tracert is a command in MS-DOS command prompt to trace the route to an IP Address. Is there any command in the Gnome Terminal equivalent to this?
Install the traceroute package via terminal by running:
After that, type this in the terminal:
For example:
you can also use web-sites as well:
As an alternative to traceroute, you might use mtr, it's like traceroute on steroids.
From the package description:
mtr combines the functionality of the 'traceroute' and 'ping' programs in a single network diagnostic tool.
As mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host mtr runs on and a user-specified destination host. After it determines the address of each network hop between the machines, it sends a sequence ICMP ECHO requests to each one to determine the quality of the link to each machine. As it does this, it prints running statistics about each machine.
mtr-tiny is compiled without support for X and conserves disk space.
To install it:
Usage example:

I believe this has changed. You no longer type the traceroute command line with the "ip/website url" configuration. Instead you will need to type:

Hearing music that isn't there
Besides hearing music that isn't there, such people often have no other psychological complaints. Now Ramon Mocellin and colleagues have described three typical cases and proposed a tentative neurobiological account of why the condition occurs.
Case one was an 82-year-old patient who lived in a remote farm house. She reported loud music to the police and even sent her husband driving round the neighbourhood looking for the source. She eventually realised the music was a 'trick of her imagination'. Apart from deafness, the woman had no other neurological or psychiatric abnormalities.
Case two was a 62-year-old surfer. He heard the opening bars of Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child for six months, when there was really no sound there. This man had mild deafness and smoked cannabis but otherwise had no other relevant medical history.
The last case, a 78-year-old, was profoundly deaf, had Alzheimer's disease and lived in a care home. He heard hymns and songs that were popular in the 1940s and 50s. Although he had cognitive impairments associated with dementia, he had no other psychotic symptoms besides hearing music that wasn't there.
Ramon Mocellin and his colleagues explained that people with musical hallucinosis generally realise that their auditory experiences are a trick of the mind, thus distinguishing their symptoms from the hallucinations experienced by people with psychosis, who generally believe their unusual perceptions are real.
As demonstrated by the above cases, musical hallucinosis is often associated with deafness and Mocellin's team think the condition may reflect the spontaneous, aberrant firing of those brain cells whose job is to process music, if there were any to be heard. Higher brain levels then seek to make sense of this spontaneous firing, often drawing on musical memories in the process - hence the common experience of perceiving music from previous eras.

I will hear/sing a catchy tune in my head from time to time and a minute or two later my friend will humm the same tune...this hapenned to me on a few occasions with different people, first i found it was just coincidence, but it keeps happenening occasionnaly. I have no explanation.Delete
- Anonymous4:54 pm
You were probably unconsciously humming the tune, your friend heard it and began humming it. People often ask me if I know I am humming. I do know, but because they have mentioned it I assume they are annoyed so I stop.Delete
I have also heard music in my head that I am not purposely hearing. If this were my biggest problem I would be one happy camper.

Im 30 years old, not hard of hearing. I personnally love my quiet enviroments. I love to hear the music my mind makes up when I sit and relax. The only thing is, I wanted to know if others have similar effects..

I am 32 years old and I hear it too and the music is not always the same every night and changes... and it's not the same tune over and over again. Also it's very pretty music. However it's music that is VERY complex with many instruments... some even were as if I had never heard of before.Delete

I hear music at night all the time, usually just before I fall asleep. :) It used to scare me, I thought I had a mental illness because nobody else could hear it. But I've learned to enjoy what my head plays to me!Delete
Usually my mind composes something original that I at least have no conscious memory of hearing. I love what my brain comes up with. I hear and make new songs from so many styles: Jazz, Classic, Rock, County, Pop, Old 30s music, strange drum dances. I don't know where it comes from, I'm not very creative and I have no Musical talent. If I did, I think they would be good songs lol!
I think it's worth noting for people that are worried that there is a phenomena called hypnopompic images that can cause visual and audio hallucinations.This could be responsible for music happening when falling asleep.
- Anonymous12:06 pm
When I first lay in bed at night with my eyes closed, the most fantastic music comes to my mind. Usually, I am performing a song with a very large band playing all types of instruments. I am amazed at how great both lyrics and music are and wish to God I could remember them. I open my eyes and I cannot remember anything. If I could, I would be one of the most accomplished song writers of all time. :)Delete

This happens to me all the time. I started recording the melodies. My friend is a composer and is writing them for me with the instruments I've described. I didn't know the name of some of them and can't read music. Keep a phone by your bed to record the melodies. I believe we all have latent abilities that seek expression.Delete

I used to hear things when I was younger... I haven't for a couple years now at least. I'm 22 now. I used to hear things like choirs, classical music, tribal drum beats, etc. It was almost always while I was trying to sleep at night. Why would a young person with no hearing or mental illness hear things?ReplyDeleteReplies

I am 37 and often hear 1 or 2 individual strikes of what sounds like a bongo or congo drum as I try to fall asleep. It is clearly sounding from within a few feet of me. I have checked with neighbours to confirm they do not own any drums of this nature or otherwise. It happens in different locations when I am away from home too and is very clear.Delete

If you are hearing music around the time you wake up or go to sleep, it is probably Hypnopompic Images (fall asleep) or Hypnogogic Images (wake up).Delete
A lot of people fall asleep with a piece of music going through their head and they may also wake up hearing music.
HG and HP images are hallucinations that appear when the mind is in differing stages of the sleep cycle. An example of a HG image would be if you were having a nightmare and you woke up and still saw some part (monster, ghost, etc) of your dream while you were awake that fades seconds later.
These hallucinations can be visual, you can hear, smell them, or feel them.
I've had HP and HG images frequently my whole life, and I compose songs before bed (HP) and sometimes I'll wake up to a cheetah on my ceiling (HG).

I used to love to fall asleep to the sounds of my minds music. Any instrument you can imagine. But that's also how I think; often in images or in music. As I have aged, I find myself thinking in English. It's neither as fun nor as beautiful.ReplyDelete
Have you ever heard of synesthesia? It's the crossing of senses. When we are born, all of our senses are connected; with time, those connections are winnowed, but they remain. If you hear music, it could be part of how your are wired. It's just how you think.

I'm a 23 year old female and this has been happening to me since my early childhood. It doesn't happen very often, but usually it sounds like classical music and lasts for a couple of minutes. I enjoy it, but I am curious to know if it's related to any physical or psychological disorders.ReplyDelete

Hey, it's the 23f with the classical music again: I remember thinking without language too! It was so natural, immediate, and emotional. Then came verbal English around pre-school, then later I saw written English in my mind's eye, and sometimes I think in verbal German, "feeling" the meaning of concepts I don't know the words for. When I create art, I drop language. It's kind of like meditating. I totally forgot about thinking without language but I'm so glad to be reminded!!!ReplyDelete

I was beyond tired and I've been having immense stress lately so I don't know if that's what caused it. I wish I was musically talented enough to recognize the notes that were being played so I could hear it again.

And, there was something else to prevent this. (I don't know what side of ear that makes you hear music) Cover your left ear or just lean to left so that the left ear would be covered up.

I am 18 years old and although it hasn't happened recently, I sometimes hear choirs singing or songs I know of but in really good detail e.g. I can hear all the drum beats in the right places and the bass etc. when I have only listened to the actual song a few times or wouldn't be able to know when the drum beats etc. came if i was asked. I did have hearing problems when I was younger meaning that I had to have gromits and have a hole in my eardrum repaired. Could this be to do with it?ReplyDelete
This is weird as well but I can 'click' my ears almost as if you're moving a muscle and I hear a clicking in my ears, it can also happen when I swallow, does anyone else who hears music have this ability??Replies

Although i do not hear music when there is nothing playing, i do hear the "clicking' in my ear when i swallow, yawn etc. After doing some research iv'e learned that when you swallow your eustachian tubes open up, this allows pressure changes in the center of your ear. The "click" sound is the pressures trying to equalize.So its perfectly normal :)Delete

Well, I hear music and as well as screams that was not even there. I am not deaf or having a disease of any kind. My mind or imagination just went wild that it drove me crazy.

I found this article while doing some research on schizophrenia. Not trying to alarm anyone, but just trying to help. If you hear music, please go see a therapist of some sort and at least have yourself checked out. If you do have a mild case of schizophrenia, the early detection is helpful. Our dear family member was not diagnosed until 60 - we all wish she had been helped earlier.ReplyDelete

I used to have the problem of hearing a song repeated over and over - especially when trying to sleep. I have loaded relaxation music onto my IPOD and let it play all night at a volume that I can just barely hear. Haven't had a problem since I started this about 2 years ago. I really don't notice the music from my IPOD, but apparently, my brain can't think of other music while it's playing. The music that I chose is instrumental and has no strong melodies. It's been such a relief not to have the problem anymore.ReplyDelete

I do not have a hearing problem. Not that I know of at least. People tell me I don't listen. I will ask people a question and want to know the answer, but somehow have to ask them the question a few minutes later again. I always thought my memory was the problem not my hearing because when they tell me their answer I will suddenly remember. I hear music too. I thought it was real at first to because I could hear the music with my ears, but after asking people around me about the music and them telling me they don't hear it, I know that it's not actually playing. I think it's strange however because my ears are still hearing it. I don't know what this is. I have had episodes where I have heard stuff in the past. It was lots of people talking, and predictions. Tonight a song kept saying 911, it has me wondering why I even hear music at all. Would love to hear others' experiencesReplyDelete
I am a 28 year old Male who, after a pretty horrific bicycle wreck without a helmet became epileptic. It was not diagnosed until I had a seizure on my bike and wrecked it again, a few months later (now) I had another seizure this time while just sitting at my desk. The seizures I get are classified as partial complex meaning I am unconscious before during and immediately after the event. ie I remember sitting at the computer and next thing I know I am in some paramedics arms trying to bring me back to consciousness.ReplyDelete
Since the last seizure I have been hearing music coming directly from objects that produce white noise. For example a Journey song from the air conditioner. I know what most of you are saying about hearing it IN your head, I do that too, but this is like its coming from a radio, I can get closer to it or farther from it.

Only creepy a few times, and only if you start thinking of voodoo metaphasical shtuff.

Well, I am glad I found this. Once a while ago, I heard marching band music off and on one day, but didn't think too much of it. I am singer and music didn't seem so strange, although marching band music is not something I would pick out to listen to. I didn't think anything of it. But yesterday, on the bus, I thought I heard cars honking in the distance and protestors shouting and blowing whistles. I had just passed the protestors (Con Ed strikers in NYC), but I knew that the sounds were in my head, I couldn't still be hearing them. Last night, though, I tried to go to sleep with the fan near my head and heard the loudest New Orleans band. It would only stop if I turned off the fan. So there must be something to the white noise that does this. On the bus, there was white noise as well. I don't have injuries or illness, but I do get migraines. I started searching the web to see what might be causing what happened to me yesterday. I am glad to see that there seem to be similar stories.ReplyDeleteReplies

I have recently, 2 days tops, began hearing stuff, like a distant radio playing. I have been under much added stress lately, but I have definitely had much more stressful times in the past. I turned off the fan, air conditioner, etc, any white noise and it quits. I can cover my ears and it quits. It is not constant, definitely not loud, but loud enough I went searching for the source. I have very good hearing and cannot tolerate 2 dialogues at once, for example if I can hear 2 televisions going at once, even though the other is much lower volume in another room. This hearing noise, mostly music, is new. I am wondering if it could be caused by stress. I am 48F with depression managed well for years, my father had paranoid schizophrenia and I know this is not 'voices' but it did worry me enough I googled it. Not something I'd feel comfortable with in asking friend, hey, you ever hear noises that aren't really there? Odd thing is, it has quit while I was typing, lol. I have no idea but am glad it is actually a phenomenon and not the straight jacket for me type of thing.Delete

Is there any current research for those that are not elderly or hard of hearing. After researching it online it seems the Dr's/Scientists think that it is related to deafness in some way. I can see the reasons behind that hypothesis but I do not fit any of the "normal" parameters for someone who hears music, and I hear it every night. I can often hear the words and can tell what the song is. It varies, like a radio. Sometimes I am so convinced that it must be a cell phone or something,I have to get up and check. It does disturb my sleep, but mostly I am fascinated and would like to learn more. If anyone knows of any on-going research please post here. ThanksReplyDelete

I hear music when I'm laying down, it ranges from psych rock, choir music, mariachi and classical. I have excellent hearing. For a while I would. Hear Jefferson airplanes white rabbit song and for a bit I thought it was coming through air vents. Now in a single house and I still hear it. It's good music though so no complaints. At least I don't have radio ads in my headReplyDelete
I almost always hear symphonic/brass music when I lay down or even just close my eyes when I am tired. Sometimes it may be a worship song or mainstream song but in a more subdued tone.

I am a 74 year old male with a hearing problem (two hearing aids.) Hearing music in my head started right after I retired about 6 years ago. I started to stay up late, seams like that's when it started to happen. While on the computer I would actually hear DJ's and couldn't figure our where it was coming from. My wife thought I was crazy. I'm getting used to it, the only time it bothers me if when it keeps repeating a portion of the music over and over again like a stuck record. My doctors have heard of it but don't understand or have knowledge of why this happens. I asked one doctor while he was checking my heart if he could put the contraption on my head and try to hear my music. He stated "will both go to the nut house." Thanks to this artical my wife no longer thinks I'm crazy, just a little different.ReplyDelete

This morning it happened again , before i fell asleep i was talking to myself , philosophizing about life and existence (something i like to do that often brings answers) i was thinking in my head why i/we think in language and in our familiar voice, i was thinking about the nature of thought and the symbols (words) we use to communicate to ourselves and others..then i fell asleep, a little while later i woke up, eyes closed but conscious, to the sound of 20's jazz.. brilliant music , multiple instruments and variations also my head was tingling as it was playing :)

Lately, the music has been very vibey and makes me want to dance and laugh for joy. Many great composers agreed that their music came from God directly. I believe all is good with those that hear like this.

Snow thawed , I went to town and heard it all the way to town. Then I knew it was in my head. I am 79 partially deaf, and isolated. Drs say get a brain scan but I think it is harmless.

That's because this particular lounger has so much to offer that you just can't find in any old lounger. First is the fact that it's constructed of beautiful and strong Acacia wood that handles the rigors of weather and time with ease. Secondly, the comfort of this chair doesn't come from some ridiculous cushion or pad, it comes from the natural feel and the extremely high quality of craftsmanship of the chair's components. That means your lounge chair fits you the way it's supposed to, the materials are comfortable and soothing, and the thousandth time you spend an afternoon outdoors lounging in it will be as good as the first.
Oh yeah, and this lounger costs about the same as some of those cheap aluminum and vinyl jobs, too, so you're getting way more chair for the money. More comfort, better quality, and better construction. These are things that appeal to lots of people, so if you feel like you're one of those who's tempted by quality and value you can't make a better choice than this Acacia Contemporary Wave Lounger Chair for your lounging needs.

- Preheat the oven to 475�F (245�C). Put a heavy baking tray in the oven to get hot. (They both need to be really hot before cooking the pizza.)
- Place the dough on a floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out as thin as you can-about 10-12in (25-30cm) in diameter. Brush the hot baking tray with oil, sprinkle with semolina, and place the dough on top.
- Add the tomato sauce over the pizza and smooth it out evenly with the back of a spoon, then spread the spinach on top. Dot with small spoonfuls of ricotta, season with salt and pepper, then bake for 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.

Baby shower w/ baby #2?
I am 15 weeks pregnant with baby #2, who will be 2 1/2 years younger than my son. We aren't going to find out what we're having, and didn't with our first. I always thought it was "rude" to have a second baby shower, but the more I look at things the more I am realizing how many things I am going to need, even though I saved just about everything from my first. But now it's the double stroller, new bottles, things that weren't saveable (ie: the exesaucer that my son destroyed!) items for the nursery, etc. Opinions are greatly appreciated! So confused!!!

i belive every child should be celebrated, so i say go for it. those who think its rude dont have to come, or be invited. good luck and congrats.posted 01/17/2008 by 2bemommyof3
I am also having my second child and my oldest son is now 2 1/2. Instead of doing a traditional shower for the new baby, my husband and I opted to do a cookout. We're inviting our friends and family to help us celebrate the arrivial of our son. We're going to decorate the table for the cake but that's about as much decorating as we're going to do. We are going to register for some things but mainly just bibs, onesies, bottles, etc. Nothing too extravagant. We still have most of the big stuff and what we don't have, I'm sure we'll be able to get when we need it. Also, we didn't include anything on the invite about bringing gifts but do plan to put the registration cards in with the invites. I don't want anyone to feel obligated to bring a gift. I agree that every baby should be celebrated and if you comfortable with the idea, go for it! Good Luck!posted 08/30/2010 by Jax&JonahsMommy
I agree that every child should be celebrated! I suggest giving a small list of items to the person throwing your party as suggested gifts. I am also 15 weeks pregnant and have started thinking about the whole shower thing. I suggested to my sister (who will throw my party) that we keep it to just family, include ALL family and not just for women. I'd also like to make the focus more on our daughter becoming a Big Sister! I think this is a great way to get her involved and excited. With family there is less stress about whether or not they bring gifts.posted 02/25/2008 by gibsonmama
i am pregnant with my second child, my first will be 6 1/2 when i deliver. is it okay to have a baby shower?posted 07/19/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm going to have one. Our first child is 10, so we've waited a very long time. Plus, aside from family and very close friends, many of the people in our lives have changed. Not to mention how baby items have changed in the past decade!posted 03/12/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I say go for it, but I would make it a meet and greet rather than a shower. Throw a get-together for family and friends to come by and see the baby once he/she is here. You can still register and include the registry in the invitations you send out. Also, I would make it a couple's party since it is the second baby. My friend just had her fifth baby (4 with her husband of over ten yrs, the 5th with her new husband). She had a shower for the last baby because she had not expected to have anymore and had gotten rid of everything (her youngest was 4). Also, it was the first baby for her new husband. One more thing to think about is a beer and diaper party for your husband. He supplies a keg, friends supply diapers. Do both together so that the guys have something to do while the girls do their thing.posted 08/11/2011 by omeaux
I'm having my second in 3 weeks and I have showers scheduled for this month. My friends want to do them and celebrate the new little one, and I say let them. I didn't ask for this, I was unsure about etiquette for #2, but one of my friends said that doing a diaps and whipes type shower to replace things that you would not have saved is perfectly fine. If it is something that others want to do for you, why deny them the opportunity to feel like a blessing to you. I wouldn't suggest insisting on someone throwing a shower for #2.posted 09/06/2011 by PMC girl
im having the same issue/worries. im 27 weeks, my son will turn 3 about 2 weeks before im due. im not 100% sure as to what im having, baby didnt want to cooperate during the ultrasound. so if i have a girl and dont have a 'shower' i will have nothing for her other than what i buy myself. if i have a boy, ill have some clothes that he could wear, but most of the stuff i had with him i have sold over that last couple years...either because i just needed the extra money, or because i had no room to store it. i still have his bed and most clothes, but other than that i have nothing. and i would feel like im being selfish by having another shower. a lot of friends that i work with are asking about a shower, but none of them knew me before i had my son. i thought about not having a shower at all, and just buying enough outfits to get baby thru the first week or so, and then having a 'welcome baby' party after its born. and that way, even tho it sounds rude, i can avoid getting only green and yellow stuff. suggestions/opinions???posted 07/03/2011 by babyxoxoxgurl
I let my mother-in-law throw my baby shower for my first child and it was totally awful. I had no idea what I needed so I didn't register and the games and activities she planned were just not me. Now my daughter is 12 months old and we are expecting a boy in 2 months and the last thing I wanted was another shower planned by someone else. I decided to throw one for myself so I could keep it low key. I'm serving sandwiches and cookies for anyone who comes so I don't think it is selfish. And now I know exactly what items I need so I just registered for a few things.posted 06/14/2011 by lizwharton2007
I don't think it's rude at all. I am also pregnant with our second child and our daughter will be two years and four months old when we welcome itty bitty. I have always heard that it is "tacky" to have a second one. I had two showers with our daughter, and would love to have another one for this baby as well. I see nothing wrong with getting together with family and friends to celebrate the impending arrival of one of God's greatest blessings. I do however think it's a little much include registry information with the invitation. If someone cares about your registry, they'll ask you for info. I constantly reminded my friends that presents were not neccessary. While the presents were greatly appreciated, my favorite part was sitting down with my family and friends and eating lunch playing games and socializing.posted 01/26/2012 by SoodoosMommy

HOPE: Diehl Automotive's Corina Diehl is partnering with a local organization to give breast cancer patients "A Glimmer of Hope."
Diehl's passion for cars and for serving her customers has built Diehl Automotive into one of the region's most successful and fastest growing dealerships, but it's her passion for giving back to the community that supports her business and where she raised her family that led her to partner with the Glimmer of Hope group.
Glimmer of Hope supports breast cancer research and provides support for premenopausal women in the area who've been diagnosed with the disease. The group was founded by Wexford native Diana Napper, who created a special pin, christened "A Glimmer of Hope," after the death of a close friend who'd encouraged her to pursue her dream of designing jewelry on Christmas Eve 1990.
The design features a teardrop Swarovski crystal, symbolic of the tears shed over the disease, and is topped with a pearl, representing hope.
With the support of volunteers, friends and family behind her, Napper has sold more than 14,000 pins, adding to the more than $1 million her foundation has raised for breast cancer research.
Diehl Automotive has pledged to make a donation to Glimmer of Hope for every vehicle sold during October. Corina Diehl is hoping to raise more than $35,000 for the foundation.
To learn about Glimmer of Hope's fight against breast cancer, visit Diehl Automotive's newest location on Steubenville Pike in Robinson Township, or the flagship dealership in Butler. Visit the Glimmer of Hope website at www.symbolofthecure.com/

I'm a programmer and I need caffeine in order to do my job.
But, the paradox is - the same caffeine that enables me to do my job degrades the quality of my sleep, which in return degrades my ability to do my job the next day.
How do I get out of this vicious cycle? How can I cancel caffeine's negative effects on sleep?
I want to be super productive every day; not just every other day.
Note: quiting caffeine is out of the question.

Very often the energy released in large-scale events (e.g., earthquakes, meteor impacts, etc) is described in terms of some number of 'tons of TNT'. This may be all well and good for those with an intuitive sense of big explosions, but specifically, how many joules are there in the 'ton of TNT'? I can work out how many tons of water can be flashed to steam if you give me joules, but 'tons of TNT' means nothing in this regard, without a conversion factor. What is the conversion factor?
It is the energy released when TNT detonates - approximately 4.184 gigajoules per ton. Although TNT is under oxidized and can react further and so it releases about 2x more energy when it mixes with oxygen. But the bomb makers use 4.184 gigajoules per ton as the conversion factor.

MECHANICSVILLE, Md. – The points spread tightened up in both the 250 and 450 Class on Saturday as the 24th Annual Red Bull Budds Creek National showcased ultra-competitive racing action for Round 5 of the 2013 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing. Reigning 450 Class champion Ryan Dungey captured his second overall victory of the season in the 450 Class. Blake Baggett returned to his winning ways from 2012 as the defending 250 Class champion secured his first overall victory of the season with a big win in Mechanicsville, Md. Saturday's win marked back-to-back Budds Creek victories for both riders in their respective classes.
Yoshimura Suzuki's James Stewart laid down the fastest lap of the day in the 450 Class, where he came into Moto 1 with the first choice of gate pick. However, it was Toyota/JGR/Yamaha's Justin Brayton and Smartop/MotoConcepts Racing's Mike Alessi who went head-to-head for the Motorcycle Superstore Holeshot, which Alessi secured at the last second. From there, Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto grabbed the early lead and immediately put a gap on the rest of the field.

Some members of Congress have proposed making it mandatory for all employers to use E-Verify—the federal, web-based program through which U.S. businesses can verify the work authorization of new hires. However, mandatory E-Verify without immigration reform is not a solution to the problem of unauthorized immigration. Addressing the reality of a workforce that relies on unauthorized immigrants requires a more comprehensive package of reforms—including a legalization program that brings unauthorized workers out of the shadows, and the creation of sufficient legal visas for the immigrant workers America needs. Mandatory E-Verify alone is likely to harm the economy and U.S. workers.
Immigrants in Louisiana.
- Louisiana was home to 152,002 immigrants in 2009 [1].
- The foreign-born share of Louisiana's population rose from 2.1% in 1990 [2] to 3.4% in 2009 [1], according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
- Immigrants comprised 4.3% of the state's workforce (or 94,080 workers) in 2009 [1]. Unauthorized immigrants comprised 2% of the state's workforce (or 40,000 workers) in 2010 [3].
Mandatory E-Verify without immigration reform will result in lost tax revenue for Louisiana.
- Households headed by unauthorized immigrants in Louisiana paid $80.7 [4] million in state and local taxes in 2010, according to estimates [4] prepared for the IPC by the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy.
- If E-Verify is made mandatory, unauthorized workers will move into the unregulated, underground economy where they will be paid under the table. As a result, Louisiana will lose $9.5 million in income tax revenue from these workers.
Unemployment in Louisiana will likely INCREASE as a result of mandatory E-Verify.
- Louisiana's civilian labor force [5] is 2,060,700 workers, and its unemployment rate is 8.2%.
- Surveys of E-Verify [6] have found that between 0.8% and 2.3% of workers received an erroneous response from E-Verify, meaning they had to either correct their records or lose their jobs. Applying the error rates to Louisiana, we estimate that between 16,486 and 47,396 U.S. citizens and legal workers in Louisiana would either have to correct their records to keep their jobs.
- An estimated 0.5% of workers receive an erroneous final non-confirmation. In Louisiana, up to 10,304 U.S. citizens and lawful workers would receive an erroneous final non-confirmation and lose their jobs.
E-Verify without comprehensive immigration reform will burden Louisiana businesses.
- Currently, only 2,237 businesses in Louisiana are enrolled in E-Verify, which amounts to 2.7% of all Louisiana businesses. Mandatory E-Verify would mean a 3,600% increase in the number of businesses using E-Verify in a short time period.
- Small businesses would be hardest hit. In Louisiana, there are 80,188 small businesses [7], and 97% of all state employers are small businesses.
- Bloomberg estimated that E-Verify would cost small business $435 per year. That amounts to more than $34.9 million per year paid by small businesses in Louisiana to use E-Verify.

Making Bucknell your home away from home.
Bucknell is your home away from home, and Housing Services helps make that happen. We make sure your life on campus is comfortable, happy and healthy.
Do you like to live in a quiet space? No problem. Want to live with people who share the same interests as you? Check out the Residential Colleges and Affinity Houses. There's a range of options on campus so that you can find the one that's best for you.
Bucknell offers student housing in a variety of settings: traditional residence halls, apartment-style facilities, small house communities (which include both special interest houses and theme houses), substance-free or quiet housing, as well as off-campus housing. Bucknell guarantees housing for all four years. Housing is managed by the Office of Housing Services.
All first-year students live on floors with other first-year students.
Bucknell continually renovates its residence halls to make them a welcoming place for students during their years at Bucknell. From traditional residence hall rooms to apartment-style living, the University offers a variety of housing options to students.
While registering for courses, first-year students can elect a Foundation Seminar that's part of our Residential Colleges living-learning communities. Students will take a class, live on the same hall together and join in discussions built around each college's specific interest — arts, discovery, environmental, global, humanities, languages & cultures, society & technology and social justice.
Students who want to live with others who share their interests can apply to live in an Affinity House or Hall. The only affinity housing option available to first-year students is Substance-Free Housing, but students in higher class years can propose new themes (or renew themes) every year.
Some students appreciate an environment with fewer distractions and a 24-hour quiet atmosphere.
All undergraduate students are required to live on campus in a University-owned facility or University-related fraternity house unless they receive formal approval to reside off campus or commute from home (with a parent or guardian in residence). Non-traditional-age students may live in a home or privately-owned rental unit.

I've got a virtual machine running on a server that I can't stop or reboot - I can't log onto it anymore and I can't stop it using the VMware server console. There are other VM's running so rebooting the host is out of the question. Is there any other way of forcing one machine to stop?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
closed as off-topic by Flexo♦ Dec 14 '13 at 23:23
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
If you are using Windows, the virtual machine should have it's own process that is visible in task manager. Use sysinternals Process Explorer to find the right one and then kill it from there.
If you're on linux then you can grab the guest processes with
As @Dubas pointed out, you should be able to pick out the errant process by the path name to the VMD
In some cases you may not be able to suspend, or for that matter take any of the "Power" actions on the VM. You may also already have multiple VMs up and running. Use this process to identify the correct PID to kill.
On Windows 7 - Open Task Manager - Look for processes with the name, "vmware-vmx.exe", note the PIDs.
Switch to the Performance tab and start the "Resource Monitor". Expand the "Disk Activity" panel. Sort the "File" column. Look for the appropriate vmdk file for the VM you want to kill. The "Image" column will have the "vmware-vmx" process listed. Note the PID.
Switch back to the "Processes" tab and kill the PID.
Here's what I did based on
a) @Espo 's comments and
I logged onto the host machine, opened Task Manager and used the view menu to add the PID column to the Processes tab.
I wrote down (yes, with paper and a pen) the PID's for each and every instance of the vmware-wmx.exe process that was running on the box.
Using the VMWare console, I suspended the errant virtual machine.
When I resumed it, I could then identify the vmware-vmx process that corresponded to my machine and could kill it.
There doesn't seem to have been any ill effects so far.
Similar, but using WMIC command line to obtain the process ID and path:
This will create a text file with each process and its parameters. You can search in the file for your VM File Path, and get the correct Process ID to end task with.

Radiation Therapy for Mesothelioma
OncoLink Team
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: May 7, 2013
Is radiation used to treat mesothelioma or just side effects/complications from it?
AnswerCharles B. Simone II, MD, Radiation Oncologist at Penn Medicine, responds:
Radiation therapy can be used in certain settings as potentially curative treatment in the post-operative setting. For patients that had surgery that removed the lung, radiation therapy can be used to treat the inner surfaces of that side of the chest to attempt to kill any remaining cancer cells not removed by surgery. Clinical trials are currently underway to evaluate the role of radiation therapy to an intact lung for patients who have undergone lung-sparing surgery, and it is not clear how beneficial this may be. Radiation therapy can also be targeted to the surgical incision site to prevent the cancer from recurring locally at that site. For all patients, radiation therapy can be used to treat lymph nodes in patients that have had their cancer spread to the lymph nodes adjacent to the lining of the lung. Without surgery, radiation is most often used to treat problem spots to relieve symptoms, such as pain or trouble breathing. For patients with disease limited to one side of the chest, there are a few clinics testing the use of radiation therapy to shrink tumor and improve local control for patients who have not been treated with surgery.

5 Scenes From History That Everyone Pictures Incorrectly
Whether it takes the form of a somewhat historical film like Braveheart or an only slightly more fictionalized epic like Lord of the Rings, we do love watching some old-timey combat. Vikings, Samurai, Roman Centurions -- there's just something so much cooler about the way men fought back in the old days.
And, of course, we're about to tell you that almost everything you think about those old wars is completely wrong. In reality ...
#5. Real Vikings Were a Bunch of Fussy Dandies
Quick, imagine a Viking. Even if you know your history enough to realize they didn't have horns on their helmets (which would be super inconvenient in battle), you're still imagining a hardened, filthy brute smelling of stale sweat and English corpses. These were the manliest of men, guys who fed on boiled lamb's head and treated their clothes in cow piss, for crying out loud. Vikings were grimy, gritty, poop-encrusted barbarians, and proud of it.
Actually ...
Well, yeah, if by "poop-encrusted barbarians" you mean "the most dedicated dandies of their time." With their carefully coiffed hair and trimmed beards, history's Vikings would have scoffed at Chris Hemsworth for looking like a Nordic hobo who spent a night in a dumpster.

"What woman would have me?"
It turns out, the only thing Vikings loved more than a fine day pillaging and slaughtering was the sort of personal grooming most of us modern people wouldn't dream of bothering with. Seriously, they were way, way into that shit: Pretty much every non-slave member of Viking society wore absurdly complex hair and beard styles they freely peacocked with to display their status in the community. Most owned elaborate grooming kits that included tweezers, razors, tiny scissors, and, presumably, the new album of that bone-horn player you've probably never heard about.
The humble comb alone was such an important part of Viking society that no warrior worth his mead left home without one. Women carried their elaborate combs in a special purse made solely for that purpose (yes, Vikings had purses), while the men kept theirs in special carrying cases slung from their belts (yes, Vikings had fanny packs). Those combs saw a lot of use, too. Vikings were the Dark Ages equivalent of greasers, constantly grooming their 'dos while somehow still managing to look badass.

"Rinsing with the blood of your enemies always gives you that extra bounce and volume."
Even their famous Nordic blonde hair wasn't always natural: Vikings were pioneers in seafaring, axe-murdering, and cosmetology alike, and their lightly colored manes and beards were often the product of bleaching. This practice also had a practical element: For several months of the year, everyone's bathtub was literally a block of ice, so bleaching one's hair and beard (and regularly combing them) kept lice and other unhygienic elements at bay. Don't think for a second there wasn't a beauty element involved, though. Vikings were totally all about lookin' fine: Even their most legendary kings were saddled with nicknames such as Harald the Fairhair instead of the more common but less awesome kingly monikers like "Great" or "Magnificent."
From the standpoint of a modern "Vikings were brutal barbarians" view, the end result of all this grooming, plaiting, and (presumably) nose-hair plucking was surprising: When they were not actively pillaging and raping, Vikings were actually quite a hit with the ladies all over the place, because they were just so goddamn fabulous.

#4. Samurai Were Actually Embarrassed of Their Swords
Oh, come on. This, at least, just has to be bullshit. A quick Google image search of "samurai" returns a gazillion results, 99 percent of which depict the famed warriors with sword in hand. There are drawings about them using swords. There are photos. Hell, pajamas, katanas, and weird hairstyles were their whole thing: Samurai damn well lived by the sword. What else did they have?
Actually ...
Yes, the samurai did have an ancient tradition centered around a weapon. However, it sure as shit wasn't the sword. In fact, ignore every movie and video game about samurai, because they only carried swords as awkward last resort weapons.
Dimitar Marinov/Hemera/Getty Images
"Only an asshole brings a sword to a bowfight."
Kyuba no michi, "the way of the horse and bow," was there centuries before any semblance of Bushido. It's exactly what it says on the tin: Samurai were all about flinging arrows at peasants from horseback. It makes sense, really -- they were professional soldiers, and in that line of business you quickly learn that only idiots fight the enemy at stabbing distance. Bows were revered over swords to the extent that many Japanese nobles actually downplayed their swordsmanship. After all, pointing out how great your sword skills were was basically announcing that you're a terrible archer. And saying "I'm a terrible archer" was more or less like saying "I'm neither a man nor a warrior."

"A real man knows how to shoot his shaft."
The introduction of firearms in the 16th century finally killed the samurai supremacy as mounted archers. As they left the battlefield and settled for a new life as bureaucrats and officials, their formerly reviled swords started taking on actual importance as elaborate status symbols. And because bows weren't really an option anymore, the sword became the go-to weapon of the honorable, sword-wielding, bushido following and completely fictional samurai they retroactively invented to feel better about their crummy desk jobs.

"Oh, and every samurai's sword is the same length as his dick too."
#3. Gladiators Were Basically Fat Pro Wrestlers
Turn on Spartacus: Gods of the Arena or watch Gladiator and it's easy to get the impression that ancient gladiators were all either lethal bodybuilders or, at the very least, kinda-doughy-yet-vicious Russell Crowe-types. Of course they were in decent shape -- fighting to the death was their sole job description.
Actually ...
Well, that's what we used to think, anyway. Archaeologists recently dug up a whole pile of gladiator remains, and it seems the famed warriors of the arena would need to do some serious cardio if they ever wanted to grace the cover of Men's Health magazine.
Yes, we're saying it looks like gladiators were total fatties.
Jean-Leon Gerome
"Fuck you; it's water weight."
What we tend to forget about gladiator fighting is that it was ultimately show business. The Colosseum arena was big-time theater more than anything else, and being able to deliver a good show far outweighed sculpted abs. The Roman crowds wanted to see blood and displays of great fighting skill. And what really got the crowd going was when gladiators sustained bloody, spurty wounds, yet continued to fight. Gladiator schools were well aware of this, which is why they deliberately fattened-up their fighters so they could take (and dish out) showy, yet non-fatal flesh wounds.
iSailorr/iStock/Getty Images
The Colosseum didn't fall apart. They ate it.
If the crowd was satisfied and felt they'd seen a worthy performance -- meaning some bloodshed and gutsy swordplay -- the gladiators ran a better chance of becoming super popular instead of dying. In fact, unless you were a prisoner being fed to the lions or something, the chance of dying in the arena was only about 10 percent.
Basically, this means that fights between professional gladiators were a slightly more extreme version of modern pro wrestling: scripted fights, choreographed moves, and the occasional deliberate blading to bring on the blood.
But with a better life expectancy.

To the editor:
Please, vote "yes" for the Edison Local School District levy.
As a 2012 graduate of Edison High School, I can't even imagine having gone to a different high school. The staff, administrators and students are truly some of the greatest people to know. They are supportive in the classroom, at extracurricular activities and athletic events. Edison has not only made me a better person by exposing me to such great people, but also has given me a jump start into my collegiate career.
EHS and Eastern Gateway Community College have established a partnership where students can receive college credit for certain classes without ever having to leave the EHS campus. Beginning my junior year at EHS, I enrolled in every EGCC class offered, and as I walked out of there after graduation, I had acquired 51 college credits - 60 credits would have made me a junior in college. All of these credits were expense free. Because of the partnership between EGCC and Edison, I will be able to graduate from Ashland early and save thousands of dollars.
This is all thanks to Edison High School. I had an extremely positive, beneficial and uplifting experience at Edison, and I can only hope that future generations will be able to experience the same. By voting "for" the levy, you can help keep this school of excellence with distinction up and running and give kids a memorable chapter in their lives, as I had in mine.
Many people look at the levy from the perspective of how their taxes will be raised, and they will have to pay more money each month, which is understandable. However, we need to keep in mind that Edison's millage is lower than the majority of schools in the area. The kids of Edison deserve to have continuing opportunities, don't you agree? The first step is to vote "yes" on the Edison Local School District levy.

I've recently started studying Spanish (Latin American) with Rosetta Stone. I think I'm doing trilled r's right but I'm not sure if I'm doing single r's right. Are they supposed to have a single trill, or no trill? Please help me learn how to pronounce a single r.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Encontré algunos videos en Youtube que explica los detalles de la pronunciación de la letra R, con ejemplos:
I think is very similar to the english 'r' but you have to put your tongue closer to the teeth. You can also try to understand this:
In my experience (4 years study of Castilian Spanish, 7 years of Latin Spanish conversations [mostly Colombian style]), for the Latin style Spanish at least, the single trill is what I use and everyone understands it well and I haven't had anyone correct me yet.
It is similar to the English 'r' only in the constant sound the 'r' produces. The English 'r' starts with the lips together and pointing out while pulling them back and widening them, while a single trill is more like a single roll of the tongue from top to bottom while emitting a very quick English 'r' type of sound.
Also, while you don't mention it, I think it's worthwhile pointing out that a single 'r' at the beginning of a word is rolled like a double 'rr' (alveolar trill). However, I find that a single 'r' at the end of a word is like a whispering trill with a slight English 'r' sound. In study, they might make you have the 'r' at the end be just like a strong double 'rr', but in actual conversation with Latin people you will probably never hear it emphasized like that (at least I haven't yet).
I hope that makes sense.
Say "pot of tea" out loud. Gradually say it quicker and quicker, maintaining pronunciation as best as possible. You will notice that the 't' from 'pot' and sounds less and less like a 't' and more like the Spanish single 'r'.
Actually, as you say it faster and faster, it sounds more and more like the Spanish "para ti" ("for you").
The closest sound in American English is a soft d or t. Think about really enunciating a strong d or t and then do the opposite. In both sounds your tongue taps the roof of your mouth. Whereas the tongue touches quite close to your teeth for a t sound, try moving it back towards the middle of the roof of your mouth. Tap your tongue softly as you make the sound, touching with most of the front of your tongue, not just the tip.
It's not too dissimilar to the soft d and t sounds in the following American English words:
Try saying the following Spanish words with this in mind, keeping the r's (d's) soft:
That's always worked really well for me. Hope that helps!
This is an absolutely fabulous site that not only explains the various elements of the mouth (articulatory anatomy) and how they contribute to speech, but also provides animations, audio and video. It is available in English, German, and Spanish.
I have some questions to ask you.I have tried learning Spanish on some websites, by some language learning programs and I've noticed that: -The single "r"sound: They taught me that it's only trilled when it's at the beginning of a word or after letters l,n,s and it sounds like an English "d" in most of situations but I heard that it's also slightly trilled in the word "comer" or "tarde". -The "v" sound: it sounds like a "b" but I still hear some native speakers pronounce as an English "v" like the word "bienvenidos" or "verdad". - The "d"sound: it sounds like an English "d" but in the word "nada", I find it does not. But I do not hear the sound clearly so I can't repeat it. I hope you will explain to me how it sounds soon. Or if i don't hear the sound of any of three letters above incorrectly, please tell me. Thank you very much. Always hope for answers from native speakers.

After the computer shuts down suddenly unexpectedly without notification, is there a way to know the reason (read messages) the next time when I boot? My computer frequently shuts down, and I don't even know if it is a software problem, a hardware problem, or a firmware problem.
That would generally depend on your operating system, the type of computer you're using, and how abrupt the reboot was.
Many Unix-like operating systems (including the popular Linux-based ones) keep their logs in
Some non-Linux Unices can produce a full report of a crash whenever this happens. Check the OS docs on where the crash dump is stored, and how to read it.
If your computer has server management board, IPMI board, or somesuch, the reason for the reboot may be recorded there. Check the logs via the web interface or
If you still can't find any information, there are two cases: either the reboot is too sudden for the logs to be written (consider mounting your

Strike Splits Bus Drivers
As Maida Borelli pulls her school bus out of the Staten Island Bus Co. yard on Staten Island at dawn each weekday, crossing the picket line of striking bus drivers, she makes sure her windows are rolled up.
Usually waiting at the gates are about 100 pickets, gesturing and screaming from behind police barricades, calling her "scab," "pedophile" and many other derogatory names.
"It's a little rough out there," said Ms. Borelli, 45 years old, who has been driving a school bus for a decade. "It's humiliating, people calling you names. It's the same thing on the way in and out. It's a little tough."
It sometimes doesn't get any easier once Ms. Borelli steers the bus away from the depot and begins to navigate local roads on her route. Union-supporting residents have cut her off in traffic, yelled at her from their cars and occasionally displayed their middle fingers, she said.
As Ms. Borelli and Mike Sedutto, her union's steward, have found, crossing a picket line during the citywide school-bus strike is a tricky, even frightening, proposition in New York, the state with the highest percentage of union membership in the U.S. More school bus drivers could find themselves facing similar pressures as companies work to hire drivers and get routes up and running in the face of the strike by 8,800 striking Amalgamated Transit Union 1181 drivers and matrons, now entering its fourth week.
The school-bus companies lost an attempt Friday to force striking drivers back to work when the National Labor Relations Board dismissed a complaint against the strike.
Ms. Borelli and Mr. Sedutto are members of a much smaller union that isn't on strike, United Service Workers Union 355. All but two of the smaller union's drivers have agreed to cross the picket line. The bigger union "just decided to strike, and that was it," said Mr. Sedutto. "They never reached out to us. Do I agree with them striking? I don't know labor laws and if this is the best way of doing it. But there probably could have been another way."
Ms. Borelli said she had no choice but to cross the picket line. "I can't lose my salary, my benefits, my health insurance," she said. "It's not just losing our jobs. It's everything."
Perhaps owing to the emotions involved and the feelings of insecurity and harassment, the decision by Ms. Borelli, Mr. Sedutto and other members of their union hasn't been the norm over the long history of labor in New York. "In terms of union members breaking solidarity, at least in transit, there hasn't been a whole lot of that in the past," said Joshua Freeman, a longtime labor historian at the City University of New York.
At the crux of the issue is the decision by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to rebid the bus contracts for the first time since 1979. The busing costs have risen to more than $1.1 billion last year from about $300 million in 1994. The city says it can't bid the contracts again with existing job protections for the drivers, citing a court ruling.
Since the strike began, 49 new drivers and more than 200 matrons have been certified by the city, said Marge Feinberg, a Department of Education spokeswoman. More than 4,000 routes are still without drivers; 2,800 routes are running.
Carolyn Daly, a spokeswoman for eight of the larger companies, said the number of new drivers and matrons is expected to rise significantly in upcoming days as more drivers are trained and applications received, she said. "It goes without saying there are going to be challenges," Ms. Daly said, citing commercial driver's license requirements and the continuing strike. "But we are contractually obligated to run the buses. We can't just wait around for the workers to come back."
The hiring effort, though halting, has pleased schools chancellor Dennis Walcott. "We've got more buses on the road," he said last week. "The owners have been working very hard to get more buses on the road."
Several of the bus companies have posted ads in newspapers and on websites, saying jobs are open in all five boroughs. Others are looking for bus drivers "even out of state," said Ms. Daly.
ATU 1181 President Michael Cordiello said the city is trying to "break" the union by re-routing certified drivers from other unions. He said the union would take legal action to ensure that its employees aren't pushed out by replacement workers after the strike ends.
Mr. Freeman questions the city's hard-line stance. Many in the city are either members of a union or highly sympathetic with members of the union, he said, adding people have particular respect for "veteran workers not making huge salaries." Marc Bayard, a professor at Cornell, said hiring replacement workers as "strikebreakers" might be a "miscalculation."
The strikers said their anger about the overall situation is more directed at City Hall—and not the bus companies against whom they are striking.
"We're disappointed, but we understand their position to hire," said Andy Cappa, 65, who stood outside in the driving rain and wind Wednesday morning. "The city is putting the pressure on them. I just hope they can't hire enough."
"I understand they have commitments," said Eileen Law, a 49-year-old matron from Staten Island. "But this is outrageous."
Ms. Borelli doesn't want her counterparts in the ATU to lose their jobs. While her union isn't on strike, the action by ATU means she doesn't have her longtime matron to accompany her on her route—so drivers from her union have been trained as matrons.
City officials have allowed those drivers to become matrons, effectively splitting the number of bus routes but ensuring at least 60 buses go out each morning. And that has infuriated the drivers and matrons from 1181, who protest every morning, including the matron with whom Ms. Borelli has longed worked.
Her matron stands alongside other striking workers who jeer at Ms. Borelli as she drives past the pickets.
"It bothers my matron when they yell at me, and when she doesn't yell at me, they get mad at her," Ms. Borelli said. "Our matrons are out there picketing as well. It's an ugly situation."

I have noticed that everything I play on the black keys only sounds oriental. I wanted to know what is the standard fingering to go through this pentatonic scale?
The black keys do indeed form a pentatonic scale, with the major mode starting on Gb and the minor mode starting on Eb. Here's the full list of modes for this scale. Personally, I wouldn't call the pentatonic scale particularly oriental in sound since it lacks the most commonly associated intervals (minor second, diminished fifth) for that sound.
One common fingering for the major pentatonic starting on Gb would be 1-2-3-1-2 (thumb is 1). Another (that involves less third skips on the thumb tuck) would be 1-2-1-2-3.
Here's a very interesting jazz improvisation over a pentatonic scale to get your creative juices flowing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkpQbjkRbzs

When was the last time you had the chance to learn about nature and yourself, all at 50 feet up in a tree and for as little as $15?
You have that chance now! Welcome to Tree Top Excursions, a new program at the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center near Mansfield. Jody Rice, the new training and development specialist at Charlie Elliott, has led rope-assisted tree climbs since 2003.
His customers have varied from scientists collecting seeds in the rain forest canopy to teenagers with learning disabilities building confidence 15 feet off the ground. The response, however, is often the same.
"They think it's so cool!" said Rice, who met the woman who would become his wife, Naomi, on a climb.
The program at Charlie Elliott, one of seven regional education centers operated by DNR's Wildlife Resources Division, is part of Canopy-Adventure-Research-Educational Technical Tree Climbing, or CARE TTC. Participants outfitted with helmets and harnesses pull themselves up on ropes attached to the limbs of a large tree. (At Charlie Elliott, the "tame" tree is a 90-foot-tall willow oak nicknamed Charlie.)
Adventures can branch into swinging and limb-walking during introductory climbs. More involved outings include navigating tree-top ropes courses, tackling wild trees (those not in an established climbing grove) and even spending a night in the canopy – an event dubbed "ZZZs in the Trees."
Leaders set boundaries, but climbers decide their comfort level. "It's very individualistic," and safe, Rice said.
Tree Top Excursions at Charlie Elliott are currently open to groups and will be offered to individuals starting this spring. Participants with special needs, such as people in wheelchairs, can be accommodated.
Fees range from $15 a person for introductory climbs to $125 for ZZZs in the Trees. Group costs are $200 for the first 10 participants and $20 for each additional person. Preregistration is required. Participants should be 8 or older.
Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center, named for the first director of what is now the Wildlife Resources Division, offers outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, shooting and birding along with educational programs and a conference center, banquet hall and hotel-styled lodging, all within an hour's drive of Atlanta. The 6,400 acres include Marben Public Fishing Area and Clybel Wildlife Management Area.

Phoenix Foundation is one of six finalists in a special Facebook giveaway for an automated external defibrillator through a Facebook giveaway promotion by AED, a medical supply company based in Brentwood, Tenn. The company created put the contest out earlier this year, requesting that those interested in earning a free unit write a short essay on why their company is deserving of the item. Greg Hays responded and Phoenix is now in the homestretch for the defibrillator.
"This is a nationwide giveaway and Phoenix is a finalist," said Hays. "This is all based on a vote through Facebook, so we encourage everyone to get onto our Facebook page and follow the link to AED.com and vote for us."
Only one vote per person will be allowed through AED.com's Facebook page and voting ends Monday, Aug. 26. There is no fee to vote, and the item would be a great addition to the Phoenix Foundation as plans are well under way to reopen the former Carmi Township Hospital adjacent to Phoenix Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
Hays' essay, titled "AED can save lives in rural America," includes the following message: According to AED.com, approximately 1,000 people per day fall victim to cardiac arrest. Survival rates may jump from 7 to 40 percent when an AED is available. I am an ACLS nurse in a small town in rural Illinois, currently without an active hospital. I work in a long-term care nursing facility without an AED. Transport time to a hospital can reach up to 45 minutes. The gift of an AED would save lives in our rural healthcare facility, to where budget constraints sometimes will not allow for the purchase of a life saving AED. Thank you for your consideration in my request to fulfill my goals as a healthcare professional."
In addition to the link off Greg Hays' Facebook page, the Carmi Times has also implemented a link for convenience to area residents. Hays' essay is currently in third place, so votes are needed to secure the top prize.
A vote for Hays' essay at AED.com will benefit the entire community and will be a great step forward in saving lives in White County.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
StackOverflow = Programming (code, algorithms, languages, etc)
Programmers.SE = Programmers (people, techniques, etc)
Here's the relevant parts from the two FAQs (emhpasis added):
Stack Overflow is typically for problems that involve code. So you'll have a piece of code that doesn't work. You've debugged the problem, searched the internet but still haven't worked out what's going wrong. You'll strip the problem down to the minimum amount of code and post that.
Programmers is for problems that affect programmers that don't involve code. This covers things like "How do I retrofit automated tests into legacy code", "How do I give a presentation on design patterns" and (possibly) "Should I include this information on my CV?".
However, I should point out that there is a grey area which includes questions like "Which algorithm should I use to do this?" and "Which language is most appropriate for this problem?". Though you should have a specific problem in mind when you post these.
What Programmers is not for is "What language should I learn next?", "What chair should I have?", "Should I take this particular job I've been offered?".
