The real fucking begins once Gabriel is used to taking that cock. He gets on top and rides that big cock like it's a fucking horse. Will gets back on top and aggressively fucks that tight raw hole until he is ready to shoot a big load of cum. Will pulls out and shoots his thick wad of cum right into Gabriel's mouth and the greedy whore swallows all that jizz. With the taste of cum in his mouth, Gabriel jerks a big load of cum out of his own big uncut cock that squirts out all over his smooth stomach. Wow!

Talk:R-Pi NAS
- 1 Interesting Outcome Connecting to RPi Network Drive on Win7
- 2 How to easily move the home directory to a large external disk?
Interesting Outcome Connecting to RPi Network Drive on Win7
Hello - I just followed this guide & successfully figured out how everything works and got the NAS up & running - awesome/super-easy!!
However, when I map the public network drive on my Win7 machine, it sees the available space as the SD card, not the 2TB USB drive... I'm not sure why this is. I'm going to attempt to copy over a file >8gb (the size of the SD) to see what happens but I might break something.
Is there any way to rectify this identification error in Windows? Or did I do something wrong? I can post the conf files & anything I edited in Raspbian if that's helpful.
- Edit: It appears that the Drive is storing files properly (i.e. it actually is functioning as 2tb) - but Windows still reporting that the drive's total size is 8gb. I'm sure I'm just not understanding something basic but at least everything is working as it should. I will delete this section if I figure out this is an id10t error.
How to easily move the home directory to a large external disk?
Must be very easy and guaranteed to work.
Must not destroy any current files in the home directory.
Any ideas? Add your text below, please also add your name so we know who wrote what.
Suggestion 1: Only move public files to the external hard disk
bredman 12 March 2012
The easiest solution is to place the public files on the external hard disk and leave the home directory on the SD card.
Very easy, but it limits the amount of space available to the private areas.
May be good enough to keep 90% of people happy. Would it be good enough for a classroom?
bredman 14 March 2012
As suggested by error404, use usbmount to automount the external hard disk to /media/usb0 and serve this directory as the public area.
Enable security on the Samba server on the RPi
Could someone who is knowledgeable about samba server setup add a line or two at the end of this section clarifying whether the new user's user password and samba passwords should|could|must be the same.
Linux Guided Added
I've added a guide on accessing samba shares under Linux, any feedback positive or negative would be very much appreciated :) --Joshun
Issue at Configure private storage areas on the RPi
heisenberg 6 August 2012
The command smbpasswd is not supported by default samba installation. http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/pdbedit8.html can be used instead. This may confuse users who are new to linux.
edit: just saw that this is mentioned a few lines ahead...

This memorial was erected in Tel Aviv in the southern section of the Holon Cemetery, the Old Gate, Block 11, across from the Hagana, number 95, thanks to the donors and financial help of the Jews of Shkud in and outside Israel.

It was destroyed in the 1970s, and from the tombstones was built a wall for the park

To the left of the black dot was the grave of the 200 strong young people. Behind is the grave of nine women who were murdered in roadside ditches on the Way of Torment from Shkud to Dimitravas, July 17 1941. We, the survivors of the murders, were there in summer 1958.

John Boyer, SPA/PhD '89, a member of the SPA Dean's Council, will receive the prestigious "Ripple of Hope" award at the RFK Center's annual gala in New York on Wednesday, December 11. The award lauds leaders of the international business, entertainment and activist communities who demonstrate commitment to social change. Honorees reflect Robert Kennedy's passion for equality, justice, basic human rights and his belief that we all must strive to "make gentle the life of this world."
Dr. Boyer is receiving the award for his extraordinary contributions as a lifelong health care advocate and philanthropist. The two other recipients of the 2013 award are Muhammad Yunus, economic empowerment visionary and founder of the Crameen Bank, and Niclas Kjellstrom-Matseke, a pioneer of market-driven charity and head of the Swedish Postcode Lottery. Past recipients include President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, George Clooney, Bono and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Since 1995, Dr. Boyer has played a critical role in leading and growing the health services business at MAXIMUS, and currently serves as board chair of both MAXIMUS Foundation and MAXIMUS Federal Services. Prior to joining MAXIMUS, Dr. Boyer served as Director of Health Services Financing Policy for the U.S. Department of Defense and served for 24 years with the U.S. Navy Medicine. Dr. Boyer is involved with a number of philanthropic organizations, including Heath eVillages, a program of the RFK Center that provides state-of-the-art mobile heath technology to the most challenging clinical environments around the world.

If ever a match epitomized the current wild 2013-14 wrestling season it was the 174-pound final at the Big 12 Championships in Norman, Okla., on Saturday. With the team race decided – Oklahoma State won its 12th Big 12 team title -- the feature 174-pound finals matchup between Oklahoma's Andrew Howe and Oklahoma State's Chris Perry was moved to the end of the evening's docket.
Howe entered at 24-0 with Perry at 24-1, the only loss coming to the 2010 NCAA champion who transferred to Norman from Wisconsin. The Cowboy senior won the 2013 NCAA title at the weight class.
After a scoreless first three minutes of physical hand-fighting, Perry was able to ride Howe for the duration of the second period. The third period saw three video reviews, coaches and fans going raising their blood pressure levels, and one final mad scramble that saw Perry desperately trying to avoid giving up points.
In the end it was Perry with a 3-2 victory thanks to riding time.
"I got a little emotionally tired during the match, not knowing what the score was and all the stuff that was going on," Perry said. "At some point calls have to be made, whatever they are and not everybody is going to be happy. Hopefully, the next time the match doesn't turn out like that.
"[Howe] is the guy to beat. I felt like I could ride him after doing a ton of video work. I feel like March is my time. This is a big win, but we all know that the next tournament is the big one."
Perry became just the fifth four-time Big 12 champion and was one of six champions for the Cowboys, joining Jon Morrison (133), Anthony Collica (141), Alex Dieringer (157), Tyler Caldwell (165), and Austin Marsden (285).
Iowa State's Kyven Gadson kept his No. 1 ranking intact, beating Oklahoma's Travis Rutt in two tiebreakers in the 197-pound finals. Another Cyclone, Gabe Moreno, proved that the postseason means new life.
On a 10-match losing streak, Moreno, a redshirt-freshman, upset the top seed in his first match before losing in the 141-pound final. The weight class qualified two spots for the NCAA Championships, March 20-22.
"I have had a lot of support around me the last few months," said Moreno, who will take a 16-19 record into the NCAA Championships. "Once you get to this point, sometimes you just have to let it fly. I was in a position [in the second period], I went for it and it worked out."
And Then There Were …
The ranks of the unbeaten continue to shrink. Howe took his first loss in 25 matches in the Big 12 finals to Perry. In Madison, Wis., Penn State rookie Zain Retherford dropped his rematch with Ohio State's Logan Stieber in the 141-pound final. Retherford is now 29-1.
Who's Left?
Edinboro's Mitchell Port, the EWL champion at 141 pounds, will take a 26-0 record to Oklahoma City. Penn State's David Taylor rolled to his fourth Big Ten title on Sunday and enters his final collegiate tournament at 29-0. Maryland's Jim Sheptock (28-0) won his third ACC title this weekend and is expected to be the No. 1 seed in OKC.
A Scary Thought
Former Nebraska star Jordan Burroughs, a reigning World and Olympic champion in freestyle, tweeted on Sunday: "@WhoIsJamesG has the best double leg in the world! Congrats champ!" Burroughs was referring to current Husker 157-pounder James Green, who beat Iowa's Derek St. John, 7-4, in the Big Ten finals and will take a 29-1 record to the NCAA Championships. Burroughs won a pair of Big 12 titles; Green's was the first title for a Husker as a member of the Big Ten. If Green's double leg attack does in fact rival Burroughs, watch out OKC.
The Brutal Big Tens
The Big Ten Conference, as expected, produced a down-to-the-wire finish. And, as expected, Penn State claimed another league crown, outdistancing Iowa by 5 ½ points. Minnesota was 16 ½ behind the Hawkeyes. PSU's Taylor and Ed Ruth (29-1 at 184) each became four-time conference champions and Nico Megaludis (125), Zain Retherford (141), and Morgan McIntosh (197) each lost in the finals. Iowa went 1-3 in finals matches, crowning Tony Ramos (27-2) at 133 pounds.
Illinois' Jesse Delgado (23-2) beat Megaludis in two tiebreakers in a rematch of the 2013 NCAA finals. Iowa rookie Cory Clark took his first two losses of the season, finishing fourth after losing to fellow freshman Ryan Taylor of Wisconsin. Four of the top eight at 125 were rookies.
Minnesota's Tony Nelson (26-4) won the difficult heavyweight bracket, beating Indiana's Adam Chalfant in the finals. Michigan's Adam Coon entered as the top-ranked 285-pounder, but went 0-2 with losses to Penn State's Jon Gingrich and Ohio State's Nick Tavanello, who were a combined 43-25 entering the postseason.
Nebraska had two champions -- Green, who won a very tough 157-pound bracket, which included five of the top six in the national rankings, and Robert Kokesh (32-1), a sophomore who won an equally tough 174-pound division that featured four of the top six.
Ohio State also had two at the top of the medal stand -- Logan Stieber (25-1), who avenged his only loss of 2013, and veteran Nick Heflin (24-4), who beat McIntosh in the 197-pound finale.
Northwestern rookie Jason Tsirtsis (27-3) was champion at 149 pounds.
The Big Ten earned 74 allocations. You can bet, however, that of the four at-large bids per weight given on Wednesday plenty will go to Big Ten wrestlers.
Scouting Around
Virginia Tech won its second consecutive ACC title, outdistancing first-year league member Pittsburgh by twenty points. The Panthers were 1-4 in finals bouts, crowning Tyler Wilps at 174. Virginia Tech's Devin Carter returned to the mat, beating Pitt's Edgar Bright in the 141-pound final. Dennis Gustafson (133), Zach Neibert (149), and Chris Penny (184) all earned titles for the Hokies. Carter, just released last week to wrestle, earned the Outstanding Wrestler Award.
"It's a nice, sentimental award, but Dennis Gustafson deserves this as much as I do," Carter said "He's a true freshman who put up bonus points in all three matches and won 11-0 in the finals. Three weeks ago, I thought I'd be a spectactor along with everyone else at this event and to do all this, capped by the Outstanding Wrestler award, is just amazing."
As expected, Cornell ran away with the EIWA title. Lehigh was a distant second, 64 ½ points back. Nahshon Garrett (29-1 at 125), Chris Villalonga (28-2 at 149), Gabe Dean (32-2 at 184), and Jace Bennett (26-9 at 197) were all champions for the Big Red. Lehigh's top-seeded Eliot Riddick had an interesting tournament, losing by fall at 6:59 of his first match but winning five in a row to finish third at 174 pounds.
Harvard's Todd Preston was a surprise champion at 141 pounds. The unranked Blair Academy product beat Hofstra's Luke Vaith in the finals in a weight class that included three of the nation's top ten ranked 141-pounders -- Cornell's Mike Nevinger was fifth and Franklin & Marshall's Richard Durso was third.
Missouri edged UNI by 2 1/2 points to claim top honors in the MAC. MU's J'Den Cox (33-2) avenged a regular season loss to Ohio's Phil Wellington in the 197-pound final and joined teammate Drake Houdeshelt (34-1), the champion at 149, atop the medal stand. Brian Smith's Tigers did not take the lead until 184-pounder Cody Johnston scored a technical fall in a placement bout; Cox's major decision of Wellington provided the final nail in the coffin. Northern Iowa had four champions, led by 133-pounder Joe Colon (30-1) and 125-pound freshman Dylan Peters (31-4). Missouri won the 2012 Big 12 Championship before moving to the MAC and now winning back-to-back titles.
Edinboro ran away with the EWL title by 27 1/2 points. Pittsburgh, now in the ACC, had won the last four tournament titles. The Scots' one-two punch of AJ Schopp and Port continued to roll with Schopp (31-1) easily winning the 133-pound title and Port taking top honors at 141. It was Schopp's third EWL trophy and moves his career record to 103-12.
Bloomsburg 197-pounder Richard Perry continued his fine season, moving his win streak to twenty-nine with a pair of victories. Rider had three champions, including 125-pound sophomore Rob Deutsch (29-4).
North Dakota State ended Wyoming's reign atop the West Regional standings, outdistancing the Cowboys, 74-66, for the 2014 team title. Bison 165-pounder Steven Monk (28-1) led the charge, scoring a pair of falls on his way to a title.
Chattanooga won the Southern Conference Championship, the program's eighth in the last nine years and 28th overall. The Moc's Corey Mock improved to 30-3 with a victory against The Citadel's Turtogtokh Luvsandorj in the 165-pound final.

This post builds on the research article "Versions of the Dead: Kalunga, Cuban-Kongo Materiality, and Ethnography," which was published in the November 2007 issue of the Society's peer-reviewed journal, Cultural Anthropology.
Questions for Classroom Discussion
1. Why is Ochoa intially resistant to acknowledging the goosebumps and other physical sensations as central to his research?
2. How does Isidra use language to establish herself as an authority on Palo?
3. Explain the differential views of Yoruba derived religions and those influenced by Central African (Kongo) traditions.
Classroom Activities and Assignments
Have students (in groups or individually) create conceptual maps laying out the arguments of the various theorists Ochoa references. Then students will trace their contributions to the development of Ochoa's 'minor language' for Palo.
Have students search for U.S. news articles citing Palo and related Afro-Caribbean religions such as Santeria or Candomble. Analyze the perspectives and attitudes presented in these articles with respect to history, politics, economics and migration.
Editorial Overview
How might we write in a way that incorporates at least as much 'presentation' as 'representation'? How might we create a 'foreign language within our own' as a way of handling ethnographic material? How might we then encounter the dead – or more preciely, "versions of the dead?"
In his innovative essay "Versions of the Dead: Kalunga, Cuban-Kongo Materiality, and Ethnography," Todd Ramón Ochoa combines resources from anthropology and philosophy to grapple with this complex problem, creating a language for the dead and matter as they are expressed in the Cuban-Kongo society of affliction known as Palo. Palo practitioners are adept in the visceral apprehension of Kalunga, "the vast sea of the dead," through techniques that defy ethnographic description - perceptions of unstable and unverifiable experience at the limits of sensation, such as chills, goose bumps, or a fluttering in the chest and stomach. Building on his lived experience of this teaching from extended fieldwork, Ochoa presents Kalunga's role in Palo materialism. We sense Kalunga via a "paratactic discourse," murmuring on a "plane of immanence", from which are assembled and into which are dispersed "versions of the dead:" stabilized repetitions along planar, nontranscendent lines, of which the 'objects' and 'subjects' of standard social scientific discourse in anthropology are but one effect. Ochoa evokes a new kind of materialism unique to Palo practices, and establishes the basis for analyzing the healing and harming that distinguish it amid Cuba's formidable religious mélange.
Ochoa, currently in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, grapples with his primary informant's language by importing it into English language ethnography not as a "translation," but as "a foreign language within our own." This, so that Palo's dead might survive its encounter with the text and "continue to resonate, vibrate, with a force of its own." Ochoa pursues this strategy because Palo's basic assumptions about the status of matter, the dead, and the living, resist assimilation into the prevailing ethnographic modes of analysis that adhere to regimes of knowing organized under the signs of negation, identity, and being. In the new language, composed of familiar terms found in Hegel and Marx, and not-so-familiar terms found in Nietzsche and Deleuze, Ochoa reiterates his key informant's articulations and repetitions, aiming to accomplish again what she does with her words: to assemble a language for Palo's dead that is suffused with sensation, a writing that is "touched," materially, by the dead. He achieves what Deleuze and Guattari ascribed to Kafka: a sensitivity to the precariousness of writing that conjures the disruptive potentials of minor languages as they are grafted onto major ones. Finding terms that neither elevate nor amplify a minor tongue in the English language requires not just the translator's art but also the subversive's creativity, born of a willingness to cross planes of reference without pretensions that translation can transcend difference. Ochoa's approach has profound methodological implications for ethnography, for it suggests how as cultural analysts we may bypass the notion that representation be thought of as a simple act of translation.
This essay is a brilliant synthesis of philosophy and narrative evocation. It channels fundamental questions of discourse and power, of generating and maintaining authority through representation, of the ethics of the encounter of content with form, and likewise, of fieldwork with disciplinary precedents. It is certain to be of profound interest to cultural analysts, linguists, literary critics, philosophers and to anyone interested in the politics and poetics of representation.

Nationally, the average price per gallon of gas on Friday was at $2.67, up 16 cents from a week ago and more than 30 cents from a month ago. In New York, the average on Friday was $2.83, an increase of 23 cents from just a week ago, and up 35 cents from a month ago.
Following Harvey, AAA New York Media Relations Manager Robert Sinclair, Jr. said that the continued flooding in the area is leading to electrical failures at refineries, shutting down all production. Hurricane Irma is expected to have a similar effect on prices at the pump, affecting distribution.
According to AAA, motorists in 26 states are paying 25 cents to 44 cents more for a gallon of unleaded compared to seven days ago. Every state has seen an increase in gas prices except four — Alaska, Idaho, Hawaii and Utah — where prices remain stable.
Sinclair noted that with refineries forced to switch the blends of gasoline from an eco-friendly summer blend to a less expensive winter blend by Sept. 15, motorists would normally see prices beginning to drop as stations offload excess barrels in preparation of the switch.
However, with the hurricanes wreaking havoc in the south, there is an air of uncertainty regarding the recent future of gas prices in the area.
"We were poised for a good time. Now it's really a wait and see kind of thing, so long as it keeps raining," he said. "It's impossible to see how or when we will be affected, but I believe we will. It may not be as profound as some other storms in our area, but we will soon see some change."
In a statement, AAA spokesperson Jeanette Casselano said that as Texas begins recovery efforts following Harvey, the organization will continue monitoring Hurricane Irma. In total, eight Gulf Coast refineries are in the process of restarting, which will benefit distribution to the northeast.
"Our regional AAA teams are preparing for the impact Irma may have on our members. The safety of our response teams and members is our number one priority," she said. "AAA will continue to monitor Irma's path and the potential impact the hurricane could have on residents in the area, as well as the refineries, pipelines and supply distribution components."

Story highlights
Coalition of states, utilities is challenging the government's authority to limit air pollution
At issue is whether the EPA can tighten emission standards for all greenhouse gas sources
The government says the tighter rules are an attempt to stem the effects of global warming
Business groups say regulations are hurting the economy and stifling innovation
The Supreme Court will take another look at government regulation of air pollution in a high-stakes environmental and economic fight pitting the Obama administration against a coalition of states and utilities.
The justices announced Tuesday they had accepted six separate appeals for review, which will be consolidated into an hour of oral arguments scheduled for early next year. A ruling is expected by June.
At issue is whether the federal Environmental Protection Agency can tighten emission standards for stationary greenhouse gas sources, such as power plants, in what the government says is an effort to stem the effects of global warming.
The high court in 2007 affirmed the conclusions by much of the scientific community that greenhouse gases are an air pollutant, but that case dealt with emissions from motor vehicles. A range of business groups say the agency then improperly extended its regulatory authority.
Texas was among the states whose cases were accepted.
Climate change to drive annual temps to new highs within a generation, study says
The court rejected three other related appeals, including one from Virginia state officials: broader challenges to the EPA's power over carbon emissions.
Numerous environmental groups support the administration, saying the court's acceptance of only one legal question was a positive sign.
"Today's decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to deny numerous further legal challenges to EPA's science-based determination that six greenhouse gases threaten our nation's health and well-being is a historic victory for all Americans that are afflicted by the ravages of extreme weather," said Vickie Patton, general counsel of the Environmental Defense Fund. "Those decisions make it abundantly clear, once and for all, that EPA has the both legal authority and the responsibility to address climate change and the carbon pollution that causes it."
This is the second major environmental regulation case that will be heard this term.
The justices in December will decide the EPA's ability to measure emissions from an upwind state that is polluting a downwind state, requiring those upwind states to pay for greenhouse gas reductions.
Many business groups hope the conservative majority will limit the reach of government in this and a range of regulatory areas, which the Chamber of Commerce and others say is hurting the economy and stifling innovation.
"The EPA's illegal regulations threaten Texas jobs and Texas employers," Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said of the agency's policies. "As Texas has proven in other lawsuits against the EPA, this is a runaway federal agency, so we are pleased the Obama Administration will have to defend its lawless regulations before the U.S. Supreme Court."
The new cases are Chamber of Commerce of the United States v. EPA (12-1272); Texas v. EPA (12-1269); Southeastern Legal Foundation v. EPA (12-1268); Energy-Intensive Manufacturers Working Group on Greenhouse Gas Regulation v. EPA (12-1254); American Chemistry Council v. EPA (12-1248); and Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA (12-1146).

Northern Irish police seek Boston's entire oral history archive
Three years after Boston College began a lengthy battle to retain control over an oral history project on the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the college may find itself back in court again.
[This is an article from The Chronicle of Higher Education, America's leading higher education publication. It is presented here under an agreement with University World News.]
The Police Service of Northern Ireland, or PSNI, said on 22 May that they would seek the entire archive – all 46 interviews – in which former members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army and loyalist paramilitary groups talked about their activities during the decades-long civil conflict.
Some of those conversations relate to crimes they and others may have committed.
Hot property
"Detectives in Serious Crime Branch have initiated steps to obtain all the material from Boston College as part of the Belfast Project," according to a statement by the police. "This is in line with the PSNI's statutory duty to investigate fully all matters of serious crime, including murder."
In 2011 the police sought, and later received, interviews that discussed one of the most notorious murders in Northern Ireland, the killing of Jean McConville, a widow and mother of 10 whom the IRA believed to be an informer for the British.
Boston College relinquished the complete interviews of two former IRA members along with portions of interviews of a number of other participants.
The police in Belfast subsequently brought in several people for questioning, most notably Gerry Adams, leader of Sinn Fein, the IRA's political counterpart, and a major figure in Northern Ireland. They have so far charged only one person, Ivor Bell, with aiding and abetting McConville's murder.
The investigation has caused turmoil in Northern Ireland, with Adams' supporters arguing that his interrogation had been politically motivated by opponents out to embarrass him and to dismantle the fragile power-sharing arrangement between republicans and loyalists.
The Good Friday Agreement, which took effect in 1998, was the result of negotiations led by a US envoy, George J Mitchell.
Boston College's spokesperson, Jack Dunn, said by email that by 23 May the college had not yet been contacted by the US Department of Justice about the latest police effort, and thus it would be "inappropriate to comment on speculation within Northern Ireland".
The Justice Department began a court case against the college in 2011 on behalf of British authorities through a treaty pledging mutual legal assistance. Christina Sterling, a spokesperson for the US attorney's office in Massachusetts, which handled that case, declined to comment.
'Resist This Raid'
Ed Moloney, who directed the project for Boston College, called on the US government "to resist this raid on an American college's archive and to remember that the ultimate victim, if this succeeds, will be a peace process that was the product of American diplomacy and peace building."
Moloney, an Irish journalist, and Anthony McIntyre, an Irish researcher and writer who conducted the interviews with former IRA members, ultimately fell out with Boston College over the handling of the court case.
The two men argued that the college should have refused to turn over any materials. In an email Moloney said that Boston College should "resist to the utmost this attempt to raid its private archives".
McIntyre said he was not surprised by the latest move by the police.
When Boston College publicly announced that it would return interview materials to participants upon request once the court case was over, he argued, the college created a window of opportunity for the police to go after the remainder of the archive.
Dunn declined to say whether the college had yet returned any materials to people who had requested the return of their interviews.
McIntyre called the latest effort by the police "politically driven in that they probably want further grounds to re-arrest Adams".
Sarah Wunsch, a staff lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, which filed a friend-of-the-court brief on behalf of Moloney and McIntyre in 2012, called the latest police pursuit "very dangerous".
"It raises very important issues for the secretary of state [John F. Kerry] and the attorney general [Eric H Holder], possibly putting in jeopardy the peace process," she said, noting that when he was a US senator, Kerry argued that the United States should ask the British authorities to withdraw their request for the tapes for that very reason.
The project has continued to generate fallout in recent weeks. One participant, Richard O'Rawe, a former IRA member, said he planned to sue Boston College for failing to make him aware of the legal risks and subsequently endangering his life.
Graffiti has popped up around Belfast deriding "Boston College touts", as informers are called. And recently it was revealed that NBC News had petitioned the US district court in Boston for full access to the archives.

*** Time shown in EST 15:08 < mmcgrath> Lets get the meeting started 15:08 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: ill run with it 15:08 < warren> I wont be able to make 7PM EST, but I'm probably not useful right now in this topic anyway. 15:08 < dgilmore> ill just tell you when i need tb's of disk space 15:09 < mmcgrath> Role Call - Who's here 15:09 < abadger1999> yo 15:09 < jcollie> here 15:10 * iWolf is here 15:10 < warren> here 15:10 < mikem23> aye! 15:10 < mmcgrath> Alrighty ---------- Package Database (abadger1999) 15:10 < mmcgrath> Whats the word? 15:11 < abadger1999> How do we want to tie in with koji :-) 15:11 * daMaestro is here 15:11 * f13 is watching 15:11 * dgilmore is here 15:11 -!- mdomsch [firstname.lastname@example.com] has joined #fedora-admin 15:11 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: do you have an idea of how that will go? I still haven't really seen koji 15:11 < abadger1999> I posted http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/PackageDatabase/KojiIntegration 15:11 < mdomsch> sorry I'm late 15:12 < abadger1999> Initial look at how koji and he PackageDB overlap. 15:12 < warren> schema is one thing, but folks really need to think about how we want the workflow to look and enable 15:12 < mmcgrath> mdomsch: no problem 15:12 < warren> the schema must be able to support what we desire 15:12 < warren> schema without workflow is in danger of being only theoretical? 15:13 < abadger1999> warren: More likely, schema without workflow == different ideas in different people's heads. 15:13 < warren> PackageDB isn't a blocker for F7. Maybe we should just do minimal work on koji to get it running, and having something concrete to use, we'll have a better idea of how to integrate it to create PackageDB? 15:13 < abadger1999> The packagedb schema will eable the workflow I'm envisioning. 15:14 < abadger1999> But it doesn't enable all that koji can do. 15:14 < abadger1999> And vice versa 15:14 < abadger1999> I'd really like to see packagedb for f7 15:14 < warren> Hm... 15:14 < dgilmore> warren: thats the plan 15:14 < abadger1999> As the whole owners.list mess is going to drive packagers away. 15:14 < warren> Yes, owners.list and lack of automation in other stuff is a mess. 15:14 < mmcgrath> abadg1er1999: +1 15:15 < abadger1999> I would like to have packagedb and koji separate dbs and processes for F7. 15:15 -!- neuro_ [email@example.com] has quit [Remote closed the connection] 15:15 < warren> If you're serious about this, this sounds like something I should be focusing on myself. 15:15 < warren> I was thinking that PackageDB wouldn't be feasible for F7. 15:15 < f13> aside from initialCC, is koji db missing anything for replacing owners.list? 15:15 < abadger1999> The packagers would primarily work through the packagedb to create and manage acls, ownership, etc. 15:15 < f13> oh I guess package description and all that. 15:15 < abadger1999> f13: Yes. 15:15 < warren> We want to be careful not to block new buildsystem on packageDB, if this will take too long. 15:16 < abadger1999> It also misses FAS tie in and such. 15:16 < warren> abadger1999, another issue... 15:16 < f13> abadger1999: the script we use internally actually looks at the rpm to get the description and such for the bugzilla entry 15:16 < abadger1999> warren: The big question is really, how do we want the two to interact. 15:16 < f13> abadger1999: the FAS tie? Wouldnt that be the "owner" in koji? 15:16 < warren> isn't the fedora-cvs procedure relatively straight forward and usable for the short-term? the hard confusing and upsetting part has been reviews, which would be even more difficult to fix with packagedb. 15:17 < warren> hm 15:18 < dgilmore> warren: we need minimal talking betwen buildsys and packagedb in phase 1 15:18 < warren> Perhaps an organic growth model would be good here. 15:18 < warren> start with koji with minimal modifications to get it running, using our existing owners.list and FAS 15:18 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: Think you can do what you need to by F7? 15:18 -!- lutter [i=dlutter@nat/redhat/x-da84fb76bd0b3cc4] has quit [Client Quit] 15:18 < mmcgrath> or does that depend on koji? 15:18 < warren> Having that, will have something tangible to spark imaginations for PackageDB, which can grow alongside it, depending on koji at first. 15:19 < abadger1999> It depends on what workflow we want -- exactly as warren said. 15:19 < dgilmore> warren: thatshow i saw it with ties into the packagedb as it came up 15:19 < abadger1999> Maybe we should keep them completely separate and packagers will have to use two separate interfaces -- packagedb for owners.list stuff and koji for building. 15:19 < dgilmore> with the packagedb and buildsysdb becoming one over time 15:19 < warren> I suspect that anything that grows to depend on koji will have redundant and poorly normalized (confusing and bad design) databases. We can take what we learned from this Ph ase 1, and reimplement it together for Phase 2 after Fedora 7. 15:20 < warren> abadger1999, separate but with same authentication shouldn't be too bad. 15:20 < abadger1999> The area where I see the packagedb starting to get into koji's space is that we can define acls on who can build a package. 15:20 < dgilmore> warren: all should authenticate from fas 15:20 < abadger1999> (Duplicate information on what collection a package belongs to as well. But that's not as much of a problem in the short term.) 15:21 < warren> Do we like the phased approach? 15:21 < warren> Phase 1: Get koji up, use FAS 15:21 < warren> Grow packagedb to depend on both 15:21 < dgilmore> warren: yes 15:21 < warren> Perhaps let packagedb takeover owners.list if it becomes ready. 15:21 < warren> Phase 2: Maybe after Fedora 7, make it less of a spaghetti mess. 15:22 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: is that something like what you had in mind for this? 15:22 < abadger1999> Pretty much. The only question I have is should I enable build acls in the packageDB. 15:22 < abadger1999> It's something we want. 15:23 < abadger1999> So, for instance, we can have "limited comaintainers" who can commit but not build. 15:23 < f13> that starts to get quite complicated :/ 15:23 < abadger1999> But that requires the packagedb to talk with koji. 15:23 < f13> I'd rather keep things simple 15:23 < abadger1999> It can be simple if the packagedb invokes koji to build. 15:23 < abadger1999> Rather than packagers going straight to koji. 15:23 < mmcgrath> f13: where do you see the build acl's living? 15:24 < f13> mmcgrath: well, somewhere that koji can read from (: 15:24 < mmcgrath> I think thats what toshio is saying, that they'd both be pulling from the same datasource. 15:25 < f13> all ACLs should live in the same place and be adjustable by the same interface 15:25 < mmcgrath> unless I'm confused? 15:25 < f13> I really think buildACLs is an After F7 feature 15:25 < abadger1999> How about we make buildACLs the first priority of Phase 2? Then we can finish up the easy points of the PackageDB and getting koji running. 15:26 < abadger1999> Where they're separate. 15:26 < warren> We really don't need buildACL's, and IMHO cvs ACL's is a bit paranoid. In practice I suspect the vast majority of packages to just remove their ACL. 15:26 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: sounds good to me. 15:26 < abadger1999> And if we have time, we can work on it for F7 if not, it'll come in when we integrate everything for F8. 15:26 < warren> what is more important is push ACL, which is enforced at the update system interface. 15:26 < warren> which will probably need to tie into packagedb eventually... 15:26 < mmcgrath> You can always get a prototype together for F7 and let us decide if it should wait. 15:26 < warren> has anyone looked into the schema of lmacken's update system? 15:27 < mmcgrath> I haven't. 15:27 < abadger1999> Not yet. 15:27 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: lets make that the plan then, leave out the buildACL's for now but focus on the rest. 15:27 < warren> abadger1999, if you happen to make something that WORKS rapidly and convince everyone of it, then we may just jump onboard. but I think people are more concerned now about getting the minimal stuff online in order to get the job done, and avoid blocking on something that will take too long. 15:28 < abadger1999> warren: Right. 15:28 < abadger1999> That sounds like a plan. 15:28 < warren> the phased approach (evolving over time) might work 15:28 < mmcgrath> Sounds good, abadger1999: anything else or should we move on? 15:28 < warren> get the minimal online, then evolve it to suck less with packagedb, show that it works. 15:29 < warren> Phase 1: minimal koji with FAS 15:29 < warren> Phase 2: packagedb improvments to make it suck less 15:29 < abadger1999> BTW: I havne't published this URL yet, but I have a development snap running on https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb-dev 15:29 < warren> Phase 3: unspaghettification 15:29 < abadger1999> Which I reserve the right to break while admin.fp.o/pkgdb is supposed to work for people to show others. 15:30 < mmcgrath> sounds good, moving on. 15:30 < mmcgrath> VCS choice. 15:30 < f13> choice for what? 15:31 < mmcgrath> I vote that we should move this down to priority 2 for a while. The fact is CVS is here, it works and people aren't exactly beating down our doors to change it. 15:31 < f13> yeah, bench ituntil we get reports from SCM Sig 15:31 < mmcgrath> plus we have enough other stuff going on at the moment. 15:32 < abadger1999> +10 15:32 < mmcgrath> heh, ok. moving it down 15:32 < mmcgrath> Upgrading systems ----------------------- (iWolf) ? 15:32 < iWolf> here! 15:33 < mmcgrath> still waiting on the drives on the old CVS box? 15:33 < mmcgrath> mgalgoci: ping 15:33 < iWolf> I have completely sucked of late. Between day job and baby on the way my time has been scarce. 15:33 < iWolf> Hence, why I've been so quiet of late. 15:33 < iWolf> So no real progress to report. :( 15:33 < mmcgrath> iWolf: no worries. It happens. If you'd like We can always move that task to someone else till you get some more free time? 15:34 < iWolf> If someone has time to get to it, my feelings won't be hurt. 15:34 < mmcgrath> <nod> 15:34 < mmcgrath> luke's not here so thats out 15:34 < mmcgrath> wiki upgrade ------------------------------- (mmcgrath) 15:34 < mmcgrath> so paulobanon and kim0 have both done a wiki upgrade and have informed me that it will be pretty painless. 15:34 < mmcgrath> I've been testing on my own and I think it will be. 15:35 < mmcgrath> here's the idea, make the wiki read-only. 15:35 < mmcgrath> copy the data over to the app server that will take it over. 15:35 < mmcgrath> test 15:35 -!- lutte1 [i=dlutter@nat/redhat/x-25b99838c4522506] has quit [Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)] 15:35 < mmcgrath> change DNS. 15:35 < mmcgrath> wiki upgrade done. 15:35 < mmcgrath> There will be odds and ends we need to fix but I'm pretty sure they are small. 15:36 < mmcgrath> I'm trying to get us some common storage on the back end so we can cluster the wiki but I've not been given any timeline as to when that may happen or even that we have the resources for it now. 15:36 < mmcgrath> the old fpserv will become a live backup of the cvs server as well as being our primary DNS server. 15:36 < mmcgrath> Config management ----------------------------- (mmcgrath) 15:37 < mmcgrath> I've been testing puppet, I'm trying to make sure it is and stays sane.

The quest for research information
Journal Title
Journal ISSN
Volume Title
Research information, i.e., data about research projects, organisations, researchers or research outputs such as publications or patents, is spread across the web, usually residing in institutional and personal web pages or in semi-open databases and information systems. While there exists a wealth of unstructured information, structured data is limited and often exposed following proprietary or less-established schemas and interfaces. Therefore, a holistic and consistent view on research information across organisational and national boundaries is not feasible. On the other hand, web crawling and information extraction techniques have matured throughout the last decade, allowing for automated approaches of harvesting, extracting and consolidating research information into a more coherent knowledge graph. In this work, we give an overview of the current state of the art in research information sharing on the web and present initial ideas towards a more holistic approach for boot-strapping research information from available web sources.

13,000 Lights on NYK's Car Carriers Changed to Next-Generation Energy-Saving Units
TOKYO — To make improvements in energy and economic efficiency, NYK has installed E·COOL, a next-generation energy-saving fluorescent lighting system produced by Optrom, Inc., on six NYK-operated car carriers. Since April 2012, approximately 13,000 fluorescent lights have been replaced by E·COOL.
E·COOL uses a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) that has been used for years in LCD monitors. The CCFL has superior features both in terms of energy-saving capabilities and economic efficiency. It consumes less power, has a longer operating life, offers greater brightness, and is flicker-free, thus making it gentler on the eyes. A power-consumption savings of around 40 percent is expected compared to the use of conventional fluorescent lamps. When a car carrier's lighting system is replaced by E·COOL, CO2 emissions on voyages are reduced by up to 1 percent. During fiscal 2013, NYK plans to replace around 40,000 conventional fluorescent lamps with E·COOL.
Optrom, Inc. is headquartered in the city of Sendai in Japan's Tohoku area, which was devastated by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and ensuing tsunami. The company is donating part of the proceeds of E·COOL unit sales to the area to assist with reconstruction. A part of the proceeds for the sale of the E·COOL units to NYK will be donated to the NPO Child Line Miyagi,* which is based in Sendai, for reconstruction support through a charitable trust overseen by the Japan Philanthropic Association,** a non-profit organization. Child Line Miyagi operates a toll-free hot line for children under 18 years old, and has expanded its activity to support children from the damaged area.
NYK will continue its efforts for a sustainable global environment and society through ecological initiatives, in addition to its support of reconstruction two years after the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Collins: Support After Coming Out "Incredible"
Jason Collins said he has gotten "incredible" support since coming out as the first openly gay player in one of the four major U.S. pro sports leagues, and hopes he may have made the path easier for others to follow.
Collins sat down for an interview that was aired by ABC's Good Morning America on Tuesday, one day after the veteran NBA center revealed his sexuality in a first-person story posted on Sports Illustrated's website.
"I think, I know, in my personal life, I'm ready and I think the country is ready for supporting an openly gay basketball player," Collins told ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
ABC aired the interview in two segments, with Stephanopoulos asking Collins in the second portion if he hoped that other players will follow his example.
"I hope that every player makes a decision that leads to their own happiness, whatever happiness that is in life," Collins responded. "I know that I, right now, am the happiest that I've ever been in my life."
Collins said he went through something akin to a 12-step program while deciding to come out, dealing with emotions such as anger and denial.
"But when you finally get to that point of acceptance, there's nothing more beautiful than just allowing yourself to really be happy and be comfortable in your own skin," Collins said.
Dozens of NBA players sent messages to Collins after the story was posted Monday, many doing so through social media. The support didn't stop there, with President Barack Obama also calling to offer his support.
"It's incredible. Just try to live an honest, genuine life and the next thing you know you have the president calling you," Collins said. "He was incredibly supportive and he was proud of me, said this not only affected my life but others going forward."
Collins said he does not know of any other gay NBA players. He also told ABC that he was overwhelmed by the reaction of tennis legend Martina Navratilova, who came out in 1981 and called him a pioneer after he went public with his story.
"I look at her as one of my heroes, the dignity and class that she's lived her life and all that she's achieved in her career," Collins said. "She is my role model. Hopefully going forward I can be someone else's role model."
Collins averaged 1.1 points this season for the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards. He will be a free agent this offseason, and plans to continue his career.
"From my teammates, I'm expecting support because that's what I would do for my teammates," Collins told ABC. "A team is like a family. The NBA is like a brotherhood. And I'm looking at it like we all support each other, on and off the court."
Asked by Stephanopoulos what his story could mean to youth who play basketball and are worried about their futures because they are gay, Collins offered a simple piece of advice.
"It doesn't matter that you're gay. The key thing is that it's about basketball," Collins said. "It's about working hard, it's about sacrificing for your team. It's all about dedication. That's what you should focus on."
In the second part of the ABC interview, Collins discussed what it was like to come out to his family and people closest to him. In the SI piece, Collins said that the first relative he came out to was his aunt, Teri Jackson, a San Francisco Superior Court Judge — "so I guess she's good at reading people," Collins told ABC.
"When you keep telling yourself a lie, at some point you buy your own cover story, like a CIA spy or something," Collins said.
His own twin brother, Jarron Collins, had no idea about his brother's orientation.
"I am really good at playing it straight," Jason Collins said, laughing at his own joke. "Maybe he needs to hang out with my aunt a little more, get a discerning eye like she has."
Collins told Stephanopoulos that he one day hopes to be married and have children, but currently describes his relationship status as single.
"I tried everything in the book as far as trying to convince myself to lead the life that you should," said Collins, who dated women in the past and was once engaged. "Calling off the wedding was obviously a tough decision, but it was the right one, because I knew I wasn't getting married for the right reasons."
ABC said the interview was taped Monday night in Los Angeles.

Bill's Smoothies
Raw Vegetable Smoothie #2
The trick to making a raw food diet work is to eat healthy foods in a combination that's not boring. You can see from the ingredients and the nutrient analysis below that this is very balanced, healthy, and nutritious food. But if you don't enjoy chewing all day on not very interesting flavors, try putting it all in a blender ( I use a Vita-Mix 5000) and making it into a smoothie. This is not a recipe in the usual sense since nothing gets cooked. You can start with the basic ingredients and experiment with combinations that bring out the best flavors to suit your own taste buds, but remember that the raw veggies are where most of the nutrients are coming from.
Start by pouring the liquid ingredients ( lemon juice, salsa) into the blender to give it a "draw." Then simply stuff in the remaining ingredients and blend until the texture is that of a creamy milkshake (2-5 minutes). If you're trying to lose weight, leave out the sunflower and sesame seeds. If weight is no concern, use a half cup of each to lend a smoother texture, but seeds are high in fat so that amount brings fat Calories up to 64%. A half cup of un-hulled (brown) sesame seeds contains ~ 500 mg calcium.
Calories in recipe: 797
Optional ingredients that can be added to the recipe but are not included in the analysis:
2 tbsp Naturade Soy Free Protein Booster
1 Nature's Life Mega-Vita-Min tablet
1 Country Life Maxi-Cal Calcium tablet
1 tsp flaxseed oil (contains Alpha-linolenic acid [ALA], the essential omega-3 fatty acid).
1 Country Life 500 mg Rutin tablet *
1 Kal 50 mg zinc tablet
*Unhulled (brown) sesame seeds contain 1100 mg of calcium per 100 grams (1 cup). The calcium RDA is ~ 800 mg/day.
**Red Star T6635+ Nutritional Yeast is available in the bulk section of most health food stores. Yeast does not synthesize vitamin B12 (cobalamin) but B12 from bacterial culture has been added to this brand of yeast, so it is one of the few dependable non-animal sources of vitamin B12, aside from B12 injections, tablets, and multivitamin pills.
"***"Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is one of two essential fatty acids in the human diet, the other being linoleic acid (LA). ALA is the first of the omega-3 fatty acids from which is made eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), the famous ingredient in fish oil believed to reduce coronary risk, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) which is an important component in brain and nervous system cell membranes. Linoleic acid (LA) is the other essential fatty acid and it is plentiful in most grains. Both EPA and DHA can be formed in the human body from ALA, but since ALA is synthesized only in green plant cells, most humans, including traditional vegetarians, get marginal amounts of ALA since they eat more grains than greens. Flaxseed oil is 100% fat, which is bad, but the ALA content of 1 tsp probably justifies its use.
Re: ALA and LA (1). No Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) has been officially been set for these fatty acids, however, "On the basis of the available evidence, 0.5 to 1 en% of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in a diet with 5 to 10 en% linoleic acid seems to be an adequate level of essential fatty acid (EFA) intake for humans, which also covers increased EFA requirements during pregnancy, lactation, and infancy."(2). This means that in a 2200 Calorie day's food supply about .5%-1% of Calories should come from ALA which means 22 Calories or 22/9=2.4 gms of ALA/day. 1 tsp of flaxseed oil contains ~ 4 gms of ALA.
"****"Rutin is a plant flavonoid which strengthens skin capillaries. I recommend it to older patients whose skin is easily bruised and torn.
A Few Words about Blenders
While raw fooders may argue that blenderized raw foods are not really raw, the flip side is that a vegan diet is full of indigestible fiber (made of cellulose) and that all plant cell membranes are protected by a cell wall made of this tough stuff. Perhaps the best dietary pattern is day long grazing but for those who don't have the time to chew every morsel until it has become microscopic in size, a blender is a useful tool.
Digestion depends on enzymes and the efficiency with which enzymes digest food strongly depends on the surface area of the swallowed food. Surface area is greatly increased by chewing or grinding the food and the increase is roughly proportional to the cube root of the number [(n)^1/3] of fragments made from the original food item. Thus if a roughly spherical Macadamia nut is broken by the blender blades into one million idealized spherical particles the total exposed surface area is 100 times that of the original nut. If n goes to a billion particles the surface area becomes 1,000 times greater, for n = one trillion 10,000 times greater, etc. By increasing surface area in this way digestion is greatly aided by increasing the chances for an enzyme to reach it's appropriate food substrate.
There may now be better blenders than the Vita-Mix on the market, but I've had one for ~ 30 years now and have found that on the rare occasions when it goes on the blink, there is really no substitute to be found among the usual department store blenders. The most digestible smoothie has no discernible particles left in it, they've all been reduced to the consistency of milk. To achieve this effect one needs not only a very strong blender but the ability to balance added water so that the resulting smoothie is like milk. Too much water and there's a loss of flavor and left over particles that escaped the spinning blade; not enough and your tongue will report that there are still particles present, and that means reduced surface area for digestive enzymes to interact with.
