Identity and Interest Amicus Curiae Judicial Watch, Inc. (Judicial Watch) non-partisan educational foundation which promotes transparency, accountability and integrity government, politics and the law. Through its educational endeavors, Judicial Watch advocates high standards ethics and morality our nation's public life and seeks ensure that political and judicial officials not abuse the powers entrusted them the American people. The motto Judicial Watch Because one above the law. The issue presented this case whether the official proponents successful initiative ballot have the authority defend the constitutionality initiative upon its adoption appeal judgment invalidating the initiative when the public officials charged with that duty refuse so. This issue goes the core Judicial Watchs mission. stake this case the ability Californias public officials thwart the will the people California, expressed through the initiative process, failing defend initiative court when challenged. this Court finds that the proponents initiative have such recourse when elected officials fail defend initiative court, Californias political officials will given clear opening abuse the powers entrusted them the people California manner that not transparent and not accountable. Introduction This Court must hold that Defendants-Intervenors Dennis Hollingsworth, Gail Knight, Martin Gutierrez, Mark Jansson, and ProtectMarriage.com (Proponents) have standing defend the constitutionality Proposition court, because California government official who ordinarily would defend the laws constitutionality was willing so. The very point the initiative process give the people the opportunity pass laws that their elected representatives are not willing pass. there were contradiction between what the people California desire and what their elected representatives are willing pass, then there would initiative process the first place. the Proponents initiative not have standing defend court the constitutionality initiative that the elected and appointed officials California refuse defend, the basic premise the initiative California fundamentally undermined. Argument Refusing Grant Proponents Standing Defend Initiatives Which the Attorney General Does Not Defend Court Would Undermine the Initiative Process. The initiative movement was conceived specifically give power the peoples choices when their elected government officials are inclined ignore them. The amendment the California Constitution 1911 provide for the initiative and referendum signifies one the outstanding achievements the progressive movement the early 1900s. (Strauss Horton (2009) Cal. 4th 364, 420, quoting Associated Home Builders etc., Inc. City Livermore (1976) Cal. 582, 591.) The impetus for direct democracy California came from the belief that trusting the legislature carry out the will the people was not enough. The progressive movement, both California and other states, grew out widespread belief that moneyed special interest groups controlled government, and that the people had ability break this control. (Strauss, Cal. 4th 420.) The initiative was viewed one means restoring the peoples rightful control over their government, providing method that would permit the people propose and adopt statutory provisions and constitutional amendments. (Id.) Initiatives therefore take precedence over laws passed the legislature and cannot overruled the Governor the Attorney General repealed amended the legislature. (See Cal. Const., art. II, 10.) Because the initiative process was designed precisely allow the people step when their elected legislators failed follow their wishes, courts must particularly careful protect the right the people pass initiatives when elected officials seek nullify them. The courts have repeatedly declared their duty jealously guard this right the people and that has long been our judicial policy apply liberal construction this power whenever challenged order that the right not improperly annulled. (Building Industry Assn. Southern California, Inc. City Camarillo (1986) Cal. 810, 821.) (See also, Associated Home Builders Cal. 591; Independent Energy Producers Assn. McPherson (2006) Cal. 4th 1020, 1032; People rel. Deukmejian County Mendocino (1984) Cal. 476, 479.) Thus, most instances, the trial court should allow intervention proponents the initiative. (Building Industry Cal. 822.) circumstances where there underlying opposition the ordinance, only the availability intervention can ensure the defense will carried out with vigor. (Id.) When the states elected officials refuse defend initiative entirely, the Courts duty allow proponents the initiative intervene even more clear. Plaintiffs Arguments that the Rights State Officials Supersede Those the People Not Accurately Reflect the Rights Californians. Rather than trying demonstrate that the initiative process does not require the proponents initiative granted standing state officials refuse defend initiative court, Plaintiffs argue that the prerogatives the Governor and Attorney General are paramount. Plaintiffs position ignores the fact that the rights the people California are paramount, not the rights the state apparatus. Under the California Constitution, [a]ll political power inherent the people. Government instituted for their protection, security and benefit. (Cal. Const., art. II, 1). [A]ll power government ultimately resides the people, the amendment [to the California Constitution 1911] speaks the initiative and referendum, not right granted the people, but power reserved them. (Associated Home Builders, Cal. 591.) California goes farther than any other state protect the peoples power initiative: [n]o other state the nation carries the concept initiatives written stone such lengths. (People Kelley (2010) Cal. 4th 1008, 1030.) The prerogatives the Governor and the Attorney General cannot trump the rights the people participate their governance. None Plaintiffs arguments challenge the fact that denying standing initiative proponents such circumstances would mean denying the people California this power which they have right. Plaintiffs contention that the Peoples veto the Executive Branchs litigation decisions properly exercised the ballot boxby voting out office state officials who decline defend initiativemisses the point the initiative process, which give voice the people specific issues through more direct means than simply the opportunity vote obstructionist state officials out office the end their terms. (Plaintiffs-Respondents Answering Brief 13). Aside from the obvious shortcoming this solution, namely, that the elected officials terms will probably not expire moment precisely timed allow voters save initiative from being abandoned court, elections for statewide office often not turn single issue. election, voters not have the luxury choosing candidate who will agree with them every issue: they must choose from very limited selection candidates the one who they believe will agree with them the most often. The inherent limitations this process mean that, even the best circumstances, there may well specific issues which majority Californians disagree with the position the winning candidates for governor attorney general. One the virtues direct democracy that allows the people transcend this limitation representative government and express their will single issues. Proposition was such issue. Allowing the Governor and the Attorney General unbridled power prevent any defense initiative that has been challenged court does indeed nullify the advantages the initiative process. attacking not only the constitutionality Proposition but also the standing its proponents defend the initiative when Plaintiffs chosen defendants will not, Plaintiffs also attack the initiative process itself, try they might seem though they are not. Plaintiffs may believe that system with initiative process would preferable, and they are entitled devote themselves fighting for different system. However, Plaintiffs are the wrong forum seek this reform: the Courts function not overturn the initiative process. Plaintiffs give some support the notion that allowing proponents defend Proposition appropriate stating with approval that proponents had their day court with full and fair trial the merits. (Plaintiff-Respondents Answering Brief 14). But presuppose the fullness and fairness trial simply assumes away the very need for appeal. Plaintiffs point out that, under federal law least, the right trial has been given more constitutional protection than the right appeal. (Id.) However, Plaintiffs have offered reason why, under these circumstances, Proponents should have standing defend the law for the duration trial but should lose soon the trial judges ruling subject review for legal errors. The circumstance law passed the people being declared unconstitutional court does not seem like prime candidate for more deference the trial court than usual our judicial system, which generally allows for appellate review. When the judgment the trial court results overturning law that applies the whole state California rather than just the parties the case, the desirability appellate review even greater. Proponents Have Particularized Interest Defending the Initiative They Sponsored. Plaintiffs claim that, under California law, the interests initiative proponents the constitutionality already-enacted initiative are not materially different from those any other California who supported the measure false. (Brief Plaintiff-Respondents 21). Under California law, real party interest has special interest served some particular right protected over and above the interest held common with the public large. Connerly State Personnel Board (2006) Cal. 4th 1169, 1178. Plaintiffs claims imply that proponents have such interest only the pre-enactment setting. (Brief Plaintiff-Respondents 23). However, the interest that the proponents have the pre-enactment setting does not disappear once initiative has been successful becoming law. Plaintiffs falsely suggest this interest disappears because the Attorney General and the Governor now have interest defending the initiative well. Plaintiffs argue there can only one real party interestthe State. However, there are many cases where there may more than one real party interest. Municipal Court Bloodgood (1982) 137 Cal. App. 29, 44. anything, the interest Proponents had the pre- enactment stage has only become stronger: their possibility passing their initiative majority the voters became certainty, and their desire defend the law should become even stronger than before. Conclusion For the reasons stated above, the Court should hold that the official proponents initiative measure may defend the constitutionality initiative upon its adoption may appeal judgment invalidating the initiative when the public officials charged with carrying out these duties fail refuse so.

On May 22nd, 2014, "la Caixa" General Assembly approved the creation of the "la Caixa" Banking Foundation, as part of the Group's reorganization process.
This process involved the organization's necessary adaptation to the Savings Banks and Banking Foundations Law of 27 December 2013 and, at the same time, the ability to maintain and strengthen the mission and values of leadership, trust and social commitment which inspired the foundation of "la Caixa".
The entity was founded in 1904,as a savings bank. Strongly committed to the country's social and economic development, its social purpose was to prevent people's financial exclusion.
Just as it did before, the organization works with a vision of long term business which takes into account all the people and collectives that it is in contact with. And it is convinced that, from our position and with the guidance of our values of leadership, trust and social commitment, it is part of our corporate responsibility to encourage a sustainable attitude in our area of influence.
"This savings bank is an entity with economic interests, but, above all, it is built on social ideals." (1927).

Measuring ketones
Some people following the ketogenic diet keep track of their ketones by measuring betahydroxy butyrate in ther blood ie BHOB. This method is accurate but a bit expensive. Over the last few years there has become available breathylisers that measure acetone as an indicator of the degree of ketosis.
Does anybody here use this latter method ? and if so, would they be willing to share here their results/experiences.?
Doesn't matter. Ketosis per se means very little
Hi Philip,
Re: breath analyzers - while I think there`s at least one research paper floating around showing some correlations between acetone and blood BHB, it is definitely a "minority" ketone compared to BHB and acetoacetate. It would be interesting to see a properly researched comparison between such a device, a blood reader and a urine tester.
As McD suggests however, the ketones themselves don`t necessarily tell you anything other than how deep you are in ketosis - is that what you`re talking about when you mean measuring?
But i don't get this whole Ketosis thing. I mean as long as i am having say 150gm Protein, 120gm Fat & 25-30 or even <100gm of Carbs (less than what our Brain requires per day) won't my body be using FFA's as fuel? If yes then won't i be producing Ketones as a byproduct? If yes then am i not in the state called KETOSIS?
Now Pro Ketogenic Dieters say that 25gm carbs must come from Veggies or things that won't raise our Insulin or else you will disrupt Ketosis.
Your book says that Carbs should come from Complex sources which won't raise blood glucose therefore won't increase Insulin & reduce Glucagon & won't disrupt Ketosis.
If as you say that Ketosis doesn't matter (I have read that in so many answers of yours) then can't we have say those 25/30gm Carbs in a sitting or say 5/6gm of Table Sugar spread around 5 meals which will definitely disrupt Ketosis?
I mean what would happen then? Won't our bodies be using FFA's for fuel even when all i am having is 25-30gm of Carbs in one day?
If it would still be burning FFA's for fuel then won't i get Ketones as by product? And if i am getting Ketones as byproduct then won't i stay in Ketosis?
And if you say that doing what i am saying will disrupt Ketosis then SHOULDN'T KETOSIS MATTER? I mean shouldn't it be an indicator of if our body is using FFAs for fuel?
Quoting from your book
"What does ketosis represent?
The development of ketosis indicates two things. First, it indicates that the body has shifted from a metabolism relying primarily on carbohydrates for fuel to one using primarily fat and ketones for fuel (4).
This is arguably the main goal of the ketogenic diet: to cause an overall metabolic shift to occur in the body. The reasons this shift may be desirable are discussed in the next chapter.
Second, ketosis indicates that the entire pathway of fat breakdown is intact (4). The absence of ketosis under conditions which are known to induce it would indicate that a flaw in fat breakdown exists somewhere in the chain from fat breakdown, to transport, to oxidation in the liver. This absence would indicate a metabolic abnormality requiring further evaluation."
Sorry but i am so confused over this 'KETOSIS MATTERS OR DOESN'T MATTER THING' it's been bugging me from quite a long time. I came on forum just to get this thing resolved. I mean should i have to be scared while eating my carbs that i may end up disrupting Ketosis & ruining my diet?
New to forum.
In an identical deficit, ketosis or nor, you still burn about the same net FFA's since the oxidation of fa's is used to offset the deficit itself.
So it doesn't matter given the same protein and calorie intake. Ketotic, non-ketotic, fat loss will be identical.
And the problem is that people cahse ketosis as if it matters. Ketosis isn't ht goal and you can be in deep ketosis eating a ton of fat. And you won't lose a gram of bodyfat. And you can not be in ketosis and in a deficit and you will.
Too much protein will lessen ketosis. So they reduce protein which is always I need to read the rules post.I need to read the rules post.I need to read the rules post.-backwards unless you're epileptic. Sufficient protein, calorie deficit, that's what matters.
Ketosis per se means nothing.
You: "Yes, I do, and don't call me Shirley!"
"When I die, if there are no dogs in Heaven, I want to go where they went."---Will Rogers
Ok Lyle i got this sir & thanks for the reply. I did read the rules and i did try finding things on forum/website but couldn't maybe i was lazy something but i have bookmarked almost all your articles.
I agree if the deficit is same then no matter what type of diet we will be losing the same amount of fat cause that's the basic law.
But i came across one article of yours i guess it was about Insulin Sensitivity & Fat Loss.
There you gave some pointers about how we can guess what kinda Insulin Sensitivity we have and how much Insulin we secrete after a heavy carb meal. From that perspective i categorize myself as a guy who is a bit Insulin Resistant (250lbs, 35%ish fat) cause i always feel bloated whenever my carbs are high (150-200gms around) and after a heavy carb meal i always feel sleepy especially when i have Rice and curry sorta things.
Also i came across one article of yours (Don't remember the name) which said that if you aren't comfortable on High Carbs then you sure will do well in Low Carb/Keto sorta diet and vice versa. So that's why i was thinking of going on Keto.
I just read another article of how Ketogenic diets have no metabolic advantage whatsoever over Non Ketogenic diets. But sir would it have any advantage over fat mobilization from the fat cells? I mean i have tons of fat around my belly and thighs area which i guess lacks blood flow. Since i am not able to exercise due to some reasons & i am sedentary most of the time won't i do better on low carb/ketogenic diet compared to moderate carb diet and lose equal amount of fat from such sites compared to Moderate/High Carbs diet?
Also there is another question that i have posted in the Ketogenic Diet forum hoping you would give it a look.
New to forum.

Measuring ketones
Hi Keto Tech
Ive been off and on in ketosis for years.
The measuring devices that are available are the urine sticks and the diabetic blood monitors which involve finger poking .
The urine sticks are helpful when first getting started but then decline in efficacy once ketosis is established because they only measure the ketones being excreted, not the ketones circulating and being used for fuel.
The finger poking method is much more accurate but I dont want to be stabbing myself constantly since I dont have diabetes.
If you could come up with something as accurate as the blood monitors but with the convenience of the urine sticks, that would be awesome.

I agree with you. But I hate alcohol for different reasons; I lost someone very close to that shit...
COUNTRY MUSICI don't see why people hate country music. I don't really have favorite country songs but I like listening to it on the radio. Its like story telling in music form, but the story doesn't have much of a plot, its just like, painting a picture of a nice scenery and being peaceful and hanging out with the people you love and being out in nature.
Every single one of my good friends watches anime. I've tried and tried, I just cannot stand the cutesy voices of the girls and just the drawing style makes me sick sometimes. I've only watched one series completely and it gave me feels I really didn't like so every time I see the drawing style its just not good for me.

Don't Read Andrew Keen's Book - You'll Harm His Identity
from the or-'zuck-it-up'-if-you-prefer dept
To promote his new pop-Luddite book Digital Vertigo—named, I assume, for the slight feeling of dizziness that signals the onset of old age—Andrew Keen has written an opinion column for CNN about the disastrous consequences of social media for the human condition. Having spent a day to process his words, I'm left with one inescapable conclusion: Keen needs to take a broader view of history. I call this "inescapable" because it holds true whether or not you agree with him. If you reject his premise that them kids aint right, then you probably think he needs to look at all the many technological and societal revolutions throughout the millennia and the shortsighted people who have railed against them, only to be proven wrong. But what if you agree with that premise, and like Keen, you fear that Facebook will "Zuck up" the species, or at least take it sweetly in the hayloft then sell the videos to Zynga?
Then I think you would still have to conclude that he lacks perspective, because he simply doesn't go far enough. His main concern, which he backs up with the
quacking noises words of Techdirt's good friend Sherry Turkle, is that social media is causing people to build their identities based on what people think of them rather than magically conjuring up an identity from within—and that this is a tragedy for humanity:
But this shift to a Facebook world of incessant "friending," Professor Turkle correctly warns us, is a "seductive fantasy" which is weakening us both as individuals and as a society. The problem, she explains, is that a "capacity for solitude is what nurtures great relationships." But in today's always-on social media world, our solitude has been replaced by incessant online updates, which both weaken our sense of self and our ability to create genuine friendships.
What it means, of course, is that we are creating a world in which our sense of identity, of who we actually are, is defined by what others think of us. Social media's ubiquity means that we are losing that most precious of human things -- our sense of self . Our devices are always on; our "Timeline" (Facebook's product which greedily attempts to capture our entire life narrative) is there for everyone to see; we are living in public on a radically transparent global network that, by 2020, will be fed by 50 billion intelligent devices carried by the majority of people on the planet.
This is disappointingly short-sighted. How could Keen reach this conclusion without noticing that the telephone also created more intercommunication and immediacy within communities, and thus should be rejected as well? Or that earlier still, international postage did us a great disservice by inundating our identities with annoying perspectives from around the world? If I am to follow someone backwards into this brave old world of isolation, I want a true leader who knows how to go big or go home (and "home" should be like, a cave, or something). In fact, I can't think of a single instant in the history of human civilization where members of a community have not largely defined their identity and value based on the standards and demands of that community. I'm beginning to suspect that farming may be to blame—or maybe cave painting? Frankly I'm not sure why we spend so much time coming up with words to express our thoughts and get feedback from others, violating the sanctity of our identities by tempering them with a variety of viewpoints, when all we really need are hunting commands. So why isn't Keen championing that cause?
Or maybe it's not history Keen is lacking—maybe it's philosophy. After all, there's a simple solution to his problem: solipsism. Wasn't it Descartes' first principle that the self is the only thing one can be sure exists? And someone who hates progress so much should never need more than one principle. If we just accept that nobody else is real, then it won't bother us when they tweet photos of their breakfast anymore. Ah, but I guess then we wouldn't get the other benefits Keen mentions:
But remember, the less we publicly announce about ourselves, the more mysterious and thus the more interesting our private selves become.
Wait, now I'm confused. I thought the whole idea was to be less narcissistic, and not base our identities on the opinions of others. That sure sounds like a high-school-level attempt to cultivate a public identity to me, but since I've now decided that neither Keen nor anyone reading this actually exists, I'll let it pass and focus on building my self-esteem by beating myself at Words With Friends, which is way more fun when you renounce your friends. Still, I expect more from figments of my imagination, and I hope Keen will realize that he's only scratched the surface of the vile threat to our humanity that "community" represents.

Be very careful when editing this file. Simple mistakes can make the server fail to start or operate correctly.
The order of directives is important, because the server executes them in the order in which they appear in obj.conf. The outcome of some directives affects the execution of other directives.
For PathCheck directives, the order within the PathCheck section is not so important because the server executes all PathCheck directives. However, the order within the ObjectType section is very important, because if an ObjectType directive sets an attribute value, no other ObjectType directive can change that value. For example, if the default ObjectType directives are listed in the following order (which is the incorrect way), every request will have its type value set to text/plain, and the server will not have a chance to set the type according to the extension of the requested resource.
ObjectType fn="force-type" type="text/plain" ObjectType fn="type-by-extension"
Similarly, the order of directives in the Service section is very important. The server executes the first Service directive that matches the current request and does not execute the others.
The number and names of parameters depend on the function. The order of parameters on the line is not important.
Items in the obj.conf file are case-sensitive including function names, parameter names, parameter values, and path names.
The C language allows function names to be composed only of letters, digits, and underscores. You may use the hyphen (-) character in the configuration file in place of underscore (_) for your C code function names. This is only true for function names.
Quotation marks (") are only required around the value strings when there is a space in the string. Otherwise, they are optional. Each open quotation mark must be matched by a closed quotation mark.
Spaces are not allowed at the beginning of a line except when continuing the previous line.
Spaces are not allowed before or after the equal (=) sign that separates the name and value.
Spaces are not allowed at the end of a line or on a blank line.
A long line may be continued on the next line by beginning the next line with a space or tab.
Always use forward slashes (/) rather than backslashes (\) in path names on the Windows platform. A backslash escapes the next character.
Comments begin with a pound (#) sign. If you manually add comments to obj.conf, then use the Admin Console or CLI to make changes to your server, your comments are overwritten when obj.conf is updated.

Bad reputations are easy to get and nearly impossible to reverse—until now. Social media, specifically Facebook, is a powerful vehicle that can help fitness facilities shed a public perception that they never wanted. Facebook now has more than 800 million active users. More than half of them log on daily. The average person has 130 friends, and the average person "likes" 80 brands or companies. The people are out there, they are a captive audience, and they want to like you.
The following are four ways for your health club to get "liked":
- Ask people to "like" you. If you are going to use Facebook to help manage your reputation, you first need to get your members to "like" you. The easiest way to get them to do so is simply to ask—by sending an e-mail blast to members, posting signs around the club and ensuring your sales staff ask new members to "like" you. No one wants to like a fan page that no one else likes. If you don't have fans, then people assume it is for a reason.
- Be transparent. When a member registers a complaint on your Facebook wall, your first thought might be to hit the little "X" beside the comment and send the complaint into the cyberspace trash can, but this is not a solution. As I mentioned before, the average person has a few hundred friends. If you delete their complaint without a resolution, they will tell all their friends. Instead, handle the issue, and then make sure to let everyone see how you handled it. Did your company accidentally make a mistake? If so, apologize for the error, suggest a solution and thank the member for bringing the situation to your attention. You should have a member service department. If you do, use it. If the complaint is that one of your machines is out of order, then snap a picture of your maintenance person repairing it and post that picture on Facebook. Show your current and prospective members that you have nothing to hide.
- Give away free stuff. One of my favorite things to do is run contests on Facebook. I love to enter contests myself. I will enter almost any contest that promises me the possibility of walking away with stuff. For example, I frequent a University of Michigan football bar that holds a raffle at halftime each week. You can buy tickets for $5 each. I buy $15 in tickets, and one time I won a hat. I was pumped about it. It didn't matter that the price tag on the hat was $12; I entered a contest, and I won. You can get people like me to like you by using the (very basic and free) "questions" app. Offer an incentive in the form of a giveaway for interaction. Suggestion: Have people do a flexing pose in your gym (or wearing your club's shirt in public places), post the pictures on your page by a certain date, then have all your fans vote for their favorite. The winner receives something like a hat, gift card, T-shirt or something else of your choosing.
- Engage with your fans. One of the best side effects of social media is that it gives a personality to a company or brand. The formerly silent company now has a name, a face and a voice. Find the right person at your facility (perhaps a marketing director if you can't afford a social media manager) to manage your page and have them post daily or multiple times a day. Make sure they respond to all questions and comments. They also should "like" people's comments or their status. For example, if you post, "What's your favorite post-workout meal?" a fan might reply, "I like a protein shake and tuna." Some gyms and companies forget that second step of responding to their comment. It can be as simple as, "That's a great suggestion! It is important to have protein for a post-meal workout." A response can bring a smile to their day.
A reputation can be destroyed in one day. It may take a while to gain it back, but by doing just a few simple things on Facebook you are on the right track. With every day and every week, and with every post and every new fan, you are on your way to making your brand what you want it to be.

Home-Start Lambeth is looking for volunteers to support local families
Home-Start Lambeth trains volunteers to work with families with young children and give practical and emotional support to manage and resolve problems.
Volunteers visit families for 2-3 hours per week, using their own parenting and grandparenting experiences to find solutions. This might be through listening to the parent, reading with the children or helping the family go out to the park.
Volunteers are given a free high-quality training course to develop their skills and prepare them for the things they may encounter with their family. They make new friends, obtain good experience to add to their CV and have a lot of fun too.
A volunteer says - "I really enjoyed my time with Home-Start Lambeth and found it an invaluable experience. The training was excellent and prepared me well for visiting my family".
A family says - "The support I received from Home-Start has been a great experience. I have learnt skills in managing my children's behaviour. Also it's good to communicate with a supportive and understanding person. I've gained confidence and I was very happy with the result."
The next volunteer training course will take place in the autumn. For more information, contact Home-Start Lambeth on (020) 79249292 or firstname.lastname@example.com or visit our website http://www.homestartlambeth.co.uk
Charity number:1112014. All volunteers will have a DBS check.

Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs can be defined with any number of programming languages. On a UNIX/Linux machine, you're likely to find CGI programs written as Bourne shell or Perl scripts.
Under UNIX/Linux, there are extra CGIStub processes running that the server uses to aid CGI execution. These processes are created only during the first access to a CGI. Their number varies depending upon the CGI load on the server. Do not kill these CGIStub processes. They disappear when the server is stopped.
For more information see the discussion regarding MinCGIStub, MaxCGIStub, and CGIStubIdleTimeout in Web Server's Performance Tuning and Sizing Guide.
On a Windows computer, you might find CGI programs written in C++ or batch files. For Windows, CGI programs written in a Windows-based programming language such as Visual Basic use a different mechanism to operate with the server. They are called Windows CGI programs.
In order to run the command-line utilities, you need to manually set the Path variable to include server_root/bin/https/bin.
Regardless of the programming language, all CGI programs accept and return data in the same manner. For information about writing CGI programs, see the following sources of information:
Web Server Developer's Guide
The Common Gateway Interface at:
Articles about CGI available on the online documentation web site at:
The following figure describes how a CGI request is processed in Web Server 7.0:
There are two ways to store CGI programs on your server machine:
Specify a directory that contains only CGI programs. All files are run as programs regardless of the file extensions.
Specify that CGI programs are all a certain file type. That is, they all use the file extensions .cgi, .exe, or .bat. The programs can be located in any directory in or under the document root directory.
You can enable both options at the same time if desired.
There are benefits to either implementation. If you want to allow only a specific set of users to add CGI programs, keep the CGI programs in specified directories and restrict access to those directories. If you want to allow anyone who can add HTML files to be able to add CGI programs, use the file type alternative. Users can keep their CGI files in the same directories as their HTML files.
If you choose the directory option, your server attempts to interpret any file in that directory as a CGI program. By the same token, if you choose the file type option, your server attempts to process any files with the file extensions .cgi, .exe, or .bat as CGI programs. If a file has one of these extensions but is not a CGI program, an error occurs when a user attempts to access it.
By default, the file extensions for CGI programs are .cgi, .exe and .bat. However, you can change which extensions indicate CGI programs by modifying the MIME types file. You can do this by choosing the Server Preferences tab and clicking the MIME Types link.

After Manjrekar made a comment that cricket fans in India are Indian cricket mad and not cricket mad specifically seeing the crowds we have had in this tournament, I have seen a lot of musing over the crowds in the tournament over all. While that may not exactly be a direct consequence of the Manjrekar comment, it is still a bit irritating.Originally Posted by Jungle Jumbo
Firstly, all matches of the tournament are in 3-4 venues. It cannot be expected that people will throng all matches when they have options and will obviously prefer matches they find more competitive. The home team matches will obviously have larger crowds. Also, stadiums are quite large as far as capacity is concerned.
The atmosphere in the West Indies-Australia match was tremendous and that wasn't a match India was playing. A fairly large crowd though still not 100% full stadium. I am quite happy with the crowd numbers we have seen and expecting larger crowds as some people have done at various ends would be a big mistake in the first place.

About Me
Hi, I'm Star or Lory, if you guys are really interested in stuff like this.
I started writing stories about these two from long ago, not to mention drawing them, but, the only story I managed to post here was shut down because, as I found out later, I was underage and wasn't allowed to post stories with mature content here. But, as of some time, I am the legal age to do so, so I will be updating my stories with Sesshomaru and Kagome pretty soon.
Hm, what more can I tell you, because I doubt you would be interested to hear about me much. But, oh well: I'm a Sagittarius, born in December when it's cold and barely snows, with the bad habit of talking too much. I wish this site would let me put up stories that don't really involve Kagome as a possible mate for Sesshomaru, because I usually don't pare up the manga/anime character with one of it's co-stars. But, I find it quite difficult, so I will make more of these pair.
Aaaand.. I'm out of ideas. Well, if you do want to know something, please ask :D
Oh, and I do commissions and art challenges and, and... what do you call those things...hm... oh yeah, requests. Though I'm not that good at drawing, as you could see from the samples I have here, though there are way more on DeviantArt (under the name Loryx if you are interested) I would like to become even better with your help.
Well, that's not all about me, being a human and all, but I hope I sum up something... I know I didn't but hope dies only at the end :D

Residency Program
Phone: 315 464-8672
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Residency Program at Upstate Medical University is a 3-year advanced program (PGY2-PGY4) of progressive education and responsibility.
As of July 2016, the program consists of 6 residents each year for a total complement of 18.
Our program offers a range of clinical experience based on faculty practice. The faculty have interests which collectively span the scope of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Resident educational opportunities are further enhanced by collaboration with colleagues, particularly those in the Departments of Orthopedics, Anesthesia, Pain, Neurology, and Neurosurgery. We continue to work with other training programs and share resources in our individual areas of excellence. For example, our program offers an annual EMG course that is open to residents in other programs, and our residents, in turn, enroll in orthotics and prosthetics courses offered at nearby programs. We participate in a regional, weekly didactic conference session with nearby programs through videoconferencing technology.
We have faculty active on national boards, national disability related organizations, the Institute of Medicine, National Institute for Health, and the Center for Disease Control. We have ongoing research programs and our funded research is in the areas of aging and secondary conditions with disabilities. The program will offer you excellent training. An indication of our commitment to educational excellence is our long-standing policy of operating some services uncovered by residents, in order to ensure that assignments provide definable educational value. This creates an environment in which the resident has both appropriate clinical experiences and the time necessary for academic study, reflection, and hands-on experience with allied health staff.
Our full-time faculty serve as role models, coordinators, guides and mentors. Each resident is assigned a faculty mentor, who develops/reviews/approves education and research plans, supervises the resident's portfolio development and assists with career development needs. We have faculty active on national boards, national disability-related organizations, the Institute of Medicine, National Institute of Health, and the Center for Disease Control. Yet faculty members remain actively involved in the care of patients. We believe that this direct involvement enhances the learning environment for residents.
Our program offers a range of clinical experience based on faculty practice. The faculty have interests which collectively span the scope of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. We are particularly strong in Pediatric Rehabilitation and Electrodiagnosis.

When you decide to buy a house, it's more than just a place to live; it becomes your home. It's also one of the biggest financial decision you may make in your life. So, it's important to have a professional working on your behalf, making sure that your interests are protected.
Although a home purchase is often guided by emotion, this is a business transaction. A professional Realtor® is trained to handle the business side of your transaction. At RE/MAX Alliance, our agents strive to provide you with valuable knowledge about the home buying process, navigating you every step of the way.
Remember, when you work with a buyer's agent, they work FOR you, but you don't pay them. You need a buyer's agent, and since it doesn't cost you anything for their representation, it's a win-win! Typically speaking, all commissions are paid by the seller, although all terms are negotiable. Most homes on the market are represented through a seller's agent, so it's important for you, as a buyer, to be equally represented by a buyer's agent.
So what is all involved in the home buying process, you might be wondering? Well, simply put, a lot. Check out this handy flowchart that will give you a high level overall impression of everything that could be involved in your home buying process.
Questions? Don't worry. Contact one of our professional, experienced agents in your area via the form on this page, or browse through our other buyer information articles here online.

Workers continued to stash more money in their 401(k) plans in the second quarter, but the stock market's modest decline left them slightly further behind in reaching their savings goals.
Fidelity Investments, the nation's largest 401(k) administrator, said on Thursday that the average balance among its nearly 12 million accountholders was $72,800 at the end of June.
That's 2.4 percent less than at the end of March, and largely unchanged from last year's second-quarter average.

Although traditionally known as a sports Mecca, Dallas has a great deal to offer in terms of history and arts too! Football, baseball, and basketball enthusiasts will undoubtedly want to visit world famous centers such as Cowboys Stadium, American Airlines Center, Gerald J. Ford Stadium, and Moody Coliseum to make homage to the Dallas Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars as well as the Texas Rangers and SMU Mustangs. However, art lovers will find Dallas to be culturally educational, with some of the world's finest museums.
The Sixth Floor Museum, dedicated entirely to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, is the only of its kind. The Meadows Museum of Art houses one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of Spanish Art outside of Spain and features the work of famed artists such as El Greco and Picasso. Those looking for some serenity and peace of mind should pay a visit to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, while those looking for wind in their hair should spend a day at the Zero Gravity Thrill Rides Amusement Park. A family trip to the Dallas Zoo and Dallas World Aquarium is necessary and fun for both kids and adults. Find any kind of restaurant imaginable on Beltline Road or shop the exclusive stores peppered throughout the city. Whether you're looking for fun, food or adventure, the experience will almost always be greater nearby a Radisson Dallas hotel.

Assemblyman Patrick Diegnan Jr. (D-South Plainfield) has introduced legislation to help veterans access services and benefits in New Jersey.
If passed, Diegnan's legislation would establish a veterans service office in each of the state's 21 counties. The county veterans service offices would then coordinated with federal and state agencies, as well as other programs assisting veterans in neighboring counties. Specifically the offices would provide information central to veterans on issues such as:
- Employment
- Education
- Burial
- Counseling
- Housing
- Social/Medical Services
Although the bill was introduced by Assemblyman Diegnan in May and referred to a Military and Veterans' Affairs Committee, no hearings have been scheduled to discuss the measure.
The goal of the bill is to utilize existing personnel and resources to achieve a more coordinated system of delivering services to veterans.

If they were going to license the manga, I would think they would license the anime as well. This series I plan on picking up.
I though this company wasn't interested in picking up new releases if they were taking their time with their current releases.

not really surprised that they were going to get it since they have the other two popular Kyoto Animation anime Haruhi and Lucky Star. I always wanted to check this series out maybe I'll look into buying it after I preview the first couple episodes.

The first two episodes can be a bit slow (setting up the situation). Pick a couple of random later episodes or even from the second season for a better feel -- it won't spoil much. Otherwise, its a bit like judging the Nanoha series on the first two episodes of the first season, not really representative.

Aye... I might be inclined to go for my first Blu-ray if they offered it. As far as dubbing, I'm typically not a dub fan but it would be academically interesting if they took a whack at redubbing the songs in English.
Lack of a Japanese track would be an insta-fail but I doubt Bandai would do that.

After the company's panel, Bandai Entertainment Marketing Director Robert Napton clarified with ANN that the release format of K-ON! whether it will be Blu-ray Disc, DVD, or both has not been decided yet. The panel announced a cast for Bandai Entertainment's K-ON! marketing videos, but Napton emphasized that no announcement has been made about an English dubbing cast, or whether there will be a dubbing. The cast for the K-ON! marketing videos is Cristina Vee as Mio, Karri Shirou as Yui, "Kix" as Tsumugi, and "Briana" as Ritsu."

Hm, I'm not very fond of how Shirou tries to emulate the Japanese way the song was originally sung. Like, if the original song had heavily accented Engrish, Shirou tries to recreate that sound. It's not a very flattering sound to fluent English speakers' ears, methinks, at least not to mine.
Other than that, I'm very excited for the DVDs and manga. I've seen some sources claiming that Bandai has rights for both DVDs and Blurays for K-ON, though that could just be counting the chickens before the eggs hatch.

The players will win because the players always win.
The players won in 1994-95, even if the consensus was they lost by surrendering to a punitive rookie salary cap and other major concessions.
The players won in 2004-05, even though the consensus was that by agreeing to a hard salary cap, they got clobbered by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman at the negotiating table.
The players will win because the minute the ink is dry on a new collective agreement, agents and general managers will find clever ways to circumvent the spirit and language of the new deal.
This is the unchanging way of the NHL world, where 30 teams annually compete for one prize. Team owners get frustrated by losing and eventually instruct the people who work for them to do whatever it takes to stop losing.
He makes a pretty good point. No matter how good the owners feel with whatever they get in the CBA, their GMs and the players' agents are going to find ways to mess it all up - just like they always do.

Africa attractiveness survey 2014
Executing growth
Our 2014 Africa attractiveness survey reveals a dramatic improvement in the continent's perceived attractiveness, now at second place, and although FDI numbers paint a mixed picture, companies are successfully growing in Africa.
Good progress, despite the setbacks
In 2013, Africa's share of global FDI projects reached 5.7%, its highest level in a decade. The number of new FDI projects in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) increased by 4.7%, although the total number of new FDI projects declined by 3.1%, due to the political uncertainty in North Africa. However, the average size of FDI projects increased to US$70.1m in 2013, from US$60.1m in 2012. In terms of destinations, while South Africa maintained its position as the top FDI destination, emerging hotspots for investment are Kenya, Ghana, Mozambique, Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia.
In previous editions of the Africa attractiveness survey, we have highlighted three broad shifts. These continued to gain traction in 2013:
|the growth of investment into SSA,
|the expansion of intra-African investment,
|the shift of investment from extractive to consumer-facing sectors
The prime factors behind the sub-Saharan African growth story are strong macroeconomic growth and outlook, improving business environment, rising consumer class, abundant natural resources, democratic dividend and infrastructure development.
African investors nearly tripled their share of FDI projects over the last decade, and Intra-African investment has also driven job creation on the continent. This growth is fueled by the need for improved regional value chains and strengthening regional integration.
With the diversification of economic activity in Africa gathering pace, growing employment levels are creating a new consumer class. This has paved the way for increasing FDI in consumer-focused services and manufacturing sectors. Sectors other than extractive industries are growing in importance.
Giant leap in Africa's relative attractiveness
The most striking observation from this year's survey is how far Africa's perceived attractiveness has improved. In less than five years, Africa has risen to become the second most attractive investment destination in the world, tied with Asia.
South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya are considered the most attractive investment destinations in SSA, whereas Morocco is seen as the leading destination for doing business in North Africa, largely on account of its relatively stable political environment.
However, the perception gap between those already doing business on the continent, and those with no business presence, remains striking.
More specifically, those already active on the continent rank it as by far the most attractive investment destination in the world today. Those who are yet to invest are far less enthusiastic, ranking Africa as the least attractive investment destination in the world. The gap could hardly be wider.
Even though investment perceptions have improved so dramatically, actual investment in Africa has not accelerated as much, since many potential foreign investors continue to view the entire continent as a high-risk destination.
This view is often based on perceptions that are 20 to 30 years out of date. But it is important to highlight the real challenges of doing business on the continent.
Africa is an inherently challenging place to do business, but many companies pursuing a long-term African strategy have generated excellent returns from their investments.
Successfully executing growth strategies in Africa
Some of the world's largest and most-admired companies, emerging multinationals and regional growth companies are successfully executing growth strategies in Africa. This should instill confidence in the potential of Africa's growing markets.
We have captured the lessons these companies have learned in the form of the 7 Ps framework. This can assist businesses in their decision-making on, and in their responses to, the factors that are the most critical to effective strategy execution.
This is not offered as a recipe for success — there is clearly no such thing. However, a focus on these factors has been consistently evident in strategies that have been successfully, and sustainably, executed over time in Africa.

Today, on the Atheist Experience, I'll be talking about the Prosperity Gospel. I thought I'd post a couple of interesting links about it, in case people want to explore on their own:
- The WikiPedia article on Prosperity Theology
- The Time article, "Does God Want You to be Rich?"
- Atlantic Monthly: "Did Christianity Cause the Crash?" (A better title would be "The Prosperity Gospel Contributed to the Crash–Should you Pick Up the Pieces?"
- Finally, Senator Grassley has done some investigation into these ministers, but it's not clear what will come of it.
Feel free to comment on the show on this thread.

Prairie Falcon
Prairie falcons are prairie birds. They have light brown and cream-colored feathers with spots on their chest. They have a body length of 15 to 19 inches and a 1-meter 3.5 inch wingspan. They inhabit hills, canyons and mountains of grasslands in a large portion of North America.
This falcon actively searches for prey while in flight. They are very vocal and are usually heard before they are seen. Prairie falcons make their nests on rocky cliffs. They often use old hawk or raven nests, but do not rest in trees and do not make their own nests. The female lays 3 to 5 eggs and the male provides food while she is incubating the eggs and for a week after the chicks hatch.
The chicks leave the nest 38 days after they are hatched. The parents continue to feed them for 30 to 35 days after they leave the nest.
Prairie falcons eat small mammals, especially ground squirrels. However, they will also hunt other birds, reptiles and insects.

Sunday's New York Times contained yet another column on the OTC derivatives markets. This time, the commentary focused on transparency, as well as on the amendments regarding electronic trading platforms proposed by Representative Scott Garrett and others.
The article notes there are two aspects to the transparency debate. The first – regulatory transparency – "has pretty much been accomplished." Trade and position details are being reported to a centralized trade information warehouse to which regulators have access.
To which we say: Thank you.
The article goes on to contend that another issue remains: "a lack of transparency in the market as it relates to swaps customers hasn't been addressed."
The column relies on some estimates provided by a small trade group to support its contentions. These estimates are supposedly part of a study of transaction costs and potential cost savings that the group conducted. Has anyone seen this study? We have not, though we have asked to see it. So too has Rep. Garrett, who was told it would be provided during a recent congressional hearing. (We also note that letters from BlackRock and the Investment Company Institute supporting the proposed amendments were read into the record in that hearing, but were not mentioned in the Times piece.)
It's ironic that while one trade group's elusive report is treated as credible, the research that ISDA has conducted and publicly released finds no place in the column. Our research – and we understand that third parties can and should consider the source of the research – finds that swaps prices are incredibly competitive in the most liquid parts of the market. It also finds that the potential price improvements that infrequent swaps users may receive from the CFTC's electronic execution rules are dwarfed by the higher costs that these rules will impose on all market participants (see Costs and Benefits of Mandatory Electronic Execution Requirements). We'd be happy to shed some light by arranging a simple demonstration of live pricing that is available to derivatives end-users.
Finally, the column considers neither how swaps trade now nor the pricing information that exists. End-users can call firms (as many as they like) for quotes. They can review the price screens that these firms provide to them. They can look up prices on their Bloomberg terminals. They can access existing electronic platforms for price information.
In other words, as it relates to swaps customers, there really isn't "a lack of transparency in the market."

The Beatles in Mono The Complete Mono Recordings
Limited Edition - Remastered, Box Set
Product Description
Limited digitally remastered thirteen CD box set that contains the 10 albums originally released by The Beatles in mono (1963's Please Please Me up through 1968's The White Album) plus two further discs of mono singles masters. As an added bonus, the mono Help! and Rubber Soul discs also include the original 1965 stereo mixes, which have not been previously released on CD. These albums will be packaged in mini-vinyl CD replicas of the original sleeves with all original inserts and label designs retained. At the beginning of the '60s, stereophonic recordings were just coming into their own but many households didn't own stereophonic record players. In most cases, an album would originally be mixed in mono for mass consumption and then separately mixed in stereo for those with modern equipment. As the '60s wore on, mono mixes became secondary over stereo and then were eventually abandoned altogether. The Beatles' first 10 albums were mixed twice: once in mono and then in stereo. The mono mixes were sometimes strikingly different to the stereo mixes, which has ensured their collectability over the years. This box contains all the officially released Beatles mono mixes in one limited edition box set. Capitol.
The Beatles Mono Box Set was compiled as a special interest package for the hard-core fan. It presents the first ten albums in re-mastered mono (the final 3 albums made their debuts in stereo only), and a double album of singles and EPs, called "Mono Masters". At the time of writing, the mono albums are not available individually. Why would anyone want a newly minted mono collection? The final mono songs were sometimes different. Stereo mixes were usually done days, if not weeks after the original mono mix, and could include different takes when the engineers made the overdubs. Stereo mixes, particularly for the first five albums, did not include as much critical listening from George Martin, and almost none from the Fab' Four. Also, stereo in early 60's England was not broadcast over the air, and the format was largely the preserve of the hi-fi snob. For more than half The Beatles recorded repertoire, the most affordable "weapon of choice" for the twisting, shouting teenage market was the mono mix. Ironically - this box set is the best The Beatles have ever sounded. Like the stereo sibling these are re-mastered, not re-mixed, but unlike the stereo, they have not been clipped or limited to push levels closer to current music ingested through our MP3 players. These albums are cleaner than ever before and compared to the 1980s CD editions you're taken aback by how much dynamic range is on those original tapes. Nothing in this box sounds like a 45 year old recording. Each disc is presented as if it were a miniature "33", replete with plastic anti-scratch sleeve, inner paper sleeve, original album cover, inserts and all original text rendered frustratingly small for anyone old enough to have bought the LPs the first time around.

Editor's Note: Second life. It can represent a chance to do over. To reset and refocus your life. To shake off the past and give yourself an opportunity to change and grow. In our series, Second Life, we took a look at how those in the small business world, out of necessity or desire, reach beyond their comfort zones to re-create themselves and their world. These stories celebrate those who saw potential in being something else or creating something that wasn't and were brave enough to take the plunge into the deep, dark waters of entrepreneurship.
CARBONEAR, NL — If you take a walk along Water Street in downtown Carbonear any day between Wednesday and Sunday, you'll see lots of vehicles parked around an old stone building.
For close to a decade, there was no reason for people to go check out the building once known as Rorke's Stone Jug. Initially built in 1860 as a store and home by Irish merchant John Rorke, it continued to operate as a family business into the 1970s. A bar operated there for a few years before closing in 2008.
Two years ago, Bruce Branan finally realized his dream of opening a restaurant and bar in the historic property. An American businessman, he first came to Newfoundland in 2007 and was immediately impressed with the building.
"I like old buildings," said Branan, who has purchased historic properties in a number of countries over the years. "I think I was looking for somewhere — I don't know where — that was kind of off the grid, because I lived in Asia for many, many years, and I wanted something in North America."
The pub concept appealed to Branan.
"I thought, well, I wouldn't mind living here. I like it here. And what's missing for me was somewhere to eat. I mean, there's a lot of places to eat, but when you go into a store and you look for something to eat, you'd say there's a lot of stuff, but no food … I wanted to create something I'd like myself — beer and pizzas, wood-fired grill."
He did not have a background in being a restaurateur and admits to not being fully prepared for the difficulties one can encounter in setting up such a business, but after spending a considerable amount of time and money on the property, The Stone Jug was ready to open for business in December of 2015. Its menu includes a variety of soups, salads, sandwiches, seafood dishes, steaks, pastas, burgers and artisan pizzas.
Since then, there's been a noticeable increase in the amount of people congregating around the old downtown of Carbonear, which also features the Rorke Store Museum across the street from The Stone Jug, the Carbonear Railway Museum, the Old Post Office Museum and several small businesses. Over the summer, The Stone Jug had 70 people on its payroll and hosted weddings almost every week. It has also served as a venue for charity events and entertainers.
"For me, I thought there was potential in Carbonear, but Carbonear had not realized its potential yet," he said. "And you see now, we are starting to develop up a little bit down here. Slowly, but it is changing, and it is changing for the positive."
Branan gives credit the local town council for being a good municipal government to work it. The town recently paid for an economic development study focused on downtown redevelopment, and the odds are any plans for generating more opportunities in downtown Carbonear will hinge on the continued existence of The Stone Jug.
Originally known as Rorke's Stone Jug, construction on this historic property started in 1860.

This manual describes the policy requirements for the Ubuntu distribution. This includes the structure and contents of the Ubuntu archive and several design issues of the operating system, as well as technical requirements that each package must satisfy to be included in the distribution.
This manual also describes Ubuntu policy as it relates to creating Ubuntu packages. It is not a tutorial on how to build packages, nor is it exhaustive where it comes to describing the behavior of the packaging system. Instead, this manual attempts to define the interface to the package management system that the developers have to be conversant with.[1]
The footnotes present in this manual are merely informative, and are not part of Ubuntu policy itself.
The appendices to this manual are not necessarily normative, either. Please see Introduction and scope of these appendices, Appendix A for more information.
In the normative part of this manual, the words must, should and may, and the adjectives required, recommended and optional, are used to distinguish the significance of the various guidelines in this policy document. Packages that do not conform to the guidelines denoted by must (or required) will generally not be considered acceptable for the Ubuntu distribution. Non-conformance with guidelines denoted by should (or recommended) will generally be considered a bug, but will not necessarily render a package unsuitable for distribution. Guidelines denoted by may (or optional) are truly optional and adherence is left to the maintainer's discretion.
These classifications are roughly equivalent to the bug severities serious (for must or required directive violations), minor, normal or important (for should or recommended directive violations) and wishlist (for optional items). [2]
Much of the information presented in this manual will be useful even when building a package which is to be distributed in some other way or is intended for local use only.
The Ubuntu distribution differs from its parent Debian distribution in a number of significant ways. In this document, these are marked with the tag Ubuntu:.
This manual is distributed via the Ubuntu package

Christian Schwarz added new sections on March 15th, 1997, and reworked/restructured it in April-July 1997. Christoph Lameter contributed the "Web Standard". Julian Gilbey largely restructured it in 2001.
Since September 1998, the responsibility for the contents of the Debian version
of this document lies on the
debian-policy mailing
list. Proposals are discussed there and inserted into policy after
a certain consensus is established. The actual editing is done by a group of
