Webinar from June 11, 2010 will explore the nuances of creating and sustaining mission partnerships with shared responsibilities.

Web navigation, and indeed text input in general, is helped by the latest HTC virtual Qwerty keyboard. The basic Windows keyboard is unusable with a finger, but HTC has managed to squeeze a fully fingerable Qwerty layout onto the Diamond's screen that works well even in portrait mode. The only slight hitch is that sometimes the keyboard springs up and covers the text box you're typing into. Whoops.
The Diamond's screen is fitted with an accelerometer, so flipping between portrait and landscape for video, photos and web browsing is simply a case of tipping the phone over a la iPhone.
The only limitation of the UI is the lack of user personalisation
The 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera won't be winning any awards, but is a massive leap forward over HTC's usual photographic offerings, and compared to the iPhone's snapper is as Lewis Hamilton's McLaren to Jenson Button's Honda.
Out of the box, the Diamond will only support the usual suspect formats: MP3, WMA, AAC/AAC+, WAV, WMV and MPEG 4. But fork out $25 for Corecodec's Core Player Mobile – which plays pretty much anything under the sun - and you have a more than decent little PMP on your hands. In fact the Diamond's screen makes a top notch video player.
We copied across a 640 x 360, AVI rip of The Big Lebowski from the office Cowon A3 and were thoroughly impressed by the quality of playback. The video played smoothly, and looked bright and clear. The Diamond's music player also has a decent little graphic equaliser function. Of course, with only 4GB on board you'll be rather restricted in the amount of media you can store. This is where being able to stuff an 8GB memory card up the Diamond's backside would have made all the difference, but of course it lacks such a slot.
Being an HTC handset, you don't get a 3.5mm 'phones socket either. Apparently, O2 customers will get a bundled mini-USB 3.5mm adaptor so they can use any earphones they want and still retain hands-free operation. HTC should just bundle the adaptor at source and have done. For a couple of quid, they would be changing a major negative into a positive.
Who wants to know why Win Mobile = FAIL???
When the original HTC Touch was introed about a year ago, I bought one of the first 100 in the UK, no contract, and WINced at how much I paid. But the small size of it, and the apparent coolness factor, were enough for me to get over it.
Now I've had it for a year, and tomorrow night I am sitting in a camp chair in a queue for a new iPhone. I have HAD it with Windows Mobile - absolutely HAD it. Too many small fiddly menu choices that are IMPOSSIBLE to navigate with a finger tip, and many of them cascading! They put cascading menus on a MOBILE device with a finger touch screen?!?!? And that f£"$ing touch keyboard - I have small fingers, and loads of patience, but frankly I have to reach for the stylus for anything longer than one or two sentances, and even that is painful. And the number of times I have tried to punctuate a sentence and ended up bringing up the freakin' MENU instead I have lost count of!!!
I tried a 3G iPhone the other day, and was AMAZED at how much easier it was to use, type on, and navigate. The larger screen makes all of the screen functions MUCH easier to use - the menus are more logical and less fiddly, and the screen itself is just beautiful. I have a couple of Windows Mobile applications that I will miss (especially my Chess tutorial program), and the lack of stereo Bluetooth is criminal, but overall I think I can live without them just to get a phone that works. Now I just have to plan how to spent 12 hours in line tomorrow night...
And no, I've never owned an Apple product in my life, hardly a fanboi, but I have to hand it to Jobs on this one...
@Maryland, SCREEN SIZE FFS
The Diamond has a VGA 480x640 screen, and so it packs in twice as many pixels as the iPhone. That works out to an impressive 280dpi, and it looks fantastic.
Shame about the battery life, though.
got one - 7/10
I recently got given one for work and my personal phone is an iphone, so comparison is fair.
Funnily enough this seems the right combination. From an interface point of view I prefer the i-phone and the touch screen is far less fiddly than that of the Diamond, BUT....
What I want from a work phone is
1. Portability - diamond takes much much less pocket space
2. Functionality - Able to read and work on Microsoft docments a real plus without non-prop add ons. Also I do a lot of walking around strange towns (work related - please don't ask), so having GPS on board knocks my current 1.0 i-phone into a cocked hat
Personal opinion is they could have improved the touch screen interface, but otherwise a great little work phone. For a personal phone I would still go with the iphone though!
PS Biggest downside (which is not the phones fault) is the Norwegian OS I am stuck with - thanks procurement for that little gem.
Is the resolution really "480 x 620"?
If so, that would be 4X the normal QVGA offering (320 x 240) and probably more than anyone could use in a 2.8-inch display. If this is s typo, what's the true resolution?
@Neil Greatorex, others
Seriously, what's wrong with Windows Mobile? Apart from it being MS Software so "IT SUXXX COS BIL GATEZ WROTE IT LOLZ"? I bet it'd be a ninth wonder of the world (after Linus Torvalds and his mighty finnish brain) if it was "Linux Mobile".
It's not particularly hard to use- easier than other phones I've had, it has a massive amount of software available for it (and it's quick + easy to write new stuff for it w/ visual studio if there's something you need), and resetting once a week is hardly a hardship if you just do it at night- hit reset, stick on charger, fall asleep.
I follow this routine, and I've been using WM2003/WM5/WM6 for about 3 years on a few different handsets and apart from the occasionally badly cooked alpha-stage custom ROM I've randomly downloaded from the 'net, I've had no major software screw ups. The phone's only run out of battery power on me once and that was due to me losing it for a week with WiFi/BT/3G all turned on.
As far as slooooow OSs go, it's not slow for me. Maybe your network's bundled trillions useless, memory-eating apps with your version? IMHO, it's these that break and these that slow WM down to the horrible thing some people see.
WM6 rocks. Even on my newly-upgraded-to-WM6 2 or 3 year old XDA2s it rocks. Network added apps don't.
@"HTC FOR THE FAIL"AC, it's called a Crackberry as everyone who has one- especially those who use it as a verb (as in "Blackberry me")- are arses.

Key policy issues
Operational research facilitates the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of different aspects of drug policy. It is an essential tool in assessing the impact of the drug policy on national health service systems and delivery; studying the economics of drug supply; identifying problems related to prescribing and dispensing; and understanding the socio-cultural aspects of drug use. Key policy issues are:
• the need for operational research in drug access, quality and rational use;• the need and potential for involvement in clinical drug research and development.

- The Craving Cheat Sheet
What Do Your Shelves Say About You?
The food in your fridge can paint a pretty vivid picture of what your diet looks like. And if that picture is full of processed foods and sweets instead of whole-grain options and fruits and vegetables, then it goes without saying that there is room for improvement on your refrigerator report card.
"You can have slender shelves or siren shelves," says Carole Carson, fitness expert and author of From Fat to Fit. "To make better choices, be conscious what you put at eye-level when you open your refrigerator. These should be things like fruits, vegetables, and snacking options like cottage cheese and yogurt."
On top of homing in on which shelves to display your superfoods, Carson also says it's important to fill your fridge with actual ingredients, not pre-packaged foods. "It's easier than you think to cook from scratch, not to mention much cheaper! You'll only use three to four ingredients, and the end result is much healthier than something that is frozen or processed."

Cup of Joe - Paterno was flawed, but facts remain somewhat lacking in damnation
Over the weekend it became more clear that the powers that be within Penn State's administration had collaborated in a futile attempt to coverup grotesque actions by former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. CNN revealed a portion of emails between Graham Spanier, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz that confirmed the ugly reality that many had suspected to be the case since as far back as last November.
Photo: John P. Wise |
Of course, the revelations that have become so popular through Friday night's report is not just that the president and athletic director of a big name school decided to not contact authorities about suspected sexual abuse of a minor. Instead the national response focused on the alleged actions influenced by former head coach Joe Paterno. Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports says it is now "perfectly reasonable to postulate that Joe Paterno protected Jerry Sandusky." CBSSports.com columnist Gregg Doyel says the Paterno legacy should face reckoning.
Did Paterno make the call to not contact authorities? What exactly was Paterno's reaction when approached about Curley's plan to handle Sandusky? While many will be quick to assume that Paterno was in fact a major player in the Penn State cover-up, it would be more responsible to await the details of the Freeh investigation, which should confirm whether or not Paterno's role in all of this was as delusional as others.
I have said it before and I will say it again right here. Given the information we have seen reported and revealed, there is no concrete evidence suggesting Paterno inspired a cover up for Sandusky. While the CNN email report does shed a negative light, there is no information confirming Paterno's vile role in all of this. Until there is, it would be irresponsible to bury a man who is already buried.
Having said that, in the event the Freeh investigation reveals that Paterno did in fact act within a plan to cover-up the Sandusky mess, then I will be one of the first to grab a pitch fork and pronounce the man rot in Hell.
If you are comfortable with piling on Paterno based off of "..." and "..." as well as the crumbling testimony of a man seemingly caught in his own web of lies, so be it. While Paterno may have been a flawed man (as David Jones suggested Sunday), I am not prepared to tear down his statue and remove his name from the library.
Not yet, at least.

Home | 1.80 | 1 |
Find more betting data on bettingexpert clash: Sporting Cristal vs. Jose Galvez |
Final result: 4 - 0Profit: 1.80 - 1 = 0.8
Sporting Cristal currently in 3rd position in his national league with 6 game won and 5 draw out of 14.
Playing home they havent lost any game and have scored 16 goals and received only 6 (in 7 games).
Wining his lasts game in a dominant way 4-0, 3-1, 3-0.
Also they are the team with more goals scored in the season with 28 and received 13.
They has the best offensive but dont defend that good so they make goals but also received them.
On the other hand Jose Galvez is a weak team that playing away as visit has only achieved 2 points in 6 games losing 4 of them.
So i see an easy match for Sporting Cristal, probably securing the match in the first 45 minutes as they have done in their lasts matchs.
Also another interesting value bet is Sporting Cristal winning for 2 goals of difference or more and it pays 2.17

"I've followed the tide all week," said Carpenter. "I had a pretty good pattern I would follow, putting on close to 60 miles a day. I would follow the tide in and hit a bunch of spots, and then follow it back out and hit some more spots. Then I go flipping in the afternoon. It's worked out solid for me, and I'm able to hit over 30 different spots a day doing it.
"The cold, rainy weather really had an effect on the fishing today, though," Carpenter added. "I caught at least 25 fish the first two days, but I only caught 15 today. The wind was blowing around 25 miles per hour, and it was brutal. I couldn't get to some of my spots today."
Other East County natives who finished in the top 10:

In terms of one's place on the social status spectrum, being a sportswriter is a pretty demoralizing experience. Fans always think you're trying to screw their favorite team and resent you for getting to go to games for free. The teams you cover would rather you and your industry just go away already. The players you write about think your job is vaguely pathetic and spend most of their time nodding their way through your annoying questions while trying to get dressed. (Or sometimes, in the purest distillation of where they think you stand on this planet, they fart in your face.) The only real perk is rewards points at hotel chains. It's not the most glamorous job in the world.
Unless you're a superstar. Superstar sportswriters, to paraphrase Fitzgerald, are not like you or me. They have long since done away with the endless road trips and the editorial pressures from up high and the khakis covered in mustard stains and black ink. They are at the Top Of Their Field, standing above it all, having ascended to the highest level the profession can attain: Nationally Recognizable On Television. There aren't many of these guys: The first might have been Frank Deford -- who was famous enough to do Miller Lite ads -- or, in the TV sports age, Rick Reilly, who was also famous enough to do Miller Lite ads. But I'm not sure he's there anymore; same goes with Mitch Albom, who's only ostensibly a sportswriter anymore, choosing instead to peddle New Age claptrap. I'd think the list now is probably: Tony Kornheiser. Jay Glazer. Bill Simmons. Peter King. And, perhaps the most pertinent to this discussion: Michael Wilbon.
Last week, Wilbon got in an online tussle with Washington Post blogger/columnist/all-around gadfly Dan Steinberg. The details of it, the substance of the argument, are mostly boring, a, "You hate Washington, D.C.! No I don't! Yes you do!" sort of thing. What I took away from the incident was something I'd suspected about Wilbon for a while: He's not really a sportswriter at all anymore. He's now on the side of people sportswriters write about. He has crossed over.
If you didn't know this already, the culmination of the "feud" -- an angry Facebook screed by Wilbon directed at Steinberg -- confirmed it. In the post, Wilbon does the two things that the subjects of sportswriters always do to denigrate media: He talks about how popular he is, and how unpopular Steinberg is. The two money quotes:
"I've seen increasingly how impressed Dan Steinberg is with himself and his non-column." (I was a real columnist at the paper. Not you.)
"Anytime, anyplace you want to post and compare résumés or career highlights I'm more than happy to engage."
That last one is the big one: It's basically the equivalent of yelling "Scoreboard!" This is like when anyone in any field uses how much money they make as a signifier of their self-worth. It is not for nothing that when Rick Reilly signed with ESPN a few years ago, he said he was making "ballplayer money;" that resentment, that vast gulf between writer and subject, changed sportswriting forever, and most of the old-timers (who dream of the days when they'd just go have beers with players and coaches) still fuels a lot of guys.
Wilbon, thanks to "Pardon the Interruption" -- a show that felt revolutionary when it began, back before we realized it would essentially ruin sports television -- and his work on ESPN's NBA shows, is now superfamous in a way that no sportswriter could ever be. Because of that, he's now talking like a celebrity. He boasts of fancy parties he goes to, dismisses his critics as haters who just aren't smart enough to become as successful as he has and, most noteworthy, strikes up lasting, close friendships with the people he ostensibly is supposed to be covering because, now that you're famous, you think you are one of them. The most obvious example is Wilbon's closeness with Magic Johnson, his ESPN cohort, but this has been an issue for a while, from Tiger Woods to Michael Jordan to Charles Barkley. Now, Wilbon has a right to be friends with whomever he wants; for crying out loud, those three guys are a lot more respectable than any of my friends. But when you are exclusively in that circle, you can start losing touch with why you went into this. It starts to look like this fame is all you ever wanted all along.
This is hardly something specific to sports. It's perhaps most pervasive in politics, where eventually people just start crossing over from their newspapers to working for the candidates they cover. (Jay Carney, the former Time reporter who's now President Obama's press secretary, is the most obvious example.) Television has warped the profession just as much there, though if you don't watch "Morning Joe," you might not know it. (I say that as a big fan of "Morning Joe" and a colleague of New York's John Heilemann, whom I believe to not have this problem.) And at least in politics, those journalists still actually write columns; I'm not sure Wilbon has seen a Microsoft Word document in years. Why would he have to? He's on TV now!
I mean this not to be specifically critical of Wilbon as a professional or as a person -- I have only met Wilbon once and was frankly taken aback by how warm, friendly and welcoming he was -- but instead to point out the phenomenon. What was noteworthy about Wilbon's rant was not that he was so angry with Steinberg; what was noteworthy was that he spoke it from the mountaintop, going after Steinberg the way a celebrity would go after the paparazzi. Wilbon seemed to see it simply as this nobody nipping at the heels of his greatness.
I generally enjoy Wilbon on television and will take him over some former athlete with nothing interesting to say and few camera skills any day. (Like, say, some of the other people on the NBA on ESPN panel with him.) I have no resentment of his success; I'm honestly happy for him. And good lord, I wouldn't want his level of fame anyway; thank heavens I'm so bad on television I won't have to worry about it. But there's still something sad about seeing Wilbon like this, like this aloof ultracelebrity tossing down thunderbolts at the plebeians down below. I find it sad not because of Wilbon specifically. The fear is that this is a universal condition: When you become that famous, you grow to believe that you are different, that the decisions you made are now justified, that you are indeed special. And you forget who you once were, and those who were there with you. I think I find it sad because, deep down, I fear he might be right: Most sportswriters might indeed envy him and, if they were in his position, would turn the exact same way. I hope not. But I have my doubts.
* * *
You think this is bad: Wait until ESPN finally DOES give Bill Simmons ESPN8. Thoughts, concerns, grousing, future column ideas? Remember, this column is meant as a valve, a release, for when you're yelling at your television during games, or, after reading a particular column, you're pounding your fists into your computer. Obviously, I'll need your help to do that. Anything you want me to write about, let me know, through email or Twitter. I am at your beck and call.

A Welsh woman is accused of lying to authorities regarding a homicide investigation, state police said Friday.
Patrina Lyons, 30, was arrested Thursday and charged with false swearing for the purpose of violating public health and safety, according to Sgt. James Anderson.
Lyons was driving a vehicle in which her passenger, Denzell Lamar Lampkin, 20, of Welsh was fatally shot in late January.
Lampkin was reportedly shot in the left side of his upper torso while inside the vehicle on North Street, according to Police Chief Tommy Chaisson.
Deputies reportedly found Lampkin inside the vehicle, which they stopped after they heard gunshots. He died later from the injuries in an area hospital.
Lyons was not injured.
"Lyons implicated a suspect in the shooting," Anderson said in a news release Friday. "Further investigation revealed the implicated person could not have been the shooter because the person was in another city at the time of the shooting."
Lyons was booked into the Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center on a $200,000 bond.
If convicted, she faces up to five years in prison and a $1,000 fine.
Detectives assigned to the State Police Bureau of Investigations were asked to assist Welsh police in the homicide investigation, Anderson said.
The shooting was one of two in Welsh that night.
Termain Wilridge was shot in the foot in an earlier incident, authorities said. He was with a group of men walking on Kennedy Street at the time.
A residence where Wilridge reportedly sought help after the shooting was destroyed by a suspicious fire the same night. Authorities later ruled the fire as arson. No arrest has been made in connection with the shooting or the fire.
Welsh police are investigating three unsolved homicides and numerous gun-related crimes in the town since 2011.

Title: angry
Are only negative comments allowed? Because that is all your posting. This doesn't have anything to do with the streets. That was stupid, and what is even more stupid is to comment that its about time that someone is held responsible. How about holding the right person responsible!! Someone innocent was hurt and that is Patrina. The person implicated was in Welsh that night. Witness saw him at his mother's house. But police don't want public to know that.
Posted By: concerned citizen On: 6/27/2012
Title: innocent victims
The officers need to hold the right people accountable not innocent victims. We asked for help not to arrest innocent people. A lot of people know things and are afraid to talk to wpd and detectives just because of things like this. Rushing into an arrest because they look bad. To many people saw " the implicated" person that night for him to be out of town. It's just sad. It's funny how one family have ties to two of those murders. Just saying.
Posted By: Concerned Citizen On: 6/23/2012
Title: Its about time
Really "dnt talk the streets" ?? You live in Welsh, Louisiana... and it is about time that SOMEONE is held responsible for these horrible crimes. I want the time back that I could let my children play outside without worring that some jerk with a gun could be shooting some other jerk and miss. It is sad, but until some innocent person or child is hurt- I don't see this ending. It is time that Welsh citizens hold people responsible. It is time we take our town back from these ignorant people who have nothing better to do than shoot each other. I hope that this is the first of many arrest.

"I had to do what I had to do," Kendra St. Clair said Friday. "I was scared out of my mind."
Kendra used her mother's handgun to shoot the intruder Wednesday while she was home on fall break. Her mother had shown her how to shoot it, she said.
"Normally I do not leave my kids at home alone," Debra St. Clair said. "But being a single mother of two with a full-time job, I had to that day."
Her son attends a different school, which was not on fall break.
St. Clair said they are all still in shock, but commended her daughter's strength.
"She's a trooper," she said. "She's staying strong and confident. She's handling this much better than I would have."
Kendra said even though she was terrified, "I kept my head on straight."
Stacey Adam Jones, 32, was booked into the Bryan County jail Thursday. Bail was set at $250,000 at Jones' arraignment hearing Friday afternoon, assistant Bryan County District Attorney Tim Webster said. His next court appearance will be a preliminary hearing conference in December.
Kendra, a sixth-grader at Calera Elementary, called her mother about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday to say a man was ringing the doorbell and banging on the door, St. Clair said.
"She said he was continuously ringing the doorbell and when no one answered he opened the screen door and started banging on the door," St. Clair said. "She told me she didn't know where he had gone after that."
St. Clair told her daughter to get her .40-caliber Glock pistol and go into the bathroom closet, which has reinforced locks on the door.

An "enum" for Python 3
An unexpected perf feature
LWN.net Weekly Edition for May 16, 2013
A look at the PyPy 2.0 release
The old process, in use since the 1.0 kernel release, worked with two major forks. The even-numbered fork was the "stable" series, managed in a way which (most of the time) attempted to keep the number of changes to a minimum. The odd-numbered fork, instead, was the development series, where anything goes. The idea was that most users would use the stable kernels, and that those kernels could be expected to be as bug-free as possible.
This mechanism has been made to work, but it has a number of problems which have been noticed over the years. These include:
The focus on keeping changes out of the stable kernel tree is now seen as being a bit misdirected. Well-tested patches can be safely merged, most of the time. Blocking patches, instead, creates an immense "patch pressure" which leads to divergent kernels and a major destabilizing flood whenever the door is opened a little.
So how have things changed? The "new" process is really just an acknowledgment of how things have been done since the 2.6.0 release - or, perhaps, a little before. It looks like this:
The -mm tree has proved to be a truly novel addition to the development process. Each patch in this tree continues to be tracked as an independent contribution; it can be changed or removed at any time. The ability to drop patches is the real change; patches merged into the mainline lose their identity and become difficult to revert. The -mm tree provides a sort of proving ground which the kernel process has never quite had before. Alan Cox's -ac trees were similar, but they (1) were less experimental than -mm (distributors often merged -ac almost directly into their stock kernels), and (2) -mm does a much better job of tracking each patch independently.
In essence, -mm has become the new kernel development tree. The old process created a hard fork and was not designed to merge changes back into the "old" stable tree. -mm is much more dynamic; it exists as a set of patches to the mainline, and any individual patch can move over to the mainline at any time. New features get the testing they need, then graduate to the mainline when they are ready. New developments move into the stable kernel quickly, the development kernel benefits from all fixes made to the stable branch, and the whole process moves in a much faster and smoother way.
More than one observer in Ottawa made this ironic observation: it would appear that Andrew Morton is now in charge of the development kernel, while Linus manages the stable kernel. That is not quite how things were expected to turn out, but it seems to be working. Consider some of the changes which have been merged since 2.6.0:
Some of these changes are truly significant, and things have not stopped there: new patches are going into the kernel at a rate of about 10MB/month. Yet 2.6.7 was, arguably, the most stable 2.6 kernel yet. It contains many of the latest features, has few performance problems, and the number of bug reports has been quite small. The new process is yielding some good results.
Naturally, there are some issues to resolve. One of those is the deprecation of features, which used to be tied to the timing of the old process. The new plan, it seems, is to give users a one-year notice, including a printk() warning in the kernel. The first features to be removed by this path are likely to be devfs and cryptoloop. There is also the question of changes which are simply too disruptive to merge anytime soon. Page clustering, if it is merged, could be one of those. When such a feature comes along, we may yet see the creation of a 2.7 tree to host it. Even then, however, 2.7 will track 2.6 as closely as possible, and it may go away when the feature which drove its existence becomes ready to go into the mainline.
This change to the development process is significant. It is not particularly new, however. The actual change happened the better part of a year ago; it was simply hidden in plain sight. All that has really happened in Ottawa is that the developers have acknowledged that the process is working well. One can easily argue, in fact, that the kernel development process has never functioned better than it does now. So, rather than break such a successful model, the developers are going to let it run.
Cryptoloop does the hokey-cokey?

Pardon my ignorance, but why is cryptoloop, which appears to be a relatively new feature, being pulled already?
Posted Jul 29, 2004 7:30 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link]
Encrypted loopback devices (implemented by cryptoloop outside the device mapper) are very old: I remember them from the 2.0 days, and they may predate that.
One question: if cryptoloop is going away, what's replacing it? Is the CryptoAPI there for no reason, or is there some new magical way to encrypt filesystems that I've overlooked?
Posted Jul 29, 2004 9:37 UTC (Thu) by james (subscriber, #1325) [Link]
The old cryptoloop support is allegedly "buggy, unmaintained, and reportedly has mutliple [sic] security weaknesses," and the kernel crew feel that vulnerable encrypted filesystem support is worse than no support at all: at least if there's no support, people know their data is vulnerable...

Another look at the new development model
Posted Jul 30, 2004 1:16 UTC (Fri) by simon_kitching (guest, #4874) [Link]
I have seen comments from BSD developers which were very critical of the "periodic release" style development of Linux, and praising their own system (which I know very little about).
My problem with this
Posted Jul 30, 2004 6:52 UTC (Fri) by pm101 (guest, #3011) [Link]
I haven't had time to migrate to 2.6. I tried once. Too much time. Didn't have time to finish. I'll do it someday, but reconfiguring all the hardware and every subsystem is a royal pain.
What concerns me is the following:
I'm on deadline. A security hole is found in the kernel, so I must upgrade. Say I'm running 2.6.12 at the time, since keeping up with 2.6 is too much work, and the current kernel is 2.6.41. With this model, upgrading is really untenable. I won't have time to reconfigure everything, figure out ALSA was removed in favor of some new sound system, iptables works differently, so my firewall breaks, and either way, I have 100 new/changed options in make menuconfig to redo.
I don't/can't run stock distribution kernels, since I did configure up my system with a nice firewall, power management, support for esoteric hardware, etc. Some things in this (I don't recall what) weren't in the stock kernel.
I'm just an end-user, but the same applies to corporate installs that want a consistent system. To you, 2.4 may be obsolete, but to me, it's stable and fast/easy to manage. I don't want to be forced to upgrade my kernel to a significantly different one anytime a security hole is found, or even for new hardware (except in extreme examples; maybe for PCI->PCI/X or something). I also don't need features backported; the only thing I might need in the new kernel are the new device drivers.
I'd be much happier if some version of 2.6 was just marked as "stable," and had just drivers and security fixes backported to it. Otherwise, I'd continue the above development model with the mainstream kernel marked 2.7 "semistable," together with 2.7-mm/2.7-ac "unstable"?
As with Debian, most users would run kernel/testing, developers would run kernel/unstable, and technologically-backwards old farts like me would have a nice kernel/stable. Stable here wouldn't just mean "won't crash," but the more traditional definition of "won't change much."
Posted Jul 30, 2004 9:02 UTC (Fri) by NAR (subscriber, #1313) [Link]
If you're up-to-date with the 2.4.x kernel, I see no reason why you wouldn't be up-to-date with the 2.6.x kernel too so this later scenario wouldn't happen to you.
Stable branch still needed
Posted Jul 30, 2004 22:02 UTC (Fri) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link]
There is still a huge need for a stable/stabilizing branch of the Linux kernel, which is not provided in this system. If Linus doesn't want to provide or endorse one, I expect someone else will. Probably major distributions.
I'm talking about a branch for people who are using a computer to do a certain thing and as long as that thing doesn't change, they don't need new features. They do, however, need bug fixes and other minor adjustments. For these people, no matter how much a certain piece of code has stabilized in mm, it is too big a risk to add it to their system when they aren't even going to use it.
Also, removing features can only hurt these people.
I envision an expanded form of subtrees (which already exist to a small degree), wherein someone distributes 18.104.22.168, 220.127.116.11, etc. Assuming such a distributor starts up the next stabilizing series before 2.6.7 is two years old, we will avoid the pressure to make destabilizing changes to the stable series, that killed the even/odd system we had going.

The only problem left...

Oh, and it will certainly offer some challenge to our beloved editor, as to when he is supposed to send the next edition of Linux Device Drivers to the press. ;-)
Similar problem to Debian, and a similar solution
Posted Jul 31, 2004 21:08 UTC (Sat) by walles (guest, #954) [Link]
* The stable and development trees diverge from each other quickly
* The stable tree, after a short while, lacks fixes, features, and improvements which have been added to the development tree
* The stable distribution is often very heavily patched by re-distributors (Knoppix, Libranet, Lindows, ...).
The solution adopted by Debian was similar, but not the same; it was because of the above reasons that Debian Testing (http://www.debian.org/devel/testing) was invented, as a sibling to Stable and Unstable.
Just like Testing made Debian a lot more accessible to people who found Unstable to be too scary and Stable to be too far behind, here's to hoping that the -mm tree will do the same for the kernel.
In a few words

I cannot find better explanation to this happening.

#'s continue to rise in "pass happy" league ~ ~ ~
It is no surprise to see elite NFL quarterbacks such as Tom Brady and Drew Brees racking up big numbers in yardage this season but what is increasingly noticeable is the number of less accomplished quarterbacks joining them.
Three quarterbacks have already passed the 3,000 yard mark this season, Brees, Atlanta's Matt Ryan and Oakland's Carson Palmer, and plenty more are poised to join them.More significantly, eight quarterbacks are averaging over 290 yards per game, including Indianapolis Colts rookie Andrew Luck (296.5), Detroit's Matthew Stafford (298.8) and the oft-criticized Dallas Cowboys signal caller Tony Romo, who has passed for 2,916 yards from 10 games.Three years ago only two quarterbacks, Brees and Houston's Matt Schaub, averaged more than 290 per game, and five seasons back, only New England's Brady managed it.Admittedly, the bad weather winter games have yet to come and they can push down averages but there are plenty of other signs that quarterbacks are gaining more and more yards in the modern NFL. Breaking 500 yards in a single game used to be one of the rarest of achievements. Only two players managed it in the entire 1990s, yet two players have done it already this season.Schaub, not even ranked in the top ten quarterbacks in the league, did it with 527 yards against Jacksonville on Sunday while Eli Manning threw 510 for the New York Giants in September.Last season, Brady and Stafford both threw over 500 in a single game.One of the longest standing records in the league, Johnny Unitas' record of scoring a touchdown in 47 consecutive NFL games, had stood for 52 years but Brees broke it this season and has taken it to 53 games so far. Brady is also closing in on the old record, throwing touchdown passes in each of his last 42 games. So, why are quarterbacks producing significantly better performances, in numerical terms at least, than five, ten or 20 years ago ? Former Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann, a Super Bowl winner in 1982, believes it is a combination of factors.He said there was a great new generation, increased protection given to quarterbacks and the evolution of game plans away from the running game and towards heavily pass-centered strategies with offenses that spread the field."I think it started in the late 1990's, certainly when Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Drew Brees came into the league but it has exploded even more in the last three years," he told Reuters.The shotgun formation, with the quarterback stood around five yards back from the line of scrimmage and spread formations with receivers spread widely, has helped lead the dominance of the pass."You are very limited in the runs you can run from there and so you basically end up throwing the football all over the park. Let me put it this way, I'm envious," he said. "It's much easier to throw the ball than it was five years ago. You spread a defense out and figure out where people are, where they are coming from, who to block, if you put four receivers across the field."You can tell what they want to do. Do they want to go man-to-man or zone? You get a much quicker read of what the defense is trying to do to you.Theismann also noted teams no longer tried to protect their lead by running the ball, instead racking up the passing yardage."It used to be that 'you throw the football to get a lead and run the football to protect it'," he said."That was an accepted theory. Now you throw the ball to get the lead and keep throwing to increase it."Theismann said the new generation of quarterbacks could be even better than the game's current standard-bearers because of their versatility."With guys like Cam Newton, Josh Freeman, Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck, those four guys if you are able to play-action with their ability to run the football what does a defense do?," said Theismann. "Do you protect against the run? Do you protect against the running quarterback and commit your linebackers? And if you do you have got receivers running wide-open. Being a defensive coordinator today will get you bald or gray hair in a hurry". > http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/...m_content=ESPN |

All rules and all ref calls and most college development goes towards the passing game. Thus the Jets go ground and pound. Just by being a passing team you are almost guaranteed to get an extra three 1st downs, if not big plays a game via penalty if not more.

Not having the QB being the engine of your offense and not having a QB who can pass like that is the kiss of death.

I think a lot more offensive holding is allowed too. Goodells mandate is to keep QBs healthy.
Especially the big names. That's why you could have Sanchez pummeled last year with guys being fined heftily the next day, though there was no call during the hit, while Brady, Rogers, Manning, Brees, you breath on them & the flag comes out. The defenseless receiver rule is gonna ruin this effing game! I saw 4/5 great shoulder hits, no helmet contact that drew 15 yard personal fouls. Now it's become if the receiver is SMALL & gets POUNDED the flag gets thrown. I see bigger receivers taking the same hits & no call. But some little guy gets laid out on a great timed hit, no helmet & just because he got hurt the flag comes out? Goodell is ruining the sport I love. |

Field Recording
Listen 003: Swans, Ducks, Gulls, Humans
On 21, Dec 2011 | No Comments | In Field Recording | By Varun Nair
Hollyrood Park is one of my favourite spots to spend time either walking or recording. It not only sounds very different on different days but is made up of a variety of sounds: wind, distant traffic (and sirens), birds, people jogging/walking with their dogs and swans, ducks, sea gulls and other birds.
This first one was at Dunsapie Loch, right behind Arthur's Seat. It is an excerpt from a 20 minute recording featuring a good blend of mute swans, greylag geese, gulls, city noise and people. I sat at the edge of the pond with gulls flying above and around me and people jogging behind me. At 1:25 a swan gets out of the water and at 1:50 a dog goes after the ducks.
Recorded with a Neumann KM184 pair (ORTF) and Sound Devices 702.
This second one was right below Salisbury Crags at about 9am on a Sunday – birds, little traffic, distant bagpipes (Scotland!) and people walking around the park.

Sports Authority Field's turf trembles beneath the stampeding cleats of the teams in the Mile High Classic, which will showcase some of the country's best collegiate lacrosse in a precursor to May's NCAA Tournament. As reigning national champions, the top-ranked Virginia Cavaliers sprint into the event with last season's national and ACC Player of the Year, Steele Stanwick, whose average of nearly five points per game is among the nation's elite in 2012. The Penn Quakers, meanwhile, roll into the Centennial State with a chance to boost their national ranking by ousting the Cavaliers or carving "Quakers #1" into nearby mountainsides.
Eastpoint 10 Cinemas showcases the latest Hollywood blockbusters on screens that face sloped or stadium-style seating. Digital and 3-D projectors entertain audiences with high-resolution images that virtually pop out of the screen, making viewers feel like a part of the film without having to actually fight off bloodthirsty aliens, wicked witches, or Gerard Depardieu. The theater occasionally pairs screenings with special tie-in events, such as karate demonstrations to go along with martial-arts flicks.
Pasadena Golf Center lets visitors create the satisfying thwack of a club hitting a golf ball in one of two locations. They can make out the sound on the 18-hole mini-golf course—where ears will also pick up the sound of trickling waterfalls and the gurgling of landscaped streams and ponds—or at the driving range. Golfers can manipulate a variety of clubs there since targets are set up at different lengths, and 20 of the range's 34 hitting stations are covered to provide shade during warm months and heat during cold ones. In addition, a full setup of lights let them swing away into the evening or when Apollo's chariot of fire is in the shop. To assist in swing mechanics and proper alignment, the center organizes lessons led by Golf Academy of America–certified instructor, Brett Francisco.
Pasadena Golf Center is also equipped with a nine-station batting cage that challenges visitors with baseball pitches of varying speeds as well as slow- and fast-pitch softball. A 1,600-square-foot patio nearby can facilitate birthday parties or other special events.
While waiting for a group of tour participants aboard his kayak on Cape Island Creek, Bob Lubberman made a new acquaintance when a 4-foot great blue heron landed on the nose of his boat. It's not an entirely new experience for the owner of Miss Chris Kayak Rentals and Tours, as opportunities to commune with nature came often as he crabbed and fished as a child from his grandmother's dock. Now he's able to connect visitors to this ecosystem as they independently paddle rented sit-on-top kayaks or as they participate in guided kayak or boat tours.
Paddlers on kayak tours often catch close-ups of ospreys, terns, and other birds, and see diamondback terrapin turtles sunning themselves on the shore or trying to hold their own ice-cream cones. Day and sunset tours let guests explore the wildlife-rich salt marshes, and night tours led during high tide let them paddle over grassy terrain to otherwise inaccessible areas. Guests explore similar territory on tours aboard the Osprey as they watch migrating shore birds or look out on the harbor's historic buildings. Kayak tour guides include an associate naturalist and a Cape May Bird Observatory field associate, and land-based staffers maintain a touch tank on the Miss Chris mooring dock, which they temporarily fill with conches, eels, and other sea life pulled up using open-sided conservation traps.

Every year on the first weekend of May, downtown Baltimore's streets bustle as tens of thousands of moviegoers visit local theaters to watch films shot, directed, and edited around the globe. The Maryland Film Festival, like a freakish hurdle sprinter, runs for four days and showcases about 50 feature films and 75 short pieces—ranging from documentaries to animations—many of which are presented by their respective filmmakers or celebrity guest hosts. Past hosts have included Ian MacKaye and Branford Marsalis, and legendary filmmaker John Waters regularly makes an appearance at the festival, hosting a feature film of his choice. Attendees may also stimulate and expand their sensory palates with international flicks, a three-dimensional movie, and a vintage silent film synced to live music.


text: It was enjoyable enough for me to go back the next day to hang out by myself. I decided to take my newly purchased Mac laptop to do some digital plein-air painting using Corel Painter 9. A couple of my friends at Pixar use a laptop while drawing on location, so why not give it a try? I wanted to challenge myself a bit more than usual, and I figured that if I were to use Painter that I would be forced to learn it, and make decisions. I have figured out a way to use my Jullian easel for my digital set-up, but I don't think I am going to give up my traditional paints and brushes all together. I just needed to push myself out of my comfort zone.

Birmingham joins 12-year Oakland County downtown initiative
Furthering the beautification of Oakland County's downtown areas, Birmingham has agreed to become a part of a 12-year county initiative.
Birmingham officials, along with county Executive L. Brooks Patterson will be inducting Birmingham into the Main Street Oakland County program on Tuesday, Jan. 22 as an associate member.
While it is already "sort of functioning" at the downtown level, the Birmingham Principal Shopping District is very much looking forward to its one-year contract with the program, said Executive Director John Heiney.
"We've watched the Main Street program closely since it began 12 years ago, and we think Birmingham could benefit from it," Heiney said.
The induction is set to be held at 10 a.m. in the third floor atrium of the Uptown Palladium 12.
Patterson, Birmingham Mayor George Dilgard and other dignitaries from the Principal Shopping District will be making remarks during the ceremony.
"We see a lot of opportunities for our downtown's small businesses, with the education and training the program offers," said Heiney on Wednesday.
The Birmingham Principal Shopping District — which serves as a downtown development authority — is eager to benchmark against other communities, as it is very similar to many areas that have signed up with the county, he added.
Main Street Oakland County is an economic development program with an emphasis on "sense of place," according to its website.
Twelve communities — not including Birmingham — are participants in the initiative. Continued...
The focus of the Main Street program, which many regions across the U.S. have adopted, is a four-point approach that centers in on organization, design, promotion and economic restructuring of the communities.
According to its own studies, the county has helped create 238 new jobs, 25 new businesses and 105 new housing units since the program's inception.

Newberry Rotary welcomed a couple of Mid-Carolina seniors to discuss their leadership experience from this past summer.
Cornelius Glasgow and Yarelie Mitchell attended Rotary Youth Leadership Academy in June where they learned leadership skills along with citizenship, personal growth and how to serve their communities.
Glasgow and Mitchell were chosen from a wide pool of applicants and this year only two were selected to attend as they are sponsored by the Rotary club.
The cost is a little over $300, according to Mid-Carolina High School Basketball Coach Emmanuel DeWalt who is an associate director for RYLA and students are only asked to pay a minimal amount which is normally around $50.
The leadership academy is a week long program and is held at Erskine College.
Rotarians Melvin Evans and Rita Yarbrough selected the RYLA students to attend this past year.
DeWalt has been involved with RYLA since 1997 when he was a delegate at the camp for Union High and has served as counselors and is now an associate director. He is now a coach and science teacher at Mid-Carolina High.
DeWalt says his introduction to RYLA is a lot like other students in that he didn't know much about it. He knew plenty about Palmetto Boys State and Girls State which often times is pushed ahead of RYLA.
He says that RYLA is all about being a servant and learning leadership skills.
"Every night (at RYLA), we honor students for dong nice things or going out of their way," says DeWalt, "We focus on relationships and leaders step up first."
DeWalt does say that over the past couple years, the RYLA participants have decreased. He remembers when there used to be about 90 students and lately it's been about 65.
RYLA really needs the support of Rotary, he says, adding that the organization hasn't really sent a lot.
Glasgow and Mitchell were thrilled that they were able to go.
Michell says that she had heard so much about Girls State and then heard about RYLA afterwards. She didn't think she would be selected because only a few are selected from the school district.
She said that she is really glad she went and wants Rotary to continue sponsoring this for other students.
Glasgow heard about RYLA from the guidance counselors and enjoyed hearing from the leaders about overcoming things in life.
Not only was it fun, but he gained a lot of learning, he says.
RYLA is actually for anyone between 14 and 30; however, typically, the age range is narrowed to high school students age.
The program aims to demonstrate Rotary's respect and concern for youth, provides training for youth and potential leaders, encourages leadership of youth by youth and recognizes young people for being committed to their community.
The students enjoyed meeting people from all over the state and are grateful for the opportunity.
They both strongly encouraged Rotarians to continue sponsoring students so that the students may have a once in a lifetime opportunity.

"Thank you, sir, for making Firefox!"
Last night at the In-n-Out Burger, a random dude saw my T-shirt and said "Thank you, sir, for making Firefox!". He said it in the kind of tone of voice you might use to thank, like, a firefighter or a policeman for putting their life on the line. (Geez, dude, I think browsers are important too, but not that important. Have some perspective.)
When I got done awkwardly spluttering over the shock at being called "sir", I finally blurted out "... you're welcome?". That was as far as the interaction went, because the guy started up a conversation with his friend before I could say anything else. He didn't want to start a conversation with me, it was just a drive-by thanking.
It was a weird interaction for several reasons. First, anybody could be wearing a shirt with a Firefox logo on it, so it's weird to jump to the conclusion that I work for Moz (even though it happens to be a correct jump in this case). Second, I work in Labs, so I barely touch Firefox per se; mostly I do weird experimental stuff. Third, I've only worked here for like a year and a half, so Firefox existed long before whatever small contributions I've made towards it. I feel weird getting credit for things that other people did.
I guess I also feel weird because this is the first time in my life I'm working for a company which is almost a household name (at least among tech-savvy people) and therefore people are applying their opinion of that company to me, without knowing anything else about me. It's mostly a positive opinion, so I guess I'm glad I don't work for, like, the IRS, but it still feels weird.
What should I say to people when this happens? "Don't thank me, thank our thousands of open-source contributors?" Or maybe I should turn it into an informal customer survey and be like "Thanks. What's the number one Firefox bug you want fixed / feature you want added?"

"Mammy when will all the water finish?" ( I was drying his hair after his bath )
"When will the days finish?"
"People are dying before us aren't they? If you and Daddy die before me who will come to this house to look after me?"

This guide will teach you how to make a pulsing slot light for the PS3 drive just like the Nintendo Wii has. It will also void your warranty, so use it at your own risk!
- Philips head screw driver
- Soldering iron /w solder
- SMD LED (your color choice)
- PIC 12f629 (big or small version, bigger is easier in this case)
- PIC programmer
- 470ohm resistor
- Wire (30 AWG Kynar wire recommended)
- Momentary push switch
- Proto Board (optional)
Download the Pulse Hex from HERE.
Now use ICProg (http://www.ic-prog.com/download.html) to program the PIC 12f629 with the Pulse HEX you just downloaded from above.
After programming the chip, solder up the chip as shown below. You want wires coming from Pin 1,2,5& 8 for these are the pins we will be using. At this point I decided to wire up the circuit to a proto board this is the schematic:
Note: I have used the smaller version IN/S, but it makes no difference.
Now wire as show in the schematic and you should have something like this:
I have a little plug where I can just unclip the LEDs when I need to remove the Drive. Once that is all wired up let's take apart the PS3 all you need to do is take its top off:
Now remove the BD drive there is a ribbon cable underneath it and a power cable at the side so just take not of them. That power cable at the side I just mentioned is where we will be getting out power from its 12Volts so that's why we need the 470ohm resistor. Here is what I am talking about:
Now lets focus on the BD drive at the front at the moment there should be some felt, peel this off and put it somewhere in case we need it again.
Looking at the front case there is a hole at the right and left of the DVD drive (I used this to run the wiring through it helps hold it in place). Now with that LED at that end i just put a little foam tape next to it to keep it in place and protection.
One completed and other not:
Note that the wiring can be hidden behind the front metal shielding if you opt to do this you will have to take apart the shielding from the BD drive a little bit.
Both done connected the circuit board:
Now this is probably a good time to plug back all the ribbon and power cables the BD drive and then plug the circuit board into its 12V power points. and turn the PS3 on. This is what you should get:
It should pulse at the fastest speed if this is your first time using it with that PIC, but just press the push button to activate a slower sequence keep pressing the button till your're happy with a speed.
Here is a picture of where the circuit board hides:
And a picture of it with the case back on:
I have used UV LEDs in this case and they are not very bright and photograph poorly for some reason. I was trying to go with the whole UV theme as that's the color of the blu-ray laser but it's just not as spectacular as I hoped for so I will probably be changing them to green SMDs which are more vibrant).

Rotating Algal Turf Contactor Simulator
The Rotating Algal Turf Contactor Simulator (RATC) was developed for Chicago Zoological Society (Brookfield Zoo). The software is intended to provide opportunities for students to learn about bio-remediation (using naturally occurring biological mechanisms) to maintain water quality. Students have an opportunity to apply their knowledge of water quality by designing and testing a RATC system to clean the water for a number of different exhibits at the zoo.
The software is packaged together with full curriculum materials and is available for teachers to use with their classrooms. In addition, the curriculum involves an on-site visit to the zoo.

With just two weekends before Christmas, ideas for pre-holiday ho-ho-ho action
Can't shake that holiday excitement? Finished with shopping but still need holiday-themed activities to keep your yuletide spirit flowing? You're in the right place: Here we present five events this weekend (and one scheduled for Tuesday) for hardcore holiday fans.
- Christmas-themed theater? You bet, and the United Methodist Church of Parsippany has it for you this weekend with its presentation of "Cul De Sac," an original holiday-themed play by its pastor, Jeff Edwards. The play is described as a comedy/drama that reminds us what the holiday season is all about. Performances run Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free. The UMC of Parsippany is at 903 S. Beverwyck Road. For more information, call 973-887-4657.
- If you're a friend of Parsippany Presbyterian Church, here is a great way to help the church while having Christmas fun. Of course, the occasion of Jesus' birth is a big deal for the PPC, so it wants its sanctuary to be as beautiful as possible. Hence Deck the Halls at Parsippany Presbyterian Church, an event in which members and friends of the church are invited to help decorate the building for its most holy day. The trimming starts at 9 a.m. Sunday at 1675 Route 46 East. For more information, call 973-334-7958.
- Prepare for a moving experience at St. Andrew Evangelical Lutheran Church. From 4:30-8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, the faith community presents its 22nd annual Live Nativity. The event includes a reading of the Nativity story framed within James Allen Francis' poem "One Solitary Life." Admission is free, refreshments will be served and the gift of an ornament will be given to each small group attending. You can give a gift as well: If able to do so, attendees are encouraged to bring a nonperishable food item to help the Parsippany Community Center's Emergency Food Pantry help the hungry. For details, call 973-887-6713.
- Parsippany's American Legion Post 249 has the holiday spirit. The post is collecting toys as part of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Annual "Toys for Tots" 2011 campaign. As a special celebration of the effort, on Sunday at 9 a.m., members of the ladies' auxiliary will serve breakfast made to order, free with the donation of a new unwrapped toy (please, no stuffed animals) or a $5 donation. The American Legion Post 249 is located at 91 N. Beverwyck Road in Lake Hiawatha. More info? Call 973-335-9266.
- This goes past the weekend, but we believe it's worth sharing the info here to ensure you don't miss it: The Friends of Lake Hiawatha Snowflake Festival, rained out earlier this week, has been rescheduled for Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at the gazebo at Hiawatha Park on North Beverwyck Street. It's a celebration of the holiday decorations throughout the town, which exist because of FLH and its efforts. The group held a number of fund-raisers this year to cover the costs of putting up seasonal adornments when the town's budget could not bear the expense. FLH also raised money to assist flood-affected families in lower Hiawatha. Tuesday's event will be all about neighbors coming together for the most wonderful time of the year.
