Parrish pot seizure swings focus to state battle

PARRISH - Four days after lobbying Tallahassee lawmakers to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes, an activist couple were busted by police for growing pot at their home in Parrish.
CLICK HERE to vote in our poll: Do you support or oppose the Cathy Jordan Cannabis Medical Act, which would legalize marijuana for medical use in Florida?

Read the poll on medical marijuana in Florida
Manatee County deputies uprooted two full-grown backyard marijuana plants belonging to wheelchair-bound Cathy Jordan, who suffers from Lou Gehrig's disease, and disabled Vietnam veteran Robert Jordan. Although neither was arrested Monday, officers confiscated 21 seedlings that the Jordans insist were intended to stabilize her neurodegenerative disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.
"They explained to me that they had no choice because it's the law," Robert said Wednesday. "Well, guess what? I've got no choice in the matter, too. We're going head-to-head now and one of us is going to fall. And if it's me, somebody else is going to step up.
"They've come and taken away the medicine that's been keeping my wife alive for 20 years," he said. "I'm not going to let my wife die, and anybody who loves somebody would do the same thing."
Just last week, the Jordans met with legislative Democrats, who agreed to back a 138-page bill called the Cathy Jordan Medical Cannabis Act. Sponsored by Rep. Katie Edwards, D-Plantation, and Sen. Jeff Clemens, D-Lake Worth, this marks the first time in at least 30 years that a bill to legalize the drug has been filed in Florida. If the measure is passed, Florida will become the 19th state and the first in the South to sanction marijuana for medical reasons.
Found to have ALS in 1986, and given a five-year survival window by doctors, Cathy Jordan began smoking marijuana in 1989 and says it has succeeded where prescription drugs have not.
But the Jordans' elation over their symbolic victory in Tallahassee began to fade on Monday, when a housing inspector reported them to police.
According to the sheriff's report, Sonya Leigh Johnson was assessing the vacant home next door when she noticed an extension cord running from an open window toward the Jordans' home. She peeked through the backyard fence, saw the plants, took photos and reported the scene to the Sheriff's Office.
Uniformed deputies showed up at the Jordans' home Monday afternoon, followed by three undercover detectives, two wearing ski masks. John Jordan, their 43-year-old son, said that utility service at the home next door was in the Jordans' name because the Jordans were planning to close on the house purchase this week.
"We had no idea about their involvement in the medical marijuana bill," said sheriff's spokesman Dave Bristow. "The only reason we responded was because somebody complained."
No one was arrested because "there was some question as to ownership of the marijuana plants."
"I think they were embarrassed," said Cathy Jordan, director of the Florida Cannabis Action Network. "I don't think they wanted to put a 62-year-old woman in a wheelchair with Lou Gehrig's disease in jail."
The Sarasota State Attorney's Office declined to comment on whether it will file charges.
"Is this really the best use of our law enforcement's time?" asked Clemens, the Democrat sponsoring the proposed legislation. "I think the public would be much better served by changing the law to allow our police to concentrate on violent criminals, not senior citizens in wheelchairs."
Changing times
Sponsoring a pot legalization bill under any circumstances was once seen as political suicide in Florida.
The legislation is unlikely to pass this year, co-sponsor Edwards concedes, but she predicted "that this is going to happen in the next four to five years in Florida and I would rather be in front on this issue than behind it."
Edwards and other supporters point to a poll released this week, commissioned by People United for Medical Marijuana-Florida, that showed 70 percent of voters sampled supported legalization for medical reasons. The poll of 600 registered voters across the state was evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats.
"Perceptions are changing. It's time to have an adult conversation about this in Florida," said Edwards, who met Cathy Jordan for the first time last week.
"You look in the eyes of this incredibly feeble woman and you cannot help but have compassion for her," Edwards said. "She would gladly give up marijuana if she could get out of her wheelchair and be free of Lou Gehrig's disease. But she is suffering and this gives her some relief. How is Cathy Jordan using marijuana any threat to me?"
Ben Pollara, a spokesman for People United for Medical Marijuana-Florida, called it "grotesque" that seriously ill Floridians who use marijuana should be subject to police raids.
"If anything," Pollara said, "this will steel support because people understand how wrong it is that people like Cathy Jordan have to go through something like this when they are suffering so much already," Pollara said.
Edwards acknowledged that current laws put police in difficult positions and that her bill will allow authorities to focus more resources on threats that really matter to Floridians.
Pollara said he has little confidence that the Republican-dominated Legislature will pass the Jordan bill. Instead, his organization is pushing an alternative route — gathering signatures to put the question on a constitutional ballot. The group is still a long way off. It says it has gathered 100,000, but needs to have 676,811 validated by Feb. 1, 2014, to place the question on next year's ballot. Even if it gets that far, it would require 60 percent of Florida voters to approve it.
But Pollara, who has worked for 10 years on political campaigns, including Hillary Rodham Clinton's in Florida, said the poll was a game-changer because it shows national and state donors that there is popular support in Florida for medical marijuana.
Edwards said the state also has economic reasons for passing the Jordan act.
States such as Colorado could generate millions in tax revenue from pot. It could also be a boon for Florida farmers, she said.

TV Shows You Never Knew Were Spin-Offs (PHOTOS)
Spin-offs get a bad rap, and not without reason. After all, they're usually a network's lazy attempt to milk a cash cow show with great ratings for all it's worth.
The problem is that the spin-offs usually suck. They can even tarnish the original that we all thought was so great! But, every once in a while, there's one so good, we actually forget it was spawned by another show. These eight shows are (or were) fantastic in their own right, but they aren't originals — they're spin-offs.

I don't think this is a concern about Windows, but rather about hardware vendors shipping with secure boot enabled and no way to disable it, so that *only* a digitally signed bootloader (eg the one in the pre-installed OS) could be loaded and run.

I. The Warning
Unfortunately, Verizon successfully challenged the U.S. net neutrality rules. In principle, a domestic ISP now can legally impede the video streams that members request from Netflix, degrading the experience we jointly provide. The motivation could be to get Netflix to pay fees to stop this degradation. Were this draconian scenario to unfold with some ISP, we would vigorously protest and encourage our members to demand the open Internet they are paying their ISP to deliver.
The most likely case, however, is that ISPs will avoid this consumer-unfriendly path of discrimination. ISPs are generally aware of the broad public support for net neutrality and don't want to galvanize government action. Moreover, ISPs have very profitable broadband businesses they want to expand. Consumers purchase higher bandwidth packages mostly for one reason: high-quality streaming video. ISPs appear to recognize this and many of them are working closely with us and other streaming video services to enable the ISPs subscribers to more consistently get the high-quality streaming video consumers desire.
In the long-term, we think Netflix and consumers are best served by strong network neutrality across all networks, including wireless. To the degree that ISPs adhere to a meaningful voluntary code of conduct, less regulation is warranted. To the degree that some aggressive ISPs start impeding specific data flows, more regulation would clearly be needed.
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings is fearful of what the death of net neutrality
[Image Source: Social News Daily]
In other words, Verizon, Inc. (
) and AT&T, Inc. (
) -- the two largest wireless operators in the U.S. market -- plus Time Warner Cable Inc. (
) and Comcast Corp. (
), have
all pledged
to not discriminate against "legal" content to some extent.
But Mr. Hastings is aptly pointing out that such promises are nebulously defined at best, and there's a lack of momentum to commit to a single industry-wide standard that would prevent abuse without government intervention.
The problem is somewhat of a catch-22 as
unequal taxation and other government handouts
have helped to consolidate the U.S. wired and wireless industry into just a handful of dominant powers.
The issue extends all the way down to the states, where
cable internet operators like TWC and Comcast
pay large sums of cash to state officials
hinder efforts by potential competitors to enter "their turf"
and to stymie public-private partnerships, another alternative. As a result, in many regions a single provider retains a monopoly on high-speed service in a region, or at best two large powers control local service.
Given the at times collusive behavior of these top players, "two can be as bad as one" as the band Three Dog Night once sang.

In other words, in a healthy, competitive market, service providers might be forced to bow to customers and not stymie popular content providers (or even small newer content providers). But in the U.S.'s artificially controlled market where the government has doted on a few favored companies, growing them to monstrous proportions, there may not be enough competition to rely solely on competition to enforce net neutrality in the absence of regulation.
II. Will Service Providers Throttle More Than Just Filesharing?
So far, throttling efforts have
largely been focused on populist file-sharing movement
-- whether it be of the legal or illegal kind. But some fear similar tactics could be applied to high bandwidth content such as internet video or radio. Such a move could help promote a service provider's rival offering (which streams at full speed), be aimed at squeezing at "toll" out of the content providers, or simply be aimed at reducing network usage to increase profit.
The internet is inherently an interstate affair, hence it might seem to fall clearly under the commerce cause of the Constitution. Yet Congress has done a very poor job of giving the
U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) direction and the power to enforce its rules. As a result, the FCC tends to
put forth policies
such as net neutrality, only to have them later killed in
embarrassing court defeats
Cutting the wires could kill innovations on the net, as well as popular services like Netflix.
[Image Source: CFC Oklahoma]
While Verizon was the latest to kill that policy (which was
installed "officially" in Dec. 2012
), Comcast had previously
successfully shot down a FCC complaint
on de facto net neutrality rules. In the Comcast case the justices seemed to feel it was doubtful that the FCC had authority under laws passed by Congress to enforce such a provision.
With the more codified Dec. 2012 implementation and with the FCC's formal justification of how it believed net neutrality was within the powers granted it by Congress, the same court (
U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
) rethought the April 2010 Comcast ruling, when
Verizon sued to block the rules
. But ultimately
the FCC still lost
under the new rules, as the court ruled that the FCC could not enforce the policy given how it classified large carriers (a classification that it used to unofficially try to give benefits to smaller competitors).
Part of the blame in that latest loss rests on the shoulders of FCC officials, but part of it also
rests on Congress
for failing to simply pass a law clearly defining the extent of net neutrality, a clear Constitutional justification, and the endowment of strong enough regulatory power for enforcement purposes.
The FCC lacks clear guidelines when it comes to net neutrality, and also lacks the power to carry out significant enforcement. [Image Source: Guardian UK]
As a result, companies like Google Inc. (
) (whose YouTube service could be in the crosshairs of throttling), Pandora Media Inc. (
), and Netflix have to adopt a wary wait-and-see attitude, hoping service providers live up to their nonbinding promises, and that any would-be throttling schemes are stayed for fear of angering customers. As Mr. Reed suggests, we may arrive a decade from now and be relieved that no major clashes between service providers and content providers occurred. But sooner or later, it might happen, and that's a big threat to Netflix.
(Older estimates indicate Netflix may use
as much of a third of cable internet bandwidth
in the U.S. Competitors
such as Amazon.com
, Inc. (
and Hulu
may have cut into that total, though.)
III. For Now Netflix Can Smile at Steady Growth
Otherwise, Netflix posted a strong quarter, with 2.33 million new subscriptions in the U.S. and 1.6 million abroad. Netflix now has 33.42 million subscribers in the U.S. and 10.93 million abroad. Of these 31.71 million in the U.S. (95%) and 9.72 million abroad (89%) are paid subscribers. Netflix pulled in a cool $1.175B USD in subscription revenue, and saw a net profit of $48M USD ($0.79 USD/share), a figure that was sunk somewhat by a net loss of $57M USD.
The customer growth was in the high end of analyst predictions, and was met with much enthusiasm. The earnings per share beat the average expectation among analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Analysts, on average expected only $0.66 USD/share ($40M USD) earnings.
Netflix has faced its fair share of controversies over the years.
While it may now cry foul on data discrimination, it had no problem discriminating against others content less than a decade ago. Back in 2006 it
tried to kill Blockbuster's internet rental service
-- an anticompetitive effort that would arguably help to kill Blockbuster in the process,
dealing a fatal blow
to the video rental service's recovery and attempt at transitioning to a more modern online business model.
Following a 2008 court battle
, Blockbuster did eventually beat back Netflix,
winning the rights to launch digital services
and cut its late fees, but that
wasn't enough to save it
by 2010 it was bankrupt
While many didn't care for Blockbuster, some disliked how Netflix used legal actions to freeze Blockbuster's online efforts, helping to eventually kill the rival firm.
Some customers remain bitter about that.
Netflix also
weathered a storm of controversy
when it split its DVD rental and streaming services,
knocking two dollars (from $9.99 USD/month for the bundled rate to $7.99 USD/month) for streaming only service
, but increasing the overall price for customers who want both. As might be expected the new terms led to some shrinkage in both new subscriptions and overall DVD subscriptions.
Netflix survived controversy over its pricing and legal campaign against Blockbuster.
But Netflix won customers back with a recent price cut down to
$6.99 USD/month for single-user streaming video
, and grew profits steadily throughout late 2012 through 2013.
Netflix has also
is still struggling to get premium content
from some sources. But overall it is growing fast and customers are generally happier with it today than they were during the rocky periods of the Blockbuster wars and the restructuring from DVD-focused with a side of streaming to streaming focused business.

Phoronix: Debian GNU/Hurd 2013 Release Brings New Packages
While it wasn't part of the Debian 7.0 Wheezy release earlier this month, the GNU non-Linux folks have now put out Debian GNU/Hurd 2013. This operating system pairs the Debian user-land with the GNU Hurd kernel...
"Benchmarks of Debian GNU/Hurd against GNU/Linux and GNU/kFreeBSD are forthcoming on Phoronix."
I am really looking forward to it!
"but still the project is working out to a surprising level"
It has only taken nearly a quarter of a century.
Shouldn't it just be Debian GNU? Seems redundant to call it gnu/hurd when hurd is the gnu kernel.
I think you're the definition of why "Don't feed the trolls" is a valid statement.
Linux is a great Kernel, but Hurd has some very interesting and useful features (foremost the translators) which make handling things hard to do with Linux _very_ easy.
It has taken so long to get a working system, because the Hurd-developers are focusing on constructing a well-designed system, and not focusing on rapid development. Even though the Linux kernel may work good, it is in many ways a fragmented system mainly due to the fact it has undergone heavy development in the last 20 years, which is not easy to keep together well.

veröffentlicht am 10.06.2013 /
MOUNT MORRIS, Pennsylvania – Red Bull KTM Factory Team riders Marvin Musquin and Ken Roczen topped the podium in the 250 Motocross class splitting moto wins at the fourth round of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship Series held at High Point Raceway.
It was Ken Roczen who leaped out to the early lead at the start of the first moto. Roczen rode a great race leading every lap with the KTM 250 SX-F to take the moto win. His teammate, Marvin Musquin, came from a 6th place start to finish 2nd in the moto right behind his teammate.
The two Red Bull KTM teammates would find themselves in a battle for the lead once more as they lined up for the second moto. It was Musquin who nailed the holeshot while Roczen made the best of a bad jump off the line to come around in 5th place. Roczen quickly set to work to try and reel in his teammate. Roczen passed approximately one rider a lap until he had finally moved into 2nd place. He pressured his teammate for the entire race while Musquin remained strong against his charge to continue to lead. At the end of the moto it was Musquin who held on leading every lap to take his first career moto win and his second overall of the season. Roczen held on for 2nd place for 2nd overall on the day.
"It feels really good to get my first moto win," remarked Musquin. "I have had won overall events but never a moto win until today. It was also great to battle with my teammate and have both of us represent our team on the top of the podium. I hope we can continue to battle for this championship throughout the season."

17 c. rendition of human inside sperm. Public domain in US. |
Double X Extra: A monomer is a building block (mono = one) and a polymer is a chain of monomers. With a few dozen monomers or building blocks, we get millions of different polymers. That may sound nutty until you think of the infinity of values that can be built using only the numbers 0 through 9 as building blocks or the intricate programming that is done using only a binary code of zeros and ones in different combinations.
Double X Extra: The specific reaction that hooks one monomer to another in a covalent bond is called dehydration synthesis because in making the bond–synthesizing the larger molecule–a molecule of water is removed (dehydration). The reverse is hydrolysis (hydro = water; lysis = breaking), which breaks the covalent bond by the addition of a molecule of water.
Double X Extra: We call a fatty acid a fatty acid because it's got a carboxylic acid attached to a fatty tail. A triglyceride consists of three of these fatty acids attached to a molecule called glycerol. Our dietary fat primarily consists of these triglycerides.
Double X Extra: A triglyceride can have up to three different fatty acids attached to it. Canola oil, for example, consists primarily of oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid, all of which are unsaturated fatty acids with 18 carbons in their chains.
Double X Extra: A hormone is a blood-borne signaling molecule. It can be lipid based, like testosterone, or short protein, like insulin.
Biohazard!The names associated with nucleic acids can be confusing because they all start with nucle-. It may seem obvious or easy now, but a brain freeze on a test could mix you up. You need to fix in your mind that the shorter term (10 letters, four syllables), nucleotide, refers to the smaller molecule, the three-part building block. The longer term (12 characters, including the space, and five syllables), nucleic acid, which is inherent in the names DNA and RNA, designates the big, long molecule.

I've used the Zagg and other screen protectors and by far this one is the easiest to install. No bubbles, the iPad 2 looks like it doesn't have anything on. And my stylus doesn't make a squeeky sound on contact. I would definitely recommend this item.
These are great quality screen protectors and you definitely can't complain about the price! The screen protectors are cut exactly to the size of the ipad2 screen. Cutouts are perfect. I applied one to my ipad2 and one to my husband's ipad2 last night and was amazed at how easily they went on. I had minimal (less than 5) tiny air bubbles to ease out, which I was able to do without a problem. Nice and clear, so it doesn't change the look or the clarity of the screen at all. Easiest screen protector I have ever applied!
As a low cost alternative to the brand name screen protectors- these are great. They install quickly and easily without a lot of bubbling. They are easy to clean and can be removed and reapplied without a problem. They do not really seem to prevent or minimize fingerprints but since they are easy to clean, it is not a big issue.
We needed screen protectors for our 40 school iPads and couldn't afford to pay store price. I read so many reviews I was dizzy! I found more favorable reviews for Overstock than from most providers. The fact that there were 3 screens per package for a good price sold me. When they came, they were single sheets per package, but the quality was superior. When you install, you must make sure your iPad and table area are dust free. Blow the dust off your screen one final time before you lay down the protector as static on the protector screen builds up when you remove the film and it will attract dust. I had no problem installing and they lined up properly. Very satisfied!
The screen saver worked as stated. Te installation needs to be done in a clean environment as any dust, fog hair, etc will get trapped below if not careful.
Great price, great product
The IPad Screen Cover was very simple to put only iPad. The price is very nice. Delivery was very fast. Will order again as a gift to a family member.
They are a good idea but they just don't work, air bubbles galore and a very flat dull appearance when on, threw them away!!
Got this in the mail really fast. The cost of this was so much cheaper then the other stores I went to.
Easy to put on...that was my biggest fear! Getting crooked or air bubbles...no problem tho!

Kershaw seeks Dodgers' sixth straight win
Rockies match Nicasio against All-Star left-hander in LA
The cloudy skies have cleared and it's only getting sunnier in Dodgerland.
As they continue their charge in the National League West, the Dodgers' series-opening 6-1 victory over the Rockies Thursday night pushed them over .500 for the first time since April 15. The hottest team in baseball will eye their sixth consecutive victory and 17th in their last 20 games when their four-game series with the Rockies continues Friday night at Dodger Stadium.
Even with Troy Tulowitzki and Dexter Fowler back in the lineup Thursday for the first time in nearly a month, the Rockies slipped back to five games under .500, tied for their worst mark this year. Tulowitzki and Fowler finished a combined 0-for-8.
Things won't get much easier for Colorado when the Dodgers tab All-Star ace Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw has been nearly unhittable lately, allowing just three earned runs over his last three starts, all wins.
The Rockies reunion with Kershaw has come sooner than they hoped, as just 10 days ago he pitched a shutout at Coors Field in an 8-0 Dodgers victory. With the All-Star break around the corner, he leads the Majors in ERA, opponent's batting average and WHIP.
"Our starting pitching during this run has been amazing," said catcher A.J. Ellis, who is riding a nine-game hitting streak. "We've got guys who are stepping up, giving us good starts and giving the offense a chance to score runs and add on runs."
After a brief run with Triple-A Colorado Springs, Nicasio will get the nod for Colorado in place of the injured Roy Oswalt. Nicasio's last start for the Rockies came on June 25, when he surrendered six earned runs and 12 hits in just 2 1/3 innings, his worst start of the year.
He showed promise in his final Minor League start July 5, throwing eight shutout innings without a walk and giving up just five hits.
"It's throwing strikes, being in good counts, being more efficient," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "It's got to be a put-away pitch, so he doesn't have to deal with extended at-bats. We all know he's got the big arm, but it's a matter of being more efficient and getting strike one.
Nicasio may have one thing going for him, however, as Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig is day to day after aggravating a hip injury and exiting Thursday's game after seven innings.
Dodgers: Ramirez has shot at history
Shortstop Hanley Ramirez is on the verge of becoming the first Dodger since at least 1933 to head into the All-Star break with an average above .400.
Ramirez, who went 0-for-2 with a walk on Thursday, is batting .402 through 36 games after coming off the disabled list in early June.
• Kershaw will be the Dodgers' lone representative at the upcoming All-Star game after Puig and Gonzalez both missed out on the final National League roster spot in the Final Vote.
Puig (.397, eight homers, 19 RBIs) finished second and Gonzalez (.302, 14 homers, 58 RBIs) fifth behind Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman, who earned his first All-Star selection.
Rockies: Helton breaks top 100
Todd Helton singled twice Thursday night, moving him into a tie for 100th on Major League Baseball's career hits list.
Helton, who broke into the big leagues in 1997, is tied with former White Sox slugger Frank Thomas with 2,468 hits. He also ranks 19th with 577 doubles, the most of any active player.
Worth noting
• Fowler is 15-for-34 with four walks and three extra-base hits in his career against Kershaw.
• After taking four of six against Los Angeles to open the year, the Rockies have dropped three of their last four to the Dodgers.
• Kershaw has not lost to the Rockies since April 5, 2011.

Obama calls on Congress to stop sequestration, pass cyber bill
Tuesday - 2/12/2013, 10:51pm EST
President Barack Obama, in his fifth State of the Union, reiterated many of the common management themes that have been at the center of the administration over the last four years.
The president Tuesday night pressed for balanced deficit reduction and emphasized the need to stop sequestration from going into effect. He, once again, told Congress to pass comprehensive cybersecurity legislation. And, Obama said the Defense Department would continue to invest in new capabilities while reducing waste.
Additionally, he focused on manufacturing, energy and education that will give the departments of Defense, Energy and several others new mandates.
"Tonight, I'll lay out additional proposals that are fully paid for and fully consistent with the budget framework both parties agreed to just 18 months ago," Obama said. "Let me repeat — nothing I'm proposing tonight should increase our deficit by a single dime. It's not a bigger government we need, but a smarter government that sets priorities and invests in broad-based growth."
That idea of a smarter government starts with figuring out how to cut the deficit.
Obama said sequestration cuts are not the way to go as they are "sudden, harsh, arbitrary cuts [that] would jeopardize our military readiness. They'd devastate priorities like education, energy, and medical research. They would certainly slow our recovery, and cost us hundreds of thousands of jobs."
Sequestration cuts totaling $85 billion across nearly every agency are scheduled to begin March 1 and could mean furloughs of hundreds of thousands of federal employees and a significant reduction in citizen services.
Obama said those in Congress who have proposed cutting from only civilian agencies and not DoD are mistaken.
Instead, Obama called for "a balanced approach to deficit reduction, with spending cuts and revenue, and with everybody doing their fair share."
He said a balanced approach means changing the way government pays for Medicare and getting rid of tax loopholes that would save hundreds of billions of dollars.
"Now is our best chance for bipartisan, comprehensive tax reform that encourages job creation and helps bring down the deficit," he said. "The American people deserve a tax code that helps small businesses spend less time filling out complicated forms, and more time expanding and hiring; a tax code that ensures billionaires with high-powered accountants can't pay a lower rate than their hard- working secretaries; a tax code that lowers incentives to move jobs overseas, and lowers tax rates for businesses and manufacturers that create jobs right here in America. That's what tax reform can deliver. That's what we can do together."
Like sequestration that was never supposed to happen, Obama said Congress and the Executive Branch need to stop moving from one budget crisis to the next.
"Let's set party interests aside and work to pass a budget that replaces reckless cuts with smart savings and wise investments in our future," he said. "And let's do it without the brinksmanship that stresses consumers and scares off investors. Let's agree, right here, right now, to keep the people's government open, pay our bills on time, and always uphold the full faith and credit of the United States of America. The American people have worked too hard, for too long, rebuilding from one crisis to see their elected officials cause another."
Beyond the potential sequestration cuts, Obama called for more attention to the threat of cyber attacks.
He signed the much-anticipated cybersecurity Executive Order Tuesday, creating new roles for the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Department of Homeland Security and several other agencies to create standards and improve information sharing.
"Now, Congress must act as well, by passing legislation to give our government a greater capacity to secure our networks and deter attacks," Obama said.
Part of that cyber deterrence effort comes from DoD. Obama promised to invest in new capabilities, while reducing waste and wartime spending.
"We will ensure equal treatment for all service members, and equal benefits for their families - gay and straight. We will draw upon the courage and skills of our sisters and daughters, because women have proven under fire that they are ready for combat," he said. "We will keep faith with our veterans - investing in world-class care, including mental health care, for our wounded warriors; supporting our military families; and giving our veterans the benefits, education, and job opportunities they have earned."
DoD also will play a big role, along with Energy, to create three more manufacturing hubs where businesses can partner with government to turn areas of the country into "global centers of high-tech jobs."

I didn't see this coming.
I was expecting to have to switch to xorg-driver-ati when I upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10. That may not have bothered me so much, because the latest version reportedly supports compositing on the Radeon Xpress 1100.
Phoronix: Canonical Publishes ATI Catalyst 8.11 Beta
X Server 1.5 was officially released last month with X.Org 7.4, but there had been server pre-releases going back to earlier this year. Fedora 9 had even shipped with an early version version of X Server 1.5. For those using the open-source X.Org drivers, running the latest server is not a big deal, but those with ATI or NVIDIA binary drivers they sometimes can be slow in supporting the latest version. NVIDIA has supported X Server 1.5 for a number of weeks now, but ATI has yet to update their Catalyst Linux driver with such support. With Ubuntu 8.10 being released in two weeks and it's using this newest X Server, how will ATI graphics cards be supported? Well, an interesting event has occurred and we will tell you what has happened in this article.
I didn't see this coming.

This is good news. If all goes well I'll be able to run glxears accelerated on Fedora 11 with my HD4850. Yeeeey!
Jokes aside, I'd like to see this happening more often. Given the amount of Ubuntu users, this could really help speed up the development of the driver.
I'm going to buy a new PC now. Let me test this beta driver and then decide wether is ATI or ATI the graphic card :P. Just to know if this driver behave well with my ATI X1400.
I always on Ubuntu so, I hope this works fine or else I'm going to stick to my laptop to play WoW.
Great move
But Michael, are you sure that you got the release streams right? Catalyst 8.8 was 8.52, 8.9 is 8.53 and so this driver is probably the Catalyst 8.10 driver (final driver I guess, or a Catalyst 8.10 hotfix). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am... quite sure.
Yea I think the article got the versions wrong. Or else that would also mean the if they need to ship the November driver for XServer 1.5 support, that the October still doesn't have it.
sweet! (ten characters)
See my observation on an earlier topic. http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showt...t=12700&page=3
Shuttleworth is presenting Ubuntu + AMD as the killer alternative to the Wintel platform. I believe he thinks he can sell to the HPs and the Dells of this world as a lower cost, higher margin alternative. This is why he gets more preferential treatment than Phoronix, OpenSUSE or RedHat.
Is it possible that Catalyst 8.10 will be the beta on Catalyst 8.11? If yes, it's possible that the version of Ubuntu is not the really Catalyst 8.11 but Catalyst 8.10 beta.

Charm City set for frenzy as Orioles host Yanks
On Sunday evening at 6 ET on TBS, two very familiar foes will get together at Oriole Park at Camden Yards as the American League East champion Yankees face the AL Wild Card-winning O's for the opener of a best-of-five AL Division Series. It will be the 19th meeting this season between the division rivals, but the stakes are completely different this time around.
The playoffs are back in Baltimore. And while the crowds were rowdy when the Yankees visited in early September, Sunday should bring a whole new level of craziness -- weather permitting. (With rain in the forecast, it's worth noting that a postponement would push Game 1 to Monday and eliminate Tuesday's travel day.)
"It's a little hard to describe," manager Buck Showalter said. "It's not one of those things I don't know how it's going to be. Regardless of the outcome, there's going to be a real nice feeling to share in what the fans are feeling.
"We landed last night and the guys got to the bottom of the steps, and five or six flight support guys were down there clapping for them. Seeing how excited our bus driver was. We got back here at 5 o'clock or something in the morning, I'm not sure what it was, and there were six or seven fans that -- I don't know if they just stayed up or got up real early -- were standing by the players' parking lot gate. We're excited. Everyone is excited with them and for them."
The O's made a late run at the division title after New York held a commanding midseason lead. They then upset the Rangers at Arlington in the AL Wild Card game, which they entered appearing to have the short end of the starting pitching matchup. If the odds are stacked against the O's -- and that seems to be the conventional wisdom -- it won't bother them.
"It really means nothing to us," said O's Game 1 starter Jason Hammel. "It's a bunch of people telling us that we couldn't do anything, so obviously we were supposed to finish last; that didn't happen. We weren't supposed to get to the playoffs; that didn't happen. It's something that we don't really look at."
Though the teams finished the regular season separated by two games, and though they split 18 head-to-head meetings, Baltimore will once again be a heavy underdog. Hammel, returning from a right knee injury, makes his first competitive start since Sept. 11. He'll be followed by Wei-Yin Chen and Miguel Gonzalez in Games 2 and 3, respectively.
While Hammel is solid, he's no AL Cy Young Award winner. New York will counter with ace CC Sabathia, who has won pitching's highest honor. Being able to pitch Sabathia in Game 1 is one advantage of having won the division rather than a Wild Card berth.
"This is what you play for as a kid," Sabathia said. "Trying to win a championship and being able to be in the postseason with the Yankees means a lot to me, and this organization is unbelievable. All the World Series championships and all the guys we have in the clubhouse that have been there I think helps you out, takes the pressure off, and you can just go out and do your part and have a good chance to win."
Trying to keep the O's in the park is not easy, especially at Camden Yards. The Yanks can surely mash, but unless Sabathia is at his best in the opener, they'll have to if they want to win. Of course, the same goes for Hammel. The Yankees' lineup thrives at home and on the road. Two hitters' parks and two powerful lineups could add up to some high-scoring contests in this series.
Sabathia has dealt with some issues this year, and as recently as mid-September, there were worries about just how strong he'd be for the postseason. But three straight superb starts put those concerns to rest, and now the left-hander looms as one of the most critical assets for manager Joe Girardi's team.
Sabathia hasn't always been effective in the postseason, but there's enough of a body of work to make it clear that he's one of the game's best pitchers, whether it's April or October. The Yankees know they have the offense, and they know they have a stout bullpen. The question for them this October will be whether the rotation is good enough, and that starts with Sabathia in Game 1 of the ALDS.
"I don't think you can make too much of last year, just because of the way the schedule was," Girardi said, referring to October rain delays. "We started a game and stopped it, and then he came back on short rest, so I don't really make too much of that. He pitched well against Minnesota in Game 1 [of the 2010 ALDS]. I don't really recall exactly how he did against Texas [in the 2010 AL Championship Series]. But, I mean, he's pitched pretty well, for the most part."
One other factor that could come into play: weather. Sunday's forecast calls for rain in Baltimore, and both managers acknowledged that weather issues could affect who makes their respective ALDS rosters.
Yankees: Rolling Robbie
There may not be a hitter in baseball hotter than Robinson Cano. The Yanks' keystone man has nine straight multihit games, having finished the regular season on a ridiculous 24-for-39 (.615) tear. He tallied three homers, 14 RBIs, 11 runs and seven doubles in that span.
That surge helped the Yanks reclaim their accustomed spot atop the AL East. Cano hit .347 in September, and New York finished the season on a 17-6 run.
"That was a coming-out party for Robbie," said teammate Alex Rodriguez. "With the world watching, when we needed him the most -- it reminded me of [Hideki] Matsui in '09. As the guy hitting in front of him, you just don't want to disturb him; you just want to keep the line moving. You want the bat in his hands as often as possible."
On a team laden with superstars, it may seem strange to think of the quiet Cano as the Yankees' best hitter, but that's assuredly what he is. He's the engine that makes this lineup go, and he'll be looking to improve on a lifetime .258/.307/.491 postseason batting line.
"Robbie is a huge bat for us," Girardi said. "Absolutely huge."
First baseman Mark Teixeira went 1-for-12 over the final three games of the regular season after returning from a left calf injury that cost him 30 games in August and September. Teixeira's one hit was a home run, but he went 0-for-9 over the last two games.
Teixeira appears to be healthy enough to play for the Yankees, having started all three games of the Yankees' season-ending series with Boston. But his effectiveness will be one of the bigger questions facing the team as the playoffs dawn.
Power is the name of the game for the Yankees, who set a franchise record and led the Major Leagues with 245 home runs this year. They hit 31 more than any other team in baseball, with the Orioles a distant second.
And while Yankee Stadium is a factor in that, no team in baseball hit more road homers than New York's 107. The new ballpark in the Bronx is a good place to hit, but this team hits everywhere. And the ball can jump out in Baltimore, too.
Orioles: Buck is back
For Showalter, this is a third Division Series, and the third uniform in which he's done it. A strong candidate for AL Manager of the Year honors, he's earned plaudits all season for pulling just the right levers in the Orioles' bullpen.
It worked out again in the Wild Card game, as Showalter's unconventional choice of Joe Saunders to start worked out beautifully. Then the Baltimore relief corps brought home the win against a potent offense in a great park for hitters.
It's been a particularly memorable year, with Showalter bringing back a proud franchise that had dealt with a lengthy fallow period. He's the first Orioles manager with a winning record since Davey Johnson, who helmed the club in 1996-97, and the once-fiery skipper seems to have a slightly softer edge these days. And he loves the team he's taking into battle every day.
"It's about the players," Showalter said after the Wild Card win. "I didn't do it. I had good players, general manager, scouts, our front office. It's just unfortunate in our society we want to hang the golden hero around somebody. It doesn't fit in this case. With our team, it's just a bunch of guys that raised the bar and wouldn't give in and still haven't. Now, they get a chance to win, to roll the dice, and there's a lot of good card players in there."
Sunday's game will be the first playoff game in Baltimore since Game 6 of the 1997 ALCS, a 1-0 Orioles loss to the Indians in 11 innings. In each of the O's previous four trips to the postseason, they won their first series. The last time they didn't win their first series was '74, when they lost the ALCS to the A's.
Orioles relievers pitched the fourth-most innings of any bullpen in the Major Leagues this year, with 545 1/3. Washington and Oakland were the only other postseason teams to rank in the top 14 in relief innings pitched, coming in seventh (515 1/3) and 10th (512), respectively. The O's have not lost a game all year when they lead after seven innings, and no team had fewer relief losses than the Orioles' 11.
Baltimore will play its first playoff series in 15 years without its two longest-tenured players. Second baseman Brian Roberts is out for the season after undergoing surgery for a hip injury. Markakis still hopes to return this year from a left thumb injury, but he likely would not be available before the World Series, if the O's were to get that far.
Worth noting
Baltimore outscored New York, 92-90, in the 18 regular-season meetings.
Sabathia has a 5.00 lifetime ERA in eight Division Series appearances (seven starts), with 26 walks issued in 36 innings.
