AIG's shares rose 15 percent when investors learned that the insurer would post a loss in the first quarter but it would not be as large as the hit it took in the last three months of 2008.
Adding to the "good" news: the loss would not trigger yet another tweak to the rescue package that has propped up AIG as it sorts through its affairs.
Of course, AIG's mountain of red ink reached new heights in the fourth quarter, as it posted $61.7 billion in losses, the largest in U.S. corporate history. The government owns a nearly 80 percent stake in AIG. And AIG owes taxpayers some $85 billion in TARP funds and loans.
Maybe AIG's fourth quarter loss set a new standard, sort of a reverse watermark on how low things can sink. And maybe now the bottom will have to fall out yet again for people to get shocked.
Still, one must wonder what investors are thinking. It will be bad but not that bad, so buy AIG?

Critical View is Hennepin Theatre Trust's student reviewer program!
SpotLight's Critical Review Program gives high school students the opportunity to attend and review touring Broadway productions and SpotLight school productions. Critical Review is part of a larger curriculum that teaches communication skills, and enhances critical thinking and creative response. As part of this program, students receive study guides and press kits before the show, learn from experts including local theatre critics, playwrights and actors who discuss topics from lighting design to choreography, and in some cases, have expanded access to the Broadway touring cast and crew.
This program is funded through the generous support of Fred and Ann Moore.

It tends to be difficult to review your own production. I found this out through The Rocky Horror Show. After two weeks of shows, the production ended. Or, at least it did for the Minneapolis School Summer Theatre. However, the show lives on, as many productions are occurring across the country, not including the midnight movie cult classic, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's an experience, to be sure. But I, personally, feel that putting the show on is even more fun than…Continue

Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson Review
The cast of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson rocked audiences in this rock musical at the New Century Theater this month. This show told the story of the life of America's seventh president, Andrew Jackson, in form of a funny, satirical rock musical portraying Jackson as an emo-rocker. Some people think of Jackson being the best…Continue

It was with no small amount of nerves that I took my seat in the New Century Theatre on Sunday evening to see Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson. I'd heard many criticisms of the show, saying it was horribly offensive to Native American history, and I wasn't sure how I'd be able to juggle that and my love of rock musicals.
The show definitely entered some rocky territory in its portrayal of Native Americans, but it was made very clear that they were making fun of the white…Continue

Sitting at the top of the nutritional scale, collard green rapini, snap peas and rye wheat flour check all the "good for you" boxes, while the decadent flavor of chevre gnocchi brings a special flair that Chef Peter Birk from Boka Restaurant shares in this healthy dish.
Chevre and Rye Gnocchi
by Chef Peter Birk of Boka Restaurant
1# chevre
2 ea eggs
1C rye flour
to taste salt, white pepper, nutmeg
2 bu rapini
4oz mushroom, oyster
4oz peas, snow or snap
2oz basil leaves
1. Combine chevre and eggs in mixing bowl and combine thoroughly. Add the flour and seasonings and combine to make a semi-firm dough; it should hold its shape. The mixture should come away from the sides of the bowl and hold together. You may need to add 1 to 2 extra tablespoons flour so that the dough is not too soft.
2. Bring a large stockpot of salted water to the boil. Roll portions of the dough into long strands about 1 inch wide, and using a bench cutter or knife, cut into 1-inch pieces. Drop them into the boiling water. Cook until the gnocchi float to the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. As soon as the gnocchi are cooked, remove them with a slotted spoon.
3. Heat a sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the butter and heat until just golden and a little foamy. Add gnocchi and toss lightly to coat with butter. Add rapini, mushrooms and peas. Combine all ingredients and sauté until all ingredients are slightly softened and butter is beginning to brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Place finished mixture in serving bowls/plates and garnish with basil leaves.
Thyme Butter
1t thyme leaves
4oz butter

If your problem was a consumer protection issue, we may have your answer: consumer.gov. It's a free new resource from the Federal Trade Commission that gives you the consumer protection facts, plain and simple.
On the site, you can find out about credit, debt, identity theft, and avoiding scams, as well as budgeting, opening a bank account, shopping for prepaid cards, and managing your money. The information is written in an easy-to-use, direct style that focuses on the basic information you need, along with the steps you need to take.

Thank you, that is just what the doctor ordered.
I have read most of the information out there about consumer protection. My question is, what good is it when you live in a state where consumer protection laws currently on the books and presumed to protect the average citizen or even the exceptional citizen are not enforced as this has become the American way now.

Staff Writer
Following last year's run to the Division I district tournament, Geneva girls golf coach Rob DiPofi and his Eagles were on a mission to return to that level and, hopefully, take the next step forward.
Today, Geneva gets that opportunity.
Led by defending state champion sophomore Danielle Nicholson, the Eagles head back to The Legends in Massillon to battle for the right to be one of the five teams out of the 16-team tournament to punch a ticket to Columbus.
In addition to Nicholson's experience during last year's state run, DiPofi will also be able to draw on the experience of seniors Megan Lara and Cami Dodge, who were also members of last year's team.
"I'd like to think Cami, Megan and Danielle will parlay their experience from last year come (today)," DiPofi said. "We beefed up the schedule a little bit this year and I think that helps. Most of the teams we'll be competing with probably play 7-10, 18-hole tournaments a year and sometimes that's difficult to contend with. But we added a few this year and I think that will help."
Joining the trio from last year's team will be Nicole Grimmett, who shot a 99 at last week's sectional.
DiPofi is still deciding who will be Geneva's fifth player today.
Abbey Scoville played in the fifth spot at the sectional and shot 103, but DiPofi could be going with Megan Kern for the final spot.
Nicholson fired a course record for women with a 69 at Tamer Win at the sectional while Dodge shot a 89 with Lara following closely with a 90.
If the experienced trio of golfers can go low, DiPofi believes his team has a shot to make it to Columbus.
"We went over it with Cami, Megan and Danielle, the ideal scores to shoot and the main thing is to try to shoot better than last year," he said. "If those three can get us a total of 240 I'm confident we can get another score from Nicole, Abbey or Megan that can get us to a good number.
"A number like 335 still might not be enough, but I can live with that. If everyone improves upon what they shot last year then I'll be totally satisfied."
For perspective on what the Eagles are facing today, here are the teams that qualified for the district tournament with their score from sectionals in parenthesis:
Highland (298), Massillon Jackson (302), Magnifcat (312), Hoover (312), NDCL (326), Canfield (333), Dover (342), Geneva (347), Walsh (348), Hudson (349), Howland (356), Avon (362), Solon (367), Avon Lake (372), St. Joe's Academy (377) and Stow (386).
With that said, DiPofi said it's worth mentioning that in golf, making the district tournament is more like making it to the regional level in sports like basketball or baseball, because the next step is the state tournament.
Along those lines, DiPofi said he's thrilled with the state of his program after making it to the district tournament in back to back years.
"It gives me goose bumps a little bit, honestly," he said. "This is Year 5. I think I've spent more time worrying about next year and the year after and trying to get kids to play in the future. It's great achievement for them and I think it's gone way under the radar. Danielle is obviously the lynch pin for all this, but I don't want to get lost with the girls who played last year and the ones who are playing this year.
"I always trying to get a look at what's going on overall and at some point I'm not going to have Danielle so we're trying to build and we've set the bar set pretty high. We may never get back to this point.
"I try to stress to them, enjoy this regardless what happens, enjoy the opportunity because they're few and far between. As a coach we never assume, even with talent, that we're guaranteed to get back."
While Nicholson's ability to post a low number will go a long way to helping Geneva potentially advance, the key may lie with Lara's ability to play well.
Lara shot an 81 at a tournament at The Legends at the beginning of the season.
"Megan is an exceptional talent, she's intense, she expects a lot of her, I like that in her," DiPofi said. "She cares shot to shot and knows what's going on. She's worked hard at the game and she played well down there in August and she even said she threw a couple shots away. She's fully capable of going low, not to say Cami can't, though.
"Cami's been steady for four years, you watch her and you go, 'she has a nice swing.' You look at her numbers and they creep up on you."
It should be noted that both Dodge and Lara have been battling an illness that effected them at last week's sectional and could very well be a factor today.
DiPofi said he and his girls are all looking forward to the opportunity in front of them today.
"I think they're all excited about the opportunity to represent the school, the community and the county," he said. "I think they're pumped about that and the teams we're competing against. This year feels a little different, I don't really know why. Last year I think I was very naive in thinking we could get a spot out of the five, reality is we shot 356 and that's 25 shots off where you need to be so I'm setting the target like 325.
"That's the target, but if we don't get that it doesn't detract from what we've done this season."
As the biggest region in Division I, the top five teams at The Legends and the top five individuals from teams who did not qualify will advance to the state tournament in Columbus the following weekend.
Geneva tees off at 9 a.m. today.

A tribute concert is scheduled in Greenville tonight in honor of the late Elvis Presley.
Presley appeared at Greenville Municipal Auditorium (GMA) in October 1955. The facility will play host to "Elvis Returns! A Tribute to Elvis with Kraig Parker".
The concert is presented in partnership with the United Way of Hunt County with a percentage of proceeds to benefit the local non-profit, as well as to benefit the restoration of the auditorium.
Doors to the auditorium will open at 6 p.m. and tickets at $15 and $35 each are still available through the auditorium's web site at www.showtimeatthegma.com.
Elvis performed at the GMA on October 5, 1955, as part of the famous "Louisiana Hayride."
The performance is being produced by Charles Stone, who produced all of Presley's shows in the 1970s.

Tulipa 'Nightrider'
viridiflora tulip bulbs
- Position: full sun
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: May
- Flower colour: purple with green
- Other features: excellent cut-flowers
- Hardiness: fully hardy
- Bulb size: 12/+
A recently introduced viridiflora type tulip with amazing blue-purple petals flamed with grass-green. Viridiflora tulips are great, as the green flames that shoot through the petals make them really easy to mix with other colours without becoing too garish. This, coupled with the fact that the flowers last well after cutting puts them in big demand with florists.
- Garden care: In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering dead-head and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
- Harmful if eaten/may cause skin allergy
Tulip Fire
Tips of emerging leaves appear brown and scorched, and often shrivel and rot. The foliage soon becomes covered in a grey fungus. Brown spots appear on the leaves and flowers, which may also rot.Read full article
Plant spring bulbs
Spring bulbs, such as daffodils and hyacinths, can be planted whenever the soil conditions allow. As a rough guide, cover them with about twice as much soil as the bulb is deep: so that a 5cm (2in) deep bulb would need a 15cm (6in) deep hole so that itRead full article
Planting bulbs
Bulbs are ideal for anyone who rates themselves as 'keen-but-clueless' because they are one of the easiest plants to grow. Provided you plant them at the right time of year at more or less the right depth, they will reward you year after year with a relRead full article
Planning ahead with Bulbs
One of the great things about gardening is being able to look into the future with enthusiasm, and part of that is planting now for next spring. A gardener knows, when handling papery brown bulbs, that these insignificant little things will produce earlyRead full article

Bake the Book: Coffee Can Date-Nut Bread
This bare-bones recipe from Cookfight comes from Kim Severson's mother, Ann, who cleverly used coffee cans to package and ship loaves of this date-nut bread to Kim at college every Thanksgiving. With dates for sweetness and pecans (or walnuts!) for crunch, this bread is hearty and satisfying.
Tips: This is one of those recipes that don't need messing with, though a couple teaspoons of cinnamon wouldn't be a bad addition. Browning the butter in a saucepan beforehand deepens the flavor.
Tweaks: If you are indeed planning to use the coffee cans to mail or give to friends, let the cake cool fully before putting it back in the cans and sealing them up in order to prevent spongy or damp cake caused by condensation.

As always with our Bake the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Cookbook to give away.

Ordered a bunch of these for our school campaign. Branders was able to help us with the design so we could fit it into this button/pin. Final product was great! People were wearing the pins in their shirts or pinning them in their bags.
I wished the image/design could have expanded across the entire button (bleed).

adding power seats and windows
hey all i just purchased an 02 silverado at auction it came with roll up windows and no power seats.i am looking to add both my question is, is it even possible to do and whats the best way to go about it. obviously i would have to completly put new seats in but what about doors for the windows? any input would be appreciated thanks. i guess im just not sure if the truck itself becuase its pretty much stock has the capability.
yes it is possible. I purchsed a kit from SoBe off of Ebay and it was a simple easy install. I thought about finding a donor truck and using all the factory pieces, but that was more of a pain than it was going to be worth. do a little searching around the web, lots of kits out there.

My boyfriend has an 04 colorado that was a total strip out, manual door locks and windows. He too bought the power window kit, power door lock kit and keyless entry and hooked it all up. He's had that ebay stuff in there for 7 years and had no problems with any of it. He originally bought all the GM door panels, and switches and was going to make it look like factory but we found out that the BCM would have to be swapped out for one that was capable to be flashed to read the OEM hardware so he sold it all on ebay and went all aftermarket.

3D Mapping of Defects and Strain Gradients near Buried Interfaces at MesoscaleRosa Barabash, Materials Science and Technology Div., Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN
Materials Science and Technology and Chemical Sciences Divisions Seminar Series
10:00 AM — 11:00 AM, Weinberg Auditorium, Building 4500-N
Contact: Olga Ovchinnikova (firstname.lastname@example.com), 865.574.4871
AbstractInterfaces play a crucial role in the two- phase and multi- phase materials properties. Strain partitioning through the interfaces determines materials response to external fields. Recently developed Polychromatic X-ray Microdiffraction together with Differential Aperture X-ray Microscopy was used to characterize the 3D distribution of strain and dislocation density near buried interfaces in layered and fibrous materials under external fields. It is shown that two-phase materials response to indentation and tension is distinct from the single phase materials. Depth-dependent opposite sign strains are directly measured in individual layers/fibers of the materials. Research supported by the Division of Materials Sciences and Engineering, U.S. Department of Energy. Data collection was carried out on beamline ID-34-E at the Advanced Photon Source.

Recent Little Gasparilla Island Reviews
We spent Memorial Day weekend at this home and could not have been any more pleased. Tucked on five acres, this home makes you feel as if you have Little Gasparilla Island to yourself. It's very nice to watch the sunrise from the dock and the sunset on the beach. The star gazing at night is even better. The home has all the standard amenities you need to relax. Of course you need to bring food and supplies, but there are pots and pans, utensils and a coffee maker. The house is older but has had updates and feels well maintained. You will find just the very normal wear and tear expected with any rental property. I would definitely stay at this house again!

McALESTER —
They survived the two worst prison riots in American history.
Now, they're connected by an invisible bond.
Don Almeter, a survivor of the bloody and deadly 1971 prison riot in Attica, New York, met John Barrier, who survived the devastating 1973 riot at Oklahoma State Penitentiary, for the first time in July 2012.
Almeter made it a personal point to visit Barrier, who had been savagely beaten by inmates while held as a captive during the OSP riot. They met in McAlester in a room at the Walnut Grove Living Center.
He could identify with what Barrier lived through.
During the riot at Attica, rampaging inmates had beaten Almeter while storming through the prison. He remained a hostage for days.
Almeter, who is now a volunteer with the Correctional Peace Officers Association and who lives in Florida, had told former OSP Warden Dan Reynolds he wanted to meet Barrier the next time he traveled to Oklahoma.
The nest time Almeter traveled to the Sooner State, he and Reynolds, accompanied by CPFO Field Representative Richard Loud, of Newport, R.I., met with Barrier in a private setting at Walnut Grove.
After saying hello, Almeter gave Barrier a hat and pin from the Correctional Peace Officers Association. He also told Barrier why he and Loud wanted to meet him.
"We respect you, and all of the people look up to you for what you did, for being a correctional officer," Almeter said.
"And a survivor," Loud added.
Barrier survived being hit over the head with either a baseball bat or a piece of lumber during the 1973 OSP riot. Inmates then dragged him into a prison barber shop, where they jumped from a barber chair and a nearby table on his back, and also stomped and kicked him.
He was later left dragged away by another inmate trying to help him, then left for dead below a prison tower, before other officers eventually pulled him to safety. However, he had already suffered injuries which left him permanently disabled.
When Barrier learned last July that Almeter had been a hostage during the Attica prison riot, he told him "You're the man!"
"No, you're the man!" said Almeter.
Almeter had suffered his own horrors inside Attica.
As a 23-year-old correctional officer, he had been ordered to say inside a locked metal shop building, with other inmates and correctional officers, as the riot unfolded around him.
Inside the building were approximately eight correctional officers and 120 inmates, said Almeter. The inmates locked in the shop with him weren't doing anything, but he smelled something burning and heard glass breaking outside, he said.
Finally, the inmates outside broke through the shop door, grabbed him and the other officers, stripped them naked and pushed them into the prison yard, Almeter said.
They were beaten, blindfolded and tied. Eventually, some of the inmates said the hostages should be clothed, so they were given inmates' clothing to wear.
Over the next few days, anytime he tried to pull down his blindfold, he was hit or beaten, Almeter said.
He still vividly remembers the final assault by a small army of state troopers, National Guardsmen, correctional offices, police and others that led to his rescue and ended with the deaths of 29 inmates and 10 hostages.
"I heard the helicopters and I knew what was coming," Almeter said.
As huge loads of tear gas or pepper spray were dropped into the prison yard, Almeter heard gunfire.
"We couldn't see it," he said of himself and the hostages with him. "We were still tied up and blindfolded." They were still dressing in inmate clothing as well.
Almeter remembers an inmate jerking him up by his collar and hearing a bullet crack by his ear, then being let go to crash to the ground.
He correctly surmised the inmate holding him had been shot. Suddenly, two more inmates pulled him and his cousin, who was also a hostage, upright again.
This time, Almeter said he heard two more shots, and again fell to the ground. Those inmates had been shot as well.
This time, Almeter said he worked his blindfold loose and stood, thinking he would greet the officer approaching him with a gun, making his way through the heavy smoke and tear gas. Instead, the officer slammed him with the rifle butt and yelled at him to stay down. For a few seconds, Almeter felt he might be killed by one of his rescuers — until another officer he knew identified him as one of their own.
Later investigations revealed that most, if not all, of the hostages killed during the rescue had been hit by gunfire — a conclusion Almeter believes.
Reynolds, the former warden from OSP and the Mack Alford Correctional Center in Stringtown, believes men such as Barrier and Almeter deserve a lot of credit.
"They're unsung heroes," Reynolds said. "They share a common bond, being former hostages."
Loud said he and Almeter were in Oklahoma as part of a membership drive for the Correctional Peace Officers Foundation. He said it's a non-profit charitable organization, devoted to helping surviving family members of slain correctional employees, as well as injured officers or those who may need assistance in other ways.
Anyone needing more information can contact the organization's headquarters in Sacramento, Calif., at 1-800-800-CPOF, or at 916-928-0061, Loud said, or by going to www.cpof.org.
As Almeter completed his McAlester visit, he grasped Barrier's hand for a good-bye handshake.
"I want you to remember me, because I'll never forget you," Almeter said.
"I'll never forget you, either," said Barrier.
Later, Almeter spoke of how he feels it's important that correctional employees injured or killed in the line of duty be remembered.
"We were forgotten, and I'm, quite sure he was, when it happened," Almeter said.
In 2011, Barrier received special recognition, including a visit from Oklahoma Department of Corrections Director Justin Jones, then-OSP Warden Randy Workman and Reynolds, as well as from numerous friends and family.
Almeter related why he feels he has a special connection with Barrier.
"We have a connection because of what happened back then.
"We lived with it — and we dealt with it."
Oklahoma State Department of Corrections Director Justin Jones is well aware of Barrier's service to the state.
"There are those like John who sacrificed and paid the cost of this," Jones said when speaking to the News-Capital last week.
The contributions of Barrier and other DOC employees should never be forgotten, Jones said.
"It's important that we never forget there are people like John."
"We should remember them every day."

I am sorry you are going through this. While I have never had spinal surgery, I have been managing moderate to severe chronic pain due to multiple spine problems for over 35 years. Also, I've done a great deal of research into spinal conditions and been a member of WebMD for over 10 years.
You have found out the hard way about the need to research your condition(s), possible treatments and getting multiple opinions before having surgery. Read through the Tip at the top of this WebMD Back Pain Community that lists the recommended steps for getting back pain diagnosed and treated. Within that thread are links to websites that have good information about back problems.
Are you on or have tried gabapentin (neurontin) or lyrica for the nerve pain? That is a common prescription drug for helping symptoms such as you describe. Have you seen a pain management specialist? The best are physiatrists, as they go deeper and offer many types of treatments.
I pray you can find answers and relief soon.
I am in Astralia and have a similar story to tell. My surgeon is highly regarded Orthopeadic surgeon, studied many years in US and is very good. Unfortunately they all have giant egos and do not give enough consideration to options or advising patients of the need to live cuatiously.
I had the same surgery, after 8 months told I could go back and play golf, bang out went the disc above. Vertebra collapsed, disc popped out and pushed on various nerves same as you - how unlucky were you that you just sneezed, but I have heard of that also.
I had another operation where they leveled it and pushed the disc back into place in a small 'cage', all secured by screws etc. Some early improvement but after a few months it stalled and I am going nowhere. Lots of sciatic and constant pain.
I wish I could give you some advice and hope, but I have 20 years of back pain, 4 operations in all. If you are being treated by Neurosurgeons as I was at first, not sure you are on the right track, better with Orthos, but in the end as you say it is all about the almighty dollar and nothing else matters.
My suggestion would be to try a pain control clinic in your area. You will find some take the approach of doing nerve blocks ect. and some which offer monthly medication. You could try both types of pain clinics and see what works best for you. Many of these clinics have either physiatrists, neurologists or anesthesiologists. Since I had a very bad experience with a physiatrist, and they are one of the easiest residency programs to get in to (and they have low board scores), I PERSONALLY have a negative bias and go to someone in another area of practice. I have heard of others on this site who are extremely happy with the physiatry practice where they are a patient.
Best of luck to you.
I was researching laser surgery for Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, and have found that is not a risk I'm willing to take. Acceptance is hard pill to swallow.
My last hope is a pain pump. I hope it will allow me to enjoy a few more years with my kids After that I don't know if there is anything important enough to fight this kind of fight.
Aristotle said that pains destroys those who suffer it. Not much has changed in 2300 years. I don't expect any miracles before i leave earth.
Thank you,
I also fall under the generalized category of "Failed Back Syndrome". The feeling of my home is my prison is not easy to deal with and it is pretty standard to mourn the loss of many things from your former heathy life.
You did not ask for advice, so I hope this is o.k., but this is what has helped me cope through the difficult periods when I am stuck in my home. I assembled things I could do when I was homebound, but would still give me a sense of accomplishment. Getting things set up on days when you feel a bit better will make things easier when your pain level increases and you are couch-bound or bed-bound.
You will find many kind people on this site who will offer encouragement when the pain increases and it is hard to hang on to hope. It is simplistic, but I remind myself through every bad pain cycle, the pain will ease up and I just have to get through this rough spot. It may take weeks, months or longer, but after 25 years of chronic pain...this has always been true for me.
Take care.

Project Hydra: the USB Multiheaded Monster
The first colon-separated field is the assigned ttyUSB device number, and the USB path is the bit after the path: part. In this example, the first line indicates that ttyUSB0 is the USB-serial device connected to path usb-00:07.2-2.3.4, which working backward, translates to port 4 of a hub plugged in to port 3 of a hub, plugged in to port 2 of the root hub 00:07.2.
The 00:07 part is a bit of a bonus. This field uniquely describes the USB controller, so we also have a way of determining the controller to which the device is assigned.
To make this actually work, it is necessary to store a mapping of server names to USB paths. That is, after building a tree of USB-serial devices and connecting them to the server consoles, create a text file that maps the server names to the USB paths from /proc/tty/driver/usb-serial. Then it is a simple matter to write a script that accepts a server name, parses this file to determine the USB path and then parses /proc/tty/driver/usb-serial to determine the ttyUSB device number. Once the ttyUSB device number is known, the script can establish a connection to the port using minicom as an example. I went a step further and wrote a script that probes each ttyUSB device, tries to determine the host from the login banner and then records the USB path and server name. This isn't foolproof though, as some OSes don't provide the hostname in the banner. Even worse, if the console is left logged on, the banner won't be available. Still, this option makes creating the mapping file a little easier.
Once a console port is connected to a USB-serial adapter, the console can be accessed by using minicom, screen or your favorite terminal program to connect to the assigned ttyUSB port number. This will work immediately if the server supports a serial console natively, as do most Sun, HP-UX and IBM machines. Less commonly, some PCs include a console redirection feature in the BIOS that allows full redirection of video and keyboard to a serial port. If hardware redirection is not available, software redirection can be used by setting up a tty entry in /etc/inittab, similar to one of the following:
tty0:234:respawn:/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p ↪"'uname -n' console login: "-T vt100 -d ↪/dev/ttya -l console
t1:23:respawn:/sbin/suattr -C ↪CAP_FOWNER,CAP_DEVICE_MGT,CAP_DAC_WRITE+ip ↪-c "exec /sbin/getty ttyd1 console"
A good starting point for working with remote serial consoles is the Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO (see Resources). The disadvantage of using a software-redirected port is you are unable to access the console if the machine fails to boot. You also are unable to access any portions of the system that occur before the OS starts. As an example, with a PC you are unable to access the PC BIOS or any controller BIOS. If this level of access is critical, you may be interested in a product called PC Weasel (www.realweasel.com), which creates a fully accessible, hardware-redirected console and also provides the ability to reset the PC remotely.
Because of the inability to hard-reset or access the console before the OS boots without a hardware console port, this console-access solution does not replace being there. However, this access solution is easy to extend and costs almost the same as a traditional serial console switch. In addition, ports can be added as needed and can be added hot.
What really separates a USB console server from a manual switch is the ability to access the consoles remotely and in parallel. That is, as many users as desired can connect remotely to the USB console server and then connect each shell to a separate, albeit unique, console. Moreover, the only limit to accessing the connected consoles is the limit of accessing the USB console server; you could use a local keyboard and monitor, SSH, dial-up modem, a custom Web interface, e-mail and so on. Of course, because the USB-serial adapters provide a standard serial port, other applications may be possible as well. Currently, we are considering using this system to monitor our UPS devices and manage shutdown events.
modern motherboards seem to
modern motherboards seem to have multiple controllers, 1 port per controller or in the worst case 2 ports per controller. this could be further extended with pci cards.
furthermore you could use multiport usb-to-serial converters that provide 2,4 or 8 serial ports on a single usb device. At some point usb bandwidth may limit your system - the converters quite often require several usb transactions for a single-byte transfer.
there is a more serious limitation in the older linux kernels, like those you mention - all usb-to-serial converters share the same major device number, thus limiting number of accessible converters to 256. current kernels solve this entire mess with udev where rules are used to name the devices by location in the device tree or by the serial number, which may be available on FTDI converters, for example.
USB To USB Console
Since the linux kernel can not support console redirection to USB.
I was wondering if it would be possible to go straight from usb to usb without the need for the serial to usb convertor.
Has anybody tried this?
I would like to know as
I would like to know as well. I will designing a new production environment for my company. We will have 20+ linux systems. We probably are going to use some type of kvm setup for a few machines. I would much rather have a many to one USB system giving me console access to all machines from on central computer. Isn't there some mechanism already build into linux that will give us this functionality?
Re: Project Hydra: the USB Multiheaded Monster
I'm a month behind in my LJ, but last month's issue had an article what might help fix the naming problems by using udev in newer kernels. (>= 2.5)
Kernel Korner - udev--Persistent Device Naming in User Space
Re: Project Hydra: the USB Multiheaded Monster
This article is exactly the reason why I read Linux Journal every month. Actually seeing someone doing something with all the tools linux gives you is most satisfying. My hats off to Poul!!!!
Re: Project Hydra: the USB Multiheaded Monster
can you provide your source for "Maxxtro adapters based on the pl2303 chip for about $15 each". I went looking for that on froogle/google and managed to land a heap of sites in .ru, which I'm not in the mood to buy from, really.
Re: Project Hydra: the USB Multiheaded Monster
Is this really cost effective?
Let's just say that the serial adapters are only going to cost us $25.00 each, and let's say we are only going to do 16 ports. For the $400 we are going to spend, it might be cheaper to get a used terminal server (16 or 32 ports) for the same price and have a dedicated hardware device.
Personally I am using the lantrontix series products and have several doing all my serial consoles.
Re: Is this really cost effective?
I think so. First, it seems a little unfair to compare used prices of lantronix hardware to "new" USB hardware prices. The list price of a 16-port lantronix is roughly $2,200 new (though admitedly you could beat that by shopping around a little). And the condition that you will only purchase used hardware can create a deficit when you need a new terminal right away. That is, the ease of extensibility of using USB means that I can drive down the street and spend $40 and have enough hardware to hook up the two new machines we just received; The hardware is common and available everywhere and I don't have to buy a 16-port server for two new machines. Also, the prices quoted in this article are not the best you can do. I have on occassion spotted good 7-port USB hubs for $12, and 4-port hubs for $5.
Finally, there is a hidden value. This solution is all open. You can do other things with it, like monitor UPS, control other serial devices, etc. It's completely flexible. One of the things I've been working on lately is using our old "useless" laptops as remote consoles. All of the virtual terminals are sessions back on the main console server, so we can have as many "heads" spread around the server room as we like, and we can move them to any location with a network port without having to log in twice...
Of course, the lantronix units provide a nice clean solution. One of the drawbacks of using USB for serial consoles is that you can end up with a "spiderweb" of cables. So if you're planning a new rack of 32 servers and you've got the money then a lantronix unit is a great solution. But if you've got a server room like ours with every different kind of UNIX hardware imaginable and non-rackable cases spread all over the place, you might find that the flexibility of using a USB solution is desireable.

Re: Project Hydra: the USB Multiheaded Monster
ohh yes, great article - thanks a lot for sharing poul.
Re: Project Hydra: the USB Multiheaded Monster
First off: great article! I'll be trying this out... Thanks.
About the software redirection: one of the kewl things bootloaders can do is give serial-console access. Hence, an option to pass parameters to the OS kernel before bootstraping (boot into initrd.img on ramdisk, and (try to) fix stuff from there) .
In Linux, to /etc/lilo.conf add "serial = 0,9600n8"
In OpenBSD, to /etc/boot.conf add "set tty com0"
(All? Others have such an option also - hell one might be able to use Linux or even FreeDOS as a bootloader/rescue for NT :-)).
Better yet, some mobos seem to be supported by LinuxBIOS:
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.

A high school classmate and contemporary drinking buddy, Mike, came over last night and we laid waste to a bunch of bombers. Bombers are a real sticking point in my backlog as I do not like to drink them by myself. I could, but I like when others help me to do so. This one came from Monde Market in Philly when I could not resist my own curiosity. For those that may not have seen me IRL, either in pictures or in person, I have a ten-plus year growth of beard as the result of my distaste for shaving. I retired from the U.S. Navy almost sixteen years ago and vowed not to shave unless told to do so for employment. I encourage everyone, men and women alike, to put down the razor! Who knows what kind of wild yeast we are losing out on because of shaving ...
From the bottle: "Dedicated to Beards"; "Beard Beer is brewed with a yeast created from Brewmaster John Maier's beard. No need to freak out, brewers have used wild yeasts in beer making for centuries. John has had the same old growth beard since 1978 and for over 15,000 brews, so it is no great surprise that a natural yeast ideal for brewing was discovered in his beard."; "What does Beard Beer taste like? Try it, we think you'll be surprised ..."; For more information on Beard beer, follow the beard @ www.johnsbeard.com".
I popped of the "Oxygen Fixing Cap" and proceeded with a generous aggro pour for each of us, resulting in a finger of foamy, bone-white head with limited retention. Nose smelled like Snak Pack Vanilla Pudding, taking both of us back to our childhood. Oh, the memories! Color was golden-yellow (SRM = 4 - 5, but they measured Lovibond = 6) with NE-quality clarity. Mouthfeel was full and kind of viscous. If the whole idea makes you queasy, this may not help. The taste had a definite yeast-driven spiciness, akin to a Belgian Golden Ale, along with a lemony zestiness. Another very dry beer with a peppery, spicy finish that lingered well past the swallow. If I had not been told anything about it, I might have guessed it to be an unfiltered German Pilsner.

Orange colour, bit of cloud. Head is white, foamy, decent lace. Quite nice.
Smells Belgian. Phenolic, bit earthy, touch of funk maybe. Bit of grass. Pleasant. A bit generic maybe.
Taste is more fruity with a touch of apricot midway. Pleasant Belgian spice notes with coriander and fennel blending into earthy phenolic finish. Nice and fresh for the most part. Quite a pleasant drop.
Bitty, foamy, gets nice and smooth by the end. Pleasant.
Drinks pleasantly; nice and palatable.

A: Pours a hazy gold with a thin, lingering white head.
S: Aromas of green apple, spiced pear, banana, plantain, clove, bubblegum, vanilla, and biscuit fill the nose.
T: Gentle, yet complex notes of banana, plantain, clove, spiced pear, green apple, bubblegum, vanilla, minerals, biscuits, crackers, grass, and lemon zest wash across the palate. The finish is dry with lingering notes of green apple, plantain, spiced pear, lemon zest, and minerals. A hint of lactic, musty funk cuts through the mix just before the fade.
M: Light in body and dry. Carbonation is airy, active, and crisp.
O: This is not what I normally think of when I think of American wild ales, and despite the strange, unappealing origin story of this beer, I like it quite a bit. In some ways, it is more reminiscent of a quirky Bavarian-style weissbier or an American take on a Belgian saison than a typical American wild ale.

Identity theft is a serious concern; in fact in 2011 more than 11 million adults became victims of identity fraud in the U.S. But don't despair — there are many precautions you can take to reduce your risk of becoming a victim.
For example, shredding is one of the most effective ways to dispose of sensitive records, documents or information. This is why we are hosting our Secure Your ID Day on Oct. 20 in Southfield. We are urging residents to take the time to come in and shred sensitive documents that could otherwise put them at risk. It is important to know how long to keep certain documents prior to shredding however, so we have posted a handy records retention schedule from the IRS on our site for you to review.
In addition, Global Electric Electronic Processing (GEEP) of Michigan will be on hand to collect computer hard drives, printers, copiers, scanners, desktops, laptops, keyboards, mice, cell phones, DVD and VCR players, free of charge, to be destroyed or recycled.
Shredding is only one of the efforts you can take however — below are a few more tips that can help:
- Cut up expired credit and debit cards by cutting through the numbers.
- Secure your personal documents at home and shred them when they are no longer needed.
- Minimize the personal information you print on checks.
- Monitor your bank and credit card transactions for unauthorized transactions.
- Don't create obvious passwords.
- If you conduct business online, use your own computer.
- Never respond to emails requesting to "verify" your personal information and identifiers.
- Never use e-mail to communicate sensitive personal information.
- Keep your computer system and browser software up to date, and set to the highest security level you can tolerate.
- Check your credit report at least once a year by calling 877-322-8228 or visiting www.AnnualCreditReport.com.
Finally, if you have become a victim, notify all necessary parties immediately. If your credit cards are lost or stolen, notify your credit providers by phone and then notify each of the three credit bureaus to request a "Fraud Alert" be placed on your file. If you've become of victim of a phishing scam, notify the companies with whom you have the exposed accounts right away and follow the instructions at the FTC web site.

It might sound crazy, but Bruins should keep Kaberle
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli told the assembled media in Minneapolis today that he's already held an initial meeting with agent Rick Curran to discuss his client Tomas Kaberle.
So far it's been difficult to gauge Chiarelli's enthusiasm level for bringing back the defenseman who cost the Bruins a top prospect and two high draft picks last February and then struggled to get comfortable in a Boston uniform.
In past years, Chiarelli hasn't been shy about getting deals done with his restricted and unrestricted free agents well in advance of the market opening. But this is a different situation, obviously, with the Bruins having played up to June 15 in order to win the Stanley Cup. And Kaberle is probably the weirdest case yet for Chiarelli because you can make the case that he's the first in-season acquisition that stayed healthy but didn't live up to expectations.
Now that's a Cup-champion general manager, Chiarelli certainly doesn't need any advice from this blog. But if I was in Chiarelli's seat, I'd get a deal done with Kaberle and keep my championship D corps together for a full season.
Many of you just rolled your eyes or whacked yourself in the head – maybe you even closed your browser or sent a virus to this site – after reading that declaration. Kaberle certainly had his faults during his four months in black and gold and earned his share of Bruins-backing detractors. That doesn't mean that he's a terrible player or he's destined to play in the future the way he sometimes stumbled in his first Bruins stint.
It's widely believed that Kaberle will have to take a pay cut into the $3 to $3.5 million range. This might not be completely true considering his track record and the ever-thinning pool of comparable puck-moving defensemen headed toward the open market. The pool was already thin before Andrei Markov and Kevin Bieksa were reportedly closing in on new deals without testing the waters. Combined with the increase in the salary cap, the thin pool might make Kaberle a more coveted asset than those who watched the Bruins' run to the Cup would believe.
Nonetheless, I wouldn't pay Kaberle more than $3.5 million. Chiarelli can fit him in at that amount without hurting his ability to upgrade the team or keep around a rookie or two next season without the performance-bonus cushion. Maybe Kaberle would be willing to take a "hometown discount" considering that other than Toronto, Boston was the only other place he wanted to play the last couple seasons when he was deciding whether to waive his no-trade clause. Publicly he said he still wants to stay here, so if he's to be taken at his word, maybe he'd trade location and term for the riches he might get elsewhere.
Now you're reading this and still screaming at the screen that at any price more than minimum wage you don't want to see Kaberle back. He didn't save the power play, was lackadaisical in his own end at times and lacked any sign of physicality.
Well, those things are mostly true. But I still think the reasons to keep Kaberle outweigh the reasons to let him walk, if the price is right. You start with that thin pool of replacements. After watching seven games against Vancouver, do you want the Bruins to sign Sami Salo or Christian Ehrhoff or even Bieksa? James Wisniewski has suddenly become popular among Bruins fans. He has some offensive upside but his decision-making and defensive lapses would surely make head coach Claude Julien tear his hair out if the Cup championship made him grow any.
The only legitimate game-changer headed to the free-agent market is Joni Pitkanen. He personifies all the tools you want in a "PMD" and he's in the prime of his career. He's also going to be looking for more than the $4 million he was making with Carolina. If you want to commit somewhere in the neighborhood of $5 million per season – for who knows how many seasons in this era of the lifetime contract – to a player who's known for his lapses and lulls over the course of 82 games, you obviously do not subscribe to the same team-building philosophies as Chiarelli.

I'm not a person that is susceptible to marketing nor do I care about what they say to make me interested in their product but seeing that its from the producers of Glee in every ad and seeing that their might be an emphasis on relationships and sex it doesn't sell the horror in the title.The premise also has made me very skeptical.Can they keep a show about a haunted house and its residents on air for more than one and a half seasons?

I watched the first episode of AHS & thought it was OK. I'm not crazy about the acting, but it was an interesting enough set up for me to want to see what happens next. As for Death Valley, I heard about it, but as soon as I saw it was on MTV I promptly forgot about it.

The woman who puts the bang in The Big Bang Theory talks about sexy nerds, dating your co-stars and going to the prom with Ashley Tisdale
PLAYBOY: We know you best for starring on two hit TV series that cast you as a hot, funny girl who can twist almost any guy around her little finger. On 8 Simple Rules you were John Ritter's teen-heartbreaker daughter. On The Big Bang Theory you're the sexy neighbor of Sheldon and Leonard, two brainy, socially inept, lovable sci-fi-addicted mathematicians who worship you. Does art imitate life?
CUOCO: From what I've been told and what I've observed, men seem to be intimidated by me. So I have to take the reins. I'm a bitch—like, the boldest person ever—so I'll go up to anybody and say, "You're absolutely friggin' adorable. Let's go out." They usually look at me with giant scared Ren and Stimpy eyes. But what's the worst that can happen if I ask them? I have to be honest; I don't think they're going to say no.
PLAYBOY: You and your co-stars were on a panel at this year's Comic-Con. Did any real-life Sheldons or Leonards approach you, thinking they had a shot?
CUOCO: People ask me, since I'm on a nerd show, if I like nerds. Obviously, I don't have a high IQ, but I've always liked nerds and quirky guys. At Comic-Con I told my cast mates, "I'm gonna find my future husband here." I want a guy who has balls enough to come up to me and be as bold as I am. It's sexy if a guy's in control. The jock type lasts only so long, though. I go for the musician or the writer every time, but I'm deeply, truly attracted to the funny guy. I'm always like, "Can you make me laugh? Because I will make you laugh."
PLAYBOY: What if he's funnier than you?
CUOCO: I don't want him to be funnier than me, but the men I've dated have all been pretty silly. The moderator for our Comic-Con panel was Chris Hardwick, and I had the biggest crush on him. The Big Bang guys all stared at me, like, "What the hell? You're the strangest girl." But Chris was so funny, which I find sexy. And Seth MacFarlane? Huge crush.
PLAYBOY: It's not like Big Bang was a big old hit right out of the gate. The ratings weren't great, and the critics didn't pile on the praise.
CUOCO: The first season of any show, let's be honest, can suck. Look back at the first season of Friends, Seinfeld, Frasier. We had eight episodes filmed for our first season, and when the writers' strike happened we thought we were done for. But they kept airing those eight shows. And the most genius thing was they started showing us on planes, where you're stuck unless you hate something so much you want to jump off. To get another chance, to keep getting picked up, is a dream come true. It doesn't happen much anymore.
PLAYBOY: After working so closely for four years, when do you and your fellow actors get on one another's nerves the most?
CUOCO: When you do a series, you're in a family. We fight, we bicker, but every Tuesday night when we film, the five of us get into a little circle—even when we don't want to—and say, "I love you." I try to keep everyone together because they get a little scatterbrained. I feel like Wendy to the Lost Boys. I tell them, "Ten years from now, we're not going to be here and we'll wish we were. These little moments are important."
PLAYBOY: So far, your character has bedded two of the show's rocket-scientist types. On-screen or off, is it a good idea to hook up romantically and/or sexually with a neighbor?
CUOCO: I'm not one to talk, because a co-star definitely counts as a neighbor, right? When I fell for Johnny Galecki [her co-star], we both knew immediately that we had this connection, and that was it. Even though in the back of your head you're like, Oh my God, this might end really bad, you don't give a shit. You're just in it. When that fire, that attraction is there, no one's going to tell me no. I love being a girlfriend, and I've had a lot of long-term relationships, but this whole dating thing is new to me.
PLAYBOY: Which of your co-stars, ex-boyfriend Johnny Galecki included, might give you the most grief about doing this interview?
CUOCO: Johnny and I are best friends. We're great. Actually, I haven't told any of the guys from the show that I'm doing this interview, but I think he might give me the most shit about it. I think they're all going to be mortified. I don't think any of them will be able to look at this issue.
PLAYBOY: You're often admired for your curvaceous body. Do you consider yourself sensual?
CUOCO: I hate almost everything about my body, but I'm pretty proud of my abs. I'm insane about spinning, yoga, horseback riding. With other women or in private, I walk around naked all the time. I don't care. But as open and sensual as I am, when it comes to getting waxed or even spray-tanned, I leave my bikini bottoms on. I'm a freak about it. I would rather stick a pencil in my eyeball than be naked.
PLAYBOY: When you were growing up, what was your role in the family Cuoco?
CUOCO: My mom is Irish, and my dad and the majority of the family are Italian, so there's lots of food, insanity and yelling. I have a sister who is three years younger than I am, and she, my parents and I were just watching home videos. Even at the age of five, there I am like a friggin' idiot, dancing around and getting in everyone's way. My dad was like, "Kaley, back up, back up," but you couldn't get my big fat face out of the camera. I couldn't get enough attention.
PLAYBOY: How did you most shame the family name growing up?
CUOCO: For all the noise in our house, I come from a conservative family with a lot of values and dinner at the table every night. I was such a goody two-shoes. I never touched a drug in my life. I was afraid to drink before I was 21, and though I did drink a little, I had constant guilt in my head. I got a tattoo at 17, and back then, that felt badass. But I already had a career. That was my real focus.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey promised a revenue neutral budget in a presentation to the Senate Finance Committee.
Much of the cost savings in the budget Morrisey outlined Wednesday would come from reduced use of outside counsel for the state's legal affairs.
Morrisey did request $1.8 million in supplemental money for the replacement of an outdated phone system, an upgrade to the office's email system and the hiring of seven new employees.
Morrisey said that his office's civil rights division is a concern because it must enforce violations of the state's housing and employment non-discrimination policies, but it is unable to recoup fees. Morrisey called the division's costs unsustainable and asked the legislature to either allow it to recoup fees or to make additional appropriations.

NASHVILLE, Tennessee — Tennessee health officials said Wednesday they disagree with a letter from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that accuses the state of failing to provide certain services as required by the federal health care law.
According to the letter dated June 27, of seven critical success factors required of states, Tennessee has met only one — the ability to receive and process application files from the health insurance marketplace.
Federal officials gave the state 10 days to submit a correction plan.
"We remain available to work with you to answer any questions and to provide technical assistance," CMS deputy director Cindy Mann said in the letter.
TennCare spokeswoman Kelly Gunderson told The Associated Press in an email on Wednesday that "there are numerous aspects of the letter with which we do not agree and we are currently working on our response to CMS."
She didn't specify what the state disagreed with in the letter.
One of the main criticisms is the state's delay in bringing a $35 million computer system online.
In the letter, Mann said her agency had expressed concerns for the past nine months about continued delays and the "downstream impact" on the state's ability to enroll Medicaid-eligible people.
Darin Gordon is the director of TennCare, the state's expanded Medicaid program that covers 1.2 million Tennesseans.
He told The Tennessean newspaper in a recent interview that he would have liked to have seen better performance from Northrop Grumman, the company that won the bid to build the $35 million computer system.
"Out of their total $35 million contract, they've been paid $5 million," Gordon said. "They met those deliverables to get paid that $5 million, but they haven't met the others. That's why they haven't been paid."
Gordon said TennCare's project management team had "grown skeptical" of the company's ability to predict benchmarks toward bringing the system online. He said the state will contract with another company to audit Northrop Grumman's progress and provide projections for when it will be ready.
Other concerns expressed in the letter note Tennessee does not provide people with in-person assistance, and the state has not set up a program that allows hospitals to temporarily enroll people in Medicaid if they are presumed eligible.
Tennessee stopped providing state personnel to help people sign up for Medicaid and, instead, began directing them to use healthcare.gov, the federal health exchange.
Michele Johnson, executive director of the Tennessee Justice Center, a leading advocate for TennCare enrollees, said the exchange wasn't designed to assess eligibility in all the categories that Tennessee Medicaid covers.
"And that impacts babies, it impacts pregnant women, and it impacts children who are very sick," she said.
