Richard Stallman wants to popularise the term GNU/Linux instead of using the currently popular term Linux. He correctly states that the term Linux, besides being thoroughly inaccurate, totally fails to introduce new users to the legal and philosophical concepts that underlie the basis of the GNU/Linux OS; but is it feasible to make such a change at this late stage?
Some weeks ago, trolling through prospective articles for Free Software Daily, I encountered a blog, describing the evolution of "Linux". It was aimed at Newbies. The blog correctly described Linus Torvalds as the creator of the Linux kernel and a few more recent developments, but that was it. No mention was made that Richard Stallman actually created much of what is now called "Linux", no mention of the GPL, or how it works, no mention of the copyleft legal concept and no mention of other responsibilities placed on users and developers.
All of Richard Stallman's worst fears confirmed in one blog.
This pattern of inaccurate, or missing, information about the basic provenance of the GNU/Linux legal and software environment, is continually repeated in blogs and in the mainstream media.
Stallman's fears are easily confirmed, yet I fear that the "Linux" horse has already bolted.
The Problem
Back at the beginning of the century, when I first saw people using GNU/Linux, they either called the OS, Linux, or else the name of the distribution they were using. A few years later, I started using GNU/Linux myself, but I only knew the OS as "Linux" till I started writing here. For the first couple of years, I knew a bit about Linus Torvalds and something called the Linux kernel, but almost nothing about Richard Stallman. He seemed to have connection with something called GNU, which I thought was just another Linux distribution. I was a typical Microsoft refugee who had learned almost nothing about computers after a decade of using Microsoft.
This is the problem that Stallman is now facing: sheer ignorance on an increasingly massive scale. I say increasingly, because more and more people are hearing about, and using, GNU/Linux, without having any better understanding of it than I did, years ago.
The second stage of the problem involves linguistics and usage.
I only did a year of linguistics, but I'm sure that if Richard Stallman asks linguistics students, at the next university he visits, which of the two terms, GNU/Linux, or just Linux, is most likely to survive, they will say "Linux" with hardly any hesitation.
My understanding is that language always devolves towards simpler forms rather than more complex ones.
Try writing both words and Linux is easier to write than GNU/Linux. Try saying them and Linux just rolls off your tongue, whereas GNU/Linux is much harder to say.
Consider all the publications with Linux in the title. Can we get all those to substitute GNU/Linux for Linux? Can we get Linux World to become GNU/Linux World? We might, but I won't try to hold my breathe while I'm waiting. If we can't, then the term "Linux" is getting forced further into the public thinking pattern.
Can we get mainstream journalists to start using the term GNU/Linux? Almost certainly not! Most of them will feel pretty smart if they are even familiar with the word Linux. They'd insist that the public don't know the term GNU/Linux and it would only confuse them to use it at this stage, which is pretty true. But if we don't, then the term Linux is getting forced further into the public thought processes.
A possible solution
I don't really have one. I often use the words "Free Software Community" which I hope gives the new user the idea that there is a lot more involved than just the word Linux, but it's not a perfect solution by any means.
What's needed is some alternative copyleft-style solutions.
We need to raise public awareness that the term, "Linux", involves a complete package of solutions to most (all?) of their Microsoft woes. The package includes one of a number of possible software solutions, based on the Linux kernel of Linus Torvalds and the GNU software packages developed by Richard Stallman. That it includes its own unique legal protection system, also developed by Richard Stallman. That it also brings a very large international network of users with it, and that it's, mostly, entirely free.
Maybe, the GPL should be modified so it insists that all distributions include a page, prepared by the FSF, to appear on the desktop of all new installations. It would briefly outline all the details of GNU/Linux development and communal aims and responsibilities. Then, not so many new users would remain as ignorant as I was, for so long.
Such a page could link to FSF, and other informative sites, to give a newbie a very quick grounding in the whole Free Software Community environment.
Could this work?
ah, the advertising clause argument again...
Maybe, the GPL should be modified so it insists that all distributions include a page, prepared by the FSF, to appear on the desktop of all new installations.
In other words, "reintroduce the old BSD advertising clause".
No, that would not work. The FSF (correctly) argued vehemently that such a provision was "non-free". When XFree86 tried to re-introduce an advertising clause, it created the schism that led to the new X.org distribution of X and abandonment of the old XFree86 package.
Is calling it "Linux" inaccurate? Is calling it "GNU/Linux" appreciably more accurate? Look at the third figure in my article "Impossible Thing #1:... if you want to see how things really stack up.
Advertising clause
G'day Terry, congratulations on "Impossible things"; most impressive in its scope.
I don't think that what I was proposing could be considered "advertising" in any way. The page would briefly describe the contributions of the two people who developed the basic concept of what is now known as GNU/Linux, describe the copyleft principle and the GPL, and provide handy links to the FSF and other notable sites in the basic Free Software Community.
This would provide a distribution independent history, coupled with an introduction into the philosophy behind Free Software. The page would take the form of a desktop icon and could either be deleted after reading, or saved, if the user desired to keep it for later reference.
This would be an instructional page rather than a 'Ubuntu's better' form of advertising.
The problem with the old BSD
The problem with the old BSD license wasn't about the commercial nature of advertising (free licenses are neither "non-commercial" nor "anti-commercial", remember).
The problem was that it put a burden on the end user and amounted to a restriction on mere use. That sort of condition conflicts with Stallman's "Freedom Zero" -- i.e. the freedom to use the program for any purpose.
Stallman (and others) argued that the BSD advertising clause was onerous, because, if applied to all of the software contributions to a distribution, would require covering the surface of the package up like a race car driver is with advertisements. It wasn't hard to come up with scenarios that easily showed how such requirements could get out of hand.
I think the desktop info idea fails the same test: it would create a real mess if everybody jumped on the band wagon and started doing it (and if it's not something everyone can do, then it shouldn't be allowed, right?).
OTOH, it would be kind of cool looking to come up with a desktop like that, just for fun (of course not every project has a snazzy logo to use).
Where does it stop?
Not to take anything away from Richard Stallman or the GNU project, but where does the naming stop? Right or wrong, most users I know don't consider it an operating system without a graphical interface. So should we start referring to GNU/Linux/KDE or maybe GNU/Linux/X11/Xfce? Wait a minute, KDE is built on Qt, so maybe that should be added in. And with the recent push toward web applications, maybe we should throw the browser in there as well, like GNU/Linux/Xll/Qt/KDE/SeaMonkey.
On the other side, I'm sure Pepsi would love to have their drinks no longer referred to as "cokes", not all facial tissues are "Kleenex", and Jell-O isn't the only maker of fruit gellatin. So there is precent for names to not be used in their proper context, and getting people to change their habits in something like that is all but impossible.
It will stop itself
A few years ago the the motor industry began sticking more and more acronyms across the back of cars. You'd have GT, then GT SE, then GT SE Quad Cam, and so on. In the end they were even putting descriptions of minor things like air bags onto the name and they almost had to make the tail lights smaller just to fit it all on.
That's almost a thing of the past, now. I don't know who got sick of it first, the manufacturers, or the motorists, or both.
Free Software Community
I often use the words "Free Software Community" which I hope gives the new user the idea that there is a lot more involved than just the word Linux
I think you've got the solution right there. The amazing thing and the thing to communicate to people is that spirit of cooperation and contribution that has made all of free software happen.
The preamble of the GPL already serves that purpose.
Laurie wrote: "Maybe, the GPL should be modified so it insists that all distributions include a page, prepared by the FSF, to appear on the desktop of all new installations."
It doesn't need to be on the desktop. It's at the top of every GPL license which is distributed with every GPL-licensed package.
Anyone who bothers to read the license will find that even the Linux kernel is distributed with the preamble of the GPL which says:
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works.
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions.
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow."
I agree
It doesn't need to be on the desktop. It's at the top of every GPL license which is distributed with every GPL-licensed package.
Anyone who bothers to read the license will find that even the Linux kernel is distributed with the preamble of the GPL [...]
It's an inspiring piece of writing, isn't it?
Indeed it is.
And it makes explicitly clear the intentions of the author of the license.
Someone raised the question either here or on FSDaily whether it was the GPL or the code of the Linux kernel which was the more disruptive technology.
It's the GPL.
A rose by any other name...
I believe that trying to make people use the "GNU/" prefix is a battle that cannot be won, simply due to the inherent laziness in mankind. If it magically could be done without adding any syllables, then it might just work...
Is it the name that is important, or the ideals behind it. I find that when I introduce people to "Linux," there is already more than enough information for them to absorb, without adding naming conventions to the mix. The ideas behind Free Software are very important to me, but the name is not. I always make sure to introduce these ideas to people when I tell them about "Linux," even though I don't use the word GNU. In spite of my intentional simplification of terms, I find that it is not long before the people I introduce to Free Software come to appreciate the freedoms embodied by the GNU license, and become familiar with the terms "GNU" and "Free Software."
Linux it is
Hey there
GNU Horde makes sense, but GNU Linux? after 15 years implementing Linux within many many businesses, I personally have never met anyone that really cared about the fact that RMS runs around talking about GNU Linux and some zealots on mailing lists keep reminding you to call it that way. Currently I work for a bank and a few months bank RMS was in town and I asked a few of the smart people around if they like to join me and go to a talk of RMS. None of those people (senior IT people) knew who RMS was or what GNU was, only when mentioned that the license of Linux. which I happened to implement at the bank, was called GPL ergo Gnu public license they went, ok, so what? None of them joined me at the talk. I left early, since the group of people there just simply were not the group I would even employ. People who rather work for Google doing not very useful cool stuff, rather than for a bank and do quite useful linux migrations.
As passionate as I personally am about Open Source and Linux I personally believe that RMS's zealotry is part of the issue why so many so called Linux people do not want or care about business use of Linux. They live in a world in which MS, RedHat or Novell are the enemy and not where maybe using Linux is just good because it is just better not because others are bad.
From my experience RMS is completely irrelevant and should stop behaving like he is the Jesus of the software world. The term GNU/Linux is ridiculous and the whole GPLv3 issue a sign that Linux is just GNUv2 because Linus thinks it is useful, not because Linux is the GNU OS, which it is not. GNU Horde????
So .... Linux it is and Linux it will stay
Linux is a kernel.
GNU/Linux is GNU with the Linux kernel.
GNU/Solaris is GNU with the Solaris kernel.
GNU/Hurd is GNU with the Hurd kernel.
I was about to write something similar but you beat me to it.
GNU/Linux is not a preference as much as it is an accurate description of what I am running.
What term you use depends upon how accurate you want to be. "GNU/Linux/X11/KDE/Firefox"? Well if you want to but usually all of that can be described with the distribution name: Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu etc. Most of the time people seem happy to know I am referring to Debian, the application stack only comes into it if it's relevant.
GNU/Linux describes the base upon which pretty much all -- er -- GNU/Linux distributions are built so I use it when referring generically to any distribution.
Nobody will ever force people to use GNU/Linux as a terminology but if those of us who know the difference make the distinction where it counts, people will eventualyl catch on or ask. Then again I am still running my one-man campaign to stop people referring to desktop background images as "screensavers" :o)
Time to give it up Richard
I have to agree with Corfy. It's ironic to me that RMS campaigned so hard to get rid of the advertising clause, while at the same time the insistence on "GNU/Linux" is in the exact same spirit. Is GNU's contribution more important than X.org's, or KDE/GNOME/[Insert DE here]'s, or anyone elses?
Granted, "Linux" is probably no more important than the rest either, in some ways less (think about it -- presented with the same user space over a different kernel, how many users would care?)
Props to RMS on his many contributions, unfortunately terminology is not his strong point (don't get me started on the word 'free'). Fortunately his ideology will outlast the terminology.
Richard isn't pushing any legal arguments, he's just reminding people that it's right and proper to give credit to the GNU project for its work.
one answer may be... GNU/Hurd
If GNU/Hurd gains traction, maybe by similarity, it will transform Linux into GNU/Linux. And I do hope that GNU/Hurd as an architecture will gain traction and many developers will port their applications to this architecture. Or that they will work out-of-the-box.
A new name is needed
Maybe a new name would help ease the conflict.
Guhnew/linux is too hard difficult to pronounce.
Gnu/Linux (New/linux) is better but it still doesn't roll off the tongue.
Gnu/nux (New-nuks) is better, as odd as this sounds, but can be improved upon by a further contraction. How's about Gnuxs (nuks, rhymes with nuts, or nooks)?
Hey doesn't the American missile defense system use Gnu/Linux? Gnuxs (Nooks) it is!
In this vain, Gnu/Hurd could be "Gnurd" (pronounced "Nerd").
This is a serious issue, something I plan to write upon when I get some time. On the whole issue of the slash, which is improperly used, credit where credit is due --which incidentally may not be as much on the FSF camp as some of us think (bless FSF all the same), and a few other related issues.
Sorry about absence
I apologise for not attending to this thread for several days. A personal tragedy arose, when an old Chewowow, who'd lived with me for many years, died. RIP, Fifi.
I would like to point out that Richard Stallman has my complete respect for everything that he has done, and is currently doing. He, personally, developed most of the concept and original code-tools that we now know as GNU/Linux. He has continued to be involved with his vision of Free Software at every step of its development.
I use the term GNU/Linux, myself, because I understand the reasons why it became necessary. However, this attempt at a solution does carry problems in itself and additional means to solve these problems should by all means be sought.
Contrary to what I've written above, a huffingtonpost.com article, by the excellent James Love, called "Free Software", has been successfully promoted at Free Software Daily;
Love correctly identifies "Linux" as GNU/Linux then goes on to inform his readers with the sort of high-quality article that any of the Free Software Community would have liked to have written themselves.
Maybe there is considerable traction for the term GNU/Linux, yet.
Very sorry to hear about your chihuahua.
I agree wholeheartedly. I too enjoyed the free software article at HuffingtonPost.com.
Sorry for the down-rating. I was going to rec it up but I missed because I've had a few drinks at the local bar.
Thanks, Balzac. Yeah, I've done that too, after a few golden ales. Actually, I've found that, if you're quick enough, you can hit the plus arrow and it'll reverse the mistaken negative vote for you. This depends entirely upon the number of golden ales that proceeded, or if you can still see the keyboard, of course.
hadn't noticed - is that unkind???
My condolences on your loss -- pets are very personal things and it can be an upsetting time when they die.
To be honest though I hadn't noticed you were not taking part, I just assumed you'd lit the blue touchpaper and stood back a little. :o)
Not unkind
Thanks, Ryan. No, I'd been pondering about the GNU and Linux conundrum and I'm very interested in other opinions on the topic.
Consider the history
> Is GNU's contribution more important than X.org's, or KDE/GNOME/[Insert DE here]'s, or anyone elses?
Yes it is. Without the Unix replacement tools the GNU project provided, Linux would never have had any userspace, nor any development tools. That's why Torvalds agreed to use the GPL; it was only fair given the amount of code he was getting access to. The whole point of GNU and the FSF is to provide an _ecosystem_ wherein users' interests are paramount. This Stallman and his "mad zealots" have done spectacularly well.
Anyone working with GNU/Linux in any manner is a user.
The fact that you can have this debate at all, or say rollout websites at low-cost, is thanks to rms. The other projects you mention, apart from X, owe their very existence to the GPL. Current Xorg development owes a lot to the GNU ecosystem too, since that is where a great deal of testing and development goes on.
Take away gcc, GNU make, and GNU binutils, and see how far you get with developing your own OS, leave alone all the other myriad 'boring' utilities that make your work possible. Try getting your software ported to virtually any OS without GNU autotools, at a time when POSIX never existed.
All that doesn't make him my, or anyone's, saviour, but it does make him a lot more important than some of you make out, and it certainly means that any Linux installation is a great deal more than just a kernel, important though that part may be.
Yeah I say Linux too. If I were writing an article about it, I'd use GNU/Linux though, at least at the start as Love did, especially so if it were for people new to it.
RMS: primus inter pares
Personally, I always think of Stallman's copyleft concept as being his greatest achievement; simple, elegant and effective.
It's a pity that GNU has been trumped by the sheer ease of simply saying Linux. But Linux is such a 2D description of all that is involved.

I'd wag someone else has ... but my searching can't find.
Confusion: I select an item, click Hatch-Solid = black. But my color is red. How do I change from black to red - hello Google? Turns out just go ahead had fill. It's the Hatch solid vs pattern box that lies (leads one astray). Seems the Hatch-Solid 'display' is always black but draws 'color'.
Then foreground/background works, yahoo...
Now a question - is there a way to (because my printer is B/W) have a border color (black) and a different fill color (white)? That way hidden lines would hide.
Thanks - Great program.

Author Bio
• Birth—December 02, 1963
• Where—Los Angeles, California
• Education—B.A., Sarah Lawrence College, 1985; M.F.A.,
University of Iowa, 1987
• Awards—Guggenheim Fellowship, 1995; PEN/Faulkner
Award, 2002; Orange Prize, 2002
• Currently—Nashville, Tennessee
Ann Patchett was born in Los Angeles but raised in Nashville, Tennessee. While at Sarah Lawrence College in New York, she studied with such notable authors as Russell Banks and Grace Paley before getting her first short works published. She labored long and hard in the trenches of Seventeen magazine (where her talents went largely unrecognized), before striking gold with her ambitious first novel, The Patron Saint of Liars, which was named a New York Times Notable Book of 1992 and subsequently made into a major motion picture.
Since her auspicious debut, Patchett has crafted a handful of elegant novels, garnering several accolades and awards along the way. But her real breakthrough occurred with 2001's Bel Canto, a taut, psychological thriller set in the claustrophobic confines of an embassy under siege in South America. Winning both the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Orange Prize, Bel Canto catapulted Patchett into the ranks of bestselling authors.
As if to prove her versatility, Patchett departed from fiction for 2004's Truth & Beauty, the heartbreaking account of her longstanding, difficult friendship with the late Lucy Grealy, a gifted writer whose disfigurement from cancer precipitated a tragic descent into addiction and death. This memoir won several literary awards and appeared on many end-of-year best books lists. Her novel, Run, follwed in 2007.
Success breeds success; and with each book, Patchett's reputation grows. Perhaps the secret to her popularity has been captured best by Patchett's friend, Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Olen Butler. "She is a genius of the human condition," he says. "I can't think of many other writers, ever, who get anywhere near her ability to comprehend the vastness and diversity of humanity, and to articulate our deepest heart."
From a 2004 Barnes and Noble interview:
• In 1997, The Patron Saint of Liars was adapted into a TV movie, and Patchett also helped to write the screenplay for Taft, which was optioned by actor Morgan Freeman for a feature film.
• Patchett knew absolutely nothing about opera before writing Bel Canto; she began her research with Fred Plotkin's book Opera 101.
• She has never had a television.... She brushes her dog's teeth every morning.... After she received a pig for her ninth birthday, she hasn't eaten red meat since.
• When asked what book most influenced her life as a writer, here is her response:
Humboldt's Gift by Saul Bellow. "I think I read it in the tenth grade. My mother was reading it. It was the first truly adult literary novel I had read outside of school, and I read it probably half a dozen times. I found Bellow's directness very moving. The book seemed so intelligent and unpretentious. I wanted to write like that book."

Quinn, Council Members Criticize Limits on Storm Aid
New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and about a dozen council members are demanding Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration reverse course on its plan to limit the number of poor New Yorkers eligible for supplemental food stamps in the wake of superstorm Sandy.
As The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, the Bloomberg administration won approval from the federal government to provide supplemental food stamp benefits, officially known as Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, to New Yorkers affected by Sandy. But the city decided to limit those people who are eligible to 10 ZIP Codes and parts of two others; another similar program in November included people in 82 ZIP Codes. The Journal also reported that the city will have two sites available for applicants, one of which is open part time.
"It is unacceptable for the city to make disaster victims travel extremely long distances to apply for the benefit, particularly when the purpose of D-SNAP is to make their lives easier during these trying times," Quinn and 11 other council members wrote in a letter to Robert Doar, commissioner of the city's Human Resources Administration, which administers food stamps.
Quinn and the council members also urged the administration to expand the number of ZIP Codes.
The current zone "does not sufficiently account for the physical damage of Sandy, as hard-hit communities like Canarsie, Bergen Beach, Howard Beach and Hamilton Beach are not included in the list," Quinn and the other members wrote in the letter. "It also doesn't address the economic damage done to residents throughout New York City, many of whom lost wages in the aftermath of the storm. We believe that proper safeguards can be implemented that allow the city to expand the program while maintaining its integrity."
The letter marks the first significant criticism from Quinn about the mayor's response to Sandy. Quinn is preparing a campaign for mayor next year and is a close ally of Mayor Bloomberg.
A spokeswoman for Doar said the city is still reviewing the speaker's letter. In an interview on Monday, Doar defended the decision to limit the number of eligible ZIP Codes, and he defended the number of application centers, as well.
"Sometimes in government you have to make choices and we've made a choice about how to target this program and we think we've made the right choice," Doar said. "We think we're going to help a lot of people."

PARKERSBURG - With natural gas drilling operations starting up in a number of areas, some are starting to see an increase in employment as development begins and wells are being set up to tap into the Marcellus Shale deposit.
According to WorkForce West Virginia, during the first quarter of 2013 there was six units in Wood County doing oil and gas extraction with 20 employees paying a total of $161,918 with an average weekly wage of $622.77.
In other area counties:
WorkForce West Virginia had nothing listed for Wirt and Jackson counties.
Officials with WorkForce said the data in some areas was not available. However, they said support activities for oil and gas operations as well as work on oil and gas pipeline and related structures have shown the most growth statewide.
A number of area residents have joined together with property in Wood, Ritchie, Calhoun, Roane, Jackson and Wirt counties to market to oil and gas companies for development. The landowners will be meeting soon to determine which company they will be working with.
In 2012, Workforce Investment Area 4, which includes Calhoun, Clay, Jackson, Mason, Pleasants, Ritchie, Roane, Wirt and Wood counties, had 82 units doing oil and gas extraction with 452 employees paying a total of $18,979768 with an average weekly wage of $807.52.
Charlie Burd, with the Independent Oil and Gas Association of West Virginia, said areas like Wood County could have more people working at gas/oil sites around the region who have to drive somewhere out of the area to go to work.
There are also a number of areas that have permits in place but no gas operations yet, Burd said.
"A permit does not equal a well," Burd said, adding most permits are for two years.
A lot of the focus has been put in regions around Wetzel, Tyler and Doddridge counties as well as the northern panhandle which have more liquid rich deposits of natural gas, Burd said. He said not too much has been done around Wood County.
There is also a lot of work to be done in getting sites ready for drilling.
"There are a number of local people working in the industry," said Denny Harton of GasSearch Corp. in Parkersburg. "It started predominately with landmen and abstractors working in the area courthouses to identify lease positions.
"Next came excavators who are constructing the drilling pads for multi horizontal well drilling and completion from a single drill site. Then of course pipelines are being constructed and processing plants are being built. All of these are labor-intensive endeavors that require varying amounts of skilled labor as well as opportunities for geologists, engineers and legal professionals," he said.
In order to get workers the necessary skills for the emerging oil/gas industry in West Virginia, Harton said there are a number of training opportunities available to help train the workforce for future opportunities.
The "Petroleum Technology Program," developed by the Community and Technical College System of West Virginia, started this fall semester and is being jointly conducted at Pierpont Community and Technical College in Fairmont and West Virginia Northern Community College in Wheeling.
"These programs are designed to train the workforce of tomorrow and prepare young people for an exciting and lucrative career," Harton said. "Much has been said about the fact that many out-of-state workers are in the state and while to that some degree is true, I believe much that sector of the labor pool will be displaced by local worker once they gain the expertise."
Harton believes if Wood County can get the proposed ethane cracker plant, the area would see a significant increase in economic development.
"That would be a gain," he said. "It might require some tort reform for West Virginia to get the plant however.
"Companies are still scared to death of our legal system and they should be."
Harton said it is not just gas companies that are concerned about the state's legal system. Any company looks at the judicial climate anywhere they might be considering making a significant investment, he added.
"There have been improvements to certain areas of the judicial system that were primarily focused on keeping doctors in the state," he said. "When all other elements considered for investment are equal or near equal with competing states, West Virginia loses because our judicial system is viewed as allowing far more abuse than nearly any other state.
"If the Legislature were to reform the tort system, I am confident that effort alone would put West Virginia on an equal footing with other states and that more jobs and economic opportunity would follow."

Editor's note: This is the second installment in a three-part series. Visit www.vaildaily.com to read the first column.
On January 5, 1963, the long-running smash hit "Camelot" finally closed on Broadway. Teenagers were listening to the Tornadoes' number one hit, Telstar. And on that frigid day, Joe and Anne Staufer arrived in the newest ski resort in the Colorado Rockies - Vail.
The night before Joe departed Bermuda for a job at the Santa Barbara Biltmore, the phone rang. It was friend Martin Moshammer urging the hotelier and aspiring restaurant owner to come to Colorado to see a new ski resort. The fact that it was 48 degrees below zero at night obviously wasn't mentioned.
Vail was purpose-built as a ski resort. Only ranchland existed in the Gore Creek Valley before Earl Eaton and Pete Seibert stood on top of the "no-name" on March 19, 1957, and saw the future. So it should be no surprise that when Joe asked the Hertz agent at Denver Stapleton airport for directions to Vail, the agent argued, "There is no such thing as Vail." Out came a map to prove it! No, they weren't going to Leadville, and Eagle also was not their destination. Vail! Determined, the Staufers persevered and by day's end arrived in Vail.
Food and beverage pioneer
So why is it so important to know that Joe Staufer almost didn't come to Vail? Because without Joe, we wouldn't have his rich memory of what everyone ate in Vail that first season. As a hotelier, Joe was a "food pioneer" in Vail. So when I dove into my research on food and beverage services that first season in 1963, another pioneer, Sheika Gramshammer, directed me to Joe. I hit the mother lode of memories!
As Dick Hauserman described it in his book "The Inventors of Vail," Joe never made it past Vail to Santa Barbara. Despite Anne's protests over the cold, they stayed. Before Joe's planned departure for his onward trip to warmer climes, Earl Eaton and Pete Seibert took him up the mountain in a snowcat to show him the expansive snowfields and possibilities the area held. That's all it took. Joe had seen Vail's potential. He was hooked and the Biltmore would have to find someone else.
From the warmth of his condo in St. Croix, Joe described the similarities between both ends of the 50-year timeline of Vail. Like today, workers held down more than one job to get by. Joe worked days at the Mid-Vail basement restaurant under the gondola. At night he worked as server and replacement maitre d' in the Lodge at Vail's dining room. And it was frigid cold with "skimpy" snow that season, something that should encourage us since it was followed by many epic powder years before Mother Nature became stingy with snow again.
At minus 44 degrees Fahrenheit, propane gas liquefies. And propane was what Vail relied on those days. They lit bonfires under the tanks to warm them. "It's a good thing there were no leaks, otherwise I wouldn't be here to tell you the story," Joe laughed. In those pioneer days, whatever needed to be done was done. If Hertz didn't know where Vail was located, no doubt OSHA and other government safety and environmental regulators didn't either!
Slim pickings
Unlike today's roster of fine dining restaurants, Vail in 1963 had slim pickings. Open the most recent Wine Spectator restaurant issue and you'll find a number of local restaurants on this prestigious list. But in those days, before dining visionaries Walter and Marie-Claire Moritz and Luc and Liz Meyer opened their legendary gourmet restaurants, Vail's visitors and residents got by on what Joe charitably referred to as "mediocre" food, although the word "lousy" frequently peppered our conversation.
Like the landscape, the meat was frozen. The valley's history was rich in cattle ranching, but to get a steak that wasn't previously frozen before cooked, Vail's residents made weekly visits to the Diamond J restaurant and bar just east of Eagle on the north side of the river from the present-day Diamond S ranch.
Local historian Kathy Heicher said the Diamond J wasn't just popular with Vail residents.
"Folks came from all over the state to go fishing and stop there for a steak and a drink," she said.
A steak and a baked potato was high country gourmet! Joe calls it "the basics." No doubt the builders of Vail's mountain infrastructure had discovered the Diamond J earlier as a way to escape meals of boiled cabbage and chicken-friend steak. Sheika Gramshammer recalls a favorite pastime of hers and her husband Pepi was dinner and shooting pool at the Diamond J.
Buffets, now enshrined in the American gustatory psyche, became popular in 1963. The Sunday night buffet at the Lodge at Vail provided a respite from rice-expanded hamburger meat, sandwiches and canned food. For the whopping price of $4.50 (about $32 in today's prices), one could dine on a "super buffet" that included fresh oysters flown in that day and prime rib. Joe pointed out one drawback to dining at the Lodge at Vail. Coat and tie were required!
"Everybody was upset about [it] since a lot of skiers didn't think about bringing a coat and tie to go to a ski resort," he said.
The coat and tie requirement no longer exists, but the aversion to wearing them in Vail still does!
A trip to the grocery store
Many of us grouse about grocery shopping in the high country, at least I do. But we are big city compared to 1963. Today, in Vail alone we can choose between Safeway and City Market. Beyond Dowd Junction in Avon there's a Wal-Mart and another City Market. Not stellar choices, but certainly more than adequate. According to Joe, on the east end of Eagle County in 1963, Clark's grocery in Minturn was the only local choice for groceries. Frozen meat and canned goods could be purchased at Clark's. For a longer shopping list, Joe had to drive to Safeway in Leadville or Cherry Creek in Denver.
Long before Shamrock Foods began delivering food to restaurants, Vail had Joe. The fact that he had a station wagon might have had something to do with that. That made him perfect for grocery runs beyond Clark's.
Today, a shopping run to Denver for special items means braving I-70. Cherry Creek Whole Foods is less than two hours from Vail. Conceivably, the round trip could be accomplished in half a day. In those days, however, Joe's bi-monthly trips to Cherry Creek meant at least an eight-hour round-trip drive on a two-lane U.S. Highway 6. That was in good weather. Joe's son and lifetime Vail resident, Jonathan, told me it could also take as much as six hours each way. Upon returning to Vail, the rear of Joe's station wagon was filled with about 13 bags of groceries worth $100. Joe's runs to Safeway were much like our present-day Costco runs. Instead of a station wagon being filled to the brim, we pack our SUVs.
Just how far Vail's dining scene has come in the past 50 years is evidenced by its world-class restaurants and food and wine events held year-round. Next week, I'll take you on a stroll through Vail, reliving a recent progressive dinner where diners enjoyed five courses in four restaurants. We've come a long way, baby!

"The quality and style of our invitations are wonderful. The black and pink are not as vibrant as shown - sort of chalkboard black and lighter pink. Loved the ease of personalizing and ordering. Had to call several times with concerns regarding shipping due to a short time frame and the customer service was amazing! We received our invites as ordered in two days! Highly recommend using them for all wedding invites!"
"These invitations are of very nice quality, the design is very stunning. I like that the invitations are printed on good and firm material, not flimsy or thin in the least. Loved the coordinating print on the back of invitation.They were perfect! I was even more delighted that when they were received, I started getting texts and phone calls about how beautiful the invitations were, stating stunning, beautiful, sophisticated, and very classy!"
"I added the Pearl paper and they turned out beautiful. My daughter loved the invites and the Thank you cards I had gotten for her too."
"The invitation turned out prettier than I imagined. The text and colors were amazing. The gold shimmer envelopes were the perfect touch - high quality/rich looking."
"I was very happy when I received these because the invitations were more of a quality card stock rather than cheap paper. You will need to play around with fonts to ensure that the size will be big enough for readers see. My return address labels were very hard to read because the font was so small! There were few options. But I felt the color on the screen was true to what was on paper. I ordered the pink background."

MARIETTA — The aroma of homemade chili filled the fellowship hall at St. Marys Catholic Church in Marietta on Sunda....
It is easy to make the best-tasting chili if you use real New Mexico Chili. Specifically, chili from Chimayo New Mexico; it is unsurpassed for quality and flavor. Not too hot, but deliciously warm with a smoky flavor. If you want to win the contest you should get some. If you can't afford the best, use Hatch chili. I order all my chile online from the CHIMAYO CHILE BROTHERS...here is a link to their website: ***********chimayochilebros****/shop

Swaths of northern Europe were in the grip of snow, ice and high winds Tuesday, causing serious disruption to road, rail and air travelers.
High-speed train operator Eurostar, which runs services linking Paris, Brussels and London, among other destinations, has canceled the rest of its services Tuesday and told passengers to stay at home.
"Severe weather conditions overnight in Northern France and Belgium have led to the closure of the high speed line," a notice on the company's website said.
"Passengers will not be able to travel on Eurostar services today and should not come to our stations."
About 10,000 passengers are likely to be affected as a result of the cancellation of around 24 out of 27 scheduled trains Tuesday, Eurostar spokeswoman Lucy Drake said.
The bad weather may also affect services Wednesday, she said, with further cancellations or extended journey times possible
Passengers affected by the disruption will be offered exchanges or refunds, Drake said, and are urged to consider traveling next week if possible.
Air travel has also been hit, with Germany's Frankfurt airport -- a major European hub -- canceling all flights for several hours as it seeks to clear its four runways.
Some 355 flights have been canceled so far, according to Dieter Hulick, a spokesman for Frankfurt airport.
He told CNN the top priority was safety. "It is snowing so strongly that although the snow is being plowed away, it piles up again immediately afterward," he said.
One runway was reopened as of 1:30 p.m. local ( 8:30 a.m. ET) for isolated take-offs, Hulick said.
In total, 1,238 flights were scheduled to go through Frankfurt Tuesday.
The city has received 12 centimeters (4.7 inches) of snow in the past 12 hours, according to CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller.
Meanwhile, the official Twitter feed for the two main airports in Paris warned that travel disruptions in the French capital were making access to the airports difficult. However, train and bus services were starting to get back to normal in the afternoon, it said.
A quarter of flights from Paris Charles de Gaulle and one in five flights from Paris-Orly were canceled Tuesday in anticipation of the heavy snowfall, the two airports said Monday. Travelers were advised to check on their flight's status before heading to the airport.
The wintry blast also caused problems for motorists in southeast England, with some trapped in their vehicles overnight by accidents and road closures on icy highways in Kent and Sussex

"Wetland conditions were generally good for breeding waterfowl in the Yukon," reports DU Canada biologist Brent Friedt. "Ponds were full this spring, and runoff was high in late May from snow melt. In the Northwest Territories, spring was generally dry. Yellowknife received lower-than-normal precipitation in May and June, while precipitation in the Norman Wells area was normal. Northern Alberta remained relatively dry, but because of the more permanent nature of boreal wetlands, there was still habitat available to breeding ducks. In fact, many broods were reported throughout the area this summer, so fair to average production is likely despite the dry conditions."
Mallards and other ducks raised in the Great Lakes states contribute to waterfowl harvests in the eastern Mississippi Flyway as well as the Atlantic Flyway. Spring wetland conditions were good to excellent in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and mallard populations in these states were similar to 2010 estimates and their long-term averages. Wetland conditions were variable this spring in Michigan, and mallard numbers declined from the previous year's estimate as well as the long-term average.
The goose production outlook in the Mississippi Flyway is mixed. Among Canada geese, the Mississippi Valley and Eastern Prairie populations are expected to have smaller-than-average fall flights this year, while the Southern James Bay Population should have a fall flight larger than last year's. Good production was reported among midcontinent white-fronted geese, and this population is expected to have a larger fall flight this year. Lesser snow and Ross's geese should have an average fall flight in 2011.

1. John Wiegley's ledger : 09:49
I've traded 60 Mb on my laptop for 60 Kb. How can you, too, lose three orders of magnitude of fat and waste on your hard drive?
By checking out the incredibly lean and mean "ledger" accounting tool. Written in C++, it parses it only, simplified general ledger file (intended for editing with Emacs), or it can even just parse
GnuCash data files directly. This gives you the easiest way of starting out:
ledger -f
That will print out your
GnuCash XML ledger data into much simpler, text-based "ledger" file.
Below is the code. For reading
GnuCash, you'll need libxmltok1-dev installed (if you're a Debian user). It also uses GNU's multi-precision library (libgmp3-dev) and Perl regular expression library (libpcre3-dev).
2. There's more than one way to do it --- linux : 10:47
Hi, I have a file in this format of words: joe jill bill bob frank tom harry and want to convert the file to this format: joe jill bill bob frank tom harry Is there an easy way to this? The file I have has hundreds of entries. Thanks Mike

for word in `cat file`; do; echo $word; done > new_file for x in `cat file`; do echo $x; done sed -ri 's/[ \t]+/\n/g' file tr ' ' '\012' < infile > outfile fmt -w 1 filename > newfile perl -p040 -l12 -e 'chomp' filename perl -p040 -e 's/\s/\n/' filename
3. NNTP access : 11:23
Apparently the only way you can have access to Usenet these days from here is via groups.google.com. Some years ago, around 1997 or so, I once had a Pacific Internet account and could access Usenet news via news.pacific.net.ph, which apparently was an alias for Pacific's Usenet server in Singapore. Dunno if Pacific still has this service though, but apparently the name still exists and works.

Game of Thrones is a site for the HBO-series based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
It seems the odds are moving in favor of a greenlight. Over at the Hollywood Report's LiveFeed site, critic and commentator James Hibberd notes that he hears from sources "in the know" that it will take the producers "royally blowing the pilot" for HBO to not greenlight Game of Thrones. Hibberd goes on in comments to note that HBO is aware they've got a hold of something special, and is amazed at the online buzz among both TV critics and fans of the series at such an early stage.
He also shares Parris's great image of GRRM with some of the cast, first published here with a number of others.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

McKinley responds to jobs report
January 5, 2013
PARKERSBURG —The latest unemployment numbers show the economy is stagnant, a Republican congressman from West Virginia said Friday....
The jobs situation is only going to get worse and worse over time. The elephant in the room that everyone seems to be missing is that continued advancements in technology and automation are going to continue to exacerbate the problem. There is simply not enough work necessary to accommodate the number of workers any longer and this is only going to get worse as more and more industries fall prey to automation and further increases in productivity.

Orice Larson has several medals and mementos from his service to his country with the United States Army in World War II, but he was visably deeply touched by the honor accorded him Saturday at the conclusion of the Burnt Powder Festival at the Watson Hunting Camp.
Larson, 93, was presented with a commemorative M1 Garand rifle and a plaque from the Civilian Marksmanship Program for his service to his country, not only in World War II, but in the nearly seven decades since.
The inscription on the plaque reads: Staff Sgt. Orice L. Larson In appreciation for honorable service to the United States of America on this 19th day of October, 2013.
To be eligible for the honor, the recipient must be nominated by either a United States Senator or Representative.
State Rep. Collin Peterson, who nominated Larson for the award, said: "Orice, you're one of the remaining members of the Greatest Generation. We owe so much to those people for what they did. We wouldn't be the country we are if it wasn't for them."
Fewer than 25 veterans have received this honor in the last three years and only one from Minnesota, said Scott Maddox of the Civilian Marksmanship Program, who, along with Paige Carter-Smith, made the trip from Tallahassee, Fla., to assist with the presentation.
"The Civilian Marksmanship Program wanted to promote that we have heroes in everyday life," said Maddox. "They did their service and were quiet leaders at home in everyday life. Collin said, 'we've got just the fellow.'"
Tim Kolhei, Chippewa County Veterans Service Office, said Larson has held every position in VFW Post 380. For 18 years he drove a van taking veterans, most younger than himself, to the VA Hospital in Minneapolis.
The M1 Garand is a weapon familar to Larson, as he tested "expert" with it during the war.
"I don't have a speech writer or a teleprompter, but what I tell you comes from my heart," said Larson. "Thank you, thank you, thank you."
See page 12A for a story on Larson's war experiences.

Public outcry and further debate has erupted over abortion in Ireland since the death of 17-week pregnant Savita Halappanavar in Galway. The 31-year-old first time mother died of septic shock having suffered a miscarriage. The doctors stated they could not abort her pregnancy due to the current Irish laws.
Health Minister James Reilly told Newstalk he has no evidence that a Catholic ethos prevented Savita's life being saved by a medical termination of her pregnancy.
Savita, an Indian native who worked as a dentist, asked that her pregnancy be terminated several times but the doctors at theGalway hospital had to refuse because the fetus had a heartbeat. Her husband Praveen Halappanavar (34) said the doctors had told them "this is a Catholic country."
When the fetus' heart stopped, two days later, Savita was rushed to surgery. She later died of septicemia while in the intensive care unit.
Savita's tragic story is being reported around the world. From the Herald Sun, in Australia, to the Times of India, The Guardian and New York magazine, they report that Savita died having been denied an abortion.
Vigils and protests have been held around Ireland. In Dublin, in front of the Dail (Ireland's parliament) an estimated 2,000-plus came to show their respects for Savita and called for the Irish government to introduce new legislation on abortion.
In Cork, 400 people gathered for a candlelit vigil, many carrying placards calling for this new legislation on the foot of the "X case". Other signs spoke of the shame that the country feels over what happened to Savita. Other protests took place in Eyre Square, in Galway and another in front of the Irish Embassy in London.

Many of the protestors and those calling for the government to address a new legislation on abortion are using the slogan "We Are All Savita Halappanavar", posting it on Twitter, Facebook and blogs.
A quote from the Reproductive Health Reality Check website is also being repeated. The editor in chief wrote, "Someone's daughter, wife, friend, perhaps sister is now dead. Why? Because a non-viable fetus was more important than her life. Because she was left to suffer for days on end in service of an ideological stance and religion she did not share. Because a wanted pregnancy went horribly wrong, and, because as must now be clear, there are people who don't care about the lives of women."
On Wednesday Reilly also called on the Irish governmentto introduce legislation to give effect to the "X case".
The "X case" refers to the 1992 Supreme Court ruling that abortionsshould be legally carried out in Ireland if the mother's life is in danger. However, over the past 20 years the government has failed to pass legislation on the matter despite ongoing debate. It is estimated that 42,000 Irish women travel abroad for anabortion every year.
Child psychologist Mary Phelan was at the Cork vigil, organized by Cork Feminista. She told the Irish Times she had travelled to the event to express her anger at the lack of legislation.
She said, "I couldn't find the words to describe how I felt I was so outraged when I heard what happened to this poor woman - it just shouldn't have happened - they can say we must learn lessons from it but this was an entirely predictable mess and they left it happen.
"It's not good enough to just say that it can't happen again - we must make sure that it doesn't happen again - I feel mortified in front of the world that we have stood by and allowed this happen in our country today - I think we should all be hanging our heads in shame."
The pro-life group, Youth Defense, released a statement stating that being denied an abortion did not kill Savita. They said, "According to the information that is available, it seems that a delay in administering antibiotics may have been the cause of the septicemia which tragically led to her death.

LOS ANGELES -- The San Jose Sharks have confirmed that Raffi Torres is en route to New York for a hearing that could lead to a suspension for his hit on Los Angeles Kings forward Jarret Stoll.
The hit on Stoll came at 19:02 of the second period and the Kings center did not return after that. Torres was given a minor penalty for charging.
The fact that it was Torres, who has tried all season to change his style of play and overcome his track record as a dangerous player, has amplified the attention given to the play with varying interpretations.
Immediately after the Sharks 2-0 loss in Game 1, Torres talked about the play.
"To be honest with you, I didn't even think there was going to be a penalty," Torres said. "They called it charging, but I don't think that I launched myself. I took a step and a half, then I glided into him.
"Obviously he was leaning over. I got shoulder to his shoulder, and then it kind of looked, because he was leaning over, that it came up a little high," Torres continued. "I didn't think it was a penalty, but I hope he's all right."
Did Torres think his reputation might lead to NHL discipline?
"No, I don't think so," he said. "We had a chance to look at it and I don't see much coming out of it."
After the game, Sharks coach Todd McLellan called the play a "clean hit, not even a charging penalty, in my opinion."
Kings coach Darryl Sutter made his point about the injury to Stoll -- "We weren't resting him and he didn't come back" -- but did not share his thoughts on the hit.
Still, Los Angeles general manager Dean Lombardi was seen in the hallways outside the team locker rooms in conversation with an NHL supervising official assigned to the series.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The charter school debate rages on, and things are getting ugly.
One side even calls some of our public schools "thug havens."
"A lot of parents don't have the money to send their kids to private school," said Republican Dave Barbee as he touted school choice and a new charter school amendment on our weekly radio segment on 96.3 KISS FM.
"This gives them an opportunity," Barbee said. "If they have a school that's a thug haven, at least they can go somewhere where they can get an education and not be destroyed with the discipline in the schools."
Laney High School Principal Dr. Tonia Mason took offense to Barbee's statements.
"Our parents are sending us the best and the brightest that they have," said Dr. Mason, who is also president of the Richmond County Association of Educators.
The association has come out against the amendment.
"It's not about me. It's not about the educators," Mason said. "It's about the children. They are entitled to a great education."
Mason says the bill will funnel $10 million from public schools to charter schools.
"That's a false statement," Barbee said. "We're not taking $10 million. All you're doing is transferring the funds [The money follows the students]."
"He's right," Mason said. "The money will follow the student. That means it's going to come out of the pot for funding of public education."
Mason says this could deal a death blow to an already cash-strapped public school system.
"We've cut days of instruction down from 180 days to 160; we've increased classroom sizes and teacher furloughs," Mason said.
Barbee says that is all the more reason to give parents more choices. In the end, voters will have the final say on the future of charter schools in Georgia.
The Richmond County Board of Education will hold a Parent/Community Forum regarding the charter school amendment on the November ballot on Oct. 4 at 6 p.m. in the Boardroom Auditorium. Georgia School Board Association President Valerie Wilson will be one of the speakers. The public is invited to attend.

First we need to say goodbye to an Octopus.
This was supposed to be a post about the best "college-y" blogs out there, but this weeks tragedy takes precedence – Paul the psychic Octopus died this week at the age of 2 1/2 http://www.sbnation.com/2010/10/26/1775245/paul-the-octopus-dies-world-cup-psychic-mollusk. I'm not really sure what the average age is for an Octopus of this kind, but my colleague Briana here next to me says it should be "old". In that case, Paul, just like Fatso the keyboard cat, you died too young.
Moving on, here are some college blogs:
BroBible.com – A site by East coast fratters for the same, which refers to the "Bro" as a positive, energetic force in collegiate and working society. Depending on where you are in the country you might disagree with their characterization of a "Bro" (central to understanding the site's content), so take the blog with a grain of salt.
CollegeCandy.com – The feminine quasi-response to the BroBible. A little less chauvinistic and bold, but still edgy.
Deadspin.com – The first of the popular sports blogs. Deadspin ignited a debate a few years ago among the sports journalism establishment and won a lot of support from the up and coming sports fans.
Hypem.com – Where the cool kids go to get their new music. HypeM aggregates content from a number of different blogs in an organized, practical fashion, so you can stream songs all day long!
TMZ – I don't know much about this site. I think it's a gossip site. I saw a guy reading it in religion class once.

Server: i7 920, 12GB, Windows 7
Gigabit ethernet connection to TV and server
Video files tested: approx. 600MB avi and mkv
I have PMS working on my network, and after a ton of config changes (Java size, PMS transcode buffer), I have it streaming and transcoding on the fly to my DNLA Vizio TV.. but I have 2 major problems:
- PMS is automatically doing "StreamStart" and "StreamStop" (don't have the log available, not sure the exact name) events every time the TV browses to a folder with multiple videos. I think it's trying to find the Date and Length of each video in the folder automatically, and it needs to transcode some of the file to find it.. is there a way to disable this? It makes the TV extremely unresponsive when I want to scroll down the list and choose a file to play.
- When I do get a file to play, I click "OK" on my TV remote, and PMS says "StreamStart"... the transcode buffer has a crazy negative number (ex: -482,892,238,528 or something). During this time, my Task Manager shows "mencoder.exe" or "vlc.exe" depending on my transcoder, using up a ton of CPU. I guess that makes sense, but it takes a solid 2-3 minutes before the video starts playing on the TV, and during that time, the TV is completely unresponsive. Once it starts, though, it works great, and the transcode buffer shows something normal like "136MB / 400MB". I have tried multiple transcoders (ffmpeg, vlc, mencoder) and changed all the settings I could think of (network speed, "limit fps"), but it's not helping. I also ran PMS on my i7 3770K to see if it was a processor problem/limitation.. but it did the same thing.
Can someone help me identify what my problem is? I can't imagine everyone else is waiting 3 minutes for a video to start playing.. and my hardware is OK.. my network is fast.. my TV is brand new..
I can attach my config files later when I get home, along with my debug..

On Health Insurance, GOP Wants to Know Who's Paid
House Republicans are homing in on a new line of attack against the administration's health law enrollment numbers — "who's paid" – and are now asking every insurance provider selling a plan through HealthCare.gov to tell them.
GOP lawmakers have been saying since the latest data showing 4.2 million people have picked plans through the online exchanges that the numbers could be inflated because an unknown proportion of those people have not yet paid premiums, which is necessary for their coverage to take effect. They've also hit the administration for its inability to say how many people had gained coverage after previously being uninsured, as opposed to switching their plans.
Federal officials say they don't know how many people have paid their first month's premiums and insurance companies are the ones who can answer that question. The House Energy and Commerce Committee appears to be taking the officials at their word, by firing off letters to every insurer offering coverage in the 36 states where the federal government is running the exchange.
The administration also says that HealthCare.gov only asks some people signing up for coverage if they previously had it and so it can't provide accurate data about the full number of newly insured.
At the same time, though, they've pointed to McKinsey surveys (which we've reported on here and here) that found about 27% of 395 consumers surveyed in mid-February who enrolled in health-law coverage previously were uninsured, up from about 11% in an earlier survey covering consumers who had chosen coverage as of January.

Easton Haven Carbon Wheel - 29in $0.00
Almost bullet-proof, literally.
We know what you're thinking, carbon wheels can't hold up to your level of riding. But, what if we told you that the Easton Haven Carbon Wheel was made from a composite similar to those found in combat body armor? We'll assume that an eyebrow has been raised.
So, now that we've opened Pandora's box, let's get into what Easton calls its Armored Ballistic Composite (ABC). As we already stated, Easton views its ABC as being akin to ultra-light body armor -- seems excessive. However, Easton found that the inflicted damage to wheels from hard trail riding was quite similar to the ballistic impacts found in combat, albeit with no bullets involved. So, to meet the rigorous demands of all-mountain riding, Easton developed a hybrid composite with carbon fiber and high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) -- a key component of both vehicle and body armor. Why carbon? Well, if you review any material's strength-to-weight ratio data charts, you'll find that a carbon fiber/epoxy construction outranks aluminum 4:1. Additionally, Easton used a different resin, MRES-B, to bond the carbon of the wheel. This resin is exceptionally durable, which allowed Easton to use it sparingly in the construction process. As a result, the Havoc achieves a feather light weight while increasing impact resistance, stiffness, and durability. In fact, Easton is so confident in the Havoc's abilities that it's offering a no-questions-asked two year warranty.
So, with weight and strength covered, Easton turned its focus to ease-of-use. Accordingly, the Havoc Carbon's are UST ready. In fact, the wheels feature an internal rim width of 21mm and an external rim width of 26mm. So, you can run any conceivable width or volume of trail tires with security and ease. And further along these lines, Easton is offering the Havoc wheels with nearly every axle configuration available. This means that the floodgates are now open for six-inch travel forks and extensive all-mountain rigs.
For the build, Easton laced the rims with 24 Sapim spokes in a three-cross lacing pattern for both the front and rear wheels. Both wheels spin on Easton M1, six-bolt disc hubs with sealed cartridge bearings.
The Easton Haven Carbon 29in Wheel is sold individually and is available in the color Black/black. Please note that the front wheel is available in both a 15- and 20x100mm configuration. Also, the rear wheel is being offered in a either a 10x135 QR or 12x135/142mm rear axle option.

Is the Hub a M1-120 or M121? I'm looking to convert to 12x142.
Do these wheels require a rim strip? If so, is it pre-installed?
The Easton Haven Carbon and the EC90 XC rims do not require rim strips. It is a true tubeless ready tire.
Anyone purchased these since Easton "fixed"...
Anyone purchased these since Easton "fixed" there hub problems?
I haven't ridden the Haven wheels, but I rode a pair of the EA70s with the lower level X series hubs for most of this past summer. I had no issues with the hubs and was pleasantly surprised with the wheels in general. Easton did a hub update around November/December last year, and all our inventory features the updated hub.
I'm glad they show an updated hub. Easton's wheels are strong and true but there hub gave me fits in the side to side play in the aluminum HAVENS.
I have issues with the rear updated hub. Need to continually tighted nut. Comes loose and there is alot of play back and forth. Pain in the butt for such an expensive wheelset.
