TRNP implements firewood restrictions to fight ash borer
The Theodore Roosevelt National Park is prohibiting out-of-state firewood from being brought into the park to avoid spreading the emerald ash borer.
The ash borer, an insect, is spreading rapidly in the U.S., park Superintendent Valerie Naylor said in a press release.
"Most of the trees in the woody draws in the park are green ash. The emerald ash borer is a huge threat to scenery and wildlife habitat, as it could kill thousands of ash trees should it reach the park in firewood," she said.
Firewood can be bought within the state, including locally near the park. The park also allows campers to collect dead and down wood from within campground areas.

As part of its attempt to boost Afghanistan's economic and political development, the United States is paying thousands of Afghan contractors and subcontractors to perform much of the work that supports U.S. efforts there. But the "Afghan First" program could be achieving just the opposite of its intended effect, according to officials trying to figure out where the money is going.
Initial assessments by newly organized military task forces and government investigators indicate that instead of promoting new small and medium-size businesses, building trust and spreading the wealth, many of the contracts appear to have enriched Afghanistan's traditional power brokers and created new ones.
"We have the best of intentions," said Rear Adm. Kathleen Dussault, head of a new team of forensic auditors sent to examine military contracts in Afghanistan. But "we need to look at how we're doing business."
Dussault's Joint Task Force 2010 is one of several new initiatives after widespread reports that U.S. spending in Afghanistan, in amounts far exceeding the country's own income, may have exacerbated some of the problems it set out to solve and is a major contributor to the corruption that has hobbled U.S. efforts. The reports have led House appropriators to hold up approval of some of the administration's new spending requests for Afghan reconstruction.
After eight years in Afghanistan and more than $50 billion spent, the United States still has "no comprehensive database on reconstruction contracts" and no integrated system to track projects that are "completed, ongoing and planned," Special Inspector General Arnold Field told Congress in mid July. President Barack Obama has asked for an additional $20 billion in fiscal 2011.
"It is not enough to simply conduct audits of contracts and program management after money has been spent," Field said.
Second sailor's body found: Petty Officer 3rd Class Jarod Newlove, 25, the second U.S. sailor who went missing from Camp Julien on the outskirts of Kabul last week, was found dead Wednesday and his body has been recovered, the U.S. military said Thursday. The body of Petty Officer 2nd Class Justin McNeley, 30, of Wheat Ridge, Colo., was recovered Sunday. Newlove was from the Seattle area.

Blood-bound and Tongue-tied to Greek Mythology
Jacqueline E. Lawton's Blood-bound and Tongue-tied, currently having its world premiere at the Strand Theater in Baltimore, can seem like two plays hammered onto different sides of the Oedipus myth. Oedipus, recall, was the Theban king who killed his father and married his mother, producing four accursed offspring and bringing divine retribution upon their heads. In the version with which most of us are likely familiar—Sophocles' tragedy—the crimes are committed before the play begins; the drama is in the aftermath. In contrast, Lawton devotes Act One of her play to the backstory, which unfolds in brief scenes spread over many years; her focus is not the son but the mother, Jocasta. (Lawton names all but one of her characters after their Greek equivalents.)
During this first act, Lawton weaves some interesting details around her central premise, which is that Jocasta—a light-skinned black woman in Depression-era Tennessee—leaves behind her family and moves to Texas in order to pass as a white woman. There she marries Laius, the son of a wealthy—and dangerously bigoted—man, and settles into a life of privilege. But the birth of a son, whom she names Oedipus and who is "black as night," shatters her peace, and the lies she tells to guard herself from the truth inevitably doom her.
As directed by Lindsay Gentry, these early scenes move quietly, with little indication—save our knowledge of the source material and an occasional, red-lit dream—of the horrors to come. These Lawton reserves for Act Two, which hews more closely to the Greek myth—with increasing costs to dramatic logic. In noting these costs, I will have to give away certain plot points, though I will try not to reveal more than people already familiar with the story of Oedipus could infer.
My main problem with Blood-bound is that its sense of justice seems unbalanced. The Greek Oedipus and Jocasta are punished for the sins of incest and murder (however unintentional)—they are both polluted and pollutants, and they must be cleansed through blood. Because Lawton begins her story so much earlier, and lingers so long with young Jocasta and Laius, the sin that triggers their tragedy is Jocasta's deceit. As one character tells her, "You lied, and now thousands of people are dead." But Lawton does not convince me this crime demands such retribution—Jocasta may not deserve a happy ending, but neither does she resemble her tragic namesake.
Equally unconvincing is Laius's fall from amiable civil rights lawyer to symbol of all that is racist and evil. Act Two begins with a compelling new tension between husband and wife; rather than develop this conflict on its own terms, Lawton leaps forward repeatedly in time to arrive at the moments, at last, when son kills father and seduces mother. But the sequence of events that leads there breaks down in several places:
- Why, in the heart of mid-century Texas, does Oedipus, a black man, believe that killing Laius, a white man, would prevent deaths? It seems more likely that to avenge Laius, his fellow Klansmen would go on a rampage. Oedipus may not care, but I feel we should. In tying together the fates of her protagonists, Lawton neglects the community they leave behind—we never learn the aftermath.
- Why does Oedipus not shoot Laius on the spot? Instead, he binds and interrogates him for no apparent purpose than to recite the riddle posed by the Sphinx to the original Oedipus. (What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs at night?) But how is the answer relevant to Lawton's play?
- Why does Jocasta, who insists to the end that she loved her husband, stay with Oedipus, whom she knows murdered Laius in cold blood? (In the original story, Jocasta does not learn this until well after she marries Oedipus.) More crucially, why does she become his lover?
In spite of these difficulties, the actors are solid, though they seem more comfortable inhabiting the middle grounds of the first act than the tragic extremes of the second—particularly Kelli Wright as Jocasta and Morgan Mosley as her brother, Creon. As Oedipus, Derek Cooper stalks the stage like a panther—his sleekness is thrilling, though his growl of a voice verges on the comical. Chris Knight's Laius morphs from an awkward young man and idealist into a paranoid leader of thugs; nevertheless, in all their scenes together he and Wright remain fully invested in their characters' love for each other, and their relationship is the strongest aspect of the play. Ann Turiano makes a poignant third wheel as an unrequited admirer of Laius, Jenna. (At the risk of nitpicking, I wish Lawton had given this character a more classical name such as Helen or Diana—there is something inherently silly in the juxtaposition of Oedipus, Jocasta, and Jenna.)
The actors as well as director Gentry struggle to find continuity through the frequent scene changes and chronological leaps, interrupting the story's momentum—we are rarely in any place long enough to be absorbed before the lights dim and the actors hurry to rearrange the furniture. Lighting designer Matthew Klein does his best to cover each transition, and the set designer makes efficient use of the cramped space. (I don't know if this credit should go to "scenic artist" David Cunningham, who if nothing else contributes three vivid murals to the world of the play.) Yet the Strand's incredible intimacy can be as much obstacle as advantage. It may be that such a tiny theater, with its seats on opposite sides of and level to the playing area (I was constantly shifting from chair to chair in search of unobstructed sightlines through the audience), is not the right venue for so fragmented a piece.
Blood-bound and Tongue-tied is playing at the Strand Theater, located on 1823 North Charles Street, on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 P.M., through April 7th. There is one Thursday performance, on April 5th at 8 P.M., and one Sunday performance, on April 1st at 3 P.M. Tickets are $20 for general admission, $15 for seniors, and $10 for students.

HAMILTON striker Stevie May says Accies have nothing to lose when they face Partick Thistle this evening.
Billy Reid's side head into the Firhill clash on the back of a frustrating derby draw with Airdrie on Saturday that saw May rescue a point in the dying seconds of the game.
Accies have beaten the Jags twice this season, both at New Douglas Park, and head to Glasgow aiming to improve on a 4-0 defeat earlier in the campaign.
The Lanarkshire side have a busy schedule coming up but May is relishing the challenge as they look to climb the Irn-Bru First Division standings.
He said: "I am happy to be getting goals but I think three points on Saturday would have been the main thing.
"Goals are what strikers are judged on and I am happy with my goal tally so far.
"We are all looking forward to the Thistle game although we know it is going to be tough.
"We will be there to fight. We had a good outing against them the last time so they will probably be wary of us and we have nothing to lose.
"We are playing Saturday and Tuesday but as a footballer you just want to play in as many games as possible.
"There will be a lot of tired legs about but you would rather have that than having a week between games."

Me, a grown man, enjoying a cake pop
North Park treats for graduation, wedding, Easter

Most Precious Blood Church
Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament
1245 Fourth Avenue,

Down in adoration falling,
This great sacrament we hail.
Over ancient forms of worship
Newer rites of grace prevail.
Faith will tell us Christ is present
When our human senses fail.
-- from the Pange Lingua Gloriosi,
by St. Thomas Aquinas
An amazing idea: God, seeking to rescue man from himself, took the form of man. A still more amazing idea: Before he died, he instituted a ritual whereby bread and wine actually become His body and blood, physical nourishment for the soul. It's more than some sort of holy cannibalism, it's eating God. Catholics believe that when a priest repeats Christ's words, "This is my body, which shall be given up for you," and elevates the wafer, they are looking at God Himself. That's why churches became so grandiose -- they were literally houses for God. But the grandiosity was for our benefit, a reminder of the glory of the creator. God humbled Himself to become man, and does not disdain a humble house. What He wants is reverence and love, and reunion with his creatures. To that end, the blessed sacrament is displayed 24 hours a day in the tiny chapel at Most Precious Blood.

Dear EarthTalk: There are a number of companies out there now doing "energy audits" for the home, after which they try to sell you attic insulation and other products and services. Is this just a scam or would it be wise for me to look into this?
- Bill Richards
New York, N.Y.
For the most part, companies offering energy audits are reputable and legitimate and will help you save money and reduce your carbon footprint if you follow their advice regarding upgrading things such as insulation, windows and appliances.
"A home energy assessment, also known as a home energy audit, is the first step to assess how much energy your home consumes and to evaluate what measures you can take to make your home more energy efficient," reports the U.S. Department of Energy. "An assessment will show you problems that may, when corrected, save you significant amounts of money over time."
Assessments can help you pinpoint where your house is losing energy, says the DOE.
"Energy assessments also determine the efficiency of your home's heating and cooling systems (and) may also show you ways to conserve hot water and electricity," according to the energy department.
You can conduct your own energy audit if you know where to look for air leaks (drafts), water waste and other key areas of a home's inefficiencies.
The DOE's Energy Savers website (www.energysavers.gov) has guidelines to help homeowners conduct do-it-yourself home energy assessments.
For instance, DOE recommends that homeowners make a list of obvious air leaks, such as through gaps along baseboards or at the edges of flooring and at wall and ceiling junctures. The potential energy savings from reducing drafts in a home can be as high as 30 percent per year, reports DOE.
(The DOE website also provides information on other ways to save money and resources through less obvious things such as outdoor landscaping. It also posts guidelines for energy-efficient designing and remodeling.)
You also should check the filters on heating and cooling equipment to see if they need to be changed, to keep your furnace and air conditioners functioning at maximum efficiency.
And if these or other appliances are more than 15 years old, consider replacing them with newer models that meet federal EnergyStar efficiency criteria. Also, swapping out older incandescent bulbs in light fixtures with higher-efficiency compact fluorescent or LED bulbs will save money and energy.
A professional energy auditor with dedicated assessment tools and the knowledge of how to use them will in all likelihood carry out a more comprehensive assessment than you can do yourself. Such assessments often involve the use of equipment such as blower doors, which measure the extent of leaks, and infrared cameras, to reveal hard-to-detect areas of air infiltration and missing insulation.
If you are concerned about enlisting a for-profit firm that sells its own energy efficiency upgrade services based on a "free" energy audit, check with your utility to see whether it offers unbiased, independent energy audit services (which it may do for free or for a nominal cost).
The assessor from your utility may be able to recommend window and door replacement companies, heating and cooling specialists and other vendors nearby that do reputable work to make sure your home is not only energy efficient but warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Holy Names high school students welcomed Mayor Eddie Francis to their library today to discuss a new future for Windsor.
With Video: Students at Holy Names support Windsor FINA bid
Holy Names high school students welcomed Mayor Eddie Francis to their library today to discuss a new future for Windsor.
The mayor was joined with two-time medalist at the International Children's Games, Amber Lefler, to talk about the possibility of Windsor hosting the FINA World Short Course Swimming Championships in 2016 or 2018.
Windsor, Abu Dhabi in the United Emirates and Hong Kong are being considered for the event. The mayor will be making a final presentation in Instanbul, Turkey, to FINA Tuesday to promote Windsor's bid.
Lefler said the FINA championship would be a positive experience for Windsor.
"It's a great opportunity for athletes to meet people from other countries," said Lefler. "If I was at FINA I would be very nervous because all of the bigger athletes…. It would be amazing to meet them."
Holy Names students signed a banner which will be brought up during the mayor's final presentation.
"I think it's important for us to reflect the support of the community," said Francis. "Going into this we wanted to put the city on the map and create a profile, create awareness within a federated body that is well known and hopefully create opportunities for the city. We've accomplished that element, but when you get involved in this, you want to win. We've accomplished half of our objective and we're hoping to accomplish the second half. Being able to compete against Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi and to be able to win will go a long way for this region."
The successful city to host the FINA championships will be announced Tuesday.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
Is this little cyst on her eyeball itself?
I see you are offline, we can use the Q&A system to work on your question
This is a change in the skin around the eye (conjunctiva) from a lifetime's worth of exposure to sunlight. It is not a cancer. It also can become irritated and red at times.
Here is a link to a picture of a small pinguecula. You can find many other pictures by going to Google images:
This is link to a picture of a pterygium. As you can see one of the major differences between a pterygium and a pinguecula is that a pterygium grows across the clear part of your eye (cornea):
If you are bothered by your pinguecula it can be surgically removed fairly easily by your ophthalmologist using local anesthesia. One word of caution however.....they have the nasty habit of growing back, sometimes with a vengeance.
Does this make sense to you?
For the redness do not use visine or any drops that are for "getting the red out" as this will just irritate things more. Use natural tears to soothe and protect the eye.
Let me know if there is anything else you would like to discuss on this topic
The best treatment for this condition daily lid scrubs combined with warm compresses. I like to use baby shampoo for lid scrubs. In the shower, place the shampoo on your index fingers, close your eyes, raise your eyebrows (to stretch the skin on you eyelids) and scrub back and forth along your eyelashes for 3 to 5 minutes. The hot water in the shower helps to soften the plugged oils in the glands while the mechanical scrubbing with your soapy fingers removes the oils.

How to…Make it Real
// November 24th, 2008 // Comments Off // acting, How To...
So, you got the script… someone deemed to think you were good enough, or close enough or like someone else enough or.. hate to say it, available and at the right price enough to cast you! So what next? Its the first day of rehearsals and you are looking forward to meeting everyone. Hand shakes done, air kisses launched, 'do you know's ' answered and future pending projects discussed, time to start the job properly, but there is just this underlying tension… and I have known tremendously gifted, seasoned and well known performers who will admit to this, the insecure thoughts that pop into the mind… you know the ones…
'What if I don't get it, the director may not like what I do, the cast may hate me, I may come across as unsubtle, I may be the biggest casting mistake since Mother Theresa when she played Ozzy Osbourne in the film 'What f**kin hamster?'.
The thing to remind ourselves is this. All this comes from our personal psychological tensions, not the characters we play. So these wobbly moments of the ego really hold no place in the rehearsal room. If we have thought about our character prior to rehearsal, and I don't mean learned the lines, done some research which I would presume most of us would have done ( she says trying not to teach granny to suck eggs!) I mean really closed our eyes and imagined their lives through their eyes. Even if through the rehearsal period, we discover that our characters main objectives have changed, these characters will feel more three dimensional and real to us and so the process of the rehearsal becomes a voyage of artistic discovery rather than a period of bedding down and getting on with everyone. Thus our initial apprehension released, allows us to be uncensored and uninhibited with one and other. Openness and vulnerability tend to lead to bonding and therefore the initial fear of just bedding down with a new cast becomes inconsequential.

Final Mix of Tracks

I had a great time with the very talented kids from The Academy of Performing Arts based in Yarm who came along to record some tracks with me a week ago.
We visited The Forum Music Centre, a cool hang out place with great facilities for song writers to get their work recorded in a pleasant and causal setting. The staff and engineers are really helpful and I can recommend you visit this space.
I wrote and arranged these tracks with these fantastic young performers in mind, and they really rose to the challenge of a full dyas recording. Our hard work is soon to be available on our album aptly entitled 'Friends and Fun Places'.

Senegal eye Jodar as coach
Senegal have offered the vacant managerial post to former Mali coach Jean Francois Jodar.
By Giscard Gourizsro
Last Updated: 16/12/08 5:45pm
Senegal have offered the vacant managerial post to former Mali coach Jean Francois Jodar.
Former Senegal coach Henryk Kasperczak resigned from his post in January following the Lions of Teranga's abysmal showing at the African Cup of Nations in Ghana.
After much deliberation the Senegalese FA have turned to Jodar in the hope the 59-year-old Frenchman, who had a brief two-year spell as Mali manager from 2006, will bring unity around the Senegalese squad.
The Senegal national side been in disarray since reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 2002 including an off-field spat between Sunderland's El Hadji Diouf and Mamadou Niang of Marseille.
And Jodar, who is expected to sign a two-year contract, has been drafted in to remedy the team spirit and help them qualify for the next African nations.
Despite eyeing up the prospect of taking on the difficult role, Jodar insists nothing is concrete just yet.
"It is a great challenge, I am thinking about it," Jodar told skysports.com
"There was an approach, but nothing (has been) decided yet."

Inessa Flerova and her family will be arriving in Vienna Monday and be in Israel Tuesday, it was reported Thursday by Lynn Singer, director of the Long Island Committee for Soviet Jewry. Singer said she received this information from Inessa's brother, Michael Shirman in Rehovot, Israel. Shirman, a leukemia victim, awaits the possibility of a bone-marrow transplant from his sister.
Singer said she will be in Vienna to greet the Flerov family as part of a delegation of Soviet Jewry activists who will be in the Austrian capital for the opening of the Helsinki Accords review conference.
"Until we physically greet them (the Flerov family) in Vienna, we cannot celebrate," Singer said. "We have to accept the Soviets' word up to this point, that the Flerov family could leave 'immediately' as of last Friday (October 24), will be 10 days later." Singer said Shirman repeatedly told his sister not to separate herself from her husband, Viktor, and their two daughters to come ahead of them.

The following is a press release from the offices of Councilman Vincent Gentile:
Scams of all kinds have historically involved a victim wiring cash to a stranger, but now that many consumers have gotten wise to that trick, scammers have found a new way for them to trick people into handing over their hard-earned cash: they're called "Green Dot" MoneyPak cards.
The cards themselves aren't the problem; "Green Dot" MoneyPak cards serve a very valuable purpose for some people who don't have bank accounts.
"Green Dot" cards are reloadable debit cards, available everywhere, and you can use them to pay your phone, cable, or credit card bill. Scammers like them because they're more convenient than a money wire and just as untraceable.
Here's how the "Green Dot" scam works:
A scammer posing as a debt collector calls and says they need payment immediately "or else!" The con artist then instructs the person to go to a Walgreens or Rite Aid and load a Green Dot MoneyPak card with the cash they supposedly owe. They are then told to scratch off the back and call with the secret PIN number on the card. Since Green Dot MoneyPak cards are not linked to bank accounts, anyone you share your card number with, has instant access to your cash and can siphon the card dry in a matter of seconds.
"Unfortunately, some of these swindlers have been successful at getting some of our local businesses to fork over thousands of dollars," Councilman Vincent J. Gentile said. "The scammer pretends to be calling from ConEd – and the next thing you know, the business owner has paid the con artist thousands of dollars because they were worried they'd shut their lights off if they didn't pay immediately. It's really despicable – especially for unsuspecting small businesses that are just trying to make ends meet."
Councilman Gentile has been working closely with Deputy Inspector Richard DiBlasio, the Commanding Officer of the 68 Precinct, in order to get the word out to as many people as possible about the scam.
"When it comes to scams, knowledge is power. Just by being aware, you can be your own first line of defense against these fraudsters."

Woods ended up with a comfortable margin over runner-up Kurt Caselli on a KTM 450 MXC. Two-time series champ Mike Kiedrowski claimed third on his Suzuki RM-Z450."It was an awesome day," Woods said. "Everything went my way today. My bike worked out great. Obviously, it was a big four-stroke track. Luckily, the rain this morning made the track really good, because it would've been a different race if it was dusty like it was the day before."Fourth went to Honda rider Bobby Garrison, while Russell Pearson charged past Montclair Yamaha teammate Ty Davis within sight of the finish to steal fifth.Mark Kariya | ContributorKariya spends way too much time in the desert, but we're glad he does as he's the man who gets us our coverage of all things sandy.

We added AM mode to the KX2 today, both transmit and receive. Its primary purpose is for SWL (short-wave listening), i.e. copying commercial AM stations. (Remember that the KX2's sensitivity drops off rapidly below 2 MHz due to protective high-pass filtering, so it wouldn't be your first choice for AM brodcast-band DXing.)

First Production KX3 Ships!
The first KX3 shipped today at 16:27 PDT. The picture above shows Lisa as she rushed out our front door to catch the postal service truck as it was driving by. We had missed today's postal pickup at our shipping dock, but someone noticed the truck down the street and we caught it before it got away.. Fortunately one of us (Eric) was able to rush out ahead of her to take this picture.
Please be patient as we ramp up production. For the next week we will be shipping small quantities as we begin manufacturing. We will then ramp up production over the next three weeks to our final production rate. Please resist the urge call or email us right now for your order shipping status, as that will overload our staff and slow KX3 shipments. (The phones are already pretty busy with new orders..) We will notify everyone just prior to their shipment to confirm everything.
We will also update the shipping status page regularly with the current order day that we are shipping. (Check your original order confirmation for the date.) December 27th was the first day we took KX3 orders and we received many hundreds that day, so we'll be working our way through those first day orders for the next several weeks.
We appreciate your patience as we have worked to get the KX3 ready to go out the door. Its a fantastic rig and we're looking forward to hearing your reports as you put it into action!
Wayne, Eric and the whole Elecraft team.

Coming Soon! KAT500 High Power Autotuner
The KAT500 is a new high power autotuner that can be used with both the K3/KPA500 and all other HF amplifiers and transceivers. The KAT500 uses the same topology and high performance tuning algorithms as the popular 100W autotuner in the K3. Typical matching range at 500-600W is up to 10:1 on most bands. (slightly less on 160m and 6M). This also equates to a range of 3:1 for higher power levels, up to 1200-1500 W.
The KAT500 has a front panel SWR display and three Switchable antenna outputs. It is the same width and depth as the K3 and the KPA500, and it is just 1.5" high.
We have the tuner the lab now for final testing and firmware optimization. We hope to have it ready to sell by the Dayton Hamvention in May, or earlier.

When your mom calls on the phone, she doesn't have to identify herself. The sound of her voice is immediately familiar--even if you haven't seen her for months. Can other animals recognize the sounds made by their kin without seeing them, even after long absences? It seems likely, but until lately there has been little evidence to prove it.
A new study of northern fur seals on Alaska´s Pribilof Islands provides such proof. Stephen Insley, a biologist until recently with the Smithsonian Institution, found that seal pups recognize and respond to the tape-recorded calls of their mothers (and vice versa) after months or even years of separation.
The seals live in the cold waters of the North Pacific and haul out on remote beaches in the Pribilofs and elsewhere to breed in the summer. Female fur seals, unlike most other mammals, leave their nursing offspring for days at a time and go off to fish. On returning, they must find their pups among hundreds of other young seals wedged together at the breeding colony.
"The need for vocal recognition is a matter of life and death during that period," says Insley. Mothers and pups also use sight and smell to help identify each other, but each animal has a distinctive call (for pups, a lamblike bleat) that sets it apart from its cohorts.
By marking seals, recording their calls and playing them back during subsequent summers, Insley discovered that the animals remember their kins' calls, even after four years. He's not sure why the seals retain the memories for so long. For long-distance phone calls, perhaps?

So, this > is the portion of the installer where I see the most room for > innovation.Hear! Hear! I work (for my sins) in an evangelically M$-only environment. Our IT Director has obviously read something in the newspapers recently about Linux, so he dusted off his "old" Vaio c-series & installed DeadRat, then brought it to me when it booted to Gnome & didn't set-up the circa 1180 x 480 screen resolution properly. Some things I found: - sendmail started at the default runlevel when I booted it up. - he was logging in to the GUI as root, and didn't even now how to get a virtual terminal using ctrl-alt-f1 - gcc wasn't installed and the VaioCam stuff needs installing from source. - RH8 allows you to copy the CD .iso files to hard-drive (in DOS for instance), boot from a floppy, and then continue the install from these HD images. Unfortunately, once the system is installed, the "control panel" package manager doesn't know where to look for CDs, and fails anytime you try to add packages. I couldn't find an option to change this at all, so ended up mounting the .iso files as `-o loop` (mind you, at least I learned something), running rpm from the CLI, and fulfilling dependencies by hand. Yeuch! It's cute & ironic that Gentoo is intended for "power-users", as against RH's ease-of-use, yet such a problem cannot arise with Gentoo. - I want a Vaio c-series Now, I rather like the current Gentoo install process, but I've been using Linux for a couple of years already. A friend with only Windows experience recently overheard me talking about Gentoo, and decided to try it. Because he does not live locally, I can't visit him to help when he has problems with his install, and I really feel I should have recommended Mandrake. We'll see how it goes when my friend resolves his present issue with an older CD-ROM drive resolved, but I would not complain if an installer: - helped with network card detection, and helped ensure that /etc/modules.autoload was suitable - saved typing when partitioning - automated the copying / extraction if the stage.tar files - did the chroot automatically - prompted the user for a root password - insisted on adding an initial user (making sure it gave that user wheel privileges, so the user can `su`) - offered to install a GUI of the user's choice from the KDE / Gnome grp tarballs - did NOT add xstart to the default run-level, but added info on how to do so to the MOTD. AFAICT configuring X can be a a bit complicated, and autodetection of hardware could be quite a task to write. So IMO, when the system is booted for the first time, it should go to the CLI, and newbie users can't complain if X doesn't handle their graphics card / monitor: the answer is "it's not intended to do that". - on the same theme, I'd like the installation process to disable root logins to the GUI. - some other stuff I can't think of at this time in the morning It arises however that Gentoo has some very nice features for its new users: - Gentoo installs a simple Unix system, with no bloat. This really is what Unix is about: I often read in Linux newsgroups posters asking "Why doesn't foo happen when I click bar in the network options box of the Linux control panel". So many GUI configuration tools are available in modern distros that they become, perhaps, less usable, and harder to support. Unix is NOT Windows - why do folks so often try to make it that way..? Equally I feel that Gentoo probably shouldn't be marketed as a first distro (and it's bit unfortunate that so many newbies consider themselves power-users & like the idea of a "small, tight, highly-optimised system", but have expections of GUI configuration tools). - Gentoo doesn't impose a particular GUI on you, or install 5. I remember finding the choice a bit overwhelming when I first tried Mandrake. - It's not Unix if cc isn't installed. I've met OS X sys admins who are afraid to install from source, and I remember my trepidation at the idea when I first started Linux. Gentoo overcomes this VERY well. So, anyway, I'm probably preaching to the converted here, and so wasting my breath. I usually try not to advocate operating systems. I guess I'm proposing balance in any installer that is written: if you don't try to make it do too much, I think you could be very successful. Stroller. -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

Dear all
I have missed all my blog friends immensely.
Seriously, I looked at the date and was wondering what I did from the last blog date onwards. It happened to so many people I know..they just wondered off blog-land. However, I have been encouraging my daughter, Emi, to start a blog. So what better way, then to revive this blog and help her kick start hers.
As you all know, I live here in Malaysia, we only have one season. Or two.
365 days of summer and towards end of the year, like now..it's wet as monsoon kicked in.
Our monsoon is probably winter to the rest of the countries with 4 seasons. I had been busy, but more lazy in blogging.
Next month, I have a trip coming up to Korea where the whole family is going. So, I want to self-kick-start and revive this miserable and lonely blog again on a few posts on Korea. It will be the family's first winter experience. What is normal (winter) to my buddies across the pond, will be something totally new for all of us. Before we could even embark on the trip, we already had to spend tons on all the winter clothing and there's so many things to buy! Bear in mind, we have zero winter clothing and mainly flip flops and all summery stuff to wear here. So, that's a huge gap in clothing there, plus limited shops selling them here. Naturally, anything connected to winter clothing is super expensive over here.
The children have been super excited to see snow for the first time. I am much less so because I don't really like very cold weather and wonder if I will even survive the trip in the first place. We have 3 nights up the moutains (brrr....I can almost feel the chill in my bones just thinking of it), and another 3 nights at capital city, Seoul. I am definitely very excited to see Seoul city, especially on the food and traditional houses part.
So, in a weeks plus+ , I will be off to Korea and seriously and secretly, I wished my husband had booked for Spring to see all those wonderful cherry blossoms in Korea...but for now, I have to look forward to the cold winter. Wish me luck :)

California in Crisis: Are People and Jobs Leaving for Better Pastures? - Audio
10:15 a.m. - 12:00 Noon
Much has been written lately about companies' unwillingness to invest or create new jobs in California. 2010 was the first census in which California did not add a member of Congress. Other states, including Texas, are seeing large influxes of new jobs and people. Some have suggested that California law (as passed by the legislature and as made by the courts) contributes to a negative business climate that discourages investment and job creation. This panel will look at California laws involving employment issues, tort liability, and environmental regulation and compare California's approach to those of other states, including Texas to determine whether the law has become an impediment to job creation in California.

Federalism and State Immigration Policy - Audio
2:15 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Arizona v. United States raises several cutting edge questions about federal preemption of state laws. These questions derive from Arizona's "mirror image theory" of the case. That is, Arizona argues that its statutes are a mirror image of federal statutes, and therefore that no preemption problem exists. In arguing against that theory, the federal government has voiced what has been unflatteringly called "preemption by executive whim." That is, that preemption can be created by federal executive branch enforcement (or, non-enforcement) priorities that essentially ignore enforcement of the statutes being mirrored. What do those competing claims mean in preemption analysis where, traditionally, courts have looked to the law as written/established, rather than as enforced?
Another big question here is whether a state may have specific policies where either (1) the federal government does not, or (2) the federal government is perceived to have failed in its policies. Arizona has expressly adopted a policy of "attrition through enforcement" in regard to illegal aliens. The federal government, on the other hand, has not ever adopted such a policy. As Ilya Shapiro put it, the national immigration system "is a remnant of various half-baked 'reforms' going back decades, it's a schizophrenic set of laws that don't advance any particular goal or mission." Does a "policyless" federal system conflict with a state system that has a policy? Does it matter if that policy is "attrition through enforcement" or "sanctuary cities"? Moreover, does the federal government's "failure" to have a workable or actual policy free a state to derive its own policy, at least where that vacuum of federal power is seen as having specific negative effects on the state?

When he left school in 2002, Jason Johnson was the most prolific quarterback in Arizona history. He threw for 3,327 yards that season and, in two years as the starting QB, threw 35 touchdown passes, by far the most in school history at that time.
But Johnson wasn't drafted by the NFL. He spent three seasons playing football in Europe and then put his degree from the UA's Eller College of Management to work.
Today, Johnson is the president and creative director of Jason Ryan Creative, and, among other projects, is working for ESPN.
He has produced and filmed ESPN's new "Draft Academy" series that follows five players through the NFL draft process. Johnson spent considerable time with South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney, Central Florida's Blake Bortles, Washington's Bishop Sankey, USC's Marqise Lee and cornerback Pierre Desir of Division II Lindenwood College.
Johnson and Lee flew to South Carolina last week to film an Under Armour commercial.
"It definitely feels like I've come full circle looking back to when ESPN filmed 'The Season' on us during my junior year (2001)," Johnson said. "I always knew this is what I wanted to do when I got done playing and actually got my start learning from that ESPN crew. It's pretty interesting I'm now on the other end of things."
Johnson was a terrific college football player whose timing — the John Mackovic years — was bad. Johnson won the Woody Hayes Award as the top NCAA Division I scholar-athlete while at Arizona and made the best of his days as a Wildcat.

Sterling Sharpe sees it. The man knows talent, be it on a football field or a golf course.
For two days in Hilton Head Island, S.C., Sharpe, a former wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers, played alongside Tim Hegarty in an eGolf Professional Tour event.
Both players missed the cut, but Sharpe, now an analyst for the NFL Network, saw enough over 36 holes to be convinced Hegarty has the talent to play this game at a high level.
"I've been around a lot of professional golfers, and he can play with those guys, he has that kind of game," Sharpe said. "He definitely has the length, long and straight, can move the ball both ways.
"But if there is one thing I noticed, from a competitor's standpoint, he's too hard on himself. Go lighter on yourself, man."
When told of Sharpe's assessment, Hegarty paused and said, "Yeah, that pretty much sounds about right."
During the second round of the event in Hilton Head, Hegarty was even par for the day until an errant shot led to double bogey on the par-5 11th. That begat bogey on 12, which begat bogey on 13, which begat bogey on 14.
"Obviously, I have to get better in that area," Hegarty said of the emotional aspect of the game. "I once heard, I believe it was (former PGA Tour professional) Cliff Kresge say, 'The guys who make it out here are the guys who don't beat themselves up.'
"I just know what I'm capable of doing – that's the frustrating part. It would be one thing if I didn't think I could win a tournament at this level or at least put myself into contention, but I know I can. My expectations are high."
Sharpe understands. His competitive drive led to five Pro Bowl appearances in seven years, 65 career touchdowns and the receiving Triple Crown in 1992 (league leader in receptions, yards and touchdowns).
He was blazing a path to Canton, Ohio before a neck injury prematurely ended his career in 1994. Nowadays, he uses golf to fill that competitive void. While other retired athletes are playing the sport with buddies for beer money (or slightly more), Sharpe is a regular in pro-ams and occasionally tees it up in mini-tour events.
"I want to know if everything I'm working on, on the range, translates during competition, under the gun," said Sharpe, a University of South Carolina football legend who currently works with former Georgia Tech and South Carolina golf coach Puggy Blackmon.
"I want to learn how to play golf inside the ropes. It can't do anything but make me a better player."
Sharpe retains his amateur status. This allows him to play in the pro-am portion of the Bob Hope Classic each year, as well as the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am on the Champions Tour and the BMW Charity Pro-Am on the Nationwide Tour. And, as he said with a hearty laugh, "Man, I don't need that kind of stress (playing for money). I've got a job. Let them worry with that stuff."
For the record, Sharpe shot 86-75 in his home state event.
"I've been going through some swing changes. In the first round I wasn't really sure where things were going, but I got more comfortable with it (in Round 2)," Sharpe said. "That was more like it."
It's not unusual to play alongside someone with a well credentialed past on the mini-tour trail – perhaps a recent All-American; maybe a former PGA Tour member, even a past winner.
But legitimate Hall of Fame candidates – whether for golf or another sport – are rarer than red diamonds.
Hegarty, a New York Jets fan to the nth degree, delighted in the luck of the draw. He and the third member of their group, Tim Cantwell, spent two days talking shop with Sharpe, while Sharpe did the same.
"We had a great time," Sharpe said. "I kept asking them questions about golf and they wanted to talk to me about football."
"We talked about everything, from (current Green Bay quarterback Aaron) Rodgers vs. (former Green Bay quarterback Brett) Favre to his chances of making the Hall of Fame," Hegarty said.
"I also congratulated him on an awesome week. The tournament was right after the Packers had won the Super Bowl and his brother (former tight end Shannon Sharpe) had just been inducted into the Hall of Fame. You could tell by his reaction that he was really appreciative that someone took notice of such a big week for his family."
The same can be said of Hegarty when it was relayed to him that Sharpe learned something from their grouping.
"The one thing I picked up, is that they (Hegarty and Cantwell) are very committed when they get over a shot. They may talk and have fun in between shots, but it's all business when it's time to hit. That's something I need to be able to do," Sharpe said.
Responded Hegarty, with great sincerity: " That's pretty cool."
"You know," he added, "this is something that I'll have for the rest of my life (playing alongside Sharpe). It was a great opportunity. I mean, it's Sterling Sharpe – my best friend used to have his jersey."
Up next for Hegarty is a pre-qualifier for the PGA Tour's Transitions Championship in Tampa, Fla. For those not in the know, some players have to qualify just to get into a Tour's Monday qualifier.
If that doesn't work out, he'll compete in the Ocala Open, in Ocala, Fla., March 16-18, and then some Moonlight tour events before picking back up with the eGolf Tour at the end of April.
Hegarty played a one-day Moonlight event last week and shot 69. After his $100 entry fee, his net profit was 15 bucks.
"You're not going to make much money doing those things, but it's a good way to make a little bit of extra cash, if you play well, and play competitively," he said. "I want the practice. I want to be able to work on my problem areas."
"This is a big summer for me. I've got some Tarheel (former name of the eGolf Professional Tour) events, some qualifiers in New York (such as for the U.S. Open). I have to practice harder, prepare the best I can," Hegarty said.
"I've got to stop doing the things I've been doing and play the way I'm capable of playing."

>> THE MODELIZER —Is Agyness Deyn putting a check on all her exposure recently, or is she just sitting out most of this runway season? She has yet to set foot on a Paris catwalk — not even for her friend Gareth Pugh — and only walked Burberry in Milan. It's all suspect: She was in Paris yesterday, but this evening, she's back in London for a Burberry dinner with Christopher Bailey.
UPDATE: According to her good friend Henry Holland, Agyness is sitting out due to a bad case of bronchitis. She sure has bad luck with sickness — last Fashion Month, she was taken by pink eye. [Grazia]

Vocal Masterclass Featuring Soprano Dominique Labelle, April 11
Early Music Now announces a masterclass for classical singers to be taught by soprano Dominique Labelle at the Wisconsin Women's Club, 813 East Kilbourn Ave., on Friday, April 11th, from 3:00-5:00.
Singers interested in participating in this masterclass are invited to submit a professional resume along with titles of two choices for coaching during the session (submission of a sound recording is optional) to email@example.com. Although any repertoire will be considered, early music or Baroque selections are preferred. A professional accompanist will be provided. To take best use of the available time, all repertoire must be totally memorized and prepared to performance level.
Deadline for applications is March 24th, with notification of acceptance by April 1st. There is no registration fee for participation, and the sessions are open to the general public without charge.
Dominique Labelle first came to international prominence as Donna Anna in Peter Sellar's daring production of Mozart's Don Giovanni, set in Spanish Harlem, which she performed in New York, Paris, and Vienna. She has also won great acclaim for her portrayal of Micaela in Bizet's Carmen: "You would have to go back to the young Mirella Freni to find a Micaela to rival the golden-throated Labelle . . . her singing is enough to give you religion," wrote Richard Dyer of the Boston Globe.
For further information about this masterclass or other Milwaukee appearances by members of Four Nations Ensemble, please contact Charles Q. Sullivan at email@example.com or 414.225.3113.

Fenerbahce put faith in Euro 2008 winners
ISTANBUL, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Fenerbahce aim to ride a wave of success enjoyed at Euro 2008 by their Spanish recruits, coach Luis Aragones and striker Daniel Guiza, when the Turkish league season starts this weekend.
Fenerbahce, who begin against Gaziantepspor, will be bidding to wrest the title back from Galatasaray after their Istanbul rivals won it for the 17th time in May - equalling Fenerbahce's record.
Guiza will lead the attack with Semih Senturk, who also has fond memories of a Euro 2008 tournament won by Aragones's Spain, having scored three goals in Turkey's run to the semi-finals.
Saturday's opener follows a faltering start in Europe last week, with Fenerbahce trailing 2-0 to Partizan Belgrade after just 15 minutes of their Champions League third qualifying round, first leg.
But goals from Brazilian playmaker Alex and Guiza earned them a 2-2 draw, reinforcing the image created at Euro 2008 of Turkish sides as masters of the comeback.
With the second leg looming next week, Fenerbahce will be hoping to repeat or even improve on last season's place in the quarter-finals, where they lost to Chelsea.
Uncertainty remains over the future of the club's Serbian striker Mateja Kezman, while the midfield will be boosted by the arrival of Emre Belozoglu from Newcastle United.
Galatasaray, who open against Denizlispor, have also been busy in the transfer market, with new coach Michael Skibbe from Bayer Leverkusen making the notable signing of Harry Kewell after an injury-plagued five years at Liverpool.
The Australian has already answered local critics, earning the media nickname "Magician Kewell" by scoring one goal and setting up the other during a 25-minute appearance in the club's 2-1 Super Cup victory over Kayserispor on Sunday.
Skibbe, who has replaced German coach Karl-Heinz Feldkamp, will be looking to Arda Turan to orchestrate the attack after the midfielder shone at Euro 2008, scoring two goals.
Striker Shabani Nonda has shown early promise by scoring twice in last week's 2-2 draw against Steaua Bucharest in the Champions League qualifiers.
The first leg game exposed the vulnerability in Galatasaray's defence, which Skibbe has tried to strengthen with the signing of Fernando Meira from VfB Stuttgart and Alparslan Erdem from Werder Bremen.
The third major Istanbul club, Besiktas, will again face an uphill battle to win the title which they last claimed in 2003.
Coach Ertugrul Saglam has brought in the Czech duo from Udinese, midfielder Tomas Sivok and defender Tomas Zapotocny.

The Cure Releasing New Album, Plotting More 'Trilogy' Shows
The Cure have announced the upcoming release of their 14th studio album and promised a series of 'Trilogy' shows — wherein they revisit three classic albums from front to back — in late 2014.
The British legends recorded the new record, tentatively titled '4:14 Scream,' while working on their last album, 2008's '4:13 Dream.' Few other details have surfaced, but the new album will apparently arrive in the next few months, and a live DVD is slated to accompany its release.
The third round of 'Trilogy' shows will reportedly take Robert Smith and co. around the world and feature the LPs 'The Top,' 'The Head On The Door' and 'Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me,' all played in their entirety.
In 2002, the Cure's inaugural 'Trilogy' shows brought full-album performances of 'Pornography,' 'Disintegration' and 'Bloodflowers,' while 2011's installments highlighted 'Three Imaginary Boys,' 'Seventeen Seconds' and 'Faith.'

When freelance journalist Annie Fast got the call from Outside Online to write an article rebutting the recent news that 'snowboarding is dead,' she called on SIA Research Director Kelly Davis for help with the data. Her February 7 article, "Snowboarding Lives! (Long Live Snowboarding!) How Reports of the Sport's Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated," draws on the most recent SIA data as well as National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) participation data, and was published as a counterpoint to Marc Peruzzi's January 27 Outside Online article, "Can Snowboarding Be Saved?"
As a lifelong snowboarder, journalist, and former Editor-In-Chief of TransWorld SNOWboarding magazine, Fast was well suited to write the rebuttal piece that finally got the facts out. "My main goal was to be sure the information was rock solid in my article," she said. "I worked very hard to verify everything and I really appreciate the help of Kelly Davis at SIA and Nate Fristoe at NSAA. Their help was invaluable in being sure I was presenting a strong argument."
Regarding the original piece by Peruzzi, and how Fast came to write the rebuttal, Nick Heil, Outside Online's chief editor, said, "We knew Marc's article was forceful and strongly positioned, but it's an issue that a lot of people thought needed to be addressed. We ran it through our standard fact checking process and we felt confident he had done his due diligence. We're OK with writers having a strong op-ed perspective as long as they have the evidence to back their claims. We had talked about doing a response piece and Annie seemed like the perfect person to do it, with her strong snowboarding background. She's a great journalist, a great writer and we felt she could produce a rebuttal as strong as Marc's piece. We look at it as a point-counterpoint, and we felt like we dealt with both sides fairly—even if it did rankle on both sides."
Fast said she's been surprised by all of the recent articles that have come out sounding the death knell for snowboarding, and none have been more surprising than the one she was called on to rebut. "It all started with the New York Times article ("Has Snowboarding Lost Its Edge?"), which I thought dealt with the data pretty fairly," she said. "But the most influential was the one in the Durango Herald ("Whither the Snowboarders?"), which was picked up by AP and was reprinted everywhere. When I dug into the statistics, I couldn't find where they'd gotten some of these numbers. Nate Fristoe couldn't verify the participation stats; they were completely false. From there, people started making subjective leaps about how snowboarding participation was in steep decline, how it was now uncool, how snowboarders were turning into skiers. It got to be annoying because there were no studies showing that any of this data was supported. After that, the Outside Online article was the last straw for me."
Davis shares Fast's surprise at the way this 'snowboarding is dead' drumbeat has gained traction, as well as her assertion that Peruzzi's article was inaccurate. "Here at SIA, we supply extremely detailed data and we are always here to help people understand the numbers," she said. "It is our hope that the data is understood and used correctly. Writing an opinionated piece while discounting the facts is problematic because it may introduce a bias into market data."
Dan Sullivan, CEO of Rome Snowboards and an SIA Board Member, agrees with Fast's assessment that the situation has gotten out of control. "The thing that frustrates me the most is the people it reaches," he said. "These are people who aren't involved in the sport every day, and who can't see the reality out on the mountain. They have no reason not to believe that snowboarding is done, and they're calling me with condolences. The Outside article specifically was so subjective, but it wasn't presented as an op-ed. It was simply not based in fact at all. I can't understand why they printed it. Thankfully Annie's article was tremendously well written, and it's the best rebuttal for all the libeling articles that have been coming out lately. SIA, in my opinion, has the best data out there, and kudos to Annie for working with Kelly and setting the record straight."
In her interview with SIA, Fast concluded: "Thanks to Nate and Kelly, I feel I presented a really strong argument that shows the state of snowboarding is nowhere near as dire as people are saying it is. This article is solid and I'm glad I got the opportunity to speak on behalf of snowboarding."
