text: It's rare that I get a chance to sit on the couch and watch a baseball game. Oh sure, I get to "watch" baseball games. Lots of them, in fact. But it isn't too often that I get to watch a baseball game without a notebook, scorebook, computer and sheets and sheets of notes. Sometimes that kind of gets in the way of pure enjoyment of the game. So last night with the team playing in Miami, my two-year boy in bed and my wife at the store, I was able to watch four entire innings without writing anything down or having to worry about anything. Four innings of nothing to do but watch the pitchers pitch and the hitters try to figure out what was coming next. What a rare, rare treat. It helped remind me why I like the game so much. *** During those four innings the Phillies staged their big comeback against Dontrelle Willis highlighted by one of the best, head's up base-running plays seen in a long, long time. That's where Jimmy Rollins dashed all the way around the bases from first to score the tying-run on Shane Victorino's bloop, bases-loaded single with two outs. It was such an exciting play. According to Scott Lauber's story in the Wilmington News Journal, Rollins was able to head for home because he knew that Dontrelle liked to get chatty with his infielders when things didn't go his way and little bloopers found holes. Chalk that up to neighborhood knowledge. Nice work from Lauber capturing the whole thing, too. *** Here in Lancaster -- or "The Lanc" as the kids say -- the Atlantic League Barnstormers opened up play last weekend. Aside from manager Tom Herr and pitching coach Rick Wise, the team has another former Phillie on the roster. Reggie Taylor, the Phils' first-round pick in the 1995 draft, now plays center field for the Lancaster Barnstormers. That's a long way from the 14th pick of the draft where Taylor was selected behind Darin Erstad, Ben Davis, Jose Cruz, Kerry Wood, Todd Helton and Matt Morris, and ahead of Roy Halladay, Michael Barrett, Jarrod Washburn, Carlos Beltran, and Sean Casey. The Phillies also selected David Coggin and Marlon Anderson in the first two rounds of the '95 draft. It also seems so long ago that Taylor was supposed to be a mainstay in center field and solidify the top of the Phils' order with Rollins. But baseball is a crazy game sometimes. Anyway, Taylor had a bit of a rough weekend in his debut for the Barnstormers. In his team's three-game sweep over the Road Warriors, Taylor went 0-for-10 with three strikeouts and a walk. Sure, it's just three games, but the quality of the pitching in the Atlantic League is really, really bad. *** Since I'm at the ballpark more often than not, I don't get to listen to the team's TV and radio announcers all that much. That said, it was kind of odd hearing Scott Graham on TV instead of just the radio.

Russian jetliner crash caught on surveillance video; 50 dead
A Russian jetliner crashed on landing in the city of Kazan, killing all 50 aboard, authorities there reported Sunday.
Tatarstan Airlines flight 363 carried 44 passengers and a crew of six, Emergency Situations Ministry spokeswoman Irina Rossius said. There were no survivors.
The dead included Lt. Gen. Alexander Antonov, the regional chief of Russia's Federal Security Service, and Irek Minnikhanov, the son of Tatarstan regional President Rustam Minnikhanov, Russia's state news service RIA Novosti reported.
A British national was also among those killed, the UK foreign ministry said.
The Boeing 737 took off from Moscow's Domodedovo International Airport, about 700 kilometers (450 miles) west of Kazan, Rossius said.
There was no immediate indication of the cause of the crash, which occurred about 7:25 p.m., the ministry said. Russia's Interstate Aviation Committee has launched an investigation, and the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and Boeing are assisting.
Boeing said it "extends its deepest condolences to the families of those who perished.
The jet was 23 years old and had been in service with at least eight airlines, including Air France, Uganda Airlines and Bulgaria Air, according to aviation industry websites.
In a November 2012 flight, it was forced to cut short a flight to Moscow and return to Kazan after losing cabin pressure, according to the website AeroInside.
Russia has tried to improve its checkered reputation for air safety in recent years.
In 2011, then-President Dmitry Medvedev grounded two classes of Soviet-era aircraft after a pair of crashes that killed more than 90 people, including a charter plane crash that killed an entire professional hockey team.
Medvedev said Russia would have to upgrade its aircraft fleet, step up safety standards and radically cut the number of airlines.

National Childminding Initiative and Guidelines
The National Childminding Initiative provides supports for childminders and for people interested in becoming childminders. It is administered locally by the City and County Childcare Committees (CCCs). A first step to becoming a childminder would be to contact your local City and County Childcare Committee to avail of their Quality Awareness Lecture Programme. On completion of this programme, childminders may avail of a capital grant of up to €1,000 under the Childminder Development Grant Scheme. This can be used to buy safety equipment, toys or to make minor adjustments to the childminder's home to enhance or establish the childminding service.
The National Guidelines for Childminders, recently launched by the Office of the Minister for Children, will assist childminders by providing guidance for good practice in the area. They contain details on:
- nationally agreed guidelines for good childminding practice;
- detailed information on Statutory Notification to the Health Service Executive (HSE) and Voluntary Notification;
- services provided to childminders by the City/County Childcare Committees, the Childminder Advisory Officers and Childminding Ireland;
- contact details of relevant organisations, including addresses and telephone numbers.
Download a copy of the National Guidelines for Childminders - Revised August 2008
Childcare Services Relief (Childminders' tax exemption)
Childminders taking care of 3 or fewer children under the age of 18 may be entitled to avail of the Childcare Services Relief from the Revenue Commissioners, provided their annual childminding income comes to no more than €15,000.
To apply for the Childcare Services Relief, childminders are obliged to make an annual tax return of their childminding income to the Revenue Commissioners and must also provide evidence that they have notified their local City or County Childcare Committee through the Childminder Advisory Officer that they are providing a childminding service.
Further details are available in the National Guidelines for Childminders.

romfs | download | related (boot) (embedded) (ports) | contact
romfs is a space-efficient, small, read-only filesystem originally for Linux and used by some Linux based projects. It is a block-based filesystem, that means it makes use of block (or sector) accessible storage driver (like disks, CDs, ROM drives). It is part of stock Linux kernels since about version 2.1.21 (about January, 1997). All current (2.4--2.6) kernel sources contain support for romfs, but depending on the distributor, it might not have been compiled in.
A working Linux system requires the kernel, and at least some programs running, which obviously needs a filesystem too. Most Linux disk filesystems are designed to be high performance, supporting all POSIX features, sometimes elaborate recovery on crashes (journaling), and that usually makes them quite heavy-weight, and thus often inappropriate in some special purposes.
romfs makes two shortcuts: first, it's read-only, you can't
use your disk if it's a romfs disk, you must
build its image beforehand. Second, it stores only the absolute
minimum required from a filing system. No modification dates,
no unix permissions. These all might sound as large drawbacks,
but they are usually not.
You can browse the kernel code at any LXR site, see google:
The description of the filesystem layout is available at:
Got questions? You can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I am Janos Farkas.
There are at least two main uses where romfs, despite its limitations, is almost perfect.
romfs itself, although it may sound weird at first, cannot handle ROMs of any kind. It is just a file system, working over a block device. If you need to access a real ROM device, you need another driver to make your device appear as a disk.
An example driver for the 2.0 kernel versions can be found at:
Some Linux distributions use romfs during booting, or initial setup time, the most prominent are some PPC and Sparc systems.
SILO (sparc-boot.org),
the Sparc
bootloader, also supports loading kernels from romfs boot
See also the
SILO project page at freshmeat.
the microcontroller Linux, is a port of the kernel, and
selected user-space programs to capable, embedded
processors, like some
smaller Motorola m68k,
and ARM systems.
In turn, uClinux is used, or was mentioned as used by the following projects and companies:
KiSS, which became known from probably the first consumer DVD player supporting DivX. Some(?) of their players run Linux and have the firmware in romfs format. Now they are apparently a Cisco/Linksys venture.
Axis has developed an embedded chip for Linux (no less!) called ETRAX. It's not just a CPU, but a "system-on-a-chip solution", containing even I/O and Ethernet controllers. On the software front, they also seem to have a modified genromfs in a different way to support including device nodes in the image.
The following sites contain other information about Linux related embedded projects:
KallistiOS, a
pseudo-microkernel operating system for gaming consoles
(currently DreamCast and GameBoy Advance),
also support romfs as a native filesystem.
See also for DreamCast development:
Vitaly A. Mamkin
created a romfs driver to be used under
It is available at
(Site seems disappeared when checked at end of 2002.)
Bo Branten has created a driver to access romfs format filesystems under Windows NT/2000. See his page for details.
Harald Welte has developed a (user-space) tool to extract files from romfs images, called romfsck, available from the above page.
eCos from Red Hat, is an embedded, unix-like, fully customizable operating system kernel, which seems to have a component called ROMFS, presumably to access ROMs available in specific architectures, but it's obviously different from the one in the Linux kernel. How different? I just don't know.
now mostly famous for its
ARM architecture,
had some machines with RISC OS,
which included a
(ROM filing system)
apparently a virtual filesystem
to access ROMs of peripherals (podules?).
Information is scarce, even
at Google.
ARM range of processors
was later bought by Intel,
in the process of improving, renamed to
and some of them are now called
PCA Application Processors.
Older releases of genromfs (0.1-0.3) are available at
the old distribution site.

The Feast of Saint Philoumenos the Hieromartyr at Jerusalem Patriarchate
On Thursday the 15th/28th of November 2013, the Hieromartyr Saint Philoumenos the Hagiotaphite was commemorated one day in advance due to pastoral reasons.
The feast was celebrated at Jacob's Well, where the then Hegoumen, Archimandrite Philoumenos, had suffered a martyr's death on the 16th/29th of November 1979. Following a decision in 2009 of the Holy and Sacred Synod of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem, the Saint's martyrdom was added to the Synaxarion of Hieromartyrs (Martyrology).
His Beatitude Theophilos, our Father and Patriarch of Jerusalem, led the divine Liturgy on the morning of the aforementioned day. Co-officiating were the Most Reverend Kyriakos, Metropolitan of Nazareth; the Patriarchal Commissioner in Bethlehem, His Eminence Theophylaktos, Archbishop of Jordan; and the Most Reverend Isaiah, Metropolitan of Tamassos and Orinis, visiting from the Church of Cyprus. The liturgy was held in the presence of a crowd of local Orthodox faithful from the region of Samaria but also from Jerusalem, and pilgrims from Greece, Russia, Romania as well as a group from Cyprus, led by the Metropolitan of Tamassos, Isaiah. The choir chanted under the direction of the Head Cantor of the All-Holy Church of the Resurrection, Archimandrite Aristovoulos, in Greek, Arabian and Russian.

NEW YORK (AP) A person familiar with the deal tells The Associated Press the New York Mets and free agent right-hander Shaun Marcum have agreed to terms on a one-year contract.
The person said Thursday the contract is pending a physical. The person requested anonymity because the deal has not been announced. Several media outlets earlier reported the deal.
The 31-year-old Marcum fills an opening created when Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey was traded to Toronto. He'll join a rotation with Johan Santana, Jonathon Niese, Matt Harvey and Dillon Gee.
Marcum went 7-4 with a 3.70 ERA for Milwaukee last season in 21 starts. He missed time with an elbow injury. He also missed the 2009 season after having elbow-reconstruction surgery while with Toronto. Marcum is 57-36 with a 3.76 ERA in seven seasons.
The Mets are the last team to agree to terms with a major league free agent.

This week, I found a work around. Go to Google and begin your search with the query "site:apple.com" and then the key words you want to find in the app store. Here's a very broad search as an example:
This search seemed to return far more relevant results for me. Like the App Store, I was able to see prices and ratings on one screen. Maybe it's because I have more experience searching with Google, but I also felt like the browsing process was much more efficient. Although this search returned 305,000 results, I noticed that there started to be a lot of duplicates on the fourth or fifth page. I also noticed that a lot of the obscure and seemingly irrelevant hits that I would get with a similar search through the App Store were weeded out, or at least moved to much later in the results. Overall, this seemed like a much better route for casual browsing than working through the app store.

Peugeot's 50cc V-Clic was the UK's top selling scooter during August (according to industry statistics published by the MCIA) and it is currently on offer at £929 (Please remember this is a limited time offer which may have ended). The latest figures from the AA's British Insurance Premium Index (June 2012) show that the average cost of a comprehensive car insurance policy has risen to £1034.
It isn't only insurance costs that are encouraging British motorists to seek more affordable alternatives. President of the AA Edmund King told BBC News that the cost of filling up the average family car has risen by £5 since July and in April the top rate of road tax (VED) rose to £1030.
Running costs for the 50cc scooters like the V-Clic are also very modest compared to the average car. Road tax is just £16 per year and fuel consumption is frugal at around 100 miles per gallon. Parking is almost universally free.
Sales of new scooters in the UK rose by 11.7% last year and demand is up by a further 5.3% in the first eight months on 2012. Peugeot Scooters reported a 46% rise in sales last year, which they attribute to their range of affordable 50-125cc machines aimed squarely at the commuter market.

4. We have designed and developed our ISO image with honeypot, ids, flow analysis, and processing tools, in order to capture data compatible with UNAM-ST (UNAM Security Telescope). All this information (malware samples, pcap files, payload data, stats, etc.) is available to The Honeynet Project and other organizations partners of UNAM-CERT.
5. We deployed a malware lab for automated analysis.
1. We are developing Xibalbá, our automated sandnet. This system is based on Truman and other tools wich provide features of monitoring, behavior analysis, queue system, multi-client, support for Windows platform and so on. Some tools have been adapted for specific purposes.
2. UNAM-ST has been deployed. It have some information sources such as UNAM-darknet, Core-sensors, Universities-sensors, etc. It can share information with organizations focused on computer security and incident response.
3. We have been working with some tools such as Qebek, Cuckoo, Glastopf, Phoneyc, Dionaea, Honeytrap, Kippo, Honeywall, Honeyd, Honeyc, etc. on low/high interaction honeypots.
4. We have improving web interfaces for UNAM-ST and Xibalbá. The focus of such improvements are visualization, sharing and automatization.
5. We just started research on virtual enviroments for malware labs using XEN and Qemu.
6. We are just starting design of a detection and tracking system for botnet activities with capabilities of evidence gathering, simulation and compatibility with UNAM-ST. This year it will be one of our developments.
We have identified and clasified common attacks in order to generate useful stats. We are using different techniques such as statistical, behavior and signature analysis.
Some attacks have specific behaviors, many systems are attacked in specific times (holidays and free days) running ssh bruteforce attemps, some of them with GBs of logs and duration up to week. Using kippo honeypot we can make stats to know more common login attemps, some of our sensors report "alpine" as the top used password. It could be a kind of bot looking for mobile devices.
Main suspicious activities includes common ports such as 445, 1433, 1434, 22, 135, 80, etc. We can analyze information and take advantage of other tools like honeyclients in order to get information of suspicious URL, domains, blacklisted IP, etc.
UNAM-ST let us share information easily with many organizations, and we can combine or use tools like hpfeeds.
Improvements on visualization can help to more easily determine trends and behavior. It's the reason we are planning it as one of our focus areas during this year.
We had some troubles with sensor deployment on a big scale (academic). The first reason is type of analysis and number of IP addresses asigned for honeypots.
1. "UNAM Security Telescope", Computer Security Congress, Mexico 2010. (Spanish).
1. We completed one of our goals related with deployment of UNAM Security Telescope, and now we can share information.
2. This year and next, we are planning to get involved on visualization and botnet monitoring. Focus will be at tool development, plugins or improvements for specific tasks.
3. We will working on automated processing system of high interaction honeypot deployment. (installation,gathering,analysis,cleaning,restoring,switching)
Every year we organize a Computer Security Congress. It's a balanced meeting wich includes technical and non-technical talks. Main purposes are: to share experiences, to discuss trends and to give attendees a better perspective of computer security around mexican networks and around the world.

Design lovers from far and wide poured into NYC's Pier 94 this weekend to get their fill of the latest home goods at the Architectural Digest Home Show, and Inhabitat was also on the floor searching for the greenest of the crop. We were excited to see quite a few eco-minded exhibitors and wares on display, ranging from pendant lights made of old microphones to flourishing herb gardens to Venus flytrap-shaped urinals. If you weren't able to make it to the show, click through our gallery to see our top green picks!
Urban Green Furniture caught our attention with their simple and modern furniture, which is hand-crafted in Brooklyn, NY. They use FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)-certified wood and safe and allergen-free finishes, and all of their pieces are handcrafted in their Brooklyn shop.
We also popped by Donna Brady Kennedy's Re-Surface booth to check out her conversation-starting Solo Lights, which are made of microphones. The designer's husband was manning the booth, and explained that she tries to use reclaimed mics for her lights, but sometimes purchases new ones.
Along with their always aesthetically-pleasing refrigerator models, Liebherr was eager to showcase their new BioFresh technology, which helps keep food waste at bay. The specially-designed compartments can keep food fresh up to three times longer than in traditional refrigerators.
BKLYN Designs veteran Palo Samko's booth was a wealth of new treasures. One of our favorite items was this bespoke bonsai tree, complete with a miniature business man and what we can only assume is a "corporate" ladder?
This piece by artist and designer Catherine Latson caught our eye with its unique, almost-avian look, but upon further inspection, we learned that what we thought were feathers were actually Beech leaves that the artist collected, pressed and preserved herself.
If you're looking for a new gate, railing or security fence, Compass Ironworks offers hand-forged options made of 97% recycled content in the USA. The company also operates completely off the grid (they create their own power using a plant-based bio-fuel) and many of the team members even utilize a carpool to cut down on their travel emissions.
Reactions ranging from fear to adoration were seen around Clarkmade's "Venus flytrap" urinal. Clark Sorensen crafts the hand-made, one-of-a-kind porcelain urinals in his San Francisco studio.
Though we just saw them a few months ago at the opening of their new Breezehouse in New York, it's always nice to see BluHomes' familiar prefab face.
Appliance company Miele teamed up with vertical garden specialist EcoWalls to create this flourishing herb and flower-filled booth. To see more photos, check out our full post here.
We almost missed Heather Kocsis' booth, but we're so glad we didn't. Once we spotted them, the Ontario-based artist's intricate 3-D works drew us in with their distorted perspectives and amazing details. Click here to see more of these intriguing pieces.

Phillip G. Clampitt Ph.D.
"Changing Neural Pathways Every Class Period"
"Anyone can talk, but few do so strategically"
Program Goals
About the orientation
"Effective communication is the lifeblood of a successful organization.
It reinforces the organization's vision, connects employees
to the business, fosters process improvement, facilitates change, and drives
business results by changing employee behavior. No matter how you look at it,
communication is an important part of the business landscape
and cannot be taken for granted".*
That's why we believe that communication students should be
striving for excellence by: 1) continuously improving personal
communication skills such as listening, public speaking, writing
and managing conflict, 2) developing effective group communication skills
by knowing how to effectively and efficiently solve problems, 3) becoming critical
thinkers by understanding how to analytically and strategically
address communication problems and 4) developing communication
expertise by learning fundamental communication principles,
practices and theories.
Our time-proven teaching methods allow you to excel in
these four areas. Most of the classes involve group projects, guided
discussion, lots of feedback, and extensive cross examination
(questioning). For each project, you will be expected to defend
your ideas in an oral discussion and in a written report. We do this
to provide you with practical experiences, foster your intellectual
development, and build your communication competence. Most
students find the courses demanding in terms of time and rigor.
You will need to develop emotional toughness to manage the extraordinary
level of personal feedback and coaching you receive about your
skills, ideas, and presentations. All these activities are
designed to make you a thoughtful, strategic, and professional

Listed below is some advice from former communications students who have successfully trained their neural pathways.
"Taking a Phil class will definitely raise your stress levels. However, once the class is over, you will realize that it was all worth it." -Jerome Allen
"Do not concern yourself with what you believe Phil is "looking for" as the "right answer," rather construct a unique solution to the problem and develop a strong line of rationale and you will succeed beyond measure" -Marcus Reitz
"GO TO CLASS!!! No matter how many notes you print off the website, you will never get all the information! Also...read, read, read! If you don't read, the multiple choice questions in the exams are going to kick your butt!" -Angela Stangel
to Prof. C's Site
Your personal success hinges on effective communication. In fact, the #1 factor in hiring a candidate is "effective communication, both written and oral" which is ranked ahead of scholastic qualifications, specialized coursework and previous employment.
Likewise, your organization's success depends on effective communication. Companies that communicate effectively have higher market values, greater employee loyalty and lower employee turnover. These facts underpin my major professional goal of developing your critical thinking and communication skills so that you can effectively address virtually any type of communication problem you might encounter during your career.
7 Questions to guide your thinking...
Can you prove it?
So what?
What are your assumptions?
What is effectiveness?
What is the pattern?
What can you do about it?
Is it ethical?
