I have an internal website and virtual directory
http://server2012/logs. I created a CNAME on my DNS server as LOGS -> server2012. I would like to set it up so that
http://LOGS redirects to
http://server2012/logs. Ideally, I would still want it so that all pages appear in the browser as being off from the LOGS URL. So
http://LOGS/network.html?site=32 is what is displayed in the browser, but it is really being served from
http://server2012/logs/network.html?site=32. I've looked at URL rewrite, but can't seem to get to work.
I have an internal website and virtual directory
I'm not sure this is at all possible. The LOGS need to be its own virtual server.
So essentially, set up a new virtual web server (if you're using Apache this is a breeze,) with it's root folder pointing to the same folder as this one does: in
Then, set up your DNS (bind?) to aim the internal traffic from
To tie it all up, simply make the new virtual web server respond to only
I run this type of set up at my home office for developing client sites, and it's been running 20 or more sites at once for years without headaches.
Bare in mind, the /logs/ folder will still be accessible through
Edit: If it weren't clear already, this is obviously not a CNAME fix - you might as well us an A record. :)
Hopefully that helps.
I believe you can do this easily enough in IIS 7.x:
Good luck!

I have an old Windows computer that won't boot (missing NTLDR or something??). I don't even remember what Windows OS was on it. Anyway, what I want to do is this: forget Windows and install ubuntu on this computer and then possibly sell it as a fully functional machine. Can I download ubuntu onto a set of cd's or dvd's, using this Vista pc, then take the downloaded media to the broken machine and install ubuntu system from them? Will the downloaded system on the cd's be bootable? I have an old Win98 startup diskette that will boot to drive A: and that will let me change to drive D: (the cd drive). So if the downloaded ubuntu system on cd's or dvd's is bootable, can I proceed to install it from there?
"missing NTLDR" is a Windows error message (NTLDR is the small program that boots Windows NT). If your computer makes it to that error message, then it is booting properly and has no issues, it is just the windows install that's broken.
So, the computer is not "non-bootable". Depending on how old is "old", it may be unable to boot the installation media directly, in which case you can just use a floppy loaded with something like SmartBootManager, which is able to boot CDs itself (no matter whether the BIOS supports bootable CD's or not, SBM has its own implementation of El Torito (the bootable CD standard)).
You can use SBM if you have a floppy drive. I'm afraid the Windows 98 floppy won't be of much help here (there is probably some clever way to boot a live CD from MS-DOS, but it won't be as easy as just trying SBM).
First thing to do is check if your hardware can handle Ubuntu. For a list of system requirements Click Here and read the part that talks about requirements. But I can tell you from past experience that it will be fine to install Ubuntu.
1) Get Ubuntu Click Here
2) Burn The .ISO file that you downloaded into a CD.
3) Turn on the computer in question on.
3) Place the CD it in CD Drive of the the computer that you want to install Ubuntu on.
4) Go into the BIOS, and change the boot order to boot from CD.
5) Save and exit BIOS.
6) Ubuntu installation will start once the CD boots.

The API responses are returned in gzipped format. But by using Content-Encoding gzip, the burden of unzipping is on the user of the API. On the other hand if the server uses Transfer-Encoding gzip, many http client libraries (for eg. Python's urllib) will do the unzipping automatically. The server gets the same bandwidth savings.
It's the same as much of the web.
As a rule, you don't want
What you want is the actual content, exactly as it would be without the content-encoding, but to get it faster. That is to say, you want
So all in all, Transfer-Encoding is the blatantly obvious choice both here and in just about every other case where Content-Encoding is used.
However, the support for Content-Encoding is vastly greater than for Transfer-Encoding, with tool-kits, apis and libraries for both client and server giving support for the former vastly outnumbering those that do for the latter, which results in a spiral - it's not worth servers supporting it when clients don't use it and you can kludge it with Content-Encoding, and it's not worth clients supporting it when servers don't use it and you can kludge it with Content-Encoding.
Which makes it a case of "if all the webservers, browsers and web-client toolkits jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?" To which the answer is "since we have to interoperate with those toolkits, yes".
Transfer-Encoding is hop-by-hop, while Content-Encoding is end-to-end.
This means that if there is a proxy involved, anywhere, the proxy will see the TE gzip, unzip it, and not necessarily forward the request as TE gzip.
So, the choices are
The logical choice is CE gzip.

Mind the gap.
Also, online only.
Saved $15 and got free shipping. They let you choose free shipping before applying the 30% off, so if you buy $50 worth of stuff, your total will be only $35 afterwards! Steal.
The only problem with this deal is that I purchased the clearance coat I wanted from them LAST NIGHT! Now I have to decide whether to make another order and return the first :/ sad day!
@chellemonkey: You also can go too the store and ask if they can refund you some money. Sometimes it works.
Nice timing, my wife was just saying I need to retire some of my jeans (they're my church jeans because they're so holy!) and I've found that Gap jeans fit me well.
This is a great deal. Just make sure, if you have time, to check your local store, the sale prices are much much better than online.
definitely check the store....wait for friends and family pass
@chellemonkey: I did the exact same thing! Called the customer service line a few hours ago and got a price adjustment. You don't have to wait for it to show up.
They don't have my size in the specific pants that I'm trying to buy. Do you think they'll let me do a size swap for no cost?
@aesthetix: There should be no charge to swap in and of itself; only the difference in price between the pants themselves should be an issue.

Recently I had occasion to be in Michigan and it provided a great opportunity to check out Bad Brads BBQ in New Baltimore Michigan.
The building is just terrific and I sure wished it was a lot warmer so we could have sat on their incredible back patio. It has a fireplace, a pond and a while lot of appeal !
Everywhere in the restaurant there is a concerted effort to make it interesting warm and appealing. I have to say the decor is just really great. I think its a fine line in BBQ joints. They have done a really fantastic job in this BBQ joint.
From the inlaid wood tables that have a great look to them, to the attractive bar and the wood piles outside they have paid attention to a lot of details.
However with even those great details the show stopper has to be the incredible murals that are a bbq carnivores version of a Picasso or a Rembrandt— pictures of meat cuts on the brick walls and knives painted on the brick facings all over the restaurant. I loved these.
More importantly though I think have paid close attention to the main meats. We ordered a sample platter of sausage, brisket, chicken, cornbread, collard greens, and potato salad served with warm tortillas.
The chicken was really moist and tender and there was a generous amount for the platter. I personally think it needed more oomph (just my preference) but that was easily remedied by using one of the many great sauces that is on every table. I really liked the spicy one. It had great depth and was full of many layers of flavor. All of the sauces were interesting and full of flavor.
The potato salad for me was just fine. Nothing to knock your socks off but nothing bad about it either. Just a really decent potato salad with good texture.
The sausage I have to admit I tried it twice and I did not like it at all. It was the only item that we tried that I really was disappointed about. I have eaten sausages all over the place from Texas to Canada and everywhere in between and these were just not good in my opinion. The texture was too fine and all you could taste was vegetable. You could not taste any pork. I wasn't the only one in our party that thought this. We all did. One of my dining partners even pointed out that the sausages tasted like a vegetable mirepoix before you add the bread to make stuffing. When you expect a pork sausage you should be able to taste the pork. Sadly these were lacking. They looked really good too. Terrific color and they had that really nice snap when you bit into them – Such a shame they coulda been a contender…….
Let me just say this I love collard/turnip greens. I love it when its done right and the balance of the vinegars and the greens marries. It can be a little bowl of heaven when that happens. These were almost there. The only thing is that I got to crunch (yes crunch) on some tough beans in the collard greens. Ugh. They need to take those beans out or cook them properly and let the greens with the lovely striations of meat weaved through them shine. Pretty simple fix.
Moving on to brisket. It was delicious. It was smoky and tender but not too tender and God bless them they left some of the decadent fat on the brisket slices. I thoroughly enjoyed the brisket slices. They were wonderful. Absolutely a must have for anyone going there.
Additionally a must have would be their cornbread with the whipped BBQ butter. It was glorious and tender and just sweet enough and just crumbly enough and it is probably one of the all time best cornbreads I have ever had. It was like your Grandma had just made it for you out of her 50 year old cast iron pan. I liked it so much I ordered another. It was that good. Don't miss out on their cornbread.
I like this restaurant. I liked it a lot– from the stacks of wood outside to the BBQ smells coming from the kitchen. I like the way the it feels and the food and all of the things that make a good BBQ joint in my opinion this place has. I look forward to going back and having their ribs and pulled pork more brisket and of course their to die for cornbread. Make sure you stop in if you are in the area. Its worth the drive.

A second grade teacher of a friend of my daughter taught her class that Columbus was not a nice man, and explained why. My daughter was not affected by this teaching. However, it brought up the question of what should I do when/if this happens to my daughter? Whether or not Columbus was a nice man, second grade is not the time to teach this and therefore I disagree with the teacher. What should I do should this happen in a class my child is in?
Teach your children to think critically about what they are taught
This way it will matter less what they are taught at school. You can present your view at home, and they can make a logical decision on which they accept. Of course this has the downside (if you consider it a downside, I personally do not) that your child will also begin to question what you tell them. But you will not be there forever, and it is much more important that they learn how to interpret and evaluate information for themselves.
It sounds like your concern is about a teacher mixing opinion with the teaching material.
If the teacher is presenting an opinion you disagree with, then you can raise the issue with them directly. I would suggest starting off by saying whether or not your agree with their opinion is not the issue, but rather that you are concerned that the opinion expressed is not appropriate for the child's age, and that you would request that the teacher focus instead on the facts and a neutral, unbiased outlook. Using your example, you could point out that they don't need to portray Columbus as a hero, but merely avoid going out of their way to make him look like a villain.
While not quite the same as your scenario, the steps of documentation and escalation described in this blog may be helpful.
You can always home school your children. Then you have total control of everything they learn or don't learn. It is honestly your only option to control their education in totality.
This is a very important and critical topic. It questions the education philosophy. The topic is about the definition of a "teacher". Is the teacher a facilitator helping the students read a book? Or the teacher is an educated thinker providing students with deeper understanding of the world? How much freedom should a teacher has to convey knowledge to the students? Are there other people more qualified than the teacher to control what the teacher says? How do we qualify those people? who qualifies them?
I believe in the parent's right to manage the education of the child. However, I argue that it must be macro-managed rather than micro-managed. This is because the parent may not have the knowledge, expertise, the ability, or the time to define the details of what the child should learn. This task is better be given to the specialists. What a parent can do is determine the broader curriculum and teacher requirements.
The parent has the right to determine the cultural values the child is exposed to. This is achieved by selecting the society to live in, the people to interact with, and certainly the teachers. Once the teacher is accepted, we must give the teacher the freedom to convey his/her knowledge, experience, thoughts to the child. This provides the child with wholesome eduction. The teacher should not be stuttering of fear to say something that may not be acceptable. It is unrealistic to think that we can predefine everything for the teacher to say.
What if the "accepted" teacher's opinion on a specific topic conflicts with the parent, or the school administrator, or some government official? The answer to this questions depends on the culture and the political system. In a free democratic society, the teacher should have the freedom to teach. The teacher's reputation defines his/her market. The parents can compensate for those specifics by exposing the child to other opinions.
What we can enforce on the teacher is not to grade a student based on an opinion. If the student has a logically presented argument, the teacher must accept it. A qualified teacher should know the difference between facts and opinions.
Unfortunately, most current education systems do not allow parents the freedom of selecting teachers. This is what needs to be changed.
It's fine to disagree with a teacher. And even fine to bring it up with them.
But if you disagree with curriculum and facts, then that's a whole other issue and you have two options:
1) run for school board and try to push your agenda
2) pull your kids out of public school and find a school that adheres to your own belief system

Does anyone have experience using SQLite with XNA?
Or using any other DB with XNA?
SQLight does work with XNA, just don't expect any store procedures or functions. Any flat file will work to store data (XML, JSON etc). I prefer XML, though if I was using lots of data I would switch to SQLite
You should have no issues Accessing SQLite from a Windows XNA Game. On Windows, XNA Project is just like any other project and you can do anything that C# can do. On Xbox or WP7 this isn't completely the case; however, there is also a C# version of SQLite written to run on fully managed environment (Xbox, WP7): see the ZMan's post here: http://xboxforums.create.msdn.com/forums/p/47127/282261.aspx

I am on a regimen of 2500mg daily of Depakote ER, a Valproic Acid (VPA) derivative, and on a vegan diet. Previously I attempted to put the two together with the resulting fatigue and nausea (likely resulting from hyperammonemia) associated with secondary carnitine deficiency.
As far as I have been able to put together (please correct me if I am wrong);
- VPA binds to and otherwise renders ineffective large stores of carnitine in the body and reduces the body's ability to synthesize it
- L-Carnitine is responsible for evacuation of NH3 from cells, and a deficiency leads to ammonia poisoning
- Vegans consume significantly less L-Carnitine in their diet, and, when coupled with VPA treatment, can facilitate hyperammonemia.`
Currently I am already consulting with my neurologist with respect to maintaining the efficacy of my medication, however I would like to find out more about improving my absorption and body stores of carnitine and staving off secondary carnitine deficiency due to the shift to a vegan diet.
Intake, Dosing
As such I have a few questions related to carnitine supplementation to ensure a healthy mitochondrial transfer process:
- What approximate intake (mg/150 lb adult) is necessary to prevent hyperammonemia in a non-valproate treated adult (if any, considering it can be synthesized by the body as necessary)?
- What intake (mg/150 lb adult) is necessary for someone being treated with VPA? (i.e. what is the ratio of milligrams L-Carnitine displaced per milligram of VPA in a 150 lb adult)
Since supplements are absorbed at a rate of about 14-18%, and ingested L-Carnitine is much higher, how can absorption be improved? According to one study:
[B]ioavailability of L-carnitine in individuals adapted to low-carnitine diets (i.e., vegetarians) is higher than those adapted to high-carnitine diets (i.e., regular red meat eaters; 66%-86% versus 54%-72%) [LPI]
- What complementary foods or supplements boost bioavailability of, specificially, L-Carnitine in the body?
- Does Alpha Lipoic Acid (as found in spinach) boost bioavailbility of L-Carnitine as it does Acetyl L-Carnitine?
L-Carnitine vs. Acetyl L-Carnitine
More than one resource promotes the combination of Alpha Lipoic Acid with the chemically similar Acetyl L-Carnitine in its efficacy related to mitochondrial health; the sum of the two is reportedly greater than the parts.
- Is this a dead end or distraction with respect to treating secondary carnitine deficiency related to VPA treatment?
- Is substituting Acetyl L-Carnitine effective for L-Carnitine supplementation since the two can be converted back and forth? ALC is typically more expensive than LC, so it would be especially helpful to know if it would be more effective.
Per the concern regarding answering this question related to its specificty and scope:
I would like to encourage that information is put forward. The criteria for usefulness (up-voting) would be any researched answer to any one or more of the above questions. Usefulness need not be comprehensive, just informative regarding the admittedly specialized questions below.

Like the questioner in Do I need to do anything to protect my pool during a rare freeze? I live in central florida and its going to be a hard freeze tonight. Do I need to let the spigots drip or cover them for a short period of time? It is much less water volume than a pool, but there is also much less exposure since it goes right into a cinder block wall.
A short freeze should not be a big deal for your area. I just bought some of the spigot covers for mine. I live in Virginia and have a bit colder temps than you do. Normally we have no problems with our area either. I just covered them to make sure.
In colder climates at least, the norm is to have either shutoffs, or frost-proof sillcocks.
A shutoff is simply a valve on the inside of the house. You close it off, then open the outside tap, and the water drains out of the pipe in the wall.
A frost-proof sillcock (pictured below) is a tap with a very long stem, so the shutoff is actually at the base inside the house. The part that is exposed outside and in the wall is empty when the vale is shut.
If you have one of these, you are fine. If you have shut-offs inside, I would close them and open the outside taps.
For rare freezes, you can turn on the faucet slightly, to drip a little. This will keep fresh warmer water coming in, and reduce the chance of freezing.
If your house has a crawlspace with the plumbing, those pipes are potentially susceptible to freezing, too. This trick helps there, as well.
Obviously, this is a waste of water if you have to do it more often.

Charlotte, NC – Charlotte 49ers head coach Alan Major has announced that 6-2 guard Ben Cherry has transferred from Tulane to Charlotte. Cherry played high school basketball at Charlotte's Myers Park High School. Cherry, who will graduate from Tulane in May, has signed a financial aid agreement with the university and will become eligible once the NCAA approves his transfer status as a grad student. He will have one year of eligibility remaining and he plans on working on a Master's Degree in Real Estate.
"We are excited to have Ben join our team," Major said. "Ben is a Charlotte native who is excited to be back home. He is a well rounded college basketball player who will add three-point shooting to our team. He also brings maturity and leadership to the team."
Cherry, who played his freshman season at the Citadel, saw action in 62 games with four starts at Tulane.
This past season, he saw action in 34 games while averaging 4.4 points per game. He knocked 34 three-point field goals while shooting 50% from beyond the arc. He scored in double-figures three times including a career-high 17 points against Southern Miss, February 13. He scored 12 points on four three-point field goals against UAB, February 27. In addition to his shooting touch on the court, Cherry was named to the Conference USA all-Academic team for his success in the classroom.
He redshirted in 2010-11 after suffering a season-ending knee injury in the eighth game of the season.
"I am pumped and excited about coming back to Charlotte," Cherry said. "I enjoyed meeting with the 49ers coaching staff. I am excited about playing with a great group of guys. I am really looking forward to playing my final season of college basketball in my hometown near my friends and family."
With a young lineup that often featured five freshmen and sophomores on the court, Charlotte went 21-12 last season and earned a post-season berth in the NIT. It was the 49ers first 20-win season and first post-season appearance since 2008. The 49ers, who competed in the Atlantic 10 Conference in 2012-13, will move to Conference USA in 2013-14.

I have a 98 Saturn sw2 with a recent problem. Two times now it has stalled while idling and when it doesn't stall it floats near 500 rpms (Usually 750 - 950). The first time, it would start and just drop down to nothing, the next was coming to a stop. These times have been remedied by using the gas pedal to regulate the rpms and keep them in the normal range. It may be worth noting that the first time it happened was after filling up from near empty (emptier than I usually let it) and there was a bad storm the night before. Is it a sensor, some blockage or did I get bad gas?

I caved (mainly since it is dangerous to keep driving it like it is) and brought it to my local mechanic. He says it is the Idle Air Intake control. I am not going to accept this answer until I can do a test drive.
EDIT: Well my mechanic was right on the nose. The replacement worked like a charm.
Long shot, but do you have a voltmeter? Check the voltage at the battery when the car is running, might be a faulty alternator.

The humans have been around for a few million years, other organisms longer yet. Changes that occur in the genome and propagate (may) eventually throw a new species ... or atleast branch off the old one. Are there any chromosomes out there that may be more susceptible to mutation than their neighbours?
terdon is spot on with the recombination hotspot comment. Mutations are often associated with recombination (information gets lost during crossing-over, so DNA repair is necessary, which of course can introduce mistakes/mutations). It's a fact that there areas in certain chromosomes where recombination happens much more often than other areas of the chromosome. So it follows that chromosomes with more hotspots would likely have higher mutation rates than other chromosomes, on average. This does raise the point, though, that perhaps it's not the mutation rate of the entire chromosome that matters-maybe mutation rates at a more-local level (such as near a hotspot or far away from a hotspot) are more worthy of consideration for your question. Also, I imagine that sex chromosomes have much lower levels of polymorphism than autosomes. This doesn't have to be because of a lower mutation rate, though: another explanation would be that deleterious recessive mutations on the X chromosome would be purged more easily than on autosomes because their phenotype appears in males (who don't have a second allele because they don't have another X chromosome, so the deleterious phenotype can't be "hidden" like it would in a heterozygote).

Frequently Asked Questions
Completing an Adoption Home Study
A home study is conducted after you have completed your pre-service training classes and application to foster or adopt. This is because you will have a better understanding about the characteristics of children you are able to successfully parent after the first two steps of deciding to pursue adoption and applying to adopt.
The home study is a written document your caseworker writes about your family and includes basic information drawn from interviews with your family and information provided by third parties. Generally, a home study includes:
- Family background, statements, and references
- Education and employment
- Relationships and social life
- Daily life routines
- Parenting experiences
- Details about your home and neighborhood
- Readiness and reasons about your wanting to adopt
- Approval and recommendation of children your family can best parent
The home study process, which can take between three to six months to complete, may seem invasive or lengthy. However, just remember more often than not, agencies are looking for ways to rule families in rather than rule them out. The home study is simply conducted to help you, and your agency, decide if adoption or foster care is right for you, and the type of child who will be the best match for your family.
If you have questions or concerns about the home study process, watch this short video by the Children's Action Network answering basic questions about completing a home study.
Child Welfare Information Gateway also has two resources that can help you:
- Answers to common concerns about completing a home study
- A fact sheet called Home Study Requirements for Prospective Parents in Domestic Adoption that summarizes State laws and policies regarding what information is collected
If these two resources and the video above do not answer your questions, you can always contact us.
What You Need to Do
- Get Agreement Among Your Family to Proceed
- Be Prepared for Any Associated Home Study Costs
- Cooperate With Home Visits and Requests for Information
Ready to take the next step?
Typically, the above steps conclude with a written home study report that reflects your caseworker's findings and is the final step for getting approved to adopt.
Get Agreement Among Your Family to Proceed
Interviews done in association with the home study will be a self-reflective process where you may learn things about yourself and the dynamics of your family. Both joint and individual interviews are often part of the process and may include children who currently live with you or those who live outside the home. It's important that everyone who is a part of your family is ready for this experience, including yourself. If you feel that you or members of your household are not yet ready for a home study, you can ask to delay this step.
Be Prepared for Any Associated
Home Study Costs
Sometimes public agencies may charge an up-front, nominal fee for adoption home studies. However, this fee is often reimbursable after you have adopted a child from foster care.
If you're working with a private agency or certified social worker in a private practice, the cost of an adoption home study can be anywhere between $1,000 to $3,000. This fee sometimes includes additional pre-placement services such as an application fee and required training. Some or all of your out-of-pocket costs may be reimbursable if the services result in the finalized adoption of a child from foster care, so you should keep records and receipts of all of your expenditures. Be sure to discuss any fees thoroughly and ask for information in writing to avoid any misunderstandings.
If you're looking only to foster, it is very unlikely you will be charged a home study fee by a public or private agency unless it's a foster-to-adopt home study, in which case adoption home study fees may apply.
In general, even when you make up-front, out-of-pocket expenditures, most adoptions from foster care are free, and many children in foster care are eligible for ongoing monthly subsidies after they're adopted. If cost is of a concern to you, find out more about post-adoption resources that could be available to you if you adopt a child from foster care.
Cooperate With Home Visits and
Requests for Information
You can help speed up the home study process by ensuring all necessary information is supplied completely and accurately, and that you don't delay filling out paperwork, scheduling medical appointments, or gathering the required documents.
Things to Have Ready or Be Prepared to Get
- Health Report: A physical exam within the past 12 months is required for all prospective parents, and tuberculosis (TB) tests are required for every member of the household. Medical conditions under control such as high blood pressure or diabetes usually don't prevent being approved to foster or adopt. However, a serious health problem that affects life expectancy might. If you have serious health problems, it may be required for you to think through or actually make a legal plan for assuring your adopted child will continue to be cared for in the unfortunate circumstance that you would die before they reach adulthood.
- Criminal Background Check: All adults in the household must complete forms that are sent to child protective services and a State's police check center. Federal Bureau of Investigation fingerprint checks in addition to local police clearances are required under certain circumstances, such as recent relocation to the State where you currently reside. Applicants whose State or federal records indicate they have been convicted of harming children cannot adopt or foster.
- Financial Statement: You will be asked to list the amount of your family's income. Some States may require a copy of an income tax form, a paycheck stub, or a W-2 form. You don't have to be wealthy or own a home to adopt. Even if you receive some type of assistance, you're eligible to adopt as long as you have adequate resources to provide for your family. Financial assistance in the form of subsidies is often available when adopting children with special needs. Find out about post-adoption resources that could be available to you if you adopt a child from foster care.
- Personal References: You will need to supply names, addresses, and phone numbers of three to four individuals who can attest to your experience with children, the stability of your current marriage or domestic partnership and household, and your emotional maturity. Most agencies require that references be people who are not related to you. Good choices might include close friends, an employer, a former teacher, a coworker, a neighbor, or a leader of your faith community.
- Autobiographical Statement: Many adoption agencies will ask each applicant to write an autobiographical statement or story. This is, essentially, the story of your life. It helps your caseworker understand your family better and assists them with writing your home study. Some agencies have workers available to assist you, and most will have a set of questions to guide you in writing your statement.
- Copies of legal documents: You will most likely be asked to provide copies of any applicable marriage licenses, birth certificates, divorce decrees, and other legal documents relevant to your application to foster or adopt. Depending on the agency you work with and the child you want to foster or adopt, this information could be shared with birth parents or others. If you have questions or concerns about the confidentiality of your information, verify with your agency how extensively it will be shared.
For more information about home studies, read Child Welfare Information Gateway's factsheet for families on the home study process or contact us.

MURRAY, Ky. (AP) -- The Murray State Board of Regents has voted not to extend the contract of President Randy Dunn and begin a search for a new president of the southwestern Kentucky school.
The 7-4 vote came Friday afternoon and will bring Dunn's tenure to an end June 30, 2014.
University spokeswoman Catherine Sivills says the board is pushing for a plan to find Dunn's replacement at its May meeting.
The university tapped Dunn as its 11th president in May of 2006 and he took over the job on Dec. 1, 2006. Before arriving at Murray State, Dunn served as the State Superintendent of Education for the Illinois State Board of Education.
In 2012, Dunn interviewed for the presidency of Missouri State University and interviewed to become the next Florida Commissioner of Education.

Which buses to take or which MRT to board?
From: Singapore Transitlink
Your easiest way would be to take the MRT because Chinese Gardens is just two stops away. First take the North-South 'Red' Line from Bukit Batok to Jurong East interchange, and then change over to the East-West 'Green' Line going towards Joo Koon. Chinese Gardens is the next stop after Jurong East, and there's a path leading from the Chinese Gardens MRT station to the actual gardens.
The train station, depending on which part of Bukit Batok you're living, is quite a distance. Bukit Batok is this general area that includes Bukit Gombak as well. Usually, we locals refer to the area around Bukit Gombak MRT Station, Little Guilin and near the Bukit Batok Driving Centre (BBDC in local acronym terms) as Bukit Gombak instead of Bukit Batok. Or for general reference, any road names beginning with Bukit Batok West is generally located within the Bukit Gombak vincinity.
Most of the trunk services (bus services that operate from one terminal to the next) run through Bukit Batok West Avenue 3 and Bukit Batok East Avenue 3 (yes, our naming of roads are not very distinctive). It is the length of road that runs from Bukit Batok Road where there is a Shell Station at the traffic junction, all the way pass Bukit Batok Central (and the Bukit Batok MRT Station) and ends at the Pan-Island Express (which we locals call by its acronym, PIE).
Along this road, you may catch bus service 157. The bus will bring you to Jurong West, where you are to alight and walk a distance to Chinese Garden. It would be easier to take the train, but I have to say that if it's your first time in Singapore you will be able to find coffee shops around the Jurong West area where you can grab a bite after your visit to Chinese Garden.

I am a fan of babywearing, and have tried slings and carriers of all sorts. The FreeHand Mei Tai carrier is, by far, the most lovely of all the choices. It is simple, functional and truly beautiful in design.
This carrier is easy to use for moms and babies of all shapes and sizes (up to 35 pounds for the baby), as it has to be re-tied each time one uses it. This can be a downer, however, if you're trying to tie your baby into the carrier while wrangling anything else. The ties are quite long (out of necessity), and getting it set up and ready can feel a little fussy.
Once my 7-month old baby is in the carrier (which can be used on your front, back or hip), she is relatively happy. She seems to prefer the ring sling, but I know from experience that each baby is different. I like that she is able to sit in the seat rather than hang from her crotch. She is able to see over the panel, and enjoys chewing on the padded straps, but has some difficulty figuring out what to do with her arms.
I made the mistake of using the carrier without referencing the online instructions, (which can be found here), which made my first attempt at loading her into it quite a debacle! But once I read up on how to correctly position her, I became very comfortable carrying her and love keeping her so close to my chest. It took some practice to get the correct tension in the straps so that she wasn't hanging down too low or pulling on my shoulders, but it was worth the effort.
Because this carrier doesn't have snaps or buckles, it is very portable. If your diaper bag is roomy, it should fit nicely. It is also washable, and the patterns and fabrics are gorgeous.
I would recommend this as a carrier that values style over function, but it still gets the job done and is a very useful carrier to have on hand.

Treating Eczema
Q: My five-year-old daughter has eczema. It clears up in the summer, but in the winter it is terrible. She scratches all the time. Her body is all red with oozy patches. So far she is allergic to sulfites. They give her a steroid cream and an antibiotic. This is not working. Any suggestions? She has had this since she was six months.
A: Eczema is a type of reaction of the skin. There are many types of eczema that occur in children, with the allergic type being most common. You are describing "atopic" (allergic) eczema and certainly it can be quite problematic. Usually the acute areas involved are noted to be red, weeping, oozing, and some formation of fluid within the skin. Chronic or older lesions usually are thick, dry, and scaly with different changes in color (pigmentation).
The best treatment is to control the environmental things that irritate the disease, such as avoiding contact with things known to trigger itching and scratching. Garments should be smooth textured cotton, wool should be avoided. It is common in the winter months, particularly when the skin is in contact with woollen objects. As you point out, a warm climate of moderate humidity appears to be optimal for a majority of patients. Sweating can lead to itching and aggravate the disease. Exposure to sunlight and salt water is of benefit. Bathing should be kept to a minimum. You want to try to apply moisturizing creams to the skin to seal water into the skin. If it appears that a food or other ingestant makes itching worse, then the food must be excluded. We usually like to control the itching with an antihistamine, which can be helpful and also give a little sedation, particularly at night. Antibiotics are indicated when we think that it's secondarily infected. When infection is present, antibiotics should be given systemically (by mouth). The steroids help reduce the itching and the inflammation. Small amounts of steroid rubbed in infrequent intervals may get better results than large amounts applied infrequently. Usually, steroids by mouth are not required.
Unfortunately, we are not able to cure eczema, but certainly there are things like those described above that we can do to make her comfortable. You should also understand that recurrence is expected, so don't be surprised. Reasonable control can be achieved with the help of your daughter's physician who can give you a clear understanding of the disease and provide the support for you and your daughter that may make the difference.

I'd like to know how I can create computer imagery of my own models or existing models. How can we do photographic quality or cartoon like images?
In addition to the other answers, the oldschool way using POV (in use before there even WAS a LEGO Digital Designer) still works.
All of the renders on my site, http://miltontrainworks.com, such as this one:
Taken from the MTW-5001-yg listing, were done this way.
You can read more about all the tools mentioned at the LDraw website.
You need:
Digital Designer (Or anything that can produce Ldraw files, there are some listed in this question)
Blender (Or another renderer that supports Ldraw)
Blender Script (This is necessary for Blender to read you Ldraw models)
(I haven't tried but it should work)
Here's a method you'll be able to use with the latest stable version of Blender, without any extra plugins or addons.
Also, if you're just starting out with Blender, you may want to try an under-development, photorealistic renderer called Cycles, as you'll be able to get nice-looking images much more quickly than if you were to use Blender's default internal renderer. From 2.61 onward, Cycles is now another render engine option in all official Blender builds.
You may want to check out this superb introduction to Cycles.
Let me suggest Autodesk 3ds Max software or Autodesk Maya software for achieving this. You can find free bricks and models meshes right here. Additional information on lego visualization can be found on Okino's website.
Here is the example of a rendered still. Doing a manual simply involve making parts of the model visible/invisible and positioning the camera appropriately.
This model was rendered by flickr user bloggerknight using 3ds Max and the VRay renderer

Sometimes I sleep at 11, other times at 2 and 3 or 4. As a result my waking time also keeps varying everyday. Is there any decline in the productivity of a person with these kind of habits?
I have no proof of this other than personal experience, but I find I am much more productive when I follow a regular sleep schedule. After following one for a few weeks, you will find your body telling you when to go to sleep and when to wake up.
Sleep is basically the time the brain relaxes and your thoughts for the day are reviewed. It gets your brain ready for the next day.
Some suggestions to follow are :
Sleep at the same time everyday.
Avoid exciting stuff like games or tv just before sleeping. It will keep you more awake. Avoid energy drinks late in the evening, it will only disturb your routine.
Sleeping at different times each night interrupts your circadian rhythm. Take jetlag for example. Granted, staying up till 2 AM instead of 11PM won't give you jetlag symptoms, but it may cause you to be sleepy throughout the day (personal experience). I think the biggest problem you will face with a random sleep schedule is fatigue on the days in which you stayed up late the night before; which can be a mood and motivation killer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by CHBE from A Huge Disappointment I've owned 20 or so Rockports over 3 decades. Only once have I had a problem with sizing, but this pair of slip-ons was both too narrow and much too small. It's pinched in in the arch area and feels oddly unbalanced. It's a nice looking design and well constructed like almost all Rockports, but it's either a very poor fit or mismarked or both. They've been sent back.

Running Dark (Mass Market Paperbound)
Biochemist and marathon runner Emma Caldridge is halfway through South Africa's Comrades ultra-marathon when a roadside car bomb explodes. When she wakes up, dazed and disoriented, a stranger is injecting her with an unknown substance that leaves her stronger than before. Then the man vanishes.
Emma wants answers, and turns to Edward Banner of the security company Darkview. But Banner's already got his hands full, thanks to the assault on a cruise ship by Somali pirates in the Gulf of Adena ship that carries a weapon, possibly chemical in nature, that he needs Emma to identify. And among the hostages is special agent Cameron Sumnera man to whom Emma owes her life.
Emma knows this assignment is potential suicide. Still, nothing is going to prevent her from getting aboard the captured vessel. And this time, there's nowhere to run . . .

When I was an EMT I lived in a place where there were many Jews in the rescue squad. The local rabbis told us to arrange a rotation which ensured that there was always someone to answer calls but that we didnt have more people than we need.
I would say that Jewish firefighters should try not to be on-call on shabbat but if they need to respond to life threatening emergencies they must.
As far as I know, since Fire-Fighting is all about rescuing lives (~ Pikuach Nefesh, פיקוח נפש) then it has priority over all other Mitzvas.

Where I can find photos of nuclear explosions just after detonation (before 5-10 ms, the shorter the better)?
Never underestimate the power of googling.
I googled "high speed nuclear explosion photos" and got a large number of them. Here is one:
p.s. I should have remembered one frame cameras, since I had been using "gun cameras" from WWII to get images of cosmic rays in spark chambers by triggering, back in 1967.
The picture below shows an explosion after about 1 ms. (source) It's called the "rope trick" image, because the explosion is taking place at the top of a tower and the spikes at the bottom are ropes being vaporised by the radiation travelling out from the explosion.
I found it by searching Wikimedia Commons for "nuclear detonation" and then scrolling down until I saw it, because I've seen the image before and knew what it looked like.
There is also the following photo (source), which is of a different explosion, taken after 16 ms:
I haven't seen many other pictures like this, so I suspect these are among the very few in existence.

Indigo November colors tradition
|An indigo bunting. Contributed
I guess a lot of things turn on those two topics, but in the world of birds its all a matter of a pretty mundane consideration, plumage.
Adult males sport the deep blue that gives the species its name. They're covered head to tail in rich, iridescent indgo blue.
Females and immatures offer little hint of relationship to the fancy males. They're the same size and shape, but aside from an occasional touch of bluish tone here and there, they're are essentially drab brown birds with minimal markings.
The subject of indigo buntings wouldn't normally come up in November, but times are changing in the world of birds. Migrants lingering late in fall or arriving early in spring have become a regular seasonal theme. That's why Johhn Oshlick, a birding friend, got word to me on Monday that he'd found a brown bunting at Fort Hale Park in New Haven.
I was close by, doing my final Monday hawk watch session of the autumn season at Lighthouse Point Park. As expected on a late November day with southwest winds, not much was happening. I'd seen one northern harrier in four hours.
A quick ride to Fort Hale was a welcome diversion, and before long I was looking at the bunting in John's telescope.
John wanted to be sure about the species involved. When birds appear out of season (and for an indigo this was more than a month late) the possibility of a rarer-look alike is worth coinsidering.
In this case the canddiate would be a western species, the lazuli bunting. The males of indigo and lazuli are unmistakeable, but immatures and females can be quite similar.
Fortunaetly, this bird was very cooperative. We were able to study it in detail in good light, concluding eventually that it was in fact an indigo bunting.
They're common enough May to September, but in late November they move well onto the rarity scale.

French people
From Wikiquote
(Redirected from French People)
French people can refer to:
- The legal residents and citizens of France, regardless of ancestry.
- People whose ancestors lived in France or the area that later became France.
- The French are a cross-bred people; there is no such thing as a French race or a French type.
- Charles Seignobos, A History of the French People (1934), Read Books, 2006, p. 33
- Alas, there is no French race, but a French people, a French nation, that is to say, a politically formed collectivity.
- Maurice Barrès, Scènes et doctrines du nationalisme, Volume 1, Plon-Nourrit, 1925, p. 85
- The French people — there is no French race — is an amalgamation of practically all the tribes that have surged across Europe. It is a comparatively modern people formed by the fusion of numerous and diverse ethnic elements.
- Charles Kay Ogden, Psyche: An Annual General and Linguistic Psychology 1920-1952, Routledge, 1995, p. 88
- The French people were born of a Christian mother and an unknown father... I say unknown father because France is a nation of immigrants and always has been.
- Andre Frossard , quoted by Patrick Marnham in Crime and the Académie Française: dispatches from Paris, Viking, 1993, p. 28
- There is no such thing as an "ethnic" French person. No matter how far back you trace the country's evolution, it's impossible to establish a shared ethnicity across France, and the nearer you get to the present, the more mixed it becomes. France is a hotch poth...The people you meet in France are really descendants of all the tribes and races that ever invaded France, and all the immigrants that ever flocked there from other countries. In present day France, one-third of the population has grandparents that were born outside of France...It is not a race, or a myth of common origin, that binds the French. The French are French because of the culture they share.
- Jean-Benoît Nadeau and Julie Barlow Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't be Wrong: What makes the French so French, Robson Books Ltd, 2004, p. 8
- While race has played a fundamental role in the development of the American nation, it is possible to argue that the French nation has been denned, at least in part, against racial thinking. Instead, culture, understood as a shared worldview and common customs, has come to dominate not only French self-definitions, but also French views of the rest of the world. While race has not been entirely absent from French thinking about difference, competing notions of what constitutes French culture and about who can participate in the community denned by that culture have played far more significant roles than ideas about race in debates about French identity.
- Herrick Chapman and Laura Levine Frader, Race in France: interdisciplinary perspectives on the politics of difference, Berghahn Books, 2004, p. 119
- There is no French race. There is a French people made up mostly of invaders and immigrants who have become one through several thousand years of living together, fighting together, and creating together a culture, a way of life, a civilization on the same land.
- Here is France, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1969, p. 40
- Since there is no French race, the French race cannot die. France will have the population she can feed; the French spirit will have the heirs it can win. The French population is not a matter of biology, but of economics and ideology.
- Albert Guerard, France - A Short History (1946), Read Books, 2007, p. 44
- There is no French race, for the inhabitants of France have derived their genes from three somewhat distinct sources.
- Aaron Franklin Shull, Heredity (1938), McGraw-Hill book company, inc., 1938, p. 337
- There is no French race, no French type; there is a common cultural, historical heritage that is uniquely French— but France is hybrid, whose seeds come from Asia, Africa, Europe.
- Baldoon Dhingra, Search for roots: lectures and talks, Publication Bureau, Panjab University, 1977, p. 40
Genetic studies[edit]
- The southern French people are more or less isolated from the other western European populations. They are in an intermediate position between the North Africans (Algerians from Algiers and Oran; Tunisians) and the western Europeans populations (France, Spain, and Portugal) (...) These results cannot be attributed to recent events because of the knowledge of the grandparents' origin in our sample (...) This study reveals that the southern French population from Marseilles is related genetically to the southwestern Europeans and North Africans, who are geographically close. A substantial gene flow has thus probably been present among the populations of these neighboring areas.

Ok I know there has been many posts, but none really answer my question.
So, I am using the book "Maximum Lego NXT: Building Robots With Java Brains". It says "1. Reset by pressing the reset blah blah blah. 2. The NXT brick should make a soft pulsing sound blah blah blah." It is making the pulsing sound. "2. Plug in your USB cable and type "lejosfirmdl" without the quotes." Ok it never told me where to type this, but I looked online and found to type it in CMD. I type it in and on the CMD I get
'lejosfirmdl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I get that sentence and I don't know what to do. Obiviously I am using the Lego Mindstorms NXT and I have Windows XP. I don't know what I should do now, I can't figure out what to do.
Thanks everyone for any help.

Sunday's letters: Animal cruelty
Published: Sunday, December 15, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 13, 2013 at 4:41 p.m.
To the editor: Because of the language of the animal enforcement law, our animal control officers of Henderson County cannot cite owners for being cruel to their animals left out in the cold or underfed and watered. Case in point: Neighbor's dog, female, about 3 years old, considered to be an outside dog (by the owner), is constantly being left outside in frigid weather (below freezing), underfed, no water for days, and no companionship at all.
I have contacted animal control, which states that it can't do anything about it. To me, that's animal cruelty; however, to the animal control officers, it's "Well, there's nothing I can do." No wonder so many animals are in need of help when our own county can't or won't do anything. I've even offered to rescue the dog but was told by the officers that I could be arrested for comforting the dog.
No justice here, and the dog is still suffering.
John D. Heine Jr.
Retired USAF dog trainer,
No guarantees
To the editor: Linda Miller's letter in defense of tenure does not make a convincing argument to retain this anachronistic policy.
All of her reasons for keeping tenure apply equally to everyone else in the workforce. What entitles teachers to special protection the rest of us do not enjoy? Are they so weak and ineffectual that they cannot fend for themselves? Everyone else must do a good job and trust that his or her work will add value and ensure continued employment. Why should teachers not have to do the same? In addition to the protection of tenure, they enjoy opportunities for sabbaticals, which are also not an option for the rest of us.
Just because they always dreamed of being a teacher and spent years on higher education to do so doesn't mean they are guaranteed a lifetime of work in that field. None of us are guaranteed work in our field of endeavor. If teacher pay is too low and work too stressful, take another job. If they like working with children and are good at it, they need to do so using the same rules as the rest of us.
No tenure or special protection — just old-fashioned hard work with results.
Bill Cumming
Time to fix it
To the editor: Health care: Easy to criticize, harder to fix. (A): "I'm happy, to heck with you." (B) "Everyone gets everything and someone else pays."
Some other ideas:
1. Medicare Plus: Everyone pays over their working lives to cover medical costs. (Everyone eventually gets sick.) Every worker pays regardless of income. If you make $10,000 a year, you pay the same percentage as the person who makes $10 million a year. (No limit/every kind of income.)
2. Modified (cost-effective) Medicare: Plan covers "basic care" only. No heart/liver transplants, etc. If you can afford better, faster, more extensive care, you pay for it. Maybe some exceptions for children. Rationed care? Isn't everything really?
3. Japan plan: Private insurance with government price controls.
4. Government pays for medical school. The doctor/nurse works the debt off.
5. Pass tort reform. Reduce fraud.
6. Always have co-pays. Base deductions/limits on income.
We already subsidize the under/uninsured indirectly. Health care is not a "luxury" any longer. If your child needs medical care, you don't wait until the next paycheck or after a year of saving. Neither can society afford for everyone to receive a heart or liver transplant. Folks, we need to fix this. The ACA is not the answer.

The Myth of the Genius Designer
Summary: Having a good designer doesn't eliminate the need for a systematic usability process. Risk reduction and quality improvement both require user testing and other usability methods.
I often hear the following argument against usability: Just hire a great designer, and you don't have to worry about that pesky user testing. After all, a great designer will create a great design, and that's all you need.
The most common example given is Steve Jobs. Granted, Jobs has been in charge of some great products. He's also produced many duds as well, the most famous being the NeXT machine and the Mac Cube. Even the Macintosh was very nearly a failure, being saved in the nick of time by Adobe and the advent of desktop publishing. (And, of course, the Mac's usability is more properly credited to Jef Raskin and Larry Tesler's user studies in the Lisa group than to Jobs himself.)
In any case, Steve Jobs is a design manager, not a designer. Having top executives who understand interaction design and care about user experience quality is indeed a boon. The willingness to delay or cancel a project because of bad UI is rare in the technology business, but it's necessary if a company wants to build a reputation for good products.
Turning to actual designers, it's certainly true that you're better off hiring a good designer over a bad one. Likewise, a good usability specialist is better than a bad usability specialist, a good programmer is better than a bad programmer, a good writer is better than a bad writer, and a good marketing manager is better than a bad marketing manager.
In all the various disciplines that come together to create a successful interface design, you should hire the best staff you can get.
The Limits of Genius Design
The real question is not whether you should use a good designer, but whether using a good designer eliminates the need for a good usability person. It doesn't.
It's wrong to rely solely on a "genius designer" for several reasons:
- You must run your project with the team you actually have, not the team you wish you had. In most companies, you won't find one of the world's top 100 interaction designers waiting around to work on your project.
- Design is an inexact science; even if you have a superb designer, not all of his or her ideas will be equally great. It's only prudent to reduce risk and subject design ideas to a reality check by user testing them with actual customers. (Remember, new ideas can be tested at low cost through techniques like agile paper prototypes.)
- How do designers get to be good in the first place? By learning which of their ideas work and which don't. This feedback requires empirical data, which usability testing provides.
- Even the best designers produce successful products only if their designs solve the right problems. A wonderful interface to the wrong features will fail. And how can designers find out what customers need? Through user research.
- Nobody's perfect. Even a very good design can be improved when you follow an iterative process of continuous quality improvements. For each step of the design, you should conduct a usability evaluation (testing or guideline review), and use the resulting insights as the step-climbing metric to drive your user experience to the next level of quality.
Several decades' experience with quality assurance says that the best results come from following a systematic quality process, including reality checks every step of the way, rather than simply hoping that you got it right.
Best Principles and Practices
As an analogy, consider accounting. As with designers, it's better to have a good accountant than a bad one. But in either case, your accountant should follow GAAP (the generally accepted accounting principles, published by The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants). Best practices exist for a reason, and your risk of failing a tax audit is dramatically reduced when your accountant doesn't just make things up on the fly.
Similarly, user experience and website success benefit from following best practices in the form of documented usability guidelines, as opposed to making up your own, inconsistent UI.
The difference between design and accounting is that under rare circumstances you can get a better design by deviating from the generally accepted usability principles. But how do you know whether your case is indeed one of those rare exceptions? You could guess. But it's much safer to run a study to find out for sure.
To summarize:
- For a good starting point, get a good designer.
- To reduce risk, ensure that your designer works from usability data, rather than guesses.
- To improve quality, use iterative design and polish each round through usability evaluation.

What is the symbol for uniform distribution in LaTeX? I'm assuming that it is this symbol? Or should I just use a simple U?
There is no standard symbol for a uniform distribution. (The page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_distribution_%28continuous%29 mentions "U" in italic in text but an image of a calligraphic "U" in summary table; this is inconsistent and non-authoritative.)
So you can use whatever symbol you prefer, preferably following normal conventions for using symbols. Using "U" in italics is certainly acceptable.

I have entered a sprint triathlon on a whim and have a 29er mountain bike. Is there a road suitable tire for a 29x2.25 wheel out there? Looking for something that will give me good roll and as little resistance for my 110kg as possible.

Yes, there are tires out there that are smooth and will fit that rim.
You'll probably find that tires marketed for comfort hybrids, cruisers, touring or "urban/trail" bikes are were you'll find a big enough smooth tire.
Schwalbe makes the Super Moto in 60-622, which is specifically marketed as a competition-appropriate smooth tire for a 29er.
If you're willing to spend a lot more, consider replacing the wheels with Cyclocross wheels, some other 622mm wheel with a slightly narrower rim than a 29er usually comes with. That would allow you to get into the wide end of regular road tires where there's a ton more choices made for competition on paved surfaces.
Note: smaller tires will change the handling and lower the bottom bracket closer to the ground, so don't get too crazy.
Of course. 29 inches is the same rim size as 700c, so there are plenty of tires out there.
For maximum speed, you want the narrowest tire that you can safely get on there. Take off your tire and measure the inner rim width. Refer to the chart at the bottom of this page to see which tire widths would be suitable.

Is it with their left hand, using its thumb to tap UI elements? Or do they use their right hand like right-handed people? Is there any research into this matter with published numbers?
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
I got inspired, did some digging in my search engine of choice and found a very recent study by Henry Ford Hospital (published in February 2012) that gives a more or less clear answer on the debate:
People hold phones in the hand that is opposite to the dominant side of the brain (where speech & hearing centers are located).
This means that the majority (70%) of right-handed people do indeed hold it with their right hand and left-handed people with their left hand because their speech centers are in the left and right hemispheres respectively.
However, there're still 30% of people who use the non-dominant hand for phones (like me) and people who are supposedly ambidextrous.
I am left handed, and I do use my thumb to tap UI elements wile holding a smartphone in my right hand.
It seems as though left handed people tend to hold a smartphone with their right hand, as holding a smartphone does not require a lot of dexterity. Also, smartphones are usually optimized for right handed people, as the majority of humans are, in fact, right handed.
However, it all comes down to a person's preference. For example, it's like with computer mice - most left handed people will use their right hand to control the mouse, because almost all mice are ergonomically designed to fit someones right hand. Now, computer mice are being created for left handed people to use, but are not very popular because most of us lefties have grown up moving the mouse with our right hand and typing with our left hand. If I had to type with my right hand and move the mouse with my left hand, I wouldn't be nearly as efficient. It would be like learning to use a computer all over again.

I have read various articles that promote breast milk as a cure for many infant problems like diaper rash, red eye, sores and mother problems like sore nipples , injuries etc. What is the scientific evidence for such use of breast milk , wouldn't it become a breeding ground for bacteria if applied to skin for a diaper rash? Have any parents used it in that way , what are their experiences , does it work?
There are lots of links to studies showing the beneficial uses of breastmilk here:
In particular, it does not "become a breeding ground for bacteria" due to its natural antimicrobial properties.
Breast milk serves the only good purpose as a source of nutrition and immunological defense for babies.
In my experience, as a mother, the best way to avoid diaper rash, is to change nappies regularly and give babies and toddlers time without diapers, as frequently as practical. Regular baths, without strong soaps, and the purest and mildest of products. A baby should never be allowed to sit in a soiled diaper, as this will cause reddening of the skin immediately.
A breast fed baby is, supposedly, likely to have less allergies and have stronger protection from illness. Provided they ingest the milk via the mouth only.
New mothers, first time breast feeding, almost universally, in the Developed world, suffer sore nipples. Our breasts are swaddled in bras and protected from the ordinary chaffing that toughens nipples and reduces their sensitivity to a suckling newborn. The good news is, this passes and many women continue to have good breast feeding experiences without the application of breast milk to alleviate sore nipples.
Any substance with sugar and protein left in a moist environment becomes a, potential breeding ground for bacteria.
As for infections, red eye, sores, breast feeding aids immune defence, but good hygiene practices and keeping babies from high risk source of infections is a better way to deal with these problems, than a squirt of breastmilk in the eye. I'd recommend medical advice for any of these.

Tonight in the Nashville suburb of Franklin, Tenn., Tim McGraw will hold the premiere of his major motion picture debut, "Friday Night Lights," which opens nationally this Friday. Tim plays the part of Charlie Billingsley, an alcoholic father of a high school quarterback in Odessa, Tx. Tim tells The Odessa American that the role came easily to him. "I didn't have to work to get into Charlie's skin. I like to think he's so different than me. It was easy just to shut me off and not let me get in the way. If he'd been more like me, it would have been harder to get into it. I'd have gotten in the way of it." Also expected on the red carpet at tonight's premiere are Tim's wife, Faith Hill, and Big & Rich, Kix Brooks, Kenny Chesney, Martina McBride, Troy Gentry, the Warren Brothers, plus members of the Tennessee Titans football team.
