Why Foreclosure Is Easier for the Wealthy to Avoid

First published: 28th June 2002
"Professional Apache 2.0" by Peter Wainwright published
recently in May 2002 by Wrox Press Ltd could be considered
as the 2nd edition of "Professional
Apache" out in 1999 by
the same author and publisher with updated material on
Apache 1.3, and information about Apache 2.0 such as new
features and differences to Apache 1.3 added where
appropriate. This "revision" includes contributions from
7 co-authors, splitting one chapter into two and fleshing
out the second portion to create a new chapter about
improving web server security, more third party modules,
an introduction and a summary to each chapter, more
diagrams, and the reorganisation
of the sequence of some subsections within the chapters.
The target readers of this book are experienced Apache
users and web server administrators who are using Apache
for the first time. It requires you to have a fundamental
knowledge of the Web, operating systems, and network
settings although the first chapter revisits the basics of
networking, HTTP, and how Apache works.
Its 896 pages are divided into 12 task-based chapters
sequenced logically according to the flow of the thought
processes when implementing a web server, and 10 appendices.
Despite the name of this book, it does not fully concentrate
on Apache 2.0 alone but covers a wide range of topics
including performance, security, and
third party modules such as FastCGI, PHP,
mod_perl, mod_dav,
mod_python, mod_snake,
mod_tcl, mod_ruby,
two connector modules for Tomcat - mod_jk
and mod_webapp, and
mod_ssl (including OpenSSL).
Like its predecessor, the book is written in a continuous
narrative style with many examples and tables,
but is not suitable for occasionally browsing through as it lacks
eye-catching sections for notes, tips, and warnings. The
examples are provided using a mixture of Apache 1.3.24,
Apache 2.0.28 (second beta release), and Apache 2.0.32
(third beta release).
The book begins with a short introduction to basic
concepts in chapter one, followed by different methods of
installation, building Apache with various configuration
parameters, structure of configuration file, followed by some basic
configuration directives in chapter two to four. After that
comes the advanced topics which include delivering
customised and dynamic content, fine-tuning performance,
and monitoring and analysing log files with third party
programs. The next two chapters focus on a key topic -
security: configuring various authentication methods,
securing Apache with mod_ssl, hardening
the underlying operating system and machine that Apache
runs on, and setting up a security checklist. In the
final chapter,
detailed instructions on how to install third-party
modules are provided for both Apache 1.3 and Apache 2.0.
Here, generally, the Apache directives are not listed one by
one with syntax and explanation as in other Apache books
but instead are presented to the reader gradually through
real-world examples. However, the
appendices have two lists of all the directives sorted by
module and name for easy reference, a list of additional
third party modules (commercial and non-commercial), details of some
commercial Apache variants, and a quick guide to the regular
expression syntax used by Apache.
Overall this is a comprehensive book for users interested
in the Apache web server in general and for those intending
to set up a secure Apache web server. Steps are provided
on how to install a private key, generate a certificate
request and temporary certificate, and apply for a signed
certificate although it doesn't cover setting up a
private Certificate Authority. It also includes enabling
support for an SSL proxy, per-directory certificates, and
external hardware cryptographic engines.
If you are interested solely in Apache 2.0 and migrating
modules to Apache 2.0, you may be in for a disappointment.
Although most Apache 2.0 information can be found within
this book it is dispersed with information about Apache
1.3. Depth is
also sacrificed slightly for breadth of coverage. It would
have served the reader better if it had distinct sections for
steps that apply to both Apache 1.3 and Apache 2.0, steps
that only apply to one particular version, the
differences between versions, and steps
for migrating from Apache 1.3 to Apache 2.0 with emphasis
on the pitfalls to avoid.
These flaws may be due to the fact that this book
is actually a revised version of "Professional Apache".
Instead of organising the book to enable readers to fully
utilise and distinguish information between Apache 1.3 and
Apache 2.0, the editors chose to insert information about
Apache 2.0 into the original book where applicable and make
updates to the information about Apache 1.3 where necessary.
Despite its shortcomings, all is not lost, as this book
really does contain a wealth of information - although you may
have a little difficulty locating what you need and it may
not delve into the subject as much as you would like it to.
Contrary to my complaints, Chapter 12 does have clear-cut
sections on building third-party modules under Apache 1.3
and Apache 2.0 with a specific section on how to migrate
mod_perl from Apache 1.3 to Apache 2.0.
It also includes steps for installing
mod_snake (which is
no longer maintained
by its creator). Therefore, it may be worthwhile to get this book
just for this last chapter of "Extending Apache" if you
really need the third-party modules that are covered to
work with Apache 2.0. Some readers may need to be
reminded that chapter 12 is not about how to write modules
for Apache 2.0 and thus does not cover the Apache 2.0 API.
This book is ideal for someone who wants to know almost
everything about Apache 1.3 and Apache 2.0, and has the
patience and time to read through the book. Due to its
verbose nature, some paragraphs may need to be re-read
to fully grasp the meaning. If you're a very experienced
Apache user and can't find a book about Apache 2.0,
give this book a go and you may be pleasantly surprised
(if you do not set your expectations too high).
All you stand to lose is £37 (USD 50).

ncrice necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 50 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
I need a logo design for the word "elevate". The details about the company need to remain undisclosed for certain reasons, but the concept of "raising the bar" and "taking things to a new level" and "on the way up".
OK, in order to give you guys the best idea of the design I need, I'll try to be as clear as possible. I'm pretty open to different fonts, colors, styles, etc., so feel free to be creative with this. Here are the specifics:
This company operates in the tech/web field. We are really wanting to make people rethink the old business models, and really take the whole market to a new level. New ideas, new business models, new features, elevating the entire community.
The logo should reflect this idea. Going up, raising the bar, setting a new standard, etc. You get the idea.
A mark is preferred, but not necessary. If you do include a mark (as I would prefer), please use either the "e" or the "v" (I would prefer the "v"), and make the mark part of the word. I don't want the mark to be separate or beside the word "elevate", I actually want it to be part of the word itself. One idea is to make the "v" into an upward arrow, maybe surrounded by a circle with the arrow extending out of the circle. (that's just an idea, so please try to venture outside of that one suggestion).
If you don't use a mark, per se, then please make the logo still convey the overall message of the "elevate" concept, but please don't make it look cheesy or corny. It NEEDS to look professional, not kiddy.
Colors aren't important, but steer clear of anything that may make the logo look too unprofessional.
If anything is unclear in this description, please leave a comment and I will try to clarify.
- Modern, professional look
- Creative colors
- Good professional font choices
- Clear representation of the brand concept
- I prefer a mark with either the "e" or "v" (see description)
- Logos without a mark need to be professionally done, yet still represent the brand concept.
- flashy, glossy, or otherwise obnoxious designs
- funky fonts that look unprofessional
- a mark that is not part of the word "elevate"
- colors that look unprofessional

Any Tom, Dick and Jane can write up a list of some of the best digital cameras out there, but it takes a real cynical critic to roundup the worst digital cameras. Kodak, Canon, Polaroid and Pentax all make up the list. Jump to find out which cameras you should avoid come holiday gift time.
• Canon A70
This camera may look nice, be fairly cheap and even received pretty solid reviews from CNET and the like, but there are hidden factors lurking making this one lame camera. Users at Digital Camera HQ began experiencing a lot of hardware flaws throughout the life of this camera including purple lines across the LCD, blurred photos, unusual colors and an E18 Error.
• Seal Life SC500
Time Magazime said this camera was one of the best inventions from 2005. Essentially it is just a digital camera in some plastic water-protecting housing. Users complained on the flash working only 20 percent of the time and the camera frequently locking up.
• Kodak EasyShare One
The EasyShare One burst onto the scene looking hot and ended up flopping. It was a four megapixel camera with some nice features like Wi-Fi, but a clunky interface and plaguing hardware problems has made the EasyShare One one of Kodak's bigger point-and-shoot flops.
• Polaroid PDC-5080
A manly 5.1 megapixels for $90. Sound too good to be true? Well, it is. It is just a bad camera overall. Not much else to say, it sucks. Stick with the old school Polaroids—they are more dependable, as long as you can shake it.
• Pentax Optio E10
Ease and affordability were the selling points of this camera. A promising 6.1 megapixels gave this camera high hopes. Digital Camera HQ reviews seemed to saw the 6.1 megapixels looked more like 2 megapixels. One user says that Optio is really an acronym for "Oh, please turn it off!"
Follow the linkage below to get some more takes on horrible digital cameras.

Tucked next to the Arvest Bank on Blue Ridge Blvd in Kansas City, Mo. is a local community garden where Arvest associates work together to create community involvement and empowerment. This urban oasis can be a sigh of relief from the hustle and bustle of everyday life – for both the green thumbed volunteers who till the soil and those who reap the harvest.
The seed for these twelve raised beds was planted in 2014 when we recognized a need for proper access to nutrition and food in the community. Residents in the area have the opportunity to rent a bed, giving access to fresh fruit and vegetables in a community with little green space for growing.
With each season, Arvest is able to harvest an abundant amount of sweet potatoes and tomatoes of which is donated to Raytown Emergency Assistance Program (REAP). Their emergency food pantry strives to provide each family enough food to last two to three weeks. Arvest is proud to partner with REAP to help them meet this need.
Our volunteers have experienced many successful harvest seasons and anticipate this year being no different. This dedicated team of Arvest associates will soon begin preparing for the upcoming growing season.

We are looking for a simple, modern and professional logo and stationery (business card, A4 letterhead and compliments slip) for a new design company.
The logo should contain the words Green Grass Design. We would like the design to be simple, modern and professional. One idea would be to have the word Design in smaller text underneath Green Grass.

As part of the USGBC community, you've been introduced to Project Haiti over the past year. You've heard us talk about rebuilding this orphanage and children's center in Port-au-Prince that was destroyed in the earthquake that devastated the region just over two years ago.
You know that Project Haiti is set to achieve LEED Platinum and the impact that will have – from creating jobs and teaching local Haitians how to "build back better" to providing a resilient model for rebuilding that all countries can learn from and replicate. As Roger Limoges, Project Haiti lead and vice president of organizational development at USGBC says, "If we can build LEED Platinum in Haiti, we can do it anywhere." Project Haiti is a powerful symbol of what's possible in the green building movement and its impact will be vast.
Marisa Long with children at the Crèche at Lamardelle
But it's of course more than that. What you haven't heard us talk much about is Fondation Enfant Jesus (FEJ), the beneficiaries of Project Haiti. It wasn't until last week, when I traveled to Haiti myself, met the amazing people from FEJ and spent time with the children and staff at their facilities, that I fully understood the impact this project will have on FEJ and the communities it unselfishly serves.
Traveling with Roger and HOK's lead architect on the project, Thomas Knittel, I spent time with our wonderful hosts Gina and Lucien Duncan, founders of FEJ, a couple who has dedicated their lives to humanitarian work and creating a future for Haitian families. Gina describes FEJ's work best when she says, "we are creating a model to educate entire communities, especially women and children, to create a change in the culture and to break the cycle of poverty."
|USGBC's Marisa Long and Roger Limoges
After several years, Gina and Lucien Duncan founded Fondation Enfant Jesus as a way to build upon and expand the services at Lamardelle, create additional humanitarian programs in other locations and to begin operating orphanages, also known in Haiti as "crèches," in Lamardelle and Kenscoff as well as a crèche in Port-au-Prince, the one that was completely destroyed by the earthquake. FEJ is one of Haiti's most respected foundations, and the Duncan's are proud of its impeccable reputation for how they handle adoptions. Gina is quick to note that "FEJ finds parents for children, not children for parents." In a country plagued with children in need of loving homes, putting the young ones' well being and emotional needs first has been her mission.
I had the opportunity to stay at the Kenscoff crèche, which is located high up in the mountains of Haiti, accessible only by a long, winding road that's paved intermittently near the top and takes nearly two hours to get to from Port-au-Prince. There are about 35 children at this location, ranging from two-months to around 10 years old. The caregivers are wonderful, and the kids are amazing, but it was an emotional experience as several of the younger children raised their arms in competition to be embraced from the moment we arrived. I was reassured to learn that most of the Kenscoff children have been adopted and are going through a transition process. The children at the Lamardelle location have a future more uncertain, but after being orphaned and abandoned, and far too often handicapped, sick or malnourished, they are finally in a caring and safe environment thanks to FEJ.

By rebuilding the Port-au-Prince location into a brand new LEED facility, Project Haiti doesn't just become a victory for the green building movement. This building is providing new hope and resources to FEJ and the Haitian community, ensuring many more families can be helped through FEJ's services. Perhaps the most important element of Project Haiti is that through your support, the rebuilt Orphanage & Children's Center in Port-au-Prince will take the burden of rebuilding off of FEJ, allowing them to focus on what they do best – improving communities, educating women and finding homes for the children who need them most.
We need your continued support, as we are about $250,000 shy of our $1 million goal to complete this project. Please visit www.usgbc.org/haiti and make your contribution today.

Technology is always marching on, and for the most part, that's a good thing. Gadgets get more efficient, more powerful, cheaper, smaller, all around nicer. But for every innovation that you don't know how you ever lived without, there's something—usually something little—that you miss. What old, antiquated gadget makes your heart swell with nostalgia, even if it's demonstrably inferior to what followed it in just about every single way?

1. Don't go on a date just because it's Valentine's Day. Don't allow the pressures of Valentine's Day cause you to make a desperate decision. If he's not your type or you're simply settling for the sake of having a date on Valentine's, cancel and take yourself out! Your time and your life are too precious to waste on anyone that doesn't qualify for your time and space.
*The Heart of Friendship-Join a few friends of your other single girlfriends for dinner, the comedy club, or a pamper party.
*Will I be my Valentine? Use this as an opportunity to do a special makeover for yourself or pamper you with a pedicure or spa treatment.
*Heart Donor-Take the evening and go over to the Children's Hospital and read books or do a puppet show for children who are suffering from heart conditions. This small donation will mean the world to a child who's clinging on to their heart and hope.
*Spend the evening on that special hobby of yours or doing that "thing" that you've always wanted to do but never got around to it.
2. Don't use this Valentine's Day to go to the movies, boring! Instead get creative:
*Icicle Hearts! Okay, you haven't been on skates since you were 6 years old and your date can barely walk on two feet; but ice skating can bring out a whole 'notha' adventure in you that you never knew existed.
*Heart on a Roller Coaster! It's amazing fun and guess what? It doesn't cost a thing: Snow sledding! Before you say no, this frosty treat is a sure heartbeat! Grab a sled board or card board box and you and your Valentine will roll down that hill in laughter! I promise you that by the time you get down that hill, you'll be racing back up for another round.
*Recipe for Love! Everyone's going out to dinner and the restaurant will be packed with at least a 2-hour wait! Call the Culinary Arts School in your area and schedule a 1-hour cooking class for two. You and your valentine can become chefs for the evening and learn how to prepare a new dish and then enjoy the masterpiece you've created! Bon' appetite!
3. Don't break your heart! Or your Father's. The worst thing you can do is have sex with someone who has not paid the price to have your heart through marriage. As a single person, when you have sex, you open your heart, your body, and your spirit to damage, leaving it broken and bruised. Besides, giving up yourself in exchange for a dinner and a movie is literally selling yourself cheap! You are worth more than that; let your date know that you are not up for sale; that cupid doesn't decide who you give your heart and your body to, but God does and you are not willing to break His heart when He's paid such a high price to have you. Keep your heart and your body pure. Leave sex for a night more special than Valentine's Day: your honeymoon!
*Do set clear boundaries that will safeguard and protect you from the "oops, I don't know how I ended up sleeping with him". "Oops" is nothing more than a lack of preparation or planning to succeed in sexual purity. Letting dinner end too late or allowing him to come in your home late at night after dinner is an accident waiting to happen. Everyone knows that the night time is the "right time". The body is at a disadvantage the later it gets and doesn't have the full strength to make wise decisions like it could at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Plan against the late night trap. If you fail to plan, you are planning to sexually fail. Make this Valentine's Day an enjoyable one that honors and upholds your values, your integrity, and your faith.

Following up on our last blog, here 's a taste of the action from three of our recent Write an Opera school performances.
Young students wrote, designed and performed everything in these works, helped by their teachers who attended our Write an Opera training course. The students also took charge of all the marketing, front-of-house arrangements, stage management and technical aspects of their performances. Take a look at the pictures; there's an amazing range of talent and skill on show.

scar needed a new coded website design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 10 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
This is a one page design for a website similar to: http://www.5starringtones.com - Keep in mind that Im looking for a similar concept but definately not a similar design. Im looking for a website design template to use. The domain name to be used is: http://www.ringtonegurus.com
A good color combo that you can test out besides white and blue, is this green/white/on dark grey - http://www.franticindustries.com/ (p.s. I also like that designs header)
Desired Color Scheme:
Light Colors
Desired Style:
Web 2.0 iMac style.
Accepted File Formats:
.psd + sliced html
Considering that the page I wish to create is only one page, and the main part of this page is the actual design, i've decided to put up this contest. I like creativity, and as creative as I may be, I'm just not good with photoshop and hence can't do this project myself. Since i'm looking for a permanent designer, the winner of this contest will not only receive the contest money, but will also be asked to work on a few other design projects I have.
Good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing these.

(CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama took his campaign to Miami, Florida, on Saturday with a message to the nation's mayors: I'll be your ally in Washington; Sen. John McCain will not.
Speaking to the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee praised McCain's service to the country but chastised him for not "proposing a strategy for American cities" hit hard by tough economic times.
"Because while Sen. McCain is a true patriot ... he won't be that partner. His priorities are very different from yours and mine. ... He isn't proposing a strategy for America's cities. Instead, he's calling for nearly $2 trillion in tax breaks for big corporations and the wealthiest Americans."
Obama also hit hard on McCain's trip to Iowa this week to see firsthand the effects of devastating flooding.
"Both Sen. McCain and I have traveled recently to the areas that have been devastated by floods. And I know that Sen. McCain felt as strongly as I did feeling enormous sympathy for the victims of the recent flooding. ... And I'm sure they appreciated the sentiment, but they probably would have appreciated it even more if Sen. McCain hadn't opposed legislation to fund levees and flood control programs, which he considers pork."
Shortly after Obama's speech, the McCain campaign lashed out, saying the Illinois senator opposed and even voted against a bipartisan effort in the Senate by McCain; Sens. Russ Feingold, D-Wisconsin; and Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri; to ensure that levees were fixed first.
"It is beyond the pale that Barack Obama would attack John McCain for actually trying to fix the problem and change the way Washington works. Barack Obama's willingness to continue the status quo pork-barrel politics in Washington, and then engage in political attacks that entirely disregard the facts, once again fundamentally shows that he's nothing more than a typical politician," McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said.
At issue is the 2007 Water Resources Development Act, a $23 billion bill that funded levee and flood control programs along with dozens of other projects across the country, including Everglades and other habitat restoration, emergency water supply storage, lock and dam security, and water quality improvement.
The bill passed Congress, with Obama in favor and McCain opposed, although neither took part in the final vote.
The measure was vetoed by President Bush as too expensive, but that veto was overridden, a first for the president. Neither McCain nor Obama participated in the override vote.
The Senate votes were 91-4 for the first vote and 79-14 for the override.
During the initial debate in the Senate, Obama voted against an amendment, sponsored by Feingold and co-sponsored by McCain and others, that would have established a commission to prioritize water projects, with flood control at the top of the list.
Thirty-five Republicans joined 34 Democrats in rejecting the amendment. Although he was a co-sponsor, McCain did not vote on the amendment. McCaskill, who was not a co-sponsor, voted in favor of it.
Meanwhile, Obama praised several mayors, including New York's Michael Bloomberg's efforts to find new ways to improve his city's economic and crime rates.
Bloomberg, who called on the Jewish community in Florida this week to avoid rumors about Obama, has yet to endorse either candidate.
Obama also took time to thank mayors for their help on the "front lines in our communities."
"You may get more than your fair share of the blame sometimes. You may not always be appreciated. But when a disaster strikes -- a Katrina ... or a six-alarm blaze -- it's city hall we lean on, it's city hall we call first and city hall we depend on to get us through tough times. "
On Saturday, he also proposed a policy initiative aimed spurring economic growth in communities.
The Innovation Clusters program will provide planning and matching grants for regional business, government and university leaders to "collaborate on leveraging a region's existing assets -- from transportation infrastructure to universities -- to enhance long-term regional growth," according to his campaign.
"There's no better place to start than by investing in the clusters of growth and innovation that are springing up across this country. ... When we take the different assets that are scattered throughout our communities ... and bring them all together so they can learn from one another and share ideas, you get the kind of creative thinking that doesn't come in isolation."
He said that plan will lead to "more innovation and entrepreneurship and real economic benefits like new jobs and higher wages," citing Pennsylvania's Keystone Innovation Zones, which he says have led to the formation of nearly 200 new companies.
Obama said that if he is elected, his administration will offer $200 million a year in competitive matching grants for state and local governments for regional economic growth.
Meanwhile, Obama heads west next week to campaign in two states he hopes he can turn blue this November. He is scheduled to hold campaign events in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Monday and Las Vegas, Nevada, on Tuesday.
CNN considers Nevada a battleground state, one that both parties think they can win in the general election. President Bush carried Nevada in 2004, but by only 2 points over John Kerry.
CNN also considers New Mexico a state that leans Republican, but the Obama campaign has the state in its sights.
President Bush won New Mexico as well four years ago, but by only 1 percent, and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson is a major Obama supporter.
Geography also comes into play here. Arizona borders both states, and that is McCain's home state. Interactive: CNN's electoral vote map »
The presumptive GOP presidential nominee will also go west next week. He starts his week with fundraisers and campaign events in California.
CNN's Ed Hornick, Steve Brusk, Tasha Diakides, Alexander Marquardt, Rebecca Sinderbrand, Paul Steinhauser and Chris Welch contributed to this report.

TODAY I RECEIVED an e-mail from a friend who was sharing an article by Julie Polter titled "Martha Stewartship" (May-June 2002). While I did not particularly like the article, I wasn't too shocked by it—many "journalists" have recycled the same unimaginative sentiment before. However, after I replied to my friend's e-mail, I went back to the article to find out more about the source. I was shocked to see that you consider yourself a Christian ministry.
You may "seek to be guided by the biblical principles of justice, mercy, and humility," but none of these virtues were demonstrated by Polter. Furthermore, it is this kind of hypocrisy and self-righteous condescension that is a complete turn-off to non-Christians and makes it impossible for those of us who do try to follow God's word to "shine our light." Practice what you preach.

Last week was a whirlwind at school – with a ton of fantastic opportunities to have small-group chats with inspirational leaders.
Don't believe me?
- Monday – lunch with Melisa Miller, President of Alliance Data (and my future boss!) with a small group from my Advanced Leadership Class
- Tuesday – Super Bowl Ad Review with AMP and a few marketing professors
- Wednesday – lunch with Jeff Eldersveld from the Columbus Blue Jackets – data analytics meets marketing
- Thursday – lunch with Dr. Angela Joyner, Vice President/General Manager at ConAgra Foods, Inc., courtesy of the Black MBA Association
Told you. Whirlwind.
On Thursday, a few females were asked to join Dr. Joyner for a lunch before her afternoon session to talk about women in the business world and leadership positions. I was so honored to be part of this event and have the chance to ask some questions to Dr. Joyner in a more personal setting. It was a very open dialogue and we discussed female leadership, tricks for approaching conflict and then general work-life balance concerns.
Then Dr. Joyner spoke to a larger group later that afternoon. I filled several pages of notes during her session, but I summarized some of my favorite take-aways below.
These are great tips for business school, the workplace and life in general 🙂
- Prioritize
- Plug the leaky buckets – allow yourself more time to be effective — set guidelines and rules
- Get the facts at work – Dr. Joyner said this beautifully; find out what good, better and a rock-star looks like at your company
- Identify your gifts & be an expert in something
- Create a powerful brand
- Surround yourself with the right people
- Find your entourage and create raving fans
- Authentically promote yourself
- Reflect, revise and renew – celebrate all of your accomplishments and look at your life with open eyes
Fisher is constantly bringing in inspiring and note-worthy guests that speak to so many topics.
As you can see from the list at the beginning of the post – one week was full of diverse speakers from a wide range of organizations. The meeting with Dr. Joyner inspired me — but so did the lunch on Monday with Melisa Miller. She got me so excited about returning to Alliance Data and working every day to make an impact. However, my Wednesday lunch with Jeff Eldersveld from the Columbus Blue Jackets was extremely informative.
Just another great week here at Fisher!

In the basement of a building on the University of Colorado Boulder's east campus, sleep researchers have been busy trying to explain one of the biggest mysteries of parenting: Why won't my child just go to sleep?
The Sleep and Development Lab, headed up by integrative physiology Assistant Professor Monique LeBourgeois, specializes in early childhood sleep: why it's important, what happens when there isn't enough of it and why sometimes it seems so hard to come by.
This fall, researchers at the lab published two new studies, one of which explains why some toddlers take so long to drift off. The problem, according to the study published in the journal Mind, Brain and Education, may be that the child's bedtime doesn't coincide with his or her biological clock.
The researchers recorded the time in the evening when the hormone melatonin increased, signaling the start of the biological night, in 14 toddlers. They found that toddlers who were put to bed before their melatonin increased took longer to actually fall asleep.
"There is relatively little research out there on how the physiology of toddlers may contribute to the emergence of sleep problems," said LeBourgeois. "Sleeping at the wrong 'biological clock' time leads to sleep difficulties, like insomnia, in adults."
While adults get to choose their own bedtime, toddlers rarely have this option. "This study is the first to show that a poor fit between bedtimes selected by the parents of toddlers and the rise in their evening melatonin production increases their likelihood of nighttime settling difficulties," said LeBourgeois.
The findings are important because about 25 percent of toddlers and preschoolers have problems settling after bedtime, said LeBourgeois. Evening sleep disturbance can include difficulties falling asleep, bedtime resistance, tantrums, and episodes known as "curtain calls" that manifest themselves as calling out from bed or coming out of the bedroom, often repeatedly, for another story, glass of water or bathroom trip.
Getting enough sleep as a toddler may be critical to the maturing of the child's brain, according to the second study published this fall, this one led by Salome Kurth, a postdoctoral researcher in the Sleep and Development Lab.
Kurth used electroencephalograms, or EEGs, to measure the brain activity of eight sleeping children multiple times at the ages of 2, 3 and 5 years for the study published in the journal Brain Sciences. "Interestingly, during a night of sleep, connections weakened within hemispheres but strengthened between hemispheres," Kurth said.
Scientists have known that the brain changes drastically during early childhood: New connections are formed, others are removed and a fatty layer called "myelin" forms around nerve fibers in the brain. The growth of myelin strengthens the connections by speeding up the transfer of information.
Maturation of nerve fibers leads to improvement in skills such as language, attention and impulse control. But it is still not clear what role sleep plays in the development of such brain connections—or how sleep disruption during childhood may affect brain development and behavior, though the lab is already involved in studies that they hope will shed light on those questions.
"I believe inadequate sleep in childhood may affect the maturation of the brain related to the emergence of developmental or mood disorders," Kurth said.

"The Media Can Change Everything"
In Afghanistan, journalists are under pressure, self-censorship is widespread, and there is still no independent national newspaper. In this interview with Martin Gerner, Samander Rahimullah, head of the Afghan Independent Journalist Organization, explains what could be done to improve the situation
How would you evaluate the current state of the media and journalism in Afghanistan?
Samander Rahimullah: We currently have 98 radio stations in Afghanistan, 16 TV stations, and hundreds of print outlets in Kabul and throughout the country. After a very successful start in the early years [after the fall of the Taliban, the ed.], the media have been under a lot of pressure since mid-2005 when a lot of conservatives and former mujaheddin were elected to parliament and began putting pressure on journalists.
Also, the ulama, the community of legal scholars of Islam and the sharia, has recently gained more influence. Although President Karzai initially stood up for the freedom of the media, he is now silent. Recently, he even gave in to conservative demands and supported the banning of programs on three television channels. We are a year away from the next elections and Karzai does not want to get in trouble with influential people.
What kinds of problems do Afghan journalists face today?
Rahimullah: Over the past year, four media workers were killed in Afghanistan, 38 journalists were injured, threatened, or intimidated in both targeted and indiscriminate attacks, and 20 were detained, charged, or abducted by security forces or the Taliban. This is why self-censorship is a common phenomenon.
The world has been following the case of Sayed Parwez Kambaksh, who has been sentenced to death. Are you optimistic that he will be released in the near future?
Rahimullah: I think so. There has been considerable pressure from the international community. His case has been sent to a higher court of appeal. On the other hand, such cases – I mean the copying and distribution of controversial contents from the Internet – will occur again in the future. Censorship is growing and unless things change, more journalists will be arrested for such things.
How has the war, especially in the South and East, influenced the work of journalists?
Rahimullah: The main change is that up until last year, the Taliban did not understand the importance of the media; now, however, they have started using the media for their own ends.
In what way?
Rahimullah: Their attitudes are changing. The Taliban are now sending weekly text messages to journalists. They are "informing" the media about the number of ISAF soldiers or Afghan police officers and soldiers they have supposedly killed. They are giving this kind of information to journalists in a relatively friendly way.
The Afghan government, on the other hand, is not able to share information with the media; it doesn't have the necessary capacity. Government offices often have no media department, no spokesperson. Only the president's office has a media department, but this office is hiding information from the president. We have recent information that more than 50 letters have been sent to the president by journalists and the international community about cases involving the violation of rights, but the president has not been informed about any of them.
While the Taliban's understanding of the importance of the media is growing, the government is trying to hide bad news. This is why the government is always under pressure, why its public image is weak. People are loosing confidence in the president and his ministers.
You will be in Europe for a few days, meeting influential media experts and political players. Is there anything to which you would like to draw their attention?
Rahimullah: We ask the international community not to forget Afghanistan. The media is an important tool when it comes to strengthening democracy. Although Afghan journalists need to build capacity and financial support, we still do not have a major independent national newspaper even after seven years. We have small village radio stations that are not able to make their own local programs and depend on the capital. Afghanistan also needs more investigative journalism that focuses on the issues of corruption, land-grabbing, human right violations, and the lack of transparency in government and election procedures.
The Kambaksh case has exposed the lack of independence of the judiciary, but freedom of the media depends on a functioning judicial system. Has any progress been made in this regard?
Rahimullah: In Afghanistan, the most corrupt part of our administration is the judiciary. Although donor countries are helping in this respect with different programs there is no real change. After ten years in journalism, my experience is that the only way to change things is to report them.
If we train 100 journalists to exclusively cover the Afghan judiciary system for six months or a year and get them to write in-depth stories from national, provincial, and district courts, things would begin to change. It would mean writing about corrupt, poorly trained judges, about their low salaries, and about local commanders pressurizing judges.
If the Afghan media would report all these things, our people could also help the international community to plan better and spend aid money more effectively. I think the media can change everything.

WILKES-BARRE - A female teacher at Wyoming Valley West High School had sex with a male student five times in the last week, according to arrest papers filed Thursday night.
Lauren Harrington-Cooper, 31, an English teacher from Plymouth, performed oral sex on the senior three times and had intercourse with him twice, the alleged victim told authorities. She is charged with institutional sexual assault.
According to the arrest affidavit:
The sister of the alleged victim told him Harrington-Cooper said he was "hot" on Dec. 13. The sister gave him Harrington-Cooper's phone number.
The teacher and the student began texting each other later that day. They agreed to "hang out," and she began to pick him up in front of his house or around the corner.
The parents of the alleged victim discovered their son had a "sexually explicit conversation" with a teacher after he borrowed his mother's laptop and used the free texting website Pinger.
Principal Erin Keating spoke to the parents about the texts and informed Gina Kotowski, a Plymouth police officer and the school's resource officer, of the allegations about 1:30 p.m. Thursday. Charles J. Balogh, a detective for the Luzerne County District Attorney's Office, assisted with the investigation.
Balogh and Kotowski determined Harrington-Cooper was the teacher based on information in the texts. They interviewed her after informing her of Constitutional rights.
The teacher admitted she knew the alleged victim was a senior at the school in Plymouth and admitted to picking him up and driving around with him. She told authorities she had intercourse with him twice in her vehicle and oral sex with him once in her vehicle.
Harrington-Cooper was arraigned Thursday night before Magisterial District Judge Martin Kane and released after Kane set an unsecured bail amount of $25,000. Kane advised her she would be immediately incarcerated if she did not attend a preliminary hearing on Dec. 26 before Magisterial District Judge Donald Whittaker.
She arrived at the arraignment in a Plymouth police cruiser with Balogh and Kotowski. After the arraignment, an unidentified man picked her up at the magisterial judge's office. She hid her face and declined to speak with news reporters.
Her salary as a teacher is $45,075 a year, and the Wyoming Valley West School District has employed her since September 2012, records show. Keating and Superintendent Charles Suppon didn't return messages seeking comment.
Harrington-Cooper earned a degree in communications from the University of Scranton in 2005. Two years later, she entered the Fast Track Education Certification Program at King's College to teach English as a career. She is also a dance instructor at Body Language Studios in Kingston, according to the studio's website.

I have to make a program that compares two given text files and then tells the user if there is or isn't any differences. Then if there is, print the line number and the two lines. I got most of it but I couldn't complete the readFrom method and I wasn't sure what I was doing wrong. My teacher gave me help with it and said to fill in the blank, but I'm clueless at this point. And until I get that method done, I can't really test the whole program. So if you guys could help it'd be great. Also, it's an intro course so try to keep it simple lol thanks
import java.util.*; import java.io.*; //This program compares 2 text files and checks for differences in the two public class CompareFiles { //This method explains the program, asks for the file names, and calls the compareFiles method public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException { System.out.println("This program compares two files for differences"); // outputs program description System.out.println(); Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter a first file name"); //asks for first file name String name1 = console.nextLine(); //saves file as name1 System.out.println("Enter a second file name"); //asks for second file name String name2 = console.nextLine(); //saves as name2 System.out.println(); Scanner infile1 = new Scanner(new File(name1)); //reads the text Scanner infile2 = new Scanner(new File(name2)); compareFiles(infile1, infile2); //calls the compareFiles method } //this method compares the two files public static void compareFiles(Scanner infile1, Scanner infile2) { boolean different = false; //sets a new boolean variable to false int line = 0; //sets a line variable to 0 while (infile1.hasNextLine() || infile2.hasNextLine()) { // if both files have a next line String line1 = readFrom(infile1); String line2 = readFrom(infile2); line++; if (!line1.equals(line2)) { //if line 1 does not equal line 2 if (!different) { // if different variable is false System.out.println("Differences found"); //tell user there is a difference in the files different = false; //set different to false } System.out.println("Line " + line + ":"); //output line number printLine("<", line1); //calls the printLine method printLine(">", line2); System.out.println(); //blank line } if (line1.equals(line2)) { //if line 1 equals line 2 System.out.println("No differences found"); //no differences found } } } //returns a line of text public static String readFrom(Scanner infile) { if (infile.hasNextLine()) { ____ infile.nextLine(); } else { return null; } } //prints the given line or says it is the end of the file public static void printLine(String prefix, String line) { System.out.print(prefix + " "); if (line == null) { //if there are no more lines System.out.println("no such line (end-of-file)"); //tell the user } else { System.out.println(line); //if there is a line, print the line } } }


text: TONIGHT I PRAY that you worship the Lord Jesus continually. I pray that you dwell in the beauty of His holiness. I pray that you appreciate the beauty that our Father has made for us all to admire and enjoy. A beautiful rose a glorious sunset or the dynamic splendor of the oceans. Some people just rush past them never giving the Lord a thought or thank Him for all of the beauty He has gifted us with on this earth… I pray that you proclaim HIS splendor in our world and the glory of HIS creation. Trust the Lord with all of your thoughts and prayers and never drift away from Him in these last days. Keep your heart open to the Holy Spirit and when He warns you that you are slipping away from Him hold even tighter to His hand. In Jesus name we pray, Amen and Amen… I Love you!!! God bless you all!!! ♥♥♥

In this segment, Ira talks with the composer, the director, and the lead of the opera 'Dr. Atomic,' taking the stage in a new production this week at New York's Metropolitan Opera. The opera, by composer John Adams, examines the conditions and attitudes in Los Alamos leading up to the Manhattan Project's 'Trinity' atomic test. Much of the libretto is made up of actual statements from scientists and military and government officials.
The opera made its debut in 2005 at the San Francisco Opera. This week a new production of the opera, directed by Penny Woolcock, opens at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. In this segment, Adams, Woolcock, and lead performer Gerald Finley, who plays Robert Oppenheimer, join Ira to talk about the performance and the challenges of bringing science to the stage.

Are you a conspiracy theorist? If not, perhaps you should be. Yes, there have certainly been a lot of "conspiracy theories" over the years that have turned out not to be accurate. However, the truth is that a large number of very prominent conspiracy theories have turned out to actually be true. 16 Conspiracy Theories That Turned Out To Be TrueSo the next time that you run into some "tin foil hat wearing lunatics", you might want to actually listen to what they have to say. They may actually know some things that you do not. In fact, one recent study found that "conspiracy theorists" are actually more sane than the general population. So the next time you are tempted to dismiss someone as a "conspiracy theorist", just remember that the one that is crazy might actually be you. The following are 16 popular conspiracy theories that turned out to be true…

According to this 50 year anniversary book (one of many), it was New Orleans Mafia boss Carlos Marcello as the highest person behind the killings (JFK and Oswald), yeah right.
With over a 1,000 books on record covering this tragedy and two official govt investigations that conflict with each other...and by the way the most current and comprehensive investigation (the U.S. House Select Committee on assassinations - USHSCA 1978-79) is most often ignored by the establishment - it concluded their WAS a CONSPIRACY and then it went no further! This book is a quick read with a great deal of Carlos Marcello history. But Vaccara must not of read or studied the wealth of other information available.

Here are some websites I've discovered via other websites, with excellent shareable content …
I'm a regular consumer of and contributor to Pinterest and StumbleUpon. StumbleUpon's mission, of course, is to deliver the best of the web based on personal tastes, and I happen to use Pinterest in a way that leads me to other sites with similar content — i.e., compelling visual art and photography.
I've arrived at many destinations just by clicking through to the original sources of things I find interesting:
The more this happens with the same sites, the more I seek them out specifically. I now frequently rebroadcast content from these portals on my Twitter stream, or mention them here — in addition to simply enjoying what they have to offer.
If you're a fan of my stuff (chances are that's the case since you've read this far), definitely have a look at these others – you just might find a new favorite.

There's nothing worse than an overly chatty hairdresser. Someone harping on about their snotty-nosed children or how lazy their husband is. Bring on the robots, I say. Especially if they can store memories on a customer's preferred massage treatment.
Unfortunately, these robots won't be replacing Kelly or Charlene at the local Cut 'N Trim anytime soon. Instead, they'll be assisting the elderly Japanese in care homes, with the robots also moonlighting as wheelchairs and electric beds for the individual.
Betty, which is the name I've just christened the bot, also has another trick Kelly and Charlene can't do. She's got 16 fingers, which makes every stroke on your scalp feel like like a heavenly massage sent from Akihabara. And in case you weren't entirely convinced this was a robot, there's the ubiquitous LEDs too. [Engadget]

|Researchers have found fossils of two species of penguins that once inhabited the area around Peru during the middle and late Eocene period. One, Perudyptes devriesi, would rank with the present-day king penguin in terms of size. The other ancient penguin, however, named Icadyptes salasi, stood over five feet tall and wielded a seven-inch beak. We'll talk with one of the researchers about the two species, reported this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Kenneth Campbell Lochhead
Canadian, 1926–2006
Sky Location, from the L Series, 1967
acrylic on canvas
346 x 206 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Gustavo and Gloria da Roza
Painting, Canadian Modern (1910-1979)
Kenneth Lochhead was associated with a group of painters, known as the Regina Five, who brought international attention to Saskatchewan in the 1960s. Sky Location exemplifies what is called colour field painting, or post-painterly abstraction, which was championed especially by the influential American art critic Clement Greenberg. Consisting of raw, unsized, canvas stained in divisions of saturated colour, the monumental painting draws attention to the picture plane itself rather than forms within it. The visual effect is a poetic materialism, in which the physical conditions of painting itself are made elegantly clear. This painting was gifted to the WAG by Gustavo da Roza, the architect responsible for designing the WAG building in 1969, and his wife Gloria.

China has tried to control its booming car population in very different, often strange ways. Part of the reason is to control pollution, which large Chinese provinces are quickly becoming known for. Others, like license plate lotteries, are to restrict the number of cars. But there's still a huge demand.
According to Quartz and some Chinese websites, there are three main ways drivers are skirting the Beijing lottery:
• Get a plate from a different province (sounds straightforward, has some downsides)
• Rent a license plate (costly, more complicated)
• Get a "car carrier" with your car
That's the most sketchy. Apparently, some car dealers in Beijing will markup the price of a used car for the right to use a previous owner's license plate. The scheme is called a "car carrier" and it means the former owner still owns the title to the car, which sounds like the most ludicrous reason to pay more for a car.
Aside from registering your car somewhere else, all of these sound like strange ways just to get your own car. Although so does living in New York and parking your car in Connecticut, but that makes sense for some people.

Flushing the water lines inside your home can help maintain water quality. Flushing is easy - either follow the steps below or watch our short video for an animated tutorial.
Flushing procedures:
- Run cold water from the highest point in your home, which is typically a bathroom/bathtub faucet. Allow a strong stream of cold water to run for a minimum of five minutes.
- Flushing a toilet twice or running a shower or bath will flush your lines.
- Allow the cold water line to run for a minimum of five minutes before using the water for cooking or drinking.
- If work is performed on your outdoor water lines
Public health is our number one priority, Louisville's drinking water does not contain lead when it leaves the treatment plant and meets all Environmental Protection Agency standards for lead.

Shoulder Instability
Shoulder instability occurs when the upper-end of the arm bone, known as the humerus, slides partially or completely out of the shoulder socket.
The disorder is classified by how much the humerus moves and the direction of the movement:
- Subluxation—The humeral head moves partially out of the shoulder socket.
- Dislocation—The humeral head moves completely out of the socket.
- Anterior—The humeral head moves toward the front.
- Posterior—The humeral head moves toward the back.
- Inferior—The humeral head drops downward.
- Multidirectional—The humeral head moves toward difference places.
|Shoulder Instability
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of shoulder instability include:
- Trauma, such as a fall with an outstretched arm or a direct blow to the shoulder
- Previous shoulder dislocation
Athletic activity, especially:
- Baseball—pitching
- Football—tackling
- Tennis
- Gymnastics
- Weight-lifting
- Any collision or contact sport
- Volleyball
- Swimming, especially backstroke or butterfly
Congenital collagen disorders, such as:
- Marfan syndrome —a connective tissue condition
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome —a condition marked by loose joints
- Family members with shoulder instability
Symptoms may come on suddenly or develop over time. Shoulder instability may cause:
- Pain in the shoulder area
- Shoulder or arm weakness
- Shoulder may feel loose
- Shoulder may slip out of place
- Numb feeling down the arm
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Special attention will be given to your shoulders. Your doctor will determine your range of motion and try to move the humeral head within the socket.
Imaging tests evaluate your shoulder and surrounding structures. These may include:
Arthroscopy is done with an instrument with a long tube and miniature camera on the end. Repairs or corrections can be made while the doctor evaluates the shoulder joint.
Therapy will depend on the extent of the injury, the cause, and other factors. Treatment may include:
- Rest—Avoid activities that produce pain or stress the joint.
- Ice—This helps to control pain and inflammation, especially after exercise.
- Medication—Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin or ibuprofen, may be given to manage pain.
Rehabilitation—This can last several months and may include:
- Physical therapy to strengthen the muscles that control the shoulder joint, particularly the internal rotators of the shoulder
- Specific exercises for certain sports or job activities
- Learning how to modify activities to prevent reinjury
- Surgery—Many different procedures may be used to correct shoulder instability. The goal is to fix the cause. An arthroscopic or an open technique may be used. After surgery, the arm is kept from moving for 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the procedure.
Guidelines to help protect the shoulder from injury include:
- Doing regular exercises to strengthen the supporting muscles
- Using proper athletic training methods
- Increasing the duration or intensity of your exercises gradually
- Modifying activities to prevent excessive external rotation and overhead motions of the shoulder
