In a Sept. 6, 2012 photo, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick walks to federal court on Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012 in Detroit with attorney Jim Thomas. Opening statements are set for Friday, Sept. 21. Kilpatrick, his father Bernard, former city water boss Victor Mercado and Kilpatrick pal Bobby Ferguson are accused of a sweeping corruption scheme. (AP Photo/Detroit News, David Coates) DETROIT FREE PRESS OUT; HUFFINGTON POST OUT
DETROIT (AP) -- Fourteen days and still no verdict in the corruption trial of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
The jury went home for the weekend Friday, but Kilpatrick is staying in Detroit.
Kilpatrick has been under a travel ban since January after violating parole in a 2008 criminal case. In an email to his parole agent, Kilpatrick says he hasn't been to his Dallas-area home since Jan. 2, although his wife and three children have traveled to Detroit to see him.
He suggests that a fear of "public and media scrutiny" is the reason why the agent won't lift the travel ban.
Kilpatrick says "parolees are human beings" who need to stay connected to family.

Late Middle English: from Old French creue 'augmentation, increase', feminine past participle of croistre 'grow', from Latin crescere. The original sense was 'band of soldiers serving as reinforcements'; hence it came to denote any organized armed band or, generally, a company of people (late 16th century).
When crew came into English in the 15th century it initially referred to a band of soldiers acting as reinforcements. The origin of the word is Old French creue 'an increase', ultimately derived from Latin crescere 'to grow or increase' ( see crescent). By the 16th century the word was being applied to any organized armed band or, more generally, a company of people. A crew cut is so called because this closely cropped hairstyle was first adopted by rowing crews at Harvard and Yale universities in the late 1930s. The crew neck came from the same source—rowers wore sweaters with close-fitting necks.

Vocalist and bassist Isaac Points' Jakarta Band is "Denver's hottest old-school funk and R&B band," with music ranging from soul, hip hop and disco to soft rock. In his more than 35 year career, the "funk expert" has opened for Stanley Clark and Herbie Hancock, played base with Chuck Berry and Tony Bennett and taken part in USO tours with Joe Clemons.

A handy app, managing snippets is easy, and works well with most of the apps I happened to have installed.
One odd point though, is that the shortcuts continue to be active even after they've been deleted from the manage snippets window, although it's possible to overwrite their original contents by re-adding them and restarting the app. Another minor thing, the image pasting doesn't work in Thunderbird (it's fine in Mail, so it might just be a stray case).

Its still got some bugs, but its usable.

If you spot a hottie walking back and forth near your chair or towel with some pep in his step, pay attention. "A lively stroll conveys confidence and interest," says body language expert Lillian Glass, PhD. He's showing himself off for you, and it's an early clue that he wants you to notice him.
"Even if his eyes and head are focused somewhere else, if his feet are directed your way and dig into the sand, he's planted himself next to you to show interest," explains Glass. Same goes for his upper body: If he positions his chest and shoulders at you, even if he's looking at someone else, he's still set his sights on you.

Personal extravagance did her in
Bev Oda lights one up outside Parliament
Minister Bev Oda has always said yes to everything Stephen Harper has asked of her.
No question for her of contradicting him.
When Harper asked her to cut aid to African countries, or reducing the number of recipient countries from 25 to 20, or of giving a little more to South America where big Canadian mining have considerable investments, her answer was always "Yes sir. "
When you're Stephen Harper, and you have a minister as obedient and as submissive, no question of tossing her out the door.
But ultimately it was neither lack of loyalty or submission that cost Oda her job, but rather her lavish spending that repeatedly plunged Harper into public embarrassment.
Incompetence does not bother Harper. He knows it well. It is public embarrassment that he hates.
In 2005 Bev Oda went to the Juno awards in Halifax where she spent $ 2 000 on limousine services rather than taking taxis.
The real reason for her limousines, apart from enjoying their luxury is that Oda smokes like a chimney and in Canada and very few taxi companies allow smoking in their cars.
Oda was ordered by Harper to pay back $ 2 000 back to taxpayers for her extravagant limousine rentals.
One might think she would learn.
But two years later we discover she had spent another $ 17 000 on limousines. Once again, she had to refund the money to taxpayers. Harper almost had enough.
And then this year we find out that at a conference in London on vaccines for poor Third World children, Oda had cancelled her room in a five-star London hotel for a room at $ 600 more in the Savoy Hotel where smoking was allowed. And obviously, there was another $ 2 000 limousine charge.
In addition, she ordered a $ 16 glass of orange juice to her room.
Was there no end to the lavish spending of this woman?
Harper had had enough.
"Bye-bye Bev!"
But now we learn that Harper and Oda spoke together privately on June 20 and something was agreed upon between them.
So she left very politely with a very polite thank you from Harper
Could she have won a Senate appointment or something similar - something more rewarding than just her $ 52 000 a year minister's pension?
Time will tell. Wait for it.

Municipal elections are being held across the state of Alabama Tuesday. In two coastal counties, they're being delayed because of Hurricane Isaac.
In the rest of the state they proceeded as planned. In fact, there are early indications of a high voter turnout in the city of York.
Starting at 7 a.m. candidates and others with keen interest in the election greeted voters outside the polling site across from York City Hall.
Restricted by cones, which kept them at least thirty feet away from the polling entrance, some who gathered outside the polls were there to support candidates and others to support a cause.
'I'm supporting the sale of beer on Sundays,' says Starling Perryman of York. 'I think we need some more revenue in this town.'
The sale of alcoholic beverages on Sundays in York is a special election item. If approved, city manager Tim Sweezey says it's unknown exactly how much money this referendum could generate for the city.
'Quite frankly I don't know, but I do know that it'll be more than nothing which is what we're getting now. So, I think that'll be relatively impressive,' says Sweezey.
In order for the sale of alcohol on Sundays to be allowed in York, more than 50% of the voters must approve it. If that does happen, Sweezey says this ordinance could officially take effect this Sunday.
As for the regular items on the ballot, York's mayor and four out of the five city council members are being challenged. Dianne Ruffin Green is seeking the District 5 seat. She says the lack of growth in York prompted her to seek the office.
'The problem is, I really can't say and I really don't want to say and I really don't want to point fingers, but it's just a problem. I'll just put it that way,' says Green.
'I feel that, if we as the mayor and council would've worked together, we would've been able to accomplish a whole lot more, but due to other agendas, it just did not work out the way I expected it should,' says Mayor Glenda Dubose.
Polls in Alabama will close at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Dr. Jeff should see the knuckle-gnawing that passes for discussion in this place...anyway, we appear to be turning a corner:
http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/show.htmlAn active weather pattern coming to the Tropical Atlantic
It's been an unusually quiet August for hurricane activity in the Atlantic, and if we finish the month without a hurricane, it will mark the first year since 2002 without an August hurricane. However, the quiet weather pattern we've been blessed with is about to come to an end, as conditions favorable for hurricane formation move into place for the last few days of August and the first week of September. The big guns of the African Monsoon are firing off a salvo of African tropical waves over the next two weeks that will find the most favorable conditions for development that we've seen this year. While there is currently a new outbreak of dry air and dust from the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) over the Eastern Atlantic, the latest European model forecast calls for a reduction in dry air and dust over the Tropical Atlantic during the 7 - 14 day period, accompanied by low wind shear. The Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO), a pattern of increased thunderstorm activity near the Equator that moves around the globe in 30 - 60 days, has begun a new active phase. The most active part of the MJO has not yet crossed into the Atlantic, but is expected to do so during the period 7 - 14 days from now. The MJO will bring rising air that will aid strong thunderstorm updrafts and thus tropical storms--and their subsequent intensification into hurricanes. According to Dr. Michael Ventrice, an MJO expert at WSI, Inc., the latest run of the GFS model predicts that this MJO event will be the 3rd strongest in the Western Hemisphere since 1989. During the last four comparable strong MJO events, 68% of all the tropical depressions that formed during these events (21 out of 31 storms) intensified into hurricanes. The MJO will likely continue to support Atlantic hurricane activity through September 15. The MJO is then expected to progress into the Western Pacific for the last half of September, which would likely bring sinking air over the Atlantic and a quieter portion of hurricane season.

Charles R. Wolfe: Contrasting two models of how places survive
Two September experiences reminded me of the strength and fragility of urban places, and the inherent ironies of surviving town forms. One such experience was here, at home, while preparing for a keynote address in New Hampshire scheduled for later this month. The other was on the road in southern France.

Warm Peach
The stain that started it all. tarte's award-winning and best-selling cheek stain gives you a gorgeous, natural flush in a gel or cream consistency. Rounded top cheek stains are gel based stains, while flat top cheek stains are the cream based version.
This lightweight glow-getter imparts a natural flush - like someone just pinched your cheeks! Get the look of love and an instant pop of soft & dreamy color by applying this to the apples of your cheeks. Unlike traditional stains that are hard to apply, this goof-proof tint melts into skin easily and gives you 20 seconds of blending time before it sets in place for all day wear.

Remove the protective plastic disc from the top of the cheek tint. Sometimes humidity creates a bit of liquid/wetness on the top of the cheek tint. If so, simply wipe it off with a dry tissue. Cheek stain can be worn alone or over foundation or powder to give a natural, healthy flush. Directly from the container, dab it on the apples of your cheeks, blend the edges, and go- it ís that easy. Layer for more intense color.

The Michigan Department of Community Health released its Smallpox Preparedness Plans to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While some health officials are first in line to receive a vaccination, the general public is still advised against it.
State officials say they don't recommend mass immunizations against the deadly disease Smallpox.
According to some estimates, the disease would kill between 30 to 60 percent of people infected.
The state is planning to divide Michigan into eight regions to combat an outbreak if one occurs, and vaccinate all critical heath workers and eventually firefighters and police.
The CDC must first approve the plan for it to be implemented.
At this time officials do not know when approval may be given.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE --Oral storytelling is an art form little understood, Merrilee Hindman will tell you.
"I like telling stories because when you tell a story to a child ... you remove that third wall, and you have just you and the other person and the story," Hindman said.
Hindman started telling stories in the '70s, when there was a movement to bring back the oral tradition. The Carbondale resident went on to earn a master's in storytelling from East Tennessee State University, and now takes her talent to local schools and the Ice Age Discovery Center for some apres-ski family time.
Hindman says when people listen to a story they imagine it in their own way more than when they read it on a page.
"When you're hearing it you remember it more than if you're just seeing it in front of you," she said. "I always say if I'm telling a story to 300 people, I'm not telling one story, I'm telling 300."
To keep her repertoire fresh, Hindman reads stories constantly. When she finds one she wants to tell, she studies it and reflects on it, and then retells it in her own words. Often that means changing a third-person story into a first.
"I go away, and what's left is the story," Hindman said.
Hindman has been telling stories apres ski in Snowmass for several years now. The storytelling has had different homes in Snowmass over the years, but the Ice Age Discovery Center is one of the more conducive to listening because it's indoors, Hindman says. On Wednesday afternoons, she perches on the hearth of the fireplace there and sets out stools and chairs in a semi-
circle in front of her.
She tells mostly folk tales from various cultures, including Native American, Australian and Western stories. Last year, in the wake of the fossil discoveries in Snowmass, she told historical stories about the Ice Age, but this season she says she's returned to her traditional catalog of stories.
When she's telling stories in Snowmass, she usually has a different group of visiting families every week, so she has to pick from that list on the spot.
"I have to gear to who's here," Hindman said. "You have to be really flexible so that you can meet the age level."
She doesn't necessarily choose her stories based on age level though. Last week, several Australian families were present, so she told a folk story about why koalas have short tails. A Spanish-speaking family also joined, and the parents helped her interpret some words for their children.
Storytelling is free and open to the public. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Hello all,
I just stumbled across this program randomly when searching the internet. I have been trying to find a way to stream downloaded TV shows (720P, mostly MKV) to the PS3 with no real success. So I decided that I would just end up building a Home Theater PC and run linux on it. Well now that I found this program and could possibly not need to build a HTPC I'm very happy.
I plan on making my own NAS (Network Attached Storage) server and run FreeNAS on it. That is where I would like to have all my media reside as my desktop is a power hog as it was designed for gaming. Since FreeNAS is based on FreeBSD I was wondering if it is possible to run PS3 Media Server on a BSD based system?

STOCKTON — A speeding-car investigation Monday evening led police to a north Stockton home where they discovered 37 stolen, high-value catalytic converters and a loaded handgun. The result was five arrests that could possibly put a crimp in the explosion of such thefts Stockton has experienced in the past year.
The Police Department's Community Response Team was patrolling a northeast neighborhood around 8:10 p.m. Monday when officers saw a Mercedes speed by on Fox Creek Drive. According to a police account, they lost the car briefly before discovering it parked and unoccupied in the driveway of a home in the 9000 block of Fox Creek.
They went to the home and contacted the residents, who confirmed they had been in the Mercedes. A subsequent search of the home turned up the stolen converters and the loaded gun.
Officers arrested three men, Sophanny Poeun, 23, Jackson Ham, 21, and Nhim Surteng, 19; one woman, Sanipha Kham, 20; and a 16-year-old male juvenile. All five were booked on suspicion of weapons and stolen property charges. Police described Poeun as a documented gang member.

RIP, TunesTEXT. Still displays lyrics, but no longer fetches them.
from the developer's website:
"Today, I stopped development of TunesTEXT. I'll no longer update this software.
Thanks for all your feedback. Thanks for your cheers.
And I'm sorry for causing inconvenience to you. At present, TunesTEXT 0.8.18 can't search lyrics on Metrolyrics or SING365.com. However, I won't fix this probrem. Sorry again.
Nov 13, 2012 -- Cyan.K"
An easy way to get the lyrics of your songs.
Thanks for the slick widget.
First, I appreciate the fact that it actually works. Then it does what you want it to do without asking and does more if you ask it to, for example, letting you edit the lyrics and then it saves the corrected lyrics into iTunes. If you close without saving the lyrics, it asks if you want to save the lyrics. It just works the way such a program should work.
It is also nice to have a variety of skins to choose from. :-D
PS. I am in China and Canto can not reach any lyrics!
Finally, this works right and let you edit the lyrics as well. Good job! =]
really good widget after all...i like how it doesn't paste incorrect lyric when you change the song...everything is good except for one fact if you want it to go download quickly you need to make it so that it only has one source (metro lyrics recommended) and then it's still pretty slow. oh and i miss singthatitune's album artwork catcher which this doesn't have bcus of the simple fact that the iTunes store doesn't have every single piece of album artwork. Plus Harmonic is much faster but other than that it's alot more solid than its companions much more recommended than the rest =)
Better than Harmonics (can't find a lot of songs), SingthatiTune (unstable) and of course rather more up-to-date than the unfortunate pearLyrics.
Love this app, finds more lyrics than any of the other apps I've tried. Props to the dev.
the search results are definitely better (than some other widgets I've tried). give this one a try!
This is perfect, it finds many of the lyrics and covers that other similar widgets don't!
Best of the lyrics widgets I have tried since pearLyrics.

While the clothes on London's spring runways were a shade or three brighter, the street style hewed more seasonally appropriate this week. Showgoers and hangers-on kept things more muted, which made the occasional print, statement accessory or splash of color all the more powerful. Of course, this being a fashion crowd, sunglasses were always in the mix, gray skies or blue.

While iTunes is a powerful application, it does have its limitations, mostly stemming from both Digital Rights Management (DRM) restrictions and the Recording Industry Association of America's (RIAA) interest in preventing unauthorized copying of music, regardless of fair use and personal flexibility. The free software community believes that the ability to freely copy content you own between your iPod and a computer is a right, not a privilege. In this article, I'll discuss how to fully manage the content on your iPod using completely free software.
The free software community believes that the ability to freely copy content you own between your iPod and a computer is a right, not a privilege
Other than purchasing content, what other base functionality of iTunes is commonly used? Copying content to your iPod, maintaining playlists, and subscribing to podcasts. If we're switching applications, we don't want to lose any basic functionality!
I used a FAT formatted fourth generation 20 GB iPod Version 3.1.1 for testing, so I can't attest to video functionality. I used Ubuntu 6.10 x86 for my test system, so any installation notes will apply to that context. By default, Ubuntu comes with Rhythmbox, which didn't work properly with my iPod, so I just removed it.
iPod Managers
There are three applications for managing the contents your iPod that rise to the top: gtkpod, Banshee, and Amarok. While gtkpod is primarily just an interface to the iPod, Banshee and Amarok are fully functional audio players. I'll concentrate on iPod management rather than a full review of all their features.
- Homepage: http://www.gtkpod.org/
- Version: v0.99.8 (09/24/2006)
- Platform: All (GTK2)
- License: GNU GPL v2
gtkpod is a cross-platform interface for the iPod, with support for all iPods through the 5G and iTunes mobile phones. It features a smart playlist editor.
I had no issues with the installation; no configuration was needed, and the iPod showed up correctly. The main view displays a comprehensive, sortable playlist editor. To use, you click the Read button to read the iPod's iTunesDB, make your changes, then Sync. If you choose, you can also sync specific files, directories, or playlists. Copying music from the iPod to your computer is as simple as right-clicking and selecting "Copy Tracks to Filesystem". The resulting files were nicely named based on the tags. I copied files by simply dragging and dropping the folder onto the gtkpod window. When I ejected the iPod and checked my changes, everything was there without corruption, and the newly copied files and playlists worked without issue.
By default, gtkpod offers playback of files using XMMS. You can change the command under
gtkpod also comes with a few system utilities. You can also normalize the volume level of your audio files, but as I trust the engineers and producers to set their levels appropriately (let's not get into compression, that's a rant unto itself), I wouldn't recommend it for normal use. I tried it, and it seemed to work. Other useful utilities include a scan for orphaned and dangling files and a quick overview of disk utilization.
Overall, I really like this utility because of its logical interface, ease of use, and lack of bloat.
- Homepage: http://amarok.kde.org/
- Version: 1.4.4 (10/30/2006)
- Platform: GNU/Linux, Unix
- License: GNU GPL
Amarok is a GNU/Linux audio player. While developed initially for KDE, it's currently desktop independent. One of its advantages is support for many audio devices, including iPod, iRiver, etc. Upon the first run, you're given the opportunity to set up your library. Unfortunately, out of the box on Ubuntu 6.10, the iPod wasn't detected, but a quick configuration change made all the difference:
Settings→Configure Amarok→Media Device→Add Device→Plugin (Apple iPod), name (iPod), and mount point (/media/ipod).
One of [Amarok's] advantages is support for many audio devices, including iPod, iRiver...
Copying music from the iPod is as simple as right-clicking and selecting
Manage Files→Copy Track to Collection. As it adds files to Amarok's library, the file is neatly named and placed in an appropriate folder (you're given the option of which folder naming scheme you'd like). Copying to the iPod from your collection is similarly easy: right-click, Transfer to Media Device, select the Media Device and click Transfer. Amarok automatically checks for duplicate tracks, which is nice. The album cover function works quite nicely, fetching the image from Amazon or another external source. Playlists also work quite well.
Overall, Amarok is a strong tool, and definitely worth considering if you're looking for both iPod and Library management.
- Homepage: http://banshee-project.org/
- Version: 0.11.3 (12/09/2006)
- Platform: GNU/Linux (GTK)
- License: MIT
Banshee is an audio player for Gnome that has the ability to synchronize music with iPods. It's more of a media manager, similar to iTunes.
When first run, Banshee asks you to set up your Music Library. When I reached the main window, the iPod showed up automatically and no additional configuration was required. However, my iPod playlists didn't show up... not the end of the world, but not good either.
I copied tracks from the iPod by dragging them from the Banshee interface onto the desktop. However, the resulting file name was a bit wacky—Banshee just copied it directly from the iPod without renaming it based on the internal tags. Copying tracks from the Music Library to the iPod was similarly flawed; I dragged a single track, then the whole album, and ended up with a duplicate. When I synchronized, I lost an entire album that had been on the iPod that I hadn't been working with! I suppose that the program tried to warn me: "Actions will alter or erase existing iPod contents and may cause incompatibility with iTunes!". Fortunately, the duplicated track seemed to be intact.
I ejected the iPod and surveyed the damage. The duplicate was there, and my album really had gone missing.
There's an iTunes Music Store plugin, which allows you to purchase music from the iTunes store. After the disappearing album, I opted not to try it.
I removed Banshee and reinstalled gtkpod to try to fix things. I got a warning and a notice. The notice told me that a duplicate track had been detected and removed (good!). The warning was a bit more disturbing; "iTunesDB... does not match checksum in... iTunesDB.ext ... gtkpod will try to match the information using MD5 checksums. This may take a long time". The operation seemed to go quickly enough. Then I tried syncing; gtkpod failed to write to the artwork database, so now that was corrupted too. Also, when I checked the iPod files, it reported dozens of dangling tracks which it recommended for removal; when I did, I was left with only one song on the entire iPod. Good thing I prepared for this by backing everything up.
While Banshee may be a good media manager, based on my experience, I can't recommend it at all for managing your iPod.
Podcasts... are actually just syndicated media files... you don't need iTunes to retrieve [podcasts]
Podcasts, while on the surface are a mysterious and trendy Web 2.0 creature, are actually just syndicated media files. While Apple has embraced podcasts and treats them like it was their idea, you don't need iTunes to retrieve the content of a podcast; you can use any news reader. However, there is additional functionality to be gained by using an application specific to handling feeds. An aggregator is client software that monitors subscribed web feeds and downloads any new content. Here are just a few of the many podcatching clients.
- Homepage: http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net
- Version: 2.2
- Platform: Windows, Mac OS, GNU/Linux (fork)
- License: GNU GPL
Juice (formerly iPodder) is the most common cross-platform podcast aggregator, and also considered the first. Currently, there's no GNU/Linux version; their homepage recommends the iPodder fork PodNova instead.
On first run, Juice had two default podcasts already subscribed (Adam Curry and news about Juice), but they can be removed. Overall, I found Juice very logical and easy to use; just add a feed and check for files. The downloaded files are neatly organized in the destination folder, ready to be transferred to your portable media device. You can leave Juice running in the background to continuously keep your subscriptions up to date.
If you're using either Windows or Mac OS, I'd strongly suggest giving Juice a try; when in Windows, I used it on a regular basis.
- Homepage: http://perli.net/projekte/gpodder/
- Version: 0.8.0 (07/28/2006)
- Platform: GNU/Linux
- License: GNU GPL
gPodder has the advantage of being able to copy podcasts directly to your iPod. You subscribe to podcast feeds using gPodder's "channels": simply paste the feed URL, select the content you'd like to download, and press the download button. By default, they're added to the podcast playlist, so they're considered actual podcasts by the iPod! An excellent feature that allows you to use the iPod's full podcast functionality, such as remembering where you were. Under the Podcasts menu, you can both Sync to iPod and clean up iPod podcasts.
On the downside, for each downloaded file, the artist field is overwritten with "gPodder podcast", and it doesn't look like that can be reconfigured.
Overall, gPodder is an excellent program for managing your podcasts; it's lightweight and clean, which I prefer.
- Homepage: http://linc.homeunix.org:8080/scripts/bashpodder/
- Version: 1.2 (09/14/2006)
- Platform: All (requires bash, wget and sed)
- License: GNU GPL
BashPodder brings the base functionality of an aggregator down to its barest essentials—just tell it what feed you want it to check and which directory to put the downloaded content in. Using the K.I.S.S. principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid), BashPodder consists of just three files: a crontab friendly script, an XML stylesheet, and a text list of feeds. There is a GUI available, but that kind of defeats the purpose of such a minimalistic approach. I like this no-nonsense approach: just paste the source URL into the feed list and the next time the script is executed, the feed will be checked and new content acquired.
Other iPod Managers
There are other "free" iPod managers, some cross platform, others platform specific. Development on the plugin foo_pod for the audio player foobar2000 (closed source with a BSD API) has ended with feature completion for the 4G and no current plans for anything above. There's a plugin for Winamp, which is being overshadowed by the recent inclusion of official internal iPod support. EphPod is closed source, and while it seems to work well for anything under a 4G, it hasn't been updated in years. The manager Media Monkey comes in two flavors: a no-cost no-nags version, and a commercial version with additional functionality. However, it lacks essential features like duplicate checking.
Visit the Wikipedia article Comparison of iPod Managers for a good roundup and comparison of these other utilities.
Firmware Replacement
There's another more drastic direction that you can take: replacing the iPod's operating system. While not for the faint of heart (you run an extremely slim chance of bricking your player), you can completely unlock the potential of your iPod using free software.
Replacing the iPod's operating system can completely unlock the potential of your iPod
- Homepage: http://ipodlinux.org/
- License: GNU GPL
iPodLinux is custom uClinux kernel with an interface named podzilla. Dozens of applications in the form of modules have been written to add functionality and value, including utilities like text keypads and screen locks, and games like chess and tetris. Using the Music Player Daemon (MPD), it supports MP3, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, and AAC files. It's under a state of constant development, but in my opinion it's not a mature, stable application yet.
- Homepage: http://www.rockbox.org/
- License: GNU GPL v2
Rockbox is a free and mature operating system/firmware replacement, and it's not limited to just iPods—Archos, iriver, and iAudio devices are also supported. It plays back many formats, including MPEG audio, Ogg Vorbis, Musepack, AAC, AC3, FLAC, WavPack, Shorten, Apple Lossless, and WAV. It comes bundled with many applications and games, including Brickmania, Chess, Doom, Snake, Space Invaders, Game Boy emulation, and much more. The last time I was on a business trip, my flight was delayed, but the Rockbox applications helped time pass by much faster. Best of all, Rockbox has an excellent implementation of gapless playback built in by default.
Neither iPodLinux nor Rockbox have official stand-alone installers, but if you follow their simple step-by-step instructions, you'll be fine. Overall, because of its maturity, functionality, and support, I prefer Rockbox over both the official iPod firmware and iPodLinux.
I currently use gtkpod when managing my iTunesDB, gPodder for subscriptions, and Rockbox when I want to completely liberate my iPod. Fortunately, there are many free tools and options for iPod management, so you should now be able to find your own balance between the functionality you crave and the interface you prefer.
CLI app
If you like the command line, take a look at GNUpod:
It keeps things simple, which I like. It also has the ability to transparently transcode FLAC (which I use for all my CDs) to an MP3 of a bitrate you choose. There are plugins to do this with Amarok but I could never get it working right.
Don't forget Songbird
You should also look at Songbird
It's my main media application and is under major active development.
SongBird really rocks!
viva libre! SongBird really rocks! I uninstalled itunes immediately. I was fedup with moving my content around. Itune is a hassle, you pay and you still do not have proper right to own the music. I use songbird is just simple, you can play any format of music. My ipod shuffle works also with songbird. Perfect!
Don't forget Songbird

Built on xulRunner (like Firefox and Thunderbird) it's a very interesting approach to an internet media application
As far as I can tell, gtkpod is not cross-platform.
Unless you mean it works on both GNU/Linux & BSD.
The cons of managing ipod in linux
Many of these IPOD manager for linux in the past damaged my ipod mini database and caused me the loss of a great amount of music (expecially gtkpod!). The only reliable tool I recently adopted is banshee. I know, it's a novel sponsored application and uses mono, but I'm not losing anymore my music!
Banshee ALLWAYS screws my iPod-DB!
I have to use Banshee because it is the only player I have found that can transcode Flacs to the iPod. Unfortunately, it does not do so very well, and after a successfull sync (quite rare!) more than half the transcodes does not play on the iPod! Banshee is def not there yet...
Floola is a new one that a lot of people seem to like
Ubuntu forums thread
Floola site
It's crossplatform too.. (Mac/Linux/Win)
Use kde for simple transfers
If you have kde (ie. kde 3.5.5, opensuse 10.2) and you want to quickly transfer an .mp3 to your ipod, just plug your ipod in via usb, open konqueror, drag your mp3's to the ipod transfer directory, and then hit sync. done!
Don't snub Rhythmbox because of Ubuntu
People overlook Debian constantly. This is short-sighted and unfair to many Linux users. There is no opinion that Debian is more stable and reliable than Ubuntu, it's simply fact. At this point, Rhythmbox does fine with my ipod and all of the emails I get through my tutorial site reveal that I am not alone. It's a no-brainer.
GTKPod used to be a staple on our machines LAN-wide, but Etch reveals that Rhythmbox trumps GTKPod now. One cannot have both on their machine anymore. I'm thinking that this is a good thing, because of the default Etch install that many users will no doubt be perfectly satisfied with.
However, I do miss the functionality of GTKPod, namely, its renaming and other convention tools. GStreamer is coming along nicely and its king-fu is strong.
Amarok does Podcasts, too.
And it's worked really well for me. In fact, I really think if you're not going to use Xmms, you might as well use Amarok. It just feels nicer for everything, but that's just my opinion.
And I've got Rockbox on my 4G iPod as well, but about every hour it freezes on me. I still have it (and iPodLinux), but mostly just to show off and for reading text files.
install Rockbox (http://www.rockbox.org/) on your ipod
Just install Rockbox (http://www.rockbox.org/) on your ipod. Then use the FAT32 partition on your ipod as a "usb stick" to transfer files from/to your desktop PC. This works great on my ipod nano.
Rockbox plays Ogg Vorbis, FLAC
I second this suggestion, replace the problem at its own base. With rockbox playing vorbis, flac (never tested speex or have any info), there's no need to convert to mp3 or aac or anything to sastify ipod firmware.
Alot more nice software too (I bought a mailman list archive around to read with the text reader), and (gasp) Doom.
Exaile support iPod to :)
managing ipod without itunes
this seems very difficult for a newbie like me?
I agree
it sure ain't easy
Try songbird, I am still
Try songbird, I am still using ipod shuffle and managing my library with songbird. It is very simple and it rocks!
i now how to download songs to an ipod with out itunes
all you need is rhapsody and limewire and its for free (:
It keeps things simple, which I like. It also has the ability to transparently transcode FLAC (which I use for all my CDs) to an MP3 of a bitrate you choose. There are plugins to do this with Amarok but I could never get it working right.
any sites how u can put
any sites how u can put pictures on an iPod without iTunes...i cant use i tunes beacause it wont work with my PC....PLEASE HELP!
What about reTune?
I find reTune (and rebuild_db on the shuffle) to be _the_ most effective solutions to music management for iPods. These tools work at the command line - you manage your music files using whatever file explorer you normally use. I recommend that you try them at the links below:
I have posted some additional information on iPod management here:
Free softwares to manage iPod without iTunes
I've found this list of free alternative iPod managers
Not free...
The blog you mention (which is probably yours) talks about freeware, not free software. And talks about Windows, not GNU/Linux.
There is difference.
Floola Super efficient
I use Floola for a long time after trying many others. It installs directly on your Ipod, it's free, lightweight, simple, multi-platform (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux). Super efficient. In addition, it can directly convert the videos (eg youtube) in readable format the ipod. A good tutorial here: http://www.pierre-jouanneau.com/02_ang.html

Grant Abstract
Grant Number:
PI Name: GEORGIEFF, MICHAEL K.
Project Title: NEWBORN IRON DEFICIENCY
Abstract: Iron deficiency remains one of the foremost nutrient deficiencies in children in the world. Whereas over 40 studies have described the effects of postnatally acquired dietary iron deficiency on neurodevelopment, less attention has been paid to the immediate and long-term sequelae of fetal and neonatal brain iron deficiency. Fetal/neonatal iron deficiency occurs in three clinical conditions; severe maternal iron deficiency, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and pregnancies complicated by diabetes mellitus. The former complicates 30-50% of pregnancies in the developing world. The latter two account for iron deficiency in 225,000 newborn infants per year in the US. Iron deficiency affects at least three major aspects of early brain development: energy metabolism, monoamine neurotransmitter homeostasis, and myelination. Our laboratory has focused on the former as it relates to the developing hippocampus; the major neural circuit that subserves explicit memory. Nutritional insults (e.g. iron deficiency) that affect early hippocampal development are likely to impair memory function. Our long term objectives are to understand the mechanisms by which late fetal and early postnatal iron deficiency alter the biochemistry, structure, cell signaling, and electrical output of the hippocampus and how this in turn alters hippocampally based memory behavior. Our specific aims are to demonstrate that fetal/neonatal iron deficiency 1) causes abnormalities in recognition memory in human infants of diabetic mothers at birth and following iron repletion at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months as documented by event related potentials and behavioral tasks; and 2) alters hippocampal biochemistry, decreases dendritic arborization, neuronal cell-signaling kinase concentrations and long-term potentiation, and impairs hippocampally dependent trace conditioning in the rat while iron deficient and following iron repletion. In order to understand the specific effect of iron on the hippocampus, we will begin to identify potential transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms by which iron regulates key hippocampal structural and functional proteins identified in specific aim 2.

Law Libraries are Doomed, Says Professor
As law schools are forced to tighten their belts, law libraries are getting squeezed especially hard. The future of the law library isn't merely bleak, according to law professor James G. Milles. He thinks they're doomed.
"Legal education in the United States is about to undergo a long-term contraction, and law libraries will be among the first to go," writes Mr. Milles, who teaches legal ethics and information privacy at SUNY Buffalo Law School, in a new working research paper.
He doesn't mean that they'll literally be wiped out like dinosaurs. But he expects that it won't be long before "a few schools will operate successfully without anything resembling a law library." His point is that the days of the law library being seen as a vital organ of faculty and student life — led by respected, tenured directors — are coming to an end.
"Law schools will not simply shut down or hand off their libraries—or few will. Rather, law libraries will be chipped away notch by notch, by attrition of personnel and services," he writes.
The problem isn't just about money. It's also about demand. Legal historians are "still attached to traditional law libraries," he writes, but most faculty now are doing most of their legal research electronically.
Mr. Milles says the decline of the law library would be steeper were it not for the incentives created by U.S. News & World Report's law-school rankings, which rewards schools with higher expenditures per student.
The more important formula for law schools now is calculating what matters most to them.
"Going forward, it will not be law libraries," Mr. Milles concludes. "Revenue-‐generating departments such as development, alumni relations, and career services, and perhaps status-‐enhancing programs such as law journals, interdisciplinary programs, and research centers, will be strengthened, while revenue-‐draining departments will be cut."

A South Carolina man reportedly succumbed to injuries he sustained while demonstrating the "proper" way to shoot one's self in the head.
James Gagum was pronounced dead by paramedics who arrived at his Conway home Thursday night to find the 43-year-old lying in a pool of his own blood.
According to eyewitnesses, Gagum had been watching a movie when he was inspired to "correct" a scene in which a person was presumably holding a gun to his own head.
Gagum, seated in a recliner, picked up his gun and put it to his head saying, "that's not how it's done." He then pulled the trigger several times, possibly unaware the gun was loaded.
The third time proved deadly.
A Horry County police department spox confirmed the shooting was not intentional.
Gagum is believed to be the same man who shot and killed a home invader in self-defense two years ago.
