MONTRÉAL, April 8, 2014 /CNW/ - The Quebec Employers Council announced the appointment of Louis-Marie Beaulieu as chairman of the board at the 45th annual general meeting of its members today. He will assume his post immediately, taking over from Jean-Yves Leblanc, whose term in office ended this year, after serving in this capacity for more than three years.
"The appointment of such an active and highly regarded CEO as Louis-Marie Beaulieu to the Quebec Employers Council's chairman of the board post is a testament to the Council's drawing power with economic decision-makers and its ability to take a leadership role as the point of convergence of employers, and the business community as a whole, in every region of Québec," stated Employers Council president Yves-Thomas Dorval. "On behalf of the entire Employers Council team, I extend a warm welcome to Mr. Beaulieu, and I look forward to working with him to ensure that employers and businesses have the best possible conditions to prosper in Québec."
Mr. Dorval also singled out Jean-Yves Leblanc for his outstanding support and dedication to the Employers Council over the last four years. He thanked him for his contribution in enhancing the Council's exposure with Québec employers throughout his two mandates.
"At a time when the principles of solid and scrupulous governance are essential for the efficient and sustainable functioning of a board of directors, Mr. Leblanc is a model and source of inspiration," remarked Mr. Dorval. "His experience and professionalism have been instrumental in reinforcing the Council's governance."
A CEO who is deeply involved in his community, and a seasoned administrator
Inducted as a Grand Québecois by the Chambre de commerce de Québec last Friday night, Louis-Marie Beaulieu is the chairman of the board and CEO of Groupe Desgagnés, a paragon in the merchant marine industry based in Québec City and with operations Canada-wide. A Université du Québec à Rimouski (UQAR) graduate in administrative sciences and a member of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants, he began his career as an auditor at Mallette, Benoit, Boulanger, Rondeau & Associés, prior to joining Groupe Desgagnés in 1981. He quickly moved up the ranks of the company and then acquired majority interest and became its CEO, in 1987.
In addition to his involvement with many foundations and organizations, Louis-Marie Beaulieu sits on various boards of directors, including the Employers Council, Transat A.T., the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec, the Société de développement économique du Saint-Laurent, the Société immobilière du Québec and the Canadian Chamber of Marine Commerce.
Five newcomers on the Employers Council's board of directors
The Employers Council also took advantage of its annual meeting to announce its board of directors for the coming year. Along with the appointment of Louis-Marie Beaulieu, Paul Dénommée, Vice-President – Corporate Controller at Metro Inc., was promoted to the post of Vice-Chairman of the Employers Council's board.
With the mandates of some board members ending this year, the Council's board of directors used this occasion to invite new business-community personalities to be involved in the governance of the organization.
The new directors named this year are:
The Quebec Employers Council brings together many of Québec's largest companies and the vast majority of sector-based employers' groups, making it Québec's sole employer federation.

Sia, the longtime songwriter who just had her solo breakthrough this year with "Chandeliers," is known for retreating from the spotlight, recently performing concerts with her back to the crowd and rarely appearing in her own visuals.
So if your curiosity about the Australian artist has been building, you might be able to soon quench it with an upcoming auction for charity.
A jar of breath — you read that right — from the elusive singer is up for grabs on Halloween in her hometown of Adelaide. It's all part of the Adelaide Film Festival, whose director Amanda Duthrie orchestrated the auction for charity and will be kicking it off after hosting a movie quiz night with her partner David Stratton.

PowerPods for Power are better options than bracket mounting. PowerPods provide a clean look for flush mounting with the advantage of a swivel base. These have the advantage of protecting the back of the electronics from harsh saltwater spray. They also protect the plastic connectors and wires from deterioration caused by long term exposure to UV.
PowerPods for Sail are great for mounting on a flat surface, perhaps under the dodger or aft end of the cockpit table especially on boats with dual wheels.

The most popular PC digital distribution platform for games could see the light of day on mobile devices running iOS or Android OS.
According to a user who had the chance to chat with the head of Valve Corporation Gabe Newell, the company behind Steam is currently "… looking into the iOS/Android platform for possible expansions with Steam." For gamers, this could open up more gaming options other than just app downloads from the Android or Apple store. Those familiar with Steam will know the huge potential of the client if it was expanded for mobile devices, including automatic game updates, cross-platform connectivity, friend lists and contacts, downloadable content, and possible mobile exclusive games from Valve and other third party game developers. It would be quite an achievement to one day be able to play games like Portal on the iPad 2 or Motorola Xoom.
A Steam platform designed for mobile platforms is definitely not out of the question, as Valve has recently been expanding the digital distribution system outside of its PC roots. The client was introduced to Mac OS X just less than a year ago and will be releasing for the PlayStation 3 simultaneously with Portal 2 later this year.
Back in January, Sony released the PlayStation App for iOS and Android users, which provide comparable functionalities to Steam including the ability to sync with PSN, receive gaming news, and view friend lists and statuses. This year could see more development for mobile platforms beyond just casual games as big name PC and console developers show what they can offer for high-end smartphones and tablets.

Apple's newest iPod nano is anything but the same. Gone is the old, tall design. The new iPod nano is very square, but it's hip to be square, right? Gone are the buttons, too. But that doesn't mean compromises have been made. The new iPod nano supports multitouch, genius mixes, Nike+, FM radio and even has a clip to keep it right where you want it. What more could you want?
The new iPod nano is seriously awesome. It's the answer to the consumer that just hates the idea of an MP3 player without a screen, but still wants it to be tiny. This guy has a small, but presumably still usable, 1.54 inch multitouch screen (just as rumored). The interface is very similar to that of an iPod touch or iPhone, just a lot smaller. It doesn't look like Apple will be allowing third party applications on this iPod, but you never know what's coming down the road. There are a number of icons you can tap to access specifics like playlists, FM radio, Genius mixes etc. These icons can even be rearanged.
The screen's orientation can be changed simply by twisting on screen with two fingers. That'll be useful when you clip it to your clothes and want to change songs or settings without unclipping it. And while there's an accellerometer in the iPod nano, you wouldn't want that controlling your screen's orientation while you're running, so good job Apple. I like it. The accellerometer is useful for shuffling songs; just give your iPod nano a shake and you'll be shuffling away. Hopefully it can tell the difference between a good shake and a good jog.
The clickwheel might be absent, but not all of the buttons are gone. There's still a Sleep/Wake button along with volume up and down buttons. That's it, though. That means you'll have to do your fast-forwarding with the multitouch screen or with headphone controls. This also means that you might want to pick up a third party cable-control adapter to make controlling playback easy, but still allow you to use headphones other than the standard Apple control headphones. This all assumes that the headphones included do, in fact, have controls, as I haven't actually be able to confirm this. Though they are listed as an accessory, so they will work even if you have to steal a pair from an iPod shuffle or other iPod.
One of the many reasons why you'd want an iPod nano over a shuffle is the FM radio with Live Pause. With it, you listen to radio when your tunes get repetitive and even pause live radio to do something else, then come back and continue listening right where you left off. Pretty nifty.
But wait, there's more. Not only does the iPod nano support Nike+ with the necessary foot sensor, it also doubles as a pedometer without it. That makes it perfect for walkers and runners. Just clip it on and you're ready to work out. The Nike+ app keeps track of everything. I'm thinking about ditching my iPod shuffle as we speak…
You have eight choices of colors: grey, charcoal, blue, green, orange, pink and (Product) Red. And finally, you have two size capacities: 8GB for $149 and 16GB for $179. That 16GB model is going to be awfully tempting since it's only an extra $30 for double the capacity of the base model. It should be available in an Apple Store next week, or you can buy one now online and have it ship out next week.

The Congo may be in trouble again, in spite of a massive international effort to once again set it on a straight course, this time through elections.
Ruled and looted until it gained independence from Belgium tn 1960, the Congo's primary problem has been repeated efforts on the part of its disparate population to break away from the bulk of the country.
The Congo is as big as the United States east of the Mississippi with a population of 60 million. It has many tribal groupings, including the Bakongo, Baluba, Balunda, Ngwandi and Banyamulenge.
Virtually every corner of the country has some source of wealth -- copper, cobalt, coltan, gold, zinc, oil, timber, hydroelectric power or agriculture -- so there is frequently a motive other than ethnic identity behind efforts to split.
The Congo also is awash in arms after intermittent warfare since independence, but with especial intensity since 1996 when it blew up in rebellion against longtime dictator and American protege Mobutu Sese Seko.
The latest Congolese and international attempt to create political stability and a foundation for economic development are this year's elections.
The first round, held July 30, involved 33 presidential candidates and many more contenders for other offices. The presidential field was boiled down to two candidates, who faced each other in a runoff Oct. 29.
One was Joseph Kabila, the son of Laurent Kabila, who overthrew Mr. Mobutu in 1997. The older Kabila was assassinated in 2001. His son, unelected, succeeded him.
The other final contender was Jean-Pierre Bemba, son of a mixed-race business family, with a somewhat rapscallion background that included gun running in the 1990s.
Both men maintain personal militias. Adding to the problem, Mr. Kabila's main support is in the east of the country, where Kiswahili is the lingua franca. Mr. Bemba's is in the west and the capital, Kinshasa, where Lingala is more widely spoken.
Mr. Kabila won the first round of presidential elections, but with less than 50 percent of the votes. He won the second round, and thus the presidency, with 58 percent to Mr. Bemba's 42 percent. Turnout was 65 percent.
The elections cost $500 million and 17,600 United Nations peacekeepers were in place to keep the peace and assure the integrity of the voting. But Mr. Bemba, the loser, has so far resisted the results of the elections, charging fraud. His supporters trashed Congo's Supreme Court building last week. Mr. Kabila is scheduled to be sworn in as president Dec. 10.
Who knows who's right. But Congo is important, and not only because of its size and wealth. It also borders on nine countries, some of which have severe problems of their own, notably Sudan, Uganda, the Central African Republic and Rwanda. The world has no choice but to care what happens to the Congo.
One American who has been deeply interested in the Congo for the past 46 years, Dr. William T. Close, has written a new book, "Beyond the Storm: Treating the Powerless and the Powerful in Mobutu's Congo/Zaire." It provides a succinct, fascinating account of the place and the evolution of his own involvement in it.
I first met Dr. Close in 1995 when I was named U.S. ambassador to what was then Zaire. He called me, introduced himself and quickly threw together in Washington a luncheon of America's few cognoscenti on the place.
Dr. Close had first gone to pre-independence Congo in 1960 to serve as a doctor for the religious nongovernment organization Moral Re-Armament. As the place came unstuck at independence and virtually all of the Belgian medical personnel fled the country, leaving the untrained Congolese to run the hospitals and clinics and provide medical care, Dr. Close's services and his willingness to stay there under the gun became exponentially rarer and vitally needed.
He eventually became chief medical officer to the Congolese National Army and personal physician to its chief -- and later president -- Joseph Desire Mobutu, who became Mobutu Sese Seko. To catch the anomaly of an American like Bill Close playing that role, it is probably also useful to note that he is the father of actress Glenn Close and from New England.
Dr. Close stuck with Mr. Mobutu for 16 years, until the dictator's shameless looting of the country's resources and Dr. Close's needling of him on the subject led to a sharp parting of the ways in 1976.
Dr. Close's involvement in the Congo has continued to turn on work he began when he had access to Mr. Mobutu. He developed and continues to support, in collaboration with a distinguished Congolese physician, Dr. Malonga Miatudila, Mama Yemo hospital in Kinshasa, the Congolese capital, a city with an estimated population of 7 million.
When I was there in 1996, when the end of the Mobutu regime was in sight, with Laurent Kabila's forces marching across the country toward Kinshasa, Dr. Close was there also, presenting new equipment to Mama Yemo Hospital. I remember thinking, "Is this stuff going to survive the pillaging that will undoubtedly accompany the fall of Kinshasa?" (It did, but that's a story for another day.)
As well as a chronicle of a critical period in one of Africa's most interesting and important countries, "Beyond the Storm" includes fascinating vignettes, including insights into the character of Mr. Mobutu. He was, after all, the only Congolese leader so far to give the country decades of peace and unity, never mind the means and the high price incurred.
Dr. Close's book gives us, for example, Mr. Mobutu at his mother's deathbed, where her last words were to exhort him to love his people, at a time when he was only exploiting them.
Dr. Closes's days as a Wyoming Rocky Mountain doctor -- his career from 1976 to date, a period when he also wrote four books and remained a persistent, informed advocate of a positive U.S. role in achieving peace and justice in the Congo -- is quite something also. The medical side of the book has informative touches, too, such as a graphic description of an embalmment in difficult circumstances.
Dr. Close also was involved in dealing with an early outbreak in the Congo of the deadly hemorrhagic fever, Ebola. The photos in the book are rich history, poignant, warm and sometimes scary.
"Beyond the Storm" is a great read. Bill Close's life is a rich, spicy example of service to mankind, in Africa and in the American West.

The Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) is a nonprofit, professional medical society representing more than 7,000 practicing interventional radiology physicians, trainees, medical students, scientists and clinical associates, including physician assistants, nurse practitioners, radiologic technologists and paramedical professionals. SIR's members work in a variety of settings and at different professional levels—from medical students and residents to university faculty and private practice physicians. The society's core purpose and mission is to work with its members to deliver patient-centered care through image-guided therapy.
Interventional radiologists pioneered minimally invasive treatment, which reaches the source of a medical problem through blood vessels or directly through a tiny incision in the skin to deliver a precise, targeted treatment. Interventional radiology treatments performed by board-certified experts can deliver solutions with less risk, less pain and less recovery time than traditional surgery. These treatments are delivered in collaboration with the patients' care team. The specialty was founded in the early 1960s. Today interventional radiology is synonymous with modern medicine.
The mission of the Society of Interventional Radiology is to improve patient care through image-guided therapy.
The vision of the Society of Interventional Radiology is to be the first choice for image-guided therapy
SIR Foundation
SIR Foundation is dedicated to advancing the clinical needs of interventional radiology by specializing in developing investigators trained in conducting basic and clinical trials research, which provides the foundation for the innovative treatments delivered through image-guided techniques. SIR Foundation has initiated a new program structure that proactively fosters research priorities in the areas of clinical research, research policy and research
SIR's awards program recognizes excellence, extraordinary contributions and distinguished service to the society and the profession. The SIR Foundation awards recognize and promote innovation within SIR and the profession. They also expose fellows, residents, and medical students to the annual meeting and interventional radiology research opportunities.
In the 50 years since interventional radiology was pioneered, image-guided medicine has rapidly evolved. Today, interventional radiology is recognized as its own specialty and is often part of a patient's collaborative health care team, from diagnosis to follow-up care. Through the lens of our dynamic new brand, SIR and SIR Foundation are working to bring greater awareness to how interventional radiology harnesses image-guided therapies to develop breakthrough treatments, change medical practice, and improve the standard of patient care.

GAVIN Tomlin and Britt Assombalonga both bagged braces as Southend United continued their recent upturn in form with a convincing and incredibly comfortable 4-1 win at Torquay on Saturday.
The Blues strikers were in fine form in front of goal as they fired Paul Sturrock's side to a fifth straight game without defeat.
And that came after Southend completely battered a Gulls team who had previously boasted the only unbeaten home record in the whole of League Two.
However, the hosts were never in the game at the weekend as they were not allowed any time to settle as Blues dominated proceedings and could quite easily have recorded an even more emphatic triumph.
Despite a few chances going begging and what appeared to be a harsh offside decision going against them, Southend still cruised to victory and, to add to their delight, both of their strikers were back on the score-sheet.
Assombalonga went in to the game without having scored a goal in five games for the first time in his career and, in his previous outing against Port Vale, he had looked short of confidence in attack.
But once he found the net again at Torquay he immediately looked back to his best and caused the home-side all kinds of problems with his pace and power.
He soon added a second to take his season's tally to 11 and having Assombalonga confident again will add an extra dimension to the Southend attack.
The same can also be said of his strike partner, Tomlin, who has come close to scoring a number of goals this term.
The experienced striker, who was up against one of his former teams at the weekend, has been incredibly unlucky in attack since signing for Blues and has continually been denied by the woodwork or some fantastic goalkeeping.
However, against Torquay, things started to go Tomlin's way and he showed fantastic composure and quality when converting both of his goals.
He now should also be boosted by returning to the score-sheet and Southend therefore have a strike-force right back on top form.
That will provide them with a big boost in the next few weeks but, while the strikers deservedly hit the headlines for their goals, the work going on behind them is perhaps even more crucial.
For the new look midfield of Kevan Hurst, Marc Laird, Tamika Mkandawire and Michael Timlin is the main reason behind Blues' turnaround in form.
Prior to the arrivals of Laird and Mkandawire in the centre of the park, Southend looked lightweight in that key area of the pitch and were often overrun by their opponents.
But, with the new look quartet, it is Blues getting on top in midfield which, in turn, has allowed them to dictate matches. It is no coincidence that Southend's five match unbeaten run started when Laird signed on loan from Leyton Orient and the addition of Mkandawire has further strengthened the side.
Subsequently, things are starting to look good again for Blues and they now sit just two points below a place in the play-offs.
Manager Sturrock deserves credit for instigating the improved results with new tactics and transfers which seem to have also enabled him to finally set up a settled side.
That too has played a part in the recent good results and, means that after an indifferent start to the season, Southend could be well be making another push for promotion.
Yet for that to happen results against teams down towards the bottom of the table must start to improve, along with the home form.
And both of those areas will be tested this week with a trip to lowly AFC Wimbledon tomorrow before Rochdale visit Roots Hall on Saturday, meaning the next few days could give a clearer indication of just how far the new look Southend side have progressed.

HP OpenVMS Systems Documentation
HP OpenVMS Debugger Manual
1.3.2 When Your Program Completes Execution
When your program completes execution normally during a debugging session, the debugger issues the following message:
You then have the following options:
1.3.3 Rerunning the Same Program from the Kept Debugger
You can rerun the program currently under debugger control at any time during a debugging session, provided you invoked the kept debugger as explained in Section 1.3.1. Use the RERUN command. For example:
The RERUN command terminates the image you were debugging and brings a fresh copy of that image under debugger control, pausing at the start of the main source module as if you had used the RUN command (see Section 1.3.1).
When you use the RERUN command you can save the current state (activated or deactivated) of any breakpoints, tracepoints, and static watchpoints. Note that the state of a particular nonstatic watchpoint might not be saved, depending on the scope of the variable being watched relative to the main program unit (where execution restarts). RERUN/SAVE is the default. To clear all breakpoints tracepoints, and watchpoints, enter RERUN/NOSAVE.
The RERUN command invokes the same version of the image that is
currently under debugger control. To debug a different version of that
program (or a different program) from the same debugging session, use
the RUN command. To rerun a program with new arguments, use the
/ARGUMENTS qualifier (see RUN and RERUN Command Options for Programs That Require Arguments).
You can bring another program under debugger control at any time during a debugging session, provided you invoked the kept debugger as explained in Section 1.3.1. Use the debugger RUN command. For example:
The debugger loads the program and pauses execution at the start of the main source module.
For more information about startup conditions and restrictions, see Section 1.3.1.
For information about all RUN command options, see the debugger RUN
command description.
If your program goes into an infinite loop during a debugging session so that the debugger prompt does not reappear, press Ctrl/C. This interrupts program execution and returns you to the debugger prompt (pressing Ctrl/C does not end the debugging session). For example:
You can also press Ctrl/C to abort the execution of a debugger command. This is useful if, for example, the debugger is displaying a long stream of data.
Pressing Ctrl/C when the program is not running or when the debugger is not performing an operation has no effect.
If your program has a Ctrl/C AST (asynchronous system trap) service routine enabled, use the SET ABORT_KEY command to assign the debugger's abort function to another Ctrl/key sequence. To identify the abort key that is currently defined, enter the SHOW ABORT_KEY command.
Pressing Ctrl/Y from within a debugging session has the same effect as
pressing Ctrl/Y during the execution of a program. Control is returned
to the DCL command interpreter ($ prompt).
The debugger SPAWN and ATTACH commands enable you to interrupt a debugging session from the debugger prompt, enter DCL commands, and return to the debugger prompt. These commands function essentially like the DCL commands SPAWN and ATTACH:
You can enter the SPAWN command with or without specifying a DCL command as a parameter. If you specify a DCL command, it is executed in a subprocess (if the DCL command invokes a utility, that utility is invoked in a subprocess). Control returns to the debugging session when the DCL command terminates (or when you exit the utility). The following example shows spawning the DCL command DIRECTORY:
The next example shows spawning the DCL command MAIL, which invokes the Mail utility:
If you enter the SPAWN command without specifying a parameter, a subprocess is created, and you can then enter DCL commands. Either logging out of the subprocess or attaching to the parent process (with the DCL command ATTACH) returns you to the debugging session. For example:
If you plan to go back and forth several times between your debugging session and a spawned subprocess (which might be another debugging session), use the debugger ATTACH command to attach to that subprocess. Use the DCL command ATTACH to return to the parent process. Because you do not create a new subprocess every time you leave the debugger, you use system resources more efficiently.
If you are running two debugging sessions simultaneously, you can
define a new debugger prompt for one of the sessions with the SET
PROMPT command. This helps you differentiate the sessions.
You can bring your program under control of the non-kept debugger in one step by entering the DCL command RUN filespec.
Note that when running the non-kept debugger, you cannot use the debugger RERUN or RUN features explained in Section 1.3.3 and Section 1.3.4, respectively. To rerun the same program or run another program under debugger control, you must first exit the debugger and start it again.
To start the non-kept debugger by running a program:
For example:
Upon startup, the debugger displays its banner, executes any user-defined initialization file, sets the language-dependent parameters to the source language of the main program, suspends execution at the start of the main program, and prompts for commands.
For more information about startup conditions, see Section 1.2.3 and
Section 1.3.1.
You can bring a program that is executing freely under debugger control. This is useful either if you suspect that the program might be in an infinite loop or if you see erroneous output.
To bring your program under debugger control:
For example:
Upon startup, the debugger displays its banner, executes any user-defined initialization file, sets the language-dependent parameters to the source language of the module where execution was interrupted, and prompts for commands.
Usually you will not know where execution was interrupted. Enter the SHOW CALLS command to determine where execution is paused and to display the sequence of routine calls on the call stack (the SHOW CALLS command is described in Section 2.3.3).
Note that when running the non-kept debugger, you cannot use the debugger RERUN or RUN features explained in Section 1.3.3 and Section 1.3.4, respectively. To rerun the same program or run another program under debugger control, you must first exit the debugger and start it again.
For more information about startup conditions, see Section 1.2.3 and
Section 1.3.1.
To end a debugging session in an orderly manner and return to DCL level, enter EXIT or QUIT or press Ctrl/Z. For example:
The QUIT command starts the debugger exit handlers to close log files, restores the screen and keypad states, and so on.
The EXIT command and Ctrl/Z function identically. They perform the same
functions as the QUIT command, and additionally execute any exit
handlers that are declared in your program.
If you are at a workstation running HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS, by default the debugger starts up in the HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS user interface, which is displayed on the workstation specified by the HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS applicationwide logical name DECW$DISPLAY.
The logical name DBG$DECW$DISPLAY enables you to override the default to display the debugger's command interface in a DECterm window, along with any program input/output (I/O).
To display the debugger's command interface in a DECterm window:
For example:
You can now bring your program under debugger control as explained in Section 1.3.1. For more information about the logical names DBG$DECW$DISPLAY and DECW$DISPLAY, see Section 9.8.3.
On a workstation running HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS, you can also run the
client/server configuration of the OpenVMS debugger. See Section 9.9
for details.
The OpenVMS Debugger Version 7.2 and later features a client/server interface that allows you to debug programs running on OpenVMS on VAX or Alpha from a PC debug client interface running:
The client/server interface will be available for OpenVMS I64 systems in a future release.
The OpenVMS client/server configuration allows the following:
The client and server communicate using Distributed Computing Environment/Remote Procedure Calls (DCE/RPC) over one of the following transports:
To invoke the server on an OpenVMS node, enter the following command:
The server displays its network binding strings. You must specify one of these strings when you connect a HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS or Microsoft Windows client to this server. For example:
In the client's Server Connection dialog box, enter the type of network protocol (TCP/IP, DECnet, or UDP) and the corresponding network binding string (see Section 9.9.4).
For more information about using the debug client interface, see
Chapter 11.
The design and implementation of the debugger's HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS user interface requires that the process being debugged have a command line interpreter (CLI). To debug a detached process (such as a print symbiont) that does not have a CLI, you must use the character-cell (screen mode) interface to the debugger.
To do so, direct DBG$INPUT, DBG$OUTPUT and DBG$ERROR to a terminal port that is not logged in. This allows the image to be debugged with the standard character-cell interface on that terminal.
For example:
1.12 Configuring Process Quotas for the Debugger
Each user needs a PRCLM quota sufficient to create an additional subprocess for the debugger, beyond the number of processes needed by the program.
BYTLM, ENQLM, FILLM, and PGFLQUOTA are pooled quotas. You may need to increase these quotas to account for the debugger subprocess as follows:
1.13 Debugger Command Summary
The following sections list all the debugger commands and any related
DCL commands in functional groupings, along with brief descriptions.
During a debugging session, you can get online help on all debugger
commands and their qualifiers by typing HELP at the debugger prompt
(see Section 2.1).
The following commands start the debugger, bring a program under debugger control, and interrupt and end a debugging session. Except where the DCL commands RUN and DEBUG are indicated specifically, all commands are debugger commands.
1.13.2 Controlling and Monitoring Program Execution
The following commands control and monitor program execution:
1.13.3 Examining and Manipulating Data
The following commands examine and manipulate data:

Photo Flash: Elephant Space Hosts World Premiere of SUPERNOVA
The critically acclaimed, award-winning Elephant Theatre Company will begin its 14th season with the world premiere of Supernova by Timothy McNeil, with performances beginning on Thursday, May 20. Opening night is set for Saturday, May 22, and Supernova will play a limited engagement through June 27.
Supernova tells the story of Mabel Davies, a not-so-simple housewife in Des Moines, Iowa, who has spent years living for everyone else. Following the appearance of a magazine with a dog-eared page on her kitchen table, and the events that follow, Mabel finds her life changing in extraordinary ways. A 'supernova' is defined as an extremely luminous stellar explosion that briefly outshines an entire galaxy before fading from view. Supernova ponders fate, destiny, love, and radicalism.
The cast will feature (in alphabetical order) Micah Cohen, Kelly Elizabeth, Gina Garrison, Tony Gatto, Bonnie McNeil, Tim McNeil, James Pippi, Edward Tournier, and Joe Wiebe. The design team for Supernova includes Elephant Stageworks (set), Joel Daavid (lighting), Jack Arky (sound) and Louis Douglas Jacobs (costumes). Edgar Landa is fight choreographer, Shannon Simonds is the production stage manager, and Supernova is being produced for the Elephant by David Fofi.
Playwright Timothy McNeil is a member of the Stella Adler Academy faculty, and his play Anything had its world premiere at the Elephant in 2008. That production received four LADCC Award nominations, winning three, and was also nominated by GLAAD as best production of the year. Three of McNeil's other plays have been produced locally: Los Muertos, Margaret, and Crane, Mississippi.
There will be two lower-priced preview performances of Supernova on Thursday, May 20 and Friday, May 21 at 8pm, and opening night is set for Saturday, May 22 at 8:00. THE MEDIA IS INVITED AND ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND THE OPENING NIGHT PERFORMANCE ON SATURDAY 5/22, BUT IS ALSO WELCOME AT ANY OTHER PERFORMANCE AFTER THAT DATE. The regular performance schedule is Friday and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 7pm through June 27. All tickets for regular performances are $20 (previews are $15). To purchase tickets, call (323) 960-4410 or reserve online: www.plays411.com/supernova. For more information on the Elephant Theatre Company, visit www.elephanttheatrecompany.com.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello Mark and thank you for your question,
I can tell you that taking probiotics (culterelle and acidophilis) and benefiber is not a cure for IBS.
Your symptoms sound like a typical IBS presentation. IBS is also known as "nervous gut" and that is exactly what you are describing. The best and the only affective treatment for IBS is to treat anxiety since anxiety is the cause of your IBS. We use anti-anxiety medications for IBS even when people don't know that they have anxiety and usually their symptoms improve or resolve.
The best medications I have found to work for IBS are Lexapro or Amitriptyline. Instead of wasting your money and time by taking supplements which will probably do little for you, I would recommend talking to your doctor about starting one of these two medications. Until your anxiety is controlled, IBS will continue to act up.
I can reassure you that your stomach symptoms are not suggestive of any type of cancer and you are not dying.
I hope you find this information helpful. Please feel free to follow-up with any other questions you might have.
If you are satisfied with the answer, please click 'Accept' button so that I may get credit for my work.
Best wishes and good luck,
Thanks for your reply.
25 mg of Zoloft is a very very small dose and it probably hasn't done much to improve your anxiety. It sounds that you are starting to titrate it up but you will probably need about 100 mg daily before you start noticing any symptoms. My one advise right now would be to take 50 mg at once, not 25 mg several times apart.
These sensations that you are describing is definitely a symptom of IBS. When IBS is present you have increased gas in your gut so when the gas moves around, it causes these bubbling sensations. It is not associated with the hunger pains. This is simply increased motility of the gut and increased gas in the gut causing these sensations.
I hope this helps. Let me know if I can answer anything else for you. I will be happy to help you further.
If I answered your questions, please click 'Accept' button so that I may get credit for my work.
Absolutely stress will make your IBS worse. IBS is called "nervous gut" so any stress, any anxiety, any nervousness will make it worse. Food often will make no difference on IBS although some people can tell that certain food item makes their symptoms worse but it seems that that's not your case.
I have personally never prescribed Zoloft twice daily, I only use one daily dose. I do think you should ask your doctor if you can take 50 mg at once instead of separating it. If you are tolerating medication well, you will probably will need to increase it to 75 mg daily.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
I see, maybe that's why your doctor gave you 25 mg twice daily to avoid the tiredness side effect but you can try taking it at bedtime and that should help with that.
I hope Zoloft will start helping you too because it sounds that your symptoms are pretty bad but I do think you will need your dose titrated before you see any significant benefit. The idea behind Zoloft is to treat your anxiety first, that, in turn, will help with IBS.
If Zoloft fails, another very successful medication that can be used is called Amitriptyline so don't give up.
I am glad to hear that you are willing to work with your doctors to get all this under control. Eventually you will find a medication which will improve your symptoms and will help you function better, like a 23 year old should.
Let me know if you have other questions.
If I answered your questions, please click 'Accept' button.
Best wishes,
Hi Again,
Tell me, did you have any tests done such as endoscopy, colonoscopy, CT scans?
When were they done?
Thanks for replying.
Given your age and how long you have had these symptoms, I am quite sure that nothing serious is going on but due to the fact that you have anxiety which is making these symptoms worse, it would probably be better to just get some tests done. It would mostly be for your piece of mind because I do think they will be normal. But it may help you feel safer, therefore less stressed, therefore have less symptoms.
I would start with have 3 tests first - CT scan of abdomen and pelvis, a test for H. pylori which is a bacteria that lives in the stomach (best test to check for it is called "stool antigen" - your doctor will know), and also a blood test to check for gluten intolerance (basically meaning allergy to gluten product which is found in many food items, especially beer and since you said beer causes you a lot of stomach issues, I think it is something that should be checked).
Talk to your doctor about having it done. Explain that it will make you feel better knowing there is nothing wrong.
I think the first you should do (even before a CT scan) is to do a blood test for gluten intolerance and a test for H. Pylori infection. These are simple and even if positive, cause absolutely no harm but rather can be treated. I don't think it is anything to even loose a minute of your sleep over.
If those tests are both normal, you can then decide if you want a CT scan - I am 99.9999% confident that your CT scan will be normal and maybe having a normal CT scan can put your thoughts at rest and improve your symptoms.
You have to be willing to help yourself in order to feel better. Starting Zoloft is definitely the first step for that but you have to try and overcome your fears which are not based on anything.
Based on all your descriptions, your symptoms, your age, the duration of how long this has been going on, your most likely diagnosis is IBS but because we do not have tests to diagnosis IBS, we need to rule out some other common causes of similar symptoms in order to definitely label you as having IBS.
The best medicines to treat IBS are anti-anxiety medicines, unfortunately nothing else really works. Some people do get benefit from probiotics but it seems that in your case it has not been much help.
IBS is very very common, I wouldn't be surprised if 1 out of 6 people had it but everyone's symptoms differ, some people have it more, some have it less, some have more anxiety and some have less. So you shouldn't compare the severity of your symptoms to other people. Everyone is different!
Mucus in the stool is very typical for IBS and you don't have to have diarrhea and/or constipation in order to be diagnosed with it. Symptoms of IBS include bloating, increased gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation. Not all of these symptoms need to be present at once so just because you don't have the diarrhea, it doesn't rule out IBS.
The blood test will not even look for cancer so doing a blood test should not cause you more anxiety. You DO NOT have cancer, you just don't, and so you don't need to worry about finding it. You need to start reassuring yourself everyday that you are young and that you don't have cancer.
Thank you! I appreciate it. I will be happy to assist you and hopefully calm you down and reassure you that you will be just fine :)
Talk soon,
I am so sorry, I did not get back to you yesterday because I am out of town and have very limited access to the computer.
I will be back home on Tuesday morning and will get back to you in more detail then.
I will tell you, however, that the main symptom of Chron's disease is bloody diarrhea. You said that you don't have diarrhea and you didn't mention anything about rectal bleeding, so I can pretty certainly tell you that you do not have Chron's disease.
Please go to your doctor and at least get the 2 tests I recommended done first - blood test for Gluten intolerance and stool test for H. pylori bacteria. You can also ask for a test to check you for lactose intolerance if you ever noticed that after eating dairy products your symptoms get worse.
Also, if you have been tolerating Zoloft 25 mg twice daily without problems, I would recommend increasing it to 75 mg daily - for example, taking 1 pill (25 mg) in the morning and 2 pills (50 mg) at bedtime.
Let me know if you have other questions but I may not get back to you right away because I have limited internet access but as soon as I can get to a computer, I will write you back.
You can click 'Accept' whenever you wish, I am not worried about you not accepting.
You don't have to pay separately to accept my answer, you just need to click 'Accept' and I will get my payment.
I already answered a lot of your questions but I will be happy to answer any other ones you have. I am back at home so I have access to the internet without a problem now.
Let me know.
Just like with Chron's disease, symptoms of colitis are bloody diarrhea. Again, you don't have these symptoms so I really don't think you have colitis.
There really aren't that many things that can possibly be wrong with your gut. You definitely don't have cancer (because the symptoms you are describing are not symptoms we see in people who have cancer), you most likely do not have colitis (either Chron's or ulcerative colitis) because you do not have the bloody diarrhea and the weight loss that usually accompanies colitis, you don't have a stomach ulcer.
You are scared to go get tests done because you have anxiety disorder which is not treated properly (you are under-treated). But there is not much else (or anyone else) can tell you until you get some tests done. None of the tests are scary and even if they diagnose a problem, the problem is not life-threatening by any means. If anything, it will help you so much. For example, if you have lactose or gluten intolerance, all you would need to do is avoid foods/products that have lactose or that have gluten. What is scary about this?
You should get an ultrasound or CT scan of your abdomen to look for gallstones, sometimes they can cause abdominal pain after eating but usually it only happens in right upper quadrant of the abdomen so i really dont think you have any gallbladder stones.
If you want to get better, you need to go and get tested. I am sure your tests will show nothing, which means you have IBS and just knowing that, will make you feel so much better. The more you worry, the worse the symptoms get.
I hope this answers your questions. Please, get the courage to see your doctor. You will be just fine but me saying that will not get rid of your fears. You will only feel better once you do the tests and find out that everything is ok.
You are welcome.
Yes, if you click 'Accept' it will charge you another $18. I must have misunderstood what you said earlier.
When you start your new question, you can say "For Julia" or just request me. I am on line until about 4:00 pm central time today.

I will be preparing my i-751 application in March. I read through the list of evidence that needs to be submitted. I spoke a lawyer and she suggested that I do not need "affidavit letters from at least 2 people who have known us for at least 2 years".
I am confused. If it is not required, then why is it on the list? I do have rest of the documents ready.
I will appreciate of anyone who might have submitted their i-751 or any related experience and will shed some light.
Thank you.

After an awkward and somewhat contentious City Council meeting last week Councilman Sal DiCiccio says he doesn't want an apology from Mayor Phil Gordon, he just wants more transparency about the city budget.
DiCiccio of Ahwatukee was called "childish" by Gordon during a council meeting on June 8. The argument was over the city budget and the food tax that was passed last year.
DiCiccio claims that the food tax was pushed as a tax to save fire and police but the money raised by the food tax is the exact same amount that was paid in pay raises and bonuses for city employees. He believes if the food tax had not been passed, those raises would not have been given.
"What we were able to do was find a direct correlation between the food tax and the pay raises," said DiCiccio. "The timeline is pretty clear that the public was kept in the dark about all of this. The food tax was passed with barely 24 hours notice. Then the council voted on the budget. Then the labor agreements. Two full months after every decision was made the public got the first notice of what those pay raises were. It was completely done to hide that information from the public and that's just completely unacceptable in a city like ours."
Gordon asked DiCiccio during the meeting if he is claiming to not know about the city's steps and increases policy but he refused to allow DiCiccio to answer beyond a yes or a no.
Since the meeting DiCiccio passed a memo asking fellow council members to consider shortening the time of the temporary food tax from five years to three. He wanted the item to be placed on the agenda for the council's June 14 meeting.
Gordon sent out a memo informing DiCiccio that a panel would be formed to discuss the food tax and a full report of where the tax money was allocated would be released and discussed in September.
"Rather than this political game of putting your finger up in the air let's deliberate on this, then have public hearings on it and let the council adopt it," Gordon said. "That was my reasoning behind this panel. If that tax isn't needed and that's what the majority of the community wants, then I'm a taxpayer, too."
Gordon asked each of the council members to select two people to be on the task force that will compile the report. The report is expected to detail where the food tax revenue has been spent, which jobs were saved and projections examining the impact of removing the tax from current and future budgets.
Gordon believes the report will show that the tax was indeed needed to save police and fire jobs and important services that residents wanted. He says no money from the food tax was used for pay raises.
"I think a good thing resulted out of a very uncomfortable situation," DiCicco said. "I would like to see a complete repeal of the food tax. It was completely unnecessary then and it is completely unnecessary now. To get people at least talking about it I think is a good thing. It's a step in the right direction."
DiCiccio said only Councilman Bill Gates responded positively to his idea of shortening the food tax. Gates, Neely and DiCiccio were the only members of the council to oppose the tax when it was passed. He believes shortening the tax would be a good compromise and possibly ensure that the tax would remain a temporary one.
DiCiccio believes getting rid of the food tax would not lead to a violation of labor agreements but that the city would just have to find a more creative way to pay. He believes cutting the food tax would be a good incentive for finding a new creative solution to the budget problem. For now, because he does not have enough support in the council, DiCiccio plans to wait for September.
"My pledge is that we're going to get through this," said DiCiccio. "It may be uncomfortable but I'm starting to see signs of life with the other council members. There may be some willingness to tackle some of these tough decisions and not kick the can down the road. As the public becomes more and more aware it's going to be less likely that people will hide these things."
