Combined dispatches
Tracy Morgan's mother's Youngstown home is about to go into foreclosure, and her famous actor son is refusing to help her, several national media outlets are reporting.
Alicia Warden, who is just over 60, is quoted on CNN.com, huffingtonpost.com and nydailynews.com saying her son at one point agreed to pay off the $25,000 mortgage on her South Side home but has
reneged, offering — through an assistant — only a one-time gift of $2,000.
The Daily News said Forbes lists the "30 Rock" and former "Saturday Night Live" star's worth at $18 million.
Morgan's younger sister, Asia Morgan, has no kind words for her brother.
"He's never been a nice person," she told the Daily News. "And money's just made it worse."
Her mother's house is modest, and she's in failing health with diabetes and deteriorating legs, she said.
"This would be a drop in the bucket for Tracy. She has a son that can do, and she's done everything that she possibly could for her family."
"She ran numbers, but she did it to put food on the table," Asia told the Daily News. "We were raised in the [Tompkins] projects [in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn], but we didn't think we were poor."
Warden herself confirmed that to CNN, saying she struggled many years to provide for her son's needs as a child, but now that she's lost her job, he's refusing to help her.
When her son's assistant called her to communicate Tracy's meager offer, she told CNN, "I was so upset, I told her to tell Tracy 'Thank you, but no thanks. I am not some person on the street asking you for a handout; I am your mother.' And that was the end of that."
After her job loss a year ago, Warden's income fell to $600 a month. Her monthly mortgage payment is $400, and if it is not made by Feb. 23, the home will go into foreclosure, her daughter told CNN.
Warden herself told the Daily News that her utilities also are about to be turned off and she's facing the loss of her car as well.
She even faxed her son her account number and mortgage papers after his offer to help. "I thought he was paying it, but after a few months, I realized he didn't pay it off," she told CNN. She said a relative told her her son was angry about publicity given to the story, but Warden said she never divulged the information to the media.
Her daughter said her mother has five children with her and her brother's late father, and none but her actor brother is in a position to help, even though all have jobs.
Warden told CNN she has trouble walking, and her unemployment benefits just expired.
"It took me 30 years or more to buy a home," she said, noting she worked two to three jobs at times to support her kids. "No one took care of them but me," she said.
Morgan, 43, grew up in Brooklyn. His mother moved the family to Youngstown in 1995, a decade after the actor left home, Asia Morgan said.
She said the family is unable to speak with her brother because he changes his number all the time.
Warden said she does not know why her son is
estranged from the family.
Huffington Post reports that he portrayed her unfavorably in his
2009 book, "I'm the New Black."
"No one did anything to him," she told CNN. "... I am not trying to hurt
Tracy. I love my children to death."
I dont know the whole story but its his mother fer Gods sake ! ya only have one mom . No matter what unless she beat the hell out of him and even then .... The children shall turn on the parents and the parents shall turn on the children, money and greed shall grip the world there shall be earthquakes in the final days.....
thats a darn shame...
What a jerk, thats your mother for crying out loud.
To bad you could'nt act on the old saying, " I brought you into this world I will take you out."
Because the fool had it rough growing up with a single parent he wants to blame the pain on circumstances, living in his past instead of living in today and making himself a better person.
To each is own.
Never watched the show , now I will never watch it.
For someone who has a tattoo on his back saying "ME, MYSELF, & I" what do you expect. Help your freakin Mom you idiot.
Just saying... has anyone verified that there is actually a foreclosure???
Forget Tracy; welfare will provide for mom. Just like welfare provided for her kids.
Not sure I understood this right...6 people in the house, all working, and they can't make a house payment?
Every family is different. It isn't always like it is on the Cosby Show or Eight is Enough. If Morgan chooses to be estranged from his family, then that is his choice. While I don't agree with that choice, it isn't my family so I cannot make that choice.
And, a little FYI; The home is valued at $10, 580.00 on the Mahoning County Auditors website. The home was bought in July of 1998 for $31,400.
Makes you wonder if there is more to this story. I mean if the home was bought for such a low price, how in 17 years of owning the home does she still owe such a large chunk of the mortgage?
Sounds like there is another side to this story that Morgan's mom isn't telling anyone.
Many hands make light work. Her community is a part of her family and will help her. If a contact person is made available, I have no doubt that I and others would help (food, clothing, and financially if possible).
I honestly can't believe that Tracy Morgan can be worth $18M. Who in their right mind would pay this non-talent anything. He is not remotely funny or good at acting. Maybe he has some private info on the brass at NBC and is blackmailing them.
Walter- I do agree his acting skills are suspect. But, I think he earns his money on 30 Rock. That show his hilarious and everyone on that show was perfectly cast.
You are a shame, Tracy. A shame. What do you have in life, that was not given to you by a higher being? God chose you, of the whole lot. Now see how you're representing God. No matter what, you can outgrow your pain and help your siblings. Do not despise your mother, son. I don't care what she did against you, I hold strongly that for the simple reason she carried you in he belly for 9 months and labored to bring you into this life, please think like God and help her. That is what makes a man. Power, by definition, is knowing you have the ability to make somebody suffer for a wrong, BUT decide against making the person suffer. I have an aged mother and she once told me "Son, its so nice to be alive because of you." My response to her was "Mother, remember God used you to bring me to life." Leave anger alone, my friend, and take care of yor aged mother like I do mine.

"[T]his is a book that will be read with great interest by both pilots as well as those looking to understand how American society has changed in the last 60 years." - Midwest Book Review/Reviewer's Bookwatch
"Amy Goodpaster Strebe has penned a fine history of women military pilots….Until now, the role played by women in the air forces of the U.S. and the Soviet Union has gone largely unrecognized. Flying For Her Country goes a long way in correcting this oversight. Highly Recommended." - WWII History
"Strebes book is excellent….Meticulously researched, well-written, and convincingly argued and documented….One of the book's great strengths is a comprehensive bibliography that makes it particularly valuable as a reference for students and professionals alike." - Air & Space/Smithsonian
"During WWII, women pilots were given the opportunity to fly military aircraft for the first time. In the US, famed aviatrix Jacqueline Cochran formed the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) program, which sent over 1,000 women flyers to ferry aircraft from factories to airbases throughout the US and Canada. In the Soviet Union, Marina Raskova, famous for her historic Far East flight in 1938, formed the USSR's first all-female aviation regiments, which flew combat missions along the Eastern Front. Historian and journalist Strebe, one of the leading experts on the women military pilots of WWII, tells their stories, and looks at the obstacles these women faced as they challenged assumptions of male supremacy in wartime culture. B&W historical photos are included." - Reference & Research Book News

The 50 Absolute Sexiest Things Ryan Gosling Did In 2013
A recap of everything Ryan Gosling did in 2013 that could be considered sexy. Also jizzworthy.
1. In 2013, Ryan Gosling looked at something on the ground.
2. He held a reusable water bottle.
3. He pointed while holding that reusable water bottle.
4. And then, for some reason, he laughed.
5. He walked to a van…
6. …lifted his head, smelled something funny, and made a face.
7. Then he waited for an older man to open the door to the van.
8. Another time he pumped gas.
9. He lifted the nozzle, did that whole "how does this pump work?" thing, and then began filling up his truck.
10. He pumped.
11. He fisted.
12. He let his dog sniff his arm.
13. Then he did that whole "how do I pay at this gas station pump?"
14. He prayed the credit card slot worked so he wouldn't have to actually go inside and pay.
And it worked. So he left.
15. Who could forget that argument he got in with a bush?
16. The angst.
17. The confusion.
18. And ultimately, the rejection.
19. There was that time he was cold, but not cold enough to zip up his jacket.
20. That time he stood next to a woman who just couldn't seem to figure it out.
21. But then they talked it out, Ryan was like, "Come on, please," and she got over it because Ryan Gosling told her to.
22. In 2013, Ryan made sure he still had his wallet.
23. He carried a tripod in front of a woman eating ice cream.
24. He tried to read a really old map.
25. And in a surprise move, he handed the really old map off to a man in a sleeveless shirt.
26. A true highlight of 2013 happened when Ryan was in a field with a box.
27. He bent over…
28. …and then lifted, carried, and transported the box.
29. Earlier in the year, Ryan met a boy.
30. The two were spotted sharing a tender embrace.
31. But that was it. The two haven't been spotted together since. There is this photo of Ryan thinking about what to text next. One can only assume it's about his little fling.
32. The whole thing was pretty hard on our boy.
33. Plus you know he had to deal with that troll Eva Mendes at home.
34. Moving on to more positive things. Most people look kind of weird when they smile with no teeth, but Ryan Gosling does not. He looks hot af.
35. Now let's talk about the velvet suit.
36. That was the day Sir Jesus Christ himself came out to see our boy.
37. That suit though.
38. I sometimes like to imagine what that suit feels like…
39. …against my naked body.
41. Anyways, he did his perfect little smile in his little velvet suit.
42. Then he looked like he was going to cry or had to take a shit or something.
43. He even did that squint thing that makes me want to die.
So I did. RIP.
44. But the brown suit resurrected me.
45. One of the highlights of the brown suit happened when Ryan looked at the camera.
46. He longingly gazed in picture form at his own real self.
47. And then pointed at a teen.
48. There was that time Ryan got all Bill Nye on our asses and grabbed dust particles.
49. Sweet Jesus, his laugh.
50. And he held Will Ferrell.
Lucky bastard.

About this Business
From Our Editors
In a way, Kilo is much like kindergarten. It teaches one to share, and there are plenty of blocks to play with—they're just stuck in the walls and called bricks. With an ever-evolving seasonal menu, the tapas restaurant allows guests to dine socially on small, shareable plates of marinated mixed olives, goat-cheese crostini, and ceviche tacos. Whenever possible, Kilo sources its ingredients from local farms and artisans.
The space is small, but the ambiance is carefully cultivated to welcome an upscale crowd. The decor falls somewhere between minimalist and well appointed, with racks of wine hanging from one exposed brick wall and framed photos lining an adjacent painted one. A rustic yet finely sanded wood-grain bar looks up to a galaxy of wineglasses, and a modicum of natural sunlight crawls from the all-glass façade to the back of the space. The kitchen begins to serve small plates at 4:30 p.m., and reds and whites from the wine menu fill glasses until the restaurant closes at midnight.

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
Canadian customs has long had a reputation for being quick to seize any comics they find potentially obscene, and Tom Neely learned that the hard way this morning, as Canadian customs officers reportedly confiscated the five copies of the Black Eye anthology that he was bringing with him to the Toronto Comic Arts Festival. Ryan Standfest, editor/publisher of Rotland Press + Comic Works, which publishes Black Eye, emailed Neely's account of the incident to The Comics Journal:
… They took 'em. I tried to get them to just ship them back to me at home, but they said they were required to send it to Ottawa for review… if they found the material to be 'obscene' they would take 'further action.' I asked what 'further action' meant and he said they would just destroy them. Or there is a chance they might ship them back to me.
Black Eye is an anthology of dark humor, which was funded in part by a Kickstarter campaign; apparently a page by singly named artist Onsmith is what first caught the customs officer's eye. The book also contains work by Ivan Brunetti, Lilli Carré, and Paul Hornschemeier, among others, and essays by Jeet Heer and other luminaries, and an interview with Al Feldstein … it's hard to argue that this anthology wouldn't have redeeming features. Nonetheless, the customs agent wouldn't let it through, and kept talking about "further action," which certainly sounds ominous.
Although Neely seems to have been taken by surprise, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund issued an advisory just two months ago about taking comics across international borders.
And this certainly isn't the first time this has happened. Continue Reading »
Back around Halloween '09, I whipped up a little list of "six deeply creepy alt-horror cartoonists," a list of modern masters of the macabre that included The Blot's Tom Neely and Ectopiary's Hans Rickheit. Now both artists are dealing with something even scarier than their comics: the economy. And both are looking for financial help to keep their projects going.
First up is Hans Rickheit, whose latest graphic novel The Squirrel Machine was published by Fantagraphics, and whose webcomic Ectopiary has had its praises sung by my colleague Brigid Alverson (among many others). Rickheit announced the other day that the business where he worked has closed down, leaving him without a job or income and forcing him to suspend production of Ectopiary indefinitely. "If you've ever considered buying any artwork or books," he writes, "this would really be a very helpful time to do so." You can buy pages from his Xeric-winning erotic-horror graphic novel Chloe here, pages from his steampunk-by-way-of-David-Cronenberg book The Squirrel Machine here, many of his comics direct from Rickheit himself here, or simply donate what you will here.
How's this for a Valentine's Day treat? In the slash-eriffic vein of Tom Neely and Igloo Tornado's Henry & Glenn Forever — the surprise-hit minicomic that reimagined musclebound hardcore-punk progenitors Henry Rollins (Black Flag) and Glenn Danzig (The Misfits) as a happily cohabitating couple — comes Prison Pit troublemaker Johnny Ryan's latest strip for Vice magazine, "Mark + Gary Forever." For the New Wave-impaired, that's Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh and synthpop icon Gary Numan, united by their shared sense of futuristic weirdness — and now, in Ryan's comic, L-O-V-E. In a story drawing heavily from their biggest hits, "Whip It" and "Cars" respectively, Mark and Gary have a lovers' quarrel over Gary's profligate spending. Will they patch things up? Are they not men? Are "friends" electric? The answers to these questions and more await you at the link — and at the big Henry & Glenn Gang-Bang group art show and book signing at Los Angeles' La Luz de Jesus Gallery this coming Friday, featuring contributions (some old, some new!) by the whole Igloo Tornado gang, plus Ryan, Jordan Crane, COOP, Kaz, Steven Weissman, Bald Eagles and many more. It's the only way to live!
Move over, Rudolph and Charlie Brown: There's a new Christmas cartoon classic in town. Exploding from the pages of Henry & Glenn Forever — the very very funny romance/gag-strip comic chronicling the eternal love between musclebound, black-clad hardcore progenitors Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig — comes the Henry & Glenn Forever X-Mas Special, an animated short by cartoonist and animator Tom Neely. Neely, who co-created Henry & Glenn Forever with fellow Igloo Tornado art-collective members Gin Stevens, Scot Nobles, and Dino Fucker, serves up a heartwarming tale reminiscent of O. Henry's "Gift of the Magi" — if, that is, "Gift of the Magi" included a visit from Black Santa and Krampus, a jam session with notorious Satanists Darryl Hall and John Oates, and an exchange of thong underwear and a book about Nazi werewolves, all in honor of the birthday of H.P. Lovecraft. It's the perfect reminder that the Henry & Glenn Forever comic makes a great fishnet-stocking stuffer. Season's greetings, you goddamn son of a bitch!
Alt-horror visionary Tom Neely — he of the much acclaimed, mostly wordless graphic novel The Blot — is at it again with another psychologically troubling take on the cartoon icons of the early 20th century. This time he's putting Popeye through the paces in Doppelgänger, an action-packed reinterpretation of E.C. Segar's sailor man. The book pits Popeye against his greatest enemy of all: himself. Multiple copies, in fact. It's not Neely's most overtly horrific work, to be sure, but doubles have been a staple of the uncanny for centuries (as Freud himself noted), and the scenes of Popeye and his duplicates assaulting one another evoke everything from Dead Ringers to 28 Days Later, all with impeccable linework that recalls the great master cartoonists of yore. You can order it through Neely's I Will Destroy You imprint. Tastier than spinach and twice as good for you, folks!

On Friday, publisher Alvin Buenaventura announced he had shut down his imprint Buenaventura Press as of this past January, due to a single knockout legal/financial blow. Publicly available details are few, in keeping with the private way the move has been handled for the past six months. But comics creators and critics en masse are mourning BP's demise and reading the tea leaves as to where its publisher, artists, and entire brand of comics will land.
Robot 6 reached out to several of the artists published by Buenaventura, as well as a few of his fellow publishers, for their reaction:
Working with Alvin over the years has been really amazing. He has introduced me to a lot of magical and influential artists and hooked me up with tons of inspiring and perverted books. His place has awesome shit scattered all over- mountains of crazy books, toys, memorabilia, gigantic figures, artwork- it's like a bomb went off. Now that he'll be taking a break from the business we'll finally have more time to play Rock Band and trip out on weird TV shows.
–Matt Furie, writer/artist, Boy's Club
The Blot author and and illustrator Tom Neely is no stranger to the metal or the macabre, and he combines the two — with sexy results! — in this NSFW painting of Robert E. Howard's Conan commissioned for an upcoming issue of Dark Horse's Conan comic.
If you'd like to see more of this kind of thing by Neely, I don't blame you; fortunately, he'd like to do more of it. Says Neely: "I had a ton of fun drawing this and it kinda makes me wanna do more of this kind of illustration work… That's a big hint to all you editors out there! Why hasn't anyone asked me to do something for Marvel's Strange Tales? Or a cover for the newly revived Creepy Comics? Or anything else… Hire me people!" Listen to the man, folks.
A pair of off-the-beaten-path comics have surfaced over the past few days that are perfect for readers who like their comics with a pop-cultural flair. First up, there's Henry & Glenn Forever, a collection of romantic one-panel gags starring those famous star-crossed lovers, Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig. If you've ever wanted to know how the lead singers of Black Flag and the Misfits would maintain a relationship in the face of interference from their Satan-worshipping next-door neighbors Darryl Hall and John Oates, now's your chance. Henry & Glenn Forever comes to us from Igloo Tornado, a collective consisting of The Blot's Tom Neely and his artistic compatriots Gin Stevens, Scott Nobles, and Levon Jihanian, and it's available for $4 from Microcosm.
Sniff, sniff — is that bacon I smell? It'd better not be! The Blot cartoonist Tom Neely provided this Dragnet-inspired t-shirt design for The Vegan Police, a Canadian college/community radio show dedicated to veganism, animal rights, and music made by vegan and vegetarian artists.
The shirts are just $20 Canadian plus shipping. Best of all, $10 per shirt goes directly to the Ruby Ranch Pig Sanctuary, an Ontario home for pigs raised as pets or on petting zoos but discarded by their owners when they got too big or too old. Now that's something to oink about!
T-shirts may be purchased by emailing, or sending the funds via PayPal, to theveganpoliceradio @ gmail dot com. Click the link for more info on sizing and such.
Before Halloween I posted a list of "Six Deeply Creepy Alt-Horror Cartoonists" as part of Robot 666's week-long reign of terror. Well, these avatars of alternative comics' dark side have been up to some interesting things lately. Feast your eyes on the latest enterprises of our strange sextet:
The Squirrel Machine's Hans Rickheit is selling original pages from his darkly erotic, Xeric-winning graphic novel Chloe. If you're in the original art market you can buy them straight from the artist himself here; if you'd just like to take a gander at the book itself, you can buy it here. (And I recommend you do so.)
I'll see your miniature Marvels by Zack Soto and raise you Tom Neely's Corpse Paint Post-It Portraits, a series of tiny oil-paint pen pictures of metal musicians known for sporting pancake make-up. Like Soto's series, these were created for Giant Robot's 4th annual Post-It show, featuring sticky little art by Jeffrey Brown, Jaime Hernandez, Paul Hornschemeier, Johnny Ryan, Hellen Jo, Lilli Carre, Anders Nilsen, Eleanor Davis, Vanessa Davis, Matt Furie, Nicholas Gazin, Leif Goldberg, Tim Hensley, and dozens of other artists. (Hey, when they're drawing that small, you can fit plenty!) I got a feeling we'll be seeing plenty of post-it posts before all is said and done. (Via Neely's blog)
What do you think of when you think of horror comics? Vintage EC shockers, black-clad Vertigo occult titles, weird and wild manga, modern-day success stories like 30 Days of Night and Hack/Slash, or the mother of all zombie comics The Walking Dead? For my money, the most reliably disturbing and disquieting work in the genre over recent years has come from artists who produce what you'd consider to be "alternative comics." These alt-horror cartoonists may not even think of themselves as horror-comics creators at all, eschewing as most of them do the rhythms and staples of conventional horror fiction. But by deploying altcomix' usual emphasis on tone and emotional effect in service of dark and macabre imagery, their comics haunt me all the more.
So for my contribution to Robot 666's daily horror-centric lists this week, I'm singing the praises of six talented alt-horror cartoonists. I could have listed quite a few more, mind you–some real giants of the field, including Gilbert Hernandez, Jaime Hernandez, Charles Burns, Jim Woodring, and Alan Moore & Eddie Campbell have done tremendous work in this area. But for me right now, these were the six who demanded the spotlight.
Tom Neely (The Blot) and Hellen Jo (Jin and Jam) have an exhibition of horror-themed work up at the Grass Hut Gallery in Portland. If you can't go though, you can see some of the work on display by going here and here (note: some of these images are a tad gruesome and may be NSFW) (link: Sean Collins)

Lauzon urges support for failed city and school budgetsApril 24,2013
By David Delcore
Staff Writer
BARRE – Mayor Thomas Lauzon says he didn't support either of the major budget proposals that were handily rejected by Granite City voters last month, but he does now.
Citing adjustments that have been made to spending plans for both the city and its centralized elementary school, and what he views as a now-tolerable increase in the local tax rate, Lauzon said Tuesday night that he is prepared to vote for both budgets next month and is urging others to do the same.
"I am hopeful that people will get out and recognize the effort that has gone (into revising these budgets)," he said, suggesting the sticker shock that prompted voters to decisively defeat them on Town Meeting Day was certainly understandable.
Lauzon said even he voted against the proposed budgets, which would have collectively added more than 13 cents to the local tax rate, an increase of about 4.9 percent. That increase would have meant paying an additional $136.50 in property taxes for every $100,000 in assessed value.
Thanks to a "team effort" that was a mix of "hard work" and good fortune, numbers Lauzon once viewed as "too high" are now about right, according to the mayor.

I am a database programmer, but new to WordPress.
The site I am building is at: http://CorvallisSecular.org
My web host provided a script for installing WordPress 3.4.2; after successfully running that, I promptly upgraded to 3.5.
I am NOT running "multi-site".
I installed wordpress to its own subdirectory: (http://CorvallisSecular.org/wordpress/)
I have a static front page, and a handful of other pages.
I am using the Graphene theme, and a few carefully selected plugins.
My "permalinks" is set to: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
My problem is that I want my blog page slug to simply be "blog", but WordPress insists on making it "blog-2".
Other people on this site have had this problem previously, and the solution was that they hadn't emptied their trash.
I have deleted the blog page, emptied the trash, recreated it, and WordPress insists on making the permalink "blog-2". I can change it to anything I like -- except "blog". It's not giving me this grief with any of the other pages on my site.
I haven't created a category or tag named "blog", and I have no "blog" subdirectory, or file in my file structure. Nothing else should be using this slug.
One clue: If I try to visit http://CorvallisSecular.org/blog/, it redirects to the root of my site. If I type gibberish in place of "blog", I get a 404. So SOMETHING is up...
Does anyone have any word of wisdom? I REALLY want my "blog" slug!
Thank you in advance...

Monitoring Virtual Memory with vmstat
Linux novices often find virtual memory mysterious, but with a grasp of the fundamental concepts, it's easy to understand. With this knowledge, you can monitor your system's memory utilization using vmstat and detect problems that can adversely affect system performance.
Physical memory—the actual RAM installed—is a finite resource on any system. The Linux memory handler manages the allocation of that limited resource by freeing portions of physical memory when possible.
All processes use memory, of course, but each process doesn't need all its allocated memory all the time. Taking advantage of this fact, the kernel frees up physical memory by writing some or all of a process' memory to disk until it's needed again.
The kernel uses paging and swapping to perform this memory management. Paging refers to writing portions, termed pages, of a process' memory to disk. Swapping, strictly speaking, refers to writing the entire process, not just part, to disk. In Linux, true swapping is exceedingly rare, but the terms paging and swapping often are used interchangeably.
When pages are written to disk, the event is called a page-out, and when pages are returned to physical memory, the event is called a page-in. A page fault occurs when the kernel needs a page, finds it doesn't exist in physical memory because it has been paged-out, and re-reads it in from disk.
Page-ins are common, normal and are not a cause for concern. For example, when an application first starts up, its executable image and data are paged-in. This is normal behavior.
Page-outs, however, can be a sign of trouble. When the kernel detects that memory is running low, it attempts to free up memory by paging out. Though this may happen briefly from time to time, if page-outs are plentiful and constant, the kernel can reach a point where it's actually spending more time managing paging activity than running the applications, and system performance suffers. This woeful state is referred to as thrashing.
Using swap space is not inherently bad. Rather, it's intense paging activity that's problematic. For instance, if your most-memory-intensive application is idle, it's fine for portions of it to be set aside when another large job is active. Memory pages belonging to an idle application are better set aside so the kernel can use physical memory for disk buffering.
vmstat, as its name suggests, reports virtual memory statistics. It shows how much virtual memory there is, how much is free and paging activity. Most important, you can observe page-ins and page-outs as they happen. This is extremely useful.
To monitor the virtual memory activity on your system, it's best to use vmstat with a delay. A delay is the number of seconds between updates. If you don't supply a delay, vmstat reports the averages since the last boot and quit. Five seconds is the recommended delay interval.
To run vmstat with a five-second delay, type:
vmstat 5
You also can specify a count, which indicates how many updates you want to see before vmstat quits. If you don't specify a count, the count defaults to infinity, but you can stop output with Ctrl-C.
To run vmstat with ten updates, five seconds apart, type:
vmstat 5 10
Here's an example of a system free of paging activity:
procs memory swap io system cpu r b w swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id 0 0 0 29232 116972 4524 244900 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 29232 116972 4524 244900 0 0 0 0 2560 6 0 1 99 0 0 0 29232 116972 4524 244900 0 0 0 0 2574 10 0 2 98
All fields are explained in the vmstat man page, but the most important columns for this article are free, si and so. The free column shows the amount of free memory, si shows page-ins and so shows page-outs. In this example, the so column is zero consistently, indicating there are no page-outs.
The abbreviations so and si are used instead of the more accurate po and pi for historical reasons.
Here's an example of a system with paging activity:
procs memory swap io system cpu r b w swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id . . . 1 0 0 13344 1444 1308 19692 0 168 129 42 1505 713 20 11 69 1 0 0 13856 1640 1308 18524 64 516 379 129 4341 646 24 34 42 3 0 0 13856 1084 1308 18316 56 64 14 0 320 1022 84 9 8
Notice the nonzero so values indicating there is not enough physical memory and the kernel is paging out. You can use top and ps to identify the processes that are using the most memory.
You also can use top to show memory and swap statistics. Here is an example of the uppermost portion of a typical top report:
14:23:19 up 348 days, 3:02, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 55 processes: 54 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 0.0% user, 2.4% system, 0.0% nice, 97.6% idle Mem: 481076K total, 367508K used, 113568K free, 4712K buffers Swap: 1004052K total, 29852K used, 974200K free, 244396K cached
For more information about top, see the top man page.
"A page fault occurs when
"A page fault occurs when the kernel needs a page, finds it doesn't exist in physical memory because it has been paged-out, and re-reads it in from disk"
I'm wondering if that's supposed to read
"A page in occurs when the kernel needs a page, finds it doesn't exist in physical memory because it has been paged-out, and re-reads it in from disk"
Since there is no other mention of page fault in the article and this one instance of page fault is surrounded by talk about page in.
Page Fault/In
The reaction to a "page fault" is a "page in".
The jist of what's written is correct, but there are a couple of minor errors. Page faults occur when any application (and not just the kernel) needs a page that is not currently in memory. A page fault is also not a "kernel" thing, it's a hardware thing. The reaction to the fault, often a "page in" is handled by the kernel. Also, the setup required to support virtual memory is handled by the kernel, but the fault itself is all hardware.
There is also a slight inaccuracy in stating that the fault occurs because the page was previously paged out. The page that causes the fault does not have to have been previously paged out. If the page referred to program code it doesn't get paged out, it just gets paged in when the fault occurs since the code exists in the executable file and doesn't need to be paged out. A page fault can also occur when trying to access memory beyond the end of the stack, thus signalling the O/S that more stack space needs to be allocated, but this again is memory that was never paged out. Here the page is just used as a guard or sentry to tell the O/S when the application needs more stack space.
So I would reword that sentence thusly:
A page fault occurs when the CPU needs a page which does not exist in physical memory. In response to the fault the kernel allocates a free page for the missing memory and if the page was previously paged out, the kernel pages in the previously paged out data. If the kernel is unable to find an unused page to allocate for the missing memory then an existing page will be freed and if need be paged out.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/13/14 -- Ernesto Echavarria (the "Acquiror") wishes to announce that on February 13, 2014, he acquired, by way of a private placement, ownership and control of 800,000 units ("Units") of Standard Graphite Corp. (the "Company") at an average price of $0.05 per Unit.
Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable into one common share of the Company for a period of 12 months at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.
The 800,000 common shares and 800,000 warrants acquired by the Acquiror (the "Transaction") represent approximately 2% (basic) and 4% (partially diluted, assuming the exercise of the Acquiror's warrants) of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company. Immediately following the Transaction, the Acquiror now owns and controls 3,450,000 common shares and 3,450,000 warrants of the Company, representing approximately 8% (basic) and 15% (partially diluted, assuming the exercise of the Acquiror's warrants) of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company.
The Acquiror acquired the Units pursuant to the Transaction for investment purposes. The Acquiror has no present intention to acquire ownership of, or control over, additional securities of the Company, but may choose to acquire additional securities of the Company in the future for investment purposes.
This news release is being issued pursuant to Part 3 of National Instrument 62-103 The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues of the Canadian Securities Administrators. A copy of the report filed by the Acquiror in connection with the acquisition of the Common Shares is available on the Company's SEDAR profile, and it can also be obtained directly from the Acquiror by contacting him at the number shown above.

Deploying applications in hybrid cloud environments is hard work. Your team spends most of the time maintaining your infrastructure, configuring dev/test and production environments, and deploying applications across environments – which can be both time consuming and error prone. But what if you could automate provisioning and deployment to deliver error free environments faster? What could you do with your free time?

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Balancing act: Lessons in work-life balance show in many faces
I visited both with my family during our vacation, and one of the many things that struck me about these incredible, mountain-sized works of art was the fact that the men who designed both sculptures made their efforts a family affair.
Gutzon Borglum is known as the sculptor of Mount Rushmore, finding the faces of four American presidents in the granite of the Black Hills. But when Borglum died in 1941, his son, Lincoln, took on his father's responsibilities.
Likewise, the Crazy Horse Memorial started as a project of sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski. However, since his death in 1982, his wife (who died in May) and many of their children have continued to work on the mountain, slowly making progress on this immense monument to legendary Lakota leader Crazy Horse.
As my wife and I talked about these monuments, the sculptors and their families, she remarked that they, too, had a lesson to teach about finding balance in life. While it is safe to say that Borglum and Ziolkowski gave their lives to the monumental tasks for which they are best-known, it also appears that they found time to maintain and strengthen family ties.
If they could keep a focus on their families in such circumstances, I don't have any excuse not to do so. The next time I tell myself I'm too tired to spend quality time with my wife and children after eight hours in an air-conditioned office, I'll try to think about people who were close to their families despite spending hours handling dynamite on a mountain every day.
Work-life lessons really are all around us, whether in the faces of people we see every day, the faces of old friends with whom we are reconnecting or even stone faces carved into mountains. It's up to us to find those lessons and use them to improve our own lives.

In the fall 2014 edition of Cardozo Life magazine, we profile six alumni who are big names in the sports law field. Check out their stories:
Young Island - For myself, the event was not only fun and a great way to reconnect with my classmates, but an opportunity to meet other Cardozo alumni, learn about their experiences and get some great advice. I was happy to see how approachable and kind everyone was, and I had great conversations with alumni from each class.
Cardozo Law congratulates our alumni of the year, Arthur M. Luxenberg '84, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C. and Hon. Martin Shulman '81, Associate Justice, Appellate Term, 1st Judicial Department Justice, Supreme Court, New York County.
Cardozo Life - "Booting Up" looks at the new employment opportunities afforded lawyers in the NYC tech sector.
Hunter Shkolnik '85 is Featured in Vanity Fair for Bringing Lawsuits Against Merck, Manufacturer of the NuvaRing
Vanity Fair - Brenner interviews Hunter Shkolnik, a lawyer bringing lawsuits against Merck. Shkolnik tells Brenner that Organon (the Dutch pharmaceutical company that created the device) launched into NuvaRing's marketing with a scientist's research study that had examined only 16 women using NuvaRing.
The Hollywood Reporter - Today, his social impact agency, Propper Daley, works with Hollywood stars, including Tobey Maguire, to help shape their philanthropic efforts and advocacy. The New York native, who spent time on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and has degrees from Tufts and Cardozo, is a driving force behind Got Your 6, a coalition of major studios and agencies that works with nonprofit groups to explore veterans' issues.

Marcus & Millichap Completes Best Western Sale
Tuesday January 7th, 2014 - 3:51PM

BRYAN, TX—Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services has arranged the sale of a 100-room Best Western Premier hotel located here. The terms of the sale were not disclosed.
"This transaction highlights Marcus & Millichap's unique ability to source opportunistic cross-product capital, work collaboratively within our national hotel team and with specialists in other product types and arrange financing to meet the needs of our clients," stated Gregory LaBerge, national director of Marcus & Millichap's National Hospitality Group. "The new owner of this hotel is a retail property investment firm in a 1031 exchange that ventured into the hospitality sector for the first time."
Marty Cohan, a vice president, investments and Douglas Cole, an associate, both in Marcus & Millichap's West Los Angeles office, represented the buyer, a private investment firm based in Hermosa Beach, CA.
"Our client asked us if it would be possible to sell their downleg property for them and find an upleg that was easier to manage: one that would produce a sustainable and substantial cash flow and that was in a growing and prosperous market area," stated Cohan. "We fulfilled all of these objectives by arranging the sale of the downleg property, a retail center that hadn't changed hands in 45 years, and worked with the firm's hotel specialists to bring in the Best Western Premier to complete the exchange."
David Greenberg, a vice president, investments in Marcus & Millichap's Fort Lauderdale office, along with Alan Miller, an associate vice president, investments in the firm's San Antonio office and Chris Gomes, a senior associate in Dallas, represented the seller, a private Texas-based investment group.
The Best Western Premier hotel is located three miles northeast of Texas A&M University. The location is within the Bryan-College Station metropolitan statistical area in Brazos Valley, which is also known as "Research Valley" and "The Innovation Capital of Texas."
Oldham Goodwin Group will continue to manage the hotel.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

The best thing about this hotel is the architecture, not only historically, but also with the attached restaurant and the loft room. Loved the space with the lofts; I haven't seen this unique room arrangement before. Staff is warm and welcoming. Kitchen is full-service - we didn't stay long enough to use it, but I would definitely consider staying here for a longer term stay. I would have liked to see two bed options, rather than simply one king size (we don't consider sleeper sofas as comfortable options). The one and a half baths was convenient. Unfortunately our television was not working. We had to call downstairs to get an engineer to fix it (we had ordered in pizza and wanted to order a movie; when that didn't work, we wanted to watch tv, but unfortunately, no entertainment was available in the room then). The engineer took a sort-of look (not terribly thorough - slapped the back), then said, oh, we have had lots of problems since transferring to a new system. Nothing I can do, sorry. We offered him a piece of pizza for taking the time to come up, and he commented that we wouldn't believe how many people have complained about the television service. Well, that's part of the hotel service, isn't it? Some accommodation should have been made, but they said they had no other options (not quite good enough for us). The only other negative aspect was the noise level in the upstairs bedroom. Unfortunately we were next to some pretty rambunctious kids - at 6 in the morning, when we had planned to sleep in until 9 a.m. No chance. They were running rampant, up and down the stairs, screaming, and we heard every little bit of it. The attached steam brewery restaurant was excellent (the pizza restaurant on the other side, only so-so), with an interesting history, great beer on tap, terrific foodie choices - love that it was there so close. Had we had quieter neighbors and a television that actually worked - either upstairs or down - we would have offered a higher rating for this architecturally distinct, well-located and interesting hotel.

This may mean that they're near absorbing the merger and back to reviews and auto CLIs...
i had the same thing happen to my son's secured Visa. II'm not sure what the merger had to do with anything, though, since most people say Navy federal has never unsecured cards in the past unless one reapplied.

Hello, Experts!
Few weeks ago, I upgraded WP mu for the websites that I am developing based on WP mu. After upgrading, I got the following message.
"The wp-content/blogs.php file is deprecated. Please remove it and update your server rewrite rules to use wp-includes/ms-files.php instead."
So, as the message says, I removed wp-content/blogs.php file and rewrote rules to use wp-includes/ms-files.php in the "htaccess file", as many people suggested. But, when I did that, all images that I have uploaded were gone. So, I reverted blogs.php file, then the images are appeared again.
My main concern with the error message is that the WordPress sites that I'm handling aren't working like they should— I'm afraid that if I update the sites and a newer version of WordPress is released, I will be still stuck trying to figure out the problems with the older version and won't be able to move forward.
Do you guys have any idea to fix this issue?
I look forward to hear any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

The Texas Panhandle's state lawmakers toured the region Thursday to announce their hopes to return to Austin for the 2001 session of the Legislature.
State Reps. John Smithee of Amarillo, Warren Chisum of Pampa and David Swinford of Dumas, all Republicans, announced their plans to run for re-election next year.
If the recent past is any guide, the three should have no trouble winning their seats for another two years.
Smithee, who has been in office the longest, defeated Justin McBride to win his first term in 1984. He's never been challenged again.
"I'm trying to figure out if it's me or the job," said Smithee, now in his eighth term. "I think I'm the only one who wants it."
Swinford, who won his first election in 1990, has not been challenged since 1992. Chisum, who switched from the Democratic Party to Republican in 1993, hasn't faced an opponent since then.
State Sen. Teel Bivins won't stand for re-election until 2002, but he was on hand at the Big Texan Steak Ranch for Thursday's announcement, and he said the unity of the Panhandle delegation is a rarity in Austin.
"Not only do we work well together, but we like each other," said Bivins, R-Amarillo. "So many other delegations are wracked with inter-party and intra-party fighting."
Bivins said the four lawmakers gather each Thursday morning for breakfast during the legislative session to discuss problems that affect the Panhandle.
"In the whirlwinds that arise during the 140-day session, it's easy to get your attention diverted," Bivins said. "I'm glad we can keep our attention focused on Panhandle issues."
The lawmakers had news conferences Thursday in Dumas and Pampa, though a scheduled stop in Hereford was canceled because Smithee had not yet returned from a business trip to Austin.
During the announcement in Amarillo, Smithee said the lawmakers - if re-elected - will work hard on re-districting for the 2001 legislative session.
Every 10 years, when the U.S. Census population figures are released, the Texas Legislature redraws the boundary lines for the state and national seats based on the new figures.
The Panhandle lost a seat after the 1990 census, Smithee said.
"We're going to do everything we can to fix what happened 10 years ago," Smithee said.

LOS ANGELES Jan 25 Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron won the top prize at the Directors Guild of America (DGA) on Sunday for the movie "Gravity" as the outer space drama gathers momentum, alongside "American Hustle" and "12 Years a Slave", for the Oscars.
The best director award is Cuaron's first from the DGA and is considered a strong predictor of Oscar success in six weeks. The DGA top honor has correctly predicted the best picture Oscar winner for nine of the past 10 years.
"This is truly and honor, and I'm humbled by being recognized by your peers," Cuaron, 52, said, accepting the award at a ceremony in Los Angeles.
Cuaron's special effects-laden existential drama about an astronaut who becomes separated from her space shuttle also won a joint prize with "12 Years a Slave" from Hollywood's producers last week in a rare tie.
Since 1948, there have been only seven occasions when the DGA award winner has not gone on to win the corresponding Academy Award. Last year's DGA winner, Ben Affleck for Iran hostage drama "Argo", was not nominated for the best director Oscar award, which was given to Ang Lee for "Life of Pi".
Vince Gilligan, creator of the television series "Breaking Bad", also won the best director prize for a dramatic series. (Reporting by Eric Kelsey; Editing by Louise Ireland)

THE TESTING OF A PRESIDENT: THE FOUR HOURS; Weighing Shame and Sympathy, A Weary People Watch Clinton
By SERGE SCHMEMANN
Published: September 22, 1998
Finally the anchors and pundits fell silent, the tape rolled, a fuzzy image of President Clinton came on the screens, and . . .
And most people continued doing what they were doing on a mild morning in a city slowed somewhat by the Jewish New Year. Rosh ha-Shanah. When they did pause to watch yesterday, whether in a cafe, at an electronics shop or on the screens at the News Corporation building on 48th Street and Avenue of the Americas, it was often with fatigue, shame, and a distinct dollop of sympathy for a man being painfully humiliated before their eyes.
''Brother, what a screwball, what a sick man,'' muttered Albert Navarrate, a jeweler from Queens, more in sadness than in anger, after a particularly legalistic riff by Mr. Clinton outside the News Corporation building. ''I mean he's a good President. He just screwed up. But children shouldn't be exposed to this,'' he said, as the words ''oral sex'' were heard on the screen and flashed by again and again on the electric ribbon on the building rising above him.
Like Mr. Navarrate, most people listened a few minutes and moved on. Interviews here and in three other cities around the country suggested that the shock value had long worn off, and everyone knew that the testimony would be shown again and again all day, and that the ordeal was far from over.
When a reporter approached one man and explained that he was seeking comments, the man wagged his head in sympathy, saying, ''Oh, I feel sorry for you.''
''Most people have already made up their minds, and what they're seeing is only reinforcing their opinions,'' said the man, Thomas J. Karle, a lawyer with McGraw-Hill Inc. from Wilton, Conn.
His opinion? ''I'm an attorney, and I view perjury and the ability of the courts to punish it as the basis of law. It's all sex and juicy, but it's still perjury.''
At a retirement home in Seattle, residents expressed a grudging respect for Mr. Clinton, at his ability to maintain control under hours of questioning, but they also expressed a clear sadness that the country was being put through such a spectacle.
''We live in a different world these days, I guess,'' said Nancy Cadley, 77, a retired nurse who served in a medical unit in World War II and the Korean War.
On the campus of Emory University in Atlanta, a group of six students, who already had strong opinions on Mr. Clinton before the video was released, saw its airing as just more embarrassment heaped on the man, his office, and on the nation he leads.
Yet here in New York, by far the more common reaction was sympathy and even support for the President. Not absolution, certainly not approval for what everyone agreed was gross and silly behavior, but a sense that the public humiliation was out of all proportion to his human weakness.
''It's sad and cruel that he should go through this, that all this should be made public,'' said a woman in her 30's. ''I don't understand where they get the right to release this. It's incredibly wrong. I mean, if the grand jury sat us all down and asked about that topic, sex, how many people wouldn't commit perjury?'' As if to punctuate the point, the woman resolutely refused to give her name or reveal her job.
In an admittedly unscientific sampling of street opinion, women seemed more apt to show sympathy for the President than men.
''The political analysis I'm hearing during the breaks in the coverage is contrary to my opinion,'' declared Joan Gilbert, a public relations specialist. ''I am very sympathetic to Clinton. I think he's being harassed and I think he is handling himself with great diplomacy.''
''He's apologized, hasn't he?'' said a woman waiting for a flight at Newark International Airport, who said she was 80 and gave her name as Anna. ''He's been a good President. I'm sick of it. It's his own personal business what he did.''
In Harlem, Deborah Campbell, a corrections officer from Queens, echoed the sentiment over breakfast at Sylvia's Restaurant. ''In my eyes it really doesn't matter. It's his personal life, and he's doing a great job,'' she said. ''It shouldn't be shown on TV, but since it is, New Yorkers want to see it.''
Not all did. Dominic Romero, a chauffeur from White Plains, said he was listening to the testimony only because he had nothing better to do while waiting in his car outside the Colony Club.
''I'm sick and tired of this,'' he said. ''I'm so disgusted with Republicans and Democrats that I'm going to vote for a third party next time. We've got no leader. We're the laughing stock of the whole world.''
Among those few who took a stern position toward the President, like Mr. Karle, the lawyer, the usual reason was the public lies.
''Clinton just dissembles too much,'' said David Pocock, a music-festival director who watched the testimony at Newark airport while waiting for a flight to Indianapolis. ''When you see him on television like this, it's just remarkable how smooth and slick he can be. He's been too smooth and too slick for too long.''
For all the drama on the screen, there was no sense across the city that life had stopped, or even slowed, for the four-hour broadcast. A random check of smokers outside office buildings suggested that the only major obstacle to business-as-usual was the Jewish holiday and the streets closed in midtown Manhattan because of Mr. Clinton's appearance at the United Nations.
''We're too busy watching the market go down to watch the President go down,'' said Bill Takos, taking a break for a smoke outside the Oscar Gruss & Son Inc., a brokerage firm.

Sad that someone compared you to Skrillex, because you are so much better. 5/5, 5/5, Fav, D/L.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
The bass drops and vocals blew my freaking mind. It's more than just anime, it sounds like Skrillex's Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites remixed in a whole new direction. I accidentally fell asleep and I didn't know the song was still playing, and as soon as the sun rose the next day and I woke up, it made my day awsome.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
You really do need more exposure. Make a CD I would buy it.
