Fly fishing is a passion, science and lifestyle all in one. Long before it was popularized in the 1992 movie "A River Runs Through It," fathers bonded with sons (moms and daughters too) with trips to the local sporting goods store, followed by casting that first rod and reel.
Whether in saltwater or freshwater, pond, lake or stream, anglers strive for the poetry in motion of an arcing cast with a weighted line to net trout, bass and more.
There are many techniques and strategies to landing fish with a fly, and fly fishing is one of those endeavors that is a tad maddening, like golf, with a host of ideas about the best game plans.
For Ossipee guide Rick Estes of Owl's Roost Outfitters, fly fishing is an escape from routine and a way to connect with nature. He encourages new fly fishers to stick with it.
"The only caution I have is that fly fishing can appear very intimidating," he says. "The key is don't let it be. Enjoy it for what it is. There is plenty of time to be intimidated when you get good at it."
True. Fly fishing is loaded with lingo – line, tippets, knots, leaders, etc. But with time anglers come to understand the terms of the graceful and challenging pursuit. The gear can start off simply with a rod and reel and progress to waders, vests and, of course, those artificial lures called a fly that mimic movements of insects and other tasty creatures.
Estes says fly fishing isn't a competitive sport or one to keep score.
"Just treat it with respect," he says. "It's a mechanism of becoming one with the world around you."
The first Saturday of June is NH Free Fishing Day.
New Hampshire native Rick Estes is a life-long angler and licensed fishing guide. For 28 years, he was a New Hampshire Fish and Game game warden with territory in the Lakes Region and White Mountains. He owns and operates Owl's Roost Outfitters in Ossipee with guided trips to places he knows best.
How do I get started? There are a number of options. Certainly going to your local fly shop is a great way to start. New Hampshire Fish and Game sponsors beginning fly fishing seminars. Also the "Becoming an Outdoor Woman" program is available to the ladies. Most guides who specialize in fly fishing will introduce folks into the sport. Some sporting lodges, guide services, Trout Unlimited chapters, and sporting clubs offer instruction.
What's the attraction? Probably initially it is the beauty of the cast or the flies that first attract folks to fly fishing. However, as they master the casting and learn to read the water they find themselves separated from their everyday humdrum. They soon find it as a place to temporarily escape. As your skills progress it is so much more than catching a fish. All the life around you is connected to the water and its inhabitants. I like to think that trout don't exist in ugly places.
What's a good rod for a beginner? You can cast a fly with a $150 outfit and reap the pleasure of being an accurate successful fly fisher. Look at it from the fish's point of view – it couldn't care less if you have an expensive rod. The fish is only looking for a bug or a smaller fish coming into range that he can capture. If you have the capability to present that fly so that it fits that criteria then he/she will be fooled.
How complicated is it to rig my own line and how well-versed in fly-fishing lingo do I have to be? I am assuming you are asking about more than putting a reel on a rod and stringing the line through the guides with that question. There are about four knots that need to be mastered in order to connect the line to the backing on one end and to the leader on the other end. Then you need to attach a fly to the leader to complete the task. Knots are one of the things that come from a good introductory class to fly fishing.
How do I know which fly to use? That's all part of the observation of all things around you that I spoke of. If the fish are taking bugs, then what are they? How big are they? What color are they? How are those bugs being taken? Or are the fish taking smaller fish? The fly fisher needs a keen observation skill set. That's the attraction to fly fishing for most of us. That intense observation is how you become disconnected from all the worries of the world.
Is it easy to tie knots for the line and put flies on? Yes.
What's the best way to find a good fishing spot? Pay your dues. Go out and learn about the water. It's the biggest part of the sport. There is no way to describe the satisfaction that comes from figuring it out and catching that fish all on your own. Now you might say thats a strange thing for a guide to say. What I offer as a guide is more than where the fish are. I have boats and gear that not everybody will go out and purchase. I have knowledge that will make you a better fly fisher faster. I have arrived at my level by many, many years of paying my dues.

GES boss introduces early childhood teacher award
A special award to recognise the outstanding contributions of an early childhood education teacher to the development of children will be introduced at this year's Ghana Teacher Prize Awards Ceremony.
Known as the DG's Award for the Best Early Childhood Teacher, the initiative is the brainchild of the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Prof. Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa.
"One of the areas that is very key to me is the level at which we lay the foundation and that is the early childhood. And over the last four years, I have been part of the campaign for the right age for enrolment. And today, I want to indicate to my good friend … that this year, I am instituting a Special DG's Award for the Best Early Childhood Teacher," Prof. Opoku-Amankwa said at the launch of the 2021 Ghana Teacher Prize in Accra yesterday.
This year's event is on the theme: "Teachers Wanted: Reclaiming Teaching and Learning for a Human-Centred Recovery."
It is scheduled to take place in Sunyani in the Bono Region on October 5, 2021.
World Teachers' Day has been set aside to, among other things, recognise the contributions of teachers to the development of human resource across the world.
Held annually on October 5 since 1994, World Teachers' Day commemorates the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers.
Prof. Opoku-Amankwa said he would be discussing the details of the early childhood teacher award with the National Teaching Council, the entity charged with the organisation of the Ghana Teacher Prize
"This is because once we get the foundation right, we can get the super structure right. It is very important that we make the foundation very solid and we need to do everything to encourage them so that we can get it right from the beginning," he said.
He said the teacher was key in all the things that society did, and that it was also important that at every point in time their contributions needed to be acknowledged for the role they play in the nation's development efforts.
The GES Boss said for all the professions, no one could do without a teacher.
"For those of us who very soon would be going off the scene, our biggest social security are the young ones because when we leave they are the ones who would become the lawyers, accountants and so on, and take over all the roles that we play now.
"It is important that we prepare them well," he emphasised.
Prof. Opoku-Amankwa gave the assurance that the government would continue to provide the schools with the resources they needed for effective teaching and learning.
He said he relayed this message to the heads of schools last week when officials of the Ministry of Education and the GES visited some second cycle schools.

Parents: It is Never About You
I will do everything in my power to keep this article as professional as possible without turning it into a rant on paper.
Parents across the country are making their children's athletic endeavors about them, and its something that not only is embarrassing the parent, but it's hurting their kids more than they know. There is a difference between supporting your child by showing up at their game, and turning the game into a giant spectacle in which you are the main attraction.
College Coaches Recruit Parents
Recently, I was surfing through Twitter, and I came across a tweet from a notable assistant coach. He stated, "I was down to two separate players playing in this game as to who I liked more, after finding out these crazy parents are of one of them, I now have my answer." In the world of college basketball there isn't THAT big of a difference between certain recruits. This is where the intangible things become a factor. One major intangible that often parents don't realize is the situation of the player outside of the basketball court can play a major role. A lot of coaches don't recruit players in which they feel the recruitment process is going to be a circus, and a lot of coaches don't recruit players whose parents are going to EVER be an issue. Coaches have too much to worry about, so why bring on another issue (a players crazy, or perceived crazy, parents). All of the sudden this "support" that you are showing your son or daughter has not only looked incredibly idiotic, but it also potentially cost you financially, and your son an opportunity to fulfill his dreams. Was it really worth it?
Players Behaviors are a Direct Reflection of their Parents
How are you talking to your children when they get off of the court? Are you building them up and helping them understand their weaknesses in order to improve them? Or are you commiserating with them and blaming everyone else for what went wrong? I see thousands of players every year, and more often than not, the way that the players act on the court is a direct reflection of how the coach and the parents are acting. If a parent is complaining about 500 calls in the game, then the player is complaining about 500 calls in the game. And you know what they are not doing when they are complaining about the calls during the game? Worrying about the next play!! Teach your kids to fight through adversity because 9 times out of 10 if you take a step back from the situation you will realize that the refs were making the same calls for both teams, and in the end it was about who played better, not who got more calls. In short, the conversations you have with your children should be about their time in the game, not bashing the coach's decisions or the referees calls. Be an energy giver, not an energy sucker, and be a supporter, not an adversary.
ITS NOT ABOUT YOU
Nobody cares what you think as a parent. The referees are not going to change their calls if you yell at them, and if anything they will give you LESS calls because they will try to overcompensate if they feel they are getting bullied by the parents. You are embarrassing your kids. They may never tell you this, but trust me, you are. I recently sat next to a group of parents at an AAU game, in which one mother was yelling at the referees, the coach, and the other team's players. One by one the parents around her moved away until finally the player on the court turned to the mother and yelled, "SHUT UP MOM!!" This player got the courage, and ridiculously had to yell at his mom in front of a gym full of fans, but even if it doesn't get to this point, there is nothing admirable about being the loud parent who everyone is looking at. Just enjoy the game and enjoy the experience, but don't cause a scene and make it about you. For those of you who have been ejected from your child's basketball game, you should be ashamed. Support your kids by being there for them, and occasionally cheer and be involved in the game. At the end of the day its about your children and you have the privilege to watch and support them, but not the privilege act like an idiot during the game. If you want to yell and scream and run up and down the sidelines like a maniac, coach the team. Most coaches are giving the refs and teams more than they can chew without crazy parents constantly chiming in.
Think about why you are there, and remember there are always people watching you. You may not care about what other people think, but if you care about your children's progression as basketball players and people, the game should always stay about the kids who are playing on the court, and not the parents who are sitting in the stands.

Police association calls for homophobic recording of Stuart Walker murder
Stephen Gray November 1, 2011
The Gay Police Association has issued a call for the murder of barman Stuart Walker to be recorded as a homophobic incident.
Mr Walker was found dead with "horrible" injuries near an industrial estate in Cumnock on Saturday 22 October. He had been beaten and burned. Police arrested an 18-year-old man on Thursday evening in connection with the case.
The GPA praised the speed with which the investigation into the killing of Stuart Walker by Strathclyde Police resulted in an arrest but voiced concern that the Force has not been treated as potentially homophobic.
It is the concern that failing to classify the death as possibly motivated by homophobia may prevent such evidence surfacing.
The MacPherson report, which followed the murder of Stephen Lawrence in 1993, brought about a change in the definition of what constitutes a racist incident to a test of perception. This now extends to homophobia.
The ACPOS Hate Crime Manual states: "If a crime is perceived to be a hate crime by the victim or any other person, including a police officer, it should be recorded and investigated as such".
Chief Constable Stephen House said last week there was no reason to believe the attack was homophobic, and it had not been recorded in that way.
The contention raised by the GPA is that the test for homophobia at this stage is one of perception, not evidence, and that not recording an incident as having a potentially homophobic element may therefore mean such evidence never comes to light.
A final decision on whether an incident was motivated by homophobia would be made by the court trying the case, after considering evidence gathered during the investigation.
Strathclyde Police enjoys a 100% confidence rating in local leadership on issues about gay policing.
When PinkNews.co.uk spoke to Strathclyde Police this afternoon they said they were unable to give details about the Stuart Walker case as an arrest has been made.
The service also refused to answer general questions about whether an incident could be recorded as homophobic after an arrest had been made.

'I'd love to see him play for Jamaica'
Published:Tuesday | March 2, 2010 | 12:00 AM
Mother of Liverpool signee wants son to represent country of birth
Andre Lowe, Senior Staff Reporter
At 15 years old, Jamaica-born footballing prodigy Raheem Sterling is already capturing the British headlines, after recently penning a contract with European giants Liverpool amid interest from some of the top clubs in England.
Sterling, who grew up in the Queen's Park Rangers (QPR) youth system, drawing comparisons to the likes of international superstars Wayne Rooney and Theo Walcott, chose the Merseyside-based team over the likes of heavyweights Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Fulham.
The youngster, who recently made his debut for the England Under-16 team, was landed for a reported fee of £300,000, with QPR expected to receive further instalments if the one-time Maverley native breaks into the Liverpool first team.
His performances with the national team have done little to quell the hype around the winger, with several British publications hailing the speedy and skilful player as the next great English talent.
Hopes to represent JA
However, Sterling is first and foremost a Jamaican, and despite the obvious temptation of playing for England, he has not turned his back on his country of birth and still harbours thoughts of one day donning the Jamaican colours.
Sterling's mother, Nadine, is extremely proud of her son's achievement and was clear about the colours in which she would like to see his international future unfold.
Said Nadine: "I'm a true-born Jamaican and I love Jamaica so much. I always tell him that I would love to see him represent and play in my colours, his colours. So, of course, I would love to see him play for Jamaica one day."
She added: "I'm very happy for him; what makes him happy makes me happy, and I know that this is something that he is extremely happy about. He loves football and we are talking about Liverpool here, so again, I'm very happy about everything."
The youngster will travel to the club today where he will finalise some paperwork with authorities, and has already been included in the club's plans later this month for some promotional activity in Vietnam.
"He (Sterling) is in very high spirits, he is very excited about this and he is looking forward to getting started," Nadine shared.
She added that the Liverpool choice was not a difficult one, and that the club made it even easier by quickly matching QPR's evaluation of the player, while other clubs showed a reluctance to fork out the sum.
"They (Liverpool) were the only club that were really willing to pay up the money that QPR wanted for him, so Liverpool were obviously keen on getting him and they showed that they were serious," Nadine stated.
Head of development for QPR, Steve Gallen, has heaped praise on the youngster: "(Sterling) has loads of natural ability. This boy can pass, shoot, head it, score goals, tackle, defend, anything."
Liverpool's Managing Director Christian Purslow has lauded his new signing, telling the British press: "We have made clear that we will invest in outstanding young talent. Raheem is a very exciting young English player whose progress was being closely monitored by many other leading clubs and I'm delighted he's joining us."

9 Key Metrics for IT Success
By John Edwards
Is your IT organization a business champion or a burden? Here's a look at the essential KPIs for gauging IT's business effectiveness, including digital transformation.
It's strictly a numbers game when it comes to measuring the various aspects of IT success. Positive KPIs generally indicate that all is well with specific IT operations and services. Negative numbers, on the other hand, warn that IT efforts may be headed in the wrong direction or are already actively damaging enterprise goals.
In a world awash with IT-relevant KPIs, a few stand out as truly insightful. Here's a rundown of nine fundamental IT metrics — both internal and customer-focused — that matter most.
1. Utilization
While it can be tricky to measure, utilization is a fundamental IT success metric. "IT in general has a reputation for unsuccessful projects and costly, underutilized tools," says Jason Rappaport, president and CEO of Innovative, an IT strategy planning and support firm. "Therefore, those who are able to measure utilization and the impact of the IT systems and tools that support overall business goals are having the most success."
Rappaport warns, however, that IT metrics shouldn't exist in a vacuum, isolated from business metrics. "IT should be used to move the needle on specific business outcomes that are aligned with overall strategic goals," he explains. "Utilization metrics aligned with systems and tools that are intended to support overall business goals provide the greatest insight into the success of IT within the organization."
Nick Brigman, vice president of digital strategy and client enablement at IT consulting and management services provider CompuCom, says that it's also important to listen to end users. "After each project, it's important to solicit feedback from the business and/or the technology group you're partnering with to gain further insights into the areas that perform well, the areas that are exceeding expectations and what could be improved moving forward."
2. Time required to deliver defined business goals
Today's economy is very dynamic and requires businesses to adjust and innovate frequently, observes Lahav Savir, executive vice president and chief architect at cloud services provider AllCloud. Frequent strategy adjustments are fundamental and strongly dependent on IT systems. "In order for IT to be true business enablers, the amount of time to deliver defined business goals metric can be key to the organization's success or failure," Savir says. "Even though IT is not customer-facing, it should be perfectly aligned with the business goals and should be an enabler."
3. Cost and revenue indicators
As digital transformation progresses, Brigman advises paying close attention to cost and revenue indicators. "Measure reduction in administrative expenses, operational costs and customer acquisition costs," he suggests. "Evaluate new revenue sources generated from new digital business models, as opposed to analog revenue streams, to assess how the digital transformation has impacted the bottom line."
4. Overall enterprise growth rate
Given technology's critical importance in today's competitive landscape, an enterprise's position in terms of growth, profitability and shareholder value is a strong indicator of IT success, reports Steven Poniatowski, technology strategy principal director for IT advisory firm Accenture Strategy. "More tactically and internally, when the above-mentioned integrated service metrics are properly managed, one can be confident that IT is managed effectively," he says.
Many of the metrics currently used by IT are industry specific and tied to various business KPIs, observes Brian Berns, CEO of user experience software firm Knoa Software. "However, one of the most important metrics, which has gone woefully under-measured until recently, is user experience, and that cuts across all industries and lines of business," he notes. "User experience, as IT professionals are starting to realize, is directly tied to employee engagement, user productivity and overall business process efficiency, which drives the successful utilization of IT assets toward business outcomes."
Regularly examining user feedback is perhaps the best way an IT leader can determine IT's overall impact on user experience."There are other metrics we look at to check effectiveness and efficiency, but no other IT metric will matter if the users are having a bad experience," says Paul Telesco, vice president of technical services at Logicforce, a law office IT consulting firm.
6. Website and social media activity
In today's connected world, website and social media involvement provides important clues to both business and IT performance. A rise or drop in website visits, as well as a trend toward longer or shorter visits, indicates whether an enterprise's web presence is succeeding or failing. Online sales and abandoned shopping cart statistics are other critical KPIs.
IT plays an essential role in ensuring consumer websites that are innovative, informative and reliable. "All teams, global and local, should be measured by one question: 'did we make the customer happy?'," says Sujai Hajela, president and CEO of Mist, a developer of artificial intelligence-enabled Wi-Fi management software. "IT organizations need an aligned vision of success, and customer delight is the ultimate indicator of performance."
7. Mobile app downloads
App popularity, as measured by the number of downloads, upgrades and consumer feedback ratings, is a strong indicator of business and IT success. In today's mobile-focused society, app success is essential. IT's role is to ensure apps and updates that are reliable and customer engaging. "IT is a pipeline that takes in ideas and turns them into working software," says Nolan Wright, co-founder and chief product officer of Pinpoint, a company specializing in software performance and cost measurement technologies. The faster IT can act on business ideas, the faster the enterprise can innovate and respond to competitive threats and jump to new markets. "In the modern market, victory is to the swift," Wright observes.
8. Customer experience statistics
Customer scoring in areas such as the number of service requests, positive and negative online reviews and other forms of direct and indirect feedback provide a valuable indicator of how IT is helping the enterprise succeed in key business areas.
"If the business is thriving overall, it's reasonable to expect that IT is doing its part to enable those outcomes," Poniatowski says. "IT is an integral part of how a company provides the customer experience, operational capabilities and efficiencies that drive competitive agility."
"IT and business need to align to projects that have the greatest impact on customer experience," suggests Anthony Macciola, chief innovation officer at OCR and text scanning software provider ABBYY. "IT needs to understand and show how a project aligns to strategic plans/initiatives that are tied directly to customer experience," he notes. Internal operational metrics should be studied to determine how fast the organization is able to respond to customer needs and create the best possible experience. "This could be how fast a customer gets approved for a loan, on-boarding new customers or reconciling customer complaint billing issues," Macciola explains. "Enterprises need to obsess over the customer and every touch point in order to drive greater efficiency and a better experience for their customers."
9. Overall customer satisfaction indicators
It's easy to base IT success on typical metrics, such as service level agreements (SLAs), project budgets, uptime and other easily tracked methods, notes Frank DeGeorge, CTO of Impact Networking, an IT and business optimization company. "While these KPIs are important — as well as keeping track of Net Promoter Score and CSAT rating — the most important metric may also be the most difficult to measure: the satisfaction of your customers."
Reference letters and online reviews praising enterprise products and services are other important indicators of IT success. "If your end users are not your biggest fans and in turn brand ambassadors, you're not achieving your ultimate goal," DeGeorge says. In today's era of digital transformation, continuous development and security threats, IT teams are working harder than ever to deliver solutions customers want and need, delivering an experience that improves on the existing one. "The best metric is the praise that will come from your users and the employees who support those users," he observes. "What motivates IT teams is building quality work and seeing that work in action with happy users."
It's important to follow a balanced set of KPIs, Poniatowski says. "Metrics tied to rewards are motivational and useful, but to affect a digital transformation it's important to make sure all the elements of the new IT operating model (processes and tools, governance, organization, workforce and technology) have been aligned."

Santorum: Court Ruled Wrongly in Griswold v. Connecticut--the Pre-Roe 'Right to Privacy' Decision
(CNSNews.com) - Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum reaffirmed on Monday that he believes the Supreme Court decided wrongly in the 1965 case of Griswold v. Connecticut.
Griswold overturned a state law restricting contraceptives on the basis that the law violated a constitutional "right to privacy"--thus setting the stage for the 1973 Roe. v. Wade decision, which declared that abortion was a constitutional right under the same "right to privacy" rubric.
Santorum made his remarks to ABC's Jake Tapper, who had asked about the candidate's Senate-run loss in Pennsylvania to Democrat Bob Casey in 2006.
Tapper asked, "Democrats say that one of the reasons you lost that year was because you are, in their view, out of the mainstream and they talk about the Griswold v. Connecticut case--that was an issue that Casey used against you--about whether or not a state has the right to make a law against married couples using contraceptives. Is that something you're at all concerned about?
"The state has a right to do that," said Santorum. "I have never questioned that the state has a right to do that. It is not a constitutional right. The state has the right to pass whatever statues they have."
"That is the thing I have said about the activism of the Supreme Court--they are creating rights, and they should be left up to the people to decide," he added.
In the 1965 Griswold case, the Supreme Court ruled (7-2) that the Constitution, while it does not mention "privacy," nonetheless grants a "right to marital privacy" and that states therefore cannot restrict the use of contraceptives. The Connecticut law prohibiting contraceptives had been passed in 1879 and was challenged in 1961 by Estelle Griswold, then the executive director of the Planned Parenthood League of Connecticut.
Santorum said that he would not have voted for the law restricting contracptives or for a late Texas law banning same-sex sodomy that was struck down under the court's post-Griswold "right to privacy" doctrine in the 2003 Supreme Court case Lawrence v. Texas.
"I said I wouldn't have voted for that law," said Santorum. "I thought that law was an improper law, I wouldn't have voted for the Texas sodomy law. But that doesn't mean the state doesn't have the right to do that--I just didn't think they should do it."
He continued: "You shouldn't create constitutional rights when states do dumb things. Let the people decide if the states are doing dumb things get rid of the legislature and replace them as opposed to creating constitutional laws that have consequences beyond the specific case that was before them."
Santorum surged late in the Iowa caucuses, finishing second behind former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney by only 8 votes, each garnering 25 percent of the vote, Tuesday night.

NJ police officer charged in hit-and-run
WINSLOW TWP., N.J. - September 9, 2011
Washington Township (Gloucester County) police officer Kelly Gunderson, 33, of Sewell, surrendered Friday and was charged with Knowingly Leaving the Scene of a Motor Vehicle Accident Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury.
She has also agreed to surrender her driver's license.
Gunderson is accused of hitting Vance Banks, 27, of Sicklerville, on Sicklerville Road in Winslow Township around 1:00 a.m. on August 18th.
Police say Banks was on his way home from his job at the Camden County Lakeland Complex at the time of his injuries. He was found unconscious in a parking lot on the 500 block of Sicklerville Road.
He remains in critical but stable condition at Cooper Hospital in Camden.
Investigators say despite substantial damage to the passenger side of her red Honda Accord, Gunderson failed to stop to determine what she had hit. Police say she returned home and did not report a crash to police until about 3:30 p.m. Friday, about 14 hours later.
An investigation remains ongoing to determine what Gunderson's activities were prior to the incident. Gunderson was previously suspended with pay from the Washington Township Police Department. However, now that she has been charged, she has been suspended without pay.
Ofc. Gunderson began her career in the Washington Township Police Department after serving in the United States Air Force from 1990 until 1995. Ofc. Gunderson then worked as a Special Officer in the department from 2005 until 2006 and was hired full time in April 2006. She was currently assigned to the Patrol Division in the department.

In /etc/ttys, is it secure to comment out terminals I don't use, than to turn it off, and mark them "insecure"?
This is what I have, and the argument lines commented out also work without the #.
For the dialup section, ttyu0 cannot be commented out, or it won't work.
So setting it to "off" or remarking/removing the whole line would essentially be the same. Both will prevent getty(8) from running on that TTY.
So I take it that turning it off and commenting it out are equally secure.
This appears to be slightly different. If I comment this line out, the terminal and xdm won't start, but it works when set to "off" and "insecure". Perhaps this line just needs to be present, so the processes can see it. It looks the "dialup" section is not all for network logins, as login(1) is needed for logging in locally. I don't expect to use fingerd(8), and network services like that, so perhaps only the first ttyu or perhaps two are required here.
In this section, if "dcons" is marked as insecure, or commented out, I believe it won't work when you need the dcons(4) device.
If I comment this line out, the terminal and xdm won't start, but it works when set to "off" and "insecure". Perhaps this line just needs to be present, so the processes can see it.
To be honest I'm not sure how init(8) handles it. It's possible an 'off' line causes the TTY device to be created but prevents spawning a getty(8) process on it. Removing/remarking the whole line may also prevent the creation of that TTY device. Which might be causing the errors on XDM, when it tries to get a TTY device that doesn't exist.
You might want to have a look if there's a difference in existence of the devices themselves between "off" and a remarked/removed line.
It looks the "dialup" section is not all for network logins, as login(1) is needed for logging in locally. I don't expect to use fingerd(8), and network services like that, so perhaps only the first ttyu or perhaps two are required here.
The dialup section is for very traditional serial connections. Either directly connected using a dumb terminal or through ppp(8) and a receiving modem. The ttyu0 is primarily used for a serial console (useful for headless machines). It has nothing to do with network based logins like ssh(1).
The ttyv0 to ttyv8 are the 'virtual' terminals on the local console itself. The ones you can select with ALT-F1 to ALT-F8.
If ttyu0 is commented out, it doesn't work.
I've thought about it, it's better to both turn completely unused settings off and have them marked as insecure. If there is a default elsewhere, those settings should be overruled in /etc/ttys. Commenting out wouldn't achieve this.
It looks like virtual terminals except 0 don't have a default in another file. ttyu0 must have a default elsewhere, which would explain why turning it off works, while commenting it out doesn't. It should be noted, that if something is marked as "off", it still matters if is labeled as "insecure" or not. For instance, while the line "console" is marked "off", the secure setting affects whether the root password is needed for single user mode.
, but it works so far, unlike when the line starting with "ttyu0" is by itself and commented out.

When Are the Safest and Most Dangerous Times to Drive?
Over the years, countless studies and surveys have been compiled investigating the patterns that lead to the most car accidents and injuries on our roadways. Safety experts, authorities, and roadway engineers alike all benefit from such statistics, as these facts help paint a vivid picture of what the true hazards are out on the highways, allowing us all to better understand how and where we can work to prevent fatal collisions and life-changing injuries.
Out of the many studies that have been conducted on the causes behind car crashes, however, specific factors have emerged that are proven to be consistent predictors of collision. Nearly all of these factors are somehow related to dangerous driving behaviors, although others are simply tied to natural hazards, such as bad weather and the elements. Most often, though, it is a combination of these factors that ultimately leads to an increase in accident and injury incidences.
Time of day - Studies show that a host of unsafe driving behaviors tend to increase during nighttime hours, such as speeding, intoxicated driving, driving without seatbelts and other risky behaviors. Alcohol plays a role in both daytime and nighttime crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). For example, 54 percent of nighttime crashes were found to be attributed to intoxicated driving, yet during the day, impaired driving was still responsible for 18 percent of all fatal crashes.
Time of week - Tuesdays and Wednesdays have been found to present the lowest risk for accident, injury, and fatality, particularly in the morning hours. The hours between 4 and 5 a.m., although still dangerous due to intoxicated drivers, revealed the lowest crash data due to low peak traffic patterns. In comparison, weekends were reported to be the most dangerous time to be on the road, with some of the highest crash statistics due to higher volume traffic.
Weather conditions - Rain, snow, and ice are not surprisingly contributors to crash patterns, but the safest and most dangerous times to drive under these weather conditions have a lot to do with when and how the conditions unfold. For example, driving in the rain is most dangerous within the very first 10 minutes after the rainfall begins. Roads are especially slippery at this time, due to oil from vehicles mixing with the oil on the asphalt. The same idea applies to ice and snow; it is typically shortly after the first initial snowfall when roads are most dangerous, as the snow just begins to accumulate and stick.
Whether you have been involved in a fender bender due to rush hour traffic or have been seriously injured due to an intoxicated driver, it is crucial to contact a Lake County car accident attorney right away, no matter what time of day your accident took place. Call Salvi & Maher, L.L.C. for a personal consultation at 847-662-3303 and make sure your rights are protected immediately after the collision.

Nesciens mater
Jean Mouton
Jean Mouton was born near Samer in northern France. After holding various positions at churches in Nesle, Amiens, and Grenoble, he joined the chapel of the French court, serving Queen Anne of Brittany, wife of Louis XII. In 1509, Queen Anne helped him to obtain a position as canon at St. André in Grenoble, a post he held in absentia while collecting the income from a benefice conferred to him in 1510. Mouton remained in the service of the French court for the rest of his life. Mouton's surviving works include more than 100 motets, 15 masses, and over 20 chansons.
A setting of an antiphon for the Octave of the Nativity (January 1), Nesciens mater first appeared in the Medici Codex of 1518, an illuminated manuscript collection of motets. This collection was reputedly copied (by hand) under Mouton's direction as a wedding gift for Lorenzo de Medici and his young French bride. In the motet, the circumstances of Mary's role in the birth of Jesus are highlighted by a smooth, flowing eight-voice polyphony which is produced by four voices (the tenor part based on a chant melody) imitating the others at four beats' distance and a fifth higher. So strict is this quadruple canon, that only the four "leading" voices appear in the manuscript, the others being deduced from them. The result is an exquisite undulating tapestry of sonorous beauty.
Nesciens mater virgo virum peperit
bore sine dolore Salvatorem saeculorum
Ipsum regem angelorum.
sola virgo lactabat, ubere de caelo pleno.
Without knowing a man, the Virgin Mother
without pain, the eternal Savior,
Himself the King of Angels.
She alone suckled with heavenly plenty.

A holidaymaker has launched legal action against Thomas Cook after his romantic getaway was ruined when he contracted the potentially fatal disease cholera.
Tim Warner, 47, and his partner Amanda used the tour operator when they decided to book a dream 12-day break to sun-kissed Tunisia in September 2013. However the couple's £1,488 all-inclusive trip soon turned into a holiday nightmare when Tim fell ill only days after his arrival at the four-star resort.
When his symptoms failed to subside a week after he returned home Tim was taken into hospital and stunned to discover he had contracted sewage-born disease cholera.
Tim and Amanda decided they wanted to go on a sunshine break and were sold by the promise of soaring temperatures in Tunisia. The couple booked the holiday with Thomas Cook and paid total of £1,488 for the 12-day trip to the Solazur Hotel in Hammamet. However their holiday dreams were quickly shattered when they arrived at the hotel and were greeted by a strong odour of sewage.
The couple were determined to make the most of their holiday and decided to book a number of trips and tours as well as make the most of the parts of the hotel not affected by the smell.
However, only a few days into the trip Tim began to feel sick, suffering with vomiting and diarrhoea forcing him to spend most of the time in his hotel room.
When the couple returned to the UK Tim made an appointment to see the doctor as he was still feeling ill and was shocked when he was diagnosed with cholera and sent to hospital.
Tim says he complained to Thomas Cook but was unhappy when the company didn't take his complaint seriously. He has now instructed law firm Slater and Gordon to launch a civil case.
Slater and Gordon Travel Lawyer, who specialises in holiday accident & illness claims said, "This was meant to be a relaxing and romantic getaway but instead the holiday was ruined when Tim was left severely ill with a potentially life threatening illness.
Slater and Gordon Lawyers offer a free consultation for people who suffer from illness or food poisoning on holiday abroad. Call freephone 0800 916 9046 or contact us online and we'll be happy to help you.

A press release says its new hours are now 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays. It's also reducing hours so it can manage staff reductions caused by the pandemic.
LRC says it plans to resume open hours on Saturdays by the spring, depending on the circumstances.


WASP-119's star type is star that can be located in the constellation of Reticulum. The description is based on the spectral class.
WASP-119 is not part of the constellation outline but is within the borders of the constellation.
It is calculated at being 8.000 Billion Years old. This information comes from ExoPlanet.
WASP-119 has at least 1 Extrasolar Planets believed to be in orbit around the star.
The star is calculated at being about 1086.13 light years away from us.
The location of the star in the night sky is determined by the Right Ascension (R.A.) and Declination (Dec.), these are equivalent to the Longitude and Latitude on the Earth. The Right Ascension is how far expressed in time (hh:mm:ss) the star is along the celestial equator. If the R.A. is positive then its eastwards. The Declination is how far north or south the object is compared to the celestial equator and is expressed in degrees. For WASP-119, the location is 03h 43m 46.00 and -65° 11` 38.00 .
WASP-119 has a spectral type of G5. This means the star is a white to yellow star.
WASP-119 has been calculated as 1.20 times bigger than the Sun.The Sun's radius is 695,800km, therefore the star's radius is an estimated 834,960.00.km. If you need the diameter of the star, you just need to multiple the radius by 2.
The star is believed to be about 8.00 Billion years old. To put in context, the Sun is believed to be about five billion years old and the Universe is about 13.8 billion years old.
WASP-119 has an apparent magnitude of 12.20 which is how bright we see the star from Earth. Apparent Magnitude is also known as Visual Magnitude. Using the supplied Parallax value, you would get an absolute magnitude of 4.59 Magnitude, whether it be apparent/visual or absolute magnitude is measured by a number, the smaller the number, the brighter the Star is. Our own Sun is the brightest star and therefore has the lowest of all magnitudes, -26.74. A faint star will have a high number.
The Parallax of the star is given as 3.00 which gives a calculated distance to WASP-119 of 1086.13 light years from the Earth or 333.00 parsecs. It would take a spaceship travelling at the speed of light, 1086.13 years to get there. We don't have the technology or spaceship that can carry people over that distance yet.
The star is roughly 68,685,701.87 Astronomical Units from the Earth/Sun give or take a few. An Astronomical Unit is the distance between Earth and the Sun. The number of A.U. is the number of times that the star is from the Earth compared to the Sun.


They are just sooooo darned cute... even if they do threaten to nibble at my toes.
Wow...yeah, I wouldn't accomplish a danged thing either. But with all that cuteness, who would care?
I totally squealed. Nope - I'd be sitting there all day with those cuties!


Mir Sadiq Sanjrani was elected the new Senate chairman on Monday after securing 57 votes.
He was nominated by Balochistan Chief Minister Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo as a candidate for the coveted position of the Senate chairman. The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have rallied behind the nomination.
In his first press conference as an elected senator with Chief Minister Bizenjo, Sanjrani had expressed his wish to witness the appointment of a senator from his province as the chairman of the Upper House of Parliament.


The permanent bureaucracy and the "Deep State" are getting a lot of attention these days. Americans are getting an ever broader view of just how deep, deep is. If you're a member of the entrenched bureaucracy and/or a deep state operative (they come in all manner of disguise) you probably think all of this attention is bad for business; you would be correct! We now know a bit about the breadth of your unelected influence and the corruption that it engenders. Oh my, not quite so deep anymore are we?
We will, thanks to recent revelations, listen a bit more closely to conspiracy theories because well, it looks like conspiracy is the order of the day for the deep state and the establishment it supports. We will question the supposition of facts with more skepticism. We will cast a jaundiced eye at what the deep state would like to maintain is "normal." "No, no look over here," says the deep state; "not this time," we reply.
Critically we will begin to put the pieces together and see the effort against President Trump for the coup attempt that it is, and see Trump as the threat that he is to the deep state.
The recent revelations about senior FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok are the latest and perhaps the most telling example of how the deep state conspiracy works. Strzok ran the Hillary e-mail investigation, signed the order to enable the Trump/Russia collusion investigation, changed the wording in Comey's statement to the press regarding Hillary's e-mail server, conducted the interview of Hillary where no transcription was taken, as well as Cheryl Mills, who should have also been under investigation but was allowed to adopt the role of Hillary's lawyer during the interview. On the other hand General Flynn was bushwhacked just days after the inauguration. That seems like deep, multifaceted involvements all of which appear aimed at supporting Hillary and destroying Trump.
The current DOJ appears to be on board with compliance to the wishes of the deep state.
Why no reopening of the Hillary investigation, why is Uranium One Rosenstein still there, how is it that the Sessions' DOJ/FBI is on the verge of being held in contempt of congress based on stonewalling critical information requested by congressional oversight committees? It's not what we expected of General Sessions. Logical explanations don't seem to stick; it's a head shaker, unless you buy into a deep state conspiracy. When conspiracy begins to be the only explanation that makes sense we are in a bad place as a nation.
It may just be that those crazy Mountain Men sitting around complaining about the "guvment" might have been a lot closer to the truth than we cared to admit.
Trump's election represented a variety of identifiable dynamics; however it also represented an instinct about where the country was and had been for some part of the past eight years. It was an instinct that said to the establishment that it was time to halt the swing of the pendulum and send it back the other way. Before Trump the "other direction" nearly always meant a 3rd party effort doomed to failure by the will of both political parties and the system they put in place to ensure they would only have to fight with each other. This time we got Trump and Bernie; wow, that's going to leave a mark.
Trump may not have made a conscious calculus that he wasn't so much running against all of those Republicans as he was against the system they had all pledged allegiance to. People who didn't vote regularly had an instinct that it didn't matter, that the parties we're more the same than they were different and the grand ballet was a ruse to maintain power. Again, there was an instinct there that existed regardless of where you fell on the demographic scale. When you are left with the impression that the parties are first and foremost about the party with the good of the country second, it's easy to descend into apathy, which many had done. But they woke and said stop!
The deep state was having none of it. Susan Rice set up the release and declassification of previously secret information, unmasking of U.S. individuals caught up in NSA surveillance occurred at a pace previously unseen, Congress slow-walked hundreds of nominations allowing a wide variety of Obama people to either stay in positions or opt to make their status permanent. The Russian collusion meme was set in motion, General Flynn fell as its first victim and the Trump administration was caught up in a legal morass from day one. James Clapper lied to anyone willing to hear it. Leaks that should not have been possible existed on a daily basis. The Dossier became a hot button topic although no one believed it to be a substantially viable document including the main stream media; that tells you something.
The bottom line is that we are witnessing a slow motion coup d'etat courtesy of the deep state. We, at this point, can only wonder if the President can marshal the force necessary to thwart it's goals and desires. The deep state might want to consider the potential weight of a broad uprising against such unaccountable power. After all, we did elect Trump.

How Your Drive for Success Can Derail Your Life
Are you addicted to speed?
You may answer in the negative, thinking this refers to a desire to drive over the speed limit.
But many of us are addicted not to going faster in our cars but in our lives, says psychologist Stephanie Brown, an addiction specialist. We're afraid to slow down our busy, chaotic and frenzied lives that have us constantly chasing success, power and the next big thing.
"It's an addiction because people cannot stop," she says. "We want to stop and we need to stop, but we can't. We're in constant motion and action."
That may mean that you're always working, forever connected to your smartphone so you won't miss a text, e-mail or phone call. You feel rushed, out of control and overwhelmed, but you can't seem to stop the crazy hamster wheel that has become your life.
That behavior is just like an alcoholic who cannot say no to a drink, Brown says. This addiction to speed makes us unable to stay away from our jobs even though we may be suffering the physical problems associated with stress and overwork.
Relationships may be deteriorating around us, but we can't get away from our computers or that craving to be on a smartphone.
Of course, some of the problem occurs because of a sluggish economy that has driven many Americans into working longer and harder to retain their jobs. But Brown says that instead of using such difficult times as a way to look at "what we're doing," people "went to the corner to lick their wounds and wait for the next big thing.
"That just fuels this grandiose sense that life is a jackpot and we can have it all," she says.
Researchers at Kansas State University pegged "workaholism" as working 50-hour weeks, and their study showed those toiling such hours can be affected with mental and physical deterioration.
Most common is skipping meals, but such workers also show higher levels of depression.
"Our culture encourages and even demands that we do more, produce more and never stop," Brown says.
So while we would never encourage an alcoholic to be more acceptable by drinking more, we seem to believe that working more — and faster — somehow raises our value in the workplace. We even (read more here)

I'm thankful for the work I do. I have been making the hope chest for a few days now and on Saturday I have a two-day workshop so I will postpone some of the work until next week. Sharing my workspace has become increasingly important as I grow older and whether it's teaching, apprenticing or having friends in for a few hours, I'm glad to have what I have for others.
Ever since I was a boy I tried to create space for working with my hands. The advantage of hand work over machines is that a small bench and a dozen hand tools means I can create. Ever since then I have always shaped my workshops wherever I have had a home.
This cabinet is Georgian and made from hand planed quartersawn oak. Very unusual in that it had bi-fold doors with glass panels. very lovely piece to do a restoration on.
Most of them have been modest, a shed, a porch a lean-to carport, a garage or a conservatory. My workspaces, places to simply work, held my tools and my bench. These hubs began by building a workbench on my knees on the floor. One time, in the US, I made a 10′ bench 3′ wide on the living room floor. I used it for over 20 years. Benches are the third hand for hand toolists like me. Everything I have ever made came from the benches I made and everyone of them has been special to me in different ways.
Here is one of my previous workshops. Just big enough to swing a cat (not really). I enjoyed this one as much as any. A homey stone-built with a dripping stone slab roof.

Tulsidas married a girl whose name was Ratnavali. We are told that the simple couple lived at Rajapur and that their only son, Tarak, died in infancy. Tulsidas was extremely devoted to his wife.

Q: Finite elements for biharmonic equation I have a question regarding the conforming finite elements for biharmonic equation: if we want to discretize the weak formulation for this problem using a conforming finite element space $V^h$, is it possible to do it using Lagrange elements? If this is possible, what is the minimal required order of the Lagrange elements?
When I obtained the weak formulation, I noticed the function space should be $H^2$ with compact support if we are given homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. By the embedding Sobolev theorem, this means the solution should be in $C^1$ but I don't really get if we can use the Lagrangian polynomials for the discretised problem. The biharmonic equation is:
$$\Delta ^{2}\varphi =f  $$
Thanks in advance

Randy Bathurst
(April 1, 1950 — January 10, 2009)
A popular and talented Detroit-area fanartist in the 1970s, Randy Bathurst was an avid and prolific cartoonist, always sketching.
He drew art for numerous fanzines, as well as Mike Resnick's Unauthorized Autobiographies and Other Curiosities, and worked in other media, such as sculpture, as well. Randy created the bheer can cranking a mimeograph on top of the original FAAn Awards, as well as fannish chess sets. He drew the artwork for ConFusion's first t-shirt, an upside-down cartoon alien pointing downward with a word balloon saying, "Up, I hope" and the caption, "ConFusion is a Way of Life."
He hung out with both Detroit and Ann Arbor fans and belonged to the Wayne Third Foundation and the Stilyagi Air Corps.
Randy had a marvelous sense of humor and was always ready to clown. He appeared as one of four "Secret Masters of Fandom" at the ConFusion precursor, A2 Relax Icon, with Mike Glicksohn, Rusty Hevelin and Ro Nagey, all four wearing nothing but red bath towels around their waists and paper bags over their heads. On another fannish occasion, the hefty Bathurst, a a founding member of Big Fandom, flipped up his shirt to reveal painted his large stomach bright orange and lettered the word "Sunkist" above his navel. He also featured in the Larry Tucker video Big Bird Eats Moon belly bumping with Ross Pavlac. Randy helped to write the script for Larry's video Faans.
He won the costume competition and cracked up the audience at the Torcon 2 masquerade in 1974, dressed as a green dragon carrying a sign reading, "Tim Kirk unfair to dragons," and a photo of him with Glicksohn appeared in Swank magazine.
Fanzines included The Darkling & Ravage Traveling Pandemonium & Shadow Show.
His friends were all certain that Randy was headed for a successful career as a cartoonist, not to mention Hugo Awards, but he was fafiated after his marriage to a mundane woman around 1980, after which he became a florist in her family's firm, was cut off from all contact with fan friends and stopped drawing. He gave his final stfnal sketchbook to Leah Zeldes as a wedding present after she tracked him down under the pretext of needing flowers for her 1985 nuptials with Dick Smith. Fandom was shocked to learn of Randy's 2009 death in a Newsweek article about cut-rate cremations.

Legendary CIA counterspy James Jesus Angleton. Photo: Harvey Georges/AP
?Wilderness of Mirrors?
It is inconceivable that a secret arm of the government has to comply with all the overt orders of the government ?
-James Jesus Angleton
Long before?Game of Thrones?dubbed its spymaster The Spider, James Jesus Angleton earned that name. His internal witch hunts still leave people wondering?madman, genius, or both?
Angleton had been forced to resign from the Central Intelligence Agency after two decades running its counterintelligence operations. In news reports and in?outright fiction, Angleton was portrayed as amazingly eccentric and wildly paranoid, the mastermind who kept American intelligence operations safe from Soviet ?moles,? and the madman whose ?sick-think? destroyed careers and paralysed the agency with his obsessive hunt for traitors. Indeed, there were some who said he?d done so much damage that?Angleton?must be the mole.
His name became part of every enigmatic event of the 1960s, including the assassination of President John F. Kennedy?and the subsequent murder of one of his mistresses?(the ex-wife of another CIA man).
As chief of counterintelligence for the Central Intelligence Agency from the early 1950s to the early 1970s, James Jesus Angleton built a formidable reputation. Although perhaps best known for leading the agency's notorious ?Molehunt??the search for a Soviet spy believed to have infiltrated the upper levels of the American government?Angleton also played a key role in the U.S. intervention in the Italian election of 1948, in Israel's development of nuclear weapons, and in the management of the CIA's investigation of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

A Story Of A Genius
William James Sidis was a genius. He was by far the most precocious intellectual child of his generation. His death in 1944 as an undistinguished figure was made the occasion for reawakening the old wives tales about nervous breakdowns, burned out prodigies and insanity among geniuses.
Young Sidis was truly an intellectual phenomenon. His childhood achievements ranked with those of John Stuart Mill, Thomas Macaulay, and Johann Goethe. By the time William Sidis was two he could read English and, at four he was typing original work in French. At the age of five he had devised a formula whereby he could name the day of the week for any given historical date. At eight he projected a new logarithms table based on the number twelve. He entered Harvard at the age of twelve and graduated?cum laude?before he was sixteen. Mathematics was not his only forte. At this age he could speak and read fluently French, German, Russian, Greek, Latin, Armenian and Turkish. During his first year at Harvard University the boy astounded students and scientists with his theories on "Fourth Dimensional Bodies."
The "man behind the gun" in this boy's amazing intellectual attainments is supposed to have been his father, a graduate in psychology at Harvard and a close friend of William James, after whom the boy was named. Dr. Boris Sidis believed in awakening in the child of two an interest in intellectual activity and love of knowledge. If you started early enough and worked intensively, Dr. Sidis claimed that by ten a child would acquire knowledge equal to that of a college graduate. The boy?s father published articles urging other parents to follow his methods. He castigated the school authorities for their "cramming, routine and rote methods," which he said, "tend to nervous degeneracy and mental breakdown."
Sidis pointed to his son, William, as a successful example of his methods. He wrote: "At the age of twelve the boy had a fair understanding of comparative philology and mythology. He is well versed in logic, ancient history, American history and has a general insight into our politics and into the ground-work of our constitution.

Where does genius come from, and why is it often linked to mental illness?
by Cameron Slater on June 30, 2014 at 7:30am
Bit of a heavy start to a Monday morning, I'll admit. ?But interesting all the same.
I was examining the anecdotal link between creativity and mental illness, and Kurt was an excellent case study.
He was intermittently depressed, but that was only the beginning. His mother had suffered from depression and committed suicide on Mother?s Day, when Kurt was 21 and home on military leave during World War?II. His son, Mark, was originally diagnosed with schizophrenia but may actually have bipolar disorder. (Mark, who is a practicing physician, recounts his experiences in two books,?The Eden Express?and?Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So, in which he reveals that many family members struggled with psychiatric problems. ?My mother, my cousins, and my sisters weren?t doing so great,? he writes. ?We had eating disorders, co-dependency, outstanding warrants, drug and alcohol problems, dating and employment problems, and other ?issues.???)
While mental illness clearly runs in the Vonnegut family, so, I found, does creativity. Kurt?s father was a gifted architect, and his older brother Bernard was a talented physical chemist and inventor who possessed 28 patents. Mark is a writer, and both of Kurt?s daughters are visual artists.
It's one of those "you don't have to be mad to work here, but it sure helps!" kind of situations. ? Read more »
