What's on the Horizon for Parasite Control
- Oct 16, 2001
- Topics:
Among the plethora of studies and research dedicated to improving equine health, the war against internal parasites has made some of the biggest strides. The most effective dewormer to result from the last 20 years of research is Ivermectin. That anthelmintic's claim to fame is its ability to kill internal parasites in both the larval and adult stages--large and small strongyles, ascarids, adult pinworms, and bots. More importantly, after 13 years on the market, there have been no documented cases of Ivermectin resistance by equine adult small strongyles. Ivermectin is distributed by MSD AgVet and has been on the market since 1983.
While Ivermectin is the current marvel among oral drench and paste dewormers, there are some very promising products on the horizon of equine research. One is still in the development stage, and two others are currently under scrutiny by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
A Fungus Among Us
One of the most exciting possibilities for controlling worm infestation is not a drug at all, but a naturally occurring fungus that eats parasite larvae in the environment.
Among those enthusiastic about the fungus potential is Dennis French, DVM, who specializes in animal parasitology and is affiliated with Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge. French and colleague Thomas R. Klei, PhD, have worked on numerous parasitic-based research projects, including evaluations of several anthelmintics, among them Ivermectin.
"It is quite an interesting concept," said French of the fungus. "We have not used it yet, but I am encouraged by its potential."
The bulk of the fungus research is being done by Peter Nansen and his colleagues in Denmark. Nansen has identified several species of the fungus that might be effective in parasite control.
Nansen proposes mixing the fungus in the feed of horses and cattle. This way, the fungus is digested and intermingled in an animal's feces. When the animal defecates, the fungus is passed out of the animal, along with parasitic larvae. It is in the manure, on the ground, where the fungus interrupts the parasite's life cycle. It does this by feeding on the larva that is either active in the feces when it is eliminated, or that hatches after the feces is expelled by the horse.
The fungus literally breaks the life cycle by "capturing" the larva and holding it in the fecal pat (manure pile), French explained. Since the larva cannot migrate, it cannot get onto grasses and weeds where it would again be ingested by the horse. The fungus is a natural blocking agent that does not allow the larva to get loose to re-infest the horse.
When given the choice, horses prefer not to graze close to manure, thus larva held by the fungus in the manure have little chance of infesting a horse.
When one considers how many eggs or larva a horse can pass a day, it's easy to imagine how the fungus will have a colossal impact toward parasite control. French said a heavily infected horse can pass as many a 1,000 to 2,000 eggs per gram of feces dropped. The average horse drops 35 pounds, or about 1,600 grams, of manure daily--that is 1,600 grams times 1,500 eggs, or 24 million eggs or larvae a day.
"That's a lot of eggs," French said. "This is where the advantage of the fungus lies. If we can control the parasite in the feces, we greatly reduce the potential for re-infestation."
Because the fungus is a biological compound, French is optimistic it will receive FDA approval for distribution as a parasite control product. French does not know, however, when the product will be submitted to the FDA or how long it will take to get through the bureaucracy.
New Anthelmintics
French doesn't expect the fungus to be commercially available for several more years. However, there are two other parasitic compounds currently wending their way through the FDA. The new compounds are of the Avermectin family, Moxidectin and Doramectin. French expects that they might be on the market within two years. Doramectin was developed by Pfizer Animal Health, and Moxidectin was developed by American Cyanamid. Moxidectin is currently in use in Australia and New Zealand.
Both of these compounds appear to have some efficacy against resistant small strongyles in the horse's gut, he said.
French and Klei participated in clinical trials for Moxidectin. Their trial research determined that Moxidectin had efficacy similar to Ivermectin against all common adult and larval gastrointestinal nematodes. They also found that Moxidectin was less effective than Ivermectin against Gasterophilus intestinalis (bots). Moxidectin and Ivermectin were both ineffective against Anoplocephala perfoliata (tapeworms).
Whereas Ivermectin has had little efficacy against encysted cyathostome larvae, research on Doramectin and Moxidectin has found the two drugs to be more effective against the larva that burrow into the mucus membrane of the intestinal tract.
"Ivermectin has no effect on encysted forms even at elevated doses," French explained. "But it is very effective in removing adults who lay the eggs which produce resistant babies. On the other hand, from our one study, it appears that Moxidectin has a dramatic effect on encysted forms of these small strongyles larvae."
This breakthrough in removing encysted larvae of small strongyles will be a boon to researchers who have recently determined that small strongyles are more damaging than previously thought.
"We used to think that small strongyles were not a problem," French said. "However, we are hearing of more and more reports that the larvae of these small strongyles actually cause some clinical problems (diarrhea) as they emerge from the lumen of the bowel. We also suspect that the small strongyles have a great impact on a horse's overall condition and can stunt a foal's growth."
French's contacts at American Cyanamid also informed him that studies in Australia and New Zealand are uncovering some exciting results. It appears that after treating a horse with Moxidectin, egg counts in manure are staying at, or near, zero for up to 30 weeks following treatments.
"If research and usage confirm the fact that Moxidectin can reduce egg counts as long as company officials say it can, I expect it will be well received by veterinarians and horse owners (in this country)," he said.
That potentially makes it a real nice tool, or drug, to use especially in highly intensive systems where egg shedding is an important factor in parasite transmission, French said.
"If you can knock out the shedding of parasites for 30 weeks, that is a tremendous benefit toward controlling re-infestation," he added.
No official or specific study information was available on Doramectin. Officials at Pfizer declined to offer any information on their product, saying they could not comment on the drug while under FDA consideration.
With the introduction of Doramectin and Moxidectin on the horizon, what will the best product be for parasite control? Will Doramectin or Moxidectin dominate the parasite control products industry like Ivermectin does now?
"The introduction of these products will give us more tools to treat with," French said. "The advantage of having multiple products available is that one product may be more effective against a particular type of parasite, and another drug may be more effective against another. Moxidectin, for instance, has more efficacy against encysted small strongyles, whereas Ivermectin may be better against bots or large strongyles."
Having more anthelmintic drugs is an advantage, claims French. Flexibility allows horse owners and veterinarians to pick and choose products depending on a farm's individual situation and the horses being treated.
"Moxidectin will perhaps work better against some parasites when compared to Ivermectin," French said in conclusion. "What remains to be seen is how the products will interplay within the market. The success of one product over another will depend on what goes through the minds of veterinarians as they promote products, and what goes though the minds of horsemen when they compare and buy these types of products. Hopefully, they will base their choices on efficacy and the benefit to the health of the horse being treated first, and cost second."

Triangle Foodie News: Whole hog barbecue joint opens in Durham
Posted February 5, 2016
Featured news
This is pretty cool. Julie Terry out at RTP, was the first to inform me about a new dining option right in the middle of the Triangle. The Farmery is now operating a restaurant out of a 1968 Airstream kitchen at The Frontier in Research Triangle Park. The coolest part is that many of The Farmery's ingredients are sourced directly from shipping containers located across the Triangle that have been converted into crop boxes. They are currently open 11 a.m. - 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, but expect to begin offering breakfast options soon. You can find them at 800 Park Offices Drive in Research Triangle Park.
Wake County restaurant news
We told you about this back in January (everything but the new name), but the Triangle Business Journal reported this week that the entity taking over the former Tyler's Taproom location in Raleigh's Seaboard Station will be called Oak & Dagger Public House. As reported, it will feature a full-on brewery surrounding diners on all sides. The TBJ reports they will also open a bottle shop. Look for a Spring opening.
The News & Observer reported that downtown Raleigh's Person Street Pharmacy will begin offering a breakfast menu (and opening an hour earlier) next Tuesday, Feb. 9.
Changes coming to downtown Raleigh's Napper Tandy's was one of the worst kept secrets toward the end of 2015. But it is now confirmed that Napper Tandy's is no longer. It is now Tremor Bar and Grill, still located at 410 Glenwood Ave..
Last week we told you that the doors were temporarily closed to downtown Raleigh's Cafe de los Muertos (at 300 W. Hargett St.) after the NC Department of Revenue encouraged them to do "a little remodeling." Well, apparently they have kissed and made up and things are back to normal. Stop by and pay them a visit!
Thanks to the keen eyes of the EatRaleigh blog, it looks like there is a bakery making plans to move into the former Zydeco space at 208 Wolfe St., near Big Ed's in City Market. Thanks also to Ashton Mae Smith for bringing this to my attention. Stay tuned.
Last week we told you that the north Raleigh location of Duck Donuts had opened. As if that is not enough sugary goodness for one corner of the Triangle, this week folks on Yelp were reporting that Baker's Dozen Donuts has opened at 123 Plantation Square behind Triangle Town Center near First Watch.
Not sure how we missed this, but a new authentic Jamaican restaurant has opened at 3901 Capital Blvd. in Raleigh called Mum's Jamaican Restaurant. Thanks to Janika Reid for reaching out to me. Also loved that her email was signed, "One Love!"
Friend Darcy Huante, and co-owner of Chef Mario's, tipped me off to the fact that Michelangelo's Pizza on Harrison Avenue in Cary has closed. And according to banners that are hanging up, it will be replaced by Randy's Pizza. Although we don't have any word on an open date. We will keep you posted. Thanks Darcy!

Five Course Love. This production consists of five musical scenes set in five different restaurants, each one a broad parody in which author Gregg Coffin spoofs stereotypes while shamelessly using and abusing them. There's a barbecue place featuring country/Western music; an Italian restaurant where a mob wife is cheating — very operatically — on her husband; a cozy German restaurant intended as a place of refuge for the Eleanor Rigbys of the world that ends up hosting a dominatrix and her men; a Mexican cantina where a sweet maiden must decide between the waiter's true love and the lustful excitement offered by an outlaw; and, finally, a standard '50s diner with a doo-wop ambience and a kindly owner called Pop. Three actors whip through all the roles, donning and doffing costumes and assuming jokey accents. It's all really silly — but some of the songs are musically witty (and very well played by musical director Troy Schuh and his musicians) and some downright balls-out daft. Others are really very lovely: the ballad about refuge from the rain sung by the German waiter, for example, and the love song "Blue Flame." Many of the best numbers in Five Course Love occur in the last couple of acts, and it's also only at the end that you learn there's a dramatic reason for a lot of hokeyness.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Denver theater audiences are famous for the ease with which they award standing ovations — but Hedwig and the Angry Inch, now reprised at the Avenue Theater, deserved the cheer it got last summer. Born Hansel and desperate to escape Communist East Berlin, Hedwig endures a sex-change operation so that she can marry an American G.I. Long ago abandoned by the G.I, yearning for her beloved Tommy Gnosis — a rock star who owes his success to her songs — she now tours various sleazy dives, wearing a ghastly blond wig with huge soup-can curls on top. Accompanied by her ambiguously sexed husband, Yitzak, and her band, the Angry Inch, she ruminates in song and monologue about the nature of love, still trying to figure out just who she is and where she belongs while performing a slew of fantastic numbers: "The Origin of Love," "Wig in a Box," "Wicked Little Town." Not only are the songs great in this raucous, touching, rock-concert-cum-theater piece, but so are the musicians and actors, particularly Amanda Earls as Yitzak and Nick Sugar's balls-out performance as he goes through his personal cathartic transformation every night from Hansel to Hedwig. The production is an amazing amount of fun, despite touching on issues of identity at the most profound level.

Traces. The talented acrobats of Traces aren't dressed, Cirque-style, in masks or feathers; they're not working with artsy, enigmatic, mythical stories or cavorting in fairytale landscapes. They're just a group of folks in dull gray, brown and black street clothes. They share a little information about themselves, though not a lot, and if there's a story here, it's fairly undefined. For the most part, these seem to be kids hanging around on a street corner, dancing, jostling each other, fighting a bit; there's a screen behind them that sometimes flickers with black-and-white images and sometimes shows Chinese characters or drawings of skyscrapers, and the music ranges from pulse-pounding to old songs to soft, Erik Satie-like piano phrases, often produced by the multi-talented cast members themselves. But the real story lies in the acrobatics: someone skimming weightlessly up a pole, then stretching his body out in a true horizontal; actors leaping straight up from the ground and over each other's bodies; Florian Zumkehr doing impossible tricks with an ever-growing pile of chairs; the group at times using skateboards as bats, or making like Fred Astaire with his elegant cane.

I just installed the latest version of America Online (AOL) software and man, I'm steamed! All of a sudden AOL's taken over my entire Windows taskbar! How the heck do I get rid of the $#@$@# thing?
I know what you mean about AOL software. In general, I find that Windows applications are much more presumptuous than Mac applications and AOL's about the worst offender, adding its own stuff to the Start bar, to the Quicklinks, to the Taskbar and more. Then it's darn tricky to figure out how to get rid of it all and have your computer work as desired.
I presume you're talking about this when you talk about having AOL Search take over your taskbar:
Logically, you'd think that right clicking on the AOL Search area or clicking on the triangle adjacent to the "Go" button would reveal some preferences:
It does offer a Settings option, but when you choose that, you end up with the completely useless:
Interesting how none of them are "'turn off this $#@$ feature"!
It turns out that it's actually easy to turn off the AOL Search area once you realize that Windows thinks of it as another toolbar . Just right-click anywhere that the taskbar itself is empty and you'll see "Toolbars": simply disable the "AOL Deskbar" and it all vanishes:
So it turns out to be pretty easy to do, once you figure everything out.
Hope that helps you recover some of your precious taskbar real estate!

Whether you're looking to hear those sneaking footsteps or simply need to keep your gaming quiet, gaming headsets can be extremely divisive. Some are really good, others are terrible. Here are some of the best headsets to enhance your PS3 gaming experience.
Note: The prices and deals compiled below are accurate at the time we published this story, but all are subject to change.
Coming from Sony's own stable, the Pulse Elite Wireless Stereo Headset is a feature-heavy device that ticks all the boxes to grab our attention. Of note, apart from its solid wireless capability, are the BassImpact triggers which acts as a rumble pack that delivers a unqiue experience in explosion-heavy games like Call of Duty or Battlefield (although it might perform improperly with movies and other content). It also has 7.1 surround sound capability, and while it is stimulated, it should at least give greater sound positioning if at a cost of overall sound quality. The headset also integrates with the PlayStation 3's UI, so you get updates about the battery life and other functions directly on the screen. The built-in microphone is hidden so that you can easily use the headset for movies or music without the added bulk of the microphone hanging out.
What's more, the headset is also compatible with the PC and Mac.
- Connections: Bluetooth
- Audio:Stereo, 7.1 Digital Surround Sound
Compatible Devices: PlayStation 3, PC, Mac
Need a top of the line wireless gaming headset? The Turtle Beach PX 51 headset is your best bet. Not only does it operate on a Dual-Band Wi-Fi wireless system that's more reliable and clear than RF systems, but it has built-in bluetooth that allows for you to listen to music or take phone calls right from the headset. That might sound like a hellish scenario for battery life, but Turtle Beach claims 15 hours of continuous battery life from a single charge of the rechargeable battery. On top of that, you're getting a full Dolby Digital Surround Sound experience to make sure of the dual-band system. Most importantly, the top band and ear cups are heavily padded, making for extreme comfort under long play sessions.
- Connections: Dual-Band WiFi; Bluetooth
- Audio: Stereo
Compatible systems: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC/Mac, Bluetooth-enabled phones and tablets.
Astro has cemented themselves as a staple of the gaming community by constantly producing high-quality, durable headsets and mixamps. The Astro A40 audio system is a shining example of this, featuring a sturdy over-ear headset that ties directly into a mixamp that allows for direct control over voice and chat volume. More than that, the mixamp allows for Dolby Digital 7.1 surround sound without the need for a large bulky box. The mixamp's compact design works with all Astro products and matches that of the A40. It also puts the player in charge of what they want to hear by enabling custom volumes for both chat and game audio. Most importantly, they're extremely comfortable and work with whatever system you can plug them into. The main system is wired, but there's a wireless version available if that's a deciding factor in your purchase.
- Connections: Wired 3.5mm cable
- Audio: 7.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound
Compatible Systems: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, anything with a 3.5mm jack
The Turtle Beach X-RAY Wireless Dolby Surround Headset might not be your first choice at headsets if you aren't a Call of Duty gamer, but a little decoration doesn't stop it from being a powerhouse of a headset, especially at nearly half the cost of its competitors. Utilizing both 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz frequency bands means that you won't have to worry about any frequency congestion or static. On top of that, it connects to the PlayStation 3 via Bluetooth for chat capabilities, meaning you won't need that pesky chat cable.The Bluetooth can even be used to take phone calls or listen to music in game, just like the more expensive Turtle Beach counterpart, the PX 51. If you aren't finding the surround sound to sound just right, you can adjust the speaker angles in the headset until you find it comfortable. Despite all this tech running at once, it still manages to get nearly 15 hours of use from a single charge.
- Connections: Bluetooth, Dual-Band WiFi
- Audio: Stereo; Digital Surround Sound
Compatible Devices: PlayStation 3
Perhaps the newest and most unexpected entry on our list is the Plantronics RIG Stereo Headset and Mixer. It isn't what you would traditionally think of when looking for gaming headsets, but this newcomer brings with it all the features of established favorites but at a fraction of the price. It comes equipped with Bluetooth allowing for gamechat and phone calls within the helmet and even has swappable mics (both boom and inline), making it easy for you to customize the RIG to your current needs. Its futuristic mixamp only adds to the professional look and manages to do so without becoming overbearing, which is something that a good amount of gaming headset manufacturers fail to remember when taking on legacy headsets. Connect your phone and pump in some music while you game all over wireless Bluetooth.
- Connections: Bluetooth, Mixamp
- Audio: Stereo
Compatible Devices: PC/Mac, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, smartphones, and tablets.

Jason Patric, Bruce Willis and John Cusack face off in this action-packed thriller. A retired assassin is drawn back into the life he gave up when his daughter is kidnapped. To rescue her, he must confront his former rival.
The movie is directed by Brian A Miller (House of the Rising Sun), my first impression from the trailer is that the movie is similar to Taken (Starring Liam Neeson), although I could be wrong, but it is very similar and the plot sounds similar as well, but only time will tell how it all pans out.
Suffice to say the trailer above has become quite popular since its release and the movie, the movie is released in the USA in August, but as of yet there doesn't seem to be a UK date for the release of The Prince, but we will keep this post updated when and if we get a release date.
So what do you think, do you think it is like Taken or is it another Die Hard movie? Please share your thoughts.

User register questions in Multisite
I have setup a Buddypress/Multisite install with a couple subsites and have a question about users registering to a subsite. We are in the test phase and the sites are not "live" yet.
When a user registers for a subsite they are redirected to the main sites register page. If you register using the main sites register page then the user is registered with the main site, not the subsite. The only way that I figured out to register someone for the subsite is if I do it in admin.
What I would like to do is…
1) Have a seperate register/login/lostpassword page for each subsite.
2) Have a person automagically register for the main site when registering at a subsite.
3) Registration on subsite 1 does not register users on subsite 2.
I can't seem to find any documentation on multisite users and registration so any help with all this confusion would be greatly appreciated.

Vote Me in and Action Will be Done
On this election day I am running to be elected as the socialist freedom party's president. I am the likely choice because I have actually stated a plan on what I will do and how I will follow the left-wing roots of this party. I have shouted my plans over and over however, I am only winning by a small margin. No other candidate has stated a claim yet. I have stated a claim, many claims in fact. I have experience with working with elite SFP members including Phoenix Quinn and Lysander Spooner II who is now gone. I am not pleased with these results. Although I respect the candidates and believe everyone should have a fair vote, I haven't heard from any one of them while some don't even have press directors. Vote for me if you want something done and want to hear something. I am an amateur rapper so I will say this:
I am the man with the plan empower masses through knowledge, someday I will be my own college.
I wish the other candidates good luck, however, get something out of them.
Aside from back when G. Pumpkinette was taking me down a peg, I think this is this first time anyone has said I was "elite".
Do I get a medal or something?
I think jmaj will be a good PP, though I also like Dylan's fiery redder-than-redness & hope whoever wins that theses two revolutionaries will join forces to give the Man hell.

Amazon is pushing back against an Arkansas prosecutor's demand for information from a murder suspect's Echo smart speaker, setting up another legal battle over investigators' quest for technology-based evidence and American privacy rights.The Amazon Echo entered the November 2015 murder case because someone present on the night of Collins' death allegedly recalled hearing music streaming through the device that evening.
Bates had invited two friends -- one of them former Georgia police officer Victor Collins, 47 -- over to his Bentonville home, where they watched college football, drank beer and shot vodka, according to the search warrant affidavit filed in Benton County Circuit Court. The men decided to get into Bates' hot tub and Bates said he went to bed around 1 a.m. When he awoke in the morning, Collins was floating face-down in the hot tub, the affidavit says.Do you think Amazon should turn over anything they have from that echo? Is it over reach, since the police don't know that they might find (but are hopeful)?Investigators have routinely obtained warrants for suspects' phones, computers, even their blood, he said, so "there's not a rational or legal reason that we shouldn't be able to search that device."
Amazon disagrees.
"Amazon will not release customer information without a valid and binding legal demand properly served on us," it said in a statement. "Amazon objects to overbroad or otherwise inappropriate demands as a matter of course."

It has its moments.
I still enjoy this one. It has some humour but also is pretty sad. A few moments that tug at the old heart strings.
"Who Killed the Electric Car"
I found it interesting although I wonder how much manipulation was involved in its telling of 'facts'?
I did find it interesting the cars were destroyed rather than sold 'as-is' when they decided not to allow renewals of the leases.

The Savages - 9/10
I think Philip Seymour Hoffman ranks behind only behind Bogey, Paul Newman, Morgan Freeman, Vince Vaughn, Jack, Bobby De Niro, Paul Rudd, Ben Kingsley, Bruce Willis, Robert Redford, Sam Jack and Tim Robbins on my favorite actors list.
He's certainly borderline Top 10 depending on the day.
I heard about what happens at the end. Kind of surprising.
Along that same vein, I've been meaning to rewatch Happiness by Todd Solonz. Have you seen it? Another movie with a pretty well thought out look into the mind of a pedophile.
I worship Seymour Hoffman. I think he has more acting range than ANYONE in Hollywood right now. I've liked some Bruce Willis stuff, but I think he is so overrated, sometimes I have a problem watching him.
Vince Vaughn drives me insane. I want him to be in something really good again. I'd like to see him take a career path similar to what Bill Murray has done of late.

Hey! What're you kicking me for? You want me to ask? All right, I'll ask! Ma'am, where do the high school girls hang out in this town?
Still very funny and great.
Talladega Nights
Another good Ferrell movie. Not in my list of favourite Ferrell movies but I enjoy it nonetheless.
There Will Be Blood
I loved it. Great, great storytelling. Sad and ironic - enjoyed it thoroughly.
More of an idol than a "favorite actor," but yeah.Rudd? Really? Huh.
I certainly don't think he's a good actor, I just really like the way he plays Bruce Willis so well in every movie. Probably the coolest dude in America.I've liked some Bruce Willis stuff, but I think he is so overrated, sometimes I have a problem watching him.
My complete and unwavering love of Vince became undeniable at the point when his sheer comedic brilliance tricked me into watching -- and thoroughly enjoying -- The Breakup at least six times. Just saw Made for the first time in years last week, too, and, yeah, he's a genius.Vince Vaughn drives me insane. I want him to be in something really good again. I'd like to see him take a career path similar to what Bill Murray has done of late.

Bolt in Disney Digital 3-D
It was a kid's flick, OK premise, you'll like it if you like dogs, but...
The 3-D effects were astounding.
Watched Hellboy 2 the other day - was better than I expected. A bit more plot and texture. Not bad.

How so, I haven't seen it yet, but it looks interesting.
Well, a lot of people love it, so you'll probably disagree w/ me. But for me it suffered from really bad writing, structurally. A lot of things are just thrown in haphazardly in order to develop a theme that comes off hackneyed and trite. (They try to send this "live your life" message despite the fact that nothing in the movie [plot, character] was about that.) It's like the writer said to himself, "Okay, if we just spend 15 minutes on this thing, that'll totally set the theme/mood! We won't even have to make it relevant to the story!" Also, it suffered from the same problem as Marley and Me, in that the movie comes off as one extended highlight reel of one person's life with no extended scenes or fully-plumbed drama, but rather 10-minute scene after 10-minute scene that does nothing but show the next thing that happened in this person's life. (Where's the conflict, the point? Why does this just feel like a biography? Although BB didn't miss the mark here quite as much as MM.)
BTW, UB, I know what you mean. I really wanted to love this movie; it looked great. I had even hyped it up to all my friends/family. Yeargh.
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
Thanks - I might wait for the DVD
Thank You, Mr. President
Interesting little flick on Helen Thomas.
Watched Open Window. For me this movies had "almost" written all over it. There was almost enough tension, it almost moved fast enough (it was never going to move fast, not that kind of story but it was downright somnolescent at times) and I liked using therapists to reveal what the couple couldn't tell each other. But it just missed for me for some reason - couldn't tell you why. I had empathy for the characters and everything. Maybe I was in the wrong mood for it or something. The cornball ending didn't help either.
Dunno why I didn't like it - script seemed solid, acting was good, can't point at anything in direction. Just wasn't quite compelling enough or something. It was almost good.

State of Grace - 8/10
I'd never even heard of this until it came on IFC today. It's about an Irish crime family in Hell's Kitchen, New York, and features some stellar performance from Sean Penn, Ed Harris and, particularly, Gary Oldman, whose character here might now be my favorite of his aside from Drexl Spivey in True Romance. It has a lot of the common gangster flick themes going on, but is really just a very solid film all-around. Maybe I'm out of the loop and just hadn't heard about it, but I'm surprised it doesn't get more play -- especially from the Boondock Saints and The Departed fans. Must have just fell through the cracks, I guess. Either way, just an all-star cast who are firing on all cylinders along with an intriguing story. Great ending, too. Meanwhile, I forgot how much of a fox Robin Wright Penn is. I'm thinking this film is where they met.
Bottle Rocket - 8/10
Still my favorite Wes Anderson joint.
She's badass.
She's awesome. I also just finished watching A Bee Movie. I saw it in theatres to begin with but enjoyed it just as much the second time around.

A group of Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka led a crowd that demolished a Muslim shrine last week, the BBC has learned.
This incident took place on Saturday in Anuradhapura, an ancient Buddhist city and Unesco world heritage site.
The monk who led the group told the BBC he did it because the shrine was on land that was given to Sinhalese Buddhists 2,000 years ago.
But a prominent Muslim in the area said he was very sad and the sentiment was shared by many Sinhalese too.
A Sri Lankan news website showed photographs of a crowd including monks apparently reducing a small structure to a pile of rubble.
The mob waved Buddhist flags and – in one picture – burnt a green Muslim flag.
There have been no other reports of what happened.
But the BBC has spoken to the monk, Amatha Dhamma Thero, who admits masterminding the demolition of the Muslim shrine.
He said he arranged a gathering of 100 or so monks, including some from other Asian countries, to take action because – he alleged – local Muslims were trying to convert the shrine into a mosque despite new constructions being illegal on this site with its many Buddhist temples.
He said local government officials arrived and said they would remove the shrine within three days, but the crowd said "we cannot wait" and proceeded to tear down the structure.
The demolition has been denounced by a local senior Muslim and a local Sinhalese politician.
The Muslim, Abdul Razack, denied that a mosque was planned and said the demolished shrine was about 300 years old and had attracted visitors of other faiths too.
He said local Muslims and Buddhists alike were concerned at what happened but Muslims had avoided the site on Saturday, fearing sectarian disharmony.
The politician, Aruna Dissanayake, said the government should act against those who had attacked the shrine.
A minority was trying to create sectarian problems in a place where most Muslims and Sinhalese Buddhists co-existed well, he added.
Most of Sri Lanka's majority Sinhalese are Buddhist, and Muslims are regarded as a separate ethnic group.
In a recent newspaper column, a veteran Muslim journalist said there was a growing fear among his community that some people were running a campaign to incite the Sinhalese against them, including through Sinhalese websites and print media courtesy: BBC

My website is: http://www.kwpwebdesign.se
So basically this website contains of 5 html files, what I want is I only want the homepage to show on google (and other searchengines). The other as contact.html, should not be shown up on google.
So what I want to show up on google when someone searches for "kwpwebdesign" is my Homepage only, the 4 others, should not show up.
I've seen much about metatags and stuff, but I really cant figure out what I gonna write on each of those 4 sites wich I dosent want to show up.
So if anyone could write it here for me I would be very happy.
I don't think this is a good idea at all. Let people fine you any way they can!
But anywa, you can ask search engines not to crawl any pages you like. As I understand it, the best was is via a robots.txt page.
So, in your root folder, create a file called robots.txt (a plain text file) and put something like this inside it:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /page1.html
Disallow: /folder/page2.html
Disallow: /page3.html
... and so on.
yes I agree with ralph.m .. its not very good idea to stop crawling other pages. you can use robots.txt which ralph.m explained. Again, according to me its not powerful method because sometime search engine can crawl your robots.txt pages.
I suggest you take a look at the following..
To index the page and follow all links:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="INDEX,FOLLOW">To index the page but not follow all links:
To not index the page but follow all links:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX,FOLLOW">To not index the page and not follow all links:
for more info I got it from <snip>link deleted</snip>
Do not worry about it. Google will show only your homepage when people search for kwpwebdesign. Google mostly shows just one page per site in top 10 ranking/a single page. Let all the pages be indexed. Also make sure that all pages have different title.
Robots.txt is the best method to do this.
I disagree. There are often valid reasons for not wanting a particular page to show in search results. For example, you might have a contacts page with your phone number on it. You want the people who have found your site to see the phone number, but you might not want people to do a reverse search on it. So you would exclude it from the search results.
That said, you should only exclude pages in special cases, and do so sparingly. If you're reason for wanting to exclude your subsidiary pages is simply to force your visitors to arrive at your home page, then maybe you need to re-think your site, so as to make the subsidiary pages equally useful as landing pages.

but why u wanna hide . quite strange man. but if u wanna as ralph.m make a robot file to tell crawler what to crawl what to not
Sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but without a lot of blackhat, your site is nevergoing to rank in the top 100 unless you bring in a lot changes in structure and content.Google's aim is to return to the searcher those websites that have useful and unique information. In Google terms, your site has none.If ranking well is important to you, you should start learning about seo or pay somebody to do it for you.
The magic of metatags has long been gone. They still count to some degree amongst the more than 500 factors Google take into account, but all the fiddling with tags won't get your site in the first 100 returns in your content isn't very good for a popular subject.
If your website is newly designed and totally new for Google search engine. You need to be add Google webmaster code in your website so getting total information of your website if any error on your site, plus follow the Google algorithm for link building.
I'll suggest you to block only the contact us page with robots.txt. Another 3 pages are necessary for your site.
Also suggest you to add a sitemap on your site asap.

1.In his introduction, Waldo Martin emphasizes that the NAACP litigation
was only one component of a larger freedom movement. What does he mean
by this? Why does it matter?
2.What is the difference between Brown I and Brown II?
Waldo Martin suggests that Brown II did not live up to the promise
of Brown I. Do you agree that Brown II was inadequate?
Why or why not?
3.What is sociological jurisprudence? What role did it play in the Brown
4.Waldo Martin concludes that there was an enormous gap between "Brown's
promise of equal opportunity and the post-Brown reality of unequal
opportunity for blacks" (p. 35). Explain.
5.Martin quotes a series of questions formulated by legal historian Morton
Horwitz on p. 35. After you have completed all of the reading, go back
and try to answer them.
Plessy v. Ferguson, majority opinion
1. Plessy concluded that segregation did not violate either the
13th Amendment (ending slavery) or the 14th Amendment (guaranteeing due
process and equal protection). Explain the logic of this conclusion.
2.Why did the authors of this opinion believe that state laws requiring
segregation were "reasonable" (p. 80)?
3.The opinion pointed out the error of assuming that racial integration
alone could produce racial equality. Do you agree? Compare this view of
integration with the one expressed in Zora Neale Hurston's letter
to the Orlando Sentinel, on p. 209.
Plessy v. Ferguson, dissenting opinion by John Harlan
1. Justice Harlan pointed out that the Constitution was color-blind and
that the majority opinion misinterpreted the true meaning of constitutional
equality. Yet he also insisted that integrated public transportation would
not encourage the social equality between blacks and whites that was feared
by so many white Americans. Are these consistent or contradictory views?
Appellants' Brief and Appellees' Brief
1. Compare the views of the 14th Amendment articulated in each of these
documents. What are their strengths and weaknesses? Which is more persuasive?
"The Effects of Segregation and the Consequences
of Desegregation"
1.This brief attempted to summarize what contemporary social scientists
knew about segregation and desegregation.
a. What was the gist of the social science contribution?
b. Why do you think that introducing this type of evidence was (and is)
considered so controversial?
c. Are you persuaded by this social science statement? Why or why not?
d. If you were a Supreme Court Justice, how would you respond to social
scientific argumentation? Why might you welcome it? What concerns might
you have about it?
2. The brief pointed out that segregation had a powerful impact on the
personalities of both minority and majority group children. How were children
in each group effected? Why do you think the Brown decision concentrated
exclusively on the difference that segregation made for African-American
children? Why did it fail to mention the impact of segregation on white
3.Years after Brown, studies showed that the self-image of African-American
schoolchildren in Northern schools was no better (and may actually have
been worse) than that of African-American schoolchildren in the South.
Does this finding undermine the logic of Brown? Why or why not?
4.The brief concludes that even if identical facilities and funding were
provided for black and white children in separate schools, equality would
not be possible. Why not?
5.Why did the authors point out that desegregation in the armed services
had taken place "without major incidents" (p. 149)?
Brown v. Board of Education
1.After an initial round of arguments in 1952, the Supreme Court requested
reargument on the question of what the architects of the 14th Amendment
intended when they adopted it in 1868. Why do you think they wanted to
know more about this? Why, in the end, did the Supreme Court conclude
that "it is not enough to resolve the problem with which we are
faced" (p. 170)?
2. The opinion explains why it matters that the legal challenge to segregation
occurred in the sphere of education. Why did it matter? Do you think the
Supreme Court would have responded differently to a lawsuit involving
public accommodations or public transportation in 1954?
3. The Loving decision in 1967 declared that state laws prohibiting
inter-racial marriage were unconstitutional. Why do you think the civil
rights revolution came so much later to marriage than to school? Do you
think that the members of the Supreme Court worried at all in 1954 about
what their decision about schools might mean for family life? Do you think
they have anything to do with each other?
4.Brown concluded that "separate educational facilities
are inherently unequal" (p. 174). What evidence does the opinion
cite as the basis for such a claim?
Ruling on Relief
1. Why did the Supreme Court send the cases back to lower courts and charge
them with overseeing the implementation of school desegregation?
2. What do you think the Supreme Court had in mind when it ordered school
integration to proceed "with all deliberate speed" ( p. 198)?
What do you think might have happened if the Supreme Court had set a specific
target date instead? Was the Ruling on Relief an act of sensible diplomacy
on the part of the Court, or an evasion of responsibility?
Lillian Smith letter
1.Lillian Smith was a well-known white Southern liberal. Why did she greet
Brown as "the most powerful political instrument against
communism that the United States has as yet devised" (p. 208)?
2. Why did she suggest that Brown was a landmark ruling for
all children, and not only African-American children? What other children
did she believe would benefit? Can you think of others?
Zora Neale Hurston letter
1. Why does Hurston believe that self-respect was sacrificed by Brown
and that the decision insulted rather than honored African Americans?
2. Why was Hurston so skeptical about integration as a civil rights goal?
3. What does she mean by the doctrine of the white mare?
4. Hurston hypothesizes that Brown was a trial balloon. For
5. "It is a contradiction in terms to scream race pride and equality
while at the same time spurning Negro teachers and self-association"
(p. 212). Do you agree with her? Why or why not?
The Southern Manifesto
1. The signers condemned Brown as "a clear abuse of judicial
power" (p. 220). What did they mean by this? Why did they believe
the decision was unconstitutional?
2. Why are separate but equal schools consistent with "elementary
humanity and commonsense" (p. 221), according to the authors? Why
do they blame Brown for usurping the basic rights of parents?
Do you agree that parents' rights were violated? Are there times
when courts are entitled to limit parental power? Was this one of them?
3. This document predicted that Brown would create dangerous
new racial hatreds and animosities. Did it? Do you think the possibility
of racial tension and violence was something the Supreme Court considered?
4. The significance of "rights reserved to the States" (p.
221) is central to the critique of Brown articulated in this
document. What do you think of the argument that school integration was
imposed on the South by "outside meddlers" and troublemakers
who bypassed the consent of the governed?
5. The Manifesto pledges to "resist forced integration by any lawful
means" (p. 221). It this similar to the strategy of non-violent
civil disobedience employed by civil rights movement? Why or why not?
"Forty Years and Still Struggling"
1. Why did the New York Times declare the 40th anniversary of Brown
"an occasion both for national pride and national shame" (p.
1. Does the history of Brown suggest that the post-WWII civil
rights movement was a success? A failure? A little of both? What kind
of evidence do you think is most persuasive in assessing the legacy of
2. Waldo Martin suggests that one problem with Brown's
legacy is that no national consensus existed about the sort of integrated
society that would sustain integrated schools. Do you agree? Do you think
the Supreme Court could have done anything about this or not?
3. What is the difference between de jure and de facto segregation?
Why do many activists believe that eradicating the first is not an adequate
civil rights goal? How does the history of school desegregation illustrate
their point?
4. Do you think racial integration in education can really work without
racial integration in housing and employment? Do you think the Supreme
Court has the same authority over housing and employment? Why or why not?
5. Waldo Martin suggests that the Supreme Court has, since 1970, represented
a "white counterinsurgency" (p. 233). What does this mean?
Do you think a significant number of white Americans wish to halt the
progress of the civil rights movement?
6. Do you agree with Martin that questions of economic and social justice
have been replaced on the national agenda in recent decades by the concerns
of business? Why does this matter for the history of Brown?
7. What factors do you think will be most likely to shape patterns of
educational integration and segregation in the future?

TPWD News Release — Oct. 30, 2006
AUSTIN — Lake Texoma narrowly avoided the introduction of zebra mussels the week of October 10 thanks to the efforts of employees of Highport Marina in Pottsboro.
Service technician Tim Ray was inspecting a boat that had just arrived from Wisconsin when he noticed clusters of mussels attached to the trim tabs and outdrive of the 27-foot power boat.
"There were probably a thousand or so of them," Ray said. "They were hard to see, because the boat had not been washed and they had slime covering them. I picked one off and cleaned it up, saw stripes on it and figured it was a zebra mussel. I'd seen warnings about them, and figured I might see some one day."
Ray looked up information on zebra mussels on the Internet and confirmed his suspicions. "I showed one to the service manager and said we needed to call someone."
The service manager placed a call to Grayson County game warden Dale Moses, who inspected the boat with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Inland Fisheries biologist Bruce Hysmith. The two positively identified the shellfish as zebra mussels.
The boat was immediately quarantined indoors with a tarpaulin beneath it to prevent any mussels from reaching the water.
Moses contacted the owner of the boat, who had recently moved to Texas, and informed him of the situation. The owner agreed to follow TPWD's instructions for decontaminating the boat and was issued a warning citation for possession of a prohibited exotic species.
"Mr. Ray is to be commended for being aware of what zebra mussels are and for stopping the process of putting the boat into the water," said Moses. "Most people in his position would probably not have noticed or cared enough to stop and identify them, and would have launched the boat."
Zebra mussels are about 5/8-inch long and are named for the striped pattern of their shells, though the stripes may sometimes be absent. Native to the Black, Caspian and Azov seas of Asia, zebra mussels spread across Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries as canals were built. They were first discovered in North America in 1988 on the Great Lakes and have since spread to more than 20 states in the Mississippi River basin.
Zebra mussels have been reported to be one of the most important biological invasions into North America, and there has been tremendous effort to halt their spread to the Southern states.
Overland dispersal via boats being trailered from one body to another is known to have occurred. Under cool, humid conditions, zebra mussels can survive for several days out of water.
Zebra mussels are notorious for fouling the water supply pipes of power plants, water supply plants and industrial facilities. As many as 700,000 zebra mussels per square meter have been observed at a Michigan power plant. Such large concentrations of mussels restrict water flow, reducing intake. Zebra mussels on boats increase drag and can get into engine cooling systems and cause overheating. Zebra mussels attached to metal or concrete structures can cause corrosion and affect structural integrity. The mussels feed on the tiny organisms that form the base of the food chain for fish and may negatively impact a number of aquatic species.

Are you sure the tests were identical other than the trigger function language?

New rows are available in INSERT and UPDATE triggers; old rows are available in UPDATE and DELETE triggers. This behavior should be the same in all languages; if you have an example that shows otherwise then please post it. > Whatever the reality, the doc should be fixed to explain exactly > when {old} and {new} exist and their semantics. "A patch would be welcome" :-) The PL/Perl documentation doesn't describe the semantics but the "Triggers" chapter does. If you've found a discrepancy between documentation and behavior then please post a self-contained test case. -- Michael Fuhr

Churning Milk in Nepal
The village of Kaskikot looks out over the Himalayan mountains in Nepal. The people there live off subsistence rice farming, and milk provides a critical source of nutrients. But not the way you're used to drinking it. For the last six years, reporter Laura Spero made regular visits to Kaskikot. And while she's there, she lives with a woman she calls Aamaa, or mother. For the World Vision Report, they'll both explain how to churn fermented milk.

New FlexPod Solution Addresses Big Data Needs
As a FlexPod Premium Partner, we pay close attention to updates from NetApp and Cisco, and they just made an exciting announcement. To begin, they added FlexPod Select, which they built for data-intensive workloads (think big data). They also updated some of their branding. ExpressPod is now called FlexPod Express, and it targets midsized businesses and organizations with branch offices. Their enterprise data center solution, previously called FlexPod, is now called FlexPod Data Center.
The FlexPod solution utilizes the leading technologies from NetApp and Cisco to form a prevalidated, fully tested architecture solution that allows you to move your data center to the cloud.
FlexPod Select is designed for dedicated, high-performance workloads such as Big Data, HPC, and video analytics. FlexPod Select with Hadoop is the first set of reference designs in the FlexPod Select family. These preconfigured, validated solutions combine storage, networking, and servers—all integrated with Hadoop to create a state-of-the-art architecture that accelerates time to value, reduces risk in deploying Hadoop, and yields insights faster.
From the NetApp press release:
FlexPod Select with Hadoop includes two validated configurations: FlexPod Select with Cloudera's Distribution including Apache Hadoop (CDH) and FlexPod Select with Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP). Both configurations enable the accelerated deployment of a highly available, enterprise-class Hadoop environment on the FlexPod Select architecture.
FlexPod Select is the first family in the FlexPod portfolio to address targeted workloads, such as high-performance applications. Initially, the new category will target data-intensive requirements of Hadoop based big data applications in financial services, government, retail manufacturing, and other markets. Organizations will be able to deploy FlexPod Select easily and to scale seamlessly as application requirements grow.
The FlexPod solutions allow you to move your data center to the cloud with a prevalidated, fully-tested architecture solution that utilizes leading technologies.

Steamed Prawns with Kaffir Lime & Lemongrass (Guest Post)
Steamed Prawns with Kaffir Lime Leaves & Lemongrass. Check out the recipe at Pig Pig's Corner.
I'm really happy when Ann of Pig Pig's Corner invited me to guest post on her site. I've been reading Ann's blog for some time, and she never fails to amaze me with the gourmet and restaurant-quality foods she whips up in her kitchen. Thank you Ann, for inviting me to guest post!
The recipe I made for her is steamed prawns with kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass. Most of us are familiar with the use of ginger when steaming seafood for adding aroma and removing any fishy smell, but the use of kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass can do the trick too. Check out the full recipe at Ann's blog. Remember to check out the rest of her site at the same time – besides wonderful recipes, she and her husband also blog about food in London (where they are based) and their travels. Hope to see you there!

In any negotiation, knowing all you can about who is on the other side of the table can give you the upper hand. If you're negotiating an online media buy with a publisher, there's a lot you should know before coming to the table. What strategies can you employ to find out this information and bring home the best buys for your clients?
There are a lot, in fact. Here are several things to look at before you begin discussions with a publisher.
Unsold inventory. To media buyers, unsold inventory means there may be a lot of room for negotiation. But don't assume all publishers see their unsold inventory in the same way. Some won't budge on rates even if they have unsold inventory because they're afraid to seem like they're devaluing their own inventory. Those might have larger deals pending, have a distorted view of what their competition is doing, or just think highly of their site.
Fortunately, there are others who look at unsold inventory and think, "Time to discount." These sites – and they're in the majority – don't have the luxury of turning away advertisers that don't pay their open rates.
AdRelevance tracks online advertising and can give you a glimpse into how much unsold inventory a site has. I can see the value of publishers tooting their own horn on their site, especially if they have a lot of new initiatives and service offerings. However, if a site is doing more in-house advertising than outside advertising, that should raise a flag. But look a little further. If all of its ads are in-house ads, it may not accept outside advertising, or it may be new to the ad business.
The publisher's revenue model. Is the publisher's business built on advertising sales? Is it built on subscriptions? Business exchanges? A combination of these? If the majority of its revenue comes from ad sales, you better believe that there is plenty of room for negotiation. Any unsold inventory is wasted revenue down the drain.
The publisher's competitors. There is nothing like old-fashioned competition to help you get what you want out of your media buy. Don't be afraid to let the publisher rep know where his site stands against the competition. This can often work to your advantage. Losing a buy is bad enough, but losing a buy to one of your biggest competitors hurts even worse.
Use of advertising auctions. Sites that use ad auctions are predisposed to get rid of unsold inventory at low rates and are more willing to negotiate with you from the start.
Network versus publisher. There are times when a publisher can sell cheaper than the network and other times a network can sell cheaper than the publisher. A network representative recently called me and mentioned that she represented several high-profile sites at lower-than-normal rates. When I inquired which sites these were, the rep would not mention the publishers. That was a rather interesting call that I won't be following up. The rep was trying to save the integrity of the "high-profile" publishers, but she must not have really wanted to sell me advertising because there was no way I'd buy a network without knowing which sites I was running on.
How long has the publisher been accepting advertising? In the early days of the Internet, we often pioneered advertising on sites that hadn't previously accepted advertising. There are still sites out there that do not accept advertising (we ran into one two months ago). If they reach your target audience, it doesn't hurt to ask if they will sell you advertising. This is an ideal position to be in as an advertiser. Publishers are often open to your suggestions on what might work for your client and what will work for the site. Additionally, the price is usually right, but it may take a little longer to set up, sometimes as much as a month or two. If the site fits, it is often worth the wait and the headache.
How much money does the publisher spend marketing the site? Often the sites with big marketing budgets are more expensive. We have found that the best ROIs come from the lower-tiered sites (lesser-known sites with smaller marketing budgets). Break sites down into A-, B-, and C-tier sites, and strive to have a good mix of each when your media objectives are dual marketing (branding and direct response). A-tier sites play a role in media plans when clients need visibility in the market and can look like they walk the walk. A-tier sites help build the brand and increase visibility. Focus on the B- and the C-tier sites if your media objective is strictly direct marketing the ROI is usually better because you can negotiate a lower cost and reach your target just as well. Beware of large ad agencies that don't go beyond recommending A-tier sites. Most large agencies don't have the time, the manpower, or the desire to recommend beyond the obvious.
Be aware of how much or how little a publisher values its audience. Look at where the publisher is advertising and how much money it is spending to get people to the site. We once did the media planning and buying for an online publisher whose sole focus was to drive traffic to its site because its revenue model was ad based. We could have easily driven gobs of traffic to the site by negotiating cheap cost-per-click deals, thereby sacrificing the integrity of its audience.
The question of the quality of the audience versus the quantity of the audience is a difficult issue to balance. The results of our advertising efforts for this particular publisher weren't surprising. Although recruiting quality traffic was more expensive up-front, it turned out to be just as cost-effective as getting "quantities" of people. You can negotiate cheaper rates from publishers that don't necessarily value the integrity of their audience, but be aware of the audience composition. By getting the cheaper rate you may be sacrificing the integrity of your buy. Make sure the site's demographic research is up to date.
Is the publisher a privately owned company or a public company? There are several ways to view this. If a company is privately owned, there won't be a board of directors or investors to please; such a company may not work as hard for your business. On the other hand, if the privately owned company is in the midst of seeking funding, it may be more willing to work with you so it can please its VCs or private investors. We have gotten some excellent deals from large networks before they went public, just so their numbers would look appealing. A public company has to show earnings on a quarterly basis. Depending on how deals are going for the quarter, you may have a lot of leverage, especially if it is close to the end of the quarter.
Back-end metrics and renegotiation. We can tell within two weeks whether a site should continue to be on the buy or not. If a site is on the border, its ROI is a little high. Go back to the site and renegotiate the buy. When given the option of continuing at a lower rate or being taken off the buy, publishers are usually willing to lower rates to stay on the buy. When you have the back-end metrics, this is often convincing evidence to publishers. However, I have bumped into A-tier sites that would not budge from the original negotiated rate. The beauty of online advertising is that there is always someone else that is willing to work within your parameters.

How to set up the Nsure Audit MySQL Channel
(Last modified: 15Nov2004)
This document (10091164) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.
How to set up the Nsure Audit MySQL Channel
Novell Nsure Audit 1.0
Novell Nsure Audit 1.0.1
This procedure can be done from WebAdmin:
- Go to the Logging Services Container, and create a new object, for object type select Nsure Audit MySQL Channel.
- When prompted for the name, provide the name, and continue.
- When the object details screen appears, the configuration should be displayed, all values will be blank.
- Under the Host Section, fill in the following values: Host should be the IP address of the MYSQL server, OR localhost is the MySQL database is running on the same server as the SLS; User should be populated with the username supplied during the account configuration (click here for MySQL server configuration instructions); Password should contain the password created during the user account creation.
- In the Database section, the following values should be provided: Name is the name of the database created to store Nsure Audit records (example naudit); Table can be any value, most configurations will use the name 'log'.
- Refer to the Nsure Audit Documentation for the Advanced Options.
- If you want to use the MySQL channel as the primary log channel for the Secure Logging Server, you need to make this change on the SERVERNAME Logging Server object in the Logging Services container. The Log Channel needs to point to the MySQL channel, and not the file channel. Without specifying the MySQL channel as the log channel on the SLS, or creating a Notification object to send data to the MySQL channel, the MySQL channel will not receive any information.
This procedure can also be done from iManager:
In iManager, expand the Nsure Audit task, and select Server Configuration.
Click on the channels tab.
Click the check box next to the Channels container, and then click New.
Create a channel of type MySQL. Any name will be fine.
When returned to the channels container screen, click the check box next to the MySQL channel under the channels container, and then click edit.
When the edit MySQL channel screen appears, fill in the following information. ALL FIELDS ARE CASE SENSITIVE!
Host: IP address of the server running MySQL.
If MySQL is installed on the same server as the logging server, and the account created to access the Nsure Audit databse is auditusr@'%', then this should be the logging servers IP address.
User: auditusr
Password: Password for auditusr@'%'
Database: naudit
Table: log
Advanced Create Table Options: Blank
SQL Expiration Commands:
create table newtable ($T) $e;RENAME TABLE $l TO l$n, newtable TO $l
This script does the following:
Creates a new table using the CREATE TABLE Options.
Renames the current table so it includes the date and time in decimal.
Renames the new table with the default table name.
Expire at time or interval: Mondays
This means that the expiration script will run at every Monday at Midnight.
Click apply, then close.
Click on the General Tab (general tab of Logging Server object)
In the Log Channel Field, use the magnifying glass to browse for the MySQL channel that was just created (example, mysql.Channels.Logging Services) - This tells the logging server to send all data to the MySQL channel.
Click Apply to save the changes.
Test the configuration:
From the server console load lengine -d.
If the Nsure Audit 1.0.1 console loads, then everything is configured correctly. If it does not load, check the Logger Screen on the Netware Server for error messages. Double check your accounts created for MySQL. Was the user created auditusr@'%' or was it auditusr@localhost? Does case match for the username and password. Is MySQL loaded? If you created auditusr@localhost but not auditusr@'%', then it is necessary to change the address on the MySQL channel to be 127.0.0.1. Based on the experiences from Technical Support, it is best to use auditusr@'%'.
If everything is configured correctly, continue the installation process..

Rosie to the Rescue!: Time Outs, Two Ways
In case you missed it, here is a recent post from "Rosie to the Rescue", my blog for Parents Magazine, where I give you my alternatives to the traditional time out. Don't miss the rest of the "Rosie to the Rescue" posts, available here.
As parents, we have a tendency to be insecure about our discipline tactics, and quite frankly, I think this is a good thing. Being strict with a person we love so incredibly is a stressful thing to do, but children need to learn right from wrong. They need to understand boundaries and the consequences of making bad choices, but as new information comes out over time, we have learned that the ways we once used to teach these lessons are either harmful or totally not helpful.
Lately, my focus has been on time outs. Time outs were once a safe punishment option for parents in which they didn't physically hurt their child and both parties got to take a break from a heated moment, but now experts are saying this technique may lose its effectiveness because parents aren't using it correctly. Do you remember being sent to your room as a child, lying on your bed reflecting about what you did wrong? Or do you remember lying there devising grand plans to find your real parents because these couldn't possibly be them?! (If you're anything like me, the latter is likely true.) This is one of the many reasons time outs don't really work, and, if you ask me, there are two better discipline solutions:
Give yourself a time out if necessary. Sometimes we get so mad it's hard to see straight, let alone discipline in mobile casino a rational way. It's quite alright to give yourself a moment to take a deep breath and think before you act—and this is far better than making a mistake or doing something you'll later regret. Besides, it will help teach your children to think before they act in the heat of the moment. Remember this the
Do time outs together. Take your child away from the situation and to a quiet place. Have them look you in the eye, while you explain to them what happened and why it's not okay. It isn't easy to have this type of confrontation with your child, but it makes them hear you out and focus on what just happened—and not on finding new parents! When the chat is done, move on and don't hold a grudge for the rest of the day. Being the "naughty" kid can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, so move on to something fun. This will help teach them the power of being able to move forward after a not-so-good experience or choice.next time a little mitten slaps you around the face or draws on the wall, again!
Consistency is key. Always have your children acknowledge that they understand, or give them the opportunity to ask you questions if they don't. As the mom of four, I've used this technique with my own little wall writers and arm biters. And I promise, it works!

Updated 7/24
WASHINGTON More than 250 people in at least six states have come down with a stomach bug that could be linked to foodborne illness.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the cyclospora infection causing diarrhea and other flu-like symptoms has been reported in Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, Wisconsin, Georgia and Connecticut. The CDC said 10 people have been hospitalized and most of the reported illnesses occurred from mid-June to early July.
The Food and Drug Administration is investigating the cyclospora infections, which are most often found in tropical or subtropical countries and have been linked to imported fresh produce in the past.
The illness is usually spread when people ingest foods or water contaminated with feces. The agency said it isn't yet clear whether the cases from all of the states are linked.
The number of reported illnesses expanded from more than 200 to more than 250 on Tuesday, according to the CDC. At press time more than 275 people had taken ill. The CDC added Georgia, Connecticut and New Jersey to the list of affected states.
The agency said it is investigating additional illnesses and the number of those sickened could grow.
