Dogface Puffer - Arothron nigropunctatus
The Dogface Puffer also known as Arothron Dogface Puffer, Blackspotted Puffer is indeed a great addition to the fish only aquarium. The Dogface Puffer It is a medium maintenance fish. It may sometimes act semi-aggressively toward other fish. Its flesh is poisonous and it is not advisable for human consumption. The Dogface Puffer eats invertebrates for one specific reason, as it needs to keep its teeth worndown.
The Dogface Puffer fish is a saltwater species that are found in an area stretching from the area south of Japan to east Africa and south Wales. Adult specimens are usually aggressive. The Dogface Puffer is not suitable to be kept in a reef aquarium with small species, as it will predate such species. The Dogface Puffer fishes are reef safe. And usually, they don�t cause any damage to corals.
The Dogface Puffer fish is suitable for an aquarist who is at least moderately experienced . It is usually not advisable to keep two dogface puffer fish together in the same aquarium owing to their aggression. They are highly territorial specific and keeping several specimens most likely requires an aquarium of at least 6000 L / 1500 gallon. Such a large aquarium is definitely needed in order to ensure the safety of the Dogface Puffer.
It is not advisable to keep two specimens in a small aquarium, as it leads to the death of both the puffers. In case of a smaller aquarium, the decoration can play a large role in ensuring the safety of both the puffers. But it is advisable to keep them in separate aquarium.
Due to poor water quality or the aquarium setup, the Dogface Puffer fish can sometimes be hard to feed. They are usually easy to feed once they start eating and can be kept on a diet of shrimp, squid, marine fish, clams, crabs and other meaty marine food. No information is available about breeding this species in aquariums.

Men are notoriously hard to buy for. Not any more! No matter what he's into we've found the perfect gifts for men he most definitely won't be donating to Oxfam!
It's no urban myth that we tend to dread looking for that perfect present for the men in our lives, so we've put together our handy guide to the dos and don'ts to bear in mind when buying gifts for men.
Gifts For Men Dos:
Do try and give him something he wouldn't buy himself
When buying gifts for men experience gifts, or luxurious treats that he might not fork out for himself are always a good idea. Let's face it, it'll hardly be on top of his list to run out and book helicopter flying lessons for himself!.
Do opt for the classic gift option
His favourite book or album in a specialised format (an anniversary edition or vinyl) always make a great gift for him, and he'll appreciate that you put thought and care in giving him something he'll always remember.
Do remember that its okay to play it safe
If you know that he'll love something, don't be afraid to play it safe. If he loves sport, buy him a gift of tickets to see his favourite team; if he's a movie buff get him that box set he keeps meaning to get. Even you're not exactly filled with joy at the thought of spending all day in a field/ watching re-runs of Top Gear, he'll love it so your job is done.
Do keep it simple
We don't mean simple as in buying him a pair of socks- more that you don't have to spend hours making a handmade birthday card to show you care. It's the thought that counts and if you stick to what you know he'll like (you'll most likely have an in depth knowledge of this) chances are he'll be very happy.
Do stay away from gifts for him that you think might be a bad idea
Chances are, your instinct's will be spot on.
Gifts for Men Don'ts:
Don't give him anything with an obvious monetary value
Never, ever give cash!. Not only is it supremely impersonal, it shows a distinct lack of imagination. Plus do you really want him to know the exact monetary worth that you put on him?.
Don't give him anything his Mother would buy him (unless you are his mother!)
For obvious reasons!
Don't get him something you wish he would wear/use
In other words, don't buy him a gift that you think might encourage him to change. It may seem like a bright idea, but there's a good chance it could backfire and you don't want to get a bad rep for what we're sure are your super gift buying skills. The best gifts for him are gifts that he (rather than you!) likes.
Don't over think it
If you're feeling super stressed about it, trust your instincts and go with what you know he'll enjoy. Choosing a gift for him should be a pleasure, not a chore.

Take a look at the quick video below!
- Blue Eye Liner (Jason Wu) - Don't over do it, but a pop of the color on the eyes is a great way to spice up a natural look. One line paired with black or brown looks beautiful or placed right on the bottom lash line. Try Mehron Detailz Pen if you prefer a liquid liner or Stila Cosmetics Smudgestick Waterproof Eye Liner. Both waterproof!
- Coral Lip (Oscar de la Renta) - I love this! Minimal makeup with a bold lip can take you very far. If Coral is not your thing, try a red orange or pink. Also you can apply a bold color and blot with a tissue to give you a stained look.
- No Makeup, Makeup (Proenza Schouler) - Only apply foundation where you need it or BB cream, a little mascara, and basic grooming of the brows will give you this 'I have perfect skin' look. Perfect for running errands!
- No Makeup, Makeup w/ Blush (Rag & Bone) - If you like the No Makeup, Makeup look but desire some color. Add another coat of mascara and a simple product like FACE atelier Façade to your cheeks. This gel blush is easy to use and dries down to a natural finish.

Date published
A main concern of the United Nations system continued to be the strengthening of system-wide security policies and infrastructures. CEB, through its High-Level Committee on Management, endorsed the new unified security management system. It reiterated its view that security, a prerequisite for programme delivery, is a core responsibility of Member States and should be funded centrally under the United Nations regular budget.
Ensuring the safety and security of the United Nations system staff and reducing the vulnerability of its personnel deployed across the world, particularly those in conflict or highly insecure areas, remain key concerns of CEB.
The United Nations system is unique in the range and coverage of its structures and mandates and in the diversity of the means of action that are at its disposal. These characteristics can be a unique source of strength in addressing the increasingly complex and interrelated challenges that the international community is facing.
The Board reviewed the financing of the United Nations security management system and the pending agreement on the cost-sharing formula for the system. The Board noted that the only outstanding matter in that regard was the concurrence of the World Bank on the formula on the basis of further information to be provided by the United Nations. CEB expected a full agreement would be forthcoming on that important issue shortly.
CEB reviewed the general security environment in which the staff of the United Nations system were currently operating and the nature and relevance of emerging threats. The Board issued a statement expressing serious concern over the recent number of violent attacks against humanitarian workers and United Nations staff operating in various regions of the world. It called upon all Member States to renew their commitment to the protection of humanitarian workers and to ensure safe and unhindered access to all people in need, in keeping with international law and humanitarian principles.
The 2007/08 reporting period marked several important events that have contributed to the continuous efforts of the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) to further coordination and cooperation among United Nations system organizations on a wide range of programme, management and operational issues. The increasingly vocal calls from the international community for a more effective, coherent and better performing United Nations elevated the Chief Executives Board to new prominence in intergovernmental debates.
The Board expressed serious concern over the increasing safety and security risks faced by United Nations personnel in many parts of the world. Following the release of the report of the Independent Panel on Safety and Security of United Nations Personnel and Premises Worldwide in June 2008, the Secretary-General requested the High-level Committee on Management to undertake a detailed review of the recommendations contained in the Panel's report and to prepare actionable recommendations and options for a more effective United Nations system-wide security management system.
Global financial and economic crisis; Second United Nations Decade for the Eradication of Poverty (2008-2017); Climate change; United Nations development system working together; Working together in crisis and post-crisis countries; Security and safety of staff; Business practices
CEB has emphasized the need to concretize the discussions and deliberations on the United Nations system's ability to protect its staff — national, international and non-staff personnel — with the lessons learned from the earthquake in Haiti. Furthermore, it has stressed the need to adequately compensate staff and/or their families in the event of service-incurred injuries, illness or death, resulting from both malicious acts and natural events.
In the face of a rapidly changing world and rising global vulnerability, the United Nations system needs to have in place the most flexible and efficient management systems possible to continue to deliver on its mandates. CEB, through its High-level Committee on Management, has therefore, during the reporting period, continued its work to develop a more effective United Nations security management system in the context of serious emerging challenges to security and safety.
System-wide coherence; Enhancing the contribution of the United Nations system to the Economic and Social Council; Second United Nations Decade for the Eradication of Poverty (2008-2017); Science and technology; Support to staff in emergency situations; Human resources; International Public Sector Accounting Standards; Financial management; Procurement; Information and communications technology; Collaboration with the Joint Inspection Unit.
United Nations system response to the global financial and economic crisis; Supporting progress towards the Millennium Development Goals; Climate change; Security and safety of staff; Harmonization of business practices; United Nations development system working together; Working together in crisis, post-crisis and transition countries;
During the reporting period, there was a major achievement with regard to the security and safety of staff. As of 1 January 2011 the Security Phase System was replaced by an improved Security Level System. The launch of the Security Level System resulted from the effort led by the High-level Committee on Management, in close coordination with the United Nations Department of Safety and Security, to redesign the United Nations Security Management System.
Harmonization of business practices; Security and safety of staff; International Public Sector Accounting Standards.
During 2010/11, the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) intensified its efforts to align the strengths and expertise of its member organizations to respond to the mandates of Member States in a coordinated and effective manner. The adoption by the General Assembly of its resolution 64/289 has been an important directive for the United Nations system in further strengthening the coherence of its system-wide efforts, as detailed in the present report.
CEB attaches highest importance to the issue of staff safety and security. Through the High-level Committee on Management and under the leadership of the Department of Safety and Security of the United Nations Secretariat, CEB has continued to make consistent progress on issues relating to staff safety and security with the active engagement by all members of the Inter-Agency Security Management Network. As of 1 January 2011, the new security level system has been operational.
Harmonization and simplification of business practices; International Public Sector Accounting Standards; Safety and security of staff.
Responding to the call for improved harmonization in human resources (resolution 62/208, para. 121; and resolution 64/289, para. 45), the High-level Committee on Management launched a pilot project on harmonization of the recruitment process in the field. This project is expected to streamline processes and improve mobility for national and general service staff, and also responds to calls for action in the area of human resources from the lessons learned from the "Delivering as one" pilots.
The High-level Committee on Management strategic plan for 2013-2016 identifies harmonization and simplification of business practices as a core activity of the Committee. In this context, the plan focuses on common and shared services, improved common procurement practices, and other initiatives to improve efficiency and effectiveness of the United Nations system.

In this context, the plan focuses on common and shared services, improved common procurement practices, and other initiatives to improve efficiency and effectiveness of the United Nations system.
The Executive Group on Security was established by the Chief Executives Board to facilitate the rapid decision making capacity of the Under-Secretary General for Safety and Security when an impasse, exigencies or life and limb are at stake preventing the ability of the Designated Official or the Security Management Team to address developing or critical events that require a timely security decision.
The Programme Criticality Framework is a mandatory component of the UN Security Management System (UNSMS) which is used to determine the criticality of all activities carried out by UN personnel in environments of heightened security risk.
The Inter-Agency Security Management Network (IASMN) meets twice a year to review existing and proposed policies and resources related to the UN security management system and makes recommendations on these to the High Level Committee on Management.
A new Security Level System was developed to assess risk through a structured process based on threats (deliberate human causes) and hazards(harmful natural or man-made accidental events) which are examined and weighted to arrive at an appropriate security level.
In 2008 the Independent Panel on Safety and Security of UN Personnel and Premises Worldwide, led by Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, reviewed the safety conditions of UN system staff operating in challenging security environments.

The "Sphinx of Delft": Rediscovering Vermeer at The Frick Collection
Vermeer's Bankruptcy
Vermeer's Works
The Dissius Sale
Relative Obscurity
Frick and Vermeer
Particularly beloved among the paintings at The Frick Collection are its three works by Johannes Vermeer (1632– 1675), Officer and Laughing Girl (left), Mistress and Maid (center), and Girl Interrupted at Her Music (right). These rare canvases
were purchased by Henry Clay Frick before his death in 1919. This summer, the
institution offers visitors their first opportunity in nearly ten years to
examine the paintings together on one wall beginning on June 3, 2008.
Their presentation in the
South Hall is accompanied by a panel that traces Frick's interest in
the artist and places him in the context of other early American
collectors of Vermeer's work. An education program involving Colin B.
Bailey, Associate Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator, is planned
for September. The summer Members' Magazine features an illuminating
essay on the market for Vermeer's paintings, written by Esmée Quodbach ("The Sphinx of Delft": Rediscovering Vermeer at The Frick Collection is also available online). Quodbach is the Assistant to the Director of the Center for the History of
Collecting in America.

What this page is about
This page is intended to list out some small jobs that, if completed, would help KStars become better and more usable. There are both easy ones and hard ones.
If you are interested in contributing to KStars, but don't know where to start, this is probably the best place.
Keeping track of Development
The best way to keep track of Development in KStars is to use the mailing list: [email protected] See The List Information Page to subscribe.
If you prefer IRC, we hang out on #kde-edu on irc.freenode.org
We keep track of bugs and wishlists on The KDE bugzilla
Please do not hesitate to ask if you need help with contributing! We're always looking out for contributors and will be happy to help you out.
The Tasks
1. Complete the Sky Calendar
There's an unfinished tool out there in Tools -> Sky Calendar, that looks like just a bunch of curved lines strewn over some weird shaped region with a bunch of months labeled. As you can clearly see, that tool requires labels for those lines and a lot of love. Here's the commit that started the tool which describes the author's vision for the tool. It's now unmaintained, and it would be nice if someone could add those labels that those lines really deserve and make this tool a complete usable thing.
2. Debug the Conjunction tool
The Conjunction tool, for some reason, doesn't seem to be predicting solar eclipses correctly. There are some bugs on our bugzilla related to this as well. It would be useful if the Conjunction tool were made completely bug-free
3. Fix the angular distance ruler crash
There's an irritating crash condition on our bugzilla where trying to measure angular distances hangs KStars under some conditions. The backtrace is right there. It will be useful if this is fixed.
4. Fix all those translation bugs
Now, this is a big task.
SkyObject classes (see skyobject.h under kstars/skyobjects) should have some standard way of storing names. Currently, some SkyObjects store untranslated names and some store translated names, leading to a big mess. SkyObject should probably store untranslated name strings internally, and return untranslated names upon calling name(). The objectNames() hashes should ideally have untranslated names as well.
So how do we find by translated name? The best way, probably is to have a "reverse translation hash". Since very few objects have translated names, it might be easy to maintain a global hash of translated names vs. untranslated names in some convenient place (probably as a static member of SkyComposite) and do searches for translated names through this.
Implementing this will fix a whole lot of translation-related bugs that are on our bugzilla, and make life for people who use localized versions easier.
5. Generalize JupiterMoons, SaturnMoons
This was originally a GSoC idea, but I thought it was a bit too "small" for a whole summer. The idea is to implement a class that handles moons of planets in the solar system in KStars.
Currently, we have JupiterMoons and SaturnMoons (thanks, Vipul!) classes. What should be done now, is to pack all the machinery that goes into these two classes into one generic class (probably called 'SolarSystemMoons'), various instances of which, could represent the moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Mars...
All our class would need to do, to assume the form of say, JupiterMoons, would be to read off data corresponding to JupiterMoons from some file, say "solarsystemmoons.dat"!
Now, the next question...
6. Generalize the Jupiter's Moons Tool
See Tools -> Jupiter's Moons. What if I could do this in general with SolarSystemMoons? [See earlier task for details]
7. Comets that looks like comets!
Comets in KStars are currently drawn as dull green circles (at least in the default color scheme). That's not what they look like, in reality!
The machinery required to estimate nucleus and coma sizes, and tail lengths of comets are all there in KSComet and KSPlanetBase. What needs to be done, is to provide a proper representation of a comet based on these data on the Sky Map.
Remember that a comet's tail points away from the Sun! You can use this to fix the direction of the tail - so you have all information required to draw the comet.
Re-implement CometsComponent::draw() to draw better comets.
8. Fix those inconsistencies with comets
Jeamy Lee, a KStars user and contributor, notices that our Sun-Comet distances are wrong! This makes all calculated parameters come out incorrectly. Find his mail with some details here.
The aim of this task is to compare some more data against other software, step through the code, and find out where we are going wrong. You could use Jeamy's MPC Reader site to download the latest comet elements in KStars' format.
9. Merge NGC data from the SAC catalog
The Saguaro Astronomy Club catalog* is an amazing catalog with a lot of deep-sky objects within the reach of amateur astronomers. It has data for most (all?) of the NGC objects, but not for all IC objects. Our current NGC/IC catalog which you can find in data/ngcic.dat is far from accurate, but has data for all NGC/IC objects. Merging the SAC catalog and KStars' NGC/IC catalog would help a lot of our users.
[*We have obtained permission to use it with KStars]
Ideas are welcome!
If you are a user of KStars and have some cool, simple ideas that would make your experience with KStars better, you are welcome to add them to the list above, or discuss them on the kstars-devel mailing list (or post them as wishlists / bug reports on the bugzilla).

Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith proved susceptible to double-moves in his first game as the replacement for Lardarius Webb, who's out for the season with a torn left anterior cruciate ligament.
Texans wide receiver Kevin Walter exploited that shortcoming in Smith's game, catching four passes for 74 yards and one touchdown during a 43-13 victory over the Ravens on Sunday at Reliant Stadium.
"They double-moved me quite a few times," Smith said. "Anytime they got separation, it was a double-move. There were some ups and downs. A corner has to maintain his focus the whole game."
Smith finished with four tackles, but deflected no passes.
"Jimmy played well, except for the double moves," said Harbaugh, who praised nickel back Corey Graham. "He did a nice job, but you can't get beat on double moves. He knows that.
"That's going to be his issue going forward. You have to try to find a way to cover those stop routes, but still be on top of the deep routes."
Texans quarterback Matt Schaub threw two touchdown passes, wasn't intercepted, completing 23 of 37 passes for 256 yards for a 100.7 quarterback rating.
The Texans had 420 yards of total offense and 27 first downs.
"It's beyond embarrassing," Smith said. "I'm embarrassed, of coure. Our team is embarrassed. We've got to chalk it up and go back to the drawing board.
"I, 100 percent, believe in our team. Just because we laid an egg, doesn't mean we're going to lose the next time. We're still the Baltimore Ravens."

2006-07: In his second season with the U. of Minnesota (WCHA), Ryan Stoa tallied 12 goals and as many assists in 41 appearances, along with a personal best 44 penalty minutes. On top of winning the WCHA title, he competed with the US National U20 Team, where he tallied a goal and two points in seven games at the WJC, and took home a Bronze Medal for his efforts.
2007-08: After appearing in only two games, recording a goal and an assist in the process, Stoa suffered a season-ending knee injury on Oct. 13 against Michigan. He was named team captain for the University of Minnesota entering the 2008-09 season.
2008-09: The University of Minnesota captain netted a career-high 24 goals, including four short-handers (1-out-of-5 in NCAA), and 46 points (led club and WCHA) in 36 games this season. His 76 penalty minutes were another personal best and he was named to the WCHA All-Star Team and a First-Team All-American for his play this season. He was also named as the club's MVP and won its Leadership and Sportsmanship Award. He played alongside Jordan Schroeder (VAN) and Jay Barriball (STL). He'll be with Lake Erie (AHL) next season for his first look at professional hockey.
2009-10: Stoa made his NHL debut in December and was called up four times by the Avalanche, appearing in 12 games, in his first pro season. Averaging just over 11 minutes of ice time, he scored 2 goals with 1 assist and was -3 with the Avalanche. He played in one playoff game and had 2 PMs. In 54 games with Lake Erie (AHL), he scored 23 goals with 17 assists and was -4 with 42 PMs. Ten of his 23 goals were scored on the power play.
2010-11: Stoa split the season between Lake Erie and Colorado – opening the season in the AHL before joining the Avalanche in January. Stoa played in 25 games with Colorado; scoring 2 goals with 2 assists with a -4 plus/minus and 20 PMs – averaging 13 minutes of ice time. In 48 AHL games with Lake Erie he scored 16 goals with 17 assists and was +5 with 55 PMs. In seven playoff games with the Monsters he scored 1 goal and was -2 with 4 PMs.
2011-12: Stoa spent his entire third pro season in the AHL after seeing NHL time with the Avalanche the two previous seasons. He was the third-leading scorer for Avalanche affiliate Lake Erie; scoring 16 goals with 20 assists and finishing minus-six with 65 penalty minutes in 75 games. Lake Erie just missed the playoffs; finishing third in then North Division. Stoa signed a free agent contract with the Capitals in July, 2012.
Talent Analysis
Stoa is a power forward with prototypical size and a heavy shot. The big, bruising forward can play both center and left wing and is at his most dangerous around the net. A great finisher, Stoa has been plagued by inconsistent play at the pro level.

210,000-square-foot, two-story building is the home students studying fields such as cosmetology, car mechanics and welding
The new $44 million Manatee Technical Institute opened for the first time Tuesday.
"It's so beautiful, it takes your breath away," the institute's director, Mary Cantrell, said as students returned to finish the fall term.
The 210,000-square-foot, two-story building is the home for mostly adult students who are studying fields such as cosmetology, car mechanics and welding.
The project, paid for by $4.5 million from a state Department of Education grant and the rest from a local sales tax, has been in the works since 2004. A groundbreaking ceremony took place in March 2011.
About 1,000 students are studying on the campus at 6305 State Road 70 East, which also houses a restaurant run by aspiring chefs that is open to the public.
The classes were previously held on the west campus, a facility that was built in 1963 and had infrastructure problems over the years. The west campus complex was roughly the same size but had 30 portable classrooms.
"Here everything is designed the way it should be," said Cantrell of the new building, which has terrazzo floors, a sloped ceiling and the vibe of a mall setting.
An open house is scheduled for Feb. 14 at 3 p.m.

Michigan breezes past VCU press in 78-53 win
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Michigan made Havoc look helpless.
Mitch McGary had 21 points and 14 rebounds, and the fourth-seeded Wolverines breezed through Virginia Commonwealth's vaunted pressure with a clinical performance Saturday, beating the fifth-seeded Rams 78-53 to advance to the NCAA round of 16 for the first time since 1994.
VCU (27-9) was relentless in a 46-point rout of Akron on Thursday night, but the Rams met their match against Michigan's cool-headed backcourt. Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. rarely looked rattled against VCU, and although Michigan (28-7) committed 12 turnovers, the Rams couldn't turn many of them into quick scoring opportunities.
McGary, a 6-foot-10 freshman, set season highs in scoring and rebounding. VCU had no answer for him around the basket, and when the Rams couldn't create easy baskets with their pressure defense -- they call it "Havoc" -- they were finished.
The 71-point swing by VCU -- from a 46-point win to a 25-point loss -- was the largest in NCAA tournament history, according to STATS. In 1968, Houston beat Texas Christian 103-68, then lost to UCLA 101-69 for a 67-point swing.
McGary made his first seven shots from the field. Burke scored 18 points, and Hardaway and Glenn Robinson III added 14 each.
Juvonte Reddic scored 16 points for VCU.
Michigan led 38-23 at halftime. Burke turned the ball over five times in the first 5:51 of the second half, but even then the Rams couldn't rally.
A dunk and a layup by McGary had VCU calling timeout with the score 49-33 -- and then Michigan found a bit of a groove from beyond the arc.
Spike Albrecht made a 3-pointer and found Robinson with a slick pass for a dunk in transition. A 3-pointer by Burke made it 57-35.
Hardaway made a 3-pointer to push the lead to 23 and added an acrobatic reverse dunk to make it 64-38.
The Rams entered the day forcing an average of 19.9 turnovers per game, the most in the nation. Michigan was only committing 9.2 per game, the fewest in the nation.
In a matchup of strength against strength, the Wolverines won easily. They started by letting Hardaway bring the ball up while VCU denied Burke. Occasionally, Burke would have enough space to dribble up the court himself, and Michigan also picked the press apart on occasion with smart passing.
The Rams didn't help themselves by shooting 30 percent from the field in the first half. It's harder for VCU to set up its press when the Rams aren't scoring.
Michigan was only 3 of 12 from 3-point range before halftime, but the Wolverines still opened a sizeable margin. A 3-pointer by Hardaway put Michigan ahead 30-19, and Burke made it a 15-point game when he hit from the perimeter after McGary flattened Briante Weber with a pick.
Burke drove toward the basket and lobbed to Robinson for an alley-oop dunk that made it 38-21.

A staple as California's first drive-thru hamburger stand, IN-N-OUT has over 150 locations and has one of the highest customer loyalties in the fast food industry.

Dec. 2 (UPI) -- The cast and crew of the forthcoming Fast and the Furious 7 are facing a production delay in the wake of Paul Walker's death.
While the movie won't be cancelled entirely, reports claim that staffers will be taking a long break given that everyone involved is "too distraught to work, anyway."
Walker, 40, was set to reprise his role as Brian O'Conner in the seventh installment of The Fast and the Furious Franchise. The cast and crew were on break over thanksgiving weekend, but were set to continue shooting Monday.
Walker, died Saturday in a fiery car crash in Santa Clarita, Calif. According to the Los Angeles coroner, the actor's body was so baldy burned after the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT struck a light pole that it was unidentifiable at the crime scene. Both Walker and the driver, his friend Roger Rodas, were pronounced dead at the scene. Their autopsies will be delayed until the end of the week when both sets of dental records are obtained.
It has been said that a substantial amount of the film has already been shot, but both Walker and other cast members needed to complete additional scenes.
Sources claim that many cast members, including Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson, won't consider returning to the set any time soon.
"No one wants to even think about the movie. Period," said the source.
The film's director James Wan tweeted about his own struggles with the news upon learning about the incident Sunday.
I am so beyond heartbroken right now. I can't process anything.— James Wan (@creepypuppet) December 1, 2013
No announcements have been made regarding a possible rewrite, change in release date, recasting, or digital face replacement to deal with Walker's death.

Berkman still running at half speed
ANAHEIM -- Rangers veteran Lance Berkman, on the disabled list with inflammation in his left hip, continues to progress in batting practice but is still not full strength in his running to the point where he's ready to go out on a medical-rehabilitation assignment.
"It's been OK, but I still have to be able to run and it's still not quite there yet," Berkman said. "I can run half-speed, but I've got to be able to do more than that."
Berkman has been taking batting practice regularly on the road trip. Not only is he dealing with the hip problem but also chronic soreness in his right knee that gives him as much trouble at the plate as anything. He was hoping that he would be ready for a rehab assignment by now and be activated on the next home stand. But that is still up in the air.
"You can't demand your body to heal at a quick rate," Berkman said. "You want to get out there as quick as you can. Not being 100 percent ready to go out on a rehab assignment right now is not what I was hoping for but it's not entirely unexpected."
The Rangers are off on Thursday before playing the Astros on Friday night. Berkman will try running before that game to get a better gauge of where he's at physically.

UnNews:Documentary proof of rejected 13th Apostle discovered
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
3 June 2010
SAFED, Israel -- Recent discoveries at an archaeological site 3 kilometers outside of this ancient Hebrew city bolster the argument for the existence of an apocryphal thirteenth near-Apostle of Jesus called Shouting Thomas.
This fere Apostolus or "almost-Apostle" picked up his nickname due to his annoying tendency to shout almost constantly. Sadly, the reason for this, his near-complete deafness, was not discovered until after Jesus and the other apostle Thomas tricked him into moving to Damascus "for the weather; find a nice place and we'll be along when you're settled." [1]
His constant shouting made Thomas the thirteenth and most annoying member of Jesus' entourage, and most likely held him back from promotion to full Apostleship. Like Mary Magdelene, who for centuries was thought to be a low-class prostitute, Shouting Thomas suffered in reputation, and is only discussed on the day of the Feast of Shouting Thomas. On this day, Catholics regale one another with the escapades, hi-jinx, and faux passes supposedly committed by the near-saint.
The writings, found at a secret dig, have been dated to the late first century, and document Thomas's travels from Nazareth to Jerusalem. Full translation of the find awaits the arrival of additional experts, as it seems to be written in Braille.

Interested in Language
Would greatly appreciate any feedback from native speakers on my Summary section of social network profile.
I'm a Project Manager with more than 10 years experience in Project Management and over 15 years working experience in Telecom industry. I've worn many hats in my career and I know how things are done at various organizational levels.
Have you ever been delivering complex technical projects without facing any impediments, glitches, mishaps? I bet you haven't. Neither have I. I came across some of them when I had been helping my company's client, the nations leading mobile operator, to deploy IP network across hundreds of cities and towns. Thus we have enabled the client to launch a new business and become countrys No. 1 service provider.
In recent years, I've managed a broad range of technical projects of different size and complexity and I've learned some lessons which I'm ready to share.
Thanks in advance!
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
Hi emsr2d2,
Thanks for helping me out with this!
May I ask you to comment on? Was I completely wrong when used PPC considering the context?Have you ever been deliveringdelivered complex technical projects
I wasn't really sure if it is appropriate to ask for something more than grammar checks here. So, suggestions on style and wording, if any, are welcome ;)
"I would greatly appreciate any feedback"
"and become the country's No.1 service provider"
(I'm not a teacher or a native English speaker. I'm just trying to help...)
Peter, thanks!
Again, I'm not a teacher or a native English speaker.
But here's another:
"I would greatly appreciate any feedback from native speakers on the Summary section of my social network profile."
That sounds better.
Many foreigners keep forgetting to use articles in English or use them where they're not needed, because they don't have them in their own language, like Russian.
Articles are small words, but important ones!
And yes, you were wrong to use the Present Past Continuous, because we are looking at a fact that has been done, not the action of delivering.
"I have been delivering" means: over a certain period of time, probably several times. You are looking at a process (continuous)
"I have delivered" means: you're looking at the fact of delivering.
As I said, I'm not a teacher, so I can only hope that you understand what I wrote.
Perhaps there are other, more qualified people here to explain this more adequately.
(I'm not a teacher or a native English speaker. I'm just trying to help...)

Turning on the car radio yesterday, I chanced on the end of a Radio 4 programme – the sort that makes you park the car and carry on listening. It was broadcaster Gavin Esler in Jerusalem, examining "the legacy of Adolf Eichmann" on the 50th anniversary of his trial and execution. Everyone who followed that trial will recall the kidnapping of Eichmann by Mossad agents from Buenos Aires in 1961, as a result of a tip-off from agents of Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal. They will remember the book about Eichmann's trial by Hannah Arendt, in which she coined the phrase "the banality of evil". They will visualise the black and white newspaper photographs of a bespectacled, balding, elderly man in the dock of the courtroom – the man who had been the chief organiser of the deportation of millions of Jews to the death camps in Poland. They will have pondered Eichmann's main defence: "I was simply carrying out orders."
I tuned in as the three judges in the Israeli court sentenced him to death by hanging for crimes against the Jewish people; crimes against humanity; and war crimes. Those like me who followed the news at the time thought the verdict a foregone conclusion – not unlike the verdicts at the Nuremberg Trials, which Eichmann had successfully evaded by escaping to South America. The sentence was carried out on May 30 1962. It was followed by cremation, with the ashes scattered in the sea outside Israel's territorial waters.
Why am I writing all this? Because it made me ponder the whole question (yet again) of the morality of capital punishment. Many Catholics think that capital punishment is now forbidden by the Church. Certainly the late pope, John Paul II, in his public statements about it, seemed to indicate that civilised countries should now have recourse to other means of punishment. Other people condemn capital punishment under a general pro-life banner which lumps together the adult guilty, like Eichmann, and the unborn who are innocent.
Personally, I make a distinction between these two categories. Guilt does require some form of punishment and justice must be seen to be done – whereas abortion is always the death of the innocent. Just checking the Catechism of the Catholic Church, I see that on page 488, paragraph 2266, it states: "Preserving the common good of society requires rendering the aggressor unable to inflict harm. For this reason the traditional teaching of the Church has acknowledged as well-founded the right and duty of legitimate public authority to punish malefactors by means of penalties commensurate with the gravity of the crime, not excluding, in cases of extreme gravity, the death penalty…"
Writing as a Christian, I am sympathetic to the Israeli trial and execution of this man, proved beyond doubt to have organised mass murder. In the radio programme, Esler interviewed Michael Goldman-Gilad, survivor of Auschwitz and the Israeli police interrogator of Eichmann during his trial. Now in his 80s, Goldman-Gilad said, "We hanged one person; we couldn't hang him six million times", thus recognising the symbolic aspect of the trial and execution. He did not sound vengeful, simply adding "I felt relieved" after it was all over.
As I see it, Eichmann's continued life was a challenge to Israel's collective memory of suffering; it was an affront to the families of those for whose death he had responsibility, families who wanted justice; his crimes were of the gravest nature. The death penalty was, in this case, appropriate.

Kernel Small Stacks
Here is some random information about small kernel stack sizes.
The default stack size for a process running in kernel space is 8K (as of 2011).
There used to be an option on x86 to reduce the stack size to 4K. And indeed there were efforts in 2006 to make this the default stack size. However, using a small stack opens up the dangerous possibility that the stack will overflow, causing a kernel hang.
Besides wasting memory, if the stack space is not really needed, 8K stacks also have an effect on, and are affected by, general kernel memory allocation. To create an 8K stack requires an order-1 allocation, meaning that 2 contiguous physical pages must be allocated together in order to create a new process stack. If memory has become fragmented, it may be impossible to fulfill an order-1 allocation, even though individual pages of physical memory may be free. Thus 4K stack allocations (order-0 allocations) are more likely to succeed. This is important for systems operating under extreme memory pressure.
There were years of debate on the kernel mailing list about whether 4K stacks should be the default, and lots of bug reports that ended up being caused stack overflows with 4K stacks enabled. The option to support 4k stacks on x86 was removed in 2010, from kernel version 2.6.37 with this commit: dcfa726280116dd31adad37da940f542663567d0

Stack layout
The kernel stack is laid out with the stack pointer at the top of each stack (at the highest stack address), growing downward for each function call and stack allocation. The thread_info structure for a process is at the bottom of the stack. There is no physical mechanism to detect, at allocation time, if the stack pointer wanders into the thread_info area of the stack. Hence, if the stack overflows (the stack pointer goes into the thread_info area), the behavior of the system is undefined.
Stack structure:
top +----------------+ | return vals | | & local vars | | ... | | | | | | 0's | | thread_info | bottom +----------------+
Stack measuring/monitoring mechanisms
Because of previous efforts to conserve stack space, there are actually a few different mechanisms for monitoring the kernel stack usage. Some tools report on the static size of stack usage by kernel functions (a check which is done by either the compiler or a separate tool operating on the kernel binary), and some mechanisms can report on actual stack utilization at runtime.
This kernel configuration option passes an option to the compiler to cause it to emit a warning when a static stack size for a routine is detected that is larger than the specified threshold. It requires gcc version 4.4 or later in order to work.
The gcc option used is "-Wframe-larger-than=xxx".
By default, CONFIG_FRAME_WARN has the value of 1024, but you can set it to any value from 0 to 8192.
Here is a sample of build output with this option configured to 256:
... CC ipc/msg.o CC ipc/sem.o .../linux-3.0.y/ipc/sem.c: In function 'semctl_main.clone.7': .../linux-3.0.y/ipc/sem.c:1021:1: warning: the frame size of 520 bytes is larger than 256 bytes .../linux-3.0.y/ipc/sem.c: In function 'sys_semtimedop': .../linux-3.0.y/ipc/sem.c:1514:1: warning: the frame size of 472 bytes is larger than 256 bytes CC ipc/shm.o CC ipc/ipcns_notifier.o
The kernel source includes a script to perform static stack analysis called scripts/checkstack.pl.
Usage is as follows:
$(CROSS_COMPILE)objdump -d vmlinux | scripts/checkstack.pl [arch]
Replace [arch] with the architecture of the kernel being analyzed. Several architectures are supported, including arm, mips and x86. You should use a cross-objdump that matches the architecture you compiled the kernel for. For example, if you used: arm-gnueabi-linux-gcc as your compiler, you would use arm-gnueabi-linux-objdump as your object dump program. This should have been included in your cross-compiler toolchain package.
Below is some sample output from using checkstack.pl. Note that the file is first dumped to an assembly file (.S), and then piped to checkstack.pl. You can examine the assembly file to see in detail the instructions used to reserve space on the stack, for routines of interest found by checkstack.pl.
An item in brackets is a module name, in case of a loadable module. The number at end is stack depth detected for function. The Leading value is the address of the stack reservation code.

Below are some results for static analysis of function stack depth in the Linux kernel, using 'stack_size'. (stack_size is a custom tool written by Tim Bird, before he found out about checkstack.pl.)

There is kernel feature to output the stack usage of each process, as well as the process that uses the most stack in the system. This is controlled by the kernel configuration option CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE.
This option modifies the process creation path so that the stack is initialized with all zeros. At any time, a request can be made to measure the stack depth of all running processes. This is calculated by measuring the amount of zeros from the end of thread_info to the first non-zero item on each stack.
In more detail, it does the following:
- at process creation time, fills the stack with zeros (kernel/fork.c)
- on sysrq 't', show free space, from call to stack_not_used() (kernel/sched.c)
- it shows as 0 otherwise ??
- define check_stack_usage(), which emits printks on each low-water hit
- low-water appears to be global over all stacks
- check_stack_usage() is only called on process exit, so you might not know about a problem process until very late
- stack_not_used() is defined in include/linux/sched.h. It counts the number of zero bytes following the end of thread_info going up.
As the systems runs, any time the stack low-water mark is exceeded, then the kernel prints a report (logs it to the kernel message log). This can be viewed with the dmesg command:
Here is example output, greping the kernel message log for "greatest":
# dmesg | grep greatest kworker/u:0 used greatest stack depth: 10564 bytes left busybox used greatest stack depth: 9512 bytes left busybox used greatest stack depth: 9504 bytes left grep used greatest stack depth: 9372 bytes left init used greatest stack depth: 9028 bytes left
To get a report on the stack usage of currently running processes, you use 't' with sysrq. For example:
$ echo t >/proc/sysrq-trigger
A stack dump for each process is shown, along with stack usage information.
Here is some sample output:
$ echo t >/proc/sysrq-trigger $ dmesg | grep -v [[] task PC stack pid father init S 802af8b0 932 1 0 0x00000000 kthreadd S 802af8b0 2496 2 0 0x00000000 ksoftirqd/0 S 802af8b0 2840 3 2 0x00000000 kworker/0:0 S 802af8b0 2776 4 2 0x00000000 kworker/u:0 S 802af8b0 2548 5 2 0x00000000 migration/0 S 802af8b0 2704 6 2 0x00000000 migration/1 S 802af8b0 2704 7 2 0x00000000 kworker/1:0 S 802af8b0 2560 8 2 0x00000000 ksoftirqd/1 S 802af8b0 3024 9 2 0x00000000 khelper S 802af8b0 2824 10 2 0x00000000 sync_supers S 802af8b0 2872 11 2 0x00000000 bdi-default S 802af8b0 2584 12 2 0x00000000 kblockd S 802af8b0 2824 13 2 0x00000000 khubd S 802af8b0 2744 14 2 0x00000000 rpciod S 802af8b0 3024 15 2 0x00000000 kworker/0:1 S 802af8b0 1240 16 2 0x00000000 kswapd0 S 802af8b0 2848 17 2 0x00000000 fsnotify_mark S 802af8b0 2632 18 2 0x00000000 nfsiod S 802af8b0 3024 19 2 0x00000000 kworker/u:1 S 802af8b0 2840 20 2 0x00000000 hoge S 802af8b0 3024 23 2 0x00000000 kworker/1:1 S 802af8b0 1716 24 2 0x00000000 flush-0:13 S 802af8b0 2528 28 2 0x00000000 telnetd S 802af8b0 1848 48 1 0x00000000 ash R running 1264 56 1 0x00000000
Stack tracer in ftrace
For detailed instructions, see: Ftrace#Find_deepest_kernel_stack
Rough notes:
- Turn on CONFIG_STACK_TRACER in kernel config
- pass 'stacktrace' on kernel command line, or at runtime do:
- echo 1 >/proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled
- mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
- <do some stuff>
- cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace
See http://lwn.net/Articles/295955/
Stack limit patches
Sony has a series of patches which implement a stack guard page, and use that to show a backtrace if the process uses more than a specified amount in its kernel stack. In essence, this creates a hard failure for a controlled stack overflow event.
These patches do the following: Add the config options:
- CONFIG_SNSC_DEBUG_STACK_LIMIT - perform stack layout changes
- CONFIG_SNSC_SUPPORT_4KB_MAPPING - re-map kernel memory for 4K TLB mappings
- CONFIG_SNSC_DEBUG_STACK_LIMIT_MANUAL - allow a user-specified starting stack size
the patches do several things:
- change the stack layout to place thread_info at the top of the stack rather than at the bottom
- change the stack size to 16KB (order 2)
- allow configuring the default starting position of the stack, to simulate an arbitrary stack size (default is right below thread_info)
- remap the kernel memory so that 4KB mappings are used
- this allows unmapping the bottom page of the stack, so that a fault occurs when the page is accessed (on a stack overflow for a manually configured small stack)
- this is only turned on if you specify 'use_4kb_mapping' on the
- unmap the bottom page of the stack (the guard page)
- this is only turned on if you specify 'unmap_stack'

ARM 4K Stacks
In October of 2011, Tim Bird submitted patches to add 4K stack support for the ARM architecture to the Linux kernel. The patches he submitted are here:
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/18/476 - ARM 4Kstacks: introduction
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/18/477 - ARM 4Kstacks: Add support for 4K kernel stacks to ARM
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/18/479 - ARM: Add static kernel function stack size analyzer, for ARM
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/18/481 - ARM 4Kstacks: Decrease poll and select stack usage, when using 4K stacks
After some discussion, these patches were not accepted into mainline.
The following points were problems that needed to be addressed for this patch set:
* Should make this depend on CONFIG_EXPERT (to warn developers who attempt to use this) * Should add interrupt stacks to ARM to take pressure off of 4K stacks * Should determine if 4K stacks use case will cause ripple effect and lots of ifdefs and hard maintenance issues throughout the kernel. In particular, need to look at: * %pV recursion in printk. This is used by several file systems * question: for operation or just reporting??
Dave Chinner (here) wrote:
There's a good reason 4k stacks went away: it's simply not enough space for the deep 60+ function call stacks we see with even trivial storage stack configurations. The stack usage on 32 bit ARM and x86 is going to be similar, so you're going to be fighting a losing battle - there is no stack space that can be trimmed from most paths. To make matter worse, there's been stuff done to the storage stack that significantly increases stack usage since 4k stacks went away (e.g. the on-stack block plugging changes). And FWIW, XFS is widely used on ARM based NAS devices, so this isn't a theoretical problem I'm making up here...
This is a pretty good example of people denying a use case with a red herring.
Possible mixed stack size feature
One option for realizing most of the benefits of 4K stacks, while preserving more robustness, would be to utilize mixed stack sizes in the kernel.
Processes known to exercise only certain, stack-conservative, code paths in the kernel could utilize 4K stacks, and other processes could utilize 8K (or larger) stacks for safety purposes.
There would have to be a mechanism to support selecting the stack size at process creation time. One simple mechanism would be to introduce a child_stack_size parameter in thread_info, settable via /proc, and use this on the clone system call.
A system to support different-sized stacks by changing the stack size of already running processes would likely be too complicated to be practical.
Currently, the method of accessing the thread_info structure for a task in the kernel relies on the stack size of all processes being consistent among all processes (and being a power of two). A pointer to thread_info is obtained by masking the current stack pointer with a value dependent on the (global) size of the stack. With mixed stack sizes, a different mechanism would be needed to convert from stack pointer to thread_info. One method which might work would be to pre-allocate a stack pool for non-standard-sized stacks, and use pointer comparison to see if SP fell within the pool. If the pool was exhausted, the default stack size would be used.
This would work best in the case of a system with an identifiable number of processes which would use special-sized stacks.
This area has random notes for stack depth management issues:
Problem routines
do_select, do_sys_poll
The structure 'struct poll_wqueue' is a large data structure used for the select() and poll() system calls to manage a sub-set of the file descriptors being polled. This structure includes an array of wait queues which can be used immediately (without requiring or waiting for a memory allocation) for polling file I/O.
The number of entries in the array of wait queues can be controlled via macros in include/linux/poll.h

Columbus Crew Head Coach Robert Warzycha
Overall thoughts on the match:
I'm happy with the performance today…I think we dominated in the first half, I thought we really pushed them. I don't remember them having many quality chances to be honest with you. [Sporting Kansas City] is a very good team, and watching them play in the past I thought they created a lot more chances than they did tonight, and I think we did well at the end of the game to score a goal in the ninetieth minute. Obviously it would be nice to have three points, but I'm not disappointed.
On conceding an early goal to Sporting:
I think the way we played they had to sit back at times. I think they came out strong at the beginning of the game. I think they pushed us a little bit and maybe surprised us with the long ball, but the ball they scored the goal with took a deflection. [C.J.] Sapong finished it pretty well. [The ball] hit the post and he finished it after that.
On the 2012 MLS Cup Playoff race:
Obviously we are a few points behind D.C. and a point behind Houston for now. We have to win our games and hope for the best. We play every time to win, so it doesn't matter. We're going to go to D.C. and try to win, as we do every single time we step on the field.
On the status of his roster re: injuries:
At this point in the season every guy is one kick away from being subbed [out of the game] from injury. [The players] are all playing with some kind of injury; Federico [Higuain] is playing with an injury, Jairo [Arrieta] is too, Chad Marshall and Julius James – you name it.
Columbus Crew Midfielder Eddie Gaven
On scoring the stoppage time equalizer:
Milo [Mirosevic] played in a great ball and I was able to get it in [the goal]. It just felt good for the team – everybody worked so hard tonight. [Sporting Kansas City] is a very physical and fast team, and it was a very chippy game at times. There were a lot of fouls out there, so with all that in mind it was nice to get a goal for your team and not to lose a very important game at home. It would have been nice to get three points, but now we have to try and get six [points] and build off the good things we did tonight.
On the draw:
We're happy that we came back obviously after going down 1-0 – that we didn't lose here at home. We were able to get one point and every point matters this time of year. At the same time everybody knows this is a game we should have gotten three points from. We're playing here at home, it was a game where we played pretty well except for the first 10 minutes or so where we go ourselves down in a hole...there's things we can take from [the game] for sure in terms of the things we did well, but obviously there are some things we have to work on. Probably the biggest thing is working on coming out stronger in the first 10 minutes.
Columbus Crew Goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum
On the draw:
I thought [Sporting's] goal was a bit lucky as far as the deflection goes, but we did well to battle back and really limit their chances. We know we needed at least a point out of the game, and that was a great, great goal from Eddie [Gaven]. We know we have to come out and get six points from these next two games.
On the club's remaining MLS regular season matches:
We know we have to win out. Nothing less that that is going to be acceptable for us as far as the playoffs go. At the same time we can't have any added pressure. We need to go out one game at a time and make them count.
Sporting Kansas City Head Coach Peter Vermes
General thoughts on the game:
I thought that based on the significance of the game for both teams, especially for [the Crew] trying to remain alive for the playoffs, I thought we played well. Getting the goal was good. I think we should have gotten another one. We had some good chances. I thought we did a really good job of not giving [the Crew] anything really. They scored a good goal at the end. We should've been able to close the game out. I think we made it a little to easy for them at the end, just pumping balls all over the place. But at the end for us to come here and get a point, it's good.
On leaving Columbus with a point:
Obviously, we move on to the next game. We had it within us to get the three [points]. I'm a little disappointed on that side of it, but it still keeps us in the running for everything we want to do.
On Sporting's Supporters' Shield hopes:
There has to be a major slip-up on San Jose's part. Right now, it doesn't look like there's going to be, especially with the way their schedule looks coming up. For us, the whole end goal was trying to make the playoffs, and then try to get in the position to have home field advantage for the playoffs. Right now, we're keeping ourselves in that position, which is good. We'll keep pushing towards it.
Sporting Kansas City Goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen
General thoughts on the game:
I though it was an okay game. We knew that Columbus had to come out and try to drive the game a little bit. I think they did a pretty good job of that. I think we had a lot of quality in our possession the first 30-40 minutes of the game. When the field dried out a little bit, the quality went down from my point of view. With our possession, we played a little too slow. Overall, I think we had a decent performance. Of course, when they score in the last few minutes, you're standing with a mixed feeling. But it's part of the game, we've been in situations where we're the team that's chasing the goal. Unfortunately, we couldn't hold up for 90-plus minutes.
On earning a point on the road:
It's a mixed feeling when [the Crew] scored so late in the game. I think when we go back to KC and we have a couple of days off, I think when we look back at this performance here, it's an okay performance and we'll be happy with the point.
Sporting Kansas City Forward C.J. Sapong
General thoughts on the match:
It was a hard battle. Obviously, [the Crew] was in a position where they're battling for points. We knew that coming in. They gave us that battle for 90 minutes. They pulled one back in the 90th minute. It is what it is, right?
On his first half goal:
The initial cross got a little deflected. It kind of hung up for me and I had a little bit more time than I expected. I really didn't get off the best header, but it ended up hitting off the post and coming right back to me and I was able to be quick enough to put it in the net.

Last weekend my left knee decided to stop working. So I had the day off today. This means doing work for the course I am undertaking alongside my full-time job.
I work as the archaeology officer for Southwark Council. Other than staff in the Heritage team who work in the Borough's museum, I am the only archaeologist at the Council. I work within the Development Management department (we no longer control development, we manage it!). I advise planning officers on whether proposals comply with the requirements of the Borough's archaeology policy, wider heritage policies and the relevant paragraphs of the National Planning Policy Framework. I issue briefs for archaeological work, check WSIs, monitor site work, check reports, make recommendations for the discharge of archaeological conditions and manage much of the digital data for the department. Along side the archaeological work I also undertake some conservation work where an archaeological input is necessary or valuable or if it is a GIS heavy project.
I work in a team with conservation officers, urban design officers and a tree officer. As part of my employer's commitment to staff training I am currently undertaking a postgraduate diploma in Historic Environment Conservation at the Ironbridge Institute. This is part of the Institute of Antiquity and Archaeology at Birmingham that is currently threatened with closure. Ironbridge is an immensely valuable training organisation that provides recognised degrees and qualifications that are organised in a way whereby those in full-time work can easily undertake the qualification with a minimal level of interference with their full-time jobs.
I have nearly finished by essay on concrete conservation (far more interesting than it sounds) and would urge anyone reading this to visit this web page for more information on the potential closure http://saveiaa.wordpress.com/.
