When we posted on the apparent backroom wrangling behind the scenes by Obama Administration and the PA over the UN Security Council Resolution condemning Israel's settlement policies , we noted the flip flops by US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice.
In a Jerusalem Post report by Abu Khaled Tomah, "PA: We'll turn to UN General Assembly to stop settlements", he noted the alleged phone calls to PA President Abbas from Obama entreating him to pull their resolution condemning the Israeli 'settlement' policies. Apparently, Abbas refused. When the vote was finally held yesterday, Amb. Rice exercised the US veto and the PA resolution cratered despite the 14 in favor. Ms. Rice towed the line from President Obama's June 2009 Cairo speech that the settlements were 'illegitimate'. We gather that the striped pants and skirts brigade in Foggy Bottom have selective memories disregarding the objective of UNSC resolution 242 of November 1967, guaranteeing Israel's rights to secure borders in the disputed territories. Abbas called for "Days of Rage" over the US veto shifting the venue to the General Assembly, dominated as it is by the members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference and non-aligned allies, of which 115 support the PA resolution. Then we have the classic EU appeasers, the UK, France and Germany issuing a joint statement condemning the US veto, despite the conflicted comments of Amb. Rice. Hamas in Gaza joined the Arab 'amen corner' calling this further evidence of US support for the Israeli positions.
Watch this Press TV You Tube video of Amb. Susan Rice articulating the US position on its veto while still calling Israel's settlement position 'illegitimate'.

Joe Baldonado of Gilroy finally got his Medal of Honor on Tuesday, 64 long years after he died saving his platoon in Korea, and only after a remarkable government admission that he had been denied the nation's highest military honor because he was Hispanic.
"That's the crime of it and why we're doing it now, to rectify the situation," said Joe's brother, Charles Baldonado, shortly after meeting President Barack Obama at a White House medal ceremony.
The disturbing "situation" involved more servicemen than Joe.
In 2002 Congress ordered the Pentagon to look into whether bigotry prevented Latino, Jewish and African-American veterans from receiving the medal.
The Pentagon has not released the results of its Medal of Honor review, but the White House announced last month that it would correct the injustices and award the medals to 24 veterans from World War II, Korea and Vietnam. They include Baldonado and 16 other Latinos, one African-American and one Jew. Only three are still alive.
Now 77 and a veteran himself, Charles lives in Southern California. He said no one has explained to him who denied his brother the Medal of Honor he was recommended for shortly after his death. Joe was instead granted a Distinguished Service Cross, the second highest military honor.
"An explanation would be nice," Charles said, "but I'm not going to dwell on it. I'm not going to look back, because he's being honored right now and that's the right thing to do. I'm very grateful."
Joe Baldonado was 17 when he enlisted in the Army in 1948. The migrant farmworker family had moved to Gilroy about 1943 after living in Los Angeles and Colorado, where Joe was born. The Baldonado boys picked garlic in Gilroy and fruits in Morgan Hill. Charles said his older brother enlisted for a common reason many young, working-class men still enlist today.
"He told me he was going into the Army to get some money to buy our mother a house," said Charles, who was 13 when Joe enlisted. "That was the Mexican way. Little did he know it would cost him his life."
On Nov. 25, 1950, Cpl. Baldonado and the 2nd Platoon, Company B, of the 187th Airborne Infantry Regimental Combat Team were sitting on Hill 171 near Kang-Dong when North Korean regulars launched a strong counterattack to seize the hill.
After the platoon used up most of its ammunition repelling the first waves, the platoon leader ordered his third squad to a defensive position. Baldonado, a machine-gunner in the squad, placed his weapon in an exposed position.
According to military reports and historians, he delivered a "withering stream of fire" on the enemy, forcing the attack back again and again. Charles said his brother fired his gun from 4 a.m. to 7 a.m. Finally, the enemy stormed his lone position, killing him instantly with a grenade.
Joe was only 20 and had never married or fathered children.
"The guys that he saved, well, they had children and grandchildren," Charles said. "In all honesty, I can say that they are his children and grandchildren, too."
At the beginning of Tuesday afternoon's ceremony in Washington, Obama said, "This is going to be a long ceremony because we're going to name every name."
Obama said that of all the honorees, Baldonado was the only one whose body was never recovered.
"All they saw was a bunch of dead enemy," Charles said.
The 24 Medals of Honor awarded Tuesday totaled the highest number granted in one ceremony since World War II. Officially, Baldonado's cross was upgraded to the medal.
Ironically, Gilroy City Hall and the local veterans' hall did not have any record of Cpl. Baldonado. The city's only other Medal of Honor winner was Capt. Reginald Benjamin Desiderio. He also was killed in the Korean War -- only two days after Baldonado's death.
Charles Baldonado said the family received Joe's Distinguished Service Cross at a ceremony at Fort Ord in Monterey in 1950, enough to get him on Gilroy's radar at the time. Maybe the oversight was due to Joe's enlisting only a few years after the family moved there, or because of another reason similar to what the Pentagon might explain later.
"You know, it's because of who we were -- Mexicans, " Charles said. "But that was then and this is now. I'm not going to dwell on the past."
Gilroy spokesman Joe Kline offered another explanation, that migrant families moved around a lot and often weren't listed as city residents. However, he said modern Gilroy would be proud to add Joe Baldonado's name to the city's annual ceremony honoring local veterans.
"I'm excited about this," Kline said on hearing about Baldonado's Gilroy connection. "I guess everybody will want to claim him as a favorite son now."
Charles said he still keeps a few of Joe's old photographs and his five or six other medals on a wall at home in Apple Valley.
"Every day I pass that wall and every day he comes into my mind," he said, just before taking his seat at the White House ceremony. "It's been a very, very long time. I feel great!"

We all know Christmas is the season for giving, but Augusta's Salvation Army needs your holiday spirit now.
Donations can't come soon enough for the Salvation Army. It's only June and the center says their resources for the entire year are so depleted that they are now in a crisis.
James Williams is in the Salvation Army's substance abuse program. He works in the kitchen to give back to a program that is helping him through his darkest days.
"This is my second time here," he says. "I came last summer and took it for granted. Now I know why I am here."
And he wants to reach out to others to come and get help.
"To the ones out there like me, don't be afraid to come on in and let them help you. Look what they have done for me."
But this summer the Salvation Army needs help.
"The disaster season caused a lot of donations to be allocated to the Katrina effort, and we lost some funding at Christmastime which usually gets us through the summer months," explains Tracie Parker-Bishop of the Salvation Army.
Without extra holiday cushion money usually set aside to help this time of year, the Salvation Army needs everything: clothing, food, vehicles, and money.
Community confusion over the upcoming Kroc Center may be hurting donations.
"There seems to be a misunderstanding in the community that the Kroc Center supports our program and services, which they don't," Parker-Bishop says. "It's an entirely new facility and does not support clients that need us every day on a daily basis."
For a center down hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations, help cannot come soon enough.
"I just want to plead to the community to remember the people in need all summer long, and if they can find it in their heart, to donate," says Parker-Bishop.
If you'd like to help, you can donate to the Salvation Army by calling 706-826-7933.

SMC wrestling earns 4th-place finish in Long Island
Published: Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 12:57 a.m.
Spartanburg Methodist College wrestlers battled the snowstorm as well as their opponents in the NCJAA Eastern District tournament Saturday in Long Island, N.Y., and five qualified for the national finals later this month.
SMC, after taking a slow bus ride through the record-breaking snow — 40 minutes to go a mile and a half from the hotel to the arena — finished fourth overall in the team standings, only one point behind third-place Darton. Host team Nassau was first and Gloucester second. SMC was sixth in the seven-team event last season.
Pioneers finishing among the top four and qualifying for the national tournament Feb. 21-22 in Des Moines, Iowa, were former Boiling Springs standout Mikey Clevenger at 174 pounds, Dorman product Edward Contreras at 125, Jonathan Dykes (Marion) at 157, Trent Williams (Wando) at 165) and Daquan Wilson (Fort Dorchester) at 184. Wilson was second, while Clevenger, Dykes and Williams finished third and Contreras was fourth.
"I'm extremely excited," SMC head coach Rob Sater said. "It was fun to see all their hard work pay off."
Williams, who lost a wrestle-off with Dykes back in Spartanburg for the 157 event, gained enough weight to compete against wrestlers 20 pounds heavier and went 3-1 on the day.
SMC went 6-5 during the regular season against all four-year schools for its first winning record in more than a decade.

News 12 First at Five / Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- With the new year, comes new babies.
It was a big honor for one local family to have the first local new year's baby. For the first time in recent years, Doctors Hospital played host to the extra special delivery.
"Smile for the camera," said Gweneth Francis-Elzie, showing off the CSRA'S first baby of the new year.
"We thought I was gonna have a baby that I could use as taxes this year," she laughed. "But he had other plans. He came this morning."
While the world was watching the ball drop, the Augusta woman was in labor at Doctors Hospital.
"I had other things on my mind," she said. "It's been great but yesterday just seems like a big fog because I pushed for a little while and ended up with a C-section."
Little Eric John Antonio Elzie was born at 1:41 a.m., the area's first baby born into 2013.
"I was not expecting that. They hinted at it last night, but we really weren't sure that it would happen. I just wanted him safe and healthy is all I really wanted," Francis-Elzie said.
It's the first child for her and husband, Shawn Elzie.
"He's just a bundle of joy already," he said.
And the Elzies aren't the only ones celebrating this New Year's Day.
Parents Steve and Faith Ryan welcomed their son, Cooper Ryan, at 2:16 a.m. They already have him decked out in Notre Dame gear.
Over at the Georgia Health Sciences Medical Center, they welcomed their first baby at 6:20 a.m. Nathaniel Roman Olguin came a little earlier than planned and is only 33 weeks old. It's the third child for proud parents Stacy and Rocky Olguin of Grovetown.
They will share the same birthday and some pretty cool stories.
"I'm going to tell him I thought you were going to be a tax write-off but that didn't work out, and then I just knew he was so special so definitely being the first baby of the CSRA is a great thing for him and for us," Francis-Elzie said.
Francis-Elzie is actually a doctor herself, and said it was a little weird to be on the other side as a patient.

News 12 This Morning / Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Election Day is here. The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m .Tuesday and lines started forming early.
They say before work, lunchtime and after work are going to be the busiest times, so if you are planning to head out to the polls during those times be ready to wait a few minutes. Once you make it through the line, the whole voting process should only take 5 to 10 minutes if you are prepared.
Phones have been ringing of the hook in the Richmond County Board of Elections Office in preparation for the election.
"We have more people registered to vote now at this particular moment in time than we have ever had before in Richmond County with just over 109,000 people registered to vote," said Lynn Bailey, director of the Board of Elections.
And of those 109,000 people almost 40,000 voted early.
"By the close of business Friday we had issued close to 40,000 ballots already in Richmond County so that's a great head start for Tuesday morning, but it does tell us that there's a big interest in this election," Bailey said.
But if you are not one of those people, there are a few things you need to know as you head out to the polls.
"Have your photo ID of course, know where you're going to, know where you're polling place is," Bailey said.
There are 50 polling places in Richmond County and each person is assigned to one.
"Find out before you leave, call us or go online and look yourself up," Bailey said.
They say these races have a big draw and not just because of the presidential election.
"You've got the obvious things on the ballot such as president and congress. Big important races, but sometimes the local races are almost more of a draw because they do tend to hit more directly, have a more direct effect on you," Bailey said.
Races like sheriff, district attorney, Augusta commissioners and many more are hotly contested races on this years ballot.
"The great thing about the ballot this year is that we do have so many contested races," Bailey said. "We see election after election where the top offices on the ballot are contested, but when you get down to the more local level, you don't see a whole lot of competition there so there certainly is a big draw for voters."
Another important thing to mention is that you don't have to cast a vote for everything.
"You can vote an office, skip three or four if you don't know the people or have no interest it's totally your choice," Bailey said.
You can find the information about your polling location here:

The best times to go vote are around 10:30 a.m. or 2:30 p.m. If you are in line at 7 p.m., you will be allowed to vote.

Ricardo Nanami has worked at Volvo since 1997 when he graduated from high school. He has then had many different positions within the organisation, each of them between two to three years. He has had the possibility to work for Volvo IT, Volvo Group Business Services and Volvo Financial Services. During this time, he has enjoyed his journey across the Volvo Group.
"The great thing with Volvo here in Curitiba is that there are so many different companies within the same organisation as Volvo do Brasil is a joint Volvo Group Company."
He recently participated in something called a short- term assignment that the Volvo Group offers to employees. This is an opportunity to work abroad in another entity within the Volvo Group for three to six months and try something else, but still within your own area of expertise.
This is not only a possibility to learn a new part of the organisation, but also to increase the short-term assignment participant's work experience, provide a chance to gain international experience, enhance professional knowledge, increase market understanding, and have the possibility to network.
"I think my short term assignment really helped me to reach this position in my career; I would not have come this far without that assignment," says Ricardo. "I talked to my manager during my development plan conversation that I would like to work abroad. He then proposed that I could do a short term assignment and work in another country for three to six months. It was then arranged that I would move to the Volvo Financial Services location in Greensboro, North Carolina, USA, to support a department there for six months. I was very happy, as this was something that I had wanted to do for a long time. "
Since his short-term assignment concluded, Ricardo has gotten a new job and is working as the Centre of Expertise within the Human Resources area within Volvo Group Latin America. Having the opportunity to work in another location has been an invaluable experience for Ricardo – one that helped him to take the next step in this career. There are so many different organisations spread across the globe within the Volvo Group; therefore, there are a lot of opportunities available for gaining new experience.

need help with my own rlogind.c
I have a few quesitons regarding a version of rlogind.c that i'm hacking on. I'm not crazy enough to think that anyone will use it or distribute it, i'm just doing it as a programming exercise. I use a variation of rlogin.c, for the client, from the one in the original w.rich stevens network prog book.
The server program has a function to multiplex between the network and master-side of the pseudo terminal.This is after a function has been called which opens the master and slave of the pseudo terminal and exec()s /bin/login like so:
if(excel("/bin/login", "login", "-p", "-h", hp->h_name, "-f", user_name, (char *)0)== -1) perror("/bin/login error");
rcvstate = READING; if(child_pid == 0){ for(;;){ if(rcvstate == READING) if((pcc = read(fdm, pibuf, sizeof(pibuf))) < 0) continue; if(pcc > 1){ rcvstate = WRITING; pbp = pibuf; } if(pcc == 0) break; else if (pcc == 1 && pkcontrol(pibuf[0])) { pibuf[0] |= oobdata[0]; (void)send(connfd, &pibuf[0], 1, MSG_OOB); if (pibuf[0] & TIOCPKT_FLUSHWRITE) pcc = 0; } else if (pcc > 1 && pibuf[0] == 0 && rcvstate == WRITING){ pbp++; while((rem = pcc - (pbp - pibuf)) > 0){ if((n = write(connfd, pbp, rem)) < 0){ sleep(1); continue; } if(n == 0) break; pbp += n; } if(rem == 0) rcvstate = READING; if(n ==0) break; } else { if (pkcontrol(pibuf[0])) { pibuf[0] |= oobdata[0]; (void)send(connfd, &pibuf[0], 1 , MSG_OOB); } pcc = 0; } } /* End of for.... */ if(ignoreeof == 0) kill(getppid(), SIGTERM); exit(0); }/* End of child */ /* Parent........*/ if(signal(SIGTERM, sig_term) == SIG_ERR) perror("signal handler for protocol parent!"); rcvstate = READING; for(;;){ if(rcvstate == READING){ if((fcc = read(connfd, fibuf, sizeof(fibuf))) < 0) continue; if(fcc == 0) break; if(fcc > 0){ cc = fcc; rcvstate = WRITING; } } if(fcc > 0 && rcvstate == WRITING){ fbp = fibuf; if(fibuf[0] == magic[0] && fibuf[1] == magic[1]) { top: for(cp = fibuf; cp < fibuf+fcc-1; cp++) if(cp[0] == magic[0] && cp[1] == magic[1]) { remaining = fcc - (cp-fibuf); n = control(fdm, cp, remaining); if(n){ remaining -= n; if(remaining > 0) bcopy(cp+n, cp, remaining); fcc -= n; goto top; /* Ugly eh? ;process another `in-band' magic cookie!...*/ } } rcvstate = READING; } else{ while(( rem = cc - (fbp - fibuf)) > 0){ if((n = write(fdm, fbp, rem)) < 0) continue; if(n == 0) break; fbp += n; } if(n == 0) break; if(rem == 0) rcvstate = READING; } } } if(sigcaught == 0) kill(child_pid, SIGTERM); /* Return to caller....*/ } }
So do i have to edit /etc/ttys and put "secure" for evert ttyXY? I ran tcpdump and the only packets exchanged were the client sending the user name and the server successfully reading this and sending back an "o.k". What are the "gotchas" for /bin/login and pseudo terms talking to the network? Why might the login fail? I've tried exec()ing /bin/login with and without the "-f" flag. When i did use the "-f" flag i tried logging in as the user who was already logged in and with a user who was not already logged in! I don't know why i can't get this to work(?)
I can post the whole code of the server and/or the client if necessary. But that is kinda crazy(as is wanting to code such an application as rlogind!)
Any help/suggestions would be gratefully received
Thank you very much in advance.
Last edited by unixjingleman; 29th December 2013 at 05:24 PM. Reason: Have changed the code
And yes the firewall is off on the server, when i test the program. Also i don't use rcmd, on the client, to initiate the normal rlogin login. I just send the username to the server. The server then passes this username to /bin/login which is exec()'d as written above.
Last edited by unixjingleman; 10th June 2013 at 08:20 PM.
unixjingleman also posted this question to linuxquestions.org as:
How extremely embarrassing. The problem was i was returning from the parent after the child had been forked to do the execle of /usr/bin/login so that i wasn't wait()ing for the child or calling a function to handle the reads/writes to/from the socket/pty(ptmx).
Sorry(again) for posting such a trivial problem!

The only opportunity I--[and others at the game]--had to view an ump's underwear he had split his pants while in a crouch.
Pity the poor volunteer umps as to choosing what color to wear.
Michael..Last time I called an umpire "Hey Mike" nine "Mikes" in the stands answered.
Safer to call them all "Blue."
Proving once again, that umpiring isn't what it is cracked up to be. TM
"Split" opinions on that TM.
I should ASSume you guys won't give up your day jobs!!
Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it!
That's my problem NELL----gave it up 20 years ago.
On a more serious note, when I did Kutno last year, our deputy chief umpire for the tournament, Jason, was bound to do the Midwest Regionals. In fact, he did the plate for the championship game.
During the tournament, he arranged to have his team wear pink umpire shirts with the breast cancer awareness ribbon right below the Little League patch.
Jason umpired Little League with his aunt who--during the Regionals--was in the hospital with breast cancer. His gesture was a tribute to his aunt, and ESPN made a very nice news story of it as they covered the Midwest Championship.
I'd wear a pink shirt, as some of the profits go to the Amercian Cancer Society.
Mike CVUA
I am 100% against anyone having breast cancer. And a great place to donate is the American Cancer Society. I would wear a pink shirt to bring awareness to Breast Cancer, but without going into any detail here, I would not support, in any way, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Anyone needing details can PM me.

Ebony Flower is a beautiful black tea flower from the lower Assam region of India and consists of leaves that are hand-tied and sewn.
This flower boasts a very malty, delicate flavor with a dry finish, akin to a dry red wine. Though most tea flowers should only be infused once, the Ebony Flower can be infused up to three times and is incredibly smooth each time.
Loose tea flowers in 4 oz. bag
Black tea
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to 205 F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one Ebony Flower per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 3 - 5 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Health Benefits
Black tea contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols that aid in fighting harmful free radicals. Research shows that these free radicals can cause heart disease, cancer and increase the risk of strokes. Drinking black tea with its high antioxidant levels may help protect the body by combating harmful free radical activity.
Further health benefits of black tea may include lowering cholesterol, strengthening the immune system, promoting healthy blood vessel functionality and even protecting teeth and bones. In addition, black tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium, Manganese, potassium, calcium, and the vitamins C and K all in trace amounts.
Serve Ebony Flower to guests at tea time or with dinner in place of wine. Steep in a clear glass tea pot for maximum effect and an elegant presentation. Pairs well with buttery desserts and pastries.

SAN JOSE -- For many of the teal-clad fin fans who returned to the Tank for their team's season debut on home ice Thursday night, the past four months is a time best forgotten -- if not entirely forgiven.
With two wins already under their belt in a season halved by a labor dispute between owners and players, the Sharks came back to HP Pavilion to play the Phoenix Coyotes for the first game there since April. And, more significantly for the local economy, their followers reappeared in downtown San Jose, coming from all over the greater Bay Area to root at the stadium as well as eat, drink and make merry at surrounding bars, restaurants and nightspots.
"We were joking when we came down that we almost got lost coming here, it's been so long," said Brian Peterson, 23, who journeyed from Novato with two friends who, through eager teamwork, had just demolished a 120-ounce "beer tower" at Britannia Arms in downtown San Jose. And it was still hours before the enormous red-eyed shark head would drop to the ice. "It is so good to be back."
While posters in online forums are still fuming about the lockout and the word "boycott" is still tapped out by fans who feel they've been taken for granted, the sentiment among many who geared up and hit Santa Clara Street on Thursday ran one of two ways.
There's the "it's over; let's move on" crowd, just happy to get half a season and hope a showstopping labor dispute doesn't happen again.
Then there are those who acknowledge some bitterness remains, although they've let enough of it go that it doesn't mess with their enjoyment of the game.
"Last time it happened, I didn't watch the whole next season -- I was really hurt by it," said Chris Dong Placencia of San Francisco, referring to the complete loss of the 2004-05 season due to a labor impasse. "I feel like they say the fans are important, but for (an impasse) to happen again so quickly, it doesn't show how important they think we are."
He said there's definitely some ill feelings, but "it's difficult to find an appropriate way to express it."
"We want to support the community, the Tank, and its workers," said Placencia, adding that not attending games affects more people than the team's owners and players. "You have to think about what would be the best way to express it without hurting anyone."
Restaurateurs certainly appreciate the sentiment. Some reported sales halved or worse because of the loss of Sharks fans.
At the Poor House Bistro, one of the venues closest to the Shark Tank, owner Jay Meduri said the business took a 25 to 35 percent hit. He depends on fans headed to the game -- the old New Orleans-theme restaurant doesn't have televisions and on Thursday a blues band was entertaining a sea of teal and black.
"I've heard people with season tickets say they'll sit out the first game to make a statement, while others are ready to go," he said. "It will be interesting to see if there are any empty seats."
Longtime fans Rich Hartnett and Harry Elkins of Redwood City, who were among the growing crowd of fans headed down Santa Clara Street about an hour before showtime, are season ticket holders of the latter variety.
"The problem with a shortened season is that it's going to be hard to make it every night when you have all those games in a row," Elkins said. "But one of us will be here. They're not going to go to waste."

The Contra Costa Water District keeps a month-by-month graph that charts the average precipitation in its northern Sierra watershed. A wavy line above shows the wettest year on record, and another below shows the driest. Down at the bottom, barely detectable, is the flat line tracking 2013-14.
If it were any lower, it would fall off the page.
"It's been dry," said the district's planning manager, Jeff Quimby. "There's no doubt about that. So far this water year is shaping up to be one of the driest on record."
Dry, in this case, means 3.2 inches of precipitation in the last three months. A year ago, that total exceeded 30. An average year brings 44 inches, so there's a lot of catching up to do.
The situation is almost identical for the East Bay Municipal Utility District, even though it harvests water from a different region. Spokeswoman Andrea Pook says its Mokelumne watershed has recorded 4.5 inches -- less than one-third of what it normally expects.
Decades ago, these numbers might have been reason for alarm. The historic drought of 1976-77, which began in similar fashion, devastated farming and recreation industries, produced historic low flows in 22 streams statewide and resulted in mandatory rationing for consumers. The impact was so profound that the Department of Water Resources produced a 238-page report laying the groundwork for reform.
"People use water a lot differently than they did in 1977," Quimby said. "We've made significant investments in conservation and we use water more efficiently. We've made investments in recycled water and in offstream storage."
The Los Vaqueros Reservoir southwest of Brentwood stands as testimony to lessons learned. Originally built in the late 1980s with a capacity of 100,000 acre feet, it was enlarged by 60 percent in 2012.
"Before the original reservoir was completed," Quimby said, "we were entirely dependent on the Delta -- whatever water and water quality was available when we needed it."
Los Vaqueros currently has 130,000 acre feet, brimming with water harvested when it was cleanest and most desirable. That enormous reserve -- paid for through increased user fees -- is one reason the Contra Costa district envisions no need this year for rationing.
EBMUD anticipates no rationing in its near future, either. That's largely because consumers have embraced conservation techniques -- high-efficiency showers, low-flow toilets, drought-resistant plants -- that have reduced water demands by one-third of what they were 40 years ago. EBMUD's reservoirs currently stand at 66 percent of capacity, which is nearly normal for this time of year.
"We still have half of the rain year ahead of us," Pook said. "So even though all the news reports say that 2013 was the driest calendar year -- and that's true -- we are concerned about the whole water year. We'll know more in April. By then we'll know if we're in a bad situation for next year."
The lesson from all this is that conservation and planning works. For more tips from EBMUD, visit www.ebmud.com/watersmart. Contra Costa Water customers can sign up for a WaterSaver electronic newsletter a www.ccwater.com/conserve.
There's a reason California droughts aren't as scary as they used to be. Consumers and providers have gotten smarter.

SAN JOSE -- Walmart on Wednesday opened its newest Walmart Neighborhood Market, located in the city's Evergreen district.
"We have had a very positive response to the news that we were opening this store," said Delia Garcia, a spokeswoman for Walmart.
About 90 people will work at the store, located in the Evergreen Village Square shopping center, located just off Aborn Road. The store is about 41,000 square feet in size.
"The existing tenants really see this as a store that will be a benefit to them and provide them with more exposure to customers," Garcia said.
Arkansas-based Walmart is in a long-vacant space that Lunardi's Market once occupied.
"The square has long sought another grocery store anchor for the vacant space," said Denise Belisle, owner of Evergreen Coffee Company, one of the retailers in the shopping center. "We are excited for Walmart to join our special community."
Walmart's grocery store in Evergreen is the second such Walmart market to open in San Jose. In October, a Walmart Neighborhood market opened in southwest San Jose in a former Safeway store. That 38,000-square-foot grocery employs 90 people.
The new full-service grocery store will offer locally produced fruits and vegetables, fresh bread, meats, cheeses and prepared foods. It also will have a self-service deli and organic items.
The store also sells stationery, paper goods, pet products, hardware items and has a Celebration Station, where customers can buy gift wrap and gift bags, greeting cards and party supplies. Customers can also print their own digital photos at the store.
"We have been working to bring a grocery store anchor back to Evergreen Village Square," said Kelly Erardi, a vice president with Shapell Properties, the principal owner of the shopping center. "Walmart has stepped up to fill the void."

A King Robert promotional poster, featuring Mark Addy, and a quote that's not from the books that has proved a little controversial. Some find it "corny", but for our part, not only is it a great insight into the character—it's a sort of crudely comic statement, without any context—anyone who pauses to think about what the context might be, noting the crown on his head, will probably realize that there's something wrong with a realm whose king is enamored with violence.

It is being reported that westboro baptist church will be in town to protest Josh's funeral... Marietta we need to do something to prevent this... I'm not sure what but Josh was far to great of a person to deserve this... Furthermore the last thing this family needs is to have these idiots protesting during Josh's ceremony...

A single disagree on every kind and loving post....looks like we have a WBC spy on the Times. All I can say is this Witch will be out to honor this wonderful, brave, loving, and deeply religious man. It is called respect, tolerance, and acceptance....something this group hasn't found. It is a shame our creed is Harm None....I can think of no other group that needs to be turned into toads than them...on Duck Dynasty property at that. Thank you Josh for all you have given. I am so sorry your life was cut short too soon. May your soul rest in peace and may your family remember your light during these dark days.

We had threats from that so-called church when we lost one of our own. The local Veterans (motorcycle group) paved the way from funeral home to our local HS. The cowards never showed up. They just like to "blow".

I'd gladly do some jail time and bust some heads!! What morons!! - The only reason they have the right to assemble is because of our soldiers who fought and died TO KEEP OUR FREEDOM! If they're so involved with Christ they should act like it.

Greetings, citizens of Marietta. I am Darstin of AmeriSec. It has recently come to my attention that Westboro Baptist Church plans to picket the funeral of USMC Lance Corporal Josh Taylor. I say*****NO! Not on my watch. I ask and urge all of my brothers and sisters out there, Anonymous or not, to join us outside Marietta High School in Marietta, OH to form a human shield, no, a WALL OF HONOR to ensure Westboro's noses stay out of the proceedings. Westboro is indeed infamous for their ability to talk the talk, and not walk the walk, but regardless I choose not to take chances with matters such as this. I ask you to do the same. Join me at 8am Saturday to prepare, and show Westboro what Anonymous, AmeriSec and Marietta are capable of. Westboro, you're on my turf now. Expect us.

I am a Ride Captain with the Patriot Guard Riders. There are several things I would like to say. First this will be my 46th mission. In those 45 missions I have seen "the church" one time. They were rendered insignificant by peaceful means. We have the law and our means of handling them. We also do not use their name as they not worth the air it would take to say the name.
Secondly, the chance they will be in Marietta is remote at best. The post a schedule of where they intend to picket and Marietta is not on that schedule. The are slated to be in Kansas City, Kansas on 31 March, 2013.
The Patriot Guard has been invited to participate in the funeral and escort by the family. If any other group would like to join us in honoring our fallen hero, they are welcome.
The is a funeral for a hero that gave his life for us and our country. Try to remember that.
May God bless our nation and LCPL Taylor. May he give the family peace.

BEAVER CREEK, Colorado - A handful of ladies from the U.S. Ski Team spent this week sampling the new world championship downhill course at Beaver Creek, including hometown hero and slalom overall winner Mikaela Shiffrin.-
The course, which was cut during the summer of 2012 and will make its debut at a World Cup test event in December, will allow the women to compete in the downhill and super-G at the same spectator venue as the men during the next World Alpine Ski Championships at Beaver Creek in 2015.-
Shiffrin, an Eagle-Vail native who made a huge splash this season during her sophomore year on the World Cup circuit, said while she's not a speed skier, she found the course to be both fun and challenging.-
"It seems to flow together really nice, there's a lot of terrain, there's a lot of different elements to the hill," she said.
The course goes from the Flat Tops run, to Peregrine and an area between Golden Eagle and Peregrine near the Golden Eagle pumphouse, crosses Westfall Road and ends with a gliding section near the Red Tail jump where the course merges with the men's.
Course architect and Beaver Creek director of mountain operations Greg Johnson said that for the last decade or so, he had been thinking about an area of the mountain where a good downhill format could be held for both men and women.
"When you look around our mountain, there are very few places that fit the criteria for terrain, vertical drop and goes into the same finish," he said. "That's extremely difficult to get that all together."
The end result, downhill and super-G courses that were officially "set" (gates put in place) this week by World Cup Ladies Speed Event Race Director Jan Tischhauser, was everything Johnson had been envisioning.-
"It's really great to see the ladies here and finally see some gates set on the hill," Johnson said. " ... It was great the last couple days, because when Jan Tischhauser set the downhill, it was fun to see that his course-set matched up to our vision of it turn for turn. All the way through the-rhythm of the-course is exactly how we were thinking it would be set."
The actual ski run that the women's downhill and super-G courses will take place on has been named Kestrel, after a bird of prey.-
"We think it's one of the, if not the, steepest super-G courses in the world," said Johnson. "We think it's 34 percent average top to bottom, which is very steep for a super-G course."
Shiffrin said she didn't find the steep parts too intimidating - but with a big, sweeping left footed turn coming off the steepest, most technical part of the course, trees and A netting to filling the view and only a narrow slot to turn into, she may have been feeling more fearless than the average ski racer.
"It's not really scary ... I'm not really scared of speed," she said.-
Speed skier Stacey Cook said while the course,-especially the aforementioned section her and the other racers are calling "the slot," is intimidating, having the advantage of skiing it a few times before the World Cup test event next year will be a big advantage to her and her teammates who were out there this week.
"It's a big confidence booster," she said. "To know what we face now instead of two days before the race is big."

Instead of spamming paarsand's thread, I figured I'd start my own...
I'm getting a stutter on any video that I watch with Mencoder. It will play for a few minutes, when suddenly the video drops out while the audio continues, and then audio cuts out while the video stream catches up. The stutters last anywhere from about 2-15 seconds. Doesn't seem to matter if the streams are high/low def. I have only been able to watch a few movies with TSMuxer, but they worked perfectly.
I have a Core2Quad, 2GB ram (really should upgrade that), 32bit Vista, 100mb all-wired connection on an open firmware (tomato) Linksys router. I have my comp set on a dmz, and I've tried setting both the computer and ps3 to 100mb full duplex, instead of auto. I've turned off all major background-processes, like utorrent. I used to stream fine with my trusty old XBox and XBMC (recently deceased ).
I've attached my debug.log.
Thanks in advance!

Kansas Governor Sam Brownback and Kansas Secretary of Agriculture Dale Rodman raised concerns regarding United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack's recent comments regarding the sequester process to furlough Food Safety and Inspection Service personnel in a letter Thursday.
Vilsack announced earlier this month that USDA might furlough Food Safety Inspection employees for 15 days to help achieve cost reductions required by sequestration.
In the letter, Governor Brownback emphasized that "failing to provide these inspections will negatively impact consumers, farmers and ranchers, meat processors and their employees." Additionally, the letter strongly encourages Secretary Vilsack "to seek options other than furloughing front-line safety inspectors to meet USDA's spending reduction obligations."
Full text of the letter may be seen below.
Dear Secretary Vilsack:
Your recent comments indicating the sequester process will necessitate furloughing Food Safety and Inspection Service personnel causes great concern for me and many other Kansans. Under the Federal Meat Inspection Act and related legislation, USDA is charged with providing federal inspection of meat, poultry and egg products. Failing to provide these inspections will negatively impact consumers, livestock producers, meat processors and their employees.
Without federal inspectors in place, Kansas meat processing plants will be forced to close as production, processing and interstate distribution of meat products without inspection is prohibited. Without access to these plants, livestock producers will be unable to market their animals in a timely manner, creating an excess of market-ready livestock. In addition, consumers will face limited meat supplies and potentially higher prices .
Kansas beef producers market nearly 25% offed cattle each year. Your agency estimates these furloughs will lead to more than $10 billion in production losses. It is clear this action will lead to lost production in the hundreds of millions of dollars for Kansas producers.
I strongly encourage you to seek options other than furloughing front-line safety inspectors to meet USDA's spending reduction obligations. The costs of these proposed furloughs to consumers, livestock producers, meat processors and their employees warrant focusing your efforts in other areas.
Sam Brownback
State of Kansas

Ethan Hawke hates the Oscars.
Hawke, who was nominated for best supporting actor at the 2002 ceremony for "Training Day" and also received an adapted screenplay nomination at the 2005 ceremony for "Before Sunset," blasted the Academy Awards in an interview with Gotham Magazine.
"People want to turn everything in this country into a competition," Hawke said. "It's so asinine ... if you look at how many forgettable, stupid movies have won Oscars and how many mediocre performers have Oscars above their fireplace. Making a priority of chasing these fake carrots and money and dubious accolades, I think it's really destructive."
Destructive? What, like drone attacks?
According to the Huffington Post, Hawke's comments, including the remark about "fake carrots," are similar to ones Joaquin Phoenix made last year.
"I think it's bull(expletive)" Phoenix said about the Oscars, in an interview with Interview magazine. "I think it's total, utter bull(expletive), and I don't want to be a part of it. I don't believe in it. It's a carrot, but it's the worst-tasting carrot I've ever tasted in my whole life. I don't want this carrot. It's totally subjective. Pitting people against each other ... It's the stupidest thing in the whole world."
Is it stupider than kicking puppies? I bet he wouldn't say it's stupider than kicking puppies.
By the way, Phoenix is nominated at the Oscars 2013 ceremony for his role in "The Master."
Anthony Hopkins is another actor who has slammed the Academy Awards. "People go out of their way to flatter the nominating body and I think it's kind of disgusting," Hopkins told the Huffington Post. "That's always been against my nature."

This summer was an exciting one: Movable Type 4.0 was released, Movalog was redesigned with a gorgeous new look and I was ready with a series of updates for many of my plugins. But after a flurry of plugin releases, activity waned. In fact, several plugins were left in a state of perpetual beta, and even more plugins were left finished, but unreleased, in my code repository. Why? In September, for the first time in my life, I set my feet on American soil as I became a college freshman at UCSD majoring in Computer Science (shockingly enough)!
But in between then and now there was even bigger news... For as long as I can remember, the ability to add custom fields to store meta data has been one of the most requested features of Movable Type. During the run-up to MT 4.0, this was confirmed with a public poll where custom fields functionality was easily the winner for the "which feature should be built in" question. With the results, Byrne Reese officially stated that it was something Six Apart was considering for a future release of MT 4.x.

SAN ANTONIO – McNeese State scored two runs in each of the first four innings and carried that momentum to an 11-3 win over the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi softball team in the opening round of the 2012 Southland Conference Softball Tournament. Mickayla Heller delivered three hits in a losing effort for the Islanders.
The Islanders will now play UTSA on Saturday morning at 11:30 a.m. The contest will be the first elimination game of the double-elimination tournament. Click here for the updated tournament schedule.
Claire Terracina went 3-for-4 and scored four runs for the Cowgirls, while four other players had multi-hit games for McNeese. In addition to Heller's three hits for the Islanders, Cassie Redman delivered a pair of singles and Meagan McKinney scored two of the Islanders' three runs.
Tiffany Denham got the win for McNeese, scattering seven hits and two walks over six innings, as all three runs she allowed were unearned. Greta Cecchetti struggled in the circle, surrendering six hits and three walks in 2 2/3 innings to collect the loss.
The Cowgirls got out to a quick start with two runs each in the first and second innings. In the opening frame, two walks and two errors produced a pair of runs with the benefit of just one hit to make it a 2-0 McNeese State lead. In the second, the Cowgirls got a leadoff double followed by an infield single, then an RBI grounder made it 3-0. Later in the frame, an RBI fielder's choice pushed the lead to 4-0.
The Islanders struck back with two runs in the top of the third. An error was followed by a Cassie Redman single, then a sacrifice by Hannah Schwarz put two runners in scoring position with one away. A Meagan McKinney walk loaded the bases for Laura Phillips with one down, and the designated player ripped a grounder to third. The third baseman got a force out at the plate, but the relay to first sailed down the right-field line, scoring both Redman and McKinney to chop the lead in half at 4-2.
McNeese State scored two more in the bottom of the third with a two-out rally. Claire Terracina started the rally with a double to deep center to knock in a run, then Lauren Langner knocked in a run on a single up the middle to make it 6-2. In the top of the fourth, the Islanders rallied to load the bases, but Schwarz was robbed on a diving catch by Marissa Koetting to end the frame.
It was another two-out rally for McNeese in the fourth that pushed the lead to 8-2. A walk and a single put two on with two away, then Dani Price drove them both home with a double to left. The Islanders bounced back in the top of the fifth to get a run back, though. The first two players reached on a single and an error, but the next two batters were retired on a flyout and a groundout. Heller then came through with her third hit of the day, ripping a single to left to bring in a run and make it 8-3.
A Katie Roux solo homer in the bottom of the sixth pushed the lead to 9-3 for the Cowgirls, then McNeese scored two more runs with two outs in the frame to end the game in six innings. Alanna DiVittorio and Ashley Modzelewski delivered the final two base hits, each knocking in a run to close out the game in six innings.
