I don't like the byline it automatically puts on ever post. Is there not a way to edit that?
I don't like the byline it automatically puts on ever post. Is there not a way to edit that?
Yes but we would need a link to your site or theme to be able to tell you how. But if I was to guess you would edit it on single.php
You would have to edit it manually on each post? I haven't put up the site yet I'm just in the formatting stage trying to feel out how I want it to look.
Is there not a way to change it globally so I won't have to do it each time?
Site url?
There's a property named, display in CSS that can hide certain paged elements. This can apply to each element that you specify, so you won't have to do it each time.
You have to edit all theme files that displays it. E.g. single.php, blog.php, category.php etc...
Um - not if it's a child-friendly theme. You should be creating a child theme first.
I'd also like to get rid of the "0 comments" at the bottom since I have comments turned off. Surely there's a way to globally get rid of this in the options, right?
Just saw your post Andrew. Thank you! I'll read that link. Where do I put that CSS?
Try putting it in an area allocated by a Custom CSS Manager plugin.
Okay I installed that plugin. When I click "settings" I get a blank window. Is that where I put it or is there a place I can use the plug-in to modify the code that is already there? If I have to put the code from scratch I have no idea what to write. :-/
Sorry to be such a pain! I wish I knew more about web code!
Once you start modifying code, you're likely to lose your changes once the theme updates. To view the current CSS easily, try using a Browser Inspector tool. This type of tool should allow you to find which styles are applying to which elements, within a webpage.
I use firefox, is there something similar for that?
firebug addon for firefox
Okay, the class is "byline" in the code (I just used view source). So in the plugin I wrote
Is that right?
It's difficult to judge that as we don't have access to your code or website.
I did the same with "bracket" which is the class for the comments part.
I'm not seeing any changes yet, but my computer is being stupid and not showing any of the changes recently so I'm not sure if it worked yet.
Clearing your browser's cache is one way of checking whether the style is being applied. Also refer back to Firebug to check if the styles you've added are applying to the elements.
I refreshed the browser and I see no change. :-/
http://www.askawiseman.com is the website. Not that it matters, but the idea behind the site is a satirical "Dear Abby" type of spoof. Hopefully seeing it will help.
What is firebug? Please excuse my ignorance!
Firebug is an add-on for Firefox, recommended by Rev. Voodoo (further above).
The Custom CSS Manager should apply your styles within the
<head> section of the webpage. I'm seeing empty
<style> tags that should be filled with your CSS.
Perhaps the Custom CSS Manager is conflicting with another plugin and therefore won't work. An alternative is creating a Child Theme and working off that Child Theme's stylesheet for your CSS.
I cleared the cache but it still didn't work. I'm assuming the changes I made didn't fix the problem. :-/ Any idea what I did wrong?
Okay, I'm using thesis 2.0 so I'm sure that's why the plugin didn't work. I went into the head editor of thesis and placed the code there. I cleared the cache and refreshed but I'm not seeing the code in the head anywhere. :-/
Unfortunately WordPress do not support commercial themes. I would recommend you seek help from your theme's vendors.
This topic has been closed to new replies.


text: I like the plugin, works well. But, it changes the layout option available for the page and the sidebar shifts from right to left, or totally disappears. I had to disable it because of that. I have it installed in Firefox and use it that way. AtD is available in the edit window but does not seem to interact with WordPress innards.

REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK, CALIF. - Researchers have confirmed that a redwood named Hyperion in a remote Northern California forest is the world's tallest tree.
Steve Sillett, a forestry professor at Humboldt State University, recently climbed Hyperion and measured it at 379.1 feet, one foot taller than previously thought.
Hyperion, which grows in Redwood National Park, edged aside the previous record holder, a 370.5-foot redwood called Stratosphere Giant in nearby Humboldt State Park.
Researchers had to wait until the end of the endangered marbled murrelet's nesting season to measure Hyperion and confirm its status as the world's tallest living thing.
If it weren't for damage caused by woodpeckers at its top, Hyperion could have reached 380 feet, researchers said.
Michael Taylor and Chris Atkins, the naturalists who initially found Hyperion, said the chances of finding a taller living organism are slim because they have already searched about 95 percent of the prime habitat for big redwoods.
They refused to give the tree's location.

About 14 years ago, I used the fact I worked at the Gazette to bluff my way into a backstage interview with fantasy writer Ray Bradbury (The Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451) when he gave a talk at St. Cloud State University.For maybe half an hour, I had an exclusive one-on-one audience with him in a small dressing room while he ate lunch (he offered me a piece of his pizza.)It was one of the few times in my life I've been lucky enough to tell someone how much he meant to me.I read Bradbury's book Zen and the Art of Writing in my early 20s, and it changed my life. It's not just about how to write fiction, it's about how to live with gusto. He's still one of my heroes.The thing I'll remember most about that day — despite his recently suffering a stroke and needing a cane to walk, Bradbury insisted on going down the four concrete steps outside the auditorium unaided, holding onto the railing and muscling through by sheer will power.That's how Bradbury lived, and we're all lucky for it......
In the Gazette's new, improved visitors guide, Explore the Redwood Area (available for free in shops all over town), I mentioned an upcoming event in Wabasso: Spunktacular Days.It was included on the official RADC list of area events, and if you Google "Spunktacular Days" you can find several mentions of it in other places. One website even said it's been going on for 20 years, and attracts 2,000 visitors a year.That's the first I had heard about it, but I shrugged and included it. Just because I hadn't heard of it didn't mean no one else had.Well, after our visitors guide came out, I got an email from Krista Daniels, editor of the Wabasso Standard.It seems no one in Wabasso knows anything about any Wabasso Spunktacular Days, either. Krista asked people in Wabasso city government and business, and no one had heard anything about it.If anyone has a clue about the fabled "Spunktacular Days," give me a call. Until I see evidence to the contrary, I'm suspecting Spunktacular Days is a hoax.I see this ending with a skinny old man in overalls being led away in handcuffs, bellowing, "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddlin' kids!"

Skip to comments.Perry endorses work visas for illegal immigrants
Posted on 11/03/2011 5:24:19 PM PDT by moonshinner_09
Texas Gov. Rick Perry says America should extend work visas to allow illegal immigrants to move freely between the U.S. and their home countries _ but opposes a path to citizenship.
(Excerpt) Read more at lasvegassun.com ...
Uh, no he's not an idiot. He's a realist who actually has to deal with these PEOPLE. Unlike you and the gang here, he sees the people. That's a good thing for a leader. Too bad those are few and far between here.
Any candidate who wants to actually win the general election will never say that they must round up all illegals and ship them out. It's NEVER going to happen.
However, simply making them legal enough to pay taxes we identify them and start some form of discussion in dealing with the problem in a way that will not make the GOP a minority party for a long time. Face it, the hispanic demographic is the fastest growing one because they actually have children instead of aborting them. There are real consequences to aborting the next generation. We are just starting to reap it now.
I must admit I haven't read the article. But if Perry is saying he does not want them to become citizens. That is probably more than most running for President would say right now. I'm glad Perry is saying this. That is a good thing for America. Now put them back across the border Rick. Where they belong.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry says America should extend work visas to allow illegal immigrants
If you are here on a work visa, you are here legally and you are NOT an immigrant.
"Well Perry has skyrocketed to 8%. He has his base solidly behind him. All 8%."
And this is why the Perrybots hate Cain with a passion, and have decided to throw their hat in the ring with the Left-Wing slime machine called Politico.
It must also really gall them that Cain isn't losing support in the midst of this slime job by Politico. Heck, Cain's campaign took in a million in just a couple of days. :-D
Just how in the fudge do Americans conduct work in other countries?
You really do make yourself look foolish trying to defend the foolish statements and stances on the issues taken by Rick Perry. Okay, I accept that you cannot distinguish between a sensible work permit program and Perry's idiotic plan to issue work permits to many millions of illegal aliens already in the US.
This goes double for RINO ROMNEY!
Here is why Perry is right.
Its all about getting them on record.
Here is how it works now.
If an illegal that "swam across the Rio" gets pulled over in Texas and they don't have a Driver's License or any other form of ID they are going to be booked with an ID hold. That means that they will not be released until their identity is proven. There are only two ways to do that, finger prints or someone with proper ID has to either bring them their ID or has to be able to credibly vouch for them under penalty of perjury. All a cop or jailer can do is ask, 'are you an American?' If they are here illegally and have never had contact with Law enforcement in the US their prints will not be on file, they also are not going to have anyone come and get them because they will provide proof that they are here illegally. So we are left with them either telling the truth or lying. If they tell the truth we can turn them over to ICE, if they lie, we can not turn someone who claims to be an American citizen over to ICE no matter how much our gut tells us they are lying. So now they are here, stuck in jail and we have to wait until they decide jail sucks and then tell the truth. The problem with that is that jail is usually better than their village in Mexico or whatever hell hole they are from.
Even when they do make it to the Feds the Feds are going to help them file the forms they need to get a hearing and then release them back into the state until their court date, which no one will or can enforce that will probably be 5 years later anyway.
Most Illegals entered legally but have over stayed their VISA but unless USCIS has put out a warrant or deportation notice on them Law Enforcement will have no way of knowing they are here illegally. A worker ID system would change that. There would be a system to track them and ID them and deport them. However, it is all useless unless we secure the border first.
Race bait much?
Can Canadians get work visas? How about Aussies? The French?
Sure they can, as long as they apply on the front end- LEGALLY, not through some back door deal with a wink and a nod that greases the skids for amnesty to full citizenship.
Who gave it to him Sharpton ? lol
'Here is the problem, the AP writer sets up a false premise in the first line of the article."
Yeah...kind of like the way the Politico didn't mention any specific people or allegations in their hit piece on Cain...which you and the other Perrybots lapped right up.
It's a bitch when the Left-Wing media misrepresent things about your guy isn't it?
Maybe you should take a break from here before you burst something.
You're screeching in ALLCAPS, using multiple exclamation points and generally just freaking out because a bunch of people you don't even know disagree with you.
It's an internet political forum. Take a deep breath and lighten up a little.
Finding out the so-called settlement was nothing more than a termination severance is also quite normal. Hell, my company gives severance to all employees upon satisfactory termination. (and yes, agreements are signed)
Like Hucklebe, Perry wants cheap labor for his big racher friends and supporters! Nanny stater Hucklebe wanted cheap labor for his Alabama farmers, too. The people say no jobs for illegal aliens! Show them the exit door! Heavily fine empoloyers of illegal aliens. Newt Gingrich, too, ia a big amnesty lover!
Bnefits for illegals have been a big cause of our overcrowded schools, and emerency rooms! Too costly for us who pay our bills and taxes!
Cain is the antithesis of Sharpton.
Under Perrys plan, you get put into the system and you go to the back of the line as a NON citizen.
I don't think he's seen enough. For instance, has he seen the rape tree? You know, the one on which the illegals, sneaking here through the scarce populated foothills, hang the panties of the girls they rape?
yes, by all means let's give 'em a visa, too...
"There would be a system to track them and ID them and deport them. However, it is all useless unless we secure the border first. "
Nice try. Just bring this up draws ILLEGALS here, and believe me they follow our immigration debate even more than Americans. This country needs to speak with ONE VOICE, and that voice is that ILLEGALS will not be REWARDED with work permits (or any other benefits, for that matter)...that simple.
Work permits themselves are fine if done right, as long as the Illegals go home, and get in line behind the people that DIDN'T break the law.
Agree with some of what you say. That if they were on record it may be easier to deport them. I would say if they can't give a SS# if they are an adult then they are illegal though. Agree we must secure the border. Is Perry wanting to do that ?
"Take a deep breath and lighten up a little. "
We would hope. But so far, in a short period of time, he has brought up race 2 or more times.
"Under Perrys plan, you get put into the system and you go to the back of the line as a NON citizen."
I certainly hope they pay you guys well. There's a point where I would just hang it up and tell them to find someone else.
>> Under Perrys plan, you get put into the system and you go to the back of the line as a NON citizen. <<
So are you saying they will go to the back of the line behind all the US citizens who are currently looking for a job but can't find one?
If that's the case then bring them in to fill jobs when our unemployment rate is at 1%. I don't see a problem with that.
Perry say securing the border is a must.
No argument from me.
I want this problem with the illegals solved, that being that they cannot get into this country, and that they must leave. But I agree it seems to be a good thing that Perry wants to identify them as NON citizens. I like that.
And you disagree with this?
The reason the Left fear this man so much is because he is a successful, self-made, Black man. Do you not understand the threat this poses to the White Liberals in this country? This guy completely demolishes the 40+ year liberal lie that minorities cannot get along without their benevolence.
I think Cain is exactly correct when he said this is about his race. The Liberals treatment of this man is showing their racism pure and simple! It's high time the true racists were called out on it.
Oh, and Cain hasn't lost any support since this little slime-job began. As i mentioned, he's been taking in record Internet donations, and received a million in donations in a just a couple of days.
The Left are a bunch racists and should be called out on it!
I hope he really means it. This situation has got to be stopped.
Millions of work visas to illegal aliens already in the country, however, that relieve them of their need to depart the USA constitute a type of Amnesty.
Amnesties seem popular among stupid politicians. D students John McCain, Ted Kennedy and Ricky Perry all support such schemes. Perhaps because of limited reasoning powers, they cannot think beyond anecdotal tales of this or that hard-working illegal "who just wants a better life", and cannot see the consequences of de-facto merging our homeland with the third world. Hence idiot statements about "having a heart" instead of serious policies.
As for Cain, in the general election Obama would demolish him, so we'd end up with Obama. Great strategy.
I don't know why you say that. Cain will be the winner in a general if ALL conservative vote for him. We easily make up 42 percent so we only need another 8.1 percent to win. Independents are sick of Obama and will vote at LEAST 8.1 percent. Hopefully you would vote for him even if you don't support him now.
Most perry supporters on FR are also for amnesty. Like Bush and Perry they claim it's not amnesty if the illegals have to pay a fine first.
But I'm with you, Perry is an idiot!!
i agree, no one should be talking about it until the border is secure, especially newt and his red card idea. However, I was a cop in both Texas and California, I know the fight, I know the true problems of illegal immigration and it's not them "stealing our jobs". It's describe the suspect: "5-9 120 lbs, brown hair, brown eyes". Then they run back to Mexico and then come back in a couple of weeks with a whole new name. There is no accountability for the illegals here or for the Federal Government and it is always the State and the citizens that suffer. We have to be able to track them and taking away the biggest reason to sneak in will help. Turning the border into a Military zone would help too and Perry is the only one running that has said that is what he intends to do.
Of course not. I was just trying to help by letting you know that you come off like a hysterical teenage girl.
But, maybe you are a hysterical teenage girl.
So, I'll just resume laughing at ya. :-D
I have a problem with saying people are motivated by race when there aren't facts to back that up. Maybe some of them are, but how can we know bringing up something about sex is because he is black ? That is a leap in the wrong direction imo.
Not to illegals they don't!
It really stuns me how liberal the Perry folks are. I have been stunned since Perry announced....well actually I thought let's give this guy a look. But immediately during the first debate he seriously blew it and went liberal. I just don't see how a person can support him. We have the best scenario of our lives (except Reagan time) to get a true conservative into the Presidency and they want to screw it up. I am just so stunned by this. Cain is a good man who has the leadership, morals, and ideals that we believe and they want to throw him overboard for a maybe moderate. It just does not make sense.
The border should be turned into a military zone. Hopefully America can get its border back. I do agree with some of your thoughts. If we can identify them then we can possible do something with them.
Straw man argument. You lose. Thanks for playing.
If you see this proposal as step one in a process it is easier to understand why it is not a good thing. Politicians are all aware after their last attempt that "we the people" do NOT support amnesty- or even a path to citizenship for illegals. So those determined to help illegals now know they must get it done in increments. What seem like small concessions to illegals ALWAYS lead to bigger and bigger concessions. ALWAYS have and ALWAYS will.
We already have a LEGAL process for citizens of other countries to come here legally to work. We have a high unemployment rate among our own citizens and it has been shown that if illegals are taken out of jobs, citizens line up for the jobs. You have to ask yourself why Perry or anyone else would even propose givng illegals any sort of legitimacy to begin with.
Agree that most illegals do not enter legally. Almost none I would say enter legally. But he makes good points about them doing illegal things and running back across the border. What does Cain want to do about the border ? Though at this point I don't trust what Cain has to say.
It's not just the ones who are out of work. tens of millions more have had their incomes cut in order to compete with the illegals. It's time that these unAmerican politicians like Perry hit the unemployment line.
I agree that most of the time the pols do things in increments and cannot be trusted. I don't fully trust any of them. The problem I have is that we have millions of illegals here many working ect. What are we going to do about them short of putting them out ? are we just going to keep it like it is now ? Will the day then come when all of the millions are granted amnesty all at once ? Could what Perry is proposing be a stop gap until we can get rid of them ? I don't know, but I don't like the idea of them becoming citizens, period. Congress or a President could do that now and this country would be in big trouble. We have to find a way to stop it.
It is stunning I agree. The main Perrybots are as vile and underhanded as he is.
Look at them now comparing Perry's version of a "work visa" to actual work visas which connect and immigrant employee to a specific employer and when that relationship ends so does the visa.
They lie as easily as he does in claiming that the only alternative to amnesty is mass deportation. We all know and have long advocated for the enforcement of current laws, the denial of benefits and the use of E-verify to get the invaders to self deport.
Yet some scum perrybots, right here on this very thread, claim we must want to kill illegals if we don't want amnesty.
Scum of the Earth liberal lying perrybots don't care about the truth. They don't care that failure to stop the invasion means the end of that "great experiment" America.
They are idiots and yes I am stunned.
They are ILLEGAL lovers pure and simple org. The senor ricarrdo hussein perrynista 'perryTINKLES' supporters agree with these criminal invaders of our Nation!! They WANT it. They are no conservatives by any definition.
I thought Joe Allbaugh was hired to help Perry fix his campaign and go on the attack against other candidates, not allow Perry to dig the Grand Canyon....

With our land becoming more developed and crowded, lots of people go into the woods because they are beautiful and wild. Unfortunately some peoples actions make these places much less beautiful than when they arrived (bushcrafters building chairs, tables, shelves, tripods, walls, huge fires, cutting trees, etc.) Do your best to make sure youre not one of those people.
Just thought I would throw this out to everyone. Campsite 041c is an island campsite in Cooke Pond of the Au Sable River. It is located about 200 yards north of Lumberman's Monument. I've camped on this island before, it is somewhat remote and still easily accessible.
One of many options for access includes renting canoes from one of the many local liveries. I believe there is weekend parking available at the Monument. We could potentially shuttle people w/equipment between Lumberman's Monument and the Island. Plenty of things to do, canoeing, hiking, fishing, just hanging out on the island. Plenty of firewood can be found on the island, but we could also bring a few pieces ourself.
Lumberman's Monument is located about 1/2 hour west of Oscoda. Distance from the Metro Detroit area is roughly 175 miles give or take. Just an idea.
Forgot to add photo of Island off of Lumberman's Monument:
Good luck,

text: Before icecream sandwich, on my HTC I was able to make my notification volume on zero (so it would vibrate) while my ringer was at full volume. Now with icecream sandwich the ringer and notification volumes are to be set at the same level. Is there any way to put the notification volume back to vibrate while there is still volume for the ringer?

Two stories out of the Hastings area brought that lyrical equation to mind very vividly during the past week. The first was the tragic loss of three young lives when Anthony Conley Jr., his brother DeShaune Terry, and a lifelong friend, Charles Evans Jr. died in a horrific automobile crash in front of Pedro Menendez High School. Three young men -- looking forward to buying school clothes with money they had earned -- gone in an instant.
''There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: ... a time to be born and a time to die, ... a time to weep and a time to laugh ... ''
-- From Ecclesiastes 3
Let us all, as a community, extend our sympathy to the two families who have lost their young men in such an unexpected and terrible way. There is so much promise when a little baby is born. That promise begins to bloom as youngsters reach teen years and in youthful exuberance look forward to achieving success in life. It's an awful thing to see that promise cut off so suddenly. No parent alive can ignore the pain such an event engenders.
The other story is about a celebration of life -- a long life, when a local well-known lady celebrated her 99th birthday with family and friends. Let us all, also as a community, extend our best wishes to Jean Maltby, who celebrated her birthday with many friends and an extended family Aug. 5. Five generations of her family were present for the happy day, including her four surviving of seven children and their families.
Those children attending the party were Mary Jane, Jean Francis, Joseph, who is a veterinarian in the area, and Bennie, who lives at Federal Point.
Neighbors relate that Jean's mind is just as clear as a bell. She doesn't have any trouble remembering friends or events, unlike some of us "younger" folk who are experiencing what we like to refer to as senior moments. Mrs. Maltby can often be found doing domestic chores -- inside and outside the house. Rumor has it that she went out on the roof of her house about two years ago to sweep the leaves away, and got locked out when the window slammed shut.
She calmly waited until a neighbor got her down. That isn't an incident she takes pleasure in recounting, but we applaud anyone her age having enough energy and gusto to even think of climbing out on the roof. It isn't unusual to find Jean happily contemplating a purchase in the local grocery store, or preening her yard with a rake in her hand and a smile on her face.
Many friends from the Federal Point area helped Jean celebrate on Sunday. She is looking forward to repeating the celebration next year, with the added fillip of pleasure at reaching the ripe age of an even 100 years. We wish her all the best.
There will be a meeting of the newly formed Democratic Club for Change on Aug. 20 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the public meeting room adjacent to the Hastings Library in the Town Hall Building. The purpose of the meeting, which is open to members and prospective members, is to identify voter education issues, document voter experiences, especially during the past presidential election, and to stir up the interest of prospective precinct workers. All voters who are registered as Democrats are welcome to join.
There is a $10 annual membership fee, and it is hoped that many local residents will attend this meeting and express their electoral concern. Gerald Eubanks of St. Augustine will preside over the meeting. He has lived in the local area all his life and taught in area schools, including the Hastings Elementary School, for 30 years. Voter education is of prime interest to him, and he will welcome inquiries and comments at 794-1544 beforehand, or during the course of the Aug. 20 meeting.
Deputy Jason Braughton of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office has kindly agreed to attend the next meeting of the Flagler Estates Road and Water Commission. That meeting, which will be held Thursday at 7 p.m. at 9850 Light Ave., will address street-related issues, particularly the theft of newly placed, much-needed stop signs, and the destruction of road surfaces by thoughtless ATV operators.
Other police-regulated issues, including juvenile crimes, can be brought up at that meeting, with questions being allowed from resident attendees. Deputies like Braughton are doing a fine job over a very extensive geographic area and law-abiding citizens are very grateful for their presence out here. Anyone who wishes to speak up should sign in at the door before the meeting.
It's interesting to note that some Flagler Estates residents, who have been victims of crimes committed by juveniles, are being contacted by representatives from the Florida State Juvenile Justice Department. Those victims are allowed to express their feelings in writing and describe what happened to them. Such communications are a clear recognition of the victim and are an aid sought by the court prior to a hearing of the juvenile's case by a judge.
Thanks to the many readers who have called during the past week, and to those who contribute to this column. With a view from the piney woods, which are now very wet and mosquito-filled, I can be reached at 692-1920 or at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please allow eight days from Monday for publication of news and events.

Sentiment: Buy
Don't sell. You'll be fine. If anything, I'd buy more to lower your average price per share. I can elaborate more if you'd like.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
We just dropped below the 100 day moving average. The last time IRDM dropped below the 100day average it jumped over 6.5%. I wouldn't be surprised to see this over the next 2 days. IMO. This is a long term buy and hold but for the short term trader there will also be profits because of the low CAP. Also, it could be some time till we hear some possitive news. I believe financials aren't due out till February/March. IRDM has a lot going for it. I just wish they would declare a dividend. That would be enough motivation to push it up to at least book value. Which would still be cheap seeing how ALL other "alternative carriers" are trading at well over book value. Vonage is the next "cheapest" stock; trading at 1.74 times their book value.

London Riots PSP thief will serve jail time
One of three men charged with the mugging of a visiting Malaysian student during the London riots has received a long prison sentence, the Daily Mail reports. Beau Isagba is the first of three accused men to be tried for the crime, which became an Internet phenomenon after video of the attack went viral. One of the items stolen in the brutal attack was a PSP, with the victim known as "the PSP boy" until identified; SCEE quietly replaced the lost device, and Namco Bandai sent a package of games.

The General Services Administration launched a centralized, uniform guide to help agencies wring additional savings from their expanding portfolios of mobile services and devices.
GSA quietly posted a new Mobile Lifecycle & Expense Management (ML&EM) resource online on March 31. The site provides resources federal agencies can use in their search for wireless solutions, including a list of service providers that meet ML&EM requirements, various pathways through governmentwide acquisition contracts and other strategically valuable information.
In an April 17 blog post, Mary Davie, assistant commissioner of GSA's Office of Integrated Technology Services, said the solutions gathered under the ML&EM program can reduce agency mobile costs up to 25 percent initially and another 8 percent to 10 percent as agencies hone their mobile use. The larger the agency's mobile footprint, the larger the efficiencies and cost savings the solutions can bring, she added.
The nuts and bolts of GSA's new mobile purchasing agreement
GSA unveils plan to help agencies manage mobile
GSA has long taken this approach for both wireline and mobile assets with its Telecommunications Expense Management Services, and Jon Johnson, program manager of GSA's Managed Mobility Program, told FCW that ML&EM is intended to do the same in a more mobile-centric way. The new initiative complements the agency's growing stable of wireless management and procurement options, which include the Managed Mobility Program and the blanket purchase agreements issued a year ago under the Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative.
Johnson said ML&EM can help agencies decide on the appropriate wireless services plan, optimize existing rates, identify inventory and billing errors, improve security and manage agency-issued devices.
He added that agencies also have the choice of using the tools before or after they buy services from providers.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- A guard at the Birmingham Museum of Art has been accused of receiving child pornography at work.
Federal authorities charged Loyd Jeffrey Hitt with a child pornography offense this week. He was denied bond during a hearing Thursday.
His defense lawyers did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Al.com reports that Hitt has been placed on administrative leave without pay from his job at the museum. Museum officials said he did not have contact with children.
Investigators said in court documents that they focused on Hitt after learning he was on the customer database of an entity in another country that was distributing child pornography. Police said Hitt told investigators that he was involved with a church youth group. The name of the church was not released.

Mumbai is the financial, commercial, industrial and celluloid capital of India, and it's where Bollywood dreams are made. Built from the ground up on its colonial foundations, Mumbai is one part glitz, with flashy skyscrapers and designer stores, and one part poverty, with slums and seedy neighborhoods. Located next to the Arabian Sea, another one of Mumbai's points of interest is, of course, the beach. Juhu Beach, which sits just outside of the city center, is lined with Mumbai's best hotels, restaurants and nightclubs, and it's where the business bunch like to come and play. Mumbai's deep-water port is also an essential component to the beachside city; it manages over half of India's maritime cargo.

Halo 3: ODST Review
Bungie makes the best of well-trodden material in this brief but excellent spin-off.
ODST has its share of flaws, but it's a noteworthy creation simply for the way in which it unites the two different faces of the franchise -- campaign and multiplayer -- into something that should appeal to both sets of fans. It doesn't really do anything new (quite the contrary, really), yet its take on these familiar ideas is at once incredibly polished and extremely addictive.
The game's shortcomings are exactly what you'd expect. ODST was initially a minor expansion to Halo 3 that grew in scope and ambition over the course of its development. The final game feels like something more than an add-on, but the campaign is definitely shorter than in any previous chapter in the series. More crucially, ODST adds very little to the Halo "sandbox"; aside from a single new alien race (which plays a strictly passive role in combat) and a few new weapon variants, everything you see, shoot, and utilize comes straight from Halo 3.
In fact, there's actually less variety than in other Halo adventures, because you never once fight an Elite or see a single hint of the Flood. No doubt many people will find the lack of Flood foes a perk rather than a drawback, but the fact is that their appearance in prior titles always prompted a significant change in gameplay and forced players to switch things up. Without the Flood's aggressive unpredictability to balance Covenant tactics, fights tend to play out the same way from start to finish.
This would ruin ODST if not for the fact that the limitations and familiarity of the game's bestiary allowed Bungie to explore new directions for the underlying game mechanics. ODST plays out quite unlike any other Halo game, and it stands apart as one of the most experimental things the developer has done for quite a while. The changes may not be to everyone's tastes, but they're honestly brilliant.
ODST takes you out Master Chief's first-person viewpoint and drops you into the relatively weaker armor (and non-surgically-enhanced physique) of a squad of "Helljumpers," the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers who lend the game its title. They'e tougher than your average meat balloon marine, but still clock in a few notches below Master Chief in terms of durability. The change in protagonist makes an appreciable difference to the action: your ODSTs are shorter, slower, and weaker than you're accustomed to. They can't dual-wield, they can't sprint, and your melee attack won't kill a Brute in a single shot, even if you kosh them unawares.
This doesn't impede the gameplay; on the contrary, it enhances it. Encounters that have grown rote and predictable over the past three games are suddenly challenging and intimidating again. You'll sweat out battles that would've been a simple matter for the Chief. A pair of Hunters is no longer a minor obstacle but rather a dangerous threat that needs to be dealt with immediately. Drones can be utterly overwhelming. And those Brute captains with the gravity hammers and the Overshield? Yeah, you can't outrun those guys to wait out their invincibility this time: They're faster than you, stronger than you, meaner than you, and making a beeline straight for you.
Freed of the Chief's POV, the narrative is free to take on a nonlinear structure that draws its cues, improbably enough, from film noir. That's not to say the whole campaign mode is some sort of moody, shadowy, art film of a game, though. Most of the action is set in a number of flashbacks which have you retracing the steps of the missing members of an ODST squad who crashed to earth on a mission gone wrong. These story sequences play out exactly as you'd expect from a Halo game: They're brisk, action-packed affairs that lead you from moment to moment and make use of every enemy, vehicle, weapon, and situation you care to think of.
What makes ODST unique from its predecessors is the mission that binds these individual vignettes. Set six hours after the squad's disastrous orbital drop, the New Mombasa level is set in the nighttime streets of a war-torn city. Abandoned by its inhabitants and patrolled by a small but heavily-armed Covenant occupation force, the city is inky black but for pools of blood-red emergency lighting, and snipers patrol the rooftops. It's in this setting that you control the last member of the ODST team, a laconic newcomer known only as Rookie. The Rookie's mission is to retrace the steps of his missing comrades and complete the team's cryptic mission, if at all possible, and this is where the noir influences play out: New Mombasa plays host to a futuristic detective story as players hunt for clues while evading roving Covenant patrols. It's part Blade Runner, part Saving Private Ryan, and yet in the end it's still definitely Halo.
This hub level is unlike anything ever seen in the series, or in just about any modern shooter, for that matter. The Rookie has the full run of the city, and how it plays out is completely at your discretion. You can dart from hotspot to hotspot to find traces of your comrades as quickly as possible, or you can work against the grain to explore the city's darkened recesses. You can face patrols head-on, or you can sneak past them. Where Halo is famous for its aggressive, backtracking-proof level design, ODST's hub is completely nonlinear and can be approached in any number of ways. And unlike the typical Halo mission, New Mombasa completely changes when played cooperatively.
That's only the beginning of ODST's coop offerings, though. The game offers a handful of new multiplayer maps in the usual Halo style, but the bulk of the multiplayer comes in the form of Firefight. While Firefight isn't a new idea, precisely, it's done up in impressive style here. The basic premise is simple enough: One to four players face off against endless waves of Covenant in a closed arena, playing for points and struggling to survive for as long as possible. Unlike the previous Halo multiplayer, which consisted of evenly-matched teams of guys killing each other with infinite respawns and limitless weapons, Firefight grants each party a limited pool of lives and finite resources that only regenerate once certain milestones are reached. It's not player-versus-player, but rather players-versus-growing-odds, and it's incredibly addictive. Like many of the best games, it's hard to explain precisely what makes Firefight so good; my most powerful impressions were borne of experiences of the moment, situations and actions that would fall flat when put into words. But the sense of teamwork Firefight creates is unparalleled, a perfect complement to the campaign's focus on the ODST squad.
ODST does suffer for the lack of genuinely new elements it adds to the Halo universe, and the campaign mode is a bit brief. Yet between the enormous scope of New Mombasa, the unique atmosphere, and the brilliance of Firefight mode, I can easily see myself pouring more time into ODST than any other Halo to date. As a student of the "quality over quantity" school of entertainment, I'll take a compact but meaty experience that keeps me coming back over a long, drawn-out exercise in tedium any day. ODST may be a side diversion in the Halo universe, but it's an awfully good one.

It's rather ironic, in an article talking about people who have take out payday loans, it is written that tricking your cable company into lowering your cable bill is somehow going to help. You know what is cheaper than a low cable bill? No cable bill! Believe it or not you don't have to have TV. You don't have to have a smart phone, heck you don't even really have to have internet, though the last one would certainly help you with finding a job and possibly making some extra money on the side.

Besides the laughability of trying to reduce one's cable bill (I recommend that one reduce it to $0 and be done with it), it also seems a bit silly to avoid credit cards but then to use payday loan services, which charge an even higher interest rate.

I thought that the story was silly. Charge cards takes in billions in late charges. Payday loans interest rates fees and charges are criminals. The first thing you need to know is what you do with your money. You can control your electric bill by turning off a switch, you can control how much you drive your car, what you buy at the store and the hot water you use. Then you wonder what happened to America, because you realized you are confined and in the dark with no hot water.

I was reading an old sysadmin manual and it said to use the badblocks program to feed e2fsck with the -l parameter the bad cylinders, but newer "guides" are saying to use the -c switch instead.
I am unsure and cannot piece together the man pages or guides, an example situation:
What if I were diagnose that a server had a faulty filesystem (corrupted, or had bad blocks), how would I properly run the program (assuming an ext2/3 filesystem) in a way that will do as described?
How can I unmount the partition and run the check, if the e2fsck program is on that partition? I clearly do not understand the process in this.
I hope I am clear in what I am intending to do.

The classic O(1) random access data structure is the array. But an array relies on the programming language being used supporting guaranteed continuous memory allocation (since the array relies on being able to take a simple offset of the base to find any element).
This means that the language must have semantics regarding whether or not memory is continuous, rather than leaving this as an implementation detail. Thus it could be desirable to have a data structure that has O(1) random access, yet doesn't rely on continuous storage.
Is there such a thing?

BYU football: Eason has thrived in BYU's unique environment
"It was tough — tougher than I thought it would be," he said. "I remember just going to class like everyone else, but everyone else would just stare at me. It was uncomfortable, but I decided to have fun with it and just wave 'hi' to everyone that would stare. And then they'd look away, not knowing what to do, and I had a lot of fun with it."
After a couple of months at BYU, however, Eason began to regard the place as his home. Those same stares grew into welcome greetings as he began to reach out and become known as a friendly guy who was at BYU for a lot of the same reasons most everyone else was.
His fellow teammates — four in particular — helped out with his acclimation.
"Andrew Rich, Brandon Bradley, Scott Johnson and Brian Logan — that was the group," he said. "We did everything together, and we're still all really close, and they were a huge help to me in learning how to fit in and learn how to succeed at BYU."
According to Eason, a lot of his success can be attributed to completely immersing himself into every single precept preached by head coach Bronco Mendenhall. While some athletes take bits and pieces of Mendenhall's program, Eason went all-in.
That all-in effort came to a head with him choosing to get baptized into the LDS Church last November. He was prompted to investigate the church further by his wife, along with holding some personal genuine interest born soon after he arrived at BYU.
Mendenhall himself played a big role in Eason electing to get baptized.
"As soon as I told Coach Mendenhall that I was interested, he let me borrow a CD called 'The 17 Truths of the Gospel,' " Eason said. "I just started listening to that CD and it just let me know that this church was true, and it didn't take long until I was baptized because I knew it was true.
"I tried to fight taking discussions when I first got here — not wanting to just give in or whatever — but you just see how happy people are and how well everyone lives, and it's hard to not want that same thing in your own life."
According to Eason, his life has improved tremendously from the very second he got baptized, seeing increased blessings along the way.
"My family has seen how I've grown as a man and now they're interested. They want to start taking the discussions, and that's a huge blessing," he said. "There's some athletes that come here wanting too much to be different, but the more you want to be different and the more you try to be different the worse your experience will be. I know that for myself.
"But if you just do what is right, then you're going to be happy. The happiness I've found being at BYU and being a member of the church — I can't even explain to you how much more happy I am as a person."
Eason has taken full advantage of the educational benefits of BYU as well. He'll graduate this year with a degree in psychology, and he currently holds a 3.4 grade point average.
He's a player that Mendenhall will miss, having been able to see a lot of growth within him since he first got to BYU.
"He's really fit in well here," he said. "He's become a member of the church, he's become a team leader — a team favorite. He's married now, and when he goes back home he'll be a great example to those in his neighborhood. It's a pretty inspiring story. It just shows that when a young man wants this experience, no matter where he's from, no matter what race or what faith, that it can be a great experience."

8. Take Lighting to Another Level
Many landscapes are most romantic after dark—by the glow of the moon and when well-placed electric lights spotlight trees and light up paths. The Bealls took their lighting a step further, hanging gracious outdoor lanterns from the boughs of trees. They also used tall streetlight-style lamps to punctuate patios and roundabouts. All these fixtures coordinate with the lights placed on the house's exterior walls.

Environmental disasters in social context: toward a preventive and precautionary approach

The paper examines relations between natural hazards and social conditions in disaster, and problems of their integration in disaster management. This must be done against a background of ever-increasing numbers of disasters. The initiating roles and impacts of environmental hazards are acknowledged. However, expanding losses are not explained by increased geophysical risks. To the extent that scientific knowledge or engineering and planning skills are involved, the problems seem more one of (in)effective deployment than major deficiencies. Social analyses suggest the scope of today's disasters follows primarily from greater concentrations of vulnerable people, exposed in dangerous situations, and lacking adequate protections. Firstly, the question of disaster causality is revisited as a problem of damage diagnostics. A basis is developed from the findings of formal disaster inquiries. Despite their limitations, well-conducted inquiries offer unusually comprehensive anatomies of the social and physical conditions of disasters. They demonstrate and trace out the interplay of environmental, societal, technological, and institutional components of emergencies. In the examples described, environmental hazards are investigated in great detail. Nevertheless, societal preconditions are shown to be more critical. Inadequacies in emergency preparedness, performance, and post-disaster response are highlighted, and for those most at risk. The conclusions present major challenges for the agent-specific view of disasters, and for disaster management preoccupied with natural forces, uncertainty, and emergency responses. Rather, a view of disaster causality emerges emphasizing avoidable failures of preventive, protective, and intervention measures. Evidence is cited to show this is increasingly relevant in so-called natural disasters lacking such inquiries. The discussion considers the relevance of a preventive and precautionary approach in this context. The histories of accident, disease, fire, and crime prevention support arguments for greater attention to context-specific environmental and societal aspects of risk. Aligning disaster management more closely with preventive priorities depends upon a much greater focus on people, places, and livelihoods most at risk, reversing the social processes that put them at risk. It requires listening to their voices and concerns, recognizing and bolstering their resilience. Much more can and should be done to disseminate the protections, from building regulations to insurance, that actually do save so many others in the disasters that happen. As such, the case for greater attention to issues of governance and social justice is strengthened.
