CDC advises all pregnant women to get whooping cough vaccine
All pregnant women should receive a Tdap vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Wednesday. The combined vaccine protects against whooping cough (pertussis), tetanus and diphtheria.
The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices says the vaccine is safe for pregnant women, and disease-fighting antibodies can transfer to the unborn baby to provide protection against whooping cough early in life.
- Whooping cough vaccine found to wane in effectiveness after age 6
- Whooping cough vaccines should be given to all adults, gov't panel says
- Whooping cough outbreak: How to keep kids safe
That's important, officials say, given whooping cough's prevalence this year. In April a whooping cough epidemic was declared in Washington State, and to date there have been 4,387 cases reported. More than 3,800 cases have also been reported in Minnesota, nearly 5,000 have been reported in Wisconsin, and Colorado has seen nearly 1,100 cases of pertussis.
In total 32,000 whooping cough cases have occurred this year including 16 deaths, on track to be the most infected with the disease in one year since 1959.}
The committee voted 14 to zero with one abstention to make the recommendation. The only other vaccine the panel recommends for pregnant women is for influenza.
Whooping cough is a highly contagious disease caused by bacteria that causes uncontrollable, violent coughing. Because it can be difficult to breathe, those with the disease make a "whooping" sound when they inhale, leading to the illness' commonly known name. Infants are especially affected by the disease and need to be monitored in case they stop breathing.
In February, it voted that all U.S. adults should get at least one dose of Tdap vaccine -- including those 65 and older - to prevent teens and adults from spreading the disease to infants, what's referred to as "herd immunity."
The CDC has more on vaccines for pregnant women.

The view out my window yesterday gave every appearance of a cold November day. Bare trees rose towards a slate grey sky, branches wiggling stiffly in the wind as brown leaves swirled on the sidewalk. It was quite possible to imagine a snowstorm was on the way... until I stepped outside.
Senior reporter John Flowers makes a weekly Tuesday radio appearance on Morning News Service, a program on Waterbury-based WDEV, 96.1 FM. He wraps up recent Addison County news for listeners across Vermont.
Addison County has experienced some unusual November weather over the last week - in the form of clear, sunny, warm conditions. To someone who enjoys watching the weather, the weather has in fact seemed a bit boring. Boring or not, the weather conditions have been wonderful for spending time outside, so I've spent the last few days enjoying the outdoors in Vermont, instead of watching the weather.
Note: this blog is called "Addison County Outside" or "The Great Outdoors." This week's blog entry is not truly "outside". It's not really "inside" either. Addison County Underground sounds like a nightclub, so I'm settling on "Underside."
Saturday I did something that I have never done. Caving.
"Caving?" you might say, "Don't you mean 'spelunking'"?
Today's paper included a Clippings column headlined "Fed action would leave citizens in the dark," prompted by a recent Department of Justice proposal to permit federal agencies to deny a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act by lying about the existence of records.
After widespread opposition from public interest groups and nationwide media scrutiny, the DOJ on Thursday (that's today) rescinded its proposal.
Last weekend, a devastating and record-breaking blizzard slammed much of southern New England with incredible amounts of October snow. Yet the weather in Addison County was significantly less wild - instead of feet of snow, our first snow of the winter consisted of a dusting to a couple of inches on Saturday night.

via press release:
New Series Premieres Saturday, January 1, at 8 p.m. ET/PT
New York, N.Y. [For Immediate Release–December 13, 2010] For more than seven years, designer Candice Olson has inspired millions of HGTV viewers with her dazzling room designs on the popular series Divine Design. Now, in her new HGTV series Candice Tells All, she goes a step further–to reveal precisely how she creates her signature designs. During the series, which premieres on Saturday, January 1, at 8 p.m. ET/PT, Candice takes viewers through the ins-and-outs of her awe-inspiring makeovers, explaining her creative process from the first inspirational ideas to the final design installation. Candice also shares tips on design trends, answers questions about her personal design preferences and showcases her best designs in a makeover photo gallery on HGTV.com.
In Candice Tells All, the audience follows Candice as she travels the city to see design principles at work in other mediums and art forms. She invites viewers along as she gathers insider information from design industry professionals and artists who are doing extraordinary work beyond the world of interior design. At each stage of the process, Candice offers insight on the fundamental design principles that are at play, how this knowledge can be applied to any space and how to create a beautiful and functional room.
"People always ask me, 'What's the secret to beautiful design?'" said Candice. "For me, its unexpected inspiration mixed with classic design principles."
In the premiere episode, Candice meets homeowners Trevor and Nicole. The couple, who has two young children, says that their family room and dining area lack style and storage space. Understanding that beauty also must withstand everyday life, Candice finds inspiration in a free-form art piece that evolved into a favorite playground for kids. She implements this idea into her design by covering sleek sofas with waterproof outdoor fabric, adding a vintage steel locker for toy storage and a sturdy wood dining table that won't show dents and scratches from everyday use.
"In this series, Candice delivers breathtaking transformations and shares the steps she takes to create the look," said Kathleen Finch, general manager, HGTV. "By making her trade secrets accessible, Candice encourages our audience to seek inspiration everywhere."
Future episodes of Candice Tells All include how to design with monochromatic colors, how to create perfect lighting and how to mix vintage and contemporary designs into one seamless space.

By Mike Lehman, TTU Sports Information
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – After a marathon 54-game stretch, the regular season has finally come to a close for the Tennessee Tech baseball team (39-15, 24-6), marking the end of an impressive era for the 2013 senior class at Bush Stadium at the Averitt Express Baseball Complex.
Tech fell to the Belmont Bruins (37-18, 22-8), 13-10, on a day dedicated to honoring both the current and past greats of the Tennessee Tech baseball program.
The seniors were honored in a ceremony prior to the game Saturday afternoon, each receiving a special gift and standing ovation for their hard work and dedication as athletes over the past four years. Several alums of the Golden Eagle program were in attendance at the game, receiving special recognition following the sixth inning.
The Golden Eagles began the game just as they had all series, getting to the best pitching staff early behind a monster, signature inning. After Belmont started the game off with two runs in the top of the first, Tech answered in a big way.
The OVC champs quickly got on the board, using an RBI single by Zach Stephens to cut the lead in half. They then loaded the bases, brining third baseman Daniel Miles to the plate with a chance to hit his third grand slam in as many days. Belmont managed to set down Miles without any damage, but missed the chance to avoid getting out of the inning.
Shortstop Dylan Bosheers (photo above right) came to the plate next, crushing a grand slam over the fence in left center field. The long ball marked a program-record third straight game with a grand slam and gave Tech a 5-2 lead after one.
Stephens hit his own home run in the bottom of the second inning, giving him an OVC-leading 15 on the year and providing Tech with a 7-3 lead after two.
The Bruins surged back over the next four innings, tying the game at 8-8 in the top of the sixth off of clutch two-strike hitting.
The Golden Eagles grabbed a two-run lead in the bottom of the seventh off a two-run single by senior Michael Morris. Belmont had different plans for the day, however, rallying once more to tie things at 10-10 in the eighth and taking the lead for good with three runs in the top of the ninth inning.
Stephens led the Golden Eagle offense on the day, going 3-for-5 with three RBI and three runs scored. Bosheers led Tech with four RBI on a 2-for-4 day at the plate while scoring two runs. Morris also finished the game with three RBI on 2-of-4 hitting.
Tech finished the OVC season 24-6 to claim the regular season championship. The 24 Conference wins were the most in OVC history. Including a pair of divisional championships in 1970 and 1988, it is the eighth OVC title for the Golden Eagles. The team has also won the outright title in 1949, 1955, 1956, 1997 and 2010.
The team's 39 overall victories on the season are tied for the most in program history. The team enters the postseason having won 18 of its last 24 games. Tech will be the No. 1 seed for the OVC Tournament and open play on Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. CDT after receiving a first round bye. Overall it is the 15th tournament appearance for the program and first since 2011.
Fans can watch the entire 2013 OVC Baseball Tournament live on the OVC Digital Network. There is no charge to watch the event and the games are available on any computer, tablet or smart phone.
Tickets for the event will be $10 per day or $28 for an all-session pass (up to 11 total games). There is also a $8 a day rate (or $25 for an all-tournament pass) for students/faculty of OVC-member schools (with valid ID) or for groups. All seats at the 6,000-seat park are general admission for the OVC Championship.
Fans can purchase tickets in person at the Jackson Generals box office or by calling (731) 988-5299 or going online here: https://www.ticketreturn.com/prod2/team.asp?sponsorid=4577.

Friday night the Lady Bisons will play Jacksonville at 5. Sunday afternoon at noon they face North Florida in the final A-Sun regular season game of the season. In order to keep their hopes alive they have to either tie or win Friday night before starting to think about Sunday.
The Lady Bisons are 4-10-2 tying their season record for wins. They are also 2-5-1 in the conference, also tying their best season record for wins. Both records were set last season.
"We have talked about what it would mean to win more games and to win enough to make the tournament," said Lady Bisons coach Jon Ireland. "This team has worked very hard this season.
"We still have a shot at the tournament because there are several teams with the same points total. But if we don't tie or win Friday night what we do Sunday won't mean as much."
Team season records already broken are assists in a season and points in season. The Lady Bisons have made eights assists, edging the old record of seven set in both 2004 and 2007. They have 34 points, easily eclipsing the old mark of 26 set in 2006.
Three Lady Bisons, junior midfielder/forward Brandi Besheres and sophomore forwards Kate Spellman and Halie Proffitt, have four goals this season with four games left overall to play. The team season record for goals scored is five, set in 2005 by Melissa Chambers.
Spellman has already broken the team record for points in a season with 13. The previous record for points is 12 set by Chambers in 2005. Besheres has 10 points, tying her with Amanda Cost who had 10 points in 2002.
"Kate has probably been the biggest surprise for us," said Ireland. "Last year Kate struggled a lot. She got pushed around a lot. She had trouble beating defenders.
"This year she is a completely different player for some reason. She has been so consistent every game. She has learned how to change speeds with the ball and how to get behind defenses. She has caused a lot of havoc. Opposing teams are taking note of her on their scouting reports.
Proffitt demonstrated her ability to score goals as a freshman. Ireland thinks Proffitt's upside is huge from an offensive standpoint.
"I knew Halie had the potential and the tools," said Ireland. "She has the potential to score in double digits."
Besheres has only attempted 12 shots this season with only six shots on goal. But she has made her shots count.
"Brandi has scored some big goals," said Ireland. "She is probably our strongest player in the air. Last year and this year she has scored goals off of headers. That has been big for us. She is definitely a threat on corner kicks or set pieces because of her ability to jump."
Several other individual records could fall this season. Proffitt has 17 shots on goal, two short of the season record of 19 held by both Chambers and Cost.
Spellman has five assists, one short of the team season record of six set by Sara Green in 2006.

Downloading Video Files
Here are a few questions I've received recently from people like you, and my answers. I have edited and restated the questions a bit, for readability.
Is it possible to download a YouTube or similar file to my computer?
Yes. One program that does this is TubeSock. It works on Mac and Windows, and creates a file you can keep for offline viewing on your computer. It creates the necessary formats for use on your iPhone or iPod, your Sony PSP or Palm Treo. The program works not only with videos on YouTube, but with those on some other sites. It's available at stinkbot.com/Tubesock/, for $15. But while the makers of TubeSock believe their product is legal, as long as videos aren't used for commercial distribution, Google (which owns YouTube) may not agree. A quick scan of YouTube's terms of service reveals that the company sees most of its videos as intended solely for online streaming.
I have this thumb drive which I used to copy of the info from my old computer. I want to transfer all these files to my new computer. I want to transfer my 2007 Microsoft Outlook contacts and emails, and the My Documents folder. When I insert the drive into my new computer everything pops up, but how do I get it to transfer to the hard disk?
Your computer sees the portable drive just as it would an internal drive or folder, so you would just drag the folder or file icons from the portable drive into the folders of your choice on the hard disk. It's just like copying folders and files from different places on your internal hard disk. Then, you can remove the portable drive, and the files and folders will be on your new computer. For the Outlook files, there's one extra step, if you want them to actually appear in Outlook. You will have to use Outlook's import function, found on the File menu, to incorporate them into Outlook's own Mail and Contacts section.
Does the My Book World Edition networked hard disk you reviewed last week work with Apple's built-in Time Machine backup software?
No. Western Digital, which makes the My Book, said it doesn't, and, in my tests, Time Machine didn't recognize the My Book as a possible backup drive. That's one reason the company supplies its own backup software for the Mac, as well as for Windows. It's likely that there is, or will be, some technical workaround, but, out of the box, this drive doesn't work with Time Machine.

World Forum for Democracy
By Council of Europe
"Re-wiring Democracy: connecting institutions and citizens in the digital age"
Social networks, blogs, and online media offer citizens access to public life in an unprecedentedly direct way. Is the internet revolutionising democratic practice? This topical question will be raised this year during the World Forum for Democracy, organised by the Council of Europe with the support of the French government, the Alsace Region and the City of Strasbourg
Over the past few years, internet has become a stimulating space for democratic innovation. Every day, participatory websites are created by parliaments, governments and local authorities, allowing citizens to contribute directly to decision-making processes, to debate political options in real-time, and thus to influence the decisions made by their representatives. Is this an answer to the so-called 'crisis of politics' which manifests itself through citizens' disaffection from political parties and representative institutions?" Read more >

Fedora has developed Live CD USB DVD images for their GNU/Linux operating system. Since the image file systems are stored in the /LiveOS folder of the image, this is the name we'll use to reference the product.
This page shares some critical information about the LiveOS design that helps users take better advantage of their more-limited-than-usual disc resources.
- livecd-iso-to-disk (Usage instructions are on the first pages.)
- FedoraLiveCD
- How to create and use a Live CD
- How to create and use Live USB
When a Live CD or Live DVD (a LiveOS image on read-only disc media) is booted, temporary storage is prepared for the system in RAM on each boot by /sbin/dmsquash-live-root in initrd0, the initial ram disk filesystem. An in-memory, copy-on-write, system overlay is used (see File Systems below). The boot script prepares up to 0.5 GiB of RAM space in a sparse file by default.
Operating system file systems
Live Operating System, LiveOS, file systems are found within disk image .img files.
If one mounts a Fedora-Live-Desktop.iso file or Live CD, the resulting block device file system will list 3 folders:
/EFI /isolinux /LiveOS |- livecd-iso-to-disk |- osmin.img |- squashfs.img
The LiveOS folder contains 3 files:
- livecd-iso-to-disk is a Bash script used for loading (installing) the LiveOS image onto a USB or SD disk.
- osmin.img is a minimized OS image which is used to aid traditional installation from a LiveOS image source to a hard disk.
- squashfs.img is a SquashFS compressed read-only file system with the Fedora operating system root file system inside another LiveOS folder containing an ext3fs.img file.
Mounting the squashfs.img file and listing its block device file system will show this hierarchy:
/LiveOS |- ext3fs.img (This may be named rootfs.img and contains an ext2, ext3, or ext4 file system type.)
Mounting the ext3fs.img file will finally reveal the Fedora operating system root file system.
Here is a summary of the whole structure:
Fedora-Live-Desktop.iso !(mount) /EFI /isolinux /LiveOS |- livecd-iso-to-disk |- osmin.img |- squashfs.img !(mount) /LiveOS |- ext3fs.img !(mount) /bin -> usr/bin /boot /dev /etc /home /lib -> usr/lib /lost+found /media /mnt /opt /proc /root /run /sbin -> usr/sbin /srv /sys /tmp /usr /var
When the LiveOS image is loaded onto a USB or SD disk, the isolinux folder is copied into a syslinux folder.
If persistence is requested with the --overlay-size-mb NNN option, a Device-mapper overlay file for the root file system is created in LiveOS.
If a separate home file system is requested with the --home-size-mb NNN option, an ext4 formatted home.img file system is created.
The structure is then as follows:
Fedora-Live-Desktop USB/SD device !(mounted on /run/initramfs/live) (Before Fedora 17 the mount point is /mnt/live in the root file system.) /syslinux /LiveOS |- home.img !(mounted on /home) (This occurs during boot up by the /etc/rc.d/init.d/livesys script.) /liveuser /Desktop /Documents /Downloads ... /lost+found |- livecd-iso-to-disk |- overlay-NAME-XXXX-XXXX (Where NAME is the device partition name and XXXX are hex numerals.) |- osmin.img |- squashfs.img !(mount) (At boot up by the /usr/sbin/dmsquash-live-root.sh script in the initramfs.) /LiveOS |- ext3fs.img !(mounted on '/') (This occurs during boot up by the dmsquash-live-root.sh script.) /bin -> usr/bin /boot /dev /etc /home (If there is a home.img, then this is its mount point directory.)
If the --skipcompress option is used during loading with livecd-iso-to-disk, the squashfs.img compression layer will be skipped. The structure is then as follows:
Fedora-Live-Desktop USB/SD device !(mounted on /run/initramfs/live) /syslinux /LiveOS |- home.img !(mounted on /home) /liveuser /... |- livecd-iso-to-disk |- overlay-NAME-XXXX-XXXX |- osmin.img |- ext3fs.img !(mounted on '/') /bin -> usr/bin /boot /dev /etc /home ...
Persistent storage
The Fedora LiveOS system allows for persistent storage in 3 locations:
- An all-purpose, persistent overlay-based file space that saves all updates and changes to the root LiveOS filesystem. But, this storage space is limited by its allocate-once, fixed-sized design, and must be used with caution (see File Systems below).
- Persistent home folder - a re-writable, re-sizable (with difficulty), uncompressed, optionally-encryptable, file space for anything that goes in the user's /home/ folder. A persistent home folder is an option that may be selected at the time of installation of the LiveOS image (although with some effort, one could manually create a home.img filesystem in /LiveOS/ and move the /home/ folder to it). This installation option is only available through the script, 'livecd-iso-to-disk'. The Windows and Fedora 'Live USB Creator' installers do not provide this option at present.
- Host device file space - this is the USB stick or SD card file system that is outside of the LiveOS file tree, but which is accessible through the /run/initramfs/live or /mnt/live (before Fedora 17) mount point of a booted LiveOS installation. There, one finds the boot configuration files and anything else one had on the device before loading the LiveOS image. One may save files here without consuming the other, limited file spaces. (This file space is limited only by the device capacity).
/run/initramfs/live /LiveOS |- home.img |- livecd-iso-to-disk |- overlay-NAME-XXXX-XXXX |- osmin.img |- squashfs.img /syslinux
The all-purpose, persistent overlay is needed for operating system changes and updates.
The file systems are prepared on each boot by the /etc/rc.d/init.d/livesys script.
Home filesystem
One may find many advantages to installing the LiveOS, with a persistent, home folder (using the --home-size-mb NN --delete-home options), which will hold all the user files and documents one wishes and, perhaps later, throw away—all without consuming the write-once overlay, which can be consumed very quickly (and overlay file space is not normally reusable).
Device filesystem
Additionally, keeping some storage space on the device disc outside of the LiveOS system will let you copy, carry, and delete large resource files, such as image.iso files, or anything you might want to use or share.
Installation options
Fedora 17 Live Desktop may be installed on a 1 GB USB device using the following options with livecd-iso-to-disk (on a single, terminal or console command line, even though the wiki may wrap the following text to accommodate your browser window size):
- ./livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 200 --home-size-mb 140 --delete-home --unencrypted-home /path/to/source/iso/or/device /dev/sd?1
- where '?' in the final parameter represents the target bootable device node, such as sdb1 or sdc1, etc.
The above configuration would allow space for the home folder, the operating system, and a little on the device root.
But with a larger capacity device, one may allocate the resources to suit the anticipated use, as described above.
File Systems
The Fedora LiveOS uses the Device-mapper service of the Linux kernel to manage the file stores on the device. This is the same service that is used by Logical Volume Manager to provide disc partition services.
One critical limitation, mentioned above, is that the LiveOS persistent overlay is a allocate-once file space. This is related to its use of device mapper snapshots to combine a read-only file system image (copied from the compressed SquashFS.img on the read-only LiveCD or installation .iso file) with a Copy-on-write service that tracks only changed blocks of data in the snapshot (overlay) file and then re-referencing file pointers to the updated blocks.[1][2] Any changes to the original operating system files are stored as differences from the base. As such, "deletions" of these original files are saved as additional difference references, and the originals are hidden. With this mechanism, physical storage space is consumed in the overlay file space (nothing can be recovered from the read-only original). The apparent free space in the virtual root filesystem as reported by the df command will increase, but this additional space is not physically available; however, when a new or changed file is deleted, the new or changed sectors only are available for reuse, but, unfortunately, the count of allocated sectors does not change, so one can not be certain of the availability of free physical space after arbitrary changes to the root filesystem.
Consumption of the space allocated for persistent storage in the snapshot overlay file may be tracked with the device mapper dmsetup status report.
For example, dmsetup status live-rw may return
live-rw: 0 8388608 snapshot 42296/1048576 176
where the fraction after
snapshot is the number of 512-byte sectors allocated in the overlay over the total number available in the overlay. (The final number is the metadata sectors allocated, and the number before
snapshot is the apparent size of the virtual filesystem.)
Unfortunately, there is no process written to monitor the overlay consumption level and provide a graceful warning of its imminent exhaustion and the subsequent failure of the root filesystem. So where long-term usage of a LiveOS image is anticipated, special attention to overlay consumption is advised.
- (Last-ditch recovery of a persistent overlay for a failed root filesystem may be attempted from a separate boot of a working system.)
Several developments in the LiveOS design may be considered to maximize the endurance of the LiveOS image.
Avoid persistent overlay consumption
- Use a persistent home.img file system to mount on the /home folder (discussed above).
- This is a very effective method to avoid consumption and will also make the user files more available for sharing and backup purposes.
- Move the root user's home to /home/root in a persistent home.img.
- This would avoid some consumption, but would compromise the root user account if there was a boot problem and the /home folder was not mounted.
- Mount more folders onto temporary, in-memory filesystems (like /var/cache/yum, /var/tmp, & /tmp are now).
- /var/lib/NetworkManager (holds a timestamps file that is deleted and refreshed quite often, every 5 minutes)
- /var/log/audit (holds the SELinux audit.log that records a great many file accesses.)
- /var/spool/abrt (holds often large, error reports and core dumps). Users could be advised to act on any abrt reports in the current session or copy the reports to other permanent storage, such as in /home/ or external storage.
- there may be other good candidates...
Merge overlay into new image
A new root filesystem image can be constructed by using some Device-mapper tools.
If one has sufficient free disk space available, typically on an attached hard drive, one can copy (and uncompress) the current filesystem to a working folder. (This may require, for example, 4.3 GiB of free space for Fedora 17 Live Desktop.)
Device-mapper's mirror target allows one to create a 'mirror' image of the LiveOS root filesystem (the snapshot based on the SquashFS and overlay device). The mirror image can be then be recompressed, and if one has an additional 660 MiB or more of free space (depending on how much software or other root filesystem files have been added) on your LiveOS device filesystem (the USB/SD card filesystem), one can delete the old SquashFS image and replace it with the recompressed version.
The snapshot overlay can then be reset before rebooting the LiveOS device.
The following Bash script demonstrates the process, where the $1 parameter is a mount point directory for a disk partition with sufficient storage capacity (a LiveOS folder will be created there for holding the mirrored filesystem), and $2 is the LiveOS device node name (such as, /run/initramfs/livedev, for the currently booted LiveOS image, or /dev/sdc1, for example, for an attached LiveOS device). Options xtrace and verbose have been set to aid debugging.

Note: If the above script is invoked on a currently booted LiveOS root filesystem, the system will be scheduled for a reboot one minute after the script completes.
The Device-mapper snapshot-merge target also allows one to merge changes in a persistent snapshot into the original filesystem (See notes from Andrew Gilmore).

The mirror method copies and merges in one pass, while the snapshot-merge method copies the original filesystem first and then merges in the changes. I've found the mirror method to be about 15% faster.
Overlay recovery
If one 'exhausts' the limited storage capacity of a LiveOS overlay, Device-mapper will mark the filesystem as 'Invalid', as shown by the dmsetup status command executed in Terminal or a console (if you haven't crashed):
# dmsetup status live-osimg-min: 0 8388608 snapshot 2464/2464 24 live-rw: 0 8388608 snapshot Invalid
The invalid bit is 00 at byte 5 of the overlay. You might try to recover the overlay by switching it to 01 with the following command line:
# echo $'\x01' | dd of=/path/to/overlay-file bs=1 count=1 seek=4 conv=notrunc
where /path/to/overlay may be /mnt/live/LiveOS/overlay-devicename-discUUID or
/media/devicename/LiveOS/overlay-devicename-discUUID for an attached device.
Follow this by registering the LiveOS image with Device-mapper:
# mount /media/devicename/LiveOS/squashfs.img /mnt/some_mountpoint # losetup /dev/loop1 /mnt/some_mountpoint/LiveOS/ext3fs.img -r # losetup /dev/loop2 /media/devicename/LiveOS/overlay-devicename-discUUID # dmsetup create devicename --table "0 8388608 snapshot 7:1 7:2 P 8"
- devicename in the last line may be any string.
- loop1 and loop2 (and the corresponding 7:1 7:2) may be any free loop devices; just substitute the appropriate numbers.
- 8388608 is the size of the ext3fs.img file in 512 byte units. This can be read by the following command:
# blockdev -q --getsz /dev/loop1
# dmsetup status
to check the the virtual filesystem has been configured.
Then try to repair any damage with the following command:
# e2fsck -f -y /dev/mapper/devicename
where devicename is the string you used in the dmsetup create command.
Run a second check,
# e2fsck -p /dev/mapper/devicename
to verify if the filesystem could be repaired. At this point you will want to enlarge the overlay, or backup or rebuild the image.
Remove the virtual filesystem registration,
# dmsetup remove devicename
Determine the size of the overlay file:
# blockdev -q --getsz /dev/loop2 # losetup -d /dev/loop2 # losetup -d /dev/loop1 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/overlay-file seek=overlay_size count=size_increase
where overlay_size and size_increase are now 512 byte units.
Once you have a working filesystem, you should proceed to merge your overlay into the original filesystem as described above.
- See this dm-devel thread.
- The method of mirroring the LiveOS was adapted from Douglas McClendon's ZyX-LiveInstaller.

A "small story" with big implications
There are many things I like about designer Emily Pilloton's "Teaching Design for a Change" video presentation (below). Maybe it's the unlikely yet highly compelling story of a sophisticated designer landing in a very poor, very rural and most definitely unsophisticated town where great things start to happen.
Or, maybe it's "seeing" the critical role schools can play in building a stronger connected community. This small story narrative paints a possible picture for other budget-conscious, seemingly hopeless school situations. And, how can one not find hope by watching how this particular school system in Bertie County can become a catalyst for the community to connect learning at home.
A must-view segment is where Pilloton crafts her story about the important intersection between education, design and community at the six minute mark. Truly a Daniel Pink "symphony" moment.
Pilloton credits the experience and vision of a new school superintendent, Dr. Chip Zullinger - aka Dr. Z - who arrived in 2007, as instrumental to her move to Bertie County, the poorest in North Carolina, to partner as design consultant (at the 3:00 mark, where the good news begins).
- Emily Pilloton
Other notable moments: the outdoor "Learning Landscape" (8:00 ) used as a venue to teach math, specifically a physical musical chair approach toward multiplication tables; Pilloton's version of "Shop Class" a new junior year program (at the 12:00 mark); having a shared ownership with teachers to create the "conditions" for change, and how design offers a different type of classroom . . .
Whether or not you've been tuned in to NBC's recent School Pride program, a series that follows school design make-overs with "Survivor"-like emotional drama and appeal, or a few of the recent school-of-the-future meanderings in the media of late, Pilloton's presentation takes us on a more thoughtful, glocal (think global, act local) ride:

Julius J. Epstein, a screenwriter of sharp, sardonic dialogue who won an Academy Award for the script of ''Casablanca,'' died here on Saturday. He was 91.
Mr. Epstein wrote more than 50 movies in a 50-year career. He and his identical twin, Philip, were responsible for the wit and cynicism of ''Casablanca,'' while Howard Koch, who shared the 1943 Academy Award with them, provided much of the film's ardent patriotism.
The usual wages of screenwriting in Hollywood are money and oblivion, but Mr. Epstein's career stretched from 1934 to 1984, when he received his fourth Oscar nomination for screenwriting, for ''Reuben, Reuben,'' a comedy with Tom Conti adapted from a Peter De Vries novel about a self-destructive poet.
In a 1984 interview, Mr. Epstein provided a glimpse of what it was like to write under the studio system, even if what he was writing turned out to be one of the country's most enduring movies: ''There wasn't one moment of reality in 'Casablanca.' We weren't making art. We were making a living. Movies in those days were prevented from reality. Every leading man had to be a great sexual athlete. Every boy and girl had to 'meet cute,' and the girl had to dislike the hero when they met. If a woman committed adultery, she had to die. Now the woman who commits adultery is your heroine.''
Mr. Epstein earned his first Oscar nomination in 1938 for ''Four Daughters,'' the movie (based on a Fannie Hurst story) that introduced John Garfield. After Julius and Philip began their collaboration in 1939, their screen credits -- mostly adaptations of plays and novels -- included ''The Strawberry Blonde,'' ''The Man Who Came to Dinner,'' ''Arsenic and Old Lace'' and ''Mr. Skeffington,'' a 1944 Bette Davis film that touched on the taboo subject of anti-Semitism.Continue reading the main story
Jack Warner was so pleased with ''Casablanca'' that he made the twins the producers of ''Mr. Skeffington,'' as well as the writers.
Mr. Epstein once said that the ability to write good dialogue was genetic: ''You're born with it like a good football player is born.''
At Warner Brothers, where the Epstein twins worked as a team for more than a decade, they were constantly being asked to add zip and sparkle to other writers' scripts. James Cagney refused to accept the role of George M. Cohan in ''Yankee Doodle Dandy,'' a role that won him his Oscar as best actor in 1942, until he was assured that the Epsteins would liven up the screenplay.
According to Alvah Bessie, another Warner Brothers screenwriter, the twins won every wisecracking competition during lunch. When Julius's two-story house was burned in a 1963 fire in Bel Air as he watched the destruction on television, he rose to the occasion with, ''Well, we always wanted a one-story house.''
After Philip died of cancer at 42 in 1952, Mr. Epstein wrote nearly two dozen more movies, including ''Pete 'n' Tillie,'' a Walter Matthau-Carol Burnett film for which he received his third Oscar nomination.
In 1998 Mr. Epstein received the Los Angeles Film Critics Association's career achievement award.
Mr. Epstein was divorced from the actress Frances Sage. He is survived by his second wife, Ann, and two children from his first marriage, a son, James, and a daughter, Elizabeth Schwartz. A son, Philip, from his second marriage died last year.
Julius Epstein was born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan to the owners of a livery stable. The Epstein twins learned to fight early. In 1929, Julius was intercollegiate bantamweight boxing champion and captain of the Penn State boxing team, which won the national championship. Philip, always a few pounds heavier, was Penn State's intramural lightweight champion.
Julius came to Hollywood in 1933 as a ghostwriter for the producer Jerry Wald. He always insisted that he was the model for Julian Blumberg, the brilliant nebbish whose screenplay is stolen by Sammy Glick in Budd Schulberg's novel ''What Makes Sammy Run?'' Mr. Wald, who was said to be a major model for Sammy Glick, sold Mr. Epstein's script, ''Living on Velvet,'' to Warner Brothers as a screenplay by Jerry Wald and Julius Epstein. For a year, Mr. Epstein wrote scripts with Mr. Wald. After that, Warner Brothers allowed Mr. Epstein to write scripts without a collaborator, so Mr. Wald brought Philip Epstein to Hollywood as his new ghostwriter.
The Epsteins are credited with overthrowing one of the industry's great shibboleths. Jack Warner caught them coming into the studio at 1:30 one afternoon in time for lunch at the writers' table and told them to read their contract. Writers were to punch in at the studio at 9 o'clock every morning. ''Bank presidents and railroad presidents can get to work at 9,'' the studio head said. ''I don't see why you can't.''
That afternoon, when lunch was over, they handed him an incomplete script and challenged him to get a bank president to finish it. On another occasion, when Mr. Warner said one of their scenes was terrible, they needled him with: ''How can that be possible? The scene was written at 9 a.m.''
When Philip Epstein came down with appendicitis during the writing of ''The Strawberry Blonde,'' the James Cagney-Rita Hayworth film, they had to work at home while he recuperated. They finished the job in half the usual time, and the movie was a big hit. After that the Warners let them work at home, where they usually put in two intensive hours -- all they felt they were good for -- and spent the rest of the day playing tennis or listening to ballgames.
Mr. Epstein liked to tell stories with a pinch of irony, a twist of self-deprecation. For example, the brothers could not think of a plausible reason that Rick Blaine, the character played by Humphrey Bogart in ''Casablanca,'' could not return to America and had to remain in Casablanca. So they came up with brilliant dialogue to disguise that fact:
Louis Renault, the police chief played by Claude Raines, asks: ''I've often speculated on why you don't return to America. Did you abscond with the church funds? Did you run off with the senator's wife? I'd like to think that you killed a man. It's the romantic in me.''
Rick: ''It was a combination of all three.''
Renault: ''And what in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?''
Rick: ''My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.''
Renault: ''What waters? We're in the desert.''
Rick: ''I was misinformed.''
The ending to ''Casablanca'' was written a dozen times, none a satisfactory answer to the question of whether and how Ingrid Bergman should wind up with Paul Henreid or Humphrey Bogart.
Then, Mr. Epstein recalled: ''My brother and I were driving down Sunset Boulevard, and we looked at each other and said, 'Round up the usual suspects.' Somebody must have been murdered. Who was murdered? Major Strasser. Who killed him? Rick! That was the way we got our ending.''
Less successful at writing plays than screenplays, the Epsteins reached Broadway twice, with ''And Stars Remain'' (1936), starring Clifton Webb, and with the modest hit ''Chicken Every Sunday'' in 1944. In 1954, their play ''Front Porch in Flatbush'' was turned into a musical called ''Saturday Night'' by the young, unknown Stephen Sondheim. The musical, which was to have opened on Broadway in 1955, was withdrawn after its producer died; it finally received its New York premiere last February.
Writing for Hollywood was a bit easier in some respects during the heyday of the studio system. ''Today, each picture is so terribly important for your career,'' Mr. Epstein said in 1984. ''In the old days, your fate didn't hang on one picture. You were writing one picture. Another was in production. Another was in theaters.''
Howard Koch died in 1995, and with Mr. Epstein's death all the major contributors to ''Casablanca'' are gone. Until the end of his life, Mr. Epstein had a rueful relationship with the movie. In 1951 and again in 1967, he tried to turn it into a Broadway musical. Eventually he decided that musicals, sequels and television series based on the film never work simply because ''people have in their heads Bogart and Bergman.''
''The new actors may be better,'' he said, ''but they're not Bogart and Bergman.''Continue reading the main story


text: Penn State Dairy Herd Manages Through Cold Winter May 2, 2014 10:31 AM Tweet Penn State Dairy Cows © Penn State University Extension TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email Maintaining energy requirements through the cold winter keeps the Penn State Dairy Herd milking consistently to take advantage of almost a $30 milk price. March was an uneventful month. The weather was becoming more seasonal and the herd remained on a 60% forage diet. Overall the herd performed very well. For the past three months the energy corrected milk has averaged 89 pounds/cow. The herd ration was fairly consistent except for some minor changes to the corn silage source. The bunk corn silage being fed started to transition back into the 2012 silage. When filling silos in the fall we were not completely finished with this particular bunk. The decision was made to stop feeding it and fill with 2013 silage. Since the 2012 silage was very high in starch content, we opened a bag of 2013 corn silage to blend the two for the herd. The cows continued to average 85 pounds. The bunk was finished the second week in the month and we switched to a blend of the upright corn silage and the bag. The cows came up two pounds in milk. I have observed this many times with our cows that they perform better on dryer corn silage (upright or bag) compared to the wetter material stored in the bunk. The forage analysis on the 2012 corn silage was almost identical to the 2013 upright corn silage. The major difference was dry matter percent. The bunk dry matter percent averaged 39% compared to the upright at 47%. To successfully store silage at this dry matter it is chopped fine, probably finer than most producers would feel comfortable feeding. However, our cows respond very well in both production and components. Coming off of an extremely cold winter I have been concerned about cows receiving adequate energy. I went through the herd examining body condition. I was extremely pleased how well cows were maintaining condition. Our lactating herd generally scores around 3.0 to 3.1 on the five point scale. Cows appeared to average a 3.2 to 3.3. Since increasing the sugar content in the fresh pen, cows have continued to average 10 pounds above where they had been before the change. This year has been starting off very well when examining milk price, milk income and feed costs. This is the time for producers to optimize income. However, I have worked with several producers recently who are missing out on some opportunities. Herds that are performing well and keeping feed costs in line have their feed costs at 30% of their milk income. The Penn State herd is ranging between 29-31%. Herds not doing such a good job are around 40%. Normally this would be good, but right now with the strong milk price this shows some missed opportunities. In the popular press there are many statements about lower feed costs. That is all relative because feed costs are still high, just not as high. The first 3 months in 2013 had our feed cost averaging $7.20/cow compared to the same time this year of $6.63/cow. Herds maintaining high milk income are not feeling the pinch as much regarding the feed cost. However, if these feed costs stay relatively high and milk price would drop significantly, then herds will experience a negative impact to their cash flow. It isn't a matter of if the milk price will drop but when it will drop. For the month of March the herd averaged 86.3 pounds with a 3.82% milk fat, 3.22% milk protein, 127,000 SCC and 7.9 mg/dl MUN.

Bark beetles and egrets don't care whether Governor This or Senator That believes in global warming. They feel it in their whatevers. Responding to warmer temperatures, plant and wildlife are moving north or uphill to cooler elevations, according to a new study published in Science magazine. For example, higher temperatures in the Rocky Mountains have set off a population explosion of bark beetles now devouring its beautiful pine forests.
Will humans will follow the flora and fauna? The question, of course, goes beyond matters of biology. Climatologists say planet warming makes hurricanes fiercer and droughts meaner. Human inhabitants of regions prone to such calamities suffer the discomfort or fear of rising sea levels, wind, deluges and fire. But global warming will also cost them.
Insurers are now including climate change in their calculations of risks, reports Bloomberg BusinessWeek. This could mean higher premiums. It could mean forcing homeowners to spend more on such items as wind-proofing. It could mean shrinking coverage for natural disasters — narrowing the so-called God Clause.
The drought in Texas has reached biblical proportions. Wildfires are consuming homes. Ranchers have given up their cattle, as farmers lose their crops. In some parts, water supplies are so low and concentrated that people are brushing teeth with bottled water.
Climatologists are listing factors other than global warming, chiefly La Nina, a cooling pattern in the tropical Pacific that holds off rain. But climate change has left Texas starting from a hotter base. Its temperatures are now 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit higher than they were in the '80s and '90s. That means you need more water than before to grow the same amount of crops.
By 2060, Texas could be five degrees hotter than now, according to state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon. He has declared this the worst one-year drought in recorded Texas history and the hottest summer of any state in U.S. history. (Oklahoma and New Mexico are not far behind.)
Texas is no stranger to droughts. There was a long and terrible siege in the 1950s. But besides a lower base temperature, the big difference in 1950 was that Texas had fewer than 8 million people to supply with water. It now has 25 million.
The drought has inspired Gov. Rick Perry to pray for rain. He accuses scientists who insist that humans burning fossil fuels plays a role in global warming (the expert consensus, actually) of making it up to enhance their research budgets. If man has little or nothing to do with it, then man can just sit back. Or perhaps move to Minnesota.
Meanwhile, Texas homeowners are confronting massive electric bills for running air conditioners as temperatures swelter in the triple digits for weeks at a time. A friend in Palestine, Texas, reports that he doesn't lower his thermostat below 85 degrees during the day, to avoid getting clobbered by a massive a/c bill. And monthly water costs are soaring, with some residential bills going well into the hundreds.
The wildfires have fouled the air. The beauty of local vegetation is gone. Birds migrating south could die of thirst. (Texans have been asked to put out bowls of water for the hummingbirds passing through.)
Elsewhere, North Carolina is cleaning up the debris from Hurricane Irene. New Jersey and Pennsylvania, hit by Irene, were flooded again by Tropical Storm Lee.
Stuff does happen in nature. But it takes a sturdy hostility to science to bash the experts giving us all fair warning of worse cataclysm ahead if we don't act. Do nothing to curb global warming, and we humans will be following the bark beetle up the slopes.

Lil' Raspy is a little sensitive. He's low ABV, got a soft, white, fluffy cap and the raspberry puree he's brewed with gives him a pinkish hue. And that makes people think he isn't tough. But he's a prickly sucker… definitely one of the most sour beers the Mad Scientists have released in recent memory.
We made Raspy using a process called kettle souring, an innovative technique that lets brewers quickly and accurately create sour beers. Generally, to make beer, you begin by steeping grain in water in a process called mashing, in a vessel called the mash tun. After getting the sugars, proteins and enzymes needed to make beer out of the grain, you transfer this sweet liquid called wort into the next vessel, the kettle. In the kettle, generally, the beer is boiled and hops are added.
But kettle souring involves putting another step in the process prior to boil. When the wort has been moved to the kettle, souring agents, specifically lactobacillus, are pitched. Lactobacillus is the same organism that makes yogurt tart – it eats sugars and spits out lactic acid, which makes beer sour.
Purple Choose Sparkling Blue Creative Women's Bag Translucent Colour Sequins Acrylic From Color To Rabbit Quicksand Lovely Evening Multi Then, you boil the beer as normal, stopping the lacto in its tracks. You transfer to a fermenter, pitch yeast, and you're back on track making beer in traditional fashion. That's part of what makes kettle souring so interesting and attractive – by boiling immediately after souring, you don't risk infecting the other beers in the brewhouse, and you can make complex and sour beer in relatively short order.
For Raspy, we let the lacto go wild, creating a tough, crisp, sour bite. Don't sleep on Lil' Raspy. He's tougher than he looks!
After he was soured, fermented and ready to go, we shipped Lil' Raspy out to the Oregon Brewer's Festival in Portland as a speciality brew (but don't worry NYC you get some too). He was nervous at first, but eventually got pretty pumped to head west…
For NYC, the Mad Scientists also created a proprietary raspberry-serrano-jalapeño syrup. For all the details, head over to BK Magazine.

I am so thankful for this.
I would invite you in...scoop you a bowl of extra cold coffee ice cream...it's the kind with heath.bar crunch bits in it.
I would curl up on the floor, blanket around my toes ...there would be toys and pieces of dinosaur puzzles sprinkled all around us.
I so much need those times with him.
It totally fills up my love tank.
I would tell you how when I was dating him and married him, I loved him...but now years later- I love him more than ever before. Goodness, we have both changed so much...honestly all for the better....and I am just so blessed by him.
Truly happy.
Everyday with Chris and I being freelance we have to trust...so yet again, I am trusting that God will provide for us.
Oh and I'd probably spill a little secret that November 3&4 was looking really good for the event.
I would tell you that there is a part in this video that makes me weep every time. It is when Aiden is walking up to the counter with his tickets. For some reason it makes me cry so hard. It's like I want to give him everything. I want to make money so that I can buy him his first house and make all his dreams come true. I want this for all my kiddos and their future families. Alot of people want to make money for themselves...for their own security and their own life- I want to make it for them.
All for them.
Instant tears.
I would ask if anything is holding you back?

Pro Evolution Soccer is the best-selling footie franchise in the world. Known for its supple control and massive modding community, PES has won a special place in the hearts and minds of world football fans.
Unfortunately, jumping to current gen consoles has been a difficult transition for the franchise. Last year's outing was a major step down for the series and this year's is only marginally better. It seems like the Japanese-made soccer franchise has lost something in translation. New additions like the famed UEFA Champions League license and an improved friendly A.I. go a long way to making it a more enjoyable experience. However, one can't help but get the feeling that Konami is trying to follow in the footsteps of EA. The problem is, they're unable to execute upon this strategy with nearly as much finesse and polish.
Thankfully, PES 2009 is still enjoyable to play. The passing game has been tweaked just enough to make anyone Brazilian samba-slick. I loved the intelligent runs made by my teammates, and getting through-balls to them with a perfectly weighted pass is a dream. Crossing has also been vastly improved. Sending in high, low, and ground crosses takes a bit to get used to, but the end result is usually lethal; crossing the ball into the box will always challenge the defense and keep them on their toes. This emphasis on possession play is both satisfying and extremely effective. PES 2009 is definitely better than the series' 2008 edition, and it even manages to somewhat outplay the competition. By far, the friendly A.I. and the forgiving passing mechanic are the most interesting aspects of this title, though much of the simulation feels is lost due to the uber passing-friendly gameplay.
Moreover, there is a significant learning curve when it comes to controls. In fact, I would consider the controls to be brutal. Sure, it's easy to casually dribble, make short and long passes, execute a through-ball, and get a shot on goal. But, if you really want to compete online, mastering double and triple taps, holding down modifier buttons, memorizing button combinations, and executing feints, challenges, and give-and-go's with perfect timing is absolutely essential. The control layout is incredibly complex and frustrating and will take at least ten hours of getting your butt handed to you before muscle memory truly begins to set in. As such, PES 2009 is not for the casual footballer. This game truly takes a commitment from the gamer.
Control pitfalls aside, there have been a couple modes added to the mix. The all-new Become a Legend is very similar to FIFA's Be a Pro feature. Gamers create their own player by tweaking all the vital statistics, and then set off to play as an individual star. However, like what plagued EA's attempt, soccer just isn't made for such a mode. It can get rather boring making unused runs and watching the game being played around you, and constantly calling for the ball kind of defeats the purpose of taking on a specific role. Thankfully, Become a Legend mode does allow you to bring your star online. This serves to bolster the mode and make it worthwhile, even though playing by yourself can be mighty boring. Playing online with up to three other friends can be a lot of fun, but points are awarded for individual prowess on the pitch, so ball-hogging can be a significant issue. What's more, you will still be playing against the same A.I. you were whilst balling alone. Not being able to play against human competition is a decided detriment to this mode of play.
Of course, the Master League mode is still in full effect and provides for an engaging career mode. However, it is no longer the star of the PES show. That distinction goes to the exclusively licensed, UEFA Champions League mode. This tournament of tournaments does a great job of capturing the essence of European football. Playing the best teams in Europe with full licensure is a much needed addition for Konami's franchise. Unfortunately, not all teams and individual leagues are fully represented. This has been a constant critique of the series as a whole, and one where EA has always had an advantage. Though the Champions League comes with all the fanfare and trappings of the actual competition, key teams are missing, which hampers the overall experience.

In case you missed it, tangrs has been working hard for the past few months to get Linux ported to the TI-Nspire calculator.
The port is not yet fully stabilized nor quite ready for broad consumption and requires some user-level knowledge of Linux systems, but is definitely worth a try. It basically looks like a Ndless-based TI-Nspire specific loader configured to run a Linux kernel image with a RAM disk .
Experimental support for root filesystem installed on USB mass storage is being worked on, so that Datalight's proprietary Flash FX/Reliance filesystem used by TI's OS isn't a limit anymore. This also means that the native TI-Nspire OS image is not replaced by the Linux system, and Linux can been booted on demand.
Support for USB keyboard, X server, directFB, Wi-Fi (with the help of a powered USB hub) and text-based Internet browsing is progressively being added and tested (thanks to Vogtinator for the build and demo).
Linux for the TI-Nspire also means instant compatibility with hundreds programs (although cross-compilation to ARM is necessary), including command line tools, script engines, mathematical and scientific utilities and games, as long as the constrained RAM size and CPU speed are not an issue for them.
The project is under active development, tangrs is looking for contributors to make Linux become a strong alternative to the stock OS.

EL MONTE >> A transsexual woman has filed a federal civil rights claim alleging she was raped by an on-duty El Monte police officer last year.
The complaint, filed Oct. 18, seeks unspecified damages and lists El Monte and an unnamed police officer as defendants. It also named up to eight additional unidentified defendants.
Court documents indicate the alleged attack took place between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. Oct. 23, 2012, as the victim was walking at the northeast corner of Central and Garvey avenues.
The uniformed officer is accused of pulling up alongside the transsexual woman and ordering her to lean into the driver-side window of his marked patrol car. Fearing for her safety if she refused, the victim complied, according to the complaint.
"El Monte Police Officer John Doe groped her breasts," the complaint alleged. "He then asked plaintiff if she was a 'nasty she-male.' Plaintiff responded that she was transsexual."
The complaint goes on to allege that the officer ordered the victim into a nearby alley, then ordered her to follow him to a deserted and poorly lit loading dock area in the 10000 block of Garvey Avenue.
Once there, "El Monte Police Officer John Doe got out of his car and ordered plaintiff to perform oral sex on him." according to the complaint.
"After a few minutes, El Monte Police Officer John Doe told plaintiff to stand up and bend over the trunk of the police car," the complaint stated. The officer allegedly told the victim in course language that he was going to rape her.
The officer called the victim by a pejorative name and told her, "you like this, don't you," as the assault continued, court documents claim.
Once the assault was over, the officer allegedly told the woman to "get out of here," before leaving the area himself in his patrol car.
After walking away from the area, the woman returned to the scene and collected a condom discarded by the officer during the alleged attack, according to the complaint. She turned over the condom to Los Angeles County sheriff's investigators, who said they are looking into the allegation.
"At all times, plaintiff felt threatened by El Monte Police Officer John Doe's actions and only complied with his directions out of fear for her physical safety," the complaint stated. "At no point did El Monte Police Officer John Doe have probable cause to detain the plaintiff."
In a written statement Thursday, El Monte Police Chief Steve Schuster said the department was taking the allegation seriously.
"These allegations are very disturbing and clearly not representative of the expectations we have for the men and women who serve the El Monte Police Department. We take any allegation against our Police Department or individual police officers very seriously because we hold our officers to the highest standard," Schuster said.
"The officer in question has been put on administrative leave while an internal investigation (is) conducted. We have asked the Los Angeles (County) Sheriff's Department to conduct a criminal investigation of the claims and are fully cooperating with that process."
Department spokeswoman Valerie Martinez said the officer was placed on leave immediately once the allegation was made last October.
Lt. Bob Peacock of the Sheriff's Internal Affairs Bureau confirmed detectives have been investigating the El Monte officer, but declined to name the officer. He said the officer has not been arrested.
"El Monte police requested we conduct a criminal investigation," Peacock said. He added that detectives expect to turn over their findings to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office for consideration of charges within the next few months.
Investigators were still waiting on a few bits of evidence, including the results of DNA analysis, Peacock said.
Rancho Cucamonga-based attorney Robert Kitson, who is representing the transsexual woman, said the officer's identity was not yet known to himself or his client.
He declined to discuss the case in detail, since it is already headed toward litigation. El Monte and it's Police Department were served with a court summons Tuesday, records show.
"The complaint is quite detailed. It speaks for itself," Kitson said.
In addition to alleging civil rights violations on the part of the officer allegedly involved in the sexual assault, the lawsuit claims that Police Department supervisors, "failed to properly train and supervise El Monte Police Officer John Doe. Their acts or omissions were the product of a deliberate indifference to the constitutional and legal rights of plaintiff."
The El Monte officer is not the only San Gabriel Valley law enforcement officer currently accused of sexually assaulting a woman while on-duty.
In another lawsuit filed in April, a Chino woman alleges that an Irwindale police officer forced her to perform oral sex on him during a traffic stop on Oct. 20, 2012. The suit, which is pending, seeks $1 million in damages.
