KUDOS: Weir High graduate Kristine Robinson, an interior designer and design educator, will have her work included in two publications this month: A book, in both print and e-formats, by an award-winning author, and cover story in a national trade magazine.
Robinson, who operates her consulting business, Robinson Interiors, from her home near Philadelphia, was contacted in February by author Treena Crochet, for permission to use one of her client images in her upcoming publication: "A Matter of Style: Design Ideas for Personalizing Your Home." The book features a range of looks from traditional to contemporary designs and guides readers through the planning stages of design while focusing on colors, textures and furnishings.
After viewing Robinson Interiors' profile on the website Houzz.com, the author chose a photograph of a red and gold family room to feature in a segment about creating individual expressions of self in one's home.
"My client in this particular project was eager to use bold color in an exciting and vibrant way, so I guided her to use a red accent wall which features some of the architectural details in the room. The space really reflects her sunny personality and is a cozy and personal retreat."
The second publication to feature Robinson's work is Drapery & Design Professional, a magazine geared toward the interior design and drapery workroom industry. The magazine is produced by the Custom Home Furnishings Academy for those who share a passion for home decorating and sewing.
The featured project is Robinson Interiors' 2011 Bucks County Designer House room, and the article outlines the relationship between designers and workrooms.
Robinson, who also teaches the interior design program at Temple University, plays an active role in the drapery industry and has lectured on the national level at conferences and workshops.
She is the daughter of Garfield and Helen Fidler, who make their home on Marland Heights.
HONORED: Misty D. Smith, Ph.D., recently was recognized as the Distinguished Doctorate Alumni Award recipient at the 12th-Annual Black Tie/White Coat Gala held in Columbia, S.C.
The Alumni Award ceremony and gala were hosted by the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and the USCSOM Alumni Association. The distinguished doctorate alumni award is presented annually to an USCSOM alumnus for their significant accomplishments in research and teaching.
Smith is a 1992 graduate of Oak Glen High School and a 1996 graduate of Muskingum University. In 2001, she received her doctorate in biomedical science from the University of South Carolina and is employed as a research assistant professor in the department of pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Utah, where she serves as an investigator in the NIH/NINDS-sponsored Anticonvulsant Drug Development Program. She is the daughter of Jody Smith and the late Larry G. Smith of Chester and makes her home in Salt Lake City with her husband, Malcolm MacKay III.
FORUM: Eastern Gateway Community College President Laura Meeks was among the 30 Ohio college and university presidents in Washington recently for U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown's, D-Ohio, sixth-annual college and university presidents' conference.
Brown's forum, the first of its kind for college presidents in Ohio, brought together leaders at two-year, four-year, private, public and community colleges to discuss shared challenges and goals for students and institutions of higher learning.
"Our sixth-annual conference builds on our state's legacy of linking education with economic prosperity, which in turn creates a stronger middle class. Ohio's two-year and four-year, public and private institutions of higher education are producing the next generation of scientists and lawyers, mathematicians and teachers. It is their work - and their commitment to strengthening the entire pipeline from cradle to career - that will ensure our economy continues to grow and succeed. That's why this annual conference is so important," Brown said.
"This conference convenes college and university presidents to discuss ways the next generation of Ohioans can gain the tools and skills needed to repair our economy and create the innovations that will build 21st century progress. Education is our primary economic engine. That's especially true for older Ohioans who have been laid off and are now looking for skills to compete in emerging fields. It's also true for servicemembers who return home and want to start a new career. As a nation, we all benefit when every student has the opportunity to earn a quality education," Brown added.
Invited to address this year's forum were U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki; U.S. Sens. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, and Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., the Chairman and Ranking Members of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee; College Now Greater Cleveland CEO Lee Friedman; and members of Ohio's congressional delegation, including Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11) and Republican Sen. Rob Portman.

Ok, I hope I explain this well.
I can make an HDR image 'in camera' with three different exposures. I can also make an HDR image with Photomatrics. If I am taking 6 shots around with one Z and one N then stitch them together to make them flat, I could make an HDR in photomatics of that image too. So which is the best way to do an HDR pano? I have taken 3 shots for every stop on my NN5, loaded them all into PTQui, selected HDR but it all gets fumbled up and doesn't blend correctly. Interestingly, the same images made into HDR before they go into PTQui, stitch together very well. So whats going on?

Torbjorn Tornqvist, chief executive of trading house Gunvor, said Wednesday it was clear that shale production on a scale similar to that in the US is possible in several of the world's biggest current energy producers and consumers -- but that Europe is unlikely to be transformed by it.
By CASSIE WERBER
LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Russia and China will lead the way
in the production of resources from shale after the US,
according to executives, but Europe will likely lag behind.
Torbjorn Tornqvist, CEO of trading house Gunvor, said
Wednesday it was clear that shale production on a scale similar
to that in the US is possible in several of the world's biggest
current energy producers and consumers -- but that Europe is unlikely to be transformed
by it.
Surging production of
oil and gas from unconventional sources has seen the US
outstrip predictions to become one of the world's most
energy-secure regions.
"Is it possible to adapt that elsewhere? And the answer is
yes, but not everywhere," Mr. Tornqvist said. "I think in
Russia, you will see the first major change. You have the
political climate there to drive through large-scale shale
operations both in gas and oil."
He also said that China, Australia and South America were
promising as a shale-exploiting countries.
Mr. Tornqvist sounded a much less positive note for Europe, which has so far been
divided on its approach to the relatively new technology of hydraulic fracturing,
the method of extracting shale resources known as fracking.
France has voiced strong opposition to the idea, while the UK
government has insisted that shale gas production "will
Mr. Tornqvist said: "Europe? You all know the problems
there: political problems, no-one really wants to see rigs on
the landscape -- and problems and fears about groundwater and
so forth will prevent Europe from exploiting its
resources, which aren't that big anyway."
The Gunvor CEO was addressing the Financial Times Global
Commodities Summit in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Bob H. Takai, general manager in energy for Sumitomo,
speaking in a panel discussion that followed Tornqvist's talk,
said that China could rival Russia as the biggest shale
"As far as the reserve is concerned I think China has got
the largest potential reserves of shale oil and shale gas, even
bigger than the US," Mr. Takai said. He added that before those
reserves could be accessed China would struggle with problems
ranging from infrastructure to the availability of water.
The discussion led Tornqvist to reiterate: "It will take a
long time. And if I was to put the first nation to do that in
the scale, I would guess today Russia.
"Because they, through their political system, they have
decided to do it," he said. "They have the infrastructure, they
have the tradition of drilling gas, it isn't so densely
populated, they have the water, they have the ingredients.
"And they're already doing it," he said. "I know from my
talks with Gazprom; they have advanced plans to get into shale
gas and shale oil."

What a lot of people don't know is that mneahtol can be made fro natural gas.Is there anyone who does not know this, really? Short of changing one element to another, you cna make nearly any hydrocarbon from any other hydrocarbon. It is just a Question of Cost. A lot of natural gas is used to make fertilizer, among many other things.Yep, you can liquify natural gas, but you have to supercool it to do it. as Vange points out, it takes a lot of energy to do this, which means you use a lot of NG to make CNG, which raises the price.Methanol is CH3OH and Ethanol is C2H5OH and Butanol is C3H7OH. Same as Methane is CH4, Ethane is C2H6 and Butane is C3H8. When you burn them you convert the carbon to CO2 and the Hydrogen to H20. In either case, the longer the chain the more energy released.The lighter the molecule the higher the vapor pressure and the easier it is to create an explosive mixture with air. Methanol explodes easily and has an almost colorless flam when it burns, hence it is very dangerous as a fuel, which is one reason Indy cars no longer run on it.As far as I can tell, Vange is 100% correct in his critique. We can do damn near anything, the trick is to make it pay. But anything we do has cost trade offs, and sometimes those trade offs are in things that are not priced or not properly priced. Until we get a whole lot better at agreeing on what people own and how they should be valued, we are going to make a lot of suboptimal decisions.It is hard to figure why one producer is flaring gas becasue it is not worth delivering, when another porducer at the other end of the continent is drilling holes to get the stuff.
Amy Myers Jaffe, director of Baker Institute Energy Forum, a pocliy think tank at Rice University in Houston. "They are saying to themselves: I am going to produce the gas regardless of what the price is, because I'm making money on the oil and liquids."The article isn't about shale gas. It talks a great deal about gas production coming from drilling for oil. A lot of that gas comes from conventional oil wells, not shale. Yes, these companies can make a lot of money. But that does not mean that the shale gas producers who get a bit of liquids can make it with prices as low as they are. With petroleum selling for $90 a barrel, drillers in places like the Eagle Ford shale or the Bakken can give away their natural gas for nothing and still make 100% annual returns on their drilling dollars. -- ForbesShow me the 10-K forms that tell me that shale gas is profitable. (And when you do make sure that you are not just looking at the production cost, which is a fraction of the total.)Technology development and application are and will remain key elements in maximizing the full value of these large, long-life resources. Here are some examples: Unconventional production from Haynesville increased four-fold in 2010, while production in Fayetteville doubled in 2010. The Barnett Shale, where we currently have gross production of approximately 900 million cubic feet per day of gas, is another good example of value creation through technology. We have been able to maximize long-term ultimate recovery with longer lateral lengths and improved drilling and completion efficiency. And our net unit development cost in this shale play is about $1 per thousand cubic feet equivalent, a 50 percent improvement in the last five years ..." -- ExxonMobileWhat exactly is meant by net unit development cost? What happens when you include all of the other costs? Does this cost include the full depreciation or is Exxon using the overstated reserve estimates and the high EURs that have yet to be seen in the real world?And surely if shale gas were this profitable the pure shale gas players would be swimming in cash. But if that were true why are they swimming in read ink instead and trying to sell themselves off or find new credit lines.

A Special Note for Ode Rimba Raya
Musical drama is a powerful form of art because its unique balance of thought and feeling makes learning exciting, challenging relevant to real-life concerns, and enjoyable. It also enriches children through performance, and builds social and communication skills, and improves their self-esteem and confidence. All of those skills were performed in a fantastic fable show titled \'Ode Rimba Raya' and were presented nicely by a hundred and fifty Madania Primary Students from grade 3, 4 and 5 on March 28th 2015 at Usmar Ismail Theatre - Kuningan, Jakarta. The musical drama Ode Rimba Raya was adapted from an original script 'Serigala Sakit Gigi' written by Irvan Mulyadie and was directed by a talented director A. Azis Wahyudi. It tells about the adventure of the main characters 'Wolf' and other animals in the jungle.
Ode Rimba Raya was supported by the Music, Art and Theatre teachers under the supervision of Pak Syaiful Haq who had a great collaboration with all Madania Primary teachers. The musical drama was packed with happy songs and nice melodies led by musical director Dessy Sophianty. A special song was created by Pak Aziz with the same title, and all dances were choreographed by a creative young man name Zhaya Fadhillah. For this show, Madania Primary had a special guest star performance from Ibu Shahnaz Haque who helped us for the whole process of this show. The process of rehearsals took about 5 months, involving all parts of the whole drama musical; Choir, Percussions, Pianica & Xylophone, Guitar, Piano, Violin, Gamelan and Dalang, Solis, and the actors/actress as the main characters. We were quite worried when the students performance was getting nearer since their energy had been spent for the preparation. You can imagine how busy the costume team under Ibu Yani's coordination in preparing costume designs for different characters, choosing fabrics and sewing them until finish. They did it in their tight and limited time and working hours.
Finally, all could see how great and unique the costumes for the students were. The big efforts, hard work and good coordination from all crew of Primary teachers including supports from other departments finally came to the end. The first sight when the audience came inside was the attractive artistic stage created by the artistic team under Pak Dwi's coordination, which portrays a jungle. The students with bright and colorful cos- tumes, beautiful stage make-up and interesting dances presented a great show and entertained the audience of Ode Rimba Raya amazingly. Each of the performers did a great job, especially the Choir students as the background of the show sang happily although they had to stay on stage from the beginning till the end of the play. All the audience was excited and satisfied during the show and they gave a standing applause when it was finished. What a precious closing for us. We were really happy, touched and also proud of our students for the marvelous work they had done.
Special thanks we sent to Ibu Tari as the Production Manager, and all lovely production teams and crew of Ode Rimba Raya from MAT and Primary teachers, whose hard work and big support had made this musical drama happen. Last but not least, we should give plenty of gratitude and appreciation to all parents who had supported us. Bravo Madania Primary. (Rina Chan)

Glendale — From his place among the stacks, North Shore Library Director Dick Nelson has seen the world transform throughout the course of his four decades in the library business.
Where there was once a sprawling card catalog to track the library's collection there is now a countywide digital system at anyone and everyone's fingertips. In place of the phonograph records and the room-filling, card-fed computers of old are desktop PCs, DVDs, CDs, e-book readers, audiobooks, and, of course, rows upon rows of books on almost every topic imaginable.
All-told, the North Shore Library's collection contains more than 121,000 items. About 25,000 physical items are checked out each month. When digital media are included in the count, roughly half a million items circulate annually between the North Shore Library and its member communities of Glendale, Fox Point, Bayside and River Hills.
"You name it, we've got it," Nelson said.
After 20 years at the head of the ever-growing, ever-changing collection, Nelson is retiring on March 17. A public reception will be held in his honor at 5 p.m. Feb. 28.
Nelson thanked the Friends of the North Shore Library, North Shore Library Foundation, library board of directors, and Fox Point staff — which act as the library's fiscal agent — for their help and support over the years.
Hopes expansion becomes reality
"I can't say enough about those groups," Nelson said. "I've been lucky enough to have an excellent bunch of people on the library board. They're very committed, and now they're looking into an expansion project, and I hope the public gives every indication of being interested and seeing it come about."
Unsurprisingly a bookish type, Nelson already has his eye on several area book clubs and plans to audit local college courses in his free time.
He also plans to take educational, "Road Scholar" vacations with his wife, Cathy, — coincidentally, the retired 20-year director of the Brown Deer Library — go fishing, volunteer with the Kletzsch Park Friends, and spend more time with his six children and seven grandchildren.
Always happy to help
Head of circulation Kathy Manning described Nelson as a "shirt-off-his-back type of guy" who has always been there to help library staffers and customers.
More than anything, Manning said his legacy will be a place that the community finds welcoming and useful.
"He's a fixture around here and I truly hope he enjoys retirement," Manning said. "He completely deserves it for what he's put into our library, and the profession."
WHAT: Communitywide reception for Dick Nelson
WHEN: 5 p.m. Feb. 28

1950 Chevrolet 3100 Suburban - Ride 'Em Cowboy!Written by on September 11, 2006 A fun restoration the entire family can enjoy!
Malibu Lake, California's "Movie Mike" Geller makes his living buying, selling, and renting special-interest vehicles to movie studios. However, Geller is also a collector of sorts. Over the years he has owned a ton of really trick hot rods, including a variety of 1930s Fords, a '55 Chevrolet Stepside pickup, a few '58-61 Impalas, and even a '38 Lincoln Zephyr-Airstream camper- trailer combination. Now here's Movie Mike's latest, a '50 Chevy 3100-series Suburban.
"I found this thing on eBay. It had been sitting in a barn up in Oregon for 25 years," says Geller. "It was pretty cherry, so all I basically had to do was take it apart and perform what you would call your basic cosmetic and mechanical restoration!"
Starting with the chassis, Geller disassembled the 3.54:1 GM half-ton live rear axle and powdercoated the housing and the newly de-arched elliptic rear springs semi-gloss black at North Hollywood's Pyramid Powder Coating prior to reassembly. The same thing went for the factory I-beam front axle and leaf springs, as well as the chassis itself. In the process, Mike had all the nuts, bolts, and fasteners clear zinc oxide-plated by Van Nuys Plating, and the Chevy's steering box was also rebuilt back to stock. All-new brake components were used during the lengthy yearlong reassembly. However, rather than use the 16-inch original equipment GM steel wheels, Geller opted for a set of '38 Chevrolet artilleries rolling on a set of Coker Tire reproduction Firestone 7.00-16 "gangster whitewall" bias-plys.
Powering this beauty is a Coast Motors (Canoga, Park, California) assembled and machined 235ci Chevrolet straight-six. Internally, Geller's six-banger is 100-percent stock. However, on the outside the engine features a polished finned-aluminum Offenhauser rocker cover and a Jet Hot-coated factory exhaust manifold dumping the spent gases into a Morse Muffler (Burbank, California) custom exhaust system. Backing up Geller's inliner is a Dick Schumacher-assembled, floorshift-activated four-speed transmission.
When it came to preparing the body, Greg at North Hollywood, California's Quality Body Works smoothed out the 56-year-old GM sheetmetal prior to repainting the Suburban a special Glasurit mix Geller humorously calls "Border Patrol Green." Body reassembly also included all-new rubber and a combination of N.O.S. and reproduction body trim parts, as well as all-new window glass provided by Jim Carter Truck Parts.
You'll also note Mike's Suburban features many period-correct bolt-on accessories, like a set of Southern California Auto Club license plate frames, a pair of restored '51 vintage black and gold California license plates, a Mobil Gas "Pegasus" flying red horse, and, of course, Mike's "Ride 'Em Cowboy" placard.
Inside, you'll find the handiwork of North Hollywood Trim's Pedro. The two rear bench seats, forward-folding two-piece combination front seat, as well as the door panels and headliner were upholstered in a brown Spanish grain, while the rugs are brown cut pile. Another neat item found inside the truck is a genuine Chevrolet script heater.
"This was a fun restoration," says Geller, "and unlike some of the street rods and customs I've built in the past, this is something the entire family can enjoy!"

Well I don't mind saying I cursed SI when I heard about the Steam only route. In fact I swore that I wouldn't buy the game and that I was finished with the FM series for good!
How wrong was I!
When the demo was released I decided to give it a go and install Steam, figuring that if I didn't like the Steam route then I could easily uninstall and forget about playing. I only played one pre-season match in the demo but it was enough to confirm to me that I would be buying the game!
For me this years version is the one that has got me addicted all over again - it's like being back at school where I would skip afternoons/classes just to go and play CM. Since then I have continued to buy/play religiously although probably not on the same time scale due to work and other commitments.....until now!
This years game just seems so much more in depth and polished than before. I've had the game since Friday and am still in pre-season looking to get everything sorted from tactics, training, backroom staff etc. On this years version you actually feel attached to your club, players etc. Also for the past few years of FM I've always downloaded a tactic to use due to not havng enough time to spend on the game but this year I'm developing them myself as I actually feel I owe it to myself (and the game) to be successful. Same with finding new players, I used to always just look at other people recommendations, but now I find myself spending hours scouring lower leagues and abroad to try and find players that will fit into my team and it's tactics.
The new layout of the game takes some getting used to but I think it was badly needed as it's made me 'explore' certain things a lot more. The new tactics screen I think is excellent which makes things simpler but also has a lot more depth to it. As I said I'm now creating all my own tactics and have certain ones for situations such as home/away games and european games etc. The team talks are also a welcome addition - I love being able to use the new tones and also talking specifically to certain ares of the team such as defence etc. For the first time I have to say I feel really in control of my team and individual players. I'm hoping that next year SI will look at introducing something like this for press conferences and they don't seem to have changed at all. You can see in real life when someone like Sir Alex gets irate at a press conference or if he's in a joking mood and something like this would be a great feature and make them a bit less tedious than they are at the moment.
Overall though I'm delighted with the new game and it's certainly reinvigorated my love for FM which I felt was slowly fading as I got older. I have to thank SI for this - although I'm not sure the loved ones in my life will be saying the same thing......

Harley A. Passmore of Kettle Falls went home to be with his Lord on June 14, 2011. He was born in Tacoma on Jan. 29, 1939 to Margret (Richmire) and Harley Passmore. He married Susan Obermeier on July 11, 1975 and resided in Puyallup.Harley worked for many years as a construction laborer on highways throughout western Washington. He was a member of Laborers' International Union, Local 252, Tacoma. Harley retired in 1987 due to health issues and the family moved to Ocean Shores. There, he began his "career" of volunteer service. Harley served as a groundskeeper at the Ocean Shores Baptist Church and at the Copalis Community Church. He also volunteered at the latter's food bank, ran a bus ministry for the church and was the Sunday school teacher for fourth through sixth grades. As a member of the area Crime Watch, he worked with the Ocean Shores Police Department. In 1993, Harley and his family moved to Colville and in 1995 to Kettle Falls. He continued volunteering at several area churches by cleaning, mowing lawns, serving on building committees, teaching both Sunday school and AWANA and anywhere he was needed. In 2005 Harley received the President's Volunteer Service Award from the USA Freedom Corps with a commendation from President George W. Bush. Harley also served many hours at the Orient Elementary School as groundskeeper, kitchen helper and janitor. He was honored in 2006 for his service there. Harley was nominated by the Ferry County AmeriCorps Organization for the Governor's Volunteer Service Award. He was an honoree at the Governor's Mansion in Olympia in April 2007.Harley enjoyed hiking on Mt. Rainier, the Olympic Mountains and visiting the ocean with his children. He loved the history of South Dakota, Montana and surrounding states and visited them frequently with his family. Harley served in the U.S. Army in 1958 and 1959 and continued to honor and support the military. He loved the USA and passed that love on to his children.Besides his wife, Susan of 35-plus years, Harley is survived by his daughters, Cindi (Jason) Wildfong, Callyn Cooper, Kiersten and Jessica Passmore; sons, Jonathon and T. J. Harley; five grandsons, Travis, Jacob, Gabriel and Connor Wildfong, and Micah Passmore; two grand-daughters, Angela Passmore and his sunshine Harleigh Cooper; two sisters, Mary (Brad) Nelson and Christina Passmore; a brother, Robert; two sisters-in-law, Ruthann Thompson and Wendy (Orlando) Tiffany-Salter; two brothers-in-law, Walter (Mae) Obermeier and James Vesper; along with numerous nieces, nephews and loving friends.Harley was preceded in death by his parents, brother James, sister Janette MacPherson and by his beloved mother-in-law, Laura Obermeier.Memorial service was held at Kettle Falls Community Church on June 18 with Pastor Anthony Pinkham officiating.

Can you recommend a sub-100 pound/dollar SPDIF/coaxial audio input device into USB (mac os x lion and Win 7 64 compatible?)
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 24 '14 at 12:01
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
What model of mac do you have? Mac Pro and Macbook Pro machines have optical S/PDIF built in already, so all you need is a converter like the M-Audio CO2.
Price check shows that, at about 125 pounds, the us-144mkii is a little over my intended budget of 100 pounds but it also has MIDI, which I also need and is USB-powered which is a real bonus for portability and because it means one less power socket required - I have many in use and would like to reduce if I can.
Correction: I should have said the US-144mkii
And I just bought it today and it seems to work with latest update of MacOS X 10.7.2 (Lion), on Tascam's site they have drivers for 10.6 (Snow Leopard) but in this case this means that is the minimum OS version, as these drivers also work with 10.7.2 as said. I couldn't say that is a general rule for all drivers but in this Tascam product case it works. Moveover on Tascam's facebook page they state officially that this driver will work and that the US-144mkii is 10.7 / Lion compatible. Need to select it as audio input/output in system preferences and restart the machine - well that's what the manual says. SPDIF in fine, MIDI IN fine. Will check out other features, but I think this is probably going to work out as required.

Product Reviews
Rated 3 out of 5 by buildjunkie from So So for the $ Basically well built, with reservations. If you order this keep in mind it uses a different type pop-up drain than what is supplied with most faucets. If you purchase your faucet separately and order anything but chrome finish, make sure to request a different drain (it will come with chrome if you don't). Another BIG consideration, your drain plumbing WILL show through the glass doors! Why they don't use an opaque glass when they realize the plumbing will sit directly behind the doors I don't know. You will have to replace the glass unless you want to stare at PVC through the doors of your $2k vanity. Also, you probably will not be able to use the shelves supplied since the drain plumbing will interfere with the placement provided. One more thing to know, if you order a linen tower to match the drawers on the tower are NOT drilled for the hardware! Really? You will have to drill holes to attach the handles :-( Last but not least, the glass backsplash did not abut the countertop properly. I has a professional install this, and they were unable to prevent a widening gap between the backsplash and the countertop. Very puzzling as to how glass would not be cut straight, I don't think it can warp, but we had a 1/4 inch gap at the center, and flush at each end?? Possibly a defect in the vanity itself?? Hopefully Wyndham takes note and improves the experience for future buyers!

Collection Workers
Collection workers—sometimes known as bill collectors, collection correspondents, or collection agents—are employed to persuade people to pay their overdue bills. Some work for collection agencies (which are hired by the business to which the money is owed), while others work for department stores, hospitals, banks, public utilities, and other businesses. Collection workers contact delinquent debtors, inform them of the delinquency, and either secure payment or arrange a new payment schedule. If all else fails, they might be forced to repossess property or turn the account over to an attorney for legal proceedings. There are approximately 318,970 bill and account collectors employed in the United States.

One more!
Hi again, just a quick addendum to the Vest-uary post. I completely spaced out on a very cute vest pattern! It's the Ribby-Yo Vest by Cathy Carron. Knit in Peruvia Quick, it's available now in the Spring 2009 issue of Knitscene, one of my favorite knitting publications…
This vest was featured in a very cool column called Style Spotting. Styling knitwear can be difficult–you don't want to have that unfortunate slip shod, ramshackle look that pop culture usually saddles us crafters with. We know we're better than that!! This column helps by discussing the sartorial properties of specific garments and showing a few cute underpinnings and accessories. To quote my fellow UMass alumni the Pixies, it's educational! I don't know about you but I'd like a whole issue's worth of this sort of content…here is a preview:
Cute! With such a chunky yarn, you'd have plenty of time to whip this up before the end of February/Vest-uary, especially if you have President's Day off…

Thank you for the free doll aran–I am working on a knitted doll wardrobe utilizing my "free yarn" (already paid for stash) for our Relay for Life team site to raffle it off as a fundraiser. This is a nice addition.
Again, thank you.February 13, 2009

I am knitting this very cute vest, but having a problem. I hope someone can help me. I am on the section in the pattern called "Divide for Neck". The number of stitches I have on the needle (62, size M) doesn't work for the instructions in the section. I have emailed Knitscene for corrections, but no reply. Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions would be appreciated.March 26, 2009

Post an explanation, and your code to the ydn-javascript group. The Yahoo developers will be able to help you.
18 Sep 2006 12:08 PM #5
You bump your autocomplete z-index in your CSS file:
#yourACId {z-index:1000;}
Like Animal said, if that doesn't work post your whole code to ydn, the Yahoo! engineers will help you track down the problem.

And it has Sound Alerts to announce incoming calls and readout Text Messages so you can stay connected, even when you are on the go.
Ruggedized Design
If you're the rugged, adventurous type, you need a phone that can take it. The Intensity III can. It's built to comply with 810F military specs* to withstand altitude, temperature changes, dust, humidity and shock. And the ruggedized design, textured back and easy-to-grip sides are ideal for staying connected while you hike, bike or navigate a room full of cubicles.

As tough as this phone is, it also has a softer side. Thanks to the built-in camera and camcorder, it has the power to preserve memories. And with the microSD™** slot, you can carry up to 32GB of memories with you at all times. You can also share your memories with video and picture messaging.
Bluetooth® 3.0
When you're on an adventure, the last thing you need is a wire getting in your way. That's why the Intensity III has built-in Bluetooth 3.0 Technology. If you're listening to music or talking with a compatible headset, you can do it wirelessly. If you're printing with a compatible printer, you can do it wirelessly. And if you're sharing photos or video with another Bluetooth device, you can do it — you guessed it — wirelessly. Don't let anything get in your way.

I was reading this post on SuperUser, and it made me wonder about security. I've read somewhere else that some viruses/malware/whatever CAN break outside of a VM... and then infect the host OS. BUT, what if the virus considers the 1st VM as the Host OS? Or what if you had a Windows box, Linux VM, then a Windows VM? Surely this cross-platforming would be extremely hard to get across / subvert. Would this be an ideal way for someone to study viruses or malware if they couldn't afford the correct tools? Surely a firewall and antivirus scanner on each "system" would be good enough to protect the real host, unless it was a pretty badass virus.
The short answer is: No, this would not be an ideal or foolproof way to study a virus.
If the virus is designed to break out of the VM, there is no reason to believe it would stop at doing that once. For all you know, it might test whether it is run inside a second VM and break out of that one, too. That does not require much more sophistication than breaking out of a single VM.
If you are concerned about this threat, there are better defenses, such as running with a machine you use for no other purposes and that you securely wipe every so often to return it to a known-good state.
Firstly, there is no guarantee you'll even be able to run a VM inside a VM. It may seem obvious but it is by no means certain it will even work. This is because VM's may rely on virtualization features of your hardware which are not exposed inside the VM itself.
Secondly, why two, why not three, four, five, etc... There is such a thing as overkill security. If the virus can "escape" the inner VM, then it can just as easily escape the outer VM, and reach the host. Besides, most viruses transmit themselves via the network and not through some hole in the VM, and in that case just nesting VM's changes nothing since the host network will be equally visible on every level.
If your virus is dangerous enough for you to even consider nesting multiple virtual machines, it must be one hell of a virus, and consequently you should just grab a cheap netbook with no network/bluetooth capability and roll with that. Otherwise, a single VM ought to be enough.
You can run VM inside a VM, but you probably won't be able to use hardware virtualization. It should still work thought, but you will probably have to use different hypervisors (example: VirtualBox for first VM, VMware for second). I think this is unnecessary and insecure. RHEL and Fedora (and maybe others) have built-in support for running KVM and using SElinux to restrict the VM process on the host. SElinux provides ample protection, but not against paravirtualized driver vulnerabilities. For maximum security, do not use paravirtualized drivers.
One issue may be network attacks. It may not matter how many nested VMs you have. If the nested VMs can communicate to your OS via lan network and that is how the attack is designed then nesting would be pointless.
Also i believe theres no reason to nest VMs.

Sage of ages, level 24:
Keeper's Prescience (24th level): At the start of each of your turns, roll a d20. You can use the result of that roll in place of any one d20 roll you make before the start of your next turn.
Does this replacement occur before the d20 roll or can it be used to replace an already rolled d20?

Time to take a hike
|Think your kids are ready to expand their hiking horizons? Wear rain boots and use a wide, shallow stream as your path. (Andrew Greto/FamilyFun magazine/MCT)
But if the prospect of convincing your kids to walk anywhere, let alone in the wilderness, seems daunting, don't worry: our ideas will make the experience fun and stress-free. Just remember, it's about the journey, not the destination. Relax and enjoy the slower pace that hiking with kids can bring.
You'll want to choose a hike that's challenging, but not too challenging: somewhere in between a trek to Machu Picchu and a trip to the mailbox. For tips on picking the right track, we asked Helen Olsson, author of "The Down and Dirty Guide to Camping with Kids."
v For a rough idea of how long a trail to try, figure that a child can walk about a half mile for each year of age. So a 6-year-old should be able to handle a three mile trek. (Of course, you should take into account your child's disposition and energy level.)
v oop trails are more interesting than out-and-back trips, which have you retracing your steps on the way home.
v For a group goal, set a destination to reach, such as an old cabin or a pond with a beaver lodge.
v Consider the change in elevation (meaning, how steep the trail is). Two miles on a flat trail is easier to hike than a trail with a vertical gain of 500 feet. That said, many kids find uphill routes, with their opportunities to scramble up boulders, more engaging than flat trails.
Bring or wear these essentials for a safe and happy hike, says Karthika R. Gupta, owner of the family adventure travel agency Memorable Jaunts.
v Sturdy, supportive walking/hiking shoes
v Track pants/waterproof pants or shorts. If there's any chance of rain, skip the jeans - denim is very uncomfortable when gets wet.
v Light, rainproof jacket. Dress in layers; weather in the mountains and in forests tends to be much cooler than at lower elevations.
v Daypack. (An everyday backpack is fine.)
v Snacks, such as trail mix, granola bars, and nuts. Individual portions are easier to dole out to hungry hikers.
v Notebooks and pens so that kids can doodle what they see
v Water. A general rule of thumb is one 8-ounce bottle per person, but more is always better.
v Small flashlight, especially if you're hiking near dusk
v Compass. It's a great educational tool and a good backup to cell phones and a GPS device.
v Small first-aid kit containing bandages and antibiotic ointment (such as bacitracin) for any cuts or scrapes along the way
v Bug spray and sunblock
If you have the space, add these unessential items to your pack for on-the-trail activities.
v Magnifying glass for getting a closer look at interesting bugs, mosses, and rocks
v Spray bottle. Fill it with water and use it to mist spider webs, making them easier to examine. Spray rocks to see if they become more colorful. Turn the sprayer on yourselves if you're in need of cooling off.
A simple game can rejuvenate hikers and head off boredom at the pass.
v Hold a sensory scavenger hunt that'll encourage your kids to focus on their surroundings. Instead of giving them a list of items, ask them to find something that's lumpy, orange, smooth, rough, sticky, cold and so on.
v Play classic car games as you walk, such as 20 questions or "I'm going on a hike."
For the latter, one person says, "I'm going on a hike, and I'm bringing ———————" (filling in the blank with something that begins with the letter A).
The next person repeats what the first person said but adds an item that begins with B: "I'm going on a hike, and I'm bringing applesauce and brownies."
The next person adds something that begins with C, and so on.
-Remind kids to stay on marked trails by making it a game. Who can spot the trail blazes - those dots of paint or plastic markers affixed to tree trunks - first?
-Take turns being the leader. The rest of the family has to follow the leader's movements as closely as possible. If he skips while flapping his arms, you do the same.
-Clear packing tape. Loop a tape "bracelet" around your child's wrist, sticky side out. She can adhere leaves and other lightweight nature finds to it as she walks. (Note: Some parks have a strict "leave what you find" policy.)
-Crayons and paper for making rubbings of tree bark and rocks
Like us, trail master John McKinney (author of "Hiking with Kids") hopes you'll be "unplugged" during your hike. That said, he recommends a few smartphone apps to enhance the experience.
The websites Trails.com (and free iOS app) and AllTrails.com (free iOS and Android apps) offer the two most comprehensive collections of trail descriptions and maps. Their latest apps offer hiking distance, elevation gain, GPS locations and weather conditions.
Maplets (iOS, $3) allows you to download thousands of maps - not just of parks but also of cities, theme parks, subways and more. Some maps are GPS-tagged so that you can see your current location.
These five apps will help you learn as you explore.
-Find out who shared your trail with MyNature Animal Tracks (iOS and Android, $7).
-Name that blossom with Audubon Wildflowers (iOS and Android, $5).

The signature of compact oriented $4k$-manifolds has the following additivity property, first observed by S. P. Novikov: If two manifolds are glued by an orientation-preserving diffeomorphism of their boundaries, then the signature of their union is the sum of their signatures. C.T.C. Wall showed that this additivity property does not hold for the more general situation where one glues two manifolds along a common submanifold of the boundaries, which itself has a boundary.
My questions is: does it hold when the manifolds has several boundary components and we only glue part of them? (which means the final manifold still has boundary)

I want to send an email with android 2.2. First I made an intent chooser with an ACTION_SEND to select which to use :
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, Resources.getString("EmailInvitationSubject", getBaseContext()));
String body = Resources.getString("EmailInvitationBody", getBaseContext()) + Local.User.FirstName;
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Invite friends"));
But in that case, the selector show 'Bluetooth, Messaging, Google+, Gmail'. I want to show ONLY Gmail or other email app.
I saw in the sdk docs there's a new CATEGORY_APP_EMAIL to use but it's only available in the API level 15. I have to keep API level 8. Is there a way to do that ?
By the way, I'll want to do it for messaging too so that in the end I can have 2 buttons: one for email and one for messaging.

Kaynor has enough at crunch time to hold off Stratford
WATERBURY -- When the Kaynor Tech boys basketball team plays a nonconference opponent, it isn't just looking to win. The Panthers are looking to make a statement. Wednesday night at home against Stratford, the Panthers got the win and made the statement.
The Panthers looked impressive building a 13-point lead over Stratford in the second half, and not so impressive giving it all back. But Tech got gritty at the end and claimed a 63-61 victory.
Kaynor (12-1) came away from this win disappointed in two areas: defensive rebounding and offensive discipline.
"We got outrebounded ridiculously," said Tech coach Hank Spellman.
The final totals weren't horrible. Stratford (6-4) held a 45-40 edge on the boards, but it was what the Red Devils did on the offensive glass that hurt Tech. Stratford owned the offensive glass.
And when the Panthers used their pressure defense to take the game away in the third and fourth quarters, they forgot about running a patient offense. The shots got a bit wild as Tech started to hand away some possessions.
"We have played with control on offense all year," Spellman said, "and tonight we allowed them to push us into a hectic, up-and-down pace. We can play it, but it took us out of our element."
Kaynor got the performances it needed and expects from its top guys, though. Terrance Thompson did his thing, scoring 23 points, with three assists and some clutch midrange jumpers in the fourth quarter. Tre-Kel Douglas powered the Panthers in the second half, with 20 points, 13 rebounds and four steals.
And the man who saved the game in the final minute, Tre'Von Gibbs, scored 10 points to go with 11 boards, four steals and five blocks. He played the fourth quarter with four fouls. Yet when Stratford was trying to tie the game in the final minute, he blocked a shot and stole the ball to help seal the victory.
"We could have played a whole lot better," Gibbs said. "We've just got to put that game in the past and focus on the future. We can be very successful."
It was Thompson and Douglas who helped the Panthers steadily pull away from Stratford. "It wasn't a great game but we played well enough to win," Douglas said.
With Gibbs on the bench for long stretches with foul trouble and with Tech already struggling on the boards, it was Douglas and DeAndre Gibbs who picked up the board work.
"We knew our big man was out, and we had to play for him," Douglas said. "It's a win. That's all we can say. It wasn't pretty, but it was a win."
Marcus Vereen scored 16 for Stratford and Erin Rankin 14 as the Red Devils continue to play without leading scorer Bernard Brantley, who's out with a foot injury. Still, Stratford made an impressive run to get the game close at the end.
"We were just gambling and getting after it," said Stratford coach Paul Dudzinski. "Some things turned our way. We made some threes, and we made the game a little frenzied."
But Dudzinski said of the Panthers, "They still finished."
That's what Spellman liked, too.
"The guys pulled it out in clutch time," he said. "I can't say enough about that. I was disappointed in their performance, but the grit, determination, hustle, refuse-to-lose attitude, you can't beat that."

Fear of house mice is actually a very appropriate reaction, though, because they often carry disease. Contact with the urine, droppings or saliva of infected mice; mouse-contaminated food;or bites from the fleas they carry can spread serious illness such as salmonellosis, listeria, hantavirus and even the bubonic plague.

Cub Scouts from Ohio and West Virginia packs in the Two Chiefs District of the Ohio River Valley Council headquartered in Wheeling are gearing up for what is an annual tradition - the Pinewood Derby.
It will be held at the Fort Steuben Mall's center court on Friday and Saturday and involve about 175 Tigers, Wolves, Bears and Webelos from 16 Cub Scout packs in the district, which includes New Manchester, Weirton, Follansbee and Wellsburg in West Virginia and Cadiz, Flushing, Freeport, Bloomingdale, Richmond, Wintersville, Steubenville, Toronto and Martins Ferry in Ohio.
Setup for the derby gets under way Friday afternoon, according to Joe Kovaleski, longtime Pinewood Derby chairman.
That will be done in time for races Friday that run from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. - the adult races that are open to Boy Scouts or their family members or family members of Cub Scouts racing on Saturday.
The Friday night adult races have two classes and generally attract any where from 30 to 40 participants.
One class is the stock race, which Kovaleski said follows the same rules as the Cub Scouts' Saturday races.
The other class is the hot rod class where two rules apply - a car has to weigh 5 ounces and follow specific dimensions.
Six trophies will be awarded in each of those classes Friday, according to Kovaleski.
"A lot of the Cub Scouts when they move up (to Boy Scouts), they are enthused yet from racing as Cub Scouts, so they will join in the adult race," Kovaleski said.
The Friday races serve a dual purpose - not just fun for the competing adults, but a chance as well to test the tracks for the big Saturday racing event that gets under way at 9 a.m. and continue until 6 p.m.
"Usually we do preliminary heats all morning long and break for lunch, then run all of the final heats," Kovaleski said of the Saturday schedule. With triple elimination the order of the day, the Cub Scouts in grades one through five get to race their cars "a good many times," Kovaleski said.
"It makes for a little bit more fun," he said.
Final races begin around 4 p.m. Saturday to ultimately produce the six final racers who are presented trophies. They also receive gift cards courtesy of the Fort Steuben Mall.
The Pinewood Derby has been a part of Kovaleski's life for nearly 22 years, and he has served as event chairman for at least 20 of them.
The event has teaching value, he said.
"They learn what competition is all about," Kovaleski said.
The Cub Scouts also learn how to build a car, working with the help of a parent. "There is usually a good eight hours' worth of work that goes into it in most cases," Kovaleski said.
Saturday's events also will include a Scout show to showcase troops from around the area and their projects.
The first Pinewood Derby was held on May 15, 1953, in California, the brainchild of Donald Murphy, a Cubmaster looking for a wholesome, constructive activity that would foster a close father-son relationship and promote craftsmanship through competition. Today, more than 1 million Cub Scouts participate nationwide in Pinewood Derby competitions.

5 Things You Won't Believe Aren't In the Bible
#2. The Antichrist
Type "Is Obama" into Google and one of the top three suggested searches will always be "the Antichrist?" If the Web had existed in Ronald Reagan's day, you'd have gotten the same result for him and (likewise for Mikhail Gorbachev).
Hot Antichrist-on-Antichrist action.
So clearly there is a huge chunk of the world waiting for someone to come along and fulfill the old biblical prophecy: A charismatic leader will fool the whole world, rise to power, institute a worldwide dictatorial regime and (finally) bring about the Apocalypse. There exist entire religious sects who keep a sharp eye out for the smooth talking sign of the End Times who will trigger the destruction of everything we know and love.
You skeptics can laugh, but know that many Americans who vote in 2012 will be doing it based on which of the two candidates is least likely to be the Antichrist.
This man is not basing his vote on sound fiscal policy.
The Only Problem Is ...
The Antichrist is mentioned only four times in the Bible, and each time he's described the same way:
"Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the Antichrist." (2 John 1:7)
Yep: The Antichrist is anyone who doesn't believe in Christ. The "anti" is basically being used the same way it's used when we say someone is "anti-war." So anyone who wants to accuse Richard Dawkins of being the Antichrist is actually entirely correct, and what's more, he'll agree with you.
Man, antichrists get all the fine bitches.
Actually Came From:
There are characters in the Book of Revelation who will help usher in the End of Days: for instance, there is a False Prophet, who looks like a lamb and talks like a dragon (figuratively, we're assuming). And then we have "The Beast" from Revelation 13, which is described as "coming out of the sea" with 10 horns, seven heads, 10 crowns and other body parts that do not even resemble a human body accidentally.
The Beast we're talking about is the beast on the right.
The beast is who is associated with the number 666, by the way. It wasn't until the second century that some dude named Saint Irenaeus started calling it the Antichrist, borrowing the term from another part of the Bible that wasn't referring to it. But even that did very little to change the fact that The Beast would have a hell of a time getting elected to public office since it looked like ... well, a motherfucking beast.
If Napoleon Dynamite wrote a fan-version of Narnia.
It wasn't until the Middle Ages that the Antichrist was portrayed as a guy rather than a huge multiheaded monster. Thus the Antichrist, as a figure in pop culture and cheap-shot accusation was born. Countless novels (like the worldwide bestselling Left Behind series) and movies have helped push the concept to where it is today.
So to summarize, millions are awaiting what they believe is the fulfillment of an ancient biblical prophecy that is in reality cobbled together from at least three different characters from the Bible, with a little bit of Rosemary's Baby for good measure.
#1. Hell: Everything Other Than the Fire
Hell is a place of eternal torment, a realm of unrelenting suffering for all sinners, heretics and unbelievers. It is a land of fire and brimstone arranged into nine circles and filled with imps and demons who deal out cruelly ironic punishments for all of eternity. Ruling over all of it is Satan, who probably sits on a throne made of skulls or something.
We'd be more impressed by an armchair of femurs.
The Only Problem Is ...
Of all that, the only part you'll find in the Bible is the fact that Hell sucks and that there is fire (from passages like Matthew 13:42: "And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.")
And ... that's as specific as it gets.
Actually Came From:
As usual, artists and writers took those vague descriptions and ran with them. The understanding of hell as a fiery subterranean cavern full of lava and demons shoving flutes up your ass for eternity owes its popularity largely to the medieval double-team of Dante and Hieronymus Bosch.
Dante's Inferno popularized the idea of hell as a nine-level first-person-shooter. He pioneered the concept of contrapasso, the idea that prisoners of hell are subject to ironic tortures related to the sins that brought them there. Like the "flatterers," who spent their lives bullshitting, and were forced in hell to "wallow in shit" for eternity.
Then the Dutch artist, Bosch, came along and painted it.
Image #558 in our "pictures to stare at while on acid" series.
As for Satan being the ruler of hell, that's a misconception we can probably blame on John Milton. In Paradise Lost, Satan famously bitched: "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven." But there's a reason why God cast Satan and his minions into hell instead of Wisconsin: Hell sucks for everyone including imps and demons. According to 2 Peter 2:4: "God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into chains of darkness to be held for judgment."
That's right, chains and prisons ... for them. No iron fortresses, no fiery thrones, no mention of Satan ruling the cell block ... all of that is from the Bible's extended universe and fan fiction.
"And then, Boba Fett and Jesus Christ flew off on their divine jetpacks to fight the Nazis."

赤 is generally understood as meaning 'red' (which can explain combinations like 赤子 (red face of a crying baby)). However, I have seen some words with 赤 that have a negative meaning, 赤 possibly increasing this connotation. 赤裸裸 (blunt, frankness (赤裸 being nudity in Chinese)), 赤貧 meaning extreme poverty, 赤口 (赤日?) being one of the unlucky days in Rokuyo (lucky and unlucky weekdays in simple), meaning 'Evil day'. Why does 赤 appear in such morbid and negative words? Is 赤 simply 当て字 or does it have any meaning or semantic reason for being in words like these? Is it 虫 where the common understanding of the word (in the case of 虫 it would be 'bug') has a connection to the negative meaning, if this is the same for 赤 then how is it connected to the negative meaning?

I do not know that much about Japanese kanji, but in Chinese 赤 has the second meaning of "bare, exposed". 赤貧 thus probably means "with totally nothing".

Define the function $$f : \{n \mid n = 3m − 1 \text{ for some } m \in \mathbb{Z}\} \rightarrow \{k \mid k = 4m + 2 \text{ for some } m \in \mathbb{Z}\}$$ by $$f(n)=\frac{4(n+1)}{3}-2$$ Prove that $f$ is a bijection.
I am aware that I need to prove $f$ is injective and surjective and therefore, a bijection. How should I approach this? (The lecturer has written "Backwards proof" on my script and marked my answer as incorrect)
Edit (my answer as requested in comments)
Edit2 (switched incorrectly labelled domain and codomain)
if $$f(x) = f(y)$$ then $$\frac{4(x+1)}{3}-2 = \frac{4(y+1)}{3}-2$$ $$x = y \text{ }$$ Therefore the function is injective.
Let $$m \in \mathbb{Z} \text{, } 3m-1 \in \mathbb{D} \text{ (domain)}$$ $$m+1 \in \mathbb{Z} \text{, } 3(m+1)-1 \text{, } 3m+2 \in \mathbb{D}$$ $$f(3m+2) = \frac{4((3m+2)+1)}{3}-2$$ $$f(3m+2) = \frac{4(3m+3)}{3}-2$$ $$f(3m+2) = \frac{12m+12)}{3}-2$$ $$f(3m+2) = 4m+4-2$$ $$f(3m+2) = 4m+2$$ $$4m+2 \in \mathbb{C} \text{ (codomain)}$$ Therefore the function is surjective.
Since the function is injective and surjective, it is a bijection.

I believe it can be (and often is) used for gender equality.
Of course.
If all people are equal, that includes gender, race, religion, status, etc.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Pentagon is announcing plans today to furlough about 680,000 of its civilian employees for 11 days through the end of this fiscal year.
The plan would allow only limited exceptions for the military to avoid or reduce the unpaid days off.
Secretary of State Chuck Hagel is expected to announce the decision today when he speaks to Defense Department civilians in Virginia.
According to a memo obtained by The Associated Press, the decision results from what Hagel called "an unpleasant set of choices" -- trying to avoid furloughing workers, while also looking to use money to restore sharp cuts in training and flight operations.
He says in the memo that if the "budgetary situation" allows it, he will look to bring an early end to the furloughs.
Automatic budget cuts initially forced the Pentagon to warn that most of its 800,000 civilians would be forced to take 22 unpaid days off. When lawmakers approved a new spending bill at the end of March, they gave the Pentagon greater latitude to find savings, and the furlough days were cut to 14.
Under pressure from military leaders and members of Congress, the Navy will be able to avoid furloughs for tens of thousands of workers at shipyards.

I often misuse "rm" for "mv"! I hope to make "rm" a command requiring root privilege, like "apt-get". How to do that, please? My system is Ubuntu 10.10.
migrated from stackoverflow.com Feb 16 '12 at 9:03
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
While you could use chmod to give only the root user execute permissions, this would likely create many problems on the system. A better choice would be to alias the command in your .bashrc file by adding the following line:
alias rm="rm -i"
This makes the command interactive and you will then be asked to confirm each deletion.
Thanks to other posters for pointing this out.
The best solution is to use

This is off the top of my head. I'm sure folks will correct edit if I have my syntax off or something.
Insert this script in your ~/bin and call it rm.
Make sure that ~/bin is first in your $PATH so your rm is found before /bin/rm.
Set that script to ownership root:your_group and permissions 760 so that you must sudo in order to execute rm and you will not need to be root to write or read the file. You can then also get around this script by simply using /bin/rm instead of rm, but you'll do that knowingly. Maybe you'll even get in the habit of specifying rm by absolute path and eventually will do without the little extra script.
If you aren't familiar with setting your own path variable, edit your .bash_profile with these lines (or edit if they already exist).
You'll need to restart bash or use the command 'source .bash_profile' to bring your changes in to the current shell.

The museum alone is a great place to visit and out in the field, sitting amongst the little one room school house, church and 1930's home is the massive Cooper Barn. This beautiful white barn stands out in it's newest home at an impressive 48 feet tall, 66 feet wide and 114 feet long!
