This blog follows and is also protected by Fair Use Law, or Copyright Law. We use public domain images when possible from sites like Wikimedia and we strive to use official portraits of candidates/elected officials. But we also exercise our legal right to use transformative images such as thumbnails, image portions, or parodies (like memes), and videos from sites like YouTube, then we add our commentary.
Numerous U.S. Supreme Court rulings provided certain legal protections for bloggers, endowing them with the same Constitutional rights as journalists (protection when publishing what may be defamation or slanderous information provided by another source, protecting sources, etc.). In Section 230 of the Communication Decency Act of 1996, aspects of blogging were given protection from claims of copyright infringement under certain conditions. As the Electronic Frontier Foundation explains, the Copyright Act says:
"fair use…for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."
Individuals or groups may make a claim of copyright infringement and attempt to have an ISP take down a site that receives a claim of copyright infringement. This blog has the option to remove content if it agrees to a claim of copyright infringement, or to counter-notify the ISP to leave the content up. All Things Democrat has the option to sue for damages from the claimant if this site is improperly taken down. Any attempt to take down this site due to a frivolous claim will be met with a strong legal defense which may include suing for damages.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation provides important information for bloggers concerning intellectual property. A few key FAQs:
I found something interesting on someone else's blog. May I quote it?
Yes. Short quotations will usually be fair use, not copyright infringement. The Copyright Act says that "fair use…for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright." So if you are commenting on or criticizing an item someone else has posted, you have a fair use right to quote. The law favors "transformative" uses — commentary, either praise or criticism, is better than straight copying — but courts have said that even putting a piece of an existing work into a new context (such as a thumbnail in an image search engine) counts as "transformative."
May I freely copy from federal government documents?
Yes. Works produced by the US government, or any government agency or person acting in a government capacity, are in the public domain. So are the texts of legal cases and statutes from state or federal government.
When can I borrow someone's images for my blog post?
Images are subject to the same copyright and fair use laws as written materials, so here too you'll want to think about the fair use factors that might apply. Is the image used in a transformative way? Are you taking only what's necessary to convey your point? A thumbnail (reduced-size) image, or a portion of a larger image is more likely to be fair use than taking an entire full-size image.
I want to parody someone. Can I use some of their images and text in my parody?
Yes, parody is recognized as a type of fair use, like other commentary and criticism, and courts recognize that a parody must often take recognizable elements from the work it comments upon.

Thousands of Northland residents are facing a huge clean-up
operation in the wake of some of the worst stormy weather to
hit the region in years.
The cost of the storm clean up could be in the millions,
officials say, but the damage is still being assessed after a
week of wild weather.
Heavy rain and driving winds caused slips, closed roads,
burst river banks and was thought to have claimed one life at
Haruru in Northland. Around a dozen families were taking
refuge in a welfare centre last night.
Hundreds of homes in the Far North and in northern parts of
Auckland were without power this morning, The Radio Network
A number of main roads in Northland are closed, or partly
closed, with motorists warned to take extra care and expect
Civil Defence Northland spokesman Graeme MacDonald, said
while it was too early to put an accurate cost on the storm,
"agencies involved agree it's one of the worst to strike the
region in a number of years in terms of its impacts and the
recovery would take a considerable time at an eventual cost
likely to run well into the millions".
Conditions were improving today, he said, with rivers
beginning to recede and roads beginning to reopen.
Northland Federated Farmers president Roger Ludbrook says for
some, it's a case of just trying to get by.
"Looking at the water levels certainly where I am in the Bay
of Islands, they're some of the highest river levels that I
have ever seen. I'd say that most people will just be sorting
themselves out."
Meanwhile, as the North dries out, parts of the South are
beginning to freeze over.
Snow warnings are in place for the high passes, with between
4 and 8 centimetres expected on Lindis Pass and Porters Pass
It'll get heavier on Porters Pass tonight - with up to 15cm
expected near the summit. Milford Road will have a dusting
this morning, with between 3 and 6 centimetres expected.

The Bronx Zoo Peahen Has Been Recaptured
Freecock, we hardly knew ye.
The peahen (female peacock) that escaped from the Bronx Zoo on Monday was recaptured in the garage of a nearby business this morning, before we could even give her an awesome nickname like "Fleecock" or "Freecock," which now that we're typing them sound kind of dirty. [NYDN]

Child molester Gary Glitter has agreed to leave Thailand for London, police said today.
His decision ends a two-day farce that began when he was released from a Vietnamese prison after serving his sentence for child abuse.
The 64-year-old has been twice refused entry into Thailand and once turned away from Hong Kong after flying out from Vietnam.
But Thai police general Phongdej Chaiprawat said he did not know when the ageing former rocker will leave Bangkok nor which flight he will be taking.
Glitter, real name Paul Francis Gadd, was convicted in March 2006 of committing "obscene acts with children" in Vietnam. He served two years and nine months of a three-year sentence which was reduced for good behaviour.
A police spokesman said Glitter arrived back in Bangkok today and was again denied entry. He said Glitter's airline, Thai Airways, should ensure he continues on his originally planned journey to England.
"Thailand is not allowing him to enter the country and Hong Kong is turning him back so there is no choice for him now," he said. "It is the responsibility of Thai Airways to take him out of the country."
A spokeswoman for Thai Airways said the airline told Glitter that his only option was to fly to London.
On Tuesday night Glitter was taken from his prison cell to a Thai Airways flight out of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
He had been booked to change planes in Bangkok en route to London, but refused to board the flight to Britain, complaining of an earache.
Glitter was denied entry because under Thai immigration laws those convicted of child sex abuse in a foreign country can be barred.
Glitter's fall from grace began in 1997, when he took his computer for repair and was discovered to have downloaded thousands of hardcore pornographic images of children.
Two years later he was convicted of possession of child pornography, and Glitter served half of a four-month jail term.

Implantation at 7dpo? Is that real?
Comments (8)
Some women say they feel cramps but they don't feel like pms, others may start feeling nausia, bloated it depends on the person. I didn't feel implantation bleeding to my knowledge I just remember that day I was due on, I kept feeling like I was about too (which was awkward as I was in work and at the time the only woman in that departmant) and light not painful but you feel them twinges but that was it, 4 days later I took a test and there was the bfp staring at me. This was a year ago though so like I said I don't really remember feeling any before af was due to arrive just that day.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
In this article
Thrombocytopenia means you don't have enough platelets, cells in your blood that stick together to help it clot. It might not cause you any health problems at all. But if you do have symptoms like bleeding too much, treatments can help.
Platelets are made in your bone marrow, the spongy tissue inside your bones. You can get thrombocytopenia if your body doesn't make enough of them, or if they're destroyed faster than they can be made.
Your body might not make enough platelets if you have a:
- Blood disorder that affects bone marrow, called aplastic anemia
- Cancer such as leukemia or lymphoma, which damages your bone marrow
- Platelet-lowering disease that runs in your family, like Wiskott-Aldrich or May-Hegglin syndrome
- Virus such as chickenpox, mumps, rubella, HIV, or Epstein-Barr
Chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer destroys stem cells that form platelets. If you've been in contact with chemicals like pesticides and arsenic, your body might slow down the process of making platelets.
Your platelets can be damaged by:
- Autoimmune diseases such as lupus or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), where your own body attacks healthy cells
- Medicines, such as antibiotics that contain sulfa, heparin used to prevent blood clots, and antiseizure drugs such as phenytoin (Dilantin) and vancomycin (Vancocin)
- Rare diseases that make blood clots form in the body, such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
- Viruses like mononucleosis or cytomegalovirus
Sometimes, you don't have enough platelets because they get trapped in your spleen, an organ that fights infection. And women may get thrombocytopenia during pregnancy, because their bodies get rid of platelets more quickly than usual.
Sometimes you don't have any symptoms from thrombocytopenia. When you do, the main one is bleeding.
You can bleed outside or inside your body. Sometimes it can be heavy or hard to stop. Some people get nosebleeds or bleeding gums.
You might also have:
- Blood in your urine or bowel movement
- Headaches
- Heavy menstrual periods
- Purple or red bruises, called purpura
- Tiny red or purple spots on your skin, called petechiae
These symptoms might not start until your platelet count is very low. If you notice any of them, call your doctor.

Great article on Canyonlands geology by Becky Oskin.
Have you been out in the backcountry and heard guides refer to the fun scale? Well here it is just in case you were curious. It's not always a good thing, but sometimes it is.
Type I Fun –This is the purest form of people having fun during an activity, simple instant gratification where you enjoy the moment. Good food, 5.8 hand cracks, powder skiing, good sex, afternoon hiking, mellow whitewater, and margaritas. You're bummed when it's over, but you'd be hard-pressed to remember more than a few specific details.
Type II Fun –Retrospective fun you can look back on and think "hey, that was a good time now that it's over". Normal people don't set out to find type II fun, it just happens. Usually it begins with the best intentions before things get carried away into a miserable hateful experience that becomes legendary. Hanging belays in the dark, that time you almost drowned inside your tent. Getting lost, cold, hungry, wet, scared, and coming out on top; that's the sort of experience that stick with us. Think of the hangover that makes you swear you'll never drink again.The sneaky thing about type II fun is as time passes you start to remember it as being fun. That is dangerous, as you tend to repeat the same activities that were not fun at the time. First you're saying "I want my mom so bad right now" and next week you're like "You know, that wasn't so bad, what should we try next time?"
Type III Fun –An activity that was never fun and usually involves conditions so horrific that you think, "What in the hell was I doing? If I ever come up with another idea that stupid, somebody slap some sense into me." The phrase "don't die, don't die, don't die…" is usually running through the mind of someone experiencing type III fun. Anything that ends with you eating your own shoes, or featuring prominently in a non-fiction bestseller likely classifies as type III.
On this highly scientific spectrum, a lot depends on your sense of adventure and pain tolerance. The most memorable experiences and the stories that are shared around the campfire for years to come are born of the rosy reflections afforded us by the passage of time. The important thing is that we're out there looking for fun.
Into which category a given experience falls, of course, is highly subjective I guess you never really know what sort of fun you're getting yourself into once you leave the couch. After all, as alpinists and mothers both know: It doesn't have to be "fun" to be fun.
Pictures were taken in Arches National Park, and the Needles District of Canyonlands National park.
Arches National Park is my favorite park to visit in January. Peace, solitude, contemplation, truly a wonderful opportunity so near my front door. Most of the year I spend my time in the backcountry of Canyonlands, but for a few fortuitous months I become the visitor in my own town.
I started at the Windows section; a landscape differed dramatically in winter wonderland. I approached the North Window under the moonset not expecting to have the entire area to myself. Even in the dead of winter this is the simplest best to place to see the sunrise. The view behind me showed a quiet cold awaiting light to warm winters chill. The purple shadows gave way to the fiery glow of canyon country as the sun climbed above the La Sal Mountains. I will not soon forget the world awakening for me behind the spectacles.
My serenity was broken by awe struck hikers well after the ravens first resonant kaw. Time to go it alone I headed for the Fiery Furnace. Warned of possible icy conditions I packed my micro spikes and left my expectations of completing the loop behind. The route is currently in good condition free from snow and ice, but that can change quickly this time of year. With no marked trails I wandered cathedral halls of domes and spires with a peaceful mind. The hike through the Fiery Furnace is an experience not to be miss out on. Guided Interpretive hikes through the Fiery Furnace are available year round.

78 cadets used an unauthorized online tool during a calculus exam, the Air Force Academy reports.
According to Air Force Academy spokesperson John Van Winkle, 650 cadets took the online exam for Mathematics 142. 90 cadets were asked about the statistical abnormalities in their results, and 78 admitted at least some responsibility for consulting an online tool they shouldn't have used.
The Academy says there is no evidence the freshman cadets colluded. Each is believed to have acted individually, and each will be handled as separate violations of the honor code.
The code includes an oath that reads: "We will not lie, steal or cheat nor tolerate among us anyone who does. Furthermore, I resolve to do my duty and live honorably, so help me God."
The cadets who have accepted full responsibility are now undertaking a six month remediation program. They will participate in reflection, journaling, and mentoring with senior officers and cadet honor representatives.
Additional penalties, to be decided individually for each cadet, could include honor probation or disenrollment.

Pfizer Menopause Drug Didn't Cause Cancers, Jury Says
Pfizer Inc.'s menopause drug Prempro didn't cause two women's cancers, and the drugmaker doesn't have to pay damages over those illnesses, a jury decided.
Jurors in state court in Philadelphia deliberated about four hours before concluding today that Prempro wasn't a "factual cause" of Sharon Buxton's and Joy Henry's breast cancers. The women sought at least $100,000 in damages.
"While we have great sympathy for Mrs. Buxton, Mrs. Henry and their families, we believe the verdicts in this case confirm our position," Pfizer said in a statement. "The vast majority of women who take hormone therapy do not get breast cancer."
Until 1995, many menopausal women combined Premarin, Wyeth's estrogen-based drug, with Upjohn Co.'s progestin-laden Provera, to relieve their symptoms. Wyeth later combined the two hormones in Prempro.
Pfizer, the world's largest drugmaker, completed the $68 billion purchase of Wyeth last year. It acquired Upjohn in 2003 as part of a $54 billion buyout of Pharmacia Corp.
More than 6 million women took hormone drugs to treat menopause symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings before the Women's Health Initiative, a National Institutes of Health-sponsored study, concluded they posed an increased cancer risk.
Victoria Davis, a spokeswoman for New York-based Pfizer, said in an interview that the study also showed that "99.6 percent of users" didn't get breast cancer.
Jury Trials
Wyeth has lost seven of the 12 Prempro cases decided by juries since trials began in 2006. The drugmaker got some of those verdicts thrown out at the post-trial stage or had awards reduced.
A judge in Philadelphia refused in May to throw out a $9.4 million jury award to a woman who blamed Prempro for her breast cancer. The case is on appeal.
Buxton, 66, took Prempro for six years before the retired scheduler for a surgical practice developed breast cancer, court filings show. Henry, a 76-year-old owner of a moving company, took the drug for eight years before being diagnosed with the disease.
Beth Wilkinson, an attorney for Pfizer, said in a phone interview that the trial with two plaintiffs was "incredibly challenging." Her team was helped by being "allowed to focus on the science first" and show jurors that "there's no evidence that Prempro causes breast cancer" based on testimony from practicing cancer doctors, she said.
Zoe Littlepage, a lawyer for Buxton and Henry, didn't immediately return a phone call or an e-mail seeking comment on the verdict.
Pfizer, which reported $50 billion in sales last year, fell 17 cents to $16.10 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading at 4 p.m. The shares have dropped 11 percent this year.
The case is Buxton v. Wyeth, 00202, Court of Common Pleas (Philadelphia).

Room in Central Craftsman HomeUnited StatesOregonPortland
About this listing
Cozy room with a single bed in a beautiful, single-unit apartment above a garage, built in the craftsman style of this historic neighborhood w/ a modern feel, beautiful natural light, exposed wooden beams, and French doors opening onto a balcony.
Dining area, front balcony, and the house dog (We've rearranged the living space a bit since this was taken to improve the space, but it looks more or less the same.)
Space where guests can cook their own meals
Towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper
The Space
Small room with a single bed, in a beautiful, single-unit two-bedroom apartment (we live in the other bedroom) above a garage, built in the craftsman style of this historic neighborhood but with a modern feel. The room is very small but efficient; since the bed hangs from the ceiling, there is space under-neither for your private little sitting space. There is a door opening from the room onto the back patio, and and a closet with coat hangers, as well as dresser and shelving for you to organize your things and make yourself at home. Please take careful look at the photos, this may not be an ideal space for you if you are either tall, or not good with heights.
The living area has wood floors, exposed wood beams, and French doors opening onto a small balcony from the living space. You can expect comfort but not luxury. In other words, there will be fresh/clean sheets, but they won't be ironed. And due to having a dog in a small space, we will do our best to keep the place clean, but there will most definitely be a dog hair or two that works itself into your room.
Guest Access
You may use our living room, bathroom (there is a hair drier and drawer we keep for guests), kitchen, washer/dryer, outside dining spaces, back patio, etc. Please understand that as our house is very small, our dining room table doubles as a desk for us. Since we use the living area for work and study, we cannot guarantee that the common space will always be perfectly clean. It is our home, not a hotel. That being said, your room will be certainly be completely clean and tidy ;-) We have a small second living space in the loft that we reserve for our personal use (We both have very full schedules, as we work and are back in school, and we like to have that as a place to decompress when we want it). That being said, it's by no means off limits. You are welcome to check out the space and utilize it as you like when we are out.
Interaction with Guests
We are happy to allow you space to do your own thing, but also enjoy meeting and socializing with good people. I have been a host via various websites for years, and am happy to give as many recommendations or suggestions for your time in Portland as you like! We are active people, enjoy exploring the live music happenings in the area, greatly appreciate good food/drink, and are eager to point people towards places and activities that show off our city. You are welcome and encouraged to make use of our kitchen and living room, but there is no obligation or expectation to share meals or activities.
The Neighborhood
We are located as central as it gets, right in between downtown and the handful of awesome east side commercial districts. You can walk downtown in 20 minutes. There are a decent number of restaurants and bars within walking distance (see our guidebook), yet the house its self is a couple blocks off of the main street, nestled in a quiet residential area, and a 5 minute walk from several parks, and walking distance from Streetcar and the light-rail. We aren't necessarily walking-distance (unless you are ambitious) to any of the fun commercial districts (Alberta, Mississippi, Williams, 28th, Division, etc.), but as mentioned earlier we are located very centrally to all of them, and they are a cheep Uber/Lyft/bus ride way.
Getting Around
We are located 5 blocks away from the streetcar and light-rail lines, both of which go downtown (and directly to the airport, train station, and bus station). There are a handful of bus lines that pass within several blocks, and Uber or Lyft always good options.
Other Things to Note
We have a very sweet dog, who for the most part likes to hang out on her bed. She is well-trained and wouldn't dream of climbing on the couch or beds. When she's in the house she mostly naps.
As our listing states, our pricing is for one guest. We want our home to be a comfortable place for ourselves as well as our guests, and our house is just two small to still be comfortable with more than three people (Myself, Duncan, and one guest). We are unable to accommodate additional overnight guests, and are unable to make exceptions.
We will email you our guest book after you make a reservation, which includes everything you need to know to make yourself at home (how to use the laundry, where everything is located, living space expectations, nearby grocery stores). There will be a printed copy in your room when you arrive. A few general rules are listed below:
• You are welcome to come and go as you like, but be respectful of noise if we need quite (we both use the living room for studying).
• Please refrain from eating or drinking in the bed, and be careful with anything in the bedroom that can stain; any expenses we accrue in order to clean or cover up spills or stains in the bedroom will be taken from the security deposit.
• No smoking (of anything) inside the home. If smoking occurs in non-designated areas, all security deposits will be subject to forfeit and owner has authority to evict tenants.
• SMOKING AREAS: The rental bedroom has a door opening onto a balcony, and there is a comfortable covered patio on the lower level.
• No walking inside unit with Bike Shoes, Muddy and/or Spiked Hiking Boots, or any Metal Sole Shoes that may scratch or harm the wooden floors.
• All debris and discards should be placed in appropriate receptacles (garbage vs. recycling).
• Clean up after yourself when using the kitchen, bathroom, and other shared spaces.
Your Host
Sara & Duncan
We live in Portland, where Sara was born and raised. Duncan is also a native Oregonian, hailing from Ashland. We are both avid travelers, but the Pacific Northwest is home! We have a small, beautiful place that feels a bit like a cross between a beach house and an enormous tree house. We love our home and enjoy sharing it.
We appreciate guests that make themselves at home and treat our home with respect. Sara works from home, and we are also both in school (Duncan - Nursing, Sara - Occupational Therapy), so we likely won't have much free time to hang out and show you around. We also often need the living area to be quiet for studying and/or work. This doesn't mean that we aren't happy to have you, just that you will have to be an independent traveler looking for a comfortable and welcoming "home base." And we are full of recommendations and suggestions!!! Public transportation from the bus and train station to our house is very easy.
If you have any questions about us or our home, please don't hesitate to contact us!

The search for a man who hasn't been heard from for a week
after going hunting in the Wanganui River area, south of
Hokitika, is continuing today.
The 35-year-old man was last heard from when he went into the
area last Tuesday to hunt for deer and tahr. He was due out
on Friday, or Saturday at the latest. The man had headed to
Hunters Hut, at the head of the Wanganui River.
Officer in charge of the search, Sergeant Sean Judd, said the
man was carrying a personal locater beacon, however it had
not been set off.
"He was reasonably well equipped we understand, with food for
that week."
Search teams currently in the field were made up of police
staff and members of Land Search and Rescue from both
Hokitika and south Westland.
Weather conditions were favourable allowing search teams to
cover areas they were not able to yesterday.
Previous search efforts included a helicopter, which flew
over the area the man was believed to have been in and was
also used to deploy a specialist white water rescue team
which kayaked the main river yesterday.
A tarpaulin identified as belonging to the missing man was
located on the banks of the Wanganui River.
The man's parents were currently travelling to Hokitika and
his name was expected to be released following further
consultation with them.
West Coast police search and rescue co-ordinator senior
constable Mike Tinnell yesterday said heavy rain in the area
last week had caused rivers to rise quickly and there was the
possibility the man was holed up because of the swollen

I tried many social sharing plugins, and got tired of the loading time. This plugin is very quick to load visually (it might just take longer for the counters to show up), so it's so much better than most of the other plugins in my opinion.
The only two problems I have are these :
- The Facebook counter is displaying shares, not likes. That's a big difference...
- You can't choose not to display the social links on the homepage, search results, archives, etc. from within the plugin. You have to do it manually for the time being.
For these reasons, I stopped using the plugin for now, and I can't put more than 3 stars. But if these get fixed, this plugin might very well deserve a 5.

A computer virus that has infected more than 60,000 machines in Iran may be a sophisticated cyber-warfare attack on Iran's clandestine nuclear arms programme, software experts have told The Times.
The "Stuxnet Worm" was detected in July but has since evolved through a number of refinements. This virus is distinct because it is designed to attack the software that controls machinery in a specific industrial installation.
Industry experts have speculated that the target could be the Natanz facility, where Iran conducts its nuclear enrichment programme.
Western computer software engineers have spent months examining the virus, which remains focused on Iran,

Obama: 'If You Love Me, You Got To Help Me Pass This Bill'
The realities of governing as opposed to the unrealities of presidential campaigns may have made President Obama a much more human figure compared with the almost messiah-like status he had in the eyes of many supporters in 2008.
But that doesn't mean there still isn't the occasional moment reminiscent of a Bible story.
At a rally on the campus of North Carolina State in Raleigh, N.C. Wednesday where President Obama went to drum up support for his jobs bill, this happened.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: I love you, Barack!
THE PRESIDENT: I love you back. (Applause.) But first — but if you love me — if you love me, you got to help me pass this bill. (Applause.) If you love me, you got to help me pass this bill.
Here's John 21:15, the New International Version, describing a scene between Jesus and his disciples:
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter,"Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?"
"Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."

Neuronal cell deterioration; Neuronal cell death
Neurodegeneration refers to the processes whereby damaged neuronal cells deteriorate or degenerate and eventually die.
Since the body's ability to replace lost neurons (i.e., such as via neurogenesis) is quite limited when compared to many nonneuronal cells, degenerative processes affecting neurons can be quite devastating.
Basic Mechanisms
The basic mechanisms underlying the neuronal cell degeneration and death observed in the neurologic disorders as diverse as Alzheimer's disease and stroke have not been fully elucidated. However, a number of distinct factors and processes clearly contribute to neurodegeneration including increased oxidative stress and free radical damage, impaired mitochondrial function, excitotoxicity, immunologic and inflammatory mechanisms, impaired trophic factor support, and altered cell signaling. In the process of neuronal degeneration, cells eventually die as a r ...

Is there a distribution of Linux that includes support in the gui for managing 802.1q (trunks)
We have techs in the field that may need to change from one vlan to another but don't know Linux CLI at all.
Thank you, Ken
closed as not constructive by Magellan, EEAA♦, Chris S Oct 12 '12 at 20:18
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The latest release of NetworkManager (0.9.4) is supposed to have added support for VLANs. Whether it's yet in your distribution of choice is another question, though.
I wouldn't recommend changing an existing distribution to accommodate this single feature request.
I don't know of any GUI that can help define vlan configurations, but assuming your deployed systems are similar, it may make sense to either document the process to make vlan changes from the command line or automate/script the process to make it more technician-friendly.
Which distribution are you currently using?

|Sammy the Eagle
The United States Sports Academy is an accredited, sport-specific institution located in Daphne, Alabama. It offers bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree programs as well as certificate programs. Founded in 1972, the Academy has provided its sports programs to more than 60 countries around the world.
Dr. Thomas P. Rosandich founded the Academy in 1972 in response to an inferior performance by the United States Olympic team in the 1972 Munich Games. Athletes were lacking quality coaching and training. The Academy's programs served as an education resource to upgrade coaching through instruction, research and service.
The Academy's campus is also home to the American Sport Art Museum and Archives (ASAMA), which was founded in 1984. The collection contains more than 1,000 works of sport art from world-renowned artists, many of whom have been honored by the Academy as Sport Artist of the Year. The Academy is also developing an outdoor Sculpture Park on campus, which is dedicated to celebrating sport with the erection of numerous environmentally friendly sculptures.
Another aspect of the Academy is its Awards of Sport series, also known as its tribute to "The Artist and the Athlete." These awards honor sports figures for their accomplishments and achievements in such things as performance, humanitarian activities, fitness and media.
Amos Alonzo Stagg Coaching Award[edit]
- Note: There is a separate "Amos Alonzo Stagg Award" presented by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA).
- For list of awardees, see footnote[1]

Art history doctoral candidates favor 20th century artHistorians in the News
No, not the research scientists — the newly minted Ph.D.'s in art history. What kinds of art, past and present and from around the globe, are of pressing interest?
The answer is: mostly Modern art, mostly from North America and Europe. The 21st century is scrutinizing the century that preceded it.
According to lists compiled by the College Art Association, a venerable professional group whose membership includes the vast majority of American academics in the field, the most-studied area for doctoral candidates in the U.S. and Canada last year — by a long shot — was art made in roughly the last 100 years. Paul Klee, Eduardo Paolozzi and Kazimir Malevich were among the subjects of 67 doctoral dissertations in the category.
The 29 categories listed by CAA range alphabetically from "African (Sub-Saharan)" to "World Art," a cross-cultural, transnational discipline. Twentieth century painting, sculpture, design and other art had 50% more doctoral dissertations accepted in 2010 than the next most popular field....

Sage, an orphan, spends most of his time pickpocketing on the streets near his orphanage until he is purchased by a King's Regent, who also purchases two other boys of similar appearance. The three boys are taken to the Regent's estate, where they are they are told that the King, Queen, and Heir to the throne have all been murdered. The knowledge is supposed to stay secret, since it will cause a civil war among the Kingdom's factions--there is no other Heir to the throne since the King's second son disappeared four years earlier. The Regent, however, has a plan--resurrect the dead prince, and have him claim the throne. Thus, the three boys he bought are all trained to be the vanished prince, with the knowledge that the two who fail will be killed to avoid the scheme being exposed.

Questions about numbers expressible as the quotient of two integers. For questions on determining whether a number is rational, use the (rationality-testing) tag instead.
In mathematics, a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction $\frac pq$ of two integers, with the denominator $q$ not equal to zero. Since $q$ may be equal to $1$, every integer is a rational number. The set of all rational numbers is usually denoted by $\mathbb{Q}$; it was thus named in 1895 by Peano after quoziente, Italian for "quotient".

N. Korean leader pays tribute to founder on birthday
SEOUL (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-un paid respects to his grandfather and founder of the communist country on April 15 marking his 102nd birthday, the North's state media said.
Kim visited the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun, where the body of Kim Il-sung, along with his son and former leader Kim Jong-un, lies in state, according to the North's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
The founding father died in 1994, and his birthday is one of the most important holidays in North Korea.
In his visit to the palace, the young leader Kim was accompanied by senior officials, including Choe Ryong-hae, the military's top political officer, and Jang Jong-nam, the minister of the People's Armed Forces, the KCNA said.
Those accompanying Kim "made a pledge to complete the revolutionary cause and the military-first policy" initiated by the two predecessors, according to the media.
The junior Kim took the helm of the communist country in 2011 following the sudden death of Kim Jong-il, who also inherited power from his father Kim Il-sung.
N.K. human rights issue should be addressed in six-way talks: Kirby
WASHINGTON (Yonhap) -- North Korean human rights abuses should be formally discussed at the six-party talks, even though the talks focus mainly on the communist nation's nuclear program, the head of a U.N. investigation team said on April 14 .
Michael Kirby, chief of the Commission of Inquiry (COI), stressed that the North Korean human rights issue should be addressed in every dialogue with Pyongyang.
He pointed out, however, it is still uncertain when the six-party talks will resume. The talks were last held in December 2008, joined by the two Koreas, the U.S., China, Japan and Russia.
The Australian judge was speaking at a seminar hosted by the Brookings Institution.
After a year-long probe, the COI said in a February report that North Korean leaders are responsible for "widespread, systematic and gross" violations of human rights there.
It recommended the matter be brought to the International Criminal Court.
N. Korea blasts Park's unification initiatives
SEOUL (Yonhap) -- North Korea launched scathing verbal attacks against South Korean President Park Geun-hye on April 12, calling her unification initiatives unveiled in March in Germany "irrelevant and nonsensical."
In her "Dresden Declaration" made in March in the former East German city of the same name, Park unveiled a package of proposals calling for bolstering exchanges with the North, including Seoul's humanitarian aid projects for the impoverished North, as she pushed to end the Korean Peninsula's six-decade divide.
"The Dresden Declaration is a nonsensical statement made by an anti-reunification element who deceived the public with hypocrisy and deception as she offered no solution, ignorant of the present state of the North-South relations," said a spokesman for the powerful National Defense Commission.
"The proposal is irrelevant and indifferent to the improvement and development of the inter-Korean relations," the spokesman said in a statement carried out by the state-run official news outlet the Korean Central News Agency.
The statement also claimed Park's policy on unification with North Korea was designed to hurt the ideology and socialist system of the North.
Park has been calling for expanded inter-Korean exchanges and cooperation to recover a sense of common identity as she laid out a road map for how the two rival Koreas should work toward reunification.
She has made strong pitches for unification in recent months, saying it would be an economic "bonanza" for the two Koreas, as well as a blessing for neighboring countries, because it will touch off massive investments in North Korea, including in infrastructure projects.
But cross-border relations, which had shown signs of thawing, have taken a turn for the worse in recent weeks, after Pyongyang carried out a series of provocative actions by threatening to carry out a "new form" of nuclear tests, launching midrange missiles and conducting a live-fire exercise.
The North's recent show of force was apparently mainly in response to ongoing joint military exercises between the South and the United States, which Pyonyang has denounced as a war rehearsal against it.
N. Korea vows to take 'self-defense' measure against U.S. hostility
SEOUL (Yonhap) -- North Korea threatened to take self-defense measures against what it claims is Washington's hostility toward it, the North's state news agency said on April 11.
North Korea has frequently accused the U.S. of harboring hostile policy toward Pyongyang and plotting with South Korea to invade the North, a charge denied by Washington.
"As long as the U.S. persists in its hostile policy toward (North Korea) according to its high-handed, arbitrary and gangster-like double standards, (North Korea) will push ahead with the countermeasures for self-defense," the North's powerful National Defense Commission said in an English-language statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency.
The latest threats by North Korea of "countermeasures" apparently refer to long-range missile launches or even a nuclear test, according to experts.
North Korea has recently threatened to carry out a "new form" of nuclear test in anger over a condemnation by the United Nations of its ballistic missile launches into the sea off its east coast.
North Korea conducted nuclear tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013, drawing international condemnation and U.N. sanctions.
The North's commission also called on the U.S. to roll back its hostile policy and lift all sanctions on the North, which Pyongyang claims were masterminded by the U.S., apparently referring to the ones slapped on the North by the U.N. Security Council over its missile launches and nuclear tests.
The North's powerful commission accused the U.S. of employing double standards when responding to missile tests by the rival Koreas.
On March 23, South Korea successfully test-fired a ballistic missile capable of reaching all parts of the communist country, a move that caused no international outcry, except from North Korea.
The North test-fired two ballistic missiles into the sea off its east coast just three days later, resulting in an immediate U.N. condemnation.
"If the ballistic missile launched by the South Korean puppet forces is not problematic, (North Korea's) launch of satellites or rockets will be of no problem, either," the National Defense Commission said.
A 2009 U.N resolution demands the North not conduct any further nuclear tests or any launches using ballistic missile technology. It also called on the North to suspend all activities related to its ballistic missile program.
Unlike the North, South Korea is not subject to any U.N. resolution on ballistic missiles.
S. Korea offers to conditionally lift sanctions on N. Korea
SEOUL (Yonhap) -- South Korea's point man on North Korea made a conditional offer on April 11 to lift its sanctions imposed on Pyongyang nearly four years ago following its deadly attack.
South Korea slapped blanket economic sanctions on the North in May 2010 in retaliation for the sinking of a warship near their disputed western sea border that killed 46 South Korean sailors.
Under the sanctions, South Korea has suspended inter-Korean projects and banned its new investment in the North, except for their joint factory park in the North's western city of Kaesong.
South Korea "is willing to lift" the sanctions, but the North must take some actions for that to happen, Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae said in a parliamentary session, without elaborating.
South Korea has repeatedly pressed North Korea to admit its involvement in the sinking of the South Korean warship.
A South Korean-led international investigation found that North Korea torpedoed the warship on March 26, 2010, though Pyongyang has denied its responsibility.
In late 2010, the North also shelled a South Korean island near the sea border, killing two soldiers and two civilians. The North has also refused to take responsibility for the deadly attack.
Ryoo also said that the North's latest power structure is stable as the North apparently tried to minimize destabilizing factors, if any, from the execution of leader Kim Jong-un's once-powerful uncle, Jang Song-thaek, in December.
His assessment came two days after Kim was re-elected as North Korea's leader in the first session of the country's new parliament.
The North's octogenarian ceremonial head of state, Kim Yong-nam, was retained as president of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly, while Premier Pak Pong-ju also kept his job, an apparent sign that Pyongyang is seeking stability amid tensions with Seoul and Washington.

12 MLB Players Accept 50-Game Suspensions for Biogenesis Connections [UPDATED]
Update 3:10 p.m. (EST): MLB has released an official statement confirming the suspensions of the players listed below.
