What does he know of Linux who only Linux knows (asks Andrew Gregory)? Well, lots actually, but whatever your specialist subject it's always useful to take a step back and look again at what you know from a different angle. That's why Mike's look at OpenSolaris back in issue 79 is worth reading even now, despite the fact that free software has moved on so much in the intervening five years.
Stonehenge! Town, city of gleaming spires! They did stuff here… but nobody knows what!
Solaris doesn't get anything like the coverage afforded to Linux, but it's very similar under the skin. Like the BSDs and Apple's OS X, Solaris is a variant of the Unix operating system, so any knowledge you've picked up from using Linux will be applicable, with maybe a couple of tweaks, to Solaris. The similarities are obvious even at a glance: OpenSolaris by default comes with the Gnome desktop and many of the desktop applications included in a typical Linux distro.
The main technical differences are in the packaging and the filesystem, and if you're of a technical mind it's fascinating to take a tour of the file structure to see the decisions that the OpenSolaris team have taken. In some ways OpenSolaris has the edge here, as its smaller, more focussed development team has the power to make a sensible decision and stick to it, in contrast to the mess that has resulted from Linux's distributed development model.
But there's another side to the different development models that is entirely in Linux's favour. Because it has a much bigger community of developers and users, Linux has many more applications available for it than OpenSolaris. At the time of writing OpenSolaris had 3,794 packages available; Debian has over 29,000. And the ultimate reason for this, the thing that makes OpenSolaris so fascinating to look at, is the licence. Despite its name, OpenSolaris is distributed under the Common Development and Distribution licence (CDDL), a licence created by Sun Microsystems that, crucially, is incompatible with the GPL. This stymied community involvement in OpenSolaris to such an extent that it's now just a footnote in the OS annals. It's what Linux could have been, and its failure shows what an enormous success Linux has become thanks to the GPL, the community and its army of contributors.

On a related note, has the mag ever taken much of a look at any of the BSDs?

I remember an article on PCBSD a while back. I tried it because of the article. It was the first OS I ever tried with KDE 4.0 on board.

One man's opinion
I am a 47-year-old male from Seattle. I have listened to Leykis for over six years. He is entertainment, hardly an expert on social commentary. Last I heard, freedom of speech is still alive in this country, regardless of what Ari Fleischer thinks.
Breath of fresh air
I live in Southern California and have listened to Tom Leykis for 11 years. I am a sales rep and spend most of my day driving from customer to customer or on the freeway to and from my territory. Tom is truly a breath of fresh air on the radio. Anyone who takes what he says seriously is not all there.
Face the challenge
A sad but true fact of politics: There are legislators that are worried more about taking heat from constituents than taking a stand on reducing the state deficit.
Harbor residents deserve more
The proposed rate increases by CBJ docks and harbors are unfair. As currently proposed, the new fee structure raises electric rates 270 percent! Liveaboards and non-liveaboards will pay the same rate. A vessel using a 240-volt, 50- or 100-amp service pays the same price as a small vessel using a 20-amp service.
Shocked in L.A.
To me, happiness is driving home from work on a balmy January evening with the top down, listening to Tom Leykis on the radio.
Translation situation
Regarding the recent article in the Juneau Empire, "Shock jock on trial for emotional damages," I would like to correct Eric Kueffner, attorney for Alaska Broadcast Communications, licensee of KJNO, when he stated, "We paid them $100,000 to go away... It's a nuisance, but it's the price of doing business."
Commitment to excellence
"This is for the little people!" A common afterthought injected by some heralded celebrity as they hold aloft their gleaming Oscar. Or the story of the common man who, faced with an uncommon crisis, rises above his mediocre life status to do something heroic.
Fairness for home schooling
There are proposed regulations (Chapter 33 Special Schools, 4AAC 33.420 @state.ak.us) for statewide correspondence study programs that effect home-schooling families across the state of Alaska, nearing the implementation stage (March 4) without public hearings or the knowledge of many home school parents.
He grows on you
I am a 40-year-old female Tom Leykis listener in Los Angeles. I must admit when I first started listening to him several years ago, I though he was obnoxious at times.
Kudos for This Week
Thank you for including a weekly section in the newspaper for Arts & Entertainment. What a great addition to the Juneau Empire. I appreciate that you are highlighting local and visiting artists and the events around town.

SkyMail for the Public Safety Community
Author: Dan Starr, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, PDV
Copyright: Copyright 9-1-1 Magazine, Feature Content,
Date: 2011-02-28
Most people would agree that communications within a Police Department is critical to the daily and safe operation of any community. An unfortunate trend has caught on, though, perhaps in response to tight municipal budgets and officer layoffs.
"Many departments are attempting to reduce their radio communication by requiring their employees to communicate via written forms or by using in-vehicle laptop computers," noted Dan Starr, vice president of sales and marketing for Pacific DataVision, (PDV), a leader in advanced mobile messaging, documentation and voice communication solutions that increase driver safety while improving field-worker productivity.
Recognizing that a more effective and safe solution would significantly increase the speed and accuracy of communications from the field, PDV took the lead by creating an application called SkyMail, which allows police officers to quickly and wirelessly dictate, document, share a recorded message to either an email address or mobile phone, with no computer or typing necessary.
SkyMail works on any mobile phone and across all major U.S. cellular carriers. PDV provides an enhanced version of this service to Sprint Nextel under the NextMail® brand name.
"This is a far more valuable and safe solution for cash-strapped police and safety departments struggling with increased paperwork and reduced resources," said Starr. "By introducing a solution that allows verbal communications from an officer on the road into dispatch without the officer having type into their laptop allows the police to spend more time actively patrolling and engaged in more productive activities, not the least of which is to simply 'see and be seen' as a criminal deterrent. Officers are simply not as effective if they are parked on the side of the road because they're typing into a laptop instead of having their eyes up observing, and of course, being seen, which evidence has shown to clearly reduce traffic violations and other forms of crime."
Inbound communications with SkyMail
"With SkyMail," explained Starr, "the police officer selects a customizable subject line from their cellular phones contact list, pushes their send or call button, speaks the message, and then simply hangs up." The officers can preprogram customized subject lines into the phone, such as "Code Violation," shaving even more time off the process.
Other benefits of this service include:
- Ample time to leave a message – SkyMail offers up to 5 minutes to record an individual message
- Provisions for sender to take photos to attach to the communication as added proof or evidence of an incident
- Ability to add location reporting to the message which show the location and approximate street address where the message was recorded and the photos were taken.
The key to inbound messages is that it's as simple as selecting a subject line, pushing a button, and speaking message of up to 5 minutes that is recorded, time and date stamped, and sent to a specific recipient. For police officers, multiple recipients could include a dispatcher, community services officer, public works department or a detective.
"There are so many add-on benefits with SkyMail," said Starr. "One is that police officers and other city workers who utilize the app can safely and easily communicate back to headquarters without adding radio traffic and freeing up dispatch and 911 resources for critical real time communication. Further, if it is fast, easy and safe, they'll use it more often and actually increase communication from the field."
Starr said that examples of subject lines that officers can use for inbound non-emergency communications include:
- Situational Report
- Code Violation
- Accident Verbal Notes
- Obstructive Intersection
- Vandalism/Graffiti Report
- Community Service Report
- Public Works Request
- Crime Prevention Alert
"This is all possible without adding congestion to a busy radio system," he said. "Now, add an emergency event such as a tornado, hurricane, plane crash or natural disasters, and you have a tremendously easier way to communicate without adding to the radio congestion that's most common during emergencies, when lines become tied up almost immediately."
Outbound Communication with SkyMail
How can SkyMail actually increase communication out to the field officers, city workers and even off-duty police and city personnel? The application has two very effective forms of communication to the field. The first is for field workers who have the SkyMail on their handsets. SkyMail' s powerful Push to Voice Reply Text Messaging feature allows city workers to send text messages from any PC out to the field to as many as 50 SkyMail users at a time. The SkyMail recipient receives their text message and when safe to do so, reads the text message and simply pushes a button (Push to talk or green/send key on a regular cell phone).
The recorded voice message is then sent back to the original text message sender. Another significant benefit is that that field personnel can communicate without adding voice traffic to the radio system and without calling them on their cellular phones. Instead, the text message arrives and only when safe and legal to do so, they read the message and then speak their reply. Voice reply text messaging offers safer, faster and more detailed voice replies to individual or group text messages. By asking for a voice reply, the sender no longer has to wonder who read the message, but they also can receive voice replies without anyone having to wait on hold to speak to them.
Finally, outbound text messaging that allows for safe voice replies with a simple push of a button without requiring respondents to text a reply, a task against many city regulations and in fact illegal in many states. One additional major benefit of Push to Voice Reply Text Messaging is that all text messages and their recorded voice replies are archived. This feature makes future reference to field text messaging as well as all SkyMail messages easy to accomplish. This is becoming more important in light of changing Sunshine Laws and Freedom of Information Acts where text messaging is or may be required to be archived for public review.
The second valuable outbound communication tool of SkyMail is the Individual and Group Voice Messaging feature. This feature allows any SkyMail user to create a voice message from their mobile handset with a Customizable Subject Line and record a message of up to 5 minutes in length and have it instantly sent to an individual or group of up to 50 user's cellular phones, regardless of their carrier.
The recipient receives a text message notifying them they have a SkyMail message from so and so regarding a particular subject. Press send or call this number to hear your message. When the recipient calls the specific number they will hear the recorded voice message after which they will have a choice to press 1 to reply, press 2 to repeat the message, or to simply hang up. By pressing 1, they will be able to record a voice reply which will automatically be sent back to the original sender.
Some very powerful benefits of this SkyMail feature are that a user can record this group message from anywhere using their Sprint phone. They could ask a question of their entire staff, and all members would receive the message and be able to instantly reply to the message without any of them having to wait to speak to anyone or receive a voice mail. One simple message with up to 50 replies all within minutes. The sender of the message will also be able to receive notification when each person has listened to the message or if the sender prefers, they can log onto the secure SkyMail.com website and actually see who has not listened to the message and who did listen to it and when. Once again, the messages are all archived for future reference or review.
Examples of Outbound Public Safety Customizable Subject Lines include:
- Shift Commander announcements
- Public Safety Event
- Overtime or Shift Availability
- Vehicle Management Request
- Incident Update
- Off Duty Work Availability
"The SkyMail application simply allows police and other safety officers to work more efficiently," said Starr. They can keep their eye on a situation and respond quickly and safely with more detail than traditional texting. The messages are instantly scanned and prioritized, allowing for immediate action when necessary."

Rock Type
!!General Characteristics
Associated with strength and stability, the mineral bodies of the Rock type provide them with armor and encourage brute strength. Unsurprisingly a number of "naturally artifical" species can be found here, but it's also commonly noted that the revival of fossil pokemon also binds minerals to their cellular structure, boosting their already prodigious strength to incredible degrees. Most rocktypes fall into either 'sculpture' or 'armor' forms, being either mobile mineral forms that cannot breed normally, or "wearing" their rocks as natural armor. Very few Rock Types are actually pure Rock, mostly due to the difficulty in naturally forming sapient minerals, and even some of those that are are fossil type or, in the case of Regirock, possibly manmade.
With their strength and armor, Rock type pokemon may well be forces of nature for how easily they can brush through opposition. In the phsyical realm they are powerhouses, able to smash through trees and shrug off blows that could damage buildings. The sheer weight of their muscle can squash bug types, cripple flyers, shatter ice, and pound fire into the ground. Normal and Poison types struggle to get through their natural armor, flying tipes bounce off half the time, and fire type attacks wash around their stoney flesh.
However, brute strength does has its drawbacks. In a ranged environment Rock types tend to be sitting ducks. They struggle to land a hit on the mobile and precise Fighting types, who meanwhile hit their pressure points quite thoroughly. Ground and Steel types simply have more power from either pushing through the dirt or wearing metal, being able to "bully the bullies" as it were. Water and Grass types especially ruin the Rock type's armor, using their power to seep into the crevices and break apart the very thing that Rock Types love most. Consequently, rock types like barren areas.
Rock types almost exclusively have their namesake mineral deposits on the outer surface of their body, if they are not actually comprised of minerals themselves. They tend to be burly, thickset, and covered in browns and greys.
Rocks. With very little exception, rock types eat rocks.
The majority of Rock Types actually need outside assistance to breed, and must be cloned using a Ditto.

Saudi Health 2014 draws strong interest from local and international premier healthcare companies
Saudi Health Exhibition & Conferences 2014, the largest healthcare event in Saudi Arabia, continues to generate strong interest from leading healthcare companies in local, regional, and global markets, with more premier industry leaders expressing their plan to participate in this year's international show.
To date, nine major healthcare organizations have confirmed their sponsorship of the event including Rakaa Medical Company as the diamond sponsor and Siemens Saudi Arabia, Salehiya Medical, Dräger Saudi Arabia, Nawah Healthcare, Care and Planning for Hospital Co. Ltd., Mediserv-Medical Supplies and Services Co, GE Healthcare and Saudi German Hospitals as platinum sponsors. The exhibition will take place from 19-21 May 2014 at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center.
Held under the patronage of Saudi Ministry of Health and supported by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority as main partner and Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Council of Health Services and Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Humanitarian City as strategic partners, the 2nd Saudi Health Exhibition & Conferences is jointly organized by Riyadh Exhibitions Company (REC) and Informa Life Sciences Exhibitions.
More than 300 regional and international healthcare stakeholders, dealers, distributors, suppliers, and service providers will gather at the three-day event to showcase their products, latest technologies, and services to the growing KSA audience of healthcare professionals and service providers. It will also serve as a venue for the participants to learn, network, and create business opportunities.
Fahad Al Athel, Deputy General Manager, Riyadh Exhibitions Company, said: "We are expecting a larger number of participants this year with companies from more than 20 nations, including Canada, China, France, Germany, Korea, Pakistan, Taiwan, Turkey, UK, and the US, signing up for the show. Encouraged by the 30 per cent increase in participation over 2013's edition, the show is witnessing additional interest both from industry stakeholders and specialized visitors. Saudi Health Exhibition & Conferences has indeed solidified its reputation as the premier healthcare event across the Kingdom."
Simon Page, Managing Director, Informa Life Sciences Exhibitions, added: "We express our gratitude to leading local and international companies for recognizing the event's pivotal role in bolstering the Kingdom's healthcare industry. Sharing best practices and expertise with industry peers is essential to enhance the growth trajectory of the healthcare environment in Saudi Arabia which has been recognised by the Saudi MoH in their continuous support for this event. There are a wealth of learning and networking opportunities during the event to guide and help visitors achieve their business goals. Participating in this event will truly be a rewarding experience for them."
In addition, this year's show will feature nine CME-accredited conferences to highlight significant health issues in the Kingdom as well as the wider region. These topics include nursing, hospital management, medical laboratory, cardiology, technical management of radiology as well as the future of radiology in KSA, nuclear medicine, rehabilitation and the future of Saudi Arabia's healthcare sector.

Transformers USB Light
- Transformers USB light
- Autobot symbol shape
- Ideal for bedside table
- Powered through USB
- Includes 1.5m USB cable
More product info
"Autobots, transform and roll out!"
The Transformers franchise has delighted generations of children in its various incarnations. The epic war between the Autobots and the Decepticons was most recently depicted in the Michael Bay films featuring the human-like machines in stunning 3D. Now you can be part of the Autobots with this fantastic USB light.
This Transformers USB light has been made to look like the Autobot symbol that can be found on the 'good' Transformers led by Optimus Prime. Humans identify their mechanical allies via this symbol and it has become a pop culture symbol for many children and adults alike. This light has been brushed in dark silver that appears black when the light is turned on at night.
The light measures roughly 20 x 19 x 7 cm and is freestanding. The light works via USB port and comes included with a 1.5 metre URB cable that can plug into your computer or USB wall socket. The silver façade has been given a distressed metal look so it really replicates the film style. This light comes packaged in a fun gift box.
This would make a fantastic gift for anyone who is a fan of the Transformers franchise and would also make a fantastic night light or bedside table light.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – There were surprises all over Augusta National on Saturday.
In his first Masters, 20-year-old Jordan Spieth grabbed a share the lead with Bubba Watson heading into the final round. Fifty-year-old Miguel Angel Jimenez, who makes his Champions Tour debut next week, shot a tournament-low 66 and is tied for fifth.
But the biggest surprise came from the man who slipped on the green jacket 52 weeks ago.
Adam Scott started the day four shots off the lead, but he ballooned to a 4-over 76 to finish tied for 16th, six shots behind Spieth and Watson.
Scoring for the 78th Masters Tournament
Masters Tournament: Articles, videos and photos
"I just kind of compounded my mistakes early with a couple three-putts and got me off on the wrong foot today," Scott said. "And with conditions being so hard, when you're on the back foot, this is a very hard course to pull shots in."
Scott was 4 over after five holes, and he did well to play the final 13 holes in even par. A birdie on the par-5 eighth hole seemed to settle him some, but he gave it back with a bogey on No. 9.
Scott did not take advantage of either par 5s (Nos. 13 and 15) on the back nine and recorded 76 on a day when the scoring average was 73.82. He'll be paired with fellow Aussie Jason Day in the final round.
"If I can play a good front nine, anything can happen on the back," he said. "It would be fun to post a number and sit in the clubhouse and watch."

The students are part of the College Support Program for Students on the Autism Spectrum, a service of the Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center (DDDC) in New Brunswick. While the program has been a part of the university since 2009, it has undergone several recent changes from a new name and a new program coordinator to the addition of parent meetings and monthly social events.
"Students in the program who wanted to meet each other didn't really have many opportunities to do that, or to meet other peer mentors beyond the one that was assigned to them," said Pamela Lubbers, who has been coordinator for the College Support Program since June 2011.
Now, students and their mentors have the chance to do that through events hosted by campus groups, such as the Rutgers Empowering Disabilities' (RED) wheelchair race and a recent open mic fundraiser sponsored by PACT (Peer Awareness, Compassion, and Tolerance) for Autism. Event proceeds are donated to the DDDC, which marks its 40th anniversary this year.
The program serves students on the autism spectrum on several levels, from setting goals for academic achievement to teaching them how the Rutgers bus system works to providing a peer mentor for moral support.
At Rutgers, there are six students with Asperger's Syndrome – a mild form of autism characterized by social awkwardness that affects a person's ability to communicate effectively with others – enrolled in the College Support Program. The program is for matriculating Rutgers students and is fee-based, with the fee each semester paid by students' families or guardians.Max Skula, an engineering student who was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome as a toddler, said that one of the benefits of the program is being able to talk to his peer mentor Lindsey Lobe about "what I'm going through, what I feel what I'm anxious about, and things that other people might not be able to grasp."
The program comprises 11 peer mentors who meet weekly with Lubbers for training. The mentors can join the program as volunteers or for credit through a fieldwork course.
In the past, peer mentors worked purely on a volunteer basis, said Rita Gordon, director of Outreach Services at DDDC. But program coordinators saw an added value in offering course credit in learning how to be a mentor, and they began to offer it as an option in fall 2011. They also began recruiting peer mentors from the pool of RED and PACT members.
"Social interaction is very difficult for most of our students," Lubbers said. "So if maybe a student is interested in a club or activity, a peer mentor would say, 'I'm happy to go to that first meeting with you.' "
For Skula, participating in the program allows him to pursue his goals and still get help in the areas he needs it most. For instance, he wanted to pledge some academic fraternities this semester and he turned to Lubbers and Lobe for support.
"I didn't get into the fraternities, but if it wasn't for them I probably wouldn't have had the courage to go in and pledge," said Skula, who is from West Windsor.
Skula and Lobe meet weekly, usually to get something to eat and talk. Jessica Kirsch, a psychology major and peer mentor in the program, sometimes joins them as well.
While the time spent together has been extremely useful to Skula, he's not the only one benefiting. The peer mentors benefit on both a personal level and a professional level.
"I have always wanted to go into a career that works with people with special needs or disabilities," Kirsch said. "It's different from what other schools might have, so I think it makes you really stand out in the realm of applying for jobs and going to graduate school."
Lobe, who is also a psychology major, agreed that mentoring through the program helps with leadership and role model skills, which help when you're looking for a job.
Families of children and young adults on the autism spectrum – and the programs that support them – have made headlines recently as the American Psychiatric Association announced last month that it had proposed new diagnostic criteria for autism and autism spectrum disorders.
The association argues that the proposed changes are not likely to change the number of patients receiving care for autism spectrum disorders and says a final decision on these criteria are coming in 2013 with the publishing of APA's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM 5).
Still, parents of children with milder forms of autism – such as Asperger's Syndrome – have expressed fears that a narrower definition will mean fewer benefits for their kids.

All the times I've been in NOLA, I've gone to at least one cemetery. I find them more interesting because of the above-ground part. I remember asking my "aunt" about that when I was in middle school and we were visiting. I had no idea why cemeteries were above-ground there. It fascinated me, even then. I was so used to our regular cemeteries here in Wisconsin that it never occurred to me that they would be any different.

Lott and Lawyers raise for Mitt
Mitt Romney will return to Washington later this month for a $1K per-person "Lawyers for Romney" fundraiser at Patton Boggs.
Trent Lott, now a lawyer-lobbyist at the firm, will co-host the July 26th lunch event along with a few other DC attorneys. Beyond Lott, who said earlier this year that he was for Romney, the most notable name on the invitation may be Dick Wiley. A founding partner of K Street form Wiley Rein, Wiley has been a GOP power player dating back to his time as Chairman of the FCC under Nixon.
Story Continued Below
Patton Boggs is the firm Romney uses for his campaign finance and compliance and the candidate's counsel, not-quite-graybeard Ben Ginsberg, is also a co-host.

A faculty member who is unable to donate to the pool because his/her sick leave has yet to reach a total of eight (8) hours will be granted pool use.
When an employee is approved for shared leave, the maximum duration of shared leave shall be six (6) months. When the share leave is granted due to the illness or injury of a family member, the maximum duration of the shared leave shall be six (6) months from the date the employee began using shared leave.
To donate leave, KNEA unit members must complete a Faculty/KNEA Shared Leave Donation Form and send to HRS.
KNEA unit members may donate a maximum of 80 hours sick leave to the faculty sick leave pool per academic year. Donations to the faculty sick leave pool are voluntary and irrevocable.

A woman who, along with another woman, lured a middle-aged man from a chip shop to a nearby bedroom on the promise of a threesome only to rob him was yesterday jailed for one year.
Martina McGrath, aged 23, formerly of Market St, Bantry, Co Cork, and originally from Co Waterford, pleaded guilty to a charge of demanding money with menaces from the 55-year-old man at a house on Lower Market St, Bantry, and robbery of a man in his 20s on the same date.
Garda Eoin Concannon said on that occasion, that McGrath and another woman lured the man in his mid-50s to a house on Lower Market St in the early hours of Sept 5, 2010.
Garda Concannon testified: "He was lured back to the house by the two girls. They brought him upstairs. They offered him a threesome. He declined but they persisted and got his pants down a small bit; €920 was then taken out of his pocket.
"He tried to get the money back. They got aggressive. They said they had [male relatives] in the house and they would get them to beat him up if he did not leave the house."
Earlier, a man in his 20s was found in a distressed state in the town. He told gardaí he had been robbed of €40 and a mobile phone, and had been slashed in the arm with a knife.
Garda Concannon said: "He said he met them earlier and they invited him from a bar back to the house. They invited him up to a bedroom upstairs. Then both women punched him and kicked him. One of the women came upstairs with a knife. He decided to escape from the house but he was stabbed in the arm with the knife."
McGrath and another woman were later found arguing in Bantry. They were arrested and all of the stolen cash and phone were recovered and returned to the owners.
Brendan Kelly, defending, said McGrath was addicted to Valium, among other things. She told her probation officer she had been taking 40 to 50 tablets a day.
Mr Kelly said there was a lack of parental control in her life and that her parents were now out of the country because of a family feud in Waterford.
"She has no recollection at all of the events. She admits they must have been distressing for the two victims and she is extremely apologetic in that regard and very remorseful," said Mr Kelly.
Judge David Riordan said it must have been distressing for both injured parties. He said the defendant was now talking about undertaking counselling, but he said her commitment to that had to be seen in the context of the probation officer's finding that she was reluctant to take the counselling recommended for her.
The judge imposed a two-and-a-half-year sentence, with the last 18 months suspended.

Quick Reference
[Ir. Airer Goídel, country of the Gael; ScG Oirer Ghaidheal, country of the Gael; or ScG erra Ghaidheal, coastland of the Gael].
Formerly the southernmost county of Gaelic Scotland and closest to Ireland; since 1974 a north-west portion of Strathclyde. It occupies 3,110 square miles, including many islands and narrow peninsulas, nearly all of it mountainous. During Roman times the area was home to a British population called the Epidii or 'horse people'. The region was once also known as Ergadia. After the 5th century ad the area was overrun with Gaelic settlers from Ireland, who established a kingdom at Dál Riada. One of the richest collections of Scottish Gaelic traditional literature was gathered largely in Argyll:
Archibald Campbell (ed.), The Waifs and Strays in Celtic Tradition (4 vols., London, 1889–91).

CORVALLIS, Ore. - Researchers at Oregon State University have demonstrated for the first time one of the natural mechanisms that helps regulate populations of marine fish species, so that the fish neither go extinct or expand their numbers to unsupportable levels.
The study, to be reported Friday in the journal Science, documents how the population of a tropical fish species called damselfish is controlled by combined attacks from predators in the reefs below and the waters above.
The research also confirms a theory about "density dependent" mortality, which suggests that as populations of a fish species grow large, the levels of predation increase; but as populations fall, the "roving" predators lose interest and move away to better hunting grounds, allowing populations to rebound.
"Among other findings, this research suggests that it's important to not overfish these predatory species, since they may play a key role in regulating the populations of other fish," said Mark Hixon, an OSU professor of zoology. "If you were to remove the predatory species, you could seriously destabilize the population and make it far more erratic than it already is."
The findings, Hixon said, help explain on a basic ecological level how the population of at least one fish species may be regulated on a short-term basis, and it probably has applications to a number of other species with related mechanisms. However, these small-scale oscillations in fish population are a different issue than large-scale population changes - such as the salmon crisis in the Pacific Northwest - that may be influenced by overfishing, habitat degradation and marine climate change.
It's commonly known, Hixon said, that many fish populations can vary dramatically, sometimes on a scale of 10-100 times over a period of decades or even a few years. It's been far less clear what prevents this natural variation from getting out of control, although it is widely theorized that some natural mechanism causes a high level of natural mortality when fish populations are too high, and the mortality lessens when the populations are low.
In field research done on tropical reefs in the Bahamas Islands, scientists from OSU and the University of California at Santa Cruz showed that the damselfish - during their particularly vulnerable juvenile stage - were preyed upon by two distinct types of predators, both of which were necessary for this type of "density dependent" population control.
Groupers, and other "resident" fish species living within the same coral reefs the damselfish favored, preyed on them if they ventured too close to the reef. Jacks, another tropical fish species, were "roving" predators that attacked the damselfish from above.
"When damselfish populations became high, the jacks would show up and attack the juvenile fish from above and the groupers would eat them if they ventured into the reefs below," Hixon said. "They were literally caught between the devil and the deep blue sea."
But when damselfish populations dwindled, Hixon said, the jacks would lose interest and move on to other feeding grounds, giving the damselfish time and opportunity to rebuild their populations.
These types of natural population control mechanisms are complex, quite variable, and no doubt operate differently for different fish species, Hixon said. Cod fisheries in the North Atlantic - which have practically collapsed due to overfishing - may have predatory fish similar to the damselfish involved in their population control. But there is speculation that marine bird species and other predators may regulate juvenile salmon in the ocean.
Basic ecological research such as this may help fisheries managers better understand the life cycle and ecology of marine fish, Hixon said, and take steps to protect the natural interaction of different species. For instance, the research suggests that overfishing of important marine predators could seriously disrupt natural population controls on other fish species.
"What we basically need to do is understand how natural systems work and then make sure they are not seriously disrupted by human activities," Hixon said.

CLIENT: Gapcote
BUDGET: approx. $ 4,000,000 AUD
DESIGN / DOCUMENTATION: 4 mths (not inc. council approvals)
CONSTRUCTION: 10 mths
PROJECT TYPE: Mixed Use, Commercial, Retail, Multi-Residential
LOCATION: Cnr Sandgate & Oriel Rds & Montpelier St, Clayfield
The Fig Trees development located on the cnr of Sandgate and Oriel Roads in Clayfield one of Brisbane's inner northern suburbs was a mixed use development comprised of approx 1000m2 retail space, 700m2 commercial space as well as 3 residential apartments. The project began with the amalgamation of four properties and extensive negotiations with the Brisbane City Council regarding access, permitted development heights, and required character. Numerous attempts had previously been made by others to develop the site prior to the project being brought to Architects Australia, however because of the extensive requirements imposed upon the development by Council, these had been unsuccessful. Architects Australia was however, able to navigate a course through these requirements, which produced a viable project for the client and an acceptable outcome for the Council and several of the adjoining properties and the surrounding community. The design of the mixed use complex, was required by Council to empathize with the Queensland character of the existing residences in the surrounding areas. Although constrained by the character code the material palette chosen for the development was simple and cost effective, with metal decking employed for the pitched roof and Hebel paneling worked with horizontal grooves to emulate stone work was used for much of the external walls. In planning the development, each of the uses was provided with separate pedestrian entries; however a centrally located lift was incorporated which was also able to serve each of the uses. At the outset of the design process, consideration was given to the potential commercial tenants for the development and it was decided that an opportunity existed for the first floor commercial tenancies to be either a medical practice or medical related tenancies. In order to attract this particular type of tenant the lift size was increased to enable it to accommodate a fully prone stretcher. This forward planning proved to be invaluable to our clients, when they were able to secure tenants for the project well before completion of construction.

Does the author portray the characters of the sheriff, the county attorney, the neighbor and John Wright fairly?

It is important to consider three things when assessing Glaspell's portrayal of the male characters of the play:
- The setting of the drama is the early 1900s, a time in which women were not given equal status with men.
- It is a one-act play which does not permit extensive development of character.
- The purpose of the play is to depict the gender differences. For, it is the lack of male compassion and understanding which drives Mrs. Wright to commit the reactionary act that she does, and it is the same male lack of understanding which prevents the men from discovering the motive of the crime.
The last two considerations certainly include a certain stereotypical portrayal of the male characters in Trifles, albeit one that was often true in the early twentieth century, and for which there is evidence. For, as the women talk in the kitchen of the Wright home, the life of "quiet desperation" led by Mrs. Wright is revealed. For instance, Mrs. Hale tells the others that she stayed away
MRS. HALE. "...because it weren't cheerful..I've never liked this place. Maybe because it's down in a hollow and you don't see the road...but it's a lonesome place and always was.
....Not having children makes less work--but it makes a quiet house, and Wright out to work all day, and no company when he did come in."
She goes on to say that Mr. Wright was "a hard man," and she can understand why Mrs. Wright would want a bird. Mrs. Hale also recalls how much Minnie Foster changed after becoming Mrs. Wright. Like a bird herself, timid, sweet, and "fluttery," Mrs. Wright, who once sang in the church choir, became quietly withdrawn.
Another male character, the County Attorney, makes patronizing comments which portray him in a stereotypical manner, as well. Acting "with the gallantry of a young politician," as he condescends to the women after Mr. Hale remarks, "Well, women are used to worrying over trifles,"
COUNTY ATTORNEY And, yet for all their worries, what would we do without the ladies?
The sheriff, too, makes remarks which are somewhat insensitive, but certainly typical of men of that time. When Mrs. Peters tells the other women that Mrs. Wright is worried about her fruit that she has preserved freezing, Mr. Peters remarks,
SHERIFF. Well can you beat the woman! Held for murder and worryin' about her preserves.
Certainly, it is not untypical of him to say this since he would not understand how much work Mrs. Wright has put into her canning, as well as the fact that she focuses on minute details to prevent herself from being as aware of the other terrible facts.
Is the author Susan Glaspell unfair in her treatment of the male characters of her play? Perhaps, so; however, with her theme of gender differences and the limited frame of a one-act play, it is their tendency to overlook what many men of their region and time period would consider insignificant female trivialities. This, indeed, is part of the "local color" that provides the drama its interesting twist.

For the heck of it, I recently asked our database specialist Tim Henderson to check where the heaviest voting was in Westchester County for the two presidential candidates in the Nov. 6 election. It was just a little housekeeping chore.
The results were not surprising, proving once again that there are two Westchesters, pretty much divided along racial lines.
Overall, the Obama/Biden ticket won handily. According to unofficial results from the Westchester County Board of Elections, the Democratic incumbent received 221,354 votes overall, or 62 percent of the county vote.
The Republican Romney/Ryan ticket got 133,524 votes, or 37 percent of the county vote.
Romney did best in the mostly, white Republican town of Mount Pleasant, where at three voting district he pulled in 73 to 76 percent of the votes. In a section of Yonkers and in Eastchester he got 72 percent of the vote. That pretty much sums up the last strongholds of Republicanism in a county that is nearly 2 to 1 Democratic over GOP. Click on Romney map.
There were two districts in Mount Vernon and one in White Plains that went 100 percent for Obama. (photo left shows voting at Levister Towers in Mount Vernon.) The president also received almost all of the votes in two New Rochelle districts. Click on Obama map.
In Rockland County, Romney got 100 percent of the vote in the Hasidic community of Ramapo.

Switzerland will hold a vote on whether to introduce a basic income for all adults, in a further sign of growing public activism over pay inequality since the financial crisis.
A grassroots committee is calling for all adults in Switzerland to receive an unconditional income of 2,500 Swiss francs ($2,800) per month from the state, with the aim of providing a financial safety net for the population.
Organizers submitted more than the 100,000 signatures needed to call a referendum on Friday and tipped a truckload of 8 million five-rappen coins outside the parliament building in Berne, one for each person living in Switzerland.
For married couples, you're talking about $67,000 a year for blessing the planet with your presence. I know couples with two PhD's who don't make that much. Switzerland is a wealthy and expensive country — the per capita income is nearly $80,000. But this is ridiculous. In addition, Switzerland enacted "say on pay" limits to executive compensation and have an upcoming referendum to limit executive salaries to 12 times the lowest paid staff member. They may not be going quite full communist, but they're close.
If these pass and you open a business in Switzerland, you will have to pay every employee no less than $34,000 a year and you yourself will not be able to take home more than $400,000 per year. I've always liked Switzerland, but I can see this driving away a lot of businesses.

ReviewI have owned 3 pathfinders along the way. First was a 1996 se, then went to a 2001 with the 3.5l and now I am back in a 1997. They all have been absolutely great vehicles! Never left me stranded anywhere, go through snow up to the bumpers, repairs are rare and they hold their value. The only complaint I had was going from my 1996 with 150,000 miles to the 2001 with 80,000 miles, I expected the same fuel mileage and was disappointed. A year later and I was back in the 1997 and regained some of the fuel mileage back again. This is a cant miss suv. Why pay thousands more for a 4 runner?

No it's a 78 and unopened. I doubt whether it's wonderful to drink now it's been in the kids cubby with about 100 or so other old stockers for the last year or so.

Shuckberg History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Norman Conquest brought to England in 1066. The Shuckberg family lived in Warwickshire which is derived from the Old English word scucca, meaning goblin or demon, and burgh meaning hill. Combined the place meant "hill or mound haunted by an evil spirit." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) The place name was listed as Socheberge [2]CITATION[CLOSE]

Early Origins of the Shuckberg family
Warwickshire at Upper Shuckburgh, a parish, in the union of Southam, Southam division of the hundred of Knightlow. "Shuckburgh Park, the seat of the ancient family of Shuckburgh. Dugdale supposes that William de Shuckburgh, in the time of King John, was the first who assumed the name; in subsequent reigns several of the family held offices of great trust and authority in the county. The mansion is a spacious and elegant structure, in an extensive park, abounding in deer, but whose woodland recesses do not possess their former beauty, much of the timber having been felled." [3]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. Prior to the year 1200, their history is obscured but most assume it to be descended from Herlwin, the Domesday tenant of Shuckburgh who held the manor from the Count of Meulan in the year 1086 or from Alwin, the tenant of the other half who held it from Thorkell of Warwick. The Shuckburgh family have held the manor ever since. Today, Shuckburgh Hall is a privately owned country house mansion and has been the home of the Shuckburgh family since the 12th century. "William de Suckberge is presumed to be the first who assumed the name, from Shuckborough Superior, in this county; he was living in the third of John." [4]CITATION[CLOSE]

Shuckberg Spelling Variations
spelling variations. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages such as Norman French and Latin, even literate people regularly changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Shuckberg include Shuckburgh, Shuckborough, Shuckburg, Shuckberg and others.

Migration of the Shuckberg family to the New World and Oceana
Faced with the chaos present in England at that time, many English families looked towards the open frontiers of the New World with its opportunities to escape oppression and starvation. People migrated to North America, as well as Australia and Ireland in droves, paying exorbitant rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, but those who did see the shores of North America were welcomed with great opportunity. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America carried the name Shuckberg, or a variant listed above: Richard Shuchburgh settled in Boston Massachusetts in 1768.
The Shuckberg Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Haec manus ob patriam
Motto Translation: This hand for my country.
