Whether it's for new construction, lift station rehabilitation or malfunction, a broken gravity line, force main rupture, tie-ins, or any combination thereof, most bypasses are accomplished using centrifugal and submersible pumps.
Centrifugal pumps move liquid via rotating impellers that increase the pressure of the fluid. They can be used in parallel to achieve greater flows and in series to achieve higher head pressure; suction piping and hoses are accessible through most openings. Their main disadvantage is suction lift limitation.
When sizing centrifugals, make sure to know the following:
1) Desired capacity (peak flow rate) in gallons per minute (gpm), which is predetermined or measured in the field.
2) Static suction lift is the vertical distance in feet from the eye of the impeller to the fluid level; and two types of net positive suction head — available and required — are involved.
The net positive suction head available (NPSHA): At sea level, 14.7 psi is the atmospheric pressure that can lift water approximately 34 feet. As this pressure pushes down on the fluid, the vacuum within the pump's suction conduit pushes the fluid up and into the eye of the pump's impeller. The centrifugal force creates pressure and slings the discharge out of the pump.
The process is analogous to drinking water through a straw. The atmospheric pressure on the fluid in the glass combined with the negative pressure created in the straw causes the fluid to rise. If you stood on a four-story building and had a straw long enough to reach a glass on the ground, the water would rise no further than 34 feet. For pumps, practical suction lifts should not exceed 22 feet at sea level.
Atmospheric pressure decreases as elevation increases, losing approximately 1 foot of net positive suction head for every 1,000 feet of elevation. For example, in Denver, where the elevation is 5,281 feet, the NPSHA would be approximately 29 feet. Therefore, it's not possible to lift fluids as high as at sea level.
If the suction lift is excessive, the liquid will vaporize, resulting in cavitation. In this situation, pockets of vapor in the flowing stream create a noise that sounds like pumping rocks. Because it's damaging, cavitation is detrimental to performance.
To perform properly, pumps have a net positive suction head requirement (NPSHR) as a function of their design. That is, the pump requires part of the 14.7 psi available. The work that can be done, therefore, on the suction side of the pump is limited.
When selecting a centrifugal pump, the first consideration should be its NPSHR. The single most common mistake when selecting a self-priming centrifugal pump is neglecting its NPSHR.
3) The static discharge head is the vertical distance in feet from the eye of the impeller to the discharge point. The vertical distance is head, in feet, that must be overcome by the pump and is added to the total head.
4) Friction loss depends on the size, type, and length of piping and fittings. Friction/velocity tables are used to factor friction loss into the total dynamic head (TDH). These useful tables show the different size conduits (pipe or hose) by diameter, indicating the head loss (resistance) in feet when various flow rates in gpm are passed through the conduits. These tables also show the velocity of the effluent as it passes through the conduit in feet per second (fps). When sizing conduit for a bypass, as a rule of thumb the velocity should not exceed 10 fps. Velocities over 10 fps will result in excessive horsepower loss.
5) Pressure at the discharge point, if any, is factored into the dynamic head calculations so the pump can overcome existing pressure. The existing pressure is converted into feet by multiplying the psi by 2.31 and adding the result to the total head.
Vacuum-assisted non-clog centrifugal pumps are the most commonly used pumps for bypasses because they can handle large amounts of liquids and solids and have air-handling capability. Diesel-powered units flex-coupled to the pump can be disconnected and replaced with a horizontal motor and paired with a variable frequency drive (VFD) control for long-term bypasses at an existing pump station. These pumps are available with an enclosure for sound attenuation.
Submersibles are centrifugal pumps with a motor directly attached in a common housing. Their size and weight prohibits use through most access openings, they must be pulled out to clean out debris lodged in the impeller, and they require a generator if there's no electrical power source nearby.
On the plus side, submersibles offer instant priming. They have no suction lift limitations, but there are minimum submergence requirements. Though the information may not be published on the pump curves, submersibles require a specific amount of submergence over the volute to operate properly and for motor cooling characteristics. Therefore, submersible pumps also need NPSHA, but it's not as critical as for aboveground centrifugals.
When considering a submersible pump, know the following:
The dynamic discharge head is calculated in the same manner as shown in the sidebar on page 119 for centrifugals, but for static discharge head only.
Submersible pumps have their place in bypass work. Usually they're electrically driven, but some are hydraulically driven with a power pack that can be either diesel- or motor-driven.
Peak flows can easily exceed the capacity of any single pump, requiring pumping in parallel: the installation of two or more pumps with common or separate suction lines connected to a single conduit of fluid. The flow is multiplied by the number of pumps combined in parallel.
Discharge heads of more than 90 feet require pumping in series: arranging two or more pumps so each pump's discharge is connected to the next pump's suction. The result is the production of the additive head pressure generated by each pump.
This setup isn't advised for sewage bypass applications because it's impossible to discharge to the designated point if one of the pumps should fail. Submersibles aren't commonly used in this manner.
The bypass plan should include the following:
— Jose Somera is location manager for Griffin Dewatering Farwest.
Putting theory into action
To illustrate the selection of a centrifugal pump for a specific application, suppose a ruptured sewer line has an estimated flow rate of 1,200 gpm. Pumping will be from a 20-foot-deep manhole upstream of the rupture. The effluent can rise only 5 feet from the bottom of the manhole before it starts to backup into residences. The effluent will be discharged 800 linear feet to a manhole on a trunk line one street over, and there's an elevation rise of 10 feet between the two manholes.
Parameters: 8-inch standard steel pipe
Friction loss = 4.17 per 100 feet
Flow rate = 1,200 gpm
Velocity = 7.66 fps
The dynamic discharge head would be calculated as follows:
1) Static suction lift (20-foot depth minus 5 feet of retention) = 15 feet
2) Static discharge head = 10 feet
3) Adding the two totals:
Many pumps would work here, but don't look just at flow versus head curve. Factor in net positive suction head requirement (NPSHR) to narrow the search. A well-designed pump has not only good head and flow characteristics, but minimal NPSHR as well.

Creating an effective vegetation management program for rights of way (ROW), requires a method capable of controlling undesirable species without substantially harming desirable vegetation. Backpack herbicide applications often are used to meet vegetation control objectives in key ROW areas because they have the ability to be selective and enable applicators to determine which species to treat. Such applications can be conducted in areas with low to medium density, but should not be done in high-density sites or where brush is more than 20 feet tall. For high-density sites, it's generally more effective to use higher broadcast application equipment, such as a truck sprayer—or an aerial application by helicopter, when sites are completely inaccessible.
Applicators working to achieve control in high-density sites may also want to consider mechanically mowing the site, then spraying the regrowth the following year using a low-volume herbicide. Following with herbicides is crucial because undesirable vegetation will grow back even thicker than before if a high-density area is mowed without taking additional measures. Low-volume backpack, foliar applications are effective on most terrain and highly selective to target brush, while preserving the richness of vegetative species. This method efficiently treats individual tree foliage or brush with low to medium density, in heights up to 20 feet.
Low-volume herbicides allow many more acres to be treated while using the same net volume of herbicide. This means fewer tank refills for backpack sprayers and trucks, giving applicators more time in the field to cover more acres in a day than would be possible with high-volume herbicides. The mix for a typical low-volume herbicide application might include 0.5% low-volume herbicide, with 5% glyphosate and 0.5% nonionic surfactant mixed on a volume per volume basis. Typically, 3-and 4-gallon backpacks are used for such applications.
The closed-handling system, a relatively recent development in backpack spraying technology, makes tank mixing even more convenient. Closed-handling systems allow applicators to mix multiple backpack loads in 15-gallon kegs on trucks, rather than mixing each backpack separately. The truck's pumping system can feed premixed herbicide directly into individual backpacks, increasing ROW efficiency, reducing work stoppages for herbicide measurements, and limiting the amount of contact applicators have with herbicides.
Advanced backpack application technology includes new spray nozzles and wands. Today's sprayers have pressure-sensitive triggers and an innovative swivel valve featuring two interchangeable tips on the hand gun. This design provides optimal spray coverage for low-lying growth as well as growth up to 20 feet. Applicators can use a straight-stream of fanned-out spray pattern, depending on vegetation height. Popular swivel-valve options include:
When spraying by backpack, applicators need to be mindful of blow-through on ROWs, particularly near a ROWedge. Some herbicides used on ROWs have soil activity, which can lead to unintentional damage of desirable vegetation. To avoid blow-through on the edge of ROWs, a fan-spray pattern should be used in place of the straight-stream pattern, and spray handguns should be kept parallel to the ROW.

|As Joe mentioned in his last post, virtual application patterns are all the rage in IBM Workload Deployer. The high degree of abstraction provided by these patterns means users can remove tedious, time consuming tasks like middleware installation, configuration, and integration from their field of view. As a consequence, users can build and deploy application environments in unprecedented time, thus freeing up more time to focus on the actual application.
|This is obviously important because building and deploying application environments are crucial, traditionally time consuming activities. However, what happens after you build and deploy the application? You manage it, that's what! Joe brought up the fact that IBM Workload Deployer makes this easier too by delivering an integrated management portal through which you can manage and monitor your application environments. Now, this probably already sounds valuable, but what really puts it over the top is the management portal exposes an interface that is workload aware. But, what does that mean?
|To get an idea of what that means, consider the case that you use the shipped virtual application pattern to build a simple application environment with a web application and database. You deploy it with IBM Workload Deployer, and your application is up and ready. Now you want to start checking things out. You start by opening the management portal directly from the appliance, and you see both the application and database components listed in the view:
|After you looked at basic machine statistics such as network activity and memory usage, you could move on to a more workload-centric view. For instance, you could examine statistics particular to a web application such as request counts and service response times:
|You may also decide that you want to alter certain aspects of your deployed environment. As an example, you could update your deployed application or change certain configuration data in the deployed environment:
|It is important to note that you have a management interface for each of the components in your environment. That means that from the same management interface, you can manage and monitor the database you deployed as part of your environment. For example, at different intervals, you may want to backup your database. You can do this directly from the management portal provided by IBM Workload Deployer:
|Lest you think that you can only manage and monitor, this unique management interface is also a one stop shop for all of your troubleshooting needs. From the centralized portal, you can view log and trace data for each component:
|Virtual application patterns are an attempt to encapsulate each phase of your application's lifecycle, from creation to deployment to management. In this regard, I hope the above provides a taste of some of the management capabilities provided by virtual application patterns. It truly is the tip of the iceberg!

Miami International Airport passengers and South Florida rental car customers now have a convenient, one-stop shop for all their rental car needs just east of MIA in the middle of Miami-Dade County. The MIA Rental Car Center (RCC), which opened on July 13, 2010 at 3900 N.W. 25th Street, consolidates under one roof the operations of 16 rental car companies currently serving the area surrounding MIA.
A new MIA Mover transports travelers from MIA's 3rd level train station located between the Flamingo and Dolphin garages to the RCC's spacious fourth-level customer service lobby, where they can pick the company and vehicle of their choice from a combined inventory of 6,500 rental cars.
The RCC, which serves approximately 17,000 customers daily, has the capability to wash and re-fuel 300 vehicles per hour because of its multi-level fueling system - the first of its kind in the U.S. – and state-of-the-art Quick Turnaround Area, which includes 120 gas pump positions and 42 car wash bays on three vehicle storage levels.
In addition to improving the rental car experience for MIA passengers, the RCC reduces traffic congestion and air pollution at MIA as well. The new shuttle bus service cuts the combined rental car bus fleet from 120 buses to 60, decreasing total traffic at the airport's arrivals level by 15 percent.
|The shuttle bus service was replaced entirely on September 9, 2011 with the MIA Mover, an elevated, 1.25-mile automated people mover system that can transport 3,000 passengers per hour between MIA and the RCC and will reduce gas emissions at the airport by 30 percent. Returning your rental car at MIA (City Video Guide)
Celebrating the ribbon cutting for the MIA Rental Car Center on July 12 were: Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez; Miami-Dade County Commissioners Jose "Pepe" Diaz, Dorrin D. Rolle and Rebeca Sosa; FDOT Secretary Stephanie Kopelousos; FDOT District 6 Secretary Gus Pego, Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce Chairwoman Maria C. Alonso; Beacon Council Chairwoman Alexandra Villoch; Greater Miami Convention and Visitor Bureau Chairman Steve Haas; Turner Construction Vice President Jay Fraser; Miami-Dade County Manager George M. Burgess; and Miami-Dade Aviation Director José Abreu.
Watch On Demand Video (Miami-Dade County)
"We are extremely indebted to the Florida Department of Transportation for building this facility that benefits not only MIA and its passengers, but all of Miami-Dade County," said Miami-Dade Aviation Department Director José Abreu. "The Rental Car Center is another huge step toward making MIA a world-class entrance to South Florida for visitors from around the world."

There is some Question as to what "concealed" means.If it is a holstered weapon then it is considered concealed, because all of it cannot be seen.That is why some states have changed and no longer issue a concealed or an open carry permit.It is only a carry permit. To be carried which ever way you prefer.If a hand gun is in a holster or if you are holding it, it is partially concealed. And that in it's self cannot be defined as open carry. Thank you very muchdoak
The permit in Ga allows you to carry open or concealed.Which allows you to have it in the clove compartment loaded. Which the transporting part doesn't allow it loaded in the glove compartment.
I'm pleased to see the number of YES votes in the poll. But the framing of the question only speaks of the writer's ignorance. (I often find journalists astoundingly ignert.) the constitution does not "grant" or "Give" rights - it spells out specific rights that are inherent to ALL human beings; and guarantees that the United States government won't interfere with them. (I think all people are born with rights, but may be raised or conditioned to believing that they aren't rights to be asserted or demanded, but privileges to be ignored or denied by their "rulers"). wayne: no.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger believes Tottenham are a strong team but he thinks it's too early to say whether they have closed the gap on Arsenal.
The Frenchman has a tremendous record against Spurs and has never finished below them in the Premier League. However, Harry Redknapp's side are currently two points clear of Arsenal having played a game less and they go into Sunday's derby as favourites to extend that advantage.
Tottenham qualified for the Champions League for the first time in 2010 but they missed out on a repeat appearance this season. Wenger suggests it's too soon to draw conclusions about the balance of power in north London.
"At the moment we have been in the Champions League for 14 years and that is all we can say," he said.
"Tottenham is a good side, I agree, and we have to try to be better and that is what we try to do. I believe the consistency has been on our side, but Tottenham has a huge potential. They played Shamrock Rovers on Thursday night and were sold out, so that is a massive potential.
"But we are at the end of September and the season finishes in May. Don't come to quick conclusions about teams - there is a long way to go."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

An event showcases Eagle River Preserve
July 8, 2012
EDWARDS, Colorado – On June 30, the Eagle Valley Land Trust hosted a "Family Fun Day" at the Eagle River Preserve, a 72-acre parcel of community open space with more than a mile and a half of publicly accessible Eagle River frontage. Several local kids, along with moms and dads and aunts and uncles, participated in nature hikes and craft projects while learning about the activities and adventures available at the Preserve. The family fun also included an educational land-conservation message, a kids' face painter and refreshments.
The Eagle River Preserve was permanently protected with a conservation easement by the Land Trust in 2005. The preserve serves as publicly accessible open space and a "central park" for the mid-valley region. The land allows residents and guests of Eagle County, especially those in the greater Edwards community, to get outdoors and enjoy hiking trails, natural meadows and Eagle River access on the valley floor. The preserve is within walking distance from the Edwards-area neighborhoods and shopping areas.
Located just to the west of The Gashouse Restaurant and across from the Ambulance District in Edwards, the Eagle River Preserve is bordered on the south by U.S. Highway 6, on the north by the Eagle River and on the west by the Wild Flower Farm. The property borders Edwards Plaza and the Alpine Bank building on its east side. A 72-acre outdoor playground along the river, the preserve offers a venue for nature hiking, biking, fishing, kite flying, wildlife viewing, picnicking, bird watching and an off-leash dog park. Eventually, the countywide ECO Trail system will run through the property.
Eagle Valley Land Trust periodically hosts Family Fun Day activities on local lands it has conserved to highlight conservation in the valley. The next Land Trust "Family Fun Day" will be held in September, and details will be announced soon.
For more information about the local land conservation projects of the Eagle Valley Land Trust, or to learn more about future "Family Fun Day" events, contact Jason Denhart, director of communications and development for the Land Trust, at 970-748-7654 or email@example.com.

A few weeks ago, I was helping a researcher port his code to iceberg. As we were going through the process, I started thinking about all of the little tricks that make the process easier. Moreover I remembered how difficult it could be to build some applications before I was aware of these tricks.
Tip 1: If you are building a 64 bit application, use the OBJECT_MODE environment variable.
The OBJECT_MODE environment variable is understood by a number of AIX applications such as (xlc, xlf, ar, nm, etc). Set the OBJECT_MODE environment variable before running configure:e.g
iceberg2 1% export OBJECT_MODE=64 iceberg2 2% ./configure
Be aware that using 64 bit addressing does not alter the size of REAL or INTEGER values (See tip 3). However, for C programs -q64 does change the size of "long" values and also increases the size of pointers from 32 bits to 64 bits.
Tip 2: Use MP_HOSTFILE environment variable or Loadleveler when running configure scripts for application which require MPI compilers.
When using MPI compilers during the configure process, it's not uncommon for the configure script to attempt to run the executable generated by the compiler to make sure the compiler works. However, MPI applications need to know, at a minimum, which host to run on. Without a hostfile, you might get an error like this:
iceberg2 3% export CC=mpcc_r iceberg2 4% export F77=mpxlf_r iceberg2 5% ./configure --enable-mpi checking for a BSD-compatible install... ./install-sh -c ... ... checking for C compiler default output... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
A simple way to get around this error to create a hostfile and set the environment variable MP_HOSTFILE to point to that file.e.g.
iceberg2 6% cat > host << EOF `hostname` EOF iceberg2 7% cat host b1n1 iceberg2 8% export MP_HOSTFILE=`pwd`/host
With the variable MP_HOSTFILE set, the executable created by the configure script will now run.Alternatively, if the compile process takes a long time or large numbers of processors, the configure script can be run through loadleveler. e.g.
iceberg2 9% cat build.ll #!/bin/bash # @ error = $(executable).$(jobid).err # @ output = $(executable).$(jobid).out # @ notification = never # @ job_type = parallel # @ node = 2 # @ tasks_per_node = 8 # @ network.MPI = sn_all,shared,us # @ node_usage = not_shared # @ class = standard # @ wall_clock_limit=3600 # @ queue export CC=mpcc_r export F77=mpxlf_r ./configure --enable-mpi exit gmake
Tip 3: The -q64 flag and OBJECT_MODE environment variable have no effect on the size of REAL or INTEGER values in Fortran programs.
The -qrealsize and -qintsize compiler options can be used to promote REAL and INTEGER values to 64 bits. Keep in mind that these flags will not affect the precision of explicitly typed variables (e.g. a REAL*4 will not be promoted to REAL*8 by using the -qrealsize=8 flag).e.g.
iceberg2 10% xlf90 -qrealsize=8 check_sys.f90 -o check_sys iceberg2 11% more check_sys.f90 program check_sys IMPLICIT NONE REAL d REAL*4 e REAL*8 f REAL*16 g print *,"Floating Point Size:" print *, " sizeof(REAL) = ", SIZEOF(d) print *, " sizeof(REAL*4) = ", SIZEOF(e) print *, " sizeof(REAL*8) = ", SIZEOF(f) print *, " sizeof(REAL*16) = ", SIZEOF(g) end program iceberg2 12% ./check_sys Floating Point Size: sizeof(REAL) = 8 sizeof(REAL*4) = 4 sizeof(REAL*8) = 8 sizeof(REAL*16) = 16
Tip 4: Use the -WF,-Ddefn Fortran Option to set C preprocessor definitions on the command line.
Many Fortran codes use preprocessor directives for conditional compilation of code. If a preprocessor macro is defined on the command line it must be preceded by "-WF"
e.g. iceberg2 13% xlf90 -WF,-DMYMACRO=2.5 preproc.F90 -o preproc
This replaces MYMACRO throughout preproc.F90 with 2.5.
Tip 5: Be aware that using the IBM MPI compilers for linking of non-MPI applications adds parallel operating environment (poe) runtime requirements for the executables created.
It may seem easier to use the MPI compilers to build an executable in some cases, however be aware that executables created with the IBM MPI compilers will require a hostfile to run even if the application is serial.
e.g. iceberg2 14% mpxlf90 preproc.o -o preproc iceberg2 15% ./preproc ERROR: 0031-808 Hostfile or pool must be used to request nodes Codes linked with the non-MPI compilers do not have this requirement. iceberg2 16% xlf90 preproc.o -o preproc iceberg2 16% ./preproc Hello World

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I'd like to pipe "ls -l" into "cut" to extract certain fields, [[ like group, size, and name, and I'd like to use spaces as delimiters, [[ because it's easer to count the fields. So with this "ls -l" output: [[ [[ -rw------- 1 robert jstme 3183 2007-01-23 14:57 file1 [[ -rw------- 1 robert them 973 2006-09-15 08:19 file3 [[ -rw------- 5 bert justm 15096 2006-11-16 13:04 file2 [[ [[ I tried: [[ ls -l cut -f4,5,8 -d' ' [[ [[ but it gave me this garbage: [[ robert jstme 2007-01-23 [[ robert [[ 15096 [[ [[ Am I doing something wrong? # # Holy Toledo, 11 Answers! Who needs "cut" when you've got awk, # perl, uals, stat, tr, and read. # # Thanks to all who replied, and forgive me for trimming answers: # # # Sean Ziegeler [ awk ] # Unfortunately, cut treats multiple spaces as multiple delimiters and therefore counts different numbers of columns. I am not sure how force cut to interpret several spaces as a single separator. I prefer to use awk to extract a column of information. It automatically groups all whitespace as a single separator (unless told to do otherwise). The appropriate command for you in awk would be: ls -l awk '{print $4,$5,$8}' Awk has innumerable other capabilities and I would highly recommending googling for tutorials (there are several) or getting a book. You may be surprised at how many other useful things it can do for you. # # Bill Homer [ perl or tr ] # % ls -l tr -s ' ' cut -f4,5,8 -d' ' jstme 3183 file1 them 973 file3 justm 15096 file2 Or, to line up the columns, use perl to split the lines and print the desired fields (counting from 0 instead of 1) using a format: % ls -l \ perl -nle '@x=split; printf "%20s%10s %s\n",$x[3],$x[4],$x[7];' jstme 3183 file1 them 973 file3 justm 15096 file2 # # Ryan Czerwiec [ awk ] # [ ...trim... ] Some systems have an improved version 'nawk,' and some gnu-based systems call it 'gawk.' In any case, there should be some type of 'awk' in /bin/. Then, just use: ls -l nawk '{print $2,$5,$7}' for example to print the 2nd, 5th, and 7th fields. If a field you specified doesn't exist, you don't get an error; it just leaves that part blank. # # Kurt Carlson [ uals ] # First off, you are playing with fire expecting 'ls -l' fields to be consistent. Above looks like it came from Linux, 'ls -l' which allows date formatting, from most UNIX implementations this would look like (or worse from older implementations): -rw-r----- 1 kcarlson mygrp 15189 Jan 23 13:54 Makefile.in -rw-r--r-- 1 kcarlson mygrp 1438 May 14 2006 abend.c Note that has two different date formats, files older than 6 months and files newer. What a pain for parsing, especially if you want to parse off file date. This exact problem resulted in 'uals', a University of Alaska gpl extension of ls over a decade ago. You want group, size, and filename above: # uals --fields gsf mygrp 15189 Makefile.in mygrp 1438 abend.c There are many extensions in uals and it is installed on all ARSC systems under /usr/local/adm/bin/uals. For details, see man -M /usr/local/adm/man uals http://people.arsc.edu/~kcarlson/software/man/uals.html ftp://ftp.alaska.edu/pub/sois/ You can format the date, get both access and modify date at the same time, request size in human readable form (k or K), run recursively and get full path to file, filter for files (name, newer, older, ...), ... [ ...trim... ] # # Brad Havel [ awk ] # It sounds like "awk" might be more useful for the parsing than cut. [=> ls -l awk -e '{ printf "%s %s %s\n",$4,$5,$8 }' mygrp 553 16:29 mygrp 512 11:08 mygrp 386150912 11:01 mygrp 7680 15:35 mygrp 56 12:13 mygrp 307 08:21 mygrp 512 20:42 mygrp 3496 12:20 mygrp 512 13:25 Also, with awk and the printf formatting you can get fancier on the output, such as "0" padded numerics, the number of significant digits on floats, and justified strings. # # Erick Winston [ awk ] # Try: ls -l awk '{print $4"\t"$5"\t"$8}' # # Jim Williams [ tr ] # Because ls -l output is formatted for readability, the columns are separated by a variable number of spaces. The cut command isn't smart enough to view multiple contiguous occurrence of the delimiter as a single occurrence. The 'tr -s' command can be used to squeeze the white space into a single character. This should be done before piping into cut: $ ls -l total 4 -rw------- 1 usernm mygrp 20 2007-01-29 09:55 file1 -rw------- 1 usernm mygrp 0 2007-01-29 09:29 file2 -rw------- 1 usernm mygrp 0 2007-01-29 09:29 file3 $ ls -l tr -s ' ' cut -f4,5,8 -d' ' mygrp 20 file1 mygrp 0 file2 mygrp 0 file3 $ # # Derek Bastille [ stat ] # [ ...snip... ] not all unices format the dates like your example. In OS X, there are no spaces between the date parts, so field 8 is not the file name. So, really, using spaces can lead to lots of problems. Thus, it may be safer to use the stat command to show the details about the file. For example: The information via ls: $ /scratch >ls -l total 833296 -rw-r----- 1 usernm mygrp 426385408 Jan 7 21:38 ADZE_Jobs_Data.fp7 drwxr-xr-x 2 usernm mygrp 68 Jun 23 2006 CCAC Documents -rw-r--r-- 1 usernm mygrp 35066 Dec 5 09:24 Nov-EF.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 usernm mygrp 4108 Oct 9 13:31 Untitled.tab -rw-r--r-- 1 usernm mygrp 55808 Jan 7 19:19 Untitled.xls -rw-r--r-- 1 usernm mygrp 155648 Jan 12 17:59 passinv20061103.fp7 -rw-r--r-- 1 usernm mygrp 3259 Dec 12 16:13 show_usage.php using stat with a format specifier to get group, size and name: $ /scratch >stat -f "%Sg %Uz %SN" * mygrp 426385408 ADZE_Jobs_Data.fp7 mygrp 68 CCAC Documents mygrp 35066 Nov-EF.pdf mygrp 4108 Untitled.tab mygrp 55808 Untitled.xls mygrp 155648 passinv20061103.fp7 mygrp 3259 show_usage.php Lots of other options are available with stat including things that you cannot get with the ls command. # # Rich Griswold [ perl ] # cut is treating strings of spaces as a multiple delimiters instead of a single delimiter. Instead of using cut, you can use awk: ls -l awk '{print $4,$5,$9 }' This doesn't handle filenames with space,s though, which are common in the Windows and Mac worlds. You could use this (replacing ... with as many columns as you need): ls -l awk '{print $4,$5,$9,$10,$11,$12,... }' but this doesn't correctly handle filenames that have two or more spaces in a row. The following appears to work in bash and zsh: ls -l while read perm links owner group size t1 t2 t3 name; do echo $group $size $name done However, in bash it doesn't correctly handle filenames that have two or spaces in a row. The following seems to work in all cases: ls -l perl -e \ 'foreach(<>){chomp;@f=split/ +/,$_,9;print"$f[3] $f[4] $f[8]\n"}' # # Alec Bennett [ perl ] # ls -l perl -pi -e 's/\s+/ /g;s/$/\n/' cut -f4,5,9 -d" " # # Don Bahls [ read ] # I believe cut tokenizes on each space. You can handle this with "tr", but generally in cases like this, I use the "read" command in bash (or ksh). Which splits strings nicely regardless of how much whitespace is present. nelchina% cat ls_info -rw------- 1 robert jstme 3183 2007-01-23 14:57 file1 -rw------- 1 robert them 973 2006-09-15 08:19 file3 -rw------- 5 bert justm 15096 2006-11-16 13:04 file2 nelchina% cat ls_info while read f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7 f8; do echo $f4 $f5 $f8; done jstme 3183 file1 them 973 file3 justm 15096 file2 Here each string is set to a variable. $f1 is the first string, $f2 is the second string, etc. The read command is probably overkill for this simple example, but depending on what you want to do with these fields could be a useful alternative to cut. ### ### BONUS ANWER to "safe rm *" question. From Orion Lawlor: ### As a former Mac user I like using a little 'rm' script like this: #!/bin/sh # Safe remove: move files to ~/trashcan directory. target="$HOME/trashcan/"`date '+%Y_%m_%d__%k_%M_%S'` mkdir -p "$target" mv -i "$@" "$target" This allows me to undo removals by just finding the appropriate directory under ~/trashcan, and moving the files back out. You can even write a cron job to clean out the trashcan once a week. As a bonus, moving a big directory (within the same filesystem) is faster than deleting it! Q: I've just extracted a tar file into my home directory. It turns out the contents of the tar file were not contained within a single directory, so now I have a bunch of random files and subdirectories scattered all over my home directory amidst other, unrelated files. How can I sort the recently-untarred files from the rest and move them into a new subdirectory? Sorting by modification date doesn't work since the tar file preserved timestamps.

The University of St. Thomas Alumni Association raised more than $20,000 for continuing student scholarships at the inaugural "Two Saints and a Taco Tasting," held April 19 at Saint Arnold Brewery.
About 300 alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends attended the event, which featured tacos from some of Houston's most popular restaurants and the full line up from Texas' oldest craft brewery.
The winner of the taco tasting was selected by popular vote – St. Arnold beer caps in glass jars for each restaurant – and Escalante's Fine Tex-Mex was the champion, with their hit "Mexico City" tacos. Escalante's earned bragging rights and a "Chihuahua Bling" Trophy, handmade by Kelli Kickerillo '03, president of the Alumni Association Board of Directors.
Guests also sampled tacos from Baker St. Pub & Grill, Berryhill Baja Grill, Bocados, El Tiempo Cantina, Hearsay Gastro Lounge, Roots Bistro, Taquerias Arandas and TQLA.
The event featured 20 silent auction items focused on tacos, saints or beer with packages such as: "Tacos in the Sky" with a one-night stay and dinner at Hyatt Hotel; "No more Beer Belly" with a fitness package, and "St. Patrick's Package," including a home brew kit.
Live music was provided by the UST Jazz Ensemble and the band, The Beans, a fitting musical group for a taco tasting.
The scholarships will benefit the UST Alumni Association Annual Scholarship Fund, with scholarships to be awarded to at least three continuing students.
Drew Wilson, vice president of the Alumni Association, said one of the most appealing things about the scholarship fund is that it is for students who are currently enrolled at UST.
"Once a student is committed to the tenets of building faith and character, the Alumni Board sees to it that they can continue their journey and complete it with graduation," Wilson said.
Kickerillo said the UST Alumni Board hosts a fundraiser each spring and credits Wilson with the new idea for the Taco Tasting.
"The idea took flight and the Alumni Board hopes to make this an annual event that grows every year," Kickerillo said.
Other notable guests included Mary and Vincent Kickerillo; Michele Malloy, chair of the UST Board of Directors; Elizabeth and Zack Fertitta; Nick Espinosa '99; Anna Hawley '96 and Chris Hawley, and Jennifer Mengis, MLA '11, and Mike Mengis '82.

The U.S. Department of Defense Awards $2.3 Million in Funding for Lupus Research
The Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) Congratulates Trine Jorgensen, Ph.D., Cleveland Clinic Foundation and I-Cheng Ho, M.D., Ph.D., Brigham and Women's Hospital
Activists Heard! Senate Committee Boosts Lupus Research Funding
On July 11, 2013, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved a draft of the fiscal year (FY) 2014 Labor-Health and Human Services-Education appropriations bill. The Lupus Foundation of America applauds the efforts of the Senate Appropriations Committee to ensure that funding for research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and lupus programs are a priority.
As part of the Lupus Foundation of America's National Lupus Advocacy Summit on June 25, more than 250 lupus activists went to Capitol Hill and asked their Members of Congress to support lupus research funding and NIH funding. In addition, lupus activists delivered the National Lupus Research Petition with more than 30,000 signatures asking Congress to support lupus research funding. Lupus activists also came out in force online generating more than 3,500 emails to Congress.
The Lupus Foundation of America is leading the fight to secure more funding for lupus research, from Capitol Hill to State Houses across the nation. But we must keep up efforts to educate Congress on the urgent need to provide more resources for lupus research. We urge everyone affected by lupus to join us in urging Congress give more priority to lupus and help solve the cruel mystery of this unpredictable and devastating disease.
The FY 14 Labor-Health and Human Services-Education appropriations bill has a long and difficult journey ahead with the funding recommendations by Senate appropriators being nearly 35 percent more than the House appropriators have allocated for their Labor-HHS bill. However, the Senate draft measure shows great support for lupus research funding and programs.
The Senate Appropriations Committee's support of NIH and lupus demonstrates their voices were heard. The draft measure would fund the NIH at $31 billion, an increase of $307 million from the FY 13 funding level. The Committee also recommended $2 million to continue the national health education program on lupus for healthcare providers, with the goal of improving diagnosis for those with lupus and reducing health disparities. In addition, $4.43 million was allocated to the National Lupus Patient Registry at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) calling for additional cohort and burden of illness studies and programs aimed at filling the gaps identified in the Registry project.
The Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) Congratulates Trine Jorgensen, Ph.D., Cleveland Clinic Foundation and I-Cheng Ho, M.D., Ph.D., Brigham and Women's Hospital
Advocates from across the country will band together for lupus and urge Members of Congress to support increased federal funding for lupus research, awareness, and education.

On November 14, one day after a two-year-old filly in King Leatherbury's barn tested positive for EHV-1, the Maryland Jockey Club announced that until further notice no horses would be allowed to ship into Laurel Park except those from the Bowie Training Center. However with today's news that all of the nearly 60 horses tested at Laurel Park are negative for the virus, the Laurel racing office will begin taking entries from other jurisdictions.
"Our restrictions last Friday were a precautionary measure," said Tom Chuckas, president and chief operating officer of the Maryland Jockey Club. "Since then the other 25 horses in Barn 1 plus all 31 lead ponies have tested negative so this was the next logical step in light of the test results."
The Maryland Jockey Club racing office attracted 84 Laurel and Bowie runners for tomorrow's nine-race program and another 94 for Thursday's nine-race card. Nearly 1,600 horses are stabled at those two sites with the Pimlico Race Course stable area closed for the winter. Horses based at Laurel and Bowie are still restricted to the grounds.
"We expect to get some runners from area farms who want to compete but I am not sure how many we'll get from Fair Hill (Training Center) or out-of-state since there are still restrictions," said Maryland Jockey Club racing secretary Georganne Hale. "Entries were strong for the Wednesday and Thursday cards but you can't expect that to happen for a three-week period. It is nice that horses will be able to ship in because we would eventually run out of horses. You can't expect the Laurel and Bowie horses to run once a week."
The Maryland racing community faced an outbreak of the virus in early 2006 when three horses at Pimlico and another at Laurel were euthanized, forcing three live racing cards at Laurel Park to be cancelled due to lack of horses as racetracks in neighboring states barred horses from running in Maryland.
Equine herpesvirus causes upper respiratory infection and can lead to severe neurological disease. There is currently no known method to reliably prevent the neurologic form of EHV-1 infection. It is recommended to maintain appropriate vaccination procedures in an attempt to reduce the incidence of the respiratory form of EHV-1 infection, which may help prevent the neurologic form. Transmission occurs primarily by direct nose to nose contact or contaminated hands, equipment, feed and water. It can also be spread up to 35 feet by airborn droplets. This virus is not associated with any human health risk.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by mikhail1973, Apr 5, 2008.
I didn't mean the powerplay. I meant overall Wings look like they're struggling a bit.
First team to 4 is going to win this game.
i'M STILL HERE GANG!!! i actually ahd to leave in the 3rd to fix a cable outage... 11:30 in the 6th period! I have no more pee left!!
we are in trouble
I guess Wings will have to clinch on the road as they have been doing this whole playoff season.
I stayed up so that I could tell the guys at work that the Wings won! DOH!
Damn you bill!! Mark-Andre Fluerry may have won the whole series thing for them tonight. 100 minutes of hell and we go back to the Pit The champaign had already been uncorked. People had already text their bosses with hangover excuses of why they would be late for work...if they even made it in NBC was already checking their Neilsen customers for overnight ratings. Bettman is happy !!!!
its 12 freekin 51 in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after this series, i'm taking a 3 month sabbitical from tv sports! ......at least TOOTSIE IS ON TCM!
Sucks that Pitt got 8 minutes of power play in the OT and Wings got 2 on their own ice. Fleury kept Pitt in it. The Wings can still do this!
9:54 PM here and I feel like I have been up all night!!!
tIGERS LOSEin last at bat as well...i'm spenttttttt!
Mickey Redmond doing the local post game. He said the Wings were nervous before the game...? Then went on to say they'll be more relaxed on the road...?
Yeah the Wings did look nervous to start the game with the turnovers etc, but those first 15 minutes of the third qtr was some of the best Wings play of the playoffs. It's only a shame that they could not get that insurance goal and send the fans partying into the night. Did the wings get distracted in the last 50 seconds because they saw some employees of the Joe pushing the Stanley Cup trophy up the tunnel? I hope it is not an omen, but didn't the series vs the Ducks change last year on a late game tying goal with 48 seconds left in the game and then they won in OT to take a 3-2 series lead and eventually beat the deadwings. The Red Wings led that series 2-1 before losing 4-2.
It was a lot of pressure with the fans cheering "We want the Cup!" and all that. I can see how it would make them nervous. I blame this whole loss on Samuelsson. He had a chance to clear it with about 45 seconds left, instead he back handed it to the top of the circle. The Pens grabbed it, and scored less than 10 seconds later. He got demoted top the 4th line earlier in the playoffs, and I can't for the life of me understand why he was playing in the pressure cooker last night.
It's hard to pick one play in a 100+ minute game and say that was the deciding factor. If Filpula didn't take the dumb penalty, then Samuelsson wouldn't even have been in that position.
Hard to pin it all on Samuelsson, but you're right about this team not clearing the puck. They clear the puck, they hold the Cup. Now, Pittsburgh has a chance. Detroit let the Cup slip through its fingers.
Oops. Hudler, not Filpula with the high-stick.
The friendly fire to put them up 2-0 didn't help either.

New edition released of Wayne Law professor's book on public corruption law
Wayne State University Law School Professor Peter Henning's book, The Prosecution and Defense of Public Corruption: The Law and Legal Strategies, has been newly released by LexisNexis.
The book first was published in 2011 by Oxford University Press.
"The book is available both in a hardcover edition and now online through Lexis, which makes it more accessible to practicing lawyers," Henning said. "The book will also now be updated on Lexis with annual supplements to provide information on new decisions."
And new decisions in public corruptions cases frequently make the news headlines.
"The number of corruption prosecutions continues to grow as the Department of Justice puts greater emphasis on combatting bribery at the state and local level," Henning said. "We have also seen much higher sentences imposed in the past few years for corruption convictions, including the 28-year sentence given to former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. The book now tracks sentences in a wide range of corruption cases."
According to the publisher, the book offers "a thorough legal analysis of the disparate areas of the law that can be used to prosecute public officials at all levels of government." Topics addressed include evidence gathering issues, privilege issues, issues at trial and sentencing issues.
Henning was a senior attorney in the Division of Enforcement at the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, where he worked on cases involving insider trading, penny stock fraud, market manipulation and accounting irregularities. He then moved to the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, where he worked in the Fraud Section on the investigation and prosecution of bank fraud. He joined the Wayne Law faculty in 1994.
His scholarship focuses primarily on white collar crime, constitutional criminal procedure and attorney ethics. He has written 10 books and writes a regular column, White Collar Watch, for The New York Times DealBook. Henning is widely sought for his expertise and often quoted by media outlets.

For the third consecutive season, the Canisius College men's and women's swimming and diving teams will welcome their conference opponents to the Erie Community College Burt Flickinger Center in Buffalo, N.Y. for the MAAC Swimming and Diving Championships, Feb. 14-16. Both squads will look to build off of last year's successes at the event in pursuit of their first conference championships.
At last year's championships, the Golden Griffin men and women recorded their highest point totals and best team-finishes in school history. The men secured a second-place finish with 587.50 points, while the women finished fifth with 331.50 points.
For the Golden Griffin men, the 400-yard freestyle relay team of former Griff Steve Pochatko, and current Griffs Shawn Parkhurst, Matt Moessinger, and Nick Sereday led the team to its best finish with a second-place performance to edge out Marist for second overall. The team would also set the school record with a time of 3:05.77.
The Golden Griffin men finished last year with a pair of conference champions with Parkhurst taking the 1000-yard freestyle title and Pochatko winning the 100-yard backstroke crown. Parkhurst captured his third conference title at last year's meet, defending his crown in the 1000 freestyle. The junior protected his title with a first-place finish of 9:12.43, setting the school, pool, and MAAC records, while breaking his own school record by nearly eight seconds.
After dropping four duals to open the 2012-13 season, the Golden Griffin men rattled off seven straight wins to conclude their regular season. During the regular season, the Griffs saw one school record broken by Parkhurst in the 200-yard freestyle (1:43.23). The senior broke his own record on Dec. 4 at the Cleveland Dual, the only time he raced in the event this season.
Since the mid-season break, Parkhurst and Sereday have captured first-place finishes in each race they swam in against Gannon on Jan. 12, Niagara on Jan. 19, and SUNY Fredonia on Jan. 26. The break also marked the return of Moessinger to the lineup, who placed first in the 200-yard butterfly at SUNY Fredonia.
On the women's side, the Golden Griffins' lineup has been strengthened by the development of freshmen Clare Battaglia, Alex Doody, Alicia Wheeler, and Audrey Mulhisen. Battaglia has recorded first-place finishes in 17 of 23 races this season, while going undefeated in all seven individual races on the road against MAAC opponents - Siena, Niagara, and Marist.
With eight combined top-finishes in the 1- and 3-meter events, Mulhisen, set school record in the 3-meter (259.40) at SUNY Fredonia on Jan. 26. In 18 performances on the board, the freshman has finished in the top-three spots in all but one. Mulhisen and sophomore Taylor Epstein are currently seeded in the top-five of each the 1- and 3-meter events.
Last season, the Griffs earned their first coaching accolade in program history. Assistant coach Meili Carpenter was named the 2012 MAAC Men's and Women's Diving Coach of Year, as selected by the conference head coaches. Carpenter continues to transform the diving program with a pair of divers reaching the A-finals in the 1-meter event and three divers competing in the A-final of the men's 3-meter event. Each of the Griffs' six divers have recorded personal bests this season in each of the 1- and 3-meter dives.
Defending their conference crowns will be the Rider men and Marist women. The Rider men captured their first MAAC title since 2004, while the Marist women secured their eighth title in a span of nine championships.
Men's results at MAAC Championship under head coach Scott Vanderzell
2012: 2nd (587.5 points)
2011: 5th (411.5 points)
2010: 7th (268 points)
2009: 8th (208 points)
Women's results at MAAC Championship under head coach Scott Vanderzell
2012: 5th (331.5 points)
2011: 8th (256 points)

The Commonwealth Club hosted a private, off-the-record panel discussion on the U.S. and California economies, prior to the member's-only Bank of America/Walter E. Hoadley Annual Economic Forecast luncheon on Friday, January 21, 2011. Panelists included former U.S. Representative and California State Finance Director Tom Campbell, former Semiconductor Industry Association President George Scalise, Public Policy Institute of California economist Dr. Jed Kolko, and Brian Riley, managing director of Merrill Lynch.
In light of the expected focus by President Obama on jobs and economic growth in tonight's State of the Union address, we thought some of the ideas and observations of the panelists last Friday might be of interest. Because the session was not for attribution, we have not identified the individual sources of the observations below.
• In California, increases in output are still outpacing employment growth. The latest statistics on California unemployment rates show a recent rise: the jobless rate in the state now stands at 12.5 percent.
• The semiconductor industry experienced 30-percent growth in the past year, and technology and electronics remains California's largest export industry. There was 10-percent growth in both the film and tech industries overall. But with the manufacturing companies mainly investing in capacity overseas, the future picture is not so rosy. In the longer term, based on decisions that have already been made and are being made, the growth and the jobs will occur outside of California and much of that outside of the United States.
• The federal budget deficit is extremely worrisome. Currently 38 percent of our budget is borrowed. The national debt has escalated to $45,000 today for each person in the United States. This is about triple what it was in the mid-1990s. Investment by business, particularly by small businesses, is driven by future profit expectations; large federal budget deficits increase uncertainty about the future stability of the economy. The result — businesses invest less and thus hire fewer workers. This, in turn, impedes the economy's recovery.
• The budget deficit must be addressed through Social Security and Medicare means-testing, probably also through cuts in defense spending. Unfunded pension liabilities must also be addressed.
• One thing the federal government could do to encourage businesses to hire employees would be a moratorium on costs to hire new employees, for a year. The cost of a new hire now is $10,585 in addition to salary, with required benefits and other costs imposed by regulation.
• The government must create incentives for companies to build their facilities and base their business in the United States. A five-year tax holiday for companies would have a dramatic impact. The economic activity caused by the resulting job creation would compensate for the lost tax revenue three to four times over.
• There is $1.8 trillion of cash on hand in the private sector. Economic policy needs to take the appropriate steps to increase confidence and certainty, such as reducing the deficit and creating incentives for businesses to expand and do it here in the United States.
• The industries that have been hurt the most will be the sites of most growth in the future – e.g. housing construction.
• Expanding sectors will include professional business services. Health care and nursing will be important, due to the aging population.
• Agriculture is still the largest industry in California, but government policy is getting in the way. The limits of access to water (federal regulations) and labor (immigration) are limiting the growth of this industry.
• The underfunding of higher education in California is a serious threat to our long-term leadership in technology, medicine and the other fields in which the United States and California have been so successful.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Green Bay head men's basketball coach Brian Wardle has been named one of 15 finalists for the 2014 Skip Prosser Man of the Year award, CollegeInsider.com's Angela Lento announced on Monday.
The Skip Prosser Award was established in 2008 to honor those who not only achieve success on the basketball court but who display moral integrity off of it as well. The winner will be announced at an awards banquet during Final Four weekend (April 5-7) in Arlington, Texas.
In his fourth season at the helm at Green Bay, Wardle guided the Phoenix to the program's best season in nearly two decades. Green Bay posted a 24-7 overall record and used a 14-2 mark in Horizon League play to claim the conference's regular season title for the first time since 1995-96. On March 3, Wardle was named the Horizon League Coach of the Year.
The finalists also include Roman Banks (Southern University), John Becker (Vermont), Glenn Braica (St. Francis Brooklyn), Dick Hunsaker (Utah Valley), Tony Jasick (IPFW), Joe Jones (Boston University), Mike Krzyzewski (Duke), Paul Lusk (Missouri State), Phil Martelli (St. Joseph's), Randy Rahe (Weber State), Monte Ross (Delaware), Wayne Tinkle (Montana), Michael White (Louisiana Tech), Jay Wright (Villanova).
Prosser posted a career record of 291-146 in 14 seasons as a head coach. During his time at Wake Forest, Prosser's teams averaged 21 wins per season while playing in arguably the nation's most difficult league, the Atlantic Coast Conference.

If, however, you were doing something better with your time than reading about the Clone Saga or how Adam X (THE X-TREME!) might be the fabled third Summers brother, a little explanation might be in order.
