Northern Ireland's netball team finished their first Commonwealth Games in seventh place, rounding off a successful tournament by beating Wales 58-36, a result that meant they exceeded their pre-Games target of eighth.
A delighted Lisa Somerville said afterwards: "We are absolutely over the moon, we are delighted. We came here with the expectation of eighth and we wanted seventh.
"We got a good start, maintained it, built it throughout the game and just finished off on a high. It was brilliant.
"We had a point to prove and on this the highest stage for netball this was the time to do it."
Northern Ireland recovered after losing their first three games to tough opposition in the shape of Malawi, Jamaica and New Zealand but finished with group victories over St Lucia and Scotland before the win over Wales.
"The first three games were hard. We still went out with the mentality of playing a good game even though we knew the result might not have been in our favour," added Somerville.
"So it was a good opportunity to use everybody, and work out some strategies for the last two group games and then the game against the Welsh."

Every child knows the story of David and Goliath, even if they have never attended church. Everyone loves that story! What's not to love about it? It's appealing to most of us, I believe, because it's a story of the "little guy beating the big guy," it's the story of the "least of us" standing up to and defeating the "high and mighty."
We all love to see the underdog winning against the top dog, and that's what is so appealing to us.
MG church to host two free meals
Two complimentary evening meals are being planned for the community of Mulberry Grove.
This Thursday, First Church of Christ will be hosting a spaghetti and salad supper open to all children or adults who would like to attend.
Then on Thursday, July 28, First Church of Christ will be hosting a fried chicken supper with trimmings at the church building. This meal is also open to all adults or children who would like to attend.
It has been said, "Time Marches On." You can stop a clock, but you can't stop time. It continues to march on without regard to our own time requirements.
First United Methodist Church in Vandalia is selling cookbooks that feature recipes collected from members and friends of the church.
The cost is $15 per book, with proceeds applied to the church's camping scholarships. The church has 23 young people sign up for church camp this year.
The congregation of St. James Lutheran Church in Vandalia recently formed a Thrivent Action Team to support the fundraising efforts of "Journey for Jordan," a group of 75 bicycle riders who ride 183 miles, from Gays in Illinois to St. Louis, Mo., in memory of Jordan Giertz, to raise funds for Haven House in St. Louis.
Holy Cross VBS is July 17-21
Holy Cross Lutheran Church, located at 726 W. Fillmore St. in Vandalia, will hold Vacation Bible School from July 17-21, 6-8 p.m. The VBS, with the theme of "Barnyard Roundup," is open to children age 3 to sixth-grade age.

The Valencia girls basketball season is officially off and running.
The Vikings kicked off their season with a 77-45 win over Oxnard at Valencia High on Tuesday on the first day of the 2009 Valencia High-Five Classic.
Led by Vikings junior wing player Lauren Spargo, and a supporting cast of eight seniors, the Vikings raced out to an 18-2 lead before Oxnard (0-1) head coach Brett Chapin called a timeout to stop the proverbial bleeding.
It didn't work.
Spargo responded with a steal off the inbounds pass and then found Lindsey Hill for a layup in transition, as the Yellowjackets had no way to stop the Vikings' athleticism or scoring.
The Vikings (1-0) built up a 41-17 halftime lead and were able to maintain it with tough defensive pressure.
"Their shooting was just on fire, and we were very cold," Chapin said. "No excuses though, they were a good team and outplayed us."
Valencia head coach Jerry Mike said with such a large amount of experience on his team, post play was really the biggest question mark for the Vikings going into the season-opener.
Valencia's Starla Wright was a senior leader who graduated after averaging 17 points and nine rebounds for the Vikings last year.
Spargo's play must have soothed some of those concerns.
Spargo put up 18 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, four steals and dished out five assists playing on the wing and helping in the post when needed.
"I think we felt a little pressure," Spargo said, talking about replacing Wright's production. "But we've got (Faith Anumba), and she's a beast down low for us. We've got a lot of good players on this team, so I don't think there's just one go-to (player)."
Anumba scored 14, grabbed five rebounds and blocked two shots for Valencia, as the Vikings were able to keep the game moving in transition according to plan.
Mike said he couldn't have been happier with his front-court play. It didn't hurt that his defense garnered 12 steals from the combined efforts of Hill, Spargo and senior Jenny Lentz.
He added that it didn't give him a chance to look too hard at his team's set offense, but the plan was to score points on the move early and often regardless.
"It's hard to call sets when you're out there and running," Mike said. "But that's what we're going to be doing a lot of this year. A lot for running and a lot of trapping and points in transition."

Easy Halloween Window Webs
Lengths of black ribbon and yarn and a little strategic weaving (if a spider can do it, surely you can, too!) are all it takes to add shadowy webs to your front windows. Dangle a couple crawling critters from the roofline to complete the creepy picture.
continue reading below
How to Make It
- For a rigid surface to lay out the web, cut out a rectangle of cardboard 4 inches larger all around than the window measurement.
- Cut a piece of blanket binding for each side of the window.
- Arrange the blanket binding pieces on the cardboard, using straight pins to hold the binding in place on the cardboard frame.
- Glue the binding edges together at the corners.
- For the spokes of the web, cut lengths of ribbon to crisscross across the frame. Insert ribbon ends into the binding openings, apply glue, and pin in place until dry.
- To create the web design, weave yarn between the ribbon spokes, gluing and pinning it to the ribbons at intersections. Let dry.
- Tack into place around the window.

Software Offers New Design And Machining Features
Related Topics:
Many users of software Version 13 will gain productivity from completely overhauled Parasolid and DWG/DXF translators. New visualization controls will improve a designer's ability to find interferences, determine manufacturability and establish product aesthetics early in the design process, the company says. In addition, a new filleting engine opens up the possibility to generate new design ideas. For machinists, the new Smoothflow technology is designed to machine cavities and pockets safely and efficiently by maintaining constant material removal during roughing. In addition to extending tool life and reducing both roughing time and machine wear and tear, this can reduce radial pressure on the spindle, enabling high feed rates without the risk of tool breakage, the company says. Motion is softly contoured, with corners and tight areas milled without full-width cuts to prevent tool and spindle overload. Programmers will have better toolpath limiting control with the use of 3D surfaces and curves to easily and quickly restrict tool paths. Improved finishing operations are possible with enhancements to the variable Z-Level operation and feature-aware enhancements added to the offset 3D operation.

Yes, you're on the right track. fetchone/many/all on a regular cursor will all pull the data on the client in a single gulp (when execute() is called). You can use a named cursor to pull the results a piece at time, at which point the methods will do what they say: fetchall will pull all together again (so you are back at square one, just worse), fetchone will pull them one at time, with minimal memory usage on the client but greater overhead (one query/result roundtrip per record). With fetchmany you can balance memory/time usage. Even better, from 2.4, if you iterate directly on the cursor (not on the list returned by fetchall), records are read cursor.itersize at time, so you have a handy syntax and optimal memory/time usage: cur = cnn.cursor('name') cur.itersize = 100 cur.execute(MEGAQUERY) for record in cur: # do stuff this will bring the records 100 at a time from the server to the client. All the details should be available on <http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/usage.html#server-side-cursors>. Cheers, -- Daniele

Arctic Cooling Duo: Alpine 7 & Freezer 7 Pro Attack Valueby Wesley Fink on January 29, 2008 2:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- Cases/Cooling/PSUs
CPU air-coolers are relatively cheap compared to other computer system components. With the top air-coolers selling in the $45 to $75 price range it is easy to forget that many buyers are really looking for that killer $15 cooler, or at least a $15 cooler that does its job without bringing too much attention to itself with overheating or a loud fan.
In the Intel cooling arena finding a good cheap cooler is particularly difficult, because the stock Intel cooler - included at no cost in Intel Retail CPU packages - is today both a very good performer and very quiet. This makes competing in the value segment particularly difficult for companies aiming at the Socket 775 market.
One company that targets this value market segment is Arctic Cooling. Arctic Cooling is a privately owned company founded in 2001. Headquarters are located in Switzerland, with offices in Hong Kong and the USA, while production is in China. The company specializes in producing thermal cooling solutions for CPUs, GPUs (video chips), and PC cases.
In the few years since its inception, the Arctic Cooling family of coolers has earned a solid reputation for good value in the cooler market. Reputation is one thing and performance is often quite another, so it is time to give that reputation a test in the harsh reality of our cooler test bed. The questions we aim to answer are:
- Does the entry Alpine 7 outperform the stock Intel cooler? This is another way of asking whether anyone should bother with the Alpine 7; if the cooler does not outperform the stock Intel unit there is no real reason to buy it.
- Are noise levels well controlled at both stock and overclocked settings?
- Does the price increase of the Freezer 7 Pro buy equivalent performance improvements? I.e., is it worth the extra cost to buy the Freezer 7 Pro over the Alpine 7?
- How do performance and noise levels compare to the best coolers tested at AnandTech?
To provide answers, we dropped the Alpine Cooler pair into our new cooling test bed.

vailr - Tuesday, January 29, 2008 - linkThe "photo gallery" from CES (Jan. 2008) included a photo of Arctic Cooling's "Freezer Xtreme". Any idea when that CPU cooler will be available?
I have a screen capture of the photo, but can't locate it on Anandtech.com for posting the link.
It's an "8-pipe cooler that only weighs 600 grams". Reply
vailr - Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - linkFound the link:
Cardio - Tuesday, January 29, 2008 - link"In fact, they are so good at stock performance that it is easy to recommend one of these coolers as a way to extend your CPU life even if you have no intention of overclocking."
Really, has anyone ever had to extend the like of a stock cpu?
I have never even seen a stock cpu that failed due to age. They last lots longer than their useful life. Reply
teohhanhui - Tuesday, January 29, 2008 - linkI've been using the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro for about half a year now. It's mostly quiet and cool, even with my Pentium D 830. Recently, the dust collecting in my Cooler Master Centurion 5 case has caused the CPU to overheat under 100% load(and that powered off the PC). Anyhow, I 'd definitely recommend it to anyone using a stock Intel HSF, especially for the extremely hot Pentium D's.
I'm glad that AnandTech finally reviewed it. Why didn't you highlight the fact that the Freezer 7 Pro beats every other coolers tested so far at AnandTech at stock speed(at both idle and load, in both aspects of temp. and noise)? Reply
Tuvoc - Tuesday, January 29, 2008 - linkAt long last you tested the Freezer 7 Pro !!
These are simply outstanding coolers for the price.
My Q6600 at 3.0GHz stays under 60C on all cores at full load per Coretemp, in total silence with fan rpm barely breaking 1,000 rpm. There is simply no need for a cooler any better for this level of CPU performance.
My QX6700 is a different story - there the Freezer 7 Pro kept the cores at a within-spec 70C but with the fan at 2,600 rpm and with associated noise. I replaced that with a Thermalright 120 Extreme, and that CPU now runs at 3.0Ghz with core temps under 60C. At least a 10 degree drop compared to the Freezer 7 Pro.
So, Freezer 7 Pro does have it's limitations, but for all but extreme overclocking, or the B3 core quads, it is all 99% of people will ever need.
Glenn - Tuesday, January 29, 2008 - linkI have a Freezer Pro over top of a E6750 at 3.3ghz. Runs very cool and quiet. I also have the alero on the vid card and use Artic fans to cool the case. Overall a very quiet system. The only noise I get is from the Earthwatts 380 power supply which is comparativly quiet to other PS's.
Interestingly, I used the Artic Freezer on my other system with a Q6600 Quad Core running at 3.4 prior to replacing it with a Tuniq Tower! I really spent the extra $ for the tuniq for nothing! Although the temps were down by about 3C across the board, it didn't allow for any higher overclock! Plus I pick up more noise to get those lower temps!
My first experience with Artic came with the imported coolers for the original Slot A K7 CPUs and I have always been impressed with their engineering and quality. The keep a very high standard and I doubt I will venture far from them in the future as long as that continues! Reply
imaheadcase - Tuesday, January 29, 2008 - linkYou should mention in article this is also good for OC. This is the cooler most get to overclock the 1.86ghz c2d over 3ghz.
Not sure why you said it was good for just stock cooling..its great for OC. Reply
Wesley Fink - Tuesday, January 29, 2008 - linkWe also tested and reported overclocking on page 8, and the coolers are fine for moderate overclocking. It is just that neither cooler comes close to the top overclockers we have tested. The Alpine 7 dissipates 90W, and the Freezer 7 Pro dissipates around 130W. The top Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme performance shows it is dissipating around 165W. Most of the top air coolers we have tested dissipate 150W or more. Reply
Polynikes - Tuesday, January 29, 2008 - linkThis is a pretty old product to be reviewing... I've had my Freezer 7 for well over a year, and I'm sure it had been around a bit before that.
That said, it is by far the best bang for the buck HSF you can get. Those giant towers may cool better, but they're huge and are hard to get in even some fairly large cases, and are much more expensive. Reply
Manch - Tuesday, January 29, 2008 - linkI have the Antec 900 case with the giganto fan up top can it be mounted to blow upwards? I wonder if the freezer pro 7 would even better? Either way Reply

Letters to the Editor for Sunday, August 19, 2007
By STARS AND STRIPES | STARS AND STRIPES Published: August 19, 2007
European and Mideast editions
(EDITOR?S NOTE: These are the letters that appeared in each edition of Stripes on this publication date. Click here to jump ahead to the Pacific edition letters)
The truth about EMDR
Steve Mraz has done a service to your readers by bringing them solid information about eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), the evidence-based treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder that has won the highest level of recommendation in the joint Department of Defense/Veterans Affairs treatment guidelines ("Seeing relief from post-traumatic stress," article, Aug. 7). EMDR is not only highly successful at reducing symptoms, it is also highly tolerable to clients when properly administered.
Unfortunately, EMDR has not always gotten the level of attention within the military that Landstuhl [Regional Medical Center in Germany] has provided, and one reason has been the erroneous belief, mentioned in the article, that EMDR is some sort of "proprietary treatment" controlled by a single company. In actuality, there are dozens of independent and competent EMDR trainers in the U.S. and around the world, as well as courses in several universities.

Yes to quota, no to amnesty
I am not against immigration. However, the author of "Benefits of immigrant labor" (letter, Aug. 14) has missed an important point — that illegal immigration is hurting the American nation.
Any nation that becomes overpopulated faces negative consequences. We cannot destroy the remaining open spaces of the U.S. with inhabitants.
Overcrowding, traffic jams, crime, unemployment and a high cost of living are all attributable to the massive population growth. From a population in 1975 of about 240 million, America's population has jumped to 300 million legals with another 10 to 30 million illegals hoping for another amnesty. And the vast majority of our population growth in this period is attributable to immigrants and their children.
Any kind of amnesty sends a message: Just come to America, hang around illegally and, in time, you will get in. I know immigrants who came legally to the States. Some have served (or are serving) in our armed forces. All of them are against illegal immigration and amnesty. Should amnesty be given, it is a slap in the face to those who waited honestly to get into the States.
While illegal immigrants do take jobs Americans avoid, studies and experience have shown that once the pay is increased and some benefits are provided, the same jobs are quickly filled with American labor. And illegals have financially drained many counties. They take out more than what they put back in through welfare, social programs, etc. As a former probation officer and social services person in New York City, I had to deal with illegal residents in more than one-third of my cases.
Immigration must be controlled and a strong quota must be put into place. Otherwise, our great nation will pay a price for it.

Fitness for spouses
Physical fitness is crucial to the Army's mission. Soldiers exercise religiously to maintain their body weight and overall health.
The benefits of exercise are numerous, both physically and psychologically. Of course, the military is aware of this. There is even a program now for Army civilians to exercise during their work hours (AR 600-63). Perhaps there could be a way to aid Army wives.
Spouses are a vital link in an Army family. It is a challenge to meet the ever-present demands of caring for a military family. Of course, the benefits of exercise are the same for anyone — soldier, civilian or mom. Making an effort for spouses to have gym access is an issue that directly affects the quality of life for the soldier. If I look and feel better, it affects my husband, whether home or deployed.
As it stands in Grafenwöhr, Germany, there is no available hourly child care. Needless to say, there are a great number of families who are adjusting to not having dad around for a while. These moms need to be able to access all benefits the Army offers. Being able to go to the gym can help to keep their spirits up, provide a positive outlet for venting frustrations, and simply give them a reason to get out of the house.
There are a number of options to explore for gym-based child care. There are many moms in this area who just want to exercise a few times a week. We want to get back in shape after giving birth, and combat postpartum depression. We want to set a good example for our children. We want to do our part to support our soldier and the Army's mission. Please support us — your Army families.

I don't carry yet, need to take the required course still. But my wife is on board with the idea 100%. She was with me when I got the gun for CC. But what we don't do is keep loaded guns strung through the house. We have a double barrel 12 gauge ready to be loaded. I'd like to get a smooth 18 inch barrel for my Mossberg and just keep the rifled barrel for hunting. In my new home, gonna use a 12 gauge and a Rossi Circuit Judge in .45 Colt. I don't want guns everywhere though. All but a few of my guns are in a safe. The rest are in some sort of case except one. That's because I can't find a case long enough, very long gun. I don't keep guns strung through the house because most thieves do not break in when you're home. Why keep the guns where the thieves can find them easy? I'm gonna try to find a way to stuff all of my guns in the safe except 2 that wont fit and hd guns. They will be hidden, possibly in the bedroom. When we have our kid, I'll have to figure out something else. The AK is already in a fancy case and I'm gonna have double padlocks, I'm still on the search for a 5 ft or so long case for my Marlin. I'm gonna figure out a way to lock the cases to the walls too so they aren't easily stolen.

My mom is 61 years old and she had a complete face lift and double chin removal, its been 4 months since she had the surgery and she still is very swollen and her neck is very stiff she can't turn her head at all. Some days she wakes up a bit less swollen and then get swollen again, she also says that she feels that her face gets very hot and it itches. Is all these normal??
How Long Does the Swelling Supposed to Last After a Face Lift and Neck Lift?
Doctor Answers 32
Swelling after facelift
In general, if you have a fuller face, you have more soft tissue than most so you'll hold on to fluid longer and have swelling after facelift longer. If you tend to bruise easily, your body has to clear the bruising so that will increase swelling in the area of the bruise more than average. Patients who have a robust immune system and heal well sometimes will swell even more because it's trying to do it too quickly and it will then take the fluid, from the increase in resources over a short period of time, time to dissipate and increase swelling after facelift. Thicker skin individuals, such as african-americans, asians, hispanics, and oily caucasians, will sometimes take longer to return to normal as well since thicker skin is like having a thicker sponge so swelling takes longer to resolve. Each person is different, but, on average, most people can plan on 14 days for noticeable swelling after facelift and to be presentable, with makeup.
In the end, the lymphatics, or drainage system, of your face has been interrupted by the surgery and recreating all these small vessels takes time and, in general, most people feel they look they're best around 3 months. Having said that, you are presentable at 14 days as almost 60% of the swelling is improved by then and 70% will improve by 6 weeks and then 80% around 3 months, on average Healing tissue takes a full year to mature in any part of the body so the last 20% will take 6-12 months depending on the person.
You can improve swelling after facelift by keeping your head elevated the first 2 weeks, applying cool compresses religiously the first week, minimizing activity after surgery, minimizing salt intake 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after surgery, using a steroid pack from your doctor, using a prescription version of arnica montana, and minimizing medications that can make you bruise 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after surgery such as aspirin, ibuprofen, herbal supplements especially green tea, gingko biloba, flax seed, fish oil, and multivitamins, especially those containing Vit E. Participating in lymphatic massages 10 days after the facelift can also help mobilize the fluid and minimize swelling; have a lymphatic massage once a week until the swelling has resolved.

Each patient is different and swelling may resolve at a different rate depending on the patient's individual healing rate

Face Lift Swelling 4 months after and stiff neck
This can be normal. This is not uncommon after 4 months. At this point you likely have around 70% of your healing. We usually tell people that they will have 60% of their healing / recovery complete by 6 weeks, 80-90% by 6 months. 100% can take as long as 2 years. This is based on wound healing studies and tensile breaking strength of a heal wound. I would consult with the physician that did your procedure to assess the situation or you could always send us photos. The stiffness will get better. Right now you have 30% to go more so keep waiting. But get some help. Benedryl will help the itching. I would consider some pressure dressings, maybe even oral steroids.
Facelift swelling
Persistent swelling 4 months after facelift
Thank you for your question AGDO - Swelling after a facelift can be extremely frustrating for patients as they want to get back to their lives after surgery. Depending on how aggressive the facelift technique was the swelling can take up to 6 to 8 months to resolve completely. Itching after surgery is very common as the healing process progresses.

The Imperial March: HD Version

That sounds great! Way back in the cave man days, people did that with C64 floppy drives. I remember hearing around one Christmas that 1541 floppy drives were failing in large numbers due to playing music on the floppy drive. I don't know if that's true, and I didn't actually know anyone with a C64 who killed their floppy drive. Just a rumor.
Here's a video of what it sounded like back then. Pretty lame by comparison. But we were pretty happy to rub two sticks together and get fire, back then.

Wayne, speaking of cave men… I have seen (and heard) a punched-tape reader play music. That was on a Univac, a real computer the size of a city bus.
#7 Inoculated Mind March 27, 2009
Ben Zvan is half-right. John Williams is the composer, but the main part of the theme is based on Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 in B minor. Holst's Mars comes into it a little bit, though.

Teruyoshi Uchimura and Kiyotaka Nanbara, better known as the comedy duo Utchan Nanchan, have tended to work separately in recent years, but they make a rare joint appearance as the hosts of the variety special "Konna Ii Hito Mita Koto Nai" ("I've Never Seen Such a Nice Person"; Nihon TV, Fri., 7 p.m.).
The "nice persons" profiled on the program are considered nice because they're extremely wealthy and like to spread their money around. For example, the owner of a major pharmaceutical company in Russia recently gave his wife a house of her own valued at ¥40 billion, and then gave his son a ¥100 million sports car for a birthday present. If that sounds as if he's only nice to his family, he says he also has an idea that will help people all over the world — if they're rich.
The show also looks at what the "American Dream" means nowadays.
Marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of mystery writer Seicho Matsumoto, there will be plenty of new dramatizations of his work on TV and in movie theaters this year. One of his most popular thrillers,
"Suna no Utsuwa" ("A Vessel of Sand"), will be presented in a brand new version on Saturday at 9 p.m. on TV Asahi.
The time is the 1960s, the place Tokyo, and the viewpoint that of young police detective Yoshimura (Hiroshi Tamaki), who, along with his older partner, Imanishi (Kaoru Kobayashi), is investigating the murder of a man found beaten to death in a train terminal. They learn that before the man was killed, he was seen with another man in a bar, and the two detectives try to track the man down.
Based on a tip from a reporter named Yoko (Miki Nakatani), Yoshimura and Imanishi head to Akita to look for more clues, and there they encounter a promising young composer named Waga (Kuronosuke Sasaki), who may be connected to the murder.
CM of the week: SoftBank
In the never ending saga of the White family, dad the dog and "older brother" (Dante Carver) have gone back to school, ostensibly to learn new things but mainly to shill for SoftBank's special mobile-phone savings plan for students.
Dog, Dante and other students are receiving a lesson from former boxer Guts Ishimatsu, who is lecturing on proverbs. On the blackboard he's written the phrase, "There's nothing more ____ than something that's free." One student says that the blank should be filled in with the word "expensive." Ishimatsu retorts, "Free is free, and a blank is a blank." The students don't understand, but one, Taizo Sugimura, seems profoundly impressed. Sugimura was a Diet lawmaker who won his seat with zero political experience and then became famous for putting his foot in his mouth.
A new career beckons.

January 27, 2010 BY Aaron Kr.
On Monday night, Nike Sportswear rolled out the orange carpet for a special launch event to introduce the fresh new line of Syracuse-inspired NSW gear designed by world-renowned artist, Futura. The event was planned around a ESPN Big Monday college basketball matchup between #4 ranked Syracuse and their longtime rivals, the Georgetown Hoyas, but there was no mistaking that the night was all about the Orange. Nike's 21 Mercer store was decked out from floor to ceiling with Orangemen imagery, including some wall pieces tagged up by the man of the hour himself. Along with Futura, former Syracuse stars Pearl Washington and Paul Harris were in the house to root on their team and to show their support for the new Futura x NSW project.
After some interviews and raffle giveaways, (including a Bespoke session with Futura!) it was time for tip-off as a packed house of attendees shifted their attention to the multiple TV's that were showing the game. Much to the delight of the heavily pro-Orange crowd, the Cuse got the win, making the night a complete success for all involved. Whether you came out on Monday or not, keep reading for a look at a bunch of pics from the event.

Use it to write "The Great (insert country of origin) Novel".
Use it to keep track of personal finances.
Use it play music into your ears, and video into your eyes.

slightly pretentious answr... but yeah i'd go along with that. just do stuff. books are handy, as is http://tldp.org but without some idea of what you want to achieve a book isn't really that much more use. you just teach yourself.
I can wholeheartedly recommend "The complete Unix Reference" from Osbourne's (ISBN 0-07-211892).
As its name suggests it is not specific to linux, but has not let me down yet. Should cost about £30 in the UK or $40 stateside.
O'Reilly do a book "Running Linux" which I did NOT find that useful as a newbie.
I believe Red hat are doing certification, but I have no idea about costs.
Linux is a very powerful OS, but only if it's used :D !!

I had rhinoplasty almost 3 weeks ago and i'm quite pleased with the results, except that the middle/ tip section is still really round looking. i had a bump removed and the top side of the bridge looks nice, then it kind of gets bigger and rounder towards the middle and tip. I was wondering if this was only swelling and if it'll go down to turn out more straight or if it will stay like this for the most part.
Will the Swelling in my Nose Go Down More in the Middle?
Doctor Answers 3
Assessment Of Rhinoplasty Results At 3 Weeks Post-op
Congratulations on your surgery!
At 3 weeks post-op, it is too early to assess the end results of your rhinoplasty.
The swelling is pretty normal and you need to be a little more patient allowing nature to take its course.
Usually, the final results are established at about 12 months after the surgery but at the 6 months mark most of the changes would have taken place.
I recommend that you keep your surgeon in the loop of your progress as he/she knows the full details of your surgery.
I hope this helps.
The best of luck to you.

At 3 weeks your nose is only at the beginning of swelling resolution
This is an area that tends to swell a lot in rhinoplasty, particulary if some reduction was done on the dorsum. You need to give it at least 6-12 months (and longer if you have thick skin) before you clearly assess the long-term width in that area.

Swelling after three weeks
I wish I could put nasal splint on every patient for 6 months so they can't look at it until the swelling is gone and the final result materializes..

For more than a decade, scientists have known microbes can live under glacial ice sheets that are millions of years old, but the mechanism that allows the light- and organic carbon- starved microbes to obtain energy for survival has been a mystery.
Now, research by Montana State University professors and others appearing in the November issue of Nature Geoscience has found that the grinding action of glaciers and ice sheets against silicate rocks, when combined with water, releases enough hydrogen gas to sustain methanogenic archaea, or microorganisms that produce methane.
Mark Skidmore, associate professor of geology in the MSU College of Letters and Science, and Eric Boyd, assistant professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology in the MSU College of Agriculture and MSU College of Letters and Science, co-authored "Rock Comminution as a Source of Hydrogen for Subglacial Ecosystems" with colleagues from the U.K, Norway and Ohio. Nature Geoscience is the number one-ranked multidisciplinary geoscience journal.
"This is the first time that this mechanism has been considered in a glaciated environment, and I would say it's an important mechanism for supporting life in any subsurface system," Boyd said. "This mechanism likely extends to numerous other wet environments where seismic activity or other physical processes lead to shearing of silicate minerals."
As part of the research, Skidmore and Boyd collected a rock sample from Robertson Glacier near Canmore, Alberta, and sent the samples to lead study author Jon Telling of the University of Bristol's School of Geographical Sciences.
Researchers then crushed the sample – along with subglacial rock samples from Greenland, Norway and Antarctica – in a lab. The samples were ground into progressively smaller pieces to replicate the physical process of an ice sheet moving against bedrock. During the grinding process, surface minerals were sheared and free radicals formed. When researchers added water to the sample, hydrogen gas was produced – enough to support subglacial microbial communities. The amount of hydrogen produced increased with higher temperatures and with increased surface area of the crushed rock.
The hydrogen-generating mechanism is an important process for microbes existing under ice sheets for extended periods of time, Skidmore said. Initially, sub-glacial microbes can obtain organic carbon from soils or vegetation that are overrun as an ice mass forms, but eventually these organic carbon energy sources become depleted. Once they're exhausted, the availability of hydrogen becomes key to the survival of these microbes. Skidmore said such environments include East Antarctica, which has been covered in ice for millions of years.
Past periods of global glaciation on Earth, such as the Neoproterozoic glaciation of 700 million years ago, are implicated in this finding as well. During Neoproterozoic glaciations, sometimes referred to as the "Snowball Earth" events, most of Earth's continents were covered in ice.
NASA provided funding for Skidmore and Boyd's research on Robertson Glacier.
Boyd said that NASA is interested in studying the limits of life on Earth – looking at high and low temperature extremes, for example – to better understand potential for life on other features of our solar system.
"There are silicate rocks on Mars, and also ice caps and glacier-like features, so there's no reason to believe why ice on Mars grinding up silicate rocks shouldn't interact with basal melt water to produce hydrogen there, exactly as it does on Earth," Skidmore said.
Boyd was a post-doctoral fellow with the NASA Astrobiology Institute from 2009 to 2011 and conducted research on Robertson Glacier that focused on methane producing microorganisms in subglacial ecosystems.
Skidmore and Boyd were also awarded a grant from the NASA Exobiology and Evolutionary Biology program to study methane in subglacial sediment at Robertson Glacier. For five years beginning in 2010, they went to Robertson Glacier two to three times per year to conduct research, sometimes staying up to three months at a time.
Future research building upon the findings published in Nature Geoscience will likely focus on how hydrogen dependent primary producers, such as methanogenic archaea, support more complex forms of life underneath glaciers, Boyd said.
"The obvious next step for us is to figure out the extent to which the hydrogen that is produced by silicate mineral shearing is supporting other forms of life in subglacial ecosystems," Boyd said. "Not only are we supporting more simple forms of microbial life, we're supporting complex life in the form of eukaryotes."

Different breed: Mesa's Dominguez is rare type of senior transfer
Senior transfers are a crapshoot.
They've been in at least one, often two, other programs. They'll likely be taking playing time away from someone who has been in the program for three or four years.
And if it's a senior transferring from a Division I program to a Division II school, there's always the risk of the new guy big-timing his new teammates.
Then there's Michael Dominguez of the Mesa State College men's basketball team.
"Sometimes you worry about a D-I transfer coming in and saying, 'You all know I'm a Division I transfer, you should bow down to me because you're lucky I'm here with you,' '' Mesa State coach Jim Heaps said last week in talking about the 6-foot-3 senior guard who leads the Mavericks (6-0, 2-0 RMAC) in scoring at 17.8 per game.
"At no point has he (done that). He's great to his teammates, he fits right in."
Dominguez, from Santa Fe, N.M., played two years at Northeastern Junior College in Sterling, where he was an all-region player in 2008, then went to Florida International University last year.
He started 30 of 33 games for the Golden Panthers, averaging 10.1 points a game. He led the team in scoring in nine games, including a season-high 22 against Monmouth in the second game of the season. He had five 20-point games, including one against Georgetown.
"Yeah, I can score 20 on Georgetown and we get drilled by 30," he said of the 76-38 loss. "It's not a fun feeling. I'd rather win."
He wasn't comfortable on the big campus (40,000 students) and being so far away from his family. Also, FIU didn't offer his major, K-12 physical education, so he had to change majors to sports management. He's back in the education department now, and will gradate next winter.
"It (made) me a lot better and I played superb competition, UCLA, Georgetown, but it was a matter of being somewhere closer to home," he said.
"My family is coming up for the second week. They've gotten to see more games in two weeks than all of last year."
More than that, though, he hated losing. The Golden Panthers went 13-20 last season.
"In five years, I lost a total of 11 games in high school and junior college," he said. "I lost that in one year at FIU. I'm not accustomed to losing."
When he decided to leave FIU, he called his junior college coach, Eddie Trenkle, and told him he was looking for a school in the RMAC.
Trenkle, who played at Mesa State in the late 1990s, suggested Dominguez call Heaps. Michael Wells, a former assistant at Northeastern, is now the director of the student recreation center at Mesa and told Heaps that Dominguez was worth a one-year deal.
So far, so good.
Dominguez has been the Mavs' leading scorer in four of six games, averaging almost 31 minutes a game, tops on the team. It's not a case of Dominguez demanding the ball or Mesa running the offense to suit him — he's second on the team in assists with 22, 3.6 per game.
"It's how you fit in with the players," he said. "Yeah, I'm going to break someone down and score, but I'm also going to create a shot for you and they're going to knock it down. I'm not looking to put up 20 shots a game."
A point guard in high school, Dominguez can help handle the ball against pressure, like the Mavericks will see Sunday night against No. 17 Metro State. On Saturday night, Mesa plays Regis University.
Saturday's women's game begins at 7 p.m., the men's game at 9 p.m. — a move to accommodate the Maverick Duals high school wrestling tournament that begins Saturday morning.
Sunday's women's game begins at 5 p.m., the men's game at 7 p.m.
As well as Dominguez has fit in with the Mavericks, one thing isn't quite the same as D-I hoops.
"He complained because we had to eat at a convenience store after the Mines tournament game," Heaps said, laughing. " 'This is where we're eating?' 'Yep. Get used to the RMAC travel, baby.' We were trying to get on the road, just get something and go.''
Dominguez was a little surprised at the postgame "restaurant," but again, he'll trade linen tablecloths for a win.
"We used to eat at the best restaurants, stay at five-star hotels, everything top of the line," he said. "Here, I'll substitute all that for more victories and hopefully a championship and a trip to nationals."

Committee says no to schools soda ban
The bill would have barred soft drink sales on the state's campuses, but
the education committee rejected the measure
By Stefanie Frith
ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO - Ignoring nutritionists who say
California's school children are becoming more
obese with every soda they sip, a Senate committee killed a bill Tuesday
that would have banned the sale of soft drinks on
school campuses. The Senate Education Committee defeated the bill by
Sen. Deborah Ortiz, D-Sacramento, by a 6-1 vote. It needed eight votes
to pass. If SB1520 had become law, California would have been the most
populous state to start phasing out junk food in schools. Texas is
trying to limit junk food sales, while Maine, New York, New Jersey,
Maryland, Colorado, Nebraska and Idaho already do. The same goes for
Florida, where snack food is not sold on elementary school campuses. The
soft drink and food industries opposed the bill, as did the California
Teachers Association, the state's largest teachers union. Industry
advocates said it would limit the choice of people to eat and drink what
they want, while teachers said it would take money away from schools
during difficult financial times. The California Teachers Association
said with $1.7 billion in K-12 costs being shifted from this budget year
to next, now is not the time to be taking money away from schools. "If
you ban soda on school campuses, they will just go off campus and buy it
at the gas station across the street," said Wayne Johnson, CTA
president. "I don't think you will accomplish much except hurting school
funding." Many schools rely on income from soda and snack food sales.
Nationwide, schools get about $750 million a year from companies that
sell snack or processed food in schools, an industry study found. The
Oakland school district would have lost about $650,000 a year, while the
San Diego City district would have lost about $500,000. In San Diego,
soft drinks are sold on only the 16 high school campuses, said city
district spokesman Steven Baratte. If Ortiz's bill had passed, the
district planned to make up for the lost money by selling juice and
milk. The California Alliance for Consumer Protection, a soft drink
industry lobbying group, said the bill only hinted at the fundamental
problem of overweight children. "What about all the other crappy food
they (schools) sell?" asked Michael Ross, a lobbyist for the alliance.
"To pick on one thing is wrong. So don't just pick on sodas." Ross added
that schools are so concerned with raising children's test scores that
the homework load is growing and students are not receiving the amount
of exercise they should. Ortiz had first proposed a tax on soda and
other sugary, high-calorie drinks, then amended her bill to limit the
sale of beverages on school campuses to fruit-based drinks, water,
sports drinks and milk.

Washington: An American Muslim group galvanized international attention when they waged their violent campaign against ISIS after plastering the message "HEY ISIS,YOU SUCK!!!" on the billboard on US interstate highway.
The Non-profit organization sound vision's success reach Viral hashtag #actualmuslims, the Muslim majority stance of what some critics label as Silence over ISIS crimes despite the militant group's crime against followers of Islam.
According to the report published in Al Arabiya Chicago-based Sound Vision says "We have received requests from about 10 different communities after this billboard," Mohammad Siddiqi, Sound Vision's executive director, told,"Muslim communities now want to have similar billboards in their areas."

The 11 counties with land in this watershed include Sandusky, Ottawa, Erie, Huron, Richland, Crawford, Wyandot, Marion, Hardin, Seneca and Wood counties. Many of these counties also are within the boundaries of the Lake Erie Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, which the secretary of agriculture enhanced this year. The Conservation Security Program rewards agricultural producers who are proven stewards of the land. No-till farming, lining streams and rivers with buffers to capture run-off and provide wildlife habitat, recycling oil from farming operations, planting windbreaks and many similar activities are the type of conservation practices rewarded by stewardship payments to farmers in the CSP. Incentives to do even more to protect the environment and conserve natural resources also are offered through CSP.

Available Cubic Feet: Cubic Feet available for stowage without application of a broken stowage factor. Obtained by multiplying the available square feet by the maximum allowable stowage height.
Available Square Feet: Square Feet available for stowage without allowing for fire lanes, forklift stowage, ships' vehicle stowage, prepositioned material (i.e., LFORM/MLA, AVCAL, boat haven material, etc.) stowage, or application of a broken stowage factor. (This figure represents the absolute maximum square footage available.)
Broken Stowage: Space lost between boxes, between vehicles, around obstructions and over (above) cargo/vehicles due to irregular shapes/configuration, separation requirements and fire lanes.
Broken Stowage Factor: The difference between 100% and the broken stowage loss, expressed in terms of a percentage. (This factor will vary depending upon the commodity (vehicle, cargo - standard/palletized, drums) being planned for stowage, the method of stowage and the ship type.)
NOTE: For application of broken stowage loss/factor, refer to JCS Pub 3-02.2 "Amphibious Embarkation."
Broken Stowage Loss: Total lost space expressed in terms of a percentage.
CATF Staff: The immediate staff assigned to the Commander of the Amphibious Task Force including the personnel of Tactical Air Control Group, Squadron or Detachment, Medical Regulating Team and subordinate Amphibious Squadron Commanders and their staffs.
Fire Lane: That area which must be kept free of vehicles/cargo so as to allow access to fire fighting stations and/or travel by fire fighting parties. Fire lanes are only shown on diagrams when their location is fixed and cannot be adjusted to conform to load configuration. Space for fire lanes must be limited to only that which is absolutely necessary for safety, and is not to be utilized as a buffer or to create a nice to have situation. KEARSARGE requires a minimum fire lane of 18".
JP-5 (Bulk) (Aviation): That quantity of JP-5 which may be carried in ships' tanks and dispensed to aircraft on flight/hangar decks.
JP-5 (Bulk) (Ground): That quantity of JP-5 which may be carried in ships' tanks and dispensed from points not flight/ hangar deck oriented (i.e., vehicle stowage areas or well decks).
Landing Force Operational
Reserve Material (LFORM): LFORM munitions are Prepositioned War Reserve (PWR) assets placed aboard
amphibious warfare (AW) ships to reduce contingency response time. LFORM assets consist of class I (rations), class III (packaged and bulk POL), class IV (fortification material) and class V(A) and class V(W), aviation and ground munitions respectively.
Load Limit Line: An imaginary line (point) within a stowage area which limits the placement of vehicles/cargo. Used in conjunction with doorways, pallet conveyors, elevators, fire lanes, fire fighting stations, etc. The load limit line does not necessarily prevent movement through the area it bounds (i.e., a fire lane).
Maximum Allowable Stowage
Height: A GENERAL PLANNING FACTOR. The maximum height of a vehicle or maximum height cargo can be stowed within a given space, after consideration has been given for limiting factors such as 9" clearance to sprinkler heads or 18" below girders (whichever is lower). (Exceptions to this would be indicated by footnote to the diagram.)
Normal Berthing: The total number of bunks available to the landing force when consideration has been given to maximum use of available recreation tables, TV viewing areas, etc. (The numbers would reflect a comfortable berthing level and not necessarily be the same as the design maximum.)
Pallet Square: A GENERAL PLANNING FACTOR. Equivalent to the area occupied by a 40" x 48" pallet. Utilized in conjunction with cargo spaces to denote the total number of 40" x 48" pallets which could be placed one high within that space, provided the hatch is large enough for pallet entry.
Surge (Maximum) Berthing: The number of bunks available to the landing force. (The numbers must reflect the design maximum.) This includes normal bunks plus surge bunks that are normally stowed against bulkheads in recreation rooms. "Hot Bunking", use of cots, inclusion of medical beds, etc. is not to be considered.
Vehicle Stowage Area: Any shipboard space designated by design and configured for stowage of vehicles, without reference to their size and type.
Maximum Average Deck
Load Limit: The maximum allowable load, in pounds per square foot, that can be stowed in a cargo magazine. This measurement is based on an analysis of the actual as built deck structure uniformly loaded and includes the effects due to ship motion. Since it
is an average, this load limit may be increased in some areas of a compartment if it is lowered in another area.

Rating the Commonwealth Games: Pass or Fail?
Seven years in the making, $6 billion spent and the Commonwealth Games are now done. The preparations, or lack thereof, weren't pretty. They tarnished India's image in the world. Yet, in many respects the Games surpassed the low expectations set for them and at some moments the past 11 days were everything that "the Friendly Games" should be: thrilling, heartbreaking, pride-inducing, inspirational.
India Real Time decided to rate key aspects of the event, based on the hours that we have spent writing about and studying the Games pre-Oct. 3 and attending and reporting on them since then.
Here is our report card. We also assigned points to the grades and aggregated them for our final score at the end.
1. Security: A-minus
This was the major concern surrounding the Games—until we started to realize that the Games themselves were in jeopardy because of Delhi's chaotic preparations. In the end the Games must be judged by what didn't happen and by that measure, they excelled. There were no scares, let alone incidents. Security was water-tight. We just shaved a little off a perfect grade because the amount and visibility of security made getting to the Games at times extremely onerous and restrictions on outdoor crowds meant events like the road cycling were held in a vacuum. But still a very good showing.
2. Ticketing: D
After the glory of the opening ceremony, it was disappointing to see empty stands at many venues, especially in the early days. And we received numerous reports of hassles and disappointments in trying to buy tickets online—hassles acknowledged by Organizing Committee's Suresh Kalmadi. Eventually, the stands filled and box offices at venues made tickets more accessible. But it was too late—and disrespectful to the athletes in early competition. Moreover, so many seats were reserved for babus that you had the ridiculous situation of great blocks of empty seats at events that, technically, were sold out. This could have been handled much better with more foresight and testing.
3. Team India: A-minus
There were terrific and inspiring stories as India's athletes powered to their best-ever performance at the Commonwealth Games, squeezing ahead of England to come second behind Australia in the gold medal tally and third overall. India's first Games gold for Gagan Narang and Abhinav Bindra; the Indian hockey team's thrashing of Pakistan, triumph over England and silver medal; the sweep of the women's discus and the gold in the 4 x 400 women's relay that re-established India on the track; boxers Suranjoy Mayengbam Singh who put the lie to India only being good at "wristy" sports; Kavita Raut fighting her way to the bronze in the 10,000m; Saina Nehwal winning on home turf.
These were all great performances that made the nation proud. What would it have taken for a straight A? India's tennis stars could have done better and a positive dope test on Team India was a demerit. And, let's not forget, India still placed well behind Australia, a nation with a population not much bigger than New Delhi's.
4. Festive Spirit: C
A mixed bag. Tourists stayed away. The athletes were sequestered in the Games Village. Predictions of giant traffic jams weren't met—because there was hardly any traffic. Many cultural events bombed. Delhi didn't come alive for the Games, it went to sleep. We blame this mostly on the organizers, whose headline-grabbing incompetence ensured that any chance of a citywide carnival atmosphere was stifled despite a wide festival of arts and culture that was arranged.
Inside the stadiums, once ticketing troubles were fixed, it was a different story: Indian fans were admirably infused with the Games spirit and the opening and closing ceremonies were spectacular. At the best moments, spectators could rub shoulders and share a sense of camaraderie with fellow Delhi residents, a rare experience in this city of closed social circles and gated enclaves. That spirit reached its zenith at last nights' close when folks were dancing in the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium's aisles. If only that joyful energy could have been there from the start.
5. Kalmadi and the Organizers: F
That's F for fail. The Games opened and closed and events happened in between. But not before the intervention of the prime minister, public tongue-lashings from Commonwealth Games Federation officials and sporting administrators from across the world, and a desperate last-minute rush that could easily have been avoided. The organizers, and we'll include the Delhi government and federal sports ministry, were apparently completely out of their depth yet maintained a willful blindness to problems that were obvious to everyone else.
No wonder Mr. Kalmadi was booed whenever he appeared in public, including last night. Lalit Bhanot got equally loud jeers, if not louder. These people shouldn't be allowed to organize a craft fair let alone the Olympics. Let the accountability begin.
6. The Games Village: B
The phrases "filthy" and "uninhabitable" will leave an indelible stain on the athletes' accommodation. But once the emergency crews were brought in, we heard nothing but praise for the facilities from athletes staying there. They praised the food in particular but also the recreational and workout facilities as well as the volunteer staff. They may indeed have been the best Commonwealth Games accommodations after all. The owners that will now take over these apartments probably made a wise investment.
7. Back Office: D
As we now know all too well, putting on the Commonwealth Games is as much about what happens behind the scenes as in front of the cameras. And here, again, Delhi let down athletes and fans. Accreditation for Games personnel and the media was so behind schedule that the end result was chaos. New passes given once the Games began weren't recognized by security scanners at the gates, prompting police officials to ask pass-bearers just to sign an entry book. Don't we live in the land of 21st century information technology?
Results were late in being published. A sprinter waited more than an hour before finding out she had been disqualified. There were transport problems that weren't rectified until well into the Games. These were not catastrophic. But nor was it a flawless event, as it could have been and should have been if Delhi had been better prepared.
8. Hospitality: B-plus
People we talked to generally spoke highly of the reception they received at hotels, at the Games Village, and other venues around town. When we encountered volunteers, they didn't always have the right information at hand. But they were polite and their enthusiasm was infectious. Cops at venues, too, frequently if at times awkwardly smiled and said a hearty "hello" and "welcome" so some of that politeness training we heard about for months paid off.
With 5 points for A, 4.75 for A-minus, 4.25 points for B-plus, 4 for B, 3 for C, 2 for D and 0 for F, the Games aggregate score was 3.1.
That's an overall C. It's not a fail. It's not a grade you crow about, either.
