Alberto Diaz
Gifted would best describe Alberto Diaz. On the tennis court, Alberto was explosive yet versatile. His playing style was that of modern day tennis players. He literally attacked every ball.
"Bert" or "Berto," as he affectionately is called, is originally from the Dominican Republic. He received his secondary education at The McDonogh School in Baltimore and came to play for Coach Fred Wyman in 1990.
As a freshman, Alberto gave notice that he was going to be a superstar. He jumped into a starting lineup that included three All-Americans and posted a phenomenal 29-7 record.
The infamous sophomore jinx did not hex Diaz. Quite the contrary, as he earned the first of his three trips to the NCAA national tournament by racking up 34 victories versus only nine defeats. This record locked in his election as the team's 1991 most improved player.
Despite increased date limitations and sitting out the fall of 1991, Diaz eclipsed the coveted 100-win plateau. His 24 wins and 14 victories in his junior and senior years, respectively, put him in The Century Club, an elite group that includes only six other players in Washington College tennis history.
Equally proficient in singles and doubles, Diaz earned All-America honors twice in singles and once in doubles. He won the Middle Atlantic Conference singles championship in 1991, defeating teammate and doubles partner Trevor Hurd. A year later the tandem of Diaz and Andrew Moffatt captured the MAC doubles crown. At the conclusion of his senior year, Diaz held a ranking of 16th in the nation in singles and third in doubles with Hurd.
While achieving many individual accolades, Diaz led his team to four consecutive Middle Atlantic Conference team championships and national ranking of fourth, sixth and ninth. The team's overall record was 74-17, which included three 20-win seasons.
Diaz was his team's most valuable player twice and team captain his senior year. Upon graduation he was presented the Eldridge Eliason Award.
Diaz is married to Nadia Hansel. They have three children: Andreas, Natalie and Sophia. He received his master's degree in business administration in 1977 from Thunderbird, The School of International Management, in Glendale, Arizona. Diaz is currently the director of global coal trading with Électricité de France and resides in Baltimore.
Washington College considers it an honor and privilege to induct Alberto Diaz into the Washington College Athletic Hall of Fame on this tenth day of October, 2009.

LOS ANGELES >> Firefighters made quick work of a small fire that broke out late Friday at Fox Studios in Los Angeles, authorities said.
The fire was first reported about 7 p.m. at the studio, 10201 W. Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Katherine Main said.
"It was a small fire in a wooden storage locker in a sound studio," Main said. "It was held in check by fire sprinklers."
Firefighters declared the fire extinguished after 17 minutes, she said. No injuries were reported.
Firefighters remained at the scene clearing water from the building, Main said. Because the affected area has a concrete floor, the damage was believed to be "minimal."
The cause was not available Friday evening.

Zappos, an online shopping company, needed to keep up with projected holiday traffic. By implementing the High IOPS Adapter powered by Fusion ioMemory, the company was able to achieve three times the database performance, while reducing hardware needed by half.
Online Retailer improves database performance and customer experience while slashing system administration overhead with High IOPS Adapter.
The Challenge
Zappos considers themselves an online services company that "happens to sell" products, so providing an optimal customer experience on its website is a top priority.
To keep up with projected holiday traffic increases, Kris Ongbongan, Systems Administration Manager, knew Zappos would have to upgrade. He contacted Lenovo Premier Business Partner, Sycomp, who knew just how to ensure a positive customer experience with minimal impact on the Zappos IT department's overhead.
The Solution
During his system analysis, Kris identified two areas where Zappos needed to upgrade performance in order to handle increased loads:
Amazingly, the High IOPS Adapter powered by Fusion ioMemory technology allowed Zappos to surpass its projected performance capacity while actually reducing maintenance.
Tripling Database Performance with Half the Hardware
Before implementing the High IOPS Adapter, Zappos maintained seven MySQL database instances across seven x3550 blade servers. Adding a single 80GB High IOPS adapter to each of its database servers tripled each server's performance.
This allowed Zappos to host up to four MySQL instances per server. Zappos installed three instances per server and repurposed four of the servers. Doing this increased its database connection capacity by two thousand connections, increased its storage capacity and reduced the number of servers Kris' team had to maintain.
Kris remarked, "The High IOPS adapters allowed us to run three times the traffic per server and cut the number of servers we need by more than half, while improving performance."
Accelerating the Web Cache
In addition to improving its database capabilities, Zappos also used High IOPS Adapters to greatly improve its customer experience. Two 160GB adapters added 320GB of RAM-like memory to its web cache. This meant many more pages loaded from cache rather than disk—and the latency for pages loaded from cache (cache "hits") dropped from 100ms to 5ms.
"The High IOPS card allows us to keep many more product and search pages in the cache," said Kris. "This triples our cache-hit ratio and gives us a 20x reduction in cache-hit latency. Our average page-load times improved 25%."
Reducing Maintenance Overhead and Operating Costs
The reduction in the number of database servers from seven to three meant four fewer database servers to maintain and a more reliable system with far fewer mechanical components to fail.
Kris told us, "The adapter has helped my group by reducing the number of servers we are expected to manage from nine to twelve servers down to three."
Kris Ongbongan, Systems Administration Manager, Zappos
The Results
Implementing the High IOPS Adapters into its x3550 servers gave Zappos the following benefits:
Needless to say, Kris is thrilled, "The High IOPS Adapter allowed us to improve database and website performance to support the increased traffic as we approach the holiday peak. And the best part is that we did it while reducing our workload."
About the Company
Established in 1999, Zappos.com has quickly become a leader in online apparel and footwear sales by striving to provide shoppers with the best possible service and selection. In 2008, the company's gross merchandise sales exceeded $1 billion. Zappos.com currently stocks millions of products from over 1000 clothing and shoe brands. Zappos.com was recognized in 2009 by FORTUNE MAGAZINE as one of the "100 BEST COMPANIES TO WORK FOR," debuting as the highest-ranking newcomer to FORTUNE's 2009 list.
The performance results discussed herein are based on internal Zappos.com testing and use of the above described products. Results and performance may vary according to configurations and systems, including drive capacity, system architecture and applications.

Richard Littlemore | October 12, 2007
By Richard Littlemore • Friday, October 12, 2007 - 08:07
Early reports that a new "Oregon Petition" is now circulating are now confirmed. Attached to this post, you can find a copy of the pitch letter, the petition statement and the heavily manipulated "science" article on which it is all based.
This exercise is so flawed that it's hard to know what demands criticism the most. First, the whole exercise is being pushed by Arthur B. Robinson, the survivalist, Darwin skeptic and proprietor of something called the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine. The "scientific" article on which the petition rests is authored by Robinson, his son Noah, and the American Petroleum Industry-funded Willie Soon, none of whom could hope to get their climate work published in a peer-reviewed science journal.
Apparently bent on meeting the same high standards as the last petition (which included "signatories" ranging from fictional TV character Perry Mason to Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell), the promoters have broadcast this version far and wide.
"It's pathetic that they're so desperate to show that any scientist supports their position that they're even contacting random graduate students in tangentially and unrelated fields." - Sean Lake, graduate student in the UCLA Department of Physics and Astronomy.
But most offensive is the use, once again, of the 96-year-old Dr. Fred Seitz as the lead signatory. Seitz was once a widely respected scientist; he's a former President of the National Academy of Sciences and a one-time President of Rockefeller University. But he fell from grace in the 1970s when he signed on as chief scientist for the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco company. He fell then further in 1989 when Alexander Holtzman at Philip Morris complained in an internal memo that "Dr. Seitz is quite elderly and not sufficiently rational to offer advice."
So, 18 years ago, Seitz was "not sufficiently rational" to meet the lenient scientific standards of the tobacco industry, but today, Art Robinson still feels it's ethical to send out a petition over Seitz's signature on one of the most pressing current scientific issues of the day.
Clearly, shame is a concept still unexplored by the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine.

Who's fooling who?
"Apparently bent on meeting the same high standards as the last petition (which included "signatories" ranging from fictional TV character Perry Mason to Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell)"
Perry Mason is a verified PhD Chemist. "Geri Halliwell" was obviously a prank name, and was eliminated very early on. You'd know that, had you bothered to check the publicly available list of signatories.
Clearly, shame is a concept still unexplored by the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine."
Clearly, truthfully reporting the facts is a concept still unexplored by Richard Littlemore.
Oregon Petition hoax
The original Oregon Petition was little more than a crude hoax. Rather than defend it, Rob engages in smear tactics, which is the typical disinformation technique employed by denialists.
Scientific American contacted a small portion of the purported signers of the original petition in an attempt to verify its validity, and their investigation revealed the deceptive nature of the petition, which can seen in the following article.
Clearly, truthfully reporting the facts is a concept still unexplored by Rob. And it's not hard to figure out why.

Those darn denierifiers!
"The original Oregon Petition was little more than a crude hoax. Rather than defend it, Rob engages in smear tactics, which is the typical disinformation technique employed by denialists."
So now pointing out a brazen omission of fact is a "smear tactic"? Uh, okaaaaay …
Richard Littlemore replied on Permalink
Ooh, "brazen" am I?
Begging you pardon for assuming that "Perry Mason," was not, like "Geri Halliwell," an "obvious prank name." (I must be more careful about what I read on the internet.) Score one for Rob, (though I recommend colinski's link for a fuller and more forthright accounting of the "obvious" prankiness of that original petition.
Still, I'm curious Rob: what do you think about the Robinsons holding Fred Seitz 96-year-old hand over this new version? Is that good science? Ethical PR? Honest in any way? Or - oh what's the word? - brazen?

It was inevitable that the children of actors Jude Law and Sadie Frost weren't going to end up doing an apprenticeship in plumbing, but in a 'my, hasn't he grown' fashion, 16-year-old Rafferty is officially an adult and already following his parents into the spotlight.
Picked by tailoring brand Tiger of Sweden, which has just opened two new stores in the capital, Law junior stars alongside a cast of seven 'London creatives' in a mini film focusing on the cut of its pieces.
"To be above the cut, you have to think a little different," says 'Raffi' who is the eldest of now-divorced Law and Frost's brood, and who was featured in a British Vogue shoot last year.
SEE: Celebrities with model children
Sporting several rings and piercings, Law is described as 'The Rebel', while co-star Ellie Cumming is 'The Stylist' and Phoebe Collings-James is 'The Artist'.
Six of the creatives in the film, entitled 'A Different Cut'
"Rafi's rock and roll spirit and slim-cut tailoring embodies the London look to which Tiger now abide," say Tiger of Sweden.
With a mother in the fashion business (Sadie launched her label Frost French over a decade ago) and a father who is still capturing the attention of Hollywood, prepare to see a lot more of Raffi Law.

Acoustic Guitar
The acoustic guitar is a highly popular starter instrument.
It's affordable, easy to transport, quiet enough not to disturb others during practice, relatively easy to get a nice sound, and doesn't need any additional equipment like amplification.
It can also been seen as a more 'serious' instrument to learn on first if a child ultimately wants to play electric guitar, as the skills and techniques can be transferred.
There are two types of acoustic guitar; classical (or 'nylon strung') and 'steel strung' which is what is most often meant when someone refers to an acoustic guitar.
The classical guitar is considered to be best for beginners as it uses nylon strings, which are much easier to play than steel - the lighter string tension makes it much easier to press the string down onto the fretboard to sound a note.
What To Look For
- Guitars come in a variety of sizes and a full size one is generally suitable for ages 10 - 12 and upwards. Smaller sizes are available for younger students.
- If you are a beginner ask the advice of your tutor and don't buy the cheapest, spend a little more and get a quality one with a solid top if possible.
- Take a guitarist with you when you go to buy it, someone who will be able to tell a if it's a good one or not.
- You should buy the guitar that plays, sounds and looks the best for you. The expertise of the maker and the degree to which an instrument is hand made are of major significance for the development of tonal quality.
- Visit several music shops before you buy and find the salespeople who are enthusiastic and knowledgable. Ask to talk to someone in the shop who plays guitar.
- Take your time, don't rush out and buy the first one you see, you have to live with it for years so make sure it is the right one.
- Buy guitar magazines that have reviews or get catalogues on the models you are interested in to research thoroughly.
- If there is a music trade show or convention in your area visit it, as there will be a variety of products to see and there there will be people there with a wealth of knowledge you can talk to.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. --- Freshman running back Chris Negron ran for a career-high 218 yards with two touchdowns and senior quarterback Robbie Moyer threw for four more touchdowns to lead the Moravian College football team to a 52-42 Centennial Conference win over Franklin & Marshall College at Rocco Calvo Field Saturday afternoon.
Moravian put up 50 points on the scoreboard for the first time since scoring 52 at Susquehanna University on October 28, 2000, and the Greyhounds' 483 yards of total offense were the most for the team since a 500-yard game at McDaniel College on September 13, 2008.
"It was great to get our first win," stated head coach Jeff Pukzysn after the victory. "These guys have played phenomenal all year, and to see all of the hard work finally pay off was great. They were relentless all day, and playing with the lead for the first time gave them a tremendous amount of confidence, and we just built on it from there.
"I think it really helped us to play with the lead," Pukszyn continued. "Our defense came out and played with their ears pinned back and really got after it. The offense fed off of the defense getting that first turnover, and it snowballed successfully for us after that. I think that was a big piece of the puzzle to get on the board first and our offense seeing they could move the ball effectively."
Negron carried the ball 26 times for his 218 yards with scoring runs of six yards and four yards. Negron is the first Moravian running back to hit the 200-yard mark in a game since Marc Panepinto ran for 213 yards versus Lebanon Valley College on November 5, 2005, and Negron finished the game with 263 all-purpose yards after returning three kickoffs for 45 yards. Negron's 218 yards are the sixth best game in school history, and his all-purpose total is also the sixth highest game total in the Moravian record books.
"Overall, Chris had a phenomenal game, and I think he was really feeling it out there this afternoon," Pukszyn said. "He had some great cuts, and his vision was outstanding. He had the hot hand and we kept feeding him. He works at that all week in practice, and it is starting to show up on gameday. He's only a freshman and is getting better every week. Chris is showing us what we saw him do in high school and why we wanted him here with us."
Moyer completed 12-of-20 passes for 124 yards with a career high four touchdowns against one interception, and Moyer also ran for 134 yards on a team-high 28 carries despite heading to the sideline briefly in the third quarter after a hit before Negron's second touchdown. Moyer's four touchdown pass game is the first for the Greyhounds since Marc Braxmeier tossed four touchdowns at Johns Hopkins University on September 22, 2007.
"Robbie managed the game overall real well today," Pukszyn explained. "He battle back from that early interception and kept the F&M defense on their toes."
The Greyhounds, playing at home for just the third time in seven games this season, earned their first win of the season while jumping out to an early lead for the first time this fall. Moravian also received the opening kickoff for the first time this season but turned the ball over on downs in the end zone after deciding not to attempt a field goal into a strong wind.
Moravian needed seven plays to get the ball back when sophomore linebacker Brendan Downey intercepted an E.J. Schneider pass at the Moravian 41-yard line and returned it 14 yards. For the second straight possession, the Greyhounds moved down the field, and Moyer capped of the drive with a 13-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Jimmy McCarthy. Sophomore kicker David Fiumara made the first of his school-record tying seven extra-points in the game to give the Greyhounds a 7-0 lead with 7:50 left in the first quarter, Moravian's first lead of the season.
Kicking off into the strong wind, Fiumara's kickoff was shot and landed at the F&M 30-yard line. With the Diplomats unsure of where the ball was, Moravian freshman defensive back Noah Miller covered the ball for the Greyhounds. Eight plays later, Fiumara connected on a 23-yard field goal into the wind for a 10-0 lead with 5:10 left in the opening quarter.
"We practiced in the wind during the week so we were ready for it today, and it played into our advantage with that kickoff," Pukszyn said.
Moravian forced the Diplomats to punt for the first time in the game, and F&M downed the ball at the one-yard line. On the third play, Moyer's swing pass was intercepted by Diplomats' defensive back Aaron Fant, who returned the ball 12 yards for a touchdown with just 1:39 to play in the first quarter.
The Greyhounds were unable to move the ball but left the clock run out to end the first quarter before punting. The move paid off as Fiumara drilled a career long and school record 67 yard punt that ended up rolling into the end zone for a touchback. Moravian's defense held to eventually force a punt but the Greyhounds had to punt again with Fiumara connecting on a 59-yard punt this time. Fiumara punted four times in the game for an average of 53.0 yards and two inside the 20-yard line.
On the second play of the drive, Moravian junior linebacker Kevin Bracken stripped F&M's Scott LaVala of the ball at the Moravian 46-yard line with Bracken covering the loose ball. Bracken finished the contest with six tackles.
"Kevin is one of our vocal leaders, and he gets he gets the guys really revved up to play," Pukszyn stated. "He puts himself in the right situations out there, and he is seeing everything. He's a fun guy to be around, and the guys really enjoy playing with him."
Moravian would need eight plays to cover the 54 yards to the end zone as Negron scored from six yards out for the 17-7 lead with 6:51 until the intermission.
The final three minutes of the second half saw the teams combine for 28 points with the Greyhounds scoring 21 of them. After Miller intercepted a Schneider pass at the F&M 25-yard line, Moravian needed one play, a 25-yard pass from Moyer to freshman wide receiver Liam Nolan to score. The pass was Nolan's first career reception and gave the Greyhounds a 24-7 lead with 2:43 until halftime.
"Liam has worked very hard in practice to get himself into a position to get onto the field," Pukszyn said. "The ball got thrown his way, and he looked as confident as anyone on the field making that touchdown catch."
The Greyhounds extended their lead 45 seconds later when Schneider's option pick to running back Brendan Daly was wide and Moravian sophomore defensive back Anthony Orlando scooped up the loose ball and sprinted 45 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown and a 31-7 lead. Orlando had a team-high 12 tackles, and his fumble return for a touchdown was the first for the Greyhounds since Erik Brinkerhoff had a 72-yard return versus McDaniel on September 8, 2007 in Moravian's first game as a member of the Centennial Conference.
"We moved Anthony a little closer to the line of scrimmage this week to a nickel linebacker position, and he looked really comfortable there," Pukszyn said. "He was in a great spot on that fumble, and that is something we work on in practice, picking up a fumble and running. He was in the right spot at the right time, and it really ignited us on defense."
A long kickoff return and a pass by Schneider to the one-yard line would set up the Diplomats first offensive touchdown of the game with 1:31 before the half as F&M cut Moravian's lead to 31-14.
The Greyhounds, with the wind at their backs, had plenty of time left on the clock to score again before the intermission. Negron moved the Greyhounds near midfield with a 16-yard run on the first play of the drive before Moyer connected on a 10-yard pass to freshman wide receiver Jalen Snyder-Scipio. Facing a third-and-seven, Moyer found senior tight end Chase Zimnik wide open for a 30-yard completion to the five-yard line. Two plays later, Moyer hit Snyder-Scipio with a five-yard touchdown strike with 12 seconds left in the first half and send Moravian to the locker room with a 38-14 lead. Snyder-Scipio had a team high six receptions for 40 yards.
On the opening possession of the second half, senior defensive back Rees Judge intercepted a Schneider pass at the Moravian three yard line. Judge had 10 solo tackles in the game with one for loss and a total of three passes defended.
After a Moyer run on first down, Negron ran three straight times and picked up 32 yards to get the Greyhounds to the 36-yard line. On the next play, Negron burst through the middle and was off to the races before being caught by &M's Jordan Blair, who knocked the ball loose after a 48-yard gain and Tre Henderson covered the ball for the Diplomats.
F&M would need nine plays to get back on the scoreboard and cut the Greyhounds lead to 38-21.
However, Moravian had an answer again. Moyer ran for five yards on the first play of the ensuing Greyhounds' possession before a three-yard run by Negron on third-and-two, Negron ran off the left side for 55 yards to the F&M four-yard line before being knocked out of bounds. With Moyer being hurt on the play, Negron would finish of the drive on the next play with a four-yard scoring run after taking a handoff from freshman quarterback Mike Hayes, who was making his first appearance of the season. The score pushed the Greyhounds back in front by 24 points, 45-21, with 6:17 left in the third quarter.
The Diplomats scored on their next possession with a 13-play drive that cut Moravian's lead to 45-28 with 39 seconds to go in the third quarter.
Moravian would start its next drive at its own 26-yard line with Moyer running for 17 yards on the final play of the third stanza. Now heading back into the wind, the Greyhounds ran the first 15 plays of the fourth quarter with Moyer finding McCarthy with a 12-yard touchdown pass on a third-and-nine play to put the Greyhounds over 50 points. The score put Moravian ahead 52-28 with just 7:27 remaining in the game, and McCarthy had two catches for 25 yards, both for touchdowns, and his one kickoff return to 18 yards tied the school record he set last season with his 29th return of the year.
F&M would score touchdowns on its final two possessions, sandwiched around a Moravian punt. The Diplomats did have 511 yards of offense on 86 plays as Schneider completed 31-of-49 passes for 369 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. Paul McGann had 10 catches for 164 yards and a score while Jordan Zackery added nine receptions for 129 yards. Schneider also led F&M on the ground with 50 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries.
Miller finished the game with seven tackles to go with his interception for the Greyhounds while Bracken, Downey, junior defensive back Ricky Sinnig and freshman defensive lineman John Snyder each made six stops. Downey and Snyder each had two passes defended while Bracken added a pass break-up.
"John Snyder did a phenomenal job, and might be the best freshman defensive lineman in the conference," Pukszyn said. "He just puts his hat on and goes to work. With some of those ball disruptions he had at the line today fired up the rest of the defensive line and got them going too."
Brendan Wengerter led the Diplomats' defense with 14 tackles while Ryan Young added 13 stops.
Moravian is scheduled to return to action on Saturday, November 2 with the second game of the three-game homestand as Gettysburg College comes to Rocco Calvo Field for a 1:00 p.m. Centennial Conference game.

Why Mattress Cleaning Is Really Important?
- To get rid of dust and particles: – Dust and particles entering our home from doors and windows definitely settle on our mattress. This results in the formation of layers over it. If not cleaned regularly, these layers can convert themselves to permanent marks over your mattress. Hence, this will make your bed look untidy.
- To get rid of bugs and mites: – Unclean and unkempt mattresses can be homes for bugs and mites. Correspondingly, bugs and mites prefer dirty areas to spawn. They are vectors of various diseases that can make your sleep uncomfortable.
- To get rid of dead cells: – In your sleep of 7-8 hours tenure, your body releases dry and dead cells. Additionally, sweat and other body toxins also accumulate gradually. These accumulations can be a source of contamination and facilitate the growth of allergens.
- To get rid of urine odors:- Many a time our babies urinate on the mattress. Hence, if not cleaned instantly, this can leave a foul odor and stain over your mattress.
- To get rid of pet furs and dandles: – Many of us are having pets. These pets roam around the house and most of the times are difficult to monitor. Furthermore, if they have access to our bedrooms, they are surely going to have a look on our bed. In this task, their muddy claws and paws can smear our mattress badly. Similarly, fur and dandles from our pets are also harmful to the hygiene factor of the mattress.
- To get rid of vomit stains or odor:-In case of illness or ailments, if our family member or we get bed-ridden, then they spend maximum time of the day over the bed. In this duration they take food over the bed, chances of vomiting also persist. In all such cases, we must take instant action to clean the droppings at once.

An OS is bornEagle-eyed OSNews readers will have spotted numerous Syllable articles in recent years, and you may have given early releases a trial run. Similarly, those who were active in the hobbyist OS scene several years ago may have used Syllable in its earlier incarnation -- AtheOS. With inspiration and ideas plucked from BeOS, AmigaOS and other systems, Kurt Skauen's AtheOS began life in 1996 and progressed at a decent pace. Unfortunately, though, interaction between Kurt and other developers often suffered; while some wanted to expand and flesh-out AtheOS into a more versatile system, Kurt preferred to keep it as his own pet project (as he had every right to).
The final straw came in 2002 when Kurt effectively abandoned the project, leaving users and developers with no updates for months and silence on the mailing lists. This prompted a group of devoted AtheOS hackers, led by Kristian Van Der Vliet (aka 'Vanders'), to fork the project and build a new future on the old groundwork. As an intriguing aside, the name Syllable came about almost by accident: Vanders was considering various names for the fork -- pondering how many syllables would be appropriate -- when he realised that the word 'syllable' itself is snappy and memorable.
Syllable today
Since then, Syllable development has been advancing at a steady rate, with new features, drivers and programs appearing as each month passes. Work has been under way to update glibc and the programming toolchain (GCC and friends), and the desktop is seeing polish and refinement too. So now we have a freely available (GPLed), multitasking desktop OS, with a fully-fledged GUI, network stack, USB drivers, journalling filesystem, SMP support, and a sprinkling of POSIX adherence thrown in for good measure. Quite an achievement.
In this article, we'll have a look at how the current release shapes up, examining its potential as a desktop OS, and then see what the lead developer has to say about Syllable's present situation and the road ahead...
Syllable 0.5.3 on test
To run Syllable comfortably, a Pentium 200 MHz with 64M of RAM is required. (It'll squeeze into a smaller system, but the results won't be ideal.) Although a bare-bones setup can fit into 100M, around 300M of hard drive space should be fine for general use; however, Syllable won't install on FAT/NTFS or ext2/3 partitions, so you'll need to give it some dedicated space. In terms of sound, video and network card support, Syllable sports an impressive array of drivers for most well-known kit -- so before you give it a spin, it's worth checking out the hardware compatibility list first. Virtual machines and emulators (such as VMware and Bochs) can run the OS with a bit of tweaking.
There are two main ways to get Syllable onto your box: you can burn the official release ISO image and boot it to install, or opt for the Live CD. The latter is a superb way to give Syllable a test-drive without changing anything on your hard drive, and also includes an install script if you're happy with the results. Note, however, that the Live CD is prone to the odd glitch in places -- nevertheless, this is only to be expected as the OS isn't designed for read-only filesystems. BurningShadow, the Live CD's creator, offers the ISO on his web site along with other goodies.
Syllable's installer is a simplistic text-based affair that gets the system up and running within a few minutes. Periodically, discussions and proposals for a graphical installer pop up -- for now, though, it does the job adequately and cosmetic issues can be dealt with later. If there are no hitches, one reboot later and the Syllable login screen will appear (use "root" for both the username and password).

Medical History and Physical Examination for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Examination Overview
The most important steps in diagnosing juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are the medical history and physical examination. Your child's doctor may ask some of the following questions:
- How long do symptoms last, both during a single day and over time?
- At what age did symptoms first begin?
- Which joints are affected? How many joints are affected?
- Are the same joints always affected or do symptoms move from one joint to another?
- What is the child's pain like?
- Does the child bear weight on the affected body part? Has the child's physical activity changed? Have you noticed any limping, favouring a limb, avoiding play, or crawling rather than walking?
- How is the child's general health? Has he or she been ill recently? Are whole-body (systemic) symptoms present, such as weight loss, weakness, or decreased appetite?
- Is there a family history of arthritis?
- Did an injury or illness (sore throat, diarrhea, or flu-like symptoms) occur before the symptoms started, or did the symptoms come on slowly over time?
- Has the child been bitten by a tick that may be a carrier of Lyme disease?
- Are there other symptoms (such as fever, fatigue, or rash) that occurred before or with joint symptoms?
The physical examination generally is not painful and includes:
- Checking body temperature, blood pressure, lymph nodes, and joints.
- Examining the heart and lungs with a stethoscope.
- Feeling the abdomen.
- Examining the skin.
Why It Is Done
A history and physical examination are a routine part of the evaluation of joint pain and stiffness. JIA is diagnosed only after a careful physical examination and medical history.
- Joints affected by JIA are often stiff in the morning and improve as the child uses the joint.
- Children usually bear weight on a joint affected by JIA despite the swelling.
- Joints affected by JIA tend to be less painful than those affected by other conditions, such as infection, injury, or cancer.
During the physical examination, the doctor will note:
- Joint problems, such as swelling, tenderness, or stiffness.
- The number and location of affected joints.
- Whether there are other symptoms (fever, rash, or fatigue).
Using the above information, your doctor may be able to clarify the diagnosis and the type of JIA. In many cases, your child may have symptoms for up to 6 months before the type of arthritis is diagnosed.
What To Think About
The diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) requires ruling out other conditions. Information from the medical history and physical examination is very important to evaluate possible causes of symptoms and to select the best tests to rule out other conditions.

There is a storm brewing over recent proposals by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation that have earmarked three state regions in an effort to comply with a judge's order that it abide by a State Implementation Plan to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from pesticide emissions by 20 percent. In this proposal, DPR would achieve that goal by limiting emissions of soil fumigants.
At stake are thousands of acres that might be taken out of production in Ventura County to meet the stricter air quality standards, at a statewide cost to growers that could exceed $80 million a year.
It would be the most costly pesticide regulation in California history. Other impacted areas include the San Joaquin Valley and the southeastern desert region, including Antelope and Coachella valleys.
The new rules relate to fumigant use from May to October but also impact how fumigants are used throughout the year. Specific caps on the amount of fumigants used will be set in these areas and once those limits are hit, soil fumigation will not be allowed.
Also under the proposal, all California growers who use fumigants must hire commercial applicators and must incorporate low-emission techniques, such as using more tarps or applying multiple irrigations after fumigation.
As expected, the DPR proposals have sent shockwaves through agriculture as manufacturers and growers alike scramble to deal with the crisis about how best to meet a 20 percent reduction in emissions. DPR is obligated by the court decision to have a regulation in place by Jan. 1, 2008.
Fumigants are crop protection products used in fields before planting to manage soil-borne pests, killing insects (especially root-eating nematodes), weeds, and organisms causing soil-borne diseases. Some percentage of the applied fumigants volatilize into the air and are considered VOCs.
DPR has scheduled two important formal hearings to gain public input about the proposed regulations, one in Ontario on July 10, the other in Parlier, in Fresno County, on July 12. These hearings are likely to be highly charged, as various sides of the debate present their viewpoints about fumigant emissions.
For those who have not been following this controversy, DPR's action stems from a federal court-ordered deadline to combat smog. State officials warn that growers of strawberries, tomatoes, and peppers will bear the brunt of the regulations, the biggest burden falling on strawberry growers, who will face strict caps on emissions and may have to resort to pulling thousands of acres out of production to meet the stiffer standards.
Tree and vine growers in the San Joaquin Valley also face serious challenges as DPR's proposed regulations say fumigant emissions must be decreased 38 percent. Each year 10,000 acres of tree and vine crops alone (almonds, grapes, stone fruit, and citrus) are treated during the May to October window.
Coincidentally, a DPR public symposium addressing the very issue of VOC emissions — that had been in the making since last October — was held at the Red Lion Inn in Sacramento May 22-23, just a few days after DPR went public with its new proposals.
I attended this two-day event. The speakers included scientists from the USDA/ARS, experts from state campuses such as University of California, Davis, and the University of California Kearny Agricultural Center, and also a senior representative from the Pesticide Action Network North America.
Industry members presented information indicating that unnecessary and costly proposals would not benefit state agriculture and there were no clear signs that air quality would be improved.
There was a general consensus that if changes have to be made, they must be scientifically sound, with the least economic impact, and a scenario such as California's MTBE fuel additive debacle must be avoided at all costs.
Attending the two-day forum was panelist Rick Tomlinson, director of public policy for the California Strawberry Commission, which represents the state's strawberry growers, who produce almost 90 percent of the nation's crop.
Tomlinson had been quoted in media accounts as saying if the DPR draft as purposed is implemented, it will definitely drive some growers out of business. He also took issue with "old, obsolete data" he says is being used to drive the regulations. As an example of why this regulation is so unsettling to many in agriculture, it is worth highlighting that Ventura County, one of the three areas at issue, has been in compliance with the federal Clean Air Act for the past several years. However, because of the legal pressure being exerted from court litigation, fumigants nonetheless have been placed in the crosshairs. Whether a judge will take this fact into account is anyone's guess.
Take note that the industry has not sat idle in dealing with the problem of fumigant emissions. Farmers are increasingly using new technologies such as drip formulations, deeper shank injection, improved soil moisture conditions, and tarps to mitigate emissions. And while the agriculture industry's contribution to VOC emissions is exceedingly small (3 percent to 6 percent) when compared to other contributors such as automobiles, the industry obviously realizes the need to do its share wherever possible. And it should be kept in mind that California has the strictest standards for the use and application of pesticides in the nation.
DPR has suggested that in the San Joaquin Valley and desert region, low-emission techniques are expected to achieve the targets. However, the practicality and economic feasibility of some of these "low-emission" methods are very much in question.
In Ventura County, because of increased strawberry acreage, the difference between the target and projected emissions from pesticides is even more dramatic. Up to 10,000 acres — one-third of Ventura County's fumigated acres — might have to be removed from production or left untreated to meet the court-ordered limit. About 25 percent of the nation's strawberries are grown within the county.
Tomlinson points out that to stay in business, Ventura growers would have to use expensive, less effective methods or grow lower-value crops that do not use fumigants. At the end of the two-day Sacramento symposium, DPR solicited input from the public and industry about the best way to meet the court-mandated emissions reduction. The department will be doing the same next month at the meetings in Ontario and Parlier.
Needless to say, agriculture has a lot riding on the outcome of these hearings and the eventual formulation of regulations that are finally implemented. Make no mistake about it, this is a big deal and interested parties both in California and across the nation will be closely watching how this whole process shakes out. I will keep you updated as these regulations work themselves through the system during the coming months.

Pete and the Pirates have split
According to Marc Riley on the 6Music show last night. Sad news, one of my favourite bands of recent years. Little Death is amazing, and 1,000 whilst more patchy has it's moments. Also a cracking live band.
Aw man
I really enjoyed their debutpieces_of_reece, Royter-Hatfood, Mick_Squalor, rich-t, 8stepstoperfection, and Icarus-Smicarus this'd this
That's a real shame.
they're a good bunch of lads, who on their day wrote some cracking songs. second album didn't do it for me though :(forzaborza this'd this
^ pretty much exactly this
The first album is great, was never sure where they could go from there though.
I played a gig with them once right at the beginning of their existence
and I really liked them. Nice guys. Then followed them a bit as they got bigger. They were well good. Nice mix between trendy cool and totally geeky.
Shame really.
Loved the debut and the 2nd lp
I thought they took a brave step with the 2nd lp that would translate to more success with 6Music daytime etc.. Obviously didn't pay off.
Cracking live as well. Thanks for the music lads....
They had a really good name too.
Although they have split
Most of the same members are in a new band called Teleman who are a goodie too and sound fairly similar to my ears.
Little Death is definitely one of the best indie albums of the last 10 years for me.
sad news. Loved the 2nd album more to be honest.
Perfect for full volume singalong motorway driving.
such a shame
brilliant band
perfect hooks
the lead guitarist & a guy from The Yummy Fur
now play in a band called The 3.1419 Wonders
im sure the Sanders brothers will be back in some shape or form soon enough
If anyone reading this has not heard the last album
then - whilst I agree with whats said above - I'd say that its is still worth checking out, because there are some great tracks on it.
dreadful name
so I judged a book by its cover.
The second album is amazing
Was my pick of 2011. Washing Powder is a stone cold classic. Ace live as well.
Teleman do indeed sound very similar so all is not lost.
I'm surprised its taken so long for a public annoucement.
Pete (guitar) apart from being a new band The 3.149 Wonders also now runs a great cafe in Reading http://www.theshedcafe.co.uk/

- The slide in oil prices is a 'double-edged sword' for central banks fi xated on +2%yoy CPI targets. Those hoping to start normalising rates this year will now have to seek non-infl ation reasons. With the probable exception of the US Fed, these will be diffi cult to fi nd.
- To gauge how G5 countries' overall, monetary & fi scal, policy positions could change, we extend our Policy-Looseness Analysis to 2016. By taking explicit account of QE & fi scal positions, it beefs up the 'Taylor Rule' the Fed uses for setting rates.
- Loose policies will carry over into 2016. This looks less worrying in slow-growth Japan & euro-zone, where stimulus is needed just to stand still. But, in the fast-growing US & UK, the rate hikes markets expect will leave their overall positions much looser than pre-crisis.
- Vigilance will be needed. With the US & UK now growing above 'potential', & their CPIs set for 'V'-shaped recoveries, running such negative (QE-adjusted) rates may increasingly raise eyebrows.
- Thus, the risk to markets later in 2015 may not be that the US Fed & BoE are set to tighten, but they are falling 'behind the curve'...

MIDDLEBURY — Like many teens and young adults, Susan Shashok back in the day found herself in a lengthy battle against acne. With it came an arduous and unfortunately fruitless search for a product to improve her skin condition.
"I tried everything that I could," recalled Shashok. "It just didn't work for me. I had to use a lot of harsh chemicals, and it dried out my skin or made it all red."

Vittorio Brodmann paints. Painting has a reputation for showing things beyond a picture, things that happen within the artist and subsequently manifest themselves on the canvas. Brodmann combines this sum of gestures called painting with comedy and slapstick. Against this background, Brodmann works with our expectations towards painting, confronting them with an exaggeration of the ordinary by featuring fantastic characters as protagonists.
Vittorio Brodmann, born in Ettingen in 1987, lives and works in Vienna. In recent years his works have been shown, among other places, at the Leslie Fritz Gallery, New York (2013), the CEO Gallery, Malmö (2013), the Galerie Gregor Staiger, Zurich (2012), at Graff Mourge d'Algue, Geneva (2012), the Halle für Kunst Lüneburg (2012), the Kunsthalle Bern (2012), the Kunsthal Charlottenburg, Copenhagen (2011), the Kunsthaus Glarus (2010), the Galerie 1m3, Lausanne (2010), and at New Jerseyy, Basel (2009).

I'm a new philhellene on this site. I just got the Loeb edition of Sappho and Alcaeus by mail a couple of days ago. After some reading I don't find Sappho so difficult at all, though I had been warned, as it's just about getting used to the Aeolic forms.
But I just can't make sense of this tiny fragment.
Ok, this is an entire fragment of Sappho (#56) from my Loeb edition:
οὐδ᾽ ἴαν δοκίμωμι προσίδοισαν φάοσ ὰλίω
ἔσσεσθαι σοφίαν πάρθενον εἰσ οὐδένα πω χρόνον
It's translated as:
"I do not imagine that any girl who has looked on the light of the sun will have such skill at any time in the future"
I don't get this.
Ok, "ian prosidoisan phaos alio parthenon" go together, as on the other hand do "sophian teautan". I gather that "parthenon etc" is the subject of the accusative and infinitive construction with "essesthai" the infinitive verb. But how can this construction with "eimí" take an object in accusative "sophian teautan"? "Eimí" stands for "to be", not "to have".
The only bad explanation I can think of is that "essesthai" is for "hennumi", not "eimí". Perseus Word Study Tool does not agree with this theory
I'd be very grateful for help!

The Anderson County Chamber of Commerce would like to thank all who attended the 12th annual Clinch River Antiques Festival on Oct. 12 and 13 in Historic Downtown Clinton.
To the Editor:
The Anderson County Chamber of Commerce would like to thank all who attended the 12th annual Clinch River Antiques Festival on Oct. 12 and 13 in Historic Downtown Clinton. With the beautiful weather, the festival was the "best ever" with a large crowd estimated at 10,000-plus all day. Local businesses and visiting vendors reported remarkable sales. Please join me in thanking the festival sponsors Regions Bank, Methodist Medical Center and Tennova Healthcare.
A special thanks to Clinton City Manager Roger Houck and his department heads for city services provided for the festival; to Clinton's Event Coordinator Jason Brown and Clinton Police Department's Sgt. Jim Campbell; and to the downtown merchants for their support and promotion of the fall festival and sharing the street on Saturday with a multitude of antique/artisan vendors.
I express my special thanks and appreciation to the Chamber staff, Janet Hawkins and Kim Mitchell, whose contribution was major. They spent many hours problem-solving, coordinating and attending to last-minute details, plus they were onsite Friday and Saturday.
A festival of this magnitude requires a host of volunteers and community support. The success of this event can be contributed to these dedicated individuals; in addition to their efforts prior to the festival, they volunteered on Friday and Saturday:
• Community Support — Thank you to all the local businesses and organizations for their cooperation and support of this event. Thank you to Hoskins Medical Supply for their parking lot; First Baptist Church for the Kid's Korner; Clinton Antique Mall for sponsoring appraiser Joe Rosson and Rick Crane; Clinton Baptist Association for the vendor's Hospitality Suite; Anderson Farmers Co-Op for beautiful mums, pumpkins and hay bales; Clinton Drug Store, Peoples Bank of the South, Walgreen's, Stephanie Wells and Anderson County Tourism for digital sign coverage; Anderson County Fair Association for the stage; Anderson County road superintendent for safety vests; and Food City-Clinton for Hospitality Suite donations.
• Entertainment — Our special thanks to Lynn Fox, David Daly, Harry & Libby Bumgardner, Timmy Bittle, Mikey Mocksari and friends for the Aaron Burr/Alexander Hamilton duel re-enactment; River Ridge Farm's Marvin Wolfenbarger for carriage rides; and Denim & Diamonds Square Dance Club, Jason Stinnett Band, Wayne Matthews Band, Dean Williams, DJ and Music by Request for entertainment.
• Volunteers — Our special thanks to Chamber board members Ed Engel, Natalie Erb and Bruce Holt; Chamber ambassadors Sharon Edwards, John Lasater, Susan McGetrick, Kathy Stansberry and Dave Vudragovich; Leadership Anderson County class members Shaun Gleason, Jimmy Huddleston, Jason Lawrence, Norm Nelson, Mike Swisher and Loren Webber; and additional valuable volunteers Dan Hawkins, Hope Nelson, Hugh Nichols, Jimmy Olsen and Kristin Olsen.
Our special thanks to Molly Farrar for gazebo decorations; local antique car owners for the antique car exhibit; Larry & Louise Egner, Ken Newton, Mr. & Mrs. Noel Newton, Mr. & Mrs. Dan Tuxbury for manning the information booth; Sid Brewer, Lois Engel, Teresa Grayson, Peggy Hughes for hosting the Hospitality Suite; and Clinton High School ACES students Dannelle Carroll, Vickie Day, Hannah Massey and Adaira Ott.
Very special thanks to Museum of Appalachia's director Elaine Meyer. The number of out-of-state attendees was directly related to festival flyers distributed at the Museum of Appalachia Homecoming. We also express our appreciation for the excellent coverage received from newspaper, radio and TV media throughout the region. This cooperative effort resulted in a boost to our community and the local economy.
We hope we haven't missed thanking anyone who helped make this festival such a success. If so, we apologize … and THANK YOU!
Jackie Nichols, president

cemented its spot in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs, coming from behind to defeat
38-28 Saturday at Bridgeforth Stadium.
The Monarchs (10-1, 7-1 CAA) finished with the best record in the conference, but are ineligible for the title and automatic playoff berth as an outgoing member.
"We're the champs," ODU coach
said, smiling and raising his arms. "We win. All due respect to the league. I understand that they had to do what they had to do. We understand that, but from our standpoint, we were playing to win the league championship. That was critical to us."
Wilder and the staff informed the players earlier in the day that they could tune into the
"We wanted that," Wilder said. "These kids wanted that badly. They wanted to be champions, and it was exciting. We're very excited to have that unofficial title."
The FCS playoff field will be announced Sunday afternoon. ODU is all but assured an at-large berth in the 20-team field and is likely to be awarded a bye and at least one home game.
Four teams officially tied for the conference title -- Richmond,
Quarterback Taylor Heinicke led a second-half offensive surge, and the Monarchs made critical defensive stops against a JMU offense that shredded them in the first half.
Heinicke completed 32 of 45 passes for 357 yards and four touchdowns, all of which came in the second half as ODU erased a 21-10 halftime deficit.
JMU (7-4, 5-3 CAA) quarterback Justin Thorpe was superb for the Dukes in the first 2 1/2 quarters, running and passing for four touchdowns as the Dukes took a 28-17 lead.
Thorpe was stopped on 4th-and-inches at the ODU 9 with 7:09 remaining, and was sacked on 4th-and-12 with 1:25 left as the Dukes tried to climb back from the 10-point deficit.
The Monarchs' defense tightened considerably in the second half, permitting only 94 yards after getting burned for 217 yards in the first half. Thorpe accounted for 230 yards, but just 38 in the second half.
"They were hurting us with a lot of specialty plays," Wilder said, referring to plays on which action started in one direction, but Thorpe and others would run or throw to the opposite side of the field.
"We regrouped at halftime, talked about those plays and didn't get hurt with any of those plays in the second half," Wilder said. "That was the biggest difference. We needed to play some responsible football. I felt like we were a very responsible defense in the second half."
Heinicke and the passing game, meanwhile, found some traction after halftime. The sophomore directed three touchdown drives in a seven-minute span of the third and fourth quarters, turning a 28-17 deficit into a 38-28 lead.
He hit Antonio Vaughan with a 59-yard touchdown pass with 4:34 remaining in the third quarter. Four minutes later, he connected with Larry Pinkard on a 17-yard scoring pass. He hit Nick Mayers in the right corner of the end zone early in the fourth quarter to complete the scoring.
After a tipped-pass interception midway through the third quarter that resulted in JMU's final touchdown, Heinicke completed his next 12 passes for 158 yards and three touchdowns. During a nearly 15-minute span of the second half, he was 16 of 17 for 199 yards and all four touchdowns.
ODU's offensive improvement in the second half: "Everything, from blocking, throwing catching," Heinicke said. "We had some pretty big drops in the first half, some pretty big missed blocking assignments and I made some bad reads in the first half.
"We came out in the second half and the coaches cut down the offense. A lot of quick passes. We were just taking what they give us -- 5-yard hitches, slants. That's what we did. When they started picking up, we tried to go deep and it worked out pretty well for us."
Heinicke finished the regular season with 4,158 yards passing, with 35 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
"I think he's clearly the best player in the country," Wilder said. "I've studied everybody's stats ... Call me biased, but when you throw for 4,200 yards and do it against six teams that were ranked in the top 25, do it with the toughest in-league schedule that anybody had ... we played the top of the league and he had to do it against those teams."

Lakers push toward playoffs in Milwaukee
The Los Angeles Lakers ended a three-game losing streak on Wednesday and will continue their road trip Thursday when they visit the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Lakers knocked off the Minnesota Timberwolves, 120-117 on Wednesday night. The victory kept the Lakers one game ahead of the Utah Jazz, and 1 1/2 games in front of the Dallas Mavericks for the eighth and final spot in the Western Conference.
The Bucks are the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference and are in no real jeopardy of missing the postseason. They fell to the Philadelphia 76ers in Philly on Wednesday, but are 7 1/2 up on those same 76ers for the last spot in the East.
The Lakers played their first game without Metta World Peace on Wednesday. The forward will be sidelined six weeks after surgery to repair a torn lateral meniscus.
Kobe Bryant slid to the small forward spot and Jodie Meeks got the start at shooting guard.
Los Angeles built a 12-point lead after three quarters, thanks to 41 points in the third. The Wolves started fouling Dwight Howard intentionally to get back in the game and the strategy paid off. Howard went 2-for-8 from the foul line late in the game and the T'Wolves cut the lead to three.
Bryant could've iced the game, but missed a free throw. He atoned for the miscue when he blocked Ricky Rubio's 3-point shot to tie it, a block Minnesota thought was a foul.
"That's not a foul. They are not calling that," Bryant said. "That is a tough call to make. I just put my hand there, it is not like I went out and smacked him across the arm or anything like that. It is what it is."
Bryant had 31 points, while Howard posted 25 points, 16 rebounds and five blocks. Pau Gasol, playing in only his third game since a foot injury, scored 17, Antawn Jamison added 18 off the bench and Steve Nash netted 16.
The Bucks actually took a two-point lead into the fourth quarter against the Sixers, but went ice cold in the final frame. Milwaukee shot 31 percent over the final 12 minutes to manage just 14 points and lose, 100-92.
Wednesday's setback was Milwaukee's fourth in a row.
"You can point to a lot of things," Milwaukee forward Mike Dunleavy said. "We've got to bounce back and get a win."
The Bucks may have dropped four in a row, but received some great individual performances on Wednesday night.
Monta Ellis led all scorers with 29 points. Ersan Ilyasova had 13 points and 18 rebounds and Larry Sanders added 15 points and nine rebounds. Sanders' streak of eight straight games with 10-plus rebounds ended.
The Lakers have taken seven of the last nine against the Bucks and eight of their last 11 in Milwaukee.
