Test-and-treat strategies for HIV prevention involve early diagnosis and linkage to care, retention in care, and sustained antiretroviral therapy (ART) in order to increase the proportion of patients with undetectable viral load. For test-and-treat to be successful, a person who is HIV-infected must experience a sequence of events beginning with diagnosis, proceeding through engagement in medical care, and culminating in an undetectable viral load. Gardner, et al, called this the "spectrum of engagement in care." (1)
Gardner used findings from published literature to specify the proportion of living cases who were undiagnosed and those who were subsequently linked to care, retained in care, on ART and had undetectable viral load. We used data reported to the Oregon STD/HIV/TB Program to specify these proportions based on observations in Oregon.* (Figure 1)
Figure 1: Stage of Engagement in HIV Care among Oregon residents, 2011
Estimates of the number of people infected with HIV at each stage of Gardner's spectrum of care from infection to undetectable viral load based on cases living in Oregon as of December 31, 2011 (n=6,066)
Oregon has no independent estimate of the number of persons with undiagnosed HIV infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2) estimated that 18.1 percent of people infected with HIV in the U.S. have not yet been diagnosed. If 18.1 percent of people with HIV infection in Oregon have not yet been diagnosed, then the 6,066 reported cases believed to have been living in Oregon in December 2011 represented 81.9 percent of all people with HIV infection in Oregon. This suggests that there were 7,406 people living with HIV in Oregon in 2011, 1,340 of whom were unaware they were infected. **
If a known HIV case had a CD4 T-lymphocyte count or viral load reported to the Oregon HIV/STD/TB Program, then that was assumed to represent a health care visit for HIV. Using this assumption, 96 percent of known cases diagnosed in Oregon had a health care visit within a year of the date of diagnosis and 93 percent had a health care visit within three months of diagnosis. Gardner used a much lower estimate of 75 percent of known cases having a health care visit within a year of diagnosis.
Next we estimated the number and proportion of people retained in care as the number of cases living in Oregon that had at least one reported test (could be either a CD4 T-lymphocyte count or viral load) during 2011. Applying this definition, we found that 88 percent of resident cases were retained in care, again higher than the Gardner estimate of 50 percent. Based on data from Ryan White funded clinics in Oregon, 87 percent of Oregon patients were on ART compare to the 75 percent U.S. estimate used by Gardner. We found that 69 percent of residents with known HIV infection had a suppressed viral load (defined as a viral load of 200 or fewer copies per milliliter of blood) at the time of their most recent test and 57 percent had undetectable viral loads (defined as fewer than 48 copies per milliliter of blood). Gardner used an estimate of 80 percent having undetectable viral loads among those on ART, which resulted in an estimate of only 24 percent of living cases having an undetectable viral load.
Test-and-treat strategies seek to increase the proportion of patients with undetectable viral load in order to reduce HIV transmission. The Oregon HIV diagnosis rate has decreased to levels not seen since the mid-1980s (Figure 2). Decreases in HIV diagnoses are likely due to (a) advances in medical care and adherence to ART, (b) financial and support services that allow sustained access to medical care, and (c) early diagnosis and reducing the risk of infecting others.
Figure 2: HIV diagnosis in Oregon, rates per 100,000, 1981–2011
In summary, we found that linkage to care and retention in care was high in Oregon and may reach a ceiling. However, this analysis points to some opportunities for improvement in Oregon:
* Case residence was determined by (a) current ADAP residence or residence at the time of their most recent CD4 and viral load test and (b) if cases had a CD4 or viral load (2007–2011). Cases first diagnosed outside Oregon may not have been linked to care at the same rate as new diagnoses in Oregon, which was the sample used to estimate that 96 percent of diagnoses (2007–2010) were linked to care in one year.
**The estimate of 6,066 reported cases living in Oregon does not include cases originally reported in Oregon who have subsequently moved to another state or country. The estimate does include cases that were originally reported in another state who live in Oregon. The proportions that Oregon observed who were retained in care, , on ART, and who have undetectable viral loads, were based on resident cases. The proportions Gardner used did not control for people who moved to another state after diagnosis or moved into a state since diagnosis. Consequently, the Gardner estimates probably underestimate the numbers and proportions of people who met or exceed the threshold for various levels of the spectrum because they might very well have received care and had laboratory testing in another state that was not reported to the state where the case was originally reported.

Sydney Long is Australia's foremost landscape painter-etcher of the first half of the twentieth century.
During a visit to Cornwall in 1918 a colleague suggested to him that the graphic qualities and decorative feeling for line in his art meant it would be eminently suitable for etching.
That year he began to study printmaking part time at the Central School of Arts and Crafts under Frank Emanuel and, later, Malcolm Osborne and William P. Robins.
Lionel Lindsay was another spur to Long becoming a printmaker:
As Dorothy Ellsmore Paul observed in 1928: 'His art is such an intimate reflection of himself, his delightful etching so much the result of his careful training as a painter, that to isolate Sydney Long the etcher would be to present a false picture of him'.

By Harriet's World
Well, it is Halloween time again. Time to get together that stash of candy for all those darling trick or treaters.
I've got my candy ready. I have to prepare for about 200 trick or treaters where I live. That can really put a bite in the old budget if you are not careful. I don't know about you, but I like this holiday.
I love watching all the kids come around all dressed up and especially the little teeny, tiny ones. Dressed like little bears and tigers and mice. Holding on to their brother or sister's hand while they carefully climb my steps and brave my little dog to get their candy. I'm a sucker when I see that.
They hold up their little bag and look at you with all the wonder and trust in the world in their little eyes. They are not exactly sure what is going on but they are smack dab in the middle of all of it.
It just melts my heart. It is all I can do not to hand them the whole bowl of candy.
I love talking to the kids and telling them what I think of their costumes and such. I comment on someone I think might have on great makeup or someone who looks especially pretty. I might comment on an especially unusual costume. Just what ever happens to hit me at the time. They love it.
Often times I hear them go back out to their mom or dad and tell them that I liked their costume. I think it pleases the kids when you notice.
Sometimes it is a costume that I know they made up at home. You know not store bought. A lot of cleaver parents out there.
We are lucky here in Orangeville. Our children trick or treat in the day. Starting right after school and by 6:30 p.m. its all over and done with. My light goes out and the door does not open again for anyone. They all head over to the school carnival for the evening. I think it is great.
My hat is off to the people who coordinate this event. It is just wonderful. Our children are not out at night on the roads where it isn't safe.
Some of my friends don't like Halloween because they eat too much candy! They say they can't keep a stash before this night because they eat it. Well duh!
I have a solution to that problem. I do not buy candy that I will eat. I buy candy that I don't like. I'm a chocolate eater. So I do not buy chocolate candy to hand out. That way I don't have to worry.
There is plenty of wrapped stuff out there that is not chocolate covered. When the day rolls around I am not scrambling for candy. I go to my stash. Dump it all in a big bowl and I am good to go.
When the candy runs out I quit. It is that simple.
Well, that is my world, my universe. Until next time remember those infamous words of Woody Allen. "A good thing about being poor is that when you are 70 years old your children will not have you declared legally insane in order to gain control of your estate."

The Toronto Maple Leafs' inevitable regression
Cam Charron
March 14 2012 11:17AM
Back-track to February 8th. In analyzing the then-Toronto Maple Leafs' chance at a playoff spot, I wrote the following on this blog:
Should the shooting falter, I'm not convinced the team has the defense or goaltending to stay in a playoff spot.
A commenter who went by the subtle handle of "advancedstatsareafraud", more troll than anything, responded to the facts (the team had very modest possession rates and high percentages that were carrying the team at that point) with the following point:
When the leafs, with excessive PDO and way too low Fenwick, make the playoff - then finally people will come to realize that advanced stats are a complete fraud. The leafs laugh and are better then all this "regression to mean" talk.
This isn't necessarily to toot my own horn or the horn of the advanced statistical movement that has gained momentum in the hockey blogosphere, but it gives us a perspective at how team records are illusory. 60 minutes is not enough time to determine the best team in a hockey game, and neither is the next 60.
Even after a full 82-game season, which lasts around 5000 minutes, you still don't quite know exactly who the best team in the league is, and generally coaches and management will make decisions based on a mirage in the off-season to attempt to compete the following year.
That rarely works out.
Case in point, Brian Burke's former team, the Anaheim Ducks, were one of the worst possession teams in the NHL last season, and yet, after a strong second half with shooting percentages, they began to win some games and were the 4th playoff seed despite being massively out-shot throughout the regular season and having scored just four more goals than their opponent. Unfortunately, however, the Ducks were well out of their element against the Nashville Predators, lost in six games, unable to stave off fate for much longer, and went into the offseason with optimisim rather than regret.
Rather than recognize the issue, general manager Bob Murray traded down at the draft and staved off any attempt at a re-build, going with the same core for the next season, only to have the Ducks crash and burn out of the gate and not improving until they hired former Washington coach Bruce Boudreau after firing newly-minted Leafs coach Randy Carlyle. Boudreau has helped the Ducks' fortunes considerably, being a possible cause for better underlying performance leading to a better wins and losses record. Boudreau's replacement in Washington, Dale Hunter, has seen the reverse happen and, fooled by low percentages in the early part of the season, the Capitals are now worse off with one fewer guy around to share the blame.
For a manager, tracking the underlying numbers are important because they give you a clearer picture on your team. Whether Brian Burke calls advanced hockey statistics "horses***" or not, the advanced stats in February showed a team much worse than its record indicated. At some point, percentages will bite back, and the Leafs' have certainly felt that effect over the last 17 games. This slump could be a blessing in disguise, however; the Leafs weren't a good enough team to compete in the postseason, and it means that Brian Burke won't take the team's first half successes too seriously when it comes time to shed or recruit bodies and salary in July and August.
When I say "percentages" I generally refer to PDO, the most important advanced statistic. It is the simple addition of team shooting percentage and team save percentage, usually calculated at 5-on-5 situations only. Since every shot must result in a save or a goal, the league average PDO is 1, or 1000, or 100%. Part of the reason PDO works (teams slowly trend to 1 throughout the season) is because the more open a game your forwards play and the more scoring chances they generate, the more open they'll leave themselves on defence. When you "trade chances" you are literally doing this—trading chances, and no team has shown a real ability to have a free-flowing game on one side and tighten up in their own end. The best example are the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are first in the league in shooting percentage, but dead last in the league in save percentage.
Teams with better goalies can expect a PDO of slightly over 1 to account for the fact that their save percentage will be higher in the long run, but for Toronto, who don't have a goalie who has posted above league average save percentage throughout a good length of time, they should expect a PDO of slightly below 1, in the 98.5% to 99.5% range without getting some serious luck shooting the puck as Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul were getting earlier in the season.
This graph here will show how the Leafs' PDO has balanced out over 7-game segments, each representing one tenth of the season:
[I generated data via timeonice.com scripts - a terrific FAQ can be found here]
As you can see, the Leafs' PDO never dropped below 1 until the final segment. The Leafs have been stuck with some unfortunate luck in the last 14 games, posting a shooting percentage of 6.6% in Segment 9 and 6.5% in Segment 10 (the season average of shooting percentage before that was 9.2%).
To follow the Leafs' individual shooting and save percentages by segment...
|7-game Segment
|Segment Save%
|Segment Shot%
|Cumulative Sv%
|Cumulative Sh%
The shooting percentage started off strong, fell a bit between games 15 and 21, and really picked up, as did the save percentage, between games 36-42, would would have been late December/early January (Toronto went 4-2-1 in that stretch with two shutouts and a 7-3 win over Tampa Bay and a win against Detroit). But it has really come back to earth and its been noticeable in the last few weeks, with Toronto going, as it isn't either worth repeating, x-y-z over the last 17 games.
If Burke is to make any additions in the offseason, his mindset has to be getting players who can control the shot clock and bring the Leafs up to a team who has the puck more often than the other team. In a game where so much is decided by unreliable, unrepeatable and unsustainable percentages, it's better off being a team that doesn't have to bank on them to succeed. Right now, Toronto isn't one of those teams.
leafs suck and will prove it yet again by not making the playoffs, but they will keep everyones hopes up as always, just to crush them in the end.

This makes me sad. Sad because it's true. Gah!
March 14 2012, 03:21PM
That first comment HAS to be purposefully and meticulously created to troll... At least "advancedstatsareafraud" was borderline.
Trolling is an art; even if advancedstatsareafraud wasn't exactly the Sistine Chapel, it was better than ChristXDisciole's equivalent of Microsoft clip art..

Tough to see what happened to Reimer. He is on his knees all the time and it is easy for people to shoot high and glove side. Come to think of it it must be how is being coached!
Please tell me the bit about PDO being "the most important advanced statistic" is not serious.
March 15 2012, 08:26AM
@JP Nikota
I'd say that's accurate in some ways.
It helps remove variance from a players and teams results. We can literally see how much "luck" has influenced the outcomes and make pretty strong predictions about the future based on it.
Hey Kent!
March 15 2012, 12:13PM
@Arnel Fausto
Newsflash: That's how butterfly goalies are taught to play and how they are beaten - high glove.
Please tell me the bit about PDO being "the most important advanced statistic" is not serious.
PDO may not be the most important *statistic* in evaluating a player... but it may be the most important *concept*.
Understanding what it is, what it does, how it changes, and why it's there is arguably the most important concept in advanced statistics: the understanding that there's a lot of luck/variance that's outside of a player's control and that won't last over a long period.
That's really a prerequisite for good hockey analysis altogether, let alone advanced stats.

Loved Ones of Independent Seniors Sometimes Need Help to Take Keys Away
Please enter your comments below.
Time to take away the keys
I recently just relocated form Buffalo to help my mother take care of my stepfather who is ill. When i got here he drove us home from the airport, i was never so scared the ride home was more frightening that the old wild mouse carnival ride.I insisted to my mother that he can't be behind the wheel not only for our safety but the safety of others. He was very mad but we took the keys away had his Doctor advise him that he can't drive anymore. I believe that as we age we loose what are the most important skills needed for driving. #1 vision, #2 hearing #3 reaction time. once a person gets to a certain age it should be mandatory that the state seeing that they issue the license they should be held responsible should a senior driver hurt or in this case kill someone.

Don't forget that you're able to add the extra slot to the ToT weapons too.
Alright. Thanks for all the answers. Was very unsure because of the extra agi etc.
Also, depending on what stats you want depends on which LFR ToT dagger you go with. Best bet would probably be the setup you have equipped in the screenshot because you are using the VP trinket with the god awful amount of hit. Side note, I don't see Rupture on your bars. It looks like you might have it macroed into Shroud?
Yeah. I have reforged out of most of the hit I have So I wouldn't want anymore of that.
And yes, I have a [combat] [nocombat] macro there. It's mostly for when I PvP (Subterfuge) tho.
Fyn's in your MH, Spiritsever (with gem) in your OH. Keep it that way until you get heroic daggers.

So if I'm only doing LFRs/world bosses the daggers I have equipped is BiS?
If you're lucky enough to get a dagger from a h scenario daily reward bag, I believe it would be better for your MH than 502 LFR daggers.
But like a previous poster commented, the Spiritsever w/ legendary gem will be your best bet in your OH until you can get a 522 ilvl dagger. So, if you only do LFRs yes, it's BiS for your OH.
Not as offhand I don't think.

Keep this in mind with 516 daggers: You can not put the prismatic socket on them so the 502s are worth another 160 agi that way (doubt that would overcome the dps benefit of the 516 though).

Ireland turned up the heat in freezing conditions to push NZ all the way, before eventually succumbing to a 22-19 defeat.
Ireland turned up the heat in freezing conditions to push New Zealand all the way, before eventually succumbing to a 22-19 defeat in Christchurch on Saturday.
With the scores level at 19-19 and one minute remaining in the match, All Blacks pivot Dan Carter broke Irish hearts with a last-gasp drop goal to win the game and the series.
It was a valiant effort from the visitors, who led the world champions by one point (9-10) at half-time, but were left playing catch-up following an early try to Aaron Smith two minutes after the break.
But the men in green managed to claw their way back and when All Blacks full-back Israel Dagg was yellow-carded in the 72nd minute, Ireland were presented with a golden opportunity to retake the lead from 49m out.
However, Jonathan Sexton's attempt had the direction but not the distance as the ball fell agonisingly short. From there the hosts put themselves into a position to set up Carter for the match-winning drop.
His first attempt off his right boot, however, clipped an Irish hand and sailed wide. But Carter wouldn't miss the second attempt, and this time – off his left foot – sent the ball between the sticks.
Jubilation for the All Blacks, heartbreak for the brave Irish.
Declan Kidney's troops had promised they would up the intensity after being run off the park a week ago and they were certainly true to their word as the visitors – roared on by dozens of Irish fans – threatened to snaffle their first-ever Test win over the All Blacks in their 26th attempt.
Ireland supporters would have been choking on their Guinness after looking at the scoreboard to see the visitors 10-0 ahead in the opening quarter of the match thanks to an early try from Conor Murray and the boot of Sexton.
Ireland made the most of an early line-out close to New Zealand's line with brilliant effect, mauling the ball superbly before Murray – despite having no blindside support – made a dart to get the ball over for the try. Sexton added the conversion and nine minutes later he added his first penalty.
The All Blacks were able to put their first points on the board through a Carter penalty in the 21st minute. As in the first Test, Ireland went off the boil when the game headed into the second quarter and as New Zealand's intensity grew, the home side forced errors at the breakdown. This allowed Carter to add two more three-pointers that closed the gap even further.
The number ten had a chance to put his team in front on the stroke of half-time, but his fourth penalty attempt didn't have the legs and allowed Ireland to head into the half-time sheds 10-9 ahead.
That lead lasted just two minutes after the resumption before Smith grabbed his first Test try after a burst from Sonny Bill Williams. Williams crashed into the Ireland pack and as the All Blacks piled in, their livewire scrum-half was driven over the line for the try that Carter duly converted.
Any thoughts that the floodgates might open as they did in Auckland seven days ago, were dispelled as Ireland rallied with Sexton adding his second penalty in another strong attacking period that had the All Blacks scrambling to make try-saving tackles.
But with that storm weathered, the momentum again swung the other way and Carter's fourth penalty extended New Zealand's lead to 19-13.
Ireland then came back with two more Sexton penalties levelling the scores to set up a dramatic finale.
Pressure mounted on New Zealand as Adam Thomson joined Kieran Read on the injured list, leaving them only two specialist loose forwards. Dagg's sin-binning for a late charge on Rob Kearney didn't help matters either for the hosts.
But at 19-all and a man down, the All Blacks rallied one last time and fittingly, Carter – a Canterbury local – was there to hold his nerve and seal the outcome.
Man of the match: For New Zealand, Dan Carter was obviously the man of the moment thanks to his match-winning drop-goal. But it's hard to look past the gallant Irish who silenced their critics with a superb effort that came within fractions of the most famous Irish win in history against the world champions. And it's for that reason why we've opted for a collective award to the entire Ireland team.
Moment of the match: With 40 seconds of the match remaining, it has to be Carter's winning drop goal.
Villain of the match: Israel Dagg's brain implosion that so nearly cost his team defeat.

For New Zealand:

Now that the dust has settled in the northern hemisphere, Planet Rugby looks at the men who shone in Week 2 of November's Tests.
Now that the dust has settled in the northern hemisphere, Planet Rugby looks at the guys who stole the show in week two of the November Tests.
Victories were picked up by Samoa, Australia, France, New Zealand, South Africa, Tonga and Canada in an entertaining round of action.
So without further ado, here comes our offering – be sure to send in your own 15-1 team line-ups.
15 Berrick Barnes (Australia) – Barnes spotted space in behind England's defence and made the hosts pay on more than one occasion. England were hoping Toby Flood and Alex Goode would outthink the Wallabies but in fact it was the Kurtley Beale/Barnes combination that stole the show.
14 Nick Cummins (Australia) – Cory Jane's Rome cameo was something out of the top drawer but for his all-action display at Twickenham, it had to be Cummins. Known as the 'Honey Badger', the Force man was a running machine on Saturday and fully deserves his selection here.
13 George Pisi (Samoa) – What about that finish in the corner? The Northampton Saint has been in top form in England and continued that in international colours with a top showing. He caused Wales all kinds of problems and is picked ahead of All Black Conrad Smith.
12 Ben Tapaui (Australia) – Not bad for his first go at inside centre in the absence of Pat McCabe. Tapuai was a cool customer for the Wallabies and easily gets in ahead of closest challenger Marcelo Bosch, who was slick for Argentina during the early exchanges in Lille.
11 Vincent Clerc (France) – Due to the Ireland XV playing a non-cap international, Craig Gilroy has been left in the cold. It's tough on the Ulsterman but rules are rules and we have instead gone for Clerc, whose brace saw him overtake Philippe Saint-Andre in the try charts.
10 Tusi Pisi (Samoa) – It was harsh to leave out Frederic Michalak and Kurtley Beale but the performance of Pisi couldn't be ignored. The Hurricanes man calmly put the Samoans in the right areas, kicked his goals and was exceptional outside of the man named below.
9 Kahn Fotuali'i (Samoa) – Ospreys training will be interesting in December. Fotuali'i was a leader for Samoa at the Millennium Stadium and played a crucial role in setting up George Pisi while his general play overshadowed Mike Phillips. Nick Phipps was busy for Australia.
8 Kieran Read (New Zealand) – The All Blacks stand-in skipper opened the scoring in Rome finishing a wonderful pass from Conrad Smith, as New Zealand toiled and then rampaged to another convincing victory. No other All Black player made more metres.
7 Michael Hooper (Australia) – Robbie Deans will have some serious thinking to do when David Pocock returns to full fitness. Hooper was everywhere at Twickenham, a nuisance at the breakdown and the Wallabies leading tackler, along with finding holes in the defence.
6 Yannick Nyanga (France) – Brilliant on both sides of the ball. France's top tackler with 14, the flanker capped his return to Test rugby with a well-taken try. Mention for Francois Louw.
5 Nathan Sharpe (Australia) – The Australia captain tweeted on game-day how excited he was ahead of facing England at Twickenham and he delivered. A brutal force going forward and in defence, the cut under his eye told you everything you needed to know about his day.
4 Pascal Pape (France) – France's new leader shone for the second week in a row after the demolition of Australia, piling on the tackles and carrying effectively to get his team moving.
3 Ben Alexander (Australia) – So much for the scrum being weak. As the game progressed, Alexander kept improving, giving first Joe Marler and then Mako Vunipola serious problems.
2 Adriaan Strauss (South Africa) – Two tries including a brilliant interception score made Strauss a certainty for the hooker spot. A powerful, industrious afternoon for the Cheetahs star proved that South Africa can live without the presence of Bismarck du Plessis.
1 Sakaria Taulafo (Samoa) – On another famous night for Samoa in Cardiff their pack were outstanding, and no one more so than Wasps prop Taulafo. He gave Wales newbie Aaron Jarvis was given a torrid time at the scrum, winning Samoa some valuable possession.

A flurry of serving spoons, dozens of industrial-size casseroles and jumbo coffee urns set the scene every Sunday at O'Bryant Square in downtown Portland, Oregon.
Potluck in the Park, a community-wide program, has been serving hot meals to anyone in need since 1991. An integral part of the effort is Christ Episcopal Church of Lake Oswego. The congregation has faithfully provided the casseroles and beverages for Potluck in the Park for 13 years.
"The heart of the potluck is the casserole because it's warm and offers protein and substance," says Christ Episcopal program coordinator Alison Gilmore.
On average, 250 to 500 people are served each Sunday.
"At our 16th annual BBQ, we fed over 1,000 people in just over two hours," adds Alison's husband and co-coordinator, Larry.
Preparing enough huge casseroles weekly to feed the masses is not an easy task, but with generous donations from the Oregon Culinary Institute and the Western Culinary Institute, the church crew is able to pull it off.
Every Friday, volunteers head to the institutes to pick up "leftovers" from the culinary classes. They collect proteins such as fresh lamb, beef and pork, and starches like potatoes and rice. Back in the church's commercial kitchen, ingredients are sorted and evaluated. Alison and Larry come in on Saturdays to determine which fillers are needed to make tasty hot dishes.
Right after the Sunday service, cooks head to the kitchen to make 12 huge casseroles. They are picked up at 2 p.m. by volunteers for delivery to O'Bryant Square.
Still more church members join dozens of other community volunteers including Boy Scout troops and service groups who donate additional foods and help serve the meal.
By 3 p.m., a long line of hungry people wraps around O'Bryant Square.
Says Alison, "Many say, 'bless you,' and 'thank you.' One man lost his job and came for a hot meal in the park. Eventually, he got his job back, and he started serving with us. Once people start helping, they don't stop."
Alison's recipes for Taco Casseroles, Baked Mixed Vegetables and Simply Sinful Breakfast Bake draw great reviews.
If you or a group you belong to cooks for a charitable, spiritual or other purpose, we'd love to hear from you. Submit your story

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Warhammer Online Correspondent John Lisenby Writes this guide that introduces the early mechanics of the game to new players who might ot be too familair with them.
What do you do when you log on? Where do you go? Who do you talk to? What does that green circle over that NPC's head mean? Don't look any further. Here are the answers you seek. This short guide goes over a number of elements that should help you get started if you're a first time player.When you first log in to this new game world you will find many things to do. What do you do first? Me, I found out all I could about the controls, interface, and the chat. It's really pretty simple, and I've laid out a quick overview of each below:
Read the guide here.
Jon Wood
Managing Editor
I am sorry, but this isn't a guide.
It's title gives a user the wrong idea, like Bait and Switch for more shady businesses.
It should be titled something like ... WAR's UI and beginner tips or something where it doesn't elude to telling the new player that this has what he needs to play WAR for the first time. Talks nothing of the two sides, the classes, the races, the starting areas, the point of the game, etc. How items work, housing ( I know, none but still you get the idea).
Please use more responsibility when publishing this stuff, tons of users look here to share information.
Really good beginner guide. It hits the much needed items, and some of the unique aspects of the game, and getting started. Good job, kudos to you.
"Anyone posting on this forum is not an average user, and there for any opinions about the game are going to be overly critical compared to an average users opinions." - Me
"No, your wrong.." - Random user #123
"Hello person posting on a site specifically for MMO's in a thread on a sub forum specifically for a particular game talking about meta features and making comparisons to other titles in the genre, and their meta features.
How are you?" -Me
Nice guide. Good job. I am going to link it from my guild forums where members who missed the initial rush are still trickling in daily.
I need a guide on the crafting stuff. I'm dumb. Specifically salvaging and talisman making. All I know is I gotta bunch of pretty little wisp thingies.:)
Always love the posters that critique the articles for not enough information. You have to realize that these posters have a word count limit, so they just can't be detailed like some want.
I thought the article was pretty good.
Is this "FRESH" like in "fresh meat" ?
nice article
my advice for absolute beginners would be:
do NOT join a server that has the status LOW on any side of the realms even if the system suggests that server for you. i experienced that first hand and heared it from friends as well. if you end up on a LOW population server you will miss out what makes the game great i.e. public quest (for pvers) and rvr szenarios, world rvr (for pvpers).
i know this suggestion may be counter productive but i had to tell a lot of people that otherwise would have quit the game to try a mid-populated server and after they saw what the game was about they said theyd stay.
even the login queue on the HIGH populated servers makes up for it presenting a really living, breathing, warring mmo with almost instant pvp or pqs options
if your bored, visit my blog at:
http://craylon.wordpress.com/ dealing with the look of mmos with the nvidia 3d vision glasses
Good article. It has some useful *practical* tips for playing rather than getting into the broader concepts of the game (which would take dozens of articles to cover).
I was a beta tester and I even learned a new trick (the backpack filter) from the article. Thanks!
Regarding the circles; you forgot to mention that a blue circle over a Rally Master's head means that you have influence rewards available.

Actually, I was critiquing the title in being misleading. I never said the info wasn't good, and I even gave an alternative title as an example.
Please get your facts straight before coming at me.
And yes I know it's me, cause I was the only one with the gumption to stand up and state it in a clear non flaming troll way.
Ty for good informative article on how to start in here. I need all the help I can get and this is helpful for me. Keep up the good work
"And last of all there is a nice PDF file named "Player Guide".
I can't find this pdf. Is it in the WAR directory? on the DVD?
Just a note on the Bags. As you level up, you will automatically be given more bag space. And there is a pretty hefty amount of storage in the Bank (Located in the Capital Cities).
So, if you have stuff you want tokeep, fly (its real cheap) to the City and bank it. Like mats you have collected that are to high level to use.
Also, DO NOT vendor your Green or better items that drop and are not bound to you. Use the Auction House (yes, there are players out there with some Silver to spend) and you will have your 15g for the mount long before you hit 20. Plus a lot more.
Avoid the temptation to buy stuff on the AH unless it is at or just above your level, really cheap, and really, really good. Gear drops and rewards come often in WAR.
Good Hunting

Frequently Asked Questions
Our department offers introductory answers to frequently asked questions about our program, specific differences between our degree offerings, etc. Links throughout the answers will guide you to further information on our website or from other sources. Should you have any further questions, please fill out our contact us form.
General Questions
- What is the difference between an MEd program and this MAT program?
Compared to a typical MEd degree, this MAT degree program is focused more on the science and mathematics content and on how to do research than on general practice and educational theory.
- What are the educational benefits of these particular MAT degree programs?
Building on fundamental coursework in STEM education, adult learners will benefit from direct interaction with renowned experts and specialists in biology, chemistry, geosciences, mathematics, physics, science education, and mathematics education, as well as other related schools and departments. Interdisciplinary collaboration and real-world experience will help to integrate the core concepts of science with the subtleties of pedagogy that spring from allowing students to construct their own knowledge.
In advancing their career status, graduates of this program will have knowledge and skills to serve as innovative practitioners and qualified academicians. The knowledge in scientific research, mathematics and educational practice gleaned from their advanced study will allow them to effectively promote science and/or mathematics within K-16 classrooms. They and their students will be prepared to find acceptable solutions for the complex issues common in today's economic, political, and educational arenas.
- What if I'm not a traditional 'non-traditional' student?
Not only are the MAT courses student-centered, but so are the program options in order to better serve a diverse population with specific needs. Degree plans can accommodate elective hours to fulfill prerequisite deficiencies and content hours to address specialization area interests. Course sequencing enables students to maintain a full or partial load over independent semesters.
- How do I apply and what are the general admission criteria for the MAT programs?
Please refer to the graduate section or the UTD Prospective Students website for more information. Our advisor can answer questions about admissions.
- How much will it cost?
Students are billed depending on their residency status, and number of graduate courses. Recent legislation has and will continue to affect tuition and fee amounts; for updated information, please check the UTD Bursar's Office website.
- What courses are offered?
Visit our course descriptions and semester schedules.
When are courses offered?
All courses are offered at night or in the summer. See the current semester schedule.
- How many semester credit hours are required to complete the program?
Please refer to the Program Information page, but generally 36 graduate credit hours. The advisor can answer questions about admissions.
- Will my employer accept the MAT degree as a "real" degree?
All of the UT System universities are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).
- Can courses from a previous Master's degree apply toward this degree?
You are allowed to transfer up to 12 graduate semester hours with approval from your advisor. These courses must have been taken from an accredited university within the past seven years in order to be considered.
- Must I still apply for admissions into the program and take the GRE if I am not interested in pursuing a Master's Degree?
You must still apply for admission into the graduate program but if you classify yourself as non-degree seeking, you are allowed to take up to 12 semester hours without being required submit the two letters of recommendation. None of the MAT degrees in this department require the GRE at this time.
- What kind of certification will I receive?
Receiving an MAT degree will NOT confer teacher certification to you from the State of Texas. To receive Texas Teacher Certification you must complete other requirements outside the scope of this program.
- How can I find more information?
If you can't find the information you're looking for in our website, please contact us.
- What does my GRE score need to be?
Good news! At this time none of our MAT programs required the GRE.
- Do I need the TOEFL if I have a degree from a college/university in an English speaking country?
In general, you don't need the TOEFL if you have a degree from an English speaking country. However, contact both the International Student Services and Enrollment Services to confirm this information.
- Is there a Science Education or Mathematics Education doctorate degree?
Not at this time. If you are interested in requesting a doctorate in these areas, please contact the Office of the President.
- Do I really need to bother with NetID?
Yes! It's critical that you get your NetID set up as soon as possible. All official emails from your instructors will be sent directly to your UT Dallas email account, not to any other account even if you have provided that information to the department. Through NetID you can choose to forward this email account to the one you check most frequently. If you haven't set up your account, do that now!
- What is a Comet Card and do I really need one?
A Comet Card is the UT Dallas official identification. You must have your Comet Card number to be able to access the library from off-campus. This allows you to search for books, periodicals, research journals and other information without having to come to UTD. You must have a Comet Card if you are an online student; it is strongly recommended for students who are taking face-to-face courses, as well.

- Who might enroll in MAT-Mathematics Education face-to-face program – and why?
The MAT-ME degree helps to fulfill mathematics educators' need for depth in mathematics content as well as their need to understand current issues in mathematics education to become leaders in middle schools through community colleges. This traditional program is appropriate for:
- public/private school teachers needing mathematics content;
- mathematics educators seeking to continue/further studies in an area of high interest;
- district supervisors needing to understand current issues in mathematics education;
- community college instructors seeking content to advance their knowledge;
- university faculty seeking to improve their teaching and/or expand their research at the university level;
- training professionals needing to 'round out' their existing knowledge with pedagogical techniques that are applicable to a range of content areas; and,
- school leaders seeking to make sound decisions regarding high-stake investments in mathematics education procedures, practice, and policy.
- What if I'm an elementary mathematics teacher?
Elementary or Middle School mathematics teachers may wish to consider a Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies degree.
Science Education Questions
The MAT-SE degree helps to fulfill science educators' need for breadth in science content and depth in science content as well as their need to understand science education research to become leaders in K-16 educational institutions. The face-to-face strand is appropriate for students who would prefer to complete their degree through traditional means:
- public/private school teachers needing integrated science content across grade levels;
- science educators seeking to continue/further studies in an area of high interest;
- district supervisors needing to conduct and understand research in science education;
- community college instructors seeking content that may not be available locally;
- university faculty seeking to improve their teaching and/or expand their research methods at the university level;
- training professionals needing to 'round out' their existing knowledge with pedagogical techniques that are applicable to a range of content areas; and,
- school leaders seeking to make sound decisions regarding high-stake investments in science education procedures, practice, and policy.
Yes, you may apply to the program as a non-degree seeking student to begin your coursework. After 12 hours of successful coursework in science you may change your status to degree seeking. These 12 hours in science will count toward your MAT-SE degree as well as satisfy the program's entry requirements. Upon acceptance to the program, your advisor will help you select coursework to fulfill this requirement.
If you have never had a course in statistics and are not mathematically inclined, you would be well served to take a statistics class (beyond basic probability) at a community college. If you are adept at mathematics, the statistics we will be using will not be hard for you to learn. However, a course in educational statistics will support what you will be doing in the research courses. The UT Dallas course, STAT 5353, gives you the basic information you need.

Wanye picks his star
September 14 2009 02:23PM
Today is a most glorious day – a day we uphold one of the most beloved traditions in the OilersNation. No today is not the day we collectively turn on some drive by commenter and cause him to run back to the Jonas Brothers forum. Today is 2009-2010 Star Picking Day©. So let's gather round the Star picking tree and have ourselves a think shall we?
Picking a Star – and later a goat – for the season has been a long standing tradition with our crew of pirates. For the duration of the season if your Star does something mad decent – lights the lamp at a key point in a game for instance – you get to bask in the glow of the Star as he is "your guy." Should your Star go stone cold – or get traded as was the case last year when we picked Erik Cole – you are forced to sit quietly in the corner, speaking only when spoken to as you wait for the regular season to end.
Picking a star is a tricky business that requires a great deal of thinking. Anyone can pick Ales Hemsky and be reasonably assured that they will look quasi intelligent throughout the whole season. But be like our buddy Lee in the 2006 Season who famously picked Fernando Pisani as his playoff Star – and your genius will be praised from the highest tower for years to come.
We have basically the worst luck picking stars. Not only did we pick Cole last year, we also picked Ryan Smyth the year he was traded, Chris Pronger the year he left town due to family reasons and Eric Fichaud so many years back on the hunch "he could make it as a starter in the NHL." On that note of taking needless risks, we have deliberated the options before us, crushed a few dozen BLs over the weekend, and decided on our Star this year. Give ours a read and then go on record with your own Star for the season.
2009-2010 Star
This year took a little bit of soul searching, but we believe we have come up with an unlikely but deserving pick this year: Mike Comrie.
Yep, that's right. The very same Mike Comrie we have taken delight in booing these past 6 years. There are many folks around town that are of the mind that Comrie is a spoiled brat, a silk suit wearing dandy, a non-Oiler type more interested in dating celebrities than putting the biscuit in the basket. These same people might tell you that signing Comrie to a one year deal is akin to tendering an offer sheet to Lord Satan himself, except that Satan (as we all know) is eleven feet tall and could probably be of more use than another diminutive forward on a team that is already microscopically small.
Be that as it may, we just can't help but think that if we were Mike Comrie, we would have stayed far, far away from the City of Champions. A City that had not only turned its back on a guy who had seemingly done the same to us, but one that has seemingly had its fill of his family as well.
Instead he has done the impossible and returned to E-town and is shopping for a house as we speak. This takes some serious stones and we for one are impressed by this.
Yukon Jack, host of local radio and an all around funny guy had a take on Comrie returning to Oiler silks a few weeks back:
"Faced with the very real prospect of one of the most hated ex-Oilers in history returning to the team, I'm a little torn. Mike Comrie could show up at Rexall in 29 different sweaters and I'd go home hoarse from three periods of chirps regarding La-Z-Boys, Jay Leno jaw lines and Hilary Duff's cankles. But if he's in Copper 'n' Blue silks, then what? I'm not just booing a spoiled little turn- coat, I'm booing my favourite hockey team, and I don't do that, ever. I feel like my buddy broke up with his two-timing ex-girlfriend and I told him he's better off without her and what trash she was and that I never liked her anyways and that she really needed to do something about her moustache, and then he got back together with her. Awkward. What will I do if Mike Comrie once again dons the jersey he doesn't even deserve to wash, never mind wear? I don't know. "
We would like to throw out a suggestion to all of the fans facing a similar dilemma.
Cheer like this guy does. Cheer on a guy who may have had limited options but could have gone elsewhere, yet he chose to come home. Cheer on a guy that may throw up a front similar to most Pro Athletes, speaking about playing hard, skating to the net etc but has to be mildly concerned at the reception he faces throughout the year.
Edmonton has been plagued with players giving us the collective Royal Screw Job. Turning down offer sheets, signing 5 year deals and bouncing after year one, or refusing to come altogether though Edmonton was most definitely on his list of destinations. This has become all too familiar around these parts and we stand in the front of the line to boo these idiots off of RX1 ice each and every time they visit our grand City.
But returning to face the angry hordes? Faced with the very real prospect of missing the playoffs for a fourth year in a row? That takes some balls. Balls that we can applaud.
Yep, Comrie you are our Star for 2009-2010. You have our full and undivided attention and when we take our seat in Section 315, Row 96 Seat 1 on opening night, we will put our money where our mouth is and cheer you onto the ice.
Tomorrow: Picking the Goat.
Star: Dustin Penner (Book it)
September 14 2009, 02:34PM
Star: Gagner, dark horse Nilsson
Goat: One of Souray/Grebs/Gilbert.
September 14 2009, 02:37PM
You stole my pick. So as my second choice I'm going on record as picking one young fellow by the name of.......
Dustin Penner... 29 goals and 34 assists for a grand total of 63 points.
September 14 2009, 02:38PM
Star: O'Sullivan, dark horse JDD (despite Willis' fancy figurin')
September 14 2009, 02:38PM
@ Moony: I'm with you, I'm taking Penner.
I agree with Wanye. He will be the best signing in Edmonton in the past 3 seasons. Cheapest & most productive.
Star: Penner Goat: Gilbert
Star: O'Sullivan and I think that Comrie is back so he can break the curse. Both Comrie and the Oil have been cursed since he left. Think of it as Bostons Curse of the Bambino.
September 14 2009, 02:43PM
For the record, Comrie will score 33 goals and 38 assists for a total of 71 points. Oh you can book that.
Our boy Hemsky is going to be at 1.17 points per game. He'll probably miss 10 games but that's the number.
September 14 2009, 02:44PM
I pick Patty O' Sullivan to be my star.
September 14 2009, 02:44PM
Im taking Cogliano.
September 14 2009, 02:45PM
Star: Shawn "Deserving First Line Center" Horcoff
You heard it here first. Horcoff has a career year.
Ok...That guy in the video really needs a life.
September 14 2009, 02:45PM
Goat: Pouliot. Off the team by December.
September 14 2009, 02:46PM
@ JeffG:
Did you see the end when the lights dim and all the goal lights went off? That was pretty decent.
September 14 2009, 02:46PM

September 14 2009, 02:47PM
I'm with you on Comrie being a positive suprise for the Oil this season.
September 14 2009, 02:47PM
After hearing it was official I really wanted to pick Comrie as my star too... But I just have to be a little different.
Star: Stortini
Goat: Gilbert - he cut his hair and has lost his boy-band magic. He has gone for NKOTB to B44 with one haircut and that ain't good.
September 14 2009, 02:47PM
September 14 2009, 02:48PM
Star: The guy who used to be able to dance shirtless to Cotton Eyed Joe back in the day
Goat: Alanis Morisette.... or is that a horse?

Well I guess I better not take the easy way out & agree with Wanye. Even though MC will pay dividends in the next couple of years - even if he doesn't play here for more than a year.
My star is going to be Tom Gilbert, because he has a new haircut. It appears trying to shake the *tween* heart throb look & kick Zac Efron in the nuts look in his eyes.
I think he gets traded for another player who will then be my star by default I guess.
September 14 2009, 02:51PM

Like I said, MC is my first pick. I think he is going to shine bright this year and as you know, I've been on record (ever since our boy Wanye pulled that rumour out of his wazoo) as saying it is a very good thing for the Oilers to bring him back. On multiple levels.
September 14 2009, 03:04PM
I'm going with Horcoff...
... With a little more support, he wont be so over used
(of course, i'll deny this the first time he whiffs on a Hemsky setup)
Goat - Staios
Star: Horcoff. He's due for a good year if you look at his good year/bad year roller coaster of a career.
September 14 2009, 03:09PM
My star for this year is Theo Peckham, who will popularize the phrase "Bash 'em like Peckham". He'll be our next Jason Smith.
My goat will be Kevin Lowe, if this team doesn't look good by Christmas.
Caveat: I was going to pick Nilsson, but frankly the only position he'll be fighting for is stick boy by the time the season starts...and my money's on Joey.
September 14 2009, 03:10PM
Funny, I just bet my buddy a Rexall beer that Comrie will get 2 points in the season opener.

Not statistically he won't. He is going to play all kinds of tough minutes, take tough defensive zone draws (because who else will) and likely end up with 50 points or thereabouts and have a minus next to his +/- number. Is he valuable as hell to the team? You bet he is but there are tons of people that will only look at his points total next to his cap hit and will call him the goat.

Do you honestly think I have the financial means for an actual HOUSE with an honest-to-goodness BASEMENT!?
I am shocked at the faith you have in me Travis. Shocked!
Star- Gagner or Cogliano Goat- Probably O'Sullivan because he won't get first line points and everyone will be pissed.
@ rubbertrout: Yes because we could sign Malhotra for 2mil and he'd do the samething as Horcoff except he'd get 15 less points and win more faceoffs.
September 14 2009, 03:16PM

Don't get me wrong, I like Malhotra (and have suggested here that we try to sign him) which would free Horc up to get more offensive time but it's not as though everyone is rushing out to sign Manny. Maybe that's why you and I post on the internet instead of running the team!

New bio solids building cuts off smell
Odorous PW now contained due to project
Local residents are rejoicing in the large reduction of sewer smell off U.S. Highway 50, thanks to a big project by the Pueblo West Metropolitan District in building a new — and more efficient — bio solids facility.
The project cost about $5 million and was completed this summer.
The new process used for wastewater treatment at the bio solids facility gives better process control, lower operational costs and much less odor.
Additionally, there is now a beneficial use for the bio solids, taken by Parker Ag in Limon and used as crop fertilizer.
"We need to put clear, clean water back in the river, and how to do that is by taking the solids out, stabilizing and treating before returning water to the waterway," said Jim Quam, wastewater treatment manager for Pueblo West.
Wastewater comes from both residential and commercial/industrial uses.
Quam said that although people tend to think of wastewater as being the byproduct of toilets, it also comes residentially from bathtubs, laundry, dishwashers and kitchen sinks, and in many forms from businesses.
Construction of the new bio solids facility means many good things for Pueblo West.
Residents often complained about the odors in the area along Highway 50 between Pueblo West and Pueblo (where the facility is located), because with the previous treatment process, lagoons were used, which often released a lot of bad odor.
Now, there are three huge digester tanks (260,000 gallons each) for housing the wastewater as it is treated and processed.
In addition, the solids removed from the wastewater are taken off the premises and used for fertilization purposes, which also helps in odor reduction.
As part of the $5 million project, any remaining solids were removed from the lagoons, and they are now being filled with clean dirt.
Inside the treatment facility, there is a lot of work that goes unseen to remove the solids and begin purifying the water for reuse.
An aerobic digestion process is used with natural bugs to treat the water and solids.
"This is what you learned about in biology in school," Quam said.
"Nature gives us these bugs, and if you give them oxygen and the right amount of organics (food), the bugs will do their job in treating."
Wastewater is sent through a belt filter press, which separates the solids from the water.
Solids are then transferred into a semi-truck, which is removed once a week by Parker Ag.
The water continues on through the treatment plant and is eventually put back into the river.
"This project is a combination of a better treatment process for the bio solids so that we have a better product leaving, and is also a significant cost savings on operation and maintenance on an annual basis," said Scott Eilert, director of utilities for Pueblo West.
"And last but certainly not least, there is much more odor control with this new process."
Eilert said the operation and maintenance costs will be cut in half with the new process.
All those savings will partially help to pay back the State Revolving Fund loan from the state government, which funded the project.
The loan debt is also being paid through a $5 per month charge per account for 20 years, or the remainder of the loan.
This particular SRF loan comes from the Water Pollution Control revolving fund, through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
"This particular loan is based on water quality issues, and these loans are not for expansions of facilities due to growth," Eilert said.
"Our bio solids project had nothing to do with capacity or growth, but is an in-plant process that needed to be updated."

Sjors passed away Nov. 20, 2013 peacefully in his home at Orangeville, Utah at the age of 69 (just in time to be with his Mom for her birthday). He was born July 29, 1944 in Haarlem, Holland. He immigrated to America when he was 3 years old with his parents Leo and Tina Van Zyverden and sisters, Helena and Sytske. Later two more sisters, Nora and Katie, joined the family. He grew up in the East Millcreek area and graduated from Olympus High School. He then joined the Air Force and served honorably for two years after which he served for 16 more years in the Army National Guard. He fulfilled an LDS mission to the Central States mission. He worked in the Deer Creek Mine. He was also a volunteer firefighter and an EMT. He then worked for Pride Trucking and became an independent long hauler. He had a heart of gold, he loved animals, he was a great artist, and was a strong hard worker. He always gave the BEST hugs. He was a wonderful, protective brother and if you needed anything he would be there.
In 1969, he married Ranetta Howard and had five children, Corstiaan, Zanetta Sanchez, Servaas, Sjors, and Onnajohn. In 1982 he married Deanna Grange and had one son, J.L. Van Zyverden. In 2003 he married Shirley Luker, who had three children, Becki Jorgensen, Ben Partis, and Kyle Partis and had 19 grandchildren. He lived a good and productive life.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Utah Mine Commission has been working on recommendations for Gov. Jon Huntsman and the Utah Legislature. One of the recommendations deals with Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon. This recommendation recognizes the contribution of Sheriff Guymon and the Emery County Sheriff's Office.
The recommendation reads, "The state should request the assistance of Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon in the development of a state emergency response plan and the coordination of a mine accident emergency response simulation exercise.
"During commission hearings, Sheriff Guymon was universally praised for his professional and effective leadership in supervising the public safety response to the Crandall Canyon incident. He also played a key role in the response to the Wilberg Mine disaster in 1984. Based on his experience and superior performance, the state should draw on Sheriff Guymon's experience and knowledge."
In the aftermath of the Crandall Canyon mine disaster, Richard Stickler, Assistant Secretary for the Mine, Safety and Health Administration wrote a letter of thanks and appreciation to Sheriff Guymon and the sheriff's office. Stickler said, "On behalf of the Mine Safety and Health Administration, I would like to express our deepest appreciation for the outstanding support your office provided during the Crandall Canyon rescue operation last August. From the very beginning of those difficult weeks, you and your staff went above and beyond the call of duty to assist in MSHA's rescue efforts. The support was invaluable and was appreciated by everyone. Thank you for your outstanding service and please convey our gratitude to everyone in you department," said Stickler.
Guymon said, "I am very fortunate to have the good men that I have that make me look so good. This is an example of what good team work can accomplish. Every situation is different, you can practice, practice, practice but nothing ever happens the same way twice. We learned a lot of things from Crandall Canyon, we were fortunate to have all of the equipment that Homeland Security grants enabled us to purchase.This equipment was priceless as we dealt with this disaster."

The first days of the new year are a good moment to look back at the past year and see what have been the most read articles of the site, this is also a good opportunity for you to read (or re-read) them. And, a bit late, but i wish you all a Happy New Year.
10 – How to run commands in the background
Suppose you have a long-running task (for example, compiling a large program) that you need to run, but you also want to get some other work done. Linux lets you start a task in the background and keep on doing other things from the command prompt.

runs VERY short
