Raspberry Pi Gets Fully Open-Source Graphics Stack

The popular budget-friendly Raspberry Pi ARM development board now has a fully open-source graphics stack -- the user-space graphics drivers for the Broadcom VideoCore included!
Since July of this year I had been
exclusively hinting that a major open-source announcement was coming
... In that article for the clued Phoronix readers it was made sort of apparent it was about ARM graphics drivers and the Raspberry Pi. Well, today, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is finally able to announce they have a fully open-source graphics driver stack for their low-cost development board!
Up to this point there has only been an open-source kernel module for tapping the Broadcom VideoCore found on the $25~35 USD computer boards, but now the user-space can finally be opened up and the developers have already tosses the user-space Pi code onto
. "This repository contains the source code for the ARM side libraries used on Raspberry Pi. These typically are installed in /opt/vc/lib and includes source for the ARM side code to interface to: EGL, mmal, GLESv2, vcos, openmaxil, vchiq_arm, bcm_host, WFC, OpenVG."
The primary graphics APIs for the low-power Raspberry Pi are OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenVG, EGL and OpenMAX IL. The BCM2835 SoC used by the Raspberry Pi has a VideoCore IV graphics processor. The opened up user-space bits exposes all of these interfaces.
Alex Bradbury, the lead Linux developer at the Raspberry Pi Foundation,
about this accomplishment. "The BCM2835 used in the Raspberry Pi is the first ARM-based multimedia SoC with fully-functional, vendor-provided (as opposed to partial, reverse engineered) fully open-source drivers, and that Broadcom is the first vendor to open their mobile GPU drivers up in this way."
Their user-space bits unfortunately aren't based around the Mesa/Gallium3D architecture, although it's possible they could now be ported to such a driver thanks to the fully open-source code-base. With the opened up user-space, the kernel driver also stands a chance of being accepted into the mainline Linux kernel tree.
Up to this point graphics kernel drivers that rely exclusively upon closed-source user-spaces haven't been accepted since there's many troubles to having a kernel who's only "user" is a binary blob, but that's now changed for the Raspberry Pi. The only bit that's not opened up is the microcode/firmware, which still must be loaded at boot, but still that's nothing different than how the AMD Radeon driver functions along with some other GPUs.
Nice job to the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Broadcom. Hopefully other vendors will be following soon... We did hear that
Samsung may open up more of their Exynos SoC
. We also know that
NVIDIA will be opening up some of their Tegra graphics documentation
for at least the 2D side. Meanwhile there still is various reverse-engineering of ARM graphics cores like
the Lima driver
for ARM Mali graphics and the
Freedreno driver
for Qualcomm Snapdragon graphics.

President Obama: Nelson Mandela "Freed Not Just the Prisoner, But the Jailer As Well"
Tens of thousands gathered at the FNP Stadium in Soweto near Johannesburg today for a memorial to honor Nelson Mandela, who died last week at the age of 95. Nearly 100 heads of state traveled to South Africa for the memorial, including President Obama and Cuban President Raúl Castro. Mandela's body will then lie in state for three days at the Union Buildings in Pretoria, where he was sworn in as president in 1994. He will be buried on Sunday in Qunu, his ancestral home. We begin our coverage of the memorial with President Obama's address. "It took a man like Madiba to free not just the prisoner, but the jailer as well," Obama said. "While I will always fall short of Madiba's example, he makes me want to be a better man."
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff: Mandela Gave World "An Unmatched Example of Humanism"
At today's memorial for Nelson Mandela in Johannesburg, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff was among the foreign leaders to honor the former South African president and anti-apartheid leader. "He also was a source of inspiration for similar struggles in Brazil and across South America," Rousseff said. "His fight reached way beyond his nation's border and inspired young men and women to fight for independence and social justice."
Cuba's Raúl Castro Praises Nelson Mandela's "Unwavering Dedication to the Revolutionary Struggle"
Cuban President Raúl Castro was among the speakers at today's memorial to Nelson Mandela. In an unprecedented exchange, President Obama shook Castro's hand as he made his way to speak at the podium. "Let us pay tribute to Nelson Mandela," Castro said. "The ultimate symbol of dignity and unwavering dedication to the revolutionary struggle, to freedom and justice, a prophet of unity, peace and reconciliation. As Mandela's life teaches us, only the concerted effort of all nations will empower humanity to respond to the enormous challenges that today threatens its very existence." We also air a video clip of the 1991 meeting between Mandela and Fidel Castro in Cuba.
Desmond Tutu's Lively Tribute to Nelson Mandela: "He Gave Us an Incredible Gift"
Former archbishop of Cape Town and Nobel Peace Prize-winner Desmond Tutu attended today's memorial for Nelson Mandela, but did not speak. But he led a lively tribute Monday evening to honor his close friend. After the fall of apartheid, Tutu headed the country's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. He is now 82 years old. The intimate gathering where Tutu spoke in Johannesburg was hosted by the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
"A Pan-Africanist Hero": Nelson Mandela Remembered by African Union Commission Chairwoman
African Union Commission Chairwoman Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, the first woman to lead the organization, spoke at the memorial service for Nelson Mandela. She is a former anti-apartheid activist who served as South Africa's minister of health from 1994 to 1999 under President Mandela. She recalled how Mandela was part of a broader Pan-African struggle for independence. "Wherever he went on our continent, doors were opened, he got military training, and he got support for the struggle," she said.
Poet Maya Angelou's Tribute to Nelson Mandela: We Lift Our Tearful Voices to Say 'Thank You'
We end our special coverage of the Nelson Mandela memorial with a video message delivered by the renowned poet and author Dr. Maya Angelou in his memory. They first met in 1962 before he was imprisoned. "Yes, Mandela's day is done," Angelou said. "Yet we, his inheritors, will open the gates wider for reconciliation. And we will respond generously to the cries of blacks and whites, Asians, Hispanics, the poor who live piteously on the floor of our planet."

Shares of Timken Co. (NYSE: TKR) are higher Tuesday after Relational Investors and California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS), which together own 7.31 percent of the company, urged the separation of Timken's steel and bearings businesses to unlock significant value for all shareholders.
Among the main points contained in their letter to the Board are:
Among the main points contained in their letter to the Board are:
- A Separation Will Enable a Fundamental Change To Valuation: The Company trades at a steep discount due to the widely divergent characteristics of its businesses, and a separation of the Steel business would fundamentally change the way the businesses are valued by the market.
- A Separation Will Increase Management And Investor Focus: The Company will be able to optimally manage each business independently, leading to more efficient capital allocation and the potential to trade at multiples near the high end of their peer range.
- Spin-Off Transactions Have Created Substantial Value For Shareholder's In The Past:
- Timken's closest bearings peer, SKF, separated its steel business and returned 59% vs. Timken's return of 10% over the same period.
- Marathon Oil separated its refining operations and the stock returned 40% compared to only 10% for the S&P 500 Energy Index over that time period.
- Now Is The Optimal Time To Separate The Businesses: The costs of a sub-optimal business mix compound over time, so now is the time to focus on optimally managing each independent business.
- Separation Should Not Be Disruptive To Timken and the Community: A separation should not meaningfully disrupt the Canton community or Timken's employees. The Timken name and Canton headquarters can and should survive with both businesses operating as independent entities.
- The Timken Company Has A History Of Poor Corporate Governance: The Timken Family holds 3 of 11 Board seats; the $9M compensation received by executive Chairman Ward Timken, Jr., is grossly out of line with other executive chairmen in Timken's peer group; the Company's pay-for-performance scheme received a "D" rating in 2012 by Glass Lewis, a prominent independent proxy advisory service; and the Board has consistently demonstrated its unwillingness to seriously consider strategies to increase shareholder value.
"Our sum-of-the-parts valuation suggests a $69 target price ($52 + $17). However, given the disparate nature of the assets and investors' preference for pure plays, we believe that an above-average conglomerate discount is likely required to entice investors. Assuming a 20% discount to the sum-of-the-parts valuation yields a price target of $55/share. A case could be made for a narrowing of the conglomerate discount if the management signaled a potential separation."
"Our sum of the parts... suggests a valuation closer to $55, but we agree that the market is unlikely to properly reward either the steel or the bearing business for the secular improvements they have made as long as these businesses remain combined,"

It's been a slow, painful process, almost like a divorce, but finally Barclays' separation from the London Metal Exchange is nearing completion.
But having said it plans to exit most of its global
commodities businesses, the UK bank still can't
quite take off its copper wedding band. Barclays will continue
index activity on the LME, sources familiar with the situation
say, and will remain a category II member of the exchange.
Presumably index activity refers to the bank's
structured products desk and its S&P commodity index
business. And presumably it will take a decision on its LME
membership once the dust settles, either keeping it so it can
clear but staying relatively inactive otherwise, or dropping
out entirely down the line. The ambiguity allows the

A month after proposing a 2.32 percent tax levy increase, the City of Waukesha recently finalized its 2013 budget and saw that percentage decrease to a 0.42 percent increase in the tax levy.
In total, the tax levy for 2013 is $51.68 million. It was $51.47 million in 2012.
The city's general fund budget for 2013 is $59.37 million compared to $58.04 million in 2012.
After having a tax rate of $9.55 in 2012, it is $9.63 for 2013.
City Administrator Ed Henschel said the significant change in the 2013 budget is that the city will phase out its internal printing and outsourcing most print functions.
The Town of Waukesha also recently approved a budget with a tax rate of $1.88 per thousand dollars.
This compares to $1.66 in 2012.
The town's 2013 tax levy is 0.3 percent higher than the 2012 levy.

Shepparton celebrates motor mueseum's birthday
Shepparton Motor Museum has celebrated its second birthday in style, with hundreds of visitors enjoying a massive display of classic cars.JENNA BISHOP February 17, 2014 4:10am
Children were enthralled by the loud noises as blower engines roared on performance cars, while others enjoyed the more sedate collection of classic cars at the Shepparton Motor Museum.
More than 250 classic, vintage and unique cars and motorbikes were on display yesterday for the museum's second birthday.
An interactive trailer with race simulators from Shannons Insurance drew a crowd, as did motor racing superstar Jim Richards, seven-time winner of the Bathurst 1000.
Museum curator Graeme Balfour said it had been a fantastic day, with more than 2000 people visiting the collection of classic and eclectic cars.
''The response has been fantastic — even the other Emerald Bank traders have said they've had a good day, selling out of some of their lines,'' he said. ''It's good to see people out and about, enjoying a nice, sunny day.
''We're very thankful for the general public that came out and we're already looking forward to a bigger and better event next year.''
Mr Balfour said inclement weather earlier in the weekend meant the outdoors display had to be shifted from the museum's new rear outdoor area, but the cramped conditions hadn't affected the celebrations.
Shepparton's Graham Tidd and his intricately restored 1928 Model A Ford pickup were among the hundreds of exhibitor vehicles on display at the show.
Mr Tidd said more than four years and 8000 hours of manpower had gone into the restoration of the Ford.
''I purchased it in 1973 and put it away until I retired, so I'd have a project to work on,'' he said.
Formerly a mechanic, Mr Tidd rebuilt the vintage car from the ground up, although he had to outsource the custom chrome-work and upholstery.
Mr Tidd said his enjoyment of restoring cars came from a passion for completely rebuilding something passed down from older generations.
''They're like a jigsaw puzzle — you've got 1000 pieces and you've got to put them all together. You've got to sit and do it, you can't give up,'' he said.
''You've got to have a break and get back to it.''
He is also in the process of restoring a 1951 Morris Minor for his wife.
''She wanted something with wind-up windows and a tin roof,'' Mr Tidd said.
Several best-vehicle trophies went to local entrants, including Bill King for special efforts, Lou Thomson for a 1949 Bentley, Lou Tuckett for a 1925 Hupmobile and Kyabram's Lisa Ratcliffe.

All regulated facilities within the zone are requested to capture information from persons gaining access to the facility and report to the Sector the numbers that have enrolled, that have a TWIC in their possession, and that will require a TWIC but have not yet applied. Note: One should expect to see similar assessments undertaken in other Sectors as the TWIC activation dates approach.

NEW YORK — Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. on Tuesday announced a rebalancing of the Nasdaq-100 Index next month that will significantly reduce Apple Inc.'s weighting in the index.
The Nasdaq-100 Index is made up of the 100 largest non-financial stocks listed on the Nasdaq stock market. It is one of the most widely watched market indexes, used as a barometer for the growth of large-cap U.S. stocks, with a weighting toward technology companies.
The index is tracked by mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The rebalancing, which takes effect May 2, means that fund managers will have to shift their holdings to reflect the new weighting.
That will have a drastically cut the influence Apple's stock has on the index. The Cupertino, Calif., company currently accounts for 20 percent of the index, far more than its market capitalization would suggest when compared to other technology heavyweights like Microsoft Corp., at 3.4 percent, and Cisco Systems Inc., at 1.6 percent.
The rebalancing will reduce Apple's share of the index to 12 percent, and increase Microsoft's share to 8 percent. In morning trading, Apple shares slipped 28 cents to $340.91 after trading as low as $336 earlier in the session. Microsoft's shares gained 42 cents, or 1.6 percent, to $25.97.
The imbalance is due to Apple's skyrocketing shares. The company was worth about $10 per share in December 1998, when the weightings in the Nasdaq-100 were last adjusted.
Nasdaq OMX, the operator of the Nasdaq stock market, said the rebalancing will bring the weights of the companies in the index closer in line with their actual market capitalizations.
Sector weights will stay in the same relative order and magnitude, Nasdaq said.
Other tech companies that will see their weightings in the index more than double include Intel Corp., Oracle Corp. and Dell Inc. Their stocks rose on Tuesday morning.
Apart from Apple, companies that will lose much of their weighting include Starbucks Corp. and Intuit Inc. Both stocks were down Tuesday morning.
"The special rebalance reflects our commitment to ensure the Nasdaq-100 Index remains a relevant benchmark for investors around the world who track the performance of the U.S. equity market," John Jacobs, executive vice president, Nasdaq OMX Global Index Group, said in a statement.

Japan exports growth slows sharply, keeps pressure on BOJ to act
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan suffered its worst annual trade deficit in March as exports growth slowed to its weakest in a year, suggesting a rapid loss of economic momentum that may prompt policy makers into early action as a national sales tax hike puts more strain on growth.
The Bank of Japan has repeatedly ruled out fresh easing measures in the near term, insisting that the economy is on track to meet its 2 percent inflation target even as recent soft data hit investor confidence.
However, the double-whammy of weak external demand and a chill in domestic consumption from the April 1 sales tax hike to 8 percent from 5 percent might add pressures on the BOJ to act sooner rather than later.
"If sluggish exports persist and domestic demand slumps more than expected in April and May, the Bank of Japan could ease policy further as early as in June or July," said Naoki Iizuka, economist at Citigroup Global Markets Japan
The slowdown in China, a major export market for Japan, is another blow for the world's third-biggest economy. Ministry of Finance data showed that exports rose 1.8 percent in March from a year earlier, the slowest since March last year, following a 9.8 percent annual gain in the previous month. That was well below a 6.3 percent increase expected by economists in a Reuters poll.
Worryingly, shipments to China rose an annual 4.3 percent in March, a marked slowdown from a 27.6 percent annual increase in February. Moreover, U.S.-bound shipments grew a modest 3.5 percent, the slowest annual gain since December 2012 when they fell 0.8 percent.
The weak external shipments helped push Japan's trade deficit to a record 13.75 trillion yen ($134.45 billion) for the fiscal year that ended in March, further undermining the balance of payment position.
In volume terms, shipments fell 2.5 percent in March from a year earlier, underscoring the struggles of the export sector as a weaker yen has boosted import costs more than export income.
The huge increase in imports of fossil fuels to offset the shuttering of nuclear plants after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami have helped to bump up the trade deficit. The ongoing shift in Japanese manufacturing plants to overseas centres have also tempered the benefits of a weaker yen on the export sector.
Policymakers are counting on exports - a key driver of the Japanese economy - to help cushion any slide in domestic demand after the sales tax rise.
The signs are not good, though. The latest data joins a recent string of soft economic reports including capital spending and private consumption, which have kept alive expectations for the BOJ to add to last April's intense burst of monetary stimulus.
"It's hard to expect export growth will offset the impact of the sales tax hike on domestic demand, and the economy is likely to stagnate in the summer," said Takeshi Minami, chief economist at Norinchukin Research Institute, echoing market expectations for additional BOJ stimulus in July when it reviews its twice-yearly economic outlook.
After speeding past many of its developed country peers in the first half of last year, Japans' economy has slowed in recent quarters as the effects of Tokyo's aggressive stimulus faded. Concerns of a deeper pullback have hit investor confidence and the stock market this year.
However, both the government and the BOJ have indicated their willingness to look past a temporary dip in growth, saying the economy is on track to escape years of deflation and tepid growth.
Policymakers and economists expect the economy to contract in the current quarter due to the sales tax rise, and see a return to moderate growth in the following quarters.
Japan's government cut its overall economic view for the first time since 2012 due to pullback in demand after the tax hike. But it saw no need for more stimulus, saying that the economy was on track for a moderate recovery. The central bank cut its view on exports in March, saying they were levelling off due in part to slack demand from Asia.
On Monday, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said that export will start picking up from now on as global economy recovers, echoing the view of the central bank.
The BOJ will hold its next policy review on April 30, when it will also issue new long-term economic and price forecasts in its twice-yearly outlook report.
The MOF data showed imports grew 18.1 percent in the year to March, boosted by elevated import costs of fuel due to a weak yen and the last-minute demand before the April 1 tax hike.
That compared with a 16.2 percent annual gain forecast by economists and followed a 9.0 percent rise in the previous month.
The country's trade balance stood at a deficit of 1.446 trillion yen in March, after a record trade gap of 2.79 trillion yen in January. That marked a record 21-month run of deficits.

More trouble for Southern celebrity chef Paula Deen as QVC is now rethinking its relationship with her. This comes after the Food Network dropped her over usage of fallout from the usage of the n-word.
A rep for QVC told TMZ that they have "concerns [over] the unfortunate Paula Deen situation … Please know that QVC does not tolerate discriminatory behavior."
Her deals with Target and Walmart could also be in jeopardy in the coming days. Paula Deen has surrounded herself with a bunch of morons for PR personnel. They bungled her "apology" and their ineptitude kept this scandal going and going. Added to the fact that she should have settled the lawsuit brought by former manager Lisa Jackson rather trying to fight it out. She can't win. She's the one with more at stake and a lot to lose.

The Icelandic people have spoken and the message could not be clearer. Despite the threat of their country becoming a pariah in international credit markets, the weekend's referendum result shows that Iceland's population is simply not prepared to repay the £3.4bn owed to British and Dutch taxpayers on the terms agreed by their own government last year.
The history is well established. When Iceland's banks collapsed in the credit meltdown of 2008, the Icelandic authorities lacked sufficient funds to compensate the UK and Dutch citizens who had invested their savings in the online lender Icesave. British and Dutch taxpayers therefore stepped in with £3.4bn to compensate these savers. Icelanders unquestionably owe Britain and the Netherlands a debt for that intervention.
Yet the objection of most Icelanders is not to repayment, but the terms. What they resent is the agreement by their government last year to pay 5.5 per cent annual interest on that £3.4bn. Their resentment is justified. It is important to remember that £3.4bn represents 50 per cent of Iceland's GDP. Iceland, with its 320,000 population, is simply too small to bear such costs without severe economic pain for years to come.
There is no issue of moral hazard here. The Icelandic economy contracted by 6.5 per cent in 2009 and will shrink further this year. Unemployment has hit 9 per cent. The value of the krona has fallen by 50 per cent against the euro, sending the cost of imports soaring. Icelanders have learnt their lesson of what happens when banks are allowed to rampage.
Of course, sympathy should not be overdone. Icelanders did very well in the years of the banking boom, when living standards soared. And there was a gross political failure of regulation, too. The former Icelandic government gave free rein to its banks to snap up vast assets abroad financed by irresponsible levels of borrowing. It is galling to see Iceland's right-wing opposition – which was responsible for presiding over that boom and bust when in office – now leading a populist revolt against the terms of repayment.
But some empathy is in order. Iceland's bankers, not its population, were to blame for the financial meltdown. How would we react if some of Britain's large international banks collapsed, leaving ordinary savers in, for example, the Far East out of pocket, and taxpayers here forced to pay back the money at a punitive rate of interest?
The £3.4bn does need to be repaid. But we should be flexible and moderate in the terms and timing. One option that should be explored is writing off the debt in return for claims on the assets of the stricken Icelandic banks.
But despite the result of the weekend's referendum, the mood among Iceland's creditors still seems to be punitive. The Dutch government has suggested that Iceland's bid to enter the European Union could be jeopardised by its resistance. Our own government is playing hard ball too, blocking Iceland's International Monetary Fund loans until a deal is reached.
Such crass bullying should end. Policymakers need to arrive at a fair settlement that takes into consideration Iceland's already painful economic circumstances and its practical ability to repay. They also urgently need to turn their attention to the underlying causes of this debacle: an insufficiently regulated and inadequately insured cross-border banking system.

TV Squad Lost Podcast: Live Together, Die Alone
So how was that for a finale? Man, I don't know about you, but I needed an oxygen mask after that episode. It's ironic that last week's episode was named Three minutes when the craziest shock of the season seemed to come in the last three minutes of this episode. Last week I joked that with all the hype surrounding it, Live Together, Die Alone was co-written by God. Well, that may have been true, ...
The last Lost chat of the season!
This is it folks. The second season finale of Lost. This episode has been getting quite a bit of buzz about it. I'm pretty sure it's co-written by God the way that those who have seen it talk about it. At least one big shock has been given away if you pay real close attention to the commercials. Don't be caught off-guard! Make sure you you join me here tonight so that you can voice your own opinio...
This is it, chat live during the last American Idol competition show of the season
Who would have guessed at the beginning of the season that it would have come down to Katharine and Taylor? Many people tagged Taylor as a sure thing early on, but I doubt many would have expected young Ms. McPhee to make it this far. Come join me and the rest of the American Idol fanatics tonight as we chat live during the show. As with all of our chats, you must have AIM or a compatible chat cli...
Jack's time is up! Chat live during the season finale of 24!
This is it folks-- there's only two hellacious hours left in this 5th horribly trying day for our hero Jack Bauer. Will he make it through alive? Don't get too cocky and say "Yes Ryan, don't be dumb, he just signed on for three more seasons." That doesn't mean we won't see some bad day from Jack's past. It would certainly be a simple way of bringing back some of the characters that have left us th...
TV Squad Lost Podcast: Three Minutes
C.K. and I return for the second to last episode of the season (and possibly our second to last podcast ever!) Three minutes. This one dealt with Micheal's time with the others and it felt very much like "the calm before the storm." Everyone's been hyping up next week's finale so much that I'm pretty sure that God was a co-writer on it. We'll have to wait and see, in the meantime, listen in on our...
Chat live as we find out what Michael's deal is on Lost (seriously this time)
Ok, so I screwed up last week and said that it was a Michael-centric episode and we got some answers. Turns out last week was more about Mr. Eko, and we only got more questions. Well, tonight is definitely a Michael episode, and we definitely learn more about him and Walt. Make sure you you join me here tonight so that you can voice your own opinion. As with all of our chats, you need to have AIM ...
Sure Chris is gone, but you can still chat about the rest of the American Idols
Here's the thing, I haven't heard one person not convey at least some form of total shock over last week's dismissal of Chris from the show. Most of the time those sentiments are quickly followed up with "I'm never gonna watch the show again" or "Did you hear about how the phone numbers were screwed up?" or "There's no one worthy on there anymore." You know what though? There has been such a...

Both were heartbreakingly perfect. Between this and the absolute perfection that was The Office's finale, this is the season for love ... or mistakes and heartbreak; it all depends on how you look at it. As finale...
Chat live as the clock winds down for Jack Bauer
Two episodes and three hours, that's all that stands in the way of Jack and a much deserved nap. Join me and all the other 24 fanatics as we chat live along with the show tonight. Don't forget to the get to the room early so you can get your Jack "kill-count" guesses in. As with all of our chats, you must have AIM or a compatible client. Once you have that, make sure you check back to this very po...
Chat live during Lost as we find out what Michael's deal is
Whoa, I'm not sure about you, but after last week's episode I felt physically exhausted. That's the kind of Lost I'm talking about. The rumors are we're actually going to be getting some answers tonight as it's a Michael-centric episode and his flashback will deal with his time with The Others. Make sure you you join me here tonight so that you can voice your own opinion. As with all of our chats,...

No big bad news in Constantine budget proposal
King County Executive Dow Constantine proposes a 2014 budget with no layoffs, no big spending.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Public meetings
The County Council has scheduled four meetings to hear from the public about the budget before it votes:
• 6:30 p.m. Oct. 1 at Bellevue City Hall, City Council Chambers, 450 110th Ave. N.E., Bellevue;
• 6:30 p.m. Oct. 8 at Maleng Regional Justice Center, Courtroom 3F, 401 Fourth Ave. N., Kent;
• 6:30 p.m. Oct. 16, Si View Community Center, 400 S.E. Orchard Drive, North Bend; and
• 6:30 p.m. Oct. 22, King County Courthouse, County Council Chambers, 10th floor, 516 Third Ave., Seattle.
King County Executive Dow Constantine doesn't have the money for big, exciting initiatives in the 2014 budget he will present Monday.
But it is largely a budget devoid of bad news, with no significant layoffs for the first time in six years. It also restores some cuts the county made during the worst years of the economic downturn. Constantine proposes reopening the Maple Valley Precinct of the King County Sheriff's Office and restoring lunchtime hours at county courthouses.
The proposed 2014 budget is 4 percent bigger than this year's, returning the general fund to what it was in 2008 after several years of decline.
In addition to fees it collects for services, the county relies on sales and property taxes for most of its general-fund money. Both types of taxes took sharp dives during the economic downturn. This year, the money is rebounding. But while across the street Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn is proposing a series of feel-good initiatives in his budget, Constantine's budget is subdued.
His 11 a.m. budget speech to the Metropolitan King County Council will highlight how parts of the county have saved money by finding more efficient ways to do business, a program called Lean Management.
The budget acknowledges that the county's revenue is not keeping up with expected costs in the long term. That means the county will have to keep making cuts or find new sources of money in coming years.

I don't know about you but I'm sick and tired of making lovely skirt only to find out after the fact that I used sheer or somewhat see through fabric. Hence the half slip. I did a simple elastic cased waist band, and the real work was creating all the tiny strips of ruching at the bottom, and carefully finishing the edges of each side so I wouldn't have many loose threads.

Underwater park DNA samples Please Help me
I found 2 different DNA samples in an underwater DNA expedition, and one of them was a super special event dino DNA. I was just wondering if one of the samples was deleted because I found the second one before I could decode the first.
Answer from: Kiwi_Shane
If you go to your underwater park and go to the dino section of your market, you should see all the ones you have purchased and black outlines of ones you need to discover, there should also be two pictures of dna samples that say "decode" underneath, you can't tell which is which though, but I guess the second one is the one most recently found.
