ted (Tiny EDitor) is a lightweight commandline text editor designed for scripting. It's intended to be an easier-to-use alternative to "ed". It is lightweight, scriptable, and easily harnessed by shell scripts, but doesn't suffer from the chronic user-unfriendliness that characterizes ed. It is also slightly more featureful than ed, and includes multiple editing buffers and built-in script handling.

Olusola (Sola) Abiodun, seasoned software engineer and Intulon owner, channels his unexpected passions for engineering and the arts into conversation-worthy side tables.
SEATTLE, Feb. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sola Abiodun is a software engineer for a Fortune 100 company by day. By night, and during any free time, this creative soul trades his coding skills to create custom, Art Deco -inspired side tables. To fund his high style project, Abiodun launched an IndieGoGo campaign in hopes of raising $10,000 by March 7, 2014.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140213/CG64142)
Abiodun also channels his energy into his app development project hub, Intulon. Always tinkering with a project, he recently debuted the fun and free Social Countdown that allows people to create and share a precise timer to their next major life event - down to the second. But, with a stroke of the unexpected, his tech-savvy Intulon blog also touts his colorful oil paintings. Yet painting isn't his only unexpected artistic pursuit. According to his blog, he's chiseled yet another left brain/right brain project into his off-duty schedule: woodworking.
How did this unlikely project come about? Abiodun admits that he's passionate about an "odd combination of arts and software/electronics engineering." Yet he uses his diverse interests to his advantage. He explains, "This combination led to me building (well - buying, dismantling, and rebuilding to my specs) a CNC machine which combined with some early 3D modeling on Blender, finally lead to these beautiful side tables." The resulting tables, with Art Deco cityscapes and geometric prints, reflect both Abiodun's streamlined, engineering mind and his artistic sensibilities.
The beauty is more than surface deep. Abiodun outlines the quality construction of each solid oak table by succinctly listing what they do not include, "No MDF or particle board. No veneer." Most impressive, he says, "All wood grain patterns are real." The tables are also sturdy and durable. With the ability to hold 310 pounds, each custom piece could easily double as an impromptu chair during a party. And a hand-applied polyurethane layer delivers "second-to-none surface durability."
Abiodun admits that he's testing the waters with his IndieGoGo campaign. Successfully hitting his $10,000 goal will embolden him to upgrade his table project from hobby to something more. Perks start at a $25 for a "I Want to See this Happen!" gift, and range up to a $1,500 contribution for two custom tables. Contributors who qualify for the custom tables are invited to browse the Intulon Art Deco catalog to select colors and design inspiration. "I will work with you to turn your design into a suitable pattern for the table. Please note that most designs will have to be reduced to an outline for this to work," explains Abiodun.
About Intulon Art Deco: Intulon Art Deco is a high-style project by Olusola (Sola) Abiodun. With decades as a Fortune 500 software engineer and app developer, Abiodun also pursues oil painting and woodworking in his free time. The sturdy, custom Art Deco-inspired tables are available at http://artdeco.intulon.com/.

Blind dating. Speed dating. Online dating. You've tried everything in your shameless quest to find the perfect man.
So you'll totally relate to When in Rome. The new film stars Kristen Bell as an ambitious, relationship-challenged New Yorker who takes a whirlwind trip to Rome. There she defiantly steals coins from a fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of the men who threw them in.
Her new suitors include a sausage magnate (Danny DeVito), a street magician (Jon Heder), an adoring painter (Will Arnett), and a self-admiring model (Dax Shepard). But when a charming reporter (Josh Duhamel) pursues her with equal zest, she'll have to determine if it's the work of the coins or the real thing.
Which is still easier than online dating.
When in Rome opens this Friday. Check local listings for showtimes.

My Ex Posted "Revenge Porn" Photos Of Me
"Next to the stills was a screenshot of my Facebook page, with my name, location, and profile picture..."
By Rhoda Kelly
"Time heals." "Forgive and forget." "Move on." Those are the breakup rules, right? But it might be time to come up with some new advice — advice that addresses more permanent damage. I couldn't tell myself any of those things when I broke up with my ex-boyfriend, because I once made a mistake when I was drunk. And that mistake ended up on the internet.
This is how it happened: I started dating Rob toward the end of high school. He was five years my senior. He added me on Myspace, and we talked online occasionally. Then, after hanging out in real life only a handful of times, he insisted that we become a couple. To me, we barely knew each other, but his explanation was that he didn't want to be hooking up with me (that is, kissing — I was a virgin when we started dating) if I was going to be "slutting it up" with other guys. Rob liked to say things like that. Later, I would berate him for his language, and he would tell me he was kidding and to stop being such an "uptight feminist." But at seventeen, I didn't read into it — I liked him. He played guitar in a punk band and was a gifted graphic designer. He was quiet and cynical, but sweet to me.
Fast-forward three years, after the initial sweetness diluted considerably, and what was left was a controlling, territorial, sardonic, and deeply troubled man who I knew I had to leave, but who by then was like an extension of me. We both struggled with psychological disorders: I was diagnosed with major depression when I was nineteen, and he would have such severe depressive episodes that he couldn't get out of bed to go to work many days. Or he'd stay awake for two weeks straight because of his recurring nightmares about being abducted by aliens. Once, believing me to be an alien, he lay in my bed sobbing uncontrollably. Later, I looked up alien-abduction dreams and found that many studies pointed to childhood sexual abuse as a cause; after we broke up, he told me that he had in fact been molested as a child.
To the rest of the world, though, Rob's stoicism was his defining quality. He was born in Peru and moved to the States when he was nine, and his culture discouraged exposing one's feelings. He claimed to loathe melodrama, and his facial expressions were as varied as a turtle's. Rob almost never cried, but when he did, it was in front of me. His sobs disturbed me; they sounded as though he were being tortured. But I knew a thing or two about sadness and I took comfort in being able to comfort him.
By the time I was twenty, though, I'd grown tired of being his therapist, his mother, his résumé builder, his best friend, and his girlfriend. The day I broke up with him, he cut himself with a kitchen knife while on the phone with me. I hung up and called an ambulance, and he was admitted into the psych ward at the Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen, New Jersey. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and I maintained my distance from him after that. My instinct was to tend to him, but my family, friends, and therapist advised me that doing so would only make things worse.
I found out later that he'd cheated on me — was in full-fledged relationships — with no fewer than four women while we were together. While it was upsetting, I wasn't entirely surprised, as Rob constantly accused me of cheating on him. If I went out with my friends, he would call me drunk in the middle of the night, demanding to know "who I was fucking." He always apologized the next day, but the expectation of those calls weighed on me. I'd opt to stay home on Friday nights if we hadn't made plans, because just the anticipation of the fight we'd have if I went out made me feel sick. But his paranoia was always hovering. He'd taken my virginity, and so he felt that he had some ownership over my body.
A few months before I ended our relationship, Rob filmed us having sex on his MacBook. I didn't want him to do this. He pleaded with me for months.
"What's the big deal? Don't you want to keep our sex life exciting?"
"We've been together so long. I don't want to get bored."
"Why not? You don't trust me?"
I tried to trust him, even though he never trusted me, because I thought that was how healthy relationships worked. This logic makes little sense to me now as I write this, but when you're committed to someone, you convince yourself. People have fantasies, and this wasn't a particularly weird one; I just didn't want to do it. I worried about how much time Rob spent on 4chan, the website where users can upload pictures anonymously, and where some of the most popular internet memes originated. The 4chan community is notorious for speaking in a language of inside jokes, and for their particular brand of schadenfreude. Many users post items for no other reason than to humiliate — in 4chan lingo, "for the lulz," a phrase Rob liked to use.
Plus, I could hear my mother's voice in my head: "Don't ever let anyone take dirty pictures of you! The internet is a scary place!" My mom obsessively recorded segments of the news that focused on teen sexting, child pornography, abduction after meeting people online, and stolen identities. Like many baby-boomer parents, she never trusted the internet; meanwhile, my generation often confided in it more than in our closest friends. We'd grown up with this confessional space where we could offer intimate parts of ourselves that would be too presumptuous or narcissistic or weird to share in real life. But if your pictures did end up on the internet, it wasn't for want of fair warnings.
Rob persisted, and I laughed him off, until one night, when we were back at his apartment after a party. I was drunk. The experience is hazy in my memory. We were having sex, and the next thing I knew, he was setting up his laptop on the bed. I slurred, "I told you I didn't want to make a video." He said, "Come on," and I was too drunk, too tired to argue.
Afterward, he promised me he'd deleted it, and I fell asleep. The next morning I searched his laptop for evidence of the video, just in case, and there was none.
We broke up six months later, and by the end of a hellish summer, I hoped that I could get back to a normal life. But that didn't happen. In October, I went on a date with Adam, whom I'd met on a dating site. Because it went so well, and because it seemed like I'd made a real connection with another man for the first time in almost four years, I felt okay bringing him back to my apartment that night.
In the morning, I left for work, and Adam stayed in bed. I was mortified when I got the text from him a few hours later: "Hey girl, did you know that there are pictures of you on the internet?"
NEXT: "Looking in the mirror, walking outside, seeing my byline on blog posts became awkward..."

Special 10th Anniversary Edition - Fall 2003
What You Can Learn from Recent Bank Failures
These types of deposit accounts (sometimes called testamentary, Totten trust or In-Trust-For accounts) can provide for expanded insurance coverage, but the rules can be complicated. Each beneficiary's share of a POD account can be insured up to $100,000 ($200,000 if there are two beneficiaries, $300,000 if there are three, and so on) but the beneficiary must be the grantor/depositor's spouse, child, grandchild, parent or sibling. Other relatives, such as nieces, nephews, cousins or in-laws, as well as friends, do not qualify.
If you name a non-qualifying beneficiary, the portion payable to that person would be added to any accounts you have at the bank in the single (or individual) account category and the total will be insured to $100,000.
The Lesson: If you've got POD deposits over $100,000, be aware of whom you've listed as beneficiaries, review your insurance coverage and make adjustments if necessary.
Retirement Accounts:
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are added together and insured up to $100,000 separately from your other types of deposits at the same bank. It's common, however, to find customers with retirement funds over the limit.
Some people take a large, lump-sum distribution from a pension fund and deposit it into one account simply because they didn't realize they could (and needed to) divide that money among different financial institutions to keep it insured. Other people mistakenly believe that adding beneficiaries will increase insurance coverage.
The Lesson: To fully protect your retirement funds, don't have more than $100,000 of your retirement money at any one FDIC-insured institution.
Joint Accounts:
The FDIC insures each person's share in all joint accounts at an institution up to $100,000. Even though the joint account rules are straightforward, recent bank failures indicate that there are still depositors exceeding the insurance limit.
The Lesson: You cannot increase your insurance coverage by changing the order of the names or Social Security numbers on the accounts, changing the wording from "and" to "or" in joint account titles, or opening new joint accounts at different branches of the same bank. The FDIC will simply add your share of all the joint accounts at the same institution and insure the total up to $100,000.

April 10, 2014 - Beautiful shirt - great quality.
April 4, 2014 - Very happy with my t-shirt, it is made very well. I got the brown, love the colors. When I ordered there was only a choice of either the brown or blue. Since I have not ordered shirts on here before I usually buy either a large or extra large so I ordered the XXL and it was bigger than I thought it would be, could've gotten by with the XL. I would rather have it to big than to small prefer looser anyway. Its hard to buy online as you can't try them on and its hard to know what size to get it's a chance you take, I made the right choice. I will buy more tee-shirts from here now. Have had many compliments on this tee-shirt.
March 28, 2014 - Very nice, high quality tee-shirt. The tee-shirt appears to be true to size. I ordered it as a gift for a friend who wears a small but doesn't like shirts to fit too snugly. This tee-shirt was just right - not tight but didn't swallow her, either. I would definitely order this again. I ordered the brown with the blue print and it is very striking.
March 10, 2014 - Quality Shirt - I love the message but was uncertain about whether the shirt would be worth the money. My shirt has now been worn and washed a few times. The size was accurate to start and after wearing and washing it retains its color and size. Good value!
February 19, 2014 - Got the brown one. Love the colors.Being 100% cotton, I purchased a size larger to allow for shrinkage......but it didn't shrink! Love it anyway. Plenty of room to layer an aqua long sleeved crew or t-neck underneath. Excellent quality.

EL CAJON, Calif.—Police are breaking a seven-month silence in their investigation of an Iraqi-American woman who was found beaten to death in her suburban San Diego home.
The El Cajon Police Department called a news conference Friday afternoon to discuss the case. Spokesman Lt. Mark Coit declines to provide any details in advance.
The killing of 32-year-old Shaima Alawadi in March drew international attention after her daughter told reporters she found a note by her mother's body that said, "Go back to your country, you terrorist."
Police said in a search warrant affidavit that detectives found a suspicious text message on the 17-year-old daughter's phone.

How to configure Joomla 2.5 error.php timezone
By default, logs written to Joomla's logs/error.php file are written in UTC time. There may be instances however when you need for Joomla to log using the server's timezone and not UTC time. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to update a Joomla 2.5 core file to adjust the timezone in logs/error.php
Please note: If you are simply trying to adjust the timezone in Joomla 2.5, please see How to change the timezone in Joomla 2.5. This article (the one you're looking at now) focuses on changing the timezone that Joomla uses when writing to error logs.
To change the timezone in Joomla's logs/error.php log file:
- Use your favorite file editor and open for edit libraries/joomla/log/entry.php
At line 98, you will see the following code:
// Get the date as a JDate object.
$this->date = new JDate($date ? $date : 'now');
Adjust this code so that it looks similar to the following:
// Get the date as a JDate object.
// $this->date = new JDate($date ? $date : 'now');
$this->date = new JDate(date("Y-m-d H:i:s"));
- Save the file, and you're done! Joomla's logs/error.php will now record errors with your server's current timezone.
We value your feedback!
There is a step or detail missing from the instructions.
The information is incorrect or out-of-date.
It does not resolve the question/problem I have.

They say the early bird catches the worm, but night owls may be missing far more than just a tasty snack. Researchers have discovered evidence of structural brain differences that distinguish early risers from people who like to stay up late. The differences might help explain why night owls seem to be at greater risk of depression.
About 10 percent of people are morning people, or larks, and 20 percent are night owls, with the rest falling in between. Your status is called your chronotype.
Previous studies have suggested that night owls experience worse sleep, feel more tiredness during the day and consume greater amounts of tobacco and alcohol. This has prompted some to suggest that they are suffering from a form of chronic jet lag.
Jessica Rosenberg at RWTH Aachen University in Germany and colleagues used a technique called diffusion tensor imaging to scan the brains of 16 larks, 23 night owls and 20 people with intermediate chronotypes. They found a reduction in the integrity of night owls' white matter — brain tissue largely made up of fatty insulating material that speeds up the transmission of nerve signals — in areas associated with depression.
"We think this could be caused by the fact that late chronotypes suffer from this permanent jet lag," Rosenberg says, although she cautions that further studies are needed to confirm cause and effect.

Smartphones need kill switches. It's a relatively easy solution to the pricey (and irritating) problem of smartphone theft.

The cooperative spirit! It makes so much sense!

Laurie Kutner
Library associate professor
- 04-09-2010
- By Megan Morley Thomas
Whether studying utopian communities or the mating rituals of the Resplendent Quetzal, people have been traveling to Monteverde, Costa Rica for decades to conduct original, primary research. In fact, the small, mountain community is a research hot spot for scholars from across the disciplines.
But it's the location's shortcomings — specifically what it can't offer researchers studying there — that make it particularly fascinating to UVM library associate professor Laurie Kutner.
More about Laurie Kutner:
Kutner spent six months of 2007 living in Monteverde while on sabbatical, researching the research community itself in an attempt to find out how scholars access the secondary sources they need when conducting primary research in the more remote locations of the world.
A "paradox of access"
Kutner's research found that those who have the least access are the independent researchers living full-time in Monteverde, publishing cutting-edge articles in journals like Science and Nature. Those with the most access are the students studying abroad for a semester or less.
"The overarching theme of everything I'm doing," Kutner says, "is global information inequality — the challenges that most of the world faces in terms of getting information, any kind of information, and how that really affects the larger society."
With a strong desire to be more than just another researcher, Kutner made it a part of her sabbatical goals to incorporate service into her work in Monteverde. That opportunity came in the form of a library project at the Monteverde Institute, which she used as her base of operations.
When Kutner discovered that the institute's library holdings were not catalogued and had no digital presence, she knew she could help.
So Kutner created a website for the library, and, with the help of two graduate students from Syracuse University, she created a digital library of free and publicly available Monteverde-based research.
Organizing all of those documents in one place, Kutner feels, is perhaps her single greatest contribution to the information world. "There was a lot of immediate appreciation for that," she recalls, "which was really cool."

– The North Georgia softball team put a lid on one of the
most memorable regular seasons in NCAA Division II history as the
top-ranked Saints swept Lander University 8-0 and 9-0 to enter
postseason as the only undefeated team in the country.
After the conclusion of the doubleheader, the Saints honored four seniors playing in their final regular season games for North Georgia as Leslee Smith, Courtney McGuire, Jessica Skeels, and Laura Voyles were recognized by the packed house at Haines & Carolyn Hill Stadium.
The Saints close the regular season as the only undefeated team in the history of the Peach Belt Conference at 41-0 overall and 20-0 in the league. Lander University falls to .500 overall at 22-22 on the season, while moving to 8-12 in PBC action.
With the doubleheader sweep, North Georgia has now set the Peach Belt Conference's all-time mark for consecutive wins at 41, a record previously held by the 1995 Kennesaw State Owls.
The Saints also broke the PBC's all-time record for most conference wins in a season, tying the mark after a game-one victory and setting the league mark at 20-0 with the nightcap victory, the first team in conference history to reach the 20-win plateau.
In game one, North Georgia jumped all over the Bearcats with single runs in each of the first two innings before a six spot in the fourth frame proved to be all the offense hurler Sarah Phillips would need in the 8-0 five-inning victory.
Hits were up and down the Saints' lineup with eight of the nine hitters picking up base knocks, led by Voyles who set the table at the leadoff spot with three hits, two runs, and a pair batted in. Designated hitter Smith also drove in two runs with a hit in three attempts.
Game two was all about the long ball as McGuire went deep in the opening inning to put the Saints on top 2-0. Skeels followed in the second frame with a two-run blast of her own to make it 4-0, before Natasha Willemse made it back-to-back bombs with a solo shot down the left field to give North Georgia a 5-0 second-inning advantage.
The Saints then tallied a four spot in the fourth inning to clinch their second straight five-inning victory. Smith came up with the game-winner with a two-run double to make it a 9-0 game and give North Georgia the doubleheader sweep.
Phillips (34-0) picked up victories in both games, recording her third and fourth consecutive complete games as the junior allowed single hits in both games while striking out four in the opener and three more in the nightcap.
North Georgia and Lander will battle again on Friday morning, as the two teams will tangle in the first round of the 2010 Peach Belt Conference tournament in Florence, South Carolina. First pitch between the Saints and Bearcats is set for 11:00 a.m. as North Georgia looks to repeat as PBC tournament champions.

Oregon State Parks and Beaches new rules & Fee Hikes!
Re: Oregon State Parks and Beaches new rules & Fee Hikes!
Phil makes a great point, seek out the controlling forces; embrace the opportunity to educate them and things will be easier. On Antelope Island, not only are all kites and kite fliers welcome, the rangers out on the island will ask if you need any help transporting your gear. When I know I am heading out there, a call to the gate house and they don't charge me to come out and fly. Point is, where ever you fly, be aware of those who surround you, invite them to check your stuff out, it will pay dividends in the long run.
My opinion goes along with what Ron has suggested; this is a money issue for the state. It will not be easy to overcome. Get to know whose running things in the more common areas that are flown. (Bring donuts every time you go out) Once an entity get's it in their head that there is something to gain from this, it will be hard to beat. Could be that an overwhelming letter campaign might not be the answer; it could trigger an even stronger push for the new regulations. David G. knows this area and the officials who run it, I would recommend a measured, calm and low emotional response until facts are better known.

Re: Oregon State Parks and Beaches new rules & Fee Hikes!
Point taken. However, in this case it appears the pressure to restrict activity is coming from further up the food chain....
Re: Oregon State Parks and Beaches new rules & Fee Hikes!
The link in the first post that points to a FB note by Amy Doran doesn't appear to be working right now. It would be nice to see one "official" location for everything related to this. Pasting things into this forum discussion might be an appropriate location.
I have been reading everything I can find. This issue is way bigger than just flying kites on the beach or in the parks. The rules are very ambiguous and leave way too much to local interpretation - despite the stated purpose being to insure consistency.
From my reading, the annual gathering at the beach for crab fishing by my extended family could be interpreted to require a permit, insurance, and certified lifeguards. I don't think that is what the authors of the draft intended - but the wording allows the local staff to demand it.
A permit makes sense when an event or group wants to reserve space for their exclusive use, or when an event is so large that it prevents others from using the facilities. Beyond that, it just doesn't make sense. They don't even have the staff they would need to process all the applications this proposal would require.

Re: Oregon State Parks and Beaches new rules & Fee Hikes!
Looks to me like you have a good understanding of the problem, Kevin. Vague rules and local decision makers. You don't know you need a permit until it is too late. And of course, permit requests can be denied without appeal....

Re: Oregon State Parks and Beaches new rules & Fee Hikes!
Here's what I wrote:
I am personally outraged by the Oregon State Parks Department considering issuing permits for Kite Festivals. This is the kind of obstruction that Occupy Portland and Occupy Salem are protesting. It is ludicrous to require a permit for the use of our beaches, with extra costs to organizers. Stop making more waves, & just get your job done!
Here's my answer back from Oregon Parks and Recreation:
Mr. Graeper,
Thank you for your comments regarding the proposed Oregon State Park rules on non-traditional use of parks and ocean shores. There is a common misconception that we're drastically expanding the kinds of recreation that would require a permit. We're not. The most common ways groups of people use state parks and the ocean shore -- small traditional weddings, family reunions where no special facilities are set up, groups getting together to picnic or to fly kites and commercial guides simply passing through a park or ocean shores -- would NOT require permits.
A group that wants to use a park in an unusual way (interrupting other park visitors in the process), has always needed a permit and will continue to need one. Things like setting up a stage, charging an entry fee, selling merchandise, or being so large that they need special sanitation or security, have always and will continue to require a permit. Our old rules don't have enough specifics about things like insurance, protecting park resources, and when exceptions are allowed. The updated rules make an attempt to spell these things out, but we need to do a better job explaining when you do and don't need a permit.
We'll be making changes to the updated rules after we study all the public comments that we have received, including yours (comments were accepted through Oct. 25). Once the changes are made, we'll send the rule back out for more public comment, probably in December. Once the public concerns have been addressed, we will move ask the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission to adopt the revised rules. The Commission gets to see a summary of the concerns expressed in all comments received during the public comment period and they consider those comments as they make their decision on revising the rules.
Once again, thank you for taking the time to comment on the updated division 16 rules. Your feedback is helpful and will be considered as we review and revise the rules in November.

You started off nicely, got right to the point, wandered off into the realm of political protest (agree or disagree with the Occupy __________ protesters, but nobody in a state agency wants anything to do with them), and then closed by implying that he wasn't doing his job. Basically, he's now got the opinion that kitefliers are jerks who don't appreciate him.
I hope that other letter writers for the next round of public comments will remember that the parks employees are a) trained professionals with a fair amount of education to do what they do, b) having to deal with budgets that shrink proportionally more each year than other government agencies, c) also having to deal with fun stuff like meth labs in parks, guns in parks, protesters in parks, and little support from their superiors, and d) could absolutely benefit from someone who knows about specialized things like kites providing them with some education on the subject instead of just loudly demanding their rights.
We see a group of people flying kites. They see a strain on limited resources (parking, real estate, toilets, etc). What are we prepared to do to change their opinion of us?

Re: Oregon State Parks and Beaches new rules & Fee Hikes!
Nice post, Phil. Like it.
The most difficult thing, speaking for myself, when considering sending letters to public officials (commenting on rules, writing your congressperson, whatever) - heck, even posting on the internet - the most difficult thing is suppressing the emotion that drove you to want to make the comment or send the letter in the first place. The emotion is important, but such things are much better received if they are drafted like a piece of inter-office correspondence.
Again, I echo Phil's agreement with the sentiment of the letter, but I also agree with the post-analysis. Thumbs up to GrapeDad for commenting on the proposed rule changes, and thumbs up to Phil for providing some relevant guidance/information moving forward.

Re: Oregon State Parks and Beaches new rules & Fee Hikes!
Phil and Simon make good points. Which I would like to modify a little.
Express your concern (but keep politics out of it). "I am concerned that I may no longer be able to...", "The rules are ambiguous to me...", "How can I know if...", "Am I losing the right to use ...."
Assume the public employee who will receive your letter is not "on the other side". Most are sympathetic public servants trying to balance the needs and desires of the public with financial realities and safety concerns of the greater picture. Their superiors may be heartless ogres, but they are the ones you elected, or were appointed by the elected officials, so even they may listen - not to threats, but to concerns that may also affect more citizen voters.
From the response that grapedad received, it appears that revised rules will be coming out in the next month, and comments will be needed about December or January. I hope someone will snag a link to the revised rules so we can discuss them here.
Thanks for the info, everyone!

What does it mean to be globally aware and why is it important?
In one of of the school programs I attended to last year, I was asked what it means to be globally aware and its importance. The question seemed to be quite easy, but I could not come up with a great answer. Trying to think of the best examples of being globally aware, I was lost.
TED is one of the most global communities out there and I believe it can help me understand the meaning and importance of global awareness.

I have used many top of the line products for lips and this far surpassed my expectations. During this snowy, cold weather, I have even used it on my cheeks. Smooth, creamy application is complimented with the cool and practical design of the case. Will absolutely purchase again.
I really like this! It's neatly packaged in a deodorant-looking way. Not only does it help with chapped lips, you can put it on your cheeks too! Neat product as an extra bonus gift.
This stuff works great on some cracked and chapped skin during a New England winter. I liked how it is applied via the stick. Good product.

DOLORES – A 3D seismic study proposed by Kinder Morgan, LLC for the Doe Canyon Deep Unit has been approved by the U.S. Forest Service Dolores District Ranger and the Bureau of Land Management's Tres Rios Field Manager and is scheduled to take place this July.
The survey will take place across 121 square miles of public lands east of Dove Creek. Explosive charges will send energy waves into the earth and the reflected waves will be recorded on the surface and then processed to provide an underground geologic profile map.
The seismic survey will target carbon dioxide reservoirs in areas where underground minerals are leased to Kinder Morgan LLC, Inc., as defined by the Doe Canyon Deep Unit boundaries. The purpose and need is to facilitate the exploration and development of granted mineral rights, while minimizing effects to natural resources.
The gas is used in a process called CO2 flooding that boosts production in mature oil fields. Kinder Morgan transports CO2 through pipelines in southwestern Colorado to west Texas, where it is injected into oil-producing fields. The company is the second largest oil producer in Texas, producing over 55,000 barrels of oil per day.
"Kinder Morgan is looking for geologic information about the CO2 deposits in the area and will be doing a seismic study," Forest Service spokesman Robert Garrigues said. "The other option would be to drill exploratory holes but this [method] is much less environmentally damaging. They suspect that there is quite a large deposit of CO2 in the area."
The approved 3D seismic study will include the use of helicopters, portable drill rigs, and detonation of explosive charges within shot holes. Using portable drill rigs, crews will drill 4-inch diameter holes to approximately 45-feet deep along east-west trending lines. Each hole will then be packed with small explosive charges and sealed, backfilled, and covered at the surface. Receiver phones (geophones) will be laid on the surface of the ground in north-south trending lines.
Using wireless technology, the charges will be detonated one at a time in a controlled pattern. Most of the explosive noise will stay in the hole and travel downward, creating underground vibrations. After the receivers record the vibrations, they will be picked up and moved to the next set of prepared shot-holes. Safety officers and trained personnel will be on hand to oversee all aspects of the operation.
"One of the nice things about this project is the company is trying to be really environmentally conscious by using really high-end technology and wireless geophones," Garrigues said.
The project is estimated to begin on BLM lands west of the Dolores River Canyon on July 1 of this year. The survey will progress across BLM lands this summer, and will resume on Forest Service lands east of the Dolores River canyon in summer 2014. The complete survey should be accomplished by late summer 2014.
Details about the final decision, including implementation techniques for public safety and resource protection, are described in the final decision documents and maps which are available at the Dolores Public Lands Office, 29211 Hwy 184, Dolores, Colorado. Information is also available on the San Juan National Forest projects web site at: fs.usda.gov/goto/sanjuan/projects.

Save Family Treasures from Soot
Conservation experts say prompt, gentle attention is best
Watch the Video
A six-minute video on saving your family treasures from soot is available in Windows Media Player and Flash formats.
News media, please click here.
Cherished family heirlooms that survive a fire are often covered with soot and ash, requiring prompt and gentle attention to avoid further damage.
The Heritage Emergency National Task Force, an initiative of Heritage Preservation and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, offers the following tips for cleaning up. The advice is based on the experience of respected conservation professionals who care for our nation's treasures in museums and libraries.
- Safety first! Avoid skin or lung irritation. Wear plastic or rubber gloves, an N95 mask, and goggles during cleanup.
- Get started promptly. The longer soot or ash sits on a surface, the more damage it does.
- Handle objects as little as possible. If you must move them, use a tray or hanger, and grasp them in places that are normally hidden from view.
- If soot and ash are wet say, from fire hose water or a burst pipe don't do anything to remove them; attempting to remove them from wet surfaces will cause further damage. Get advice from a professional.
- Likewise, do not rinse sooty or ash-covered treasures.
- Resist the urge to wipe soot and ash-covered surfaces with a clean cloth; wiping will embed the soot and ash in the object and make it much more difficult to recover.
- Instead, remove soot and ash with a vacuum on the lowest setting. Do not let the nozzle touch the object and do not use a brush attachment; let the wand float over the surface.
- When cleaning textiles, do not unfold them this will only disperse the soot.
- After vacuuming, you may need to clean the object with a soot sponge, which can be purchased at major hardware stores. Unlike other sponges, use this one dry. Lay the sponge on the surface, press gently, and lift without rubbing. Cut off sections as they become dirty.
- Call in a pro. If a valuable family treasure is badly damaged, a professional conservator may be able to help. The American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works has a free referral service (202-452-9545 or http://aic.stanford.edu), and the Regional Alliance for Preservation (800-843-8482 or www.preservecollections.org) has information on preservation services.
These general guidelines are adapted from the Field Guide to Emergency Response produced by the national nonprofit Heritage Preservation.

Capping off a mediocrity-defining three-year stretch that saw them finish ninth, ninth and eighth in the East, the Milwaukee Bucks should have entered the summer of 2013 with change as the most obvious mandate.
As in change everything.
Despite a return to the playoffs and encouraging progress from big men Larry Sanders, Ersan Ilyasova and John Henson, the Bucks had little to show for their efforts last season, as coaching upheaval and a dysfunctional locker room motivated GM John Hammond to take a flamethrower to his roster once again.

Franklin >Lodging > Aloft Nashville-Cool Springs
7109 South Springs Drive, Franklin, TN | Directions 3706735.9529 -86.81605
Great little hotel – The location is right next to the highway so if you're an extremely light sleeper then maybe this will be a problem for you. I've stayed here multiple times and it's never been a significant issue.
Hotel is close to the mall, restaurants, grocery stores and only 15 min down the highway from downtown Nashville.
The rooms are simple but modern and has everything you need to just spend the night (mini fridge included). The beds are comfortable, big flat screen tv is nice, and the shower is nice too. The place is clean. There is a bar downstairs with lounge area and pool table...also no room service, but there is a self-serve 24 hr snack area with some delicious stuff.
Great value, comes out to about $110/night for weekend nights.
I would live here if I could – I stayed here around Thanksgiving of 2008, soon after it opened. I absolutely loved it. The staff was friendly, the room was so cozy. Everything is hip and fun including the XYZ bar in the lobby. The location is convenient to the Cool Springs Mall. I will definitely be back if I need a place to stay in Nashville.
Great Place to stay – Great place to stay. No room service but nice modern place

The last time there were this many heavy tanker accidents in this short of time the federal government grounded all of the aircraft for a couple of fire seasons.
One fatal crash and another crashlanding within hours should be sufficient to raise the question of whether the big bombers should be retired.
There is no doubt that the big tankers are the most effective aerial means of extinguishing a wildfire in the wilderness.
A single run by a big tanker can dump nearly three times the fire retardant as a single engine air tanker. The smaller aircraft can work out …

I have been suspended from my workplace today after my employer accused me of using his Adobe software codes outside of work without authority. It began last week with him not being able to activate a new computer in work and having some sort of issue where Adobe have threatened him with a software audit.
I have never used these codes outside of work and need to prove so. Is there any way of proving that I have not used these codes for personal use? Tracing IP address's that have been activated etc.
I am one of very few people in the company with access to these and need a way of proving I have not done this any help would be more than welcome!
Thanks in advance,
I believe "Jeff Wright" can try and help you on this , He is an Adobe employee who actively participate in forums.
As per my knowdelge , Adobe never have threatened anyone, if you cannot activate on a new computer then there could be no.of reason for that , The person who has bought the software can contact Adobe and can get the activation count resetted not a big deal.
This happens lot of time becuase people are not able to deactivate the software, from the help menu.
Thanks for the reply, I did obviously scour the Adobe website but found nowhere to go, here seemed like my best bet. The issue began with it not being able to active on the new computer due to it being installed on too many others, so he did contact adobe when that happened and they did reset the activation count.
But I can only assume now that Adobe have said that the software has been installed and activated on to many machines and now because I have access to the codes have been accused of stealing them or selling them!
I think your boss is over-reacting to the situation, with the single license you get two activation , maens you can install on two machine . however the situation changes when you have to install on third machine but you cannot deactivate the software from the old machine(on which the software is already installed)
Not sure , what happened at your end...however if the activation has been resetted and your boss is good to go then I dont think there should be any problem.
But lets see what Jeff has to say in regard to this, may be he can provide the solid written documentation that can help you , to prove your point
Well, Adobe surely knows, but long before this is an Adobe problem, this is a legal problem. Without a formal request from a qualified source I doubt they will give away anything. So unless you already have taken legal action against your employer, I don't think there is much they can do. Here in Germany we have special courts that deal with legalities of work & labour and that's where I'd turn to. If that's not possible where you live, as a minor you should consider filing a cease & desist to stop your employer from spreading false claims and damaging your case even further, especially by slandering your reputation inside the company or the area where you live. This would also indemnify against otehr accusations that may turn up in the course of investigating this issue...
What Mylenium is saying makes point , I dont think you are the only one in your company who has the access to these codes , if other people do have the access then why you are only one getting targetted but if you are the only one who has the responsilbilty then first get enough info that can prove your legitamacy and can prove that your employer has done wrong. without knowing the fact and truth , it will be too aggeresive approach.
If I would have been your place , I would have seeked help from Adobe (highest level possible) first and then would have taken the appropriate action .
Villa Grantos I am sorry there is not much which I can do in this forum setting. Your employer/software license holder is certainly welcome to contact our support team and they can provide a count of the unique machines the software has been activated on. Or in other words the number of times the software has been activated on other computers.
Thanks for the replies guys.
Is it possible that Adobe can pinpoint where (an IP Address for example) the software was activated?
If you have any advice that may not be forum based please feel free to message me or email me on email@example.com if the forum allows.
You have to contact Adobe for this...no idea...honestly

This poster tells the story of a national park in a country which values diversity and partnerships and the role they play in resilience. Jamaica´s motto states, "Out of Many, One People" and our black, green and gold flag symbolises the hope within the cultural and natural resources of the island: "the sun shineth, the land is green and the people are strong and creative". We will provide examples of challenges weathered by the forest ecosystems and park management.
The Windward Maroons who first occupied the land where the national park now stands are the archetype of Maroonage – the resistance of African and Amerindian people to European enslavement in the western hemisphere. The landscape and biodiversity in the Blue and John Crow Mountains provided the resources for the Maroons to develop a unique culture and attain independence from colonial rule in 1740. Their descendants maintain their culture and revere the Mountains as the last resting place of their freedom fighting ancestors.
By the late 18th century, recognising the danger to water supplies from clearing the forests for coffee, a vast area was protected as a forest reserve. In 1993, recognising the internationally significant high level of biodiversity (Jamaica has the fifth highest percentage floral endemism among islands of the world), the area was declared Jamaica´s first national park. Nineteen years later, the Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park is still in operation, protecting one-third of Jamaica´s natural forest. It is managed collaboratively by three relevant government agencies, with a NGO (JCDT) delegated operational management. The park has weathered many challenges, and JCDT works with local communities to value and conserve biodiversity by sharing nature´s benefits through the Park´s Sustainable Tourism Programme, and the Conservation Programme grows native, non-lumber species for forest rehabilitation in the park´s Recovery Zone.
