Comtux do you have an iso of what is available so far? I could put some time into getting the Stabalizer started.
Wow! Sounds nice. I have a lot of really cool (at least I think so) ideas for my own little distro. Of course, as mentioned previously, I don't actually have time to create my own from scratch. This'll be the next best thing.
A lot of my ideas center around making the distro more user-friendly and, as such, deal heavily with the window manager. One of my primary ideas is about the use of the desktop.
I think the desktop should be context sensitive and super-smart. Users can configure the desktop to do certain things with certain files drag&dropped onto it. For instance:
URL links from a browser can cause it to download that file, store the url in an easy to access "hot link" bar, or some other action.
Images can cause it to open the image in a viewer, and editor, or place it in an image folder.
Various selections of text will cause the desktop to parse the selection and determine the appropriate action:
- If it's an address type selection, add it as an entry (or update an entry) in the address book.
- Basic text will cause it to open a text editor with the selected text.
Any item dragged to the desktop while the cntrl key is held down will be sent to the trash.
I have fleshed it out more than this, but the basis of it is that any file will be processed using a set of defined actions/parameters. Users can add/edit these parameters at will. Maybe also add in Bayesian statistics to have the desktop get "smarter".
I also have many other ideas but, again, they center around making the whole experience easier and faster for the user.
The only thing I will miss from making my private distro, I think, is the name. When this thing really takes off, Comtux will be in the lime light.
Comtux do you have an iso of what is available so far? I could put some time into getting the Stabalizer started.
Sure, but I would like to make a disclaimer, this is not my original work, I took someones brilliant Idea from the GEntoo forums and modified it to support ACPI battery reading and take out a few superfluous things that I didnt need.Originally Posted by jro";p="4733

Sure maccorin let me finash the Lfs 6.0 build & the doc's
for the installer and ill up load a copy of the iso some where right now the iso is like 25 megs and doesn't do much but sit there and look pretty ill try to have the base done in a day or 2 so that way it will install a base system and you can tear it a part.
Buy the way question should i keep the base as 1 binary package or break them up into there own seperate packages i mean with the base you have no other option you have to install it so what's the point of haveing the base broke up into seperate packages?
Wenn Sie Spaß meines Englisch mich Willensfuckingtötung Sie bilden.
i would break it up so updates are easier later on.Originally Posted by comtux";p="4825
I've also been thinking about the implementation of a system stabalizer, and have a few thoughts.
So far the cleanest implementation that I have thought of would be a small kernel patch that hooks into do_coredump and logs fatal signals and some information to a special device, we could eventually provide ioctl's to change/setup what info get's logged. Then as things should be keep the real work in userspace, have a daemon that watches the device file and embeds a scripting engine of some sort, the user could provide callbacks for what to do upon certain signals. We would of course provide defaults.
Any thoughts on that?
Maccorin that sounds like what i had in mind but instead of a kernel patch i would have built a module that did the same thing.
But then again you sound like you really know what your talking about my kernel
experience is extremely limited.
Pugio those are some very fresh ideas one's that i have not even considered id like to hear some more on how you would go about such thing's.
the main kernel-space functionality could be easily put into a module, but we need to hook into somewhere to be notified of the signals that mattered, and do_coredump seems to be the perfect place, but then again, there is a new subsystem in 2.6.10 for userspace programs to listen for events, i wonder what it would take to add the events we need to that... hmm.... /me reads some code tonight.Originally Posted by comtux";p="4847
Maccorin is tooooo coool let me know.
I ran in to a problem with LFS 6.0 Turns out you can't compile glibc kernel 2.6 optimized with a host 2.4 kernel.
I am upgradeing now and restarting the build.
Ok maccorin i am on chapter 6.11 compileing Glibc-2.3.4
the only problem as far as upgradeing packages i see is with GCC Glibc & Binutils everything should upgrade just fine when the time come's.
Upgradeing GCC Glibc & Binutils might have to be made into some special type of packages then again i am not sure.
Some have told me that i shouldn't have a problem as long
as i upgrade like this Glibc-2.3.4 --> to Glibc-2.3.5 now from what i have heard upgradeing like this.
Glibc-2.3.4 --> Glibc-2.4.0 will not work the same goes for GCC & Binutils.
Everything so far is turning out really good.
Oh i am useing kernel 18.104.22.168 as the default kernel
for now.

Adobe Edge Inspect is a new tool you can use to inspect and preview the HTML5 content you create for mobile devices. It is not an emulator or simulator; it enables you to connect multiple devices to your computer wirelessly. As you visit web pages on your computer, the synced devices display the same content. Edge Inspect works with the Google Chrome browser and many iOS, Android, and Kindle Fire devices.
With Edge Inspect, you can target a device for remote inspection, use your computer to tweak the code, and see the changes update instantly on the device. Revised content is easy to view because it takes just one click to clear the cache of all connected devices. You can also take screenshots of the device viewports and use them to communicate with your colleagues. The screenshots are saved as PNG files and transferred to your computer along with helpful device-specific metadata.
Edge Inspect works with any code editor or IDE, so it easily integrates into your regular web development workflow. It keeps your devices from going to sleep and eliminates the need to pick up and use each device, so you can keep working on your computer without interruption.
Edge Inspect is a member of the Adobe Edge Tools and Services family of products, which also includes Edge Animate (interactive HTML5 animations), Edge Reflow (responsive web layouts), Edge Code (HTML5 code authoring), Edge Web Fonts (free web fonts), Typekit (commercial web fonts), and PhoneGap Build (native mobile app packaging). To learn more, visit the Adobe Edge Tools and Services page.
Note: There are two versions of Edge Inspect: a free, limited version and a paid, premium version. The premium version enables you to take screenshots of all connected devices and does not limit the number of concurrently connected devices. (The free version allows only one concurrent connection.)
To download and try Edge Inspect, visit the Adobe Edge Inspect site and create an Adobe ID. You'll also need the Google Chrome extension to run Edge Inspect in your Chrome browser. The extension is supported in both Mac and Windows environments.
Use your mobile device to download the Edge Inspect mobile device client:
To use Edge Inspect, your devices and computer must be connected to the same wireless network. Edge Inspect works with localhost, intranet, and Internet servers. If you are testing local web content, you can use a local web server such as MAMP or XAMPP or the built-in web servers on Mac OS X and Windows. To learn more about the localhost workflow to preview mobile content that is not yet uploaded to the web, see the workflow series on the Adobe Edge Inspect team blog.
After installing Edge Inspect, the Google Chrome extension, and the mobile device client on your devices, follow these steps:
Note: To set Google Chrome as your system's primary browser, launch Google Chrome and choose Chrome > Preferences. In the Settings section, click the Make Google Chrome My Default Browser button (see Figure 1).
Note: The mobile device must be running on the same network as your desktop or laptop computer. Enable Wi-Fi in the Settings to connect it to your wireless network.
The Edge Inspect panel displays the names of computers on your network that are running Edge Inspect. Select your computer's name to connect. Your device will display a passcode (see Figure 2). Look back at your computer monitor and you'll see that Edge Inspect is ready to connect to your device. The panel updates to display a Passcode field.
If you want to connect multiple devices, repeat steps 4–7. The panel displays the list of paired devices. There is no limit to the number of devices you can sync to your computer with the full version of Edge Inspect.
Once you've paired a device with your computer, it is authorized to reconnect — you will not be required to go through the pairing process with that device the next time.
Once you've connected one or more devices, Edge Inspect enables the devices to synchronously browse with your computer.
As you browse in Google Chrome, the connected devices are sent to the same URLs. There's no need to touch the screens or navigate to pages manually. The Edge Inspect Chrome extension transmits the URL data as a command to the iOS and Android apps. The devices browse to the same URL, so if you have any media queries or conditional code based on the user agent, those devices will get the content you intended. Edge Inspect is like a remote control that causes devices to update in real time (see Figure 5).
Remote inspection is a feature in Edge Inspect that enables you to inspect the HTML and CSS as it is rendered on a device. This is a helpful way to debug problems and tweak page layouts:
If you click the source code of a page element, it is highlighted in blue on the device. Edit the HTML or the properties of the CSS rules in the right column to see the elements update on the device. Changes to the page are re-rendered on the device on the fly (see Figure 7).
This is a great strategy for experimenting, testing fixes, or trying out new looks. Once you've made some changes, you can even take a screenshot to share with colleagues or clients.
Screenshots are a feature in Edge Inspect that allow you to capture the web content displayed on device screens and store it as a PNG file, along with related metadata.
Using the Edge Inspect panel on your computer, you can click the camera icon to take screenshots of all connected devices (see Figure 8).
Alternatively, you can use the Action menu on the device to take a screenshot of the content currently displayed on that screen (see Figure 9).
Note: Edge Inspect captures the screenshot as the content appears on the screen. Screenshots display the viewport — the visible area of a page. For example, if you scroll or zoom in, the screenshot taken on the devices reflects the same magnification.
Every time you take a screenshot, a PNG file and text file for each device are generated and stored on the computer. You can quickly access the screenshots you generate from within the Edge Inspect panel (see Figure 10).
By default, screenshots are saved in the Edge Inspect subfolder in the Documents (Mac OS X) or My Documents (Windows) directory (see Figure 11).
The set of files are named with the date, time, and device name to identify each screenshot.
You can open the text file in any text editor to see helpful information about the screenshot, including the screenshot's URL and page size as well as the device's OS name, version, model, screen resolution, and pixel density (see Figure 12).
Use screenshots to compare how the page layout displays. As needed, use your code editor to make adjustments to the design and then reload to test the page again.
After making changes, Edge Inspect simplifies the process of refreshing the cache on devices. Rather than picking up each device and manually clearing the cache, you can clear the cache for all connected devices by clicking a button in the Edge Inspect panel.
To clear the cache and see the newest version of a page, click Refresh All Devices (see Figure 13).
This makes it easy to refresh all screens to view the most recent versions of your assets.
If you are already holding a connected device, you can also use Refresh All Devices in the Action menu.
Sometimes you need to see what your content looks like when it is using the full screen. To hide the Edge Inspect user interface and allow your content to go full-screen, click the Full Screen toggle button in the Edge Inspect panel on your computer (see Figure 14).
To learn more about working with Edge Inspect, visit the Adobe Edge Inspect product page. And to get the latest news, workflow tips, and information about new features, check out the Adobe Edge Inspect team blog.

What You Should Know as a Federal Employee, Contractor, Cooperative Agreement Participant, or Grantee
Various Federal statutes and regulations prohibit "lobbying" by federal employees, as well as federal contractors, cooperative agreement participants, and grantees. Although the definition of "lobbying" differs within each statute or regulation, the restrictions generally prohibit contacting or encouraging others to contact a state or federal legislator or executive branch official in an attempt to influence the enactment or modification of legislation or other specified activities. The following discussion provides general guidelines that should help identify the various statutory and regulatory lobbying restrictions. For more detailed guidance, you should consult your cognizant legal counsel.
Criminal Lobbying Statute
18 U.S.C. 1913 provides criminal sanctions and requires removal from office if Federal employees violate the statute's prohibition on lobbying with appropriated moneys. The restriction has been interpreted by the Justice Department to prohibit "grass roots lobbying" -- campaigns in which members of the public are encouraged to contact their Senators or Representatives. Slightly less restrictive rules apply to cabinet members and other Senate-confirmed officials acting within their areas of responsibility. The Justice Department guidance permits Federal employees to do the following:
- communicate with Members and their staffs in support of Administration or Departmental positions;
- communicate with the public through public speeches and published writings;
- communicate privately with individual members of the public, so long as those communications are not part of a grass roots lobbying campaign; and
- lobby Congress or the public on non-legislative or appropriation matters like nominations and treaties.
Special Appropriations Riders
Appropriations legislation may contain provisions often known as "riders," which may place restrictions on the use of appropriations. For example, a recent rider to the 1998 Energy and Water Development Act included a prohibition on the use of funds to influence congressional action on any legislation or appropriation matters pending before Congress except for communications to Congress as described in 19 U.S.C. 1913. Another rider to the 1998 Interior Act prohibited the use of funds for publication or distribution of literature that in any way tends to promote public support or opposition to any legislative proposal on which Congressional action is not complete. Information regarding such riders may be obtained from your legal counsel or the Office of Procurement and Assistance Management, DOE Headquarters.
Byrd Amendment
A provision commonly referred to as the Byrd Amendment (31 U.S.C. 1352) prohibits the use of Federal contract, grant, loan or cooperative agreement funds to pay any person for influencing or attempting to influence the executive or legislative branch with respect to certain specified actions. The specified actions include the following:
- awarding of a Federal contract;
- making of a Federal grant;
- making of a Federal loan;
- entering into of a cooperative agreement; or
- the extension, continuation, renewal, amendment or modification of any of these.
Any person who requests or receives a Federal contract, grant, loan or cooperative agreement is required to file a certification that no payments prohibited by the Byrd amendment have been made using appropriated funds, and a declaration providing information with respect to any payments made using other than appropriated funds. Violations of the Byrd amendment may result in the imposition of civil penalties of $10,000 or more.
Simpson-Craig Amendment
Effective January 1, 1996, the so-called Simpson-Craig amendment to the Lobbying Disclosure Act (2 U.S.C. 1611) makes any organization that is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code ineligible for federal funds through an award, grant, or loan if the organization engages in lobbying activities as defined in that Act. This provision is unique in that it prohibits all lobbying by an organization, rather than simply prohibiting lobbying supported by Federal funds. Lobbying is defined here to include, among other things, any communication to legislative branch officials on behalf of a client with regard to formulation, modification, or adoption of Federal legislation.
DOE National Security Contracts
Special restrictions apply to contracts in excess of $100,000 obligating funds appropriated for national security programs of the Department of Energy. The restrictions at 42 U.S.C. 7256a make statutorily unallowable any costs incurred to influence (directly or indirectly) legislative action on any matter pending before Congress or a State legislature.
Contracts in Excess of $500,000
The Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) created special restrictions applicable to contracts in excess of $500,000. Costs incurred under these contracts to influence (directly or indirectly) legislative action on any matter pending before Congress, a State legislature, or a legislative body of a political subdivision of a State are statutorily unallowable. 41 U.S.C. 256(e).
Cost principles for lobbying restrictions are found at:
- The Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) at Part 970.5204-17 for DOE Management and Operating Contracts;
- The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) at Parts 31.205-20 and 31.205-50, covering contracts and financial assistance with commercial organizations; and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars on Cost Principles, including:
- OMB Circular A-21, Cost Principles for Educational Institutions;
- OMB Circular A-87, Cost Principles for State, Local, and Indian Tribal Governments; and,
- OMB Circular A-122, Cost Principles for Non-Profit Organizations,
Generally, the various directives contain almost identical provisions restricting the allowability of costs associated with lobbying. A summary of some of the unallowable lobbying provisions is provided below:
- Attempts to influence the outcomes of any Federal, State, or local election, referendum, initiative, or similar procedures, through in kind or cash contributions, endorsements, publicity, or similar activities;
- Establishing, administering, contributing to, or paying the expenses of a political party, campaign, political action committee, or other organization established for the purpose of influencing the outcomes of elections;
- Any attempt to influence the introduction, or the enactment or modification of any pending, Federal, state, or local legislation through communication with any member or employee of the Congress or state legislature (including efforts to influence state or local officials to engage in similar lobbying activity), or with any government official or employee in connection with a decision to sign or veto enrolled legislation;
- Any attempt to influence the introduction, or the enactment or modification of any pending, Federal, state, or local legislation by preparing, distributing or using publicity or propaganda, or by urging members of the general public or any segment thereof to contribute to or participate in any mass demonstration, march, rally, fund raising drive, lobbying campaign or letter writing or telephone campaign;
- Legislative liaison activities, including attendance at legislative sessions or committee hearings, gathering information regarding legislation, and analyzing the effect of legislation, when such activities are carried on in support of or in knowing preparation for an effort to engage in unallowable activities; and
- Attempting to improperly influence, either directly, or indirectly, an employee or officer of the Executive branch of the Federal Government to give consideration to or act regarding a regulatory or contract matter.
This guidance was prepared by the U. S. Department of Energy, Office of Procurement and Assistance Management, MA-61, 1000 Independence Ave. SW, Washington, D.C. 20585-0705, (202) 287-1330.

149 people, including at least four gay men and two transgender women, have been arrested in the latest raids on parties in Kuwait.
The 'anti-vice drive,' according to Gulf media, mainly targeted expatriates, from which "14 Arab women would be immediately deported while several gays and tomboys have been locked up pending trial."
News reports say that hundreds of Kuwaiti security agents are involved.
Speaking with Dan Littauer of Gay Star News, a Kuwaiti trans woman said:
They call it "prostitution places" but in fact these were private parties in homes and apartments. It's just drinking and partying maybe a bit more but not prostitution!
She said that since Islamists won a majority in Kuwait's parliament, there had been a crackdown on a wide range of behavior and people, but that this has disproportionately affected LGBT people.
In April, seven gay men were arrested for wearing "indecent clothing'" at the beach. 44 people were arrested, including four people identified as gay and five labelled as 'cross-dressers.'
Kuwait is also running a campaign against 'Tomboys' or 'Boyat.'
In January Human Rights Watch published "They Hunt Us Down for Fun," an examination of discrimination and police violence against transgender women in Kuwait.
One MP., Dr. Adel Al-Damkhi, has proposed to set up a "rehab center" to "treat negative phenomena alien to Kuwaiti society."

This is crazy. Why do the cops bother locking down these hooters? OMG.
Patricia and edw, sodomizing young boys = homosexuality? The difference is they are BOYS. Homosexuals are NOT pedophiles. Their practice is, by definition, between consenting adults. Those who commit pedophilia are FAR worse but these creeps seem to ignore that fact. The same moniker applies to the practice of child brides, but hell, they're only worthless females so who cares?
If it is a right of a Western nation to ban people from covering their faces then the other nations also have the rights to trample upon some one's civil liberties. This does not make either one correct in their actions. As long as the actions of a few (unacceptable to some) are carried out of other's sight then that should be ok to the most.
Of course the there are purists and bigots on both sides where tolerance is not the norm and extreme actions always harm everyone. Perhaps live and let live is the way forward ...
Are there any moral standards at all among these Arabs? Sorry - such a silly question. They crush the arm of a 9 year old boy for stealing bread, they murder their wives when they no longer want them, they kill animals in the most bestial of ways, they stick their arses in the air and their noses in the dirt whilst praying to THEIR GOD..........we say 'THEIR GOD' - because it can't be the God we pray to.......ours is a loving entity.
Muslims are notorious for sodomising young boys, and arranging marriages for baby girls to old men - yet they have the affrontery to complain about homosexuality. What name would you append to men who sodomise boys? Homosexuals of course. Don't they know that? These people are the spawn of Satan. There is nothing loving or compassionate about them. Hope they get the plague soon.
Fundamentalists are all alike- Christian, Jewish, Islamic.
let's see, what other people do we know that do not approve of homosexuals? Do evangelicals approve of them? Do religious extremists of any faith approve of them? What would they do if they had the chance? Would they build a large area with an electrical fence and send them all there? Talk about sharia?
All in the name of God. Makes one wonder about us men especially these stone age old men who making laws just to control people lives.
That is Shariah Law! That is the "Bridge of Understanding" they want to build in NYC, in the Land of the Infidels!
Stop the hate and viloence!

The Linux desktops are on the rise by a significant percentage, but they are still nowhere near the undisputed leader in this category, Windows. At least not yet.
According to the data provided by netmarketshare.com, the Linux desktops have registered a surge in 2013. They started the year at 1.21% in January and ended at 1.73% in December.
If we do the math, that is also a little more than 30%. If Linux were a business, its owners would be very happy. Given the fact that Linux is actually completely free, the only ones left to be happy are the users.
The data from netmarketshare.com doesn't say why and it's difficult to ascertain the reasons for this huge increase, but it might have to do with the fact that a lot more games are now available for Linux, with the help of Steam.
The next year will see the release of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and SteamOS from Valve. These two distributions might greatly influence the number of Linux PCs by the end of 2014.

Three separate wine districts sit in the northwest corner of Sonoma County:
The Dry Creek Valley, which contains 10,000 acres devoted to vineyards and runs parallel to and west of Alexander Valley from Lake Sonoma to Healdsburg.
The Russian River Valley, which contains 11,200 acres of vineyards and lies in a flat plain running south and west of Healdsburg and follows the Russian River to the Pacific Ocean.
The Alexander Valley, where 16,000 acres of vineyards thrive and which follows the Russian River from Cloverdale on the north, to Healdsburg, where the river turns west.
Two smaller districts within the Russian River Wine Road area are Chalk Hill and Green Valley, whose climate is cooler and where grapes, apples and pears are produced.

The Russian River and its Valleys
Favorite thing: The Russian River wanders through Cloverdale to Santa Rosa, then flows out to the Sonoma Coast and the Pacific Ocean.
This is a lush, fertile grape growing area containing 100 wineries and three wine districts: Russian River Valley, Dry Creek Valley and Alexander Valley.

Napa vs. Sonoma?
Favorite thing: Both Sonoma and Napa Counties produce many world class wines. Most Californians who are familiar with California wines know that there is no difference in general quality between the two counties. There are fabulous wineries in both counties. The difference in quality is found from winery to winery within each County, but it is not accurate to say that Napa has better wines than Sonoma. However, people from out of state and particularly out of the country generally want to visit Napa County because of its bigger name recognition outside of California.
I prefer Sonoma over Napa - and this is based on dozens of wine country trips to both counties. See below for my take on 15 differences between Sonoma and Napa:
Fondest memory: 1. Sonoma is more beautiful, scenery-wise. It has beautiful valleys nestled in between rolling hills covered by pine trees. Napa has some of this too, but Sonoma is greener and more pastoral.
2. Napa is pricier - more wineries in Napa will charge you to taste - sometimes as much as $10 or $15 per person. At most Sonoma wineries, tasting is free.
3. Napa is more crowded. It's all those out of state and out of country tourists.
4. The town of Napa is industrial and commercial. The town of Healdsburg in Sonoma is charming and smaller.
5. The pace is more relaxed in Sonoma.
6. Tasting rooms in general are far less crowded in Sonoma. In Napa, you sometimes have a hard time finding a few inches of space at the counter.
7. Wineries and tasting rooms in Sonoma tend to be smaller and more rustic.
8. Napa has more of the huge, ostentatious wine tasting rooms with ultra-expensive art galleries and pricey gift shops. In Napa, you can even ride a tram up to the very crowded tasting room at Sterling Winery, modeled after a Greek town.
9. In Sonoma, the winery staff pouring the wine will be more relaxed and more likely to take the time to tell you about their winery and its history. You are more likely to meet the owners behind the tasting counter.
10. In Napa, the tasting rooms are less personal - the staff will have less time to talk to you. You almost feel like they want you to finish tasting, buy some wine and make space for the next people.
11. Napa has more wineries that are owned by mega-corporations.
12. The town of Napa has more upscale restaurants. Some are very, very good. Healdsburg has a few - just not as many as Napa.
13. Napa County gets more traffic -- foot, cars, buses and bikes.
14. Napa County has more B&Bs. Sonoma has some, but not as many as Napa.
15. If you are taking a picnic lunch, it is tougher to find an unoccupied table for your lunch in Napa. In Sonoma, that has never been a problem.

Germany [in]famously moved to phase out nuclear energy following the atomic disaster in Japan last spring. Now states in the country are skeptically eyeing plans in neighboring countries, including the Netherlands and Poland, to construct nuclear power plants.
Nuclear Nimbyism: Germans Oppose New Plants Next Door
They say you should keep your friends close and your enemies closer, but when it comes to nuclear power plants, German anti-nuclear activists are finding they're too close for comfort.
Less than a year after securing the rapid phaseout of nuclear plants in Germany, citizens concerned about nuclear safety are facing the unwholesome prospect of new plants popping up just over the border in neighboring countries. But they aren't letting it happen without a fight.
After Poland announced several possible locations for new reactors, including one less than 150 kilometers (93 miles) from the German border, German citizens flooded the Polish government with letters objecting to the plans. Environmental groups claim that a week ago Wednesday alone, the last day of the comment period, opponents of the plans submitted 50,000 objections.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's government also submitted a statement, as did Anita Tack, a Left Party member and the environment minister of the state of Brandenburg, which is home to the majority of Germany's shared border with Poland.
"It is incomprehensible to me that our Polish neighbors still want to stick to their plans after the Fukushima disaster," Tack wrote in a letter to the Polish Economics Ministry last month. "Brandenburg has been against the use of nuclear power from the start," Tack noted.
A spokeswoman for the ministry, Alrun Kaune-Nüsslein, told SPIEGEL ONLINE the letter had been written in order to send a political message and to raise awareness among citizens. "A change in the original plans can only be achieved through a change of opinion among Polish decision-makers."
Poland is not the only source of German concern. On Tuesday, the governing coalition of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia — comprised of the center-left Social Democrats and the Green Party — announced its intention to object formally to the construction of a new nuclear reactor in neighboring Holland.
The proposed Borssele II plant would be located 180 kilometers from the North Rhine-Westphalia border. Environment Minister Johannes Remmel of the Greens said the plant posed "indefensible risks," and the state government intends to urge the Netherlands to undertake an "intensive investigation of alternatives."

Cringe Careers: The 2012 Music Trainwreck Awards
Cringe Careers: The 2012 Music Trainwreck AwardsLet's all admit that we are a sadistic public. Watching celebrities act like idiots is one of life's finest of pleasures. But there's more to career trainwreckery than sad tales of drug abuse and assault charges. Trainwrecks come in all shapes and sizes, and in 2012, we found that celebrity descent was particularly prominent -- and in some cases, totally deliberate.
With no further ado, our 2012 Trainwreck Awards go to.... Let's start with #8 Good Girl Gone Cliché Trainwreck: Miley Cyrus
#8 Good Girl Gone Cliché Trainwreck: Miley CyrusWith Miley, it's a bit of a trainwreck "chicken and the egg" quandary. Did she smoke salvia, chop off her hair and THEN her management threw on the bad girl, crotch-grabbing, stripper butt-feeling cliche direction? OR was it all the management's idea to begin with (<--more likely option)? Either way, we can all admit this child will never be actually badass, and these attempts are so cringe-worthy that we're excited to pack it in for the apocalypse tomorrow. Next #7 No-Talent, Low-Grossing Trainwreck: Kreayshawn
#7 No-Talent, Low-Grossing Trainwreck: KreayshawnPoor Kreayshawn. She's like the Rebecca Black of white girl hip-hop -- only some indie blogs actually attempted to legitimize her for awhile. In the end, however, the market spoke, and Kreayshawn achieved one of the lowest-grossing debut albums to ever come out on a major label. Don't let the door hit you on the way to your next poorly-chosen career, girl. Next #6 Bratty Trainwreck: Azealia Banks
#6 Bratty Trainwreck: Azealia BanksWithin just a few weeks of mega YouTube-induced fame, Interscope signee and fiery sexbomb MC Azealia Banks was beefing with half of the universe on Twitter. Sure, Jim Jones, Kreayshawn and Iggy Azalea may deserve a kick in the ass once in awhile, but it hasn't been a good look for the young newcomer, who, in trying to find her footing in the industry, has acted pretty damn bratty and divisive in public -- worse than Nicki Minaj, who has at least gone Platinum already. We'll see what 2013 brings for Azealia, but the world is holding out for another glimpse of that scrappy, smiling, dirty-mouthed kid from the "212" video. Next #5 Wannabe Trainwreck: Ke$ha
#5 Wannabe Trainwreck: Ke$ha2012 marked another year in trying to make the drunken, gold-toothed, over-Autotuned "ewww, gross" thing happen with Ke$ha. How long must it go on before we admit that she actually has baseline talent (in songwriting no less!)?
Already kicking off 2013 with controversy after she deflected blame for releasing the song "Die Young" so close to the Sandy Hook shooting, it looks like we're in for another year of manufactured nausea. Next #4 Is He a Trainwreck? Trainwreck: Riff Raff
#4 Is He a Trainwreck? Trainwreck: Riff RaffMuch scholarly writing has been devoted to Houston MC Riff Raff this year, particularly on whether or not he's really a buffoon, really a genius in disguise, really from the ghetto, really an MC, really this, really that. The fact that he is a freestyle mastermind notwithstanding, the media is basically Die Antwoord-ing this guy into irrelevance. But we'll always have his grills and "pigglywigglies". Next #3 Yoko-Style Trainwreck: Kanye West
#3 Yoko-Style Trainwreck: Kanye WestLove makes the world go 'round, but it's grinding Kanye West's career to a halt. The New York Daily News made a pretty good argument that Kanye's relationship with Kim Kardashian is cheapening his brand. The once notoriously egotystical, yet artistically principled visionary Kanye West is now all over the tabloids with his busty, social-climbing Kim. He's appearing on the uniquely terrible reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians all the time, and associating with the inanities of the Kardashian household. Not much can destroy Kanye, but maybe 2013 will see him stoop to John & Yoko trainwreck levels. Hey, not everyone can date Beyoncé! Next #2 Righteous Asshole Trainwreck : Deadmau5
#2 Righteous Asshole Trainwreck : Deadmau5Not everyone knows that the mouse-headed juggernaut producer Joel Thomas Zimmerman, aka Deadmau5, is a raging asshat sometimes. He has a habit of fighting with other artists, including beloved, untouchable mega-legends. Having issues with drug culture is one thing, but cursing out Madonna in a manner that makes you sound like you've been hopped up on meth all night doesn't really help your case, nor does calling out Rusko to security for smoking weed backstage, or physically fighting with Felix da Housecat over your rider cheese. When you've helped build an empire of ecstasy-addled fratboys who give you their money every day, you're part of the problem. Hopefully Deadmau5 will start a non-profit or something in 2013, instead of solving the world's issues with more dumb, explosive behavior...or maybe fiancee Kat Von D will keep him in check. Next #1 Calculated Trainwreck: Rihanna
#1 Calculated Trainwreck: RihannaRihanna's image has changed drastically with every album. Few remember her early LP A Girl Like Me, when she was being marketed as an introspective, old-school R&B and reggae singer with comparative qualities to Beyonce, but with a Caribbean vibe. That's because several hairdos, domestic violence calls, Western pop makeovers and media stunts later, she's pretty much unrecognizable.
Rihanna reached a zenith of trainwreckery this year with the help of the Rihannaplane fiasco. Holding journalists captive so they could tweet 24-7 about her chaotic, drunk, lipsynching self had to be a deliberate life-imitating-art move by her brilliant management, demolishing any shred of Rihanna's original image of innocence. It only gets grosser from here! More Lists

After the release of the first beta build for version 4.20, earlier this month, WinRAR development continues with the distribution of the second beta, which is very modest with the list of changes.
This release focuses on further improving the compression speed in multi-core environment, compared to what the first beta had to offer. Since this is the only change in the latest WinRAR build, the stable version may very well be just around the corner.
The highlights for WinRAR 4.20 include changes in RAR compression and decompression, so that both processes work faster in a multi-core environment. ZIP compression performance has also increased, as the task does better on both multi-core and single-core computers.
As a direct result of these improvements, RAM usage has increased, but not to alarming values. For instance, the memory requirement of RAR compression algorithm jumped from 40MB to 120MB.

Born in Pittsburgh, PA, Wynn is a 1992 graduate of Houghton College. Wynn began her collegiate career as a player and as a student at Geneva College during the 1988-89 school year. She transferred to Houghton following her freshman year to pursue a different academic major.

Assistant Coach - Carmen Javaux
Carmen Javaux joins the Golden Tornadoes and women′s basketball coaching staff as an assist coach in 2014.
Javaux graduated from The Masters College in California with a degree in Physical Education. After a couple of short stints as a teacher Javaux joined the military in 1994 where she served all over the USA and one tour in Afghanistan, serving as a Senior Supply and Logistics NCO. Javaux started her coaching carrier as the varsity coach at Cary Christian School in North Carolina while stationed there during her time of service. Under her direction Cary Christian went on to the state championships in 2010.
In 2011, Javaux met head coach Lori Wynn at a Bible study and the timing could not have been more perfect. Following her retirement from the military, Javaux has found a home in Beaver County as the assistant women′s basketball coach. She currently resides in Chippewa Township.
Volunteer Assistant Coach - Kendall Hunter
Kendall Hunter joins the women′s basketball coaching staff as volunteer assistant coach in 2014.

Lonnie Hood said he was working near the highway ramp when he heard the explosion.
"We seen a big massive fireball like you wouldn't believe," he told WTHR-TV. "It was a massive explosion. It just roared in my chest. It was unreal."
He said he and another man helped pull the driver out of the burning tanker.
"Me and another guy pulled him out of there and just drug him down the road here and his whole truck blew up," Hood said.
Other witnesses said they had to put their cars in reverse to escape the flames, which charred billboards and a cellular phone tower.
"People near the explosion got out of their cars and ran from the scene," witness Sage Kopronica told WISH-TV.
Groves said the "humungous" explosion happened after the truck rolled, with the cab and tanker separating and catching fire underneath an Interstate 465 bridge. He said the fireball could be seen and the heat felt two miles away.
"The flames were licking the bridge all around it," Groves said.
The explosion closed Interstates 69 and 465 on the northeast side of the city.
State Police Sgt. Anthony Emery said the highways near the explosion scene would be closed until engineers reviewed the bridge for safety.
