I either found the culprit of the xruns, or I found the *main* one. But
I have a question...I noticed that the xruns were every 20 seconds. So I went to KDE Control
Center -> Power Control -> Laptop Battery... and changed "Check status
every: 20sec" to "Check status every: 1sec". I started Qjackctl... and
as suspected... there was one xrun per second. I couldn't shut off
"Battery Polling" in KDE Control Center, so I set it to a ridiculously
high number and the "regular" xruns stopped.I wanted to completely shut off "Battery Polling", and I was under the
impression that this was controlled by "apm". So I set it back to "1
second polling" and went to System -> Services and disabled "apmd". That
didn't effect the nibbling at the hard drive every second, but it
stopped creating an xrun every second. Although there still were
"regular" xruns.Does anyone have any idea how to disable "Battery Polling"?

Japan Deals With Disaster's Aftermath
Updated from 4:58 p.m. EST with latest information.
TOKYO ( TheStreet) -- Japan continued to struggle Friday to find missing people and stabilize conditions around two nuclear plants following the most massive earthquake to ever hit the country.
Japan Rocked by Earthquake: In Pictures |
The country was hit by two earthquakes with the initial one's 8.9 magnitude unleashing an estimated 30-foot tsunami and setting off fires across the northeastern coast. The death toll has risen to above 1,000, according to reports, and hundreds are still unaccounted for. A second 6.6 magnitude quake rocked the country later in the day.
The Japanese Defense Ministry recently reported that at least 1,800 homes have been destroyed.
A large dam burst in Fukushima, a prefecture north of Tokyo, CNN reported, citing Kyodo news agency, after a tsunami caused massive flooding along the coasts. The possibility of a radioactive leak at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in that same region caused local authorities to call for the evacuation of the area's nearly 3,000 residents Friday morning. According to the Wall Street Journal, worries were growing about the nuclear plants as radiation levels tested 1,000 times above normal in the control room of one reactor. The article, citing Japan's Kyodo News, said officials have asked people living within six miles of that particular plant to evacuate. "It's possible that radioactive material in the reactor vessel could leak outside but the amount is expected to be small and the wind blowing toward the sea will be considered," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told reporters at a news conference. "We want people to be calm," he added. Tremors from the quake blew out the cooling systems at two major nuclear reactors at Tokyo Electric Power's Fukushima Daiichi power plant about 160 miles north of Tokyo and the Tohoku Electric Power facility in Onagawa. The government said both power plants are "bracing for the worst." The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor "remains at a high temperature" because it "cannot cool down," Edano said. The quake, which struck about 2:46 p.m. local time, was felt in Tokyo, hundreds of kilometers away, where buildings shook violently and tens of thousands of residents evacuated their homes. Aftershocks continued throughout Friday. CNBC reported 30 or more quakes of 6.0 magnitude or greater were felt after the initial earthquake. A ship carrying 100 people off the coast of Japan was swept away by a tsunami following the massive quake, Reuters reported, citing the Kyodo news agency. Japanese police in Sendai, a large city closest to the epicenter of the quake, said up to 300 bodies have been found and another 88 people were confirmed killed, AP reported. Hundreds of people are still missing throughout the nation, prompting Google (GOOG) to launch the Person Finder: 2011 Japan Earthquake, a Web tool on Friday for listing and finding missing people in Japan. U.S. President Barack Obama said that the United States is ready to offer aid to Japan. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton vowed "immediate disaster relief assistance." The U.S. is "working closely with the government of Japan to provide additional help," according to a statement from the State Department. Two U.S. Navy ships were docked in Japan on Friday to help with relief efforts, and five more were on their way, CNN reported, citing sources in the Pentagon.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Ford Taurus/Mercury Sable Sedans Pre-2008
jdiaz2 Posts: 16I like the Duratec. Not the fastest engine out there, but has a nice honk above 3500rpm, gives 25 mpg in our wagon all day long, and hardly requires any attention on a regular basis. Definitely can't complain with the experience we've had with the engine (or our Taurus for that matter).

oxmead Posts: 79my 2000 sable wagon make this noise/vibration that kinda sound like a coffee can with nuts and bolts in it. it's done it since it was new,but not all the time. I can't make it do this , its completly random. It never does it when the car is anywhere near the dealer. I notice it mostly when driving with a very light foot, like driving along the side of a fast food drive up window or up ramps in a parking garage. I thought it might be some sort of heat shield or somthing, but I've looked every where under the car and cant find anything loose. has anyone else had this ? thanks
oxmead Posts: 79no, I got the duratec. It never makes the noise/vibration at over 20-25 mph and only for a few seconds. usually when acelerating very lightly from a stop or after the trans shifts to 2nd. It sounds like it's coming from under the car. It doesn't seem like it's engine related. I even thought it might be something in the exhaust. If I was sure , I'd have it changed.
1stmountie Posts: 13I just had the latest recall on the front end. When the car was returned to me I got a loud popping noise, which came from the front driver side. Looked over everthing and everything was tighten down. Noone including Ford can figure out what it is. Has anyone experienced this situation.
nvbanker Posts: 7,285If you can get under the dash on the driver's side, there may be a sticker you can see with a 5 digit code on it on a label stuck on a part there. If not, your dealer can give it to you from the vin number. Some of them will charge you to look it up - others will be nice and won't.
badgerfan Posts: 1,565My 2000 Taurus with Duratec did that as well when under warranty. The fix was to replace the entire overflow tank, which I assume also included the sensor. Since it was under warranty, I didn't question it much as I wasn't paying for anything.
The cost of replacement wouldn't have been all that much even if it had been past warranty, maybe $100-$150 max, but I don't recall exactly what the statement listed. -
vppc Posts: 58Hi, everyone!
I recently purchased a silver 2001 Ford Taurus SES! It has 57,000 miles on it. The body is in excellent condition, as well as the interior. This car came with power windows, locks, mirrors, and power driver's seat. It also has CD player and the bench seat option. The engine is the Vulcan V6 (which I feel is plentiful and pulls well).
The dealer put new brakes all the way around on this car, as well as had it serviced and lubed. They initially wanted $7,999, but I got it for $6,500! Did I get a great deal? The car runs GREAT!

jasmith52 Posts: 455Congratulations on purchasing a quality, late-model used car. You'll save many thousands by purchasing cars like this in the future over new cars. Drive it till it drops or Drive it for a few years and maybe sell it for a few thousand less than you paid for it. Try to do that with a new car and you'll get reemed !
As for your price, It looks pretty average to me. Every dealer will discount their cars over asking prices.
You can book out your car here on Edmunds if you really want to. -
shayelee Posts: 1Hi, Im new here. I have a 95 Mercury Sable V6 3.8L. It is one of the best cars I have owned, and is really reliable. Its got 115,000 miles on it thus far. My problem is with the heat. It started when the heat was on high, and the blow kicked to low, after hitting the dash the heat kicked back to high. Now the heat is on the low setting even when the dial is at high. I have replaced the blower motor, and the blower motor resistor. What do I do now?? Any Ideas?
Thanks, Shannon -
wkohler Posts: 74Good purchase! That year was probably the best of all for Taurus. After that year they started "decontenting" them (i.e. no glove box light, no double sunshade on passenger side, no shade band on windshield, etc). One thing I would make sure they did and that is to change the transmission fluid. If they can prove that was done, fine. If not, have it done soon, then every 30,000 miles or so.

moerod Posts: 7i have a 2001 sable with a tape deck/auto climate control. no cd changer by cd button of deck. i just purchased a factory changer from ebay, but do not know where it goes connected. i was told the car came prewired but i dont see any wires in the trunk. the cd changer did not come with wires, would i have tu purchase them, what would the be connected to?
Thanks -
wkohler Posts: 74The differences are purely cosmetic. Different headlight assy, grill, tail light, rear door design etc. Inside, a little flashier on the Sable with wood trim (fake) etc. All engine, drivetrain, brakes, etc are all the same. Sable may run a few dollars higher, but not much. Personally I like the Sable front end and the Taurus rear end. It's all a matter of personal preference one vs the other.
wkohler Posts: 74The amplifier, etc for your radio is in the trunk on the left hand side behind the trunk cover. If you didn't get a wiring harness with the changer, you'll need to get that. I don't have the trunk mounted changer, but understand it just plugs into the amplifier assy once you mount the changer in the trunk. My changer came factory installed in the center console.
dilbertzzz Posts: 190"feel" is entirely subjective. Have you checked the speedometer against any of those roadsides "Your Speed" radar signs? Or have you checked your odometer against at least 10 miles worth of highway mileage markers or driven a known distance to see if your odometer agrees. You'll need some concrete measurements before you can draw any conclusions.
626lx_4-ever Posts: 2On Christmas Eve, of all days, my wife's '96 Taurus sedan (V6 w/ ~140K miles) decided moving forwards was overrated -- the transmission would engage in reverse then drop out in neutral but failed to engage again (at least with any noticeable jolt) in any forward gear (D-1). (Yes, the FIRST thing I checked was the tranny fluid -- level, color and smell seemed okay.)
I managed to get it to limp forward briefly by putting it in "D" and revving the engine a bit while pushing the car manually, before giving up and calling for a tow.
Upon arrival at the shop, the tow-truck driver lowered the car and surprise, surprise -- it went into drive and pulled forward as nice as you please! The shop (NOT a tranny specialist but owned by a friend of a friend, who had recently done a major tune-up on the car) was unable to find anything wrong after a cursory inspection and a diagnostic they had done at a another garage also turned up nothing. The car then ran fine for a while...
Well, one fine Sunday morning less than two months later, my wife tries to run an errand and wouldn't you know, the Taurus has other ideas (i.e. no forward motion)...
The car is now at a transmission shop and they're telling me that it's an internal problem and I have two choices: ~$1200 repair w/ 90-day warranty; ~$1800 rebuild w/ 1 yr. / 12K mile warranty.
Any advice you knowledgeable folks may offer would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks! -
jasmith52 Posts: 455Transmission Problems Uggh !
well the cheapest thing you can do is go down to the auto parts store and buy a quart of Transmission solvent. Brands like Trans-X, there are others. Should cost around $5 to $10 bucks. Also think about changing the transmission fluid. This fix might buy you a few more months (or even years) before you have to spend some real money on your car.
The $1200 or $1800 fix are up to you. How long do you plan on keeping the car ??
Keep it in perspective. $1800 is alot of money but it's only about 5 months payment on a new car. So it may be alot cheaper to fix your present ride than get a new one. Also since you have 146k miles on the car didn't you ever expect to do some major repairs. -
vppc Posts: 58Hello, everyone!
I have now driven my 2001 Ford Taurus SES for almost a month now. My follow-up is that this car is great! It HANDLES well and has plenty of pull from the V6. The ride is very SOLID, yet the suspension is firm enough to handle road irregularities and handle the curves with ease. The factory CD system sounds GREAT and plays them all (even scratched) with no problems.
Now, of course there a few cons. For starters, I have a little bit of paint coming off the front bumper (my car is silver). It looks as if a little bit of clearcoat is coming off? This can't be noticed unless you are right in front of the car. Also, there is some belt under the hood that sometimes squeaks. Sometimes, when driving low speed it sounds like a bolt in a can coming from somewhere (usually only happens on rough pavement). It can only be heard if you are dead silent. And, the cigarette lighter when you push it in to let it light up, just FLYS out and onto the floor when it's ready! I just hold it from now on, but that shocked me!
As far as the cars performance, it meets all my needs and attains 22-24MPG mixed driving. I am about to take a 600-mile round trip and can't wait! This car is so comfortable and the power driver's seat is a plus!
So, I do recommend this car or the Mercury Sable for an awesome used car buy!
- Alex -
vppc Posts: 58Hello, everyone!
I quoted that there was a sound like a "bolt in a can" at low speed. Turns out it was just the antenna jiggling! YAY! It happened on rough/crappy roads and turning sharply up or downhill. So I twisted it a little bit and BAM!
I love this car!
- Alex
P.S. This car got 27MPG on the highway trip doing 70+ MPH! -
ohio7 Posts: 67Alex, we're all glad that you are impressed with your Taurus. I've had my 2000 SEL for almost five years in June and have been impressed still! I wish I had reason to drive it more, but I only have 27,000 on it.
When I go to my hometown in Cincinnati to visit once a year in April it is about 520 miles from Northern Virginia and I get around 30mph each year. I check it every year thinking that my math is wrong. I even had my all-knowing brother-in-law do the math and he was speechless (he drives a Grand Marquis).
I love when I go to Lowe's and buy long pieces of landscape wood and can easily put five of them all the way in the car and close the trunk because of those wonderful folding rear seats and folding the passenger seat all the way back. The boy loading was in awe. I drove away with a smile on my face. Who needs a mini-van!!

Reebok Insta Pump Fury 2010
When it comes to sneakers, no shoe can avoid the "update" treatment nowadays. The latest example is the Reebok Insta Pump Fury getting a New Age makeover as the Reebok Insta Pump Fury 2010 running shoe.
The original Reebok Insta Pump Fury (released in 1993) gained fans—and detractors—via a revolutionary form-meets-function design that fully used the Reebok Pump tech to make shoelaces unnecessary. Also, the eye catching yellow, red and black OG colorway always got the wearer noticed. Can't see your feet getting too hot with all the ventilation in the this new version which also sports a new mid and outsole.

Julia's Jelly Belly- Part 1Julia looked down at herself in the mirror of her bedroom, before trying on her school clothes for next year."Im never going to have abs again" She said to herself.Julia was your typical nerdy Asian girl, glasses, straight dark hair, and around medium height, which was tall for a chineese-american girl, but over the past few years that was starting to change.Her parents had always forced her to do gymnastics in her younger years, so she had always been on the smaller side, but now that she was 18, school became more important for her, and they had backed off on it. And it was starting to show.Her legs, once toned had begun to soften up, squishing when she sat down and her previously hard thighs had begun to wobble when she walked around in short shorts.Her arms and face had gotten more round as well, but the most noticeable change was in her midsection. Her once flat stomach which had a hint of a six pack was now soft and mushy, and hung over her jeans slightly when she bent over.
Julia's Jelly Belly- Part 2The next day, Julia got up, put her new uniform on, and headed to class, thinking about how the rest of the school would react to the updated clothing policy. As she sat down in her first class, she couldn't help but notice how the band of her skirt dug into her middle when she was sitting, so she pulled it down slightly to let her stomach rest on top of it. "Much better" she thought, wondering if anyone else had this problem, or if was just the weight she had put on during the year. During the day, Julia had done a good job of keeping her belly sucked in, none of her classmates had said anything, or noticed a difference in the way she looked.Eventually, she went to go find her friends from the math league at their usual table in the ice cream parlor across from the campus, but they weren't there today. "Oh- that's right" she remembered suddenly "the math league went across town for a competition today" as she got in the line. Julia had always made a point of not overly indulging her
Julia' Jelly Belly- Part 3Julia continued downstairs, making sure she had done everything else for the day and pulled off the shirt she was wearing to change into her bikini top. It was an unusually nice day that day, and the pool in her back yard seemed like a welcoming refreshment. Immediately she felt the top strain as she tied it around her back, her rolls of fat parting to make way for the material. It was snug against her now noticeably-larger breasts, and the bottoms were no exception either, having to suck her jiggling paunch in to get it around herself. "I guess this will have to do until I get a new one" she thought, having to look over the bulge of her stomach to see her toes when she looked down. Stepping outside, she noticed how incredibly hot it was in relation to her air-conditioned house. "I'd better get some sun screen, I haven't been out for a tan in months..." she said, walking back in to her house, and rummaging around in her cabinets for a bottle of
Julia's Jelly Belly Part 6.Still trying to remain calm from the incident with her jeans, Julia sat behind the restaurant table while the waiter walked over to give them the bill. "Have you ladies enjoyed everything so far?" The blonde boy asked, with a smile at both of them. "YES, Your pasta salads are the BOMB" Said Megan with a lean towards the waiter that almost certainly gave him a better view of her ample cleavage, allowing a few crumbs to fall from her hand into it as she wiped her mouth, as Julia smiled and rolled her eyes. "In that case I'll give you your… check, ah here it is" Said the boy, with every ounce of his willpower devoted to not stealing a glance at the smiling blonde's exposed rack. "That'd be great, thank you!" Julia said while shaking her head and laughing to herself, sparing the poor boy the awkwardness by giving him something else to turn his attention to. After paying their bill, Megan and Julia got up, and walked ba
Julia's Jelly Belly- Part 4Julia walked back into the house, feeling the cool of the air conditioning refresh her as she closed the door to the back yard. "Is it really 3:30 already?? I couldn't have been out there for that long..." she thought to herself as she dried her long black hair off and discarded the towel in the laundry room. After attempting to re-do most of her old swimming practice routines in her pool, she found herself considerably more tired than normal, after having put on more than a few pounds since she last attempted it. "Whoo. Okay. I can still do them. I.. just need to relax for a bit" she thought, feeling a minor sunburn on her back and arms, and decided to watch TV for a bit after making herself lunch. Pulling one of her old concert tees and a skirt over herself, she wandered into the kitchen. The shirt was from quite a few pounds ago, but it still managed to cover up all but the bottom of her squishy midsection. The fridge was still full due to her parents b
Her Royal Softness- Ch 1.The sun was setting on an amber-tinted evening in the capital city of Serenia, as its rays reached lazily through the gilded window of the noble's chambers. As she reached for another chocolate swirl, Evalani knew that she was starting to get chubby, but at this point, she didn't care. So far removed was she from her normal life in America, where she was a normal teenage girl from an upper-class upbringing, that nothing would surprise her much anymore. Her family had recently moved from the United States, where they were successful bankers back to their ancestral home which at the time they had fled from, as it was embroiled in a lengthy civil war. As she chewed apart the rich chocolate treat, she thought back to the story her father told her about recent events here, and why they had moved.The Serenian civil war had gone on for several years with neither side willing to give in, as the former dictator's government refused to give up power when it was time, ins
Julia's Jelly Belly- Part 5A few days later, her parents had returned home, and Julia was once again woken up by the buzz of her alarm clock, this time much later in the morning. "Ugh" she thought, "setting the damn thing for later doesn't make it any less annoying…", turning over and smashing the snooze button with an outstretched arm from her bed. She lifted herself out of bed on all fours and felt her breasts and belly wobble as they hung downward, a feeling she had gotten used to by now. Her bra and pajama shirt were of no help to stop this from happening, as her belly had long since burst the buttons on the latter when she had tried to squeeze herself into them. Discarding both into a hamper, she rifled through her wardrobe to find something to wear today. Today was the day that she and her friend Megan had agreed to go out to lunch, so she figured on wearing something that wasn't a wrinkled mess. Remembering how tight some of her other clothes had gotten, sh

International Insurance Compliance
All international students studying at USF are required to have adequate health insurance coverage at all times. You must submit the Student Health Insurance Agreement before the semester begins. If you fail to submit the form, you will have a registration hold on your account and not be able to sign up for classes.
Due to USF's winter break, Student Health Services will have limited hours of operation prior to the beginning of the spring 2015 semester. SHS strongly encourages you to complete any required paperwork prior to the first week of school so as to not delay your ability to register for classes.
Submit forms by fax, email, or online to ensure they arrive and are processed prior to the deadline of December 19, 2014.
To remove a SI hold for Spring 2015
- Click here to fill out the insurance agreement form
- Pay for coverage from the USF Student Medical Insurance Plan OR show proof of coverage from a plan you purchased independently that is equivalent to what is required by Florida state law (Florida Board of Governor's Regulation 6.009 and USF Regulation 6.0162).
To show proof of adequate coverage:
- Your insurance representative must complete the International Student Health Insurance Compliance Form
- You must return the form to the Student Insurance Office no later than the 5th day of class.
- Upload supporting documents here

Obama's (now delayed) trip to Indonesia: Can he make it an ally?
The Obama trip to Indonesia can build a bridge to the world's largest Muslim country, countering Al Qaeda-tied militants in Southeast Asia. It can also counter China's expansion in the region.
In this post-9/11 age, an American leader can hardly ignore a country with the highest Muslim population in the world. The global nature of militant Islam requires the US to build bridges to moderate Muslims. And Indonesia, a mainly Islamic nation of 240 million people that combats terrorists, is one place for such a bridge.
President Obama plans to fortify ties with the Southeast Asian country during an upcoming trip (the start was delayed to June so the White House can focus on healthcare legislation). It will be a homecoming of sorts. Mr. Obama spent a good part of his childhood on the country's main island of Java, a legacy that entitles him to be America's "first Pacific president."
But the visit will be mostly work. The world's third- and fourth-most populous countries want to upgrade ties, building on their close cooperation in countering Al Qaeda-linked groups such as Jemaah Islamiyah. These local militants can easily assist in suicide bombings abroad, although the ones in Indonesia have largely focused on Westerners there.
The US also has a stake in boosting Indonesia as a model of hope for Muslims living under authoritarian regimes. It is showing that Islam and democracy can coexist.

The Bon-Ton's CEO Presents At Goldman Sachs Nineteenth Global Retailing Conference (Transcript)
We need to do a better job speaking to her in her language not ours. Again I mentioned the Bon-Ton language we used. We have events that we – that mean something to us but not to the outside world. Capacity days was one of our biggest events of the season, yet I still don't know what a capacity day is and neither does the customer, particularly as we try and reach out to new customers that might be [different] franchise from other retailers.
We need to communicate with all of our customers. We were only communicating to about 25% of our active database. I think this is tremendously low-hanging fruit for us. Most retailers are out there buying other list to market to. We have our own internal list that we're only touching the surface on.
We obviously need to gain market share in order to reach these goals and for me capitalizing on the under $10 million doors is a big opportunity for us. These are markets where there is no Macy's. It's us and Kohl's and Penney's. And they don't have access to many of the same brands that we have access to where we're often the only place within 50 miles you can buy Estee Lauder, buy Nine West and buy Ralph Lauren. And I think we need to do a better job using that as an advantage to get people on the doors.
We need to clean up our message. We are going to embrace coupons. I learned at Lord & Taylor that customer response to the coupon is better than any other promotional deal. It really frames the discount for them and I think it's something we kind of were half using before. We're very clear now about our use of the coupons and how that's going to drive our overarching store events and also allow us to have longer, stronger events. We were getting too choppy with our stopping and starting different events as we constantly changed the message.
