Adam Sandler and "Twilight" Lead the Razzie Nominees
Oscar nominees will be announced tomorrow morning. Which means that today, we get the RAZZIE nominees. The Golden Raspberry Awards celebrate the WORST in cinema.
--The final "Twilight" flick, "Breaking Dawn - Part 2", leads the pack with 11 nominations . . . in 10 CATEGORIES.
--ADAM SANDLER also cleaned up with EIGHT nods for "That's My Boy". "Battleship" rounds out the top three with SEVEN nominations.
--Last year, Sandler set a record with 11 nominations for three crappy movies: "Jack and Jill", "Just Go With It" and "Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star".
--And "Jack and Jill" went on to sweep EVERY CATEGORY.
--He might not have a banner year this time around, though, since this is the Razzies' last opportunity to crap on "Twilight".
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Bought an $11 Million Mansion
KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST bought an $11 million mansion in Bel Air.
--It's 9,000 square feet and has a gym, movie theater, hair and makeup salon, bowling alley, basketball court and indoor and outdoor pools.
Will Lance Armstrong Admit to Oprah that He Was Doping?
LANCE ARMSTRONG has agreed to give his first interview since he was stripped of all his Tour de France titles for allegedly using performance-enhancing drugs. And no big surprise . . . he'll give it to OPRAH.
--The 90-minute interview will air next Thursday night, January 17th, at 9:00 P.M on OWN.
--There's been some talk over the last few days that Lance is ready to ADMIT he was doping. And the gossip site Showbiz411 says that's exactly what he'll do. He'll also beg for mercy . . . and a reversal of his lifetime ban from cycling.
--But this won't help: "60 Minutes" says that in 2004, one of Lance's reps offered a $250,000 "donation" to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
--They're the ones whose investigation of Lance led to him losing his titles, not to mention MILLIONS in endorsements.
--The head of the USADA says, quote, "It was a clear conflict of interest. We had no hesitation in rejecting that offer."
The Woman Who's Writing the "50 Shades of Grey" Script Says She's Going for an NC-17
Those "50 Shades of Grey" books are definitely aimed at women. But the movies might have something for the guys, too.
--Because KELLY MARCEL . . . the woman who's writing the script for the first installment . . . is aiming for an NC-17 rating. She says, quote, "It's going to be raunchy. We are 100% going there."
--Not every sex scene can be represented in a 90-minute movie. Marcel says, quote, "We did go through and decide which are our favorites and which are not. Most of them are in there, but I can't say more than that."
If One Direction Doesn't Remain Together for Three More Years, the Whole Group Loses Millions
ONE DIRECTION has agreed to a massive new record deal, which requires them to make three new albums over the next three years. It also binds them to each other.
--A so-called "source" tells Britain's "Sun" tabloid that if just ONE member drops out, the whole group will lose out on A TON OF MONEY.
--Supposedly, the contract was designed so that the five guys will each get a big payout three years from now . . . but ONLY if the group is still intact at that point.
--There are no specifics . . . so there's no word how much we're talking about . . . but the source emphasizes that it's not just a few bucks, it's, quote, "millions."

Under normal circumstances most people would fail to answer how a person could be a student and a politician rolled into one, especially when the student is an elected Member of Parliament in a poor country like Tanzania.
But to 24-year-old Felix Mkosamali, the student-cum-parliamentarian at the centre of this subject, the answer is simple. The NCCR-Mageuzi MP representing Muhambwe Constituency in the august House says it is all about commitment.
Mkosamali's name generated an unprecedented interest after the results of the Parliamentary election for Muhambwe Constituency in Kibondo district, western Tanzania's Kigoma region along the shorelines of Lake Tanganyika, the world's second deepest lake bordering Burundi were out.
The interest surrounded the circumstances in the race under which Mkosamali defeated strong candidates, some the age mates of his father.
He defeated the likes of Arcado Ntagazwa, a veteran politician who became CCM MP for Muhambwe in the 1980s when Mkosamali was not born. For that reason alone, it is enough to conclude the NCCR- Mageuzi MP defeated "his father" who had sought election on Chadema ticket.
Young and literally penniless Mkosamali also defeated affluent businessman Jamal Abdallah who threw his card into the Parliamentary race on CCM ticket. As such he has achieved what majority of his age cannot dream of.
The young man confides that he started developing interest in politics in 1995. He attended all the presidential campaign rallies held in Kibondo to listen to presidential aspirants. He said the then NCCR- Mageuzi chairman Augustine Mrema impressed him immensely.
A fourth-year law student at St.Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT) in Mwanza, Mkosamali is well known in Kibondo where he studied at Kibondo Primary School from 1994 to 2000.
After that in 2001 he joined Malagalasi Community Secondary School for Ordinary Level of secondary education, also in Kibondo.
In 2005 he was enrolled at St. Patrick Secondary School located at Tegeta, Dar es Salaam for Advanced Level of secondary education. After completing A-level studies, he engaged in teaching English Language and History at Bon Council Mission Secondary School in Kibondo as a part time teacher.
While teaching, Mkosamali developed deep interest in activist ideas that he believes boosted his popularity. Even after joining SAUT for an LLB degree course in late 2007, he continued teaching at Bon Council Mission Secondary School. Apart from teaching, the law student went on practical law training at the Kibondo primary court.
During the second year of studies at SAUT, he had practical training in Mwanza with advocates, but whenever he got an opportunity, he says, he rushed to Kibondo where he spent time doing politics.
Last year, he says, he was elected Chadema (Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo political party) chairman for Kibondo district and a member of the party's National Executive Committee.
He recalls how in 2008 he vied for the position of president of SAUT students' organisation but his name was axed from the list of candidates reportedly on the grounds that he was too radical. However, after the election he was appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs of the students' organisation.
Mkosamali, who keeps himself simple in terms of appearance, says he made up his mind of participating in the Parliamentary race in 2008 but in February this year he crossed over to NCCR - Mageuzi after being disillusioned by the state of politics in Chadema.
"You know I like democracy but when I learnt that youths are not given freedom to speak their mind, like challenging certain personalities during election, it is when I decided to quit Chadema," he says.
Mkosamali thinks he will be a very busy man to strike a balance between studies, party activities at the head office in Dar es Salaam and serving the electorate in Muhambwe constituency.
Showing how politics has never affected his studies, Mkosamali has never failed in a single subject; instead he has usually been scoring 'As' and 'Bs'. In one subject, once, however, he says he scored a 'C.'
The MP says the money he spent during election campaigns was either donated by relatives and close friends in Muhambwe or sent to him from the head office in Dar es Salaam. "I can tell you that elders, youth and children love me."
To date Mkosamali has not received his second semester results of the third year because he still owes SAUT school fees. "I hope this time the SAUT management will be able to give me my results as I am now able to pay for the required fees," he adds.
When the Parliamentary results were being released Mkosamali said he could not believe he had defeated both the veteran politician Ntagazwa and businessman Abdallah. Meanwhile, he thinks much about a daunting task ahead - of serving the electorate. However, he says he is happy he is completing studies next June, when he should be able to serve his electorate most effectively.
Mkosamali says Muhambwe Constituency lags behind almost in everything; from education, health, poverty, to scarcity of electricity, all of which pose a big challenge to him.
The young MP believes in unity and is irked on seeing signs that could lead to the opposition parties failing to cooperate in the House. He says young people should vie for political positions and stop thinking that politics is a preserve of a few individuals in the society.

Why does using faytis now, verse turn 4 make a difference? In both cases the opponent will be down 1-2 SP. Not to mention that in many cases Faytis isn't even useful like if it's verse a standard 1-3-1-3 open. Your argument is based on creating an SP advantage, and not the temporal aspect. Once again, Jewel only affects the temporal aspect, NOT the relative difference in SP advantages.
I'm just saying from a person who has relied on Faytis to win games for years now, this argument of "sooner faytis = OP" sounds really flimsy. When I used to play a lot of Mirelia and Serpent I would always drop Faytis AFTER playing Mirelia or Sea Hunter and generally saw no point in rushing it.
So once again to be clear, obviously Faytis creates an SP advantage, but Faytis, by definition of what it does, is only useful in a select number of cases and is many times useless. So you're arguing about a subset games, which is akin to saying, "Vonderam is OP because he is too strong verse level 3 rushes." Additionally, Faytis can be used when you open Jewel OR you open cath. Personally, I find Cath - MoF - Faytis to be superior to Jewel - Tidal - Faytis. Once again, you aren't comparing Jewel open with Cath open, and you're not addressing the temporal aspect of the SP edge.
The issue is that this subset of matches isn't just "level 2 rush" but "level 2 open". EG want to open archer scout dryad with BKR? Tough. Want to open tiger exgirl? Tough. So it's either open buncle (risk backlsah), Rileira (just complete junk), or get shaded. As for early Faytis, if you play her earlier and she dies earlier, your SP flows better. *Shrug*

Physicist Dennis Nuel was the first human to probe the strange realms called anomaly worlds - alternate universes where the laws of science were unpredictably changed. But the world Dennis discovered seemed almost like our own - with one perplexing difference. To his astonishment, he was hailed as a wizard and found himself fighting beside a beautiful woman with strange powers against a mysterious warlord as he struggles to solve the riddle of this baffling world.
©1984 David Brin (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
"Lively, outlandish, and entertaining." (Publishers Weekly)
Live naked, eat anything, feel no shame and kill monsters.
"My favorite Brin novel. Glad it's now in audio."
Absolutely! 20 years ago I discovered an amazing new world in the Uplift novels and like an unsupervised child with a bag of halloween candy, I devoured them. Over the next couple of years I read all of Brin's novels and The Practice Effect is my favorite with Startide Rising coming in a close second. I am very happy that this book finally came out in audio and pleased that the narration was good and did not distract from what I consider an amazing story.
The practice effect!
The narration did not distract from the story.
I enjoyed Dennis's Wright Brothers moment.
I am disappointed that the only Brin novel that ever made it to film was the Postman. The Postman movie/screenplay was an unmitigated disaster and I would have loved to have seen The Uplift War or Startide Rising made into a GOOD film.
I value intelligent stories with characters I can relate to. I can appreciate good prose, but a captivating plot is way more important.
"This book was doomed to fail"
The author started with an interesting premise, but one which could have no logical solution in the end. Brin wrapped up the book in a hurry and gave us the answers that we were looking for, but it was clear that even he thought they were so lame that they weren't worth exploring.
I've read two Brin novels now, and both of them had the same problem: Brin has clever ideas, but mediocre follow-through.
This book was kind of fun, but it also felt a bit unpolished and immature. It would have made for a fantastic episode of Star Trek or the Twilight Zone, where you can forgive some loose ends for the sake of enjoying the thought experiment. It just didn't have enough meat to justify an entire novel.
"David Brin at his best!"
Near the top
Probably the robot.
Did a nice job but the story was the star.
Move me? No, but the whole concept is really fun to think about.
One of my favorite books of all time not for anything but the concept of the practice effect.
Blind listener reading everything, especially sf&f & mystery/thrillers, restricted to audio so picky where credits are spent #BooksRule
"Practice Makes Perfect"
A really fun romp... Whimsical and entertaining... I wasn't expecting the lighthearted and humorous story from this author, but was pleasantly surprised... The only downside is the narration, which was entirely too slow and poorly paced... Worked well on 1.5 speed, but don't know if I could have handled it at regular speed...
"Just OK"
Not a bad story but lacks maturity or seems a bit dated. Probably more suitable for kids than adults.
"A good book and an OK performance"
I first read this as a print book and bought the audio book after I lost the original. I loved the book but this performance did not quite work for me. The reader's voice just didn't gel for me. That said, it is a clever book with some remarkable ideas and it may be that coming to it fresh would be a very different experience - much like seeing a film without having read the book first. There is a lot to like about this and the blending of SF and fantasy (always difficult to pull off) works remarkably well here.

How inspiring! I am in my mid sixties, and today I had to ran to the drugstore to buy something I needed. Since it is so cold here in Calgry, I told to myself "I just trow the coat, and a hat on, and I'm ready to go".
While the car warmed up, I came to peek at the site, saw that elegant lady, and I felt ashamed of myself. If that lady can make an effort to look good , so can I.
- November 11, 2012 at 3:52 PM
This wonderful lady clearly has an eye for mixing colors and patterns. She looks so chic and elegant! I can't quite tell if that's a skirt or a dress...either way, I absolutely adore that print.

Well done. I like non-symmetrical ships a la Millienium Falcon
I've been practicing various sketch-like plans of all kinds of things and I decided to try a few sci-fi ones too.
I envisaged this as some kind of tug, transport or some such. It'd pull something modular behind it. I didn't plan it at all and it was mostly for practice. The design assumes some kind of gravity system to generate an earth-like environment.
I think I'll contain any future ones I do to this thread too. They are done on a grid but I have turned off the grid for this first one.
Well done. I like non-symmetrical ships a la Millienium Falcon
Check it http://realmwright.blogspot.com/
That is a really nice sketch. I like the layout of this ship. Waiting for more.
That really looks great. I also like the "non standard" shaped ships. A few "decorations" and this would be great for a game

Lookscomic-y, I like it. Is that made with a vector program?
This is cool, can you make an image of the outer shell?
No vector program, just quickly hand-drawn in SAI. Drawing waystations and inns can get tedious so I like to do a little modern or sci-fi to break things up.
I might make an outer image of it in the future but it depends on if I get around to doing so. I am a bit busy with NaNoWriMo this month.
Very good work, I like the ship!

Nonsymmetrical ship designs like the Falcon are cool, but this one would fly in circles only.

Mistakes lead election officials to wrongly purge some voter names
Errors originating in the office of the Knox County Criminal Court Clerk's Office are impacting agencies outside the City County Building where the department operates.
A WBIR Channel 10 investigation into problems in the office discovered that clerk's mistakes may have caused some residents to lose their right to vote, according to documents obtained under the state's open record laws.
Here's what happened:
The criminal court clerk's office is responsible for sending "infamous card" notifications to the Knox County Election Commission when someone is convicted of a felony – since felons are not allowed to vote in Tennessee.
Election officials then purge that person's name from the voting registry. The name also is placed in a statewide database to prevent that person from registering to vote in other counties. The information also is sent to the State Election Commission.
RECORDS: Infamous card and letter from criminal court clerk
On Sept. 3, the clerk's office sent notification that Rebecca Sue McSwords was convicted in August of a felony, and "therefore should be purged from the registration records."
But, on Oct. 14, Knox County Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey sent the election commission a letter, saying a mistake was made.
"This letter is to confirm to you that on Aug. 17, 2013, an infamous card was done in error for Rebecca Sue McSwords," it states. "Ms. McSwords was charged with Driving Without a License in Possession, in a C-Misdemeanor charge. Our records indicate that the Infamous Card was printed August 30, 2013 and sent to the Election Commission Office. We are enclosing a copy of this judgment so you may correct your records accordingly."
McSwords could not be reached for comment.
The criminal court clerk's office typically sends "a stack of cards" every three or four weeks to the election commission, said Administrator of Elections Clifford Rodgers. Overall, the office receives hundreds of the cards each year, and Rodgers said his staff told him that it typically needs to correct mistakes such as the one made to McSwords record "about five or six times a year."
He said they're "not difficult to undo, but it takes time."
He said either the criminal court clerk's office discovers the mistakes and informs his office, or his workers find out when someone registers to vote and a felony appears on the record.
He said his office relies on the information provided to him by the criminal court clerk's office because it doesn't have its own independent means to keep up with newly convicted felons.
McCroskey's office maintains the official records of the Fourth Circuit Court, General Sessions and Criminal Court.
McCroskey, who did not return a call seeking comment Thursday, has come under fire in the past week for what officials are now calling a systemic problem that has led to wrongful arrests, wrongfully revoked driver's licenses, and unwarranted convictions.
McCroskey has said the problems are exaggerated and politically motivated. She is up for re-election next year.
She also has told WBIR that she plans to attend Monday's Knox County Commission meeting to answer questions at the request of board Chairman Brad Anders.

Upon approving any application under this section with respect to any project for the construction of public telecommunications facilities, the Secretary shall make a grant to the applicant in an amount determined by the Secretary, except that such amount shall not exceed 75 percent of the amount determined by the Secretary to be the reasonable and necessary cost of such project.
(c) Information and assurances
The Secretary may provide such funds as the Secretary deems necessary for the planning of any project for which construction funds may be obtained under this section. An applicant for a planning grant shall provide such information with respect to such project as the Secretary may require and shall provide assurances satisfactory to the Secretary that the applicant meets the eligible requirements of subsection (a) of this section to receive construction assistance.
(d) Studies
Any studies conducted by or for any grant recipient under this section shall be provided to the Secretary, if such studies are conducted through the use of funds received under this section.

the United States shall be entitled to recover from the applicant or other owner of such facilities the amount bearing the same ratio to the value of such facilities at the time the applicant ceases to be such an entity or at the time of such determination (as determined by agreement of the parties or by action brought in the United States district court for the district in which such facilities are situated), as the amount of the Federal participation bore to the cost of construction of such facilities.
(h) Recordkeeping requirements
Each recipient of assistance under this subpart shall keep such records as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Secretary to carry out the functions of the Secretary under this subpart, including a complete and itemized inventory of all public telecommunications facilities under the control of such recipient, and records which fully disclose the amount and the disposition by such recipient of the proceeds of such assistance, the total cost of the project in connection with which such assistance is given or used, the amount and nature of that portion of the cost of the project supplied by other sources, and such other records as will facilitate an effective audit.
(i) Accessibility of records
The Secretary and the Comptroller General of the United States, or any of their duly authorized representatives, shall have access for the purpose of audit and examination to any books, documents, papers, and records of any recipient of assistance under this subpart that are pertinent to assistance received under this subpart.

In the last month, Greenville has lost three of its city leaders including city manager Wayne Bowers. Thursday, Thomas Moton officially began his new assignment as the interim city manager and he is considering applying to take the position full-time.
Moton says the city has a number of projects to work on such as the economic development and revitalization of downtown. He says his main focus will be on the budget plan that will be adopted in June.
"To have the city council have the confidence in our management team as a whole and in me individually- it makes me feel very gratified and also it's quite a privilege to be put into this position with the level of responsibility required to do the job." said Moton.
Moton has served the city as the assistant city manager for more than five years.

Declares a condition name for an exception condition value.
A condition declaration defines an identifier that can be used as a name for exceptions and/or SQLSTATE values. The identifier can be used in SIGNAL and RESIGNAL statements as well as in handler declarations. This results in a code that is easier to read and understand compared with using explicit SQLSTATE values.
A condition identifier can optionally be associated with a SQLSTATE value. Using a condition identifier with an associated SQLSTATE value in a SIGNAL or RESIGNAL statement means that the associated SQLSTATE value is signaled as well. If the condition identifier does not have an associated SQLSTATE value, the SQLSTATE value 45000 is signaled.
A condition name which represents an SQLSTATE value may only be declared to represent a specific SQLSTATE value, i.e. it is not possible to declare a condition name to represent an exception class group. For a description of exception class groups, see DECLARE HANDLER.
The scope of a condition name covers all the procedural SQL statements in the compound statement declaring it, including any other compound statements nested within it.
The general naming rules for a condition name are the same as those for other database objects.
If a condition name is declared to represent a particular SQLSTATE value, another condition name cannot exist for that same SQLSTATE value which has exactly the same scope.
A condition name cannot be declared for an SQLSTATE value with class `successful completion', this covers all SQLSTATE values starting with 00.
The SQLSTATE value string is five characters long and contains only alphanumeric characters.
In Mimer SQL any SQLSTATE value that falls outside the range of standard SQLSTATE values is treated as an implementation-defined value.
Standard SQLSTATE values begin with the characters A-I, S, 0-4 and 7, while implementation-defined SQLSTATE values begin with the characters J-R, T-Z, 5-6 and 8-9.
ExampleDECLARE invalid_parameter CONDITION; DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION BEGIN DECLARE condition_name VARCHAR(128); GET EXCEPTION 1 condition_name = CONDITION_IDENTIFIER; IF condition_name = 'invalid_parameter' THEN ... END IF; END; SIGNAL invalid_parameter;
For more information, see Return Status and Conditions or Mimer SQL Programmer's Manual, Declaring Condition Names.
For information about the SIGNAL statement, see SIGNAL on page 289. For information about the RESIGNAL statement, see RESIGNAL on page 261.

Trial By Fire
this wiki
- "Take it and teach and these Triad vandals to fear El Burro's well-endowed wrath. ARRIBA!"
- ―El Burro is angry over the Triads.
Trial By Fire is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by Diablos leader El Burro from a payphone in the Hepburn Heights area of Portland Island, Liberty City.
Claude answers a payphone in Hepburn Heights. El Burro tells Claude that the Triads had stolen a car of Burro's with some of his memorabillia. They then wrecked and burned the car, so El Burro instructs Claude to avenge his Diablo Stallion by killing 25 Triads with a flamethrower. Claude then heads for Chinatown, where El Burro had placed a flamethrower. Claude sets fire to twenty-five Triads and completes the task.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to Chinatown and pick up the flamethrower
- Burn 25 Triads
The reward for completing the mission is $10,000. The player can get a $5000 bonus by taking out the Triad group at the basketball courts in Little China Park. The mission Big'n'Veiny is unlocked. Also, after completion of the mission, the Triads will become violent towards Claude, even if the player has not completed the mission The Pick-Up from Toni Cipriani.

Effective communication is an essential tool for those seeking careers in journalism, advertising, commerce, law, public relations, education or related fields.
The Communications and Critical Thinking (C&CT) track in philosophy serves students preparing for these careers with a unique interdisciplinary course of study that puts them on the fast track for any of those professional choices. It provides training in the latest media technologies and in timeless communication skills such as presenting good arguments, critical reasoning and logical evaluation of competing opinions.
Students specialize by selecting a specific set of courses from the wide variety offered for the major, and by adding minors in other related areas such as computer science, English, music, art, economics, psychology, sociology or political science.
Program Format
30-45 Credits
I. Introductory Level Classes--Choose two from the following:
45.201 Introduction to Philosophy
45.202 Introduction to Logic and Critical Reasoning
45.203 Introduction to Ethics
45.206 Introduction to Political Philosophy
II. Upper Level Classes
Students must take a minimum of five upper level philosophy classes (classes at the 300 or 400 level).
Students must take three interdisciplinary classes in subjects relevant to the Communications program. Since the availability of these classes is subject to change, there is no comprehensive list of classes that satisfy this requirement. The following is a sample list of the types of classes that would count as interdisciplinary electives. Students should consult with their advisor if they have questions about whether a particular class would count.
Students will ordinarily take a three-credit practicum consisting of a volunteer internship at a professional site relevant to their course of study. The practicum should be a minimum of 60 hours over the course of a semester. At the end of the practicum, students will write an eight-page essay describing their experience and its contribution to their course of study. Students may also opt out of the practicum and take an extra philosophy class or a focused directed study leading to a 25-page thesis paper on a topic they want to explore in depth.
A full description of course listings can be found in the undergraduate catalog.

Andrew Ian Dodge believes that a growing movement in Maine politics has been without a voice in Washington for too long. Dodge is one of six candidates who'd like to replace retiring Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe this fall. A self-described Libertarian, he believes that government cannot create jobs or fix the economy. Nor does he believe that it should prevent gay people from being married, or citizens from using marijuana or hallucinogenic mushrooms. Keith Shortall has the latest in our series of Your Vote 2012 candidate profiles.
Months before Maine's senior senator made her surprise announcement earlier this year, Andrew Ian Dodge (right) had already entered the GOP primary to challenger her. Then, when Snowe bowed out and a slew of other Republicans started jumping into the fray, Dodge decided to leave the Republican fold, and run as an independent.
"I'm running for U.S. Senate because I don't really think that there's a valuable 'liberty' choice in the race," Dodge says. "People in Maine deserve a choice and there is a big liberty-slash-Libertarian-limited-government movement in Maine."
Dodge says that growing up he lived all over the world, but his family's roots are firmly planted in Maine. He's 44 years old, and says his Libertarian beliefs go back to his college years at Colby, where he says he led the fight against "political correctness."
"I challenged the Colby establishment who decided that the CIA and various other government agencies - anybody they disagreed with - shouldn't be able to recruit graduates," he says. "And I pointed out that my parents were paying them to educate me, not to tell me who I could work for after Colby."
Dodge went on to earn a graduate degree from Hull University in England, where also worked for the Bow Group, a conservative think tank. He now works as a freelance writer, and lives in Harpswell with his wife, Kim Benson. On policy, Dodge believes that the problems facing the U.S. cannot be solved by government.
"I always fear when politicians say 'I'm going to create jobs.' Or presidents say, 'I'm going to create jobs,'" he says. "Unfortunately, government tends to prevent the creation of jobs rather than helping it by taxation, over-regulation. And people aren't spending because they're worried about their future. So the best way of stopping that is to get the economy going again, and the best way for the government to do that is to get the hell out of the way."
Dodge says he supporters a "flat tax" system, in which anyone making over $15,000 would pay 15 percent. He would also support across-the-board cuts in government spending, including cuts in the military budget. He supports expansion of domestic energy sources, including offshore oil exploration.
"And by the way I'm not one of these people who is against all alternative energy. I disagree with wind farms. They're inefficient for Maine. Tidal energy, now that makes sense," he says. "However, government should not either give bailouts, subsidies, or anything with taxpayer's money when they're $16 trillion in debt.
Keith Shortall: "Do you support nuclear power?"
Andrew Ian Dodge: "Yes."
Keith Shortall: "Expansion of nuclear power?"
Andrew Ian Dodge: "Yes. If it's good enough for the French, it's good enough for us."
Dodge says he does not support the Affordable Care Act championed by President Obama, and instead favors reforms that he says would increase competition and lower costs, such as tort reform and allowing the purchase of health insurance across state lines.
Medicare and Social Security, he says, may require means testing. And he's open to considering higher age requirements. And Dodge says his belief in personal liberty extends to "self medication." Specifically, he would decriminalize marijuana, and hallucinogenic mushrooms.
"Obviously, when it's manufactured - when you're talking about 'ecstacy' and things like that - there I can see a very clear reason why we ban it, but marijuana? Please. I mean, it's just ridiculous. There's the prohibitionary instinct which is not logical, not reasoned, and there are medical benefits to marijuana as well. And busting people for trying to help themselves so they don't puke up their guts when they're on chemo is just ridiculous."
"From what I know of his views, he certainly adopts a kind of classic Libertarian position," says Mark Brewer, an associate professor of political science at the University of Maine.
He says while it's true that the small-goverment Libertarian movement has shown its presence in recent months, it's not clear whether Andrew Ian Dodge is their man. But Brewer says Dodge and fellow independent Danny Dalton could pull some support away from GOP candidate Charlie Summers come November.
"Do Dodge or Dalton have a legitimate chance to win this election? No," Brewer says. "On the other hand could they poll one, two or three percent each? Sure. And if they take that predominantly from Charlie Summers as opposed to, say, Angus King or Cynthia Dill, that's a big problem for Summers. And I think, he - Summers - more so than King or Dill is the one candidate who has something to kind of worry about here with both Dodge and Dalton."
The other independent candidate in the race is Yarmouth businessman Steve Woods.

Linux Containers, or LXC, is a Linux feature that allows Linux to run one or more isolated virtual systems (with their own network interfaces, process namespace, user namespace, and power state) using a single Linux kernel on a single server.
As of Linux kernel 3.1.5, LXC is usable for isolating your own private workloads from one another. It is not yet ready to isolate potentially malicious users from one another or the host system. For a more mature containers solution that is appropriate for hosting environments, see OpenVZ.
LXC containers don't yet have their own system uptime, and they see everything that's in the host's dmesg output, among other things. But in general, the technology works.
Control groups
- Control groups (cgroups) Implemented as VFS, since 2.6.24
- Allows aggregation of tasks
- Subsystems (cpuset, memory, blkio,...)
- accounting, limitation, priorizatio,...
- No disk quota limitation ( -> image file, LVM, XFS, directory tree quota)

Configuring the Funtoo Host System
Install LXC kernel
Any kernel beyond 3.1.5 will probably work. Personally I prefer the sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.4.9 as these have support for all the namespaces without sacrificing the xfs, FUSE or NFS support for example. These checks were introduced later starting from kernel 3.5, this could also mean that the user namespace is not working optimally.
- User namespace (EXPERIMENTAL) depends on EXPERIMENTAL and on UIDGID_CONVERTED
- config UIDGID_CONVERTED
- True if all of the selected software components are known to have uid_t and gid_t converted to kuid_t and kgid_t where appropriate and are otherwise safe to use with the user namespace.
- Networking - depends on NET_9P = n
- Filesystems - 9P_FS = n, AFS_FS = n, AUTOFS4_FS = n, CEPH_FS = n, CIFS = n, CODA_FS = n, FUSE_FS = n, GFS2_FS = n, NCP_FS = n, NFSD = n, NFS_FS = n, OCFS2_FS = n, XFS_FS = n
- Security options - Grsecurity - GRKERNSEC = n (if applicable)
- True if all of the selected software components are known to have uid_t and gid_t converted to kuid_t and kgid_t where appropriate and are otherwise safe to use with the user namespace.
- config UIDGID_CONVERTED
- As of 3.10.xx kernel, all of the above options are safe to use with User namespaces, except for XFS_FS, therefore with kernel >=3.10.xx, you should answer XFS_FS = n, if you want User namespaces support.
Kernel configuration
These options should be enable in your kernel to be able to take full advantage of LXC.
- General setup
- CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR (in 3.6+ kernels it's called CONFIG_MEMCG)
- CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP (in 3.6+ kernels it's called CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP)
- CONFIG_CPUSETS (on multiprocessor hosts)
- Networking support
- Networking options
- Networking options
- Device Drivers
- Character devices
- Unix98 PTY support
- Unix98 PTY support
- Network device support
- Network core driver support
- Network core driver support
- Character devices
Once you have lxc installed, you can then check your kernel config with:
# CONFIG=/path/to/config /usr/sbin/lxc-checkconfig
Emerge lxc
# emerge -av app-emulation/lxc
Configure Networking For Container
Typically, one uses a bridge to allow containers to connect to the network. This is how to do it under Funtoo Linux:
- create a bridge using the Funtoo network configuration scripts. Name the bridge something like brwan (using /etc/init.d/netif.brwan). Configure your bridge to have an IP address.
- Make your physical interface, such as eth0, an interface with no IP address (use the Funtoo interface-noip template.)
- Make netif.eth0 a slave of netif.brwan in /etc/conf.d/netif.brwan.
- Enable your new bridged network and make sure it is functioning properly on the host.
You will now be able to configure LXC to automatically add your container's virtual ethernet interface to the bridge when it starts, which will connect it to your network.
Setting up a Funtoo Linux LXC Container
Here are the steps required to get Funtoo Linux running inside a container. The steps below show you how to set up a container using an existing Funtoo Linux OpenVZ template. It is now also possible to use Metro to build an lxc container tarball directly, which will save you manual configuration steps and will provide an /etc/fstab.lxc file that you can use for your host container config. See Metro Recipes for info on how to use Metro to generate an lxc container.
Create and Configure Container Filesystem
- Start with a Funtoo LXC template, and unpack it to a directory such as /var/lib/lxc/funtoo.
- Create an empty /var/lib/lxc/funtoo/etc/fstab file.
- Ensure c1 line is uncommented (enabled) and c2 through c6 lines are disabled in /var/lib/lxc/funtoo/etc/inittab.
That's almost all you need to get the container filesystem ready to start.
Create Container Configuration Files
Create the following files:
Daniel Robbins needs to update this config to be more in line with http://wiki.progress-linux.org/software/lxc/ -- this config appears to have nice, refined device node permissions and other goodies.
Read "man 5 lxc.conf" , to get more information about linux container configuration file.
## Container lxc.utsname = funtoo lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/lxc/funtoo lxc.arch = x86_64 lxc.tty = 6 lxc.pts = 1024 #lxc.console = /var/log/lxc/funtoo.console ## Capabilities lxc.cap.drop = sys_admin sys_module mac_admin mac_override ## Devices # Allow all devices #lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = a # Deny all devices lxc.cgroup.devices.deny = a # Allow to mknod all devices (but not using them) lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c *:* m lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = b *:* m # /dev/console lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:1 rwm # /dev/fuse lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 10:229 rwm # /dev/null lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:3 rwm # /dev/ptmx lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:2 rwm # /dev/pts/* lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 136:* rwm # /dev/random lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:8 rwm # /dev/rtc lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 254:0 rwm # /dev/tty lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 5:0 rwm # /dev/urandom lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:9 rwm # /dev/zero lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 1:5 rwm ## Limits# lxc.cgroup.cpu.shares = 1024 #lxc.cgroup.cpuset.cpus = 0 #lxc.cgroup.memory.limit_in_bytes = 256M #lxc.cgroup.memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes = 1G ## Filesystem lxc.mount = /etc/lxc/funtoo/fstab #lxc.mount.entry = proc /var/lib/lxc/example.org/rootfs/proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 #lxc.mount.entry = sysfs /var/lib/lxc/example.org/rootfs/sys sysfs defaults,ro 0 0 #lxc.mount.entry = /srv/share/example.org /var/lib/example.org/rootfs/srv/example.org none defaults,bind 0 0 ## Network lxc.network.type = veth lxc.network.flags = up lxc.network.hwaddr = #put your MAC address here, otherwise you will get a random one lxc.network.link = br0 lxc.network.name = eth0 #lxc.network.veth.pair = veth-example
Read "man 7 capabilities" to get more information aboout Linux capabilities.
Above, use the following command to generate a random MAC for lxc.network.hwaddr:
# openssl rand -hex 6 | sed 's/\(..\)/\1:/g; s/.$//'
It is a very good idea to assign a static MAC address to your container using lxc.network.hwaddr. If you don't, LXC will auto-generate a new random MAC every time your container starts, which may confuse network equipment that expects MAC addresses to remain constant.
It might happen from case to case that you aren't able to start your LXC Container with the above generated MAC address so for all these who run into that problem here is a little script that connects your IP for the container with the MAC address. Just save the following code as /etc/lxc/hwaddr.sh, make it executable and run it like /etc/lxc/hwaddr.sh xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents your Container IP.
#!/bin/sh IP=$* HA=`printf "02:00:%x:%x:%x:%x" ${IP//./ }` echo $HA
none /lxc/funtoo/dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 none /lxc/funtoo/proc proc defaults 0 0 none /lxc/funtoo/sys sysfs defaults 0 0 none /lxc/funtoo/dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=1777,rw 0 0
Initializing and Starting the Container
You will probably need to set the root password for the container before you can log in. You can use chroot to do this quickly:
# chroot /lxc/funtoo (chroot) # passwd New password: XXXXXXXX Retype new password: XXXXXXXX passwd: password updated successfully # exit
Now that the root password is set, run:
# lxc-start -n funtoo -d
The -d option will cause it to run in the background.
To attach to the console:
# lxc-console -n funtoo
You should now be able to log in and use the container. In addition, the container should now be accessible on the network.
To stop the container:
# lxc-stop -n funtoo
Ensure that networking is working from within the container while it is running, and you're good to go!
LXC Bugs/Missing Features
This section is devoted to documenting issues with the current implementation of LXC and its associated tools. We will be gradually expanding this section with detailed descriptions of problems, their status, and proposed solutions.
By default, lxc does not support rebooting a container from within. It will simply stop and the host will not know to start it.
PID namespaces
Process ID namespaces are functional, but the container can still see the CPU utilization of the host via the system load (ie. in top).
/dev/pts newinstance
- Some changes may be required to the host to properly implement "newinstance" /dev/pts. See This Red Hat bug.
lxc-create and lxc-destroy
- LXC's shell scripts are badly designed and are sure way to destruction, avoid using lxc-create and lxc-destroy.
network initialization and cleanup
- If used network.type = phys after lxc-stop the interface will be renamed to value from lxc.network.link. It supposed to be fixed in 0.7.4, happens still on 0.7.5 - http://firstname.lastname@example.com/msg01760.html
- Re-starting a container can result in a failure as network resource are tied up from the already-defunct instance: [1]
- Missing tool to graceful shutdown container. 'lxc-halt' should be written and be posix sh-compatible, using lxc-execute to run halt in container.
- Our udev should be updated to contain -lxc in scripts. (This has been done as of 02-Nov-2011, so should be resolved. But not fixed in our openvz templates, so need to regen them in a few days.)
- Our openrc should be patched to handle the case where it cannot mount tmpfs, and gracefully handle this situation somehow. (Work-around in our docs above, which is to mount tmpfs to /libexec/rc/init.d using the container-specific fstab file (on the host.)
- Emerging udev within a container can/will fail when realdev is run, if a device node cannot be created (such as /dev/console) if there are no mknod capabilities within the container. This should be fixed.
- man 7 capabilities
- man 5 lxc.conf
- There are a number of additional lxc features that can be enabled via patches: [2]
- Ubuntu User Namespaces page
- lxc-gentoo setup script on GitHub
- IBM developerWorks
- Linux Weekly News

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina guard P.J. Hairston says he'll return for his junior season instead of entering the NBA draft.
Hairston averaged 18.2 points and shot 40 percent on 3-pointers over the final 13 games after becoming a starter in a four-guard lineup. He averaged a team-high 14.6 points this season.
In a statement from the school Friday, Hairston said returning was "my way of supporting" coach Roy Williams and his teammates. He also tweeted: "My junior year will be one to remember."
Hairston helped UNC (25-11) dig out of an 0-2 start in the Atlantic Coast Conference to reach the ACC tournament final and the third round of the NCAA tournament.
