One of the interesting statistical feats commonly achieved in basketball is the "double" - the accumulation of some double-digit number in at least one of five categories (points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots). Often, a person will state that "Sylvia Fowles had a double-double last night", meaning that in at least two of those five categories she scored a double digit number. A triple-double would be scoring double-digits in at least three of those categories.
The double-double is quite common in women's pro ball. However, as far as I know, there have only been six triple-doubles in ABL/WNBA history.
January 30, 1997: Niesa Johnson, Atlanta Glory (A) vs. Columbus Quest, 97-77, 14 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists
June 27, 1999: Sheryl Swoopes, Houston (H) vs. Detroit, 85-46, 15 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists
June 7, 2001: Margo Dydek, Utah (H) vs. Orlando, 82-79, 12 points, 11 rebounds, 10 blocks
September 9, 2004: Lisa Leslie, Los Angeles (H) vs. Detroit, 81-63, 29 points, 15 rebounds, 10 blocks
May 21, 2005: Deanna Nolan, Detroit (H) vs. Connecticut, 78-67, 11 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists - the only opening-day triple-double
September 3, 2005: Sheryl Swoopes, Houston (A) vs. Seattle, 75-58, 14 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists - the only playoff triple-double
But has any player reached a quadruple-double, where a player scored in double-digits in four of the above five categories? Believe it or not - it has happened. What, you weren't aware? This feat was achieved by Debbie Black, all 5 feet and 3 inches of her, in an American Basketball League game by the Colorado Xplosion against the Atlanta Glory on December 8, 1996, where Black scored 10 points, 14 rebounds (!!), 12 assists and 10 steals.
But who actually won the game? What was the final score? Did the game take place in Atlanta or Colorado?
If you try to find out anything about the game - the attendance, the statistical line, what Black said after the feat, whether she was even aware of the feat - you come to a dead end. The WNBA honored the feat in Debbie Black's eventual retirement article, which is a rarity as the default for the WNBA is to pretend the ABL never existed. If you think it's hard finding about about Black's quadruple-double, imagine trying to find out about Niesa Johnson's triple-double, an achievement unfortunately overshadowed by Black's quadruple-double six weeks earlier.
It's a good thing I had an old ABL media guide or I might have never gotten the date right. Furthermore, I can now say with finality that the score of the game of that quadruple-double was Colorado 91, Atlanta 75 and that the game took place in Colorado, most likely at the Denver Coliseum where most of the Xplosion's games were played. Or maybe, I can't say anything with finality. The ABL Media Guide wants to attribute Johnson's triple-double to the previous game two days earlier against New England in one section and to the game above in another; I trust the Seattle Times more than the not-entirely-100-percent accurate guide.
Black ended up being named on the 1996-97 all ABL second team, and was the Defensive Player of the Year that same season.
I finally found some information about the game from this article from Colleen Bitner:
On December 8, 1996, with one minute to go in an American Basketball League game, the Colorado Xplosion versus the Atlanta Glory, Point Guard Debbie Black had 14 rebounds, 12 assists, and 10 steals. She had already registered a triple double, but that wasn't good enough for her. Debbie had eight points, and she was determined to make that ten. Her coach told her to take it to the hoop, so she did, earning the fifth-ever quadruple-double in professional basketball history, and was the first ever in women's basketball.
"It was my best-ever performance in my career." Debbie told ESPN. "It was just awesome. There have only been four people in the NBA to do it, ever. That makes it that much more of an honor."
The article also tells an amusing story about the player known as The Pest. A graduate of St. Joseph's, she was signed by the Tasmanian Islanders of the WNBL, the Australian women's pro league. They were under the impression that Black was 6-3, and not 5-3. Even so, she played eight seasons in Australia.
Of course, there might have been a triple double or even a quadruple double somewhere along the way in the old Women's Professional Basketball League (WBL). We'll never know. Those records are dead, and as far as the world is concerned, they are buried. In order to recover much of women's professional basketball history, one needs not historians as much as archaeologists. The records could be recovered but no one with either time or money has interest in doing it. To even find the WBL's records, one needs a legal team to unwind the WBL's bankruptcy proceedings - and one needs prayer, in the hope that whatever shack those records are stored in hasn't burned to the ground during the last thirty years.
Even when looking over the wide expanse of women's basketball history, a quadruple-double isn't the ne plus ultra of double-digit achievements. There has actually been a quintuple-double scored by a female basketball player in high school competition. In 1997, during a game for Duncanville (Texas) High School, a player had 25 points, 18 rebounds, 11 assists, 10 steals and 10 blocked shots in a game. The circumstances of the game are no longer known; one suspects that details are light to protect the name of the losing team.
I wonder whatever became of that player who scored the quintuple-double. Her name is Tamika Catchings. Maybe she's playing in Europe somewhere.

Jan High, an educator and pioneer in women's sports who coached top teams at Sacramento City College, died Jan. 9 of cancer, her family said. She was 76.
Ms. High championed women's athletics as a physical education teacher and coach for more than 40 years. She spent 11 years at Sacramento High School before joining the faculty at SCC in 1969, three years before federal Title IX outlawed gender discrimination in sports at high schools and colleges.
"Jan was always an advocate for young girls and women in sports," retired SCC track coach Karen Kunimura said. "When Title IX passed, she made sure everybody knew about it and that we were going to follow it."
She posted a record of 304-185 as women's basketball coach at SCC in the 1970s and 1980s and led the group to postseason play every season after women's playoffs were started. She recruited players at local golf courses to found the women's golf team at SCC in 1995.
She also coached the women's swimming team and served as women's athletic director and interim dean of physical education. She retired from SCC in 2001 and served briefly as an interim dean and athletic director at Sierra College.
Ms. High received many honors as a coach and educator. She was named 1985 women's coach of the year by the California Community College Athletic Association. She was inducted into halls of fame at Sacramento City College, the CCCAA Women's Basketball Coaches Association and the Christian Brothers La Salle Club.
Born in 1936 in Modesto, Janice Marie High was the third of five children raised by a heavy-equipment operator and homemaker. She began playing sports early and joined a Modesto semipro softball team at 13.
She graduated from California State University, San Jose, and earned a master's degree in physical education from California State University, Sacramento. She taught PE and coached girls sports at Sacramento High School. She also coached a semipro softball team, the Sonics, in the early 1970s.
Ms. High lived in Gold River. Never married, she enjoyed spending time with her sisters, nieces and nephews. Her favorite activities included playing golf and attending the theater and Sacramento Kings games.
She traveled widely and enjoyed fishing on family vacations in Santa Cruz. A devout Catholic, she was a longtime member of St. Ignatius Loyola Parish in Sacramento.
"You could count on her every Sunday with her sister in the second pew," Kunimura said. "God was a very important part of her life."

Colliers Wood mother who had tapeworm in her brain fights for flat move
12:30pm Thursday 20th September 2012 in News By Lauren May, Chief Reporter
A mother-of-four who suffered an aneurysm after a tapeworm burrowed inside her brain is fighting to be moved from her third floor council flat for fear of having an epileptic fit while alone with her children.
Suki-Jane Taylor, 42, contracted neurosysticerosis in 2009, a parasitic disease of the nervous system, after being infected by a tapeworm that found its way into her brain.
Once there, the parasite died causing an aneurysm the size of a tangerine leaving Miss Taylor requiring major surgery, a shunt in her skull and causing a loss of taste and smell, epilepsy and depression.
She said: "If it hadn't been for my partner's insistence that they keep me in at St George's and I see a specialist and had an MRI scan they wouldn't have found the aneurysm.
"They removed it straight away and when I was coming around he was talking to my partner and he said I was two weeks away from death.
"It was right at the top of my spine at the back of my brain."
Miss Taylor, who has been on the housing list to move for the last 13 years, is currently housed in a two-bed third-floor flat in Kendall Court, Colliers Wood, with her partner, two-year-old son, 12 year-old-son who has Asperger's syndrome, and 10-year-old daughter.
She regularly climbs the three flights of stairs carrying her two-year-old, despite neurologists warning her doing so could cause an epileptic seizure putting herself and her child in danger.
She said: "My balance has gone, my sense of smell and taste has gone and my eyesight has got worse.
"If I carry too much up and down the stairs I can have an epileptic fit.
"I can sometimes feel that I have taken the stairs when I haven't.
"My consultant has said if I am moved to a property where I haven't got any steps she could take me off of the epileptic tablets.
"I'm alive and I'm going to see my children grow up, but I have been left by Wandle Housing Association."
In a letter to Wandle Housing Association, Miss Taylor's consultant neurologist described her accommodation as "unacceptable", calling for her to be moved as a "priority".
Despite this, Wandle Housing Association listed Miss Taylor as a non-urgent medical case after an assessment in January 2011.
Miss Taylor hopes to return to south-east London where her extended family is based.
A Wandle Housing Association spokesman said it recognised the family had been "dealing with what is clearly a very stressful situation".
He said: "Miss Taylor applied for a transfer due to medical reasons in January 2011.
"A medical assessment carried out resulted in her application being classed as a low medical priority at the time.
"However, Miss Taylor's health has deteriorated over time and, as a result, Wandle has worked closely with Ms Taylor to make a number of changes that have ensured that she has highest priority for a transfer in her areas of choice.
"We are working hard to locate a suitable property for Miss Taylor and her family.
"She is the highest priority for a move and we are currently waiting for an appropriate three or four-bedroom house or ground floor flat to become available as a priority."

I have experience with OpenGroupWare it can be a bit tricky for Mac/Windows clients but, not all that hard to implement. If you are looking for easier and robust deployments and still want to keep it free. You should take a look at either:
Zimbra – Community Edition (Open-Source)
Open-Exchange Community Edition (Open-Source)
However, OGW and Egroupware are solid products as well took a bit of tweaking and tinkering, and few nights of coffee and Jolt Cola to get Opengroupware where I wanted to be bt, in the past year I have implemented the above two mentioned products Zimbra, and OX recently for other sites.

The bridge at Courbevoie, 1887
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)
On his painting excursions to the northwest suburbs of Paris, Van Gogh often painted the Seine near Asnières with the Ile de la Grande Jatte. Vincent's Paris period coincided with a time when the Pointillist painter Georges Seurat was one of the leading figures of the avant-garde. Van Gogh explored elements of Seurat's style, experimenting with "dots" of paint and bold juxtapositions of contrasting colors. He adopted these new techniques, but gave them his own individual stamp.

The states case against two men accused in the beating death of a Lafayette college student is taking longer than expected. In March of 2011 Ian Trahan and Wayland Guillory were indicted on charges of second degree murder in connection with the beating death of Kenneth Donnely. Both pleaded not guilty. According to their attorney, Tommy Guilbeau, both men were in court Friday for a pre-trial hearing to review video statements made to police.
Guilbeau also took the opportunity to ask the judge to suppress at least some of that video statement. Because the proceedings took longer than expected the judge adjourned the hearing until next month.
In October of 2010 Lafayette Police say Trahan and Guillory forced their way into a house on McKinely Street where they beat Donnelly to death and also attacked Rufus fells, who was also sleeping inside.
Trahan and Guillory are each facing one count of second degree murder and one count of attempted second degree murder.
Funeral Arrangements Made For Slain UL Student
Funeral services have been set for the victim of Lafayette's latest homicide.
Visitation is set for Tuesday with the funeral on Wednesday at Lake Lawn Funeral Home in Metairie for Kenneth Donnely Junior.
Police say Donnely was found dead at his home on McKinley Street by his roommate. According to sources, that roommate also found Rufus Fells in critical condition.
Police say the two victims were attacked in their home, with a blunt, metal object, but couldn't find signs of forced entry. Anyone with information should call Lafayette Crime Stoppers at 232-TIPS.
UL Student Slain
Police are following up on leads in the homicide of a UL student on McKinley Street in Lafayette.
Police say Kenneth Donnely Junior was found dead at his residence on McKinley Street by his roommate Thursday afternoon.
According to sources, that roommate also found Rufus Fells of Alexandria in critical condition.
Police say the two victims were attacked in their home with a blunt metal object but couldn't find signs of forced entry. Public Affairs Officer Mark Francis said the public can call police, and they don't have to identify themselves.
"Your anonymity is protected; we're just interested in finding those individuals that are responsible for this serious crime."
If you'd like to submit a tip about this or any other case, call Lafayette Crime Stoppers at 232-TIPS.
McKinley Street Homicide victim identified
KLFY TV 10 has learned the identity of the person found beaten to death in a house on McKinley Street in Lafayette. According to a statement from the University of Lafayette obtained by Eyewitness News, the victim is identified as Kenneth Paul Donnely Jr, a freshman from Alexandria who attended ULL.
In the statement, The University of Louisiana at Lafayette says, "We are saddened by the loss of one its students. The University wishes to express its deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Kenneth Donnely Jr."
McKinley Street Homicide
Lafayette Police are investigating a homicide in the 300 block of McKinley Street.
Initial reports indicate that two men were found in the house, one person dead, one in critical condition, both white men in their early 20s. At this point is possible the victims are UL students, but authorities are not certain.
Authorities responded to a 911 called placed at 2:07 pm. The person, who called 911, is reportedly the third resident who lives in the house and had just returned from a trip to find them.
Lafayette Police Department Public Affairs Officer Mark Francis says police are hard up for leads at this point in their investigation.
Francis said anyone with information about what happened should call Lafayette Crime Stoppers at 232-TIPS.

Review Details
Product Review (submitted on August 6, 2013):
I have used this product for almost 2 years and counting. It was recommended to me by a friend and it's the best eye cream I've ever used. First thing I like is that it really does moisturize and softens the eye area. The consistency is great. It really feels great when you apply it and the best thing is is doesn't run anywhere. It stays put and absorbs. You also don't need a lot. A little goes a long way. So it lasts a long time! Such a great product.

Alabama Power Co. predicts that its rates will remain level through 2014, despite the forecast of consumer savings when the state's utility regulatory board approved a new rate plan.
The Public Service Commission voted 2-1 last month to revise its rate stabilization plan for Alabama Power. Commission President Twinkle Cavanaugh forecast the change would result in annual savings for consumers of $30 to $110.
Alabama Power says the modification will not result in any immediate reduction in customer bills, but it is expected to put downward pressure on rates over the long run. Alabama Power says it expects its base rate to remain level through 2014.
AARP is asking the PSC to reconsider its decision. It says rates should be lowered. Alabama Power says the request is without merit.

On June 26th, 2012, this man told me that I am the reason he plays music.
You're probably sick of the band cliche, but We Came As Romans saved my life. I was on my bedroom floor on June 13th, 2010, with a knife in my hand and my stereo loud. I was ready to end my life when I heard my radio tell me "I believe in me, I believe in you, and I believe that we are not meaningless." I put the knife down and cried. They stopped me.
For years I had been struggling with self-harm, since the death of my best friend when I was 11 years old. The third time I saw WCAR, at the Zumiez Couch Tour, I decided to bring them a letter I wrote about how they saved me.
The merch guy asked me what I wanted and I said to talk to someone in the band. "I have something to give them." He ran to find me a band member while my boyfriend and I anxiously waited. He came back with Andy in tow. "Hey, what's up?" he asked us with a smile on his face.
"I'm here to see you guys play and I wanted to give you this, too." I handed my letter to him with a shaky hand and the dumbest smile. "There's no rush, but all of you need to read it."
"I'll make sure this gets around to everyone." He smiled, and as I began to walk away, I tured my head to look back at him beginning to open the letter. I squealed at my boyfriend and he hugged me tight.
Later, as they were performing their song Broken Statues, I stood in the front row and screamed along. Andy found me in the front of the crowd and without a mic, pointing at me, looking into my eyes, he sang to me, "Show me your hands, let me wash them clean. Show me your heart and let me heal you." I began to cry, smiling bigger than ever as he smiled back.
After the show, I went back to the merch table with a flood of other fans. When I finally reached it, Andy and Lou stood there. "I am so glad you wrote this letter. I'm glad you're here today, not even, like, at this show, but like here, you know?"
"I'm glad I am, too," I laughed.
"You're the reason we do what we do. Your story, people like you, you're the reason I play music. If I wasn't making a difference and an impact like I have on you to many other people, it wouldn't be worth it. I don't think I'd be accomplishing anything."
"I love you, so much. All of you. Thank you for reading my letter and thank you for singing to me and just… Thank you for saving me and being a part of my life. I love you all."
"We love you too," Lou said. "I didn't get the chance to read it yet, but I got the gist of it from Andy earlier. I'm glad we could be there for you and, you know, he's right. This would be nothing if it wasn't for stories like yours. You really are why we do this."
You all mean something to someone. Your story, your life, your entire existence can mean the world to someone. You can share your story and someone, like these guys, will believe in you. Someone out there loves you more than life itself, and I promise that it gets better. No matter what, stay alive. You can make it through anything. I'm here for you if you need me, I always will be. My ask box is open, you an ask me for my email address if the ask text limit is too short, I am always here for you. Believe it or not, someone can save our life and you are ALWAYS someone's reason for something good.
I love you.
I'm crying, it's so beautiful. I'm so happy that you went through this shit and.. omg I love those guys and you too, if...

The USA Baseball 18-and-under National Team Trials roster was cut from 40 to 28 players Saturday night after the Prospect Classic Game.
Russell County High rising senior Anfernee Grier was one of the players cut from the roster.
The roster will be further trimmed to 20 players in August before the team heads to South Korea for the IBAF Junior AAA/18U World Championships.


text: As we near the holidays we are still snow free across the area. Other than a few snow showers on Monday evening, the area is expected to stay snow free over the next week. The weather pattern becomes more favorable for snow between December 15th and the 26th. The cold air that has been bottled up in Canada will drift south and the pattern will become active which gives us an above normal chance for precipitation. Historically, Toledo has a 57% chance of a white Christmas. At this point it is tough to predict if we will have a coat of white on the ground Christmas morning, but all signs are suggesting that 57% chance may be a good bet for this season as well. So another words, the odds are a little better than a coin flip at this stage in the game.

As great as this year's LSU baseball team has been, still sporting a 39-6 overall record after losing two of three to South Carolina, it can't lay claim to the longest winning streak in the program's history. That distinction still belongs to the 2008 Tigers, who rose from the dead to win 23 straight contests through the heart of the SEC schedule.
Michael Hollander was a third baseman on that squad, agreeing to move from short stop to accommodate talented freshman DJ LeMahieu. After failing to reach the College World Series his first three years at LSU, Hollander and the Tigers finally tasted Omaha in '08. And, he homered in his first CWS at bat.
"My dad likes to bring it up. He cherishes that moment," Hollander said. "I think back on it now and then. When I'm not having a great day, it helps me out. It was the highlight of my baseball career, the highlight of my life so far."
That leadoff shot against the North Carolina Tarheels gave LSU a quick 1-0 lead and certainly had fans believing the Tiger magic would lead to a national title. Historic Rosenblatt Stadium was packed with 22,239 fans at that moment, many roaring in approval as the ball soared into the left field bleachers.
"It happened so fast. I go back to crossing home plate, thinking, 'We're gonna win this thing.'"
Unfortunately, they didn't. The Tarheels would rally to defeat LSU 8-4 in that contest, before eventually eliminating the Tigers from the CWS 7-3 two games later. Still, the memories of that incredible season during head coach Paul Mainieri's second as the Tigers' head coach resonate strongly. After a very mediocre, yet honestly overachieving 29-26-1 record in Mainieri's debut season (the coach would later reflect he thought the Tigers might go 15-41 after fall ball), things weren't looking so great that next year either. On April 20, 2008, LSU sat with a 23-16-1 overall record and a rough 6-11-1 mark in the SEC.
"We had high hopes of reaching Omaha, like every LSU team should. We had some clutch hitters, a never lose attitude. No matter how many runs we were down, we felt we could come back," Hollander said.
Hollander would become a 20th round draft pick by the Texas Rangers, playing minor league ball in places like Spokane, WA and Hickory, NC. Like many LSU Tigers before him, Hollander quickly learned the greatest experiences of his baseball career were likely behind him.
"Minor league ball is grueling. There are nine-hour bus rides. You don't actually have a home. It really feels like you're living out of a bag. You're talking maybe 1,200 people in low A-ball and if it rains, you can forget it. You're done, maybe 200 folks sticking around," he recalled.
Booze apparently is the only way to truly draw fans, according to Hollander.
"If it's 'Thirsty Thursday,' you can get 4,500 to show. It doesn't matter if you're winning or losing. That's the only way people come to the park. It's completely different (from LSU). You can't compare the two experiences," he explained.
And, you couldn't compare the team camaraderie either.
"The one big thing for me, I always liked the team aspect of playing for a school. I had that at Jesuit High School. It was what we were taught. The age old, the name in front of the jersey is more important than the name on the back. That's the way it was at LSU. It's not that way in the minor leagues. You're for yourself, trying to reach the big leagues, then it becomes a team sport again. I didn't have the talent to get there and I knew that," he said.
But, Hollander's "Plan B" is coming together quite well. He's two-and-a-half years through law school at LSU, with just one semester to go.
"The first year was tough. Second year is a little easier and the third year is a piece of cake. It's obviously not baseball. I miss it. When studies get tough, I wish I was still playing," he said.
Hollander hopes to eventually work for Deutsch, Kerrigan, & Stiles law firm in New Orleans, practicing defense work of some kind. But, one form has already been ruled out.
"I don't want to practice criminal defense. I love Hillar Moore and I've talked to him, but I don't want any security guards at my house. No thanks," Hollander added.
He is much more interested in embracing the younger sister of former LSU baseball star Mikie Mahtook. He's been dating Catherine Mahtook for quite some time and is obviously enjoying the relationship much more than his time in the minors.
"She comes from a great family and she's just great. I love her. That's right, I said it on camera," he said smiling.
And, the LSU baseball family still loves Michael Hollander. Now, let's pass that Bar Exam.

The state of Gentoo
I just published an article over at LWN called "The state of Gentoo." In it, I talk about Gentoo's progress over the past few years as well as its current problems, how they're affecting Gentoo's user and developer communities, and how to begin fixing them.
I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from our developers on the article so I'm confident that it's generally a fair representation of where things stand today. However, Alex Legler (a3li) kindly told me our security team does much more behind the scenes to report vulnerabilities and get updated packages stabilized, even if we don't see the results in the form of GLSAs.
A vote for me is a vote for action
I'm running for the Gentoo council this year, and I wanted to post my "platform" here: who I am, why I'm running, how I see the council, and how I see Gentoo.
For anyone newer, I'd like to first introduce myself and my history with Gentoo. Over the past 8 years, I've spent time doing pretty much everything in Gentoo, from maintaining ebuilds to writing documentation and leading teams and projects. I've been a recruiter in devrel, served as desktop manager (back when we had top-level project managers, before GLEP 39), and later chaired the council. I also started the clustering team, led X11 maintenance for about 5 years (when I designed the modular X eclass and wrote all 400+ new modular packages as we transitioned from the old XFree86), spent a term as a foundation trustee, and acted as project manager for our ever-controversial GUI installer.
One of my primary roles at the moment is running our participation in the Google Summer of Code, one of our major sources of both income and new developers. Since I took over 3 years ago, we've more than doubled the size of our program (we have 15 students this year!) and greatly increased the proportion of students who eventually become Gentoo devs to roughly 67%.
At this point, I'm convinced I can make the biggest difference to Gentoo in two ways: focusing on specific projects like the git transition and improved eclass testing rather than ebuild maintenance (which we have tons of people doing), and leading Gentoo to greatness as a council member, where I'm in the best position to accomplish that goal.
On my last two terms as a council member, I was extremely active in council-related issues both on mailing lists and at meetings, rather than just showing up at meetings to vote and then disappearing into the sunset. I strongly believe that through preparation and accountability, we can have a more productive council, but this requires a true commitment on the part of every member.
Creating a great community
I see this as an area where the council can set direction for all of Gentoo, both through the positive examples of its members and by taking a stand against anything we won't stand for in our community. The council should be providing guidance to devrel and userrel on what kinds of behaviors should be encouraged and what kinds shouldn't be tolerated.
Additionally, we should begin collecting metrics on our community so we know where we're going. Many other projects (and even distributions) do this already, to give them clues of when things are going wrong, what things are going right, etc.
Making progress now instead of waiting years for perfection
There's a lot of ongoing projects and GLEPs that have been dragging on for years because people want a "perfect" solution. One personal example is the git transition, where I've already made this mistake in spending quite a bit of time trying to get a perfect repository layout working when we could have just done a simple conversion of the whole tree and put it in one repo (the current plan, with some changes).
GLEP 55 is another one. There are some times when any decision is better than no decision.
Removing bureaucracy in favor of more agile development & meritocracy
We all know that GLEP 39 needs some changes. I think that most devs just want to Get Stuff Done without fighting with policies, waiting around forever for votes, not getting majorities without any clear direction, and so forth. I believe that our devs vote in the council because they want those people in charge and trust the council members to do what they think is right, including deciding on changes to GLEP 39 to improve how we run things.
I favor a switch to a smaller group more along the lines of the Linux kernel, with a very small leadership core and more of a hierarchy than a huge committee.
Along the same lines, I favor a switch to a more meritocratic approach such as the lead appointments we've been discussing recently. Gentoo isn't a country government that needs to provide for every sick and needy person in its geography; it's a nonprofit with specific goals it needs to accomplish and should be run as such. In general, companies, including nonprofits, don't have checks and balances or long, drawn-out votes. What they do have is a board of trustees at the top, which can replace the leadership when it deems necessary.
Another major problem is the lack of continuity in our leadership, mainly because the whole group is re-elected en masse every year. At a minimum, even if we can't do the above changes, we should switch to a 2-year term and have half the council up for election each year so new councils can start out quickly.
Promoting innovation from individual developers instead of expecting it to all come from the top
As I mentioned above, one of my focuses now is working on interesting standalone projects. I hope that every developer does the same; in addition, or besides whatever you do every day (maintain ebuilds, write/translate docs, etc.), consider starting a new project that has a clear end in sight and that will help Gentoo get better. It doesn't have to be anything big; and the great thing about projects with a finite length is that you actually finish them at some point.
Getting rid of policies that were created for a single incident, because they should only exist for patterns of repeated problems
A common problem in Gentoo is feeling like a one-time problem can't be fixed without making a big policy about it, why it can't be done, what will happen if it's done again, etc. If you've been around Gentoo for a while and start reading through our developer docs, you'll be able to connect a specific name and instance with pretty much every line that says something like "Don't do stupid thing X" and "Don't do ridiculous thing Y."
I think part of this is rooted in a fear, for lack of a better word, to take personal responsibility for an action; instead, people want a rulebook to point at and say "That's wrong" so the rulebook is the bad guy.
But rulebooks should only be for the common cases, the patterns, the problems that keep coming up over and over. One-time problems only deserve one-time solutions.
Bash shell-scripting libraries
One of the most powerful aspects of popular high-level languages is the existence of a comprehensive standard library. Unfortunately, the most popular Linux shell, bash, lacks a full-featured library bundled with it. A number of people have written libraries to compensate for this lack, which can make your life infinitely easier if you need to write complex bash scripts. Here are links to all the bash/shell-scripting libraries and collections I'm aware of:
- Marco's Bash Functions Library (mbfl)
- Bash Shell Function Library (bsfl)
- Bashinator: Bash Shell Script Framework (by our own wschlich)
- shesfw: shell script framework tool
- Wicked Cool Shell Scripts library (from the book)
- UNIX Power Tools library (from the book)
- Portable Shell Programming (from the book)
- Learning the bash shell (from the book)
- Bash Cookbook (from the book)
- Classic Shell Scripting (from the book)
- shunit2: A unit-test framework
- log4sh: A flexible logging framework
- libbash: Enables creation of dynamic-like shared libraries
- bashworks: Framework depending on bash-4 or newer
- bfw: Bash FrameWork (Harvard Neuroinformatics)
- rerun: Turns loose shell scripts into modular automation
It was a real pain to come up with this whole list, so hopefully it's useful to some of you. In future posts, I'm thinking of reviewing these libraries in more depth and comparing them to equivalent functionality in Python, my other language of choice. My goal is not to have functionality re-implemented in shell script to replace basic tools like head/tail, but instead to discover or create (if necessary) a library using the full suite of standard UNIX tools to provide a fun and convenient experience for shell scripters.
Update (2013/07/08): Added rerun.
Update: Fixed a couple of broken links (bashworks and Portable Shell).
The DOs and DON'Ts of Google Summer of Code: Student Edition
I'd like to point any potential Google Summer of Code applicants to a post on DOs and DON'Ts for students over on the Google Open Source blog that I wrote with Lydia Pintscher and Kevin Smith. They're fellow admins from two other long-time GSoC participants, KDE and the XMPP Standards Foundation. Here's a quick summary of the points; you'll have to read the original post for details:
|Be on your best behavior.
|Make a bad first impression: SMS speech, extremely poor English, rudeness/hostility, etc.
|Read all the documentation, so you submit a useful application.
|Submit a useless application.
|Be transparent about other commitments.
|Make Google Summer of Code your top priority.
|Hold another major commitment.
|Be realistic about your skills.
|Over- or under-rate your abilities.
|Commit and publicize your code frequently.
|Make last-minute (or later) code drops.
|Submit code that's ready to integrate.
|Finish the summer with code that's "almost ready" but will take forever to ship.
|Complete your project design before writing a line of code.
|Start coding before finalizing design.
|Use your resources wisely.
|Refuse to ask for help.
|Remember that you're part of a community.
|Consider it a solo project, like it often is in college.
Gentoo & X.Org in the Google Summer of Code!
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is an amazing program for college students that enables them to spend their summers working with open-source projects. Google chips in the money, and FOSS projects provide the mentorship and expertise. In the end, we benefit by gaining both new code and (more importantly) new developers.
I'm very excited this year because both Gentoo and X.Org were accepted for their 6th years in GSoC! Last year, Gentoo had 19 students working on diverse projects including webapps, package management, NetworkManager, the Dracut initrd framework, and more. X.Org, a more specialized project, had 5 students working on various aspects of open-source graphics.
If you're a college student, I'd like to encourage you to apply for GSoC, whether it's to Gentoo, X.Org, or another project altogether. It's great real-world experience where you can prove your expertise to future employers (since the code is freely available), and you can become the world's expert in your topic. The money doesn't hurt, either.
To get more info, go to the Gentoo or X.Org GSoC homepages and check out the project ideas. If none of them strike your fancy, propose your own! We love original ideas, but please discuss them with us first to ensure they'll be realistic and high-priority.
A different take on the Banshee/Canonical conflict
The latest drama sweeping across the open-source world is Canonical's decision to redirect affiliate profits from music bought in the Banshee music player from 100% GNOME to a 25%/75% split (with Canonical receiving the majority). Nearly everyone has come out against this, but I disagree with parts of their argument. Also, everything I've seen has involved verbal wrist-slapping instead of concrete action, so I'm going to propose some possibilities.
"Open source" doesn't mean "open source until someone makes a change you don't like." The whole premise of open source is that anyone can make any changes they want, they have the freedom to fork, and nothing restricts their actions besides copyright. Do we have a right to be angry at people who take advantage of the freedoms we've offered them? I don't think so, but I see where people could disagree.
But what options does that leave anyone who wants to change the situation? Here's a couple:
- Banshee has a trademark; enforce it. Make Ubuntu change the name of its music player to something else. This would involve talking to lawyers and definitely takes this confrontation to the next level. If Banshee doesn't already have legal contacts, its developers might contact the GNOME Foundation and work through them, or get in touch with SFLC or another legal team of their choice. If you want your code used in Ubuntu, maybe the name change is enough. But you'll obviously lose the name recognition.
- Banshee developers could treat Ubuntu as an unsupported configuration and refuse to work with affected users. For this to have any chance of working well for Banshee, it must require its developers to consistently place the blame on Canonical every time problems get reported, to preserve Banshee's reputation. However, if you don't support Ubuntu or its users, remember that most bugs aren't specific to Ubuntu so you're also hurting yourself. Furthermore, this could provoke Canonical to drop Banshee altogether and switch to a different player. I'd expect Canonical's decisions to be based on a combination of usability, access to upstream support, and revenue, so its choices will likely try to find a balance of those factors.
- Banshee developers could use rational approaches to convince Canonical its existing terms are inconsistent with the broader software world. OpenSUSE community manager Jos Poortvliet made a great point: "Even Apple doesn't take more than a 30% cut from people who ship applications through their App Store." However, this is the next level beyond that; Apple's recent move to take a 30% cut of subscriptions, books, etc sold via App Store applications is far more equivalent. And this move, even by Apple, is seen as largely negative, but they're staying the course much like Canonical. If I were Canonical, I'd ask myself how much my users love me compared to how much Apple users love Apple, and adjust my portion of the Banshee revenue accordingly.
I favor the third approach, but you should always keep in mind the best alternative to negotiation, so everyone on both sides of the conflict knows what will happen if negotiation fails.
7 problems GSoC admins encounter
At the always-excellent Mentor Summit for the Google Summer of Code, I ran a session titled "Best Practices for GSoC Admins." Many of these practices appear specific to a program like GSoC at first glance, but they easily transfer to recruiting new contributors outside GSoC; just imagine the same ideas with less process behind them. Here I want to share the main points of our session and expand upon some of them in the hopes that it can help future GSoC admins and other people interested in recruiting new developers.
We focused primarily on the biggest problems we face as admins. Intriguingly, although perhaps 30 people attended, nearly all the problems were universal (fortunately, some groups had already solved them!). The only exception to their universal nature was that smaller organizations seemed not to require the same level of progress tracking, because missing/poor progress quickly became obvious to everyone in a small group.
Here are the top problems, with suggested solutions:
- Tracking progress. Require weekly updates from both students and mentors. This means admins don't need to personally track every student or ensure the mentor is around. Blogs or wiki pages ("journals") work for many projects, although some have issues with blogs. A key point is to offload work to mentors so they tell you whether students are on track. Keep a spreadsheet (possibly public for tracking and shame?) to stay on top of things, because it's easy to lose track after a few weeks.
- Knowing student skills. Model the type of things they would do during GSoC on a smaller scale. Require a patch during the application period to prove they can build and modify your software. Additionally, require that students interact with your community so you can consider how (and whether) they will fit in.
- Avoiding failure. Check in with students at "quarter points" — halfway between the start and the midterm, and halfway between the midterm and the final. This leaves time to fix any show-stopping problems before they guarantee failure. During the application period, get a calendar of when both students and mentors will be gone so you can take this into account. Investigate problems early to avoid failure instead of waiting until it's inevitable. In the case of conflicts between students and mentors, admins can act as neutral mediator — make sure everyone knows this when the summer starts so they don't feel helpless. Some students communicate poorly (grad-school model of independent work), so try to catch this early and push them. Are there non-binary solutions, ways to do something besides just pass or fail? Can we withhold T-shirts, pay less money based on final "grade", increase number of payments, pay late, etc.
- Disappearing/lazy mentors. One major problem here is figuring out what motivates mentors: what are the incentives and punishments? The most common response to unacceptable mentoring was blocking that person from any future mentoring. Is that enough? Nobody knows; it seems to be mostly an after-the-fact solution that may not fix things during the summer.
- Inexperienced mentors. Pair new mentors with experienced mentors and/or backup mentors. Admins should offer to be "mentor-mentors," teaching the beginners how it's done.
- Increasing the number of proposals. Two student audiences exist: those familiar with your project and those who discover it through GSoC. For the first, target non-accepted students from previous years (Reject gently!). Publicize GSoC internally on your mailing lists, websites, etc. For the second, publicize your project in blogs, to college profs, etc. Have a good ideas list (where good means fun and exciting, so students apply to your project). Increase the time between org acceptance and student deadline so students have time to discover exciting organizations and ideas. Have more flexible ideas that give students some ownership (they must expand upon them!).
- Improving the quality of proposals. A high-quality application template is key. Problem: at least one organization saw a correlation between adding a template and getting fewer proposals. Could applying be made a two-step process, so that the template is displayed after a student commits to applying to a specific organization? Require a timeline in the proposal to ensure they understand project details at a level sufficient to code them, but allow it to flex once coding starts. Ask specific questions to gauge both understanding and enthusiasm. Do live interviews by IRC or phone, possibly with live coding.
If you have any suggestions for these problems, or more problems you've encountered, please let me know in the comments!
Linux problems you never considered: Handling Fortran90 modules for multiple compilers
One of the strangest areas of Linux packaging is scientific software. Often it's written by non-programmers, it has an ad-hoc, handwritten or poorly maintained build system, and it uses unusual features of strange languages (like Fortran, the topic of this post). I've given talks on how upstreams should package scientific software in the past, but this post touches on a different issue: how distributions should handle one of the stranger aspects of Fortran packages.
The rough equivalent of libraries in Fortran90 is modules. One major problem, however, is that modules ("libraries") are stored differently and change for each compiler+version used to build the package. For example, modules built using GCC's gfortran and Intel's ifort are entirely incompatible; even gfortran 4.3 and 4.4 are not expected to play nicely together.
This becomes a problem for people who care about performance, or people who develop Fortran programs, because these people need to have modules available for many different compilers. Initially, you might think we should store Fortran modules in directories reflecting this diversity. Running `gcc -print-file-name=finclude` on recent GCC versions prints the location where GCC installs its own Fortran modules: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.3/finclude on my system. So you could imagine a series of directories like /usr/lib/$COMPILER/$VERSION/finclude/ where Fortran modules end up for each compiler.
But the problem arises when you consider how packaging actually works: you only get one simultaneous installation of each package+version. That means you can't easily install modules for three different compiler+version combinations at once. For each module set, you need to rebuild the package for a new compiler and reinstall the package; this means you uninstall the old modules built for the other compiler.
Three possible solutions occurred to me:
- Litter modules by making the package forget it installed them. In this scenario, you would rebuild a package multiple times with different compilers, and the modules would get left behind in a compiler-specific directory like /usr/lib/$COMPILER/$VERSION/finclude/.
- Create a mechanism for switching between the same package version built by a different compiler. This might work by creating binary packages for module-installing packages, then storing them in directories like /usr/portage/packages/$COMPILER/$VERSION/. A switching script could examine these directories and switch between them on-demand by installing those packages using Gentoo's PKGDIR setting. Using package-specific settings in /etc/portage/env/ to know when to create binaries by setting FEATURES=buildpkg, then adding a late hook to copy the binpkgs to the compiler-specific package directory, might be one route to this.
- Build the same package version with many compilers at once, then bundle it in a single package and install modules for all of them. This would work similarly to Gentoo's experimental multi-ABI support (available in some overlays), which rebuilds a package numerous times for 32-bit or 64-bit within a single ebuild. This approach has two major downsides: (1) It requires explicit support to be written into every ebuild using it, and (2) a change to just one version of one compiler requires rebuilding the package for every compiler+version.
I'm leaning toward approach 2, which looks relatively easy and quick to support, with the benefit of feeling much cleaner than approach 1 and easier to implement & faster in action than approach 3. With approach 2, only one module directory is required rather than compiler-specific directories. A reasonably compiler-neutral location for Fortran modules would be /usr/$LIBDIR/finclude/, so that's what I propose to use.
If you have any other ideas or think a different option is better, please let me know in the comments.

"The Hype Cycle describes the way that new technologies and projects are perceived over time, if they do a good job of handling themselves, going from a technology trigger, inflated expectations, disillusionment, enlightenment, before arriving at "the plateau of productivity" – a state where there is no more hype and the new technology is simply a normal part of our lives."
The perception over the past few years that Gentoo is dying is in reality Gentoo's arrival at the plateau of productivity. Hype has gone away and remaining is a distribution with a true niche that fits into the broader Linux ecosystem.

Similarly, you need to quickly build the same level of trust with our community. Do you have the tools it takes to hack into the code? and do you know how to use them? When a contributor uploads a patch to our mailing list or to our tracker (preferred, but to make sure you get noticed please post a link on the mailing list too) he builds instantaneously the same level of trust that the unknown cab driver builds with every new customer: he implicitly shows that he has the tools (hardware, operating system, internet connection, coding environment, repository access) and that he can use them for basic operations.

Pittsburgh Catholic Bishop David Zubik Friday joined a growing segment of religious leaders speaking out against the Obama administration's new law that requires religious employers to offer health plans covering free contraceptives.
In an open letter titled " To Hell With You," Zubik today characterized some of the mandates in the administration's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as a "slap in the face" and an attack on religious freedom.
Zubik specifcally refers to guidelines that require all individual and group health insurance plans, including self-insured plans, to cover FDA-approved contraception, sterilization procedures and pharmaceuticals "that even result in abortion," Zubik writes.
"The Obama administration has just told the Catholics of the United States, " To Hell with you!" There is no other way to put it," Zubik wrote in the letter posted on the Pittsburgh Diocese website.
The church opposes contraception and pharmaceuticals such as the "morning-after" pill.
Under the law, Zubik believes many Catholic institutions would be affected, including local , nursing homes and hospitals.
Zubik writes:
Practically speaking under the proposed mandate there would be no "religious exemption" for Catholic hospitals universities, colleges, nursing homes and numerous Catholic social service agencies such as Catholic Charities. It could easily be determined that the "religious exemption" would not apply as well to Catholic high , elementary schools and Catholic parishes since many employ non-Catholics and serve both students and, through social outreach, many who do not share Catholic religious beliefs. Such a narrow "religious exemption" is simply unprecedented in federal law.
Zubik's letter urges to contact their local political leaders and lists several names and numbers for the White House, Pennsylvania Congressmen and Senators.
What do you think about the new mandates in the health plan? Tell us in the comments.

When we asked Karen whether she had any final thoughts to include in her post, she wanted to thank her "mum" for always bargain hunting while growing up. "It has become the blood of my life. Nothing beats turning one man's trash into another man's treasure. Making something out of (apparently) nothing is brilliant, and vintage is like my version of crack." Karen is making her "crack" into a career, with her unique insight and creativity of how she dresses on her blog, Where Did U Get That?. The idea came from her curiosity about what other people were wearing and having no inhibitions to ask. It's somewhat serendipitous that I am writing this post after just returning from a trip to London, shooting for SLU. She possesses that certain unpretentious, not taking herself too seriously, fun with clothes that I was loving while there. I remember leaving Karen's shoot inspired to wear LONG dresses for summer, whether sequins, prints – "old lady" or "old hippie." Like Karen, I tend to obsess. When she told me the story of running to a DSW in Manhattan, when she heard they had a certain Balenciaga shoe. And then jumping on a train, right then and there (when she found out they didn't have her size) to a Long Island DSW, I knew we were comrades. She said "the clouds parted like a movie" when she found them. Karen has found fulfillment in her committment to addressing "the hole", in her on line diary, that we all might feel when we get trapped into "buying for buying sake." Today, she says it is about "feeling what you are wearing," and her message is making an impact.
If you like Karen, you might also enjoy Byrdie Bell and Maggie Godwin.

POLL: Gauging Cub Swanson's Options After UFC Fight Night 44Posted on June 29, 2014, 02:17 PM by Mike Drahota
After dismantling tough No. 11-ranked Jeremy Stephens in the main event of last night's (Sat., June 28, 2014) UFC Fight Night 44 from the AT & T Center in San Antonio, Texas, No. 4-ranked featherweight Cub Swanson has an impressive six-fight win streak intact.
Taking a year off to recover from an elbow injury after knocking out Dennis Siver at UFC 162 in July 2013, the Jackson's MMA product has looked unstoppable since losing his UFC debut to former title challenger Ricardo Lamas.
It's hard to deny that the WEC veteran deserves his long-awaited title shot. With the belt set to be defended soon when champion Jose Aldo rematches No. 1 contender Chad Mendes at UFC 176 on August 2, the timing could be right for Swanson to potentially get his coveted rematch with Aldo.
But this is the UFC, and nothing is guaranteed. The returning Chan Sung Jung has called out for a bout with Swanson, and he could always seek revenge on Lamas. In fact, there are a bevy of exciting possibilities for him. Who do you think he should face off with next?

- 1. Winner of Aldo vs. Mendes II

I wanna see Cub fight for a title now... He deserves a rematch. He got a great winning streak and the guys he beat and how he beat them should give him the next shot.. Period!
SpaceJamSharp7Funny | 0Weak | 0Cool | 0
Jung and Lamas both do not deserve the Cub fight. What happen to earning the title shot?? Cub has clearly earned it and no way in hell should someone who just lost to Aldo get a second chance so soon. Back to the bottom of the line you go. Just like Mendez did.

gLOVE wrote:My DW and I started a few years ago with some mild films (instructional type) and we would watch them together and kind of "follow along" with what was going on. About 6 months ago on a "horny" night, we went into an adult XXX store and bought 3 porn DVD's with anticipation of watching them together. Since then we have only watched the videos maybe 3 or 4 times.
The reason for my post is, the few times we watched the porn we had amazing sexual experiences. We basically imitated what we saw on screen and of course the sights and sounds were extremely arousing during our love session. All that to say, lately each time I suggest it to my DW she is kind of drawn back from it and says she feels guilty for watching it. I understand what she is saying but if both of us mutally watch together only and both of us get off on it together then is there really a big deal. Should I convince her that it is ok or is it truly wrong to watch it period even if it is together.
gLOVE wrote:Is watching porn with your wife ok??
gLOVE wrote: I thought that since it was mutual and neither of us had to have it or was watching it outside of when we were together then it was ok. Then my DW started questioning if it was right, now I am questioning the same thing.
gLOVE wrote: Thanks for response I will remove them today to avoid any future issues.
gLOVE wrote:I guess we could make our own movies to enjoy watching together!!
gLOVE wrote:DVD porn is gone!! Had a harder time getting rid of it than I thought! Shredded 2 of them and decided to keep 1 for "just in case". DW told me that I'm just having a hard time accepting that I don't "need" them. Next day it was gone!! Saturday night we ML and it was intense!! I think God was blessing our MB for our choices.
All that to say, wife is open to video camera hooked to TV with no recording. She said if she decides to make a video she wants to make sure we have the lighting and position of camera right....I mentioned that I just wanted to make sure "our" positions were right!! She said "they are always right!!" Love was TMB is doing in my MB!

This interesting fanshot uses some intriguing language regarding the signing of Jason Kendall:
"Once again, Mellinger gets it right. The negative uproar is as unnecessary as the overpraising of some potentially great pick-up would be (e.g. pulling off a trade for, say, Geovany Soto, would've been). On traditionally built teams, a weak bat at catcher would be tolerated if the traditional power positions were producing. The problem is the traditional positions, to which Mellinger alludes. In his words: "The Royals have much bigger issues." - TL
The operative term in the above quote is "negative uproar". It is indeed fair to say that the Kendall signing has caused just that, in these and other quarters. Why? For followers of this website, the answer to this question is fairly obvious: there does not seem to be an objectively reasonable basis for the signing. Or, to put it different way, (1) Kendall's numbers suck, (2) they don't seem to be getting better, and (3) we're getting tired of the Royals' management's "gut instincts"--personified by GMDM, and which seem to be the only explanation for the disregard of (1) and (2)-- being consistently off the mark.
Or, to put it yet a different way, Dayton Moore's subjectivity is getting old, and it ain't working.
The philosophers among us will recognize this distinction (i.e., the distinction between the objective and the subjective) to be a problem that dates back to the pissing matches between Plato and Aristotle. Plato saw truth as the wavy image on a cave wall. Aristotle said: get out of your cave and go look at the world. These two schools of truth have caused some "negative uproars" over the past 2300 years, and, you could argue that the dynamic tension between these two schools have led to some good old fashioned burnings at the stake as well. Now that's a Negative Uproar.
Are we just a bunch of Moore-haters or Kendall-haters around here? I say no. For one thing, we love poetry, and everybody knows that poets want the best out life for all, even for certain gritty slow guys who last were fleet of foot when tech stocks were fun to buy. More important, bile-mongering should not be confused with merely seeking an objective basis for important decisions. That, my friends, is the heart of the matter.
The throughline for negative uproars is this: there appears to be a strong, objective basis for evaluating baseball decisions, and the Royals all too often ignore that basis, or haven't yet fully explained what the alternative basis for their decisions might be. Absent a reasonable explanation (and, obviously, merely calling something a "process" is not "reasonable"), the Royals can expect nothing but Negative Uproars in the wake of their moves, especially among those who have moved beyond a Pony League understanding of baseball.
Get out of the cave Dayton: there is a big, Objective world out there!
Until then, we will continue to hold your feet to the fire.

Two young adult male kittys need a new home. We rescued them at a fire a few weeks ago and I was called by the vet last week that they could now leave. We paid for their shots and to be fixed and their little burns fixed but I can't keep them. I have enough saved animals as it is and my crew isn't happy with the new additions. Anyone need to firehouse cats that think they are puppies? Please let me know. Thank you

The roads are clear for the morning commute in the Portland metro area, but there are still plenty of school closures and delays to speak of in other parts of Oregon.FOX 12 meteorologists expect a rainy morning, with wind picking up around noon Wednesday, and then the strongest rain arriving around 10 p.m.Ahead of Wednesday, the Portland Bureau of Transportation warned that the National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for snow from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. for the north Willamette Valley in Oregon and the Interstate 5 corridor in southwest Washington. The National Weather Service said a few locations toward eastern Clark County could see two or three inches of snow overnight.But FOX 12 meteorologists said sticking snow was unlikely in the lowlands of the metro area.

- Gel electrophoresis is used to separate molecules on the basis of their size.
- Smaller molecules travel farther than larger ones.
- Because DNA has a net negative charge, it travels through the gel when an electrical field is applied.
September 18–20
- PCR amplifies a specific section of a DNA molecule, producing billions of copies of each molecule in the original sample.
- Each cycle doubles the number of copies of the target DNA section.
- Mutant males are used in the first generation of cross 2.
September 11–13
- Mitochondria and chloroplasts have many copies of their genomes in each cell, so those genes will be much more abundant in the sample.
- DNA barcoding is less subjective than classical taxonomy.
