Career Planning for H&S Majors
Many career possibilities are open to H&S majors, especially to students who choose to explore and develop their own combination of interests and skills. Departmental advisers can help students individualize a four-year course of study in a major by supplementing required courses with other recommended courses to provide general background or specific skills for a chosen career. The advisers also have information on preprofessional experience, interdisciplinary majors, educational requirements, graduate school, and graduate school testing, or can assist in obtaining such information. Students are urged to contact these advisers and to discuss occupation-related matters with their instructors. Since there are many possible options for students in all majors, students are strongly encouraged to talk with counselors in the Office of Career Services in the Gannett Center.
Exploratory Program -- Students who wish to investigate a variety of academic disciplines before selecting a major may enter Ithaca College through the Exploratory Program in the School of Humanities and Sciences. Exploratory students are assigned experienced academic advisers who help them choose courses from the liberal arts and preprofessional curricula at the College. After one semester in the program, students are free to enter a major in H&S or apply for transfer to another school of the College. They may also remain in the Exploratory Program through the end of the sophomore year -- that is, until they have earned 60 credits -- at which time they are required to declare a major. Exploratory students are subject to the same academic regulations as all H&S students and are encouraged to take advantage of all the College resources open to the general student population.
Premedical Sciences Program -- Students who wish to prepare for any of the medical science professions -- dentistry, medicine, optometry, osteopathy, podiatry, veterinary medicine -- may do so at Ithaca College in a variety of ways. No specific major is required to prepare for these professions (biology, chemistry, psychology, English, philosophy, and exercise science are some examples of good preparatory majors), but students must complete a minimum of one year each of biology, general or inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and English. Calculus is highly recommended.
Courses recommended but not required by the professional schools vary, but include advanced courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. All such coursework is available at Ithaca College. Students interested in any of the medical sciences should contact the chairperson of the Premedical Sciences Advisory Committee, Jean Hardwick, 168 Center for Natural Sciences, during their freshman year. This will ensure that their academic programs are planned to meet all requirements for professional school by the end of their junior year and in time for the professional schools' admissions tests.
Optometry 3-1 Program -- This joint program with the Pennsylvania College of Optometry and the State University of New York College of Optometry enables students in certain disciplines to receive both a bachelor's degree from Ithaca College and a doctor of optometry degree in seven years rather than eight. Students must complete 90 credits of college and departmental requirements in a major at Ithaca College, as well as satisfy the requirements specified for admission to the optometry college. After successfully completing the first year at the optometry college, students receive the bachelor's degree from Ithaca College. After completing the remaining three years at the optometry college the student is awarded the doctor of optometry degree.
The majors in biology, psychology, and chemistry require some courses that are entrance requirements for optometry college. However, no specific major is required, as long as the optometry entrance requirements can be incorporated into the major.
This academic program must be planned carefully. Students interested in the program should contact the chair of the Premedical Sciences Advisory Committee, Jean Hardwick, 168 Center for Natural Sciences, upon matriculation at Ithaca College. A standard 4-4 program is also available.
Prelaw Advisory Program -- Students may prepare for the study of law by completing any of the regular majors in the School of Humanities and Sciences. Law schools do not stipulate any specific prelaw courses of study. Students planning to study law should discuss this goal with their adviser and develop a program that emphasizes those skills and insights that the Association of American Law Schools has stated are needed for the study of law: (1) comprehension and expression with words; (2) critical understanding of the human institutions and values with which the law deals; and (3) creative power in thinking.
Specific information on law schools and law careers is available from the Office of Career Services. For additional assistance, contact the prelaw adviser, Jonathan Laskowitz, 327 Muller Faculty Center.
Teacher Education Programs -- We offer programs leading to initial certification at the middle/secondary levels in the following areas: art (K-12), biology, chemistry, physics, English, math, math-computer science, French, Spanish, German, and social studies. Within each of the programs leading to initial certification, there is a core unit of coursework that all teaching option candidates must complete in addition to the coursework required in their major. Please consult individual department listings or the teacher education program listing for specific information.
Academic Support Services
Advising -- Academic advising is an important aspect of a student's educational experience. All students are assigned an academic adviser; students with declared majors are assigned an adviser within their major department. Advisers of exploratory students help their advisees identify their interests and select an appropriate major. Students can expect their advisers to provide information about majors, minors, general education requirements, graduation requirements, and other academic policies and procedures. To obtain the full benefit of the advising experience, students are encouraged to meet with their advisers, not only to discuss midterm grades and course selection, but also to seek assistance with the full range of academic decisions they make during their college years.
The academic advising office coordinates all advising assignments within the School of Humanities and Sciences. This office is a resource center for students and faculty, with staff available to meet with students on a drop-in or appointment basis.
Writing Center -- Located in 228 Park Hall and directed by the writing department, the center offers individual and small group tutorials on a referred or self-selected basis to students needing assistance. Help is available with any aspect of the writing process, reading comprehension, or study skills. See below for writing department courses.
Special Programs
Forensics Program -- The program provides an opportunity for all students in all disciplines to participate in speaking events held on campus, at intercollegiate events, and in the community at large. Events include competitive debate, noncompetitive oral interpretation, and readers theater. The forensics program is supported through the Department of Speech Communication. For more information, contact Scott Thomson, director of forensics, in the Department of Speech Communication located in Muller Faculty Center.
Independent Studies/Fieldwork and Research -- Students meeting minimum academic standards (see "Academic Status") or those only on warning for deficiency of credits may undertake academic independent study projects for either major or elective credit. Normally, students should have completed appropriate coursework in preparation for independent study. For each project undertaken, students must work with a faculty sponsor to prepare the required design statement and application form (available from departments or from the dean's office) for approval by the sponsoring department, the student's adviser, and the dean. All projects should be approved in advance of the semester undertaken or no later than the end of the second week of that semester.
Internships -- Qualified students meeting the minimum academic standards (see "Academic Status") may undertake internship projects for either major or elective credit if these work-and-study projects have an academic component appropriate to the curriculum of the school. Normally, a student in H&S should have completed three-fourths of his or her major or an appropriate minor in order to qualify for internship credit. Students must work with a faculty sponsor to prepare the required design statement and application form (available in the office of the dean) for approval by the sponsoring department, the student's adviser, the field supervisor at the worksite, and the dean. All projects must be approved in advance of the semester they are undertaken or no later than the second week of that semester. No more than 12 credits in any combination of internship projects will be counted toward the 120-credit minimum required for graduation.
Individual and Interdisciplinary Studies Programs -- For the student who would like to design a major that crosses disciplinary fields, the planned studies major may be of interest. Students may also wish to perform independent fieldwork through the community service program. For a full description of these offerings, see Individual and Interdisciplinary Studies Programs.

13.3 General Query Enhancement
The way you write a query often affects how well indexes are used. Use the following principles to make your queries more efficient:
Don't refer to an indexed column within an expression that must be evaluated for every row in the table. Doing so prevents use of the index. Instead, isolate the column onto one side of a comparison when possible. For example, one way to select rows containing date values from the year 1994 and up is as follows:
SELECT * FROM t WHERE YEAR(d) >= 1994;
In this case, the value of YEAR(d) must be evaluated for every row in the table, so the index cannot be used. Instead, write the query like this:
SELECT * FROM t WHERE d >= '1994-01-01';
In the rewritten expression, the indexed column stands by itself on one side of the comparison and MySQL can apply the index to optimize the query.
In situations like this, EXPLAIN is useful for verifying that one way of writing a query is better than another. For the two date-selection queries just shown, for example, you might find that EXPLAIN tells you something like this:
mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM t WHERE YEAR(d)
>= 1994G *********************** 1. row *************************** table: t type: ALL possible_keys: NULL key: NULL key_len: NULL ref: NULL rows: 867038 Extra: Using where mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM t WHERE d >=
'1994-01-01'G *********************** 1. row *************************** table: t type: range possible_keys: d key: d key_len: 4 ref: NULL rows: 70968 Extra: Using where
These results indicate that the second query is indeed better from the optimizer's point of view. MySQL can perform a range scan using the index for the column d, drastically reducing the number of rows that need to be examined. (The rows value drops from 867,038 to 70,968.)
When comparing an indexed column to a value, use a value that has the same datatype as the column. For example, you can look for rows containing a numeric id value of 18 with either of the following WHERE clauses:
WHERE id = 18 WHERE id = '18'
MySQL will produce the same result either way, even though the value is specified as a number in one case and as a string in the other case. However, for the string value, MySQL must perform a string-to-number conversion, which might cause an index on the id column not to be used.
In certain cases, MySQL can use an index for pattern-matching operations performed with the LIKE operator. This is true if the pattern begins with a literal prefix value rather than with a wildcard character. An index on a name column can be used for a pattern match like this:
WHERE name LIKE 'de%'
That's because the pattern match is logically equivalent to a range search:
WHERE name >= 'de' AND name < 'df'
On the other hand, the following pattern makes LIKE more difficult for the optimizer:
WHERE name LIKE '%de%'
When a pattern starts with a wildcard character as just shown, MySQL cannot make efficient use of any indexes associated with that column. (Even if an index is used, the entire index must be scanned.)
{mospagebreak title=13.3.1 Optimizing Queries by Limiting Output}
Some optimizations can be done independently of whether indexes are used. A simple but effective technique is to reduce the amount of output a query produces.
One way to eliminate unnecessary output is by using a LIMIT clause. If you don't need the entire result set, specify how many rows the server should return by including LIMIT in your query. This helps two ways:
Less information need be returned over the network to the client.
In many cases, LIMIT allows the server to terminate query processing earlier than it would otherwise.
Another way to limit query output is by selecting only the columns you need, rather than using SELECT * to retrieve all columns. Suppose you want information about countries having names that begin with M. The following query produces that information:
SELECT * FROM Country WHERE Name LIKE 'M%';
However, if all you really want to know is the country names, don't write the query like that. Most of the information retrieved will be irrelevant to what you want to know, resulting in unnecessary server effort and network traffic. Instead, select only the Name column:
SELECT Name FROM Country WHERE Name LIKE 'M%';
The second query is faster because MySQL has to return less information to the client when you select just one column rather than all of them.
In addition, if an index on Name exists, you get even more improvement for two reasons:
The index can be used to determine quickly which Name values satisfy the condition in the WHERE clause. This is faster than scanning the entire table.
Depending on the storage engine, the server might not read the table rows at all. If the values requested by the query are in the index, by reading the index, MySQL already has the information that the client wants. For example, the MyISAM handler will read the index file to determine which values satisfy the query, and then return them to the client without reading the datafile at all. Doing so is faster than reading both the index file and the datafile.
{mospagebreak title=13.3.2 Optimizing Updates}
The optimizations discussed so far have been shown for SELECT statements, but optimization techniques can be used for statements that update tables, too:
For a DELETE or UPDATE statement that uses a WHERE clause, try to write it in a way that allows an index to be used for determining which rows to delete or update. Techniques for this were discussed earlier for SELECT statements; they apply to DELETE or UPDATE as well.
EXPLAIN is used with SELECT queries, but you might also find it helpful for analyzing UPDATE and DELETE queries. Write a SELECT statement that has the same WHERE clause as the UPDATE or DELETE and analyze that.
Use multiple-row INSERT statements instead of multiple single-row INSERT statements. For example, instead of using three single-row statements like this:
mysql> INSERT INTO t (id, name)
VALUES(1,'Bea'); mysql> INSERT INTO t (id, name)
VALUES(2,'Belle'); mysql> INSERT INTO t (id, name)
You could use a single multiple-row statement that does the same thing:
mysql> INSERT INTO t (id, name)
The multiple-row statement is shorter, which is less information to send to the server. More important, it allows the server to perform all the updates at once and flush the index a single time, rather than after each of the individual inserts. This optimization can be used with any storage engine.
If you're using an InnoDB table, you can get better performance even for single-row statements by grouping them within a transaction rather than by executing them with autocommit mode enabled:
mysql> BEGIN; mysql> INSERT INTO t (id, name)
VALUES(1,'Bea'); mysql> INSERT INTO t (id, name)
VALUES(2,'Belle'); mysql> INSERT INTO t (id, name)
VALUES(3,'Bernice'); mysql> COMMIT;
Using a transaction allows InnoDB to flush the changes at commit time. In autocommit mode, InnoDB flushes the changes after each insert.
For any storage engine, LOAD DATA INFILE is even faster than multiple-row INSERT statements. For MyISAM in particular, if you're loading an empty table, MySQL will even automatically disable updating nonunique indexes during the load operation to speed it up more.
To replace existing rows, use REPLACE rather than DELETE plus INSERT.
{mospagebreak title=13.3.3 Using Scheduling Modifiers}
For an application that uses MyISAM tables, you can change the priority of statements that retrieve or modify data. This can be useful in situations where the normal scheduling priorities do not reflect the application's requirements.
Consider an application consisting of a logging process that uses INSERT statements to record information in a log table, and a summary process that periodically issues SELECT queries to generate reports from the log table. Normally, the server will give updates to the table priority over retrievals, so at times of heavy logging activity, report generation might be delayed. If the application places high importance on having the summary process execute as quickly as possible, it can use scheduling modifiers to alter the usual query priorities. Two approaches are possible:
To elevate the priority of the summary queries, use SELECT HIGH_PRIORITY rather than SELECT with no modifier. This will move the SELECT ahead of pending INSERT statements that have not yet begin to execute.
To reduce the priority of record logging statements, use INSERT with either the LOW_PRIORITY or DELAYED modifier.
Scheduling modifiers are covered further in section 14.3.2, "Query Scheduling Modifiers."
Please check back next week for the conclusion of this article.

View the CoSIDA Academic All-District release (PDF)
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Tech senior Lacie Coquerille has been named to the Capitol One Academic All-District third-team for District IV. The teams were voted on by the College of Sports Information Directors of America.
To be eligible for nomination, a student-athlete must have reached sophomore academic standing and have at least a 3.30 cumulative grade point average. The Academic All-District teams are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. Other District IV schools include Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan.
This is the third consecutive time Coquerille has been named Academic All-District, joining fellow softball alums Beth Boden (06-08) and Andrea Roark (91-93) as the only three Tech softball players to accomplish this feat in every year they were eligible.
Coquerille's third academic all-district honor represents the 20th time a TTU softball player has been selected and the 11th time since Tory Acheson took over as head coach in 1998. This is also the 106th a Tech athlete has won the award, dating back to 1985.
A biology and human sciences major from Rocky Face, Ga., Coquerille has maintained a 3.74 GPA during her four years at Tech, while starting in more than 200 softball games. She has also been named to the TTU Athletic Director's and Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner's Honor Rolls for every semester she has been at Tech.
Her on-the-field awards include being named the Golden Eagles MVP and Best Defensive Infielder for the last two seasons, as well as the team's Best Offensive Infielder in 2009 and to the all-OVC first team in 2009.
In 620 career at-bats, Coquerille has hit for a .266 average while scoring 83 runs and driving in 66. She has also maintained a .974 fielding percentage.
Coquerille is one of seven OVC softball players to be named Academic All-District in 2011.
The Golden Eagles wrap up the 2011 regular season this weekend with a three-game series against the UT Martin Skyhawks. The first pitch of Saturday's doubleheader is set for 1 p.m.

Virtual user mail system with Postfix, Dovecot and Roundcube
This article describes how to set up a complete virtual user mail system on an Arch Linux system in the simplest manner possible. However, since a mail system consists of many complex components, quite a bit of configuration will still be necessary. Roughly, the components used in this article are Postfix, Dovecot, PostfixAdmin and Roundcube.
In the end, the provided solution will allow you to use the best currently available security mechanisms, you will be able to send mails using SMTP and SMTPS and receive mails using POP3, POP3S, IMAP and IMAPS. Additionally, configuration will be easy thanks to PostfixAdmin and users will be able to login using Roundcube. What a deal!
This article assumes that you have a working LAMP setup as we will need a working Apache2 as well as MYSQL database. Of course, with a few changes to these instructions you could easily use another httpd and database. For the purposes of this tutorial, however, the choice made above will be used. Additionally, the article assumes all-default settings for every package installed below. No changes except for those mentioned will be required.
Should any unforeseen problems occur, feel free to use the discussion page to voice your problems and I will try to answer.
# pacman -S dovecot postfix
For security reasons, a new user should be created to store the mails:
groupadd -g 5000 vmail useradd -u 5000 -g vmail -s /sbin/nologin -d /home/vmail -m vmail
A gid and uid of 5000 is used in both cases so that we do not run into conflicts with regular users. All your mail will then be stored in /home/vmail. You could change the home dir to something like /var/mail/vmail but careful to change this in any configuration below as well.
You will need to create an empty database and corresponding user. We will be using PostfixAdmin's tables to fill the database later on. In this article, postfix_user will have read/write access to postfix_db using hunter2 for a password. You are expected to create your database and user yourself as shown in the following code. Make sure to assign proper permissions.
$> mysql -u root -p
CREATE SCHEMA `postfix_db` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci ; CREATE USER 'postfix_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'hunter2'; GRANT ALL ON `postfix_db`.* TO `postfix_user`@`localhost`;
There are basically 2 ways for of doing SMTPS.
One is using the wrapper mode which enables even old/odd clients like Outlook to use TLS. The wrapper mode uses the system service "smtps" which is a non-standard service and runs on port 465.
The other, more proper method is to use a port that simply enforces TLS without any wrapping. The system service for this is "submission" which is standard and uses port 587.
For the improper variant uncomment this in
smtps inet n - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
And verify that these lines are in
smtps 465/tcp # Secure SMTP smtps 465/udp # Secure SMTP
otherwise posfix won't start :
postfix/master[5309]: fatal: 0.0.0.0:smtps: Servname not supported for ai_socktype
For the proper variant uncomment this in
submission inet n - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
/etc/postfix/main.cf append:
relay_domains = * virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/virtual_alias_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/virtual_domains_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_mailbox_limit = 512000000 virtual_minimum_uid = 5000 virtual_transport = virtual virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 local_transport = virtual local_recipient_maps = $virtual_mailbox_maps transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options = $smtpd_sasl_security_options smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/private/server.crt smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/server.key smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $mydomain broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1
This references a lot of files that do not even exist yet. Let's create them.
/etc/postfix/virtual_alias_maps.cf as new and add:
user = postfix_user password = hunter2 hosts = localhost dbname = postfix_db query = SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='%s' AND active = true
/etc/postfix/virtual_domains_maps.cf as new and add:
user = postfix_user password = hunter2 hosts = localhost dbname = postfix_db query = SELECT domain FROM domain WHERE domain='%s' AND backupmx = false AND active = true
/etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_limits.cf as new and add:
user = postfix_user password = hunter2 hosts = localhost dbname = postfix_db query = SELECT quota FROM mailbox WHERE username='%s'
/etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_maps.cf as new and add:
user = postfix_user password = hunter2 hosts = localhost dbname = postfix_db query = SELECT maildir FROM mailbox WHERE username='%s' AND active = true
Run postmap on transport to generate its db:
postmap /etc/postfix/transport
We still need the SSL cert and private key:
cd /etc/ssl/certs openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -days 365 -keyout server.key -out server.crt openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key chown nobody:nobody server.key server.crt chmod 400 server.key chmod 444 server.crt mv server.key /etc/ssl/private/ mv server.crt /etc/ssl/private/
Start by getting a fresh config file from the pre-existing sample config:
cp /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.sample /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf we'll need to do quite some configuration:
protocols = imap pop3 auth_mechanisms = plain passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb sql { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } service auth { unix_listener auth-client { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = root } mail_home = /home/vmail/%d/%u mail_location = maildir:~ ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/private/server.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/server.key
See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables for the docevot variables %d and %u.
Now obviously we also need the
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf we just referenced in the config above. Go ahead and create a
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf with these contents:
driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix_db user=postfix_user password=hunter2 # The new name for MD5 is MD5-CRYPT so you might need to change this depending on version default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT # Get the mailbox user_query = SELECT '/home/vmail/%d/%u' as home, 'maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%u' as mail, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, concat('dirsize:storage=', quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' # Get the password password_query = SELECT username as user, password, '/home/vmail/%d/%u' as userdb_home, 'maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%u' as userdb_mail, 5000 as userdb_uid, 5000 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' # If using client certificates for authentication, comment the above and uncomment the following #password_query = SELECT null AS password, '%u' AS user
To install PostfixAdmin, we need to manually get its upstream package and extract it to our web root (or other desired directory). You should use the most recent version available at the time. This article will use the most recent version at the time of writing.
cd /srv/http/ wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/postfixadmin/files/postfixadmin/postfixadmin-2.3.5/postfixadmin-2.3.5.tar.gz/download tar xzf postfixadmin-2.3.5.tar.gz cd postfixadmin-2.3.5
Next, PostfixAdmin needs to be configured. First edit the config.inc.php file :
$CONF['configured'] = true; // correspond to dovecot maildir path /home/vmail/%d/%u $CONF['domain_path'] = 'YES'; $CONF['domain_in_mailbox'] = 'YES';
$CONF['database_type'] = 'mysql'; $CONF['database_host'] = 'localhost'; $CONF['database_user'] = 'postfix_user'; $CONF['database_password'] = 'hunter2'; $CONF['database_name'] = 'postfix_db';
Then assuming localhost is the hostname of the machine you are installing this on, navigate to http://localhost/postfixadmin-2.3.5/setup.php. The setup will guide you through the remaining steps to set up PostfixAdmin.
As with PostfixAdmin, this article will use the most recent version as of the time of writing. You should always use the most recent version available.
cd /srv/http/ wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/roundcubemail/files/roundcubemail/0.7.2/roundcubemail-0.7.2.tar.gz/download tar xzf roundcubemail-0.7.2.tar.gz cd roundcubemail-0.7.2
Make some directories writable by the webserver:
chown -R http:http temp logs
Assuming that localhost is your current host, navigate a browser to http://localhost/roundcubemail-0.7.2/installer/ and follow the instructions. You could use the same database for Roundcube that you already used for PostfixAdmin though you shouldn't. For a proper setup, create a second database "roundcube_db" and a "roundcube_user" for use with Roundcube.
While running the installer, make sure to address the IMAP host with tls://localhost/ instead of just localhost. Use port 993. Likewise with SMTP, make sure to provide ssl://localhost/ on port 465 if you used the wrapper mode and tls://localhost/ on port 587 if you used the proper TLS mode. See here for an explanation on that.
Make sure your DAEMONS array in
/etc/rc.conf contains:
DAEMONS=( ... dovecot postfix ... )
Fire it up
Since now hopefully everything is set up correctly, all necessary daemons should be started for a test run:
rc.d start postfix dovecot
Now for testing purposes, create a domain and mail account in PostfixAdmin. Try to login to this account using Roundcube. Now send yourself a mail.
Here's a good section on setting up domains and mailboxes in PostfixAdmin: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Mail_server_using_Postfix_and_Dovecot#Setting_up_Mailboxes
If you get errors like your imap/pop3 client failing to receive mails, take a look into your /var/log/mail.log file. It turned out that the maildir /firstname.lastname@example.com is just being created if there is at least one email waiting. Otherwise there wouldn't be any need for the directory.

I must be the last birthy person on earth to watch the movie "Babies," but I finally did; what took me so long!? What an adorable movie. With the rare intelligible spoken word and even less music, it might not be the biggest hit with the zippy-paced, second-long attention span'd folks, but I bet it'll grab even the least likely person in your family. I mean, c'mon… babies? Who couldn't love them?
Synopsis' and reviews abound, so I'll not go into those minute details. Instead, I'll talk about the parts that struck me –and I bet many of you as well.
Cast of Characters – and I do mean characters!- the babies, Ponijao from Namibia, Africa; Hattie from San Francisco, North America; Bayar in Mongolia, Asia and Mari in Tokyo, also in Asia are shown from birth to one year of age. We're able to see the range of activities babies universally demonstrate; everything from sleeping and pooping to temper tantrums and learning to walk. I laughed as Bayar sat unrolling the toilet paper… how many times that happened in my own household! And it must certainly comfort many a mama to know it isn't just their baby that hollers all night long.
I loved seeing breastfeeding as such a natural experience, the women in Namibia seeming to nurse the longest, although I suspect Bayar also nursed longer than many (most?) American babies. I mean, where would his mom store formula in a yurt? Because there wasn't dialogue, we were left to wonder if the one African mom had twins or was nursing another woman's baby. I'm willing to bet there was at least some baby-sharing going on. If for no other reason, I'd love new moms to watch the movie to see the lack of clock watching by the mothers not in industrialized cultures. Wearing the babies was normal, as was an almost continuous offering of the breast. We can learn a lot from that easy-going attitude, yes? It was great seeing one of the moms squirting breast milk all over her baby's face, wiping the dirt (and germs!) away with a cloth. It can take a lot of convincing to get an American mom to squirt milk into her child's goopy eyes… and look! we aren't alone in this easy and free method of clearing up infections. I'd love to know if breast milk was put on cuts and scrapes of other family members, too.
Hollywood is known for loathing scenes with babies and animals, but "Babies" delights in watching both interact. The babies poke, pull and try to ride cats and dogs. Oh, how tolerant our pets are! I laughed knowingly. However, I did cringe when one of the moms sat skinning the family cat, most assuredly for food. Her baby wasn't the least bit perturbed, yet I wondered if an older child might have had more of a reaction.
Alternately, I laughed when the baby sat in his stroller surrounded by cattle. He didn't even bat an eye!
When it came to cleanliness, I surprised myself at my squirminess when the African babies lived on the dirt (when they weren't in arms). I've been one of those moms that didn't wig out about the kids being dirty –immunizations!- I'd proclaim. But to think of the babies crawling around on the dirt that animals (and humans?) peed and pooped on… bled on… it was just gross to me. Seeing a baby pick up a random bone and gnaw on it flared a wonder: Might the infant and child mortality rate be so high partly because of this regular part of (non-industrialized) African life? I have no idea if that is an absurd thought or not and am sure those that work closely with different areas take that into consideration, but it struck me several times while watching the movie. At the least, I was confronted with my own ethnocentrism; I paid attention. A couple of hours after the movie, I had the thought that we all came from this background; somewhere in our ancestry, we all lived on the ground… and made it just fine.
The juxtaposition of the dirt-crawling babies with the almost overly-clean American and Japanese kids was striking. Strollers kept the babes far from the "dirty" earth and daily baths as well as washing machines gave everyone the well-scrubbed glow so many of us think of as privilege. But, is it always? What did the African mom think of the American baby when she watched the film three years after its making? I would love to sit with her and ask. And the American mom, was she concerned about the babies playing in the water? Was she worried the babies might drown? We're taught not to leave babies near even a cup of water because they might drown in it, yet some of these babies splashed around unsupervised.
I did love seeing the Mongolian mother bathing her son, sipping water (certainly cold) and then gently spitting it over her baby's backside. Now, that's love right there. Amusingly, even though there didn't seem to be warm water, a satellite dish hovered over the yurt and a stroller made an appearance late in the movie. I can't imagine how they got there! The mom left the hospital with the new baby on a motorcycle. Was someone hired to carry the dish out to them as well as set them up?
Formal Learning
In Japan, I watched as those babies and toddlers received sensory input after learning opportunity, moms and dads equally partaking in stimulating their children. Is this the opposite of unschooling? I've wondered what the next generation will bring, what the unschooled children will contribute to our lives and culture. If we put them up against these (possibly over-) stimulated kids, who will be more productive? (And I do not just mean who will make more money.)
Glaring African Differences
So, not wanting to be racist (and please tell me if I am being so), I've noticed that African-American (I tend to use the term "Black," but am unsure if that's the PC term… I use it because Blacks [in my small world] don't all endorse the term African-anything) babies walk a lot earlier than Anglo babies. From what I've seen, the babies are merely expected to, so do. When I saw the same thing in "Babies," the African babies… under a year old… being encouraged to walk instead of being picked up, I wondered where the patience came from to not hurry the child along and if that was a long-standing cultural tradition. I'd love to ask a behavioral anthropologist one day.
Panijao is shown learning how to balance a bowl on her head. She's being shown by mom and then by her brother. I sat with my mouth hanging open at the capabilites of a child I would never have presumed in my own children. What more are all our children able to do but are coddled into avoiding, sometimes their whole lives? M'thinks the movie should be shown in different classes in high school and college… and discussed, pointing out the cultural variations and how we might capitalize on the knowledge of other cultures instead of always assuming they need to capitalize on ours.
How amusing, the satellite dish, an Internet connection, a cell phone –out in Mongolia! There is nowhere safe (so to speak) from technology now. Unless a person consciously removes themselves from society, they are caught up in the Web… literally.
The movie whetted my appetite for information about how the different cultures go through daily life and a hunger for knowledge about various rites of passage. In another life, I would have been an anthropologist.
I do encourage all mamas, dads, parents-to-be to watch "Babies." It'll surely make you laugh and nod and you'll find yourself thinking, "Oh how glad I'm not alone."
Even when it feels like we are, it's certainly reassuring to know we are not. I know I feel better anyway.
(Please read the comments; I missed several points that others made, most especially about Bayar in Mongolia remaining nearly immobilized the entire first year. It didn't even dawn on me that he was! I'll have to watch it again. The commenters made great observations.)

The Dow Industrials fell mildly on the week as traders remained fixated on when exactly the Federal Reserve will trim down its vast bond-buying program.
Today's Markets
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 46.8 points, or 0.31%, to 15011, the S&P 500 climbed 6.5 points, or 0.39%, to 1654 and the Nasdaq Composite jumped 19.1 points, or 0.52%, to 3658.
For the week, the Dow fell 0.47%, the S&P rose 0.46% and the Nasdaq rallied 1.5%.
After a tumultuous session marked by a historic, three-hour halt in Nasdaq-listed securities, action was considerably quieter on the Street Friday. Traders will were parsing through a smattering of corporate news and awaiting key economic developments.
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) chief executive Steve Ballmer decided to retire within the next 12 months upon the completion of a process to choose his successor, the software giant said. Shares were higher by 7.4%.
Meanwhile, the Commerce Department said sales of new single-family homes dropped 13.4% to an annualized rate of 394,000 in July, widely missing expectations of 490,000. It was the lowest reading since October 2012, and the biggest drop since May 2010.
Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Janet Yellen was also slated to make remarks at the central bank's annual conference in Jackson Hole, Wy. There has been an intense focus on commentary from top Fed officials lately amid worries about when the Fed will begin paring back its vast bond-buying program.

Research Highlights
November 2005
Mass spectrometry detectors—eye on ions
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory chief scientist Dave Koppenaal and senior research scientist Charles Barinaga were among the authors of an article entitled "Mass spectrometry detectors—an eye on ions" that was featured on the cover of the November 1 issue of Analytical Chemistry.
Mass spectrometry (MS) technology is divided into three processes: ion generation, ion separation, and ion detection. The first two have received significant and focused attention; however, ion detection technology has lagged. The article was an invited feature, and it describes the various kinds of MS detectors and their applications and the technologies needed to improve ion detection in particular.
Koppenaal was the lead author of the article, which includes a discussion of the MS detector development efforts at PNNL, the University of Arizona, and Indiana University that are funded by DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration's Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation (NA-20) in a Grand Challenge that started in 2001.
Koppenaal DW, CJ Barinaga, MB Denton, RP Sperline, GM Hieftje, GD Schilling, FJ Andrade, and JH Barnes IV. 2005. "Mass Spectrometry Detectors—Eye on Ions." Analytical Chemistry 77(21):418A-427A. DOI:10.1021/ac0534935.


text: I'm a new user of ISPConfig (an excelent software, by the way) and I'm facing a problem with /bin/sh. I've installed ISPConfig 126.96.36.199 in a Amazon EC2 Instance with Ubuntu 12.04, following this tutorial here in howtoforge: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.04-lts-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3 Everything is working fine, but I have some sites with Joomla CMS 1.6 (yes, an old version, I know) and when I try to do file uploads for upgrade Joomla or install components I have a 500 internal server apache error. The apache error log says that: "/bin/sh: /bin/runAV: No such file or directory" I think that this is related to the change of /bin/dash for /bin/bash, but I don't know what do to. Google didn't helped me either. Someone can help me? Thanks in advance. [sorry about my poor Brazilian english ]

The more conventional opponents of intentionalism are formalists, who believe that the meaning of a text can be determined by the words of the text itself, without recourse to things like the author's intention. (The New Critics were the paradigmatic formalists.) There are also exotic views like reader-response theory, according to which the reader or the interpretive community determines what the text means; and deconstructionism, which seems to hold that texts don't have unified meanings. What I'll try to do here is explain why intentionalism is the best theory of interpretation. I'm going to direct my attacks mostly at formalism here, because it strikes me as the strongest opponent.
First, a simple example. Suppose someone tells you, "I went to the bank today." This could mean either that they went to the side of a river, or that they went to a financial institution. In some circumstances, there won't be enough context to rule in favor of one interpretation or the other. (The fact that the person actually went to a financial institution and not the side of a river doesn't make it true that they meant that they went to a financial institution, although it's good evidence for that -- they still might have meant that they went to the riverside, and been lying. But the reason it is good evidence is that it makes it more probable that they intended to communicate that they went to a financial institution.) Even if there's not much context, we still want to say that they meant one thing or the other. It's hard to see what could make it the case that they meant one thing or the other in cases where there isn't a lot of context, unless it's their intention that did it.
I also don't know how a formalist makes sense of our judgments about which literary works are satirical. If we found something like A Modest Proposal coming from a society that practiced cannibalism, we might be tempted to read it as an earnest suggestion, as the intention to promote cannibalism is one that a cannibal might have. But our understanding of the sorts of things that literate Irishmen of Jonathan Swift's times were likely to regard as acceptable makes it wildly implausible to ascribe pro-cannibalistic intentions to him. So we regard his work as satirical. The best way to explain our different responses to Swift's work and to the identical words, written by a cannibal, is to go to our judgments about what the two authors are likely to intend.
I've aimed both of these examples at the formalists, but they work against reader-response theorists and deconstructionists too. Even if a reader, or an entire interpretive community, believed that Swift was earnestly proposing cannibalism, they'd be wrong. And it's hard for me to see any support for the idea that texts don't have unified meanings in these cases -- in Swift's case, we insist on a particular unified meaning -- the satirical one.
Now I'll deal with a case that's supposed to cause intentionalists trouble. Amanda posted a while ago about how Ray Bradbury has told us that Fahrenheit 451 isn't about censorship. According to him, it's "a story about how television destroys interest in reading literature." I haven't gone back and read the book to see if this actually makes sense, but in any case it's not unheard of for authors to make statements about the true meaning of their works that seem ridiculous. Does this mean that we were, in fact, all wrong about what their works meant?
Not necessarily. The causes of our actions often differ from the way we rationalize them, and in complex cases of communication like the writing of novels, people might not have a good handle on the psychological processes motivating them to write exactly as they do. So even as the forces within them cause them to focus their writing in a specific fashion and to play up aspects of stories that emotionally resonate with them, they may not be able to give correct descriptions of what's going on inside them. Perhaps what really drove Bradbury to write the story as he did -- and what he would've felt strangely unsatisfied if he hadn't been able to properly express -- was an appreciation of how bad government censorship of literature was, even though he didn't explicitly realize that this was motivating his portrayals of events and characters. I'm willing to give a fair amount of credence to first-person reports of one's intention, but even honest people aren't perfect at reporting their intentions in complex cases, so their reports can be overridden if we have enough contrary data.
Another case, brought to me by English grad students in Dr. Martinich's seminar five years ago, concerned the poetry of Arthur Rimbaud. They explained to me that some of Rimbaud's poetry seems to leave some aspects of its meaning open for the reader to fill in. This made reader-response theory seem more plausible to them. It did concern them, though, that not all interpretations of the poems they described would be correct, even if every reader had them. For example, Vowels is not a casserole recipe, no matter what a casserole-obsessed interpretive community might say. There's no good way to fill in the ambiguities in the poem and get there.
I don't know if they eventually accepted it, but they were intrigued by my way of reconciling their interpretive practice with intentionalism. Suppose Rimbaud intended aspects of the meaning of his poems to be filled in by his readers, so that it would mean different things depending on who was reading it. And suppose the readers took seriously the project of operating within the space generated by Rimbaud's intentions and did not try to turn the poems into casserole recipes. Then the meaning of his poems would be generated by something akin to an act of joint authorship. When two people's intentions are in harmony, they can jointly generate the meaning of a text, and to my English department friends, this seemed to be at least a plausible story about how one reads Rimbaud.
I should say a last word about the practice of reappropriating texts. In taking ahold of a text -- perhaps a play or a novel -- and giving it a meaning that you know the author didn't intend, either in your own mind or in some work you create based on it, you cease to be an interpreter and start being a kind of author. This can be good or bad, depending on how good an author you are, but the important point is that the responsibility for the things you intended but the original author didn't goes to you. If you take it upon yourself to turn Vowels into a casserole recipe, don't blame Rimbaud if it the casserole doesn't taste good. But if it does, most of the credit belongs to you, and not to Rimbaud.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS – Where were you on the night Patrick Ewing rolled to 25 points and 12 rebounds, Derek Harper handed out seven assists and the Knicks beat the Rockets 91-84?
Let me help.
Where were you on the night of O.J. Simpson chase in the White Bronco?
It was 17 years ago tonight when the Rockets and Knicks Game 5 of The NBA Finals was shrunk to fit into a lower corner of our TV screens as O.J. and his buddy Al Cowlings took the L.A.P.D. on the most famous police chase in American history.
June 17, 1994 was a Friday, just like this year. I was sitting in the front row courtside at Madison Square Garden, trying to keep one eye on the Ewing, Hakeem Olajwon, John Starks, Sam Cassell and the game in front of me and the other on one of the most bizarre scenes ever played out on live television.

MIAMI (CBS Miami) – As many parents know, getting your child to sleep can sometimes be a monumental task. Now, more and more parents are turning to a supplement called melatonin to get their children to fall asleep at night.
Melatonin is an over-the-counter, natural hormone that comes in a pill. It's produced by the brain and stimulates sleep.
Blake Huddleston, an active five-year-old, who loves to play with his older sister, has struggled with sleep issues.
"He'd just be up all night, all wound up, not able to sleep," said Heather Huddleston, his mother.
So his mom recently tried melatonin. On most nights Huddleston crushes it into a powder, mixes it with juice and sends Blake to bed.
"He seems to be just growing a lot more efficiently. He's sleeping better, he's eating better, it's helped regulate his sleep cycles," she said.
More parents are discovering their children are better behaved at home and better performers at school after they take melatonin.
Yet there are some concerns. Doctors said there isn't enough research on the long-term effects. What's more, melatonin does not have FDA approval for medical use.
Dr. Adiaha Franklin, a pediatrician, often recommends it for kids with developmental disabilities such as autism or ADHD.
She suggests trying other approaches first, such as turning off bright screens before bedtime, in order to increase melatonin the natural way.
"For children, it can actually take up to an hour for their brains to calm down in order for them to make their natural melatonin and go to sleep," Dr. Franklin said.
Melatonin doesn't work for everyone. One mother said her teen daughter tried it last year after a neurologist prescribed it for dysautonomia, a nervous system disorder. Instead of sleeping, the 15-year-old complained of blurred vision and increased anxiety.
"She said like, the chalkboard would wave and stuff like that," she said. "And then we started noticing she started having panic attacks."
It all stopped once she cut out melatonin.
"Just went away slowly, after 24 to 48 hours," she said.
Doctors said other side effects could include drowsiness, headaches and even weird dreams.
Huddleston said her son hasn't experienced any of that, but she urges other moms and dads to talk to their doctor first before trying the supplement.

European GP 2010
Saturday Team Quotes
Lewis Hamilton (3rd, 1:37.969): "Ahead of this weekend, we didn't expect to be quick enough for third on the grid. It's a complete surprise, but it's a fantastic result. I thought my first Q3 lap was good, but you just never knew what the others were doing. On my final lap, I was two tenths up, but I was way over the limit, locked the rears into Turn 17 and had to bail out of it. Fortunately, my previous lap was an awesome one, so I'm so happy to be third. I'm very happy with third, actually - you're on the clean side, so it's a better position to start from than second, and you get the clean line on the inside, so I can make it hard for Mark [Webber] to get into the first corner ahead of me. Today's qualifying could prove crucial for us; we came here determined to minimise the damage because we knew a lot of the other teams would be quick because they'd brought updates to this race. And, for tomorrow, anything's still possible - there's a long straight around the back of the track, and, if we can stay close enough, then there's a possibility to use the F-duct and overtake. I'll be relying on the guys to do the best job possible during the pitstops tomorrow - as they usually do - and I think we're going to have an exciting race."
Jenson Button (7th, 1:38.210): "Things were looking good until the last corner of my last lap in Q3. I was pretty happy with the car, but then I got a bit of oversteer through the quick right-hander before it, and I think that set the car up poorly for the last corner. I locked up, ran wide, and lost two tenths. And that's massive - it could have been fourth on the grid. So, very disappointing. But I can't do anything about it, and I'll be pushing for a better race tomorrow. It'll be very difficult - I just want to get a good start and not get stuck in traffic, because the pace of our car is good. It's disappointing, as I say, but hopefully we can gain some places at the start, execute some quick pitstops and make the most of our strategy - the pits really are the only place where you can overtake around here. I'm a little surprised at the final grid - it's very similar to what we've seen at a lot of other races, despite several teams bringing upgrades to this race. And that's another positive for us."
Martin Whitmarsh, Team Principal: "Fast and committed qualifiers that they both are, Lewis and Jenson pushed as hard as possible in Q3 today. However, they both made small errors on their final laps. Lewis's mistake probably made no difference to his eventual grid position, because the single-lap performance gap to the Red Bulls is quite significant here, but Jenson looked to have P4 in the bag had he negotiated the final corner of his last lap as well as he'd driven the previous turns. Even so, Jenson is an extremely smooth yet very combative race driver - and, bearing in mind that he and Lewis have notched up 86 world championship points in the past two races, we think they're well set to score significantly again tomorrow."
Mercedes GP
Nico Rosberg (12th, 1:38.627): "It's very frustrating to be so far back on the grid although my lap was good today. There was just no more performance to get out of the car. We had a few issues this morning so we had to make a compromise on our upgrade package and that made the difference of being in the top ten. It's not easy to understand what happened as we hoped to take a step forward here but we haven't got the best of our updates yet and we need to understand the tyres quickly. The car will be stronger in the race so we stay positive and see what will happen."
Michael Schumacher (15th, 1:39.234): "Obviously I am disappointed with my position today and it is certainly not where I want to be. I had to fight with two things. Firstly, as in Canada we have a general problem with the tyres and we can't get them to work in qualifying. Secondly, I had some difficulties with the brakes and I was locking the front right all the time. This made things extra difficult and is something we need to understand. However our new updates are definitely an advantage, although this was not evident in the performance. I could have gone maybe three-tenths quicker on my last lap if Buemi had not been in the way but it would still not have been enough for Q3. But we are fighters and we know this sport long enough. Our starts are good and with more fuel on board, things do not look so bad. We will certainly try to make the best out of our situation tomorrow."
Ross Brawn, Team Principal: "Clearly that was a difficult qualifying session. After Montreal, we thought that we understood our issues with the tyres but they are still proving to be a challenge. The team and drivers did as well as they could today but we do not have the pace at the moment and we are not making the tyres work well, particularly in qualifying. We are pushing very hard to develop the car and sometimes in pushing so hard, you trip over. We need to reflect, assess and see what our next steps should be."
Norbert Haug, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "It is a disappointing qualifying result today for our team. Of course it was very tight, but if you are six-tenths slower than the best lap time, then you end up in twelfth place like Nico. Michael hit traffic in the last sector of his fastest lap which prevented him from improving further. We will certainly not give up on improving our package as we have done continuously since the season began but our competitors have been doing the same. Our race pace tomorrow should be better."
Red Bull-Renault
Sebastian Vettel (1st, 1:37.587): "Valencia isn't usually - or shouldn't be - our strongest circuit so it's good that we are able to put the car on pole and I think our pace is looking very good. It was a tight qualifying session, and a tough one especially as we reintroduced the F-duct and I think some of the mechanics had maybe an hour or two's sleep last night, so it's good to say thank you by putting the cars on one and two. We're now in a very strong position to start tomorrow's race."
Mark Webber (2nd, 1:37.662): "It would be nice to be the other way around but you can't do it all the time! I'm pleased to be on the front row with Seb, and all credit to the team. This isn't one of our strongest circuits and the track is like a Tesco car park, but we've had a good day and let's see how tomorrow goes. I'm very optimistic we can have a good race."
Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "The one-two was completely unexpected at a track that might have exposed some of our weaknesses. The team has put a lot of hard work into the new duct, and that combined with other bits and pieces and perfect laps from both drivers has produced a great result to start tomorrow's race. We know the McLarens are quick in straight-line speed, but we are confident of a good race."
Fabrice Lom, Renault: "We are back on the front row with is very good. We made a big step forward with the new parts and with the engines behaving well on this track we can expect a good result tomorrow."
Fernando Alonso (4th, 1:38.075): "I am happy with this result. Here, so many teams, including Ferrari, have brought new parts and so it was important to show we are capable of fighting for the top places. We managed it and we must bear in mind that, without the updates we have on the F10, we would probably have struggled to make it into Q3. Tomorrow, we have the potential to fight for a podium place: it will be important to get a good start, choose the right strategy and not make any mistakes because the walls here are not forgiving. Obviously, reliability will be very important as this track is very tough on the cars. With the harder tyre, our car was more competitive as its behaviour inspired more confidence over the flying lap, but to have done Q3 with this compound would probably have compromised our race."
Felipe Massa (5th, 1:38.127): "Today, we had a good car and the potential was there to do better than this fifth place. In Q1 and Q2, I was very pleased with the handling of my F10, but in Q3 I was not able to improve, mainly because of traffic that prevented me from preparing the tyres properly. It's a shame, because I could have been starting from third place tomorrow: from fifth it will be harder to fight for a podium finish, but the chance is still there within our grasp. The updates the team has brought here contributed to making the car more competitive and they lived up to our expectations: we must continue down this route for the rest of the season."
Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal: "We are reasonably pleased with this result. The car proved to be competitive and everything was in place to secure an even better result but, for various reasons, we never managed to put together the perfect lap with either of our two drivers. All the same, we know that as always, the points are only given out tomorrow. We can expect a long and difficult race for the drivers the teams and the cars and, as I usually say on Saturdays, reliability will be the key. The technical updates we introduced this weekend have seen us take a step forward in terms of performance, but we must continue to push on the development front, because the other teams are doing the same."
Chris Dyer: "There is a hint of disappointment at this result. After this morning's third free practice session, we saw that our car was very competitive on the harder tyre, while it struggled a bit more to get the best out of the softer one on the single flying lap. In the two hours before qualifying, the team worked on trying to find the right compromise and the situation improved, but not enough to put us in the fight for the very top positions, which was also down to the fact that neither driver managed to get a clean lap in Q3. That explains why Felipe and Fernando ended up where they did. All the same, it's not a bad position for the race: from what we have seen so far, the F10 seems to be very competitive over a long run."
Nico Hulkenberg (8th, 1:38.428): "A positive Saturday; that wasn't a bad qualifying! No one expected me to be ahead of Rubens today because he's been quicker than me all weekend. Somehow I pulled out a good lap in Q3 and beat him by a fraction. We're obviously happy that we have both cars in the top ten, which was the aim. Hopefully we'll have a good race and get some points tomorrow."
Rubens Barrichello (9th, 1:38.428): "It was a good qualifying session for the team. Ninth is a strong position to be starting from, but I could have done better than that if it weren't for a problem with brake warm up in Q3. I'm looking forward to tomorrow and certainly feel we can achieve a top sixth finish as the car is looking competitive. We are quite happy with the improvements we've brought here this weekend. We still need to keep pushing, but this demonstrates that we can be fast."
Sam Michael, Technical Director: "To get both cars into Q3 is good progress with the whole car package. Rubens had an issue with glazed brakes, which was a shame as that pushed him down the order. Nico did a good job in qualifying today. We do still have to improve across all areas of the car, and if we do that quickly we'll feature in the top ten more regularly. Rubens will be racing the blown rear wing tomorrow while Nico will run a standard version."
Robert Kubica (6th, 1:38.137): "It has been a pretty good qualifying and the car was especially strong on the prime tyre. On the options I had a lot more movement so the car felt quite different and we didn't really gain the lap time, but we made a decision that it would be better to start the race on the options. Although I finished higher in the first two parts of qualifying, I think the end result reflects our true position. The new updates on the car this weekend are bringing us some gains, but we still need to work to get 100% from them, which I hope we can do in the coming races."
Vitaly Petrov (10th, 1:38.523): "It's fantastic to get into Q3 because the times were very close today. Unfortunately I made some mistakes on my fastest lap in Q3 so I could maybe have been even higher on the grid. In the race anything can happen so I will try and look after my tyres and make up some positions. There are a lot of new parts on the car this weekend and I have had to adapt my driving style, but I can feel a big improvement with the car."
Eric Boullier, Team Principal: "It's always good to see both cars in Q3 because it's not something we have managed that often this season. After Q1 and Q2 we were expecting an even better result in Q3, but we didn't find the performance that we expected with the soft tyres. For the race tomorrow we have a good strategy and hopefully we can get both cars in the points and make up some ground on Mercedes."
Alan Permane, Chief Race Engineer: "I'm pleased to see both cars in the top ten for the second time in three races and it's nice to be well ahead of both Mercedes, our closest competitors in the championship. We were actually hoping for a better position with Robert today, but we struggled more than we expected with the option tyre. Although it's the softer compound, the car was moving around more and felt less together on the option. You might expect a softer tyre to have more grip, but you can't use that extra grip if the car isn't easy to drive. However, we felt that we needed to start the race on the option, so that we don't have to do a long stint on it in the race."
Force India-Mercedes
Adrian Sutil (13th, 1:38.851): "This morning the car felt really good and I could push on both the prime and the option tyres, and it showed in the time I was able to do. But in Q2 I had a clean lap but the grip just didn't seem to be there. Over the whole session it was so hard and we couldn't get the tyres to work - such a big difference from the morning session. It's obviously very disappointing as we looked very strong here and we didn't change much from this morning. I'm now concentrating on the race - we had a good event here last year and, as we saw in Montreal, our race pace is very strong so there's always opportunities to make up positions."
Vitantonio Liuzzi (14th, 1:38.884): "This morning we were really quick and it didn't start too badly in Q1 for us so we were very positive about getting a good result. But it got very hot this afternoon, perhaps seven or eight degrees hotter than in free practice this morning, and it seemed to have a big effect on the tyres. Both Adrian and myself had big issues with the soft tyres in Q2 and had a lot of understeer. It's a real shame as both yesterday and this morning we were looking very competitive and we had hoped for more. But we're not giving up as there are so many possibilities in the race - just look at Montreal where we had the accident at the start, but fought to the end and still picked up two points."
Dr. Vijay Mallya, Team Principal: "It's been a disappointing day as we showed a genuine pace this morning and couldn't quite deliver this afternoon. It's something to work on tonight and come back strong in the race tomorrow. We've shown good pace here before and in fact last year we started 12th and 16th and finished 10th and 12th in the race so there's still everything to work towards."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Sebastien Buemi (11th, 1:38.586): "It's my best qualifying result of the season and I did not expect to do so well before the start of the session, which is a reason to be pleased. On the other hand, I am a bit disappointed because Barrichello was ahead of me going into the final corner on my last flying lap and he really slowed me down. He was on his slowing down lap, but it cost me two tenths which should have seen me finish higher than eleventh. To be honest, I'm not sure why the car worked so well today, because we have not changed anything since Canada. It proves the team is doing a fine job. It's good to start from further up the grid than usual, right in the middle of the pack, which means I have every chance of having a good race, even if it will be very difficult to overtake."
Jaime Alguersuari (17th, 1:39.458): "I'm not sure what happened as we seemed to lack pace this afternoon. I tried to push as hard as possible, but the speed did not come, so we will need to look at the data to understand what went on. Maybe my tyre pressures were a bit too low and I struggled especially on the soft tyres, maybe I did not have quite the right feeling from the brakes, which are very important here but for whatever reason I was very slow. Today, my team-mate did a better job than me, so we will have to try and improve in order to catch up in the race tomorrow."
Giorgio Ascanelli, Technical Director: "The times were very close this afternoon and Sebastien had a particularly good qualifying session, although there is some feeling of regret because he could have done slightly better than eleventh place, if he had not been held up by traffic towards the end of his last flying lap. What I am particularly pleased about is that, on his final run in Q2, Seb decided to go for a single flying lap to gain the advantage of carrying less fuel weight and it paid off, which was the right way to do it. Jaime, who went for two timed laps on both his Q2 runs, also had a bit of a traffic problem and so he did not get it quite right today. As for tomorrow's race, free practice demonstrated that we appear to have a good pace over a long run, which is encouraging."
Jarno Trulli (19th, 1:40.658): "I'm feeling quite a lot happier now - things have been getting better all weekend now I have the new chassis, and as I've not had any real problems I've been able to work on the setup, which obviously helped today. I do still have a bit of an issue with the brakes, but it feels like a new start from where I've been and I'm pleased with the performance today. We are another step ahead of the teams behind and I think we'll be ok tomorrow."
Heikki Kovalainen (20th, 1:40.882): "It was a little disappointing for me out there today. I didn't feel as comfortable as I did yesterday, when I was very happy with the car. Today it seems I had to fight the car a bit, and I really had to attack to get some good times. But it's ok. I'm not too worried, and tomorrow I will push again and try to bring the car home to the end of the race."
Tony Fernandes, Team Principal: "There's a lot of good points that have come out of today - the main one is that we've finished quite comfortably ahead of Virgin and HRT, and it was great to hear Jarno happy over the radio - his new chassis looks like it may have brought about a change in luck, so let's hope that continues tomorrow. Our engineers tell me we've taken another step forward today, and hopefully we'll get even more out of the new Cosworth engine in the race - it's very encouraging to see the performance of both of the Cosworth powered Williams cars today, so hopefully we can keep pushing like them and get both cars home tomorrow."
Mike Gascoyne, Technical Director: "I'm very pleased with Qualifying today - it was a very solid effort from the whole team. We were actually 2.5 seconds off the quickest time in Q1, and percentage wise that's our best performance of the year so far. We've moved further away from the competition behind us, so overall it was a very solid performance, with the whole team continuing to move forward. Now we'll have to match that with a two car finish in the race tomorrow."
Karun Chandhok (23rd, 1:42.600): "I am very pleased with how it went today. We had a far more productive practice session this morning and played a lot with the electronic settings on my car which was very useful for qualifying. My fastest lap was pretty good - it's never neat and tidy around here but I think I got the maximum from the car this afternoon. The temperature is expected to be quite high again tomorrow so it will be a tough race for the cars, tyres and drivers. Our race pace has generally been good so I am looking forward to a long race tomorrow."
Bruno Senna (24th, 1:42.851): "It was a difficult qualifying session today when the track improved a bit. But I didn't get my lap together and I lost a lot of time. Unfortunately, I couldn't end up with a better result than this. But it is going to be a long race tomorrow and I hope to do a better job then."
Colin Kolles, Team Principal: "We expected more than the result we did today. Even if we could fix the problems we had on both cars yesterday, unfortunately, we couldn't perform as well as we did in the races before. The lap times of the new teams are close and if you do a small mistake on a street circuit like this, you get pushed back on the grid. But we will be well prepared for tomorrow's race and we hope to fight for positions with the other teams again."
BMW Sauber-Ferrari
Pedro de la Rosa (16th, 1:39.264): "Sixteenth doesn't look great, but I must say I am quite happy with what we did in qualifying. In Q1 especially our performance was really good. We improved the car after free practice and the changes paid off. We pushed hard and I think we got the best out of the package. There are limits. I think the track conditions favoured the harder tyre compound. The prime tyres were really good. With the softer option tyres I had a lack of grip and was sliding too much."
Kamui Kobayashi (18th, 1:39.343): "I am very disappointed after having been out so early in qualifying. My first run on the prime tyres was okay, and when we changed to the option tyres I was expecting a lot more from them for the second run, but there was no extra grip. Anyway I didn't exploit the potential because on my first flying lap with the softer tyres I locked the front wheels, which resulted in them being flat spotted. That's why I felt vibrations in the car and this ruined my second flying lap. It is a shame."
James Key, Technical Director: "It was a disappointing qualifying, but incredibly close. The grip level seemed to be quite inconsistent, and unfortunately it wasn't possible for Kamui to get through to the second part of qualifying. He flat spotted the front tyres and was therefore not able to put the best sector times together, which seemed to be tricky today on the option tyres. Pedro did quite a good job in Q1 where he was 13th. He then began Q2 on the prime tyres and switched to the option tyres for the second run, but again a lack of grip and a balance difference between the two compounds seemed to be the problem. Unfortunately he couldn't improve his lap time, and again the sectors tell a slightly different story. But that's where we are this weekend, so we have to improve."
Lucas di Grassi (21st, 1:42.086): "I'm very happy to be the fastest Virgin Racing driver today. This is my debut year in F1 and I've been learning a lot with each Grand Prix. I've been getting closer to Timo's lap times and to be able to keep pace with someone with his ability and experience is a good measure of the progress I feel I am making. Your team-mate is always your easiest comparison but we are not fighting each other - we are working together to make Virgin Racing the best of the new teams. We have a lot of work to do to improve the car and our pace, so while I'm very pleased with the result today, that is where our focus lies."
Timo Glock (22nd, 1:42.140): "Unfortunately we made the wrong decision with the tyres today. We thought things would work out with the Option tyre with a small set-up change, but I had one run on Primes and they were definitely much quicker. Unfortunately I made a mistake out of the last corner and lost around 0.5 secs, otherwise I would have been quicker than Lucas and closer to the Lotus cars. Now we have to look at the opportunities for the Race tomorrow."
Nick Wirth, Technical Director: "Lucas and his engineers continued to have a smooth weekend and he did a good job in Qualifying. I think he's having a great rookie year so far. Timo wasn't happy with some overnight set-up changes on our new development parts, and that made the tyre comparison in FP3 harder to judge. We successfully went back to the Friday settings for Qualifying, but the choice of the Option tyre for his first run was incorrect and he didn't get the most out of his last run on Primes. As ever, we'll be chasing a two-car finish in the Race tomorrow."

Back in January, I did a review for Royal Design Studio "Hollywood Squares" stencil.
I originally planned to leave it as just a section of the wall and possibly frame it. Well, after looking at it like that for the past few months, I decided to just go ahead and stencil the entire wall. After all, Mandi's wall was the reason I chose this stencil in the first place.
On Saturday I picked up my roller and stencil and got to work. Wanna see how it turned out?!
I'm still working on it. I was trying to decide if I really want to take the stencil all the way to the top
Not only do I NOT want to pull out my ladder to do this, but I'm also not sure if I would like it being uneven at the top. Maybe I could do one more row? I've been looking at this wall everyday since Saturday trying to figure out what I want to do.
What would you do? Take it to the top? Or, would you leave it even across?

Related Media: Stress - Common Skills to Help You Cope with Stress
A person with broken heart syndrome usually has had recent emotional or physical stress, such as the death of a loved one or an asthma attack. This stress results in symptoms that are similar to a heart attack, such as:
The Difference Between a Heart Attack and a Broken Heart
It is difficult to tell the difference between broken heart syndrome and a heart attack since both can have changes in electrocardiograms (EKGs) and blood tests.
Doctors rely on other tests that allow them to look for left ventricle abnormalities that indicate broken heart syndrome. The syndrome causes the left ventricle to narrow and develop a rounded bottom.
In addition, those with broken heart syndrome typically lack the coronary artery blockages associated with heart attacks.
Women at Higher Risk
While the syndrome does occur in both genders, a recent literature review found that 90% of broken heart cases occur in postmenopausal women. The condition typically occurs in women who are aged 60 years and older. The reasons why the condition occurs more in women is still uncertain. However, researchers think sex hormones may play a role.
Broken heart syndrome is a temporary and reversible condition. The left ventricle will revert to its normal shape and function in days or weeks. It's also uncommon for it to happen again.
Coping with Stress
We will all experience stress in our lives. Learning how to cope with stress, especially when it's unexpected may help you avoid problems. Mental Health America offers the following suggestions to cope:
- Complete one task before moving on to the next one.
- Be realistic about what you can accomplish.
- Know that you will make mistakes and that it is okay.
- Use your imagination to visualize yourself managing stressful situations.
- Meditate for 5-10 minutes a day.
- Exercise 30 minutes a day.
- Participate in hobbies.
- Get enough sleep, eat a healthful diet, and exercise.
- Talk to family and friends. If you are having a hard time coping, feel overwhelmed, or experience symptoms of depression for at least 2 weeks, talk to your doctor.

Gusty Wind Pushes Ice Onto Shore and Into Houses on Mille Lacs Lake [VIDEOS]
Cold and windy conditions and ice still covering many Minnesota lakes made fishing opener an uneventful day for many anglers. While ice hampered fishing plans, it also damaged buildings along the shore of Lake Mille Lacs.
Gusty north winds around 40 miles per hour pushed sheets of ice ashore at Izaty's Resort on Mille Lacs lake, leading to some minor damage and piles of ice against some buildings at the resort. The videos below capture just how quickly the ice came ashore, with it only taking about five minutes to encroach onto the shore and press up agains buildings.

News Release: July 18, 2013
Docket No. RM13-17-000
Item No. M-1
FERC Proposes To Remove Communications Barriers Between Gas Pipelines, Electric Utilities
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) today proposed to remove potential barriers to communication between interstate natural gas pipelines and electric transmission operators to promote reliable service and operational planning.
The Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) providing explicit authority to interstate natural gas pipelines and public utilities that own, operate or control interstate electric transmission facilities to voluntarily share non-public, operational information they determine would help to promote reliable service on their systems.
The NOPR proposes to prohibit recipients of this information from disclosing any of that information to an affiliate or a third party. This proposed No-Conduit Rule would add to safeguards against disclosure already in place, while promoting reliable service.
Comments on the proposed rule are due within 30 days of publication in the Federal Register.
All comments should reference Docket No. RM13-17-000 and may be submitted electronically via the eFiling link on the Commissions website at www.ferc.gov or submitted by postal mail to FERC; Secretary of the Commission; 888 First Street, NE; Washington, DC 20426.

About a dozen people hurt when deck collapses
STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. (AP) — Fire officials say a deck collapsed during a house party in suburban Atlanta and about a dozen people were injured, including several people who were burned by a grill.
The other injuries were described as mostly cuts and bruises. DeKalb County fire Capt. Eric Jackson tells WGCL-TV (http://bit.ly/1geSEUH ) poor construction could have led to the collapse Saturday night at a house in Stone Mountain.
Witnesses say people were grilling on the deck. Althea Brewster told the television station that they were celebrating her sister's birthday. She says speakers fell on her husband's head when the deck collapsed.

Although West Chicago resident Norina Infusino had never before participated in a pageant, she decided to take a leap of faith in July 2012 and compete for a spot on the Queen's Court of the Columbus Day Parade in Chicago.
Infusino wanted to try something new that would push her out of her comfort zone. She never thought she'd be named a semi-finalist, but she was.
"I was just happy to be participating in the pageant," said Infusino, 24. "I didn't even expect to place."
After participating in last year's parade and attending other events as part of the Queen's Court, Infusino competed in the pageant again this year and won first runner-up.
"I was just very surprised and excited, and I felt wonderful being a part of it," she said.
This year's Columbus Day Parade will take place Oct. 14 in Chicago.
The Queen's Court competition is open to any young woman between the ages of 18 and 25 who is at least 50 percent Italian and unmarried. It is sponsored by the Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans, a nonprofit based in the suburb of Stone Park.
Infusino, who is 75 percent Italian, said although she was raised with an appreciation for her heritage, the Queen's Court helped her to value her culture even more.
Infusino's family is proud of what she has achieved in being named to the Court for two consecutive years, especially since she wasn't expecting to win.
"Everything she does, she puts everything she has into it," said her mother, Janice Infusino.
Infusino graduated from Community High School in West Chicago in 2007 and received her associate's degree in business from the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn.
Now, she is a project manager for First Priority DKI, a home disaster restoration company in South Elgin.
As a project manager, Infusino is charged with making sure everything goes according to plan, from scheduling a project at someone's home to making sure the client is happy with the work to keeping everyone on track with a set timeline.
Although her job is challenging, she said she's enjoyed the learning experience.
"I love it," Infusino said. "I love this job."
Infusino plans to participate in the Columbus Day Parade pageant again next year. Since she'll be 25 years old, it will be her last time competing, but Infusino has already taken away many gifts from her years with the Queen's Court.
"I left with new friends that I'm still friends with today, I'm more appreciative and understanding of my culture, and I'm more confident since joining the pageant," she said.
