This ensures the scheme continues without a glitch
Incessant rains and the escalating food prices may have forced district mid-day meals and anganwadi officials to write to higher authorities for larger funds, but Dakshina Kannada has bucked the trend, largely thanks to the Akshaya Butti (Basket) scheme.
Started one year ago in Akshara Dasoha scheme here, students in various government and government-aided schools are encouraged to get one vegetable each to the school. Officials here insist that the contribution is not mandatory.
"We ask them to get only what is home grown. Some bring one tomato, one papaya, and so on. This way, there are enough locally-generated vegetables for us to use, and we can ride out the price rise now," said Manjula K.L., Educational Officer, Akshara Dasoha.
A total of 2, 22,818 children, from Class I to X, across 1,426 government and government-aided schools in the district are served mid-day meals. From last year, the cost per unit has been set at Rs. 3.11 for primary schools, Rs. 4.65 for Higher Primary and Rs. 6.16 for high school.
In these, just 71 paisa, Rs. 1.06 and Rs. 1.06 are allocated respectively for vegetables.
With the prices of vegetables increasing during the monsoons, officials said the Akshaya Butti idea helps supplement the nutritional value of the sambhar.
"Dakshina Kannada is the only district to implement this for mid-day meals. And because the School Development and Monitoring Committee (SDMC) are more involved in this district, the idea has worked out very well," said Ms. Manjula, adding that with a rotation scheme in place where only one batch of students brings a vegetable on a given day, there is no financial burden on parents.
In the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) of the anganwadis — over 42,000 children aged between 3 and 6 attend anganwadis here — the Butti scheme that has been operational for the past two years has helped supplement the Rs. 4.6 unit cost per child per meal set by the government.
"We have set Rs. 3.5 to Rs. 4 for eggs for the severely malnourished, and with the rising price of eggs, this scale is strained. Vegetables also become expensive. But, getting children to bring any vegetable has helped offset this…in fact, children have taken it in a competitive spirit," said Sundar Poojary, Child Development Project Officer.
What also has helped the schemes to overcome the price hikes are the coconut trees and vegetable gardens planted in a large number of schools.

NEW YORK (AP) - Cornelio Velasquez escaped serious injury in a spill Thursday afternoon at Aqueduct before bouncing back to win the $64,000 allowance feature aboard Sinai.
Shaking off the spill, Velasquez later guided Sinai, the 9-5 second choice, to a 1 1/4-length victory over He's So Chic, the 6-5 favorite.
Pleasantfriday wasn't as fortunate. The injuries to her right foreleg were fatal.
Sinai, a gray 5-year-old trained by Rudy Rodriguez, ran the six-furlong race in 1:10.23 for his third win in 17 starts.
Sinai paid $5.90, $2.90 and $2.30. He's So Chic returned $2.60 and $2.10 while Dr Disco paid $2.70 to show.

Civilian Takes Down Suspect After Chase on Expressway 83
POSTED: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - 5:50pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - 6:31pm
WEST PALMVIEW - A high speed chase down Expressway 83 ends in a terrible crash. Department of Public Safety said a male driving a red Mitsubishi van was fleeing from law enforcement around 1:00 p.m.
But the chase didn't last long, because Palmview Police threw down spikes, trying to stop the fleeing vehicle. But the spikes just forced the driver to loose control and crash.
"We were inside eating lunch when all of a sudden we heard the skid marks, and we look, we turn outside and we just see a bunch of dirt and a car flying over the sky," said Juan Tellez, Tellez Motor Sports.
The red van slammed into two cars parked out front of Tellez Motor Sports. The impact pushed the parked blue vehicle into a telephone pole and up onto the hood of a red truck parked next to it.
The crash didn't stop the driver from trying to flee on foot.
"I saw a guy run and I decided to take matters into my own hand, I tackled him down, sure enough cops were right behind him, I think I believe it was Texas Rangers right behind him. They took him down and took myself down as well thinking I was a part of it," said Polo Zuniga, Tellez Motor Sports Customer.
The male driver ran because he had several bundles of what police believe to be marijuana in his vehicle.
Along with tackling the suspect, Zuniga is also the owner of the smashed blue car, but he said he was happy to help bring the suspect down.
"You see something bad happen and you think you can help, then help out, why not. Ya know materials can always get replaced but lives can't," said Zuniga.
Even though materials can be replaced, the owners of Tellez Motor Sports and Zuniga want to know who will be paying for all the damage.
"The red truck has a liability because we paid cash for it. But the car, I don't know if my customer has insurance," said Tellez.
Zuniga said he asked the police if they were responsible for paying.
"Palmview P.D. says they are not liable for anything. And they are the one's that threw down the spike strips and caused him to loose control," said Zuniga.
DPS said they are still investigating the incident. At this time they are not releasing any information about the driver, only that he is in custody and was taken to McAllen Medical Center after the accident for minor injuries.

Pad for as long as possible
If you're heading to the pool or the beach, but ya know that you're gonna be layin' out for a while before you jump in the water, don't be afraid to keep a thin pad on 'til you hit the waves. That way you won't have to worry while you're playing beach volleyball, and all you have to do is take a bathroom break to remove it (and pop in a tampon if necessary) really quickly before you get wet.
Keep track of time
The day before ya get wet 'n wild, pay attention to how heavy your flow is and how often you've gotta change out your tampon. Then the next day, whether you're layin' out, swimming laps or surfing, check the time every once in a while, and make a trip to the ladies' room if ya need it. But just so ya know, here's a sweet secret about swimming: Water pressure tends to put the brakes on your period for a bit. So if you're runnin' to the bathroom but find that the sitch isn't as dramatic as you thought, let a li'l more time lapse between breaks.
Doesn't hurt to double-check
Every time ya leave the ladies room, just take a quick peek to be sure that your tampon string is safely hidden by your bikini bottoms, since they don't provide quite as much cover as you'd normally have with shorts or pants. You definitely don't wanna go runnin' back to the waves with a string that might provoke questions from your BGF, so just take those extra few secs to avoid awkwardtown. Tip? You can always trim the string a li'l shorter to prevent it from slipping out.
Don't sweat the small stuff
At this time of the month, you may think that "period" is written all over your lovely face, but don't worry, sistah, because it's definitely not. Some gals get grouchy when their period rolls around, but no one said that you have to let it get ya down. If you act like your normal, fun self, nobody but you is gonna know that anything is goin' on. And if you pretend that everything's fine, you'll start really havin' fun and even fool yourself!

Anti-HIV Drugs In Pregnancy Not Linked to Children's Language Delays »

Epivir Side Effects Center
Medical Editor: John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Epivir (lamivudine) is used to treat HIV, which causes the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Lamivudine is not a cure for HIV or AIDS. The Epivir-HBV brand of lamivudine is used to treat chronic hepatitis B. Epivir-HBV should not be used in people who are infected with both hepatitis B and HIV. It is an antiviral medication. This medication is available in generic form. Common side effects include headache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, or trouble sleeping.
The recommended oral dose of Epivir in HIV-1-infected adults and adolescents over 16 years of age is 300 mg daily, administered as either 150 mg twice daily or 300 mg once daily, in combination with other antiretroviral agents. Epivir may interact with interferon-alfa, trimethoprim, or ribavirin. Tell your doctor all medications you use. During pregnancy, Epivir should be used only when prescribed. It is normal to prescribe HIV medicines for pregnant women with HIV. This has been shown to decrease the risk of giving HIV to the baby. This drug may be part of that treatment. Consult your doctor. This medication passes into breast milk. Because breast milk can transmit HIV, do not breast-feed.
Our Epivir (lamivudine) Side Effects Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information on the potential side effects when taking this medication.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What is Patient Information in Detail?
Easy-to-read and understand detailed drug information and pill images for the patient or caregiver from Cerner Multum.
Epivir in Detail - Patient Information: Side Effects
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
This medication may cause lactic acidosis (a build-up of lactic acid in the body, which can be fatal). Lactic acidosis can start slowly and get worse over time. Get emergency medical help if you have even mild symptoms of lactic acidosis, such as: muscle pain or weakness, numb or cold feeling in your arms and legs, trouble breathing, stomach pain, nausea with vomiting, fast or uneven heart rate, dizziness, or feeling very weak or tired.
Stop using lamivudine and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- signs of a new infection such as fever, chills, sore throat, flu symptoms, easy bruising or unusual bleeding, loss of appetite, mouth sores;
- severe pain in your upper stomach spreading to your back, nausea and vomiting, fast heart rate;
- nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);
- increased sweating, tremors in your hands, anxiety, feeling irritable, sleep problems (insomnia);
- diarrhea, unexplained weight loss, menstrual changes, impotence, loss of interest in sex;
- swelling in your neck or throat (enlarged thyroid);
- problems with walking, breathing, speech, swallowing, or eye movement; or
- severe lower back pain, loss of bladder or bowel control.
Less serious side effects may include:
- cough;
- headache;
- mild tired feeling;
- runny or stuffy nose;
- mild diarrhea; or
- changes in the shape or location of body fat (especially in your arms, legs, face, neck, breasts, and trunk).
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

What is Patient Information Overview?
A concise overview of the drug for the patient or caregiver from First DataBank.
Epivir Overview - Patient Information: Side Effects
Headache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, or trouble sleeping may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Some people may experience worsening of a previous medical condition (such as an old infection) as their immune systems improve, or develop new conditions because their immune systems have become overactive. This reaction may occur at any time (soon after starting HIV treatment or many months later). Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: unexplained weight loss, persistent muscle aches/weakness, joint pain, numbness/tingling of the hands/feet/arms/legs, severe tiredness, vision changes, severe/persistent headaches, signs of infection (such as fever, chills, trouble breathing, cough, non-healing skin sores), signs of an overactive thyroid (such as irritability, nervousness, heat intolerance, fast/pounding/irregular heartbeat, bulging eyes, unusual growth in the neck/thyroid known as a goiter), signs of a certain nerve problem known as Guillain-Barre Syndrome (such as difficulty breathing/swallowing/moving your eyes, drooping face, paralysis, slurred speech).
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: mental/mood changes (such as depression), stomach/back pain with nausea (pancreatitis).
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: easy bleeding/bruising, signs of anemia (unusual tiredness, rapid heartbeat, pale/bluish skin).
Changes in body fat (such as increased fat in the upper back and stomach areas, decreased fat in the arms and legs) may occur while you are taking HIV medication. The cause and long-term effects of these changes are unknown. Discuss the risks and benefits of therapy with your doctor, as well as the possible role of exercise to reduce this side effect.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Pancreatitis: Pancreatitis, which has been fatal in some cases, has been observed in antiretroviral nucleoside-experienced pediatric patients receiving EPIVIR (lamivudine) alone or in combination with other antiretroviral agents. In an open-label dose-escalation study (NUCA2002), 14 patients (14%) developed pancreatitis while receiving monotherapy with EPIVIR (lamivudine) . Three of these patients died of complications of pancreatitis. In a second open-label study (NUCA2005), 12 patients (18%) developed pancreatitis. In Study ACTG300, pancreatitis was not observed in 236 patients randomized to EPIVIR (lamivudine) plus RETROVIR. Pancreatitis was observed in 1 patient in this study who received open-label EPIVIR (lamivudine) in combination with RETROVIR and ritonavir following discontinuation of didanosine monotherapy [see WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS].
Paresthesias and Peripheral Neuropathies: Paresthesias and peripheral neuropathies were reported in 15 patients (15%) in Study NUCA2002, 6 patients (9%) in Study NUCA2005, and 2 patients ( < 1%) in Study ACTG300.
Selected laboratory abnormalities experienced by therapy-naive ( ≤ 56 days of antiretroviral therapy) pediatric patients are listed in Table 6.

Neonates - Clinical Trials in HIV-1: Limited short-term safety information is available from 2 small, uncontrolled studies in South Africa in neonates receiving lamivudine with or without zidovudine for the first week of life following maternal treatment starting at Week 38 or 36 of gestation [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. Selected adverse reactions reported in these neonates included increased liver function tests, anemia, diarrhea, electrolyte disturbances, hypoglycemia, jaundice and hepatomegaly, rash, respiratory infections, and sepsis; 3 neonates died (1 from gastroenteritis with acidosis and convulsions, 1 from traumatic injury, and 1 from unknown causes). Two other nonfatal gastroenteritis or diarrhea cases were reported, including 1 with convulsions; 1 infant had transient renal insufficiency associated with dehydration. The absence of control groups limits assessments of causality, but it should be assumed that perinatally exposed infants may be at risk for adverse reactions comparable to those reported in pediatric and adult HIV-1-infected patients treated with lamivudine-containing combination regimens. Long-term effects of in utero and infant lamivudine exposure are not known.
Postmarketing Experience
In addition to adverse reactions reported from clinical trials, the following adverse reactions have been reported during postmarketing use of EPIVIR (lamivudine) . Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, estimates of frequency cannot be made. These reactions have been chosen for inclusion due to a combination of their seriousness, frequency of reporting, or potential causal connection to lamivudine.
Body as a Whole: Redistribution/accumulation of body fat [see WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS].
Endocrine and Metabolic: Hyperglycemia.
General: Weakness.
Hemic and Lymphatic: Anemia (including pure red cell aplasia and severe anemias progressing on therapy).
Hepatic and Pancreatic: Lactic acidosis and hepatic steatosis, posttreatment exacerbation of hepatitis B [see Boxed Warning, WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS].
Hypersensitivity: Anaphylaxis, urticaria.
Musculoskeletal: Muscle weakness, CPK elevation, rhabdomyolysis.

One simple change can change Yasuos entire early game. Just let him use his dash on allied minions. A ton of champions can already do this. I understand that this will make him more mobile but people are saying he needs a buff anyway. This would be a buff that doesn't effect his damage output and increase his skill cap. Lemme know what ya think, don't vote No without a reason why please. Skewing the polls.
I just want him to be able to hold his cc longer, like if it would just degrade his flow if you hold it in.
I believe that he needs more testing before any drastic changes.

Noooooo. Having a 0 CD dash is a little much as it is. Being able to dash to any valid target is eeeeeeeeh.
No, because the only thing he needs is mr scaling. Even if they nerf his shield a bit to do it mr scaling would make him a million times more viable.
people are already complaining about lee dashing to ally minions and his has like a 9 second cooldown...

Myself & a friend stayed here on 2 x separate occasions for a couple of days last month. The Staff were all really helpful & friendly. The location was great - only a 2 min walk to La Mariscal. The rooms were basic but clean & the beds were comfy. The breakfast was really good & lots of it - cereal, scrambled eggs, toast, bread, juice, tea, coffee & hot chocolate. The only negative point is the taxi driver they recommend is not reliable at all & let us down twice from the airport. I would not us

For me it's subtitles all the way. And not even just for anime. The only things that should be allowed to be dubbed are shows/films for very young children who may find it difficult or impossible to read the subtitles.

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowThe owners and executive chef (Michael Altman) of nearby Town Kitchen & Bar succeed at Smoke"t using the same formula: popular American fare, affordable pricing, and - perhaps most important - a lively bar scene. The last gets sparked by a wide array of tequilas, margaritas, and more than 80 bottled beers from across the globe (from New Hampshire"s Smuttynose to Belgium"s Delirium Nocturnum). And though the food is still a tad inconsistent, there"s plenty of good eating. For instance: a meaty half-rack (plenty!) of St. Louis-style pork spare ribs with a tangy Carolina mustard-vinegar sauce, or long, slender slices of tender brisket, whose succulent meat is smoked and brushed with Coca-Cola-based barbecue sauce. Smoke"t slathers more than just meats, as evidenced by a starter of onion rings with a nachos-style topping of pulled pork, melted cheese, and spicy chipotle sour cream. Other appetizers include fried calamari, a crock of chili, and "redneck rolls� - a shotgun wedding of barbecue and sushi. Main courses come with choice of two fixings, and there are lots of tasty ones from which to select: Coleslaw is homemade and not overly sweet, franks and beans with crisp onions are sweet but delicious, and jalapeño cornbread flecked with corn kernels and bits of pepper is the best in town. Try the warm homemade doughnuts with maple frosting for dessert.

Mowbray Pleased With Boro Win
Opposing Manager's Views Tony Mowbray was delighted with Middlesbrough's 2-1 win over Coventry City. Speaking to the Press Association, Mowbray said: "We know that is what Tarmo can do because we've seen it before. And that's why you have players like that on the bench - because they can change things and make the difference. "It wasn't the greatest game but he has got the winner and we'll take it. "I'm delighted that the team have come from behind again, I think that is eight times this season now and that is a great ability for a team. "We are starting to develop that winning mentality all teams need. That shows character and desire and those qualities will stand us in good stead next season. "We've drawn one or two more than we'd like to this season. Obviously you want to win as many games as you can but we have only lost one game in 10 and that's not bad. "It is getting towards the sort of consistency you need if you want to challenge for promotion."

1. Introduction
What is realtime support?
Some multimedia applications, like digital audio recording, processing and playback, as well as video playback, require some degree of realtime processing. Think for instance of a musician playing with a MIDI instrument connected to a software synthesizer: if the timing is off, or the latency is too high, it will be difficult to get the proper result even when the instrument is played correctly.
To allow proper multimedia application usage on Linux, there are a few methods that enable realtime support for users' processes and threads, so that important processes like JACK can run with the highest priority available, without having other processes getting in their way.
Please note that allowing processes to run at realtime priority will let them make your system unusable, either because of bugs in the code, or malicious code that locks memory or executes instructions that end up using all the CPU power. For this reason, enabling realtime processing will require reducing security a notch on the system.
Do I need realtime support?
If your idea of multimedia is playing songs, and watching movies while doing a few other tasks such as browsing the web, reading and writing emails, you probably don't need realtime support.
Realtime processing support is important for people who actually need the maximum priority for multimedia process; this includes people who record audio or video (without losing data) from analog input, people who play with MIDI musical instruments and set-top boxes wherein video and audio playback is the principal task.
In general, if you're satisfied with your multimedia applications as they are, you likely don't need realtime support, and you might mess up your system a whole lot if you try to force it.
A different class of users is embedded users who need realtime processing of signals or input from the users for low latency appliances. These users need rather different setups than most of the multimedia uses of realtime.
The different options for realtime
Since the realtime scheduler is already built into the recent 2.6 kernels, the only thing that needs to be done is to give users the ability to effectively execute processes or threads with realtime priority. This is because, as said earlier, enabling realtime priority is a security issue, and shouldn't be done lightly.
The aim of this guide is to set up a realtime group whose members can use realtime priority. Some software, like PulseAudio, expects to find such a setup to allow users to make use of realtime support. Also, by creating its own group, the admin does not have to allow realtime scheduling for more users than needed.
Note: Variations on this guide can tighten security a bit, but might require further fiddling with the configuration of other software that would be able to use these features.
There are two ways to setup and use realtime:
One of the most common options described in guides for various multimedia software is to use realtime-lsm, a kernel module that can enable either the whole system or a given group to use realtime priority, and at the same time disable memory locking to reduce the chances of a DoS attack. Although this option is very easy to use, it's currently deprecated, as the kernel developers suggest to use the Linux rlimits instead.
The other option is to use the pam_limits PAM module that ships with Linux-PAM (sys-libs/pam), that allows realtime priority for particular users or groups. The disadvantage of this is that there is no default configuration available, it has to be configured from scratch.
2. Configuration
The need for capabilities
Some of the software that supports realtime priority can make use of the Linux system capabilities to reduce the chances that bugs or malicious code (in plugins) might misuse the improved privileges it was given. Enabling these features is quite important, so it's recommended to enable support for them by enabling the caps USE flag in either /etc/make.conf or for the software that will run with realtime priority through /etc/portage/package.use.
On a kernel level, capabilities are enabled by default, but they can be disabled, so before starting, make sure that the support is at least enabled as a module (as you'll see later, for realtime-lsm to work they cannot be built-in, they have to be built as a module).
Code Listing 2.1: Option 1: default configuration
Security options ---> [ ] Enable different security models
The default configuration is good enough for most cases; if you really need to enable support for extra security modules, you should then also enable the capabilities, or they will not work:
Code Listing 2.2: Option 2: explicitly enable capabilities
Security options ---> [*] Enable different security models <*> Default Linux Capabilities
As stated earlier, for realtime-lsm to work you must make capabilities a module, or realtime-lsm will not work at all. In that case you not only need to configure the kernel properly:
Code Listing 2.3: Option 3: make capabilities a module
Security options ---> [*] Enable different security models <M> Default Linux Capabilities
However, you also need to insert the module in the kernel automatically, otherwise avahi or any other software that expects capabilities to be supported will simply fail. To do so, just add capability in a non-commented line in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6.
Warning: If you build capabilities as a module, it's really important to put the capability module in autoload, otherwise services might fail to start at boot, or might start with reduced security options.
Important: Since Linux kernel version 2.6.24, capabilities can't be compiled as a module anymore. For this reason, as it will be repeated soon, you won't be able to use realtime-lsm anymore.
Creating a realtime group
This step is not mandatory; specifically if you're going to use the last version of realtime-lsm, the group will be created for you; the group will also be created by installing newer versions of PulseAudio ebuild (0.9.6-r1; see the notes at the end of the document). Creating the user here won't hurt anyway, as the ebuilds will gladly accept the manually-created group.
It's more important to add your own user to the realtime group, so that it can use the feature you're enabling. Depending on your setup, it might be your normal user account, or a specifically-created account that you only use to use the multimedia applications requiring realtime support. In the example we'll use the musician user, which you should replace with your own user.
Code Listing 2.4: Create the realtime group, and add a user to it
# groupadd realtime # usermod -a -G realtime musician
Option 1: Using Linux rlimits with PAM
Note: As mentioned earlier, there are two options for getting realtime to work, pam and realtime-lsm. If you don't want to use pam, skip down to Option 2: Using realtime-lsm.
The recommended way to enable realtime priority support for Linux on recent kernels (2.6 series) is to use rlimits to enable a user or a group to allow them the use of the realtime priority.
Linux rlimits contain two values for limit:, one is the hard limit, the other is the soft limit. The hard limit describes the maximum value the user can request (through ulimit), while the soft limit (that always has to be lower than the other one) defines the default value given to the user's (or group's) processes.
To set the rlimit for realtime priority, at the moment, the only choice is to use the pam_limits module, shipped with Linux-PAM (sys-libs/pam): when this module is executed, the limits are read from /etc/security/limits.conf and set accordingly.
The default configuration for PAM-based logins already execute the limit, both with console login and with graphical logins like XDM and similar. On the other hand, to make sure the limits are respected by the services started through init scripts and by processes run via cron, the pam USE flag should be enabled on the two respective packages (sys-apps/baselayout and at least for sys-process/vixie-cron ).
Note: The pam USE flag in baselayout only affects the behaviour of start-stop-daemon, enabling the use of pam_limits. Unfortunately, not every service can be started through that command, which means that for those services, the limits configuration will not apply and instead the default values will be used.
The name of the rlimit is rtprio and can be seen by using the ulimit -r command. By default every user has a hard (and thus also soft) limit of 0. The value of the rtprio limit is the maximum realtime priority a process can get: the higher the value, the more priority the process is given; for most multimedia uses, a value of 10 is usually suitable, and is also the default requested by JACK.
To change the default values (that don't allow to use realtime priority to users), you have to edit the file /etc/security/limits.conf, adding the following lines:
Code Listing 2.5: Allowing the realtime group to use realtime priority
* hard rtprio 0 * soft rtprio 0 @realtime hard rtprio 20 @realtime soft rtprio 10
The @ sign in the front of realtime tells pam_limits that the limit has to be applied to a group, rather than an user. The limits in the above example are set so that the user gets a default realtime priority limit of 10 (which means that software like JACK will just work out of the box), while allowing the users to temporarily change their limit to 20 for special cases and testing.
Note: The first two lines are really needed, otherwise when changing user from a realtime-enabled user to a limited one through su or sudo, the limit will not be applied. This is a design constrain of pam_limits.
Depending on the needs and the setup you're using, you might need to tweak the limit values to set an higher realtime priority default.
Option 2: Using realtime-lsm
Warning: Since Linux kernel version 2.6.24 this is no more an option, as capabilities can't be built into a module, and external security modules can't be compiled anymore. This option is still documented for older versions of the kernel, for people not using PAM, but it cannot be supported anymore.
Now, we'll see how to configure realtime-lsm to allow realtime priority. This is the most commonly-documented way to get this feature, although it's not the preferred way to do it. The advantage of realtime-lsm is that configuration is almost automatic, and works even when not using PAM and on any login method (direct, SSH, services running since boot in the system, ...).
The first step is to enable capabilities as a module, which is a requirement for this method to work, as stated earlier, and make sure to add capability to the list of automatically loaded modules in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6.
Code Listing 2.6: Kernel configuration to make capabilities a module
The next step is to install sys-apps/realtime-lsm. The immediate next step depends vastly on the version of realtime-lsm you'll be using. The last version, at the time of writing this guide, is 0.8.5-r2, which already provides usable defaults, identical to the ones that this guide will provide. For older versions, you'll have to create the realtime group manually, following the Creating a realtime group section, and then configure the module by hand.
Code Listing 2.7: Sample configuration for the realtime-lsm module
options realtime gid=1017
The gid parameter should point to the numerical group id of the realtime group. To find out which one it is, just use the getent command, and look at the third entry in the list:
Code Listing 2.8: Finding out the group id for the realtime group
# getent group realtime realtime:x:1017:musician
Note: The numerical group id will be quite different if you added the group by hand: 1017 is a possible value for a group when added by an ebuild.
3. Applications notes
PulseAudio (media-sound/pulseaudio) is a non-professional audio daemon; the design of this software still allows for meaningful use of realtime priority.
As PulseAudio can run either with a system-wide instance, that runs under its own user, or as multiple instances launched by the user as needed, the code detects the ability to use realtime priority by checking the availability of a realtime group. As up to now there was no official way to handle this, up to version 0.9.6, the ebuild created a pulse-rt group, and assumed that being the realtime group.
As of version 0.9.6-r1, the pulse-rt group has been replaced with the realtime group discussed in this guide, so following this guide and installing a new version of PulseAudio should be enough to make it work, with a couple tweaks that will be now described.
The first important thing is to make sure that the caps USE flag is enabled for PulseAudio: this will make sure that when run with enhanced privileges, the ones that are not needed anymore can be dropped right away.
Code Listing 3.1: Verify that PulseAudio has capabilities enabled
# emerge -pv pulseaudio These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.6-r1 USE="-X alsa avahi caps hal -jack -lirc -oss -tcpd" 0 kB
Then, if you run a system-wide instance, you have to add the pulse user (which PulseAudio runs under) to the realtime group you created, so that it can make proper use of realtime priority.
Code Listing 3.2: Adding the pulse user to the realtime group
# usermod -a -G realtime pulse
At the next restart of the pulseaudio service, it will be executed with realtime priority to reduce playback latency.

In Hartford, a new report about teacher quality has brought out simmering tensions between the teachers union, district administration, and parents.
The Washington-based National Council on Teacher Quality found that state laws and contract requirements are actually hindering efforts to improve education. The report calls for more classroom time, half as many sick days for teachers, and more flexibility for principals in hiring decisions.
Andrea Johnson is the president of Hartford's teachers union. She says the new report has elicited a strong response among members.
"Anger. Anger, anger, anger. Because they feel like they're being told they're second-class citizens by a group who are not even educators."
She says it was inappropriate for researchers to look into contract issues, and that the report undermines the union.
"Folks need to point their finger when things don't go right at something. And unfortunately in education today, fingers are pointed to the teachers."
In a statement, Hartford Public Schools said it welcomed the findings, and that they would be "a useful tool" to prepare for contract negotiations in the fall of 2010. Superintendent Stephen Adamowski is on the advisory board of the national organization that published the report.
Local parents were also heartened by the report. Milly Arciniegas is the president of the Hartford Parent Organization Council. It used to be called the Hartford PTO -- but they recently took out the "T" for teachers. Arciniegas says it's time to answer the questions raised by this report.
"Can we find a way to help principals dismiss these ineffective teachers that we have in the system? Ineffective tenured teachers."
These tensions are surfacing just as teachers at 35 Hartford schools have started voting about whether they want to add 45 minutes to their workday and get an eight percent bump in pay. The district says more instructional time will increase student achievement. Andrea Johnson says her union is absolutely against it.

E-bay? My g/f (she loves snowboard fashion) is a skier, but she always buys snowboard pants because they look so much better. She got a Spyder jacket for about $30 and many MANY pairs of snowboard pants for just about $20 each. Not weird off-brands either. Good stuff, just a season old.
You can usually get lucky and find someone with a lot of money who bought top of the line stuff, then gave up after the first time they fell down and just wanted to be rid of their stuff, hehe. |

I'm Still Here (2010)
Critics Consensus: As unkempt and inscrutable as Joaquin Phoenix himself, I'm Still Here raises some interesting questions about its subject, as well as the nature of celebrity, but it fails to answer many of them convincingly.

Oscar-nominated Walk the Line star Joaquin Phoenix announces that he's retiring from acting to launch a hip-hop career as his brother-in-law Casey Affleck captures the curious transition on camera in the film some are labeling an elaborate Andy Kaufman-style prank. In the fall of 2008, Phoenix shocked his fans with the announcement that he would no longer be appearing in features, but instead trying his hand in the music business.

All Critics (129) | Top Critics (29) | Fresh (67) | Rotten (60) | DVD (3)
I'm Still Here is incredibly self indulgent and pointless. As a piece it is not funny, and simply put, it's just painful to watch and offers very little.
Joaquin gets the last laugh on us all. But the movie's a mess.
As a defeated Phoenix cleanses himself in the waters of Panama at the movie's climax, ultimately you're left asking the same question you were wondering when you went in: why should I care?
Is I'm Still Here an art film? Post-verit�? Social satire? A big "**** you" to Hollywood? Disturbing? Hard to sit through? Oh yeah.
[A] disaster, a bratty, self-indulgent demand to be paid attention to, complete with the expectation that it will be paid attention to, because celebrity simply really is that irresistible no matter what it's doing...
If what's happening in the film is honest and real, it's more spectacle than introspection. If it's all fake, only the filmmakers are laughing.
This movie has to be seen to be simultaneously believed and disbelieved.
By the end of the film, I was hoping it was a fake. If real, it would reveal a famous person who should not be celebrated.
An ugly and disturbing deconstruction of self-destruction and emptiness.
Phoenix and Affleck aren't merely concerned with teaching everyone a lesson -- that would be cheap. They offer us an opportunity to step through the looking glass and see the human being that sits behind the famous personality.
If Phoenix and Affleck are engaged in an extended performance-art piece, their message ? that America?s celebrity culture is empty and soul-crushing ? isn?t anything that hasn?t been said before.
A clever stunt that shrewdly wrestles with issues of fame, truth and self.
Taken as satire, where Phoenix is the Trickster, I'm Still Here is a rare piece of provocation cinema, infiltrating the mainstream and casting an ugly light on a torrid, superficial society.
Phoenix needs a hug. And a Bowflex.
Casy Affleck is trying to claim that I'm Still Here is 'gonzo film-making'. And I'm right with him on that point. It DOES look like it was made by a muppet.
...it took something like courage to make it, and it has some ofthe same iconoclastic power of punk rock, with the same edge of sneering cynicism ballasted by a canny sense of the market.
I don't get it.
What Affleck and Phoenix have attempted is more than a film. I'm Still Here chronicles a two-year performance-art piece that's bold and, just maybe, brilliant.
I'm Still Here's gruelling faux-doc assemblage loses its charm after about 40 minutes.
Why leave all that wreckage in their path if there's no real point; no insightful takeaway?
Audience Reviews for I'm Still Here
A prank void of any substance, I'm Still Here manages to be nothing more than a Borat imitation with flawed artistic pretenses.
MoreSuper Reviewer
In 2008, Joaquin Phoenix announces that he's quitting acting to pursue a music career in hip hop. His bother-in-law, Casey Affleck, decides to film his every move over the course of a year and delivers a portrait of an artist at a crossroads in his life.
Beginning with home video footage from 1981 in Panama, of a young Phoenix jumping from a waterfall, this films sets it's stall out in exploring a life that's seemingly always been documented. Phoenix has been in the public-eye from a very tender age, having appeared as young as 8 yrs old in the television series "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" before moving onto "The Fall Guy", "Hill Street Blues" and "Murder She Wrote". His first recognisable movie roles came in the shape of 1986's "Space Camp" or 1989's "Parenthood" before moving into more edgier roles in Gus Van Sant's "To Die For" in 1995. Up until then, he was better known as the younger sibling of (the late) River Phoenix but eventually gained the full respect of movie goers with two Oscar nominations (now three, since the release of this movie). It's was through this steady rise in the film industry that brought so much media attention to his, seemingly, self destructive decision to abandon acting and become a rap artist under the guidance of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs.
This fly-on-the wall documentary follows Phoenix's obvious lack of talent for rapping and the abandonment of his personal hygiene, while his fragile mental state increased due to a voracious appetite for cannabis and cocaine. As he's constantly high and stoned, a frenzied media where clambering for his story and a reason for the meltdown of an actor in the prime of his career. Ultimately, though, the joke was on them (and us), as the whole thing was an elaborate hoax and an exposé of the nature of celebrity and their pandered ego's and lifestyle's.
Phoenix is entirely believable in his bearded, paunched appearance and his spiralling egotistical, mental anguish and arrogance. He even dares to tackle chat-show host David Letterman (in a now infamous episode) and when you consider that this was a role that completely consumed him - not only throughout the length of the shoot but in the eyes of the world, before and after - you realise how outstanding he is. It's a powerful display of commitment and it's probably one of the bravest and boldest moves that an actor has done.
As entertainment, though, it's questionable. It goes on too long and there are points where the voyeurism pushes boundaries and comes across as bad taste. What could have been the downfall of a man going through a serious mental breakdown, struggles to decide whether it's comedic or dramatic. That being said, it's interesting viewing and it at least exposes the bitter behaviour of western media and how easily they can turn.
Being a fan of Phoenix, will certainly add to the appeal of this film, but if you can normally take or leave him, then this won't hold much of an interest. It's flawed, but it's a bold and noteworthy experiment all the same.

A few years ago Joaquin Phoenix announced he was retiring from acting to pursue a hip hop career. Was it a hoax, or was it the real deal? Well, Casey Afffleck filmed the entire thing for this "documentary". I was very intrigued to see this, because I think Phoenix is a terrific actor. After watching this, I must say, I don't give a crap if this whole thing was real or not(never says). This movie is boring, all over the place, and doesn't go anywhere. I really hope it was a hoax, because if not, Phoenix is a messed up dude, but more importantly he's a jerk. He comes off very bad in this, and makes me like him less. If it was all fake, then man he is a great actor, but this is the type of movie that just makes you like the people involved a little less. I know he is coming back to acting, and I'm sure he will still be good, but as far as this movie goes, just skip it. This isn't worth the time or effort to watch a movie.

Joaquin Phoenix: Did someone just human shit on me?�
I think everyone is over thinking I'm Still Here. It's a mocumentary and a damn good one at that. Phoenix wasn't just acting in a movie, but acting in front of the whole world. The David Letterman interview is absolutely hilarious and Phoenix makes it so believable. You have to give Letterman some credit for going with it though. I can't believe he was able to make it through that interview.�
I'm Still Here is hoax documentary about Joaquin Phoenix quitting acting and trying to pursue a rap career. Phoenix's performance is off the charts. He kills his performance and really sells the hoax that all this stuff is really going on. He embarrassed himself in front of the whole world just to make this mocumentary. How awesome is that? He faked having a complete mental breakdown. I think it's absolutely brilliant.
Besides the Letterman part of the movie; the next best scene is when he gets into a verbal argument with an audience member at his show. It is simply hysterical. It really is kind of irritating how bad the response has been to this film. It's a mocumentary, but a believable one. It's awkward. It's funny.�I guess Casey Affleck almost went broke trying to make this movie and had to actually stop filming it in order to be in The Killer Inside Me, so he could finish the film.�
Just go into it knowing it's a mocumentary and view it as a work of fiction. It's incredibly funny if viewed that way.

With Thanksgiving and Black Friday around the corner, it's time to start thinking about those gifts and what better gift than a gaming gift. This year, there's lots of new gadgets and games that would make great stocking stuffers. Here's our Top 10 gaming gifts for the 2012 holidays.
The first person shooter genre is stacked with quality AAA games from various publishers year in and year out. Most of them usually carry strict military tone that resembles the theme carried out thought the game. Offensive Combat is different and takes an entirely different approach. The game doesn't take it self seriously and that is one of its main attributes.
The idea behind E3 was to showcase the latest and brightest games of 2012, but there are always a few games that disappoint us. Some games on our list made serious changes to their formula, and not for the better. Other games took center stage at E3 when they shouldn't have. There were many games at E3, but here is our top five list of disappointments.
Once upon a time, we had game consoles that didn't connect to the Internet, provide online global rankings or even go "above and beyond" when it came to graphics. This was during the heyday of the Sega Genesis, a console that, from the early 90's onward, dominated the game universe for some time. Kudos to Sega for not only making a capable game console, but also a library to back it up, ranging from action games to sports titles to unique fare like Gunstar Heroes and Toejam and Earl. If you somehow missed out on this generation, don't fret, because Sega is bringing it to yet another platform.
The cloud gaming folks at OnLive may not have a booth on the show floor, but it's certainly leaving its mark at the Consumer Electronics Show. It has announced a partnership not only with Google TV, but also with Razer, in an attempt to bring its gaming services to more devices, other than the PC, MicroConsole and, most recently, iOS and Android devices.
Though it has yet to reach the kind of audience that Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are currently enjoying, the OnLive cloud gaming service is on the rise. Ever since it launched last year, millions of users have been thoroughly investing in the service, playing on both the comfort of their computers and through the offered MicroConsole units (for TV play). Now, on the verge of OnLive launching for iPad and other iOS devices, the company has moved forward with a launch in the UK -- and several new games coming soon.
This years Comic Con San Diego is packed with dozens of hot shows, some returning and other making their debut appearance. They're coming with cast, crew, sneak peaks, and an Q&A session for fans to get their burning questions answered. Take a break from the demos at gaming booths, and stop by one of the telvision panels! With the final list online, here are just some of the shows (in no particular order) we can't wait to see at Comic Con.

Oil and gas companies operating in Norway, western Europe's biggest producer, predict investments will plunge 21 percent next year amid rising costs and increased political interference over offshore developments.
Pedro Dias cut his workday almost in half and tripled his pay after leaving his native Portugal for a job as a software developer in Oslo.
Oil and gas companies operating in Norway, western Europe's largest producer, raised estimates for spending next year by 4 percent, driven by higher investments in the development of new fields and rising costs.
Norway's central bank can't be held accountable for industrial competitiveness and the exchange rate when setting monetary policy, Governor Oeystein Olsen said, as the bank prepares to resume tightening later this year.

Output Systems For Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometers
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 14, Issue 5, pp. 119-123 (1960)
Acrobat PDF (701 KB)
The three major types of output systems for time-of-flight mass spectrometers are described and their applications discussed. An oscilloscope output system is used to obtain quick answers with accuracy being limited to the accuracy of the oscilloscope employed For very small mass peaks, accuracy degenerates to zero. An analog output system is considered to be the most useful and versatile output system. It uses a selective gated input to measure simultaneously the areas under several mass peaks. Using this type of output, spectral patterns which are normally generated in several miscrosec can be recorded on recorders with a response of 100 cps or less. When the average number of ions per mass peak per mass spectrum is considerably less than one, a counter circuit (digital output system) can be used to totalize the ions which occur in specific mass peaks. Several mass peaks can be counted simultaneously.

There's 12 minutes of anti-shock, so if you want to take it jogging it shouldn't skip, plus it comes with a voice recorder, FM radio (which you can also record straight to the player), audio bookmarking (in case you need to halt mid-track or during an audio book) and line-in encoding – so you can record directly to the device from virtually anything into MP3 format.
