Check the map — your alderman may have changed.
The Springfield City Council has approved a new ward map as it's supposed to every ten years to reflect the latest census. Ward 2 Alderman Gail Simpson voted for a map that increased the percentage of African-Americans in her ward.
"If you get to a point where you keep eroding the percentages, you get to a point where people will say 'well, it doesn't matter. Let's continue to decrease them,'" she says. "Why go back?"
The map currently in use has Ward 2 as 59 percent African-American. A consent decree from the 1980's was put in place to ensure minority representation on the city council through a majority-minority ward, which has historically been Ward 2. What was referred to as a "gentleman's agreement" during the council meeting outlined aldermen would try for 60 percent African-American representation, but that's not codified in law or the decree.
Several aldermen favored a different map that would have made Ward 2 57 percent African-American instead of 60. The approved map, however, splits the Enos Park neighborhood into two wards, for example, and Ward 6 extends south of Interstate 72.
"It's clearly not an urban… 90 percent of Ward 6 is an urban ward, but it goes completely south," said Ward 6 Alderman Cory Jobe, who was the lone alderman to vote no. "It's not really intact."
"Stuff happens," said Simpson, when asked to respond to Jobe's concerns about contiguous wards.
Also a point of contention in Ward 6: the old YWCA site and adjacent parking lot, which Jobe says he worked hard to get TIF designation for, is now in Ward 2.

I tried Firefox, google chrome, ... all not working and connecting to the Internet except Internet explorer who works perfectly.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I tried Firefox, google chrome, ... all not working and connecting to the Internet except Internet explorer who works perfectly.
Any ideas how to fix this?
You are having trouble in using all the other web browser except the Internet explorer. You have already tried the Mozilla Firefox and the google chrome web browsers. I will recommend you to again install them by first removing it properly from your system. If the same problem exist again then install the Opera or the Apple Safari (Windows). May be it will work.
I'll try Opera but I doubt they will work also.
Firefox, Chrome, and also Skype doesn't connect, it says connection fail.
There must be something messed up in my system. Any ideas?
again IE works fine. Vista 64 bit.
Ok. just installed Opera. no luck also.
Last edited by zeem; 11-04-2010 at 01:16 AM.
First of all tell me which one series of operating system you are using. The IE is the default browser provided by the windows OS where as you install the firefox and other browser as a separate browser then you should uninstall the external browser that you have installed currently. Then try to access the browser randomly.
I am using Windows Vsta 64 bit OS.
I didn't understand exactly what you mean. The thing it may be not only browsers as programs such as skype fails to connect always.
Even if I set firefox as my default browser it doesn'y work. Any ideas?
The thing is I just connected my desktop which is XP and all programs work perfectly. Firefox, Opera, Skype,...
But on my laptop which is Vista 64 bit it seems all programs can't connect to Internet except IE. Skype can't connect, my anti-virus can't update, Firefox and opera won't work and it's really messy this problem.
Maybe a user control problem?
I reset my internet and network connection even went as deleting windows update and nothing.
It seems like that there is the Firewall problem in your laptop having the Windows Vista 64 bit operating system which is blocking all the other browsers except the Internet explorer to connect to the internet. So first of all check the firewall setting of the Windows Vista operating system in your laptop. If it is the reason then remove the programs from the blocked applications list by the firewall of the Windows Vista operating system.
There is a possibility that some firewall application or the security software that you are using is blocking the applications that you are trying to get the things work out with the same. So disable the feature.
even whe I turn off firewall it still doesn't work. Can it be windows defender?
Hello there, before you get to Windows Defender, I suggest you to make sure that you are trying to work with the compatible browsers with Windows Vista or not. It can be that the incompatibility is causing the issue.
I disabled Firefox and Windows Defender and nothing happened.
The thing is there is a big connectivity problem on my vista. As I said all browser don't work except Internet Explorer. All programs that need to connect to server like Skype don't work. Messenger does though. Any anti-virus I tried cannot connect to server to install updates.
I used to have a trial version of Norton when I bought my laptop which used to update but ever since it ended and I uninstalled I think I started having this problem.
I think that the browser setup file you are trying to install is of 32bit operating system. I think you should search for 64bit operating system browser. The 32bit browser generates error in 64bit.

After conquering mount 19K a day before, Indian equities extended gains on Friday amid strong global cues and weak GDP data, which raised hopes of a cut in key policy rates in the coming weeks. In doing so, the benchmark indices capped a spectacular week, with the BSE Sensex crossing the psychological 19,000-mark and logging stellar gains of 4.5% to touch a 19-month high.
Gross domestic product (GDP) slid to 5.3% for the quarter ended September compared with 5.5% in the previous quarter and 6.7% in corresponding quarter last fiscal. But the market chose to see the positive side of of these numbers, hoping that the weak GDP data would force RBI's hand to bring down interest rates during its next policy review. Despite their stance on inflation, the RBI is likely to come under immense pressure on easing rates in the coming quarters. We maintain expectations of another 50 bps easing on the repo by March 2013, and possibly more going forward, said Gautam Trivedi, MD & head of equities, Religare Capital Markets.
The 30-share BSE Sensex ended Friday with gains of 169 points or 0.88% to 19,339, while the broader 50-share Nifty added 54.8 points or 0.94% to close at 5,879. On Friday, FIIs bought shares worth R1,611 crore, while domestic institutional investors sold shares worth R798 crore, BSE data show.
FIIs have purchased stocks worth $2billion in November, taking the year-to-date purchases to $20.07 billion. The benchmark BSE Sensex is up about 25% in the year to date and is among the best performing among emerging markets on the back of foreign inflows. Market participants expect the FII floodgates to remain open if the reform measures go through.
The mood was upbeat throughout the week. On Tuesday, ratings agency Moody's kept India's credit outlook as stable, saying the country had a high savings rate and its private sector remained competitive. On Thursday, foreign brokerage Goldman Sachs upgraded Indian stocks to 'overweight' from 'market-weight', setting a December 2013 target of 6,600 points for the 50-share Nifty index, which is about a 12.2% upside from the index's current levels. The brokerage cited growth recovery and inflation moderation for its revised target.
Earlier this week, brokerage Morgan Stanley set a probability-weighted target of 23,069 for the BSE Sensex for December 2013, implying a 26% upside, citing a steady recovery in broad earnings growth.
Overseas newsflow was positive as well. Greece's

Dyeing Easter eggs naturally
Easter is Sunday and, of course, this weekend we have plans to dye eggs for our annual Easter egg hunt. Ava enjoyed it last year, in the snow I might add, but is even more excited about it this year.

Please bear in mind that the Embassy is limited by jurisdiction in the assistance it can provide to Americans arrested in Thailand. The U.S. Government has no funds for your legal fees or other related expenses.
The Consular Role
Although consular officers cannot serve as attorneys or give legal advice, they can provide a list of local attorneys and help you find legal representation. However, neither the Department of State nor the U.S. Consulate can assume any responsibility for the caliber, competence, or professional integrity of these attorneys.
A consular officer will do whatever he/she can to protect your legitimate interests and ensure that you are not discriminated against under local law. A consular officer cannot release prisoners, provide guarantees of their comportment, or provide funds for bail. If you are arrested, immediately ask that a consular officer at the U.S. Embassy be notified. If you are turned down, keep asking--politely, but persistently. If unsuccessful, try to have someone get in touch with us on your behalf.
Upon learning of your arrest, a U.S. Consular Officer will visit you, provide a list of local attorneys, inform the Department of State of your arrest and, if requested, contact family or friends in the U.S. or elsewhere*.
*Please note: the U.S. Department of State will not disclose the information you provide unless you have given us written authorization to do so. If you wish us to contact someone on your behalf, please complete the authorization form (through the link below), specifying whom a U.S. Consular Office may contact and to whom to release information with regard to your case. Please return the completed authorization to a U.S. Consular Office.
Consuls can help you transfer money, food, and clothing from your family and friends. They will also try to get relief if you are held under inhumane or unhealthful conditions or are treated less equitably than others in the same situation.
The Embassy has compiled the following list of Thai law firms willing to assist English-speakers with a wide variety of legal concerns. Each firm listed below has English-speaking attorneys on staff and in many cases, Bangkok-based firms are able to conduct correspondence in English. Firms outside of the capital may not be able to offer a wide range of English services. It may be necessary for Americans to hire their own translator.
Please click here to see a PDF copy of the list of attorneys (PDF 552KB) (Updated June 2014).
Firms are separated by location, with the largest number of firms located in Bangkok. This list contains contact information for attorneys in the Central and Southern regions of Thailand only. Those interested in attorneys practicing in Northern Thailand should contact the Consulate General in Chiang Mai by phone at (66) (53) 252-629. Inquiries may also be faxed to (66) (53) 252-633. The Consulate General is located at 387 Vidhayanond Road.
Please note: the American Embassy cannot guarantee the professional ability or integrity of these firms.
The Thai Judicial Process
Arrest: Police may hold you for questioning for up to 48 hours without judicial review. Then, police must either release you or take you before a judge for a "show cause" hearing. There, the judge will either order your release or decide that there are reasonable grounds to continue detention for 12 days while the alleged crime is investigated.
Investigative Detention: At this point, police will transfer you from their holding cell to a remand prison. (See "The Thai Penal System," below.) Until the prosecutor files charges, a judge must reauthorize detention every 12 days. A judge may authorize a maximum of seven 12-day investigative detention periods (84 days total). For most offenses, there is the possibility of release on bail, but you must usually provide cash or assets located in Thailand as surety.
Filing Charges: No later than 91 days after your arrest (84 days of investigation, plus 7 days for prosecutorial review), the prosecutor must file formal charges. If the judge agrees with the charges, the case enters the pre-trial period. Your attorney, the prosecutor and the court will negotiate a trial date based on their schedules and availability.
Pre-Trial: This period can last a few weeks or a few months depending on the court's caseload and the negotiated trial date. There is no discovery process in the Thai court system, so you will not have access to evidence before the trial. In general, there is little you can do to affect the way your case is presented. Most Thai attorney make these decisions with little consultation with their clients.
Trial: There are no jury trials in Thailand. Instead, a single judge usually decides misdemeanor cases, while two or more judges are required for more serious cases. Trials are conducted in Thai, and translation might not be available. Depending on the nature of the case, your trial could take one day or several days. You will not know the outcome immediately. The verdict reading will take place several weeks after the trial.
Sentencing: There are no mandatory rules about sentencing in criminal cases, but Thai judges must consider all circumstances pertaining to an offense as well as its severity. The usual penalty for a criminal conviction is a fine, imprisonment, or both. It is sometimes possible to get a lesser or suspended sentence by admitting guilt. However, this might not prevent you from being deported after trial. Sentences in drug-related cases can be much more severe than those for similar offenses in the U.S.
Appeal: If convicted, you have 30 days to decide whether to appeal. You can appeal either the guilty verdict or the severity of the sentence. The prosecutor can also appeal if you are acquitted or the state considers the sentence too light. Appeals are reviews of the case record by a panel of judges. There are two levels of appeal: Courts of Appeal (there is one in Chiang Mai) and the Supreme Court (in Bangkok). Appeal to either of these levels can take months or years. If you are convicted and have finished your appeals, you may seek a Royal Pardon by application through prison authorities.
The Thai Penal System
Overcrowding is common in Thai jails and prisons, and cells might be cramped. You will be provided with meals, though the type and quantity of food might be very different from what you are used to. You may receive visitors during designated hours. They can purchase additional food, toiletries, and comfort items for you at a special prison store. They also can deposit money in your prison account for you to use at the store. You may send and receive letters, but the prison administration will review mail and can withhold any items it deems insulting or defamatory.
If you are convicted, the Thai Department of Corrections can transfer you to a prison anywhere in Thailand. Foreigners often are transferred to Klongprem Prison in Bankgok. Under certain circumstances, you may apply to be transferred to a prison in the U.S. After serving their sentences, foreigners typically are deported.

Today I was to pick her up and bring her home for a break. I couldn't wait to see her again even though we were with her for her birthday just a few days ago. I guess my excitement was also heightened by the news that at some point during this day my first Grandchild was going to arrive, three weeks early as a result of my Daughter in Laws Pre eclampsia. Nervous of how things were progressing I was glad of the distraction of the drive to Dilston. Hayley would be excited too. She couldn't wait to be an Auntie and being home when the baby arrived was the icing on the cake.
Dilston College is set in beautiful surroundings and looks stunning at any time of the year. Today autumn was showing it off at its best. The large trees surrounding the buildings were shedding their leaves like a ticker tape parade and the rich colours brightened up even this damp and greyest of days.
The cottage that Hayley lives in is very old and is situated next to an old chapel and an even older castle ruin. The archway into the garden next to the cottage has the date 1661 carved into it giving a small clue to its history.
The door was open as I arrived and other parents were waiting to pick up their offspring. Hayley was so excited and couldn't wait to pack her belongings into the car. But before we could get going we needed to have a chat with her Personal Tutor who quickly brought me up to date with all that had happened since we dropped Hayley off in September.
Apparently she had been working really hard and had been getting on well in most of her sessions. There were, however, a couple of concerns, particularly with Hayley's lack of understanding about letting staff know where she was going after sessions finished and the fact that she had problems with sleeping. Neither of these came as a surprise to me. Hayley has always been a strong minded individual and sleeping had never been her strong point, especially as she was now expected to share a room with another young lady who probably had her own little routines and habits. So nothing to really worry about, in fact these were things that we had just had to learn to live with over the years.
So bags packed safely into the car we were off. Back home for the first time in weeks! This was going to be a busy time in the Brown household. Welcoming back a daughter and welcoming in our first grandchild, a little boy born later that day!

Condé Nast Traveler just came out with their list of Best New Hotels with Great Food, and guess which Toronto hot-spot made it on there…? Café Boulud. Not surprising to us – it's become one of our new favourites around town – the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel Toronto has everything from their rooms to their restaurant to their spa in top form. Calling Café Boulud "a magnet for Toronto's upwardly mobile," we couldn't agree more with Condé Nast. In fact, earlier this year we touted the new Daniel Boulud restaurant as Toronto's Best Present. Their food is sensational, the atmosphere is vibrant and artsy, and the service is pristine.

To put it quite simply, Michel Gondry's upcoming "Mood Indigo" looks like the return to form many fans have been waiting for. While the director has been off pursuing various other challenges in the film world, it's been a while since we've dropped into the sort of cinematic funhouse he's put up on screen in "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind," "The Science Of Sleep" or even "Be Kind Rewind" (underrated in this writer's opinion). But "Mood Indigo" looks like an utterly charming, whimsical romance, and after a gorgeous first trailer in January, a brand new, equally lovely spot has emerged.
Featuring much more dialogue and an array of new footage along with a bit of stuff we've seen before, this trailer once again plays up the romance at the heart of the story, while perhaps keeping the more tragic elements hinted at for now. Based on the beloved novel by Boris Vian, the film tells the tale of Colin (Romain Duris), the wealthy inventor of an olfactory musical instrument. He marries Chloe (Audrey Tautou), but unfortunately she falls ill during their honeymoon thanks to a water lily that enters her lung, and the only way to treat the ailment is to surround her with fresh flowers – an expense that soon drains his funds.
Gad Elmaleh and Omar Sy are among those rounding out the cast, and all told, this looks pretty damned delightful. "Mood Indigo" opens in France on April 24th, but still no distributor or date for North America. Get on that, buyers! Watch below. And in case you're wondering, the song is "I Love You" by Woodkid.

I also like to make a taco version using taco seasoning and Kraft Taco Cheese.
Pretty good. The hubby and kids liked it.
The recipe didn't have a lot of flavor, other than the meat and tots. I didn't really like the consistency either.
Oh my goodness.......this is so good!!!! I love this dish! It was so easy to make. I usually make more fancy dishes then this one and let me tell you...this is as good as the others. Thank you for this recipe!

New Jersey corn maze honors Derek Jeter
Published: Thursday, August 21, 2014 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 19, 2014 at 12:15 p.m.
As far as corny Derek Jeter tributes go, this one will be tough to beat.
A farm in central New Jersey recently carved an image of the New York Yankees captain and a thank-you message to him into its five-acre corn maze.
The VonThun Farm in South Brunswick is about 55 miles south of Yankee Stadium.
"Thanks Captain Clutch" is carved into the maze, along with a baseball with Jeter's No. 2 on it. Cindy VonThun, whose husband's family owns the farm, said the maze will be open from Sept. 20 through Halloween.
"This was just something totally different," she said. "To walk out in the field and to be on a path and to say, 'I'm in Derek Jeter's chin,' it's pretty cool."
Jeter is retiring after 19 seasons with the Yankees.

How often should my 9 week old be nursing?
She started spacing her feeding to every 5 or 6 hours. when I offer her the breast she cries and screams usless it has been at least 5 hours since her last feeding. Has this happened to anyone else?

At that age, most babies are still nursing 8 to 12 times per 24 hours. A very, very few moms have a large storage capacity, meaning you can have a lot of milk in your breasts at one time and she can get a lot in each nursing, but even then it should be closer to 6 to 8 times in 24 hours. If she is still having appropriate wet and dirty diapers and growing well, it may just be a phase. I would try offering in very low key settings, such as in a warm bath doing skin to skin contact, when she's just falling asleep or just waking up, or don't offer at all but be topless and let her snuggle on your chest skin to skin (you can put a blanket around both of you for warmth if need be). I would want to get her nursing more if possible.posted 11/12/2011 by emmara

April was a Fool - Download Here!
(Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux)
Two years ago, six heroes rose to stop an Evil Overlord from taking over the world. They were honoured as World-Class Heroes for their efforts. When a new threat appears, His Majesty King of Castle City calls upon these same six Heroes once again. However– for tragic reasons, only five of them are available.
Faced with the reality that admitting to the king why one person isn't there would be too difficult, the Heroes approach May, a young girl who is just starting her first job to raise money for school, for help. Soon, she's whisked away with them to battle Dragons, inner demons, and the occasionally pushy suitor on a journey to vanquish Evil and save the world.
And maybe she'll score some sweet kisses as well.
April was a Fool is Dragonfly Studios' (Castle Chase, Punch Bears,Halloween Flop) newest game. Made in RenPy over the course of three months, this Visual Novel game has 5 routes to choose from and 11 endings to see. Determining May's fate is as easy as deciding where you want to go - but what happens when you finally get there depends on how close you forge your bonds.
More information about the game and characters can be found here, and a small list of warnings can be found here. (there's slight spoilers on that list)
Thank you for reading! If you play the game, we hope you enjoy it!
Artist and author for the indie game team Dragonfly Studios.

There is a proven protocol that heals MRSA. Two five minute applications one hour apart
of chlorine dioxide gas. If you use a glass container ,you can actually see it fall into pieces as it heals. The medical profession fails to accept this finding. One can only guess as to why.
REDUCE MRSA: From Novel Idea to 74,000 PatientsPosted on by
Author – John Jernigan, MD, MS
Director of CDC's Office of Prevention Research and Evaluation and head of CDC's Prevention Epicenters Program.
I am excited to announce the results of the REDUCE MRSA study which evaluated three current strategies for preventing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (or MRSA) among adult critical care patients. This study – one of the largest to date on this subject, including over 74,000 patients — was recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The study shows that using antimicrobial soap and ointment on all intensive-care unit (ICU) patients can reduce bloodstream infections caused by MRSA and other germs by 44 percent.
The study is important for several reasons. First, it answers questions about control of antimicrobial resistant organisms and other healthcare-associated infections, and offers a promising new approach to protecting patients and saving lives. The study is also important because it demonstrates how creating the right partnerships can help us advance the science of patient safety. This study was made possible through a unique collaborative partnership having its roots in the CDC Prevention Epicenters Program, a group of CDC-funded researchers who work together with CDC scientists to explore novel approaches to save patients from healthcare-associated infections. Early research from these investigators and others conducted on a very small scale in single hospitals suggested that reducing germs on patient's skin by bathing with a skin antiseptic would decrease transmission of pathogens and potentially prevent infections. To build on these results and to fill gaps in our knowledge about how best to prevent MRSA infection, CDC continued to partner with its Prevention Epicenter investigators, led by University of California, Irvine, and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute, to design the REDUCE MRSA trial. We couldn't do it alone, however. The study design required us to partner with a large hospital network that was willing work with us to incorporate scientific method into the everyday delivery of care, essentially becoming a learning healthcare system, and Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) accepted the invitation to participate. Subsequently, we approached the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to provide funds for the study, and our partnership was complete.
The result is a major advance in science, good news for patients, and potentially a model for how to advance the science of patient safety even further. Taking a novel hypothesis about how to better protect patients, and moving it along a path that began with small scale tests in a single hospital units and led all the way to the bedside of 74,000 patients was a challenging task. But identifying a novel approach that can reduce bloodstream infections by 44 percent illustrates the journey was well worth it.
The CDC Prevention Epicenters Program continues to work with its partners to move new hypotheses down new paths towards the goal of making patients safer.

There have been concerns expressed among our ID physicians and others about Mupirocin resistance, and whether we are "setting ourselves up" for increasing resistance should the decolonization of ICU patients be adopted on a widespread basis. Please respond to that concern.
Hello! I send you my thanks for your great contribution to the science, for all your help that you provide worldwide,and special thanks to to all employees of your medical organization CDC for your invaluable contribution, you for your concern! I would very much like to you to be with us and in Ukraine! Regards Max! city of Chernigov, Ukraine
Environmental contamination of S. aureus as well as Listeria monocytogenes has been a problem with food processing plants for many years. Yes, good GMP controls for handwashing are essential, but we have also found that environmental controls to reduce the niche areas in the facility are important as well. Have used Lactobacillus saki and acidopholus for the elimination of these niche areas in the facility. Yes cleaning is essential, but having the correct microflora in the building assists in these areas especially in areas where the niche exists.
Very helpful article and research, keep it up guys as we use the research in clean room food environments!

Original iPhone Stand Made Of Pencils and Rubber Bands
It had been a while since we had seen an original DIY accessory. I found this one at Geeky Gadget via Life Hacker. Fatgadget shows us how he made a pretty ingenious iPhone stand from rubber bands and pencils.
iPhone External Keyboard
This is an interesting concept developed by Ralf Ackermann…
An external iphone / ipod touch keyboard – using a more "mainstream approach". The keyboard (it's a standard Freedom Universal Keyboard) uses the Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port) profile to talk with a Robotech Bluetooth module ( www.tigal.com/product.asp?pid=1124 ). This module is placed in a modified iphone battery sleeve and connected to the iphone serial port. The jailbroken iphone runs veency (a VNC server) and a tiny libvncclient based VNC client for keyboard event injection to whatever application you use.
All schematics and source code to appear on www.ubiqkom.org soon.

DIY Cardboard iPhone Dock
In the iPhone DIY category, we can now add the DIY iPhone dock made out of cardboard. The guys over at Geeky Gadgets posted complete instructions on how to make your own cardboard dock by downloading a template and following the simple directions. Definitely not as classy looking as the DIY iPhone speakers, but there is potential…
Let us know if you have made your own accessories for your iPhone and we will feature them on the blog.
DIY iPhone Speakers
These speakers could have easily been designed by MacGyver but it's designer Dmitry Zagga who came out with this brilliant, yet simple idea. Made out of 2 cups, 2 toothpicks and a set of earplugs, these DIY iPhone speakers won't compete with your real speakers but it will certainly increase the volume of your earbuds; the sound being magnified due to the shape of the cup.

DIY iPhone Landscape Stand
Inspired by Nathan Barry's iPhone alarm clock stand, gbzphoto decided to create his own DIY alarm clock stand. The result is pretty amazing. gbzphoto has more images on his Flickr account.
DIY iPhone Alarm Clock Stand
In the DIY series, we had the paperclip iPhone stand, the iPhone binder clip dock, and now we have the iPhone alarm clock stand. Nathan Barry, the creator of this cheap alternative to an iPhone stand, used the plastic packaging that the iPhone 3G came in and used a sharp carving knife to craft it. Nathan says:
I'd been after a nice looking digital clock for the bedroom for ages, so I was pleased with the 'Digital Clock' app from the iPhone App Store. It's quite customizable (colour, brightness and digit style) and auto-rotates. Only problem is you have to leave it on all night – which used to drain the battery almost flat, until I discovered the 'Airplane Mode'!
You can see his pictures on Flickr, here and here.
DIY iPhone Binder Clip Dock
If you liked what I posted earlier this week on how to make an iPhone stand with a paperclip, you will appreciate this video found on Make on how to make an iPhone dock, using binder clips. It doesn't look really easy to do but the result is pretty good. If you try this at home, please send us pictures!
DIY paperclip iPhone stand
How smart is this guy? While some of us would spend $50 in an iPhone or iPod Touch stand, our friends Dean and Ying created their own for just about $0.01. How? Simply by using a paperclip. That has to be the cheapest iPhone accessory you can find. The guys were kind enough to also provide you with a PDF template to make your own. Check them out!

lguest Learns PCI
2 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
With the 1.0 virtio standard finalized by the committee (though minor non-material corrections and clarifications are still trickling in), Michael Tsirkin did the heavy lifting of writing the Linux drivers (based partly on an early prototype of mine).
But I wanted an independent implementation to test: both because OASIS insists on multiple implementations before standard ratification, but also because I wanted to make sure the code which is about to go into the merge window works well.
Thus, I began the task of making lguest understand PCI. Fortunately, the osdev wiki has an excellent introduction on how to talk PCI on an x86 machine. It didn't take me too long to get a successful PCI bus scan from the guest, and start about implementing the virtio parts.
The final part (over which I procrastinated for a week) was to step through the spec and document all the requirements in the lguest comments. I also added checks that the guest driver was behaving sufficiently, but now it's finally done.
It also resulted in a few minor patches, and some clarification patches for the spec. No red flags, however, so I'm reasonably confident that 3.20 will have compliant 1.0 virtio support!
POLLOUT doesn't mean write(2) won't block: Part II
5 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
My previous discovery that poll() indicating an fd was writable didn't mean write() wouldn't block lead to some interesting discussion on Google+.
It became clear that there is much confusion over read and write; eg. Linus thought read() was like write() whereas I thought (prior to my last post) that write() was like read(). Both wrong…
Both Linux and v6 UNIX always returned from read() once data was available (v6 didn't have sockets, but they had pipes). POSIX even suggests this:
The value returned may be less than nbyte if the number of bytes left in the file is less than nbyte, if the read() request was interrupted by a signal, or if the file is a pipe or FIFO or special file and has fewer than nbyte bytes immediately available for reading.
But write() is different. Presumably so simple UNIX filters didn't have to check the return and loop (they'd just die with EPIPE anyway), write() tries hard to write all the data before returning. And that leads to a simple rule. Quoting Linus:
Sure, you can try to play games by knowing socket buffer sizes and look at pending buffers with SIOCOUTQ etc, and say "ok, I can probably do a write of size X without blocking" even on a blocking file descriptor, but it's hacky, fragile and wrong.
I'm travelling, so I built an Ubuntu-compatible kernel with a printk() into select() and poll() to see who else was making this mistake on my laptop:
cups-browsed: (1262): fd 5 poll() for write without nonblock cups-browsed: (1262): fd 6 poll() for write without nonblock Xorg: (1377): fd 1 select() for write without nonblock Xorg: (1377): fd 3 select() for write without nonblock Xorg: (1377): fd 11 select() for write without nonblock
This first one is actually OK; fd 5 is an eventfd (which should never block). But the rest seem to be sockets, and thus probably bugs.
What's worse, are the Linux select() man page:
A file descriptor is considered ready if it is possible to perform the corresponding I/O operation (e.g., read(2)) without blocking.
... those in writefds will be watched to see if a write will not block...
And poll():
POLLOUT Writing now will not block.
Man page patches have been submitted…
ccan/io: revisited
0 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
There are numerous C async I/O libraries; tevent being the one I'm most familiar with. Yet, tevent has a very wide API, and programs using it inevitably descend into "callback hell". So I wrote ccan/io.
The idea is that each I/O callback returns a "struct io_plan" which says what I/O to do next, and what callback to call. Examples are "io_read(buf, len, next, next_arg)" to read a fixed number of bytes, and "io_read_partial(buf, lenp, next, next_arg)" to perform a single read. You could also write your own, such as pettycoin's "io_read_packet()" which read a length then allocated and read in the rest of the packet.
This should enable a convenient debug mode: you turn each io_read() etc. into synchronous operations and now you have a nice callchain showing what happened to a file descriptor. In practice, however, debug was painful to use and a frequent source of bugs inside ccan/io, so I never used it for debugging.
And I became less happy when I used it in anger for pettycoin, but at some point you've got to stop procrastinating and start producing code, so I left it alone.
Now I've revisited it. 820 insertions(+), 1042 deletions(-) and the code is significantly less hairy, and the API a little simpler. In particular, writing the normal "read-then-write" loops is still very nice, while doing full duplex I/O is possible, but more complex. Let's see if I'm still happy once I've merged it into pettycoin…
Pettycoin Alpha01 Tagged

As all software, it took longer than I expected, but today I tagged the first version of pettycoin. Now, lots more polish and features, but at least there's something more than the git repo for others to look at!
API Bug of the Week: getsockname().
3 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
A "non-blocking" IPv6 connect() call was in fact, blocking. Tracking that down made me realize the IPv6 address was mostly random garbage, which was caused by this function:
bool get_fd_addr(int fd, struct protocol_net_address *addr) { union { struct sockaddr sa; struct sockaddr_in in; struct sockaddr_in6 in6; } u; socklen_t len = sizeof(len);
if (getsockname(fd, &u.sa, &len) != 0) return false; ... }
The bug: "sizeof(len)" should be "sizeof(u)". But when presented with a too-short length, getsockname() truncates, and otherwise "succeeds"; you have to check the resulting len value to see what you should have passed.
Obviously an error return would be better here, but the writable len arg is pretty useless: I don't know of any callers who check the length return and do anything useful with it. Provide getsocklen() for those who do care, and have getsockname() take a size_t as its third arg.
Oh, and the blocking? That was because I was calling "fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, …)" instead of "F_SETFL"!
Alternate Blog for my Pettycoin Work
2 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
I decided to use github for pettycoin, and tested out their blogging integration (summary: it's not very integrated, but once set up, Jekyll is nice). I'm keeping a blow-by-blow development blog over there.
Rusty Goes on Sabbatical, June to December
At linux.conf.au I spoke about my pre-alpha implementation of Pettycoin, but progress since then has been slow. That's partially due to yak shaving (like rewriting ccan/io library), partially reimplementation of parts I didn't like, and partially due to the birth of my son, but mainly because I have a day job which involves working on Power 8 KVM issues for IBM. So Alex convinced me to take 6 months off from the day job, and work 4 days a week on pettycoin.
I'm going to be blogging my progress, so expect several updates a week. The first few alpha releases will be useless for doing any actual transactions, but by the first beta the major pieces should be in place…
Donation to Jupiter Broadcasting
0 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
Chris Fisher's Jupiter Broadcasting pod/vodcasting started 8 years ago with the Linux Action Show: still their flagship show, and how I discovered them 3 years ago. Shows like this give access to FOSS to those outside the LWN-reading crowd; community building can be a thankless task, and as a small shop Chris has had ups and downs along the way. After listening to them for a few years, I feel a weird bond with this bunch of people I've never met.
I regularly listen to Techsnap for security news, Scibyte for science with my daughter, and Unfilter to get an insight into the NSA and what the US looks like from the inside. I bugged Chris a while back to accept bitcoin donations, and when they did I subscribed to Unfilter for a year at 2 BTC. To congratulate them on reaching the 100th Unfilter episode, I repeated that donation.
They've started doing new and ambitious things, like Linux HOWTO, so I know they'll put the funds to good use!
Effects of packet/data sizes on various networks
4 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
I was thinking about peer-to-peer networking (in the context of Pettycoin, of course) and I wondered if sending ~1420 bytes of data is really any slower than sending 1 byte on real networks. Similarly, is it worth going to extremes to avoid crossing over into two TCP packets?
So I wrote a simple Linux TCP ping pong client and server: the client connects to the server then loops: reads until it gets a '1' byte, then it responds with a single byte ack. The server sends data ending in a 1 byte, then reads the response byte, printing out how long it took. First 1 byte of data, then 101 bytes, all the way to 9901 bytes. It does this 20 times, then closes the socket.
Here are the results on various networks (or download the source and result files for your own analysis):
On Our Gigabit Lan
Interestingly, we do win for tiny packets, but there's no real penalty once we're over a packet (until we get to three packets worth):
On Our Wireless Lan
Here we do see a significant decline as we enter the second packet, though extra bytes in the first packet aren't completely free:
Via ADSL2 Over The Internet (Same Country)
Ignoring the occasional congestion from other uses of my home net connection, we see a big jump after the first packet, then another as we go from 3 to 4 packets:
Via ADSL2 Over The Internet (Australia <-> USA)
Here, packet size is completely lost in the noise; the carrier pidgins don't even notice the extra weight:
Via 3G Cellular Network (HSPA)
I initially did this with Wifi tethering, but the results were weird enough that Joel wrote a little Java wrapper so I could run the test natively on the phone. It didn't change the resulting pattern much, but I don't know if this regularity of delay is a 3G or an Android thing. Here every packet costs, but you don't win a prize for having a short packet:
Via 2G Network (EDGE)
This one actually gives you a penalty for short packets! 800 bytes to 2100 bytes is the sweet-spot:
So if you're going to send one byte, what's the penalty for sending more? Eyeballing the minimum times from the graphs above:
|Wired LAN
|Penalty for filling packet
|Penalty for second packet
|Penalty for fourth packet
* Average for EDGE actually improves by about 35% if you fill packet
BTC->BPAY gateway (for Australians)
0 Comments | Posted by rusty in Technical
I tested out livingroomofsatoshi.com, which lets you pay any BPAY bill (see explanation from reddit). Since I'd never heard of the developer, I wasn't going to send anything large through it, but it worked flawlessly. At least the exposure is limited to the time between sending the BTC and seeing the BPAY receipt. Exchange rate was fair, and it was a simple process.
Now I need to convince my wife we should buy some BTC for paying bills…

Super 11: Zedrick Woods
Published: Tuesday, August 26, 2014 at 6:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 25, 2014 at 5:52 p.m.
Columbia, LB, 6-foot, 200 lbs.
COLLEGES OF INTEREST: Literally one month after receiving an offer from Ole Miss in June, Woods committed to the Rebels on July 11. To which, former teammate and fellow Rebel Laremy Tunsil, a sophomore offensive tackle who has been named to the watch list for the Outland Trophy, tweeted: "Welcome to the Famly." The Tiger senior also had offers from UCF, East Carolina and Iowa State.
NOTABLE: A three-star prospect by ESPN, Scout, Rivals and 247 recruiting services, Woods, the younger brother of former Columbia player Felix Woods (Weber State) and fellow senior Zyeric Woods, was first team all-area his junior season. In no game did he shine more than in Tallahassee when the Tigers upset Class 7A No. 4 Lincoln, 28-14. In that game, the linebacker had four of the team's 10 sacks. He had double figures in tackles in five of the 10 games he played in 2013, with 15 and 14 in wins over Middleburg and Gainesville, respectively. He finished with 94 with 14 for loss (four against the Hurricanes) and 7.5 sacks on the season.
QUOTABLE: "He's a disruptive defender who has a nose for the football and runs well." — Gainesville coach Mark Latsko, whose team opens the season against Woods and Columbia on Thursday at Citizens Field
— Larry Savage

Public gardens add to a community's overall appeal and offer a quiet haven for residents.
Franklin has numerous public parks and several pockets of horticultural aesthetics, such as the pocket park at Main and Graham streets. Now a larger area is being planned that will develop an area adjoining Province Park into a more formal garden space.
The garden is being built on South Main Street south of Richard's Brick Oven Pizza and includes a new public parking lot, wrought iron gate, labyrinth, Zen garden and art. Meg Jones and her husband, Richard Goss, who own the land and the restaurant next door, will spend about $200,000 in total to build it.
The Franklin Development Corp., an organization that was created and funded by the city with tax dollars, is giving the couple $90,000 to help pay for the garden. Board members also are helping keep the project on schedule by removing a requirement that the property be given to the city after construction.
The development agency previously required that the garden be given to the parks department in order to get the $90,000. But park board members had concerns about taking ownership because they weren't sure Jones would be able to complete the project as planned for $200,000, parks director Chip Orner said. The plan also did not include additional lighting, which Orner wanted for security reasons, or a handicap-accessible ramp from the garden to Province Park.
Park officials said the idea is great. They said they are confident Jones, who does landscaping for the parks department, will make the garden beautiful. Orner said he could picture the garden becoming a popular outdoor wedding venue in the city or being used to host small gatherings for businesses and other groups. But he added park board members want to be able to look at a completed product, not conceptual drawings, before agreeing to take ownership.
"It would be awesome for the community, would clean up that area, be adjacent to the park and be beautiful," Orner said. "They would love to have her do it and then take it."
Development corporation board members required the garden be given to the city because of concerns about what would happen if the couple sold the property or didn't want to maintain it any more. But new board members, who were appointed after the group reorganized last year, said they don't have a problem with the couple owning it in the short term as long as the park board would agree to take it in the future.
Orner said he thinks park board members would agree to owning it in the future after Jones completed the project, so they could have a better idea what additional features the city might need to add or maintain.
Although the garden technically will be on private property, Jones said it will be open and available to the public.
The garden is a unique addition to the city. But the park board is taking a wise course in making sure the parks department can properly and effectively manage it before taking possession. That way the long-term survival of this cultural addition can be better ensured.

Report: Tulsa Shock to hire former Atlanta Dream coach
The Tulsa World is reporting that Fred Williams, former Atlanta Dream coach who led the team to the WNBA Finals last year, will be named as the new head coach for the Tulsa Shock.
His dismissal in Atlanta was quite a surprise, especially after all the strides he made with the team and his working relationship with All-Star Angel McCoughtry, who reportedly had a power struggle with Williams' predecessor, Marynell Meadors. The Dream started the season with the best record in the league, but they were later swept by the Minnesota Lynx in the WNBA Finals.
