By Basilian Father Chris Valka
One in a series
Over the past few weeks, I have been meditating on Scripture passages about strength — the limited nature of our own strength and infinite nature of God's strength. Passages such as Second Corinthians 12:9 have almost become a daily mantra, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
As an engineer, my father drilled the demand for excellence into me, reminding me that excellence requires constant vigilance. Over the years, those ideas have led me to a great many successes in life, but I have also had my fair share of failures.
As a priest, I have found my place on the ledge between success and failure to be a constant reminder of my own need for Christ's strength. I believe that mediocrity is the antithesis of the Gospel because it rarely requires God's action in our own lives.
This past week, my sophomores turned in the final papers on The Crucible. Knowing that I have high standards, I allow my students to e-mail their papers to me no later than two days prior to the due date for "grade-free comments." While it requires an enormous amount of work on my part, they learn more through the individual consultative process.
There a few students who struggle, but one in particular remained unresponsive to the curriculum. When I questioned him in the past, he tells me that he simply hates English and makes no attempt to do the work. After several discussions with his mother, I was happy to see him turn in an advanced copy of his paper. Not to my surprise, it needed a lot of work, and I commented accordingly.
His final draft was much improved and far different from his original, so I did a quick check online and found his entire paper had been plagiarized. This eventually led to a conversation with his mother, who told me that he had been working on the advanced copy for a whole night — more than she had ever seen him work on any one assignment before. When he received my comments, she said he just shut down. She never tried to dissuade me from punishment, but did want me to know that she thought his actions were an attempt at self-preservation.
When I spoke with the young man the following day, I was as hard on him as the situation required. As his eyes started with fill up, he explained to me that he really wanted to improve but felt as if it was impossible to meet my expectations.
I believed him and paused, realizing that his mother was correct.
As we spoke inappropriate and appropriate responses to such demands, I reminded him that our integrity is shaped from adversity. All of us find ourselves hampered by situations we do not like, but that is when we dig deep and find God's own strength to carry us when our own strength runs out.
The lack of effort earlier in the year requires that this young man now work doubly hard to close the gap, but he can so long as he remains focused on the process rather than the result. During this time when we remember the saints, I think we are reminded that we only become saints relying on God's strength one day at a time.

Howtoforge: Quality Linux Tutorials
When I met the Chairman of Corel in 1999 at the inaugural LinuxWorld in San Jose, I decided I wanted to change my consulting work and focus strictly on Linux. I recall Michael Cowpland's commitment to Linux before any other major software vendor came along. First, he chose to bring out WordPerfect 8 for Linux. That was the first commercial word processor for Linux distributed free.
Michael also committed to have Corel work on WINE and contributed back to the project. Corel also ported their WordPerect Office Suite and Corel Draw using WINE and made it available for Linux.
Michael then brought out Corel 1.0 Linux and put it into retail stores across North America. He had the clout to make Corel Linux the number one selling distribution by getting and paying for premium aisle space and putting out a remarkable package that retailers and customers liked.
During the Christmas selling season, Corel sold 400,000 units of the full-blown Corel 1.0 Linux. Now the product goes by the name of Xandros. It still has a Debian core and uses KDE for its desktop. Corel 1.0 was my first exposure to Debian and I loved it.
In fact, the first Insight Server used Corel 1.0 as its operating system. We found Exim to work well with our package. At the time Michael ran into Microsoft's machine, I had begun working with him to release a server pre-packaged with Corel.
As a side note, I felt like Michael got the same treatment as Peter Quinn. I just didn't recognize it at the time. Suddenly, Michael was investigated for security issues and his planned merger with Borland went astray. Out went Michael and in came Microsoft with $150 million to save the company. Next, Corel stopped its Linux work completely.
Regardless of the turmoil and the set backs, I thank Michael Cowpland for introducing me to Debian.
The Perfect Setup
I spent some time evaluating Xandros as a server for the late Rick Berenstein in the fall of 2003. Rick had wanted to bring out a groupware product to go along with the Xandros desktop. Rick wanted to do what Falko Timme has done with his tutorial.
An article on DebianHelp.org discussing Falko's tutorial, explains one of the issues with which we dealt six years ago. The author of the article, IntnsRed wrote:
A while ago I moved the debianHELP site to another server and was faced with the prospect of building the box from scratch. To me, handling Apache or MySQL is no problem, but I loath setting up virtual e-mail domains. Being of the lazy sort, I decided to examine free software hosting control panels and to install one on the box I was going to build.
debianHELP uses one of the products which Falko supports called ISPConfig a free software project hosted at sourcforge.net. Like the author of the debianHelp article, I consider it one of the best panels for system administrators and people just wanting to set up a web site.
While I like ISPConfig, I'm even more impressed with what the project maintainers have done. Howtoforge appears unrelated to the team that has taken 42go.com's control panel and contributed it to the community. Howtoforge also appears unrelated to the commercial venture. But they all fall under the umbrella of projektfarm GmbH.
Falko, who works on the ISPConfig project, gives his tutorials away. He gives his time away. He has written some remarkable tutorials such as The Perfect Setup series for Debian, Fedora, Mandriva, SUSE and Ubuntu just to name a few. I used his tutorials in that series to setup different boxes for testing. He has taken the hard work out of such things as setting up encryption, putting DNS in a chrooted environment, using MySQL as a backend for DNS, using CPAN to set up dependencies for things like SpamAssassin.
Howtoforge is a literal treasure trove. It has also gained significant momentum as additional authors have joined the ranks to contribute a host of quality tutorials on Apache, Samba, Xen, kernel hacking, DNS, Sendmail, MySQL, Postfix and so forth. The authors also have the kind of giving attitude one would expect from the "open" source community.
Encouraging you to poke around
I see several opportunities with the projektfarm GmbH team. One of the areas I enjoyed in my earliest days in Linux had to do with setting up servers for ISPs. Then, I discovered Cobalt and knew I was a couple of years away from having a product comparable to the Qube or RaQserver.
The ISPConfig team has released a mature product beyond anything Cobalt had. You can obtain ISPConfig for free. So, for anyone wanting to start a Linux business, here's a perfect opportunity. Install and support ISPs and work with the project to learn.
ISPConfig also provides an opportunity to set up and manage your own web site. Within a day, you can have a secure and stable server that you can take to a hosting facility and have up and running immediately. Read the debianHelp article to get a feel for this.
You can also use Falko's tutorials to set up a server to use internally on your network. You can have a stable server running to service almost any need you might have in a small to medium size business. You don't have to be a guru either.
So, I encourage you to poke around Howtoforge. What do I think of their materials? I see the best of class. I have studied their work thoroughly and have tested their products. I consider them the next "Up and Coming" open source opportunity.
In case you missed the earlier ones, don't fool around now. These guys are for real technically and they know how to behave themselves. Get in early.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
While the vast majority of Israelis will be remembering their nation's fallen - both soldiers and victims of terrorism - on Wednesday, a small group of radical left-wing activists will be holding an alternative Memorial Day ceremony that will also honor fallen "Palestinian combatants," many of them blood-soaked terrorists.
The "Combatants for Peace" Memorial Day ceremony has actually been taking place for seven years. At the yearly event, bereaved Israeli families come together with invited bereaved Palestinian families. The difference is that many of those Palestinian families are mourning loved ones who died while attacking Israeli civilians, including children.
For the past two years, a group of Israeli Jews have gathered at the ceremony to protest what they call the desecration of Israel's Memorial Day.
One protestor, Nissim Eliyahu, told Israel National News that he would have no problem with the format of the event if it were commemorating Arab soldiers who fell in legitimate battle against Israel. "Unfortunately, this is not the case," said Eliyahu, who noted that last year's ceremony included references to the Palestinian terrorist uprising that claimed the lives of hundreds of Israeli civilians, and to the "catastrophe" of the Jewish state's rebirth.
A spokesman for Combatants for Peace responded to the media criticism by insisting that "no one in Israel...has a monopoly on grief and pain."
Right or wrong, this alternative Memorial Day ceremony once again demonstrates, contrary to the claims of its antagonists, that Israel is a truly open and free society where even the most strident enemies of the Jewish state are given ear, and their deaths are grieved over.

Thank you!
Thank you for your massive contribution in initiating -- and completing! -- Help:Style. This is something I have wanted to tackle for years! Well done! -- pointone 14:23, 1 November 2011 (EDT)
- In Italian on these occasions we say literally "praised by Caesar" :) I'm proud and eager to be helping the community of this amazing project, and to be working with other enthusiastic people like you! ^^ -- Kynikos 16:02, 1 November 2011 (EDT)
Thanks for fixing the style on the Step By Step Debugging Guide page! --Trontonic 20:52, 6 January 2012 (EST)
- Thank you for contributing :) Actually it'd require more fixes, for example the expansion of contractions, see Help:Style for more information.
- By the way I've noticed that I put the article in the wrong category: it's somewhat fixed now, but if you're interested, in ArchWiki:Reports#System recovery category we're also talking about the possibility of merging Step By Step Debugging Guide with General Troubleshooting.
- -- Kynikos 07:29, 7 January 2012 (EST)
About Template:Filename => Template:ic
Thanks for your contribution and your bot :) But i think the original Template:Filename has its advantage too. Although both template have the same display style now, they actually have different meanings. Filename and codes is different. Now it's very easy to replace filename with ic, but if we want to have a different styles of filename one day, it's rather difficult to find whether it means code or filename. --Skydiver 23:52, 13 February 2012 (EST)
- Eheh you're quite late about this :) We discussed it a lot in Help talk:Style and Help talk:Style/Migration to new Code formatting templates (see their history). This is the direction where the wiki is headed, we can't cyclically call into question always the same things, otherwise there will never be any real improvement. Basically we just decided to keep it simple: Template:Filename wasn't used consistently anyway, and there were many cases of ambiguity, so now we're just distinguishing between inline and block code. -- Kynikos 07:29, 14 February 2012 (EST)
- Haha~ yeah, i'm late. I didn't notice your notice before and right after i post here I found your bot have done all replacement and Template:Filename has been deleted ... --Skydiver 10:23, 14 February 2012 (EST)
- BTW I see you're actually using Wiki Monkey yourself :D Honestly I didn't think somebody was using it except for me, so be advised that if you had installed version 1.6.1 or previous, it won't update automatically to 1.7.x because I've changed the path for configuration files (I won't break the update system anymore, I promise ^^ ). Also please report any bugs you find! -- Kynikos 09:12, 14 February 2012 (EST)
- Yep, I found your Wiki Monkey very useful ^_^. I am using 1.7.0 now and find it useful when doing replaces. I'm trying to make a plugin that can automatically find articles w/o i18n template and add i18n template to them, but i've no idea how to do till now.--Skydiver 10:23, 14 February 2012 (EST)
- Good to hear that you like it, thanks! I've just released 1.7.2 (just bug fixes), however if you don't enable automatic updates as described in Wiki Monkey#Updates you will have to update manually; unfortunately automatic updates are disabled by default by Scriptish's design, there's nothing I can do about that :)
- If you want to fix the header of articles (including the i18n template), simply in editor pages, just write a js function that has the source text and the title as input arguments and the modified source as the return value, and I'll think of Wiki-Monkey-zing it ;)

function fixHeader(title, source) { //your code here return modSource; }
- Note that you won't probably be able to just add i18n without also recognizing categories and other stuff that goes at the top of the article.
- About doing that on all articles automatically, it's easy to adapt it also for What Links Here pages, since launching the bot from there is already implemented, however you'd more likely need to launch the bot recursively over all the articles under a category and its sub-categories, and that functionality still needs to be implemented. Another way to do that job, which I'd like even more, would be to make Wiki Monkey semi-automatically process the recent changes, suggesting automatic fixes to every article that is edited and letting the user decide whether to apply them or not. A recent changes helper is also in the todo list, but will require some time to develop it.
- -- Kynikos 13:14, 14 February 2012 (EST)
Template:Cmd Thanks
Hey Kynikos thanks so much for getting me that template source! I spent many hours working on it and am really happy to have it back. Thank you. --AskApache 11:21, 27 February 2012 (EST)
- :) -- Kynikos 05:49, 28 February 2012 (EST)
html comments in page source
Thank you for constant improvement of articles sources! Most of comments in source code of Common Applications and sub-articles were left by me. These comments were initially added to be later turned into proper categories etc. but due to lack of time I often forget about it. Please consider reorganizing entries instead of just removing comments - it sometimes require a bit of work to determine for example which version of Quake engine is used in every game. --AlexanderR 05:38, 11 March 2012 (EDT)
- Html comments are strongly discouraged right because they tend to be forgotten :P
- The edits that removed potentially relevant comments are [1] and [2]: the only ways I can think of using those info are either creating subsections (=====PS1=====, =====PS2=====, =====Quake 1=====, ...) or adding those info in the descriptions of the appropriate app entries (I probably prefer the latter solution).
- -- Kynikos 07:54, 11 March 2012 (EDT)
Where should translations go?
Hi! I'm wondering where the Archwiki team wants new translations to go? On the page ArchWiki Translation Team I get the feeling that translations should be placed under archlinux.org. At the same time there are national wikis as well, at different stages of development. In my case this is archlinux.se, which only contains a few articles, and is generally lacking links to the main Wiki from what I can see. What is the policy on where to put translations?
- Hi and welcome! I'm glad to know that the Swedish website has come back to life :) Since MediaWiki is _not_ designed to handle internationalization (it requires resorting to workarounds like the suffix one we're using here) the ideal goal would be to move each language to its own separate wiki, for ease of maintenance. So, in your case, all Swedish articles should now be moved to wiki.archlinux.se and replaced with interwiki links on at least the English page, e.g.
[[sv:Huvudsida]]. -- Kynikos (talk) 15:23, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, I forgot to mention that if you want to add an interlanguage link to a protected English page, you can just ask on its talk page, and it will be added by one of us admins as soon as possible! -- Kynikos (talk) 15:28, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
On a secondary note - poorly developed regional wikis might work as a black hole for new users (turned off from arch due to lack of documentation) if they do not link to the main wiki for untranslated topics. Ideally they should cover the entire topic tree, and link to the anglish main wiki for untranslated articles. Granted, most potential new users that find a poor regional wiki probably continue searching and eventually find wiki.archlinux.org, but not necessarily all of them.
- That's why we must exploit as much as we can the native tool that MediaWiki offers for keeping the various local wikis linked with each other: interlanguage links (example above).
- Until the Swedish wiki lacks important articles, at least its Main Page if not also other important articles should instruct Swedish users to search for missing content on the English wiki.
- -- Kynikos (talk) 15:23, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
[moved to User talk:Airon90. -- Kynikos (talk) 10:20, 16 December 2012 (UTC)]
Move request
Hey Kynikos,
First of all, I'm sorry to ask this on your talk page. I'm not sure where to ask these kinds of requests and since you're the only mod I know, I'm posting this here. :)
We need help moving GRUB2 to GRUB (motivation: Talk:GRUB2#Move to GRUB), and since the latter already exists, I'm not sure how to do it myself.
Thanks! -- Lonaowna (talk) 20:49, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
- Hey Lonaowna, this was indeed a good place to ask, alternatively you could have used ArchWiki talk:Administrators. The article is renamed now, thanks for reporting. -- Kynikos (talk) 04:48, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
About arrows
Hey I'm flu, the one of the latest Libreoffice edits. First I'm sorry for have been a bit impolite :*) .
Here's few questions: if I have to make a list of operations like: menu one -> menu two -> button which arrow should I use? the -> or just > ?
In these cases the quotation
'' is the best one?
I've noticed tha many sections header are followed by a blank line, but there is no mention of that in Help:Style. Is there a correct choice?
Flu (talk) 08:57, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
- Ciao Flu, I think you're referring to what I wrote on Talk:LibreOffice: you haven't been impolite at all :) Note that if you started writing "reasons" in edit summaries instead of just "what" you've done, you'd become part of I guess the 2% of the wiki users that do it regularly... However that doesn't mean that the 98% of users are impolite ;)
- About your questions, as you've noticed we don't have any style rules yet on those topics: you can however start a discussion in Help talk:Style and propose a standardization. About lists of operations, for the moment just take inspiration from another existing article that you like; about blank lines following section headings, just do what you feel is tidier.
- -- Kynikos (talk) 17:26, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
Pcmanfm removed packages
I have started a discussion about them: Talk:PCManFM
Minor Installation Page Edit
Hi Kynikos,
First of all, I would like to thank you, the wiki maintainers and the contributors for building these docs !
May I suggest an edit to the Installation page. The 2nd point in the 'Download' section currently reads :
- Install images are signed and it is highly recommend to verify their signature before use. On Arch Linux, this can be done by using
pacman-key -v <iso-file>.sig
Could this be changed to something like :
- Install images are signed and it is highly recommend to verify their signature before use. On Arch Linux, this can be done by downloading the .sig file from the download page (or one of the mirrors listed there) to the same directory as your .iso file and then using
pacman-key -v <iso-file>.sig
I think this might make it a little easier for newcomers. -- Kal
- Hi Kal, thank you for reporting this, it's certainly a reasonable request and it's implemented now. However next time you can just simply use the talk page of the protected article you'd like to be modified, in this case it would have been Talk:Installation Guide :) -- Kynikos (talk) 15:42, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
Updating a read-only article
Hey, I noticed that Arch_Packaging_Standards#Directories still lists
/usr/sbin, so that needs to be updated per the
/usr/bin merger.
-- Jstjohn (talk) 21:15, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
I'm not speak of english. So, please add [[ru:Help:I18n]] --RemiZOffAlex (talk) 14:41, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, I don't speak Russian instead, so I can't translate that page: you can try to use http://translate.google.com/ -- Kynikos (talk) 14:46, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the offer, but still possible to create a link to the page, and only leave the translation for the Russian-speaking population of the planet.
- --RemiZOffAlex (talk) 14:53, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, it's our policy to not include interlanguage links to non-existing articles. Here is the link you want: ru:Help:i18n, you can create the page using http://translate.google.com/ and then some other Russian user will hopefully improve it. -- Kynikos (talk) 15:02, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

[moved to User talk:Ndt#Netcfg/Wireless networking/Wireless Setup, see Help:Discussion#User talk pages. -- Kynikos (talk) 15:37, 16 July 2013 (UTC)]
Quotation marks
Hi, I'm curious to know why you replaced the proper typographic curly quotes "" to typewriter quotes "" in this edit: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Systemd&diff=267151&oldid=267150 Stqn (talk) 16:37, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, there are several reasons:
- straight quotes are easier to type
- we're developing some style rules that also involve quotation marks, and we'd like to keep it simple: Help talk:Style/Formatting and Punctuation
- we base our style rules on Wikipedia's, in particular wikipedia:Wikipedia:MOSQUOTE#Quotation marks has more arguments if favour of typewriter quotes
- Of course if you think you have enough arguments in favour of curly quotes to beat the ones above, please open a discussion in Help talk:Style/Formatting and Punctuation :) -- Kynikos (talk) 04:23, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
Beginners guide / fdisk
Thank you for style fixes. I can't believe i wrote cfdisk instead of cgdisk.
As for the fdisk example section, i don't like the way it looks now.
What i tried to do was just show the exact program output, and superimposed over that the highlighted User input. I don't think it should be split into so many differnt boxes, since what happens is one interactive program session.
It may be better to not show all the programm output, and instead just include usage instructions similar to those given at end of Partitioning article.
I tried to follow style, but the styleguide says to use the Keypress Template for Keypresses. And those i can't use inside the Code templates. So i would have been violating a part of the Style guide anyway.
Well admittetly, maybe i like the previous version just better because i wrote it, hard to say. Will have to think about it some more.
- Don't worry, you're doing a good job :) It's just that this case is a bit weird and there's not an easy way of making it look good. Since you're representing cosole output, technically you should use code templates; however that is too much stuff, and it looks bad. Your version looked bad too because console output is not represented in normal font anywhere else (that's why we have a style guide) and it looked inconsistent (also due to all those <br>s).
- About Template:Keypress, of course you're not aware of Help_talk:Style/Migration_to_new_Code_formatting_templates#Template:Keypress and Help_talk:Style/Formatting_and_Punctuation#Keyboard_keys, which soon will deprecate it in favour of Template:ic; I've just applied the future rule before it goes in the style guide.
- The following is my proposal, what do you think?
Launch fdisk with:
# fdisk /dev/sda
Create the first partition:
Command (m for help):type
nand press
- Partition type:
Select (default p):press
Partition number (1-4, default 1):press
First sector (2048-209715199, default 2048):press
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G} (2048-209715199....., default 209715199):type
+15Gand press
Then create a second partition:
Command (m for help):type
nand press
- Partition type:
Select (default p):press
Partition number (1-4, default 2):press
First sector (31459328-209715199, default 31459328):press
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G} (31459328-209715199....., default 209715199):press
Now preview the new partition table:
Command (m for help):type
pand press
Disk /dev/sda: 107.4 GB, 107374182400 bytes, 209715200 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x5698d902 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 2048 31459327 15728640 83 Linux /dev/sda2 31459328 209715199 89127936 83 Linux
Then write the changes to disk:
Command (m for help):type
wand press
If everything went well you can quit fdisk:
Command (m for help):type
qand press
- Wow you are fast in doing this. I think that way it looks fantastic and will do splendidly.
- -edit: one thing: fdisk will actually automatically quit after the "w" command, so i'd say
- replace the last bit with: "If everything went well fdisk will now quit with the following message:"
The partition table has been altered! Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. Syncinc disks.

Text shift in discussion answers
I noticed that the discussion pages of the wiki, in order to indicate that the piece of text written actually answers a comment from a guy above, we are using colon to shift our answer. The problem appears on long discussions page (like the beginner guide, I'm coming from), when we answer to answers answering answers...
I think it would be better to use a @name statement: this indicates we are answering directly to the guy whose name is written. And this avoid left space waste (especially on mobile phones, I couldn't even read the whole thread on mine yesterday, because of the so long shift). -- Wget (talk) 13:10, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
- Well, about indentation we're just following Wikipedia's standards: Wikipedia:Help:Using_talk_pages#Indentation, Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Indentation.
- About long discussions, outdenting can be used, Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Indentation#Outdenting.
- I admit that the @ method wouldn't be such a silly idea, it would work with short discussions, but it wouldn't allow branching out long discussions. On wide screens the "left space waste" is negligible, and on my phones (Android) the browser correctly manages to fit long discussions to the screen width, I don't understand why your phone can't do that ^^

Invalid/undocumented template but it is working
Hi Kynikos! I've just noticed that, in some pages, some command statements aren't using the {{bc| YOUR COMMAND}} template, but the result is actually the same as if we have had used it.
:{{bc|$ /usr/bin/kgtk-wrapper gimp}} gives
$ /usr/bin/kgtk-wrapper gimp
$ /usr/bin/kgtk-wrapper gimp gives
$ /usr/bin/kgtk-wrapper gimp
Why is the result the same? Which one have I to choose?
- Hi Wget, those are two different ways to achieve the same HTML result on the page (i.e. enclosing the content in <pre> tags); both are mentioned in Help:Style#Code formatting templates, the first one is documented in Template:bc and the second one is documented in [[Help:Editing#Code] and Help:Cheatsheet; you can choose the one you prefer, usually using a space is better for single lines of code, while using bc is better for multiple lines. -- Kynikos (talk) 02:58, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
No upstream documentation: ooops.
Sorry about that Kynikos. Is there documentation on that? I was trying to search for something regarding manpage policy but I failed to find anything. Thanks, AdamT (Talk) 20:33, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

For many wildlife enthusiasts, there is nothing quite like seeing polar bears in their natural habitat, and Churchill, Canada—known as the "polar bear capital of the world"—is an ideal location to see them. Here mothers tend to cubs and young adult males play-fight as they wait for Hudson Bay to freeze over, signaling hunting season.

There are currently 22,000 to 31,000 polar bears remaining in the wild, and their survival is in jeopardy. Studies show that the polar bear population will decline by more than 30% over the next three polar bear generations – by about 2050. Climate change, which leads to the loss of Arctic sea ice, is the leading threat to polar bears, and WWF actively works to protect this flagship species.

Information About The CSET
In today's competitive world, there are examinations and certifications for almost every career that you would like to pursue. This is to ensure that only those who are capable, qualified and proficient in the required skills are the ones who actually take up that career. It is for this reason that prospective teachers who are keen to teach in California schools will have to take the California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET) as a requirement for teacher certifications and credentialing. The Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) has developed the tests with assistance from National Evaluation Systems, which is also responsible for the administration and scoring of the test. The program consists of a wide category of tests. There are various types of certification requirements for teaching in the state of California and you will have to take different sets of the tests depending upon the type of certification you have applied for.
The CSET Tests
The tests are broadly classified into the following categories:
Multiple Subjects
The test content for the three sub tests of this test is based on the various subject areas taught in California schools. Each subtest consists of both multiple-choice questions and constructed-response questions.
Preliminary Educational Technology
This test evaluates the skills that are necessary for working with computers in an educational setting. There are two sub tests in this test each of which consists of both multiple-choice questions and constructed-response questions.
Writing Skills
This test assesses the basic writing skills that are essential for performing well as a teacher. The test-taker is presented with two constructed-response questions in this test. The CSET: Writing Skills test can be taken only with the CSET: Multiple Subjects for meeting the basic skills requirement.
Single Subjects and CSET: LOTE
(Languages Other Than English)
The LOTE (used toward a Bilingual Authorization) consists of a subtest designed to assess your familiarity with the modalities of bilingual education. The test content for the other subtests is based on the skills and knowledge that are necessary for teaching English to English learners in their primary language. The remaining LOTE tests and each of the Single Subjects consist of two to four sub tests containing multiple-choice and constructed-response questions. The Single Subjects consist of sub tests designed to assess your knowledge in the related subject area and the skills necessary for teaching that particular subject in school.
Credentialing in California
There are different kinds of credentialing and certifications granted by the state of California. For instance, if you have earned a Single Subject Teaching Credential, then you will be authorized to teach the related subject in middle and secondary schools. If you have earned a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, then you will be certified to teach all subjects in elementary schools (grades K–6). An Education Specialist Instruction Credential will certify you to teach students in grades K–12 with the specific disability or impairment that has been noted on the document. The certification requirements are different for each type of certification. You will have to visit the following website, www.ctcexams.nesinc.com for detailed information on the tests that need to be taken for earning each type of certification. Here are the certification requirements that can be met by taking and passing the tests.
- Subject Matter Competence Requirement
- Basic Skills Requirement
- Multiple Subject Teaching Credential
- Single Subject Teaching Credential and Education Specialist Instruction Credential
- No Child Left Behind Compliance
- Educational Technology Requirement
- Bilingual Authorization
CSET Scoring
The sub tests of the tests are scored independently. The subtests are further divided into test sections depending upon the types of questions asked in the test section. You will earn raw scores for each test section depending upon how you have responded to the questions presented to you. Your total subtest score will depend upon the raw scores you have been awarded for each test section. A weight is assigned to each test section and your raw scores are converted to a scaled score. The scaled scores range from 100 to 300. You need to attain a scaled score of 220 in order to pass the test. You can pass the test taken by you subject to the following conditions:
- Your scores in test sections for the same subtest taken across different test administrations will not be considered while calculating your total subtest scores. Therefore, you can pass a subtest only on the basis of your scores in the test sections of the subtest taken in the same test administration.
- Your passing standards for a particular section can be met only if you have individually passed each of its constituent sub tests. You are free to take the sub tests of the same test independently in different test administrations and your performance in the sub tests taken on different test dates will contribute towards the passing requirements for the overall examination.
- If you have passed a particular subtest, then your passing scores will remain valid for 5 years only. In other words, you will have to meet the other requirements for earning the certification you have applied for, like passing the other requisite tests or sub tests within five years or else you will have to retake the sub tests that you have already passed. Apart from this reason, you will not have to retake a subtest once you have passed it. You will need to retake only those sub tests of the tests in which you have failed.
You must make it a point to educate yourself about the requirements of earning the certification you have applied for. There are certain facts regarding the conduct of exam that can be found only if you go through the website carefully. One such piece of information is that if you have taken the CSET: Multiple Subjects to satisfy the subject matter requirement, then your passing scores in the sub tests of CSET: Multiple Subjects are valid for five years only; whereas if you are taking the CSET: Multiple Subjects for satisfying the basic skills requirement, then your passing scores on CSET: Multiple Subjects and also those on CSET: Writing Skills will not expire.
CSET Registration
You can register for the test in two ways depending upon the registration period in which you are registering for. There are three registration periods for each test date: regular, late, and emergency.
- Internet: All registration periods
- Telephone: Late and emergency registration periods
The payment for the registration fees can be made by credit, debit, or check card (VISA or MasterCard only). You will be able to choose the subjects you need to take, the test date and the test area while registering for the test. You also have the option of selecting the educational institutions to which you would like your scores to be sent.
Preparing for the CSET
Your preparation for taking this examination has to be a well planned affair. You cannot hope to walk into the test center and pass the assessment after reviewing the test content for a week or so before the test date. Your preparation not only involves a review of the test content, but also requires familiarity with the types of questions that will be presented to you. Remember that passing the test is one of the final hurdles on your way to becoming a certified teacher in the state of California. You cannot afford to jeopardize your future career prospects due to lack of will power and concentration for studies.
Understand the test content and the types of questions that will be asked. Get good quality study materials. Some useful preparation information is available at the official website also. Review the test content. Spend time in solving sample questions. This, in a nutshell, is all that is required to pass the test in the first attempt itself!

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2006 Media Releases
The Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department will soon begin work to preserve saline wetlands and adjacent habitats at Frank Shoemaker Marsh, a 160-acre area north of Interstate 80 along 27th Street. In the next few weeks, scrub trees will be removed in a selected area to enhance wetland and prairie habitat. The marsh, which contains more than 50 acres of saline wetlands, is owned and managed by the City of Lincoln. The public recreation area provides habitat for a variety of wildlife and plant species.
"Frank Shoemaker Marsh provides a diversity of habitat including eastern saline wetlands, deciduous woodland and prairie," said Terry Genrich, Natural Resources Manager for Parks and Recreation. "The conceptual design for wetland restoration at the marsh does include selective tree removal to enhance wetland and prairie habitat. We do understand the public concerns about tree removal, but removal of woody vegetation in certain areas of the site will enhance other natural areas." Genrich said precautions will be taken to minimize the effect of restoration activities on wildlife habitat.
Future restoration projects in the marsh will enhance and restore degraded wetland systems and prevent further stream degradation while maintaining and developing habitat for endangered species. Management of upland prairie and deciduous woodlands will complement the restored wetland systems.
For more information on Frank Shoemaker Marsh, see the City Web site at lincoln.ne.gov (go to Parks, Natural Resources and Greenways and click on Saline Wetlands Conservation); call 441-7847; or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Post subject: More Clawing Catfights from Cavalier
This letter is in response to the letter from Jill and her boyfriend which appeared in the December 89 issue of Cavalier. My name is Kaye, and as a result of my boyfriend's intense interest in catfights, I have gained a great deal of experience and knowledge about the subject. My boyfriend asked me to write this letter because he loves reading your "Fight Time" letters and feels I have a lot to share with your readers.
I first want to say that I am black, sexy, and beautiful and love rough, lustful cat-wrestling with other women. I am thirty-two-years-old, 5'3': 108 pounds, have firm, big-nippled breasts and a round firm ass. I love turning on men and women by showing off my shapely body, especially in a cat-wrestling fight with another bitch who thinks she is sexier than me.
As for Jill and her boyfriend's contention that your letters leave out a key element in catfights, that is, the use of nails, I basically agree. As a woman who has been in at least four real catfights, I can personally attest that the main weapons used in a catfight are fingernails, hands and teeth. Once, I even used my toenails to tear another woman's stockings and scratch her thighs.
A catfight, as I understand it, is a fight between two females wherein they fight like cats. They don't wear boxing gloves, nor do they throw punches like men. It appears from many of your letters that Cavalier, and many of its readers, consider catfighting to include boxing, wrestling and fights between men and women. Catfighting is between females, down and dirty, with no holds barred. When women fight for real, it's always vicious, with face scratching, biting and hair pulling.
For your information, most women brag about the scars they have inflicted on their opponents. In most fights, that's how the winner is determined, since most catfights are broken up before they reach a definitive conclusion. When a woman scratches another woman in a catfight, she is leaving her marks for all the world to see. She is also letting other women know what could happen to them if they tangle with her. Although I don't have any marks from being bitten, I have a scratch mark on my face, and several claw marks on my breasts, back and, most recently, my ass. My boyfriend thinks my scratch marks are very sexy, and are evidence of my raw womanhood.
I disagree, however, with Jill about the effectiveness of long nails. My experience has been that the longer the nails are, the more they tend to break. On the other hand, shorter nails can do just as much, if not more, damage and don't tend to break in the heat of battle. Be careful, Jill, when you fight your boyfriend's secretary. Make sure your nails can do actual damage, and not just look like they can. Go for her face as soon as you can, and bite her nipples if you get the chance.
Since Jill has never been in a catfight, she may want to first try cat-wrestling. In cat-wrestling, there is no punching, biting or face scratching. Otherwise, anything else goes, including hair pulling, breast clawing and so forth. I have been in several vicious cat-wrestling matches, and really enjoy the opportunity to have a physical struggle with another woman. In one match with a white woman from Georgia, in which we fought in panties and stockings in front of our boyfriends, I ended up begging to have her release my breasts and ass from her nails. She was one tough bitch and although I would not want to really catfight her, I am looking forward to getting even in another cat-wrestling match. I plan to make her engage me in a tongue fight, and then use my toenails to claw her legs.
Best of luck, Jill! Write to Cavalier with the account of your fight. My boyfriend and I are really interested in reading about what happened.
A Real Catfighter, Boston

With Friends Like Mandometer, Who Needs Enemies?
At first glance I thought this device was intended to scold overeaters, but it looks like its real mission is helping people with eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. Still, I can't help but imagine setting a plate of chicken fried steak down and hearing, "Oh no you didn't!"

- basia said...
Waitaminnit - does that mean normal plates don't yell at you for having chicken fried steak? uh oh....
- January 16, 2010 at 1:28 PM
that is the dumbest thing i've ever seen. its a joke, right?
- January 16, 2010 at 1:32 PM
- Chef John said...
no, it's a real product
- January 16, 2010 at 1:34 PM
It's not something you can just buy, and is one means of helping individuals with eating disorders. These individuals have lost touch with the normal signals that most of us reading foodwishes take for granted.
[end soapbox]
"Oh no you didn't" ROTFL. I will be enjoying your chicken fried steak this evening, no biofeedback devices will be harmed in the eating of the meal.

All that nonsense and then finally it says "you're eating too slow". LOL :D
- January 16, 2010 at 3:47 PM
Kinda makes me mad that they have an insanely skinny girl in the ad, if it is truly designed to help recovering bulimics and anorexics... that's the male gaze for you though.
- January 16, 2010 at 5:07 PM
- Lucia said...
TBH kinda sad. If they actually showed an overweight person chowing down like crazy then fair enough, but a thinstick girl eating two bites...
- January 16, 2010 at 7:52 PM
- T.R. said...
I think it could be used to help people who are severely obese as well. Even though society doesn't feel sympathy for those people they too have lost touch with "normal eating" sensations and relations to food.
I think if it helps people don't knock it. It may not be for all patients but for those it works for I say good for them.
- January 16, 2010 at 8:34 PM
i took it a step further and went to the web site about the lovely mandometer. It's defently geared more for anorexic or bulimic patients. U got more points if bmi was 18.1 or lower a very unhealthy bmi to have as an adult.
I as a overweight person got a 9 and still could possible use this device but 9 was the minimal score to be be considered needing the device.
As for the comments about slow eating its true anorexic or bulimic patients will eat slower. its one of there lil tricks they use. So yes they have to be told to eat faster.

- Summer said...
Chef John, I have to be honest with you, all these recent product placements on your website are becoming worse and worse(the chicken fingers video was extremely cringe worthy). They're slowly taking the joy out of visiting you blog.
I hope you decide to go easier on them in the future.
- January 17, 2010 at 4:35 PM
- Chef John said...
First of all, this is NOT a product placement. Just something that gave me a chuckle.
Secondly, if it wasn't for the occasional paid sponsorship this blog wouldn't exist. Do you work for free?
Thirdly, if you don't enjoy coming here anymore, don't.
- January 17, 2010 at 4:41 PM
It never ceases to amaze me how clueless some people are.
Hey Summer, I'm sure Chef J would love to hear how you'd run a FREE video recipe blog without any sponsors or ads. Please tell us!
- January 17, 2010 at 5:35 PM
I wonder what that machine would say about that German canned hamburger! You find some crazy stuff! I love this Blog!
- January 17, 2010 at 6:49 PM
Soon enough we'll all have something similar, mandated by the government of course:
Citizen, it's 6AM, time to get up.
Go brush your teeth
Shouldn't you be walking your dog by now, we wouldn't want to confiscate Rover from you
Citizen, it's that time again, pay your bills
Citizen, do not pay so much on your bills that you can't pay your taxes
- January 22, 2010 at 2:09 PM

this just cracked me up. for one thing, i'm a slow eater by nature - yet, a foodie. one reason why i visit and love this blog. that machine will have a field day on me, if i get one. ahahaha!

Bleeding disorders
Bleeding disorders are a group of conditions in which there is a problem with the body's blood clotting process. These disorders can lead to heavy and prolonged bleeding after an injury. Bleeding can also begin on its own.
Related problems include:
- Acquired platelet function defects
- Congenital platelet function defects
- Congenital protein C or S deficiency
- Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
- Factor II deficiency
- Factor V deficiency
- Factor VII deficiency
- Factor X deficiency
- Factor XII deficiency
- Hemophilia A
- Hemophilia B
- Hemophilia C (Factor XI deficiency)
- Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
- Von Willebrand's disease (types I, II, and III)
Causes of Bleeding disorders
Normal blood clotting involves as many as 20 different plasma proteins. These are known as blood clotting or coagulation factors. These factors interact with other chemicals to form a substance called fibrin that stops bleeding.
Problems can occur when certain coagulation factors are low or missing. Bleeding problems can range from mild to severe.
Some bleeding disorders are present at birth and are passed through families (inherited). Others develop from:
- Illnesses such as vitamin K deficiency or severe liver disease
- Treatments such as the use of drugs to stop blood clots (anticoagulants) or the long-term use of antibiotics
Bleeding disorders can also result from a problem with the number or function of the blood cells that promote blood clotting (platelets). These disorders can also be either inherited or develop later (acquired). The side effects of certain drugs often lead to the acquired forms.
Bleeding disorders Symptoms
- · Bleeding into joints
- · Excessive bruising
- · Heavy bleeding
- · Heavy menstrual bleeding
- · Nosebleeds
- · Excess bleeding with surgical procedures
The type of problems that occur depend on the specific bleeding disorder, and how severe it is.
Tests and Exams
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Bleeding time
- Partial thromboplastin time (PTT)
- Platelet aggregation test
- Prothrombin time (PT)
Treatment of Bleeding disorders
Treatment depends on the type of disorder. It may include:
- Factor replacement
- Fresh frozen plasma transfusion
- Platelet transfusion
- Other therapies
Prognosis (Outlook)
The outcome also depends on the disorder. Most primary bleeding disorders can be managed. When the disorders is due to diseases, such as DIC, the outcome will depend on how well the underlying disease can be treated.
Potential Complications
- Bleeding in the brain
- Severe bleeding (usually from the gastrointestinal tract or injuries)
Other complications can occur, depending on the disorder.
When to Contact a Health Professional
Call your health care provider if you notice any unusual or severe bleeding.
Prevention of Bleeding disorders
Prevention depends on the specific disorder.

I am quite new to the VDR but I have tried about a year to get it running. I want to have a streaming server and some streaming clients: The server is equipped with
- 2x NovaS Hauppauge
- simple graphic card
- simple 100MBit NW card (will upgrade that if testsystem runs)
- 3Ghz PIV
- 256MB Ram
The (testing) client:
- Debian linux
- 1x NexusS Hauppauge FFCard
==> a connected HIFI and TV on it
- 1x integrated video
- 1x integrated 100MBit NW card
- 1.3Ghz Athlon
- 256MB Ram
I have installed the latest CT VDR 5.0 (11/2006) from the software collection #2 on client and server.
Configuration on Client [Streamdev-Client-Plugin (0.3.3-pre-geni)] under debian:
- Client starten: ja
- IP der Gegenseite: 192.168.0.103
- Port der Gegenseite: 2004
- Filter Streaming: nein
- EPG synchronisieren: nein
Server config for the streamdev-server-plugin seems to be correct as I can see TV from different Windows(!) workstations with the VDRMediaClient without any(!) problems.
So the question is how to get my testing-client running. It shows always a black screen. I tested previously two installation orders:
1st: Installing CT VDR with all hardware equipped
==> this gave me always "Kanal nicht verfügbar" and it switches to channel #23 but there was also nothing to display ... so what ?! I tried to switch the DVB device (I have the option to choose between two in the OSD: the DVB-S card and the streamdev-client). But no positive result. The DVB-S card seems to run; if I connect the satelite cable to it the TV is shown. So how to do input by streamdev-client and output by the DVB-S card on TV ??? I assumed an installation order problem ...
2nd: Installing CT VDR new (including repartitioning) without NexusS Hauppauge card.
After activation of the "streaming-client-plugin" (via OSD, incl. config of the few parameters) I shut down the system. Then I installed the NexusS card again.
But ... after reboot the system shows me now on every channel a black TV-screen.
So what happened here ? I am experienced in networks but not in linux.
Please NO suggestions about using XINE or MPlayer or others. I want (if possible) just running THIS system. But what I am doing wrong here ?
I am thankful for ANY real help !!!
P.S.: Forgot to say that I have added the Test-Clients IP to the streamdev-server config
Sorry, can't help you.
But it would be better to post your problem in the vdr-portal. It is german, but english is also welcome (e.g. there is an international section).

Madsonic version: MADSONIC 6.3.9560.8df1ddd.20170712.0605
Sonos Version: Latest (7.4 (version 37244160)) for the SONOS connetc.
I have had Madsonic up and running on my sonos, but now it wont work.
When i choose the Madsonic service in sonos, it seaches for a while and then displays "could not browse music" or something like that, it is in danish.
I have tried removing the service and installing it again. (android app)
I can chose the Madsonic service in list of services, and the name of this changes if i change the name, so i'm guessing that it is found corectly.
I can then enter the credintials and it works a while before telling me. There was a problem adding the service, and could not connect to server.
On the windows 10, i can add the service again. But i'm back to "could not browse music" message.
I'm thinking that this happened with an update of either Madsonic or sonos.
Any sugestions?

Great talk on the Top 10 Mistakes DBA's make! I got a lot out of the discussion about customizing the installation for OLTP vs OLAP. Also, the change management tips for mission critical databases was a great reminder of how to be a good data guardian as a DBA.

The headlines of Americans caught up in foreign legal systems have become so repetitive they begin to blur:
• Ling and Lee face "hell on Earth" in North Korean camps
• Freed US hikers describe Iranian prison as "world of lies and false hope"
• Amanda Knox heads for home after acquittal
As supporters celebrate the overturned murder conviction of Amanda Knox – and she flies Tuesday from Italy to London to Seattle – legal observers hear the echo of recent cases: the two US journalists imprisoned in North Korea (and released after the intervention of former President Bill Clinton), and the two American hikers who were freed just two weeks ago after spending 781 days in an Iranian prison on spying charges.
Has America learned anything from these episodes?
More precisely, what can and should American parents do when their children get embroiled in a foreign legal system?
Interviews with international lawyers, academics, and communications specialists are creating a primer of action:
• Get the best possible local lawyers
• Contact the local US embassy and the State Department in Washington
• Create as much attention as possible, either by local newspapers and TV or social media from Facebook to Twitter
• Act quickly
You should be informed about the culture of the countries your loved ones are visiting ahead of time, and be aware of their possible political axes to grind with the US government. Also, be acutely aware that the laws of other countries are not the same as in the US.
"The Amanda Knox case, as well as a number of other high profile cases, such as the Iranian hikers recently released, should remind all Americans that the laws of different countries differ from those in the United States," says Kevin Johnson, Dean of the law school at the University of California, Davis, in an email.
"The rights of the accused, the power of the state and law enforcement, and the conduct of trials and appeals, differ dramatically among nations. It should be obvious, but US citizens should be extremely careful to stay out of trouble when visiting other countries," he says.
"With respect to parents, the cases of Amanda Knox and the Iranian hikers, like the story of the young man jailed for drug smuggling in the 1978 film 'Midnight Express,' is nothing less than a nightmare. A parent has limited ability to affect the legal system in another country and must work through diplomatic channels, namely through the Department of State. The process can be slow-moving (as in the Knox case), frustrating, and painful."
Paul Hoffman, an international human rights lawyer based in Santa Monica agrees, but cautions against being over alarmed.
"There are tens of thousands of young adults who go to countries everywhere and have absolutely no problems. I certainly wouldn't deprive my own kids of the experience of traveling to these places based on fear," says Hoffman.
Public relations specialists and communications academics say that handling media is crucial from the beginning.
"Creating a consistent, believable narrative is very important, and even more important is to understand the possible motives of the host country in not losing face before their own people and in the international community," says Maurice Hall, chair of the communications department at Villanova University.
He says the parents of Amanda Knox were very skillful in understanding multiple audiences, he says, including the parents of the murder victim and the Italian authorities, who are judged by their own population.
In the cases of journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee and hikers Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, both the North Korean and Iranian governments were marginalized and were trying to score points against the US, Professor Hall says.
"Understanding what messages these countries might want to be sending to the US or the international community was very important in understanding the undercurrents behind what was going on publicly," he says.
In the case of Ling and Lee, their public contrition helped make it easier for Korean leader Kim Jong Il to free them and appear merciful in the eyes of others, he says. Likewise, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's confiding in NBC journalist Ann Curry that he was about to grant clemency "as an act of mercy" showed his need to appear kind, forgiving and generous, outside the formal channels of diplomacy.
Hall's advice: seek out country and culture specialists from local universities or schools. "You do need people who understand these cultures to really understand what is behind what is happening," he says. "This can be very difficult at the height of a crisis."
Most agree that there are probably hundreds of cases that never reach the attention of the greater public because parents and friends didn't know how to engage journalists.
Derede McAlpin, Vice President of Levick Strategic Communications, an international consulting firm, says all parents should keep in mind that most news outlets don't have the resources to cover every case presented to them. What kept the Knox case alive, she and others say, was that a support group formed which created email and letter-writing campaigns as well as raised money to help pay for the defense.
Understanding foreign media is also important. The Italian tabloid press had a field day sensationalizing every detail of the Knox trial. "In this case, the facts leading to the Amanda Knox conviction … increased the likelihood of media interest," says McAlpin.
"She was also an attractive all-American student that fell victim to unreliable DNA evidence making its way into her trial," she says. "The issue of unreliable evidence entering a case is not uncommon – it happens in the US all of the time."
The Amanda Knox case is an exception, she says.
"Most defendants don't get a do-over when faced with a conviction whether the evidence in the case is reliable or not. It's best to make sure your children are aware that the US Constitution is not relevant when you leave the US. Know your rights before going abroad."

Kingston SSDNow V Series (2nd Gen) 128GB SSD Review - JMicron JMF618 Makes an Appearance!
Introduction and Packaging
Kingston's 'V Series' of SSD's has gone through a few iterations over the past year. It started out with 64 and 128 GB JMicron 602B drives. After some time, a 40GB model was added, this time with a stripped down version of the Intel G2 controller. That model was shortly discontinued along with the rest of the line. All have been superseded by a new series carrying the same name. These new drives contain controller design which is a hybrid effort by JMicron and Toshiba. We'd been anxiously waiting for new JMicron silicon to materialize and today that wait finally over.
The JMF618 did not appear on JMicrons product roadmap as of a few months ago.
JMicron split off of their planned roadmap to work with Toshiba on a controller. While the logic is JMicron, Toshiba is currently making the 618 controller dies.
As with the prior generation of the SSDNow V Series, each capacity comes as a standalone unit or as one of two package deals. The first is meant for desktop use and includes a 2.5" to 3.5" bracket and some other accessories to make the swap easier (we reviewed the desktop package in our SSDNow V Series 40GB review). This time around we asked for the notebook variant of their kit so we could round out our evaluation. This kit includes a few more goodies:
The mobile upgrade kit includes imaging software and an enclosure for use during that imaging process.
After imaging, the same enclosure can then be used to turn your old HDD into a backup / portable drive.
The external enclosure is nice and compact. I suspect some desktop users might pass on the desktop brackets and go for the notebook kit - if only just for the convenience of a portable USB solution for any spare 2.5" drives they might have lying about.

Commuter rail locomotives plagued by gear failure
The more progress they make, the further they fall behind.Pesaturo said Keolis crews "are making progress every day." The operation began with five more locomotives on Friday morning than on Thursday morning, he said. The company was still five locomotives short of the 67 locomotives required by its contract, however.
You can tell the Globe put their most technical writer on this story.Officials said on Monday that only 27 of 40 of the MBTA's newest locomotives were in service, partly because of problems with an engine part that must now be replaced on all of the newest locomotives.

Dr. Kenneth Lowell Kershbaum, 70, formerly of Chestnut Hill, a nationally recognized cardiologist, died March 19 of lymphoma at his home in Center City Philadelphia.
Dr. Kershbaum practiced internal medicine and cardiology at Pennsylvania Hospital for more than 40 years. He served twice on the hospital's executive committee and for more than 20 years on its Cardiology Foundation.
He also had been an associate professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania for nearly four decades and in 1986 won the prestigious Viner Teaching Award. He had many peer-reviewed articles published in leading medical publications, including the American Heart Journal and Circulation.
He was known for refusing to "watch the clock" while examining patients, whom he served with devotion, compassion, meticulous attention to detail and problem-solving acumen.
Raised in Chestnut Hill, Dr. Kershbaum lived in the community with his wife, the former Susan Sions, for 30 years before moving to Center City in 2008. He attended the Miquon School and graduated from the William Penn Charter School. He received a bachelor's degree from Cornell University and his medical degree from Thomas Jefferson Medical College.
As a young person, he was a nationally ranked tennis player and participated in the Boys U.S. National Tennis Championships in 1958. The next year, at age 17, he became the youngest men's tennis champion in the history of the Philmont Country Club.
He was a member of both the tennis and squash teams at Cornell University and was still playing tennis and teaching his grandchildren the game up until the final months of his life.
Dr. Kershbaum also served on the board of Springside School for six years.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by daughters Kathy Evans, of Atlanta, and Sharon Kershbaum, of Washington, D.C; his mother, Judith Kershbaum Jacobs; sisters Marjorie Shiekman and Susan Stevens, and four grandchildren. Dr. Kershbaum's father, the late Dr. Alfred Kershbaum, also was a cardiologist.

JERUSALEM — Bulgarian investigators said Tuesday that the Lebanese group Hezbollah was responsible for a July bus bombing that killed five Israeli tourists and their Bulgarian bus driver in the Black Sea resort of Burgas, as Israel had asserted.
The announcement was certain to heighten pressure on the European Union to join Israel and the United States in labeling Hezbollah a terrorist group, allowing law enforcement agents in Europe to seize assets, restrict travel and arrest members.
Bulgarian officials said two of the three suspects in the attack entered the country with Canadian and Australian passports.
"We have well-grounded reasons to suggest that the two were members of the militant wing of Hezbollah," Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov told reporters. "We expect the government of Lebanon to assist in the further investigation."
Tsvetanov said evidence showed that the men received funding and instructions from Hezbollah. One of the attackers died in the bombing.

Thermometers and Gauges
"…A lot of new bikes have thermometers on them, and I like watching them as much as I like watching the miles tick by on the odometer. At 40 degrees the chill on exposed skin is almost unbearable, but go up just 11 degrees and it's okay. You can watch as the number climb into the 70's…just right. And then they keep going up, so fast they almost blur, as you roll into the arid Valley, til it's 98 degrees and you can feel your skin burning and moisture streaming out from under your jacket. Then back up the mountain and the numbers sink until you're back to shivering. We feel every inch of the journey with our oldest, most basic sense.
As riders we know how narrow that band is between comfort and misery, as marginal as the zone between terror and elation and we love to ride it. Someday soon, nanotechnology will give us affordable, comfort controlled riding suits that let you select a comfortable temperature with just a turn of a dial. I have a feeling we'll buy them, but sometimes we'll leave them unplugged. Most of the time."

Thank you "Cyndin" . In a comment to "Great-Grandma's Cherry Pie" she correctly points out that lists are not protected by copyright.
The US Copyright Website states "Copyright law does not protect recipes that are mere listings of ingredients. Nor does it protect other mere listings of ingredients such as those found in formulas, compounds, or prescriptions. Copyright protection may, however, extend to substantial literary expression—a description, explanation, or illustration, for example—that accompanies a recipe or formula or to a combination of recipes, as in a cookbook."
Only original works of authorship are protected by copyright. "Original" means that an author produced a work by his or her own intellectual effort instead of copying it from an existing work.
So, we come to the question, what makes a recipe subject to copyright? The definition above gives the answer. Most recipes have directions, descriptions of how to use that list of ingredients, explanations of the process, pictures of the final result, and the best ones give a little bit of the history of the recipe as well. So the mere ingredients of the Cherry Pie would not be subject to copyright but the written description of the process to create it might be. The more creative the telling of the recipe, such as my Mother's Spamburgers (complete with my sister's fantastic art work) the more likelihood copyright applies.
The Copyright Office goes on to state that if you want to keep a recipe secret you probably shouldn't publish it or file a copy with the Copyright Office.
So…….in a sense recipes are like genealogies. Our basic family group sheet is just a list of facts. Births, marriages, deaths, census listings, military service, no matter which fact it is not subject to copyright law. What makes a genealogy subject to copyright? The descriptions, the explanations, the process of combining facts to make a whole, the thought process used to compile the families.
How often have you heard, "I shared my genealogy and they put it online?" While there might be some ethical problems with this, it is usually not a copyright issue. Unless they use "your stories" and include your thought process in making connections they are only posting facts. Like the recipes, if you want to keep it secret you might not want to share.
Be creative. Turn your genealogy into a wonderful story and you will have copyright protection for your work.
But here's one last thought….a shared recipe resulted in a better Cherry Pie. A shared genealogy might well do the same. You might find new collateral family and they may lead you back to earlier generations, or even better those new found relatives might have stories that they are willing to share with you.

** (out of 4)
(Fat Possum Records)
If the sophomore effort from the husband-wife team Tennis were an activity, it would be something along the lines of buying a new pair of socks or browsing through an antique store--a fine way to pass the time, but not something to get your heart racing.
The Denver band wrote its full-length debut "Cape Dory" during a 7-month sailing voyage. While they're probably the envy of every hipster on the block (seriously, how anti-mainstream is a sailboat?), on "Young and Old" the duo avoids any awareness of life outside their loving little bubble.
That's not to say the band isn't taking a stab at tough times. It's just that any intended anguish isn't palpable. "Paradise is all around/But happiness is never found," Alaina Moore sings on "High Road," but her voice is all meadows and fuzzy bunnies.
"Young and Old" is best when Moore and Patrick Riley let you know how much they're enjoying jamming with Black Keys drummer/the album's producer Patrick Carney. Jazzy piano, drumming and maracas dress up songs like "My Better Self," though it still manages to sound sleepy when carried by Moore's Florence-Welch-on-Xanax voice.
At least Moore and Riley, who met in college while studying philosophy, are putting their philosophical knowledge to good use when it comes to their marriage. "This must be rare/'cause nothing else could compare/not that I'm aware of," Moore croons on "Traveling." Try finding that on a romantic e-card.

Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne left Sunday night's win over the Giants briefly after injuring his left shoulder, but was able to return to finish out the game with his teammates.
Claiborne was able to go back into the game because one of the team's physicians was able to put his dislocated shoulder back into place on the sideline as play went on without Claiborne. Claiborne said after the game that the injury was something he was just going to have to deal with as the season progressed.
David Moore of the Dallas Morning News reports that one of the ways he'll be dealing with it will be by wearing a harness on the injured shoulder in the upcoming weeks. The harness is meant to limit the risk of injury recurring, but there's also going to be some limitation in his range of movement as a result. That could limit Claiborne's effectiveness as well, although the risk of that is worth cutting down the risk of repeated dislocations.
Claiborne has dealt with a variety of injuries since joining the Cowboys in 2012, but only missed one game last season. As of now, he's expected to be in the lineup against Kansas City.

Selectors should speak to Sachin about his future plans: Gavaskar
Fresh questions are bring raised on Sachin Tendulkar's retirement, with the legendary Sunil Gavaskar saying the selectors should have a word with him about his future plans.
"Tendulkar has been playing for so long and he has been so consistent. This little period of lack of runs or lack of half centuries will give the critics chance to ask questions," Gavaskar said.
"At the end of the day, it is the selectors who will take the call. I think the selectors will probably have a word with Tendulkar about what his future plans are and then take a call," he said.
"Ideally, whatever decision is taken about Tendulkar's retirement, I believe he will make his own decision," Gavaskar told NDTV.
Tendulkar has scored just 29 runs in three innings in the ongoing Test series against England, and Gavaskar said the senior batsman has been having a "long bad patch" though he is trying hard to come out of this.

'He is struggling and is having a long bad patch'
"Yes, he is struggling and he is having a long bad patch, if one can call that way. With so may runs and so many centuries at his hands, the moment he is through a lean patch, everybody will start talking about that, but I feel he will overcome this."
"He is trying hard. In the first innings (of the ongoing second Test in Mumbai), the ball (from Monty Panesar) turned just a little bit. Today, (in the England second innings) you could see he changed his guard. He was standing ahead of the crease between the middle and off to negotiate the turn better. But, unfortunately, he was out to a straighter ball," Gavaskar said.
"But we saw he was applying his mind. He is not taking that he will just go out in the middle and play. He is trying hard to overcome this and that is the best part," said the former captain.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2006 Media Releases
During the next week, local high temperatures are predicted to again climb to around 100 degrees with little rainfall predicted. Rainfall for 2006 is five inches below normal. The City of Lincoln 'strongly encourages' business and residential water customers to follow the City's voluntary outdoor watering restrictions to conserve water.
Property owners with street addresses ending in even numbers (including zero) are asked to limit outdoor water use to Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Those with addresses ending in odd numbers are asked to limit outdoor watering to Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Mondays are 'no watering' days. Watering your yard completely once weekly generally is adequate.
"Since flows in the Platte River are mirroring the same levels as in 2002, the year we implemented 'Mandatory Designated Day' Watering Restrictions, it is very important that we do all we can to conserve water," said Mayor Seng. "Following the designated day schedule for outdoor watering and car-washing will make the biggest difference." Random observations, in the various neighborhoods, indicate a lot of customers are observing the 'designated day watering', however all customers need to implement the watering schedule, to hopefully avoid 'mandatory restrictions.' 2002 was the last time that the City had mandatory restrictions on outdoor water use.
Jerry Obrist, Chief Engineer for the Lincoln Water System (LWS), said water usage has topped 76 million gallons some days this year. LWS estimates that current river flows can sustain a usage rate average of about 70 million gallons per day. Water usage in July is averaging around 61 million gallons a day. Water usage this July is approaching the fourth highest monthly usage on record.
The public can track daily water usage on the City Web site at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: water). The site also includes suggestions for water conservation, the City's Water Management Plan and water rates. LWS water rates are structured to encourage conservation – those who use more water are charged a higher rate.
