Resistive touchscreens are seen as old hat nowadays thanks to the dominance of finger-friendly capacitive touchscreens. However, this has had the side effect of doing away with the good old stylus. If you miss days of writing on a screen with a pen-like prodder, the Wacom Bamboo Stylus for iPads could be £25 well spent.
Capacitive screens don't respond to standard styli, because they sense conduction rather than pressure. Our fingers conduct, but an inert piece of plastic doesn't, and so is effectively invisible to a capacitive touchscreen. This is the tricky task ahead of the Wacom Bamboo Stylus - to convince a capacitive touchscreen that it's a finger, not a stylus.
It does this with a springy rubber teat that sits at the end of a high-quality metal pen. Feeling like a cross between rubber and skin, this nipple is your writing and drawing tool, and the only part of the stylus that a capacitive touchscreen will repond to.
The pen dismantles like a high-quality fountain pen, with a screw-on nib to keep the rubber nipple in place and a screwn-in end cap to hold the belt clip. Other capacitive styli we've tested have had the air of a throwaway accessory - understandable when most people are perfectly happy using their fingers, a feature built into most humans - but this one doesn't. It's classy, extremely well-made and worthy to stand up next to Apple's iPad 2.
More importantly, it's also weighted properly. There's a slight bias towards the front of the pen and it feels great in-hand - again, like a high-quality fountain pen. If you don't mind losing some of that traditional pen look, you can leave out the shirt clip as the end cap screws in further, turning the stylus into a near-seamless cylinder. In tech terms it's as simple as they come, but its two-tone design adds beauty to this simplicity.
The capacitive nubbin is replaceable, fitting over a little metal head at the end. Wacom doesn't currently seem to sell replacements from its own webstore, but we'll imagine they'll filter through in time. As the whole pen package costs just £24.99, they won't be able to charge too much either.

Starcast: Abhay, Divya Sridhar, Ninasam Ashwath, Bimbica, Shobaraj, Chitra Shenoy, Raju Thalikote and Harish Roy
Music: AM Neel
Producer: Smt Rajeshwari Virakthamath (Lokapura)
Direction: Mahesh Chinmayi
[xrr rating=1/5]
Mahesh Chinmayi's directed venture 'Saniha' has hit the screens all over starring the likes of Abhay, Divya Sridhar, Ninasam Ashwath, Bimbica, Shobaraj, Chitra Shenoy, Raju Thalikote and Harish Roy. AM Neel scores the music for this movie.
Saniha is a pretty ordinary flick that has no potential or interesting elements to get involved with. The story is much drastic and boring. The script is laced with utter flaws. The direction is super weak. The film is the product which is taste spoiling and best to be avoided.
The film is a tragic love tale between the two lovers who are childhood friends. The lovers Santhu (Abhay) and Savitha (Divya Sridhar) blossom the love between each other as they hail in life. But their love is not approved by their families. The father of Santhu Rudraiah (Shobaraj) operates an illegal business of liquor in town. He is against the Savitha's elder brother Ninasam. Savitha's marriage is fixed with some other guy and Santhu does not want his love to go to someone else. He creates havoc and in this procedure, he is beaten badly. Later the big tragedy happens to both the lovers.
Mahesh Chinmayi seems to be lacking in the art of filmmaking. He is not a good story teller. He fails to generate the interest level for the viewers, who cannot hold themselves in theaters till the end. Making a viewer sit in theater till the end reels is an art a director possesses. But this director lacks in the required skills of filmmaking.
The story is pretty mundane and is devoid of any interest level. The script is laced with many flaws. Not for a single moment, the viewer finds this film alluring. And there is no single scene in the movie that captures the breath.
The music of the film is ear-disturbing. Cinematography is below average. Editing is poor. Dialogues are ordinary. The performances of the movie are badly delivered. Abhay disappoints the viewers. He needs to have training in acting. Divya enacts the role badly. Ninasam is just about okay. Rest of the cast is boring in acting department.
Final Verdict:
On the whole, Saniha is a super bad movie. Don't even go near to the theater where it is playing. Avoid yourself from the bad effects of this flick.

Any cat that does not shed?
Breed of cat that does not shed its hair or fur.

All animals, even we humans, shed our "fur" or hair. There is a breed called a Sphynx that is basically hairless. It does have a fine downy fur, but when you look at it, it does look hairless. There is also the Cornish Rex and the Devon Rex who have curly, fine fur and may not shed as much as other breeds. I'd like to caution you that if you or anyone who will come in contact with a cat you are thinking of purchasing is allergic, it's the dander that causes the allergic reaction and not the fur. There is no such thing as a truly hypo=allergenic cat. I would suggest asking a breeder if you can "borrow" a cat for a day to see if there is any allergic reaction before purchasing and potentially needing to rehome the cat which is traumatic for everyone. If you are simply averse to having fur or hair in your home, be aware that animals can be messy beyond shedding and require clean-ups of many different kinds. If you are squeamish about caring for an animal, perhaps a fish would be better.

About David J. Evans
Biographical Summary:
"...David Evans, of the First Quorum of the Seventy and Bishop of Lehi, Utah county, Utah, from 1852 to 1879, was born October 27, 1804, in Cecil County, Maryland, the son of Israel and Abigail Evans. His early training in life was on the frontiers in Pennsylvania. His rugged character qualified him for the events which were to follow.
In 1826 he married Mary Beck and moved to Richland county, Ohio. Here he bought and opened up a new farm, where he lived until he was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, April 6, 1833. On the 11th of the same month he was ordained a Priest and immediately commenced traveling and preaching, selling his farm to enable him to perform his missionary labors.
Being ordained an Elder July 21, 1833, he went with Zion's Camp from Ohio to Missouri in 1834, and received ordination to the First Quorum of Seventy under the hands of the Prophet Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon, April 29, 1835. He attended the "School of the Prophets" in Kirtland.
During the Great Apostasy of 1837 and 1838 Elder Evans left Ohio for Missouri in charge of a company of saints, part of the Kirtland Camp. Most of those he led he had baptized himself. In Missouri he bought land and again made a home. He was with the Saints through all their persecutions in Missouri, among which was the terrible massacre at Haun's Mill. In December, 1828, he and family were compelled to flee from the State of Missouri, leaving all their property behind.
He then went to Adams county, Illinois, and commenced preaching and baptizing many. He lost his wife, after which he moved to Nauvoo and married Barbara Ann Ewell in November, 1841. In 1842 when Nauvoo was organized into Wards he was ordained Bishop of the Eleventh Ward. He remained in Nauvoo until the Saints were driven out, when he was appointed captain of a company to cross the plains, and arrived in the Valley Sept. 15, 1850.
He moved to Lehi the following February, over which place he was appointed to preside as Bishop, the duties of which he faithfully performed for twenty-eight years. He tendered his resignation on account of old age and failing health, Aug. 24, 1879.
Elder Evans located the city of Lehi and laid it off into blocks and lots with a pocket compass, tape line, and square. He was elected to the first legislature of Utah and acted for many years as a member of that body. He was colonel of militia, served as major of the Lehi Military District several terms and was mayor of Lehi city three terms.
He married Climena Gibson in 1854, Rebecca Coleman in 1856, and Christina Holm in 1861, was the father of forty-one children and a good provider for all his family.
His death occurred June 23, 1883, and the following day a special train was dispatched from Salt Lake City, which brought President Wilford Woodruff, Bishop Edward Hunter and several other leading men to attend the funeral. The cortege to the cemetery was the largest ever formed in Lehi, 115 vehicles being in line. Bishop Evans was remarkable for his great industry, frugality and charity to the poor, his public spiritness and broad self-acquired education..."

He attended the School of the Prophets in Kirtland, in the winter of 1835 and 1836, and on May 20th, 1836, left Ohio for Missouri, in charge of a company of saints, most of whom he baptised himself. He settled on Shoal Creak, Caldwell County, buying some land and again making him a home; was with the saints through all their persecutions in Missouri among which was the barbarous massacre at Haun's Mill. In December he was compelled to leave the State without his family, who shortly after followed, leaving all their property behind. Arriving at Payson, Adams County, Ill., in the spring of 1839, he commenced preaching and baptised many persons, some of whom are now prominent members in the Church. He lost his wife June 20th, 1841, after which he moved to Nauvoo and married Barbara Ann Ewell, November 23rd, 1841, she being a member of a family he had baptised in Missouri. In 1842, when Nauvoo was organized into wards, he was ordained a Bishop, August 21st, to preside over the Eleventh Ward. He remained here until the Saints were driven from Nauvoo, when he was appointed Captain of company, many of the members remaining with the company until its arrival in the Valleys, September 15th, 1850."

His death occurred June 23rd, 1883, at 12:30 p.m. For several days he was not well, and on Tuesday, June 19, at 1 p.m., he received a heavy paralytic stroke which completely paralyzed his whole right side rendering him helpless and speechless, in which condition he remained until death."
"The funeral services were held in the Lehi Tabernacle at 3 p.m., Sunday June 24th, 1883. A special train was dispatched from Salt Lake City, for the benefit of his friends and acquaintances, among whom were President Woodruff, Bishop Hunter and others; also many came from Provo and adjacent settlements. The services were conducted by President Smoot and addresses were made by Bishop Hunter, President Woodruff, Bishops Hardy, Burten and others. After the services the remains were carried to the cemetary followed by a numerous procession, numbering 115 vehicles containing the relatives and friends of the deceased, this being the largest funeral cortage ever formed in Lehi."

Learning Humility through Church History, Lesson 5: Eliminating Naiveté
Editor's Note: This article is part of a series on "Learning Humility through Church History" by Jason Duesing, vice president for strategic initiatives and assistant professor of historical theology at Southwestern Seminary. To read other articles in this series, click here.
The study of the history of Christianity eliminates naiveté and surprise at the actions of humanity. The regular encounter with the proceedings of men and women in the past allows one to see that there truly is nothing new under the sun (Eccl. 1:9). As a result, the student is warned that not only do all heroes have faults and sin, but also that those same faults and propensity to sin resides within the one seeing and learning.
My church history professor in seminary often remarked that we should never underestimate the depravity of man. Once we realize that within ourselves we are capable of any sin, humility warns us not to have our spiritual applecart overturned when we see those sins in the lives and actions of others. The study of the history of Christianity only reinforces this pointing us more and more to the One who lived without sin. We turn from history books full of imperfections to the promise of hope held out in the sinless Son of God who is the "founder and perfecter of our faith" (Heb. 12:2).
Once we realize that within ourselves we are capable of any sin, humility warns us not to have our spiritual applecart overturned when we see those sins in the lives and actions of others.

Why Invest in Gold?
Gold has unique properties as an asset class. Modest allocations to gold of 2 per cent to 10 per cent can protect and enhance the performance of an investment portfolio.* A 5 per cent to 6 per cent allocation is optimal for investors with a well-balanced 60/40 portfolio.*
Retail buyers are embracing gold's investment properties. Even so, gold still only makes up less than one per cent of investors' asset allocations.
Investors of all levels of experience are attracted to gold as a solid, tangible and long-term store of value that historically has moved independently of other assets.* Our analysis shows that gold can be used in portfolios to protect global purchasing power, reduce portfolio volatility and minimise losses during periods of market shock. It can serve as a high-quality, liquid asset to be used when selling other assets would cause losses. National central banks, tewards of the world's largest long-term investment portfolios, use gold to mitigate portfolio risk in this way, and have been net buyers of gold since 2010.
Gold has also become more readily accessible, due to the development of a range of products, which investors and advisors can include in their own and their clients' portfolios. The diversity of gold-backed and gold-related products means that gold can be used to enhance a wider variety of individual investment strategies and risk tolerances.
Investors also make use of gold's lack of correlation with other assets to diversify their portfolios and hedge against currency risk.
The World Gold Council is the global authority on gold and gold markets, and produces high-quality research on what drives the gold market, and the merits of investing in gold.

When I was 16, a scout from Elite Model Management approached me in New York City's Penn Station and asked if I was interested in modeling. She gave me her card and told me to set up a meeting. Then, as now, I was an athlete and exercised daily. I was 5 foot 8 and weighed 120 pounds, and I felt thrilled that my dedication was about to win this unexpected payoff. I dressed carefully for the appointment in my best idea of model chic: a white T-shirt and denim miniskirt. The agent I met said he loved my look, but my legs were too "strong." I explained that I was a national-champion squash player. "Quit squash," he said. "Then come back and see me." His suggestion fell on deaf ears: The World Junior Championships were being held that summer in Malaysia, and I was representing the United States. I walked away disappointed, not so much that I wasn't going to be on the cover of a magazine but that my one feature that made me such a winner on the court—my fast, sprinter thighs—could, in fact, be ugly.
At 20, I was scouted by another agency. After looking at my head shots, this booker asked me to stand. When I did, he clapped his hands to his cheeks like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone and screamed, "YOUR THIGHS!" I yanked down my skirt to cover the offending muscles and scuttled out of the office as fast as I could.
Let me tell you about my legs: They look like a pair of bowling pins turned upside down. If I flex my thighs, you can bounce a quarter off them. My butt resembles two halves of a bowling ball placed side by side. There isn't an ounce of fat there, just muscle. This was useful back when I was a full-time professional athlete; it's less so now that I'm a novelist, especially in this era of skinny jeans. And, to be honest, some days I hate the body I worked so hard to achieve.
For nearly 20 years, I played squash competitively, first in the national junior circuit, then on the world tour. Hours of sprints and plyometrics gave me the build I needed to lunge, sprint and dive for shots. I was good enough to win intercollegiate squash championships and rise to 38 in the world rankings. Now, five years after my last competitive event, I still play squash up to four times a week. And, at 145 pounds (up 10 from my competing weight), I'm still built like an East German swimmer.
I know I should appreciate my physique. But in a world where slender women like Cameron Diaz and Jessica Biel are celebrated for their lean, "athletic" bodies, there's no flattering adjective for someone bulkier like me. Those celebs are toned and trim, to be sure, but for women like them, "athletic endeavor" means Spinning or yoga, which I count as leisure-time activities, not competitive sports. I know I shouldn't compare myself to these rare, beautiful beasts, but when their physiques are described as athletic, I feel like a freak for not fitting into even slouchy, baggy boyfriend jeans. There are times when I catch my reflection, all glute and thigh, and I feel ugly and mannish. I've even consulted trainers about streamlining my legs. (Impossible, I'm told. I'm just constructed so that if I exercise at all, my thigh muscle will build.)
Despite my best intentions, I'm truly unable to wholly embrace the female athletic body as a thing of beauty—even in others. When I do see these strong, chiseled women lauded in photographs, typically every four years in the months leading up to the Summer Olympics, my natural reaction is not generous. I'll gaze at the photos that celebrate real muscles rather than the toned ropiness achieved through yoga or pilates and see in them a strange mix of hard bodies and fancy clothes. I look at these extraordinary women, and something deep inside me says they are too ripped, too thick, too at odds with the societal ideals of beauty.
I recognize myself in those athletes. I've endured criticism of my lower body, too, and I know I've internalized it. "Take a look at the legs on that Pochoda broad," someone once called from the audience during a match. Let's just say this was not uttered in the spirit of admiration. When I coached younger players, parents told me under no circumstances should I give their daughters exercises that would make their fragile, lean legs too big or strong. "I hope Taylor gets fitter, but I don't want her legs to look like yours," one mom explained. It made me want to wear sweatpants on the court.
I don't think I'm the only one torn by this conflict between form and function. I can't help wondering whether pro tennis players ever say they weigh less than they do to appear less athletic to the public. Serena, I love you, but 155 pounds? How can someone who's 5 foot 9 (an inch taller than I am) with such monumental muscles weigh only 10 pounds more than I do? But while I want to scream at so many women athletes to openly embrace their hard-won hard bodies, I get it. I've watched enough tennis with guys to know that they love Ivanovic and Sharapova more than Williams and Kvitova. I'm not naive enough to think that's due to their tennis skills.
I despise my own hypocrisy. I've devoted my life to my sport, to building the perfect squash body, and I've loved being a successful female athlete. In general, I'm proudly unconventional and I don't shrink from being the center of attention. A lot of my confidence is a direct result of the decades I dedicated to squash, which taught me self-reliance, motivation and self-respect. I've spent years coaching young women because I know the lessons that they learn on the court will last, and will make them strong and confident, too.
Yes, I do still envy the wispy women mincing down Melrose who would collapse after only five minutes of one of my hour-long squash matches. But on some level, I'm mystified by my inability to love my athletic build and to see it as what sets me apart. There has never been a single day when I thought I'd quit squash. It's a passion that I carry with me daily. Squash has been a constant in my life since I won my first junior national championship at age 12. It's taken me all around the world, allowed me to live in Europe for more than six years and given me the income to write my first novel.
Even more important, it makes me feel fantastic, both physically and mentally. I loved being a successful athlete, and I still love the game so much that I joined the women's professional doubles squash tour. I get a thrill out of being able to lunge into the front of the court, retrieve a difficult ball and execute a winning shot. When I'm out there, using my body to do what I built it to do, all the off-court anxieties about how I look are turned on end. On court, I love my body, my legs especially, and if this game keeps me robust, with ample thigh and butt muscles, so be it.
I may have a ways to go before I can catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and not feel crestfallen at the solid curves below my waist. But I love what my muscles can do and how they can make me feel. I'd never trade that, so I'm coming to terms with my choice. When I'm 50 and still packing legs and buns of steel, I hope I'll have the confidence to shout it from the rooftops and inspire others to want to look like me.

On D Level, there are two kinds of books that that start with P:
"Eisenhower D-Level Blue Labels" have labels that are colored blue and are located on shelves that are colored blue. The "blue label" books start on Shelf #D62 and continue all the way down to the carrels and up the other side until they end on Shelf #D-111.
- All of the other books that start with P are on D Level on other shelves, including the compact shelving; those are the mechanical shelves back in the corner of the north side of the building.

Don't fear the beard
Registration is now open for SCALE 9X — register now by clicking on the winking penguin.
During the 2010 baseball season, the San Francisco Giants — the World Series Champion San Francisco Giants (yours truly never tires of saying that) — had a slogan, "Fear the Beard." Most of the pitching staff — relievers and closer Brian Wilson specifically — were bearded pitching machines mowing down opposing batters.
Historically speaking, the tech realm and beards have never been too far apart, at least for the men. As such, there are some in the FOSS realm who deserve special recognition for not only advancing free/open source software, but also for forsaking the razor and putting a hairy face forward.
This blog item deals with beards specifically, so those with FOSS's most awesome goatees — like Red Hat's Karsten Wade, freelance FOSS journalist Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier and Oregon State University Professor Carlos Jensen, all of whom would definitely get top honors in this category — aren't included here. Sorry, guys. Same with moustaches: For example, Mark Terranova's 'stache belongs in any facial hair Hall of Fame; a piece of work that would easily get him membership in The Village People — and I mean that in a good way (however, truth be told, when he's got a beard, Mark runs with the best of 'em).
Here is a sampling of what I find are the best beards in FOSS, in no particular order other than to say that if anyone got a first prize, it would have to go to . . .
Jon 'maddog' Hall: Despite getting a lot of input from those who think Richard Stallman should get top billing, sorry, RMS: Maddog takes the prize as the FOSS advocate with historically the best beard in the realm, to which picture at right will attest. Or you could look up Father Christmas in the dictionary and, chances are, you'll find maddog's picture with the definition. Despite recently going for the Sean-Connery-as-Indiana-Jones'-Dad look (see next paragraph) to go along with the 70 or so pounds he dropped — a great thing, indeed — Hall's beard has always been the standard of epic in the FOSS beard pantheon.
[Maddog, shown at left in his new closer cropped form, comments in response to an e-mail: "And for beards, I could NEVER understand why someone would want to put a very sharp instrument close to their throat when they are only partially awake. I have not shaved since 1969 . . . ." Also, to the youngsters out there, maddog has a message: "I am glad that you are twenty . . . I enjoy seeing your youthful energy and beauty, and some days when I wake up and I am stiff, I wish I was twenty again . . . but I only wish that for about fifteen minutes." Amen to that!]
Richard Stallman: Most people I've talked to about this have said, after they stopped laughing at the topic ("No, really, I'm writing on the BEARDS of FOSS . . ."), that RMS should have the top spot, and in lieu of Jon 'maddog' Hall's change in appearance, they might be right. The bearded face that launched a thousand tools to make the Linux kernel run, and launched a free software movement to boot, has been the one most commonly associated with free-as-in-freedom software. Not only this, he also sidelines as a saint — if you've never seen the St. Ig-GNU-tius schtick, check it out. I first saw this several years ago when Stallman spoke at UC Berkeley, and it never gets old despite being bearded (and I mean that in a good way).
Timothy Budd: If you are now, or have been, a student of computer science at a university, there's a chance you may have had a class with a textbook Timothy Budd had written. An associate professor of computer science at Oregon State University — Go Beavers! — Tim has written a dozen textbooks on object-oriented programming, data structures and Leda, a multi-paradigm programming language that yours truly admits to not understanding at all. Be that as it may, Tim's advocacy for FOSS during his time at OSU — he has had me as well as others speak to his graduate classes on FOSS — and his healthy crop of hair on his chin garners him a spot on the list. Besides, since he is well known by his students for his use of the term "Administrivia," he gets on the list by simple use of that bearded word alone.
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols: Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols' beard is one that most FOSS users and advocates are accustomed to seeing on a nearly daily basis when reading the latest developments in Free/Open Source Software news. Whenever there's news to be delivered, the FOSS community can count on Steven being the one who brings it to us; not only this, usually Steven is first with the news, which should garner him the nickname "Scoop." Now writing for ZDNet as well, Steven gets what is rightfully more exposure in writing news that's important to us — and to everyone else, for that matter. Steven gets extra points for being a Asheville Tourists fan — the Tourists being one of the most unique mascot names for a baseball team in the country.
Me: In an unprecedented display of unabashed ego worthy of another Larry — the CEO of Oracle whom, incidentally, has what's trying to be a beard on his face, but not doing a very good job of it (but I digress) — I like to think that my beard would rank up there among bearded FOSS titans, not because of any accomplishment of my own — OK, the Lindependence Project . . . maybe — but just by the mere fact that it grows, with Wolfman-like speed, on my face. Herein lies the story: I'm a werewolf. Just kidding — I grew first grew my beard after Jerry Garcia died in Jerry's honor, but my family hated it. So I went back and forth between having it and not having it until making a pact with my family: Even-numbered years, a moustache; odd-numbered years, the beard.
I've missed a lot of people, which is where you come in: Who did I miss and why is should their beard be in the FOSS Hairy-Faced Hall of Fame?

Looking back, looking ahead
Now that I have finally disengaged myself from the what is commercially and socially — and for some, spiritually (and God bless you, every one) — known as "the holiday season," I have been giving a lot of thought to how good a year 2010 was, the Sun purchase by Oracle and the Novell deal notwithstanding, and what 2011 has to offer.
It looks like 2011 will be the year of the Linux deskt . . . I'm sorry, what? Oh. Well, never mind. Let's skip that one
Looking back at 2010, most recently we had both Russia and Cuba going to FOSS, which must prove Steve Ballmer right about Linux being Communist. After all, I think a young Linus Torvalds was able to see Russia from his house a lot better than Sarah Palin could from Wasilla. Meanwhile, Red Hat — oh, what's in a name anyway, comrade? — became poised to be the first billion-dollar Linux company and stats show that they are gaining market share in the corporate server world. Go, Shadowman! And there's that little green space cadet Android making gains in the various markets where it now works. So despite an Apple/Microsoft shell company buying Novell and the other — and more evil — Larry essentially killing open source at what was once the Camelot-esque Sun, 2010 was a good year.
Of course, 2010 would not be complete without the introduction of Chux, the Linux distro developed by Chuck Norris — A Linux designed by Chuck Norris would require no backups, as it would be too scared of Chuck to fail, and the CPUs run faster to get away from Chuck Norris. You don't boot it, it boots you. Go here to take a look here.
What would I like to see in 2011? Glad you asked. What would be nice would be:
Digital pundits not saying that 2011 is the year of the Linux desktop, because it's won't be. And that's OK. Believe me, until this year when the San Francisco Giants won the World Series, I know the "wait-'til-next-year" drill very well. The year of the Linux desktop will come someday — as it should — but with all the advances Linux is making in server and smaller formats — yes, I'm looking at you, Android — we don't have to put all our eggs in that basket to determine Linux a success. We don't have to thump our proverbial chests and say "this year . . . the desktop," and then when the end of the year rolls around and it isn't, there's not a whole lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth. To say nothing of garment-rending . . . . The fact of the matter is that Linux and FOSS are as healthy as they have ever been, Novell and Sun sale notwithstanding.
Go to the show: Linux shows and expos are popping up all over, so you really have no excuse in 2011 not to go to one. The established ones, like the Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE 9X this year) and OSCON, are now being joined by a whole host of other events throughout North America. Most recently, Indiana gets its own Linux festival in March, aptly titled the Indiana Linux Fest. It joins, in order of appearance (off the top of my head — and forgive me if I forget your expo), SCALE, Linux Fest Northwest, COSSFest in Calgary, Texas Linux Fest, Southeast Linux Fest (in the GNU South), OSCON, Ohio Linux Fest, and Utah Open Source Conference. You'll find me at SCALE, Linux Fest Northwest, COSSFest (hopefully — if they let me out of the country), OSCON and Utah Open Source Conference on an annual basis.
Oh, and one more thing: Lindependence 2011 will be held in early July, around Independence Day, in Felton, California — where Lindependence started a couple of years ago.
Last, but certainly not least:
Large distros carrying their weight in the FOSS realm: First it was the GNOME study by David Neary that had Red Hat, Novell and others carrying the developmental mail for GNOME — Red Hat and Novell with 10-plus percent each — while Canonical came in at, wait for it, 1.03 percent. Fine. That's been hashed out already both on these pages and elsewhere. But the Linux Foundation released its annual report on Linux kernel development late in the year — go ahead and get the PDF file here — and while you're at it, you might want to do a search for Canonical to see how often it shows up. Spoiler alert: It doesn't. And I'm just going to leave it at that, hoping that Canonical and/or Ubuntu shows up on next year's report.
Let's all have a great 2011.

Changing teams
Growing up in the Maspeth section of Queens, my father grew up a New York Giants fan — the baseball Giants that played at the Polo Grounds, not so much the football Giants (although I believe he never forgave Frank Gifford for fumbling away the championship 50 years ago). If you fast forward to 1987, I moved to San Francisco from Miami (long story) and picked up where my father left off, being the second generation of Cafiero to live and die with the orange and black.
My father's favorite Giant was Mel Ott, but then there were also Johnny Mize, Carl Hubbell, Eddie Stanky. And there was Bobby Thomson, who hit the legendary home run the year my parents were married. I got to San Francisco in '87, the year Candy Maldonado lost a ball in the lights against the Cardinals in the playoffs which brought me, and the Giants, back to earth. Two years later, it was Will Clark acing the Cubs' Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams in the league championship, sending the Giants to "Bay's-ball" against Oakland and to the first World Series interrupted by a natural disaster.
In addition, I have five Croixs de Candlesticks — awarded to Giants fans who braved the elements at Candlestick Park during extra-inning games — on a cap which also bears the '89 National League Championship pin.
What does this have to do with FOSS? The reason I'm waxing nostalgic about the Giants is because it looks like I'm going to have to leave them on Oct. 1: Microsoft attorney Bill Neukom takes control of the ballclub in October as president.
It's impossible for me to support a team that is run by a shill who has made his fortune representing a company that has made its sole raison d'etre squelching any semblance of digital choice; all that while forcing on the public some of the worst software in the short history of personal computing.
This may not make a lot of sense to the Europeans reading this. But imagine a Manchester United fan having to switch his or her support to Manchester City; Real Madrid to Barcelona; Juventus to AC Milano; All Blacks to Australia. Change can be necessary because team allegiances should include principles and mean more than just root, root, root for the home team.
So once this season ends, I'm going to hang up my hat, hang up the jacket and shop around for another team to support. The Oakland Athletics, more than likely, will keep my heart in the San Francisco Bay Area. But perhaps I'll take the winter off while hoping the San Francisco 49ers do something resembling anything (thanks, Pam) and also root for the Canadian Football League's Hamilton Tiger-Cats, since co-owner Bob Young is one of the founders of Red Hat.
Go Cats.

Miscellania missive
First things first: Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there, including my own as well as my wife, who is the mom of our daughter. Here's a white carnation . . . .
Thanks, Congress: Most people, including me, thought Democrats were swept into both houses of Congress in 2006 on the wave of correcting the misdirection in which the nation found itself up to then and promote reform measures aimed at helping the people over corporations. Silly me. Unfortunately, this course remains unchanged, and Democrats instead have come up with starting-block totalitarian measures like H.R. 4279, the Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property (PRO IP) Act (Note: Is there a Federal Bureau of Acronyms which has the responsibility to name legislation? Sheesh). This bill, passed by the House last week, creates a "top copyright cop" at the federal level and does the following, according to the bill's author, Rep. John Conyers (who should know better): prioritize intellectual property protection to the highest level of our government; make changes to IP law to enhance the ability of IP owners to effectively enforce their rights; make it easier to criminally prosecute repeat offenders; and increase penalties for IP violations that endanger public health and safety. IP violations that endanger public health and safety? The only thing the House didn't do is gift-wrap this for the RIAA and MPAA. Hats off to Rep. Zoe Lofgren, who said " The recording industry has made a business out of extorting money from students" whose computers are used by others for illegal downloading. "This could be the same type of situation." More on the story here; and don't forget to write or call your Senator, if you're so inclined, since the legislation is bound for the Senate.
An aside: This has nothing to do with the digital realm, but it's pretty awe-inspiring nonetheless. In fact, if this feat does not make your jaw drop, you're either dead or you don't follow baseball (which begs the question, "Why live?"). Yesterday, starting pitcher Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants struck out the first three Philadelphia Phillies batters on 11 pitches — three pitches to the first batter, four to the second and four to the third — in the top of the first inning. Wow. That's what I call "dealing."
Oh, and don't forget: I've separated out the Felton stuff into its own blog here.
Sunny and clear, 58 degrees and rising — time to go to Mother's Day brunch.

Twin brothers of separate mothers
One of us is a battle tested, recently retired career Army man who is a veteran of Operation Desert Storm. The other is a former peace and social justice activist with portfolio who rose through the Green Party's California ranks before taking up FOSS evangelism with a vengance.
One of us lives in Texas, where the stars at night are big and bright (clap four times here), while the other lives on the Central California coast, where — and it's a law, I think — every sentence must end with the word " . . . dude."
One of us swears by KDE, the other prefers GNOME but really has an affinity for Xfce. One of us calls the operating system "Linux" out of laziness. The other makes a point of referring to it as "GNU/Linux" because the "GNU should get its due."
Ken Starks and I have our differences. I would be willing to bet he doesn't think Texas cheated in the Rose Bowl when they beat USC for the national championship a year ago (they did), nor do I think he would agree with me that the former Texas governor cheated in the 2000 election to win the presidency (he did ). Ken grew up a Cubs fan — anyone who knows me knows how much I detest the Cubs ('89 NLCS, anyone?) — but he now follows the Houston Astros, while I live and die, mostly die, with the San Francisco Giants.
Yet it's safe to say that Ken and I are united in one thing: Promoting Linux (as he'd say) in the home desktop/laptop and small business environment; that, and making sure everyone knows they have FOSS options to their proprietary computing experience.
My introduction to Ken — I haven't actually met him in person yet — came after what I thought was a slight in a Blog of Helios of one of my heroes, Abbie Hoffman. Yes, for those of you keeping score at home, Ken is the ever-outspoken helios. He and I started exchanging e-mails afterward, discussing — among other things — how to get GNU/Linux (thank you) in front of everyday people who would benefit from being out from under the thumb of Microsoft's monopoly.
A result of these discussions is our partnership in HeliOS Solutions, where I do what he does in Texas on the West Coast, down to initiating a Komputers4Kids program in Felton. Another result is the project called Lindependence 2008, which we had discussed ad nauseum starting late last summer and had refined through the fliter of The Tux Project in the meantime.
So if you were to tell me a few years ago that I'd be teaming up with a Army vet on a project to save the digital realm for FOSS, I would have laughed myself into a new pair of underwear. If you were to tell Ken that he'd be teaming up with a tree-hugging, pony-tailed hippie, he'd probably have the same reaction.
Yet here we are, and that's where we should be: United for the operating system, whatever we choose to call it, and united for the promotion of FOSS programs that work as well, and in some cases better, than proprietary software it should replace.
If our partnership is a testament to anything, it shows that promoting GNU/Linux and FOSS transcends background, upbringing and politics. In fact, it even transcends sports in general and, as much as I hate to admit it, baseball in particular.
(And, Ken, Texas did too cheat in the Rose Bowl . . . )

Notes after recovery
First things first: I lied. In my last blog item, I said that I wasn't going back to Linux World on Wednesday after a long, hard and profitable Tuesday. But with both San Francisco — the world's greatest city — and Linux World being a two-edged bulb drawing this moth to its luminescence, I put aside home projects (remember the project having to do with rearranging the living room? Working on it . . .) and went back for another day.
Fortunately, I had my swag limiter on and didn't end up with further arm injury. I know the stuff is free and I know that companies love to give the stuff away, but — hey — how many can insulators can you really use?
Let's talk hardware: Something that I am woefully deficient in — both physically and mentally — is hardware. We don't cover it enough at Open Source Reporter, and we plan to change that and increase our coverage. Without the hardware, the software isn't worth much, now is it?
I spent the better part of the day getting schooled by some of the hardware manufacturers at the show; mostly by Fujitsu, which has a great selection and had very knowledgeable people working the show. Very patient people, too, because I think I should have won prizes — more T-shirts — for "dumbest questions of the show."
Readers will be seeing more about hardware in OSR in the coming months — partially behind this effort, needless to say, is prodding hardware manufacturers to ideally open up their drivers to accommodate GNU/Linux or, at least, to get them to develop drivers if they don't want to share the code — and we will devote a section to it in the print publication in January.
Creative Commons / Free Software Foundation / Electronic Frontier Foundation: You guys did a great job at the show, with CC providing the Fedora disks, FSF providing (as always) great information and some very cool stickers (thanks for the GNUs) and EFF having probably the best "join us" offer — a "SWAT-team" like cap in black with a stark EFF in white on the front. It's great to work with and support these groups solely for the vital work they do; their swag is just icing on the cake.
They Might Be Giants: I got to see the San Francisco Giants game on Monday night against the Washington Nationals, hoping Barry would swing into history that evening. But it was not to be. However, I did see a great extra-inning game that the Giants uncharacteristically won. And Barry now holds the record anyway thanks to Tuesday's swat, and the Giants are still numero uno in these parts, National League West standings be damned.
More to follow — with the exception of the Giants — on the pages of OSR and in this blog.
And as Helios likes to say: All-righty then.

US priests, brothers 'inspired and challenged' by Pope Francis
The election of Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope Francis is a "moment of encouragement, inspiration and challenge," wrote the group that represents U.S. priests and brothers in religious orders.
In an open letter to the new pope, who is a member of the Jesuit religious order, the 17,000-member Conference of Major Superiors of Men said Thursday it is "inspired and challenged," particularly by the pope's choice of name.
Following is the letter.
Most Holy Father:
Greetings in God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ!

I am so tired of Mittonius. She always sticks her face in mine when she sees me in the yard. She has bad breath. She's also a loud-mouth and too hissy. I tried a year of pouncing her into submission, but now she is bigger than me and fights back.
I'm kind of looking for a permanent solution, if you know what I mean...

On Dec. 17 the president signed the "Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010" into law. This new legislation includes a slew of tax breaks across-the-board.
Alert: For starters, the new tax law extends the "Bush tax cuts" for capital gains and dividends as well as numerous provisions in the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA) that were scheduled to "sunset" after 2010. It also provides alternative minimum tax (AMT) relief to individuals, creates a one-year payroll tax "holiday" and enhances write-offs for business equipment.
Finally, the new tax law resolves the current estate tax uncertainty, at least for the short term. It increases the estate tax exemption to $5 million and lowers the top estate tax rate to 35% for a two-year period.
There are plenty of income tax tax-saving opportunities to go around. Here's the skinny on the top 20.

In the grand scheme of things, women's snowboard videos might operate kind of like romantic comedies. Don't throw the magazine across the room yet. In this same scheme, That's It, That's All would be an epic; Subjekt Haakonsen would be an action classic; and Think Thank's videos would be the offbeat indies. Like romantic comedies, all-girl shred shows are made primarily for women and are something guys pretend they never watch (or even hate). But, given the right context—a long plane ride; a really rainy day at the cabin—plenty of dudes might press Play on Stance and admit, begrudgingly, that this is legit: big-name riders, scrappy up-and-comers, clean tricks, heavy terrain, cutting-edge cinematography, 100% tindy-free, etc.
Now, two guys putting their heads together in the first place and saying, "Fuck it. Let's make a women's snowboard movie" might even sound like the plot of a romantic comedy—and a bad one at that. But in the case of director Jeremy Miller, 27, and producer/photographer Stan Evans, 35, Stance makes a certain amount of sense. Evans has long loved his (self-proclaimed) role as "life coach/photographer" to a number of top riders, and Miller, aka J. Mills, has logged tripod time for Misschief, Runway, and Finger On Da Trigga, gettin' a good taste for both the girly and the gangsta. When word got out that Runway was taking off this season, pro Erin Comstock suggested that these two SLC inhabitants taxi in, since without a devoted video outlet, many female pros' visibility would shrink immeasurably, at least off the podium. Since nobody wanted to see that happen, these guys stepped up to the tee. The ladies' tee.
Stance's roster reads like a veritable who's who: Gretchen Bleiler, Hana Beaman, Torah Bright, and others all devoted their energy (plus a rotator cuff or two) to the project. Nailing down a full part is a full-time job, and a tough one to pull when you're bouncing all over the globe competing, as most female pros are contractually obligated to do. Trying to get enough tricks in the can—all landed cleanly and on varied terrain—to fill up that three-minute song means spending every spare second sledding deep into the backcountry, hoping to stack footy.
DC pro Kimmy Fasani joined Stance pretty green on the filming front, but with her eyes wide open: "I wanted to be tested and pushed to hit jumps and cliffs that were out of my comfort zone. I wanted to be able to distinguish between fear and confident fear… Filming with Stance gave me all of these opportunities and more, and I knew that it wasn't going to be easy because I was going to have two guys dictating what would qualify as a shot and what wouldn't."
That's exactly the kind of "confident fear" these guys wanted to instill in their riders from the start—not from some macho Male vs. Female perspective as much as an experience-equals-high-standards perspective. Evans has been shooting photos of the world's burliest riders, including T. Rice and Romain De Marchi, since 1996 and has a rep for building Chad's Gap-style booters that can be seen from space. J Mills paid his dues shooting Utah's urban elite while directing everything from hair salon commercials to BMW motorcycle spots on the side, so you know neither of these guys is gonna be blown away by stock handplants or bonked park boxes. They don't approach Stance so much as a "women's snowboard video" as 1) a video that 2) is about snowboarding and 3) in which the stars all happen to be female. It's a subtle distinction, but it's the make-or-break one that makes Stance a bit of a new spin on the women's film formula.
"We just take our jobs seriously," says Evans by way of explanation. "At the end of the day, [we] both just want the shot." Add to this the marquee riders in Stance and the fact that J Mills routinely schools other shred filmers when he drops science on aspect ratios or compression algorithms and, well, you've got yourself a movie.
Olympic silver medalist Gretchen Bleiler, whose foray into more powdery pursuits is well documented by Stance, said: "Usually you go out and film and come up with a theme later. But these guys are coming in hot, coming in with a plan! They have this person here and this person there, shot lists every day… They sort of have the same work ethic I do. We know what we want and we know how to get it [laughs]. And for me, only having a few days here and there in the season to shoot, that's exactly what I want."
"There is room and a want for female videos," said Torah Bright who, despite a heavy contest schedule and a recurring shoulder injury, has some of the strongest tricks in Stance. "What we do now is hopefully a benchmark for the future and, with time and experience, things can only get better!"
When the first Stance teaser dropped online in February, reactions were decidedly mixed. Some viewers loved it because it was undeniably fresh and pro, about as far from shaky "bro cam" as anything you've seen—male or female. As Bleiler said, these guys "came in hot" with moving cameras, dramatic slow-mo's…moose. Others found the teaser "too big"; an audacious effort with its slick color work and huge soundtrack that sometimes felt like it outstripped the riding.
"There's always going to be people out there who say what they want," said Evans of the criticism. "[But] we're trying to get Stance out to a broader audience… To be honest, most women don't want to watch a bunch of bros smoking weed and hanging out partying—they want to watch progressive riding. Now that the riders are being documented well, tricks will become more progressive and they'll see there are a lot more opportunities out there for them than they might have previously realized."
But here's the thing: Everyone out there in Opinionland seems to "want" to see women's riding side-by-side with the guys in the big movies, à la Annie Boulanger in Absinthe offerings or MFR's award-winning part in Rome's Any Means. Unless these outfits start taking on five times as many females each, however, a lot of well-known women riders will still have no real outlet to express themselves.
"I wanted to film for Stance because I think that these [women's film] projects are really important in the progression of female snowboarding," said Canadian slayer Raewyn Reid, who started filming her part April 1st, thanks to a classic US border debacle. During her short-but-intense spring filming regimen, Reid dealt with a gap jump that seemed impossible at first and that had dead serious consequences. She also took a dip in an ice pond that led to full Steve Zissou submersion: "I wanted to stop and go back to the car… I wasn't really thinking because I'm pretty sure my cerebrospinal fluid was still thawing from my little dip. The filmers' response was, 'Well, that was already the worst thing you could do, so you might as well stay until you get it.' I think a lot of [crews] would have let me jump ship, but now I have a shot of me actually making it across the pond to go with my little tumble."
That kind of git 'er done attitude was part of Stance's DNA from day one. Early on, J Mills took a digger into some Wyoming dagger-rock and literally would have died had he been sledding without a helmet. He suffered serious shock, a bruised spine, and a separated shoulder, and had to be shepherded out by Evans, whose inner Alaskan kicked in. But Jeremy was back out there filming the next day, busted as all hell, with a hospital bracelet and, we can imagine, the world's first tri-color overprint sling. He shot that way every day for three weeks—"Which sucked for me, because I had to shuttle all his gear," said Evans.
Austrian pro Lisa Filzmoser said: "I heard which other riders were gonna be in the film and I was pretty stoked to be part of the project. I really like filming—the travel, the people, finding spots, seeing new places. Also, to shape something and the hard work that is behind it, and to fall asleep tired and satisfied, knowing the challenge for the next day."
From Gretchen Bleiler's recent branching out into cliffs and pillow lines to Jenny Jones's huge hip airs at Superpark, the riding variety is definitely there. Throw in a solid smattering of Utah's best backcountry "secrets," and an open mind re: what counts as snowboarding terrain, and Stance comes out swinging. And this ain't no girl fight…
"What can I say?" asks Jenny "Bridget" Jones, a UK standout (who also picked up the nickname "Fish 'n' Chips"). "I definitely think the two lads have had a crash course into many a girl's psyche… Although I have these weird superstitions that I am sure they found a bit funky, but in the end got used to [laughs]."
"The rule for the guys was that they were not allowed to hit on the girls," adds Filzmoser.
J Mills, whose aesthetic informs Stance more than anybody's, really cut his teeth filming MFM in Utah. "I purchased a Panasonic DVX 100A and started filming with Cole Taylor and the T9 gangsters and [Marco] on trade for boards and product—meaning oversized jackets and hoodies with gang signs," he said. "I would take the gear to the restaurant where I worked and sell it to pay for film gear and school."
Thanks to an obvious talent, Mills graduated with a 3.9 from the U of U film school ("Believe it or not," he adds), but the point is that he wasn't some rich kid who got handed his career on a platter. He scrapped it the fuck out and now finds himself running his own show, JMills Ent. Understandably, he can be short on patience when it seems like someone is phoning it in. This kid, who in fifth grade was drinking Bartles & James and jumping his Black Snow off the deck of his house like a peach-flavored madman, now finds himself equal parts bitten and brushed off by filming peers who've been shooting longer. A number of crews now use the lightweight PVC dolly system Jeremy and his boys developed, but it's safe to say Mills doesn't always get the respect he deserves—even as more and more of his competitors' shots look, well, more and more like his. Now this might be because Jeremy chooses to shoot girls. Or because he travels with a flat iron and will mix six different prints in one kit. "My mom was a hairstylist, so it was mullets and fashion hair since birth!" he says. "Style runs in my blood."
Yeah, well so do wine coolers, buddy.
Raising the bar is never easy, but make no mistake: That is exactly what every rider and crew member involved in Stance set out to do, and the proof is in the pudding. For Stan and Jeremy, it was all about raising the production values so that the riding could be given a bold enough platform to shine. For the riders, especially those who put in enough time to land full parts, Kimmy Fasani sums it up perfectly: "I think Stance will be viewed as a strong all-female movie. I believe it will show other women that we limit ourselves with what we think we can do, rather than 'knowing' we can do anything we put our minds to. This video will show people that—with patience, practice, and confidence—anything is possible. [Stance] is going to be a stepping stone for future generations, and their view of women's progression in the backcountry and filming in general."

"There's a real disconnect with pot," said Brooke Thompson, a retired teacher from Bainbridge Island who found marijuana innocuous when she smoked it as a young adult. "It's been criminalized and criminals are making money on it. The state could be making money on it, and using the taxes to go into education. It seems like a win-win, and it would be nice for Washington to be the testing ground on this."
"Testing ground" is the right phrase. Washington could become a laboratory in easing the nation's drug war, which has cost more than $1 trillion and hundreds of thousands of lives in the past 40 years while doing little to dent demand.
Just as likely, it could bring on a protracted fight with the federal government. Marijuana remains illegal under U.S. law, and when state and federal laws conflict, federal law takes precedence. The Justice Department has kept mum, but if I-502 passes, many lawyers believe the DOJ is likely to try to block the law on the grounds that it frustrates the Controlled Substances Act.
That could leave just part of the initiative standing: decriminalization of up to an ounce of pot under state law, with no way to buy it legally, and a driving-under-the-influence standard that opponents consider arbitrarily strict.
The federal government could also prosecute growers or retailers licensed under the law, seize Washington's new marijuana revenues as proceeds of illicit drug deals, or withhold money from the state.
Nevertheless, I-502's sponsors, including former Seattle U.S. Attorney John McKay, Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes and travel writer Rick Steves, say the measure has been drafted to withstand a federal challenge. Alison Holcomb, I-502's campaign manager, said at a recent debate that she would sit down with representatives of the federal government to explain how the measure could complement, not frustrate, federal efforts.
The initiative, promoted by New Approach Washington, would create a system of state-licensed growers, processors and stores, and would impose a 25 percent excise tax at each stage. Adults 21 and over could buy up to an ounce of dried marijuana; one pound of marijuana-infused product in solid form, such as brownies; or 72 ounces of marijuana-infused liquids. The cannabis would be subject to testing to establish its THC content.

My father retired from the 101st Airborne in the Army and taught me to shoot as a young boy. I enjoyed the time we spent together and over the years we found ourselves getting into IPSC, IDPA, skeet, trap, carbine matches, and long-range rifle shooting. After my father's passing in 2010, I entered into my first large long-range rifle competition in 2011 filled with active duty military, law enforcement, and civilian shooters. With my shooting partner and friend, we won our first match together and set the course record with me using my father's rifle. Since that time I have been active in long-range rifle competition and have finished strong with nothing under 10th place.

#AztecMBB to Face No. 14 UNM at The Pit Wednesday
Feb. 25, 2013
SDSU Game Notes | SDSU Broadcast Flip#AztecMBB Travels to Albuquerque For Wednesday Night Nationally Televised Showdown With No. 14/14 New Mexico
Having secured its Mountain West-best eighth consecutive 20-win season, San Diego State (20-7; 8-5 MW) looks to continue its best play of the season on Wednesday night at No. 14/14 New Mexico. Game time is set for 8 p.m. MT/7 p.m. PT and the game will be shown nationally on CBS Sports Network, with radio coverage on KOGO AM 600 and 101 KGB.
The Aztecs, winners of two straight and six of their last nine games, own college basketball's fifth-best scoring margin (+10.6) among major conferences (includes ACC, Big East, Big 10, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC and MW) and best in the Mountain West since Jan. 23. During that span, SDSU is 6-3, with four victories by at least 21 points, a fifth win by 13 and a three-point loss at Air Force (without Xavier Thames (lower back sprain) and Chase Tapley playing with a restrictive wrist brace on his shooting hand), a six-point loss at Colorado State (Aztecs led with less than 90 seconds to play) and a two-point loss at UNLV (played the final 37 minutes of the game without James Rahon (right shoulder sprain)).
On Saturday, the Aztecs continued their recent strong play, posting an 88-75 victory over Nevada. The Aztecs led the final 35:37 of the contest and built their advantage to 22 points midway through the second half before settling for the 13-point win. A season-high six players reached double figures for the Aztecs, led by junior All-America candidate Jamaal Franklin. A guard, Franklin had 23 points on just 12 field-goal attempts, a game-high 12 rebounds and five assists to record his 10th double-double of the season and the 22nd of his career. Senior Chase Tapley connected on three treys en route to 17 points. Sophomore JJ O'Brien, meanwhile, added 14 points, six rebounds and a career-high seven assists.
San Diego State shot 58.2 percent from the field against the Wolf Pack. The Aztecs are now shooting 62.6 percent (62-99) from the field over its last two games and 43.9 percent (43-98) from three-point range in their last six outings.
SDSU is looking for its third victory of the season over a nationally ranked team at game time, having already recorded wins over UCLA (78-69 on Dec. 1) and New Mexico (55-34 on Jan. 26).

From what we've heard, the Redskins were greatly concerned by Bryan Barker's shanked punt from deep in his own territory against Carolina. We hear that special teams coach Mike Stock chewed him out after the punt, knowing that it was a repeat of too many kicks last season. It's a mistake a longtime pro shouldn't make.
The Redskins have liked what they've seen of Barker in practice, where his edge over Brent Bartholomew is pronounced. He's a bit quicker than Bartholomew and much more consistent.
But if Barker has another bad night Saturday, look for the situation to be addressed once again. And fast. The Redskins won't go into the season with Barker if he's had an inconsistent preseason.
As for Leverton, they do like his leg and the fact that he can also hold, punt and kick off. But he's not the man. Yet.
. . . Running back Ladell Betts practiced again, but was still held out of contact drills.
. . . LG Dave Fiore and C Wilbert Brown both practiced.
. . .Another day, another fight: This time LB Antonio Pierce and TE Kevin Ware battled--their fight ended practice. Pierce was tired of Ware shoving people in the back--they had exchanged words earlier in the workout. Pierce was throwing punches at Ware at the bottom of a big pile.
. . . Bruce Smith continues to work with the first team defense at right end. In one pass-rush set, he lined up at right end with Regan Upshaw on the left side. Renaldo Wynn and Peppi Zellner both lined up inside. It generated no rush. At 6-foot-5, Zellner often is too tall inside. He needs to stay lower.
. . . Upshaw had a bad day. He was buried by tackle Brandon Winey on one play and on the next Derrick Dockery pulled and knocked him back.
. . . Tackle Greg Scott's quickness only is seen when the play goes away from him, allowing him to get inside his man. Otherwise, on straight-ahead plays he just gets stood up.
. . .RB/OC Hue Jackson got on RB Trung Canidate to run harder this morning. ''How is a hand gonna pull you down?!'' Jackson yelled. ''Come out of there running!''
. . . Jackson also has to constantly remind RB Sultan McCullough to finish his runs or hustle back to the huddle. It's good when a coach yells at player--it means he's in the running. But it's bad when the coach has to remind you to hustle. Especially an undrafted free agent. That said, McCullough has looked good. To hear what Jackson has to say about McCullough, go to the Camp Bytes section.
. . . Kicker John Hall has kicked all week, mostly short field goals, and should kick in the game. There's still question about him kicking off, however.
. . . DT Bernard Jackson looked good in the one-on-one drills, twice easily beating Akil Smith--once on a bull rush and once on a swim move. Hey, it's a start.
. . . WR Pat Woodcock made a nice grab of a Patrick Ramsey pass in the end zone. Woodcock had to lay out a bit for the ball. DB Rashad Bauman had excellent coverage so Ramsey put it where only Woodcock could get it. And he did. Ramsey also threw a deep post to Taylor Jacobs for a 60-yard score. Jacobs blew past safety Ifeanyi Ohalete.
. . . The problems with shotgun snaps aren't limited to center Larry Moore. Wilbert Brown sent an ugly one back this morning.
. . . As Steve Spurrier walked past Chad Morton en route to the locker room, he said, ''Hey, Chad, let's get you some carries this week. We've got to get you four or five carries.'' To which Morton replied, ''That would be nice.'' He'll believe it when he sees it, however.
. . . Want to know the best way to clear out a Redskins weight room? Put on country music. Today was Jon Jansen's turn to select the music and he opted for Merle Haggard. He was the only player lifting weights (many had already lifted). When receiver Darnerien McCants heard the music, he said, ''Man, what are they playing in here?'' Jansen had to inform him that Haggard is a country legend.
When asked if he had one of his CD's, McCants said, ''Yeah, way, way, way back in my closet.''
. . . Barker talked about punting for Marty Schottenheimer two years ago. ''Eight years ago he cut me and told me I wasn't good enough anymore. What a great league, huh?''

Well, the reviewer is wrong. The M3 has always been about being a thinly disguised race car. The M5, never. It's always meant to be the ultimate gentleman's express. A car to use everyday that can dominate the autobahn, be engaging to drive, and can be brought to the track for a little fun.
The E60 was more like a big M3. And that was too far from the design brief of the M5. The issues with the E60 M5 were that the tremendous thirst and sub 200 mile range meant the car could not be effectively used as a daily driver unless it was around town. And the SMG was just a disaster for being a daily driver. Again, compromises that might be acceptable in the M3 but not in the M5.
To me, the F10 M5 returns to the stated mission brief of the M5.
The M3 is another story. The original M3 WAS born of racing, remember it was a homologation special. And apart from the weak sauce E36 M3, which happens to be a great driver's car, but is more along the lines of a ZHP package than a true M Car IMO, the M3 was and continues to be taut and high strung. I am hoping (and believing, honestly) that the F80 will continue that clenched fist aggression. I have been impressed with the F30 chassis and expect the new M3/4 to be a winner.

The Brazilian goalkeeper admitted he could be ready to leave the Championship side in January.
"We will do our planning as we identify our needs," vice-president Joao Paulo de Jesus Lopes told the Brazilian press.
"But for many reasons it's silliness to say we will sign Julio Cesar. I ask myself if it's a political attempt to unsettle [current goalkeeper] Rogerio Ceni or our board as we have a big affection for Rogerio."
He added: "There is no chance we bring in Julio Cesar, just like there is no chance we bring other problems. When I say problems, I am referring to Fred and Vagner Love, who are not our targets."

my router is set to hide the ssid, which I have set to belkin for this experiment.
according to the tutorial i used the network in airodump-ng is supposed to report the length of the essid, however, when I use airodump-ng it only picks up length=0 instead of 6. When using mdk3 it shows the correct ssid after a quick dictionary attack.
router problem or my problem?
thanks in advance
Normally just the router not revealing the length of the ESSID.
Check out aircrack documentation on hidden SSIDs + length 0
I read up on http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=airodump-ng and scrolled down to the Hidden SSID section.
Turns out my router doesn't send the length but some do.
Thanks again.

MILAN, ITALY – Japan midfielder Keisuke Honda pledged to bring his own brand of samurai fighting spirit to AC Milan during his official unveiling by the Serie A giants on Wednesday.
Honda joined Milan on a three-year deal on a free transfer from CSKA Moscow following a four-year spell with the Russian Premier League club.
Milan, for the second successive season, has struggled to keep pace with the Serie A pacesetters and currently sit in 11th, 27 points off the pace of leader Juventus and 17 behind the last Champions League qualifying spot.
However, the Japan international, described in the club's official presentation as part of a "new breed of bolder Japanese players," has pledged to do his best in helping Milan overcome its difficult period.
"I've never met a samurai . . . but Japanese men are known for never giving up," Honda told a packed press conference at the club's San Siro stadium. "We have a strong mentality and good discipline, so I hope I can show that kind of spirit on the pitch.
"I have to train hard, from today. I feel a lot is expected of me here so I know I have to show what I can do. I will do my best, and I will give some special things to the team."
Honda, who becomes the club's first Japanese player, has been handed the No. 10 shirt worn in the past by stars like Ruud Gullit, Dejan Savicevic, Zvonimir Boban, Rui Costa and Clarence Seedorf, among others.
Club CEO Adriano Galliani said it was "only natural" to think of bestowing it on Honda following the August departure of former wearer, Ghanaian Kevin Prince Boateng, to the German Bundesliga.
"When Boateng left the club in August, we didn't think twice about who we would give it to," said Galliani, who had agreed terms with the player months before his departure from Russia. "Former Ballon d'Or winners at Milan, like Gianni Rivera and Ruud Gullit, have worn it and it has also been on the shoulders of great players like Savicevic, Boban, Rui Costa and Seedorf.
"Keisuke is the first Japanese player to wear the Rossonero (red and black) shirt of our club and we want to give him a warm welcome here."
Known for his dribbling, goalscoring and dead ball skills, Honda could, in theory, provide the spark to an offensive line that has scored only 28 goals in 18 games so far this season.
Honda — who was unhappy initially at CSKA because he was played out of position — said he is itching to play in his preferred role just behind the strikers.
Ideally, he would play just behind Italy striker Mario Balotelli and Brazilian forward Kaka, who together have scored 11 of Milan's league goals this season.
"I can play every position but if I have the choice, I would play behind the strikers. That is my favorite position," said Honda.
"I just need to score and provide assists. I think that the team is not so bad. I just watched the game (a 3-0 win over Atalanta) two days ago, but I know we can probably improve."
The jury is out on whether Milan can overcome its deficit to third-placed Napoli to clinch a place in next season's Champions League.
This season, the Rossoneri remain Italy's only club in the last 16 knockout phase, although Honda will play no further part having already featured in the competition for CSKA Moscow.

Wow Junior Seau dead
From apparent suicide. :(.
ETA. Link.
Ex-NFL star Seau dead in apparent suicide
I'm shocked. Haven't heard his name in a while but still...
It came on right after the crispy mom video. I was surprised too. Very sad.
Yep.. heard about it earlier. Sad news.
I have to wonder if he shot himself in the heart so that they can examine his brain. Is he another victim of post-concussion syndrome, I wonder? He denied trying to kill himself last year when he drove off a cliff.
I really enjoyed his energy and he seemed so upbeat when he played for the Patriots. It makes his car accident a couple of years ago maybe not an accident.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2
I was really bummed out when I heard about this. He was one of my favorite football players. :sad: It's really a shame that there isn't more help for football players that have to deal with the lifelong consequences of repeated concussions.

Automated Pods Ferry Passengers In London's Heathrow Airport
Passengers at the UK's travel main hub are ferried to terminals daily by driverless pods. Could this spell the future of transportation?
Heathrow Airport, the busiest airport in the United Kingdom, is showing today's passengers what could be tomorrow's method of transportation. Twenty-two driverless cars have been created to ferry passengers from their cars to their respective terminals. These automated pods are located in Terminal 5 of Heathrow Airport, the new terminal currently occupied by British Airways. Each pod can accommodate up to four travelers and their bags, and is able to reach up to 25 mph. According to the New York Times, roughly 800 passengers use each pod on a given day. It is thought that it won't be long before these pods debut in America.
Watch the pod in action in the video below:
