The Marin Municipal Water District (MMWD) is notifying its 185,000 customers in the coming weeks of its plans to raise water rates, a move that would mark the the agency has raised its rates.
Citing declining revenue as a result of the success of its conservation efforts, as well as rising costs on items like electricity and health insurance for its current and retired employees, the district seeks to raise its rates by 6 percent. For the district's average user, the hike would raise the rate from a $94.44 two-month water bill to a $100 two-month bill. The district will host a workshop on the rate hike on March 29 and the board is set to consider the increase at its April 19 meeting.
"Utility increases are the norm and we're way ahead of the curve in keeping our rate increases at a moderate level," said Cynthia Koehler, a Mill Valley resident and the president of the MMWD board. "We have a bunch of fixed costs that don't go down just because our customers are consuming less water, and we have to pay our bills."
Koehler, who voted against moving forward with the increase at the board's Feb. 16, said she supports the short-term need to raise rates but hopes the process could be slowed down to allow for recommendations from the district's rate advisory committee, which is looking into long-term budget fixes in an effort to avoid annual rate hikes.
The district saw its revenue from water use go down nearly 14 percent in 2010-2011, and it's projected to continue to slide this year as water consumption went down nearly 3 percent for the six months ended Feb. 1 as compared to the same period a year ago.
The decline in water sales experienced over the last four years is from a combination of "more than anticipated success with our water conservation program, the slow economic recovery from the recession and summer temperatures which were substantially lower than normal," district officials said in a Feb. 16 staff report on the issue.
Koehler said it is important for MMWD customers to understand that while water conservation is a good thing, it negatively impacts the district's revenue. She noted the continued suspension of the district's conservation rebate program, which allows homeowners to receive as much as $350 toward the purchase of efficient irrigation equipment. The rebate, instituted in 2007, seeks to reduce outdoor water use, which accounts for 50 percent of summer water consumption.
"The thing to compare the rate increase to is what the rate would have been if customers weren't conserving," she said. "Rates would have much, much higher if we had to go out and get more water. In addition, we have a staff that we have to support and it doesn't matter have how much water you use, we still need that staff."
Some MMWD customers said the district has had plenty of time to anticipate the continuing successful conservation efforts of its customers and budget accordingly.
"The board has had more than enough time to change its business methods since 2006 to not have this happen over and over," said Mill Valley resident Bob Silvestri. "But in fact, nothing's fundamentally changed at all."
The district cited a number of rising costs for the rate hike, including a 15.5 increase in electricity costs due to the rise in rates from the Marin Energy Authority, as well as a 26.6 increase in health insurance premiums for its retired employees.
Another one of those increasing costs will be the pay of Paul Helliker, the district's longtime general manager who is resigning from the position as of March 1. In a move Koehler acknowledged was "an unusual situation," Helliker is receiving a severance package following his resignation, in addition a payout of all of his vacation and benefits. Helliker is also being kept on through December 12, 2012, as a consultant, easing the transition to a new general manager.
Helliker is due $79,645 in vacation and benefits payment on June 11, though he will be on vacation from March to June and "drawing down his vacation leave and holiday pay," according to the agreement reached between parties. Helliker will receive $48,639 severance, the equivalent of three months of Helliker's salary of $16,213 per month, on Dec. 18. From June 12 to Dec. 12, Helliker will be paid as a consultant at a rate of $19,131 per month, for a total of $114,786. In all, Helliker will receive $195,851 in salary and consulting fees from the district in 2012, up from his current annual salary of $189,000.
"We really wanted to keep Paul and have the benefit of his expertise for as long as possible," Koehler said. "That was a big piece of it. He's very well regarded, almost iconic in the water management community, and with the (agreement), we were trying to make things work for everybody."
The rate increase would go into effect May 1. The district is sending out mailers in the next few weeks to all customers notifying them of the plans to increase rates.

Family and friends of 16-month-old Evan Ranieri are inviting golfers to participate in a fundraising tournament Oct. 14 to benefit the little boy in need of a kidney transplant.
The son of Paul and Melissa Ranieri, who live off Bloomingdale Avenue, Evan was born with hypoplasia of the kidneys, meaning his kidneys are underdeveloped and operate at 30 percent of normal kidneys. As a result, the little boy will require a life-saving kidney transplant during the coming year.
Until he has a transplant, he is being kept alive with the help of a feeding tube inserted into his stomach.
If tests show she's a match, Melissa Ranieri plans to sacrifice one of her own kidneys to save her son.
"I would be the best candidate, so I will be tested first," she said.
On top of their constant concern for their son's health, the Ranieris have the added burden of knowing he faces a transplant surgery that could devastate the family financially.
Although the Ranieris have private health insurance, it won't cover the entire cost of the $500,000 kidney transplant.
They are now registered with the national Children's Organ Transplant Association, an organization providing fundraising assistance to families facing a life-saving transplant.
Evan has his own page on the COTA website that includes a button to make online donations, 100 percent of which goes to Evan's medical needs, as well as other fundraising activities on behalf of Evan and a personal blog on Evan's progress written by his mother.
Friends are hoping to offset the costs of the surgery with the fundraising golf tournament Oct. 14 at the Bloomingdale Golfers Club, 4113 Great Golfers Place, Valrico, starting with an 8:15 a.m. shotgun scramble. Registration begins at 7 a.m.
With a sponsorship from Bright House Networks and USAmeriBank, and thousands of dollars worth of prizes and raffle items, organizers would like to attract at least 100 golfers. The cost is $80 per player and includes a continental breakfast, lunch sponsored by Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill, prizes, raffles, contests and a live auction. To register, visit the tournament's website or contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call 727-460-4734.
The Ranieris are looking for other fundraising opportunities as well. Anyone wishing to help can contact Diane and Frank Ranieri at 727-786-3079 or email@example.com.

Burning Issues
Overview of burn types and their prehospital assessment and treatment by EMS
A paramedic ambulance is dispatched to the scene of a house fire. En route the fire department advises that one victim has been removed from the house.
Upon arrival the EMS crew finds a single-story house with smoke pouring out of the back windows. The fire department has secured the scene and extricated an elderly male from a bedroom in the back of the house. The patient is loaded into the ambulance, and EMS begins its assessment. The patient appears to be at least 60 years old and is only wearing underwear. He has significant burns all over his body, with blisters as well as black tissue starting to appear in some areas. The patient is unconscious and has occasional gasping respirations. His carotid pulses are weak and rapid, and his skin is hot to the touch, dry, and feels leathery in the more severely burned areas. The crew rolls the patient onto his side for a moment. They find no other signs of trauma, and roll him onto his back using in-line stabilization. There are no bystanders, and no medical history can be obtained. It is suspected that the man was asleep when the house caught fire. When the fire department arrived, the patient's bedroom was fully engulfed in flames and filled with thick black smoke.
The EMS crew estimates that the patient has 95% total body surface area involvement of partial- and complete-thickness burns. They initiate airway management. Due to the extent of the burns, intravenous access is not possible. They place an intraosseous infusion in a lower extremity and initiate fluid resuscitation with normal saline. They transport the patient to the regional burn center for evaluation and treatment. There he's admitted to the intensive care unit. Two weeks later he succumbs to injuries sustained during the fire.
It is estimated that 1.2 million Americans are burned each year, and that more than 50,000 require hospitalization. Nearly a million a year seek emergency department treatment for burns. Burns also account for roughly 5,000 deaths per year. Fires and burns are the second-most common cause of unintentional injury leading to death in children and the third-leading cause of unintentional injury leading to death for those older than 1. Half of all burns may involve smoking or substance abuse. Burns occur primarily at home or the workplace. When fire is involved, it is sometimes difficult to determine if burns or smoke inhalation resulted in a death. This makes the reporting of accurate numbers more difficult.1-4
Approximately 8% of burns result in death. The number of deaths from burns has declined over the past several decades. This can be credited to several factors, including better burn care, improvements in the quality of burn centers, and the recognition and effective management of shock related to burns. Improved wound management and antibiotic use have also decreased deaths from infections related to burns. Another factor is the use of smoke detectors: In the United States, most people killed in house fires die from smoke inhalation rather than burns.5,6
The skin has three layers: the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. The epidermis is the top layer; the dermis is directly beneath it. The epidermis has varying levels of thickness. For example, the epidermis of the forearm tends to be thinner than at the sole of the foot. The epidermis acts as a barrier between the body and the external environment. The dermis has two layers, the papillary (superficial) and reticular (deep) layers. The hypodermis is a layer of adipose and connective tissue between the skin and underlying tissues. Subcutaneous tissue is located under the dermis and is not considered a layer of skin. Other structures, such as muscle and bone, are located beneath the subcutaneous layer.2-5
The skin has several functions, including being a barrier to water, protection from vapors, and resisting infection. The skin influences the body's temperature through its ability to retain and release heat. It is one of the body's most important protective organs.2,3,5,6

Off-Campus Dining:
not a lot of options
Many sports to choose from.
Campus Dining:
The campus meal plan is pretty flexible. There are many popular restaurants that we can use our meal plan towards, like Tim Hortons, Harvey's, Pizza Pizza, Jack Astor's, Yogurty's, etc. You can also use it to pay for food within the residence buildings and on campus and the food they serve isn't bad. They all have fresh fruit and salad bars all the time and a specialty bar, like Stir Fry bar each night.
My program is pretty competitive, everyone is trying to get into medical school as soon as they can, so it's definitely hard to stay in it. Many of our profs however are physicians so they have real world experience and cases to talk about to help us learn, and if they aren't they are very knowledgeable in what they are teaching.
Campus Strictness:
The campus police are pretty strict when it comes to drug use on campus obviously, but using alcohol is more lenient.
Off-Campus Housing:
Finding off-campus housing at Western is VERY easy. Most students live off campus after their first year so there are a plethora of places to rent with a couple of friends. Housing is affordable and you can easily find somewhere close to school. It's a competitive process though, as everyone wants the cheapest place, closest to the school, in the best house they can get.
LOVE Western. There is a great balance of working hard and learning to relax while at school. The professors are very knowledgeable and find interesting ways to teach the material. I've made a ton of friends both in my program and out of it which definitely makes the experience for enjoyable.
LONDON TRANSIT IS THE MOST unreliable form of transit, s****y
JBRS is the worst... NEVER GO THERE
London transit is the worst. I can't count the number of times that a bus has driven passed me because "there is not enough space" or "doesn't pick up this location" even though there are 7-8 empty spots on the bus, or the bus mustang express infront stops for us. LONDON TRANSIT IS THE MOST UNRELIABLE FORM OF TRANSIT...
Great Nightlife.All bars all good except JBRs, NEVER GO TO JBRs, WORST BAR EVER, Bad Service, Ass**** Bouncers, and Overpriced drinks NEVER, I Repeat, Never go To JBRs.
Off-Campus Dining:
Foodies will be greatly surprised by what London has to offer, especially Downtown near the bars. The after-bar options are vast and hometown favorites include Prince Alberts, Sammy's Souvlaki, and Stobie's Pizza (to name a few on Richmond). Prices and value are fair, and student discounts can be found at many places around campus.
Nightlife in London is always a good time. Whether you head down Richmond for the night or attend the multitude of keggers and house parties near campus, you're bound to have an unforgettable night. Downtown is located a short distance down Richmond from the university and transportation is relied on either taxi or the bus system (LTC) which is relatively good.
Campus Housing:
With various options of residency, there is an ideal dorm for most students. Students that would like a party friendly dorm can opt/ask to be placed within one of the more 'loose' residences such as "The Zoo" (Saugeen-Maitland). there are also dorms located closer to the classroom buildings. Cafeteria options are vast among most dorms and fair among others. Multiple Tim Hortons are located throughout the campus as well as many other notable eateries. Social atmosphere is excellent at UWO, which is why student satisfaction is rated consistently among the highest in Canada.
Health & Safety:
I don't think I can remember any crime happening on campus yet. I mean, some computers have gotten stolen if you leave them alone in the library while you go have lunch, but besides that campus is very safe. In fact, getting your cellphone or laptop stolen is extremely rare. I once forgot my brand new Sony Experia phone at a coffee place in the university and someone dropped it off for me at the front desk of the library. You're definitely safe. Just use common sense.
The biggest problem with computers at The University of Western Ontario is finding one that is free. Usually the library is packed and finding a school computer available is not easy. Most people carry around their laptops and then the biggest issue becomes finding plugs! Some classrooms will have only a couple of plugs so you have to hunt for them, but if you're in the library, each table and cubicle usually have a working plug so it's not a big issue. Another problem we had in past years was accessing wireless internet. There was actually a joke made for april fools day on the student newspaper that read "Mysterie of the day: Western Student connects to the school's wireless network succesfully!", but I think this year they have been working on that problem and it is much better. Finally, printing is actually very simple on campus, there are special computers to open up the files you need to print which are always available and for less than 50 cents you can usually print an 8 page lecture. So that is pretty good :).
At The University of Western Ontario, there are many ways to be involved in sports teams regardless of your skill level. I mean, you can get into an intermural team or a club and you will not need much experience, but if you want to get into a Varsity team you will need to know your sport!People at the university have excellent team spirit. Even on an every day scenario you can see people sporting their UWO shirts, sweaters, backpacks, and water bottles. We sure are purple proud! It is sometimes hard for most students to get involved because of school work, but it is definitely doable.The athletic facilities are excellent. If you need proof, you just have to walk over to the rec center and take a look at the pool, which I understand is about 50cm short of being under olympic standards. Any sport you're interested in you can practice at school. From karate to fencing and soccer, the facilities and the teams are there for you to join.
Off-Campus Dining:
Fast Food, and Still Fast Food. If you do not want to spend much much more to go the restaurants, then fast food is probably the only choice you can have. They are not too bad, but if you eat them all the time. Ohh...
Buses Are the Best. Public transportation is really good in UWT. They have buses that come every fifteen minutes. If you need a bus to pick you up late at night, then there's a number you can call, and they'll come get you whenever you need them.
Profs Are Awesome. If you are serious, there's no how you wont be an A student in UWT. The professors are always there to help with the course and course-load isn't too much at all!
Everyone's Friendly. I came to UWT as a shy student, but the teachers and students being very approachable made me open. Now I'm very jovial. Students are very easy to talk to, especially if you have problems with anything
New and Amazing – We have the best and BIGGEST student recreation centre in Canada. And at least 8 libraries. 15 Tim Horton's on campus along with 5 Starbucks and a variety of other coffee options. Our Student Centre houses a ton of useful resources and our beautiful big and cozy mustang lounge is a great new adition. UWO (or Western University as it's been rebranded) is the most beautiful campus in canada with ONLY UBC coming close to matching it's aethetics.
Our record speaks for itself. Tons of varsity sports and tons of intramurals. A huge number of athletic clubs and great facilities.
Off-Campus Housing:
Always a Surplus of Great, Affordable Housing – There are tons of options from duplexes, apartments, townhouses, ect. I've lived in an old townhouse, which was perfect for me and my 6 roomates at the time. My particular experience with that landlord wasn't great, but my new land lord is much more accommodating. London's housing bylaws ensure that you will alays have a great place to live. On another note there is tons of housing right next to the school as well as in the downtown core,depending on your priorities.
Greek Life:
Well, Western is known already to be party school and if you want to party you can find them. I think that's a reason that Greek life isn't as prevalent because you can party with pals regardless. But if you want to go into a Frat there are a few around campus and they are pretty friendly to recruits.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Lauren A. Moore
One thing is certain: Western students love their University. Known for its beautiful campus and steadfast school pride, Western offers an "all-American" experience in a Canadian school. The campus is large, but it's easy to see a familiar face wherever you go. London is a fantastic city for the University, and the students truly run the town. Over time, the city may seem small for the more cosmopolitan students, but Western's school spirit for Homecoming and other rowdy days is irreplaceable. Academically, Western is renowned for its role as a research university and subsequently for its reputable professors. The staff genuinely cares for students, which is unexpected for such a large school. For certain programs and courses, Western isn't difficult in terms of its academics; as long as you do your work, you will succeed.
In the Canadian workforce, the University of Western Ontario has a stellar reputation. However, aside from the Richard Ivey School of Business, companies in the States might not recognize the University. Regardless, the school offers many opportunities that provide experiences that will make all students prepared for their future professional roles. It is rare to find a student that dislikes his or her Western experience, and it's common for many to stay for five-year programs or graduate school because they have so much pride in the University. Western is a great choice for those seeking a true university experience with an immense amount of school spirit.

Even if small businesses aren't selling school supplies or clothing, there are plenty of ways to attract back-to-school shoppers to their products and services with targeted back-to-school ads. According to Forbes, back-to-school spending is the second biggest consumer spending event for retailers behind the winter holidays. Try pitching these back-to-school targeted ideas to help businesses take advantage of one of the biggest retail seasons of the year:
Targeting Ideas
- Restaurants can offer discounts to college students and teachers during the first month of school
- Hair salons and barber shops can offer discounted back-to-school cuts and hair services
- Tutors can promote early registration
- Photographers can offer back-to-school discounted sessions
- Local book stores can offer discounts on popular novels
Timing is Important
When targeting back-to-school shoppers, reaching them at a specific time is important. Suggest that businesses advertise in July and August when people are thinking about back-to-school preparation most.
Good Deals
Recommend that businesses give customers what they want – big discounts. They can advertise contests with big rewards and other discounts in the local newspapers as well as social media. Businesses should consider offering free shipping and other back-to-school bundles to help increase sales.
Here's a slideshow from BizBash that shows how companies are doing back-to-school marketing right.

It's easy to drive past the little strip on Woodland Avenue that houses the Coop Café—St. Mary's is such an imposing and eye-drawing edifice on the other side of the street. But what a shame it would be to miss the colorful décor and good food of this jewel on the north side of town.
The Coop Café is the sister of Creative Catering of Knoxville, and the mind behind both is Nancy Kendrick. Kendrick came to the food industry through her love of the kitchen and others' love of her cooking—especially her tarragon chicken salad. That signature dish led to her commercial debut a little over three years ago at the Market Square Farmer's Market. "I was so nervous," Kendrick recalls, "I worried that nobody would buy it." Instead, she sold out of her wares, and her die was cast.
Within months she set up shop for an adventure in catering. "I rush in where angels fear to tread," says Kendrick, describing the expansion of her business and the move into her own space on North Central, where she developed Creative Catering into a successful and popular business.
The Coop Café was a natural step for the business, and it began in the Knoxville Visitors' Center in 2011 before landing in its current abode this summer.
The restaurant itself is a multi-hued ménage of local art and found objects, including a variety of doors from Brownlow School and various spots around the world. The Coop Café is a bright and joyful place to eat and, fortunately, the food is tasty as well.
The menu is a mix of hot panini, cold sandwiches, soups, salads, and a weekly blue plate special. Desserts are worth every bit of the indulgence—particularly the virtually sinful chocolate pecan tart and the textural wonder of the firm and yet soft oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. Desserts (and soups) rotate daily, which makes regular visits pleasantly surprising.
Kendrick and Executive Chef Simon Hall work to use local ingredients to create their menu. In fact, during the summer months they source lots of food from their own sizable gardens: This little place is a very personal farm-to-table experience.
The food is fresh and happy in a way that reflects the very obvious pleasure that both Kendrick and Hall have found in their vocations. That makes for a great meal anytime.
1008 E. Woodland Ave., 525-9384
Monday-Friday: 7:30 a.m. – 3 p.m., Saturday: 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Must Haves
Rooster Salad: The simplicity of good chicken salad over greens is always a winner, but the Coop's offering is gently spicy with spikes of black beans, cumin, and jalapeño that carry through to the last swallow. The spice is subtle and balanced and, thus, gives the salad a hint of fire without a big burn. It's served with blue chips and salsa and was particularly nice with their refreshing cilantro-lime vinaigrette.
Grilled Cheese: This is a special worth seeking because the interesting combination of ham, apples, Gouda, and sage is delicious. The marriage of these ingredients produces a sweet and savory experience in which the sage is a supporting player to the hint of smokiness in the ham. The buttery melt of the cheese is both a flavorful and textural contrast to the bright crispness of the apples. Served on beautifully browned sourdough, this is a good example of the café's toothsome creativity.
Grilled Chicken Pesto and Provolone: In this pressed sandwich it's hard to differentiate between main ingredient and condiment. Certainly the grilled chicken is well cooked, flavorful, and juicy, but the pesto is aromatic and tastes fresh from the garden. They're nicely complementary and play equal parts on the palate. Ultimately, it's a fine mouthful of sandwich that gets a hint of smoke from the crunchy ciabatta that surrounds it.

By TOM MAY
Local columnist
August 22. It is the 234th day of the year. There are 131 days remaining until the end of the year. There are 126 more shopping days until Christmas. There are 101 days until Indiana does not play Kentucky in college basketball.
During the years, Aug. 22 became the birth date for The Food Network's Giada DeLaurentiis and Mary Tyler Moore's best friend Valerie Harper. It is the birthdate for famed NFL coach Bill Parcells and Boston's Hall of Fame outfielder Carl Yastrzemski.
American singer-songwriter Tori Amos was born on this day, as was French composer Claude Debussy. Science fiction and fantasy author Ray Bradbury called Aug. 22 his birthday, as did playwright James Kirkwood, Jr.
As the sun peeked above the plain on Aug. 22, 1956, about a thousand residents awakened in a sleepy berg in Oklahoma on scenic U.S. Route 66 eager to find their morning paper. Commerce had no newspaper of its own, but its connection to the stories of the outside world was printed in the News-Record, a daily trucked in from nearby Miami, Okla.
The front pages of the newspaper might well have been void of any ink, for everyone in Commerce thumbed quickly past them to the pages containing the real news of the day, coverage of America's Favorite Pastime.
The Yankees had opened a series in the Bronx against the Cleveland Indians. Future Hall of Famer Herb Score had shut out the boys in pinstripes 3-0, but Commerce's own center fielder, Mickey Mantle, had managed to get a hit as he chased baseball's elusive batting prize, the Triple Crown.
Elbows leaned against the Coca-Cola machine outside of Commerce's only gasoline station, a locally owned Conoco franchise. Could Mantle actually end up leading the American League in batting average, home runs, and runs batted in? Would the Yankees go on to win another World Series? Might Mickey be the star?
Smiles creased their faces as they recalled the high school Mantle who played circles around all the other boys.
Today in that same Oklahoma village, the population has burgeoned to around 2,500 residents. Famed highway Route 66 still flows through the middle of the town. The News-Record is still brought in by truck and still carries the baseball scores, although technology has provided more connections with the outside world than just the paper. And today, in that same Oklahoma village, the thoughts and attention of the citizens are again focused on a baseball player.
Flowers, Australian flags and small picket signs pepper the road side where a senseless shooting had taken place. Christopher Jones, a catcher for East Central University Tigers' baseball team, was gunned down by three youth, two under the age of 17, as he was jogging.
One of the alleged murderers claimed it was a random act of violence, an idea hatched because they were bored. Players, coaches and students are visibly shaken. Friends and family are broken. Two-hundred and seventy-five miles away in Commerce, elbows lean against the Coke machine and simply can't understand why.
Nearly two thousand Augusts earlier, elbows of about 70 men who followed a rabbi named Jesus leaned against fig trees awaiting the harvest. Their teacher told them to leave their chores and go to a real harvest field — hurting people who needed to hear a message of a God who loves and is gracious. The Creator of the universe had a purpose for everyone and is ushering in a kingdom. They were to tell the people to prepare for it by repenting — turning from a life that didn't care about the future, that gave no thought to the feelings of others, that conjured up sinful acts just because.
Their mission was to carry good news until the end of the age.
Perhaps if we did a better job of carrying good news, we wouldn't have to be burdened by so much bad news. Perhaps then the folks in Commerce could talk about a boy in pinstripes playing in the Bronx instead of a boy in a casket.

The update has been seeded to developers, but has yet to be made available to the public.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 delivers everything casual tablet users will need, but it's all tied down to an inflated price tag that makes comparable options more attractive to budget-conscious shoppers.
The 10-incher is another moderate Windows 8.1 release in HP's latest lineup of slates.
The Windows 8.1-powered laptop comes with a snap-on microscope lens as well as a temperature probe for use in science experiments.

In addition to speeding up its flagship interchangeable-lens model, Nikon debuts a power-zoom kit lens and a telephoto zoom for its CX mount.
The latest iPad adds several tweaks and improvements to secure its position at the top of the tablet heap. It's better all around, but third-gen owners need not apply.
With a large sensor and high-quality lens, the RX10 promises great photo quality. But its feature set may not match what many folks are looking for.
As it's a free upgrade that gives you more apps, improved features across the board, and better performance, there is really no reason not to get Mavericks on your Mac.

First Look at an Apple G4 with the Altivec Processor
When I first read about Apple's plans to develop a G4-based personal computer, I didn't even know what a G4 was. Supercomputer performance? Processing in the GFlops? How could this be? G4, also known as the Motorola 7400, is the processor with the AltiVec unit. AltiVec is the trade name of the vector processing unit found in this new line of PowerPC processors. Motorola has also announced the 7410 and the 7450, which feature an L2 cache on the die, a large backside L3 cache, a faster processor core and a deeper, seven-stage pipeline.
The AltiVec unit is an enhanced integer or floating processing unit. It provides a new 128-bit processing unit, 32 vector registers and over 160 new instructions that allow for the processing of data in a pipeline. These provide a tremendous opportunity to move data through the processor.
After a description like that, who wouldn't want to have one of these at home? I'm not a Macintosh aficinado nor do I care for Windows very much. When I read about the work that Cort Dugan, Paul Mackerras, Ben Herrenschmidt and many others had performed porting Linux to PowerPC (PPC) I was sold. After all, this sounded like an opportunity to try something new and challenging, learn a little (or a lot) and get faster numbers from my distributed.net client (some of the reasons I started using Linux last millennium).
My hardware is an Apple dual-G4/450MHz PowerPC with 512MB RAM. It comes with a 30GB Quantum Fireball IDE drive, a CD/DVD-ROM, two IEEE-1394 (Firewire interfaces), 100Mbps Ethernet and more USB hubs than you can shake a stick at. The keyboard and mouse are both USB devices. Apple calls this a New World machine. Although this sounds like a marketing term, "New World" is used to describe Apple hardware where the boot ROM is stored in software (as opposed to "Old World" machines where boot management software was stored in a PROM).
The Linux distribution I chose to install was Yellow Dog Linux. I don't know what finally pushed me in that direction, given that there is more than one choice—SuSE, LinuxPPC and Yellow Dog Linux immediately come to mind. YDL is based on Red Hat, so it's not too unfamiliar.
YDL is provided by Terra Soft Solutions. While Terra Soft provides another distribution, Black Lab Linux, YDL is the entry point solution for the common user. I downloaded the two ISO images of YDL Champion Server 1.2.1 from one of Terra Soft's mirrors. The first is the installation CD; the second CD is known as "Tasty Morsels". It provides a rescue image and some additional software for the PPC. I burned these images with cdrecord on my SuSE/i386 box and then wondered what I had.
After I read the YDL installation guide I had some idea. The guide suggested I use yaboot, "yet another boot loader". yaboot needs to live on an HFS (native Mac) partition so I needed to create one using the Mac system software.
Here are the steps I used to reinstall Mac OS9 and then install Linux:
Create an HFS partition (4GB) for yaboot (and OS9).
Reinstall OS9 from distribution CDs.
From the CS 1.2.1 CD, copy yaboot, yaboot.conf and vmlinux.gz to the system folder.
yaboot.conf looks and feels a lot like lilo.conf. There are sections for each image with an area to provide a label so that when yaboot boots, the user can Tab to see the names of the kernel configurations and then select one at the prompt. Familiar stuff, but I had to modify yaboot.conf as shown below.
Here I should digress a bit about Open Firmware. Open Firmware, defined under IEEE 1275, is a specification for providing open support for firmware. This was one of the first interesting areas of my new Apple hardware explorations. I didn't see Open Firmware until I needed to. Upon booting the Mac an 880Hz tone sounds to indicates that your system just passed a hardware POST and is preparing to boot an operating system. At this point the booting process can be stopped by pressing and holding the Command-Opt-O-F keys. If all goes well the following greeting is displayed:
Apple PowerMac 3,3 3.4f1 BootROM built on 08/08/00 at 22:02:19 Copyright 1994-2000 Apple Computer, Inc. Welcome to Open Firmware. To continue booting, type "mac-boot" and press return To shut down, type "shut-down" and press return ok 0 > _
The 0 > is a prompt. OF is, at its heart, a Forth interpreter. Forth is a stack-based language. To obtain a sense of this, type the following at the prompt:
0 > 3 [RETURN] 1 > 4 [RETURN] 2 > + [RETURN] 1 > . [RETURN]and you will get the resulting:
0 > 7The first command pushed "3" on the stack. The prompt displays the number of items on the stack before the ">". Then I placed "4" on the stack and told the interpreter to add the results. Now there was only one item on the stack. The "." operator pops the first value off of the stack and displays it.
You can see quite a bit about your hardware from here. For example, to see the default boot configuration of your machine type the following at the prompt:
0 > printenv
Listing 1 shows the built-in environment variables and their defaults.
Listing 1. Environment Variables and Their Defaults from the G4's Open Fireware
Another good bit of information from your PPC can be derived from the command devalias. Enter this command at the prompt and press the Return key. Pay attention to the value for hd. That is the hardware address of your first IDE hard drive. hd is an alias for the entire address displayed via printenv.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

State officials have picked three Nebraska cities to help develop so-called "power parks" designed to attract data centers, high-tech companies and businesses that use a lot of power.
Gov. Dave Heineman announced on Wednesday that Aurora, Kearney and South Sioux City have been selected to participate in the new initiative and will each receive up to $50,000 in federal funds to plan the parks.
Data centers, for example, are major users of electricity, requiring 100 to 200 watts or more of power per square foot.
A small facility of 10,000 square feet typically uses more power than a small community.
Officials in each city will work with the Nebraska Department of Economic Development to develop the sites.

Press release: Pat McQuaid welcomes nomination from Swiss Cycling
UCI President Pat McQuaid has welcomed his endorsement by Swiss Cycling to stand again as a candidate for President of the UCI in September 2013.
Mr McQuaid said: "I am delighted that the board of Swiss Cycling has endorsed my nomination."
He continued: "I put myself forward to serve another term as UCI President on my record of developing the sport throughout the world and on combating the scourge of doping in cycling.
"I have an ambitious agenda to continue developing the sport. I look forward to presenting myself for election with the support of Swiss Cycling and other federations worldwide.
"I took up residency in Switzerland in 2005 when I assumed the role of UCI President and I have had a long association with Swiss Cycling.
"It has become clear that my nomination in Ireland has been politicised by a small group of people.
However, I have received a wealth of letters from national federations all around the world urging me to stand for President again and I strongly believe that it should be for our national federations around the world to decide democratically on their next president."

Reading here on the FEAR how AMC suits have decided once again to cut THE ALREADY SHORT season 3 of THE WALKING DEAD into 2 segments as they did last year. My opinion is that these jackasses want people tuning in throughout the year. Do you notice that they dont split MAD MEN in half nor any of the other series? Probably cause the corksoakers dont want to alienate and drive away, by their obvious media usury, the mainstream audience. However, us horror heads are just second rate shitbags that are just kinda an "extra" audience that they may be able to get to watch their other shit. Maybe horror heads should start emailing AMC and tell them they dont appreciate it. On the FEARnet article, I wrote the stuff below. I hate being led around like Im too dumb to notice. . . . .
"Robert Kirkman recently told TVLine. 'Getting eight-and-eight will almost be like doing two seasons a year, which is cool." Kirkman is a MORON. It does NOT feel/look/seem like they are doing "two seasons a year", it feels like the cheap, conniving bassREtards are stringing along the fans like salivating dogs. Heres where my loyalty to the show stops. I understand the "strategy" of trying to keep fans watching AMC but any normal person should hate this kind of manipulation. Unlike a dog, I dont need to balance a biscuit on my nose until I get the permission to eat it.
So, Im just venting out loud. What do you guys think.

Buick Century Maintenance and Repair
Anyone else having problems with electric window switches? I have replaced 2 on the driver's window already, with only 7000 miles.
irok1953 Posts: 1ONE YEAR AGO----1/03--- THE A/C WOULD NOT SHUT OFF, EVEN WITH THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. OF COURSE IT RAN OUT THE BATTERY. WHEN TOWED TO BUICK DEALER IN PEMBROKE PINES, FL. I ASKED TO HAVE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FULLY CHECKED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, SO IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. SERVICE MGR. SWORE IT WAS CHECKED AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. JUST RECHARGED BATTERY. NOW 1 YEAR LATER SAME PROBLEM AND I NEED A NEW BATTERY.

some crack on windshield
from a used car dealer
he is firm at $6100
KBB trade is $4900 Private party $6900
Edmunds Trade in $5600 private party $6800
What's you guys opinion about this?
Is that a reasonale price?
Which particular part should pay special attention when mechanical check?
thanks much!
occupant1 Posts: 408I wouldn't pay that much for a 2000 model. 2003 models are selling for under $10,000 in the Dallas area. 2002 models I have seen for $6995 advertised, with 50-60K miles on tham. With those miles and that year, IMO it's worth about $4000-$4500. Remember the windshield will cost $200-$400 to fix (used or new part is the price difference)
nancy2 Posts: 1Bought new and are having a problem with "jerking" when proceeding from a stop. The dealership says they have never had a problem like this come into their shop. It does it every once in awhile so when taken out for test drives it behaves like normal. Has anyone ever had this occur and if so what was the solution?
bernie3 Posts: 48I have a '98 Buick Century and occasionally the ABS warning light is on when the car is started. It might happen one time in ten. It never comes on except when the car is started and when it does come on, it does not go out while driving or flicker on & off. There is no noticeable effect on braking.
I've had previous cars where the engine service light occasionally came on and a mechanic could find no reason for it. Anybody else had an intermittent ABS warning light problem?
rkw2 Posts: 66I have a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. It seemed as though I was putting more mileage on this car than on my other cars. Last week I checked the trip odometer against mileage markers on the Parkway. Sure enough my odometer was showing 2.1 miles at the 2 mileage markers (a 5% difference). Does anyone know how to get it corrected. There are federal regulations against messing around with odometers. My car is leased and this could put me over my mileage limit and at $.15 per mile this could cost me at the end of my lease.
I parked, took my keys out and my car kept beeping as if my keys were not extracted! I had to disconnect my battery to get my lights to go off! Not only my head lights were on after I took out keys but also my taillights When I pushed lock botton my lights would not go off ? Any clue????
dekester Posts: 322My father has a 97 Century Custom and the headlights are turning milky on the top half. I tried to polish the outside with some plastic polish and it smoothed out the roughness, but it looks like the main problem is inside.
Any solutions? I'm contemplating going to a salvage yard to see if I can pick up a set that are not affected.
ralz Posts: 1I have a 1998 buick custom century. I am having problems with the right side blinker light. The left side works like it is suppose to, however, the right side clicks really fast(not normal speed) and does not show up in the light indicator of the instrument panel. Outside front right side lights do not blink at all. Only the back right side is blinking but very fast. I have tried replacing the light bulbs for the front and back lights and replaced the fuse, but none of this seems to work. I would greatly appreciate any advise in fixing this problem. thanks, ralz
jsharrow Posts: 1I have a 2000 Buick Century that has an electrical problem that is causing the low/high beam light not to work. I have taken the headlight out of this car and tested them on my 2002 Buick Century. The light worked good on my 2002 Buick. I also took the headlight switch out of my 2000 Buick and put it in my 2002 Buick and it worked correctly. I have checked the 20 amp fuse and the two 15 amp fuses and they were ok. If I hold the high beam switch on the high beam lights will come on. The parking light and daytime light work correctly. Does any body know where the Running control module is for this vehicle??? Also where is the Daytime running lamps ambient light senor?? Any suggestions to trouble shoot this problem would be appreciated.
cjb2486 Posts: 26My father has a '98 Century with about 40k miles. A few months ago, it mysteriously began not starting. Every few weeks, when you turn the key, nothing happens -- no cranking, nothing. However, an hour later it starts with no problems. Of course the mechanics can't find any trouble codes or anything else. The battery is new.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you.
jkenny Posts: 1Hey Joel, I have the same exact problem on our 2000 Buick Century. I took it to the dealer and they charged us $150 to tell us that it is probably the light switch and it would cost $711 to replace it. I told the service manager he was out of his mind. I took the headlamp assemblies apart and swapped the high beams to the outside position. We now leave the high beam switch on for the time being, although the light is now diffused inside the assemblies. I just bought a new switch for $70 and I'd like to know how difficult it was to change it out. Thanks, John
Mine had that problem, best I can figure, it was the injectors sticking shut. I was a die hard fan of cheap speedway gas, never gave me a problem till this car. Now if I use it, every other tank I get an injector that sticks shut and engine runs like crap. Switched to Shell, no problems since.
Dealerships will tell you it's probably the switch arm ($400). Mine started doing that on the right, and then progressed to the right. After switch arm $400, main electronics $500, new bulbs $20 and many hours of labor, they got it fixed. Luckily it was under warranty so out of pocket was only $50 total
susieq723 Posts: 1Hi, Did you ever find out the problem with your Buick, Century? I am having a similar problem. When I accelerate and the car is trying to switch gears, it jerks. The only way to get this to stop is to turn the car off, remove the key (disengage the electric part) I believe it is an electrical problem, because the car will reset itself after the key has been removed, and one of the doors has been opened. I hope I have explained this. Thank-you

Ahh, a surprise – more Hendrix in the studio. Of late a lot of in-concert Hendrix has surfaced; the full-side each on the Woodstock sets, the Isle of Wight performance on Columbia's Rock Festivals set, the in-concert movie of Hendrix at Berkeley, as well as an English in-concert film with an accompanying soundtrack LP.
But Hendrix on stage and Hendrix in the studio are two animals of pretty divergent cellular structure. His later concerts involved a lot of extended instrumental jamming, as well as demonstrating his total mastery not only of the guitar, but of all its electronic accomplices like wah-wah pedals, fuzz tones, and reverb amps – he was able to recreate on stage most of the effects that were born in the studio. His knowledge of the electronic technology was amazing, and he utilized it to stretch the limits of sound experience – a tape-mixing console would definitely have to be listed as one of the instruments he was proficient on. He wasn't into effect for gimmick value alone – it was always a part of a larger tapestry, and many of the innovations he made early use of (like track-panning, where the guitar swoops back and forth from channel to channel) are now standard procedure in album mixing. So, a Hendrix studio album showcases more than just his music alone – it's his music in a special electronic frame, custom cut to size.
But, Rainbow Bridge (Reprise MS2040) is billed as a "sound track album," so the question arises, what is a sound track? Is it an aural footpath? A mere vibration trail? Or the coalesced imaginings of an astral projectionist? In most cases, sound track albums seem designed as take-home souvenirs of a media experience, relying on deja-vu and memory flashes to recreate visceral emotions in the privacy of your head; it serves as a psychic tap, reopening emotions planted by the original cinematic experience.
With this album, that's not how it is, but just in case you care, here's where you can drive the first piton in your attempt on the summit of the understanding of the place of this album in the cosmic scheme of things; it's the music heard in a movie that you may never ever see.
Rainbow Bridge has been billed as a "spiritual candy store" – it's a cinema verite-styled exploration of aspects of one woman's metaphysical searchings – which include scenes at the Rainbow Bridge Occult Center in Maui, as well as a Hendrix concert on the side of a volcano. Apparently, aside from the concert, Hendrix appears only briefly in the flick, doing a surreal rap, parts of which are reprinted with a high degree of illegibility on the inside of the jacket. At last report the film had been only shown once in England (reviewers were puzzled, to say the least), and as yet has no distributor – so it may not be seen for a long, long time. But that's cool, the album exists as an entity all by itself. My suggestion would be to listen to it and then make up your own movie – it'll probably be a lot more relevant to what you're up to anyway.
The album opens with "Dolly Dagger," a track that was billed as the next Hendrix single at the time of his death (it is now indeed a single). It's based on a typical Hendrix rhythm riff and sawtooth rising chorus – "She's so heavy she'll make you stagger . . . she drinks her blood from the jagged edge " – a tale of a warp-nine chick told with drive and morse-code pulsing guitar lines – what a groove this would be on the highway at 3 AM! "Earth Blues" features a chorus that includes the Ronettes (the Ronettes?) – they sing a descending line of "Love, love, love" as Hendrix weaves a spacy soul version of a "we-gotta-get-it-together" lyric – this has the sound of Electric Church music that Hendrix spoke of trying to build.
"Pali Gap" is a studio cut, despite the title – it features Hendrix's one-time mentor Juma Edwards on percussion. (Backing throughout the album is mostly just bass and drums, Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell respectively.) This is an instrumental that reflects the jazz-like explorations that Hendrix was getting into for awhile, when he was in Woodstock – it was cut July 1st, 1970, along with two other tracks included here. It flows in waves, rippling like wine running slowly down dusk-lit marble stones.
The next track, "Room Full Of Mirrors," was written around the time of Hendrix's Toronto bust and features Buddy Miles on drums. The overdubbed guitars swoop into glass-edged regions as Hendrix sings "I used to live in a room full of mirrors, now the whole world is there for me to see." The first side ends with a really majestic version of the "Star Spangled Banner." In concert this became a vehicle for commentary, as Hendrix's guitar created the sounds of sirens, bombs and guns (in the Berkeley movie his performance is inter-cut with shots of Berkeley riots). This is an early version, utilizing only guitars, overdubbed in three or four layers. It was cut in March, 1969, and though there is anger and chaos there, it hadn't yet become rage – this version is almost stately, you can't help but soar a bit with it, no matter what connotations the melody has placed on you.

I enjoyed my facial with Bette, time around the pool and relaxing in the lounge.

I wonder when Rockstar finally break the mold and put a strong female lead in GTA. I don't understand why they haven't done it yet as I think it presents a great opportunity for something truly fresh. I think the main problem is that while women are great part of the developers community it's still very much a "boy's club" and most developer make a lead character that they can identify with.
Now before you say that women just don't have the aggressive nature of men or the metal strength then just go a google Sandra Avila Beltran, Xie Caiping, Judy Moran, and last but not least Griselda Blanco.
What do you guys think. Would you like to see Rockstar having a go at this subject?
I know most answers would be a NO because this site is a total sausage fest but wouldn't like to see something new to that tired old formula?
