What is Her-2/neu?
Her-2/neu, also called Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2, is a cellular receptor. A receptor is a protein that resides in the cell membrane itself. It actually spans the membrane and protrudes into the cell (called the intracellular domain) on one side and out of the cell on the other side (the extracellular domain). A variety of proteins found in the blood pass by the receptor, some may recognize it, and a smaller fraction will bind to it. Binding to the extracellular domain of the transmembrane receptor initiates a variety of signals within the cell including those commanding cell division, growth, and differentiation. These signals are only transmitted, however, once a protein has bound to its complementary receptor on the cell surface. The protein in the blood stream that binds and activates the Her-2/neu receptor is called Human Epidermal Growth Factor. When binding occurs, specific signals such as cell division, growth, transformation and differentiation, are transmitted from the extracellular domain inside the cell. This is part of a normal physiologic process. However, some cells can have too many Her-2/neu receptor proteins on their cell surface, and thus may receive too many signals. The multiple signals may result in aberrant cell function and even cancer.
The receptor protein Her-2/neu is encoded by the DNA found on the c-erb B-2 gene. Each cell is supposed to have two copies of a single gene (one inherited from each maternal and paternal inheritance). For unclear reasons, some cancer cells have multiple copies of the c-erb B-2 gene. This is known as gene amplification. Multiple copies of the gene lead to too many proteins being produced. This is known as protein overexpression. The significance of protein over production is still not entirely clear but it has become a marker for certain cancers. For example, it was noted that about one fifth to one third (20%-30%) of all breast cancers over produce this protein. Much research has been done to try to understand how these tumors may be different from other breast cancers. There are ongoing studies for Her-2/neu in disease prognosis, predicting response to treatment, and estimating disease recurrence. Data is somewhat confusing and sometimes contradictory, but overall, Her-2/neu positive breast cancers tend to be more aggressive in that they grow more quickly, may be resistant to some available chemotherapies, and are more likely to recur following treatment.
How is Her-2/neu overexpression diagnosed?
In order to diagnose Her-2/neu overexpression or c-erb B2 gene amplification, actual breast cancer tissue is required. When patients undergo a biopsy, the tissue is sent to the pathologist. In addition to histology (looking under the microscope to see what the cells actually look like), several additional tests are routinely completed. Testing for Her-2/neu overexpression has become the standard of care for breast cancer.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is the most widely available and least expensive test for Her-2/neu overexpression. The laboratory uses an antibody that recognizes the Her-2/neu cell surface receptor. These antibodies are specifically manufactured so that one end recognizes and binds to the receptor protein and the other end is labeled with a color or a dye that is easily detected under the microscope. The antibody is allowed to mix and bind with the cells for some time. The bound antibody will stay adherent to the tissue sample, but the unbound or excess antibody will be washed off. The pathologist can then look under the microscope and evaluate the intensity of the color or dye as an indication of the amount of Her-2/neu present on the cell surface. An IHC test is reported as a score of 0, 1+, 2+, and 3+. A score of 0 or 1+ implies very little bound antibody and therefore, likely very small amount of Her-2/neu. A score of 3+ is considered strongly positive with Her-2/neu overexpression. A score of 2+ is thought to be weakly positive, and, some studies indicate, may require further evaluation or testing. The IHC test is far from perfect as the quality varies from one laboratory to another. Different laboratories obtain antibodies from different manufactures and may have different affinities to the Her-2/neu. The IHC interpretation is also somewhat subjective as different labs have different reading systems in the criteria of what they call 2+ as opposed to 3+. Another reason for discrepancies in IHC reporting among reputable laboratories is tissue preparation. Cancer tissue preparation can affect the avidity with which the antibody may bind to Her-2/neu.
Fluorescence in situ hybridization, or FISH, is a more expensive and technically more difficult test that is also used to ascertain Her-2/neu overexpression and is often used to confirm a 2+ IHC score. The FISH test has the advantage of looking at each tumor cell individually. Probes tagged with fluorescent labels are used to identify the c-erb B2 genes themselves. If more than two fluorescent lights per cell are noted, then the cell is thought to over express Her-2/neu. Agreement among FISH laboratories is more reproducible; its disadvantage is that the expensive technology required is not often available in smaller clinics and rural hospitals.
In advanced disease, there may be Her-2/neu proteins in the blood. Blood tests may be done to try to discern the level of Her-2/neu. Rising levels may indicate disease progression, while a falling level may mean the opposite. Dr. Paul Zhan, an attending pathologist at the University of Pennsylvania, believes that could be a powerful office tool to follow disease progression; but the initial diagnosis should be made on biopsy proven tissue.
There are other tests used to diagnose Her 2/neu expression, but they are largely experimental. The PCR test, for example, has received much attention lately. Although it is considered to be a more sensitive test, Dr. Zhan notes that it is difficult to interpret. One needs to measure the Her-2/neu expression on the actual cancer tissue, not on adjacent normal tissue. When doing IHC or FISH, the pathologist can look under the microscope and see which cell is cancerous and which is not. The PCR test does not use whole cells, rather just the DNA from those cells. Thus, it is impossible to see if the DNA came from a cancer cell or a normal cell.
What does this mean about my cancer?
Her 2/neu overexpression is considered a poor prognostic factor in breast cancer. Overall, Her-2/neu strongly positive tumors tend to be a bit more aggressive and tend to recur following therapy. However, there is a new chemotherapy drug called trastuzumab, (Herceptin, Genentech), that was FDA approved (1998) for advanced stage Her-2/neu positive breast cancers only that is inappropriate for Her-2/neu negative tumors. For more details on Trastuzumab please see Her-2/neu Part II next week.

Is there a formal security proof in the shape of reduction that states that if an attacker manages to break the collision resistance property of a cryptographic hash function (a random oracle) he will break the pre-image attack as well? To rephrase it: is first pre-image resistance as hard as collision resistance s.t if you break collision resistance you break first pre-image attack?
Does a break in a collision resistance property of a hash function by definition implies an attack at the first pre-image attack?
This relation obviously doesn't hold.
If you define "break" as faster than what's expected of an ideal hash function
If you define "break" as faster than a certain computation bound
Use an ideal hash function. It has collision resistance of $2^{n/2}$ and first pre-image resistance of $2^n$. So an attacker with a computational bound between $2^{n/2}$ and $2^n$ can find collisions but not pre-images. For example an attacker who can perform $2^{160}$ oracle queries on a 256 bit hash function will most likely find a collision, but he probably won't find a pre-image.

Is it possible to have a custom action List Item Menu in a document library on a specific content type, created in SPD 2010?
In code I know is possible, but I'd rather try it out in SP Designer.
Also, is it possible to enable specific security rights during its creation?
Is it possible to have a custom action List Item Menu in a document library on a specific content type, created in SPD 2010?
It's definitely possible.
Open the document library in SPD. You will have "Custom Action" button on the ribbon, where you can select "List Item Menu" custom action:
Then, on the form which appears, use vertical scrollbar (many people don't notice it's there) to scroll the contents of the form down. You will see "Rights" box there:
Unfortunately it's just a plain text field, you will get no hints of what should be there. Fortunately I can tell you that :) You must use values of the SPBasePermissions enumeration there. AFAICR, you can define several values, separating them by ",".
Btw, another trick here is that you can use
Well, as you can see, the interface is not very obvious, but nevertheless it exists :)
In addition to Andrey's answer...
You can use Javascript to find the content type for the selected documents, after the menu item is selected.
Put this in your "Navigate to Url" field in the custom action.
and put this function in your master page or a form html webpart on your page
then whatever you want to run on a specific content type put in here
Tested in SP2010 Foundation.
Here are the two solutions, powershell and also VS2010 feature, both tested: http://zoraradosavlevici.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/add-list-item-menu-custom-action-to-a-specific-content-type-sp-2010/

It's said that 50mm is close to what the human eye sees and is a very versatile focal length in general, especially good for street photography which is what I'm most interested in. That being the case, if I have a cropped sensor (1.6) would I better off with a 35mm prime since it would give me a field of view similar to a 50mm lens (35 X 1.6 = 56) as opposed to a 50mm prime which would give me a field of view similar to an 80mm lens (50 X 1.6 = 80)?
Yes, the nifty fifty for a crop frame would be closer to the 35 prime, but ultimately the order of the day is still choose the lens you need for the shot you want. If you wanted a telephoto shot, then a 50mm wouldn't be the right choice for any sensor size. If you want 50mm effective, then a 35mm prime will give it to you on the crop sensor.
Depending on who you ask, the diagonal field of view (cone of visual attention) of the human eye is somewhere around 54 degrees depending on the person, which is about half-way between those two focal lengths on a full frame sensor. So, in theory, on a crop sensor you should be much wider than 35mm, somewhere around 25mm on a Canon or 28mm on Nikon (or other 1.5 crops) to approximate the FOV of the human eye.
So... If your two choices are 35mm or 50mm, go with the 35mm if you want to be close to this.
The answer totally depends on what you need and what you shoot. If I were you and;
If I'm into street photography, I'd buy 35mm. Also if I were to shoot at narrow places such as indoor parties etc. I'd buy 35mm again.
But if I plan to shoot staged portraits using models/make-up/planning then I'd go for 50mm.
Cropped sensor will give you a view like 1,5x35mm=52,5mm on Nikon and 1.6x35mm and 56mm on Canon that's true. But it won't change angles, perspective and distortion resulting from a wide-angle/telephoto lens design. I mean 35mm on cropped sensor won't give you the same compression as 50mm gives on full frame. So it's best you go for what you need like I told above. Good luck.

Bunches of roses in vibrant hues, a miniature Eiffel Tower and other Parisian-inspired decor provided a pretty backdrop for the Newport chapter of National Charity League Juniors' mother-daughter event at the Island Hotel. Styles from Bloomingdale's Fashion Island delighted the 500 lovely ladies (and a few gentlemen) in attendance, and they went wild when sixth-graders and their mothers took the stage to show off a look or two. Co-chairwomen Jenny Gehl, Laura Baskurt, Monique Tipton and the rest of the guests also were treated to a luxe silent auction, Champagne and tasty cuisine (courtesy of the resort's Executive Chef David Man and his team). As the day came to a close, all agreed that the NCL Juniors once again fulfilled their mission of fostering mother-daughter relationships through philanthropic, cultural and social efforts.

SuperMax Super Stainless Razor Blades for $0.60
SuperMax is the 2nd largest maker of razor blades in the world and is sold in more than 140 countries. Their Super Platinums were easily my 2nd best seller. Sadly, the Super Platinums are no longer available. I decided to try out the Super Stainless to see if they would make a good replacement and am happy to say yes! I was very pleased with the shave I got for these blades.
Is there a downside? Maybe.
These blades give a nice shave but are not known for their longevity; I can get 2, sometimes 3 nice shaves out of a blade before I feel the need to retire it. If you aren't picky or have fine hair you may be able to strech them more. At my introductory price of 60 cents per 5-pack, these are an outstanding value even if they only last 2 shaves. Give 'em a shot, I think you will be pleased.
Min shipping is $2. I'd love to be able to charge less, but that price reflects the cost to ship even the smallest order. Pick up a a few of these (or add some other blades) to defray the cost.

Wait a minute. Wouldn't shaving like a man involve dull, painful razors rather than the world's sharpest ones? This is like saying "Bathe like a MAN!" and then selling aromatic, moisturizing bubble baths made of naturally gentle, tear-free ingredients.
do you sell a full kit (Not just the razors)?
@coldtwelve: Right now I have brushes and blades.
I'm working with a distributor and am going to start stocking Parker razors. I should have more info on that soon.
I wish you lots of luck with your business. Safety razors are the way to go... I switched to safety razors a few years ago and have looked back since.
really interested in Safety Razors. Just so lost on the subject.
How about the other ones, then, if these don't stand up for very long?
@coldtwelve: Check out here http://www.reddit.com/r/wicked_edge. Very helpful
If anyone tried to place an order and got an out of stock message, that has been corrected. I entered the wrong amount in my inventory tracker so it was giving incorrect out of stock messages.
If you want to shave like a man, don't shave at all.
They gotta be better than those King Of Shaves razors... right?
@shavelikeaman: What Razor/Handle do you recommend?
@coldtwelve: Merkur and Parker are two good razors I often recommend. You can typically pick up a new one of either brand for somewhere south of $30. I like both and use both. I use a Merkur to shave my head and a Parker for my beard.
@shavelikeaman: last question.. sorry
I usually keep a goatee, sometimes full clean lined up beard. You still recommend something like this for me?
@coldtwelve: Absolutely.
But I'd recommend getting a RazoRock safety razor to start with. They're cheaper and made of brass rather than pot metal, so theoretically they're more durable.
That and you're not out $40 for a razor alone if you decide it's not for you.
Anyone else interested in traditional wet shaving can check out Badger & Blade, too. It's a wet shaving forum with loads of good info.
@coldtwelve: Yes. I used to be the owner of a goatee and had no problems maintaining it with a safety razor.
I'm interested but your site kinda sucks. Why is the only picture a tiny thumbnail that I can't even see?
Are these blades for a DE safety razor? I can't even tell from your descriptions.
I can always use more blades but....
@portezbie: Are you blind or just illiterate?
You all wiped my stock out so I have expired to deal. I didn't expect to move that many blades in month, let a lone a single day.
Nearly every order has already shipped out (I have two left that will ship Friday morning)
Thanks for all the orders, and feel free to ask any questions here or by email.
They might be cheaper, but wouldn't a blade that lasts 6 months (like the Schick Quattro) end up saving money in the long run? Plus you can get them for fairly cheap online: http://www.razorbladereview.com/schick-quattro/

Let $p(n)$ be the product of the exponents of the prime factorization of $n$. For example, $$p(5184) = p(2^6 3^4) = 24 \;,$$ $$p(65536) = p(2^{16}) = 16 \;.$$ Define $P(n)$ as the number of iterations of $p(\;)$ to reduce $n$ to $1$. For example, $P(5184) = 3$ because $$p(5184)=24, \;p(24) = p(2^3 3^1) = 3, \;p(3)=1 \;;$$ and $P(65536)=4$ because $$p(65536) = 16, \;p(16)=p(2^4)=4, \;p(4)=p(2^2)=2, \; p(2)=1 \;.$$ Finally, define $m(k)$ to be the minimum value of $n$ such that $P(n) = k$.
Q1. What is $m(k)$?
(I ask this question out of curiosity, not because it is part of a research program. It was previously posed on MSE.)
It is easy to see that $m(1)=2$, $m(2)=4$, and $m(3)=16$, the latter because $16=2^{2^2}$. But, thanks to Calvin Lin's insight, $m(4)$ is not a power of $2$, but instead is $m(4)=1296= 2^4 3^4$. I do not know the value of $m(5)$.
Q2. More specifically: What is $m(5)$?
I do know that $m(5) > 2 \times 10^8$.

Living in the arctic during the winter is a very unique experience. Besides the extreme cold, snow drifts, and blizzards, you also have to deal with continuous darkness. Where I live the sun does not fully rise for about a month beginning with the winter solstice. After continuous darkness for the past month, I am so glad to see the sun rise all the way over the horizon.
Back in December the sun began to rise later and set earlier at a rapid pace until we reached the winter solstice. Then, for the next 28 days we only saw the glow on the horizon around 2 in the afternoon. Now the sun is slowly coming back and staying for a few hours during the day.

i love pan fried chicken usually with some tumeric, salt, pepper, rosemarry, and evoo. Anyways, I don't like to get my thermo dirty everytime, and sometimes i get it a bit overdone, sometimes the oppsite
There isn't one.
The only reliable way to determine doneness of a chicken breast is to use a thermometer. If you didn't have a thermometer then you would have to cut open the breast to confirm. Outside of those the only other method is experience. e.g. knowing that it takes 5 minutes per side to cook a breast of X size, in Y pan, on Z stove, at M heat.
Given that you own a thermometer, it's kind of silly to ask for another way. Use it.
You can work on learning the finger test, but during your first experiments, I would cross-check this with your thermometer to make sure you know what it feels like.
Personally I prefer to only trust a thermometer, as then I can be absolutely sure (within the margin of error for the device) that my food contains no living harmful bacteria to hurt anyone I am serving.
I do it restaurant style. I sear it nice and golden on one side, flip, sear a minute or two on the other, and then bung into a 350 degree oven. 12-14 minutes and it's done. (Obviously you can only do this if you have oven-safe frying pans). No need for thermometers, maybe a quick poke to double check.

I've been kind of looking at a few of the successful game developers over the last 3-4 years and have noticed that the ones I've looked at and have had a lot of success worked in industry first before going indie. The developers in particular are:
- 2D boy, EA
- Notch, King.com
- Jonathan Blow, Not sure but I think I read somewhere he worked in industry first.
I'm curious to know peoples thought on if it's better to work in industry first before going indie and by industry I mean game industry?
I personally have been a programmer for several years, so I'm not sure how much this adds to the equation.

Looking for cities in Arizona especially I'd like to have them with that has population attributes. I've checked Arizona's geospatial websites and none of them I have found.
Does anyone know where I can find them ?
What about using the TIGER/Line Files consolidated by city? LINK They are available by state. FTP is blocked at my current location so I can not link you closer to the actual data.
Alternatively you could use the census block line files and simply aggregate all of the census blocks into whatever unit you liked. I am assuming that the census blocks follow the city boundaries, which they may or may not.
Not sure how to get links into comments so the edit is in response to the first questions:
It depends on what type of analysis you are looking to do with the data, but in general, polygon to point should not be an issue. ArcMap (Info) has a feature to point tool. Alternatively, ET Geowizards (free functionality) can handle this.
GeoNames will probably be useful. It offers three different Cities datasets as text files. The most detailed includes cities that have population of at least 1,000 or are the seats of an administrative division (e.g. local capitals). Each record includes population and have a single coordinate-pair, so they are easily imported as points.
Look into the National Historical Geographic Information System; it is an excellent resource to access contemporary and historical Census demographic and geographic data. You can get any Census enumeration unit you want and select any number of demographic attributes that are easily merged in. I imagine you'll want the Census-designated places file.
The data are available as polygons, which you can convert using Feature to Point with an ArcInfo license; however if you aren't licensed for ArcInfo there are many scripted solutions floating around the web to do this. I use this script, others may have different solutions:
Rather than going through Census 2010 data you can see here:
an database of 2000-2009 population of Arizona cities. Than you can download from here the urban areas of US and extract only Arizona urban areas. Then you can join the table with the shape in SAGA or QuantumGIS.

Everything sounds good. It seems like there are a lot of roles for the number of people though.
Everything sounds good. It seems like there are a lot of roles for the number of people though.
There are, but there's the possibility that once all roles have been allotted some of them will be left out.
Including the multiple werewolf roles and multiple vanilla villager roles, I put in more roles than there are players. When all the roles are randomly dealt out, there's a few roles left unused. If the Thief role is in play, the Thief can choose between these roles at the start of the game.
It means there could be a Seer who knows there's no GA, a Vigilante who knows there's one less wolf to deal with, or a Wolf who knows there's no Seer. It changes the metagame.
Are you going to run it in here or in the concurrent thread?
The other thread, I think. Leaves this one open for Werewolves-related jibber jabber that isn't a game.

Last thing at night Witch is contacted to see if he/she wants to save the target.
Witch dicks around.
Witch gives answer.
So i doubt it will elongate the night too much more than we're used to.
Alright I'm starting the game. You can find it in the other thread, here: http://forum.destructoid.com/showthr...=1#post1115538
Clownbaby, your PMs are full.
And hope the GM has space open in their inbox.
That shit fills up FAST, especially if you have a chatty wolf team (or indecisive one).
What is the PM limit?
Also, I'd be interested in knowing how the Villager to Werewolf win ratio has changed. Might go through the main thing and figure it out later.
I just came back from a three-day weekend to find out that I'm dead in the main game! =(

auto models?
Maybe there is something already.. my designer is failing to load data trough direct proxy unfortunately (although configured properly and works in browser) even the load data menu is grayed out.
But I have this question: Isn't it going to be useful if designer gives you option to convert loaded data into model entries that you can just edit later. Sometimes I pull very large data rows from sql, I spend time designing the database.. why should I spend more time into typing all those column names in designer. This should be fairly ease to do.
As i said.. maybe is already there... Cannot say for sure.. direct store does not even try to load data.

Hi, Do you have correct setting for 'Ext Direct API' in project settings?
Are you getting a ack message on project open - 'Successfully updated Ext Direct API'.
That is necessary for the load menu to be enabled.Bharat Nagwani

What New Traders Need to Learn
In general, I would highlight three areas of learning that I would want to have if I were looking to start out as a trader today:
1) Macroeconomics - I would want to have a grasp of intermarket relationships and how monetary policy affects interest rates, currencies, and economic growth. This information may not determine the trade over the next half-hour, but it does govern the market's longer time frame picture and help determine market trends. A lack of understanding of macroeconomics and intermarket relationships has been a major reason many short-term traders have lost money fighting the market over the last few months.
2) A Trading Theory - A trader needs a framework for thinking about price movement and making sense out of the steady stream of price changes across markets. I'm not sure that it matters greatly whether traders subscribe to one theory or another, but I am certain that having an explanatory framework is better than not having one. Personally, I have found Market Profile theory to be an especially useful way of conceptualizing market action across time frames. Other people find Elliott Wave theory or any of a variety of technical analysis frameworks to be useful.
3) Observation - Hands down, the smartest thing I ever did when learning how to trade was to watch markets for a long time before trying to trade them. I collected charts of intraday action and, each day, looked for the best trading opportunities. Over time, I started to see repetitive patterns among those opportunities and those became important to my subsequent trading. Watching not only price, but volume, sector behavior, intermarket action, and such measures as NYSE TICK help you recognize the dynamics of breakouts, reversals, and trends.
Knowing what I know today, if I were starting out as a trader or advising a beginning trader, I would advocate at least a full year of learning, observation, and practice trading before putting money at risk. I strongly believe that a major reason new traders don't succeed is that they fail to put in the necessary time to learn markets and acquire skills.

Dr. Brett,
I read this interesting post on the Freakonomics blog that gives further supports the importance of training for sucessful trading.

This fits with my own thinking, for what its worth. It is important to recognize that a strong feedback loop driven experience is critical for success. This can be either driven by implicit and intuitive understanding or by analytical rigor. It probably requires both to reach top levels. The dichotomy is something I'm still struggling with myself.
The strength of technical analysis is that it is a data based understanding. Look at many traders who fail, what do they read or watch? I imagine they read value centric opinion pieces versus data centric focused. It is not bull or bear but developing a connection, repeated practice of prediction becomes like a motor skill, thus as the body can predict and control the arm, so too this the natural development of the predictor.
But markets are obviously difficult. We add in the quantitative understanding, back-testing, and out of sample testing. The problem inherent are the non normal distribution and changing relationships of those factors. A choice is made, to assume the most recent data is most representative or to optimize over the entire sample. As these relationships change, an over all sample optimization will produce a non optimal result as fundamental relationships change.
Thus one may move to analytical models that can't be back tested but must be based on theoretical assumptions, future prediction models. The difficulty is to maintain the flow of the earlier to integrate the edge of the latter.
Price action is either strength or weakness, a binary condition, up or down a binary condition. Now you realize the market can't be that simple, only 2 conditions. Take all the ideas about the market from the experts and put them into a matrix.
Beyond all this is the acquisition of capital which can't be neglected and must be foremost.
- Ebisu said...
All three are important, but #2 and especially #3 are what really matter to traders; #2, if you don't have a solid theory, you cannot devise a solid system or strategy by which you can take money out of the market. And if you don't have #2, then day after day of observation won't be of much use and without confidence, trying to take money out of the market will be stressful and frustrating. You can't hear the nice messages if you aren't competent in the language in which they are conveyed.
It has taken me over 3 years of daily study and observation and testing and failures to finally feel confident that I possess #2 and #3, to the extent that I finally feel a rhythm with the markets. Such that, if I am away from my computer and can only HEAR market activity from news and not a chart, I have an accurate picture of what is going on.

CLINTON — A building at 114 Jackson St., Clinton, has been demolished. The village of Clinton purchased the building with the plan of creating more space for the fire department next door.
Village manager Kevin Cornish said the building was knocked down in December and the space will be used as a gravel parking area once the gravel has settled. Plans call for the lot to be paved in the spring or summer and eventually be included in an expansion of the fire department building.

Faster Boot with Many Devices
By Steve Sistare on Aug 01, 2014
In addition to its highly touted features such as Kernel Zones and Unified Archives, the just-released Solaris 11.2 has some nice unsung optimizations that are noticed less because everything works the same, but faster. One set of optimizations improves the scalability and efficiency of the devfsadm daemon, which is responsible for managing the namespace of devices under the /devices and /dev mount points in the filesystem. This daemon is very busy at boot time and during certain device configuration operations. For example, it accumulates 11 minutes of CPU time during boot on a system with 1000's of devices:
PID USERNAME NLWP PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND 242 root 8 59 0 73M 72M sleep 11:03 0.00% devfsadm
Moreover, devfsadm is on the critical path during boot, and many SMF services depend directly or indirectly upon it completing the configuration of /dev, including for example the console login service.
We made many improvements to the userland and kernel components of devfs, including caching, hashing, and tuning timeouts. In one test, we measure the time from typing the OBP boot command to the appearance of the console login prompt. The system is a T5440 with 4000 disk devices, multi-pathed using MPxIO, which multiplies the number of device instances. The previous version of Solaris takes over 44 minutes, and Solaris 11.2 takes just over 3 minutes, for a 13X speedup. This is an old T-series processor, and both the old and new Solaris will be faster on a more recent processor such as the T5, but Solaris 11.2 will still reduce boot times by many minutes on current platforms with 1000's of devices. Your results will vary with device count. The algorithms we fixed have polynomial time complexity, so the times do not scale linearly. If your system has only 10's to 100's of devices, you might not notice the difference.
In addition to normal boot and reboot, commands for which we observe speedups include the following (but no doubt there are others I have missed):
- devfsadm -C : Clean up dangling /dev links
- reboot -r : reconfiguration reboot
- cfgadm -al : show status of dynamically reconfigurable hardware r esources
Do you configure systems with a huge number of devices? Does Solaris 11.2 make a difference for you? Please share your experiences.

GENESEO, N.Y. – Cory Young, a senior at SUNY Geneseo from Pittsford, N.Y., recently won the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC) inaugural David J. Prior Award for an essay he wrote about an encounter he and a friend had on campus with an alumnus from the class of 1967 and his wife.
Listen to Cory Young read his essay.
The Prior Award was established last June in memory of University of Virginia's College at Wise Chancellor and COPLAC President David J. Prior. It recognizes a student whose academic career has been shaped by the transformative power of the liberal arts and sciences experience at a COPLAC institution.
Young and his friend Jake were watching dusk settle over the Genesee Valley at a favorite viewing spot on campus when they struck up a conversation with the couple. They spent the evening reminiscing, sharing their experiences and discovering more about their life perspectives.
"It was an experience I had the summer after my sophomore year while living in Geneseo and working as an admissions tour guide," said Young, a history major with a minor in theater. "Thinking that academia should be accessible, I wrote a short piece of creative non-fiction that I thought would be appealing, so I wrote about that chance encounter."
A review committee consisting of COPLAC presidents/chancellors emeritus chose his essay, "Geneseo, Class of '67," saying it is stylish, elegantly written and original.
"My thanks to Dr. Bill Spellman and the COPLAC committee for the honor and to Dr. Justin Behrend of Geneseo's history department for supporting me," said Young. "I also thank all of my friends here who helped me discover the true value of the public liberal arts experience."
Young is one of 16 presidential scholars at Geneseo and also was recently elected to the college's chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa academic honor society.

I am able to search trusted domain users in peoplepicker search box. But in central admin, when I am trying to add them as site collection admin (after finding them in people picker search), it is giving redline under the username and not allowing to add them as site collection admin.
This issue is quite common in extranet sites:
To resolve this - Under site Actions -> Site Settings -> Extranet Settings -> Manage extranet settings. Now add the people you want to have access to the site. These names will appear in the people picker so that you can classify them into groups.
Try To add a site collection administrator by using Windows PowerShell
Make sure your people picker settings in your web applications web.config match your central admin web.config.
One reason this happens is when you force IE9 (or newer) mode on the IE8-only SharePoint 2010, the people picker will give you all sorts of issues. If you changed that in the masterpage or forced it on IE try forcing IE8 mode in the F12 Developer Tools to perform your People Picker actions (both Browser & Document Mode).

The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz began the Cabinet session at Al-Salam Palace in Jeddah today with a briefing on his latest consultations with foreign officials, including a call he received from Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade and audiences he held for Ethiopian Deputy Prime Minister Hailemariam Dessalegn, Arab League Secretary General Amr Mousa and French Minister of Economy, Finance and Industry Christine Lagarde.
The Cabinet reviewed reports on the latest developments in a number of Arab countries, especially the cases of unrest that have resulted in many casualties. The ministers stressed the Kingdom's firm position that these crises must be addressed in a manner that ensures the preservation of the lives of citizens and the integrity and stability of Arab countries.
The Cabinet condemned the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by a group of Israeli extremists and another incident in which a mosque was set on fire in the West Bank. Warning that continued Israeli attacks will lead to further instability and violence in the region, the Cabinet called upon the international community to stand against Israel's unilateral, aggressive practices in the Occupied Territories.
The Cabinet also discussed a number of local issues, expressing appreciation for the endeavors exerted by Saudi youths to excel during the current period of academic testing. The ministers wished the students good luck and expressed appreciation for the commitment of the Kingdom's teachers and other educational staff.
Moving on to its weekly agenda, the Cabinet approved a 25 year interest free loan of SR 51.1 billion for the Saudi Electricity Company to finance electricity-related projects and authorized the President of the Human Rights Commission to discuss with the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights a draft memorandum of understanding between the two entities.
The Cabinet approved the appointments of Misfer Al-Basher as Administrative Consultant at the Bureau of Investigation and Prosecution (14th rank); Hamid Al-Ghamdi as Minister Plenipotentiary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Saud Al-Dayel as Director of the Department at the General Intelligence Presidency (14th rank); and Mohammed Al-Ghamdi as Director General of Al-Hadithah Customs at Saudi Customs (14th rank).

This Week's Liturgy
March 8th, 2015 (see other dates)
Third Sunday of Lent
Discussion Questions for Reading 1Select one of the first three commandments. How would the world be different if everyone lived by this commandment? Now select one of the last seven commandments. If everyone were faithful to this commandment, what difference would it make in our society? Which of God's laws do you think the world is most in need of right now? Why?
What does this reading have to say about why the sabbath day is holy? How do you and your family keep Sundays holy?
Reading 1 Exodus 20:1-3,7-8,12-17
Reading 1 ReflectionIf you have ever wondered where the Ten Commandments appear in the Bible, here is the answer in today's first reading from Exodus. These are the commandments as God delivered them to Moses on Mount Sinai. Recall that the first three commandments guide us in our relationship with God and our duties towards him. The remaining commandments guide our relationships with others and our responsibilities towards them.
During Lent we review God's moral law and decide once again to be faithful to it.
Discussion Questions for Reading 2Why do you think the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was and is a stumbling block for some people? Would it be easier to believe in a Son of God who conquered the world by military might? Why or why not? What examples can you give illustrating the difference between the wisdom of God and the wisdom of the world?
Is there anything in Jesus himself or in his teachings that is a stumbling block or an obstacle to you at this point in your life? Explain.
Reading 2 1 Corinthians 1:22-25
Reading 2 ReflectionIn Jesus' time, the Greeks were the intellectual and artistic leaders of the world. They took great pride in their wisdom. But they lacked faith. Paul's letter informs his readers that for Jews and Greeks alike, Christ crucified is a "stumbling block" to their worldly wisdom. They could not imagine believing in a God who would lay down his life out of love for his people. Their pride would not allow them to think of such a thing.
But to those of us who have the gift of faith, the risen Christ is the source of all power and wisdom which is beyond this world's knowledge.
Discussion Questions for GospelDoes the fiery anger of Jesus surprise you? Why or why not? Are there times when it is right to express justified anger? Explain. How do you think believers should show love and respect for God's house?
Although many people crowded around Jesus because of the signs he performed, he did not trust himself to them. What do you think those words mean? What did Jesus understand about the human heart? How will you practice having a faithful heart as Lent continues?
Gospel John 2:13-25
Gospel ReflectionWatch out for Jesus in today's gospel! He has come up to the temple at Passover time and he is very angry about what he sees there. So he brandishes a whip to drive the money-changers and sacrificial animals out of the temple. "Stop turning my Father's house into a marketplace!" he says with frightening authority. His disciples attribute his emotional outburst to zeal or intense passion for the house of God.
When the Jews ask him for a sign of his authority, Jesus speaks of the temple of his body. He prophesies that if they destroy this temple, he will raise it up in three days. They do not understand that he is speaking of his crucifixion and resurrection.
Proclaiming Faith Activities for Primary Grades
The Ten CommandmentsIn the reading from Exodus, God gives the ten commandments to Moses.
Have the children place their hands side by side, fingers tightly together, with thumbs touching on a sheet of paper. Trace around both their hands to make tablets. Ahead of time, have the ten commandments typed or written out. Provide a copy of first three commandments for each child. Have them cut these commandments out and glue them on the "tablet" on the left.
Then provide each child with a copy of the remaining seven commandments. Have them cut these out and glue them on the "tablet" on the right.
Signs of FaithIn the gospel, we hear that many people come to believe in Jesus because of the signs he was doing.
Brainstorm with the children some of the signs that Jesus did. Some examples include the healing of the leper, the healing of the blind and the lame, the feeding of the five thousand, the calming of the sea, etc.
Give each child a piece of paper and have them illustrate their favorite. Bind these together into a book, entitled Signs of Faith.
Proclaiming Faith Activities
Making God's Commands KnownDecide how your group or family will make the world a better place by publicizing the Ten Commandments.
Consider the following list and add your own suggestions.
- Design catchy bumper stickers for each of the Ten Commandments. Example: "One God. That's all we need."
- Audiotape a public service radio announcement summarizing the Commandments in everyday language. Example: Respect your parents and you will be rewarded.
- Make a series of posters with comic sketches of the consequences of not living each of the Ten Commandments. Example: a shoplifter gets caught by a burly security officer with a huge set of handcuffs
Composing a Prayer or SongCompose a prayer or a song expressing either your understanding of Jesus' feelings about the moneychangers and the fickle crowds, or your feelings about the story.
Express in your work your own insights into human nature and how difficult it often is for people to choose to do the right thing.

BELTON (October 30, 2012)—The Belton ISD is making sure students, teachers and employees are doing everything they can to be ready for the flu season by hosting vaccination clinics at every school in the district for the next few weeks.
"School children are the ones where the flu starts each year," said Dr. Manju Gaglani of Scott & White.
"When they go home, it spreads to other members of the family, and the elderly are the ones going to the hospital."
Belton ISD administrators also want to prevent the flu to keep the students learning as much as possible.
"When they're safe and healthy, they're ready to learn and attendance goes up," said Charlotte Smith, Belton ISD health services coordinator.
That is one of the many reasons why these flu vaccinations are free.
No insurance is needed.
For those with insurance, there is no co-pay.
The offer is possible thanks to volunteers at Scott & White and surrounding nursing schools and funding from the state.
Belton ISD students and employees can choose to receive the vaccine either by a shot or through nasal spray.
Third grader Sydney Piper is already learning about how the flu vaccine can help her and her classmates.
"Then I know it's safe to hang out with them, and they probably don't have the flu because they're getting the flu shot," Sydney said.
Syndey and her mother Julie Piper took advantage of this opportunity Tuesday.
Piper, who has taught at Southwest Elementary School for 16 years, knows how quickly germs can spread between kids.
She says having a clinic at school makes preventing the flu for their family and other families in the Belton District much easier.
"It's here, so I don't have to go out of my way to get myself and my children vaccinated," Julie said.
"And for our classroom, the opportunity is for all students."
Scott & White research from a couple of years ago show the district-wide flu vaccine clinics are more than just about saving time and money.
These clinics have potential to help unclog waiting rooms filled with people.
"Research shows this can reduce medical visits for respiratory illness and have one-third less visits in the community," Gaglani said.
Belton ISD has about 9,900 students and 1,400 employees.

Today in Tweet Beat, Coco isn't wearing a thong on "Thong Thursday," Arsenio Hall remembers when he met Tony Curtis, and La Toya Jackson thinks of Chris Tucker as a brother.
I really make the effort to wear thongs just for my Twitters followers for Thursday but my life is crazy & sometimes I have to focus on work
First star I met in Hollywood, waiting for his car outside the ROXY. He had on driving gloves. Holding a blk vanity cane. Tony C ... RIP
(CONT'D) OH! This fly blk hat too! He reeked a rare "IT" quality of stardom. He extended his leather glove, and said, "Tony, Tony Curtis".
Just ran into a great family friend, Chris Tucker, he's such a sweet, loving and fun person, LOVE HIM! He's like another brother.
its only thursday and have so much to do! hope i 'll find the energy, meetings all day and am tired just thinking about it!!
All those people who wish there were more hours in the day need to try meth.
Hosting Fashion Police has made me notice how thin Hollywood women are. The only way to become a fashion plate is to have nothing on yours.
I just has the Best Krispy Kreme doughnut ever!! A minute on the lips a lifetime on the hips ;) sooo worth it
Melon is shit . Such a shit fruit, yet all fruit salads seem to feature them heavily.
no man will ever understand how exhausting it is to be questioned about your body like it was some kind of political choice women have made.
I'm gunna get "get offa me" tattooed on my knuckles so haters see it before I punch them in the arm. Thanks byeeeee
Why do some people think its cool to speak with bad grammer and use a curse word in every sentence?

fadeIn/fadeOut only works first time in Internet Explorer 7
I have a <div> as follows on my page:
HTML Code:
<div id="djcs-view-article" style="visibility:hidden;"> ... </div>
This all works perfectly in Firefox, but for some reason the fade-in and fade-out effect only accur once in Internet Explorer 7, the first time a headline is clicked and when that article is then closed. Subsequent article views result in the <div> popping in and out of existence instantly with no fade effect?
No errors are being generated in either FireBug or IE. Has anyone else come across this?
PHP Code:
init : function() {
// ...
viewArticle = Ext.get('djcs-view-article');
viewArticle.on('click', this.hideArticle, this);
// ...
PHP Code:
getArticle : function(grid, rowIndex, e) {
// ...
// Align and resize article popup with resizeable grid
viewArticle.alignTo('djcs-article-grid', 'tl-tl', [10, 10]);
var viewArticle_w = Ext.get('djcs-article-grid').getWidth();
var viewArticle_h = Ext.get('djcs-article-grid').getHeight();

useDisplay: false
var refs = //... REMOVED FOR SECURITY

Not sure if you're still having this issue, but it came up in another thread that referenced this one (http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?p=84257).
It appears that IE does not like useDisplay:false for the fade effects. Try switching to useDisplay:true instead. If you need to maintain the element's dimensions you may need to add a wrapping element to make it work.
20 Jun 2012 11:10 AM #3
Great stuff, thanks for this man!
My problem was slightly different though, I was trying to toggle (fade in/fade out) an Ext.Element without success in IE 8 (like you said, it worked the first time only). To make it work in IE I had to call "setVisibilityMode(Ext.Element.DISPLAY)" on my element before calling the "toggle" method. This did mess up my layout but I think I can figure something out about that.

I would like to be able to either navigate from a calendar event to its location within maps, or view all upcoming events on a map. Preferably, both.
How do I connect the location of a calendar event with the iPad maps app?
Sadly, (as of iOS 4), this cannot be done. The location field of an event does not recognise an address, no matter how perfectly you enter it.
[UPDATE] In iOS 5, the location field in any calendar event will (if properly formatted) hyperlink to the Maps app.
It wouldn't be a perfect solution, but you could try pasting in a maps.google.com link into you calendar events. For example: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Infinite+Loop+1,+Cupertino,+CA,+United+States&sll=37.331693,-122.030764&sspn=0.007311,0.009871&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=1+Infinite+Loop,+Cupertino,+Santa+Clara,+California+95014&ll=37.331906,-122.031262&spn=0.007311,0.009871&z=17
If you open this link on an iPad it should take you to the Maps application.
But you would have to do this manually on a computer for each event.
Try typing in the location of the event, ie. city, st... you could put in a complete address, then when synced to your idevice it can be mapped.
There are several apps that have this featured into them. Many of them are free. I think downloading a free app with this feature would be the simplest most straight forward way to do this.

When moving large directories using
mv, is there a way to view the progress (%)?
cp command on gentoo had a
-g switch that showed the progress.
When moving large directories using
You can build a patched cp and mv which then both support the -g switch to show progress. There are instructions and patches at this page. However: The page instructs you to do
which overwrites the original cp and mv. This has two disadvantages: Firstly, if an updated coreutils package arrives at your system, they are overwritten. Secondly, if the patched version has a problem, they might break scripts relying on standard cp and mv. I would rather do something like this:
which copies the files to /usr/local/bin which is intended for user compiled programs and gives them a different name. So when you want a progress bar, you say
Also you can do
I don't like the idea to overwrite binaries from coreutil when there are simpler solutions, so here are mine:
rsync: Rsync copies files and has a
The downside is, that rsync is a little bit slower than cp, but you should measure this with time and decide for your self, I can live with it :-)
Shell Script: A shell script can also create the progress bar. I found this a while ago on the net and I don't remember the source:
This will look like:
Its also written for the bourne shell, so it will run nearby everywhere.
There's a new tool called
outputs the stats for all running cp,mv etc. operations
You can use pipe viewer command
I often use this to copy a big file over a mounted network filesystem (combine with
A much better option is to use
The downside here is rsync only shows progress, not a progress bar.
If your goal is to move/copy a directory with progress bar, but avoiding non-terminal GUI, mc (Midnight Commander) is a good choice.
To avoid coreutil patching to add progress bar to
To use the same way as
It uses a file queue when multiple commands are invoked concurrently. It also allows to record copied file names in a log, see Source saving man page section for details.
Here is a good tutorial to get started with
First off: I never copy large files without using ionice, unless I know that I will not want to use the computer for half an hour or more.
Second: all my partitions are jouranled so intrapartition copying takes not time. If it is a long copy I do a
My solution is to use
Here is how I would move a directory with rsync, with progress report:
Make sure
The only glitch is that the
On my Mint I like to use gcp on this or the curl-solution (which is really nice)
You might need to install it
And a very nice and excellent task for the progress bar with info about
in a nice readable format is:
Also, you might need to install it first
This does not give you a progress bar, but hit

For decades, female soldiers have had to wear combat uniforms designed with the male body in mind. But turnabout is fair play. The Army is now testing on men combat uniforms designed for women.
Some 300 male soldiers wore the new "Army Combat Uniform -- Alternate" last month on bases in Georgia and Texas to fit-test the garments. Results are expected next month, according to officials at the Program Executive Office Soldier at Fort Belvoir, Va.
The uniform -- with narrower shoulders, a slightly tapered waist, a slightly flared hip, a more spacious seat and an elastic waist -- has been in the works for three years. The Army Uniform Board approved funding to research a female-only uniform in 2009.
According to a 2008 Army focus-group report, "unisex" ACUs, designed for men, fit many women badly in the "shoulders, bust, hips and crotch."
"Many women also believe that they do not project a professional appearance when wearing the ACU," according to the report.
Last year, Maj. Sequana Robinson at PEO Soldier told The Associated Press that the new uniform -- by then in prototype -- was "a better fit to a woman's dimensions based upon the measures of a woman's body."
But in March, the uniform board approved the uniform for both sexes. "The Army is not moving forward with a female-only ACU," PEO officials, who declined to be identified, wrote in an emailed response to written questions.
Instead, the ACU-A will be authorized to be worn by all soldiers. The coats and trousers will come in more than a dozen sizes. According to PEO Soldier officials, they might appeal to "smaller statured male soldiers."
"It's really about preferences," said Capt. Mia Bruner, assistant product manager for initial-issue uniform, a part of PEO Soldier. "We want to frame the launch of this uniform to be available to all soldiers. This uniform will benefit every soldier. There are some men who'll feel their appearance is a little more professional," she said.
It's unclear how the uniforms became officially unisex. But in 2010, the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services, while lauding an effort to accommodate flight suits to women, said that a female-only suit was a bad idea.
It was "neither necessary nor desirable," the committee said in its report, "because it draws unwarranted attention to gender differences."
The committee recommended "one suit that works for both men and women."
The ACU-As are expected to be available to basic trainees in January and in military exchanges a few months later.
That puts them ahead of the new body armor designed for women, undergoing field testing now by women with the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Ky.
Among those testers was Capt. Lindsey Pawlowski, who in a recent phone interview said the new body armor fit better than the standard, which among other issues, was too long in the torso.
She'd heard about the new ACUs, she said. "The idea of the elastic waistband -- I'm not enthused about it," she said. The other design features sounded good, she said.
Women who prefer the standard ACU will be authorized to wear it, officials said.
Military women have worn uniforms and equipment designed for men for decades. The reason concerns about fit were being addressed now was because of "growing awareness," the PEO Soldier email said.
"Better fitting uniforms and body armor allow the soldier greater mobility and better comfort which in turn provide superior endurance and better job performance. That helps them perform their mission."
Not that they couldn't do that before. "Bear in mind that the equipment that was fielded to both male and female soldiers performed well," the email said. "The uniforms did fit, and the body armor saved lives."
