Louisianans turn out for Texas hearing on oil refinery emissions
More than 120 people traveled to suburban Houston Tuesday to attend the final public hearing on new EPA rules that govern the amount of cancer-causing chemicals refineries are allowed to emit.
A busload came from Louisiana where more than 200,000 residents live within two miles of a refinery, according to Katie Moore, research analyst for the activist group Louisiana Bucket Brigade.
Moore was one of about 30 people who testified on the proposal. Under the rule, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency would force refineries for the first time to monitor and report emissions of benzene to people who live along the fence line of a refinery.
The Louisiana Bucket Brigade contends it's not enough to monitor for this one chemical. If the rule is adopted as is, Moore said, it will still take years before refineries must adhere to stricter emissions standards.
"We know community members can't wait three years to have a rule implemented and then go through this process again," Moore said. "We need for this rule to be as strong as it possibly can so when it's finally implemented at refineries it makes a real difference in people's lives."
This final hearing within a 60-day comment period was required as part of a lawsuit. The suit argued the EPA waited too long to review and update toxic air standards for refineries. Moore is invigorated by the grassroots activity to get the EPA to reduce hazardous emissions under the Clean Air Act.
"I've just been really blown away by the testimony that's happened at the hearing. I think there's a lot of energy and a lot of momentum to do as much as we can to clean up the air in Louisiana, Texas and across the country," Moore said.
The EPA has until April 2015 to issue a final rule. Comments to the rule change must be received on or before Aug. 29.

+ - GnuTLS Bug Breaks x509 Certificate Validation->
Submitted by mysqlbytes
mysqlbytes writes: Ars are reporting that a bug introduced in GnuTLS, makes it trivial for attackers to bypass SSL and TLS. The bug relates to how the code handles the validation of TLS certificates. The coding error may have been present since 2005, meaning that the blast radius for this bug could be huge. "Attackers can exploit the error by presenting vulnerable systems with a fraudulent certificate that is never rejected, despite its failure to pass routine security checks. The failure may allow attackers using a self-signed certificate to pose as the cryptographically authenticated operator of a vulnerable website and to decrypt protected communications."

Purchasing a kiln might seem overwhelming at first, but the team at Olympic Kilns provides all of the information and support you need from start to finish. Follow the steps below and you'll be firing up your new kiln in no time!
Choosing a Kiln Model
Before all else, do some research to determine which model kiln is best for you. In order to make that decision, consider these three important factors:
- The dimensions (width and height) of the pieces you plan to fire
- The temperature range needed for those pieces
- The type of power and electrical wiring that is available where you plan on putting your kiln
With these three things in mind, browse our electric, gas and glass firing kilns. You can also find a variety of kilns in our catalogues, which list complete pricing and size information. If you're not sure which catalog to start with, take a look at the comprehensive price list for detailed specifications on all types of kilns.
If you would like help choosing the right kiln, be sure to call us at 770-967-4009.
Purchasing a Kiln
Once you have decided which kiln is best for you, you can order it directly from our online store. Select the kiln you would like and choose any accessories or additional options. From there you can add the customized kiln to your cart and complete the checkout process. Alternatively, you can contact an Olympic Kilns dealer found on the Distributors page.
Fill out the warranty registration form to apply for a warranty on your kiln.
Receiving your Kiln
Olympic Kilns packages shipments so that they will not be damaged during delivery. The carrier is responsible for getting the kiln to you, but not for unloading it and transporting it to its intended destination.
If you order a large kiln that requires a loading dock and/or forklift, ensure that you have access to the required equipment. If you do not have access to a forklift or other tools needed to unload the kiln, contact a local moving company to assist you.
For more details on receiving your kiln, read our receiving guide.
Locating and Installing your Kiln
For installation instructions for your specific model, choose your kiln model and click "More Info." You can also read more about installing electric kilns, updraft gas kilns and downdraft gas kilns via our onsite resources.
Though each model will vary, there are some general rules you should follow when installing your kiln:
- Check the dimensions of entryways to ensure that the kiln can fit into the room. If not, contact us to see if we can make modifications to the kiln before it is ordered and built.
- Allow enough space between the wall and your kiln to walk around it in case maintenance is required.
- Remove all flammable materials such as curtains, plastics, etc. from the area around the kiln.
- Ensure there is proper ventilation. Gas kilns in confined areas need an exhaust hood vented to the outside of the building.
- If the kiln is outside, keep it under a roof and/or water-resistant tarp to keep moisture from the kiln.
- Use sheet metal or non-flammable material to shim the legs when leveling the kiln.
- Place the kiln on a concrete floor to avoid heat damage.
Operating and Maintaining your Kiln
The Olympic Kilns website has a wealth of resources available to kiln owners. Read through the operating manual that corresponds to your kiln to confirm that you fire safely and correctly. If you experience issues with your kiln, contact a trusted repair technician.
If you have any questions throughout the process, we will be happy to help. Contact us or call us at 770-967-4009.

Wow, first we told you how Iran wants to sue Argo, now they're just going to come right out and say that Ben Affleck is actually a covert spy working for the CIA, the same agency as his character in the movie and that the film itself is 'a covert operation disguised as a movie… and that its purpose is to convince the American people to go along with Israel's plan to drag America into a war on Iran.' Well look, I could believe you had you said that Gigli was actually a government propaganda mission, because there really is no other explanation for why anyone involved in that thing made it, other than they literally had a gun to their heads from Deep Throat.
Where did Iran get this information from? If you look at the original article, the source is harder to follow than the ones the American diplomats have to take from the Canadian Ambassador's house in Argo. But it looks like a combination of conspiracy theorists and crackpots. So fear not, Affleck isn't shooting off to assassinate the Prime Minister of Malaysia anytime soon. He'll be right here, where we want him, filming a cameo in Clerks 3 (blechh). Remember when film spies just shagged a lot of women and attended swingin' beach parties? Check out the gallery for our favorite 60s spies who still have a better chance of being actual agents than Affleck.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Willa is lucky. She has a happy familyMom, Jack, her stepsisters Brooke and Alyssa, and Willaall living together in peace and contentment. But a frantic phone call from her mother's best friend from her hometown of Pryor, Texas, shatters that calm and stability. Willa's birth father has murdered his second wife and two daughters and the police think he is on his way east to find Willa and her mother.
Questions abound as Willa realizes that her mother has held on to many secrets. As those secrets begin to spill out, Willa is compelled to seek the truth about the family she never knew existed. In dusty Pryor, away from the peaceful home life shed always known, Willa begins to find her roots and question the meaning of blood ties. Only by looking at all of the pieces that make up her life can Willa discover her strength and independenceand realize what family ties really mean.
"The protagonists of Pfeffer's novels The Dead and the Gone and Life As We Knew It join forces in this third installment of a harrowing saga set in the not so distant future. A year after the moon was thrown off course by a meteor, natural disasters and climate changes on Earth are still making mere existence a challenge. Miranda's family is barely scraping by on food rations when Miranda's father, stepmother, their baby, and three other refugees show up unexpectedly. Despite there now being more mouths to feed, Miranda's mother welcomes them, and Miranda finds herself falling in love with Alex, one of the refugees, as they spend hours together, scavenging abandoned houses for essentials. Pfeffer masterfully evokes the cold, colorless world in which her characters reside. Moments of relief are frequently tinged with horror, as when Miranda and Alex must bypass a rotting corpse to get to a horde of food. Still, hope is never completely extinguished. Throughout, readers will be moved by displays of compassion, strength, and faith as characters endure grim realities and face an uncertain future. Ages 12 — up." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
The struggle for survival continues in this heart-wrenching companion to "Life as We Knew It" and "The Dead & The Gone."
The highly anticipated follow-up to Life As We Knew It and The Dead and the Gone
Willa is lucky: She has a loving blended family that gets along. Not all families are so fortunate. But when a bloody crime takes place hundreds of miles away, it has an explosive effect on Willas peaceful life. The estranged father she hardly remembers has murdered his new wife and children, and is headed east toward Willa and her mother.
Under police protection, Willa discovers that her mother has harbored secrets that are threatening to boil over. Has everything Willa believed about herself been a lie? As Willa sets out to untangle the mysteries of her past, she keeps her own secretone that has the potential to tear her family apart.
Its been a year since a meteor collided with the moon, catastrophically altering the earths climate. For Miranda Evans, life as she knew it no longer exists. Her friends and neighbors are dead, the landscape is frozen, and food is increasingly scarce.
The struggle to survive intensifies when Mirandas father and stepmother arrive with a baby and three strangers in tow. One of the newcomers is Alex Morales, and as Mirandas complicated feelings for him turn to love, his plans for his future thwart their relationship. Then a devastating tornado hits the town of Howell, and Miranda makes a decision that will change their lives forever.

Fellow Americans' suspicions frustrate US Muslims
NEW YORK Nine years of denouncing terrorism, of praying side-by-side with Jews and Christians, of insisting "I'm American, too." None of it could stop a season of hate against Muslims that made for an especially fraught Sept. 11. Now, Muslims are asking why their efforts to be accepted in the United States have been so easily thwarted.
"We have nothing to apologize for, we have nothing to fear, we have nothing to be ashamed of, we have nothing that we're guilty of - but we need to be out there and we need to express this," said Imam Mohammed Ibn Faqih in a sermon at the Islamic Institute of Orange County in Anaheim, Calif., the day before the 9/11 anniversary.
There is no simple way for American Muslims to move forward.
Images of violence overseas in the name of Islam have come to define the faith for many non-Muslims at home. The U.S. remains at war in Afghanistan, and although America has formally declared an end to its combat operations in Iraq, U.S. troops there continue to fight alongside Iraqi forces.
Within the U.S., domestic terror has become a greater threat, while ignorance about what Islam teaches is widespread. More than half of respondents in a recent poll by the Pew Forum for Religion & Public Life said they knew little or nothing about the Muslim faith.
Some U.S. Muslims say their national organizations share the blame, for answering intricate questions about Islam with platitudes, and failing to fully examine the potential for extremism within their communities. Muslim leaders often respond when terrorists strike by saying Islam is a "religion of peace" that has no role in the violence instead of confronting the legitimate concerns of other Americans, these Muslim critics say.
"There's a quaintness and naivete or outright whitewashing of some very complex issues," said Saeed Khan, who teaches at Wayne State University in Detroit. "This has caused a lot of frustration for a lot of Muslim Americans, myself included."
The summer frenzy about Islam in America has revolved around Park51, a community center and mosque planned two blocks from New York's ground zero. Opponents and supporters of the center converged on the area for protests and counter-protests Saturday after the morning memorial ceremony at the World Trade Center site.
In recent months, mosques in Tennessee, California, New York and elsewhere have been shot at and vandalized. Threatening messages were left at one mosque. A Florida pastor caused a global uproar with his ultimately unfulfilled threat to make a bonfire of Qurans on Sept. 11.
Many Jewish, Roman Catholic, mainline Protestant, evangelical, atheist and other groups have responded with an outpouring of support for Muslims, but suspicion remains high among many Americans.
Islamic centers have become a focus of non-Muslim fears. Federal authorities have placed informants in mosques, saying doing so is a critical counterterrorism tool. Muslim groups have separately created national campaigns encouraging congregations to monitor for any sign of radicalization, but they have also complained bitterly about the use of informants, worried the innocent will be caught up in the net police have set for criminals.

When appending to a
std::vector<std::unique_ptr<X>> you cannot just say
v.push_back(new X), because there is no implicit conversion from
X* to
A popular solution is to use
v.emplace_back(new X) because that compiles (
emplace_back constructs an element in-place from the arguments, and so can use
explicit constructors).
However this is not safe. If the vector is full and needs to reallocate memory that could fail and throw a
bad_alloc exception, in which case the pointer will be lost and will never be deleted.
The safe solution is to create a temporary
unique_ptr that takes ownership of the pointer before the vector might try to reallocate:
v.push_back(std::unique_ptr<X>(new X))
(You could replace
push_back with
emplace_back but there is no advantage here because the only conversion is explicit anyway, and
emplace_back is more typing!)
In C++14 you should just use
std::make_unique and it's a non-issue:

Each and every Springboro parent and concerned citizen should take a half hour out of their busy lives to read through this...
Could it be Springboro schools is just another Ohio school districts that has been victimized by low sets of standards being set for our school children? Is it possible that Boro's "Excellent with Distinction" designation amounts to not a lot more than some really nice banners to hang, and a nice perennial back rubbing from Columbus?
#23221 Jan 29, 2013
A student can go through a whole semester taking an AP course to at the end have a score on the AP National exam that does not get them out of a college course. If students get a score of 3 and the college they are going to require a 4 or 5 on the test they don't actually get out of anything. Why waste the whole semester taking a course at the HS when you could take one at a college and know for certain you are not going to be wasting your time?
Our scores on these AP exams is another reason Springboro did not score well on the US News report. It sounds like lots of kids don't pass out of college courses when they take AP courses due to some low scorers.
These kids take AP courses to test out of college courses. I would like to see a study or do a tracking to see how many actually got out of a college course by testing out of it on the AP exam.
My guess is that AP course work is not getting them out of college as much as taking the course at college would.

PSEO cost the district $60K this year.
We could have helped a lot of our "failing" kids with that money!

Let's take a look at last year's graduating class of Dennis and Five Points Elementary, Boro's class of 2019.
May 2012 Ohio Achievement Assessment
Springboro Community City Schools
Grade 5
(please see page 12)
A 5th grader needs to answer 25 out of 49 questions correctly (a minimum cut score of 51%) in order to be "Proficient".
Last year, OVER HALF!... 52.3% of Dennis and Five Points 5th graders (249 students) tested "proficient", or lower than the "proficient" cut score of 51%.
A 5th grader needs to answer 25 out of 52 math problems correctly (a minimum cut score of 48%) in order to be "Proficient".
Last year, almost one-third 31.4% of Dennis and Five Point 5th graders (147 students) tested "proficient", or lower than than the "proficient" cut score of 48%.
If almost 1/3 of today's sixth graders struggle to keep up with math and over 50% of them have difficulty with reading, how will a lot of these kids cope beginning next year when they'll be confronted with a much more difficult cirriculum that has been mandated by the state of Ohio?
#23225 Jan 30, 2013
Now that we all have read the Grading on a Curve document that everyone is pasting on here - what are you suggesting we do? What recommendations are you making to improve Springboro school district? Are the common core standards going to get us where you think we should be?
There has been posting after posting about the cut scores and how bad Springboro is doing but I've seen no specifics from anyone as to how to improve.
#23226 Jan 30, 2013
The first thing we need to do is disabuse ourselves of the notion that we are the best thing since sliced bread. We have some deep systemic issues that need to be dealt with in this community in regards to educating our children.
1) We need to realistically evaluate where our deficiencies exist, both inside and outside the classroom. Education is not a drop your child off for 7 hours and they return educated. It involves the parents backing up and supporting the teachers at home, Requiring and helping with homework to make sure it is done. Not all parents are created equal, so we need to make sure that the parents have the resources to learn the material being taught so they can help the children learn. There seems to be a need for a study island for parents who wish to help their children but have been away from school for many years.
2) Just like there are no two children who are alike in their abilities, we need to recognize that teachers are much the same. Not all teachers are created equal, some are excellent, some are good, some are mediocre, and some are bad. Nodding our head at the union mantra that all teachers are excellent is a bit too Animal Farm for me. Let us begin to call a spade a spade and utilize our resources in house to bring those less talented up to speed or show them the door. The ones paying the price for mediocre or less ability are the very ones we are here for, the children.
3) Raising the standards by which we choose to operate and then enforcing those standards will pay huge dividends for all involved, from administrators, to teachers, to parents, to children, to taxpayers. We are not condemned to troll the base standards that the state employs, we are perfectly free to aim so much higher.
4) Real achievement that can be measured and quantified. While some may call that teaching to the test, I call that basic knowledge required to function productively in this society. Feasting on semantics to cover up failure is no substitute for actual learning and academic achievement. Rote learning of your math tables may seem boring, but the results are undeniable. Build self esteem with actual accomplishment, not with a false Honor Society where the top 70% of your class is recognized as deserving that accolade.
5) Recognize that not all children learn in the same environment and realize that other choices may be necessary. Some may thrive under a more rigorous discipline setting, while different children wilt under the same authority. Build programs that allow parents the choice of where their child should attempt to succeed.
6) We are not fated to repeat the past in hopes of gaining an alternate ending. We are free to reinvent the system, let us grasp this opportunity and move both our school district and our children forward now.
7) Speak up against the status quo and demand true excellence throughout the school district. Only the vox populi can stem this tide of mediocrity.
#23227 Jan 30, 2013
Just Watching, you certainly like to write your thoughts but as usual there is actually no plan in what you wrote. No specifics, how is any of this going to be accomplished (especially with no budget).
1) Good ideas how are they accomplished? Should we have more parent-teacher conferences? Better websites for classes/teachers/subjects? How do you make parents better parents?
2) I dont know anyone that would say all teachers are great/excellent although from your point #1 It involves the parents backing up and supporting the teachers at home. Good point. Whether you like the teacher or not, you need to help your students at home. FYI, bashing the unions isnt helping the students.
3) How is this done? Do we use different tests? Do we test prior to the State tests to make sure we are doing better? This is a good idea but again, how do you do it? Who will be the one to identify what standards need to be raise and how it can be accomplished. Im looking for specifics, not generalities.
4) What are you suggesting that the students spend more time on their math tables maybe a good idea. What else? FYI, 70% of students are not in the Honor Society (its closer to about 10%).
5) I agree. What environments are you suggesting? STEM, Arts, Language, hands-on learning? Who identifies these learning environments and how are they funded, taught, etc.?
6) Again lots of pretty words with absolutely no beef behind it. If you want to use your words for good then come up with specific things that this school can do (with basically no budget to do it).
7) Takes a village!

Does the OEA encourage teachers to indoctrinate Ohios Kids?
Is the OEA monthly newsletter to teachers posted on public websites?
Do we parents know what our children are learning from teacher unionists, who believe along with the OEA, that teachers should not only be members of a labor union, but also should indoctrinate our children on unionism?
As the OEA dictates teachers in their monthly newsletter,Its essential that they not only be teacher unionists, but teachers of unionism. We need to create a generation of students who support teachers and the movements of teachers for their rights.
How about they focus on just teaching our kids the core skills they will need in math, reading, writing, and science? How about they leave their political ideology and unionism out of the classroom? As the National Assessment of Educational Progress results show, more than half of Americas 8th graders fail basic civics tests. Clearly, our teachers have enough to do already.
The OEA needs to keep its left-wing views outside of the classroom and its hands off our kids curriculum. This type of indoctrination isnt a surprise coming from a group with a leader who once boldly admitted it was more concerned with getting more power than the best interest of our kids.
#23230 Jan 30, 2013
The worst part of this indoctrination dictate is that it involves a captive audience that lacks the knowledge and power to challenge what they are being brainwashed to believe. The OEA does not even attempt to be responsible about its desire to create a Union Youth---they encourage teachers to aim this message at children as young as the 4th grade. The OEA approvingly recommends a website that aims to inform children (grades 4-7) on current news and world events from a progressive perspective, and to inspire a passion for social justice and learning.
#23231 Jan 30, 2013
Inquiring Minds, can you provide the link?
#23232 Jan 30, 2013
This progressive website for 10 year olds contains links on the main page titled Bush Wanted Abroad and Global Warming Causes Snow. The Bush Wanted Abroad article consists of this reporting gem:In February, former President George W. Bush canceled a trip to Switzerland to avoid being arrested for human rights abuses. Bush admitted to allowing the torture of prisoners held by the Untied States. This is a violation of international law. There are now several countries in which Bush may be arrested if he enters them. Nice objective news for a 10 year old to read, right?
#23233 Jan 30, 2013
Resource links for teachers can include a link to Radical Math. The Radical Math website thinks that teaching math should be overtly political and teachers should include propaganda about social justice into math lessons. So, the days of trains leaving Chicago traveling 55 miles per hour are over. Our kids apparently will now do math problems about the death penalty, global warming, enhanced interrogation techniques, and the greedy rich.
#23234 Jan 30, 2013
How many this year?
#23235 Jan 30, 2013
1) You can't make all parents better, but the ones who do want the help will certainly take advantage of whatever is offered. If we are able to reach more parents and make them aware of the resources we have at hand through say a combination of old fashion notes sent home, phone calls, emails, or texts, then more will move in the direction that benefits all. Communication is the key, just as it is in so many endeavors.
I like many of your suggestions and quick brainstorming in this section. That kind of free thinking, when applied over a community, will almost certainly develop the winning strategy to accomplish our goals.
2) Listen to the union mantra, its Animal Farm on steroids.
3) I would suggest utilizing existing tests from an international level. After all, that is who our children will be competing against in the future. The international tests far exceed the state tests so our bases would be covered from a state level.
4) Classes devoted to learning how to learn. These may seem rather silly but the main reason employers like to hire college graduates is because they have demonstrated the ability to learn.
Developing an ongoing program that builds year upon year, we would take what is assumed to be a universal skill and turn it into an actual skill set weapon that can be employed now and in the future.
Learning how to learn is when the light bulb goes on in a student's mind and they finally get what we have been talking about.
5) As I said, all children are different and we are free to reinvent the wheel here. From traditional books, to multimedia, to home learning, to rigid programs of study to free wheeling exchanges of ideas, we are not chained to the past.
6) We have plenty of money, it is a matter of how we deploy that particular asset to its best use.
You appear to have rather open and inquisitive mind, what would you do? Ask that question of enough people and plans begin to develop.
7) It doesn't really take a village, it takes a few lonely souls to stand up and be counted for a change.
Neither I, nor anyone else, have all the answers or even a fraction of them. Collectively, however, our individual experiences and knowledge when brought together gives us something that can become great. Our Founding Fathers spent years honing a constitution, great works require great effort.
Are you in or are you out?

The Death Of Common Sense
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair; and
- Maybe it was my fault..
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers:
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim
Not many attended his funeral because
so few realized he was gone..
If you still remember him, pass this on.
If not, join the majority and do nothing.

NVidia framebuffer driver to replace vesafb
I'm currently using the UNaccelerated vesafb driver that is in the Linux kernel. My grub kernel line:
kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hda3 hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi vga=0x346 video=vesa:mtrr,ywrap:1600x1200@60
Now I was wondering if it would be possible for NVidia to provide a driver to replace this generic console driver and make it possible to use all resolutions and colordepths that are also available in XFree86 and provide accelerated graphics for us console lovers? I can only run 1600x1200@16 bits atm, and that was a pain to find out (no decent docs available anywhere on the web at the time)
There is atm the rivafb driver which does some acceleration, but it won't swallow my Geforce2 GTS let alone more recent cards. This is a concern for me, which I would like to see resolved so I can buy a replacement videocard and know that it is being put in full service and not that it is idling on some oldschool unaccelerated vesa thingies.
Hopefully, such a driver in the kernel can also fix a problem I've been having, that changing between XFree and console messes things up badly when running a framebuffer application, because now it keeps resulting in me doing a reboot to reinitialize and fix things.
I would like to know if such a driver is planned or if it is already being developed (I'm sure you will have thought of similar things a thousand times already:P)
Nvidia framebuffer
Yes please Nvidia!
Would love to be able to use the features of my MX420 and 440 in framebuffer console.
since i registered here i am trying to find a solution for your problem. i realy love the console, but i can only run it at a max of 640x480 .. and this is realy ugly on my 19" screen. i am using lilo and i will try to use your settings.. i hope it will work :) we ll see
but now the main problem: i dont see any experenced people here in the linux section.. i think they dont care about us..
WHAT CAN WE DO TO CONTAKT A MOD or AN ADMIN here in the linux forum?
start a new thread in the open forum???
i think i ll do this if i cant find a solution soon
If all you want is a nice, big text mode (e.g. 192x60@70Hz) you could try using a patched version of SVGATextMode. See here:
:confused: Hi
I'm sure I read somewhere, SVGATextMode is no longer being developed.
Re: NVidia framebuffer driver to replace vesafb
I for one am more than satisfied with the drivers nVidia supply for X-windows, have had no problems with any of thier driver. Keep up the good work.
X-windowing system is a great piece of kit, for those who utilise all its facilities, but there are people using thier computers to just read e-mails, surf the web, write letters etc; in other areas where people are restricted to old/low resource hardware i.e. schools, X then becomes overkill and is too resource hungry.
I have two machines at home:
Machine A has Athlon 2200+, nVidia GForce4 64Mb, vesafb.
Machine B has Pentium 200, 3Dfx Voodoo2 16Mb, tdfxfb.
and have compiled the demo app that comes with TrollTech's Qt-Embedded (that uses the framebuffer only) and the app runs faster and smoother on Machine B. Just think how fast that app would run on Machine A if it had an nVidiafb, and ribx could have better resolution on his/her 19" monitor.
Thaks for listening, sorry, reading.
We need framebuffer support ! Could you at least release the 2D specs of your chips so we get a decent framebuffer module ?
Actually it just make our computers crash :/
Re: NVidia framebuffer driver to replace vesafb
Have there been any answers on this yet as it is what i am looking for as im looking at XDirectFB instead of XFree/Xorg
Re: NVidia framebuffer driver to replace vesafb
I spend lots of time staring at VTs (using vesafb) and would appreciate the ability to control refresh rates in high resolution modes above all else (I find the speed adequate). There is no way to do this that I am aware of -- you get 60Hz. Unfortunately.. since the vesafb module is initialized very early in the kernel I believe such support from nvidia may require some level of bootstrapping in the mainline kernel at least -- they could not release a driver that would handle 2/3D accelerated framebuffers without part of the code being included in the kernel it is to run on. Comments?
Update: Yes it takes code active at kernel boot.. but VTs can be run in higher refresh rates with vesafb.
Here's the thread where I found out how, and got the patches -- Gentoo forums to the rescue once again. Updated patches are linked from the very end, page 9 right now. This still works with the nVIDIA driver just fine -- no its not the accellerated solution others would like.
Re: NVidia framebuffer driver to replace vesafb
I think NVIDIA should change the driver architecture on Linux such that the X specific stuff will be based on a kernel mode driver that also could be used by a NVIDIA-specific framebuffer device. This will avoid problems most people currently have with the open source rivafb driver, and all graphics stuff could be based on a common architecture. Other OSes (like e.g. Solaris) already do this: They have a good framebuffer driver, and X just sits on top of it. Why should it be so hard to do that on Linux?
Re: NVidia framebuffer driver to replace vesafb
Thats down to the kernel devs and distro developers, SuSE works and other are fine so why would is be upto nvidia for a framebuffer?

Already smart on crime
Washington long ago adopted alternatives to prison for minor offenders
Our prison cells have long been inhabited primarily by those convicted of sex offenses and violent crimes.
In prosecutors' offices across this state, we long ago adopted innovative, smart and efficient programs like drug courts, diversion programs, and other alternatives to prison or jail for relatively low-level offenders. In doing so, leaders like our own U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan; King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg; my predecessor, Janice Ellis; and dozens of prosecuting attorneys across this state, including myself, have pioneered, piloted, practiced and passed on what they've learned to others in our profession. As a result, the truth is that few first-time nonviolent or drug offenders are sent to prison in our state, and it's been that way for some time.
My concern is that the Attorney General's comments might mislead folks into believing Washington state's prisons really are filled with the comparative small fry he referred to. They are NOT.
Current Washington state prison populations reflect that approximately 75 percent of Washington inmates are there for violent crimes, sex offenses, or for victimizing a child. Having spent much of my 27 year career handling almost exclusively those types of cases, I offer no apology for long prison sentences. I frankly wish some were longer.
Another 13 percent of Washington inmates are "in" for property crimes like breaking into your house, or stealing your identity and destroying your credit, though it usually takes multiple convictions to get to prison for those non-violent crimes. A mere 8.7 percent (down from 26 percent in 1993) of Department of Corrections inmates are serving time for drug offenses, usually either after racking up many such offenses, dealing or manufacturing, or providing illegal drugs to children.
The AG's sensible call was for this country to stop sending relatively low-level, first-time offenders to prison for many years. Here in this state, though, as you can see, we pretty much stopped doing that years ago. The general law-abiding public usually has no opportunity or desire to learn such demographic details of the state's prison population, and therefore might understandably assume that the United States attorney general was speaking for prosecutors everywhere. He wasn't. Nor could he be expected to be up-to-date on what individual states or counties were doing across the broad expanse that is America.
Like the old EF Hutton TV commercials, though, when someone like the attorney general for the whole United States talks, people listen. Because the AG says we are incarcerating too many minor offenders, some may believe that it must be happening all over. For the most part, though, it isn't happening here; at least not this century.
Unfortunately, perpetuating the myth that all our prisons are full of small-time offenders is somehow strangely comforting to many, and some seize any opportunity to bash "the system." It gives them another chance to express their outrage at a faceless government bureaucracy that they already believe is screwing everything up and wasting their money. On top of that, it fosters the fantasy that adequately funding the criminal justice system would be easy (like the big red button from Staples) if we just quit locking up all the wrong folks.
Then we could get busy doing all the stuff we ought to be doing, and without raising taxes! It's a perfect solution, and genius in its simplicity. Except that we cannot achieve any substantial savings in Snohomish County or Washington state by releasing first-time nonviolent and drug offenders from prison, because we generally aren't sending them there to begin with. So few of them, in fact, that Washington state overall ranks 44th out of 50 states in our overall incarceration rate. Only 6 states use prison at rates lower than we do, yet Washington has still seen significant decreases in violent and sexual offenses. That's the good news, because though we can always do better, clearly we are doing something right in reserving our limited prison space for the most serious and repeat offenders.
In my office, we began participating in drug court many years ago and have repeatedly expanded it to help get addicts off drugs and stop cycling them in and out of custody. Since well before I began my career here in 1986, we have treated most first-time offenders who possess small amounts of illegal drugs in a way that allows them to avoid the stigma of a felony and addresses their drug problem. We continuously explore different approaches, and last year created Therapeutic Alternatives to Prosecution (TAP) as a way to also divert many other nonviolent offenders away from the treadmill of incarceration.
We participate in a misdemeanor mental health court, and a drug court for juveniles. Even for many drug offenders who are sentenced to prison, we have treatment-based sentencing alternatives. Still, I bet most people would agree that violent criminals, sex offenders, and drunk drivers deserve a much sterner stance, and have to be held accountable. That often means punishment -- and being locked up. We do our best at that, too.
The job of protecting the community has gotten continually harder since 2008. We have seen our Snohomish County deputy prosecutor positions cut in half (from 14 to 7) in the unit that prosecutes drunk drivers, and generally had to cut everywhere in our office except our Special Assault Unit. (Prosecuting sex offenses and crimes against children is the very last place we will cut.) As a result of the recession, we have far fewer people to review, charge and try cases, and are generally outnumbered by defense attorneys with caseloads much lower than ours.
I have confidence that this year our county executive and council will do what they can to help level the playing field a bit, because they know safe roads and communities are the single most important duty of county government. They also know that, like Jenny Durkan's and Dan Satterberg's offices, here in my office we have long been prioritizing offenders and prison space in the very way Attorney General Holder now wants to emulate in the other Washington and across the county.
We don't always get it right, and even when we do, virtually every decision a prosecutor makes still angers at least someone. I am writing this to let you know that in terms of who we are sending to prison and who we aren't, I think we are getting that one "right," and I wish Attorney General Holder every success in his "new" approach. We think it has worked well for us.
Mark Roe is the Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney.

Are their school colors now Ketchup, Mustard and Death?
What did uni watch have to say I'm sure there was nothing good about these they look terrible. These schools must know they look ridiculous right?
The only two I approve of are the Black/Black and the White/White. Everything else sucks. Under Armour should just stick to lacrosse jerseys, these might make better lax jerseys anyways. But this is like Oregon 2.0. God I would hate to see what their retro jerseys look like.
Maryland doesn't have uniforms; it has the closet of a 15-year old girl who has a bizarre affection for red, yellow, and black.
Ugly ass uniforms aside, that turtle shell helmet is pretty badass
I guess if you can't play good football, the only way to make up for it is to look really, really stupid.
They look like a women's team: in a Las Vegas bordello.
Even the Cy-Hawk trophy sculptor is laughing at these....
This sort of reminds me of the Padres uniforms in the early 80s. You would look at them and think that the designer was inspired by someone evacuating after a spicy meal....
The all-lowercase lettering, the crazy color scheme, the white shoes -- it all added up to the unique design that Steve Garvey once said made him "look like a taco."
As a designer myself, all I can say is 'wow.'
The thing that stands out to me the most is those gradient numbers... We've seen Nike play with them for awhile (on Boise St's Pro Combat jersey this year, in fact), but these just aren't handled that well, especially on the red jersey where they invert from negative to positive on the same background.
In other words, from about the 10th row that '59' is gonna look like 'CO.' Yeesh.
when Maryland came to the Big House?
I've had a rethink on this, I commend Maryland for fitting in all 4 school colors, thats hard to do. But overall the design and presentation is just hideous.
I remember on of their fans chanting "beat the spread, beat the spread" in the 4th quarter.
NASCAR ratings and attendance has suffered for the past three or four years. This undoubtedly is a reflection of the poor economy but some have speculated that the fact that teams change sponsors and paint schemes on an almost race-to-race basis has made the events more difficult to watch because it is difficult for the average fan to know if their favorite driver was passed by Dale Jr., Cousin Carl, or Rowdy Busch at a glance. A confused fan isn't going to tune in long. I can see this as an issue for a school like Maryland who isn't known for having a strong football program and likely doesn't have a strong fan base.
If a casual fan is flipping through the channels he may flip right on past the Maryland game because he doesn't recognize the uniforms. Similarly, a casual fan may lose interest after cheering for the wrong team when they play other red, black, or yellow teams.
These aren't uniforms in the classic sense of the term. Maybe multiforms?
Sorry, posted from MgoDroid.
They kind of remind me of the uni's that an obnoxious team in Any Given Sunday would wear.
or the Duluth franchise in the Arena Football League.
Have you seen Georgia's PRO COMBAT set yet...? Might give these a run for their money.
PS: Hear that? That's the sound of me being too lazy to go find a link.
They screwed up a perfectly good uniform. I thought their helmets were actually pretty cool before, but now they're pieces of crap. Sigh...
Those garbage uniforms looks like something from the XFL. Where's McMahon when you need him.
Has anyone noticed the following of teams like UM and Alabama, who's jerseys are plain, simple, and timeless. That's branding - I don't know what Georgia and Maryland are trying to pull.
I have to agree with you, I've always thought that UM, Penn State, and ND's uniforms were most classic uniforms in the game. No obnoxious logos on the helmets, and the jerseys and pants are simple.
... umm.... the helmet stripe? (They do have the coolest state flag, might as well encorporate that design somewhere--the helmet stripe gets an "A")
These unis need more cowbell... I mean, yellow. /s The more I look at 'em, the more I think that they are "ok" if you just get rid of the yellow jersey and switch yellow pants for red or black with maybe a TINY bit of yellow.

DaKine Drafter
Where to Buy

Manufacturer's Description
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
Odds are decent you won't need a ton of extra layers when you're spending the day pounding Moab singletrack, but you will need to stay hydrated under that raging sun, which is the name of the Dakine Drafter Pack's game. It has room for a windbreaker, but its bread and butter is the three-liter Shape-Loc hydration reservoir, which holds enough juice to keep your gullet moistened during long summer rides. The Drafter also boasts an absurd number of pockets, from a padded phone pocket to a fleece-lined sunglasses pocket to a pump sleeve to three more internal organizers, which can hold tubes, snacks, sunscreen, hex keys, a map, and then some. There's also a carrying system on the back for a full-face or XC helmet and a rescue whistle on the sternum strap if you end up miles from anywhere and need to signal a friendly rescue lizard.

CLOSEOUTS . Make long rides easier with DaKine's Drafter hydration pack, which keeps you well hydrated and prepared for anything with an included 3-liter hydration reservoir, a helmet and armor carry system, and a spacious main compartment with tons of organizing features. Available Colors: CHARCOAL, HOUNDSTOOTH, RIVER ROCK, SHEBA, SKYLAR, DOTS, OLIVE, ANNABELLE.
- Sierra Trading Post
Whether you're heading out to bomb the mountain, or just for an afternoon on the trails, grab the Dakine Drafter Bik Pack. With a 70-ounce Nalgene reservoir, this pack keeps you hydrated while you climb, and the insulated reservoir pocket ensures you don't take a sip of nasty warm water. Stash your pump, tools, and tubes in the multiple gear sleeves, and protect your MP3 and sunglasses with the two padded, fleece-lined pockets. The main compartment stores your extra layers, and the armor carry straps hold your shin guards while you make your way to the top of the mountain. The helmet carry stores your full-face or regular brain bucket when it's not in use.
- Backcountry Outlet
Sized for half- to all-day trips on burly mountain bike trails, the women's rugged DAKINE Drafter Hydration Pack includes a 100 fl. oz. reservoir and enough room for snacks and small extras.

Green Corps has 8,000 Eco Clubs with 6 lakh students
HYDERABAD: The Students Environmental Congress conducted by the A.P. National Green Corps across the State will begin on July 24. After school and division level, the State-level activity has been scheduled from August 17 to 22.
According to APNGC Director W.G. Prasanna Kumar the participating schools will come out with environmental activities and the best institutions at district level will get an opportunity to represent at the State-level. At present the NGC has established more than 8,000 Eco Clubs with around 6 lakh students spread over 16,500 schools.
Green Network, an online programme to document experiences of teachers in the environmental cause has also been launched. "It is a network where NGC Green Teachers can share the school environment activities taken up by them with others," he says.
From this year, these teachers promoting the NGC Eco Club activities in the schools will be provided a small monthly honorarium of Rs.100. The school level environmental activities of these clubs include management of water, bio-diversity, energy and land use.
As part of World Environment Day on June 5, the NGC this week is organising various activities for students from summer camps. On Tuesday, participating children presented a series of cultural activities at Indira Priyadarshini Auditorium highlighting the status of environment and stressing the need to preserve it.

2013 ITA National Indoors Tournament - Seattle, WA (Feb 15-18)
I'm opening this thread for general discussion of the ITA indoors, but more specifically, I'm soliciting any requests for questions/comments/whatever about player gear. I'll be stringing the event, and I'm willing to take measurements/provide tension/string information IF a frame comes through my (or my team's) hands.
I am also seeing if I'll be able to live stream some of the event (the stringing "room") if anyone's interested, please let me know.
Since this is a general discussion thread, please title your gear related posts with [GEAR] in the subtitle when you post, so I can search and respond quickly/easily.
Note: Not all teams string through the host stringers, and there are two sites, only one of which (hopefully) I will be working at. Some teams never actually go through my site, but if anyone's REALLY interested, I can try to get the records from the other site.
Edit: Best I can do is tension/weight/balance readings.

A yearslong bitter legal battle between NBA star Dwyane Wade and his ex-wife is heating up again. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Siohvaughn Funches-Wade filed a lawsuit Tuesday alleging that Wade is violating the terms of an agreement that requires his endorsement deals be fully deposited into a joint account they both control. Wade's attorney, James Pritikin, says the lawsuit has no merit and expects it to be dismissed. He says it mischaracterizes the court order concerning the joint account, but wouldn't elaborate. The lawsuit is the latest chapter in a bitter custody and divorce battle that played out for years between Funches-Wade and Wade, a Chicago-area native who plays for the Miami Heat. In 2011, Wade was awarded sole custody of his and Funches-Wade's two sons.

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act or Act), which was signed into law on April 5, 2012, could improve substantially the fundraising prospects for private funds. Elimination of the prohibition against general solicitation and general advertising will increase exposure for private funds and, consequently, the pool of prospective investors. Although the JOBS Act and rules to be adopted in connection with the Act will in some ways revolutionize private offerings, it is important for private funds to keep in mind the restrictions on U.S. private offerings that are unaffected by the JOBS Act.
General partners, managers and sponsors of private funds often struggle with the prohibition against general solicitation and general advertising as they raise new capital. Non-U.S. private funds, in particular, which may not be subject to similar restrictions under local law, must navigate gingerly around the cumbersome prohibitions. Those funds will enjoy benefits of relaxed offering rules, but should not forget the applicable restrictions that remain for private funds that offer interests in and into the United States.
