- Abstract
- Greyfield residential precincts are defined as under-utilised property assets located in the middle suburbs of large Australian cities, where residential building stock is failing (physically, technologically and environmentally) and energy, water and communications infrastructure is in need of regeneration. The panel investigated how parcels of land could be assembled for higher-density redevelopment at the scale of the precinct and how innovative design and construction methods could make these developments more socially and environmentally sustainable. The panel found that a range of innovations are required to achieve a sustainable regeneration of greyfield residential precincts, including: New planning and policy frameworks to reduce the risk and uncertainty associated with larger-scale redevelopment in the middle suburbs; A robust planning instrument or code (Regen Code) for the redevelopment of greyfield residential precincts; New regional bodies or authorities responsible for urban renewal (equipped with financial, statutory and planning power) to run over a long time frame (20 years) to drive change; Spatial information (e.g. demographic, planning, infrastructure) to enable developers, investment, design and construction professionals to explore development opportunities and potential regeneration sites; Demonstration models of precinct design to play a role in communicating how these shifts in our urban environment could be envisaged, designed and delivered; Innovative construction processes that use industrialized and prefabricated components may provide attractive solutions to medium-density housing developments; and Pro-active community engagement of citizens as 'partners' in development, in both planning/design and finance aspects rather than the 'placatory' or 'adversarial' models of engagement that are currently employed with populations targeted for redevelopment.

2 brothers plead guilty in Vt. heroin caseThe Associated Press | November 21,2013BURLINGTON - Two brothers in Vermont have pleaded guilty in federal court in Burlington to felony heroin trafficking charges.
In return for their pleas, prosecutors have agreed to drop a conspiracy charge against Louis Prue II of Newport and Matthew Prue of Barton.
The Caledonian Record reported that the two men face potential 20-year prison terms and are scheduled to be sentenced March 10.
A police affidavit says an informant purchased an ounce of heroin from Louis Prue at a park-and-ride lot in Orleans on July 10 after buying a gram of heroin from Matthew Prue a day earlier. Both transactions were arranged via telephone calls monitored by police.
The Prues said in an affidavit they had been selling heroin in the area.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER — FairPoint Communications is being purchased by Illinois-based... Full Story

By Kevin Wilson: PNT columnist
There was an important lesson to be learned from a recent movie night. If not learned, history will repeat itself … even if that history is complete fiction.
Last week, I wrote about a movie experience and changed friends' names to protect the innocent because I didn't seek their permission to retell the story. I'm doing it again this week, but the names AND the movie titles are changed.
(Check next week for my column about real people with made-up events: "And it was on the eighth green of the Casel Land miniature golf course that Anna Kournikova told me she loved me.")
The night started innocently enough, with a friend referencing, via text message, a line from one of her favorite movies. To protect her, we'll call her Stephanie and pretend the movie was "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."
She texts, "Dracula musical…"
I text, "If I put clothes on, it's over."
And so on, until she admits she now wants to watch her copy of the movie. As do I. We each have copies at our respective residences, and put it on. We follow it up by texting other favorite parts as they occur.
I find the account amusing, but think nothing of it until I mention it to a friend we'll call Jenny.
After we rule that boneless wings are really jumbo chicken nuggets, I mention this movie incident. As Jenny navigates buffalo sauce away from her fingers with a napkin, she says, "Sounds like you had a 'When Harry Met Sally' date."
The short version, Jenny tells me, is that Harry and Sally talk on the phone while they watch the same movie on TV. I went on a fact-finding mission later and found a transcript of the fictional history Stephanie and I repeated.
Harry and Sally discussed what they miss, if anything, about their old love interests, and debate finer points of the movie. Late in the scene, Harry tells Sally there are two kinds of women — high maintenance and low maintenance — and Sally is the worst kind because she's a high-maintenance woman but believes she's low maintenance. (The previous sentence really adds nothing to the story I'm telling. But it's just something I think people should know in general.)
Discussing how a date went can be easy, and it can be difficult. One assumes extreme difficulty in discussing a date where one party isn't aware it happened.
Since we dated via text message, I broke the news to her via text message: "Bad news: I think we may have had a date watching that movie. Google 'When Harry Met Sally' and 'watching Casablanca.'"
There was no awkward post-date pleasantry. She expressed amusement and surprise, for she had not seen "When Harry Met Sally." But she would now do her own research.
I fear Stephanie's going to follow up, and this non-existent courtship may enter another stage: Quoting "When Harry Met Sally" to each other.
Wonder what she thinks of 71-degree weather.

text: Can the strength of LO's suck determine the force of the let down? I have always had a very strong let down and lately LO has been choking while eating ( at the beginning of each breast ). But his suck ( he is 6 months now ) is also much stronger in the last little bit. So can his stronger suck produce and even stronger let down. It is really scary to see him choke and gag while eating. Not to mention we are both soaked with milk at the end of a feed because he has to come off to catch his breath. I would pump and bottle feed but he will not take the bottle. Suggestions??

Furloughs Start At Fort Drum
"I've had people come in worried about losing their cars, worried about how their going to pay their rent," said Jeff Zulke, president of Local 400 of the American Federation of Government Employees.
Those are the concerns civilian employees on Fort Drum have been worrying about since furloughs were announced - 20 percent less pay for 11 weeks.
But Zuhlke says it never had to come to this.
"Anybody who works on this instillation can find $1.3 million in cost savings without furloughing federal employees. It can be done, but they haven't been given the option to do that," he said.
The Department of Defense decided on the furloughs in an effort to cut around $2 billion in defense spending and Fort Drum had to furlough all employees unless they were absolutely needed.
"Can we maintain a certain level of service as directed by the Army and our analysis? The answer was we could without exempting anybody other than what we were told from above," said Fort Drum Garrison Commander Colonel Gary Rosenberg.
"To be honest, their hands are tied in this process as well. And that's part of the problem with sequester," said Zuhlhe.
But Zuhlke says there may be some good news for those furloughed employees.
"If they can adjust the number of furlough days down, they will do it. My personal opinion is that they may drop down to 7 days of furlough," he said.
But even though that may be good news in the short term, sequestration continues for a decade.
That could mean more furloughs or even cutting certain civilian jobs altogether.

OK Im feeling confident we can take atleast one game in Indiana within the next two (3 & 4) and take back home court. Excited to see how the Knicks come out tonight.
Early welcome back to Amare......it is time.....LETS GO!!!!!

Hello and welcome to the 2013 NBA Playoffs Game 3 between our New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers
The New York Knicks fought back in game two and after an incredible fourth quarter, not only did they tied the series but they did it in an unforgettable manner, keeping Indiana scoreless for almost 8 minutes.
The series now moves to Indiana where New York will have to stand against a much stronger team and a more enthusiastic fan base than the one they found in Boston. With Stoudemire cleared to play, the Knicks should improve their scoring which might be a factor against a Pacer team dominated by big guys who play an amazing defense but with Amar'e being sidelined for the last two months, it's difficult to say how much of an impact will his return make right away. However, with JR's struggle lately and Melo's low FGA percentage, STAT's return might be if anything a boost of confidence. Hopefully.

Other facts that happened on this day:
In 1984: Knicks force a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, defeating Boston 106-104 at the Garden, behind Bernard Kings 44 points. New York holds on to the victory after watching Boston cut a 13-point deficit to two with :28 to play and then miss several attempts at tying the game in the final seconds.
In 1994: Knicks grab a 2-0 series lead over the Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference Semifinals with a 96-91 win at Madison Square Garden. New York held the Bulls to 4-16 shooting in the fourth quarter. Patrick Ewing scores a game high 26 points.

Can't wait to See amare let's go Knicks
Bulls lost @ home mainly due their FT's and heat floops
GSW lost to 4 rings spurs
so i hope Knicks will win game 3
i hope Knicks will go back home as minimum 2-2.
Frank Isola @FisolaNYDN
J.R. Smith did not attend today's shoot around due to an unknown illness. Knicks listing him as questionable
I am excited to see if Amare can bring 10-15 good low post minutes.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Woody said JR had 102 fever and if he played it would be in limited minutes. I would say the Knicks can't count on JR tonight, other guys are going to have to step up.
All I want is HOF Jason Kidd running the show in both games in Indiana .. in Kidd's NBA career its never been about scoring, with Kidd its always been about his guidance to lift his teammates confidence & skills in a game.
I also want the uptempo running Stat in this game to run with Shump for some lob passes from Kidd & Prig for easy fastbreak points.
I dont want Melo & JR slowing down the tempo for 48 minutes of the game -vs- a bigman Pacers team.
If we run the Pacers the next 3 games with a 9-man rotation we will be in the ECF...
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Who knows maybe the game might be easier for our boys without JR, the way he's been brick laying of late.
Maybe JR can play and have a "Jordan-like" flu game. Stranger things have happened go knicks!!!
No JR, more minutes for Shump and Amare.
Hoping STAT will have a big night (especially on rebounds) and prove all the doubters wrong. Crosses fingers*
"Everyone wants a champion's power, but no one wants his pain." - Amar'e Stoudemire

When few pitchers knew his name last year, Eric Aguilera thrived.
"I was a bit of an unknown commodity last year," said Aguilera, who hit .330 with a team-high seven home runs last season after coming off an injury-plagued redshirt year in 2011.
Despite being one of the most well-known players this spring in Division I Illinois State's lineup, Aguilera is off to a hot start again.
As a senior outfielder for the Redbirds, the Cary-Grove graduate is leading the team with a .342 average, seven doubles and 17 RBIs. His .500 slugging percentage also leads ISU.
"I came in with pretty high expectations," said Aguilera, a first-team All-Missouri Valley Conference selection last season. "I'm pretty pleased with the start I've had. But there are always things to work on and get better at."
This spring, Aguilera ranks second in the MVC in doubles, third in RBIs and fourth in total bases (38).
Aguilera's biggest adjustment has been working against pitchers who now know him well from scouting reports.
"I am getting pitched a little differently," he said. "I'm more of a pull hitter, and I'm not getting too many inside pitches."
Instead, Aguilera is seeing plenty of breaking balls and changeups and fewer fastballs.
"Over the course of four at-bats [in a game], maybe five or six [fastballs],"he said. "I've been more selective. I haven't been afraid to take pitches."
After taking only five walks last season, Aguilera has eight walks through his team's first 19 games.
The Redbirds (10-9) earned a signature win March 12 on their spring trip to Florida with a 17-6 victory at Miami as Aguilera went 2 for 5 with three runs.
While taking more walks this season, Aguilera has only one home run this spring despite the Redbirds leading the MVC in that category.
"I'll let the other guys keep hitting them, and I'll take the doubles as long as we win," he said.
Warhawks finish second: Crystal Lake South grad Katie Burton played a key role in D-III Wisconsin-Whitewater's best women's basketball season in school history.
The Warhawks (26-7) ended their season last weekend with a 69-51 loss in the national championship game to top-ranked and unbeaten DePauw (34-0).
The finish was Whitewater's best since women's basketball became an intercollegiate sport at the school in 1966, while the 26 wins was the second-best total in a single season.
Burton, a junior guard, played in every game for Whitewater, starting 15 times. She averaged 5.6 points a game and 2.6 rebounds.
D-III mat standouts: Jacobs grad Dan Olsen achieved All-America wrestling honors last weekend for Wheaton College at the NCAA nationals in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Olsen, a sophomore 184-pounder making his first appearance at nationals, finished 3-2 in the event to take seventh place.
The unseeded Olsen beat No. 7 seed Brian Broll of Buena Vista, 4-2, in the opening round. He also posted a victory by pin in 24 seconds in a consolation match. Olsen finished his season with a 29-5 record.
Jake Fredricksen, a senior 141-pounder at Wisconsin-Whitewater, was part of a Warhawk team that posted its best finish ever, placing third. Fredricksen, a Woodstock grad, went 0-2 in the meet. He finished the season with a 32-9 record and also earned recognition as a member of the National Wrestling Coaches Association D-III All-Academic Scholar Team.
Alden-Hebron grad Tyler Henken, a sophomore 141-pounder at Wisconsin-Platteville, was his school's only qualifier and finished 0-2 in the meet. For the season, he posted a record of 11-12.
Bats lead Winona: D-II Winona (Minn.) State's softball offense has received a big boost from senior second baseman Kaitlin Hardie (Crystal Lake South) and freshman outfielder Reed Karsten (Marengo).
The duo has driven in a combined 29 runs this season while helping the Warriors to a 15-5 start.
Karsten ranks second on the team with a .433 batting average and leads the Warriors in runs scored (23), hits (29) and stolen bases (five). Karsten has started every game this season.
Hardie's .500 on-base percentage is second on the team. She is batting .395 with 14 RBIs. On the team's recent eight-game spring trip to Florida, Hardie batted .474 with 8 RBIs and a grand slam homer.

In fulfilling its mandate to share the face of America with host countries, the Peace Corps is making special efforts to see that all of America's richness is reflected in the Volunteer corps. More Americans of color are serving in today's Peace Corps than at any time in recent years. Differences in race, ethnic background, age, religion, and sexual orientation are expected and welcomed among our Volunteers. Part of the Peace Corps' mission is to help dispel any notion that Americans are all of one origin or race and to establish that each of us is as thoroughly American as the other despite our many differences.
Our diversity helps us accomplish that goal. In other ways, however, it poses challenges. In Panama, as in other Peace Corps host countries, Volunteers' behavior, lifestyle, background, and beliefs are judged in a cultural context very different from their own. Certain personal perspectives or characteristics commonly accepted in the United States may be quite uncommon, unacceptable, or even repressed in Panama.
Outside of Panama City, residents of rural communities have had relatively little direct exposure to other cultures, races, religions, and lifestyles. What people view as typical American behavior or norms may be a misconception, such as the belief that all Americans are rich and have blond hair and blue eyes. The people of Panama are justly known for their generous hospitality to foreigners; however, members of the community in which you will live may display a range of reactions to cultural differences that you present.
To ease the transition and adapt to life in Panama, you may need to make some temporary, yet fundamental compromises in how you present yourself as an American and as an individual. For example, female trainees and Volunteers may not be able to exercise the independence available to them in the United States; political discussions need to be handled with great care; and some of your personal beliefs may best remain undisclosed. You will need to develop techniques and personal strategies for coping with these and other limitations. The Peace Corps staff will lead diversity and sensitivity discussions during pre-service training and will be on call to provide support, but the challenge ultimately will be your own.
- 1 Overview of Diversity in Panama
- 2 What Might a Volunteer Face?
Overview of Diversity in Panama
The Peace Corps/Panama staff recognizes the adjustment issues that come with diversity and will endeavor to provide support and guidance. During pre-service training, several sessions will be held to discuss diversity and coping mechanisms. We look forward to having male and female Volunteers from a variety of races, ethnic groups, ages, religions, and sexual orientations, and hope that you will become part of a diverse group of Americans who take pride in supporting one another and demonstrating the richness of American culture.
What Might a Volunteer Face?
Possible Issues for Female Volunteers
Female Volunteers may find it difficult to adapt to Panama's male-dominated society. They may be verbally harassed or even experience physical harassment. They may not be taken seriously intellectually or in their work. They may not be able to socialize with males without giving the impression that they are flirting and may be judged differently than men for behaviors such as smoking, drinking, walking alone, or going out at night. In addition, because they are from the United States, they may be assumed to be sexually promiscuous. Panamanians may consider it strange that female Volunteers do not spend their days cooking, cleaning, and washing.
Possible Issues for Volunteers of Color
African-American Volunteers may be judged as less professionally competent than Caucasian Volunteers. Despite their complexion, they may not be considered black because they come from what is considered a primarily white culture. They may be called negro or chombo, not necessarily as derogatory terms but as the local words used to describe black people. They must be prepared to work and live with individuals who have no experience of African-American culture. And they may not receive, or be able to receive, necessary personal support from other Volunteers.
Hispanic American Volunteers may not be perceived as being North American and may be expected to speak Spanish fluently. They may be labeled el cubano, el mexicano, etc. because of stereotyped perceptions of other Latino cultures. They may be expected to interact in Panamanian society with more ease than other Volunteers. They may not find other Volunteers in Panama with the same ethnic background.
Asian-American Volunteers may be expected to exhibit behavior Panamanians have observed in martial-arts films. Like Hispanic Americans, they may not be considered North Americans. In addition, Panama's historical involvement with certain Asian countries or the presence of Asian merchants in the community may have an impact on how Asian-American Volunteers are perceived.
Possible Issues for Senior Volunteers
While in Panama, senior Volunteers may not receive necessary personal support from younger Volunteers. They may find that younger Volunteers look to them for advice and support; some seniors find this a very enjoyable part of their Volunteer experience, while others choose not to fill this role. They may not find suitable role models among the Peace Corps/Panama staff.
Possible Issues for Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual Volunteers
Gay, lesbian, and bisexual Volunteers who have been "out" in the United States may feel pressure to be less open in Panama because some people view their sexual orientation as deviant or taboo. They may be hassled in the streets or in bars, and their civil liberties may be ignored. They may serve in Panama for two years without ever meeting another gay or lesbian Volunteer. Lesbians have to deal with constant questions about boyfriends, marriage, and sex (as do all women). Gay men have to deal with machismo: talk of conquest(s), heavy drinking, girl watching, and dirty jokes.
Possible Religious Issues for Volunteers
Volunteers of religions other than Christianity may be challenged or face generalizations about people of their religion. They may not be thought of as real Americans. Jews may occasionally be considered anti-Christian. Thus, some Volunteers may not feel comfortable disclosing their religion to the people in their community. Volunteers may not be able to find a suitable place of worship near their site or may find it difficult to fulfill their religion's dietary requirements.
Possible Issues for Volunteers With Disabilities
Volunteers with disabilities may encounter people in their community who think that they always require special help and cannot function on their own. They may find that some Panamanians consider them incapable of work that requires physical exertion or less competent in professional situations. They may be faced with frank or inconsiderate remarks concerning their disability.
The Peace Corps Office of Medical Services, as part of the medical clearance process, determined that you were physically and emotionally capable, with or without reasonable accommodations, of performing a full tour of Volunteer service in Panama without unreasonable risk to yourself or interruption of your service. The Peace Corps/Panama staff will work with disabled Volunteers to make reasonable accommodations in training, housing, job sites, and other areas to enable them to serve safely and effectively.
Possible issues for Married Volunteers
Being a married couple in the Peace Corps has its advantages and its challenges. It helps to have someone by your side to share your experience with, but there are also cultural expectations that can cause stress in a marriage. It is important to remember that you are in a foreign country with new rules and you need to be open-minded about cultural differences. For example, a married man may be encouraged by Panamanians to be the more dominant member in the relationship, be encouraged to make decisions independently of his spouse, or be ridiculed when he performs domestic tasks. A married woman may find herself in a less independent role than she is accustomed to or may be expected to perform "traditional" domestic chores such as cooking or cleaning. She may also experience a more limited social life in the community than single Volunteers (since it may be assumed that she will be busy taking care of her husband). Competition between a couple may become a difficulty, especially if one spouse learns faster than the other (e.g., language skills, job skills). There also may be differences in job satisfaction and/or different needs between spouses. Younger Volunteers may look to couples for advice and support. Married couples also are likely to be treated with more respect because the community sees marriage as a responsibility. They may be asked when they will have children.
Please note that during training, couples may or may not live apart if they are assigned to different projects. Please consult with your placement officer if you have any questions.

You obviously didn't get the point or didn't read the whole post.
I don't understand your hate towards me.
And your false accusations are just unneccessary, I don't know why you bring them up all the time.
I don't 'love' D'Antoni like you said and my post wasn't made to plead a case for him.
Like I said, you probably didn't understand the post or didn't read it entirely.
Sometimes you gotta look back to understand problems in the present. The Knicks are a classic case for that.
You wanna hear a short term, right now-solution?
Ok here it is:
- Fire D'Antoni and splash the cash on Jackson in an attempt to lure him to New York.
- If we don't have immediate success trade either Melo or Amar'e.
- Pray things work out.
That would be the typical Knicks way of doing things since Dolan took over.

They live on Utah's public lands and roam free in 20 herd areas managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Wild horses have a long, colorful and eventful history...
Horses became extinct on the North American continent some 10,000 years ago. Around the mid-I500s, they were reintroduced by Spanish explorers. Horses were used to pull wagons, help build the railroads, carry mail along the Pony Express Trail, and plow our fields. Sometimes horses would escape from farms, ranches, or the Cavalry. Finding the Western open range a great place to live, their numbers increased. The pioneers considered the wild herds to be a good source to replenish their stock. However, at the turn of the century and the advent of motorized vehicles, the demand for horses declined.
During the 1920s through the 1950s, some people saw the horse herds as an opportunity to make a quick profit. Mustangers rounded up large numbers of wild horses and sold them for meat and pet food. This practice angered many who considered these majestic animals to represent the spirit of the West. The efforts of Nevada's Velma Johnston (Wild Horse Annie) and thousands of school children were instrumental in the passing of laws protecting wild horses. The Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act of 1971 provided for the protection and control of wild horses and burros on public lands.
In Utah, 4,000 wild horses and 300 burros roam freely within 20 herd management areas (HMAs), two of which have burros. The areas range from 15,000 to 262,000 acres and numbers within the areas vary from 35 to over 400 animals. The BLM and U.S. Forest Service strive to preserve and maintain a thriving natural ecological balance and multiple-use relationship in these areas. Each year the Utah BLM offers excess animals for adoption at various facilities around the state.

The food we eat gives our bodies the "information" and materials they need to function properly. If we don't get the right information, our metabolic processes suffer and our health declines.
If we get too much food, or food that gives our bodies the wrong instructions, we can become overweight, undernourished, and at risk for the development of diseases and conditions, such as arthritis [2], diabetes [3], and heart disease [4].
In short, what we eat is central to our health.
Consider that in light of Webster's definition of medicine: "The science and art dealing with the maintenance of health and the prevention, alleviation, or cure of disease." Food acts as medicine, to maintain, prevent, and treat disease.
The nutrients in food enable the cells in our bodies to perform their necessary functions. This quote from a popular textbook describes how the nutrients in food are essential for our physical functioning.
"Nutrients are the nourishing substances in food that are essential for the growth, development and maintenance of body functions. Essential meaning that if a nutrient is not present, aspects of function and therefore human health decline.
When nutrient intake does not regularly meet the nutrient needs dictated by the cell activity, the metabolic processes slow down or even stop."
- Perspectives in Nutrition [7], Wardlow and Insel
In other words, nutrients give our bodies instructions about how to function. In this sense, food can be seen as a source of "information" for the body. See examples in Food As Information [8].
Thinking about food in this way gives us a view of nutrition that goes beyond calories or grams, good foods or bad foods. This view leads us to focus on foods we should include rather than foods to exclude.
Instead of viewing food as the enemy, we look to food as a way to create health and reduce disease by helping the body maintain function.
Please share your thoughts so we can improve this website! [9]
The nutrients in food give our bodies the information and materials they need to function properly. But our daily diets may not always be providing all the information our bodies need.
We all know that we need to get a basic balance of nutrients every day. But we may not be aware that the Standard American Diet (SAD) lacks nutrients. Moreover, some of our processed foods include chemically-altered fats and sugars that may be giving our bodies the wrong signals.
If you are interested in more specific information on the nutrients you need and how best to get them, see the section, What Do Specific Foods Do? [10] This information springs from research coming out of an area of healthcare called Functional Medicine, which is a dynamic approach to assessing, preventing, and treating complex and chronic diseases, and includes research about the role that nutrition plays.
As a society we are facing significant health problems.
Many researchers now believe that these problems are partly related to diet. While they used to believe that diseases-such as type II diabetes [3], obesity, heart disease [4], stroke, and certain cancers [5] - were caused by a single gene mutation, they are now generally attributing these conditions to a network of biological dysfunction. And the food we eat is an important factor in that dysfunction, in part because our diets lack the necessary balance of nutrients (Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 2004).
To prevent the onset of these diseases, we need to know how multiple nutrients in a diet interact and affect the human body's functions, according to the Nutrition Society, Europe's largest nutritional organization.
One component of Functional Medicine focuses on how diet impacts health and function. When Functional Medicine practitioners examine the role of nutrition in chronic disease, they look at multiple systems, such as the digestive system, the immune system, and the detoxification system, because of the interconnections between those systems. For instance, because 80% of the immune system is contained in the gastrointestinal system, a person's issues with immunity could be related to faulty digestion.
Functional Medicine maintains that chronic disease is almost always preceded by a period of declining health in one or more of the body's systems. Thus, these practitioners seek to identify early the symptoms that indicate underlying dysfunction, possibly leading to disease.
One of the ways Functional Medicine seeks to address declining health is to provide the foods and nutrients needed to restore function. This is a cost effective, non-invasive intervention that aims to stop the progression into disease.
When taking a nutritional approach to health and disease, it is important to understand that one disease might have multiple causes, and one underlying dysfunction might cause multiple diseases. Cardiovascular disease [4] may be among the clearest examples of this concept.
Researchers have shown that the development of heart disease [4] can be triggered by multiple factors. These factors include insulin resistance, elevated homocysteine, oxidative stress, elevated cholesterol, hypertension, heavy metal toxicity, stress [11], and inflammation. Each of these factors can be influenced by nutrition and each, in turn, impact our nutritional needs. This applies both to the prevention and treatment of these factors (Textbook of Functional Medicine).
For example, a 2007 study shows the importance of optimal mineral balance and how a deficiency in mineral balance can contribute to the development of congestive heart failure (Cardiovascular & Hematological Agents in Medicinal Chemistry, 2007).
During her initial visit, Lynn (53), just had one goal: "I need to get healthy!" Her cholesterol was elevated (including triglycerides), and she had taken Lipitor for five years. Her blood pressure had been elevated in the past. She had acid reflux and had been on Zantac for 15 years.
She slept poorly and experienced sleep apnea and extreme fatigue. She was taking hormone replacement therapy for hormonal headaches that had plagued her for years. She had experienced swollen, painful joints for many years, which had developed into osteoarthritis. Her bowels tended toward constipation, and she craved bread and sweets.
The nutritionist noted her systemic inflammation, water retention, swelling, and constipation [12] and suspected a food sensitivity. She suggested that Lynn eliminate corn, dairy, and wheat from her diet; keep track of her body's reaction to the changes; and then gradually introduce these foods one at a time.
When Lynn returned four weeks later, she had determined through the elimination diet that she had a corn sensitivity. Since eliminating corn, she reported feeling much better, and the pain in her back and legs had diminished. Her constipation was relieved and much of the swelling and fluid retention also improved. Lynn reported that "I lost only five pounds, but I feel smaller."
Returning at eight weeks, Lynn reported that the, "changes have been easy." She had lost 20 pounds and her energy was much improved: "I wake up ready for the day." She was walking a mile and a half each day and her cravings for sugar had also diminished, much to her delight. She reported feeling more in control of her eating.
At 12 weeks, Lynn said the changes were becoming habit. "I feel so much better." Her energy continued to improve; she had lost a total of 27 pounds, and she experienced less pain.

Add Illinois – especially its northernmost counties – to the list of groups that lost big in Tuesday's recall election in Wisconsin.
The voters' decision to allow Gov. Scott Walker to finish out his term sent a loud and clear message to Illinois businesses chafing under the state's anti-business, high-tax, high-regulation climate: Walker's reforms are not going anywhere.
The message from the Land of Cheese to employers in the Land of Corruption is simple: The climate is fine. Come on over.
The recall vote took place five days after Illinois lawmakers ended the spring session without a plan to keep the state's $86 billion unfunded pension liability from, one day soon, devouring the state budget.
I've seen a lot of 10th-inning analysis and general navel-gazing regarding why our lawmakers dropped the ball yet again on pensions. But no one has gotten the real reason right, which is surprising because it's so amazingly simple:
We would have had pension reform this session if our legislators didn't waste all their time fretting over Drano attacks, recycling plastic bags and bullying.
Now granted, King Madigan the First has his reasons for waiting until the 11th hour to work on pension reform – it's easier to ram things through at the last minute, hidden in a shell bill so regular folks like you and me can't review them until it's too late. But lawmakers always seem to do everything but try to move pension reform forward.
They have more important (cough) things on their legislative session bucket list.
Limiting the sale of drain cleaners to combat the non-epidemic of acid attacks? Check. Filing bills to fix the original drain cleaner bill because no one understood it, not even the lawmakers who approved it? Check. Taxing strippers? Check.
Pension reform? No can do – we have to give drivers the legal right to meat they run over. Imposing an austerity budget so the state is no longer six months delinquent on payments for our most vulnerable citizens? Maybe later – we have to thwart evildoers who steal plastic milk crates.
And of course, as I like to point out, our lawmakers always made time to draft bills curtailing our open-government laws so people like me have a harder time keeping an eye on state and local governments taxing us head-first into the abyss.
(If you'll allow me the aside, it must be a real comfort to the 57 people who will lose their jobs with the closing of Family Service and Community Mental Health Center – which closed in part because Deadbeat Illinois owes it $850,000 – that any opossum they run over on the way back from the unemployment office is theirs if they have the right permit and it's opossum season. And hey, they can still make money selling any empty milk crates they have laying around, because the bill requiring people to show proof of ownership is stuck in committee.)
Far be it from me to grouse about a problem without presenting a solution. It's time for a brave lawmaker or two to introduce my Nanny State Implementation Act.
I blogged back in February that Illinois needs a bill that taxes lawmakers for submitting legislation the same way we have to pay to file court documents or apply for licenses. Under my proposal, each legislator gets three free bills a year, but after that they have to pay a filing fee of $500 per bill. The fee, which would increase every year by the rate of inflation, would double to $1,000 for bills imposing unfunded mandates, and quadruple to $2,000 for bills increasing state spending without an offset.
With more than 10,100 bills before the General Assembly as of today (yes, you read it right – 10,100), that's more than $4.5 million in revenue that could be generated by our elected busybodies, and that's assuming that no bills raise spending or impose unfunded mandates.
My thinking when I presented the idea was that if our legislators want to create a utopia in which every action we take, awake or asleep, is covered by some darned law, then the least they can do is help pay for it. I thought that making legislators choose between the family vacation or the bill creating the Illinois Clogged Drain Registry (and of course its enforcement agency and the patronage jobs that come with it) may get intrusive government off of our backs.
But I think the stakes have changed since that blog post. The tendency for our lawmakers to piddle away their time with busybody, useless laws has morphed from an annoyance to an obstacle that is threatening the state's economic survival.
I think it's time for a brave legislator to draft – and carry – my proposed bill. I'm not curtailing democracy by limiting what bills our legislators propose – I'm just saying they have to pay for the privilege if they want to get carried away.
If we can move up the primary six weeks to help out one candidate, or pass a confusing Drano law over one or two tragic incidents, or curtail the Freedom of Information Act because one or two people abused the new reforms, we can pass a bill leashing our Lawmakers Gone Wild because one journalist thinks it's a good idea.
Because it will look even worse in the history books when the General Assembly gets the news that the state's checks are bouncing while they are debating fighting obesity by replacing popcorn with fresh fruit as the official Illinois state snack.
I see nothing short of a special committee to change the state snack, or maybe to rethink the bill making drummer silty clay loam the official state soil. Maybe the House and Senate pension committees could take them up – it's not like they're doing a lot these days.

E mail me at email@example.com and I'll send it you but both buses are full for Sunday
Just spoke to Kev Morrow on the phone. He says that the buses are no longer available and that he just has five in a car now. Something about a stag do. If you think you're on his trip, you better contact him urgently, or make alternative arrangements.
Anyway, we have been let down by the situation and have two guys needing to get to the game. If anybody has space in their car or know of anybody who might have, then please let us know on 0161 633 2759...

Perhaps if you didn't put such stupid before and after game rules on match travel, you wouldn't be in this predicament. All the fans want to meet up with players after the game. The regulars have got long term arrangements in place with kev and tony, and that's why they ain't travelling with you
We have no issue with people travelling with Kev and Tony, continuing with such long standing arrangements is perfectly understandable and there is no ill feeling on our part about it. All we do is offer to run trips and if there's enough demand to make it viable fine, if there isn't then so be it.
With regards to fans wanting to meet up with players after the game, in our experience supporter opinion is split on this. When we've set timings to allow for that a lot of people have complained to us that they would rather come straight back after the game, whilst as you rightly point out, others do prefer to stick around for a while. In such a scenario it is obviously impossible to please everybody and so we have to make a decision one way or the other.
The majority of those that like to stick around tend to be the people that have long standing arrangements with Kev and Tony and therefore by definition do not travel with us frequently, it therefore seemed to make sense this season to set the timings in accordance with the preferences of those who tend to book with us more frequently. This is no slight on those that normally travel with Kev and Tony, it just seems to us to be the common sense approach.
We're not sure which of the other travel arrangements you think are stupid but if you want to point them out we'd be happy to explain why we feel they are necessary.

Posted 02 March 2013 - 09:27 PM
I would suggest that as the two buses were full early week and you only have two people booked means that nearly all the fans want to stop behind. I think its a bit unfair to blame Kevin for the fact you can't sort travel out for your two booked customers, due to the restrictions you place on after match travel
We had 4 booked but 2 of them no longer wish to travel now that we aren't running anything. They both prefer to travel back immediately after matches. We also have an additional group of around 7 or 8 people that go to around half the away fixtures per season and when doing so always choose to travel with us. They too prefer to travel back immediately after games. North Wales is a match they would normally attend but this season it has fallen on just about the only weekend of the season that they cannot attend. The people that prefer to stick around afterwards have very rarely booked with us in the past, even when we offered that service, largely due to the perfectly understandable long standing arrangement with Kevin and Tony to which we do not object, so we would beg to politely differ with you about our after-match travel arrangements being restrictive.
We have never said that we are blaming Kevin for us being unable to make alternative arrangements for the 2 bookings in question, sorry if you were under that misapprehension.
When it became apparent that our trip would not be running, rather than simply wash our hands of the 2 supporters in question we merely tried to do them a favour and contacted Kevin to ask if he had any spaces and if so whether he would be willing to take them if we passed their fare on to him. Kevin kindly agreed but then contacted us this afternoon to say that he could no longer do so because the gear box had failed on the 14 seater and he was now only able to run the 8 seater.
We subsequently found somebody that was willing to offer the services of a larger vehicle and contacted Kevin to see if this would help him out but he explained that due to most of the regulars attending a stag do there were now just 5 people travelling in a car. In the meantime we'd had a call from another person wishing to book and in addition to the 2 we already had that still wished to travel that would see Kevin's 8 seater full again, but when we suggested this Kevin explained that his 8 seater was no longer available either.
We know Kevin and he's a good bloke, the above were merely an unfortunate set of circumstances beyond his control and there was no suggestion on our part that Kevin was to blame for us struggling to help 2 Roughyeds supporters. Indeed, Kevin later called us to say he'd found somebody driving to the match that would be willing to take the 2 people in question. Much like ourselves, it appears he was merely trying to help 2 fellow Roughyeds supporters to get to the game so we're not sure why there seems to be the feeling that we are blaming him in some way.

From enigmatic paintings to festival-filled summer nights, Armagh city's treasures are anything but hidden
Displayed in all its nickel iron glory at the Armagh Planetarium is the largest meteorite in Ireland, an astonishing 4.5 billion years old and weighing 24 stone. The administrator Neil Cullen says visitors love feeling its texture: "It is smooth, metallic and very cold, and is certainly the oldest thing they will ever touch."
Exhibition halls hold a spaceship and satellite models, while activities for children include building and launching rockets, flying the cosmos, or taking part in a magnetism workshop.
Armagh's two most distinctive landmarks are its cathedrals, which face each other from their seats on opposite hills and which locals say are "whispering" to one another. The Gothic-style St Patrick's Church of Ireland Cathedral was built in the early 19th century, and is on a hill called Ard Mhacha (where Armagh takes its name). This is where St Patrick is reputed to have built his church in 445AD.
And that's not all: Brian Boru, the famous High King of All Ireland who visited Armagh in 1004, is buried here. Across a valley, dominating the opposite end of Armagh, rises the pale limestone St Patrick's Catholic Cathedral, completed in 1873. Walk up the seven flights of steps and pause to look at the arcade of statues over the main doorway on the exterior.

Want to connect with 18th-century Armagh? Then nip into the Armagh County Museum – the oldest county museum in Ireland – and seek out James Black's colourful oil painting City of Armagh. Created in 1810, it conjures up an instant feel for the layout of the connecting streets and countryside.
They're well camouflaged, but look carefully and you'll find secret gargoyles, chimeras and angels, which were created as a response to the city's sacred architecture. No fewer than 22 intricate bronze sculptures, made by a Cork artist in 2010, are dotted around the streets continuing a 4,000-year old tradition. Pick up a leaflet from the Armagh tourist office to find out more about this teasingly mysterious and humorous side to street life.
Music plays a huge part in the life of Armagh. Each August, the Charles Wood Summer School for singers and organists sets up shop in the main churches. It's a great way to watch concerts and absorb choral music in serene surroundings. Other entertaining events throughout the year are the Tommy Makem International Festival of Song and the fun-filled Bard of Armagh singing competition, while brass band and piping festivals also get in on the act.

Et Tu, Melky?
Last week we heard the collective breath leave the many fans of the San Francisco Giants who had placed their hope in Melky Cabrera. His fall from grace not only hurts the Giants' playoff hopes, it also hurts baseball as he had been one of a handful of rising stars this season. In fact, it was only a couple months ago that he captivated the nation in propelling the NL all-stars to consecutive wins in the mid-season classic and bringing the game's MVP award home to the Bay area. He was a star in the making but that disappeared into the blackhole of a 50-game suspension.
Now, you may be asking yourself, "What exactly does it sound like when a star gets sucked into a blackhole?" and you can be forgiven if you missed the answer with all the white noise emanating from the gas giants that make up the sports punditocracy. See, as luck would have it, CNN just happened to provide us an answer last week (fast forward to about the four minute mark).
Hm, not as dramatic as I would have expected. So long, Melky.

Banzai Skate Park on Oahu's North Shore was envisioned as a world-class facility that would attract top performers from across the globe.
What skateboarders ended up with was a scaled-back project that went from 11,000 to 7,500 square feet. Even more frustrating, state-of-the-art park builder, Dreamland Skateparks of Oregon, was taken off the job before construction began in 2005. The skate park was eventually designed and built by PER Inc.
"So, it's just kind of a dysfunctional design altogether," said Blake Spinak, a member of a citizens advisory group, which has been lobbying the city for years to make improvements to the park.
With frustration continuing to mount, some Banzai regulars took it upon themselves to build a new pool next to the existing facility. Construction began about four months ago, and has cost about $2,000. The effort has gained grassroots support among the tight-knit skateboarding community on Oahu's North Shore.
"Some kids don't have money you know, but they'll hand you money out of their piggy bank, and it makes you feel great," said Mitchyll Farris, who donated supplies for the pool, deemed illegal by local officials. "Basically, you start out with a little dream, and you get some shovels and start digging."
Since the new pool was never authorized by the city, and builders failed to take out permits, the structure will likely be torn down. The Department of Parks and Recreation issued a notice of violation Tuesday, stating a cement mixer inside the pool will be confiscated if it's not removed within 24 hours.
"(I would) shed a tear for sure," said Farris, when asked how he would react to the pool being torn down. "I don't know if I would feel good about paying taxes anymore."
Meanwhile, young skateboarders who were looking forward to riding the new bowl are disappointed it may be gone before they ever get a chance to drop in.
"It's a shame," said Roxzi Bokolas, a 16-year-old North Shore resident who's been skateboarding at the park for the past year. "They're throwing away all that work, and I'd be sad honestly."
City Spokesman Jesse Broder Van Dyke said there are no plans to immediately demolish the illegal pool. Instead, the city is hoping the 'rogue' builders will tear it down on their own time. Department of Parks and Recreation Director Toni Robinson spoke to the builders Tuesday afternoon, and told them to cease all construction.
"She advised them that work has to stop immediately, and was assured by a member of the group that the work will be stopped," said Broder Van Dyke.
Even if the builders of the unlawful pool are forced to tear it down, skateboarders believe it has opened a new round of dialogue with the city in trying to make Banzai Skate Park a truly world-class facility.
"If anything, it's brought people together and created a larger voice, which is a good thing," said Farris.
An aide to Councilman Ernie Martin told KITV4 that once a driveway and parking area is finished, then the city can begin talks on possible add-ons to the skate park.
The original contract to build the park was pegged at $587,760, but the project experienced another $100,000 in cost overruns.

John - On Sunday, July 24, I squeezed 18 pounds of pitted sour cherries into 6 gallons of juice (includes nylon bag holding all the skins). Additives were as directed in the recipe for sour grapes I picked up at your store - peptic enzyme, yeast nutrient, campden tablets and boiled-cooled sugar water. 24 hours later July 25, when the SG=1.10, I sprinkled 1 package of Red Star Pasteur Champagne on the surface of the juice mixture. The yeast had been refrigerated for about 6 months. The juice, nylon bag with skins, additives and yeast are all in a 6 gallon wine juice pail, lid on with airlock attached. It is now Thursday, July 28 and I am not seeing any foaming. The airlock is reacting releasing gas build up but I don't see the usual foaming-must at the top of the juice. Is my fermentation stuck? Perhaps the yeast was too old?
If it is stuck, I was thinking about adding Red Star Pasteur Red or a Yeast Starter for stuck fermentation that I bought at your store yesterday.
Your advice please.

By Mickey Winfield, Freedom New Mexico
With war raging abroad and the occasional state-wide emergency calling New Mexico national guardsmen and reservists into action, the various New Mexico employers providing those soldiers are an increasing silent, but essential partner with federal and state forces.
The men and women in uniform got the chance to show off their skills to more than 60 current and potential New Mexico employers Saturday morning at the Melrose Bombing Range.
Scenarios demonstrated in front of a wide-eyed group included F-16 air support and the "Boss Lift." The guardsmen and reservists also demonstrated the insertion of a rescue team by UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters under enemy fire.
A parachute drop was planned, but was scrapped due to high winds.
Colonel Richard Clark helped explain the various scenarios to the state-wide guests.
"It's real important for these guys to see what our guys are doing,' Clark said, "because that way, when they ask for a day off or they ask for two weeks in the summer (employers) know that they're actually doing real training,"
Clark and other officers had high praise for the employers present at the demonstrations.
"The employers are our biggest supporters," Clark said. "These guys are the whole reason that we're able to do what we do. Because they let their people come and support their country and support their state. Sometimes we have to call out our guys and state duty missions, and I know it's a big burden on (the employers) but it helps us because we're helping the community and the country."
Bob Walton, the vice-president of business development with the Albuquerque economic development group feels like it's his responsibility to help by allowing paid time off for some of his employees to suit up when needed.
"We certainly have to have a safe and secure country, and with the way the military is structured today, all of the sudden the guard and reserve becomes a very important part (of the military) — it's just the right thing to do," Walton said. "If we're going to be able to conduct business, we've got to have a safe country. The least we can do is support these soldiers at this time and they shouldn't do so with a financial loss."
Walton also got the full service military treatment, arriving to Cannon in a KC-135 refueling plane.
"They refueled four planes while we were in the air," Walton said. "I'll tell you what I'm most impressed with, is the military personnel that we're meeting. These guys are classic, they're just first-class.

Anyone who has ever tried to plug a peripheral into a Linux box knows the importance of device drivers. This is an exciting area of Linux development, and we thought it was time to sit down with O'Reilly book author, Jonathan Corbet, to talk about device drivers now and what we might expect in the future.
In addition to co-authoring O'Reilly's Linux Device Drivers, 2nd Edition with Alessandro Rubini, Jonathan is the executive editor for LWN.net. He first started playing around with the Unix source back in the early 1980s, when a gullible instructor at the University of Colorado let him "fix" the early BSD paging algorithm. He's been working with systems programming ever since, and first started playing with Linux in 1993. By 1997, it was clear that Linux was going somewhere, so he co-founded a consulting company, and an electronic newsletter to publicize it. The rest, as they say, is history.
In this interview, Jonathan discusses the changes in the device driver world since version 2.0, takes an educated guess or two at what's coming down the pike, and provides a few insights into the actual development process for these very important tools.
Story: The second edition of Linux Device Drivers covers version 2.4. What are some of the notable changes since version 2.0?
Corbet: Perhaps the biggest change, one that will affect every driver author, is the incorporation of fine-grained locking in the kernel. In 2.0, everything was protected by the "big kernel lock," and device drivers had no need to deal with concurrency on SMP systems. Version 2.2 had split that up somewhat, but it's only in 2.4 that locking has, in many cases, been pushed down into the driver level itself. Any device driver that is not written with SMP in mind is not correct in 2.4.

Linux Device Drivers, 2nd Edition
Beyond that, there have been numerous changes to many kernel subsystems. Bottom halves have been replaced with tasklets, the scheduler queue has been replaced with a new event-scheduling mechanism, and the block and network driver interfaces have been substantially changed. The number of platforms supported has increased significantly, as has the number of devices. Many things have been cleaned up; the 2.4 driver interface is much nicer to work with than earlier versions.
Story: Those are substantial changes. That leads me to wonder then, what's coming down the pike? Version 2.5 is about to be released.
Corbet: Trying to predict what will happen in 2.5 is sort of like trying to predict next year's weather. You may know what the general climate will be, but the details are guaranteed to be surprising. Some of what the kernel hackers have in mind can be seen in my kernel summit write-up.
Some of the things that seem possible, and which affect device drivers, include:
Zero-copy networking has already been sneaked into the 2.4.4 kernel. This technique, which aims to move data directly to a network interface from the user's buffer without copying it through the kernel, can greatly increase performance on high-end systems, but it requires that the network hardware (and its driver) support the technique.
The network driver interface will see further changes aimed at increasing performance in very high-traffic situations.
The zero-copy mechanism used by the networking code will likely be expanded and, in some unknown way, reconciled with the
kiobuf code to provide a more general support API for zero-copy transfers.
The block driver interface will be, in the words of one kernel developer, "rototilled." Numerous changes are required in this subsystem to provide the sort of performance that high-end enterprise applications need, and to better support facilities like journaling filesystems.
Support for ACPI power management will be included; it will require support from most of the device drivers in the system.
Hot-pluggable devices, such as USB devices, are already reasonably well supported in 2.4, but much more work will be done in this area. It is possible that the requirements of a much more dynamic hardware environment will force the abandonment, or at least the deprecation of the classic Unix "major and minor number" scheme for identifying devices.
Device drivers for the Linux platform seem to be more plentiful than ever. What tricks do you have to make sure everything works when plugged into your Linux box?
I couldn't say how likely this is, but it could well be that, in 2.5, the Linux kernel becomes preemptable. Currently, kernel code will not be involuntarily scheduled out of the processor. This assurance has traditionally simplified kernel programming, but it can also create latency problems, where the system is unable to respond quickly enough to events. Making the kernel preemptable can solve this problem, but it brings a new set of locking problems to uniprocessor systems.
Story: Tell us about portability issues from one platform to another.
Corbet: The kernel code does a very nice job of hiding most of those issues most of the time. All that is really needed is that a driver writer follows a set of rules, and the chances of writing a portable driver are pretty good. These rules include: make no assumptions about byte ordering, do not directly de-reference pointers into I/O memory, use the provided interfaces for operations like DMA, etc.
Story: Well now that we're talking about this, are there any portability issues going from one version of Linux to another? If so, what are they and how do we handle them?
Corbet: Absolutely. Portability across Linux kernel versions can be harder than portability across hardware platforms.
The kernel developers feel no need to keep the internal kernel API constant, especially during a development series. API changes are needed to provide better functionality, new features, and improved performance. Maintaining compatibility leads, in the long run, to a kernel that gets buried under old cruft and which is increasingly unmaintainable. So, the explicit policy is to make the changes and deal with the pain immediately. It can be unpleasant for driver writers, but the result is a better kernel.
As for dealing with them...here's my blatant plug: Read the book. It covers kernels from 2.0 through 2.4.4, and shows how to write code that is portable across all of these versions. Each incompatibility must be dealt with individually, often through the definition of macros and wrapper functions to "backport" the 2.4 API to older kernels. It can be as simple as:
#define ioremap vremap
or as complicated as an extensive backport of the PCI bus layer.
Story: Are Linux device drivers becoming as plentiful as those for Windows and Mac platforms? In other words, can Linux users find the drivers they need for the bulk of their computing activity?
Corbet: I can't really claim a detailed knowledge of what's available for those other platforms -- I'm a Linux user, after all. But I'll try. Support for bleeding-edge new hardware is probably still better for Windows -- it's a rare vendor who will put a new widget out there without making sure it works with the dominant platform.
Linux is catching up though, and Linux users don't have to wait as long for support as they once had to. Vendors are more supportive of Linux development (by providing drivers themselves, or at least making the hardware documentation available), and the development community is larger. So, to answer your other question, Linux users will indeed almost always find the hardware support they need.
Story: Now that you've mentioned the development community, I'm curious about your view on how does the OS community respond to the need for new drivers. How do they manage to do such a good job of producing drivers for so many popular, and not so popular pieces of hardware?
Corbet: There are two ways, essentially, that new drivers are written:
Somebody has a particular peripheral and wants it to work with Linux. This is the traditional "scratching an itch" method which is responsible for much of the free software code base.
Drivers are written by vendors and contributed to the kernel. We are starting to see more code come in this way. If you make hardware, it is in your interest to have it work with Linux, and many manufacturers are beginning to understand that. A number of Linux companies -- hardware vendors and distributors -- also employ Linux hackers who, among other things, work on drivers. For them, too, better hardware support in Linux makes a great deal of business sense.
Story: Can you give us any insights to the open-source process for creating these drivers? Is there any uniformity in code writing that everyone adheres to, or is it some guy who has a need writes the code and shares it? If it's the latter, how do users know if a new driver is "safe" for their system?
Corbet: Usually a driver gets written because (1) the vendor wants it out there, or (2) some guy somewhere needs it. Some of the Linux system vendors and distributors are also putting some effort into device driver development.
Linus Torvalds includes a coding standards document with the kernel source, but adherence to it is uneven. Driver code, in particular, can vary widely in its coding style and quality.
As for knowing whether it is "safe"... The normal technique for new kernel code, including drivers, is to announce its availability on the kernel mailing list. At that point, people will often look it over and point out anything they see that looks suspicious. Others will try it out, and get back with their experiences. If the driver has problems, and the original author will not address them, somebody else will often pick up the code and make a release with the fixes.
The result is that drivers are usually "safe." Problems get fixed quickly, and there's usually only so much that can go wrong to begin with. Drivers thus tend to get incorporated into the mainline kernel relatively quickly -- they are easy to verify, and, in any case, will not break things for people who do not use them.
Story: So, based on all of this, is writing drivers easier or harder these days?
Corbet: It is both easier and harder. It is easier in that a lot of the basic kernel subsystems have been redesigned to work in a more simple and safe way. The interfaces for access to system buses and setting up DMA operations, for example, are much cleaner and easier to use. The quality of the debugging tools is improving as well.
But the need to deal with concurrency and locking adds a distinct challenge. Avoiding race conditions and other concurrency-related bugs is tremendously difficult, and tracking down this type of bug is no fun. Fine-grained locking brings a great deal of complexity, but without it, scaling the kernel to large systems is difficult if not impossible.
Story: Last question, Jonathan. Where do you go to find unusual drivers? Newsgroups? Online directories? Is there a resource that you recommend?
Corbet: There is no single resource for drivers, really. If I were looking for something esoteric, I would look in Google, and through the kernel mailing-list archives. If it exists, it will probably turn up in one of those places.
Once you get more specific, though, there are certainly resources out there. For example, if you're working with a USB device, www.linux-usb.org is the most likely place to find information. If you're fighting with a laptop system, http://www.linux-laptop.net/ is the definitive resource. The up-and-coming ALSA sound system (which may see inclusion in the 2.5 kernel series) has a great deal of information at www.alsa-project.org.
Story: Jonathan, thanks for your time. I've learned a great deal during this conversation. I wish you the greatest success with the upcoming release of Linux Device Drivers, as well as your other endeavors.
Corbet: Thanks, I enjoyed it!

Short Video telling Vin Scully "Thank you!" and "We Love you!"
What a great day it was Friday night when Vin Scully announced that he is coming back next year for his 63rd year with the Dodgers! At the time of the announcement the Dodgers were losing 1-0. Next inning the Dodgers like if they knew, stared hitting.
Dodgers score 6 runs in the 7th with Matt Kemp launching his 30th home run to join Raul Mondesi as the only members of the 30-30 club. Matt Kemp now has 31 stolen bases.
After the game I just had to go tell Vin Scully thank you for making the decision to come back for one more season. We Dodger fans are blessed to have Vin Scully with us for 62+ years. Here is the short video that my friend Lorena taped:
Thank you Lorena!
Here is another video telling Vin we Love him.
Well I am off to Dodger Stadium early today as I am a volunteer for SABR today to recruit new members. Come stop by in the Reserved section.

Thanks! And congratulations to you on starting College! How exciting!
Not only are we getting Vin Scully back but HOF Jaime Jarrin who has been broadcasting the Dodger games in Spanish for the last 53 years announced he is also coming back for his 54th season. So 2012 will be Vin's 63rd and Jaime's 54rd year. Unbelievable ha?
What I love about Vin is that he speaks as if he were a wize uncle sitting in the chair next to me. I don't always have to listen to him as he prattles about statistics from 1889, but if I care to pay attention I could learn a little. He never seems to stop talking but he always has something worthwhile to say. I've been listening to Vin all my life as far as I can remember, and that spans over 50 years. Keep it up, Vin.
Late responding. being so busy. Thanks Ron!
Randy, Isnt great we r getting both of them back? Jaime is a class act. a true gentleman that always has time when I stop him to greet him.
Mike, welcome. I am always learning something from Vin. Love his baseball

Lawyer charged in fatal hit and run crash
Former city attorney Christopher Sullivan will face charges today for a fatal hit-and-run crash in Rutlands downtown last month.
Three weeks after Jane Outslay, 71, of Mendon was killed crossing Strongs Avenue, the Vermont attorney generals office announced Wednesday that Sullivan, 53, of Rutland will answer to felony counts of leaving the scene of a fatal crash and driving under the influence with death resulting.
Both charges carry a potential 15-year jail sentence.
Sullivan, who remains free, was cited to appear in Rutland criminal court at 1 p.m. today.
Assistant Attorney General Cindy Maguire said she couldnt comment on details of the case or whether bail would be sought for the former longtime city attorney.
However, a pair of search warrants that were returned to Rutland criminal court Wednesday stated that Sullivan told police he consumed at least three glasses of wine and three beers in the hours before the crash.
In the warrants, which police obtained to seize the 2004 Lexus sedan Sullivan was driving on the night of the crash as well as his cell phone, Detective Sgt. Albert Abdelnour said Sullivan told police he began drinking about three hours before the crash.
At about 5:10 p.m. on April 10, Sullivan said he visited a bar on Center Street where he drank three glasses of wine. When he left the bar, he traveled to a cookout at a friends house on Hazel Street in the northwest section of the city. He told police he ate some ribs and drank three to four beers, court records show.
At about 7:45 p.m., Sullivan said, he left the cookout to pick up his son, who was working at Hannafords supermarket off Route 7 in Rutland Town.
As he was driving on Strongs Avenue at about 8 p.m., Sullivan allegedly told investigators, he heard a thud.
He advised that it was raining and his windshield wipers were on, Abdelnour wrote. He advised that he panicked and did not stop. He drove to the Hannafords parking lot in (Rutland Town), where he noticed that his car had damage to its hood and windshield.
Sullivan then made a phone call to ask advice of his longtime legal partner, Rutland attorney Paul Kulig, according to court documents. Kulig, who was with Sullivan earlier in the evening, told Sullivan that an ambulance had arrived at the scene on Strongs Avenue and a person was taken to the hospital.
Sullivan then drove home and parked his car behind his garage, where it stayed until the next day when he went to the city police department with his attorney. At 1 p.m. on April 11, about 17 hours after the crash, Sullivan identified himself as the driver in the crash that killed Outslay.
Mr. Sullivan would advise that he did not feel he was impaired or intoxicated at the time of the incident, Abdelnour wrote.
Kulig could not be reached Wednesday.
Michael Kennedy, legal counsel for the Vermont Bar Association, and Cheryl Hanna, a professor with the Vermont Law School, were asked if Kulig had a duty to report Sullivans involvement in the crash on the night of the incident. Both said Sullivans conversation with Kulig was privileged due to attorney-client confidentiality.
The circumstances of the crash that killed Outslay, the well-known owner of a popular eatery in town, have outraged many in the community who have called for Sullivans arrest since the day he identified himself as the driver.
But Rutland Police Chief James Baker, and other police and prosecutors, have said that Sullivan was receiving no special treatment by remaining free during an investigation that police have said was intended to be thorough.
Sullivan served as city attorney the citys legal counsel and deputy city attorney for 19 years until 2007.
