About Pride
On June 27, 1969 The Stonewall Riots in New York City marked the beginning of the LGBTQ rights movement in the United States. Harassed by local police simply for congregating, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer patrons decided to take a stand and fight back against the brutal intimidation they regularly faced. By refusing to resign themselves to the shadows of that bar or American society, the beginning of a social movement dedicated to the eradication of discrimination against all LGBTQ Americans was born. The events of those nights inspired a social awakening for many in the LGBTQ community and had a profound effect on the nation's perception of persons who identify as L, G, B, T or Q as a community in and of itself. The following year on June 28th, the first gay pride marches took place in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles to commemorate the anniversary of this brave stand against injustice.
As a result, more than 45 years later, pride events are held nationwide in cities big and small – from San Francisco to Omaha and New York to Sioux Falls, members of the LGBTQ community and their allies gather at festivals and parades to celebrate the progress we've made, but also to recognize the distance we still have to go to achieve full equality. In 2016, HRC maintained its presence at pride events nationwide and attended over 200 unique events. In 2018 we will continue this outreach and connect with members of the community to discuss the work that HRC is doing every day to help move forward the ideals of what the Stonewall riots sparked that night in 1969.

A trio of hawkish regional Federal Reserve officials are calling for the central bank to stop buying mortgage-backed bonds, citing recent improvement in the housing market.
Richard Fisher, president of the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank, was the latest to point to the recent pick up in home values and housing construction as signs the central bank's purchases of mortgage-backed securities are no longer needed.
Continue Reading Below
"We can rightly declare victory on the housing front and (reduce) our purchases, with the aim of eliminating them entirely as the year wears on," Fisher told the National Association for Business Economics on Thursday in Houston. "I believe the efficacy of continued purchases is questionable."
His thinking leaves him in a minority at the central bank. Regional Fed presidents rotate into voting seats on the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee while board members, who tend to be more sanguine about the effectiveness of the Fed's bond-buying stimulus, are permanent voters.
That means Chairman Ben Bernanke generally leads the way, and he still appears reluctant to take the foot off the accelerator with the recovery still fragile and inflation now heading lower.
Speaking in Milan, Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser said the central bank should dial back its asset buying starting next month given an improving economic backdrop.
"Things are better enough for the Fed to slow the pace of purchasing, if we are really serious about the fact that (the purchase program) is scalable," he said.
In a speech late on Wednesday, Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker offered much the same message.
"When you look at housing market conditions, I think you could make the case that we should be getting out of mortgage-backed securities," Lacker told reporters after a speech.
Amid the barrage of hawkishness, the Boston Fed's dovish president, Eric Rosengren, welcomed the brighter signals from housing but said the central bank's aggressive monetary support remains appropriate.
Fed Board Governor Sarah Bloom Raskin was more non-committal, saying it was premature to judge the impact of the Fed's latest actions to spur growth.
"The U.S. economy has continued to recover from the effects of the financial crisis and deep recession, though at a pace that has been disappointingly slow," she told the National Economists Club.
"The recovery does appear to have picked up steam in some sectors, most notably in housing. ... However, federal fiscal policy remains an important source of restraint," she said.
Washington raised taxes in January and initiated sweeping budget cuts in March to bolster its finances but the fiscal tightening is expected to crimp growth.
Lacker and Fisher suggested the recent decline in inflation, which is now running at around half the Fed's 2 percent target, is benign and likely transitory.
The Fed is currently buying $85 billion per month in mortgage and Treasury securities to stimulate investment.
Inflation hawks at the Fed worry the sharp expansion in bank reserves could lead to future inflation, even if there are no signs at all of any imminent price pressures. U.S. consumer prices dropped 0.4 percent on falling gasoline prices, the biggest drop since late 2008 during the disruptive aftermath of the Lehman Brothers collapse.
"These numbers are likely to give pause to both hawks and doves on the Fed, and keep the current (stimulus) pace in place until signs of inflation returning to the Fed's long-run 2 percent target emerge," said Michael Hanson, senior U.S. economist at Bank of America-Merrill Lynch.
U.S. economic growth rebounded to an annual rate of 2.5 percent in the first quarter following a dismal end to 2012. Unemployment has come down to 7.5 percent from its crisis peak of 10 percent, but remains very high by historical standards.

In the face of dismal prices for the state's non-organic dairy farmers, New Haven's state Rep. Christopher Bray says the 'Farm to Plate' legislation passed this past legislative session may be the most important bill approved in the past decade that has to do with food or agriculture. Why is Bray so optimistic about legislation the average Vermonter has never heard of? Because the initiative encourages Vermont's local food production to grow from what is now just 3 percent of the food consumed in the state to 20 percent in the next decade.

Charges Dropped On Both Students Charged In Connection With Classmate's Suicide
from the this-is-what-happens-when-actions-are-dictated-by-emotions dept
The two students arrested and charged with "felony aggravated stalking" by Polk County (FL) sheriff Grady Judd for allegedly participating in the bullying of a classmate who committed suicide have now had all charges brought against them dropped.
All charges against one of the girls accused of cyberbullying Rebecca Sedwick, the Lakeland girl who committed suicide, will be dropped, according to attorney Jose Baez.The state Attorney General hasn't given an official comment on the status of these cases as they're still pending, but Grady Judd seemed to confirm this was the case in a statement he made to the media.
Baez represents the 12-year-old girl.
"They dropped these charges because they simply didn't have the evidence, and they felt it was the right thing to do," said Baez.
The lawyer for a 14-year-old girl charged in the case says it is her understanding that charges against her client will also be dropped.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd held a news conference to discuss the latest developments and said the outcome of the case was a success.Both girls are now receiving services and counseling. The 12-year-old's lawyer bashed the Sheriff for his actions, saying Judd "wanted to be a TV star" and was using his position as a "pulpit."
"Our goal was to create an intervention," he said. "Our goal was to bring this conduct to the proper authorities..."
Baez's statements aren't exaggerations. Judd has leveraged his position as Polk County Sheriff into a countrywide child porn sting operation.
As sheriff, backed by a like-minded State Attorney's Office, Judd has made the signature of his administration child porn stings, Craigslist prostitution stings and so-called cyberstings modeled after NBC's To Catch a Predator. His undercover detectives pose online as teen girls to let men talk dirty to them. He arrested a swim coach from North Carolina. He arrested a man from Orlando who earlier had been called a hero for rescuing people from a plane crash. He arrested in Maryland a 57-year-old deputy press secretary for the Department of Homeland Security.Apparently, no matter where you live and what local laws you haven't violated, if moved to do so, Sheriff Judd will send his officers after you and haul you back to Florida to be judged by his rules.
Almost all these men live somewhere else. Judd brings them to Polk County.
A man in Colorado a couple of months ago published a book called The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure, and he didn't get arrested for it, and this made Grady Judd mad.While some may argue that all's fair in the war on child porn, there are indications that Judd's idea of what is or isn't criminally obscene may be very skewed.
So the sheriff of Polk County, whose job is to protect and serve the roughly 500,000 people who live in the mostly agricultural area between Tampa and Orlando, had one of his undercover detectives contact Phillip Greaves of Pueblo, Colo., and ask to buy his book. Greaves sent a signed copy back to Polk, where Judd got a search warrant, and then sent two of his men 1,856 miles to arrest him the week before Christmas.
In 2007, commenting on a case in which he had arrested a man who was running a porn site out of his home in Polk, he said: "No normal person could even imagine what's depicted in those videos and in those photographs." A sexual behavior expert from the University of Central Florida said in a motion in the man's court file that it was run-of-the-mill erotica available anywhere on the Internet to anyone.Judd's subjective morality may be what pushed him to pursue felony charges against two students, especially when he himself made statements that suggested their actions may have only played a small part (if any) in Rebecca Sedwick's decision to kill herself.
According to Judd, bullying "only contributed" to the death of Rebecca Sedwick, who died last month after jumping from a tower at an abandoned cement plant near her home…While this look into Sedwick's home life may have contributed to the charges being dropped, it apparently didn't factor into Judd's decision to charge the two youths. If nothing else, his surprising move to arrest the two students garnered him the attention he seems to thrive on.
Judd told CBS News' Crimesider that he charged the girls with stalking because what they did to Sedwick went beyond bullying into harassment and intimidation, but he also said that Sedwick had problems at home that may have contributed to her state of mind on the day of her death. According to Judd, Sedwick slept not on a bed at home, but in a recliner. Her sister, said Judd, slept on the couch, and the girls' clothes were kept in "grocery sacks" in the living room.
Sedwick's mother, Tricia Norman, has been in trouble with the law since at least 1995, when she was charged with multiple counts of writing bad checks, according to Polk County records. In 2005, she was again charged with writing bad checks, as well as fraud and probation violation. The records reveal that Norman apparently has several aliases, including Tricia Craig, Tricia Howard and Tricia Jones.
Judd says he has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from his community - and people as far away as Hawaii and Alaska - for his decision to charge the girls for their alleged bullying.Then there's this quote from a local police chief and former co-worker of Judd's.
"I kid him: 'The most dangerous place in Polk County is to get between you and a TV camera.' He just laughs. But he's worked the media very well. It's going to keep him elected. "While many people would like to see bullies punished for their actions, letting a publicity-hungry Sheriff who has a track record of moralizing on a national scale from his Florida office use an emotionally-charged issue as a personal chew toy is a terrible idea.

A Half A Cow Classic Reissue.
Originally released in July 2000 on cd in a HAC-designed all cardboard gatefold sleeve with inserts and a 44-page booklet.
February 2010: This album is back in stock and now packed in an ECO-BOX (better for the environment than a regular jewel case) with a reduced 40-page booklet (we shuffled the pages around so it's all still there except the 'Gear n Stuff' page and the Julie 7" drawing). Plus the same timeless music!
The Complete Studio Recordings of Australia's Seminal Classic Punk/Pop band from the mid-Eighties. Eighteen tracks on CD for the first time including the classic Julie Is A Junkie/Johnny & Dee Dee 7inch, the Long Live The New Flesh mini-LP (with Walking and Over Now) single, two hard-to-find demos and live recordings of a further nine originals (from Girls On The Beach dbl 12) plus 40 page colour booklet in ECO-BOX cd case.
With a mix of Sixties-via-Ramones pop smarts, hard rock crunch and punkish energy, their slim output has produced a world-wide cult awareness. If they're not quite as well known as
other Sydney groups of the period like the Hard-Ons or Beasts Of Bourbon, it's because a tragic, on-tour road accident claimed the life of singer/songwriter and guitarist James Darroch.
One of the great what ifs? in the history of rock and roll, well never know how far and high the Eastern Dark would have reached in both musical accomplishments and fame and fortune. This compilation is a lasting testament to how incredible the Eastern Dark was in their short time on this Earth. Now Let Us Press Play. - Mojo
Finally, it's here and yes, it's been worth the wait.
So why the fuss about a Sydney group that was only around for less than two years in the first half of the 80s, played no shows outside of Australia and only released one single when it was still a going concern? Part of it is to do with the sense of loss when a road accident robbed us of guitarist-singer-songwriter James Darroch. More than enough has been written over the years about that event and the unrealised potential the Dark possessed, so I'm going to presume you know all about that (and if you don't, you can read the impressive 44-page booklet that comes with the disc). For the benefit of the initiates, let's focus on the music.
The first thing that must be said is that it rocks. Hard, especially the studio cuts. And it rocks with all the abandon and raw passion of youth in a way that wipes the floor with most anything else you could care to name. Liberally taking from venerable precursors like the Ramones and the NY Dolls (and some more surprising antecedents like the Dictators), the Eastern Dark were maybe the best blending of pop's harmonies with (good) punk's boundless energies that many of us saw in many a long time. The John Encarnacao liner notes (almost worth the price of admission themselves) draw a parallel with Husker Du - and there's no argument from this quarter. Think "Candy Apple Grey", rather than their hardcore efforts, and multiply it by a factor of two or three, to get a handle on the Dark's best moments. But as Encarnacao points out, there was a blacker side to the Dark, too. Put on "Mr Clean" (a stupendous piece of guitar wash) or "Stay Alone" and you'll understand.
This was a line-up that gravitated towards each other rather by virtue of being in the same place (the incestuous Sydney scene) at the same time. Geoff Milne's powerhouse drumming, Bill Gibson's fulsome and supple bass playing and on-the-money harmonising, plus (ex-Celibate Rifles bassist) James Darroch's economical guitar playing and singing, were rock solid ingredients, but they had great songs and a no bullshit approach as well. The old cliché about the whole being the sum of its parts rings true.
Listening years later (and viewed against the template of the liner notes, which fill in a few gaps) it's clear that, for James, the songs were also intensely personal. Most good music is, and if you can't feel it from hearing this you need new ears.
There's the Rob Younger-produced single, "Johnny & Dee Dee" b/w "Julie is a Junkie". No mere Ramones homage (although its nods to the Bruddas and James Darroch personal favorites are overt), it sounded awesome at the time and, to these ears at least, is even better now with some re-mastering tweaks and the passage of time. There's everything from the (posthumous) "Long Live the New Flesh" mini-album (with the slightly more sparse version of "Mr Clean", which appeared on Steven Danno's hard-to-find Sydney compilation, "Swinging From the Trees", winning a place ahead of the original.) Try and resist the sheer power of "Walking" or the shitstorm rhythms of "No Pictures" and the singalong harmonies of "I Don't Need the Reasons".
Wrapping it up is most of the live album, "Girls on the Beach with Cars". Some take issue with the cover songs being omitted (and a couple were pretty good, like "I Wanna Destroy You") but hearing originals like "The President is Dead" and "Whore" (a stop-start part-spoken word rave that makes perfect sense) in cleaned-up form blows those quibbles out the door.
As someone who caught them live too few times, I can say the Dark had a live presence and sense of humour that set them apart from many (most?) contemporaries. The Sydney scene was flowering and mutating into a slew of subsets, many of them incarnations of what had happened, or was happening, overseas. It was a great time and we were spoilt. It's great being spoilt again. This release lets the rest of the world catch up. It's essential. Recommended without reservations. - The Barman I-94 Bar

80-megawatt wind farm proposed for Beaufort County
A public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Nov. 17 to focus on a wind energy farm proposed for eastern Beaufort County. The N.C. Utilities Commission will conduct the proceedings in the District Courtroom of the Beaufort County Courthouse.
Pantego Wind Energy LLC, a subsidiary of Chicago-based Invenergy, proposes to erect 49 turbines, each 492 feet tall, on about 11,000 acres near Terra Ceia and Pantego. The proposal says the 80-megawatt installation could generate enough electricity to power 15,000 homes.
The facility, if constructed, would be connected to a Dominion Power substation near Pantego. Electricity would be transmitted along lines operated by PJM Interconnection, a regional transmission organization that coordinates transmission through much of the Mid-Atlantic region and extending to Ohio, Indiana and North Carolina.
Written statements on the project may be filed with the Chief Clerk, N.C. Utilities Commission, 4325 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-4325.

Waste Management in Dubai
UNESCO Qatar
November 17, 2016
Dubai is one of the Emirates that comprise the United Arab Emirates. It has witnessed significant economic growth in the last twenty years primarily due to its development as a business centre in the Middle East region. Government policies aimed at development of a diversified economy have transformed Dubai city into a fast growing urban region in the Middle East with a large multinational population. Also, intelligent and planned destination marketing efforts have resulted in the city supporting a fairly large transient and tourist population. These factors have resulted in the typical waste management problems associated with growth namely rising quantities of wastes generated and also the need for an ever increasing level and quality of service. Waste management in the emirate has thus evolved to overcome these challenges through a planned approach with a focus environmental sustainability.

Failure to read these policies, terms, and conditions does not exclude students from the requirements and regulations stated herein.
These policies are implemented in accordance with the United States Department of Education's federal guidelines governing Title IV aid, 34 CFR 668.21 and 668.22, as well as state and institutional policies.
All Title IV aid recipients are subject to these refund/repayment policies. All other aid recipients are subject to the policies of the appropriate governing agency. Financial aid recipients are required to notify the Financial Aid Office (FAO) of changes in enrollment due to cancelled classes, official withdrawals, and/or ceased attendance.
Students are awarded Title IV assistance under the assumption that the student will attend the entire period for which assistance is awarded. If a student withdraws officially, unofficially (ceases attendance in all registered courses for a period of enrollment without completing the official withdrawal process), or never attends, they may no longer be eligible for the amount of aid originally awarded or disbursed.
Unofficial Withdrawals: Unofficial withdrawal occurs when a student ceases attendance in all registered classes for a specified term and who does not complete the official withdrawal procedures as defined in the Walters State Community College Catalog/Student Handbook under "Admissions and Records", subtitle "Withdrawals and Honorable Dismissals". The withdrawal date determined for unofficial withdrawals is the last date of attendance as reported by instructors electronically.
Return of Funds Order: Funds are refunded in the following order: (1) Federal Pell Grant (2) Federal SEOG (3) TSAA (4) Scholarships and other sources. All financial aid funds for which a student received assistance will be refunded/repaid in full before any monies will be refunded to the student.
Refunds on all institutional charges will be calculated by the Cashier's Office in accordance with Walters State Institutional Refund Policy as stated in the WSCC Catalog/Student Handbook under "Cost" and applied directly to the student account. Also refer to the Timetable of Classes - "Fee/Refund Information" section
Title IV aid will be adjusted for cancelled classes or classes not attended. 100% of funds received for a cancelled class or a class never attended must be repaid to the fund(s) from which it came. For example: A Federal Pell Grant recipient enrolls in 12 credit hours and receives a $2000 award. Then a 3-hour class is cancelled inadvertently dropping the student to 9 credit hours. This automatically reduces the initial award of $2000 to $1500. The Federal Pell Grant program must be fully refunded/repaid the $500 difference between the two awards.
Note: A student may replace cancelled classes by adding other classes during the registration period as defined in the Timetable of Classes for a specified term.
Recipients who officially or unofficially withdraw prior to the 60% point of a payment period or period of enrollment are subject to the Return of Title IV calculation. Factors considered in this calculation include: the amount of Title IV assistance received or eligible to receive, institutional charges, number of days in the payment period and the withdrawal date. This calculation is completed using a federally mandated formula provided by the Department of Education which is used to determine any unearned portion of Title IV assistance.
The amount of unearned assistance is determined by subtracting the percentage earned (number of days attended divided by the number of days in the period) from 100%.
WSCC is obligated to return these funds, including those that may have been previously been applied to the student account for institutional charges. Students are also obligated to return unearned funds beyond the institutional portion to the Department of Education.
Students must repay Walters State for any funds returned to the Department of Education on their behalf. All recipients owe a repayment are immediately placed on WSCC hold system. This stops all future transactions at WSCC until the student repays their obligation or makes satisfactory payment arrangements.
Failure to make satisfactory payment arrangements on any student portion of unearned funds will result in this amount being turned over to the Department of Education for collection. Students that fail to contact the Department of Education (1-800-621-3115) to repay their obligation or make satisfactory repayment arrangements will become ineligible to receive Title IV assistance at any eligible higher educational institution.

Basic Command List
- gmirror status
- Lists the current status of all gmirrors on the system.
- gmirror list
- Prints detailed information about the devices within a mirror.
- gmirror remove <mirror> <device>
- Removes <device> from <mirror>. This is the clean and preferred method.
- gmirror forget <mirror>
- Causes missing devices to be dropped from a mirror.
- This is useful when you need to replace a drive that has failed.
- gmirror insert <mirror> <device>
- Inserts <device> into <mirror>.
There is a problem with the FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE and 7.0-BETA/RELEASE CDs and this method of gmirror installation on your boot device. I'm currently working on an updated process until the dev team can fix the fixit CD libraries for gmirror. The super-quick fix is to use a 6.2-RELEASE disk 1 when you start up the fixit CD.
-- Eric Crist 30-Jan-2008
UPDATE: There is now a solution to the above problem. This will be fixed for 6.4 and 7.1, but you must follow the extra step below for 6.3 and 7.0 releases.
Ecrist 07:56, 28 February 2008 (CST)
- This method assumes you already have FreeBSD installed on the first drive. Many of these steps are not necessary if your mirror is not going to be your boot device. However, why wouldn't you want your boot device to be mirrored too?
- Boot system from a FreeBSD 5.4+ Install CD (full disc, not boot-only)
- After the installer starts, select Fixit, and From CD/DVD
- When the Fixit prompt appears, run the following commands:
Fixit# mount -t devfs devfs /dist/dev Fixit# chroot /dist
IF YOU HAVE A 6.3 OR 7.0 ISO, you must run the following command as well:
Fixit# unset GEOM_LIBRARY_PATH
- Run the following command for each of the disks in your new array, where <device_name> is the name of the device as listed in /dev:
Fixit# gmirror clear /dev/<device_name>
- Load the gmirror kernel module:
Fixit# gmirror load
- Create and Initialize the mirror:
Fixit# gmirror label -v -b load gm0 /dev/<device_name> Fixit# mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /mnt
- Edit /boot/loader.conf to load the geom_mirror kernel module at boot:
Fixit# echo 'geom_mirror_load="YES" ' >> /mnt/boot/loader.conf
- Edit /etc/rc.conf to turn off system swap. Swap will be handled automatically by geom:
Fixit# echo 'swapoff="YES" ' >> /mnt/etc/rc.conf
- Edit fstab to point to /dev/mirror/gm0xxx either manually, or with sed command here:
Fixit# sed -i ".bak" "s%ad0%mirror/gm0%g" /mnt/etc/fstab
- Note that the sed command above assumes your current boot device is ad0, change this value accordingly for your system.
- Thanks to Miroslav Lachman for the refined command.
- Reboot your system!
Fixit# shutdown -r now
- Once the system has rebooted, insert the other device into your mirror with the following command, where <device_2_name> is the name in /dev of your second device:
Fixit# gmirror insert gm0 /dev/<device_2_name>
Disaster Recovery
Inevitably, there will come a time when we need to rebuild an array due to hard disk failure or some other mean nasty. Follow the steps below, and you'll be on your way to a COMPLETE status once again.
- First off, remove the offending device if you haven't already done so. Upon removal, you should see some messages indicating the loss of a device. Something like:
(da1:ahc0:0:1:0): lost device (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): Invalidating pack GEOM_MIRROR: Cannot write metadata on da1 (device=gm0, error=6). GEOM_MIRROR: Cannot update metadata on disk da1 (error=6). GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider da1 disconnected. (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): Synchronize cache failed, status == 0x4a, scsi status == 0x0 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): removing device entry
You'll also notice that the device entry has disappeared from /dev.
- Once the disk has been removed, replace it with a shiny new(ish) drive.
- Reread the SCSI or ATA bus with the appropriate command:
- SCSI (where 0 is the bus_id):
# camcontrol rescan 0
- ATA (where 0 is the bus_id):
# atacontrol attach 0
da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0 da1: <SEAGATE ST318305LC 2202> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da1: 160.000MB/s transfers (80.000MHz, offset 63, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da1: 17366MB (35566478 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 2213C)
- SCSI (where 0 is the bus_id):
- Tell gmirror to forget about the missing drive, so we can insert the new one.
# gmirror forget gm0
- Insert the new disk into the mirror where <new_device> is the full path to the new device (ex /dev/da1):
# gmirror insert gm0 <new_device>
If the above command is successful, you'll see a message similar to:
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider da1 detected. GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: rebuilding provider da1.
- Check the status of the rebuild with gmirror status command:
gmirror status Name Status Components mirror/gm0 DEGRADED da0 da1 (48%)
Monitoring your gmirror
I've written a small perl script that will allow you to monitor the health of your gmirror array with NRPE and Nagios. You may download it here, or the text is below:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use lib "/usr/local/libexec/nagios"; use utils qw(%ERRORS); my $result = `/sbin/gmirror status`; $result =~ m/(DEGRADED|COMPLETE)/g; my $status = $1; my $rebuild = ($result =~ m/(\w\w\d \(\d\d?\%\))/); $result =~ m/(\w\w\d \(\d\d?\%\))/; my $progress = $1; if ($status =~ /COMPLETE/){ print "Raid Optimal\n"; exit $ERRORS{'OK'}; } elsif (($status =~ /DEGRADED/) and ($rebuild == 1)) { print "Raid Reconstructing: $progress\n"; exit $ERRORS{'WARNING'}; } else { print "Raid Critical!\n"; exit $ERRORS{'CRITICAL'}; }

Yesterday we enjoyed seeing the neck tattoo of a Missouri-based artist nicknamed "Dirtbird," as well as a piece he had inked on his friend Shawn.
In addition to meeting both Shawn and Dirtbird across the street from where I work, I also met Katie, who half-jokingly referred to herself as "Mrs. Dirtbird". She shared this tattoo with us:
Katie explained that this is a wedding tattoo. The piece depicts a heart, comprised of a male and female bird, sewn together. Since she married Dirtbird, this seems like and appropriate expression of their matrimony.
The tattoo was inked by Becky "Pink Eye" Ashcraft, who works with Dirtbird at Punkteur Tattoo in Joplin, Missouri.
Thanks to Katie for sharing her cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

On this Martin Luther King Day it is good to remember the unseemly truth behind the pompous posturing. All the inflated homage to the "I have a dream" secretly veils the real relief of our public officials who thank their gods that there remains no seer, prophet or revolutionary thinker left that can match the vision and the strategic intelligence of the man who called out the conscience of a nation and died at the hands of our government for his trouble.
(I'm not kidding about this. it is an established fact that King died at least partially as a result of actions on the part of agents or agencies of the US federal government.)
Like Christ, before the Grand Inquisitor in Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov, if King returned today, the leaders of our present racist, warmongering administration would kill him again.
I have no doubt that Obama would be the first in line to fire the first shot. He can legally do it now in broad daylight without fear of censure.
King clearly will always be an inspiration to those who are enemy combatants against evil everywhere. We cannot suffer such a man to live.

text: U.S. Hay Production and Supplies at Record Low January 23, 2013 12:52 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email By Derrell S. Peel, Oklahoma State University Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist Two years of drought have taken a huge toll on U.S. hay production. In the recently released USDA Annual Crop Production Summary, total U.S. hay production in 2012 was 120 million tons, down nearly 18 percent from the 2006-2010 average. This is the lowest U.S. hay production total in data going back to 1974. This follows the 2011 hay production total of 131 million tons, down nearly 10 percent from the same five year average. The impact of the drought was significantly different in the two years. In 2011, the states of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas all had production decreases of over 30 percent compared to the 2006-2010 average, with Texas and Oklahoma having over 57 percent decreases compared to that five year average. In 2011, these three states accounted for 78 percent of total decrease in U.S. hay production. By contrast, in 2012, eight of the top 30 hay producing states were down in excess of 30 percent of the five year average. These states represented a wide swath of the center of the country and included the states of Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North and South Dakota and Wisconsin. These eight states accounted for 61 percent of the decrease from the five year average with a number of other states also showing significant decreases. A total of 21 states saw 2012 hay production down more than 20 percent from the five year average. Hay production in Oklahoma and Texas was up significantly from 2011 but was still down more than 30 percent from the 2006-2010 average. The combination of reduced hay production and increased hay feeding due to drought the past two years leaves the U.S. with severely depleted forage supplies. Total U.S. December 1 hay stocks were 76.5 million tons, the lowest December 1 stock level in data back to 1974. This stock level is down 25.5 percent from the 2006-2010 five year average. The reduction is severe in many states. Among the top 30 hay producing states, Arkansas and Michigan had December 1 stock levels down 55 percent from the 2006-2010 average. Additionally, the states of Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming all had December 1 stock levels down more 40 percent from the five year average. Another five states including Arizona, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Texas all had December 1 hay stock levels down more than 30 percent from the five average stock level. December 1 hay stocks were down between 20 and 30 percent in eight more states including Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Utah. In fact, among the top 30 hay producing states only the states of Mississippi, New York and Virginia had December 1 hay stocks greater than the 2006-2010 average level. Pasture conditions in most regions are similarly poor. With the final pasture and range condition report at the end of October, 15 states had more than 60 percent of pastures in poor or very poor condition and another five states had 40-60 percent poor to very poor pasture conditions. Anecdotal indications are that crop aftermath, especially corn stalks, have been heavily used this winter to provide critical feed resources for cattle. The latest Climate Prediction Center forecast for drought conditions indicates little improvement in much of the country through the forecast period to the end of April. If drought conditions extend into spring the impact on cattle is likely to be immediately severe given that forage resources across much of the country are critically low. This, combined with water shortages for livestock is some regions, will lead to another significant round of cow herd liquidation beginning in the second quarter of the year unless drought conditions moderate.

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) Tim Flanders rushed for 101 yards and Vincent Dotson blocked a punt to help led Sam Houston State to an 18-16 win over Cal Poly in the second round of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs on Saturday.
The Bearkats (9-3) were outgained 387-241 but forced three turnovers.
Sam Houston senior Vincent Dotson blocked a Cal Poly punt early in the second quarter, and the ball bounced through the end zone for a safety. Miguel Antonio tacked on field goals of 20 and 32 yards before the end of the first half and the Bearkats led 8-0 at the break.
The Mustangs (9-3) closed the gap on two field goals by Bobby Zalud in the third quarter. Sam Houston quarterback Brian Bell then threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Keshawn Hill late in the third quarter.
Antonio kicked a 26-yard field goal with 3:23 left to put the Bearkats up 18-9. Cal Poly receiver Ryan Taylor threw a 50-yard TD pass to Willie Tucker with 1:34 left, but Sam Houston recovered the ensuing onside kick and held on.
Cal Poly rushed for 224 yards on 56 carries.

|Bra-less Miley Cyrus
She flashed quite a lot of her navy blue bra last week as she left the gym in a sleeveless white top.
And it was no different on Tuesday as the Hannah Montana star went shopping with her mother wearing one of her favourite rock T-shirts.
However this time the 19-year-old star exposed her part of her modesty as she opted to go bra-less for the outing in Calabasas.
Perusing through the clothing store, Miley's side boob was on show for all to see through the gaping sides of her Iron Maiden customised top.
She had taken off her yellow studded biker jacket that she had been wearing to try on some clothes.
The actress and singer paired her oversized vest with a pair of high-waisted denim jeans and some mid-length leather combat boots.
She bundled her brunette locks in a high bun and wore her favourite Ray-Ban shades.
This week Miley furiously maintained that she is not, in fact, anorexic, after a series of reports suggested that she was suffering from the eating disorder.
|Miley Cyrus with mom
She took to her Twitter page to debunk the rumours, claiming her weight loss was due to a dietary allergy.
Miley wrote: ''For everyone calling me anorexic, I have a gluten and lactose allergy,' she wrote on her Twitter account. 'It's not about weight it's about health. Gluten is crapppp anyway!'
She told one fan: 'Everyone should try no gluten for a week! The change in your skin, physical and mental health is amazing. You won't go back!'
Miley's frame has been noticeably slimmer lately - in comparison to just seven months ago during a performance on stage in November.
Fans of the former Hannah Montana star became concerned about the star after after she recently tweeted a photograph of herself inhaling the contents of a Carl's Jr takeout bag.
She wrote underneath the picture; 'I can't eat it. So I'm just gonna smell the s*** out of it! My mouth is LITERALLY watering.'
The star has previously spoken out over the pressure on women to look a certain way.
Back in December she tweeted: 'By calling girls like me fat this is what you're doing to other people. I love MYSELF & if you could say the same.'

Julian Ward - Photographs
Wellington, New Zealand
New Book: Wellington Streets – Julian Ward. See Books & Exhibitions
The artier end of photography may have become fashionable in the past couple of decades, but there remain aspects of it still overlooked, even though they are close to the heart of the medium itself. What's called "street photography" is in this category. You can replicate Dutch still lifes and make a killing, but depict the seemingly chaotic verve of a very ordinary city street and you're doomed to critical isolation.

Make the bearnaise reduction first. In a small saucepan, combine the tarragon, shallots, vinegar and wine over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Blend yolks and bearnaise reduction together. With the blender running, add 1/3 of the butter in a slow steady stream. Once it emulsifies, turn the blender speed up to high and add the remaining butter. Season with salt and pepper and set aside in a warm spot to hold the sauce.

Last week I had the great pleasure of presenting a one day seminar on the Transformational Role of Emerging Internet Technologies on Business Innovation to our – now graduated (Congratulations!) – Global Executive MBA class. Many who attended asked for access to charts and any media that went along with the presentation. This post, I hope, fulfills that request.
Back in June, I was asked to present at an Eduverse mixed reality symposium where the primary audience was located in Holland at University of Utrecht where I presented via Skype and where other participants met at the Eduverse center in Second Life. Rob Sheppard is a wonderful host and, IMHO, puts on an excellent symposium with a very thoughtful mix of technologies that makes it work. In this case it it truly was a "Medium is the Message" moment for me. Be sure to check out other symposium presenters if you have interest in Virtual Worlds.
For those of you who attended the GEMBA session, this 23 minute video gets as much of what we discussed in terms of how emerging technology is enabling entrepreneurs to bypass institutional command and control by embedding collaboration and coordination into the workflow rather than trying to intuit and plan it in advance institutionally. Clay Shirky's example of how, now that we have cell phones, we just say "I'll call you when I get there" rather than having to laboriously plan a meeting location and time with backup plans in advance should come to mind. I also talk a bit more about the lessons from our leadership study that was published in HBR here earlier this year.
I hope you find this video to be of value in helping resurface some of the main themes we discussed.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
I have also uploaded the handouts to Slideshare for you to view:
Congratulations again, and best of luck to you all as you lead your respective organizations to new heights in the coming years.

Vector Linux is a popular Linux Distro whose motto is "speed, performance, stability".
Version 6.0 was released in February 2009. Their stated goal is to "Keep it simple, keep it small and let the end user decide." Having said that, this end user decided to see what was cooking at Vector.
Xfce Desktop – GNOME packages
The modest but pleasant Xfce Desktop is complemented with a nice array of GNOME packages.
The 700 MB ISO download directly from their website http://vectorlinux.com/downloads was fast and without incident.
Vector also offers a deluxe version, which includes installation support and costs $22.99, available for purchase online at their website (Note: We are not associated with Vector in any way).
Vector also comes in a KDE version. The Xfce version reviewed here is targeted at the power user and at users with older hardware looking for a fast Linux that will work without bells and whistles.
Tricky Installation
There is no live CD, so you'll have to install Vector Linux to begin testing its capabilities. The installation screens are pretty straight forward for active linux users. First-timers and users new to Linux may find the installation a bit daunting. Vector has been around for about 10 years, and the process is polished, however, it's roots are in Slackware (A Linux distro for advanced users), and it sometimes shows.
Most of the questions should be familiar to users who have installed Windows, such as configuring your time zone and language. You will have to configure a Linux partition on which to install the OS. There is an automatic configuration option for those who find it too confusing to configure it manually.
Pleasant Desktop, Nice Selection of Installed Apps
Installed internet browsers include Sea Monkey, Opera, and Firefox.
Open Office is not installed on the basic version (it is included in the Deluxe edition). Instead you'll have Gnumeric Spreadsheet, Abiword, and Calendar.
Multimedia includes the great VLC player, Mplayer, Xine, XMMS, and others.
Configure your system with the VASM Control Center.
Gallery of Screenshots
See gallery for screenshots of menus for all the default installed packages.
Vector Linux has been around for over 10 years, and the desktop has gone through several iterations during this time. The Vector Linux 6.0 Xfce desktop is lean and great for older machines and new ones alike. This version of vector draws a nice comparison with Xubuntu, the popular "Lite Ubuntu" distro.
The package selection is good, but you'll want to add some of your favorites after installation. The installation and configuration of Vector Linux 6.0 is simple enough for competent users, but may be a bit confusing for newbies. Sometimes the shine on Vector wears thru and the origins of Slackware are apparent.
Bottom line – if you're looking for the real power of Linux (ala Slackware), and you want to install on your older or limited memory machine, give Vector a shake.

BOSTON, Mass. – The MIT women's track and field team traveled across the Charles River on Friday evening to compete against some of the top Division I squads at the Terrier Invitational hosted by Boston University. A number of individuals performed very well in this non-scoring meet.
One week after setting a new MIT record, Karin Fisher continued to impress in the pole vault, leading a sweep of the top three by the Cardinal and Gray in the event. Fisher once again went over the 12-foot mark, clearing 12-4.75 feet to take first overall. Hazel Briner was second with a solid vault of 11-11.75 feet while teammate Lauren Kuntz (10-11.75) was third.
Amy Magnuson continued to return to her All-America form, finishing seventh in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 9.24 seconds. Jacqueline Brew was 14th in the event at 9.56 seconds.
Jamie Simmons was the lone Tech runner to achieve an NCAA qualifying mark, as her time of 58 seconds flat was below the Provisional standard, placing her eighth in the meet. Martha Gross posted a time of 1:00.38 to come in 22nd overall.
A pair of freshmen had personal bests in the mile with Louise van den Heuvel improving her first-place time at last week's Springfield Invitational by nearly 10 seconds. van den Heuvel came through in 5:06.11, good for 23rd overall. Martina de Gues' time of 5:12.12 was also a personal record and gave her a 27th-place standing.
In Saturday's home Coed Invitational, Tech runners displayed their proficiency at some of the longer distances, including Casey O'Brien's win at 800 meters (2:29.33). Marie Burkland was second in the mile with a time of 5:34.01 while teammate Arunima Balan (5:43.85) followed in sixth place. Emily Kuo took fourth in the 600m, finishing in 1:50.43.
A day after her strong showing in the pole vault, Briner broke the nine-second mark in the 55-meter hurdles, placing second at 8.92 seconds. Jaclyn Konopka (9.06) was fourth and Megan Bumgarner (9.22) was eighth. Briner also set a new personal best mark in the long jump, winning the event with a leap of 17-2.25 feet, the fourth-best distance in program history.
Tech will return to action at the Shobrys and Aronson Track next Saturday, February 5. The Engineers host Williams College and the Coast Guard Academy in a tri-meet, beginning at 12:00 p.m.

The Panthers played like it was their Super Bowl.
And in many ways, it was.
The Panthers won the biggest game of the Ron Rivera era, beating the 49ers 10-9 with a dominant display of defense.
The Panthers had won four straight, and five of their last six, but they had done so against the dregs of the league. Going on the road against the defending NFC champs was going to be a different challenge.
The Panthers met that challenge, and then some, stifling the 49ers at every level in the second half. They even caught a few breaks late, with a Jonathan Stewart fumble bouncing to fullback Mike Tolbert as they worked to run out the clock.
They still had to play defense one last time, and Panthers cornerback Drayton Florence picked off Colin Kaepernick to end the game. They sacked Kaepernick six times, limiting the 49ers to 91 yards passing.
