SAS and three of its affiliate airlines are to order 27 regional jet and turboprop aircraft from Bombardier as part of a compensation deal related to problems faced last year with Q400 turboprops.
The Scandinavian airline group and Bombardier say in separate statements that the deal covers firm orders for 27 aircraft plus options for 24 more.
Bombardier says SAS and Estonian Air have placed firm orders for 13 CRJ900 NextGen regional jets and taken options on another 17. Widerøe and AirBaltic have ordered 14 Q400 NextGen turboprops and taken options for seven more.
SAS says the orders are part of a settlement agreement with Bombardier and Goodrich regarding landing gear incidents last year with its Q400s that resulted in the grounding of the fleet.
"The details of the agreement are confidential but SAS Group confirms the total financial compensation is slightly more than SEK 1 billion ($164 million) in the form of a cash payment and credits for future firm and optional aircraft orders," it says.
"As part of the agreement, the board of directors of SAS has approved an order for 27 aircraft, with an option for a further 24 aircraft."
Deliveries are to begin in the autumn of this year and continue until 2011, it says.

The Savoy London
A British icon since 1889, The Savoy has once again taken its place on the world stage after over a £100 million restoration. The hotel seamlessly blends elements of the original and the new while the stunning English Edwardian and Art Deco interiors sparkle with timeless elegance and glamour. The 268 guestrooms and suites are the last word in style, luxury and discreet technology with stunning views of London and the River Thames. Nine "personality suites" have been styled after some of The Savoy's most high profile guests while a newly created 2-bedroom Royal Suite is truly a suite fit for a King. The Savoy continues the tradition of culinary excellence started by Auguste Escoffier with the return of Gordon Ramsay to the Savoy Grill and the reopening of the beloved River Restaurant. Legendary bartender Harry Craddock's classic cocktails are still served in the newly renovated American Bar and the new Beaufort Bar offers one of the finest selections of Champagne in the city. With an enviable location on the River Thames, the London hotel is literally steps away from some of the world's finest theatres, museums and opera houses. Its proximity to the City means The Savoy is ideally placed whether you are coming to London for business or pleasure.

Boost your AdWords Campaign with Landing Pages
Many companies running pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns are unfortunately sending traffic their website which may be poorly designed, have poor usability, no clear call-to-action, load slowly and a host of other issues that are deterring visitors from converting into leads or sales. Another common issue I notice is when PPC ads point directly to the home page. Since the home page is typically a very busy page that can have several products, services and content that forces the visitor to search for what they're looking for on the page and could potentially result in leaving the website. This is why it's [...]

The tactical RPG Grimshade collects $100,000 and reveals details about the battlefield
The tactical RPG Grimshade collects $100,000 and reveals details about the battlefield
tactical RPG Grimshade The Asterion Games and TaleRock studios are happy to announce that they have reached their Kickstarter goal and collected $100,000 (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/talerock/grimshade . Thank you to everyone who supported us! The game will be available on Steam at the end of the year for 25$.
The Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/858100/Grimshade/
We also want to tell you about the work on the combat system in Grimshade. We were inspired by classical JRPGs and games like HoMM, Darkest Dungeon, Final Fantasy, etc.
Battles take place on a battlefield, which is split into two parts that are 3×4 cells in size each. Each side belongs to either the player or the opponent, and movement to the other side is restricted.
Battle is turn-based, and each turn is based on the conditional turn-based battle system, or CTB. The position on the CTB scale before the start of battle is determined by the actions of each character. During battle, each character uses skills, which are tied to the speed indicator. Any action—be it moving, waiting, or using a skill—spends a certain amount of speed and moves a unit on the CTB scale by this amount.
The skills of the characters and monsters are determined by which row on the battlefield they are in, and on which row of the opposite battlefield they are acting on. Therefore, skills that move enemies on the battlefield are highly valued. For example, you move an archer to the first row. What will that do? First, he can be attacked by melee units. Second, the archer won't be able to shoot arrows at point-blank range. Other control skills can take a unit's ability to move away or change his position on the CTB scale.
Each unit in the game has two indicators: HP and tension. They (or one of them) determine the damage of each skill. With HP, everything is simple—if the indicator falls to zero, the unit dies. Tension knocks out monsters, pushing them back on the CTB scale. It's a bit more difficult with characters because the mechanics of game characters are attached to tension. For example, Alister should be calm in combat, but high tension prevents him from using skills. Ruby is the opposite, though: the higher her tension, the better she fights. And if Kiba's tension is above 50, then it changes his set of skills.
After the battle, all of the characters' tension is reset to the base value and life is fully restored. However, during battle, any hero can get injured. A character is injured when he has very low health reserves or when he receives huge damage. Injuries reduce the basic characteristics of characters, including their damage and combat potential. You can only get rid of injuries in safe zones, but getting to one is not a simple task when you are in the middle of a hostile location.
Moreover, each unit has avoidance tokens in battle. The token completely absorbs one hit and restores over time. Every character has different ways to get and restore tokens, as well as to get the maximum number of them. This encourages you to think of a strategy of getting your opponents' tokens. For example, use quick and powerful blows to take them away from your opponent, and then deal a powerful blow to finish him off before he has the time to get new tokens.

This is a new venture within LSA's longterm outreach plan to make the work of linguists accessible to non-linguists. A workshop to launch this new project is planned for the LSA annual meeting in January (final approval of the workshop is pending). At the workshop, four speakers will present clips from videos they have prepared, and will discuss how they set about creating them. Also, there will be a continuous show of submitted videos at display stations in the halls. Advice on technical matters will be provided. Ideas for further extensions of the project will be discussed. We invite all LSA members to submit videos, to be included in the hallway display and then situated at the website when it is opened to the public. Any topic on language is appropriate. We suggest adapting whatever has proven most successful in introductory class presentations, but we encourage linguists to take advantage of the medium to prepare graphics and illustrations that go beyond usual classroom style. To appeal to this non-captive audience, presentations should be simple in concept and attractive to the eye.

WEST GLACIER, MONT. – Glacier National Park Officials are pleased to announce that three men stranded in the park on Mt. Brown overnight Sunday, December 26, 2010, successfully made it off the mountain Monday morning and are all in excellent condition.
On Sunday 18-year-old Dan House, 18-year-old James McCarthy, and 20-year-old Justin Newton, all from Kalispell, Montana, attempted to reach the Fire lookout on Mt Brown located northeast of the head of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. The group started out on snowshoes at about 11 a.m. planning to ski down before dusk. They ran out of light before they could exit the mountain. Around 6:30 p.m., one of the men was able to use a cell phone to notify a family member that they were stranded. The family member then notified Flathead County Dispatch about an hour later. The group was not able to provide an accurate location.
Glacier National Park rangers and members of the volunteer Flathead County Search and Rescue team started searching for the group around 9 p.m. Visibility was very limited due to wind and snow. Searchers covered high-probability areas, scanned for signs of fire, and used whistles to try to locate the group. Ranger and search and rescue volunteers spent the entire night unsuccessfully looking for the three men.
In the early morning hours, a ranger sent a text message to one of the group's cell phones requesting them to call 911. Monday morning around 8 a.m. they called 911, and Flathead County Dispatch was able to get a latitude and longitude pinpointing where the group was located. The group reported that they had been able to make a fire, shelter in place, and all three were doing well. With an exact location, a group from the Flathead Nordic Ski Patrol and a park service employee headed up to meet the group. At 10:30 a.m., the ski patrol made contact, and all three men were in excellent condition. Everyone was off the mountain around 11 a.m.
Incident Commander park ranger Gary Moses says the park is very appreciative of the mutual aid it received from the Flathead County Search and Rescue team and the Flathead Nordic Ski Patrol. Moses also reminds visitors that mountain weather conditions can change quickly, and recommends that winter recreationists prepare for all types of weather conditions, terrain hazards like avalanches, and for the possibility of unplanned extended stays.

This didn't stand up to the Josephine B. series but I still thought it was a good book. Good if you like reading historical fiction.
Disappointing! I loved the Josephine B. Trilogy and this book didn't even come close to my high expectations for Gulland. A romance that didn't have much of a story line and was tedious to read (having said that, I did finish it!)
A disappointing second novel from the author of the Josephine B trilogy. The narrative is weak and character development shallow.

At Weil, it is in our DNA to
ask, "How can we do it better?" It
is in that spirit that we launched
Upstanders@Weil. This year-long,
firmwide initiative is a first-of-its-kind program that encourages
everyone at Weil to stand up for
inclusion in the workplace and
at home.
Upstanders@Weil broadens
the "ally" concept beyond the
LGBT community, where it has
traditionally been applied, and
encourages people to be supporters and advocates for people and
communities of different backgrounds. Our program was inspired
by the non-profit Facing History
and Ourselves, which developed
the "Upstanders" catch-phrase to
differentiate between allies who
take action from well-meaning, but
more passive, bystanders. We took
this approach because it provides
individuals with many avenues
for being proponents of diversity
and instills the message that, in all
facets of life, at work, at home, and
even outside on the street, there is
always a way to be an Upstander.
Upstanders Listen Up, ShowUp, Talk Up and Speak Up. Thesefour actions touch everythingfrom reading, asking questions,and listening to learn about peoplefrom different backgrounds, toparticipating in programs whereyou will be in the minority, to ad-vocating for colleagues of differentbackgrounds, to interrupting biasand stereotyping in the moment orafter the fact. Weil Upstanders areencouraged to encompass thesecharacteristics and consider newways in which they can implementthe four behaviors in to their workand personal lives.
"There are so many ways that
Weil employees have been and
continue to be Upstanders, taking
on projects big and small, both
in-house and out," says Jacqueline
Marcus, chair of Weil's Diversity Committee. "We hope that by
showcasing our Upstanders, we
will encourage others, both within
and outside the firm, to follow
suit," she continues.
For instance, our partners"Listen Up" by mentoring throughWomen@Weil's mentoring circlesin order to understand the experi-ences of women associates. Attor-neys and staff in New York "ShowUp" by educating middle schoolstudents from the South Bronxthrough PENCIL, an organizationthat creates ongoing collabora-tion between business and publicschools. And Weil's BusinessDevelopment team "Talks Up" bysupporting diverse pitch teams,while designated ManagementCommittee members "Speak Up"to ensure the firm's affinity groupvoices are heard.
We developed Upstanders@
Weil entirely in-house, instead of
working with an outside organization. This allowed us, as the Global
Diversity & Social Responsibility
team and Diversity Committee, to
take what we know about Weil's
culture and fully implement these
practices into the Upstander initiative. By developing a suite of resources for the program in-house,
not only were we able to better
create an awareness and education
program to fit Weil's needs, we
were also able to speak to a larger
group of people within the firm,
from management to partners,
to associates to staff, to better
understand the way this program
could be the most effective in their
day-to-day lives.
Materials produced include the
Upstander Action Guide, the
Upstander Fact Sheet, an Interactive
Diversity Theater training module,
and the Upstander@Weil video.

A Small Gideon Army
F. Earle Fox
St Luke's REC, Santa Ana, CA
Audio Version
Easter V - 05/22/11 Deut. 28:1-14; Ps. 65; James 1:22-27; Jn. 16:23b-33
If we at St. Luke's are going to be anything at all, it will be just that, at least for the foreseeable future, a small Gideon army. God told Gideon to attack the Amalekites who had overrun the land. Gideon's army was already smaller than the Amalekites, but God told him to pare it down again and again. He had raised an army of 32,000, but the Lord had him pare it down to 300 to defeat the far larger Amalekite army because God did not want anybody mistaking who it was that did the defeating of the Amalekites. God was going to do it.
We are at a turning point in the life of St. Luke's Church, a time of remembering and of looking forward -- this being our last Sunday here in Waverley Chapel, with a move to the Pavilion Chapel across the street taking place beginning this Wednesday, with Evensong and prayers for the new province, the Anglican Church in North America.
I want to spend the sermon outlining what I believe to be the mission of the Church in our time and age, including the mission of St. Luke's, and what I believe to be my mission as your priest in charge. It is the mission I have felt called to for almost 50 years of ministry.
The sermon will be short, because then I hope that we will be able to have candid discussion after the service to sort out the unity among us on where we should be heading. Neither the move to the Pavilion nor the reasons for doing so are the big issue, but rather -- What is the task to which we are called as Christians today, in the circumstances of our culture?
It began for me in college when the Lord and I struck a bargain, that I wanted to be a Christian, and that He would show me that the Christian faith made good sense. Shortly after that, an event happened which had to be an act of God. A professor appeared at Trinity College in Hartford, CT, who began the religion department there. He was teaching that the Biblical worldview is the only logically consistent worldview there is. It was under his teaching that I developed those two drawings of the Biblical and the secular/pagan worldviews, which I have used ever since. That was an astonishing answer to prayer -- God sent to me the only person I have ever known who could have done for me what he did.
Another similar event happened which propelled me off to Oxford for my doctorate. A professor at General Seminary suggested that I apply to Oxford. I had no idea of going there, but on the off chance of something happening, I sent an application. My application was accepted, and again, the Lord put me under the tutelage of someone who did for me what no one else could have done. He showed me how to rewrite the cosmological argument for God in a manner which, I believe, puts that argument back as a centerpiece of Biblical theology, giving an airtight argument against the secular view of the cosmos as evolving out of a primordial something-or-other. God holds the intellectual, moral, and spiritual high ground and is inviting us to join Him there.
The Christian community in the West had fallen into deep disarray over the preceding several centuries, but God was showing me that we could recover our intellectual credibility, and on that foundation of truth, recover also our moral and spiritual credibility. We had lost our leadership in the public arena, but could get it back with a sound and credible testimony to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
It has been largely on that basis that I have said that we need a new Reformation, just as the first great Reformation of the 15- and 1600s. We need, that is, to catch up on the enormous changes which have developed since that time, and we need to deal with corruptions which have also happened during that time.
There have also been enormous blessings from God over the last several centuries -- the development of science which has affected our understanding of our own human nature, it has affected our understanding of politics, economics, psychology, sociology, and many other things which impinge on how we live our Christian lives, even theology. But many Christians have not been able to digest those new things because secularism has falsely claimed the credit for those advances -- probably none of which could have happened apart from the Biblical worldview and Gospel. The result has been Christians drifting into the backwaters of culture, with both ourselves and God being ignored as important in decision-making.
To stay a "reformed" church, we need to keep on reforming, not rest on our past laurels. Any legitimate reformation must, like the first, be built as best we can on Biblical principles, mined right from the pages of the Bible.
That has been the project of my life -- to search the Scriptures for ways to meet the challenges of our present times. The teaching from Edmond Cherbonnier, who taught me that the Biblical worldview is the only logically consistent world view, has not let me down. Time and time again, his thesis has been proven true. It did not stop with his courses at Trinity College, nor did it stop with my work at Oxford under Ian Ramsey. It has continued on unabated right to the present time. There has not been one single issue of importance in which the Biblical way of doing things has not shown itself to be superior, more human-friendly, and another part of that blessing beyond measure which we call salvation, sanctification, and the Kingdom of Heaven.
The secular and pagan worlds are not just two more "interesting options" open to the public from which to choose. They both are the disaster of the Fall, leading to self-destruction. We should be able and willing to say to pagan and secular folks that they are living in the world of the Fall, and that without the intervention of God, there is no way back out to intellectual, moral, or spiritual sanity. Truth will die, and so will we. But very few Western Christians are even thinking of saying that.
This is not primarily an "intellectual" challenge, although it is about clear thinking. Most of us do not major in intellectual things. But we all should be majoring in truth-seeking and truth-speaking. When mother asks 3-year old Johnny, "Johnny, did you put your hand in the cookie jar?" -- little squirming Johnny, who can hardly be called an intellectual, knows exactly what she is asking for -- the truth, not a lie. He knows the difference.
Truth is primarily an intuitive, experienced, and relational thing, not an abstract and intellectual thing. It has to do with how we conduct our relationships in the give and take of life. We do the truth as well as think the truth. We are all involved in truth-telling (or its opposite) no matter what our intellectual gifts or interests. God has a place for everyone of us in this project of spiritual renewal.
The Deuteronomy lesson was about the Lord's desire to bless His people, if they would obey His commandments and follow His directions.
And if you obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. All these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God.
Dear friends, that happened right here in the United States of America. During the 1800's, people swarmed to our shores, not all of them, but many of them, because they wanted to be under our kind of government -- which was to a significant degree under God.
So my question and challenge to you, the members of St. Luke's Reformed Episcopal Church, is -- Do you want to be a part of such a reformation, a small community of devoted Christians who are learning to meet the challenges of our times with truth and grace?
We may remain small for some time. But if we intentionally work at becoming witnesses for the truth of God, if we intentionally work at getting trained to respond to the disaster that is hanging over Western Civilization, there will be growth. There are many people we pass by every day who are looking for something substantial, something which has real answers to their problems.
Still, let us work and look, not for numbers, but for the salvation of souls. God, Himself, will then, as He promised, bless us with numbers and growth.

Hmm… let's see. The Celtics struggled badly with rebounds Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. They also couldn't move the ball offensively, find open shots or accomplish anything in the paint.
The Celtics played the Mavericks without Kevin Garnett (family matter), Brandon Bass (knee) and Rajon Rondo (two-game suspension). They lost to the Mavericks, 89-73.
For some reason, I can't help but think the two previous paragraphs are related.
Nowitzki's Double-Double Highlights Celtics Struggles
Without Garnett or Bass, the Celtics had few options for defending Dirk Nowitzki. Whoever Boston sent at Nowitzki, he made that defender look silly.
It didn't matter if Nowitzki was in the low post, high post, top of the key, whatever. Nowitzki scored 21 of his game-high 26 points in the first half, including a run of 10 consecutive points in the second quarter. A particularly abusive move on Jermaine O'Neal highlighted that run.
Along with all those points came 16 rebounds and two blocks. The Mavericks out-rebounded the Celtics eight, grabbing 13 offensive rebounds to the Celtics' five. They also out-scored the Celtics 32-18 in the paint, getting a solid nine points from reserve power forward Brandan Wright.
Wright scored an alley-oop bucket from reserve guard Jason Terry (16 points on 6-of-11 shooting) in the second, then added an emphatic dunk in the fourth. He also grabbed two offensive rebounds in the same possession, eventually kicking it out to Terry for a three-pointer that put the Mavericks up 40-26 in the second.
The Celtics showed moments of offensive consistency that led to moves in the paint, in particular a fast-break dunk by Ray Allen followed by a dribble-penetration from Paul Pierce that made it 44-34 late in the second. But overall the Celtics never looked in rhythm, throwing up crazy shots in the lanes or running anemically into defenders for easy blocks.
Pierce (20 points), Allen (15) and Avery Bradley (12) did their best, but with Bradley running the offense the Celtics lose most of the fluidity Rondo typically brings. And with so few second-chance scoring opportunities, the Celtics' stiff, disjointed offense just meant more minutes on defense.
The Celtics didn't lead at any point during Monday's game. Their five-point deficit after one quarter became 10 after two and 17 after three.
Nowitzki Leaves in Fourth, Celtics Try Going Deep
Nowitzki exited the game with just over six minutes left in the fourth and his team up 85-61. The Celtics played the fourth quarter with desperation, going all-or-nothing with three-point shots. Of the 24 shots the Celtics took from behind the arch Monday, 12 came in the fourth quarter, and only four went in. The Celtics knocked down seven total treys.
The Celtics gave away far, far more possessions with this strategy than with their earlier "run around aimlessly and hope we get lucky" strategy, shooting 44 percent from two-point range but under 30 percent from downtown. And the Mavericks matched the Celtics' three-point output, swishing seven of their own, including four from Terry.
E'Twaun Moore and Mickael Pietrus each scored two three-pointers for the Celtics. Pietrus drained his second from 29 feet away with a minute left in the third to make it 68-51 Mavericks. The Celtics got two more on a tip-shot from JaJuan Johnson, but Wright canceled it with a tip-shot of his own with 0.6 seconds left in the quarter.
Celtics' Losing Streak Continues With No End in Sight
The Celtics have now lost their last four games, and six of their last seven. Between Garnett's and Bass' injuries that never seem to heal – recalling Shaquille O'Neal's situation last year – and Rondo's suspension further derailing his return to form, the Celtics have lost much of what made them at least competitive, if not actually good.
The Celtics can't rebound. They can't pass. They can't score in the paint. They can defend, but only at the guard positions, and only for a little while. The bench barely exists (24 points on 29 percent shooting). And all the people best-suited to fix this are currently on the sidelines, leaving nothing but gaping holes for players like Nowitzki to slash through with ease.
Boston holds a two-game lead over Cleveland for the final playoff spot. The Cavaliers are 6-7 since their own four-game losing streak ended back in January, but they next play the Pistons and Hornets – two of the worst teams in the NBA.
The Celtics, meanwhile, will conclude the first half of the season against Kevin Durant and the Thunder Wednesday. They begin the second half against the Cavaliers, who if nothing changes could very well knock the Celtics out of the top eight.

1. Introduction to the Solaris X Server
Applications That Run With the Solaris X Server
OpenWindows Directory Structure
2. DPS Features and Enhancements
3. Visuals on the Solaris X Server
6. Transparent Overlay Windows
The Solaris X server, XSun, is composed of the X Consortium's X11R6 sample server with the Display PostScript (DPS) imaging system extension, additional X Consortium X extensions, and Sun added value. The Solaris X server is the foundation for the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) and underlies the CDE desktop. The server handles communication between client applications, the display hardware, and input devices. By default, the Solaris X server runs with the CDE dtlogin and window manager (dtwm), but any X Window System manager that is ICCCM (Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual) compliant runs with the server. Software developers can write applications for the Solaris environment using the Xlib library or a variety of toolkits, including the Motif toolkit and the Xt toolkit.
The following figure illustrates the relationship between the Solaris X server, several desktop client applications, the display, and input devices.
An important component of the Solaris X server is the X11R6 sample server from the X Consortium. The X11R6 sample server was designed and implemented to be portable; it hides differences in the underlying hardware from client applications. The sample server handles all drawing, interfaces with device drivers to receive input, and manages off-screen memory, fonts, cursors, and colormaps.
The sample server contains the following parts, or layers:
Device-Independent Layer (DIX) – Dispatches client requests, manages the event queue, distributes events to clients, and manages visible data structures. This layer contains functions that do not depend on graphics hardware, input devices, or the host operating system.
Device-Dependent Layer (DDX) – Creates and manipulates pixmaps, clipping regions, colormaps, screens, fonts, and graphics contexts. In addition, the DDX layer collects events from input devices and relays them to the DIX layer. This layer contains routines that depend on graphics hardware and input devices the server must accommodate.
Operating System Layer (OS) – Manages client connections and connection authorization schemes, and provides routines for memory allocation and deallocation. The OS layer contains functions that rely on the host operating system.
Font Management Library – The font management library enables the server to use font files of different formats and to load fonts from the X font server. The server's font features are described in detail in Chapter 4, Font Support.
The following figure illustrates the structure of the server. Note that throughout this document, server is used interchangeably with the Solaris X server, and sample server is used interchangeably with the X Consortium's X11R6 sample server.
Figure 1-2 Solaris X Server Architecture
In addition to the X11R6 sample server, the Solaris X server includes the Display PostScript system. DPS provides X applications with the PostScript imaging model and with access to the Adobe Type Library. The Display PostScript system is implemented as an extension to the X Window System as part of the client-server network architecture; the extension is sometimes referred to as DPS/XThis section is based on Chapter 2 of Programming the Display PostScript System with X by Adobe Systems Incorporated (Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc., 1993) and is used with the permission of the copyright holder..
In the DPS system, the PostScript interpreter is implemented as an extension to the X server, and each application is a client. The application sends PostScript language code to the server through single operator calls, and data can be returned from the server in the form of output arguments. DPS client-server communication is implemented transparently using the low-level communication protocols provided by the X Window System. For more information on the DPS system, see Chapter 2, DPS Features and Enhancements.
The Solaris X server supports X extensions as defined by the X Consortium. These extensions are briefly described in the sections below. The sections provide the specification name for each extension, as well as the associated file name (on ftp.x.org) in parentheses. For information on the standard X Extension Mechanism, see The X Window System Server and the Xlib Programming Manual.
The X Consortium X11 standards referenced in the following sections are readily available to systems on the World Wide Web. The URL is http://www.rdg.opengroup.org The X11 documentation resides in the /pub/R6untarred/mit/doc/extensions directory on the ftp.x.org machine. Use the file transfer protocol (ftp) to download files from this system. If you need help using ftp, refer to the ftp(1) man page. To determine if your system is connected to the World Wide Web, see your system administrator.
The X Input Extension is Sun's implementation of the X Consortium standard, X11 Input Extension Protocol Specification (/pub/X11/R6.1/xc/doc/specs/Xi/protocol.ms). This extension controls access to alternate input devices (that is, other than the keyboard and pointer). It allows client programs to select input from these devices independently of each other and independently of the core devices.
The double buffer extension (DBE) is Sun's implementation of the X Consortium standard. Double-buffering provides flicker-free animation capabilities by allowing applications to show the user only completely rendered frames. Frames are rendered in a non-displayed buffer and then moved into a displayed buffer.
The Shape Extension is Sun's full implementation of the X Consortium standard, X11 Nonrectangular Window Shape Extension (shape.ms). This extension provides the capability of creating arbitrary window and border shapes within the X11 protocol.
The Shared Memory extension is Sun's full implementation of the X Consortium experimental Shared Memory Extension (mit-shm.ms). This extension provides the capability to share memory XImages and pixmaps by storing the actual image data in shared memory. This eliminates the need to move data through the Xlib interprocess communication channel; thus, for large images, system performance increases. This extension is useful only if the client application runs on the same machine as the server.
The XTEST extension is Sun's full implementation of the X Consortium proposed standard, X11 Input Synthesis Extension Proposal (xtest1.mm). This extension provides the capability for a client to generate user input and to control user input actions without a user being present. This extension requires modification to the DDX layer of the server.
The MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD extension was developed at MIT and does not have a standard, or specification, on the ftp.x.org machine. This extension handles miscellaneous erroneous protocol requests from X11R3 and earlier clients. It provides a request that turns on bug-compatibility mode so that certain erroneous requests are handled or turns off bug-compatibility mode so that an error for erroneous requests is returned. The extension also provides a request that gets the current state of the mode.
This extension can be dynamically turned on or off with xset, or at server startup with openwin. See the xset(1) and openwin(1) man pages, specifically the -bc option, for more information.
This standard X Consortium extension allows an application to recycle XIDs. Some applications create and destroy XIDs so rapidly that they exceed the fixed range of XIDs. Most applications do not need to use this extension. The specification is in /pub/X11/xc/doc/specs/Xext/xc-misc.ms
The X Imaging Extension (XIE) is Sun's implementation of the X Consortium standard.
The Solaris X server also supports keyboard features compliant with the American Disabilities Act (ADA). These features are available through an extension to the server, called AccessX. The AccessX extension provides the following capabilities: sticky keys, slow keys, toggle keys, mouse keys, bounce keys and repeat keys. Use the client program accessx to enable and disable these capabilities. The accessx client controls the toggle, bounce, and repeat keys and their settings. The sticky, slow, and mouse keys can be enabled using shift or other keys. For information on using AccessX, see the Solaris User's Guide.
Before running accessx, set the UIDPATH environment variable to /usr/openwin/lib/app-defaults/accessx.uid.
The accessx client is part of the SUNWxwacx package. To install it, you need to install the All Cluster.
The Solaris X server includes the Sun extension SUN_SME, Sun's implementation of a shared memory transport mechanism. This extension provides the capability of sending client requests to the server via shared memory. Shared memory is used for client requests only. Replies from the server and events are sent via the default transport mechanism. To enable this transport mechanism, set the DISPLAY environment variable to :x.y, where x is the display number, and y is the screen number, and set the environment variable XSUNTRANSPORT to shmem. The size of the segment can be set by setting the environment variable XSUNSMESIZE to the desired size in Kbytes. By default, XSUNSMESIZE is set to 64.
The Solaris X server supports two application programmer's interfaces (APIs) that enable use of overlay windows. An overlay is a pixel buffer (either physical or software-simulated) into which graphics can be drawn. Applications can use overlays to display temporary imagery in a display window. For more information on the overlay APIs, see Chapter 5, Server Overlay Windows and Chapter 6, Transparent Overlay Windows.
The following table lists the X11 libraries. The .so and .a files that comprise these
libraries are in /usr/openwin/lib.
Table 1-1 X11 Libraries
For 64-bit Solaris installations, 64-bit versions of the following X11 shared libraries are located in /usr/openwin/lib/sparcv9.
In addition, 64-bit versions of the following lint libraries for programmers are
located in /usr/openwin/lib/sparcv9

NEWPORT, RI - On the second and final day of racing for the Vietor Trophy, sustained winds exceeding 20 plus miles per hour and rough water conditions plagued the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth sailing team all day at Newport. Several sailors were retired in mid-race, due to boats hampered by water intake.
Prior to the day's final race, UMass Dartmouth's coaches decided to withdraw from the field.
"We were about to send novice athletes out, and I determined that the conditions were too strong," said Head Coach Jerry Jennings. "Our skill level has not yet reached a comfort zone for possible consequences. It was the prudent decision. We admired those teams whose expertise enabled them to compete in these trying conditions, and hope to keep learning to improve our competitive presence in challenging settings.
"Saturday's results were inconclusive with the slate incomplete," added Jennings. "Diminishing westerly winds dropped to less than three miles per hour, causing a postponement and finally cancellation of the day's schedule."
The Corsairs will compete at the Southern Series One, hosted by Salve Regina, next weekend.

Citizen's Arrest Laws by State
1. Parentheses. "Source ____" means the link goes to the language of the statute, but not from an official government site. We include these because government databases can be very difficult to link correctly, and these external sites can provide an easier to find reference. These may not keep up with the official source, and may be inaccurate."Judicial Rules" means the linked item is not a statute, but rules of the judiciary. "Official Source ____" is the statute from an official, .gov website or Lexis Nexis database and will be accurate. "More information from _____" indicates useful information for someone looking to make a citizen's arrest in that state. "Attorney General's opinion" are opinions from the state's attorney general that in some way either lay out the grounds for a citizens arrest, or the type of offense required for a citizen's arrest to be legal.
2. Search for. Many government databases simply do not provide a way to link to the actual statute. When this happens, and an outside source cannot be found, we will note "search for" and the statute number to look for.
3. *. * Indicate detailed notes about a statute, or the lack thereof.
4. FELONY REQUIRED and variations. These indicate a state citizen's arrest statute that specifically requires a felony to be committed before a citizen can take action, ruling out most arrests of elected officials. The lack of this indicator does NOT mean that a felony is not required, only that it is not clear whether the simple commission of a crime, a misdemeanor or a felony is required. Please check the linked statutes before taking any action.
5. This should not be considered legal advice. This list is a database of citizen's arrest statutes and rules to aid anyone in making the right legal decisions before attempting a citizen's arrest. It should not be construed as legal advice, and before taking action you may want to contact an attorney or other certified legal adviser.

*We could not find the code for citizens arrest in Maryland statutes, but there is a UMD article and a MD Attorney General opinion that come to the same conclusion on the current law as of 2005 in Maryland.
FELONY REQUIRED Massachusetts (Commonwealth v. Harris, look at page 170)*

Mississippi (Official Source, search for § 99-3-7)
Missouri (Attorney General opinion 1970)*
Missouri (Official Source, citizen use of force during arrest)
*We could not find the official citizen's arrest statute in Missouri, but we found an AG opinion that seems to point to any felony, or any misdemeanor which is either a breach of peace or a larceny, and Missouri statutes on the use of force when making a citizen's arrest that clearly state "has committed an offense, and who in fact has committed such offense" and does not limit the offense to a simple felony.
FELONY OR LARCENY REQUIRED Nebraska (Official Source)
FELONY REQUIRED New Hampshire (Official Source, citizen use of force during an arrest, search for 627.5)*
*We could not find the official citizen's arrest statute in New Hampshire, but state statutes on the use of force make it clear that "reasonably believes to have committed a felony and who in fact has committed that felony" is a requirement. Therefore, until we can find more information, it is listed as FELONY REQUIRED.
New York (Official Source, search for § 140.30)
North Carolina (Official Source 1, warrant for arrest)*
North Carolina (Official Source 2)
*North Carolina law only allows citizens to detain, not arrest, offenders. The legal difference is murky, but make sure not to say the words "citizen's arrest" when you are detaining another person in North Carolina, as it is specifically prohibited by state statute. North Carolina is also the only state to allow any person to get a warrant for arrest based upon probable cause and oath or affirmation, providing another avenue to bring corrupt officials to justice.
North Dakota (Official Source, search for S. 29-06-20)
FELONY REQUIRED Ohio (Official Source)
Pennsylvania (Official Source, citizen use of force during arrest)*
*We could not find the official citizens arrest law for Pennsylvania. The closest we found was 18-508, referring to the correct use of force during a citizen's arrest. Since there is a statute that lays out the proper use of force during an arrest, the implication would be that citizen's arrests can be made in Pennsylvania. However, the statute gives no guidance as to the grounds for that arrest. UPDATE: We reached out to the Pennsylvania Legislative Reference Bureau, and they sent us a law review document that asserts the common law precedence that a private person can arrest another only if they have either committed a felony or a misdemeanor breach of the peace.
Rhode Island (Official Source)
FELONY OR LARCENY REQUIRED South Carolina (Official Source, search for SECTION 17-13-10)
South Dakota (Official Source)
Tennessee (Official Source, search for S. 40-7-109)
Texas (Official Source, search for Art. 14.01)
Vermont (Official Source Unavailable)*
*We could not find the official citizen's arrest statute in Vermont. 13-59-4954 lays out the grounds for a citizens arrest on someone charged with a crime in another state, who would need to be extradited, but we cannot find any statutes related to citizens warrantless arrest of individuals outside that category.
Washington (Official Source Unavailable)*
*We could not find an official Washington citizen's arrest statute. We called their legislative information center, and their law library, and both informed us that the statute does not exist. A 2005 report from the Department of Licensing confirms this. However, the law librarian and the report note that case law protects citizens arrests in the state. In State v. Gonzales and Guijosa v. Walmart Stores the Washington Court of Appeals opined that a person could arrest another person within the state for a misdemeanor that equaled a breach of the peace and was committed in the citizen's presence. A person can also arrest for felonies, according to State v. Malone, State v. Miller, and State v. Gonzales. In addition, there is a WA Attorney General's 1957 opinion on citizen's arrest here.
West Virginia (Official Source Unavailable)
*We could not find any official citizens arrest statute in West Virginia.
*We could not find any citizens arrest statute in Wisconsin. A Wisconsin Attorney General's report from 2008 states, firstly, that citizen's arrests in Wisconsin are governed by common law, and secondly, that "a citizen can make a felony arrest without a warrant based on probable cause but can make a warrantless arrest for a misdemeanor only if the misdemeanor is committed in the citizen's presence and constitutes a breach of the peace."

This petition was submitted during the 2010–2015 Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition government
Petition No to minimum alcohol pricing
More details
We, the undersigned, oppose minimum alcohol pricing on the basis that it a) does not prevent or "fix" addiction or anti-social behaviour, b) penalises moderate drinkers, c) will have the largest financial impact on those who are not so well off. We demand that the government scrap any proposal to introduce minimum pricing.

Aren't they beautiful? Of course the historic architecture of these homes makes them even more appealing. The wrought iron fence above is another element I love about this home.
You can tell the owners are most definitely house proud, adding bits of 4th of July finery here and there...
to bring your eye to the prettiest parts of the home, or to show off it's simplicity. This was just a sampling of the beautiful homes I saw on a morning walk this weekend in Iowa City, Iowa.
Hope your 4th was fabulous! How do you dress your home for the patriotic holidays?

Assisted dying is such a controversial topic.
Legally, a person who is compos mentis and properly advised, can refuse treatment or insist on not being resuscitated if that is what stands between them and death.
However, it is not lawful to attempt to end your own life or for a person to assist a person to end their life, no matter the seriousness of their condition, the pain they are suffering or the imminence of their death.
Assistance might be providing the means to a lethal injection, providing a tablet or terminating life support already agreed.
If a person is terminally ill and in pain is it not humane to allow self determination in sustaining or ending life?
Governments need to rethink outdated Christian tenets of morality.

text: Gil and I both ran this event recently, it was actually my first official track Marathon. Obviously having run Barry 40 three times and fourteen 24 hour track races I am used to going around in circles but it has been a while since my last track race so I really enjoyed it. The weather was perfect and I was pleased with my 5-40-54 finishing time. Legs were fine the next day so I am really looking forward now to the No Finish Line 8 day race in Monaco starting on the 20th of November. My target is 250 miles so that's just over 50km a day. Managed it for 6 days last year so I hope the extra 2 days won't be a problem.

Hello blogging friends. I thought I would get a jump on my Father's Day cards when I saw that Cheery Lynn was having a Make It Manly challenge. Most of my Cheery Lynn dies are flowers and doilies, but I did think these leaves would work and I did use a doily die to create my sun :) Here is what I came up with for my hubby, who loves to fish.
I love how realistic looking these leaves are when you add a little ink and curl up the tips. This card was made completely with some older Imaginisce papers and some cardstock scraps. I love it when I can use up some scraps.
Now I am going to spend the day planting my garden. Can't believe how late I am getting it in this year. Way too cold and rainy here. Have a great weekend.
