You can limit access to the Administration Server or the files and directories on your web site by making them available only to clients using specific computers. You specify host names or IP addresses for the computers that you want to allow or deny. You can use wildcard patterns to specify multiple computers or entire networks. Access to a file or directory using Host-IP authentication appears seamless to the user. Users can access the files and directories immediately without entering a username or password.
Since more than one person may use a particular computer, Host-IP authentication is more effective when combined with User-Group authentication. If both methods of authentication are used, a username and password will be required for access.
Host-IP authentication does not require DNS to be configured on your server. If you choose to use Host-IP authentication, you must have DNS running in your network and your server must be configured to use it.
Enabling DNS degrades the performance of the server since the server is forced to do DNS look ups. To reduce the effects of DNS look ups on your server's performance, resolve IP addresses only for access control and CGI instead of resolving the IP address for every request. To do this, append iponly=1 to AddLog fn="flex-log" name="access" in your obj.conf file:
AddLog fn="flex-log" name="access" iponly=1

Kass Likes Muni CEFs' 'Attractive Upside' and 'Limited Downside'
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Your blogger has been beating this drum all week, so put me firmly in the "It's a great time to buy CEFs" box.
But here's Seabreeze Partners chief Douglas A. Kasstelling clients Tuesday much the same thing. Kass is focused on munis:
A package of closed-end municipal bond funds should provide an attractive upside return and limited downside risk.
Among Kass' reasons for arguing this:
Municipal bond funds, under the pressure of credit quality problems and rising interest rates, now sell at a near-record discount to net asset values (over 10%) and at a near-record pretax equivalent yield relative to taxable bonds (high grade and junk).
The above conditions of larger-than-historic discounts to net asset value and fear of higher interest rates provide investors and traders with a margin of safety, which, for me, is integral to forming the foundation of every investment.
Among the CEFs Kass says he now owns: Nuveen Municipal Advantage Fund (NMA), Nuveen Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NAD), Eaton Vance Municipal Income Term Trust (ETX), and BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust (BKN).

I found this article and read it. I thought about it and then I reread it. On the face it seems like a lot of noise about a minor (?) thing. We all know there are those patients and patient's family members that we would rather avoid. But, on rereading, I had to let go of those preconceived thoughts that I believe had been planted in my psyche by society. I substituted "teacher" for "nurse" and parent for "patient" and came away with quite another viewpoint.
I think it is unfortunate that we live in a male-dominated society, but that's the fact. What I wonder about, though, is who is raising these men? Where are the mothers who should be teaching these boys how to be "men" and how to treat women? Where are the fathers who should be role models for these boys? Our society, as publicized by the media, is simply a reflection of what we have allowed ourselves to become. Violence is on the rise. Everywhere. But that still does not make it right to victimize someone who is trying to help you.
Here is the article. Please read it and let me know what you think. I am always interested in other people's opinions and differing points of view. The original posting was on the MSNBC website, but was reposted on The Truth About Nursing, which is where I found it. Leave them a note if you feel inclined. It is a good site that has lots of information about nursing and the media.
You're a nurse, right?
December 2, 2010 — Today MSNBC ran a short "weird news" item about a common event: sexual abuse based at least partly on patients' assumption that it's OK if the victim is a nurse. Teresa Masterson's piece tells the story of Joseph Wolf of Allentown, PA, a man who reportedly claimed that the reason he twice grabbed an emergency room nurse's buttocks was to say "thank you" for her care. Of course, this is a creative justification for abuse, but countless nurses have been "thanked" this way throughout their careers. What makes this story more notable is what Wolf apparently told the nurse after grabbing her: "Well, you're a nurse, right?" In other words, it's part of your job to provide sexual services, or at least to endure sexual abuse. Where would people get the idea that nurses are sex toys? Could it be the media, at least to some extent? You know–the same media the produces The Dr. Oz Show, which just last month included a segment featuring naughty "nurses" dancing with Oz as an "attempt at humor" in a segment about losing weight? When a prominent physician like Oz doesn't get it–even his "apology" suggested that he thought the nurses who objected were just too sensitive–what chance does the average patient have to understand these issues? It's as hard to imagine Oz dancing with women in naughty physician or lawyer outfits as it is to imagine a person following up a sexual assault with, "well, you're a physician," or "well, you're a lawyer." We thank MSNBC and other news outlets for reporting on this incident. But we saw no hint in these stories that most nurses experience this kind of abuse, or that not enough is done to address the abuse, to say nothing of the stereotypes that underlie it.
The MSNBC piece was headlined, "Nothing says 'thank you' like a tush grab or two." It explains that the 53-year-old Wolf was at Allentown's Sacred Heart Hospital late the preceding Sunday night, in the "waiting room demanding to be treated because he said he'd been assaulted."
Police say Wolf repeatedly demanded pain medication while using vulgar language, and when the nurse told him no medication was ordered, he twice grabbed the nurse's buttocks and said,
"Well, you're a nurse, right," reports the [Allentown] Morning Call.
When police arrived a little after 11 p.m., Wolf told them he didn't think his conduct was inappropriate because "in Europe, they kiss."
Wolf also reportedly claimed that grabbing the nurse "was just his way of saying 'thank you' for her service." Neither the nurse nor the police agreed, and it seems pretty unlikely that a person who is using profanity and is unhappy at being denied medication would be in the mood to thank anyone. Wolf was later admitted to the hospital for the earlier assault he apparently suffered, but he is now "facing indecent assault charges" and "being held on $8,500 bail."
It's no secret that nurses are often assaulted, and that these assaults often have a sexual component. In October 2009, the Salt Lake Tribune reported that a Utah man had allegedly grabbed the breast of a hospital nurse he found "cute." The man was at the hospital for the impending birth of his child. Police said that the nurse he assaulted was wheeling his child's mother to the delivery room. The man was arrested, so he missed the birth.
A 2009 study found that 56% of Japanese hospital nurses had been sexually harassed at some point in their careers. In a December 2005 study, University of Missouri communications professor Debbie Dougherty found that more than 70 percent of the nurses she surveyed in four U.S. states had been sexually harassed by patients. In March 2006, Dougherty told a writer for the Monster website that she was "surprised" at the aggression the nurses faced: "Patients threatened to attack nurses sexually and called them prostitutes." And a 2002 NurseWeek study found that 19 percent of nurses had been sexually harassed in the previous year.
Sexual abuse has a negative impact on patient care, as a December 2005 Associated Press item about Dougherty's study noted. A nurse traumatized by abuse cannot provide her best care, and the abuse contributes to nurse burnout and turnover, as well as nurses leaving the bedside completely.
Abused nurses often do not receive adequate support from their employers. Some seem to view sexual abuse as part of the nurses' job. In February 2009, the New York Daily News reported that a Queens jury had awarded a nurse $15 million after Flushing Hospital had allegedly allowed a physician to sexually abuse her and other nurses for years, even though hospital officials were aware of the physician's history of misconduct. The physician finally lost his admitting privileges after two 2001 incidents, including one in which he had allegedly chased the nurse through the halls, cornered her, and "aggressively groped her below the waist." We are pleased that the hospital and the police in Allentown appear to have taken this assault as the serious event it was, however comical the patient's explanations for his conduct may have been.
But what may be less commonly understood, and what does not seem appear in any reporting on these events, is the role that social attitudes about nurses play in such abuse. Of course these assaults are multicausal; not everyone who sees nurses as sex objects assaults them. Nor is this about any objection to sexual imagery in general. Naughty nurse imagery matters because nurses face a perfect storm of dangerous people and negative stereotyping about their workplace role. It seems clear that decades of relentless naughty nurse imagery in the media play a role in the attitudes of some, or else people would not make comments like Wolf reportedly made. When a person is altered–perhaps by drugs, mental health issues, pain, fear for his health, or stress from some other incident–and that person lashes out, it is natural he would choose a target society has told him is a disposable sex object, a woman of low status whose job it is to be sexually available and to accept abuse without complaint. After all, they are nurses, right? Naughty nurse imagery makes real nurses more attractive targets for people who are looking for targets.
Or even just an innovative way to say "thanks."
See Teresa Masterson's article "Nothing says 'thank you' like a tush grab or two: Man says he was trying to show gratitude but faces assault charge for groping nurse twice," posted December 2, 2010, on the MSNBC web site.

Massive Stars Sculpt Gas of Nebula N83B (NGC 1748)
Extremely intense radiation from newly born, ultra-bright stars has blown a glowing spherical bubble in the nebula N83B, also known as NGC 1748. A new NASA Hubble Space Telescope image has helped to decipher the complex interplay of gas and radiation of a star-forming region in a nearby galaxy. The image graphically illustrates just how these massive stars sculpt their environment by generating powerful winds that alter the shape of the parent gaseous nebula. These processes are also seen in our Milky Way in regions like the Orion Nebula.
The Hubble telescope is famous for its contribution to our knowledge about star formation in very distant galaxies. Although most of the stars in the Universe were born several billions of years ago, when the Universe was young, star formation still continues today. This new Hubble image shows a very compact star-forming region in a small part of one of our neighboring galaxies - the Large Magellanic Cloud. This galaxy lies only 165,000 light-years from our Milky Way and can easily be seen with the naked eye from the Southern Hemisphere.
Young, massive, ultra-bright stars are seen here just as they are born and emerge from the shelter of their pre-natal molecular cloud. Catching these hefty stars at their birthplace is not as easy as it may seem. Their high mass means that the young stars evolve very rapidly and are hard to find at this critical stage. Furthermore, they spend a good fraction of their youth hidden from view, shrouded by large quantities of dust in a molecular cloud. The only chance is to observe them just as they start to emerge from their cocoon - and then only with very high-resolution telescopes.
Astronomers from France, the U.S., and Germany have used Hubble to study the fascinating interplay between gas, dust, and radiation from the newly born stars in this nebula. Its peculiar and turbulent structure has been revealed for the first time. This high-resolution study has also uncovered several individual stars that are responsible for lighting up this cloud of gas.
The apparently innocuous-looking star at the very center of the nebula, just below the brightest region, is actually about 30 times more massive and almost 200,000 times brighter than our Sun. The intense light and powerful stellar "winds" from this ultra-bright star have cleared away the surrounding gas to form a large cavity. The bubble is approximately 25 light-years in diameter - about the same size as the famous star-forming Orion Nebula. The Orion Nebula is sculpted by intense radiation from newly born stars in the same way as N83B. Astronomers estimate that the spherical void in N83B must have been carved out of the nebula very recently - in astronomical terms - maybe as little as 30,000 years ago.
The hottest star in N83B is 45 times more massive than the Sun and is embedded in the brightest region in the nebula. This bright region, situated just above the center, is only about 2 light-years across. The region's small size and its intense glow are telltale signs of a very young, massive star. This star is the youngest newcomer to this part of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Hubble image shows a bright arc structure just below the luminous star. This impressive ridge may have been created in the glowing gas by the hot star's powerful wind.
Measurements of the age of this star and neighboring stars in the nebula show that they are younger than the nebula's central star. Their formation may have been "triggered" by the violent wind from the central star. This "chain-reaction" of stellar births seems to be common in the Universe. About 20 young and luminous stars have been identified in the region, but it may well be that many more massive stars remain undetected in other areas of the Large Magellanic Cloud, hidden by dust in small clusters like N83B.
To the right of the glowing N83B is a much larger diffuse nebula, known as DEM22d, which is partly obscured by an extended lane of dust and gas.
This image is composed of three narrow-band-filter images obtained with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in May 2000. The colors are red (ionized hydrogen, H-alpha), green (ionized oxygen), and blue (ionized hydrogen, H-beta). The blue corresponds to the warmest regions, the red to the coldest. The full image is 66 x 133 arc-seconds, which corresponds to 55 x 108 light-years at the distance of the Large Magellanic Cloud.

DETROIT (AP) -- Desmond Howard says he plans to fight a lawsuit by the photographer who snapped his Heisman Trophy touchdown pose in 1991.
The Heisman winner tells The Flint Journal for a recent story he couldn't discuss the lawsuit extensively. The former Michigan player described it as "really odd," noting that it's been "more than two decades since I played my last down in Ann Arbor."
Photographer Brian Masck in January filed a copyright infringement lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Detroit, saying Howard and others unlawfully copied and marketed the shot.
Masck didn't obtain a copyright until 2011. Masck took the photo after Howard scored on a 93-yard punt return against Ohio State.
Masck says he never authorized the photo to be used in magazines and in memorabilia.
