The term "shutdown corner" is defined as follows: any player with the ability to shut down an entire side of a football field for fear of the havoc he'll wreak on the opposing offense—or something like that. It's a term used sparingly, as few guys have truly enveloped the ability, but it is one that could see itself being reborn of one of the SEC's newest player additions is able to transfer his indispensable talents to his new league. That player's name is E.J. Gaines and he plays for the University of Missouri—Mizzou. Gaines, is a 5'10″, 190-pound, cornerback whose stellar play last season landed him on the Big 12′s first team after completing the year with 69 tackles, two interceptions, and 16 pass breakups—for those keeping count, that's more than any player in the SEC last season.. Gaines has been the emerging star of the Tiger's secondary over the last two years and it was clear from the moment he stepped on the field that he's a guy playing with a chip on his shoulder and a desire to prove that he's got the goods—no matter what league he plays in. "Football is my getaway," Gaines said. "Whenever people [...]

C. Difficile in the Community Setting
As the distinction between nosocomially acquired infections and community acquired infection blurs—as exemplified by MRSA—emergency physicians must be alert to detect the presence of pathogens not usually associated with community dwelling patients. One such pathogen is Clostridium difficile.
While risk factors for Clostridium Difficile Associated Disease (CDAD) are well known, how often are they asked of patients in the ED? While the standard diarrhea questions regarding camping; drinking of stream water; sick contacts; and travel are rarely overlooked, antibiotic exposure and hospitalization—the chief risk factor for CDAD—must be ascertained. Many emergency physicians would likely be surprised to discover that C. difficile can be a community pathogen (a la ca-MRSA) and can occur in patients without standard risk factors
C.diff in the EDOne study addressing these issues is a Canadian study published in 2003. This study reviewed ED admissions for CDAD and found that 44% of cases were community acquired, i.e. in patients who did not reside in a nursing home or have a history of 24 hours of hospitalization in the past 60 days. Not surprisingly, the majority of the case patients had received antibiotics [1].
Virulent Strain Capable of Causing Disease in CommunityWith the advent of the hypervirulent ribotype 027 (BI/NAPI) strain of C.difficile it is not surprising that, with its heightened pathogenicity, it is capable of causing disease in hosts not typically thought susceptible. In 2005, the MMWR published case reports of two such cases occurring in Pennsylvania. One was a fatal case in a pregnant woman who spontaneously aborted a twin pregnancy and whose only antibiotic exposure was TMP/SMX 3 months earlier and the other occurred in a 10 year old girl without antibiotic exposure. These two cases prompted further investigation which uncovered 23 community acquired cases and 10 peripartum cases. Ominously, 24% of the cases reported no antimicrobial exposure [2].
The Connecticut ExperienceIn January 2006, Connecticut added community-acquired CDAD to the list of reportable conditions and after a year of reporting discovered an incidence of 6.9 cases per 100,000 population (241 cases).
Key findings included:–Females represented twice as many cases as men
–Rates higher in spring and summer
–46% required hospitalization (median length of stay: 4 days)
–12% required ICU admission
–2% died
–29% had an inpatient health-care exposure >3 to 12 months preceding illness
–67% had an underlying medical condition
–68% had taken an antimicrobial during the 3 months preceding symptom
–25% patients had no underlying conditions and no inpatient health-care exposures during the 12 months preceding illness. This group was younger, less likely to require hospitalization, and more likely to report bloody diarrhea
–Coinfection with a second pathogen appeared to be rare.
–2% had a stool-culture positive result for another reportable enteric pathogen [3]
When Should the EP Suspect Clostridium Difficile?Emergency physicians should consider CDAD in their patients, first and foremost, in those with traditional risk factors. However, in light of the appearance of C.difficile in the community, it should be added to the differential diagnosis in several other patient groups:
–Anyone with diarrhea after antibiotic exposure should be considered a possible CDAD case
–Anyone with diarrhea after health-care contact (e.g. hospitalization, nursing home residence, dialysis center attendance)
–Certain unexplained diarrhea cases that are bloody or associated with leukocytosis and/or fever
What should the EP do when CDAD is suspected?1. Order a toxin assay for C.difficile
2. If the patient is to be admitted, place the patient in contact isolation
3. Consider treatment with metronidazole or oral vancomycin
4. Stop any unnecessary antimicrobials that the patient may be taking
5. Wash your hands!

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The New Mexico teen accused of killing his family and plotting to randomly gun down Wal-Mart shoppers spent much of the day after the early morning slayings at his church, wandering the campus as dozens of Sunday school teachers were being trained on how to deal with a shooter, a security official said.
But it wasn't until hours later, former police officer and Calvary Albuquerque security chief Vince Harrison said, that he knew something had gone terribly wrong.
Harrison, who led the safety training Saturday morning, said he was called back to the church that evening after 15-year-old Nehemiah Griego told a pastor he found his family dead in their home.
"When I met Nehemiah, I knew something wasn't right," Harrison said Wednesday. "I could feel it, I could see it in his eyes and I could see it in his behavior and his demeanor so the red flags went up and that's when I called the sheriff's department."
Harrison, who had known the Griego family for about 10 years, said he drove the teen back to the family's rural southwest Albuquerque home to meet authorities, interviewing him along the way.
"He went into detail of where they were, where the guns were and he was very matter-of-fact, really cold so I knew something wasn't right," Harrison said.
After finding the bodies, sheriff's officials say, they took the teen to headquarters. During questioning, they say he confessed to shooting his mother and three younger siblings in their beds shortly after 1 a.m., then waiting in a bathroom with a military-style semi-automatic rifle to ambush his father upon his return from an overnight shift at a homeless shelter.
They say he also told them he had reloaded the family's rifles and taken them with him in the family van with plans to randomly shoot more people.
"That sends chills down my spine," Harrison said. "But obviously God had a different plan."
Harrison said several people spotted Griego at the church throughout the day and told him hello, thinking nothing of it until his arrest. He said officials then reviewed security video and found the teen had spent much of the day there.
The video has been turned over to investigators, who have been working to piece together what led to the violence and what happened in the hours that followed.
Harrison said he doesn't know why Griego decided to come to the church, but that it was like a second home for the boy, who was homeschooled.
"It was a familiar place to him," he said. "I think if he did have in his mindset to do something foolish and start shooting people there also, I think his demeanor was tamed a little bit because he saw people there he knew."

The more quickly this horror is disposed of the better. The first to emerge from his tree was Curly. He rose out of it into the arms of Cecco, who flung him to Smee, who flung him to Starkey, who flung him to Bill Jukes, who flung him to Noodler, and so he was tossed from one to another till he fell at the feet of the black pirate. All the boys were plucked from their trees in this ruthless manner; and several of them were in the air at a time, like bales of goods flung from hand to hand.
A different treatment was accorded to Wendy, who came last. With ironical politeness Hook raised his hat to her, and, offering her his arm, escorted her to the spot where the others were being gagged. He did it with such an air, he was so frightfully[imposingly distinguished, that she was too fascinated to cry out. She was only a little girl.
Marie awoke to the sound of a sudden shatter. It was near sunrise and she was still dazed from her night's dream.
"Who's there? If you don't come out, I'll have to get my guards to come and slaughter you," she said, but was met with only silence.
She was uncertain as to what it was but looked around, afraid to find what awaited her. She turned around and to her relief, found only her mirror lying beside her unharmed. However, she didn't go back to sleep and continued to gaze into the mirror admiring her reflection in the dim light.
When the sun had fully risen, she grabbed her mirror and headed down the winding staircase to the breakfast hall of her mansion which smelled like sausages, bacon, and all sorts of breakfast foods. Her father, Blaine Richmount was a budding investment guru and could therefore afford the finest things for his vain and lazy daughter.
Once upon a time, in a magical world on the edge of imagination, was a princess with a heart as cold and empty as ice. She had the most electrifying clear blue eyes, and the most silver hair that any girl in the kingdoms would have died for. She had anything anyone could ever wish for, but she was still unsatisfied. She had all the men and princes throughout all the kingdoms wishing to marry her, and yet she had not batted an eyelash. She had the most enchanting, most perfect life, and still she felt nothing. She was immune to any love in the world, and cared for nothing but one thing: She wanted to live forever.
With immortality, she would be able to explore all the knowledge and magic in the world. She would be a legend to last for eternity. She explored all the lands, books and scrolls, in order for just a tiny hint at the secret of immortality, and on one fateful day, she discovered the Earth Spirit. The Earth Spirit was said to grant any wish to the person who could find her, and the princess knew that she had to find the Spirit to get her wish.
Stave 1: Marley's Ghost
Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it. And Scrooge's name was good upon 'Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to.
Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.
Mind! I don't mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a door-nail.

The pirate attack had been a complete surprise: a sure proof that the unscrupulous Hook had conducted it improperly, for to surprise redskins fairly is beyond the wit of the white man.
By all the unwritten laws of savage warfare it is always the redskin who attacks, and with the wiliness of his race he does it just before the dawn, at which time he knows the courage of the whites to be at its lowest ebb. The white men have in the meantime made a rude stockade on the summit of yonder undulating ground, at the foot of which a stream runs, for it is destruction to be too far from water.

There was once an old man and an old woman. The old woman had a hen and the old man had a rooster; the old woman's hen laid two eggs a day and she ate a great many, but she would not give the old man a single one. One day the old man lost patience and said: "Listen, old crony, you live as if you were in clover, give me a couple of eggs so that I can at least have a taste of them."
"No indeed!" replied the old woman, who was very avaricious. "If you want eggs, beat your rooster that he may lay eggs for you, and then eat them; I flogged my hen, and just see how she lays now."
The old man, being stingy and greedy, listened to the old woman's talk, angrily seized his rooster, gave him a sound thrashing and said:
"There, now, lay some eggs for me or else go out of the house, I won't feed you for nothing any longer."
All chapters here.
"Listen, then, said Wendy, settling down to her story, with Michael at her feet and seven boys in the bed. "There was once a gentleman -- "
"I had rather he had been a lady," Curly said.
"I wish he had been a white rat," said Nibs.
"Quiet," their mother admonished [cautioned] them. "There was a lady also, and -- "
"Oh, mummy," cried the first twin, "you mean that there is a lady also, don't you? She is not dead, is she?"
Long, long ago there lived in Kyoto a brave soldier named Kintoki. Now he fell in love with a beautiful lady and married her. Not long after this, through the malice of some of his friends, he fell into disgrace at Court and was dismissed. This misfortune so preyed upon his mind that he did not long survive his dismissal--he died, leaving behind him his beautiful young wife to face the world alone. Fearing her husband's enemies, she fled to the Ashigara Mountains as soon as her husband was dead, and there in the lonely forests where no one ever came except woodcutters, a little boy was born to her. She called him Kintaro or the Golden Boy. Now the remarkable thing about this child was his great strength, and as he grew older he grew stronger and stronger, so that by the time he was eight years of age he was able to cut down trees as quickly as the woodcutters. Then his mother gave him a large ax, and he used to go out in the forest and help the woodcutters, who called him "Wonder-child," and his mother the "Old Nurse of the Mountains," for they did not know her high rank. Another favorite pastime of Kintaro's was to smash up rocks and stones. You can imagine how strong he was!
All chapters here.
One important result of the brush [with the pirates] on the lagoon was that it made the redskins their friends. Peter had saved Tiger Lily from a dreadful fate, and now there was nothing she and her braves would not do for him. All night they sat above, keeping watch over the home under the ground and awaiting the big attack by the pirates which obviously could not be much longer delayed. Even by day they hung about, smoking the pipe of peace, and looking almost as if they wanted tit-bits to eat.
They called Peter the Great White Father, prostrating themselves [lying down] before him; and he liked this tremendously, so that it was not really good for him.
"The great white father," he would say to them in a very lordly manner, as they grovelled at his feet, "is glad to see the Piccaninny warriors protecting his wigwam from the pirates."

Yahoo CEO Semel steps down, Yang takes over
June 18, 2007
Is Yang right to run Yahoo?
June 18, 2007
Susan Decker, former chief financial officer and head of the advertiser group, has been named president. Semel, meanwhile, will assume the position of nonexecutive chairman and serve as an adviser to the management team and board of directors.
"This is the right thing to do for Yahoo and the right time to do it," Semel said in a conference call with analysts and media.
The shakeup comes nearly one week after a somewhat contentious shareholder meeting in which stockholders criticized Semel's pay in light of the company's lackluster stock price and failure to mount any serious challenge to Google on search and search advertising. Shareholders re-elected the board members with only 66 percent approval, which is low compared with the 80 or even 90 percent approval that is usual. In addition, 34 percent of shareholders voted in favor of a proposal to link Semel's pay with the financial performance of the company.
Yahoo blows its chance
on Yang's second coming.
With the personnel changes, the company is undoing some of the reorganization it initiated six months ago in which it formed three business units: Technology, Audience and Advertising. Now, Decker will oversee Audience, which she previously headed up, and Advertising, whose head had not been named. The Technology group, which has been searching for a unit head since the departure of Chief Technology Officer Farzad Nazem several weeks ago, will report to Yang. Co-founder David Filo will oversee the technology organization until a replacement for Nazem is named.
"The past year has been a difficult one for Yahoo and none of us has been satisfied with the company's financial performance," Semel said in a statement. "As the board and I discussed my future goals and plans I was clear in telling them of my desire to take a step back from an executive role sooner rather than later. We therefore concluded that this is the time for new executive leadership to step in and drive the company to realize its full potential."
Yang and Decker will be an "unbeatable team," he said. Decker is a "strategic powerhouse" and a "financial wizard" and "one of the best business people around," Semel said.
News.com Poll
Yang and Decker both sounded choked up in speaking about Semel. "It is an emotional time for us at Yahoo," Yang said. Semel "has not only been a strong leader, he's been a consummate partner?Terry has been a true role model and a mentor to me," he added. "I've learned how to become a better leader and a better person" because of Semel.
Yang credited Semel with re-focusing the company on key priorities after the dot-com bust and helping Yahoo increase its revenue nearly nine-fold to $6.4 billion last year, boosting operating income from a loss to nearly $1 billion and overseeing the number of users grow to more than 500 million and employees to nearly 12,000.
Decker called Semel a "true leader of leaders" and said Yang "really represents the heart and soul of Yahoo."
Yang said he was ready for the challenge of leading the company. "I know the business and market dynamics well," he said. "Yahoo is in the midst of a multi-year transformation?It's imperative that we execute with speed and clarity and discipline," Yang added.
Decker said that while the company's affiliate search business was running slower than expected and growth of its display advertising business had slowed, executives were pleased with early financial returns for the company's new paid search-marketing platform, Panama. "We expect year-over-year growth versus what we saw in Q1," she said. The company's second-quarter revenue will be at the mid-point to the low-end of its previous guidance of $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion, she added. The company reports its second-quarter results on July 17.
Eric Jackson, a shareholder who had told Semel during the shareholder meeting last week that he should apologize publicly for the company's lagging financial performance, said he was pleased with the management changes.
"I think that Semel was the right person at the time he came in in 2001. He did a lot of great things to stabilize the company and set it on its path after the bubble burst, but shareholders were looking for some new blood and direction," said Jackson, chief executive of consultancy Jackson Leadership Systems. "No question, the meeting and the voting results were weighing on the minds of the board and co-founders," he said.
From board of directors
Greg Sterling, principal of consultancy Sterling Market Intelligence, agreed. "I think the public speculation over Semel's fate and future had been getting louder and there was enough discontent at the shareholder meeting to show that that was only going to increase if Yahoo didn't deliver a very solid quarter and perhaps even out-perform," he said. "This may be a mature recognition on (Semel's) part that it is time for a leadership change."
However, Sterling said: "They still have real issues to solve. This takes the pressure off and the distraction around Semel, but now they've got to right the ship."
Yahoo lost its lead in the search market to the younger Google in recent years and watched as Google turned search advertising into a cash cow. Yahoo has only 27 percent share of the search market share compared to Google's nearly 50 percent. Yahoo's stock has dropped about 10 percent from a year ago, while Google's has jumped about 30 percent. Yahoo also took a hit on Wall Street after it reported that first-quarter net profit was down from a year earlier and failed to report any positive effect from Panama. However, the latest news sent Yahoo shares up nearly 3 percent in after-hours trade to $28.12.
Putting to rest any speculation that Yahoo is a takeover target, Semel said: "The board and I believe Yahoo is, and can be, a vibrant independent company."
The Wall Street Journal and New York Post reported in May that Microsoft and Yahoo were in talks on either a merger or a partnership to help them both take on Google. The Journal later reported that the talks were off, but the reports posed the question of whether Yahoo would or should merge to better compete. Analysts concluded that merging with Microsoft would ultimately not be wise for Yahoo.

- 'bout time . . .
- Aside from the funky log-in/censorship issues with some of Yahoo's affiliates, I have, today, gone for seven hours without a news feed update. Problems? Okay, but fix 'em for God's sake!
I just migrated to Google after six years with a Yahoo home page. I got an idea that I won't be the last.

- Will some sensible design be possible now?
- Maybe Yahoo's dismal performance in their beta concepts will improve now too.
How many "upgrades" have destroyed products that were working just fine? Too many. And now ads in the AT&T Yahoo email interface? That seems to have ticked off quite a number of people. I know I left them as my ISP, but due to better deals 'elsewhere', I opted to leave them as a phone service provider too. I hope they learn a lesson from bonehead moves like double-dipping on their customers. A free service needing ads is a well accepted standard, but never a paid service. If you are ticked like me, I recommend sending them a message with your wallet.

- While looking at the time line for Semels work, I noticed that in about 2004 things started going downhill for Yahoo (about the time they stopped using Googles search for Yahoo).
Then their spam filters started letting massive amounts of spam through. Then they had their disastrous Yahoo mail beta.
One thing after another and they lost any prominence they had. Yahoo is now just another has been and a third rate one at that. I doubt that they could ever recover. The only thing I use Yahoo for now is for their groups, everything else Google does better (heck, even Hotmail does a better job at email than Yahoo now).
Semel gutted Yahoo and they paid him very well to do so.

America Movil Profit Drops on Network Spending, Currencies
Oct. 28 (Bloomberg) -- America Movil SAB, the largest mobile-phone carrier in the Americas, said third-quarter profit fell as the company spent more to install fiber-optic technology in its two biggest markets, Mexico and Brazil.
Net income dropped 21 percent to 18.7 billion pesos ($1.43 billion) from 23.7 billion pesos a year earlier, Mexico City-based America Movil said yesterday. Sales rose 7.9 percent to 167.3 billion pesos. Foreign-exchange losses also cut into profit.
America Movil, controlled by billionaire Carlos Slim, is combining its wireless infrastructure across Latin America with fixed-line networks it acquired last year to stay ahead of Madrid-based Telefonica SA. The Mexican company seeks to boost the speed and quality of its Internet connections as more people in the region snap up smartphones and tablet computers.
The Mexican division's profit fell 2.7 percent from a year earlier to 32 billion pesos, with the margin dropping to 50.4 percent from 53.1 percent, excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Mexico's telecommunications regulatory agency earlier this year reduced the fees America Movil's rivals have to pay to connect their customers' calls to its network, hurting earnings.
In addition to higher costs for fiber-optic technology, America Movil spent more in Mexico to sign up customers and to acquire handsets for its service. In Brazil, expenses rose on purchases of content for its pay-TV networks and on new customer-service call centers.
America Movil rose 1.5 percent to 17.19 pesos at the close in Mexico City. The shares are down 3.1 percent this year.
Brazilian Profit
Brazilian profit fell 7.3 percent from a year earlier to 1.5 billion reais ($877 million), excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Profit margin on that basis declined to 26.2 percent from 30.3 percent.
America Movil recorded a 22.2 billion-peso loss on foreign exchange, a non-cash charge reflecting the value of its debt in foreign currency, compared with a 62 million-peso gain a year earlier. The loss helped lower profit to 24 centavos a share from 29 centavos a year earlier.
The peso slid 16 percent against the dollar between June 30 and Sept. 30, the second-worst performer among Latin America's top currencies after Brazil's real.
America Movil added 5.5 million subscribers, compared with the 5.64 million estimate of Christopher King, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus & Co. in Baltimore.

Samsung X10 laptop NVidia drivers don't work
The previous thread concerning the Samsung X10 laptop has gone cold
( http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/show...threadid=10097 )
but I'm still desperate to get the NVidia drivers going. Can anyone help?
Here is a summary:
- Samsung X10 has several different versions which include either
Geforce4 420GO 32M or Geforce4 440GO 64M, but whichever the version I
and several others seem to have exactly the same problem: NVidia
driver (version 4363) installs with no problem, X starts up but with patterns of
horizontal lines rather than a normal display.
- When an external monitor is connected and used instead of the
internal panel, the NVidia drivers work fine: very nice accelerated
- XFree (nv driver) works fine on the internal panel at 1024x768
(working nv XF86Config attached). Use exactly the same config file
(with nv changed to nvidia, dri commented out) with NVidia driver and
get horizontal lines.
- Something strange with the laptop under Linux in general is that
when X is exited (either NVidia or XFree) the console does not display
properly: I fixed this following a tip found at:
So it seems that the problem is with syncing with the internal panel
and the way in which the NVidia driver detects/sets it up. I have
tried various different things in XF86Config: different resolutions,
IgnoreEDID (it seems that the panel's EDID returns strange values),
FlatPanelProperties, etc.
I am running RedHat9 but others with the same problems seem to be
using other distributions.
Would be very grateful for help.

Forgot to post the working XFree (nv) XF86Config: here it is.
unfortunately I don't have a solution for your problem. But I'm such a poor samsung x10 owner, too. So, perhaps I can support you here with my voice ;-)
I have exactly the same problems like you. It's quite funny (not real), that I've bought this laptop because there is a nvidia card in it and I thought, there shouldn't be to much problems, installing a driver and having good 3d-support an the laptop, beside any other graphic cards vendor.
At the moment I'm using my laptop with the xfree-nv driver. It's enough for developing, but for gaming I would like to have more fps. ;-)
Hopefully there will be a solution soon, the rest of my laptop works very well (except the wlan, of course)
best regards
I don't have your laptop but I did have problems with Linux which turned out to be nothing to do with the nVidia driver itself.
These lines from your XF86Config-4 file:
HorizSync 31.5 - 57.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0
If your screen normally refreshes at 70Hz, you may find it is actually slightly higher (mine is nominally 75Hz but is actually 75.2). Having 70.0 as maximum would then prevent it using this frequency. In the case of my monitor 75.2Hz required a Horizontal Sync value of 80.3kHz but my HorizSync line only went up to 79. So it had to use a lower refresh rate and looked horrible!
If you have a Windows dual boot there may be a way of checking the figures (in my case it was by pressing the screen setup button). Or you may be able to find something in your documentation, on the Web or from the manufacturer.
The range of numbers in the two lines above must include your optimum vertical refesh and the corresponding horizontal sync rate.
Your external monitor may have a different sync rate (why it works OK) and when you use the 2D nv driver it may have less to do (why sync less critical).
On the other hand, I am no expert, and just know what worked for me. I could be completely wide of the mark!
Hope this helps.
Hi davecs,
Thanks a lot for trying to help, but I'm pretty sure that isn't the problem with this laptop. I've tried lots of different screen modes and frequency ranges but always with the same problem. It seems to be something more fundamental unfortunately...
Another plagued X10 user with exactly the same problems...
So no sulution yet on the screen salad?
I'm using Mandrake 9.1, and when i use the Control Center of it, it does set the resolution 1024x768@60Hz for an external monitor if want it to, however the LCD still displays sh**...
How do i know it does set it for both monitors? Is there some kind ov nView in the Linux drivers?
I'm very new to Linux...the nvidia moule also doesn't get loaded automatically, have to do that with modprobe before startx will work, and it says "nvidia loaded with warnings" and something with tainted kernel...?? :(
Anyone from NVidia reading this? There are quite a few of us out there with non-working Samsung X10s that are waiting patiently for some help with this.
Looking more at the screen patterns I get when trying to run the NVidia driver, it is clear to me now that wheras I described the pattern before as "random horizontal lines", the display is definitely _nearly_ right --- it shows all the right colours and is rock solid (not random flickering at all) --- it just looks like the horizontal lines are offset by the wrong amount (a constant factor) from one line to the next.. Has anyone seen something like this before?
Yea you're right, to me it seems as if more (or less) than one screen line gets displayed per LCD line, the image just flickers heavily distorted over the screen, but you can see the correct colors...somewhat...i can see something green when sutting down, coming from the checkmarks... :D
But what makes me wonder is why the "nv" driver from Mandrake has the same problem once you quit an KDE session for example.
I've also heard that people had problems with their TFT connected to the DVI under Linux, whereas on the vga output ot worked fine...something messed up there?
Still haven't found out about that TFT vs CRT settings 'n all the stuff in the demo XF86Config.sample, it's just hurts too much looking at the poor LCD while testing all the possibilities...
I just want to join the club of sad x10 users. (Again, since I was already whining in the dead cold thread). Maybe I can add another detail to the discussion. Besides having the usual problems with the 'nvidia' drivers, I also have a problem with the OS 'nv' drivers. When playing movies in fullscreen (mplayer/xine) I also see kind of a sync problem, i.e. the horizontal lines are shifted against each other by a few dozend pixels per line, rendering the picture washed out and blurry.
I would really like to see this working.
Did you actually manage to install Mandrake 9.1 straight away?.
I've tried to install on my X10 XTC1600, and the installation programme ALWAYS tells me that the graphical config. was not set up during installation.
Any choices of monitor, frequencies, and resolutions make the laptop screen go absolutely wild.
How did you get round this?.
Uhm...actually i don't remember. I did try it like 5 times, AFAIK i managed by using a CRT Monitor...
I don't remember what driver i chose, but i think the nv generic or what it's called...haven't really touched Linux since then, because nothing really works.
Maybe the new kernel at least gives me ACPI and WLan...
Hi there!
Someone suggested that I installed KNOPPIX.
I did it, and
Now I can see all messages when rebooting.
With RH 9 the screen went mad...
This is of course about graphics
(no ACPI, no WiFI, ...)
BTW, I contacted INTEL :eek: about Linux drivers for Centrino laptops:
"Working on them; expect release Q1 2004, if not earlier"
May the force be with you

DENVER—Before Bears quarterback Kordell Stewart jogged off Invesco Field on Sunday after the Bears' 19-10 victory over the Broncos, he acknowledged the adulation above him with his patented toothy smile. That's the one Stewart brought to Chicago and hadn't used in a while.
From the seats on one side of the tunnel, a pocket of hearty Bears fans with frozen faces but warmed hearts leaned over the railings as they chanted, "Go Bears! Go Bears!" Across the aisle, a few locals with good memories of Stewart's college days in Colorado showered him with cries of "Go Buffs! Go Buffs!"
They were cheering Stewart for saving their favorite team.
"It was good to somewhat come back home and see some friends here," Stewart said after rallying the Bears from a 10-9 deficit to their first victory on the road in 13 games. "This was my first chance since I've been in the league to come back and play here. To have that opportunity and win, it was wonderful."
The opportunity came out of necessity. With 10 minutes 23 seconds left in the second quarter, starting quarterback Chris Chandler suffered what he termed a mild separation to his throwing shoulder when Broncos defensive end Trevor Pryce threw him to the ground on a sack that was negated by a face-mask penalty.
Chandler didn't realize the extent of the injury until the next series, when he uncorked a deep pass to wide receiver Marty Booker and experienced an unusual feeling in his shoulder. But he continued to play, and he even led the Bears on a six-play, 30-yard scoring drive at the end of the first half that culminated with Paul Edinger's 54-yard field goal with three seconds left.
At halftime, the coaching staff and medical team determined Chandler couldn't go. So the Bears turned to Stewart, who hadn't taken a snap since Oct. 12 against the Saints after being benched.
"Kordell came in and he was ready," tight end Desmond Clark said.
All week on the scout team, Stewart had imitated Denver quarterback Jake Plummer. Sunday, he outplayed him.
Quarterbacks coach Greg Olson thought Stewart had never prepared better for a game, even quizzing the coaching staff on the game plan.
"It was strange at this point of the season to have him like that, but he was very sharp," Olson said. "You don't see guys like that after being demoted."
Stewart's numbers suggest that he wasn't as sharp as everyone was saying afterward in a jubilant locker room; he completed just 7-of-15 passes for 47 yards and rushed eight times for 29 more. But Stewart converted two fourth-down plays on the key 15-play drive that put the Bears ahead for good when he leaped over the goal line on fourth-and-inches. He also commanded the huddle like a guy who hadn't lost his confidence when he lost his job.
"That was probably the best I've ever seen him play, and that is certainly a compliment to him," the Broncos' Pryce said.
Whether it was good enough for Stewart to keep the job regardless of Chandler's health or rookie Rex Grossman's timetable didn't concern Stewart. Dick Jauron will announce his decision on the quarterback situation Wednesday after learning more about Chandler's shoulder and evaluating Sunday's game film.
"If Chris is ready, great; if not, I'll have to get myself ready again," Stewart said. "It's not about me being selfish saying what I need or what I want or what coach should do."
The victory provided such a tonic for Stewart that he even threw a compliment, though backhanded, in the direction of offensive coordinator John Shoop.
"Coach Shoop called a game plan that allowed us to actually go out and make some plays," Stewart said.
It would have gone for naught without clutch play from the Bears' special teams and a defense that made stops when it had to.

The Other California: The Great Central Valley In Life and Letters by Gerald W. Haslam, Expanded edition, Reno, Nev.: University of Nevada Press, ©1994.
"In this collection of essays[…], he explores what it means to be from the San Joaquin Valley of California, a massive stew of cultures and people. As an Oildale boy and a product of Okie and Hispanic heritage, his perspective is entrenched in valley dirt and hard work […] Haslam shows the valley as it is. He speaks with pride about the labor of Okies struggling to emerge from the poverty of the dust bowl, and the Mexican migrants working the fields today. He explores the racism of Taft in the 1970s, and the grief of his mother's slow decline and death. It's a moving work. […] a keeper."— Beth Cato, Goodreads.com

Eating Stone: Imagination and the Loss of the Wild by Ellen Meloy, New York: Pantheon Books, ©2005.
"[…]The artist and writer's books have won several literary awards, and time will likely show her to have been one of our finest natural-history writers. Her knowledge of the natural world is deep, and her prose breathtakingly beautiful and often startling. Here she leads us through the history of desert sheep from the Pleistocene onward, their predators, behavior, and the points where their lives intersect with those of humans as evidenced in prehistoric petroglyphs and tribal myths." — Annie Proulx, The Globe and Mail

Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson, New York: Farrar Straus Giroux, 1980.
"[…]Sylvie […] is looking after […] two adolescent girls her sister has abandoned in Fingerbone. [It] is one of those towns that seem to be lost between the West and the Middle West. As Miss Robinson puts it, Fingerbone is 'chastened by an outsized landscape and extravagant weather.' […She] works with light, dark, water, heat, cold, textures, sounds and smells. She is […] taking apart the landscape to remind us that we are surrounded by elements, that we are separated from one another, and from our past and future, by such influences. […] Though her ambition is tall, she remains down to earth, where the best novels happen.''— Anatole Broyard, New York Times
April 1
The Milagro Beanfield War by John Nichols, New York: Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1974.
"[…]The [book…] is a delightfully comedic take on the serious subject of class warfare. The class conflict in [northern New Mexico…] is the real thing, with the warring parties literally not even speaking the same language. […]But don't be put off by its decidedly serious theme. […It] makes its point using a zany and lovable cast of characters who follow their own logic. […] All the way through, Nichols uses the land and the hardships it forces to great effect. […He] has come up with a wild and romping tale told not only with humor but also with great caring and compassion. — Tom Walker, Denver Post
May 6
If He Hollers Let Him Go by Chester B. Himes, Garden City, N.Y. : Doubleday, Doran & Co., 1945.
"[…T]here's a little bit of Bob Jones in all of us. […] 'The huge industrial plants flanking the ribbon of road — shipyards, refineries, oil wells, steel mills, construction companies […] and the snow-capped mountains in the background, like picture post-cards, didn't mean a thing to me. I didn't even see them; […]' Readers have no choice but to feel Jones' anger […;] the way the troubles of the city create a myopia that obscures the beauty of the landscape far more than smog ever could. […] We grow with him […] to look at 'the hustle and bustle of moving busy workers, trucks, plate lifts, yard cranes, electric mules, the blue flashes of arc welders, brighter than the noonday sun' — only to fall down and get beat in the end. — Sarah Fenske, LA Weekly
June 3
Crazy Brave: A Memoir by Joy Harjo New York : W.W. Norton, ©2012.
"A Mvskoke/Creek Indian, she describes her dreams, nightmares and memories of her parents, and her ancestors, […] "Crazy Brave" might have been titled "Portrait of an Indian Artist as a Young Woman." […] Harjo is a magician and a master of the English language. Like [James] Joyce, she knows how to navigate the rough waters of silence, exile and cunning. […] Poets of every persuasion will surely [also] be riveted by the intensely raw and yet carefully crafted personal poems that Harjo includes here, including one of her first that begins, 'I release you, my beautiful and terrible/ fear.'"– Jonah Raskin, San Francisco Chronicle

Customer comments about Tivoli Audio Model One Bluetooth®:
Love my Tivoli Bluetooth radio! The sound quality on it is amazing. I really didn't need to turn the volume up high in order to get great quality sound. It synced up nicely to my iphone and I played tunes through Pandora. It's a great size - not too overbearing in a room and has a great classic design to it that make it feel vintage, but with a modern flair. Couldn't be happier with the purchase!

The George Zimmerman trial is nearing its conclusion as the state made its closing remarks on Thursday.
Personal Injury Attorney John Phillips, Criminal Defense Attorney Richard Kuritz and Attorney A. Wellington Barlow weighed in Thursday night on the case so far.
The lawyers seemed to come to a consensus that the verdict will come Saturday.
Barlow said a verdict could come as soon as Friday, but it could also be Saturday.
Phillips said he has learned that there will be court on Saturday, so the jurors could break for the night Friday and continue Saturday.
Kuritz said since the jury has been sequestered, there is no need to rush them, but they as a group could come to a consensus quickly.

Directed by: The Dust Palace
Writing Contributors: Leighton Cardno & Jaimee Edward
at TAPAC Theatre, Western Springs, Auckland
From 15 Nov 2012 to 24 Nov 2012
[Thurs-Fri only]
Reviewed by Sharu Delilkan, 19 Nov 2012

Be warned that the cast of Love and Money don't only bear all physically, they bear their souls through this intimate emotional journey. This clever piece of theatre is slickly peppered with cirque-theatre that's the hallmark of The Dust Palace.
Having seen Venus Is at Q Loft over a year ago, I was looking forward to seeing how The Dust Palace was going to use TAPAC's theatre space. And in keeping with the company's ability to make the audience feel part of the show, Love and Money definitely delivered. Having random furniture scattered around the room meant you never knew which quadrant the cast would appear in throughout the evening – something that really worked and helped to keep the show's pace.
Love and Money is a slick selection of burlesque style circus performance with revealing stories about the beautiful, gritty lives of strippers. I particularly liked the range of scenes from a rock-like concert to the intimate bathroom dance. [More]

(NYSE: DTG) today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004. Total revenue for the fourth quarter was a record $349 million, up 15 percent from the comparable 2003 quarter. Net income for the fourth quarter was $1.4 million, or $.05 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $8.4 million, or $.33 per diluted share, for the 2003 fourth quarter. During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company commenced implementation of Emerging Issues Task Force No. 02-16 "Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor" ("EITF 02-16"). The Company would have earned $.11 per diluted share in the 2003 fourth quarter if EITF 02-16 had been in effect for all prior periods. The 2004 fourth quarter results were negatively impacted by higher costs for insurance reserves and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company's revenue was a record $1.4 billion, a 16 percent increase over the prior year. Net income was $50.8 million, or $1.94 per diluted share, including the $.14 per share favorable cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle to adopt FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". Net income for 2003 was $19.8 million, or $.78 per diluted share. The Company would have earned $1.29 per diluted share in 2003 if EITF 02-16 had been in effect for all prior periods. The strong fourth quarter revenue growth was driven by a 19.9 percent increase in vehicle rental revenue resulting from a 21.7 percent increase in rental days. Same store rental days were up 8.2 percent and franchise acquisitions along with greenfield stores contributed another 13.5 percent to rental day growth. Vehicle leasing revenue declined from last year's fourth quarter primarily due to a shift of vehicles from franchise to corporate operations resulting from franchise acquisitions and to lower lease rates. Gary Paxton, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "2004 was a year of outstanding achievements for DTG with record revenue, record vehicle utilization and increased presence at the airports. It was also an outstanding year with respect to a key element of our growth strategy of acquiring both Dollar and Thrifty franchises in the U.S. and Canada. During the year, we acquired 16 markets previously held by franchisees, including Thrifty in Orlando and Los Angeles which are among the largest U.S. car rental markets. Since the implementation of our growth strategy in December 2002, we have acquired 44 U.S. and Canadian markets and opened seven new Dollar or Thrifty greenfield locations adding approximately 27,000 vehicles on an annualized basis to the Company's rental fleet." As previously announced, the Company increased its share repurchase program from $30 million to $100 million. During the fourth quarter, the Company purchased 173,000 shares at a total cost of $4.7 million. Since announcing the program in July 2003, the Company has repurchased 870,300 shares at a total cost of $22.2 million. The repurchase of the remaining authorized shares is expected to be completed by December 31, 2006. Outlook "We expect continued growth in travel in 2005," Paxton said. "Also, we are becoming more optimistic regarding industry price increases in 2005 with announced plans by automobile manufacturers to constrain vehicle sales to the rental industry. We expect fewer opportunities for incremental low-cost fleet deals and rising interest rates to increase industry vehicle costs in 2005. We will continue to pursue franchise acquisitions and operating efficiencies from our consolidated operating model." The Company estimates 2005 earnings per share in the range of $2.00 to $2.20 based on achieving 6 to 7 percent growth in same store rental days as compared to 2004, with flat to a 2 percent increase in revenue per day and the impact of franchise acquisitions completed in 2004.

Athens, Ga. --- Texas A&M junior Simon Frank's school record swim in the 400-yard IM highlighted the Aggies' third day at the Southeastern Conference Championships on Thursday at the University of Georgia.
The Aggies remained in the hunt for an upper-division finish in the Southeastern Conference and were in fourh place with 382 points. A&M trails Florida (773.5),Auburn (721.5), and Georgia (588), and lead a pack of four teams within 39 points of each other – Tennessee (374), Alabama (352) and Missouri (343).
A&M opened the meet with a 44-point performance in the 400-yard IM, which was led by school record holder Simon Frank. The senior lowered his own school record to 3:44.33 in the morning session and then placed sixth with a 3:45.86 in the Championship final. Chipping in valuable points was junior Hayden Duplechain, who placed third in the B final (11th overall) with a lifetime best time of 3:46.89. He joined Frank as the only Aggies under 3:47 in school history. Sophomore Antoine Marc scratched four points with a 21st place finish in 3:53.11.
"I'm so proud of what Simon has accomplished," men's head coach Jay Holmes said. "He's probably one of the top five most mentally tough swimmers I've ever been around. He is willing to take the pain and do whatever it takes. For him to get that school record, which will without a doubt get him to the NCAA meet, was a fun thing for me to watch."
Senior Henrik Lindau contributed 15 points with a fourth place in the B final of the 100 fly (12th overall) in a time of 47.20.
The Aggies closed out the night with big points in the 200 freestyle with three swimmers earning evening swims. Senior Paul-Marc Schweitzer led from wire to wire on his way to victory in the B final with a time of 1:34.64. Earlier this meet, Schweitzer set the school record in the race with a time of 1:34.39 on the opening leg of the 800 free relay. Also contributing points were junior Luke Shaw with a fourth place finish in the C final (20th overall) in a lifetime best 1:36.24 and sophomore Mateo Muzek placing 23rd in 1:37.13.
After the meet, a pair of Aggies shined in a 50-yard freestyle time trial. Sophomore Cory Bolleter touched in a lifetime best time of 19.59, which is a high NCAA B cut and ranks No. 4 in school history. Freshman Jacob Gonzales went under 20 seconds for the first time ever with a time of 19.95 in pursuit of Bolleter.

Crane Prairie Dam
Crane Prairie Dam was built by several local irrigation districts serving lands south of the North Unit, principally the Central Oregon Irrigation District. It is a rockfill timber-crib dam about 2 miles above Wickiup Reservoir on the Deschutes River. By the time work began on the North Unit, the dam had become unsafe and was rehabilitated by the Bureau of Reclamation in 1940. Crane Prairie Dam is an earthfill structure 36 feet high and 284 feet in length at its crest. It contains 30,000 cubic yards of material. The spillway is an uncontrolled weir in the floor of an open cut channel in the left abutment. The reservoir has a total capacity of 55,300 acre-feet (active 55,300 acre-feet).
The right wall of the spillway was raised 9 feet in 1992 to enable passage of 60 percent of the probable maximum flood without overtopping the dam.
Crane Prairie Dam and reservoir are situated in forest covered volcanic mountains, consisting of buttes, craters and intervening sediment covered basins. The intermittent out-pouring of lava flows and explosive volcanic activity has created very complex geologic situations in local areas. The porous lava flows, breccia, ash and deposits of water lain sediment can be linked to a huge absorptive sponge with local perched or depressed water tables, where lakes and springs have been created at various elevations, according to the rate of inflow or outflow of water as it adjusts to local topographic and geologic conditions. The readjustments of the earth's crust during and following volcanic activity undoubtedly created huge cracks, fissures and faults through which the surface water can be lost or move to lower subsurface elevations.

VIDEO: Pocket-lint on Techvi: HTC, Awards, and Nokia
Pocket-lint has teamed up with video news site TechVi to bring you a weekly show analysing the biggest stories of the week.
In this week's edition, we discuss the massive leak of HTC's roadmap for 2010, consisting of five Android handsets (yet to be given commercial names) and three Windows Mobile devices. The star of the show appears to be the Bravo, which packs a 1GHz processor and huge OLED display.
We also talked about the winners of the Pocket-lint awards, which took place on 7 December. Spotify took home the Gadget of the Year award, and the HTC Hero performed well too, winning in the Best Mobile Phone category.
Lastly, Nokia is pulling out of the premium retail market in London's Regent Street, closing its flagship shop close to the Apple Store and opting to "crystallize its branded retail strategy" instead. Who knows what that means when translated from corporate buzz-speak?
If there's any stories you'd like us to pay attention to for next week, do drop us a line in the comments.

Using Search Marketing to Get Customers by Ryan Pitylak
By Ryan Pitylak
Search marketing is a great way to reach new customers. In the local space, we at Outrank.com have found that with a reasonable amount of research we can turn a relatively small budget into enough phone calls to make our clients happy. Although we see success for our clients, I know many small businesses that try to use search marketing on their own struggle to see success. This makes a lot of sense to me because the cost-per-click in sponsored search advertising is always going up, which drives down the potential to have a profitable return-on-advertising-spend (ROAS). We use techniques that get people to appear next to the map or below the map when consumers are searching at their favorite search engine. These areas in the search results do not cost money per click, and therefore we are able to pass that savings on to our clients. Unfortunately for many small businesses who venture into this area on their own, they find that they can't get their websites to appear in these areas. It's the intelligence gained from having thousands of customers that makes us so successful. It's ultimately a lot cheaper for someone to just hire a firm like us to ensure positive results.

Phone Call Tracking
Many people don't know the source of their phone calls. And that makes sense. Let's say I am a roofer. I am up on a roof and really don't have time to ask you
So, that leads back to the importance of tracking calls. They are important. Without them, customers have a hard time measuring the value of their advertising. Even though we may have front page placement for them for a great term, they need to know we're driving them calls. And, thankfully, with that level of transparency available, we can show them we're driving them legitimate business that is turning into money for them.

How to Charge For Your Rented Email List
A friend of mine asked how to price the rental of their email list.
Let me start by saying that an email list rental borders on spam if done incorrectly. So, you need to be very conscious of what you're doing and what your audience is expecting. The best way to get the message of another company into your email is to add it to your newsletter. That way, it's aligned with the interests of the people receiving the email.
I would compare a few different rental list prices for companies who are offering comparable lists. Show why yours is cheaper than most everyone elses' list.
Then give some sort of story around how your CTR (click-through-rate) for the rented email delivery, assuming you have these metrics, is higher than the average. This will show people that your cost-per-click is lower than your competitors.
Remember the alternative is clicks from places like Google, so you want to make sure your CPC is below whatever they would be able to buy traffic for from alternative sources.
I am extremely sensitive to email delivery. You should ONLY send out email if you audience signed up for the email and its truly relevant.

Ryan Pitylak Demand Generation Techniques
When you're running your own online business, sometimes it doesn't take a lot to convince you to spend hundreds and sometimes even thousands of dollars on books, software, systems, and just about anything that claims to teach you how to reach the marketing success you have been dreaming to achieve.
Sad to say, too much money is spent on things that actually do not do anything to get you anywhere near marketing goals. Unfortunately for some people, they do not realize that they're failing over and over again with the same bad marketing ideas.
It's a good thing Ryan Pitylak is here to help your business. Ryan Pitylak is definitely the person to talk to when you want to achieve genuine marketing success for your online business. Ryan Pitylak has over a decade of credible online marketing experience. This experience leads to effective and efficient solutions for your marketing needs. From SEO to viral marketing, from PPC to blogging, from demand generation to research, Ryan Pitylak, Austin, offers effective marketing results to an ever-growing list of clients.
Ryan Pitylak's three fundamental rules for marketing success:
1. Do something. Yes, miracles happen. But not to everybody. And success is never as fulfilling as it should be when you have not really worked to achieve it. Ryan Pitylak, Austin, Texas, believes that achieving marketing success involves careful planning and execution every single step of the way—researching, studying, testing, and evaluating.
2. Set your mind. Having the right mind-set helps a lot. Of course, with your brain being a major organ in the human system, it can command great control over the rest of the parts of the system. So imagine the power it has over all your aspirations and goals. Focus on what you want to achieve, and getting there will be easier.
3. Be patient. Yes, Ryan Pitylak, Austin, also believes that patience is a great virtue. Although we should feel inspired when we hear of people getting rich overnight, but we should not expect this to happen to ourselves. It takes weeks, months, and sometimes years to realize our marketing goals.
Ryan Pitylak, Austin, TX suggests that we should equip ourselves with these three fundamental keys for marketing success.
