The dangerous rise of anti-Semitism on American college campuses
This is a useful companion piece to my earlier post about the antisemitic images making the round on Facebook, comparing Jacob Rothschild to the incredibly evil Mr. Burns on The Simpsons. Guest-posting at The Independent Sentinel, Tammi Rossman-Benjamin looks at the rising anti-Semitism on America's college campuses, and she does so in a very clever way. Rather than just pointing to the acts of anti-Semitism, she compares the college and media responses to anti-Semitism, versus the same institutions' responses to anti-Black, anti-gay, anti-Hispanic acts.

This month we mark the 35th anniversary of the opening of the National Air and Space Museum building on July 1, 1976. To tell the truth, my memories of the months leading up to that moment are something of a blur. I reported to work at the Museum for the first time on February 4, 1974. As junior member of the Astronautics Department, my boss was Frederick C. Durant, III, an engineer and certified space cadet who had served as President of both the American Rocket Society and the International Astronautical Federation and was a key advisor to the U.S. military, intelligence, and civilian space-flight programs of the 1950s and '60s. Fred had come to the museum in 1964 to lead it into the Space Age. Close to four decades later, he remains one of the best bosses I have ever had. When I arrived at the National Air and Space Museum, Astro, as we called our department, consisted of just four curator/subject matter specialists and two support staff, shoe-horned into the northeast tower of the Arts and Industries Building, with a splendid view of the dumpster in the parking lot of the building (the target for empty soda cans tossed from the second story window on slow Friday afternoons) and the dust cloud rising from the construction site next door where the Hirshhorn Museum was being built. The space kept getting smaller as we added another curator and two more support staff by the time we moved into the office areas of the new building in the spring of 1975.
We were obviously focused on collecting objects and planning the galleries that would fill the new building on opening day. We got something of a head start while we were still at the A&I building – planning and producing a series of trial versions of exhibitions that would be included in the new building. If memory serves, these mini exhibits included: World War I Aviation, Exhibition Flight, Balloons and Airships, Life in the Universe, and Apollo to the Moon. While we were never able to "moth ball" these preview exhibitions and transfer them directly into the new setting, it did at least give us a real opportunity to develop the ideas and the general plan for what visitors would see on opening day.
Michael Collins, Command Module Pilot of Apollo 11, was the director of the museum, a fact in which all of us took genuine pride. At the same time there was never any doubt in our minds that Mike's deputy, Mel Zisfien, was the guy looking over our shoulders. Mel managed the process of gallery development and watched over the team of curators, designers and fabricators who were creating the galleries. Suffice to say that Mel was both a big picture kind of guy, and a detail man who demanded to be kept up to the minute with regard to our progress, or lack of same. Looking back over the gulf of years what I most remember is the collection of incredibly bright, talented, and energetic -- if sometime quirky and exasperating -- people who populated the National Air and Space Museum staff in the months, weeks, and days leading up to the opening. It was a privilege to be included in their number.

- Yield
- Makes 6 servings
- 4 flat anchovies, drained, or 1 tablespoon anchovy paste
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 to 3 teaspoons water (optional)
- 2 (1 3/4-inch-thick) porterhouse steaks (5 pounds total)
- 8 cups bite-size pieces mixed greens such as romaine, frisée, and red leaf (8 oz)
- 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup Niçoise olives (5 1/2 ounces)
- Accompaniment:Pommes Paillasson
- Purée anchovies with vinegar in a blender. With motor running, add oil in a slow stream and blend until emulsified. Transfer to a bowl. If dressing is too thick, whisk in water 1 teaspoon at a time to thin to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Pat steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat an oiled ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then grill steaks, in batches if necessary, until well browned on both sides, about 14 minutes total.
- Transfer steaks to a shallow baking pan and roast in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted 2 inches into thickest part of meat (do not touch bone) registers 125°F, about 15 minutes. Transfer steaks to a cutting board, reserving meat juices in pan, and let stand 5 minutes.
- Toss greens, parsley, and olives with enough dressing to coat and season with salt and pepper. Cut steak across grain into thin slices. Drizzle with reserved pan juices or remaining vinaigrette and serve with salad.

In the roots and country music worlds, there's a long-standing history of holding events that border on variety shows. From the legendary Louisiana Hayride radio show that helped introduce audiences to Elvis Presley to the current corporate country vibe of the Grand Ole Opry and the never-ending NPR staple A Prairie Home Companion, there's something about the folksy nature of the music that lends itself to a variety format.
It's in that spirit of downhome diversity that this weekend's Ventucky Hayride was created.
Calling himself the "instigator" of the idea and not the founder of the event, Matt Sayles of the Ventucky String Band, through a series of e-mails and conversations, got liked-minded artists, the Sideshow Preachers and Big Tweed on board, and the rough concept of the Hayride was off and running.
Initially, the vision was for a substantial event in a large venue with multiple stages and performers, but having learned firsthand, with several first-time large music events in the area recently underperforming or being canceled altogether, they wisely decided to scale it down for the initial run.
With the help of Hi Hat Entertainment, which runs the excellent music series at Yolie's every Friday, they secured the Mexican restaurant turned part-time venue, and they are adding an additional stage so there will be no breaks in between acts save for a traditional intermission.
While there won't be any comedians or skits to speak of, there will be an MC, raffles and what everyone seems to be buzzing about, some very special guests that organizers are keeping mum about, saying only, "You won't be disappointed."
Normally, such talk is a setup for a letdown, but given the circle the organizers roll with, there's a good chance that one of those guests could be a bona fide country music celeb.
"Were combining forces," explains the ever-energetic Sayles. "We're sharing the weight of putting it on, but I think that that bodes well for its future. We definitely want to make it a yearly event and expand it into a full-on variety-style event, but we all agreed to focus the first one on what we know best, which is the music aspect."
And while, sadly, there won't be an actual hayride taking place, Sideshow Preachers head honcho Erika Harding laughingly insists, "There will be straw bales. You just can't have an event like this without straw bales."
The Ventucky Hayride featuring the Ventucky String Band, The Sideshow Preachers and Big Tweed takes place Saturday, Feb. 9, at Yolies, 138 W. Main St. in Ventura. Show starts at 7 p.m. and advance tickets are available by calling 641-3900.

Placing employees first helps fuel Arrow Strategies' growth
Taking Center Stage this month is Arrow Strategies, a Bingham Farms, Mich.-based provider of information technology, engineering and finance/accounting staffing. The firm appeared on Staffing Industry Analysts' list of fastest-growing staffing firms in 2011, and the company celebrated its 10-year anniversary on April 15. It has also appeared on Inc. magazine's list of fastest-growing firms last year. Arrow Strategies posted $30 million in revenue in 2011 and is on track for approximately $40 million in 2012. Managing Editor Craig Johnson recently spoke with CEO Jeff Styers.
Q: What sets Arrow Strategies apart from other staffing firms?
A: There are a few things. One of the unique traits we have is we don't hire anyone with industry experience. Everyone we hire has no previous staffing experience. The leaders of our organization grew up within the organization. From our branch managers in Los Angeles, our recruiting manager in Chicago to part of the branch development team here in Detroit, all came up through the company.
The second part of what I think we do unique is we still stick to old- school tactics. We can find candidates that our clients and competition can't. Instead of working the job boards all day, our recruiters learn to cold call, target recruit, refer, reference, but find candidates that aren't actively in the market. Once we find them, we take them through a stringently adhered-to 10-step recruiting process. We meet all of our candidates. We do the reference checks. We do the technical assessment, prescreen interviews, final interview with the account manager — all before they're even submitted to a client for consideration.
Arrow Strategies was rated as a cool place to work by Crain's Detroit Business in 2011 [a sister publication to Staffing Industry Review]. How did your firm achieve that award?
Internal staff at our Detroit office have a concierge service to help with errands like getting your oil changed or picking up dry cleaning. We have a masseuse who comes in every Friday. We have a shoe shine guy who comes in once a week. We have a game room, a nap room, a gym, locker rooms, meditation room. We have breakfast and lunch on hand all the time as well as beverages.
We cater to our employees in many aspects. That would be kind of our mantra. We do a Ferris Bueller's day off in the summer where we just shut the company down for two days and fly everyone in from around the country, and do something fun, whether it's boating, swimming or golf or paintball. It's just kind of a chance for people to connect with others in the company.
Our product is our people. The minute you take your eye off that reality, I think you fail as a staffing firm. If people are our product — which they are — then we have to bend over backwards to take care of them.
You talked about the Arrow Strategies' 10-step recruiting process. Can you describe that further and how it helps make Arrow Strategies a successful firm?
I think a lot of companies say they have processes. I think one of the unique things about us is our fanatical and passionate adherence to it. There is no deviation.
We're looking for candidates who are not on the job boards. We don't run postings. We don't want people to reply to postings. We find people who aren't active in the job market. Once we do that, we go to a prescreen interview, which is a scripted interview that gets all the basic information, as well as some psychological pushes and pulls about why the person may or may not be interested and entertain other job opportunities.
Once they pass that gate, then they are brought in for an in-person inter- view. Once we do the in-person interview, we do the reference checks. We do a technical assessment of their skills, either with one of our existing field staff or during an online assessment. After that is a joint interview with the account manager. Then they're coached and closed and submitted to a client.
That kind of funnel, if you will, is just like a machine here. Everyone talks with the same vernacular, the same process, everyone talks about where people are in the process, and they know there's no deviation. That discipline to a process has been a big part of our success.
What is in store for Arrow Strategies' future?
If there's one thing I can say about Arrow Strategies is that we need to look and feel a lot like a performance organization, whether that's a sports team or a business. It has to be a performance- based organization. That's what we are. We're also very disciplined in knowing our strong points and what we're good at. We're not going to offer VMS solutions or project management. We are a staffing firm, and that's what we intend to stay. Our goal is $100 million in revenue by 2018, and we're on track for that. Everything we do here is to achieve that $100 million by 2018. In fact, there's a large clock in every office with the Arrow logo on it that is counting down to 2018.

Rhodiola Rosea
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 6, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Rhodiola Rosea (Artic Rose Root Extract)
Rhodiola Rosea, also known as Golden Root and Arctic Rose Extract, grows mainly on mountains and in areas up to 5000 ft. in elevation. In the United States it can be found in the Rocky Mountain region as well as in the Carpathian Mountains in Europe. It thrives best in cold climates and is rarely found in warm weather areas. Arctic rose is one of the few plants that has been known to grow in the Arctic region and hence the name Artic Rose. The plant itself belongs to the Crassulaceae family of plants and can grow up to 34 cm in height. The Artic Rose plant produces yellow flowers and has blue-green leaves.
History of Arctic Rose Extract
Growing in Iceland, the arctic rose was highly respected and used by the Vikings thousands of years ago. The plant was thought of as a "magical" plant and was taken on long journeys by the Vikings to protect them and bring them home safe. Arctic rose extract was also used in China and Tibet, as it grows in the Himalayas and the Alps. Arctic rose extract was thought by the Tibetans to give wisdom and a long and healthy life. The flower of the plant was removed and the stem was chewed on. Arctic rose also grows on the Siberian fields and has been used as a medical plant in Russia since 1969. Numerous clinical studies have been performed in Russia to study the benefits of this plant. In Roman times it was used to cure Headaches and as a tea to calm the nerves.
Powerful Benefits and Uses of Arctic Rose
Clinical studies performed in Russia have proven artic rose extract to be useful in alleviating the effects of Depression and Anxiety. Stress almost seems a natural part of life today for modern man, and arctic rose root extract can be used to help reduce that stress. Considered an adaptogen, arctic rose extract has a stabilizing and calming effect on the body and mind. Adaptogens are plants which are considered to be able to influence the brain into helping the body adjust to stress and anxiety easier. A wonderful side effect of arctic rose is weight balance and management. Arctic Rose decreases sugar cravings and helps in reducing the amount of sugar taken in daily, a beneficial step to those trying to lose weight or control their sugar intake. Taking arctic rose extract as a part of daily regiment can reduce Fatigue and improve overall Energy. It is effective in improving moods and increasing Libido in men and women alike. Studies have also shown that arctic rose extract may be helpful in reducing the risk of cancer. The extract works by protecting healthy cells from being damaged by toxins. Arctic rose extract can be taken in capsule or tablet form.
Potential Side Effects
Arctic rose extract should be taken in small doses. When taken in small doses, no side effects have been reported. However, if taken in high doses arctic rose extract can cause fatigue, irritability and insomnia. Arctic rose should not be taken in high doses during a prolonged period of time.

This tutorial was featured during the Live Lesson streaming on August 5th. Most people enjoy the "Nightmare Before Christmas" movie so I decided to do a cute and sweet tutorial on "how to draw chibi Jack Skellington". I'm not so sure on how many artworks are available for the chibi version of Jack Skellinton. Last time I seen one, it was a very short and stubby chibi with spaced apart eyes and a simple stitched mouth. If you seen it, you would love the way it was drawn. This character has got to be one of the simple and creative goth type characters that's grown popular worldwide. I really love the concept and how the look of him can be so simple and portray such a basic meaning, Halloween. You'll find that to "draw chibi Jack Skellington", will be much easier then his full counterpart. It should be easy to draw the head, face, and body because of the lack of details. Less details means the simpler. Be sure to engrave that into your mind in order to create simple artworks. Like most of my considerations, I would suggest drawing the head first to result in accurate anatomy. Once you've drawn this pose down packed, you'll be familiar on drawing him in a variety of poses. Usually, Jack has one eye that is large then the other. I know in this picture it may seem his right eye is much too small to match perspective of his left. It's the style that makes the eye that way. It also creates an essence of a friendly craziness! Of course, drawing chibis are much easier then drawing full detailed characters. Like I said before, chibis have a simpler form depending on what you customize it to be. Anyways, the Livestream for this drawing was a great lesson! Some of the audio was canceling out, upsetting everyone. I fixed the problem so that the future Live Lessons will be less laggy, more audio, and less annoying. I really hope that you'll find your way through on "how to draw chibi Jack Skellington step by step". This tutorial was a real treat to work on. I thank everyone who joined me the day this was sketched, inked, and colored. Have fun!

I'd like to know more information about your situation? How did you put Puppy on it? By the script, or by copying files to it... Is Puppy the only thing on your thumb drive?
Please visit the Trouble Booting USB Keys wiki page at:
Where is your pup001 file? Are you using one?
We would love to help you, but we need some more information. (I personally use Cruzer Mini 1GB with no problems... I do
think your problem is the size of yours unless you have other things on it too.)

Post subject: can't boot from usb key
Hi babbs,
to put it clear, here the facts :
System :
DELL latitude CPx, Pentium III 450Mh, 312Mb of RAM;
USB 1.1, i can swap drives so that i have either floppy
or CD rom, but not both together.
USB stick = Cruzer 128Mb, formatted in windows ME
(i guess fat32)
Boot process : throught floppy, because the bios is unable
to boot from an usb device. Now, this boot floppy is very
nice, works as promised.
To answer your question, there is no pup001 file on the drive,
because the install script (from live -CD) didn't creat some)
There is much place on the drive, but i choosed to let puppy
not use the entire drive, and let a ms-dos partition stay
on the drive (it was say to be the preferred choice !)
Now, i'm booting :
Puppy wants to mount the users home device...
UMSDOS 0.86k (compatibility level 0.4, fast msdos)
/root/usr_cram.fs exists, but seems to be wrong version, rejecting.
looking for usr cram.fs on the CD....
Uniform CD-Rom Driver unloaded
/root/usr_cram.fs exists, but Puppy thinks that it is an old version.
However, as Puppy cannot find another usr_cram.fs, no choice but use it.
Press ENTER key to continue:
(what i read then is )
cp-FULL: cannot create directory '/root/.jwn

Post subject: can't boot from usb
Sorry, i think i have a coaster here. CDcheck reported :
error;win32;Lecture impossible sur le p�riph�rique sp�cifi�. (code: 30);G:\usr_cram.fs
Therefore, i could boot with option "copy to ram", but nothing else.
Will try again with a better CD.

Post subject: can't boot from usb key
Same happens with a valide CD. Now i can boot from
the CD (normal boot) so i'm sure it's ok. But i think puppy can't
find the usr cram.fs from the usb. There was a page how to help
puppy to find the cram.fs somewhere ...

i tried to copy usr_cram.fs in pup100, then in pup001, and
there it is completely hidden ! Then when i press ENTER to continue,
i get the same error as in my first post, and NO PROMPT.
so i cannot tell puppy where is usr_cram.fs
Getting desperate. maybe i should search for a previous
version, they say 1.02 runs fine ... ?

Post subject: can't boot from usb key (SUCCESS)
Trying this WAKEUP11C gave a nice, clean boot, contrary to the
BOOT2PUP disk. NICE ! awaiting that for 2 years, thanks to this
amazing improved puppy i can boot this pitiful laptop without usb BIOS
I must say, Puppy improved a lot since last time i gave it a try,
prior version 1, as it was only 32Mb. Now it's usable, fast, smart, etc.
Also nice to have a lot of *readable* documentation answering questions
that one have, -not like xemacs documentation.

Had exactly the same problem with 1.08R1 and this made it work:
I use a Sandisk cruzer mini 256 and this worked for me:
Format USB FAT32
Run syslinux z: (Win32 version for me under XP) z: = USB drive letter.
Copy these files from the Puppy CD to the key:
Create syslinux.cfg (use an editor that respects UNIX conventions) EditPad or VIM - My syslinux.cfg =
default vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 initrd=image.gz
append PSLEEP=25 PHOME=sda1 PFILE=pup100-none-131072

Maybe the problem is that your drive is too small. Puppy itself only uses ~60MB, but it tries to create a 256MB pup001/100 file. If your drive is 128MB, it probably doesn't have enough space even for a smaller pup100. There are some files that have to be in the pup100. Maybe there's not enough space on the drive to store them.

having the exact same issue, which ends with asking for a password.
I Used the puppy usb wizard to create the USB files
The USB key is a verbatim 256 megs, which should be more than enough.
I think it is related to how puppy sees the usb port(as told on the wiki usb troubleshooting), it may see it as a usb hub.

I'm not entirely sure that this problem has anything to do with the USB stick, since I had exactly the same issue when booting off a multisession CD (please see my posts in
this thread
As I say in that thread I have no clue why this happens. Can someone more familiar with Linux / Puppy help out with this bug? I've seen several different posters complain of it, but not sure if there are any solutions yet...

I'm certain there is a solution, since i succesfuly used another Small linux distribution, "the System rescue CD" from a usb stick (
) with the same machine.
I do not know the HowTo, but they made it work. So there must be way to make it work with Puppy also.
The Puppy FAQ says that if we know how to make it work with a usb hub....to send them the info, i do not know how....but system rescue CD knows how, maybe puppy could ask them?

Hello khisanth,
I wrote the USB hub, let me know bit.
I once had a Verbatim, 256MB USB thumb drive. The last version of Puppy that I made bootable on it was 1.0.4. Back then, I did not have any equipment that would allow me to boot from USB (no provisions for it in the BIOS), so I had a boot floppy. With that boot floppy, I had no problems booting the Verbatim drive.
I don't know how small the pup001 file can be, but I also saved the pup001 file to the same Verbatim drive as the boot files. I remember that it was pretty small, but functioned (I suspect that it was greater than 128MB, but not sure/can't remember). I chose to not use this configuration since the port was USB 1.1 and I was too impatient. I put a new pup001 on the C:\ drive and booted to CD. I replaced this USB drive with a SanDisk Cruzer Mini 1GB and made the Verbatim drive just a disk for files.
Have you tried to use your thumb drive in different USB ports, on the front and back of the computer? See if you have different results. Do you have an internal USB port (my USB 2.0, PCI expansion card has four ports on the back plain plus one internal)?

I'm not sure who is going to step up and volunteer to become "Mr. USB Flash Drive" for Puppy, but we may need someone to take on that coordination role. Here are a few suggestions when collecting info on USB keys, that may help discover what the specific things are that make a particular drive able or unable to boot Puppy.
The idea is to boot Puppy from CD. Boot option 4 if you need to. Don't let Puppy use the USB key or seeit at boot, at all (just to be safe... actually it should be OK to even boot from it and then do these commands, but... play safe if you can reasonably do so). Then, once Puppy is booted and configured, you can open a console and run a few commands to collect some information about your USB flash drive. If we share this info (on the Wiki?), we can slowly gain enough examples to learn more about these drives and which aspects of them affect booting in Puppy. For some reason, Puppy does not seem to include the normal Linux "So, what's on my USB bus" command, lsusb. lspci is there, but not lsusb. seemsSo we have to work around the lack of it. We can use the /proc filesystem itself do to that, alongside fdisk and file and dd.
I'm going to assume there is probably some sort of Microsoft FAT partition on the drive; both drives I have here to test (KingMax 128MB and Sandisk Cruzer Micro 512MB) are like that... if we find many drives for which that assumption is incorrect, someone else can improve this initial list of ideas for us
(A) fdisk -l /dev/sda
This should output information about the drive geometry and any partitions on it. This is the first piece of information to keep.
(B) file -s /dev/sda
This will usually say just
/dev/sda: x86 boot sector
(C) file -s /dev/sda1
This is more interesting and shows (at least for me!) a lot more info about the FAT partition on the drive, and its first sector in particular. For example:
/dev/sda1: x86 boot sector, code offset 0x58, OEM-ID "MSDOS5.0", sectors/cluster 32, root entries 512, Media descriptor 0xf8, sectors/FAT 123, heads 16, hidden sectors 233, sectors 999703 (volumes > 32 MB) , serial number 0x3b691afd, unlabeled, FAT (16 bit)
(D) dd if=/dev/sda count=1 2>/dev/null |LANG=C strings -o
This looks inside the first 1K of the drive and outputs any USASCII strings it finds and their offsets into that 1K of data. I don't know if it will be useful, yet. Example output:
Invalid partition table
Error loading operating system
Missing operating system
(E) dd if=/dev/sda count=1 2>/dev/null |LANG=C hexdump
This outputs the entire MBR and partition table in hex, removing repeated lines to save space. I'm not sure if it is 100% legal to post this info, since it could possibly be copyrighted code. Publish this info at your own risk!
(F) egrep "^[PST]" /proc/bus/usb/devices
So, what's on your USB bus(es)? This is some of the raw data that lsusb would interpret for us, if we had it. Here's one chunk of the output I get here, as a partial example:
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=02 Cnt=01 Dev#= 4 Spd=480 MxCh= 0
P: Vendor=0781 ProdID=5151 Rev= 0.20
S: Manufacturer=SanDisk Corporation
S: Product=Cruzer Micro
S: SerialNumber=200411006309fc919c83
That's probably enough data to collect to start with
Rather than ask people to type in six commands.. here's a little script to do it for you, and format the output a bit in the process:
# usbreport.sh -- outputs various things about a USB drive
DEV=${1:-/dev/sda} # Device to probe, default to /dev/sda
if [ ! -b "$DEV" ]; then
echo "$0: Error: $DEV is not a block device"
exit 1
newsection() { echo "-----$1-----" ;}
echo "$0: Report created at `date -u +%Y-%m-%d\ %H:%M:%S\ %Z`"
fdisk -l $DEV
newsection "$DEV and ${DEV}1 filetypes"
file -s $DEV
file -s ${DEV}1
newsection "Strings from first 1Kbtes"
dd if=$DEV count=2 2>/dev/null |LANG=C strings -o
newsection "Hex dump of first 1Kbytes"
dd if=$DEV count=2 2>/dev/null |LANG=C hexdump
newsection "Partial /proc/bus/usb output"
egrep "^[PST]" /proc/bus/usb/devices
In case it's not obvious: you can ask it to look at /dev/sdb or some other device by typing the /dev/sdb (or similar!) device name as a parameter to the script. The idea would be that people could redirect the output to a text file, and then post the results somewhere for "Mr. USB Flash Drive" (whoever he is!) to compare and analyze. Reporters should also say who they are, the make/model of their drive, and whether or not they have successfully booted Puppy from it, of course!
Hope this helps as you continue to work on figuring this stuff out
And no, I'm
Mr. USB Flash Drive -- all of this except for looking at /proc/bus/usb would work for normal hard disk devices too, it's just your usual Unix/Linux tools in action. You can verify this by running it as
sh usbreport.sh /dev/hda |more
and see the results for your hard drive
This script is intended only to read things, not write to any devices or disks. It
therefore be safe. I have run it on my system here with no problems (including running it against hda -- if I don't trust it, why should you!). However, if this somehow breaks your computer, your USB drive, or even causes your girlfriend or dog to run away from home and your house to fall down... I can't accept any responsibility for any of those things! Running code as root can have consequences. This code has no warranty, express or implied. It works for me. I hope it works for others too.
Would "Mr. USB Flash Drive" please step forward?

I'll try to answer you both, to the best of my knowledge. But i am no Linux expert, My skills are very limited with linux, i do not even consider myself a linux user.
I am working with windows terminals running windows CE or Windows XPE. Those terminals are fanless, pentiums 533, the same as a standard PC but stripped to the bone.
Using the SAME usb key on both, I was able to make puppy boot with the following terminal:
But not with this one:
The main difference is that the s150 has USB 1.1 ports instead of 2.0
The S150 has only 2 usb ports, while the one that works, the S170 has 4 (2 fronts, 2 back).
So i do not think the usb key format is a problem here(fat 16), since the same key works with one and not with the other pc. The same key also boots with another linux distribution. Problem should be in the puppy usb drivers somewhere.
I'd love to help you with running the usbreport.sh you posted. I saved it on the usb key under the name usbreport.sh and tried to run it in puppy with the command ./usbreport.sh
i am getting an error, bad interpreter: no such file of directory
(you remember now? my linux skills are limited!)

Oct. 8 John Jay and Lance Lynn postgame interview
Q.Jon, both Descalso and your manager said that was your best catch of the year. Do you agree and take us through the play a little bit.
JON JAY: Yeah, I would agree. (Laughter.)
He put a good swing on the ball. Where I was from, I saw it up there and got a pretty good jump. I got to the warning track and made a choice to jump, I knew I had to make a choice, and I made a jump and I was able to do that.
Q. Can you just talk about the offensive explosion after Game 1 and how much you needed that with Jaime coming out?
JON JAY: Yeah, it was big, after the game yesterday, we really wanted to come out there today, and we knew how big this game was for us. So you know, that's the type of offense we have. We'll go out there and have good at bats, and we were able to come up with big hits today. We've seen it all year, when we are able to do that, we are pretty dangerous, and it worked out today.
Q. Matheny has lauded your defense and he's seen improvement; do you see yourself having grown in that area this year?
JON JAY: I take a lot of pride in that. I learned a lot last year playing center field. Last year I got to play more out there, and the biggest thing is situations where you can really take a gamble or situations you want to keep the runner from scoring from first or just little things that I've picked up with the help of even with Yadi, Yadi has helped me out a lot from a catcher's standpoint, trying to understand what he's doing out there. I definitely feel like I've improved and I'm trying to get better out there.
Q. Lance, how hard was that to get ready, and it had to be ready right away?
LANCE LYNN: Wasn't that hard. I was ready from the get go in case anything happened. Something I was able to do at times this year, able to be down in the bullpen a little bit, and I was able to use that experience.
Q. Can you talk about getting to Zimmermann early, and B, if shadows played much of a factor.
JON JAY: Zimmermann's a great pitcher. We saw that all year. He had a great year and he's got great stuff. But both teams have to deal with the shadows, so it's nothing where there's no excuses out there. Everybody has to go out there and battle through it. I'm not going to talk much about that.
But against Zimmermann that's big for us. We know what type of offense we have when we are going out there and grinding and having good at bats and we did that today. When we do that, we've been tough on starters and doesn't matter who is pitching out there.
Q. Lance, were you prepared for three innings or more? When that situation came up, what did Mike say to you? What were you thinking?
LANCE LYNN: He just called down and told me to get ready. I figured that I was going to go multiple innings. In my mind I was doing everything I can to get it to Mujica in the 7th. I came up an inning short, but did everything I could to get as many innings as possible and it worked out well for us, and the offense kept doing their thing.
Q. You came up to the plate the inning after you made the catch, and a huge ovation from the crowd. Did you have to collect yourself for a moment with all that noise?
JON JAY: You know, I definitely appreciated it. It was great for the fans to show their support like that. I've never had a stadium get that loud for me doing something. That was definitely something special.
It was one of those things where I just went out there and tried to continue the game. I didn't think too much of it after that as far as gathering myself. I was just trying to stay focused and get on base.
Q. Jon, can you talk about how Allen Craig kind of got you going in that big inning with a hit and home run and it sort of snowballed or steamrolled from there.
JON JAY: He's been good all year. He's one of the most underrated players in the game right now. If you look at the numbers he put up this year, last year, what he did in the post season, he's been huge for us. For him to go out there, that big home run, I think that really got us going, and the hits, he just goes out there and he's a great hitter, you can talk about how he drives in run, he uses the whole field, hits doubles, hits homers. He's a big part of our lineup. FastScripts by ASAP Sports ...

With roots reaching back to the 1940s, the Goodwood Motor Circuit is one of the most storied destinations in British motorsport.
Each summer sees it play host to the Festival of Speed, a three-day automobile extravaganza that brings classic vehicles and futuristic supercars together to celebrate the past, present and future of car racing.
Read More: New Land Rover Defender makes global debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed
Why is Goodwood famous?
Opening originally in September 1948, the Goodwood Motor Circuit played host to Britain's first post-war racing meet.
It was founded by Freddie March, the ninth Duke of Richmond and a renowned amateur racer.
Having been starved of racing action since the war broke out, spectators turned up in their thousands to see some 85 drivers compete.
18 years later, in August 1966, Goodwood Motor Circuit announced that it would no longer be playing host to contemporary motor racing, which rounded up a rich chapter in British motorsport history.
However, this was not the end: in 1993, the Duke of Richmond's grandson brought racing back to Goodwood by establishing the Festival of Speed.
The Duke himself rode out in the same Bristol 400 his grandfather had driven all those years ago at the circuit's first ever racing meet.
Here's everything you need to know about the 2020 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
When is the Festival of Speed 2020?
While the dates have yet to be confirmed, the 2020 Festival of Speed is expected to run between 9 and 13 July.
The 2019 festival took place between 4 and 7 July.
What can we expect at the Festival of Speed 2020?
The most iconic aspect of the Goodwood Festival of Speed is the Hillclimb.
With a history going all the way back to the ninth Duke in 1936, the Hillclimb is a well-established crowd-pleaser.
In its modern incarnation, batches of classic and modern cars take on the hill twice a day throughout the festival, trying to best its punishing gradient.
With a new record set just this year by Romain Dumas and his electric Volkswagen I.D. R, the competition next time around is sure to be especially fiery.
Of course, with three whole days of events planned, there's lots more to see.
The FOS Future Lab offers visitors a glimpse of things to come, with a series of engaging, interactive events about the future of automobile technology.
From flying cars to smart cities and artificial intelligence, the Future Lab's line-up reads like a page from an old sci-fi novel – in the best possible way.

In the same spirit of discovery, the First Glance Paddock is the place to go for gear-heads eager to see what the near future has in store.
For those looking to get up close and personal with today's impressive feats of automotive engineering, the Michelin Supercar Paddock shows off some of the fastest cars known to man.
In a brand new addition for 2019, The Arena is dedicated to cars that shine brightest while sliding sideways.
For those harbouring Fast and the Furious-style fantasies about kicking up gravel as they drift round corners at breakneck speed, The Arena is not to be missed.
The full range of races and events can be found here.
Read More: Hybrid and electric models are the most reliable new cars
What should I wear?
As the festival is an open-air event, casual clothing and comfortable footwear are recommended.
Even in the middle of the summer, the changeable spirit of the British weather makes it a good idea to always have some rainproof clothing to hand.
For those who plan on making use of the corporate hospitality pavilions, however, smart-casual dress is expected.
Where can I get tickets?
Tickets for the 2020 Festival of Speed go on sale on 4 November, and will be available on the festival's website. As the festival regularly tops 100,000 visitors, it's best to book well in advance.
Last year, prices started at £169 for a full pass, or between £39 and £70 for the individual days.
Children under the age of 13 go free.
Will there be food?
Goodwood Motor Circuit features a range of restaurants where visitors can re-fuel, including the Goodwood Bar & Grill, Farmer, Butcher, Chef Restaurant and the Lamborghini Ristorante.
There are also plenty of food and drinks stalls, with everything from burgers to Japanese bento boxes, burritos and Indonesian curries, for those looking to make a quick pit stop.
The circuit also features a range of bars. Visitors can enjoy some live music at the Lawn Bar, sip on a gin and tonic at the Schweppes Bar or pick up a Frosé popsicle at the Mirabeau Bar.
Full information about the available food and drink can be found on the festival's website.
How do I get there?
Goodwood is located just outside Chichester, only 60 miles from London, and 30 miles from Brighton and Southampton.
There is a regular train service from London Victoria to Chichester (1 hour 40 minutes), plus the coastal service from Brighton and Portsmouth. Full details can be found on the Trainline website.
Buses or taxis are available at Chichester Station.
Information on the best route to take for those driving to the festival can be found on the festival's website.
Where can I stay?
Since 2014, Goodwood has provided a family campsite, allowing families to book a 9m x 7m plot.
The site provides an electric hook-up, family-friendly toilets, baby change, and shower facilities and is located in the Lennox enclosure at Goodwood Racecourse, a short walk from the main event.
It also features a children's play area, 24-hour security, on-site catering and access to a walk-in fridge to store chilled items free of charge.
For those not looking to camp, the area also boasts plenty of hotel options, including the circuit's own Goodwood Hotel, which can be booked on the festival's website.
However, the local hotels are usually booked up months in advance of the festival, so you're best to make reservations well ahead of time.

What would you do if you were Governor of Florida for a day? Attend a Cabinet meeting, check in on some state agencies, have a brainstorming session with a few state officials? One Fort Lauderdale youth had the opportunity to do just that back in 1962 during the administration of Governor Farris Bryant. It all started when Rita Mae Brown wrote to the Governor asking if she could shadow him as part of a "Senior Work Day," in which she and her classmates were to be "hired" by local businesses for a day to learn about various careers.
Governor Bryant wrote back and said that this would be impossible, not because he didn't like the idea, but because he would be in Japan at the time Rita proposed to come. Bryant suggested she come to Tallahassee anyway and serve as his stand-in.
And so she did. Rita Brown, 17, packed her bags and took her first airplane ride to Tallahassee that April to take her place as Governor for a day. She met with State Superintendent of Public Instruction Thomas D. Bailey, who took her to the Executive Office of the Governor for a chance to sit at Farris Bryant's desk and be photographed by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Frank Noel of the Associated Press.
Bailey then escorted young Rita to a Cabinet meeting, where she caught up on the latest discussions on stone crab conservation and the fate of Forman Field down in Fort Lauderdale. She toured the Florida Development Commission and the State Road Department, including its "vast array of IBM machines," as Rita later put it.
Rita's "term" as Governor of Florida was short, but she made a full report to Governor Farris Bryant after she returned home. We recently found it in Bryant's administrative correspondence (Series 756), which is held by the State Archives of Florida. Here's an excerpt (check out that signature line!):
Rita took her brief time as Florida's chief executive quite seriously. In her report, she proposed a program to help keep bright young Floridians in their own state instead of going to look for work and education elsewhere. In his reply, Governor Bryant suggested she contact Superintendent Bailey with her ideas. This she did, outlining what she called her "Sell Florida" campaign:
Bailey liked the idea, and distributed it to the presidents of Florida's institutions of higher learning, the Florida Development Commission, and other state agencies. Rita herself went on to become a prominent civil rights activist and later an accomplished Emmy-nominated writer. In a way, you could say that both the State of Florida and Rita herself got a lot out of that one day governorship. Makes you wonder what a little mentoring might do for an eager young person in your own life, doesn't it?
The State Library & Archives holds the keys to many interesting stories like that of young Rita Mae Brown. We encourage you to explore Florida Memory and browse our catalogs at info.florida.gov to learn more.

Ken Doykos wins 2010 Colorado State Championship
Ken Doykos has won the 2010 Colorado State Championship with an undefeated 5-1 score. Ken, 64, has been a USCF member since 1975. His peak OTB rating was 2020 and though he had played some postal chess back in the Seventies, this was his first tournament. Ken notes he had some good fortune along the way, but in chess fortune often comes to those who fight.
White dominates the first half of this game, but then a sudden mental shift from attacker to defender and Black takes over.
1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nf6 5.Nxf6+ gxf6 6.c3 Bf5 7.Nf3 Qc7 8.g3 e6 9.Bg2 Nd7 10.Nh4
White generally continues with 10. 00 and after 10...000 the prospect of capturing on g6 opening up the h-file is not desirable.
10...Bg6 11.0-0 0-0-0
The strategy for both sides is now very clear -- attack the King, but mind the center.
A perfectly straightforward commencement of the attack. An instructive miniature was Chiburdanidze-Borner, Biel 1991: 12. Qe2 Bd6 13. Be3 f5 14. Bg5 Rde8 15. c4 c5 16. b4! cxd4 17. c5 Bf6 18. Rac1 Nb8 19. b5 Bg7 20. b6 1-0
This defensive move does not help Black at all. The King is less safe in b8 (or a8) than on c8. The b-file is the file most likely to open up and the King sits at the top of it.
13. a4 e5!?
White's attack is clearly ahead of Black's kingside action so Black tries his hand in the center.
White also gets good play after 14.Qb3 exd4 15. cxd4 Bd6 16. a5 a6 17 Bb2 Rhe8 18. Nxg6 hxg6 19. Rfc1.
14...c5 15.Nxg6 hxg6 16.dxe5
White misses how strong his position is after 16. d5 c4 17. a5 Nc5 18. b6 axb6 19. axb6 Qxb6 20. Be3 Bd6 21. Qe2
16...Nxe5 17.Qc2
Black has survived the main thrust of White's attack. While it is true that the endgame with the two handsome White Bishops would be favorable, the endgame is a long way away and the middle game features a handsome Black Knight and two open files for the Black Rooks.
17...Qd7 18.Bf4 g5 19.Rad1
The other Rook makes more sense. The f1 Rook hasn't much to do now.
19...Bd6 20.Be3 Qe6 21.Qe4 Rd7 22.Rd5?
White is dreaming of Rfd1 followed by Rxd6 but there is a serious flaw in his reasoning. Better was 22. a5 with the idea of a6, creating threats on the long white diagonal..
After a long and arduous defense, Doykos comes roaring back with a series of heavy blows to the White kingside.
Better may be 23. Rxd6!? Qxd6 24. Qxf5 f6 25. a5 when White still has counterchances.
23...f4 24.Bxc5 Bxc5 25.Rxc5 f3! 26.Rxe5 Qxe5 27.Bxf3 f5 28.Bg2
White has sufficient material for the exchange (two Pawns) but Black's active Rooks and kingside pressure finally break White's spirit and he morphs into defensive mode.
Not the most efficient -- Black should first lure the f1 Rook away by 28...Rc7 29. Rc1 then 29...f4 30. c4 Rch7 31. c5 Rxh2 32. c6 Rxg2+! 33. Kxg2 Qd5+_ 34. f3 g4! and Black wins.
Again 29. c4 is better: 29. c4 Rdh7 30. c5 Rxh2 31. Qe4 f4 when White can still fight. [29.c4 Rdh7 30.c5 Rxh2 31.Qc4 f4]
29...gxh3 30.Bf3 Rhd8!
Now the power of the d-file will manifest itself. Black is winning.
31.Qc1 Rd3 0-1
Black has a simple endgame win after 32. Re1 Qd6 33. Re3 Qh6 34. Kh2 Rxe3 35. Qxe3 Qxe3 36. fxe3 Rd3 37. c4 Rxe3 38. Bd5 Kc7 39. a5 b6 40. axb6+ Kxb6 41. Bf7 Kc5 42. Bg8 Rc3 43. Bf7 Rxc4
2010 Colorado State Championship
Alfredo Gotay wins 10W36
Alfredo Gotay, a professional photographer from Puerto Rico, won the 2010 Master/Expert Walter Muir Quad. One of his wins was this Exchange Variation Ruy Lopez which featured the thematic duel of better Pawn structure versus the two Bishops. This time the Bishops win.
Quote: Correspondence chess is an excellent tool, but one which is often misunderstood. When I suggest that this form of the game is a good way to improve, they often react by saying that everyone uses computers so what's the point ? While this is not altogether true -- there are correspondence chess players who agree to play without silicon assistance -- I take the view that extensive use of computers is actually a good thing.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brooks Conrad hit a pair of two-run doubles off winless Cliff Lee and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 Sunday night to complete a day-night doubleheader sweep.
Lee (0-4) allowed five runs and six hits in seven innings. The 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner hasn't won a game since last Sept. 26, or 273 days ago. Lee is making $21.5 million this year, most on the Phillies.
In the opener, Carlos Pena hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning and the Rays held on for a 3-2 victory, making David Price the first AL pitcher to reach 10 wins.
Cole Hamels pitched three-hit ball for seven shutout innings in his first appearance against the Rays since he was the MVP of the 2008 World Series. But the lefty departed after throwing 111 pitches and Pena connected off Antonio Bastardo (2-2).
Because of Friday's rainout, the Rays went with a "bullpen" game. Cesar Ramos tossed 2 2-3 hitless innings in his third career start and first since 2009. Wade Davis allowed three runs and three hits in 2 2-3 innings in relief of Ramos. Brandon Gomes (2-2) earned the win with 2 2-3 scoreless innings.
The five-time defending NL East champion Phillies are 6-15 in June and fell back into last place, a game behind Miami.
The depleted Phillies should be getting some help soon. Chase Utley is scheduled to play for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, and the five-time All-Star second baseman could make his season debut this week. Utley has been sidelined because he has chronic knee problems.
Former NL MVP Ryan Howard is still rehabbing in extended spring training after having surgery to repair a torn Achilles' tendon last year. Two-time Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay hasn't pitched since May 27 because of a lat injury.
Lee hasn't received much run support this season. He couldn't even get a win when he threw 10 scoreless innings at San Francisco on April 18. But he's also blown three three-run leads. In his last seven starts, Lee has a 5.10 ERA.
Sean Rodriguez hit an RBI double off Lee to put the Rays up 1-0 in the second. Conrad followed by hitting a 3-0 pitch down the left-field line to score two and make it 3-0.
Placido Polanco hit an RBI double and John Mayberry Jr. followed with a run-scoring single to get the Phillies within 3-2 in the fourth.
Lee retired the first two batters in the sixth before Ben Zobrist singled and Rodriguez walked. Conrad then hit a double off the top of the fence in right-center to give the Rays a 5-2 lead.
Rodriguez knocked over catcher Brian Schneider on a play at home. Schneider left the game with a right ankle sprain.
Polanco's RBI double in the sixth cut it to 5-3. But the Phillies couldn't score him from third with no outs.
The Rays got two insurance runs in the eighth when B.J. Rosenberg walked four batters. Jake Diekman came in and also walked in a run.
Price (10-4) went seven innings in Game 1 and gave up four hits, including Jimmy Rollins' homer in the sixth.
"I try to treat every start the same but whenever you're facing somebody who is one of their top guys, it definitely heightens your sense of awareness," Price said. "You know you can't go six and give up three."
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel became testy with the media when questioned about lifting Hamels for Bastardo, as well as explaining his late-game pinch-hitting decisions.
"That's our eighth-inning guy," Manuel said of Bastardo. "I think right now, what you see is the pitchers that we have. That's the ones that we have in our minor leagues and up here. That's what it is."
"You guys ought to sit in the dugout with me and give me all the scenarios," Manuel added. "I don't think we know them. I mean, we don't know how to manage the game. Like really, I think you should sit down there with us or tweet us (strategy) or something."
A duel between two of the top left-handers in the major leagues shaped up from the start. Price trailed 1-0 before the Rays rallied.
Fernando Rodney pitched a scoreless ninth for his 21st save in 22 chances. Rollins reached second base with two outs after a single and stolen base, but Rodney struck out Hunter Pence swinging to end the game.
Hamels was 1-0 with a 2.77 ERA in two starts against Tampa Bay in 2008 when the Phillies won their title. He pitched even better on Sunday.
Bastardo walked two of the first three batters he faced. Pena hit the first pitch over the fence in right field.
NOTES: Lee is the only pitcher in the majors this season with at least 10 starts and no wins. … Jim Thome, pinch-hitting for the Phillies in the eighth in Game 1, was intentionally walked to tie Mickey Mantle for seventh place on the career list with 1,733 walks. … Hamels fanned seven to tie Hall of Famer Jim Bunning for sixth place on the Phillies' career strikeout list with 1,197. … The Phillies' sellout streak is up to 257 straight games, counting postseason play. … The Rays open a three-game series at Kansas City on Monday night with RHP Alex Cobb (3-3, 3.82 ERA) scheduled to face Royals RHP Luke Hochevar (4-7, 5.65). …Philadelphia hosts the Pirates on Monday night for the first of four when RHP Joe Blanton (6-6, 5.04) faces LHP Erik Bedard (4-7, 4.13).

More Off-Season Moves for the Phillies
Over the past several weeks, the Phillies have made a number of off-season moves. Some of them make sense, some of them make a bit less sense. The following is a breakdown of the various Phillies events, the reasoning behind it and my opinion as to the real reason for the move.
Event: The Phillies send Wilson Valdez to the Reds in exchange for a minor league pitcher.
Reason: One can only assume that the Phillies wanted to add pitching depth.
The Real Reason: Having a great back-up for Jimmy Rollins is unnecessary since J-Roll is superman and cannot possibly get injured again, right? Also, Ryan Madson needed the company of an old teammate for his transition to the Reds.
Event: Brad Lidge, left unsigned by the Phillies, goes to the Nationals on a one-year, $1 million deal.
Reason: Lidge was told he was not in the Phillies' future plans and that was the extent of the explanation he received.
The Real Reason: Lidge has lost the speed on his fastball and is almost guaranteed to get hurt multiple times based on his past track record. Also, after the awful 2011 season Jayson Werth had with the Nationals, Lidge can now provide him with moral support. The Phillies like to take care of their former players ;o)
Event: Hunter Pence received a $10.4 million, one-year deal for 2012.
Reason: To avoid arbitration. Pence is the final arbitration-eligible player therefore, no hearings for the Phils this year.
The Real Reason: Had the Phillies allowed this to go to arbitration, they would have gotten spanked by Pence and probably would have been forced to pay him more. But the real reason for the contract is simple; a happy Pence means more "Let's Go Eat!" T-Shirt money for the Phils.
Event: The Phillies have torn out the grass on the field and are putting down brand new sod.
Reason: The Winter Classic torn up the field pretty bad.
The Real Reason: While the stated reason is valid, there is another underlying reason as well. Having raised ticket prices yet again, the Phillies now have more money than God and they need to justify that by spending a boat load of cash. Last year it was a new Phantavision screen; this year is a new field. Maybe next year they can hire more employees so the concession lines will be less than an hour wait time? Nah…dream on people.
Event: The Phillies sign former Padre, Chad Qualls to a one-year, $1.15 million contract. Qualls is a 33-year old right-handed reliever who posted a 6-8 record with a 3.51 ERA in 2011.
Reason: Ruben Amaro Jr.'s favorite saying – Low-risk, high reward. In other words, if he sucks, they did not pay much for him.
The Real Reason: Because we really miss Chad Durbin and this was the best right-handed Chad they could find.
Event: Pat Burrell has decided to retire. Amaro is "considering" a 1-day contract so he can retire as a Phillie.
Reason: Burrell retired due to a nagging foot injury. Amaro is "considering" the 1-day contract because Burrell deserves a proper send-off.
The Real Reason: The foot injury may have played a role, but really, no one was going to sign Burrell. He has passed his expiration date. And the only reason Amaro hesitates to make a decision here is because he is afraid that Burrell's dog Elvis will pee on his brand new field.

JERUSALEM -- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's governing Likud Party is voting to choose a list of candidates to contest upcoming parliamentary elections -- in balloting that could strengthen the party's pro-settler faction.
If the hawkish pro-settler candidates polled well Sunday, then Likud could find itself taking stronger pro-settler positions than it has in the past.
More than 120,000 Likud voters are eligible to take part in the party vote.
Likud has teamed up for the Jan. 22 general election with the Israel Beiteinu Party of ultranationalist Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, himself a settler. Its list of candidates will be chosen later.

Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of the plane crash that killed 36 members of the Russian hockey club Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, including former NHLers Ruslan Salei, Kārlis Skrastiņš, and Pavol Demitra. Today Russian officials announced that they were charging Vadim Timofeyev, the deputy head of the Yak-Service airline, with breaching air safety rules after an investigation revealed that neither of the two pilots of that plane should have been flying. A previous investigation found that the plane's brakes had been accidentally applied during take off.
According to Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for the committee that conducted the investigation, the captain had "falsified documents," and the co-pilot had never been trained to fly that particular type of aircraft. One pilot also had sedatives in his system and the other had a motor-skill debilitating disease.
But there is some good news for Lokomotiv. After spending last season in the VHL, Russia's second-tier league, while rebuilding its roster, the club beat Sibir Novosibirsk 5-2 today in its return to the KHL.

Guide to Cleaning Your Air Rifle Scope correctly
Buying air rifle scopes may be the best decision you make when you arrive at your training goal. But keeping clean clean is the second best decision you'll make.
If the scope is dirty, you may find it difficult to see at dusk or dusk. You may also have trouble seeing in the middle of the day if the lens has dust or dirt on it.
It's important to keep the scope clean all the time so you can easily see your target. This ensures accurate fire.
Plus, clean up the scope, the longer it will last.
Let's discuss three steps to clean your air rifle's scope in good condition: brushing, wiping and cleaning deeply.
Round One: Brushing
Use a soft bristle brush to remove any dirt or particles attached to the surface. You can use a brush designed for the camera.
The brush should be soft and completely free of oil. Oil can damage the surface of the scope and make it harder to keep it clean.
Look for brushes that can be pulled into the case when not in use. A good brush that has a nice hat is also the right choice as it makes a clean brush between utilities.
If the brush is wet, you should throw it away and get a replacement.
Another option is to use a can of pressurized air to clean the lens when the lens is dry.
Round Two: Wipe
Next, use a microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints or smudges. The fabric should be soft and should not be made with or in contact with any chemicals. This can damage the lens surface.
The microfiber fabric has a small fiber that is much smaller than a strand of human hair.
The normal fabric has fibers that form a circle and will only smear the oil over the lens. The triangular strap gives a clean lens inside, so look for a cloth like this.
This type of fabric can prevent scratches from small particles scratched on the surface of the lens. The microfiber cloth takes particles so it does not scratch your lens.
Round Three: Deep Cleaning
For water-dried stains on the lens or pollen, use an antifungal cleanser. Place a few drops of cleanser on a tissue and rub the lens, from the inside out.
Then use clean and dry tissue to remove excess fluid.
Repeat as needed.
Just remember, be gentle and do not push too hard. Save your energy while you're practicing.
You definitely want to make sure the cleanser is not a quick dry mix so it does not dry out when you try to clear the scope. Do not use a glass cleaner as it contains chemicals that can damage the lens.
Check the lens briefly before you finish cleaning it just to make sure the lens is not clean.
If there is still dirt, stains or particles, try again until full. It may take a little longer than you expected, but the results in the accuracy of the shot will make it worth your while.
More Tips
Never use a duster, wet paper towel or your shirt to cleanse your scope. And do not also clean it with a new toothbrush. Or the usual, in this case.
Although it seems harmless, using the wrong ingredients and products to clean the scope you can do a bad job to clean it, at best.
At worst, it can leave scratches that affect the quality of your shot. It's like rubbing dirty sandpaper over the lens. You may have to change your scope, depending on the extent of the damage.
You should also avoid using your finger to clean up the debris. It can cause dirt to stick on the surface, and can also scratch the lens.
Keeping Your Cleaning Cleansing Kit Safe
If you do not clean your scope, be sure to keep your cleaning supplies in a clean and safe place. You do not want your cloth to collect dust that will end in its scope.
If the microfiber cloth is dirty, check if you can throw it in the washing machine and dry it. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
Clean your air gun
It is equally important to clean your rifle as it clears your scope.
Many people think you do not need to clean the air gun, but cleaning it is the best way to keep it in top shape. It also helps the guns last longer.
If your rifle is dirty and you try to clear your scope, your scope will definitely cause dirt and dirt on it in the process.
It's like what happens when the toast wets the floor. It is always ground facing down.
But think about it

Perception of Indians has changed around baseball
CLEVELAND -- During a recent team meeting, Indians veteran David Murphy stood up and had a message to deliver to his new teammates. When Murphy used to come to Cleveland as a visiting player, the Indians were usually taken lightly.
Murphy wanted the current club to know that the outside perception of the Indians has changed.
"Murphy stepped up," Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis said, "and said, in years past, when the Rangers or whoever would come to Cleveland, all you had to do was get a lead and kind of coast from there. He's like, 'It's pretty evident now. Teams know when Cleveland is coming to town now. They know it's going to be a good series. They know it's going to be a hard-fought series.'
"They see how much fun we have in the locker room and in the dugout. When you have teams that are going out and we're beating you and we're laughing in the dugout, too, guys are like, 'We don't know what to do with this team. We dont know how to handle this.' That's the best atmosphere to be in."
Kipnis brought that up as part of the news conference to announce his six-year, $52.5 million extension with the Indians. In the wake of last season's 92-win showing and run to the American League Wild Card Game, Kipnis, catcher Yan Gomes and outfielder Michael Brantley signed long-term deals with the organization.
Indians first baseman Nick Swisher, who came to Cleveland as a free agent two offseasons ago, said he definitely views his team differently now compared to when he played for the other clubs.
"It's not the same. I can even go off of when I came here," Swisher said. "When I was with other teams and coming to Cleveland, it was always fun for me to come home here, but you always knew coming in that, hey, if you didn't sweep, it was a bad road trip.
"For us now, people are realizing that when you come up in here to The Pro and the 2-1-6, we're going to fight for it. Last year's record speaks for itself. That wasn't our goal, to go out and have one great amazing season and then just fall off."
Brantley echoed the remarks of his teammates.
"Two days ago," Brantley said, "I was at second base and [A's infielder] Nick Punto walked up to me and said, 'You know what? You guys have fun and you guys are playing really well as a team. It looks fun over there. It looks fun to be a part of.' It is. Teams know that when we're coming in, we're coming in to compete each and every night. They know we're going to give our best effort on the field.
"I think it kind of puts a little fear in people, and I like it. When Cleveland comes into town, I want them to know that, 'Hey, Cleveland is here to play.'"

Russian filmmaker Natalia Meschaninova makes her feature debut with The Hope Factory, a coming-of-age tale set against the backdrop of the Siberian city of Norilsk.
Home to a major mining and metallurgical complex, the city, situated in the Arctic Circle, was once also a hub for the Soviet Union's system of gulag labour camps.
Meschaninova originally visited Norilsk with the intention of making a documentary.
"I was researching the city for a long time but then came to the conclusion it was impossible to make a documentary film there… it was difficult to get access and permits, the factories, for example, wanted to control what was shown," says Meschaninova. "But I remained fascinated by the city and had done too much research to walk away so I decided to make a fiction film set there instead."
The resulting feature revolves around two girls who set about escaping their bleak hometown through two very different routes. Meschaninova captures their lives and those of their friends as they plot their departure.
Prior to The Hope Factory, Meschaninova focused on documentaries. Her previous works include the 2007 short Herbarium about an old age beauty contest in a retirement home; the 2008 Good Intentions, capturing life in a remote mountain village, and a controversial TV series called School.
"It was big step to move over to fiction but I found my documentary background a real help… the film is a fiction but at the same time I used my knowledge of real people and everything that is happening in the film is happening for real in the city today," says the director.
Shooting a lot of the film with a hand-held camera, the film has a documentary feel but Meschaninova stresses that the cast, however, is made-up of professional actors.
"A lot of people have mistakenly suggested the characters are played by amateurs which is not the case… they're all professional. A few of the actors are upset about this but I don't mind… I chose actors who were capable of killing the actor within themselves… to show what they really feel. When I was casting, I was looking for people with a similar background to their role so they could really get into character," she explains.
Changing setting and generation completely, Meschaninova is now developing a romantic comedy about an elderly Russian couple who are reinvigorated by their first ever foreign holiday at a Mediterranean beach resort. Meschaninova has yet to decided the setting but says it will also depend on potential co-production partners.
