These essential fatty acids are needed to form important prostaglandins that maintain and regulate vital body functions. Evening Primrose Oil is also used to enhance women's well-being. Vitamin E is added to enhance long term freshness and ensure a more stable product without artificial preservatives. What is Evening Primrose Oil?Evening primrose oil (EPO), comes from the seeds of the evening primrose plant. Like black currant seed oil and borage oil, EPO contains gamma linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid that the body converts to a hormone-like substance called prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). Where is it found?EPO is found primarily in supplements. Its presumed active ingredient, GLA, can also be found in black currant seed oil and borage oil supplements. However, it is not known whether the effects of these three oils in the body are the same. Natural Factors priority is enhancing people's health. They offer more than 300 different formulas available exclusively at natural health stores. They are family-owned, Canadian-based business. They have produced and sold quality supplements to North Americans for more than 50 years. They grow their own herbs, organically and process them fresh from the fields. They test and standardize herbs for total quality control. Their science team includes medical doctors, naturopathic physicians, researchers and herbalists from around the world. They create new, condition-specific formulas that are clinically proven to work. Their laboratory facilities comply with Good Laboratory Practices and are among the finest in North America. They meet or exceed Canadian Government Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines and all Health Canada and FDA regulatory requirements Factor Farms:A quality herbal product starts with the highest quality fresh organic plant material. The efficacy of herbal products has always been affected by growing conditions, harvesting, processing and storage. At Factor Farms in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada our quality can be guaranteed as we control the entire process from seedling to finished product. To grow herbs organically no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides or pesticides are allowed. We use only natural substances that have been approved by the organic industry. You can be assured that the fresh herb extracts contain no traces of unwanted chemical. Even the seed and plant sources are organic. To be organically certified, certification inspectors work closely with growers to ensure that the organic standards are adhered to. We must keep detailed records of what we use on our farm. Even after harvest, processing is regulated so that no harmful chemicals are used to manufacture the fresh herb extracts. Local cultivation of medicinal herbs at Factors Farms ensures that the herbs are picked, processed, and extracted at just the right time when the active ingredients are at their peak. Natural Factor knows that the natural habitats of many herbs are shrinking and that over-harvesting from the wild can endanger native medicinal plant populations. So organic cultivation of herbs is preferred over "wild crafting".

What Is the FileHippo Safety Guarantee?
We know how important it is to stay safe online so FileHippo is using virus scanning technology provided by Avira to help ensure that all downloads on FileHippo are safe. The program you are about to download is safe to be installed on your device.
# Bugs Fixed
* Important Change: Replication: Setting an empty user in a CHANGE MASTER TO statement caused an invalid internal result and is no longer permitted. Trying to use MASTER_USER='' or setting MASTER_PASSWORD while leaving MASTER_USER unset causes the statement to fail with an error.
* Important Change: Replication: Moving the binary log file, relay log file, or both files to a new location, then restarting the server with a new value for --log-bin, --relay-log, or both, caused the server to abort on start. This was because the entries in the index file overrode the new location. In addition, paths were calculated relative to datadir (rather than to the --log-bin or --relay-log values). The fix for this problem means that, when the server reads an entry from the index file, it now checks whether the entry contains a relative path. If it does, the relative part of the path is replaced with the absolute path set using the --log-bin or --relay-log option. An absolute path remains unchanged; in such a case, the index must be edited manually to enable the new path or paths to be used.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: When doing a live downgrade from MySQL 5.6.4 or later, with innodb_page_size set to a value other than 16384, now the earlier MySQL version reports that the page size is incompatible with the older version, rather than crashing or displaying a "corruption" error.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: Issuing INSERT...ON DUPLICATE KEY statements for InnoDB tables from concurrent threads could cause a deadlock, particularly with the INSERT...ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE form. The fix avoids deadlocks caused by the same row being accessed by more than one transaction. Deadlocks could still occur when multiple rows are inserted and updated simultaneously by different transactions in inconsistent order; those types of deadlocks require the standard error handling on the application side, of re-trying the transaction.
* An incorrect InnoDB assertion could cause the server to halt. This issue only affected debug builds. The assertion referenced the source file btr0pcur.ic and the variable cursor->pos_state.
* Locale information for FORMAT() function instances was lost in view definitions.
* The handle_segfault() signal-handler code in mysqld could itself crash due to calling unsafe functions.
* Enabling myisam_use_mmap could cause the server to crash.
* Concurrent access to ARCHIVE tables could cause corruption.

This is a question specifically about Thai views of giving someone a Buddha statue.
What is the view - if any - of a "Farang" (non Thai) such as myself giving a Thai person a gift of a Buddha statue, say for a birthday.
I don't think there would be any issue but I thought it best to check as there are often little customs I forget and especially with something as important as this I don't want to offend.

It also describes some of the political battles that have been fought around the legal services program and the restrictions that have come with government funding. It concludes with some brief thoughts about the future.Download PDF

Civil Legal Assistance in the United States: An Update for 2009
While there is new hope for increased federal funding and a renewed interest in civil legal aid at the federal level, civil legal aid is facing reductions in funding from state sources which, until 2009, had been expanding and had overtaken LSC as the largest source of civil legal aid funding.Download PDF

This is the outdoor wall clock that maintains its unerring accuracy from the radio clock transmitter in Fort Collins, Colorado. Its 14"-diameter face uses 3 1/2"-high numbers for the hour, allowing you to easily read the time from up to 25' away. Providing accurate time across the entire lower 48 United States, the clock's radio receiver synchronizes with NIST-F1, the United States' atomic clock which will never gain or lose a second in 60 million years. A thermometer integrated into the face's 4- and 5-o'clock positions provides readings in 20-degree increments from -20� F to 120� F (inner ring displays Celsius in 10� increments). An adjacent hygrometer provides the relative humidity in 10% increments from 0-100%. Includes automatic Daylight Saving Time adjustment. One AA battery (required) provides up to a year of accurate timekeeping. 18" Diameter x 3 1/4" D. (5 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Always Accurate Outdoor Clock comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.
Should you have any questions, we are available seven days a week (8:00 am – midnight EST). Please call 1-800-321-1484 to speak with a specialist or email us at email@example.com to receive a response within three business hours or less.

Outdoor clock not as advertized
By spud
from montreal quebec canada
Clock is advertised as an outdoor clock while the enclosed instructions state that the clock can only be outdoors in a "dry climate" and is "not water resistant"
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comments. This item is designed for outdoor use. However, it is suggested to choose a location with an overhang to protect the clock from the overhead sun or standing snow or rain and a shaded location will prevent inaccurate temperature readings. The clock should not be submerged in water, but can maintain outdoor elements with the above suggestions. If you should want to exchange or return this clock, please remember that we offer a lifetime guarantee of satisfaction. Please call us at 1-800-321-1484 if at anytime you should decide you would like to return or exchange this item.

Perfect outdoor clock
By tpod
from Shrewsbury, MA
I owned this same clock for years, and it broke this year. When I saw it at Hammacher Schlemmer I was very happy that I could order another one here, because if it breaks on me again, I know that I now have a lifetime warranty with HS. It looks great on our farmer's porch - nice big display, and very accurate.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great looking clock
By MikeG
from Owego, NY
We mounted ours outside on the house over the deck. Because of the size, the time can be read from all over the patio.
Always accurate clock
The WWV-based clock is great because it's always accurate, and you don't have to push the time forward or back due to daylight saving time. The thermometer and hygrometer seem to be very accurate too.

I want to like Paul Thomas Anderson's new film The Master, and perhaps my expectations were too high. If so, they were high for good reason: Anderson has set such a lofty bar with his previous work.I haven't seen his first feature-length film Hard Eight (1996), but since seeing Boogie Nights (1997) on DVD, I've eagerly anticipated each of his subsequent theatrical releases. I loved both Magnolia (1999) and Punch-Drunk Love (2002). And 2007's There Will Be Blood was easily my favorite film of … [Read more...]

Being a native C++ application, it has some advantages over existing embedded scripting languages. It uses a header-only approach, which makes it easy to integrate with existing projects. It maintains type safety between your C++ application and user scripts. It supports a variety of C++ techniques including callbacks, overloaded functions, class methods, and STL containers.
smake is a highly portable 'make' program that makes commands up to date based on rules in Makefiles and on the timestamps of the related files. It implements a complete superset of the features of the classical POSIX/Unix make program. It warns about typical misuse of dynamic macros that prevent portability of makefiles. Its automake features allow you to run scripts to automatically create rules for unknown platforms.

The GRASP Project has created an algorithmic-level graphical representation for software called the Control Structure Diagram (CSD). The CSD was created to improve the comprehension efficiency of Ada source code and, as a result, improve software reliability and reduce software costs. Since its creation, the CSD has been expanded and adapted to include other languages. GRASP provides the capability to generate CSD's from Ada 95, C, C++, Java, and VHDL source code in both a reverse and forward engineering mode with a level of flexibility suitable for professional application. GRASP has been integrated with the GNU family of compilers for Ada (GNAT) and C (gcc), and Sun's javac compiler for Java. Use of GRASP is not restricted to these compilers, however. This has resulted in a comprehensive graphically-based development environment for these languages. The user may view, edit, print, and compile source code as CSDs with no discernible addition to storage or computational overhead.

I haven't seen the answer to this question as far as BT5 R3 goes, what is the size of the flash drive needed? I see that it runs at ~10.5GB, there needs to be a 200MB /boot, and 1GB swap.
So would you recommend no less then a 16GB? Or is there something I am missing?

LISTEN: Wolfgang Gartner - 'Piranha' (preview)
Listen to Wolfgang Gartner on iHeartRadio
Piranhas are known for their bite and their sharp teeth. Similarly, Wolfgang Gartner's "Piranha" has got some bite too - but we're not talking about a fish here.
Having recently finished up his Hounds of Hell tour with Tommy Trash, Wolfgang Gartner is back with another sharp tune! "Piranha" is melodic and elevating, but also packs in that electro-house his fans love him for.
"Piranha" will be released December 17th via his own Kindergarten Recordings.

Claypots Seafood – St Kilda
May 25 2010
Category: Bayside, Dinner, Lunch, seafood
I need to preface this blog post by saying, categorically, I am not a St Kilda girl. There's something about this bayside hub that has always deterred me – except for the occasional summertime trip to Clamms or a gig at the Palais. It may have something to do with feeling like I could get mugged at any time, or that I'll end up paying for parking. Or both. At the same time.
I do love how a plate of shellfish, so visually impressive it elicited a 'Phwoar!' from a neighbouring diner, could possible change all this …Claypots Seafood (St Kilda)

Preconception Care
My first & only son is born with clefts. Me, my husband & even my son's chromosomal analysis was done, by God's grace everything was normal. Some say it might be because of medicine which you took while pregnancy, but all i took was folic acid, vitamins & calcium. Now I'm concern on what precautions should I take while pregnancy in order to avoid the same.

Hi ibrualfi,
Often times birth defects are due to the egg and/or sperm being of lower quality. I have 5 children, and my 3rd child was born with a congenital heart defect and had to have open heart surgery when he was 2 months old. When I conceived him, I had been eating more sugar, and eating more chemicals (low fat foods that are made to taste good by the addition of chemical laden ingredients). What I should have been doing was eating a healthy diet which included lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, some healthy carbohydrates like brown rice, eating high quality protein, and healthy fats like avocado, coconut oil and olive oil, and taking essential fatty acids because in our diet (where we live) we don't get enough cold water fish that have good levels of essential fatty acids. I should also have been avoiding sugar and simple carbohydrates like white rice, muffins, cookies, crackers, pies, candy, etc.
So... lesson learned and I don't feel guilty for what happened to my son because I didn't understand, at that time, what a huge role preconception care plays.
I would encourage both you and your husband to have at least 4 months of preconception care before you start trying for another baby. You'll want to be sure you include some good essential fatty acids in your diet and/or take a supplement like a high quality cod liver oil. Essential Fatty Acids play a vital role in egg quality. Folic acid before pregnancy is super important as well. After the birth of my 3rd baby, my doctor put me on 5,000 mcg of folic acid, and when I got pregnant, we lowered that to 1 mcg. of folic acid during pregnancy. Baby #4 and Baby #5 were healthy, even though I gave birth to the last one just before my 41st birthday.
We know it takes about 4 months for an egg to become fully mature and ready to be fertilized, and it takes about 4 months for sperm to be created. So if you start your preconception care AT LEAST 4 months before you conceive, you'll be producing eggs that are healthier.
Your husband may benefit from taking a zinc supplement each day or by eating more foods that are high in zinc and from some essential fatty acids as well.
I would also highly recommend that you search for a practitioner that can guide you. Midwives can give good guidance on how to prepare for pregnancy as can naturopaths and other holistic practitioners.
Warm regards,

text: It was just a few short years ago that Miley Cyrus made her Hannah Montana movie and finished off her long run on the Disney series. My how times have changed. A few years ago everyone in the world went crazy for a few days when Miley posed and sent out photos of herself in a bra. Now, we are all kind of shocked if she even bothers to wear a bra and if she does, then that is all she is wearing. Sure, she might pretend to put a strip of cotton over it that she calls a t-shirt, but it is basically a neck warmer and allows everything else to breathe free and easy. She has sex toy cakes and talks about how good sex is with Liam and now has actually taken the stage with a stripper on a pole and shattered the last part of any Disney image she has and any hope that if she runs out of money Disney will have her back to the show. Considering she is dumping lots of her own money into the record she is making, and the fact her movie career sucks, she might want to start wearing mouse ears and worshiping at the altar of Mickey. Don't forget your mouseketool.

Tuesday afternoon
Well, forgive me, folks — there are a multiplicity of reasons for the delay of this blog item, but allow me the excuse of waiting for the release of Fedora 20 as one reason for writing this on Tuesday instead of on Sunday.
More importantly, however, I can also gleefully blame the delay of this item on this other, more important, factor: The Call for Papers for the Southern California Linux Expo SCALE 12X closed Sunday night. Yours truly — along with the rest of the SCALE Team — have to go through close to 250 propsals for roughly 80-90 speaking slots for the event. No small task, but one that I wouldn't trade anything to do. All the talk proposals I've read so far have been outstanding, and it's going to be a chore-and-a-half to make the decision about who stays and who goes.
I've said this before and I'll say it again — I have the best job in the world as SCALE's Publicity Chairperson, and it's an honor to work with the folks who put on North America's largest community-run Linux/FOSS expo. But between now and February, things will be a little hectic in bloggerville. Consider that a warning.
Meanwhile, as mentioned and linked earlier, Fedora 20 is out and available — for those of you who want to give Heisenbug a run, feel free to do so.
Also, it may be the holiday season, but it's not too early to register for SCALE 12X if you're mapping out your expo-visiting plans for 2014. SCALE 12X is going to be a good one — I know I say that every year, but have I ever been wrong about this?
Not much else to report on this week, so be excellent to each other. Not because it's the holiday season, but because it's the right thing to do.
See you Sunday, or thereabouts.

Well I received an email from my webhost saying that they've received complaints about my dedicated server sending spammails. Its weird as I'd never do such thing myself, it also would not benefit me at all. As I've investigated further, I was able to track down the spammer's info from this:
X-Mailer: vBulletin Mail via PHPDate: Tue, 3 Sep 2013 13:02:12 -0700X-AntiAbuse: This header was added to track abuse, please include it with any abuse reportX-AntiAbuse: Primary Hostname - srv1.******.comX-AntiAbuse: Original Domain - lycos.comX-AntiAbuse: Originator/Caller UID/GID - [500 32007] / [47 12]X-AntiAbuse: Sender Address Domain - srv1.******.comX-Get-Message-Sender-Via: srv1.******.com: authenticated_id: ******/from_hX-Source: /usr/bin/phpX-Source-Args: /usr/bin/php /home/******/forum/showthread.phpX-Source-Dir: ******.com:/public_html/******/forum
This is a message from Ann Curtis ( mailto: ) from the ****** Forum ( http://www.******.com/forum/ ).
The message is as follows:
Dearest Energy User,
A POWERFUL invention from 1927 that secretly powered the famous Col. Charle=s Lindbergh's aircraft on his voyage to be the first to cross the atlantic =by airplane without stopping.
The same invention has already helped thousands of energy users by SLASHING=their Electric Bill up to almost 100 percent.
See this page to see the video: http://payspree.com/12855/ann
Have a good one.
Ann Curtis
So apparently this 'Ann Curtis' from payspree.com(actually techville,net) was able to send spammails by impersonating my server through Vbulletin's showthread.php page. I've heard that in the earliest days of VB3 there was a XSS security flaw within VB3.0.7, but this is VB3.8.7(patch lv.3) already and I doubt if such XSS vulnerability still exists. It could also be session hijacking, I have no idea what it is.
This problem caught my attention since I had a similar experience back in July, and I was able to persuade my webhost to continue to run my forum as the spammer left after the webhost suspended my account for about 2-3 days. So its technically the second time that my vbulletin forum's showthread page vulnerability is being abused, I wonder if anyone else is experiencing an issue similar to this? If so, how do you fix it? Please lemme know if you know anything about it. Thx.
I did a few searches and came across this (not sure if it helps you or not)http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=296277
Oh thats a very helpful clue, thank you so much. I will see if I can confirm that its indeed the same issue as the user Smitty was encountering. Thx.
And it just happened again, my webhost is so annoying that it threatens to suspend my account if I cant resolve the issue. The problem is, it is NOT my fault...
Anyway I find that the email always contain url address 'http://payspree.com/12855/ann'. Is there a way to modify the showthread.php such that it rejects the email from being sent whenever it detects this specific url from user-submitted data? VB 3.8 is a third party script with thousands of lines of code, it's all procedural code and takes forever for me to even read through the script file. sigh
You might want to consider either upgrading to version 4 (version 3 is probably not supported any more) or migrate over to another forum software. What sort of size is the forum (number of users, number of threads and number of posts)? What sort of weekly traffic levels does it get?
You should run anti-virus and anti-malware/spyware scans on both the server (if you have the rights/permissions to) and on any PC you use to use ftp to access the file structure. If they come up clean, change your ftp password (making sure the new one is a very strong one) just in case anyone has guessed your ftp password
Nope, not a single chance. VB3.8 >>> VB4, its a downgrade if I choose to 'upgrade' my VB. After all, Sitepoint, DevShed, Theadminzone , Webhostingtalk all use VB3, theres a good reason for that. You dont upgrade for the sake of increasing the version number, when VB4 has never ever been better than VB3 in terms of functionality and quality.
Its not a very active forum, it has 10-20 registered users every day but thats about it. I do receive a lot more guests though, but the forum is able to block most of the spammers trying to register. This spammail issue apparently was sent by an un-registered user, showthread.php seems to be the script with XSS vulnerability. I have disabled every usergroup to send email to friend option, except for the admins/mods. Not sure how this is gonna help.
That's definitely true, except for Sitepoint. Sitepoint is not using VB3
I see, but whatever... I'd use VB3 unless I decide to move to another platform like IPB or Xenforo. I will try anything possible to fix this XSS issue, except for this so-called upgrading which is in fact a downgrade considering VB 3.8.7 is still by far the best version of VB ever produced.
I can't speak to that as I've been out of the vBulletin world for years. So I'll just politely respect your decision to stay away from VB4/5.
Just curious, have you tried denying the IP address that is sending the spam in an .htaccess file? At least so they have to either change their IP to make use of the attack again?

Staff Representative to the Academic Senate
Welcome to the beginning of the 2012-2013 academic year. I join all of you in extending the warmest welcome to our new students, and to those students who are returning, it's great to have you back. This rhythm of approximately a quarter of our students beginning as new students each year and about the same number graduating at the end of the year is one of the special characteristics of the university and one that ensures change. There is always joy at the beginning and end of the academic year because we fulfill our mission of providing educational opportunities to a new cohort of young and inquisitive minds, and after a few years we can see that we have done well in preparing the graduating seniors for a life of achievements. Despite all the financial difficulties facing higher education in California, we are lucky to be a part of such a noble enterprise. As an institution and as individuals we have a great and positive impact upon our students, their families, and their communities.
I am also pleased that this convocation is being held at Weill Hall, our newest university space that will serve as a gathering place for so many academic and performance activities. Spaces are very important for human activities, and without a doubt this is a magnificent space, but what goes on in this Hall - bringing together education, music and performance - is what is really important. All components and spaces of the Green Music Center must enhance the academic quality and experiences of Sonoma State University and help in bringing the people of California and others to this university. The numerous and diverse activities planned for this and coming years make clear that excellence is achievable when vision, hard work, perseverance, and the support of many come together. This should serve as a model for our students for what they too can do. This is one of the reasons that I have great hopes about the future.
Unfortunately, actions taken in the last few years and contemplated in the next few months are presenting great challenges for the university and are compromising the quality of higher education that we are committed to provide to our students. California has gravely disinvested in its public colleges and universities. The state's support for higher education as measured against California's personal income is at its lowest level since 1965. The prosperity of our immediate future demands that we should be investing more in our students, the creative workforce and the future innovators, but California is doing the opposite and instead enormous amounts of resources have already been taken away and there are threats of more reductions beginning in January. Collectively the people of California must shout loudly and unambiguously to the Governor and the Legislators "STOP!!! Stop allowing the deterioration of what once was a world renowned public higher education system by continuing to make annual cuts to education. These cuts threaten our primary hope for a brighter future for California, which is an educated, talented, creative, and innovative workforce that can help California rebuild its economy. Not supporting education will irrevocably damage our State's future." We need to rebuild, not tear down education.
Let me give you a status report of where we are:
We began the fiscal year with a flat budget, no additional state appropriations to the prior year, 2011-12, which included $750 million in reductions. For your information, this budget reflects $968 million less than the peak state support of nearly $3 billion that was provided in the fiscal year 2007-08. In addition, the CSU has funded $135 million in mandatory costs increases, such as employee health care benefits and the costs of operating and maintaining new space. In prior years the state funded these mandatory costs. When you add the reductions and the mandatory costs, the CSU has $1.103 billion less to spend on its students, employees and facilities. This is the lowest state appropriation to the CSU since 1996, despite inflationary costs and teaching 95,000 more students (roughly 11 campuses the size of SSU).
Tuition and fee increases have resulted in many negative comments directed mainly to the Board of Trustees and the Administration of the CSU but these negative feelings should have been directed to the Governor and Legislature who are responsible for shortcomings in the funding of higher education. These tuition and fee increases account for only $593 million since the 2007-08 benchmark year leaving a net negative impact of $510 million. Since Sonoma State University accounts for approximately 2.3% of the CSU budget, our share of the negative impact is $11.73 million or close to 30% of our budget. I often tell business executives that if they were to lose 30% of their budget in such a short period of time they would have closed the doors and they agreed. Instead, we have covered this major resources gap with a number of strategies including management reorganization and downsizing, increasing class size, reducing instruction and student services, not replacing retiring faculty, staff and administrators, cost reductions at all levels, deferrals of purchases and projects, reduction in enrollment, and the utilization of one-time resources. As I said we have managed by spending one-time only funds so once they are spent, they are completely gone. So, this is what we call the structural deficit. We are still looking for $1.2 million to close this structural deficit by the end of the fiscal year.
This past November the Board of Trustees approved a tuition and fees increase of about 9% effective this fall semester which would yield an estimated $132 million net of financial aid and this would help the campuses with their structural deficit. In addition, spring semester enrollment is cancelled at half of the campuses, and for the other half, including Sonoma State University, it is limited only to transfer students from the community colleges in the SB1440 program. We expect that these transfer students will be very few. I am particularly concerned about the restrictions imposed on admitting new teaching credential students who often come in the spring semester and I expect an enrollment decline in the schools of education at all campuses. All students will be waitlisted for admissions to the 2013-14 academic year pending the results of Proposition 30 in November.
When the Legislature passed and the Governor signed the budget for this fiscal year, it included the expectation that the voters would approve the Governor's recommended tax increases in the November 2012 general election Proposition 30. If the voters reject this tax measure, then there would be automatic trigger reductions to balance the budget including $250 million for the CSU. This means that the state reductions would amount to $1 billion in the current year with one quarter of that billion to be achieved in the six month period of January 1 to June 30 of 2013. The pain would be enormous with only cruel choices ahead. Everyone at the university- students, faculty, staff, administrators, and community- would be deeply affected. The university would be very different.
In addition, the Legislature approved an expenditure of $125 million for the CSU and a similar amount to the UC beginning with the 2013-14 fiscal year and contingent upon the voter approval of the tax increases and the roll-back of the tuition fee increase this year. Given that we had already approved and collected the tuition and fees for the fall semester, the CSU has agreed to reimburse the students this amount if the tax measure is approved and we then hope that the approved funding for the next fiscal year becomes a reality. We all know that the State has not been able to keep many of the promises to education. At the same time, in the best of circumstances this legislative action creates an additional $132 million deficit this year, a continuing $8 million shortfall in revenues, and adds significant administrative costs associated with the reimbursement process.
Given all of these actions, even under the best-case scenario of the governor's tax initiative approval in November, the effective gap in our fiscal resources against the 2007-08 benchmark year would increase to $557 million. For SSU our share of this gap is approximately $12.8 million. This is unsustainable. Despite all the reorganizations, cost cutting measures, reductions in personnel, decreases in enrollment, and the expenditure of one-time resources, all of it combined would not be enough to close the gap. The university would have to be reconstructed in radical ways with the closing of programs and activities and a reformulation of the traditional ways of providing instruction. We would have to become a different university. Next month the Board of Trustees will consider a number of measures to address the $250 million trigger reduction; but I suspect that the measures would be significant and cruel.
The answer to this drastic situation rests with a greater commitment of the State of California through its Governor and Legislature to fund its public higher education. And this is where I have hope for a better future. When you are at the bottom of the well, there is only one way out and it is up. A recent study by the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research ("Public Higher Education in California: Examining the Fiscal Landscape of the 21st Century", April 18, 2012) concluded that unless significant actions are taken soon, the present conditions would lead to the end of all the state support for the UC and the CSU in ten years. Our 33 public universities would become for all practical purposes private institutions depending on at least doubling the cost of student tuition and fees and relying much more on sponsored research and philanthropy. This would be a very tough scenario for many of our institutions and workable for only a few; but the value of the report lies in that it clearly shows where we are going unless change is coming and soon. The continuous decline of state support will eliminate the public from higher education in California. The consequences for workforce development and job growth are enormous and the quality of life for Californians would be severely impaired.
The U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, has chastised the states, including California, for cutting spending on higher education using the familiar phrase, "penny wise-and pound foolish." He said that the majority of the states are "undermining their own economic growth" and that, "Disinvestment is not the strategy that other countries are choosing." (The Chronicle of Higher Education, August 9, 2012).
Despite all of these negative issues I remain hopeful for a better future. This optimism is not based on a Pollyannaish characteristic of my mental attitude but it is based on the belief that Californians know that the bottom of the well has been reached and that there is only one strategy left and that is to reinvest in public higher education. This need to reinvest is not totally based on the fact that it is the good and right thing to do, it is the only thing we can do to achieve a better future. It is a rational strategy of self-preservation. It will not happen right away, but it has to be soon.
In the meantime, we will continue to do the best that we can do for our students. We will invest ourselves in their educational pursuits through the sharing of our knowledge, skills and life experiences. We will nurture and prepare them to be active citizens and leaders in society, capable of pursuing fulfilling careers in a changing world. They will develop a love of life-long learning, have a broad cultural perspective, appreciate intellectual and aesthetic achievements, and will be concerned with contributing to the health and well-being of the world at large. We will do this not just because it is our mission to do this but because our students are our hope for a brighter future.
Best wishes for this new semester.

iTunes Tune-up 14: Moving your library to a bigger drive

Since 1984 he's hosted a weekly classical music program on WTJU, and is also active as a blogger and podcaster.
More from Ralph Graves
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
It's been quite a while since I've actually stored any of my music on my computer. I moved my iTunes® library off my laptop back in 2007. Good thing, too. It enabled me to save higher-resolution files (which take up more memory) without clogging up my computer. This past week, though, I finally did it. I completely filled up my 1TB (that's one terabyte, or 1,000 gigabytes) hard drive.
No problem. I purchased a 2TB drive, and I was back in business. iTunes makes transferring your library from one machine (or drive) to another pretty easy, but it's important to follow all the steps.Here's what I did using iTunes 10 and an Apple PowerBook. If you're using a PC, your experience may differ slightly in the details. I took a couple of missteps along the way -- you'll find those (and the solutions) at the bottom.
Getting started
To transfer iTunes music files from one computer (or drive) to another, you can't just highlight the folders and drag them over with a cursor to the new drive.The directory for all those music files is kept in a separate location. Doing things the right way helps iTunes keep track of where your music's being moved to, and adjusts the directory accordingly.
It's important that iTunes keep the directory info attached to the music files. To ensure this, I selected Preferences (under the Edit tab) and in the Advanced settings checked "Keep iTunes Media folder organized."
The first thing I did to start the process was to connect both the old 1TB drive and the new 2TB drive to the laptop and open iTunes. Under the File tab there's a subdirectory for Library which opens up some other options. I selected "Export Library." The process involves copying the old library to the new drive which is a good thing. If anything goes wrong, the original library is still intact and I haven't lost anything.
Changing locations
After making that selection, I was prompted to designate where I wanted iTunes to change the location to. In the screen shot below, the old drive was highlighted. The new drive I was going to use is directly below it on the left. I clicked on the "FreeAgent" drive icon, and then the "Choose" button in the lower right corner.
A prompt appeared asking if I would like to move and rename the files in my new folder to match the "Keep iTunes Media folder organized." The answer was Yes!
I was then given a choice of whether to just consolidate my media files, or reorganize them in the new drive. That was the plan. I checked "Reorganize."
Once that was done, I was then again offered the choice of copying all my media files (used by iTunes). I clicked "OK."
In the new drive, I could now see that the iTunes Media folder had been created. By selecting "Choose," I started the process of copying the music files from their existing location (my 1TB drive) to the new drive.
Staring at the status bar
Once the process started, I saw a status bar appear. The screen shot below is a little deceptive, as it shows a single track name. In reality, the titles flickered past as fast as the files were copied, making them almost illegible.
But that wasn't important. The important thing to follow was the status bar. I actually didn't pay much attention to the status bar, save to check it from time to time. Setting up for the transfer took about 20 minutes. The actual transfer took several hours (25,000+ songs, taking up 900+GB of memory).
When the task was finished, the bar disappeared, and my library was now stored in a much roomier drive. And I was once again able to add music to my digital library. For now.
Caution: Make sure to format your drive
Because the drive I chose was both Mac and PC compatible -- and connected via a USB cable -- I assumed that I could use it right away, like a flash drive. When I plugged it into my laptop, the icon for the drive appeared, and I could open it up and look at the directory.
But I didn't read the instructions that came with the drive, so I didn't format it for Mac (a simple process -- a folder on the drive had all the setups and prompts I needed). Because I hadn't, the permissions for the drive remained read-only. Which I discovered the first time I tried to transfer the library and nothing happened.
I'd had problems with permissions before, so I checked the new drive. You can do this by highlighting the drive icon and either selecting "Get Info" from the Finder, or pressing "Apple+I" on the keyboard (on a PC right-click on the icon and select "Properties" from the pop-up window that appears). Sure enough, the drive was set for read-only.
Normally, I can change permissions for drives pretty easily. There's a small lock that appears on the right bottom of the window. I select that, and as the computer's administrator I can change permissions. I couldn't do so in this case, because the drive hadn't been formatted.
Once I had formatted it, then I was able to go in and change the permission that allowed me to both read and write to the disc. A simple problem, but a potentially frustrating one if you don't know what to look for.
Will 2TB be enough memory? It will for a while. Perhaps I'll do a similar post a few years from now!

OffBEAT with Jake Bugg
Listen to Jake Bugg on iHeartRadio
Jake Bugg's self-titled debut is arguably one of the most highly anticipated albums of 2013. The singer/songwriter hails from Nottingham, England, and although he grew up during the height of the Brit-pop explosion, his brand of folk-rock suggests that he's wise well beyond his 19 years.
Jake Bugg has already received critical acclaim in the U.K., and with the buzz surrounding the release of his album stateside, Bugg proves that the British Invasion is not only far from over, but also that it's definitely not just about pop music.

Jake Bugg stopped by the iHeartRadio studios in New York City recently, where he sat down to answer some questions about everything but the music.
What happened to Jacob Kennedy?
Kennedy is my mom's name and Bugg is my dad's name, so it's not a stage name... It's just shorter, you know? It's easy to remember, it's only two syllables. Jake Bugg. So I thought I'd use that.
How did you get here?
Well I was quite fortunate, to be honest. I did a few demos with a guy who knew a guy who ended up being my manager, who knew a guy at a label. The first label we gave [the demos] to wanted to come up to a rehearsal and have a listen. There was no hype or anything, and they took a chance and let me make a record.
When did you realize your whole life had changed?
It seems to just be a continuous journey. It's something that I've wanted to do since I started playing, really, and I knew that I wanted to do it as a career and I hope the momentum keeps building. I remember when I got the deal it was a big thing for me, but once you get the deal that's when the work starts. I've got to just keep going I guess.
Have you been robbed of your youth?
No, not at all. I knew as soon as I left school that I wanted to go see the world. Before last year, I'd never been out of England so I've got to see a lot of the world in little time and I'm really enjoying it but there is a lot of growing up to do, but you know, I don't know anything else. It's kind of all I want to do.
What's pretty about getting out of Nottingham?
I get to see the world and meet a lot of cool people.
What would you like to learn this year?
I'd like to get better on the drums, learn some more grooves on the drums.

text: After eight years together, Josh Brolin and Diane Lane have called it quits. The couple released a joint statement to US Weekly which said blah blah blah. Well, not exactly, but it was just as exciting. The statement did say the couple split a couple of months ago. I'm actually shocked Diane hung around as long as she did, but Josh was good for her in other ways that were not evident with his yelling and screaming and drunken arrests. Oh, and the bar fights.

BREVARD, N.C.- Despite a late rally and a goal from Yuki Soga, Brevard fell 3-2 in a tightly contested match against Queens in a South Atlantic Conference bout Sunday afternoon at Brevard Soccer Field in Brevard, N.C.
The Royals continue their hot start to the 2013 campaign and improves to 5-1-1, 1-0-1 SAC on the season while the Tornados dropped their third consecutive match and sit at 3-3-0, 0-0-1 SAC.
"It was a tough game, we knew Queens was organized," said head coach Shigeyoshi Shinohara. "We practiced well, we were organized well and I'm really proud of our girls."
In the 22nd minute, the Royals Brooke Foil found Ashley Osiecki inside the box and Osiecki bested BC goalkeeper Brittany Webster to give Queens an early 1-0 advantage.
The Tornados responded in the 41st minute when Kaitlin Burns notched her first collegiate goal after her shot hit the post and ricocheted into the back of the net while Elena Crowe picked up the assist.
"She (Burns) has improved a lot in the last month," said Shinohara. "She has a great touch on the ball and she holds the ball really well. When she gets the ball, you feel that she will do something special."
The Royals regained the lead again in the 54th minute when Cassandra Nelson found Logan Vitale wide open in front of the net and Vitale chipped in the go-ahead goal to make it a 2-1 match.
Queens' Kelli Gottry made it 3-1 when she scored from 12 yards out from the right side. However, Soga netted her team-high third goal on the season in the 83rd minute on a header when she received a feed from Clair Deese to cut the deficit to one, 3-2.
The Royals were able to stave off BC in the waning minutes to claim the victory. Queens outshot BC, 8-2, in the first half and 13-6 on the day. Webster accumulated four saves while her counterpart, Jessyca Young stonewalled three shots.
The Tornados hit the road for a match against conference foe Newberry at 1:30 p.m. in Newberry, S.C. on Wednesday.

I delivered my first through a Caesarean operation and have been wondering if there is any danger of giving vaginal birth after? Do I have to expect the same procedure if I will be having my second child?
Dear Kheam,
Thank you for posting this interesting question.
The short answer is no - women who have a c-section are, in the majority of cases, able to go on and have a subsequent vaginal birth.
Please could I ask why you had a c-section with your first baby? This reason can affect your future births.
Having a vaginal birth after a previous c-section is known as VBAC. 80% of women who try for a VBAC are able to achieve it (the rest end in c-sections). Many women and their medical carers consider this option because of the risks and recovery associated with a c-section. We have lots of resources on VBAC here. With a VBAC there is a small risk of the uterine scar rupturing (less than 0.5%). However, you would be closely monitored and if this risk became evident then an emergency c-section would be carried out.
It is really important to have supportive medical staff when you are wanting to have a VBAC. Your midwife needs to be in support of this decision. You may also want to consider having a doula to help support you.
Warm wishes,
Hello LJ,
Thank you for the wonderful and informative insights.
The opening of my cervix is not progressing, I have been induced for 3 days and nothing happened. Up until the baby was taken out of my tummy, it opened 3cm only. On the other hand, on my 28th weeks I had a 1cm opening which my OB let me take a medicine for this in which it would go back to the normal track. Is there any chance of affecting the cervix to open when on the due date?
Best regards,
Dear Kheam,
What medication were you prescribed at 28 weeks?
At what week were you induced? Please could I ask the reason why you were induced.
The cervix is more likely to open if you go into labour naturally. If your body, and baby, are not yet ready for labour but you are induced then you are more likely to have 'failure to progress'. As an aside, this term (failure to progress) is often overused when women's bodies are expected to perform and cervixes open according to averages. Actually, the delicate and natural opening of the cervix occurs more efficiently and smoothly when a woman is left undisturbed and labour happens at its own, natural pace.
With warm wishes,

Jim Harbaugh is a master at getting his team ready after a loss
The 49ers are now 4-0 after a defeat during the Jim Harbaugh era, and the opposition has scored a combined total of 11 points in those four games, two of which San Francisco won by shutout. It's obvious that when the Niners stray off the path of their ultimate objective, Harbaugh is able to quickly reinforce their ideals and their mission. The unexpected and unexplainable 24-13 loss in Minnesota on Sept. 23 left a lot of puzzled expressions on the faces of the 49ers and their fans, but there is no question Harbaugh was able to move his team past it, as he promised he would the day after the loss. Despite having the distraction of preparing during the week away from the comfort of team headquarters, not to mention the fly-by-night conditions and arrangements of a week on the road in Youngstown, Ohio, the 49ers were as ready against the Jets as they'll ever be for game. A 34-0 mashing of a first-place team on its home turf before the always unruly enemy fans of New York is a testament to how Harbaugh keeps his team grounded and how he and his coaches can devise a game plan to both expose and dismantle and overmatched opponent.
Throwing deep really is a concern for Alex Smith
We suspected this entering the season, and we saw evidence to support the premise several times during San Francisco's first three games, when Smith rarely even attempted to throw passes that traveled more than 20 yards in the air. But he did that several times against the Jets, and he again struggled to hit on passes deep down the field after his receivers had beaten New York defenders – most noticeably on two deep shots down each sideline when Smith overthrew Mario Manningham after the veteran newcomer had gotten behind the New York defense. To be sure, Smith can hit the long ball on occasion, as he displayed several times last year and again this season to Vernon Davis. But he's already missed on numerous opportunities to hit on those big plays a quarter of the way into this season, and he must start connecting on them more frequently for defenses to play the 49ers honest. The Jets, even without cornerback-supreme Darrelle Revis, challenged the Niners with man coverage and did not fear Smith to beat them deep. And he didn't. Other opponents will follow that pattern until he does.
Colin Kaepernick is a veritable weapon that needs to become a part of the offensive game plan
He doesn't need to become a big part. But he does now, after his auspicious breakout cameo against the Jets, need to become a regular part of the game plan, even if it's just for a handful of plays each week. A handful of plays was plenty enough for Kaepernick to make a difference in New York. The second-year quarterback made a dazzling impact each time he appeared in the game from the first time he stepped on the field for the third snap of San Francisco's second offensive series. Hardly anybody had noticed that Kaepernick had snuck into the game when he lined up behind center in shotgun formation on a first-down play from the San Francisco 19-yard line, but they noticed after he took a direct snap and sliced over left tackle for a 17-yard gain and then immediately left the game. They noticed again three plays later when Kaepernick again took Alex Smith's place in the huddle and this time took the snap behind center. Kaepernick dropped back and launched a pass that traveled some 60 yards in the air toward a triple-covered Randy Moss in the end zone, and though it fell incomplete, it served notice that opponents will have to be wary of what Kap can do with his strong right arm as well as his legs. Kaepernick's next appearance came with the 49ers facing third-and-goal from the New York 7 early in the second quarter, and he again took a direct snap and cruised around the left side and into the end zone for his first career touchdown. Then it was back to Smith – until Kaepernick replaced him for San Francisco's final offensive series. After the two-minute warning, facing third down, Kap fooled the New York defense with a 30-yard bootleg run on which he would have scored easily if he hadn't slid at the 3-yard line to prevent himself from strolling into the end zone. Four plays, three carries, 54 yards rushing, one TD and one launched pass. Yes, the Niners need to start getting him at least four plays a game while Smith remains their starter.
The 49ers are back on the takeaway trail
You sort of had to wonder through the first three weeks if the 49ers would have the same knack for creating turnovers that they did last year, when San Francisco led the NFL with 38 takeaways and also led the league with a plus-28 turnover differential. The Niners had just one pick in each of their first two games, then added two fourth-quarter fumble recoveries against a second-string halfback against Minnesota in Week 3. But their aggressive, ball-hawking tendencies returned and were on full display against the Jets. The Niners played tip-drill for their one interception, which was recorded by Patrick Willis, and two of their three fumbles were the results of big hits to dislodge the football. The four-takeaway Sunday was a total they matched only twice during their spectacular turnover season last year. On a pace to produce 21 turnovers this year entering last week's game, the Niners now are on a pace for 32 at the quarter pole of the season. And you can bet with the way this team plays defense, that pace is likely to increase as the season progresses.
A spark of diversity can add fire to San Francisco's ground game
The 49ers rushed for 245 yards against the Jets, their greatest output of the Jim Harbaugh era. But it wasn't the usual grind-it-out, power rushing game highlighted by the inside bursts and outside slashing of Frank Gore. San Francisco's meal-ticket back did have game-high totals of 62 yards rushing on 21 carries, but that represented just less than half of San Francisco's total carries as the Niners got the ball into the hands of nine different players for at least one carry, something rarely seen by any NFL team. That included the runs from shotgun formation of Kaepernick, and it also included a series of reverses using receivers Manningham, Kyle Williams and Ted Ginn to soften the New York defense. Even fullback Bruce Miller got a middle-of-the-line plunge for five yards, and it's good for the Niners to give him the ball every now and then so that opponents know he can be more than just a blocker in the run game. It was Miller's first carry in four games this season. With Kendall Hunter complementing Gore superbly for 7.0 yards a pop on eight carries, the Jets never knew what was coming as the Niners hit them from all angles and directions, giving future opponents more things to consider when they scheme to stop a San Francisco rushing attack that now ranks third in the NFL.
