In 1944, as World War II was coming to a close, world leaders converged on a New Hampshire hotel to hammer out a world monetary system. The currency chaos that had begun in 1931, and which continued through the 1930s, had proved intolerable. Could a system like that be decided upon again? Nathan Lewis explores…
In 1944, the world leaders that gathered in New Hampshire decided on a system based on gold. This was no innovation, as monetary systems for the past few centuries had also been based on gold. In the Bretton Woods system, the dollar was pegged to gold at $35/oz., and other currencies were pegged to the dollar. Currencies didn't float in those days. Floating, manipulated currencies were considered an abomination. Exchange rates remained fixed. This stable, gold-linked system formed the foundation for a wonderful worldwide expansion of wealth in the 1950s and 1960s – even among the war's losers, Germany and Japan.
Unfortunately, there was a flaw in this plan. Interest rate manipulation, as practiced by the Fed, was surging in popularity. It was hoped this currency tomfoolery would prevent another Great Depression, and every other little recession along the way. This "monetary policy" and currency manipulation was contrary to the simple, automatic currency board-like mechanisms by which gold standard systems should be operated. The result was that the fixed exchange rates and gold link came under constant pressure.
For a while, governments attempted to have it both ways. They imposed various capital controls to keep exchange rates fixed – while at the same time their central banks played games that caused exchange rates to diverge. The dollar/gold peg was not maintained by judicious supply adjustment, as a currency board would operate, but by heavy-handed intervention in the gold market in London.
Eventually, the conflict between manipulative central banks and the gold link became overwhelming. In January 1970, Richard Nixon installed his friend Arthur Burns as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Burns immediately opened the monetary floodgates to help offset the recession of the time – following the day's conventional wisdom. In August 1971, the conflict between Burns' manipulation and the gold link became too great, and, rather than abandoning Burns' currency games, it was decided to abandon the gold link instead. The dollar had become a floating currency. By 1973, all the major currencies floated.
An economic catastrophe ensued, the inflation of the 1970s. Even in the 1980s and 1990s, as currencies were stabilized somewhat, economies never regained the health they showed in the 1950s and 1960s. Emerging markets, in particular, were beset by regular currency disasters.
The environment of monetary chaos that we have lived in for the past thirty-seven years has finally produced a political willingness to fix the problem. Governments sense that, if they do not take action now, a worldwide crisis may ensue. Just as in 1944, governments want to return to the monetary stability upon which capitalism was founded. On November 15, governments will gather to talk about a "New Bretton Woods." There is even some talk that gold will play a part. The creators of this New Bretton Woods, if they are able to agree on anything at all, would do well to recognize the successes and failures of the original Bretton Woods.
Bretton Woods was, overall, a great success. This was due to the link with gold, and the fixed exchange rates worldwide. Capitalism since the Industrial Revolution had been based on this monetary principle, and it worked again as it had in the past.
The reason that the Bretton Woods gold standard did not persist indefinitely was not government deficits, or insufficient gold bullion reserves, "current account imbalances" or any other such thing. The only reason that governments decided to abandon the gold link was that they preferred to play central bank games with their currencies. A New Bretton Woods must wholly and completely abandon such practices.
Without these guiding principles, this month's discussions are likely to devolve into an unworkable hodgepodge of currency baskets, CPI targets, promises likely to be broken, and rhetorical vagaries. Certainly no usable system would emerge, although an unusable system might.
A New Bretton Woods, of gold-linked currencies worldwide, would be very easy to create. It could be done in a weekend, and wouldn't cost a dime. It is merely a decision to manage currencies one way – a gold link – rather than another way. Unfortunately, I don't think today's generation of monetary bureaucrats in the U.S. and Europe have the talent, skills or understanding to accomplish this solution. They can't even identify it.
I place my hopes on Russia, China and the Middle East. Their monetary bureaucrats don't have the skills either, as far as I can tell, but they are willing to learn. As outsiders, they can see that the G7's conventional wisdom isn't working.
I wish the best for those governments willing to step up with a solution to the problems that have plagued the world since 1971. I just hope they get on with it before things get too out of hand.

Now you don't talk so loud…
Now you don't feel so proud…
About havin' to be scroungin' your next meal…
– Bob Dylan
A few months ago, working on Wall Street was about the most prestigious thing you could do. Rock legends earned less. Heart surgeons got less respect. Porches had less power. Screen stars had fewer girlfriends. You were on top of the world. You earned more than anyone else. You knew more. You were better educated…the top of the class from the top schools. You understood what a CDO was…and a swap…and a derivative.
Naturally, other people…ordinary people…looked up to you. They gave you good tables at restaurants. They parked your car without scratching it against a fire hydrant. Women wanted to meet you…and men asked your advice on economics, politics, fashion, art – you name it. You were what every mother wanted her son to be – a member of that special club…the secret order…the high priests of the modern world…the ruling elite of Planet Goldman…the Confrérie of Finance.
But now, they that did ride so high now lie in the gutters of lower Manhattan. People practically spit at you on the street. They blame you for their losses…for taking away their retirements…for wrecking the whole world's economy. You were a hero…now, you're a schmuck.
Yesterday, the Dow fell another 427 points – to under 8,000. This morning, stocks fell, as recession fears and jobs data plagued the market. O' Bama! Where is thy bounce!
Consumer price inflation fell by 1% – the biggest drop in history.
Houses in Southern California are now down 41%, according to the latest report. "Harsh reality," says the Wall Street Journal, is now "hitting home."
Architects, too, say their billings have taken a record dip.
About the only profitable business left is hijacking ships!
The typical stock market investor has lost about half his money. He's looking for someone to blame – surely, it's not his own fault!
And so now, poor Wall Street, the public is catching on to your scam…
…that the special knowledge you claimed was nothing but smooth talking claptrap…
…that you really didn't know any more than anyone else about what was actually going on…
…that what you were doing was skimming money from honest businesses with a lot of fancy shenanigans and unnecessary transactions…
…and selling stocks to naive lumpen – claiming that equities "always go up in the long run"
…and loading up business and consumers with more debt than they could carry…
…and then greasing the debt over to investors, softly assuring them that "our models show the risk of default is negligible…it won't happen, not in a thousand years."
That was only a few months ago. And now the debt has gone bad – trillions worth of it. And now, so many things that Wall Street promised have turned out to be lies and humbug that the whole world financial system has seized up.
Next week, we promise a more detailed expose of Wall Street's flim flam. (Heck…the whole industry is down…now's the time to kick.)
Meanwhile, we go on…into the wild blue yonder.
And here we switch from the "innocent fraud" of Wall Street, as Galbraith calls it, to the armed robbery of government.
You see, the Obama Administration will have one overriding priority: to unblock the credit markets, put things back to "normal," and get the economy moving again. If he can do that – or even appear to do that (which is the only possibility) – Obama will go down in history as one of the nation's greatest presidents.
Of course, everyone is rooting for him. When times are good…we like horror movies and terrorist threats. But when they are bad, we want flicks with happy endings. Obama's election was a landmark for many reasons. But he won largely because voters wanted a "Hollywood ending" to the campaign. And now they want a Hollywood ending to the new national nightmare.
Will they get it?
Nah…but they might like the show anyway.
*** Dan Amoss offers his two cents:
"Those fearing deflation assume that every American consumer is stereotypical: an overextended, credit card-addicted, house-flipping gambler. This is simply not the case. Many Americans don't have a mortgage. And most Americans with mortgages are still making their payments. They have, however, temporarily reigned in discretionary spending because of falling house and stock prices.
"Those fearing deflation also assume that demand for debt is low and falling. But demand for debt doesn't always come from businesses or households looking to invest more or spend more. Any business or household looking to refinance existing debt at lower rates – and there are many – is a source of demand for new debt. Banks borrowing at the Fed window at 1% or less will be looking to supply this new debt by make highly profitable loans to creditworthy borrowers.
"Once borrowers refinance, they may not be as aggressive about spending or expanding business as they used to be. But at least they will have access to credit. In the Great Depression, they did not. So the economy fell into a negative feedback loop of asset sales, bank failures, and rising unemployment.
"Treasury and the Fed will keep taking extreme measures to slow down the pace of credit contraction and housing prices – cutting off this deflationary feedback loop. This could include nationalizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and using the Treasury's low borrowing costs to refinance hundreds of billions in existing mortgage debt into new 40- or 50-year mortgages with reduced principal balances.
"Sure, such an action would guarantee a decade or more of stagnation in housing prices, but it will also slow or flatten the rapid decline in prices. This is the essence of the Treasury and Fed actions: to stop the deleveraging from getting out of control – even at the cost of future economic stagnation. Like it or not, I think this is the most likely outcome from this crisis."
***And now, let's look at what the Federal Reserve is doing…
As you'll recall, the main man at the Fed, Ben Bernanke, has spent almost his entire life studying what went wrong in the United States in the '30s and in Japan in the '90s. He's determined not to let it happen again – not on his watch.
And so, he's taking America's central bank where no central bank has ever gone before.
From the day of its founding in 1913, the Fed's assets – the foundation capital of the U.S. banking system – grew, reaching $1 trillion on the 24th of September, 2008. But then, something extraordinary happened. Something breathtaking. And for a classical economist – something incredibly reckless. In the next six weeks, the Fed added another trillion. And the head of the Dallas Branch of the Fed said that he expected to add another trillion before the end of the year.
How does the Fed get these "assets?" Simple. It buys them. Where does it get the money to buy them? Simple again: it creates it. It makes it up. It conjures it out of nothing.
"If it comes from nothing," you might wonder, "what could it really be worth?" But we're not going to answer that question. We don't have time. Besides, it takes us in such a deep metaphysical swamp, we're afraid we may never slosh our way out…or at least not get out in time for lunch. Instead, we're going to answer this question:
"If it was that easy, how come the Fed didn't do it before?"
The answer to that is simple: because when the Fed inflates the money supply it risks inflating consumer prices. People don't like that. They like it when asset prices go up. But not when gasoline and milk increase.
But now, no one is worried about consumer prices. In fact, the Fed is worried about deflation…about falling prices. Bernanke knows what happens when consumer prices begin to fall. Consumers stop spending – knowing that they will be able to get a better deal in the future. That further depresses the economy…and pretty soon it's the '90s again and you're back in Tokyo. So the Fed has begun a huge program of monetary inflation, intended to offset Mr. Market's price-cutting.
And now another question: Isn't there some risk that the Fed will overdo it?
Oh, dear reader…that's a puffball of a pitch. If we can't hit that, you can take our laptop away…you can break our sword…and send us back to the dugout.
Remember what happened in the slump of the early 2000s? Alan Greenspan panicked…cut rates to 1%…and left them there for more than a year. He gave the market the wrong medicine at the wrong time…and then delivered such a horse-sized dose, it set off the biggest bubble in mankind's whole bubbly history.
Now, it's a different kind of slump…a credit slump. And once again, the Fed is on the scene, like a quack doctor at the side of a heart-attack victim. This time, he's giving stronger medicine…not just a 1% lending rate, but actual monetary inflation. Trillions of dollars worth of it.
For the moment, Mr. Market is taking away dollars faster than the Bernanke Fed is replacing them. That could continue…for a few months…or even for several years. But it won't continue forever.
And here, we affirm our unshakeable faith in the people who lead us. They are trying to cause inflation. Eventually, they will get the hang of it. They may shoot for 2% per year; but they are sure to overshoot. Money printers always do.
Until tomorrow,
Bill Bonner

Counting Sheep
Counting Sheep chronicles the struggle for survival of the wild Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep, a majestic emblem of American wilderness. Filmed over the course of 11 years, Counting Sheep is the first film ever of the Sierra bighorn, and it captures the plight of this noble creature -- one of the most endangered mammals of North America -- with dynamic interviews and exquisite footage. At the heart of the film lies the tenacity of the biologists and environmentalists who fight to conserve the bighorn in the face of disease, harsh winters and predation by mountain lions. At stake is the future of a species.
The two people most responsible for protecting the bighorn are unlikely allies: biologist John Wehausen, Ph.D., and mountain lion tracker Jeff Davis. Wehausen, who has an apparently inexhaustible supply of energy, is the godfather of the Sierra Nevada bighorn. He has studied bighorn sheep for decades, observing the elusive bighorns from the rocky ledges of the Sierra and collecting their bones and genotyping them. Wehausen worked tirelessly with the National Defense Resource Council to have the Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep placed on the federal list of endangered wildlife and plants.
Davis, along with his wife Vicki, is a trapper turned mountain lion tracker. A modern-day frontiersman who spent much of his youth on the rodeo circuit, Davis tracks lions with hounds so that the lions can be radio-collared. Both Davis and his wife are passionate about the survival of the bighorn and are concerned about the natural legacy they will leave for their grandchildren.
The bighorn sheep live from 10,000 to 13,000 feet above sea level, on the snow-dusted crags of the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains -- when seen from a distance in their natural habitat, they are said to look like rocks with legs. Once numbering in the thousands, prolific numbers of bighorn sheep died in the 1800s from disease transmitted by domestic sheep. By 1998, the number of Sierra Nevada bighorns had dropped to 100. The state of California's protection of mountain lions, which prey on the wild sheep, further complicates the efforts to save the bighorn. Then in 1999, the bighorn won federal emergency endangered species status, trumping the protection that California voters had given to the mountain lions.
Every mountain lion in the thousands of acres of the Sierra bighorn range is now collared and monitored, a heroic task. Davis must pull the trigger on those rare lions that can be shown to threaten bighorns. Removing lions stirs much conflict -- the public often does not understand the difference between animal rights and conservation.
Counting Sheep is a compelling portrait of an endangered species and the unusual collaboration between the scientists, trackers, ranchers and politicians who are working to ensure the bighorn's continued existence. The film raises thorny questions about animal rights and conservation, the importance of larger ecosystems, and the delicate quest for coexistence.

I've got to give it to Schwartz & Co., they didn't go defense first like I would have liked them to but considering they went with Stafford I thought they got great value in the draft. I wanted a tackle(Oher) after Stafford but Pettigrew is the better pick, he's like a tackle that can bail out Stafford/Culpepper who is also a huge redzone target like pit was refering to. Even the Levy & Williams picks I didn't like at first but they'll play vital roles & acquiring free agents the caliber of Larry Foote from Meee'chigan make me feel a whole lot better about them-especially Williams.
On ESPN.com they have a link you can go to and watch highlights of all the top prospects so YOU can decide which player stands out to you the most. An opportunity for us to compare & contrast the differences in all the top picks then asks you what the Lions should do & who is the best prospect, etc. After watching all of them, I thought Aaron Curry's tape & believe it or not Andre Smith's tape was the most impressive. Of course this isn't going to tell you who is most deservant of the pick just by watching a few highlights, but I thought it was neat to be able to watch tape on all the players back-to-back on the same page. Makes it easier to contrast the players.
I'm not one who roots for the good guy all the time, but in this case you're right my friend. Curry is a stand-up guy, there's something to be said about players with his type of character. I've been a Curry supporter throughout this fiasco, & listed numerous reasons for wanting him but who he is off the field is something that doesn't get brought up enough. That may not win us anymore games but that kind of attitude will change the culture around here, especially coming from our #1 pick & captain of the defense.
Someone was on here yesterday, can't remember what his screen name was but he was claiming that he had read that Curry has a deal in place that is worth only 20 million guaranteed with the rest incentive based throughout the contract. Has anyone else heard anything like this or have a link to the source?

"...Troy Kropog - Check this guy out hard."
Hey buddy, not to criticize, but I think you should have re-phrased that.
LOL, thanks for the laugh.
Are you still behind Stafford.......humping away?
I'll tell you what I'd do........two chicks at the same time.
PC Load Letter? What the f*ck does that mean?
I'm a defensive type of guy, so I've always held a special place in my heart for LB's & DB's. Our defense is so bad now that there is really no one on that side of the ball that deserves praise from me. So.....I suppose Ernie, he's a little undersized like I was when I played. But he does play with a ferocity that caters to my liking. However, if Aaron Curry is drafted I will buy his jersey the same day.
Good call on Jasper Brinkley, I've been praising him for weeks. He's not your prototypical 3-down LB, but definitely a solid MLB with good-great value in the 3rd-4th round. & If Robert Ayers is still available in the 2nd round then I'm a jappanese jet pilot....but also the happiest jappanese jet pilot:)
Your glass is definitely half full my friend. Hell, with all those "if's" & "Let's say's" your glass is overflowing with confidence in Stafford. For our sake I hope you're right, I think Stafford could be good just not with this current cast of misfits.
I think the point loosers125 is trying to make is that when our offensive line gives up as many sacks as they do(2nd most in the league), it's difficult for your QB to succeed(especially a rookie). If Stafford is the pick, I think it's imperative that we draft offensive lineman that are capable of starting afterwards. You bring up the additions to the offensive line which are valid points, but I think guys like Loper & Foster are considered more for depth rather than ability(their short-term contracts are one indication). I am one that prefers the defensive route in the draft, however I won't be totally irritated if Stafford is the pick. But the only way Stafford turns out to be a wasted pick or bust is if we don't protect him & he ends up on the IR.
Breaking News: Chris Paulus will not attend UM for grad school. This is as of 4:58 pm.
What's up fellas, sorry I wasn't around for the Kansas City pick. I've been out of town, actually I was in you guys neck of the woods. Drove 8 1/2 hours up to Meee'chigan for the spring game.
Is that really Mayocks new big board I saw above posted by blueingreer I think? That is a little crazy, no way Orakpo falls that far. Totally agree with everyone on the talent pool in this draft, I haven't seen one like this before in years past.
I don't mean to switch gears on all the die-hards that are really interested in whether Travis Fisher thinks he can start or not, but is anyone here attending the spring game saturday?
I think everyone would agree that if Oher fell all the way to 20, we must take him. That's great value for his talent.
uh....it's exactly what I said it was. He was TIED with Duane Brown. Per your source & mine.
Duane Brown (Texans) 11.5 sacks allowed (16 starts)
31. Jason Peters (Bills) 11.5 sacks allowed (13 starts) *PRO-BOWL*
Duane Brown was also the anchor of Houston's offensive line that helped produce the 3rd ranked overall offense in the league. So you must use perspective when using these sack statistics.
Peters is a proven veteran also, but there are a couple flags. He stated that he wanted to be the highest paid tackle in the league & Buffalo won't do that for him so he's unhappy there. Which means we would have to renegotiate his contract & give him a huge deal. Which wouldn't be easy if we're paying Matthew Stafford 70+ million. I wouldn't mind paying top dollar for a solid LT, however is that what Jason Peters truly is?
"Texans rookie LT Duane Brown gave up the most sacks of any LT in the league (a feat he shared with - you guessed it - Jason Peters)."
I don't mean to jump into your internet "squabble" but Aaron Curry has played MLB at Wake. In addition he's played TE, Safety & corner in some nickel packages and like I said, MLB in other nickel packages. See, that's what makes him so valuable. He's the most versatile LB to go into the draft in a decade some say. I don't have a link to give you right off hand but if you don't believe me, that's fine. Look up his scouting report, it's there.

I know this movie doesn't get great reviews, but I have a theory on that. I think it's because those people reviewing this movie have forgotten that it's a kid's/family movie. These people have all these preconceived notions about what a movie should be like, and they forget about what it's like to just sit back and enjoy a movie that doens't have to have a major point. Just to relax and chill with some wierd Tim Allen flick about becoming de-santaficated. It was good, I liked it, and it didn't get all bunged up with some wierd plot twist that left you wondering "What the fuck?!?!"
So sit back, enjoy the movie and don't be such an uptight prick all the time.
Tim Allen does a remarkable job of playing Santa in The Santa Clause 2.
In the north pole, santa begins to lose weight and appear younger. Later, he is sent back to home to make his delinquent son behave. He only has 28 days to get married, correct his son's behavior, and stop an evil toy army from invanding the North pole!
Graphics: 7/10.
There aren't as many special effects as i was hoping, but it was ok.
Sound: 7/10.
The music was decent. They could have put some rap in. They have a bit of hip-hop in the movie, but only about 5 seconds worth.
Overall Rating: 7/10
Yesterday was movie day at our house. With all the snow on the ground, we decided to stay home and watch movies all day. Most of them were Disney movies on cable or kids movies for Mikey. Don did go to the store and rented Bad Boys 2 and Santa Clause 2. I didn't watch Bad Boys since I was putting Mikey to bed and I'm not really into violent shows. Santa Clause 2 was pretty mild. Tim Allen is always entertaining, but the end seemed to get kind of weird, with the Santa Clone creating a toy soldier army and taking over the North Pole. (I told you it was weird).
Mikey is really starting to get into the Christmas spirit. He understands the concepts of Santa Claus and presents, but I don't think he really gets the idea that it's a big deal holiday. We probably have another year or two before he starts waking us up at 3 am to open gifts, like my older kids used to do.
Jilly sent me some new Abby photos. I am so excited to get them. I already printed three of them on my spiffy new printer and they look great. I'll get the link up for Abby's pics soon so you all can see them. In the meantime, try this link. That baby is getting so big! And she's so cute!
Only five more days of work left for me until Christmas break. Teachers need this time away from their students. I love my job, but it can wear a person down after a while. And it's not the kids that drive me so crazy- it's all the other stuff.
It's hazy and gray and the snow is dirty. Hope you have a great day.
The santa clause 2 is a good movie for those of you that like REALLY predictable movies. i figured out what was going to happen about 5 minutes into the movie. but it still is very good....although it mostly pertains to the younger minds...
Horribly stupid.
"If you value your time and money, find an escape clause and avoid seeing this trite, predictable rehash."
-- Claudia Puig, USA TODAY
Not even close to funny. Don't see it. Please.
1/10 :rotten:
I saw this movie during christmas with my family and really didn't enjoy that much. I was bored and not entertained like the first installment. The movie has a good message to it but lacks shine.
I really liked it, because he finally married someone that he thought he would never even like. I also think that they should come out with a Santa Clause 3 becuase the movie should talk about the life that Mr. and Mrs. Clause have together and the things that they encounter (Like having a baby). ;)
I believe Analyze This did most of the jokes about the mob already. Analyze That picks up the scraps.
The Santa Clause 2 is enjoyable to watch, whether or not it's Christmas.
About Schimdt sees another superior performance by Jack Nicholson.
The Pianist, a moving story about the Holocaust, is the best film of 2002.
four and a half stars
:up: :up:
Comments: A great movie to watch before/on/after christmas, it's a great movie but it is alot better if you watch the first one.

The Alaska Marine Highway System is making it easier for horse-owners to travel with their animals.
Equestrians earlier this year complained that a $1,000-per-animal deposit was excessive. The money covered the cost of cleaning up any waste that ended up on the car deck.
Ferry Chief Mike Neussl says the new policy reduces the deposit to $500. It also covers multiple animals being transported together.
Neussl says horse-owners can put the deposit on a credit card, which will not be charged unless there's a problem.
"We don't actually have to collect the money. If fact, we would prefer to not to actually collect the money, only to have to give it back. Hopefully there won't be any need to retain it. Hopefully there won't be any need for a clean-up. But we need those assurances that we have access to the clean-up funds if we need them," Neussl says.
Horse-owners said the $1,000-per-animal deposit kept youth groups from traveling to horse shows and competitions.
Some equestrians also asked to be allowed off the ferry to exercise their horses on voyages to and from Bellingham.
Neussl says owners can already buy a split vehicle-and-trailer ticket for those trips. That way, they can drive off, let their horses out for a while, and then reboard.
"The difference in fares between Juneau-Bellingham direct versus Juneau to Ketchikan and Ketchikan and Bellingham is only $1 per linear foot of vehicle. So if you have a 35-foot truck-and-trailer combination it would be $35 extra dollars to do that double-ticketing," he says.
He says the deposit is a recent addition to ferry rules. It was added because new federal regulations prohibit washing anything off the deck into the ocean.
The changes were presented at last week's Marine Transportation Advisory Board meeting.

My colleague Vamsi Chikkam noticed that the Oracle 10.2.0.3 patchset has been released for Linux and Windows 32-bit. The major bugfixes are the same as my original post with a few additions:
- Identical SQL run in different schemas may modify the wrong schema's tables (bug 5458753)… we have run into this problem at a client site and it's not pretty. Workarounds include qualifying schema names in SQL and one-off patches for 10.2.0.2. MetaLink note 329673.1 has more details.
- When cursors are being reloaded frequently in the shared pool, PLS-306/ORA-1722/ORA-1858 errors can occur (bug 4752541)
- Under Windows platforms, triggers referencing :NEW/:OLD using NCHAR/NVARCHAR character sets can error out (bug 5388136)
- The same issue as bug 5388136 above also causes compilation errors on 10.2.0.2 databases upgraded from previous releases under Windows(bug 5383828)

One Response to "Oracle 10.2.0.3 patchset is out"
I've seen that 5458753 problem since 188.8.131.52, in Linux!
Been trying to find any reference on it for ages, thanks for this post.
Unbelievable that such a BASIC security flaw is in Oracle's code all the way
to 10gr2 and NO ONE has fixed it yet except, presumably, in the 2.0.3 patchset!
About time Oracle started fixing the basics of their flagship product rather than spending their R&D in flights of fancy and "flavour of the day" technologies!

Religious Court Could Not Make Decisions Concerning Custody And Visitation
December 4th, 2012
Judge Daniel Palmieri, sitting in a Supreme Court part handling matrimonial matters in Nassau County, New York, recently vacated the decision of a Beth Din determination and award. Beth Din is a Jewish Religious Court.
The parties in this case had entered into a written agreement to arbitrate financial issues related to the marriage before the Beth Din religious court. The agreement authorized the Beth Din arbitrators power to hear and determine all issues of a financial nature. The determination of these financial issues are enforceable in the Nassau County Supreme Court.
Limitations Of An Arbitration Agreement
The arbitration agreement did not empower the Beth Din court to render final and enforceable decisions concerning issues involving child custody and visitation. This is due to public policy in New York. In New York, only state courts can render decisions on issues of child custody and visitation.
In the case, before Justice Palmieri, the husband moved to set aside a decision and award by the Beth Din arbitration panel. He also asked the Court to grant a downward modification of child support. The wife moved to confirm all aspects of the decision of the Beth Din panel.
Justice Palmieri vacated the arbitration award to the extent that it dealt with decisions of custody and visitation as being against a public policy in the State of New York. He confirmed the portion of the award dealing with financial issues.
Private Arbitration Of Legal Matters
More and more litigant today are opting for alternate dispute resolution of legal matters. This usually involves hiring a retired judge to conduct an arbitration. These private tribunals can resolve litigated issues much faster than the overworked courts in New York.
Juvenile Delinquency Proceedings in the New York Family Court
April 2nd, 2012
Children who are charged with crimes will often have these crimes adjudicated in the Family Court of New York. These children are entitled to virtually the same rights guaranteed under the United States Constitution in the Family Courts they would have if they were prosecuted in the Criminal Courts in New York.
Similarities and Differences Between the Family Courts and Criminal Courts in New York
There are similarities and differences between the prosecution of a crime in the Family Court in New York vis a vis the prosecution of the same or similar crime of an adult in the Criminal Courts. To start with, the prosecutor is called the "presentment agency" instead of "The People of the State of New York". There is no District Attorney's office representing the prosecution in the Family Courts. In the City of New York the prosecutors is the Corporation Counsels Office and in the suburban counties outside the City of New York the prosecutors are the County Attorney's Office. In the Criminal Courts individuals charged with a crime can be released on their own recognizance instead of bail being posted. In the Family Courts the children are released to their parent's custody. There is no bail statute affecting release in the family court.
The trial in a criminal prosecution in the Family Court is referred to as a fact finding hearing. The finding of a Family Court, instead of being that the individual is guilty, is a finding of "adjudication of juvenile delinquency". In the Criminal Court an individual found guilty can be sentenced to jail. In the Family Court the sentence of a child is called a placement in a facility.
Motion Practice in the Family Courts
As in the Criminal Courts, Motions to Suppress evidence and Motions to Dismiss in the interest of justice can be made to the judge.
No Jury Trials in the Family Court
Juveniles in the Family Court do not have a right to a jury trial. Adults in Criminal Court are entitled to trial by jury in both misdemeanor and felony proceedings. In misdemeanor proceedings six person juries are used while in felony proceedings twelve person juries are used.
Plea Bargaining
Plea bargaining is a process in the Criminal Courts where an individual charged with a crime can plead guilty to a lesser crime for the purpose of receiving a no jail commitment or a sentencing commitment from a judge that is much more lenient than if he or she had been found guilty of the original crime. In the Family Court instead of plea bargaining the juvenile makes an admission to a lesser charge. Unlike in the Criminal Courts there is no commitment by the court with regard to sentencing. The reason for the lack of commitment for sentencing in the Family Court relates to the mission of the Family Court. It takes into the consideration the best interests of the child and the protection of the community when dealing with sentencing issues.
Convictions In The Family Court
If a juvenile is convicted in Family Court after the fact finding hearing there is a second hearing called the dispositional hearing. During the disposition hearing the attorney for the child can present to the court a plan to deal with the issues raised in the case. These plans can deal with sentencing alternatives involving placement in schools, community based programs, drug treatment counseling and other types of alternative sentencing programs. The judge at a dispositional hearing will render a decision as to whether the child requires confinement, treatment or supervision. The court can also conditionally discharge the child into the custody of his or her parents.
Family Court Legal Representation
Although there are similarities between the prosecution of a juvenile in the Family Court and the Criminal Courts, should you have a child that is charged with a crime pending in the Family Court before retaining counsel you should discuss the attorneys experience in representing minors in the Family Court. Although there are similarities and differences between criminal prosecutions in the Family Court and in the Criminal Courts an attorney with experience and expertise in dealing with Family Court matters may obtain a better result than an attorney that only deals with prosecutions of individuals in the Criminal Courts in New York.

Halle Berry's Custody Issues
July 22nd, 2011
Halle Berry was married to Gabriel Aubry. They have a daughter named Nahia. Halle Berry is an oscar winning actress. She has been engaged in a custody fight over her two year old daughter Nahia.
Halle has dropped out of a broadway play due to custody issues. She had been scheduled to make her broadway debut in September. The play was called the Mountain Top. Samuel L. Jackson is portraying Dr. Martin Luther King in the play. Halle was to portray a maid at the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis where King was the night before he was shot.
Nasty Custody Battle
Halle has been involved in a nasty custody battle with her ex partner Gabriel Aubry. The couple initially split up in 2010.
Halle Pulls Out of Movie Entitled New Year's Eve
Halle Berry has also dropped out of a movie entitled New Year's Eve. She blamed her pending custody litigation involving her daughter for her dropping out of this film.
She has recently claimed she has been unable to amicably resolve her custody issues with the child's father Gabriel. A representative for Halle Berry has stated "she has serious concerns for her daughter's well being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time and is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect her." Is the real issue that Nahia's father Gabriel Aubry is the parent who spends the majority of the time meeting the child's needs while Halle pursues her career. It appears that Gabriel spends a majority of the time taking care of this child, while Halle is off making movies and appearing in other productions.

Speeding Tickets
June 28th, 2011
Have you received a speeding ticket recently? Do you have moving violations and points against your license? If the answer to either of these questions is yes, you may be paying as much as $1,400 a year more for your car insurance!
Speeding Tickets Cause Car Insurance to Skyrocket
Insurance companies do not like speeders! One speeding ticket can cost you as much as $1,400 a year in increased premiums on your car insurance. Should you have more than one speeding ticket on your license, it can cost you as much as $1,700 a year in additional premiums on your car insurance.
Speeders and Drunk Drivers Considered Bad Risks
Insurance companies are in the business of making money. The insurance companies would rather not insure men and women who receive driving while intoxicated, summonses, speeding tickets or reckless driving tickets. Insurance companies consider these drivers bad risks.
Chris Kissell, the managing editor at Insurance.com, in a recent press release stated "the lesson is simple, drivers who speed, drink and drive or engage in other bad driving behaviors will pay through the nose if they want to keep their car insurance. The best way to save money on car insurance is to drive responsibly at all times."
Reducing Insurance Rates
The most effective means to keep your insurance low is to avoid receiving traffic tickets. If you receive traffic tickets, retain a qualified traffic ticket defense lawyer to represent you. The legal fees you pay will be very small compared to the increase in your car insurance over the next three to five years.
Should you be convicted of traffic infractions, the second best route is to enroll in a driver safety program. In New York State, these programs can eliminate 4 points from your driver's license.
If you receive a traffic ticket in the Metropolitan New York area, the law office of Elliot Schlissel can defend you regarding these matters. One of our attorneys is a former administrative law judge who dealt with traffic summons.
We also represent individuals charged with driving while intoxicated, assault, battery, domestic violence, computer crimes, sex crimes, burglary and all other misdemeanors and felonies. Feel free to call for a free consultation.
Smoker Told to Take Doctor's Advice or Return to Jail
June 27th, 2011
Mrs. McCloud was released from jail three months early to have a heart transplant. She ignored the advise of her doctors to stop smoking. She now either has to stop smoking, pursuant to the order of Judge Francis D. Ricigliano, or go back to jail!
Nassau County District Judge Francis D. Ricigliano told Diane McCloud that she must stop smoking. She also must submit to drug testing and she must comply with her doctor's requests.Ms. McCloud had been jailed after being convicted of taking $4,000 in merchandise from a Target store located in Westbury, New York. While she was incarcerated, her health went down hill. Her doctors determined she had less than six months to live. Justice Ricigliano felt sorry for Ms. McCloud and released her from jail, under the condition that she take all necessary steps suggested by her physicians to obtain a heart transplant.
Ms. McCloud's physician, Janjay Doddamani, the chairman of the cardiology department in Nassau County University Medical Center, contacted Judge Ricigliano. He advised the Judge and the District Attorney's office that Ms. McCloud had not been cooperating with him.
Ms. McCloud was brought back before the court. Judge Ricigliano made it clear that, unless she complied with her doctor's requests to stop smoking, he would send her back to jail and she would not have the opportunity to receive a heart transplant. Hopefully she is complying to the Judge's order.
The law office of Elliot Schlissel represents individuals charged with crimes or who are being investigated for crimes. We are experienced in representing individuals charged with computer and internet crimes, violent crimes, white collar crimes, sex crimes, weapons possession, driving while intoxicated (DWI), shoplifting, burglary, juvenile offenses, assault and battery, domestic violence, drug offenses and all other types of misdemeanors and felonies.

Grandparents Seek Visitation with Grandchildren
June 14th, 2011
In a case before Supreme Court Justice Janowitz, sitting in Nassau County, grandparents brought a proceeding seeking visitation with regard to their three grandchildren. The children's parents asked Judge Janowitz to dismiss the case. They claimed the grandparents lacked standing to bring this proceeding.
The grandparents' petition argued that they had enjoyed a good relationship with their grandchildren, but that the parents have cut off all visitation since January of 2010. The grandparents claim the cut off was without justification.
The parents argued that the grandparents behaved inappropriately and therefore they would not permit them to have access to their children. They claim the grandparents filed a false Child Protection Services report against them. The report was investigated and Child Protective Services found it to be unsubstantiated.
Court Finds For Grandparents
Justice Janowitz stated in his decision that where there is an established relationship between the grandparents and the grandchildren, the court would look into the basis of the parents' decision to cut off this relationship. Justice Janowitz felt that mere animosity or bad feelings between the parties was not a valid reason, under Domestic Relations Law Section 72(1), for cutting off grandparents access to their grandchildren. Justice Janowitz ordered a forensic evaluation to determine if the parents' allegations against the grandparents were true.
Grandparents' Rights and Fathers' Rights
Grandparents should have the right to develop a relationship with their grandchildren. Grandparents and fathers play important roles in children's lives and their rights are protected by the law in New York. We litigate all types of fathers' rights issues, including divorce, orders of protection, custody, visitation, child support, spousal maintenance (alimony), child abuse and child neglect proceedings.

Wife Gives Condo to Ex-husband
June 9th, 2011
Justice Belen sits in the Appellate Division of the Second Department located in Brooklyn. He recently wrote a decision regarding a joint will involving Sandra Angelo Murray. In the year 2000, Mr. & Mrs. Murray entered into a divorce settlement agreement. In the divorce settlement, they reaffirmed their 1993 joint will. This 1993 joint will bequeathed to the survivor of the two the entire estate of the first person to die, as well as property which either of them had the power to dispose of.
After the divorce, Sandra Murray deeded their Florida condo to her ex-husband. He deeded title of the condo in Roslyn, New York, to Sandra. They traded one property for another. In 2006, the Roslyn condo became part of an irrevocable trust. In the year 2007, Sandra conveyed the Rosyln condo equally to her and Jerome's four children.
A proceeding was brought under the New York Surrogates Court Procedure Act in Nassau County. The Surrogates Court held, and the 2nd Department (an appeals court) affirmed, that the will from 1993 was binding. Sandra could only bequeath the condo in Rosyln to Jerome. She could not bequeath it to her four children. The deed turning over the condo to the four children was therefore set aside and Jerome received the condo.
The law office of Elliot Schlissel can help you if you want to contest a will. We draft wills and we probate wills. We also draft all types of trusts including, but not limited to, revocable living trusts and irrevocable trusts. We assist our clients with Elder Care planning, medicaid applications, medicaid planning techniques, and we litigate nursing home abuse cases.

Nassau County District Attorney Informs Convicted Criminals About Family Crime Lab Analysis of Drugs
June 8th, 2011
Kathleen Rice is the District Attorney of Nassau County. She has recently notified three hundred inmates serving time in local and upstate penitentiaries that they should contact their attorneys or local legal aid organizations. This is on the heels of the disclosure of problems faced by the Nassau County Police Department's crime lab. Problems stemming from the crime lab could have affected the 300 inmates' cases.
Nassau County is currently involved in the process of re-testing all felony drug case material from 2008 to the present. In addition, Nassau County is also re-testing all blood-alcohol related material from as far back as 2006.
District Attorney Rice's letter to the inmates specifically stated the purpose of this letter is to make you aware of this situation and to provide you with contact information should you have any questions or wish to contact legal counsel.

Father's Conduct Not Contemptuous
May 25th, 2011
A proceeding was brought by a mother in Nassau County Supreme Court by Judge Falanga to hold her children's father in civil contempt. The mother alleged the father, who was awarded custody of their child, had refused to make reasonable accommodations related to her Orthodox Jewish religious practices. She argued that her Orthodox Jewish observence requirements prevented her from driving to pick up and drop off the child. She alleged there were numerous Jewish holidays that fell on her Wednesday visitation days.
Prior Court Order
Judge Falanga took note that there had been a previous order making the father aware of the importance of maintaining a relationship between the mother and the child. However, Judge Falanga did not grant the mother's application to find the father in contempt. The father suggested that an alternative to the Wednesday visitation, the mother have visitation with the child on Tuesdays. He claimed the mother refused to accept his offer of Tuesday visitation.
Judge Falanga found that although the father's actions disrupted the visitation routine between the mother and the child his conduct did not rise to the level of being contemptuous. He stated "while visitation was a most precious right the child corresponding need to have normal socialization and age appropriate activities could not be held hostage to a very occasional and intermitant inability of the mother to visit. The mother's motion to hold father in contempt was denied. Hooray for Judge Falanga!

Prenuptial Agreement In, Lawyer Out
May 19th, 2011
Supreme Court Justice Daniel Palmari recently disqualified Jeffrey S. Stephens from representing Edward Scannapieco, pursuant to a New York ethics rule that bars an attorney from working as an advocate in a case when his presence may have a "significant issue effect."
Justice Palmari found that attorney Stephens of Greenwich, Connecticut, had "testified because he had submitted an affirmation to the court indicating the facts related to the execution of an undisclosed pre-nuptial agreement." The pre-nuptial agreement is being contested by Machiell Scannapieco.
Justice Palmari stated his decision, "counsel here was a major participant in the event, as such his testimony is relevant to significant factual issues." Mr. & Mrs. Scannapieco were married December 30, 1989. Mrs. Scannapieco filed for divorce in 2010.
Mr. Scannapieco brought a proceeding to deny his wife spousal maintenance. He indicated in his motion that there was a November, 1989 pre-nuptial agreement that limited Mrs. Scannapieco's right to obtain spousal maintenance. He initially was unable to locate the document, but he found it shortly prior to bringing the application to the court.
Attorney Stephens stated in his court papers, "he prepared the agreement, negotiated the changes with an unidentified attorney representing the plaintiff-wife and he only recently found it in storage."
Justice Palmari indicated in his decision that the application of the pre-nuptial agreement will have to wait until the discovery process in the divorce proceeding is concluded. But since attorney Stephens may be a witness in this proceeding, he cannot represent one of the litigants. Justice Palmari stated, in referring to an earlier Nassau County decision, "that the preventing of an attorney from representing a litigant in a case where the lawyer may be a witness prevents any unfairness from arising from the lawyer's opportunity to present his case twice."
Justice Palmari indicated in his decision that since the case was in the initial stages, the elimination of Mr. Stephens from representing Mr. Scannapieco will not create a "substantial hardship."

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/085,858, filed May 27, 1998 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,529,114.
Not applicable.
1. Field of the invention
The present invention relates generally to magnetic field sensing devices and specifically to magnetic field sensing devices capable of sensing magnetic fields along two mutually perpendicular axes. Such two axis magnetic field sensors are required in many applications. Electronic compasses, magnetic field probes, and virtual reality are a few examples of applications where two axis magnetic field sensors are useful.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In the past, two axis magnetic field sensors were typically constructed using two single axis magnetic sensors. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,247,278 describes a single axis magnetic field sensor including an integral current strap for setting a direction of magnetization. Two of the sensing devices described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,247,278 can be used to form a two-axis magnetic field sensing device. For simplicity, two-axis magnetic field sensing devices will be referred to herein as an x-axis sensor and a y-axis sensor, meaning that the two axes are perpendicular. In the past, the two single axis sensors could be housed in a single package enclosure and oriented so that their sensitive directions were perpendicular to each other. Alternatively, two single-axis individually-packaged die could be mounted on a circuit board with the sensitive axis of each die perpendicular to the other die. There are disadvantages to the use of two single axis die. One disadvantage of this approach is that it requires extra assembly effort either at the package level or at the board level. In addition, it is difficult to locate the two single-axis die so that they are orthogonal to each other. The best control on the orthogonality of the two single-axis parts in high volume manufacture may be on the order of ±1°, which induces the same level error on compass heading.
A magnetoresistive sensor capable of measuring a low magnetic field requires that the magnetic moment be initially aligned in one direction, which usually is perpendicular to the sensitive direction of the sensor. With a uniform external magnetic field to initialize the alignment of magnetic moment, it is almost impossible to have an x-axis and a y-axis sensor on a single chip. In addition, generally a magnetic film used for magnetoresistive sensors will have its own crystal easy axis which is determined by a magnetic field applied during the deposition of the magnetic film. Single axis sensors typically utilize this easy axis and initially align the magnetic moment along it. Single axis magnetoresistive sensors usually have the crystal anisotropic field and the shape anisotropic field in the same direction to guard against magnetic and thermal disturbances and to maintain a stable and low noise sensor output. The stability of a magnetoresistive sensor is determined at least to some extent by how good it maintains a single magnetic domain state after the magnetic field for aligning or setting the magnetization is removed.
An integrated two-axis magnetoresistive sensor must have a sensitive direction in an x-axis and a sensitive direction along a y-axis. This means that at least one of the sensor's directions cannot be aligned with the crystal easy axis direction. Therefore, consideration must be given to how to deal with the crystal easy axis when attempting to construct a two-axis sensor on a single die, and how to initially align the magnetic moment in both an x direction and a y direction.
The advantage of a two-axis sensor on one die is that the orthogonality of the two sensors is controlled by the photolithography method, which has accuracy in the range of about 0.01°.
Thus a need exists for an integrated two-axis magnetoresistive sensor.
The present invention solves these and other needs by providing a two-axis integrated device for measuring magnetic fields including two sensor units formed from magnetoresistive material having a crystal anisotropy field direction. Elements of the first sensor unit have a total anisotropy field in a first direction. Elements of the second sensor unit have a total anisotropy field in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction. Means are provided for setting a direction of magnetization in the elements of the first and second sensor units. An output of the first sensor unit is representative of magnetic field components perpendicular to the first direction and an output of the second sensor is representative of magnetic field components perpendicular to the second direction.
A device for sensing magnetic field components along two axes is shown in the drawings and generally designated 10.
Elements 34, 36, 38 and 40 are shown connected as a second Wheatstone Bridge arrangement with a power supply connection at Vcc1(Y) and Vcc2(Y) and an output voltage connection between Vout+(Y) and Vout−(Y). In
In the two-axis device of the present invention, the X sensor and the Y sensor must have sensitive directions perpendicular to each other. In the specific embodiment of
The construction and operation of the two-axis magnetic field sensing device of the present invention will be explained by reference to the use of elongated strips of a magnetoresistive material such as Permalloy which are interconnected. Various other constructions are possible.
An elongated strip of magnetoresistive material may be considered to have an associated crystal anisotropy field and a shape anisotropy field. The total anisotropy field is the vector sum of the crystal anisotropy field and the shape anisotropy field.
In the traditional design of elements using elongated magnetoresistive strips, the barberpoles have been located at plus or minus 45° to the strips. According to the teachings of the present invention, the width of the barberpoles, the gap between barberpoles, and orientation relative to the magnetoresistive strip need to be optimized to provide an average current flow in the magnetoresistive material that is within about ±45° to the easy axis of total anisotropy fields in both X and Y sensors. In the present invention, within the borders of minimum width and maximum gap, the current flow direction mainly is determined by the barberpole orientations. The barberpole orientations for a specific element are either along the crystal anisotropy field direction or perpendicular to the crystal anisotropy field direction, depending on the position of the element in the Wheatstone bridge.
Now that the construction and operation of device 10 have been described, additional advantages can be set forth and appreciated. In the embodiment of
The operation of device 10 can be explained by using an arbitrary reference to certain directions. The elements of the x-axis sensor of
The present invention has been described with reference to the specific embodiment of
Permalloy films grown on silicon substrates in the presence of a magnetic field usually have magnetic preferred orientation. That is, it is a textured film and has an effective crystal anisotropy field. However, with carefully chosen substrates, the film deposited in the absence of a magnetic field could be random distributed, and without any magnetic preferred orientation, which means no effective crystal anisotropy field existing in the film.
Alternative embodiments of device 10 may use a random distributed film with no effective crystal anisotropy field. In this alternative embodiment, the total anisotropy field would include only the shape anisotropy field component and would be along the length of a magnetoresistive element. In this embodiment, the angle of the magnetoresistive elements with the set reset strap would be 90°, rather than the 95° angle shown in
Spatial relationships other than those shown in
A single magnetoresistive strip could form a leg of a Wheatstone bridge, rather than the multiple strips of magnetoresistive material shown in
Magnetoresistive elements could be devised with different barberpole orientations for different portions of a single leg of a Wheatstone bridge, with the set-reset current flowing in opposite directions at the different portions of the single leg.
In addition, spatial relationships of elements, arrangements of barberpoles, forms of a set-reset strap and other variations not specifically described herein can be devised.
Thus since the invention disclosed herein may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or general characteristics thereof, some of which forms have been indicated, the embodiments described herein are to be considered in all respects illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is to be indicated by the appended claims, rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are intended to be embraced therein.

About Etta Dale Junior High
Etta Dale Junior High is comprised of 3 buildings. The main building was built in 1937, then the Marsh Memorial building was added in 1957, and finally Lucus Memorial Hall was constructed in 1967. Etta Dale Junior High serves 8th and 9th grade students. Presently, Etta Dale serves approximately 400 students with 37 faculty and staff members.
The Women and Men Behind the Name
Etta Dale Junior High
Miss Etta Dale was a teacher and principal in the El Reno Public Schools for 52 years (1892-1944). She was a truly great teacher who inspired literally thousands of young people by precept and example. As a member of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame and many honored societies, she was applauded by a grateful citizenship for her achievements while she was yet living by the naming of this school structure in her honor and by commissioning an eminent artist to do a portrait in oils to emphasize her identity with the building that bears her name. Her capacity for love and understanding sustained all who lived within her sphere of influence. Certainly no more distinguished citizen ever resided in El Reno and her name will always be spoken with tenderness and love by all who knew her.
Walter P. Marsh Memorial Building
Walter P. Marsh served as principal of El Reno High School for 23 years (1935-1958). He is most fondly remembered by students as he lead the students in a yell called "The Sausage Grinder".
Lucus Memorial Hall
This addition was named in honor Lieutenant John Leon Lucus. He was the first Canadian Country resident to give his life in World War II. This was the second hall to have been named for Lt. Lucus. The first was erected in 1944 at Fort Reno. When World War II ended and buildings at the fort were torn down, Lucus Hall was among them. The materials from that building were given to the El Reno school system to be used in its building expansion program.

Comments about Deep Drawer for Click and Go Storage System:
Having plunged wholeheartedly into the L-Boss system, my latest purchase was the L-Rack-S and LST72-OD 72mm Drawer. For constant use tools this is an easy access must have for sure. Personally I think the L-Rack shelves are is better than the 3 shelf L-Rack unit. With each individual shelf you have the click and go tabs for easier customization. If you own any other style of L-Boxx then these easily attach underneath. One thing I find is a must mention the L-Rack-Self seems it's best designed to fit underneath the L-Boxx3D-RT of L-Boxx-4. My reasoing behind this is that the suitcase handle on the L-Boxx-1-2-3's hang down near the handhold for the LST72-OD drawer. For me this is disrupts the ease of access when quick reaching for a tool, though that's no deal breaker. This whole system has been very well though out for the large part. The L-Racks make for a great light weight tool rack for on the go, or for those who workspace is an utter premium. Certainly it's an investment to have a stack of these but the organizational benefits are beyond measure.
