VANCOUVER — When Buck Pierce was cut adrift by the B.C. Lions following the 2009 Canadian Football League season, his ex-teammates were disappointed to see him go.
Receiver Paris Jackson, in particular, took it harder than most. The two had roots going back to high school when Jackson's team from North Vancouver played an exhibition game in Crescent City, California, against a team that featured Pierce as a freshman signal-caller, and as teammates with the Lions, they had a tight bond on the field.
"Buck and I had a great chemistry," recalled Jackson. "I played the wide (receiver) position and he tended to find me in every little hole."
Pierce's departure opened the door for a young redhead named Travis Lulay to ascend to the starter's job with the Lions, while Pierce, whose history of injuries prompted the decision by Lions coach and GM Wally Buono, was unemployed briefly before the Winnipeg Blue Bombers took a flyer on him
And Sunday afternoon at BC Place Stadium, in a game overflowing with storylines, the one that rises above them all, and should play the largest role in determining who hoists the Grey Cup for the 99th time early this evening, is the matchup at quarterback between Pierce and Lulay.
Pierce's ex-mates were happy to see him get a chance with the Bombers, and while it's been more of the same in terms of Pierce's reckless style putting in harm's way and, too often, on the sidelines, he has found a way to get this team to the brink of a first Grey Cup title since 1990.
"He plays off the edge, and any time a quarterback plays like that, he tends to get hurt," said Jackson. "But I respect the kind of athlete he is — he gets back up. He might not be feeling a hundred per cent, but he's going to give you all he has."
"As a friend, I want to see him do well," added Lions slotback Geroy Simon. "I just don't want to see him play his best game that he's ever played. I'd like to see him play well, and we still win. That would be the ultimate goal. Buck was a teammate for a number of years, and he's been a friend since the day I met him. And you always want to see your friends play well, even when you play them. You just don't want them to beat you."
And both quarterbacks have that ability to do it on their own. Pierce's numbers paled in comparison with Lulay's this season — Lulay, quite rightly, was named the CFL's most outstanding player on Thursday night — but, like his former understudy, he makes plays when the Bombers absolutely need them to be made.
"I think Travis has a little bit stronger of an arm," said Calgary Stampeders offensive co-ordinator Dave Dickenson, who was the Lions' starting QB when Pierce arrived in the CFL. "But when Buck is healthy, they're both athletic, accurate, quick releases. I think Buck's got the quickest release in the game. They're both competitors, and tough guys — they're very similar. But I just think Buck's body, unfortunately, isn't up to the same speed as Travis' at this stage."
And the reason for that, of course, is that Pierce has put that body at risk far more than any CFL quarterback in recent years. Where Lulay (and most other CFL quarterbacks) will run with the ball and slide to avoid contact, Pierce will try to extend a play. It sometimes pays off with more yards, but often results in unnecessary contact to a body that has taken an awful lot of it.
"It's the way he plays, and some of it is self-inflicted," said Dickenson. "He's certainly a guy who takes more hits than he should, and sometimes you have to learn to fight another day. When the play's over, it's over — there's no need to take that second or third extra hit. But the courage he plays with — I think that's why his teammates love playing for him."
But Lulay's teammates are equally passionate about their own signal-caller, who has been simply splendid after the Lions got off to their horrid start to the 2011 season.
"Lulay is a quarterback that I haven't seen in a long time," said Jackson. "He has a little bit of Buck in him, a little bit of Dave Dickenson in him. He's just so accurate and so smart as a quarterback. I can't believe he's only 28. He's just one of those guys who's a real team leader. When he comes in the huddle, he's not super vocal, but he gives you a look. He makes eye contact with you. Buck didn't do that; he led by being vocal and he led by example. They're two different quarterbacks, and I respect them the same."

How can history help the global health community today?
The latest WHO Global Health Histories seminar tackled the difficult subject of antimicrobial resistance. And the actions we take today can benefit from an appreciation of those in history, writes Alexander Medcalf.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified antimicrobial resistance as a major global problem. Organisms that are able to adapt to resist attack by antibiotics, antivirals, and antimalarials mean that standard treatments are becoming ineffective. For some, the pressing concern is that without urgent efforts, large parts of the world will be plunged into a 'pre-antibiotic' era. World Health Day 2011 underlined this hard reality of antimicrobial resistance; "no action today, no cure tomorrow."
Since their discovery over seventy years ago, antibiotics have helped to revolutionise healthcare. But several factors now drive resistance, including the use of poor quality antimicrobials or when patients do not complete a full course of antibiotics as prescribed. The results are alarming. The WHO has reported that every year close to 440 000 new cases of drug-resistant tuberculosis emerge, resulting in approximately 150 000 deaths. In other instances the malaria parasite is developing resistance, and resistant strains causing gonorrhoea are restricting treatment choices. The WHO Director-General has warned that the world is on the brink of losing its miracle cures.
It was therefore fitting that on 11 January 2013 the first Global Health Histories seminar to be hosted outside of the WHO's Geneva headquarters should deal with this significant and urgent subject. Held at the WHO Regional Office for Europe in Copenhagen, the speakers were both high-profile experts in their field – Professor Christoph Gradmann of the University of Oslo and Dr Danilo Lo Fo Wong, Senior Adviser on Antimicrobial Resistance at the WHO Regional Office for Europe.
Professor Gradmann's presentation outlined the story of antibiotic resistance in medicine and public health after World War Two. It followed WHO-sponsored initiatives to support the establishment of international standards for antibiotic sensitivity testing. Dr Lo Fo Wong spoke of the WHO's renewed efforts in the field of antimicrobial resistance, detailing its more comprehensive approach and broader partnerships than ever before. The WHO has provided renewed advice and leadership on this issue.
Linking the two presentations in this way is a central feature of the Global Health Histories initiative, which has operated since 2005. It seeks to bring together academic speakers and WHO officials, and is based on the principle that an understanding of the past helps frame current discussions, and assists responses to present-day issues in global health. To date, more than sixty Global Health Histories seminars have been delivered in Geneva, examining subjects including Malaria; SARS; tobacco control; obesity; and Chlamydia.
The series has met with mounting support. Copenhagen's seminar, for instance, attracted a capacity audience at the venue and large numbers over the Internet . The popular webinars have allowed people from across the world to benefit from the important discussions, with the broadcasts being subsequently archived and made available to all. In Copenhagen, speakers and organisers were delighted by the energetic response of both audiences who were eager to discuss the topic during the event and also at length afterwards.
This latest seminar represented the first step in a major expansion of the Global Health Histories initiative, marking an important new collaboration between the organisers, the Centre for Global Health Histories at the University of York, UK and the WHO Regional Office for Europe. This will see important global health issues tackled at seminars in Copenhagen on a regular basis. This expansion has been possible thanks to the tireless energy of many individuals, not least of which is the Wellcome Trust, who have provided generous support to this and other events in the series. This year's Global Health Histories seminars will continue at the WHO's Geneva Headquarters from February. Now in its seventh year, the initiative continues to show that understanding the history of health can play a key role in helping the global public health community to better respond to the urgent challenges faced today.

Ararat man injured in small plane crash in Va.
Ararat man injured in small plane crash in Va.
NEW CASTLE, Va. —
Virginia State Police are investigating a small plane crash at a glider port that injured a North Carolina man.
State police tell media outlets that Kenneth Ray Gwyn of Ararat, N.C., was piloting the 1973 Cessna 172M when it crashed while taking off Sunday afternoon at the glider port in Craig County.
State police say the plane didn't have enough air speed to take off and tipped over on its nose. Its left wing hit the ground and the landing gear collapsed.
The Federal Aviation Administration has been notified of the crash.

Fireworks Danger: Even Sparklers Could Send You to the ER
It's illegal to light fireworks within city limits, but apparently the threat of a hefty fine isn't enough to deter all Missoula residents from striking a match.
For the last several nights, I have fallen asleep to the sound of explosives being detonated outside of my window. The noise is kind of a nuisance, but what really keeps me awake is the worry over someone getting hurt.
The thing about fireworks is that they are fast and unpredictable. Once you light the fuse, you have very little control over what happens next. They don't always shoot straight up into the sky, and a wayward explosive could do some serious damage in a residential area.
But even in a rural setting, there is nothing safe about fireworks, especially in the hands of people who have not been professionally trained. The risk of danger is even higher for children.
Each year, thousands of people are treated in emergency rooms across the country for fireworks-related injuries, and about half of them are children under the age of 15.
And it's not just Roman candles and cherry bombs that lead to ER visits — even sparklers are dangerous. They might seem innocent enough, but sparklers cause the majority of fireworks injuries in children under the age of 5. They burn at very high temperatures — up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit—and produce sparks that can burn skin, light clothes and hair on fire and cause permanent eye damage.
While attending public Fourth of July fireworks displays — such as the one at Southgate Mall in Missoula — is much safer, many people will still head out of town to have their own fireworks fun. If you plan to light fireworks this Fourth of July, remember these safety tips:
· Always follow the instructions on the label.
· Light one firework at a time.
· Do not let small children touch or light fireworks.
· Do not relight "duds" (fireworks that do not go off).
· Make sure you are clear of trees, dry foliage, buildings and other flammable structures.
· Have water nearby in case of emergency.

+ − Biography
Assemblyman Robert C. Oaks, R-C Macedon, a lifelong resident of the 130th Assembly District, began his 11th term in January 2013. The district includes all of Wayne County, the towns of Aurelius, Brutus, Cato, Conquest, Ira, Mentz, Montezuma, Sennett, Sterling and Victory in Cayuga County and the towns of Hannibal, Minetto, and Oswego in Oswego County.
From the time he was first elected in 1992, Assemblyman Oaks priorities have included improving New York States economic environment and the agricultural industry, as well as strengthening local government services. He continues to be a dedicated advocate for reducing taxes, enhancing educational opportunities and achieving government reforms. Central to his representation is his commitment to constituent service and help with state government issues.
In September 2011, Minority Leader Brian Kolb appointed Assemblyman Oaks as the Ranking Minority Member of the Ways and Means Committee. The committee is the Assemblys Fiscal Committee where any proposed legislation with tax or spending implications is considered, including the annual $132.5 billion state budget. The Ways and Means Committee is responsible for analyzing the Governors budget proposal, holding public budget hearings, forecasting state revenues and participating in joint conference committees. As Ranking Minority Member, Assemblyman Oaks leads the debate on the final enacted budget.
Assemblyman Oaks continues to serve on the Assemblys Rules Committee. Previously, Oaks was the Assemblys Deputy Minority Leader and, in 2012, was appointed by Minority Leader Kolb as one of six members on the Legislative Task Force on Redistricting. The Task Force held hearings throughout the state on redistricting proposals for legislative consideration on the district lines for the new state Assembly and Senate districts, as well as New Yorks 27 Congressional districts.
Assemblyman Oaks was raised on a fifth-generation family farm in North Rose. He graduated from North Rose-Wolcott Central School in 1970. He earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Colgate University in 1974 and went on to earn a master's degree in Recreation Administration from the University of Montana in 1976.
Assemblyman Oaks began his professional career in 1976 as Assistant Director of the Continuing Education Program for the Greece Central School District. In 1978, he was appointed director of the Wayne County Youth Bureau, a position he held for five years. Assemblyman Oaks was first elected to public office in 1982 as Wayne County Clerk. He was elected to three terms and served until his election to the New York State Assembly in 1992.
He has been a member of several community organizations. He presently serves on the board of directors of the Seneca Waterways Council, Boy Scouts of America and the Wayne County Community Endowment Advisory Board. He also has served on Wayne County United Ways Board of Directors and was twice chair of the county United Way Campaign. He is past President of the Wayne County Pre-Trial Services Board of Directors. Additionally, he has served as a member of the Macedon Recreation Commission, the Wayne County Youth Board, and as a youth baseball and soccer coach.
Assemblyman Oaks and his wife, Judy, reside in Macedon. They have two sons: Christopher is a math teacher in the Palmyra-Macedon Central School District and Jason is a Ph.D candidate at Cornell University, where he is studying international relations.

Adverse reaction to metal debris is a relatively recently described and often a silent complication of metal-on-metal (MOM) total hip replacements (THR). The Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital has been performing metal artefact reduction (MARS) MRI for 8 years in a variety of different types of MOM THR.
The aims of this review are to describe the experience of using MARS MRI in Norwich and to compare our experience with that published by other groups.
A MEDLINE keyword search was performed for studies including MRI in MOM THR. Relevant publications were reviewed and compared with published data from the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital. The similarities and differences between these data were compared and possible explanations for these discussed.
MARS MRI appears to be the most useful tool for diagnosing, staging and monitoring adverse reactions to metal debris (ARMD). There appears to be no clinically useful association between clinical and serological markers of disease and the severity of MR findings. Although severe early ARMD is associated with significant morbidity, mild disease is often stable for years. If patients with normal initial MR examinations develop ARMD, this usually occurs 7 years. A 1-year interval between MRI examinations is reasonable in asymptomatic patients.
There is a general international consensus that ARMD is prevalent in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with MOM THR and that while appearances vary with the type of prosthesis, there are characteristic features that make MARS MRI essential for diagnosis, staging and surveillance of the disease.

Last of the Robbers Roost Cowboys is an authentic tale that reads like good fiction and the hero even escapes by hopping a freight train. Move over Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, you've been local legends long enough. Make way for Moab's Bill Tibbetts.
A small rancher wronged by the big cattle outfits, in the 1920s Tibbetts became a fugitive from justice and hid out in what would become the most remote part of Canyonlands National Park—the Maze.
This book is the family's story sprinkled with excerpts from The Grand Valley Times and other newspapers, and it is solidly based on oral histories, published accounts, and even an inscription on a cave's ceiling.
This is the story of a real cowboy not a celluloid one. Tall, handsome, and rowdy, he couldn't be bluffed and he wouldn't be beaten, and when it came time for revenge Bill Tibbetts could make dozens of his enemies' cows disappear off cliffs and down steep canyon trails without leaving so much as a hair or a hoof.
Tibbetts could live on top of Island in the Sky in the dead of winter without a campfire, and though he preferred poached venison, he could eat fried grasshoppers if need be.
This story has everything—a loving mother, a murdered father, a patient uncle, a sidekick named Tom and a horse called Ute. Of course the horse had been a tough Indian pony and was surefooted enough to carry Tibbets out of the slickrock canyons of southeast Utah.
Last of the Robbers Roost Outlaws is that rare publishing phenomenon of a personal family story expertly handled by a regional writer who gets it all correct—the landscapes, the diction, the patterns of speech, the rifles, the pistols, and the creak of saddle leather.
Rarely has a family tale of the Old West been better told. Author Tom McCourt's engaging style is a new genre called narrative non-fiction. The dialogue is constructed but the scenes, the pacing, the personalities, the historical contexts, and the outcomes are all accurate. It's a delight to read.
I picked up this book during deer season. When I should have been chasing bucks, instead I was propped up in my truck thoroughly engrossed in the plot. Here's an example of author McCourt's skillful, spare prose, "The tops of the mountains were still wrapped in snow and a forest of oak brush spread leafless and barren across miles of rolling foothills and up the mountainsides. A blue winter's haze hung heavy in the air, filtering the sunshine like fine indigo silk."
The book begins with Bill Tibbetts' birth in a homestead log cabin south of Moab and then chronicles his father's murder by a cowardly, wife-beating drunk. Tibbetts' mother remarries but the step-father does not appeal to young Bill who gets bullied in the local schoolyard. His uncle advises, "It's not the size of the man in the fight that counts, it's the size of the fight in the man."
Bill Tibbetts learns to fight, and fight hard, but the book isn't just a story about a scrappy kid growing up in Mormon southeast Utah, the author also describes the last of the Ute Indian conflicts, overgrazing on public lands, range wars between cattlemen and sheepmen, and how hard it was for working cowboys and "small outfits" to get ahead. The reader learns about Bill Tibbetts' life and the tenacity it took to run cows in the Robbers Roost.
After spending 18 months at the Utah State Industrial School for juvenile offenders on a trumped up charge of horse theft, Tibbetts joined the Army to serve in World War I. Returning in uniform, he makes a deal with his mother to help tend her small cattle herd, and then Bill tries to settle a score with his stepfather---with his fists. Instead, they shake hands in public and you learn the measure of the man---Tibbetts' quick temper but also his honesty, his resolve, and his growing stature in the Moab community.
But he still doesn't have enough grass for his mother's cows and after a bleak season in Robbers Roost when a drought worsens an already damaged rangeland, he has the audacity to move the herd up to The Island in the Sky where other Moab cattlemen had their established winter range. Tibbetts was looking for a fight and he got one. He didn't expect the other cattlemen to like what he did, but he didn't think they'd shoot his mother's Herefords.
No one was right because grazing allotments had yet to be determined. Passage of the 1934 Taylor Grazing Act was still a decade away. The story of his careful and deliberate revenge is the heart of the book and a true tale of wilderness survival. And when he comes to shoot the sheriff, who is in cahoots with the big cattlemen, Tibbetts deliberately misses, but the sheriff definitely gets the message.
If you've got a cowboy on your Christmas list, skip the Stetson. Buy this book.

Five remaining "Dancing with the Stars" couples take to the ballroom floor during the semifinals on Monday, May 13 (8-10:01 p.m.). Each couple performs two routines, inching one step closer to the coveted mirror ball trophy.

Small Pieces Loosely Joined: A Unified Theory of the Web
Basic Books, Mar 27, 2002 - Computers - 223 pages
The Web has not been hyped enough. That's the startling thesis of this one-of-a-kind book that's sure to become a classic work of social commentary. Just as Marshall McLuhan forever altered our view of broadcast media, Weinberger shows that the new medium of the Web is not only altering social institutions such as business and government but, more important, is transforming bedrock concepts of our culture such as space, time, the public, and even reality itself.Weinberger introduces us to denizens of this new world, among them Zannah, whose online diary turns self-revelation into play; Tim Bray, whose map of the Web reveals what's at the heart of the new Web space; and Danny Yee and Claudiu Popa, part of the new breed of Web experts we trust despite their lack of qualifications. Through stories of life on the Web, an insightful take on some familiar (and some unfamiliar) Web sites, and a wicked sense of humor, Weinberger puts the Web into the social and intellectual context we need to begin assessing its true impact on our lives. The irony, according to Weinberger, is that this new technology is more in tune with our authentic selves than is the modern world. Funny, provocative, and ultimately hopeful, Small Pieces Loosely Joined makes us look at the Web--and at life--in a new light.From Small Pieces Loosely Joined: The Web has sent a jolt through our culture, zapping our economy, our ideas about the sharing of creative works, and possibly even institutions such as religion and government. Why? How do we explain the lightning charge of the Web? If it has fallen short of our initial hopes and fears about its transformational powers, why did it excite those hopes and fears in the first place? Why did this technology hit our culture like a bolt from Zeus?Suppose--just suppose--that the Web is a new world we're just beginning to inhabit...If the Web is changing bedrock concepts such as space, matter, time, perfection, public, knowledge, and morality--each a chapter of this book--no wonder we're so damn confused. That's as it should be. The Web is enabling us to rediscover what we've always known about being human: we are connected creatures in a connected world about which we care passionately...If this is true, then for all of the over-heated, exaggerated, manic-depressive coverage of the Web, we'd have to conclude that the Web in fact has not been hyped enough.

NASHVILLE – Here's hoping the third time's the charm.
For the third consecutive year, Tennessee Tech will play in the Ohio Valley Conference Women's Basketball championship game against UT Martin. Tech has suffered heartbreak the past two years, and gets another crack at it Saturday when the Golden Eagles meet the Skyhawks at 1:30 p.m. in Municipal Auditorium.
Tech advanced to the 2013 title game with a mind-numbing 61-57 victory over Belmont Friday afternoon, using two critical offensive rebounds late in the game to earn game-changing second chance baskets.
Those grabs on the offensive glass gave coach Jim Davis' team just enough breathing room despite Belmont pulling to within a single point three times.
In the final 33 seconds, a layup by Jala Harris, a free throw by Lashay Davis, and two final free throws from Diamond Henderson provided the difference.
So did a smashingly strong game from sophomore T'Keyah Williams, who posted 13 points, 14 rebounds and three blocked shots for her fifth double-double of the year. Harris led Tech in scoring with 15 points and also dished out six assists, while Henderson dropped in 12 points and added three assists and two steals.
Second-seeded Tech (19-11) bids for its 10th OVC Tournament title, and plays in the championship game for the time 22nd in the 32-history of the event. Third-seeded UTM (18-14) advanced to the title game with a 71-69 victory over top-seeded Eastern Illinois Friday.
In addition to those three double-figure scorers, Kellie Cook added eight and Molly Heady (in photo) notched seven points and four rebounds.
That pair provided what might have been the most important plays of the day for the Golden Eagles.
With 3:43 to play and Tech clinging to a three-point edge, Cook pulled down a weakside offensive rebounds, held her ground, and muscled back to the basket with a putback that made it a 54-49 lead.
Less than a minute later, Heady slipped through a crowd of players battling for rebound position, grabbed the carom and tossed it back in. That basket gave Tech a seven-point lead, 56-49, with 2:49 to play.
Back-to-back three-pointers from Katie Carroll and Jordyn Luffman cut the difference to one point, 56-55, before Heady blocked a shot and grabbed another rebound, and Harris sliced through traffic at the other end for a layup with 33 seconds to play for a three-point lead.
Another Belmont basket brought the Bruins within one again, and Davis made a free throw with 20 seconds left for a two-point margin.
Belmont missed a jumper with four seconds remaining, Henderson grabbed the defensive rebound, and canned two free throws with two seconds to go for the final score.
Katie Brooks scored 12 of her team-high 16 points in the second half to lead the Bruins (18-13). She also grabbed six rebounds. Adrienne Tarrence added 12 points and Molly Ernst finished with 10. Luffman had eight points and six rebounds.
Saturday's title game will be televised by WCTE TV in the mid-state region, and nationally on ESPN3. The game broadcast can be heard on the Golden Eagle Sports Network (Fox Sports Radio 106.1 The Eagle), with Roger Ealey calling the action.

Stauer is giving away a FREE Amethyst necklace (170 ctw) that retails for $249. You do have to pay their standard processing and shipping, which is $24.95 (you will also get a $20 off your next order coupon with your order).
This would make a beautiful necklace if you want to incorporate a little color into your wedding attire or you could use it for the rehearsal dinner.
Here is what their website says about the necklace:
She was Amethyst, a maiden devoted to virtue. He was Dionysus, the notorious Greek god of intoxication and revelry. He loved her, but she wanted to wait for someone more suitable. He was a god, used to getting what he wanted. The chase was on. But once Diana saw that Amethyst was serious about keeping her heart pure, the goddess transformed her into a statue of perfect white quartz. Dionysus stopped partying for amoment and wept. He spilled his wine and infused the statue with the rich violet color we now know as amethyst.
It's not what you would call a happy ending. Luckily we discovered that something good came from their ill-fated romance. Specifically, this spectacular 170-Carat Amethyst Maiden Necklace. And the incredible price may just have you shedding tears of joy. For a limited time, you can get 170 carats of polished purple gems.
The luxury myth has been busted. You're probably wondering why any jewelry company would give away a perfectly beautiful genuine gemstone necklace at an incredible price. But I promise you that we have a reason. The simple answer is that we want to get your attention. Once you get a closer look at our quality and selection, we're certain you'll be back for more. And if you're already a devoted Stauer client, this is just another example of how we keep the incredible offers coming.
Drape yourself in purple perfection. This necklace is a knockout. Each rounded bead retains its own unique shape and just the right amount of translucence to let the light ignite the velvety, violet hues. Each gem is hand set on doubleknotted jeweler's thread. The entire length secures with a .925 lobster clasp layered in gold. The 18″ necklace (with 2″ extender) hangs with the same weight and elegance as similar strands that sell for hundreds more.
Extremely limited offer. We'll also include a $20 Stauer Gift Coupon with your delivery, good towards your very next purchase. If you're interested in getting 170 carats of genuine amethyst…we recommend you reserve your necklace now. Because as Dionysus knows all too well, the party can't last forever.
You pay nothing except basic shipping and processing costs of $24.95.

Idesk is a simple program for putting icons on your X desktop. It can also manage your wallpaper with a built in changer similar to that found in Windows 7.
idesk is in community, so just run:
# pacman -S idesk
then set up in your home directory:
$ mkdir ~/.idesktop $ cp /usr/share/idesk/dot.ideskrc ~/.ideskrc
$ cp /usr/share/idesk/default.lnk ~/.idesktop/
(the default icon just runs Xdialog to display a little message but can be used as a template)
The idesk package doesn't come with a man page, but it does come with a readme file: /usr/share/idesk/README. There's also documentation on SourceForge.net, even though most of the options are self-explanatory.
Background Options
If you're using another program for setting wallpaper (such as feh) the defaults will work fine (you may want to set
Background.File and
Background.Source to "/" to silence the error messages).
Background.Source seems to take predence over
Background.File; however, it is ignored if
Background.Delay is set to 0.
Supported wallpaper formats include JPEG, PNG, GIF, and XPM.
Idesk looks in ~/.idesktop for files which names end with ".lnk" for icons. Each file should define one icon (if you attempt to define a second icon is will be silently ignored). Aside from ending with ".lnk", the files' names are not important.
Example for Chromium:
table Icon Caption: Chromium ToolTip.Caption: Google's OSS Web Browser Icon: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/chromium.png Width: 32 Height: 32 X: 977 Y: 369 Command[0]: chromium end
Width and
Height should match the actual dimensions of the icon.
X and
Y will be modified by idesk to reflect the icon's actual position.
I've noticed that icons seem to show the contents of semi-transparent urxvt windows that are on other desktops... I'm not sure it this's the fault of idesk, urxvt, OpenBox, or xcompmgr. It's not that irritating, so I do not plan to look into it, but it is odd... --Solarshado 01:09, 3 November 2010 (EDT)

Tara Unger is hoping to bring more kindness and inspiration into the world -- or at least into her small part of Northern Westchester.
Two days after the riots in Charlottesville, VA in August, the Katonah mom felt she had to do something to both help make sense of the world -- and teach her kids they are responsible for how their future will look.
And so, she started painting inspirational messages on stones and leaving them around town.
"The hope was that someone having a hard day/time, walking with their head down, would spot one and smile.
"The idea was that the message on the stone would give them hope, and let them know that someone cares," she said.
Soon after she first began, the project spread to Bedford Hills and Mount Kisco with her eight and 13-year-old getting into the decorating.
"We brainstormed some places where the rocks would do the most good; the neighborhood hospital, train station, schools, and so on," said Unger.
The reaction has been wonderful -- Facebook and Instagram posts --and folks who told her they were inspired to do the same.
Among the messages: "Don't fear change;" "Someone understands," "You are beautiful," and "Teach love."
With the inventory she has, she's continuing the project into the fall.
"Unfortunately, the news and social media remind us daily of tragedies and sadness so I think there will often be a need to brighten someone's day," she said.
That meant stepping up her efforts for 9/ll and post Hurricane Irma.
Unger said she was really surprised by the insight and wisdom in the quotes her children came up with for their rocks.
"They absolutely pick up on the things that are occurring around them. I'm glad this gave them an outlet to express themselves in a positive way."

The reason being is that I have developed a marketing strategy that is going to help my friends who are smokers live longer: Package every pack of cigarettes with a sweet potato. Everyone who buys a pack of smokes gets a free sweet potato!
Why? Smoking (or inhaling second-hand smoke) depletes the body of vitamin A. Low levels of vitamin A are linked to emphysema of the lungs and several types of cancer, including that of the lung and heart. Sweet potatoes are high in beta carotene, which the liver converts to vitamin A. So if you breathe in a lot of smoke, your lungs will be in better shape if you can replenish your body with copious vitamin A. Read more if you don't believe me.
As if this
Are you ready for more?
The beta carotenes in sweet potatoes make these root vegetables a high souce of antioxidants, which boost the immune system.
Should I keep going?
A food containing anti-inflammatory nutrients, sweet potatoes are also very healthy for those with asthma and rheumatoid arthritis.
Wait! There's more!
It hasn't been proven yet, but there are studies being done that are exploring the effects of sweet potato on people with diabetes. It is hypothesized that sweet potatoes help stabilize blood sugar levels and lower insulin resistance.
Enabling my smoker friends (as well as smokers around the world) to live longer is Plan A for reaching sainthood status. If it doesn't work, fear not, I have a back-up plan:
I will write a catchy, rhyming song to promote the new packaged deal. The melody will ring through the ears of the nation, and everyone will want to sing along, and then the whole country will be singing the same song all at once and it will be so inspiring that all my smoker friends will want to live longer so that they can keep singing the song forever and ever, so then they will all quit smoking and proclaim me a saint. I also hope that they will all give me a percentage of what they would have spent on cigarettes for the rest of their lives, and then I will be a rich saint, because those are the best kind.
Coconut-Braised Short Ribs and Sweet Potatoes
(because beef is better for you than smoking)
~a Fancy Toast original recipe
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 lb. short ribs, bone-in
1 large onion, chopped coarsely
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons ginger, chopped or grated
1 stick lemongrass, cut lengthwise and smashed with the end of a knife
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 15 oz. cans coconut milk (you can use low-fat if you like)
1/2 cup orange juice
2 cups chicken broth
1 handful cilantro stems, bundled together in cheesecloth or in a teaball
3 sweet potatoes, cut into 1" cubes
1 handful of cilantro leaves
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 300 degrees Farenheit.
Pat the short ribs dry with a paper towel. Rub salt and pepper into all sides of the meat.
In a Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Brown the short ribs, taking care not to crowd the ribs or else they will not brown properly. Do in 2 batches if necessary.
Remove the ribs from the heat and set aside (the lid of the Dutch oven works perfectly for this…it's going to get dirty anyway, right?)
Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the onions and let soften for a few minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and pepper, and cook until the garlic is fragrant.
Place the short ribs and any accumulated juices back in the Dutch oven, nestling them in one layer, if possible. Add the coconut milk and the orange juice. Add the chicken broth, until the broth is just barely covering the meat. If you don't use all of the chicken broth, that's fine. If you need more liquid, add more chicken broth or water.
Place the cilantro stems into the broth.
Cover the Dutch oven and place in the oven. After ten minutes, check the liquid and make sure that it is not bubbling too aggressively. If it is at more than a gentle simmer, turn the heat down.
Cook for thirty minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and cook for about another hour, until the meat and the potatoes are tender.
Remove the cilantro stems from the broth, ladle into individual bowls, and garnish with cilantro leaves.

CONCORD, N.H. — A woman convicted of lying about her role in the 1994 Rwanda genocide to obtain U.S. citizenship could be sent back to her native country.
A federal judge stripped Rwanda native Beatrice Munyenyezi of her U.S. citizenship after a jury convicted her on Thursday of two counts of masking her role in the genocide to gain refugee status and ultimately citizenship.
Munyenyezi, 43, is back behind bars, where she spent 22 months between her indictment in 2010 and the jury deadlocking in her first trial last year. She was released to home confinement in Manchester the month after that mistrial.
She faces up to 10 years in prison when sentenced in June and could face deportation back to Rwanda, an impoverished African country, if her appeals fail.
Her lawyers say deportation to Rwanda amounts to a death sentence for her.
"She's going to get sent back to Rwanda now, and they'll kill her," defense attorney David Ruoff said after the verdict. "(U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) will send her back in a heartbeat."
Ruoff said he and attorney Mark Howard plan to appeal her conviction to the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals. He said he doubts that, even if she gets out of prison before the appeal is decided, she would be deported before the court rules.
Munyenyezi brought her three daughters to the United States in 1998 and focused on providing a life and home for them. She landed a $13-an-hour job at Manchester's Housing Authority, enrolled her children in Catholic school and was on her way to financing a comfortable American lifestyle through mortgages, loans and credit cards before filing for bankruptcy protection in 2008.
Jurors deliberated for less than five hours Thursday before convicting Munyenyezi on two counts of fraudulently obtaining her U.S. citizenship status.
The first count alleged she denied any role in the genocide or affiliation with any political party at the time. The second count alleged she was ineligible for citizenship because she entered the United States unlawfully by making the same false statements on her refugee and green card applications.
Federal prosecutors during the second trial changed their witnesses and strategy, focusing less on violent acts she was accused of committing and more on showing she lied when she denied affiliation in any political party.
Instead of relying on a handful of Rwandan prisoners serving life sentences for murders and rapes during the genocide, prosecutors brought in Butare residents who placed Munyenyezi at a roadblock where Tutsis were identified by the ethnicities listed on their Rwandan ID cards and ordered killed. Other witnesses testified they saw her in the garb worn by leaders of the extremist Hutu political party, the MRND.
Upon hearing the guilty verdicts, Munyenyezi put her head down on the defense table and wept loudly. Her 18-year-old daughter sobbed as she left the courtroom; her two other daughters were not in court.
The only comment made by Assistant U.S. Attorney John Capin outside court Thursday was: "She's guilty."
The same team of prosecutors in Munyenyezi's case secured a conviction against her sister last summer in Boston on charges of fraudulently obtaining a visa to enter the United States by lying about her own Hutu political party affiliations.
The sister also was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice related to her immigration court testimony. She was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison in Connecticut.
Munyenyezi's husband and his mother were convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda and sentenced to life in prison in June 2011 for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes of violence. They were deemed to be high-ranking members of the Hutu militia party that orchestrated savage attacks on members of the rival Tutsis. The mother was a cabinet minister in the Hutu-dominated Rwandan government when the genocide began in early April 1994.

I was considering this to be a big problem.
I am completely absorbed in the drama of the situation I find myself in. I think my wife and my son could die. I think my son will be completely paralyzed at the age of 15. My stomach is in knots, and I haven't been able to eat. I cant sleep without horrific thoughts entering into my head. I cant think about anything else. I cant go to work. I cant deal with people. I cant remove myself from this state of panic.
Imagine that you have been married for 17 years with a fifteen year old son. Imagine you are successful and happy with your life. Then imagine three months ago some of the best doctors in the country told you your wife has to have a large kidney tumor removed immediately. The reason the kidney tumor must be removed right away is so she can recover enough to be able to endure a second surgery where her entire pancreas will be removed. There are many large tumors in that organ as well. While grappling with the proposition of your wife undergoing two major surgeries, which would ultimately leave her living without a pancreas, which is possible to do, imagine that you encountered a much larger problem. If you can imagine your wife having a kidney tumor removed and then her entire pancreas removed to not be your biggest problem, than you probably can imagine having some big problems.
At the same time your wife is going through her own panic about what is happening to her, your teenage son is diagnosed with a brain tumor and a spinal tumor. Imagine his brain tumor being described as a "big one, and imagine his spinal tumor being described as the "biggest spinal tumor they had ever seen." Imagine the doctors telling you there is a high probability that your son will be totally paralyzed. Imagine receiving input from another specialist that your 15 year old boy, your baby, the love of your life, has tumors that are inoperable. If you can imagine these things, which many people cannot unless these kinds of things have happened to them, then you can imagine what its like to be me in September of 2010. These problems my family is experiencing are the realities of what is happening in my life.
These problems are real because they are actually occurring, but I also have another problem that is just as real. This other problem is with me and how I am dealing with the situation. The other problem is how I am reacting to the problems with my family. I am not being the strong confident man I need to be, I want to be. I am not being the man who handles these problems for my family. I am not being the man who figures a way out of this, and even if I can't figure a way out of this, I am not being the man my family needs me to be. I am being a weak, fragile, nervous wreck, and that is not helping anybody.
My son, Jesses, problems are more of an immediate priority. My wife, Cathy, at least has a prognosis where she can survive. I left work two weeks ago to have Jesse checked out by the doctors at the National Cancer Institute. Those doctors have given me their opinions and now I have standing in front of my house with the phone in my hand thinking about who to call next. I need someone to point me in the right direction. I need advice from someone more qualified than me. My friends dont know what to say to me. My friends want to help, but I can tell they are uncomfortable talking to me about it, I can feel that. I can tell that anyone who hears about this is thankful it is not happening to them. People shiver at the thought of receiving this kind of news. People dont even want to think that this kind of thing could ever touch their lives. I am sure my friends are hugging their own children and thanking God they are not me. My family gets upset when I call them because they love Jesse too. They want to do anything they can to help, but they dont know what to do either. I know my parents and my brother and sisters are feeling my pain, but not how I feel it.
This kind of pain is foreign to me. I thought I had suffered in the past. I thought I always had more difficulties in my life than most people. This is different. This pain wont let go of me, not for a minute. I lie awake at night trying to watch the TV, but I can only watch certain shows. Seinfeld is light and doesnt draw me into my troubles as much. I used to always watch the news and political channels. I see the Dow Jones plummeting, and I think who gives a ****. I listen to commentators talk about how to fix the country, and I cant believe people have so much passion and energy trying to defend their points. Dont they know how silly they are? Dont they know they should be happy that they are healthy and they should celebrate every moment that their family is not being attacked by tumors? I stare at the dark wall next to my bed in the middle of the night and just try to focus on the wall. I cant stop the thoughts from coming in. The thoughts are screaming at me. Your son is going to be paralyzed! You have to tell him that! I scream back at my thoughts. No! I will find someone that can fix him. You dont know who youre dealing with! **** you thoughts! Shut the **** up!
People are telling me everything will be OK. What the hell do they know? They werent there when I spoke to the doctors or they would be just as horrified as me. People are telling me they are praying for me. Im praying too. Please, please God, help Jesse. I know Im a Jew who hasnt gone to temple in over thirty years, but my wife goes to church every Sunday, and my son goes to a Catholic high school, thats got to count for something. Ive never hurt a soul in my entire life. I try to help everyone I know. You know Im a good man. Please help me God. Havent I suffered enough in this life? Ive walked through twenty years of surgeries with Cathy. Ive had a tougher childhood than anyone I know. Ive had to pick myself up and reinvent myself over and over again in this life. Am I supposed to undergo the most unbearable suffering imaginable? Is that who Im supposed to be, the man who has to endure anything?
Cathy and I are both teachers and the school year just started. I cant imagine going in to work right now and planning lessons, grading papers, and trying to act enthusiastic about teaching. I cant even fathom the idea of getting absorbed in all that while I am absorbed in all this. I am afraid I will lose my job if I dont go back soon. How long can I stay out of work without losing my job? I need the medical benefits. I cant lose my job. How can I go in though? How can I face anyone without crying? A few months ago, I was telling my friends at work about how Cathy might have to have her pancreas removed. They were all telling me how sorry they were. Now I am telling them about my sons crisis. It doesnt even sound believable. Who has these kinds of medical problems? I feel like I am double dipped in ****.
Im like a scared kid, and I need an adult to talk to, but there are no adults. People have always shared their opinions about what I should or shouldnt do, but not this time. I cant remember a time in my life when there wasnt at least one person willing to give advice to me. No one I know would dare make a declaration about what the right thing to do is here. The choice of who operates on Jesse is mine and Cathys. I have not met a doctor who feels confident about handling this thing yet. There must be some genius doctor in this world that can make me feel confident that I am giving Jesse his best possible shot at a positive outcome. We have spent twenty years reading the poker faces of doctors, and so far our decisions about who to use have been perfect, and I mean perfect. I can tell when doctors know what to do and when they dont. Cathy has had dozens of serious surgeries, and every single one of them has worked out flawlessly. She has retained almost perfect health over all these years, but even Cathy has never had a prognosis like this one given to Jesse. I cant help thinking that Cathy and I have been walking in between the raindrops for too long, and we are about to get really wet.

Take a look about this creative practical bar storage space furniture design idea in this sample pictures gallery. Isay Weinfeld, one of the most famous Brazilian architects of his generation is designing "Toto" a contemporary odd looking bar cart design. Toto is part of an original furniture collection by Etel, producer of precious Brazilian furnishings. It contains a lot of wooden boxes in cedar, freijo, ipe and tauari wood and it is created of freijo wood encased in mirror. These wooden boxes give enough space for organizing a perfect house bar. The modern bar cart design is ideal for those homes where the need to combine drinks moves around the home and outdoor areas. We can as hide as display things you like or not. Thanks to the leather "leach" the cart can be easily moved. So, do you want to buy this furniture?

Panik, New Lines Lift Crunch Past Bears, 5-2
After a tough overtime loss on Friday, Syracuse Crunch coach Rob Zettler decided to shake up his lines.
The newly formed trio of Richard Panik, Vlad Namestnikov and Dana Tyrell found instant chemistry. The trio combined for four points Saturday, and added nine points in a 5-2 win over the Hershey Bears in the AHL Showcase at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. Sunday.
Syracuse, which finished the weekend with five points in three games to break a recent slump, has won back-to-back games for the first time since mid-January. For Zettler, the effort has been there, but the team hasn't seen the rewards.
"Tonight I thought, from start to finish, it might have been our best hockey game," Zettler said. "The work ethic, the smarts, how to play it. It was just really good overall."
Panik, in his first weekend back with the Crunch since representing Slovakia in the Winter Olympics, led the way Sunday with a goal and three assists.
"Tonight especially, Richard Panik played huge," Zettler said. "He played physical, he made great plays with the puck, shot the puck. If he plays like that all the time, we're not going to see him down here very long. That's the way he needs to play."
"So far this season, I'm not happy about," Panik said. "I kind of refocused at the Olympics, and I enjoyed it a lot. It was fun to be there and be around the star guys."
Tyrell added a goal and two helpers, while Namestnikov chipped in a goal and an assist. The line consistently created chances by using its quickness.
"They back off the D with their speed," Zettler said. "I thought through the neutral zone they were really moving pucks well."
"We just try to use our speed and make simple plays," Namestnikov said. "That's been working the past few games."
Namestnikov opened the scoring in the final minute of the first period, but the Bears' Jeff Taffe tied the score less than two minutes into the second. Panik and Mike Angelidis then scored goals less than four minutes apart, but former Crunch forward Nicholas Deschamps brought the Bears back to within one before the second intermission.
Tyrell padded the Crunch lead midway through the third, and Jon DiSalvatore rounded out the scoring with a power play goal in the final four minutes.
PC Labrie, Charles Landry and Brett Connolly also registered assists for Syracuse.
For some of the Crunch players, the win comes in their first time playing in an NHL arena.
"It's great that some AHL games are played in NHL rinks," said Namestnikov, who made his NHL debut earlier this month. "It's a good experience and everyone enjoyed it."
The Crunch moved into 12th place in the Eastern Conference with the win. Capturing five out of six points this weekend is a good start, but they know time is running out to climb back into a playoff spot.
"There is more confidence in the dressing room," Panik said. "I know we lost lots of games in a row so it's frustrating, but now you can feel it in the dressing room. There's a better mood in the dressing room. I believe it's going to turn around."
Syracuse (20-23-4-5) hosts the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins Friday before a home-and-home set with the Adirondack Phantoms Saturday and Sunday.
"We can still make the playoffs," Panik said. "We need every point and we're going to do whatever it takes to get a playoff spot."

About Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive heart failure is one of the most prevalent conditions in clinical medicine. It occurs when your heart muscle can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs. The heart is too weak or stiff to pump or fill with blood efficiently. Congestive heart failure often develops after other conditions, such as coronary artery disease, blocked arteries or high blood pressure, have damaged or weakened your heart muscle. While congestive heart failure is a lifelong condition, the outlook is brighter than ever. By modifying your lifestyle, and receiving encouragement and support through the Cardiac Management Center, you can live a longer, more comfortable life.
About the Cardiac Management Center
Your physician referred you to the Cardiac Management Center to receive more comprehensive coordination of your care. It includes consultation by cardiac experts specialized in treating congestive heart failure.

Together, our goal is to plan the best course of managing the disease and help you get on to a happy, healthy life.

Thai police: suspected insurgents kill 3 officers
July 11, 2014
BANGKOK (AP) — Suspected insurgents in Thailand shot dead three police officers in an ambush in the country's south, police said Friday.
A group of attackers opened fire late Thursday on a pickup truck carrying three police officers in Yala province's Krong Penang district, said police Col. Pairot Meunklaharn.
A local Muslim leader who was standing in front of a mosque near the ambush scene was also wounded in the attack, Pairot said.
The victims included a deputy district police commander and other two officers, he said.
More than 5,000 people have been killed in Thailand's three Muslim-dominated southernmost provinces since an Islamic insurgency erupted in 2004.

8 Years Later: Another look at AIG and the idea that companies really are too big to fail.
This weekend I read the book Too Big To Fail by Andrew Ross Sorkin. I realized there are serious global difficulties with companies getting too large.
American International Group (AIG) sells insurance products around the world. They are diverse, and tied in with so many businesses and countries that they really are too big to fail. If this one company fails or falters, it takes down many other companies and possibly countries with it. AIG's reach is that far - the company is larger than many countries.
Because of the poor publicity around AIG needing an $85 million government loan to keep it afloat, it has changed its name in many places. But it is still expanding and profits have increased dramatically since the trouble they faced in 2008. So much so that the loan has been repaid with interest to the US Government. However, the tax breaks they received will never be repaid.
In the US monopolies are discouraged to allow greater competition between companies and service to consumers. I'm wondering if there needs to be a limit to how large a national or global company should be. When a company is so large they can disrupt the global economy - as AIG did - they influence the lives of too many people.
With great size comes greater global responsibility. The problem is, companies are not always responsible.
