Drupal upgrade easier
The standard procedure to upgrade Drupal to the latest release is to download it from drupal.org and follow the included UPGRADE.txt.
For administrators using the UNIX shell it may be easier using the attached patch files below instead of downloading and installing the newest complete Drupal release.
To patch your Drupal installation follow UPGRADING.txt up to and including
- for Drupal 6: 5. Disable all custom and contributed modules.
- for Drupal 7: 2. Go to Administration > Configuration > Development > Maintenance mode...
Now go on using this commands:
cd DRUPAL-ROOT
- Dry run for testing without modifying anything:
patch -p1 --dry-run < PATCHFILE
- Do the real patching:
patch -p1 < PATCHFILE
Your Drupal installation is now upgraded. proceed with UPGRADING.txt from
- for Drupal 6: 9. Verify the new configuration file to make sure it has correct information.
- for Drupal 7: 5. Re-apply any modifications to files such as .htaccess or robots.txt.
Note: Most important step after upgrading is to run update.php as described in UPGRADING.txt above.
Note: If the patch process gets interrupted and leaves a mix of patched and unpatched files you may re-run it by ignoring already patched files after eliminating the reason of the interruption:
patch -p1 -N < PATCHFILE
You may savely remove reject files created during that process:
find . -name "*.rej" | xargs rm

Thank you so much for this page. I used to hate the "Update of the week" from drupal. With these patches it is a SNAP!
drupal-5.14-to-5.15.patch works properly
Thank you for your great job. I have used the drupal-5.14-to-5.15.patch on a multi-site installation and it worked without any errors.
Thanks a lot dude! With your
Thanks a lot dude! With your work updating drupal it really takes just only a second! Thanks and thanks again :)
Thank you!
Once more, thank you so much for this page! Using these patches has really saved me lots of time when upgrading our system to 6.12.
Big time-saver!
I just upgraded three of my drupal sites using your patch files, and for once, they went smoothly, and QUICKLY!
Thank you!
Thank you for providing all
Thank you for providing all this useful stuff on your page.
How to use, I don't understand the procedure
I have a windows based laptop from which I am going to try to upgrade my site which resides on a linux box. I currently use 6.6 and would like to upgrade to 6.14.
Can someone here please give me a step-by-step. I have been regretting not knowing enough and installing drupal. And upgradations are the only reasons. Please help.
Nice work! Maybe a little problem on 6.9->6.14 ?
Nice work, really nice work.
You saved me hours every upgrade!!
Im afraid to ask you, but did you check the 6.9 to 6.14 patch? Because im getting some errors and, since before it went smooth all the times, im wondering if maybe you upload a wrong file (i do it all the time ;) ).
Thanks again
No problem
Tried it with a fresh 6.9 and the patch went through without a hitch. May be you did some changes to your 6.9 files in the past?
Thank you
I favor quick and simple approaches, and eventually gave yours a try with 6.14-to-6.15. For me, this is definitely the way to go. Thank you very much indeed!
Smooth update!
Thanks for the great patch set - the update was smooth!
...a lot of them. I was choosing a CMS, and I was thinking about dropping drupal just for the upgrade complexity (hey, in wordpress is just clicking a button...). You saved the day.
This is *the* recommended way
This is *the* recommended way of upgrading Drupal! I just upgraded from 6.15 to 6.16 and it worked flawlessly and was over in a couple of methods. It's so easy compared to the method suggested in upgrade.txt (download tarball, remove all old files, unzip tarball... no thanks!).
The instructions are pretty simply but because they reference upgrade.txt I thought I would share the entire process here as a quick overview (please make sure you still read upgrade.txt and instructions on this page):
1. backup drupal db
2. backup drupal root directory and sub directories
3. Make sure you are logged in as admin (uid=1)
4. Place site in maintainece mode, /admin/settings/site-maintenance
5. If using a custom or contributed theme, switch to a core theme, such as Garland or Bluemarine.
6. get latest patch file from http://fuerstnet.de/en/drupal-upgrade-easier
6. cd your-drupal-directory
7. Dry run: patch -p1 --dry-run < patchfile
8. Patch: patch -p1 < patch-file
9. Verify the new configuration file to make sure it has correct information. sites/default/settings.php
10. Run update.php by visiting /update.php

Any ideas on how to solve?
Check the Drupal version
I tried the drupal-6.14-to-6.16.patch file with a fresh Drupal 6.14 - no problem. Run the
patch command from within the root of your Drupal installation. Also make sure your Drupal version is at 6.14 (check the included CHANGELOG.txt). Did you modify the Drupal core files?
Thanks... I did it the old school way
I wasn't able to successfully patch 6.14 to 6.16 so I just did it the old-fashioned way. :)
Thanks, anyway. :)
Thanks for your work
I tried to diff a drupal installation, when i discover your out-of-the-box-working ones.
Nice job !
I love you for sharing this.

Now THAT is handy
Awesome job friend :) This is a very convenient way to update. I've been using Drush to my core updates, but it involves a lot more directory/file-moving (danger!). I use git, so if patches break, it's no biggie. Thanks!

I just used this upgrade and was just reminded how easy and straightforward it is.
Great work, dude, a lot of us can vouch that this is pretty important code you are working on :)
New patch
Hi, first of all, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this one! It's so smooth!
A question for you: When the patch for drupal 6.19 to 6.20 will be released ?
Thanks in advance for your time
Thanks! And an update error
Hi there, thanks for providing these patches! This patch update method is definitely the easiest for me.
However, I had a bit of an issue with my 6.19 -> 6.20 upgrade. The dry run didn't give me any significant errors that I couldn't work around. So went ahead and applied the patch. However, the patch process got up to this point and failed:
patching file modules/user/user.module
patching file robots.txt
patching file sites/default/default.settings.php
patch: **** Can't remove file sites/default/default.settings.php : Permission denied
The problem is that it failed and stopped, leaving me with a half patched system. Fortunately the only remaining items were a few default theme folders, which I manually copied over to my root. But are there any workarounds so that this doesn't happen again?
Thanks a lot!
No write access to this file?
The message Permission denied does mean you do not have write access to the file sites/default/default.settings.php. Make sure, you either own it and it is writable by you or temporarily (and as the user who owns it) set it to writable by anyone before patching.
re: No write access to this file?
Thanks for the reply Bernhard.
Yes, this file was not writeable. I guess I was just wondering if there is any way to make the process a bit more failsafe, so that it continues patching the rest of the files even if there is an error.
re: No write access to this file?
I had the same problem with a single site configuration (where the settings.php is in sites/default and not in sites/example.com). I was wondering because with the --dry-run option I didn't get any error.
I guess, that the folder containing settings.php will be set to read only by the drupal installation script.
So you may run
chmod u+w sites/default/ in drupal root before patching drupal and
chmod u-w sites/default/ after patching.
A++ would patch again.
The standard upgrade instructions made me cry myself to sleep at night, but this patch file is absolutely amazing. I have my site running on a new core after only 10 minutes.
Thank you so much! :D
disable selinux first
If you use CentOS or Redhat with selinux, be sure to turn selinux either off or to permissive mode before patching.
Thanks for the patch,
Patch 6.x to 7.x?
Hi! I just patched Drupal to 6.20 and want to thank you - again! - for this great tool. I was wondering if you have any plans of releasing a patch for drupal 6.20 to 7.0? That would mean a lot to use who manage drupal on a daily basis. Thank you again.
Please try with caution
I created 2 patch files (see above):
- drupal-5.23-to-6.22.patch
- drupal-6.22-to-7.2.patch
When testing against the corresponding lower version it did look 100% good. Please try with caution anyway!
patch: **** strip count l is
patch: **** strip count l is not a number
Checked the hashtag, and it matches.
I'll be honest, I tried
I'll be honest, I tried patching while I was tired, this is really a no no. I've used quite a few of these patches before. The 6.22 to 7.4 took a wrong turn. I have a multisite install and I had all sites in off-line mode but I did neglect to set default themes. My default.settings.php file was unwriteable as well. Is there a logical way to resolve my issue ?
Currently I'm receiving the following errors:
Notice: Use of undefined constant DRUPAL_ROOT - assumed 'DRUPAL_ROOT' in /home1/.../public_html/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 1971
Warning: require_once(DRUPAL_ROOT../includes/errors.inc) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home1/.../public_html/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 1971
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'DRUPAL_ROOT../includes/errors.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home1/.../public_html/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 1971
Try searching drupal.org
At my tests (vanilla 6.22 patched using drupal-6.22-to-7.4.patch) the default.settings.php is writable.
For the DRUPAL_ROOT problem try searching drupal.org, i.e. http://drupal.org/node/1009966. Looks like a 6.x -> 7.x upgrading issue.
I've been reading all that
I've been reading all that info and haven't been able to get a good handle on where to set the define("DRUPAL_ROOT", since I dont have an external script, would I make this change in the patch and run it again ?
Follow the standard upgrade path
I indeed pointed you to something not helpful for your situation, sorry! I guess something else is messed up in your setup. You rather should follow the standard upgrade path as described in drupal-7.4/UPGRADE.txt than using the patch file.
Malformed patch error when upgrading 7.0 to 7.2
You are doing an awesome job! I am using your patches all the time. Today was the first time when I got an error when doing a dry run.
When upgrading 7.0 to 7.2, I get this:
Patching file misc/watchdog-error.png using Plan A...
patch: **** malformed patch at line 6163: diff -Naur drupal-7.0/misc/watchdog-ok.png drupal-7.2/misc/watchdog-ok.png
Thanks in advance!
Got no error when throwing
Got no error when throwing the patch against a vanilla Drupal 7.0 as described above. Please make sure the patch file you downloaded does not changed somehow at your machine: check the MD5 hash using `md5` or `md5sum`.
I downloaded vanilla Drupal
I downloaded vanilla Drupal 7.0, extracted it and ran the patch against it with no problems. So something else was fishy with my install. My bad. Thank you!
Thank you very much. This is
Thank you very much. This is AWESOME!!! this way its also easy to maintain any core patches as i dont have to reapply them!
Thanks again for your great work
upgrade from 6.20 to 6.22 for multisites
can i use the above described approach to upgrade my drupal multisites from drupl 6.20 to 6.22? if can't, how should i do this? thanks.
Patching Drupal will upgrade
Patching Drupal will upgrade all Sites in your
sites/ directory. Make sure you run update.php for every site after upgrading.
Drupal 7.7 to 7.8
Any chance of getting a 7.7 to 7.8 update? I find that this method of updating drupal sites more convenient compared to their manual download upgrade.
Thanks - must have missed
Thanks - must have missed that release.

California Executions Remain On Hold For This Year
Lecturer and U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel is quoted by Howard Mintz of the San Jose Mercury News on how the postponement of the state's case on lethal injection procedures may be weighing on the public.
California will go yet another year without an execution on the largest death row in the nation.
The ongoing legal challenge to the state's lethal injection procedures will not be completed this year, resulting in further delays in the ability of state officials to carry out executions at San Quentin state prison.
Lawyers for the state and for death row inmates revealed during a conference with a federal judge last week that they will not be ready for a hearing in the case until at least December, according to a transcript of the proceeding released Monday.
"Frankly, the public looks at this and they say, well, why aren't there any executions?" Fogel told the lawyers at the conference. "All they know is that it is taking five years to get closure in this case."
Fogel more than four years ago found California's execution procedures rife with problems and effectively put executions on hold. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's administration responded with new procedures, including building a new death chamber and upgrading training for execution team members, but those procedures got entangled in a separate legal battle in the state courts.

Abstract: In the title compound, C24H25ClN2O2, the 2-hydroxybenzyl substituents and the 2-chlorophenyl group occupy the sterically preferred equatorial positions, whereas the methyl group occupies the axial position. The imidazolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation with one of the N atoms adjacent to the methylene group as the flap. The chlorophenyl substituent approaches a nearly perpendicular orientation relative to the mean plane of the imidazolidine ring, making a dihedral angle of 73.44 (12)° and the Cl atom is almost coplanar with the C atom bearing the chlorophenyl substituent [Cl-C-C-C torsion angle = 1.1 (3)°]. The hydroxybenzyl groups make dihedral angles of 71.23 (15) and 69.13 (19)° with the mean plane of the heterocyclic ring. The dihedral angle between the two hydroxybenzyl groups is 69.61 (12)°. The molecular structure features two intramolecular O-HN hydrogen bonds with graph-set motif S(6) between the phenolic hydroxyl groups and N atoms.

Ever since Hassan Rowhani's election as Iran's new president last Friday, many Westerners have been enthusing over the prospects of a negotiated solution to Tehran's nuclear program. But these enthusiasts should take a long, hard look at what Rowhani actually said at his very first press conference: Asked whether direct talks with Washington were possible, he replied, "First of all, the Americans have to say… that they will never interfere in Iran's internal affairs. Second, they have to recognize all of the Iranian nation's due rights including nuclear rights. And third, they have to put aside oppressive… policies towards Iran."
In other words, the U.S. must first promise to let the nuclear program proceed unhindered, lift all sanctions and recognize the mullahs' regime as legitimate. Only then, once there's nothing left to talk about because America has already capitulated fully to Iran's demands, can negotiations begin.
If this sounds familiar, it should: It's the exact same tactic Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has been using to evade negotiations with Israel for four years now. As his Fatah party's central committee reiterated for the umpteenth time yesterday, the PA won't agree to talks unless Israel first freezes all settlement construction (by which the PA means even huge Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem that everyone knows would remain Israeli under any deal), accepts the 1967 lines (including in Jerusalem) as the basis for the final border and releases Palestinian terrorists from Israeli jails. In other words, it will agree to negotiate only after there's nothing left to talk about, since Israel has already capitulated fully to its demands on several key final-status issues: borders, Jerusalem, settlements and prisoners.
As Alan Baker, a former legal advisor to Israel's Foreign Ministry, explained in detail on Tuesday, these preconditions are completely groundless.
"Nowhere in the history of the peace process negotiations is there any commitment to the '1967 borders'," he wrote. "The opposite is in fact the case. All the agreements between Israel and the PLO, as well as the peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, base themselves in their preambular paragraphs on the call by the international community, in UN Security Council resolution 242 of 1967, for 'secure and recognized boundaries.'"
And though Baker didn't mention it, not only doesn't that resolution demand a withdrawal to the 1967 lines, but it was explicitly worded to allow Israel to retain some of the territory it captured in 1967.
Baker also noted that "Israel has never, in any of its agreements with the Palestinians, undertaken to freeze settlement activity in territory it continues to administer pursuant to the agreements with the Palestinians." Indeed, he wrote, the Oslo Accords explicitly permitted Israel to keep building in the part of the West Bank known as Area C, and designated the settlements as "one of the agreed-upon final-status negotiation issues, together with borders, refugees, water, Jerusalem and security."
While Baker doesn't address the prisoner issue, that, too, is a classic final-status one. In Northern Ireland, for instance–a precedent Westerners love to cite–the prisoners were freed only after the Good Friday Agreement was signed, not before negotiations even began.
Thus the PA's insistence that Israel agree on all these final-status issues before talks even start effectively ensures that the talks never will start–and that is equally true of Rowhani's preconditions.
But Rowhani has assuredly noticed that this tactic has worked beautifully for the Palestinians: Much of the world continues to insist that the absence of talks is Israel's fault, for not accepting the PA's preconditions. So who can blame him for hoping it will work equally well for Iran?

NO$GBA 2.6a + NO$Zoomer - Nintendo DS emulator for PC (Size: 1.16 MB)
I tested it for a few days, works very well, with small glitches.
NO$Zoomer makes NDS games well visible, if you own a panoramic LCD with a 90' flip option you can really enjoy Dual Screen games to the fullest.
New screen filters also make graphics look a lot better.
This emu is compatible with Final Fantasy IV.
To play, run NO$Zoomer (not the emulator itself) and choose the game.
Enjoy !!!

(Jul 02, 2009) On June 23, 2009, the Presidents' Conference of the National Assembly, which comprises all the presidents of that body's political groups, upon the proposal of the President of the National Assembly created a commission to study the wearing of the burqa or niqab in French territory. The decision was unanimous. (Assemblée Nationale, Conférence des Présidents, http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/13/controle/mission_information_presid
ents.asp (last visited June 29, 2009). The burqa is a black or blue robe worn by Muslim women, especially in Afghanistan, covering the body from head to toe, with only a mesh screen over the eyes, while the niqab is typically a full-body veil with slits for the eyes. It is usually black.
The decision came after a group of 58 Members of the National Assembly, concerned about a growing number of women wearing burqas or niqabs in France, had called for an inquiry commission to be created on the subject. (L'Assemblée créé une mission d'information sur le voile intégral, LEMONDE.FR, June 23, 2009, available at Archives, through online subscription.) It was decided, instead of creating an inquiry commission, to create a study commission to exchange information and to hold a dialogue. The former has more powers but requires a vote of the National Assembly. The study commission will be put in place in July and should render its report in six months. (Id.)
In addition, on June 22, in a speech before both Chambers of Parliament, French President Nicolas Sarkozy addressed the issue and stated that "the problem of the burqa is not a religious problem. It is a problem relating to the freedom and the dignity of the woman. It is a sign of subservience, a sign of debasement. I want to solemnly say it: the burqa is not welcome in the territory of the French Republic." He further stated, "[w]e cannot accept in our country women prisoners behind a screen, cut off from any social life, deprived of identity. It is not the idea that we have of a woman's dignity." (Id.)

graphic areas (such as concurrent operations in the Arctic and Antarctic), open additional solutions for conducting Antarctic logistics, allow safer multiple-ship operations in the most demanding ice conditions and areas, and increase opportunities for international expeditions. Finally, an up-front decision to build two new polar icebreakers will allow economies in the design and construction process and provide a predictable cost reduction for the second ship.
The committee was asked to consider alternative ship ownership options. Considering the McMurdo break-in mission alone, the committee found that only a U.S.-flagged, U.S.-owned, and U.S.-operated ship provides sufficiently reliable control. While that ship might be leased commercially through a long-term lease-build arrangement, from a total fleet perspective it may be more cost-effective if science missions users only pay incremental costs—as has been the case in the past—and if U.S. Coast Guard provides McMurdo resupply support from the multimission icebreaker fleet. Also, the sovereign presence of the United States is not well served by a "leased ship." Commercially or internationally leased ships may not provide a practical backup for a uniformed service ship that is not owned by the United States government. Such commercial or international arrangements do not ensure that the United States could assert its foreign policy at times and places of its choosing. Increasing world demand for polar icebreakers to support Arctic oil and gas exploration and development has significantly reduced the number of available ships, making long-term lease of an existing ship difficult.
The U.S. Coast Guard has a legacy of almost 140 years of supporting the nation's icebreaking needs in the polar regions. The U.S. Coast Guard has the overarching missions to protect the public, the environment, and U.S. economic interests throughout the maritime environment, including ice-covered waters. The committee finds that the U.S. Coast Guard is the best federal agency to operate polar icebreakers in continued support of vital national interests in the rapidly changing polar regions. In this, the committee agrees with the PIRS 84 study that concluded, "An icebreaker fleet is essential to the national interest" and "should be operated by the U.S. Coast Guard."
The committee concludes that the research support mission and other U.S. Coast Guard missions can, in many cases, be compatibly performed with a single ship. The two existing Polar class ships and the HEALY are equipped to support research and have productively served that mission. The committee believes that it is advantageous to configure the U.S. Coast Guard ships with appropriate science facilities as well as facilities for the Coast Guard's more general missions. In the long run, constituting the nation's icebreaking fleet as a single fleet of complementary ships will yield more capability and should be more cost-effective than if each agency independently acquires icebreaking ships. This approach is in line with the long-held belief that the nation can gain the greatest economy from the sharing of assets across agencies and programs when appropriate and feasible and that those users should share in the incremental increase in cost associated with directed usage of national assets.
The committee was asked in what manner to acquire ships. The benefits of constructing a new ship were compared to overhauling and extending the life of POLAR STAR or POLAR SEA. A so-called service life extension program (SLEP) involves wholesale replacement of the propulsion plant and auxiliary, control, and habitation support systems. While the cost of a new hull could be avoided, the retrofit of most systems would be costly and limited by the constraints of the existing hull. The committee recommends new construction for several reasons. First, the new ship could be designed to incorporate the desired mix of mission capabilities without the constraints of the existing Polar class hull. There are very effective new technologies, particularly new hull designs (such as the double-acting hull), that could offer improvements in efficiency and effectiveness. Rough estimates provided to the committee indicate that the cost of reconstruction (SLEP) would be substantial, perhaps approaching that of new construction. A newly designed ship would also meet more stringent environmental standards than the current ships.
Recommendation 4: National interests in the polar regions require that the United States immediately program, budget, design, and construct two new polar icebreakers to be operated by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Even under the best conditions, the new polar icebreakers will not enter service for another 8 to 10 years until the program, budget, design, construction, and test phases are completed. During this time, the United States needs a transition strategy to ensure a minimum level of icebreaker capability. To meet this need, the committee recommends a maintenance upgrade strategy to keep the POLAR SEA mission capable until at least the first new polar ship enters service. The renewal and maintenance costs to keep this ship mission capable are much lower than a service life extension program. The resulting capability, an upgraded POLAR SEA and a fully capable HEALY, is less than this committee believes the nation needs, but it is a cost-effective strategy that emphasizes new construction rather than maintenance of aging ships. The committee also advises that the POLAR STAR continue to be kept in caretaker status, with minimal crew and indefinitely moored at the U.S. Coast Guard pier. If the POLAR SEA has catastrophic problems, the POLAR STAR could be minimally upgraded and brought back into service within a year or so.
This strategy carries some risk, and that risk comes from a decade of inaction. The strategy would permit the United States to locate an icebreaker (POLAR SEA and HEALY) in each polar region as needed. By operating together the two ships could reinforce each other in the most challenging ice

Samsung Begins Mass Production of Industry's First 3-bit NAND Solid State Drive for Data Centers
Seoul, Korea on Apr. 28. 2014
Will allow data centers to improve workload management for social networking, web browsing and email experiences for users
Samsung Electronics, Co., Ltd., the world leader in advanced memory technology, said today that it has begun mass producing the industry's first high-performance, three-bit-NAND-based SSD for servers and data centers. The new SSD will allow data centers to better manage workloads related to social networking, web browsing and email, and enhance operation efficiency. Installations of the 3-bit MLC (multi-level-cell) NAND SSDs, initially in large-scale data centers, are expected to begin later this quarter.
"Following the last year's introduction of 3-bit NAND-based SSDs for PC markets, our new 3-bit SSD for data centers will help considerably in expanding the market base for SSDs," said Young-Hyun Jun, executive vice president, memory sales and marketing, Samsung Electronics. "We expect SSD market growth will gain momentum as this new SSD delivers significant improvements in data center investment efficiency, leading to full-fledged commercialization of SSDs in IT systems later this year."
The new PM853T SSD, available in densities of 240GB, 480GB and 960GB, offers high levels of random IOPS (inputs/output per second) performance and quality of service (QoS), both essential for data center and cloud server applications. In light of these benefits, Samsung expects the adoption of 3-bit SSDs in data centers to advance rapidly in replacing the 2-bit SSD market.
In broadening the market base for SSDs, the new PM853T SSD will enable IT managers to optimize their SSD upgrades at investment levels similar to those of consumer SSDs. The PM853T delivers a 30 percent increase in manufacturing efficiency compared to SSDs that use 2-bit NAND flash components.
Utilizing Samsung's 10 nanometer (nm)-class* 3-bit NAND flash components and advanced controller technology, the new drive features a sequential read speed of 530 megabytes per second (MB/s), while writing sequentially at 420MB/s. It also will read data randomly at 90,000 IOPS and handle sustained random writes at 14,000 IOPS.
Since it first produced the 3-bit NAND-based 840 EVO SSD in 2012, Samsung has taken the lead in providing SSDs for ultra-slim notebooks and PCs. With the PM853T, it has now secured a strong foothold for high-efficiency SSDs in large data centers.
Through this introduction of a SATA 6Gb/s 3-bit SSD, Samsung is reinforcing its collaboration with global data center and server customers, while continuing to offer the broadest line up of competitive SSDs (spanning SATA, SAS, and PCIe/NVMe interfaces) to increase its leadership position in the premium SSD market.
According to a market research report from IHS iSuppli, the global SSD market is expected to grow approximately 30 percent from U.S. $9.4 billion in 2013 to U.S. $12.4 billion in 2014. The report says it will also maintain a high growth rate over the next several years, reaching up to U.S. $20 billion in 2017.

I've been making my way through two excellent new books, Courtney Martin's Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters: The Frightening New Normalcy of Hating your Body and Jessica Valenti (of Feministing)'s Full Frontal Feminism: A Young Woman's Guide to Why Feminism Matters. Valenti's book showed up three days before Martin's, so I'll review it first as well.
I'll be honest. I was worried I wasn't going to like Jessica's book, which would be a pity, because I really dig Jessica. The title made me wince, and the cover (featuring a young woman's bare torso, reminiscent of the cover of Brumberg's Body Project) didn't make me much happier. Jessica told New York Magazine, in defense of her cover, …let's face it, no young woman is going to pick up a book with the woman's symbol with a fist on it. She may be right, but "naked stomach" or "clenched fist" seems a bit of a false dichotomy. Never mind. You can't judge a book and all that… (Note: Ilyka Damen has a strong reaction to the cover. Read it here).
As I've been mentioning 'round these parts, I'm hitting 40 this month. I am excited about it for any number of reasons, but I am very aware that my ageing means I need to adapt my teaching. I was 27 when I started teaching women's history here at PCC, a full year younger than Valenti is now. My students were mostly about 21-24, so I was essentially a slightly older peer. Now, I teach classes where the average age has dropped about three years(fewer reentry students, more kids coming to community college straight out of high school), and I'm a baker's dozen years older. I'm now at least two decades older than most of my students. I do have a couple of students now whose fathers are younger than I am, and that number will inexorably increase each year. The "young and hip" label is fading, and that's not a bad thing.
But I came into my feminism in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I did all my coursework in the second Reagan and Bush 41 administrations. I'm a "second wave" feminist through and through. And though I do try and "stay current", it's a much harder thing to do with seven classes of teaching and a regular life than it was when I was an undergrad or a beginning grad student. If I'm not careful, I risk teaching in a way that seems dated and antiquated. While ideas like "equality" and "parity" and "justice" never go out of style, the ways in which we talk about those ideas change regularly. And I've been acutely aware that I need to incorporate the voices of younger feminists in to my syllabus.
Full Frontal Feminism fits the bill perfectly. It's a quick, easy read. Jessica's style is much the same as it is on her blog: deceptively breezy. She writes conversationally and confessionally, as most good bloggers do; she uses profanity liberally enough to make me squirm just a little bit. But underneath this very accessible style, there's a lot of depth. What Jessica does is lay out a powerful, impassioned polemic. She makes the case that not only is feminism still relevant to those born post-Roe, post-Watergate, and even post-Cold War — it's still essential. The greatest single threat to women's freedom is the widely accepted lie that feminism is no longer needed, that all of the important battles were won one (or now, two) generations ago. Jessica's youth, her background, and her keen awareness of what matters to teen and twenty-something women make her the perfect messenger to update a message that goes back to Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Woman. This is the right book at the right time to play an important part in spreading the good news of an ongoing feminist revival.
I've decided to assign Full Frontal Feminism to my women's studies class, starting this fall. I'll still assign the aforementioned Body Project, and I'm not ready, yet, to accept that The Handmaid's Tale is too dated to be relevant to students born years after its 1985 publication. And I love my main text, Through Women's Eyes. But Jessica's book fills an important niche, and I'm guessing my students will find it compelling, useful, and above all, helpful in moving them to a place where they too can "claim the name" of Feminist for themselves.

Law School Welcomes Class of 2015
Students may be entering Willamette during difficult economic times, but law schools continue to provide a uniquely rigorous education that prepares students for careers in multiple professions, Dean Peter Letsou said to the law school's first-year class.
Letsou and other administrators welcomed 139 students to the College of Law Wednesday morning. The students will spend the next few days meeting with judges and lawyers who will introduce them to the basics of professionalism, ethics, briefing cases and other skills they'll tackle during their three years at Willamette. Classes start next Monday.
Members of the class of 2015 speak 20 languages other than English. They've traveled or studied abroad in 51 countries and majored in 35 subjects during their undergraduate years. The median age of the class is 25.
"You'll discover that the relationship you build with the person sitting next to you, in front of you or behind you may very well last a lifetime," said Carolyn Dennis, the law school's admission director. "The next three years will strengthen your endurance and commitment to your professional goals."
Among the speakers Wednesday morning were Willamette University President Stephen E. Thorsett, who challenged students to "love the law; nurture it with care and reverence," and former Oregon Supreme Court Chief Justice Edwin Peterson, who passed along some advice from students: seek out second- and third-year students for advice; participate in Moot Court competitions -- and relax.
"Our role is to ensure that you are equipped with all the provisions you will need for this demanding profession," Letsou said. "To this end, we will train you hard during your three years with us. Your admission to this school demonstrates our confidence that you have the ability to meet this challenge."

The long-spiked glasswort is one of many species of Salicornia (glassworts) living in salt marshes around British and Irish coasts.
Glassworts are not seaweeds but flowering plants belonging to the Goosefoot family (Chenopodiaceae).
They can be easily recognised by their branched fleshy stems which appear to have no leaves.
Salicornia dolichostachya is difficult to tell apart from other similar species.
These plants are are highly adapted to the extreme environment of the sea shore which means:
As such, they make an important contribution to the transformation of mud flats into salt marshes.
Salicornia dolichostachya is a succulent annual plant that grows up to 45cm tall and looks very much like its close relatives. Find out more.
Salicornia dolichostachya is found in salt marshes across northern Europe. Discover how the long-spiked glasswort has adapted to its extreme environment and how it helps make the salt marshes suitable for other plants too.

"I was brought up close to the salt marshes of south-west Lancashire and have been lucky to work in these fascinating environments for over 35 years. I still look forward to the few days a year survey work that allows me to stand soaking-wet and muddy-booted on the shore watching the falling tide reveal an expanse of vegetation. Glassworts symbolise what is arguably the most extensive extreme environment for plants in the UK and play a key role in creating that habitat. They are also one of the only 'seafoods' that I will eat!"

FORT TOTTEN, ND – Speaking at the tribal headquarters of the Spirit Lake Sioux Nation, attorney Reed Soderstrom announced a lawsuit against the NCAA alleging copyright infringement and civil rights violations. The Sioux tribe supports the University of North Dakota's "Fighting Sioux" nickname and logo, but the NCAA has deemed them to be "hostile and abusive."
"Today, the Spirit Lake Tribe of Indians, by and through its Committee of Understanding and Respect, and Archie Fool Bear, individually, and as Representative of more than 1004 Petitioners of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, filed a lawsuit against the National Collegiate Athletic Association in direct response to their attempt to take away and prevent the North Dakota Sioux Indians from giving their name forever to the University of North Dakota," said Soderstrom in prepared remarks.
Soderstrom alleges that the NCAA has violated "the religious and first amendment rights of the Dakota Sioux tribes." He also alleged a double standard in the application of the NCAA's policy against the use of Native American names and imagery.
"Though the NCAA has decided 'Fighting Sioux' is derogatory, the NCAA supports the University of Illinois' use of the name 'Fighting Illini,' and the use by Florida State University of the name 'Seminoles' along with the Seminole mascot – someone dressed in Native American attire who rides into the FSU stadium on a horse and throws a flaming spear before every home football game," said Soderstrom. "The NCAA claims these are not derogatory depictions because the Illini people and the Seminole people approve of the use of the name and mascot. Inexplicably, the NCAA fails to accept the tribal vote and the sacred religious ceremony as endorsements of the name 'Fighting Sioux' by the North Dakota Sioux Nation."
The lawsuit claims that the Sioux tribe were "indispensable parties" to a lawsuit filed by the State of North Dakota against the NCAA in 2007, the settlement of which required the state to get permission from the Spirit Lake and Standing Rock Sioux tribes, but were never included in negotiations of that settlement. It also alleges defamation, violations of the Indian Civil Rights Act, defamation and an unlawful restraint on trade.
The lawsuit asks that the NCAA's policy be stricken and that the organization pay punitive damages in the amount of $10 million.
Earlier this year the North Dakota legislature passed a law ordering the University of North Dakota to keep the "Fighting Sioux" nickname despite NCAA sanctions. The bill was signed into law by Governor Jack Dalrymple, but after a meeting between state officials and NCAA leadership in Indiana Dalrymple and other state leaders feel the law should be repealed in an upcoming special session of the legislature.

Displayport is a relatively new digital video and audio interface, developed to replace VGA, DVI, and LVDS (low voltage differential signaling). It allows computers and other digital devices to connect to display devices such as computer monitors. At the same time, it has the capability to transmit audio, USB and other forms of data.
VGA was the standard video interface for computers for a large number of years. DVI, which is compatible with the newer HDMI standard has replaced it in more recent years, although most computers are still manufactured with VGA connections as well as DVI. As Displayport gains a larger acceptance, we should see these two formats gradually be phased out.
The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) is the developer and owner of Displayport, licensing it on a royalty-free basis, which differentiates Displayport from other digital interfaces. VESA was created as an industry-wide standards body by a number of electronics manufacturers. Currently, there are over 40 major electronics manufacturers involved in VESA, specifically in the manufacture and use of devices that use the Displayport interface.
Displayport is unique in that it is the first display interface to rely on packetized data transmission. This allows a higher video resolution with a lower number of connector pins. One way that it eliminates unnecessary pins is by containing the clock signal integral in the information packet, instead of requiring a clock line to synchronize devices.
Although the interface contains both audio and video channels, they are capable of being used separately, or simultaneously. The data transmission capacity of Displayport is even higher than HDMI or DVI; providing over twice the bandwidth of HDMI.
One of the benefits of using Displayport is the availability of readily adapting it to other video interfaces. Adapters exist to convert Displayport to HDMI, DVI and VGA, all three of the other common video interfaces used with computer and digital equipment. This allows computers that have the Displayport interfaces to be used with all existing video equipment, including monitors, flat-panel displays and video projectors.
A dual-mode Displayport version exists, which allows data to be transmitted in the same format as HDMI, DVI and VGA, facilitating the use of simple adapters for connection of Displayport equipment to other devices. By designing Displayport to be compatible with the other major video interfaces on the market, VESA made it easy for this interface to integrate into existing systems and designs.
Displayport is designed specifically to be a high performance interface, matching and surpassing the capability of modern video equipment. It provides compact external connection with optional latching, which works well with today's low-voltage digital equipment. The interface is designed to go well beyond HDMI, being capable of handling WQXGA at 10 bit color (2560 x 1600 pixels).
Passive Displayport cables can transmit up to 15 meters. For signal transmission beyond this distance, active cable systems, which amplify the signal are used.
While still considered a relatively new interface, many new computers are being designed with Displayport connections. This is especially true of laptop computers, where the compact design of Displayport makes it much easier to use on slimline laptops than either VGA or DVI connections.
While not all equipment is currently manufactured with Displayport connections, over 60 different companies have announced their intention to implement Displayport on future designs.

This is from our pal J-P Ferguson:
There's a good story by Louis Uchitelle, one of the Times's labor reporters, today on how the economic downturn has contributed to a decline in women's labor-force participation.
(I know that household work should be included in any definition of the labor force. I agree that most modern service industries can only be understood as the commodification of previously unpaid domestic work. I'm working with the narrow definitions of the Labor Department for the moment.)
Executive summary: Every recovery since the 1958 recession has ended with more women in the labor force (as a share of all women) than it started with. The 2001-2007 recovery saw a slight drop in participation, though, and that's expected to accelerate as the economy tanks.
It's an interesting empirical phenomenon. You can see how the perceptions of previous decades shaped the interpretation of this data for several years. Academics and policymakers long perceived a large voluntary component in the growth of women's labor-force participation. The quest for social equality, status or something similar was seen as at least as important in drawing women out of the home and into the paid workforce as economic pressures were. Withdrawal from the labor force was also perceived to have a voluntary component: motherhood, spending time with the kids, etc.
Yet of course there was always a counter-narrative based entirely on classic labor-market factors, such as declining real (and sometimes nominal) wages for male workers. I've mentioned before (and I'm hardly alone) that almost all the increase in Americans' real standard of living since the early 1970s has come from increased female labor-force participation. Even that, we think, may be chimeric, because an income scale doesn't correct for exactly the commodification of previously unpaid domestic work necessary to allow many women to operate in the paid labor force. But the bigger point still holds: to stay in place, many households had to add another wage-earner.
Now we're finally noticing the other half of that story. If economic conditions are a better explanation for women entering the workforce than sociological aspirations are, then those economic conditions should also better explain women's withdrawal from the labor force. It's this shift in thinking that Uchitelle's article describes.
I give the dude credit: he explains both the misconception and the realization. So do many of the researchers he quotes:
"When we saw women starting to drop out in the early part of this decade, we thought it was the motherhood movement, women staying home to raise their kids," Heather Boushey, a senior economist at the Joint Economic Committee of Congress…said in an interview. "We did not think it was the economy, but when we looked into it, we realized that it was."
I suspect several people are reading this and thinking, "How could they have ever thought that it wasn't the economy, Stupid?" But it's more complicated than that. The US labor force has been dominated by wage earners for about a century. For most of that time, women were disproportionately concentrated in a few industries and occupations. Remedying this, of course, was a major goal of the women's movement. One unintended impact of that odd distribution, though, was that women's employment was less sensitive to general swings in the business cycle than men's employment was. Thus the business cycle (however defined) was never as good a predictor of women's participation and pay as it has of men's.* Go back and look at my earlier post, for example, and you'll see that women's wages rose in the 1970s and early 1980s, against a declining economy, while men's wages declined. Thus the general business cycle's coming to dominate changes in female participation is an empirical change, not just the scales falling from researchers' eyes.
The upshot is that though gender segregation is still widespread in the US, especially by occupation, it has decreased enough over the last generation that women as a group now resemble men in their vulnerability to business cycles. Talk about a bittersweet finding!
This doesn't imply that women are paid or treated the same as men in all jobs, of course, As the article continues:
The women, in sum, are for the first time withdrawing from work with the same uniformity as men in their prime working years. Ninety-six percent of the men held jobs in 1953, their peak year. That is down to 86.4 percent today. But while men are rarely thought of as dropping out to run the household, that is often the assumption when women pull out.
"A woman gets laid off and she stays home for six months with her kids," Ms. Boushey said. "She doesn't admit that she is staying home because she could not get another acceptable job."
* If you remember Gary Becker's dictum that discrimination acts like a constraint on free-market activity then this makes complete sense. (I agree with Becker's metaphor, though I disagree with the ways he tried to push it.)

Your Fort Lauderdale vacation
Somewhere between Miami glamour and South Beach relaxation lies the perfectly balanced, totally vibrant Fort Lauderdale. Once a teenage party destination, Fort Lauderdale still sings with golden beaches and ocean breezes, but the scene is decidedly cooler and swankier.
