Hello everybody.
I want to explain what happened to my laptop Dell e6420 with Ubuntu 32bit 12.04 (22.214.171.124 kernel).
Last week my laptop frozen in two different days without any type of error and it was been necessary to reboot through the power-on button.
Ok, I thought that there were some problems with the new kernel and the video drivers.
It's ok, go ahead.
I did a backup with Remastersys (god bless the authors) and when I reboot the laptop, unity worked at 2D mode.
Code:echo $DESKTOP_SESSION ubuntu-2dWhat???Code:/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300) OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 8.0.4 Not software rendered: no Not blacklisted: yes GLX fbconfig: yes GLX texture from pixmap: yes GL npot or rect textures: yes GL vertex program: yes GL fragment program: yes GL vertex buffer object: yes GL framebuffer object: yes GL version is 1.4+: yes Unity 3D supported: no
I thought that It was a problem with virtualbox (VMWARE), no way....I purge it, I followed all guides to re-install mesa, intel and any type of proprietary drivers (nvidia included)...but at the end there was not been a solution to return back to unity 3D!!!
In the purge and reinstall steps, something went wrong and my ubuntu is died
Well, I decided to re-install it with the remastersys backup. At the boot I noticed that also the live-cd runned to 2D (so it was an old problem, before the backup).
I installed the backup and in the update manager I selected the precise-proposed updates.
In the repository there was the 220.127.116.11 version of the kernel, I installed and unity has returned back to 3D
Code:echo $DESKTOP_SESSION ubuntuGreat!!! But It has worked for only 3 days until the compat wireless driver installation.Code:/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile x86/MMX/SSE2 OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 8.0.4 Not software rendered: yes Not blacklisted: yes GLX fbconfig: yes GLX texture from pixmap: yes GL npot or rect textures: yes GL vertex program: yes GL fragment program: yes GL vertex buffer object: yes GL framebuffer object: yes GL version is 1.4+: yes Unity 3D supported: yes
In fact, this morning I installed the driver for the first time, I uninstalled them and finally I re-installed them....at the second reboot, unity has returned to work in 2D mode!!!
At the end...I reinstalled (for the second time) the remastersys backup.
What does it happened?
How can I solve this problem for the next times?
Now I am scared to install and do anything!!
Thank you very much for the help!
Have a nice day!

I am trying to play Metal Slug in mame. I have both mslug.zip and neogeo.zip, both showing up in the games list, but when I try to run Metal Slug, it says I am missing one or more required files.
Please help? Thanks.
I'm guessing you have bad rom files. Do a scan in mame and if the game doesn't show as playable then you have bad rom files.

Those who attended the New York Metropolitan Opera's HD broadcast performance of the lilting, highly melodic and comedic "Elixir of Love" by Donizetti may find the two week interlude a bit short to make the transition to Saturday's production of Verdi's "Otello," which is based on Shakespeare's tragic tale of jealousy and conspiracy. Yet, the soaring melodies of Verdi's composition, the vocal intonations and stage actions of the main characters and the blending of the chorus with brilliant orchestral support under the baton of Semyon Bychkov do not disappoint. In one of her most celebrated parts, Rene Fleming sings and acts the role of Desdemona, wife of the Moor Otello, governor of the Island of Cyprus. In a recent New York Times review, Fleming's performance is described as "sublime," and the skill with which she knows "exactly how to spin the gentle lines of the 'Willow Song' and 'Ave Maria' so that they so softly fill the hall" is acknowledged. South African tenor, Johan Botha, sings and acts the title role of Otello, one of the most demanding parts in the operatic repertoire. Botha's opening performance received mixed reviews. His towering size is set in contrast to Flemming's petite and bright demeanor; yet, his voice is a brilliant clarion tenor. Baritone Falk Struckmann sings the role of the treacherous villain Iago, and rising American tenor, Michael Fabiano, makes his Metropolitan Opera Live in HD debut as Cassio. The storyline involves an initial military victory, followed by conspiracy, false accusations and tragedy. Otello, a black Moor and brave soldier, is elevated to the rank of general for successfully winning the 15th-century Venetian wars against the Turks. His high esteem results in a secret marriage to Desdemona, the daughter of a powerful local senator. Otello then promotes Cassio, a young soldier, to chief lieutenant, much to the disdain of the crafty, villainous Iago, who vows vengeance on both Otello and Cassio. Through a series of false accusations, Iago convinces Otello that Desdemona has been unfaithful by having an affair with Cassio. The final act is the bedroom scene, where a distraught Otello commits an unspeakable act with far-reaching repercussions.Otello is considered Verdi's towering achievement. His profound musical insights into Shakespeare's stageplay illuminate the hero's tragic journey. This Metropolitan Opera simulcast comes to the Eileen & Paul Finkel Auditorium at Colorado Mountain College in Breckenridge courtesy of CMC and the National Repertory Orchestra. Light snacks will be served during intermission, and an open discussion on the opera's 21st century relevance concludes the program.

I am an eighth grader in need of some help. I was assigned a school project on making a java application that computes the total permutations of to given numbers where nPr and later on nCr. I understand the equation for permutations is n! divided by (r-1)!, but what is the equation for combinations by the terms of n and r?
One way to derive the formula from the number of permutations, $n\mathrm{P}r$, is the following:
To count the number of permutations of $r$ elements out of $n$, you can first select the $r$ elements, which can be done in $n\mathrm{C}r$ ways; and then you can order them, which can be done in $r\mathrm{P}r$ ways (you are now only ordering the $r$ elements you chose). That is, $$n\mathrm{P}r = n\mathrm{C}r\times r\mathrm{P}r.$$ Since you already know that $n\mathrm{P}r = n!/(n-r)!$ and that $r\mathrm{P}r = r!$, then solving for $n\mathrm{C}r$ we get: $$n\mathrm{C}r = \frac{n\mathrm{P}r}{r\mathrm{P}r} = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$$
Just to complete writing a formal answer (as it has been answered in the comments):
$\displaystyle n\mathrm{P}r =\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$
$\displaystyle n\mathrm{C}r =\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

5 Mind-Blowingly Valuable Things Hidden in Everyday Life
In a world of rational thinkers, goods would cost exactly what they're worth to us. This is not that world, however, so we wind up spending five dollars on a cup of coffee, and somewhere there is a guy still hanging on to a room full of collectible Beanie Babies that he was sure would fund his retirement.
But even outside of the obvious and silly examples, there are all sorts of situations where money works in ways that we just can't wrap our minds around. As hard as it is to believe, experts say ...
#5. Buying Homes for the Homeless Would Actually Save Money
The homeless will always be with us. No one wants to hire them, and there's no way society can afford to just give them a place to live. When a dude is sleeping in a box he found in the alleyway and eating rats cooked over a cigarette lighter, it's sad, but he's not costing us anything -- at most, he costs whatever spare change he collects in his hat every day.
But has anyone gone ahead and calculated the actual cost of keeping someone alive and homeless? Someone did! And it's around a million dollars.
"This city is my mansion, and you're all terribly ungrateful butlers."
Wait, What?
First of all, as a society we're not cool with just letting poor people die in the streets. So while we don't provide housing, we do provide emergency room care. It's counterintuitive, but this begrudging little bit of help actually winds up costing society way more than if we just went the whole way.
Why? Well, it should come as a surprise to nobody that living on the street is kind of unhealthy, and that's before the depression and its accompanying substance abuse come into play. For example, Boston Health Care for the Homeless tracked 119 chronically homeless people for five years. In that time, those 119 people racked up an astounding 18,834 emergency room visits, despite the fact that 33 of them died and seven were placed in a nursing home during that time. In Washington in 2002, 198 individuals generated 9,000 emergency room visits, or a little under one a week. At a minimum of $1,000 a visit, that's a heck of a medical bill that those hospitals are trying to collect from a homeless person. Unless they have a really good day panhandling, that money is coming out of your pocket.
"You mean this won't cover my co-pay?"
Add in the annual cost of $24,000 if they take advantage of a shelter, plus the cost of the police to arrest and process those who misbehave (plus the round-the-clock housing, feeding and guarding they get once they're in jail), and it all adds up to a tidy sum for taxpayers to handle. Experts say it really would be cheaper just to house them and treat them.
For instance, a San Diego program found that "When patients were connected with housing, income benefits, health insurance and a primary care home, a 61 percent decrease in emergency department visits and a 62 percent decrease in inpatient days occurred over two years." Statistically, a person just doesn't get as sick, and doesn't get into as much trouble, once they have a roof over their head.
"... and no more lighter rats for me. It's strictly propane rats from now on."
The general public, of course, would never go for this idea, on principle alone. But it turns out principle is expensive as hell. And if you automatically rebel against the idea of giving free houses to hobos, you're going to hate this next one even more ...
#4. Paying Children for Good Grades Pays Off in the Long Run
You're probably thinking that we already place enormous value on our grades. Many of us worked our asses off for 12 years just so we could get into college to study some more. But since the average college graduate earns about half a million dollars more in their lifetime than someone with just a high school diploma, you have to wonder, do we really value our grades enough? Research suggests that we'd all be better off if we opened our wallets and paid our kids to study.
Wait, What?
This is an outrage! Nobody paid you to go to school! Those little spoiled brats should be thankful they even have school!
"You punks are just lucky we don't make you fistfight chinchillas for our amusement."
But here's something funny about minors: They a) don't like to listen to adults and b) aren't the best long-term planners. When we tell 12-year-olds to earn good grades so that, in more than five years, they can go to a place where they have to earn more good grades to have a better chance at having a great job five years after that, they had already stopped listening before we got halfway through the sentence. Kids need more immediacy in their rewards. In short, you need to bribe them.
A Harvard University economist analyzed what happened when schools paid their students to study. And guess what? The grades improved, the students were more likely to go to college and get hired, and sales of music designed to piss off parents probably rose 500 percent. But that's probably not all that surprising -- what was especially crazy in this study was that the students earned better grades even when they were paid just for showing up.
In other words: Just treat school like a job.
"Looking at these grades, I don't think this whole 'son' thing is going to work out.
However, we do have an opening at the position of 'dog'."
But why should the government pay your snotty kid not to waste his potential? Because society makes money in the long run. Better grades equal a better job, a better job means a higher income and a higher income means more money paid in taxes. It also means less chance the kid will drop out and burden society with endless bar brawls and infections from dirty tattoo needles.
So let's say we pay an eighth grader $20 a week to attend school until graduation. That amounts to a little over five grand. If she graduates, she will earn more money, which means she will pay more tax -- around $2,400 more. Which means that, within two years, we break even on the investment. Continue the principle throughout college, and it's all dollar signs, according to this chart:
This is why the District of Columbia recently announced that it would be paying kids to attend summer school. Again, it seems kind of cynical. But then again ... what are we afraid of? That we're not preparing these kids for what to expect in the adult world? Where people don't do things purely for financial incentive?
#3. The Metal in Your Coins Is Worth More Than the Currency
For all but the most frugal of us, loose change is more annoying than it's worth. Whenever we buy something with a price ending in a 6 and all we have is cash, it means we'll wind up with four useless pennies that we'll throw into a jar and probably never see again. But those pennies and nickels aren't quite as cheap as you've been led to believe. What if we told you that your change is worth up to twice what it says on the face?
"Sorry, I'm gonna need that back."
Wait, What?
The tiny chunk of metal that a penny is made from is worth more than twice the value printed on the face of it. In other words, if you took your $500 paycheck and asked the bank to give it to you in pennies, you'd have more than $1,000 in precious metals (if you could find someone to melt them down).
That's because, strangely, society halved the value of that glob of metal as soon as we stamped Lincoln's face on it. It's worth a penny because we etched "one penny" on the surface, even though the inherent value of the material in some older pennies is more than two cents. The same goes for nickels -- they're made from a blend of copper and, well, nickel, which is worth about seven cents per coin.
"Man, if I had a nickel for every time I had a nickel, I'd have -- like, three times as many nickels."
But before you fire up the furnace to magically double the value of your piggy bank, know that the United States government has a law against melting coins for exactly this reason. Doing so can earn you five years in the slammer, which is probably more than you're willing to risk for that extra cent per penny. But that doesn't mean you should go ahead and flatten them on the railroad tracks, either.
There are people out there who are willing to buy your coins for more than they are worth as currency. Of particular interest are pennies minted before 1982, which are made of copper (as opposed to modern pennies, which are made of zinc) and are worth more due to the steadily increasing price of copper. A business owner in Portland, Oregon, sells $100 worth of pre-1982 pennies for $175, and another guy scours 15 banks a week for pennies, of which he has $2,000 worth in his shed (which coincidentally sounds like the setup for the lamest heist movie ever).
But the grand poobah of them all may be a hedge fund manager named Kyle Bass, who predicted the housing crisis and Europe's sovereign debt crisis, and who has 20 million nickels stashed at an undisclosed location. To put that into perspective, that's one out of every thousand nickels in circulation.
The reason? Coin hoarders believe that the time will come soon when the U.S. Treasury just doesn't think it's worth it to print pennies and nickels anymore, and promotes the dime to the smallest legal currency. When that happens, it won't be illegal to melt your pennies and nickels, and it'll be payday for the hoarders. So you may not be able to take advantage of hoarding coins, but you can take advantage of those who think they can.

Entering the final quarter of play Saturday, the Leavenworth girls' basketball team was eight minutes away from winning the Emporia Tournament.
Up 36-34, the Lady Pioneers just needed one more quality quarter to walk away with the Glacier's Edge Girls Basketball Tournament championship.
Instead, Topeka Seaman wore down Leavenworth's defense enough to post 14 points. While doing that, LV went cold from the field and scored just five points down the stretch.
The end result was a 48-41 Leavenworth defeat.
The Lady Pioneers, 7-5, will look to bounce back tonight at Lawrence when the teams face off at 5:45 p.m.

I have been trying to reduce how long I sleep so that I have more waking hours available. I have read this question, and this one but it does not really give an answer.
My question is whether I can train my body to sleep less. I currently have about 6.5 to 7 hours sleep per night. If I reduce that to 6 hours every night for the next two months, and then down to 5.5 hours then onward, will my body get adjusted to the new sleep pattern?

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Many times answers in comments are not complete answers but more of the form: "Have you tried X?". Which is really more of a comment than an exact answer. From my perspective this is more common for vague questions, where you might have several "Have you tried X" type comments and don't want to clutter up the question with several answers that no longer apply.
If I have an answer, I'll answer. If the question doesn't contain enough information to answer conclusively, but I have a "try this" suggestion, I'll probably comment.
This seems to be the case more often than not - comments are more like Q&A with the OP, and the question may end up being answered that way. But clearly written questions usually get answers, not comments.
Sometimes if I don't have time to answer properly but have the answer, I'll give the answer (or at list a pointer) as a comment. Ever since I went over 10k rep, I don't care about points that much.
The other case where I would answer with a comment is when I'm not totally sure about my answer, either because the question is unclear or because my knowledge is a bit off on the subject.
(posted this ANSWER as a comment accidentally!)

Replies by posters with higher ratings get more attention and even more rating, thus discriminating (to certain extent) perfect posts of people with low score rate. Next, perfectly valid (according to rules) posts are sometimes downvoted by certain groups of people (such as open-source evangelists) who think they are above the rules. To avoid this, it's better to answer in a comment.
Jon Skeet (no. 1 SO poster) said that points aren't important anymore for him; badges are. Also, it's fair play, since it allows folks with lower amount of points to attain more and it helps keep everything in balance.
One explanation. Some of us, upon seeing a question of questionable validity, feel a dilemma. We might know something useful. But we don't want to encourage poor questions by answering them. And often, with low-quality questions, it's quite unclear what's really being asked, and so any answer has a good chance of being (ahem) pointless. There's also a certain hypocrisy about answering and also voting to close. In these cases, a comment is a way of offering some possible assistance to the OP.

Any ideas?

I need to recompile the kernel with minimum configuration so that after compiling its size stay below 950 KB and it should boot correctly after compilation. I need to compile with minimum possible features just to boot from the kernel. How can I do this?
940K is a hard target to hit. The kernel can be configured with various options. The special make target
On an x86 system here, a Linux 3.0 kernel compiled with
A custom-built kernel will likely not run your software measurably faster. And if your laptop is a HP nc6400 (RB515UA) then it came with 1024 MB of memory (ref). So a 950 KB custom kernel would save memory, but your total memory usage would decrease by only a tiny amount (less than 1%). So compiling a custom kernel would not be worth the effort.
If you want Ubuntu to run faster on your PC, consider:
What are the slowest operations on your computer? What operations would you most like to speed up?
To make the kernel really small check lspci -vvv to determine the modules to make it bootable, disable all kernel hacking tree, enable small kernel size and use lzma method to compress the kernel. Eventually disable initramfs it can save some kb. My kernel size is 3,3M big with lzma but with bzip2 3,8M but I don't use small size kernel. Most likely lzma compression isn't available for all kernels.

d'Amboise doesn't go on about this,
He sure doesn't.
Within a few years, of course, standards changed, and so did casting. "Exquisiteness of changing bodily configurations" and "poetic aura" became the new aesthetic ideal, and Farrell became its priestess. Dancers who expressed themselves differently, or whose body types were different, went out of fashion, fairly or unfairly.
Clive Barnes complained about that, saying that Balanchine was neglecting mature dancers like Hayden in favor of the young and heartless," I think was his phrase.
Im also reminded of Tallchiefs story about teaching class and asking the young Farrell to lift her leg a bit. Like this? said Farrell as her leg swept upward. Tallchief said it was then that she understood why Balanchine wanted to work with the new young dancers. Most generous of her.

National parks all across the country are being forced to take a five percent budget cut because of sequestration.
Locally, Mammoth Cave National Park was forced to cut hundreds of thousands of dollars from their budget.
Mammoth Cave National Park Superintendent Sarah Craighead was notified last month she had to cut five percent of the park's budget.
With short notification, and the cuts going into effect March 1st, there was nothing the park could do to make up the difference.
Craighead says most of their dollars go toward visitor's services.
When they were notified about budget cuts in February, there was no other place to cut from.
"We'll cut 11 seasonal positions out of our staffing-- three of those run Houchen's Ferry and carries passengers back and forth everyday. We will also be cutting seven seasonals that run cave tours," Craighead says.
Houchen's Ferry is now closed and two four-hour tours have been cut.
Craighead says 10,000 people use Houchen's Ferry in Brownsville each year-- it has been open for more than a century, and 28,000 visitors now won't be able to go on a tour.
"The park generates about $33 million in the local community and about 500 jobs so some of that money and jobs will be affected," Craighead says.
$316,000 has been cut going into the peak tourism season, which she says could affect the South Central Kentucky Communities.
Now, Craighead says it is up to the Federal government to fix their current situation.
"If they are able to pass some type of budget package that does not require 5 percent cuts then we will change plans accordingly but until we know that we have to plan as if 5 percent cuts are being taken," she says.
Whether or not President Obama and Congress come to an agreement, she says tourists will continue to be the number one priority.
"It is the mission of the National Park Service and Mammoth Cave National Park to serve the public and protect the parks. We will continue to do that to the best of our ability regardless of our funding levels," Craighead says.
These cuts will be in effect until September.
After that, she says a new annual budget will be issued, and she fears there could be more cuts.

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians."

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis

I asked this question Stack Overflow but I was informed that I would get a better to this question here because it's not related to programming.
I am creating a directory which uses locations to categorize all listings. Instead of relying on user input, I'd like to provide a list of locations which the user can select. I have already tried GeoWorldMap which is provided by GeoBytes but it has certain issues. For example, it lists 275 countries. Other than that, their database is updated on a regular basis so that means if I maintain a local database, I'll need to update it every now and then to make sure it's up to date.
I want to know what developers use for this? Instead of a database, do they use some service to fetch a list of locations?
I am afraid manual user input is not an open option because categorization by location is going to be essential so I cannot trust or rely on what the user enters manually.
I have seen few sites doing this so I am sure there is a practical solution out there.

Anyone else get a 'BestBuy Order Confirmation' for an order they didn't place today?
This may or may not be related to the earlier LinkedIn password leaks, or may be a whole new issue with BestBuy's site on its own..
I just received an order confirmation for:
Sony Computer Entertainment America - PlayStation Network Code for PlayStation 3 and PSP ($50) (Downloadable Content)
Thankfully I saw the email right away and was able to login to my BestBuy account and cancel it before it was digitally delivered (And then proceeded to remove my credit card and change my password - Though I don't remember saving my credit card info on BB's site in the first place.) Then, I did some research and it seems that quite a few people have had the same thing happen to them today... (Saw a thread or 3 going on over on SD's site regarding this)
Did this happen to anyone else? And if so, were you a part of the LinkedIn leak?
9 Answers answer
No, but good to know
I hope you didn't get to "Bestbuy" using a link in the email.
I hope you didn't use any links inside the email to go to the bestbuy site, and if you did that you did not enter any personal info. There was a scam awhile back where they would have the link point to their own website that was made to look like the best buy one and capture any personal info that they could. if they used dummy pages for the account info, and linked back into the real website for everything else, it was hard to tell what was happening. Even if they didn't do this, they could try to use their site to push any number of exploits onto your system if you are not up to date on your virus scanners.
I see where Best Buy responded...
"This situation is not the result of any breach of Best Buy systems and we are working to take care of potentially impacted customers."
Comforting, isn't it?
@samstag @publiclurker: Yeah, my initial reaction was the standard, "This is going to be another phishing scheme" (There were in fact, lots of links in the email) so I went to BestBuy's site manually and the order did in fact show up on my account. That is where I cancelled the order and that is where I removed the credit card and changed my password.
@limehaven: I had something similar happen with a Walmart order about a week ago. Someone got into my account and ordered a cell phone. I got the shipping notice. I spent a couple of hours that day calling and emailing places, changing passwords and deleting information from various sites, getting my credit card reissued, etc. For some reason this guy didn't spring for expedited shipping, so we were able to get the shipment turned around before it was delivered. Certainly is a pain to deal with.
Nothing here. I even checked my junk mail folder just to be sure.
A month or so ago there was a scam for best buy that came through as cell phone messages. And it even came through on my tracfone. It stated something about having won a bunch of money. Of course I didn't respond, and then a few days later our local Best Buy put out a press release stating these things were not being done by them and, of course, saying they were taking care of the problem. And I have no connection with linked in.
This same thing happened to me. I logged into my bestbuy.com account and I had 3 orders for $50 dollars each for a playstation 3 gift card, digitally downloadable. It had used my best buy reward zone mastercard to buy them. Only one of the orders were processed. It was emailed to someone @singapore.com I contacted bestbuy and they refunded the order and reset my password which clears out my stored credit cards. They had mentioned that over 200,000 best buy accounts have been compromised the same way, and that iTunes accounts were also compromised.

Issue Date:
October, 2012
The October issue of Environment & Climate News reports Massachusetts has adopted new regulations making it more difficult for biomass power to qualify for the renewable energy credits that enable those power plants to remain economically feasible and stay in operation.
Also in this issue:
- Biomass power plants regularly violate clean air and water laws, the Wall Street Journal reports, with 85 of 107 plants operating at the start of 2012 having received citations from federal or state regulators during the past five years.
- Dairyland Power Cooperative of Wisconsin reached a joint settlement agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Sierra Club over alleged clean air violations. The settlement will directly cost the average Dairyland Power customer $250 and will drive up future electricity prices.
- A new wind farm proposed for federal land in Wyoming will inflict a devastating toll on threatened bird species, including sage grouse and eagles, environmentalists report.
- The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is considering a dramatic expansion in the length of permits allowing wind power operators to kill bald eagles and other protected bird species. FWS is considering lengthening the maximum duration of permits from five years to 30 years.
- Lobster is becoming more affordable for middle- and low-income families as warmer waters off the coast of New England cause a surge in lobster numbers. With more of the crustaceans showing up in lobstermen's pots, prices have fallen dramatically.
- Farmers and ranchers are in an uproar after the U.S. Department of Agriculture circulated a memo claiming humans harm the environment by eating meat and urging USDA employees to participate in "Meatless Mondays."

I am looking for a way to take a screenshot of the entire screen from the command line. Operating system is Windows. Something like this:
C:\>screenshot.exe screen1.png
I am looking for a way to take a screenshot of the entire screen from the command line. Operating system is Windows. Something like this:
Download imagemagick. Many command line image manipulation tools are included. import allows you to capture some or all of a screen and save the image to a file. For example, to save the entire screen as a jpeg:
If you want to use the mouse to click inside a window or select a screen region & save a a png, just use:
This question's already been answered, but I thought I'd throw this in as well. NirCmd (freeware, sadly, not open source) can take screenshots from the command line, in conjunction with the numerous other functions it can do.
Running this from the command line either in nircmd.exe's directory or if you copied it to your system32 folder:
does what you want. You can also delay it like this:
That will wait 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds), and then capture and save the screenshot.
Other suggestions are fine -- you could also try MiniCap, which is free and has some other features like flexible file naming and some different capture modes: http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/MiniCap/index.html
(disclaimer: I'm the author of MiniCap).
it can be done without external tools (you just need installed .net framework ,which is installed by default on everything from vista and above) - screenCapture.bat. It is a selfcompiled C# program and you can save the output in few formats and capture only the active window or the whole screen:
Try IrfanView.
You can run it via command-line. You can specify which window to capture – such as whole window or just the current/active window – and you can also do some basic editing such as sharpening, cropping or resizing the images.
Here are the command line options, particularly interesting is
OPTIONS: -wt WINDOW_TITLE Select window with this title. Title must not contain space (" "). -wh WINDOW_HANDLE Select window by it's handle (representad as hex string - f.e. "0012079E") -rc LEFT TOP RIGHT BOTTOM Crop source. If no WINDOW_TITLE is provided (0,0) is left top corner of desktop, else if WINDOW_TITLE maches a desktop window (0,0) is it's top left corner. -o FILENAME Output file name, if none, the image will be saved as "screenshot.png" in the current working directory. -h Shows this help info.
You can try the boxcutter tool:
You can use snapit to take awesome screenshots from the command line.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- Class times will shift at Topeka's USD 501 elementary schools starting August 2013, and not every day will be the same.
School officials say the time shifts will improve education, but parents are concerned it will be tougher for them to get their kids to class.
The school bell will ring a little later this fall in USD 501 elementary schools.
The school day will start ten minutes later - at 8:40 a.m. - and during full five-day weeks,Wednesday classes will start an hour later.
"Hopefully it'll give time for our teachers to work together and collaborate on test scores, improving their instructions," Superintendent Dr. Julie Ford told 13 News. "We're focusing a lot on K-2 reading. That'll be a major part of the collaboration."
The board made the decision in 2012 to give elementary teachers as much time for planning as middle and high school teachers.
The board hopes for better performance, but some parents are wondering about the negatives.
"I think if they need extra time they should leave the school hours the way they are and maybe meet that extra hour in the morning or after school," Angel Jordan said.
Parents are concerned about how their employers may react. "People have to work and they're going to have to adjust their whole schedule, their daycare," parent Albert Davis said. "I dont know how employers are going to deal with that as well."
"As long as they have something for parents to do with their kids then okay, but if not, then that's a real inconvenience for parents," Brandi Wright said. "They should have some way to accommodate the parents."
The district is prepared to meet those concerns.
"We're working with providers in Shawnee County that would want to come in and do some before-school programs," Ford said. "We will start breakfast, so students can come in and do breakfast. We think it won't be very disruptive. I think they'll get used to it, and like I said, there will be options for them available."
The late-start days are listed as:
August 21 & 28
September 18 & 25
October 2, 16 & 30
November 6, 13 & 20
December 4, 11 & 18

Crohn's Disease
Crohn's Disease Overview
Patient Comment Read 1 Comment
Crohn's (also called Crohn disease) disease is a chronic (slowly developing, long-term) inflammation of the digestive tract. It can affect any part of the digestive tract from the mouth to the anus but usually involves the terminal part of the small intestine, the beginning of the large intestine (cecum), and the area around the anus. The inflammation causes uncomfortable and bothersome symptoms and may produce serious damage to the digestive tract.
Crohn's disease is sometimes called regional enteritis or ileitis. It and a similar condition called ulcerative colitis are referred to together as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). These illnesses are known for their unpredictable flares and remissions.
The inflammation usually starts in one or more areas of the mucosa that lines the inside of the intestines.
The damage to the intestinal wall caused by the inflammation results in a wide variety of symptoms and complications.
In the United States, the incidence (number of new cases) and prevalence (number of people who have the disease) have increased steadily during the last 50 years.
Crohn's disease can be a debilitating illness. However, with medical treatment and other measures used to reduce the discomfort of flares, most people learn to cope with the condition. Almost everyone with Crohn's disease can live a normal life.

Lecture 1: The Dialogue IndustryIn this argument Dr. Markham argues that the Dialogue industry has been dominated by western, liberal assumptions. Dialogue tends to deliberately exclude conservatives.
Lecture 2: Learning from IndiaIn this lecture, Dr. Markham examines the nature of the dialogical enterprise in India. He demonstrates that the assumptions made about the nature of dialogue are completely different then the interfaith dialogue industry of north America.
Lecture 3: A New DecalogueIn this lecture, Dr. Markham revists Leonard Swidler's famous Ten Commandments for Dialogue. Dr. Markham suggests his own list of commandments, which are shaped by his encounter with Dialogue in India.

When I try to start the Terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal), it does not start. I get a "Starting Terminal" entry in the taskbar. After a few seconds, it goes away. No terminal appears. (Other applications launch correctly.)
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, and connecting via Remote Desktop. (On the client, I'm using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection for Mac; on the server, sesman.)
I've checked the following log files, but no messages appear: debug, messages, sesman.log, syslog, and user.log.
ps ax | grep -i term does not list the terminal -- not even when the taskbar shows "Starting Terminal". (I can still get a command line by sssh'ing in.)
What should I do? I'm at a loss about how to diagnose and fix the problem.
Thanks for all the good suggestions. When I launch gnome-terminal from xterm, I get the error below. I'm not sure what to do about the error, though.
gnome-terminal: /build/buildd/cairo-1.10.2/src/cairo-image-surface.c:1320: _pixel_to_solid: Assertion `!"reached"' failed.
As for other terminals, I get the same error message when I run Byobu Terminal. And guake didn't install properly from the Software Centre (fixing guake seems beyond the scope of this question). However, xterm runs OK.
Also, I checked my
.bashrc file, and it seems fine.
What should I do now? I'd rather not use xterm as my primary terminal.
Update 2
Forgot to check the Google before posting...
This is apparently a known issue. The solution is to turn on a desktop background.

WEIRTON - Noting the upcoming holiday season is about giving to others, two local businesses have teamed up with the Weirton Area Chamber of Commerce to lend a hand to some local organizations.
On Saturday, along with the Weirton Christmas Parade and other holiday-themed activities, a collection will be held to benefit three area agencies. Organized by Wine and Beverage Merchants of West Virginia and Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home, items collected will be donated to the Weirton Christian Center, the Salvation Army and the Community Bread Basket.
"This is the time to remember the less fortunate," Nick Latousakis, owner of Wine and Beverage Merchants, said.

Beginning at 2 p.m. Saturday, a collection truck will be in the Main Street parking lot of Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home. Volunteers will be on hand to collect donations of new socks and gloves for the Weirton Christian Center, new toys for the Salvation Army and non-perishable food for the Community Bread Basket.
Latousakis and funeral home owner John Greco explained their involvement in local organizations such as the Christian Center and the United Way has shown them the need in the community.
"We just want to make everyone's season brighter," Greco said.
Fact Box
The charity collection will take place beginning at 2 p.m. Saturday in the parking lot of Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home. Items being accepted are new gloves and socks for the Weirton Christian Center, new toys for the Salvation Army and non-perishable food for the Community Bread Basket.
Monetary donations also can be accepted, with checks made out to the individual organization of the donor's choice.
Weirton Area Chamber of Commerce President Brenda Mull said the chamber is proud to partner with the organizing businesses and provide an opportunity for residents to give for the benefit of others.
Mull said it has been good to see so much charity from Weirton in helping others in need, whether it be locally or across the nation.
"We don't want to forget the needs in our own community," Mull said.
The collection is the latest activity taking place Saturday and revolving around the annual Weirton Christmas Parade. While the parade is set to begin at 6 p.m., several other events will take place throughout the afternoon, including pictures with Santa Claus, the annual Christmas tree decoration contest and a craft show all at the Millsop Community Center. A model railroad exhibit will be on display at the Weirton Area Museum and Cultural Center.
"We encourage people to come early," Mull said.
In addition to the activities, parking on Main Street will be restricted beginning at noon Saturday, with traffic restricted from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.

At work, I'm developing in PHP, MySQL, Javascript, HTML. I use Ubuntu, Apache, Eclipse, Subversion...
At the moment I'm interested in object-oriented design and development, and I'm constantly trying to improve my skills in this field.
I'm also interested in getting "old" projects out of their rotting state: refactoring, and dealing with legacy code. Unfortunately, we don't have much time to do this at work right now.
At home, when I have some spare time, I also like programming. I tried some Nintendo DS programming in Lua, C, and C++. In the process, I learned (basic) OpenGL and wxWidgets on desktop computers, too. I also used Git, GitHub, and Google Project Hosting for personal projects.
Besides programming and computers, I'm a total music (metal/rock) and movie (fantasy/horror/sci-fi) geek. I like going to live gigs, eating in nice restaurants, and travelling to countries I never visited before.

"It just shows people up the ladder... our state and federal elected officials how people in Barren County feel," said Dickerson.
One Barren county magistrate says it's his job to speak for the people in his county, and some of those people voiced their concerns about gun rights. So he created an ordinance with the hopes of strengthening Second Amendment protections.
"I was asked to bring an ordinance before the fiscal court, and I didn't realize at the time, the state had passed a statute concerning gun rights," said Barren County District 3 Magistrate Carl Dickerson.
That ordinance would have attempted to give the Sheriff's Department a role in protecting those rights.
"Basically our fiscal court telling our Sheriff to oppose the federal government in coming into Barren County and doing anything that would infringe on the second amendment," said Barren County Attorney Jeff Sharp.
Sharp says KRS 65-870 prohibits any local governments from passing any form of gun regulations, meaning an ordinance was now out of the question.
"There's criminal penalties for fiscal courts that do that. So because of that, we decided just to go with the resolution in support of the Second Amendment," said Sharp.
So Dickerson altered his plan to form a resolution that simply proclaims the county's support of the Second Amendment.
"It just shows people up the ladder... our state and federal elected officials how people in Barren County feel," said Dickerson.
That's a message he hopes will climb the ladder and reach Washington.
Barren county's neighboring county, Metcalfe, passed a similar resolution just last week, following what Sharp says was a trend set by Boone county in northern Kentucky just a few weeks before that.

I'm a full-out disaster in the kitchen. The Long Suffering Husband gave me the "Great Big Illustrated So You Can't Mess Up Cookbook" - 1,000 recipes and 3,000 pictures - on the occasion of our first Christmas together.
I don't have that many signature recipes. I've got maybe three dishes that people actually ask me how I make - pulled pork with homemade barbecue sauce, baked beans with bacon and pumpkin muffins. After roughly 16 years in the kitchen, I can make three things; pathetic. However, I know the muffins are good, because I've fed them to the Sassy Saint's friends, and they're still alive.
So, when the Little Professor's Boy Scout Troop sent out the call for items for a bake sale, I had two choices: buy something at the bakery or make pumpkin muffins. In retrospect, I probably should have hit up Gus's Goodies. Everyone would have known it wasn't mine, but it would've been less stressful.
I got up early the day of the sale, so the muffins would be as fresh as possible. The Little Professor was my assistant chef, so we got flour all over the kitchen, but that was OK, since we were making memories (and muffins).
It wasn't OK that we took longer than I originally anticipated. Things always take longer than I anticipate, which causes me to be late everywhere. I'm so notorious for it that my mother doesn't think twice about lying to me about when things start. She'll tell me a half hour, an hour before we're actually supposed to be there.
However, for once, we weren't late, but only because I moved my schedule around at the last moment. Because I had to work and the LSH hadn't been to the bake sale site before, we caravanned, and he followed me.
Traffic was awful, but this actually wasn't as bad as you'd think, because 1) we managed to be on time, anyway, and 2) my Sassy Saint used it as an opportunity to hawk baked goods to people stuck in traffic. She was literally grabbing trays of baked goods, weaving between cars, rapping on windows and making gobs of money for the Boy Scouts. She managed to sell 50-plus cupcakes. It was a good thing I was at work, because the idea of Sass out in traffic gives me vapors.
So, we managed to get there on time and with the baked goods. It was too perfect; I should've know it couldn't last. It didn't.
Sass was crossing the parking lot, carrying my beloved muffins in my one-and-only cake carrier. She tripped over nothing, the container sailed majestically up, muffins tumbling through the air to splat ignominiously on the concrete. Then, my cake carrier rolled under a car tire and was promptly crunched.
I could have wept.
"I spent all morning making those!" I vented.
"I know," the LSH soothed. "She feels really bad."
It's OK, though. There will be other bake sales. I can buy another cake carrier. I can make more muffins. But there is only one Sassy Saint.
Thank goodness for small favors.

Palladino: Wilby under radar, for now
WATERBURY -- Wilby High boys basketball coach Alan Piccolo is delighted that his Wildcats are nicely positioned "under the radar" of city basketball.
That subradar position will not last much longer.
The Wildcats improved to 4-0 Friday with a decisive 74-44 victory over Holy Cross at Tim McDonald Gymnasium. Wilby did it with remarkable quickness and accurate outside shooting.
The Wildcats hit 10 3-point field goals, five of them from Denzel Mitchell, three more from Taifa Wright. They also dazzled with speed.
"Wilby is probably the most underrated team in the league," said Cross coach Ed Generali. "How about the quickness? That is not just a two-man team. They are athletic, and they rebound the ball."
The two men were impressive, for starters. Wright led with 24, Mitchell added 22, with five steals, and the supporting cast was strong. Lateef Bilewu chipped in six assists and six rebounds, and Kenan Jasavic added nine rebounds.
"We come to compete every night," Wright said. "We go hard at practice, compete for spots, compete for time, and come out on the floor and produce."
Wright said it all about the Wildcats when he said of the team, "We're fast, we rebound and we run."
Ah, that's the key issue for the 'Cats: rebounding. Wilby is gifted on the perimeter. But can the Wildcats compete in the paint?
"That is definitely an area of concern," Piccolo said. "We are not as big as other teams. It is something we stress every day in practice. We work on rebounding, boxing out and closing out shots."
The strength, of course, is the play on the perimeter and, as Mitchell stressed, defense, too. Wilby caused 26 turnovers, but committed only 11.
"Our defense is where it's at," Mitchell said. "If we keep on playing defense, we're going to be good. If Taifa and I keep producing, we've got the team around us."
The Crusaders (2-2) received eight points, nine rebounds, three assists and three steals from Chris Anderson, but are struggling to find a starting combination.
"We'll keep working at it," Generali said. "We've got some younger guys out there that we are counting on being good players in the future. We're trying to find the right combination. It was a different starting lineup tonight. We're searching."
Wilby is searching too, for its place in the Naugatuck Valley League title conversation. Piccolo, though, is pleased that Wilby is, for now, just a whisper in that discussion.

Quick question, what colors does the NXT color sensor support? Is it the entire rainbow or only specific colors?
It depends on which version you're talking about.
NXT 1.0 Light Sensor: This sensor should detect up to 100 shades from white(100) to black(0).
NXT compatible Hitechnic Color Sensor: This sensor will detect 17 colors including white(17) and black(0) or 100 shades from white(100) to black(0).
NXT 2.0 Color Sensor: This sensor can detect 6 colors including white(6) and black(1).
To complete the list (even though it is not backward compatible with NXT) - EV3 Color Sensor: This sensor can detect 7 colors which are the same as the NXT 2.0 sensor plus "No Color"? Yes, according to LEGO's website, this new sensor can detect when there's no color. Does this means white or that the detector is not sensing a color? This needs to be validated too.
This is one area where, as new versions are coming out, the possibilities of the sensors are diminishing.
The NXT 2.0 Colour Sensor can detect black, blue, green, yellow, red and white but cannot distinguish between different shades of colours (for example, different shades of green).

I haven't seen Cho'gath picked as top lane in tournament games for much of season 2. Is this a "meta thing", or what are the reasons behind this?

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The reason as far as I understand it is that he has no good getaway techniques, making him a champion who is much more vulnerable to ganks than other selections. His only real getaway technique is using his
However, with the changes in Season 3, which are supposed to give the jungler less overall influence and power in a game, we may see a resurgence of Cho'gath in top lane since the threat won't be quite so high, thus lowering the risk-to-reward ratio.

Exercise might be the last thing on your mind after you give birth, but it's worthwhile. In fact, exercise after pregnancy might be one of the best things you can do for yourself. Follow these tips to keep exercise after pregnancy safe.
Regular exercise after pregnancy can:
Better yet, including physical activity in your daily routine helps you set a positive example for your child now and in the years to come.
Exercise isn't thought to have any adverse effects on breast milk volume or composition, nor is it thought to affect a nursing infant's growth. Some research, however, suggests that high-intensity physical activity can cause lactic acid to accumulate in breast milk and produce a sour taste a baby might not like. If you're breast-feeding, you can prevent this potential problem by sticking to moderate physical activity and drinking plenty of fluids during and after your workout.
If vigorous activity is a priority during the first few months of breast-feeding, consider feeding your baby before your workout or pumping before your workout and feeding your baby the pumped breast milk afterward. This can also help you stay comfortable while you're exercising. Alternatively, you can simply avoid breast-feeding your baby right after your workout. After months four to five of breast-feeding, physical activity has less of an impact on your milk because your body produces most milk at feeding time.
In the past, health care providers often instructed women to wait at least six weeks after giving birth to begin exercising. The waiting game might be over, however. If you had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery, it's generally safe to begin exercising as soon as you feel ready. If you had a C-section, extensive vaginal repair or a complicated birth, talk to your health care provider about when to start an exercise program.

Its already close to mid August, still haven't release?
Its already close to mid August, still haven't release?
The first news will be released end of this month, with the demo possibly out next month. Be patient. Relax. Watch the Olympics or something.
Information will be released when SI are good and ready.
If you cant find any info on FM09 yet, then logic dictates that SI haven't released any yet, does it not?
As Goofus says, be patient, it's really not the biggest of deals.
may be FM9 is the last version or nerver release. I hate FM live
its too late guys(at least for me)
but its up to SI,and you cant help it
They are most likely too busy with FM Live, which is going to fail no doubt
Stuff like this is comical people complain there's nothing on FM and that it not out yet blah blah, then when it comes out they complain saying it shouldn't be out yet because of bugs
The game will be announced towards the end of the month. As a tester, I'd very strongly urge you not to draw any conclusions about the game simply from the timing of the announcements. Wait until you see what's coming before writing SI off.
Chris, I get the impression that from your post your liking the game then?
Last edited by Frazza Pee; 10-08-2008 at 10:39.
There is a guy also asking about the release date being announced yet and i will give you the same rant i gave him.
If you cannot find any official features on the footbal manager or sports interactive wesbites officially publicised you are not going to get it on these forums from fans like your self.
I can't beleive there is another of these threads, well, acutally I can. A guy with 659 posts surely knows how to use a search?
If you notice, the two of the quotes were by members who have a combined post tally of 7 (surprise surprise)Originally Posted by ched
I dont mean to be funny but there has been three or four of these threads in the past week or two, it gets annoying. But in the future, do a search
You're not though.
I never assumed you were a good poster because you have 600+ posts.
Hope they're going to have Playmaker and Target man options in player instuctions in FM 09 rather than how its been in previous FM's
We'll be probably impressed with the new game as well. I'm just wondering what their focus was on this time, new features or improved features? Not that I expect an answer, just talking to myself. I can't help that you're reading along as well :-)
@Nep I think he means the often-suggested option to choose to which player to pass the ball to, as a target man. No use passing to the striker with an accelleration of 3 when you're on the counter and he's still standing still when there's also that pacey winger on the other side of your target man. That kind of thing.

There's no physical intimidation going on, just the threat that I could lose easily the best job I've ever had
Towards the end of the month much will be revealed by Miles.
Lets not get hot under the collar now
So don't take any complaints to heart, but try to understand how people feel when not a newbie, but someone with 4 years experience does the same as the uneducated newbies who don't bother reading any rules.
Having said that, I'm just as eager as you to see when Miles comes up with that news :-)
Fifa Manager have released their news.
CM have released a look at their new match engine(which is pretty spiffy)
FM have not released anything.
But as the saying goes, they save the best for last!
Now I knew it and I will remember it.
As has been said already, SI have planned information regarding FM09 to be released in late summer, towards the end of August. This has been the plan for ages as you can see here, nothing has changed.

WLU Study Not A Threat
The local community should not be concerned with research being done at West Liberty University on the Francisella tularensis bacterium, as professor Joseph Horzempa and his students are studying a weakened form of the bacterium, Horzempa said.
West Liberty officials said some local residents expressed concern following a Nov. 18 story in the Sunday News-Register about Horzempa's research. The professor assured that all his research is being done under the guidelines of the National Institute of Health and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and there is no cause for concern.
Horzempa said the weakened version of Francisella tularensis being studied is not a health threat.
"We do not have a virulent form of Francisella tularensis here at West Liberty," Horzempa said. "We work with the LVS strain which is an attenuated (weakened) form of the bacterium that is not a serious health threat. This organism is exempt from the select agent list of the United States Department of Health and Human Services and the United States Department of Agriculture.
"Strain LVS can be safely used in the existing facilities at West Liberty since this organism is not virulent and is not a select agent."
Horzempa said the dangerous version of the bacterium will be researched by his team at a lab at the University of Pittsburgh where full precautions will be taken.
Horzempa first became interested in this bacterium during his time as a post-doctoral research scientist at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in 2006. He was the first person to discover that the bacterium could invade human red blood cells, a significant find since scientists know of only a handful of bacteria that can do so.
"We are in the process of forming a collaborations/consortium agreement with the University of Pittsburgh Regional Biocontainment Laboratory in which their staff, at their BSL-3 facility, will conduct experiments using the select agent F. tularensis strains," he said.
Horzempa noted the research will adhere to institutional and federal guidelines regarding select agents, including but not limited to background checks, enhanced security, proper containment of the organism and adherence to CDC regulations.
