MoCo is a system that monitors and controls SCADA points, such as temperature, HVAC, power, lighting, sprinkler systems, and more. It has industrial capabilities, but is scalable from very small home systems to enterprise, world-wide ones. It works with inexpensive I/O bridges (including X10, Insteon, and 1-wire) from a number of manufacturers. It has sophisticated history logging and diverse control capabilities, as well as a 117-page implementation manual.
RHash is a utility for computing hash sums and creating magnet links. It supports CRC32, MD4, MD5, SHA1/SHA2, Tiger, TTH, Torrent BTIH, AICH, ED2K, GOST R 34.11-94, RIPEMD-160, HAS-160, EDON-R 256/512, WHIRLPOOL, and SNEFRU hash algorithms. Hash sums are used to ensure and verify the integrity of large volumes of data for long-term storage or transferral. RHash can calculate magnet links and EDonkey 2000 links. It can update existing hash files by adding sums of files missing in the hash file. It can output in a predefined (SFV, BSD-like) or user defined format. It can process directories recursively.
Thread Safe Template Library (TSTL) is a C++ library that provides thread-safe containers with high grade of locking. It includes classes for multimaps based on a B-tree and a hash table. It also includes classes for a queue, a priority queue, a pipe, an alloccache, a timercache, a limitcache without global locking, and a fast shared mutual exclusion locker (also known as "rwlock" or "wmrg"). It's useful for writing multi-threaded applications, network services, and operating system components with high requirements for interactivity level.
pg-python provides access to Python from PostgreSQL. It contrasts with the built-in procedural language by interfacing with PostgreSQL types rather than converting them. This allows large instances of data types to be handled with greater efficiency while also allowing reasonable support for arbitrary data types without the need for a specialized implementation. Procedures are managed as entire modules so that initialization can be performed naturally by a stored procedure (each PostgreSQL function has a "main" entry point). Import statements may exist in a more natural position, and the "main" entry point may be decorated.
phpVirtualBox is an AJAX implementation of the VirtualBox user interface written in PHP. As a modern Web interface, it allows you to access and control remote VirtualBox instances. Much of its verbage and some of its code is based on the (inactive) vboxweb project. It was created for people who prefer not to have to log in to their headless VirtualBox host to administer their virtual machines.
ptee is a Unix shell tool similar to tee, but it allows you to invoke multiple sub-shells in parallel. Standard input to ptee is copied to both normal standard output and to each sub-shell running under ptee. Each sub-command is run concurrently and fed the same input. The output of each sub-command is thrown away, but any shell expression can be used, such as redirecting to a file. Note that there are some limits on ptee. The shell pipeline will only execute at the pace of the slowest sub-command; otherwise large amounts of data would have to be buffered. Also, the shell that ptee invokes requires 'sh'-like semantics, such as supporting the -c option.
xplain2sql converts files from Xplain to SQL. It supports a very large subset of Xplain, and it can convert from Xplain to Microsoft SQL Server, DB/2, Inprise InterBase, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL 5, SQLite 3 or ANSI-92 SQL. It can also generate an XML description of the generated SQL. This XML description can be used to create low-level middle-tier code. Example stylesheets for Eiffel/ECLI and Delphi/ADO are included. The C source code release should compile on any platform with an ANSI C compiler. There are binary releases for FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris x86, and Windows 2000.

MS Exchange Server Reports from Exchange Reporter Plus
Every Exchange administrator seems to be after one thing — Exchange Report! In fact, you could have landed on this page while you were googling "exchange server reports" or "Microsoft Exchange server tools"! Well, your search for an Exchange server monitoring tool, which will offer all the Exchange server reports you will ever need or seek, ends here!
Exchange Reporter Plus — a Microsoft Exchange reporting and analysis tool — offers more than 80 prepackaged Exchange reports. A ready-to-deploy software, this web-based Exchange monitoring service requires very minimal configuration during installation, and starts collecting data and reporting on Exchange servers as soon as it is installed!
Neatly classified into 7 categories, these 100+ Exchange reports comprise all the information that an Exchange server administrator will need to make several critical decisions in his line of duty.
Exchange Reporter Plus is more than Exchange server reporting:
Exchange Reporter Plus does not fall into the usual Exchange reporting groove (like some Exchange server monitoring tools or software do), where good to know information is offered but not knowledge. Nor is it some plain email or Exchange server traffic monitoring tool. Rather, it provides analytics and clear-cut statistics in a self-explanatory manner, which makes decision making a simple activity! That makes the difference!
To the regular email traffic reports and server traffic analysis reports, Exchange Reporter Plus adds charts, histograms, and trend analysis graphs. All these make it pretty obvious as to what should be done in order to optimize Exchange resources or plan their capacity accurately! In other words, the inference needed on behalf of an Exchange administrator has been packed into these Exchange reports!
The List of Exchange Reports:
More about what distinguishes Exchange Reporter Plus from the rest....

To the people who pitched tents earlier this week on sidewalks in front of Best Buy stores everywhere: You represent what's wrong with America.
Thanksgiving was once the perfect holiday. Delectable food. No gift-giving or receiving. Football and old movies on TV. Nothing much to do except enjoy friends and family and reflect on life's blessings.
Thanks for ruining this blissful day, Best Buy Campers.
Because you're willing to trade Thanksgiving for a sleeping bag in a parking lot — all for a shot at a $179.99 40-inch flat-screen TV — the fourth Thursday in November is becoming just another mass-marketed ode to consumerism.
How many dinners will be cut short or canceled because employees and herds of shoppers are summoned to the big boxes this evening? Best Buy will open at midnight. Target is opening its doors at 9 p.m. Not to be outdone, Walmart and Sears are opening at 8 p.m.
Turkey and togetherness are becoming a sideshow to the race for iPads, smart phones and other gadgets that will be obsolete a year from now.
What could be more American, you might ask, than telling your kids about the Pilgrims while lacing up your best walking shoes for a long night of roaming the aisles and standing in the check-out line for this year's must-haves?
To which I answer, that's what Black Friday and the other 31 remaining shopping days before Christmas are for.
The camper mentality is allowing the insidious creep of Black Friday into Thanksgiving.
This year a Target employee started a petition calling on the chain to delay its Thanksgiving evening opening. It went viral and collected 350,000 signatures.
The signers, though, are aiming their anger at the wrong bullseye.
Stores aren't to blame for this madness.
They wouldn't be opening earlier and earlier if it weren't for the campers and their 24-hour credit cards.
Stores that opened on Thanksgiving last year saw a 22 percent bump in sales, according to one retail analyst.
The National Retail Federation reports that 24 percent of shoppers said they were at a store last year at midnight on Black Friday. That's up from 9 percent two years ago.
With double-digit increases, the days of stores waiting until 5 a.m. to open on Black Friday seem like a quaint memory of a simpler time.
The ever earlier openings (K-Mart is even open this morning) are driven by consumer demand.
If people want retail employees to be able to enjoy Thanksgiving at home or simply don't like the idea of the holiday turning into a pre-Christmas deal-fest, it would be more effective for them to say so with their wallets.
When people stay home, the stores will stay closed.
For now, the campers bring "home" to the store. One family said they actually enjoyed the time in their storefront tent because, when at home, mom, dad and the kids all tended to be separately absorbed in the TV, Xbox or iPad.
But inside their tent they actually spent more time talking to each other — while they waited in a days-long line to buy more TVs, Xboxes and iPads.
Haven't these folks ever heard of a state park? You can get the same familial effect with much better view.
Or what about the traditional dinner table?
Take Thanksgiving back, America. There'll be plenty of time for shopping tomorrow.

En español | From the tango to the two-step, Americans are dancing their way to better health.
Our love affair with everything dance has sparked the first all-star edition of Dancing With the Stars, plus a just-ended ninth season for the summer hit, So You Think You Can Dance.
The two shows have also revived interest in dance classes nationally, including among older Americans. And no wonder: Dancing fosters both health and happiness.
Even if you flub a few steps, like former DWTS contestant and AARP fitness ambassador Martina Navratilova, it's still fun and great for stretching the midsection, she says. "It will make anybody's body more flexible," the former tennis champion adds.
Subscribe to the AARP Health Newsletter
"Dance is a joyful, fun and effective way for seniors to stay active and healthy," agrees fitness expert Pamela Peeke, M.D., a spokesperson for the American College of Sports Medicine.
Peeke says one reason dancing is successful is because most people don't think of it as exercise — even though dancing actually moves more parts of the body than walking.
All that movement helps older adults improve their balance and flexibility, as well as increase muscle power in their legs and even strengthen bones, thanks to the fact that dancing is a weight-bearing exercise, a 2009 analysis of research in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity showed.
Recent studies have also found that dancing may protect against dementia. A Korean study last year in the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine found that teaching the cha-cha to a small group of older adults twice a week for six months was enough to improve their memory and cognitive function on a number of tests.
For a group of Canadian seniors, ages 62 to 90, it was learning to tango that upped both their brain power and balance. The 2005 study by researchers with Montreal's McGill University compared a group that took tango lessons twice weekly with a group that walked instead. After 10 weeks, both groups scored better on cognitive tests, but the dancers performed better than the walkers on multitasking tests. They also improved their balance and coordination.
Dance can also help those with Type 2 diabetes lower their blood pressure and control their weight. A pilot study last year of African American women with diabetes found that dancing twice a week for just 12 weeks significantly improved their blood pressure, body fat and weight.
The researchers, with the University of Akron and Case Western Reserve University, wrote that the "camaraderie, enjoyment and laughter" during dance classes helped the women become more physically active and, in the process, improved their health.
Study author Carolyn Murrock, RN, an assistant professor of nursing at the University of Akron who has studied dance exercise and diabetes, says dance works so well because it's "an enjoyable way for older adults to become more active."
Even for those who are already active, dancing provides benefits without the wear and tear that other forms of exercise can cause, says Navratilova.
She notes that dancing is "easy on the joints. It really opened me up and elongated my body." Plus, she adds, "It's a great workout and a lot of fun."

Pearl Izumi Elite Thermal LTD Men's Jersey $129.95
Get them while you can.
Pearl Izumi's Elite Thermal LTD Jersey was designed to keep your core body temperature regulated throughout all of your cool- and cold-weather rides. Pearl Izumi accomplished this using its advanced fabric technology, which works in conjunction with the streamlined fit to provide you with the ultimate in upper body support and overall comfort.
The Elite Thermal Fleece fabric used to construct the LTD is an effective blend of Pearl Izumi's Transfer and Thermal materials. The Transfer fabric is known for its exceptional moisture management, which works by pulling sweat from your skin to the quick-drying outer-surface of the fabric. This material earned its reputation of setting the standard for moisture management fabrics, largely because it's the foundation for the breathable, wicking fabrics used in the majority of Pearl Izumi's spring/summer jerseys. A lightweight thermal fleece material was then blended with the Transfer, providing just the right amount of insulating protection throughout the torso and sleeves. Together, these materials work as a system to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable during your early and late season rides.
The elasticity in the jersey's fabric panels, along with an anatomic sleeve construction, allow the Elite Thermal to follow your movements in the saddle. This means that the fit is free from any bunching, pinching, or chafing while in the cycling position. Pearl Izumi calls this its 'form fit,' which is cut to closely follow the contours of your body. Combined with the anatomic cut and elastic Elite Thermal fabric, the smooth flatlock stitching used to join the panels further reduces any friction at the seams.
To secure this fit, and to prevent the jersey from shifting while riding, Pearl Izumi placed elasticized grippers at the cuffs and drop-tail hem. This treatment at the back prevents the jersey from sagging when its three rear pockets are loaded with your riding essentials. You'll also find a full-length zipper up front and reflective elements throughout.
The Pearl Izumi Elite Thermal LTD Jersey is available in five sizes from Small to XX-Large. And if you're wondering what distinguishes the LTD from the standard Elite Thermal, it's the LTD's three distinctive, limited edition color options -- Arcade Petrol Blue, Colorado USA, and New Big IP Black.

The PR 6201 range of load cells is specially designed for weighing silos, tanks and process vessels.
Product profile
The PR 6201 range of load cells is specially designed for weighing silos, tanks and process vessels.The unique design principle, in combination with the FlexLock installation kits, makes it possible to counterbalance movements arising from mechanical or thermal expansion or contraction of the vessel or its supporting construction.A particular design characteristic is that the overall height and shape of the load cell remain unchanged, even after two decades of use. Alongside this, the unit has an especially high overload capacity of up to 200%. At the same time, this range distinguishes itself - in addition to its high measurement accuracy and repeatability - above all for its unmatched reliability, robustness and stability, which enable trouble-free operation without adjustment, year after year.The pendulum support principle, combined with patented measuring element geometry, ensures that force transmission into the sensor is always at the optimum level and, in this way, the effect on measurement accuracy is minimized. At the same time, the load cell offers a particularly high overload range, high repeatability and perfect linearity.There is an especially wide working temperature range attributable to special resistance strain gauge technology. The hermetically sealed enclosure and special TPE cable allowthe unit to be used even under extreme operating conditions in harsh production environments.The entire measurement chain can be calibrated without the use of a reference weight. Due to - matched output - technology, a damaged load cell can be exchanged without the need for re-calibration. This saves a tremendous amount of time during commissioning.An explosion-proof (Ex) version of this range of load cells is also available, as an option, for use in intrinsically safe environments.
Restoring force
For each mm of displacement, that the top of the load cell is shifted from the vertical axis, a horizontal restoring force of 0.5% of the applied load is generated.
Load cell housing
Full stainless steel housing, membrane and measuring element hermetically sealed, welded, filled with inert gas.
1.4301 (DIN 17440), equivalent to 304 S11/S15 (B.S.)

Alternative Names
Polycystic ovaries; Polycystic ovary disease; Stein-Leventhal syndrome; Polyfollicular ovarian disease
Definition of Polycystic ovary syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a condition in which there is an imbalance of a woman's female sex hormones. This hormone imbalance may cause changes in the menstrual cycle, skin changes, small , trouble getting pregnant, and other problems.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Female sex hormones include estrogen and progesterone, as well as hormones called androgens. Androgens, often called "male hormones," are also present in women, but in different amounts.
Changes in the menstrual cycle:
Signs and tests
During a pelvic examination, the health care provider may note an enlarged clitoris (very rare finding) and enlarged ovaries.
Losing weight (which can be difficult) has been shown to help with diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Even a weight loss of 5% of total body weight has been shown to help with the imbalance of hormones and also with infertility.
Expectations (prognosis)
Women who have this condition can get pregnant with the right surgical or medical treatments. Pregnancies are usually normal.

I just came across the perfect Christmas gift for Gov. Paul LePage.
What say we all pitch in and buy him the deluxe, 10-DVD set from "Candid Camera."
It includes a "Smile, You're on Candid Camera!" hat and T-shirt, which LePage could wear every time he appears in public so the "tracker" hired by the Maine Democratic Party will have no trouble finding him in a crowd.
But more important, those DVDs are chock full of people caught on camera when they least expect it – and laughing about it!
Unlike the Guv, whose sudden distaste for being videotaped in public mushroomed Wednesday into an anything-but-appropriate tantrum just before he swore in the 126th Maine State Senate. (Here's the tape).
"I think it's vulgar, I think it's vicious and I think it's vile to me and my family," LePage snarled to a packed (and generally shocked) audience. What's more, he continued, it's the latest example of "the lack of respect that the office of the governor of Maine is receiving."
(Not to be confused with the lack of respect the "office of the governor" showed the Maine Senate.)
So here we are, more than a month after the election, and LePage has yet to even exchange pleasantries through gritted teeth with Senate President Justin Alfond, House Speaker Mark Eves or any other leaders of the Legislature's duly elected Democratic majority.
LePage's latest ultimatum: He will not meet with the Dems until their party calls off Brian Jordan, the young "private paparazzi" whom the governor called out twice by name during Wednesday's swearing-in ceremony. (Jordan, alas, was nowhere in sight.)
Interesting phenomenon, this video-tracking business. Go to YouTube and you'll find countless cases where trackers have pestered, pursued and provoked politicians to the point where, as Sen.-elect Angus King put it this fall when describing his Republican-paid tracker, "it's pretty lousy."
Now let's be clear here. If LePage's tracker was in fact getting in the governor's face (or, worse yet, video-stalking LePage's family) at every opportunity, public or private, the governor's complaint would at least have some validity.
But according to Maine Democratic Party Chairman Ben Grant, that is not what's happening.
"We're not lying in the bushes outside his house," Grant said Thursday. "We're not following his family to the supermarket."
Rather, he said, Jordan shows up at public events where LePage is scheduled to speak, secures permission to set up his tripod and camera and simply records what the governor says from the podium -- and only what he says from the podium.
"Our tracker has been instructed not to record private conversations -- and to my knowledge, he hasn't. This is about public comments and nothing more," Grant said, adding that the Democrats do it only to hold LePage "accountable for what he says in a public setting."
But what about LePage's claim that the tracker attended a Veterans Day event last month and recorded the governor having a private chat with an elderly veteran?
"What he's saying is untrue," Grant said.
Also setting off the "false" alarm is LePage's claim earlier this week that "I have not made an issue of this nor did it bother me until Veterans Day."
Really? Why, then, do the Democrats have a list of 11 public appearances by LePage, 10 of which occurred before Veterans Day, at which Jordan was shown the door by LePage Communications Director Adrienne Bennett or various other political operatives?
More importantly, why did LePage wait until this week -- the very week the Legislature's Democratic leadership was being sworn in -- to start complaining about a tracker he's known about for months?
One logical answer: The sight of Democrats wielding the gavels in both the House and Senate makes the Guv's skin crawl. And he needed an excuse, any excuse, to avoid having to sit down with them and go about the business of ... what's the word ... governing.
It's not as if LePage doesn't know how to be a regular guy. Heck, moments after administering the oath of office to Senate President Alfond, he actually shook Alfond's hand and then playfully tugged on the finger of Alfond's 1-year-old son, Jacoby. (We can only imagine the governor's disappointment when the little tyke didn't break wind.)
But to truly appreciate the depths of LePage's dysfunction, consider what's going on around him as he fumes about trackers and shuns an entire branch of state government.
Rather than huddle with legislative leaders and deal with an unexpected $35.5 million drop in tax revenues, LePage announced Thursday that he'll do it unilaterally with a yet-to-be-specified "curtailment order."
Rather than get out in front of a projected $100 million budget shortfall in the never-a-dull-moment Department of Health and Human Services, he alienated even members of his own party in the Legislature by ruining the one day their families come to the State House to shower them with pride. (Remember that the first time the Legislature musters enough votes for a veto override.)
And rather than accept that whenever a governor speaks in public these days it's guaranteed that someone just hit the "record" button, he's hiding from "the loyal opposition" until they call off the guy with the camera.
We can only hope, as the political reality of the next two years sets in, we'll have a January thaw in the Blaine House.
Maybe LePage will even accept Alfond's handwritten invitation, delivered Thursday, for LePage and his wife, Ann, to have dinner "at a place of your choice" with Alfond and his wife, Rachael. (Hmmm ... tap water or Perrier?)
But before Augusta grinds completely to a halt, LePage would do well to check out those "Candid Camera" DVDs. The ones in which all kinds of people get recorded saying and doing all kinds of nutty things -- and nobody seems to care a whit.
So enough scowling, Gov. LePage. The next time you see that camera pointed your way . . .
Smile! You're in public office!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These cards were easy to customize and the Wedding Paper Divas responded so quickly with confirmations and proofs. Couldn't ask for a better service. I paid for the 2 day delivery and they came in 1 day. Wow!"
"These were absolutely gorgeous. Our wedding colors are yellow & gray and this was the perfect mustard yellow. We even added a picture from our engagement session on the back. I love Wedding Paper Divas and always have the most efficient & friendly service from them. We needed to pay for the rush shipping, but it was well worth it. We got it the next business day after I approved my proof!"
"We ordered these invites in blue and they look EXACTLY like the image online, so that was great. The online ordering process at one point implied you could get a small picture on the back, and we liked that idea, but as it turned out these invites aren't recommended for pictures because of the texture of the card. We hadn't picked it for the picture option so it was fine, but just a heads up. Speaking of the textured card, it feels really substantial and looks great. We got the envelopes printed with return address and those look great too. Nice paper, crisp font."
"Many who were recipients of this invitation commented on how simple and beautiful it is. The paper quality and texture adds to the overall effect. I have been very pleased with all three of the invitations/menus that I have ordered."
"We went with this simple but elegant card with regular corners and In the color plum. The card stock was substantial and easy to insert into the envelope. We added our return address to limit the amount of time it takes to address and send out the invitations- every little bit helps! Our future Daughter in Law loved it as it was one less thing she had to do. We also are planning on using the on-line RSVP service offered to us. Good Luck!"

Where MOOCs Miss the Mark: The Student-Teacher RelationshipFebruary 8, 2013 | Matt Levinson
The mistake about MOOCs (massive open online courses) is that they discount the central component of effective teaching -- the relationship forged between student and teacher.
Sure, students around the world gain access to previously inaccessible and unimaginable content from some of the world's renowned universities and professors from MIT, Harvard and Stanford. These students can grow inspired by the possibility of absorbing information through online lectures and platforms, as 12-year-old Khadija Niazi of Pakistan explained recently at the World Economic Forum. The New York Times reported, "Ms. Niazi has been taking courses, free so far, from Udacity and Coursera, two of the earliest providers of this new form of instruction. Her latest enthusiasm is for astrobiology, because she is fascinated by UFOs and wants to become a physicist."
This is nothing short of amazing and shows the flattening of the education world. Thomas Friedman celebrates the power of the MOOC: "Nothing has more potential to lift more people out of poverty -- by providing them an affordable education to get a job or improve in the job they have. Nothing has more potential to unlock a billion more brains to solve the world's biggest problems."
However, MOOCs make a key assumption that the students enrolling in these courses have a certain degree of motivation and are reasonably adept self-starters as learners.
The Importance of Belonging
For students who know what they want and when they want it in terms of online content, MOOCs are a fabulous new option to build and construct personalized learning ecosystems.
Unfortunately, for many learners, MOOCs lack the possibility of mentorship and close guidance that comes through the building of a meaningful relationship between student and teacher.
One student who was exposed to Khan Academy lectures in a math class commented that she much preferred listening to her math teacher explain the same concepts because she likes this teacher and feels comfortable asking questions and going for extra help outside of class. This student-teacher bond is more challenging to develop and sustain through online learning, which by its design is constructed through distance and the tubes of the Internet.
The fact will always remain that great teachers inspire through their passion for their subject and their ability to communicate and connect with students in face-to-face interactions and relationships.
Noted author and blogger Annie Murphy Paul writes: "The level of comfort we feel in another person's presence can powerfully influence how intelligent we feel, and in some sense, how intelligent we actually are, at least in that moment. Now multiply that one-on-one interaction by tens or hundreds, and you start to get a sense of how important a sense of belonging to a learning community can be."
MOOCs are not yet able to cultivate the sense of belonging in "another person's presence." Not to mention that the completion rate of MOOCs is quite low. According to The New York Times, "Less than 10 percent of MOOC students finish the courses they sign up for on their own." While the exposure to great content is alluring, the lasting impact may be fleeting unless MOOCs can figure out a way to establish the relationship piece between students and teachers.
Do you have any experience with MOOCs? How might MOOCs begin to connect content with relationships?

I agree to a point...
I have concerns about us defining what a MOOC is because I think it has the possibility to be many things. I wrote a brief blog post on this topic last week after my experience in the #ETMOOC mentioned by Paul above:
Here are my main points from the post http://www.patrickmlarkin.com/2013/02/one-example-of-what-mooc-can-do-et...
"The top thing for me is that a meaningful learning experience must offer participants meaningful opportunities to receive feedback and interact with other learners. The #ETMOOC experience has done this in many ways with options for participants to interact with both facilitators and learners on Twitter, Google+, and Facebook. The other thing that I believe is needed in learning endeavors is an opportunity for fun. While I am not saying that every learning experience has to be fun, I am saying that we need to find more ways for learning and fun to go hand-in-hand."
For me, I think we need to focus on what the qualities of an engaging learning environment are and not be too quick to wrote off something like a MOOC. While I am sure that there are many MOOC's that are not able to "cultivate a sense of belonging" as you describe, I am equally sure that we can say the same about many physical classrooms in our country.
Let's keep our focus on quality learning environments and think outside of the box a bit on this one.
Thanks for your thoughts on this!
Matt: Please try #etmooc for
Matt: Please try #etmooc for a first-rate example of how a well-organized and well-facilitated MOOC cultivates a sense of belonging to a community of learners and facilitates the connection between content and relationships.This is one of the best online learning experiences I've had, and rivals anything I've experienced in face-to-face learning.

My dear old beagle has had almost constant ear infections in the last few years… so I ordered the Ear Dr. oil and it has been wonderful. Three months now without any sign of infection… Thank you from both of us! - Julia
What is Ear Dr.?
Ear Dr. contains a blend of natural, herbal ingredients in a medicinal olive oil base, all specially selected to relieve the symptoms of ear infections and ear mites without the side effects of prescription drugs or the health and environmental risks associated with commercial synthetic pesticides.
Ear Dr. can provide safe yet effective relief from your pet's ear problems and helps to prevent the spread of mites from one pet to another. It's also a great companion remedy to herbal Immunity & Liver Support™, as it cleanses and purifies the system to help fight bacterial infections and eliminate toxins. Used together, Ear Dr. and Immunity & Liver Support can relieve ear infections and improve immune system functioning to speed up healing.
The formula remains true to the full spectrum method of herbal extraction, ensuring the bioavailability and balance of all the active ingredients contained in the remedy. This manufacturing method also significantly reduces the likelihood of side effects and ensures that all active ingredients are in perfect balance.
All PetAlive products are manufactured in FDA-registered, GMP-certified facilities under the supervision of an expert team of herbalists, naturopaths, homeopaths and responsible pharmacists.
Signs and symptoms of ear infections in pets
While the basic structure and functions of the ears of dogs and cats are similar to humans, dogs in particular differ in the shapes of their outer ear. While some dogs have pointed upright ears, others (like Spaniels) have long, pendulous ears which can predispose them to ear infections.
Ear infections are very common amongst cats and dogs and can cause severe irritation and discomfort in your beloved pet. If your pet displays symptoms such as shaking of the head and ears, scratching or rubbing of the ears and face, discharge or even bleeding from the ears, foul smell coming from the ears, sensitivity to touching in the ear area, or general irritability, he or she may have an ear infection. Consult your vet if you are concerned.
There are a number of causes of ear infections and common culprits include bacteria, yeasts and mites. Less commonly, allergies may have a role to play in inflammation and subsequent infection of the ears.
This interesting fact highlights the importance of keeping ears healthy and clean (to prevent scratching and irritation). Your pet's ears contain certain amounts of wax, as well as a variety of flora (e.g. yeast and certain bacteria) to keep ears clean and free of infection.
Maintaining the natural balance of normal flora and healthy organisms in the ear is therefore important, and it is only when a weakened immune system causes over proliferation of the inner flora of the ear that problems arise.
The natural way
Usual treatment of ear infections in pets involves antibiotics and, in the case of mites, medications and products also used for flea control. In severe infestations and multiple pet households, insecticides are sometimes used for treating the house or living environment.
As ear infections are so often treated with antibiotics, chronic and recurrent ear infections are a growing problem and usually occur with decreased immune functioning – a frequent side effect of antibiotic drugs.
Natural remedies can treat and prevent infections of the ear without any of the side effects and adverse effects on immune functioning that antibiotics can cause.
Maintaining balance and harmony in the ear and keeping the outer ear clean is very important in helping to keep your pet's ears problem-free. Thankfully, there is much that can be done to prevent problems.
- Because the ears are essentially part of the skin, ear health starts with general skin health. This means a healthy diet, avoidance of allergens, and keeping pets free from mites, fleas and other skin parasites is essential.
- Adopt a holistic approach to your pet's health and examine all factors that influence your pet's well-being. This will result in a happy, healthy pet.
- Today's rushed lifestyle of over-processed foods puts strain on our pet's immune systems and predisposes them to developing allergies and succumbing to infections. By feeding them a diet free of colorants and preservatives and one that is similar to the diet they would eat in the wild you are less likely to have a pet that suffers from dietary intolerances or skin problems.
- A last note: Do not be tempted to probe your pet's ears with Q-tips – you will only do damage!
What are the Ingredients?
Ear Dr. is a 100% herbal formula and contains the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage: Calendula (Calendula officinalis), Mullein (Verbascum thapsus), Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), Tea tree essential oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), and Extra virgin olive oil.
- Calendula (Calendula officinalis) is an herbal ingredient used to treat skin problems and promote healing of wounds. It is an excellent anti-inflammatory and prevents infection with its antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. Calendula has been shown to assist the regeneration of damaged skin tissue.
- Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic herb. Mullein is also good for healing of skin when applied topically and has a long history of use for ear conditions. It is commonly applied externally to the ear in the form of ear drops. Recent studies have investigated Mullein for its ability to soothe the ear (Sarrell EM, Mandelberg A, Cohen HA. "Efficacy of naturopathic extracts in the management of ear pain associated with acute otitis media." Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 2001; 155:796-799).
- Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is well known in naturopathic circles as a topical pain reliever and antiseptic/disinfectant herb, and can be used internally as well as on the skin to support skin integrity and the natural protective function of the skin. Rosemary has been studied for its ability to support healthy levels of bacteria and microbes (Santoyo, S., Cavero, S., Jaime, L., Ibanez, E., Senorans, F. J., and Reglero, G. "Chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of Rosmarinus officinalis L. essential oil obtained via supercritical fluid extraction." J Food Prot. 2005; 68(4):790-795). Several of the compounds in rosemary have also been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects.
- Tea tree essential oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) is widely used for external inflammation and to treat various skin conditions. This oil has outstanding antibacterial, antifungal and healing properties. Tea tree oil will soothe and reduce inflammation in the ear as well as treat any bacterial, fungal or mite infection that is present (Carson CF, Riley TV. Antimicrobial activity of the major components of the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia. J Appl Bacteriol 1995; 78(3):264-269).
- Extra virgin olive oil contains phenol compounds that are highly beneficial, according to scientists, who add that these compounds have anti-inflammatory properties and can protect skin (Publio Viola and Marzia Viola. Virgin olive oil as a fundamental nutritional component and skin protector. Clinics in Dermatology. 2009; 27 (2): 159-65. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19167997. Accessed October 29, 2012).
PetAlive is the leading brand of natural pet remedies known for safe, effective and quality products. Our remedies are formulated by natural health experts and produced under the highest pharmaceutical standards in FDA-registered, GMP certified facilities. We use the whole herb, not just a standardized extract, for a more potent remedy that is easy for the body to absorb.
PetAlive topical products never contain any parabens, sodium laurel sulfate (SLS) or harmful petrochemicals. They do not contain animal products, artificial colors or preservatives, and are never tested on animals. Our products are always backed by our One Year Unconditional Money Back Guarantee.
How do I use Ear Dr.?
With pet's head upright, insert dropper carefully and allow drops to fall into the ear canal. Massage ear gently. Repeat 2-3 times daily for at least 7-10 days.
Maintenance: Apply once or twice weekly.
Cats and dogs under 20 lbs: 2-3 drops in the ear.
Dogs 20-50 lbs: 3-5 drops in the ear.
Note: For added protection against ear infections, it is recommended that Ear Dr. be administered in conjunction with Immunity & Liver Support for improved immune system functioning.
Get optimum results with regular use
While conventional medicine works by often treating just the symptoms, natural medicine strives to create holistic balance in the body to support systemic health, relieve ailments, and help prevent future disease. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, the natural ingredients in our remedies support overall health and functioning (rather than just suppressing symptoms).
Pets respond to natural medicine in different ways. Some of our satisfied customers have reported observing immediate results in their pets while many others have reported observing optimal benefits taking effect within 3-6 weeks. To ensure your pet receives optimum results it is important to administer natural remedies as directed and remain consistent. You may also find that giving your pet a smaller maintenance dose is beneficial for ongoing support. Many customers report using a regular maintenance dose as part of a preventative program for the continued health and well-being of their beloved animals.
How long until I see results?
Improvement in discomfort, itchiness and pain should begin almost immediately after applying the drops and will continue to improve over 1-3 weeks of regular use.
How long will a bottle last?
One 30 mL bottle of Ear Dr. will last for 20-40 days, depending on the size and needs of your pet.
How has Ear Dr. helped others?
Ear Dr. has been used to relieve the symptoms of ear infections and ear mite infestations in pets. Here is what some pet owners have to say:
"My poor puppy has been scratching his ear and the side of his head against furniture and anything he can find recently - the itching of his ear was so severe that his desperate attempts to scratch even caused sores behind his ear that would bleed intermittently. Ever since using your Ear Dr. oil his ear seems to have cleared up - I am so relieved as it was terrible to see him in such a state. Thanks for a great product that works so quickly and effectively!"
"My dear old beagle has had almost constant ear infections in the last few years. The cycle of infection, antibiotics, new infection, more antibiotics was frustrating and soul destroying and his scratching and whining nearly drove us batty! My vet has a special interest in natural treatment and recommended your website - so I ordered the Ear Dr. oil and it has been wonderful. Three months now without any sign of infection and - far from having to find new and more ingenuous ways to get him to take his antibiotics - Benji actually enjoys his little ear "massages"! Thank you from both of us!"
"I own a Rhodesian Ridgeback who has had recurring ear infections since I've owned her. Like most people, when the infections occurred, I reluctantly used the antibiotics prescribed by my vet. However, I have since heard that this breed may be prone to ear infections, so I redoubled my efforts to find a natural alternative to antibiotics. Luckily for me and my dog, I found your website and Ear Dr. I started using the drops and after the third application, the infection was completely gone. Her ears look and smell great, and she is one happy dog! I am thrilled that I no longer have to resort to antibiotics and all their drawbacks, especially since she might be having these infections for the rest of her life. I will try the drops as a prophylactic and maybe she won't get any more. Thank you for an excellent product!"
"My 9 month old puppy seemed to have an ear infection, he was scratching at his ears and face. I purchased the Ear Dr., within one day of using it, I noticed that he wasn't scratching as much. By the third week, it seemed to be completely gone. I would recommend this stuff to anyone. Thanks."
—Brooke P., CA
"I started using this on Tuesday for my cocker spaniel with chronic ear infections. It is now Thursday and her ears are so much better. She's not itching and you can tell they no longer hurt her. These drops are an essential to have at home, especially for pets that are prone to ear infections. Thank you for this wonderful product. Princess is sending you big kisses..."
—Gwen, MN
"I just want to tell you how great your products are. I adopted a rescue dog in June who always seemed very lethargic and dopey to me. I got the Energy Tonic and that seemed to help her perk up a bit, we then added the Grief & Pining Formula since it "promotes an overall feeling of wellness" and she also cried a bit when one of us would leave, we noticed an immediate improvement in her demeanor when using these 2 products together. We also added the Gumz-n-Teeth formula since she had bad teeth and that also very quickly improved the condition of her teeth and gums. After several weeks of new and better food, we noticed that her poop was still very poor. I ordered the RuniPoo Relief and to my amazement it fixed her poo in one dose! I've never ever had a product that worked in one dose-this truly made me a believer in homeopathic products. Recently she started itching a lot so we ordered the Allergy Itch Ease and have started using that with both our dogs and we have used Ear Dr. with her ears as well and it really seems to be helping. I am amazed at how quickly these products work and how well they have worked with both my dogs. My Boston terrier has bad allergies and teeth and the Allergy Itch Ease and Gumz-n-Teeth have really helped her as well. I'm now a believer and will continue to use your great products and am referring my family and friends to use them as well. Many thank you's from a happy pet owner and 2 happy dogs."
—Heather , Ellie (Boston terrier) and Abby (Boxer/Lab mix)
"I would like to [give] great thanks for Ear Dr. Our Akita girl, Splash, had a long time problem with [her] ears. We used Ear Dr. for just a few days and Splash's ears are nice and clear... I am very enthusiastic that I found PetAlive - your homeopathic products are great - quick and effective! I [am also using] DetoxPlus and I haven't words for compliments - really fantastic effects! I wish you all the best!"
—Katarina, Slovakia
"My female bulldog has hip [issues] & also suffers from allergies which manifests in excessive scratching & recurrent ear & eye infections. I'm using Ear Dr., EyeHeal, Muscle & Joint Support, Skin & Coat Tonic & Allergy Itch Ease for her. I haven't used most of the products long enough to be able to draw a conclusion as to the effectiveness. What I do know so far is that the Allergy Itch Ease works exceptionally well. It works… I can see it working! I could definitely recommend the Ear Dr. as well, as I have to use it far less & the effect lasts much longer… Obviously it's less traumatic for her too if I can treat her ears as little as possible."
—Karin, Lyttelton, New Zealand

text: I got a NEGATIVE blood test that came back, and they are still charging me with DUI based on the lies in the Gilbert PD report. And what's so convenient about it, is that when they get a negative test, they throw away the blood. So you can't use your own test results as proof, because they are not part of the discovery of the pros. It's definitely targeting, and big huge money machine for all of them, even the lawyers. They are ruining people's lives, for cash. The judges, cops, and attorneys are all friggin dirty. I spoke to a lawyer who wanted 10k, then started telling me that I would most likely be on TASC. Hello? I can do that myself and save 10k. WITH A NEGATIVE TEST! They are all evil and it's sick.

MUSCLE (Multi User Server Client Linking Environment) is an N-way messaging server and networking API. It includes client-side networking APIs for various languages, including C, C++, C#, Delphi, Java, and Python. MUSCLE lets programs communicate over a network via streams of serialized Message objects. The included server program ("muscled") lets its clients message each other and store information in its server-side hierarchical database. The database supports flexible queries via hierarchical wildcarding, and "live" updates via a subscription mechanism.
Open Simp-X is a powerful Internet platform for everyone, attempting to change programming for the Internet with sharing database information. It strives for scalablility, reliability, and ease of use. The platform consists of a client/server pair. Security is a top priority, and data transfers are encrypted. Open Simp-X achieves scalability through plugins. Plugins can collect information, manipulate it, and send it back to the database. Writing plugins is easy since they do not have to worry about how to send or receive their information, and can focus on manipulating it. Open Simp-X can be set up to retreive data through a LAN or through a Web server.

Last week we learned that UK will play East Carolina in Memphis Jan. 2. I wanted to give you guys some Holiday and Bowl game travel tips……Consider our great state resort parks in Kentucky as you decide where to stay on your bowl adventure! Kenlake, Barkley and Ky. Dam Village are Purchase Area, Land Between the Lakes, Western Waterlands whatever you want to call them, regional resorts. But there are tremendous opportunities to educate, energize and familiarize your family on the bowl trip.
Go to www.kentuckytourism.com to get more info!
For grown ups, you can take in Kentucky's bourbon trail, you'll probably be heading back through the Bluegrass Parkway, stop around the Bardstown area to visit Maker's Mark, Heaven Hill and Jim Beam. Also you'll find Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve and Wild Turkey in the Frankfort area off of I-64. If you are you might consider a Holiday day trip (since the kids will be getting out of school) to Frankfort. The state cap. building offers tours, so does the Ky. History center and other museums. Berea has too many things to mention, but kids ages 1-101 would enjoy some pizza and interactive activities in Berea. Saturday, I took my boys to Midway for their open house, not something a dad and two high school boys would typically participate in but, we had a blast. We got something to drink and visited all the shops and spent some money on Christmas presents. Of course our purchases were music oriented. I really enjoyed the short trip.
Tell me what you've enjoyed thus far about the Holiday season………send in some pictures too! The winner of the Chrisman Mill basket was from Lexington. Did you catch the "Afternoon" noon show last Thursday?
"Buckle up, slow down and get there in one piece"
Check out this great Christmas Tree that Ale-8-One has done!

CMS Mission Statement
The Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) is an educational institute/think tank devoted to the study of international migration, to the promotion of understanding between immigrants and receiving communities, and to public policies that safeguard the dignity and rights of migrants, refugees and newcomers. CMS was established in 1964 and formally incorporated in 1969 by the Congregation of the Missionaries of St. Charles, Scalabrinians, an international community of Catholic priests, nuns and lay people dedicated to serving migrants and refugees. CMS is a member of the Scalabrini International Migration Network (SIMN), a global network of more than 270 entities that provide services to migrants, including shelters along migrant corridors and welcoming (integration) centers in receiving communities.
CMS operates as a legally distinct, tax-exempt agency, with an independent board of trustees. It carries out its mission in five principal ways:
• Publication of journals (including the International Migration Review and the Journal on Migration and Human Security), books, conference proceedings and other papers.
• Sponsorship of conferences, meetings, briefings, symposia and dialogues.
• Production of evidence-based, policy-relevant research.
• Provision of expert support to local, national and international institutions, particularly faith-based institutions.
• Maintenance of extensive archives on the history of immigration in the United States.
CMS works with policy-makers on international, regional, national and local levels; scholars and researchers; faith-based groups; non-governmental organizations; and other civil society organizations. CMS enjoys consultative status at the United Nations.

G. L. Kohuth, Michigan State University
The number of Americans who live together without being married continues to rise — from 400,000 in 1960 to 7.6 million in 2011, according to census data. New research has found that married people live longer than their cohabitating counterparts.
"This helps us to understand the implications of this relatively new rise in cohabitation," MSU sociologist Hui Liu, the study's lead researcher, told the Deseret News. "Many assume marriage and cohabitation are wholly the same, but our research showed that cohabitation, generally, led to a shorter lifespan."
Mortality differences
Researchers Liu and Corinne Reczek at the University of Cincinnati looked at the national health survey data of nearly 200,000 people, taken from 1997 to 2004. They found that the rate of mortality among men in cohabitating relationships dropped by 80 percent, while the rate dropped 59 percent for women.
Additional studies are finding that married couples experience lower levels of heart disease, cancers, flu, Alzheimer's, depression and stress, Karen Sherman, author of "Marriage Magic! Find It, Keep It, & Make It Last," told the Deseret News.
Happily married individuals undergoing heart bypass surgery are three times more likely to stay alive 15 years later than their single peers, Sherman said.
There were no significant mortality differences between blacks who were married and blacks who simply lived together, the study found.
Whites are more likely to cohabitate as a trial run before marriage, which may mean lower levels of shared social, psychological and economic resources, Liu said. Blacks, however, perceive it as an alternative to marriage.
The study was published in the Journal of Marriage and Family.
The study has been criticized for blind spots, as it did not account for differing degrees of marriage. High-conflict marriages have been shown to cause more stress, Melody Brooke, marriage and family therapist and author of "Oh Wow! This Changes Everything!," wrote in an email to the Deseret News.
Marriage is a mixed bag, Brooke wrote. A bad marriage can be lethal to your health and emotional well-being, but a good marriage can bring countless emotional and physical benefits.
Beyond longevity
We've done something unprecedented in America over the last 30 years, Linda Waite and Maggie Gallagher argue in "The Case for Marriage: Why Married People are Happier, Healthier and Better Off Financially." "We've managed to transform the most basic and universal of human institutions, marriage, into something controversial."
"For perhaps the first time in human history, marriage as an ideal is under a sustained and suprisingly successful attack," Waite and Gallagher wrote. Whether the attack is direct or ideological, "experts" believe a lifelong vow of fidelity to be unrealistic or oppressive, especially to women.
But wives are five times less likely — and husbands four times less likely — than single or divorced mates to be victims of crime, according to a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics.
"Humans are wired to be in a primary relationship," Cynthia Eddings, couples therapist in Santa Monica, wrote in an email to the Deseret News. A secure home base facilitates growth within and beyond the home.
Happily married couples help one another heal childhood wounds, develop the ability to see perspectives other than their own, and develop an "interdependency" in relying upon one another — something psychologists now define as psychological health, Brooke wrote.
