"put up with paying the M$ tax while not needing it."

->This is a ludicrously childish statement (and sentiment).

What separates the software developer from the dentist who does work on your teeth? Do you abhore having to pay the "Tooth tax"?

Or how about the people that work down at the local mall selling shoes? Do you abhore having to pay the shoe tax? Should we all get our shoes free?

The point is in exchange for their work on creating software (which I agree with Anonymous2), you trade them your life energy (money that you earned in a trade, doing work, etc) for that software.

Anonymous2: Totally agree. I've used nearly every linux distro under the sun and am currently using Fedora 14 at home, and Windows 7 in my office. Windows 7 is WAY more work friendly than any modern Linux distro. I can pin my apps to the task bar, right click those apps and launch recently opened documents/locations.

That's not to say Windows doesn't have it's problems, it does.

But as I said, I've had my fair share of linux problems and a lot of them stem from the developers closed minded email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551341941797780401.post-19714042426817188432011-01-13T03:10:02.168-08:002011-01-13T03:10:02.168-08:00@Pedro Mateus: I had not seen your comment, sorry ...@Pedro Mateus: I had not seen your comment, sorry for not replying earlier.

I checked on my Windows 7 box and the default schedule in my case is that it is set up to run weekly on a given day and time. In other words, in my case it is not true that it will run when the computer is idle. I am not 100% sure that applies to other Windows 7 instances or if it is a custom setting on HP installations.

In any case, your argument about torrent download is not that strong, to be honest. I think you are looking at it from your perspective, but loads of Windows 7 users out there don't even know what torrents are and what they are used for. Most non-technical users I know will simply turn on their computer so they can jump into social networking, email, chat or perhaps play a game. I can't think of many computer illiterate people who would leave their computer idle long enough for a full defragmentation to complete.

On a different note, I, like you, have been using Windows much longer than Linux, and I could also dare to say I am an advanced user who follows best practices. In just 3 months since I got Windows 7, my drive is already 10% fragmented, and I am not installing big games or applications, nor copying/removing data massively.

Fragmentation in Linux is unnoticeable. I keep an Ubuntu Studio 9.04 installation that I intensively use for Audio recording. If you have used such kind of applications (Ardour) you know there is massive abuse of the hard drive through huge levels of undo, because the application keeps all tracks that are recorded, regardless of whether they are eliminated from the GUI. That means you quickly end up with projects that exceed several GBs in size if you are not careful... What's the solution? Clean up those unused sources, which again, would delete lots of files of considerable size.

Now, I used Windows to do my audio recording not long ago, and my drive was "destroyed" in a matter of months, forcing me to constantly keep an eye on fragmentation. In Ubuntu Studio, I am yet to notice a bit of performance degradation after almost three years.

It's good to read theoretical stuff about how EXT3/4 is supposed to suffer from fragmentation, but there's nothing like real live testing to find out whether those claims are actually true. My experience tells me it's like 10 to 1 if we compare Windows and Linux fragmentation.

Hi Chema, I've read your article as well.

And I have a couple of things I'd like you to consider:

Having been a windows user for the best part of my 1/4 of a century, only got into Linux in the past 2 years, I dare say I know windows like the back of my hand. From 3.11 to 7, I've seen the best and the worst.

Regarding the fragmentation issues, Windows 7 will constantly defragment the HDD when the computer is "idle", why the quotes? Imagine you leave the PC on overnight to download a torrent, by the time you wake up, the system will have defragged your hard drive, twice if the torrent agravated the fragmentation.

The decrease in performance overtime I all I can say is: Linux suffers from this well, not so much, true, but it still does. I remember when I tried Linux Mint 9 it only took a week of improper maintenance that the system slowed to a crawl. So if proper maintained Windows 7, like Linux, will not degrade overtime. There are loads of software that allow the almost instant maintenance of windows, CCleaner comes to mind. it also removes clutter from the registry.

Regarding stablity well... Let's just say that since 3D modeling became my bread and butter, I've required a PC with a decent graphics board. Until this christmas I had an Acer Aspire 1692WlMi, it was powered by a x16 PCI Express Radeon Mobility x700. I was stuck with the LTS of Elyssa (LM5) and all attempts to improve that caused either the inability to use my graphics board to the full extent of it's ability, kernel panics and black screens of death (BSOD's aren't just in Windows). While in windows 7, which I have been using since the early stages of the betas, I lost nothing, I had the full 3D and 2D OpenGL Acceleration paired with a modern OS.

But I'll agree to one thing, Hardware intuitivity, specifically printers and other picky pieces of hardware, is still much better in Linux than in Windows 7, even with the added ability to download drivers directly from windows update, Microsoft's OS still is a long ways from Ubuntu's hardware manageability.

In my opinion, the good news is that the Linux desktop is closer than ever to the standard, so the future is looking bright.

The reason I sent you an email was because I had indeed looked at Fuduntu, but I thought it would be great to run a few questions by you, like a small interview, so readers can get a bit more understanding about creating a distro and why you made the choices you made.

My first email was simply me asking you if you'd be alright with answering my questions, so just let me know and I will send them over to your tips account (or whatever works out for you, really)

I'm not sure that EXT4 is better than NTFS and conversely I don't think NTFS is better than EXT4. I think they are both acceptably stable and mature file systems.

We can agree to disagree about stability, there is nothing wrong with that. My experience comes from helping others with their Linux problems over the last decade, so sometimes it is hard for me to ignore the issues.

By the way, have you given Fuduntu a test run? I saw your comment but I never received an email from you. Send it again, be happy to take a look at it.FEWThttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551341941797780401.post-76031661231892527752010-12-16T08:05:45.292-08:002010-12-16T08:05:45.292-08:00@Fewt: Wow, you really read fast, my friend! ;-)...@Fewt: Wow, you really read fast, my friend! ;-)

I did talk about Linux fragmentation: "Disk fragmentation problems exist, but they are nowhere near as severe as they are in Windows..."

And I stand by that! ;-)

On the whole crash thingy, I have to say I thought you were comparing Windows 7 with previous, certainly less stable versions of Windows.

In my opinion, the crash examples you shared there are more like bugs, which Ubuntu has its fair share of, but so does Windows 7?

I don't know, I believe both are very stable for the average user, but if Windows 7 has an edge, it's probably because it must. I would like to see what Linux developers could achieve in terms of stability if they had the same level of hardware support Windows enjoys, for example.Chema Martínhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551341941797780401.post-49058674570890492012010-12-16T07:41:11.314-08:002010-12-16T07:41:11.314-08:00@tomas, if ext4 fragmentation wasn't that low,...@tomas, if ext4 fragmentation wasn't that low, there would be no need for an online defrag.

Using your argument, Windows 7 auto-defrag capability makes fragmentation so low that it is unnoticeable.

My "for loop" example is a real world test case for:

Suspend, unsuspend, suspend, unsuspend, suspend, unsuspend

poof. This is a common use case for someone with a mobile computer like a laptop. I can re-create it with a for loop, or by using my Thinkpad off of it's docking station for more than a few hours.

SSD corruption, is another real world scenario brought to light by a desktop user, and acknowledged by Canonical:

http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=78939

Panic with RFKill is also a real world example (triggered by a user pressing FN-F2 to turn off WIFI on an Eee PC with Ubuntu 9.10).

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/404626

All of my examples are real world scenarios, don't assume that they aren't because I used different wording than a non technical end user. Also don't assume that I don't know what I am talking about because I can assure you that I do.FEWThttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551341941797780401.post-51929932466030227372010-12-16T07:12:02.694-08:002010-12-16T07:12:02.694-08:00@FEWT ext4 fragmentation is so low that it's u...@FEWT
ext4 fragmentation is so low that it's unnoticeable.

None of the methods to sabotage kernel you mentioned are something that desktop users do. Also can you show REAL examples of how to invoke kernel panic instead of just "I once tried that and it worked then"?tomashttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551341941797780401.post-86148680124421992252010-12-16T05:42:59.350-08:002010-12-16T05:42:59.350-08:00"Note that this article is by no means an att..."Note that this article is by no means an attempt to troll, bash or demean Fewt's opinion, which I very much respect."

I AM OFFENDED! (just kidding)

I enjoyed this read, you make a lot of great points, I only really disagree with two of them.

Fragmentation is the first and only because EXT4 also suffers from file fragmentation issues.

For more info about that see this article:

http://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4#head-38e6ac2b5f58f10989d72386e6f9cc2ef7217fb0

Second is that Linux doesn't crash, I have so many examples of trivial methods to invoke a kernel panic that it is near impossible to argue that Linux is stable. Remember, in Ubuntu 9.10 triggering a panic was as simple as using rfkill.

In Fedora 13, I could do it with a for loop that removed and reinserted a kernel module for a WIFI adapter.

Lets also not forget about the library issue in Ubuntu that caused SSDs to have to be overwritten with DD in order for them to be used after installing the OS.

These reasons are why I argue that it isn't stable. ;)FEWThttp://email@example.com

They have good reasons.
Test scores are consistently well above state averages. Graduation rates are commendable. The facilities are excellent and being improved each year. Its teachers are dedicated to the children and loved by parents. Sure, there are faults and blemishes to be found, but that is to be expected.

Dear editor,
ATLANTA — The reduction in reporters covering the statehouse may be impacting more than just the journalists or the politicians and could play a role in the quality of government.
That's the takeaway from a study recently released by the Pew Research Center Journalism Project. Its census of the 1,592 journalists in the 50 states provides a snapshot of who is keeping an eye on things, and when added to regular surveys that had been conducted by the American Journalism Review, provides insights on staffing trends.
The state's population is becoming less white as the percentage of black, Latino and Asian residents increases. In theory, the growing diversity means Georgia could become less Republican in its voting patterns and might evolve from a red state to a purple state or even a blue Democratic state.
These demographic trends are a major reason why Democrats are enthusiastic about the candidacies of Michelle Nunn and Jason Carter in this year's races for governor and the U.S. Senate.
America is supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave.
But as we become bogged down in our many problems, I see, unfortunately, a mentality in which we are becoming increasingly a nation of the unfree – the victim – and the timid, in how we're approaching these challenges.

Pothole poses a real risk to drivers
It mightn't have assumed the proportion of a counterpart in Cork that has gained worldwide infamy on the internet, but a pothole on the Rock Road if left much longer can do a lot of harm and perhaps cause serious hurt or even a fatal accident.
One can' t imagine it growing that deep that anybody will be able to swim in it like in Kanturk where a local man caused such a stir by stripping off and jumping into the water filled five foot deep crater.
He then posted a video on the internet.
It had the desired effect with council officials immediately appearing to fill in the pothole.
There's not likely to be as dramatic a way to draw attention and get Louth County Council to act and close the local pothole that has been allowed to remain for quite a while without so far seemingly no serious accident.
It is located in a very awkward part of the road virtually on the crest of one of the three hills on the Road, between the junction with Sandy Lane and Elm Park.
For an unsuspecting motorist it poses a big risk to safety and to walkers who frequently use the road.
The pothole is visible only as the driver comes upon it and it's easy to end up in it, and suffering damage to your car, which is the preferable outcome, if far from welcome.
During darkness even those who are aware of the pothole can easily drive into it.
Far worse if the driver swerves and a car is coming over the hill on the other side, and a collision occurs.
Put a pedestrian or regular walker at the location, and the potential for a tragic result is easily imagined.
We all know that councils like every household are finding it hard to manage their budget. But surely Louth County Council can spare some stone and tar to fill up the pothole until it is able to permanently repair the spot.

Issue No. 01 - January-March (2009 vol. 16)

Recent advances in pervasive computers, networks, telecommunication, and information technology, along with the proliferation of multimedia-capable mobile devices, such as laptops, portable media players, personal digital assistants, and cellular telephones, have stimulated the development of intelligent and pervasive multimedia applications. The new multimedia standards (for example, MPEG-21) facilitate the seamless integration of multiple modalities into interoperable multimedia frameworks, transforming the way people work and interact with multimedia data. These key technologies and multimedia solutions interact and collaborate with each other in increasingly effective ways, contributing to the multimedia revolution and having a significant impact across a wide spectrum of consumer, business, healthcare, education, and governmental domains.
With the rapid increase in the penetration rate of pervasive multimedia services, coupled with the imminent deployment of 3G wireless infrastructure, users are more ready than ever to enjoy those services. What is really revolutionary here is that, we not only can enjoy these services in a passive way (for example, watching videos), but also can customize services by deciding what information we want to receive and how it's delivered.
The six articles selected for this special issue provide excellent coverage of the areas we've outlined, and deal with interactive multimedia education, quality of service (QoS) control in multimedia content delivery, multimedia service personalization, peer-to-peer multimedia streaming, mobile TV, and VoIP systems.
Articles in this issue
In seeking to merge pervasive multimedia computing and education, Cheng, Basu, and Goebel, in "Interactive Multimedia for Adaptive Online Education," propose an innovative Computer Reinforced Online Multimedia Education framework. Crome integrates multimedia computing in the main components of online education, including learning, teaching, and testing, and facilitates both adaptive testing and student modeling. In addition, Crome features support for drag-and-drop design, logical-mathematical items, multimedia educational games, as well as the use of multimedia computing in improving and evaluating students' cognitive skills.
QoS poses new research challenges for global quality assurance for Web services and multimedia streaming. In "A Framework for Using Web Services to Enhance QoS for Content Delivery," Buccafurri et al. propose an integrated approach for quality definition, monitoring, and fault prediction. The approach is based on a two-layer structure for multimedia service delivery—service composition and real-time, multimedia content delivery—and exploits the unique advantages offered by data-mining techniques. Moreover, it includes a module for predicting QoS faults and a module for possible adaptation and recovery through a machine-learning approach. The approach represents a unique contribution to prior work because, although there have been extensive studies on network-based multimedia services, a large-scale implementation to study guaranteed QoS control is still unavailable.
In "Multimedia Service Provisioning and Personalization on Grid-Based Infrastructures: Now and the Future," Li, Veeravalli, and Li provide a survey on the demands of multimedia services over scalable systems as well as a wide range of challenging issues in this field. The article identifies key technology components for multimedia service provisioning over grid-based infrastructures, and shows that promoting personalization and interactive service can improve the network-client population.
While two of the previous articles focus on QoS control and provisioning for multimedia services, the article entitled "Analyzing Voice Quality in Popular VoIP Applications" by Sat and Wah focuses on a general method for evaluating the quality of systems that provide a special kind of multimedia service: VoIP. In particular, the authors propose an objective evaluation method and use it to compare the conversational quality of four VoIP systems in repeatable network and conversational conditions. The results show that none of them attain the best quality under all conditions.
Among the wide range of multimedia services, mobile TV is perceived as an emerging service that enhances TV experience by bringing traditional TV services and on-demand audiovisual content to mobile devices. In "Digital Television for Mobile Devices," Zhou et al. present a survey of recent advances in mobile TV technologies and standards. In particular, the authors compare and contrast those technologies and identify future trends in mobile TV.
Finally, in "Deployment Issues in Scalable Island Multicast for Peer-to-Peer Streaming," Jin et al. propose the Scalable Island Multicast (SIM) protocol for peer-to-peer media streaming through integrating IP multicast and overlay delivery. The authors study various practical deployment issues related to SIM, including fault tolerance and the impact of a network address translator. The authors show, through simulations, that SIM can achieve higher delivery efficiency and a lower loss rate compared to existing overlay protocols.
Final thoughts
While these articles cover a collection of recent techniques and novel applications in the area of intelligent and pervasive multimedia systems, several issues related to multimedia modeling, specification, analysis, and design of these systems still remain challenging. One appealing research challenge, for example, is the efficient indexing, mining, and retrieval of multimedia data in a pervasive environment. Another interesting issue is related to the development of human-friendly user interfaces and the related standards and user-interaction models. Yet another issue is how to design the distributed multimedia system architecture so users are guaranteed full services without being aware of the underlying communications and computing techniques.

I am only 27 and I have what appears to be under eye circle, but I think are just deep nasojugal grooves. Would a filler help?
How to Fix Nasojugal Groove? (photo)
Doctor Answers 12
Filler such as Restylane in the nasojugal groove (tear trough)
Facial filler can work wonders in the nasojugal groove when there is a true tear trough deformity. Fillers work best when there is a "hill-valley-hill" under the eye, I.e. a depression that needs filling. It is a little difficult to tell from your photos if you truly have this "valley", though I suspect th at you do to some extent. When people have a true tear trough deformity (a true "valley"), it's a trick of the light and shadow that makes th e udder eye circle look dark. And filler can get rid of this. However, if your dark circles are from pigmentation, then filler will not help.
I suspect that you could benefit from under eye filler, but you would need to be evaluated in person to really be sure. Please be sure to choose a highly trained injector such as a facial plastic surgeon, plastic surgeon, or dermatologist to perform your injections. I would caution that you often get what you pay for in terms of filler.
Improving the lid-cheek junction and nasojugal groove
With an experienced injector, you would achieve excellent results by filling this area. Restylane and Belotero work best at smoothing the lid-cheek junction and smoothing the nasojugal groove.
Fixing the nasojugal groove
I'd say your best option would be to have a highly trained and experienced injector such as a dermatologist treat you with 1cc of restylane. Then, reassess in 2 weeks, and if need be, another 1cc/syringe of restylane can be added if need be. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.

Restylane under the eyes
Dear K27,
- It looks like you would be an excellent candidate for Restylane
- Please pick your injector wisely as this area has to be injected with great precision for best results
- It would usually take between 1-2cc's of product, any leftover can be saved for a future touch up
Best regards,
Nima Shemirani

Dark Circles - Tear Trough Area
Hi K. We would use 1-2 CC's of Restylane injected "under the muscle". If using 2 CC's it should last around 1 year. be careful of using thicker products like Perlane or Radiesse as these can be very tricky and difficult to make look good in this area. Good luck.
Web reference: http://www.celibre.com/RestylaneInjectionsBeforeAfterPicturesPhotos.aspx
Tear trough deformity
K27, Tear troughs or nasal jugal grooves can often present themselves as dark circles or hollows. The dark circles are often a a result of shadowing. Adding volume to this area can often correct the problem and give you a fresh less fatigued look! HA fillers or fat are the two most common ways to treat this area. Find someone in your area that has experience in treating this area...it's a little more complicated than treating nasal labila folds.
Anthony E. Brissett MD
Nasojugal groove - how to fix it
The darkness you have is from a deep groove in the tear trough, and yes, it can be fixed with properly placed filler. I would recommend Restylane, and seeing an experienced board-certified physician in your area.
Tear trough depression
K27, A depression in this area is quite common and tends to run in families. Fillers can be helpful but seek someone with experience. Surgically, a "SOOF lift blepharoplasty" will eradicate this depression; I have seen and treated quite a few patients in your age group over the past 25 years. Good luck!
Best Treatment for Deep Naso-Jugal Groove
Hi K, Properly placed filler would correct the loss of volume in your naso-jugal groove. I would use only Restylane in the immediate area beneath your eye, and use any of the other fillers below that. Most importantly choose your injecting physician most carefully for the treatment of this delicate and most unforgiving area. Good luck and be well. Dr. P

This is not only economically favourable; it also results in a modern and minimalistic design, boosting the spatial experience. The glazed sides ensure a perfect finish. This new, large size is available in various white and grey shades, and in both stonematt and gloss finishes. A mixed application results in dynamic walls. 30thirty also links up seamlessly with the Greys® floor tiles.

La Sylphide/A Dolls House
The Houston Ballet features a war to end all wars in Mattel terms. The dance company closes its season with the world premiere of A Dolls House, a ballet that pits teddy bears against action figures and Barbies against Kens in an all-out battle to be King (or Queen) of the toy store. HB Artistic Director Stanton Welch set the steps to this combative staging of István Mártas percussion composition A Dolls House Story. Welch says he was inspired by Mártas description of the music. He wrote the synopsis like a news feed, Welch says. It included phrases like, The teddy bear has just been massacred in the toy castle The Barbie is suspected.
Thanks to the somewhat graceful nature of kung fu, creating a piece that reflected dance as much as battle wasnt as difficult as most would think. It lends itself well in the shape [of ballet], Welch says. The choreography is not the only thing that will catch your eye; the entire piece is only a half step away from the style of anime including a standout character based on Aquaman.
The performance also includes Danish ballet master Johnny Eliasens staging of August Bournonvilles 1836 La Sylphide. This Romantic Era classic depicts the story of a farmer in Scotland who falls in love with a fairy. (We thought that kind of thing only happened in Ireland

Remote Liftgate Opening
If my Summit has sat for an hour or more, I noticed that in order to open the liftgate with the key FOB without first opening the other doors, I have to press the key FOB 4 rapid times. If the vehicle has only sat a few minutes, then it just requires the 2 rapid clicks. Seems like the module goes to sleep to fast.
On the 2012 Overland, it worked with only 2 rapid clicks for at least a day after least use. Anyone else notice the same? Or do I have to add that to the list for a dealer visit?
Re: Remote Liftgate Opening
Haven't had this issue with my Overland. I parked at work today and went out at lunch after the vehicle had been sitting for over 4 hours to load a computer in the back and it opened with just 2 clicks of the fob.
Re: Remote Liftgate Opening
Thanks. No doubt the module for the liftgate is going to sleep to quickly. I'll bet the dealer won't have a clue how to look for that problem.
And the defect list keeps growing.
Re: Remote Liftgate Opening
I know when I press the liftgate FOB 2X rapidly, I can hear a module waking up, but the liftgate doesn't open. I notice that the instrument gauges light up. Then after doing this, when the FOB button is pressed twice again, the liftgate opens.
Anyone else with a Summit notice the same thing? Thanks
Milous, by chance is there a TSB for this?
Re: Remote Liftgate Opening
Check your lift gate to see if its off of center. Several people are saying that their lift gates are not coming up because they are hitting the right side of the car. Look and see if you have no gap on the right but a bigger gap on the left. It will sometimes stick.
Re: Remote Liftgate Opening
Just seems like the car or the module for the liftgate goes into sleep mode to fast, yet the fob works the other 4 doors on 1 click.
I wonder if I disconnected the vehicle battery for a few minutes and reconnected it would that reset the module?
Re: Remote Liftgate Opening
Yep, my Limited does the same thing. I haven't tried to time it yet to see when it changes but I let it sit overnight then it takes 2 x 2 clicks for the tailgate to open. After that, for some amount of time, it only takes 1 x 2 clicks to open it.
My tailgate came from the factory with what seems to be perfect alignment.
Re: Remote Liftgate Opening
I also haven't timed it but it doesn't take long to not work properly. I notice that when I know it isn't going to open on the first 2X click, that I can hear a sound (module) which lights up the instrument panel and shifter handle. Then after doing another 2X click, then the liftgate opens like it was designed. I'm sure the dealer won't have a clue as to how to diagnose this problem. I'll wait till someone else gives the dealer a try.
Also glad the your liftgate alignment is fine.
I wonder if I disconnect the battery for a few minutes, then reconnect it, maybe the problem might correct itself?
Re: Remote Liftgate Opening
Have you tried going a little slower. Could be the first click wakes the module and you need to give it a bit of time before the next click.
Re: Remote Liftgate Opening
Just wonder if disconnecting the battery will cause any other problems? Anyone have a problem after R&R the negative battery cable?
I know it will probably lose the presets on the radio and seat settings, but maybe it will do the trick.
Re: Remote Liftgate Opening
Update - I R&R the negative battery cable for like 20 minutes. Didn't make any difference.
Re: Remote Liftgate Opening
For other 2014 WK2 owners with the remote liftgate.
Just to clarify. On my 2012 WK2 Overland, even if the rest of the vehicle was locked or unlocked, by pressing the keyfob 2X, the liftgate would open. Note that I didn't have to unlock the other doors with 1 click on the open button first to the get the liftgate to open with 2 clicks.
But on my 2014 WK2 Summit, again it doesn't matter if the vehicle is locked or unlocked, to open the liftgate, it requires two double clicks on the liftgate keyfob button.
Just wondering since on the other Jeep forum, a couple have mentioned that you first have to unlock the vehicle with 1 click on the unlock button for all the entire vehicle, then click 2X on the liftgate button to get the liftgate to open. IF this is the correct procedure, then my 2014 is working peoperly. So which is it? Thank you

Bouvier House Sells for $8.6 Million
An O Street house, built in 1874 and once owned by the mother of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, has sold for $8.6 million. It also has been owned by Armistead Peter, Laughlin Phillips and Louis Mackall. Janet Lee Bouvier and High Auchincloss owned it in the 1960s.
Washington Fine Properties managed the deal for owner Donald Roth of EMP Global, who bought it in 2001 for $3.7 million. WFP agents Kimberly Casey and Daryl Judy represented the buyer, while Willliam F.X. Moody, Robert Hryniewicki and Adam Rackliffe represented Roth.
Bill and Hillary Clinton looked at the corner house at 3044 O Street, across from Christ Church, in 2000 but instead chose to move to the most secluded Whitehaven Street.

Vladimir Putin's speech annexing the Crimea echoes the language of a new political ideology being formulated in Russia, according to Canadian journalist Doug Sanders. A melange of postmodernism, nationalism, and Russian Orthodox mysticism, it goes by the name of "Eurasianism" or "National Bolshevism" (cf. "National Socialism" ).
The ideology's founder is Alexander Dugin, who calls his movement a "Fourth Way" between liberal democracy, fascism, and communism. Though the big enemy is liberal democracy, so that he calls on an alliance between fascists, communists, Islamists, and other pre-modern forces to overthrow it. He describes his ideology as "socialism without materialism, atheism, progressivism and modernism." Read about it after the jump, noting my highlights, and then read my reflections.
From Doug Sanders, Has Putin bought into these dangerous ideas? – The Globe and Mail:
His speech's blend of Orthodox Christian ethnic-Russian nationalism with conspiratorial anti-Americanism is a major tip of the hat to the movement known as neo-Eurasianism, an ultra-nationalist political philosophy whose explosive language has become either Mr. Putin's new guiding belief or, more likely, an important rhetorical tool in his political arsenal.
The central figure in this movement is the bearded philosopher Alexander Dugin, who has played an on-and-off advisory role in Mr. Putin's political party for 14 years and who has frequently spoken to the media on behalf of Kremlin interests during the Ukraine crisis.
In the years after communism collapsed, Mr. Dugin and other activists revived Eurasianism, a pre-communist movement that saw the Russians as a fully independent third "civilization" between East and West. To this he added more Orthodox mysticism, the ideas of Martin Heidegger and of anti-globalization thinkers such as Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt, a sprinkling of gender studies and critical theory, and came up with a movement whose declared enemies are liberal democracy, modernism and the Enlightenment, which he sees not as ideas with their own proud and independent history in Russia (which they are) but as tainted Western imports.
In 1992, months after the Soviet Union collapsed, Mr. Dugin wrote proudly that "the Endkampf, the final struggle will burst upon us very soon … the decisive hour is already at hand, the hour of Eurasia. The great war of the continents is approaching."
It is unlikely (we can hope) that these words are what Mr. Putin has had in mind when his speeches have referred to neo-Eurasian ideas. After all, the President showed little sign of being an ethnic nationalist or Eurasianist during his first two terms in office, or even the beginning of his third; this new language has emerged in recent years, after Russia's liberal middle class revolted against him and he sought a new political base.
Rather, he seems to be drawing from Mr. Dugin's 2009 manifesto The Fourth Political Theory, which became a sensation in Moscow circles. The other three political theories to which the title alludes are liberalism, fascism and communism; the first, (economic and political liberalism, including liberal democracy), is to be opposed by all means possible. Fascists and communists, Islamists and "defenders of the spiritual traditions of the pre-modern West" are described as crucial allies in this struggle. He refers to his own ideology, the fourth, not just as neo-Eurasianism but frequently as "National Bolshevism" (a reference to National Socialism – he is an admirer of the Nazi legacy). He describes his ideology as "socialism without materialism, atheism, progressivism and modernism."
This sounds very much like fascism, as I study it in my book Modern Fascism: Liquidating the Judeo-Christian Worldview (Concordia Scholarship Today). The difference seems to be that the National Socialists were arrayed against every facet of the Biblical worldview, as symbolized by the Jews, seeking to "purge civilization of its Jewish elements"; that is, the influence of the Bible. The Nazis sought to purge even Christianity of its "Jewish elements," which liberal cultural Christianity–which had already downplayed the authority of Scripture–was quite able to accommodate. (See my book, which documents all of this.)
This Russian version of fascism–and there were fascist movements for the whole range of nations and ethnic groups in Europe–seems to integrate fascist thinking with Russian Orthodox Christianity. I'm curious how that works.
And I have a question for my Orthodox friends and readers: What do you make of this? Western Christianity, both in its Roman Catholic and its Protestant forms, is "catholic"; that is, it is a universal religion for every nation, language, and tribe (as it says in Revelations). There are often efforts to turn it into a cultural religion–that is, a religion that gives spiritual authority to a particular culture–but that usually doesn't last long, since any remnant of Biblical teaching will undermine that perspective.
My assumption is that Orthodoxy too is such a "catholic" faith, and yet it definitely has strong ethnic ties. And Russian Orthodoxy seems to lend itself to supporting that mystical view of Russia that goes back through Dostoevsky. Is Russian Orthodoxy a special case, perhaps a distortion of orthodox Orthodoxy? Or is there something in the Orthodox theology of culture that lends itself to this kind of politics?
Also, could a form of Dugin's ideology take hold here, in the various nations of Western Europe and the United States? Aren't even many of us conservatives looking for a Fourth Way? Might a "socialism without materialism, atheism, progressivism and modernism" sound attractive? Maybe what many of us conservatives are looking for is a liberalism without socialism, materialism, atheism, progressivism, and modernism.
Still, could this new ideology be the wave of the future, either as a political ideology here or as the major rival of Western democracy in a new cold war?
In the meantime, as all of this unfolds, I think people had better read my book:

Truck plans: Mitsubishi's Triton one-tonne truck might be built on a platform shared with Nissan's Navara in its next generation.
15 December 2010
By RON HAMMERTON
NISSAN and Mitsubishi are discussing joint development of a new Thai-built one-tonne ute, meaning future Navaras and Tritons are likely to come off a shared platform.
The proposed mutual ute – announced by the two companies in Japan yesterday in a range of co-operative model plans – would mimic similar arrangements between General Motors and Isuzu and Ford and Mazda.
In the meantime, production of Nissan's current Navara is set to shift from Nissan's own plant in Thailand to Mitsubishi's factory in that country, coming down the same production line as the Triton.
In a separate move, Nissan will supply a rebadged van to Mitsubishi, probably to replace the ancient Express, while in return, Mitsubishi will supply an SUV for Nissan to sell in the Middle East.
The two companies also will jointly develop a new mini car that could provide the basis for a next-generation i-MiEV, and are discussing a proposal for Nissan to provide upper-end models to Mitsubishi Motors for Japanese customers.
No time frame for the moves have been announced, so it is unclear if any of the shared models will be in showrooms any time soon.
Nissan and Mitsubishi, which already share mini cars and commercial vehicles in Japan, say the latest deals will not affect their relationships with existing partners. The Nissan-Renault Alliance shares technology with Daimler, while Mitsubishi Motors is in bed with Renault rival PSA Peugeot Citroen, sharing SUVs and electric cars.
From top: Nissan Navara D40, Nissan Navara D22, Nissan NV200 and Mitsubishi i-MiEV.Currently, Nissan sells two versions of its Navara in Australia – the flagship D40 Navara ST-X imported from Spain and the ageing D22 workhorse made in Thailand.
The D22 dates from 1997, and while it has been given periodic facelifts to lift its performance and presentation, its main advantage over newer rivals such as the top-selling HiLux and Triton is its price.
The newer and more upmarket D40 – a favourite with weekend warriors who want the comforts of a car, the utility of a truck and the 4x4 performance of an SUV– was launched five years ago.
It too has been given upgrades, including a heart transplant courtesy of a new class-leading 170kW/550Nm V6 diesel engine in recent weeks.
The Triton is younger than both of the Nissan light trucks, having been on the market since mid 2006.
But as an all-new Triton is unlikely for at least three years, any jointly developed replacement is probably some years away. If it eventuates, its primary goal would be to cut costs through sharing the development burden and joint production.
Ford and Mazda pool resources on their Ford Ranger/Mazda BT-50 one tonners, while GM and Isuzu do the same on their Colorado/D-Max ute.
The Nissan-Mitsubishi statement on the model-sharing arrangements says Nissan will provide a light van/wagon to Mitsubishi for the Japanese market.
Although there was no hint at what that might be, Nissan recently launched its new NV200 van at the IAA Light Commercial Vehicle Show in Hannover, Germany.
Also known as the Vanette, the NV200 is a Toyota HiAce competitor that is scheduled for launch in Australia in 2011.
Under Mitsubishi badges, it would be a handy replacement for the Mitsubishi Express, should the arrangement extend beyond Japan. Like Nissan's D22 Navara, the Express is one of the oldest vehicles on the Australian market.
In their official joint statement, Nissan and Mitsubishi said they had agreed to study new opportunities to generate additional synergies.
"The cooperation agreement between Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors will be complementary to any agreements the two parties have already established with other partners," they said.
Nissan president and CEO Carlos Ghosn said the agreement supported Nissan's expansion in emerging markets, met immediate capacity needs overseas and enabled it to grow its mini car business in Japan.
"Our relationship with Mitsubishi demonstrates the ability of the Renault-Nissan Alliance – with its network of global partnerships – to constantly evolve and create new win-win relationships with other companies in function of specific needs and shared objectives," he said.
Mitsubishi Motors president Osamu Masuko said: "This agreement to expand our business cooperation with Nissan is founded on our good business relationship since 2003, through several OEM (original equipment manufacturer) agreements of mini cars and commercial vehicles.
"I believe that the expansion of our OEM agreement will complement each others' regional characteristics and product lineup, and the one-ton pickup and mini car projects will be the best solution to strengthen each others' competitiveness."

In a letter to the city, an attorney for the Maloofs claims Sacramento's already behind schedule in the environmental impact review process. He also questions the affects that high speed rail, construction costs, and possible litigation might have on the project.
The city claims it is on time with its environmental review process and that the Maloofs concerns are based on outdated information.
The city also says the Maloofs agreed to a term sheet during the NBA All Star week in Orlando. The Maloofs say they didn't sign anything because they didn't want to pay predevelopment costs.
The National Basketball Association says it will pay up to $200,000 for the Maloofs. The NBA Board of Governor's meet April 12 and 13. The Kings will be on the agenda.
The Maloofs most recent statement says they are still on board with an arena deal.

The economic downturn and the slimming of operating margins has made efficiency a foremost goal for many recyclers. Suppliers to the recycling industry have responded to this need in many cases, introducing new products and technology that can help recyclers maximize their productivity and performance.
On the following pages, Recycling Today has assembled some of the products and technologies that have been introduced to the recycling industry in roughly the last 12 months. These products represent a variety of equipment categories, from container loading systems to balers to material handling equipment to separation and sorting technology to size-reduction equipment. While the diversity of products is considerable, they share a common goal of helping to improve the operational efficiency of recycling operations.
Al-Jon Manufacturing, Ottumwa, Iowa, has introduced a container loading system that it says will "dramatically improve" an operation's productivity and safety.
The 4020CLS container loader system is suitable for use with 20- or 40-foot containers, according to Al-jon. "Weighing 30,000 pounds heavier than our competitors, the Al-jon 4020CLS is built to last the most rugged applications," says Curt Spry, Al-jon scrap sales manager.
The 4020CLS features a hopper that an operator loads with a material handler. A digital readout alerts the operator as to when the maximum weight has been loaded. Then, with a press of a remote button, the 4020CLS automatically loads the container. The tractor trailer remains stationary during the loading cycle.
More information is available at www.al-jon.com.
Anvil Attachments, Slaughter, La., has introduced the "Live Mount" line of scrap handling grapples. The primary advantage of grapples in the Live Mount line is that they do not require a costly material handling machine, according to Anvil. Users can use a standard excavator, removing the bucket and installing the Live Mount grapple. No welding or modification of the excavator is required.
The other advantage offered by the Live Mount grapple is that both sides of the unit are "live" and articulate, Anvil says. Typically such grapples require one side to be fixed to the machine, meaning there is only one "live" side, while some grapples featuring two live sides require an additional hydraulic circuit to move the "fixed" side of the grapple.
More information is available at www.anvilattachments.com or by calling (225) 654-8222.
Eriez, Erie, Pa., has introduced the P-Rex Scrap Drum. Tim Shuttleworth, Eriez president and CEO, says, "P-Rex enables better meatball recovery than ever before thought possible."
According to a press release from Eriez, "Engineering breakthroughs give P-Rex the advantage in critical performance areas: superior edge-to-edge separation, no 'transfer point' drop in magnetic force and no decline in performance due to heat rise."
The P-Rex uses a permanent magnet rather than an electromagnet, which extends to the edge of the drum, according to the company, providing wider and more efficient separation.
The P-Rex also offers transfer of ferrous material, flipping it from magnetic pole to magnetic pole to magnetic pole, for improved cleanliness and recovery, the company says.
According to Eriez, P-Rex drum magnets outperform electromagnetic drums by more than 20 percent in hot and cold conditions. More information is available at www.eriez.com.
The HLO 5543 horizontal baler from Harris, Peachtree City, Ga., features a compact footprint, which makes it well-suited for use in tight spaces.
The baler is designed to be powerful as well as energy friendly, according to Harris. It is suitable for processing OCC (old corrugated containers), ONP (old newspapers), PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and other plastics. The HLO 5543 is suitable for use in distribution centers or for conveyor-fed and air-fed trim applications, according to the manufacturer.
More information is available at www.harrisequip.com.
The German company Herbold has introduced a machine that can both shred and granulate. It combines a feed hopper, hydraulic ram and granulator and is designed to accept an intermittent feeding of large quantities of material without the risk of material jamming, Herbold says.
The high cutting frequency and grinding chamber's design allow recyclers to transform a number of materials into finished products in a single step, according to the company. It also offers space savings, reduced maintenance costs and lower energy use than a two-machine system.
More information is available at www.herboldusa.net.
Javelin Manufacturing, based in Fort Wayne, Ind., has introduced an eddy current separator designed for the material recovery facility (MRF) market.
Javelin says its eddy current units are designed for ease of maintenance, with easy-access lubrication points, easy guard removal, a mechanical belt tensioning system and one-piece belt changes. Options include two- or three-split splitter box, vibratory feeders, controls and more, depending on the application.
The Javelin line includes specialized UBC (used beverage container) eddy currents as well as "higher performance" units for use in glass cleanup systems and electronic scrap recovery that are capable of capturing smaller nonferrous particles, according to the company.
More information is available at www.javelinmfg.com.
Kodiak Group, a Grayling, Mich.-based engineering and equipment company, has announced that its Metal-Miner separation system is available to the recycling industry.
Piston-actuated diverters sort and separate metals from an eddy current's discharge waste stream. The Metal-Miner initiates with an inlet feeder to spread out the material over the full width of the vulcanized belt array. High-speed sensors then communicate with downstream diverters, made of wear-resistant material, to separate the desired materials, according to the company.
More information is available at www.kodiakgrp.com.
Stamford, Conn.-based Lubo USA, the North American distributor of Lubo and TiTech recycling equipment, has introduced the Paper Magnet from Lubo Systems, based in the Netherlands, to the North American market.
The Paper Magnet is designed to remove paper, film and cardboard from containers in commingled material flows. It is suitable for dual- and single-stream residential systems as well as for systems processing C&D material and commercial and industrial material.
According to Lubo USA, the Paper Magnet offers high recovery and a short ROI in addition to be easy to operate.
More information is available at www.lubousa.com.
As the U.S. representative for MAS (Maschinen und Anlagenbau Schulz GmbH), Austria, Efactor3 LLC, Charlotte, N.C., has introduced to the North American market the DRD (Double Rotor Disc) dry cleaning system for plastics.
Cleaning is carried out using DRD technology developed by MAS associate Ekuma GmbH of Pucking, Austria.
According to Efactor3, the DRD is suitable for nearly all kinds of wet and contaminated plastic scrap with moisture levels of up to 30 percent containing impurities, such as dust, sand and soil, that are removable by friction.
The company says the DRD system operates at nearly half the cost of a conventional washing system. It combines a cleaning centrifuge and thermal drying and can be used with conventional washing plants.
More information is available at www.efactor3.com.
BT-Wolfgang Binder GmbH, an Austrian manufacturer of recycling equipment, has introduced its Redwave plastics processing system, which is distributed in the U.S. by Karl W. Schmidt & Associates, Commerce City, Colo.
This sensor-based sorting system begins with two input lines side-by-side. A ballistics separator sorts out foil and fine material. The optical sorter can sort for clear and colored PET plastic, identifying material using near-infrared spectroscopy and cameras. A metal detector to reject steel and nonferrous metals is optional.
More information is available at www.redwave.at/en/start-page or at www.karlschmidt.com.
Riverside Engineering, based in San Antonio, has introduced the M-69 Shredder Series.
The M-69 X 107 design uses many of the technological advances of the company's MegaShredder product line but offers a smaller size for companies processing from 3,000 to 8,000 tons per month.
When powered by a 2,500-horsepower drive motor, the M-69 shredder system is capable of processing more than 75 tons per hour, according to Riverside Engineering.
The complete system package includes shredder, motor drive, infeed, one magnet downstream, single-roll feeding, chute and controls package complemented by project management and installation services.
More information is available at www.megashredder.com.
Manufactured under license in North America by Hammermills International, Tulsa, Okla., the Seram UK 7460 shredder features a patent-pending "squeeze box" feed chute, which, according to the company, allows a 60-inch wide shredder to process a car. The 7460 is primarily designed to process miscellaneous scrap, according to Hammermills International.
The shredder uses a 74-inch diameter rotor, designed to use standard wear parts, which enables it to easily shred autos and miscellaneous scrap, Hammermills International says.
More information is available at www.hammermillsintl.com or by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
The REB-1 two-ram baler from Sierra International Machinery, Bakersfield, Calif., is designed to be the "recycle everything baler."
According to a Sierra news release, the baler can be deployed across the scrap metal and recycling industries. "It will bale all nonferrous material, including difficult-to-bale items like stainless steel, wire and radiators as well as recyclables such as OCC (old corrugated containers), plastics and paper," the company says.
The REB-1 features a remote power pack designed for ease of installation; a 3-micron filtration system that cleans the hydraulic oil when the baler is offline; and stationary shear knives with segmented, serrated edges that have four usable sides.
More information is available at www.sierraintl.com.
The U.S. Shredder & Castings Group, Trussville, Ala., has introduced the 98115 Heavy-Duty Scrap Shredder. The shredder joins rotors already in production at the company's manufacturing facility.
The 98115 includes U.S. Shredder's "E-Shred" Control System, which offers integrated control, data collection and Web-based solutions. It joins the company's 80108, 98115 and 120118 shredders.
More information is available at www.usshredder.com.
Vecoplan AG, with U.S. headquarters in High Point, N.C., has introduced its V-EBS reshredder.
The V-EBS offers high throughput and produces homogeneous granulate with few fines and almost no excess lengths, according to Vecoplan. It features two HiTorc synchronous electric motors with a total drive capacity of 406 kilowatts and a low rotor speed (infinitely selectable between approximately 150 and 250 rpm).
More information is available at www.vecoplan.com.
Winkle Industries, Alliance, Ohio, has introduced an addition to its line of lifting magnets that the company says will practically allow operators to combine a grapple and a magnet on the fly in the form of a permanent tower that is placed directly on top of the magnet.
The design is intended to address the limitations associated with using a magnet-grapple combination, according to Winkle.
Mark Volansky, director of sales for Winkle, says the grapple's tines close around the tower, and the tower suspends the magnet below the grapple, "allowing the operator clear view of the magnet for placement and ease of operation."

It's difficult to guess what you seek here.
My -corrci- (SJ) allows export of correlations as a Stata .dta file with one correlation per observation. My -corrtable- (SSC) supports graphical output.
Neither supports any flavour of *TeX or spreadsheet output.
Once a correlation matrix is much bigger than (say) 7 x 7, it's unwieldy for at least some kinds of presentation.
You may need to write your own program for customised output.

Citation: Lin, J.T. 2010. Identification of trihydroxy fatty acids in castor oil and the regiospecific quantification of the triacylglycerols by mass spectrometry. 239th American Chemistry Society National Meeting. Interpretive Summary: Ricinoleate, a monohydroxy fatty acid in castor oil, has many industrial uses such as the manufacture of bio-products, lubricant, plastics, paints and cosmetics. Trihydroxy fatty acids have different physical properties, e. g., viscosity, pouring point, from those of ricinoleate, and can be used in manufacturing bio-products with different physical properties. We report here the identification of new trihydroxy fatty acids in castor oil. The structures of the trihydroxy fatty acids were proposed. The trihydroxy fatty acids can be isolated from castor oil for industrial uses.
Technical Abstract: Ricinoleate, a monohydroxy fatty acid, has many industrial uses. Trihydroxy fatty acids can also be used in industry. We report here the identification of diacylglycerols and triacylglycerols containing trihydroxy fatty acids in castor oil. The C18 HPLC fractions of castor oil were used for mass spectrometry of lithium adducts to identify trihydroxy fatty acids and the acylglycerols containing trihydroxy fatty acids. Two diacylglycerols identified were triOH18:1-diOH18:1 and triOH18:0-OH18:1. Four triacylglycerols identified were triOH18:1-OH18:1-OH18:1, triOH18:0-OH18:1-OH18:1, triOH18:1-OH18:1-diOH18:1 and triOH18:0-OH18:1-diOH18:1. The structures of these two newly identified trihydroxy fatty acids were proposed as 11,12,13-trihydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid and 11,12,13- trihydroxyoctadecanoic acid. The locations of these trihydroxy fatty acids on the glycerol backbone were almost 100% at the sn-1,3 positions. The content of these acylglycerols containing trihydroxy fatty acids was at the level of about 1% or less in castor oil.

On Wednesday, I wrote that the Royals were in denial, seemingly unable to admit that change was necessary. Well, they admitted it Thursday, admitted it in a big way by naming Hall of Famer George Brett as their interim hitting coach. Whether Brett will succeed in his new role is an open question. The effect on manager Ned Yost also will be interesting, seeing as how it was Yost who sought the firing of hitting coach Kevin Seitzer at the end of last season. The Royals reassigned the two coaches they hired to replace Seitzer, Jack Maloof and Andre David, to the minor leagues. But one rival executive believes that the hiring of Brett actually will buy Yost more time, reasoning that the Royals will want to see how the team responds to such a dramatic step. Yost, in the final year of his contract, still will be in trouble if the Royals fail to snap out of their funk; the team has lost eight straight games and 19 of its last 23. As usual, Jim Fregosi is a hot name in scouting circles ...
