Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Georgians curious about the differences between legitimate dove field preparation and illegal baiting should read "Dove Hunting and Agricultural Practices in Georgia," available at www.gohuntgeorgia.com [1] .
Baiting is the illegal practice of intentionally luring doves to a field by placing grain or feed. Federal and state laws prohibit hunting migratory game birds over such areas.
"The key to hunting doves legally in Georgia is to understand the difference between 'baiting' and 'recommended agricultural practices,'" says Wildlife Resources Division Chief of Law Enforcement Col. Eddie Henderson. "Agricultural lands can provide excellent dove hunting opportunities, but hunters need to make sure that the fields they are hunting over have been prepared in a manner consistent with official agricultural recommendations relative to planting dates, planting methods and rates of application."
The brochure explains the legalities of dove fields, provides strategies for legally attracting doves, answers common questions and contains additional information for dove hunters.
Designed by the Wildlife Resources Division in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the University of Georgia's Cooperative Extension Service, the brochure is available on the Wildlife Resources Divisions website at www.gohuntgeorgia.com/hunting/game-management [2] . For more information, call (770) 918-6416.

We can localise cancer cells in the body. We can manufacture materials thin and hard enough to penetrate the body without harming it. So what stops us from creating an automated surgery where the patient lies down for some time whilst a machine locates cancerous cells and, using micro tubes, kills them one by one?
Actually we aren't that good at localizing cancer cells. There need to be around 100,000 cancer cells at a single location for the cancer to be visible on fMRI.
If you want to treat a cancer via chemotherapy it's good to be able to see the cancer. It allows you to see whether the drug you are giving works.
When dealing with a metastasized cancer where you don't think you know every location in which cancer is hiding it therefore often makes sense to avoid to take out everything you can see via surgery.
I'm assuming you are not talking about a single solid tumor, but rather one where the tumor is loose and is distributed throughout the tissue, or has metastasized
I guess the answer is you could, but it would be one amazing machine. This robot would have to examine each individual cell and destroy it based on what you could sense about the surface properties. Identifying cancer cells on the basis of the proteins and glycosyl (carbohydrate) molecules on the cell surface is not embodied in a reliable way in a touch sensor. Cancer can manifest lots of such patterns and it could quite easily be that if you looked at healthy cells, they look very similar. Cancer cells don't have an obvious sign they are always holding out saying 'im cancer'...
Then there is the structure of tumors. For instance glioma is one of the most difficult brain cancers you can have. The glioma cells push out axons - they can be quite long. Its hard to imagine a robot that could find that in a brain without tearing up all the neural connections. In prostate cancers - one of the most common cancers in men, the cells are embedded in the tissue surrounded by necessary and healthy cells.
This is why chemicals and nano structures are the most commonly pursued means of combating cancer; they can enter into cells that are embedded in solid organs. Differentiating the cancer cells from other sorts of cells in vivo is a pretty hard problem - some antibodies are given as a possible help there, but they are not reliable.
This blog post is a pretty up to date summary of where we are
It's not a question of materials. After all, we have the materials to build flying cars – so why are there no flying cars? The problem is reliably locating, recognising and selectively killing tumour cells.
"one by one" … for billions of cells? Even ignoring all the other technical problems already alluded to in other answers, this is simply a problem of insurmountable scale. In order to do this efficiently we'd need in the order of millions tiny robots.
Either way, creating appropriate robots isn't something we can do today, and even if we can someday do it, it will be easier (and much, much cheaper) to just bio-engineer a bacterium which detects and kills tumour cells. While neither nanobots nor bio-engineered cancer killers are reality today, the bio-engineering approach is much easier, and much closer to realisation than the nanobot approach.

Are converts expected to be more observant than the community they are joining? For example, if most married women in a community don't don a wig or head scarf, would this be acceptable behaviour for the convert as well? If a convert was super-observant during the conversion process and then after their conversion gradually became as relaxed as the other members of the community in terms of observance, would their conversion be invalidated? I guess the gist of my question is, is a convert expect to assimilate to the community they are joining, or are they expected to be super super observant, even if this means exceeding the norms of that community?

It's not surprising that if someone's lifestyle is being evaluated, that a higher standard is expected. This has been frustrating for many a convert (as well as born Jews who've affiliated with a more-observant lifestyle).
In theory, conversion is instant and irreversible. One second before converting, the would-be convert could eat pork all s/he likes. One second afterwards (if we magically knew the convert was totally sincere at the time of commitment), there could be all the regret in the world, still, no pork allowed. A rabbi could meet conversion-candidate "John", who is 100% absolutely sincere about committing to keeping kosher. But given how unstable John's lifestyle is (e.g. he lives on a college campus with no kosher meal plan and zero other Jews in a hundred-mile radius), John is likely to stop keeping kosher soon. If so, the rabbi may not want to convert John as he'll just be causing him to sin.
Rabbi Moshe Feinstein ruled that conversion requires "sincere intent to observe all the commandments", with the caveat "as best the candidate understands it at the moment." Someone asked him -- "when I converted, somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that if I was threatened with being fired rather than work on Jewish holidays, I probably would have gone into work that day" -- well, people make serious commitments all the time that are tested -- Rabbi Feinstein ruled that conversion was still valid.
Similarly, regarding an individual who recently converted in a Sabbath-observant community where married women don't usually cover their hair (outside of synagogue) and many lay people eat fish-baked-in-foil at non-kosher restaurants (I do not condone this practice), Rabbi Aaron Rakeffet-Rothkoff commented that her conversion was valid even if she did likewise, as she accepted Judaism to the best of her understanding -- and her understanding was based on what she saw her Jewish colleagues doing.
Lastly, the Talmud says that converts can make things difficult on born-Jews, with one explanation being that the sincerity of their practice puts "the mainstream" to shame!
As a convert myself, I can tell you that the newby convert not only seeks acceptance, but worries about rejection; some more than others. As a result, it is a natural tendency to err to the strict side. I would add that converts of color and others whose physical characteristics makes it impossible to "pass," tend to be even more strict in their observance and dress. This tendency long precedes my experience and is recognized in the Talmud. There is a Gemara, Pesachim 91b, which banned a group consisting only of converts from bringing their own Passover offering. The idea there was that a group of converts only would be extra-strict and might mistakenly find a defect in a perfectly good offering. (But see Tosafos at Pesachim 91b Who points to other views that converts are less stringent.) There are numerous comments, as well, on Rabbi Chelbo's comment that converts are like a "scab," some interpreting this to mean that converts can be so strict that it can be embarrassing for Jews from birth. See Tosafos to Kiddushin 70b who quotes R' Avraham the Ger who said that because converts are more meticulous than born Jews, they underscore the shortcomings of born Jews.
In a review class about conversion, Rabbi Daniel Stein said that a conversion is invalid if the convert did not intend to accept all the commandments. Figuring out from later behavior what constitutes a failure of intent to accept, as opposed to later sinning is difficult. He suggests there that activities within 30 days may be grounds for invalidation of a conversion. He also says that there is no requirement that they think they will never sin. So if a convert speaks some lashon hara (presumably even within 30 days) that does not invalidate the conversion.
Applying this to the case discussed by the questioner: If a convert says, "I have no intent of covering my hair when married." that would be an invalid conversion. If on the other hand after a significant period if she stops covering her hair due to social pressure, or even if she never covers her hair, assuming she doesn't marry until some time after conversion, she might be a sinner, but she is still Jewish.

Is there any way to restore it in Ubuntu?
Here is how I would proceed.
If you want to try to manually recover, boot the ubuntu live CD and update everything
You then mount your ubuntu partition at
You can the copy /etc to
You will then need to manually edit
The format should be easy enough to understand from existing entries, but if not ask. Make sure your user is in the admin group.
Add in your user to those files ^^
Then chroot
And set your user password
You also need to update
reboot and hope it works.
If not, boot the live CD and back up your data to a flash driver or alternate partition and re-install.
Best of luck
Restore from backup, or reinstall. If you reinstall, use manual partitioning, and do not check the format box and your personal data should remain intact. More recent releases also have the option to reinstall/replace the existing install, without formatting. This is easier to use than manual partitioning.
Restoring files from ext4 is not really easy :-/
You could start from the Live CD and copy all the files from there into your /etc directory. But I fear that will not work.
A clean install should give you better results in less time, but everything will be lost. Personal data has to be backed up before!
You can get a list of all installed packages with
and you can reinstall packages with
With those two commands one could build one command which reinstalls all installed packages. This could help. However, I do not have the time now, to create this command for you. If someone has time - please just edit this posting.

WACO (November 5, 2012)- It's been gone for about four years, but a new and improved Brazos Queen II is expected to travel the Brazos again.
The Waco city council is expected to authorize City Manger Larry Groth to create an agreement with Brazos Queen II, LLC that allows the group of investors to build a riverboat and floating docking facilities for the new attraction.
The project will include a sound stage and restaurant and is expected to provide a taxi service for tourists along the Brazos River.
The agreement will cover a 25 year period where the city will lease an area along the banks of the river where a previous riverboat docked near I -35 and the 400 block of University Parks Drive.
During the first two years, the operator of the vessel will pay the city of Waco $500 per month.
Years three through ten, the city stands to gain a $1,000 dollar monthly fee.
After that, the city and the investment group will negotiate a new fee price.
You may remember the Brazos Belle, formerly known as the Brazos Queen II, adorned the river in Waco some years ago.
While permanently docked in mid 2006, the boat sat still after water levels drop.
Then in 2007, a massive flood damaged the boat beyond repair.
Many Waco residents recall the old boat becoming an eyesore along the banks of the river.
Then in 2008, it was sold for scrap metal.
Many residents say they are looking forward to this added attraction.
Just in time for the Baylor football stadium project, the new Brazos Queen II is expected to be one of many ventures that will help reshape Waco's downtown area and the city's portion along the I-35 corridor.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE A litter deputy will begin patrolling the county to combat the rise in careless dumping in the area.
A grant of $60,000 through the J.B. Green Team will cover cost of the position and a vehicle, most likely a pickup truck, to patrol the county.
Sheriff David Lucas said no one specific has yet been selected for the position. The deputy will work with J.B Green Team, the township trustees, county commissioners and other agencies. As well as cleanup, the deputy's duties will include investigation of litter, enforcing litter laws and arresting violators.
"He'll investigate, and if he's able to find out who it is, he'll charge them," Lucas said.
Lucas noted the increasing problem of littering and careless dumping in the county.
"It's out of hand," he said. "We're finding sofas, lounge chairs, household furniture just dumped on the side of the road. It's a very bad problem."
He added that often people without access to a convenient landfill or pickup truck will carelessly dispose of their household waste. In other cases, private and small businesses will simply discard refuse building material rather than have it disposed of.
Commissioner Matt Coffland suggested then when residents hire a contractor and refuse is hauled away, the residents ask the contractor for a receipt for the landfill.
"There are a few contractors that are causing problems in the county," Coffland said, adding that the residents doing the hiring can be held accountable if refuse is disposed improperly.
"Being a property owner, it's your material," said Lucas. "Bottom line: don't litter. Legally dispose of your garbage and waste where it belongs."
Coffland added that the money is appropriated and ready and the patrol will launch as soon as paperwork is in order.
In addition, the sheriff's office will work with the communities and other agencies and the courts in several ways, including the possibility of utilizing individuals with community service obligations.

The dad from a friend of mine photographs bird feathers for hobby. He has about 6000 of them. I've been asked to find him an easy to use gallery, which should allow some kind of batch processing as it's a lot of photos. I've started off on Gallery2, but we're not on speaking terms anymore; what a piece of shit.
Any suggestion of building a gallery in Wordpress? Key features: folders, batch processing.

Our students must have more than knowledge of global cultures – they must have experience with them. We send students and faculty to diverse regions worldwide for study and service learning. We bridge the borders between Bucknell and global society through telepresence technology and distinguished visiting scholars. We are connecting what our students learn on campus to new, substantive study experiences for them around the globe.
But our vision is to transform Bucknell into a place where undergraduate and global education are indistinguishable. The success of this initiative will make Bucknell a truly global institution – a portal through which our students engage the world, and a magnet for students, scholars and research and program partners from every destination.
Educating our students on all continents
With new investments, we can distinguish a Bucknell education by giving most of our engineering and management students global experiences, opening up possibilities already available to their classmates in other disciplines and supporting faculty projects that give these students global experiences both on and off campus.
Bucknell programs in Washington, D.C., and New York City
Bucknell is ideally suited to develop semester programs in two of the most globally connected cities in the world: Washington, D.C., and New York City. Both are only three hours away from campus and have significant alumni communities.
With endowment and other funding, we can design in each city a premier academic and internship experience that prepares students for careers and leadership and provides firsthand exposure to foreign policy, world affairs, international development, arts, culture, media and global economics.
Endowing student projects of international reach
From the Bucknell Brigade to our dance program's voyage to China to an engineering project that brought fresh water for the first time to a community in Nicaragua, our students and faculty engage meaningfully with the wider world.
With donor support, such projects will become widespread. We can give all engineering majors access to senior design projects around the world, help art students collaborate with artists on other continents, and create new service projects where the impact, and the learning, can make the most difference.

Officials: Fires at North Lakeland Wal-Mart Deliberately Set
Published: Tuesday, December 3, 2013 at 11:13 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 4, 2013 at 11:40 a.m.
LAKELAND | Four small fires extinguished by Lakeland firefighters in the Wal-Mart store in North Lakeland Monday night were deliberately set, fire officials said today.
A boy has been identified as a suspect in the setting of the fires, fire officials said in a press release. The suspect has not been captured and fire investigators are gathering more information that may lead to his arrest.
Firefighters were called to the Wal-Mart at 5800 U.S. 98 N. about 5:15 p.m. Monday after receiving a report of multiple fires inside the store.
The fires were set in multiple sections of the store, both front and back. Store employees partially extinguished them. When firefighters arrived, they cleared the store of shoppers and finished extinguishing the fires.
Damage from the four fires is valued at approximately $2,000 in merchandise, clean up, and disruption of regular business, LFD officials said.
No one was injured and the store remains open to the public. However, the affected areas inside the store will remain closed to shoppers until the investigation and clean-up are concluded, officials said.
Anyone who witnessed the event or has information about the fires are asked to contact Fire Investigator John McGrath at 863- 205-6694.

I tried the grub rescue disk to see if it recovers and fixes grub but no option to repair grub is available see
Note I tied different setting for my disk controller i.e. RAID and ACHI to no avail and so returned to a standard SATA mode
I can see drives from the grub rescue so disks are viewable dont know about writing to them to fix grub though.
I have read some of the other posts and tried:

While the Powerball jackpot soared to $550 million this week, it was wonderful to see that, among people's dreams for how they'd spend their riches, there was a great outpouring of charitable thoughts. When asked how they'd spend the money if they won, most people had some organization or effort to help others at the top of their list.
Jackpot or not, let's keep that giving attitude going. Sure, you might not be able to cut a check for $1 million or even $1,000, but you don't need to give a large amount to have a large impact. Agencies will tell you that even $5, $10 or $20 can assist with food, clothing, job training, transportation and a host of other items they might need. If you don't have money, perhaps you can give a few moments of your time. Get the kids involved in a service project with which they're able to assist. Perhaps you can dig into your closet and share some of those gently-used items that aren't getting a lot of use in your own wardrobe. Or throw an extra couple cans of soup in your shopping cart on your next trip to the grocery store for a food pantry collection.
They might seem like small acts, but, together, they result in a big jackpot for our organizations and agencies that help those in need. In that respect, we all win.

The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said: "He who fasts Ramadan, due to Iman and hoping for reward (from Allah) then his past sins are forgiven." [al-Bukhari, Muslim] The supplication of the fasting person is answered:
"There are in the month of Ramadan in every day and night those to whom Allah grants freedom from the Fire, and there is for every Muslim an supplication which he can make and will be granted." [al-Bazzaaz, Ahmad, Sahih] Fasting is an expiation for various sins:
Mentioned in the Quran, in verses: 2:196, 4:92, 5:89, 5:95 and 58:3-4. The fasting person will be among the true followers of the prophets and the martyrs:
Amr Ibn Murrah al-Juhaanee r.a.a. said: "A man came to the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what if I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah, and I observe the five daily prayers, and I pay the Zakah, and I fast and stand in prayer in Ramadan, then amongst whom shall I be?' He said: 'Amongst the true followers of the prophets and the martyrs.' " [Ibn Hibbaan, Sahih] Fasting is a shield against one's base desires:
The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) told the youth: "O youths, whoever amongst you is able to marry then let him do so, since it restrains the eyes and protects the private parts, and he who is unable, then let him fast because it is a shield for him." [al-Bukhari, Muslim] Once we realize the greatness of fasting and what achievement it leads to, we must put all our efforts in performing fasting in the best manner possible. And since fasting is worship, it must be done solely for Allah's sake, and no intention is accepted, other than pleasing Allah and seeking His Face with all one's sincerity. Without a correct intention, no deed is of any value in the Hereafter. We Muslims must constantly verify our intentions and consider why we perform fasting. Do we do so merely because it is the practice of our parents and friends, or do we do so because it is part of our tradition, or perhaps because we simply want to conform to our environment in order to avoid any problems? A Muslim who realizes that only that which is with Allah remains, and that He (Swt) is the only One who grants and withholds, would not be of those to which the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) alluded in the Hadith: "On the Day of Judgment, a caller will cry out, 'Whoever performed deed for someone other than Allah may seek his reward from that for which he performed the deed' " [Sahih al-Jami].

Discord Skewed Benghazi Response
Divergent Views, Agency Infighting Slow White House Efforts to Address the Cause of Deadly Strike on Consulate in Libya
WASHINGTON—New details are emerging of discord among federal agencies that has complicated the Obama administration's response to last month's deadly attack on the American consulate in Libya, creating intense political pressure for the White House just weeks ahead of the presidential election.
More than three weeks after the attack on Sept. 11, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents finally reached the scene in Benghazi on Thursday—amid an emerging picture of confusion and competing narratives within the administration and intelligence community about what happened there.
Shifting views within the intelligence community have further complicated the administration's ability to firm up its conclusions about the attack. White House officials were initially aware of intelligence reports that suggested a possible connection to al Qaeda, administration officials said.
But the Office of the Director of National Intelligence discounted those reports in its initial statements about the attack, and the White House stuck to those conclusions, making it appear, at least to the public, like it was behind the curve.
Critics of that response paint a picture of a White House preoccupied with the president's re-election campaign and determined to take the most cautious approach possible. White House officials strongly reject suggestions that politics were at play in its response to the crisis.
On Friday, the administration continued to face criticism that those initial statements were misleading, including comments on Sept. 16 by Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, that the attack was a spontaneous uprising prompted by an inflammatory video.
"Elements of the intelligence community apparently told the administration within hours of the attack that militants connected with al Qaeda were involved, yet Ambassador Rice claims her comments five days later reflected the 'best' and 'current' assessment of the intelligence community," Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz) said Friday. "Either the Obama administration is misleading Congress and the American people, or it is blaming the entire failure on the intelligence community."
U.S. Government Reaction to the Benghazi Attack
For days after the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya, intelligence officials and the Obama administration said it was likely the outgrowth of protests sparked by an anti-Islamic video made in the U.S. Follow some of the administration statements on the Libya attack. Source: WSJ research
Two weeks after the incident, which led to the first killing of a U.S. ambassador in a generation, the administration called it an organized attack by terrorists with links to al Qaeda affiliates or sympathizers.
After the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the U.S. overhauled the way it collects and analyzes intelligence to ensure contrary views are considered and assessments from across the government properly aired.
Among the post-2001 changes was the creation of the DNI to oversee the 16 U.S. spy agencies. The office is responsible for collating agencies' intelligence and reaching a consensus view to present to the president.
The DNI contended with dueling positions after the Benghazi attack. Within 48 hours, some military and intelligence analysts started briefing lawmakers about what they saw as evidence suggesting al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, was involved in the assault.

These analysts pointed to intercepted conversations between militants involved in the attackon the U.S. Consulate and a nearby annex that was used for intelligence programs. The Central Intelligence Agency produced a similar document citing AQIM links.
Other officials, including those at the DNI and FBI, were more cautious about AQIM's involvement, calling the early information inconclusive. At least some of the communications were members of AQIM bragging about their roles after the attack, officials said. One official said such boastfulness is commonplace and isn't proof of involvement.
The DNI presented to the White House its view that the assault grew out of a spontaneous protest over the anti-Islamic video produced by a provocateur in California. DNI analysts then thought that "at best, al Qaeda sympathizers" were involved, playing down communications pointing to AQIM, according to a senior intelligence official.
White House officials were aware of the reports of AQIM communications from the start, according to administration officials, but they relied on the DNI's assessment. Officials said the White House treated those communications as classified.
Based on those early DNI assessments, intelligence agencies developed unclassified talking points, and provided them to members of Congress of both parties, among others. The White House said the information was developed at the request of lawmakers.
On Sept. 14, White House spokesman Jay Carney described the unrest that unfolded across the Middle East, including most notably at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, as a "response to a video that is offensive."
Amb. Rice used CIA talking points, which were updated on Sept. 15, when she was dispatched to appear on a round of news programs on Sunday, Sept. 16, officials said. Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers had been hearing the more aggressive interpretation from intelligence officials—and weighed in with their own assessments, charging the administration had failed to provide sufficient security and missed signs of the impending terrorist attack.
Intelligence that suggested possible al Qaeda involvement also surfaced in comments by other public officials and in news reports, but the administration didn't change its line.
"It's not a matter of the intelligence they were given," Rep. Mike Rogers (R., Mich.), House intelligence committee chairman, said of the administration. "It is a matter of how they interpreted the intelligence."
After the Benghazi attacks, intelligence officials developing the talking points on the incident said they didn't believe the information at the time was sufficient to draw a clear connection to AQIM or any other group, so the talking points didn't specify the involvement of a specific group and instead pointed more generally to extremists.
"In the absence of clear datapoints that determine culpability, it makes sense not to speculate on specific culprits," a U.S. intelligence official said. "If the suggestion is wrong, the resulting circular reporting is likely to reinforce false assumptions."
There were concerns about drawing firmer conclusions before the FBI, which had yet to reach Benghazi, was able to complete its investigation, officials said.
Officials say no evidence has been found yet that AQIM's leadership was directly involved in the attack. Shawn Turner, spokesman for DNI, said "individual shards of information don't always tell the whole story." He added: "The comprehensive assessments we produce are rarely developed overnight."
A senior U.S. official critical of the administration's response said the DNI system was a problem. "The president doesn't have the luxury of waiting three weeks for them to come up with a final assessment," the official said of DNI analysts.
Not until Sept. 19 did an administration official, U.S. Counterterrorism Director Matthew Olson, say that the raid on the Benghazi facilities represented "a terrorist attack" and that U.S. intelligence agencies were investigating possible links to AQIM.
Nine days later, the DNI issued a revised statement "to reflect new information indicating that it was a deliberate and organized terrorist attack carried out by extremists," adding that "some of those involved were linked to groups affiliated with, or sympathetic to al Qaeda."
Disagreements over how to interpret the early intelligence spilled over into disagreements over how to handle the burned, looted and unsecured consulate offices in Benghazi.
The FBI dispatched a team of lab technicians and agents a day after the attack, but they first went to Germany to interview survivors who had been evacuated from Benghazi. What was supposed to be a short stopover in Germany ended up lasting nearly a week because the State Department and the Libyan government were then slow to secure visas for their entry to Libya and the agents arrived in Tripoli after a week, officials said. FBI officials requested access to the crime scene as soon as security conditions permitted, a U.S. law enforcement official said.
In the meantime, news reports showed looters, locals and multiple news crews had easy access to the compound. The scene diminished in value to the investigation as a result, a U.S. law enforcement official said.
The delay securing the site in Benghazi exposed more rifts within the administration. Senior U.S. officials said the State Department's preference was to first try to reach a deal with the Libyans to provide the security. Talks with the Libyans dragged on, stoking frustration within the FBI and Justice Department. It wasn't until late last week that the FBI and the State Department agreed to formally ask Pentagon officials to come up with a plan to secure the site.
White House National Security Adviser Tom Donilon and counterterrorism adviser John Brennan intervened on Sept. 28 to break the impasse between the agencies, according to a senior administration official.
A senior U.S. official critical of the White House's handling of the matter said the White House exercised too little control as the efforts to get the FBI to Benghazi dragged on. "Where was the White House coordination?" another senior U.S. official critical of the response asked.
White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said the White House held several meetings a day to coordinate the response immediately after the attack and continued to closely oversee the effort.
A senior administration official said the State Department urged the Libyans from the start to secure the Benghazi site but it became "rapidly clear that they were either unable or unwilling to do that."
Once it was decided to send the FBI to the site with protection from U.S. military personnel, "the operation needed to be prepared, planned, resourced and we needed permission from the Libyans. All of those steps took some time."
Without the benefit of access to the site, investigators had to rely on intercepted communications and video feeds.
"This thing is going to get solved, but from other stuff we're doing, not from the crime scene," ae U.S. law enforcement official said.
An FBI team finally arrived in Benghazi for the first time on Thursday, for a 12-hour visit, under joint U.S.-Libyan protection.

From a webworks (HTML5) app, using the BB10 platform, I would like a to call a phone number.
Googling yielded these:
- https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/api/blackberry.phone.Phone.Call.html
- https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/api/blackberry.invoke.PhoneArguments.html
They weren't very helpful, as they are essentially blank. (they appear to be stub articles).
How would one do this?
I found this other question on SO, regarding opening a browser: WebWorks: Open Web Browser?
... and in a similar vein, the documentation also appears to be a stub article:
If this method of opening a browser does indeed work:
var args = new blackberry.invoke.BrowserArguments('http://www.blackberry.com');
blackberry.invoke.invoke(blackberry.invoke.APP_BROWSER, args);
... then calling PhoneArguments in the same pattern should be worth a shot:
var args = new blackberry.invoke.PhoneArguments (ARG_1, ARG_2, ...);
blackberry.invoke.invoke(blackberry.invoke.APP_XYZ, args);
However, I cannot guess what
ARG_* and
APP_XYZ should be - any ideas?

Just as the title says. In order to install another ARM based Operating System or to dual boot your phone, do you have to have root access?
I'm currently using a Motorola Atrix, not sure if that matters or not.
Yes. See this method or this one, for example.
As per eldarerathis' comment, these are both for running Ubuntu in a chroot environment.
In theory, probably, no -- https://groups.google.com/d/msg/proot_me/h3rDV8na9kc/4mSCyOsX28UJ!
With the help of proot, which would simulate chroot (otherwise requiring being root).
https://sites.google.com/site/taldewandroid/ is a working implementation of this idea for the OpnWRT distro (not yet Ubuntu though).

What Do Armani, Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss Have in Common? Bangladesh
Nation Known for Cheap Labor Produces Garments for Designer Labels as Well as Discount Chains
Cheap garment-factory labor doesn't always equal cheap clothes.
The availability of low-cost workers has sent mass-market clothing labels of all stripes— H&M, HMB 1.10 % Gap, GPS 2.22 % Wal-Mart, WMT -0.37 % Zara and others—into Bangladesh's $20 billion garment industry.
But designer brands including Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren RL 1.23 % and Hugo Boss BOSS 1.11 % also have outsourced manufacturing to Bangladesh, where worker safety has become a huge issue following several fatal accidents. Indeed, high-end labels often use the same factories as their discount peers.
Giorgio Armani last year received shipment of 21,600 pounds of T-shirts and underwear made in a factory in the port city of Chittagong, according to the shipping records. A nearby factory supplied women's pants to Michael Kors.
Armani said the Italian fashion house produces a "relatively small number of items" in Bangladesh. "The commonly held assumption that all manufacturing conditions there are inadequate is not a fair reflection of the reality of the situation and does that country a disservice," Armani said.
A Michael Kors spokeswoman said it has sourced from Bangladesh "very sparingly."
Fashion's most basic item, the T-shirt, highlights the high-low incongruity.
At shops in London, a Bangladesh-made T-shirt from designer-denim brand G-Star Raw has a price tag of £60 ($91.25)—15 times the £4 Wal-Mart's Asda chain charges for one of its basic men's white Ts, sold under the George label. Bangladesh-made Ts cost £35 at Replay, an Italy-based chain specializing in casual clothes in distressed fabrics. Simple gray printed Tommy Hilfiger Ts cost $39.99 on Amazon.com. AMZN 0.82 %
The array of prices for clothing made in Bangladesh exposes how far-removed a garment's retail price is from its production cost—and how small a sliver goes to the factory that makes it.
Though there are small differences in what goes into a T-shirt, the biggest determinant of its price is its brand name, experts say.
"Brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein or Giorgio Armani have a price point that is higher because the brand has a reputation and that makes a difference," says Ralston Fernandez, senior vice-president for operations at ZXY Apparel Buying Solutions, a Bangladesh buying house that places orders for retailers at local factories.
Retail prices include other costs, such as advertising, rent on the boutique and salaries for the salespeople.
With a T-shirt, at least half of the production cost comes from the raw material, says Bakhtiar Uddin Ahmed, the general manager at Fakir Apparels, a T-shirt factory with clients such as H&M, Primark, Puma and G-Star Raw. Fakir Apparels buys a kilo of Bangladesh cotton for $3.80, enough for four shirts.
Some high-end brands opt for long-fibered Pima cotton, grown in the U.S., because it can survive more washing. A kilo of Pima costs about $5.50, says ZXY's Mr. Fernandez.
Adding in polyester or viscose can help lower the cost. Yet some of the cheapest T-shirts made in Bangladesh are 100% cotton, such as £4 Tesco TSCDY 0.16 % and Wal-Mart items, while the £35 Replay shirt is a blend of cotton and viscose.
After cotton comes the labor. The government in Bangladesh, facing pressure to improve working conditions following a factory collapse two months ago that killed more than 1,100 people, has committed to raising the minimum wage, which is currently $38 a month, a quarter of China's. Doubling it would add about 10 to 12 cents to the cost of making a basic T-shirt, according to Abby Jamal, managing director of ZXY Apparel, the Dhaka-based buying house. Retailers such as H&M have said they would absorb higher labor costs.
To be sure, high-end shirts are more likely to have little extras, and each embellishment adds a few cents to the cost. The pocket on the £60 G-Star Raw T-shirt likely requires two or three more workers in the production line, estimates Mohammad Zulficar Ali, executive director at the Bangladesh office of global buying house Synergies Worldwide.
He also points out the high-quality contrast piping that covers the neck seam, as well as two stamp-sized labels—one in leather—adorning the shirt, and a black price tag attached with a string. "These tags are very expensive tags," he says.
Quality differences are also seen in printing processes. Observing a £6 gray Primark T-shirt with a black Iron Man design, Mr. Ali describes it as "a very cheap rubber print," which could cost 10 to 12 cents apiece to add. The orange print on a $39.99 Hilfiger Denim T-shirt is higher quality and could cost twice that, says Mr. Ali.
Mr. Ali, who didn't source any of the T-shirts, estimated that the Primark shirt cost $1.60 to produce, the Hilfiger shirt $5 and the G-Star Raw pocket tee $6 or a shade more. Primark and G-Star declined to comment on their production costs. Hilfiger didn't respond to requests for comment.
In Bangladesh, high-end labels often end up paying the factory a fraction more for their order than mass-market retailers because they order fewer items. The factories prefer the larger orders, because it makes their production schedules more predictable.
Fakir charges H&M about 20% less for a basic T-shirt with no pocket or special finish than an equivalent G-Star Raw product. "That is mostly due to volume," says Fakir Nafizuzzaman, the factory's director.
It isn't just designer T-shirts made in Bangladesh. Shipping records show Ralph Lauren sources a variety of clothes from there, including polo shirts, lamb's wool sweaters, $35 neon skinny jeans for girls and a $110 quilted child's jacket. Ralph Lauren declined to comment.
Hugo Boss AG said it began sourcing T-shirts and bodywear in the country a year ago because it was facing capacity constraints in its European factories. The German fashion house said it doesn't derive a cost benefit yet because it is investing in its relationships with four factories.
Fakir, which makes 130,000 T-shirts a day in its Narayanganj factory, is moving away from basic T-shirts for H&M to clients like G-Star Raw because it has improved its ability to do better trims and finishes. There is less competition at the higher end, says Mr. Ahmed. However, G-Star said it hasn't placed an order at Fakir since last year.
Factory owners in Bangladesh say their profit margins tend to be the same, regardless of the customer. Mr. Ahmed says Fakir's profit margin doesn't top 2.5%. "Customers are always pushing down costs," he says.
For the seamstress making the T-shirt, wages depend on her skill, and have nothing to do with whether she is sewing a designer or discount label.
A top sewing machine operator may get $100 a month, not counting overtime, while a worker one grade below may earn around $80, says Mr. Fernandez—about enough to buy one of the high-end designer Ts.

In most basic abstract algebra courses, the free group is directly constructed, a process that I find rather unwieldy. An alternate method of characterizing the free group is by means of its universal property: for any function $f:S\to G$, an arbitrary group, there is a function $g:S\to F_{S}$ and a unique homomorphism $\varphi: F_{S}\to G$ such that $f=\varphi g$. Of course, a direct construction of the free group is necessary to show that any group actually satisfies this definition. I was wondering what happened when the definition was dualized. In other words, let $P_{S}$ be the group such that for any function $f:G\to S$, there is a function $g:P_{S}\to S$ and a unique homomorphism $\varphi:G\to P_{S}$ such that $f=g\varphi$. It would seem, in light of Cayley's theorem, that $P_{S}$ is just the set of permutations on $S$, but I'm not sure of this. Does anyone know what $P_{S}$ is?
As has been noted in the comments, your definition of "free group on $S$" is not quite right. The map $g\colon S\to F_S$ is fixed, and is part of the "free group" (that is, the free group on $S$ is the pair $(F_S,g)$, with $g\colon S\to F_S$ a set-theoretic map). The universal property is that for every set map $f\colon S\to G$ into an arbitrary group, there exists a unique homomorphism $\varphi\colon F_S\to G$ such that $g = \varphi f$. But $f$ is not allowed to depend on $g$.
It is not hard to see that no such "cofree group" can exist on sets with more than one element. Suppose that you have a set $S$ with more than one element, and a "cofree group" on $S$, $C_S$, together with a set-theoretic map $f\colon C_S\to S$ such that for every group $G$ and every set-theoretic map $g:G\to S$, there exists a unique homomorphism $\varphi\colon G\to C_S$ such that $f = g\varphi$. Let $a\in S$ be different from $f(e)$; then the map $g\colon G\to S$ with $g(x)=a$ cannot factor through $C_S$.
As for the case $S=\{s_0\}$, uniqueness of $\varphi$ forces $C_S$ to be the trivial group, because both the zero map and the identity on $C_S$ would satisfy the universal property relative to $f$.
The free group construction is the left adjoint of the underlying set functor. In general, left adjoints respect colimits and right adjoints respect limits; that is why the underlying set of a product of groups is the set-theoretic product of the underlying sets (underlying set is the right adjoint, so it respects limits like the product), and why the free group on the disjoint union of two sets is the free product of the free groups on the two sets (disjoint union being the coproduct in $Sets$, free product the coproduct in $Groups$, and coproduct being a colimit). As James Borger notes, if you had a dual of the free group construction, it would be the right adjoint of the underlying set functor and would therefore have to respect colimits. So that the underlying set of a free product of groups would have to be the disjoint union of the underlying sets of the groups. This does not occur, so no such object can exist.
P.S. As has also been pointed out in the comments, the universal property is nice and all, and can prove uniqueness, but in general one needs either very high-power categorical/universal algebraic theorems to deduce existence, or one must actually construct the objects in some way. In the case of free groups, while there are many constructions (e.g., as a "big direct product"; see the reference I'm about to give), it is via words or other equivalent constructions (e.g., the fundamental group of a bouqet of circles) that one can get a better handle of them. But if you like universal constructions (nothing wrong with that!) I recommend taking a look at George Bergman's An Invitation to General Algebra and Universal Constructions. It has three different constructions of the free group in Chapter 2.

Psshh, President Obama is like an "open book," scoffs Carney
posted at 5:41 pm on July 12, 2012 by Erika Johnsen
When I first saw this headline, I immediately assumed that White House press secretary Jay Carney was being sarcastic and having a laugh at his boss's expense. I should have known better.
White House press secretary Jay Carney is asked about President Obama's record on transparency and if he would release his college transcripts at some point. Carney dismisses this request as a "Donald Trump question" and refers the reporter to the campaign for an answer. …
"I think the president's record of unprecedented levels of transparency in the White House is well established," Carney said at today's briefing. "His record as a candidate, both when he ran for the Senate, when he ran for the president in 2008 and now as a candidate for reelection, in terms of transparency, is a sold one and reflects a long tradition being an open book, as I think he described it when he was asked this question not long ago. That's part of the process."
Now hold up just a dang minute, Mr. Carney. President Obama, both as a candidate and as the leader of The Most Transparent Administration Evah, has been a far cry from what any reasonable person would call an "open book" — but way to try and dismiss the question by bringing in the almost universally agreed upon blustering bombast of Donald Trump.
Nevermind that the mainstream media gave candidate Obama a stupendously negligent vetting prior to the 2008 election. The real issue is that transparency, to President Obama, is just another in a long line of broken campaign promises. Funnily enough, I'm going to go ahead and let CNN handle this one.
He promised to publish the White House visitors' log so the public could see who was coming and going all the time. But his administration later came under fire for holding meetings with lobbyists across the street at a townhouse with no visitor records.
Foreman continued by stating that the president "appointed a transparency czar and a year later dropped him, saying the White House attorney can handle that work."
Foreman then turned his attention to a June fundraiser at the home of actress Sarah Jessica Parker. At that event, "the Secret Service parked a dump truck in front of our camera to keep Obama hidden from view."
Those incidents, the veteran CNN journalist observed, have prompted [liberal] publications ranging from the New York Times to the Mother Jones magazine "to sharply criticize the president for being far from the champion of transparency he claims to be."
And what's more, as a candidate this time around, President Obama's demand to have absolute privacy at certain fundraisers, re: by requiring attendees to surrender their cell phones, is unacceptable when he's simultaneously trying to paint Romney as "the most secretive candidate since Richard Nixon." In my opinion, unless you're in your family's personal rooms or hunkered down in a dire moment of significance to national security, sorry buddy, but you are not entitled to privacy. You're the president of the United States, a.k.a. public servant number one. Deal with it.

The 123 hectare size property also has a world-class aquarium, the Two Oceans Aquarium and two museums; namely the Maritime and Chavonnes Battery museums. There are also guided and self-guided historical walking tours which the whole family can enjoy. The Cape Wheel is where you will be able to have an unsurpassed 360° view of the city. For the sports fan, the Springbok Experience Rugby Museum celebrates the history of the Springboks and South African rugby. This museum can be found on Portswood Ridge, outside the croquet lawn.
Entertainment offerings
The outdoor Amphitheatre plays host to music, dance and theatre throughout the year and right next door is the nautical-themed play area for children. And of course, the working harbour is part and parcel of the V&A experience. Not only can you watch tug boats tow large cruise ships in and out of the bay, but there are a number of boat trips regularly available. The ferry that shuttles visitors to Robben Island leaves from Clock Tower Square. If you don't want to miss out on your daily exercise, you will enjoy the variety of cycle rental options on the property, walk or jog on the 2.5 or 5km running route or just go for a relaxing walk on the beachfront board walk.
Restaurants, restaurants and more restaurants
The V&A Waterfront has over 80 eateries so there is bound to be at least one that will serve up something to your liking. The V&A Food Market also has a wide variety of food and dessert options for you to enjoy.
Future developments
Zeitz MOCAA, a new not-for-profit institution, will be housed in the historic Grain Silo complex at the V&A Waterfront, with the V&A committing over R500-million to the development required for the establishment of the Museum. Built in 1921, and at 57m tall, the Grain Silo remains an icon of the Cape Town skyline. This investment will further the development of art in Africa and acknowledges the important cultural and financial contribution the visual arts sector makes.
The R500-million redevelopment project, announced in November 2013 as a partnership between the V&A Waterfront and Jochen Zeitz will retain and honour the historic fabric and soul of the building while transforming the interior into a unique, cutting-edge space to house the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA). Considered the most extensive and representative collection of contemporary art from Africa, the Zeitz Collection has been gifted in perpetuity to this non-profit institution by ex-Puma CEO and Chairman, Jochen Zeitz. The collection will be showcased in 9,500m2 of custom-designed space spread over nine floors, of which 6,000 m2 will be dedicated exhibition space. Completion of the project is due for end 2016.

This is my attempt to re-frame a recently-closed question in a more positive and productivity-focused way.
Various cultural artifacts make mention of writers that escaped to isolated cottages far away to finish books, or design teams that were locked away in hotels for a week until they emerged with the right design.
In either context, I'm interested in peoples' experiences with this sort of long term isolation (so this isn't even close to the 'turn off email for a day' approach), and I'm interested in any research that looks into the 'focus entire being on a single problem until either you break or it does' approach.

She never set out to become a controverisal food maven, telling people how to eat their cake and keep their weight down too. Lillien was just another LA "Hungry Girl," a 30-something woman who would diet off that extra 20 pounds and then put the weight back on. That was until the former studio publicist started coming up with low-cal recipes for some of those favored foods and emailing them around to friends. Ten years later, Lillien sits atop a Hungry Girl empire. ( AP Photo/Nick Ut)

Joe Browns is a lifestyle company with a customer base of over 900,000 and was started with a view to offering something different and far more individual to the other clothing catalogues in the UK and offers a range of mens and womens clothing, along with a selection of gifts and accessories. I also love the nightwear and onesie's which will make great Christmas presents.
I had £50 to spend and went straight to the knitwear section as knew my wardrobe was lacking a nice piece of chunky knitwear and I was immediately drawn to a cardigan that would keep me warm during the central heating wars that continue in my house! I had to drag myself away from the Dealer and Shearling buckle boots to make this choice, you know what I am like for footwear!
The Snuggle Bunny Knit £39.95
A real thick snuggly cardigan with cable detail and a cosy collar which you can wear like a funnel neck for when you don't want to wear a scarf.
One thing I love about having short arms is the fact that the sleeves are plenty long enough to channel your inner "Granny Chic" ....
I also chose a pair of black leggings as I was in dire need of a new pair for lounging around the house, and although sometimes they can be a bit hit and miss on the quality and thickness issue, the Joe Browns leggings are of really good quality and passed the "fist test" (where you stretch the fabric of the leggings over your first, and if you can see the colour of your skin through the material, then don't buy them) with ease.
Have you ever bought from Joe Browns?

One great thing about having a blog is you get to pontificate from time to time. Tonight's topic: the reusable shopping bag. Now, as much as I love the reusable shopping bag, it exemplifies the band-aid solutions were are taking to environmental problems. Using the shopping bag gives people a false sense that they are making a difference without making much of a difference at all. Tell me: what's the point of using a reusable shopping bag only to fill it up heavily packaged, heavily processed crap, and animal products that are helping destroy the planet? The disconnect drives me mad. I am sure people are wondering why I squirm a lot in the checkout line. UPDATE: I should stop being a Pretentious Green Ass, according to this article.

Fair enough, but if it makes you feel better some of us do fill our reusable shopping bags and produce bags (that we make ourselves out of recycled materials) with un-packaged whole foods as much as possible. Not enough of us, but some.
Overall, however, point taken.

I don't think you should discourage people from doing the little things, so long as they realize that getting a reusable bag can't be their ONLY contribution.
I like the reusable because they're sturdy for walking home with, but I still make use of the disposable when I end up with them, because I reuse them as trash bags. I haven't bought trashbags in years.

I'm hungry and this looks wonderful, so I am literally drooling. I love vermicelli noodles with fried tofu -- the perfect textural combo.
I know what you mean about the reusable bags. I get especially annoyed by people who use those bags but then put their bunch of bananas into another plastic disposable produce bag. WHY? The bananas aren't going to go anywhere. Just put them in your cart and leave it at that. Same for lots of other veggies/fruits. /end rant.

I could not agree with you more about the band-aid solution. It drives me mad and goes far beyond re-useable bags. On a more pleasant note, your noodles look really nice. In fact, most all of your food and pics look great. Are you a photographer?

looks so great - and easy! one question: are you referring to a recipe on your blog when you say "double recipe sweet chili sauce?" If I were going to substitute with a store-bought sweet chili sauce, how much should I use?

I totally grock your frustration. I really try to make as much from scratch as possible and we are working on reducing not only our household trash output, but also our recycling out-put. And yet, the natural foods store we shop at prepackages all their bulk at a ware house to keep costs down, which prevents me from using my own containers. I could drive 24 miles round trip to a different store, but that would likely zero out my efforts! And, shopping at the non-natural foods store is completely frightening -- I swear that 95% of what they sell shouldn't even be considered food!

LOL! about the using of reusable shopping bags when your essentially making little or no impact on the environment when consuming animal products. I use my reusable bags, but since I'm vegan, I feel as though I'm allowed. ;)

- Holly said...
Well, what's worse? A reusable bag filled with heavily packaged/processed crap and animal products, or a one-time-use plastic bag filled with heavily packaged/processed crap and animal products? The reusable bag does make some difference. Your argument reminds me of what some omnis say to me: "Well you can't avoid killing animals. Harvesting crops kills mice, worms and insects. Driving your car, using your computer, they all use animal products. So why bother going vegan at all?" Because it does make some difference.

I'm not saying to give up the reuseable shopping bag, just to be sensible about what is going into the bag.

While I see your frustration, I just don't think it's fair to berate people for trying to make a difference. I don't put my veggies in produce bags if I can help it, and steer clear of as many packaged foods as I can....but even if I DIDN'T do all that...my reusable bags, at 6 every time I shop....once a week 52 weeks a year...that's 312 bags! (Probably more, because the plastic are smaller) And I'm just shopping for myself and my boyfriend...think of a family of a 6..like my mom was shopping for until myself and my siblings grew up and moved out. 312 bags...that's a heck of a difference I'd say.

First off, love your blog. I check it regularly to get ideas for my cooking. Secondly, I feel you on your frustration. Living in a state where being a vegan is looked at as crazy and borderline un-American, tackling other green related issues has also produced some frowns and looks of disgust. For example taking my compostable goods home from work with me is viewed as weird and borderline crazy. But, in doing so it has provided me with some great opportunities to share some the green knowledge that I have and even get people to think about the things that they consume and the way they dispose of things. All in all, thanks for the great blog. Keep up the good work.

I think a lot of people are taking what you said the wrong way, but I understand.
It's sad when you buy a bunch of fruits and vegetables and grains and the people around you in line say, "Oh! You're a health nut!" No, that's just food, and what I make is by no means considered "health food." Some folks definitely have a pretty blurry line between what is classified as "food" and "junk food."
For some people the reusable bag is like a get out of jail free card. "Yes, I buy heavily packaged garbage...but I have a canvas shopping bag!" It's not bad that they have them and it definitely makes a difference, which I don't believe you ever said that it didn't make a difference at all.
As annoying as it is that green sort of became "trendy," making it even tougher to sort out what's 'green' and what isn't these days, I can't think of a better trend right now off the top of my head. It's better than when girls started wearing thongs that came up higher above the top of their trousers har har.
But yes, it would really be nice if people thought about their actions more instead of just saying that's it, I've done enough, now give me my hot pockets brand pocket sandwiches. And that's not judging individuals, but the human race generally.

The food looks DELICIOUS and I love you for your maple dijon brussel sprouts recipe that I now make at least once a week.
BUT... come on and be nice. I'd rather everyone did a little something as opposed to nothing at all. And a little something usually leads to a little awareness and hopefully a little more something and a little more something...

I love the sweet and hot noodle recipe; it is better than some thai food I have had.
The meatball recipe was delicious; revised it to my italian meatball recipe replacing the meat with the tempeh and gluten; used soy parmesan instead of nutritional yeast and only using oregano and basil for spices; after frying the meatballs and soaking them in sauce, just before serving place the meatballs in a bowl in a steamer; put the steamer over the pot of boiling water for your pasta; when the pasta is done the meatballs are hot; they come out so moist.

i take my reusable shopping bag to the local market and buy lots of produce. i feel good and i support my local farmers (even though i also have a garden).
i also use it when i'm at the store buying canned veggies or frozen veggies... especially when local produce is hard to come buy. i also fill it with goodies from local bakeries and such...

News Releases
COLUMBIA, Mo., May 15 - Columbia College is pleased to announce Dr. Jeff Musgrove has been named vice president for Adult Higher Education. Musgrove currently serves as the southeast regional director, overseeing campuses in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He also is the campus director of Columbia College-Patrick Air Force Base in Patrick Air Force Base, Florida.
"As we started this search, my instincts told me that we had ample internal talent for this position, and the search confirmed that," said Dr. Scott Dalrymple, president of Columbia College. "I was impressed by Jeff's intelligence, enthusiasm, candor and sense of humor. I have every confidence that Jeff will build on the impressive legacy left by Col. Mike Randerson, who retired in January."
Musgrove visited the Columbia campus May 14, meeting with constituents including administrative council members, faculty and staff.
"I'm honored to have the opportunity to lead Columbia College's Division of Adult Higher Education," said Musgrove. "The landscape of higher education is changing, and we have to adjust to those changes. We have to be proactive and look at different ways to deliver higher education. I'm excited about the college's future and the direction we're heading."
The search for the college's next vice president began shortly after Randerson, who served as vice president for Adult Higher Education for nearly 18 years, announced his retirement in August 2013.
Musgrove holds a doctorate degree in business administration from Argosy University, a master's degree in human resources from Webster University and a bachelor's degree in management studies from University of Maryland University College. Musgrove has worked for the college for nearly 16 years, serving as program coordinator, campus director and director for the southeast region. Prior to his work at Columbia College, Musgrove spent 20 years in the U.S. Air Force. As an Air Force First Sergeant, he was the principal advisor to the commander on all issues related to the enlisted force.
Founded in 1851 in Columbia, Mo., Columbia College has been helping students advance their lives through higher education for more than 160 years. As a private, nonprofit, liberal arts and sciences institution, the college takes pride in its small classes, experienced faculty and quality educationalprograms. With more than 30 Nationwide Campuses across the country, 18 of which are on military installations, students may enroll in day, evening or online classes. The college is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association. Columbia College educates more than 31,000 students each year and has more than 80,000 alumni. For more information, visit www.ccis.edu.

I am also looking at doing some new French saves as well, because the teams there are already decided as well.

FILE -- Aisha Gadhafi, the daughter of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi waits before making a speech in Cairo in this Thursday April 28, 2005 file photo. Algeria's Health Ministry says that ousted Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's daughter has given birth to a baby girl in Algiers, Tuesday Aug. 20, 2011. Algerian news reports had said Aisha's pending childbirth was one reason for the decision to allow the family into Algeria.(AP Photo/Amr Nabil, File )
TRIPOLI, Libya (From CNN) -- For more than three minutes, you see a mob of enraged men toss Moammar Gadhafi around like a broken mannequin. His body and face bloody, his black bushy hair a crazy mess, the 69-year-old is pummeled. His shirt is ripped open to reveal a pudgy belly.
The cell phone capturing the scene focuses on a gulf of red spreading across the Libyan dictator's backside as someone stabs him in the rear with a bayonet. It didn't take long before the video was uploaded to the Internet, and the world's news organizations were broadcasting it.
The end of the eight-month uprising in 2011, inspired by the toppling of regimes in Egypt and Tunisia, seemed to have come to a grotesque end on October 20th.
It's still not officially clear how Gadhafi died because there's never been a formal investigation, Human Rights Watch said Wednesday in a 50-page report that details his death and the events leading up to it.
The rights group has obtained witness accounts and examined amateur videos shot with cell phones. One of the famous images captured on the day the mob got Gadhafi shows a young man holding a golden pistol triumphantly in the air as he's cheered.
A storyline heavily repeated in the media is that the fallen dictator was shot in the head with his own gilded weapon.
The killing of Gadhafi and the fall of his Libya is a dramatic story, but it's missing one very important part.
The rights group says the militiamen who ravaged Gadhafi and captured, tortured and killed his loyalists are possibly responsible for war crimes because killing someone in detention is recognized as such under international law. HRW lambastes Libya's current transitional government, saying it has taken no serious steps in investigating or prosecuting anti-Gadhafi militias.
If Libya is going to truly rid itself of violence and extremists -- a timely demand considering last month's U.S. consulate attack -- justice, the group believes, must be meted out on all sides.
CNN reached out to Libyan authorities Wednesday for comment on the Human Rights Watch report, but none responded immediately.
In February 2011, protesters took to the streets in Libya. They demanded peacefully that Gadhafi step down. His 42 years of hardline rule had to end.
As rallies continued, Gadhafi responded by ordering his forces to fire into the crowds. The movement descended into a violent uprising that dragged on for months. By March, the opposition gained a foothold in the city of Benghazi. In response, Gadhafi's forces closed in on the city.
At the United Nations, the Security Council passed a resolution imposing a no-fly zone over Libya and authorized the use of "all necessary measures" -- except an occupation -- to protect civilians from the violence raging in their country.
In August, as Tripoli looked ever more fragile, Gadhafi, his crew and his sons jumped into cars and sped off in various directions. Khamis Gadhafi, active in his father's regime, was killed in a NATO airstrike as he tried to skip town.
Another son, Saif al-Islam, managed to make his way to the Misrata suburb of Bani Walid, surrounded by desert. Al-Islam later told Human Rights Watch that a NATO airstrike had left him mildly wounded. He was captured in November near Libya's border.
National security adviser Mutassim Gadhafi, another son, made it safely to Sirte, his father's hometown. That's where the dictator and his crew headed, also.
Senior security adviser Mansour Dhao was in tow, he told Human Rights Watch, as well as Gadhafi's personal guard, driver and a bunch of other bodyguards.
Libya's intelligence chief was there, but only briefly, because he was dispatched hundreds of miles to the south of Sirte. His job? He had to tell Khamis' mother that her son was dead. For some time, Gadhafi and his inner circle stayed in the middle of the city. But as the fighting intensified, they began moving from empty house to empty house, eating the food left in the cupboards, Dhao said.
The homes they sought shelter in had already been looted. As the weeks wore on, food was sparse. The medicine they had was running out. It was getting tougher to find water.
This group, who once dined in luxury, was subsisting on pasta and rice.
"Living (was) very hard... we didn't even have bread," Dhao recounted.
Gadhafi spent most of his time reading the Quran and praying.
"His communications with the world was cut off... no television, nothing," Dhao said. "No news. Maybe we could use the (satellite phone) and get some news from al-Rai, Russia Today, BBC or France 24. I mean, (we) could call people who watch those channels.
"We had no duties," he said. "We were just between sleeping and being awake."
The militias hunting Gadhafi were getting closer. And the dictator was getting moodier.
"(He was) becoming more and more angry," Dhao said. "Mostly he was angry about the lack of electricity, communications, and television, his inability to communicate with the outside world."
The men would sit with Gadhafi and try to calm him down.
"Why is there no electricity?" he screamed at them. "Why is there no water?"
By mid-October, Mutassim, one of the two surviving sons, decided enough was enough. He told the group in Sirte to meet at an ad-hoc clinic. They were going to try to escape. The plan was to break out around 3:30 or 4 a.m.
But it took until about 8 a.m. to load the supplies and the men who were wounded. By that time, anti-Gadhafi militia fighters had returned to their fighting positions.
Odds were stacked against the convoy, not least of all because it was unwieldy, including some 250 people.
