As Oscar Wilde once said, "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about."
Sachs was at least familiar with the public spotlight as a well-known actor and narrator. Jacintha Saldanha was not. Nor was Gretchen Molannen.
On November 30, the Tampa Bay Times published a story about Gretchen Molannen, a 39-year old woman who had a rare sexual disorder known as 'persistent genital arousal.'
The Times worked with Molannen and read her the entire story before it was published. She'd written to the newspaper thanking it for showing an interest, adding: "I just hope this will educate people that this is serious and really exists, and that other women who are suffering in silence will now have the courage to talk to a doctor about it."
The day after the story was published, Molannen killed herself. Even sympathetic coverage and subsequent offers of help could not save her.
It's unclear whether the publicity about her condition was too much to bear; she had previously attempted to take her own life.
"It's important to understand that suicide is complex," says Catherine Johnstone, chief executive of the Samaritans, a UK group that counsels people thinking of suicide.
"Although a catalyst may appear to be obvious, suicide is never the result of a single factor or event and is likely to have several interrelated causes," Johnstone said on the group's website soon after news emerged of Saldanha's death.
If adults are vulnerable to what they perceive as public humiliation, teenagers are doubly so. Tyler Clementi was an 18-year old student at Rutgers University who in 2010 was secretly filmed by his roommate having a sexual encounter with another man. A short while later he jumped to his death from a New York bridge.
Clementi was not only humiliated but his humiliation was amplified by the fact that his roommate, Dharun Ravi, shared the footage with others and tweeted about it. He was later convicted of bias intimidation and invasion of privacy and sentenced to 30 days in jail.

VOL. 17. DA.YTON, 0., SATURDAY, OCT. 13,1860 NO. 23. SELECT POETRY. [selected.] Willie^JDead. Enter the darkened chamber with a slow and noiseless tread, For the idol of our household, onr darling Wil¬ lie's dead; j, Ilia little hands are folded above his peaceful breast. He's free from pain and sorrow, his spirit ia at rest Tho tiny curls of paly gold cling 'round the maible brow, ^ And o'er the eyes so mildly blue, tho waxou lids droop low; nis little lisping voice is hushed, its joyous tones no more Will greet our ears beside the hearth, or'round the cottage door, Tho dainty shoes iu which we used to oaso his chubby feet Are lying idly on tho floor beside his cushioned seat; His pretty toys are scattered about the nursery floor. His littlo crib is vacant—he will never fill it more. He will kneel no mora beside it like some bright angel fair. And with dimpled hands uplifted breath forth hia infant prayer; He ueemed like some bright sunboam, strayed down from heaven above. To fill our lonely home with light, our hearts irith holy love. Butnow he has returned again to his Father's home on high. To wear a richer diadem than monarch e'er can buy; And though our darling's left us, and our an¬ guish none can tell, We'Hbow subservient to His will "who doeth all things well." We'll lay him in the church-yard 'neath the tall and waving grass. Whore daisies lift their modest heads to greet us aa wo pass; Ami when our day of life ia spent, and we are called to go, Wii'll strive to meet our darling in a land that's free from woo. ORIGINALITIES. Written for the Goapel Herald. The XXIV of Matthew. W. B. II. Thoro ia, perhaps, no other chapter from Genesis to the Apocalypse which has a more momentous signification, and whose true interpretation is more intimately connected with tho destiny of man, than the xxiv of Matthew. It ia a chapter, about which opposite aud antagonistic opinions havo been stren¬ uously advocated and maintained. It is a chapter, which by a modern pop¬ ular interpretation is made to bend to a favorite system, a system which con¬ sist chiefly of one idea, viz: that of devising ways and means to escape a future judgment and accountability; ¦which opinion is promulgated by tju^ nicrous -fly-trap arguments, that are axiously received by thoso wishing to avoid future amenability; a system whose avdoca'tes evidently mistakotho punishment of a wicked and rebellious nation, (consisting of, at most, but a few millions of souls, a more fragment ofthe human family,) the end of a dispensation,iLnd the destruction of a city, for the end of the w.orld, und final con¬ summation of all things. The conversation, questions and an¬ swers between tbe Savior and tho class of apostles whom ho was train¬ ing, for the future dissemination of the Gospel; evidently occurred near the close of his ministry; most likely during tho last year of his sojourn on earth. He sat on the mount of Ol¬ ives, and the disciples said, "Toll us when shall those things bo? and what ghall bo tho sign of thy coming and ofthe end of the world," There is evidently embodied in this language, at least two distinct questions: both of which, are answered with as much distinctness and perspicuity, as is us¬ ual in prophetic language. The Savior begins by warning them to beware of false Christs Ver. 4: 5. Josophus informs us there wero many. Among them, was an Egyptian false prophet, who led thirty thousand men into the desert, who were cut off by Felix, the Eoman Procurator. Also Dositheus, Simon Magus, Theu- das, &o. In the Gth verso great commotion and perplexity is spoken of. Tho his¬ torian is awaro of the fact, that imme¬ diately preceding the destruction of Jerusalem tho greatest agitation pre¬ vailed in the Eoman Empire; and that four Emperors, viz: Nero, Galba, Otho aud Vitollius, came to violent deaths within eighteen months, Cali gnla had previously commanded the Jews to put his Statue in tho Temple, which they refused to do, and he threat¬ ened, but his death prevented hia do¬ ing anything. In the 7tl;. ",;»¦:¦< and rumors of wars aro mention..!. The Jews and Sy rians contended at Cosarea, for the right of the city, and twenty thousand Jows -were slain, and the city cleared of its inhabitants; and the Jews, di viding themselvos into parties, plun dered and burned the neighboring cit¬ ies with immense slaughter, the Sy rians destroying equally, Josephus says, each city was divided into two .armies, Theso things occurred at Scythopolis, Acalon, Ptolomais and the Syrian cities in general, as well as at Alexandria. The samo veiss speaks of famines, pestilences ilfcc. Tho famine predicted by Agabus ( Act XI—28,) and mentioned by Snetonius, Tacitus and Busebius, came to pass in the days of Claudius Cesar, and was so severe at Jerusalem that many perished for want of bread. Josephus coincides, in giving a true exposition of this chap¬ ter; much depends on the ma,nner in which the prououn " You or Ye is used. If we use it specifically, thero aro in¬ surmountable difficulties in the way. In tho the 9th vorse it is said:' "Then shall they deliver you up to be afflic¬ ted, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.." If we use this word in its specific signiacation,,rit is. scarcely possible to conceive of the fulfillment of this verse: "ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake," since it ia not probable, that all nations did or could hoar of Christ or his apostles in so short a time, inasmuch _as^ the apostles nearly all perished within a' half century after the crucifixion; therefore, they coidd not hate Christ or his followers. Again, in tho 15th vorse, "When ye shall see tho abomination of desola¬ tion, spoken of by Daniel the prophet," &c. This abomination was the de¬ stroying armies of Pagan Eome, un¬ der Titus, that surrounded Jerusalem for the final punishment of the Jews, and the abolition of the Mosaic econ¬ omy and tho burdensome templo- worship, to give for Eomo tho new Covenant. Now since two-thirds of the apostles wero dead beforo tho destruc¬ tion of Jerusalem, and never saw this Pagan army and abomination that maketh desolate; therefore, it is in-. compatible with the tru6 prinoiplas of interpretation to use "you" or "yo" specifically. But if we uso "you" in its generic sense, that is; that when the wSavior spoke to his disciples and said "ye shall be hated of all nations," he evidently meant, not only the few to whom ho was then speaking; but all his follow¬ ers in all time to come. "Tell UB when shall those things be and what shall be the sign of thy coming, ar.d of the end of the world? Viewing, critically the his¬ torical, social and moral condition of the world, at the time those questions were propounded as well as a minute observation of all the circumstances intimately connected with the siege of tho city of Jerusalem; and its final destruction, no man, whoso mind is not prejudiced, biased in favor oHihat system of intorpretation of tho pro¬ phetic language of this chapter, which makes every thing bend to his predi¬ lection in tho establishment of the one idea, ean foi' one moment bo so illoificar as to claim that it was all fulfilled at tho destruction of Jerusa¬ lem. Signs and wonders, are spoken of as happening simultaneously with tho downfall ofthe Jewish nation, and the scattering of the onco chosen peo¬ ple of God. Lotus see what history says on tho subject. Josephus says, "a remarkable star antl blaKing comet stood over tho, city for a year. At the feast of unleavened broad on the eighth of the month Niban, a great light shone around the altar, and illu minated it with supernatural splendor for the space of half an hour. A hei fer, as she was lod to the sacrifice by tho priest, brought forth a lamb, Tho great gate of the temple, which took twonty men to move it, opened of it self, and was with diflSculty shut again. Chariots and troops of sol¬ diers in armor were seen surrounding cities in the clouds. On the day of Pentecost, as the priest was about to enter the inner court of the temple, at night, thero was a great quaking and an audible voice said,, "Let us go hence." Also, a certain man, named Jesus; tho Son of Ananua, four years before the war commenced, began to cry; woe! woo to Jerusalem, woe to the bride and the bridegroom, woo to people, and although whipped by Al- binus the Procurator, until his bones were laid bare; yet he never complain¬ ed, nor spoke hard words of those who scourged him, and thus continu-1 ed day and night, until near the end of the siege,, when he suddenly cried out, woo to my self, and was instantly kill-1 ed, by a stone thrown from the en¬ gines of the Eomans, These were some of the melancholy indications, and sure evidences, that the visible and glorious symbol of di¬ vine presence, which had so long char¬ acterized the Jewish worship, tho She- ciiiNAii, was about to depart forever. The UriviiiTid Thummini, was no longer, by the supernatural brilliancy ofthe je-vvels in tho breast-plate of tho High Triest, to manifest the approbation of the God of heaven; but for their great wickedness the nation was utterly abandoned to its enemies. Such were the circumstances that accompanied tho destruction of Jerusalem, and such, the end ofthe Mosaic Dispensation.— He who claims these events for tho second coining of Christ, has no evi¬ dence whatever, to sustain the position; for, in tho literal demolition of tho temple, and the abolition of the tem¬ ple, are not to bcfound the signs which were to accompany the return of tbe Savior to the earth the second time. It is said (verse 29) "Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the aun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not givo her light, the stars shall fall, and the powers of heaven shall bo sha¬ ken," Now, since tho sun was not darkened, and the moon d'ldnot refuse to give her light, and the stars did not fall, and powers of the heaven were not shaken, therefore tho immediato harbingers of Christ's coming were NOT given, since it is evident there can bo no misttike about it when it does happen; for the Savior said: "As the lightning which shineth from the east to the west, even so shall the coming of the Son of man be." Also, He shall send His angels with tho great sound of a trumpet, and gather .His elect from tho four winds of heaven. And then, shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and then shall all tribes ofthe earth wonder, and thoy shall see the Bon of man coming in tho clouds of heaven with power and groat glory. Who is prepared to say, that all tribes mourned at tho dostructioa of Jerusalem; Or that they (aWfn6eso/f/t« earth) saw the Son of man coming in tho clouds of heaven, with power and great gloiy? No consistent, sane man will make such an assertion. He may, for the sake of maintaining his favorite theory, and of beautifying a fine-spun sophistical hypothesis, say he believes it, and against his own convictions of truth, promulgate such an argument, if by so doing he can banish the idea of a judgment to como. Tho Savior said that neither he, nor the angels of heaven knew of ihat hour, but hia Father only. Eemember the question, "When shall those things be?' The temple is destroyed, the Jews are dispersed, scattered to the four ¦winds, and Jerusalem is still being trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times .of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Luko XXI: 24. Eighteen centuries havo fled away, and yet the Jews are still in thraldom, Luke says : ''When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift np your heads," Of the apostles, but two or three re¬ mained. James had been slain by tho sword, Peter and Paul had perished during Hero's persecution. The rest, like comets, in eccentric orbits, had wandered far from the focal point, or

Great... But only 1 oz compartments
By Babyfood junkie
from Toledo, oh
About Me Parent of Two or More Children
Comments about KidCo Freezer Tray 2-pack:
I purchased these trays and then purchased several more. Although they are only one oz compartments, I love the lids. I was using ice cube trays and plastic wrap prior to this purchase. Food stays fresher if I forget to transfer portions into freezer bags. Vey easy to clean too, even with blueberries. No staining.
good but I dont like the portion size.
By devyn & camryn's mommy
from monmouth county nj
I use this to store baby food that I make. It's a great product, but each serving is not enough for my 5month old. I definatly like this product overall.
Easy to Clean
By Mom of Cutest Baby
from Appleton, WI
About Me First Time Parent
This tray is working well so far. It has not cracked when I try to get the cubes out. It is true that it only makes small servings but I find I like this better. I bought 2 so I make one type of food and fill up both, then the next day I pop them out, clean the tray, and cook up something new. This way I always have a variety in my freezer and can easily mix and match flavors. It is very easy to clean and has not stained (even with orange foods!) It seals tightly and is easy to label.
Great quality
By Mama Kimmy
from Long Island, NY
Had been using regular ice cube trays to freeze the baby food I make but the serving size was never quite right and sometimes the food would get a little freezer burned covered only with tinfoil. These containers seal airtight, are easy to label (and re-label), and freeze a perfect serving size for my 7 month old. They are quite durable and well-made---will probably last me through a few kids!
By military mom on the go
from Fort Rucker
Love these trays I plan on getting more so I can store twice as much. I can freeze them in the trays and they pop out easy for the perfect serving size.
Love this!
By Pawlak
from Bolingbrook, IL
I make my baby's food and I bought this with the intention of trying it out. It is so easy to freeze it and pop one out when I need one. It's so easy that I am going to continue making my baby's food.
Buy a good erasable pen
By Louise
from IL
It's difficult to crack some of the cubes out without rubbing the marker off the label, but it works like it says all the same. It doesn't crack exactly like an ice-tray, but it comes out okay.
Great with kidco feeding dish
By Paul
from Monmouth Junction, NJ
Great with kidco feeding dish...just pop out of the freezer tray and into the feeding dish. Also, they are stackable.
Terrible, don't bother
By Jfrosty
from Milwaukee, WI
These were a complete waste of money. They broke after a couple of uses. The food doesn't come out easily at all. Buy a silicone ice cube tray or mini muffin pan, then you can pop the food right out pushing on the bottom. Then just store in a freezer bag.
Nice for most foods
By SAHM to 2
from SW Missouri
I would suggest buying a few sets if you have 2-3 days a month that you make baby food I get on a roll and I have to wait until the cubes are frozen to continue. I have a hard time getting the cubes leveled off so I can get them out easier because it is easy to overfill. I just put in bigger freezer safe bowls after frozen for storage. I would make sure you label as you go since I sometimes forget what is in there and peaches look the same as plums and apples.
By Tami
from Northeast PA
These are great! They fill, stack, empty, and clean very easily!

perfect trays for baby food
By Sari
from Mesa, Az
I love the sizes of the portions you get with these trays. My only complaint is that they are a little hard to pop out of the trays because the plastic is so heavy duty. Otherwise, works great and easy to clean. The lids make stacking easy too.
Works great

These trays work great. They stack nicely, food comes out well, and they are easy to clean. I am very happy with this product!
Great Portions Trays
By Auburnmom
from Jacksonville, FL
These are very easy to use and I like that they come with a lid. I make sure the food I make is room temp. before I put it in freezer. My child is 6 months old and and just starting to eat solids and one cube is a great meal size for him right now.

- What kinds of signs are prohibited in the state rights-of-way?
- Are any kinds of signs allowed in the state rights-of-way?
- Who do I call to complain about a sign in the state rights-of-way?
- Why is the county not doing something about signs on the state rights-of-way?
- Are political signs at polling places allowed?
- Are there restrictions for signs on private property?
- What is the Fairfax County Sign Task Force and what did they do?
1. What kinds of signs are prohibited in the state
Va. Code Ann. § 33.1-373 (2005) provides that
[a]ny person who in any manner (i) paints, prints, places, puts or affixes any advertisement upon or to any rock, stone, tree, fence, stump, pole, mile-board, milestone, danger-sign, guide-sign, guidepost, highway sign, historical marker, building or other object lawfully within the limits of any highway or (ii) erects, paints, prints, places, puts, or affixes any advertisement within the limits of any highway shall be assessed a civil penalty of $100.
An advertisement is defined in Va. Code Ann. § 33.1-351 as
any writing, printing, picture, painting, display, emblem, drawing, sign, or similar device which is posted or displayed outdoors on real property and is intended to invite or to draw the attention or to solicit the patronage or support of the public to any goods, merchandise, real or personal property, business, services, entertainment, or amusement manufactured, produced, bought, sold, conducted, furnished, or dealt in by any person; the term shall also include any part of an advertisement recognizable as such.
2. Are any kinds of signs allowed in the state rights-of-way?
There are limited exceptions to the prohibitions in Va. Code Ann.
§ 33.1-373. These exceptions are set forth in Va. Code Ann. § 33.1-355
(2005), and they include, among other things, farm produce sale signs,
official notices or advertisements, signs erected by the Commonwealth
Transportation Commissioner, historical markers erected by public
authorities, and signs erected by the Red Cross relating to emergency
3. Who do I call to complain about a sign in the state rights-of-way?
Call the Virginia Department of
Transportation at 703-383-8368, TTY 711. The Commonwealth
Transportation Commissioner is responsible for enforcing the
provisions of Va. Code Ann. § 33.1-373, which prohibits the placing
of advertisements in the state rights-of-way.
4. Why is the county not doing something about signs in the state rights-of-way?
Only the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner or his agent has the
authority to enforce the state code as it pertains to signs in the state
Fairfax County does not have jurisdiction over the state
rights-of-way and is not currently authorized under state law to
remove signs within the state rights-of-way.
5. Are political signs at polling places allowed?
Yes. During the times the polls are open and ballots are being counted,
political signs may be placed outside official polling places, but
they are not permitted within 40 feet of any entrance of any polling
place. Va. Code Ann. § 24.2-604 (Supp. 2007).
6. Are there restrictions for signs on private property?
Yes. Article 12 of the Fairfax County Zoning Ordinance sets forth
restrictions on the size, location, and, in certain instances, the
length of time signs can be posted. For specific information, please
contact the Department of Code Compliance at
703-324-1300, TTY 711. Ask for the planner-of-the-day. More
information is also available online at
7. What is the Fairfax County Sign Task Force and what did they do?
The Fairfax County Task Force was appointed by the Fairfax County Board
of Supervisors in August 2000 to examine current practices and
enforcement procedures regarding illegal signs within and along the state
rights-of-way in the County, investigate other jurisdictions' best
practice methods in dealing with illegal signs, and return with
recommendations or suggestions the Task Force may have regarding
amendments to the Code of Virginia or the Fairfax County Zoning
The Task Force completed its study and presented its Final Report to the
Board of Supervisors on September 22, 2002. Subsequently, as
recommended in the Final Report, the General Assembly amended
Va. Code Ann. § 33.1-375.1 to permit the Commonwealth Transportation
Commissioner to enter into an agreement with the Board of Supervisors
of Fairfax County authorizing the County to act as the Commissioner's
agent for the enforcement of Va. Code Ann. § 33.1-373, subject
to the restrictions set forth in Va. Code Ann. § 33.1-375.1(C). These
restrictions allow campaigns signs and special events signs to remain in
place for three days after an election or special event. Furthermore, all
other signs and advertising would be permitted to remain in place for
three days. At this time, the Commissioner has not entered into such an
agreement with the County.

So, on Oct. 12, the 25-year-old gave his mother, Christina, her second donated kidney. She received her first from her husband, Carl, in 1997.
Christina Smalley said there's no way she can repay her husband and son for what they've done for her.
"I feel very much loved and very appreciated," she said. "There are no words to express the gratitude I feel. It brings tears to my eyes."
An article about Christina Smalley's first kidney transplant appeared in The News-Herald on Dec. 26, 1997, just three days after her surgery. The front page of that edition, which featured the Smalley's story, was included in the book, 125 Famous Fronts of The News-Herald from 1879-2004.
A donor kidney lasting nearly 15 years is very good for a transplant, Christina Smalley said.
"What happened this time was I got really sick and was unable to keep the medicine down that stops (organ) rejection for the transplant," she said. "The kidney ended up failing and we started another search."
When he heard his mom was going to need another kidney, Edison Smalley contacted United Health Hospitals and said he wanted to give his mom his kidney.
He said the doctors told him to be a better candidate he needed to lose weight, so he dropped 50 pounds. After nearly a year involving multiple rounds of tests and blood screenings, the doctors told Edison his kidney would be compatible.
Convincing his mom, however, was another matter. Continued...
"I tried to talk him out of it, but he was down and determined to make sure I stayed around," Christina Smalley said.
But, as all parents know, sometimes the kid just won't listen.
"They said it was going to be harder on me, but that's my mom and I haven't seen her not sick in a very long time," Edison Smalley said. "I really wanted to see her get better. I remember her from being a kid when she was 100 percent healthy. It hasn't been like that in a while."
The Smalleys used to live in Mentor but have since relocated to Northfield in Summit County.
In 15 years, the procedure of kidney transplant has changed drastically. Christina Smalley said Carl, her husband, has a scar running halfway around his torso, but her son had just four small incisions each a couple inches long.
"My dad looked at my stitches and said, 'Wow.' It is so different from when he donated," Edison Smalley said. "I do remember what he went through when I was 10. He was lying on the couch and I am up an moving around. I can't do as much as I'd like to, but it's a lot less than he went through."
Christina Smalley has thought about becoming a spokesperson for organ donation.
"The first time I was only 32 years old. This time I'm quite a bit older. I would love to tell people how wonderful it is," she said. "It's a gift of life."
Unlike 15 years ago, Christina and Edison Smalley said hospitals now promote a living donation program that is a donation chain. Such programs can involve multiple sets of donors and receivers from across the country.
"You get higher on the (donor) list that way and you're not waiting for a cadaver donor to be available," Christina Smalley said. Continued...
Deciding to be a donor is a significant choice, but Edison Smalley said having someone you care about be able to live longer is priceless.
"What is it worth to you to see someone you care about healthy again? I'm hurting now, but I'll get better," he said. "I look at my mom, and if I hadn't done anything she wouldn't get better. To me it was something I had to do."

Center for Ecology & Natural Resource Sustainability
Lush with lakes, wetlands, and forests, Kent State University and the surrounding Northeast Ohio area are rich in natural resources. The mission of the Center for Ecology and Natural Resource Sustainability is to promote an understanding of the natural environment and its resources through:
- scientific research
- education of students at Kent State University and beyond
- programs to restore and preserve the integrity of natural areas
To accomplish these goals, the Center serves as a focal point of organization for both people interested in ecological issues and the natural areas owned by Kent State University. Here you will find information about the research and educational opportunities in Ecology, Environmental Science, and Natural Resource Sustainability at Kent State University and the surrounding Northeast Ohio area.
Featured Activities
New Agreement Signed between Kent State and Cuyahoga Valley National Park
The new Memorandum of understanding signed between Kent State and Cuyahoga Valley National Park complements Kent State's membership in the national Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit, making Kent State and national parks eligible for expedited collaborative opportunities. Read more about the new MOU here.
Enhancing education and research in our natural areas
One of the main goals of CENRS is to help coordinate education and research activities on Kent State property. In Summer 2012, we began an inventory and description of natural areas owned by Kent State, which includes valuable wetlands and mature forests. The inventory will be made available through reports and a GIS database, and is the starting point for more organized activities in these areas.
In Fall 2012, the project will be expanded with a grant from the Dominion Foundation Higher Education Partnership. We will be establishing a geospatial database to store environmental data collected on properties owned by Kent State and elsewhere. The database will provide access to data from within GIS software and through a spatial interface on the internet. As students and researchers deposit data into the database over time, it will develop into a rich bank of information that can be used for temporal studies, in spatial visualization, and to link different types of data.Service learning activities
In Spring 2012, Sarah Kitson and Jenna Martin served as service learning liasons, assisting faculty to design and implement service learning activities in their courses. Community partners hosting the service learning activities include Portage County Parks and the Western Reserve Land Conservancy. The program is a partnership with the Collaborative Learning for Environmental Action Network (CLEAN).
Last Spring, the presentations and activities organized by these service learning liasons exposed 179 students enrolled in four classes to applications of environmental science in the real world. The Spring courses included "Forestry" and "Conservation of Natural Resources" taught by Dan Ross, and "Invertebrate Zoology" taught by Ferenc De Szalay. In addition, a unique special topics course was set up to take advantage of the opportunity presented by this program: "Special Topics: Service Learning in Environmental Biology" co-taught by Drs. Ross and De Szalay. Sarah has stayed on for Fall 2012 and is organizing activities for additional classes.

NAACP Mourns Passing Of Rep. Donald Payne
- Post 23 March 2012
- By Atlanta Daily World
- Hits: 308
By Special to the Daily World
BALTIMORE, MD – The NAACP mourns the loss of Rep. Donald Payne, the first and only Black congressional member from New Jersey and former national chairman of the NAACP Youth Work Committee. He was 77.
"From his early years working with the NAACP to his extensive career in the United States Congress, Payne displayed courage and compassion for the common man," stated NAACP Chairman Roslyn M. Brock. "He expanded the conversation about AIDS prevention to include our brothers and sisters in Africa, and always remembered that we are one human family. His leadership will truly be missed."
"Congressman Payne was a thoughtful leader committed to results rather than bluster," said NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous. "His humanity shone through on issues from poverty at home to genocide and health crises abroad. He was a stalwart defender of the underprivileged wherever he went."
"Congressman Payne was a champion of the NAACP's bread-and-butter civil rights agenda during his 23 years in Congress," said Hilary O. Shelton, director of the NAACP Washington Bureau and senior vice president for Advocacy and Policy. "He was a dear friend of the association and a fierce advocate for justice in the United States and around the world. From Newark to the Sudan, Congressman Payne was a hero to those seeking justice."
Payne worked with the NAACP Youth Chapter while he was a student at Seton Hall, and chaired the NAACP Youth Work Committee while he was a student at Rutgers University. He has received the NAACP Community Service Award and is a Golden Heritage member of the NAACP.
Payne was elected to Congress in 1989 to represent New Jersey's 10th Congressional District. He served as chairman of the House Subcommittee on Africa, as well as chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.

VoltDB Enterprise Edition
May 22, 2013
This document provides information about known issues and limitations to the current release of the VoltDB Enterprise Edition. If you encounter any problems not listed below, please be sure to report them to email@example.com. Thank you.
The Enterprise Edition contains all of the capabilities and components available in the Community Edition, plus additionally licensed features designed for enterprise customers. In particular, the Enterprise Edition includes:
VoltDB Enterprise Manager, a web-based management console for creating and managing VoltDB database clusters
A REST API for managing databases programmatically
Command logging
Database replication
Live rejoin
The VoltDB Enterprise Edition installs in the same way the VoltDB Community Edition installs, by unpacking a tar/gz
archive. The Enterprise Edition tar file is LINUX-voltdb-ent-3.2.1.tar.gz
and unpacks into a folder
called voltdb-ent-3.2
.1. For example:
$ tar -zxvf LINUX-voltdb-ent-3.2.1.tar.gz -C $HOME
Note that the Enterprise Edition is self-contained; you do not need to install the the Community Edition first.
The VoltDB Enterprise Edition is commercially licensed software. When you purchase the Enterprise Edition, you will be provided with a license file that must be installed before you can use the Enterprise Manager. See the section called "Applying Your Enterprise License" in the VoltDB Management Guide for instructions on how to apply the license you receive.
The recommended platform for production use of VoltDB is CentOS 5.8 or later, CentOS 6.3 or later, Ubuntu 10.4 or 12.4, and Sun JDK 6 Update 21 or later. Macintosh OSX 10.6 and later is supported as a development platform. However, there are certain configuration options in the base platforms that are important when running VoltDB.
When upgrading from a previous version of VoltDB — especially with an existing database — there are a number of important notes that you should be aware of. Some changes to the structure and syntax of the VoltDB schema and deployment files may make old application catalogs and configuration files incompatible with newer versions.
Although incompatible changes are avoided wherever possible, some changes are necessary to add new features. It is always recommended that applications catalogs be recompiled when upgrading the VoltDB version. It is also important to note that the catalog is saved as part of snapshots and command logging. As a consequence, you must be careful to ensure an incompatible catalog is not loaded accidentally by starting a database with the recover action after an upgrade.
The process for upgrading VoltDB for a running database is as follows:
Place the database in admin mode using the @Pause system procedure (or VoltDB Enterprise Manager).
Perform a manual snapshot of the database (using @SnapShotSave).
Shutdown the database (using @Shutdown).
Upgrade VoltDB.
Recompile the application catalog using the new version of VoltDB.
Restart the database using the create option, the new catalog, and starting in admin mode (specified in the deployment file).
Restore the snapshot created in Step #2 (using voltadmin restore).
Return the database to normal operations (using voltadmin resume).
When using the Enterprise Manager, it is also recommended that you delete the Enterprise Manager configuration files
(stored by default in the .voltdb
subfolder in the home directory of the current account) when performing
an upgrade.
Users of previous versions of VoltDB should take note of the following changes that might impact their existing applications.
All existing VoltDB users are strongly recommended to upgrade to version 184.108.40.206 or later at their earliest possible convenience. These releases contain two major fixes:
A race condition was discovered as part of our ongoing internal stress tests. The issue, which could impact procedure invocation and exists in all versions prior to 3.2, is not known to have been encountered "in the wild". However, the potential consequences are severe enough that we recommend all users upgrade as soon as possible.
A problem exists in previous releases related to the use of live schema updates. If the new schema adds or removes columns from a unique index, the update can cause the database to stop running and make the command logs unusable for recovery.
For users of pre-3.0 releases of VoltDB who cannot or do not wish to upgrade to the latest version, a patch, version 126.96.36.199, correcting these issues will be made available shortly. The patch will be announced on the VoltDB web site in the news & announcements forum.
1. Release V3.3 | |
1.1. | Non-Blocking Statistical System Procedures |
Previously all VoltDB system procedures operated as database transactions. That is, system procedures executed as multi-partition transactions with two consequences:
Since statistical procedures do not change the state of the database, they are now executed separately from database transactions. This applies to the system procedures @Statistics, @SystemInformation, and @SystemCatalog. The consequences of this change are that the statistical system procedures have significantly less impact on database performance and, although the resulting statistics are not transactionally exact, they are an accurate reflection of overall database performance at the time the procedure executes. More importantly, it is now possible to get information about database operations even when an errant stored procedure or server is blocking other database operations. | |
1.2. | Outer and Explicit Joins |
VoltDB now supports outer and explicit joins. Previously, all joins were implicitly inner joins (using a comma-separated list of table names). You can now use explicit join syntax to specify either inner or outer joins on specific columns using the ON or USING clause. The new syntax for the SELECT statement is as follows:
For this initial release, outer joins support the joining of two tables only. Explicit and implicit inner joins support joining more than two tables. | |
1.3. | Improved String Parsing in Web Studio |
Web Studio allows you to invoke stored procedures on a running database, entering procedure arguments as text. Previously, Web Studio had some difficulty parsing strings containing multiple embedded quotation marks. Argument parsing has been enhanced to support arbitrarily complex strings. | |
1.4. | Planner Improvements |
This release includes a number of improvements to the planning of SQL statements. In particular, improvements have been made to how indexes are applied under various conditions. | |
1.5. | VoltDB Enterprise Manager Network Interface |
For systems with multiple network interfaces, the VoltDB Enterprise Manager automatically listens to the specified
port on all interfaces. You can now tell Enterprise Manager to use only one interface by specifying the IP address on
the command line with the $ ./enterprise_manager.sh -p 8989 -a 10.12.14.16 | |
1.6. | Security Settings in VoltDB Enterprise Manager |
To enable security using VoltDB Enterprise Manager, you must check the "Enable Security" checkbox on the Create/Edit Database dialog and you must upload a deployment file containing user account definitions. In previous versions, any subsequent changes to the database configuration would silently remove the user definitions. You had to upload the user definitions every time you modified the configuration to keep the user definitions active. This bug has been fixed. Enterprise Manager now maintains the last uploaded user definitions when other configuration changes are made. To change the user definitions after they have been uploaded you must explicitly upload a new deployment file containing only the user definitions that you want to use. | |
2. Release V3.2.1 | |
2.1. | @SnapshotStatus Reports on all Cluster Nodes |
Previously, the @SnapshotStatus system procedure only returned results for the server processing the request, not all nodes in the cluster. Starting with this release, a call to @SnapshotStatus returns status information for all nodes in the cluster. | |
2.2. | Obfuscating Passwords in the Deployment File |
By default, when enabling security the deployment file contains definitions of users and passwords. These definitions are included as plain text. If your environment or operating procedures require the deployment file to be secured against observation, you can preprocess the file to obscure the passwords using the voltdb mask command. These processed deployment files can then be used to start the VoltDB database. The syntax for the voltdb mask command is as follows: $ voltdb mask deployment-file [new-deployment-file] If you specify one file name, the file is processed in place. If you specify two file names, the first is used as the input file and the second as the output file. The processed deployment file contains an additional attribute on the <user> tag, plaintext="false" indicating to the VoltDB server that the passwords have been obscured. | |
2.3. | Improved Compiler Annotations |
When VoltDB compiles the database schema, it displays a summary of the stored procedure queries as part of the compiler output. This output includes annotations identifying the type of procedure (read vs. write and single vs. multi-partitioned), potentially slow queries due to a sequential table scan, and possible dangers introduced by non-deterministic output. Several of these annotations have been changed to improve readability. The read/write annotation has been changed to [READ] and [WRITE] and [Seq] has been changed to [TABLE SCAN]. | |
2.4. | Improved Catalog Difference Report |
When replacing the catalog on an existing database, the VoltDB Enterprise Manager displays a list of differences between the two catalogs to help you verify the changes are correct. Previously, the report only identified added or removed tables and procedures. The report now also identifies tables and procedures that have been modified, changes to security settings, and the requirements for the update. That is, whether the database must be stopped and restarted or the update can be done while the database is running. | |
3. Release V22.214.171.124 | |
3.1. | Correct Live Schema Updates that Change Unique Indexes |
This release fixes a critical bug where updating the schema "on the fly" could cause the database to stop and make the command logs unusable for recovery. The issue only affects application catalogs that change a unique index by either adding or removing columns from the unique index (or primary key). Because of the seriousness of this bug, all users are strongly urged to upgrade to the latest version at their earliest possible convenience. Until you upgrade, avoid updating the database catalog while the database is running if the update changes unique indexes. Note this issue only affects live updates. You can still update the schema using a maintenance window by performing the following sequence of commands: save, shutdown, create and restore. | |
4. Release V3.2 | |
4.1. | Enhanced Support for Live Schema Updates |
It is now possible to make many more changes to the schema "on the fly" — while the database is running — than in previous versions. You can now add, delete, or modify columns and indexes as well as tables. The only remaining limitations are that you cannot add a new constraint to an existing column or index and you cannot modify the definition of an existing view. (However, you can add and remove views.) With this new functionality, the ability to perform line schema changes becomes a commercial feature. In other words, starting with V3.2 the @UpdateApplicationCatalog system procedure and the voltadmin update command are available in the Enterprise Edition only. | |
4.2. | Improved Performance and Resilience of Catalog Updates |
In addition to new capabilities in live schema updates, the updates themselves have been improved in terms of performance and resilience to node failures. Updates to large catalogs, especially those with many stored procedures, are significantly faster than in previous versions. In addition, the update process has been hardened to avoid problems if a node fails during an update. Warning concerning previous versions: If you perform catalog updates using previous versions of VoltDB, it is recommended that you take a snapshot prior to and immediately after the update as a precaution in case of database failure. Command logs and other durability features may be in an inconsistent state following a catalog update and before a new snapshot is taken. This issue is corrected in the current release. | |
4.3. | New Return Status for Snapshot Restore |
It is possible for a snapshot restore (using the voltadmin restore command or @SnapshotRestore system procedure) to partially succeed. For example, if the schema has changed since the snapshot was created or some snapshot files are missing, only part of the data may be restored. Previously, this condition was reported as success with details about what succeeded and what failed in the VoltTable response. To avoid confusion with a complete and successful restore, this function has been changed to report an error, OPERATIONAL_FAILURE, if one or more tables or partitions are not restored. | |
4.4. | Change to the Default Heartbeat Timeout |
The default heartbeat timeout has been increased from 10 seconds to 90 seconds. In production, it has been found that network and process contention issues can make VoltDB mistakenly exceed the 10 second timeout, resulting in still functioning nodes being timed out. As a result, the default has been increased. A consequence of this change is that it will now take longer for actual node failures to be recognized by the rest of the cluster, potentially stalling transactions until the failure is detected. You can change the timeout period using the <heartbeat> element in the deployment file or in the configuration dialog of the VoltDB Enterprise Manager. See the appendix on server configuration options in the VoltDB Management Guide for details. | |
4.5. | Bug Fixes |
The following issues have been fixed:
| |
5. Release V3.1 | |
5.1. | Database Replication Support. |
V3.1 includes production-ready support for Database Replication (DR). The changes to transaction coordination introduced in V3.0 required a significant rewrite of the DR functionality. As a result, the initial V3.0 release included a beta release of DR only. This release returns DR to full operational status. Users who stayed with earlier VoltDB releases to use DR in production are now encouraged to upgrade to V3.1. | |
5.2. | New CAST() Function |
V3.1 introduces a new function, CAST(), that lets you convert the datatype of an expression. CAST() can be very useful when performing operations on column values or function results that are not in the appropriate datatype. For example, you can use CAST() to convert the results of the FIELD() function, which always returns a string, to a numeric datatype. See Using VoltDB for more information. | |
5.3. | Additional JSON Functions |
V3.1 also includes additional functions for traversing JSON data. The ARRAY_LENGTH() and ARRAY_ELEMENT() functions return the number of elements in a JSON array and a specific element from that array, respectively. These functions can be combined with other functions to retrieve specific items within the JSON structure. For example, to following SQL fragment retrieves the first element of an array in the JSON field named "options" from the column JSONDATA: SELECT ARRAY_ELEMENT(FIELD(JSONDATA,"options"),0) AS first_option See Using VoltDB for more information on using these functions. | |
5.4. | Changes to Log4J Components |
The Log4J messages generated by VoltDB have been reorganized. Messages previously logged under the JOIN component are now logged under REJOIN and a new logger, SNAPSHOT, has been added for logging snapshot activity. | |
6. Release V3.0 | |
6.1. | New Transaction Coordination Architecture |
VoltDB 3.0 includes a new transaction coordination architecture that reduces latency and improves transaction throughput. Some of the benefits of VoltDB 3.0 include lower overall latency, higher throughput, and reduced dependency on NTP. | |
6.2. | Simplified Design and Development Process |
V3.0 integrates much of the database configuration information into the schema, eliminating the need for a separate project definition file. Features that can now be defined in data definition language (DDL) include:
In addition, several new command line tools make the development process simpler and more consistent. New shell commands for compiling, starting, and managing VoltDB databases include voltdb, voltadmin and sqlcmd. | |
6.3. | Other New Features |
In addition to improvements in transaction coordination and the development process, a number of new functional capabilities have been added. New features include:
| |
6.4. | Special Considerations for Existing Customers |
Users of earlier versions of VoltDB should be aware of the following changes in behavior that could impact their applications:
The following are known limitations to the current release of VoltDB. Workarounds are suggested where applicable. However, it is important to note that these limitations are considered temporary and are likely to be corrected in future releases of the product.
The following notes provide details concerning how certain VoltDB features operate. The behavior is not considered incorrect. However, this information can be important when using specific components of the VoltDB product.

Hard-Working, Durable and Priced Right. What's Not To Like?
When it comes to great tools, a "just the basics" approach is often your best bet. So it is with Kawasaki's two-wheel-drive Mule™ 600, a utility vehicle so affordable, so durable and so capable you'll wonder how you ever got along without one. Whether it's wandering through the local woods with a picnic basket in the bed, working an inner-city construction job, or hauling tools, supplies and two adults to a job site on the other side of the ranch, the Mule 600 is up to the job. Even better, the Mule 600 is easily transportable, fitting nicely in the bed of a full-sized pickup.
The Mule 600's wide-ranging usefulness isn't hard to recognize thanks to its strong and reliable single-cylinder engine, easy-to-use continuously variable transmission (CVT), spacious cab, handsome, curved body panel styling, dual-mode rear differential, comfy-riding independent front suspension, strong, steel-tube frame and powerful hydraulic brakes.
User-friendly hardware abounds, and includes automotive-type controls and a gear selector within easy reach on the dashboard, two large cup holders, a passenger-side glove box and passenger grab handle. Even more storage space is located beneath the Mule 600's hinged front hood.
The Mule 600's air-cooled, 401cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine maintains ideal operating temperatures with help from an efficient cooling fan. An enrichener that partially opens the throttle during ignition allows easy engine starts. The Mule 600 can be started in forward or reverse gear, provided the brake is applied, and it incorporates mud flaps by the rear tires to minimize mud clogging the engine area.
Owners will also appreciate the knowledge that the Mule 600 comes equipped with an efficient and durable CVT and a long-lasting drive belt coupled with a dependable, low-maintenance shaft drive system. The dual-mode differential can be locked to maximize traction on slippery or adverse terrain.
The Mule 600 rides on a MacPherson strut suspension up front, while a unit swing-axle handles rear suspension duties. Large 22-inch tires enhance ride quality, and serious stopping power comes via sealed, hydraulic drum brakes on all four wheels.
Bright 35-watt headlights mean the job can start before sunrise or continue after sunset. Increasing its work versatility is a 400-pound-capable tilting cargo bed that features secure, easy to fasten tailgate latches. The Mule 600 can tow up to 1,100 pounds with an optional Kawasaki trailer hitch installed. Other popular Kawasaki accessories available through Kawasaki dealers include an enclosed cab, snow plow, winch, and soft or hard tops.
