as a side note, wanted to ad, that this driver also break openoffice on my _64 platform. as soon as i roll back driver openoffice functioning just fine.
Well, it's only 6 months wait. xD
I've been using ATI since the Rage 128 Pro days, so if I have to wait another 6 months for a stable, good open source driver, it's a drop in the bucket ^^
as a side note, wanted to ad, that this driver also break openoffice on my _64 platform. as soon as i roll back driver openoffice functioning just fine.
What do you mean? ATI cards run an excellent virtual 1200x000 screen (VESA) as is. However, I would like for this driver to work; I can blame myself for picking Fedora 8 test 2 (libstdc++.so.6 and no .5 for such things as Opera and these ATI drivers, yet!) Anyone know how to fake it? Load libstdc++ 5 source from Fedora 7 and recompile the kernel and libc?
I do not use Fedora, but look for a package named libstdc++-v3. No need to recompile anything after installing that one. But as you seem to run at 64-Bit you might want to have a look at this thread, too.
since October is coming fast, any inside information about the new driver and aiglx?
See: http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5422 for 8.42 explanation
I'm new on this forum (and also quite new to Linux).
I have a problem with my display and I looking for help.
My problem = for a particular application, ANSYS-CFX software, the screen looks fuzzy. There are extra lines everywhere. I can't work.
For everything else, it's Ok. But I want this application to work properly.
Is there some other driver that can effectively replace the ATI driver ?
Any Linux default driver ?
My /etc/X11/xorg.conf file has a line with
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
I saw other people running with radeon replacing fglrx and it works. How can I do that ?
Here are some of my systems info
Laptop : IBM ThinkPad T60
Linux Fedora 7
graphic card : ATI X1400
driver = fglrx 8.40.4
Installation with rpm
> rpm -qa | grep -i xorg-x11-drv
> xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-8.40.4-2.lvn7
Radeon can't replace fglrx for the R500/X1000 series. You have an X1400. The RadeonHD driver will be the open-source version, however, it's not ready for production usage yet.

En Español (Spanish Version) More InDepth Information on This Condition
Definition | Causes | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Prevention
Osteoarthritis is a progressive, degenerative joint disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the joint lining. People with osteoarthritis usually have joint pain and limited movement of the affected joint.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Healthy cartilage is a cushion between the bones in a joint. With osteoarthritis, the cartilage wears away over a long period of time, causing bones to rub together. The exact cause is unclear, but it may be a combination of genetics and environment.
Factors that may increase your chance of osteoarthritis include:
Osteoarthritis usually affects the hands, feet, spine, hips, and knees. Common symptoms include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include:
There is no treatment that stops cartilage loss or repairs damaged cartilage or bones of the joint. When cartilage wears away, bone on bone friction causes pain and inflammation. The goal of treatment is to reduce joint pain and inflammation, and to improve joint function.
Options may include:
Losing weight can lessen the stress on joints affected by osteoarthritis. The more weight lost, the greater the benefit. Consider talking to a dietitian who can help you with meal planning.
Strengthening the muscles supporting an arthritic joint (particularly the knee, lower back, and neck) may decrease pain and absorb energy around the joint. For example, if you have arthritis in the knee, exercise and strength training can also help improve knee function. Swimming and water aerobics are good options. They do not put stress on the joint.
Another option is transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). With TENS, you are connected to a machine. The machine sends electrical signals through the skin to nerves. This type of therapy may decrease pain in some people.
If you have knee osteoarthritis, manual therapy, including massage therapy and manipulation, may be helpful.
Applying heat with hot water bottles, warm soaks, paraffin, or heating pads helps joints and muscles move more easily. It can also lessen pain. Using ice packs after activity can also help.
Glucosamine and chondroitin are two commonly used supplements. But, research has shown that these are not beneficial for most people with osteoarthritis. Talk with your doctor before taking any herbs or supplements.
Shoes with shock-absorbing in soles may provide some relief while you are doing daily activities or exercising. Splints or braces help to properly align joints and distribute weight. Knee and wrist joints may benefit from elastic supports. Canes, crutches, walkers, and orthopedic shoes can help with advanced osteoarthritis in the lower body.
If you are having difficulty getting around due to arthritis pain, your doctor might recommend that you install handrails and grips throughout your home. These are useful in the bathroom and shower. You may need elevated seats, including toilet seats, if you're having difficulty rising after sitting.
Some doctors report that acupuncture has been successful in reducing the pain of osteoarthritis. However, the evidence is not consistent.
While more studies are needed, balneotherapy (hot water therapy), relaxation therapy , exercise , yoga , and tai chi may be helpful.
Surgery may be needed for joints with severe damage. It may be done to remove loose pieces of bone or cartilage from joints or reposition bones to redistribute stress on the joint. Some may need to have the joint replaced with an artificial joint.
To help reduce your chance of osteoarthritis:

are quickly entering the glxgears "this is not a benchmark" territory. At least, not a useful one.
Phoronix: NVIDIA GeForce 400 "Fermi" Series On Nouveau
With NVIDIA still not providing any open-source support or technical documentation for their graphics processors, for those in the open-source community who seek to use their GeForce 400/500 "Fermi" GPUs without NVIDIA's binary driver, they are left to use the reverse-engineered, community-created Nouveau driver. Fortunately, the support for the NVIDIA Fermi GPUs is coming along at a respectable pace -- with even working OpenGL acceleration -- considering that NVIDIA is providing no support at all. In this article are the first benchmarks of this experimental GeForce 400/500 "Nouveau NVC0" driver versus NVIDIA's official proprietary driver.
are quickly entering the glxgears "this is not a benchmark" territory. At least, not a useful one.
Hey Michael,
I'm glad you managed to extract the firmware yourself. Anyway, Fermi has no open-source reclocking support yet, you should warn users that the card was run at the default frequency vs full speed for the blob.
All the info you need are in the latest nouveau companion: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/...0galliumdriver
As you can see, when reclocked nvc0's performance is quite high
Also, the performance boost you've seen on nouveau isn't due to the pageflip. Pageflip only brought a little performance improvement by itself. That's what I tried to explain in the latest nouveau companion:
current: 90 fps, nvc0-branch: 140 fps, +zcomp: 170 fps, +pageflip: 190 fps
The nvc0-branch has been merged to mesa master some time ago.
One last thing, please reclock the nv50 cards if you want to test the performance of the driver. Drop me a line and I'll tell you what to do and all the warnings I should give you (no temperature/fan management at the moment).
We hope Linux 2.6.40 will ship some nice PM improvements
That must be where the tenfold increase in performance is coming from
I particularly enjoyed this part (from the link you mentioned):
if you want open 2D/3D acceleration on nVidia cards, you need to use KMS and nouveau.
If nouveau crashes your computer, you can:
Try to deactivate the hardware acceleration
Of course, when memory is downclocked by a factor ten, performance goes down by the same factor
As for what to do when nouveau crashes your computer, this is extreme but still better than using VESA
Anyway, this shouldn't happen. If it does, one should notify us on #nouveau (freenode) or freedesktop's bug tracker.
The "rendering problems" you're seeing are not rendering problems, I call them "page jumping", it's a mysterious bug where the virtual -> physical address mapping seems to be temporarily ... confused.
And about clock speeds, the lowest performance level with the blob on my GTX470 is 50 MHz core clock. 50. And the highest is 600+ MHz. I'm not sure at which frequency the BIOS puts the card, but if it's anywhere near the lowest level there's still much potential there.
At least mesa demos/perf/fillrate goes up by an actual factor of 10 on that card with nouveau when I let the blob clock it up and then do a forced kexec to not give it a chance to lower them again.
I know NVidia wouldn't take part in all this, but I think they could and SHOULD help solving some HW locks there. I gues their HW-debugging equipement would solve these easily. Anyway, I am sure they will readily steal ideas from Nouveau as soon as they figure it is faster then their regular Windows driver :-)
Anyway, thanks to Nouveau guys for amazing work.
needs 600 fps? I mostly play RPGs...
I'll definately try the open source driver (my new laptop arrived yesterday in the country )
i don't understand why people are acting like (or hoping) nvidia may some day be obligated to contribute to the open source drivers. that obviously is never going to happen. unlike amd and intel, nvidia has something to hide - cuda. once people can figure out how cuda works on the driver level, people can use it for amd and intel GPUs, and once THAT happens, nvidia will lose money on something that is no longer exclusive to them. i'm not saying that i agree with this, but its completely understandable.
there is the idea that nvidia could still make open source drivers that will ONLY work with opengl and direct3d (if that ever comes to linux) with no cuda support at all, but, unlike amd/ati, nvidia actually keeps up fairly well with their linux drivers compared to their mac and windows drivers. nvidia doesn't need people complaining about how their drivers aren't up to date; if they make the drivers themselves, it will (or should be) working and fast. if nvidia left the drivers up to the community, things would take too long to get working and efficient.
as far as i'm aware, amd plans on making their drivers open source. since their drivers are already inadequate, they aren't really losing anything if they hand their stuff over to open source developers.
i'm all for open source drivers and i admire the results so far, but i strongly feel there NEEDS to be proprietary drivers on such complex hardware. nvidia is already paying people to make linux drivers. sure they could contribute to the open source drivers but i feel like if they do both (with proprietary being cuda compatible), thats asking a little too much from them for an operating system with a small percentage of desktop users.

Definition | Reasons for Test | Possible Complications | What to Expect | Call Your Doctor
The cervix is the opening to the uterus (womb). The cells on the cervix can become cancerous. Changes detected early can be treated before cancer develops. A Pap test is a way to look for changing or cancerous cells on the cervix.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A Pap test is often done as part of a pelvic exam. It is done to check cervical cells for changes ( cervical dysplasia ) that could develop into cancer . It can also detect cancer cells.
Talk to your doctor about when you should have Pap tests done. Professional health organizations have differing guidelines.
There are no major complications associated with this test.
Tell your doctor if you:
You will lie on your back on an examination table. You will place your feet in foot rests. A speculum will be inserted into the vagina. It will gently open the vagina. A fine brush or spatula will be used to wipe the surface of the cervix and its canal. The speculum will be removed. The cervical cells that stuck to the tools will be placed in a fluid-filled bottle. The cells will then be sent to a lab for testing.
The pelvic exam takes less than 5 minutes.
A Pap test is generally painless. You may feel some pressure or a small cramp when the cervix is wiped to gather cells.
The results of your Pap test are sent to your doctor within 2-3 weeks. Your doctor will inform you of the results. If needed, your doctor will talk to you about follow-up testing or treatment.
After the test, call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Oh boy. I wouldn't wear this shirt in Mexico. B/c of the swine flu and all that. /what?
I see candy! Hopefully this shirt won't get people smacked by sugar-starved kids And yes, the candy on the outside is... suspicious. Mebbe that's why the pinata's smiling?
I like the cute smiley candies. Although I have to wonder, is the glow-in-the dark ink really necessary for this design?
I feel sorry for the sweet/guy who's been left out.
some of those guys are up to no good. check out the face on that guy who fell out the back. guess i wouldn't be too pleased either.
wooo glow in the dark! it gets me everytime! this is an awesome shirt for a cinco de mayo (sp?) party at night.
Did he poop that one piece out? Ewww. However, this is the first shirt here in a long time that jumped out, and the second I saw it I thought "****, I'm about to lose ten bucks." Plus, this is my first glow in the dark. I've been wanting one of those. In for one, as they say.
Oi! Mosh good! it glows in the dark, In For 1
slowjam wrote:Did he poop that one piece out? Ewww.
i was wondering the same thing
I sort of wish the candy were the glow in the dark and invisible in the light- Seems like it makes more sense to me, but I'm not sure. Either way, I really like this shirt for some reason. Congrats to the artist
I'm on to you, Woot! This is a plot to get us to pay for overnight shipping, isn't it! You know, considering Cinco De Mayo is tomorrow...
A glow in the dark Piñata? ¡Ay, caramba!
No this is not the first time that woot has done "Glow in the Dark." I believe this is the 4th time? There was Lightning BUgs, Ghosties! and Pterodactyl With A Machine Gun. EDIT: I guess there are no n00bs on here...
can anybody tell me how glow in the dark ink really looks? I don't have any woot gitd shirts, and ive heard a couple bad things about little it stands out. They had those firefly and ghosties shirts i know.
shutts67 wrote:No this is not the first time that woot has done "Glow in the Dark." I believe this is the 4th time? There was Lightning BUgs, Ghosties! and Pterodactyl With A Machine Gun.
I bought this shirt and I don't know why. I like llama's and it's glow in the dark. I am strange.
Glow in the dark......interesting touch, not sure it's necessary but it does add a twist to a predictable design. But why is the candy smiling???????? What do they have to be happy about?????
How sad. The poor smiling candies have no idea of the evil fate that awaits them.
I like the use of glow in the dark here, but Woot's suggestion to remove your shirt at the sight of children seems a bit irresponsible.
I was expecting there to be a glow-in-the-dark bat over on sellout.woot... guess not.

Woot glow in the dark ink is not extremely bright, but it's definitely visible- If you are looking for superglow, you should try threadless shirts (their glow is nearly visible in the light)- Woot's glow in the dark is definitely visible enough, at least for the first half an hour or so, but then becomes duller over time and is hardly visible after about an hour (these are just rough estimates based on my experience with pterodactyl and ghosties, though I haven't worn either in a while)

I was expecting a pinata. =]
In for one. Poor lonely poop candy :o[
I think that pinata just shot a deuce...
This is freaking fantastically GLORIOUS. I want to wear mine in the theater as I eat mounds of candy and pretend that I can see it glowing through my llama shaped stomach. First glow in the dark t-shirt ever. I'm excited. :D
Is that an Alpaca?
This looks like a character out of Viva Pinta (Xbox 360 game by Rare/Microsoft) after it's taken a bath in a radioactive lake. AWESOME!
How come whenever I get an x-ray it never comes back as fun as this? It's always organ this and bone that...
This shirt is simply incredibly creepy...
yes. he is quite the party pooper.

This shirt tells the world: "Baby, I swing like a blindfolded six-year-old." Hell yes, that's the woot i know and love.
This thing is awesome! The candy poop sealed the deal for me!
I'm not entirely sure which version is the glowing version. Is it the one where the candy is bright or where it is dim? I'm confused because the shirt comp shows the bright version, but I believe the past glow-in-the-dark shirts showed the non-glowing version on the shirt comp, only showing the glow in the large image.
Those round swirly candy pieces look evil in a Hell Raiser kind of way. They give me goosebumps.
I got the Glow-in-the-dark shirt with the constellations from woot. It glows with the intensity of a tea candle at most if you stand in front of a lamp for a minute and then go somewhere dark. For normal daily use you won't be able to notice it. But then again it is cool to show your friends that your shirt glows in the dark and theirs don't.
Okay, I was almost gonna buy it, but that outline of the head looks like a smile and it's totally buggin me. Why make that line smooth when the rest of the pinata is rough? That, and it's just a trace of the first image that comes up when you google pinata.
Only interesting thing about this is the glow in the dark ink. The design itself is useless as usual.

There are similarities.

Zimmermann, Hand square off to open series in Miami
Nats, Marlins begin set nearly a week after Washington's sweep
After being swept by the Braves, the Nationals travel to Miami to face the Marlins for a three-game series. The last time these two clubs faced each other was last week at Nationals Park, with Washington sweeping the three-game set.
On Monday at Marlins Park, right-hander Jordan Zimmermann will get the start for the Nats. Washington is hoping it can get a quality start from Zimmermann.
Last Wednesday, Zimmermann had an outing he would like to forget, lasting 1 2/3 innings and allowing five runs on seven hits in a 10-7 victory.
In the first, Giancarlo Stanton hit an RBI single and Garrett Jones had a sacrifice fly that scored Christian Yelich. An inning later, Miami made it a 5-0 game against Zimmermann. Yelich hit an RBI single, while Derek Dietrich hit a two-run homer.
"I was terrible and the fastball was all over the place," Zimmermann said. "I walked a few guys. That's not like me. I couldn't get a very good feel. I fell behind guys and when you fall behind, you have to come back with a fastball, and the Marlins are a good fastball-hitting team."
The last time the Nationals had a quality start from their starting pitcher was Thursday, when Stephen Strasburg pitched 6 2/3 innings and allowed a run against Miami.
Marlins lefty Brad Hand will be making his second start, and both have been against the Nationals.
At Nationals Park last Wednesday, the Marlins got off to the 5-0 lead with Hand on the mound. But in the fourth inning, the lefty yielded a three-run homer to Bryce Harper.
Hand worked 3 1/3 innings, giving up three runs on four hits with four strikeouts and two walks.
"I feel like I threw a lot of good pitches, and had some deep counts," Hand said. "Not many quick counts, which ran my pitch count up. Obviously, I gave up the home run that gave them three runs. Other than that, I felt pretty good."
Before the start at Washington, Hand had been used in long relief, but he slid into the rotation when Jacob Turner went on the disabled list with a right shoulder strain. Rather than worrying about facing the Nationals twice in successive starts, Hand is aiming to execute his game plan.
"You don't really change things up," Hand said. "Go with the same game plan. I'm just trying to get ahead of hitters, stay ahead of hitters and put them away with two strikes. Obviously, I gave up the home run that gave them three runs. Other than that, I felt pretty good."
Marlins: Looking for home success
The Marlins return to Miami after a rough road trip, in which they lost a series at Washington and then Philadelphia.
Beating Washington has been a challenge for Miami in recent years. In 2013, the Marlins went 5-14 against the Nationals. Their record was better at Marlins Park, where they were 4-5. Prior to last season, the Nats last won a season series in '07, when they were 8-10.
Nationals: Espinosa gets chance to play
With Ryan Zimmerman on the DL with a fractured thumb, second baseman Anthony Rendon will switch to third base and Danny Espinosa will be the everyday second baseman.
Espinosa is off to a good start, hitting .318 (7-for-22). Teams have been interested in acquiring the infielder, but general manager Mike Rizzo has decided to hold on to him.
"I'm glad that we drafted him and developed him," Rizzo said. "He came up through our system. We always valued him as a really good Major League player. It's time for him and for other players on the team to show that they are big league players and help us [win ballgames]."
Worth noting
• Dietrich, who didn't start on Friday or Saturday, could be available on Monday. The second baseman is dealing with a back spasm.
• Rafael Furcal (strained left hamstring) is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment with Class A Advanced Jupiter on Monday. The plan is for Furcal to spend one week with the Hammerheads followed by a week with Double-A Jacksonville. From there, the club will re-evaluate.
• Kevin Frandsen is 7-for-15 (.467) with an RBI since joining the Nationals.
• Nationals pitchers have struck out 128 batters in 12 games.

Florida State's Terrance Shannon is taken off the court on a stretcher after being injured during the second half of against Virginia on Saturday. / Joe Mahoney, AP
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. â?? It was a scary sight for players, coaches and fans.
With 3:59 left to play in Saturday's 56-36 loss to Virginia, Florida State forward Terrance Shannon hit his head on the side of Cavalier forward Evan Nolte's body and fell to the floor.
Where he laid for almost 10 minutes, before being placed on a stretcher and transported to the University of Virginia Medical Center.
"He has a neck sprain," said Florida State team doctor Bill Thompson on Saturday night. "And he has improved since the time of the game to the time we got to the hospital. And I'll know further in the morning."
Thompson was on the court with Shannon and rode with him in the ambulance to the hospital.
"He had weakness in his upper and lower extremities," Thompson said. "That's why we took all those precautions. But he made a lot of improvement even from the court to the ambulance and to the hospital.
"So that's all great news."
Shannon, who suffered from a neck injury described as a "stinger" earlier in the year, was going to have more precautionary tests done before being released from the hospital.
Thompson and FSU head coach Leonard Hamilton both said Shannon was coherent and lucid while he was laying on the court. And FSU head trainer Sam Lunt said the FSU junior was able to lightly squeeze a fist and wiggle his toes on request.
Florida State forward Okaro White was standing right next to Shannon when he was injured.
"It was very scary," he said. "When he started falling he didn't even try to brace himself. It's very scary. Especially when he's not moving like that. Normally you go over there and I would try to get him up, but I could tell it was serious."
On Saturday evening Florida State assistant coach Corey Williams was driven over to the hospital to stay with Shannon. The coaches were in constant contact with Thompson at the hospital and the University of Virginia team doctor while the team prepared to bus back to the airport.
As the FSU players came out of the locker room after the game they asked coaches and Florida State sports information director Chuck Walsh if there were any updates on Shannon.
"To see him go down like that hurt us," junior guard Ian Miller said. "It was scary. It was really scary. Especially when I heard people say he didn't have feeling at first. But I hope it's all right."
Said senior guard Michael Snaer: "You just hope that a guy that works as hard as has to get to where he's got to â?? you just hope he's OK going forward in his career. You never want an injury like that to end somebody's career. He puts in so much work."
While Shannon was on the floor, John Paul Jones Arena was eerily quiet. As he was finally lifted onto the stretcher and wheeled off the floor, he received a prolonged standing ovation from the 12,303 in attendance.

Yes, you can browse the project. Doesn't mean you can browse all branches.
"The source code of the execution environment isn't available yet, but the developers plan to publish it soon. They hope that making it available and inviting the community to participate will help build momentum around the project and accelerate development."
Canonical might be learning something from valve...
If canonical play it's card right, we could have homebuild "consoles" playing Steam, as well as OUYA games, that would put any other gaming platform to shame.
Where? I don't see such on the SVN commit policy page:
"some sexy 13.04 surprises"
I have no idea where. I've only read about it in a mailing list message quite a while ago. The dev of some KDE app had a private branch on his home PC and his merges to master/trunk overwrote changes that other devs did. That in turn broke translations which is why it came to light.
The dev got an explanation that his development stye was against KDE policy.
offensive is having your operating system dial to X or Y when you perform a search (on your freaking drive)
offensive is seeing a company so desperate to monetize they will allow their system to be 1. compromised 2. amazon's bitch.
fuck canonical and fuck amazon, vive linux libre free of money grabbing parasites.
First, if it's not on their web site, it's not a policy. It's a recommendation, at best.
Second, it doesn't sound like they have anything agaist private branches, but something against not rebasing before committing. And that's VCS 101.
Third, easy branching for personal use us one of the chief reasons Linus bothered to write git.
Running Android apps@PC
There are other aspects as well - many Android applications are designed in the smartphone form factor in mind. While many work quite OK on tablets, stretching this to a desktop (1024x768 -> 1920x1080) might be a bit too much. Basically, you would get either really big icons (if they were specified as % of screen height/width) or really small ones (if their size was hardcoded in pixel). Also any non-vector graphics that gets resized would look like crap - either blurred or blocky, depending on the scaling algorithm.
There can be also issues with text input - but as some Android devices have a hardware keyboard, it might be not that hard to connect the normal input methods to the Android environment. Not sure about more advanced issues though (runtime layout switching, unicode handling etc.).
Regarding touch input - unless your monitor is a touchscreen (or maybe you have multitouch touchpad) you can't use any multitouch gestures, which some applications might be dependent on. But as there are also single-touch Android devices on the market, this might not be that much of a problem as the mainstream developers probably provide fall-backs for them.
And the other way around - forget about using middle/right click & the scroll wheel. No Android applications have any notions of it. Also no on-hover help bubbles due to how touch input works. Some of it would be probably possible to fake back in (simulating up/down swipe on list widgets, long press on right click, etc.) but it would be far from consistent.
Also, your PC mostly doesn't have all the sensors (accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, light sensor, GPS, IRDA, NFC, camera) that actually make many applications useful.
While I'm not saying it is completely pointless to do so (why not do it if it's possible ), I think the general usability of the Android applications running on PC might not be that high.
Things might change if the developers took PCs in accounts as their targets or if more standard desktop Linux libraries and toolkits can be used for writing Android applications (the Necessitas project[1] is already working on this, it is also possible to use Python to write Android GUI applications[2][3] Its just still a little unpolished though. )

Rusty Gregory knows people are not happy with him for closing June Mountain.
In the end, facing a loss of an average of $1.5 million a year, that wasn't enough to stop him.
"Personally, I'm incredibly disappointed as well," he said. " I realize that the people in June are shocked and very disappointed, and angry with me. But the idea of subsidizing June without a view of an end result is not sustainable."
He also said skier visits have gone from an average of 80,000 per season to 45,000 last season.
And, he said that another criticism—that the decision was "abrupt"— is not altogether true.
"In normal circumstances, we could avoid facing the issue, and it was probably irresponsible of me to have not faced the facts sooner," he said. "But the fact is, we've had a long dialogue with the community about the viability of June Mountain, and we felt this was an appropriate time, at the beginning of summer.
"From our perspective, June is not going to find a sustainable business in the short term," he said. "In the long term, we'll see. There is a better way. There's still a reason to believe that June can be a part of a destination resort. With air service, we're looking for people to come up for more than just a long weekend. For the people who book a four-to-five-day stay, June offers a nice alternative. But with the economy—with the state and with the Town of Mammoth Lakes—it is a constant and stark financial reminder that we just can't keep going this way."
Although Gregory didn't mention it directly, June Lake residents are well aware that June Mountain faces another challenge that could make a ski area less viable over time—as much as 30 percent of the mountain is now covered in red, dead, bark-beetle-killed trees. The infestation, which is spreading every year, is both dangerous and unattractive, adding another negative to the whole scenario.
MMSA is not the only player in this game
Mammoth Mountain is not the only player when it comes to whether June Mountain opens again.
It might not even be the most critical player.
With all the talk about other parties buying June Mountain (see accompanying story on p.1), with the emerging protests, the bottom line is June Mountain is built on land that does not belong to any single person. Every citizen in the country owns it. It is not private land, but public land.
The only thing MMSA owns is the developed properties on the mountain.
The ski area was built before WWII on United States Forest Service Inyo National Forest land. Today, MMSA holds what is known as a "special use permit" that allows it to operate a ski area on federal land. Gregory signed it on Jan. 2, 2006, and it is good for 50 years.
The catch is that the permit is valid only if MMSA operates the ski area under the criteria and conditions established by the Forest Service.
The permit is 16 pages and makes clear that in the end, what the Inyo National Forest giveth, the Inyo National forest can taketh away.
"This use (as a ski area) shall normally be exercised at least 365 days a year or season," the permit reads. "Failure of the holder to exercise this minimum use may result in termination…"
The permit further reads: "The Forest Service may suspend or revoke this permit in whole or part" for several reasons, including "failure of the holder to exercise the privileges granted by this permit," amidst other reasons.
Nancy Upham, the public information officer for the forest, said Thursday that every permit is dealt with on a case-by-case basis. That means sitting down and talking to Gregory and/or other MMSA representatives.
"We need to discuss this with them, understand their plans and know that they fully understand that their permitted use could be terminated," she said, adding that the meeting would probably not occur until the week of July 9, since both Gregory and the forest's supervisor, Ed Armenta, are out of the area until that week.Â
But closing the ski area temporarily does not trigger a specific penalty, and, there are no definite deadlines associated with closing the ski area, she said.
"There is nothing that says that they cannot keep the permit even though they are not operating, except for the clause [referenced above]," she said. "This is what we plan to have full discussions with them about."
She said that the forest will want to immediately assure several conditions are met, including "a business plan that addresses timelines, status check-ins, or other relevant information as determined by the forest supervisor."
She also said that the ski area's insurance must "remain valid up to the amount identified in their special use permit," that "security/patrol procedures are in place for both winter and summer," and that "legal access to the area is in place."
When asked if the public would have an opportunity to be involved in the process, she said, "In light of the amount of public interest in this, we will express to MMSA officials that we would like their planning process to be transparent and that we would expect them to take the lead on this. Mono County has definitely expressed interest, but it would be premature for us to answer this question at this time."
If MMSA does want to sell its improvements, the forest service would be deeply involved in that process, she said.Â
"Appropriate documentation would have to be submitted to the forest service regarding the sale and application for a new ski area permit and the forest service would have to make the determination that a new permittee has both the financial and technical ability to hold the permit," she said.

Section 108 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to convene a Chronic Hazard Advisory Panel (CHAP) to study the effects on children's health of all phthalates and phthalate alternatives as used in children's toys and child care articles. The CHAP makes recommendations to the Commission regarding any phthalates (or combinations of phthalates) in addition to those identified in section 108 of the CPSIA or phthalate alternatives that the panel determines should be declared banned hazardous substances. The sixth meeting of the CHAP on phthalates will be held November 2-4, 2011 at CPSC headquarters.
The CPSIA of 2008 authorized a variety of new regulations and testing requirements for children's products and some non-children's products.

The Gray Kangaroo
September 17, 2005 Now this makes a lot of sense, particularly if you like to drink liquor and want to minimise the damage it does to your body, reduce the hangover, take the edge off your moonshine or significantly improve the quality of the liquor you drink. We're not sure just how well it works but the press reviews so far seem very promising, and … oh, what is it? The Gray Kangaroo Personal Liquor Filter uses a carbon-based filtration system to filter out impurities – just stick an empty bottle in the bottom and a full bottle of cheap plonk in the top and voila! … Additional filtration to remove the impurities is one of the processes involved in the manufacture of expensive liquor – the idea is that by using this US$30 filter you can make cheap liquor taste as good as the top shelf stuff.

Revision as of 14:45, 4 April 2009
The history of the initiative and referendum process in Washington began in 1897, though indirect initiatives were not ratified into the state constitution until 1912.
Earliest Advocates
In 1897 State Representative L. E. Reeder of Ollalla introduced a constitutional amendment for initiative and referendum that passed the lower house by a 63 to 12 vote, but it failed in the state senate. Influential in that partial victory was House Speaker Charles E. Cline of Olympia, who became secretary of the state's Direct Legislation League.
Another state legislator, George F. Cotterill of Seattle, had become president of the League by 1900. By this time, however, Cline was no longer House Speaker, and the I&R movement stagnated.
I&R Becomes Law
After the initial failed attempts at passing I&R law in the state of Washington groups formed around the issue to push it through. In 1907 the state's organized labor and farm groups cooperated with the Direct Legislation League in deluging the legislature with petitions calling for statewide I&R. Soon after, the I&R bill introduced by State Rep. Glenn N. Ranck of Vancouver passed the lower house 66 to 26, but the state senate defeated it 25 to 15. An I&R supporter noted that "just two forces" opposed I&R: "special privileged corporation interests and the organized liquor traffic," the latter because it feared voters would enact a Prohibition initiative.
I&R was going to be passed into law, but there was opposition within the state as to how much power should be given to the voters through I&R. The state Federation of Labor, whose president was Charles Case, and the state Grange, whose "master" (i.e., president) was C. B. Kegley, formed a Joint Legislative Committee that finally got the I&R amendment through both houses of the legislature in 1911. However, the version passed by the legislature did not allow voters to initiate state constitutional amendments, because certain state senators, with the active support of Governor Hay, insisted that an amendment receive at least 60 percent of all votes cast in a general election in order to pass. The pro-I&R committee refused to accept this compromise, and over 70 years later, there is still no provision for initiatives to amend the state constitution in Washington. Voters ratified the legislature's I&R bill by a five to two margin in 1912, and in the same election, George Cotterill was elected mayor of Seattle.
Early successful initiatives
The farmer-labor Joint Legislative Committee put the voters' newly established lawmaking powers to use immediately. They circulated petitions to put seven initiatives on the 1914 ballot, of which five qualified, though only one was approved by voters: a measure to abolish private employment agencies. The intent behind this law was to stop the well-documented exploitation of unemployed workers, particularly lumberjacks, by such agencies.
A statewide Prohibition initiative also passed in 1914, just as the liquor interests had feared.
Fighting to keep rights to initiative & referendum
As a result of the Prohibition initiative the following year anti-initiative forces in the legislature - which was "dominated by the whiskey, lumber, and fish interests," according to Grange Master Kegley - struck back by passing a bill (deceptively titled "An Act to Facilitate the Operation of the Initiative and Referendum") that would have made it virtually impossible to get an initiative on the ballot.
Progressive forces used the power of referendum to stop the bill from going into effect. They quickly circulated petitions to block it until voters could reject it in the November 1916 election (which they did, by a three to one margin).
Obstructing referendum rights
The legislature soon found a way to obstruct the referendum provision: by attaching an "emergency clause" to a bill, they could cause it to take effect immediately and thus make it invulnerable to referendum petitions. Eventually, in 1929, the state supreme court ruled that the legislature could not add an "emergency clause" to a bill in the absence of a real emergency (State ex. rel. Satterthwaite v. Hinkle, 152 Wash. 221 [1929]).
Other early initiatives
Property tax limitation initiatives were on the ballot five times between 1924 and 1938. The proposals, which sought to limit the tax levy on real and personal property to 40 mills, were passed by voters in 1932, 1934, 1936, and 1938, before the legislature acted to make the tax limit permanent by putting it into the state constitution, a move that was approved by voters in 1940.
Washington voters twice approved redistricting initiatives, once in 1930 and again in 1956. The latter initiative was sponsored by the state League of Women Voters. Another successful election reform passed by voter initiative was permanent voter registration, enacted in 1932.
In the years of the Great Depression, economic concerns frequently became the subject of Washington state initiatives. Voters passed an initiative authorizing creation of public utility districts in 1930, a measure that helped make possible the state's current system of locally controlled, publicly owned electric utilities.
Production for use proposal
Perhaps the most innovative initiative of the 1930s was the 1936 "Production for Use" proposal. "Production for Use" was conceived by Upton Sinclair, the Socialist author of The Jungle, who became a Democrat in 1934 in order to run for California's governorship. This economic recovery plan called for the government to acquire idle production facilities such as factories, hire the unemployed to work in them, and promote sales of the goods through cooperatives. After Sinclair lost in California, his Washington admirers decided to give the concept a second chance by putting it on the ballot there in 1936. The Washington Commonwealth Federation, which sponsored the initiative, was split by internal dissension that year, and little was accomplished to promote the measure's passage. It lost by a nearly four to one margin.
1948 to present initiatives
Washington voters turned generous in 1948, when they approved initiatives granting a bonus to veterans and increasing Social Security benefits. In 1954 they rejected by a three to one margin an initiative to restrict advertising for alcoholic beverages on television: a unique proposal that, like "Production for Use" in 1936, never appeared on any other ballot in the nation.
One of the most important postwar reforms accomplished by voter initiative was the establishment of the state's civil service system, which was approved by the electorate in 1958 for county sheriff employees and in 1960 for state employees. Prior to this, the "patronage" or "spoils system" had filled bureaucracies with incompetent party hacks.
In 1968, the Washington State Medical Association sponsored an initiative requiring drivers stopped by police for driving under the influence of liquor to submit to breath tests. Voters approved it by a two to one margin. That same year they approved a measure putting a lid on interest rates paid by retail credit customers.
In 1970, environmentalists launched a petition drive for an initiative to restrict shoreline development, more than a year before California ecology groups launched their drive for a similar initiative. The Washington state petition qualified for the ballot and prompted the legislature to propose an alternative bill, which was on the 1972 ballot along with the initiative measure. The legislature's bill received more votes, and therefore it took effect instead of the initiative. In 1988, however, when the choice was between an environmentalist-backed toxic waste tax and cleanup initiative and the legislature's version, voters chose the initiative.
Present activists
In 2000 along came a new initiative advocate, Tim Eyman. Like Bill Sizemore in Oregon and Doug Bruce in Colorado, his passion was tax reduction. He placed several initiatives on the ballot in 2000 and 2001 that passed overwhelmingly. However, the state supreme court struck them down as violating the state's stringent single subject rule for initiatives.

Special Olympics Coaches from the United States had the opportunity to experience the Special Olympics European Football Week up close and personal in Serbia. The five American coaches, joined by two of their peers from Montenegro and three from Serbia, were part of an international coach exchange funded by the US Department of State. The aim of the exchange is to enhance the skills of Special Olympics coaches who work with individuals with intellectual disabilities in various sports. Special Olympics Serbia played host to the guest coaches.The coaches had the opportunity to learn about professional and grassroots football from several guest speakers including Coach Cvjetin Blagojevic from Red Star Belgrade Football Club; Dr. Jovan Jelic, a retired medical doctor with Premier League and National Teams; and Igor Jankovic, Director, Basic Football, Football Association of Serbia. Miodrag Maksimovic, Special Olympics Serbia Sports Director, discussed with coaches the challenges and successes of developing football for players with intellectual disabilities in Serbia. One of the highlights of the presentations was a discussion between coach exchange participant Steven Gardoni, a Special Olympics athlete and coach assistant from Arizona, USA; and Special Olympics Serbia footballer and coach assistant Dejan Radu who discussed their roles as coach assistants.The coaches then travelled to Krusevac to watch a training session of a newly formed girls Unified Football team. Partners (team members without a disability) are recruited from Napredak Football Club and weekly trainings take place at the club. Approximately 50 Special Olympics athletes in Krusevac play football.The highlight sports event for the guest coaches was attending a football competition in the village of Starcevo, near Belgrade. US Ambassador Mary Bruce Warlick opened the event which involved nine teams from 10 cities. Two Project Unify teams took part in a demonstration match. Four referees licensed by the Football Federation of Serbia officiated. Local television ran info spots on the competition throughout the day; the event was reported on the evening news.At the end of the exchange program, the coaches, along with Special Olympics athletes from Pancevo and Jabuka, were invited to participate in a fun football day at the state-of-the art Serbian House of Football located in Stara Pazova. Coaches and Special Olympics footballers played a high-spirited match on one of the center's six fields. They were warmly welcomed to the center by Igor Jankovic, Director, Basic Football, Football Federation of Serbia. The coaches ended their visit in Serbia with a tour of Red Star Stadium in Belgrade.
