"The Great Inversion and the Future of the American City" (Encore presentation.)
On today's ST, which originally aired earlier this year, we speak with the journalist, author, and veteran urbanologist Alan Ehrenhalt, whose books include "The United States of Ambition" and "The Lost City." Ehrenhalt's latest book, "The Great Inversion and the Future of the American City," is now out in paperback. This book argues that the roles and characteristics of America's cities and suburbs are basically changing places with one another --- younger adults and affluent retirees are moving into the city, while immigrants and the less affluent are moving out to the 'burbs. As one critic for Booklist noted of "The Great Inversion and the Future of the American City" when it was first published: "In the future, American cities could look like late-nineteenth-century Vienna, with lively, affluent metropolitan core areas and the lower classes consigned to life in peripheral suburbs. Such cities will go well beyond gentrification and involve the displacement of the poor in inner-city areas by the wealthy, according to urbanologist Ehrenhalt. He details how the trend toward such cities is already apparent in Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, Houston, and other metropolitan areas. Drawing on census data and economic research, he examines the factors behind the trend, including mass transit, retail and housing development in downtown locations, and the declining appeal of long commutes to distant suburbs. Ehrenhalt also offers detailed portraits of the future of suburban sprawl in areas struggling to re-create the appeal of cities by developing more accessible commercial zones. This is an engaging look at demographic changes that promise a very different future for cities and suburbs."

As soon as Apple announced the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro, the countdown started for the 13-inch version. Well, here it is. A slim, trim, portable little MacBook with a gorgeous retina screen and a gut-punch cost. And another reminder that sometimes wonderful things don't live up to their price tag.
Why It Matters
The 13-inch MacBook Pro has been the most popular Apple laptop for some time now, and rightly so. It just feels like exactly the right size, without the premium pricing for the anorexic thinness of the MacBook Air. Plus, it can handle heavier loads. And now it's got a gorgeous new retina screen.
But hold on. Slapping a retina screen on the Apple's most popular laptop is a recipe to sell a zillion laptops, sure, but the 13-inch MBP also has some Cialis-level performance issues that can't be glossed over with just an SSD and a bunch of pixels.
So why does it matter? Because a whole lot of people think this will be the exact right laptop for them, and there's some evidence that maybe it isn't quite.
Apple MacBook Air Laptop
Powerful performance
The M1 chip delivers 3.5x faster performance than the previous generation all while using way less power. Get up to 18 hours of battery life.
Using It
As soon as you turn on the 13-inch retina MacBook Pro, its retina screen will ruin every other laptop screen for you. It's gorgeous. Everything—icons, text, even menu interfaces and notifications—absolutely everything looks like it got a full-body manicure from a rotary saw. Text, especially, is pristine.
If you haven't used a Retina MacBook Pro 15 before, you might end up confused. There are lots of pixels, right? So why isn't everything very, very tiny? In its default (Apple calls it "best") settings, the retina screen is tuned to scale to the same workspace size as a 1280x800 display of the regular 13-inch MacBook. That means for every "pixel", there are four actual pixels powering the display You can also select from four different scaled sizes, if you want to take advantage of the magnitude of pixels in the retina screen.
The Retina 13 still feels more like the Pro than the Air—especially when it comes to looks. It's a good bit thicker than a 13-inch Air, but also a tiny bit smaller than the previous Pro. The difference isn't as dramatic as it was for the 15-inch retina, though, so you don't get the sense of this being a radical new thing as much as an intermediary between the incumbent 13-inch Pro and Air.
To test graphics performance, we rendered the same video project—a small, random video file with some heavy effects added—on four separate machines. The Retina MacBook Pro 13, the Retina MacBook Pro 15, an older-but-souped-up Mac Pro, and a 2012 MacBook Air 11-inch. The results (full specs as tested below) were telling.
The older Mac Pro was the slowest, finishing each render just above 2 minutes. The Air was next, coming in just over a minute (1:05 average). That's where it gets interesting. The Retina 13 was just a few seconds ahead (54 seconds exactly, all five times), and the Retina 15 was 34 seconds. That's what you would expect going in, more or less, but with the Retina 13 costing $850 more than the tested Air, and just $200 less than the Retina 15, those gaps in performance are concerning.
Gaming was much the same. Running Diablo 3 at native resolution with effects on high was playable, sort of, but fps was consistently falling under 30. Things improved at lower settings (1866x1166 fixed most of the video lag), but to be clear, in no uncertain terms: You do not want this to be the computer you play games on if you care about gaming.
The build is a goddamn idealized MacBook. And there's a reason that most other laptop makers have been trying, with various degrees of success, to catch up with Apple's aesthetic for the past several years. It's not just the screen, though that's the central, wonderful part of it. It's the sum of many advanced parts—from the compressed unibody design to the still-awesome keyboard and trackpad to the blazing fast SSD. This is how computers should be.
No Like
The guts-based, pixel-chewing performance simply doesn't measure up. It's not just the graphics performance being too similar to a MacBook Air, or the minor but perceptible systemwide slowdown when you use a higher resolution setting. It's the way that you have to throttle back your expectations of what your laptop can crank out, the way you would while using a limited ultrabook. And for a lot of people, that's just unacceptable from a computer pushing three grand.
This Is Weird
The color, though, was a little off in hi-res photos. Out of the box it was displaying a little too dark, and colors were too deep and saturated. Messing with color calibration cleared it up, but it's a definite annoyance in a machine aimed so squarely at visual professionals.
Test Notes
- Here are the specs of the machines used in our render test: Retina 15: 2.3GHz Quad Core Ivy Bridge Core i7, 16GB 1600Mhz DDR3 RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory, 251GB SSD, 122.47GB free, OS X 10.8.2; Retina 13: 2.9GHz Dual Core Ivy Bridge Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 4000 768 MB, OS X 10.8.2; MacBook Air 11: 2GHz Dual Core Ivy Bridge Core i7, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM, Intel HD Graphics 4000 512MB, OS X 10.8.2; Mac Pro: (Early 2008) 2x 2.8GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon, 34GB 667MHz DDR2 RAM, ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB, OS X 10.7.4
- Battery life in our gravel-chewing battery test (60 percent brightness, 20 Chrome tabs, half of which self-refresh, last one is a 100-hour Nyancat YouTube video) was 3 hours 15 minutes, which is a good number compared to 13-inch ultrabooks.
- Sound from the laptop's speakers was fuller than what you'll get from a small laptop most of the time, but it's got an echo to it that seems to be more prevalent while listening to dialogue than music.
- I use favicons as my Chrome bookmarks, and within minutes I'd started despising sites that still haven't updated to retina. Little things like that, or pixelated website logos or images, will take you out of your retina euphoria.
- If you've never used a MacBook before, the chiclet keyboard is extremely comfortable to type on (and remains slightly different form the Air keyboard, despite the smaller imprint), and the trackpad is still the best on any laptop.
Should You Buy This
This is probably the best 13-inch laptop you can buy right now, for all the good it'll do you. Sure, this computer makes some sense for a photographer or designer, but the 15-inch Retina offers almost all of the same benefits, plus a lot more if you can stomach a little less portability and a fractionally higher cost. Here's the thing about the 13-inch MBP's price: It would make sense if the 15-inch retina MBP weren't so much better. But it is. And for literally the exact same price as a moderately upgraded 13-inch (2.9GHz dual core i7, 256GB SSD), you can get a 15-inch rMBP with near-identical-but-also-way-better specs (2.3GHz quad core i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, GT 650M discrete graphics card). At the cost of some portability. That's it.
Or you could go with a Zenbook Prime, which has a drop dead gorgeous 1080p screen for two thirds the price and a lot of the performance (and also some trackpad issues, but hey!). Not to mention that the Air is due for a refresh on its displays soon. Maybe resolutions won't be doubled, as Apple has been doing, but if not retina, they'll be 1080p at least. The point is, the rMBP 13 is wonderful, but it's not that much more wonderful than everything else. And certainly not as sky-high as its price would indicate.
All of which is to say, there are better, or just more sensible options either out now, or just off the horizon. So unless you've got an extra grand to blow on a screen upgrade for a MacBook Air, it's probably prudent to hold off on this for now.

Mary Archer had been held up twice before at the Arby's restaurant in Fairborn, Ohio, where she was the manager on duty, her daughter said. She came away unscathed both times.
But after the third robbery Friday, when a man with a knife entered the store and demanded the assistant manager turn over the restaurant's money, her boss fired her.
"I just never thought that this would happen to me, especially since my life was at stake," she told CNN affiliate WHIO.
Archer was terminated for staying at the restaurant by herself, "long after hours," which is in violation of Arby's franchise security policy, said John Gray, vice-president of corporate communications for Arby's Restaurant Group, Inc.
The store location where she worked is a franchise that is not corporate-owned, he said.
Archer was not injured in the attempted robbery, even though she got into an altercation with the knife-wielding intruder.
"I had pushed him away," she said, "because I'm like, I'm not going to die in Arby's tonight. I'm just not."
She screamed for help through the drive-through window, then jumped out of it to get away from the man, who fled. Someone heard Archer and called police.
Later, Archer signed a document her supervisor handed her, stating that she had violated security policy.
It was the end of her employment. January would have marked 23 years with the company, she said.
She crumpled up the security notice out of frustration.
"She had been warned in the past and had received a written warning that if she did it again she would be terminated," Gray explained, saying that the policy was to preserve employee safety.
Archer said she was at the restaurant late, because she was closing up shop. Then she heard someone at the door. It was the man with the knife.
"We have no alarms, no cameras," she said. "That should have been nipped in the bud that very first attempt."
Archer's daughter told WHIO the store had been robbed three times in the past six months and that her mother had been on duty each time.
"I don't want my job back," Archer said.
She is happy to be alive.
"I don't want my job back" Nobody offered to give you your job back, did they? Another dumb American on the welfare lines...koodos to Arbys for firing this theif and liar! Vote Mitt Romney!!!
If its in the hood I'm sure everyone knows they don't have cameras or alarms so the robbers keep coming... As for the lady she is crazy for being there alone way after hours and not securing the facility if she's staying late.
Boycott Arby's if the woman isn't rehired!
Why boycott Arby's? She was warned before including a letter telling her she would be terminated if she did it again. Her fault. As Manager she should have known and followed the rules. Who's to say she hadn't done it more often and/or had her employees stay late by themselves putting her Employees at risk? Don't feel sorry for her. In 23 years you think she would understand that one simple rule. A LOT of late and 24 hour stores carry the same policy. And it's for a reason.
Who wants to be responsible if this woman gets hurt or even killed because she can't follow the rules. She should be fired.
I very much agree with you Spidey... At first glance, I was thinking she was fired unfairly. However, if one reads the full article, one will find that she has been in violation multiple times of security protocal and warned in the past that if she violated the policy she would be terminated. I'm tired of everyone wanting to boycott businesses everytime a business does something that is not agreeable by a group. I do however agree with one statement in the article. After the first robbery, there should have been additional security ramped up at this resteraunt i.e. cameras... Otherwise, I think the resteraunt is in the right to terminate her.
If she was there after hours, alone... why weren't the doors locked? Also, after two other robberies, if I continued to insist on being in the store after hours by myself, I'd have armed myself (of course, I do anyway, but that's beside the point). There has got to be something we're not being told here.
It's hip to fight companies even if boycotting your local arbies does absolutely nothing, seeing as how this wasn't a corporate-owned location!
Sue Arby's for not providing a save working environment.
Had she followed the rules designed to keep her safe, nothing would have happened, as she would have been home safe and sound.
As a manager she may have duties that she has to do after hours and if she kept and employee over for protection the owners would have likely fired her and if she did not get her work done the would have fired her. Most employees are put in an untenable position and have to break rules to comply with owners wish lists. Where I work they use MOL laws to punish workers without regards for fairness, managers that break the same MOL laws are givin a pass while we get time off without pay due to management lack of skills or ability to manage. Workers always pay!
Typical corporate America......they put these so-called rules in place, in this case, for the "safety" of the employee. But corporate america turns a blind eye when their workers are working overtime to get their jobs done. We in the management field refer to this as "casual overtime" and the companies cover their asses by stating that overtime is not required but damn you if you are not there working before and after the normal hours to get the jobs done!! Its a set up to fail, because, especially with her position, there is not physical way to get all you need to get done within your allotted time frame of workable paid hours. The owners expect that you are there working under the radar. They only gave her that warning to cover their own legal requirements, knowing full well that she was working past her daily scheduled time. Its a roll of the dice for both parties concerned, but she's the one taking the hit for it. She's a hard worker, and a responsible worker, not a rule breaker. Those of you who actually work for a living know that NO JOB can be done within your scheduled time! I'd hire her in a second.....she is a rare breed, old school, and the Arby's franchise just lost one of their best employees!

It is good that she is alive. A boycott of Arby's isnt necessary...they already suck and should be closing down soon
Inside job.
Jumbo jumped out of a drive thru window? I don't think so.
I liked the part where she derisively said "I'm not dying at ARBY'S tonight." Oh, so now you're above that huh? Strange how she was an assistant manager probably making $15/hr max and is 40+ years old.
When you get hired at a company like that you get given a rulebook or at least access to one. It was her job to know the rules being an assistant manager. She broke the rules, she's fired.
I said nearly the same thing...that I wasn't going to die in front of my apartment building after a night class.....when I was confronted with a guy in the bushes who meant to harm me. So yes, she might have said that to herself.
I'll be sure to bring a pistol if I ever visit an Arby's resaurant.

Ada Lovelace Day 2011: Dr. Marian C. Diamond
For Ada Lovelace Day this year, I want to share my appreciation for Dr. Marian C. Diamond.
In years past, I've saluted women in the field of computing, which is my field as well. Dr. Diamond, however, is a biologist. Her research includes "neuroanatomy, environment, immune functions, and hormones. In particular, she is interested in studying the effects of the external environment, aging, and immune responses on the cerebral neocortex." She has, in her words, had a love affair with the brain for about 70 years.
I know very little about biology. The content and methods of her research are, frankly, beyond me, though some of her results have garnered popular attention. She has inspired me by demonstrating that rare combination of gifts: a deep understanding of a technical subject, and the ability to explain it to other people in an accessible way.
In her interviews, articles and lectures, many of which are available online, Dr. Diamond displays these gifts in abundance. Her skill and enthusiasm for both learning and teaching is unmistakable. After applying her gifts in the classroom for many years, digital distribution has now enabled many more people to see and hear her, through millions of YouTube views.
In 1960, she became the first female graduate student in UC Berkeley's anatomy department, and was apparently given the job of sewing a cover for a magnifying machine. I can only imagine the persistence required to continue from there to become a recognized leader in her field. She has gone on to help many other students along their way, and was named an "unsung, everyday hero" for the support she provided to students outside of the classroom or lab.
As if that weren't enough, she has also traveled to Cambodia to apply her expertise in helping children injured by land mines. She still teaches today, just across the bay from where I write this, and will turn 85 next month.

J. William Cliburn, Professor Emeritus of Biology at the University of Southern Mississippi, was an adjunct professor at William Carey University for thirteen years. Dr. Cliburn obtained his Masters of Arts degree from the University of Southern Mississippi where he developed his thesis, Distribution and variation of water snakes of the genus Natrix in the state of Mississippi and adjacent Louisiana and Geology. He then obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Alabama where he continued his research on the genus, Natrix. His dissertation was entitled, The phylogeny and zoology of North American Natrix.
Professor Cliburn spent almost sixty years teaching in high school and college while continuing field research in herpetology and botany throughout Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mexico. He directed research for approximately 30 master degree students and 30 doctoral degree students, and published approximately 50 reviewed papers, 15 non-reviewed systematic keys and laboratory manuals, and 125 technical reports.
In addition, Dr. Cliburn acted as an environmental consultant in the area of rare and threatened biota for twenty-five years (1980-2005).
Dr. Cliburn photographed herps for years and built a personal collection of slides. He graciously made these pictures of reptiles and amphibians available to William Carey University for this website. Dr. Cliburn requested that these be available for web site viewers and only asks that any users of these pictures give him photography credit.

Statement by H.E. Dian Triansyah Djani, Ambassador/Permanent Representative of Indonesia at the 9th Session of the UPR Working Group – Review of the United States of America
Mr. President,
My delegation would like to welcome the delegation of the United States and thank its members for their comprehensive report.
My delegation notes positively the US UPR national report, touching on the US government's commitment to freedom, equality and dignity, freedom of expression, association and political participation. Indonesia commends the fact that such obligations are enshrined in the US constitution.
Furthermore, Indonesia also welcomes United States' engagement in the Council.
Mr. President,
Indonesia continues to believe that all member states, including the US, need to make every effort to promote and protect human rights, be it civil and political as well as economic, social and cultural rights, in a balanced manner. Equally important is the need to promote religious and cultural tolerance and understanding. In this regard, we recommend that the US continue to create an enabling climate for such tolerance and understanding at the grass roots level.
In the spirit of dialogue and cooperation, and in view of the US contribution to the development of human rights norms and standards since the early years of the United Nations, my delegation wishes to submit the following recommendations:
- We note that the US is a party to the ICCPR but continues to have reservations on a number of its articles. We would therefore recommend that it consider lifting these reservations.
- Similarly, the US has been a signatory of CEDAW since 1980, of the ICESCR since 1977, and CRC since 1995. These are important Conventions whose scope and effectiveness are greatly enhanced by ratification. We therefore recommend that the US ratify CEDAW, ICESCR, and CRC in token of its commitment to their implementation worldwide. We also recommend that the US also become Party to other international human rights conventions as reffered to in the OHCHR report.
To conclude, Indonesia continues to believe that an emphasis to genuine dialogue and cooperation in advancing the cause of human rights, will certainly yield to tangible results and ensure constructive follow-up and implementation
Thank you.
Geneva, 5 November 2010

The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine was originally approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006, and was introduced to the public as a vaccine that could protect women against the two strains of the HPV virus, HPV 16 and HPV 18, believed to be responsible for 70% of all cases of cervical cancer.1
However, although the HPV vaccine was originally designed to protect women and young girls against the HPV virus, the media and governments from around the world often refer to it as the 'cervical cancer vaccine,' which we believe is incorrect, because, according to our research, there is little evidence to support their claim.2

Pedometers 101
Counting individual steps may seem like a silly way to get some exercise but every little bit helps. Using a pedometer can be a fabulous motivational tool to get you to move more; use our tips and get stepping!
A pedometer is a pocket-sized device that senses movement and registers each step you take. Some units require a belt loop attachment while others can be carried in your pocket or worn around your neck. Some models may also have settings to estimate calories burned while walking, but these are often inaccurate unless there is an option to adjust for additional details like weight, age and gender.
Pedometers range in price from $6.00 to more than $30.00 - the higher pricing is typically associated with extra features like distance tracking and calorie counting. Smartphone lovers will be pleased to know that there are quite a few pedometer apps - many of which are free or less than $3.00. Using the GPS already loaded in a Smartphone, many offer accurate distance tracking for less than a hand-held pedometer. Arawella Pedometer and Pedometer Pro GPS as well as Palm Shadow Footsteps Pedometer all carry high ratings.
Many fitness-centric wrist watches also come with built-in pedometers and heart rate monitors (more about heart rate monitors in an upcoming post).
Since everyone walks a little differently, it's a good idea to calibrate your pedometer so you can estimate how much distance you've covered. First, start by taking a small number of steps (10 for example) to make sure you and the pedometer are on the same page. Then move on to figuring out how many steps it takes you to travel a greater distance.
Map out a route in your neighborhood or visit a local track so you know that the distance you're covering is equal to one mile. Reset the pedometer, walk the mile, and see how many steps it counts – now you'll know how many steps equal one mile for you no matter where you are.
• 10,000 steps a day is a good goal to work towards – this is the amount found to help reduce your risk of chronic disease.
• 12,000 to 15,000 steps a day is associated with successful weight loss.
• Make it a healthy competition – challenge a friend or a co-worker to see who takes more steps.
• Keep a daily log and see how many miles you cover in a week, then try to top it the next week.
• Periodically increase your speed or add some hills to your routine to give your cardiovascular system a workout.

Doc Rivers returns to Boston as coach of Clippers
Boston plays Los Angeles Wednesday
The building will be familiar, the bench not so much.
Doc Rivers, coach of the Los Angeles Clippers, will be at TD Garden on Wednesday night, this time working from the visitors' bench. It will be his first visit since May 3, the last game of his stay with the Boston Celtics.
"It will be very nice for me," Rivers said. "I put nine years in there, nine wonderful years. So that'll be really cool."
He led the Celtics to their 17th NBA championship in 2007-2008 when they compiled a 66-16 record, and to the seventh game of the 2010 NBA finals. He had a 416-305 regular-season record as coach of the Celtics and took them to the playoffs seven times.
They were eliminated in the first round of last season's playoffs by the New York Knicks, losing the deciding sixth game at home 88-80. Afterward, Rivers, who had three years left on his contract with the Celtics, wouldn't commit to returning.
"Honestly, I just can't even think about that right now. So I don't know," he said. "I need to just detox, and we'll find that out."
Rivers was reluctant to be part of a rebuilding project with the Celtics, and on June 25 was traded to the Clippers for a 2015 first-round draft pick.
He has the Clippers in first place in the Pacific Division. His successor, Brad Stevens, has led the Celtics to the top of a weak Atlantic Division even though they have a losing record.
Rivers coached the Celtics to the championship in their first season after Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen joined Paul Pierce. Allen left as a free agent for Miami before last season, and Garnett and Pierce were traded before this season to the Brooklyn Nets, who hosted the Celtics on Tuesday night for the first time in the regular season. The Nets play for the first time in Boston this season on Jan. 26.
The Celtics' makeover has been so thorough that only seven of their 14 players were on the team that Rivers coached last season. And one of the holdovers, point guard Rajon Rondo, hasn't played all season while recovering from ligament surgery on his left knee.
But Rivers expects to see some familiar faces.
"The security guard, Don, who meets me at the door every time I come in," he said. "It'll be really nice for me. I made some great friends there, friends for life, and it will be good to see them."

RIS and PXE requirements
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
RIS and PXE requirements
Remote Installation Services (RIS) supports remote installations of Windows Server 2003 operating systems. This means that you can initiate RIS-based installations remotely on a computer without being physically present at the computer. RIS eliminates the need to use either the operating system CD or a floppy disk containing a Winnt.sif file. For more information, see Enabling Emergency Management Services during a new installation.
- RIS support is available on both x86 and Itanium-based systems.
For remote installations to be possible, the client computers must have a network adapter that is Pre-Boot eXecution Environment (PXE) capable. You can then perform installations using a network connection on systems without CD-ROM drives and on systems that have non-formatted or non-partitioned hard disks.
The firmware should recognize the PXE-capable network adapter as a valid boot device and as part of the boot order selection. In addition, the firmware should provide the option of using the F12 key to initiate a remote boot using a keystroke, thus circumventing the boot order. You can use this ability to change the boot order to implement emergency recovery procedures if necessary.
The Startrom.com file is the first file that an x86-based RIS client downloads to begin the boot process. There are multiple versions of this file. Based on the PXE capabilities of your firmware, you can use Emergency Management Services-specific versions of Startrom.com to make use of console redirection for x86-based RIS clients. The Boot Information Negotiation Layer service (BINLSVC) creates an answer file that allows the rest of Setup to run without user input. Itanium-based RIS clients do not use Startrom.com, however. Instead, you can configure the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) to redirect output, and then use the PXE-capable network adapter to boot the computer.
Although you can use the Startrom.com files with systems that are not designed to work with Emergency Management Services, it is better to rely on the firmware to redirect its console output to the out-of-band management port and to use a standard Startrom.com file. This allows Startrom.com to be more flexible in its use of baud rates.
Hdlscom1.com and Hdlscom2.com. For systems that do not support firmware console redirection, these files display the Press F12 for network boot prompt, using console redirection to serial port 1 or 2. Users can either press F12 to proceed with the boot process, or they can exit the boot process by not pressing F12. If a user presses the F12 key when prompted, Hdlscom1.com and Hdlscom2.com cause the PXE client to boot into the Client Installation Wizard only when the basic input/output system (BIOS) attempts a network boot. These files are installed by default with RIS.
Hdlscom1.n12 and Hdlscom2.n12. For systems that support firmware console redirection, these files do not display the Press F12 for network boot prompt and do not wait for user input. When you use one of these files, the PXE client will always boot into the Client Installation Wizard when the BIOS attempts a network boot.
All Emergency Management Services-specific versions of Startrom.com rely on the BIOS to redirect their output to the out-of-band management port and to the video card, if one is attached. Emergency Management Services is available with or without a video card.
To use a Hdlscomx.com or Hdlscomxn12 file, you must first rename it to Startrom.com, and then copy it to the BINLSVC server. By default, these files are located in the ServerName\reminst\oschooser\i386 folder, where ServerName is the name of the RIS server running the BINLSVC.
Client Installation Wizard
The Client Installation Wizard automatically directs its entire user interface through the out-of-band port and a local console if one is attached to the computer. The Client Installation Wizard determines which out-of-band port to use by either reading the Serial Port Console Redirection (SPCR) table (if available) or by using the same port as Startrom.com. For more information, see Enabling the SPCR table.
For more information about RIS, see Remote Installation Services.

The Lord Jesus Christ and The Divine Trinity
The Teachings of Swedenborg
The Lord Jesus Christ and The Divine Trinity
by Philip N. Odhner
The One Infinite God.
Swedenborg teaches that there is one Infinite Supreme Being who created the universe and all things in it out of His Divine Love and Wisdom.
The human mind can see that God is infinite. For if God were finite, or limited, there would have to be something that made Him finite and limited. And in that case that thing which made Him finite and limited would be the real source and origin of all things, and thus would be the real God. So also the human mind can see that God is eternal. For if God were not eternal, then He had a beginning in time. And if He had a beginning in time, then there was something previous to Him from which He had origin, and that previously existing thing would be God.
Because God is infinite and eternal He is one. There cannot be two infinite Beings. If there were two or more supposedly infinite Beings, one would limit and finite the other, and thus neither would be infinite. To think or speak of two or more infinite Beings is a contradiction in itself. Such an idea cannot enter the understanding of man.
That the one infinite God is Wisdom can be seen by man from a view of the starry heavens, in which the suns and planets can be seen held in a wonderful order. It can be seen also from a view of anything in nature in its smallest parts. For the microscope reveals the most wonderful order in the least things of creation, even as the telescope reveals such an order in the greatest things.
God is Love. This can be acknowledged by man from the fact that the order existing in the created universe bespeaks a Divine Purpose therein. And especially can it be seen that God is Love in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who showed forth the most perfect love for the eternal salvation of the whole human race.
The Divine Purpose in Creation.
God is Love and Wisdom. In all that He does His Love and His Wisdom are present. Everything that exists is therefore part of His Purpose in creation. But what is the Divine Purpose in creation? Can this be expressed in a way that the human mind can grasp? Swedenborg teaches as follows: "There are two things that make the Essence of God. Love and Wisdom; but there are three things that make the essence of His Love: to others outside of Himself, to will to be one with them, and to bless them from Himself. . . . These things of the Divine Love were the cause of the creation of the universe, and are the cause of its conservation." (The True Christian Religion, 43, 46.)
It is the nature of love to love others outside of self, to will to be conjoined with them in love, and to make them happy. This is evident in all true human relationships. It is preeminently true of God. In Him is all life, all love and all wisdom. His will therefore is to create others outside of Himself whom He can bless with the gift of His Life, His Love, His Wisdom. His will is to give to others that which is in Him. This is the cause of all creation.
But God, being infinite, cannot create another infinite Being, or another God or gods, to receive His Love and Wisdom. It is impossible for there to be two or more infinite Beings. If there were a God from God, that God from God would either have to be not infinite and not eternal, and thus not a real God, or He would have to be infinite and eternal and thus absolutely one with the first God. For God to create and love another God would thus be God loving Himself in Himself. And this is contrary to the essence of God, which is to love others outside Himself.
God could not create others who have life and love and wisdom in themselves, but He could create finite beings who could be formed into vessels of His Life and Love and Wisdom. For this reason God first created the physical universe. Out of His own Love and Wisdom, which are the origins of all life and motion, He made the physical universe and the dead and inert matters therein. Some idea of how God so created the physical universe out of His Love and Wisdom can be gathered from the discoveries of modern science, in which it is seen that the dead and inert matters of the earth are in fact composed of things in the highest motion.
Out of the dead and fixed things of nature God formed vessels which can receive His Life. These vessels are men, the human race. These vessels God gifts with liberty and rationality, so that they can if they will receive understanding from God in ever increasing measure, and by the perfection of their lives receive the Love of God in ever increasing measure. These vessels can become images and likenesses of God. In such images and likenesses of God the Divine Purpose of creation can find its fulfillment, for such beings can receive God's love and wisdom freely, can feel them to be their own, and can freely return the love of God. Between the infinite God and such beings there can be eternal conjunction. In this way a true and everlasting relationship can be established between God and those created by Him outside of Himself. But because God's Love is infinite therefore He looks to an eternal increase of those who can receive His life, and out of them He forms for Himself an eternal Heaven in an eternal world, which is the Spiritual World. In this Heaven those who have become images and likenesses of God advance forever in the understanding and love of God and their neighbours.
Consider carefully the Divine Purpose of creation here set forth. It means that God's Purpose in creating you is to make you an image and likeness of Himself, to make you an angel of heaven, to give you into eternity an increasing understanding of Him and an increasing love of what is good and true from Him. That is His interest and concern with you and with everyone in the human race.
Consider whether there can be any other cause of creation, or any other reason for your existence? Have you heard of any other explanation that is in agreement with the Scriptures and with the dictates of your own reason concerning God?
The Advent of the Lord into the World.
Swedenborg teaches that mankind in their first state of creation were as children, innocent and obedient. From the influx of the Love of God into their minds they were able to perceive the truths concerning God in all things of creation. They loved God and they loved their neighbour. This is the state of mankind that is described in the Bible as the Paradise of Eden.
But as the knowledge and the natural understanding of mankind increased they began to feel and believe that they could lead themselves in all matters of faith and wisdom. They began to believe that they were good and wise, and denied the truth that they were only vessels of good and of wisdom from God. This is represented in the Scriptures by the eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Because of this disorder men fell from their state of love and wisdom. More and more they removed themselves from the influx of God into their souls and minds. Finally the human race came into a state in which the Divine Purpose of creation was threatened and the human race itself was threatened with spiritual destruction.
Because of the removal of man from his first state of reception of the Love of God, it was necessary that a new kind of conjunction between God and man should be established. This was accomplished by the coming of God the Creator into the world.
In the Scriptures of the Old Testament, which were Divinely inspired and given to men by God during man's gradual decline from his first state, it is foretold and promised many times that He who created the world would come into the world to redeem and save mankind.
We here quote a few such places from the Old Testament:
"For thus saith the Lord (Jehovah) that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain. . . . He formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord (Jehovah) and there is none else." (Isaiah 45:18.)
"Behold the Lord God (Lord Jehovih) will come with a strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him." (Isaiah 40:10.)
"Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for lo, I come and will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord (Jehovah). (Zechar. 2:10.)
"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord (Jehovah), that I will raise up unto David a just Branch . . . and this is His Name whereby He shall be called, THE LORD (Jehovah) OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." (Jeremiah 23:5,6.)
"And all flesh shall know that I Jehovah am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob." (Isaiah 49:26.)
"For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand in the latter day upon the earth." (Job 19:25.)
"Let Israel hope in Jehovah … He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities." (Ps. 130:7,8.)
"Yet I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt . . . and thou shalt know no other God but me; for there is no Saviour beside me." (Hosea 13:4.)
From these passages it is clear that the Old Testament teaches that there is one God, who is called Jehovah God, and that this God calls Himself the Saviour and the Redeemer, as well as the Creator. But now consider the following passages from the Old Testament, which foretell the Coming of the Creator into the world, and which clearly refer to the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ:
"The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord (the way of Jehovah), make straight in the desert a highway for our God." (Isaiah 40:3.) It is said in the New Testament that this is a prophecy of John the Baptist, who prepared the way for the Lord Jesus Christ. Here, in the Old Testament, the one for whom John prepared the way is called Jehovah and "our God."
"Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call His Name Immanuel." (Isaiah 7:14.) This prophecy is quoted in Matthew with reference to the birth of the Lord, and it is there added about the name Immanuel, "which being interpreted is, God with us." (Matt. 1:23.) Here therefore the Lord is called God with us, in both the Old and the New Testaments.
"Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us: this is the Lord (this is Jehovah) ; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation." (Isaiah 25:9.)
"Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6.)
From the above passages from the Old Testament it is clear that the one infinite and eternal God, Jehovah God, the Creator of the universe, promised that He would come into the world, and that this promise refers to the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Swedenborg in his works shows not only that the Old Testament prophesies the coming of the Creator into the world, but also that the New Testament teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ is that Creator come into the world. This is taught in John, as follows:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (or, God was the Word.) The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made . . . And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." (John 1:1-3, 14.)
How the Incarnation of God Took Place.
But how did God come into the world, and what did He do here that brings about the Redemption and salvation of the human race and makes possible again the conjunction of mankind with Him in the reception of His Love and Wisdom?
Swedenborg teaches that God came into the world by taking on a human body by means of birth from the virgin Mary. Consider what is said in the New Testament concerning the conception of the Lord Jesus Christ:
"And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the Power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore also that Holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." (Luke 1:35.)
This teaching can mean nothing else than that the one Infinite God was Himself the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Lord had no human father, as do all other human beings, but the infinite and eternal God was His Father. This means that the Lord had that in Him which was infinite and eternal, that which was life in itself. But because the Infinite cannot be divided as can the finite, this also means that God Himself was in Jesus Christ.
In the Lord Jesus Christ when He was first born into the world there were two distinct natures: that which He derived from Ilis Father, which was infinite and Divine, and that which He derived from Mary, which was merely human and which had within it the heredity of the human race.
Because the Lord had with Him that heredity from Mary He had with Him that which was mortal and vulnerable. In the heredity from Mary was the heriditary evil of the human race. He thus took on Himself the sins and iniquities of us all, and in His life in the world He overcame those evils in Himself. In that maternal heredity, which Swedenborg calls the maternal human of the Lord, the Lord met and conquered the evils which had taken possession of human minds and bodies. Through that maternal human the hells could attack His Divine Love for the salvation of the human race, and in it the Lord from His Divine soul met and conquered that attack.
Swedenborg teaches that two things took place by the incarnation of the Divine in the Lord Jesus Christ. First, the evil of the human race, hell itself, was subjugated by the Lord. The second thing was that the Lord during His life in the world reordered that human mind and body which He assumed through Mary, and conjoined and at length united it to His own Divine soul which He had from conception. This is what is called the Lord's glorification. Through His glorification the Lord put off what He had derived from Mary and put on a new Human, the Divine Human, from His own Divine soul. Thus He made His Human Divine, and the Divine Human in Himself. Even as to the Human He became Life itself, Love itself and Wisdom itself.
As to His very soul, and also as to those things of His mind and body which the Lord had made one with the Divine, Jesus Christ was altogether one with the Father. As to those things of His human which had not yet been made Divine, He was as another person. This is why the Lord sometimes spoke of Himself as one with His Father, and at other times spoke as if the Father were another than Himself. But at His Resurrection the process of the glorification of His Human was complete, and then He was altogether one with the Father as to person and essence.
This may be illustrated in the following diagrams:
The Lord in His Human made Divine (D) is not another person than the Father, or another infinite and eternal God, but is the Father Himself clothed with the Human made Divine.
The Lord's soul was Divine from conception. It was the Father in Him. And this is why the Lord taught that the Father was in Him. As the Lord glorified His Human, so that Human also was made Divine, and this is why the Lord says that He is one with the Father.
The one infinite and eternal God, now clothed in His Divine Human, is the Lord Jesus Christ glorified. He is God made Man, and Man made God. And in His Divine Human He has power over all things in heaven and on earth, as the Lord Himself says in Matthew:
"All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." (Matt. 28:18.)
In the Divine Human the one infinite and eternal God has so embodied and accommodated His Divine Love and Wisdom that He may be seen and approached by man in man's fallen state. In His Divine Human He can inflow into our minds and influence us in the love of what is good and true in spite of the heriditary corruption of our nature. And in the Divine Human we can if we are willing come to the idea of God in a truly rational human form. Thus through His incarnation we can see Him and understand Him and love Him in a way that is far superior to anything that ever existed previous to His Advent into the world. For in His Divine Human the Lord is seeable, approachable, able to be understood and loved.
These things God has done out of His infinite Mercy and Love for the human race, to make possible again His Divine Purpose with men, that He might bless them with eternal life and be conjoined with them in Love.
These things are meant by this in John:
"No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him." (John 1:18.)
The Fruit or result of the Advent and Glorification of the Lord may be illustrated in the following diagrams:
1. A represents the Love and Wisdom of the one Infinite God flowing into men.B is the interior mind of man, into which the Lord could inflow before the fall.C. is the conscious or external mind of man into which the Lord also inflowed through the interior mind with those before the fall.2. After the fall of man the interior mind was blocked up with evils, and the influx of God into man was obstructed.3. A here represents the infinite Love and Wisdom clothed in the Divine Human. By means of this accommodation God can inflow directly into the conscious mind of man and enlighten it with truth and affect it with good. Through this man receives from the Lord the ability to fight against and remove the evils obstructing the interiors of his mind.
The Divine Trinity.
The New Testament speaks of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Many have understood this to mean that God is in three Divine Persons, each of whom is infinite and eternal, and each of whom is God and Lord. But the New Testament does not speak of Persons in God at all, much less of three Divine Persons existing from eternity.
It is admitted by many that the question of how three persons make one God is past all human understanding. And because of this mystery many people do not think deeply about God, believing that their minds are not capable of entering into such thought.
What does Swedenborg teach concerning the Divine Trinity?
From what has gone before in this lecture it can be seen that the Father, the one infinite and eternal God, is not one Divine Person and the Son another Divine Person. but that they are one. as soul and body are one. The Son. the Divine Human, is the Divine Body, and the Father is the Divine Soul in that Divine Bodv. Even as the soul and body of a man are not two people, but one person, so the Father and the Son, the Divine and the Divine Human of the Lord are one Divine Person.
But what then of the Holy Spirit?
Swedenborg teaches that the Holy Spirit is the Lord's own Divine Spirit going forth from Him to men and angels. It is the Divine Love and Wisdom proceeding out of the Divine Human of the Lord to work the regeneration and salvation of mankind. This can be seen perfectly represented in the Gospel of .John:
"And when He had said this. He breathed on them and said. Receive ye the Holy Spirit." (John 20:22)
This was said after the Lord's Resurrection. The Holy Spirit is there represented as the Breath of the Lord. His Breath is His Divine Truth going forth from Himself to men. Swedenborg calls this the Divine Proceeding, or, the Divine Operation.
That the Holy Spirit is the Divine proceeding from the glorified Human of the Lord is also taught in these passages from the New Testament: "But this He spake of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified." (John 7:39.) The original Greek reads "The Holy Spirit was not yet, because that Jesus was not yet glorified."
"It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you." (John 16:7.)
After the Lord was glorified, that is, after His Human was made Divine, the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, which leads men into all truth, could come to men, because through the Divine Human the Divine Good and Truth can inflow into our minds.
The conclusion therefore is that the Divine Trinity is not a Trinity of Persons, but that it is a Trinity of essentials in the one Divine Person, our Lord Jesus Christ. The Father is the Divine itself, present in Him as the Soul. The Son is the Divine Human, which is the Body of that Divine Soul, and the Holy Spirit is the Divine Operation, the Divine Good and Truth proceeding from God to men.
This is taught also by Paul, in these words concerning the Lord:
"For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." (Col. 2:9.)
If you see God as one Divine Person, one Divine Man, and the Trinity in Him as Soul, Body and Proceeding, you will have an understandable idea of God and of the Divine Trinity in Him. This teaching is that which is given in the Old Testament and in the New Testament. It is the Supreme Truth concerning the Lord.
This truth may be summarized thus: That the Lord Jesus Christ is the one God of heaven and earth, that He is Jehovah, the Lord from eternity, that He is the Creator from eternity, that He is the Redeemer in time, that He is the regenerator into eternity, and thus that He is at the same time the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
The Lord Jesus Christ is our God. There is no other. To Him we owe all that is good and all that is true. All power in heaven and on earth is His. To Him alone should we pray. To Him alone should be our worship, our love, and the service of our lives.

County OKs $3 million for immediate HCC needs
By Julia Merchant • Staff Writer
Haywood Community College is finally on track to receive some much needed funding after county commissioners announced plans this week to allocate $3 million to the school.
Commissioner Mary Ann Enloe called the decision "long overdue."
"That college is one of the best assets this county has. It's past time to help them with their needs," Enloe said.
The proposed funding is in line with the commissioner's conclusion at their January budget planning session that the college was to be a top funding priority for the year. However, the commissioners were forced to seek a less-traditional route to obtain the funds so they could immediately assist HCC.
County leaders initially hoped to fund college needs with a local half-cent sales tax, if approved by the public in a countywide bond vote. Such a tax would first need approval from the state, however, and was blocked by then-Sen. Keith Presnell, R-Burnsville, in the last session of the General Assembly.

Another bill for the sales tax option has been introduced by Sen. Joe Sam Queen, D-Waynesville, who defeated Presnell last fall. Rather than waiting for the bill's outcome, commissioners decided to provide some funding now for more dire building repairs. The county gives the college $500,000 annually for building upkeep — but decided to front the college six years worth of these installments all at once by taking out a loan.)
"The county is moving forward to give us some funding up front so that we can begin addressing some of our most pressing needs," Haywood Community College President Rose Johnson said.
"We will immediately begin renovating facilities so that we can provide more adequate classroom space and potentially (use the funds to commission) architectural drawings for the things that we need."
Commissioners worried that the run-down condition of some of the buildings could exacerbate deterioration, causing repair costs to rise the longer the college was forced to wait.
A drop in a bucket
The $3 million allotted by the county will help HCC, but there is still a long way to go as Johnson and her colleagues "have projected renovations and construction needs of about $30 million or more."
The college is currently in the process of completing a campus-wide master plan that will list what buildings need to be renovated first, which ones would be designated for demolition, and what new ones the school hopes to build, Johnson said.
The master plan will be unveiled at the board of trustees meeting in July.
As for now, Johnson said she is pleased that commissioners are using a "progressive method" to address the school's immediate needs.
