Twenty years ago, astronomers witnessed one of the brightest stellar explosions in more than 400 years. The titanic supernova, called SN 1987A, blazed with the power of 100 million suns for several months following its discovery on Feb. 23, 1987. Observations of SN 1987A, made over the past 20 years by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and many other major ground- and space-based telescopes, have significantly changed astronomers' views of how massive stars end their lives. Astronomers credit Hubble's sharp vision with yielding important clues about the massive star's demise.
This Hubble telescope image shows the supernova's triple-ring system, including the bright spots along the inner ring of gas surrounding the exploded star. A shock wave of material unleashed by the stellar blast is slamming into regions along the inner ring, heating them up, and causing them to glow. The ring, about a light-year across, was probably shed by the star about 20,000 years before it exploded.

Item #7280
90-100 days. While the names are similar, crimson clover is different than red clover. This annual clover has larger, elongated flower heads with deep red, long-lasting blossoms that invite beneficial insects such as ladybugs and bees. Like other clovers, crimson clover fixes nitrogen but it's faster growing for quick benefits to your garden. Crimson clover is sown as a spring or fall cover crop since it grows best in cool weather. Till, mow or cut back with a weed trimmer at end of bloom and before seeds form for maximum nitrogen. Grows in a variety of soils but does best if soil is well drained. Plants tolerate some shade so you can sow crimson clover in between rows or under tall plants such as corn. A beautiful addition to fill spots in flower beds and borders. Flowers can be harvested and dried to make a delicious tea with a light, refreshing flavor.
This packet sows approximately 175 square feet.

Following the tracks
Walking along the railroad tracks, I never could decide if it was easier to stretch my stride from one tie to the next, or if I should follow my natural rhythm, letting my foot land sometimes in the crushed stone ballast and sometimes on wood. I wanted the walking to be easy, unconscious. It wasn't. The smell of creosote and alfalfa still comes to me when I concentrate.
In the late '80s, my family and I moved to Colorado, and the curving Appalachian hills, jumbled briars and fenceless yards of my youth gave way to the dry, flat grid of Western suburbia. The postage-stamp yards and matching streetlamps of my Front Range neighborhood pained me, but I lacked the wheels that might have taken me into the real wilderness of the Rockies. So I turned to the rust-line of steel that offered a semblance of freedom, if not the lost-in-the-woods kind I had relished in Pennsylvania.
The tracks ran east-west, but I only walked west, away from our neighborhood with its manicured golf course. Once outside the confines of concrete and sculpted fairways, I found cornfields, a few spotty cows, and a slough I claimed for my own. There were red-wing blackbirds posted every 20 yards, their songs so constant I hardly noticed them. Toads - bumpy, khaki-green - startled me when they hop-plopped! into the slough and broke the songbird silence. The hollow dunking noise raised my eyes for an instant. Then I was back on task, watching my footfalls, hearing the crunch of stone and wood beneath me.
When I first started exploring the open country of the tracks, I was afraid I'd get crushed under the metal wave of a coal train. But then I realized, from the train whistle that rode the wind into my bedroom at 10:30 each night, that only one locomotive ever used them. At 13, 14 and 15 years of age, that lonely whistle was my anthem. I felt like no one saw or understood me for who I was: a confused girl trying to come of age in the last few years of the 20th century. The tracks were out of bounds - a no-man's-land - and I wanted to be the kind of girl who crossed lines, made discoveries, shocked the world.
So I continued to trespass into the fields and, although I imagined that an old-time railroad boss might materialize to punish me, I was chased off the sandy bank of "my" slough only by a furious farmer on his ATV. I wore my sweaty escape like a badge of honor. I liked to toss the phrase, "I'm going to walk the tracks," over my shoulder as I went out the door on a Saturday afternoon, hoping my parents would feel the danger I knew lurked in my actions. Instead, they nodded over their books and newspapers and let me go.
I went without a house key or book or bottle of water. I just walked. And I sang as I walked, sang Springsteen ballads and tunes most people reserve for campfire circles, including "O Susanna" - I sang that the loudest, and it gave my gait a lift that carried me easily from one sticky tie to the next. I also sang John Denver songs, loving in particular the line, "Talk to God and listen to the casual reply ..." It was a relief to be alone, free from familial expectations and judgment. I couldn't carry a tune, I knew - I had once been told not to sing so loudly in church - but I liked to belt out praise anyway. Out on the tracks, there was no one but God to hear, no one to tell me who or how to be me.
I found odd things in the gleaming limestone ballast between the wood of the ties. A worn-out leather shoe, scraps of twisted wire, a turquoise stone amid the sea of white ones, a desiccated fish. The fish was maybe 10 inches long and translucent brown. It had died and dried in an arched position, its over-large mouth screaming wide. I leapt off the tracks when I saw it, then crept back to take a closer look. There was something wonderfully wild about the twist of that fish's body and the mystery of its beaching on a Colorado shore. I coveted that fish and was of a mind to pick it up and take it with me, find out the species, learn how it could have gotten there - maybe even mount it on a wooden plaque on my wall, the way fishermen do.
But this discovery was more than a trophy - even as a teenager, I sensed that the creature was like those fossilized fish skeletons that make dark, watercolor strokes on sandstone and remind us of the shadow-places within. Those inner wildernesses, where body and soul and voice retain childhood freedoms long forsaken, still lived somewhere inside my civilized, groomed persona.
Along the
tracks, I was becoming freer, more willing to hop the fence, break
the rules, and sniff out what was real. So I left the mystery fish
there, but carried its message with me as I headed further west,
the bloody, living sunset on my face.

Meet and Eat: Rémy Robert, Serious Eats Intern
Getting to know the folks behind the food and drinks you love.
Name: Rémy Robert
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Occupation: Recent college graduate, intern, dog nanny
Website/Twitter: remyrobert.com + @remycrobert
Guilty pleasures? Starbursts FaveReds. I'm weak for that artificial cherry flavoring. Whenever I'm at a restaurant and the bread is good and the butter soft, I eat probably twice as much butter per slice as is socially acceptable. And I make a point to start every day with a bite of good chocolate—I feel like there's a kind of symbolism in it—though that pleasure isn't guilty.
Describe your perfect meal. It would start with a Dark n' Stormy and end with something melty and chocolate. In between, a big crunchy salad with a vinegar-heavy vinaigrette, nuts, and any kind of good cheese; a cup of weather-appropriate soup; a bunch of vegetables to share; and spaghetti and meatballs. Raucous conversation, non-awkward silences, and the people with whom both are possible. A nice mosey home afterward.
What food won't you eat? Grainy pink tomatoes, a.k.a. the vast majority of them. It's just not worth the extra color in my sandwich or salad. And, weirdly enough, butterscotch. I've alienated loved ones for speaking out on this issue, but I think it's so cloying and can't comprehend why it isn't caramel, which is flawless.
Favorite food person? René Redzepi, and not only because I have a deep and abiding obsession with Scandinavia. I just love his approach to food at Noma—it has a strong sense of place but is so imaginative (see also: deep-fried reindeer moss; a 'snowman' made of elderflower and lingonberry sorbets). I majored in ethics, so I appreciate that he has such a coherent philosophy in his cooking. Amidst the buzz of locavorism this and farm-to-table that, I adore his sincerity.
When did you first realize you were a serious eater? I'm from New Orleans and have never missed a Jazz Fest since I was born. Because it's New Orleans, there's a dizzying array of good food options; my mom and I always smuggle Tupperware onto concert grounds and triage what will not save well (e.g. fried softshell crab po-boys) to eat there, packing the rest (e.g. pheasant-quail-andouille gumbo) to be eaten later at home. It didn't occur to me that that might seem crazy or gluttonous until I went to college in puritanical New England. I've never heard of anybody hoarding clam chowder or cod.
What do your family and friends think of your food obsessions? They're totally on board. In college, I wrote restaurant reviews for a campus blog, and I had a listserv of friends who came along on my outings, ordered different things, and shared bites with me. My family loves food like I do—my dad does the thing where he orders lots of appetizers 'for the table' since he has menu FOMO— and my mom plans her meetings around our restaurant adventures. I inherited my sweet tooth from her, so she helps me ferret out new treats.
Favorite food sites or blogs? Other than Serious Eats, I'm eternally devoted to Food52 for recipes, and I love Eater NOLA for keeping me in the loop on food news so I'm equipped with a list of must-try spots whenever I visit home.
Everyone has a go-to person they call for restaurant recommendations. Who's yours? I'm a brand-new New York transplant, so I'm still getting my bearings. New Yorkers, I'm calling on you for your favorite restaurants and/or recommenders! That said, I'm lucky to live with my best friend, Lily, who has an encyclopedic knowledge of hidden treasure troves of Mexican food and brunch and an appetite to match mine. We never go hungry.
What is your favorite meal of the day and where do you get it? There's nothing, truly nothing, like a good breakfast. At college in Providence, that often came in the form of a toasted sunflower seed bagel with veggie cream cheese and Tapatío from Bagel Gourmet; in New Orleans, it's a walk down the street to Patois for fried rabbit on a biscuit with a poached egg, to Velvet for coffee and a homemade pop-tart, or to Morning Call for beignets and café au lait.
Do you ever cook? What's the best dish you make? I love getting my hands on a slew of good produce and improvising from there. I make shaved sautéed Brussels sprouts with red onions, parmesan, and a squeeze of lime—good on its own and blissful with a fried egg. People like that.

How times have changed. In the space of a few weeks ordinary things like going to the beach or swimming have become illegal activities, criminal acts. We have sleep walked into a police state and we are clapping our way through it.
We are told that the lockdown will have to continue indefinitely. We are told there will be more rounds of Covid-19 each worse the next. This is completely counter to most diseases which get milder over time. We are told when the lock down lifts, groups no larger than 10 will be allowed. What does that mean for flying, going to the theatre, cinema, concerts, football matches. Going to the beach, staying in a hotel.
Actually its pure crap and if we dont wake up and reject this bullshit, we are totally fucked.

Councilors from Fianna Fail, Green Party, Labour and Social Democrats have agreed to give land at O Devaney Gardens to Bartra Capital.
O Devaney Gardens was a working class flat complex on the edge of the Phoenix Park. For decades, it was run down by Dublin City Council and requests by tenants for proper maintenance were ignored.
Dublin City Council officials typically neglect inner city housing complexes in the hope that they can eventually move out the residents and turn them into posh private apartments.
The Fianna Fail-Green-LabourSocial Democrat coalition that run Dublin City Council complied with this disgraceful strategy. read full story / add a comment

Housing prices are skyrocketing in cities around the world. Incomes are not. Private equity firms have become the biggest landlords in the world, and the extent of the high-end land grab goes well beyond gentrification. Fredrik Gerttens probing documentary follows Leilani Farha, the UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing as she travels the world in an effort to understand why we are being pushed out of our cities, and why affordable housing isnt defined as a fundamental human right.

We are facing a huge crisis over our climate. But the Government is not allowing the Dail to vote on a People Before Profit sponsored Climate Emergency Bill that would keep fossil fuels in the ground.
The main mechanism they are using is a little known and obscure legal measure known as a money message. When any law imposes a financial cost on the state, the government can attach this money message to stop debate.
However, this Fine Gael led government are totally missing this measure. How, for example could a bill to stop the issuing of future licences for oil and gas exploration impose a cost on the state?
Fine Gael have killed 55 opposition bills by using this way. read full story / add a comment

Kevin Rodgers isn't returning to school this fall to finish his bachelor's degree: He graduated magna cum laude last December with a degree in business administration in finance.
He isn't returning to achieve milestones: The quarterback already holds Division II Henderson State's single-season and career records for passing yards, completion percentage, pass efficiency and touchdowns.
So why is this Rockwall, Texas, native, who has accomplished so much in his 22 years, heading back to campus? It's not just to play out his final year of eligibility. He's also pursuing a master's in business administration.
"I want to try to play at the next level and follow my dream, but I always have my backup plan," Rodgers said.
Leading a huddle has taught Rodgers how to collaborate with others, which will serve him well when his playing days are over.
"You're going to work in teams your entire life, especially in business," he said. "That's taught me a lot about working together and being there for each other. We bond together and teach each other about friendship and loyalty."
Rodgers has accumulated a number of awards during his time at Henderson State. For the past two years, he's been named the Great American Conference Male Athlete of the Year, and he also picked up GAC Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors in 2014.
"It's a great conference. Everyone does a great job," he said. "Any of these athletes could have earned that award. To think I was chosen out of all these great people, it's humbling."
Rodgers doesn't expend all of his time and energy on the field or in the classroom. His work with the Baptist Collegiate Ministries, the Reddie Football Blood Drive and local humane societies earned him the captain's spot on the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team last year.
Should he never don a helmet carrying the star of his hometown Dallas Cowboys, he looks forward to life as a financial advisor or analyst. Whatever comes next, Rodgers insists the demands of being a student-athlete have prepared him.
"When things are going to get really busy, you need to work through that and keep a level head," he said. "It does take that balance in life. Whether you are playing a pro sport or are in the workforce."

The St. Francis de Sales Parish Book Club meets in the basement room in the rectory where Father Matthias used to run the parish weight-lifting club, until he was recruited by the local Lutheran university football team to be their strength and conditioning coach, which he says cheerfully is a ministry among the heathen not unlike St. Thomas sweating amid the Hindus on the teeming shores of India, although the Lutherans, God bless their tall and well-groomed souls, are a sect founded by a Catholic monk, so we must remember they are our cousins in the Merciful Lord Jesus, and besides, old Martin Luther did say sin boldly, for which you have to admire the old reprobate.
Anyway, says Mrs. Cooney, notwithstanding Father Matt's convoluted apologetics here, we are not here to talk about Father Matt, who remains a priest in good standing even if he is bulking up the Lutherans, despite what certain unnamed members of the Altar Society twitter in scurrilous fashion, but we are here to decide what books to read this fall, before we return to the collected works of the greatest Catholic novelist of all time, who is of course Maeve Binchy. The floor is open.
The plays of His Holiness the late John Paul II!
Great pope, awful playwright, says Mrs. Cooney. No. Next.
The essays of Andre Dubus?
Yes. Best Catholic writer since Flannery O'Connor.
Should we read his stories also?
No. Adultery every third page. He's the American Graham Greene.
James Joyce?
Well—he wasn't Catholic after puberty. Maybe Dubliners.
Merton's The Seven Storey Mountain!
No. Overwritten boyish burble. A good editor would have halved it.
Objection! It totally caught the Catholic zeitgeist of the 1950s!
Anyone using the word zeitgeist loses her vote, says Mrs. Cooney coldly. Next.
Ron Hansen's novel Mariette in Ecstasy?
Is that . . . lurid? If so I vote yes.
No, no—life in a convent, awe, jealousy, stigmata. Genius stuff.
Approved, says Mrs. Cooney. Which reminds me that we should also have Rumer Godden's This House of Brede on the list. Masterpiece. Set in an abbey.
Dorothy Day's diaries?
Yes. What a witness to the miracle of every moment.
Peter Maurin?
Yes. Pithiest writer ever.
Flannery O'Connor's letters?
Yes. Maybe the only writer other than Robert Louis Stevenson whose letters are not about money. Writers—what a bunch of whiners.
No. Poor man never had an unpublished thought. Let's not reward him for that.
No, he's English. No imperial slavemasters this year.
Annie Dillard?
Yes. Maybe Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, right after Dorothy Day, as a sort of witness to wonder theme. Then maybe For the Time Being, which is weird and glorious.
Teilhard de Chardin?
No. Incomprehensible muck. Not even Teilhard knew what he was talking about, the poor man. Plus he was a Jesuit, and we are focusing on Catholic writers this year.
George Bernanos?
No. No one admits how dull Diary of Country Priest is.
Carlo Levi?
No. Humorless.
Primo Levi?
Yes. Another one for our witness to grace theme. Can you witness evil and report on it in such a way that no one can ever forget what happened ever again, which is a blow against the darkness? Yes.
Joseph Bernardin?
Yes. That man was a saint.
J. F. Powers?
Yes. Let's read all of Powers. Half-forgotten, and undeservedly so. As fine a Catholic fiction writer as this country ever hatched from its salty soil, period.
Fulton Sheen?
No. You know the rules: No writers who wore heavy makeup.
Paul Wilkes' In Mysterious Ways: The Death and Life of a Parish Priest?
Mary Gordon?
Walker Percy?
Myles Connolly's Mr. Blue?
No. No campus novels. Even Nabokov couldn't do it well.
Willa Cather's Death Comes for the Archbishop?
Yes. Genius.
LeBron James?
Not Catholic—yet. Mrs. Warren, how many books are on the list now?
Seven thousand.
No, really.
That should take us through the first month. Let's keep going.
Alice McDermott!
Ooooooooo, great choice. The great Catholic novelist of our time. We'll start with Charming Billy and then go to At Weddings and Wakes and finish with After This. Triptych.
The King James Bible?
Isn't that missing a couple of key chapters?
Yes, but my heavens, the prickly thorny muscular edgy prose—makes all the other translations sound like Lutherans singing into bowls of oatmeal.
Well—maybe the second half, the good part, says Mrs. Cooney. So there's the winter taken care of. Spring books?
Do they have to be by Catholic writers?
No—we already have Primo Levi, and he was Italian. But let's stay with witnesses to grace.
Wendell Berry's essays?
David James Duncan's God Laughs & Plays!
Terrific choice. Although didn't he grow up Seventh-Day Adventist?
Yes, but he recovered.
You know why the Seventh-Day Adventists frown on premarital sex?
Might lead to dancing.
All right, all right. Other suggestions?
The Shawl by Cynthia Ozick.
Great choice. But we can read that haunting story in 10 minutes. Although maybe we should focus on shorter works in the spring. Sap rising and all that. Young men's fancies turning to love and play-off hockey.
Mark Twain's essay "The War Prayer."
Merton's poem "Original Child Bomb."
LeBron James!
Chet Raymo.
Good choice. I nominate Climbing Brandon. A thin masterpiece, like David Bowie.
Mary Oliver?
Is she Catholic?
No, but she's the great American poet of our time, and attentiveness is the beginning of all prayer, as she says, and Catholicism really is about attentiveness as the crucial step in witnessing and celebrating the extraordinary generosity of God to us, his mewling and muddled children, therefore Mary Oliver, one might conclude, is the great Catholic poet of our time, other than Bruce Springsteen.
Is that kind of weird reasoning legal?
Isn't it hermeneutical?
Herman who?
Isn't Springsteen Jewish?
Can Father Matt make a Lutheran so big that not even Father Matt can lift him?
If a Muslim man becomes a mathematician and a musician, is he Islamamathemusical?
I think we have come to the end of the useful part of this meeting, says Mrs. Cooney, with the faintest hint of a smile. Mrs. Warren, what's our total?
Fifty thousand.
No, really.
Motion to adjourn? We just have time to open our Witness to Grace season upstairs in the den—LeBron James is on, and Father Matt says he'll give a short talk about the Los Angeles Lakers as the evil spawn of the Dark One. First assignment, then, to be read by next next Thursday: Andre Dubus' Meditations from a Moveable Chair.
Wasn't he a Red Sox fan? Isn't that Calvinist?
Enough, says Mrs. Cooney firmly. Game time. Do we have enough beer glasses?
Is that a rhetorical question?
Herman who?

Ok gang after all your great suggestions this is what I have done.Checked output at the converter....13.58 volts...when plugged in.Checked all fuses including the two 40AMP .....all GoodChecked the FUSE/RELAY/CIRCUIT BREAKER at the battery.All ok. Breaker can be reset. Another words if it pops you reset it.Checked battery voltage at the battery ...9.56..Checked voltage in the cable from converter in the battery compartment ... before the breaker 9.56Checked master disconnect switch on the front of the engine compartment..made no difference in voltage...Checked STORE/USE switch made no difference in the battery voltage..9.56When store /use switch is flipped you can hear and feel a solenoid.It's behind a panel in the engine compartment. Please don't say take it to your dealer...my dealer sucks.
No such circuit breakers in the box with the solenoid.
ALL solid state with 5 pole relays.
Checked the solenoid with the rocker switch in the use mode and got engine or chassis battery voltage on both sides, switched to store mode and got chassis voltage on one side and coach voltage on the other.
I have a 2014 Thor ACE 30.1 The coach battery is not charging. This is what I have done , replaced a good coach battery, replaced a good converter. Well some people do these things.I tested them but did not believe the results. I tested the converter as instructed . The converter is working. The battery is new and is not charging. I checked the voltage before it gets to the circuit breaker. However it charges when the vehicle engine is running . AM I doing something wrong to cause the battery not to charge? I keep it plugged in.
The chassis batt is the one in the front of the engine the starts and operates the engine ,headlights etc. it is used to start the engine. it is charging at 13.56 volts when the engine is running. BUT one thing that I fail to understand is that with the engine is running, shore line unplugged the coach batt ,thats the one in the outside compartment thats connected to the converter that operates the lights in the living area of the rv is showing 9.56 volts with the engine not running BUT with the enging running it shows the same as the engine battery 13.56 volts that would indicate that the engine charging system is connected to the RV electrical sysyem some where But if this is true why is my engine battery not going dead and the house battery is ? You are correct in saying that I am confused about the STORE/USE SWITCH AND THE BOOST SWITCH. The STORE/USE SWITCH is at the entrance to the RV. When The RV is being used you place it in the use position, when the RV is not being used place it in the store position. The BOOST switch , I know nothing about it or where it is located please fill me in.
correction lights on after about 15-20 seconds but coach battery not charging
Yes exactly like the one the photo

Director Matthew Vaughn and producer Bryan Singer are trying to borrow some tent-pole magic, casting "Twilight" star Edi Gathegi in the role of Darwin, a little known bi-racial mutant with the power of "reactive evolution."
Gathegi, who played the dreadlocked vampire Laurent in the first two "Twilight" films, joins an "X-Men: First Class" cast that already includes James McAvoy as Professor Charles Xavier, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Alice Eve as Emma Frost, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Caleb Landry Jones as Banshee and Lucas Till as Havoc. The young heroes will do battle with an as yet unnamed villain played by Kevin Bacon. News of Gathegi's new gig was broken by Deadline, whose readers offered a mindbogglingly misguided and pointless discourse on the actor's skin tone as it relates to the role of Darwin.
Born Armando Munoz, it was a scientist that dubbed first dubbed him "Darwin, the Evolving Boy," for his ability to adapt his body to any situation. After a failed suicide attempt, Darwin was trained in controlling his powers by Moira Taggart before being recruited to join Xavier's X-Men.
U.S. & World
We've never heard of Darwin before, but the kid clearly has some stuff to work out.
"X-Men: First Class" arrives June 3, 2011.

|OpenBSD General Other questions regarding OpenBSD which do not fit in any of the categories below.

Tmux basic fcns not working; Dell Inspiron, OpenBSD 5.4
System Information: OpenBSD 5.4 Generic#37 amd64, Dell Inspiron 11z, env TERM=vt220
Need help: I can start tmux but basic functionality isn't working, like Ctrl-b d. A point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
After performing a new install (I am new to OpenBSD), I tried the tmux tutorial from the OpenBSD faq:
Start tmux, start top, then Ctrl-b d results in top displaying "Command not understood". I quit top, then try Ctrl-b d, still does not detach tmux. I exit tmux.
Tmux man page says ~/.tmux.conf is default configuration file:
I do not have this dot file in my home directory. Man page also says /etc/tmux.conf is system-wide configuration file that tmux loads /if present/. This file is not located in /etc directory. I would think a dotfile in my home directory would be created after I start tmux, perhaps pulling in the system defaults, or starting with a bare bones setup. Since it does not, I think I must have selected something incorrectly on the OpenBSD install process.
Web search for tmux.conf points to archlinux forum user asking, "Where's my tmux.conf?"
It mentions another directory that might contain tmux.conf, /usr/share/tmux, but I have no such tmux directory. A "whereis tmux" shows only /usr/bin tmux.
A response in the archlinux forum above indicates that in the example directory there is no tmux.conf file:
I can accept that, but when I look at the tmux FAQ (http://tmux.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tmux/trunk/FAQ/) it gives an answer to, "How do I see the default configuration?", by using:
$ tmux -Lfoo -f/dev/null start\; show -g
The command string above displays a list of commands referred to in the tmux man page, so it seems to be pulling a default configuration.
Again, a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, and welcome!
First step is to make sure your keystroke that follows the CTRL-b sequence does not also use the CTRL key. To detach, you type CTRL-b followed by "d" alone.
Second step is to make sure you're not using an environment where CTRL-b needs to be escaped ... such as starting a tmux session from within another tmux session.
The tmux configuration files do not exist by default; if you wish to use either a personal or system-wide configuration file, you must create it with your $EDITOR of choice.
When doing Internet-wide searches on OpenBSD tools which have been ported to other Unix-like operating systems (like Linux...), recognize that OpenBSD's file system is laid out differently (see the hier(7) manpage...). Following Linux-oriented documentation may be pointing you into the weeds when the target is actually OpenBSD.
Having said that, The Pragmatic Programmers subsidiary of O'Reilly has published a book on tmux(1), & the associated YouTube video (found at the link below...) might aid in your quest to master the utility:
Thank you jggimi and ocicat for the quick responses!
jggimi, you identified the issue; instead of releasing the Ctrl-b keys, I was keeping them depressed while depressing the d-key at the same time. Feel real silly... Thank you for confirming that the configuration files do not exist by default.
ocicat, good point about referring to the archlinux forum while troubleshooting an (non)issue in OpenBSD. I got so busy trying to "do my homework" before posting, that I went off the grid :-) Thank you, also, for the book reference; if the video is any indication, the book looks to be worthwhile.
Thank you both, again!
I wouldn't have recognized a "sticky" CTRL key if I hadn't made a similar mistake at some point. Please don't worry, we've all been there, done that (or something very akin to it).
OpenBSD places all configuration files in /etc irregardless of whether they are base applications or user applications. For example, the dhcp code is a core application and its configuration file is /etc/dhcpd.conf while mpd is user installed with its configuration file in /etc/mpd.conf.
Tmux is core package in OpenBSD which is why it is installed in /usr/bin. Prior to tmux being included as a core package, the executable binary, if you would have installed it, would have ended up in /usr/local/bin.
In OpenBSD, if it is likely that different users might tweak a configuration file to their own preferences, one can copy the /etc configuration file to one's home directory and modifiy it. The modification will overided the system conf files in /etc

Reducing the side effects of treatment for prostate cancer
New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal BMC Medicine reassessing clinical data from trials, which investigate ways of treating side effects of therapy for prostate cancer, finds that tamoxifen, an anti-estrogen used to treat breast cancer, is also able to suppress gynecomastia and breast pain in men.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men and early treatment is usually very successful. Androgen-suppression therapy is often used to slow down progression of advanced disease. However, unwanted side effects of anti-androgen treatment, such as breast enlargement, can stop men from seeking treatment for their cancer.
Testosterone can drive the growth of prostate cancer and anti-androgens are used to inhibit prostate cancer growth by preventing testosterone from binding to androgen receptors. But receptors in cells within the testes are also blocked and start to make more testosterone to compensate. Some of this extra testosterone is converted into estrogen which is responsible for development of breast tissue and other breast events. Anti-estrogens work by jamming the estrogen receptor, while aromatase inhibitors prevent the conversion of testosterone into estrogen.
A collaboration between the German Cochrane Center and University Clinic Erlangen combined data from four independent clinical trials each looking at the management of breast events (during treatment for prostate cancer) with tamoxifen.
A meta-analysis of all four trials showed that tamoxifen reduced the risk of both gynecomastia and breast pain at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of treatment compared to men who received no treatment. Overall, treatment with tamoxifen was more successful in reducing breast symptoms than treatment with an aromatase inhibitor (anastrazole) or radiotherapy.
Although there is no long term data available, few of the men treated with tamoxifen, either as preventative or therapeutic treatment, stopped taking their medication during their year of treatment. There were also no significant adverse effects.
Dr Frank Kunath, who led this study explained, "Not all men will suffer gynecomastia during anti-androgen therapy. However, if men know that there is a successful option for reducing the breast symptoms associated with treatment for prostate cancer they may be more likely to see their doctor when symptoms of cancer first appear, and consequently reduce the number of unnecessary deaths."

Two weeks to go. Two dances per couple tonight. It strikes me, this year more than most for some reason, that, much as I love it, Strictly is almost identical year after year. Watching a clip of Brucie's "jokes", I'd defy anyone to guess which year we were in. Or decade, come to that. He and Len have missed the post-Savile memo about how cringingly inappropriate lecherous remarks by old men to young women are (ditto casual homophobia, but at least in that regard Craig and Bruno can hold their own, as it were).
There's a change in the celebrities obviously, and some of the professional dancers. The female member of the judging panel has varied (Arlene/Alesha/Darcey). But the male judges, Dave Arch and his orchestra, the set, dances, make-up, props and costumes remain reliably, comfortably the same.
The producers tried something new last week with the dance style mash-up, which was fine, by and large, but just as at the end of every episode of the Simpsons, all was back to normal afterwards.
The thing that makes me smile most of all are the slips-of-the-tongues over the "Sunday show" (that's actually filmed straight after the Saturday one). Zoe Ball saying to Alfie Boe on Friday night It Takes Two "So we'll see you performing on the results show tomorrow. Er, Sunday." Far too expensive and time-consuming to dress and do full make-up on all the celebs and pro-dancers two nights in a row.
Obviously Tess and Darcey change their dresses between shows. But my hairdresser Helen pointed out that their hair styles change too (it's put into an up-do if it was down or vice-versa). It must be a frantic half hour backstage for the stylists whilst the phone vote's going on.

Date Night: Franchia
Spots for every kind of date.
Franchia made us feel like the dumplings they serve. This Asian-inflected, vegan restaurant offers serenity with a side of placidity. From where we sat on the second floor, we could see drapery billowing below and hear the slight tinkling of metal chopsticks against ceramic bowls above. Just looking at the ceiling, interlocking squares in blue, green, and pink, a series of presences and absences, calmed us. Enveloped and protected, we awaited the opportunity to nourish our bodies with pure ingredients. Like its sister restaurant, Hangawi, Franchia promises to turn Type As into Type Bs.
What's New On Serious Eats
The evening's single miss came first. Crispy tofu sticks ($7.95) were a tasteless take on mozzarella sticks, bar food without a sense of humor. Even the ginger wasabi dipping sauce couldn't turn dry sogginess into goodness. And, no, "dry sogginess" isn't an oxymoron: the tofu was dry, the breading soggy.
No matter. We listened to the woodwinds over the stereo and sipped our Korean pear fantasy ($6), a mixture of green tea and pear juice, a double dose of bitter, served with a frothy head like beer. Our second beverage, snow dew tea ($5), would, according to the menu, cleanse the palate with natural sweeteners. "Perfectly clear water instills honesty; sublimely fine tea instills faith" was inscribed on our cup.
The tea worked, and we happily ate the assorted dumplings ($12.95). Steamed rather than fried, they came dusted in a fiesta herb mix, mostly parsley, and refused to reveal their secrets. To discern the four separate types, we had to take a bite. Acceptable were the mixed vegetable and tofu watercress versions, understandably watery from the steaming. Better was the punchy kimchi, and best was the soy and grain 'meat.' It could have passed for chicken, with its energetic burst of 'protein.'
The vegetarian stone bowl with mountain greens ($16.95), a big ol' pot of undoctored goodness, stayed hot for what seemed like hours, cackling its own song and reminding us that patience is a key component of relaxation. We waited and waited, then finally tore into the multicolored shreds of mushroom, cabbage, carrots, and others, burned palate be damned. At the bowl's bottom, the rice had gone wonderfully crispy.
To make the spicy Franchia noodles ($14.95), whole wheat noodles had been dragged through an oil slick, then tossed with asparagus, zucchini, broccoli, peanuts, and scallions. These thin strings had possibility, like the geeky guy in junior high who grew up to know all the cool bands. We wish there had been more.
The meal ends, the bill comes, the breath quickens in anticipation of returning to the mean streets of Murray Hill. If you're good at math, you can see how the noodles and dumplings and teas might add up. Franchia has a prix fixe at lunch ($26.95) and dinner ($29.95), including soup of the day or salad of the week, two appetizers, an entree, and dessert with tea. Perhaps the prices help bestir slowed hearts, one way of re-establishing balance: get too relaxed, and you might never leave. Franchia is best for: a low pressure date.

After the 16th pick, I am going to make a new post
Trade Rumor: Spurs will send George Hill as part of a package to the Pacers for Leonard.
Update #16 (9:0 PM) Philadelphia selects Nikola Vucevic – I hate you Philadelphia. My favorite Knicks target is gone. New thread boys.
Update #15 (9:00 PM) Indiana selects Kawhi Leonard – My #1 Knicks target at this point is gone. What a steal for the Pacers.
Update #14 (8:54 PM) Houston selects Marcus Morris of Kansas – Twins back to back. Good pick as well.
Update #13 (8:46 PM) Phoenix selects Markeiff Morris from Kansas – Another Knicks target gone.
Update #12 (8:40 PM) Utah selects Alec Burks with their 2nd first round pick. – there goes another of my favorite Knicks targets.
Update #11 (8:34 PM) Golden State selects Klay Thompson – no surprise here. I mocked this last week and now let the Monta Ellis trade rumors begin.
Update #10 (8:28 PM) Milwaukee selects Jimmer Fredette for the Sacramento Kings (via the trade reported earlier) – Fredette and Evans in the backcourt is going to be a scary combination.
Update #9 (8:23 PM) Charlotte Bobcats select Kemba Walker – God damn you Michael Jordan go to hell. There goes my dreams for the Knicks to get Kemba. Read the rest of this entry »


text: Anatomy and Physiology of the Ear The main parts of the ear are the outer ear, the eardrum (tympanic membrane), the middle ear, and the inner ear. Anatomy and Physiology of the Nose and Throat The sinuses are cavities, or air-filled pockets, near the nasal passage. They are lined with mucous membranes. Age-Appropriate Speech and Hearing Milestones A hearing problem may be suspected in a child who is not responding to sounds or who is not developing language skills appropriately. Hearing Loss in Children Sensorineural hearing loss involves the inner ear or its connection with the brain. Conductive hearing loss involves the middle or outer ear. Hearing Loss in Babies Hearing loss in babies is rare in this country, but when it does occur, it's important to diagnose it early. Undetected hearing loss can delay speech and language development. Types of Hearing Tests for Infants and Children One type of hearing screening test for newborns uses a tiny, flexible plug that is inserted into the baby's ear. The other type of test uses electrodes attached with adhesive to the baby's scalp. Management of Hearing Loss A child's hearing loss may be helped with hearing aids or cochlear implants. Training in sign language and lip reading is another option. Hearing Aids for Children Hearing aids can help improve hearing and speech, especially in children with hearing loss in the inner ear caused by damaged hair cells or a damaged hearing nerve. Age-Appropriate Speech and Language Milestones Here are guidelines on speech and language development that may help you decide if your child is experiencing hearing problems.

The surface of your phone will overheat if you are using it for more than an hour or two. But there are instances that when you leave your phone unused, and then hold it afterwards, it felt hot. This is because at that moment your phone was continuously running and draining your battery.
To prevent this to happen again, simply follow the steps on how to conserve your phone battery.
Here are some tips to conserve your Samsung Galaxy Pocket's battery
1. As you noticed, if you are using your Google Maps Application or any other Maps Application, your Android Phone's battery drain so fast. It is because the GPS that makes it possible for your Maps Application to work accurately requires more battery. And even if your Maps Application is not running, once the GPS is ON, the battery still draining more than the normal.
So Turn On your GPS only when needed or when you are using the Maps Application.
2. Unchecked your "Background data" under
Settings - > Accounts and snyc -> Background data
If you did so, you will see a popup
What is Background data?
It allows the applications to sync, send, and receive data at any time.Therefore, disabling the Background data will reduce the use of battery.
3. Turn On your WiFi only when needed.
All applications installed on your Samsung Galaxy Pocket that have a village to sync on your phone may send an update notification.
Also, your phone keeps on scanning available WiFi networks if this option is enabled. Turning off this option will save more battery.4. Lowering the brightness level of your phone screen.
Go to your Settings -> Display -> Brightnessnormally, lower than 50% brightness level is enough to use during day time.
and 35% brightness level is enough to use during night time. It's still up to you on what brightness level you want.
5. Turn On your Mobile data network only when needed.
Go to your Settings -> Wireless and networks -> Mobile networks
check Use packet data only when you want to internet using your mobile data connection. Unchecking this option doesn't mean that you won't receive SMS or calls.
6. Install battery saving application on your phone.
I installed this app on my phone
I am not affiliate with that app, I just want to share what I have on my phone. You can search battery saving applications on play.google.com then read first what the users review for the app then based on what you've read, decide whether to install it or not.
That application helps me to automatically turn ON/OFF my WiFi and Mobile data connection and other stuffs, which helps save the battery of my phone.

An invention is not "obvious" just because severalAn invention is not "obvious" just because several people discover it at once. It's a characteristic of scientific advance that the current milieu makes it possible to make the next logical jump. Mnay really important inventions have been in dispute because two or more people made them in isolation at about the same time.
Re: An invention is notI don't know... The test isn't just plain old "obvious," but "obvious to the skilled practitioner." If multiple skilled practitioners are coming to the same result independently, that certainly suggests it was the "obvious" next progression for the skilled practitioner. There's nothing *wrong* with that, but it should mean the idea is not patentable.
Mate, 16 May 2005 @ 9:50am
Re: An invention is notSorry, but I believe you are making a grand mistake here.. Often, some of the most important advances were on the table, but someone had to "see" them and let everybody else know. Only then they were obvious for anyone else. In such cases, a patent claim that would be made public would reveal everything. Yes, the proposed obviousness test is ok for complex technical advances that take years to perfect, but in such cases, a different method should be applied. Some might argue that if something is "simple", it is "less worthy", but actually in some cases it might be much more ingenious. The "real" obviousness test should at least have an additional option of "waiting for a period of time" and see, if anyone else makes an identical claim.. BTW: was this obvious? Is it now?....
Re: An invention is notSorry, but I believe you are making a grand mistake here..
Hmm. A "grand mistake" seems like quite a claim. I wasn't necessarily endorsing the idea -- but pointing out that there are different options in creating an obviousness test. Right now, there doesn't seem to be one at all.
jojo, 17 May 2005 @ 2:00am
Re: An invention is notIf it was "obvious", then WHY didn't anyone develop/patent the extension before now? I've heard this is a good argument to use when the patent office dings you with this.
As has been said above, once something has been pointed out, it always appears obvious.
Re: An invention is notIf it was "obvious", then WHY didn't anyone develop/patent the extension before now? I've heard this is a good argument to use when the patent office dings you with this.
There's a natural progression in development. If two (or more) entitities are likely to come up with the same innovation entirely independently of each other -- because it's the next logical evolution, why should some be denied the ability to do so?
Alok Bisani, 30 Nov 2005 @ 5:05pm
Re: An invention is notOkay.
- But how will you differentiate this case from those where enormous time and effort is required to invent what is claimed ?
- Should we discourage or encourage people/organisations from investing in such time and effort?
- And even if two or more such persons/organisations invest in this, then should we give incentive to finish their work faster by a patent grant or just let them finish at their own pace?
The solution to the obviousness problem would be a complete formula that should combine the following factors.
- The fact and the number of other instances where the claim is demonstrated but not applied for.
- The duration a claimant is willing/has to wait for between the patent applications and its grant.
- The willingness of the claimant to publicize his claims (only, and not the idea behind the claim) in this duration.
- The number of other patent applications in this duration, factored with above.
- .. add more here based on other considerations/complexities.
- The duration for which a patent monopoly is granted for or not based on all above.
jdguy26, 13 Dec 2005 @ 11:51am
Re: An invention is notIn response to 1)
Isn't it obvious? If it took enormous time and effort to develop, then it will take anyone else trying to replicate the invention enormous time and effort to develop. Hence the test.
It should just be noted that the reason we even have a patent system is not to reward people for their discoveries. It's to encourage more discoveries. This type of rule doesn't discourage inventions at all really. It "discourages" obvious inventions, but they're obvious anyway, and would be developed anyway as the next logical step.
In response to the original inventor bearing risks whereas subsequent inventors would KNOW there is a solution:
The patent office could regularly put out fake patent claims. Then other inventors cannot know for sure if something has been discovered, and so will be facing some (if not the exact same level of) risk.
- But how will you differentiate this case from those where enormous time and effort is required to invent what is claimed ?
Anonymous Coward, 16 May 2005 @ 9:28am
I don't know that I buy Lessig's IdeaI am all for patent reform and for making it more difficult, but this idea:
"The first comment to the Lessig post comes up with an interesting idea to test the "obviousness" of a patent. The patent office would reveal the claim of the patent -- but not the method for a certain period of time...."
I think in most cases, its the claim itself that contains the non-obvious info that's of real value. If Eli Whitney announced a claim for a machine to separate cotton seed from cotton fibers, I'm sure that given two years, someone else could have come up with the methods. But how long would it have taken if he didn't announce it?
Perez-Terron, 17 Jun 2005 @ 9:00am
Re: I don't know that I buy Lessig's IdeaWe should not require a flawless replacement when what we have is just horrible.
It is true that also important scientific discoveries like the differential calculus were made independendtly by contemporaneous scientists, in the example, Newton and Leibnitz. But then the differential calculus was indeed the logical next step at the time. (Not an obvious one, but a basis was there since Descartes. The nature of the communcations at the time made publications much more infrequent, and so much larger chunks of science were brought to the public in a single publication.)
It is true that many, perhaps most, patents owe their value more to the business idea they embody than to the technical merits. But in both these cases the society does not need to award monopolies to the inventors.
Next, had the claim of a machine to separate cotton seed from fibers been published at the time of the invention, I guess most inventors at the time, had they tried to solve the same problem in two years, they would have come up with rather different solutions. Since patents should be awarded for the solutions, not for the problems, patents should be granted if the solutions are sufficiently different.
It is also true that sometimes an invention is "on the table" waiting for somebody to see it. But again the society has nothing to win by awarding a patent to the first to see it. Patent protection is most needed when it takes substantial investment to solve all the detailed issues involved.
I do see a possibly valid counterargument: A claim of a vaccine against cancer could be taken to mean that such a vaccine is possible since somebody seems to have found one and is now patenting it. That would greatly reduce the percieved risk in investing in a search for such a vaccine, and would spur investors to do so. This is unfair to the original investor who assumed a much greater risk.
Another argument: It is sometimes not immediately obvious what a new scientific discovery will be usefull for, and it may take a lot of research to investigate along different lines. Think of buckyballs and nanotubes. When it is announced that a particular invention is being claimed, it might be obvious to people in the field where to start, and knowing also where to end it becomes relatively easy.
Still I think we need an obviousness test, and we need to raise the bar dramatically. Perhaps the patent system should have an obligation to apply Lessig's rule judiciously, and justify it when not using it. They (or the inventor) would have to give some credence to a claim that the patent in question is non-obvious by specifically pointing at how this work departed from the work of others in the field.
Consider the one-click Amazon patent. Amazon was able to simplify the ordering process by relying on information the customer had provided on earlier occasions. Why had that not been done before? It had, every small drug store that write things up and bill at the end of the month has been doing that. Why had that not been done on the Internet? Because Internet shopping was such a new thing and the merchants felt the need to reassure the customers that they (the customers)were in control, that they would not become liable to pay for things they had not wanted to buy. Then as customers became more confident, the time was in for a simplification.
I think the burden of proof that an invention is non-obvious in spite of its simplicity should lie with the inventor. The inventor should point at occasions where the invention should have been made and was not.
Julian Bond, 13 Jun 2005 @ 5:06am
Shorter timescalesPerhaps another view of this is that patent protection goes for on for much too long.
I'm all for people having a controlled monopoly for a short period so that they can get funding and attempt to establish some market presence with a genuine implemention. Like most of us here, I'm hugely against patents that are awarded for 15-20-30 years to companies that fail to implement and simply use the patent for lawyer enforced licensing. In the technology sphere, if you haven't implemented and are making revenue in 2 years, then you probably never will.
So what if we tightened up prior art checking, limited patent protection to 5 years and finally allowed a valid defence after 2 years that the patent owner hadn't brought anything to market. Isn't that what we really want to see?
robert johnson, 14 Jun 2005 @ 6:42pm
Re: Shorter timescalesTHAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!
Essentially correct, I would add that My device
(original thoght,solution to problem, "what I'm talking about", Idea) is to give all Corporations
a lifespan after which they DIE. Like us. You know, People, Human Beings all encounter this so
why not corporations? This must change.
Can I patent this? UUBOB

Re: No Subject GivenAnd that would be a bad thing, right?.... wait.. how exactly?
John Hart, 18 Jul 2006 @ 1:11pm
What to weed out.Most of the examples have been focused on what to make sure gets patented. Let's not forget to focus on what *shouldn't*.
To borrow from the Solicitor General's brief, there should not be a patent on garbage bags with halloween pumpkin faces on them (period actually), but certainly given that *paper* bags with halloween pumpkin faces already exist.
The obviousness test needs to allow that this is obvious.
Brent Jones, 27 Oct 2006 @ 9:47am
Obviousness not so obviousMotivation and focus bring about innovation. Innovation is the furthering of capability, function, satisfaction… from the level previously existing. Nothing is obvious but everything is obvious. Why is it everyone is so confused about obviousness? Because it was made a test for patentability. Absent or exclusive to that issue, almost all developments or concepts would be considered non obvious by some and obvious by others. Yes, of course, from the point of view of piers who have the skill.
Removing the oxygen from the environment surrounding a heated filament to slow its degradation when heated to a glow didn't immediately occur to Edison but how many other somewhat intelligent individuals might have quickly realized that - if they had been focused on and motivated to produce a light bulb? Write the claims first and test for ability to recreate the means? When waking from this dream, reality will hit hard.
The traditional requirement and test for obviousness can hardly be improved as almost everything becomes obvious just prior to its conception and no test, review, consideration or assessment will be any more accurate on the whole. Group thinking doesn't change this. A verdict of innocent by unanimous agreement of 12 doesn't make a guilty person innocent, or vice versa. Who thinks that only the vary rare, exceptionally intelligent, insightful person is able to come up with the things we find to be unique or innovative and worthy of a patent claim? That suggestion would be nonsense to us all. How many patented concepts took years of painstaking effort to implement successfully? It usually isn't the concept that takes all the effort, it's the practical implementation rife with problems from material selection to customer satisfaction that takes most of the creativity and effort – most often none of it patentable. Implementation and difficulty have nothing to do with the inventiveness of a concept.
Almost everything is obvious. Or not. For the purpose of patent claim protection, most claims are not obvious. A panacea for eliminating confusion on this issue is as difficult as defining Art or music as good or bad – any such standard will suffice only for a time and be accepted by only a few. This is not a call to eliminate the search, not for the illusive but the impossible definitive definition, but a request that folks quit convincing themselves this is easy or that there is a predominant sense of what is obvious or non obvious, which can be considered for judgment only after the concept is made visible and will inevitably be debated.

Re: Obviousness not so obviousBrent thats so OBVIOUS.
bgrh, 4 May 2007 @ 10:42pm
Patent life - 20 years - barely enough20 year patent life begins with the first filing - the time between the initial idea that the patent is filed on and a commercially viable implementation of the idea can take a decade. And, if the idea changes something big - say a great idea for solar energy, the adoption of the invention could take another decade, by which point the patent has expired. Five years might be fine in software or IT - but in other areas 20 years is barely enough to make it worth the effort and risk.
On the other hand, allowing Disney to extend copyright forever is just as crazy. The cute cartoon Winnie the Pooh is a Disney trademark, and it can survive as a corporate asset - but the story should be free.
Anita, 12 May 2008 @ 12:47am
Obviousness not so obviousWhen we say something is obvious to a person skilled in the art we should consider that there can be hundreds of people who are skilled in a particular art but how many of them come out with a tangible and productive idea that can be implemented into a patentable product or process or whatever.. So one can't escape just by saying the invention is obvious. It takes an inventive mind, creative and constructive thought and hardwork to bring about an invention that is patentable.

What's New
Adams Font Family by Canada Type
Adams is a revival and major expansion of Dolf Overbeek's Studio typeface and Flambard, its bold counterpart, originally published by the Amsterdam Type Foundry in 1946 and 1954. This digital version adds small caps and a new light weight.
Adams is a simple upright, flat brush script, with stroke angles carefully designed to give the same color in all sizes. It is reminiscent of the sign lettering commonly found in the 1930s and 1940s.
The Adams fonts are available in all popular font formats, and the character sets cover a wide range of codepages, including Central and Eastern European languages, Esperanto, Turkish, Baltic, Celtic/Welsh.
