here too the question arises: what should the semantics of the 'mixing' of such subsystem printk tags with the classic priority tags be. I think in this particular case we dont want the KERN_APIC tag, as that would prevent this failure message to be printed by default. I.e. this line to make sure this warning always shows up in the logs. Agreed? Ingo --
with DEFINE_LOGLEVEL_SETUP_DEF(apic, KERN_APIC, "apic:", 6); the KERN_WARNING <5> will be showing up that warning, even without loglevl=apic:8 or change that to DEFINE_LOGLEVEL_SETUP_DEF(apic, KERN_APIC, "apic:", 7); ? YH --
ok, but if that printk will show up no matter what, why is there any need to add an extra tag? my main worry is the duplication of the tag. People have a hard enough time adding a _single_ printk tag - adding multiple ones is clearly too much. Ingo --
Are you suggesting that each subsystem define its own default log level? That sounds truly horrible. It would mean that when reading code or adding new messages you'd always have to check what the default loglevel is for a particular subsystem. I really like the idea of being able to easily increase the verbosity for a particular subsystem, but please make sure that by default all messages with the same level are treated the same, irrespective of which subsystem they belong to. So IMO printk(KERN_WARNING "APIC calibration not consistent " and printk(KERN_WARNING KERN_APIC "APIC calibration not consistent " should do exactly the same thing if no 'loglevel=apic:X' is used and that should be guaranteed for all subsystems. Cheers, FJP --
could be done. SPEW: 8 ???:9 current msg_loglevel is limted to one digital YH --
This all looks dreadfully similar to Jason Baron's "dynamic debug v2". Similar enough that we couldn't justify merging both. --
(Jason Cc:-ed) agreed. Here's the summary as i see it: Jason's "dynamic debug" mainly relies on automatically creating a section of tags associated with each pr_debug() callsite. The unit of filtering is the .c file - which lends itself well to things like individual drivers but is not quite good for more generic entities like full subsystems. I think a better model is what hpa suggested: add string tags at the call site and make it all a sub-case of printk, via ASCII space tags. OTOH, a pr_debug() variant could be offered that just inserts a __FILE__ tag into the output - this would enable most of the "dynamic debug" functionality that Jason's patch series implements IMO. There's also a wider robustness argument why this is better: we want to keep printk simple by default, hence doing these things via the ASCII space is good design. "dynamic debug" does it all programmatically via extra sections, etc., which is eventually a source of bugs and unrobustness. Ingo --
hi, indeed both proposals seem to be addressing a similar core issue - being able to dynamically (as opposed to re-compiling) change the amount of verbosity that the kernel spews. I would liken it to adding a -verbose flag to the kernel. Beyond that the 2 approaches differ in a number of ways as I see: 1) Filtering Unit. 'Boot printk', or Yinghai's approach explicitly defines filtering units via tags. 'dynamic debug' is implicitly based around "KBUILD_MODNAME", not .c files, which seems to be a good unit for most parts of the kernel. For full subsystems, it is not appropriate. There, i have introduced the conecpt, of 'logical modname', which is very roughly similar to the 'boot printk' tag concept. Basically, subsystems could be grouped together using this 'logical modname'. 2) kernel impact. Part of the design of 'dynamic debug' was to be very low impact. in fact, when its disabled, we basically jump around the printk with a test and a jump. So, there is only a 2 instruction overhead per call-site. I believe (and please correct me if i'm wrong) that 'boot printk' is filtering after printk has been called...So you have at least the overhead of a fucntion call plus the overhead of the printk() function. 3) usefullness beyond just doing 'printk'. The basic building block of dynamic debug is simply: 'dynamic_debug_enabled()'. So blocks of code are built up as: if (dynamic_debug_enabled()) { do debugging work } printk is then simply: if (dynamic_debug_enabled()) { printk(); } or: define pr_debug() (dynamic_debug_enabled()) { printk(); } The intent here was to dynamically be able to turn 'printk' or other debugging code dynamically off and on. 4) ability to compile out the code. 'dynamic debug' has 3 modes of compilation. If 'DEBUG' is set then then dynamic_debug_enabled() simply is defined to 1. If 'DYNAMIC_DEBUG' is set dynamic_debug_enabled() becomes the test and jump i desscribe in ...
8) The ability to accessed filtered messages a posteori (via dmesg), which is something we currently take for granted. This *is* the fundamental difference between what Yinghai has now and both your stuff and Yinghai's original proposal. Not producing the additional messages at all is inherently cheaper, sometimes *much* cheaper, but it obviously means the information is not accessible at all. At the moment, I would argue that the fact that dmesg is, in effect, more verbose than the kernel itself is a good thing; it makes dmesg dumps more useful. -hpa --
which is what we really want. If a bootup fails, the user has to repeat the bootup at least once with a verbosity level increased and with (hopefully) some sort of log capture facility attached. So the point would be, if the user specified loglevel=all, we would get yes - but log messages not showing up on the physical console is already a task that is solved via regular loglevels. printks are being removed because even printing to the dmesg can be expensive (vsprintf is not the cheapest of functions, and most of dmesg shows up in the syslog and people want a clear, default, not too verbose output for that). so the main feature of these patches is that we can cut out too verbose information by default, and we can reactivate it with a single central switch (and a repeated bootup - which has to be done anyway). Everything else is already solved via either traditional loglevels or pr_debug() based, build-time facilities. Ingo --
That is true if the bootup fails, but it's fairly common that we get the machine up (at least to the point when we can dmesg), but the user wants to report a problem. For that case, it's very nice if the dmesg log contains as much information as possible. So I don't think it's clear that pre-filtering is what we want, at all. -hpa --
hi, if we take this argument to its extreme, then we end up spending all of our time verifying that the kernel is working correctly and no time actually doing work. I think 'printk_ratelimit' captures this. Thus, the line has to be drawn somewhere. If you want the messages in 'dmesg' use, printk(KERN_DEBUG), and 'grep'. For the rest, I propose pre-filtering, which is what 'dynamic debug' uses. thanks, -Jason --
Taking any argument to its extreme and you come up with something ridiculous. One could equally argue that if you have so many debugging messages that you have to prefilter for performance, you're so bloating your kernel that you need to stop. I find it highly questionable that it makes sense to put even skipped messages into hot paths in the production kernel. Skipped prints are NOT free, even if they are lot cheaper than actually rendering the string. -hpa --
in my testing there was no significant difference between pre-filtering vs. not built in. However, there was a measureable affect of having them If you feel that way, you simply don't have to turn the single CONFIG_ on. Futher, the patchset allows fine-grained control over the modules that you would want to enable/disable. thanks, -Jason --
<somewhat irrelevant rant> Okay, I'm so bloody sick of hearing people justifying bloat by saying "no measurable difference." That only means that you don't have GROSS bloat. Unless you have real statistics to the contrary, most people's performance testing is at the very best accurate to 5-10%. This is hardly "no bloat". </somewhat irrelevant rant> -hpa --
about performance difference: 1. will have printk(KERN_level KERN_tag "...\n"); 2. will have tag_printk like #define dev_printk(level, dev, format, arg...) \ printk(level KERN_DEV "%s %s: " format , dev_driver_string(dev) , \ dev_name(dev) , ## arg) 3. still can use MACRO for compiling time #ifdef DEBUG #define dev_dbg(dev, format, arg...) \ dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG , dev , format , ## arg) #else #define dev_dbg(dev, format, arg...) \ ({ if (0) dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG, dev, format, ##arg); 0; }) #endif 4. with /proc/sys/kernel/printk_tag/dev could modify run-time level. 5. for big chunk dump or spew, caller could use level = get_tag_level(KERN_DEV, &len) and compare level to KERN_SPEW_LEVEL or etc to decide if need to dump it. 6. other overhead to put tag like <dev> should be ok just like loglevel aready in the buffer current only have one struct { char *tag; char *name; /* with extra : */ int level; } the level is some kind of console_loglevel for that tag. if want to go further, let every dev_printk check that. then will not have them in log buffer YH --

It makes sense when you break it down. Drummond isn't getting enough time yet to challenge for the award, Terrence Ross hasn't done anything, and both Beal and Waiters' efficiency numbers are garbage. When you take into account that Anthony Davis has only played in six games so far because of injury, MKG has probably been the second-best rookie so far, behind only Lillard.
Harrison Barnes has also been pretty solid, while Thomas Robinson and Sullinger aren't getting the minutes to put up numbers, but they haven't flopped, either.

Yep, MKG has been playing well but he's not exactly getting a ton of competition for best rookie in the East.
The next best eastern rookie might seriously be Taylor so far

"Every morning when I wake up I find a neatly wrapped gift lying on my chest. Now I have to admit that in my past I always pushed this gift aside without even looking at it. I was too rushed and determined to get things done to even consider opening it. I was working, pushing, and trying so hard to make my life work out with so little progress at the end of each day. I trudged through all of my pains, challenges and difficulties while things went from bad to worse. I kept crawling through my life until I was too exhausted to go on.
"Then one morning I finally noticed that beautiful gift lying there and opened it for the first time. These days when I open my eyes and see the gift waiting for me, I smile. I carefully and happily tear off the paper and open the box. I take out the gift and hold it in my arms. I give thanks for it and bring it with me wherever I go all through the day. This gift makes my life so much better. I meet people with a smiling face and a loving heart. I laugh easily, sing often, and feel my spirit dancing even when my feet don't. I face life's struggles, challenges, difficulties, and pains with hope, determination, optimism, and joy. I know that whatever I must face and whatever I must do that this glorious gift will carry me through.
This gift is Grace. It is the unconditional love of God. It is the unmerited help of our Heavenly Father in all we do. Grace is waiting for us each and every morning of our lives. It is waiting to make a home in our hearts and minds. It is waiting for us to share it with the world. Grace is there ready to help us live our live with love every single day.
What are you going to do when you wake up tomorrow morning? Are you going to shove this gift aside and struggle to make it on your own? Or are you going to thank God for this precious gift, take it in your hands, and place it joyfully into your soul?"
Dear Readers, in today's turbulent times with challenges facing us every day, I am so thrilled to have God's present waiting for me each new day. How about you?
Question And Answer
Q: How many Congressmen does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Two. One to assure the public that everything possible is being done while the other screws it into a water faucet.
Let's Meet At The River
A minister was completing a temperance sermon and with great emphasis he said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."
With even greater emphasis he said, "And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."
And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."
Sermon complete, he sat down…
The song leader stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, nearly laughing, "For our closing song, let us sing Hymn 365, 'Shall We Gather at the River.'"
Happy Anniversary
to two wonderful couples celebrating their wedding anniversaries this week. Bobby and Becky Hyatt are celebrating their special day on Thursday, Feb. 7, while Bobby and Joyce Hall are celebrating their day of love on Friday, Feb. 8. Congratulations and may our Father God continue to bless your marriage and relationship bountifully.
Jonesville Auction
The New Social Spot of Union County is the Jonesville Auction. I try to go on Saturday nights to see friends, watch people, eat food, and do some impulsive buying.
On February 8 at 7 p.m., auctioneer John is hosting the monthly food auction. My doctor told me to watch my weight. So I am putting it out front of me so I can watch it.
Folks, if you like to eat and you like good food, and you like saving money, and you like fellowshipping with other Buffalonians and Unionites, then I would love to invite you to join us on Friday night. And Teresa's french fries are absolutely wonderful!
A Fast Computer
Modern technology is awesome. But it is also expensive. For example, do you have a fast computer? A fast computer costs a lot of money. My computer is so slow…when I click the "Send" button, a little door opens on the side of the monitor and a pigeon flies out. Now, that's slow!
I am very excited to share with you some special birthdays this week. Mrs. Beth Revis, who lives in the Meadow Woods community, emailed me and told me that her son, Daniel, was celebrating his 13th birthday today, Feb. 7. Happy Birthday, Daniel!
Also celebrating birthdays this week are Kathy Ebner, a close friend of mine living in Hollywood, S.C. and Zachary Raines, celebrating their birthdays on Thursday, Feb. 7. Also, Wanda Holcombe on Friday, Feb. 8; Luke Edens on Saturday, Feb. 9; D. J. Anthony on Sunday, Feb. 10; William Prince and John Wayne Brandon (who will be turning 73) on Tuesday, Feb. 12; Bobby Hall, Brad Phillips, and Frances Lancaster who all will be having birthdays on Wednesday, Feb. 13.
Let's take a moment and let these wonderful people know how happy we are for them. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Y'ALL!!!
Parrots And Priorities
The story is told of a woman who bought a parrot to keep her company, but she returned it the next day.
"This bird doesn't talk," she told the owner.
"Does he have a mirror in his cage?" he asked. "Parrots love mirrors. They see their reflection and start a conversation."
The woman bought a mirror and left. The next day she returned; the bird still wasn't talking.
"How about a ladder? Parrots love ladders. A happy parrot is a talkative parrot."
The woman bought a ladder and left. But the next day, she was back.
"Does your parrot have a swing? No? Well, that's the problem. Once he starts swinging, he'll talk up a storm."
The woman reluctantly bought a swing and left. When she walked into the store the next day, her countenance had changed.
"The parrot died," she said. The pet store owner was shocked.
"I'm so sorry. Tell me, did he ever say anything?" he asked.
"Yes, right before he died," the woman replied. "In a weak voice, he asked me, 'Don't they sell any food at that pet store?'"
Sometimes we forget what's really important in life. We get so caught up in things that are good while neglecting the things that are truly necessary. We've got to provide the family with a nice house. And of course, we've got to have at least two cars. And to make everybody truly happy, we need the latest smart phone. But, if we're not careful, we'll make the mistake of thinking those (and many other such "things") are the things that bring us satisfaction and meaning.
This lady forgot her priorities with her parrot. How are our priorities in our lives? We can easily determine what our true priorities are by looking at (1) what we spend our money on, (2) what we spend our time doing, and (3) what we talk about.
About priorities, Jesus said, "The thing you should want most is God's kingdom and doing what God wants. Then all these other things you need will be given to you." (Matthew 6:33, NCV). Hm-m-m, food for thought.
Thought Of The Week
He is rich who is satisfied with what he has.

We're entering the final lap here at Comic Con. The fans are running around to snatch up last-minute deals, the staffers are looking a little glazed over – but the energy in the convention center is still high.
Surprisingly, I'm still fairly functional. I think. The marathon that is SDCC is coming to a close, but we still have some stuff to show off, at least in regards to books hitting next week.
What better way to kick off your weekend then by looking at some lovely Renato Guedes pages?
Yes, indeed friends, those are the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS you see below. What does this mean? Well, it's simple – in the same way the Milestone and Red Circle characters have been integrated into regular DCU continuity, so will the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS. That's pretty much all we've got to say at this point, aside from the lovely designs by superstar artist J.G. Jones you see here.
As promised, there was more going on at the DC booth on Friday beyond breaking Guinness World Records. Yesterday, DC Comics President and Publisher Paul Levitz was honored with a shiny, new -- and upgraded -- Inkpot Award by Comic-Con International in a surprise ceremony.
The day is winding down a bit, but not before we get to experience a dose of the critically acclaimed WEDNESDAY COMICS, live from Comic-Con. DC Art Director Mark Chiarello is the MC tonight, with a collection of talent from WEDNESDAY COMICS. Which talent? Well, if you're around, swing by Room 5AB and find out.

First my thoughts and prayers are with the families of the tragedy in Connecticut. Now I want your opinion.
As a security professional I was asked today what do I think is a solution to help eliminate this. I think first schools need to invest in better electronic security, such as advanced security cameras and access control systems that lets school officials monitor the activities inside and out...side of the school as well as who is entering and exiting.
In addition I think the schools need one or more security guards to properly handle and search visitors with a strict zero tolerance for allowing anyone in without properly being searched and checked.
The big question is how do we pay? My solution is schools may need to seriously look at corporate sponsorship. I'm not talking about Red Bull or things perceived to be bad for kids.
But businesses, services, recreational places that could invest enough money to help keep the children of today and the future safe. I also think schools with sports fields should start selling advertising plaques on the outfield wall of the baseball field for sidelines of the football field which will also help pay for the systems and people that will help keep our children safe.
I would love to hear anyone's comments or thoughts on my idea and would welcome a conversation whether you agree or disagree with my suggestion because I'm sure we all agree that finding a way to make things safer for our children as well as the teachers and staff that we entrust them to everyday is always of the utmost importance.
2:43 pm on Sunday, December 16, 2012
My daughter is in first grade at Simmons. I am very concerned with the laid back security of such a big school. I like your ideas, we have to get creative to find the way to ensure the safety of our children, whatever it takes. I hope that action is taken immediately, we never can know when tragedy could strike.
Betsy Erickson
3:25 pm on Sunday, December 16, 2012
I know that we immediately want to respond with increase security. We can not completely protect our students if someone wants to harm them. Our schools are already feeling the pinch with trying to keep up on supplies, staff, field trips, PE equipment, playground equipment, updating technologies. Now you are suggesting adding another bill to the pile. I agree it is a tragedy! But, security guards would have been killed, and if someone had tried to stop him to check his "bag", they would have been killed. From what I remember of the school at Simmons, there is only one way in, through the front door and the classes are all inside. What else can be done that does not turn our school into a prison? I would like the discussion to turn to how can we help students who may have emotional or mental problems before they get to this level. What support is given to teachers and parents who report a child who is violent in the primary grades? What support is given at each of our educational levels when students can not function within the traditional school setting? We as a society must look at getting these children and families help at the earliest possible moment. Please do not spend valuable resources on security precautions that will not stop those intent on harming others, spend it instead on services to help those in need.
4:26 pm on Sunday, December 16, 2012
Disagree with you Betsy. There may only be one way in at Simmons ( this is debatable too), but that one way is not well secured. Anyone can walk in at anytime and make their way to our children who are just a short few feet down the hallway. You are supposed to go to the office to get a pass and sign in, but there is no protection from what I have seen to stop anyone from entering with violent intentions. Do you have children at Simmons? I don't believe you do because if you did, this would be unacceptable to you with having your child unprotected from this type of harm.
8:14 am on Monday, December 17, 2012
Knee-jerk reactions will not keep our children safer. I am tired of being searched everywhere I go in the name of security. Short of allowing all school staff to be armed (and I don't think that's necessarily a good idea), there is nothing we can do to be 100% safe from people who are this intent on evil. He would have killed anyone in his path, including a security guard. My best realistic suggestion is installing buzz-in doors from the office into the school and panic alarms, which may have slowed him down and given the teachers enough notice to lock down their classrooms. And yes, I do have children at Simmons as well.

The teachers that gave their life to try to save the Children were Brave but if they were allowed to carry, This may be the answer. No one can predict what will happen with a Deranged person. This is a terrible thing that our schools face. May the Lord help us and keep our children safe.
Sue Wertz

It is my understanding that this man was not let in, that he broke the glass out of the front doors and walked in. An idea to shore up the doors would at the least slow down someone, giving the police time to respond before entrance is gained. Security grilles are an option; they bolt to the existing door frame and would not impede the functionality of the door or panic bar device for exiting.
10:28 am on Monday, December 17, 2012
Good idea Sue. Arming teachers and school faculty is definitely not the answer. We can't make our schools prisons and have our children living in fear. We need to look at the procedures we already have in place and make sure they are being followed.
grace Blanton
11:41 am on Monday, December 17, 2012
First and foremost people with either mental or severe personality disorders should
be identified making them unqualified to purchase or own guns. People who legally own guns (particularly those with children and/or those with family menbers with mental, etc. personality problems) should be required to keep them under lock and key (hear the hue and cry?)
Illegal gun carrying penalties should be stiffened, license fees should be increased and schooling on gun handling should be mandatory.
Assault weapons should be banned. And the obvious - legislation should be set in motion as soon as the Fiscal Cliff problem is history.
LET's TAKE BACK THE JUNGLE.
12:52 pm on Monday, December 17, 2012
As soon as the US pulls our security troops out of Afghanistan, let us put those troops on our streets to make us safer at home. Our police need support in enforcing our current and future gun laws and regulations. Taking back the jungle can not be done with feel good laws and regulations, it must be done with a surge of troop force. Paris France has security police with assault rifles ready to handle problems on it's public transportation systems. Grace Blanton is right,
Mike Shortall
3:15 pm on Monday, December 17, 2012
The Posse Comitas Act (1878) prohibits a military solution to crime without an constitutional amendment or act of Congress.
In any case, not necessarily a good option to have military units patrolling our streets to fight common crime.
1:13 pm on Monday, December 17, 2012
Local police need a list of people with severe mental disorders just like sex offenders are listed publicly.
1:24 pm on Monday, December 17, 2012
I already see the complete lack of rationality coming to light. No Grace, my children do not need to be educated on handling guns. And no Bob, we don't need military personal walking our streets - we do not live in a jungle. And what is a list of people with "severe" mental disorders going to accomplish? This kid wasn't known to have "severe" mental disorders - he was known to be quiet, shy and very smart. Should we put all of the people that fit this profile on a list too? The paranoia and the fear mongering are what we need to avoid.

Hopefully President Obama can work to restore American Citizens faith in the governments ability to defend all it's citizens so that there will less gun ownership. He has the political capital, but will he use it effectively?
12:17 pm on Thursday, December 20, 2012
I think all of the points of above are good. but you have to realize that someone unstable or a criminal will find a way to get a gun no matter what law is in place. Yes it will be harder but when someone is thinking of doing a horrific crime like this they will find a way. you can put all the locks on doors and camras and arm your teachers. But again if you have someone wanting to do a crime to a specific place they will find a way. Last i checked all our kids go out to recess so if they cant get in they will wait or break in a window. I have 3 kids of my own and its scary but when your dealing with criminals or illness they will find a way. God bless all the famlies at Sandy Hook Elementary.

I am a gun owner and I carry. I see at the range a lot of us shoot much better than the cops. Gun owners are for the most part gun lovers. We love to shoot. Cops are mostly interested in protecting others and find the gun is just a tool. And a lot of them hold the gun in disdain. The same would be for teachers. And guards to be of value would have to be professional. Look at the guards at malls. Some are sharp and professional but most are old retired men looking for a little extra income. And the pay is not much. If we want armed guards who are professional and sharp we need to pay a lot.
There are several small steps that would help a little. Look at the 7-11's and WaWa. Free coffee for the cops to lure them in. What would it take to draw cops to spend time at the schools? Free lunch? Free coffee?
What I feel would work the best is several small things. Like ALL doors will need to be hardened. Slow down the room to room movement. Sectional fire doors that can close to seal off parts of the school. Do away with the 'gun free zone' status of schools. People would still need to check in and have business in the school. I can't enter the Simmons School since I don't have children there. I do have grandsons in a school in the Wind Gap area. As a grandparent I should be allowed to visit them. That introduces to the attack a level of uncertainty. Now they would not know who is carrying if any. Let's have the attackers do the worrying not the kids.

Georgia Power and Atlanta-based Solar Design & Development (SD&D) have collaborated to develop and install around the state a series of solar projects totaling 19 megawatts (MW) – Georgia Power's first retail utility-scale solar power development. When complete, the projects will more than double Georgia's solar production.
Upson County was chosen to be part of the project earlier this year when the Board of Commissioners approved rezoning for land owned by David Pittman, located near Glenwood Drive and Rocky Creek Road. Pittman entered into an agreement with Georgia Power to allow a solar farm on 10 acres of his 28-acre tract. Solar panels will be installed to harness the renewable energy source over the next 20 years.
"We are very excited that Georgia Power wanted to partner with our community when they could have chosen any other county in the state," said Commission Chairman Maurice Raines. "They have gone above and beyond to make sure the neighbors of the farm are pleased and we couldn't be happier. This is another feather Upson County can put in our cap for the good things happening in our community."
The 19 MW of solar capacity, part of Georgia Power's 50 MW large-scale solar initiative approved last year by the Georgia Public Service Commission, will be added to the company's growing renewable energy portfolio. Georgia Power has contracted to purchase the output for the next 20 years.
In addition, Georgia Power awarded SD&D a 1 MW contract under the company's solar request for proposals (RFP) issued in May 2011. Solar resources from this RFP will supply Georgia Power's subscriber-based Green Energy program, bringing the total capacity in the program to 5.4 MW. The 1 MW plant on 10 acres in Upson County, Ga., recently became operational and is now providing enough power to supply the electrical needs of approximately 300 homes.
"The partnership with Solar Design & Development will help to fulfill the objective of expanding the role of solar energy in Georgia Power's generation portfolio," said Ervan Hancock III, Georgia Power's Renewable and Green Strategy manager. "Georgia Power remains committed to increasing the use of cost-effective, renewable resources that provide value for our customers."
"We appreciate the opportunity to bring economically responsible renewable energy to Georgia without negatively affecting customers," said Bradley Francis, president of Solar Design & Development.
Origis Energy has long-term ownership of the developments together with SD&D. Origis develops, finances and operates utility-scale solar plants across Europe and the U.S. The SD&D facilities are among the first of what Origis hopes will be a large portfolio of photovoltaic (PV) plants in the U.S.

Rated 4.6 out of 5Â by 30
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ninedegrees Amazing!!!!!!!!
I got the green and gold crew fleece sweatshirt and it is amazing! The color is so sweet and the quality is definitely top of the line. I got a medium, and it fits me perfectly; though usually mediums are too small and larges are too big, so I guess it does run a little big. But I am really happy with it, and I think its a top notch adidas product.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by fspu comfortable and looks great
The pic doesn't show that there are 3 stripes (same color as sweatshirt) going down both sleeves. the sweatshirt is really comfortable. its warm but not too bulky.
sweatshirt is a little longer than most but that's the way all sweatshirts should fit. most are the type that you need to constantly pull down because they feel too short. this was designed well

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Smit Beautiful sweatshirt, runs a little big
This sweatshirt is absolutely gorgeous, but I should have purchased an XL as opposed to a 2XL. I purchased a crewneck sweatshirt from the adidas originals store in Cambridge, MA a few years back, and the 2XL fit perfectly. This time around, the sweatshirt felt a little wide. With that said, it's an excellent piece, and the gray goes with so many of my adidas kicks!

This sweater is comfortable and perfect for the transition between winter and spring: not too warm but still cozy. The only thing I hate about it is the ridiculously high price, but if you have the money then go for it

Dallas,TX (April 4, 2012) — As Texas residents reel from the more than a dozen tornadoes that ripped through Dallas and Tarrent counties, World Vision's emergency disaster response team is preparing to rapidly distribute relief supplies expecting the greatest needs to include basic hygiene items, water, and non-perishable food. The Christian humanitarian agency also plans to address long-term recovery needs of affected families, with a specific focus on the needs of children.
"One of our biggest concerns is for survivors in Lancaster where preliminary assessments reveal about 300 homes damaged or destroyed, some in impoverished areas where families were already struggling," says Phyllis Freeman, World Vision's domestic emergency response director and a veteran of the agency's Hurricane Katrina response. "World Vision is working quickly to ensure the families who need the most assistance don't fall through the cracks."
World Vision is meeting today with a coalition of local churches to plan relief efforts to help the Dallas-Forth Worth community recover and rebuild. The humanitarian organization is prepared to provide relief supplies as early as today. Within the next 24 hours at World Vision's National Domestic Disaster Headquarters in Grand Prairie, 50 Dallas volunteers will assemble about 2,500 food kits for those affected by the tornadoes and other families in need in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Each 'kit' contains 3 to 4 meal packets (breakfast, lunch, dinner) or enough food to feed a family of five for one day by providing sustenance such as oatmeal, lentil soup and pasta. Additionally, this week, 700 hygiene kits will be assembled by JPMorgan Chase volunteers in Salem, New Hampshire. (Chase is a first responding World Vision corporate partner). The kits will be directed to World Vision's response hub in North Texas to help those most in need in tornado-affected areas. Next week, Chase volunteers will assemble more hygiene kits at 5 additional events in the Dallas area.
"It's saddening to think of how many families and children now have no place to call home," says Freeman. "The best way Americans can help right now is through cash donations of any amount. This allows World Vision and other responding groups to purchase supplies locally and respond quickly," says Freeman.
The public can help by visiting World Vision, calling (888) 56-CHILD (24453), or by texting "GIVEUSA" to 777444 to make a $10 donation to World Vision's disaster response.
World Vision has been serving North Texas and the Gulf region since 2002. In 2011, the 4th deadliest tornado year on record, World Vision used the new North Texas headquarters to send relief product to disaster survivors in multiple states including Alabama and Missouri. Hundreds of Texas volunteers also assist World Vision staff with preparing product for deployment and will continue to serve an integral role in responding to future domestic disasters.
About World Vision:
World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.

There is only one crime of murder in South Africa -- and premeditation is not a requirement. It is simply defined as the intentional unlawful killing of another human being.
However, premeditation plays a role for bail and sentencing. For the purposes of bail, if the charge is premeditated, it falls into a category with the most serious crimes, for which the defense must show exceptional circumstances to obtain bail.
South African law makes it difficult for defendants accused of premeditated murder to get out on bail. The law requires evidence of "exceptional circumstances" to justify release, and the onus is on the defense to prove this. Grant said it was more difficult to deny bail to someone on the lesser charge.
Nair upgraded the charge against Pistorius to premeditated murder, saying he could not rule out the possibility that the track star planned Steenkamp's death. But the magistrate said he would consider downgrading the charge later.
Where will Pistorius' trial take place?
Despite being South Africa's lower courts, regional magistrates' courts can hear all criminal cases barring treason, so it is possible that Pistorius could be tried in such a court.
However, Grant said the high court, which hears cases deemed too serious for magistrates' courts, could be in a better position to hear Pistorius' case.
"Given the interest in this and given the possible sentencing that might follow -- if it is established that this is premeditated -- the high court would be in a better position to hear it and to sentence," he said.
A high court trial could take place before a single judge or before a judge and two lay people, who are usually legal experts such as advocates, academics or retired magistrates, who are known as "assessors." These assessors are restricted though to answering questions of fact.
Their role is to advise the judge, who is not obliged to follow their guidance on questions of law, but they may overrule a single judge on questions of fact.

Lake County commissioners OK 2013 budget of just under $49.8 million (video)
Lake County commissioners have unanimously approved a $49,779,232 General Fund budget for 2013.
The estimated revenue for the general fund in 2013 is $49,835,086 and the carryover balance heading into the year was $4.5 million, said county Budget Director Joel DiMare. A carryover balance of $4.5 million is also anticipated heading into 2014.
State law gives counties until April 1 each year to approve a permanent budget, and Lake County had operated under a $13.756,199 temporary budget approved in December. The permanent budget supersedes the temporary one.
Commissioner Robert E. Aufuldish said Thursday during discussion and approval of their plan that it reflects a change in accounting with $10.3 million dedicated to health care spending as a separate fund rather than part of the General Fund.
If health care expenditures exceed what is budgeted, the money would be transferred from the General Fund to cover the expense, Commissioner Daniel P. Troy said.
In 2012, commissioners had approved a $58,551,886 budget and during that time health care was included in the General Fund.
Commissioners said the 2013 budget will now have a full year of collection from the 0.5 percent increase in the county's sales tax rate that took effect April 1. It is anticipated to bring in an additional $14 million to $15 million.
However, commissioners also approved a 1.1-mill reduction in property taxes dedicated to the General Fund that takes effect this year and will decrease those revenues by about $6 million.
"The sales tax and everything else has given us revenue to make this a nice, balanced budget," Aufuldish said. "As we talk about the sales tax everybody realizes we did this in an election year. We wanted to make Lake County a strong county and not let it get weak or become a part-time county." Continued...
Troy noted that the county will also see about $2 million less in state funding due to cuts in the state Local Government Fund and a decrease in reimbursement for tangible personal property reduction.
The county stormwater department will also see about $1 million less, or a 50 percent reduction, in stormwater fees collected from property owners in communities that participate in the county's Stormwater Management Department.
That reduction was part of the sales tax increase and property tax reduction plan.
"We feel this budget has stopped the bleeding and we feel we'll be able to provide the services to residents as efficiently as possible," Troy said. "We're not going to regrow employee bases and we have had discussions with officials during budget hearings."
Commissioner Judy Moran, who began service in January, said the budgeting process was a great experience and thanked department heads for their cooperation.
"Just because the county seems to be in better shape than the last couple years, nobody treated it as a free-for-all with their requests," Moran said. "I think the focus now should be on the aging infrastructure that we've kind of let go for the past few years."
Troy said the budget sets aside about $2 million to address capital repairs such as deteriorating parking lots and building upkeep.

The Liverpool mother accused of killing her newborn baby will be sentenced today. Nicole DeJaynes, 30, pleaded guilty to manslaughter earlier this month as part of a plea agreement. Our Iris St. Meran has the details.
ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- As part of that plea agreement, Nicole DeJaynes will receive 13 years in prison for the death of her daughter in January of 2011. The baby girl was found in a dumpster wrapped in a blanket by a man looking for wood.
Liverpool police named her Isabella and had funeral services for her where a number of people from the community came out.
This case was originally set to go to trial after DeJaynes rejected an initial plea deal back in January. Moments before jury selection was set to begin, she pleaded guilty to first degree manslaughter.
Autopsy reports showed the baby was born alive. The report also lists suffocation as the cause of death. According to prosecutors, the 30-year-old claimed she did not hurt the baby intentionally and she thought the child was stillborn.
Her sentencing will take place later this morning at Onondaga County Court.

Lab bench from kitchen cabinets
"I have been doing stuff like this for years at home and work and am glad that it is being showcased. I work for a product development company called Daedalus - we develop a lot of medical, lab and safety equipment for all kinds of companies. As part of our development work, we often need to perform research or functional testing on the equipment we design so we built ourselves a dedicated testing lab/room.
However, when we wanted to furnish it out with some nice looking, freestanding lab benches, we found that there weren't any that could be had for any reasonable price. So we pulled up Ikea.com and went to work.
What we came up with was a design for a free standing lab bench that is 60"L x 30"D x 38"H, has lots of storage and is solid as a rock. It is composed mostly of Akurum cabinets - one deep base cabinet flanked by 4 shallower wall cabinets. These are bolted to each other and to a 2 x 4 base frame that we built to give it a good foundation.
The wood base is clad with some aluminum bar stock and the whole thing sits atop 4 Capita legs. We topped it off with a heavy duty laminated top from Global Industrial and even wired it with 4 GFI electrical outlets so power would always be at hand. Attest cabinet pulls and some cheap extruded label holders with some lovely in-house designed labels added the finishing touches.
We made two of them at the same time but are now thinking of making some more since we like them so much. We have had them about 2 years now and they are holding up really well. While they have been real work horses, they have also added a polished look to what is an otherwise pretty industrial space.
We are also getting started on hacking together all new desks for the whole office. We are working on a design that would have a long cantilevered work surface hanging off both sides of a 5x5 Expedit book case. If they work out well, we'll send some pics your way."

awesome, just what i need.
i'm no sure i understand the baseframe. do you have any more pictures to share? also, how much did the bench end up costing? - AnonymousFebruary 01, 2010 10:39 PM
It looks really nice and with a different top I could see it as a kitchen island benchtop as well.
If at all possible, I'd love to see more pictures of how the base is constructed (it's the foundation after all :-).
Well done! - AnonymousFebruary 08, 2010 6:27 PM

Ethel Silver Sorokin of West Hartford, died Dec. 11, 2012, of a brain tumor. She was 84. (Elizabeth Joy Oberdorf / December 27, 2012) |
Ethel Silver Sorokin was one of handful of women lawyers of her generation, and a persistent defender of the First Amendment. She spent decades promoting the Center for First Amendment Rights, which she established with her late husband, Milton Sorokin, to educate the public about free speech.
She was tenacious and highly focused on everything she undertook, but also charming and persuasive.
"She set an example and you felt guilty turning her down," said Martin Margulies, professor emeritus of constitutional law at Quinnipiac University School of Law, whom she recruited for the board of CFAR.
"She's very difficult to say no to," he said. "She had a very focused sense of what she wanted to accomplish and an uncanny ability to enlist others."
Sorokin, of West Hartford, died Dec. 11 of a brain tumor. She was 84.
Sorokin was born on Sept. 17, 1928, to Jennie and Jacob Silver, and was nine and 10 years younger than her brothers. Her father ran the Standard Paper Co. in Hartford, a wholesaler of all types of paper. Her mother was a member of the national board of Hadassah, a Jewish women's service organization, and traveled widely raising money to help get Jewish children out of Germany.
Jennie Silver told her daughter repeatedly that a woman should always have a profession — Jennie's sister was a medical doctor — but after Ethel graduated from Vassar College in 1950, she wasn't certain which path to take. She married Milton Sorokin, who suggested that she join him in law school.
She asked why, and Milton asked her what else she would be doing when she reached the age of 40. Ethel retorted that she was never going to be 40, but she enrolled anyway at the University of Connecticut School of Law. There were three other women her class. She became the first female president of the law review and graduated in 1953, along with just one other woman.
The Sorokins began their lifelong professional and personal partnership, working first for a small law firm in Hartford, then forming their own partnership in 1956. Over the years, their firm grew and merged with other firms — Gross Hyde & Williams and Pullman & Comley.
"My dad was the rainmaker," said Rachel Sorokin Goff, their daughter, who is a lawyer in Philadelphia. "Mom was the intellectual" who wrote briefs all night long, leaving them to Milt, an early riser, to edit them. Their law practice was general — they handled everything but criminal matters — but over time, they began representing newspapers in First Amendment issues.
One case involved the cross-ownership of newspapers and television stations by the same company, which they challenged successfully. "Ethel provided the intellectual theories, and it was successful," said Rick Robinson, a lawyer who started work with the Sorokins and is now with Pullman Comley.
Another case involved whether The Courant could block the Journal Inquirer of Manchester, a competitor, from running "Peanuts" and "Dear Abby," and the Sorokins prevailed on behalf of the Journal Inquirer.
They also were successful, according to a report in the Connecticut Law Tribune, in defending a Journal Inquirer reporter who was arrested for refusing to leave an Enfield town council meeting. The decision in the reporter's favor provided some of the underpinnings of the state's Freedom of Information Act, enacted in 1975.
In her law practice, Sorokin attracted a fair number of women who wanted a female attorney to represent them in their divorces. Once, during a pretrial hearing before retired Supreme Court Justice Louis Shapiro, the judge suggested a settlement that she thought favored the husband.
Robinson, who had accompanied her, was surprised by Sorokin's response. "Ethel lit into him. 'Judge, that's just outrageous.' She just battered the guy. The judge ultimately gave her everything she wanted because she was such a pain in the ass. When we got back to the office, she said, 'I should have asked for more.'"
Supreme Court Justice Richard Palmer, whose parents are friends of the Sorokins, once described Ethel as a "very, very capable lawyer, as well as "sweet," which surprised a lawyer who had seen Ethel's robust advocacy in court.
In 1993, the Sorokins founded the Center for First Amendment Rights in order to educate students and the public about the complex amendment and its many ramifications. They organized a writing contest with a $1,000 prize for high school students on a First Amendment issue — this year's topic is whether an anti-Muslim video that has caused uprisings should be suppressed.
CFAR also sponsored conferences for high school journalists to learn their rights and educational programs for middle and high school students and teachers. The Sorokins gave speeches around the state about the importance of the First Amendment, and enlisted the help of Margulies and others.
"She was tenacious, steadfast and resolute," said Hugh MacGill, the law school's former dean, whose coffee date with the Sorokins ended up with a commitment from the law school to host a yearly CFAR symposium on free press issues.
After Milton Sorokin's death in 1996, the symposium was named for him, and Ethel began to work full time to promote the center's work. She applied for grants, raised money, contacted speakers and twisted arms to accomplish her goals.
