The cooperation agreement that was signed last Friday November 18 in Yaounde is for theplacement of American agro-forestry volunteers. Heifer International Cameroon, an integrated animal-agriculture development organisation and the American Peace Corps, Cameroon last Friday November 18 in Yaounde signed Memorandum Of Understanding, MOU, to formalise their long-standing relationship to collaborate in the placement of agro-forestry volunteers by Peace Corps to live and work in communities where Heifer is assisting farmers.
The five-year renewable agreement was signed by Peace Corps Cameroon and Heifer International Cameroon Country Directors, Dr LaHoma Smith Romocki and Dr Njakoi Henry, respectively.
"It's a way of formalising a process, but not the beginning as Peace Corps and Heifer have been working together for many years. The signing of the document is the official recognition of this relationship.
The signing is also a way for us to stop, reflect on what we have been doing and think about what we want to do next," explained Dr Romocki. She said her organisation wanted to move to the next level by working with farmers to increase their ability to produce and sell their produce.
"It's fine to have good yields, but it is even more important to go beyond making money for basic needs to planning for the future of the education of one's children," she said.
« I'm a very optimistic about the future of our collaboration. We intend to increase the number of our volunteers with Heifer and really develop ways of supporting Heifer activities in all the regions.
We are really interested in supporting their expansion to the South and East Regions next year," concluded the Peace Corps Cameroon Country Director.
According to Dr Njakoi, the advantage of having Peace Corps volunteers is that they have the know-how which Heifer does not have. "Even if we had such know how, we still would still prefer them because the cost of their deployment with us is 90 per cent borne by Peace Corps," he pointed out. Peace Corps volunteers, according to him, possess technical skills in agro-forestry, small enterprise development, community health and nutrition.
But once in their host communities, they become very useful to the people as they help with health projects and teaching Mathematics and other science subjects in local schools.
They also help local communities in applying for small grants from the US Embassy for constructing and equipping classrooms and health centres. "And when such grants are promoted by volunteers, they tend to stand better chances of being accepted. This is the opportunity that we want to offer to the communities," explained Dr Njakoi.

McNealy: Rehired CFO a top pick from the start

Sun's CFO to retireOctober 27, 2005
Galaxy remakes Sun's server strategySeptember 12, 2005
"I knew going into that search I always had a brilliant answer in my back pocket," Sun CEO McNealy said in a meeting with reporters here on Friday.
However, the company had a "fiduciary duty" to perform a thorough search, in case someone else was a better pick, McNealy said. "I wanted to make sure we gave everyone in the internal and external space a chance to take a good hard look it," he said.
Sun announced Lehman's return to the CFO post last week, a move that sees the 55-year-old resign his position on Sun's board of directors to replace Steve McGowan. McNealy said Friday that McGowan, who last October announced his plan to retire, will "stay on board at least through the end of this fiscal year" in June.
Lehman, who left the CFO post in 2002, apparently was a tough negotiator. In a regulatory filing Friday, Sun disclosed Lehman's new salary will be $700,000, not including bonus. He also was granted 350,000 shares of restricted stock, and options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock. Half the options and restricted stock will become available in 18 months and the rest in three years.
By comparison, in the fiscal year 2005 ended last June, McNealy had a salary of $121,789, bonus of $1.1 million and 1.25 million stock options. President Jonathan Schwartz had a salary of $812,308, bonus of $280,000 and 800,000 options, according to an earlier regulatory filing.
In a brief appearance in the meeting Friday, Lehman assured reporters he's up to speed on Sun's situation. That situation includes new server products such as UltraSparc T1 "Niagara"-based servers and "Galaxy" line of x86 servers. It likely also covers Sun's inability to achieve consistent revenue growth.
"I just left the board on Wednesday," Lehman said. "Sun's board is extremely active and very knowledgeable. They understand the strategy, vision, choices, the resource levels, the investments. I come in with a good base of knowledge."
One thing that's changed since Lehman departed in 2002 is the arrival of Schwartz as president and chief operating officer. But Lehman said he is well-acquainted with Schwartz, who reported to Lehman for a year and even shared his office.
"There's a comfort level of me coming back in. I've now got the time, the energy and the passion to come back to this place and make a difference," Lehman said. "I feel very good about where the company is at. We're in better shape product-wise, strategy-wise, and resource-wise than we have been in several years."

For Openers...
> Mizzou Basketball opens Southeastern Conference play on Wednesday as the Tigers host the Georgia Bulldogs at Mizzou Arena ... It's the second consecutive year the Tigers open league play at home ... Mizzou earned an 84-68 win over Alabama in last season's SEC opener on Jan. 8, 2013.
> Mizzou will look to open league play with a victory for the third consecutive season ... In addition to last season's win over the Crimson Tide, the Tigers handled the Oklahoma Sooners, 87-49, in the 2011-12 league opener and have won five consecutive conference home openers dating back to the 2006-07 season.
> The Tigers have been very good at home vs. league opposition since 2008-09, racking up a 38-4 mark (.905), including a perfect 9-0 home record in league play last season ... Overall the Tigers have won 13 consecutive games at home vs. SEC foes dating back to the 2006-07 season, which includes non-league wins vs. Arkansas, Mississippi State, Georgia and Vanderbilt.
> Missouri opened the 2014 calendar year with a 69-59 win over Long Beach State and owns a 26-game homecourt winning streak at Mizzou Arena dating back to the final home game of the 2011-12 campaign ... That winning streak ranks No. 1 nationally, tied with Stephen F. Austin ... The 26 consecutive home wins is the fourth-longest streak in school history and is the longest since the team won 32 consecutive home games from 2007-2010 ... Duke is No. 3 nationally with 24 wins, just ahead of Arkansas (23).
> Mizzou has been very good at home under Head Coach Frank Haith's teams ... The Tigers are 41-1 at Mizzou Arena since 2011-12 and were a perfect 17-0 at home last season.
> The win over Long Beach State helped Missouri win its 81st consecutive home game vs. non-conference opposition ... The win capped Mizzou's eighth consecutive perfect record at home in non-league action ... Missouri's last non-conference loss at home came vs. Sam Houston State in the 2005 Preseason NIT.
> Overall, Mizzou boasts a 145-21 (.873) record at home since the building opened in 2004-05 ... The Tigers are also 92-4 at home since 2008-09, amounting to an incredible .958 winning percentage.
> Missouri has used its 12-1 start to earn a Top 25 billing by both the Associated Press and USA Today/Coaches polls ... The Tigers have been ranked each season under Haith despite having just one starter back each of the last two years.
> As mentioned, the Tigers have just one starter returning from last season's 23-11 team (Jabari Brown) and no players are back that saw action on that 30-5 club during the 2011-12 campaign ... In fact, Missouri's top scorer (Clarkson), rebounder (Williams III) and assist man (Clarkson) have all played less than one full season for the Tigers ... Missouri (1) and Kansas (0) are the only clubs in college basketball currently ranked with one or fewer starters back from last season.
> Earnest Ross continues to produce career numbers for Missouri this season ... The senior has 1,030 career points, which is fourth among active Southeastern Conference players and his 557 career rebounds ranks No. 3 ... Of course Ross began his career at Auburn, so each of his four seasons have been played in the SEC.
> Speaking of Ross, his career high for scoring came against these same Georgia Bulldogs in 2011 as a sophomore at Auburn ... Ross scored 30 points on 12-of-18 shooting ... Ross will make his return to Auburn this weekend as Mizzou makes its first-ever trip to Auburn, Ala.
Mizzou Basketball Cliffs...
> Mizzou Basketball opens SEC play on Wednesday as the Tigers host Georgia in the league tip-off for both programs ... Missouri has won six consecutive league home openers dating back to a loss to Iowa State (67-66) in 2006-07 on a last-second put-back by Wesley Johnson.
> Missouri moved up to No. 21 in the Top 25 following last weekend's win over Long Beach State ... It's Mizzou's highest ranking of the year and the third consecutive season the Tigers have entered league play ranked under Frank Haith.
> Missouri once again ranks among the nation's best in rebounding ... The Tigers average 28.5 defensive boards per game, tied with Kentucky for the league lead and No. 16 nationally.
> Mizzou has used the same starting lineup in all-13 games this season.
> Georgia is making its third consecutive trip to Columbia on Wednesday ... The Tigers defeated the Bulldogs, 79-62, on Jan. 16 last year and also completed a home-and-home series with UGA on Jan. 2, 2010, with an 89-62 win.
> Mizzou will face the Bulldogs in Athens on Feb. 25 later this year and is 2-0 all-time vs. Georgia in Columbia and 1-0 all-time in Athens.
> Missouri continues to be a much-improved defensive team heading into league play ... The Tigers have not allowed their last four opponents to reach 70 points and just one opponent has reached 80 points all season (Hawaii).
> Over its last four games, Missouri is allowing 62.0 points on 36 percent shooting from the floor and 28 percent shooting from three-point range.
> How good has Jabari Brown been in the clutch? The junior guard is a perfect 3-of-3 from three-point range in his last three games in the final three minutes of the contest and is 4-of-5 from three in the final seven minutes during that stretch.
> Brown is coming off his 10th career 20-point effort in the win over Long Beach State ... The Oakland, Calif., native scored 22 points, including a critical three-point field goal with 2:18 remaining to help the Tigers finish non-league play at 12-1.
> Ryan Rosburg also enjoyed an excellent outing, grabbing a career high 11 rebounds, including four offensive boards, in 33 minutes.
> There are no players from the state of Georgia on the current Tiger roster, but that will change next season as Jakeenan Gant, the 2013 Georgia AAAAA Player of the Year, will join the club in 2014-15 ... Gant averaged 17.9 points and 9.3 rebounds as a junior and is coming off a 28-point, 20-rebound, 11-block game on Dec. 27.
> Missouri recorded a rare ACC road win on Dec. 28 at N.C. State ... Although the Tigers haven't played many road games in ACC territory, the win in Raleigh was the second in ACC country in program history ... Mizzou won 87-73 at Maryland on Jan. 24, 1989 ... It was the club's first non-league road win since a 75-68 win at Old Dominion on Dec. 30, 2011.
> Head Coach Frank Haith will coach his 308th career game overall and is a spectacular 60-17 in three seasons at Mizzou ... Haith was the fastest coach in school history to 50 wins and has just one starter back for the second consecutive campaign.
> Missouri has done a good job defensively over its last six games ... The Tigers faced two of the nation's top scoring teams, West Virginia (85.1 ppg) and UCLA (90.6 ppg), but held the two clubs a combined 35 points below their scoring norms ... Mizzou also held Western Michigan 10.6 points below its season scoring average, Illinois 6.5 points below its norm, N.C. State 13.0 points below its average and Long Beach State 8.3 points below its average.
> Missouri is being led in scoring by the dynamic junior tandem of Jordan Clarkson (19.3 ppg) and Jabari Brown (18.4) ... The duo is combining for 37.7 points per game, No. 2 in the Southeastern Conference, just behind the Auburn duo of KT Harrell and Chris Denson ... Clarkson's 19.3 points per game is No. 2 in the SEC.
> The pair is one of three teammate tandems in high-major college basketball averaging 18.0+ points per game.
> Mizzou plays in the friendly confines of Mizzou Arena where the club is 41-1 since 2011-12 and went a perfect 17-0 at home last season.
> Mizzou boasts a 145-21 (.880) record at home since the building opened in 2004-05 ... The Tigers are also 92-4 at home since 2008-09, amounting to an incredible .960 winning percentage.
> Non-conference opponents have not enjoyed their stops in Columbia, Mo., over the last few seasons and the Tigers have raced to an incredible 81 consecutive wins at home vs. non-league opposition since the end of the 2005-06 campaign ... Missouri's last non-conference loss at home came vs. Sam Houston State in the 2005 Preseason NIT, but since then, Missouri has gone nearly eight full seasons without a loss.
> That non-conference win streak is No. 2 nationally behind Duke ... Duke has won 109 consecutive non-ACC games at home.
> Jordan Clarkson recorded the first 30-point game of the SEC season on Nov. 12 and logged the 26th 30-point game during Missouri's SEC / Big 12 eras ... Clarkson needed just 18 shots to reach 31 points (12-of-18 FGs), and is one of just two Tigers during the two eras to have 30+ points, 5+ assists and zero turnovers ... Clarence Gilbert had a ridiculous 43 points, nine assists and zero turnovers vs. Iowa State in a four overtime win on Jan. 13, 2001.
> Clarkson has topped 20 points in seven of his last nine games heading into SEC play ... The junior has topped 20 points eight times in 13 games overall.
> Head Coach Frank Haith enters his third season at Missouri and will look to lead the Tigers to their third consecutive 20-win campaign ... Only Norm Stewart, Quin Snyder and Mike Anderson have enjoyed three 20-win seasons at Mizzou ... Stewart of course led the way with 17 20-win campaigns ... Snyder and Anderson each had three.
> Missouri has won at historic levels over the last five seasons ... In fact the Tigers have won 23+ games each of the last five seasons.
> The five consecutive 20-win seasons is a school record and Missouri's five consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament is the longest active streak in the Southeastern Conference.
> Mizzou Arena has been the site of two undefeated home seasons in its history ... Missouri was 18-0 in 2008-09 and was 17-0 at home last season ... Hearnes Center, the former home of Missouri Basketball, was the site of five undefeated home campaigns (1974-75, 1980-81, 1988-89, 1989-90 and 1993-94).
> Since 2006-07 (72-0) the club's margin of victory has been 25.8 points in those non-league home tilts.
> Mizzou will have two transfers sitting out this season ... Zach Price transferred from Louisville, where the 6-foot-10 forward was a member of the Cardinals' NCAA National Championship team ... Deuce Bello transferred from Baylor ... Both will be classified as redshirt juniors next season.
> Mizzou will be on national television a school-record 20 times this season ... That number has grown each of Mizzou's two years in the SEC ... The Tigers were on national TV 18 times last season, which was also a school record.
> Mizzou was picked fifth in the Southeastern Conference's preseason media poll ... Kentucky was the projected league champion.

For a used monitor, sometimes people post free equipment to this list.
Also, there used to be a newsgroup, ucd.swap, that would have local
general junk for sale (not sure if it's still in use). The Bargain

has used equipment that departments are trying to get rid of. Some
times they don't overprice it :)
For general computery bits, there's Fry's Electronics in Sacramento

This is an excellent soup, surprisingly satisfying considering how healthy it is!
The flavors were good - don't overdo the nutmeg. I think I overblended it - I would have probably liked it better if it were chunkier.
This tasted more like baby food. I tried to give it to my kids and only one would eat a little of it. This is something I will not make again. Sorry.

Since you did not include exact error messages, we can only provide
approximate answers.
It sounds to me like you did not use 'cp -a' when copying, so permissions
were not set properly on the copies.
Why did you not mount /dev/hdc1 under /usr to avoid one of the symlinks?
That's the way I would do it. It ought to work either way though.

Max Ophüls (born Maximillian Oppenheimer, 6 May 1902, Saarbrücken, Germany - 25 March 1957, Hamburg, Germany) was an influential German-born film director who worked in Germany, the United States, and France.
He took the pseudonym Ophüls while pursuing an early career in theatre so that, should he fail, it wouldn't embarrass his garment-manufacturer father. Later, during the American and French periods of his career, the spelling of his surname would occasionally be altered, most commonly through the removal of the umlaut; for the American films Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948) and Caught (1949), he was listed as "Max Opuls."
Predicting the Nazi ascendancy, Ophüls, a Jew, fled to France in 1933 after the Reichstag fire and became a French citizen in 1938. After the fall of France to Germany, he travelled through Switzerland and Italy to the USA in 1941, only to become inactive in Hollywood. Fortunately, he was rescued by a longtime fan, director Preston Sturges, and went on to direct a number of distinguished films. He returned to Europe in 1950. Though he died from rheumatic heart disease in Hamburg, Ophüls was buried in Le Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. He had made just over twenty films.
Max Ophüls's son Marcel Ophüls became a distinguished documentary-film maker.
Back in France he directed and co-wrote La Ronde (1950), which won the 1951 BAFTA Award for Best Film, and Lola Montès (1955) starring Martine Carol and Peter Ustinov, as well as Le Plaisir and The Earrings of Madame de... (1953), the latter with Danielle Darrieux and Charles Boyer, which capped his career.
All his works feature his distinctive smooth camera movements, complex crane and dolly sweeps, and tracking shots, which influenced the young Stanley Kubrick at the beginning of his filmmaking career.

There is also a sister campus in Vasant Vihar. It has a very long list of distinguished former pupils, including former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and is often described as the most famous private school in India, premier among the elite institutions of modern India.
Modern School, Barakhamba Road and Raghubir Singh Junior Modern School have approximately 2,800 students (these include international and exchange students and also the boarders) between the ages of 11 and 18 at the senior school and between 4 and 10 at the junior school.
The school is headed by a President and Board of Trustees, who appoint the Principal. The Board of Trustees is also responsible for the appointment of the Headmistress/Headmaster of the Junior School. The school consists of 15 houses, each headed by a housemaster, selected from the more senior members among the teaching staff, who number approximately 130.
The words of Rabindranath Tagore are embodied in the philosophy of the founding fathers of Modern School. They dreamed of an institution that could combine the concept of secularism, the motivation to excel, and an environment of diverse activities. In pre-independence India, this must have surely been only a dream. However, the fortitude and resourcefulness of the founders lead to that dream becoming reality in 1920, when Modern School was started in Daryaganj. Intellectual stimulation, athletic excellence, and cultural participation are all emphasized at Modern School. The credo of Modern School "Naimatma Balheenien Labhya" from Sanskrit literally means - "Perfection cannot be achieved by the weak". The question is not survival of the fittest, or survival at the cost of others. It is the path of confidence, self-respect, and humility. It is not just survival, but the constant effort of self-improvement towards a goal of perfection. The over 80-year-old history of the school is one of unequaled success and achievement in India. Modern School was started in 1920 in a building located in Daryaganj, New Delhi. It was a sprawling mansion that belonged to Sultan Singh. He donated it to the school to fulfill his son's dream of establishing a unique school, which would combine the traditions of Indian education with modern educational techniques. Sultan Singh was a prominent businessman in British India in the early 1880s. His son, Lala Raghubir Singh, founded the school to provide quality education, and to foster the overall growth of a child. Lala Raghubir Singh was the spirit and the soul of the school. The primary founder, he relentlessly worked for the improvement of the school and in this endeavor he teamed up with Sardar Sobha Singh to build a legacy that continues to this day. Sardar Sobha Singh was the co-founder of the school. One of the illustrious builders during the height of the Raj, he was involved in the construction of numerous famous buildings in Delhi like Connaught Place, National Museum, Modern School, South Block and India Gate, to name just a few. His own two sons, Bhagwant Singh and Khushwant Singh (the noted writer) were amongst the first students of Modern School. Lala Raghubir Singh's philosophy (The First Years) in starting Modern School was simple, to provide a school that would fulfill the needs of children.
The school is well known for its impressive sports background. It has an Olympic size swimming pool, 6 tennis courts, 2 basketball courts, 4 badminton courts, 2 cricket fields, 1 football fields, 2 squash courts, 1 hockey field and 6 table tennis tables.

835 Days and Counting...
Recent stock market weakness has stoked fears that we've hit a top in the S&P 500 and a "correction" is right around the corner. A "correction" is usually defined as a decline of at least 10% that was preceded by a rally of at least 10%. Since October 3rd, 2011 the S&P 500 has rallied 68.15% over 835 calendar days without a correction of at least 10%. The run up can be seen in the chart below.
A correction of some kind is eventually inevitable, but timing when that 10% drop comes is very difficult. There have been 4 rallies in the history of the S&P 500 that have had a longer streak than the current one, so this correction-free stretch is definitely not unprecedented. There have been two periods in the last quarter century that had a longer streak, including the period between October of 1990 and October of 1997. During that 7 year period, the streak without a correction got all the way to 2,553 days before finally losing steam. More recently we saw a streak of 1,673 days (twice as long as our current distance from a 10% drop) between March 2003 and October 2007. Over those periods, returns were 232% and 95% respectively; taking money off the table in mid-1993 or early-2005 would have been a serious drag on returns versus the market. It's worth pointing out that the only other 21st Century run as long as the current one without a streak was also an entire bull market cycle. If we were to see a streak as long as the early 2000s bull market, we would be 5 months into the first term of President Obama's successor. A run as long as the mid-90s bull streak would put us at October 14th, 2018...more than a decade removed from Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy. If returns were to hold out in the same pattern as the 90s streak, the S&P will be at an impressive 2,558. Of course, that outcome is not particularly likely. In order to put the current streak in context, the below chart shows the length of streaks without a 10% correction dating back to 1928.

International Classification of Diseases, which requires a determination on intentionality before any other coding decisions.
Some injury scientists, however, are increasingly dissatisfied with this terminology. Among other concerns, they point out that the focus on intentionality can divert attention to issues relating to individual moral and legal responsibility and away from the broad array of risk factors and interventions represented in the Haddon matrix, many of which can prevent both intentional and unintentional injuries. Intentionality is more sensibly understood as a continuum, ranging from inadvertence to conscious risk taking to purposeful harming, rather than as two categories; and assigning cases to one of the two categories for coding purposes often requires complex judgments based on inadequate information. The committee agrees that these characterizations cannot bear too much weight, and that coding decisions will be imperfect in many cases. Notwithstanding these shortcomings, however, the committee believes that whether an injury is "intentional" or not is reasonably ascertainable in many cases, and that these terms are useable—if oversimplifying—categories for aggregating and interpreting injury data. In the absence of any alternative conceptualization, this terminology will be retained. Among intentional injuries, greater refinement can be achieved by using the terms "assaultive injuries" (including intentional homicide if death occurs) and "self-inflicted injuries" (including suicides if death occurs). Although the category of unintentional injuries encompasses a wide variety of risk-creating behavior (ranging from inattention to gross recklessness), greater refinement cannot reasonably be achieved outside a courtroom.
In this report, the committee has decided to simplify its vocabulary by using two terms—prevention and treatment—to refer to the array of activities variously described as prevention, control, acute care, and rehabilitation. The term "prevention" is used to refer to efforts to reduce the risk or severity of injury. This can be accomplished by preventing injury-causing events ("pre-event" interventions) or altering the circumstances or impact of the injury-causing event ("event" interventions). The term ''treatment" is used to refer to post-event efforts to ameliorate the effects of the injury through acute care and rehabilitation (Table 1.1).
The committee can see no use for the term "control," borrowed from the vocabulary of infectious disease, which has been deployed in the injury field to refer mainly to the idea of ameliorating the consequences of injury-causing events. Prevention and treatment, as defined above, appear to express these ideas

UTSA College of Architecture launches career-prep series
(Jan. 30, 2013) -- In an effort to help prospective graduates fully prepare to enter an ever-changing and competitive job market, the UTSA College of Architecture (COA) has modified the traditional, one-day career fair model to present a new initiative, a Symposium on Professional Practice. The symposium will include a series of interactive panels where invited speakers from the professional community will deliver informational sessions, share industry insights and engage in open dialogue with students.
The series kicked off Monday, Jan. 28 with the first session, Getting Started: Diversity of Practices and Offices, at the UTSA Downtown Campus. The panel was moderated by San Antonio architect Richard Mogas and included Mary Ann Mitchell of O'Connell Robertson, Michael Rey of Overland Partners Architects and UTSA alumnus Derrik Godwin '08 of Michael Imbimbo Architects.
Before the recession, the COA offered traditional career fairs each spring as a way to allow prospective graduates to network with area employers. The new initiative is an attempt to reclaim the optimism of the career fairs in years past, while realistically enabling UTSA graduates to plan for their professional destinies in more strategic, informed ways.
A series of three panel sessions, paired with a one-day shadowing event, will be held over the course of four months during the spring 2013 semester. Each session will be composed of three panelists from San Antonio's architecture community and moderated by a recognized architectural practice leader who will pose ideas and field questions from the audience. On the shadow day, each architecture graduate student will be paired with a design professional to gain insight into the daily routine of office productivity, studio formations and workplace relationships. A variety of office environments, firm sizes and emphases of practice will be represented in both the panel sessions and the shadow day.
Examples of the important topics to be discussed in the sessions are portfolio creation, the process of pursuing jobs, how firms evaluate potential employees, interview strategies, how the workplace has changed in recent years and what recent graduates should know in order to succeed during their formative first years of practice. See the schedule below for complete details.
The Symposium on Professional Practice was born out of discussions by the COA dean's advisory council, which formed a subcommittee to fully realize the idea. Led by Greg Papay, partner at Lake/Flato Architects and chair of the dean's advisory council, and faculty member Rick Lewis, the subcommittee asked local design professionals and firms for their support in the endeavor, many of whom offering to volunteer as panelists or shadow hosts. In addition to reinforcing the launch of graduates into the profession, all involved hope to foster a more productive, innovative and enduring building industry workforce in years to come.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Curt email@example.com Lillian Mitchell, the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) club sponsor at Babb Middle School, said she was pleased when she found out the club won FCCLA's national Families Acting for Community Traffic Safety award this year. Three members of the club did a PowerPoint presentation on teen driving at a Parent-Teacher Association meeting last fall. The presentation did not start out as something the club was going to enter into a contest, Mitchell said. That happened only after the club decided to give the traffic-safety category a try, for the first time, this year. Club members recently found out FCCLA judges had deemed that presentation to be worthy of a $1,000 award. The group will receive the award at the FCCLA national convention, July 12-16, in Nashville, Tenn. "We put a lot of effort into our previous projects, and this was one that was very simple to do, but we decided to enter it anyway," Mitchell said. "Honestly, we really forgot about it after we entered it, and then we got a letter one day saying we had won an award. It was quite a pleasant surprise." The project was put together by eighth-graders Ericka Smith and Y'tishai Gipson and seventh-grader Nga Huynh. Sixth-grader Jerquisha Gilbert is working on a three-dimensional presentation that the group will put on display at the national convention. Huynh was unavailable for comment during a recent interview with the group at Babb Middle School. During the presentation, which lasted approximately 10 minutes, the youths outlined statistics and safe-driving tips they gleaned from national and state highway safety web sites. Gipson, 15, who is preparing to get her learner's permit, said she, Smith and Huynh decided to do the project as a way to raise awareness of the dangers facing their classmates as they moved toward an age where they, themselves, would become teen drivers. "It was a big problem in society, so we wanted to bring it to society, to let them know what's going on," Gipson said. "I learned most teens drive without using their seat belts. I will be getting my learner's permit by the end of the year, and I have decided I won't be driving without a valid, licensed driver in the car with me. I will also be wearing my seat belt." As Gilbert begins brainstorming ideas for the three-dimensional presentation that will be put on display at the national convention, she said she has certain criteria that she wants to make sure she meets. "I want to put important facts on their about how important it is to be a safe driver," Gilbert said. "I want them [viewers of the display] to be ready to learn something valuable when they come up to this display. After they leave, they will have learned something that could save their life." Smith said some of the important things teens need to remember when driving are to check their mirrors before making lane changes, pay attention to the road and other drivers, and avoid distractions like cell phones. Smith said she was as surprised as Mitchell when she found out her group would receive a national award, but winning titles was not the reason behind the teen driving project. "I was shocked because I didn't know you could win an award based off a presentation like this," Smith said. "We didn't care about the award, actually. We just wanted to save lives by practicing safety."

A mild climate is characteristic of the province's mountainous areas, fully enjoyed in Cerro Punta, Volcán, and Boquete, where temperatures reach 15° C (59° F). In these highlands, rainfall is abundant, with nearly nine months of precipitation a year. The diverse climate and fertile soil make Chiriquíone of the most productive provinces of the country. Among the signature crops in the region are Boquete's coffee and oranges and Cerro Punta's strawberries.
Veraguas Province
Veraguas has a tropical humid climate in the lowlands and a very humid temperate climate in the higher elevations along the mountain range. The lowest average temperatures in the province are 22º C (71.6º F) in the highlands, and the highest average temperatures are 27° C (80.6° F) in the lowlands.
Los Santos Province
The province of Los Santos has a tropical savanna climate that produces dry premontane forest, premontane rain forest, and tropical dry forest along the coasts. However, completely different microclimates can be found in the highlands, such as the hills Cerro Canajagua and Cerro Hoya.
Herrera Province
Herrera's climate is varied, spanning wet to temperate zones. A more temperate climate dominates the mountainous areas of Cerro de Tijera, Cerro de Peñón, Cerro Largo, Cerro del Ñuco, and La Loma. The plains of Santa María and Ocú, as well as coastal areas such as the city of Chitré, present a humid climate.
Coclé Province
A large part of the topography of Cocléis lowlands, which have an arid climate. In the highlands, where the central mountain range of the isthmus runs across the north of the province, both humid and arid climates can be found. Wide rivers cross these territories, whose sources can be traced to the mountains and southern flank of the Valle de Antón.
Colón Province
A tropical humid climate, and the corresponding natural diversity of flora and fauna, identifies this region, which is caused by the Atlantic Ocean, the entrance to the Panama Canal. A Duty-Free Zone and cruise port are part of the attractions to enjoy on a summer afternoon stroll through the area's colonial landscape.
Darién Province
The Darién is a very humid and rainy region. This factor, along with a low human population, is critical for conservation of fauna and flora in one of the most ecologically diverse regions of our planet.
Its jungle, declared a Biosphere Reserve and National Park, is also known as the Darién Gap or the Panamanian Amazon. This is the largest park in Panama and the second biggest in Central America. It additionally provides a biological corridor where tropical and nearctic species can intermingle.
Bocas del Toro Province
In the hot, tropical climate of Bocas del Toro, the predominant temperature is from 30° C to 35° C, with a minimum of 18° C. Nearly the entire province has this tropical, very humid climate, though in the highlands the climate is temperate.

Chinese WFO?
It seams the Italian, or European style oven is the one we talk about mostly here at Forno Bravo. If memory serves (always questionable) the retained heat oven is a kitchen appliance that has roots in many different cultures. Do any of ya'll have any experience with Chinese retained heat oven?
Re: Chinese WFO?
No experience here (big shock, I know...)
Could you post a pic of what you have in mind? The only Chinese 'ovens' I know of are actually stoves. Rice lacks sufficient gluten and bread is a European introduction so cooking was mostly by boiling/frying. I'd be interested in seeing anything related to true baking out of historic China.*
I had a link a while back on the history of Chinese cooking - I can probably hunt it down if you like.
As far as Eastern cultures, India is probably the furthest east that used ovens historically. Tandoori type ovens were more common as I recall but there may have been more European like ovens as well.
*They did have kilns as memory serves but the draft kilns I recalll them using would incinerate bread or anything else within seconds.
Re: Chinese WFO?
I don't have any idea's in mind... I was just curious... the Chinese were leaders in so many things technically through time, it was just a question that hit my mind, and I didn't find any answers with a quick Google search...
I have found the 'group mind' of the Forno Bravo team pretty well versed in many different subjects, where better to take an obscure (to my experience) question?
Re: Chinese WFO?

My sister had one of these:
I'm pretty sure it was made in China....
I've seen some Italian style casted WFO's on some of the china import sites, but not seen a china oven. I'll ask some of my team over in Shenzhen if they can share some history with us.
BTW - thought I'd share a pic of the Papa John's in Shenzhen below. They deliver, but I think their model is a bit different than the USA model.
Re: Chinese WFO?
And if you put this in a WFO, it would probably burn....
Thanks Christo, I found humor in this.... And please do report if you learn anything from your contacts...
Re: Chinese WFO?
I love the delivery bikes. That's great. One of my fondest memories of Italy is watching the pizza delivery scooters ride the wrong way of the street -- up a sidewalk -- to make a delivery.
Thanks for that!
Re: Chinese WFO?
Excuse me, I have to go hurt Christo for making fun of Easy Bake....
Re: Chinese WFO?
OMG! Easy Bake Oven... You can top dollar for that one in Funny Town.
Re: Chinese WFO?
They do a great roasted duck in a wfo, wouldn't mind trying out a variation of the recipe someday myself.
The Truth About Peking Duck and Other Beijing Reflections: A Guest Post - Freakonomics Blog - NYTimes.com
Seems they use apple wood as well as peach. Of course this day and age many places are moving towards electric ovens and injecting the "wood smoke taste". They claim it tastes better and gets crispier but I highly doubt it.
Its a pity that much of China currently subscribes to this quantity over quality approach... maybe a time will come when they reach back to their roots and realize that new and shiny doesn't always equal better.

There's a sitting duck for terrorists right off the coast of Long Island. And al Qaeda knows about this. So does the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) which, for security reasons primarily, wants this potential target, the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, eliminated and its work done elsewhere.
But there's resistance. Congressman Tim Bishop is concerned about the loss of 200 federal jobs in his district. And livestock interests in Kansas are worried that if the center's work is shifted there, an outbreak could impact on livestock.
Aafia Siddiqui was convicted by a jury in Manhattan in February of attempted murder.
Dubbed "Lady Al Qaeda," she holds a doctorate in neuroscience from MIT. Among the documents in her possession when she was captured in Afghanistan in 2008 were hand-written notes about a "mass-casualty attack" and a list of targets: Wall Street, Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building—and the Plum Island Animal Disease Center.
At the center, on 840-acre Plum Island a mile-and-a-half off Orient Point, research is conducted into virulent animal diseases—including foot-and-mouth disease. The diseases include some that impact on both animals and people.
Pakistan-born Dr. Siddiqui was, when captured, the FBI's most wanted woman in the world. Found with her, too, were jars of poisonous chemicals and details on chemical, biological and radiological weapons. A relative of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, she was convicted of shooting at Americans who had come to question her.
It was not the first time the Plum Island center appeared as an al Qaeda target. In 2002, U.S. Army commandos and CIA agents found a dossier on it in a raid on the Afghanistan residence of Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood, a nuclear physicist from Pakistan and an associate of Osama bin Laden. .
The next year, 2003, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report about terrorism and Plum Island. GAO declared there is a substantial risk that "an adversary might try to steal pathogens" from the center and use them against people or animals in the U.S. It noted that a camel pox strain researched at the center could be converted into "an agent as threatening as smallpox," and the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus studied there could be "developed into a human biowarfare agent."
It emphasized that the center, which the DHS took over from the Department of Agriculture in 2003, "was not designed to be a highly secure facility."
And it can never be. Plum Island sits exposed amid busy marine traffic lanes. The main laboratory is the big building that ferries taking passengers between Orient Point and New London, Connecticut pass directly in front of. It is not giving away any secret—this has been repeatedly noted—that from a boat terrorists armed with shoulder-fired rockets would have a clear shot. A plane could dive into the laboratory.
Facing this reality of security, DHS thereafter announced it would build a new National Bio and Agro Defense Facility (NBAF) with, later, Manhattan, Kansas picked as the site, and the Plum Island center would be closed, its work transferred there.
DHS has been proceeding with the closure—but there's no complete certainty it will happen. Mr. Bishop recently declared that "rather than pour hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars down a sinkhole in Kansas and open the Pandora's box of decommissioning Plum Island, we should abandon NBAF and make use of existing facilities that continue to serve this nation well."
Buoying the livestock trade groups opposing the NBAF in Kansas, GAO last year estimated $1 billion in livestock losses from an outbreak at it.
But what of an al Qaeda attack on Plum Island? It sits halfway between Boston and New York City. Work on highly toxic pathogens should only be done at a heavily guarded facility inland, perhaps constructed underground—not off a major population center of the U.S.

There has been a flood of reaction against comments made this week by President Jacob Zuma's foreign policy advisor, Lindiwe Zulu, supporting the removal of targeted sanctions that were placed on members of the Mugabe regime by Western nations and the European Union.
Zulu, who is also part of the facilitation team working with Zimbabwe's coalition partners, on Thursday said the restrictive measures are not working. "It's not just Zimbabwe that's saying the sanctions are not working. The entire continent is saying that," she is quoted as saying.
An immediate flurry of reaction appeared online, with many suggesting that Zulu has forgotten that the Mugabe regime was put under these restrictions after having committed serious human rights violations. Others reminded Zulu that there are no sanctions on Zimbabwe, but a travel ban and an asset freeze on the individuals responsible for the abuses.
"You should rather act against the offending responsible party and its power base to bring about a democracy, another word which Africa, including South Africa, does not comprehend. They pay lip service too but that's all," said a reader on the Reuters website.
Another said: "It is a deliberate lie by the Zimbabwean and South African governments that sanctions target the people of Zimbabwe. The western countries of the EU and USA are pouring in millions of rands daily in donations of food and medicine to the people of Zimbabwe whilst the AU countries contribute nothing."
Zulu and her mediation team flew into Harare this week for more sessions with the negotiators representing the main political parties. Their task has been to agree on a roadmap to elections, under SADC guidelines and according to the GPA. The process has been going on for three years, with ZANU PF refusing to implement key reforms.
Political commentator Lameck Mahachi blasted Zulu, saying she speaks as though she is ignorant of the fact that the measures do not affect ordinary Zimbabweans whose rights are being abused by those on the sanctions list.
"She knows the restrictions are meant to curb these despots from travelling around the world shopping, while Zimbabweans are suffering. This only shows that they don't care about the ordinary people. They are in cahoots with the regime," Mahachi said.
Zulu and other supporters of the removal of sanctions claim the move would encourage Mugabe to move forward with key reforms agreed to under the SADC facilitation. But Mahachi ridiculed the suggestion, saying Mugabe and ZANU PF have done nothing to encourage the lifting of the restrictions and would never change their behavior.
"Remove Mugabe and he goes with his problems. Look at the sweeping changes taking place in Malawi." one online response suggested.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Didn't you already post this on Thursday?
In response, I had already posted on Friday a set of
follow-up questions that I needed answered. Let's
1. DNS. How will editing resolv.conf solve my DNS
issue? My understanding is that that file is the
configuration file for the named daemon. I'm not
running named. Shouldn't need to. A previous install
(Xandros/Debian) ran fine without it. It shouldn't be
required, since my registrar handles incoming DNS, and
outgoing lookups (websurfing) should be handled by my
ISP's nameservers. What I need to know is how to tell
my server where those nameservers are.
2. FTP. Not running an anoymous server. Just need to
upload files for my webpages. Is there a more secure
method I can use (please specify how, don't just say
"yes, there is")?
3. Daemons. Where can I find a comprehensive guide
(including non-free books) to what service does what?
I don't mean a one-line description, I mean someplace
that will really explain it to me in depth. Or, can
someone at least identify the generic ones ESSENTIAL
to my system? Remember, I use ssh to connect and am
running http server. That's all my box does. What
daemons are necessary besides cron, sshd and httpd?
Thank you in advance.

After Oso, fears of local landslides arise
April 8, 2014
After the devastating Oso mudslide March 22, long-held fears arose in Issaquah.
"It's scary," resident Philip Cherian said about the large hill steeply rising over Southeast Black Nugget Road, blocked from the roadway, Home Depot and Fred Meyer by a wall. "We live in the area and drive by there, and you can see water seeping through."
Rapid earth movement at that site, and at others around town, has long been a concern for the city. Public Works Engineering Director Sheldon Lynne said the city has remained vigilant over the Southeast Black Nugget Road site, performing studies on the private property.
Annexation at what cost to Issaquah residents?
January 14, 2014
Annexing the Klahanie area would lead to many costs and benefits for Issaquah residents according to the city-commissioned Nesbitt Planning and Management study, but questions remain.
City workers will flush water mains overnight through Dec. 6
November 18, 2013
NEW — 6 a.m. Nov. 18, 2013
Issaquah's Public Works Operations will be flushing a portion of the city's water mains through Dec. 6.
The southeast section of Issaquah — east of Front Street South and south of East Sunset Way, as well as the Sycamore neighborhood — will be flushed during this maintenance project.
The work will take place from 9 p.m. to 7:30 a.m., Monday through Thursday, during those three weeks.
Customers typically do not experience a change in their water service during this annual maintenance. If you do experience changes, or have any questions or concerns, call Greg Keith at 837-3470. Before or after working hours, call the Issaquah Police Department at 837-3200.
Issaquah Citizen Corps Council to teach chainsaw safety
January 29, 2013
Learn chainsaw safety basics as the Issaquah Citizen Corps Council hosts a class soon.
The training focuses on chainsaw handling, operation and maintenance. The free class is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb. 2 at the city Public Works Operations Building, 670 First Ave. N.E. The class size is limited, so interested residents should register at the Issaquah Citizen Corps Council website, www.issaquahcitizencorps.com.
Crews prepare for wintry conditions as mercury drops
January 10, 2013
NEW — 6 p.m. Jan. 10, 2013
Issaquah, King County and state road crews prepared for snow Thursday, as forecasters urged caution on roads, and rain threatened to turn to snow and create icy morning commutes Friday.
The city placed public works crews on standby Thursday to prepare for possible road hazards related to the winter weather.
King County prepared for a beefed-up response to ice and snow. Overnight, ice buildup on already-damp roadways is a concern for road crews.
The county put extra crews on the road for response, and as many as 12 trucks could remain on duty throughout the night. In addition to anti-icing operations, crews sand roads and plow slush or snow as necessary.
Snow causes few disruptions for Issaquah residents
December 25, 2012
Snow crept into forecasts in recent days, but aside from a dusting in higher-elevation neighborhoods and a delay for Issaquah School District students, winter weather did not cause significant disruptions in the area.
In response to slushy conditions on roads and some snowfall overnight, school district administrators delayed the start of school two hours Dec. 18. The day before, as forecasters issued a winter weather advisory for Western Washington, Issaquah and King County road crews prepared for snow.
Issaquah, King County road crews start snow watch as mercury dips
December 17, 2012
NEW — 10 p.m. Dec. 17, 2012
Issaquah and King County road crews prepared for the possibility of snow late Monday, as forecasters issued a winter weather advisory for Western Washington.
Meteorologists said conditions exist for lowland snow showers overnight as temperatures drop into the low 30s and snow levels sink to only a few hundred feet above sea level. The chance of snow is expected to decrease Tuesday morning as temperatures increase into the upper 30s and low 40s.
National Weather Service meteorologists in Seattle said snow showers could occur overnight in Issaquah. Snow accumulation of less than 1 inch is possible. The chance of precipitation is 70 percent.
Snow is possible before 10 a.m. Tuesday, followed by a chance of rain between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The snow level is expected to reach 400 feet. Snow accumulation of less than a half inch is possible. The chance of precipitation is 60 percent.
Crews gird for snow removal before flakes start to fall
November 27, 2012
The mercury dips a little lower as November turns to December, winter starts in mere weeks, and the agencies responsible for ensuring roads remain passable in ice and snow readied removal plans for the months ahead.
Issaquah, King County and the state prepare detailed ice and snow response plans long before the flakes start to fall. The agencies face challenges in Issaquah and the surrounding area due to steep terrain, narrow roads and limited funding.
Soggy conditions could cause street flooding
November 20, 2012
Expect a soggy Thanksgiving and a side of rain on the day before the holiday, as a series of systems batters Western Washington.
The weather comes as rain-soaked Pacific systems barrel across the region in quick succession. National Weather Service meteorologists in Seattle said strong fronts should affect Western Washington, and increase the risk of flooding on streets.
Ongoing rainfall to dampen holiday, but worst is done
November 20, 2012
NEW — 6 a.m. Nov. 20, 2012
Expect continued rainfall through Thanksgiving, but not like the blustery, soggy conditions Monday.
Severe rainfall from a series of storms derailed the afternoon commute and raised flooding concerns on local waterways as more than 2 inches of rain soaked the Issaquah area. The storm caused power outages in Issaquah and Sammamish, and prompted Sammamish city officials to close Beaver Lake Preserve and Pine Lake Park due to high wind.
King County road crews spent Monday afternoon removing leaves and debris from storm drains and responding to problems. The state Department of Transportation warned motorists to prepare for waterlogged Thanksgiving travel and snow on the mountain passes.
National Weather Service meteorologists in Seattle forecast rain for Issaquah into next week, although not as bad as the Monday deluge.
The precipitation raises the prospect of localized flooding on city streets.
