Was Killing of Trujillo Good for Dominican Republic's Image?
In the early 1960s, the Dominican Republic was rocked by two critical events: the assassination of longtime dictator Rafael Trujillo in May 1961 and the September 1963 coup d'etat that removed President Juan Bosch from power. City College of New York sociologist Dr. Ramona Hernández is the co-author of a new book, published in Spanish in the Dominican Republic, which examines how the foreign press portrayed these events and the country during the 27 months between them.Read More »

USDA/APHIS NOW ACCEPTING COMMENTS ON FEDERAL RULE PROPOSALBy: Staff Writers
9 views
[Updated - Friday, July 13, 2012]
Yesterday, a proposed change to how the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)/Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) may administer federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA) regulations affecting "Retail Pet Stores and Licensing Exemptions" was published to the Federal Register. Comments on the proposal are now being accepted by APHIS.
The American Kennel Club continues to believe that the proposed changes have the potential to significantly impact AKC breeders, and encourages all interested parties to review the proposed rule and offer comment.
Click here to view the proposed rule.
Click here to view a USDA Fact Sheet about the proposed rule.
Background: The AWA exempts from federal licensing and regulations "retail pet stores", which are defined as anyone selling puppies directly to a final customer for use as pets. It is this exemption that enables most small or hobby breeders to currently avoid being licensed and regulated by the USDA.
The new proposed rule rescinds the exempt "retail pet store" status of anyone selling pets at retail to buyers who do not physically enter the breeder's facilities in order to personally observe the animals available for sale prior to purchase and/or to take custody of the animals after purchase. The primary purpose of this rule is to regulate breeders who sell puppies online. The changes in the rule mean that breeders or others who sell puppies sight unseen, by any means, would now be regulated under USDA regulations.
The proposed rule also increases from three to four the number of a breeding females that a person may maintain on his or her premises and be exempt from the licensing and inspection requirements in the AWA, regardless of how the offspring are sold.
The AKC has a number of concerns, including:
Changes to regulations differ significantly from legislation. Unlike legislation, where entire new laws can easily be developed, the proposed rule (regulations) may only address a narrow scope of how an existing law—the AWA—may be administered by the government. This means that the options for impacting regulatory outcomes are very limited compared to options for impacting legislation. The primary recourse for impacted parties for regulatory change is to provide specific expertise and comment on the proposed rule – which may or may not be accepted by the executive authority interpreting the law.
The USDA is seeking constructive comment on the proposed rule or alternatives to the recommendations. Individuals concerned about the proposed rule change for retail pet stores have until August 15, 2012, to comment on the rule. Comments may be made:
Please note, federal regulations do not supersede state licensing laws: If you meet the requirements for licensing at both state and federal levels, you would be responsible for obtaining both licenses. Some states do not require breeders to be licensed by the state if they are already federally licensed. This is an issue that varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Individuals should check with their state/local authorities to determine how they would be impacted.
For more information, contact AKC's Government Relations Department at (919) 816-3720, or email email@example.com.

Complaints stemming from Fire Family performances prompt parks board changes
EVANSVILLE - Evansville's parks board on Wednesday gave itself greater authority to revoke event permits given to groups using city properties.
The rule change stems from complaints surrounding Sunday evening fire dance shows at the Four Freedoms monument.
All of those complaints have to do with audience behavior, not with the Evansville Fire Family as those putting on the performances are known, said Denise Johnson, director of the Department of Parks and Recreation.
The shows began in the spring and are to last through the end of this month. They have drawn as many as 1,500 people.
Complaints have included ice cream trucks on sidewalks, the presence of exotic pets, trash, graffiti and people climbing on war memorials.
Johnson said a few users of the Pigeon Creek Greenway earlier this year reported unwelcome conversation from people attending the shows.
"I don't think (the performers) were truly aware of everything going on around them when they were performing," Johnson said.
Board of Park Commissioners members said they encourage use of city facilities for events, but the rule change is aimed at bringing problems under control.
They said Evansville police officers already have authority to shut down a gathering, but the rule change gives city government officials added authority to revoke a permit.
Chris Albert, a member of the troupe that puts on the Sunday evening shows, said city parks officials have discussed the issues of concern with him.
"The city has always taken care of us. They have always been on our side and done what we asked of them.
"With bigger festivals and bigger crowds, you have to taken better control. We're working together to find a solution so we can continue to do shows and provide a safe and clean environment."

Japanese Stocks Drop Second Day as Fed Offers No New Stimulus
Dec. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Japanese stocks edged lower for a second day after the U.S. Federal Reserve offered no new measures to spur growth. Losses were limited amid speculation shares are cheap.
Sony Corp., which depends on the U.S. for a fifth of its sales, fell 1.5 percent. Nexon Co., a South Korean maker of online games that started trading in Tokyo today, dropped after Japan's biggest initial share offering this year. Olympus Corp. pared losses of as much as 19 percent as the scandal-hit company met a deadline today to report earnings and avoid being delisted.
The Nikkei 225 Stock Average fell 0.4 percent to 8,519.13 at the 3 p.m. trading close in Tokyo. The broader Topix Index slid 0.5 percent to 736.98 after the Fed refrained from offering another round of large-scale asset purchases to buoy the economy.
"Nothing came out of the Fed meeting and that's negative for the markets," said Shintaro Takeuchi, a portfolio investment manager at Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., which oversees the equivalent of $111 billion. "Still Japanese stocks are cheap so the downside impact should be limited."
Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 0.3 percent today. The index dropped 0.9 percent in New York yesterday after a report showed U.S. retail sales gained last month at the slowest pace since June.
The Fed said yesterday the U.S. economy continues to expand even as global growth slows. Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and his colleagues reiterated a warning from the Fed's two previous meetings that "strains in global financial markets continue to pose significant downside risks to the economic outlook."
Sony, Honda Drop
Exporters to the U.S. fell, with Sony dropping 1.5 percent to 1,365 yen. Honda Motor Co., which counts the North America as its biggest market, slid 2.2 percent to 2,331 yen. The automaker was rated "underweight" in new coverage at Morgan Stanley, which said "it remains to be seen whether Honda can lead the industry in fuel economy."
Stocks also declined after German Chancellor Angela Merkel signaled she doesn't support expanding the size of a planned permanent rescue fund for Europe. Merkel told German lawmakers that a 500 billion-euro cap on the fund will stay in place, two officials with knowledge of the discussion said.
"Germany won't strengthen its support unless there's a consensus that its own economy and financial institutions will be hurt by what happens in the rest of the region," said Hitoshi Asaoka, a senior strategist in Tokyo at Mizuho Trust & Banking Co. "There still isn't a sense of shared destiny."
Nexon's Down Debut
Nexon, an online game creator that's more profitable than Zynga Inc., fell 2.3 percent on its first day of trading to 1,270 yen from its initial offering price of 1,300 yen per share. Like Zynga, which is set to go public tomorrow, Nexon earns revenue by letting consumers play games for free and charging them for virtual goods, including costumes for characters.
Rival DeNA Co., which operates the Mobage gaming site, dropped 4.3 percent to 2,277 yen. Gree Inc., a social-network website operator, fell 2.7 percent to 2,597 yen.
Olympus, which had delayed its second-quarter earnings report amid an accounting scandal, filed results today, meeting a deadline that allowed it to avoid automatic delisting from the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The stock fell 4.1 percent to 1,314 yen, after plunging as much 19 percent.
Japanese companies this year have had share prices hit by more than Europe's sovereign-debt crisis. The yen's rise to a postwar high against the dollar and disruptions to production from floods in Thailand and the country's worst earthquake on record have sent the Topix down about 18 percent since January, compared with a 19 percent decline on the Stoxx Europe 600 Index.
The decline has cut the price of shares on the Topix to 0.89 times estimated book value, near the lowest since March 2009, according to Bloomberg data. Almost 70 percent of the companies on the listed on the index are trading below book value, according to Hiroichi Nishi, an equities manager in Tokyo at SMBC Nikko Securities Inc.
"There's increasing appetite for dip-buying," Nishi said. "Stocks probably won't drop much lower."

11 December 2013 07:35 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Saudi Arabia's Eastern Petrochemical (SHARQ) expects to shut its 700,000 tonne/year No 4 monoethylene glycol (MEG) plant in Al Jubail in mid-December for a month-long maintenance, a source close to the company said on Wednesday.
The plant had an outage that lasted up to two days in late November because of mechanical issues at the unit's reactor.
"The company needs to conduct a thorough check-up of the unit for safety concerns," the source said.
SHARQ is a joint venture between Saudi petrochemical giant SABIC, Saudi Petrochemical Development and a consortium of Japanese firms led by Mitsubishi Corp.

UCSD's Rady School develops high-tech leaders
When visiting the school and speaking with students, we are extremely impressed with the quality of support these students provide to the business community. Recently, the San Diego Zoo asked a group of students to develop a marketing strategy for a web-based animal training program. Another team of Rady students performed an extensive study for a cloud storage entrepreneur, analyzing how the entrepreneur could take a product to market. Students also created a business plan for a local company to assess potential micro grids in California, addressing military, university and commercial markets. Such student activities are an essential component to the experience-based MBA curriculum as well as service to our community.
With the news that the Rady School has achieved the highest level of accreditation, we reflect back on those initial discussions about the future of San Diego's economy. In short order our decision to cultivate and invest in a new breed of business school that would serve our emerging science and technology industries has paid large dividends to our community. The Rady School is clearly positioned to be ranked as a top business school nationally and to continue to accelerate San Diego's economic prosperity. We believe that the best is yet to come.
Technologists and scientists no longer need to leave San Diego to obtain a world-class business education, and San Diego is developing the leaders necessary to ensure the future of its entrepreneurial economy.

Late summer to the middle of autumn is the blooming period for Chrysanthemum "Harmony," a yellow flowering species hardy to USDA Zone 5. Harmony grows to 24 inches tall, with brilliant yellow flowers that eventually change to a cream-yellow shade with a tint of pink. "Jessica" is another yellow hybrid form, blooming from September until frost. Jessica grows 2 feet tall, with fragrant dark green foliage.
Names of the Varieties of Chrysanthemums
The majority of chrysanthemums serve as annuals or perennials, growing in flower gardens, along borders, in groups or as container plants. These plants come in an assortment of colors and cultivars, many with catchy, appealing names. While most chrysanthemums lack extreme cold hardiness, most are suitable for growing from U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Hardiness Zone 5 into the warmer zones.
Yellow Varieties
Red Varieties
The "Overture" cultivar of chrysanthemum features russet red with golden yellow centers and blooms late into the fall months. Suitable for USDA Zone 5 through Zone 9, Overture forms mounds as wide as 36 inches. This chrysanthemum blends well with other perennials such as sedum and asters, suggests Perennial Resource. As with most "mums," "Raquel" does well in damp, humus-rich soils. It generates vibrant maroon-red flowers from late summer until frost appears. Raquel grows to 24 inches.
White Varieties
The flowers that develop on "Marilyn" feature white rays surrounding a dull-yellow center. Marilyn blooms from September until the temperature dips below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Marilyn generates profuse flowers and is an appropriate garden mum for Zone 5 through Zone 9. Place "Linda" in an area that gets afternoon shade in the hotter regions where it grows, such as Zone 8 and Zone 9. Linda has white flowers that have a lighter shade of yellow in the middle.
Multi-colored Petal Varieties
Yellow petals shaped like spoons with red tips highlight the flowers of "Matchsticks," a hybrid that grows between 18 and 24 inches high. Matchsticks is a variety of chrysanthemum with a somewhat shorter blooming period than most, flowering from early autumn through the middle of fall. Two tones of bronze adorn the petals of "Dark Yotri." This hybrid forms compact mounds only up to 18 inches wide. It blooms from September until initial frost.

- Introduction
- Fundamental questions
- Democratic institutions
- The theory of democracy
- Problems and challenges
International systems
At the end of the 18th century, in response to the dilemma of size described earlier, the focus of both the theory and the practice of democracy shifted from the small association of the city-state to the far larger nation-state. Although their increased size enabled democracies to solve more of the problems they confronted, there remained some problems that not even the largest democracy could solve by itself. To address these problems several international organizations were established after World War II, most notably the United Nations (1945), and their numbers and responsibilities grew rapidly through the rest of the 20th century.
These organizations posed two related challenges to democracy. First, by shifting ultimate control of a country's policies in a certain area to the international level, they reduced to a corresponding extent the influence that citizens could exert on such policies through democratic means. Second, all international organizations, even those that were formally accountable to national governments, lacked the political institutions of representative democracy. How could these institutions be made democratic—or at least more democratic?
In their struggle to forge a constitution for the new European Union at the beginning of the 21st century, European leaders faced both of these challenges, as well as most of the fundamental questions posed at the beginning of this article. What kind of association is appropriate to a democratic government of Europe? What persons or entities should constitute the European dēmos? What political organizations or institutions are needed? Should decisions be made by majority? If so, by what kind of majority—a majority of persons, of countries, of both countries and persons, or of something else? Do all the conditions necessary for satisfactory democratic government exist in this huge and diverse association? If not, would a less-democratic system be more desirable?
Transition, consolidation, breakdown
For many of the countries that made a transition to democracy in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the problems and challenges facing democracy were particularly acute. Obstacles in the path of a successful consolidation of democratic institutions included economic problems such as widespread poverty, unemployment, massive inequalities in income and wealth, rapid inflation, and low or negative rates of economic growth. Countries at low levels of economic development also usually lacked a large middle class and a well-educated population. In many of these countries, the division of the population into antagonistic ethnic, racial, religious, or linguistic groups made it difficult to manage political differences peacefully. In others, extensive government intervention in the economy, along with other factors, resulted in the widespread corruption of government officials. Many countries also lacked an effective legal system, making civil rights highly insecure and allowing for abuse by political elites and criminal elements. In these countries the idea of the rule of law was not well established in the prevailing political culture, in some cases because of constant warfare or long years of authoritarian rule. In other respects the political culture of these countries did not inculcate in citizens the kinds of beliefs and values that could support democratic institutions and practices during crises or even during the ordinary conflicts of political life.
In light of these circumstances, it is quite possible that the extraordinary pace of democratization begun in the 20th century will not continue long into the 21st century. In some countries, authoritarian systems probably will remain in place. In some countries that have made the transition to democracy, new democratic institutions probably will remain weak and fragile. Other countries might lose their democratic governments and revert to some form of authoritarian rule.
Yet, despite these adversities, the odds are great that in the foreseeable future a very large share of the world's population, in a very large share of the world's countries, will live under democratic forms of government that continue to evolve in order to meet challenges both old and new.

My dating life is my friends' favorite form of entertainment. You're welcome, friends.
I love to surround myself with people who make me laugh, and who also can appreciate my sense of humor. I'm a very open person who'll talk about just about anything -- my lack of a filter gets me into trouble from time to time. I consider myself to be thoughtful, loyal, and sensitive, and I value those qualities in others. At the same time, I'm definitely not looking for a male version of myself – I like getting to know all the ways that a person is different from me. As long as the conversation and laughs come easily, and the spark is there, then I'm happy to see where things might lead. And consider yourself warned: I like to ask a lot of questions...!

I like Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses, Reptiles
I have one cat, and hope to have at least one (preferably large) dog someday.
I've got plenty of favorite spots around town - many (okay, most) tend to revolve around food... but in general, I'm just as fine with a night in at a friend's house as I am with going out. I've never been big into the bar scene...
iPod; camera; peas; big dogs; my cat (she's destructive, but I love her); horror movies; TV (currently Better Call Saul, Walking Dead, Last Week Tonight, House of Cards.... and wondering when the French version of the Returned will come back).
Spending time with friends and family. I've been in a band for several years, which is tons of fun. I've signed up for a soccer league, starting in May - will be my first time playing in 15 years! Travel, reading, movies/TV, live music, comedy...
Currently making my way through a giant sci-fi book called The Way of Kings (Brandon Sanderson).

Guide: Install Leopard on unsupported Macs
Things you will need
Step 1: Setup
In 10.5 Apple has changed their package type to xar, unfortunately it is not built into Tiger. Luckily an opensource app called Darwin Ports, has ports of all sorts of open source things. I will detail this section more later for those having trouble. I ran into a problem, but I don't remember how I solved it, basically the package update wouldn't run. If someone runs into it, I will let them know how to fix it. (This turned out to be the C compiler)
Install Darwin Ports. Installation instructions are on the page after you download.
*NOTES* If you get the following error: "no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH," this is because you have no compiler. This is the issue I ran into and I realized I hadn't installed XCODE on this Mac. I have the disk from my developer tools so I installed it from there. You can also get it here: Developer Tools
Next you will need to install xar, the installation instructions are on the linked page.
Also, install Carbon Copy Cloner, you can get this here. CCC
Now you are ready for the fun, assuming everything is working!
Step 2: Make a new image
Use your disc or dmg to create a sparse image, this will maintain the disc contents with block level copying, it will also make your image write-able. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to make the sparse image. Carbon Copy Cloner is pretty straight forward, on the left side choose "Restore from disk image" and on the right choose "New disk image." You will get a dialog select the location for the image and give it a name. Further be sure to select the read and write option. Then run the clone. CCC is actually heaps faster than FreeDMG anyhow.
Now, once you have the new dmg. Get info on it, expand the Ownership and Permission section and be sure to set yourself up to have read and write access. (you will need to authenticate with the lock).
This process worked like a charm for me when I tested it on 10-26-2007. This is one of the definite routes to take. See the following to get an idea of what I sorta know. I apologize for not being able to test every option and honestly when I made the guide i had fumbled through the whole process myself. I reinstalled Tiger however to make this guide better.
This relates to number 6, which I know some people have had trouble with. I did too, and tons of it. To be honest, I don't remember the exact way I ended up doing it. I am testing out better methods to make this work better. Here are some things I know and don't know.
1. FreeDMG does not work for doing this.
2. CCC may work for doing this, it is also faster
3. Burning the original DMG to disk and using diskutil to make a read-write image may work as well, it would be nice to cut out the burning step.
4. Not also that Diskutil has a converting option. In my tests this did not work, however it could have been my source DMG.
I will stress here the idea of having a clean DMG/Disk. If you have a Leopard disk, I strongly advise creating an image from it in diskutil or possibly CCC.
Step 3: Bust it open!
If you are good with terminal, copy the following file from the mounted image (/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg somewhere so you can work on it (Desktop works well), for those not so good, you can use this terminal command which is useful anyway! I have found that depending on the build version or dmg you have, it may or may not show the folders. If it does show it, you don't have to do this next step.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles True
Killall Finder
Now create a folder called package on the Desktop. Fire up terminal again, navigate to the package folder. You should be at the home directory by default so you can type the following:
cd desktop/package
xar -x -v -f ~/Desktop/OSInstall.mpkg
Step 4: Hack that code!
Now, if you made it here we are getting close. Now, go into the package folder you made. You should see a file called Distribution. Good, back it up somewhere and then open the original with Textedit. You should now see some wonderful code. You want to pay attention to this part of the script (changed to GM version):
var minRam = 512; function checkSupportedMachine(machineType){ // Fail on G3 if (1 != system.sysctl('hw.vectorunit') ) { return false; } var badMachines = ['MacBook3,1','iMac','PowerBook1,1','PowerBook2,1', 'AAPL,Gossamer', 'AAPL,PowerMac G3', 'AAPL,PowerBook1998', 'AAPL,PowerBook1999']; if(machineType){ var length = badMachines.length; // Fail if any of the compatible values match the list of badMachines for( var j = 0; j < length; j++ ){ if(machineType == badMachines[j]){ return false; } } } // require 867Mhz+ if (system.sysctl("hw.cpufrequency") < 866000000) { return false; } return true; }
Now comes the cpu speed.
if (system.sysctl("hw.cpufrequency") < xxx000000) { return false;
Simple changing the false to a true will also work here. And is probably a more elegant solution throughout. I actually think removing the entire section would be the best solution. However, I have not tested this theory. My concern is that something else is there to be sure these things have returned values. Until we get a test on this, I am more inclined to say the section should remain in place, but simply be edited.
You can also edit the RAM and anything else really. Just be sure what you are doing will help you in some way
Now, save the document and exit textedit.
Step 5: Wrap it up
Now we are going to reverse the step 3 by repackaging the altered contents. Hop back into terminal and type the following:
xar -c ./ -v -f ~/Desktop/NewOSInstall.mpkg
Step 6: New mpkg placement
Now that we have a new mpkg, navigate back to the /System/Installation/Packages folder. Rename the old OSInstall.mpkg, I usually do OSInstall.mpkg.old, Finder will ask if you want to append the new extension, say yes. Now, drop in the NewOSInstall.mpkg, rename it to OSInstall.mpkg.
You now have a disc image ready.
I know there have been some problems with this. Admittedly I also had a big problem with this part. My solution was to burn the dmg to DVD, then rip it back. Again, I also think this is largely related to the integrity of the original image you are working with. If you are working with a torrent or slightly modified image, it won't work so well. If you are working with a clean image and or ripping from DVD, the sparseimage should work flawlessly (pending you set permission properly). I am in the process of making this an easier and more clear process.
Step 7: Resizing the image for SL-DVD (optional)
Coming soon!
Step 8: Burn it baby!
Now it is time to burn the image to a DVD. You can do one of two things, burn the sparseimage or make a read only cd master out of the image. I originally made a cdr image, but that didn't work too well. Burning the sparseimage worked best for me. Your mileage may vary. Note though, my DVD burner is a max 4x. (EDIT: I got a new burner, 20x woot!) Anyhow, try the sparseimage out, if that doesn't work try to make a read only image.
You can use diskutil to burn the image.
Step 9: The true test
Now you have the DVD. Lets boot it up. You will know right away whether or not it worked. You will get the message right away. If so, you possibly made a mistake somewhere. Once you get to actual menu to install Leopard you are home free!
Some have been getting kernel panics when the disk is loading, here is what some have said will work.
When I get the GM, I will be sure to see what happens on mine without changing the kexts. Power Mac G4, DP 500, Gigabit.
Edits to come:
Have fun!

wow nice job, cause of you i have a way to install Leopard on my DA 533 (going to be upgraded sometime)
what are your GBE specs ( i know DP 500mhz), and how good does it run.

My specs are:
1GB of RAM PC100, going to go to 1.5GB soon
Radeon 9000 Pro, 64MB, supports Quartz
40GB crappy original hard drive, going upgrade that soon.
DVD Burner 4x (SLOW!!!)
So far it seems fine. I recently got a wired mighty mouse for free, but the side buttons are so freakin sensitive, way more so than my BT mighty mouse. So I keep launching expose and it makes me frustrated!!! Other than that, which has nothing to do with Leopard it seems fine. The Time Machine backup daemon is a monster. Don't plan on doing much when that is going.
I did an archive and install. I think a full install would be better. I don't have the means to do that right now. Maybe this weekend. This also isn't the GM, so that might have an affect.
When I get the final copy next week, I will do this again and report back on the process. Overall though, I think it is great, although I can't wait to get my hands on the final build.
Good luck! If you have questions or problems, please feel free to ask. I am going to try to touch the guide up over the weekend.

I am having a little trouble. According to the directions for Installing xar, I need to go to /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/xar in Terminal, but that directory does not exist. I have /opt/local/bin with no directories in /bin, only some files. How do I install xar?
If it can't be done on a Mac, it's not worth doing!

This may help some
After you install DarwinPorts as well as XCode for the compilers...
type 'sudo port -d selfupdate' in terminal
This will update DarwinPorts
I ran 'sudo port install xar' in the terminal window without specifying a path and it ran fine. It took a while on my iBook G4 800.

Does this approach generally also work with installers for things like iMovie?

There's an easier way that I discovered to edit the Distribution file. Just change "return false" to "return true" and that's it!

|Oct 22, 2007, 07:14 AM
1) Leopard apps use Leopard APIs. So, most of them will not run on Tiger.
2) Certain apps like iMovie refuse to install if you don't have a fast enough computer, even if you have the right OS -- they have all the tools they need to work on that computer except for raw speed.
So I wouldn't expect that you can do anything about (1) short of installing Leopard. I wonder about (2) -- for the small handful of people who are in situations where they feel they can use this software but aren't allowed to....

So close yet......
Thanks Suneohair for posting this solution. I'm almost there but for the life of me I just cant seem to be able to change file names or drop files into the sparse dmg! Steps 1-5 went fine.
Finder reports- The item 'NewOSInstall.mpkg could not be moved because 'Packages' cannot be modified.
I had no problem editing and saving the distribution file but finder will not let me modify names or drop the newOSinstall.mpkg into the /System/Installation/Packages folder. Is there some way to do this from terminal or is there something very simple that I'm missing?
Edit: get info on mounted image says I can read/write.....baffled :-( please help

I just want to thank suneohair for posting this! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to run 10.5 on my old (but still great working) G4, but the guide was awesome. Despite for the little hang up over FreeDMG, everything worked flawlessly and I can happily say I'm typing this on Leopard!
Thanks again! All off us Sub-867 kids owe you BIG TIME!

Home Schooled: The ABCs of Kid Soul
Numero Group
In its classic phase, soul music partook of an exploitation that seems inseparable from the genre's charm. And while soul has always had its teenaged stars—Little Willie John, Carla Thomas, and Michael Jackson come to mind—the Jackson 5's early-'70s success redefined it as bubblegum and motivated a generation of budding performers for whom the innovations of Sly, Jimi, and James Brown existed in cartoon versions. "Time" and "Time After Time," the tracks that close Home Schooled: The ABCs of Kid Soul, recall the prog-rock of Yes and Flash—bands popular around 1972, the same era most of these 17 tracks were recorded. "Time After Time," Milwaukee kid group Step by Step's sole single, boasts Leslie organ and a jazzy, effete lick that's a dead ringer for something by Flash guitarist Peter Banks, while "Time," by Chicago's Otis the 3rd, mentions a trip to Disneyland and shimmers like great summer pop.
Some of these adolescents had stage fathers whose ambitions approached those of Joe Jackson himself, and San Francisco's Man Child Singers benefited from the connections of daddy Merl, who played with Jerry Garcia. Still, lemonade-stand enterprises such as Chicago's Eight Minutes seem sensibly named and prudently abandoned for more lucrative pursuits, given the fascinating banality of Eight Minutes' "Here's Some Dances," which rolls along in self-satisfied, incomprehensible fashion. Home Schooled spells out the childish roots of '70s pop as clearly as one might expect, now that everything has been spoiled by uncool adults who will never understand.

On an overcast afternoon, I walk onto the Anaheim campus of Western High School, a place that looks like your average, ordinary American high school.
The flag team is practicing twirls, groups of students are huddled throughout the main quad, and others are hurrying home with loaded backpacks.
But I'm there to meet four teens who are anything but average or ordinary. They're part of the campus group called Pioneer Outreach Network for Diversity (POND), which was created as part of the Orange County Human Relations Commission's BRIDGES program.
The four students include POND president Eduardo Garcia, an 18-year-old senior who recalls a time not long ago in junior high when he was a kid who was "made fun of."
He admits that he hated junior high, a feeling that a lot of kids can probably relate to. Why hated? He puts it diplomatically: "In junior high I noticed that among the kids there was a lack of openness to respect other people on various levels. Race was an issue."
More bluntly put, students called him names like "dirty Mexican." The first time it happened, he says he was caught off guard.
"I didn't know how to respond. That was the first time I'd ever been called something so hurtful," says Garcia, of Mexican and Peruvian descent.
It's something he never forgot, but rather than ignore it, it inspired him to join POND his sophomore year. Too often, we make the mistake of ignoring problems like this, he says.
"The reason why it was such an issue is because no one cared and no one talked about it," says Garcia.
So talking about "it" is exactly what Garcia and his classmates Tiara Din, Hieu Nguyen, and Natalie Ramirez are working on thanks to BRIDGES, which trains them to give classroom presentations on issues like homophobia, gender inequality and sexual harassment.
"You have to do the presentations to get people to think about it and then care. It's a slow process," says Nguyen.
Alcoholism, stereotypes and apathy are some of the most pressing issues these teens say are facing youth today, but they think that getting past the apathy is one of their greatest challenges.
"I realized that in order for people to care they have to be exposed to situations that are abrasive," says Nguyen, 17. "Then you can start trying to change things, instead of excusing them: 'Oh they don't care therefore they'll never care.'"
BRIDGES has been around 18 years. Originally a crisis-intervention program created in response to a racial incident at El Modena High School in Orange, it has evolved into a voluntary program to improve intergroup relations on school campuses.
Students are trained to use positive peer support to create a school climate that respects society's diversity.

Titans eager to be home after OT loss at Texans
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)
The Tennessee Titans know they only have themselves to blame for not being 2-0 with a win over a division rival to start the season.
They were still disappointed Monday after a 30-24 overtime loss in Houston, knowing they had an 8-point lead with less than 5 minutes left and couldn't finish off the win. But the Titans were also looking for the silver lining in the loss.
"You hope that's the positive we get out of it, that we went toe to toe with a very good team and we came up short," coach Mike Munchak said Monday. "That's obviously not good enough, but we can play with anybody."
And for the next several weeks, they get to prove it at home.
Tennessee plays its next three games at home starting against with the San Diego Chargers on Sunday, followed by visits from the New York Jets and Kansas City.
The Titans, Miami (2-0) and Minnesota (0-2) are the only teams in the NFL to open the season with their first two games on the road.
"To be able to come home to familiar territory where we don't have to travel the day before the game, we can be in a routine for these next three weeks without having ... to travel or go anywhere," said safety George Wilson. "I think that'll give us a lot more confidence going into this stretch."
Still, the Titans know they missed a big opportunity against the two-time defending AFC South champs in Houston. They led 24-16 with 4:59 left with the offense putting together a 99-yard drive for a touchdown and cornerback Alterraun Verner returning an interception for a touchdown.
The Titans had the chance to erase the nine penalties for 70 yards along with a safety early in the fourth quarter set up by two penalties before Chris Johnson was tackled for Tennessee's second safety in as many games. Munchak said Kendall Wright apologized immediately after a celebration penalty that cost the Titans 20 yards in field position on the kickoff after the initial touchdown.
Even after the Texans tied it up at 24, the Titans still had the ball and 1:53 left with the third-most accurate kicker in NFL history in Rob Bironas on the sideline. But Jake Locker overthrew Kenny Britt on third-and-1 with 1:12 left. Munchak said Locker needs to make that throw and that the Titans had the perfect play called against the defense Houston ran.
"We were on the sidelines thinking it had a chance to be a monster play, and we didn't make it," Munchak said.
The Titans never touched the ball again as Houston won the toss, and the defense couldn't make the needed stop. Safety Bernard Pollard called it a humbling loss.
"This is going to help us for later on in the season," Pollard said. "I've been in this position before. It's about the team coming together and saying we're going to make a stand. ... Right now we don't want to feel this way again."
The Titans also allowed Locker to be sacked four times and hit repeatedly. Left guard Andy Levitre, one of the three new starters on the interior of the offensive line, said they know they have a lot they can clean up.
"If we can fix those things, we're only going to be that much better and to know we're not that far off from winning games is encouraging to us," Levitre said.
The Titans need to take advantage of this home stand. After this stretch, they go to Seattle and then host San Francisco before their bye. They wrap up the season with four of six on the road too. With 13 new veterans and seven draft picks, Sunday will be the first home game for plenty of Titans.
"From what I hear it's going to be a great atmosphere," Levitre said.
Notes: Munchak said they are trying to decide if RB Shonn Greene needs more time to heal up his knee or if he might need surgery. Greene was hurt in the opener in Pittsburgh and did not play in Houston. ... DT Sammie Hill had an MRI exam on his right ankle but said he feels better than when he had a similar injury that kept him out four weeks earlier in his career. ... Munchak said WR Damian Williams (hamstring) should return this week.

NEWBERRY — Newberry County Memorial Hospital plans to help you start the year off right with its 2014 Battle of the Bulge weight loss competition.
The competition begins with sign-ups Jan. 6 through Jan. 11 at the hospital's wellness center, located in the atrium professional building next to the hospital. Participants can register from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Another registration location is at the Little Mountain family health care center, 99 North Mill St. in Little Mountain. Registration there will be from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 6 through Jan. 10.
Ralph Baker, employee of the hospital's wellness center and team captain for one of the weight loss groups, said the goal of Battle of the Bulge is to help educate and hold each other accountable for weight loss goals.
The 14-week weight loss competition will include recipes for healthy eating, as well as tips for healthy weight loss, according to Baker.
Although anyone is allowed to participate, Baker said they recommend participants be 16 years of age and older. In the past, Baker said Battle of the Bulge has put participants together in a large group, but that this year, things will be different.
This year, Baker said personalized small groups will be formed, with each group having a trainer to help them along the way. Four coaches are helping train with participants, including two exercise physiologists and two exercise instructors from NCMH, with constant communication with participants in the group.
"It's yourself competing against yourself," Baker said about the competition.
Regular team meetings and weigh-ins will occur each week. Baker said the hope is that participants will attend a minimum of 10 out of the 14 weeks to be eligible for the prizes in the competition.
Baker said the first place prize package will include a massage gift certificate, a fruit basket, 10 30-minute training sessions, and a nine month gym membership at the hospital's wellness center.
Second place prizes include five 30 minute training sessions and six months free gym membership. The third place prize includes a three month free gym membership. Baker said they have not discerned the overall team prize package for the winning team.
"We'll start off big next week and we hope everyone will come out and join us," Baker said.

Author(s): Kingston-Mann, Esther
ISBN 10: 0691004331. See all ISBN's
Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
This ground-breaking work documents Russian efforts to appropriate Western solutions to the problem of economic backwardness since the time of Catherine the Great. Entangled then as now with issues of cultural borrowing, educated Russians searched for Western nations, ideas, and social groups that embodied universal economic truths applicable to their own country. Esther Kingston-Mann describes Russian Westernization--which emphasized German as well as Anglo-U.S. economics--while she raises important questions about core values of Western culture and how cultural values and priorities are determined.
This is the first historical account of the significant role played by Russian social scientists in nineteenth-century Western economic and social thought. In an era of rapid Western colonial expansion, the Russian quest for the "right" Western economic model became more urgent: Was Russia condemned to the fate of India if it did not become an England? In the 1900s, Russian liberal economists emphasized cultural difference and historical context, while Marxists and prerevolutionary government reformers declared that inexorable economic laws doomed peasants and their "medieval" communities. On the eve of 1917, both the tsarist regime and its leading critics agreed that Russia must choose between Western-style progress or "feudal" stagnation. And when peasants and communes survived until Stalin's time, he mercilessly destroyed them in the name of progress. Today Russia's painful modernizing traditions shape the policies of contemporary reformers, who seem as certain as their predecessors that economic progress requires wholesale obliteration of the past.

SPF 45.....PLENTY of it!
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Shoes??? Forget about it!
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Bring sunblock from home or pay a small fortune here! If you are the type to not care too much, I highly suggest bringing along a lidocaine based gel to soothe your poor burning skin! Store it in a refrigerator for greater relief when applying it!
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: If you are vacationing with children, check with the hotel about a beach umbrella. Many vacationers buy them here and leave them for someone else to use. I think it is important for a child to take a break from the sun once in a while. Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll have some sand toys, too!

October Packing List
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: When it comes to the weather in the greater Tampa Bay area, summer is the norm. Make sure you bring clothes for warm weather as you are almost guaranteed several temperate days. Toward the end of October, however, there are a couple days that might actually fool you. On the night before I flew it, it dropped to 62! It was quickly back up to 75 the following day, but make sure you bring a windbreaker just in case for the evenings or a cold day.

Slow Graphics on AMD64 with QUADRO4 980XGL
I've just installed suse9 pro on a 2cpu amd64 machine
with a rioworks rhapsody motherboard and a Quadro4 980XGL.
Everything went well with the install. I then installed the
nvidia driver 5332 which went without a problem.
The machine got rebooted and the nvidia logo screen flashed
up and all went well with the login etc.
Now, my big problem is that when I run glxgears I only get
around 3500 fps. I would have expected a lot more.
Also, I have a commercial viz code which has some performance
tests and I get nothing like the spec other people report with
this card.
I have attached the log file and my config file for anyone to cast
a smart eye over.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Re: Slow Graphics on AMD64 with QUADRO4 980XGL
I have the same prob on the Rioworks HDAMB board.
My graphics is Quadro FX3000G
The problem is that the AGP is not enabled.
Look at your /proc/drivers/nvidia/agp/status
Most likely it says DISABLED.
So the card is running ar PCI speed instead of AGP.
My $3K FX3000G is running slower than my laptop...
Have not managed to find a way to resolve this yet..
Dual Opteron 246
Rioworks HDAMB (Boxx M4.1)
SuSE SLES8
64bit NVIDIA Driver 5332 (latest)

Re: Slow Graphics on AMD64 with QUADRO4 980XGL
first what kernel are you guys using? and are you using nvidia agp or the kernel agpgart?
my suggestion would be to custom compile your kernel with agp and set the option in the XF86config for the nvidia drivers to use the kernel agpgart and recompile the nvidia drivers as well.

Re: Slow Graphics on AMD64 with QUADRO4 980XGL
Can you give me some guidelines as to how to do your
suggestion ?
Also, I tried it with NvAGP set to 1,2 and 3 but with no fix.
The Kernel is 2.4.21-101-smp

Re: Slow Graphics on AMD64 with QUADRO4 980XGL
this was too big to PM you
the first thing I suggest you do is use the 2.6 kernel.
newest agp support is put in the lastest stable always
if you cant get it in a suse package. make sure you have bzip2 installed and download the latest kernel.
then go to what ever directory to extract it using the following command "bunzip2 -ck linux-2.6.4.tar.bz2 |tar xv -C /usr/src" it will extract the kernel in /usr/src under a directory called linux-2.6.4
before you go any further check this web site http://www.minion.de/ for any patches you might need for the nvidia drivers.. I will write the compile options in a few minutes on what you need to compile in the kernel
run "lspci" in a different terminal from the make menuconfig to make a note of the hardware to have so you only compile the needed drivers. most drivers dont say the brand name of the hardware they say the chip number and type you will be picking that out from the driver list.
if you haven't done so go into the linux kernel directory.
run "make menuconfig"
first option
Code maturity level options-->> select it. with the enter key.
put an * (by pressing the spacebar) in Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers
the rest should auto selected
press the right arrow it should select exit and bring you back to the main menu you can always use the right arrow to view the help item of something your selecting
skip "General setup"
choose Loadable module support everything should have an * except "Module versioning support" its not needed
exit back to main menu
choose "Processor type and features " Processor family should be changed to Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8 (selecting things is done by using the spacebar)
Symmetric multi-processing support should be selected in your case
Preemptible Kernel
/dev/cpu/*/msr - Model-specific register support
/dev/cpu/*/cpuid - CPU information support
High Memory Support ( set to to 4GB if you have 1GB-4GB of memory)
Allocate 3rd-level pagetables from highmem
MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support
using "BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive calls determine boot disk" is your choice. however, its not needed.
exit back to main menu
Power management options (ACPI, APM)
you really dont need to use any PM option but lets say you do. enable power managment support
go into ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support
look through the options using hte help on each to dettermine if you want to use any of them. then select them and exit until you reach the main menu.
go to Bus options (PCI, PCMCIA, EISA, MCA, ISA)
just leave everything alone and just make sure Legacy /proc/pci interface in checked and exit back to the main menu
skip Executable file formats
go to " Device Drivers" (this is where agp and the like are set.)
nothing really needs to be changed till you get to block device support even then its optional
if you want to use your kernel as a boot kernel in the future for rescue cds or an boot install kernel ( I use these options because I boot my own custom kernel when doing linux live cds and installs)
Loopback device support
RAM disk support
Initial RAM disk (initrd) support
Support for Large Block Devices
exit to device drivers
if your using IDE hard drives( Sata is in the scsi section)
go into ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support
ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support
Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support
include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support
Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support
generic/default IDE chipset support
note SCSI emulation support is no longer needed for ide cd/dvd burners
exit to device drivers
if you have scsi or Sata
go into "SCSI device support"
legacy /proc/scsi/ support
SCSI disk support
SCSI CDROM support
SCSI generic support
all scsi and sata drivers are located under
SCSI low-level drivers
select the one you need reffer to the lspci command for that
main back device drivers
skip Old CD-ROM drivers (not SCSI, not IDE)
skip Multi-device support (RAID and LVM ( unless your using raid select the correct raid type for that or all if you unsure)
skip Fusion MPT device support
skip IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support ( unlesss you have firewire)
skip I2O device support
skip Macintosh device drivers
go into Networking support
Networking support
Networking options
Packet socket
Unix domain sockets
TCP/IP networking
IP: multicasting
IP: kernel level autoconfiguration
IP: DHCP support
there is wireless option further down hte list otherwise exit back to networking menu
Network device support
Ethernet ( pick the correct driver from the right section again any hardware info you need will come from lspci)
Dummy net driver support ( leave as module)
if your using a modem or dsl with PPPoe select
PPP (point-to-point protocol) support
PPP Deflate compression (NEW)
PPP BSD-Compress compression (NEW)
PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL) (NEW)
read through the other PPP to see if you need them
once done exit back to device drivers
skip ISDN subsystem
skip Telephony Support
go into
Input device support
check anything like ps2 mouse you might need
exit to main menu
go into Character devices
Enhanced Real Time Clock Support
/dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
for you it will be
AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support
Hangcheck timer
exit to device drivers
I2C support
Misc devices
Multimedia devices
Graphics support
go into sound ( if you want it)
Sound card support
Open Sound System
select the right sound driver and exit out to device drivers
then go into USB support
OHCI HCD support
USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
HID input layer support
exit to the main menu and
go into File systems
Second extended fs support
Reiserfs support ( if needed)
if you use a quota system sekect it
CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems
select everything under this section
DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems
if you have an ntfs enable read support but not write it only supports overwritting files of the same size.
exit to main menu then press ESC and save your config.
now run "make clean"
then "make bzImage" (you must match the case thats an upper case i)
it will take 3 to 5 minutes to compile.
then run "make modules"
then "make modules_install"
if you have a backup entry in your boot loader copy the kernel (bzImage located into arch/x86_64/bzImage) to you back up spot and then run lilo or grub. if you are using lilo and did not make a backup entry use the commands "man lilo.conf and "man lilo" to see how
you will not be able to get into X untill after you recompile you nvidia drivers so you need to make sure you patched the drivers correctly if needed) once you've rebooted go into /usr/src and run "ls -l" and linux which directory "linux" is pointing to to remove the sym link "rm -f linux" it will not delete any files then run "ln -s linux-2.6.4 linux" a new sym link should point linux to linux-2.6.4
you config file is saved as .config under the kernel directory (ie /usr/src/linux/.config) which you can copy over to /usr/src/linux-.2.6.5 when it comes out so you dont have to manually select the options again when you run make menuconfig with that kernel.
