Ways for cancer patients and caregivers to cope with cancer, side effects, nutrition, general cancer support issues, grief/end of life issues, and shared survivor's experiences.

I have been given the choice of lumpectomy and radiation vs. Mastectomy. Can you please give some advice to help me make my decision? Is one treatment better than the other?
Gary Freedman, MD, Radiation Oncologist at Penn , responds:
Lumpectomy and radiation have been proven in large, well done clinical trials to result in equal cancer control and survival as mastectomy. However, the key is careful patient selection for breast conservation in order to achieve those good results.
First, a woman must be motivated to preserve her breasts. This means that she needs to have assessment of her future risk, be willing to undergo continued mammogram screening, etc. Some women have strong feeling of not wanting to preserve their breasts, some women feel the opposite and would not do a mastectomy. Many women are in the middle - if medically they are told they have equal survival, which is true in most cases, then they will choose breast conservation.
Second, medically the breast cancer must be eligible for breast conservation. Small early stage cancers up to about 5 cm, single rather than multiple parts of the breast involved, a negative resection margin by the surgeon, no history of prior radiation or condition that would preclude radiation ... these are all conditions that need to be met for lumpectomy and radiation.
In the United States, about 2/3 of women have lumpectomy and radiation and 1/3 have mastectomy.

DarkEden is a horror MMORPG where you get to choose between 3 races: Vampires, Slayers, Ousters. It is very similar to Diablo - if you liked Diablo, you'll love DarkEden!
Game Type: FREE TO PLAY The game is based on the day-night system. Vampires rule the night and slayers/ousters rule the day. This means that vampires are stronger when it's night and slayers/ousters are stronger at day. Max Level: 250 Max Rank: 50 Register: REGISTER HERE Download: http://darkedeneurope.com/downloads/ Website: www.darkedeneurope.com [size=200]Vampires: Information about the vampire race: Can move fast (faster than the eye, so it looks like they're gliding on air) Can drink blood to regain HP, can regenrate from damages such as bullet wounds and blade cuts. Can transform into a bat, wolf or werewolf (lycan). Can become invisible or hide under the ground. Among vampire you can choose between being a melee vampire (close combat) or a mage vampire (requires more strategy to play a mage vamp) Mage vampires = Most known for their torture skills such as blinding spells, paralyze. They can keep you alive just to play with you till they've had enough. Only then they will kill you. Melee vampires = Fast & strong beings whose claws can cut through steel plated armor, bullets are rarely enough to stop one of these creatures. You'll need a rocket launcher. But be careful because they're very fast and hard to hit. Ousters: Ousters are relatives to fairies, they can use the magic of the nature to create powerful spells. Such as teleportation, prison of water, meteors, hellfire and much more. There are 4 classes of ousters: Water, Fire, Earth, Wind (combat) Water = Can control water, and revive/heal other ousters and summon water element that heals you and your friends. Fire = Can control fire, very powerful offensive magic such as hellfire, magma meteors and fierce flame that burns down every living creature. Earth = Can control earth, prison others with slow-down effect and summon huge stone-meteors at your enemies. Wind/Combat = Can control wind elements and use a powerful chakram with a circular blade to slice enemies or summon razor sharp blades that fall from the sky. Slayer (Human) Gunner = Uses automatic rifles, sniper rifles, sub machine guns etc. Can call for satelite bombs and XRL rockets to blast enemies to tiny pieces. Can also enter a powerful turret that is unmovable but with insane firepower. Sworder = Uses sworder & shield, can move really fast and use the power of thunder to strike their enemies. Blader = Uses a big sword, one swing is enough to create a hurricane and blow away a lot of enemies. Healer = A powerful magician that can revive & heal other allies. But can also destroy enemies with a lightning bolt from the sky. Enchanter = A powerful magician that can buff other allies to see invisible vampires, and trap them with strong spells. This is an interesting game with one rule: survival of the fittest. |

Critical Acclaim for The Anatomy of Violence: The Biological Roots of Crime by CNS Faculty Member Adrian Raine:
"Lively, engaging. . . . A convincing case that violent criminals are biologically different from the rest of us. . . . [Raine] has the research at his fingertips—not surprising, since he carried out much of it—and makes a compelling case that society needs to grapple with the biological underpinnings of violent crime just as vigorously as the social causes, if not more so." —New Scientist

Hello everyone,
Yesterday, after finishing working on my store for 3 months, i had everything ready to be launched so i decided to move my store from a subdirectory on my website ( /Catalog ) to the root website.
I didn't follow the instructions found on http://tutorials.zen-cart.com/index.php?article=122 on the first place ( silly me ) so i just moved the entire contents of /Catalog to the root folder.
When i tried to access my store it didn't work of course so i moved all the files back to the /Catalog subdirectory.
Doing that, i guess something "broke" and now i can't see my store and i can't access my Admin Control Panel of my store to change the Session Directory.
I did download the fix_cache_key.php and uploaded it where the index.php file is but when i try to run it it does nothing ( i'm trying to run it my typing http://www.mywebsite.com/Catalog/fix_cache_key.php ).
On the 2 configure.php files located in Includes and Admin/Includes
i have this:
define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'database');
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/content/p/i/x/website/html/Catalog/cache');
All the rest of the DIR_FS inside the 2 configure.php's seem to be correct but i can C/P the entire thing if someone can help me with all this mess that i managed to create.
I would be more than grateful if someone could help me get my store back to working conditions as i'm already way over my promised date of launching the store
Thanks in advance.

In his final shareholder meeting as chief executive of McDonald's Corp., Jim Skinner once again defended the company against activist-shareholder criticism while steering the focus toward progress the brand has made across several lines of business.
Skinner, who will retire at the end of June, presented the state of McDonald's business with his successor, Don Thompson, who pointed out that the chain plans to open as many as 1,300 restaurants worldwide this year. He also reiterated that further growth in the McDonald's system would come from optimizing the menu, modernizing the customer experience and broadening accessibility to the brand.
Among the changes customers could expect in the United States would be a test of decaf and skim-milk options in the McCafé beverage line, as well as more fruits and grains across the menu, Thompson said. He added that the chain's efforts to optimize the menu and broaden accessibility through value engineering would continue to work in tandem.
"We are ensuring that we have something on the menu for everyone at every price point," Thompson said. "We know value is top of mind, so we're emphasizing branded affordability at every price tier."
Despite efforts to focus on progress, the McDonald's executives faced critical questions from some shareholders, including several from watchdog groups that have carried on a dialogue with the brand for several years.
RELATED: Activists aim to boot McD from hospitals
Defending Ronald McDonald
Corporate Accountability International, which presented a shareholder proposal calling on McDonald's to conduct a public study of its food's impact on public health — the measure garnered only 6.4 percent of the vote in favor from shareholders — questioned the company's marketing practices, especially toward children. As part of its Value the Meal campaign, Corporate Accountability has asked McDonald's repeatedly to end marketing to children, as well as to close its restaurants located within hospitals.
Several shareholders from Corporate Accountability pressed Skinner and Thompson on those counts during the shareholder meeting. Skinner replied by pointing out that McDonald's was the first restaurant company to sign on to the Better Business Bureau's 2006 effort, the Children's Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative.
"We advertise responsibly, and we're proud of the changes we have made to our menu. And we've done more than anybody in terms of providing consumer choice," Skinner said.
He added that McDonald's locations in hospitals comprise only 26 restaurants out of more than 14,000 outlets in the United States. "And we were invited to those hospitals," he noted.
Continued from page 1
Thompson defended McDonald's marketing practices toward children and parents, including the use of Ronald McDonald as a brand ambassador, primarily for encouraging active lifestyles in children and as the namesake to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. The Ronald McDonald House facilities host 8,000 families worldwide every day as their children undergo medical treatment, Skinner said.
"I have two children, and I love them dearly, and I would never do anything to hurt them or any other children," Thompson said. "Do me and this company the honor of not associating us with doing something damaging to children. … We understand your concern, but please understand the good we have done."
Progress in humane practices
In a departure from activist shareholders' usual tone toward McDonald's at its annual meeting, one longtime critic acknowledged the company's effort to work toward a solution his organization has sought.
Though he had questioned the company on previous occasions about its supply chain practices, Paul Shapiro, a senior director with the Humane Society of the United States, stood up to commend McDonald's for its February announcement calling for its pork suppliers to phase out the use of gestation stalls.
RELATED: McDonald's hires Shannon Johnson to culinary team
"McDonald's is taking the issue seriously," Shapiro said, "and the Humane Society is pleased to see this progress. We look forward to working together toward even more progress in this realm."
However, other shareholders said McDonald's and other restaurant companies still had much work to do in ensuring humane treatment of animals meant to supply customers' meals.
Another questioner pressed the company to source more of its chicken from suppliers who used the controlled-atmosphere stunning, or CAS, method of slaughtering poultry. Skinner responded that McDonald's buys as much as 30 percent of its poultry in Europe from such suppliers, but the practice has not taken root in the poultry industry in the United States, meaning McDonald's has no immediate plans to modify its domestic supply chain.
"We are very proud of our work around the health of animals in our supply chain," Skinner said. "There is no consensus around CAS in the United States. Some of our suppliers use both methods, but right now there are no major facilities for CAS in the United States. … We'll let our suppliers be the guide on this."
Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald's Corp. operates or franchises more than 33,500 restaurants in 119 countries.

- Administrator
PDP11GUI is an integrated development environment (IDE) for PDP-11's, running under MS Windows.
You can write programms in assembler and load them onto the PDP-11, run programs or single step them, disassemble code, load, dump and display memory and inspect registers.
You can use it in conjunction with SimH to learn about PDP-11's, or you can attach it to a real PDP-11 as an handy hardware investigation and diagnostic tool.
First I've written PDP11GUI for some diagnostic tasks on my 11/44, then it developed its own momentum and kept me busy for nearly a year. And it's still growing.
For download check out the attachement. Then proceed through installation instructions and the tutorial.
The current version of PDP11GUI is 1.31.1.
No switch toggling, no typing?
PDP11GUI is attached to the target PDP-11 console over serial line (COM port) or over telnet.
The system console gives you complete control over a PDP-11 by implementing just a few commands: You can examine and change ("deposit") memory locations and also CPU or controller registers. And you can run and stop programs, or single step through code. With those few basic features you would do tasks like
check and understand how the CPU executes code.
type-in bootloaders in binary form
checking presence of hardware like disk controllers or memory cards
testing devices by manipulation controller register bits
starting bootloaders from several devices

get notified if the processor halts.
Early computers had consoles which consisted of lights to indicate addresses and data content, and switches to toggle in addresses and data words. (The "Reset" button and the power LED on modern PC's are the last remain of a "blinken light console") While those are very fascinating to look at, they really are a pain to work with. So they were replaced by video terminals attached to serial RS232 lines, and a console processor which controlled the main CPU on user input. This is called "ASCII-console", and if a machine has one, an external PC can connect to it via serial line. The PDP-11 is under complete software control by an IBM PC then.
Ken Olsen would not like it ...
There are many flavours of serial consoles in the DEC world, but they are mostly doing the same. PDP11GUI supports these:
The 11/34 has a limited serial "console emulator", which mimics very closely the switch operations on their physical console.
The PDP-11/44 has a quite elaborated console, implemented with an independent micro controller. (Here is a good documentation).
QBus PDP-11's (11/03, 23, 73, 93) have a so-called "ODT" (octal debugger technique) consoles. They are running on the PDP-11 processor itself, so they are somewhat limited.
SimH's command window implements lot of functions, but has also the basic Examine/Deposit/Run/Halt/SingleStep command set in its own syntax.
Look at all those windows!
PDP11GUI has a modular design. Function is distributed on many small "tool windows". In good DEC-style those tool windows form an "orthogonal instruction set", meaning the functionality of the tool windows does not overlap, and for most task you need more than one tool window. Enough abstraction! I implemented those tool windows:
a Connection window, which let you connect to the target machine in several ways.
a Terminal window, which shows the data traffic to and from the PDP-11 console. You may also use it to type directly commands to the console and look at the unfiltered answers.
The Register window lists a set of register addresses of a physical device (CPU, cache, disk controller and the like) in symbolic form. Symbol information is held in a "machine description file". There are as many Register windows as are defined in the machine description file.
Four blocks of consecutive memory addresses each are shown and edited in the four Memory windows.
Often a peripheral register contains not a single scalar 16 bit value, but is segmented into different bitgroups. The Bitfields window shows and edits those bitgroups. The bitfield information is held in the machine description file as well.
It is synchronized with the Memory and Register windows. -
For writing assembler programs, source code can be loaded, saved and edited in the MACRO-11 Source window. A MACRO-11 clone can be called to translated the program source.
Output of a MACRO-11 run is shown in the MACRO-11 Listing window. There you can transmit the generated code to the target machine's memory.
The Execution Control window allows executing the program. There are Reset, Run, Halt and Single-Step buttons. The current execution address is also highlited in the MACRO11 source, MACRO11 listing and Disassembly window.
The Disassembly window shows disassembled code around an selected address. It's synchronized with the Execution Window.
The Memory Loader window contains logic to load data from external files into memory. Several file formats are implemented.
The Memory Dump window contains logic to dump data from memory to external files. Several file formats are implemented.
Loader and Dumper together can be used as a file format converter. -
The Memory Management window shows the state of the "virtual to physical" memory map unit of later PDP11's. This is important, because addresses for program executions are virtual 16 bit addresses, but register adresses for loading program code into pdp11 memory are physical 22 bit addresses.
The I/O Page Scanner window scans every even address in the I/O page and reports existing addresses.
The Disk Image read/write window allows to transfer disk or tape images between host PC and PDP.11.
The 11/44 µCode window shows in detail the function bit groups for all micro instructions of the 11/44. If you micro step through a single PDP11 instruction, you can get an understanding of the CPU's internal operation.
The 11/70 Console panel window let you operate PDP11GUI through a the console panel of a PDP-11/70.
Finally a Log window tells you what PDP11GUI did so far.
Some general features
The serial interface to the PDP-11 console is pretty slow. A simple click onto an button like "Examine All" can generate a lot of serial traffic. Keep an eye onto the Terminal window.
It is possible that one single memory location is displayed in more than one tool window. If such a memory location is changed, it is updated in all visible tool windows automatically.
All numbers are octal numbers.Physical addresses are 18 or 22 bit width, depending on the connected target machine.
The tool windows can be resized and repositioned and keep their place on the screen between sessions. If data tables are shown, their columns widths can be individually adapted to the grid's content, this also is persistent.
If you have edited a memory location, so that its differerent from the locationss value on the PDP -11, its always higlighted in yellow:
For educational purposes, you can demonstrate user interface techniques from three different ages:
From the beginning to the mid of 1970's, users had to use "light & switches" consoles. (Console panel window)
In the golden PDP-11 area, mid 1970's to 1990, the ASCII video terminal console was used (Terminal window)
Since then, Windows-based GUIs were state of the art. (PDP11GUI itself )
PDP11GUI Installation
- Details
- Parent Category: Tools
- Category: PDP11GUI
- Administrator
PDP11GUI comes as a self installing "SETUP.EXE".
The installation contains those files
- "pdp11gui.exe" is the core program
- "macro11.exe" and "pdp11disas.dll" are helper programs for MACRO11 assembly/disassembly. They are needed for PDP11GUI to work. They are Copyright by others.
- "pdp11.exe" is the special version of SimH (more).
PDP11GUI can run without it, it is in the package for convenience. Copyright by Bob Supnik. - "pdp11.ini" is a prototype machine description file. Use it as template for your own one.
- The "*.mac" are several short MACRO-11 source f iles. These are the helpers from "Hints on testing a dead PDP-11".
- "EY-C3012-RB-001 PDP-1144 Processor Maintenance Supplementary Listings (microcode) Apr-81.txt" contains the micro code listings for 11/44.
Because of Vista compatibility, I was forced to conform to Microsoft standards:
- All executables are installed into "%ProgramFiles%\Joerg Hoppe\PDP11GUI".
"%ProgramFiles%" may expand to "c:\programs". - All text files are treated as user documents and are installed in
"%USERPROFILE%" may expand to "c:\documents and settings\" - All text files are overwritten on the next update installation, so keep local copies, if you change them!
PDP11GUI Tutorial
- Details
- Parent Category: Tools
- Category: PDP11GUI
- Administrator
After installation of PDP11GUI, you might follow this tutorial:
I. First steps
- Explore the online documentation on this web site, then return to the tutorial.
- Open menu "File/Load machine description" and choose the generic file "pdp11.ini" ... this should do it for the first time. Open the "I/O page" menu and check out, what devices are defined now. All entries looking like "registers" were just loaded.
- Verify "Connection/Settings/PDP-11 target" is set to "Internal PDP-11/44 fake"
- Bring up the Terminal window (Connection/Terminal). You are connected to limited fake of an 11/44 console. Arrange it on screen.
- In the Terminal window, play with E(xamine) and D(eposit):
"E " shows a memory word.
"D " sets a memory word.
Remember: everything is entered octal. Addresses are always 22 bit wide.
For example, "D 1000 1234" sets memory address 1000 to 1234. "E 1000" show the content of address 1000. - Open the Memory/Mem1 tool window, arrange it on the screen, adjust column widths. Set "start addr" to "1000" and press "Set". The grid is loaded with all addresses from 1000 to 1176. You can change grid cells and press "Deposit changed" to update the memory.
The Terminal window shows the data traffic from and to the PDP-11. - Open the CPU register window (I/O page/CPU registers) and press "Examine all". Open the Bitfields window (I/O page/Bitfields). Click in the "Value" column of Register "PSW" and check, how the Bitfields window displays PSW bitwise.
Click on other CPU registers, and Bitfield changes. Change the Processor Status Word PSW in the CPU register window. Change PSW as a whole word, or bit wise in the Bitfields window.
II. Connect to SimH
- Start SimH (PDP11.EXE). Default is running a 11/73 with 256MB RAM.
- In PDP11GUI, open "Connection/Settings" and set
PDP-11 target = "SimH over telnet",
Telnet port="2000" (or any other port you like)
Do not press OK yet! - In SimH's command window type "set stdio telnet=2000" (or the port number you choose).
Quickly go back to PDP11GUI and press the OK button in the Settings window. - Then you should see SimH's command window in PDP11GUI's Terminal window
- Type "help" and see SimH responding. To disconnect SimH from PDP11GUI, type "set stdio notelnet".
- If the connect to SimH fails, try to connect to SimH over telnet with another terminal emulator program.
- Repeat the steps in I.
III. Debug a MACRO-11 program
- Stay connected to SimH
- Open the MACRO11 Source window, the Execution Control window, the Disassembly window, and the CPU register window (all in menu "Programming"). Arrange them on screen.
- In MACRO11 Source, open one of the *.mac -files, best is "memsizing.mac".
Read the comment in the header, visit the authors page. - In Execution Control window, set "Initial PC" = "1000". This is the address of the "start:" label in "memsizing.mac".
- In Execute Control window, press the big "New program ...." button. This will translate "memsizing.mac" with MACRO-11.
- The source is translated, the MACRO11 Listing window pops up, and in the Terminal window you can see how the code is DEPOSITed into memory
- Press "Examine All" in the CPU register window.
- Step through the "memsizing"-program. Press Single Step in the Execution Control window. Check out how this translates to SimHs "STEP 1" command in the Terminal window. See how the Program Counter marker in the MACRO11 Listing window is moved. See the display of the Disassembly window being updated. Watch the changed registers R0, SP and PC by pressing "Examine All" in the CPU register window.
- Repeat step 8. You see the program working.
- Press "Continue". The program runs until a trap or HALT occurs. The Execute Control window should register the HALT.
IV. Connect to a real PDP-11
- Get a standard null modem cable and connect the PDP-11 to your PC.
(If you need a serial-to-USB-adapter, those with FTDI chip have the best reputation.) - Set Settings/Connection to "Physical PDP-11/xx over COM port", choose the correct COM port and baud rate.
- Try to access the machine over the Terminal window. Type something and verify the machine responds as expected.
- Repeat the steps in I. Verify that your PDP-11 is responding correctly to PDP11GUIs EXAMINE/DEPOSIT attempts.
When doing EXAM/DEPOSIT manually in the Terminal window, be sure to use the commands valid for your actual machine, not those for the 11/44 used in step I.
If this does not work, I must build a console adapter for your machine into PDP11GUI. Feel free to contact me! - Repeat the steps in III.
V. Console panel play
In this tutorial, you will run a program with input and output only over the simulated PDP-11/70 console.
- Connect to SimH again, as in Step II.
- You need to simulate an old PDP-11 with console display register.
In the Terminal window, type "set cpu 11/70" in SimH. You are now using a PDP-11/70. - Open the windows for MACRO-11 program execution, as in Step III.2.
- In MACRO-11 source window, open the program "sum.mac".
This program sums up all natural numbers from 1 to n and displays the result on the console panel.
The formula is: s = n * (n+1) / 2
n is input over register R3. Output sum 's' is 32 bit. On program HALT, the upper 16 bit of s is displayed on the "DATA" LEDs. After continuation, the program HALTs again and shows the lower 16 bit of s on the "DATA" LEDs. - In the Execution Control window, press the "New program" button. The program is loaded. You surely will not do this over the panel!
- Open the console panel over "Tools/PDP-11/70 panel".
- Prepare the panel:
- Click onto the image of the upper rotary knob, until the LED "CONS PHY" is ON.
- Click onto the lower rotary knob, until LED "DATA PATHS" is ON.
- Set all switches to their standard position, they must look like the white switch.
- Click slowly onto the white switch, and verify that all lamps are burning! - Set the program start address to 1000.
- Enter "1000" on the data switches (set only switch 9).
- Press "LOAD ADRS"
- The value 1000 is displayed in the ADDRESS LEDs. - The value for 'n' is input over the DATA switches and the switch register. We first try to sum up all integers 1+2+..+100. 100 is octal "144"
Enter "144" on the data input switches by only setting switches 6, 5, and 2. - Start the program. The start address has been loaded in step 8.
- Be sure that "ENABLE/HALT" switch is on its upper position "ENABLE"
- Press "START". The program starts, calculates the sum and stops at a HALT instruction. While the program is running, the "RUN" LED is on. - Let the panel show the result, which was written into the "Display Register"
- Click onto the lower rotary knob, until the "DISPLAY REGISTER" LED is ON.
- The "DATA" LEDs show now the upper 16 bit of the result. They are all black ... the result is < 2^16. - Continue program execution to get the lower 16 bit of the result.
- Click onto the "CONT" switch
- the "DATA" LEDs show the lower 16 bit of the result. It is octal "11672"
- Start the Windows calculator "calc.exe", set it to "scientific" mode.
- Set base to "octal", enter "11672", set base to "decimal" and ... voilà:
The sum of 1..100 is 5050, just as the young C. F. Gauss calculated over 200 years ago! - Since the start address remains unchanged at 1000, you can toggle in another value for 'n' and press START and CONT again (repeat from step 9.)
VI. Further steps
In Step I., the generic machine description file "pdp11.ini" was loaded. To get most benefit from PDP11GUI, you should create a copy of this file for the I/O cards you plugged into your special PDP-11 backplane (see here). Use the I/O page scanner and document all listed addresses in the machine descrition file. This requires some hour's of searching in the DEC documentation, but it will really pay off!
Please forward me any new devices you added to the machine description file. Then I can include them into the next release of PDP11GUI !
And while you're into it, write a SimH script to simulate your machine.
The MMU window, the Microcode window and other tool windows were not part of this tutorial. You can use PDP11GUI without them. Explore them and the concepts behind when there's nothing on television. Take a look onto the "Disk Image" window.
PDP11GUI Connection window
- Details
- Parent Category: Tools
- Category: PDP11GUI
- Administrator
The Connection window lets you choose how PDP11GUI should connect to a target machine. After the connection is established, you should see the target machine's console prompt in the Terminal window.
At the moment, you can connect to one of these target machines:
- A primitive simulation of a 11/44 console. It is built right into PDP1GUI. Only main memory and Examine/Deposit commands are implemented. This can be used as selftest for PDP11GUI, or to get familiar with the tool windows.
A baudrate can be set to simulate the timing between PDP11GUI and the target machine. - Primitive simulations of ODT machines with different address widths.
- A PDP-11/44 attached directly to one of the COM-ports of the PC on wich PDP11GUI is running. This is the most straight-forward configuration. You need an null-modem cable.
- A PDP-11/44 attached to "serial-to-telnet-server". The serial line of the PDP-11/44 goes into the COM port of a networked PC, who is running a Telnet server and routes the COM port to the TCP/IP world. The PC PDP11GUI is running on connects to the telnet server. "Serial to telnet-server" converters are also available as dedicated hardware, mostly for industrial applications.
I use this configuration, because my PDP-11/44 runs in the basement side-by-side with my fileserver. My office is on the 2nd floor, so a serial connection is difficult, but a network connection already exists. - 16-Bit ODT machines like11/03, over serial connection or over telnet.
- 18-Bit ODT machines like11/23, over serial connection or over telnet.
- 22-Bit ODT machines like11/53, over serial connection or over telnet.
- SimH over telnet.
You need a special version of SimH (see here). SimH has a command window which implements "Deposit/Examine/Run/Stop/Single Step" in a manner somewhat similar to the PDP-11/44. To connect PDP11GUI to the SimH command I/O window in telnet mode, do this:
1. in SimH, issue "set stdio telnet=
SimH is waiting 10 seconds for an incoming connection.
2. in PDP11GUI, call the connection settings window (see above).
Then you can control SimH over the terminal window
3. to release the connection to SimH, type in the terminalw indow:
"set stdio notelnet"
After this, SimH accepts command input over its own console window again.
Needless to say: Use the highest possible baudrate!
The current connection settings are shown in the Terminal window's title.
PDP11GUI Terminal window
- Details
- Parent Category: Tools
- Category: PDP11GUI
- Administrator
The Terminal window is a simple terminal emulation. It is directly connected to the bidirectional serial line over which data is exchanged with the target machine.
You can use it in two different ways:
- You can type directly to the target machine console, and receive directly answers. So the terminal window is a replacement for a serial video terminal.
- The complete data traffic between PDP11GUI tool windows and the target machine is logged in the terminal window. So you can see what PDP11GUI "types" and "sees" whenever one of the tool windows does its job.
The Terminal window is not an implementation of VT100 or VT52, it understands no control codes. It is as a simple as a teletype.
The current connection settings are shown in the title bar.
Right click brings up a pop up window wich lets you Cut&Paste. The common short cuts Control-C and Control-V can not be used because at least Control-C must be routed to the target machine to break into running programs.

Dept. of Labor Investigation Uncovers Wages Owed to Abilene Nurses, Aides
By: News Release, US Department of Labor
Updated: April 11, 2012
"There was seven people sitting at a long table. They gave us a piece of paper. When I read the paper, it was just basically talking about if we signed the letter and accepted the check, we wouldn't sue them," said Kerrie Helmuth, one of the 318 people the company owed.
Helmuth formerly worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Abilene's Windcrest Alzheimer Care Center. She said she got a check for $638 she was owed at the end of last year.
"This company took advantage of its employees by not paying them for all hours worked," said Cynthia Watson, regional administrator for the Wage and Hour Division in the Southwest. "Health care workers are among the lowest-paid employees in the nation, and this employer profited by paying these vulnerable employees less than they were legally due under the Fair Labor Standards Act."
An investigation by the Wage and Hour Division's Abilene Field Office found that the company deducted one hour from employees' pay for lunch periods, even though employees took only half-hour breaks for lunch. Because these unpaid hours were not included in employees' total time worked, overtime hours - those worked beyond 40 in a week - were not correctly calculated or compensated.
Sears Methodist Retirement System President and CEO Keith Perry said that happened as a result of some employees being put into the payroll system incorrectly.
"We caught that error and had already corrected it when the audit was done, but yes, it did happen. We did away with that, we went back to a manual system so now the employees company-wide must clock out for lunch and clock back in," Perry said.
Back wages also were found due to one employee because illegal deductions had been made for uniforms that caused the employee's pay to fall below the federal minimum wage. Finally, the employer failed to maintain accurate time records.
Investigators found violations at the Wesley Court Methodist Retirement Community, Mesa Springs Retirement Village and Health Care Center, and Windcrest Alzheimer Care Center.
In addition to paying all back wages owed, Sears Methodist Retirement System has agreed to comply fully with the FLSA in the future.
The FLSA requires that covered employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 for all hours worked, plus time and one-half their regular rates, including commissions, bonuses and incentive pay, for hours worked beyond 40 per week.
In general, "hours worked" includes all time an employee must be on duty, or on the employer's premises or at any other prescribed place of work, from the beginning of the first principal work activity to the end of the last principal activity of the workday.
Additionally, the law requires that accurate records of employees' wages, hours and other conditions of employment be maintained.
For more information about the FLSA and other federal wage laws, call the Wage and Hour Division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243) or the division's Dallas District Office at 817-861-2150. Information also is available at http://www.dol.gov/whd.

Summary of The New Sweater
Reviews for The New Sweater
An Excerpt from The New Sweater
A brand-new series and cast of characters from the mind of Oliver Jeffers The Hueys are small and mischievous, unique compared to the world's other creatures--but hardly unique to one another. You see, each Huey looks the same, thinks the same, and does the same exact things. So you can imagine the chaos when one of them has the idea of knitting a sweater! It seems like a good idea at the time--he is quite proud of it, in fact--but it does make him different from the others. So the rest of the Hueys, in turn, decide that they want to be different too! How? By knitting the exact same sweater, of course! The first in a series of child-and-consumer-friendly books, Oliver Jeffers proves that standing apart can be accomplished even when standing together. |

Starting on April 15th, ITS implemented the process of switching UNI accounts from using passwords to passphrases. Instead of having at least three UNI accounts with separate passwords that expire every 90 days, you will now use a single passphrase that expires after a year. Please note that the change will be made once your current password is changed on or after 4/15/2013. You will need to change it to a longer passphrase and use it to log in to your UNI computer (and labs), your UNI Gmail, WiFi-UNI, e-Learning, e-Business (formerly MEMFIS), etc. The Computer Consulting Center (273-5555) and some local IT support staff are able to reset your passphrase.
For more info please see...ITS Recommended Passphrase Standards
The Security Office in ITS-Network services has become aware of multiple attempts to conduct social engineering attacks against UNI employees. The attack originates as an off-campus phone call purportedly from a technical support person and they attempt to instruct the user to install malicious software on the computer claiming that the software is needed to fix the computer. This software can then be used to steal information stored on the computer, to conduct further attacks, or to participate in other illegal activities.
A variety of intersession technology integration workshops, hosted by ITS-Educational Technology, will be offered throughout the week. Sessions will focus on technology's role in teaching and learning. Workshops will address topics related to blended and online learning, Bb Learn & integrated third party tools, accessibility in online learning, ifolio (UNI's eportfolio tool), the Rod Library Learning Commons project, polling technologies, plagiarism prevention technology, and more.
Rod Library, in partnership with other campus units, is seeking to develop space in the library building into a learning commons. The learning commons will be a student-centered physical and virtual learning space designed for optimal learning in groups or individually. The reconfigured space will be designed to be open, comfortable, inspirational, and practical. This survey will help us gather information from the campus community (students, faculty, and staff) about technologies, services and furnishings that will meet the needs of 21st century learners and researchers.
Change is coming to Rod Library. If you've been in the library lately, you may have noticed that the area behind the Reference Desk, on the 2nd (main) floor, looks different. This space will be transformed into a new learning commons. A Learning Commons Task Force has been appointed to research what a learning commons looks like at other universities and to get the ball rolling. Membership on the committee includes representatives from ITS-User Services and ITS-Educational Technology staff as well as Rod Library faculty and staff.
Faculty, please see newly-scheduled workshops for August and September on ITS-Educational Technology's online Faculty Workshop Calendar Workshops are offered on Bb Learn 9, Google Apps, Panopto, Lynda.com, and integrating library resources in eLearning. Technology integration work sessions are also scheduled, with instructional designers available to assist you.
ITS, Rod Library and the Office of Assessment will team up this summer to offer several workshops for faculty on using technology for teaching, research and assessment. View the schedule and sign up online.
ITS will offer two workshops that will demonstrate the new features of the Panopto 4.1 upgrade. If you're currently using Panopto and would like to learn more about the new features, or if you'd like to learn more about classroom capture technologies, sign up for a session online. The workshops are from noon to 1 p.m., Tuesday, March 20 or Thursday, April 5.
UNI is migrating from Oracle Calendar to Google Calendar. Google Calendar is part of Google Apps and has been available to users since the migration to Google Mail.
The annual Spotlight on STEM day is Thursday, February 23, 2012. The focus of the Spotlight Day is on science and math projects that integrate technology in the PreK-12 curriculum. The Spotlight Gallery (table displays) will be open from 9:30 - 11:30 am. There will be Spotlight Presentations (20 min presentations, every 30 min) from 1:30 - 3:30 pm. This is a great opportunity to hear about authentic applications of science and math in PreK-12 classrooms and to talk with teachers and students to get their perspective of learning with hands-on, inquir

Tea Party Support Sought by Missouri's U.S. Senate Hopefuls
Also, find out why Newt Gingrich may not be a fan of the St. Louis Zoo, and we have links to this weekend's congressional district caucus events.
The tea party movement's activism may have helped tip the 2010 election cycle to Republicans, especially since dedicated volunteers helped Republicans win the U.S. House and close the gap in the U.S. Senate. So it's no surprise that candidates—including the three major Republicans running for the U.S. Senate in Missouri—are trying to gather support from tea party organizations and political figures.
But one of the interesting aspects of the movement is its inherent decentralization—no one entity speaks for everybody. For instance, former state Treasurer Sarah Steelman announced a few weeks ago an endorsement from Tea Party Express, a California-based group that touts itself as the "nation's largest tea party political action committee."
"One of Tea Party Express' top priorities in 2012 is to elect a conservative majority to the U.S. Senate," stated Amy Kremer, the group's chairman, "and we are confident that Sarah Steelman is the candidate in Missouri best suited for the job."
Almost immediately, a number of Missouri-based groups cried foul—arguing that Tea Party Express doesn't speak for individual organizations scattered throughout the state. And Steelman's chief rivals have since picked up support from notable political figures within the movement.
Most recently, U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, R-Wildwood, announced the support of U.S. Reps. Steve King (R-IA) and Michele Bachmann (R-MN). The latter, of course, recently embarked on an unsuccessful presidential campaign.
"These dear friends and colleagues of mine are a few of the most staunch defenders of liberty," Akin said in a statement. "I am proud to stand with them and I am very grateful for their support in this important race. We must take back the Senate in 2012 and change our current path before Obama and McCaskill shift all power to a central government and fully strip us of our freedoms."
And as noted earlier, Frontenac businessman John Brunner snagged the support of U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson. The Wisconsin Republican is seen as one of the best examples of how the tea party made a mark during the 2010 election cycle.
Not everyone is jumping into the tea party ring.
Caitlin Legacki, spokeswoman for the Missouri Democratic Party, noted in a news release that the three candidates "continue to leapfrog over each other to appear most conservative to primary voters, showing reckless disregard for middle-class families." In particular, she criticized the three candidate's positions on taxes.
The Saint Louis Zoo made national news this past week when it was revealed that one of its baby penguins bit former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. It happened as the presidential hopeful toured the zoo around the time of last weekend's NRA convention.
Gingrich—who is still in the race even though he is unlikely to catch former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney—has a well-known soft spot for animals. He even created a Web page that allowed supporters to post pictures of their furry friends, complete with a page with Gingrich in front of a baby polar bear.
The zoo, by the way, is not on Gingrich's list of favorites.
While the GOP Presidential primary is all but over, Missouri Republicans will still convene for congressional caucuses on Saturday. Information about caucusing locations in the state is available online.

How has this tea-party thing gotten confusing? Support different folks if you want, but don't get confused.
The basics:
Do you think a failure should be given more or less responsibility?
Do you think that the economy is better when the people have money to spend, or better when government takes all their money & decides how to spend it for them?
Do you think it's a good or bad idea to invite the world's largest CONSUMER into every situation to become the middle-man, and do you understand the results of such a practice?
There are more people than ever before in this country, paying a higher rate of taxes than ever before, and the government still thinks you owe them something... Do you think this is the right direction or not?
Are your rights yours or up for negotiation?
Do you think the states need the federal government, or does the federal government need the states?
Do you understand what has happened to American school-system since the late 70's & early 80's?
Do you know who crashed the housing market (on purpose) twice?
Do you know HOW? (Fair Housing Regulatory Act)
Do you want the government to spend your grandchildren into poverty & potential socialism?
Do you know that it's the only direction bigger government & more spending can possibly take you?
There is your tea-party test.
PS- When they call you names for the way you answered, then you know you're on to something. No matter how they pronounce it, it just means American.

While many of your points are dead on, the only years since World War I with lower tax rates were 1926 to 1931. (And we know what those tax policies led to.)

The launch of the biggest video games of the year was only enough to lessen the long-running slump in retail video game sales.
U.S. game industry receipts were down 11% in November, the month that saw the debut of such hot titles as "Call of Duty: Black Ops II," "Halo 4" and "Assassin's Creed III" -- the top three titles of the month, in that order. Searching for a silver lining, NPD Group analyst Liam Callahan noted that "November had the smallest year-over-year decrease we have seen for dollar and unit sales so far this year."
Microsoft's Xbox 360 was the No. 1 console for the 16th month straight, selling 1.26 million units.
Nintendo launched its new Wii U on the Sunday before Thanksgiving and sold 425,000 units by Saturday, Nov. 24. That's slightly less than the 475,000 units that the original Wii sold in its first week on sale in 2006.
However, the Wii remained a decent seller this holiday season, moving 420,000 units in November.
The Japanese game giant's portable 3DS sold 540,000 units, compared with 370,000 for the standard DS.
Sony did not immediately release sales data for its PlayStation 3 or PS Vita devices.
Half of all game sales in November were for the Xbox 360, Callahan said, a gain of eight share points over the same month in 2011.
Other games that sold well in November included "Just Dance 4," "Madden NFL 13" and "Skylander Giants." Toys tied to "Skylanders," which let children play with characters from the game, were a hot item. Accessories for "Giants" were up 250% from those tied to the first "Skylanders" game from publisher Activision Blizzard Inc. last year.
Declines in new video-game sales at retail don't reflect the growing digital market, rentals or used games, which together account for about half of industry revenue.
Video games sold during November in the U.S.
- "Call of Duty: Black Ops II" (Activision Blizzard)
- "Halo 4" (Microsoft)
- "Assassin's Creed III" (Ubisoft)
- "Just Dance 4" (Ubisoft)
- "Madden NFL 13" (Electronic Arts)
- "Skylander Giants" (Activision Blizzard)
- "Need for Speed: Most Wanted" (Electronic Arts)
- "NBA 2K13" (Take 2 Interactive)
- "FIFA Soccer 13" (Electronic Arts)
New 'Call of Duty' grosses $500 million on first day
New 'Call of Duty' fastest game in history to reach $1 billion
'Skylanders,' 'NBA 2K' lead another weak month for video game sales

So, Shia Muslims are allowed to be married temporarily. I've come across this concept a couple of times in books and online, and it seems like a weird one to me.
How common is the occurence of temporary marriage? Why would anyone do this?

Moment of reckoning for Super Rugby hopefuls
15 Jun 2011
Keo.co.za looks at the permutations that will shape the semi-finals and play-off race.
Four teams could potentially host a semi-final and in doing so, earn a much-needed rest weekend. Furthermore, the scrap to get into positions five and six will make for compelling viewing, with the Bulls-Sharks fixture on Saturday the big one.
What follows are all the potential scenarios, broken down by individual teams.
- Win in Bloemfontein against the Cheetahs ensures a home semi-final.
- A bonus-point win and Reds defeat without them picking up two bonus points, and the Cape side will finish top.
- Defeat to the Cheetahs and a Crusaders win will see them drop to third, unless the Sharks or Bulls win by an inconceivable margin to steal the conference.
- Draw without a four-try bonus point and a Crusaders victory and they will finish third.
- Win over Chiefs in Hamilton secures top spot.
- Defeat without a losing bonus point, and a Stormers five pointer, means they'll drop to second. That's the lowest they can finish, even if the Crusaders win with a bonus point to end level on 62pts (the Reds will have had more wins, which is the primary criteria to separate sides who finish level on points).
- A draw is enough for them to finish first on the combined log.
- Beat the Hurricanes in Wellington and they win the NZ conference, guaranteeing they finish no lower than third. The highest they can end is second, given that, even if the Reds lose, they still won't overtake them for total wins.
- Defeat for the seven-time champions and a victory for the Blues in Auckland means the Blues will top the NZ conference.
- Defeat without a losing bonus point would see the Bulls overtake them if they take a full haul from Loftus.
- A four-try draw against the Canes and victory for the Blues would see the NZ conference decided on points difference. The same scenario, but with a five pointer for the Blues would see them clinch the conference.
- The Blues will hope for the Hurricanes and Cheetahs to do a job on the Crusaders and Stormers. If those teams lose and they win against the Highlanders in Auckland, they will finish second and host a semi-final.
- However, even if they bank five points, but the Stormers lose with two bonus points, the highest the Blues can finish is third.
- A straight draw (i.e without scoring four tries) will see whoever wins at Loftus overtake them, while a draw with a four-try bonus point means that the Bulls will have to get all the points on offer to finish above them. In the same scenario, the Sharks would have to win with a bonus point and then hope for a superior points difference to finish fourth.
- The defending champions will secure a place in the play-off with victory.
- Realistically, the highest they can finish is fourth. Technically they could still win the conference but would have to beat the Sharks by a country mile and hope the Cheetahs restrict the Stormers and score plenty against them.
- If they lose and the Waratahs win against the Brumbies in Sydney, the Bulls are out.
- If they draw and the Waratahs win they'll finish sixth.
- If the Waratahs lose without a bonus point, even if Victor Matfield's men lose, they are assured a play-off place.
- However, if the Waratahs lose with two bonus points, and the Bulls lose with none, the Bulls' tournament will be over.
- A win seals a place in the play-off. Like the Bulls, realistically the highest they could finish is fourth.
- If they lose and the Waratahs win they're out.
- In the event of a Waratahs win, a draw could still see the Sharks qualify, provided they manage a four-try bonus point and denied the Bulls one.
- If the Sharks and Waratahs drew, the former would have to hope the Sydney side don't do so with a four-try bonus point, in which case points difference would decide the final play-off spot.
- If they win, they will qualify for the play-offs.
- Defeat without any points means they watch the play-offs from their lounges.
- If they lose but collect a point, they must hope that the Sharks go down at Loftus without any bonus points. However, two points in defeat in the same scenario would see them qualify ahead of John Plumtree's men.
- A draw will see them sneak into the play-offs provided that if the Sharks lose, they do so having picked up no points.
- If the Durban franchise do pick up a losing bonus point, and the Waratahs achieve a straight draw, points difference will decide the sixth placed finisher.
- In any scenario where the Waratahs finish level on points with the Bulls, the Pretoria franchise will qualify ahead of them based on their superior number of wins.

15 Jun 2011, 07:25 amAll to play for with 1 game left!
15 Jun 2011, 07:25 amsome breaking news…
Bulls to make a massive bid for Johan Sadie.
And Stormers look set to sign Francois Hougaard for 2012 campaign
15 Jun 2011, 07:28 am@grant10(grant10)-1: Did you watch the baby boks last night Grant?
15 Jun 2011, 07:30 am@grant10(grant10)-3: I'd rather keep Sadie.
Although I'd really like to get Hougaard too.
15 Jun 2011, 08:20 am@stormersboy(stormersboy)-4: missed it mate
15 Jun 2011, 08:33 am@grant10(grant10)-6: Some great prospects for the future. Eben Etsebeth had another big game, drove the ball up really well, also buldozed over for a try. He's going to be one for the future for sure. He also stands head and shoulders above all the other players, Ireland and SA, literrally.
Carr, the young WP player also played a great game, and Goosen the Flyhalf put over a drop goal from our own half that would make Francois Steyn envious.
All in all a good Springbok performance, although Ireland looked great running with ball in hand. Some Brian O Driscoll replacements in that team for sure!
I see new Zealand are looking formidable with a 90 odd points win too, so it'll be a very interresting contest come semis etc.
We still have to play England in our group who are level with us on points, having won 2 and also collected 2 bonus points along the way.
They are next up I think.
15 Jun 2011, 08:54 am@stormersboy(stormersboy)-7: He is big hey. I reckon he stands at 203 cm. I commented on the Baby Boks thread that he will be the first bok Tygerberg High will produce. They came close with Frank Wagenstroom but he only went up till U/21 level. He is now playing Tygerberg RFC.
When is the England game?
15 Jun 2011, 08:57 am@stormersboy(stormersboy)-7: yep, saturday @ 20:00 while the stormers take on the cheetahs!
the bokkies played well but i think they need to be tight on the discipline side of things cause we GIFTED them easy 12pts in the 1st half by conceding silly penalties – goosen needs to learn how to roll away after a tackle, got pinged twice for the same thing.
plus a bit of counter-rucking would've worked quite well, as the irish players were falling on the wrong side and this preventing the ball from being placed & getting away with it.
but all in all an encouraging performance!
15 Jun 2011, 09:16 am@Transformation(Transformation)-9: I saw that from Goosen. Where is he currently contracted? The unions must be itching to sign him.
15 Jun 2011, 09:17 am@Sasuke(Sasuke)-8: mail me at email@example.com. I will send you a photo that shows just how big he really is.
15 Jun 2011, 09:47 amI think you should rather keep that one to yourself.
15 Jun 2011, 09:54 am@stormersboy(stormersboy)-10: I stand to be corrected but I'm sure the commentator said he was contracted to Cheetahs?
He made a 67 metre kick a short while back, that drop kick of his was excellent! -
15 Jun 2011, 09:55 am@stormersboy(stormersboy)-10: Free State. He seems loyal though.
15 Jun 2011, 10:03 am@foreverrugga(foreverrugga)-13: This kid will be a Bok soon.
15 Jun 2011, 10:05 am@stormersboy(stormersboy)-10: cheetahs
15 Jun 2011, 10:05 am -
15 Jun 2011, 10:08 am@stormersboy(stormersboy)-7: thanks for feedback!
15 Jun 2011, 10:10 am@Sasuke(Sasuke)-15: He definitely looks like potential Bok material at the moment, hopefully he can go all the way. I also think Eben Etsebeth is playing damn well.
15 Jun 2011, 10:12 am@stormersboy(stormersboy)-10: Yes he is contracted to the Cheetahs, and quite a few of their age group players have been selected for the CC, and could give some nice depth going into next years Super 15

Also a possibility of Boom Prinsloo currently playing with the 7′s being used. hercu is Tiaan Liebenberg's younger brother, and PW van Vuuren, was chosen as the players player at a coaching course in NZ last year.
Looks promising!
15 Jun 2011, 10:12 amGoosen is contracted by the Cheetahs…however, with Sias playing the way he does, I won't be surprised seeing him with a Cheetahs contract playing for Griquas…
15 Jun 2011, 10:13 am@Cheetah 4 Eva(Cheetah 4 Eva)-20: A bit bare at lock isn't it? I rate Wilhelm Steenkamp and F.Uys, but after that?
15 Jun 2011, 10:28 amAgree, though Walti Vermeulen and Izak vd westhuizen are coming along nicely, they have just been injured. Hope roodt stay with the Griquas!
15 Jun 2011, 10:30 am@thesaint(thesaint)-21: He will stay, he is only 19, still lots of time for him to develop.
15 Jun 2011, 10:31 am@Cheetah 4 Eva(Cheetah 4 Eva)-20:
Viljoen and Pretorius are big losses, they brought a new dimension to the Cheetahs.
I also wonder how long Harold and co will hang onto the Ebersohns.
15 Jun 2011, 10:47 amso many permutations heading in to the last Round of S15. And THEN the Playoffs and Finals.
The Conference system may not be perfect but its hard to disagree that it provides so much more excitement for so many more fans at this stage of the season. The big cheeses at SANZAR will be, no doubt, desperately hoping the Waratahs make it thereby ensuring each nation has 2 teams to capture as much fan interest and sponsorship coverage heading in to the Semis and beyond.
15 Jun 2011, 10:50 am@willievz(willievz)-25: Yes, It's interesting that once again a host of Cheetahs players are on the shopping lists. The Cheetahs are arguably the biggest producer of senior rugby talent!
The toyota sponsorship, plus i understand the Free State government has also realised the value the Cheetahs add to the Province. I think the other Unions will have to spend alot more to recruit Cheetah players.
Ebersohn's market value would have tripled by now.
I also think alot of Cheetah players will want to stay, the vibe is positive after a successful season if all factors are considered. There is a good thing brewing at the Cheetahs. The golden era of 2004/5/6/7 is looming
