i appreciate j. cole's honesty and the way he handled those questions. clearly the radio host was trying make him say some stuff.lol all and all, j.cole is talented as well with the wordplay, flow, and lyrics. at least he recognizes drake's talent and lane.

@Nico, this is RocNation's 1st hiphop signing... in terms of lyrical skill he's up there with Drake but so far, my honest opinion is Drake offers more musically... I swear, my obituary will have a section that says mail my accapella's to October's Very Own just so I can do one song with him (Drake).

No diss to Drake, cause he's talented. But for the sake of conversation.. J. Cole has a better chance of being considered a Jay or a Pac or a BIG then Drake will ever have if you REALLY sit down and think about the shit. And for many reasons but ima point out the most obvious yet most controversial.. Drake isn't from the streets. Let me take that back, cause I don't know where the fuck he was at, Drake isn't 'considered' from the streets. So he will never have that appeal and that true emotion. Even though he speaks on shit we've all been through.. I don't think it'll ever get respected as much as when a person such as J. Cole speaks on it.
- September 24, 2009 at 10:33 AM
@Finy Shaw,
no shots at u or anything, cause you're just stating your opinion, and i respect that. but your comment sounds pretty immature.
i know when you say, 'drake won't be considered the next big, pac or jay' you're saying the next legend who came from the streets.. but really, who is checking for someone from the streets anymore? do you want him to be spittin about all the crack he sold or the shots that were fired at him? cause really, that doesn't seem to merit much these days.
or maybe you think that if you're not from the streets, then your life doesn't have that same weight in emotions and hardship...
all i'm saying is.. if the audience is checking for only artists that came up through the grit, then we all lost. gotta diversify!
with that being said, j-cole is dope. but ain't nobody fuckin' with drake or toronto.

- Finy Shaw said...
You misread me. When I say from the streets.. that's exactly what I meant, from it. Not rapping about it there's a difference. J. Cole's from the streets, yet in none of his records will you hear gun talk or crack sales. But because he's actually from the streets.. his music appeals more true the Drakes. That's the error in the game I was getting at. Then again like I stated before, I don't know if Drake is from the streets, seems like he's not and that's just based on his demeanor not his records. Then again, that's an assumption.

First Off it was NOT funny when he fell and hurt himself on stage AT ALL! It wouldve been if he didnt get seriously injured but my love had to have freaking SURGERY cuz of it. AND he missed out on the rest of the tour so I didnt even get to see him in KC (which totally broke my heart!). 2nd off J Cole is right in saying that this is Drake's destiny and that all his stars aligned and thats why he is getting his shine on right now. Drake is VERY talented and deserves all of the success in the world.
And for those of all trynna say he will be or will NOT be the next Pac and Big... there will NEVER be another Pac or Big, or JayZ or Lil Wayne for that matter. The reason why is because they all brought something to the game that no other artist has and they are artists that cannot be copied. Just like there will NEVER be another Michael Jackson. Also Drake DOES NOT need to rap about drugs and voilence and selling crack to kids to be considered talented and worthy of his hype in hiphop. Drake spits the TRUTH! Whatever he has gone through or is going through is what he talks about. That is EXACTLY what I look for in an Artist, HONESTY. If I can't trust your music then I cant trust you or be a fan and Drake is one of those people that you just believe, he speaks from within himself. To sit here and say he has an emotional disconnect from hiphop because he isn't from "the streets" is complete bullshit. If you have EVER listened to the lyrics he spits you can FEEL that shit, you can feel his pain and his happiness. So ya'll are either deaf or ignorant.
And Drake is lucky enough to be raised in Canada but also have roots down south in Memphis so he doesnt have to go down that segregated path of hip hop that so many other artist had to (ex. Pac and Big). Since he doesn't make it about MY HOMETOWN MY CITY MY WHATEVER he can appeal to a mass amount of people because there is not that regional segregation which is another thing that I love about him.
Anyways like I previously stated Drake deserves all of the success in the world. One day his shit may get so tight that we can say there will NEVER be another Drake. Who knows. If he keeps doing what he is doing then that all might fall into place for him as well.
(can u feel all the passion I got for ya boy? lol)

man.that interview pisses me off. but j cole was right. drizzy's stars aligned, and his flow (all aspects) ARE perfect to mainstream music. but he left out that there is something special about drakes music which draws people in. something that not alot of artists possess. Kanye is like that too. Wayne. Hov as well, to some, maybe not all. When i listen to drake i can relate to what he's rappin about and it sits within me. honestly i dont listen to much else anymore, with the exception of the few i listed above. but respect goes to j.cole for not bein a hater.

Guess it's a bit bios tryna' have a healthy debate about Drake on HIS blog. Not saying the nigga aint got no talent, or he weak. He's doing his thing.. as a true hip hop fan, maybe my views are a bit skewed to that mainstream shit. Never said neither Cole or Drizzy was the next Pac or BIG, obviously there wont be a next one. For the SAKE OF ARGUMENT, I said, J. Cole has a better chance of being CONSIDERED up there with them, then Drake does for a number of reasons, but I chose to disclose one. Not to take nothing from Drake. He's a GREAT artist but a good rapper. Cole is the other way around, and because of that.. He'd have a better chance. That's all.

Jealousy is too easy to read/watch through these days...period.
I don't feel J.Cole, he just doesn't move me, but that's not to say he isn't appealing [||] to others.
*He says, "the super duper buzz guy or to be over-hyped (hand movements included) or whatever the case is" and then people in the room laughed, and he laughs with them.
^J.Cole Not cool.
*Why does he say Drake is perfect for "Mainstream"? WTF! Nikka please, Drake is dope for anybody and he's just able to move popular culture.
^J.Cole Not Cool.
*And how does an artist say, "My buzz ain't that big because it's not suppose to be that big?" Umm...huh!? Nikka, go in [||]!
^J.Cole Not Cool.
Now though he rectifies himself by complimenting Drake, still, this nikka is suspect.
And REAL TALK, when Drake fell, I never laughed, what type of shit is that? This dude isn't ok with Drizzy's stature...but then again, who is, vvright?
A Drake Song > A J.Cole w| Hov ON IT; EVER!

Fuck where a dude is from. Its about talent and Drake is talented, bottom line. Who wants to be the next Big or Pac? You have never seen anyone that sounds like Drake witch means hes original and hes bringing something new.
J.Cole needs to mind his own and get his own.
See people stopped listening to Charles Hamilton when he was hatting on Soulja Boy.

First off, the interviewer was tryna get J. Cole to say some ish abt Drizzy, but he answered well. Everyone is entitled to their own view and opinion. But I didnt understand what J. Cole meant abt Drizzy, being good for mainstream or whatever???? Seems like a shot to me. Secondly, he is right that it's just Drake's time right now, you really cant fight the momentum. Lastly laughing when he fell and seriously hurt himself, is really immature and LAME. Shit is lame, lets hope none of them fall and get fucked up, cause they wouldnt want anyone to laugh now would they!
He is talented and getting his. Nukkas gon hate. Damn which newcomer can say they have , Kanye West, Em & Lil Wayne on one of their tracks????
Drizzy to the world!

Some of you guys are really sensitive. J. Cole didnt mean anything by the mainstream comment and Drake is GREAT for mainstream meaning he will be more successful then most artist b/c he's blending genres. Drake is a multifaceted musician and it comes across in his music and the fans see that and at the end of the day that's what'll make him successful. and lol laughing when he fell... not like dude was there watching him he probably saw it on youtube like 99% of us did and its easier to laugh at the fact when you know the person is fine.

What is J.Cole Doingg.
Octobers Very Own posted his freestyle it was Fire, thats equivalent to showing him love.
and now he comes at drake like this. yeah the talk show guy was asking questions on purpose, but as a artist you should know how to dodge those questions. he didnt even bother and laughed.
In all honesty this could to were Roc Nation and Young Money get into a Battle to hype the listeners up while making money off both drake and J.Cole when theres really not beef.

Both of them are equally as nice. Each one has their own lane. Respect it and get over it.
And yes, I do agree with J. Cole. Drake stars were already in alignment (i.e. The Degrassi) so people where going to listen intially off of that. ... whether to slam him or not. Moreover, Drake openly admits to that which is why people love him---> Honesty.
Not discrediting Drakes talent, because believe me I'm a BIG fan.
But, you can't deny the fact that his buzz already had somewhat of a foundation. That's just fact and you can't argue with that.
So please people, don't create any confusion and let a man have his own opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own.
And honestly, whats the benefit of posting this on the site anyways? Some shit could be started off of this.....

I do think that J.cole handled the questions well. The interviewer came out and stated that he didn't like Drake and J.Cole held him down without putting himself down.
And to be real, you can't compare Drake and J.Cole. They are two different artists who represent two different areas/styles. If you ever truely listen to their music, they rap about different subject matters, which makes them both unique in their own way. Its kinda like comparing Hov and Nas; you can't in the end, cause they both rap about different things with different styles but are considered the best in their own right.
In the end, as long as good music is still being made, I can care less who is next up for the crown. Cause there will never be another Jay-Z, Nas, Pac or BIG.... Let Drake be Drake and let J.Cole be J.Cole, so people can say, who is the next Drake/J.Cole

Seeing how yall dont know who Jcole is proves that drake is great for mainstream because honestly alot of us can say we started checkin out drake because he was on degrassi jcole came from nothin and honestly no hate drake is one of my favorites right now but jcole is better and its because drake doesnt really have issues venturing outside of relationships and how ppl feel about him jcole talks about stuff i can relate to more often then drake does but shout out to both of em they doin they thing and jay co-signed drake jay actually SIGNED this dude

Lemme tell you what's making Drake so hot right now as a new artist:
His voice (tone and flow), swagger, honesty, and the music/beats behind his lyrics.
J. cole was right in saying that everything is aligning for Drake and all those things are pushing him to the top.

^^^^^^^donell. That's a freestyle key word "free" Not a real song at all. Now say it with me now "So Far Gone" Drake put out that mixtape how long ago...and now its being sold in stores and on Itunes being bought by all the little white kids who are jocking off Successful...

- Chavis said...
They both nice...J.Cole is in tha same position drake was in when he dropped Room For Improvement....so if j.cole is gonna blow then he will have to show it whenever he drops a cd. Becuz Comeback Season and So Far Gone got drake to where he is now...and thats "CONSISTENT" lyrical ability and songs that people could feel.
But Check out my boy Jim D mixtape..boy got bars and delivery is on POINT!!

I used to be the BIGGEST Drake-Head for years, but something changed in his appeal to me this year. Maybe it was the crazy hype he got,idk.
But what I will say, is J.Cole is THE TRUTH. If you are just commenting on this thread without listening to either The Come Up or The Warm Up..then I'd seriously consider taking a look at those.
To me, his content is way more conscious than Drakes. I can appreciate Drake's flow and his lyrics: he's dope. But man J.Cole is really sick wit it.
Anyway, I liked the vid. Word.

J.cole kept it real and clean...but that dj was tryna get something started lol..somebody said j.cole has more of a chance being a Jay-z, pac or big...not true at all, the reason why all 3 of them are as big as they are is bcuz their styles appealed to everyone...drake has that and j.cole doesnt..dont get me wrong, j.cole is talented as hell but no girl is going to pick up a j.cole cd over a drake cd...simple as that
- October 3, 2009 at 6:54 PM
lol @ people getting all sensitive and choosing sides. nothing J Cole said was wrong or malicious. that bitch ass interviewer was tryin to start shit
this is why the media is so fucked up. u cant have a britney without a christina aguilera, a Pac without Biggie, a Brandy without a Monica.
you can like BOTH artists. the media tries to play up to small minded ppl and pit artists against each other and thats what this lame DJ was tryin to do and i think J Cole handled himself VERY well
and for the ppl saying they didnt laugh, y'all are lyin thru ur teeth! of COURSE its not funny when anyone gets hurt but im sure a lot of you laughed when Scarlett took a damn tumble. Shewt. When you know there was no damage on a grand scale a chuckle aint bad ... J Cole was in a bad position from jump with this interviewer. shit was tense and he was tryin to dodge some tough questions. maybe he needed to laugh about it to get rid of that tension.
p.s. i too, remember when no one was checkin for this blog & there were barely any comments made, LOL. funny shit.

Shout out to LMo and Foxxy! lol
I too was THE biggest Drake-head ever!
Been on this man since 2004 musically!
But J.Cole took Drake's position as my fav. rapper but people arent giving him the chance he deserves.
But people will jump on eventually.
I did the same ish with Drake years ago; trying to tell people about him and they wouldnt listen until Wayne co-signed.
Sadly, alot of people only jump on the bandwagon when that beesh is at capacity.
- October 6, 2009 at 5:02 PM
lol i think im going to stop listening to hip hop for a while because all this talk about "you cant be considered a legend if u aint from the streets" thats bullshit plain straight forward u can talk about shit that you see with out actually living it everyday and oh because hes educated and doesnt speak always about the oppression of the hood hes not considered to be Legendary one day ? LOL well if thats what yall feel is hip hop then you all can keep that shit because its about Musicianship not about where you come from period...kanye is from the southside of chicago one of the most deadliest places in the country but he doesnt speak on that shit and so is common like ive said thousands of times before people need to stop paying attention to the lives of artist current or past because it tarnishes their music
- October 6, 2009 at 5:38 PM
- Joseph!! said...
J. Cole is talented fsurree. but they each have a different style. Drake has those clever lyrics that make you think. i remember someone once said "Drake sucks cause he only raps with one syllable" e.g (rap and crap). and i thought about this and who ever stated that to be good as an artist you need to have multi syllable rhymes. yknow? Drakes strong suit is his metaphor. He raps about life, real shit.
No offense to J. Cole he is dope too. but his day will come eventually.
one more thing. if i were a rapper it would be a HUGE complement to be called the next pac or big. but that wouldnt be enough for me. artist these days should start trying to make a league of their own

yall notice whats lining up tho?

Drake used to rap completely different from the way he raps now...Not saying he fell off but I dug the more soulful Little Brother sounding music as opposed to his new music like Money to Blow or even some of the songs on So Far Gone...Im not sure if it was a business move or what but whatever u gotta do to get your money...Dont get me wrong he still dope...But J. Cole just has that below the radar appeal that drake used to have when he dropped Room For Imporovement...Both talented artist
- December 3, 2009 at 5:56 PM
- Aaron said...
i'm sorry but anyone who says drake will be one of the best is stupid.
he hasnt even come out with a real album yet. i swear so many people act like they know hip-hop. Drake grew up rich and he was acting in the show degrassi as a guy in a wheel chair and you are just going to hand him the reigns after he had only a couple good tracks like best i ever had and forever but really when you think about drake isnt rapper he's a pop star. hip hop isnt about choruses its about telling the story of the struggles of themselves and their people ever since hiphop became about chains the whole purpose of it became diluted .
now j.cole hasnt released an album yet either however he has great lyrics much better than drakes and he was rappin on many classic beats in the mixtape the warmup and he did as good as andre 3000 on the beat,listen to cole's song i get up (he produced himself) he actually raps about real things drake doesnt talk about much at all (and he doesnt produce and he doesnt write his music well if at all) if j.cole started to make choruses like drake then he would be undoubtedly the better of the two but for now he is just a little bit better because hip-hop is all about lyrics without it there will be no substance therefore it would not be a legitimate genre but FOR ALL FANBOYS WAIT TILL THEY BOTH RELEASE THEIR OWN ALBUMS BEFORE YOU JUDGE WHO IS THE BETTER OF THE TWO and dont just follow drake because he's in young money being a media whore actually listen to j.cole's stuff and stop being ignorant you might actually like his stuff if actually try...
- February 3, 2010 at 2:45 AM
Why do people wanna stir up beef between two talented rappers.. J.Cole and Drake are the future and im happy for both of them. i hope they take the game to another level. Me being from the south is glad that we have someone like J.Cole and also Jay Electronica to rep us, and show the fact that we have good hip hop instead of these wack ass shit like OJ the Juiceman or Wack Flocka, shit even Gucci Mane.. Wayne is good dont get me wrong but these dudes talk about better things... THE END ps. Big Sean, Wale, XV, and Cudi
- May 22, 2010 at 6:33 PM
ummmm i wasn't even able to watch the whole thing because that just made me so flippin mad!! don't talk about drake like that at all!!!!!!
- June 28, 2010 at 1:31 PM
both of them are really different, a lot of people have their own confirmed bias showing, but for real both are talented just enjoy both of their music...just like enjoying jay, lupe, common, nas, pac, kid cudi, kanye, mos def, taleb kwali, the roots the rest of lists goes on.

preventing /tmp from getting cleaned on reboot
Hi Everyone !
I've dedicated 19g for /tmp which is a loss if I can't keep data (ie. iso images) there in.
Is there a way to change the system's boot behavior so that data in /tmp is not cleaned on reboot ?
Thank you :-)
Read heir(7). Read its documentation for /var/tmp and then read daily(8).
As pointed out by the hier(7) manpage, by definition /tmp is designed for temporary file usage. Why are you wanting to store files there?
Is it because you created such a large partition for /tmp? Or have you fallen into a usage pattern which you want to perpetuate by redesigning Unix to fit the practice?
It seems like a really bad idea to change /tmp into permanent storage for random crap. An easy fix would be to just nuke that partition, make a smaller /tmp and then a new partition for storage.
jgimmi,ocicat,denta, thank you very much !!!
next_part "Removing scratch and junk files:"
Since you asked us for our opinion on whether it is advisable for you to alter the OS's function rather than use it as designed.... I must answer NO, it is not advisable. A) It is not best practice. B) There are alternatives we've already mentioned, such as /var/tmp or mounting a standard filesystem for your non-temporary files. C) You have not demonstrated via this forum that you have sufficient knowledge, skill, or self-reliance to manage the customization and any unforeseen operational impacts that may arise.

You need to take a step back, & consider better alternatives. You also need to identify the core problem.
I have no idea how big this hard drive is, but allocating 19GB to a partition for /tmp seems inordinately large. Maybe this comes from the automatic partitioning the installer chose, or maybe this comes from choices you manually made. Section 4.6.4 of the FAQ will give some ideas to how much space should be allocated, however, there can be a huge debate over what size any particular partition needs to be. The true answer comes with identifying usage patterns & adjust sizes in the next fresh install to fit the use of the system, but a recommendation jggimi frequently makes is to just make one large partition for the entire system until you have a better idea as to how much space needs to be allocated for multiple partitions.
/tmp should not be used for storage. Yes, the eradication of /tmp at each boot-up can be changed, but the use case this addresses is situations where either erasing consumes too much time, or erasing adversely affects the lifetime of the media. I can only guess that you don't have space elsewhere for whatever you are storing, & so you have starting using /tmp as a poor, but expedient substitute.
The simple fact is that you need to back up your files & do a fresh install, changing the partition sizes to either one huge partition, or adjust the sizes to better values until you have a better perspective as to that the new adjustment needs to be.
Don't think you are going to get this right in one pass. You won't. Nobody does. But you should be developing practices where you can back up & start again with lessening pain. As an anecdote, I have spent weekends where I have done nothing but reinstall again & again, but usually this has been to tweak install.site scripts which addresses both partition sizes & disaster plans.
As a final comment & suggestion, if you don't like the idea of simply creating one huge partition, another alternative is to not allocate all space -- especially is the drive is large in size. As denta is suggesting, leaving free space available gives you the ability to add partitions later. If all the space on a drive is allocated, there is no room for growth.
From my experience, the size of /usr/ports/pobj is far more important when it comes to building packages.
I'll stand by my earlier statement. You are asking the
wrong question. Ask, instead, what knowledge and skill sets you will need in order to reconfigure your partitions without reinstalling. I recommend attempting it, because you may learn something.
An imaginary converstaion between daemonfowl and jggimi
Friend daemonfowl, you often ask wonderful, insightful questions, but then you drop the discussion and do not seem interested in pursuing the details.
Since you haven't asked, I don't expect you to. So, rather than going through the cycle again on yet another general question, I imagined what it might be like if you had actually asked, this time.
A: Of course. There are special considerations for the root partition, "/", and the /usr partition. For other partitions, it's easy enough to back up, reconfigure, and restore.
Q: What procedure do you recommend for backup/restore and reconfiguration?
A: I prefer dump(8) and restore(8) to other backup/restore tools with FFS partitions, because there are no restrictions on file types or file name lengths as can happen with tar(1), cpio(1), and tools like pax(1) which use them. There are backup and restore tools in the ports tree, but they require a re-installed, fully functional system to restore to, and I prefer the simplicity of being able to use a tool in the RAMDISK kernel for bare-metal restores. The restore(8) program is included in the RAMDISK kernel though I do need to mount a small /tmp in order to use it. As for reconfiguration, I just use disklabel(8). On a few rare occasions I've been able to take advantage of growfs(8) to increase the size of an FFS partition.
Q: I've never used dump, it looks pretty complicated from the man page.
A: It can be a little complex, because it is so versatile. There are examples of the dump and restore commands when used with tape in FAQ 14.10. I've only used these tools when dumping directly to disk or being piped to other tools -- gzip(1) for compression, ssh(1) or nc(1) for network dumps, or some combination. I often use dump/restore piped together when replicating directories or filesystems. For example, "cd /new/location; dump -0af - /old/location | restore -rf -" will replicate the files hierarchy /old/location to /new/location. The "-" file is standard output for dump, and standard input for restore.
Q: Tell me about the partitions with special considerations?
A: The /usr partition contains applications and libraries -- /usr/bin and /usr/lib. Your /usr/local hierarchy might be in its own filesystem, but it too has the same considerations. You don't want to be dependent on anything in those directories while you are moving them, which might include times when they are not available. You are limited, therefore, to using tools within the root filesystem: /bin, /sbin. You need to boot into single user mode, so that no applications dependent on /usr (or /usr/local) are running. How you get there varies by architecture (e.g.: "-s" at the boot> prompt for i386 and amd64). You can also signal init(8) to enter single user mode. Manipulating the root filesystem is more complicated still.
Q: What would I need to do for the root filesystem?
A: You would need to use the shell from the RAMDISK kernel, as the root directory must be unmounted to be manipulated. The tools there are fewer -- growfs isn't included in the RAMDISK image. But newfs(8) and restore(8) are, though as I mentioned above, you'll need to mount a partition to be used as /tmp to use restore(8). In addition, you will need to reinstall boot blocks, and that too will vary depending upon the architecture. The i386, amd64, and sparc architectures (at least) have an installboot(8) program.
Q: Any recommendations before I begin?
A: Yes. Back up your system before beginning. Really. Even if you have sufficient disk space on your currently attached drive(s) to move things around, it's easy to make a mistake. If you don't have a backup, you won't have anything to restore.
Thank you for tuning in for this week's episode of ... The Twilight Zone.

Royals acquire INF Bonifacio from Blue Jays
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals made their second move in less than a week to shore up their ailing infield. Now, it's up to Emilio Bonifacio to prove he can handle the job.
The Royals acquired the versatile Bonifacio from the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday for cash or a player to be named. He'll join infielder Jamey Carroll, acquired Sunday from the Twins in a similar deal, in trying to keep the banged-up Royals in playoff contention.
Third baseman Mike Moustakas remained sidelined by a strained left calf for Wednesday's game against the Marlins. Fellow infielder Miguel Tejada, who had been playing regularly at second and third base, went on the disabled list Sunday with a strained right calf.
Outfielder Lorenzo Cain is also on the DL after straining his left oblique last Friday.
"We don't think Moose is going to be out a long time," Royals manager Ned Yost said, "but with Miggy being out, Moose being out, Cain being out, we've got another guy to play the outfield if we need it, another guy that can play anywhere in the infield."
Tejada was transferred to the 60-day DL to clear space on the 40-man roster for Bonifacio, who will likely join the Royals for the opener of their five-game set Thursday in Detroit.
The Royals will have to make a move to their 25-man roster at that time.
Bonifacio, whose younger brother Jorge is in the Royals' minor league system, was traded to the Blue Jays from the Marlins last offseason. He was hitting just .218 with three homers and 12 stolen bases, but is valuable given his ability to play the infield and outfield.
"I think we expected him to be a better player, a better player overall," Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopolous said. "I think there's no doubt about that, we thought we'd get more out of him offensively, defensively, all of it. That didn't happen."
The Royals had streaked into playoff contention for the first time in a decade by ripping off 17 wins in 20 games before two straight losses to the Marlins. That surge had energized a fan base that's grown weary of losing, and prompted general manager Dayton Moore to start maneuvering his team for a postseason push for the first time in his tenure in Kansas City.
That's a big reason why he traded for power-hitting outfielder Justin Maxwell at the July 31 trade deadline, and why Moore made the move for Carroll last Sunday. But the trade for Bonifacio is also a reaction to injuries and a perilous lack of quality depth.
Infielders Elliot Johnson and Chris Getz have both struggled to perform.
"I've been through this, many, many times. It's all part of the game," Yost said of the sudden rash of injuries. "You have to be able to deal with it. You can't sit back and complain about it, worry about it — 'Woe is me. Why is this happening?'
"You deal with it and move on," he added. "We feel like we've got enough depth to cover it. None of these injuries are long-term injuries, knock on wood, but just little nicks and dings."

If you've ever gotten a splinter or had sand in your eye, you've had experience with a foreign body. A foreign body is something that is stuck inside you but isn't supposed to be there. You may inhale or swallow a foreign body, or you may get one from an injury to almost any part of your body. Foreign bodies are more common in small children, who sometimes stick things in their mouths, ears, and noses.
Some foreign bodies, like a small splinter, do not cause serious harm. Inhaled or swallowed foreign bodies may cause choking or bowel obstruction and may require medical care.

Myositis means inflammation of the muscles that you use to move your body. An injury, infection, or autoimmune disease can cause it. Two specific kinds are polymyositis and dermatomyositis. Polymyositis causes muscle weakness, usually in the muscles closest to the trunk of your body. Dermatomyositis causes muscle weakness, plus a skin rash.
Other symptoms of myositis may include
- Fatigue after walking or standing
- Tripping or falling
- Trouble swallowing or breathing
Doctors may use a physical exam, lab tests, imaging tests and a muscle biopsy to diagnose myositis. There is no cure for these diseases, but you can treat the symptoms. Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are first treated with high doses of a corticosteroid. Other options include medications, physical therapy, exercise, heat therapy, assistive devices, and rest.

This would actually be an ingenious marketing scheme — that is, it would be ingenious if horses were people. It takes an exceptionally gentle horsie to not crack those delicate iPad screens with its hooves, and more cracked screens equals more cash money for Apple because, as well know, horses can't talk and so would never be able to take advantage of their generous warranties. Don't think about it too much — this is business, after all. Rumor has it that Apple may already be hard at work on a special edition version of the horsepad, but all they're saying about it is that the case is made entirely of diamonds and the screen is a gelatinous sheet composed of the congealed tears of manatees, so my best guess is that this strange new device is for unicorns.

Posted 5.6.2013
Case Western Reserve University is proud to appoint Professor Mark H. Taylor, PhD, CPA, to a five-year term as the Andrew D. Braden Professor of Accounting and Auditing.
This endowed chair is named after Andrew Braden (1916-2003) who taught accountancy at CWRU for more than 40 years. During his lifetime, "Andy" Braden obtained a BA in education from Kent State and an MBA from Western Reserve University, served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, and later worked at Ernst & Ernst (now Ernst & Young). Braden joined the faculty at Western Reserve in 1946 and served over the course of his career as director of the BS in Accounting and of the MBA program, and as assistant dean. Following his own motto, "Busy people are happy people," Braden maintained a dynamic professional life as a CPA, consultant, speaker and expert trainer. Braden also contributed his practical and academic expertise to the body of accountancy knowledge in his publications including, notably, several articles on techniques for teaching accounting and co-authorship (with Robert G. Allyn) of the widely used textbook Accounting Principles (1963).
Since 2009, Taylor has been an esteemed and beloved professor of accountancy at the Weatherhead School of Management where he received the Excellence in Teaching Award in 2011. His scholarship, too, has garnered accolades; most recently, Taylor's work on corporate governance and auditing has been recognized by the Center for Audit Quality (CAQ) in Washington, D.C. The CAQ awarded research funding to Taylor and Assistant Professor of Accountancy Yi-Jing Wu, PhD, CPA, along with a colleague at Brigham Young University, for their project entitled "Learning More about Auditing Estimates Including Fair Value Measurements." Among his many other accomplishments is Taylor's recent appointment as vice president of academics for the auditing section of the American Accounting Association (AAA), the premier organization for accounting professionals and scholars.
The Weatherhead community congratulates Mark Taylor, PhD, CPA, Andrew D. Braden Professor of Accounting and Auditing!
History of the Endowment
Building the endowment to support the Braden Professorship has been an honor for those involved. Edward Hemmelgarn, MBA '80, WRC '76, and his wife Janice Hammond, PhD, GRS '98, WRC '75, issued a generous $325,000 challenge grant to remember and honor Braden. It also raised awareness and support for the endowed chair, the first for accountancy department, inspiring contributions from hundreds of Weatherhead alumni and friends of Braden. Gary Previts, PhD, CPA, Distinguished University Professor, E. Mandell de Windt Professor of Leadership and Enterprise Development, and Chair and Professor of Accountancy; and Philip J. (Chip) Bell, WRC '87, of Accenture, continue to lead fundraising efforts to build the endowment to $1.5 million to fully support the professorship.
Thanks to the generosity of many individuals and companies, the $1 million milestone was reached in December 2012. You can make a gift by accessing our support website or contact Laura Desmond, associate dean of external affairs, at 216.368.2787.

Monday Morning Offering - 87
Image: George Mendoza
Good morning, good God!
Every Sunday, Lord, my parish prays:
For a spirit of generosity in the hearts of us
who have more than we need...
I have so much more than I need, Lord!
I have too much stuff...
I have too many things...
I collect things I don't need...
I have too many clothes
(too many that fit and too many that don't fit)...
I have too much money...
Well, the money thing helps me define this, Lord:
it's not so much that I have a lot of money -
I don't -
but when I look around the world, I know
I have more than I need...
That's the hard question, Lord:
how much of anything do I really need...?
When I think about that
I realize I have more than I need...
I'm not going to offer you all my stuff, Lord -
you don't need it or want it!
But I want to offer for your mercy and healing:
my desire to have more and more...
my desire to have more than I need...
my desire for collecting things
- for the sake collecting them...
my desire to have more for more's sake...
my desire to have more than others have...
my desire to buy, to have and to own
the fastest, the newest, the sleekest - whatever!
I offer for your mercy and healing
my need to have:
full shelves, full closets, full bank accounts,
full boxes of whatever I want a lot of...
I offer for your mercy and healing
my tendency to stuff the empty places in my heart
with junk, with filler, with so much less
than those places deserve,
so much less than I deserve
and so much less than you deserve, Lord...
I offer you my complicity
in filling my heart with anything other
than the lasting treasures my heart longs for...
Help me to simplify my life this Lent, Lord...
Help me to give up, give away,
clean out, cast off, go without,
do without, strip away,
and lighten the load:
to empty my heart of anything
that does not fill it
as it deserves to be filled,
as it longs to be filled...
And make me generous, Lord, in sharing and giving to others
whatever I have for which they have
a greater need...
For a spirit of generosity in my life,
in which I have more than I need,
I pray to the Lord...
Such is my heart's offering this morning, Lord
and through this day and the night
and the week ahead...

Lord, help me to know what others' need and what I have that can fulfill those needs, both in physical things and also in, sometimes more subtle and abstract, emotional things. Help me to know the good and helpful thing to do and say.
Good morning to you Concord Pastor.... Simplify!!!ReplyDelete

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Tusculum College will host 14 collegiate men's golf teams at the 16th annual Tusculum Invitational this weekend at Link Hills Country Club.
The first round begins at 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning, followed by Sunday's final round which is slated to tee off at 8 a.m. on the 6,733-yard lay-out.
The Pioneers have won this event four times, including the most recent in 2006 when Tusculum fired a tournament record 579 over the two-day event. Tusculum has recorded one tournament win and three runner-up finishes so far this year. The Pioneers won the TC Fall Classic, led by three-time classic medalist Chase Carroll. Carroll, a senior from Knoxville, leads Tusculum with his 71.08 stroke average and has won medalist honors three times in events played at Link Hills, but never the Tusculum Invitational.
Darren Christie, a senior from Paisley, Scotland, has won the 2007 TC Invitational title with his tournament record 70-70=140 (-2). Christie is second on the team with his 74.31 scoring average, winning the Anderson Invitational to open the 2008-09 campaign.
Three other past champions will be returning to Greeneville to take a shot at the title.
Grand Valley State University, who won the 2002 and 2007 titles has enjoyed a solid season this year. The Lakers captured the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title in October along with the Northern Michigan Invitational crown to open the season. GVSU has already finished in the top four in all seven of its events this year.
Coker College won the 2005 invitational crown and is currently ranked No. 22 in NCAA Division II. The Cobras have finished in the top five in all four events this year so far.
Walters State College also returns as the Senators won the inaugural even in 1994.
This year's tournament field will include South Atlantic Conference members Brevard College, Lenoir-Rhyne University, Lincoln Memorial University and Mars Hill College. Other NCAA Division II schools include: Limestone College Tiffin University and the University of Montevallo. Other participants include: Spartanburg Methodist, USC Lancaster and Tri-County Technical College.
The previous three TC Invitational medalists have come from the Tusculum including Nick Kinzer (2006), Darren Christie (2007) and Chris Wynne (2008). In all, six Pioneers have captured the individual title at this event.
Admission to the 36-hole tournament is free and open to the public.

(FOX19) - It appears the U.S. won't be defaulting on its debt after all, at least not until February 2014 when this deal expires and the political wrangling starts all over again.
While there appears to be universal agreement that a default on our nation's debt would have damaged the country's fiscal reputation abroad, there remains debate over exactly how bad things might have gotten had the clock struck midnight without an agreement.
Here's a dire default forecast from democratic Senator Chuck Schumer: "The debt ceiling is such a calamitous possibility that you could go into a recession or even a depression worse than Lehman Brothers and AIG in 2008."
This cautionary decree came courtesy of Senator Harry Reid who said: "In addition to America's reputation in the world, the bedrock of the global economy is at stake."
President Obama pulled no punches when he said; "A decision to actually go through with it, to actually permit default, according to many CEOs and economists, would be - and I'm quoting here - 'insane, catastrophic, chaos.'"
Then there's republican Senator Rand Paul whose tone was not nearly as theatrical: "I think it's not a good idea to go through the debt ceiling deadline."
Rand Paul is not only a leader within his own party, he's also a presumptive presidential candidate. If a U.S. debt default would be as disastrous as the democrats would have us believe, why wouldn't Paul choose to use stronger language? Maybe because nobody really knows what might happen if the U.S. does default.
For an example, look no further than the nation's three major credit rating agencies who couldn't agree on a potential outcome. In the days leading up to the debt ceiling deadline, both Fitch and Standard and Poors warned that they "might" downgrade the U.S. credit rating if a deal wasn't reached, but not Moody's who said: "We believe the government would continue to pay interest and principle on its debt even in the event that the debt limit is not raised," and also said, "There is no direct connection between the debt limit and a default."
If there's a lesson to be learned from all this, maybe it's to tune out the rhetoric next time and take a let's wait and see approach. Then again, wouldn't it be nice if we never have to face a debt ceiling deadline again?

Both Major Parties Are In 'Vigorous' Denial About The Need For Copyright & Patent Reform
from the meaning-they-want-to-please-legacy-funders dept
Tim Lee has a perceptive piece (as per usual) noting that both party platforms appear to be in denial about the need for copyright and patent reform. He also mocks how both talk about "vigorous" enforcement of certain laws when they relate to the internet (porn for the Rs and copyright for the Ds).
But the reality is that neither party is willing to take a really principled stand on the need to reform copyright and patent laws in the name of freedom and innovation. That's not surprising, really. Doing so in either party would upset some of the "old guard" who tend to donate a lot of money to political campaigns. But, from the viewpoint of what really matters when it comes to internet freedom and innovation, it's yet another sign that the major parties don't want to deal with reality.

Hi Group,
I just returned from the local camera repair shop where I tried to get one of my 500RG heads repaired. They said the parts were no longer available. Here is what it is doing. It seems to charge to the point I can seen the little charge light on the back flashing indicating it is charged. The problem is it won't discharge either by pressing the button on top or via a camera connection. My other flash head works fine. Any ideas on what needs to be repaired?
By the way, I got some really good advice from all of you regarding the battery pack. The 8 D cells are working great.

Sounds like the xenon flash tube may have sprung a leak and is defective. The fact that the charge light illuminates indicates the electronics and capacitors are probably ok. When you press the test button or trigger the flash with your shutter, a trigger voltage is applied to the tube, causing it to conduct, discharging the capacitors through the xenon-gas-filled tube. If the xenon gas has leaked, it won't flash. Fred.

Hi Fred,
Thanks for your responce. Any chance I could replace the tube you mentioned in your answer? Thanks again for your comments.

Fred is right, it does appear that the flash tube (FT-1) may be defunct, sometimes it springs a leak and loses the xenon gas and also sometimes the ends of the glass tube might appear blackened indicating a non functioning lamp.
The neon indicator light flickers when the capacitors reach a certain voltage level needed to trigger the flash tube, the trigger levels vary based on the multi level pushbutton switches on the upper capacitor pack which connects to the lower battery pack (AC, HV or RG), so it appears that everything else is working properly.
If you are knowledgeable with electronics and handy with a soldering iron then you might consider replacing the flash tube (FT-1), and what I found interesting from working on these units is that the flash tube (FT-1) for the "older" Strobomatic 500 flash head and the "newer" Strob 500 flash head, while having differences in the parts layout and schematics, both use the same flash tube, and here is where I come to the point about this subject is that the less expensive Strob 250 flash head also uses the same flash tube, which is a Graflex Part Number 40765P1, Lamp, Flash (FT-1).
Now, of course you can no longer order these parts from any appreciable stock, but what I was going to suggest is to keep an eye out for an inexpensive Strob 250 flash head (from various sources) and use the flash tube from it to solder into your Strob 500 flash head.
The flash tube has three leads: anode, cathode and the trigger transformer lead, so one must be careful to align these leads correctly on the printed circuit board.
Hope this helps and good luck.

I replaced the tube in a Heiland 64B Strobonar with a tube from this site:
It works.....wasn't a good fit...and, frankly, it hasn't been given much testing, so I don't know how long the tube will last in the long run. I don't necessarily recommend this if you want an exact replacement, but it was cheap and fun to make the repair. I chose a tube that would trigger with the trigger voltage of the 64B. Be advised: the charge on the large capacitors can be lethal. This charge is present at the anode of the xenon tube. The tube conducts and flashes when the trigger voltage is applied to the trigger connection on the tube. The trigger voltage ionizes the gas in the tube, causing it to conduct. Be also advised that the capacitors can hold a charge for quite a while. If you're not familiar with this type of circuitry, be very careful. The charge on the trigger capacitor may also be enough to give you quite a jolt.

Thanks Fred & graflite, what great answers. Replacing the tube is probably a bit over my head as I couldn't get the circuit board apart just now even after removing all the screws. Oh well, any idea where to buy a 500RG flash head or another brand that would work off the cords or battery pack?
Thanks again guys, you've been great!

Fred is right about the capacitors, I'm so used to working with them that I often fail to mention the danger of a charged capacitor to those less familiar with them.
Some people use an insulated (hopefully) screwdriver to discharge the capacitor, which I don't like to do because it can damage the capacitor, the terminals and/or the screwdriver, plus it scares the heck out of my cat, instead I prefer to use a high wattage resistor carefully bridged between the positive and negative terminals and then check the capacitor afterwards with a voltmeter.
The RG that you refer to in your post denotes the lower portion of the battery pack which came in three versions, and not the actual flash head, as the 500 flash head that came with either the Strob 500 (or Strobomatic 500) will work with any of the battery pack's as shown below:
AC battery pack = AC/DC Transformer using an AC line cord.
HV battery pack = 1 Carbon Zinc Battery #496 450 VDC.
RG battery pack = 8 D size Ni-Cad Batteries (total > 9.6 VDC).
The RG base is the best for field shots and is the most versatile of the three bases, while the AC base is good for studio shots, and finally the HV base is pretty much useless now as the #496 battery is not made anymore.
Try e-b*y, as from time to time a 500 flash head will appear, and this seems to be your best bet, but then there is no guarantee that it will work unless the seller is able to test it first with a working battery pack, so with anything you take a chance without a money back guarantee.

Good information to have if you need an electronic flash repaired, Paul is the only Norman repair representative for Norman flashes in Colorado and is excellent with not only Norman flashes, but as Al pointed out, also with the older Graflex electronic flash units.
The Norman service center web page (at the bottom) has a state by state listing of other repair centers that might be closer or more convenient to you and with a phone call, letter or e-mail could advise you as to whether they can repair the Graflex units also.
Here is the Norman service center listings web page:

In March 2012, Lehman College joined UNITY, a coalition of minority journalists, to host an event with industry professionals at the Multimedia Center. During this event, Lehman College students, faculty and staff had the opportunity to network with these professionals. Guests were treated to guided tours of the MMC, food and cocktails, and individualized presentations.
Our studio and control rooms were opened, with students acting as presenters to describe and highlight our productions. In our post-production area, guests were treated to clips of the shows produced in the MMC, with students staffing each room to answer questions. Presentations included The Bronx Journal, Inside Lehman, EdCast, Conversations, and The Lehman College Jazz Festival. We also featured clips from Open 2.0, Open World, and Perspectives, programs produced in our studio by BronxNet Television.
All of these shows have students working in some capacity, (e.g. crew, directors, producers and hosts) which allows them to gain valuable real-world experience they can apply to their careers. Our music classroom featured our Scoring for Film class and projects produced by Michael Bacon's students. Monitors located around the facility displayed photos taken by students in the Photojournalism class and work done for the Bronx Journal Website.
We were thrilled to be able to exhibit our facility to alumni and the many industry professionals that attended, but even more important was the opportunity to demonstrate the work of our students and enable them to interact with industry professionals.
The evening was a huge success, with students being offered the opportunity to join the association, and everyone being able to experience Lehman's fantastic Multimedia Center and how it allows students to develop their skills as they embark on their careers.

text: g5jamz 1,319 Report post Posted April 2, 2013 http://www.cbsnews.c...eating-scandal/ (CBS News) Thirty-five Atlanta educators are expected to surrender Tuesday after being indicted in the biggest alleged cheating scandal involving standardized testing in American history. The list of suspects includes everyone from the former superintendent to principals and teachers. All 35 of those educators have until noon on Tuesday to turn themselves in for booking. At least two of them have already showed up for processing. Investigators say Atlanta's school district orchestrated a culture of cheating to benefit those at the top. Nearly 200 educators admitted to taking part in the massive scandal: they tampered with students' standardized tests and corrected answers to inflate scores. Some teachers had pizza parties to erase wrong answers and circle in the right ones. One principal allegedly handled altered tests wearing gloves to avoid leaving her fingerprints. At one middle school, 86 percent of eighth-graders scored proficient in math, compared to 24 percent the year before. Prosecutors say that progress was a criminal mirage. "The four principle crimes that are charged in the indictment are the statements and writings, false swearings, theft by taking, and influencing witnesses," Fulton County District Attorney Paul L. Howard, Jr. said. Beverly Hall is Atlanta's retired school superintendent. Her system's turnaround won her national fame, awards, and more than $500,000 in performance bonuses. But investigators say she pressured teachers and principals to cheat, and punished those who refused. Hall, among those indicted, has denied the charges. A grand jury recommended her bail be set at $7.5 million. Promoting ignorance... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ship Named After Black Naval Officerby GDN Shared Post November 15, 2010
The USS Gravely, an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, will be commissioned Nov. 20 in Wilmington, NC, becoming first U.S. Navy ship to be named in honor of an African-American commissioned Naval officer.
Vice Admiral Samuel Lee Gravely Jr. Gravely was the first African-American to serve aboard a fighting ship as an officer, the first to command a U.S. Navy ship, the first to serve as a fleet commander and the first to become an admiral.
Gravely was born in Richmond, VA, on June 4, 1922. He enlisted in the Naval Reserves in1942 and was recalled to active duty in 1949. He served his initial assignment in the Washington, DC area, recruiting African Americans into the Navy.
He went on to a have a successful career that lasted 38 years. His personal motto was: "Education, motivation and perseverance are a formula for success."
Gravely's widow, Alma Bernice Clark Gravely, is the sponsor of the ship, the PCU Gravely.
"He had to go through a lot," she said. "I think inside of him, he would be beaming, and he would feel so honored and so humble. But on the outside, I think he'd be saying: 'You mean you're going to name a ship after me?'"
Gravely died in 2004.
The PCU Gravely is more than 509 feet in length with a beam of 66 feet. It draws 31 feet of water and has a top speed of more than 30 knots. After joining the fleet with the name USS Gravely, it will have a complement of 380 enlisted men and officers.
The ship will be capable of simultaneously fighting air, surface and subsurface battles. It contains offensive and defensive weapons designed to support maritime military needs well into the 21st century.

Mila Kunis Smacks Down a Justin Timberlake-Bullying Reporter – in Russian! [VIDEO]
During a press junket for the Russian premiere of 'Friends With Benefits' a reporter, speaking in Russian, asked Justin Timberlake why he was acting, instead of just focusing on his music career.
While Timberlake waited for the translation to come through over his earpiece, costar Mila Kunis, who lived in a Russian-speaking part of Ukraine until she was seven, used her first language to snap back at the reporter.
"Why movies? Why not?" Kunis retorted in Russian, much to the delight of the other reporters and a baffled Timberlake. "What kind of question is that? Why are you here?"

Florida's imperiled species are fish and wildlife species that meet criteria to be listed as federally endangered, federally threatened, state threatened or Species of Special Concern. The current listing status of all of Florida's federal and state listed species is found in Florida's Endangered and Threatened Species List . While the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has primary responsibility for Florida species that are federally endangered or threatened, like the sand skink or the Florida scrub-jay, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) works in partnership with USFWS to help conserve these species.
Some listed and non-listed species are also considered managed species because of the well-developed programs that address their conservation, management or recovery, such as manatees, panthers, and sea turtles. The FWC has individual management plans for imperiled species such as the gopher tortoise as well as a comprehensive Imperiled Species Management Plan for 57 state listed species.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A few hours before another snowstorm was set to hit New England on Wednesday afternoon, MIT men's tennis faced Bates College in the J.B. Carr Tennis Bubble, walking away with a 6-3 win. The undefeated Engineers increased their streak to 7-0, the longest they have remained unbeaten in the past few seasons. The Bearcats' record fell to 2-3.
The match got off to a rocky start when juniors Edwin Zhang (Falls Church, Va.) and Curtis Wu (Yorba Linda, Calif.) fell 8-1 to Pierre Planche and Timmy Berg in the No. 1 position of doubles and seniors Matthew Skalak (Croton-on Hudson, N.Y.) and Larry Pang (Torrance, Calif.) were defeated by Henry Lee and Matt Bettles, 8-6, in the second spot. Sophomore Eugene Oh (Alparetta, Ga.) and freshman Kevin Wang (Havertown, Pa.) picked up an 8-5 win at No. 3 spot against Ben Bogard and Dylan Reffe to end doubles.
Trailing 2-1 going into singles, the Engineers soon took over the lead with Zhang's win over Bettles, 6-4, 6-2 in the top spot, followed by a well-earned win by Pang at No. 2. He lost the first set to Berg, 7-6, but came from behind to win the next one, 7-6, and clinched the win with a 6-4 victory in the final set. Wang also played three close sets, losing the first one to Planche, 6-4, before winning the final two, 6-4, 6-4 at No. 3.
Continuing singles action, Oh came away with a 6-1, 7-5 win over Henry Lee at No. 4. Bates avoided the singles sweep when Ben Bogard took a 6-2, 7-5 win over Wu in the fifth position. Skalak had an easy 6-2, 6-1 victory over Andrew Salvador at No. 6 to end the day.
MIT returns to action on Saturday, March 9 when it hosts Baruch College at 1:00 p.m.

At the recent GreenCo Summit 2016, Gold certification was granted to GVK´s Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL). Indeed, Terminal 2 (T2) has been meticulously planned in accordance with green building guidelines. To make the green dream come true, plans were executed right from the construction stage to address key issues such as soil erosion, waterway sedimentation and airborne dust generation by providing barricading, sprinkling water arrangement and recharge pits. Site imperviousness pre and post development of the project was maintained at 65 per cent by collection of storm water from the roof and site through recharge pits and storage tanks. Further, water conservation, waste management, control of greenhouse gas emissions, energy management (efficiency and renewable energy), green supply chain, material conservation, recycling and other green initiatives have been undertaken. MIAL explains to CW how these have been implemented and achieved...
Orientation of the building: T2 boasts of a large, free-flowing, X-shaped structure where the aircrafts dock at the terminal. In the north, under the large mega roof, passenger processing takes place. The building is designed to minimise heat gain and there is abundant natural light and exterior view. The roof has skylights that provide added natural light in the vast check-in halls.
Sustainable features: Sustainability efforts at T2 are a continuous process and, hence, constant innovation is required at every level and phase of the process.
Here are some key initiatives:
Air handling: Indoor air quality is maintained by controlling chemicals and pollutants through MERV 13 filters in air-handling units and low-VOC compliant paints, adhesives, carpet and composite wood.
Thermal insulation: The airport uses high-value (R30) thermal insulation in the roof to prevent heat gain. The heat island effect is reduced by providing 100 per cent underground car parking to minimise impact on microclimate, human and wildlife habitat. High-performance glazing materials prevent heat gain and provide quiet interiors. The terminal at MIAL is designed to maximise the use of natural light. The central lobbies are provided with open-glass, heat-reflector ceilings and walls to utilise maximum sunlight while inhibiting maximum heat. This helps curtail air-conditioning load during daylight.
Efficient fixtures: Through MIAL´s constant efforts, T2 achieves around 23 per cent improvement in energy consumption over the ASHRAE building baseline with high-performance insulated glass to reduce solar exposure. The terminal has daylight in around 51 per cent of regularly occupied space and features building management system monitoring with standalone control system interface with power monitoring to create a truly energy-efficient building. In addition, other features such as day-lighting controls have been installed to reduce energy consumption.
Fixtures for energy conservation: Over 300 light bulbs have been replaced with 45-W LED bulbs, resulting in lowered perimeter lighting energy consumption by 40 per cent. Sun pipe lighting has been installed in many office areas where the roof is open to the sky. Also, the airport´s apron is the first-of-its-kind in Asia to be completely lit with LED high-mast lighting.
Grey water: For irrigation, potable water usage is reduced by 50 per cent, calculated from baseline per month with the highest evapo-transpiration rate by opting for shrubs and mixed vegetation. Water efficiency is achieved by providing 100 per cent makeup water to the cooling tower from the sewage treatment plant. Potable water usage is reduced by having 70 per cent recycled grey water and efficient plumbing fixtures such as low-flow urinals with sensors, WCs and faucets.
Recycling and storage bins: The project uses millwork material, which is 100 per cent FSC-certified wood to ensure that forestry practices are environmentally responsible. Waste management is done by providing recycling and storage bins with a main centralised collection point and salvaging non-hazardous construction and demolition debris.

The first development release of Syllable Server is available. It provides a text mode Linux environment, but also contains a preliminary graphical environment built on the framebuffer device, with DirectFB and SDL on top. The planned graphical environment from Syllable Desktop is not included yet. The installation procedure is short, but is still manual - and resembles the installation procedure for the old AtheOS. Included are tools such as a graphical web browser, a file manager and an editor. One thing Syllable Server is designed for is to function as a light-weight virtualisation platform for running other operating systems (or multiple instances of itself). The QEmu virtualisor/emulator is included, and the KQEmu Accelerator kernel module is integrated into the system. There's a screenshot of Syllable Server running on Syllable Desktop, installation and usage instructions, a torrent (preferred), and an installation package [.tar.7z].

Lowepro's well-designed camera bags have evolved into multi-tasking adventure bags that carry much more than just a camera and its accessories.
The new Nova Sport 35L AW holds a mother lode of gear. The weather-resistant shoulder bag measures about 16-by-11-by-12 inches, but weighs less than 3 pounds.
Inside, modular, adjustable foam-padded compartments organize up to two full-size cameras with attached zoom lenses, two to four additional lenses, flash units, a tablet or laptop (up to 13-inch diameter), a jacket and plenty more.
Storm flap closures, side-release buckles and a built-in all-weather drawstring cover protect against the elements, while loads of storage pockets, including stretch mesh side pockets keep key items handy.
Remove the Velcro partitions, and you have a roomy day bag — with space for a camera. Nova Sport 35L AW in slate gray or pepper red costs $110.
