"We need to be in the event business."
That's the new mission statement of NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt, who believes broadcast television has to swing for the fences in order to stem its ongoing decline in ratings.
Along those lines, NBC on Saturday announced plans at the Televisions Critics Association press tour for four splashy projects, including a four-hour saga about Hillary Clinton starring Oscar nominee Diane Lane in the title role.
Also in the NBC pipeline: A four-hour "update" of "Rosemary's Baby" and "Stephen King's Tommyknockers," along with a limited series called "Plymouth," about the Pilgrims' journey across the Atlantic. The latter project is being produced by Mark Burnett, who is also doing a sequel to his highly successful miniseries, "The Bible," for NBC.
As for his network's stagnant ratings, Greenblatt pointed out that, at least NBC is holding fairly steady while other broadcast rivals experience dips.
"Flat is the new up," he proclaimed.
Other highlights from the NBC executive session:
-- Greenblatt defended the network's timing of the late-night transition between Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon, even in the face of a recent ratings surge for Leno.
He said the ratings boost for Leno was predictable ("Fans are going to rally for him" in his final year) and that Fallon is "seasoned and ready to go."
Greenblatt said NBC also very much wanted to tie the move to the upcoming Olympics, which will serve as a promotional "booster rocket." He added that he wants Leno to remain some kind of presence with NBC, a la Bob Hope.
-- The NBC boss expects a "huge initial turnout" for "The Michael J. Fox Show," but hopes it can maintain some momentum beyond that. "Comedy is frustrating," he said, referring to the disappoingting cancellations of "The New Normal" and "Go On."
Added NBC Entertainment president, Jennifer Salke: "The tolerance for shows struggling is shorter than it's ever been. It's frustrating that you can't take the time to nurture a show the way you might want to."

UPDATE2: The trip to CHOP has been cancelled. My sister's precious little team green baby will be entering and leaving this world within the next week. She will be induced at a nearby hospital. It's weird when hope is pulled out from under you. She is strong and has many more trials ahead. Any suggestions on a type of memorial tribute gift we could prepare would be much appreciated.
UPDATE: The level II with the MFM showed that the baby has a CCAM (Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a congenital disorder similar to bronchopulmonary sequestration. In CCAM, usually an entire lobe of lung is replaced by a non-working cystic piece of abnormal lung tissue. This abnormal tissue will never function as normal lung tissue.) The biggest problem is that it is VERY large. It is displacing the heart and protruding into the stomach and kidneys. She has been referred to a specialist at Children's of Philadelphia to discuss in utero surgical options. They most likely cannot afford that and the success rate is not the best anyway. She works with micro-preemies as a pediatric physical therapist, many with very little quality of life and she is afraid for her baby being one of them. If they do nothing the baby will most likely pass within in the next 6 weeks or so. We can still always pray for a miracle right? Stranger things have happened. Please keep her in your prayers. Thank you for all of your support and kind words today.
ORIGINAL POST: My sister who is due March 30th (1 day after my twins are due) had her anatomy scan yesterday. It was incredibly brief and my sister was very annoyed that the lady gave her a picture of the back of a head and it was 8 minutes long. Well, today she got a call from the Dr's office that she needs to go to the specialist for a level II because they found some anomalies.
They said they found some sort of mass or tumor on the baby's heart and some anomaly with the kidneys. She has no idea what this is. Luckily, it pays to know people because she is going to the hospital to get scanned right away by the lead mfm. They told her there were no appointments until next week but we didn't take that well ;) So after a few phone calls she's going today.
I guess I'm looking for outcomes people experienced with this. Can the regular in office equipment be wrong? Can it be calcium deposits? If it is tumors what kind of prognosis have you experienced?
If you don't have experience with this, prayers are also always welcome!

000 WTNT44 KNHC 210831 TCDAT4 REMNANTS OF DANIELLE DISCUSSION NUMBER 7 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL042016 400 AM CDT TUE JUN 21 2016 Surface data over east-central Mexico indicate that Danielle no longer has a well-defined low-level circulation. Satellite imagery also shows that deep convection, primarily associated with the cyclone's mid-level center, has also vanished overnight. Therefore Danielle is declared dissipated, and this is the last advisory. Global models show the remnants of Danielle quickly moving west- southwestward or southwestward across south-central and southwestern Mexico today to the south of a strong mid-level ridge of high pressure centered over the southwestern United States. The remnants could emerge in the eastern Pacific waters to the southwest of Mexico on Wednesday before losing their identity. Danielle's remnants should continue to produce heavy rains over portions of south-central and southwestern Mexico today, especially around the time of peak diurnal heating. These rains could cause localized flash flooding and mud slides across the region.

Mark Hamill said he, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford are all in talks with Disney about returning for the next "Star Wars."
"They're talking to us," Hamill told Entertainment Tonight. "George (Lucas) wanted to know whether we'd be interested. He did say that if we didn't want to do it, they wouldn't cast another actor in our parts -- they would write us out. We're in the stage where they want us to go in and meet with Michael Arndt, who is the writer, and Kathleen Kennedy, who is going to run Lucasfilm. Both have had meetings set that were postponed -- on their end, not mine. They're more busy than I am."
What I want to know is: Can they get the ewoks back? That's sort of vital.
It's not clear how much Hamill knows about the evolving plot of Episode VII, but he did share his own speculation. "I'm assuming, because I haven't talked to the writers, that these movies would be about our offspring -- like my character would be sort of in the Obi-Wan range (as) an influential character," he said. "When I found out (while making the original trilogy) that ultimate good news/bad news joke -- the good news is there's a real attractive, hot girl in the universe; the bad news is she's your sister. I thought, 'Well, I'm going to wind up like Sir Alec (Guinness). I'm going to be a lonely old hermit living out in some kind of desert igloo with a couple of robots.'"
So that's what happened to Mark Hamill.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Hamill wants as many of the original cast members to return as possible: "Another thing I'd want to make sure of is -- are we going to have the whole gang back? Is Carrie and Harrison and Billy Dee (Williams) and Tony Daniels, everybody that's around from the original (returning)? I want to make sure that everybody's on board here, rather than just one."
I don't think Peter Cushing is going to make it.
Hamill also said he hoped director J.J. Abrams and Disney would go back to the original trilogy in an aesthetic sense. "I said to George that I wanted to go back to the way it was, in the sense that ours was much more carefree and lighthearted and humorous -- in my opinion, anyway," Hamill said. "I hope they find the right balance of CGI with practical effects. I love props, I love models, miniatures, matte paintings -- I'm sort of old school. I think if you go too far in the direction of CGI it winds up looking like just a giant a video game, and that's unfortunate. If they listen to me at all, it'll be, 'Lighten up and go retro with the way it looks."
God bless you, Luke Skywalker.
It's not clear if any returning actors would be central to the story. According to Entertainment Weekly, a source close to cast contract negotiations said that a script needs to be finished before talks progress, saying, "It will not be for weeks and perhaps months."

The Aviation Division is staffed with a Commander, Helicopter Flight Operation Supervisor, Fixed Wing Supervisor,
Director of Maintenance, fourteen sworn Deputies, five Civilians, two instructor pilots and an Administrative Coordinator. The
Division is a 24 hour a day 7 days a week operation.
The Aviation Division has four helicopters and two fixed-wing aircrafts. Our premier
helicopter is a Bell 407 with a call sign of "FOX 1." This helicopter is
equipped with FLIR (Forward Looking Infra Red), stabilized binoculars, Ultichart moving
map and an SX-5 night sun spotlight. This helicopter performs direct patrol, search and
rescue operations, narcotics surveillance and photo missions.
In addition, the Aviation Division operates "FOX 4," a Bell
Military OH-58. The helicopter was acquired in 1996 from the Defense Reutilization
Program. It was completely rebuilt and placed into service in July, 1988. This aircraft
is also used for direct patrol, search and rescue operations, narcotics surveillance and
photo missions.
"FOX 5" is a Schweitzer TH-55 helicopter. The Sheriff's
Office acquired eight of these aircrafts from the Defense Reutilization Program.
One of the eight helicopters acquired has been fully restored by the Maricopa County
Sheriff's Office and is the primary training aircraft for MCSO Aviation personnel.
This is the same type of aircraft used by the military to train pilots
since the 1960's.
On the fixed wing side we operate two aircraft: a single engine Cessna 206
and a twin engine PA-31 Piper Navajo. Both aircraft are housed at our Glendale Hangar and
as a cost saving measure are primarily used for extraditing fugitives from other states across
the U.S. as well as narcotics and smuggling surveillance missions.
In November of 1986, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office sent representatives to California to examine several successful
law enforcement canine programs. As a result, the current Sheriff's Office Canine Unit was formed. Since 1986, this unit has
been recognized nationally for its excellence. In fact, the unit conducts several POST certified 320-hour canine training academies each
year. In these academies, handlers and canines are trained and certified for not only our agency, but many surrounding departments as well.
Upon completion of the canine academy, the canine teams then receive ten hours weekly in-service
proficiency training. The Sheriff's Office has four in-house trainers. The Unit utilizes imported animals and the German
method of training. Breeds utilized are German & Czechoslovakian Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Labrador Retrievers,
and Bloodhounds. A thorough selection process is used to select both the handler and the canine. During the selection of
the canine, the trainer rates certain desirable traits and drives, temperament, age of the canine, and any former training.
If accepted, the canine must then pass a very thorough medical exam.
The Sheriff's Canine Unit is comprised of 25 canines with various specialties. The unit currently has three single purpose narcotic detection
canines teams, one dual purpose narcotic and tobacco products detection team, 13 dual purpose narcotic detection and patrol teams, one single
purpose patrol team, dual purpose patrol and explosive ordinance detection teams, three single purpose trailing teams, and one cadaver detection
team. The unit is comprised of one Lieutenant, two Sergeants, 12 Deputies, and 8 Detention Officers.
Our patrol dogs are trained in building searches, area searches, officer protection, crowd control, trailing, and provide a strong psychological deterrent to certain types of criminal misconduct. Our cadaver canine is trained to find and passively alert on decaying human tissues, bones, and fluids. Our bloodhounds are utilized to track down suspects and locate missing or lost individuals.
Vehicles utilized by the canine unit are 4 X 4 four-door Chevrolet
Tahoes. They are equipped with aluminum inserts to protect the
canine and the interior of the vehicle, heat alarms to monitor the
vehicles inside temperatures, and even remote door poppers for rapid
deployment of patrol canines.
The canines also have bullet and stab protection via a kevlar
vest. The vests are manufactured by International Armor and were
donated by several citizens that reside in Maricopa County.
They weigh only approximately two pounds and are utilized during
high-risk missions.
Canine team members typically work patrol operations during peak activity hours,
usually from about 6 PM to 4 AM. They also augment SWAT operations; provide contractual services for narcotic detection at several
local schools; provide narcotic and explosive ordinance detection for not only our office, but for other local, state, and federal
agencies; they are on call 7 days a week 24 hours a day, and conduct over 100 public relations demonstrations annually.
The utilization of police canines provides law enforcement with a non-lethal means of apprehending dangerous criminal offenders; detecting intruders and alerting handlers to their presence; pursuing, attacking and holding criminal offenders who resist apprehension; searching and clearing buildings and large open areas for criminals; tracking lost children or other persons; detecting the presence of certain narcotics, explosives, and tobacco products; locating deceased subjects, crime scenes, and minute physical evidence; and provide a strong psychological deterrent to certain types of criminal misconduct.
The Tactical Operations Unit (T.O.U.) is a full-time unit which has the responsibility of
answering to sensitive, potentially life-threatening situations utilizing specialized equipment
and tactics to resolve them in as peaceful a manner as possible. This responsibility requires
a great deal of training and readiness. Some situations may include: high-risk warrant service,
hostage rescue, building searches for dangerous suspects, the apprehension of armed/barricaded
suspects and the tracking of, and search for, escaped prisoners or violent criminals.
The Tactical Operations Unit has the ability to conduct operations in both rural and urban areas.
Selected personnel assigned to the unit are trained for and are required to respond to incidents
involving the disposal of hazardous devices and explosives.
The Tactical Operations Unit is also responsible for providing law enforcement support to all
components of the Sheriff's Office upon request. This includes: dignitary protection,
DUI enforcement, burglary suppression patrols, surveillance operations,
marijuana eradication activities, warrant service, clandestine drug lab seizures, civil process
service, witness protection, court security and conducting training for law enforcement personnel.
T.O.U. is a primary responder for natural disasters, civil and jail disturbances, incidents
involving mass casualties and emergency situations at the Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant. The
unit also assists the Lake Patrol Division during underwater search and recovery operations in
the County.
During the past three years, the Tactical Operations Unit has responded to more than 300
tactical situations. All were resolved without serious injury to citizens, officers or criminals.
The majority of the tactical responses involved armed suspects, drug offenders, mentally impaired
individuals and/or domestic violence situations.
T.O.U. has been very successful in utilizing negotiation techniques and specialized equipment to resolve these incidents
peacefully. On occasion, suspects of violent crimes have also barricaded themselves in a building in an attempt to evade
capture. The unit is prepared to deal with these incidents effectively and with great emphasis on safety.
The Sheriff's Office recognizes that the citizens of Maricopa County expect that high priority be given to situations
which create a high risk to them. In addition, tactical capability is an important part of any professional law enforcement
agency. The primary goal of the Tactical Operations Unit is to reduce or eliminate risk to the public by being prepared to
respond to a wide variety of tactical situations. A dedicated, advanced tactical capability reduces liability and
minimizes negative citizen perception when force must be used to protect life.
T.O.U. members are equipped with readily deployable equipment that includes: unmarked patrol vehicles with
specialized communications equipment, special protective clothing, highly protective body armor, bullet resistant
helmets, self-contained breathing apparatus, distraction devices, gas masks, tear gas, less-lethal munitions,
submachine guns, night vision devices, precision sniper rifles, door openers, high angle rescue equipment, bullet
resistant shields and specialty breaching explosives. Other equipment such as hostage communications equipment,
attic search lights and camera, extra body armor for trapped person evacuations, an extensive medical trauma first
aid kit, night surveillance devices and other specialized equipment are transported to the scene in a specially
equipped van.
The unit also utilizes armored vehicles to provide protection when entering hostile zones. One of the vehicles
is a customized 1990 V-150S "Commando" received through the Arizona Counter Drug Procurement Program at no cost.
Several of the department's paramedics regularly respond with the team to provide advanced life support within the inner
perimeter. Additionally, two of the team members are emergency medical technicians. Fire departments and ambulance services
will not respond to render emergency medical aid at the scene of an unstable tactical incident. Therefore, the team must be
prepared to render as much medical assistance as possible until medical personnel can safely enter the area.

I've been building a lot of Docker containers recently, using my
Dockerfile framework. Building Gentoo containers from a
seed stage3 is nice, but debugging iterations are a bit slow when you
have to fetch all the source from distant the mirrors. To work around
this problem, I've written package-cache which handles on-demand
caching for content from the Gentoo mirrors. Now you can setup a
locale distfiles cache as easily as you can already setup an rsync
mirror for the Portage tree. I've added a
net-proxy/package-cache package to my wtk
overlay, and the
README (on PyPI) has
instruction on setting this up locally. There are also some
Docker-specific notes in my dockerfile repository.

That's a lot of stuff! Define your dependencies for reuse with a bower.json file:
"name": "myproject",
"version": "0.0.1",
"dependencies": {
"bootstrap": "3.0.0",
"d3": "3.3.4",
"requirejs": "latest"
Now that you've listed the dependencies, Bower no longer thinks they are "extraneous":
$ bower list
bower check-new Checking for new versions of the project dependencies..

Salt is a remote execution and automated deployment system. It's great for running your own clusters once your website outgrows a single box. If you get bored of running your own boxes, you can use salt-cloud to provision minions on someone else's cloud (Amazon EC2, Linode, …). You can install Salt on Gentoo with:
# USE=git emerge -av app-admin/salt
Usually you'll have one master, and a host of minions
running salt daemons that locally execute commands sent from the
master. After setting up BIND so
salt (the default master
name) resolves to your development box, you should be
able to run:
# rc-service salt-master start
# rc-service salt-minion restart
# salt-key -L
Accepted Keys:
Unaccepted Keys:
Rejected Keys:
# salt-key -A
The following keys are going to be accepted:
Unaccepted Keys:
Proceed? [n/Y] y
Key for minion devbox.example.net accepted.
If you were not confined to the local box, it would be wise to compare the proposed key:
# salt-key -p devbox.example.net
with that on the minon itself:
# cat /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pub
before accepting the key.
Once you have accepted the minon, ping it:
# salt '*' test.ping
Then you can browse through all of the available goodies:
# salt '*' sys.doc
Once you've had some fun reading about those, it's time to configure
your state tree. For a quick intro, we can just borrow the
salt-state example repository. The salt state data is
conventionally kept in
/srv/salt, which seemed odd to me, but does
indeed follow the FHS.
# mkdir /srv/
$ git clone git://github.com/saltstack/salt-states.git
# mv salt-states /srv/salt
This leaves
/srv/salt owned by my personal user (instead of root),
because as much as I love Git, I'm not going to run it as root.
Once you've got a state tree in
/srv/salt, you can mock-install the
configured state for each node. It's always a good idea to test your
commands before you run them, to make sure they won't do
something wonky.
# salt '*' state.highstate test=True
State: - file
Name: /etc/hosts
Function: comment
Result: None
Comment: File /etc/hosts is set to be updated
State: - file
Name: /etc/hosts
Function: uncomment
Result: True
Comment: Pattern already uncommented
State: - cmd
Name: date > /tmp/date
Function: run
Result: None
Comment: Command "date > /tmp/date" would have been executed
You can also install a particular sub-state on a particular minon (again, I'm showing the testing version):
# salt 'devbox.example.net' state.sls python,ssh.server test=True
State: - pkg
Name: openssh
Function: installed
Result: False
Comment: Package category missing for "openssh" (possible matches: net-misc/openssh).
State: - pkg
Name: python-mako
Function: installed
Result: False
Comment: Package category missing for "python-mako" and no match found in portage tree.
The comments (Package category missing for…) mean that the salt-states repository hasn't been updated to recent versions of Salt (0.12+), which require fully qualified package names.
You can also install a particular ID declaration on a particular minon (again, I'm showing the testing version):
# salt 'devbox.example.net' state.sls python,ssh.server test=True
For single-box testing, you can also skip the master node, running
commands on a masterless minion by using
--local instead of
salt '<target>' in your Salt invocations:
# salt-call --local state.highstate test=True
State: - file
Name: /etc/hosts
Function: comment
Result: None
Comment: File /etc/hosts is set to be updated
Because you don't have a master passing you state,
--local calls
require you to have the state stored on your local box (in
by default). It's hard to imagine using Salt without storing state
anywhere ;).
It's also possible to run Salt as a non-root user, but I haven't looked into that yet.
Docker is a tool for managing Linux containers (LXC). LXC allows you to provision multiple, isolated process-spaces on the same kernel, which is useful for creating disposable development/staging/production environments. Docker provides a sleek frontend for container managerment. Like Salt Stack, it uses a daemonized manager with a command-line client.
To avoid the aufs3 dependency, I wanted Docker v0.7+. The main portage tree is currently at Docker v0.6.6, so I installed the docker overlay:
# layman -a docker
I also wanted Go v1.2+ to avoid a "slice bounds out of range" on /usr/lib/go/src/pkg/archive/tar/writer.go:233 (fixed upstream in 0c7e4c4, archive/tar: Fix support for long links and improve PAX support, 2013-08-18. Thanks to Jonathan Stoppani for help figuring this out). That version is not in the main Portage tree yet, but it is in the OSSDL overlay:
# layman -a OSSDL
After that, installing Docker on Gentoo is the usual:
# emerge -av app-emulation/docker
After reading through a few docs about IP forwarding, I determined that my internal development box could safely enable IP forwarding, which containers use to connect to the outside network. I enabled it for subsequent reboots:
# echo net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 > /etc/sysctl.d/docker.conf
I also had to enable the following additional kernel options (as
suggested by
CONFIG_MACVLAN. There's also the convenient
script distributed with app-emulation/lxc, which pointed out
the need for
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR (renamed to
in c255a45 (memcg: rename config variables, 2012-07-31),
released in Linux v3.6,
lx-checkconfig was updated in c93c7b1, Fix
checkconfig to handle kernel memory cgroup name change,
2012-11-14, released in LXC v0.9.0) and
On top of those,
app-emulation/docker recommended
CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_MASQUERADE (since
045eb9f (another necessary kernel flag, 2013-12-09), in a
fast response to my comment), and
CONFIG_DM_THIN_PROVISIONING. These are the new docker-supporting
lines in my
.config for Linux v3.10:
After that, I rebuilt my kernel, rebooted into the new kernel, and started the daemon with:
# /etc/init.d/docker start
Command line usage
Docker does a good job with interactive help:
$ docker

attach Attach to a running container
build Build a container from a Dockerfile
commit Create a new image from a container's changes
Docker images are archived for easy reuse, so it's likely someone has the image you need (or a good start) already built. Docker's images consist of a number of layers on top of the base image:
$ docker pull learn/tutorial
Pulling repository learn/tutorial from https://index.docker.io/v1
Pulling image 8dbd9e392a964056420e5d58ca5cc376ef18e2de93b5cc90e868a1bbc8318c1c (precise) from ubuntu
Pulling image b750fe79269d2ec9a3c593ef05b4332b1d1a02a62b4accb2c21d589ff2f5f2dc (12.10) from ubuntu
Pulling image 27cf784147099545 () from tutorial
The image has everything needed by a process (filesystem, system libraries, …), so you spin up the container by specifiying an image and target command.
$ docker run learn/tutorial echo hello world
hello world
Changes made to a container are preserved between runs:
$ docker run learn/tutorial apt-get install -y ping
You can checkpoint changes by committing, which adds a new layer:
$ docker ps -l
6982a9948422 ubuntu:12.04 apt-get install ping 1 minute ago Exit 0
$ docker commit 6982a99 learn/ping

And you can push your local images to the repository:
$ docker images

$ docker push learn/ping
You can also run interactive shells:
$ docker pull ubuntu
$ docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
You can also set environment variables, which are useful for customizing generic images:
$ docker run -e HOST=example.net -e PORT=1234 ubuntu
Instead of building containers manually, you can also specify them with a Dockerfile (spec):
$ cat gentoo-portage/Dockerfile

You can't currently set the description (returned by
docker search
…) from the
Dockerfile, although there are some
proposals to add this feature.
You can mount volumes from the
Dockerfile using VOLUME, but it
doesn't support host mounts. For those you have to
use the -v option when you invoke
docker run …:
$ docker run -i -t -v /usr/portage:/usr/portage:ro -v /usr/portage/distfiles:/usr/portage/distfiles:rw wking/gentoo-portage /bin/bash
Docker sets up a
docker0 bridge between the host's network and the
containers. Docker tries to guess an IP range that does not conflict
with your local network, but it's not omniscient. Until
1558 is fixed, you're best bet is to set up your own bridge. If
you already have a
docker0 bridge:
$ ip addr show dev docker0
5: docker0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN
link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.0.42.1/16 scope global docker0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
then you can just change it's address:
# ip addr del 10.0.42.1/16 dev docker0
# ip addr add 172.31.42.1/16 dev docker0
If the
docker0 bridge doesn't already exist, you'll have to create
it yourself:
# brctl addbr docker0
# ip addr add 172.31.0.1/16 dev docker0
# ip link set dev docker0 up
If you want to start over from scratch, you can stop docker and remove the bridge:
# /etc/init.d/docker stop
# ip link set dev docker0 down
# brctl delbr docker0
You can link containers by name:
$ docker run -d -name redis crosbymichael/redis
$ sudo docker run -link redis:db -d -name webapp me/someapp
This links
webapp to
redis using the alias
DB_PORT (and
similar) environment variables are set in the
webapp container,
which it can use to connect to
redis container. You can also use
ambassadors to link containers on separate hosts.
eCryptfs is an encrypted filesystem for Linux. You'll need to
have a kernel with the
ECRYPT_FS module configured to use eCryptfs.
Once you have the kernel setup, install the userspace tools
sys-fs/ecryptfs-utils on Gentoo, where you may want to enable
USE flag to allow non-root users to mount their private
$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep ECRYPT_FS
# echo 'sys-fs/ecryptfs-utils suid' >> /etc/portage/package.use/ecryptfs
# echo 'sys-fs/ecryptfs-utils ~amd64' >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/ecryptfs
# emerge -av sys-fs/ecryptfs-utils
# modprobe ecryptfs
eCryptfs is usually used to maintain encrypted home directories, which
you can setup with ecryptfs-setup-private. I used
because I'm not using the PAM module for automounting. Other
than that, just follow the instructions. This sets up a directory
with encrypted data in
~/.Private, which you mount with
ecryptfs-mount-private. Mounting exposes the decrypted filesystem
~/Private, which you should use for all of your secret stuff.
If you don't like the
~/Private path, you can tweak
~/.ecryptfs/Private.mnt as you see fit.
$ ecryptfs-setup-private --noautomount
$ ecryptfs-mount-private
$ mkdir ~/Private/my-secret-stuff
To encrypt stuff that is bound to a specific path (e.g.
you can move the source into
~/Private and add symlinks from the
canonical location to the encrypted location:
$ mv ~/.mozilla ~/Private/mozilla
$ ln -s ~/Private/mozilla ~/.mozilla
Encrypting arbitrary directories
You can also encrypt arbitrary directories using mount. This is useful if you have private information in a PostgreSQL database.
# /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.2 stop
# mv /var/lib/postgresql{,-plain}
# mkdir /var/lib/{.,}postgresql
# chown postgres:postgres /var/lib/{.,}postgresql
# mount -t ecryptfs /var/lib/{.,}postgresql
Select cipher:
Would you like to proceed with the mount (yes/no)? : yes
Would you like to append sig [REDACTED] to
in order to avoid this warning in the future (yes/no)? : yes
Successfully appended new sig to user sig cache file
Mounted eCryptfs
# mv /var/lib/postgresql{-plain/*,/}
# rmdir /var/lib/postgresql-plain
# /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.2 start
You can also specify mount options explicitly instead of entering them
interactively. To figure out the proper incantation, look at the
mtab entry after an interactive mount:
$ grep postgresql /etc/mtab
/var/lib/.postgresql /var/lib/postgresql ecryptfs rw,ecryptfs_sig=REDACTED,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=REDACTED,ecryptfs_unlink_sigs 0 0
You should also look over the mount helper options in ecryptfs(7). Then run future mounts with:
# mount -t ecryptfs -o rw,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16,ecryptfs_enable_filename_crypto=y,ecryptfs_passthrough=n,ecryptfs_sig=REDACTED,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=REDACTED,ecryptfs_unlink_sigs /var/lib/{.,}postgresql
You can also add a line like:
/var/lib/.postgresql /var/lib/postgresql ecryptfs rw,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16,ecryptfs_enable_filename_crypto=y,ecryptfs_passthrough=n,ecryptfs_sig=REDACTED,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=REDACTED,ecryptfs_unlink_sigs,key=passphrase:passphrase_passwd_file=/home/wking/Private/ecryptfs/postgresql,noauto 0 0
to your
/etc/fstab. With a passphrase file containing:
Add the
user option to allow non-root mounts (see "The non-superuser
mounts" section in mount(8)). Once you've setup your
fstab, you can mount the directory more intuitively with:
# mount /var/lib/postgresql
Jam is a package manager for front-end JavaScript. While you
want to use npm for server-side stuff, Jam is the tool to use
for JavaScript that you'll be sending to your users. Following the
docs (with my already-configured
~/.local prefix):
$ npm install -g jamjs
Integrating with Django is a bit tricky, especially since Jam doesn't manage the CSS, images, … that are often associated with JavaScript libraries. If you need that, you probably want to look at Bower instead.
Write a setup
package.json defining your project's dependencies:
"name": "myproject",
"version": "0.0.1",
"description": "An example project"
"dependencies": {
// NPM dependencies go here…
"async": "0.1.22"
"jam": {
"packageDir": "apps/my-app/static/js/",
"baseUrl": "apps/beehive_common",
"dependencies": {
// Jam dependencies go here…
"jquery": "1.7.1",
"underscore": null
Install your dependencies with:
$ jam install
Upgrade with:
$ jam upgrade
Compile just the bits you use into a single require-able replacement.
$ jam compile apps/my-app/static/js/require.js
A while back I posted about Comcast blocking outgoing traffic on
port 25. We've spent some time with
Verizon's DSL service, but after our recent move we're back with
Comcast. Luckily, Comcast now explicitly lists the ports they
block. Nothing I care about, except for port 25 (incoming and
outgoing). For incoming mail, I use Dyn to forward mail to port
587. For outgoing mail, I had been using stunnel
outgoing.verizon.net for my SMTP connections. Comcast
takes a similar approach forcing outgoing mail through port
465 on
Start off by installing npm, the Node package manager. On Gentoo, that's:
# USE=npm emerge -av net-libs/nodejs
Configure npm to make "global" installs in your personal space:
# npm config set prefix ~/.local/
Install the Grunt command line interface for building Bootstrap:
$ npm install -g grunt-cli
That installs the libraries under
~/.local/lib/node_modules and
drops symlinks to binaries in
~/.local/bin (which is already in my
PATH thanks to my dotfiles).
Clone Boostrap and install it's dependencies:
$ git clone git://github.com/twbs/bootstrap.git
$ cd bootstrap
$ npm install
This looks in the local package.json to extract a list of dependencies, and installs each of them under node_modules. Node likes to isolate its packages, so every dependency for a given package is installed underneath that package. This leads to some crazy nesting:
$ find node_modules/ -name graceful-fs
Sometimes the redundancy is due to different version requirements, but sometimes the redundancy is just redundant :p. Let's look with npm ls.
$ npm ls graceful-fs
email@example.com /home/wking/src/bootstrap
├─┬ firstname.lastname@example.com
│ ├─┬ email@example.com
│ │ └── firstname.lastname@example.com
│ └─┬ firstname.lastname@example.com
│ └── email@example.com
├─┬ email@example.com
│ └─┬ email@example.com
│ └── firstname.lastname@example.com
├─┬ email@example.com

└─┬ firstname.lastname@example.com
└─┬ firstname.lastname@example.com
└─┬ firstname.lastname@example.com
└─┬ firstname.lastname@example.com
└── email@example.com
Regardless of on-disk duplication, Node caches modules so a given module only loads once. If it really bothers you, you can avoid some duplicates by installing duplicated packages higher up in the local tree:
$ rm -rf node_modules
$ npm install email@example.com
$ npm install
$ npm ls graceful-fs
email@example.com /home/wking/src/bootstrap
├── email@example.com extraneous
├─┬ email@example.com
│ └─┬ email@example.com
│ └── email@example.com
├─┬ email@example.com
│ └─┬ firstname.lastname@example.com
│ └── email@example.com
└─┬ firstname.lastname@example.com
└─┬ email@example.com
└─┬ firstname.lastname@example.com
└─┬ firstname.lastname@example.com
└── firstname.lastname@example.com
This is probably not worth the trouble.
Now that we have Grunt and the Bootstrap dependencies, we can build the distributed libraries:
$ ~/src/node_modules/.bin/grunt dist

Done, without errors.
Unfortunately, like all language-specific packing systems, npm has trouble installing packages that aren't written in its native language. This means you get things like:
$ ~/src/node_modules/.bin/grunt

`jekyll build` was initiated.
Jekyll output:

Aborted due to warnings.
Once everybody wises up and starts writing packages for Gentoo Prefix, we can stop worrying about installation and get back to work developing :p.
I like Git submodules quite a bit, but they often get a bad
rap. Most of the problems involve bad git hygiene (e.g. not
developing in feature branches) or limitations in the current
submodule implementation (e.g. it's hard to move submodules). Other
problems involve not being able to fetch submodules with
URLs (due to restrictive firewalls).
This last case is easily solved by using relative submodule URLs in
.gitmodules. I've been through the relative-vs.-absolute URL
argument a few times now, so I
thought I'd write up my position for future reference. I prefer the
relative URL in:
[submodule "some-name"]
path = some/path
url = ../submod-repo.git
to the absolute URL in:
[submodule "some-name"]
path = some/path
url = git://example.net/submod-repo.git
Arguments in favor of relative URLs:
- Users get submodules over their preferred transport (
https://, …). Whatever transport you used to clone the superproject will be recycled when you use
submodule initto set submodule URLs in your
- No need to tweak
.gitmodulesif you mirror (or move) your superproject Git hosting somewhere else (e.g. from
- As a special case of the mirror/move situation, there's no need to
.gitmodulesin long-term forks. If I setup a local version of the project and host it on my local box, my lab-mates can clone my local superproject and use my local submodules without my having to alter
.gitmodules. Reducing trivial differences between forks makes collaboration on substantive changes more likely.
The only argument I've heard in favor of absolute URLs is Brian Granger's GitHub workflow:
- If a user forks
username/repoand then clones their fork for local work, relative submodule URLs will not work until they also fork the submodules into
This workflow needs absolute URLs:
But relative URLs are fine if you also fork the submodule(s):
Personally, I only create a public repository (
username/repo) after
cloning the central repository (
upstream/repo). Several projects I
contribute too (such as Git itself) prefer changes via
send-email, in which case there is no need for contributors to
create public repositories at all. Relative URLs are also fine here:
Once you understand the trade-offs, picking absolute/relative is just a political/engineering decision. I don't see any benefit to the absolute-URL-only repo relationship, so I favor relative URLs. The IPython folks felt that too many devs already used the absolute-URL-only relationship, and that the relative-URL benefits were not worth the cost of retraining those developers. `
Over at Software Carpentry, Greg Wilson just posted some thoughts about a hypothetical open science framework. He uses Ruby on Rails and similar web frameworks as examples where frameworks can leverage standards and conventions to take care of most of the boring boilerplate that has to happen for serving a website. Greg points out that it would be useful to have a similar open science framework that small projects could use to get off the ground and collaborate more easily.
My thesis is about developing an open source framework for single molecule force spectroscopy, so this is an avenue I'm very excited about. However, it's difficult to get this working for experimental labs with a diversity of the underlying hardware. If different labs have different hardware, it's hard to write a generic software stack that works for everybody (at least at the lower levels of the stack). Our lab does analog control and aquisition via an old National Instruments card. NI no longer sells this card, and developing Comedi drivers for new cards is too much work for many to take on pro bono. This means that new labs that want to use my software can't get started with off the shelf components; they'll need to find a second-hand card or rework the lower layers of my stack to work with a DAQ card that they can source.
I'd be happy to see an inexpensive, microprocessor-based open hardware project for synchronized, multi-channel, near-MHz analog I/O to serve as a standard interface between software and the real world, but that's not the sort of thing I can whip out over a free weekend (although I have dipped my toe in the water). I think the missing component is a client-side version of libusb, to allow folks to write the firmware for the microprocessor without dealing with the intricacies of the USB specs. It would also be nice to have a standard USB protocol for Comedi commands, so a single driver could interface with commodity DAQ hardware—much like the current situation for mice, keyboards, webcams, and other approved classes. Then the software stack could work unchanged on any hardware, once the firmware supporting the hardware had been ported to a new microprocessor. There are two existing classes (a physical interface device class and a test and measurement class), but I haven't had time to dig through those with an eye toward Comedi integration yet. So much to do, so little time…

Catalog Offers 'Fastest Amphibious Car' for $135,000
The Hammacher Schlemmer catalog is known for selling unique products, but its vehicles tend to be especially memorable.
Over the years the company has offered a flying car, a fullsize Lightcycle based on the bikes in the film "Tron," and even an adult-size motorized version of the Green Machine riding toy of the 1970s. Now the catalog has added what it calls the world's fastest amphibious car.
Hammacher said the craft has a 300-horsepower Honda engine and can travel at speeds up to 80 miles an hour on the road and 44 mph on the water. On land it operates much like a normal car, albeit an older, rather rustic one with a folding windshield and a four-speed manual transmission. Still, it has four-wheel disc brakes, lights, turn signals and other features to make it roadworthy.
What sets it apart from other cars, of course, its ability to turn into a boat. When it is time to enter the water, a hydraulic system retracts the wheels and a specially designed transmission redirects the engine's power to a water-jet propulsion unit similar to those used on personal watercraft.
The vehicle's body is filled with flotation foam and four padded, stainless steel seats covered in marine vinyl allow use in fresh or saltwater. A 26-gallon gas tank gives it a range of 160 miles. Sticker price: $135,000.

American Electric Power is asking the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) to approve an additional monthly charge to customers' bills to help recoup money spent to recover from the costly June derecho.
"For normal storms, this is something we budget for. It's part of our normal costs. For storms like this that are unexpected, large scale storms, that is something that we, nor really any utility company budget for," said Terri Flora, director of communications for AEP.
However, some customers have balked at the thought of having to foot the power company's bill.
"If they took better care of their equipment in the first place, then they wouldn't have had so much trouble getting back online," said AEP customer Joel Freier, 60, of Barlow.
Freier said he feels very strongly that the company should not be trying to pass along the bill to customers.
Nearly half of AEP's 1.5 million Ohio customers experienced electricity outages as a result of the June 29 storm.
Fact Box
At a glance
AEP is requesting permission to pass along $61.8 million of costs incurred after the June storm to its customers.
Around 94 percent of those costs were related to paying for out-of-state crews and the rest were incurred through damaged equipment and repair costs.
If approved, the fee would raise an average customer's monthly bill 2 percent for 12 months and then the fee would no longer be in place.
The average customer would pay approximately $3 extra a month.
AEP last requested a similar reimbursement after Hurricane Ike in 2008, when customers footed an approximately $28 million recovery bill.
Belpre resident Steve Smith was one of those residents and he does not think the customers should pay for what was, in his opinion, a poor response to the storm.
"We never did see AEP for the whole six and half days we were without power," said Smith.
A South Carolina company was responsible for getting Smith's family back online, he said.
Ohio Rep. Andy Thompson, R-Marietta, said he is also concerned about reliability and response times in our area.
"I'm engaged with AEP and the local co-op folks," said Thompson, who added he hopes to have a public forum in the spring.
Thompson also suggested that the $61.8 million reimbursement figure put forth by AEP needs to be scrutinized before being accepted.
About 94 percent of those costs come from paying the out-of-state crews, such as the one who helped get Smith's power back online.
The rest of the money will help pay for equipment and repair costs. In addition, AEP already subtracted $5 million from that sum that they set aside annually for normal storm damage.
If PUCO approves the request, an average customer would pay approximately $3 more a month for 12 months.
"This is not a change in rates. We can only collect it for 12 months and then it's done. The average customer would pay about $36 a year," said Flora.
But $36 might be difficult for some families, said Marietta resident Sally Evans, 70.
Evans said she would want to know specifics about what AEP is expecting reimbursement for and what customers it would affect.
"It doesn't seem fair to charge the customers in unaffected areas," she said.
Some feel even the customers in affected areas shouldn't have to pay.
"Everybody had a loss and everybody suffered, but the electric company shouldn't have the right to start charging customers for their expense," said Marietta City Safety-Service Director Jonathan Hupp. "Where does it stop? That's the cost of doing business."
The city is not AEP's average customer. Last year the city allotted $274,000 for electric bills and surpassed that budgeted amount, said Hupp.
If AEP's Storm Recovery Act is successful and an average customer is paying an extra 2 percent, the city could find itself footing an extra $5,500 next year.
"It's money that could be used elsewhere," said Hupp, adding that the city is losing its inheritance tax and grants funds are getting harder to come by.
Flora said it's a fairly standard process for utility companies around the country to request reimbursement for large scale disasters through its customers.
"Florida, which experiences more hurricanes, has an ongoing charge on customer bills to fund storm damage," she pointed out.
AEP last requested storm reimbursement, around $28 million, in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike in 2008, said Flora.
Not all customers are opposed to helping AEP recoup the costs incurred in the aftermath of the disastrous June storm.
"I'd rather do that than see the rates go up," said Marietta resident Mary Antons, who said that AEP was fantastic while working to restore her power after the storm.
Customers are likely going to have to foot the bill either way, and the 12-month fee seems the most direct and least costly way to do that, said Antons.
PUCO has yet to decide on the request. It will likely take the commission until spring to review and accept or deny the request, said Flora.
If it approves the request, AEP can start immediately start adding the fee to customers' bills.

A 51-year-old Sacramento man was taken into custody Tuesday and booked into jail in Lodi on suspicion of carjacking, kidnapping and conspiracy in an incident that began as a vehicle sale listed on craigslist.org.
Lodi police said that on Sept. 2, a Lodi resident was expecting to meet with a couple who were interested in purchasing a vehicle he had listed for sale on craigslist.
The couple arrived at the man's Lodi home and asked to take the vehicle on a test drive. He accompanied the couple and eventually asked them to take him back to his home. They refused, and he said one of them pulled a gun on him.
He was dropped off near Galt and told police the couple fled with his car.
On Tuesday, 51-year-old Richard Harvey of Sacramento was taken into custody in connection with the incident, police reported.

Samsung Earnings: What to Watch
Samsung Electronics first-quarter results on Tuesday will show a second consecutive annual decline in operating profit as price competition among smartphone makers intensifies, eroding profits.
The company said earlier this month that its operating profit will likely come within a range of 8.2 trillion won to 8.6 trillion won ($7.9 billion to $8.3 billion), representing a decline of 2.1% to 6.6% from a year earlier. The results follow a 6% decline in operating profit in the fourth quarter, which was the company's first year-over-year drop in two years.
As the search for a new growth engine continues without much fruition, the company's near-term performance will rely heavily on how the new Galaxy S5 smartphone is taken up by customers.
Here are the key issues to watch:
How are Galaxy S5 sales faring? Analysts estimate Samsung will ship between 40 million and 50 million Galaxy S5 phones this year, more than a third of which is expected to happen during the second quarter following its official launch on April 11.
Korean carriers had jumped the gun, releasing the phone as early as March 27 without company consent, but they haven't disclosed how many smartphones they've sold since then. The company has tried to paint the picture that the S5 is selling well in global markets but there are reports of a camera glitch in the new phone, a drawback for a key hardware function Samsung has bragged about.
Analysts will be looking for hints from company executives on how well the new smartphones are selling.
Mobile margins keep falling. Analysts estimate Samsung likely shipped about 90 million units during the first quarter compared to 70.7 million units shipped a year earlier. But after almost no growth in terms of operating profits in the fourth quarter, the company's mobile unit is expected to see a 9.2% decline in first-quarter operating profit to 5.9 trillion won from 6.5 trillion won a year earlier, according to a poll of eight analysts.
In a bid to stoke demand for the Galaxy S5, the company has given the new flagship a competitive price tag, a trend that is expected to continue until the company is able to come out with a new form factor for its smartphones. Analysts expect Samsung's mobile profit margins to decline throughout the year due to price competition and marketing costs. For the first quarter they expect a profit margin of 17% to 18%, down from 19.8% a year earlier. Some see these margins dropping to as low as 15% in the fourth quarter. Analysts will be looking for more clues on how the company plans to combat the further squeeze in profits at its key mobile unit.
Legal provisions may rise. The legal dispute between Samsung and Apple is showing no signs of abating. Some analysts estimate Samsung to have set aside 300 billion won in the first quarter to cover costs from lawsuits and potential royalty payments. After acknowledging publicly for the first time that it had set aside an undisclosed sum to cover any fallout from legal disputes last year, the company has remained tight-lipped on any specific details.
Will the TV business turn around? With the anticipated increase in the adoption of ultra high-definition TVs globally, analysts are citing the company's television unit as a potential bright spot in earnings this year. Analysts say key sporting events scheduled this year such as the 2014 World Cup may help stoke demand for high resolution TVs. Hi Investment & Securities analyst Song Myung-sup sees profit margins for Samsung's consumer electronics unit reaching 6% in the fourth quarter. He estimates those margins to have risen to 3.3% in the first quarter, from just 2% a year earlier. TVs account for a chunk of the company's consumer electronics business revenue.

iNetwork Tools
inetwork tools, network administrator, port scan, scanner, ping, whois, nslookup, traceroute, spam check, ip to country, security, monitor, guardian, port search
iNetwork Tools is a collection of useful utilities that include the following:
1. Network Information – general information about your network such as: local ip, gateway ip, gateway mac, broadcast ip and external ip.
2. Whois – is a query and response protocol that is widely used for querying databases that store the registered users or assignees of an Internet resource, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system, but is also used for a wider range of other information. The protocol stores and delivers database content in a human-readable format.
3. NSLookup – tool available for many computer operating systems for querying the Domain Name System (DNS) to obtain domain name or IP address mapping or for any other specific DNS record. NSLookup uses the operating system's local Domain Name System resolver library to perform its queries.
4. Traceroute – is a computer network diagnostic tool for displaying the route (path) and measuring transit delays of packets across an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Traceroute sends a sequence of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets addressed to a destination host. Determining the intermediate routers traversed involves adjusting the time-to-live (TTL)
5. Ping – is a computer network administration utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer.
6. Spam Check – this test will check a IP address against 13 DNS based email blacklists. (Commonly called Realtime blacklist, DNSBL or RBL). If your IP address has been blacklisted, some email you send may not be delivered. Email blacklists are a common way of reducing spam.
7. IP to Country – this tool displays the country of the IP address provided.
8. Port Scan – builtin remote port scanner.
9. Port Search – this tool search the port number provided to retrieve it's common service name or application name.
10. Local Port Scan – this tool displays your local ports that are open. You will get an extra security layer by keeping an eye from hacker that could gain remote access to your Mac using the opened ports.
11. Established Connections – this tool displays your active connections. You can easy see if your Mac is connected to a third party unknown IP.

At this very moment, the 49ers are preparing for next month's college draft. So let's pretend we are in one of those pre-draft meetings.
Let's pretend, furthermore, that a potential draftee is being discussed. The guy has talent. He's strong. Fast. Great competitor.
However, the draftee also has some red-flag items on his resume. He has been arrested four times. Twice for driving under the influence. Another of the arrests involves illegal firearms, including an assault rifle. The other arrest involves creating a public spectacle while arguing with police.
Let's pretend that you are a 49er executive staring at that resume. We all know the first word you would speak:
Why, then, would the 49ers even mess around with Aldon Smith after this latest mess he's created? If it would be an easy decision about a draft pick, why is it that much tougher a decision for an active player?
Smith should become an ex-49er very soon. Immediately would be a good idea, although that's probably impossible for various bureaucratic and salary cap reasons.
At times like these, some of us veteran 49ers watchers can't resist playing the BW card. The initials would represent Bill Walsh. We all know what the late Hall of Fame coach did for the franchise and the way he operated. And it is never wrong to follow the WWBWD dictum: What Would Bill Walsh Do?
In the matter of Aldon Smith, there's no question in my mind what Walsh would do. He would find a way to make sure Smith never played a down for the 49ers again.
Let's be clear. In his day, Walsh could be as pragmatic as the next NFL coach or general manager. He employed some players with criminal records, if he thought that would help the 49ers win and if he thought they would be good teammates. Walsh would give second chances. But third and fourth chances? Can't ever remember that.
The best example may be one from Walsh's days as the 49ers' general manager in the late 1990s — specifically, the way he handled the case of Lawrence Phillips. A troubled running back, Phillips had been involved with assault cases as a college player at Nebraska and as a pro with the Miami Dolphins.
But in 1999, the 49ers were desperate for backfield help. Phillips was playing in NFL Europe and Walsh signed him up. But he explained to Phillips that at the first sign of bad behavior, he would be gone.
Phillips lasted until November. He mouthed off to assistant coach Tom Rathman and was cut. Phillips subsequently was arrested on felony assault and domestic abuses charges and is now incarcerated. But at least he wasn't a 49ers employee when all that happened.
Aldon Smith may or may not be headed in the same direction. There's enough on his docket that, if the charges are proven, a judge could surely find cause to confine him for a few weeks or months. But the 49ers would be wise to cut ties with him before he carries the team logo into any jail cell. Sunday's airport altercation at LAX was a flashing red light for so many reasons.
Smith was well aware that he's still facing courtroom visits for his last DUI incident and the weapons charges. Yet according to the reports, he still chose to verbally jostle with TSA guards and mention the word "bomb."
If you are going to commit a crime of any sort in America, non-violent or otherwise, just about the worst place to do it is inside an airport terminal. There are surveillance cameras everywhere. There are thousands of eye witnesses, any of whom could pull out a smart phone and click on a video app.
One officer involved in the LAX arrest said that Smith showed indications of having consumed alcohol, another flashing red light. He missed five games last season while in rehab following his DUI arrest.
Piled on the back of other recent 49ers law enforcement encounters, Smith's situation is beyond embarrassing for the franchise. It's mortifying. The team reportedly owes him a $3 million guarantee for the 2014 season. The 49ers should write the check, issue a sensitive statement regarding Smith's obvious personal demons, wish him well and send him on his way.
There are football reasons for doing so, as well. The last thing you want in a locker room is to have players looking over at a certain player and wondering if they can rely on him. On the field, Smith might be missed, but not as much as you'd think. He has top-tier natural pass rushing instincts and could be difficult to replace on six or seven crucial third downs per Sunday. On the other hand, because of his rehab absence last season, Smith started just eight games. He had 34 total tackles and 8.5 total sacks.
If the 49ers can't find someone in the draft or through a trade to replace 34 tackles and 8.5 sacks over the course of a 16-game season, general manager Trent Baalke isn't doing his job. The National Football League may make the 49ers decision easier by issuing a lengthy suspension to Smith, providing more cause to drop him. But before that even happens, the 49ers should say goodbye to Smith.
That's what Walsh would do. That's what any smart NFL team would do. The 49ers are not a stupid team.

SAN JOSE -- Sharks coach Todd McLellan is going back to Antti Niemi as his starting goalie for Game 7 against the Los Angeles Kings.
Niemi was pulled from Games 4 and 5 after giving up eight goals on 45 shots in both efforts. Backup netminder Alex Stalock was in goal for Game 6, a 4-1 loss that brought the series to its dramatic finale Wednesday night at the SAP Center.
"I think a break was good for Nemo," McLellan said. "He got a chance to work on some things in his game that the goaltending coaches wanted to work. He got a little chance to rest."
The coach added that he felt the Sharks "needed a change heading into game 6, heading into L.A. Unfortunately we had to pull him twice and that wasn't all on Nemo's shoulders. It's pretty evident and pretty obvious. I hope I made that clear."
Moving forward, McLellan added, Niemi was getting the opportunity as part of the core group of players the Sharks have relied on all season.
Niemi said he put the extra time between games to good use in practices and missing Game 6 should not have any effect on his confidence.

Since I had never even tasted this delectable dessert, I had no idea what I was even up against, but when I came across some of my homemade cookie dough in the freezer, I decided to wing it and see how close I could come to the "legendary" strawberry pizza. The word got back to me that while the crust was different from what they were used to, the co-irkers actually liked my version better. (Or do you suppose they tell me these things so I'll continue to send in treats perhaps?)
1 pound sugar cookie dough
1 1/2 pounds of strawberries, divided
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup corn starch
1/4 cup light corn syrup
red food coloring, optional
1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened (I used reduced fat)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll cookie dough into a 13 inch circle between two sheets of moderately floured parchment paper. Transfer cookie dough to ungreased 12 inch pizza pan. Trim any excess dough, if necessary. Bake cookie crust for 16-20 minutes or until the top is lightly browned. Let cool completely.
For the filling:
Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat well until light and fluffy.
For the glaze:
Puree about 1/2 pound of cleaned and hulled strawberries in food processor or blender. You'll want about two cups worth of puree. Place puree, sugar and corn starch in sauce pan, stir well and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly for about two minutes, until glaze is thickened. Remove from heat and stir in corn syrup and a few drops of red food coloring, if using. Allow glaze to cool to room temperature.
To assemble the pizza:
Spread filling evenly over cookie crust. Take remaining strawberries and slice them, then lay them on the filling, covering the pizza completely. Pour or brush glaze over entire pizza. Refrigerate before serving.

Doctors' Time
Published: Friday, July 26, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.

What is your time worth? Don't ask a lawyer. His time starts from your first words, then watch him look at his watch. At $200 to $300 an hour, it adds up. Go to the waiting room of a doctor's office and you will see posted a sign that says there's a $25 charge for a canceled appointment. Nothing is said about how long you have to wait to see your doctor.
The attendants will not come and tell you if the doctor is running behind. So we wait and wait. Why? Because the doctor is more interested in his time than yours. Advertising says call your doctor right away. Try it and see whom you get. Not your doctor, but his nurse, and then not till the end of the day. So what is your time worth? Not very much. Sad to say. Wake up, doctors, we need some help.
