The production of this database has taken a great deal of staff resources. The authors would like to thank Dr Eurwyn Wiliam, Deputy Director General and Richard Brewer, Keeper of Archaeology & Numismatics at Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales, for making museum resources available.
The Friends of Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales provided a research grant to one of the authors (Sian Williams) to assist with data collection, and Gayle Evans and Sally Carter (Documentation Unit), made her time available.
In addition, this project has only been possible thanks to the availability of the Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales library and the assistance of its staff, John Kenyon, Louise Carey and Jennifer Evans. Additional use was also made of the Cardiff University Library and that of the Society of Antiquaries of London, in the rare instances that the museum's library did not suffice.
The website was developed using a framework established by the Publications Unit at Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales, and the project's banner was created by Graham Davies, Curator - Virtual Museum. A partial draft of the website's text was read and amended by Edward Besly and Richard Brewer.

Gettin ready for my next run in a few months. I'm finally convinced that size is never going to look good on me due to my shape and characteristics. Cut seems to be the way for me to look my best. So with that in mind I was thinking about running a cycle like this.
Tren E 600mg week 1-6
Mast E 600mg week 1-6
Test E 250mg week 1-6
Drop Tren and mast and Increase test e to 750 for 2 weeks then start:
Eq 400mg week 12-24
Test E 750 week 12-24
Anadrol 75mg daily week 12-17
Decrease test to 250 weekly for 2 weeks then run the tren/mast/test cycle again for another 6 weeks for a 34 week cycle total Using AI arimidex for E2 control
PCT protocol per llewelyn anabolics 10th
Im 38 years old
186 lbs, 5'9"
12.3% BF (Hydrostatic dunk tank tested)
squat max 335
deadlift max 400
Bench max 285
My rational for this is to cut as much fat off as possible during the first six weeks then run the bulking cycle for size then cut again to harden and define what mass I built during the bulk.

I work in a computer lab for my university. The computers have all been set up now to require us students to logon to the domain, using our student ids. Our birthday is our password by default, but we can have it changed. When we logon to the workstations we have limited accounts, but whatever we download to that workstation, will save on that workstation - no deepfreeze.
Whatever changes we make on the system will only affect our account, that's the jist of it.
Someone has managed to do a system wide install, so their files and spywares, etc are affecting my productivity. Sure I can just change workstations, but I want to know how this works. I'm gonna get back in there and try to see what's going on.

Any good alignment, within the broad range of goodness from too-good-to-be-real to just-good-enough-to-be-called-good can be hard to play in a setting where killing is par for the course.

Residents with questions about the US 89 closure sparked by a landslide on Feb. 20 now have a place to go to get updates and their questions answered.
The Arizona Department of Transportation has set up an office in Page that is staffed twice a week.
ADOT will have a representative at Page City Hall at 697 Vista Ave. in Page from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Wednesday and Thursday.
Recently, the state transportation board said a 45-mile-long Navajo tribal road will be used as a temporary state highway to route traffic around a damaged area of US 89 that has been closed for a month.
A hillside landslide buckled part of US 89 north of Bitter Springs and south of Page.
Navajo Route 20 between The Gap and Page will become US 89T and be used as an alternate to a closed stretch of US 89 south of Page, the board decided during a special meeting Thursday.
"ADOT has been working with the Navajo Division of Transportation, the Navajo Nation and the Bureau of Indian Affairs to pave N20 as an interim measure to shorten the detour route between Flagstaff and Page," said Dallas Hammit, ADOT deputy state engineer of development.
Hammit said that with help from the Federal Highway Administration, federal emergency relief funds would be used to restore essential traffic in the region on a temporary basis until US 89 reopens. The price tag is about $1 million.
"This is not the long-term solution, but it will help the thousands of people who are inconvenienced daily by this unscheduled detour caused by last month's landslide," Hammit said.
State Department of Transportation crews will pave Navajo Route 20 and ensure it can carry commercial truck traffic while repairs are made to US 89.
Work on the tribal route that parallels US 89 is expected to take up to four months to complete.

England's outspoken batsman Kevin Pietersen has called for life time bans for any cricketer who has been involved in spot-fixing.
The four-time Ashes winning star is currently in Dubai where he has just launched the latest My Citizen Super Titanium Collection of watches and has been speaking to Gulf News.
It is not the first time Pietersen has made the headlines this week after his online discussion with England footballer Jack Wilshire made the back pages earlier in the week over eligibility row.
After Manchester United youngster Adnan Januzaj burst onto the scene with two goals against Sunderland last week it emerged The FA contacted him about representing the three lions on residency grounds. This is a statement Wilshire appeared to disagree with which Pietersen reacted to.
The Twitter conversation quickly finished despite the on-going media attention to the subject which is set to rumble on for a while yet.
However, the 33-year-olds thoughts turned to spot fixing in cricket when asked by a journalist in the middle-east.
"My views are very clear, if they get caught, finish them for life. I've got no interest in any of that nonsense." Pietersen told Gulf News.
"I love the game of cricket and anyone who tries to mess with it or cheat it or take things away from it doesn't deserve to have the privilege that we have of playing this great game."
The powerful batsman was then asked if he had ever seen anything himself to which he replied: "Not a chance, no way. They know what they would probably get from me."
The line of questioning quickly turned to the t20 format of the game and the hugely successful IPL which Pietersen has been involved with in playing for Delhi Daredevils.
England's all-time leading run scorer is a huge figure in Asia and he speaks about his admiration for the concept.
"I love the IPL, what they've done in India with that tournament is pretty special. All the players love it, it's fantastic to play in. It's really fast, fun and the fans love it — we get full houses in every single game, especially there in Delhi.
"The support we've got is brilliant. But I suppose you could say the same for every team, it's incredible. It's sensational, you get a whole crowd of 60,000 people chanting your name every time you walk on to the field, it's one of the best feelings you can ever have."

December 1, 2012 9:50:16 PM
FISHTRAP HOLLOW -- Norman Rockwell might have painted the scene, except it would have been too idyllic for him.
I have seen a bluer sky, but only on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho. The sun warmed the earth to 70 degrees. Orange leaves held fast to the limbs of pear trees.
The oldest child visitor, 13, produced her copy of Southern Living and whipped up something called a Robert E. Lee pound cake on my old kitchen table. Mary Drue wore her stylish clothes beneath my pressman's apron and looked like a million dollars. Hey, hey, Betty Crocker. This girl is a rocker....
The youngest child, Darcy, soon to be 11, ran relentlessly through drifts of fallen leaves with my dog Hank, acting the way children used to before they were tethered to television and computers. Long, shiny tresses were pulled back from her perfect face in an effortless coif.
Their mother read a book in a pool of sun on the porch. Their father hunted squirrels in the woods. Their grandfather, my husband, pushed a big turkey into a small oven.
If Thanksgivings were scripts, ours would have run on the Hallmark channel.
For 25 years, I've yearned for a weekend like the one we had. I knew this place had the potential. I just never could conjure up the family.
Except for a sisterly squabble over socks and one late-night, shrill political rant by me, the holiday went off without a hitch.
Writers always think a lot about "sense of place." It is a phrase that crops up at conferences and in books that analyze famous literature. A "sense of place" is deemed important.
Before you can have a sense of one, you must have a place.
I knew I had found mine when first I saw this lonely hollow a quarter of a century ago. That's not long in land-owning measure. My grandfather didn't raise cotton in the field across the road. My mother didn't rock me to sleep on the porch. I didn't' grow up seeing the sun set over the hay field.
But for a nomadic journalist like myself, 25 years is an eternity. This dollop of Mississippi hill country feels like an anchor at times, holding steady in stormy seas. And, yes, at times like a burdensome albatross.
I've lived places that were easier to love. Beautiful St. Simons Island, Ga., for instance. Nobody wonders how you end up there, if you do. They look around at the live oaks and fine beach houses and quaint seaside village and figure it out on their own.
This is different. It takes an imaginative gene and romantic heart to love this place passionately. The grounds aren't groomed, and the old house is a time warp of good intentions and timber. I sit by the wood stove today to write these words because the window by my desk won't close all the way.
Flaws can be beauty marks. Or they can be flaws, depending on your mood.
All I know for sure is this. On a November Thursday with a holiday name, ordinary things came together in an extraordinary way. Pine beetles and rotten floor joists and wavy sheetrock and roadside ravines full of litter were forgotten, ignored.
Fishtrap Hollow was more silk purse than swine's ear, and a few dear others shared the vision.

I Hereby Agree to Every Future iTunes Update
All software should work like Chrome and install fixes silently.
In April, two programmers reported that iPhones appeared to be constantly tracking their owners' physical location. Wherever you went, your phone seemed to jot down your latitude and longitude and store that data indefinitely. Apple quickly issued a clarification: Actually, the iPhone is logging the location of Wi-Fi routers and cell towers that are nearby its users in order to help the device quickly find itself on a map. The company knew this wasn't a very comforting message, and it promised to issue a software update that would encrypt this information and reduce the length of time that your phone saved it.
The software update for iPhones and 3G iPads, which also recorded locations, went out to customers on May 4. I was eager to install it until I saw the size of the file that Apple wanted me to download: 662 megabytes. The fix in question probably involved changing no more than a few dozen lines of code, and yet Apple wanted me to download and reinstall the iPhone's entire operating system—a file the size of a full-length movie. With the average American broadband speed of 5 Mbps, it would take more than 20 minutes to download the iPhone fix and another five or 10 to install it. Was it worth it? I decided to give in, but I bet many people didn't bother. When you consider the time, effort, and broadband space you'd need for such a simple fix, it almost seems preferable to just let your phone invade your privacy.
The iPhone's humungous update wasn't an anomaly. We're drowning in updates. Every time I go to use my computer, phone, or tablet, something wants to freshen up. Adobe has discovered yet another critical error in Flash and Java is promising fabulous new features just behind the download button. OK, I'll do that. But hold on, now Windows needs attention. Turns out there are five "important" updates and 40 "optional" waiting to be installed. OK, I guess I'll cancel my morning meetings. Or wait, let's cancel the whole day, because now my MacBook Air wants me to download half a gigabyte of fixes, and then there are about two dozen iPhone apps that need refreshing. Oh damn, let me just take the whole month off, because it looks like iTunes is ready for another update, too. It's only the fourth one this year.
In theory, this is a good thing. I've gone on record praising our era of Internet-updatable devices. Updates breathe new life into old stuff. Thanks to periodic downloads, the phone you bought three years ago keeps getting better. When a hacker locates a chink in Windows' armor, Microsoft can plug that hole reasonably quickly. But the update wagon has gotten extremely overcrowded. Software companies are sending out too many updates, these updates are getting ever-larger, and the payoff is usually unspectacular. Twice over the last year, I've turned on my TV to discover that it, too, was in the process of updating itself. True, no single update is especially onerous by itself—10 minutes to get the new iPhone OS isn't going to ruin your day—but with every app on every device prompting you for an update on a regular basis, you start to expect to have to wait 20 minutes every time you turn something on.
We need a new way to update our stuff. Fortunately, there's a great model for how every app should handle updates—Google's Chrome Web browser, which has made updates completely invisible and totally painless.
Chrome updates itself automatically, constantly, without asking for permission. Google calls this "silent updating," because Chrome applies the new code in the background, where you won't notice (unlike the way many programs, including Firefox, ask you to hold on while it refreshes and then demands to be restarted). As a result, every time you start Chrome, you're running the latest "stable" version available. (You can choose to get even newer versions by signing up for Chrome's beta track.) Chrome's painless update process is the product of a lot of sophisticated software engineering. Rather than reinstalling the whole program, Chrome's designers have figured out a way to update the ones and zeroes in the program on your computer just where it has changed. This approach dramatically reduces the size of the files they send to your computer during an update. "It is an anathema to us to push out a whole new 10MB update to give you a ten-line security fix," Stephen Adams, a Chrome software engineer, wrote in 2009. Instead, the update system compares the version of Chrome you have on your computer to the new one sitting on Google's server, and then it sends you only the key differences in code. A 10-megabyte update can be reduced to a tiny, 78K download. In a recent post praising Chrome's update system, Coding Horror's Jeff Atwood argued that Chrome had "transcended" the very notion of "software versioning." Chrome updates so quickly that its version number might as well be infinity.
Why don't all updates work like this? Blame manners and lawyers. Asking permission has always been good policy in software. If a program is going to download lots of code and make huge changes to your computer, it's considered a good idea to ask for permission first, especially if that update is going to inconvenience you while it installs itself. (And some platforms enforce this: Apple screens every update for iPhone and iPad apps, and updates can't be installed without a user consenting through the App Store.) Sure, the idea of software dialing home to get updates without asking seems shady, the kind of thing you'd expect from malware. The legal aspect is also important: As any piece of software balloons with new features, company lawyers inevitably come up with new provisions over that software—so you've got to pause to sign a new agreement. *
There are some people who are bothered by Chrome's silent updates—there are several threads on the Chrome's support discussion forum in which people demand that Chrome allow them to opt-out of updating. I'll join that call; you should be able to turn off auto updates if you want.
But I'm not troubled by Chrome's system. In fact, I'd be much happier if all software copied Chrome's method. If I could, I'd allow iTunes, Windows, my Mac, my iPhone, Flash, and probably everything else on my machine to keep themselves up to date. It's not as though I'm doing anything other than clicking "OK" right now—I'm not carefully auditing the new code for errors. Ideally, all designers would steal Chrome's method of reducing download sizes, and they'd install fixes without ever interrupting me. Even better, software should wait until it detects that I'm not doing something important and then apply the fix. When that Utopian future arrives, I'll be sure to update this article.
Correction, May 31, 2011: This article originally stated that the iTunes license agreement is 79 pages. The sentence has been removed. ( Return to the corrected sentence.)

You can't win your fantasy baseball draft league in the first round alone, but there are ways you can lose it.
Gamble on the wrong player early, and that could leave the rest of your roster in a lurch all season. With that in mind, our five-person staff takes a look at some of the worst early-round values for 2014. Two of our experts agreed on the same guy.
Bender's pick/Lutovsky's pick: Troy Tulowitzki. It's not a question of production -- Tulo hit .312 with 25 homers and 82 RBIs last season. He's a proven producer in a hitter's park. So, what's the problem? Tulowitzki has missed 210 games over the past four seasons, an average of 52.5 games per year. That's a large chunk to time to fill for a first-round pick, which remains Tulowitzki's average cost on draft day.
MORE AWARDS: Best-late round value | Breakout hitters | Breakout pitchers
Pinkerton's pick: Ryan Braun. Owners are going to spend the entire offseason wondering what a "clean" Braun is going to do for their fantasy baseball team. Braun still likely won't fall past the second round despite his role in the Biogenesis scandal last season because of his 30/30 track record. It's not potential when you've been there twice, but Braun is one of the riskiest draft-day picks.
Williams' pick: Joey Votto. Votto is good. Perhaps too good. Nobody took more walks last season (135), a nod to Votto's superior pitch recognition. Unfortunately, walks don't help traditional 5x5 owners much, and Votto has averaged just 19 homers and 64 RBIs the past two seasons. Owners need Votto to swing the bat more, even if it comes at the expense of a .314 lifetime batting average.
MORE FANTASY BASEBALL: 2014 Draft Kit | Join Fantasy Source
Valentine's pick: Bryce Harper. Harper's first two seasons have featured a lot of style, but how much substance? He's hitting .272 and averaging 21 homers with 14.5 stolen bases per year. Oakland's Coco Crisp put up similar totals last year (.261, 22 HRs, 21 SBs). Harper has the potential to take the next step, but taking him in the first round is still more of a stylistic approach that could prove troublesome.

Shanghai (PRWEB) January 11, 2014
The U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP), a nonprofit global health organization that creates and promotes quality standards for medicines, herbal medicines/dietary supplements and food ingredients, today marked the official inauguration of its expanded state-of-the-art laboratory and administrative facility in Shanghai, China.
"This is a tangible demonstration of the importance and value that USP and our counterparts in China place on assuring the quality of medicines, herbal medicines/dietary supplements and foods in China, the US and in all countries around the world," said Roger L. Williams, M.D., chief executive officer of USP. Williams celebrated the official opening of the new Shanghai site with a delegation of USP volunteers and leadership staff, along with representatives from China, the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) and other local and international dignitaries. Volunteer representation came from USP's Board of Trustees and standards-setting body, the Council of Experts.
Williams noted the inauguration marks the beginning of a week-long series of symposia, workshops and training programs in Shanghai, along with meetings concerning Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs), advisory groups and expert committees. This series of meetings will highlight issues such as global quality standards for medicines; rapid testing technology to detect counterfeit and substandard medicines and foods; food standards, food testing and issues related to food adulteration and contamination; and other presentations regarding food and drug quality standards.
These forums and educational programs feature presentations from experts drawn from different parts of the world, focusing on cooperative efforts involving USP, the Chinese Pharmacopoeial Commission (ChP), China's National Institutes for Food and Drug Control (NIFDC) and the China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment (CFSA). Representatives of World Health Organization and the US FDA are also attending various events associated with the inaugural week.
Williams said the expanded USP site in Shanghai features 95,000 square feet of space for laboratory facilities which have been designed to not only address today's challenges related to product quality, but also to evolve and grow as new issues emerge. Additional administrative space may be used for education, training and allied activities associated with USP's core standards-setting work. In addition to Shanghai, USP operates laboratories in São Paulo, Brazil; Hyderabad, India; and at USP's headquarters in Rockville, Md. (USA).
"Having a facility of this size and capability on the ground in China is extremely valuable, especially in a city like Shanghai, which has become a significant part of global pharmaceutical R&D and manufacturing," said Williams. "This location will provide improved opportunities for USP to connect and communicate with Chinese-based manufacturers and regulators; expand training and technical outreach; work jointly on documentary and physical standards; translate USP's compendia into Chinese; promote the value of visiting scientist programs and other cooperative efforts."
Williams explained that the pharmaceutical industry and the pharmaceuticals market in China are both growing rapidly. China is also a large and growing force in the production of generic drugs. China's regulatory and compendial leadership has expressed its commitment to advancing modern, relevant standards for medicines and foods, and USP has joined in this effort via MOUs with ChP, NIFDC and CFSA. Given USP's role in law in the United States, where the current official versions of United States Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary are referenced and enforceable by the US FDA, USP has also worked closely with FDA and its staff in China to advance good standards for foods and drugs.
"We live in an ever-shrinking world, which makes the quality of products made and sold in China just as important as the quality of products made and sold in the United States," Williams said. "The global flow of products means that quality issues can have a wide impact and having a facility in China allows USP to work more closely with developments in this important industry."
Williams added that the expanded presence in Shanghai is another step forward in a relationship whose groundwork was laid nearly a century ago, with the first translation of USP standards into Chinese in 1923.
In recent decades, USP outreach to China has intensified, starting with a 1990 visit to ChP. The following year, Mr. Wang Ping (currently the Deputy Secretary General of ChP) became the first Chinese scientist to participate in the newly established USP Visiting Scientists Program and the years since have seen the relationship continue to evolve and expand.
In inaugurating its new facility, USP expresses sincere appreciation to its hosts in China, which reflect a broad array of government bodies both centrally and in the district city of Shanghai, together with representatives from manufacturers, academicians and many other stakeholders from civil society.

Mobile & Apps: "Since the dawn of gaming, many companies tend to entered the market with obscure products on a regular basis. It's a regular thing, it's expected. However, when these products come from well known companies with a history in gaming, then right there we have a problem."
This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. 3D games on current phones/tables especially the iPad 4 have VASTLY superior image quality, super-HD resolutions and superior textures to the PS3 and the 360. This will steamroll current consoles in image quality on a 1080p TV. Consoles run at 800x600 or some joke of a resolution with shitty textures, low poly models and horrendous jaggies.
Not to mention it has a full fledged controller, a 2nd display and does EVERYTHING better than a console without stupid restrictions on video formats, streaming, data transfer etc.
The biggest joke is this thing will have superior resolution, texture quality and framerates than the PS4 and 720.
console gamer: we don't care for graphics but gameplay
console gamer 2: god of war has better graphics than halo but gears of war has better graphics than uncharted.
console gamers say they don't care for graphics but why are they always comparing games and talking about FPS.
the thing looks tho like it was beat with an ugly stick
its something new, its an interesting idea that may be better implemented in the future.
For me its more about the Tegra 4. The next gen of tablets and smart phones are going to be graphical powerhouses.

The collection here assembled includes 15 stories, all rooted in history, of Dutch immigrants and pioneers that aim "to illustrate the beauty of an ethno-religious heritage too grand to be sacrificed on the altar of American homogeneity." This is a reprint of the 1979 publication.
1979/2010, paperback, 274 pages, $16.00
From the back cover
The names of Van Raalte and Scholte are familiar to many North Americans of Dutch roots. These men and women led the new immigration into the United States, a movement that for them began in 1846. Many pages of history, and even some fiction, have been devoted to these and other powerful leaders of a quietly devout group whose wooden shoes and tulips have become the characteristic features that distinguish them from the broad mosaic of American ethnicities.
But what of the other Dutch immigrants? What of the Kuipers, the Boers, the Smids, the Timmermans, the Sneiders, the Bakkers, the Vissers, the Koks, the Kramers, and the Mulders? What of the men and women whose surnames distinguish their occupations, the laborers and the craftsmen whom history can so easily lose among society's notables? Their history-less often recorded, less often noticed-can be more rich and rewarding for subsequent generations, not because of prestige and power, but because of its simple humanity. Their story is a register of the hearts and souls of the common people whose life's task was to work the land, preach the Word, shape leather or iron, build barns and houses, or keep the home.
The collection here assembled includes 15 stories, all rooted in history, stories of men and women whose experiences are true human drama. Some are strong, unmoveable in the face of hardship; some are weak, too soft, perhaps, for the rigors of pioneer life. Some are devout, full of a piety that has often been a caricature of the Dutch immigrant; some are free-spirited, unencumbered by an ominous sense of human depravity. Together they comprise a story too warm and human to be neglected.
James Calvin Schaap is a fifth generation descendent of Dutch immigrants to southeastern Wisconsin. He is professor of English at Dordt College.
The first edition of Sign of a Promise was published by Dordt College Press in 1979-the author's first book.

Unfinished Business: The One Missing Pieceby David HM Spector
And it was not happy.
So it set off in search
of its missing piece.
And as it rolled
it sang this song-
Oh I'm lookin' for my missin' piece
I'm lookin' for my missin' piece Hi-dee-ho, here I go,
Lookin' for my missin' piece
Linux is a lot like that semi-circle from Shel Silverstein's famous and endearing children's book: almost a complete circle, but not quite. With all of the incredible strides that Linux has made from the smallest embedded devices to the some of the largest supercomputers ever made, there is one piece of its complete adoption in the enterprise that's still missing--a not so little piece still to be done: integration and interoperability with Active Directory (AD).
As I type this opening paragraph I can almost hear the screams of indignation in the distance: Work with AD?! Why would anyone need to work with AD? Active Directory is not a standard! It's been embraced and extended! Who needs that? We've got LDAP and NIS and Kerberos and... Well, let's look at where we are in the grand scheme of things and see if we can disambiguate things a bit:
Linux has really reinvigorated the UNIX family of operating systems, as well as competition in the server market place. The hard work and talents of thousands of developers have made Linux an unstoppable force in the data center. They have also set the foundation for Linux (and other UNIXes) to provide credible and well-implemented alternatives to Microsoft Office on the desktop, but Microsoft still has absolutely no competition in the directory space. The directory space is the key to the desktop marketplace and the possibility of Linux's total integration in mainstream environments, because that's where all the really important metadata--the stuff that businesses run on--lives.
Enterprise Directory Services in 250 Words or Less
You're probably wondering what's the big deal about a directory. It's just LDAP, right? Sort of. It's hard to do justice in a couple of paragraphs to a topic about which no fewer than 200 books have been written, but here's a quick primer.
Related Reading
Linux in a Nutshell
An enterprise directory is a repository of concrete and metadata objects which describe the relationships between all of the objects in a computational ecosystem. Examples of concrete data objects include usernames, passwords, computer names, printer names, IP addresses, home directories, and so on. In general, these are objects you can see, touch, or manipulate directly.
The other set of objects managed by a directory are almost all "metadata"--literally "data about data." Metadata objects don't have any meaning unto themselves. Some aggregate concrete objects. Others describe relationships: to a concrete object, to a concrete object's attributes, or to other metadata objects. Examples of directory metadata objects include groups of users or groups of computers, organizational units such as the marketing department, access control lists, password expiration times, computer configurations, software configurations, application license keys and end-users rights identifiers, print queue descriptions, campus locations, office/cubicle numbers, phone number data, and even relationships between enterprise applications that need to talk to each other.
A fully developed directory service contains enough information to allow an IT staff to manage totally an infrastructure from the infrastructure's configuration to the day-to-day operational data needed for simple tasks: from allowing users to print to the right printers to complex tasks like holding credentials and data transformation rules used by applications. It must also allow for the delegation of roles and responsibilities so that interns can't destroy enterprise databases or modify accounts but senior sysadmins aren't clearing paper jams from print queues either.
Directory Services under Linux/UNIX
I've drawn a pretty distinct line in the sand, and now I have to cross it. How does the scenario I've laid out relate to Linux/Unix and what's Microsoft's Active Directory got to do with all of this?
Directory services as we use them today are an outgrowth of an unlikely victory in a standards battle that took place in the mid-1980s. The academically generated IETF standards of networking (TCP/IP) and email (RFC822) battled the corporately funded International Standards Organization's (ISO) ISO Networking Stack and the X.400/X.500 email and email directory system. The details are fascinating, if not a bit tedious and out of place here. The IETF network standards were better designed in terms of implementations, but the ISO standards--especially those for email directories--were richer in terms of the data that could be stored and used effectively for email. The result was a middle of the road compromise that took the best of the ISO email directory and made it useful as a general-purpose attribute-based token storage system. The resulting protocol was the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
LDAP allows the storage and retrieval of rooted trees of data where each tree represents some related and hierarchical relationship of information. How that data is stored is implementation dependent, but the syntax descriptions mechanisms for storing data and accessing data are the same regardless of the kinds of data stored. This is accomplished by the definitions of database schema that describe data to be stored in an implementation independent way. It was XML for organizational data before XML was invented.
In the UNIX world, LDAP has been typically used to store phonebook type information. In fact a quick look at Freshmeat.net and SourceForge shows that the majority of Open Source LDAP projects are about keeping phone directory info. Another common use for LDAP is for the storage of credentials for email systems (such as POP3 or IMAP) or for remote access solutions such as RADIUS.
A less common UNIX [1] use for LDAP, even though it's supported by every major Linux and UNIX vendor, is for storing user login information. Unfortunately, few people use LDAP to store esoteric information such as Kerberos keys or access control lists or to knit together all of this information into one cohesive data pool. That would decouple user, application, and rights information from the physicality of the hardware where it is stored.
Microsoft, for all of its embrace and extend philosophy, does know a good thing when it sees it. In LDAP it discovered a solution to a long standing problem since the release of Windows NT: How do you describe everything that can go on in an enterprise and manage that information without the resulting system being so fragile that it's broken by change?
With few exceptions, Active Directory is basically an LDAP engine in which Microsoft has defined every possible relationship between data and actions one can perform on a Microsoft-based platform. To make the whole thing secure from a authentication management perspective, they use Kerberos (albeit with a couple of very controversial and proprietary extensions) and Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs). From user-logins and groups to the storage and management of authentication tokens (Kerberos tickets and GUIDs); from the management of application information to the management of print queues, Active Directory manages it all. Administrators can replicate this information across large organizations and delegate bits of functionality and authority. This avoids the root privilege problem one typically sees under UNIX when someone needs to reconfigure a printer.
Where's the Disconnect and What Does it Mean??
Since LDAP, Kerberos, and most of the other tools that Microsoft has aggregated into Windows Active Directory were developed in the Unix world, it should be a no-brainer to integrate them under Linux/UNIX. What happened?
First, Microsoft is in a unique position. For good or ill, it controls all aspects of what goes into the operating system and how those pieces interoperate. It can lock out 3rd parties from adding or changing how those pieces work. The result is a very well-constrained set of administrative APIs and pools of data, even in a mixed 95/98, NT, Win2000 and WinXP environment.
In the Linux/UNIX world, as Perl programmers like to say, there's
more than one way to do it. Because UNIX-like systems are not a
monoculture in terms of base operating systems, services, and
facilities, there has never been a single set of unifying drivers that
can be applied universally to every network of UNIX machines. The X
Window developers once described the lack of a User Interface Standard
as a difference between believers in policies versus believers in
religions. In UNIX environments, there are at least 6 commonly used
methods for dealing with user accounts alone (vanilla
/etc/passwd, passwd+shadow, NIS, NIS+, RDB and LDAP)--all
policies to choose from, no hard and fast religion that says here's
how it should be done. Once you get into all of the management of
peripherals like printers, address books, and remote access, your
options get exponentially more complicated. Then there's
interoperability with a common administrative/management framework
that works and plays well with non-UNIX environments like Active
The end result? This is a problem; it's keeping Linux off of the corporate desktop because IT managers can't easily integrate Linux systems into their existing environments [2].

Why Hasn't Anyone Solved this Under UNIX?
It's a very hard problem. LDAP may be useful and powerful, but deploying it piecemeal by hand is neither for the faint of heart nor the weak of stomach. LDAP schemas (the files that tell LDAP how to parse data for a given tree of information) are not easy to develop, let alone read or write. Since there are so many different mechanisms for everything from user-login to ACLs, there is no standard set of LDAP schemas for implementers to draw from [3]. Add to this that LDAP's base configuration files are so user-unfriendly as to provoke need of deep, deep psychotherapy. In short, it's a bear to set up.
Despite being really powerful and really challenging to deploy at the same time, there are a couple partial solutions that can enable Linux/UNIX shops to take advantage of the power of an enterprise-like directory:
Sun's ONE Directory Server, formerly iPlanet, is an impressive offering. It's a full featured LDAP solution that does a lot of what Active Directory does. It has one huge failing: it is completely incompatible with AD. To be fair, Sun is trying to position this as an alternative. They provide all sorts of tools and libraries to allow Windows clients to be equal players in a Sun ONE directory environment, which is more than Microsoft does. (Then again Sun doesn't control over 95% of the worlds desktop computing market. Microsoft has few obvious economic incentives to be nice to competitors.)
Directory Administrator is a nice GUI front end to an OpenLDAP server that can be used to make a limited single-sign-on solution for a UNIX network. This makes using and administering LDAP quite a bit easier, but it works best if you already have a running LDAP implementation.
In the next part of this series we'll explore exactly what needs to be brought together to make Linux/UNIX equal players as both clients and servers in the enterprise directory-enabled space.

1. The one exception to this is Apple's implementation of Netinfo on top of LDAP, which we'll talk about in depth in Part II.
2. Purists will say Hey! PAM can talk to LDAP and therefore AD. Yeah, but try and change your password or use almost anything else served up by the directory.
3. There are several LDAP standards for UNIX login data and phone books. These too will be covered in Part II.

The primary responsibility of the Le Moyne College Spanish and French programs is to provide effective instruction to students in foreign languages and literatures within the liberal-arts environment and Jesuit tradition of the institution. This instruction includes experiences to promote linguistic and literary competence, intellectual growth, and personal development. A further responsibility is to encourage understanding of other cultures and appreciation of their differences.
Students who major in French or Spanish will:
Achievement of these goals is demonstrated through the student's:
Spanish Major
Students who major in Spanish or French will gain cross-cultural competence and develop their proficiency in the language so as to be able to meet the needs of the workplace in a target language setting. As part of their program of study, Spanish majors are required to spend a semester abroad, as well as take the Oral Proficiency Interview, a linguistic competence test developed by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.
Le Moyne also offers a sequence leading to New York state teaching certification for those looking to teach Spanish to others. Students will not only learn the language, but explore all aspects of the Spanish culture.
The Foreign Languages and Education Departments also offer a Five-Year Program leading to a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Science for Teachers Program in Spanish and Adolescent Education.

Students who major in Spanish or French will gain cross-cultural competence and develop their proficiency in the language so as to be able to meet the needs of the workplace in a target language setting. As part of their program of study, French majors are required to spend a semester abroad, as well as take the Oral Proficiency Interview, a linguistic competence test developed by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.
Le Moyne also offers a sequence leading to New York state teaching certification for those looking to teach French to others. Students will not only learn the language, but explore all aspects of the French culture.
Travel Experiences
Ou est Le Louvre? It's right over there, Le Moyne French students stayed in January 2015 when they were in Paris for ten days of language practice and immersion in the French culture. And then they walked across the Seine and made their way to see the Mona Lisa or the Venus de Milo or a million other pieces of art. They visited the Cathedral de Notre Dame, the Musee de Cluny, and the Palace of Versailles. They also made trips outside of Paris, to the Loire Valley (visiting two of the historic chateaux) and Chartres Cathedral. As French professor Rev. James Dahlinger said, "It is clear that facility in a foreign language and experience of travel abroad are skills and life experiences that are increasingly in demand in today's job markets."
A minor in Classical Humanities consists of 15 credit hours. It is offered to students who complete 6 semester hours in the same Classical language (Greek or Latin) at any level and 9 semester hours in classics courses at the 200-level, including Classical Mythology (CLS 203), Classical Literature in Translation (CLS 204), Women and Literature in Ancient Greece (CLS 205), the Roman history sequence (CLS 211, 212) and Greek and Roman Comedy (CLS 215).
Students majoring in other disciplines have the opportunity to pursue a minor concentration in French or Spanish by successfully completing 15 credit hours in the same language beyond intermediate level. These 15 credit hours must include at least two courses at the 300- or higher level.
A Latin minor is offered to students who complete 12 semester hours of the language, but Elementary Latin (LAT 101-102) cannot count toward the Latin minor.
An Italian minor is offered to students who complete 12 credit hours beyond Intermediate Italian. These 12 credit hours must include at least two courses at the 300-level.

Congressman Jim Matheson (D-Utah) has introduced a bill – H.R. 287 – to the United States House of Representatives which would give the Entertainment Software Rating Board's rating scheme – heretofore a voluntary, self-regulatory system – the force of law and make it illegal to sell "Mature" or "Adults Only" titles to minors.
I'm sorta puzzled how this in any way different from the California bill that the Supreme Court already struck down as unconstitutional. Anyone?
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
so they are just trying to pass a law that many other countries already use. big deal lol

LOS ANGELES (KABC) --On California's primary election day, voters weighed in on a number of races, including for governor, L.A. County supervisor, L.A. County sheriff and several congressional seats. But not a lot of people turned out to vote.
See California Primary Election Results
The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk says voter turnout was very low throughout the day. Dean Logan with the registrar's office says, as of 7 p.m., the unofficial sampling of turnout was 14.69 percent of eligible voters. The polls closed at 8 p.m.
Governor's Race
As expected, Gov. Jerry Brown took the top spot in the governor's race. But there's a tight race for second between Republicans Neel Kashkari, more of a social moderate, and Tim Donnelly, more of a social conservative.
With 60 percent of precincts reporting, Brown was leading a large field of gubernatorial candidates with 55 percent of the vote. Kashkari had 18 percent and Donnelly had 15 percent.
"California has come a long way in the last few years. We've closed a massive budget deficit. We have good relations between the two parties," Brown told reporters Tuesday night. "Californians appreciate living within our means, managing the people's money, creating a rainy day fund, and just bringing a very common sense, 'get it done' kind of approach."
It's the first election for statewide office held under California's new primary system, in which the top two vote-getters advance regardless of party affiliation.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Race
Jim McDonnell was leading the race for L.A. County sheriff. With 46 percent of precincts reporting, he had 47 percent of the vote. Paul Tanaka was a distant second with 15 percent of the vote, and Bob Olmsted was third with 10 percent. If McDonnell does not secure more than 50 percent of votes, then the top two contenders will face off in a runoff election in November.
McDonnell was a longtime assistant chief in the LAPD before taking over as chief of police in Long Beach. He was a latecomer to the race. It was a decision he made after Baca stepped down in January.
Tanaka, who is also mayor of Gardena, was once considered an early favorite. Tanaka's campaign had to overcome the fact that he is under investigation for allegedly obstructing an FBI investigation into inmate abuse at the county's downtown jails.
The L.A. County sheriff oversees the largest sheriff's department in the country, the largest county jail in the nation, and directly protects four million people. For the first time since 1998, Lee Baca is not running for sheriff. Many of his former deputies are running to replace him in a wide open race.
33rd Congressional District Race
Voters in the 33rd Congressional District will have their first truly open race in 40 years. Henry Waxman is retiring after four decades in office.
In one of the most unpredictable races in years, Republican Elan Carr was in the lead.
With 28 percent of precincts reporting, Carr had 22 percent of the vote and Democratic state Sen. Ted Lieu had 20 percent. Former L.A. controller and city councilwoman Wendy Greuel was in third place with 17 percent.
A total of 18 candidates put their name on the ballot. The top two vote-getters will face off in November.
Los Angeles County Supervisors' Race
One of the more contested races is the one for Los Angeles County Supervisor in District 3 to replace Zev Yaroslavsky, who termed out after 20 years in office.
Sheila Kuehl, who spent 14 years in the state legislature, was in the lead Tuesday night. With 34 percent of precincts report, she had 37 percent of votes, Bobby Shriver had 30 percent, and John Duran had 15 percent.
"I think my experience chairing the House Committee, chairing the Natural Resources Committee, the Budget Committee, actually allows me to kind of hit the ground running if I'm elected...because I know a lot about the programs, the budget," said Kuehl.
Shriver, the former Santa Monica councilman and nephew of the late President Kennedy, visited a homeless shelter in Sun Valley on Monday. He says homelessness is one of his key issues.
"I think particularly for homeless people and homeless vet, some of whom you see here today, it's a very important change," said Shriver. "What the county should be doing to get housing services, and particularly mental health services, for this population is very, very important."
Duran, a West Hollywood councilman, was talking to voters at a coffee shop Monday afternoon. He was endorsed by L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti. He says he is a pro-business social activist.
"I have this very interesting coalition of pro-business and moderate Democrats, coupled with Republicans and Independents and Latino voters across the district, and LGBT voters, and it's pulling all these different components together to give us enough votes to get past the primary tomorrow," said Duran.
The Los Angeles County supervisors oversee a $25 billion budget. Each supervisor represents 2 million people -- that's more than some governors. They oversee welfare programs, the sheriff's department and transit.
Proposition 41, the Veterans Housing and Homeless Prevention Bond Act, passed, according to early results. It earned 66 percent of the votes with 10 percent of precincts reporting.
Prop 41 authorizes the redirecting of $600 million in general obligation bonds to help fund construction of rental housing for low-income veterans and their families across California.
Proposition 42, the so-called "public's right to know" measure, also passed with 60 percent of the votes and 10 percent of precincts reporting.
It's a constitutional mandate requiring local government agencies, including cities, counties and school districts, to comply with laws for providing public access to meetings and records of officials. Local governments would pay all costs of compliance.

More than 900 people in Doncaster have lost their homes in the last twelve months - and over 300 households a week across Yorkshire are at risk.
That's the stark warning from housing charity Shelter which reveals that 1 in 37 households in the town are under threat.
Shelter said more than 17,000 householders in Yorkshire and the Humber are at risk of eviction or repossession - the equivalent of 330 households threatened every week, according to new figures.
The housing charity has revealed the hotspots across the region where people are most likely to face losing their home, showing Hull at the top of the list, followed by North East Lincolnshire, Barnsley and Sheffield.
Doncaster residents are less likely to lose their homes, behind Leeds and Scarborough.
Shelter is warning that despite the beginnings of economic recovery, growing numbers of families are still set to struggle in the future.
It predicts that with the majority of families already struggling month to month with their housing costs and interest rates set to rise, many could soon hit danger levels.
Liz Clare of Shelter said: "It's natural to hope mounting bills and arrears will go away, but the best thing to do is get expert advice straight away.
"People are hearing that the economy is recovering, but we're seeing the reality that many families across the country are still battling to keep their heads above water and keep their homes."
n Anyone struggling to pay their rent is advised to get expert help straight away from Shelter.

In 1952, Louie Macinanti opened Louie's Pizza on Main Street in Woburn with no frills and his own rules. Just pizzas on the menu, served only one size, 14 inches. Brief hours, 4 to 7 p.m. If the daily-made dough runs out, close up shop.
Devout locals never seemed to mind, adjusting to the quirks; the quiet Louie's made one of the best pies in the region. "We have customers that my grandfather will come down [from his apartment above the restaurant], look at a slip, and say, '[Shoot], he's been coming in here for 50 years,' " says Macinanti's grandson Derek, who took over the operation about 10 years ago after he graduated from college. "We actually still have a guy that comes in that claims he was the first customer. We make pizzas for people in New Hampshire that have moved from here a long time ago that want them half-cooked so they can reheat them."
The restaurant's patriarch inherited the dough recipe from his grandmother and has kept it a family secret, which is easy to do when the staff is family. Each morning, they make the dough, and regulars know to call far ahead to ensure there's enough for their pie. The dough gives Louie's an advantage over competitors with cheaper prices, Derek says. "My knowledge of a lot of places is they buy their dough," he says. "Making it is a lengthy process. It doesn't take too long, maybe 10 minutes for 40 different dough balls, but then they have to sit for two hours before we roll them. Then that dough has to sit for three to four hours before it can be used."
Sure enough, the crust is delightful, well-cooked and chewy at once with sweet sauce and fresh toppings. The pies speed-cook for six minutes in a gas-brick oven set to 650 degrees. Slices aren't overwhelming large, but they are satisfying. Two can you fill you up, meaning three or four people can typically share a pizza comfortably.
Louie's originally had only eight toppings, but Derek, 33, and younger brother Randy, 29, have since expanded to 14, though very carefully. "There's no fruit, there's no Hawaiian, there's no Buffalo chicken," Derek says. "It's very traditional."
The original eight toppings are on Louie's Special ($20), on the menu since opening day, a pie topped with pepperoni, sausage, salami, hamburg, linguica, green peppers, mushrooms, and onions. It's the favorite of nearly everyone at our table, though Derek says his grandfather isn't a fan, despite the fact that it bears his name. "The funny thing is, he doesn't eat it, he doesn't like it, but he named it the Louie's Special and it's awesome," he says. "It's not a huge seller because it has a ton of stuff on it, but anybody that knows pizza, likes pizza, would find it phenomenal."
The other special is a relatively recent addition, tomato and basil pizza ($13.50), with fresh sliced tomatoes and herbs. It's also quite good, especially with garlic (add $1.25). Every other pie is make-your-own. A plain cheese goes for $10.50, while a single topping pizza costs $11.25. Each additional topping is $1.25.
Derek and Randy Macinanti have changed very little about their grandfather's operation. Louie's now serves lunch most days but continues to close around "7 p.m.-ish." "I think that's what gets the people – the simplicity of no delivery, running out of dough, simple hours, one-size pizzas," says Derek.
Reminders of yesteryear are everywhere. The 90 percent takeout place remains cash-only and the staff punches sales into an ancient cash register. There's no alcohol, just cans and bottles of soda. Wood paneling and red-and-white checked tablecloths make the tiny, 12-seat room feel like an Italian restaurant set in an old crime movie. But perhaps the biggest reminder of Louie's legacy is its namesake, Louie Macinanti, retired nearly 10 years ago, but still preparing dough.
"About four to five times a week he still makes the first batch," Derek says. "He's 83 but probably the youngest 83-year-old you'll ever meet. It makes him feel good that he's still a part of it."Glenn Yoder can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

Back in 1999 there was an argument that ran around prior to the season about whether the Reds should go for it or rebuild.
Obviously they went for it and came painfully close to getting it. I maintain they'd have been a bear in a multi-game playoff, probably the toughest matchup for the Yankees of any of the NL contenders that season (though I don't think any team could have beaten the Yankees in 1999).
Yet prior to the season and during the first month while the team came together, much of the discussion was about its flaws, not its strengths. It wasn't a perfect team, nor was it guaranteed to win. Yet it became clear the club had quality offense, defense, depth, speed and relief pitching. Once it pieced together enough starting pitching it started winning games in large numbers. Its strengths remained through 2000, but the starting pitching wasn't up to the job. Then it went from being a flawed team that worked to a more flawed team didn't. Subsequent reload/rebuild efforts haven't netted positive results.
The mythology around the 99-00 is that it was a fluke and that the Reds should have gutted the club before it ever got constructed. Yet they were generally as good as the 05-06 Tigers and I don't see anyone damning that club. The Reds were good in 99-00, if not quite good enough. The lesson isn't that they were flawed, but that they managed their flaws fairly well.
That's what good teams do.
Look at the current world champions. The Phillies are a seriously flawed club. They've got holes in the lineup, holes in the rotation, depth issues and a bullpen with more than a few suspects. For instance, their top two power hitters, Howard and Burrell, are extremely streaky and their leadoff hitter has never posted a seasonal OB of better than .349.
And you don't have to look to spot the flaws on the 2006 Cardinals, 2005 White Sox, 2003 Marlins and 2002 Angels.
Likewise the 2008 Rays, 2007 Rockies, 2006 Tigers, 2005 Astros and 2002 Giants were deeply flawed clubs, but all made the final dance.
You can be good and flawed. Very few teams rank at the top of the league across the board and have bulletproof 1-8 or 1-9 lineups.
What the Reds are aiming for is a club that works around its flaws. Maybe your 2B isn't a great OB guy, but do his power, speed and glove make him a guy that could be an important piece of a winning club? You can trade vets for kids forever, but sooner or later you've got to settle on some players who may be imperfect, but are still important. I'm not saying Brandon Phillips must be kept, but the question should be asked whether he's potentially a meaningful piece of a quality ballclub.
And "quality ballclub" is a key phrase. Traditionalists frequently make the mistake that chemistry and playing the game the right way are all that's necessary to get a quality ballclub. Statheads often forget that orthagonal and seemingly secondary moves are what transforms a club from a loser to a winner. Magic bullets don't exist in either realm.
As the Reds try to stitch together a better team, the assessment that really counts is what does this add, how does it combine with what else the team has and what more does the team need to arrive at "quality ballclub" status.

How much do you know about the Civil War? Did it come about because of slavery, money, greed, states' rights, economic and social differences between the North and South, growth of the abolitionist movement, or all of the above? No matter what you think the reasons for it were, the war is a part of our history. There is an abundance of materials, both fiction and nonfiction, available at our libraries. Many movies have used this dramatic part of American history as its backdrop.
"Glory" is a stirring account of African-Americans in the Civil War: specifically the 54th regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. After the assault on Fort Wayne failed, the Union colonel was killed and members of the brigade scaled the parapet using brutal hand-to-hand combat. The Federals resorted to siege operations to reduce the fort. This was the fourth time in that war that African-American troops played a crucial combat role, proving to skeptics that they would fight bravely if given a chance. There is superb acting from an all-star cast. The film is historically accurate and rich in detail.
The movie "Gettysburg" is superb, based on one of the best novels ever written, "The Killer Angels," by Michael Shaara. This movie dramatically depicts the three most courageous days in American history as experienced by the leaders of the Confederate and Union armies. Well-staged battle scenes were filmed at Gettysburg. There is multifaceted character development and an outstanding performance by Jeff Daniels. Great music and an excellent screenplay make the movie a must see.
"Gone with the Wind" -- the title of which is often thought of a as a metaphor for the departure of a way of life that for some existed in the South prior to the Civil War -- is a well-loved classic love story that uses the Civil War as a backdrop. The story centers around a strong-willed Southern woman, Scarlett O'Hara. "Gone With the Wind" does a great job of depicting the South's point of view without moralizing. The movie takes a compelling look at the effects the war had on the Southern people. It is a story of the long tiring struggle for post-war survival -- strong, unforgettable characters abound.
"North and South" is a miniseries that does an excellent job of portraying one of the most important periods of our history. Two friends, one Northern and one Southern, struggle to maintain their friendships. The Mains are rural cotton planters who have a successful plantation, and the Hazards live in a small Northern mill town and live by manufacturing and industry. They reflect their differences that eventually led to the Civil War. Patrick Swayze leads an all-star cast with superb performances. Everyone should see it.
"The Red Badge of Courage," based on the classic novel by Stephen Crane, captures a young Union soldier's struggle with cowardliness. Audie Murphy, World War II's most decorated veteran, stars in the film. In the movie "Shenandoah," a successful planter in Virginia is unwilling to take sides in the Civil War but is forced to when the Union soldiers take his youngest son. The movie proceeds as his family travels to retrieve his son and discovers the horrors of the war along the way. Superb scenery and tremendous acting from Jimmy Stuart. (I still cry when I see the ending.)
Donald Sutherland plays General Beauregard in the fact-based tale "The Hunley," about the submarine and its crew. It is a story of great heroism, a portrayal of the uncommon and extraordinary temperament of the nine men who led the Hunley into history and died valiantly.
Many other DVDs are available at our libraries. Come by your local branch and browse our Civil War 150 displays and materials.
Mary Jo Berkes is the branch manager of Hilton Head Island library.
"Good reads to help further your understanding of the Civil War"

DISGRACED cyclist Lance Armstrong has reportedly admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France.
A source ''familiar with the situation'' told the Associated Press that Armstrong made the explosive revelation in a two-and-a-half-hour interview with Oprah Winfrey, taped on Monday, US time, and to be aired on Thursday (Friday Australian time).
American television network CBS reported that Armstrong had also ''indicated a willingness to testify'' against other people who were involved in illegal doping.
CBS also reported that Armstrong was considering returning part of the millions of dollars that his team received in sponsorship from the US postal service.
It comes after earlier reports that Armstrong "choked up" in an apology to staff at his cancer foundation ahead of his mooted tell-all interview.
Armstrong, 41, apologised to Livestrong foundation staff for "letting them down," the organisation has confirmed.
Quoting "a person with direct knowledge of the meeting", AP reported that several employees cried during Armstrong's comments, which were made during a meeting.
It was also reported that Armstrong, who did not make a direct confession about using banned drugs, urged staff to fight to continue helping cancer patients and their families.
Armstrong, a seven-time winner of the Tour de France who was stripped of the titles because of doping charges, created Livestrong in 1997 after his battle with testicular cancer. He is now battling to rebuild his reputation, according to USA Today.
The newspaper reported that in the interview with Winfrey, Armstrong would acknowledge using performance-enhancing drugs.
After the interview, Winfrey tweeted: "He came READY!".
The interview is scheduled to air on Winfrey's own television channel on Thursday, US time (Friday Australian time).
Two unidentified people with knowledge of the situation reportedly told the newspaper that Armstrong would not give any detail on specific cases and events.
In August, the US Anti-Doping Agency banned Armstrong from competition for life for "a career fuelled, start to finish, by doping". He lost his seven Tour de France titles after refusing to take the USADA case to arbitration.
The agency's report found that Armstrong forced teammates to take performance-enhancing drugs or be fired from his team, and himself transfused blood and used testosterone and erythropoietin, also known as EPO.
It comes about one month after British newspaper The Sunday Times started legal action against the cyclist to recoup money it paid him to settle a legal case.
In 2004, the paper published claims from a book that Armstrong took performance-enhancing drugs but after Armstrong sued, the paper, owned by Rupert Murdoch, paid him about £300,000 [$456,000 Australian].
The newspaper is seeking about £1 million [$1.5 million Australian] for a return of the settlement payout, as well as interest and its costs in defending the case. It says Armstrong's proceedings were ''baseless and fraudulent''.
During a weekend jog, Armstrong told AP: "I'm calm, I'm at ease and ready to speak candidly."
He also told AP via text message that: "I told her [Winfrey] to go wherever she wants and I'll answer the questions directly, honestly and candidly. That's all I can say."
The USADA case led to a wholesale review of Cycling Australia's operations in light of admissions from two key local administrators that they had doped during their own cycling careers.

I'd venture to say that many mothers would not appreciate a woman that had been dating their son for 3 months sleeping over in his bed.I can imagine people that I know purposely making the situation uncomfortable by walking in the room. It is PA and would be better to tell the son that overnight female guests are not allowed, but part of me understands why a person might handle it this way.
This isn't my story but this happened to me! When DH (then BF) and I were in college his parents invited us to stay over at the house so they could meet me. They specifically invited us to stay together in the guest room which made me uncomfortable because my upbringing was much more conservative and that would NEVER have flown in my parent's house. After declining a few times BF convinced me it wasn't a big deal and we went for the visit. It was perfectly lovely, they were (are!) nice people who made me feel very welcome. The problem came the next morning when we woke up and were getting dressed. I had my jeans on but no top and was laying facedown on the bed looking through my bag. MIL barged right in, no knock, and proceeded to stand at the foot of the bed having a full 10 minute conversation with BF. I was young and unsure how to handle the situation so I just lay there silent and frozen praying she would leave soon. She's not PA just hopefully clueless about pretty much everything. I didn't go back for a while but when I was finally ready to face them again BF had a nice chat about boundaries and knocking and we never had any issues. Still makes me blush to think about it though!

Bowlers Journal International (BJI) began its annual list of the top 100 bowling coaches in 2006.
"No sport survives and thrives without a core of qualified men and women who can teach the basics to beginners and the intricacies to advanced players," BJI's 2012 Top 100 Coaches article said. The magazine's editorial staff annually gives recognition to coaches from the youth bowling ranks to the professional level.
Hagen was hired in by Sam Houston State three years ago to begin women's bowling as the university's 17th NCAA Division I intercollegiate sport.
The Bearkats became the first inaugural program to earn a berth in the NCAA Elite Eight in its first season in 2010-11, ending the season ranked No. 8 nationally. The squad stood No. 9 in the 2012 final rankings.
Sam Houston State has compiled a record of 150 victories and 76 losses in intercollegiate competition in its first two seasons of action. Bearkats have earned All-America recognition three times and earned national All-Academic honors six times.
While 12 members of the BJI 100 Top Coaches list are from Texas, Hagen is the only college women's bowling coach from Texas so honored.
"Having one of our coaches honored by a national publication as one of the top 100 coaches at all levels in the profession is indeed a special honor for Sam Houston State," Bearkat director of athletics Bobby Williams said. "Our congratulations go to Brad on this outstanding achievement."

The problem is essentially that Lancaster County can approve new housing faster than the school system can raise money to build new schools.
The morning of Jan. 13, Lancaster County School District and county officials met to discuss how uncontrolled development, particularly in Indian Land, is harming the Lancaster County school system.
Reece Murphy wrote an excellent story in the Jan. 22 Carolina Gateway on the official version of what took place at that meeting. Essentially, the parties agreed to meet periodically and talk about the situation.
I read with interest William McGarry's column, "Investment Commission needs reform," about the S.C. Retirement System Commission in the Jan. 15 edition of The Lancaster News.
Unlike Mr. McGarry, I am a retired public employee and for the last eight years have carefully followed every major piece of legislation that has passed the General Assembly concerning the S.C. retirement system.
Hold on there, I ain't praising a troop of Yankee soldiers, but I gotta confess there is a bunch of seasoned troops who stand out in front of North Elementary School assisting young students entering and leaving vehicles.
At the school's entrance, they have an assembly line set up to get children out of or into their various forms of transportation.
Seems like during fair and warm weather we, designated drivers of school-aged children, sorta take those teachers for granted.
Kudos to the letter from Ralph and Bonnie Lawrance of Indian Land in The Lancaster News regarding South Carolina's refusal to join in the Medicaid Expansion Program.
This is indeed a humanitarian issue, as it was pointed out that South Carolina has ranked near the
I am confused. The Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare was promoted to help cover an estimated 30 million Americans without health insurance. Depending upon which source you accept, roughly 2.2 million people have signed up for health insurance.
If you add the 5 million people whose policies were canceled because of Obamacare, the total uninsured is 35 million – plus or minus the 2 million who have signed up.
Maybe I am not able to "cipher" as well as most, but it seems to me we have more uninsured now than before Obamacare went into effect.
On behalf of Lancaster County Partners for Youth board of directors, I would like to extend a huge thank you to the 45 businesses and organizations that sponsored our recent celebration honoring Founders Federal Credit Union and the founding board members of the Lancaster Medical Endowment.
We could not think of two more deserving groups of people to honor for their impact on youth and education in our community.
Many, many thanks from the Knights of Columbus Our Lady of Grace Council 14765 in Indian Land to the people and businesses of Indian Land and the surrounding areas, our council and its members and families. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued generosity and support in helping us to raise funds for people with intellectual disabilities.
We all need to help make sure our elderly don't fall for all the telephone scams. Scammers love to prey on the elderly. If an elderly person withdraws a large sum of money from his or her account, we need to find out why they are doing so.
Some of the older people are losing their entire retirement money because of these scams.
Do not give out your credit card information to these phone scammers. And if you receive any of these calls, get all the information you can from them and call the authorities.
I would like to respond to David Whiting's letter, "It's time to take back the South," in the Jan. 8 edition of The Lancaster News.
Mr. Whiting, while the first part of your letter reflects some of my sentiments: i.e, the Northern brethren's propensity to assume that since we talk slow, we must think slow, is a source of irritation to most Southerners.
Thank you so much to all of you who helped Gonzie's Miracle Bikes for Kids continue to provide bicycles to children during the Christmas season.
Some of you donated bikes, while others donated money to help refurbish the bikes.
All of you helped bring joy and happiness to the hearts of many children.
Last year, we were able to provide bicycles for 47 children in 26 families. This year, with your help, we have been able to provide bikes for 63 children and 33 families.
