Location and General Characteristics
The Near North neighborhood is located in the northwest portion of the City of Minneapolis and north of downtown, hence its name. It stretches from the Mississippi River on the east to Penn, Knox, James and Irving avenues on the west, and from West Broadway Avenue on the north to Olson Memorial Highway and 11 th Avenue North on the south.
Sumner Community Library has been a significant architectural and cultural landmark since it first opened to the public Dec. 16, 1915. A Carnegie library, the Tudor Revival-style building has historic designation nationally and locally – on the National Register of Historic Places and with the Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission. The library was named after Charles Sumner, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts and an outspoken abolitionist.

Newry is a City in County Down, in Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland is divided into six counties and the City of Newry is split between two of these, County Armagh and County Down. The City itself is situated in a valley from where the peaks of the Mourne, Cooley and south Armagh mountains can been seen.
The city has existed as a settlement for well over 850 years. When John De Courcy came to Ireland in the twelfth century he established significant bases at Newry,Carlingford, Carrickfergus and Coleraine all of which developed into towns and monasteries.
Newry is a major population centre almost equal distance between Belfast and Dublin, The Border partitioning the Country visibly is almost none existent, however economically it's a different story. As a result of the crash of the Celtic tiger in the south, it's more cost effective for Southern Shoppers to shop in the North leading to bad traffic congestion in Newry.
Newry is also a major transport hub, with convenient connections to the rest of the country.
Get in
Newry lies on the Belfast - Dublin main train line. It is connected to both these cities, and many cities in Northern Ireland, by Ulsterbus coach.
Get around
Newry is a relatively small city, and can easily be explored on foot. Taxis are widely available and charge a minimum fee of £3.50 within the city. Local buses run from 7am and 6pm, out of town services to Bessbrook, Camlough & Warrenpoint will run until 10pm for some services.
After Belfast, Newry is arguably Northern Ireland's second finest location for shopping. The town boasts two shopping centres (The Quays and The Buttercrane) as well as a modest out-of-town shopping complex. The Quays also has a 9 screen cinema, showing the latest blockbuster movies. Newry has a 25 metre swimming pool and a sports complex, both of which have seen better days. There are also facilities for playing soccer, bowls and tennis. Newry also has a number of public parks and is surrounded by beautiful towns, the majestic Mourne Mountains and spectacular countryside.and has loads of carry out spots
Finding lunch should not prove a problem, as there are many good sandwich shops located on Hill Street and in The Quays Shopping Centre (people who live in Ireland will know to avoid O'Brien's in the Buttercrane).
Finding somewhere to eat in the evenings can be a challenge. Excellent restaurants (such as the original Soho Place and Tickle) seem to have an abnormally short life-span, thankfully Copper Restaurant has moved from Warrenpoint to Monaghan Street and is THE place for food offering a locally sourced menu and a good vegetarian/vegan menu. Many places offer inexpensive and unremarkable fare, the most prominent being the Canal Court Hotel's bar snacks menu (best described as standard chain-pub food). There are a wide range of Chinese restaurants/takeaways and pizzerias, but remarkably few Indian restaurants. The number of pubs offering food has grown significantly in recent years.
Just one quick word of warning - food-wise, Newry is hardly a vegetarian's paradise. You have been warned.
Francis Street
Monaghan Street
For a city, Newry has a surprisingly small number of hotels. For those looking at the lower end of the scale, the Mourne Country Hotel often suffices, although the quality of services offered are continually degrading. More popular, not only with class and location, is the city's newest hotel - the Canal Court Hotel. This hotel offers a wide range of facilities, both for guests and conferences, and is currently encompassing a massive upgrade. Bed and Breakfasts are also in abundance throughout the city and its surrounding rural areas at decent rates.

Defending IMF Financial Terrorism
By Stephen Lendman
On March 29, New York Times editors headlined "Strengthening the IMF." What demands abolition, they support. It doesn't surprise.
Longstanding Times policy supports wealth, power and privilege. Populist interests are spurned. Unmet human needs are ignored. Managed news misinformation is featured. Wrong over right is endorsed. It's been so from inception.
Times editors admit IMF policies aren't widely loved. It "forced countries in financial distress to adopt counterproductive austerity policies, and it failed to anticipate the financial crisis."
No matter. It "helped stabilize the global economy, most recently by providing loans to troubled European countries like Greece and Ireland."
It's "the world's primary defense against global financial disasters."
"Increasing the funds resources will ensure that it can respond quickly to another wave of turmoil in Europe or elsewhere that would inevitably hurt the American economy."
It's hard imagining more twisted thinking. Times editors endorse doubling the fund's capital. Doing so assures twice as much damage. IMF policies reflect financial terrorism. Abolish the fund now and end it.
It's hugely exploitive. It's the loan shark of last resort. It makes neighborhood ones look saintly by comparison. It doesn't solve problems. It exacerbates existing ones. It creates new ones. It debt entraps nations. Bondage suffocates them.
Public wealth shifts to private hands. Western bankers and other corporate favorites profit hugely. Ordinary people suffer.
Indebted nations are obligated to take new loans. They're needed them to service old ones. Doing so increases indebtedness. Structural adjustment harshness follows. It's force-fed. Debtor nations have no choice. IMF diktats demand:
privatizing state enterprises;
selling them at a fraction of their real worth;
mass layoffs;
deep social spending cuts;
wage freezes or cuts;
unrestricted free market access for Western corporations;
corporate-friendly tax cuts;
tax increases for working households;
trade unionism crushed or marginalized; and
harsh repression against non-believers.
Democratic values don't matter. Human needs go begging. Countries forfeit their material wealth and resources. Freedom's lost. A race to the bottom follows.
Workers become serfs. Economies are financialized into debt bondage. Doing so transforms them into dystopian backwaters.
IMF shock therapy takes no prisoners. Debt service overrides national sovereignty. Poverty, unemployment and deprivation follow. Numerous examples explain.
Chileans under Pinochet suffered. Inflation skyrocketed. Unemployment exceeded 20%. About 45% of Chileans became impoverished. Output fell 12.9%. Cheap imports flooded the country. Social safety net protections ended.
Trade unionist crackdowns became policy. Local businesses closed. Severe repression targeted non-believers. Democracy under Allende died. Wealth shifted up to the top. Much of Chile's middle class disappeared.
Out-of-control corruption and cronyism replaced it. For privileged insiders, Chilean society was paradise. Most others suffered Great Depression deprivation.
Chile's model spread cross border. Through the early 1990s, Latin American debt rose exponentially. In 1980, it was $110 billion. In 1992, it reached $473 billion. Interest payment grew from $6.4 billion to $18.3 billion. That's how debt entrapment works.
Worker livelihoods, health and welfare suffer. Those likely enough to have jobs endure low-income to sub-poverty wages. Foreign predators profit enormously. They do so on human misery.
IMF diktats facilitate it. Pain replaces prosperity. Nations are strip-mined for profit. Millions of jobs are lost. Western brands replace local ones.
IMF policy statements don't explain. They perpetuate the myth about helping as a lender of last resort. Loans come with strings. Force-fed austerity follows.
Debt service matters most. Banker bottom line priorities override national sovereignty. Worker gains disappear. Ordinary people suffer hugely.
Human welfare and economies are sacrificed on the alter of paying bankers first. That's how predatory IMF diktats work. Don't expect New York Times editors to explain.
According to Paul Craig Roberts, IMF loans don't help world economies. They shield "private banks from their own mistakes at the expense of the world economy."
IMF policy mandates stabilizing exchange rates linked to the dollar and bridging temporary payment imbalances. Article I of its Articles of Agreement says it lends:
"to give confidence to members by making the general resources of the Fund temporarily available to them under adequate safeguards, thus providing them with opportunity to correct maladjustments in their balance of payments without resorting to measures destructive of national or international prosperity."
It claims it provides loans to reduce poverty and increase economic development. "In difficult economic times," it says, it "helps countries to protect the most vulnerable in a crisis."
It never operated as mandated. Its policies are polar opposite. They're ruthlessly exploitive. They've been that way from inception.
During the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Pat Buchanan urged "No more Bailouts - Abolish the IMF."
Asia's crisis was "man-made, the work of corrupt and incompetent political elites, crony capitalists and idiot-investors who deserted their own countries to chase hot profits in Asia."
IMF bailouts "put Western taxpayers on the hook for $100 billion."
"The Global Economy is like a high-stakes poker game, where the big players pocket their winnings, while the "house" - i.e., the taxpayers - makes good their losses at the end of a bad night."
"(A)bolish the IMF."
Conservative economist Steve Hanke agrees. IMF "policies don't generate prosperity or alleviate poverty," he says.
"The only cure for the IMFs ills is to pull the plug on that international bureaucracy."
Global Exchange co-founder Kevin Danaher urges abolishing the IMF and World Bank. His book "10 Reasons to Abolish the IMF & World Bank" explains why.
It covers "globalization for dummies." It exposes common myths. It urges ending decades of predatory injustice. It gives 10 reasons why.
(1) Mandates were violated. Promises made were broken. The "rising tide that (lifts) all boats" never happened. Free-market diktats "demonstrably and significantly increased inequality."
(2) GDP inaccurately measures economic wellbeing. People matter more. Their needs are ignored. IMF/WB diktats mandate it.
(3) Free-trade isn't fair. Unelected technocrats run things. Government officials are pressured, bullied and bribed to go along. They do so for benefits they derive.
(4) Unelected IMF/WB/WTO policy makers are interlinked. Conflicts of interest corrupt them. Monied interests control them. Checks and balances are absent. Public scrutiny's avoided.
(5) Force-fed austerity causes enormous harm. No "success stories" exist.
(6) Real ones "achieved relatively high economic growth through extensive state involvement ."
Measures include "land reform, tight control of trade, state enterprises, government-funded research and infrastructure, high tariff barriers to protect infant industries from foreign competition, and favoring certain sectors of the economy through subsidies and state-directed investment."
(7) Predatory capitalism's environmentally destructive. Ecological sustainability becomes impossible.
(8) Wealthy nations lose out. America "suffered the decimation of our manufacturing sector, declining average wages, growing inequality, an increase in the average work week, a ballooning deficit in the US balance of trade, and a growing mountain of debt (government debt, consumer debt, corporate debt)."
(9) Predatory capitalism's "ethically bankrupt." Profits alone matter. Human needs go begging.
(10) Popular resistance shows promise. Global justice supporters demand change. Responsible alternatives exist. It's high time mass activism demanded them.
It's way past time predatory international lending agencies were abolished. Saving humanity depends on it.

Here are the latest short answers to questions posted on our Web site. In our discussion, we will cover topics from Secs. 210-52(c)(5), 250-30(a)(3), 250-104(a)(4), 300-22(c)(2), 384-16(a), and 450-13(b); and Art. 600, of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Q. What is the largest kVA rated dry-type transformer you can install in the space over a hung ceiling used for environmental air-handling purposes?
A. Sec. 450-13(b) permits you to install transformers over a hung ceiling, provided they do not exceed 50kVA, 600V nominal. A commentary on page 523 in the 1999 "NEC Handbook," published by NFPA, states Sec. 300-22(c)(2) permits dry-type transformers in the air space.
Q. Can I install a GFCI receptacle in the backsplash area behind the sink in the kitchen?
A. Yes, however, Sec. 210-52(c)(5) indicates you can place the receptacle not more than 18 in. above the countertop. It also explains you cannot install receptacle outlets in a face-up position in the work surfaces or countertops.
Note: The fact that the receptacle was a GFCI receptacle had no bearing on the answer.
Q. How many exit signs can you install on a branch circuit, and does Art. 600 apply to exit signs?
A. Art. 600 does not apply to exit signs. You can determine the number of exit signs on a circuit as follows:
Number of fixtures = circuit rating x 80%1/ampere rating of fixture
(1 The maximum load on a branch circuit is limited to 80% of the rating of the circuit; see Sec. 384-16(a).)
Example: The number of exit fixtures containing two 25W lamps on a 20A circuit would be?
(a) 11 (b) 23 (c) 31 (d) 38
Answer: (d) 38 Number of fixtures = (20A x 80%)/0.42A* = 38 fixtures
(*Two lamps x 25W = 50W/120V = 0.42A)
Q. I'm installing a 480/120, 208V, 3-phase transformer on the roof of a standard five-story office building with no building steel. Someone told me to ground the transformer to the local water piping system on the roof. Don't I have to ground the transformer within 5 ft from where the water pipe enters the building?
A. In accordance with Sec. 250-30(a)(3), the grounding electrode for a separately derived system (transformer) needs to be as near as practicable to the neutral-to-ground bond for the transformer. The grounding electrode shall be an effectively grounded structural metal member of the structure (which you don't have) or an effectively grounded metal water pipe within 5 ft from the point of entrance into the building (which is on the first floor). If an effectively grounded structural steel member or water pipe isn't available, then you must use the service equipment-grounding electrode.
Note: Sec. 250-104(a)(4) also requires you to bond the grounded (neutral) conductor of the separately derived system to the nearest available point of the interior metal water piping system in the area served by the separately derived system. This means you must bond the neutral at the location where the neutral-to-ground bond is for the transformer to the metal water pipe up on the roof.

Researchers trying to determine if getting dumped causes measurable, physical pain-and it apparently does show up on fMRI-needed a proxy experience for romantic relationships in their tests. (It wouldn't be polite to throw people who just got dumped in fMRI machines, I guess, but I still would like to see those results.)
Instead researchers "attempted to elicit feelings of rejection in test subjects by telling them they had been excluded from a computer game". I guess that means getting kicked off a server because you aren't very good at multiplayer is in the same class of emotional pain as a breakup. Go ahead and cry after your kickban. Science says it's okay!

After Marikana
The key point to grasp about the Marikana shootings (we're not allowed to call them a massacre because that makes them sound like the bad old days of Sharpeville) is that the National Union of Mineworkers, South Africa's biggest union, is in apparently terminal decline and has been losing control of one pit after another to its new rival, the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union, which has no political affiliations. The NUM is the spinal chord of the ANC alliance. Its leaders are always Communist Party members, it has provided the last three secretaries-general of the ANC in succession, and it is the dominant presence in the labour federation, COSATU. The decline of the NUM threatens the whole structure of ANC power.
This is why the police – who are effectively an arm of the ANC – drew a line in the sand at Marikana. Three thousand workers had been camping out in protest for six days and the NUM leader could only address them from the safety of a police armoured car; the AMCU leaders were cheered by the strikers. The police announced on Thursday morning that come hell or high water they were going to end the protest that day and they arrived prepared for war in steel helmets and bullet-proof vests, armed with semi-automatic weapons. The AMCU leader, Joseph Mathunjwa, had talked to the police and knew what was going to happen. 'The writing is on the wall, they are going to kill you,' he told the strikers, pleading with them to leave. They wouldn't listen.
Immediately after the shootings there was a typical ANC black-out. For 24 hours no information was released and no one was allowed anywhere near the hospitals or hostels where the wounded and surviving strikers were, while the ANC decided on its line. 'Today is not an occasion for blame, finger-pointing or recrimination,' President Zuma said on Friday. 'Today challenges us to restore calm and to share the pain of the affected families and communities.' This is an awkward straddle because there are really only two alternatives. If you condemn the police then you are effectively saying that they and the ANC behind them are a lot of murderers. On the other hand, if you support the police action you are effectively saying that some of your countrymen deserved to be shot. The commission of inquiry now being set up will doubtless find a way to avoid expressing either view, however. It is also more than probable that the entire labour force at the mine will be sacked and a new NUM-disciplined workforce recruited in its place.
But that won't save the ANC. In exile, the ANC could surmount any crisis merely by iron discipline. In 1968 they supported the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, the line was enforced and that was that. But those days are gone and such tactics will not contain the shockwaves from the massacre at Marikana. Ultimately, it is bad news for Zuma, as it will strengthen the views of those in the ANC who feel he is a hopelessly incompetent blunderer – but he may still have the votes to prevail.
The decay of the ANC alliance is now far advanced and irreversible. South Africa is anyway a very difficult country to govern, and as the ANC gradually falls apart the process is likely to be a violent one, like an old volcano blowing itself to bits.

End covers
Remove the end cover from its package.
ECW end covers have an optional drainage hole (fig. 1). Open it if required.
- Identify the housing recess for the end cover and make sure it is clean and free of any debris.
Hold the end cover at an angle against the housing and insert the cover edge into the housing recess.
When mounting ECW end covers (fig. 1) on composite housings for SKF Food Line, make sure the two wider tabs cover the fitting slots and the narrower tabs with protrusion engage the housing recess.
- Push the end cover towards the housing until the edge snaps into the housing recess. Where needed, help the cover edge into position by bending it slightly as required.
- Make sure the end cover is securely in place. If needed, remove it and start the process again from step 3.
- Insert a screwdriver or a pointed tool into the space between the housing and the dismounting protrusion located in the end cover side.
- Unlock the end cover by levering it until a first part of the end cover edge comes out from the housing recess. Hold the end cover to make sure that it does not fall down, and complete the unlocking process by hand.
Rotating parts hazard. To avoid serious injury, do not mount or dismount end cover unless shaft has stopped rotating and the machine has been locked out or the shaft has been secured so it can't rotate.

I'd much rather see them out out a new CW character in the Black Series and do it right the first time, instead of delivering a sub-par version of a character that will never offered as a figure ever again.
Well, it's been fun guys (and gals....well, mostly guys). It seems that the Clone Wars toy line is dead, and the cartoon along with it. My days of trolling the boards will most likely come to a close. My son will likely be too old to think toys are cool when Ep.7 comes out, and with only a handful of episodes left we will just have to find other ways to enjoy our time together before he becomes a young man that no longer needs his dad. This is a sad moment for me. The Clone Wars gave me a second chance to power-walk to the toy section and cross my fingers that a new and exciting Star Wars figure would be dangling from the pegs. But more importantly, it gave me an excuse to lock myself away on one side of the house with my boy and just have a great time creating battles and adventures. He still asks me to play "Clone Wars" every Saturday morning. Will that last another year, or two? Now that new episodes are gone, I don't know. But I am going to get the most out of it that I can. It has been great interacting with so many Clone Wars fans, and I will miss the fun. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and stories over the years. New adventures of the Clone Wars will be seen on a live performance basis only for the immediate future at our household, and I guess that is all I could ever ask for.Thank you Jedidefender. It has been great.-TheSon

Courtesy of Babson College Sports Information
BABSON PARK, Mass. – John Golden scored the game's only goal on a first-half penalty kick to lift the Wentworth Institute of Technology Leopards to a 1-0 victory over the MIT Engineers on day two of the 2010 Babson Fall Classic at Hartwell-Rogers Field on Sunday.
With the win, Wentworth evened its record at 1-1-0, while MIT fell to 1-2-0 on the season.
The Leopards netted the decisive goal at 16:21, as an MIT foul in the box gave Wentworth a penalty kick. Golden placed the ensuing shot to the left of diving keeper Dylan Rankin, giving the Leopards a 1-0 lead.
MIT had two prime chances to tie the contest in the second half, but Wentworth managed to stifle both bids. The first came when Christian Therkelsen fired a shot past charging keeper Brian Pearsall in the 76th minute, but a Leopard defender blocked the attempt and cleared it off the goal line. The Engineers then threatened again in the 86th minute, when Matt Monheit chipped a ball to Therkelsen at the left post. However, Pearsall saved the senior's one-time bid from point-blank range to preserve the shutout win.
Pearsall finished with six saves in net for Wentworth, while Rankin made three stops in just over 85 minutes of action for MIT.

A motorist had the shock of his life when a bolt of lightning struck a lorry as it was driving towards him.
The man, driving home near Wroclaw, western Poland, was filming torrential rain flooding the city when lightning struck.
The huge bolt slams into the top of the lorry - which is then momentarily engulfed in flames.
Polish road safety expert Jozef Wieczorek said: "Instances where vehicles are hit by lightning are extremely rare simply because they are sitting on rubber tyres, and that means they don't earth the electricity through the vehicle.
"When it does happen, all that usually takes place is that the electricity goes round the vehicle, and that seems to be the case here.
"If you look at the video you can see that the lightning seems to go round the lorry before it hits the central reservation and the central crash barrier, leaving a red hot glowing spot that quickly vanishes behind the car.
"It seems as if the lightning was destined for the crash barrier which is metal and the truck was simply in the way.
"The reason there was no report of an accident is because the truck was probably not damaged although it would have made a deafening bang inside the cab."
According to police, there were no reported injuries or accidents on the A8 motorway where the lightning strike happened.

zh-CN:Ruby Ruby is a dynamic, interpreted, open source programming language with a focus on simplicity and productivity.
Installing Ruby
The version of Ruby you need to install depends on your requirements. If you are supporting a legacy application, install Ruby 1.9 or 1.8 as necessary. If you are starting a new project, Ruby 2.0 is recommended. Below is a summary of the available versions and how to get them.
Ruby 2.0
To install Ruby 2.0, install ruby. Ruby 2.0 includes RubyGems.
Ruby 1.9
To install Ruby 1.9, install ruby1.9AUR from the AUR. Ruby 1.9 includes RubyGems.
Ruby 1.8
To install Ruby 1.8, install ruby1.8AUR from the AUR. Ruby 1.8 does not include RubyGems. Instead, it is available through the rubygems1.8AUR package.
Multiple versions
If you want to run multiple versions on the same system (e.g. 2.0.0-p0 and 1.9.3-p392), the easiest way is to use RVM or rbenv.
To make documentation available through the included
ri command-line tool, install ruby-docs.
You can then query the docs with:
ri Array,
ri Array.pop etc. (much like man-pages)
RubyGems is a package manager for Ruby modules (called gems), somewhat comparable to what pacman is to Arch Linux. It is included in the ruby package.
Before you use RubyGems, you need to add
$(ruby -rubygems -e "puts Gem.user_dir")/bin to your
$PATH. You can do this by adding the following line to
PATH="$(ruby -rubygems -e 'puts Gem.user_dir')/bin:$PATH"
To see what gems are installed:
$ gem list
To get information about a gem:
$ gem spec gem_name
By default,
gem list and
gem spec use the
--local option, which forces gem to search only the local system. This can be overridden with the
--remote flag. Thus, to search for the mysql gem:
$ gem list --remote mysql
To install a gem:
$ gem install mysql
The process can be sped up somewhat if you do not need local documentation:
$ gem install mysql --no-rdoc --no-ri
To update all installed gems:
$ gem update
Installing gems per-user or system-wide
By default in Arch Linux, when running
gem, gems are installed per-user (into
~/.gem/ruby/), instead of system-wide (into
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/). This is considered the best way to manage gems on Arch, because otherwise they might interfere with gems installed by Pacman.
Gems can be installed system wide by running the
gem command as root, appended with the
--no-user-install flag. This flag can be set as default by replacing
--user-install by
--no-user-install in
/etc/gemrc (system-wide) or
~/.gemrc (per-user, overrides system-wide).
Bundler solves these problems to some extent by packaging gems into your application. See the section below on using bundler.
Bundler allows you to specify which gems your application depends upon, and optionally which version those gems should be. Once this specification is in place, Bundler installs all required gems (including the full gem dependency tree) and logs the results for later inspection. By default, Bundler installs gems into a shared location, but they can also be installed directly into your application. When your application is run, Bundler provides the correct version of each gem, even if multiple versions of each gem have been installed. This requires a little bit of work: applications should be called with
bundle exec, and two lines of boilerplate code must be placed in your application's main executable.
To install Bundler:
$ gem install bundler
By default, Bundler installs gems system-wide, which is contrary to the behaviour of gem itself on Arch. To correct this, add the following to your
export GEM_HOME=~/.gem/ruby/2.0.0
To start a new bundle:
$ bundle init
Then edit
Gemfile in the current directory (created by bundle init) and list your required gems:
gem "rails", "3.2.9" gem "mysql"
Run the following to install gems into
$ bundle install
Alternatively, run the following to install gems to
.bundle in the working directory:
$ bundle install --path .bundle
Don't forget to edit your main executable:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby # "This will automatically discover your Gemfile, and make all of the gems in # your Gemfile available to Ruby." http://gembundler.com/v1.3/rationale.html require 'rubygems' require 'bundler/setup' ...
Finally, run your program:
bundle exec main_executable_name.rb
Managing RubyGems using pacman
Instead of managing gems with
gem, you can use
pacman, or some AUR helper. Ruby packages follow the naming convention ruby-[gemname]. This option provides the following advantages:
- Gems are updated along with the rest of your system. As a result, you never need to run
gem update:
# pacman -Syusuffices.
- Installed gems are available system-wide, instead of being available only to the user who installed them.
If a gem is not available in the repositories, you can use gem2arch-rubyAUR or pacgemAUR to automatically create a package, which can then be installed by pacman.

A different IDS Software.
Dear AO. This tutorial will be my 400th post making me a senior (w00t w00t) here on AO. So i thought what better way to do this than with a tutorial. This tutorial will be based on the IDS AIDE and ARGUS. The reason why i chose these 2 IDS is because there are so many posts on SNORT and on Tripwire. By no means do i intend to say that AIDE and ARGUS are better or worse than SNORT or Tripwire, its just that AIDE and ARGUS are not that bad either. As usual, please forgive any typos or bad English. This tutorial was written and tested on SuSE 8.1 Professional Linux, but it should work on most *nix systems.
1 - AIDE - (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment)
AIDE is a program from the category Host Based Intrusion Detection, where you can guard the integrity of your data and system. AIDE is a modern free alternative to tripwire (since tripwire has gone commercial).
AIDE creates a database with data which guards your data on a *nix computer. This is done and maintained from the administrator inside /etc/aide.conf . Inside this configuration file, several attributes can be set such as user permissions, inode numbers, users, user groups, file size, mtime, ctime, atime, growing size and the amount of links which are linked to any chosen file. In addition, AIDE creates an encrypted checksum for every file using one or more algorithms such as sha1, md5, rmd160,and even tiger (crc32, hava1 and gost which can be compiled if mhash is supported).
Normally the AIDE database is configured after a new installation of a system before that system even goes online, or is connected to any form of network. This first AIDE database will create an instant image (i hope this word is correctly translated) of the systems default setup and is the backbone for any changes made from there onwards. This database should register the state of all executables, libraries, and header-files which will not be changed when the system is running. Files which will change constantly such as logfiles, mailboxes, files from the proc-file system, files inside /home or any temp files/folders should be ignored from this database. Normally it is quite easy to manipulate files in front of the system administrators eyes without them noticing, whereas system programs such as ls, ps, netstat, and who can be replaced by manipulated applications such as trojans. An encrypted checksum which is encrypted with the md5 algorithm is therefor much much harder to manipulate. The amount of work is too vast to go through that kind of trouble.
If you run AIDE on a compromised system, the administrator on that system can then very quickly and easily find the data which has been manipulated. If the created AIDE database is kept on a read only medium, then you can say that once AIDE reports any kind of manipulation it is 100% correct. A good way to keep the database would be to burn in onto a cd.
Configuring AIDE.
The configuration file is /etc/aide.conf (also do a man 5 aide.conf). The configuration file is line based. There are 4 types of lines (lines as in sentences) which are as follows.
1 - Configuration lines are used, to record configuration parameters, variables-definitions/variables solutions.
2 - Defined selected lines which are recorded in the AIDE database and which are not to be recorded.
3 - Macro-lines which are to be defined or deleted variables.
4 - Lines which begin with the #-character which will be ignored, normally used for comments.
# /etc/aide.conf
#This is where you define where the reference database is located.
#This is where you define where the actual database is to be created.
#This is where you define how informative AIDE will be.
#Reports should be written to 'stdout'.
#This is a list of all possible checksums.
#These are the pre-defined standard rules.
#p: permissions
#i: inode
#n: number of links
#u: user
#g: group
#s: size
#b: block count
#m: mtime
#a: atime
#c: ctime
#S: check for growing size
#md5: md5 checksum
#sha1: sha1 checksum
#rmd160: rmd160 checksum
#tiger: tiger checksum
#R: p+i+n+u+g+S+m+c+md5
#L: p+i+n+u+g
#E: empty group
#>: Growing log file p+u+g+i+n+S
#You can also define your own rules.
# Now let us have a look at which files/folders are to be ignored.
#All the rest will be monitored.
In this example, we have done the following.
We have defined where the reference database is located.
We have defined where the actual database is to be created.
We have defined how much information AIDE gives us (verbose)
We have defined where the reports are to be written to.
We have defined each rule. Also custom rules.
We have defined that AIDE will ignore /tmp, /proc, /usr/src/, var/log, /var/adm/utmp$. /home and all the rest should be ignored since they tend to change as the system is running.
Unfortunately there is no default guide for this, decisions of what to guard and what not will vary from case to case depending on how your system is setup (caldera is a good example, since many known default paths are different on there). When configuring AIDE, great caution is required.
Also very important is that some rules which should guard certain files end with a $ character. (such as our example /var/adm/utmp$), so that the rules matches the exact file we specify.
If we left out the $ sign here, that would mean that all files beginning with utmp are affected. Our example would then have the following weakness:
/var/adm/utmp_root_kit would be ignored, since the utmp is on our ignore list. So in our case, only the actual utmp file we have is ignored thanks to the $ sign.
One also very important file to guard is where your firewall rules are setup (such as the iptables rules, since intruders who like to plant back doors might alter the firewall rules to allow access).
Using AIDE.
Once you have freshly installed your system to your likings, and before you connect to any form of network you can run AIDE by typing in:
aide init
Once this is done, it is wise to burn them on a cd or on any non-writable medium, especially if the system is a firewall system or a system within the DMZ (De Militarized Zone). Once it is on a secured medium, it can be used to compare your set database with the actual system you intend to guard.
Also secure on a medium /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new.
To compare your system to your IDS just run the following command:
aide check
Also the results which you get should be stored on a secure medium.
You can automate this procedure with the help of cronjobs. Where by AIDE is launched from a cd (your secure medium). The reports could then notify you by mail to the administrator. If you have a DMZ, then its good to mail from that box into your LAN.
Argus is a generic tool used to guard IP networks.
With broadcast mediums, such as Ethernet, token rings, or apple talk you can program the network interfaces to guard all packets in transit (promiscuous mode). Argus runs as a daemon in the background, listens to all interfaces which are defined to be in promiscuous mode and creates then a log file. It is (thanks to the possibility that Argus belongs to the categories of network activities) which makes this tool so powerful. (Please also have a look at /usr/share/doc/packages/argus/README for more detail.)
Argus is available for SunOS, Solaris, Ultrix, IRIX, AIX and Linux.
Argus belongs to the category Net based Intrusion Detection. If you have a DMZ which is protected by an Application Level Gateway and the hosts within the DMZ run through proxies which are set to guard up to the IP-Level, then there is no need for a switch with port-security and flood protection within the DMZ. This is where argus can be placed to guard the network traffic within the DMZ. Especially if within the DMZ you have hosts which cannot be secured with detail such as windows nt-servers. It is then a good idea to use a tool like Argus to guard that traffic.
Configuring Argus.
In Linux, the file to start argus is located inside /etc/rc.config.
That will make sure argus is started at every system boot.
That will define on which interface argus runs on.
This will define where the log file for argus is.
Because this log file can become very large, it is wise to restart argus once a day (you can automate this) so that on every restart, the old log file is compressed and kept elsewhere so that a new log file can be started. Let me show you a little script that can do that for you every day.
# /root/bin/argus_restart
/etc/rc.d/argus stop
mv /var/log/argus.log /var/log/argus.'date + "%y%m%d"'.log
/etc/rc.d/argus start
Name this file argus_restart, and place it inside /root/bin. Then make sure that only root can use this.
Linux:~ #chown root.root /root/bin/argus_restart
Linux:~ #chmod 500 /root/bin/argus_restart
After this, you can add to your cronjobs the following, let us say we want to run our little script every day at 12.30 PM.
0 30 * * * root test -x /root/bin/argus_restart && /root/bin/argus_restart
For the analysis which argus produces for us, we can use the 2 tools "ra" (man ra) and "services" (man services).
I hope that these 2 tools might actually be helpful for anyone who wishes to use an alternative solution to snort or tripwire.
Cheers everyone.

General Motors has become a great example of the business benefits for recycling. The company announced that last year, they recycled 92% of all waste generated in their manufacturing plants around the world. This has created a lucrative side business of scrap dealing which has helped keep them afloat during the recession.
Sustainable Business writes that according to latest estimates, the company makes about $1 billion a year just from selling scrap. Since they started in 2007, they have solidified their commitment towards waste management.
GM's commitement to waste reduction is pretty impressive. Over half of its 76 plants produce zero waste and they reuse or recycle 97% of their byproducts. They aim to add 10 additional waste-free facilities this year and boost their waste-to-energy outputs. Cardboard is a big part of their waste stream and one of their suppliers came up with a patented technology that shears and separates cardboard boxes attached to wood pallets.
This system allows the company to manage each material with the smallest environmental impact and largest financial gains. The technology not only enabled the company to become landfill-free, it also helps it to earn $20,000 a month from cardboard recycling alone. Another plant in Michigan uses cornstarch-based packaging foam from Landaal Packaging Systems that blocks and braces products like sheet metal.
The Chevrolet Volt is GM's flagship efficient vehicle and many of its parts comes from recycling waste generated from the BP Oil Spill. Last year GM announced that it plans to use 227 miles of oil-soaked booms from the spill cleanup to make parts for the Volt. By doing so, they saved 100,000 tonnes of plastic that would have otherwise been landfilled or burned. According to Earth911, "this material was used to create parts to deflect air around the vehicle's radiations which allows the battery and on-board gasoline generator to run efficiently in extreme weather conditions." This material was mixed with recycled tires and other reused plastics and polymers.
Apart from the Volt, GM uses an extensive lifecycle design for all its vehicles. They evaluate materials, manufacturing processes, energy consumption as well as end of life options. They also incorporate several recycled and bio-based components into their cars and trucks. Some of these include old bumpers, bottles, blue jeans, carpets and tires.
Earlier this year, GM announced that it aims to double the number of solar panels in its facilities by the end of 2015. GM Ventures, its venture capital arm has invested $7.5 million commercial solar developer Sunlogics to do that. If GM's report is anything to go by, other companies should start taking recycling and waste management opportunities rather seriously as well.

What would you do if you won Friday's $400 million Mega Millions jackpot?
Like almost anyone else, you would probably visit a real estate agent to purchase that new home and then call a travel agent to book a luxurious vacation. You might also decide to pay a visit to a dealership to buy a fancy car.
While each of these suddenly affordable opportunities would tempt a newly minted megamillionaire, none would be the best initial course of action.
(Read more: Mega Millions hits $400M)
Just look at the history of lottery winners. Many ended up in debt—or worse, went broke because they mismanaged their newfound riches.
Easy money can do that to people. It makes them blind to what steps to take to ensure that those funds last a lifetime—and, for their loved ones' sake, beyond. Rather than being prudent, many of the suddenly super-rich feel obligated to make that big purchase or, for some reason, agree to provide financial support for a third cousin of their step-brother-in-law.
But, instead of visiting that car dealer or travel agent, the first thing anyone lucky enough to win a lottery jackpot should do is to find a trusted, qualified financial planner.

After 33 years of creating, improving and implementing textile and textile-based finishes and finishing processes that have increased consumer satisfaction and demand for cotton apparel and home fabrics, Cotton Incorporated's Don Bailey wants to coach a little football and spend time with his family.
Most recent position
Most recently serving as vice-president of product development and implementation for the research and marketing company representing U.S. Upland cotton, Bailey has literally worked in every area of textile research at Cotton Incorporated during his career.
He also served as the coordinator for applied research in the Textile Extension Department at his alma alter, North Carolina State University, for two years.
Major influence
"Don has not only been an excellent manager, but his insight and knowledge of textiles and textile processes has been a major influence and one of the key reasons for many of the successes stemming from this important division of Cotton Incorporated," commented Cotton Incorporated's President and CEO J. Berrye Worsham.
"We are grateful for his dedicated service to the organization and wish Don all the best in his retirement."
During his tenure, Bailey has been a key leader in the fruition of many textile performance finishing innovations such as Wicking Windows, Storm Denim, Endure, Tough Cotton and others. His research also led to improved shrinkage control in cotton apparel — a long-standing consumer complaint about cotton's washing performance.
Garment dip process
Additionally, he was an active member in the development of the garment dip process for finishing applications on textiles and a founder of Cotton Incorporated's Fabricast fabric library system, which helps the organization showcase cotton's innovative abilities to retailers and brands worldwide.
More recently, Bailey's work led him to develop educational materials for the Cotton Board's Importer Support Program — in which he was a co-recipient with MindWorks MultiMedia of a Silver "Telly" award for his contributions in writing "The Art of Sweater Manufacturing" interactive learning CD.
Among his many other accomplishments, Bailey received the 1999-2000 Outstanding Extension Service Award for his service as an Adjunct Extension Professor at North Carolina State University, the ASQ Textile and Needle Trade Division's 2000 Paper of the Year Award for his "Engineered Garment Manufacturing" paper and Cotton Incorporated's 1988 True Performance Award. He is also the author for many technical papers published throughout his career.
"I've had a very fulfilling career with Cotton Incorporated," says Bailey, "and I have great respect for the Cotton Research & Promotion Program and what it does on behalf of cotton producers and importers — all while providing consumers with highly innovative cotton products."
The Cotton Research & Promotion Program is administered by the Cotton Board and conducted by Cotton Incorporated. Its mission is to increase the demand for and profitability of cotton. For more information, visit www.cottonboard.org and www.cottoninc.com.

Acts of kindness shown during snow storm
Boonville could have been described as a 'ghost town' Friday morning after almost a foot of snow fell in the area throughout the day Thursday. Tom White, Director of the Cooper County Emergency Management Center, reported 92 incidents in a 24 hour period.
After 7 a.m. Thursday morning the snow started to arrive in the area. White said many of incidents that occurred were people who had slid off the roadway.
"I have to commend people yesterday who were helping out individuals in need along the roads," White said.
White also said because interstate was closed west of Boonville and in Columbia, traffic flow was lower. He also said since the EMC had five days to prepare it was better than it could have been.
"Preparedness is the key," White said.
White also wished to commend Neighbors Helping Neighbors for their efforts in helping people during the storm.
"It was a heavy snow," he said.
Within the city, crews finally got main roads clear by late afternoon once the main part of the storm had ended.
Lt. Randall Ayers of the Boonville Police Department said the department responded to a couple fender benders around town. He said most of the problems responded included slide offs.
"The storm came so quick that it caught people off guard," Ayers said.
He said since some weather reports were forecasting four to six inches, no one was thinking this would be a huge storm.
Out within the county, Eastern Cooper County Commissioner Paul Davis said things are progressing fine.
"Our crews were out until 11 p.m. last night and got out again at 6 a.m. Friday morning," Davis said.
Davis said the county recently purchased two all wheel drive graders, which he said have made a huge difference.
"The plan is to a least get one lane cleared on all county roads first and then go back and clear the other," Davis said.
He also said the good news was drifting has not been a huge concern like it was during the blizzard of 2011.
Weather.com reports temperatures to stay below freezing until Saturday. White is watching a new storm system, which could impact the area with more snow this Monday.

Design a Website Mockup infographic
I would like to recreate this infographic for one single web page to submit to a developer. I want to be able to have each section ultimately be able to link to another page with more detail (for example, the symptoms section should be able to link to a new page that only discusses symptoms).
I don't have any of the images, so each one of the little characters and mini images will have to be recreated (not just copy and pasted). The final output will be a mockup of the website page as well as each individual graphic file.
This is what I want recreated:

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Clergy from across the state are expected to rally in Lansing and call on Gov. Rick Snyder to veto legislation that could allow concealed weapons in schools and churches.
Members of Michigan Prophetic Voices and the Metro Coalition of Congregations say they will hold a prayer vigil Tuesday afternoon outside Snyder's office.
Snyder pledged Monday to take a close look at the legislation. He told The Associated Press that his public safety concerns have been heightened following Friday's mass shooting that left 26 people -- including 20 children -- dead at a Connecticut elementary school.
Michigan's gun bill would allow someone with extra training to carry a concealed weapon in a gun-free zone. However, schools, churches and other entities could declare themselves off-limits to openly carried guns under trespass laws.

Erdogan does what western propaganda accuses Putin of doing, yet western governments utter only pro forma protests. Can you believe they are planning to let these people into the European Union?
They've successfully built up the people smuggling business as an extortion instrument to use against Europe and our leaders are too weak to respond with anything but capitulation.

Last week the playoffs proceeded right in line with the seedings in the Lou Cappiella Summer Basketball League, as number two Mount St. Joseph Academy won its Monday night semifinal, and then fell to undefeated top seed Neumann Goretti High School in the championship game on Thursday.
In the semi's the Magic eased past third-seeded Norristown High, 39-20, but three nights later the Saints were just too much for the Mount to handle, and they turned a 28-12 halftime advantage into a 43-26 victory.
Mount St. Joe was the two-time defending champion in the league, going undefeated both in 2011 and 2012.
Back in the final regular-season game of the 2013 campaign, the Mount had to go into overtime in order to defeat Norristown High School. When the two teams met again in last Monday's semifinals it was a different story, as the Magic bolted to an early double-digit lead and Norristown never recovered. The Mount led 20-7 at the half and cruised in from there.
A baseline jumper by sophomore Sarah Wills opened the scoring for the evening, then three straight field goals by junior Emily Carpenter were followed by a three-pointer from the left wing by sophomore Libby Tacka. A successful drive down the lane by junior Mary Kate Ulasewicz gave the Mounties a 13-0 advantage before Norristown senior Briana Hedgepeth hit a lay-up to put the Eagles on the board with under eight minutes remaining in the first half.
With two minutes left, Norristown was back within eight points of the leaders at 15-7, but Mount St. Joe put together a 9-0 run that bridged the first and second periods. During this stretch sophomore Caitlin Morrissey contributed a free throw, and the other eight points were all down to Ulasewicz, who hit a three-pointer, a baseline shot, a lay-up, and a free throw.
With Tacka bagging two more three-point field goals, the Magic had little trouble maintaining a comfortable lead the rest of the way.
She finished with nine points, while Carpenter and Ulasewicz each totaled 10. Wills wound up with six points, and fellow sophomore Kristen Lucas had three points for the night. Hedgepeth had a game-high 15 for the Eagles.
In the other semifinal, Neumann Goretti routed fourth-seeded Radnor High School, 53-16, and the Saints advanced to Thursday's championship game looking to record their third win of the season over MSJ.
In one of the regular-season meetings, Neumann Goretti had overcome the Magic even when the locals had all three of their returning starters at the game. That wasn't the case for last week's final, when the only one of the three who turned out was Tacka.
She would lead the Magic with 10 points on the night, but Mount St. Joe was never really in this game once the Saints scored the first seven points and proceeded to a 19-4 lead in a little over six minutes. Two Tacka free throws got the Magic on the board three minutes into the action and the sophomore hit a lay-up soon after that, but the Mounties didn't score another field goal until just over two minutes remained in the opening period.
Big, strong, and fast, Neumann Goretti led 28-12 at the half and then opened the second stanza with an 11-2 surge. The rest of the way the Magic picked things up a bit on the offensive end and did a better job of resisting the Saints' defensive pressure. Still, Neumann Goretti was up 43-18 before the Mount chalked up the final eight points of the game.
Tacka's output was supplemented with four points apiece from Carpenter, Lucas, and senior Gen Hagedorn, and two apiece from Morrissey and senior Jenny Geatens.
Leading the champions with 18 points was 5'9" junior guard Sianni Martin, whose effort was backed up by seven points apiece from seniors Ella Awobajo and Tanesha Sutton, and six from Alicia Kebbe.
During this rainy summer, the majority of the league contests were played in the small gymnasium at Roxborough's Kendrick Rec Center, instead of on an outdoor court, as intended. League commissioner Brian Morris, former coach for both Springside School and Chestnut Hill College, announced to the crowd at the championship game that two entirely new outdoor courts are to be built at Kendrick, and should be ready for use next summer.

When Robbie Keane leads the Republic of Ireland on the field in their upcoming friendlies against Lativa and Poland, he'll have a new managerial crew to play for.
Martin O'Neill was appointed Ireland manager earlier this month and quickly named former Manchester United legend Roy Keane as his number two. The pair will be entrusted to lead Ireland as they look to reach Euro 2016 in France on the heels of failing to advance from a fiercely competitive World Cup qualifying group, which led to the exit of former manager Giovanni Trapattoni.
The LA Galaxy captain, who is expected to take an offseason break to repair a nagging Achilles injury after the friendlies, admitted that he was quite excited about the appointment of O'Neill and the former Ireland captain.
"It's two men who have the respect of the footballing world," said Keane earlier this month. "It's an appointment that everyone should be excited about, certainly, one that I'm excited about because they are two big strong characters that we've probably needed for some time."
Keane and Ireland take on Latvia on Friday in Dublin before traveling to face Poland in Pozan on Nov. 19.

KnowledgeBase 00102: Simplifying Process Type Tests in LOGIN
The Problem
The LOGIN paragraph, and perhaps other places, frequently needs to test the process type of the QM session. For example, a LOGIN paragraph may normally start the application but this would not be wanted in a session that was a QM phantom.
The simplest way to terminate the LOGIN paragraph for a phantom process is to include a line
IF @TTY = 'phantom' THEN STOPbefore actions that are not required for this process. This can get very messy when several process types are to be included,
The IF IN Command
The IF IN command tests whether an item appears in a list of alternatives
IF @TTY IN 'phantom', 'startup', 'vbsrvr' THEN STOPThere is a corresponding IF NOT.IN to test whether an item is not in a list of alternatives.
Use of @-variables in Commands
The above examples show use of @TTY in the IF command. This is the only QM command in which @-variables are automatically expanded. All other commands treat the @-variable name as literal text.
A more generalised way to use @-variables that works in all commands is to use the inline prompt expansion. The example of using IF IN becomes
IF <<@TTY>> IN 'phantom', 'startup', 'vbsrvr' THEN STOP

Beaten-down shares of J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP) surged more than 20% Thursday morning as the department store's holiday earnings and upbeat outlook fueled hopes the worst is over.
Continue Reading Below
A number of analysts issued bullish reports on J.C. Penney, citing the company's ability to slash expenses by 17%, grow same-store sales and expand margins despite an overall difficult retail environment.
Wall Street was also pleased by J.C. Penney's year-end target for liquidity in excess of $2 billion and full-year guidance for "significant" gross margin expansion.
Declaring J.C. Penney a "credible American comeback story," Citigroup (NYSE:C) analyst Oliver Chen raised his price target on the stock to $7.50 from $6.50 and kept a "neutral" rating.
"We're most encouraged on clear decisions to increase depth and have discipline on narrowness of portfolio with private brands and we believe this should support comp guidance," Chen wrote in a note to clients. He also said fears about J.C. Penney's liquidity "while mathematically fascinating could be overdone."
Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) analyst Paul Lejuez upgraded the department store to "market perform" and raised his price target on the stock to $6-$7 from $4-$5, according to StreetAccount. The analyst believes investor fears of an imminent capital raise or a change in corporate structure seem to be off the table in the short term.
"The next six months are probably the most critical in JCP's history," Sterne Agee analyst John Parke wrote in a note to clients. He pointed to whether or not the company's same-store sales can rebound to the 3% to 5% levels guided by management and if it can avoid liquidity concerns.
"Conversely, if (same-store sales) stay soft and inventory levels build, JCP will be in a precarious position heading into the back half. We'll continue to monitor in-store trends for signs that'll point us in either direction… until then, we'll stay uninvolved," said Parke, who kept a "neutral" rating on the stock, but raised his 2014 and 2015 EPS targets.
Shares of J.C. Penney initially rallied single digits following the earnings beat, but buying picked up steam during the company's conference calls. The Plano, Texas-based company saw its shares soar 21.31% to $7.23 Thursday morning.
Still, J.C. Penney's shares remain at depressed levels, down 20% on the year and about 66% over the past 12 months.
Reporting after Wednesday's closing bell, J.C. Penney logged a non-GAAP loss of 68 cents per share, compared with the Street's view of 85 cents. Sales dipped 2.6% to $3.78 billion, narrowly missing estimates, but same-store sales increased 2% and gross margins expanded to 28.4% from 23.8%.
"With the most challenging and expensive parts of the turnaround behind us, we will focus on improving gross margin, managing expense and steadily growing our sales in 2014," J.C. Penney CEO Myron Ullman III said in a statement.
In another positive that may have contributed to positive investor sentiment, J.C. Penney said the Securities and Exchange Commission agreed to terminate a probe into the company's liquidity, cash position and debt and equity financing.

If you have to come to this website and ask for help in arguing a point, maybe the Dean's List just isn't for you (or your friend in this case).
PEW PEW PEW never fails to make me larf.
He was 25/162. From the academic policy manual.III-C-6. Graduation Honors, Deans List, and Class Rankings...B. Deans ListThe Deans List will be the top 15 percent in each class for each semester. The Deans List will be compiled and students will be informed of their distinction. Students will also be invited to contact the Associate Dean for Student Affairs if they do not wish to have their names included on the public version of the Deans List. After students are given a reasonable opportunity to request that their names be withheld from publication, the Deans List will be published.I stole this argument from the "should I drop out" thread, but based on the lack of precision in the policy handbook, one could argue that top 15.4% rounds to the top 15% based on some common understanding of mathyness.And the argument could be frosted by that canon of construction (from contracts) that says something about ambiguity erring on the side of the non-drafter. Isn't there some clever sounding latin for this? I know the dean, and he will treat this handbook like a contract.If anyone could hammer this out in a few sentances for the email to the dean, that'd be really helpful. Having trouble articulating it.
