Thank you for supporting giraffes
Giraffes belong to the family Giraffidae, which has only one other species, the okapi. There are nine recognized subspecies of giraffe: Nigerian (G.c. peralta), Kordofan (G.c. antiquorum), Nubian (G.c. camelopardalis), Reticulated (G.c. reticulata), Rothschild (G.c. rothschildi), Masai (G.c. tippelskirchi), Thornicroft (G.c. thornicrofti), Angolan (G.c. angolensis) and South African or Cape (G.c. giraffa). All subspecies of giraffe are distinguished by their coat pattern and geographical distribution. Giraffes live mostly in eastern sub-Saharan Africa, while certain populations also live in the western and southern parts of the continent.
Giraffes live in both open savanna areas and wooded grasslands.
Adult males stand 15-18 feet (4.6-5.5 m) tall, whereas females are shorter at 13-16 feet (4-4.8 m) tall. Adult males weigh between 1,764-4,255 pounds (800-,930 kg), while females weigh only 1,213-2,601 pounds (550-1,180 kg).
Giraffes live for 10-15 years in the wild, but average 25 years at zoos.
In the wild: Various species of acacias. They also browse from the leaves and shoots of trees or shrubs of other species, but they are selective.
At the zoo: Alfalfa hay and pellets, apples, carrots, bananas and browse (elm and alder are favorites
Giraffes reach sexual maturity in captivity at 3-4 years of age. However, in the wild, males may not breed until ages 6 or 7, due to a system of hierarchy among bulls. In contrast to the male breeding age, females must be physically larger to carry offspring. Breeding season can occur at any time. Gestation is usually 13-15 months.
In the wild, birth occurs in the dry months, but in captivity, births can happen year-round. The mother delivers a single calf while standing upright. At birth, calves weigh 104-154 pounds (47-70 Kg), and stand 72-76 inches (183-193 cm) tall. Calves grow about 1.2 inches (3 cm) per day during the first week, and are 10 feet (3 m) tall by age 1. Calves can walk within an hour of birth, and usually can run within 24 hours. Young may suckle for up to a year, but they start to sample plants just a few weeks after birth. Calves are ready to leave the protection of their mother after 15-18 months of development. Less than 50% of all baby giraffes survive the first year of life, due to predation from hyenas, leopards and wild dogs. As giraffes increase in age, their main predators become lions and humans.
Giraffes live in loosely bound, scattered herds of 10-20 (up to 100), and may contain any possible combination of sexes and ages. Males establish and maintain their hierarchy by "necking" contests, or occasional violent sparring matches. Each individual knows its relative status in the hierarchy, which minimizes aggression. The top-ranked male has first choice to the best feeding areas and ovulating females.
Males and females feed from different parts of trees; the male chooses higher branches, and the female forages from the lower ones. This behavior ensures that the sexes don't compete for food within a given range.
Growing to an impressive height gives giraffes access to a level of foliage beyond reach of all other large browsers, save the elephant. Along with their height, giraffes have an incredible array of adaptations. For example, their skin coloring provides excellent camouflage, as it is several different patches of variable size and color. The skin is thick for protection and insulation. Also, the giraffe's long eyelashes keep out ants and sense thorns on the branches of the trees from which they browse. The valves in veins of the neck control a huge rush of blood to the head when leaning over; this prevents unconsciousness. There is also a network of capillaries in the brain called the "wonder-net." It acts a bit like a shock absorber and is another part of the system that prevents unconsciousness.
A giraffe's tongue is over 18 inches (46 cm) long, and the roof of the mouth is grooved to easily strip leaves off branches. Since giraffes are extremely efficient at processing nutrients and liquids from food, they can survive without water for long periods of time.
Giraffes ruminate at day or night, interspersed with periods of sleeping. They also rest with their eyes open, standing or lying for three to five minutes at a time. Throughout the night, a giraffe may deeply sleep for five to 10 minutes lying down, yet they rarely sleep more than 20 minutes total per day.
Woodland Park Zoo's reticulated giraffes are in the zoo's award-winning African Savanna. During wet and cold conditions, the giraffes usually stay in their barn. The warm and dry barn is just off the savanna, and visitors can see the giraffes through the tall entry and exit doors. Other animals seen in this exhibit area are lions, zebras, hippopotamus and fringe-eared oryx, to name a few.
Giraffes are prevalent throughout Africa, and currently their status in the wild is not in immediate danger. Though eliminated from most of their former ranges, giraffes are still reasonably widespread. For all giraffes, their present distribution is reduced or restricted due to hunting and poaching. Local tribes kill giraffes for hair, horns, skin and meat. Habitat loss and human encroachment have also reduced available territory for giraffes. To ensure their continued survival, giraffes need suitable, stable, and large areas of habitat for their feeding ranges.
Fortunately, giraffes are easy to breed in captivity. Woodland Park Zoo participates in the Association of Zoos & Aquariums' (AZA) Species Survival Plan (SSP) for giraffes and follows the recommended guidelines for captive management and breeding plans for the species. To date, 11 giraffes have been born at Woodland Park Zoo, but two were stillborn. Most of these young giraffes have gone to other zoos in the USA.
The giraffe is a highly iconographic African savanna species. Their presence on the savanna immeasurably increase eco-tourism, providing income to the local population without harming native animals. For many animals, flexible and sustainable conservation programs are essential. In zoos, giraffes help demonstrate the interdependency of all species. Breeding programs that maintain healthy captive animals are vital for the future of the species. Respect for traditional lifestyle and education support empowers local populations to help save their ecosystem and the giraffes dependent upon it.
Each in-situ project supported by the zoo aims to provide a broad, holistic approach to conservation, encompassing research, education, habitat and species preservation. This includes comprehensive, cooperative strategies to link the needs of animals with the people who share their ecosystems.
Woodland Park Zoo contributes information to the captive breeding, husbandry and public awareness of this intriguing native species. The effort to save animal species requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional, and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. Let your elected representatives know your views on protecting endangered species and wild habitats. Please do not buy products made from wild animal parts.

MARS HILL, N.C.- The Brevard College Tornados loaded the bases in the 8th and 9th innings but couldn't push the tying run across in a 5-4 loss to the Mars Hill Lions in the opener of a three-game South Atlantic Conference series at Henderson Field.
The Tornados made it a one-run game in the 9th when Kody Spencer walked with the bases loaded to force in a run with two outs. Mars Hill lefty Bailey Christie (S, 1) then got Hunter Donaldson to pop out to end the game with the tying run on third.
BC starter Kevin Hamilton (L, 0-2) limited Mars Hill to one run through the first five innings before the Lions tagged the righty for four runs in the bottom of the 6th.
Tommy Scala started the inning with a solo homer before the Lions put together three straight one-out singles. Hamilton fanned Dustin Jones for the second out before a two-run single from Jacob Rand and a wild pitch made it 5-3 in favor of Mars Hill.
The Tornados struck first on Spencer's RBI double in the 2nd and added another run in the 4th when Spencer scored on Donaldson's double to right. Bennett Hixson put BC in front 3-1 with an RBI single in the 6th.
Nick Villalobos (W, 4-1) held BC to two runs in four innings in relief of Mars Hill starter Patrick Riehl, who was pulled after three innings.
The Tornados will complete the series on Saturday afternoon at Henderson Field with a doubleheader beginning at 12 p.m.

Levitus et al. (2012) is now in press...
Figure 2... breaks out the data to show the OHC [ocean heat content] contribution from the 700 to 2000 meter ocean layer.
...The amount of global warming which has gone into the oceans over the past 55 years is quite impressive.
"The global linear trend of OHC2000 is 0.43x1022 J yr-1 for 1955-2010 which corresponds to a total increase in heat content of 24.0±1.9x1022 J"
This is an immense amount of energy being added to the oceans which Levitus et al. put into perspective (emphasis added):
"We have estimated an increase of 24x1022 J representing a volume mean warming of 0.09°C of the 0-2000m layer of the World Ocean. If this heat were instantly transferred to the lower 10 km of the global atmosphere it would result in a volume mean warming of this atmospheric layer by approximately 36°C (65°F)."
Levitus et al. note that, of course, this heat won't be instantly transferred to the atmosphere (fortunately!), and that this comparison is simply intended to illustrate the immense amount of energy being stored by the oceans.
This heating amounts to 136 trillion Joules per second (Watts), which as Glenn Tramblyn noted in a previous post, is the equivalent of more than two Hiroshima "Little Boy" atomic bomb detonations per second, every second over a 55-year period. And Levitus et al. note that this immense ocean heating has not slowed in recent years - more of it has simply gone into the deeper ocean layers.

Sultan: Qabus ibn Sa'id (1970)
Total area: 82,031 sq mi (212,460 sq km)1
Population (2014 est.): 3,219,775 (growth rate: 2.06%); birth rate: 24.47/1000; infant mortality rate: 14/1000; life expectancy: 74.97
Capital (2011 est.): Muscat, 743,000
Monetary unit: Omani rial
Oman is a 1,000-mile-long (1,700 km) coastal plain at the southeast tip of the Arabian Peninsula lying on the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman. It is bordered by the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. The country is the size of Kansas.
Absolute monarchy.
Arabs migrated to Oman from the 9th century BC onward, and conversion to Islam occurred in the 7th century AD Muscat, the capital of the geographical area known as Oman, was occupied by the Portuguese from 1508 to 1648. Then it fell to Ottoman Turks, but in 1741, Ahmad ibn Sa'id forced them out, and the descendants of Sultan Ahmad rule Oman today.
Ahmad expanded his empire to East Africa, and for a time the Omani capital was in Zanzibar. After 1861, however, Zanzibar fell from Omani control.
The sultans and imams of Oman clashed continuously throughout the 20th century until 1959, when the last Ibadi imam was evicted from the country. In a palace coup on July 23, 1970, the sultan, Sa'id bin Taimur, who had ruled since 1932, was overthrown by his son, Qabus ibn Sa'id, who promised to establish a modern government and use newfound oil wealth to aid the people of this very isolated state. Oman joined the Arab League and the United Nations in 1971.
A long border dispute with Yemen was resolved in Oct. 1992; in 1997, the countries agreed to new maps defining the border.
In 1997, Sultan Qabus granted women the right to be elected to the country's consultative body, the Shura Council (Majlis al-Shura). In 2003, the sultan extended voting rights to everyone over 21; previously, voters were selected from among the elite, and only about a quarter of the population was allowed to vote.
Salient Links UK Limited launched the Diplomat Link in October 2011 with an objective to provide a platform to diplomatic community to share and exchange their experiences while working in different cultures and countries.

I need some assistance with getting secondary addressing and firewall rules
playing nice together.
I found in some previous mailing list messages the config lines for adding
secondary addresses to an interface. These are the lines out of the config
I'm working with.
<shellcmd>ifconfig vlan0 alias 172.16.100.1/24</shellcmd>
<shellcmd>ifconfig vlan1 alias 172.16.101.1/24</shellcmd>
<shellcmd>ifconfig vlan2 alias 172.16.102.1/24</shellcmd>
<shellcmd>ifconfig vlan3 alias 172.16.103.1/24</shellcmd>
<shellcmd>ifconfig vlan4 alias 172.16.104.1/24</shellcmd>
<shellcmd>ifconfig vlan5 alias 172.16.105.1/24</shellcmd>
<shellcmd>ifconfig vlan6 alias 172.16.106.1/24</shellcmd>
<shellcmd>ifconfig vlan7 alias 172.16.107.1/24</shellcmd>
<shellcmd>ifconfig vlan8 alias 172.16.108.1/24</shellcmd>
<shellcmd>ifconfig vlan9 alias 172.16.109.1/24</shellcmd>
<shellcmd>ifconfig vlan10 alias 172.16.110.1/24</shellcmd>
The site in question uses m0n0wall at their core simply as a router. We
defined all their subnets (real IPs) to VLAN interfaces and created Any/Any
rules for all interfaces.
The site wanted to have secondary addressing available at each site for
equipment such as printers, WAPs, network electronics, etc.. that did not
need real/valid IPs. I've used secondary addressing in this way at many
locations with Cisco and Allied Telesyn gear without an issue.
I used the config statements above to create the secondary addressing and I
could in fact ping every one of those .1 addresses. So I "assumed"
everything worked fine. Come to find out this is not the case. Even though
there are firewall rules for Any/Any on every single interface the firewall
blocks traffic coming from the secondary ranges.
A client from any VLAN can ping a host (example: 172.16.100.10 on VLAN0)
just fine and get 100% responses. That very client (172.16.100.10) cannot
ping its gateway, nor any other host outside it's own subnet. The firewall
log shows every packet coming from .10 as denied.
What gives? Is there a way to just turn the firewall component off
entirely, rather than simply Any/Any rules everywhere? Why would m0n0wall
block traffic coming from the alias subnets?

luxury hotel in corsica
hotel la signoria in corsica,At 3 km from the sea and 4 km from the city center of Calvi. All offer luxury and amenities of a 5 star hotel in corsica.
"At the gates of Calvi" the old Genoese estate of Paratella once granted by King Louis XV of Mr Murat Serprière, now houses its guests in 29 rooms, Suites and Villas customized. Isolated in this charming 18th century, the rooms open onto the Bonifato Valley and offer a panoramic view of the mountains bordering the coast. A 3 km from the sea and 4 km from the city center of Calvi, in a park of 3 hectares of Mediterranean accents - Eucalyptus, palm, olive and pine trees reminiscent of the beautiful place of eternity - here everything is quiet, calm and voluptuousness .
One area in nature, ten minutes from Calvi, through forests and hills. Corsica and especially a visceral and authentic that appears in the layout, decor and atmosphere created by the owner Jean-Baptiste Ceccaldi. A house to live to learn more about the Corsican soul, nice rooms, which open on the mountains, indigenous materials, wood, terracotta, of great refinement in sobriety, large suites with pool and private garden and a service tailored to the wishes of the residents. New Spa 100% organic cosmetic line associated with a bio-Corsican. Meeting space for this year.
The hotel "La Signoria" also called "A casa Ceccaldi," is undoubtedly one of the finest luxury hotels in Corsica. The former estate of Paratella is the source of this lovely building. Built under the influence of the Genoese island, the estate was then granted Mr Murat the Serprière by Louis XV.
Today, this wonderful home exceptional charm, surrounded by a beautiful park, well deserves its fame. Fascinating in its beauty, we could stay for hours to watch. Stroll through this garden of 3 hectares, while savoring the smell of the maquis and orange trees, singing fountains, will be a real fun time! It is in this extraordinary setting that welcomes guests to the Signoria.
The Signoria has 29 Rooms and Suites customized, single-storey opening onto the gardens and terraces, with magnificent views of the mountains and the valley Bonifato. All offer luxury and amenities of a 5 star hotel. Here, the union of different styles from several periods, with an exotic note, is a success and elegance is still present. The Signoria also has 5 luxury villas, all stone, with private pool and garden.

Families of September 11 is now operating as the For Action Initiative. The web pages on this site are available for informational purposes only. Please visit us at www.foractioninitiative.org.
As the end of the investigative phase draws near for the 9/11 Independent Commission, we find our previous mission, to give a full and accurate account of all that lead up to and happened on that fateful day, to have changed. Throughout these informative, though often painful hearings, we have learned a great deal and trust the Commission will make substantive recommendations based on its findings. The mission going forward will be to encourage our elected officials to act on these recommendations, scheduled to be released at the end of July.
Families of September 11 is planning a meeting in New York on Saturday August 21st to discuss the recommendations and will also give members an opportunity to participate in on-line discussions or post thoughts. Please watch for action alerts and web updates to get details about the meeting and to find other ways that members might be able to participate going forward.
Issues Update
9-11 Commission Update – Final Hearing of the Commission, Washington DC
The more publicized news of the hearings came on the second day. As many of you know, attendees were given no warning that the timeline of the day's attacks would include use of audio transmissions mistakenly made by the terrorists to the FAA from AA11 and UA93. We have spoken to the Commission to ask them again to provide warnings to the families when graphic material is used, as they so graciously did during the hearings last month in New York.
The hearings underscored the lack of coordination and preparation of the FAA and the US military, specifically NORAD. In particular, the more significant evidence presented showed:
*the order to shoot down hijacked aircraft did not come from VP Cheney until all four planes had crashed (he also mistaken believed multiple planes had in fact been shot down)
*AA77 was lost from radar for many minutes (as such, there was no preparation for the Pentagon to be aware before it was hit)
*the FAA never alerted all airplanes nation-wide (as suggested by the Boston FAA center close to 20 minutes before UA93 was hijacked) to harden cockpit doors and did not disclose to them that there had been 3 other hijackings
Lastly, the Commission's interim staff report says there is no demonstrable collaboration between al Qaeda and Iraq in the planning and execution of the September 11 attacks. Because the White House has maintained that the terrorist organization and Saddam Hussein did, in fact have a connection, Families of September 11 implores the Administration to share any relevant information with the Commission as soon as possible. The Commission is legally mandated to end on July 26, 2004, and our organization will evaluate and advocate for the recommendations provided in the final report.

The Cosmonaut Survival Kit, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- Have booksellers discovered Shakespeare's annotated dictionary?
- Laura Ingalls Wilder collaborated with her daughter on many books in the Little House on the Prairie series, and it wasn't always a cooperative arrangement. A letter from 1938 suggests the scope of their creative frictions: "Here you have a young girl," Wilder's daughter wrote to her about one character, "a girl twelve years old, who's led a rather isolated life with father, mother, sisters in the country, and you can not have her suddenly acting like a slum child who has protected her virginity from street gangs since she was seven or eight."
- What was in your average Soviet cosmonaut's survival kit circa 1968? Among other specialties: three balaclavas, a tripartite rifle/shotgun/flare-gun, and a pistol intended to frighten "wolves, bears, tigers, etc." in the event of a crash landing.
- A new app called Cloak helps you "avoid exes, co-workers, that guy who likes to stop and chat—anyone you'd rather not run into." Which makes life a bit more miserable, it turns out: "'All Clear: There's nobody nearby' reads like such a strange, sad message, such a lonely thing to have achieved through technological control of our social environments. Looking at that screen makes me want to place my phone face down on my desk, go out into the street, and walk around until I bump into someone I know."
- Christian Montenegro, an Argentinean illustrator, makes arresting drawings that look like eclectic contemporary woodcuts.

F-ing around on the Web
Registration is now open for SCALE 9X — register now by clicking on the winking penguin.
Now that I have your attention . . . .
Several months ago, there was a discussion in Fedora circles about the similarity between the Fedora Project logo — a very smart one that signifies a lot of different things (as outlined below) — and the Facebook "F" that is encapsulated in a rounded-off square.
This discussion started when someone related a story where a person approached the storyteller and mistook a Fedora button on a backpack for a Facebook button. I thought it was fairly innocuous at the time — yeah, they're both F's, but still, you have to be kind of — oh, I don't know — lacking some basic observational skills to confuse the two.
Of course, when it happens to you, then the issue becomes a tad more clear.
Earlier in the week, I had coffee in beautiful downtown Felton at The White Raven — home of Larry's Famous Chai (the Larry in question is not me; though as an aside, Felton could be a town that holds the distinction of having the most people named Larry, per capita, in the nation. But I digress . . . ). A woman sitting at the next table looked over at me — well, more specifically, looked over at my ThinkPad T30, which sports a Fedora F sticker next to the touchpad — and asked, "Excuse me, where did you get that Facebook sticker?
Frankly, I live for segues like this, as it gives me a chance to talk about Free/Open Source Software and Linux, upon which Facebook is based, no doubt. I explained that it was not a "Facebook" sticker, but that of the Fedora Project, and launched into a coffee conversation about Fedora, Linux and an invitation to join the Felton Linux Users Group, which conveniently was meeting that Saturday.
Herein lies the confusion.
This is the Fedora logo. The Fedora logo provides by design three distinct and important elements that are basic tenets to the FOSS paradigm: Voice, which is the blue background "bubble" reminiscent of voice bubbles in comic strips and the like; the "F" for freedom (or Fedora); and last, but certainly not least, the "F" for Freedom/Fedora is part of the symbol for infinity, albeit upright as opposed to horizontal. When you look at this, it conveys a lot of different — all positive — messages. I would suspect that the Fedora Project's Design Team gets tired of me singing the seven-minute album version of their praises, but of all distros in this solar system, if not the entire galaxy, the Fedora Project's artists are the best, period. Also, there's a wiki page on the history of the Fedora logo which outlines its origins — it's definitely worth a read.
[Editor's note: Paul Frields, former Fedora Project Leader, points out in the comments below an earlier version of the logo that appeared here was not the right one. This one above comes directly from the Fedora Project's logo wiki rather than from my ancient library. Thanks, Paul.]
On the other hand . . .
On the other hand, this is the Facebook F, which as you can see is a stylized F on a blue square with rounded corners, tastefully and tactfully shadowed and reflected to provide an almost 3-D look. It's clean and attractive — very attractive in fact — and I'm sure that the folks at Facebook may have paid a handsome sum for the design of this logo. But when you put the two together to compare and contrast, you can tell that there is a huge difference between them, with the letter "F" and the color blue being where the similarities end.
Though its roots go further back, the Fedora Project was initiated in the fall of 2003. Mark Zuckerberg was still in his dorm at Harvard kicking off Facebook on campus a year after that. I bring this up because I have been unable to ascertain which logo came first, but I am fairly certain the Fedora logo came first. If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd be grateful.
Now, is the fact that the two logos are sometimes confused at a fleeting glance a problem for folks at Fedora? Some in the aforementioned discussion at the outset of this blog thought so, to the point where they opined that perhaps Fedora should change its logo. On the contrary: It's a great opportunity opening a door for people who are asked about the "Facebook" sticker/button to talk about Linux, FOSS and Fedora.

Interesting side point of logo confusion… the Fedora logo above is actually not the correct logo either. The proportions of both the "f" and the bubble shape are incorrect. The logo shown above was some individual's attempt to recreate the official logo, either by hand or in some other way, and you can still find it online in some places. (Like a bad penny, it keeps turning up.) 🙂 In some ways that's a more insidious kind of confusion!
January 10, 2011 at 3:07 pm
How disgusting. The confusion seems rampant due to everyone now equating a white f on blue background with Facebook. I like how you deal with this but I think the confusion is deliberate due to Microsoft involvement and Microsoft's long history of hijacking terminology, symbols and logos to create confusion and obliterate "competitors". An obvious recent example is OOXML, "Open Office XML", a term designed to confuse people interested in what "Open Office" might be.
Like you, I'm certain that the Fedora logo was first, but there's not proper history on the web. The first Facebook logos used a white, lower case word on a blue background. I first saw these in 2005 or so when invited to join by a fellow grad student. The site's snobby start is a clue. It was not until 2006 that the site was open to everyone anyone over 13. . Microsoft injected their money and direction into Facebook in late 2007. It was not until last year or so that they rolled out spy on everyone buttons that pushed out links to sites like Slashdot. It is likely that these new buttons came long after the site's initial exclusive start and had not been designed by people who wanted to call the site "thefacebook" when they started it. A Google image search for "facebook logo" pulls up all sorts of little f, facebook logos. Facebook blocks archive.org, so the closest think I could find to a proper history of the logo. This post 2005 history does not mention it. As you pointed out, the Fedora logo has been around longer than "thefacebook" itself.
Perhaps an actual Facebook person might tell us, but I would not hold my breath. Expect BS and abuse when the point is to confuse. Thanks for writing this up. As a Debian user, the little f caused me some cognitive dissonance but I did not know why.

Canarias7, daily published in Las Palmas, the capital of Canary Islands, published a column about Mr. Adnan Oktar with the title "A Creationist Challenges Darwinism with Million Dollar Prize" on September 29th, 2008.
A Turkish creationist with the name Adnan Oktar initiated a duel against Darwinism, by offering 10 trillion Turkish liras to the scientist who can bring a single fossil that proves the evolutionary process.
According to the English newspaper The Independent, 52 year old Oktar, aka Harun Yahya, is a person who loudly criticizes the "Darwinist dictatorship" and is very popular in Turkey. He asserts that there is no single fossil record that supports the theory of Charles Darwin with scientific evidence.
Oktar has gained an incredible reputation after the 800-page Atlas of Creation, in which he explained that living forms have not changed for millions of years.
The Turk answers the criticisms of Richard Dawkins, the English biologist and an atheist, as "he cannot present any fossil that proves Darwinism."

Brown Signs Bill Protecting Reporters' Phone Logs
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a bill requiring state officials to give journalists five days' notice before they issue subpoenas for telephone records.
Brown signed SB558 on Thursday that was drafted by Democratic state Sen. Ted Lieu of Torrance. The legislation was introduced after it was disclosed that the U.S. Department of Justice had retrieved telephone logs of Associated Press journalists.
California has a strong shield law for journalists, which already requires that law enforcement agencies give five days' notice to news organizations for subpoenas served on the newsgathering organization or the reporter.
But Lieu says the Justice Department probe shows that investigators can bypass that law by secretly subpoenaing telephone or Internet companies.

WATCH: House Stenographer Dragged Out After Outburst
(NEWSER) – Picture all the people present in the House chamber last night, and select the one most likely to lose it. Didn't pick "the House stenographer"? Yeah, neither did we, but that is apparently what happened during last night's debt ceiling/shutdown vote. Politico reports that a woman named as Dianne Reidy grabbed the microphone on the dais just below where the House presiding officer sits and began ranting about God and the Freemasons. Though the video of the outburst doesn't contain the audio, you can hear it here. The bulk of what she was saying:
- "He will not be mocked. He will not be mocked. Don't touch me. He will not be mocked. The greatest deception here is this is not 'one nation under God.' It never was. Had it been ... The Constitution would not have been written by Freemasons. They go against God. ... You cannot serve two masters. You cannot serve two masters. Praise be to God. Lord Jesus Christ."

Internship Program Design Tips
Step by Step Tips for Employers
2. Writing a Good Job Description
3. Writing Learning Objectives
4. Increasing Your Presence in the GU Community
5. Interviewing a College Student
6. Making Your Internship Meaningful
7. Giving feedback to a College Intern
1. Navigating ZagTrax:
As a service to both our students and their potential employers we use an online recruiting and job posting system called ZagTrax powered by NACElink/Symplicity. Utilizing ZagTrax is a free service to employer partners and can streamline your recruiting efforts.
- For complete instructions on how to create a profile and post an internship on ZagTrax, click here.
To find the most Qualified Candidates it helps to:
o Make a specific selection of which majors you are recruiting. Some students set up an alert for internships only posted in their major. Note: If you select ALL MAJORS some students will not see the posting because it is too general.
o Remember to give a title to the job, even when it is an internship
o Be complete when listing the Qualifications you require.
o Provide a thorough Job Description. If possible, include a sample of the learning objectives.
Things to know when posting in ZagTrax:
o There are a few options for receiving resumes from the ZagTrax posting.:
§ E-mail: This is an excellent option if you have an opening that needs to be filled immediately. Resumes will be directed to the e-mail associated to the opening.
§ Accumulate Online: Allows for the resumes to be accumulate in a packet form which will be sent directly to the person of contact once the post is closed.
o Additional Requested Documents: Here you can request applicants to include a cover letter, unofficial transcript, writing sample or other required documents.
2. Writing a Good Job Description:
- Identify the need within your company. Ask, "Is this something an intern could accomplish?" Be sure the design for the internship is actually within reach of the student.
- Make a plan before you begin. Determine the specific tasks and role the intern will have. If possible, collaborate with others in your company to generate the best vision for how this will work.
- Be specific. Outline the tasks and roles and expectations with enough description that it is clear to the intern what will be expected. Avoid generalities.
- Be project centered when possible. Interns understand that part of their work is "basic routine." But most students are anxious to accomplish a task from beginning to end that represents the industry. Try to build this into the internship, AND the job description.
- Communicate the essentials. Be forthcoming about location, time frame, compensation, work hours, supervision.
- Identify details. Offer open disclose of duration, compensation and relevant perimeters.
3. How to Write Learning Objectives:
- Make a brief list of what you consider important for your intern to learn while in your workplace. Identify what "enduring understanding" will be helpful to the intern upon completion. Ask, "What will the intern need to do or learn in order to gain this? What do you hope the intern will be able to do or understand at the end of training?"
- Use the formula, SWiBAT + Outcome
"Upon completion of the their internship, Students Will Be Able To______(state outcome)
- Select several (3 to 5) specific learning objectives that have the capacity for learning success.
4. How to Increase Your Presence in the Gonzaga Community:
Once your internship is posted on ZagTrax.net, there are few methods you can utilize to promote your opportunity to Gonzaga students:
- Be sure to include dynamic descriptions of the internship and how a student will benefit.
- Send marketing materials (either digitally or hard copy) to the Gonzaga Career Center. It can be posted in high traffic areas on campus or sent to departments to alert students.
- Participate in Student Mock Interviews, held in the evenings once each semester.
- Participate as an excursion host in one of Gonzaga's Treks held in multiple cities during the school year
- Participate in a hosted training seminar or workshop with other employers. Check with Career Center for time and place.
- Contact the Recruitment Specialist in the Career Center & GAMP office to schedule Information Sessions, interviews, and participate in a Career Fair or related event. For more information, contact: Karen Franks-Harding, Recruitment Specialist: email@example.com or 509.313.4085.
5. How to Interview a College Student:
Interviewing students for an internship can be different than a full time job. Since an intern is only a short term employee and a part of your work place for the specific experience of learning about it, your interview questions will be geared toward the goals and objectives of the intern as well as the qualifications necessary to do the work. College students are eager, focused and often trained in newer technology. They are also anxious to test out their growing knowledge in an applied way.
As you begin the process consider the following:
- Begin with an engaging conversation. College students are relational, and are pleased to discover your interest. They are often eager to be connected. You will learn much of what you need to know about the potential for success with this initial exchange.
- Inquire about their education and training. Interning college students are serious about learning. Most are ready to apply their learning in the real work place. In many cases you will be delighted to hear the creativity and passion they bring.
- Inquire about their goals and objectives. There is usually a specific reason college students have applied to a particular internship. Investigating what their goals are will help articulate the kind of training that will take place. It will also identify whether this is the "right fit."
- Be comfortable communicating expectations. The more specific you are about what you expect the greater potential for success. College students are accustomed to well outlined course syllabuses and deadlines. They love a challenge, and are ready to take on a project that has a concrete outcome.
6. Tips on Making Your Internship Meaningful for Employer and Student:
- A meaningful internship begins when an employer and intern have an open conversation identifying goals, objectives and expectations. The student will seek specific learning, guidance and constructive feedback. The employer will seek skills applied, assistance, and effort in performance.
- Ongoing and two-way communication builds trust and increases success.
- Including specific and meaningful tasks or projects as a part of the learning creates motivation.
- Opportunity for growth in professional relationships trains interpersonal skills and creates meaning.
- Framing feedback in the most constructive ways encourages growth and loyalty.
- Verbal and written assessments with an evaluation at the conclusion.
7. Giving feedback to a College Intern:
College students are serious about learning. In its Best Practice, an internship will train and educate a student in a chosen field. Clearly outlined tasks and expectations sets the stage for valuable feedback. As a professional, a student is interested in your assessment. Offering consistent, insightful and encouraging feedback increases their learning and shapes productivity.
- Use specifics. Anchor your comments directly to the work they are doing.
- Set reasonable expectations. They are there as novices, there to learn.
- Honest and timely feedback is most helpful. This encourages trust and good performance. Staying current with assessment guides outcomes for both student and employer.
- Create relationship when possible. Students are interning to learn about the work, but also about the people within the work! They want to interact and build professional relationships. Seize the opportunity to model a Best Practice for this!
- Conduct written as well as verbal evaluations. This gives a record to students.

Did Selena Gomez Hint At A Reconciliation With Justin Bieber?
Listen to Selena Gomez Radio on iHeartRadio | Listen to Justin Bieber Radio on iHeartRadio
Selena Gomez's Instagram followers are trying to connect the dots after a series of cryptic posts. Late Monday night, the singer and actress posted a video of herself playing a tune on the piano, which she captioned "I don't know. I'm on my way, you know."
She then shared an upside-down screen-shot of her fans' comments on the video, saying "You're always listened to. And usually always right."
The posts end with another screen-shot of a text message. The unknown sender - who fans suspect is her on-and-off again boyfriend Justin Bieber - writes to her, "I just wanna give you a hug and remind you how special you are." Selena told her followers, "That's who you wanna wake up to. #promise."

INTERVIEW: John Dahlback at TomorrowWorld
Listen to John Dahlback on iHeartRadio
John Dahlback has been a big part of the dance music industry for many years. His radio show "Mutants Radio" is broadcasted every week on Evolution, and as a label head, producer, and DJ, he's had a busy career.
We caught up with John before his set at TomorrowWorld where he talked about his new single "If We Were Gods," what superpower he would want, and more. Check it out below:
You are playing the Super You & Me stage at TomorrowWorld, right? And are you excited? What's your costume?
I am. I'm nervous. This is the first time I'm playing in a costume. I don't know if it's boring, but I brought a suit which is in the Swedish flag. I thought I will be representing Sweden tonight.
If you were a real superhero, what would be your super power?
To fly.
You just released "We were Gods." Tell us about that track?
Yes, [it's] like electro but still it's kind of in the vibe to it, so I'm really about about it. I've been hearing for so long now. I'm very happy that it's out, so finally.
If you were the God of something, what would you be the god of?
Airplanes! So I can get around easier.
[Buy "If We Were Gods" on iTunes]
You also recently released "Mutants presented by John Dahlback." What was it like putting that together? Was it difficult to choose tracks for it?
It was cool like it was basically all the most recent releases we had on the label. I always wanna bring out like new guys. There [are] so many talented guys that don't get more credit, and I just wanna make sure they're being recognized.
Your show airs every Sunday on Evolution and it's called "Mutants Radio." Where did you get the name "Mutants" from?
Well, it's a track title, and then we thought that's a cool thing to build on, so that's what we did. But I mean, it's weird, I haven't seen like X-Men or anything like that, but it's just a good name.
[Listen to Mutants Radio on Evolution every Sunday at 9 p.m. ET]
What's next? What are you working on?
We decided on our next singles, so until March, it's pretty packed with, with the songs. It's good. It's sort of [a] surprise. There's still stuff I'm working on so I don't wanna mislead.
Are you touring?
Yeah, all the time. I was based in L.A. for the Summer, but I think I was only in the house for couple of days and then I was doing Asia, and South America, and Mexico, and Europe, and everywhere except for in L.A. So it's weird. So yeah, I'm touring a lot.

The female eagle, named Sequoia, had been tree-sitting over the weekend in the Suburban Park area of Menlo Park and in North Fair Oaks neighborhood, having flown away during an outing at Byxbee Park at the eastern end of Embarcadero Road in Palo Alto.
About every three years or so, Sequoia goes on an unexpected three-day excursion, said Aikin, executive director of the Junior Museum and Zoo. But because she vacations without the benefit of her handlers being there, food and water become hard to find.
With the aid of a tracking device, the staff knew where Sequoia was and had to wait until she was ready to return.
What persuaded Sequoia to finally come down from her perch Monday were hunger and thirst, some prompting by a handler using hand gestures and a whistle, and the tossing of a dead quail in such a way that she could see it, Aikin said.
Sequoia, "ate a quail and a mouse and looked at us like we were all to blame," he said, referring to an eagle's practice of making its feathers stand out to show that it's irritated. But her irritation quickly faded.
"She just sat calmly on the (gloved) fist and was happy to be back," Aikin said.
When they returned her to her enclosure in Palo Alto, "she jumped right down into her bathtub and drank heartily," Aikin said.
Sequoia, who was not raised in the wild, cannot feed herself. Her hunting skills are also hampered by damaged tail feathers, the result of a gunshot wound when she was young.
"I've never known her to kill anything," Aikin said.
The soon-to-be 25-year-old eagle has been cared for at the Palo Alto zoo for the past six months. Before that, she lived at the San Francisco Zoo, where she had been since she was 6 months old. Aikin tended to her there as well, he said.
Technically, Sequoia is the property of the U.S. government, as are all bald eagles.
With a wingspan of about 7 feet, she is capable of extended flight — she once flew to Ano Nuevo State Park in Pescadero from San Francisco. These days, she is released on weekend days at around 2 p.m. and on weekdays at 4 p.m. Her schedule can be found on Facebook and the zoo's website, Aikin said.
Bald eagles are flighty and high-strung, and something as innocent as a colorful piece of clothing can be alienating.
While there is inherent risk in letting her loose, the burden is worth the cost, Aikin said.
"She likes it, we like it, and we think it's a great way to see a bald eagle," he said. "It's so spectacular to see her fly."

ByLauren Weber
A good hiring process is a give-and-take of information: Candidates explain why they're right for a job, while HR managers and hiring managers detail job duties and give a sense of the organization's culture.
Sounds pretty simple, right?
Not quite. Only 51 percent of new hires reported feeling very confident they'd made the right decision when they accepted a new job, according to a report out Tuesday from Development Dimensions International, Inc., which provides personality tests and other assessment tools for companies.
New hires' main complaint? Unrealistic, inaccurate pictures of the new job during the hiring process.
DDI asked 2,300 recently-hired workers what they wish they'd known about their job before signing on the dotted line. Here are some of the responses:
- Turnover rate for the position;
- True travel requirements;
- Actual hours;
- The actual state of corporate finances;
- Said one: "I would have liked to have seen an official job description."
- More information about team structure and dynamics.
When managers and human-resources staff fail at this task, the costs can be high: new hires who said they didn't understand requirements or goals going into a new job, tended to be actively looking for another position, and said they were not engaged with their employer. By contrast, those satisfied with the information they received before joining a new company reported extremely high engagement, with 78% saying they had no plans to jump ship.
In addition to not providing adequate information, hiring managers are flubbing interviews by asking bizarre, inappropriate or just plain illegal questions. This shouldn't be too surprising to readers of this Journal story last week about the many ways that managers are falling short during this crucial part of the hiring process.
When asked "What is the strangest question you have ever been asked in an interview?" respondents shared some very odd moments:
- "Are you currently looking for a husband?"
- "Do you believe there is life in outer space?"
- "Are you black?"
- "Do you believe in ghosts?"
- "Can you set up your own VCR?"
- "Can you count to 50?"
- "A math question about how many fleas a dog had"
- "Just entertain me for five minutes, I'm not going to talk."
- "Are you a Muslim?"
- "Can you sell anything? Sell this pencil to me…"
"A lot of times, hiring managers aren't trained, or if they are, they don't pay attention to the training," said Scott Erker, senior vice president of selection systems at DDI and an author of the report, entitled "Know More. Guess Less."
"People advance to management jobs because they have good judgment," he added. "But hiring is a high-stakes interaction and managers are not necessarily capable of discerning what a candidate can really bring to a company. So they base it on gut instinct and a lot of times that gut instinct is wrong."
How to correct some of these problems? Managers need to carefully define what they're looking for in a new hire and put real thought into how best to determine whether a candidate has those qualities.
Readers, what do you wish you'd known about your current job? If you knew then what you know now, would you have still accepted the offer?

Green anoles are fairly hardy reptiles, but a responsible owner will take the time to learn about different aspects of this lizard's health and ailments he may be prone to. That way, if a health crisis arises, you will be ready to provide your pet with the best care possible.
While many health issues can be taken care of at home, it is a good idea to find a veterinarian that specialized in reptiles, in case of emergency. In fact, it is best to find a vet as soon as possible (preferably before you even bring your new pet home for the first time) so you won't have to waste any precious time when an emergency arises. Locating a vet that specializes in reptiles can be challenging. If you're having trouble, check with local pet stores, animal shelters, or herpetological societies, and they may be able to help. You can also visit www.arav.org, the site for the Association of Reptilian and Amphibian Veterinarians.
Injuries are common for reptiles, probably more so than disease. Burns from a heating lamp or ceramic heater are one of the most common injuries. While some burns are minor and cause only discoloration or blistering of the skin and scales, and other burns can produce open, bleeding wounds, all burns should be seen by a vet. They must be treated for both external and internal (muscular damage) wounds and infections. Most reptile burn victims will require antibiotic injections and topical salves for a complete recovery. The best way to avoid burns is to make sure your green anole does not have direct access to a heating source.
Green anoles can also be affected by parasites, both internal and external. Symptoms of internal parasites include loss of appetite, bloating, vomiting, sudden weight loss, sluggish movements, and constipation. Internal parasites should be treated by a veterinarian, who will generally prescribe a regimen of oral or injected medication.
Mites are external parasites that often afflict anoles. They are tiny (a few millimeters in diameter) and difficult to spot. Mites will attach themselves to your green anole, bore through his skin, and suck his blood. If many mites are present, they can work together and quickly drain a significant amount of blood, causing a lack of appetite in your pet and a weakening of his immune system. Because of the severity of the consequences of mites, if you think your pet is infected you will need to act quickly.
There are three ways to rid your reptile of mites. First, try thoroughly bathing him, paying particular attention to the eyes, nostrils, and skin folds, and housing him in a separate terrarium while you clean his home. When cleaning the terrarium, dispose of the substrate, any live plants, and other furnishings that are able to be thrown away. Any items that are kept should be wrapped in aluminum foil and placed in the oven at 275°F for two to three hours. Next, soak the terrarium in a bleach solution, letting it soak for 18 to 24 hours. Then, thoroughly rinse it and air it out.
Another method green anole owners use to rid their pet of mites is to dip him in cooking oil (vegetable, olive, etc.). Dip him quickly, making sure his whole body is covered. Soak up any oil that remain on him, using a towel. Then, place him in a separate terrarium and clean the tank as detailed above.
One final option is to take your pet to the veterinarian. She will prescribe a mite killer that will usually need to be sprayed on both the lizard and his terrarium. This treatment should soon eradicate all mites from your pet and his home.
Metabolic Bone Disease
Metabolic bone disease is caused by inadequate exposure to ultraviolet light. This ailment is painful and eventually debilitating for the lizard. Symptoms include soft jaws that are bent outward, difficulty walking, limbs that are crooked or bent, swollen thighs that are hard to the touch, and trembling or convulsing. This disease is easily prevented by allowing your green anole to soak up enough ultraviolet rays so he can efficiently metabolize calcium and synthesize vitamin D3, which will keep his bones and teeth strong and healthy.

And Goldman's fingerprints were all over the recent spate of government bailouts.
Goldman Sachs has traditionally been the highest-paying investment bank on Wall Street.
At that time, Lazard, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley dominated the mergers and acquisitions business.
Indeed, besides Blankfein, not a single person currently working at Goldman agreed to speak for this story.
I have a great relationship (with Nguyen, a 40-year-old former Goldman Sachs banker, who he has been with for seven years).
Goldman exclaimed, rocking to and fro in his chair and striking his head with his clenched fist.
An' after John Crow introduce himself to the gal that his name is Mr. Goldman.
An' when the mumma come the gal introduce him to Mr. Goldman, an' tell him that his dear love just come now.
An' the dance so sweet Mr. Goldman he wouldn' stop to listen.
"Troubles enough he got it, Mawruss," Abe said, as he watched Goldman's evolutions of woe.

I'm trying to install BT4 for dual boot (WinXP now installed in one partition) on a Thinkpad R31 laptop. Since this doesnt have a DVD and is unable to boot from USB sticks, the only option is to do a network boot (?) in order to install BT4.
Anyways, I have setup for a network boot, using Tftpd32 and haneWIN NFS Server on my other computer (WinXP). While the process is slower than hell I've managed to get the laptop to boot the BT promt, where I then type "startx" to get the GUI. To this point it works fine.
I then click on the install.sh on the desktop (I've tried running cmd "ubiquity" too). The installation window appears and I see the text that says I should select the language to use for the installation. Only the Quit button is active and the list-area to the left is blank.
Then it stops, after a minute or two the screen goes black with only the pointer showing (unable to move it). I've left it for something like an hour or two but it seems to have crashed.
I'll try to give you some details, let me know if you need anything else:
IBM Thinkpad R31
PXE server: Tftpd32 3.23
NFS server: haneWIN 1.1.70
tried with mounting BT4 in NFS both from a dir (unpacked the iso) and through Daemon Tools
Tftpd Boot File: pxelinux.0
tftpboot/pxelinux.config/default :
DEFAULT bt4
DISPLAY /isolinux.msg
LABEL bt4
KERNEL bt4/boot/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=bt4/boot/initrd.gz BOOT=casper boot=casper nopersistent rw quiet vga=0x317 netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.101:/bt4
