Driving in construction assignments often means that you drive alternately in a gravel pit and on public roads. On the public roads it can get tricky when cooperating with all the fellow road users. And the gravel pit has its own challenges. So let's get some help from the driver support systems.
In certain situations, such as turning or driving downhill on a slippery road, the trailer risks catching up with the truck, creating a hazardous jack-knife effect. The Stretch Brake is a new Volvo feature, designed to stop that from happening. By pulse braking the trailer, the vehicle combination is stretched, and the danger reduced. The system can be automatically activated in risky situations, at speeds up to 50 km/h. Stretch Brake is now available for rigid trucks as well as tractors.
Driver Alert Support is an intelligent system that tracks your driving behaviour. If it differs from normal and indicates tiredness, you are alerted by a signal and a message in the display, advising you to take a break.
If you slam on the brakes, the brake lights flash rapidly to alert the vehicles behind you. An easy way of avoiding rear-end collisions, which can lead to major pile-ups and cause fatal injuries.
Follow the traffic rhythm without effort. The radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) keeps a safe distance to the vehicle in front by controlling the accelerator and all available brakes. If there's a risk of collision, warning lights are projected on the windscreen..
The blind-spot area on the passenger side can easily hide other road users. Lane Changing Support is equipped with a radar that checks this area when you activate the turn signal. If the area's not clear, you are notified by a sound and a flashing icon by the mirror.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) applies the brakes individually on each wheel. This provides stability for the entire vehicle combination, thus counteracting jack-knifing, roll over and trailer swing. ESP is available for both tractors and rigids.

I've been wanting to read Dorothy B. Hughes noir novel IN A LONELY PLACE (1947) since I first saw it mentioned earlier this year and I can't remember where. IN A LONELY PLACE is dark, atmospheric read that's a cross between psychological suspense and hardboiled noir. It's set in post-WWII California and tells the story of an elusive serial killer. The story opens with: "It was good standing there on the promontory overlooking the evening sea, the fog lifting itself like gauzy veils to touch his face."
And so the terror begins or continues. Set in 1940's California, several women have been found murdered in and around the area of Santa Monica. The police have no clues, leads or suspects. The pattern and manner of death is the same. The story opens with the killer, under the cover of murky darkness, following his victim as she departs from her bus after working the late shift. And so it goes…
Dickson "Dix" Steele arrives in Santa Monica and re-establishes his friendship with his old college friend, Brub Nicolai. Both men enlisted with the Air Corps overseas and haven't seen each other in two years. Brub is now a police officer with the Beverly Hills Homicide department and married to Sylvia while Dix is a drifter and said to be "restless." As Brub investigates the murders, he unwittingly finds himself playing the game of "the hunter and the hunted."
Much of the story's focus isn't really on the murders which was sort of surprising and refreshing. Dorothy B. Hughes decided to focus on the mindset of a man beset with demons. She really gets inside the psyche of what drives someone to kill. Exploring the underlying emotions of fear, love, abandonment and loneliness. On the extreme end: rage and hatred. There's mention of class, money and status.
Dix is completely shocked to find his old friend is a police officer now. Reconnecting with an "old friend" is risky but he thinks he can handle it and finds it all a game. Dix makes a lot of risky moves but he's good at rationalizing his actions.
The tone is dark with descriptions of fog meaning different things like obscurity or confusion. There's plenty more word play with the use of light and dark. Evil vs. good is somewhat implied. As for the murder investigation, the suspect is a man with an internal rage against women. Much of it stems from the past and the origin of that rage stems from a past relationship that somehow transforms into one of revenge. The suspect is someone who wears a mask in order for him to fit in and be normal. But does his act really fool anybody? We only have one pov in here which only serves to create uncertainty and some well placed tension.
Unlike other mysteries, the killer's identity isn't a secret. Suspicion was pointedly centered. The tension and suspense lie with how the suspect will be caught if at all. Much of the violence is implied. This story is psychological because the killer is playing the game of who will catch me as he takes calculated risks. He prides himself on hiding in plain sight and being "ordinary. " He sees himself as invisible while other people, his best friend's wife, Sylvia, seem to see right through him and that bothers him a great deal.
I enjoyed this story and can say that it has held up well. The pace is purposely slow but not too slow. The author took the time to create a sinister feel and tone. I found myself looking forward to details of the investigation and curious to know how this would all play out. The supporting characters were fleshed out well enough for the story's purpose. Criticism: I thought the introspection was overly long in some sections of the story.
The serial killer story continues to be a well-worn trope in the mystery genre. Too many novels featuring this trope lack substance. IN A LONELY PLACE is a cut above the rest in how the premise didn't concentrate on violent acts. The author focused on the killer's deception in society and how it took a couple of smart women to catch him.
The narrative is told in third person. The length of the novel is 250 printed pages. This was a good story and I'm glad I read it. As for the 1950 film starring Humphrey Bogart as Dix Steele, it seems to be more popular than the book. Haven't seen the movie but I'm told it's much different from the book.

I installed the product which works very fast. Afterwards I was asked to download an update. Then I have used the software several times.
First I was disappointed that you cannot copy any protected DVD. But then I asked google for the dll which is obviously missing.
Now I can copy my movies to any devices. Great job. I like the feature of burning music CDs from youtube clips. I work with Windows 7.

One of the questions we get asked a lot (via Facebook posts, consultation e-mails, and blog article comments), is "When can I wean my baby from nighttime feedings?" Understandably, most parents are eager to get back to enjoying nights of peaceful, uninterrupted sleep, but still want to make sure their baby isn't going hungry.
Of course, there is no fixed schedule for night weaning; every baby is different, so every baby will be ready to wean from night feedings at different points. As we have shared in a previous post, even expert pediatricians disagree on exactly when babies are physically ready to go all night without eating.
This is one reason why we created our night weaning quiz, Is Your Baby Ready For Night Weaning? If you haven't taken it before, why don't you take it today – at only 5 questions, it's quick, and it will give you great insights into whether to not night weaning is right for your baby at this time.
Night Weaning: Baby Night Feedings By Age
While there isn't a "magical age" at which every baby is ready for night weaning, there are some general guidelines for night feedings that seem to work for most babies:
• Newborns to 3 months old: Feedings every 2-3 hours, on demand
• 3-4 Months: 2-3 feedings per night or every 3-6 hours, on demand
• 5-6 Months: 1-2 night feedings
• 7-9 Months: 1, maybe 2, night feedings
• 10-12 Months: Sometimes 1 night feeding
• 12+ Months: Generally no feedings
Of course, growth spurts, illnesses, and teething will be factors to consider; during those times, your baby may need a night feeding, even though she would not need one under normal circumstances.
Nicole's Note:
"In our experience, formula fed babies do tend to night-wean sooner than breastfed babies. Breast milk is digested faster than formula and is more concentrated, so baby tends not to eat as much volume of breast milk during the day. We tend to see most formula-fed babies night-wean around 6 months old. Of course, all babies are different and you know your baby best."
3 Signs Your Baby is Ready For Night Weaning
Those guidelines are helpful, but how will you know when your baby is ready to night wean? Be on the lookout for these signs; they could be indications that your baby is ready to drop nighttime feedings:
- Your baby is not eating as much during the day. If you find that your baby is not eating as much as usual during daylight hours, but is still waking to eat one or more times during the night, that's a good indication that it may be time to drop (or at least reduce) nighttime feedings. Encourage your baby to eat more during the day; if he can get most/all of his calories in during the day, he'll be ready to wean away from eating at night.
- Your baby is not eating much at night, and treats nighttime feeds as play time. You may start to notice that even though your baby wakes at night and cries for you, she isn't very hungry. She might nurse a little, or drink a little of her bottle, and then be wide awake and wanting to 'play'. In these cases, your baby is likely waking out of habit (or due to her sleep associations), and not out of hunger. This may be a sign that her nighttime feedings are not really necessary anymore, and that she is ready to drop them.
- Your baby has started solid foods (at the appropriate time!) Disclaimer: there is a right time and a wrong time to start your baby on solid foods. For details on when to start your baby on solids, check out this post. Once your baby has started eating solid foods, it won't be too long before he's ready to wean from nighttime feeds. Your baby may continue to need one (or possibly two) night feeds after he starts solid food, but after a few months, you should be able to gradually wean him from nighttime eating. (Of course, if you are breastfeeding, you'll need to make sure you can maintain a good milk supply once you drop nighttime nursing. For details about how to measure your breastmilk supply, check out this page.
*BONUS TIP* There is a wide variance in your baby's nighttime feeding. This one can be trickier to diagnose. But if you notice a lot of variation in when your baby wakes for night feedings, that can be a sign it is time to night wean. For instance, if your baby wakes at 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. to eat one day, then wakes at 3 a.m. the next day, then wakes at 10:30 p.m. and not again until morning on the third day, that variance may mean it is time to start the night weaning process.
Keep in mind that none of these signs on their own mean that your baby is ready to night wean. For example, a 3 month old baby may have a few nights when there are big variances in the timing of her night feedings, but that certainly does not mean she's ready to stop eating at night! However, if you see two or three of these signs together, that is a good indication that you can begin the night weaning process. When doing consultations, we look at a variety of factors when giving our professional opinion about whether it's "time" or not.
Still not sure whether your baby is ready for night weaning? In general, Nicole recommends an attempt at night weaning around 8 or 9 months, due to what she calls a "chicken-and-egg" problem that some families face around this time:
A baby needs a certain amount of sustenance during the day and if he gets some at night, he won't eat more during the day and if he doesn't eat more during the day, he needs it at night. So, sometimes, a baby really does feel hungry at night, but it doesn't mean he can't go all night without a feeding, it simply means he needs to adjust how much he's eating during the day. The idea is to gently help him do this.

Book Reviews
1895, and liked it. In the latter year she left Texas for Paradise;
perhaps her spirit is among those whom, as an old story has it, St.
Peter had to chain within the pearly gates to prevent their re-
turn to Texas.
Another major section of the book which will interest Texans
contains letters from various settlers at Four Mile Prairie, a
Norwegian settlement southwest of Dallas. In all, the book con-
tains approximately fifty pages devoted to Texas and perhaps a
dozen additional scattered references. Only the more avid col-
lectors will want to add the book to their Texas collections, but
they will be well rewarded. It is worth noting that Dr. Blegen
promises (page 322): "Ultimately a separate volume recording
the full texts of the Waerenskjold letters and articles will be

A Sketch of Sam Bass, the Bandit. By Charles Lee Martin. New
edition with an introduction by Ramon F. Adams. Norman
(University of Oklahoma Press), 1956. Pp. xxiii+x66. Illus-
trations by Stephen Seymour Thomas. $2.oo.
In the summer of 1878 the name of Sam Bass was on almost
every Texas tongue. The Denton County cowboy who turned
brigand had held up four North Texas trains in the spring, and
a special company of Texas Rangers led by Captain June Peak
of Dallas had taken his trail. The chase led through the hills and
hollows of several counties and brought the killing of one of the
Bass band. But Sam himself remained free until one of his men
betrayed him. He was wounded in a battle with Rangers and
local officers at Round Rock on July 19 and died there two days
later, on his twenty-seventh birthday.
Since he was not a killer, since the railroads he robbed were
unpopular because of their high freight rates, and since Texans
had no use for a traitor, Bass quickly became a legendary hero.
Cowboys on night guard with trail herds crooned to the Long-
horns the song about Sam and his Denton mare, and many stories
were told of the gold he was said to have buried. Three anony-
mous paperback biographies of Bass appeared within two years
of his death.

Is That a Witcher 3 Message in The Cyberpunk 2077 Teaser?
Written Friday, January 11, 2013 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
At the 2:14 mark in CD Projekt RED's rather marvellous Cyberpunk 2077 CG teaser trailer, eagle-eyed viewers spotted a little something that flashed up and disappeared seemingly in the space of a nanosecond. It was a secret message from the Polish developer revealing that Cyberpunk 2077 is likely to arrive in 2015, effectively confirming it's a next-gen project, as well as another enticing nugget of information.
It appears that The Witcher 3 could be CD Projekt RED's other big project, with an imminent announcement possibly emerging on February 5th, 2013, as revealed in the secret message, brought to our attention in the comments on our coverage of the Cyberpunk 2077 teaser by Vindicator51.
"We are about to reveal our other project which is much closer to being completed, and it will also be a fully open world game with an intense story," the message reads. "You can probably guess the game we're talking about. On the 5th February, it will be all clear."
It's clearly The Witcher 3, right folks? "...stay tuned as we have quite a lot to show and tell you soon!" February 5th it is then.

Nate Silver: Democrats Favored to Pick Up Snowe Seat
Nate Silver of the New York Times' FiveThirtyEight blog writes:
"The retirement of Senator Olympia J. Snowe of Maine is about as damaging to a party's electoral prospects as these things get, turning a seat that Republicans were very likely to retain into one they will probably lose."
The wind is most certainly in our sails, […]
The GOP's War on Women
Don't like what the Republicans are doing? Send a Democratic woman to the Senate. Send them all.
Check out this new video:
Support women like Tammy Baldwin, Shelley Berkley, Maria Cantwell, Dianne Feinstein, Kirsten Gillibrand, Heidi Heitkamp, Mazie Hirono, Amy Klobuchar, Clarie McCaskill, and Elizabeth Warren to protect our Demoratic Majority in the Senate. Contribute now.
Blunt-Brown Amendment: Any Employer Can Refuse to Cover Any Health Service
Today, Scott Brown and Senate Republicans continue their #GOPCultureWar with the Blunt-Brown Amendment, which is expected to be voted on around noon.
This extreme bill not only serves as a Trojan horse to block access to women's health care, it also shifts power over all coverage for ANY medical treatments to one's employer – religiously-affiliated or […]
ABC News: Women will be key for Senate Democrats
With the retirement of Olympia Snowe (R-ME), all 6 women up for re-election in the Senate this year are Democrats.

Fellow Republican calls Connie "the Charlie Sheen of Florida politics"
George Lemieux, another Republican running for Senate in Florida, summed up Connie's mounting personal record of liens, lawsuits, bar fights and road rage incidents by calling him "the Charlie Sheen of Florida politics" Wednesday.

Dick Lugar: Swiping the taxpayer credit card for his suite lifestyle
Earlier this month, Indiana's Dick Lugar revealed that he stays in hotels on his occasional visits to the state he represents and sends taxpayers the bill. As it turns out, this Indiana Senator doesn't live in Indiana.

Connie's Reality Star Lifestyle: Real House Member of Lee County
Out-of-control debt, property liens, habitual over-spending, messy divorce drama, road rage and bar fights all blemish Connie Mack's record. This Republican candidate for Senate in Florida has enough baggage to be mistaken with a candidate for the next hit reality TV show.
As the Miami Herald reports, the fiscal conservative who brought us "The Penny […]

Rather not.
Big Ben didn't go to jail because he's a skilled ****** who knows how to destroy/cover-up DNA evidence. Good thing he's not in jail, otherwise the Steeler's season would be over by now.
Not a fan of their creepy criminal quarterback.
Oops...Ravens hit the self distruct button.
As a skins fan I have no horse in this race - just hope for some good games. Althought it would be amusing to hear all the wailing from Bronco's fans out here should Cutler lead the Bears to the Super Bowl.
Don't bet on it. The bears have been pretenders all season. They're about to meet reality.
Steelers have annoying fans.
It'll depend on the weather. The Bears should pray for snow. Lots of it. The real Super Bowl is this Sunday.
How can you not pull for a knucklehead like Rex Ryan? Go J E T S!
(I normally route against them, being from Buffalo, but seriously, I think Rex is da bomb. To make the "idiotic" claims he does, then follow through and do what he predicted.... he's turning the existing NFL power clique on its ear. Knocking off the Steelers would be the trifecta.)
Just don't mention feet.
Playoff seeding was fixed alright...with the help of the refs in week 1. Meanwhile the Pack was legitimately beating the Eagles and Vick for the first time. BTW, which Cutler is gonna show up this weekend? The Bears got where they are with a ton of luck and bad calls. The Pack got where they are by scraping together wins while enduring tons of injuries to key players through the meat of the season.
I'm looking for the Terrible Towels to meet the Cheeseheads in Dallas. Beyond that, I'm not committing.
Good thing they had homefield for the ****/Murder Bowl. I am hoping that Rex can keep up his yapping for the ****/Loudmouth Bowl.
I almost feel sorry for the Steelers. Bart Scott is hilarious/scary

Great :)
i've been listening to your music for quite some time, it seems that every song you make is an improvement from the last...its rare to find someone that doesn't plateau out and make the same song over and over, every song you develop is fresh new and exciting, and i definately look forward to future contributions :) i only come to newgrounds to listen to your music, and i cross my fingers hoping you have a new one up! Excellent Work!
Thanks subfreakmt! Thats really kind of you to say that I improve with every track. Hopefully I wont plateau out soon! :D
Thanks again!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Wow, awesome song.
I really like it, it's peaceful and moving, makes me think of the ocean for some reason.
Anyway I was wondering if you were still working on a song for me. I know I wasn't able to pay you anything but I'm entering the writing contest for Jan/Feb. Which involves combining a audio song w/ a writer w/ a flash artist. I've already chosen one of your songs for my piece, If I win it'll be in the flash. But if you were to work on mine, if you haven't forgotten about it, I'd probably consider using it instead.
Anyway, again awesome song, may you continue to make epic tracks well into 2011. :D
PM'ed you. :D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Hell Yeah!
This is just Beatyfull :D
Thank 4 posting and keep up the damn nice work!

Greenspan Testimony Shows Readiness to Raise Interest Rates If Data Too Strong, Economists Say
Dunaief, Daniel, American Banker
Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan's Humphrey-Hawkins testimony momentarily calmed investors' rate fears, but a closer review of last week's remarks prompted some economists to predict a rate hike soon.
After Mr. Greenspan's testimony, the benchmark 30-year bond rose almost half a point, pushing down its yield more than three basis points, to 6.97%.
Economists, however, were quick to play down the significance of the bond market's one-day reaction. Some said they anticipate an increase in the federal funds rate at the next Federal Open Market Committee meeting, scheduled for Aug. 20.
Mr. Greenspan's description of inflation was "somewhat hawkish in the sense that he described it as having been low for temporary reasons which could end at any time," said Roseann Cahn, chief economist at CS First Boston.
"In the last two months, the market has been bouncing around a lot day to day, while bonds have been stuck in the 6.9% to 7.2% range," said Mickey Levy, chief economist at NationsBanc Capital Markets, a subsidiary of NationsBank Corp.
"When you stand back from day to day, bonds have been in a holding pattern," he said.
Ms. Cahn said that a tightening on Aug. 20 of 25 basis points - a quarter of one percentage point - has a greater than 50% probability. That could be followed by a 50-basis-point tightening after the election, which would raise the federal funds rate to 6%, from its current level of 5. …

Nurses' prescription for healing our economy
If you want to know just how bad things are for those hit hardest by the Great Recession, ask a nurse: They see more young men suffering heart attacks, more anxiety in children, and more ulcers and stomach illnesses in people of all ages. Financial struggles are forcing more patients to forgo necessary medicines and treatments. A Princeton/Georgia State study reports a 39 percent increase in ER admissions for suicide attempts precipitated by home foreclosures, and a direct correlation between foreclosure rates and increases in emergency-room visits and hospitalization for hypertension, diabetes and anxiety. —Washington Post, 10/04/11 More »

There is a list of basic life skills all parents instinctively know they must teach their children to keep them safe and healthy. It includes habits like looking both ways before you cross the street, washing your hands, eating the right amount of fruits and vegetables every day. Safety in and around the water should be on the list too. May is National Water Safety Month and the Y has programs to engage parents about the importance of water safety skills and provide more children access to water safety and swimming lessons.

Summer break for school-age students is 8 weeks this year in Pinellas County. For many families finding quality care and supervision for their children is more than challenging, it is a financial burden. YMCA's all across the country provide a safe, fun and educational summer for thousands of children each year and thanks to donations they are able to provide that experience regardless of their families ability to pay. Those donations come from individuals and companies all the time and every once in a while they come from someone a little unexpected. This type of unexpected donation arrived at the Greater Palm Harbor YMCA on Tuesday.
The Y is a place where all families can feel welcome and valued in a caring environment. We offer families opportunities to spend quality time together, develop new interests, improve their well-being and connect to the community.
There are an estimated 70.1 million fathers across the U.S. As we prepare to celebrate dads, it is an opportunity to honor the important men in our lives. One way we can do this is by supporting their efforts to make their health a priority.

is that a fact? I'm quite sure most of say Littlebigplanets were DLC related =P
is that a fact? I'm quite sure most of say Littlebigplanets were DLC related =P
120$ a year, isn't that more then xbox?
There is no way this can be true, i mean they are gonna make us pay for cross-game chat there would be major backlash for such a proposal and then the price is way to steep i could see a set price for a full year not a month-to-month plan.. that is crazy.
Yes it is a good idea because this is optional, but not required and those who do not like to buy a movie etc for sony that will not add to their profits.
As long as I don't have to pay to play, i really don't care..
Dude what a bunch of total BS!!! They are going to make me pay for a cloud service and a cross game chat. Stuff like that and more are free on Steam.
And bandwidth is bandwidth whether its being used via a PC or PS3. If steam can give us this and more for free then so can you Sony.... I'm not paying for a service that isn't even going to cost you anything. Its like charging me a month for air, screw that.
...then don't.. it's OPTIONAL, just be grateful you dont have to pay for everything *cough* Xbox Live *cough*
and its not free to host servers, pay for more people, more maintenance work etc.
$10 a month.. they could atleast offer some better services, like more friends on friends list etc also they should bring back different OS's. They could also make a deal with SKY tv like xbox have, I think that would be good and would actuallly make people want to pay this price.
Instead of Sky (because MS now have a contract with them) they should try... Virgin Media?
$10 is pretty high considering the low amount of *things* you get.
10 dollars a month may not be bad for the premium gaming service, usualy sony is pretty good at sweetening the deal (look at Qore they are constantly giving away psn games/early demos/ beta keys)...
After reading through this thread ive heard this sentiment a lot but you got to remember "IF" Sony is going to announce a "premium" content service at E3 why would they leak all of the details and get rid of the shock and awe... i guess my point is all that we hear on this subject is speculation for the moment...
Now "IF" sony dose announce this "Premium Service" then i hope that it will come with a nice feature like inproved cross game clan support/the ability to host private clan servers for current games... (i've played CS for too long im useto playing on private servers with friends and clans)

3.2 Compiling applications and libraries
Compilation is an integral part of application development that requires careful management since every piece of code requires its own set instructions to access dependent components of the OpenFOAM library. In UNIX/Linux systems these instructions are often organised and delivered to the compiler using the standard UNIXmake utility. OpenFOAM, however, is supplied with the wmake compilation script that is based on make but is considerably more versatile and easier to use; wmake can, in fact, be used on any code, not simply the OpenFOAM library. To understand the compilation process, we first need to explain certain aspects of C++ and its file structure, shown schematically in Figure 3.1. A class is defined through a set of instructions such as object construction, data storage and class member functions. The file containing the class definition takes a .C extension, e.g. a class nc would be written in the file nc.C. This file can be compiled independently of other code into a binary executable library file known as a shared object library with the .so file extension, i.e. nc.so. When compiling a piece of code, say newApp.C, that uses the nc class, nc.C need not be recompiled, rather newApp.C calls nc.so at runtime. This is known as dynamic linking.
3.2.1 Header .H files
As a means of checking errors, the piece of code being compiled must know that the classes it uses and the operations they perform actually exist. Therefore each class requires a class declaration, contained in a header file with a .H file extension, e.g. nc.H, that includes the names of the class and its functions. This file is included at the beginning of any piece of code using the class, including the class declaration code itself. Any piece of .C code can resource any number of classes and must begin with all the .H files required to declare these classes. The classes in turn can resource other classes and begin with the relevant .H files. By searching recursively down the class hierarchy we can produce a complete list of header files for all the classes on which the top level .C code ultimately depends; these .H files are known as the dependencies. With a dependency list, a compiler can check whether the source files have been updated since their last compilation and selectively compile only those that need to be.
Header files are included in the code using # include statements, e.g.
causes the compiler to suspend reading from the current file to read the file specified. Any self-contained piece of code can be put into a header file and included at the relevant location in the main code in order to improve code readability. For example, in most OpenFOAM applications the code for creating fields and reading field input data is included in a file createFields.H which is called at the beginning of the code. In this way, header files are not solely used as class declarations. It is wmake that performs the task of maintaining file dependency lists amongst other functions listed below.
- Automatic generation and maintenance of file dependency lists, i.e. lists of files which are included in the source files and hence on which they depend.
- Multi-platform compilation and linkage, handled through appropriate directory structure.
- Multi-language compilation and linkage, e.g. C, C++, Java.
- Multi-option compilation and linkage, e.g. debug, optimised, parallel and profiling.
- Support for source code generation programs, e.g. lex, yacc, IDL, MOC.
- Simple syntax for source file lists.
- Automatic creation of source file lists for new codes.
- Simple handling of multiple shared or static libraries.
- Extensible to new machine types.
- Extremely portable, works on any machine with: make; sh, ksh or csh; lex, cc.
- Has been tested on Apollo, SUN, SGI, HP (HPUX), Compaq (DEC), IBM (AIX), Cray, Ardent, Stardent, PC Linux, PPC Linux, NEC, SX4, Fujitsu VP1000.
3.2.2 Compiling with wmake
OpenFOAM applications are organised using a standard convention that the source code of each application is placed in a directory whose name is that of the application. The top level source file takes the application name with the .C extension. For example, the source code for an application called newApp would reside is a directory newApp and the top level file would be newApp.C as shown in Figure 3.2.
The directory must also contain a Make subdirectory containing 2 files, options and files, that are described in the following sections.
18.104.22.168 Including headers
The compiler searches for the included header files in the following order, specified with the -I option in wmake:
- the $WM_PROJECT_DIR/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude directory;
- a local lnInclude directory, i.e. newApp/lnInclude;
- the local directory, i.e. newApp;
- platform dependent paths set in files in the $WM_PROJECT_DIR/wmake/rules/$WM_ARCH/ directory, e.g. /usr/X11/include and $(MPICH_ARCH_PATH)/include;
- other directories specified explicitly in the Make/options file with the -I option.
The Make/options file contains the full directory paths to locate header files using the syntax:
-I<directoryPath1> \
-I<directoryPath2> \
… \
Notice first that the directory names are preceeded by the -I flag and that the syntax uses the \ to continue the EXE_INC across several lines, with no \ after the final entry.
184.108.40.206 Linking to libraries
The compiler links to shared object library files in the following directory paths, specified with the -L option in wmake:
- the $FOAM_LIBBIN directory;
- platform dependent paths set in files in the $WM_DIR/rules/$WM_ARCH/ directory, e.g. /usr/X11/lib and $(MPICH_ARCH_PATH)/lib;
- other directories specified in the Make/options file.
The actual library files to be linked must be specified using the -l option and removing the lib prefix and .so extension from the library file name, e.g. libnew.so is included with the flag -lnew. By default, wmake loads the following libraries:
- the libOpenFOAM.so library from the $FOAM_LIBBIN directory;
- platform dependent libraries specified in set in files in the $WM_DIR/rules/$WM_ARCH/ directory, e.g. libm.so from /usr/X11/lib and liblam.so from $(LAM_ARCH_PATH)/lib;
- other libraries specified in the Make/options file.
The Make/options file contains the full directory paths and library names using the syntax:
-L<libraryPath1> \
-L<libraryPath2> \
… \
-L<libraryPathN> \
-l<library1> \
-l<library2> \
… \
Let us reiterate that the directory paths are preceeded by the -L flag, the library names are preceeded by the -l flag.
18.104.22.168 Source files to be compiled
The compiler requires a list of .C source files that must be compiled. The list must contain the main .C file but also any other source files that are created for the specific application but are not included in a class library. For example, users may create a new class or some new functionality to an existing class for a particular application. The full list of .C source files must be included in the Make/files file. As might be expected, for many applications the list only includes the name of the main .C file, e.g. newApp.C in the case of our earlier example.
The Make/files file also includes a full path and name of the compiled executable, specified by the EXE = syntax. Standard convention stipulates the name is that of the application, i.e. newApp in our example. The OpenFOAM release offers two useful choices for path: standard release applications are stored in $FOAM_APPBIN; applications developed by the user are stored in $FOAM_USER_APPBIN.
If the user is developing their own applications, we recommend they create an applications subdirectory in their $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR directory containing the source code for personal OpenFOAM applications. As with standard applications, the source code for each OpenFOAM application should be stored within its own directory. The only difference between a user application and one from the standard release is that the Make/files file should specify that the user's executables are written into their $FOAM_USER_APPBIN directory. The Make/files file for our example would appear as follows:
EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/newApp
220.127.116.11 Running wmake
The wmake script is executed by typing:
The <optionalDirectory> is the directory path of the application that is being compiled. Typically, wmake is executed from within the directory of the application being compiled, in which case <optionalDirectory> can be omitted.
If a user wishes to build an application executable, then no <optionalArguments> are required. However <optionalArguments> may be specified for building libraries etc. as described in Table 3.1.
|Type of compilation
|Build a statically-linked library
|Build a dynamically-linked library
|Build a statically-linked object file library
|Build a JAVA archive
|Build an application independent of the specified project
22.214.171.124 wmake environment variables
For information, the environment variable settings used by wmake are listed in Table 3.2.
3.2.3 Removing dependency lists: wclean and rmdepall
On execution, wmake builds a dependency list file with a .dep file extension, e.g. newApp.dep in our example, and a list of files in a Make/$WM_OPTIONS directory. If the user wishes to remove these files, perhaps after making code changes, the user can run the wclean script by typing:
Again, the <optionalDirectory> is a path to the directory of the application that is being compiled. Typically, wclean is executed from within the directory of the application, in which case the path can be omitted.
If a user wishes to remove the dependency files and files from the Make directory, then no <optionalArguments> are required. However if lib is specified in <optionalArguments> a local lnInclude directory will be deleted also.
An additional script, rmdepall removes all dependency .dep files recursively down the directory tree from the point at which it is executed. This can be useful when updating OpenFOAM libraries.
3.2.4 Compilation example: the pisoFoam application
The source code for application pisoFoam is in the $FOAM_APP/solvers/incompressible/pisoFoam directory and the top level source file is named pisoFoam.C. The pisoFoam.C source code is:

The code begins with a brief description of the application contained within comments over 1 line (//) and multiple lines (/*…*/). Following that, the code contains several # include statements, e.g. # include "fvCFD.H", which causes the compiler to suspend reading from the current file, pisoFoam.C to read the fvCFD.H. pisoFoam resources the incompressibleRASModels, incompressibleLESModels and incompressibleTransportModels libraries and therefore requires the necessary header files, specified by the EXE_INC = -I… option, and links to the libraries with the EXE_LIBS = -l… option. The Make/options therefore contains the following:
2 -I$(LIB_SRC)/TurbulenceModels/turbulenceModels/lnInclude \
3 -I$(LIB_SRC)/TurbulenceModels/incompressible/lnInclude \
4 -I$(LIB_SRC)/transportModels \
5 -I$(LIB_SRC)/transportModels/incompressible/singlePhaseTransportModel \
6 -I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude \
7 -I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude \
8 -I$(LIB_SRC)/fvOptions/lnInclude \
9 -I$(LIB_SRC)/sampling/lnInclude
12 -lturbulenceModels \
13 -lincompressibleTurbulenceModels \
14 -lincompressibleTransportModels \
15 -lfiniteVolume \
16 -lmeshTools \
17 -lfvOptions \
18 -lsampling
pisoFoam contains only the pisoFoam.C source and the executable is written to the $FOAM_APPBIN directory as all standard applications are. The Make/files therefore contains:
Following the recommendations of section 188.8.131.52, the user can compile a separate version of pisoFoam into their local $FOAM_USER_DIR directory by the following:
- copying the pisoFoam source code to a local directory, e.g. $FOAM_RUN;cd $FOAM_RUN
cp -r $FOAM_SOLVERS/incompressible/pisoFoam .
cd pisoFoam
- editing the Make/files file as follows;
- executing wmake.wmake
The code should compile and produce a message similar to the following
SOURCE=pisoFoam.C ;
g++ -DFOAM_EXCEPTION -Dlinux -DlinuxGccDPOpt
-DscalarMachine -DoptSolvers -DPARALLEL -DUSEMPI -Wall -O2 -DNoRepository
-ftemplate-depth-17 -I…/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-3.0.0/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude
-lmpich -L/usr/X11/lib -lm
-o … platforms/bin/linuxGccDPOpt/pisoFoam
The user can now try recompiling and will receive a message similar to the following to say that the executable is up to date and compiling is not necessary:
make: `Make/linuxGccDPOpt/dependencies' is up to date.
make: `… platforms/linuxGccDPOpt/bin/pisoFoam'
is up to date.
The user can compile the application from scratch by removing the dependency list with
and running wmake.
3.2.5 Debug messaging and optimisation switches
OpenFOAM provides a system of messaging that is written during runtime, most of which are to help debugging problems encountered during running of a OpenFOAM case. The switches are listed in the $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/controlDict file; should the user wish to change the settings they should make a copy to their $HOME directory, i.e. $HOME/.OpenFOAM/3.0.0/controlDict file. The list of possible switches is extensive and can be viewed by running the foamDebugSwitches application. Most of the switches correspond to a class or range of functionality and can be switched on by their inclusion in the controlDict file, and by being set to 1. For example, OpenFOAM can perform the checking of dimensional units in all calculations by setting the dimensionSet switch to 1. There are some switches that control messaging at a higher level than most, listed in Table 3.3.
In addition, there are some switches that control certain operational and optimisation issues. These switches are also listed in Table 3.3. Of particular importance is fileModificationSkew. OpenFOAM scans the write time of data files to check for modification. When running over a NFS with some disparity in the clock settings on different machines, field data files appear to be modified ahead of time. This can cause a problem if OpenFOAM views the files as newly modified and attempting to re-read this data. The fileModificationSkew keyword is the time in seconds that OpenFOAM will subtract from the file write time when assessing whether the file has been newly modified.
3.2.6 Linking new user-defined libraries to existing applications
The situation may arise that a user creates a new library, say new, and wishes the features within that library to be available across a range of applications. For example, the user may create a new boundary condition, compiled into new, that would need to be recognised by a range of solver applications, pre- and post-processing utilities, mesh tools, etc. Under normal circumstances, the user would need to recompile every application with the new linked to it.
Instead there is a simple mechanism to link one or more shared object libraries dynamically at run-time in OpenFOAM. Simply add the optional keyword entry libs to the controlDict file for a case and enter the full names of the libraries within a list (as quoted string entries). For example, if a user wished to link the libraries new1 and new2 at run-time, they would simply need to add the following to the case controlDict file:

I never know when the idea for a Hartbeat will drop onto my plate. For this Hartbeat, it dropped into a steaming bowl of pho.
On the day after the storm that dumped cement trucks full of snow on our heads, I was on the way to a news conference that would provide an update on the snow emergency in
St. Paul. Having left my lunch in the garage of Hartbeat World Headquarters (now serving as an auxiliary freezer), I stopped at one of the many excellent Asian restaurants on University Avenue in St. Paul. A sub-zero day called for a bowl of hot pho that would give me the foundation to cover a news event held in a public works garage as well as provide reserve energy to operate a camera for the Toys for Tots segment of early newscasts.
As I finished my egg roll and added a spoonful of chili garlic to my massive bowl of pho, I realized that an instrumental version of "We Three Kings" was playing in the restaurant. This mix of Vietnamese food and a traditional Christmas song gave me the idea to share some musical holiday nuggets with you.
It's Christmas time pretty baby and snow is on the ground
At Hartbeat World Headquarters we have a historic Pioneer CD changer loaded with over one hundred holiday CDs. Many genres of music are housed within the plastic walls of this CD player--country, gospel, rap, soul, rhythm and blues, classical, world music, folk, jazz, swing, rock, and even some that don't quite fit into a particular bin.
I enjoy the classic Christmas music. However, I can only hear "Sleigh Ride" and "Winter Wonderland" so many times. A good, original Christmas song goes a long way with the Hartbeat staff, so here are some favorite albums.
One can't go wrong with the 1957 Elvis Christmas Album. This recording has been reissued in different formats which seem to be getting better with additional songs. The King loved Christmas and you can tell he connected with each song during the sessions at Radio Recorders studio in Hollywood. This album has been repackaged several times and it keeps getting better. The traditional songs, "White Christmas" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem" are great, but the real sparkling gems in the snow are "Santa Bring My Baby Back to Me" and "Santa Claus is Back in Town." This recording is a good start for any holiday music collection.
Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news
Los Angeles Bureau Chief, Lloyd McCloud, and I have been exchanging Christmas music favorites via facebook. One collection we agree is a must-have to represent rhythm and blues is Charles Brown's "Cool Christmas Blues." Not to be confused with "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (that has some good songs too), this album by the Texas born, blues singer/pianist contains his big hit, "Please Come Home for Christmas" and "Merry Christmas Baby" as well as nine other songs that make this a definitive blues/jazz/rhythm and blues holiday recording.
Lloyd McCloud, from his sunny California Hartbeat Bureau, recommends Aretha Franklin - "This Christmas," Ledisi - "It's Christmas," Will Dowing - "Christmas Love and You," Dianne Reeves - "Christmas Time is Here" and Luther Vandross - "This is Christmas." When Lloyd mentioned Luther Vandross, I have to get my evergreen branch in the water for Teddy Pendergrass's "This Christmas (I'd Rather Have Love)." The 1998 release has mostly traditional Christmas songs, but the title song is really good. With Teddy P. singing, "We Three Kings," it takes on new life.
Till Santa's gone, I just can't wait
Country artists all turn out a Christmas album or two during their careers, but there are a couple of standouts that get a lot of spins in the Hartbeat jingle bell juke box.
The majority of George Strait's 1986 release, "Merry Christmas Strait to You" consists of good versions of old favorites but the his non-traditional tunes are worth the price of this CD. "When It's Christmas Time in Texas, Merry Christmas Strait to You" and "For Christ's Sake It's Christmas" utilize elements of western swing and traditional country music themes. The most memorable song that keeps you listening to this collection is "There's a New Kid in Town."
Clint Black took a big risk in releasing a Christmas album in 1995 that contained ten songs that he either wrote or co-wrote. A Hartbeat family favorite is "Til Santa's Gone (Milk and Cookies)."
All I want for Christmas is a rock and roll electric guitar
The 1990 recording, "A Very Special Christmas," is a critical cornerstone in building a rock Christmas catalog. My favorite cut is "Christmas in Hollis" by Run D.M.C. How can you not like the lyric: "My name's D.M.C. with the mic in my hand and I'm chillin and coolin just like a snowman." All of the "Very Special Christmas" albums have high points, but the first one is my favorite.
The Musical Notes
"There's A New Kid in Town" was written by Don Cook, Curley Putnam and Keith Whitley. Curley Putman wrote many hit songs including: "Green Green Grass of Home", "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" and "My Elusive Dreams." He also teamed up with Bobby Braddock to pen is what may consider the greatest country song of all time, "He Stopped Loving Her Today." The greatest song in country music can be a subject of great debate. Really the greatest song in any genre can spark long conversations with plenty of supporting evidence. For country, I break with many in the herd and cast my vote for "A Good Year for the Roses," sung by George Jones and written by Jerry Chesnut.
"Please Come Home for Christmas" was released as a single by Charles Brown in 1960. After nine seasons on the Christmas singles charts it hit number one in 1972. The Eagles did their own version of the song in 1978.
"Santa Claus is Back in Town" was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. They also wrote "Hound Dog" for Big Mama Thornton, which Elvis turned into a huge hit.
Hayden Nichols co-wrote "Better Man" and "Killing Time" with Clint Black. Shake Russell co-wrote, "Put Yourself in My Shoes" and "One More Payment" with Black. Russell and Nichols both teamed up with Clint Black to write, "Til' Santa's Gone (Milk and Cookies)."
"Run Run Rudolph" by Chuck Berry sounds a lot like "Little Queenie." Any fan of Chuck Berry knows that when a riff works for him, it keeps showing up in other songs. Bryan Adams does a good version of "Run Run Rudolph" on A Very Special Christmas.
What's Cooking on the Hartbeat Grill?
Hartbeat co-curator Vivian Hart, just purchased "If On a Winter's Night" by Sting. We will have to conduct extensive evaluations of this offering, but meanwhile, here is a list of some seasonal cds that will add spice to any Christmas playlist:
"Go Tell it On the Mountain:" The Blind Boys of Alabama
"A John Prine Christmas:" John Prine
"Have Yourself a Tractors Christmas:" The Tractors
"Ki ho'alu Christmas:" various Hawaiian slak key guitar artists
"The Jethro Tull Christmas Album:" Jethro Tull

Jack Dempsey ancestry?
I was curious how much Cherokee ancestry Dempsey had, hearing forever that he was Irish and Cherokee, if it was a little sliver or more like Tommy Morrison who was half, I guess. Wikipedia didn't go into it much but does list Cherokee. I looked further and this guy on yahoo posted some strong statements on that matter:
<b> <b> [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Thomas answered 1 year agoNo, because he was simply claiming "Cherokee blood" like many American do, with no proof.It was kind of like how Johnny Cash claimed to be "part-Cherokee" or like how Elizabeth ****** still claims she has "Cherokee heritage." There is no tribal affiliation or ancestry that can be shown. Dempsey had no recognized Cherokee ancestors.Jack Dempsey's father was Hiram Dempsey, born in 1856 in Logan Co, VA, to non-Cherokee parents William A Dempsey (b. 1827) and Mahulda Blair (b. 1824). They show up in standard American society, nowhere near a Cherokee community and listed in records as White. William was the son of non-Cherokees Joseph Dempsey (b. 1797) and Asina Vance (b. 1791). Joseph may had Jewish roots through his mother (Rachel Solomon), but they most certainly were not Cherokee. All of his paternal lines are trace back to non-Cherokee people.His mother was Mary Celia Smoot, born in 1859 in Logan Co., VA. Her non-Cherokee parents were Charles Smoot and Florence Greaver. They also show up in White society and records. In fact, Charles Smoot shows up in the 1860 Logan County Slave schedule and lists a number of Black slaves he owned. Charles Smoot was the son of Daniel Smoot (b. 1784 in MD - he was not Cherokee) and Mary Anderson (b. 1789 NC - daughter early eastern NC colonial settlers). They also never show up with any connection to Cherokee people.His family tree is actually traced on the web (numerous sites) and you can also do primary research to confirm all these links. You will find there is not one ancestor that shows up as a recognized tribal member. There are a few genealogy forums that have posts from Dempsey descendants that are recycling the Cherokee blood myths and stating that Jack's family were partially Cherokee from vague ancestors those that "hid out." However, this is just standard blood lore and is just being posted by people that aren't truly tracing the family back just several more generations, back to their origin in eastern colonial (White) families. All lines can be traced back to the 1700s and they are not Indian or Cherokee.
<b> <b> I was curious what anybody here who's looked into it could say. Did you also come to the conclusion that there wasn't anything to be found for Cherokee ancestry or what? Thanks.

Re: Jack Dempsey ancestry?
Dempsey was full-blooded Hebrew. He used to do standup under the name Shecky Weinberg. But his Mormon church refused to allow him take part in their tabernacle choir until he dropped the act. Then people found out that he had one of the great voices of all heavyweight champs since Pinklon Thomas, who was pre-linearly champion before and post-linearly champion after Dempsey. A lot of people on Yahoo do not know these things or are deliberately trying to keep them from you, as they are the true nature of thetans.

Re: Jack Dempsey ancestry?
From his obit in the Ny Times dated 1June1983:" Hyrum Dempsey was a tough, restless descendant of Irish immigrants who had quit a job as schoolteacher to venture west. There was a strain of Indian blood in both parents revealed in the baby's blueblack hair and high cheekbones. They named him William Harrison Dempsey and called him Harry, but at 16 he went his own way and adopted his own names."
Believe what you will but in my opinion, when you look at some of his photos, it is fairly clear that he does have the looks of Indian ancestry.

text: 606 FXUS64 KMAF 252258 AFDMAF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 558 PM CDT WED MAY 25 2016 .DISCUSSION... See aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... VFR conditions are expected at the west Texas and southeast New Mexico terminals the next 24 hours. An upper level disturbance moving northeast out of Mexico is expected to produce isolated thunderstorms across the Big Bend and lower Trans Pecos region this evening. Confidence was not high enough to mention at KFST or any of the other terminals. Winds will become southeast at 15 to 25 mph and gusty at KMAF, KINK, and KFST near sunset. Winds should diminish and become south at 10 to 15 mph at these locations by 06z to 09z Thursday. Winds will increase to 15 to 25 mph and gusty at all the terminals by mid to late Thursday morning and continue Thursday afternoon. 12 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 251 PM CDT WED MAY 25 2016/ DISCUSSION... Another warm, dry, and breezy day today with moisture largely confined to far eastern portions of the area ahead of the advancing dryline. Per latest observations, the dryline has moved east of Snyder and extends south to near Sterling City before curving back to the west through eastern Pecos and Brewster counties. The dryline is not expected to advance east of the Lower Trans Pecos, thus there is a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon across Terrell county along the dryline with a slight chance further west/northwest where storms could develop off of higher terrain. Some storms, mainly across Terrell county, could become strong to severe, capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and locally heavy rainfall. To the west, critical fire weather conditions will persist through this evening across the Guadalupe Mountains and southeast New Mexico Plains due to the warm, windy, and dry conditions. See the Fire Weather Discussion below for details. Thunderstorm chances will continue overnight as a shortwave moves across northern Mexico and yields additional forcing as the dryline begins to retreat to the west. Storm chances tonight are confined mainly along/south of I-10, with guidance suggesting the potential for storms to grow upscale into an MCS over the far Lower Trans Pecos and then quickly advance to the southeast. The dryline will retreat west to the vicinity of the TX/NM state line overnight, with near normal low temperatures in the 50s to around 60 degrees expected west of the dryline, and above normal lows in the mid 60s to low 70s to the east. On Thursday, height falls will begin to overspread the area ahead of the advancing trough which will be located near the AZ/NM state line by Thursday afternoon. Temperatures will be a bit cooler, though given continued southwest flow, downslope warming, and deep mixing behind the dryline, have maintained highs above MOS guidance given the continued trend of models under-forecasting max temperatures. Thunderstorm chances exist along and ahead of the dryline late Thursday afternoon into Thursday evening, mainly across the Western Low Rolling Plains, eastern Permian Basin, and Lower Trans Pecos. Thunderstorm chances increase overnight Thursday as the trough begins to eject to the Central Plains and an accompanying Pacific front moves through the area. Convergence will be enhanced as the front interacts with the dryline, resulting in strong to possibly severe thunderstorms across the eastern Permian Basin and Lower Trans Pecos, where large hail, damaging winds, and locally heavy rainfall will be possible. By Friday, moisture will be shunted to the east of the area with dry conditions expected across southeast New Mexico and west Texas under quasi-zonal flow aloft. Temperatures will be closer to normal in the mid 80s and 90s, with similar conditions expected Saturday, albeit slightly warmer and with a few thunderstorms possible across the Lower Trans Pecos as moisture begins to return to the region. An active pattern looks to return Sunday as the dryline redevelops over the area, and flow aloft transitions to the southwest due to a strengthening western CONUS trough. Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms will be possible from Sunday through at least midweek next week due to multiple shortwaves in the flow aloft and continued dryline influence, with temperatures near to just above normal. FIRE WEATHER... Critical conditions continue in the Guadalupe Mountains and southeast New Mexico Plains this afternoon, and will persist into this evening before winds subside. Recovery will be poor again tonight over these same areas with good recovery expected along and east of a Maljamar to Fort Stockton to Big Bend line. More critical fire weather conditions are anticipated Thursday over the Guadalupes and SE NM Plains. The Van Horn area, Marfa Plateau, Davis Mountains and portions of the northwest Permian Basin may need to be added to the Watch, but later shifts will have to make the final call since winds appear borderline right now. Southwest winds are expected to increase earlier on Thursday so the start time of the Fire Weather Watch has been backed up to 26/15Z and will be in effect until 27/03Z. Temperatures will warm around 10 degrees above normal Thursday afternoon, RH/s will drop to 5 to 10 percent and the Haines Index will be 5 or 6 in these areas also. Poor recovery will occur again Thursday night along and west of a Hobbs to Big Bend line. The base of an upper storm system will move over the region on Friday, and at this time wind speeds do not appear to be as strong as today or Thursday. Temperatures will also not be as hot on Friday, but it will still be dry with minimum afternoon RH/s of 5 to 10 percent expected areawide. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Same-Sexers under Siege : THE RIGHT-WING CRUSADE TO ROLL BACK GAY CIVIL RIGHTS IS GATHERING MOMENTUM
Ireland, Doug, The Nation
The warning signs of a real crisis for the gay rights movement are there for all who care to read them. In five of the six places where equal rights for homosexuals were placed before the voters last year, the antigay forces won. Referendums banning marriage equality for same-sex couples passed easily in California, Nebraska and Nevada. Ferndale, Michigan, voters repealed a local ordinance barring discrimination against same-sexers. Worst of all, a Maine law protecting gays against discrimination in jobs, housing and credit, passed by the State Legislature after years of struggle by local activists, went down to defeat at the hands of a well-funded referendum campaign by the Christian right. And while Oregon rejected a vicious "no promo homo" amendment that, by forbidding realistic teaching about homosexuality, would have vitiated AIDS education in public schools and colleges and threatened the livelihood of openly gay teachers, the margin of victory was too close for comfort.
Across the nation, the right-wing crusade to roll back gay civil rights gains and block further advances--already well under way before the election of George W. Bush--is gathering momentum. At the same time, gay conservatives--many of whom oppose laws protecting gays against discrimination--are increasingly vocal and well organized. These twin developments present the established national gay institutions with the urgent need to rethink their missions and strategies, a challenge already taken up in some states.
This year and next, there are at least thirteen antigay referendums in the works around the country, with the likelihood of more to come. We've already lost the first one: In May, Royal Oak, Michigan, outside Detroit--the onetime home of the 1930s anti-Semitic radio priest, Father Charles Coughlin, and now the gayest suburb in the state--repealed an antidiscrimination ordinance for gays by a crushing margin of 2 to 1. Like last year's successful rollback in Ferndale, the Royal Oak campaign was organized by the Michigan arm of the Rev. Donald Wildmon's American Family Association; based in Tupelo, Mississippi, the AFA, which boasts a $17 million annual budget, is rapidly becoming the new spearhead of the antigay Christian right (its latest target: the Girl Scouts, for not discriminating against lesbians). The Michigan AFA, led by Gary Glenn, a former anti-labor mercenary from Idaho, has gotten measures on the ballot this November to repeal gay rights protections in Kalamazoo and Traverse City, and similar campaigns have begun in Grand Haven and Huntington Woods. The six other Michigan cities that have such ordinances are also on Glenn's eventual hit list.
It's back to the future in Florida, where--more than two decades after Anita Bryant's infamous Save Our Children crusade persuaded voters to repeal an antidiscrimination ordinance passed by the Dade County Commission--the Christian right has coalesced under the name Take Back Miami-Dade to revoke a 1998 amendment including gays in the county's human rights ordinance. Led by the Christian Coalition, the antigay forces collected 51,000 signatures (more than the 35,000 needed) to place the measure on the ballot, but the progay coalition, Safeguarding American Values for Everyone (known as SAVE Dade) mounted a legal challenge to the validity of the signatures, and now it's up to the courts to decide whether the measure will be on the ballot this fall. (The AFA's Center for Law and Policy is plotting strategy and footing the legal bills for the antigay crowd.) In Fort Lauderdale, a gay vacation mecca that is also home to the Rev. D.
