Ten Years Ago in Linux Journal: July 1995
Kids today have it pretty easy. Ten years ago, we needed half a magazine merely to get the basics going. Greg Lehsy's tutorial on configuring XFree86 included a helpful "How to Fry Your Monitor" section, covering things not to do. Configuring wasn't just a matter of editing a tweaky config file—it was a matter of editing a tweaky config file that, if you got it wrong, would destroy your hardware.
We also reviewed two proprietary X server packages with graphical configuration utilities. Both Metro-X and Accelerated-X came up and ran without editing any text.
Dean Oisboid surveyed games for Linux, including the classic Adventure and the BSD games. He ran into a little trouble with Id Software's Doom: "I just wanted to play Doom with sound. Having to recompile the kernel just to get sound had to be insane, but it seemed that this simple yearning for Doom had to develop into a learning experience." One quick compilation tutorial later, "It worked!"
Advertisers offered everything from full systems to mouse pads and T-shirts. A Burgess Shale of distribution ads included Yggdrasil Plug & Play Linux; Slackware; a Pacific HiTech set with four distributions including Debian; Caldera Network Desktop, which was still based on Red Hat; SoftCraft Linux; LinuxWare from Trans-Ameritech; and S.u.S.E., still with all four periods. PromoX advertised a 100MHz Pentium system with 16MB of RAM and a 540MB hard drive for $2,500.
Crimson Fields:
This 2-D turn-based game offers many strategy choices, no icky blood and guts and lots of challenging maps. You control an army of tanks, helicopters, artillery and other units, and each map gives you a different set of units to command and different victory conditions. The project Web site has a tutorial on creating your own maps too.
The interface is slick and the code is rock solid. Play "hot seat" with two players taking turns, by e-mail or against the computer.
The AI is merciless, even where its own units are concerned. Sometimes you can hold a defensive line against a crowd of computer units and pick off the ones in the middle using artillery. The AI doesn't seem smart enough to fall back to a better position.
Crimson Fields is based on the popular Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL), a library that you probably already have on your system to support other games.
On the Web
We're counting on our readers even more this year to participate in the Readers' Choice Awards, and voting will happen in two stages. By the time you read this, "First-Round Voting in 2005 Readers' Choice Awards" (www.linuxjournal.com/article/8266) will be underway on the Linux Journal Web site. The final ballot will be based on the results of that initial ballot. Final voting will take place in July, and the winners will be announced in the November 2005 issue of Linux Journal. As the name says, these are the LJ Readers' Choice Awards, so get on over to the Web site, read the nomination list and send us your votes!
For complete information, details and dates regarding the 2005 Readers' Choice Awards, read "New Procedures for 2005 Readers' Choice Awards" (www.linuxjournal.com/article/8192).
Back in November 2004, Michael Boerner reviewed two of gumstix's tiny little SBCs, built around the Intel XScale PXA255 chip with Linux onboard. Since then, gumstix's product line has expanded, and Michael is following its progress in a two-part review to be featured on the Linux Journal Web site. He tells us, "My last review focused on the waysmall computer (WS200-bt) and its components, as well as using it and its different elements, such as Bluetooth." This set of reviews focuses on the revised unit, with the addition of Ethernet, the new audio, breakout and external Flash storage modules and actually using the units for embedded applications. In "Testing and Building with the New gumstix SBCs, Part 1" (www.linuxjournal.com/article/8268), Boerner looks at these gumstix components: gumstix connex, a 10-100baseT wired etherstix and a waysmall board, which converts the gumstix unit into a waysmall computer.
They Said It
"Everybody in Mali uses Linux." That is no doubt a bit of an exaggeration, but it's a phrase that you'd hear only in a flat world.
—Tom Friedman, in The World is Flat: A Brief History of the 21st Century
A telemedicine centre was installed in Segou and Sikasso, regional capitals of Mali, to improve the ability of these medical centres to both communicate and provide quality medical information. These systems are also being used for "tele-radiology", where these centres can scan an x-ray, then transmit it to specialists in Europe or the United States for a second opinion.
—Geekcorps Mali, mali.geekcorps.org/article.php3?id_article=52
The capability of computers keeps growing and the number of applications running keeps increasing. The people building the interface keep growing the complexity of that. It's not for lack of effort but the software people are losing ground.
—Gordon Moore, blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/index.php?p=1264
You know, Richard [Stallman] is in many ways a walking advertisement for the advantages of not compromising—when you have a long-term goal whose achievement requires dogged long-term effort over decades.
The promise of open source is to eliminate the choice of products and increase the choice of vendors. Examples: Red Hat, CentOS, Lineox, Tao Linux, Progeny, SUSE, Mandrake, Conectiva, Ubuntu (Canonical), Xandros, Lycoris, Knoppix, Debian. This is the paradox of open source.
—Røml Lefkowitz, from a presentation at the Open Source Business Summit
diff -u: What's New in Kernel Development
Linux kernel development is in the process of creating a new push for stability. Greg Kroah-Hartman and Chris Wright have volunteered to maintain a tightly controlled stable tree. The stable trees of the old days would alternate with development trees in cycles measured in years. This new stable tree will exist concurrently with the development tree and will consist solely of important bug fixes. So the 2.6.11 kernel release from Linus Torvalds has been followed by 18.104.22.168, 188.8.131.52 and additional stabilizing releases from Greg and Chris. Even after 2.6.12 is released, the 2.6.11.z tree may continue to stabilize, even as 18.104.22.168 comes out, and so on. Unlike previous stable series, whose maintainers had wide latitude to choose which patches to accept, there are strict rules over what can go into this new stable branch. Even the method of considering patches, and the time between patch submissions and patch acceptance or rejection, is tightly regulated. The stable tree has been dubbed by Linus, the "sucker" tree, because he felt no one in his or her right mind would take on the burden of maintaining it. Chris and Greg have risen to the challenge, and the process is itself still undergoing changes in all aspects. But it does appear that stability is once again a serious target of Linux development.
The SysFS filesystem recently felt a pang of uncertainty. One of the driving forces behind its development always has been to replace the chaos and historical baggage of ProcFS with something clean and sane. The developers hoped that, given a fresh start, the old mistakes could be avoided. Recently, however, kernel folks realized that one of the SysFS directories had been put in the wrong place: /sys/block, it was felt, should really have been /sys/class/block instead. Too late! A great mass of user code already had come to rely on the existing directory location. Greg Kroah-Hartman reluctantly had to admit that the SysFS inconsistency could not be repaired. The first spot of age has appeared on the pristine face of SysFS.
SquashFS continues to try for kernel inclusion and continues to come up short, and its principal developer, Phillip Lougher, grows more and more frustrated. One obstacle appears to be cultural: the kernel developers would like to hear convincing reasons in favor of inclusion; while Phillip has been, as he's said, more concerned with coding the filesystem than selling it. Other obstacles are more technical. Currently, for example, SquashFS has a file size limit of 4GB. Of course, because SquashFS is a compressed filesystem, this really amounts to about 8MB of actual data. Also, it recently was pointed out that readdir() does not return either the ./ or ../ directories for SquashFS, as it does for virtually all standard filesystems. These and other problems continue to thwart efforts to get SquashFS into the standard kernel.
FUSE (Filesystem in USErspace) seems to be on the brink of getting into the main kernel tree, after spending quite a while in Andrew Morton's -mm branch. FUSE has had a rough life, with Linus Torvalds saying for a long time that he thought a user-space filesystem was just inherently a bad idea that never would go anywhere. But, FUSE apparently is turning into the little engine that could and even its detractors are having to step aside. Andrew is turning into a strong proponent and seems ready at last to push it along to Linus.
Several projects have changed hands recently, or their maintainers have become officially recognized for the first time. Pete Zaitcev has been listed as maintainer for both the USB block driver and the Yamaha PCI sound driver. Herbert Xu has replaced James Morris as co-maintainer of the kernel crypto API. And Gerd Knorr has stepped down as the Video4Linux maintainer, leaving that project currently unmaintained.
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.

North Jefferson News
American Christian Academy put a scare into Fultondale with two second-quarter touchdowns in a 14-second span. But the Wildcats came back with two touchdowns each from ArDarius Stewart and Khyree Robinson, to score a 38-16 win and break a two-game losing streak.
Stewart, an Alabama commitment playing within a stone's throw of Bryant-Denny Stadium, scored on a 9-yard run in the second quarter and a 1-yard plunge in the third.
The Patriots scored on two successive 5-yard passes from Austin Mohlenbrok to Josh Gilliland. The second came about when Fultondale fumble the kickoff reception after the first, giving ACA the ball on the Wildcat 5.
Robinson's scoring plays were a bit more spectacular, as he broke for a 57-yard TD run to give the Wildcats the lead for good early in the second half. He also scored on a 33-yard dash in the fourth.
Scherrod Brown got the Wildcats' final touchdown on a 3-yard run late in the game.
"Give Fultondale a ton of credit. They're a physical football team," ACA coach John Causey said. "They came out and it was a physical game. When you make mistakes against a good football team, you get yourself in a hole and you can't get out of it."
Place kicker Enrique Aguilar was a perfect 5-for-5 in extra points, and also kicked a 34-yard field goal, his longest to date.
Stewart ran 21 times for 125 yards, while Robinson had 106 yards on eight carries, and Brown gained 72 yards on eight carries. Overall, Fultondale rushed for 332 yards, and held the Patriots to just 34 rushing yards.
Stewart was 2-for-7 in passing with one interception. He alternated at quarterback with Kris Lewis, who was 3-for-5. Stewart was on the receiving end of all of Lewis' completions, and vice versa.
Julian Hardy had two solo tackles and six assists to lead the defense for the Wildcats (3-2). Freshman Kaleb Lawson had three tackles, but one was a sack and two were for losses.
Mohlenbrok was 15-for-27 passing for 126 yards for ACA (3-2).
Fultondale returns to region play at home Friday night against Pleasant Valley.
Morgan Upton of The Tuscaloosa News contributed to this report.

Teacher Effectiveness Bill and NCLB Waiver
Implications of the Teacher Effectiveness Bill and the NCLB Waiver Application
When LD 1858 the educator effectiveness bill passed, many of the details were missing from the bill. Some of the details will be addressed in substantive rule-making by the Maine Department of Education. The rule-making will be informed by the efforts of the Maine Educator Effectiveness Council (MEEC). The MEA has four representatives on MEEC. Lewiston teacher, Susan Grondin, RSU 18 teacher, Mary Paine, RSU 54 teacher, John Soifer; and RSU 51 teacher and MEA Vice President, Grace Leavitt serve as MEA's appointees. Their work will continue throughout the year.
The Maine DOE is also pursuing a waiver from some of the No Child Left Behind requirements. The work done by MEEC will advance the waiver application. Susan Grondin's summary of MEEC's work to date is included in this article. Two other workgroups were established to provide input for the waiver application. Amanda Cooper is MEA's representative on the Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO) workgroup. Joyce Blakney serves as MEA's representative on the Interventions and Support (I&S) workgroup. Amanda's and Joyce's summary of their work and its implications are also included.

The Port Arthur News
The choirs from Sam Houston and Booker T. Washington Elementary Schools recently participated in the Children's Music Festival of Houston. The judges' critiques of both choirs were quite complimentary and consisted of comments that are generally reserved for choirs that are rated as "Superior." Students received certificates of participation and the choirs received trophies. On April 18th, Mrs. Arceneaux was notified by email that the Sam Houston choir also won the "Bravo Award for Outstanding Behavior During Entire Festival" and that special award is forthcoming! We thank Mrs. Houston and Mrs. Arceneaux for all the work they put into after-school preparation of our children for this event. We also thank Mrs. Sprayberry for providing the piano accompaniment for both choirs, the principals and parents for their support, and the students for being so teachable (in all respects).
The District held the Parent Involvement, Volunteer and Sponsor reception on Tuesday, April 19, at the Lamar State College-Port Arthur Carl Parker Center. The reception honors those that give of their time unselfishly to our students. The guest speaker of the afternoon was Barbara Babineaux, mother of NFL players, Jordan and Joshua Babineaux. Her message of persistence in spite of adversity was the highlight of the reception. The mother of five lost her husband almost 20 years ago and though she struggled, she stayed true to her faith and to her duty as a parent and a provider for her children. Today, all five of them are college graduates and very successful.
We thank our volunteers and sponsors for their dedication to our students. We know that often times being a volunteer or sponsor is a thankless job, but we want to personally thank you for all that you do for our District. We would also like to thank Mrs. Babineaux for that moving speech. Babineaux, as well as her five children, are all products of PAISD and a testament to what our District can produce. Lastly, we would like to thank Assistant Superintendent for Administration and Support Services, Melvin Getwood; Coordinator of Parent Involvement and Professional Learning, Dr. LaWanda Finney and their staff for coordinating this wonderful event. The community always looks forward to it every year.
Many performers come to the Southeast Texas area. The Southern University concert band performed a concert at Memorial High on April 20th. Southern University was founded April 1, 1880 in New Orleans, Louisiana and later moved to its current location in Baton Rouge in 1914. The program was well organized and the band students demonstrated a "touch of class" that could only benefit all of those who were in attendance. The band was outstanding and as a special treat, Memorial choir director, Glenda Alfred, sang a piece for the audience. We thank Fine Arts Supervisor, Marjorie Cole; Memorial High Band Director, Trent Johnson and Memorial High principal, Ramona Lee for their assistance with this event.
Every teacher in PAISD is special, but there are some that stand out from the rest. Each year, our campuses elect a "Teacher of the Year" and "Rookie of the Year" and out of that group, a District-wide elementary and secondary teacher of the year is selected. This year, we had a phenomenal group of campus teachers. On Thursday, April 21st, the District held their "Teacher of the Year" breakfast at the Holiday Inn Park Central. The District-wide "Teachers of the Year" were presented for the first time to a packed crowd. The 2011-2012 elementary "Teacher of the Year" is Marcie Guarnere, a Pre-K teacher at Tyrrell Elementary and the secondary "Teacher of the Year" is Karen Moore, an English/Language Arts/Reading seventh grade teacher at Abraham Lincoln Middle. We congratulate all of our "Teachers of the Year" as the honors are well deserving. We continue to boast having the best teachers in the State of Texas and this proves it.
The District was closed for the Good Friday holiday on Friday, April 22nd.
Dr. Johnny E. Brown is the Superintendent of Schools for the Port Arthur Independent School District.

Beavers complete marathon challenge for cancer charity (From St Albans & Harpenden Review)

Wick Wood Beavers from the 18th St Albans Scout Group complete The Cheeky Monkey Marathon for charity Children with Cancer
Updated 1:53pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in News By Charlotte Ikonen
A group from St Albans has raised over £1,000 for charity after completing 26 challenges in one hour.
Wick Wood Beavers from the 18th St Albans Scout Group took on The Cheeky Monkey Marathon Challenge earlier this month, which involves choosing a challenge based around the number 26 - for the number of miles run in a marathon.
The group chose to fundraise for the charity Children with Cancer, a charity that works to give children a better chance in their fight against all types of cancer.
Wick Wood leader Stuart Smart found out about Children with Cancer and said: "With only an hour to get through their challenges, the evening didn't get off to the greatest start as the leaders struggled to arrive through the stormy weather and reached the hut with only a minute or two to spare before the challenges started.
"Luckily, the Beavers were geared up and ready to go and immediately got stuck into searching for 26 words in a wordsearch, running 26 laps of the hall or trying to name something for every letter of the alphabet. Even the leaders and young leaders took on a challenge each to help raise as much money as possible."
A hut was set up with four rooms each containing different types of challenges - physical, mental, mystery and skill.
The Beavers moved from room to room completing challenges and collecting gold stars for completing the challenges. Other challenges included scoring 26 goals against a leader, moving 26 grapes using chopsticks and making sure a list of sums all equalled the number 26.
Dean Stinton, head of direct marketing at Children with Cancer said: "A huge thank you to Wick Wood Beavers for their hard work, commitment and dedication. Without the support of schools, guides and scout groups we could not continue our vital work to help save young lives. Every participating child will receive a fantastically fun Cheeky Monkey souvenir as a thank you for their efforts."

Matthew Herper, Forbes Staff
I cover science and medicine, and believe this is biology's century.
Over the last decade, no chief executive of a big pharmaceutical company performed as well as Daniel Vasella of Novartis. Under his tenure, the company thrived on mass-market medicines like the blood pressure drug Diovan even as it pioneered targeted cancer drugs.
Vasella had left the chief executive post in 2010, but remained Novartis' chairman. When he made that move, my colleague Robert Langreth called him "Big Pharma's Best Chief" and wrote:
Early in his tenure Vasella combined two struggling Swiss drug companies (Ciba-Geigy and Sandoz) and turned them into an international drug powerhouse; it is one of the few major drug company mergers that has gone relatively smoothly. One of the few medical doctors to lead a big drug company, Vasella saw potential in a new leukemia drug called Gleevec when others were skeptical. It is now Novartis' second- biggest-selling drug. More recently, as the market for mass-market pills has gone south, Vasella used acquisitions to diversify into vaccines and generic drugs. Other companies have since made similar moves.
Vasella was replaced as chief executive by Joseph Jimenez, now 53, a former Heinz executive who had headed Novartis' marketing. Passed over was Jorg Reinhardt, the researcher who had been Vasella's top lieutenant. Vasella said at the time that it was "very tough" to break the news to his old friend that he would not be getting the chief executive job, and Reinhardt left to head Bayer's healthcare unit.
This morning, Bayer announced that Reinhardt, 56, is leaving, and Novartis said that he is returning to take the chairman role. He returns to Novartis as it goes through what pharma insiders call a patent cliff: Novartis sales will be flat this year, the company said, as Diovan goes off patent. It expects sales to grow in the mid-single digits in 2014 and 2015.
"The relationship will be very positive," Jimenez said told Bloomberg Television. "Joerg and I go way back. We've worked together. He knows the company well. Between the two of us, with Joerg managing the board and managing governance, and me managing the business and the operation, I think it will be a good relationship."
So far, Jimenez's tenure has been marked by dealing with the integration of the Alcon eye care business and manufacturing problems in Novartis' consumer division. It will be interesting to see how he and Reinhardt do at managing the shifting pricing and increasingly difficult R&D that are the new reality for all big pharmaceutical firms.
What's next for Vasella?
I had several chances to meet with Joerg and found him to have a key quality that served him well then, and I believe will be key going into this well-deserved role. That is, he was interested in everything – not just his specialties. That level of focus and curiosity is something I seldom found in LS leadership elsewhere. Best of luck to him and the firm.
My son is a survivor of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia because of unselfish champions like Dan Vasella. Me and my son was fortunate to have met him when he visited the Philippines in 2011 and he showed compassion and true concern towards people. Long live the King!
One wonders if now more than ever, Big pharma shall increasingly rely more and more on research and less on marketing?

Bombay Palace told to close during building work
10:07am Saturday 24th November 2012 in News By Lawrence Dunhill
AN Indian restaurant in High Wycombe has been told to close while building work is carried out.
Expansion work is being completed at Bombay Palace in Crendon Street this week, and joint owner Kazi Islam told the Bucks Free Press: "While the builder was working the council wasn't happy to keep it open....They just feel it's not right to open the restaurant while we complete the job."
He expects to reopen next week.
Wycombe District Council said in a statement: "Following a routine inspection on Monday, Wycombe District Council's environmental health officers closed Bombay Palace because the premises posed a risk to health.
"We are now waiting to hear from the food business operators about how and when they propose to address these risks. The premises will remain closed until such time that we are satisfied that they no longer pose a risk to public health."

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ErikaMayMendez Great mattress Eco conscious, this mattress is good looking, firm and baby sleeps comfortable. June 30, 2009
Rated 3 out of 5 by PrincessAnoke It's too long! I bought the Cube 2.0 crib. When the mattress is placed inside, it's too long so I can't use my bumper. The width is okay. I know that the mattress is too long because my fitted sheet (organic one from Giggle) as well as the waterproof pad (also from Giggle) is a tight fit around the mattress. I do like that it's light and still firm. I am hoping it will last until my daughter becomes a toddler. Just make sure when you purchase the mattress that it will fit both the crib, with or without the bumper as the fitted sheet you purchased. November 7, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by wls0626 Great mattress Lightweight which makes it easy to change the sheets, especially in the middle of the night! A bit pricey, but we decided to splurge on this, and feel it is money well spent. May 30, 2009

Dual firmness?
Q:Is one side of this mattress firmer than the other and can the mattress be flipped? Is the mattress firm enough for a newborn? If it does not have dual firmness, is it recommended that I switch to a different mattress after a certain period of time?

(nyc)(read all my Q&A)
A:When it comes to creating a safe, healthy sleep envirnment, it is recommended that a firm mattress be used for an infant, and that the infant's sleeping area is both well ventilated, and temperature regulated. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards regulate crib mattress minimum and maximum width, length, and thickness, as well as flammability, but not mattress firmness.
We like to abide by a firmness "rule of thumb" test: Press on the mattress in the center and at the edges -- it should snap back readily and should not conform to the shape of your hand. While firmness is one consideration when selecting a mattress, the overall health effects that the mattress's raw materials have on the infant should be considered, as well. While this mattress is not dual-sides, the natural latex coated coir used in NaturalMat's CocoMat makes an extremely firm and supportive mattress with good "snap back" while providing superb ventilation and insulation -- key safety features for any mattress -- and is the only mattress a family will need to invest in for their newborn through infant ages during the crib stage.
We recommend using the best practices for an infant's sleeping environment set forth by First Candle (formerly known as the SIDS Alliance), and that you consult your family's medical expert for specific recommendations for your family.

Flame retardants
Q:Are any flame retardants, specifically boric acid, added to the mattress?

Posted by(read all my Q&A)
A:NaturalMat's CocoMat passes all fire regulations without the use of chemical or unnatural treatments in any part of the mattress. The mattress is covered in two unbleached, undyed 100% cotton covers that have no flame retardant additives, and are compliant with Federal 16 CFR 1633 requirements for open flame flammability testing.

how is the lambswool sourced?
Q:Where does the lambswool come from and is it humanely/sustainably sourced?
3 years, 11 months ago
Posted by(read all my Q&A)
A:Coco Mats are handmade in England. The lambs wool is sustainably and exclusively sourced from farms in Devon and Dorset, both of which are certified by the UK Soil Association. This certification ensures that their wool sourcing practices are humane and responsible. As with every product we source at giggle, we work hard to meet the highest standards available.

natural mat mattress
Q:is that a problem that the natural mat mattress is slightly smaller in width than other mattresses? i understand it's 27 and 1/4. won't there be space on either size in cribs that are supposed to fit 28 width mattresses? thanks for your help
A:What a good question! To start, the Cocomat meets the CPSC standard requiring crib mattresses to be at least 27.25 inches by 51.75 inches.
For determining a safe fit within a standard full-size crib, the rule of thumb is no more than 2 adult fingers should be able to fit between the crib and mattress. Check out the width of two of your fingers; more than 3/4 of an inch, right? So while the wonderfully organic Cocomat is slightly smaller than the other crib mattresses that we carry, it is absolutely safe to use is any standard size crib!

article is now archived, but in it Trevor said that he felt fine about how things were progressing (they had declared Sochi as the goal right before Nationals), but that she apparently didn't and pulled the plug. This was after the disappointing 10th place at Nationals in 2011. After the split, she was apparently considering ice dance but decided to go back to singles.
I think Becky and Josh are a good match and I hope they have a good first season together.
Isn't this just Cain/Reagan V.2? Tall girl who can jump? A few posters have said they feel sorry for Caitlin, what about Ashley? It seemed Cain/Reagan were well on their way towards some kind of success and then it just ended, and it ended on Josh's side if I remember correctly.
Oh well, good luck to them, at least we'll have more than 10 Senior Teams at US Nationals this Season.
I thought that Josh's justification for ending his partnership with Ashley was not her height, but instead that she was devoting so much time to singles and he wanted to skate with someone who focused solely on pairs (that and former National Champ Caitlin was lurking....).
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
Anyway Bravo
They also knew they would never have a huge triple twist which is a MUST at the senior level especially if you want to place top 10 internationally.
They might be the same height but Bereswill has a really tiny frame.
Is Becky's frame that much tinier or lighter than Ashley Cain's?
In any case, their looks and skating styles seem very similar.

Becky and Ashley are both very slight, but at 5'6", it doesn't really matter if they only weigh 110 lbs or so, just the length of their limbs and such will make certain things more challenging (like a 3 twist). Weight matters but in pairs when a girl is that tall, even if she only weighs as much as the girls who are 3-4 inches shorter, the dynamics of everything will still be different. Plus a shorter girl with a sturdier build might have more strength and be able to "help" more in a lot of the moves and can afford to be more muscular/sturdier because their weight will still likely be low. You see the same issue a lot in gymnastics, the taller gymnasts tend to be slighter in build, but oftentimes they are less consistent and not as stable, and once you reach a certain height threshold, it becomes very hard to be successful at all. For singles Becky and Ashley are still in a normal height range, towards the taller end for sure but not above the threshold of maybe 5'7" or 5'8", but for pairs, unless they get a partner like Simon Shnapir and even then, I'm skeptical how well they will faire long term, my thoughts being injuries are probably likely to occur.

My error.
Just to play devil's advocate here, S/S won Skate America with only a 2twist in 2011 (they were working on a new entrance to the twist that season, IIRC). Granted, they already have plenty of other qualities to their skating and a score of 124 is actually on the low side for them.
Plus Skate America is early in the season and the GP is set up so that the major competitors don't skate head-to-head as much as possible.

Defense seemed to go into prevent mode after it got to 16-3.
The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Packers weather injuries, grit out 19-17 win in Baltimore
Baltimore — For the second straight week, it wasn't quite a thing of beauty. But maybe these are the types of games the Green Bay Packers need to win come January.
Behind a stingy defense, running back Eddie Lacy and a timely Aaron Rodgers heave, the Green Bay Packers weathered two more injuries to beat the Baltimore Ravens, 19-17.
James Jones (leg) and Randall Cobb (knee) both left Sunday's game with injuries, instantly changing the game plan for Green Bay on offense.
Lacy rushed 23 times for 120 yards. With weapons in short supply, Rodgers completed only 17 of 32 of his passes. He did, however, get the Ravens to bite on play action for a 64-yard score to Jordy Nelson.
Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco wouldn't go away without a fight. Flacco connected with Tandon Doss for 63 yards on fourth and 21 and then hit Dallas Clark for a touchdown to slice to lead to two points with 2 minutes, 4 seconds left.
But on third and 3 with 1 minute, 53 seconds to go, Rodgers hit tight end Jermichael Finley across the middle of the field and Finley raced upfield for 52 yards.
Green Bay improves to 3-2.
Player of the Game: No Clay Matthews, no problem. A.J. Hawk and the Packers' linebackers fared just fine in this one. Hawk, particularly, had a career day. On timely blitzes from Dom Capers, Hawk sacked Joe Flacco three times and also led the Packers with 10 tackles.
Turning point: Let's go with a play that's been so problematic. Third and short. On third and 2 with 7 minutes to go — the Packers leading, 16-10 — Eddie Lacy gained three yards. A simple play, yes, but with this Green Bay was able to melt the clock down to 4:17 before Mason Crosby kicked a field goal that gave Green Bay a two-score lead, 19-10.
Big number: 4 — straight games the Packers have had a running back gain at least 99 yards.
What went right: Lacy picked up where he left off last weekend. The rugged rookie is built for these kinds of games. In the first half, David Bakhtiari and Josh Sitton walled off the defense and Lacy gained 37. On a quick hitter in the second half, Lacy turned upfield for 17. All of the running paid off, too. Rodgers was able to sell run on a play fake and hit Jordy Nelson for the 64-yard touchdown that gave the Packers a 16-3 lead.
Defensively, the Packers dominated the line of scrimmage. Baltimore had no room to run with either Ray Rice or Bernard Pierce as the duo combined for 43 yards on 19 attempts. In addition to Hawk's big day, Jamari Lattimore (2 TFL) made a lot of noise in place of Brad Jones. And the front three of B.J. Raji, Johnny Jolly and Ryan Pickett continued to the set the tempo against the run. As a unit, the Packers had 10 tackles for loss.
What went wrong: The injuries to Jones and Cobb may overshadow anything that happened today. We'll know shortly. Both receivers left Sunday's game and eventually returned to watch from the sideline — Cobb in crutches. So far, the Packers have been extremely reliant on their three-receiver sets. Now, depth has to be a concern. When the two went down in this game, Jarrett Boykin struggled with a pair of drops.
Elsewhere, who knows what John Kuhn was thinking when he touched the ball on a blocked punt by Ryan Taylor. For some reason, Kuhn grazed the ball on his way by. The Ravens were granted a new set of downs and drove all the way to the goal line but were stuffed on four straight runs. Elsewhere, the offensive line struggled with Baltimore's pressure in the first half before settling down in the second.

Crucial, crucial win. Every game is going to be a grind from now on. What in heaven's name do they do at wide receiver?
Defense seemed to go into prevent mode after it got to 16-3.Hide replies
They can do what New England does - ADAPT. Quarless and Ryan Taylor MUST step up. They can run the ball more and more with Lacy and Starks (if he ever returns). They can play the same defense that they played today (without the 1-2 breakdowns).
Is DD available?
Javon Walker is waiting by his phone.....
Yup get Walker and put him in the slot.
Tyrone that is, not Javon.
What happened to Charles Johnson, I thought they were high on him, is he still on the practice squad?
Signed with the Browns.
Donald Driver, ASAP
The Packers beat the Ravens, and they beat the Evil Injury Fairy, and they beat their own stupid mistakes today.
GREAT win. Game balls go to Eddie Lacy, A.J. Hawk and Micah Hyde.
Huge win on the road.....positives; excellent running game again, championship defense other than the 4th down hiccup in the 4th quarter, Crosby even with the one miss did his job, and Hawk(I have been one of his biggest critics, but today he looked like the 5th overall pick, maybe the best game of his career).....negatives; INJURIES...Kuhn's boneheaded play, and a few bad drops.....the rest of the schedule looks very favorable.Hide replies
I have been brutal on Hawk, especially after last year. But these past three weeks he's been a man on fire. Lattimore, Perry, Hawk; Jones and Neal too just dominated today. Loved it....Speaking of #53, what happened?
Receivers down, but now teams may crowd the line even more and actuall open up big gains with play action like Nelson's TD. Really going to miss Cobb. Really wish Capers would have went for the blitz on fouth down as Flacco is worse under pressure and may have had to checked down instead of receivers running deep.
Great win but without Cobb and Jones we aren't Super Bowl contenders. It's also darnright ridiculous that we seem to lose so many players to injury year after year.Hide replies
Almost all of these injuries are due to fate. That hit on Cobb was completely incidental. Could have happened to anyone. On any given Sunday, you could lose all your playmakers......
That hit on Cobb was Elam going for his knees. Elam had a dirty rep in college with the U. Florida Gators ... .
Well going high would have resulted in a fine or head injury.
Unintended consequences of putting more rules in play.
there are more options than just hit the knee or the head...I thought it was dirty
There is a lot of room between the head and the knees, particularly when the receiver is upright as Cobb was. TRULY A CHEAP SHOT!!!!!
I think the argument that this is the consequence of the fines for going high is weak. There's about 4 feet of body between the head and the knees. That's a pretty darn big area for someone to hit. At no point do the coaches ever teach you to dive at the knees in tackling drills from the pee wee level all the way up.
Pass the Kool aid I love it.
The trolls fail = a W..............I'll take it and the troll has to STFU for a few daysHide replies
Really? You thought that performance was one for you to crow about? Yikes!
Not sure why, but Hawk just looks like a different player this year. Faster, more aggressive. Also fun to see how Lacy can accelerate through a hole.
Hoping that one of the two WR's (maybe Jones, no crutches) is back before long. The tight ends will need to step up, and Finley had some nice receptions today when it mattered.Hide replies
Contract year for Hawk
You're right on the mark. Except for the fact that Hawk is signed through the 2015 season.
Oops. thought he was in the contract year. Well so much the better if he can keep playing at this level
He's like 15 pounds lighter, and is playing for much less money. The blitz packages sure are producing some free runs at the QB. And rushing Flacco must seem like nothing after CK and RG III, even Stafford.
Less hair ...
Hawk lost some weight in the off season. I think that is helping him play well.
Agree with aaron. And the space eaters are having a great year. I wish Datone was more disruptive but that's nitpicking.
Thankfully that 4th and 21 abortion will be little more than a footnote since the O was able to run out the clock. Why rush 3? All that does is give time for the deep routes to develop!
I supported keeping #85 since we were just 1 WR injury from disaster. Well, disaster just game. Cobb is probably out for the season and Jones may be out for a few weeks.
Oh yeah, where was this AJ Hawk for the past 8 years??? He dominated today.Hide replies
I hate the prevent defense!
DSP, because it "prevents you from winning?"
Garbage, looked like M.D and Burnett both cheated in and that was that
Agree!! If you rush 3 you may as well rush 1 or 2 and cover all the receivers with 2 people. Send at least 4 to force the quarterback to throw sooner.
What a nerve racking win. Even at the end Finley had to keep in interesting by running out of bounds, that could have left a minute left for the Ravens instead of 20 seconds (if they had gotten a stop).Hide replies
Chewing bubble gum and walking at the same time are not what Finley is good at. Just let him catch and run, leave the thinking out of it or he might fumble or something.
Dumb play from the UT product. Lacy has been coached smart enough to know when to take "a knee" to keep the clock running and avoid a fumble.
On the other hand, that Finley catch/run was huge.
A huge road win for the Pack, but the lack of production on offense is frustrating. Over 400 yards of offense, including 140 rushing, but only 19 points to show for it. At some point, they've got to figure it out on offense and turn some of those field goals into touchdowns. Nonetheless, a huge win on the road in a type of game that they often seem to find a way to lose instead of win. Could it be a defining moment for them? Somebody give Driver a call.Hide replies
HEY! I hadn't thought about THAT! I was thinking that we'll see some acquisition during the week because the injuries look like devastating ones.
Probably Ross if he wasn't picked up by anybody. Only because he knows the system.
It's called playing 4 top-flight defenses in 5 weeks. The one time we didn't ('Skins), we scored at will.
Baltimore was ranked 14th in total defense coming into today's game. Middle of the road.
At home they're much better, and this was Harbaugh's first loss to an NFC team in 14 straight games at home. Also, first time GB has beaten a Baltimore team in Balt. ...in decades. Look it up.

X-CD-Roast: CD Writer Software
X-CD-Roast is a fully X-based CD writer program. It is a front end for the command-line utilities cdwrite and mkisofs. X-CD-Roast therefore reduces the task of creating your own CDs to a few simple mouse clicks instead of a long study of any command-line parameters.
The newest version of X-CD-Roast (0.96a in August 1997) provides the following features:
point and click X11 interface
automatic IDE and SCSI hardware setup
copying of ISO-9660 CDs, non-ISO-9660 CDs (like Mac or Sun CDs), Mixed-Mode CDs and Audio CDs.
mastering of ISO-9660-data CDs
creation of audio CDs
quick CD-to-CD copying (no need for a CD image saved on hard disk)
soundcard support
At this time, it is not possible to create or copy multi-session CDs with X-CD-Roast. You also cannot master a CD without creating a CD image on a hard disk; you must provide the disk space for the data and for the mastered CD-image. Therefore, you need approximately 700MB times two of free disk space when creating a 650MB CD. Version 0.96a supports only a very limited set of CD writers. The next major update to 0.97 will include the cdrecord program which will handle most writers on the market. Non-SCSI writers will not be supported in the near future.
Prior to the installation of X-CD-Roast you should check whether you satisfy all system requirements.
First, the basic steps when burning a Data-CD: The copying is very simple: first, an image of the original-CD is created on a free hard disk partition (called "image" or "image partition" from now on). This image contains every byte of the original CD and can therefore be up to 650MB in size. Now, you can do a verification run to compare the contents of the image with the original CD. This enables you to track down any read errors that might have damaged the image. The next step is to copy that image back to a CD-Recordable, a process called "burning". At this point you can choose whether to simulate the burn process (the writer goes through all the motions and processes, but the write laser is off) or to do the real thing. I recommend that you do your first tests using the simulation mode—it could save you a few CD-Recordables.
Audio and mixed-mode CDs (CDs with one data track and additional audio tracks) can be copied as well, but this takes more effort. Each track of the original CD is read into a single file and saved onto the image partition. These tracks can now be written in any sequence you like, and you can also read tracks from more than one CD and so create your own "best-of" audio CD.
If you want to create a CD with your own files, you must first "master" the data. Collect all the files you wish to have on CD in a single directory tree mounted on your system. X-CD-Roast then converts this directory tree into a ISO-9660 CD image. Remember, this image will occupy about the same amount of space on your hard drive as your data to burn does. So, to master 600MB of data, you must have about 1.2GB of space. Finally, you burn this image on to a CD-Recordable.
In this section I briefly explain how a CD-Recordable and a CD writer work. This information is not necessary to use X-CD-Roast, but it can help you to understand the process.
The most common types of CD-Recordables are those with 63 and 74 minutes audio runtimes or 553MB and 650MB data capacities. The structure of a pressed "silver" CD is quite similar to a CD-Recordable. A pressed CD is built from a polycarbonate layer in which the information is pressed as pits. The sequence of "pit" or "not-pit" represents the data on the CD. After the press process, the layer is laminated with aluminum (giving it the silver look) for better reflection of the reading laser of a CD-ROM drive.
On the writable CD, the polycarbonate substrate, has a spiral groove that helps the laser stay on course during burning and playback. On that substrate a thin gold layer is laminated to provide the best possible reflection to a reading laser. Over the gold layer is a photosensitive dye layer, and over that is a clear protective lacquer. While you use a weak laser to read a CD, you need more power to write. The laser beam heats the photosensitive layer and creates a kind of hole that shows us the gold layer. When you read such a CD-Recordable, the holes in the photosensitive layer can be interpreted as "pits", making it possible to read such a CD with all common CD-ROM and audio players. However, the "pits" are not as sharp as on a pressed CD and can cause troubles on a few older CD-ROM drives, which report occasional read errors, while others perform flawlessly.
Some recommended precautionary measures when dealing with CD-Recordables:
Label only on pre-marked label side using a soft, felt tip marker.
Don't use stickers.
Store only in cool and dark places.
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.

— WASHINGTON — Relieved your kids aren't posting embarrassing messages and goofy self-portraits on Facebook? They're probably doing it on Instagram and Snapchat instead.
The number of popular social media sites available on kids' mobile devices has exploded in recent years. The smartest apps now enable kids to chat informally with select groups of friends without bumping up against texting limits and without being monitored by parents, coaches and college admissions officers, who are frequent Facebook posters themselves.
Many of the new mobile apps don't require a cellphone or a credit card. They're free and can be used on popular portable devices such as the iPod Touch and Kindle Fire, as long as there's a wireless Internet connection.
According to the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project, more than three-fourths of teenagers have a cellphone and use online social networking sites such as Facebook. But educators and kids say there is plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest that Facebook for teenagers has become a bit like a school-sanctioned prom — a necessary rite of passage with plenty of adult onlookers — while apps such as Snapchat and Kik Messenger are the much cooler after-party.
Educators say they have seen everything from kids using their mobile devices to circulate online videos of school drug searches to male students sharing nude pictures of their girlfriends. Most parents, they say, have no idea.
