The best advice for driving in bad winter weather is not to drive at all, if you can avoid it.
Don't go out until the snow plows and sanding trucks have had a chance to do their work, and allow yourself extra time to reach your destination.
If you must drive in snowy conditions, make sure your car is prepared, and that you know how to handle road conditions.
It's helpful to practice winter driving techniques in a snowy, open parking lot, so you're familiar with how your car handles. Consult your owner's manual for tips specific to your vehicle.
Driving safely on icy roads
If your rear wheels skid…
If your front wheels skid…
If you get stuck…

Rugby Championship
All Blacks unfazed by draw
August 17, 2014
Australia 12-12 New Zealand (video available in Australia only)
Coach Steve Hansen was philosophical about New Zealand letting slip a golden opportunity to close out a record-equalling 18th straight Test win in the All Blacks' 12-12 draw with the Wallabies on Saturday night. The All Blacks had been unbeaten since losing to England at Twickenham on their 2012 spring tour.
The world champions were bidding to match the 18 straight Test victories by their Kiwi countrymen from 1965-69 and South Africa's 1997-98 outfit in the Bledisloe Cup and Rugby Championship opener in Sydney.
All Blacks held in Wallabies opener%]
Instead, the All Blacks failed to convert a 9-3 half-time advantage at ANZ Stadium in the first tryless Test in Sydney since 1979.
"The record has been talked about a lot by a lot of people," Hansen said. "But, for us, the record is the outcome of winning games and how do we feel about not winning the game? Gutted - because we came here to win. Wherever we go we go, we go there to win. You saw that in the last minute of the game.
"We were defending, defending, defending, we get a penalty and the game's over on the clock and yet we didn't want to kick it out. I applaud that within the team because they've got the courage to want to play and win and be better than just a draw. That's what makes you proud as a coach, when you've got a group that'll show that much ticker."
The All Blacks' task was made all the more challenging by yellow cards to prop Wyatt Crockett in the first half and replacement fly-half Beauden Barrett 11 minutes from fulltime.
"The first one was pretty clear cut," Hansen conceded. "Crocky got offside, then got offside again so he went to the naughty boy's chair. The second one, I'm not sure about. I'm going to have to talk to someone who understands the rules better than me.
"I thought it was just a tackle and he came back and the ball wasn't in the tackle area; it had come away from the tackle area so there's no offside zone. It's irrelevant really ... we're not whingeing about it."
Of more concern for Hansen were injuries to centre Ma'a Nonu and blindside flanker Jerome Kaino, two of New Zealand's most destructive players.
"Ma'a looks like he's got a sore shoulder," Hansen said. "But we won't know until the morning, until everyone wakes up and cools down and sees what the extent is. [Kaino] has got a sore elbow so he's in the same boat."

Human Microbiome Project
We're not individuals, we're colonies of creatures.
— Bruce Birren, co-director, Genome Sequencing and Analysis Program
The human body is home to an enormous number and diversity of microbes. Within the body of a healthy adult, microbial cells are estimated to outnumber human cells by 10-fold. The combined genetic contributions of these microbes — in excess of 100,000 protein-coding genes — may provide essential traits not encoded in our own genome yet required for normal human development, physiology, immunity, and nutrition. The mission of the Human Microbiome Project (HMP) is to generate resources to describe these microbial communities and to analyze their roles in health and disease. For more information on the Human Microbiome Project, visit the Data Analysis and Coordination Center.
The HMP is not a single project but an interdisciplinary effort established by the NIH Common Fund. Multi-year grants were awarded to four sequencing centers — the Broad Institute, the Baylor College of Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine, and the J. Craig Venter Institute — to characterize the microbial communities found at several different sites on the human body, including the airway, oral cavity, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and vagina, and to analyze the role of these microbes in human health and disease. HMP includes the following initiatives:
- Development of a reference set of microbial genome sequences and preliminary characterization of the human microbiome
- Elucidation of the relationship between disease and changes in the human microbiome
- Development of new tools and technologies for computational analysis
- Establishment of a data analysis and coordinating center (DACC)
- Establishment of resource repositories
- Examination of the ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) of HMP research
Reference Genomes
Although the number of microbial species associated with the human body is predicted to be many times the number of reference genomes sequenced in this project, the strains selected for sequencing were chosen to be as phylogenetically representative as possible to establish a valuable benchmark for understanding microbial communities and will enable more complex metagenomic studies.
Specifically, for each body habitat, microbial strains were selected based on community feedback, phylogenetic diversity, clinical importance, abundance within the body site, and significance for understanding genetic diversity within a species. In addition, since not all human-associated microbes can be easily cultured for sequencing, the HMP sought to define the more elusive (most wanted) organisms from the human microbiome. These previously uncultured organisms have been hunted by leading developers of both single cell and novel culture-based methods for sequencing as part of the HMP's Reference Genome collection. Data from the most wanted list is helping to complete the catalog of reference genomes from the microbiome.
HMP DACC hosts the full list of genomes sequenced for HMP and see pubmed for a first paper on the HMP reference collection.
One of the main goals of the HMP was to create a baseline view of the healthy human microbiome in five major areas (airways, skin, oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, and vagina) and to make this resource available to the broad scientific community. Characterizing the baseline state of the microbiota is a critical first step in determining how altered microbial states contribute to disease. The HMP produced the first consistent sampling of many clinically relevant body habitats within a large population, including paired 16S rRNA gene profiling and deep metagenomic sequencing coverage for hundreds of microbial communities. Sequencing the 16S rRNA gene provides a method for identifying the various species within a bacterial/archaeal community, even those organisms that cannot be grown in the laboratory, while deep metagenomic sequencing allows a complementary view on the genes and pathways present in the community.
Women were sampled at 18 body habitats and men at 15 (excluding three vaginal sites), distributed among five major body areas. Nine specimens were collected from the oral cavity and oropharynx, saliva, buccal mucosa (cheek), keratinized gingiva (gums), palate, tonsils, throat and tongue soft tissues, and supra- and subgingival dental plaque (tooth biofilm above and below the gum). Four skin specimens were collected from the two retroauricular creases (behind each ear) and the two antecubital fossae (inner elbows), and one specimen from the anterior nares (nostrils). A self-collected stool specimen represented the microbiota of the lower gastrointestinal tract, and three vaginal specimens were collected from the vaginal introitus, midpoint and posterior fornix. To evaluate within-subject stability of the microbiome, individuals in these data were sampled at additional time points (up to three total). More details on data generation are provided in the related Nature HMP publication.
A total of 11,174 samples were collected from 300 adults (ref: pubmed 23165986), and in the first phase 16S and WGS data were generated for a total of 5,177 taxonomically characterized communities (16S) and 681 WGS samples, A complete overview of all data sets, different processed products thereof, and detailed descriptions of how data was processed is available at DACC.
Develop and share new technologies and bioinformatics tools
The complexity of and variation between bacterial species requires sophisticated methods to understand the function of bacterial communities. In close collaboration with other genomics centers, the Broad Institute is pioneering the application of new technologies and developing standards for evaluating the data that are generated.
This work includes sequence data from several organisms that have been generated using new sequencing technologies. Data and additional information about the projects can be obtained at the National Institutes of Health.
Broad has also developed a growing suite of utilities for analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences (Microbiome Utilities portal), and in collaboration with others has been at the forefront of developing cutting edge DNA sequencing and microbial community analysis pipelines: LEfSe (Segata et al., 2011), HUMAnN (Abubucker et al., in press), ChimeraSlayer (Haas et al., 2011), and Picard. These tools allow us to identify both organismal and/or functional biomarkers for health/disease, and associations with available metadata. For a more elaborate perspective on Bioinformatics for the Human Microbiome Project, see also Gevers et al., 2012 PLoS Computational Biology.

gailpm necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 45 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
I am an energy healer with certification as Reiki Master, Rainbow Reiki, Koruna Reiki as well as a certified Past Life Regression and Hypnotist.
When I started to incorporate healing stones into my practice many clients began asking if they could purchase them to take home. They felt compelled to place the energy stones in their pockets to continue their healing and energizing experience. One day, while I was in meditation, the thought came to me that instead of giving my clients raw stones, I should create beautiful, yet functional pieces for them. I started creating necklaces, earrings and bracelets, each designed with their own unique combination of healing stones. For example, one client needed Agate to help with her lymphatic system as well as Bronzite to bring her alkaline body state to the acid condition to help fight off infections. I put the two stones together to create a beautiful piece and next thing I knew my clients' friends saw and wanted unique healing stones designed for them as well. I have also designed pieces that attach to cell phones or computers to counter the negative energy emitted by today's high tech environment.
I would like to position product as the perfect gift for friends, family and loved ones suitable for men women and children.
The brand name Tamar will be put on little metal tags attached to the energy art. Additionally each energy art will be placed in a gift box with a label and a gift card describing the story of Tamer healing energy art. We will also design a web site where Tamar healing energy art will be presented. I also feel that since the healing stones are natural: the colors should be colors found in nature, my boxes a taupe color. How you design the logo using the additional words "Healing Energy Art" is your creativity. I am also attaching a file with my signature written several ways in hoping one will catch your eye.
Thank you

I'm new to game dev. I need 2D or 3D models of real weapons for an app I'm writing. But I'm no 2D/3D graphics genius ;)
Is there any place where I can get such things? For free or commercially. Both is fine.
Helpful would be a graphics format which allows editing the models.

Customs enforcement of intellectual property rights – Frequently Asked Questions
What are Intellectual Property Rights?
Intellectual property rights (IPR) cover all forms of commercial activitiesand artistic creations. They fall into two categories: industrial property and copyright. Industrial property includes a diversity of rights such as patents (which protect inventions), trade marks, geographical indications and designs. Copyright - or authors' rights -protects literary and artistic works (books, plays, films, musical works, paintings, photographs, sculptures, maps etc.). Copyright also includes related or neighbouring rights such as those of performers, producers of films and sound recordings, and broadcasters.
IPR provides their owners with the means to decide, for a specific and limited time, how their inventions and creations are to be used, reproduced and commercialised. IPR rewards innovation and creativity and promotes the dissemination of goods and services. For many industries and sectors, well-managed intellectual property rights are a core element of their business strategy and a key factor for their European and global competitiveness.
What are IPR infringing goods?
The EU legislation on customs enforcement of IPR distinguishes three categories of goods infringing IPR:
What is the role of customs in IPR enforcement?
Customs play an important role in identifying and detaining at the border, shipments of goods suspected of infringing IPR. In 2009, customs detained 118 million articles in over 43,500 cases (IP/10/995 and MEMO/10/353).
Customs enforce IPR on the basis of EU legislation and is supported by a multi-annual EU action plan that aims to improve the effectiveness of customs control, strengthen cooperation with industry and international partners and raise awareness of consumers to the negative consequences of buying IPR infringing goods.
What is the existing legal framework for customs to enforce IPR and why should it be replaced?
The existing legal framework is Council Regulation (EC) No. 1383/2003. It is now time for a new regulation which takes account of developments such as the increasing importance of IPR for the EU economy, the explosion of postal traffic resulting from internet sales, practical problems in the implementation of the present regulation, fundamental procedural rights or the detention of generic medicines in transit through the EU on their way to third countries.
At the Council's invitation, the Commission carried out a review of this Council Regulation (including a public consultation, which concluded that the legal framework could be strengthened, and certain administrative procedures clarified to safeguard the interests of legitimate traders.
How will customs enforcement of IPR be strengthened?
The Commission proposes to widen the list of possible IPR infringements to be controlled by customs at the border. The new regulation would include infringements such as illegal parallel trade and lookalike trade mark. Illegal parallel trade is the trade in goods that have not been marketed by the right holder (or with his approval) in the EEA and are distributed through channels of distribution that are not authorized by the right holder. Look-alike trade marks are goods where there exists a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public between the sign and the trade mark.
Furthermore, the list of protected rights would be extended to trade names, topographies of semiconductor products, utility models, devices to circumvent technological measures and non-agricultural geographical indications. In practice, it means that customs would be able to take actions against goods falling into these new categories and found to be infringing IPR rules.
The existing procedure for the anticipated destruction of goods infringing IPR will also be made mandatory in all Member States for counterfeit and pirated goods. Currently, the anticipated destruction of goods (applied in 50% of all detentions in 2009) is not made compulsory in all EU Member States. A specific procedure for the anticipated destruction of counterfeit and pirated goods contained in small postal consignments is also proposed.
Why is it only now that these new categories are being introduced?
The enforcement of IPR has developed constantly since 1986, when customs were first tasked with this responsibility at the border. The first regulation in 1986 started with only trade mark protection and has evolved to encompass under all forms of IPR, in this latest proposal. IPR infringements have developed in a similar fashion. Right holders were initially concerned with simple counterfeiting, whilst today, there is clear evidence of sophisticated infringements of goods protected by patents or topographies of semi conductors.
Customs are ideally placed, at the EU borders to control goods and it is therefore appropriate to include all other kind of IPR in these controls. The enforcement of IPR by customs has evolved over time to take account of the increased interest in enforcement.
What is the problem with small consignments sent by post?
We are facing an explosion in the number of small consignments of IPR infringing goods in the postal and air traffic, which may result from internet sales. Preliminary figures for 2010 show an increase of 200% in postal consignments that were detained. Dealing with them is a burden for customs and right-holders. To tackle this problem, an alternative simple procedure is proposed for cases where it is clear that the goods are counterfeit or pirated. The person receiving the goods would be offered the possibility to agree to their destruction, without having to pay costs or fulfil formalities. In such cases, customs would bear the costs of destruction.
As many such shipments contain only one or two items, destruction costs would not place an unacceptable burden on customs, and would be offset by applying a simplified procedure.
When will customs control for IPR infringing goods?
Customs can control goods for possible IPR infringements, as well as for other reasons, as long as the goods are under their supervision. Goods that enter or leave the Union stay under customs supervision until they are released into the market or exported. In the framework of IPR enforcement, customs will only detain goods and inform the right-holder, when they have a suspicion of an infringement.
Situations in which an infringement can occur are determined by the laws protecting IPR such as the trade mark, copyright or patent laws. The importation or exportation of such goods protected by an IPR, without the consent of the owner of that IPR, is prohibited, but even offering the goods for sale in the EU can be an infringement.
Will customs check passengers for IPR purposes?
Passengers are and will remain subject to customs control at EU external border crossing points for a variety of reasons, including possible IPR infringements. However, the proposed Regulation specifically excludes goods of a non-commercial nature contained in travellers' personal luggage: the Regulation would not give power to customs to detain goods for personal use.
Who must pay the costs of customs intervention?
The right-holder seeking to protect IPR must ask the customs authorities to take action when an infringement is suspected. Certain costs incurred by customs, such as storage and destruction costs, will continue to be borne by the right-holder. However, the right-holder may seek to recover these costs from the other parties involved.
Other costs, such as those resulting from court proceedings, will often be paid as determined by the court, where the infringer could be made liable.
How does the proposal improve the situation for legitimate medicines in transit?
At the end of 2008, customs detained several shipments of medicines in transit through the EU on the basis of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1383/2003. Concern was expressed by certain Members of the WTO, Members of the European Parliament and NGOs about the impact of such detentions on the trade in legitimate medicines. The proposal does respond to these concerns, by clarifying that the customs Regulation is of a procedural nature, and does not change or add to the rules defining what an IPR infringement is. Detention and destruction procedures are also made clearer, thereby increasing legal certainty for legitimate traders.
Will this proposal have an impact on the good functioning of the Single market?
The proposal is part of the new Commission's strategy on IPR (IP/11/630), and of the Single Market Act (IP/11/469). In order to preserve the EU's growth potential, IPR must be protected and enforced. The proposal further harmonises the enforcement procedures by customs across the Single market, while respecting the legal framework of the EU Member States. It will also enable customs to fulfil its critical role at the border in a more effective manner, thereby reinforcing the protection of the Single market against IPR violations.

Gardening helps offset my grocery bill, especially since I grow items that can be expensive at the grocery store such as peppers and tomatoes. The one downside to gardening is that supply sometimes exceeds demand, particularly when I grow things like yellow squash and zucchini.
My children are now examining all baked goods with a suspicious eye, so I have to step up my game and hide the squash where they will least expect it: in plain sight! The peppers provide a flavorful cover, even if they do not entirely camouflage the squash.

Calling all parents of musically talented high school students: I've got some news for you. I want to tell you that the hit Fox TV show "Glee," with its gorgeous sets and aging-out stars, has nothing on the real-life success of kids involved in the New York State School Music Association.
For the most part, this column seeks to hit a high note about promoting music appreciation among students. However, I do intend to address a couple of things that some stage moms and dads do that can strike an angry chord with me.
This year, NYSSMA's programs mark its 80th anniversary. Its alumni include some of music's biggest superstars, including Lady Gaga.
"She wasn't known as Lady Gaga back then," said John Gallagher, NYSSMA's state chairman. "She performed in our All-State Vocal Jazz Ensemble in about 2003 or 2004."
For raw talent and drama, NYSSMA's Area All-State Festival had me hanging on the edge of my seat.
In 15 zones across the state earlier this month, thousands of selected students converged to work with guest conductors. After several hours of practice, they not only learned to perform several pieces of new music, but did so expertly, before packed audiences. Carnegie Hall, here we come.
This weekend, the organization's Winter Conference in Rochester will feature some of the state's most talented teen singers and musicians.
"We serve about 100,000 students, and it's based on the scores that the kids get," said Gallagher.
NYSSMA is funded by participating school districts and individual teacher memberships. If you've got a talented high school student and your district is a member of NYSSMA, I'd encourage your child to try out for the program. Perhaps it can lead to the stuff that dreams are made of.
While I applaud the musical talent of the students, the behavior of some stage parents at one of the festivals hit a sour note with me. Many of them turned up with small children in tow, who squirmed in their laps and murmured throughout the performance.
I know that child care is expensive. But for the sake of the rest of the audience, consider hiring a baby sitter and leave the littlest ones at home.
Then, as soon as their older kids were done playing the first set, hundreds of parents clambered out of their seats, gathered up all of their children, and left. I heard a collective gasp from the rest of the audience — as well as from some of the kids left standing onstage.
It was behavior that was just plain rude.
I attended the festival in Oneonta, but according to Gallagher, it's a widespread problem that extends from school auditoriums to major concert halls. "It's called 'bad concert etiquette,'" said Gallagher.
"I think it shows bad form. Students are going to grow up thinking that it's OK to leave when you're done with what you came to hear."
So, all of you stage moms and dads out there, listen up. Some of you need to stop behaving badly, both during and after your children's performances.
Some of their most important lessons about music appreciation may begin with you.

We also do complete carpet and hardwood floor drying in your home or basement. We can do sewage damage cleanup and sewer removal as well!
Cleaning Up Your Basement Water Damage
Frozen, broken, and burst pipes are more susceptible to happen in basements due to the pressure and temperature difference within the basement. Also, hidden moisture can lead to mold and mildew that can invade and ruin your stored contents and valuables. Basements are the lowest point in a home and tend to flood first during any kind of water damage emergency. Basement flooding can occur in Grosse Pointe basements from sources inside and outside the home. Excessive rain can over saturate the ground, resulting in leaks and even cracks throughout your Grosse Pointe basement. If you have basement water damage, do not wait to call, our job is to detect the water in your basement quickly and handle the water removal completely.
Fixing Your Broken, Burst, & Frozen Pipes
Broken pipes are a common cause of water damage in Grosse Pointe. Pipe burst in the attic can cause gallons of water to come flooding through your living rooms, bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom. Grosse Pointe homes that are left vacant with no regulating of heat or poorly insulated walls can be a common culprit of frozen water pipes and frozen water lines in the winter time. Pipes that lack proper insulation and are exposed to the winter's cold are far more likely to create a need for restoration in Grosse Pointe. Water pipe bursts are common in areas of extreme winter cold and high winds that drive the wind chill well below freezing temperatures. A frozen, broken or leaky pipe are all inconveniences that can lead to major headaches for your Grosse Pointe home. Ignoring these repairs can be extremely costly as water damage can lead to an unstable structure and damage of your valuables.
Winter can be the most devastating time of year for water damage in Grosse Pointe. Over a quarter of a million American homes each year will suffer from damage due to frozen or burst pipes. If you are experiencing a burst or frozen pipe or any other flooding, give us a call as soon as possible.

Our team of professionally certified experts have years of experience resolving various sewage cleanup and repair problems.

YANKEES: Derek Jeter could play shortstop on Wednesday
TAMPA, Fla. -- Derek Jeter is just about ready to play in the field for the first time this year.
Jeter went 0 for 2 in his second game as a designated hitter since returning from a broken ankle, a 4-0 win for the New York Yankees over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday.
The Yankees captain was hurt Oct. 13 in the AL championship series opener. Jeter grounded out in the first and hit into a double play in the third. He could play shortstop Wednesday
"That's the plan as of now," he said.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi planned to talk with Jeter on Tuesday.
"If he comes out OK, we're going to throw him in there," Girardi said.
New York's Hiroki Kuroda gave up three hits and struck out six in four innings.
"I'm getting there," Kuroda said through a translator.
Kevin Youkilis hit a fourth-inning solo homer off Lance Lynn, who allowed one run and two hits over four innings.
"Slider that didn't slide," Lynn said. "That's why we're down here working, trying to make sure that pitch is ready to go for the season. But I threw some good ones early on, so you can't really harp on the one bad one. Other than that one pitch, I threw the ball pretty well."
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny had surgery in St. Louis to repair a ruptured disk in his lower back. Bench coach Mike Aldrete is managing the team in his absence.
"I did get a text from him that said he is feeling better, spoke with our medical staff and they're encouraged by where things are at," St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak said. "I hope to see him by the end of the week back in camp, knowing that he's going to have to take it slow and be smart about it."
St. Louis third baseman David Freese played defense for the first since falling into the stands March 4 while attempting to catch a foul ball and landing on his tailbone. Outfielder Matt Holliday, battling flu, didn't make the trip and worked out at the Cardinals' complex in Jupiter.
Youkilis, who started at first base for the first time this spring training, also had a sacrifice fly. Signed to fill in for third baseman Alex Rodriguez (hip surgery), Youkilis could see time at first because Mark Teixeira is sidelined until at least May due to a wrist injury.
New York right-hander Phil Hughes threw 27 pitches during his second mound session since being diagnosed with a bulging disk in his upper back three weeks ago. Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild did not rule out Hughes being ready for the first week of the regular season.
"Today was a big day," Hughes said. "Today was like a normal bullpen. I'm pain free. I think that was the biggest thing."
Hughes, who went 16-13 with a 4.19 ERA over 32 starts last season, is scheduled to throw batting practice Thursday and could follow that with a simulated game. He had a 10-pitch mound session Saturday.
Yankees closer Mariano Rivera had a 21-pitch bullpen session and is to make his second appearance on Wednesday. He struck out two during a 1-2-3 inning on Saturday. David Robertson, scratched from his outing last Tuesday because of an achy shoulder, gave up a single during a scoreless sixth.
"Put up a zero, but it was ugly," Robertson said. "I didn't have any problems. Felt great."
Cardinals left-hander Marc Rzepczynski has been cleared to resume limited baseball activities. He had a freak eye injury incurred while golfing on Friday. An object, perhaps a rock or the ball, caromed off a tree and hit Rzepczynski in the eye after he swung at the ball.
"We're just going to be patient on this because it's a unique injury and give him a couple more days," Mozeliak said. "But hopefully by the end of the week, he's back and able to throw a pen."
NOTES: New York agreed to a minor league contract with Ben Francisco, who will compete for an extra outfield position. ... Gil Velazquez rejoined the Yankees after playing for Mexico, which was eliminated in the first round of the World Baseball Classic. ... Weatherman Al Roker worked out with the Yankees before the game, wearing uniform No. 98. He talked baseball with Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson and took out the lineup card to the umpires. ... New York optioned LHP Francisco Rondon, RHPs Dellin Betances and Brett Marshall, and C Austin Romine to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. LHPs Manny Banuelos and Nik Turley, RHP Jose Ramirez and OF Ramon Flores were optioned to Double-A Trenton. RHP Chase Whitley, C J.R. Murphy and INF Luke Murton were reassigned to the minor league camp.

Revision as of 11:45, 19 November 2009
Currently, we are developing collections on a shared Windows drive called "Share" in the Digital Projects folder.
We are storing content long-term on a Linux server.
We are delivering content on another Linux server via CONTENTdm, and Tonio Loewald of OLT is developing an alternative (Linux-based) delivery solution, which runs off our storage area.
This is the current set of procedures for moving content from Share to long term storage, and linking them into manifests for LOCKSS. This procedure should happen every Friday:
TO MOVE CONTENT TO STORAGE -- every Friday
ACCESS and IDENTIFICATION
1) ssh to libcontent1.lib.ua.edu.
2) To get root access, run: sudo su (if you do not have sudo access, you cannot do this process)
3) To get access to the share drive from the libcontent1 Linux server, run: mount -t cifs -o username=jlderidder,domain=lib //libfs1.lib.ua-net.ua.edu/share/Digital\ Projects/ /cifs-mount and type in your password to the share drive. (substitute your own username there in the line above)
4) To determine what the status in on content in the Digital Services folder on share, run: /srv/scripts/qc/status This script goes through the Digital_Coll_Complete and Digital_Coll_in_progress folders, and pulls out paths to folders that end in _ready (for Mary), _store and _online (for pickup for storage) and also _check, for digital services quality control. The lists of these paths are written to files in /srv/scripts/qc/lists: forMary are things waiting for her; checkme are for the DS folks storeMe are things NOT to go to CONTENTdm, ready to store, though online are things ALREADY in CONTENTdm, ready to store.
5) Share this output with Digital Services folks, to verify it is correct.
6) Once verified, look under /cifs-mount for content in share directory. Copy it over to /srv/deposits/content/. for example: cp -r /cifs-mount/Digital_Coll_Complete/u0003_0002121_Aston_1939 /srv/deposits/content/. This does a recursive copy of the entire specified directory and all its contents, and places the copy in the /srv/deposits/content directory on the libcontent1 server.
7) do a diff from /srv/deposits/content to the location of the content on share drive area to see if we got the content ok; for example: diff -r /cifs-mount/Digital_Coll_Complete/u0003_0002121_Aston_1939 /srv/deposits/content/u0003_0002121_Aston_1939 look at the output: if none, it's a match. If there's a variation, recopy the specified files, and then run the diff again. If it's a big directory, prepend the command with "nohup " so the process will continue to run if you log off or lose your connection. The output then will be in the nohup.out file in the directory where you ran the "diff" command.
8) Once you're sure you have a clean copy (no output from "diff"), delete the specified directory from the share drive. For example: rm -r /cifs-mount/Digital_Coll_Complete/u0003_0002121_Aston_1939 This is a powerful command, a recursive removal of a directory and everything in it, including subdirectories. Be careful with it.
9) If the collection has an icon: make sure it is in the Admin folder, named for the collection. For example, u0003_0002121.icon.png for the collection above. (You will need to copy this to the CONTENTdm server (content.lib.ua.edu) and place it in the /usr/local/Content4/docs/cdm4/images directory, with 664 access rights "chmod 664 xyz.png"). List this icon in /srv/scripts/collstuff/icons, so the following script will know not to apply a default icon link.
10) Then go to the collstuff directory /srv/scripts/collstuff and run: collToDbase to put the collection info in the database. This looks through the Admin folders in the top level directories placed in /srv/deposits, for collection-numbered XML files. It parses through the content, repairing encoding errors, puts the content into mysql InfoTrack.digColls, adds the expected canned link, and asks you for each collection whether or not the collection is online. To answer, copy the title given and input into CONTENTdm advanced search interface as the exact phrase in the Relation:isPartOf field. Run the search and make sure this brings up the content, as this is the link created by the software. Note that the links created are the ones expected for CONTENTdm -- the software needs updating when Tonio's software goes live. (It will need to ask where the content is live, verify the URL it creates, and allow you to correct the link on the command line.)
11) Check it there... mysql, InfoTrack.digColls. For example: mysql -u jlderidder -p (enter password) use InfoTrack; select * from digColls where id_2009 like "u0003_0002121"; (when done, enter "quit;") If not okay, make repairs from command line.
[Verify that links are correct. Update about.php on CONTENTdm server if collection page PHP is not yet written.]
12) copy the metadata spreadsheets to /srv/scripts/metadata/spreadsheets, and make sure they get into the next batch processing of MODS files.
{Following step applies if we are keeping a use copy of the database on content.lib.ua.edu} [Verify that links are correct. Update about.php on CONTENTdm server if collection page PHP is not yet written.]
12b) Back up database and copy to the content.lib.ua.edu server so the collection page will be updated by the new entries in the digColls table that you marked as "online." **** NOTE: do this early or late in the day to avoid disruptions to users. ****** a) On libcontent1: i) cd /srv/mysql (this changes your directory location) ii) then you back up the existing database: mysqldump -u jlderidder -p InfoTrack > ./backups/InfoTrack_20090625.sql (where 20090625 is today's date) iii)then copy it to your home directory on the CONTENTdm server -- substitute your name, use your password: scp backups/InfoTrack_20090625.sql firstname.lastname@example.com:. b) On content.lib.ua.edu : i) ssh there; ii) 'su root' first, to get root access iii) move the file where we need it: mv InfoTrack_20090625.sql /usr/local/mysql/var/backups/. iv) cd /usr/local/mysql/var/ (change your directory location) v) backup existing database: use yesterday's date, so as not to overwrite new version: mysqldump -u jlderidder -p InfoTrack > ./backups/InfoTrack_20090624.sql (where 20090624 is yesterday) vi) drop the old database: (NOTE: the database will go down until you have refilled it!) mysqladmin -u jlderidder -p drop InfoTrack vii) create it again: mysqladmin -u jlderidder create InfoTrack viii) refill it with the newer backed-up version: mysql -u firestar -p InfoTrack < backups/InfoTrack_20090625.sql
13) look through the directories in /srv/deposits/content for anomalies, badly named things, and new categories -- any which are not listed on http://libcontent1.lib.ua.edu/lockss/Manifest.html ( this manifest is in /srv/www/htdocs/lockss/). Anomalies might be directories which do NOT match the expected structure (Admin, Metadata, Scans, Transcripts) or subfolder structure beneath them; spaces in filenames or directories, etc.
13b) move any item-level text files out of scans to S:\Digital Projects\Administrative\collectionInfo\forMDlib\itemMD\ and notify Mary 13c) RUN testIncoming (in /srv/scripts/qc; script available here: File:TestIncoming.txt) and look at the output for problems. 13d) open /srv/scripts/storing/relocating (script available here: File:Relocating.txt) and set $test = 1. Run it and look at the output. Make repairs.
14) Make whatever repairs are necessary for script to work. If there are any new categories (z0004?), then add them, and create top level manifests in those category directories (copy from like directories and modify to fit).
15) Open /srv/scripts/storing/relocating and edit out the line $test = 1;
16) Empty the file /srv/scripts/storing/RelocateManifests, and copy moveme to another filename.
17) run "relocating > look" and look at the output to make sure it's doing what you want. It will: a) list the files it's going to move, from where and to where in "moveme" b) write the new manifests into RelocateManifests so you can see what they're going to look like c) write the parent manifests to parentMans, so you can see what they're going to look like d) write errors to "look" file, as well as other info
18) WARNING! Before running /srv/scripts/storing/relocating, do a chmod -R 755 /archive (after running it, do chmod -R 555 /archive) this will enable you to write to the directories as root -- and then close off that ability afterwards.
19) Repair the edits made to relocating script and rerun, this time for real... check results. This time it will actually copy the content into the directories in /srv/archive And create and modify existing manifests.
20) If the output tells you to modify or create manifests, do that next (if not done already) in top level of /srv/www/htdocs/lockss directory The script does NOT create the top 2 levels of manifests, as it does not have sufficient information about new categories to fill this in.
21) check links at http://libcontent1.lib.ua.edu/lockss/Manifest.html -- drill down. If you cannot access it, modify the .htaccess file in /srv/www/htdocs/lockss to allow your IP, and restart the apache web server: '/usr/sbin/apache2ctl restart' (be sure to change it back, and then restart the web server)
22) then run 'checkem > look' in /srv/scripts/storing (script available here: File:Checkem.txt -- it will use the "moveme" file to verify md5 sums of content that was moved, and delete from the deposits directory if there's a match. If there's NOT a match, it will output "ERROR: " and the error. So look through the "look file" for problems. Again, if there's a lot of content, precede this command with "nohup " and then look later in the nohup.out file for the content that normally would go into "look". 22b) run checkArchive (script available here; File:CheckArchive.txt) and look at ArchiveERRORS; make repairs. If needed, alter and run doubleCheck to make sure things were copied over; checkMans to check that what's linked in the Manifest actually copied; addToMans to add content that was moved but not written to the Manifest. Problems occur especially when the server goes down during a transfer. Especially be aware that dozens of tiffs may have been copying when it went down, meaning multiple images are corrupted or damaged.
23) then go look in the /srv/deposits directory, make sure folders are clean, and delete them. I do this: ls /srv/deposits/content/* ls /srv/deposits/content/*/* ls /srv/deposits/content/*/*/* ls /srv/deposits/content/*/*/*/* if you find content, there's a problem. Solve it!! It may be necessary to rename things and go back through steps 13 on again. if no content: rm -r /srv/deposits/content/* (this will recursively delete all content in the directory)
24) run: chmod -R 555 /archive this will protect the archive from accidental writes.
25) go to /srv/scripts/surfacing and run copychange (script available here: File:Copychange.txt to create derivatives from tiffs, wave files and copy transcripts over to the web directory for access;
25b) then run /srv/scripts/surfacing/repair to remediate the doubles created from tiffs which include both thumbs and large images.
26) run getMets to get METS files and EADs
27) get MODS from 13.5 above, place in /srv/scripts/metadata/MODS and distribute into correct web directories, using /srv/scripts/metadata/relocate.
28) run /srv/scripts/metadata/findMissing to find out what doesn't have metadata, what doesn't have derivatives -- troubleshoot.
The current, working version of these instructions is located here on libcontent1: /srv/scripts/metadata/storing/DOTHIS.

Prisoners freed after crack sentences cut
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. —Antwain Black was facing a few more years in Leavenworth for dealing crack. But on Tuesday, he returned home to Illinois, a free man.
Black, 36, was among the first of potentially thousands of inmates who are being released early from federal prison because of an easing of the harsh penalties for crack that were enacted in the 1980s, when the drug was a terrifying new phenomenon in America's cities.
"I did more than enough time," Black said outside his family's Springfield, Ill., home, where family and friends had gathered to celebrate over dinner. "I feel like I can win this time. I'm a better man today than I was then."
The 1980s-era federal laws punished crack-related crimes much more severely than those involving powdered cocaine — a practice criticized as racially discriminatory because most of those convicted of crack offenses were black.
More recently, the penalties for crack were reduced to bring them more in line with those for powder, and Tuesday was the first day inmates locked up under the old rules could get out early.
Some 12,000 prisoners are expected to benefit from reduced sentences over the next several years, with an estimated 1,900 eligible for immediate release as of Tuesday. On average, inmates will get three years shaved off their sentences. The reductions do not apply to people found guilty of crack offenses under state laws.
Black said like many of his peers, he started smoking crack in high school and began selling it partly to support his habit. He said he was a low-level dealer and that he didn't realize the mandatory minimum sentence he faced when he pleaded guilty in 2003 and was given a 15-year prison term.
With changes in the law, good behavior and credit for time served in jail, he was freed from the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., after 8 1/2 years locked up for the crime. His projected release had been Oct. 3, 2013.
"I didn't think it was fair and I still don't think it's fair now," Black said. "I know guys who aren't coming home, still, because of these laws that were placed upon a certain race of people," he said.
Kentucky inmate Darryl Flood, 48, thought he would have to wait until 2013 to get out of prison, more than a decade after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute crack. But on Monday a judge approved his release two years ahead of schedule.
Susan Cardwell, his sister in Haymarket, Va., said she was expecting him to arrive on a bus today. She said she cried after getting a call from his lawyer with the news.
"He wants to get out, get a job and get his life back together," she said in a telephone interview. "He says he'll work two jobs if he has to."
Sentence disparity
Under the old system, a person convicted of crack possession got the same mandatory prison term as someone with 100 times the amount of powdered cocaine. Five grams of crack, about the weight of five packets of Sweet N'Low, brought a mandatory five years; it took 500 grams of powder to get the same sentence.
The law was seen as racially unfair because blacks made up the majority of people convicted of crack crimes, while whites were more likely to be found guilty of offenses involving powdered cocaine.
In 2010, Congress reduced the disparity in sentences for future cases. Last summer, the U.S. Sentencing Commission decided to apply the measure to inmates doing time under the old rules.
Chris Burke, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, said that he could not say exactly how many people would be let out Tuesday but that officials were working around the clock to process hundreds of orders from judges granting early release. In certain cases, prison officials have been given a grace period of several days to free inmates, Burke said.
The releases are the result of months of work by prosecutors, public defenders and judges across the country. Inmates' requests for sentence reductions were decided on a case-by-case basis, with courts taking into consideration such factors as the prisoner's behavior behind bars and threat to society.
Black, who earned a high school equivalency diploma and college credits behind bars, likes to cook and hopes to open a restaurant.
"It's a blessing just to see them smile, for me to be home" he said, referring to the friends and family who welcomed him home. "It lets me know I am loved. It's been a long ride, too. It's been a while. They held fast for me. I've got a lot of people counting on me so I've got to fly right this time."

The Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552)
The Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) establishes a presumption that records in the possession of agencies and departments of the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government are available to the public. The FOIA sets standards for determining when Government records must be made available and which records may be withheld. The FOIA also gives requesters specific legal rights and provides administrative and judicial remedies when access to records or portions of records is denied. The FOIA statute requires that Federal agencies provide access to and disclosure of information pertaining to the Government's business to the fullest extent possible.
Under FOIA, certain records may be withheld in whole or in part from the requester if they fall within one of nine FOIA exemptions. Six of these exemptions most often form the basis for the withholding of information by APHIS:
The Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a
The Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a, establishes a code of fair information practices that governs the collection, maintenance, use, and dissemination of personally identifiable information about individuals that is maintained in systems of records by federal agencies. A system of records is a group of records under the control of an agency from which information is retrieved by the name of the individual or by some identifier assigned to the individual. The Privacy Act requires that agencies give the public notice of their systems of records by publication in the Federal Register. The Privacy Act prohibits the disclosure of information from a system of records absent the written consent of the subject individual, unless the disclosure is pursuant to one of twelve statutory exceptions. The Act also provides individuals with a means by which to seek access to and amendment of their records, and sets forth various agency record-keeping requirements.

Legal dramas overshadow ex-Cat's clash
Essendon coach Mark Thompson has warned his players against becoming distracted by what takes place in the Federal Court.
The ninth-placed Bombers take on fifth-placed Geelong at Etihad Stadium on Friday night as ex-Cats' forward Paul Chapman faces up to his old side for the first time.
Triple-premiership Cat Chapman's emotional clash with Geelong has been overshadowed with Federal Court action taken by Essendon and their banned coach James Hird against ASADA.
The Bombers and Hird argue last year's joint ASADA and AFL investigation into the club's 2012 supplements program was unlawful and the show-cause notices against 34 past and present players should not proceed.
The first step in the court action will be Friday's directions hearing, which will be televised.
"I haven't talked about it this week, so I probably won't talk about it tomorrow," Thompson told reporters.
"If they want to watch it they'll watch it.
"If they don't they won't.
"We'd be pretty disappointed if they spent most of tomorrow thinking about what's going on in court, when we've got a game on.
"They're bigger and better than that. They've been able to show that they've been able to concentrate on the footy and I'd expect the same.
"If you get distracted, you spend less time thinking about your job."
Thompson, who coached Geelong to premierships in 2007 and 2009, gave a wry grin when asked how he thought the Cats might respond to media speculation that a fourth premiership in eight years is beyond them.
"They're still a good team," Thompson said.
"They're a proud mob.
"I'd love to say yes, I have five or six areas (where Geelong can be exposed) but I haven't."
Thompson says he has counselled Chapman, 32, on how to handle his emotions in Friday's game.
"I think deep down, he's openly admitted that he would have preferred to stay and play on at Geelong," Thompson said.
"But he's also mature enough to realise it didn't happen and he's enjoying his time here.
"(I've) been texting him, just telling him to keep it all in check mate, just let it happen.
"He'll probably be targetted in some respect, yes."
Geelong coach Chris Scott says the Cats are eagerly awaiting the "theatre" of their clash with Chapman.
"He'll embrace it and we'll embrace it as well," Scott said.
Thompson did his best to take his players' minds off their legal dramas by supervising training in his underwear after losing a bet regarding a tactical set play.

Believe it or not, someone managed to put the words "human" and "centipede" next to each other more than 80 years before the infamous surgery horror film. This human centipede wasn't nearly as disgusting, but it was a torture device, albeit a mild one designed for hazing rituals.
This novelty item appeared in the DeMoulin Bros mail-order catalogue in 1928. DeMoulin was a sort of proto-Think Geek, filled with oddball high-tech gadgets. "The Human Centipede, or Night Mare" was designed for fraternal hazing rituals. The man in the front was in control of the device, while three men rode behind him. Any time he wanted to make life uncomfortable for the other riders, the front man could turn up the dial, leaving his fellows to squirm. I'm not sure if this video includes original footage or is a wholly modern recreation, but it gives you a sense of what its unfortunate riders were in for. Of course, it still beats anything that happens in The Human Centipede sequences.

As a fan returning to collecting for the first time since the 80s, and who had no idea at first about the AFA or indeed U grading, this guide has proved incredibly informative and invaluable.
I'll echo the majority of responses: why would you do it? I suspect all future collectors will look back on this period as a savage and sad time where greed got the better of sense.
I for one will not be going down the grading route, U or otherwise. Has this practice abated somewhat in the last couple of years?

Has Basketball wives star Evelyn Lozada had a change of heart? She was recently spotted holding hands with ex husband, Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, during a dinner party. Are these two really in love or have they decided together, they're worth more money as a couple. Will VH1 finally get to air their reality show? Here's the latest update on Chad and his ex wife Evelyn, dating rumors, and love predictions. Oh the drama!
Evelyn Lozada a Sagittarius girl is no stranger to drama, in fact, that's one of the reasons why she's the star of Basketball Wives. A show that glamorizes violence and showcases women who are emotional bullies.
Last summer, Evelyn and Chad tied the knot, pledging their love in a blinged out wedding. Two months later, the couple split over an argument where Evelyn accused her husband of head butting her. Which caused Chad a Capricorn to be fired and lose his reality show.
Evelyn took to the web to address the rumors about Chad. She says, "While at the dinner, several photos popped up on the Internet of Chad and I holding hands, while in the process of blessing the food," she explains. "The blogs made last night seem as though, we walked hand and hand into the restaurant announcing a reunion, which wasn't the case."
She continues, "I care for Chad, we are friends and we love one another, however, we are still separated, not living under the same roof and working on ourselves because we have a long way to go. This is a normal and realistic process for anyone and I don't know what the future holds for me, but I know God holds it and I'm taking things one day at a time."
Both Evelyn and Chad are working on their issues separately by attending therapy. Astrologically speaking, we would recommend these two NOT get back together. They're like oil and water, they just don't mix. You can love some one but that doesn't mean you belong together. Hopefully, Chad will get his life back on track and for Evelyn, she needs to calm down. We're looking forward to seeing a more loving and peaceful Basketball Wives this season. Stay tuned.

'Charlie's Dinosaur' Honors Memory of Murdered Powell Boys
(NEW YORK) -- The memory of Charlie and Braden Powell is being carried on by a group of detectives who found a sweet picture that made them smile following the deaths of the two boys.
Charlie, 7, and Braden, 5, were murdered on Feb. 5, 2012 by their father, Josh Powell, in a home explosion that killed all three. Powell, the only person of interest in the disappearance of his wife, Susan, had lost custody of the two boys. He killed them when they arrived at his home for what was supposed to be a supervised visit.
While cleaning out Powell's storage unit, detectives unraveled a white piece of paper and saw a picture of a dinosaur. Above it, in red marker, it said "Charlie."
"Having gone through that investigation, and having been very affected by it, a small group of us decided to get together," Lynette Anderson, a Pierce County, Wash., detective, told ABC News' Seattle affiliate KOMO-TV.
Charlie's Dinosaur, a non-profit to help foster children, was hatched.
The group takes donations of toiletries, books, toys and other items, fills backpacks and distributes them to foster children. They're also hoping to provide school supplies to disadvantaged or at-risk children.
"Our goal is to provide a backpack of personal items for these children to help them gain a sense of comfort and security in owning their own clothing and hygiene supplies," said the group on the Charlie's Dinosaur Facebook page.
Anderson said the group has a goal of distributing a hundred backpacks each month.
Police had called Josh Powell a person of interest in the disappearance of his wife, who he claimed went missing from their Utah home after he and his then 2- and 4-year-old sons went on a midnight camping trip in December 2009.
He was never arrested or charged, but he lost custody of his sons after his father, Steven Powell, was arrested in September and charged with 14 counts of voyeurism and one count of child pornography. The pornographic images were kept in the home the two men shared with Josh and Susan Powell's boys.

Liberty News
Property near airport purchased for School of Aeronautics
Liberty University announced today that a donor has assisted the university with the purchase of a building near Lynchburg Regional Airport to be used by the School of Aeronautics.
The two-story, 24,000-square-foot building is located on Airport Road adjacent to the airport and a quarter-mile from Liberty's current facility at Falwell Aviation Jet Center, soon to be renamed Freedom Aviation.
Dave Young, dean of Liberty University School of Aeronautics, said the purchase will allow for academic programs to be moved from the main campus and for the aircraft mechanic training program to move from the former Rose's building at The Plaza shopping center in mid-town Lynchburg.
"It will allow us to move everything so we can be Liberty's central 'airport campus,'" Young said.
The building will house classrooms, administrative offices and several flight simulators. Plans are being made for an addition to the building, which would house the training equipment needed for the Aviation Maintenance Technician School.
The purchase comes just one month after Liberty announced plans to construct a new facility at Falwell Aviation Jet Center, which houses a fully functioning aviation company and all flight training operations for the School of Aeronautics.
After the announcement was made, Wayne B. Booth, a Liberty University donor and Board of Trustees member, contacted Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. and offered to convey the building to Liberty at close to half of its value. The building is appraised at more than $2.8 million.
"Wayne Booth helped my father acquire the property where Liberty University is now located in the early 1970s," said Chancellor Falwell. "He and others helped the university acquire its first airplane around the same time. Now, Mr. Booth's generosity will help our School of Aeronautics move into a new facility much sooner than we had hoped at greatly reduced costs. Liberty University is blessed to have friends and supporters like Wayne Booth."
Liberty University School of Aeronautics, offering specializations in commercial/corporate aviation, military, missions and helicopter aviation, as well as aircraft mechanic, has grown from four students in 2002 to more than 300 enrolled in aviation courses for the Spring 2011 semester.
