The shuffler: Jesse Harris, Grammy-winning songwriter of Norah Jones' "Don't Know Why," and respected neo-folkie whose six solo albums—including his latest, Feel—blend roots music and lounge music to relaxed, sophisticated, sweetly yearning effect.
Cartola, "Amor Proibido"
Jesse Harris: Cartola is an artist from Brazil who didn't record until much later in his life, but had a big influence on a lot of famous artists down there, like Gilberto Gil. I discovered his music recently when I was in Brazil. I've been listening to Brazilian music almost constantly for the last few years, ingesting as much as I can get my hands on. Richard Julian was the one who told me to check out Cartola. Telling someone to check out Cartola is like telling someone to check out Tony Bennett, you know. [Laughs.] You say "Cartola" to anyone who knows Brazilian music, and they say "Oh, of course, yeah." But before that, I hadn't heard of him. I love his music. It's sort of like samba, but then at other times choro, which is starting to get really popular again in Rio.
The A.V. Club: Is it also like Tony Bennett in that it's hard to know where to start?
JH: Actually, no. There are only, I think, a few albums available. So anyone looking for Cartola would find those records pretty quickly.
Neil Young, "Expecting To Fly"
JH: This version is from Decade, but my favorite version is from a live bootleg, a Carnegie Hall concert I've had on cassette for years and years. This one is way more orchestral, and the version that I have on cassette is just him on piano. Really beautiful. I love Neil Young. His songs were the first songs I learned to play, and I recommend anyone who is starting guitar to learn Neil Young songs first.
AVC: Because they're so simple, or because you can learn a lot from them?
JH: Because they're so simple. But on the other hand, Neil Young does throw in a major seven chord here and there, so if you're a new guitar player learning Neil Young songs, you'll learn some seven chords, and some different positions. Nothing too complicated, just enough to kind of open up your knowledge a little bit. Plus the songs are just so great. "Helpless" is the first song I ever learned.
Björk, "I See Who You Are"
JH: This is from her new record, Volta.
AVC: Have you spent much time with Volta yet?
JH: You know, I haven't. [Laughs.] I've heard it twice so far. I think it's beautiful. I'm a big Björk fan, and the truth is, I almost didn't get this record, because although I liked her last two records, I didn't like them as much as the previous ones. I was thinking of just skipping Volta, but then someone said I should really try it. And I actually think it's awesome. Some of the best stuff she's done in a long time.
AVC: When you say "get this record," do you mean ?
JH: I buy CDs. I do. I still like to have the artwork, and see the credits, and have the CD in my hand, and take it in the car. I don't know if I'm ever going to get over that. I don't think I'll ever be able to replace that with mp3s. Besides, I just don't think mp3s sound that good. They're definitely of a lower quality.
AVC: Is that hard for you as a recording artist, knowing that a lot of people are going to be hearing your albums via mp3?
JH: It's really strange! In the '70s and '80s, everyone was all about high fidelity, and probably even before that, in the '60s, with tube amplifiers. People were so into their stereos and their sound systems. And now no one cares at all. It's more about having the music in any form whatsoever. Sound quality is I think it's probably worse than transistor radios, because at least those have some charm, you know? But I hear they're working on making mp3s sound better.
Cat Power, "Keep On Runnin'"
JH: I actually got into Cat Power because I worked with her. She did a tune of mine for this soundtrack, and I flew to Miami to produce it, and to play on it. During that time, I was really addicted to You Are Free and The Greatest. I would listen to them, I don't know, every day. Prior to that, I'd heard Cat Power from friends mostly, and I'd always liked what I heard, but I'd never gotten totally into it. But I knew her singing enough that when we asked her to do my song, I knew that she'd be right. I don't know, there's something in her singing that seems not put on at all. It seems uncontrived, and honest. And raw. And vulnerable. I think anything that open just draws me in.
AVC: Is the same true of Björk for you, or is Björk more about her songwriting and creativity?
JH: Björk is more about a sonic experience. And her voice is so dramatic and freakish, you know? I've never heard anybody sing like Björk. I remember seeing The Sugarcubes on television a long time ago, before I knew who she was, and I remember thinking, "I don't really like the sound of that, but the singer is incredible." Björk is just so musical and so creative. You're always curious what she's going to do. And you can tell that she's serious about music. She plays with great musicians and always works with great people. She's just a total artist. She's almost like a performance artist.
Gal Costa, "Sebastiana"
JH: I guess Gal came out of the tropicalia movement? I don't pay that much attention to the movements and styles and stuff. I just have certain artists that I like from Brazil. I tend to focus on music from the '60s and '70s. There are some more recent albums that I've gotten into that I really love as well. But that period, for me, is just Discovering artists like Gal Costa and Jorge Ben and Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, it was like discovering Joni Mitchell and Neil Young and James Taylor, for me. It was like a treasure trove.
AVC: How did you get into Brazilian music?
JH: First, through the obvious, most famous stuff, like Antonio Carlos Jobim with João Gilberto and Stan Getz. I heard those records when I was a teenager. Later, I was traveling in Paris, staying in the apartment of a friend who had like 3,000 LPs. I just spent all day going through the records and checking stuff out. And one day I pulled out this Gilberto Gil record called Refavela. I didn't know what it was, but it totally blew my mind. And over the years, I would discover records here and there, but I didn't get really into it until about three or four years ago, when I took a trip with some friends down to Brazil. Then I did a tour down there, and bought like a stack of albums. And I have a friend named Mauro Refosco who's Brazilian, who actually plays on my new record. We were hanging out at a record store in Sao Paolo, and he told me all these new records I should get. After that, I just got hooked. And once you get hooked, one thing leads to another, and one artist leads to another. Collecting them is like collecting baseball cards or something.
AVC: You made the comparison to Joni Mitchell, but you can't understand the words, can you?
JH: No, that's true, I can't understand the words. And that's a strange part about it. I wish I did, because people say, "Oh, you should hear Caetano's lyrics, or Chico Buarque's lyrics, they're beauuutiful," and I do feel bad, but for some reason, it doesn't matter to me. I don't know why. In a way, not knowing the words makes it more about the sound of the voice and the melody and the music. Having listened to it a lot, I am starting to catch certain phrases. I listen to a lot of different music in different languages, so I'm sort of used to that, too.
Brigitte Bardot, "Fleur-de-lis"
JH: This is sort of a silly tune. I actually do speak a little bit of French, but I have to be the laziest person on earth when it comes to languages. As soon as someone starts speaking in another language, I go completely blank, and I start just spacing out and thinking my own thoughts. I'm really dense when it comes to learning languages. So with Brigitte, even though some of the words I know, it's more that I just like the sound. I find her records so light and fun. And I like her singing. This is a great album, Best Of Bardot. Good party album. I love that '60s sound. So charming.

A colposcopy is performed if a woman:
Some terms used to describe abnormal cells on a Pap test include CIN (cervical intraepithelialneoplasia) and SIL (squamous intraepithelial lesion). Your doctor will explain these terms if they apply to you.
To prepare for a colposcopy:
At this point, a Pap test may be done. This is a gentle swab to take a few cells from your cervix.
Next, your cervix will be cleansed with a solution. Your doctor then will look at your cervix using the colposcope. You may need to have a biopsy. This involves removing very small pieces of tissue from the cervix. The samples are sent to a lab to be looked at under a microscope. The biopsy may cause mild cramping and spotting (very slight bleeding). A medicine called Monsel solution may be applied to the biopsy site to stop the bleeding.
The inside of the cervical canal may be scraped to check for abnormal cells. This scraping also may cause mild cramping and spotting.
Follow these suggestions to help the biopsy sites heal quickly and to help prevent infectionand further bleeding.
Treating dysplasia
Cryotherapy (kry-oh-THAIR-uh-pee) removes abnormal cells from your cervix through freezing. This procedure takes 10 minutes and is done in the doctor's office. The doctor may give you a local anesthetic. You may feel some mild cramping during the procedure and for a little while afterward.
LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure)removes abnormal cells from your cervix using an electrical wire. It also is done in the doctor's office. A local anesthetic usually is given. You may have mild cramping during the procedure and for a little while afterward.
Laser treatment
Removes abnormal cells on the cervix using a laser. This is done if the abnormal area is too large for cryotherapy or LEEP. Laser treatment is done in the operating room. Most patients don't have to stay overnight in the hospital. Anesthesia usually is not needed.
Cone biopsy
Colon Biopsy involves removing a larger, cone-shaped piece of the cervix. This is done in the operating room with general anesthesia, which means you will be asleep. This method may be used for treatment if the entire abnormal area cannot be seen with the colposcope. If you have any of these procedures, you will need to have frequent Pap tests for several years. Your doctor will tell you how often.

Some other way to configure my VPN connection or some other client?
Any help will be welcomed and appreciated. I have read everything I could, I checked the forums, including 4 and backtrack backtrack 3 but I can not configure or start the VPN connection.
Even I have considered changing as the network manager in gnome ubuntu Festy .... but are the ideas of despair, so I turn to the question and the new theme.
Thank you very much and great job all the new bt5.
Thanks 4 help me.
Does your config work on other Linux distributions like 'normal' Ubuntu?
"The difference between RAID1 and RAID0 is that the zero stands for how many files you're gonna have after a harddisk failure."
A good start point is:

There square measure scores of totally different LINUX VPN server packages obtainable on the web these days. Initially look this would possibly really sound sort of a sensible factor. With lots of various software packages to choose from, one would possibly suppose that it makes putting in your own VPN abundant easier or higher. However, the reality is it really makes it a euphemism of lots harder and confusing. LINUX may be a extremely popular operating system for servers, and if youre trying to line up a VPN of your own that runs one among the numerous variations of the operating system obtainable these days, then I powerfully suggest that you simply see Linux VPN Website.
one problem with the BT , my internet connection is VPN and when i install the BT i cant configurated the VPN . I googled and find to install network-manager but the question is "HOW TO INSTALL NETWORK MANAGER IF I CANT ACCESSS INTERNET ??? " i need to create VPN and access to internet
any ideas ? ?? ? ??

Photo Gallery: Train Days
REDLANDS - The humming of electric motors, the clacking of model trains running along tracks and exclamations of excited children filled the halls at the San Bernardino County Museum on Saturday, the opening of the two-day Train Days.
Train Days is when model train enthusiasts gather at the museum to share their hobby. The two-day event is also the museum's biggest annual draw. Planners expected to welcome some 3,000 people each day.
"It's nice to share this with the young kids," said exhibitor Bill Martinez of Riverside. "Kids get to see trains like this, and the older people get to remember."
Martinez spent his time at Train Days showing his model of a Lionel-made Sante Fe freight train rolling through a model neighborhood made to resemble San Bernardino County during the height of the Route 66 era.
Martinez said he's had an interest in trains since childhood. Another modelist at the show said it's common for train hobbyists to play with train sets as youngsters and regain their enthusiasm for model trains later in life.
"That's a typical story. People who play with trains as adults had trains as a kid," said Mark Williams, a retired librarian who lives in Redlands. "Life gets in the way. You have a career, a wife, you have kids. And then the bug bites you again."
For at least one family at Train Days, the show is an annual tradition.
Visitors new to the world of model trains could not only observe the craftsmanship on display, but also learn the basics of model trains.
For example, the popular HO scale of model train replicates the real thing at a 1:87 ratio. The smaller N scale trains are built to a 1:160 ratio.
And of course, there's more to the hobby than the trains themselves - there's also the model landscapes and cities for the trains to roll through.
"A lot of scenery and a lot of space," exhibitor Rus Kochie of the Antelope Valley N Scalers club said.
"That's part of the luster of the hobby itself," he said later. "Everything works and it's in miniature."

TMS Server locks at 100% CPU
We have a customer that has recently upgraded their TMS to 13.1.1 and have since noticed that the TMS server locks at 100% CPU.
The Culprit is java.exe and this has happed several times now. Java on TMS is version 6 update 17.
This is not at server reboot.It does not appear to effect any other utilities on TMS , but obviously the server is not very manageable.
2 Questions .
Can they end task java.exe without affecting TMS ? They have Movi running and I understand the TMS Agent is Java based.
Is this a known issue ?
Thanks for your input folks.
I am at present trying to obtain log files and screen captures to look at as TB suspect there may be some corrupt files during the upgrade to TMS 13.1 happened.
There may be an issue with the TMS AGENT and openDS.
Will update as I get more info.
TB had a Webex session and noticed the OpenDS service start in Windows was set to automatic which should be manual.
they have changed the parameters of OpenDS and saw the Java process utilization came down.
OpenDS service set to manual after TMS installation is by design as TMS agent service has to trigger the OpenDS service when provisioning is configured on TMS.
OpenDS service should not be set to automatic.
I guess the new release coming out shortly will reslove this . !!!

TJ Scolnick | August 8, 2011
By TJ Scolnick • Monday, August 8, 2011 - 15:24
In ever greater numbers, New Brunswickers are speaking out against hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and the exploitation of the densely packed unconventional gas sitting below ground. Until now, opposition to drilling has been disparate with some 30 civic groups, many communities and individuals speaking out, but on their own. Now, it seems that the opposition is unifying under a common voice in order to send a firm message that "No Means NO" [pdf] when it comes to fracking in the province.
The August 1st Fracking Day march and protest in Fredericton, co-organized by 16 environmental and community groups, was a huge success drawing a crowd of around 1,500 people as well as representatives from the opposition political parties, all on a provincial holiday. The many groups opposing fracking and unconventional gas are hoping for another breakthrough as they have been invited to the community of Taymouth by the Taymouth Community Association for the second formal meeting to form a common voice and to build short and long term province-wide strategy to stop drilling.
Speaking out against fracking with a unified voice is important considering residents and communities' deepening concerns over the health and environmental impacts (like carbon emissions and freshwater contamination), as well as fears over property damage. According to the Conservation Council of New Brunswick (CCNB Action), more than 1/7 of provincial land has been allocated for potential drilling sites across 100 communities. Drillers are also holding titles which permit seismic testing in Fredericton itself.
Many New Brunswickers are wondering why companies think drilling is a done deal and why there has been so much government support without adequate public debate on whether or not fracking is such a good thing.
It is telling when you consider that the government visited Arkansas to learn how that state manages gas, and that a key player in the province is Southwestern Energy Co. (a.k.a. SWN Resources in Canada), a company facing numerous lawsuits in Arkansas and Pennsylvania over the damages caused by its drilling.
In an effort to temper public opposition, the government hosted a Provincial Forum on Shale Gas in June, but the event was a closed door meeting largely attended by government and industry, with few environmental and community groups invited.
Rallying outside of the forum were some 300 people. Vicki Oland of Durham Bridge protested outside and clarified her anxiety about the drilling process:
"I'm a citizen concerned about fracking, and I am also concerned about the seismic testing they are going to do for fracking."
"They haven't looked into the human health aspects of which there are many and yet they say they're going to allow fracking."
She also said that rather than trying to reinvent the wheel and pitch fracking as a safe process, the government should be talking to those jurisdictions that have banned the drilling method.
Jim Emberger of Taymouth also attended, saying that:
"You're going to get half or two-thirds of central New Brunswick that basically from the sky will look like an industrial park."
"This is such a short-sighted adventure."
Emberger spoke of the industry tactic of dividing residents and communities: "Industry always does this to try and split the community."
NPR's 'This American Life' [podcast] discussed the gas industry's divisive tactics in the Township of Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, where Range Resources has leased 95% of the township's lands, is influencing policy, and is pitting residents against one another into groups of haves and have nots.
The government's meager engagement is secondary to the campaign to frame gas drilling as safe, which is dividing opposition groups, residents and communities.
Coinciding with the Shale Gas Forum, Natural Gas Steering Committee Chair and Natural Resources Minister Bruce Northrup announced regulatory reforms to the gas industry:
● conduct baseline testing on all potable water wells within a minimum distance of 200 metres of seismic testing and 500 metres of oil or gas drilling before operations can begin. These will be minimum requirements and may be increased depending upon the situation;
● provide full disclosure of all proposed, and actual, contents of all fluids and chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing (fracing) process; and
● establish a security bond to protect property owners from industrial accidents, including the loss of/or contamination of drinking water, that places the burden of proof on industry.
A plan to allow gas rich communities to receive royalties from drilling is also proposed.
After the June Forum and Northrup's announcement, one group formerly opposed to fracking suddenly reversed its call for a moratorium. Bethany Thorne-Dykstra, the President for the Citizens for Responsible Resource Development, held a joint news conference with Northrup stating: "We are willing to meet the government half-way by dropping our request for a moratorium." She also took a shot at anti-fracking groups like the CCNB Action to emphasize her group's change in direction.
Dividing and conquering may be backfiring however, since the Citizens for Responsible Resource Development reversal is encouraging calls for groups, residents and communities to join forces.

"Speaking out against
"Speaking out against fracking with a unified voice is important considering residents and communities' deepening concerns over the health and environmental impacts (like carbon emissions and freshwater contamination)"
Uh, so let me get this straight?
In New Brunswick, the city of Saint John currently dumps "currently discharges 16 million litres of raw sewage into its harbour and streams every day. This is equivalent to six Olympic-sized swimming pools every 24 hours. The practice has been going on in Saint John for hundreds of years. Although Saint John is not the only municipality in Canada that dumps untreated wastewater into its environment, it is unique in that its outfalls flow into local streams, forming open sewers that run through the center of the city, thus creating third-world sanitation conditions in Canada's oldest incorporated city." (Wikipedia)
And, yet, instead, these idiots are protesting much-needed natural gas development in a have-not province, based on completely misinformed spurious fantasies of ground water contamination from fracking?
In northeastern BC, and other areas, fracking has been used for over a decade. No groundwater has ever been contaminated from it. Nor is it very probable. Fracking takes place THOUSANDS of feet below the ground surface. Water wells and natural aquifers occur – at most – at levels of a few HUNDRED feet below the surface.
There is no "fracking controversy", as the headline squeels – other than the "controversy" the PR company that runs d'Smogblog is trying to gin up.
If these nincompoops were really concerned about pollution – and they're obviously not – they'd be doing something about the Bhopal in their very own harbour that they've been creating since 1604. This isn't about pollution or the environment at all. They just want to put a stop to prosperity and energy use.
If these clown ever gave a crap about "the environment", it would just be flushed down their toilet, into a local stream, and straight out into Saint John's harbour.

Heap pollution on top of pollution
I nominate this person to have the very first SWN well drilled immediately outside his or her residence. If he/she would be following the news at all, they'd know that fracking is causing problems in BC, the US and many other areas. A persons who reverts to name calling to support their argument usually has a very weak argument.
recyclenot replied on Permalink
You may think my argument is
You may think my argument is "weak" – but at least it's better than what you've got: No coherent argument whatsoever.
As it happens, my family's land has 3 gas well sites. All three have been previously fracked. Our water wells remain fine and nobody has been turned into a brain-eating zombie. Don't believe everything you read on this propaganda site.
I know how much that must enrage you, but if I told you how much money we're paid for having those wells on our property, they'd probably come after you with a butterfly net and have to put you in a straightjacket.
And by the way, there are plenty of rules about how close a wellhead can be situated to homes.
anonymous replied on Permalink
That explains a lot
Its not difficult to understand that if you already have wells on your property and you have already gained financially because of them, then you'd be all for shale gas development. We'll see how you feel in a few years after dozens and dozens of new wells are drilled around you and the air has turned foul and you can't drink the water or sleep because of the constant noise. It's the cumulative effects of gas development that we fear and we have the documented environmental and risks assessments to back that position up. If you want me to send you some of them, let me know.

The wells on our property are
The wells on our property are not new. They've been there for about 9 years. No problems, just income.
And "dozens" of wells? Try HUNDREDS of wells in my area.
"… and the air has turned foul and you can't drink the water or sleep because of the constant noise."
Buddy, you really live in a fantasy world. Why on Earth would "the air turn foul"?! Ever since the invention of what scientists and engineers call "pipes", we no longer have to transport natural gas to customers in leaky straw baskets. You really don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about, do you?
And as I said, my water and everyone else's water is fine. Why wouldn't it be?
Also, what is this "constant noise" you're talking about? Gas wells really don't make any noise at all – which is more than you can say for windmills. A gas well is a simple thing: a pipe sticking out of the ground with some valves on it. How much "noise" do you imagine that makes?
The only noise I hear is people laughing at naive fools like you, who believe the fairy tales David Suzuki tells them.
I don't want you to send me any of your nonsense. I live in the middle of gas country, and you blatantly don't know the first thing about it. And you want to "educate" me?! LOL! Get a job.

Then you go on to claim he is not refuting your belief structure? Actually, he just had refuted with real world experience.
You, finally end by whining about treatment? Sheesh!!!!!

He may or may not have real world experience but he still hasn't specifically refuted anything - just avoided as usual. Its good to see that no adverse effects have happened in his area but there are many areas that have had problems - the risks are real. What about the 5ooo or so non-disclosure agreements reported to have been signed between the industry and property owners?
The studies and assessments I refer to are real risk assessments by real health professionals and real environmental impacts assessments by real environmental engineers. Are you afraid of reading words that conflict with your belief structure?

Anon True Heart "the believer" claims: "…he still hasn't specifically refuted anything - just avoided as usual." But, he did with his personal experience. just because it does not match your beliefs does not negate it. Studies can be wrong and experience can be too limited, but experience will almost always surpass studies for veracity.
As for drinking water wells, are you using one? I am, and would not be concerned with drilling several thousand feet below my 315 foot well.
I also did research on gas/oil land I was interested in just a couple of months ago. Guess what, there was no evidence of fracking or drilling damage to potable water.
Finally, you rely on appeals to authority, "…real environmental impacts assessments by real environmental engineers.", and I reply, much of the CAGW has been provided by real scientists. So what? The vast majority of peer reviewed scientific materials are, over time, proven wrong.
I do note your "real environmental impacts assessments by real environmental engineers. " reports are not claimed as peer reviewed. So, I repeat, Are you afraid of reading words that conflict with your belief structure?

"Yours is a typical response to any offer to debate this issue."
No, my response is more typical of someone dealing with a gob-smackingly ignorant six-year-old. The reason you find my response "typical", is that you probably get that response from most people.
And, get real. You haven't "offered" any "debate". All you've done posted your litany of vague and self-evidently ludicrous claims.
"We ask for someone, anyone to refute the concerns regarding the information we have …"
There's nothing to refute! YOU made the claim, YOU back it up. Please give us some evidence of these "ear-splitting" gas wells you've fantasized, that are supposedly causing everyone around here to lose all their sleep? Where is this "foul air"? Why does everyone around here have perfectly fine well water, when you insist that it now "undrinkable"?
But tell me, what amount of evidence would EVER dissuade you of your nonsensical beliefs? Obviously, the fact that I have lived in, and experienced gas country personally, for most of my life, and have told you that you are wildly mistaken, just isn't good enough to budge your intractable notions.
I suggest that NO amount of direct, irrefutable evidence will EVER make you let go of your silly notions. Your belief isn't based on logic or evidence, so anyone would be wasting their time trying to convince you of your erroneous beliefs.
"If I could, I'd only want to teach you how to be more respectful of people."
LOL! Tell you what – stop acting like a gullible buffoon, and maybe some day, someone *might* give you some respect. Like most people, I have no respect for fools.

Well, here's a conundrum: Why
Well, here's a conundrum:
Why would anyone protest at the production of a "benign" form of energy, which is portrayed as a win-win for all, if they were not experiencing negative environmental consequences?
Why would the fracking industry engage in a hard-nosed campaign to cover this up, other than to protect their profits?
Incidentally, the fact that you've resorted to puerile ad hominem attacks shows that you've already lost the argument.

Finally, Anon True Heart "the believer", resorts to veiled threats?!???? How immature and illogical can he be?
Anon True Heart "the believer", you really do need to come out of your parent's basement in the city and come out to the country where real world wells (water and otherwise) and real world septic systems exist. BTW, septic systems are just a few hundred feet difference (at most) in depth from that of the drinking water wells. Septic systems are also much, much closer to the drinking water well than any of those gas wells.
Hand dug outhouses and water wells have been placed in relatively close proximity (tens/hundreds of feet) for many generations prior to today's technologies. And you are concerned with gas/oil infiltration over distances measured in miles?
You actually want us to believe your research when real world experience shows otherwise with millions and millions of examples and generations of human experience.
Nothing moree than fear mongering! Pshaw! You are past ignorant!

Fracking Shale for gas in New Brunswick Canada
View the YouTube: Fracking Hell; the untold story and then let me hear what you have to say.
New Brunswickers live under the tyranny of a giant Company that controls all media outlets thus their freedom of speech is aborted. And will N.B. government listen to the people. How about an inquiry on shale gas exploration! Or, would that be too democratic? How about investigative journalistic reporting on the issue. N.B. would have to import journalists for that! The Giant Company will discredit those who seek truth and democracy on the issue.

Ello everyone. I am just trying to contribute to this awesome place. Here is what i have found. I have not found a fix for it yet. i plan to though as i have been working on it for about an hour now. Might just have to re-install it. haha
Tried to run httprint from command line and it says command not found. So i went to the menu and went here:
application>BackTrack>Info gathering>net analysis>service fingerprinting>httprint
says /pentest/enumeration/www/httprint/linux no such file or directory.
Turns out that it is supposed to be /pentest/enumeration/web/httprint/linux
the tool is in there but even when i copy the launcher from the menu to the desktop and change the path, it opens a terminal and displays the man page for httprint. i follow the example and it still says command not found. I have tried it whilst being in the same directory as well.
i did find a tutorial on line to get the gui working but still no go.

Office Master Cabin constitutes an essential element of every organization that not just reflects the status of the organization but its employees as well. So it is important that the master cabin of the office is in place, which also leaves an eternal impression on the clients. Many a times, the importance of master cabins is ignored at the time of the incorporation of a company. However, it is much imperative that such ignorance can also bring a significant disparity between success and failure.
Normally an individual spends most of his/her time at workplace, and so it is quite necessary that the master cabin interior designs should be encouraged, warm and professional. With more and more clients, existing and potential, as well as key business partners visiting your office, you may not like to bargain with the quality and style of your master cabin interiors, isn't it? Your incoming guests should be offered a warm, cozy welcoming, while also making them realize the status of your organization.
As the technology has advanced, the entire office equipments have witnessed a complete makeover with modern accessories. Make sure poor lighting of the room does not affect the view of computer screens on the master cabin desks at workplace. This will also affect the productively and comfort levels at large. Further in many organizations, noise levels do not rise to a harmful or disturbing extent. In BPOs where larger noise levels can deter the nature of operations thereon, necessary steps are undertaken to combat this problem. Office master cabins should be kept away from such intruding problems, since a majority of key strategies and decisions need to be worked upon, which if there exists excessive noise can deter the work largely. Hence, it is essentially important that all master cabin interiors are executed such that the external cabin setting does not interfere with the internal process.
Another key aspect to be noticed while you move ahead with the purchase or installation of office master cabin interior designs is that it must have a stylish color scheme that goes in sync with the cabin furniture. The office master cabin desk you choose should be able to accommodate basic things, as maybe required to be there on the user desk.
In short, some key factors that would help you decide on a good master cabin design, fixtures or fittings include the type of business operations of your organization; floor space availability and required furniture; types of clientele or visitors in office; and of course, total budget allotted for office master cabin interiors. Besides these factors, other factors include requirements for type of lighting, electrical appliances and wiring for telephone. Once you consider these factors, you can easily handpick beautiful master cabin interiors for your office.

Greeneville, Tenn. - Randy O'Dell had two hits and Christian Christopoulos added a double as Brevard opened up the weekend series against SAC opponent Tusculum College. However, Craig Goodwen went eight innings on the mound for the Pioneers and Matt Henriksen hit a ball out of the park as Tusculum defeated Brevard on Friday evening, 9-0.
Joseph Lepore (1-3) took the loss for the Tornados (11-21, 3-15 SAC), giving up four earned runs in five innings, striking out a batter, while Michael Bradley threw three shutout innings in relief for Brevard. Goodwent (6-2) retired seven batters on strikes for the Pioneers (25-9, 12-7 SAC), scattering four hits, while T.J. Abounader closed out the shutout with an inning of one-hit relief.
Sean Cotton reached on a fielding error in the bottom of the first with two outs and Alexi Colon followed with a triple down the right field line to score the first run of the game. Cody Coffen singled Colon home to give Tusculum the early 2-0 lead.
Branfy Arias increased the lead by scoring a run in the bottom of the second, coming around on a throwing error and Rolondo Bonner drove in Lukas Graves with a double down the right field line to put Tusculum up 4-0 after two.
The Pioneers added five runs through innings four through six, with Henriksen contributing to the run scoring with a two-run homer down the left field line with one out in the fifth and though Brevard put a runner in scoring position in the eighth, the Tornados were unable to score as Brevard fell in game one to Tusculum, 9-0.
The Tornados and the Pioneers will remain in conference play tomorrow afternoon in Greeneville, Tenn. as they battle in a doubleheader at Pioneer Park. First pitch is set for 1 p.m.

Since I learned to be an early adopter three days ago, I have been scouring the web for the next new thing.
I didn't find it.
Instead, I decided to jump on the coat tails of Rand Fishkin (FYI- the guy is a bad ass SEO) with his feverish promotion of new social media platforms and web 2.0 in general. I forgot how fun the web can be! I have been so busy managing ad campaigns and team building, I almost lost sight of what got me there. Playing on the web. All the time. For way too long.
Hearing presenters speaking and reading blogs about about tagging, blogging, RSS feeding, and all that jazz is one thing. Experiencing these technologies first hand is quite another. As a long time Google whore, I don't think I have been giving Yahoo! the credit they deserve lately. They have been quite the front runner with picking up and developing the next waves of web media. Yahoo! looks clearly ahead of the curve as far as social web platforms go.
I have been recently raving about Flickr… now I am HOOKED on del.icio.us too. Both Yahoo! properties. Both awesome. Both made a strong positive impact to how I use the web. I might never use my favorites tab in a web browser again!
Thanks Rand. You have officially opened my eyes on at least 50 addictive ways I can spend time away from my typical job duties, and play on the web instead. I may have to run up on you like a crazy fan and sumo you at the next WebMasterRadio.fm party.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Los Angeles police Chief Charlie Beck says the fugitive ex-police officer wanted in three murders has multiple weapons including an assault rifle.
Beck also says more than 40 protection details have been assigned to possible targets of fired officer Christopher Dorner.
Beck says the massive manhunt for Dorner may be the largest in the department's history.
Dorner is suspected of murdering a couple last weekend, killing one Riverside officer and wounding another early Thursday, and wounding an LAPD officer a short time earlier.

Unrecognized ingestion of Toxoplasma gondii oocysts causes congenital toxoplasmosis and epidemics in North America. Clinical Infectious Diseases. 53:1081-1089. Interpretive Summary: Congenital toxoplasmosis presents as severe, life-altering disease in the United States. If mothers of infants with congenital toxoplasmosis could be identified by their risk factors, it would provide strong support for educating pregnant women about risk factors in order to eliminate this disease. Conversely, if not all risk factors are recognizable or otherwise identifiable, it suggests presence of undetectable environmental risks. A new test to detect antibodies to the sporozoite form of the parasite demonstrated that oocysts were the predominant source of Toxoplasma gondii infection in 4 North American epidemics and in mothers of children in the NCCCTS between 1981 and 2004. This novel test offered the opportunity to determine whether any demographic features or risk factors could identify new mothers with toxoplasmosis infections caused by oocysts. This test and information that results from its use will be of widespread interest to clinicians treating Toxoplasma infected pregnant women and their newborn infants. These data will provide a method to prevent future infections in this population through specific identification of risk factors and development of educational materials for distribution to at-risk populations, especially in medically underserved communities.
Technical Abstract: Undetected contamination of food and water by T. gondii oocysts frequently causes infection of humans in North America.Risks are often unrecognized by those infected. Demographic factors did not identify those with oocysts infections. Thus, although education programs describing hygienic measures may be of some benefit in preventing oocyst infection, they will not be sufficient to prevent the suffering and the adverse economic consequences associated with congenital toxoplasmosis in North America. Only a vaccine or implementation of systematic serologic testing of pregnant women and newborns followed by treatment will prevent most congenital toxoplasmosis in North America.

Topic: Mom has gallbladder cancer
Hello All,
I'm new here. My Mother is 70 and was diagnosed Stage 4 GB cancer in December 2006. She's done 4 rounds of chemotherapy (5-FU, Cisplatin and Epirubicin) to no avail. Tumors in liver are about 4 times bigger. Now we are trying Tarceva.
I'm trying to get an idea on time. And what to expect from here. I'll read through the posts on this forum but there are so many. If there is anyone who can point me to one or several in particular it would help. I'm fairly exhausted these days and trying to do the right thing for my Mother. I'm just scared. Not sure what to watch for now and what's coming.
Thank you to everyone and thanks to those who created this forum.

Curious. The date of death in this announcement says 1888, age 81? Scratches head.ReplyDelete
If I subtract 81 from 1925, I get 1844... and not 1842. I think the 1888 is the "Class of/Graduation" date... which would make him 46 years old - when he got his M.D., and allowing for the 5 years lost during the Civil War this could sort of make sense.ReplyDelete
I think I figured out the Cavalry unit thing.

DIRTT's Mission and Vision
DIRTT is radically and profitably modernizing the multi-billion dollar construction industry. Previously unimagined mass-custom modular solutions offer speed, design, performance and environmental sustainability for the built environment. The result is a powerful investment for our Clients and a potent strategy for DIRTT as a company.
"Though we are relative newcomers to the agile interiors scene, we DIRTTbags arrive on the scene with a combined hundreds of years of experience. What drew us together wasn't the idea of simply competing with other walls out there, but to create an interior solution and an experience that goes far beyond simply demising space. We wanted a space that would finally loosen the grip of conventional (like 19th century 'conventional') construction, and an experience that informs, empowers and inspires.
DIRTT is Doing It Right This Time. And yep, we're DIRTTbags. You gotta problem wit dat? Oh, we're not those dirt bags – though we would like to see drywall sleeping wit da fishes. We are a passionate group of people (approx. 700 in total) who strive to provide clients with the best solutions, experiences and environments possible. We help each other. We volunteer. We are often goofy. We all thrive on the idea that we are actually doing something to make the world a better place – not just adding to the stuff."

An international destination of choice, Montréal is easily accessed by land, water and air. Downtown is a mere 20 minutes from the Pierre-Elliott Trudeau International Airport, which handles some 600 flights daily.
October 16, 2016 to 2018
The ramp connecting Autoroute 20 East to Autoroute 720 East is partially closed. This closure is due to roadworks to connect this ramp to two new eastbound lanes on Route 136 via a temporary set-up. It will remain in place until 2018. For more information, visit the Transport Québec website.
Public transit is not only affordable, it's also a great way to get around the city. Quick, safe and clean, the metro connects downtown to major tourism attractions, as well as to numerous bus stops and train stations. In addition, cycling enthusiasts enjoy 450 kilometres of bicycle paths, many of which lead to major tourist areas.
Don't forget to ensure you have a valid passport at all times, and in some cases, a visa. American citizens returning home should also be aware that there are new customs requirements in effect . For more information, visit the Web sites of Citizenship and Immigration Canada and the U.S. Department of State.
To finish your trip in style, take some time out to shop for gifts and souvenirs. Details on the transport of goods can be found on the Canada Border Services Agency Web site.

Challenging two-year-old
Everyone has heard of the terrible twos, but I seem to have a very challenging two year old boy! He is a wonderful, funny, loving child and very active and curious, but he refuses to follow simple orders and runs away at every opportunity. He is at preschool for a few hours a couple of mornings a week and we are well-known by the teachers and other mothers, because I am always chasing him (including in the car park which is terrifying for me). I try not to feel embarrassed but I know people are thinking I can't control my own child.
Can you suggest a loving approach to convincing him to obey at least some basic requests? I often lose my patience and shout at him, and then feel terrible about it later. My husband and I have never smacked him and I know that wouldn't be a solution. I couldn't bear to anyway! Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you so much!

Hi TwoLittleBoys,
It sounds like you love your son very much and that you don't want him to be hurt. But without firm, loving, discipline, your child may end up being hurt (throwing himself into a tantrum, possibly being hit by a car in the parking lot, running into the street when a car is coming, reaching for a sharp knife on the counter, etc.).
Most days may present a safety concern for your child, so it's super important that you train your child right now to obey you, cheerfully.
In our home, we chose to spank our children when they directly disobeyed us. This was very effective and spankings were extremely rare. Once the child knew what a spanking was, all we had to do was remind them of what would happen if they didn't obey, and they quickly obeyed.
Now, I know that this forum promotes gentle parenting, so though the way we disciplined was quick and easy and only used occasionally, I can also give some ideas for training without spankings, though from all I've read, there is much more time and effort involved (I preferred to spend my time playing with my little ones, rather than disciplining them).
As the Office Manager of a preschool (for 6 years before I had my first child), I learned some other ways to discipline. The first thing we did when a child did something wrong, was to get down on the child's level, get their attention, and speak sternly to them. The tone of voice and look on my face told the child that I was very serious. If a child hit another child, I would say, "That's not okay. I will not let you do that." If the child decided to throw a tantrum, then I would hold the child tightly so that they could not hurt himself or me. If the child said, "let me go", I would tell him that I would let him go as soon as he stopped fighting.
Usually the child would stop fighting after awhile, and then I would let the child go. At that point, the child was required to sit in a chair by himself, to give him time to collect himself.
A good rule of thumb for "time outs" is one minute for every year that the child is old. If your child is 2 years old, then sitting in time out for 2 minutes should be enough time for the child to realize he is missing out on fun, and yet not so long that the child can't stay in his seat.
Some people will actually have a room in the house (a guest room) that is used for time outs. If the child doesn't obey, they are taken to that room and left alone for a time. I wouldn't use this with a 2 year old unless I was putting the child in his crib or I knew the room that the child was going to be in was baby proof and very safe for him. I've found that it's best to work with a 2 year old until they have a happy face and are willingly doing what you want them to do.
In the case of having to run after your child, while the teachers and other parents look on... I might advise the following scenario... I will call your son "Jacob" for reference...
It would be best to role play this a few times before going out.
Set up a situation at home where he is playing with toys, and you let him know, that when you call him, he needs to stop what he's doing and come to you. Play this out a few times. He plays with a toy, you go into the kitchen and then you call him. If he doesn't stop what he's doing immediately, and come to you, you immediately go to him. You will not be calling him 2 or 3 or 10 times before moving towards him. You call him once, and then move.
When you reach him, (make sure you are at his eye level and he is looking at you), you say to him, "When mummy calls you, you need to come. Then take him by the hand, and lead him to the kitchen." You can do this over and over again until he understands the expectation and he responds. This training at home should make it much easier for him to respond properly at school.
If your son throws a tantrum when you reach him and take his hand, say, "I won't let you do that." If he won't walk on his own two feet with you, then you need to put him in time out, or hold him until he calms down (as noted above).
This is training, and it's hard work. But if you are consistent (consistency is important) then he will learn how to respond properly and happily when you call. You don't want to reward him for good behavior, other than praising him and hugging him. You don't want to give him toys or treats for simply obeying you. And you certainly don't want to bribe him. If you do these things, he will come to expect "goodies" each time you call him or give him direction, and the first time you don't "deliver" those methods will become ineffective. Those are NOT good methods - you want your child to obey you because you are the parent and it is your responsibility to train them. If you can capture their heart at the age of 2, you will have a good chance of keeping their heart through their high school years.
So now you've practiced at home... but it's time for preschool. How will he respond when you pick him up and tell him it's time to go?
Before you drop Jacob off at school, let him know that he will not get any TV (or whatever fun activities you provide for him after school) if he doesn't come when it's time to go. Set the expectation before you leave the school.
1. You arrive to pick up your son. After briefly talking to the teacher, you tell Jacob it's time to go, and call him over to you.
2. Jacob ignores you and continues playing.
3. You immediately move towards Jacob, excusing yourself from any other conversations. Training Jacob has become your highest priority and all of your focus must shift towards this training. View his disobedience as an opportunity for training, rather than allowing it to frustrate you.
4. You quickly move to Jacob and take him by the hand and lead him to the door. If he throws a tantrum, get down at his eye level and let him know that this is not okay, and you won't let him do that. 2 year olds beg (in their own stubborn way) for boundaries. They WANT you to take control (because their little 2 year old bodies are out of control) and they want you to not let them act out. This actually provides happiness for them once they learn to respond positively to your direction.
5. If Jacob continues to throw a tantrum, this is the time to pick him up (thankfully it's much easier to do this at 2, then at 3 or 4) and take him to the car. The teachers would much rather see you taking control of the situation and training your child, even if it means taking a screaming child to the car. Once your child is in the car (or another room), hold him or strap him in his car seat until he settles down. Even if this takes 30 minutes, just sit there until he realizes that you're not going anywhere or doing anything until he settles down.
Once he has settled down, walk him back into the classroom to get his jacket, lunch box, etc. but this time, hold his hand and do not let him go to the toys. He must learn to be able to stay at your side whenever you want him to. This is important in walking through stores, as he outgrows his stroller and will be required to walk and stay next to you as he grows each year.
I know this is long, but I hope it gives you some helpful insight in training. It does take effort and it does take time, but it is very worth it to invest in your son's training now to make your parenting more enjoyable and easier next year :-)
Warm Regards,

Look at that! That is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen in baseball. Ryan Howard is a huge lefty, but has not hit a single homer to right field this year.
hey reds, where is that information listed?
For Love of the Game
"If you aren't first; you're last"
mlb.com, just click on hitting chart on the player page.
He is a very good hitter too.
That's impressive, last year only 2 HRs out to right.
Go Gators!
Comparing Howard and Dunn is interesting. Howard has a very nice average but his OBP is slightly under Dunns (.360 to .376 respectively) but the more telling stat is the Runs I think. Dunn may not hit the signle as well as Howard but his ability to get on base is showing him to be more valuable as a run on the scoreboard than Howard is.
Still, I'd like to see Dunn spray it like Howard does. The shot to the opposite field is a thing of beauty.
Interestingly enough, Look at Dunn's hitting chart for Homeruns at Wrigley.
ALL opposite field shots (4).
That is interesting.
Howard is also a good 1B. I have him on my fantasy team. He's a nice player.
Get your nunchucks and the keys to your dad's car. I know where we can get a gun
I think of them this way. Dunn could be the next Jim Thome. Howard could be the next David Ortiz.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
I thought one of Howard's HRs in GABP went into the Moon Deck?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

You're correct. The above chart is for Citizens Bank Park.Originally Posted by guttle11

In the series against the Reds he hit a HR to left-center(opp field) and he pulled his hands in on the swing. I pointed out that I had never, and I mean that literally, seen a opposite field HR when a hitter pulled their hands in. It was truly amazing.
What are you, people? On dope? - Mr Hand
Compare Howard's HRs at home to his ground outs at home.
If ever there was a guy who should see an infield shift, it's Howard.
John Kruk started out that way with the Padres.
Cedric 3/24/08It's absolutely pathetic that people can't have an opinion from actually watching games and supplementing that with stats. If you voice an opinion that doesn't fit into a black/white box you will get completely misrepresented and basically called a tobacco chewing traditionalist...

Double-Handed Drug Jar (Orciuolo) with Oak Leaves and Leaping Hare
Unknown artist, Italian, Italy; Florence
Double-Handed Drug Jar (Orciuolo) with Oak Leaves and Leaping Hare, ca. 1430-1460
Tin-glazed earthenware
23.5 x 25.4 x 20.3 cm (9 1/4 x 10 x 8 inches) (maximum)
Museum Works of Art Fund 43.351
This large two-handled jar (orciuolo) decorated with oak leaves and a leaping hare is of the type made for the pharmacy of the Arcispedale di Santa Maria Nuova in Florence, a hospital founded by the Portinari family. Signed with an asterisk at the base of one of the handles, it was most likely produced by the workshop of Giunta di Tugio, who is documented as having delivered over a thousand maiolica wares to the hospital around 1427–1431. The patterning of leaves and dots indicates the influence of ceramics imported to Spain from Moorish sources and then disseminated throughout Italy.

Nahh man, Hilo is the shit. The big island has mad spots to crush from what I seen and The place can look like filth sometimes to be honest. You guys got to put that through in your work, theres a lot to represent writing in Hawaii.
The fact that you can cruise the hole big island in a day means it should be rocked. Especially those rural highway spots on the side of the road.
Hawaiian history is inspiring and should motivate you writers to expose the issues and history involved in Hawaii. There is a lot of fucked up shit that's happened and is happening there that needs attention. Graffiti is one of the best outlets to express that.
So fuck what your crew says, get out and paint that shit passionately. Rock mad spots! There is shit to do in Hilo..........PAINT! Get better.
lastly, you guys got to keep those events and jams on the DL. Even if its not sketch, keep your shit personal cause the wrong ears or eyes could catch that shit.
even if cops were to show, you can't get busted for drawing a name on a canvas that's seen on a wall.
since you live in a place thats easy to get around it means its easier to get up too...
you should just get the load of paint one day and drive around the island hitting up shit haha
i heard theres a lot of TE shit over there?

Maybe we've got some clarification on how the New York Jets specifically plan to use Tim Tebow this season. ESPN's Rich Cimini wrote Thursday that "team insiders say the plan is to use Tebow in the red zone, where they can replace Sanchez with another player/blocker to bolster the running game."
Fantasy Analysis:
For fantasy purposes, this is basically bad news for everyone involved except Tebow. Mark Sanchez will throw fewer touchdowns. Santonio Holmes will catch fewer passes and touchdowns -- I'm sure he'll love that. Same goes for Dustin Keller . Shonn Greene will lose those valuable goal-line carries. Now, it could mean 12-15 scores for Tebow, but he's not going to see more than 15-20 snaps per game. Tebow won't be starter-worthy in a 12-team league unless (until) he gets the starting job. It's looking like a bad year to own a Jet.

My friend group—the gay nightclub sort of people—were always like, 'Oh I wish I could afford to do that.'
She says: "I wish more people were good and that there were no wars, that's what I have to say to you."
I wish people would stop saying that her parents are so and so.
Just because Obama expresses a wish pretty clearly doesn't make it so.
At the same time, I wish to make clear that we share an unambiguous commitment to Israel and her safety and security.
I have a wish to have wit and to reason about things with decent people.
"I wish we could stay and see the end of this," said one of the members.
No one, however, had supposed that the Honorable Heman might wish to buy it.
"I wish you could see him in full action," Oscar was saying.
I wish I could match up some of those pieces of White Canton, captain.
Old English wyscan "to wish," from Proto-Germanic *wunskijanan (cf. Old Norse æskja, Danish ønske, Swedish önska, Middle Dutch wonscen, Dutch wensen, Old High German wunsken, German wunschen "to wish"), from PIE *wun-/*wen-/*won- "to strive after, wish, desire, be satisfied" (cf. Sanskrit vanati "he desires, loves, wins," Latin venus "love, sexual desire, loveliness," venerari "to worship;" see Venus). The noun is attested from c.1300. Wish fulfillment (1901) translates German wunscherfüllung (Freud, "Die Traumdeutung," 1900).

You may not realize it, but your front door speaks volumes about your home. Think of it as the maître d' who greets your guests and tells them what to expect before stepping inside. Unfortunately, not all doors say great things about their owners. Some are cracked with peeling paint while others are dented and rusting. If you're concerned about the message your door is sending, here are some considerations for finding the perfect replacement.
Today there are a multitude of entry door design options. But before you start shopping for a new entry door, let's focus on the most popular materials: fiberglass, steel and wood. When compared to doors of ten years ago, today's doors are stronger, more durable and available in a wider array of materials. If you're worried about durability, first start by selecting a reputable door manufacturer with a history of product success. Remember, this is an investment in your home's lifestyle statement.

Career Development Center for Graduate Students
Just because you made it to graduate school does not mean you should already know everything there is to know about your career path or preparing for a job search. At Fresno State Career Development Center, we would like to help you with any aspect of your career planning or job searching needs. Below are some of the main services we offer to graduate students.
Counseling Appointments
Career Development Center offers individual, hour-long counseling/ coaching appointments. Within these appointments, you can talk to a career counselor about a variety of issues regarding your career options or simply review your application materials (resume/CV, cover letter, personal statement). The career counselor will also give you job searching tools to start your search in the right direction. Similarly, if you are considering a doctoral program, a counselor can show you how to search for and apply to programs. Call 559.278.2381 to make an appointment with one of our career counselors.
Walk-in Advising
If you have a quick question or resume review, feel free to utilize our walk in hours. Check our schedule posted online as walk-in hours vary from semester to semester, but we usually have two hours available Monday through Thursday.
Career Assessments
Career Development Center has a variety of career assessments to lend valuable insight into your interests, personality, aptitudes, and values in relation to your career path. See the Career Assessments page on this website to see an overview of the options. Take the assessments and then make an hour-long appointment with a career counselor to go over the results. A graduate degree does not necessarily direct you to a specific career path, so taking an assessment might help you to narrow your options.
Resume/CV & Cover Letter Critique
Call 559.278.2381 to make an appointment or visit walk-in hours to have a professional critique of these important application materials.
Job Searching Tools
Career Development Center offers HireFresnoState (formerly BulldogLink), a web-based job listing system where graduate students can access jobs and paid internships. We also have a variety of other internet based job searching resources.
Considering a Doctorate?
If you would like to continue your graduate study beyond your master's degree, call 559.278.2381 to make an appointment and to talk about the steps needed to apply to a doctoral program.

Evolution Hoax
(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview dated September 2, 2010)
Or did those with sickness in their hearts imagine that Allah would not expose their malevolence? (Surah Muhammad, 29)
Hypocrites harbor an unbelievable grudge. They want to express them in various ways but their perfidious souls, their perverted spirit do not let them. They have arrogance. They hide their grudge because they need to show themselves to others as if they are obedient. Hypocrites harbor the hatred of satan.
