Home : Laws and policy info : The Americans with Disabilities Act :
Americans with Disabilities Act - Focus on Employment
Title I of the ADA governs employment issues. It states:
No covered entity shall discriminate against a qualified individual with a disability because of the disability of such individual in regard to job application procedures; the hiring, advancement, or discharge of employees; employee compensation; job training; and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment.
Major Employment Provisions
- The ADA requires equal opportunity in the selection, testing, and hiring of qualified applicants with disabilities.
- The ADA prohibits discrimination against workers with disabilities. Covered entities are all employers with 15 or more employees.
- The ADA employment provisions apply to private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies, labor organizations, and joint labor-management committees.
- The ADA requires equal treatment in promotion and benefits.
- The ADA requires reasonable accommodation for applicants and workers with disabilities when such accommodations would not impose undue hardship. Reasonable accommodation is a concept already familiar to and widely used in todays workplace.
- Employers may require that an individual not pose a direct threat to the health and safety of the individual or others.
- Employers may not make pre-employment inquiries about an applicants disability or conduct pre-employment medical tests. Employers may ask if applicants can perform specific job functions and may condition a job offer on results of a medical exam, but only if the exam is required for all entering employees in similar jobs.
- Drug testing is not considered to be a medical exam, and can be required as part of the application process. Employers may conduct tests for the illegal use of drugs and may prohibit illegal use of drugs and alcohol in the workplace.
Some Key Definitions
The term disability means:
- a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities, for example, walking, seeing, speaking or hearing;
- a record of such an impairment, for example, a person who has recovered from cancer;
- being regarded as having such an impairment even when no limitations exist, for example, a person who is scarred from burns.
The term qualified individual with a disability means an individual with a disability who, with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the employment position that such individual holds or desires.
Reasonable accommodation may include:
- making existing facilities used by employees readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities;
- job restructuring, part-time or modified work schedules, reassignment to a vacant position;
- acquisition or modification of equipment or devices;
- appropriate adjustment or modifications of examinations, training materials or policies;
- the provision of qualified readers or interpreters;
- other similar accommodations.
See section 6, Job Accommodation, for more information
The term undue hardship means that an action requires significant difficulty or expense. Factors to be considered in determining whether an accommodation would cause an undue hardship include:
- the nature and cost of the accommodation
- the resources and size of the business as a whole and of the facility making the accommodation
- the type of business operation, including the composition, functions, and structure of the workforce
- the impact that the accommodation would have on the facility making it and on the business as a whole.
In general, a larger employer will be expected to make accommodations requiring greater effort or expense than a smaller employer.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Federal agency that regulates and enforces other employment discrimination laws, is responsible for enforcing ADA employment provisions.
Important Note
Impact of State and Local Laws and Regulations Concerning Nondiscrimination
This section contains information only on federal laws and regulations. Federal requirements are the baseline standards for nondiscrimination and equal opportunity. State and local laws and regulations may have additional requirements that employers must comply with.

Try Our 7 Delicious Pasta Varieties
Spaghetti means long, thin strands. It is the most popular type of all pastas and is suited for a wide variety of dishes. Spaghetti can be served with red sauce, like Spaghetti Marinara or with white sauce like Spaghetti Carbonara.
Linguine means "little tongues" which describes its flat, thin shape. A popular linguine dish is with clams, but may also be served with pesto sauce, sugo (tomato sauce) or with chicken.
Penne Rigate
Penne Rigate is a short-cut tubular pasta. Penne describes the slanted "quill" shape on both ends and Rigate means with ridges. The ridges capture flavor making this cut great for a wide range of sauces from vegetable sauces to meat sauces. Kids may prefer to eat it with just butter and Parmesan cheese.
Elbows are a very versatile cut suitable for soups, salads, or casseroles. Its short, bent shape provides durability to hold up in the American macaroni and cheese. Add it to make a hearty vegetable and beef soup or bake it in a tuna-noodle casserole.
Angel Hair
Angel Hair are heavenly long, thin strands of pasta that cook up in just 5 minutes. Angel hair pairs best with delicate sauces, and is delightful with seafood, as you'll discover in our recipe for Angel Hair with Spicy Shrimp.
Lasagna are pasta sheets used to layer in baked dishes. Dreamfields Lasagna has ridges, creating even more crevices to hold sauces and ingredients for even bolder flavor. Traditional meat and tomato sauce layered with ricotta and Parmesan cheeses is the most popular lasagna recipe. Vegetarian varieties and Florentine - made with spinach and white sauce - are delicious options too.
Rotini, a spiral shaped pasta, is the most popular cut for pasta salads, especially those made with an oil and vinegar dressing. Kids love these cork-screw shapes too because they are easy for little fingers to grab and eat!

Mariah Carey's New Album To Be A Surprise Release
Superstar, Mariah Carey, spills the beans to Billboard Magazine that her long-awaited 14th studio album might be a surprise release, much like Beyonce's self-titled release.
It's been a long road for Mariah Carey's 14th studio album. It was titled then untitled, due for release, then delayed. It all started back in the summer of 2012 when the singer released 'Triumphant,' which floundered and kicked off the sequence of delays all the way to this year's under-performing single, 'You're Mine (Eternal).'
As the subject of Billboard's latest cover story, Mariah and manager, Jermaine Dupri, dish about the upcoming release. The most important detail is that the singer will be taking "a surprise approach to the project," according to the magazine.
What that means is that it will be released at once for digital consumption and then available to retailers the week after. An approach that Frank Ocean and Beyoncé took for their latest projects. The "surprise" route seems to be catching on as Kid Cudi and EDM producer, Skrillex, released their albums without any warning.
The story, that'll be released Monday morning, also finds the pop star talking about collaborations, what to expect on the new album, and her return to television.

Going into 2008, peanut contracts had hit $500, corn and soybeans were in a bull market, and cotton was having a difficult time getting into the game. But entering 2011, things have changed.
"Now, the roles of cotton and peanuts are reversed, and the big question is whether or not peanuts can hold onto the acres that were planted in 2010," says Nathan Smith, University of Georgia economist. Smith gave an overview of the peanut markets during the recent Georgia Peanut Farm Show held in Albany, Ga.
This past year, U.S. peanut acreage was up 16 percent, he says. "Georgia's increase wasn't as high as the national average because we planted more cotton. At the end of the 2010 marketing year, we still had a large supply of peanuts, more than 900,000 tons," says Smith.
U.S. yield for 2010 was pegged by USDA at 3,311 pounds per acre. Georgia's yield was equal to the record in 2009 of 3,560 pounds per acre, despite extreme heat and drought late in the season.
"Domestic consumption continues to grow, driven mainly by peanut butter, and exports are projected to remain steady," says Smith. "Crush will be increased this year with some of the quality issues we saw in peanuts from the 2010 crop."
In Georgia, he says, cotton and peanut acreage both increased in 2010. "We had an impressive peanut yield considering the conditions. Varieties are certainly performing better than in the past. But what kind of yields do we need to use in projecting our acreage and production? We had good years in 2008 and 2009, and over the last five years we've averaged a little over 3,200 pounds per acre. If you use a trend yield in projections, I'd use about 3,300 pounds per acre," he says.
Figures don't match up
The final tonnage figures don't match up with the USDA projections because there is slippage going across states as peanuts are being graded, says Smith. "Georgia yields might be a little bit lower than USDA estimates. But added together, the yields are pretty close to what has been projected."
If Seg. 2 and Seg. 3 peanuts in Alabama, Florida and Georgia are added together, it's a total of about 65,000 tons, says Smith.
"That's a lot, historically speaking. We usually have about .5 percent, and that's more than 3 percent. If you total all Seg. 2's and Seg. 3's in the United States, that's about 90,000 tons that may be cleaned up, but there can be a lot of losses in cleaning them up and they won't be used in the edible market. So quality issues could make the stocks smaller than they actually are when you look at the carryover," he says.
With the early $550-per-ton contract coming out, it sends a message that things are different this year, says Smith. Even with a crop of a little more than 2 tons, peanuts don't want to lose too much ground to cotton.
As far as the market outlook for the coming year, the domestic consumption pattern will probably continue, he says. "We'll see more peanuts go to crush than usual. Vegetable oil or soybean oil prices have been on the rise, so that should help peanut oil prices. Exports could face some competition, although for now they have us remaining steady or even increasing somewhat."
Right now, says Smith, current cotton and corn prices are at a level that should pull away some peanut acres. "Especially considering $1 cotton, and, depending on where you are, possibly being able to get $6 or $7 corn, depending on the basis."
Peanut contracts of $550 to $575 per ton were being offered going into this past November, according to Smith. "It sent an early message from shellers that they don't want to give up very many peanut acres, because we'll need about the same amount of acres this year as in 2010 to keep things level or to meet total consumption. If I use that 3,300-pound average yield for 2011, then it'll take about 1.3 million acres."
With cotton at 95 cents — at least — and corn at $6, what price will be needed for peanuts?
"Looking at the budgets for this coming year, we saw costs come down last year, but more recently, fertilizer and diesel prices have gone up. That's in our budgets and projections for 2011, and eventually I would expect chemical costs to also go up, following up the higher prices.
"According to the National Center for Peanut Competitiveness, at 90 cents for cotton, $550 or $556 per ton is the break-even point for peanuts. For $1 cotton, we're looking at needing $610 for peanuts. So if cotton prices stay where they are, we'll probably need a higher peanut price to keep acres where they are."

'The Croods' explores the modern Stone Age family
Our notion of the modern Stone Age family gets a tweak in "The Croods,'' the latest bit of 3-D rock candy from DreamWorks Animation. Instead of a caveman world that's infrastructurally a lot like ours, only with foot-powered sedans, it's a world that's emotionally a lot like ours, with experience-starved teens and overprotective parents butting heads. But then, with prehistoric beasties and tectonic catastrophe waiting at every turn, we can see where the 'rents are coming from.
Emma Stone voices Eep, a cutely brutish cavegirl (think Fiona from "Shrek,'' only with worse posture and better skin) who yearns to see what's over the horizon. Or out there in the dark. Or at least beyond the monotonous confines of her family's craggy canyon home. But the movie does an entertaining job of impressing on us what a struggle survival is at the dawn of man. It's an all-hands-on-deck family action episode just to snag a few precious drops of proto-emu egg yolk. There's lots of cleverly rendered anthropological skittishness in response to the unknown — which is virtually everything. And for Eep's dad, Grug (Nicolas Cage, cartoonish in every sense), "new'' is inherently synonymous with "deadly.'' So Eep isn't going anywhere.
Until she does go somewhere, of course. She's lured from her cave by Guy (Ryan Reynolds), a semi-evolved wanderer with chiseled features instead of a sloped forehead, an ability to kindle fire, and an understanding that cataclysmic geological change is coming. Soon he's got the entire family joining him on a visually colorful quest to get to higher, safer ground, with Grug disapprovingly furrowing his monobrow throughout. (The rest of the likable Crood brood includes Catherine Keener as the mom, Clark Duke as Eep's brother, and Cloris Leachman as their resilient granny — source of some nettlesome-mother-in-law humor that feels like a further ode to "The Flintstones.'')
Some of the exotic landscape the group trailblazes looks imported from "Avatar'' — happily, bringing that immersively dimensionalized, eye-catching quality along with it. If the flora is familiar, though, the fauna is unique, as animators Chris Sanders ("How to Train Your Dragon'') and Kirk DeMicco ("Space Chimps'') clearly put in extra hours brainstorming their dizzying stampede of hybrid critters. Among the species that "Ice Age'' overlooked: owl-headed wildcats, gator badgers, flamingo-spliced piranha, giraffe-spotted elephants, and land whales.
The filmmakers also work overtime to knead a satisfying resolution from their themes about the importance of growth and living life unafraid. But they cop out on a scene in which Cage's character takes his instinctual protectiveness to a surprising extreme. Just as the whole group is about to be swallowed up by the Big One, Glug selflessly — well, we won't spoil it. We'll just say that had the movie figured out a way to stay the less-cliched course, it might have helped the DreamWorks oeuvre take steps toward Pixar's emotional resonance. Now that would have been evolving.

[slideshow_deploy id='24688′]
by Sue Ann Rybak
Sunny Mizelle, 3, kneels on the floor at Project Learn School in her red tights as she lightly strokes white acrylic paint on her matted art paper. She smears paint on her forehead as she brushes a blond strand of hair out of her eyes. Although the painting looks nothing like the pink arrangement of flowers in the center of the floor, it is no doubt a beautiful piece of artwork.
Thanks to two Mt. Airy teachers, Joan Fox and Debby Pollak, children can come to the school and learn about the joy of art. One Saturday a month for nearly 20 years, Fox, an art teacher at Project Learn in Mt. Airy, and Pollak, an art teacher at Wissahickon Charter School in East Falls, can be found teaching art from 10 a.m. to noon at Project Learn. Both Fox and Pollak believe art is something that should be shared.
"Teaching art for me has always been about connecting with children and finding ways to help them see our world a little more deeply, or take a few extra moments when looking at something – descriptions and appreciations of the small details," Pollak said, "and hoping that they believe what they make is beautiful and important, and that they are beautiful and important."
Fox and Pollak started Project Learn's free Saturday Community Arts Program in 1995 as a gift to the community from the school, which had just opened a new addition. For the past nine years, the program has offered a free monthly cooking class for children, also taught by faculty, and, briefly, a writing class.
The goal of these programs is to insure that the school remains a community resource even on weekends. Teachers volunteer their professional skills, and the school provides the classroom space.
Pollak, who had taught art at Project Learn for 14 years, has a bachelor of fine arts degree from what is now the University of the Arts. Fox, who has taught at the school for 22 years, holds a bachelor of fine arts from the Rhode Island School of Design.
Pollak, 52, said Project Learn's Saturday Community Arts Program has been funded by grants from community organizations.
"Joan and I strike a great balance in our teaching styles," Pollak said. "Our reactions to things are very similar, but we come to things differently."
And she gave an example:"When we're gluing something, Joan says 'a little dab will do you,' and I say, 'glob it on.'"
Pollak said their friendship was "woven into our Saturdays."
She said that even though she no longer worked at Project Learn, teaching art at Project Learn on Saturdays helped her to stay connected to the school.
Fox, 53, defined Saturday Art for her as "something we do together."
"It's something we do as friends," she added, "and it's kind of the essence of our combined efforts. We'll do it until one of us doesn't want to do it. It's something we do together, and when we can't do it together or one of us doesn't want to do it, then it will just be done."
"Making art with kids is something I love to do," Pollak added. "It's something I'll do until I can't. Art is a way to share. No matter how crowded the floor gets, we always make room for every artist."
"We like to say we are opening our doors to the neighborhood, and if you consider yourself our neighbor, come and make art," Fox said.

Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns must be a proponent of the idea that if you repeat something often enough people will come to believe it. In a spate of recent appearances in the Mid-South, Johanns and Deputy Secretary Chuck Conner said over and over that farmers must accept spending cuts to help reduce the federal deficit.
Speaking to farmers in Memphis and later in Little Rock, Johanns said failing to cut the deficit in half by 2010 — as President Bush has proposed — will have disastrous consequences for agriculture.
"It isn't good for any part of agriculture to have federal deficits at this level," Johanns said in Memphis, referring to projections of massive deficits for the remainder of the decade. "I've said it's a little bit like taking your kids' checkbook and writing checks out of that."
Deputy Secretary Conner echoed those comments in a press conference at the Delta Council annual meeting in Cleveland, Miss., adding that the deficit must be reduced to keep interest rates from rising.
The problem for Johanns and Conner is that farmers, at least in cotton and rice, aren't buying it. While agreeing the deficit must be reduced, they disagree with the Bush administration's methods.
At each of the stops by Johanns and Conner — the deputy secretary spoke to a breakfast meeting of Delta Council leaders before the group's annual meeting — growers said the contribution being asked of them exceeds agriculture's less than 1 percent share of the federal budget.
Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, was able to put together a compromise provision in the fiscal 2006 budget resolution that lowered agriculture's cuts to $3 billion (vs. the president's proposal of $9 billion).
But what troubles many Sun Belt farmers is that one of the president's primary mechanisms for reducing farm spending remains in play despite repeated attempts to get the administration to back away from lower payment limits.
For many, that represents a betrayal of the promises made when President Bush signed the 2002 farm bill.
"You're talking about totally wrecking farming operations," said Bill Bristow, an attorney who spoke at the Little Rock meeting. "It will devastate land prices and the rural economy. Most of the banks will fail. You're trying to save money by skimping a few dollars from payment limits. But the devastation you will reap will be many, many times more expensive."
As in the other meetings, Johanns did not respond directly to such statements. Instead, he repeated his promise to conduct a series of listening sessions on the reauthorization of the farm bill, which is scheduled to occur in 2007.
Strangely, there were few comments about the president's call for more tax cuts. The fiscal 2006 budget resolution adopted by the House and Senate last month contains $70 billion in tax cuts and only $35 billion in spending reductions. It's difficult to see how Congress can make much headway on deficit reduction with numbers like those.

2012 Billboard Music Awards to Honor Donna Summer, Adam 'MCA' Yauch + Whitney Houston
Music lost quite a few greats less than six months into 2012, and the Billboard Music Awards will recognize pop's fallen stars tonight. The show is slated to feature tributes to Donna Summer, the Beastie Boys' Adam 'MCA' Yauch and Whitney Houston.
The show's co-executive producer, Richard Beckman, dished on the details of the tributes — though in the case of Summer's seemingly sudden passing, some were scarce, as they hadn't been finalized.
"I was at the Grammys, and what a curveball they were thrown when Whitney passed away [the day before the show]," Beckman told The Hollywood Reporter. "They did a good job with Jennifer Hudson, but obviously we had a bit more time, so we wanted to do something honoring such a remarkable performer. We have a lovely segment with a full orchestra and John Legend doing 'The Greatest Love of All' — his voice is just smashing — and Whitney's last co-star [in the movie 'Sparkle'], Jordin Sparks, 'Doing I Will Always Love You.' And Bobbi Kristina, Whitney's daughter, will accept the Millennium Award for her mother, which we created last year for Beyonce — that's probably the highest tribute we could pay."
"We're going to do something for Adam, and for Donna too," Beckman added. "Given that it only happened yesterday (May 18), there's not a lot of room to get too creative, but they're both great influences in music and they deserve to be respected."
The 2012 Billboard Music Awards will air tonight (May 20) at 8 PM on ABC.

AFTERBOOT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual AFTERBOOT(8)
afterboot - things to check after the first complete boot
This document attempts to list items for the system administrator to check and set up after the installation and first complete boot of the system. The idea is to create a list of items that can be checked off so that you have a warm fuzzy feeling that something obvious has not been missed. A basic knowledge of UNIX is assumed, otherwise type # help Complete instructions for correcting and fixing items is not provided. There are manual pages and other methodologies available for doing that. For example, to view the man page for the ls(1) command, type: # man 1 ls Administrators will rapidly become more familiar with MirOS BSD if they get used to using the high quality manual pages. In order to browse a file, for example /usr/share/doc/legal/1stREAD, which you should really read, type: # less /usr/share/doc/legal/1stREAD Within less(1), type ? for help and q to quit. Other important files to read include /usr/share/doc/legal/LICENCE, which refers to most other files within the same directory. You are obliged to read, understand and acknowledge the licences outlined in these files to use this product.
By the time that you have installed your system, it is quite likely that bugs in the release have been found. Most significant and easily fixed problems will be reported at the errata webpage at http://mirbsd.de/ or its subpages. The web page will mention if a problem is security related. It is recommended that you check this page regularly.
Basic use of the lynx(1) command required. To see current online manual pages, go to this page: http://www.mirbsd.org/cman/ For interactive help, see our mailing lists: http://www.mirbsd.org/?mail There are several IRC channels to connect to: http://www.mirbsd.org/?irc Please note there is no longer an IRC client in the default installation; use net/sirc, net/bitchx, or net/irssi.
During installation, a user with which you can login has been created. Use sudo(8) to perform administrative tasks. Logging in as "root" is no longer possible; this also affects single user mode (which only works after you manually set a root password). You can do so on the console, or over the network using ssh(1). If you wish to log in as root over the network, edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and set PermitRootLogin to "yes" first (see sshd_config(5)), but this is totally insecure. Also, root no longer has a home directory, so using it for anything practical is not intended. If you want to use RSA Version 1 or DSA Version 2 keys with sshd(8), you must edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file first and generate the keys using # /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -q -t rsa1 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N '' for RSA Version 1 (old), and # /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -q -t dsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N '' for DSA Version 2 (extremely slow). These are however both totally in- secure. Upon successful login on the console, you may see the message "Don't login as root, use su". For security reasons, it is bad practice to log in as root during regular use and maintenance of the system. Instead, ad- ministrators are encouraged to add a "regular" user, add said user to the "wheel" group, then use the su(1) and sudo(8) commands when root privileges are required. This process is described in more detail later.
This section only applies when you want to log in as root (which you should not do), or for single-user mode if you remove the word secure from the line for the console in /etc/ttys. Change the password for the root user. (Note that throughout the documentation, the term "superuser" is a synonym for the root user.) Choose a password that has numbers, di- gits, and special characters (not space) as well as from the upper and lower case alphabet. Do not choose any word in any language. It is common for an intruder to use dictionary attacks. Type the command /usr/bin/passwd to change it. It is a good idea to always specify the full path name for both the passwd(1) and su(1) commands as this inhibits the possibility of files placed in your execution PATH for most shells. Furthermore, the superuser's PATH should never contain the current directory (".").
If you set a root password, it's a good idea to remove the word secure from the line starting with console in the /etc/ttys file. Leaving the word secure there permits single-user boot and login without a password, but if you remove it, you had better set a root password first (see above) because otherwise you will not be able to use single user mode at all, even if you need it to rescue the system.
Check the system date with the date(1) command. If needed, change the date, and/or change the symbolic link of /etc/localtime to the correct time zone in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory. It is highly recommended to use ntpd(8), or at least rdate(8), to set the system clock against a NTP or time server. In the default crontab, there is even an entry which does that automatically after installation, using the adjtime(2) system call, which is not suitable for setting the clock, only adjusting it by a few milliseconds, but can be used in a runlevel greater than 0 as well. Examples: Set the current date to January 27th, 1999 3:04pm: # date 199901271504 Set the time zone to Atlantic Standard Time: # ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Atlantic /etc/localtime
Use the hostname command to verify that the name of your machine is correct. See the man page for hostname(1) if it needs to be changed. You will also need to edit the /etc/myname file to have it stick around for the next reboot.
The first thing to do is an ifconfig -a to see if the network interfaces are properly configured. Correct by editing /etc/hostname.interface (where interface is the interface name, e.g., "le0") and then using ifconfig(8) to manually configure it if you do not wish to reboot. Read the hostname.if(5) man page for more information on the format of /etc/hostname.interface files. The default routes are also set in these files; if you come from OpenBSD you will have to merge your /etc/mygate into a /etc/hostname.interface file - preferably with interface being the one on which the route is set. The loopback interface will look something like: lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 32972 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 an Ethernet interface something like: le0: flags=9863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> inet 192.168.4.52 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.4.255 inet6 fe80::5ef0:f0f0%le0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 and a PPP interface something like: ppp0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> inet 126.96.36.199 --> 184.108.40.206 netmask 0xffff0000 See netstart(8) for instructions on configuring multicast routing. See dhcp(8) for instructions on configuring interfaces with DHCP.
Issue a netstat -rn command. The output will look something like: Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Mtu Interface default 192.168.4.254 UGS 0 11098028 - le0 127 127.0.0.1 UGRS 0 0 - lo0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 3 24 - lo0 192.168.4 link#1 UC 0 0 - le0 192.168.4.52 8:0:20:73:b8:4a UHL 1 6707 - le0 192.168.4.254 0:60:3e:99:67:ea UHL 1 0 - le0 Internet6: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Mtu Interface ::/96 ::1 UGRS 0 0 32972 lo0 => ::1 ::1 UH 4 0 32972 lo0 ::ffff:0.0.0.0/96 ::1 UGRS 0 0 32972 lo0 fc80::/10 ::1 UGRS 0 0 32972 lo0 fe80::/10 ::1 UGRS 0 0 32972 lo0 fe80::%le0/64 link#1 UC 0 0 1500 le0 fe80::%lo0/64 fe80::1%lo0 U 0 0 32972 lo0 ff01::/32 ::1 U 0 0 32972 lo0 ff02::%le0/32 link#1 UC 0 0 1500 le0 ff02::%lo0/32 fe80::1%lo0 UC 0 0 32972 lo0 The default gateway address is stored in the hostname.if(5) file. If you need to edit this file, a painless way to reconfigure the network after- wards is route flush followed by a sh -x /etc/netstart command. You may manually configure using a series of route add and route delete commands (see route(8)). If you run dhclient(8) you will have to kill it by run- ning kill $(</var/run/dhclient.pid) after you flush the routes. If you wish to route packets between interfaces, add one or both of the following directives (depending on whether IPv4 or IPv6 routing is re- quired) to /etc/sysctl.conf: net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1 Packets are not forwarded by default, due to RFC requirements.
Check that the disks are mounted correctly by comparing the /etc/fstab file against the output of the mount(8) and df(1) commands. Example: # cat /etc/fstab /dev/sd0a / ffs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0d /usr ffs rw,nodev 1 2 /dev/sd0e /var ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 3 /dev/sd0g /tmp ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 4 /dev/sd0h /home ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 5 # mount /dev/sd0a on / type ffs (local) /dev/sd0d on /usr type ffs (local, nodev) /dev/sd0e on /var type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid) /dev/sd0g on /tmp type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid) /dev/sd0h on /home type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid) # df Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/sd0a 22311 14589 6606 69% / /dev/sd0d 203399 150221 43008 78% /usr /dev/sd0e 10447 682 9242 7% /var /dev/sd0g 18823 2 17879 0% /tmp /dev/sd0h 7519 5255 1888 74% /home # pstat -s Device 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Priority swap_device 131072 84656 46416 65% 0 Edit /etc/fstab and use the mount(8) and umount(8) commands as appropri- ate. Refer to the above example and fstab(5) for information on the for- mat of this file. You may wish to do NFS partitions now too, or you can do them later.
You can use ps(1), netstat(1), and fstat(1) to check on running processes, network connections, and opened files, respectively. CHANGING /etc FILES The system should be usable now, but you may wish to do more customizing, such as adding users, etc. Many of the following sections may be skipped if you are not using that package (for example, skip the Sendmail section if you won't be using Sendmail (not recommended)). We suggest that you cd /etc and edit most of the files in that directory. Note that the /etc/motd file is modified by /etc/rc whenever the system is booted. To keep any custom message intact, ensure that you leave two blank lines at the top, or your message will be overwritten.
Add users. There is no adduser(8) script. You may use vipw(8) to add users to the /etc/passwd file and edit /etc/group by hand to add new groups. You may also wish to edit /etc/login.conf and tune some of the limits documented in login.conf(5). The manual page for su(1) tells you to make sure to put people in the 'wheel' group if they need root access. For example: wheel:*:0:root,myself
The /etc/rc.* scripts are invoked at boot time, after single user mode has exited, and at shutdown. The whole process is controlled, more or less, by the master script /etc/rc. This script should not be changed by administrators. /etc/rc is in turn influenced by the configuration variables present in /etc/rc.conf. Again this script should not be changed by administrators: site-specific changes should be made to (freshly created if necessary) /etc/rc.conf.local. Any commands which should be run before the system sets its secure level should be made to /etc/rc.securelevel, and commands to be run after the system sets its secure level should be made to /etc/rc.local. Commands to be run before system shutdown should be set in /etc/rc.shutdown. For more information about system startup/shutdown files, see rc(8), rc.conf(8), securelevel(7), and rc.shutdown(8). If you've installed X, you may want to turn on xdm(1), the X Display Manager. To do this, change the value of xdm_flags in /etc/rc.conf.local.
Some architectures permit keyboard type control. Use the kbd(8) command to change the keyboard encoding. kbd -l will list all available encod- ings. kbd xxx will select the xxx encoding. Store the encoding in /etc/kbdtype to make sure it is set automatically at boot time.
Edit /etc/printcap and /etc/hosts.lpd to get any printers set up. Consult lpd(8) and printcap(5) if needed.
Edit /etc/mail/aliases and set the three standard aliases to go to either a mailing list, or the system administrator. # Well-known aliases -- these should be filled in! root: sysadm manager: root dumper: root Run newaliases(8) after changes.
MirOS ships with a default /etc/mail/localhost.cf file that will work for simple installations; it was generated from openbsd-localhost.mc in /usr/share/sendmail/cf. Please see /usr/share/sendmail/README and /usr/share/doc/smm/08.sendmailop/op.me for information on generating your own sendmail configuration files. For the default installation, sendmail is configured to only accept connections from the local host and to not accept connections on any external interfaces. This makes it possible to send mail locally, but not receive mail from remote servers, which is ideal if you have one central incoming mail machine and several clients. To cause sendmail to accept external network connections, modify the sendmail_flags variable in /etc/rc.conf.local to use the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file in accordance with the comments therein. This file was generated from openbsd-proto.mc. Note that sendmail now also listens on port 587 by default. This is to implement the RFC 2476 message submission protocol. You may disable this via the no_default_msa option in your sendmail .mc file. See /usr/share/sendmail/README for more information. The /etc/mail/localhost.cf file already has this disabled.
If you are using a name server from MirPorts (djbdns or BIND 9), check the /etc/resolv.conf file. It may look something like: domain nts.umn.edu nameserver 22.214.171.124 nameserver 184.108.40.206 search nts.umn.edu. umn.edu. lookup file bind If using a caching name server, add the line "nameserver 127.0.0.1" first. To get a local BIND instance to run, you will need to set named_flags in /etc/rc.conf.local. In this case, make sure that named(8) is running (otherwise there are long waits for resolver timeouts).
If this is a BOOTP server, edit /etc/dhcpd.conf as needed. dhcpd(8) will have to be turned on in rc.conf.local(8).
In order to make sure the system clock is synchronised to that of a pub- licly accessible NTP server, make sure that /etc/rc.conf.local contains the following: ntpd_flags="" See ntpd(8), rdate(8), and timed(8) for more information on setting the system's date.
If you are using ccd(4) concatenated disks, edit /etc/ccd.conf. Use the ccdconfig -U command to unload and the ccdconfig -C command to create tables internal to the kernel for the concatenated disks. You then mount(8), umount(8), and edit /etc/fstab as needed.
If this is a DHCP server, edit /etc/dhcpd.conf and /etc/dhcpd.interfaces as needed. You will have to make sure /etc/rc.conf.local has: dhcpd_flags="" or run dhcpd(8) manually.
Edit /etc/rbootd.conf if needed for remote booting. If you do not have HP computers doing remote booting, do not enable this.
If you are going to use kerberos(8) for authentication, and you already have a Kerberos master, change directory to /etc/kerberosV and configure. Remember to get a srvtab from the master so that the remote commands work.
If this is an NFS server make sure /etc/rc.conf.local has: nfs_server=YES Edit /etc/exports and get it correct. It is probably easier to reboot than to get the daemons running manually, but you can get the order correct by looking at /etc/rc.
Several services depend on the RPC portmapper, portmap(8), being running for proper operation. This includes NFS exports, among other services. To get the RPC portmapper to start automatically on boot, you will need to have this line in /etc/rc.conf.local: portmap=YES
Look at and possibly edit the /etc/daily, /etc/weekly, and /etc/monthly scripts. Your site specific things should go into /etc/daily.local, /etc/weekly.local, and /etc/monthly.local. These scripts have been limited so as to keep the system running without filling up disk space from normal running processes and database updates. (You probably do not need to understand them.) The /altroot filesystem can optionally be used to provide a backup of the root filesystem on a daily basis. To take advantage of this, you must have an entry in /etc/fstab with "xx" for the mount option: /dev/wd0j /altroot ffs xx 0 0 and you must add a line to root's crontab(5): ROOTBACKUP=1 so that the /etc/daily script will make a daily backup of the root filesystem.
You might wish to tighten up security more by editing /etc/fbtab as when installing X. In /etc/inetd.conf comment out any extra entries you do not need, and only add things that are really needed.
Look at the other files in /etc and edit them as needed. (Do not edit files ending in .db - like pwd.db, spwd.db, nor localtime, nor rmt, nor any directories.) Many files - for example, /etc/mk.conf, /etc/profile, /etc/rc.conf, /etc/changelist, and others - provide the ability to have them unchanged and place the changes into the file with .local added. Example: # echo 'rdate_flags="-n ntp0.nl.net"' >>/etc/rc.conf.local It is recommended to use rcs(1) for versioning files in /etc, especially those not in any changelist.
Check what is running by typing crontab -l as root and see if anything unexpected is present. Do you need anything else? Do you wish to change things? For example, if you do not like root getting standard output of the daily scripts, and want only the security scripts that are mailed internally, you can type crontab -e and change some of the lines to read: 30 1 * * * /bin/mksh /etc/daily >/var/log/daily.out 2>&1 30 3 * * 6 /bin/mksh /etc/weekly >/var/log/weekly.out 2>&1 30 5 1 * * /bin/mksh /etc/monthly >/var/log/monthly.out 2>&1 See crontab(5).
After the first night's security run, change ownerships and permissions on files, directories, and devices; root should have received mail with subject: "<hostname> daily insecurity output.". This mail contains a set of security recommendations, presented as a list looking like this: var/mail: permissions (0755, 0775) etc/daily: user (0, 3) The best bet is to follow the advice in that list. The recommended set- ting is the first item in parentheses, while the current setting is the second one. This list is generated by mtree(8) using /etc/mtree/special. Use chmod(1), chgrp(1), and chown(8) as needed.
Install your own packages. See ports(7) and packages(7) for more details. Copy vendor binaries and install them. You will need to install any shared libraries, etc. (Hint: man -k compat to find out how to install and use compatibility mode.) There is also other third-party software that is available in source form only, either because it has not been ported to MirOS yet, or because licensing restrictions make binary redistribution impossible. Sometimes checking the mailing lists for past problems that people have encountered will result in a fix posted.
Note: The standard MirOS kernel configuration (GENERIC) is suitable for most purposes. Use of an alternative kernel configuration is not recom- mended. First, review the system message buffer using the dmesg(8) command to find out information on your system's devices as probed by the kernel at boot. In particular, note which devices were not configured. This infor- mation will prove useful when editing kernel configuration files. To compile a kernel inside a writable source tree, do the following: # cd /usr/src/sys/arch/somearch/conf # vi SOMEFILE (to make any changes) # config SOMEFILE # cd ../compile/SOMEFILE # make where somearch is the architecture (e.g. i386), and SOMEFILE should be a name indicative of a particular configuration (often that of the host- name). You can also do a make depend so that you will have dependencies there the next time you do a compile. If you are building your kernel again, before you do a make you should do a make depend after making changes (including updates or patches) to your kernel source, or a make clean after making changes to your kernel op- tions. After either of these two methods, you can place the new kernel (called bsd) in / (i.e. /bsd) and the system will boot it next time. Most people save their backup kernels as /bsd.1, /bsd.2, etc. It is not always necessary to recompile the kernel if only configuration changes are required. With config(8), you can change the device confi- guration in the kernel file directly: # config -e -o bsd.new /bsd OpenBSD 2.7-beta (GENERIC.rz0) #0: Mon Oct 4 03:57:22 MEST 1999 root@winona:/usr/src/sys/arch/pmax/compile/GENERIC.rz0 Enter 'help' for information ukc> Additionally, you can permanently save the changes made with UKC during boot time in the kernel image.

Anonymous Participant Who Drew Attention To Steubenville Rape May Face More Years In Jail Than Rapists
from the that-doesn't-seem-right deptAs many of you know, one aspect of the infamous Steubenville rape case was that Anonymous drove a lot of attention to the case, and some participants hacked a website that was a "fan page" for the high school football team, which had two members convicted of the rape, and demanded apologies from those trying to cover up the story, and then leaked some video. That hack and demand actually helped generate significantly more media attention to the case. Now, however, one participant of Anonymous (they don't really have "members" since there's nothing to "join") who had helped publicize the case (though, he claims, did not hack the site) has revealed himself as Deric Lostutter, after a SWAT team raided his house, and he may be facing significantly more time in jail than the rapists.
If convicted of hacking-related crimes, Lostutter could face up to 10 years behind bars—far more than the one- and two-year sentences doled out to the Steubenville rapists. Defending himself could end up costing a fortune—he's soliciting donations here. Still, he thinks getting involved was worth it. "I'd do it again," he says.Once again, as if it needs to be repeated, the CFAA is completely broken.
Separately, the raid of his house seems like yet another extreme overreaction:
At first, he thought the FBI agent at the door was with FedEx. "As I open the door to greet the driver, approximately 12 FBI SWAT team agents jumped out of the truck, screaming for me to 'Get the fuck down!' with M-16 assault rifles and full riot gear, armed, safety off, pointed directly at my head," Lostutter wrote today on his blog. "I was handcuffed and detained outside while they cleared my house."If you read his full blog post, there are many more descriptions of overreaction from law enforcement (reposted without correcting his typos or grammatical errors):
I was detained on the back patio, I asked if I was going to jail, they said no, they said who are you, I responded KYAnonymous. They asked me a few questions, asked me for my passwords for my account, stated that I could not tell anyone I was raided or I would face additional charges such as "destroying/tampering with evidence". They pulled out ALLEGED emails between me and @justbatcat aka Noah McHugh from Noah's inbox indicating that someone is trying to "sell me down the river". They stated they had been watching me for a long time, prior to Jim Parks, and that I was a good guy, and even joked around a bit about the good things I have done, none the less, sincere or not, They are the FBI and to them I am Anonymous, the embodiment of a dangerous threat according to their m16 assault rifles aimed at me for a computer.So now the FBI is creating chilling effects for those who are seeking to expose and shame those trying to cover up the rape of a minor?
Before they departed, I asked them for names and badge numbers of each involved. I got none of them as I requested and subsequently it took me the better part of a month just to get a phone call returned for the status of my belongings let alone tracking down my case agent to columbus ohio. I asked Agent Bixby (who in all fairness seems to be fighting for me and believes I am a good guy) the status of my belongings and they had no time table, as of this post they are still with the FBI being analyzed. I was emailed their intent to send out a "Target Letter" which means they are going to try to indict me for a Federal Offense, (most likely a felony and two misdemeanors) to a secret Grand Jury of 23 individuals, for which I can not be present to state my side, nor state my innocence.

San Lorenzo fail to lure Coloccini
Newcastle's hopes of keeping hold of captain Fabricio Coloccini have received a major boost after Argentinian club San Lorenzo announced he will not be joining them.
Magpies officials have been locked in talks with Coloccini's representatives this week after the defender stated his desire to return to the club where his father, Osvaldo, is currently a youth coach.
However, on the day Newcastle unveiled new signing Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, seen by many as a potential replacement for Coloccini, San Lorenzo stated via their official Twitter feed that their move for the former Deportivo La Coruna centre-back was off. The Argentinian club tweeted: "Finally, after long negotiations, we announce that Fabricio Coloccini will not join the roster of San Lorenzo."
They added: "It is not possible to release the Newcastle player.. and therefore the club will look for another alternative to strengthen the defence."
Coloccini's future remains unclear given his desire, stated by his father, to return to Argentina for "personal reasons". Newcastle have refused to comment on the situation regarding Coloccini.
But boss Alan Pardew, whose transfer market frustration has significantly eased this week, must now hope he can at least persuade Coloccini to stay at St James's Park until the end of the season.
Former Montpellier captain Yanga-Mbiwa met his new team-mates for the first time on Wednesday after completing his reported £6.7million move from the French club - with more compatriots set to follow. Bordeaux striker Yoan Gouffran and Nancy defender Massadio Haidara are also both poised to confirm deals.
Yanga-Mbiwa insisted he is undaunted at the prospect of swapping reigning Ligue 1 champions Montpellier for a side languishing just two points above the Barclays Premier League relegation zone.
Yanga-Mbiwa said: "I don't think it is a concern at the moment. Newcastle is a massive club and while we are not in an ideal position at the moment, I think we can definitely finish in the top half of the table.
"In the long term people talk about the top four in the Premier League and I think with the players we have got on board and the manager and his ideas, we can definitely close the gap, get in the top six and, in the long term, why not challenge for the title?"

Been there, done that. We are about to do > this all over again (collectively). Also, streaming vs jump memory access, cache thrashing, etc. As I said, nobody unrolls code all the way because extra jumps in code aren't horribly expensive and memory in the past has always been a scarce resource. Make machines with a TB of RAM, however -- quite possibly within 15 years -- and actually increase memory bw anywhere near proportionally -- and new optima may emerge that use much more text/code memory than today's models (mostly established when memory was VERY expensive and inherited from then). This isn't a prediction or anything like it, BTW. I'm not really arguing with Forrest's Law, only that it may be more like Forrest's Transient Rule of Thumb if and as things continue. I'm guessing that there has been an exponential growth rule for the size of all loaded text/code on any given class of system stretching back to antiquity (say, DOS). Data too, but we're not fitting the entire universe of OS and program into 4K to 64K segments any more either. And there is a fairly profound growth law in the number of packages produced not by any single person but by many, many hands. Yes, some of the code is shared, efficiently or not. But as disks get to be "infinite" in size compared to code, as operational memory gets to be "infinite" in size compared to code, one motivation for sharing things goes away. If it is indeed exponential, it's more a question of WHEN Forrest's Law stops working, not if. The same things are all true, by the way, of e.g. the fiction market, or any of the book markets. I just got a Kindle (2) using (of course) Other People's Money, and am facing several mutually contradictory realities. There are tens of thousands of out-of-copyright books (perhaps order of 100,000 total) on some mix of Project Gutenberg and the various other free ebooks sites. There are order of 300,000 titles currently available for the Kindle (although a lot of them are multiple copies of Project Gutenberg books). There are perhaps 500,000 books alleged to be in Google Books, although few of them are complete. There are order of 2,000,000 to 2,500,000 books more or less in print, available one way or another commercially. There are order of 10,000,000 formally published books "in existence" (say, within a factor of two or three of this). These numbers have been stable (except the first few, which are categories that have only recently come into existence) for decades -- a few tens of thousands of new books make the publisher's lists every year, and just as many leave it. Given a mean compressed size of ballpark 250-300 KB per book WITHOUT pictures (empirically true for the books I've gotten already, even including some really long sagas), one might expect to be able to put all of human literature into a few Terabytes, and include all or most of the figures and pictures and accompanying graphics well within 100 TB. That is to say, one could store the essential information content of the Duke library (one of the top 10 or so in the world) on a slightly fat desktop, and include all of the pictures and illustrations on a midsized storage cluster. And in a few more years, the desktop will be able to do it all! The Kindle has around 1.4 GB storage, not expandable (some alternatives accept SD chips and can manage tens of GB). I thought this might be restrictive, but that is maybe 1000-4000 books, depending on how graphical one gets on a system that still sucks for graphics. I read like the wind, I have a personal library of paper books so large I have to keep half of it in storage -- it won't fit in my house. That is to say, around 3000 books. That's an ENORMOUS personal library. My Kindle could eat it without a trace, if all of the titles were available and if they weren't for sale at absurd prices, and it only a second generation product. So right NOW the Kindle has -- for me -- nearly infinite capacity -- it seems difficult for me to imagine filling it at all, let along filling it multiple times, given how cheap I am and unwilling to pay $10/title for ebooks. And yet I will, if I live long enough (fill it, not pay $10/title:-). In fact, as the Kindle itself "grows", as Plastic Logic and the Irex Iliad and the Sony and alternatives not yet invented come online with larger screens, as the screens manage color, as the color screens embrace full color graphics, I'm certain that by the time the Kindle V comes around, with its 250 GB of flash memory and strong saturation of an epublishing business that has to stay too cheap to be worth cracking, my personal ebook will have tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of titles. For one thing, the rate of production of new books will have skyrocketed, as "anyone" can suddenly become an author (this is already happening, on a much smaller scale than youtube but the same general way. For another, all of the out of print books will no longer be out of print -- they'll be in print as POD titles and available as ebooks for prices like $0.25 or $1. Or (eventually) for free, as the universe routes around copyright laws altogether and they are eventually abandoned for some other completely new paradigm. The point being that it is pretty easy to look at any given snapshot of the infotech revolution and conclude that there is an "infinite" capacity represented there already, that we'll never need any more. And then tech pushes the capacity past that point, the market adjusts and changes the way that it works to use the capacity (sometimes undergoing a paradigm shift to do so, not just supply/demand adjustments) and three years later people are moaning about how old/slow/small systems are and how much they need new/fast/big replacements. And they're RIGHT. They DO need them. I've got a genuine IBM PC motherboard squirrelled away upstairs for anyone who thinks otherwise. rgb > > > > -- > Joseph Landman, Ph.D > Founder and CEO > Scalable Informatics LLC, > email: landman at scalableinformatics.com > web : http://www.scalableinformatics.com > http://jackrabbit.scalableinformatics.com > phone: +1 734 786 8423 x121 > fax : +1 866 888 3112 > cell : +1 734 612 4615 > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit > http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > Robert G.

A week that has included six tornadoes in downstate New York and Connecticut will end the way it started with new rounds of rain, and some heavy downpours, for a storm-weary region.
A cloudy day Friday with a high temperature around 60 will turn into a wet one before nightfall with showers expected late in the afternoon and continuing overnight with up to a half-inch of rainfall possible. The heaviest rain will be south of New York City on Friday.
Rain arrives Saturday, on a day in which the high temperature will again be around 60. Look for thunderstorms with heavy downpours late Saturday night through the day Sunday.
Sunday's high temperature will be in the upper 70s.
This stormy stretch will come to an end Monday with the return of an old friend: the sun. At least at times, with partly sunny skies and a high in the upper-70s.

Stability of the Relativistic Electron-Positron Field of Atoms in Hartree-Fock Approximation: Heavy Elements
We show that the modulus of the Coulomb Dirac operator with a sufficiently small coupling constant bounds the modulus of the free Dirac operator from above up to a multiplicative constant depending on the product of the nuclear charge and the electronic charge. This bound sharpens a result of Bach et al \cite{Bachetal1999} and allows to prove the positivity of the relativistic electron-positron field of an atom in Hartree-Fock approximation for all elements occurring in nature.

South Jersey Town Named The Most Boring City in New Jersey
A large real estate website has named a town in South Jersey as the most boring city in New Jersey. Do you agree?
Movoto.com has named Pleasantville as the most boring city in the entire state of New Jersey. They assembled this list based on nightlife options (comedy clubs, bars. etc.), live music venues, outdoor activities, restaurants, and other factors. All combined, the website says:
This is one of the smaller spots we looked at, and in this case, small town relaxation meant bigtime boredom. Pleasantville had terrible scores in non-fast food restaurants, population density, and even arts. The scores in active life options, music venues, and nightlife also ranked very poorly.
Sure, this place is pleasant, as the name suggests. It's quiet, peaceful, and friendly. But if you're looking to go out at night, indulge in some culture, or get active, you've definitely got to go to more exciting places nearby.
Now, let's be fair. Pleasantville is in the shadow of the glitz of Atlantic City -- Atlantic City attracts world-class musical acts in 5,000-seat arenas, has some of the best restaurants on the East Coast, clubs that rival those found in big cities, and that weird art thing in the middle of the city. Any major brands, clubs, or restaurants are naturally going to want to be associated with the big-name casinos in Atlantic City where thousands of people already are. Is Pleasantville the most boring place in the state? No way.
And in case you are wondering, Toms River was ranked the fifth most boring city in the state, Vineland is #11, Millville is #13, Camden is #26, and Atlantic City is ranked 47th. And let me make this observation: the number of boring towns in North Jersey is much, much higher than the number of boring South Jersey towns on this list.
What do you think? What would you say is the most boring town in the state? Let us know in the comments section below...

My main interest is long arm quilting and in particular free hand customised quilting. I have a Handiquilter Infinity. I do NOT have a Pro stitcher. I love ruler work and planning out my own designs, which is usually drawn out to full scale on paper before I do the quilting. I also love doing wholecloth quilts.
I also love hand sewing, and usually have at least one hand sewing project on the go. At the moment I am working on a 1/2" hexagon paper pieced quilt for a king size bed, and I have recently finished a Dutch Treat quilt (196 4" blocks, all reverse hand appliqu?©). I also love appliqu?©, in particular hand appliqu?©. My favourite piecing is foundation piecing and the next step forward for me is to design my own patterns.
I have entered my first competition quilt into Malvern in 2014, "Kutch Diamonds", for which I have been awarded Best in show. In 2015 I came second in bed quilts at Malvern with "Whistler: Fire and Ice" and first in theme quilts with "When rainbows dance" and first in theme category for "Gabi's quilt at Sandown.
I entered "The trouble with magenta, hot or not" into the World quilt show in 2015 and was awarded Best from UK. When I entered "Kutch Diamonds" into world show in 2016, I was awarded 2nd place in traditional category. "The trouble with magenta, hot or not" was awarded best in traditional category at FoQ in 2017 and I came 1st in traditional category with "Nostalgia" at the World quilt show in 2017.
I have started the Quilter's Guild judging course early in 2017. My blog is not fully up to date, but I am working on that and should hopefully soon have more time to keep it up to date.
My blog is at http://byannelize.blogspot.co.uk.

What is this test?
This test detects occult (hidden) blood in stool. This test is used to evaluate and manage gastrointestinal disorders and cancers of the rectum and colon[1][2].
What are other names for this test?
- Faecal occult blood test
- FOBT - Faecal occult blood test
- FOBT - Fecal occult blood test
What are related tests?
- Stool culture
- Colonoscopy
- Endoscopy
Why do I need this test?
Laboratory tests may be done for many reasons. Tests are performed for routine health screenings or if a disease or toxicity is suspected. Lab tests may be used to determine if a medical condition is improving or worsening. Lab tests may also be used to measure the success or failure of a medication or treatment plan. Lab tests may be ordered for professional or legal reasons. The following are possible reasons why this test may be done:
- Cancer of the colon or rectum
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- IBS - Irritable bowel syndrome
- Infectious diarrheal disease
When and how often should I have this test?
When and how often laboratory tests are done may depend on many factors. The timing of laboratory tests may rely on the results or completion of other tests, procedures, or treatments. Lab tests may be performed immediately in an emergency, or tests may be delayed as a condition is treated or monitored. A test may be suggested or become necessary when certain signs or symptoms appear.
Due to changes in the way your body naturally functions through the course of a day, lab tests may need to be performed at a certain time of day. If you have prepared for a test by changing your food or fluid intake, lab tests may be timed in accordance with those changes. Timing of tests may be based on increased and decreased levels of medications, drugs or other substances in the body.
The age or gender of the person being tested may affect when and how often a lab test is required. Chronic or progressive conditions may need ongoing monitoring through the use of lab tests. Conditions that worsen and improve may also need frequent monitoring. Certain tests may be repeated to obtain a series of results, or tests may need to be repeated to confirm or disprove results. Timing and frequency of lab tests may vary if they are performed for professional or legal reasons.
How should I get ready for the test?
Before giving a stool sample, tell the healthcare worker if you have diarrhea or are using antibiotics, barium, bismuth, oil, iron, magnesium, or medication to stop diarrhea.
Ask your healthcare worker if changes to your diet are necessary before stool samples are collected for this test[3].
How is the test done?
For a stool sample, you will be asked to have a bowel movement into a special container. Avoid adding urine, water, tissues, or toilet paper to the stool sample.
How will the test feel?
The amount of discomfort you feel will depend on many factors, including your sensitivity to pain. Communicate how you are feeling with the person doing the test. Inform the person doing the test if you feel that you cannot continue with the test.
This test usually causes no discomfort.
What should I do after the test?
After giving a stool sample in a healthcare facility, close the container if it has a lid, and place the container where the healthcare worker instructed. Clean your hands with soap and water. If you have been asked to collect the stool sample while at home, follow the directions provided.
What are the risks?
Stool: Giving a stool sample is generally considered safe. Talk to your healthcare worker if you have questions or concerns about this test.
What are normal results for this test?
Laboratory test results may vary depending on your age, gender, health history, the method used for the test, and many other factors. If your results are different from the results suggested below, this may not mean that you have a disease. Contact your healthcare worker if you have any questions. The following is considered to be a normal result for this test:
- Adults and children: Negative for occult blood [4]
What follow up should I do after this test?
Ask your healthcare worker how you will be informed of the test results. You may be asked to call for results, schedule an appointment to discuss results, or notified of results by mail. Follow up care varies depending on many factors related to your test. Sometimes there is no follow up after you have been notified of test results. At other times follow up may be suggested or necessary. Some examples of follow up care include changes to medication or treatment plans, referral to a specialist, more or less frequent monitoring, and additional tests or procedures. Talk with your healthcare worker about any concerns or questions you have regarding follow up care or instructions.
Where can I get more information?

The uncomfortable offseason in Dallas continues. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that coach Jason Garrett will no longer hold the offensive play-calling duties.
Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com passes along word straight from Jones at the Senior Bowl, where Jones announced that Garrett will no longer call plays. Jones strongly intimated that offensive line coach/coordinator Bill Callahan will call the plays moving forward. Multiple Cowboys reporters said Callahan will be the play-caller, although that's not officially confirmed. (We'll assume that Callahan won't sabotage things.)
"When he became head coach, it was at my insistence that he continued to call the plays, and I felt that philosophically ... It was not at Jason's insistence," Jones said. "So if we make a change there, it will be more of a concession on my part to go forward with a little different procedure."
And later: "It's not a step back for Jason. It's actually a step forward for Jason in my mind.
"It is not a step back for the Cowboys or a step back individually for him to change the way we basically are putting our game plan together or are calling the plays on the offensive side of the ball. As you well know, differences in opinion can frankly be a step in a better direction."
That's spin if we ever heard it. It's a step back for Garrett. He said publicly he planned to keep calling plays and wanted to do so. Now Jones is telling him it's not going to happen. Multiple reports suggested after the season that Jones was looking around the league for a play-caller to take that duty off Garrett's plate so he could focus on "managing" the team. Instead of hiring from the outside, the Cowboys will give Callahan more responsibilities.
It makes no sense on a number of levels. Essentially, Jones is neutering his head coach. Callahan doesn't have a long history as a play-caller and is more familiar with the running game. It's almost like he's trying to make Garrett quit.
Jones went into the offseason wanting change for the sake of change. Monte Kiffin was a curious hire as defensive coordinator. If Jones wanted to go this far, he should have just fired Garrett at the end of the season.
