RICHMOND — A supervisor with the food stamps unit of the Contra Costa Employment and Human Services Department was arrested Thursday on charges of embezzling thousands of dollars in public funds, falsifying records and identity theft.
Tina Crosby, 46, was arrested after a joint investigation by the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office and the department's fraud unit. An investigation showed that the woman, while working at a computer at the department's Richmond office, reopened a previously closed file and made false entries resulting in unauthorized benefits of $1,082 in cash aid and $1,826 in unauthorized Electronic Benefit Transfer card benefits, authorities said.
The District Attorney's office also stated that the investigation revealed that Crosby had made numerous additional deposits of public funds to the fraudulent card account.
Crosby also is accused of making cash withdrawals and grocery purchases with the card, according to the District Attorney's office.
The total amount of public assistance embezzled was nearly $5,400, officials said.
Crosby has been charged with four felonies and faces a maximum of four years in state prison if convicted.
Suspected public assistance fraud can be reported to the District Attorney's Office at 925-957-8604.

Thanksgiving was a big day for eating, football, eating, parades, eating and uploading photos to Instagram.
Facebook's mobile photo sharing service said a new Instagram record was set Thursday when more than 10 million photos tagged with Thanksgiving-themed words were uploaded.
The uploading peaked at 226 photos per second about 12:40 p.m., presumably after the first wave of eating took place and before food comas set in. The number of photos doubled from the day before, although that was still just a fraction of the average of 300 million photos uploaded per day on Facebook.
Critics will point out that Thanksgiving was like any other day on social networks – nothing but posts, tweets and photos of what people are eating. In this case, they're sort of right – there were a ton of shots were of turkeys, cranberries, hams, yams and pies.
But if you look at many of the shots shared on Instagram, and further shared via Twitter and Facebook itself, you'll mostly see pictures of people – families and friends getting together to celebrate what they're thankful for.
Collectively, the photos showed a second-by-second snapshot of how people across America were observing the holiday – at least until they all ran out to the malls seeking early Black Friday discounts.

WHO traditional medicine strategy
The objective of the strategy is to discuss the role of traditional medicine in health care systems, current challenges and opportunities and WHO's role and strategy for traditional medicine. Many Member States and many of WHO's partners in traditional medicine (UN agencies, international organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and global and national professional associations) contributed to the Strategy and have expressed their willingness to participate in its implementation. The Strategy was reviewed by the WHO Cabinet in July 2001 and, based on Cabinet comments, has since been revised. The Strategy was printed in January 2002. Since this is at present a working document, the proposed objectives and activities have started to be implemented in early 2002 and the Strategy will be widely disseminated. We understand that the situation in the use of traditional medicine is quite different from country to country and region to region. For example, in AFRO and in WPRO, the Member States consider that traditional medicine is a priority for health care in their regions, but in other regions the role of traditional medicine is treated as complementary or alternative medicine.

Challenges to Human Security in the Arab Countries
In Arab countries, a widespread lack of human security undermines human development, according to the Arab Human Development Report 2009: Challenges to Human Security in the Arab Countries. This report is prepared by independent scholars drawn from the region. The report argues that human security is a prerequisite for human development, and that the widespread absence of human security in Arab countries undermines people's options. Human security refers not only to questions of survival, but also basic needs such as access to clean water and quality of life concerns. Human security in the Arab countries is often threatened by unjust political, social, and economic structures; by competition for power and resources among fragmented social groups; and, in some cases, by the impacts of external military intervention.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Oracle Corp Chief Executive Larry Ellison said the software maker had considered building its own smartphone to compete with Apple Inc and Google Inc, but decided it was a "bad idea" after a weeks-long cost and market analysis.
As part of that exhaustive internal analysis, he said, Oracle had pondered at one point buying Blackberry-maker Research in Motion Ltd and Palm — a smartphone maker scooped up by Hewlett Packard Co.
On the second day of a legal battle between Oracle and Google over Java patents used in Android mobile software, Ellison added that Oracle felt it lacked in-house expertise on smartphones and hence considered acquisitions. But it ultimately decided to abandon the idea.

The Vandalia Ministerial Alliance this week announced the schedule and speakers for this year's Lenten Luncheon series.
The luncheons are held each Wednesday during Lent, beginning at noon and concluding by 1 p.m. They are held at a different church each week.
This year's theme is "Unity."
The following is this year's lineup:
Feb. 29 – First Christian Church (283-2001). Speaker: Scott Smith, First Church of God youth pastor.
By Karen Redfern
Evergreen Outreach met on Monday at First United Methodist Church's Wesley Hall, with Pam Childers on the piano.
Beulah Brown was the leader for the afternoon. All enjoyed the leadership and entertainment of these two great ladies.
As always, our dedicated servers, Marie Sutton, Erna Wasmuth, Ruth Ann Scott and Jeanne Schlicht, served some delicious cookies, which were enjoyed by all.
I don't envy Moses. He had a big job, but he also served a big God!
This became clear to me when I read the Old Testament book of Numbers.
By Karen Redfern
Evergreen Outreach had a lovely meeting on Monday afternoon at Wesley Hall, led by Joyce Staff.
Enjoying the program were residents from FAYCO, Vandalia Rehab and Brookstone.
Refreshments and drinks were served by volunteers Marie Sutton, Jeanne Schlicht, Erna Wasmuth and Ruth Ann Scott.
Birthdays for the week were: Louis Laster, Susan Tretter, Cindy Jarrett, James White, Dr. Don Rames, Helen Johnson, Maybelle Ledbetter and Bonnie Sharp.
Congratulations to all!
"For I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:11b-13).
By Karen Redfern
Evergreen Outreach was back at First United Methodist Church this week.
Cindy Hunter, the leader for the week, welcomed everyone. The crowd enjoyed the fantastic music of SoftFire, as David and Patricia Pence played a variety of songs, including "Jesus, Prince of Peace," "Holy, Holy, Holy," "Onward Christian Soldiers," "At the Cross" and "Power in the Blood."
I was listening to a talk radio station in the car where the host of this particular program was interviewing a person who was working toward getting the word "God" out of the pledge of allegiance.
By Mary Woolsey
Evergreen Outreach met at Fayette County Hospital's Long Term Care this week.
Bemie Ray was seated at the piano playing beautiful songs from a list she had made. She needed no music sheets, but played the following from memory: "Love Letters in the Sand," "Alice Blue Gown," "Ole Shanty Town" and "Down Mexico Way."
Jesus broke new ground for religion when he welcomed the Wise Men of the East to his dwelling (Matthew 2).

Okay, this is where things are going to start to get a little weird… Now that my boys, Cyril and Willy have been kindly nominated for this very special and brand new Daisy Blogger Award by the lovely Subtle Kate, I have realised that I shall have to adopt the role of their spokesperson. But don't worry, I shall relate their answers straight from the invertebrates' mouths!
Here are the rules:
* Thank the person who nominated you.
* Tell your readers 7 unusual things about yourself.
* Nominate some worthy bloggers.
1. Cyril didn't always want to be a snail, he had big dreams of becoming a centipede because he has a secret shoe fetish. Alas, with no feet to speak of, he can only dream.
2. Willy and Cyril consider themselves to be ambassadors for vulnerable invertebrates everywhere.
3. Cyril is looking for love but it's not been easy for him.
4. The Spineless Wonders love spending their evenings at The Cavern where they have seen all sorts of impressive music acts. Just you wait and see! says Willy.
5. Cyril and Willy are from the garden. It doesn't have a specific geographic location, at least not that they're aware of. It's just a crazy wilderness where the boys have had and continue to have loads of wild adventures!
6. Willy considers himself to be the funniest critter in anyone's garden and refuses to even crack a grin if he thinks it's possible for another bug to be funnier than him.
7. Willy is sometimes mean to Cyril. Don't worry, Cyril can give as good as he gets. But really they're best friends.
The Spineless Wonders' Nominees:
Claire Cappetta – She's putting herself and her work out there and is a brave individual who recently tried her hand vlogging for the first time. Good for you, Claire!
Maggie Myklebust – Not everyone would openly put their life out their in black and white for the scrutiny of the public. But she has and she's written a real winner!
Carlarenee – With her very personal, reflective blogs, Carla is dealing with her own issues in a very open, honest way. Her 30 Days of Creativity and Thanks etc are very inspiring.
Subtle Kate – The lady who invented this award in the first place and is perhaps the bravest one of us all! Go you, I admire the way you're getting yourself through this.
Thanks for our very first award, Kate! Thanks as well to all our readers for the Follows and the Comments. We're not too bothered, I mean it's just the random stuff we do everyday but Ms Katykins seems to appreciate it!
The Spineless Wonders 🙂

Remember some of the great bands of the 60's and 70's? Three Dog Night, Led Zepplin, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Rare Earth, and even the Monkees? What songs do you remember? Probably, songs they recorded during that specific period.
Then think about the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Elton John, or Dylan, and what do you remember? Chances are, you remember something much more recent. That's because most of the great bands of the 60's and 70's got stuck. They couldn't break out of the era of their initial success. Sure they continue to play, but while they used to pack any arena in America, today you'll probably find them performing at State Fairs or Indian Casinos.
On the other hand, in spite of their age, the Stones, McCartney, Elton John, and a handful of others are still booking world tours in massive arenas, and have a new generation of fans. Why?
Some bands manage to reinvent themselves. They keep from getting stale, or locked into the period when they experienced their initial or biggest success. It's no different for any creative artist, leader, writer, filmmaker – even pastor. The truth is, the world changes, culture changes, tastes change, and people change. As I said in my book "Jolt!": "Change is coming whether you like it or not, and whether you're ready or not."

Contrary to what some people think, reinvention doesn't mean compromise, or shifting from who you really are. So if you have a message and want to keep that message relevant, and continue finding an audience, here's 5 things to consider:
1) Be willing to take a risk. Success is comfortable, but to transition to a new generation, you need to be willing to try something new – and potentially fail in the process. Most of the major bands that continue to be relevant released a few dud albums over the years, but that didn't stop them from innovating. Keep exploring and trying something new.
2) You can't fake long term success. Sure, "The Last Train to Clarksville" was a huge hit, but years later, The Monkees couldn't replicate that success. Real talent carries you for the long haul.
3) Get out of the bubble. You may be the King of the Polka right now, but you need to know more about music than that. If you don't, a hotter polka artist will eat your lunch. In other areas, I know preachers who were successful in the 80's, who today couldn't draw a crowd if they set themselves on fire. Just because it worked 10 or 20 years ago, doesn't mean it will work today.
4) Plan for the future. My friend, Ralph Winter, who produced the blockbuster films "X-Men" and "Wolverine" says being successful in Hollywood isn't about knowing what's popular now. By the time you find the right story, develop pre-production, then film it, then do post production and distribution, a major film takes five or more years to bring to the market. Do you know what will be popular in your business five years from now? Start thinking ahead.
5) Finally, you may not like where the culture is going, but get used to it. Far too many talented people quit because they don't agree with what's popular, what's selling, or what works. See above: Change is coming whether you like it or not, and whether you're ready or not.
Remember – don't sell out. Don't compromise. But don't be arrogant either. After all, no matter how great your film idea, book, sermon, business – whatever – if nobody's listening, you've failed.

The world's most popular open source database
If you have problems compiling and have DEC CC and gcc installed, try running configure like this:
CC=cc CFLAGS=-O CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS=-O3 \ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
If you get problems with the
file, you can create and use a 'dummy'
c_asm.h file with:
touch include/c_asm.h CC=gcc CFLAGS=-I./include \ CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS=-O3 \ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
Note that the following problems with the ld program can be fixed by downloading the latest DEC (Compaq) patch kit from: http://ftp.support.compaq.com/public/unix/.
On OSF/1 V4.0D and compiler "DEC C V5.6-071 on Digital Unix
V4.0 (Rev. 878)," the compiler had some strange behavior
asm symbols).
/bin/ld also appears to be broken (problems
_exit undefined errors occurring while
linking mysqld). On this system, we have
managed to compile MySQL with the following
configure line, after replacing
/bin/ld with the version from OSF 4.0C:
CC=gcc CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS=-O3 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
With the Digital compiler "C++ V6.1-029," the following should work:
CC=cc -pthread CFLAGS=-O4 -ansi_alias -ansi_args -fast -inline speed \ -speculate all -arch host CXX=cxx -pthread CXXFLAGS=-O4 -ansi_alias -ansi_args -fast -inline speed \ -speculate all -arch host -noexceptions -nortti export CC CFLAGS CXX CXXFLAGS ./configure --prefix=/usr/mysql/mysql \ --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static --disable-shared \ --with-named-thread-libs="-lmach -lexc -lc"
In some versions of OSF/1, the
function is broken. Fix this by removing the line in
config.h that defines
alloca() function also may have an
incorrect prototype in
/usr/include/alloca.h. This warning
resulting from this can be ignored.
configure uses the following thread
libraries automatically:
--with-named-thread-libs="-lpthread -lmach -lexc
When using gcc, you can also try running configure like this:
CFLAGS=-D_PTHREAD_USE_D4 CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS=-O3 ./configure ...
If you have problems with signals (MySQL dies unexpectedly under high load), you may have found an OS bug with threads and signals. In this case, you can tell MySQL not to use signals by configuring with:
CFLAGS=-DDONT_USE_THR_ALARM \ CXXFLAGS=-DDONT_USE_THR_ALARM \ ./configure ...
This does not affect the performance of MySQL, but has the side effect that you can't kill clients that are "sleeping" on a connection with mysqladmin kill or mysqladmin shutdown. Instead, the client dies when it issues its next command.
With gcc 2.95.2, you may encounter the following compile error:
sql_acl.cc:1456: Internal compiler error in `scan_region', at except.c:2566 Please submit a full bug report.
To fix this, you should change to the
directory and do a cut-and-paste of the last
gcc line, but change
-O0 (or add
immediately after gcc if you don't have any
-O option on your compile line). After this
is done, you can just change back to the top-level directory
and run make again.

Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III has extra time to get ready for the opener.
At least an extra day.
The first Monday Night Football game of the year will feature the Eagles at the Redskins, by which time we'll know if RG3 is ready to keep a fast pace in his return from a knee injury.
As has become tradition, ESPN gets to open with a doubleheader, with the Texans at the Chargers in the nightcap.
They also close strong, with an NFL Championship Game rematch (Falcons at 49ers) on Dec. 23.
Time has a way of making games that look good in April look bad later in the year, but it appears to be a solid slate for a network that has been left with some bad matchups in recent years.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College women's cross country got the 2011 season under way Friday afternoon, taking second place in the Third Annual Bobcat Invitational. Sophomore Allison Lones (Kathleen, Ga.) and senior Karissa Ekstrom (Alpharetta, Ga.) paced the Bobcats with their fifth and sixth place finishes.
Lones blistered the 5K course at 21:27, with Ekstrom coming in just 21 seconds later.
Sophomore Ashton Passino (Alpharetta, Ga.) also ran a solid race finishing slightly behind Ekstrom with a time of 21:55, good for seventh.
The Bobcats continued to finish in waves as freshman Rebecca Shane (Lilburn, Ga.) took eighth place with her time of 21:58. Junior Courtney Timmerman (Dearing, Ga.) finished off the scoring for GC with her time of 22:09 and 10th place finish.
Georgia College picked up 36 team points, falling just short of Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) who totaled 21.
The top eight finishers hailed from Georgia College and SCAD, with the Bobcats adding one more in the top-10.
The Bobcat women will head to the UC Irvine Invitational Saturday, Sept. 10.

Call her the Gene Genene?
In an unexpected bit of news today, Glide Magazine is reporting that Aaron Freeman, also know as Gene Ween of the long-running band Ween, is undergoing a sex change.
The story came about after Freeman posted a song called "Genene" (which you can listen to below) on his personal Soundcloud page. Freeman, who'd left Ween earlier this year and released a solo album titled Marvelous Clouds, told Glide that he was in Belgium for "a transformative procedure."
Nonetheless, Freeman went on to discuss with Glide what was up with the the new track.
"This song is left to interpretation on purpose," he said of "Genene," which may or may not also be the new name Freeman is adopting. "To me, it's just an honest song about where I'm at: creepy, real and pretty, just the way I like it."
Freeman also added, "On one hand it's about change and acceptance on a personal, spiritual level but can obviously be interpreted literally as a sex change."
Update: Ween's longtime manager Greg Frey, however, tells EW that Freeman's was likely pulling Glide's leg, and that he doubts that the sex-change story is true.
You can give the track a spin below:
If Freeman isn't pulling a prank, he wouldn't be the only notable artist to announce a sex change in 2012. Earlier this year, Tom Gabel of Against Me! started a new life as Laura Jane Grace, and director Larry Wachowski came out as Lana Wachowski.

That's a good question. I mostly dream in Dutch but sometimes I also dream in English. I once had a dream wherein I dreamed I spoke Dutch, English and French. When I woke up I realized I had actually formed the right sentences in French. I pronounce languages so much better while I'm asleep then in reality.paramore wrote: I have a question for those people that do have speak more then one language. What language do you dream in? I mean, for example if you are Italian and now live in North America and speak more English than your native tongue... Would you still dream in Italian, English, or both?

Central Bank Secrecy and Corruption
End the Fed
by Matt Stoller
"We probably know more about tribes in the Amazon jungle than we do about the real nature of power in the United States. Neither political science, nor history, nor economics do very well on this." ~ Tom Ferguson
Something new is happening around the contours of monetary policy. It's becoming part of our popular political landscape. We saw this a few weeks ago, when Sarah Palin injected into the 2012 presidential race the idea of fundamentally reorganizing the Federal Reserve's mandate. Republican Mike Pence, Senator Richard Shelby, and a host of other Republicans have jumped on this concept, and there will soon be legislation introduced to make this happen.
Beyond Republican politicians, the public is beginning to rethink our monetary order. A YouTube video on quantitative easing has over 3 million views. The video slams the Fed for missing the dotcom bubble, the subprime crisis, for being fundamentally undemocratic and unaccountable, and for being engaged in collusive dealings with Goldman Sachs. Financial blogs and CNBC discuss the Fed, and its associated characters, with deep insight and passion. And Bernanke drew 30 no votes in his confirmation hearing in 2009, the most ever for such a position, just four years after drawing almost none. The market nearly crashed on the possibility that Bernanke's nomination would fail before the White House stepped up aggressive lobbying efforts. On the left, the last few years saw a remarkable grassroots coalition of economists and activists to bring transparency to the central bank, joining a long-sought libertarian crusade. I was a staffer for Rep. Alan Grayson, who was working with that coalition to require an independent audit of the Federal Reserve. Tomorrow, because of provisions put into Dodd-Frank by Senator Bernie Sanders and Congressmen Grayson and Ron Paul, the Federal Reserve will release details of its 2007-2010 emergency loans to the web.
This network of politicians, advocates, and bloggers will go to town on whatever revelations come out of that. (Although the Fed obnoxiously put its Maiden Lane disclosures in a non-copy or printable PDF format, so we'll see how easy they make it to get this info.) The defenders of technocracy are out in force as well. Paul Krugman is defending the institution, if not every decision. The Democratic partisan class is going after right-wing Fed critics, while more liberal independents are pointing to the Fed in the 1940s and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation as a very different monetary model. Not since the populist movement of the 1890s has there been this much discussion of monetary structures among the public, and so much dissent about how money is created and circulated throughout the economy. It's happening for a reason. The public is now paying attention to finance. We ran a focus group in Orlando last year, and one of the surprising conclusions was that nearly every independent voter knew who Ben Bernanke was. People don't like the structure of our financial oligarchy, and they are talking about it. Even the deficit hysteria and the Fannie/Freddie GSE fights are a function of this monetary debate.

Former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez already is behaving like everyone else in jail: He's claiming he didn't do it.
In a letter written by Hernandez and sent to a fan who is corresponding with the fallen NFL star, Hernandez says he is "NOT GUILTY." (Not to be confused with "absolutely, 100 percent not guilty.")
The letter, obtained by TMZ and verified as legitimate, was sent to a fan named "Karl" who wrote Hernandez first.
Here's the full text of the response from Hernandez:
"Your letter meant alot and was very true! I know everything happens for a reason and I know 'God' has a plan for me and something good will come out of this. The world just makes things out of false accusations and it will all die down especially when they say NOT GUILTY and all the people who turned on me will feel like crap. I've always been a great person an[d] known for having an amazing heart! I am a strong person and nothing will break me! A C.O. [correctional officer] will never nor can they say now for one day have I been down or not with a smile on my face. I know there is a reason I'm going thru this and I will figure it out through my relationship with the Lord. I fell off especially after making all that money but when its all said and done 'God' put me in the situation for a reason. I'm humbled by this ALREADY and this will change me forever. At least I'll know my true supporters. Thanks for being one of them!"
Hernandez then signs his name, with an 81, and adds: "Can't wait to sign this again when I'm playing again an[d] prove all the haters and down talkers WRONG."
At the bottom, Hernandez writes, "Keep this off social media PLEASE!"
In fairness to Karl, giving (selling?) the letter to TMZ doesn't constitute putting the letter on social media.
The letter from Hernandez doesn't contain any new revelations, nor does it attempt to provide an alternative explanation as to how a guy who was with Hernandez in the final minutes of his life ended up dead less than a mile from Hernandez's house, if Hernandez if, as he puts it, "NOT GUILTY."

I agree, they must be two different cars. But I don't think they pulled the backlight and were sitting on the package tray. The guy seems to be too far off to the side for that. Maybe they pulled the trunklid and he's standing in the trunk.

com.apple.AppleFileServer[8123] MDSChannelPeerCreate: (os/kern) invalid argument MDSChannelPeerRef MDSChannelPeerCreate(CFAllocatorRef, CFDictionaryRef): (os/kern) invalid argumentI see them frequently when we're using dynamic or shared storage (e.g. Xsan or removable media) to share volumes between multiple computers and then share those shared volumes to clients through a network sharing protocol (e.g. afp or smb). They usually mean that the system doesn't have enough permissions to do those MDSChannelPeerCreate processes. Therefore, we need to open those permissions up a little and then let the file sharing services restart. I usually do it this way:
serveradmin stop afp
serveradmin stop smb
chown -R root:staff /Volumes/VOLUMENAME/.fseventsd
chmod -R 770 /Volumes/VOLUMENAME/.fseventsd
chown -R root:staff /Volumes/VOLUMENAME/.Spotlight-V100
chmod -R 770 /Volumes/VOLUMENAME/.Spotlight-V100
chown -R root:staff /Volumes/VOLUMENAME/.dbfseventsd
chmod -R 770 /Volumes/VOLUMENAME/.dbfseventsd
serveradmin start afp
serveradmin start smb
You can do any of the other hidden directories if that doesn't correct the errors as well, but those are the main ones that should impact MDS. MDS is the metadata search processes, which power Spotlight. If you see these processes running at a high load then you're likely in the process of indexing. If you see these as errors in the logs then you might not have permissions to objects. Those permissions could be to the files that are attempting to be indexed or they could be to the locations where that indexed data or other requirements are stored. While I've used root and staff above, take note that there's a _spotlight user that can be used as part of an ACL. The ACE for the _spotlight user is usually enabled by default, so in the event that you get these MDS errors, it's usually due to the fact that we, as naturally suspicious systems administrators took some permissions away somewhere or got overly cautious with our permissions. I do it all the time…

AMHERST, Mass. – Priscilla M. Clarkson, 66, dean of Commonwealth Honors College at UMass Amherst, Distinguished Professor of kinesiology, nationally recognized researcher in muscle function, and alumna of UMass Amherst, died at her home in Leverett on Aug. 25 after a long battle with breast cancer.
In her 36-year career at UMass Amherst, Clarkson rose to the top ranks in her field, authoring more than 200 scientific publications and becoming a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine, where she also served multiple roles, including as national president and as foundation president. She founded and ran the Muscle Biology and Imaging Lab at UMass Amherst and was well known for her work in muscle function and dysfunction. As a researcher and faculty member, Clarkson mentored countless graduate and undergraduate students.
The campus awarded Clarkson the Chancellor's Medal in 1997 and the university named her a Distinguished Professor in 2008. She was appointed dean of Commonwealth Honors College in 2006. She was a triple alumna of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, having earned her undergraduate degree in 1969, her master's degree in 1973 and her Ph.D. in 1977.
"We are tremendously saddened by the loss of Priscilla Clarkson, particularly as it coincides with the opening of the new Commonwealth Honors College Residential Community, for which she was a tireless champion and advocate," says Kumble R. Subbaswamy, UMass Amherst chancellor. "She fully realized the power of strong collaboration between the academic and residential aspects of a university, and this new complex will honor her work and vision by serving as a model for undergraduate education in both universities and honors colleges nationally. Her spirit and love of learning will be deeply missed."
James V. Staros, provost and senior vice chancellor for academic affairs, says Clarkson also played a critical role in the academic development of the campus by forging new partnerships with campus departments. "Dean Clarkson was a key partner in developing the new joint faculty hires between academic departments and Commonwealth Honors College," Staros says. "She understood how this system adds strategically to the campus's tenure-track faculty and deepens the campus's research and teaching strengths, while adding to the educational depth made available to honors college students."
Clarkson was known for her incisive mind, creativity, drive, warmth, and tenaciousness, says Daniel Gordon, associate dean of Commonwealth Honors College. "She was absolutely driven to tackle whatever challenge lay before her, and if one approach didn't work, she was more than ready to try another," Gordon says. "Anyone who ever interacted with her recognized the effectiveness of her engaging personality, her willingness to consider multiple perspectives and her persistence."
Recent graduate and former Student Advisory Board member Alex Nemtzow recalled Clarkson as someone who was genuinely responsive to students. "When the board asked for a space to call our own, her response was to encourage us to write a proposal. She did an amazing job of both listening to us and encouraging us to advocate for what was important." He says Clarkson also served as key mentor for him and his brother while they were at UMass Amherst.
Patty Freedson, chair of the kinesiology department says, "I knew Priscilla for over 30 years. She was a friend and a mentor to me and she was always someone I could count on for encouragement and support. She was an amazing person whose tireless commitment and passion for training countless graduate and undergraduate students who have gone on to outstanding careers in science was second to none. I will always remember her for the grace and dignity she showed in everything she did and her legacy will live on in our department forever. I will always be grateful for having had the privilege of having her as a friend and colleague."
Clarkson served on the Massachusetts Governor's Panel to improve police training practices to prevent cases of rhabdomyolysis (muscle damage) leading to kidney failure during training. She has served as a scientific advisor to the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI), as a member of the Science Working Group at NASA to develop laboratories for Space Station, and as a scientific advisor to the National Space Biomedical Research Institute. She also served as a member of the NCAA Competitive and Medical Safeguards Committee, on the National Commission on Sports and Substance Abuse, and on a subcommittee of the Committee for Military Nutrition at the Institute of Medicine. She served on the Research Review Board of the Gatorade Sports Science Institute, the National Lipid Association Statin Safety: Muscle Expert Panel and the Scientific Advisory Committee for the Cooperative International Neuromuscular Research Group. She was editor of theInternational Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism for eight years, and editor-in-chief ofExercise and Sport Science Reviews.
Clarkson received the 1997 American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Citation Award, the 1999 New England ACSM Honor Award, the 2001 Excellence in Education Award from the Gatorade Sport Science Institute, the 2005 National ACSM Honor Award, and the UMass Amherst Graduate School Centennial Award in 2008. In 2007 she gave the keynote Wolffe Lecture at the National ACSM meeting in New Orleans, attended by 5,000 members. She was heavily involved with the New England Chapter of ACSM (NEACSM) and served as its president in 1995. In recognition of her service to the chapter, in 2010 the NEACSM named one of the annual meeting's lectures the Clarkson Keynote Lecture.
She served as associate dean for the UMass Amherst School of Public Health and Health Sciences. She maintained a lifelong involvement in classical ballet, including as a performer, choreographer, board member and president of the Pioneer Valley Ballet, and co-author/editor of books in dance medicine. She also held a deep love of animals, especially her three dogs, two cats and the birds that visited her yard.
She leaves her husband, Ronald Pipkin, professor emeritus of legal studies at UMass Amherst, her mother Mary Massei, and her brother Edward (Jay) Massei Jr., of Milbury. Gifts in her memory may be made to the Commonwealth Honors College Residential Community for a classroom in her honor; to the UMass Amherst kinesiology department's graduate endowment fund for a fellowship in her honor (at www.umass.edu/give ); the UMass Amherst Development Office, Memorial Hall, 140 Hicks Way, Amherst, Mass. 01003, or to the Dakin Animal Shelter.

Amy Skylar — Babe of the Day
When we first saw this picture of Amy she reminded us of Kristy Swanson, the original 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer.' We had a really big crush on Kristy Swanson. Apparently Amy gets that a lot.
A Philadelphia, PA native, Amy is a print and web model who has modeled for quite an impressive list of publications; Maxim and FHM online, to name a few.
Amy is perhaps best known for being a member of Mensa, the largest and oldest high-IQ society in the world. (Skylar has an IQ of 182.)
She is also a master fire-twirler, which sounds very exciting, though we're not entirely sure what it means. You'll see below that she also loves the metal band 'Steel Panther,' which makes us love her so much more.
Follow her on Twitter and check out her website to see more.

sometimes a map is finished and waits for a whole month before it's uploaded and sometimes it takes 1 week.
and that's not the biggest problem.
the thing that annoys me the most is what happens in beta. let's say a map gets released and it has a mistake in the xml that screws over all the games. the mapmaker might actually fix that within a couple of hours from the release but it can take 2 or more weeks before lack uploads the updated file.
and in that whole time the players get frustrated, the mapmakers get frustrated and the map is hurt because for 2 weeks very few people will play it and those that do will only do it once.
Just to let you know.....It's at least 4 months that I'm asking (and waiting) such tool.

We (admins and myself) already find an agreement for this issue, so it's not a problem at all.

Real-time Linux and Java
Novell has recently introduced SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time (SLERT) version 10 (http://www.novell.com/products/realtime/), and has been showcasing it at its Brainshare 2008 conference (http://www.novell.com/brainshare/) in Salt Lake City this week.
This version of SUSE Linux contains kernel updates and POSIX real-time (http://www.xtrj.org/collection/posix_rtos.htm) support to run applications with temporal correctness conditions (TCC). For instance, if your application is required to respond to events within a certain timeframe (by a deadline), then you need to run in an environment that supports real-time application execution.
Requirements include true thread priority implementation with pre-emption, as well as priority inversion control, just to name two. Standard Linux does not guarantee that a thread with a higher priority will always pre-empt a thread with a lower priority. Also with standard Linux, and just about any other general purpose OS, there is a chance that a lower priority will block higher priority threads due to locking if shared resources are involved. SLERT fixes both of these, and guarantees that higher-priority threads will always pre-empt lower priority threads.
SLERT implements advanced features such as adaptive locking, and CPU shielding, to further improve overall system throughput and latency while obeying applications' real-time requirements.
Novell was also able to demonstrate two important features in SLERT:
1) CPU shielding: A process, or an individual thread of a process, can be assigned to a processor or processor set, even while the process is running. That set of processors (or cores) can then be shielded from running any other applications except the one you assign it. Additionally, you can assign the shielded process to the processors or cores that are not handling interrupts. (In the Linux kernel, one processor, or core, is assigned to handle interrupts at startup, and this cannot be changed while the system is running.) You can dynamically make changes to the settings while the process is running, and save the settings to be remembered the next time the process is launched.
2) On-the-fly priority assignment: With a running process, threads can be identified and have their priorities set to any level, even the highest the system supports. The priority settings can then be saved, and the system will automatically set them accordingly the next time the process is launched.
At Brainshare 2008, Sun joined Novell and demonstrated their Java Real-Time System for Linux on SLERT (http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/realtime/index.jsp). In conjunction with the OS implementation for real-time support, to run a Java application, the underlying virtual machine must also conform to POSIX real-time requirements. Sun's Java RTS complies with the Real-Time for Java (RTSJ) Specification, and includes a real-time scheduler, real-time garbage collector, new memory models for non-heap implementations, and so on, to achieve real-time behavior in your Java applications.
The combination of Java RTS on Solaris, and now on SLERT, offers application developers with real-time requirements, such as those in the financial, industrial automation, and military space, a choice to meet their TCCs.
Happy Coding!

I recently found a pretty neat little app called Xboot.
Basically it takes a bunch of your favorite bootable cds and puts them all onto one usb thumbdrive with a nice little menu to select which image you want to boot.
So you can easily have UBCD, Parted Magic, Backtrack, Ophcrack, Hirens, Trinity, and all your other favorite rescue/bootable cds.
You can even have a thumbdrive set up with install images, you could have ubuntu, gentoo, fedora, windows, etc all on one thumbdrive. you'd need a pretty big one but it is doable.
Theres plenty of great tools out there and now you don't have to carry around 50 thumbdrives to have them all with you.
Hak5 did a segment once on how to do this manually effictively, but this is much simpler and quicker. the only downfall is it doesn't seem to work with kon-boot. I've read a few people that have done things in grub involving remapping hard drive positions and got it to work, so it is possible, just not easy out of the box.
USB thumbdrive multiboot (Xboot)
All things software, Operating systems, virtualization, gaming, etc.

I could have continued in the last thread, but I'm hoping lots of people will chime in "I want that too.", and don't want that thread hijacked.
I am going to use BIBM for partitioning/cloning in UEFI/GPT systems, so I have BIBM on a flash drive.
I have systems where it is trivial to get the BIOS to boot legacy one time, and ones where it is near impossible. I have one netbook which won't boot the BIBM flash drive even in legacy mode, just says ".... 4.00" in the upper left corner and hangs. On all these systems, booting would be simpler if the flash drive booted in UEFI mode. I don't care about it being able to boot in secure boot, I can turn that off permanently.
So the feature request is to make it an option on the last page(seems the natural spot) of makedisk to make a dual boot UEFI/MBR booting disk, or an option for a UEFI booting disk.
Thanks for considering.

Dear Future Success Partner,
...Are you looking to work from home and make real money online? Have you gone through every ebook and video system giving it all you have but with no results?
Keep reading because this will completely change your outlook on everything…
What if I told you I make up to $6k a day with a simple system? Would you consider joining a webinar where you were literally walked through the process from the inside?
Here's the deal-
Believe it or not, most successful super affiliates weren't just handed the keys to the business and then left on their own. They had someone to hold their hand while they were getting started. After that, it was like riding a bike.
You might have seen or tried the push button "1 click" software, which is actually for intermediates. If you are just getting started, I can guarantee that you need a personal "Introduction" from someone who knows how to help, or you'll keep spinning your wheels.
8 Complete Sessions ($27 One Time Payment).
Thousands of people are making affiliate income online. It takes less than 30 minutes a day and requires no money. However, the truth is most of them had a mentor showing them everything, and that's where you have been at a disadvantage…until now.
In the Internet marketing world, we all know this fact-
Yes, that's really how it works, and in actuality, there's no other way. See, without a mentor, you will constantly be struggling, spending weeks and weeks of your time, with no sales, and ZERO guarantees that you will make any money at all.
And then, you have one consultation with an established professional, and you're making money within the hour.
In all honesty, it only takes one killer idea set into action the right way and the sales begin to flow in naturally. But without someone to show you how, it's like driving around without a map, and you'll keep buying into the "dream" without ever reaching it.
Now there's an alternative. A real solution that gives anyone the tools and knowledge needed to make a serious online income. Listen to what I'm about to share and you can be one of them!
Please allow me to introduce myself-
Since then, I have made millions of dollars online and I live a lifestyle most doctors and lawyers would dream of living.
I make an average of an astounding $6,328 per day on the Internet. I work from home and spend most of the day with my wife and newborn baby.
But you should know that before I got my online businesses, I had Agoraphobia, I went through a custody battle, my parents and family were broke most of my life, and I dropped out of high school to be in a rock band.
If you would give me 5 minutes here, I will explain how I created an internet income machine to the tune of $2,172,281 a year and also what makes this page extremely different than all the hyped up eBooks you are rightfully tired of seeing.
So here is the whole story-
After getting fired in 2004, I decided to build a website to sell my music. During my quest for payment processors, I came across ClickBank, and forked over my last $50 (the cost of a vendor account) so I could start processing payments online.
Completely by accident, I suddenly learned something very important-
I then put my $50.00 investment on hold and jumped on the bandwagon. It wasn't easy at first, until I started to ask questions and an experienced marketer took me under his wing.
With that information and guidance, I started making sale after sale, all from my bedroom in Queens, NY.
My first year, I made $50,000. The year after that, in 2006, I did $200,000! ClickBank was sending me checks every two weeks. I bought a BMW, paid off my remaining child support balance, and dedicated everything to affiliate marketing.
By 2006, I was a top 100 premier vendor at ClickBank and was invited by the CEO and VP to attend their party in Manhattan. While there, I learned a ton of valuable insight hanging out with the top guys.
From then on, I started winning awards, I was interviewed on TV numerous times as the "Wealthy Internet Kid", and Google certified me as an expert of AdWords. It was really incredible. By 2008, my income had skyrocketed past the $1,000,000 mark.
Each year, my income would double. It was amazing. By this time, I had many of my own websites on ClickBank that were driven by affiliates, and I had a $750,000 business just promoting affiliate offers without a website! I began doing launches and made one million dollars in ONE WEEK.
Then 2010 came along and I started teaching. The results were unbelievable. Any student who was willing to follow my instructions would get results. And it was not hard to get them. I found that my real passion in life was to teach, and to help people succeed online. And I truly love doing it.
These are actual case study results..
How do my students get clickthroughs that convert to cash like crazy?
And more importantly, how can you do the same thing for yourself?!
This student of mine had one thing which made all the difference... he had a 'hired gun' that gave him the ENTIRE system.
It was simply the benefit of direct experience (otherwise, the results won't be replicated).
That's why eBooks don't work-
It's true, isn't it? I mean, you and I both know that you don't get rich 'slaving away' at two jobs... you get rich following the proven steps laid down by successful people...
...and as you're about to discover, in 3D, you can use my class to make more money than you ever thought possible...
I coached a complete 'newbie' for six months straight. A big incentive for me was that I wanted to create a "partner." So I gave him enough for him to possibly become a competitor. (I need to be very careful about this.)
I taught him everything I knew about building a ridiculously profitable 'cash cow' online.
And the best part is... not only did Ian learn all my 'insider secrets'...
...He started making money immediately.
In my webinar, I just ask you to do a couple things on a call with me while these things bring floods of traffic to your affiliate link.
And we build a business together. It's as simple as that....
...Take a look at what else you will get with ImWithJamie..
* My Personal Guarantee: I WILL NOT STOP until I get you REAL results so you can send me a testimonial! :)
I know, I know.. this is so monumental that you probably can't even fathom it.
You are only a few seconds away from accessing an exclusive class that I am positively sure will blow your mind.
I have been dedicating my entire existence to teaching people just like you how to rake in thousands, if not millions, using the Internet.
And the money keeps pouring in for me and my students.
We stayed in a $3000 penthouse suite and rented a different sports car everyday while it stormed and snowed back at home in NYC.
Ask anyone-
Don't Lie To Yourself: The eBooks and videos do Not work. You NEED assistance from
an experienced online multi-
That's why I am doing an exclusive online marketing class where I personally assist
my students and ensure they are profitable using only 3 things-
Bottom line… I want to make sure my students start generating a massive income using the Internet.
Join me every week for as long as you want.
There are no strings and no risk for you-
You can't fail with this-
The IMWithJamie webinar is for you if you are just starting out, or if you already know your stuff, and just want an experienced marketer to act as your "partner".
Here are some of the methods you can expect to learn about: How to sell domain names, Article marketing, affiliate marketing, build a huge mailing list, copywriting, SEO, CPA marketing, PPC, subcontract big coding jobs, sell websites, how to build super profitable blogs, social marketing, Youtube marketing, Arbitrage, graphics, outsourcing, quick & easy free money, multimedia, and much more!
Basically, you will learn all of the methods I use to make all my money online.
Please be aware of what the IM With Jamie Webinar is NOT:
Easy. When you sign up, choose which day you want to meet with Jamie.
Then, we begin going through each money making step in great detail -
Each webinar will give you the knowledge and skills to copy my success, so you can quit your job, move into a nicer home, spend more time with your family, and never worry about bills again. Now the only other question is...
How much are you willing to spend for a ten million dollar man's business and a partnership with him? What would a 10lb. box packed with the actual business resources and videos showcasing the exact steps to making $2.2 MILLION a year be worth to you?
My students have paid $8,000 to $15,000 for a one-
So why do people keep throwing cash at me to teach them?
Because they know I'm the real deal.
(If you have ever watched any of my instructional videos, you already know that I'm one of the very few guys that actually DO make money right before your eyes.)
People are willing to pay me huge amounts of money because they know that my webinar
classes are straightforward and worth it-
No fluff.
No filler.
I won't sit there and describe "vague business philosophies."
Just hard hitting, profit pulling advice to turbo-
I want to give you an online business we watch grow together according to your demand
Look at how a countless number of people spend over $40,000 a year to go to college. And what do they get for it? A mediocre J.O.B. and a lifetime of student loans.
So ask yourself: how much is this system really worth to you?
I'll be honest, if I had this opportunity when I first started, I would gladly pay
$10,000 for it-
... and we both know the best investment is the one you make in yourself.
This system and the relationship with yours truly is easily worth $10,000 (and that's no exaggeration... my beta testers suggested this number), but I'm not asking for $10,000, or even half that.
If you're still reading this page, it tells me 2 things:
1) you are definitely serious about making an extraordinary income on the Internet
2) you have what it takes to make your online wealth a reality
For those two reasons, I am presenting you with a once-
If you make just a few sales a day using the proven, highly profitable techniques revealed in Wealth In A Box, it could more than pay for itself in a few weeks. And of course, you have the definite advantage that everything is yours for life... including 100% of the profits, which means it will likely pay for itself many, many times over again and again.
Plus, IMWithJamie is the only webinar that combines the basics of making money online with unique, advanced marketing concepts to skyrocket your business.
No other system provides the full 'entrepreneur's journey' from newbie to multi-
Think of IMWithJamie as your own 'income generator' that creates lasting wealth for you and your family, because you will be working side by side with an actual internet millionaire and you will be given resources that you can apply almost immediately.
And by the way, the lasting income stream will continue to run profitably on autopilot after we build it together!
You will also have your own collection of websites packed with profit-
But you must take action because there are limited spots available. The first step is for you to get in right now.
Still undecided? Here are some things to consider...
I do the work. You get the reward and all of the potential. Simple as that. Isn't it worth giving yourself this chance?
You may be skeptical, and I know if you've been looking to make money online for
some time now, you've probably been burned by people who 'over-
That's why I've been extra-
So, instead of 'empty promises' let me offer you something that I can keep-
Every Webinar is loaded with secret information and explosive interaction from start to finish. We don't just stop at hundreds a day, we build the business to fulfill maximum potential. We do not waste a second of your time. There's no 'filler material' added, and it's always LIVE!
From the very first webinar you attend, you will probably be surprised at the tremendous
amount of attention I will give your business. We leave no stone unturned, no topic
glossed over. You can expect easy to follow, straight-
I hope you watched the preview clips on this page to see the quality of Wealth In
A Box. We're 100% sure you're going to be floored by the high-
There has never been a system like this on the market. A system that incorporates
actual resources and 1 on 1 mentoring. You are here reading about this system for
a reason, and it is an exceptionally rare opportunity taught by an eight-
When you compare the fact that we regularly charge $8,000 for a package of these consultations, you realize what an absolute steal this really is!
If you've ever been stuck on a certain part of making money online (from market research, to building a website, to driving traffic to your site) this will finally give you the chance you've waited for to clear up your confusion once and for all. And if you're already making money online, I guarantee you'll learn some exciting advanced techniques that will shoot your profit into the stratosphere.
Techniques that can take you from a few hundred dollars a month to several thousand dollars a day. Once you understand this powerful business model, you'll realize how quickly this course can easily repay your investment thousands of times over.
But here's why it is essential for you to sign up right now-
If you take away nothing else away from this, please remember that you are not alone. I am right here waiting to unveil a whole new system that makes sense.

The Boulder City Council put off a decision Tuesday night on what metrics the city should use to determine if potential municipalization of the city's energy supply makes financial sense.
When voters narrowly authorized the city to pursue municipalization last fall, they approved a charter amendment that lays out the conditions under which the city could form its own energy utility. Those include being able to acquire the electrical distribution system and charge rates that don't exceed Xcel's rates at the time of acquisition, being able to guarantee those rates will be sufficient to cover operating expenses and debt payments, as well as an amount equal to 25 percent of debt payments, ensuring reliability comparable to Xcel and having a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase renewable energy sources.
The city also will have to present its evidence to an independent, third-party evaluator.
City officials had prepared specific metrics that they would use to determine if municipalization met those requirements, which are open to interpretation and can be calculated in a variety of ways.
However, some community members asked that the item be pulled from the agenda because they hadn't had time to review it, and some City Council members said the third-party evaluator should be able to come up with his or her own metrics.
The City Council expects to take the matter up again in November, most likely at the Nov. 15 meeting.

In sports, everyone is a winner-some people just win better than others. Like Lane Kiffin, who's already made a cannonball splash at USC thanks to an aspirational verbal commitment from a 13-year-old boy.
Yes, for all his flaws, Kiffin has managed to score a very lucrative I'd-play-for-USC from David Sills, the poise-blessed teenage quarterback from Bear, Delaware who is being promoted as the prodigal mash-up of Tiger, LeBron, Bryce Harper and Sunshine Bass from "Remember The Titans." But Kiffin's coaching track record drops a giant dictionary on the desk of this daydream: the chances of Kiffin holding the top spot at 'SC five years from now are highly unlikely. I wonder if Kiffin made Sills rip off his shirt? And how about that sign (above photo) seen flying over USC's campus last week? Wonder what that's about?
