Dedication, diligence and enthusiasm mark Public Safety coordinator
Not only is Frank Sugar the best-dressed Public Safety employee on the beat, he is also "conscientious, friendly, hard-working, and accountable," according to Babette Money, the recently retired Supervisor of Safety & Security.
Frank Sugar, center, soaks up the praise of his coworkers Babette Money, Lt. Kevin Smith, Vanessa Cummings and John Nestor, after receiving the Staff Employee of the Month award April 3.
Money nominated Sugar for Staff Employee of the Month, which he was given at the April First Wednesday meeting in the Conference Center Ballroom April 3.
Twenty-four-year employee Sugar is well known for his sharp dressing in a wide selection of pastel button-down shirts, but his daily work consists of making sure all "customers" of the Public Safety Department receive a quality experience when planning special events, including parking, signage, directions, and security.
Sugar has worked at Columbus State since 1989, serving in a number of positions ranging from police officer to lieutenant and interim director of Public Safety. Sugar graduated from Columbus State with a degree in Business and a minor in Law Enforcement in 1994. He also earned his Ohio Peace Officer Instructor certification, and has been a reserve Deputy Sheriff for Madison County for more than 10 years.
"Frank has balanced the department budget for the past several years," Money wrote. "Through his diligence and good planning, he has made sound judgments and recommendations for improvement in the department, and serves as a role model for other staff."
"Frank is my role model too," said John Nestor, Director of Public Safety, at the SEOM ceremony.
"He is graceful and tactful when under pressure," continued Money. "Frank can be depended upon to solve any problem, follow up with the customer, and inform his supervisor when the issue is resolved. Frank brings the college spirit to work every day!"
In-Service Day features break-out sessions, Wellness Fair, donations
The annual Spring In-Service Day for all fulltime employees will be held Friday, April 12 starting at 9:00 a.m. with a General Session by Dr. Harrison in the Gymnasium.
The day will begin with the opportunity to donate to a great cause: Goodwill Industries of Columbus. From 7:30 to 9:00 a.m., and again from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., a truck from Goodwill will be parked in front of Davidson Hall to collect our donations of clothing and small household items. Goodwill uses 82 percent of the revenues from its thrift stores to fund employment and training programs for the disabled. In return for our donations, the college will receive clothing vouchers that can be used by eligible Columbus State students and employees.
From 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., employees will also be able to attend a Wellness Resource Fair in the lower level of Nestor Hall. Stop in and visit with representatives from campus and community groups who will offer information from organizations such as UHC, American Diabetes Association, and Punch Fitness. See demonstrations of Zumba and line dancing, meditation and Tai Chi. And register to win door prizes including a mountain bike!
After Division meetings from 11:00 to 12:00 noon, trek on over to the Parking Garage where lunch will be served until 1:30 p.m. by our very own Hospitality Management students and faculty. The menu includes salad, penne pasta with grilled veggies, chicken parmesan, roast beef, side dishes, breads, beverages, and a yummy dessert of some kind—you'll have to wait and see!
At 1:30 p.m., Student Affairs, Academic Affairs and College Support departments will attend break-out sessions ranging from several sessions on Achieving the Dream data collection and analysis; to Active Shooter Training for faculty, led by Chief of Police Sean Asbury. A full chart of sessions can be found on the program page for In-Service Day. The department meetings and breakout sessions will conclude at 4:50 p.m.
Spring Commencement to move to Celeste Center at Ohio Expo grounds in May
Columbus State's Spring Semester Graduation Ceremony will take place at a new location—the cavernous Celeste Center on the grounds of the Ohio Expo Center, on 17th Avenue in Columbus.
A view of the Celeste Center set up for commencement for Westerville Central High School last year.
When Columbus State switched to semesters from quarters, the number of graduations was reduced from four to two ceremonies per year in May and December. The size of each ceremony was therefore predicted to increase, and the availability and size of Veterans Memorial was called into question.
So on Friday, May 10 , more than 900 graduates will earn their degrees in the Celeste Center, with room for all guests and dignitaries, as well as some ceremony improvements such as closed captioning, live video on big screens, a video livestream with interpreting to the web, and $5 parking in the expansive fairgrounds parking lots. Procedures and ceremonial details such as processional line-up, marching and stage set-up will remain very similar to all past graduations.
The guest speaker at Spring Commencement will be Tanny Crane, President and CEO of Crane Group. Crane joined the Crane Plastics Company in 1987 as director of Human Resources, and was promoted to vice president of Sales and Marketing in 1993. She became the president of Crane Plastics in 1996. In January, 2003, she succeeded Jameson Crane to her current position. She is chair of the Board of Directors for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, and director on the Board of Wendy's International. She is also a member of the Dean's Advisory Council of the Fisher College of Business at The Ohio State University, sits on the Board of the United Way of Central Ohio, is a member of the Columbus Partnership and the Columbus Foundation, and sits on the Board of the Greater Columbus Chamber of Commerce.
If you have any questions about the upcoming May 10 Commencement Ceremony, please contact Suzanne May, in Marketing & Communications.
2013/2014 College Catalog now online
The new College Catalog for the 2013/2014 academic year is now online for viewing in PDF format. The printed version will soon be available.
Columbus State Bookstore named to National Retailer Honor Roll
Columbus State's Bookstore has been named one of 17 college stores on the National Association of College Stores (NACS) Honor Roll. The organization gives a Retailer of the Year award to the one store that demonstrates the highest level of collegiate retailing excellence based on six criteria: campus connection, academic support, customer commitment, shopping experience, workplace culture, and profitability. This year's winner was The Forty-Niner Shops Bookstore, California State University, Long Beach. But because of the overall high quality of entries this year, the award selection committee named 17 additional stores to the CROY Honor Roll, including Columbus State!
Ideas to Go: Can blue and white be green? Defining sustainability at Columbus State
As an institution--and for many of us as individuals--we value, support, and practice sustainability. But what does it mean to be sustainable? Can our individual, departmental, and institutional actions make a difference? How do we create a culture that encourages sustainable behavior? We'll begin a conversation on these big issues at the next Ideas to Go, Tuesday, April 23, at 12:00 p.m. in WD 1094.
Reflecting on definitions provided by U.S. and international agencies, we'll discuss our understanding of sustainability. We'll discuss whether it can be scaled to a college-wide level, and the challenges and opportunities for doing so. We'll conclude with discussing ideas for ongoing green networking, dialogue, and action. Nichole Braun, academic advisor, and Hari Ruiz, Grants program coordinator, will lead the discussion. Register in advance.
Asbury speaks to Rotary Club on critical incidents
Chief Sean Asbury
Columbus State Chief of Police Sean Asbury was invited to give a presentation to the Columbus Rotary Club April 1 in one of his areas of specialty: "Responding to a Critical Incident - Active Shooter." Asbury has taught the course around central Ohio, and will give a similar talk to Columbus State faculty on In-Service Day, April 12.
Asbury's seminar includes information about what an individual should do if an active shooter enters their workplace. He teaches simple but highly effective strategies that will increase survivability during a crisis.
Asbury has 19 years of municipal and college law enforcement experience. He has worked for Columbus State for 4½ years, and prior to joining the college he was Deputy Chief of Police with the Riverside, Ohio Police Department.
Chief Asbury is a certified instructor through the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy (OPOTA) and has taught at several Police Academies throughout Ohio.

History of the Law School website
In 2008, the Law School participated in the re.web project -- a redesign of the William & Mary web site. Under the direction of Trotter Hardy and Jaime Welch-Donahue, the new Law School site was redesigned and launched on September 30, 2008. Nearly all law school administrators worked on writing and re-writing (maybe that's why we call it "re.web") these new web pages. We welcome your comments - [[marouette,email us]].
A History of the Law School Website
The 2001 redesign of the William & Mary School of Law website focused on making the site increasingly effective, compelling, and information-rich by providing:
- useful information organization
- logical navigation and access throughout the site
- a visual look emphasizing simplicity and clarity
- a celebration of the people, spirit, and minds of the School of Law
- current news, events and content
- communication of our core missions
The 2003 redesign made very modest changes to web page appearance, but major changes to the underlying HTML code to comply with current web standards.
The 2005 redesign continued the apparently never-ending task of bringing all pages into compliance with web standards in general, and initiated the task of bringing pages into compliance with the XHTML standard in particular. Newly created page templates were built that rely much less on the direct specification of text styles (with typically heavy use of <font> tags), and much more on the use of external CSS style sheets. Several new styles and style sheets were developed. Many special-purpose pages were converted to make use of PHP scripts. A great deal of redundant HTML coding was cleaned up and simplified. Procedures for adding new web site sections were developed and standardized. A previously slender set of web policies was greatly expanded, and related new enforcement mechanisms put into place.
Most of these changes were invisible to web visitors, but the overall effect was that law school pages had smaller file sizes and hence downloaded more quickly.
In 2006, many more pages were altered to work better with CSS styles; the few pages still not based on Dreamweaver templates were edited to make them so; many more pages were taken out of the manual updating process and are were set up to be generated automatically by programs running elsewhere than the web server and copied to the server overnight; more pages were documented with explanations of the steps necessary to update or edit them, especially the faculty biography pages; the process of creating a new section for, say, a new student organization, was formalized and documented; more video files were added and the process for doing so was documented.

Christmas time in New York City is unlike any place else in the world. We take it very, very seriously. While rampant consumerism is probably the most prevalent aspect of the season, the decorations come in a close second. Recently, I visited a restaurant where holiday decor even gives my mother's decorations a run for their money (And she has an oversized fisherman Santa Claus riding a marlin. Think about that for a second).
For my birthday this past weekend, I asked my lady friend for only one thing: a surprise. So we headed out for dinner, and I asked her where we were going. She points ahead to Rolf's Bar & Restaurant, an authentic German dining experience. Needless to say, when I walked through the front door, I was very surprised. Here's why:
During our time inside, I heard that it takes the staff at Rolf's six weeks to put all of the decorations in this modest restaurant's interior. After spending an evening inside, I can see why. What was a simple German cuisine experience becomes transformed into a veritable wonderland of bright lights and shiny surfaces. The food only compliments the feeling of being part of a Christmas celebration in a small German village. My schnitzel was extraordinarily filling, and between that and the liter-sized beer, I was prepared to fall into a Christmas-induced coma right in my seat. However, this would not have been the worst thing, as I would get to snooze beneath all those brilliant lights.
Fröhliche Weihnachten!

Dir/scr: Roman Coppola. US. 2012. 86mins
Roman Coppola's second directorial outing, and his first for over ten years, is more of a sketch than a film – or rather a series of sketches, loosely illustrating the life and loves of a 1970s playboy graphic designer, played (in a piece of knowing, wink-wink casting) by Hollywood bad boy Charlie Sheen.
In a film where the production design has as much dramatic heft as the plot, relentless quirkiness swamps the audience's need to care for and identify with any of the characters.
If there's a tang of Wes Anderson here it's hardly surprising, as Coppola fils co-scripted that US maverick's last two live-action films, The Darjeeling Limited and Moonrise Kingdom. Those were whimsical and sometimes poignant children's stories for adults; this doesn't quite know what it wants to be, other than an affectionate homage to an era when White Russian cocktails were considered the height of sophistication.
On home ground, and to a smaller extent elsewhere, Sheen is a hot media property, a viral star whose every move is closely monitored by the gossip sheets and his many Twitter followers. Whether this will automatically translate into healthy business for A Glimpse… is a moot point: shot through with retro cinematic and pop-culture nostalgia, and rather too obviously in love with itself, this is a film designed, perhaps, for an older demographic than Charlie Sheen's default fanbase. It risks not quite pleasing either camp.
Loosely based on 1970s album cover designer Charles White III (and with an erudite nod, perhaps, at Proust's Charles Swann), Charlie Sheen's Charles Swan III is a sharp dresser, small-time playboy and serial womaniser who drives a vintage Cadillac with a fried egg decal down one side and bacon rashers down the other. In his spare time he runs a graphic design company in Los Angeles, housed in a space decked out in the poppy, cartoonish, back-to-the-thirties style of the mid-seventies, complete with hot-dog sofas and a vintage Greyhound bus (with bed in the back) that serves as his own personal office.
The film begins with an ending: Swan's break-up with his latest girlfriend Ivana (Winnick), who is disgusted by the nude pics of other women that he keeps in his photo drawer. Swan's subsequent attempt to dispose of Ivana's large collection of shoes from a balcony road leads to disaster when, somehow, he manages to back his Cadillac down a ravine and into a swimming pool. He's briefly hospitalised, but his physical injuries are as nothing compared to the pain of Ivana's departure.
We know that Swan is suffering only because he says as much to his hippy-chic sister Izzy (Arquette), his depressive financial adviser Saul (Murray, reprising a type we've seen him play more than a few times before), and his best friend Kirby (Coppola's cousin Jason Schwartzman), a Jewish musician and stand-up comedian.
Interleaved with this fragile storyline (and yes, the above is pretty much it) are fantasy sequences à la Walter Mitty, many of which revolve around old-school domineering women skits that come on as a cross between Benny Hill and a vintage Roxy Music album cover. In one, Swan is presented with the award for Best Bullshit by the Academy of Sexy Women; in another he and Kirby are cowboys encircled by an all-female posse of warlike injuns.
Some of this is mildly amusing, one or two scenes almost affecting, but never more than that. In the end, in a film where the production design has as much dramatic heft as the plot, relentless quirkiness swamps the audience's need to care for and identify with any of the characters, chief among them Sheen's smooth operator, who we know will get over Ivana soon enough.
The soundtrack by Liam Hayes (who records as Plush) carries echoes of the era, from Pink Floyd circa Dark Side of the Moon to soul blues. But the only time music really serves the film's dramatic arc is when the good times of the relationship between Ivana and Swan are evoked by another fantasy inset sequence in which the two perform a sweet, slightly cheesy cabaret-style version of Antonio Carlos Jobim's Aguas de Marco.

Hennessy horses combine the magnificence
and imaginative flare of traditional carved rocking horses
with Crayne
Hennessy's own sense of grace and precision.
Each heirloom rocking horse is individually sculpted,
hand painted and outfitted to perfection. These unique
handmade works of art are a pure joy for both children
and adults. For more information about ordering a custom-built
personalized rocking horse, start
Toy horses have been part of our lives
since early times. Placed on wheels, pulled by string, or
transformed into a stick horse to carry the imagination of
the rider, toy horses have enchanted the young for three
thousand years. Not only children, but adults too, delight
in play horses – Socrates
himself galloped about with his children on their hobbyhorse.
Imitation horses have amused, yet also trained and educated,
as in the Middle Ages when budding knights practiced jousting
on wheeled horses and later on carousels.
The 'rockinghorse' first appeared in seventeenth-century
Europe. Charles I of England had one as a boy, and his horse
survives to this day. Enormously popular throughout Georgian
and Victorian times in Britain, these toys also flourished
in Germany and in America until the midpart of this century,
when production of fine rockinghorses almost disappeared.
Yet, a revival in England during the last twenty years has
seen a remarkable resurgence of this historical and dearly-loved

Jimmy Fallon is going to jump in the lake.
The new "Tonight Show" host confirmed via Twitter on Monday morning that he'll join Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel in Sunday's Polar Plunge -- an annual winter dip into Lake Michigan that benefits the Special Olympics.
The tweets seem to put an end to the nearly week-long banter about the invitation between the two men on social media. And in true comedic style, Fallon even offered a catchy hashtag when he tweeted the news out to his more than 11 million followers: #SwimmyFallon. Fallon, who pledged to wear a suit and tie for the icy swim, offered a counter-challenger to the mayor, asking him to "show solidarity by wearing a necktie."
Chicago - I'm wearing a suit and tie for the #PolarPlunge. Show solidarity by wearing a necktie. (I'm not telling you what else to wear.)
— jimmy fallon (@jimmyfallon) February 24, 2014
Okay @RahmEmanuel I'm in. Lake Michigan will have a New York fish this weekend. #SwimmyFallon
— jimmy fallon (@jimmyfallon) February 24, 2014
The back-and-forth over braving the cold waters all started with a remark Fallon made even before the debut of his incarnation of the NBC program.
"All he has to do is make a phone call," Fallon said of featuring Emanuel on the show. "He can host if he wants to. I'm scared of that guy."
When Emanuel caught wind of it, he took to social media and accepted the invite with one condition: Fallon had to join in Sunday's Polar Plunge.
I don't know @RahmEmanuel... How do I know this isn't a set up? Chicago - if I do this - will you have my back? #PolarPlunge
— jimmy fallon (@jimmyfallon) February 20, 2014
Hey @jimmyfallon, got this for you. See, I told you, the City of Big Shoulders has your back. -MRE #jimmyplungewithuspic.twitter.com/f8p58xjwJJ
— ChicagosMayor (@ChicagosMayor) February 21, 2014
As these things go, social media latched onto the idea with the #JimmyPlungeWithUs hashtag. For his part, Emanuel agreed to take part in the Chicago Polar Plunge after challenging the city's school children to read two million books last summer. There was no immediate word as to when Emanuel would appear on "The Tonight Show."

Samba is a re-implementation of the SMB/CIFS networking protocol, it facilitates file and printer sharing among Linux and Windows systems as an alternative to NFS. Samba is easily configured and operation is very straight-forward.
- 1 Installation
- 2 Configuration
- 3 Accessing Samba shares
- 4 Tips and tricks
- 5 Troubleshooting
- 6 Resources
Installing only the client program is sufficient for systems that are not meant to share files, only access them:
# pacman -S smbclient
In order to make shares available to clients, install the Samba server package:
# pacman -S samba
A daemon is installed with the server and it must be started for Samba to begin working. Samba typically uses FAM to monitor the file-system for changes, yet Gamin has almost completely replaced FAM as of recent, mainly because the former is poorly maintained and generally an inferior, unpopular choice.
To install Gamin:
# pacman -S gamin
The Template:Filename file must be created before starting the daemons. Once that is setup, users may opt for using an advanced configuration interface like SWAT.
As root, copy the default Samba configuration file to Template:Filename:
# cp /etc/samba/smb.conf.default /etc/samba/smb.conf
Open Template:Filename and edit it to suit your needs. The default file creates a share for each user's home directory. It also creates a share for printers.
Starting and automating the daemons
If using FAM, start the Template:Codeline daemon before Template:Codeline. Gamin does not need a daemon since it automatically starts when needed.
Without rebooting, FAM and Samba can be started with the commands:
# /etc/rc.d/fam start # /etc/rc.d/samba start
Add Template:Codeline and Template:Codeline to the DAEMONS line in Template:Filename to automatically start the daemons at boot.
SWAT: Samba web administration tool
SWAT is a facility that is part of the Samba suite. The main executable is called swat and is invoked by the internetworking super daemon, inetd.
There are many and varied opinions regarding the usefulness of SWAT. No matter how hard one tries to produce the perfect configuration tool, it remains an object of personal taste. However, SWAT is a very useful tool that allows Web-based configuration of Samba. It has a wizard that may help to get Samba configured quickly, it has context-sensitive help on each Template:Filename parameter, it provides for monitoring of current state of connection information, and it allows network-wide MS Windows network password management.
To use SWAT, first install xinetd:
# pacman -Sy xinetd
Edit Template:Filename using your favorite text editor. To enable SWAT, change the Template:Codeline line to Template:Codeline.
Additionally, edit Template:Filename if remote administration is needed.
The web interface can be accessed on port 901 by default,
Adding users
To log into a Samba share you'll need to add a user:
# smbpasswd -a <user>
The user must already have a account on the server. If the user does not exist you will receive the error:
Failed to modify password entry for user "<user>"
You can add a new user to the Linux host with adduser. This article does not cover adding users to Windows systems.
KDE and Gnome have the ability to browse Samba shares. You therefore do not need any additional packages if using either of these DEs. If however you plan to use the share solely from a shell, you will need an additional package.
From a Nautilus/Dolphin/Konqueror window, hit Template:Keypress+Template:Keypress or go to the "Go" menu and select "Location..." -- both actions will allow you to type in the "Go to:" blank. Enter:
For a GUI in the KDE System Settings you have to install the kdenetwork-filesharing package from [extra].
Shares may be accessed by using an automatic mounter or by using a manual method.
There are several alternatives for easy share browsing.
1. Install Template:Package Official:
# pacman -S smbnetfs
2. Add the following line to Template:Filename:
3. Load the Template:Codeline kernel module:
# modprobe fuse
4. Start the Template:Codeline daemon:
# /etc/rc.d/smbnetfs start
All shares in the network are now automatically mounted under Template:Filename.
Add the following to Template:Filename to access the shares at boot:
MODULES=(... fuse ...) DAEMONS=(... smbnetfs ...)
1. Install the Template:Package AUR package from the AUR using yaourt or other AUR Helpers:
$ yaourt -S fusesmb
2. Create a mount point:
# mkdir /mnt/fusesmb
3. Load Template:Codeline module:
# modprobe fuse
4. Mount the shares:
# fusesmb -o allow_other /mnt/fusesmb
For mounting shares at boot, add the command above to Template:Filename and add Template:Codeline module to Template:Filename:
MODULES=(... fuse ...)
See Autofs for information on the kernel-based automounter for Linux.
1. Use smbclient to browse shares from the shell. To list any public shares on a server:
$ smbclient -L <hostname> -U%
2. Create the mount point for the share:
# mkdir /mnt/MOUNTPOINT
3. Mount the share using Template:Codeline. Keep in mind that not all options may be needed nor desirable, such as Template:Codeline:
# mount -t cifs //SERVER/SHARENAME MOUNTPOINT -o user=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD,workgroup=WORKGROUP,ip=SERVERIP
- Template:Codeline
- The Windows system's name
- Template:Codeline
- The shared directory
- Template:Codeline
- The local directory where the share will be mounted to
- Template:Codeline
- Specifies options for Template:Codeline
- Template:Codeline
- Username used to mount the share
- Template:Codeline
- The shared directory's password
- Template:Codeline
- Used to specify the workgroup
- Template:Codeline
- The IP address of the server -- if the system is unable to find the Windows computer by name (DNS, WINS, hosts entry, etc.)
4. To unmount the share, use:
# umount /mnt/MOUNTPOINT
Add the following to Template:Filename for easy mounting:
//SERVER/SHARENAME /mnt/MOUNTPOINT cifs noauto,noatime,username=USER,password=PASSWORD,workgroup=WORKGROUP 0 0
The Template:Codeline option disables mounting it automatically at boot and Template:Codeline increases performance by skipping inode access times.
After adding the previous line, the syntax to mount files becomes simpler:
# mount /mnt/MOUNTPOINT
If adding a Samba share to Template:Filename, the Template:Codeline daemon should also be added to Template:Filename, somewhere after the network daemon. The Template:Codeline daemon will mount network partitions at boot and, more importantly, unmount network partitions at shutdown. Even if using the Template:Codeline option in Template:Filename, the Template:Codeline daemon should be used. Without it any network share that is mounted when shutting down will cause the Template:Codeline daemon to wait for the connection to time out, considerably extending poweroff time.
Allowing users to mount
Before enabling access to the mount commands, Template:Filename needs to be modified. Add the Template:Codeline options to the entry in Template:Filename:
//SERVER/SHARENAME /path/to/SHAREMOUNT cifs users,noauto,noatime,username=USER,password=PASSWORD,workgroup=WORKGROUP 0 0
This will allow users to mount it aslong as the mount point resides in a directory controllable by the user; i.e. the user's home. For users to be allowed to mount and unmount the Samba shares with mount points that they do not own, use #smbnetfs, or grant privileges using sudo.
Tips and tricks
Edit Template:Filename and change the following line:
security = user
security = share
If you want to restrict the shares data to a specific interface replace:
; interfaces = 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24
interfaces = lo eth0 bind interfaces only = true
(changing eth0 to the local network you want share with.)
If you want to edit the account that access the shares, edit the following line:
; guest account = nobody
The last step is to create share directory (for write access make writable = yes):
[Public Share] path = /path/to/public/share available = yes browsable = yes public = yes writable = no
Sample configuration file
The configuration that worked for one user:
[global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba Server netbios name = PC_NAME security = share ; the line below is important! If you have permission issues make sure the user here is the same as the user of the ; folder you want to share guest account = mark username map = /etc/samba/smbusers name resolve order = hosts wins bcast wins support = no
[public] comment = Public Share path = /path/to/public/share available = yes browsable = yes public = yes writable = no
If nothing is known about other systems on the local network, and automated tools such as #smbnetfs are not available, the following methods allow one to manually probe for Samba shares.
1. First, install Template:Package Official and Template:Package Official using pacman:
# pacman -S nmap smbclient
2. Template:Codeline checks which ports are open:
# nmap -sT 192.168.1.*
In this case, a scan on the 192.168.1.* IP address range has been performed, resulting in: Template:Command
The first result is another system; the second happens to be the client from where this scan was performed.
3. Now that systems with port 139 open are revealed, use Template:Codeline to check for NetBIOS names: Template:Command
Regardless of the output, look for <20>, which shows the host with open services.
4. Use Template:Codeline to list which services are shared on PUTER. If prompted for a password, pressing enter should still display the list: Template:Command
This shows which folders are shared and can be mounted locally. See: #Accessing Samba shares
If you are having trouble accessing a password protected share from Windows, try adding this to Template:Filename:[1]
[global] # lanman fix client lanman auth = yes client ntlmv2 auth = no
Getting a dialog box up takes a long time
I had a problem that it took ~30 seconds to get a password dialog box up when trying to connect from both Windows XP/Windows 7. Analyzing the error.log on the server I saw:
[2009/11/11 06:20:12, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_connect(103) Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost:631 - Interrupted system call
I don't have any printer connected to this server, so I added this to the global section:
load printers = no printing = bsd disable spoolss = yes printcap name = /dev/null
Not sure if all of them are necessary, but at least it works now.
Changes in Samba version 3.4.0
Major enhancements in Samba 3.4.0 include:
The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam'! That breaks existing setups using the 'smbpasswd' backend without explicit declaration!
If you would like to stick to the 'smbpasswd' backend try changing this in Template:Filename:
passdb backend = smbpasswd
or convert your smbpasswd entries using:
sudo pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam
Error: Value too large for defined data type
With some applications you could get this error whith every attempt to open a file mounted in smbfs/cifs:
Value too large for defined data type
The solution[2] is to add this options to your smbfs/cifs mount options (in /etc/fstab for example):
It works on Arch Linux up-to-date (2009-12-02)

Sao Paulo GRAND SLAM | 8 - 13 October 2013
São Paulo, Brazil, October 13, 2013 – In another classic battle for the ages between veteran warriors, USA's 10th-seeded April Ross/Kerri Walsh Jennings overcame their intense struggle with Germany's fifth-seeded Laura Ludwig/Kira Walkenhorst Sunday to claim the women's gold medal on the final day at the $440,000 FIVB São Paulo Grand Slam double-gender tournament. The event has marked the return of the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour's to Brazil for the 27th consecutive year.
With the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour returned in South America this week after a six-week hiatus, the ninth 2013 FIVB Grand Slam event was held for the first time in São Paulo and the venue was a purpose-built site located on the expansive grounds of Parque Villa Lobos on the west side of the massive city.
In a dynamic way to launched the newest chapter in their illustrious careers in beach volleyball, USA Olympians Ross/Walsh Jennings never gave up and eventually outlasted Germany's talented Ludwig/Walkenhorst in three glorious sets,19-21, 31-29 and 15-12 in 65 exciting minutes, the longest women's match of the six-day tournament. Both new teams on the FIVB World Tour USA's Ross/Walsh Jennings leaves São Paulo with the gold medal, $33,000 in prize money and a 7-0 record in the tournament while Germany's Ludwig/Walkenhurst leave Brazil with the silver medal, $22,000 in prize money and a 6-1 record.. This is the first was the first time these two teams have met although with different teammates all have played each other numerous times.
As the teams battled ferociously for every point, Germany's Ludwig/Walkenhorst overcame a 8-13 deficit to defeat the Americans in the first set, 21-19. The second set that went overtime was classic textbook as the set was tied 20 times with the last at 28-28 before USA's Ross/Walsh Jennings won it at 31-29.
In the decided third set, USA's Ross/Walsh Jennings exploded for the first two points gradually pulling away to 8-4 and 10-5 leads before Germany's Ludwig/Walkenhorst rallied to close within two at 11-9, but the Americans hung tough and pulled out the set, match and gold medal championship by a three-point margin, 15-12.
The always gregarious Walsh Jennings commented after the awarding ceremony, "It was amazing. I think the final went just like the whole tournament was for us. We had really tough, really close matches. The Germans came out and played amazing. We were expecting that. I'm so glad we didn't panic and stayed aggressive."
Teammate Ross said after her team's gold medal victory, "Kerri and I approach every tournament in the same way. We're going to enjoy this until the next tournament, but we'll be ready to play every point, every game. We respect all of our opponents we play the hardest we can every match."
The Ross/Walsh Jennings tandem is USA's newest team. The Olympic duo is playing in just their second FIVB World Tour Grand Slam event after Olympic careers with different teammates. Walsh Jennings has three career Olympic gold medals and Ross won the silver medal last year at the 2012 London Olympics. Ross/Walsh Jennings played together for the first time on the FIVB World Tour in Gstaad, Switerzerland on July 10-14 where they finished ninth. Walsh is returning to regular action after giving birth to her third child as she has taken six months off from competition.
Individually, USA's Ross was playing in her 84th career FIVB World Tour event, her 37th FIVB final four and now has 11 gold medals. USA's Walsh Jennings was playing in her 88th career FIVB World Tour event, her 70th FIVB final four and now has earned 45 gold medals.
For Walsh Jennings, she set another record for her illustrious career. Sunday marked the first time in FIVB World Tour history where both a husband and wife were playing in their respective gold medal matches in the same event. Her husband Casey Jennings was pinch-hitting for the injured Sean Rosenthal. Jennings played for the USA with Phil Dalhausser claimed the silver medal as they were defeated in three sets by Brazil's Bruno Schmidt/Pedro Salgado in the men's gold medal match.
Germany's Ludwig/Walkenhorst duo was in their ninth tournament together and this was their third final four appearance and they now have earned two silver medals and one fourth place finish. Ludwig was playing in her 99th career FIVB World Tour event and her 18th FIVB final four with no gold medals and she now has captured nine silver medals. Walkenhorst was playing in her 17th career FIVB World Tour event, her third FIVB final four and she has now has earned two silver medals and one fourth place finish. Together, Germany's Ludwig/Walkenhorst also won the silver medal together at the last FIVB World Tour stop in Moscow six weeks ago. Ludwig is a two-time German Olympian finishing ninth in 2008 (Beijing) and fifth in 2012 (London) with the now-retired Sara Goller.
On Saturday, Brazil's seventh-seeded Agatha Bednarczuk/Maria Antonelli provided their home country fans plenty to rejoice about as they slugged it out with Italy's 21st-seeded Marta Menegatti/Viktoria Orsi Toth and won the bronze medal, recording a three-set victory in 54 minutes, 25-23, 13-21 and 15-10.
Playing in their 11th FIVB World Tour event as a team, Brazil's Bednarczuk/Antonelli earned their first bronze medal as a team and second final four finishing placement. After their bronze medal victory, they left São Paulo with a 6-2 record, an official third-place finish and $16,500 in prize money.
After their loss in the bronze medal match, Italy's Menegatti/Orsi Toth left São Paulo with a 5-3 record here, an official fourth-place finish and $12,900 in prize money. This was the third FIVB World Tour event as a team and their second fourth place finish.
São Paulo PURSE
The gold medal teams in each gender in the FIVB São Paulo Grand Slam will each split $33,000, the silver $22,000, the bronze $16,500 and fourth place $12,900.
The FIVB São Paulo Grand Slam marks the 35th time that Brazil has hosted a men's and 30th time Brazil has hosted a women's FIVB international beach volleyball world tour event. Brazil has staged a FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour event every year since the start of the international circuit for men in 1987 and women in 1992. It is also the 295th FIVB World Tour men's tournament and 257th women's tournament.
The 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour is comprised of 10 Grand Slam events and the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships. Not part of the World Tour but counting towards FIVB points/earnings are five Open events (four double-gender tournaments and one women-only). The last of 10 FIVB World Tour Grand Slams on the 2013 Grand Slam schedule will be held in China Oct. 22-27 at the double-gender $440,000 FIVB Xiamen Grand Slam.

text: May 8, 2014 at 5:00 AM Learning in two languages boosts student achievement, study says Posted by Linda Shaw In our ever-global world, more and more parents want their children to be fluent in more than one language. Dozens of public schools in Washington state offer classes where teachers spend part of the day speaking English, and part speaking another language — usually Spanish or Chinese. For English-speaking students, one benefit is the chance to become fluent in a second language at a young age. The benefits for non-English speakers in such programs might even be greater. Last week, researchers at Stanford University released yet another study that backs the value of the dual-language approach. Over 10 years, the researchers tracked about 18,000 English-language learners in San Francisco and found that, by middle school, students in dual-language programs outperformed those in English-only programs on a number of tests. The dual-language students even did better than those in bilingual programs where students got some support in their native language. Students in English-only classes had the highest scores in early elementary grades, researchers said, but the students in dual-language classes caught up a few years later, then passed them.

Studio Features, Independent Films, Television Production, Commercial Projects, Industrials, Printwork, Gaming, Music Videos... you name it! We handle both Principal Casting and Extras casting overseeing every production from start to finish.
Friend us on Facebook and you'll see our upcoming casting call information
Please contact us so we can help you with your project and casting decisions.
Beth Sepko Casting / Third Coast Extras
1901 East 51st Street
Austin, TX 78723
phone: 512-472-5385
fax: 512-472-5426
email: email@example.com
We are a Casting company providing both Principal Talent and Extras for Feature Films, Television, Commercials, Industrials, Print Ads, and Music Videos shooting in the Texas region. Here is an IMDB link to some of our work.
Most auditions are set up through Talent Agents licensed by the state of Texas. We start here because represented talent have already been through a qualifying process, are continually training, and are usually most serious in pursuit of an acting career.
If we do not find what we are looking for through the talent agencies or if a client specifically requests "real people" (as opposed to trained actors), we will go into our files of extras and independents registered with our company to call people in for auditions.
We keep files of photos and information sheets on people in our region interested in doing extra work. No acting experience is necessary to work as an extra and it is not necessary to have an agent.
While we do also book actors who have representation for extra work, most extra work in Texas is non-union or non-SAG (Screen Actors Guild) and, therefore, has no agency fee budgeted. For this reason, we call people directly when booking extras.
There is NEVER a fee to be registered or on file with our company. There is also NEVER a fee collected from the talent or extras for any booking. We are compensated by the production companies who hire us. Which means we only book talent for projects we are casting.
We are NOT a talent agency. We are not actively promoting talent to different production companies. We do not look for work for anyone. We book whomever we choose based on the casting requirements of each specific project. Also, when booked for work, the talent and/or extras become employees of that production company (just like us) and are paid through that company's payroll service. We do not act as employers.
It is not necessary to have a headshot to be on file and work with our company. If you do already have a headshot & resume, please send it to our office via regular mail. We need the hard copies on file and prefer not to receive electronic submissions.
If interested in being considered for extra work, please also make sure your phone numbers (home, mobile, and work - if appropriate for you to receive calls there) are included on the resume even if a talent agent is already listed. While we will make agent's aware of our calling talent directly, the pay scale for extra work is generally low and does not include an agency fee. Therefore, we prefer not to ask agents to do this work for us.
If a headshot is not available, a simple snapshot or school photo or polaroid or digital photograph that shows your CURRENT look is suitable. Some directors even prefer snapshots to headshots.
Please download and fill out our Talent Registration Form, attach your photograph, and mail it to our office:
Beth Sepko Casting & 3rd Coast Extras
1901 East 51st Street
Austin, TX 78723
Registration with our casting company does not guarantee employment, auditions, or meetings. Talent are booked or auditioned based upon the casting needs of each individual production.
All registration forms are kept on file as long as individuals wish to be considered for talent work or until contact information changes and talent become unreachable.
To update a registration form with new photographs due to a change in look (Hair cut/color, Weight loss/gain, or Age - especially with children), we request that a new registration form be completed and mailed in with the new photos.
In updating contact numbers or to change an address, we also request that a completely new set of photos AND registration form be submitted. It is, unfortunately, difficult for us to update individual forms on a regular basis.
Please print, fill-out, attach photo, and mail to:Beth Sepko Casting & 3rd Coast Extras

fax: 512.472.5426
The form is available in three formats for your convenience. Right-click and save document on your desktop if you have any problems clicking the links. (Mac users hold down OPTION and then click)
All Talent Agencies in Texas must be licensed by the state and follow the rules of the Texas Talent Agency Law.

Installing Bootchart
Bootchart can be found in extra bootchart.
Running Bootchart2
Boot loader setup
This generally involves making a copy of the boot option you want to profile and adding
initcall_debug printk.time=y init=/sbin/bootchartd to it. See kernel parameters for instructions. When started from the boot loader, bootchart2 will stop after either a default 120 seconds, or when you get to the login prompt (as opposite).
Configure Bootchart2
Stop Bootchartd2 after login
Bootchart2 /etc/bootchartd.conf
EXIT_PROC="kdm_greet xterm konsole gnome-terminal metacity mutter compiz ldm icewm-session enlightenment"
can be adjusted, or left empty for logging to be stopped manually rather than at a predetermined programme start.
Generating a chart
Is as straightforward with Bootchart2 as it is with Bootchart Legacy: After bootup, run
$ pybootchartgui -i
to get an interactive chart rendering tool. You can get more details on the Gentoo Wiki until someone further edit this page.
Note that Bootchart2 can be used along with E4rat.
Running Bootchart
To make use of bootchart, you have to either set it as the init process in your boot loader or starting it manually from one of the init scripts (
rc.sysinit preferably). Note that if you start bootchartd manually, you have to stop it manually too. In general, be extra careful with this step.
Boot loader setup
This generally involves making a copy of the boot option you want to profile and adding
init=/usr/bin/bootchartd to it. See kernel parameters for instructions. When started from the boot loader, bootchart will stop when you get to the login prompt.
rc.sysinit setup
This one is dangerous (you can make your Arch Linux unbootable) - use it only when the first approach fails. When run in this way, not only you'll have to stop bootchartd manually after you boot up (or it will completely fill your harddrive) but it will start with every boot too. Also, any changes to
/etc/rc.sysinit will be reverted next time you update the initscripts package.
On the positive side, you'll end up with a bootchart that shows what happens after you log in.
Edit /etc/rc.sysinit
Now, we're going to add this line:
/usr/bin/bootchartd start
It cannot be too high up, because that would render the system unbootable, but placing it too far into the script will hide anything that happened before from the bootchart. It should be safe to put this right before the section that brings up the system clock. Look for this line:
stat_busy "Configuring System Clock"
Put this:
/usr/bin/bootchartd start
before it.
Stop bootchartd after login
As stated previously, you have to stop bootchartd manually. Either run this as root:
/usr/bin/bootchartd stop
Or with sudo if you have that set up:
sudo /usr/bin/bootchartd stop
Generating a chart
Generating a bootchart involves running:
in a folder to which you have write access. This will generate a
bootchart.png image with your chart.
You'll have to have a Java runtime installed and properly set up before you can do this.
Bootchart-render cannot generate a 'bootchart.png' image and shows the error message:
/var/log/bootchart.tgz not found
It mostly means that bootchartd was unable to detect when the booting process was finished. This can happen when you are using different login manager than KDM or GDM such as SLIM or entrance. You have to open
/usr/bin/bootchartd script and append those applications to
exit_proc variable, for example:
# The processes we have to wait for local exit_proc="gdmgreeter gdm-binary kdm_greet kdm slim"
If you are using no login manager, edit the
exit_proc variable in this way:
# The processes we have to wait for local exit_proc="login"
Example bootcharts
Boot in 5 seconds

This article is really awesome and along with a bunch of bootcharts provides some tips on how to boot faster. Some of those improvements are beyond reach of the ordinary user though (patching X.org, kernel, etc.).

Outlook 2003: Business Contact Manager
Business Contact Manager (BCM) version 2.0 is a free add-in to Outlook 2003 in the Office Professional and Small Business editions. It's a great tool if you understand how to use it for your benefit and overcome its two major limitations:
- Older versions of BCM work as stand-alone units not allowing sharing among several users. Upgrading your BCM to Version 2.0 allows database sharing among several users. If you're using an older version, get online, choose Help in the Outlook toolbar, choose Check For Updates, and then follow the instructions to upgrade your system.
- To use BCM's sharing features, your Outlook program must be installed on a computer running Windows XP Professional; BCM doesn't share under Windows XP Home Edition.
- The Product And Service Items List has a fixed format with only three available fields to import data from your sales and accounting system. You have to adjust the fields from your business system to fit into the three importing fields: Item Name, Description, and Unit Price, which limits the way of quoting services and products. Quoting the same product as one unit, one box, or one container means you have to open one line item per packaging. You can't import your current inventory quantities because BCM doesn't import quantity fields.
- To have the same item on the different packaging on the same line, you have to define the meaning of your unit quantity, whether it's 1 shampoo bottle or a box containing 12 shampoo bottles. Adapting each Item Name, Description, and Unit Price for a service, a project, or product is the challenge of using BCM in any business.
Say, for example, that Daisy works in a computer and software maintenance company and receives a request for a quote to install and share the new BCM 2.0 in five workstations. She writes a detailed proposal, including minimum requirements like a Windows XP Professional in the workstation that will share the database, and estimates the number of hours for her service. She creates a new item to record this proposal:
Service Quote for Installation Software
Item Name: Software installation
Description: BCM 2.0 shared in 5 workstations
Quantity:1 service
Price : 120.00
Daisy uses the Item name field to specify the service and the Description field to list what was required. She also links the proposal as a file in the Opportunity History Items. Adapting her service to the Product And Service Items List, you can apply Daisy's idea in any type of business.
In addition, say that Mark works in a legal office, and a new customer requests a quote for handling the company's legal affairs. He writes a proposal explaining what his office services cover and sends it as $250 per hour, estimating ten hours per month of service. He estimates the proposal at 120 hours a year and sets it up in the following way:
Service Quote for Mark's Legal Services
Item Name: Legal support
Description: Business legal support contract 10h/month
Quantity: 120
Total: $30,000
Likewise, a cosmetology clinic can create a Product And Service Items List for Botox skin-care applications and laser skin-care services in the same way as a legal office or a computer service.
Whether you're in a store or small industry, you can adjust your product list to fit BCM's available fields by using the preceding examples.

Soy Wax
Soy wax (actually partially hydrogenated soybean oil) is an excellent alternative to paraffin for cleaning brushes for several reasons. Soy beans are a renewable resource, unlike paraffin, which is a petroleum product. Soy wax is non-toxic, burns cleaner than paraffin, and is naturally biodegradable. Soy wax is also easier to remove than paraffin wax, so after the color has been cleaned out of the brush, the brush can be washed with soap and water and is reusable in other mediums.

Forty-four cyclists lined up single file against the front straightaway rail Tuesday night at the San Diego Velodrome. Then one by one they pushed off, no one uttering a word.
The only sounds were cyclists' cleats clicking into clips, chains humming against cogs, the wind whirring off disc wheels.
The lap of silence honored Jackie Dunn, a 32-year-old amateur cyclist who crashed at the San Diego Velodrome Association's weekly racing exactly one week earlier.
Dunn, who lived in Clairemont, died one day later. The cause of death was cranial trauma.
Dunn's death is believed to be the only fatality in the 37-year history of the velodrome, which is tucked into the east side of Balboa Park.
After much debate, the club decided to race one week after Dunn's death.
"It's what she would have wanted," said Durward Dunn, Jackie's husband of nearly eight years. "Her favorite thing to do during the week was to race at the velodrome. You see pictures of her smiling before the races. She liked racing, and she liked the people."
Cycling fatalities are not rare.
According to the
But because there are no cars or pedestrians on a bike track, deaths on a velodrome are scarce.
"I've never heard of one," said Shaun Wallace, 51, a two-time track cycling Olympian for Great Britain and a San Diego Velodrome Association board member.
U-T San Diego research found just two track cycling deaths in the last 28 years.
Tim Jackson, a regular at the Tuesday night races, witnessed Dunn's crash. Jackson said Dunn was riding in a pack coming out of the fourth turn when Dunn's front wheel overlapped with another rider's and they collided.
"It looked like she directly landed on her head or face with full impact," said Jackson.
But Jackson added: "Her crash looked like any other we see on the track. It didn't look like that kind of crash that would be severe, much less fatal. A lot of us are trying to come to terms with the stark reality of what happened."
"It's just a completely weird, freak, random racing accident," said Andrew Lee, who owns Adams Avenue Bicycles and regularly races at the velodrome.
Dunn's death shocked the tight-knit amateurs who show up once a week to put the stress of work behind them.
Dunn wore a bright pink racing helmet and Tuesday night one of her mentors, Trina Jacobson, handed out pink bracelets. Jacobson painted nine of her fingernails turquoise and one orange. Dunn rode for the Crank Cycling team, which chowcases those colors.
Jacobson, who was one of only four women competing at the beginning of Tuesday's races, said deciding to ride one week after her friend's death wasn't difficult.
"Jackie would have wanted us to," she said.
For Elaine Hutchinson, the decision wasn't as easy
"Many of us struggled with that decision," Hutchinson said.
So why did she race?
"It's something that's a part of our lives."
Dunn grew up in Houston. She graduated from Texas A&M and earned a master's degree in engineering from A&M. She worked as an engineer at Naval Facilities Engineering Command.
Durward said his wife at one time weighed 240 pounds. After moving to San Diego in 2008, she began practicing boxing and kick boxing and lost 70-80 pounds in a little more than a year.
"She's one of those people that when she sets her mind to something, she doesn't back down," Durward said.
By 2011, Jackie Dunn set a new goal: cross a marathon off life's to-do list. Despite undergoing two knee surgeries, she finished the Big Sur Marathon in April 2012, six months after the second surgery.
Less than two months later, the Dunns completed their first triathlon.
"She started really falling in love with her bike," said Durward.
Dunn was a regular customer at Adams Avenue Bicycles.
"She was generous with herself," said Lee, the Adams Avenue Bicycles owner. "She wanted people to feel like they were part of a group. Her smile, it lit up a room."
"What I like to say about Jackie," said Durward, "is she never met a stranger."

Two dead in morning shooting
SAN ANTONIO -- The last time Imelda Adalee Rincon's father saw her, he and his girlfriend had bought her groceries.
"She gave us a kiss goodbye," said Yvette Garza, the nine-year girlfriend of Imelda's father, Hector Rincon.
Hours later, two masked gunmen kicked in the door of the West Side apartment where Imelda Rincon, 22, lived with her boyfriend and shot the couple to death.
"Numerous" shots were fired at about 4 a.m. at the apartment in the 2500 block of Suzette Avenue, said Lt. Michael King of the San Antonio Police Department. One person was found dead in the bed, while another was found dead outside the bed in the bedroom, King said.
There was no evidence of a robbery, King said. Police are investigating the double-slaying as the 59th and 60th suspected murders this year.
"They intentionally came into the apartment with the intent of killing two individuals," King said. "It doesn't look random. It looks like something that would be consistent with a hit, but we don't know that for sure."
The unknown gunmen drove away in a dark SUV, according to police. A few minutes later, officers found a small SUV on fire in the 2400 block of Pinn Road, near the crime scene. King said authorities do not yet know if the blaze was related to the shooting.
Several witnesses were taken to the homicide office to give statements. According to police, family members might have known the couple was in danger. But Imelda Rincon's father said Thursday that he did not.
"I don't know why they killed my daughter," he said in Spanish, before tears came to his eyes. "She wasn't in a gang."
Imelda Rincon does not appear to have a criminal history, according to public records. Her father described her as a hard-working young woman who worked every day at a nearby bingo hall on Marbach Road. She was a graduate of Memorial High School.
The couple said they did not know Imelda Rincon's boyfriend well. They knew him only as "Chucho." Authorities have not yet released his identity.
Before daybreak, a woman ran through the crime scene tape, screaming, "No," before police got her to stand back.
She wept loudly and said, "Where's my baby?" while another woman held her and said, "We don't even know if it's him yet."
A neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, said he thought jealousy — rather than gang violence — was the motive for the killing. He said groups of men, and officers, had mistakenly knocked on his door looking for Imelda Rincon.
The neighbor said he and Imelda Rincon were friends and that she had recently broken up with another boyfriend to be with her current one. The neighbor described Imelda Rincon as outgoing and friendly.
"It's just sad that it happened to her," the neighbor said. "She was a good person."
Last year, there were 45 slayings in San Antonio through the end of August that were classified by the Police Department as murder investigations, according to data SAPD reported to the FBI. This year's stats are, so far, much higher but still less than 2012, when the department reported 65 murder investigations through August.
The numbers do not include slayings classified as justified homicides or manslaughters.
Thursday's incident is one of several this summer that have left police dealing with crime scenes involving multiple bodies.
In June, Zachary Manciu, 19, and Michael Moore, 20, died in a shootout following an alleged robbery gone awry.
Moore and Joseph Michael Kirschberg, 21, were trying to rob the apartment where Robert Payne, 20, lived, officials have said. Payne, who had barricaded himself in his bedroom with a shotgun, called Manciu for help, but when Manciu arrived the two suspected intruders ordered him to kick down Payne's door, police said.
Payne opened fire on his friend, believing him to be an intruder, officials have said. In the shootout that ensued, Moore was also shot and killed. Kirschberg was later arrested and has been charged with capital murder.
Last month, Hector Davila, 44, is believed to have killed his wife and daughter — Irma Davila, 41, and Destiny Davila, 13 — before shooting and killing himself at their West Side home.

As if Parisian tents and 18-point times weren't already high enough on my love list… now there's the Metro Poem, ala Jacques Jouet, who, according to Daniel Levin Becker "burns all his drafts." Which has me imagining, of course, the musings of my darling Magdalena as she navigates La Cienega from Fairview (or at the very least the 10) to Rodeo. I'm keeping the constraints (as outlined below) but adjusting the stops if you will… from the open and close of the metro's door to the irrational alternation of red and green traffic lights: When the light turns red, you write the line down. When the cars start again, you begin to compose the second line. No writing while the car is in motion; no composing while it's stopped. And instead of stations, we'll use neighborhoods to break our stanzas. We'll call it the Unbuilt Highway Poem with a nod to the Beverly Hills freeway that never was.
From Daniel Levin Becker's essay "Little Demons of Subtlety: On the Oulipian Constraint" in Berfrois:
"The Metro Poem: it's a free-verse form with rigid compositional rules. You get on the metro and compose the first line of a poem in your head. When the train makes its first stop, you write the line down. When the train starts again, you begin to compose the second line. No writing while the train is in motion; no composing while it's stopped. If you change to a different metro line, you pause on the platform to write down the line you composed before getting off, then start a new stanza for the next leg of the trip. You write down the last line upon arriving at your destination, and then go wherever it is you were going in the first place.
The metro poem is oulipian mostly in the sense that, if done rigorously, it's surprisingly challenging—straightforward as it sounds, the time strictures make it less like a Surrealist free-association exercise and more like a suicide-aerobics drill for the parts of your mind that usually make observations into ruminations and ruminations into language. It constrains the space around your thoughts, not the letters or words in which you will eventually fit them: you have to work to think thoughts of the right size, to focus on the line at hand without workshopping the previous one or anticipating the next. You have to actively avoid the master craftsman's impulse to map out the whole poem, since that would defeat the momentary experientiality of the thing. "There is no question of correcting one's composition, beyond the time of composing the verse, which means that the time for premeditation is reduced to a minimum," Jouet writes. "No manuscript version." (As a rule, Jouet burns his drafts.)"

LED Lights Eyed to be Next-Gen Low Power Wireless Technology
LED lighting isn't just a potential replacement for lighting technologies used today--it is actually being eyed as the next-generation wireless communications technology. Under a grant by the National Science Foundation, Boston University's College of Engineering will work on developing a wireless technology based on visible light instead of radio frequency (RF). Called "Smart Lighting," data is transmitted through light emitted by LEDs, making each light the equivalent of a WiFi hotspot. This means the moment you flick a light on, you can access data on any device with wireless capability anytime without the use of wires.
According to Boston University, the data transmission is possible through flickering light patterns which go unnoticed. It's unclear how computers and other devices would communicate with the lights, but that's something I bet we'll find out in due time. If it isn't obvious yet, because LED lights are energy efficient, the nascent technology would make an energy efficient system, consuming a lot less power than what radio frequency technology usually does. That would equate to a drop in electricity consumption and hence, costs. Aside from being a low power technology, it's also deemed to be secure because since light doesn't go through opaque objects like walls, chances of eavesdropping are lowered.
You can find out more about this technology at the Smart Lighting Engineering Research Center
