A recent 12- to 15-cents per gallon jump in fuel prices has some farmers scurrying to rewrite their 2001 production budgets, and wondering how high fuel prices can rise.
According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with the U.S. Department of Energy, Gulf Coast prices for unleaded gasoline rose from $1.35 per gallon April 2, to $1.54 per gallon by April 23. An informal survey of Mid-South and Southeast petroleum distributors April 24 found unleaded gasoline prices hovering around $1.57 per gallon and farm diesel prices ranging from a low of $1.01 per gallon to a high of $1.10 per gallon.
Fuel prices are expected to remain high throughout the spring and summer months, the government agency reports in its short-term energy outlook. "U.S. crude oil and gasoline inventories are below normal and are expected to remain low through the driving season and into the fall. Therefore, price volatility remains a possibility this summer," the outlook says. "While there are reasons to believe that summer gasoline costs may not rise much above current levels, some of the same conditions that contributed to sharply rising prices last year are re-appearing this spring, such as low inventories and high crude oil costs."
The report continues, "Natural gas in underground storage reached the lowest levels ever recorded by EIA at the end of a heating season on March 31. This development has set the stage for continued high spot and wellhead prices that will be sensitive to variations in summer weather conditions that could lead to high electricity demand and competition for gas needed for storage"
The Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) is reporting new record highs in April for spot prices in the New York, Gulf Coast and Midwestern markets "The price increases during the first weeks of spring have made mincemeat of earlier predictions released by the Energy Information Administration."
"The increases have accelerated recently thanks to expectations that industry data will show another drawdown " the OPIS Energy Group says. May gasoline futures hit a high of $1.091 per gallon before the April 24 opening, which according to the Oil Price Information Service, is just shy of last summer's post Gulf War peak of $1.096 per gallon.
The rise is being blamed, at least partly, on a fire at a California refinery. "When gasoline inventories are ultra-sensitive to any unplanned refinery downtime, any unexpected loss in production is met with an immediate response," the energy group says.
The Energy Information Administration, reports that 43 percent, or roughly half of the price of a gallon of gasoline goes towards the price of crude oil. Of the remainder, 29 percent goes to pay taxes, 11 percent goes to distribution and marketing costs and profits, and 17 percent goes to refining costs and profits.
In its April 2001 Short-Term Energy Outlook, the Energy Information Administration says, generally tight market conditions that are developing in the face of low stocks and increased demand will keep oil producer margins, and thus consumer prices, relatively high.
As one distributor, who wished not to be quoted, explains, "The switch from making heating oil to making unleaded and diesel fuel was not made soon enough, and refineries are running at very high capacity which leaves very little room for error."
Another petroleum company executive says, he believes fuel prices are being affected by market speculators' beliefs' that inventory levels are not currently high enough and, because of this, there is a possibility for shortages to occur around the country this summer. He says this "perceived" shortage, combined with low refinery utilization, is causing speculators to run the futures prices up.

Orlando's Top Dentists of 2014
Our annual list featuring more than 200 of the area's finest dental professionals.
The dentists on Orlando magazine's 2014 Top Dentists list were chosen among the finest in the area by their local peers. topDentists, LLC, a national evaluation firm, conducted an extensive survey, asking local dentists, "If you had a patient in need of a dentist, to whom would you refer him or her?" Dentists and specialists were asked to take into consideration years of experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies, and physical results. Our 2014 list features more than 200 dentists in 7 specialty areas. Of course, there are many fine dentists who are not included in this representative list. It is intended as a sampling of the great body of talent in the field of dentistry. A dentist's inclusion on the list is based on the subjective judgments of his or her fellow dentists. The dentists are named alphabetically, by specialty. topDentists and Orlando magazine have made every effort to ensure the list is accurate.

Can one brush his or her teeth too hard or too long?
In a word… yes.
Our goal as dentists is to instruct our patients in how to brush and floss their teeth in order to maintain a healthy oral environment. However, too much of a good thing can cause excessive wear and tear on our teeth and gums, resulting in gum recession, sensitivity and other problems.
We recommend only soft or extra soft bristle brushes and fluoride toothpastes with mild abrasives. The newer generation of electric toothbrushes are clinically proven to remove more plaque when used correctly. However, vigorous brushing with a manual or electric toothbrush can still cause damage. Flossing aggressively can also cause lacerations to the gum tissues resulting in gingival recession.
So, what can you do to avoid excessive wear and sensitivity? Brush your teeth 2 to 3 times a day, but be mindful of your technique. Brushing back and forth will cause wear near the gumline. Use small circular strokes and sweep away from the gums. One good flossing before bed should be sufficient to keep your tissues happy and plaque-free. Most importantly, use a mild toothpaste. Lastly, ask your dentist and hygienist if they notice any signs of excessive wear and what they can recommend to prevent further breakdown.

I've heard the term "Smile in a Day'' with regard to dental procedures. What does it mean?
Dentistry has advanced drastically over the last few years making it possible for many procedures to be completed in only one day. This is why "Smile in a Day" has become a popular term to describe the many options patients have if they are unhappy with their appearance. The technology in our office allows us to perform these procedures in a single day.
Some patients are plagued with discolored, chipped or misaligned teeth. Porcelain veneers or crowns can be placed in one day using CEREC technology. CEREC can also be used to replace a missing tooth with a fixed bridge. This process previously took weeks to complete.
Whitening, bonding and replacing silver fillings with natural tooth-colored fillings can also be a single appointment smile makeover.
Another term a patient may recognize is the "All-on-Four" dental implant technique. This is an ideal solution for those who have lost, or are about to lose, all of their upper and/or lower teeth. Today, this procedure allows a patient to come as close as possible to having a new set of fixed permanent teeth. Taking advantage of the latest dental innovations, in addition to minimal planning, will create a beautiful "Smile in a Day."

How is a dental implant used to replace a missing tooth?
The earliest attempts at dental implants for tooth replacement actually date back to the Mayan civilization around 600 A.D. Archeologists have recovered skulls in which teeth were replaced by materials ranging from carved stones, such as jade, to fragments of seashells. Some of these early implants actually fused to the jawbone.
The modern dental implant is nothing more than a titanium screw that is placed directly into the bone where a tooth is missing. A replacement tooth is then attached to it. Titanium screws have been used in other parts of the body for decades, but it wasn't until the early 1960s that dental professionals began to use this same technology for tooth replacement.
At first, the implants were rudimentary and only used in cases that involved complete rehabilitation. But with the advent of more complex surgeries, bone replacement procedures and a better understanding of how the masticatory system works, we have taken giant leaps with dental implants. Whereas root canals, fixed bridges, removable partial dentures and full dentures were once the only available options to repair damage, dental implants have become second nature in restoring complex and simple cases. Not only one but multiple teeth can be replaced. Esthetics is achieved to a level that we could only dream of 10 years ago.

Is oral sedation safe, and how does it work?
Oral sedation is safe for most people. A thorough medical history review will determine which patients are good candidates. Oral sedation works by slowing down the action of the central nervous system.
People remain aware of their surroundings, but are less responsive to external stimuli, like the sound of the drill or the smell of materials. This also reduces their sense of pain. One of the medications often used has amnesic properties, so patients may not remember details of their visit and often lose their perception of time. This works exceptionally well for long procedures because patients feel as if they have only been in the office for a short while.
Patients take a pill the night before their appointment to help them relax and get a good night's rest. They take a different medication the morning of the appointment, one hour prior to their treatment time. Nitrous oxide is often used in combination with these medications to enhance the patient's relaxation during their visit. A driver is required to escort patients to and from the office.
Oral sedation is used successfully both for patients who have anxiety issues and those who wish to completely relax during longer procedures.

Is it ever too late to get braces? Do adults generally have to wear braces longer than children?
Both children and adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment. There is an increasing trend to improve the look and function of teeth—at any age. About a quarter of the orthodontic patients in the U.S. are adults. You may not realize how common adult treatment has become because of the advancements in treatment options, such as clear brackets instead of the traditional metal, which makes treatment less noticeable. Additionally, many of our patients enjoy using Invisalign, a type of clear aligners.
Adults may fear that their treatment may last longer than a child's, but often that isn't the case. An orthodontist is a dentist who attended an additional 2 years of school to study tooth movement, so orthodontists understand the safest ways to move teeth to achieve a beautiful smile. While we all wish for the fastest treatment, an orthodontist works with the goal of maintaining the health of your gums, teeth and their roots. Depending on the treatment method selected and patient compliance, the average treatment time is 1 ½ to 2 ½ years.

Earlier this year doctors reported that they had cured, for the first time, a child born to an HIV-infected mother after a swiftly administered course of drugs. If the advance holds up to further scrutiny (some wonder if the child was perhaps never infected or is not actually cured), it may be at least partly because the immaturity of a newborn's immune system enables it to cope better with HIV, says Joseph M. McCune, a professor of experimental medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not involved in the research.
Previous work shows that the inflammatory response mounted by an immune system under threat can make the HIV virus multiply more readily. The inflammation brings more immune cells to the site of injury or infection, increases cell division and boosts the production of proteins called cytokines that cells use to communicate. The HIV virus has evolved to take advantage of each of these processes—because the virus spreads from cell to cell, rapid division nearby helps HIV replicate quickly, McCune says.
Inside the womb, a fetus's immune system is set to "calm" because it "doesn't want to make an inflammatory response against the mother," McCune explains. That "do not respond" signal may hold over to the first few days of the newborn's life, robbing the new HIV infection of additional fuel. The delay, combined with a short course of aggressive treatment, may give the body enough of a head start to eradicate the virus on its own.
The case, reported in March at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Atlanta, raises multiple questions, and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development has put out a call for research proposals related to the new findings. "Now people are aware of this and can bring other children to our attention," says Lynne Mofenson, chief of the institute's Maternal and Pediatric Infectious Disease Branch. "Within a year or two we hope to have better answers."

NEW ORLEANS, La. – In the first week of regular-season polls released by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) on Wednesday afternoon, the MIT men's cross country team appeared 28th on the list and sixth in the regional rankings. The Engineers slipped just one place from their preseason ranking that was announced at the end of last month.
MIT started the 2012 season ranked 35th in the nation, but have been ranked as high as fifth in past years. The Cardinal and Gray captured their 15th consecutive New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) title in October of last year and ended their season at the New England Division III Regional Championships, where they finished in ninth place.
On Aug. 31, Tech hosted the annual Alumni Meet, but will officially open the season at the University of Southern Maine Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 21 at 12:00 p.m. The next USTFCCCA regional rankings will be released on Tuesday, Sept. 24, with the national rankings following the next day.

Wouldn't you rather be in this pool, right now, until your whole body transforms into a shriveled raisin? It's not your winter-weary eyes playing tricks on you, it's a succulent plant-covered leisure center in Amsterdam.
The center is located in the middle of a park, so the architects—VenhoevenCS—built it to blend right in with its surroundings. Squint hard enough, and you might mistake the greenery-draped structure for a lush hill. There's both an outdoor and indoor pool, the former of which looks like an aquatic Shangri-La, and the latter, a Scandinavian-style YMCA. Maybe if we close our eyes and click our heels together enough times it'll be July and we'll all magically be there playing the Dutch version of Marco Polo. [Dezeen]

A total of 21 break-ins have been reported inside Stuttgart's city limits since Tuesday, March 5.
Stuttgart Police Chief Mike Smith said the department has suspects in the recent rash of break-ins across Stuttgart, but no one is in custody at this time.
On Wednesday, March 13, SPD officers turned in six reports that included residential burglary or breaking or entering/articles from a vehicle. On Monday, March 11, there were 11 reports with the same possible charges. Four more were reported on Thursday, March 14, for a total of 21 break-ins reported inside Stuttgart's city limits since Tuesday, March 5.
"We have decreased in the numbers," Smith said, updating the Stuttgart City Council during Tuesday's regularly scheduled meeting.
Only one residential burglary, criminal mischief report has been turned in by officers this week.
On Saturday SPD Sgt. Keith Smith was dispatched to the 400 block of South Anna after someone tried to kick in a door at a residence.
"(The victim) stated that the alarm company contacted him around 6:45 p.m. about the alarm going off at his house and when he arrived he found that someone had tried to kick in the side door," Smith wrote in his incident report, that was released Wednesday.
The damage to the door was estimated at $200.
In other business the council approved to reappoint to the Stuttgart Parks and Recreation Commission Jay Coker, whose term will expire Jan. 1, 2018; Tanya West, whose term will expire Sept. 1. 2016; Clinton Scaife, whose term will expire Sept. 1, 2017; Richard Wilson, whose term will expire Nov. 1, 2015; and Butch Richenback, whose term will expire March 1, 2018.
The council also approved new member Matt Watkins to fill the position held by Teddy Holt. This position will expire June 1, 2017. Dr. Chris Morgan has submitted his resignation. The Council also approved to appoint Tim Johnson to fill Morgan's position. The term will expire Jan. 1, 2016.
The appointments and reappointments were approved unanimously.
The council also established a city depository during Tuesday's meeting. A state mandate requires a three-member board to designate depositories and supervise the depositing of municipal funds.
The mayor and city clerk are the first two on the board, but the third can consist of a city council member or the city finance officer. The resolution has named the finance officer over any city council member.
This portion was discussed at length. It was brought up that the mayor did not offer the position first to a council member, but the mayor explained she was going by a City of Greenwood resolution.
"This is the way it has always been done, but they need something on paper," Maynard said. "State auditors said that we should have this written up."
The council was asked if anyone would like to participate on the board instead of naming the finance officer. No member spoke up.
"I don't mind the three, just felt like we were being omitted from the job," Alderman Joe Alexander Jr. said.
Maynard said she took the ordinance directly from the City of Greenwood's resolution, and thought the finance officer should be chosen since she is available at Stuttgart City Hall during working hours and has done all the city's work in this department in the past.
The motion passed unanimously.
The mayor then added an item to the agenda for the Stuttgart Parks and Recreation Department to waive competitive bidding to purchase and construct foul nets and backstop fencing for the Reinsch Complex on Fields No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4.
The bid received totaled $35,919.68.
The competitive bidding was waived because the current system is no longer functioning properly and it must be replaced prior to the start of the youth sports season.

The Internet Strikes Back: Anonymous Takes Down DOJ.gov, RIAA, MPAA Sites To Protest Megaupload Seizure
from the doj-does-not-understand-what-has-been-unleashed dept
Within minutes of the site being shut down, and DOJ releasing its statement, Anonymous sprang into action and started taking down a ton of sites -- including websites for the DOJ, the US Copyright Office, Universal Music, the RIAA, the MPAA and a bunch of other sites. They're apparently still targeting more.
Think of this as the flipside of yesterday's protests. Yesterday the internet folks went dark to protest things. Today... following the government's decision to show off its existing censorship powers -- mocking yesterday's protests -- it appears that the industry/government supporters of online censorship are going dark involuntarily... in a different form of protest.
When will the government learn: don't muck with the internet?

.30 Caliber (.308) (.30-30) 125 gr. HP/FN (30-30)
In rifles, this bullet was designed for the venerable 30-30 Winchester cartridge, and features a jacket tailored specifically to 30-30 velocities. The cannelure on each bullet is precisely located to provide the proper over-all-length (OAL) for fast, trouble-free feeding. The bullet weight performs admirably on deer-sized game and is suitable for varmints as well. PowerJacket construction assures reliable expansion with good penetration. Though designed for the 30-30 cartridge, the use of these bullets is not restricted to that cartridge. In fact, these bullets are very effective in any 30 caliber cartridge if a muzzle velocity level of 2500 to 2600 fps is not exceeded.
In handguns, this bullet is suitable for some cartridges because they were designed for the velocities of the venerable 30-30 Winchester cartridge. Specifically, this bullet is suitable for any handgun cartridge that will produce 2200 to 2500 fps at the muzzle. They are suitable for all game, from varmints to large game, such as elk, if the bullet weight is matched to game weight. These are short-range bullets due to their nose design and will be suitable only when maximum ranges do not exceed 125 to 150 yards. Sierra's unique Power Jacket design assures uniform bullet upset and expansion at this velocity level with traditional Sierra accuracy.

|Love this bullet. I think they were originally .307 dia.. they are very accurate for a flat nose bullet and devastating on small to medium size game. I haven't taken any deer sized game but I am sure they will do the job with proper shot placement.

|works good up to coyote sizes i will never shoot another deer with them i put the botom jaw through the nose of a deer and lost 2 does that were it at what would have been a double lung but because of theer\ sizes i never got those deer back will stick to 150s for deer

|i have used this bullet for years in different 30-30s and the so called obsolete 30 rem. im model 14 141 and rem. model 8 they kill deer like lighting and are super accurate. in 30-30 use a full charge of RL7 and you will be happy!

|February 22, 2014
|i love these bullets in my 30-30 and 308W. Super accurate with noticeably lower recoil than the heavier projectiles but kill the biggest feral pigs and deer like they were hit by lightning.

|Absolutely awesome round for 30-30 win. Very consistent, and very affordable. This is my go to bullet for whitetail season.
|Paul R of Mt. Washington, Kentucky
|October 16, 2013
|Just started reloading, and reloading 7.62x39 for my Savage Scout w/ 308 bore. Wanted something for whitetails, so thought 30-30 bullets, tried some hornady 150, nosler bt, not real accurate. Even the 135gr smk were not that accurate. Maybe they just need a different powder, but these Sierra 125gr hp/fn with IMR 4198 put 3 inside a dime at 100 yards!

Two First-Timers Follow Buffington to Podium
Buffington Wins Legends Opener
Shaun Buffington ran in a familiar place on his way to winning the first NHMS legends race of the season. It was the two unfamiliar faces behind him that surprised in the 2013 opener. Teammates Dean Dezak (second) and Mike Alton (third) both made their first career appearances on the NHMS podium.
Dezak finished comfortably in second, but Alton was forced to contend with three-time NHMS winner, Tom Gray, throughout the 12-lap race. Gray, a teammate of Buffington's, has had more success, and Alton said after the race that he'd expected that he might get passed at some point.
The race in the Moat Mountain Road Course Legends Series was the first of a doubleheader on the weekend. The drivers will be back on the 1.6-mile course again at 11 a.m. on Sunday morning.

Sign of the Cross
The Sign of the Cross is a symbolic ritual gesture which marks the four points of the Cross on Calvary over one's body. It also represents loving God with all one's heart, soul, mind and strength. The sign of the cross is most often made at the name of the Holy Trinity, to show reverence for a saint, holy object, or person, at the beginning or end of a prayer, to show humility or agreement, or on numerous other occasions which may vary slightly according to regional/ethnic practice or personal piety. Some Orthodox may make the sign of the cross a hundred or more times during a Divine Liturgy or lengthy service.
How to
In general Orthodox practice, the right hand is used. The thumb, index, and middle finger are brought to a point. They are then placed on the forehead after that moved down to the sternum. Finally the hand is moved to the right shoulder and horizontally across to the left. Oriental Orthodox and Western Christians, however, go in reverse order on this last step, from left to right. As one moves through the Sign, one recites, at the forehead, "In the name of the Father"; at the sternum, "and of the Son"; and across the shoulders, "and of the Holy Spirit, Amen." There are variations that occur. For example, some may mark a very large cross, or a very small one. Some may say "and of the Holy Spirit" across the shoulders. After moving the hand from one shoulder to the other, it may return to the sternum. It may be accompanied instead at times with the words of the Jesus Prayer in some form, or simply "Lord have mercy".
The thumb, index and middle finger brought to a point symbolize the Trinity, three persons sharing a single essence. The remaining two fingers are kept pressed close together and to the palm, representing the human and divine natures united together in Jesus Christ.
There is no dispute over the centrality of the Cross in the spirituality and understanding of the Church. The first definitive written records of Christians "making the sign of the Cross" come from the late 2nd and early 3rd centuries. Scholars have long noted that practices/beliefs were assumed and already well in effect (like the Scriptures) by the time they were in written form.
The current evidence is that the sign of the Cross was traced with one finger (most likely the thumb) on the forehead (and over the mouth when reading Scripture) and over anyone or anything Christians wished to consecrate. The Cross was traced with the right hand (unless one was disabled, etc.), which itself symbolized intimacy with the Christ "who sits at the right hand of God."
The making the sign of the Cross on one's forehead corresponds with the ancient cultures of the Scriptures (e.g. Genesis 4; Ezekiel 9). Marks on the forehead conspicuously display and proclaim the spiritual condition or identity of the person as seen and identified by God. Phylacteries (small leather pouches with symbols of the Torah inside them) were worn around the right hand and forehead of the pious Jew. In the New Testament, marks on the forehead or right hand identified people with God or alignment with the antichrist. On the forehead of martyred Christians (Revelation 14 & 22), it symbolized the very Name of God Himself. It was easy to equate making the sign of the Cross on the forehead with the Greek letter "X" (chi - the first letter of the name of Christ in Greek) as it was made with the same gesture.
By the 4th century, the sign of the Cross began to be traced by two (the index and middle) fingers. It also reflected how bishops or (beginning with the 4th century) presbyters (when they began to function as priests) blessed others; the classic Roman gesture for public speaking was the two fingers extended. By the 8th century, the two fingers came to symbolize the two natures of Christ and to distinguish Christians in the East under Islamic rule from Muslims who, as some sources from that time show, lifted "one finger when asking Allah for forgiveness."
Evidence from the 8th century shows the shift of tracing the sign of the Cross to over the body in the wake of the Iconoclastic Controversy. In destroying/removing icons from churches, the iconoclasts replaced them with paintings/mosaics of large Crosses (usually a major sized one in the apse of the Altar), a symbol with which all, iconoclasts and iconophiles (lovers of icons), could agree. With no icons in the churches, other symbols (like the making of the sign of the Cross) were greatly magnified by iconoclasts to show that they were not trying to be impious. While Iconoclasm was heretical, the symbol of the Cross was not. After the controversy ended with the Seventh Ecumenical Council (787), iconophiles continued the practice of tracing the sign of the Cross over the body (head to heart to shoulders—right to left, as when traced on the forehead, in both East and West) with the two fingers.
By mid 9th century the "three fingers" are replacing the "two finger sign" (though in the East it did not become universal until after the 17th century following the Old Believer Schism in Russia), expanding the focus that through the crucified Jesus we enter communion with the Holy Trinity. In the 13th century in the West, we have the first mention of some who "make the sign of the Cross from the left to the right," the reasons varying from crossing from misery (left) to glory (right) to mirroring the priest blessing them. Oriental Orthodox Christians (Coptic, Armenian, etc.) cross themselves left to right, seeing the meaning as praying that they not be on the left but on the right of the Judgment Seat (whether this developed independently or as a result of later Western/Latin influence is, as of yet, historically unclear). Later centuries would see the West become universal in not only crossing from left to right but also in changing from using the three fingers to using the whole (open) hand.
Regardless of how the Cross was (is) traced in the various traditions, the Church has understood its expression as concretely identifying oneself with the Lord who, through His crucifixion, fully participates in our humanity, which then, as seen in the resurrection-ascension, brings us to organically participate in the life of the Trinity. The Cross symbolizes ("brings together") God's organic descent into death and darkness, through which we are given back to Him. It also symbolizes our embracing the spiritual battle within the deserts of our hearts and choosing to see things from the perspective of the God who shows His all-powerful and sovereign Love by giving up control of His very life on the Cross.
Use of the sign
In Eastern Orthodox prayers, the sign of the cross is usually made whenever all three persons of the Trinity are addressed, or even alluded to. Before commencing any prayer, in fact, the Sign is typically made. Upon entering a church, and the sanctuary within the church, one will make the Sign partly as an outward sign of reverence and veneration. Orthodox laymen will make the Sign as one way of venerating an icon; Priests have many more specific occasions upon which to make the Sign. Many members of the Faith will make the Sign in a way that may seem idiomatic to some: for example, if a member is exposed to blasphemy, he or she may make the Sign, partly to suggest subtly and politely to the speaker that an offense has been committed. Some members of the Faith will use the Sign in what almost appears to be a wish for luck; it may be that, or a part of an unsaid prayer for God's blessing, as when beginning a journey or a sports competition.
The Sign of the Cross has minor variants as well: it can be made in the air to bless objects, and it may trace a very small trajectory, such as on the forehead (as the earliest descriptions of the Sign suggest). For a member of the Faith, perhaps the essential element of the Sign is that it physically indicates the direct relevance of the Cross, of the Sacrifice of Jesus, to one's person or surroundings. It is an engagement of the body that affirms what the faithful professes. It is also a sign to others of what one professes.

fsck stands for "file system check" and it is used to check and optionally repair one or more Linux file systems. Normally, the fsck program will try to handle filesystems on different physical disk drives in parallel to reduce the total amount of time needed to check all of the filesystems (see:
man fsck).
The Arch Linux boot process conveniently takes care of the fsck procedure for you and will check all relevant partitions on your drive(s) automatically on every boot. Hence, there is usually no need to resort to the command-line unless necessary.
- 1 Boot time checking
- 2 Tips and tricks
- 3 Troubleshooting
Boot time checking
There are two players involved:
- mkinitcpio offers you the option to fsck your root device before mounting it via the fsck hook. If you do this, you should mount root read-write via the appropriate
rwoption on the kernel commandline.
- systemd will fsck all filesystems assuming three things are true: the filesystem has a fsck pass number greater than 0 (either from
/etc/fstabor a user-supplied unit file), the filesystem is not already mounted read-write, and you've not elected to disable fsck entirely via the kernel commandline option
mkinitcpio.conf and use
ro on the kernel commandline.
Forcing the check
You can also force fsck at boot time by passing
fsck.mode=force, as a kernel parameter. This will check every filesystem you have on the machine.
Tips and tricks
Attempt to repair damaged blocks
To automatically repair damaged portions, run:
# fsck -a
Repair damaged blocks interactively
To repair damaged portions, run :
# fsck -r <drive>
Changing the check frequency
By default, fsck checks a filesystem every 30 boots (counted individually for each partition). To change the frequency of checking, run:
# tune2fs -c 20 /dev/sda1
In this example,
20 is the number of boots between two checks.
Note that
1 would make it scan at every boot, while
0 would stop scanning altogether.
# dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda1 | grep -i 'mount count'
fstab options
fstab is a system configuration file and is used to tell the Linux kernel which partitions (file systems) to mount and where on the file system tree.
A typical
/etc/fstab entry may look like this:
/dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 0 1 /dev/sda2 /other ext4 defaults 0 2 /dev/sda3 /win ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
The 6th column (in bold) is the fsck option.
- 0 = Do not check.
- 1 = First file system (partition) to check;
/(root partition) should be set to 1.
- 2 = All other filesystems to be checked.
Can't run fsck on a separate /usr partition
- Make sure you have the required hooks in
/etc/mkinitcpio.confand that you remembered to re-generate your initramfs image after editing this file.
- Check your fstab! Only the root partition needs "1" at the end, everything else should have either "2" or "0". Carefully inspect it for other typos, as well.
ext2fs : no external journal
There are times (due to power failure) in which an ext(3/4) file system can corrupt beyond normal repair. Normally, there will be a prompt from fsck indicating that it cannot find an external journal. In this case, run the following commands:
Unmount the partition based on its directory
# umount <directory>
Write a new journal to the partition
# tune2fs -j /dev/<partition>
Run an fsck to repair the partition
# fsck -p /dev/<partition>

Ouya hits retail amidst backer unrest as units fail to arrive
Much-hyped Android console Ouya hits retail today, yet many backers of the device are yet to receive their machine.
I am pissed," Ouya boss Julie Uhrman stated. Some of you have not yet received your OUYA – and, to you, I apologise. I did not promise to ship to *most* of you before we hit store shelves. I promised to ship to *all* of you. I've been reading your comments, and we are working to solve this.
We delivered your OUYAs to our partner in May, and since then they have been in their custody. We paid for shipping, yet the deliveries remain incomplete. We know everyone is getting their OUYA, but it is taking longer than we expected."
Uhrman even claims that the company has boosted its customer service team to try and help alleviate the problem.
We are working hard to get you answers, and more importantly, to fix this," she added. On our end, we have tripled our customer service team so we can respond as quickly as possible to your questions (though the answer may still be that it's in transit). We are working with our partners to resolve any administrative issues related to undelivered boxes (errors in shipping addresses, customs holds, etc.).
I'm told that despite our best efforts, it may take another two weeks or more for some of these units to arrive."
Ouya's head of operations Ken Stephens added: As you may be aware, we manufacture OUYA in mainland China with our fulfilment partner in Hong Kong who is responsible for the individual shipments to you all.
Over the past few months, we encountered and conquered many challenges spanning both hardware and software in order to bring the best product we could to market. We have tried to make sure that the challenges we faced did not impact our early supporters, but unfortunately we came up short.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of those who haven't yet received OUYA are international backers. It just takes a lot longer to ship to some countries. All of these units HAVE left Hong Kong, and you have received your tracking email. So, based on the date of your shipping-confirmation email, your OUYA will arrive within 15 to 17 days from that date.
Please accept my personal apology for not yet delivering on our promise."
These platitudes are doing little to pacify Ouya backers, however. Here's a selection of reactions posted to Ouya's Facebook page:
Hey, you're welcome, OUYA, for being an early backer. Those consoles you sent to Best no Buy? Those are ours. You told me to "hurry" to pre order before Feb 4th so I could get my console by April, not after the fucking street launch in late June. Who knows how long I'll be waiting, too. Your customer service loves taking down information they already know about. Your company has done a piss-poor job with communication to its customers."
The deal was that if you helped them back it then you would get the console early. Had that not been a deal then not as many people would have backed them."
Still waiting for the Ouya I backed being a Kickstarter. Quite frankly I am PISSED as being one of the many people who backed you guys, but now getting NO PRIVILEGE of doing so AT ALL. If I would order it at Amazon I might already have it, but instead I'm still waiting. And yes, I know you guys apologised to your Kickstarter supporters, but from my point of view this is just a major fail. When I ordered it I thought I might use it as part of the media coverage we provide at my work, but... yeah, by the looks of it that's not going to be useful at all..."
The journey hasn't begun until you rectify your terrible support for your backers that made this thing possible. What do we get in the end? "Sorry, here's your late console." Like that'll give you any credibility in the future."
I completely understand that things get caught up in transit, it happens. But I think making announcements about it being available in stores is a kick in the crotch to those who are still waiting. I would've held off on such announcements until KS & preorders were fulfilled. This is just rubbing salt into a wound, albeit a first world problem. I'm one of the lucky few who received theirs a few weeks ago so am completely speaking up for those who haven't. Honestly it's nothing to be jazzed over, the whole system is weak and it's sat gathering dust after an hour or two messing with it. Doesn't mean that people shouldn't have them in their hands already, though."
Early backer, still waiting with a tracking code that isn't working. And that's it - it's out in stores. I believed in you. I know it's kickstarter - for me that means it's ok if the product is late. BUT if it's in store and backers didn't get it - that's not acceptable. And we won't treat a well funded slick startup like yours the same way we treat the really small projects. We expect more and you have failed us.
Like hundreds of others here, I will pile on and say, "Still waiting for my pre-order." Absolutely zero communication since the automated preorder confirmation. Shipping to retail first is a slap in the face to everyone who had high hopes for this "company." Good luck getting anyone to buy your next product."
My kickstarter console is apparently somewhere near Hong Kong if I'm to believe the tracking system. I'd moan about how Ouya really screwed the pooch on this one but, to be perfectly honest, I no longer care. In a year's time Ouya will probably be forgotten. A product like this is only a success if those who backed it can be enthusiastic about it. That moment has long passed."

Box Score - Game 1
Box Score - Game 2
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The U.S. Coast Guard Academy defeated MIT, 16-2 and 14-5, in a pair of New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) softball games on Monday. The Bears improved to 9-16 overall and 4-6 in league play while the Engineers fell to 4-15 on the year and 1-7 in the NEWMAC.
Coast Guard wasted little time getting on the scoreboard as it posted four runs during the first inning of the opening game. Leanna Minton notched a lead-off single up the middle and then stole second and third before a single by Annette Boston brought her home. Several defensive miscues helped the Bears increase their lead during the first frame.
The visitors tacked on two more runs in the second inning but were held scoreless in the subsequent frame. MIT's offense came to life in the bottom of the third as it narrowed the gap to 6-1. Megan Kercher reached on a fielder's choice and later scored on Jessica Oleinik's single up the middle. Coast Guard responded by tallying five runs in the fourth and fifth innings to put the game out of reach. The Engineers posted the final run of the game when a sacrifice fly by Oleinik plated Kercher, who originally reached on a single up the middle.
Boston went 4-for-5 and totaled four runs scored and a RBI for Coast Guard. Minton turned in a 3-for-5 performance while compiling two runs scored and a RBI. Carin Sweeney had an efficient outing at the plate as she hit 3-for-4 and scored three runs. In her three at-bats, Courtney Wolf picked up two RBI and two runs scored. On the mound, Crystal Lee Coonan improved to 8-11 as she allowed six hits and struck out three in five innings.
Lily Keung, Chelsea Ostrander, Oleinik, Keri Dixon, Holly Jeffrey, and Kercher each recorded a hit for MIT. Oleinik earned a pair of RBI which both came on runs scored by Kercher. Oleinik took the loss on the hill, surrendering 14 hits while striking out four in 4.2 innings. Leah Bogsted picked up the final out of the game by fanning the only batter she faced.
In the nightcap, the Engineers got on the board with two runs in the first. Ostrander registered an infield single and then scored on Oleinik's double to left field. The Cardinal and Gray loaded the bases as Dixon was hit by a pitch and Bogsted singled back to Coonan in the circle. Kaitlyn McCartney drew a walk which brought Oleinik home.
Coast Guard countered with seven runs in the second inning, capped with a grand slam by Amanda Frederick to centerfield. MIT bounced back in the bottom-half of the frame with consecutive singles from Keung, Ostrander, and Oleinik to load the bases. Dixon doubled to centerfield and Oleinik scored on Bogsted's ground out to second base to narrow the gap to 7-5. This was as close as it would get as the Bears registered two runs in the third and sixth innings to go along with three in the fifth.
Boston hit 3-for-4 to go along with two RBI as Wolf went 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Coonan earned her second win of the day, tallying 12 hits, two strikeouts, and two walks in six innings.
Dixon went 3-for-3 and earned two RBI as Oleinik was 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a RBI. Ostrander bolstered MIT's offense with a 2-for-3 performance including two runs scored. On the mound, Bogsted's ledger lowered to 3-7 on the year as she allowed 13 hits and struck out eight.
Both teams will continue action on Wednesday, April 9. MIT will host NEWMAC foe Babson College while Coast Guard will host Trinity College

A thought and a modest suggestion
Maybe it is just me but I am becoming convinced that we are in the beginning stages of a home-baking movement that I think has some legs and will be around for a long while. I am refering to the use of the standard 1kg flour, 2 loaves, dutch-oven recipes. Sure, there is a lot of other kind of bread to be baked and many other shapes and sizes than the 1kg boule but the Robertson/Forkish model for hearth loaves yields a consistantly fine product for the home baker and it is flexible enough in ingredients to keep us all busy and satisfied for a while. So, here is my suggestion, especially to Floyd. Why don't we build a forum category for DO Recipes. If we assume that they have to follow the 1000 gm standard then we can all develop and/or convert, test and share recipes that use that format.
This weekend, for example, I worked on converting one of my favorite breads to this format. I went back to the Essential Columbia recipe in Glazer's book and worked on converting it to 1000 gm total flour, yielding 2 boules and baked in the DO. I am just now working through the time and temps issues when you use the DO baking technique. My first attempt was about 90% of what I want. Are others doing this with old favorite recipes? If so, let's collect them. Are others inventing their own using these methods? If so, let's collect them. My next project after this one is to work on a sesame encrusted durham flour recipe.
What do you all think of a DO fourm?

Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise have been down in New Orleans, LA. visiting Tom Cruise on the set of his new movie Oblivion. On Wednesday (March 28) – Katie was seen carrying Suri and holding a cup of coffee at the park. The 5-year-old wore a polka-dot pink top with a twirly white skirt.
On Sunday (April 2) – Katie and her parents Kathleen and Martin took Suri out shopping in Baton Rouge. At one point – the wind blew Suri's hat off. Grandma was right there to help retrieve it!
Last week Suri and her mom flew in from New York City where they enjoyed a helicopter ride, hanging out at Chelsea Piers, and making pottery at a store.
Tom also has two movies coming out this year – One Shot and Rock of Ages. The new movie he's shooting right now is a futuristic thriller and also stars Melissa Leo and Morgan Freeman.

ECU senior will miss the game against Memphis
GREENVILLE, NC Jan. 28, 2013 – East Carolina senior guard Shamarr Bowden has been suspended for one game by head coach Jeff Lebo following Bowden's ejection from the Pirates' 68-67 loss to UTEP on Saturday.
Conference USA has accepted Lebo's decision as an appropriate penalty for the incident.
Bowden was assessed with a flagrant foul and ejected at the 12:30 mark of the second half.
"I'm very disappointed in Shamarr's actions Saturday night," Lebo said. "There is no place for that in our sport and we don't tolerate it in our program.
"His behavior was very uncharacteristic, but unfortunately he let his emotions get the best of him. Shamarr is very remorseful about his conduct and understands the consequences. I know he'll use this as a constructive learning experience to become a better player and better man."
Bowden, a 6-foot-4 native of Greensboro, ranks sixth on the team scoring and 12th in Conference USA with 1.50 3-pointers made per game. He started each of the first four league games before sustaining an injury that kept him out of the UAB contest last Wednesday.
"I apologize to Konner [Tucker] for my actions Saturday night," Bowden said. "I also apologize to the Miners, my coaches, my teammates, fellow students and the fans. I'm deeply sorry for losing my composure and not controlling my emotions. In the future I will continue to compete hard and display better sportsmanship toward everyone."
Neither Lebo or Bowden will comment further on the situation.
The Pirates will host C-USA co-leader Memphis on Wednesday inside Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.

- Teeny-Tiny
- What I Love About My Small Home:
- I really love that my house ('Minim House') contains everything I need to live fully, without feeling compromised or cluttered. I can have a dinner party for 8, take an overnight guest on the 8' couch, cook in a highly functional 10' galley kitchen (with space for the KitchenAid, food dehydrator, bread maker, 60 quart jars of dried food, etc), keep a guitar and a full size keyboard (under the folding desktop), have movie night with friends on the pull down projection screen, keep plenty of clothes and equipment in a 5' closet, and have plenty of shelf space for a bar, 200 books, sewing machine, etc. I also love that the house is almost entirely off-grid, with PV panels on the roof for power and an integrated rainwater catchment and 3 stage filtration system for potable water. And it's great that if I needed to, I can move it anywhere- it's on a trailer bed.
- Three of My Best Tips and Tricks for Creating a Successful Small Space::
- 1) A marine table system may be raised / lowered / swiveled in 4 floor sockets to function as kitchen island/bar, second desk, coffee table, dining table, or a bedside table. For dining, the Cubista stool from Resource Furniture unpacks from 1 stool to 5.
2) Eliminate all walls, all closed cabinets and lofts at eye level, and maximize window space.
3) Hide bed under the work platform, which allows for desk area and a full size closet space above it. When partially pulled out and locked, the bed also provides additional seating for 3 (in addition to the 8' sofa).

One day Seminar with Toby Threadgill: Internal strength and jujutsu principles
Takamura ha Shindo Yoshin ryu
One day Seminar with Toby Threadgill, Menkyo Kaiden
Internal strength and jujutsu principles
Saturday January 11th
10:00 am -- 5:00pm
Senpokan Dojo
1418 E. Wilshire Ave.
Santa Ana, Ca. 92705
For registration and information contact:
In Takamura ha Shindo Yoshin ryu (TSYR) our internal training is divided into two categories, the Happo Shinden Nairiki no gyo and Happo Shinden Misogi no gyo. The Nairiki no gyo are 8 kata manifesting both an omote and ura version. The omote versions are gaiden, or teachings allowed to be demonstrated or taught openly.
The Nairiki no gyo are solo kata that incorporate specific body movement and physical dynamics required for proper execution of kata. They are both specific and general in their value as a training tool. The omote versions are usually taught in three levels of complexity, starting as simple movement & relaxation, then progressing to include specific structural alignment and finally stressing specific muscular dynamics.
The most fundamental benefit obtained thru the performance the omote Nairiki no gyo is the cultivation of integrated muscular strengthening. The greater benefit of this type of body training is that it inculcates an integrated form of muscular power rather than one that is sectional or isolated.
Another important aspect of our omote kata relates to developing bone structure awareness. Proper structural awareness allows the body to "rest" efficiently on its framework utilizing minimum muscular tension to remain erect. Structural relaxation of the musculature increases body awareness with the goal of increasing levels of internal sensitivity and connection to ones base.
This creates the sense of having a truly connected body, one that feels and moves in unified harmony. When opposing forces are met by this body it is able to feel and respond in a coordinated manner that is a genuine expression of the body's unified capabilities.
Further exploration of our omote kata teaches how to create pathways that allow us to re-channel energy (applied force) away from our center of gravity. The utilization of structural alignment and controlled relaxation to re-channel forces so they travel thru our bodies and into our base, making our base stronger and more able to resist opposing forces without the accompanying tension employed in an unconnected body structure.
The concepts and principles in the solo kata are integrated into our paired kata. Every paired kata in TSYR employs numerous theories found in the solo kata. The solo kata were created to function as "identifiers" or customized training methods that allow the student concentrated access to the specific body skills deemed necessary for successful application of TSYR technique. Some of these principles are obvious while others are hidden deeply inside the kata waiting to be discovered by the student.
In this seminar we will explore some of the nairiki omote, associate exercises (kunren) for developing these skills, partner practices, and how it relates to the application of jujutsu principles and techniques.

Quote:Sorry everyone, but pressure points for combat aren't accupuncture points!
Quote:Okay, what about the concept of pressure points being acupuncture points? Well, maybe then the answer is that a pressure point is an acupuncture point? Many people use the acupuncture charts as maps to where pressure points are located. These have to be the official/legitimate pressure points, dont they?That answer, by my definition, is also wrong. And NO, the charts tell the locations of ACUPUNCTURE points NOT the location of pressure points.

cop cars been on our bad word the last past week.
Because the 'dreas for the gangsters homeboy,
hands is the language for the 'bangers homeboy.
And its dangerous homeboy,
get your brains blow for how you do your fingers homeboy.
Heat bad word we popping them hot one's,
dump them out bend the block, shaken before the cops come.
listen for sirens, they don't got none,
back another lap catch a straggler with a shotgun.
Hittin them up what that Grove Street like,
in a dirty sling shot and old Levi's.

|Condition or disease
|Femoral Neck Fractures Intertrochanteric Fracture
|Procedure: Gamma3 Intramedullary Nails (Stryker) Procedure: Sliding Hip Screws
|Not Applicable
Hip fractures are becoming a more prevalent issue worldwide, leading to profound morbidity, and in some cases, mortality. Currently the most common method of surgical treatment includes the use of a sliding hip screw over a Gamma intramedullary nail, but there is conflicting evidence regarding which device has a lower revision surgery rate and complication rate. Recent improvements in implant design of the Gamma3 nail, demonstrating decreased rates of femoral shaft fractures and improved function, provide compelling rationale for the conduct of a large, definitive trial.
This trial is a definitive, multi-center, concealed randomized controlled trial. Surgeons will use one of the two surgical strategies in patients who have sustained a trochanteric fracture; the Gamma3 intramedullary nail or the sliding hip screw. Clinical assessments will occur at the time of hospital admission, post-surgery, 13 weeks, 26 weeks, 52 weeks, and 104 weeks.

Active Comparator: 1
Gamma3 Intramedullary Nails
Procedure: Gamma3 Intramedullary Nails (Stryker)
The Gamma3 nail is cannulated for Guide-Wire-controlled insertion, and features a conical tip for optimal alignment with the inner part of the cortical bone. A single distal Locking Screw is provided to stabilize the nail in the medullary canal and to help to prevent rotation in complex fractures.

Active Comparator: 2
Sliding Hip Screws
Procedure: Sliding Hip Screws
The sliding hip screw is a single larger diameter partially threaded screw, which is affixed to the proximal femur with a side plate (with a minimum of two holes and a maximum of four holes) and no supplemental fixation.
Other Names:
- Health Related Quality of Life [ Time Frame: Up to 104 weeks ]To assess the impact of Gamma3 intramedullary nails versus sliding hip screws on health-related quality of life as measured by the EuroQol-5D at 52 weeks in individuals with trochanteric fractures.
- Health Related Quality of Life [ Time Frame: Up to 104 weeks ]To assess the impact of Gamma3 intramedullary nails versus sliding hip screws on health-related quality of life as measured with the Parker mobility score and the Harris Hip Score.
- Fracture healing rates [ Time Frame: Up to 104 weeks ]A fracture is to be considered healed when there is obliteration of the fracture lines by newly formed bone along the cortices and within the trabecular bone on anteroposterior and lateral (or oblique) radiographs.
- Fracture-related adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 104 weeks ]Including mortality, femoral shaft fracture, avascular necrosis (although rare in trochanteric fractures), nonunion, malunion (shortening, varus deformity, valgus deformity and rotational malunion), implant breakage or failure, and infection (i.e., superficial and deep).
- Revision surgery rates [ Time Frame: Up to 104 weeks ]Any unplanned surgery after the initial fixation to promote fracture healing (non-union), relieve pain (avascular necrosis, early or late implant failure), treat infection, or improve function will be considered a study event.

|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adult men or women aged 18 years and older (with no upper age limit).
- An intertrochanteric fracture (stable or unstable), AO Type 31-A1 or 31-A2, confirmed with anteroposterior and lateral hip radiographs, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
- Low energy fracture (defined as a fall from standing height).
- No other major trauma.
- Patient was ambulatory prior to fracture, though they may have used an aid such as a cane or a walker.
- Anticipated medical optimization of the patient for operative fixation of the proximal femur.
- Operative treatment within 7 days after the trauma.(Operative treatment should take place as soon as possible as permitted by each institution's standard of care.)
- Provision of informed consent by patient or proxy.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Associated major injuries of the lower extremity (i.e., ipsilateral and/or contralateral fractures of the foot, ankle, tibia, fibula, or knee; dislocations of the ankle, knee, or hip).
- Retained hardware around the affected proximal femur.
- Infection around the proximal femur (i.e., soft tissue or bone).
- Patients with disorders of bone metabolism other than osteoporosis (i.e., Paget's disease, renal osteodystrophy, or osteomalacia).
- Patients with Parkinson's disease severe enough to increase the likelihood of falling or severe enough to compromise rehabilitation.
- Patients with a subtrochanteric fracture.
- Patients with a pathologic fracture.
- Patients with a reverse oblique fracture pattern, fracture AO Type 31-A3.
- Obesity in the judgment of the attending surgeon.
- Off-label use of the implant.
- Patients with a previous history of frank dementia that would interfere with assessment of the primary outcome (i.e., EQ-5D at 1 year).
- Likely problems, in the judgment of the Site Investigators, with maintaining follow-up. We will, for example, exclude patients with no fixed address, those who report a plan to move out of town in the next year, or intellectually challenged patients without adequate family support.
- Patient is enrolled in another ongoing drug or surgical intervention trial.
- If the attending surgeon believes that there is another reason to exclude this patient from INSITE. This reason will be documented on the case report forms (CRFs).
