The beauty of a New Year is that it starts with a clean slate. I hate to pull out the "b" word, but now's the perfect time to evaluate your budget and get your finances shaped up for 2012. First order of business—take inventory.
- Know your credit score. A good credit score can save you tens of thousands of dollars over your lifetime. AnnualCreditReport.com is the only truly free credit reporting website. Check your report regularly (you get up to three free credit reports a year) and dispute any errors.
- Evaluate your credit card terms. High interest rates? Call your credit card companies and ask if they'll lower them. If they say no, shop for lower-interest credit cards with no or low balance transfer fees.
- Track your spending. For one week, write down everything you buy, even the small stuff. This will help you identify places where you can trim expenses.
- Calculate your debt. If you went over budget during the holidays, your credit card bills may shock you. That's okay—just figure out how to make bigger payments. Skipping your daily latte may help you pay that balance off faster.
- Be smart about credit card rewards programs. They can work to your advantage with air miles, money for college or even cash back. But, if you don't pay off your balance each month, interest charges will negate the value of rewards.
Now that you know where you are, the next step is to plan where you're headed. Check back tomorrow—we'll give you some ideas on how to save more money in 2012.

Free Press award-winning columnist Jon Dawson recycles a popular Kinston Christmas poem
Usually, whenever somebody decides to improve on something that already works fine, the results can be disastrous: New Coke, pink John Deere hats or gravy-flavored Crest immediately comes to mind. Other times, the original can be improved upon: Peanut M&Ms, Doctor Who and Cher.
This little ditty was originally published in The Free Press on Dec. 11, 2008. The intervening years have been a bit of a roller coaster for my family. We�ve gained a Tax Deduction, lost a dog and replaced a couple of 18-year-old cars with a few six-year old cars.
Please don�t bring us a dog, though. We�re in the process of working the ninja out of this second Tax Deduction � one crisis at a time.
To date, Tax Deduction No. 1 and No. 2 have proven to be valuable members of our family � especially every year around April 15. Depending on which ravine we land in after going over the so called �fiscal cliff,� they may become as relevant as a Beta max VCR.
They do have their moments though. A few weeks ago, the youngest one asked where biscuits came from, so naturally, I told her they came from hibiscus flowers.
Right now, I�m heading outside to stable bits of biscuit to my wife�s award winning hibiscus flowers � all in the name of adding to a child�s sense of wonder during the Christmas season.
And now, our feature presentation:
�Twas the night before Christmas, when all throughout Kinston
The wallets were starving from money gone missing.
The credit cards were maxed-out with nary a care
In hopes the Prize Patrol soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
While their parents scratched lottery tickets till their fingers bled.
And Mama in her bathrobe, and I in my chaps
Had just settled down for a long winter�s nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I searched through the house for a ball peen hammer.
Away to the window I flew like a flash
Flung open the door and hid all my cash.
The moon on the driveway of a midnight frost
Gave the luster of an oil leak from an oil pan of rust.
When, what to my crustated eyes should appear
But a repo man, with car jackin� gear.
With a scary old scalp, so slimy and slick
Surely he came for my treasured Crown Vic.
More rabid than badgers the payments were due
With each payment, I wrote such a note:
�I don�t have it all, but I�ll get it soon!�
�My workman�s comp case will surely balloon!�
To the top of the porch I sang with my all:
�Now go away! Go away! Go away all!�
But with a set of keys from the dealership on his finger
He drove off into the night, he did not linger.
As I cried in my hands, and was turning around
Down the chimney, St. Holmes came with a bound.
He was dressed in red spandex, from his head to his foot
His nametag read �Patrick,� all covered in soot.
He summoned me closer, to ask me a question
�Do you have any Tums? I�ve got indigestion.�
With a cure in his tummy, he walked out of sight
With � to my chagrin � my kiddy�s new bike.
If that weren�t enough to steal our elation
On the door was a notice about annexation.
The council decided our land should be theirs
Which meant our taxes would climb like the stairs.
�It�s time to move,� Daddy said with a holler
�These people won�t rest till they have every dollar!�

Restaurant Industry Safety & Health
Restaurant workers comprise one of the largest groups of workers injured in the U.S. each year. This can expose them to many job-related hazards that may cause serious injuries and illnesses affecting their lives, income, and family members. All restaurants, from full-service to limited-service restaurants, cafeterias, caterers, food service contractors, and drinking establishments, must follow Accident Prevention Program (APP) rules to address all potential workplace hazards. The ultimate goal of your APP (or Safety Plan, or whatever term you use in your workplace) is to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses. Prevention begins with identifying possible hazards and finding solutions that eliminate or control hazards.
Preventing workplace injuries and illnesses makes good business sense. Costs associated with such injuries and illnesses can be devastating to workers and businesses. With a strong APP in place, you can focus your efforts on making your business grow.

TPWD Adopts Rules to Curb Spread of Exotic Species
AUSTIN –The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission adopted new rules designed to prevent further spread of exotic aquatic species into Texas waterways as part of the 2012-12 Statewide Fishing Proclamation.
The changes require anglers and boaters to take action to prevent the spread of zebra mussels, and silver and bighead carp. The new regulations prohibit the transport of live, non-game fishes from the Red River below Lake Texoma downstream to the Arkansas border, Big Cypress Bayou downstream of Ferrell's Bridge Dam on Lake O' the Pines (including the Texas waters of Caddo Lake), and the Sulphur River downstream of the Lake Wright Patman dam. Collection and use of nongame fishes for bait on those water bodies would still be legal.
In addition, as a precaution against incidental transfer of zebra mussels larvae known as veligers, the Commission approved rules exempting boaters from the application of certain exotic species regulations provided all bait buckets, live wells, bilges, and any other receptacles, containers, or systems that could contain water are emptied prior to departure from following designated water bodies. This regulation applies to the Red River from the I-44 bridge in Wichita County downstream to the Arkansas border including all Texas waters of Lake Texoma and Lake Lavon. Travel on a public roadway from one access area to another on the same water body without draining or emptying water is allowed. Following these procedures does not exempt persons from complying with prohibitions against transporting exotic species that are visible to the unaided eye, such as adult zebra mussels, which may be attached to boats or trailers.
In addition, the Commission adopted a series of fishing regulation adjustments aimed at improving angler opportunities, including limiting the number of fishing devices that can be used on state park lakes and easing restrictions on largemouth bass length limits on certain lakes. The new changes include:
- Change minimum length limit for largemouth bass back to the statewide 14-inch limit on three reservoirs: Aquilla Reservoir (Hill County); Lake Fort Phantom Hill (Jones County); and Lake Proctor (Comanche County);
- Change daily bag limit for striped bass back to the statewide five fish limit on Possum Kingdom Reservoir (Palo Pinto County);
- Implement an 18-inch minimum length limit and five-fish daily bag for largemouth bass and prohibit use of juglines, trotlines, and throwlines on Lake Naconiche (Nacogdoches County), a reservoir that will open to angling Sept. 1, 2012;
- Restrict the number of fishing poles (to two) that a person may use simultaneously while fishing from a dock, pier, jetty, or other man-made structure in a state park;
- Require gear tags for throwlines and minnow traps in fresh water;
- Reduce the time limit for re-dating gear tags for most devices from 30 days to 10 days; and
- Change age for license exemption from 64 to 65 for Oklahoma residents fishing in Texas to conform to recent changes in Oklahoma.
- Clarify regulation regarding the take of fish in the event of a freeze closure to make it clear that when closed take is not allowed with rod-n-reel, dip nets or any means.

VIENNA (Reuters) – A new film based on the story of Austrian kidnap victim Natascha Kampusch shows her being repeatedly raped by the captor who beat and starved her during the eight-and-a-half years that he kept her in a cellar beneath his house.
Kampusch was snatched on her way to school at the age of 10 by Wolfgang Priklopil and held in a windowless cell under his garage near Vienna until she escaped in 2006, causing a sensation in Austria and abroad. Priklopil committed suicide.
Kampusch had always refused to respond to claims that she had had sex with Priklopil, but in a German television interview on her 25th birthday last week said she had decided to reveal the truth because it had leaked out from police files.
The film, "3,096 Days" – based on Kampusch's autobiography of the same name – soberly portrays her captivity in a windowless cellar less than 6 square metres (65 square feet) in area, often deprived of food for days at a time.
The emaciated Kampusch – who weighed just 38 kg (84 pounds) at one point in 2004 – keeps a diary written on toilet paper concealed in a box.
One entry reads: "At least 60 blows in the face. Ten to 15 nausea-inducing fist blows to the head. One strike with the fist with full weight to my right ear."
The movie shows occasional moments that approach tenderness, such as when Priklopil presents her with a cake for her 18th birthday or buys her a dress as a gift – but then immediately goes on to chide her for not knowing how to waltz with him.
Antonia Campbell-Hughes, who plays the teenaged Kampusch, said she had tried to portray "the strength of someone's soul, the ability of people to survive… but also the grey areas within a relationship that people don't necessarily understand."
The British actress said she had not met Kampusch during the making of the film or since. "It was a very isolated time, it was a bubble of time, and I wanted to keep that very focused," she told journalists as she arrived for the Vienna premiere.
Kampusch herself attended the premiere, looking composed as she posed for pictures but declining to give interviews.
In an interview with Germany's Bild Zeitung last week, she said: "Yes, I did recognize myself, although the reality was even worse. But one can't really show that in the cinema, since it wasn't supposed to be a horror film."
The movie, made at the Constantin Film studios in Bavaria, Germany, also stars Amy Pidgeon as the 10-year-old Kampusch and Danish actor Thure Lindhardt as Priklopil.
"I focused mainly on playing the human being because… we have to remember it was a human being. Monsters do not exist, they're only in cartoons," Lindhart said.
"It became clear to me that it's a story about survival, and it's a story about surviving eight years of hell. If that story can be told then I can also play the bad guy."
The director was German-American Sherry Hormann, who made her English-language debut with the 2009 move "Desert Flower", an adaptation of the autobiography of Somali-born model and anti-female circumcision activist Waris Dirie.
"I'm a mother and I wonder at the strength of this child, and it was important for me to tell this story from a different perspective, to tell how this child using her own strength could survive this atrocious martyrdom," Hormann said.
The Kampusch case was followed two years later by that of Josef Fritzl, an Austrian who held his daughter captive in a cellar for 24 years and fathered seven children with her.
The crimes prompted soul-searching about the Austrian psyche, and questions as to how the authorities and neighbors could have let such crimes go undetected for so long.
The film goes on general release on Thursday.

Mount St. Mary's beats St. Francis 83-77
LORETTO, Pa. (AP) Sam Prescott had a season-high 25 points with a big 3-pointer in the final minute to lift Mount St. Mary's over St. Francis (Pa.) 83-77 on Thursday night.
The Mount (7-11, 3-2 Northeast Conference) was leading 74-71 when Prescott nailed a 3 as the shot clock expired to extend the Mountaineers lead to six with 40 seconds left.
The Red Flash cut the deficit to four on three separate occasions, but the Mount answered each time by making both of its free throws.
Gregory Graves had career-high 17 points for the Mount which was 8 of 18 from 3-point range. Byron Ashe added 12 points and Taylor Danaher chipped in 11.
Earl Brown had 30 points to lead the Red Flash which shot 54.1 percent from the field, but just 3 of 14 from 3-point range. Greg Brown added 10 points for St. Francis (3-15, 1-4).

* Cotton Ball Sushi Craft
My sweet 5 year old, "C" came up with this fun little craft last weekend
and had so much fun making cotton ball sushi with her sister and a friend,
that I had to share them with the rest of you!
The ingredients for this project were in our art studio and medicine closet!
The girls cut scraps of felt and attached them to cotton balls
with bits of skinny black masking tape.
If you don't have masking tape,
you could use electrical tape (but be warned, it is VERY sticky!),
Washi tape,
or glue some black satin ribbon around the project.
These were so easy to make and they're adorable.
The girls are making Bento boxes for their play kitchen - I love it when
they get crafty and make their own toys.
The best part, is that they came up with the project on their own.
Wishing you all a crafty and fun-filled weekend!

Here's a guy with a constant sugar rush.
I love the giant man hand.
When real life invades the cartoon universe it's always huge.
Except for the real life products which are tiny so that cartoon characters can consume them.
I'd like to make a commercial where the real life humans are small and the cartoon characters are giant voracious beasts that consume us when they run out of metabolism-boosting sugary cereal.
What a handsome box! I can't find a full picture of one...

Alonzo Booth is hoping the Football University Top Gun Camp will help him reach his dream of playing football collegiately and professionally.
Alonzo Booth is hoping the Football University Top Gun Camp will help him reach his dream of playing football collegiately and professionally.
Booth, who will be a freshman at Canal Winchester High School, was one of about 750 athletes invited to participate in the high school portion of the camp held July 18-20 at Dublin Jerome. An invitation-only camp for about 750 players in grades six through eight was held July 22-24 at Jerome.
At 6-foot and 230 pounds, Booth expects to play running back and defensive back for the Indians.
"I want to play for the Florida Gators," he said. "I've wanted to play in college for a long time. Since I started playing football I wanted to play in college and then the NFL."
He said the camp should give him an advantage once the high school preseason begins.
Booth participated in his third Top Gun Camp, as he previously trained in Cleveland and Williamsburg, Va.
"This is my third year and every year I've made Top Gun," he said. "You always have expectations and you have to set them high. This gets you set up for what's coming next."
The camp included athletes from about 40 states, along with participants from Canada, Ireland and Japan, according to Dan Romanowski, director of media relations.
The first Top Gun Camp, held in Paisley, Fla., in 2008, attracted about 80 athletes and included future University of Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley, according to Romanowski. Barkley was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth round of this year's NFL draft.
Athletes earned invitations to the camp through regional camps held throughout the country, including June 7-9 at Dublin Scioto. The Top Gun Camp cost participants $649.
Garrett Smith, who will be a junior at Jerome, participated with Celtics coach Mark Hundley looking on July 18.
"I learned a lot during the film-watching," said Smith, who plays running back and defensive back. "I learned all the coverages. I just want to get better. That's what I came out here to do."
Gavin Rodriguez, who will be a sophomore quarterback at DeSales, is a move-in from Canada.
"It's been a good experience playing with the top athletes in the country," he said. "Coming from Canada, there's a big jump on how people take it and the athleticism of the players."
Drew Hodgson, who will be a freshman at Dublin Coffman, was hoping the camp would help him improve his technique as a quarterback in coach Mark Crabtree's program.
"I want to get more experience," Hodgson said.
The camp also helps introduce athletes and their parents to the collegiate recruiting process. Organizers educate and connect the campers with their database of college coaches.
The camp focuses exclusively on technique training and does not require full pads. There are no full-contact drills, but offensive and defensive linemen do some skill and technique drills in which they engage in contact at full speed. During those drills, the players wear helmets for safety.
The camps also feature classroom work to help instruct technique.
"We run this for the full experience and it's not just for the athletes," said Joe Bouffard, director of marketing relations. "It's for the parents also. We have seminars that educate the parents on the recruiting process, the nutrition process and then things for the athletes -- character building, leadership, the mental aspect of playing the game. It's not all just physical and great technique."
The training staff for the high school camp was made up of about 50 current and former NFL coaches and players, as well coaches from the collegiate level.
The coaching staff included former professional quarterbacks Jeff Rutledge, Chris Miller and Sean Salisbury, wide receivers Billy Johnson, Fred Barnett and Harold Jackson, running backs LaMont Jordan and Lorenzo Neal and defensive back Ray Buchanan.
Former Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson and former UCLA running back Johnathan Franklin helped kick off the camp July 18 by greeting the athletes and posing for photos, and providing insight during the opening ceremony.
"This is what I did. I tried to train when no one else was training," said Robinson, who set Michigan's all-time record for total yards on offense and was drafted this year by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the fifth round. "I wanted to be the best. I wanted to go out to the camps and show that I was one of the best in the country. (These players) are the future."
Franklin, who was drafted in the fourth round this year by the Green Bay Packers, holds UCLA's career rushing record.
"It's always good when you're a kid to see somebody who was in your position and reach the highest level, which is the NFL," Franklin said. "It's always good to come back and encourage the younger guys that they can do it because I was in your position."

Newspaper spanks Obama: 'Shove it, Mr. President'
Editors scorch 'umpteenth different' jobs plan
A newspaper editorial today greeted Barack Obama in an entirely new way as he traveled to Chattanooga, Tenn., to visit an Amazon.com business center and lobby for his newest strategy to try to create jobs for Americans.
"Take your jobs plan and shove it, Mr. President: Your policies have harmed Chattanooga enough," said a commentary in the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
"Forgive us if you are not greeted with the same level of Southern hospitality that our area usually bestows on its distinguished guests. You see, we understand you are in town to share your umpteenth different job creation plan during your time in office. If it works as well as your other job creation programs, then thanks, but no thanks. We'd prefer you keep it to yourself," the newspaper said.
"That's because your jobs creation plans so far have included a ridiculous government spending spree and punitive tax increase on job creators that were passed, as well as a minimum wage increase that, thankfully, was not. Economists – and regular folks with a basic understanding of math – understand that these are three of the most damaging policies imaginable when a country is mired in unemployment and starving for job growth."
At Amazon's Chattanooga fulfillment center, Obama praised the operation for being "kind of like the North Pole of the south right here. … Got a bunch of good-looking elves here."
He boasted of creating "7.2 million new jobs over the last 40 months" because of the "grit and resilience of the American people."
"But as I said last week, and as any middle-class family will tell you, we're not there yet," Obama said. "Even before the financial crisis hit, we were going through a decade where a few at the top were doing better and better, but most families were working harder and harder just to get by. And reversing that trend should be Washington's highest priority."
He said he wanted to lay out his ideas for creating good jobs but lamented that the Republicans in Congress wouldn't give him everything he asked for.
Obama cited a strategy to offer incentives for manufacturers to keep jobs in the U.S. or bring them back from overseas, spending billions to catch up on "deferred maintenance" in the U.S., creating jobs in wind, solar, and natural gas industries, and exporting more.
He also said he wants corporations to hire more people.
"We're not lacking for ideas, we're just lacking action, especially out of Washington," Obama said.
The newspaper noted "64 percent of Chattanooga respondents said they would rather you hadn't chosen to visit our fair city," but the editorial said it actually was good that Obama visited.
"It will give you an opportunity to see the failure of your most comprehensive jobs plan to date, the disastrous stimulus scheme, up close and personal," the newspaper said.
The commentary cited the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009's funding of the "Gig to Nowhere."
That's a $552 million "socialist-style experiment in government-owned Internet, cable and phone services orchestrated by EPB – Chattanooga's government-owned electric monopoly."
"The Gig to Nowhere is a Smart Grid, a high tech local electricity infrastructure intended to improve energy efficiency and reduce power outages. After lobbying for, and receiving, $111.6 million in stimulus money from your administration, EPB decided to build a souped-up version of the Smart Grid with fiber optics rather than more cost-effective wireless technology. This decision was supposed to allow EPB to provide the fastest Internet service in the Western Hemisphere, a gigabit-per-second Internet speed that would send tech companies and web entrepreneurs stampeding to Chattanooga in droves."
The reality, however, is that the project is "an absolute bust."
"While the Smart Grid will cost taxpayers and local electric customers well over a half-billion dollars when all is said and done, there has been little improvement in the quality of EPB's electric service. Worse, despite being heavily subsidized, EPB's government-owned Internet, cable and telephone outfit that competes head-to-head against private companies like AT&T and Comcast is barely staying afloat, often relying on loans from electric service reserve funds to afford its business expenses," the newspaper pointed out.
"Further, there has been no credible evidence to suggest that EPB can even provide a gig of service consistently and reliably. Any companies hoping to utilize the Gig to Nowhere are quoted monthly billing costs that make the service unfeasible. As a result, Chattanooga has remained a relative ghost town for technological innovation. Almost no economic development whatsoever has resulted from the gig," the newspaper said.
The newspaper said what the government program has achieved is a "shocking price tag."
"Because of your unwillingness to balance the budget, Mr. President, the $111.6 million federal handout to subsidize the Gig to Nowhere will actually cost federal taxpayers $158.2 million, due to interest. Once EPB received the stimulus infusion to fund the pork project, the electric monopoly took out a $219.8 bond that will balloon to $391.3 million by the time Chattanoogans are done paying it off.
"The bond's first payment comes due this fall and there remain significant questions about how EPB can manage to pay the debt without hiking electric rates on EPB customers," the newspaper said. "Building a Smart Grid to get into a telecom sector already well-served by private companies was a bad idea from the start. But getting government involved in places it doesn't belong is a hallmark of your administration."
Obama's explained his newest strategy is a plan that "simplifies the tax code for our businesses and creates good jobs with good wages."
He said he would be willing to consider tax code reform – but only if it allows the government "to use money from transitioning to a simpler tax system for a significant investment in creating middle-class jobs."

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) Kareem Jamar had 23 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds to lead Montana to a 76-71 overtime victory against Montana State on Saturday night.
Will Cherry had 14 points and seven rebounds for the Grizzlies (12-4, 8-0 Big Sky), who gave coach Wayne Tinkle his 74th conference win, a school record.
Mike Weisner drilled a 3-pointer for Montana with three seconds remaining in regulation to tie the game at 66-all and force the extra period. The Grizzlies scored the first six points of overtime and protected the cushion at the free-throw line.
Christian Moon scored 14 points and Flavien Davis 12 for the Bobcats (6-9, 3-4).
Tinkle's win eclipsed the mark held by Mike Montgomery, who after coaching the Grizzlies from 1979-86 went on to Stanford, then the NBA's Golden State Warriors. Montgomery currently coach at California.

Wordless Wednesday -- Piggotts During Harvest 1917
2 comments:
This is an amazing photograph, with only hay (or straw) surrounding them. I think it's interesting that the women are smiling, but the men are not (or maybe it's a half-smile). I also notice that two of the men have on jackets and vests! Do you have any details about this photo? Great photo!ReplyDelete
Unfortunately I have no details about this picture. My uncle just emailed it to me a couple of weeks ago. It came from a photo album that belonged to my great grandmother (the one wearing the apron). She had all the photos labeled on the back, and then she glued them all in the album (oops). Her niece, my new found cousin, went through the album and redid it labeling the photos underneath and unfortunately all the labeling that grandma Hazel did was hard to read after being glued to something so she could only label the ones that she knew.ReplyDelete
I have been searching for a photo of the two men wearing vests for quite a while. They are the half brothers to my 2nd great-grandma Piggott and the uncles of great-grandpa Piggott (the one in the middle). They are the Taylor brothers and unfortunately I don't know which one is which.

OnlineGlom Deployment
OnlineGlom really isn't ready for deployment, but you can try it locally. Nevertheless, here are some deployment instructions so that it's documented as the development progresses.
We will install OnlineGlom in a Tomcat server. The instructions for installing tomcat are beyond the scope of this document. However, this might help on Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/tomcat.html
On Ubuntu, you will need these packages on the server: tomcat, postgresql, openjdk6-jdk, libglom-1.20.
TODO: Use openjdk6-jre instead of openjdk6-jdk when gwt-glom is packaged instead of needing to be built.
Also, the glom-utils package might be useful to deploy Glom example files. You should not need the glom package.
.glom file and configuration
These instructions assume that you have a PostgreSQL setup on your server with your glom database already loaded.
- The first thing you need to do is scp your .glom file to your server.
- Now set your PostgreSQL username, password and the location of the glom file in the OnlineGlom configuration properties file:
Deploying java-libglom
For Ubuntu Oneiric, we have a libjava-libglom-java package but we have not yet confirmed that this works for deployment. For now, you should build from source.
NOTE: This assumes that the server has the same architecture and installed dependencies as your local machine.
You must build java-libglom in your home directory on your server. However, you don't need to install the jar into a local maven repository so you don't need to install maven2 with apt-get and you do not need to specify --enable-maven-install to configure.
Using jhbuild
With jhbuild, you could do this:
- Copy java-libglom.modules to your home directory and edit it to remove this string:
- Edit ~/.jhbuildrc and change the moduleset option to the location of the java-libglom.modules file you just copied into your home directory. Change this line:
moduleset = 'http://gitorious.org/online-glom/java-libglom/blobs/raw/master/tools/build/java-libglom.modules'
- to this:
moduleset = 'file://' + os.path.expanduser('~/java-libglom.modules')
- If you've already setup java-libglom and you just want to use the latest version from git master, run this set of commands:
jhbuild cleanone java-libglom && jhbuild buildone java-libglom
Configuring Tomcat
- Tomcat needs to be able to "see" the .so from java-libglom. Therefore, unless you are using a java-libglom package, which places the .so file in /usr/lib, you may need to edit /etc/default/tomcat6 and add the absolute path to the directory that has the java-libglom .so. This is apparently necessary even if you installed the .so file to /usr/local/lib.
Look for 'java.library.path' and add '/home/yourusername/gnome/install/lib64' to the first entry of that setting. Here's how that setting might look on an example server:
JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -Djava.library.path=/home/ben/gnome/install/lib64:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/server:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/../lib/amd64:/usr/java/packages/lib/amd64:/usr/lib/jni:/lib:/usr/lib"
You only need to configure tomcat like this once. NOTE: This is a big hack that will go away when java-libglom packages show up for various Linux distros.
Once tomcat is configured, copy the java-libglom jar in the tomcat lib directory. Since java-libglom uses jni it can only be loaded once and must not be included in the war. The proper place for it is $CATALINA_HOME/lib which is defined as /usr/share/tomcat6/lib/ on Ubuntu 10.04. More information about this issue can be found in the Tomcat 6 release notes in the "JNI Based Applications" section:
- http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/RELEASE-NOTES.txt
- This is the command to run to copy the jar in into the correct directory:
sudo cp ~/gnome/install/share/java/java-libglom-0.1.jar /usr/share/tomcat6/lib/
Deploying gwt-glom
- Alright stop. It's compile time! These instructions assume your in the gwt-glom directory.
- Clean-out the target directory:
rm -rf target/* target/.*
- This isn't always necessary but I do it every time because I've encountered too many problems with mismatched GWT versions.
- Now compile the Java code, run the GWT to Javascript compilation and package up the war:
mvn clean package
- And scp the war to your server:
scp target/gwt-glom-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war servername.com:
- Finally we can deploy the war.
- Stop tomcat:
sudo service tomcat7 stop
or, on older distro versions:
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 stop
- Copy the war to the deployment directory:
sudo cp ~/gwt-glom-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/OnlineGlom.war
- Start tomcat
sudo service tomcat7 start
or, on older distro versions:
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start
- You can test your deployment by loading http://yourserver.com:8080/OnlineGlom into your browser.
Deploying Example Files
You can use the glom_create_from_example command-line utility to create a database, with data, on the server, and the .glom file that uses it. For instance;
glom_create_from_example --input=/home/ubuntu/onlineglom/glom/examples/example_music_collection.glom --output-path=/home/ubuntu/onlineglom_files/ --output-name="music_collection.glom" --server-hostname=localhost --server-port=5432 --server-username=onlineglom Using the PostgreSQL server with host: localhost Please enter the PostgreSQL server's password for the user onlineglom:
Investigating Problems
The web page will report some configuration problems, such as an incorrect filepath for the .glom files's directory, or a problem loading the java-libglom .so file.
You can also check the log file, such as /var/log/tomcat7/onlineglom.log .

After studying Mesotherapy
with renowned practitioners in Paris, Dr. Lionel
Bissoon? introduced Mesotherapy to the United States
in the late 1990s. Thanks to the success of his practice
and his continuing education efforts, Dr.
Bissoon is promoting the latest Mesotherapy
procedures across the nation. Nearly all certified
Mesotherapists in the United States practice techniques
pioneered by Dr. Bissoon.
Member, French Society of Mesotherapy
Chairman, Bissoon Institute of Mesotherapy
Pioneered by the French physician
Dr. Michel Pistor in 1952, Mesotherapy is a minimally
invasive procedure that is widely used in Europe and
elsewhere to treat various injuries and medical conditions.
This medical specialty targets problem areas with microinjections
of conventional or homeopathic medicines, vitamins,
minerals and amino acids. Tiny "medicinal bullets" are
delivered directly into the mesoderm (middle layer of
skin) that are highly specific to the condition being
treated. Among its many applications, Mesotherapy can
be used for the following:

I have a Starlight Instruments feather touch focuser for my Dobsonian telescope.
While trying to collimate the secondary mirror with the focus all the way in, I noticed that my Howie Glatter laser collimator drifts away from the center of the primary mirror as I adjust the focus to all the way out. The collimator fits snugly into the focuser.
Clearly this is not good as collimation is now dependent on the focus position. While I could work from the mid-point of focus, I'd rather resolve this issue.
How can I adjust my focuser such that it is aligned with the telescope and collimation does not drift as I adjust focus?
I noticed that adjusting the secondary has reduced this issue, now the drift as focus moves is more subdued, but still noticeable.

Life-Cycle Studies: Pets
Human domestication of animals probably began with dogs about 17,000 years ago, although some experts believe the association is much older. Dogs got an assured supply of food and shelter, and in return they offered ingrained tracking, hunting, and guarding skills. It's been argued that dogs selected humans, not the other way around, but one way or another a symbiotic relationship developed.
Other species were tamed later during the Neolithic period, which saw the spread of farming and the domestication of goats, sheep, pigs, and cows. Chickens have been kept creatures for at least 8,000 years. The cat was domesticated 9,500 years ago in Cyprus, when wild cats came in from the cold to eat the rodents infesting the grain stores of early farmers. It took a couple of millennia more before donkeys and horses were harnessed for transport. Some animals, despite apparent potential, can't be domesticated; the zebra is a notorious case of one that can't be drafted. But almost any creature can, and has been, kept as a pet, including rats, scorpions, and cockroaches. Low expectations widen the range of possibilities.

ADDED: Since the Metafilter moderator Cortex is being given such a hard time both in the comments here and at the link —where he is participating using the deplorable "wall of text" approach to argumentation and antique anglophilic phraseology like "It's ungenerous to the point of beggaring belief" — I wanted to call attention to something really funny and cool of his from back in 2006. Necessary background:
This is a litle weird, maybe, but so cool I wouldn't want anyone to miss it before it drops off the MeTa front page. adamrice said 'matthewchen is spamming', so I said 'there's a jangly, wistful guitarpop song somewhere in the phrase 'mathewchen is spamming'....' and cortex agreed and went ahead and recorded the song. How cool is that? I love this place sometimes.

We depend on land for everything essential: food, water, shelter. When land loses its function and productivity - how should we go about restoring it? Where do we start? How shall we pay for it? A new framework for decision-making helps answer these questions, using the simple but powerful lens of economic analysis.
We depend on our land for everything essential - food, water, shelter. Yet often our use of the land can make it less productive, less fit to provide for our needs and the needs of fellow species.
The disappearance of forests, the degradation of soil, the loss of clear, fresh water - these events can happen quickly or, more often, over the course of generations. Nevertheless, we can return lands to fertile, functional and productive states. But that requires some strategic thinking.
Across the globe there are more than two billion hectares of degraded land that offer opportunities for restoration.
Getting the most out of restoration will require making some difficult decisions about where, when, and how landscapes should be restored. For the practitioner the question arises: where to start and how to proceed? For the policy-maker: who will pay for it and which policies will encourage it? For the landowners: why should we get involved?
The answers to these and other questions must inevitably be formed on the basis of restoration's expected impacts on ecosystem goods and services, the expected flow of costs and benefits - both public and private - and the needs and values of communities who surround or depend on the land.
IUCN and the World Resources Institute are pleased to present a tool to aid such decision-making: an economic, "return on investment" framework for analyzing restoration decisions. Based on well-worn principles of economic analysis, the framework allows for the assessment of a few key ecosystem goods and services and the economic impacts expected from different forest landscape restoration options. It will help decision makers understand the economic and ecosystem trade-offs of different restoration scenarios. And it can serve decision-making processes at the country, regional, or local level.
"We can restore land at large scales and across diverse land uses," says Michael Verdone, environmental economist at IUCN and lead author of the economic framework. "But there's no 'one right way' to restore." There are many interventions we can bring to a single plot of land, Verdone explains. "The 'right' land use transition will depend on the needs of the community – balancing the flow of costs and benefits of restoration to what is most called for."
Visit our landing page on the Economic Framework to learn more and to download a short tutorial on the analysis based on IUCN's experience in Rwanda. (You can find this tutorial at the top right of this page as well). A full report of the tool will be available soon. In the meantime you can write to [email protected] for more detail.
The economic framework for restoration decision-making is part of a tool suite housed within the Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM) developed by IUCN and the World Resources Institute. This effort was made possible through support from UK aid and the British people.

Mali is a landlocked nation located in the west of Africa which has been making geopolitical waves for those interested in the region.
In March, President Amadou Toumani was overthrown out of office in Mali through a military coup, opening up the country to al-Quaeda militants.
Here's what happened next, according to the Financial Times:
This allowed al-Qaeda-allied Islamists and rebels from the Tuareg, a native Berber people, to seize control of the north of the country. Since then, al-Qaeda has established an alarming foothold in the region. It has taken control of a territory twice the size of France, with airstrips and training camps. It has acquired significant military materiel from the remnants of the Gaddafi regime in Libya. It has conducted appalling atrocities.
Mali has remained a sleeper topic in this election. The nation is no doubt a failed state, but the international response led by France is lackluster and doesn't include direct American involvement.
The intervention force is a 6,300-strong force, half from West African nations and the other half from the Malian forces from the previous regime in the unconquered south.
Romney doesn't even have a mention of the failed state on his Africa foreign policy page, so it's unclear both if Romney has a cohesive plan for Mali or if he's raising up a wildcard issue that has stayed off of the political grid in an attempt to make a play during the debate.

The Best Travel Zoom Digital Cameras
Zoom can get you images that you can't snap with any other camera. Travel zooms are small point-and-shoot cameras with at least a 15x zoom, though many of them reach 20 and 30. These cameras have all the benefits of a point-and-shoot, including a compact size, with the added benefit of a big zoom. Their size and capabilities make them popular for travelers, but they are just well-rounded cameras overall and are suitable for a variety of different consumers. The best travel zoom digital cameras won't just have a compact size, they'll have solid image quality too.

SANTA CRUZ — Three people have been arrested in connection with the Friday night slaying of a homeless man in a camp along the railroad tracks near Depot Park, police said Sunday.
The body of a 51-year-old man was found about 11 p.m., after someone called police from a pay phone at Laurel and Chestnut streets to report a disturbance, police said.
Sunday, detective Sgt. Dave Perry said the victim would not be identified until Monday, at the earliest, pending identification of family members. An autopsy was scheduled for Monday, Perry said.
He declined to release any details about how the man died or any possible motives for the killing.
"It's still an active investigation and we have more witnesses to contact," he said. "It's going extremely well. We've been working on it non-stop and will continue to work on it until we exhaust all leads."
Police detained one man shortly after the body was found in connection with the homicide and identified him Sunday as Jeremiah James Long, 26.
Saturday, officers also arrested Michael Valgene Hudson, 41, and Shaelyn Zeanne Gonzales, 21.
The three were arrested on suspicion of murder, conspiracy and violating their probation terms, jail records show.
Gonzales was also arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs and Long on suspicion of committing battery against an officer, records show. They remained in custody Sunday afternoon.
Sentinel archives show that Long and
Gonzales were arrested together before, in November 2009, when they were one of a handful of young people allegedly illegally shooting an air gun on the Soquel Avenue bridge.
In another report that same month, Long was accused of striking a security guard with a skateboard at Trader Joe's, in the back and the arm, and spitting in his face, after the guard confronted him for stealing some food, police said.
Sunday, detective Damon Williams was out near the crime scene, taking clothes from a trash dumpster in a fenced city yard inside a triangle of railroad tracks behind the Depot Park bike park. Williams photographed the clothing and placed each piece in a brown paper bag. He asked a city worker if there were any pants and the worker said none were found.
The campsite where the body was found was several yards away, near the base of a hillside not far from the trestle bridge and below Clear View Court mobile home park on West Cliff Drive.
In the camp were two living areas tucked inside some shrubbery, filled with soggy blankets, clothes, hangars, a bike and more. A red "SC" ball cap hung from a tree and a wet, handwritten card from a child to her dad lay beside the green and pink bike, with a Bank of America debit card.
A couple who live in a mobile home above the park, Kal and Luisa Kallevig, said they have noticed more homeless people in the area this year but didn't hear anything Friday night.
"There have been people camping out there all summer and it gets noisy," Kal Kallevig said. "It's weird to think someone is living down there."
Near the wharf, a group of homeless people were hanging out in the sun. Two said they heard the man who was killed was someone they called Chef.
One man, who identified himself only as Mike, said Chef had been living in the area "for a while."
The homicide was the third in the city and the 10th in the county this year.
Santa Cruz police ask anyone with information to call the anonymous tip line at 420-5995 or leave a tip at www.santacruzpolice.com or on its cellphone application at http://m.santacruzpolice.com.

MARCH 1: Nathan Connally, 19, was shot about 2:30 a.m. near Dover and Soquel drives in Live Oak. He stumbled to an apartment at 2500 Soquel Drive and died there minutes later, according to sheriff's deputies. Authorities released a surveillance video that showed Connally walking with another man before the shooting. That man, who has not been identified, is not a suspect in the case. Deputies have not said what motivated the shooting. No one has been arrested. Connally lived in Santa Cruz.
MARCH 31: Brandon Gil, 21, fought with 43-year-old Frank Garcia outside a sports bar on the 500 block of Main Street in Watsonville. Garcia, Gil and Gil's friend, Ricardo Flores, were stabbed. Gil died in a hospital hours later. Watsonville police said in May that Gil initiated the attack on Garcia and the District Attorney's Office ruled it 'justifiable homicide'. Prosecutors filed no charges.
APRIL 3: Rafael Cendejas, 42, was shot around 6 p.m. as he was mowing his neighbor's lawn outside Watsonville in the Pinto Lake neighborhood. A man got out of a car, fired shots at him and fled in the car. Cendejas was pronounced dead at the scene. The Sheriff's Office has not said what motivated the shooting.
