Latest Version of Linux Released
The newest Linux kernel (v 3.4) adds more support for the Btrfs file system, as well as graphics and security enhancements
I think the 3.4 release cycle as a whole has been fairly calm. Sure, I always wish for the [release candidates] to calm down more quickly than they ever seem to do, but I think on the whole we didn't have any big disruptive events, which is just how I like itLinus TorvaldsEngineer, Linux Foundation
Just over two months after its last major release, Linus Torvalds has posted the newest version of the open source Linux kernel, which supports new graphics processors from Nvidia and Intel, improves file system functionality and comes with a new security module.
Torvalds, who oversees input from thousands of programmers, commented on how smoothly work on this release proceeded.
"I think the 3.4 release cycle as a whole has been fairly calm. Sure, I always wish for the [release candidates] to calm down more quickly than they ever seem to do, but I think on the whole we didn't have any big disruptive events, which is just how I like it," he wrote, in an email announcing the release. "Let's hope the 3.5 merge window is a calm one too."
Linux 3.4 arrived only weeks after the release of 3.3, released on March 19, making it the quickest major update in Linux history. Torvalds even delayed the release by a week for additional testing.
More than 7,800 developers from almost 800 different companies have contributed to the Linux kernel since 2005, according to a report the Linux Foundation released in April. The not-for-profit Linux Foundation employs Torvalds to oversee the development of the kernel.
While this version provides no major changes to the kernel, it does advance the software in a number of critical areas.
Extensive work has been done on better supporting Btrfs, a next-generation file system increasingly used in Linux deployments. Better error handling code has been added, allowing the file system to keep working should unexpected events take place.
Linux 3.4 arrived only weeks after the release of 3.3, released on March 19, making it the quickest major update in Linux history
Btrfs also operates faster in this release, thanks to improvements in metadata handling and interactions with the kernel's page-caching mechanism. In one test, Btrfs was able to create 170 files per second, whereas the default file system for most Linux systems, ext4, was only able to create 110 files per second.
In terms of graphics, Linux now supports a number of freshly released GPU processors and platforms, such as Nvidia's new Kepler GPUs -- used in the company's GeForce 600 Series. It also supports AMD newest Radeon and Trinity releases, and, on an experimental basis, Intel's Medfield graphics processor, which Intel plans to market for smartphones.
Linux 3.4 also comes with a number of other improvements, including a new security module called Yama, as well as a method to cut the size of variables and pointers in memory.

Swifts take flight from vanishing eaves
Saturday 14 June 2008
Swifts, the fast-flying summer visitors which are among Britain's most extraordinary birds, are being renovated out of existence.
Their traditional nesting places in roofs and eaves are rapidly vanishing as older houses and other structures are upgraded – while newer buildings, especially those in steel and glass, provide no space whatsoever.
Edward Mayer, who is campaigning to have nest boxes installed on buildings and to have the species' plight recognised, warns that eventually there will be no nesting places left.
Surveys by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) have shown a dramatic fall in swift numbers between 1995 and 2005, with a decline of 22 per cent in England and Wales and a 38 per cent fall in Scotland.
Swifts come from Africa to breed in Britain every year and stay for the shortest period of any migrant – arriving in May and leaving as early as mid-July. Their distinctive arrowhead silhouette in the sky is seen by many people as a symbol of summer.
Like the swallow family – which they superficially resemble, but to which they are unrelated – they have adapted to human habitation, squeezing through the gap under the eaves of houses, churches, hospitals and town halls to nest typically on the beam on which the roof rafters rest, where they are safe from predators. But the way is being barred. Many buildings erected after the Second World War do not have such gaps and, as the older housing and building stock is renovated, nesting opportunities are disappearing all over Britain. Recent buildings, especially in modern materials such as steel and glass, are a swift no-go area. This has resulted in the tumbling numbers, says Mr Mayer.
The retired senior civil servant is mounting a vigorous campaign to draw attention to the swifts' plight and to popularise the introduction of nest boxes, which can be mounted outside buildings and which the birds will use once they realise they are there.
He would like swift nesting places to receive official protection locally and nationally in the same way in which legal protection is given to bat roosting sites, which cannot be disturbed and must be replaced with similar spaces elsewhere if they are.
"Loss of nest sites is causing a catastrophic loss of this species, a species that moved from a wild to a human habitat – and now humans are destroying the human-created habitat," said Mr Mayer, 60.
He gives a prime example of how the birds can be induced to nest in artificial colonies – the tower of Oxford University's Museum of Natural History, where since 1948 swifts have used nest boxes. This year about 70 pairs are breeding in the tower, watched over by amateur ornithologist Roy Overall, as they have been for the past 46 years.
Despite having had a hip replacement, Mr Overall, 76, regularly scales the ladders which lead to the top of the tower, where the birds nest in boxes behind the ventilation openings.
His knowledge of swifts' lives is encyclopaedic – from their ability to sleep, and even mate, on the wing, to the chicks' ability to endure hunger and cold for far longer than other birds.

A.H. Belo Revenue Drops, But Stock Price Still Rising; Local TV Talks ESPN Comin' to Town
Two media matters this morning, beginning with A.H. Belo releasing its second-quarter numbers: "Advertising revenue, including print and Internet revenue, was down 30.2 percent, due to declines in retail, general and classified revenues in all AHC markets." The press release has all the stats concerning The Dallas Morning News's parent company, and a conference call with all the Belo bigwigs should provide further details. But, hey, circulation revenue's up -- and so's Belo stock yet again, even despite this morning's news. ...
And Broadcasting & Cable talks to local TV execs about ESPN's entering the DFW market with its Dallas-centric Web site and SportsCenter Mini-Me. So, how do you feel about this, WFAA-Channel 8 president and general manager Mike Devlin? "I see it two ways: Either they're formidable competition, or we discuss the possibilities for partnership. We certainly have a fairly large sports staff." That's the spirit of Texas.

I can always count on quality ornaments and great customer service from your site. Thanks again! Sandi R."

BJP trying to mislead people: Tewari
Chandigarh: Lashing out at BJP for demanding sacking of Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde for his "Hindu terror" remarks, Union minister Manish Tewari on Friday said it was trying to "mislead" people as Congress party never linked terrorism with any religion or colour.
"BJP is trying to mislead people. Government and Congress party have made it clear that we never linked terrorism with any religion or colour," Union Information and Broadcasting minister Manish Tewari told reporters here.
On the issue of David Headley not getting "harsher" sentence by US Court, Lok Sabha MP from Ludhiana said the US government should seriously consider India`s demand of extradition of David Headly in order to punish the accused in 2008 Mumbai terror attack as per Indian laws.
"There are indications (in the verdict) of US Court that David Headly was involved in 26/11 attack. Therefore, US should take a serious look on India`s demand for his extradition," he said.
Asked about the Shiromani Akali Dal`s involvement in Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) elections, Tewari accused the party of "unnecessarily" interfering in the elections.
"It is unfortunate that the entire Punjab governement is sitting in Delhi for DSGMC elections and interfering in it. Punjab politicians should not involve in it as the elections are only for just electing a body," he said.
Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal along with his son Sukhbir Singh Badal and party MLAs have been camping in Delhi to defeat Sarna brothers in DSGMC elections.

Recent Florida South West reviews
"Just returned from a wonderful vacation in this beautiful property it was exactly the type of place we like to stay in. Spotlessly clean with a south facing pool and spa. in a friendly community and great location. The owners have clearly taken great care to provide every amenity with a warm and homely feeling (a home from home). They have also been a pleasure to correspond with. We would highly recommend this property and hope to return."Guest: Morton Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: October 13, 2014View listing

"I was very happy with the cleanliness and spaciousness of our condo. The neighbors were very friendly and helpful. The location is exactly what we were looking for...quiet yet within walking distance to the beautiful sandy beaches and water activities. We were also within walking distance to many restaurants, stores and a super "Tiki Bar" with great entertainment! You really don't need a car. There is a trolley that will take you to Times Square and beyond as well as Lovers Key and beyond. You can also rent bikes and scooters. Corresponding with the owner during the rental process was a very pleasant experience. Thank you for making our vacation so great!!"Guest: Linda Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: February 25, 2015View listing

Hijacked Question Friday: Football!
Just for fun, and something different from politics, I'm going to somewhat hijack John's Q&A Friday. Vega asked (sorry, no formatting or links, can't on Droid)
Who do you think will win the Super Bowl this year?
I've got a $100,000 that says this years winner is my NY Giants. Anyone want to bet?
But, as to this season's winner, I'm going to go with Eli over Petting.
My top NFC contenders are Giants, Bears, San Fran, and Atlanta.
AFC are Houston, Broncos, Steelers, and Patriots (never count those last 2 out.
The Cowboys and Egirls will not make the playoffs, and there will be some interesting changes end of season. Same with the Jets and Chargers.
Ravens are a bubble team. Yes, Green Bay is in the hunt. I worry about their D and running game.
Ray Lewis will retire.
Big prediction: Colts will make the Playoffs.
What ya got?

- //Tony Bennett
Tony Bennett's last holiday release was 1968's Snowfall so his latest holiday release, A Swingin' Christmas, is a tad overdue. The living legend is in fine form, however, with live renditions of Christmas classics such as "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", "Winter Wonderland", and "O Christmas Tree". The Count Basie Big Band, highlighted by Monty Alexander's sprightly piano playing, lends solid, colorful backing to Bennett's masterful phrasing. Bennett genuinely sounds like he's having a good time on these tracks, especially on "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" with his playful cues before the solos. It takes a special talent to make well-worn holiday tracks sound vibrant again, but it comes as no surprise that Bennett is more than up to the task.

The agreement, the company's largest such contract to date, will enable AT&T to make Internet Protocol-based communications and entertainment services available to the estimated 65,000 residents who will move into Bridgeland, a 10,000-acre residential development currently under construction.
The Bridgeland agreement is one of hundreds of agreements AT&T has completed for fiber-based developments. These agreements represent more than 270,000 homes in newly planned communities across the country.

It's been one month since we launched our redesigned website, newtricks.com, I was so glad to get it published but knew that didn't mean we could sit on our keisters and relax. Oh no, a website owner's work is never done. (That's why you're reading these posts each Wednesday!)
This past week I took a good look at our stats to see what is working and what isn't, and here is what I learned.
Finding the Right Pink Spoon
My call to action that was at the top of the site ("Fetch a Website That's Best in Show") was a click to contact me for a consultation. I knew before we launched that it was not ideal to ask people to do something that personal before they knew us. But I didn't have the time or the energy to figure out what freebie I could offer instead to tempt people into giving me their email address.

A Mountain Biking video by alotrolado-mtb - 2,392 views
We spend a couple of days last week with Go Pro/Intense pro rider Bernat Guardia in Málaga, guides by Wild Track company we could enjoy many trails, as well as we did of weather and all the spots it offers!! Bernat says: Last year I was training in Mallorca around these dates, it was cool for season. So when I have the opportunity to make a trip to Málaga with the team, I even did not think about it for while. I got the Intense M9 some weeks ago, so we have worked hard with Iván Jiménez and all the sponsors for having everything like I want to, so this was the perfect time for knowing new circuits. We got cool guides, as well as a cool experience, although next time we should spend more time here. I am enjoying really much this moment at all and I'm really expecting new season start in Sant Andreu. Flat Out!!! Gasssss!! Bernat has started his new season in Málaga, we found him strongly motivated and acquantied with his team.

RENTON, Wash. -- Known for delivering devastating hits on the field, Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor recently showed another side when fulfilling a lifelong dream to reward his mother.
Chancellor, having signed a contract extension earlier this year, told his mother he planned to purchase a car for her. They had also talked about a new house, but that was going to wait til the end of the summer. Or so his mother thought.
"When I went home, I found a house that I knew was right for her," Chancellor said after practice Saturday. "When I came home for the long break, I told her we were going to go pick up the car. I told her we were going to go to this quote-unquote guy's house. We got there and the car was sitting outside with a bow on it. We went to the car, she loved it, she told me 'thank you' and all this stuff."
The car was locked. Chancellor told his mother they would have to get the keys from the man inside the house. His mother had no idea the house was filled with family members waiting to yell "surprise" and welcome her to her new home.
"She just went crazy," Chancellor said. "She was in tears. It was amazing. I'm glad I'm blessed to be able to do that for her, and she loved it."
So did Chancellor.
"I felt like I was getting the house," he said. "It felt great to do it and to do it for her. The way she was surprised and overwhelmed, I felt the same way."

Paul Says Judd Doesn't Represent Kentucky
Kentucky's junior Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul says actress and activist Ashley Judd, who's considering a run against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, doesn't represent Kentucky or even live in the state. Paul made the comments Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" when asked about potential 2014 challengers to McConnell.
An ad recently released by the American Crossroads PAC shows Kentucky native Judd in videos that reference her involvement in Democratic politics in Tennessee, where she lives. Paul says Judd is a famous actress who is attractive and articulate. But he says she doesn't represent Kentucky.

*The date is set for LeBron and Savannah.
As we reported earlier in the week, the wedding of the year … well, as far as some folks are concerned … is going down between the Miami Heat b-ball superstar and the mother of his two children.
According to reports, the couple sent out "Save the Weekend" notes to family and friends asking them to block off September 13-15 on their calendars. As usual, TMZ got their hands on what is said to be the invite and you can see it below.
Unfortunately, for some, the date is a problem because it's the beginning of Yom Kippur; it will no doubt cause a conflict with many of the couple's Jewish friends.
The card, which revealed that the ceremony wil take place in San Diego, came with a cute caricature of the couple and their two young boys—LeBron Jr., 8, and Bryce, 5—wearing their finest wedding attire.
The couple got engaged on New Year's Eve in 2011 at a private party in Miami. James gave Brinson a seven-carat pear-shaped engagement ring.

Senate Education Committee Chairman Dolores Gresham (R-Somerville) and Senator Brian Kelsey (R-Germantown) on Thursday introduced a compromise bill on opportunity scholarships in an effort to pass legislation this year to help low-income children. Rep. John DeBerry (D-Memphis) is the House sponsor of the bill.
The compromise bill follows closely the governor's statement last week on school vouchers. The governor said he hopes to support a bill focused on low-income children in failing schools with annual program caps starting at 5,000 students and rising to 20,000 students.
The compromise bill, Senate Bill 2025, would give low-income students in the bottom 10% of schools in Tennessee an opportunity scholarship to attend the K-12 school of their choice. It would keep program caps starting from 5,000 students in year one and rising to 20,000 students in year three. If those caps are not reached each year, scholarships would be offered to other low-income children in those counties in which the bottom 10% of schools are located. The bill maintains the governor's definition of low-income, which includes families eligible for free and reduced priced lunch, or $44,000 in annual income for a family of four.
The governor's proposal last year was limited to students zoned to attend the bottom 5% of schools. The governor chose not to move forward with the bill after the Senate had proposed changes to it.
"This bill focuses on our neediest children," said Senator Gresham. "The parents of these children deserve more choices, and their children deserve more options to receive a quality education."
"This compromise is an effort by lawmakers to work this bill out," said Rep. DeBerry. "We need to focus on what's best for the children."
"This is a workable compromise that will help thousands of low-income children while still respecting the governor's concerns," said Senator Kelsey.
Over 70% of the schools in the bottom 10% of Tennessee are located in Memphis. The counties with schools in the bottom 10% are Shelby, Davidson, Hamilton, Hardeman, Knox, Carter, Fayette, Grainger, Lake, & Morgan.
An example last week from Memphis highlights the need to include schools in the bottom 10%. At A.B. Hill Elementary School, a teacher was accused of shutting a five-year-old girl in a supply closest and then going home sick. Later the same day, another child was caught carrying a knife.
"To say that students at A.B. Hill Elementary don't deserve school choice because their school is not in the bottom 5% is just wrong," said Senator Kelsey.
"There are students in my district that deserve choices now. This is an idea whose time has come," said Rep. DeBerry.
Over the past three years, the following states have either begun or expanded Opportunity Scholarships to include all low income students statewide: Indiana, North Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, Virginia, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, and Ohio. Florida and Washington, D.C. have had statewide programs in place for years.
"We now have solid data from other states showing this program works to significantly boost graduation rates," said Senator Gresham. "That's why so many other states are now passing this law."
Senator Gresham represents Chester, Decatur, Fayette, Hardeman, Hardin, Haywood, McNairy, and Henderson Counties. She is Chairman of the Senate Education Committee. Senator Kelsey represents Cordova, East Memphis, and Germantown. He is Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Representative DeBerry represents parts of South Memphis, North Memphis, and Midtown. He serves on the House Education Committee.

Nook HD and Nook HD+ tablet prices slashed, on sale from £99
Nook is cutting the prices of the Nook HD and the Nook HD+ tablets, as a celebration of the Get Reading festival, to be held on 13 July in Trafalgar Square, London.
Before you scream "fire sale!", Nook says that the offers are for a limited time only, but it will see the 7-inch Nook HD drop in price to £99 (8GB) and the 9-inch Nook HD+ will now start at £149 (16GB).
The price changes announce today will apply online and in stores, making the Nook HD tablets now even more compelling.
READ: Nook HD+ review
"To celebrate the free Get Reading festival and to help make digital reading more affordable across the UK, we have reduced prices on our award-winning Nook HD and Nook HD+ tablets for a limited time," said Jim Hilt, managing director, Barnes & Noble.
"We are committed to promoting the cause of literacy and we hope that families from all over the UK come to the Get Reading festival on 13 July for a fantastic day of events featuring some top authors and celebrities."
The price reduction follows the slashing of the price of the Nook E-Ink readers in April, also in celebration of the Get Reading festival. It means you can now pick up the whole range of Nook devices in the UK for something of a bargain.
When we first looked at the Nook HD tablet, we were impressed with the level of enhancement that Nook added, especially with magazines and graphic novels, but felt that the lack of regular Android app support was a negative. That was addressed by Barnes & Noble in May, bringing Google Play access.
READ: Nook HD review
Barnes & Noble has been struggling to compete with the likes of Apple and Android when it comes to actually selling devices, announcing in June that it was looking to reduce losses incurred in the tablet market.
But the company has committed to support those devices already in the market and our own experience is that there's plenty to get excited about, especially now the they're even more affordable.

Short Cuts
Paul was the son of a Japanese military leader. He was born at Tounucumada, Japan, was educated at the Jesuit college of Anziquiama, joined the Jesuits in 1580, and became known for his eloquent preaching. He was crucified on Februay 5 with twenty-five other Catholics during the persecution of Christians under the Taiko, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, ruler of Japan in the name of the emperor. Among the Japanese layment who suffered the same fate were: Francis, a carpenter who was arrested while watching the executions and then crucified; Gabriel, the nineteen year old son of the Franciscan's porter; Leo Kinuya, a twenty-eight year old carpenter from Miyako; Diego Kisai (or Kizayemon), temporal coadjutor of the Jesuits; Joachim Sakakibara, cook for the Franciscans at Osaka; Peter Sukejiro, sent by a Jesuit priest to help the prisoners, who was then arrested; Cosmas Takeya from Owari, who had preached in Osaka; and Ventura from Miyako, who had been baptized by the Jesuits, gave up his Catholicism on the death of his father, became a bonze, and was brought back to the Church by the Franciscans. They were all canonized as the Martyrs of Japan in 1862. Their feast day is February 6th.

We're driving west to Sault Ste Marie and taking the northern route this year, which we haven't done in many many years.
Looking for suggestions for a place to break the trip-an interesting town, hotel, dinner.
When we drove this route 15 or more years ago there was very little in the way of food along the way. Is this still true?
Looking to avoid chain restaurants.
North Bay looks to be a mid point, but I'd love to hear of any interesting towns along the route--perhaps a non-chain Inn, or an interesting small town? Didn't find much in travel guides.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
