Judge dismisses homicide charge in bathtub death
CENTER TOWNSHIP — A former Indiana-area woman has been cleared of a homicide charge, but faces trial on lesser charges connected with the Feb. 2 death of her 13-month-old son in a bathtub at her former home in White Township.
The Indiana County district attorney said late Monday he is considering whether to refile the homicide charge.
District Judge Susanne Steffee Monday afternoon dismissed counts of criminal homicide and aggravated assault following a preliminary hearing for Tonya Thomas in the Homer City district court.
Thomas, 25, and her husband, Wesley Thomas, were charged Feb. 19 by state police, who accused both of criminally neglecting their three children when they left the youngsters alone in a bathtub in their former residence along Roush Drive.
The youngest child, Ryden Wesley Thomas, was found face down and unresponsive in the water while two other siblings, a 2-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl, played in the tub, according to investigators. The toddler died after being rushed to Indiana Regional Medical Center. The coroner's office ruled the death an accidental drowning.
Tonya Thomas, now of Clarksburg, was held for prosecution in Indiana County Common Pleas court for three counts of endangering the welfare of children and one count of recklessly endangering another person following 35 minutes of testimony in Steffee's court.
State police Trooper Josiah Murdock testified that he interviewed the parents at the hospital minutes after their son died. Wesley had little to say and Tonya did most of the talking, Murdock said.
She said it was routine for her to draw bath water for all three children, "about 3 to 4 inches, just enough to cover the children's legs," Murdock related. He said Tonya told him that she bathed the children, brushed their teeth and gave them toys to play with while she went downstairs to put towels in the dryer.
Wesley Thomas, meanwhile, was playing a video game in a bedroom near the bathroom, and Tonya told him to "keep an ear out for the kids," according to Murdock. He said Tonya told him she checked a text message from her mother on a cellphone that was charging in the bedroom before she went downstairs.
She planned to make some snacks for the older children — Nevaeh, 3, and Aiden, 2 — and to prepare a breathing treatment for Wesley, who had asthma. But she told Murdock that while she loaded the dryer, "she got a bad feeling and went upstairs" and found Ryden face down in the water.
Tonya estimated she may have been away from the children for five minutes, Murdock said.
Murdock also testified that Tonya told him she often left the children to take care of domestic tasks and that the 3-year-old girl often alerted her to what was going on in the bathroom.
"She said, 'Nevaeh is a little tattletale. She always tells me when something is wrong,'" Murdock testified.
The trooper also testified that he "served many court orders on the list of agencies providing services to the Thomas home" and interviewed medical agencies about their care in the weeks following Ryden's death.
Murdock said it was a collective decision of state police investigators and the district attorney's office to charge only Tonya Thomas with homicide.
Indiana County Chief Deputy Coroner Jerry Overman Jr. testified at the hearing that the cause of Ryden's death was asphyxia due to freshwater drowning, and the manner was ruled accidental, although the Allegheny County medical examiner's office has not yet sent a final autopsy report.
The ruling was based on circumstances leading to the death and the physical examination of the boy, he said.
"We got a verbal from the medical examiner's office that day" but toxicology tests are incomplete, Overman said.
Tonya, who is due to have a baby in just a few weeks, was represented by attorney Bradley Ophaug of the Indiana County public defender's office.
"This was a tragic accident and it has been made exponentially worse by these charges being filed," Ophaug told Steffee, asking her to dismiss the case.
District Attorney Patrick Dougherty argued the incident fit the definition of the crimes charged.
"Clearly, the simple fact of leaving the children in the bathtub is a willful disregard … and an extremely high risk that her conduct could result in serious bodily injury or death," Dougherty said.
Steffee held the misdemeanor endangerment charges for adjudication in the county court, but said she disagreed with the homicide and aggravated assault charges.
"I don't find a prima facie case for that," she said.
Ophaug said the ruling sent chills up his spine.
"There was no intent, it was a bad and horrible tragic accident … and she has been denied visitation with her other two children," Ophaug told reporters. "She is emotionally distraught. … She hasn't had time to grieve; she hasn't had time to deal with the tragedy of losing her youngest son."
Ophaug acknowledged the Thomases had been sent to parenting classes through local social service agencies.
"She is working on those skills and has acknowledged that she needs to work on it," Ophaug said. "Any time anybody has offered her assistance she has been more than cooperative in trying to learn how to be the best parent she can be."
Ophaug said he has been planning with Tonya to defend against the remaining charges.
"Based on her history, I'm confident that we're going to beat the endangering the welfare of children," Ophaug said. "We hope to reunite them all soon."
"I was a little bit surprised" by Steffee's ruling, Dougherty told reporters. "The way the statute is written, we believe it provides for the criminal homicide charge. In my closing, I stated directly from the jury instruction for third-degree murder, which is wanton and willful disregard — that's what happened here.
"The judge disagreed. That is the system we work under, so we have to move on."
Dougherty said that depending on a 3-year-old child to be a baby-sitter is extremely reckless and shows disregard for the children.
"I think basic parenting 101 says you don't leave a 13-month-old in the tub," Dougherty said. "I felt that from Day 1 and I feel that way now. So for the fact she is not going to be held accountable for those actions … it is what it is."
But late Monday evening, Dougherty said he plans to meet with investigators to decide whether to refile a criminal homicide charge
"We can do that pursuant rules of criminal procedure at the magistrate level," he said.
The rules allow the refiling of charges at the district court level because the dismissal of a case by a district judge is not the same as an acquittal by a trial judge or jury.
"Double jeopardy is not attached yet," he said.
Tonya had been held in the Indiana County Jail with bond set at $250,000 but was allowed by Indiana County Judge William Martin to go free on unsecured bond on April 11.
Wesley Thomas, 24, who had been jailed on $50,000 bond since the time of his arrest, waived his right to a preliminary hearing and will face trial on three counts each of child welfare endangerment and reckless endangerment. Steffee approved his release on unsecured bond after he appeared for his scheduled hearing Monday.
He is represented by court-appointed attorney Robert Bell, of Indiana.

"The calculations that purported to show that bumblebees cannot fly are based upon a simplified linear treatment of oscillating aerofoils. The method assumes small amplitude oscillations without flow separation. This ignores the effect of dynamic stall, an airflow separation inducing a large vortex above the wing, which briefly produces several times the lift of the aerofoil in regular flight. More sophisticated aerodynamic analysis shows that the bumblebee can fly because its wings encounter dynamic stall in every oscillation cycle."
If I had a threat behind a steel door I'd be better off to flee. In a situation where I couldn't flee I'd let the steel door do it's job, IE stop the threat via barrier.
If I ABSOLUTELY had to shoot the threat through the steel door then I would get closer. Anyone who thinks a 00 buck round will not penetrate a steel door better that a .380 is deluding themselves. It's not just one pellet, it's the whole can of whoop ass that gets the job done.
I have shot 00 buck through both sides of 55 gallon drums more times than I can count. Not the low recoil stuff though. Each pellet goes through both sides at 20 yards or less.
Think about it, a 54 gn pellet traveling at 1145 fps has half the mass, considerably less energy, and less momentum than a .380 ball ammo, reference Federal American Eagle. The fallacy is in thinking each pellet is driven by or somehow 'enhanced' the total power - that cannot be. If each pellet were driven by the total power, what would the sum of the 9 pellets come to?
OTOH, if the total energy, about 1457 ft-lbs equally divides over 9 pellets, each pellet only has about 157 ft-lbs of energy. That's really anemic, and just because there are 9 such pellets with the same energy doesn't increase the ballistics of an individual pellet.
Here's a quote from a test from the BoxOfTruth:
"The buckshot [Remington 9 pellet 00 full power] essentially performed like several slow 9mm rounds, penetrating a single door, but being stopped somewhere in the passenger."
Notice he said, "...several slow 9mm rounds..." Exactly what I've been saying and predicting except I've been comparing to .380. A .380. has 203 ft-lbs of energy, or 30% more energy than a 00 pellet and twice the mass. Penetration is only driven by the ballistics of the individual pellet, not the full energy of the round.
What is confusing is how impressive the collective load is but at the same time the ballistics of the individual pellets are not all that impressive. Together they are awesome, but when it comes to penetration, penetration is a function of the ballistics of the pellet, not the whole load.
Sounds like a job for real Science!
The effect of early pellets hitting 'close enough' could also weaken or distort the metal sufficiently to allow stragglers to get on through.
Very interesting numbers but it seems to me that you are comparing apples to oranges or something else that is not really comparable. If I shot a target with a 12 ga. and only one pellet hit, I would consider that a miss. The point of using a shotgun is to try and hit with all pellets. The wide shotgun pattern makes accuracy easier than say using a .380 which could very likely miss the target all together.
Interestingly related YouTube Video.
This person shoots all sorts of strange things out of his shotgun including Silly Putty slugs :biggrin2:
But, this load of shotgun pellets bound together with wax during flight would be one that is applicable to this thread since the pellets stay together right up until impact.
So basically it is loosely bound together 12 gauge fragmentation slug.
But, again, notice what the BoxOfTruth showed - "...like several slow 9mm rounds...". Slow 9mm rounds just about describes a .380. What he saw was the effect of the penetration power of the individual pellets. Whatever the full load is, each individual pellet has one ninth of that and that's all they have to get through a barrier.
The car was a good distance away in the BoxOfTruth.
What's different?
We don't know the thickness of the steel you shot and we don't know the thickness of the door shot. We know the steel on the door had backing behind it and what you shot was essentially sheet metal with no backing. We know that when the BoxofTruth shot the car door, is was essentially unbacked sheet metal. We know the 00 pellets stopped in the plywood where the .380 went through both sides of a steel door and went through a 7/16" plywood too. That's a huge difference, but it jives with my pellet theory.
If the pellets were close enough to each other, the individual pellet effect would go away and some kind of collective effect would replace it. E.g. if the pellets hit in say a 2" group. That might result in a collective effect where the barrier is experiencing a much greater penetration force.
It's no secret that when hunters want more penetration than they can get from 00, they go to the heavier 000.
Hickok45 shot a car door with birdshot and it did not even start to penetrate the metal - I'm not sure that it did much more than blast the paint off. Our first thought might be that birdshot loads aren't as powerful as buckshot loads. But they can be depending on the specific load. So how is it that #6 birdshot with nearly the same energy as 00 buck, barely scratches a sheet metal door? The energy and momentum of those individual small pellets is far to little to do much. Even though together they represent an energy of well over 1600 ft-lbs, individually they are almost nothing.
This illustrates the two effects of shot, be it bird or buck. Aside from stacking, shock and impact is a function of the combined load. Penetration is a function of the energy and momentum of an individual pellet. What else could explain how a total load of 1600 ft-lbs of #6 shot won't dent a sheet metal car door?
Likewise, when the 00 pellets are isolated from one another due to spread, they are simply 9, 54 gn, 0.33" pellets traveling at 1145 fps. They are acting totally independently as far as penetration goes, but for stopping power and impact energy they are working together.
There are basically threee effects with shot, one, they work together and exhibit nearly the full energy of the load; two, they work independently of each other and exhibit only the energy level of an individually pellet; or something in between.
This thread is looking at the ballistics of pellets when they are separated far enough to act independently. E.g. we fire a 9 pellet, 00 low recoil shot at 10 yards and they strike in a 10" group. The target is presented with the full energy of the load. But, since each pellet is working independently, the penetrative power is a function of individual pellet energy and momentum. The example of the #6 shot against the car door illustrates this effect.
"According to 20th century folklore, the laws of aerodynamics prove that the bumblebee should be incapable of flight, as it does not have the capacity (in terms of wing size or beats per second) to achieve flight with the degree of wing loading necessary. The origin of this claim has been difficult to pin down with any certainty. John McMasters recounted an anecdote about an unnamed Swiss aerodynamicist at a dinner party who performed some rough calculations and concluded, presumably in jest, that according to the equations, bumblebees cannot fly.[35] In later years McMasters has backed away from this origin, suggesting that there could be multiple sources, and that the earliest he has found was a reference in the 1934 French book Le vol des insectes; they had applied the equations of air resistance to insects and found that their flight was impossible, but that "One shouldn't be surprised that the results of the calculations don't square with reality".[36]
Some credit physicist Ludwig Prandtl (1875–1953) of the University of Göttingen in Germany with popularizing the idea. Others say it was Swiss gas dynamicist Jacob Ackeret (1898–1981) who did the calculations.
In 1934, French entomologist Antoine Magnan (1881-1938) included the following passage in the introduction to his book Le Vol des Insectes:
Tout d'abord poussé par ce qui se fait en aviation, j'ai appliqué aux insectes les lois de la résistance de l'air, et je suis arrivé avec M. Sainte-Laguë à cette conclusion que leur vol est impossible.
This translates to:
First prompted by what is done in aviation, I applied the laws of air resistance to insects, and I arrived, with Mr. Sainte-Laguë, at this conclusion that their flight is impossible.
Magnan refers to his assistant André Sainte-Laguë, a mathematician.
The calculations that purported to show that bumblebees cannot fly are based upon a simplified linear treatment of oscillating aerofoils. The method assumes small amplitude oscillations without flow separation. This ignores the effect of dynamic stall, an airflow separation inducing a large vortex above the wing, which briefly produces several times the lift of the aerofoil in regular flight. More sophisticated aerodynamic analysis shows that the bumblebee can fly because its wings encounter dynamic stall in every oscillation cycle.[37]
Additionally, John Maynard Smith, a noted biologist with a strong background in aeronautics, has pointed out that bumblebees would not be expected to sustain flight, as they would need to generate too much power given their tiny wing area. However, in aerodynamics experiments with other insects he found that viscosity at the scale of small insects meant that even their small wings can move a very large volume of air relative to the size, and this reduces the power required to sustain flight by an order of magnitude.[38]
Another description of a bee's wing function is that the wings work similarly to helicopter blades, "reverse-pitch semirotary helicopter blades".
Bees beat their wings approximately 200 times a second. Their thorax muscles do not expand and contract on each nerve firing but rather vibrate like a plucked rubber band."
From wiki, but there are numerous other "reputable" sources that disprove this particular bit of urban legend.
A 00 pellet has no where near the ballistics of a 9mm - it's not even in the ballpark. That's why I used the .380.
Just one more time for clarity, this is not in any way suggesting that only one 00 pellet is going to hit the threat or barrier or whatever. Nor does it question the devastating stopping power of a shotgun. But given that each pellet that hits the threat or whatever, is not close enough to any other pellet to cause a supportive effect, each pellet that hits the threat has less terminal ballistics than a .380.
So again, getting shot simultaneously with 7 .380s is equivalent in energy to 9 low recoil 00 pellets.
Thanks OPFOR - for filling in the gaps.

Fifa 13: I think I'm Jose Mourinho. And I like it
There are a few dates in the football calender – the Champions League final, transfer deadline day, FA Cup third round weekend – that will be marked down by fans as a day to savour and anticipate.
And every year, the argument that the release of video game Fifa and it's rival Pro Evolution Soccer should be added to that list, grows stronger.
Last year, Fifa 12 saw sales of 3.2 million in its first week of availability. At a retail price of around £40 in the UK, that's a revenue of £128 million. That puts it on a par in monetary terms with the all-time US opening weekend box office record. Staggering.
And yet the release of a new Fifa or PES installment does not promise the surprises of a new blockbuster. The majority of those who purchase the latest in the series will already own the previous version. Wide ranging changes are never the order of the day, but rather the game is ever so slightly tweaked to improve the gameplay, usually with the odd addition of a new playing mode.
But despite this, fans will be flocking to video game stores across the country to snap up Fifa 13 which was released on Friday. And it is quite possible new sales records will be broken – one trailer for Fifa 13 has over 4.6 million hits on YouTube.
It is almost impossible to understand quite what the lure of these games are, and yet when I first put Fifa 13 in my Xbox earlier this week, I couldn't wait for the loading to be over so I could start playing. I was desperate to begin giving my favoured team, Fulham, a run out, particularly with the new addition of Dimitar Berbatov to the attack. And in a case of art imitating life, the Cottagers' new No 9 scored twice on his home debut. I am hooked, yet again.
Perhaps it is the control of one's team's destiny that is so appealing. Fulham will never win the Premier League in real life, nor will they win the Champions League – but all these dreams are made possible by video games. A new feature means Fifa 13 will even allow me to manage England, and presuming the FA don't have my number, this is probably the closest I'll ever get.
Pitting your wits against fellow football fans is surely another draw. Every year, fantasy football games seem to grow in terms of participation as grown men frantically make virtual substitutions as they put together a team capable of scoring more points than their mates. The numbers of people who have thrown away their university years dedicating themselves to Championship Manager are countless. As I fiddle with my formation and tactics ahead of playing Fifa on two player, there is a small part of me that thinks I'm Jose Mourinho. And I like it.
There is of course the fact playing Fifa or PES are a quite brilliant way of wasting time. With little live football to watch on television, the realism created by the insanely brilliant graphics and commentary from the likes of Clive Tyldesley and Alan Smith provide a decent substitute.
As with all obsessions, they rarely make sense. But that won't be what millions of gamers are mulling over this weekend. Instead they will be locked in doors, suspending their belief and imagining for a moment they are Lionel Messi.

Dos and Don'ts
Greetings: Texans are typically friendly, so feel free to say hello to anyone on the street, ask directions, or just chat. Also, people love to shake hands in Dallas, and at bars, clientele can become collegial after a few drinks, so there may be plenty of hugging among people who have just met.
Transportation: Hop on DART light rail and the McKinney Avenue trolley to get around easily.
Tips: Tipping at restaurants and bars is customary—20 percent for good service when dining, 10 percent to a bartender who has taken good care of you. A dollar or two per bag is appropriate at hotels and three dollars is appropriate for the car valet.
Attire: It's OK to wear blue jeans most places today, and jackets and ties are rarely required anywhere—but it's a good idea to ask in advance. Some restaurants are not keen on shorts and flip-flop (beach) sandals. It's often warm, so dress in layers.
Boots: Don't be surprised to see lots of people wearing cowboy boots. In Texas, this isn't part of a costume but is typical daily dress. Buy some boots and feel at home. By the same token, this is a fashion-forward city, so don't be surprised to see women decked out in their best outfits and lots of make-up for a trip to the grocery store.
Carry Bottled Water and Sunscreen: It can be hot and often sunny, so you'll want to be prepared.
Reservations: Dinner reservations are a good idea at most every restaurant in Dallas on the weekends, and often on weeknights. It's easy to do online at www.opentable.com.
Driving: If you're driving on freeways, be warned that Dallas drivers can be unpredictable and impatient. Watch out for the other guy at all times, and be aware that weekday traffic can be bad during commuter rush hours, 7-9 a.m. and 4-7 p.m. On city streets, it's legal to right at a red light after stopping.
Phrase Book
While Texans speak English, it is often with a drawl, so words come out sounding different than you've ever heard before. Here are some pronunciations and expressions that are particular to Texas:
Awl: Oil
Fixin' to: Preparing to do something
Look here: May I have your attention?
Daincin': Dancing
Hayur: Hair
Weeun: Win
Bobwar: Barbed-wire, a kind of fence
Dad-gummit: Darn it
Dayum: Damn
Hep: Help
Icebox: Refrigerator
Gotta git: Need to leave
Spell (or spayul): A measure of time or distance as in, "Let's sit a spell."
Yawnto: Do you want to?
This ain't my first rodeo: I've done this before.
That dog won't hunt: That won't work or that's not true
Blue norther: A major cold front
Gully-washer or frog-strangler: Heavy rainfall
Come hell or high water: No matter what
Y'all: You all (can be used to address one or more people)

Rams announce 2012 football schedule
March 2, 2012
2012 CSU football schedule | Conference schedule
By Nick Frank
Athletic Media Relations
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State fans will get to see new Head Coach Jim McElwain coach his first game on the Rams' sideline Sunday, Sept. 2, when the Rams meet Colorado in the annual Rocky Mountain Showdown. The Rams also will travel to Air Force to open their conference slate on Sept. 29, part of the 114th football schedule in program history, announced by the Mountain West Friday.
Information on season tickets, including prices, renewal procedures and new-customer instructions, will be announced in the near future.
The Rams in 2012 are back to opening their schedule with Colorado after meeting the Buffs in Week 3 last season. The game also returns to Sunday, and could be the only contest in the nation – college or NFL – in its to-be-determined timeslot that day. NFL teams will have concluded their preseason schedules by Sept. 2. The Pac-12 will announce television and kickoff time for the contest, the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, at a later date.
Kickoff times for all CSU games, as well as televising networks, also will be announced later this spring, and there is a chance the date of a given game will move to accommodate a national broadcast, although the weekend will not change. CSU will announce special dates, such as Homecoming, in the near future.
In non-conference play, the Rams will have their first meeting with North Dakota State in school history. Colorado State head basketball coach Tim Miles coached six seasons for the Bison, leading their basketball squad to a 99-71 record. In 2011, North Dakota's football team went 14-1 en route to winning the FCS national championship.
CSU will then make its first of two 2012 trips to California, to play San Jose State, attempting to avenge a 38-31 loss in 2011. Rams special teams coordinator Jeff Hammerschmidt coached one year for the Spartans in 2007.
On Sept. 22, the Rams will host Utah State, in a rivalry that spans 110 years, including several decades in the same conference. Last season, CSU won in a double-overtime thriller, topping the Aggies, 35-34. The game will also have special meaning to new offensive coordinator Dave Baldwin, who spent the previous three seasons with USU.
Air Force, riding a six-year winning streak in the CSU series, will host the Rams in Colorado Springs on Sept. 29. Colorado State's last win over the Falcons came on Sept. 29, 2005, when Kyle Bell ran for 197 yards and three touchdowns, propelling the Rams to a 41-23 victory.
CSU will welcome a new addition to the Mountain West, hosting Fresno State on Oct. 6. It will mark the 12th meeting (CSU leads 7-4 in series) between the two schools. The last time the Rams and Bulldogs squared off was the 2008 New Mexico Bowl, where Gartrell Johnson established an NCAA postseason record with 375 combined rushing and receiving yards, helping CSU top Fresno State, 40-35. Three coaches on CSU's current staff, (McElwain, offensive line coach Derek Frazier and linebackers coach Tim Skipper) have coached for Fresno State at some point in their careers.
On Oct. 13, when the Rams travel to San Diego State, fans will get to see whether CSU RB Chris Nwoke can assemble a performance comparable to his 2011 effort against the Aztecs. Last season in Fort Collins, as part of an astounding 810 yards in five games (162 .0 yards per game), one of Nwoke's breakout games came against SDSU, when he rushed 22 times for 232 yards and a touchdown. The Oct. 13 contest will mark CSU's last conference game against the Aztecs, who are departing for the Big East in 2013.
After an Oct. 20 CSU bye week, Hawaii will travel more than 3,200 miles to Fort Collins for the first time since 1997, to play the Rams on Oct. 27. The meeting in 1997 was one of the more lopsided games in the history of Sonny Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium, with CSU defeating the Warriors, 63-0, when both programs were members of the Western Athletic Conference.
For the first time since 2006, the annual Border War against the Wyoming Cowboys will not conclude the regular-season schedule. The Rams, who travel to Laramie on Nov. 3, will try to stop Wyoming from winning its fourth-straight Bronze Boot. The last time the Rams brought the storied Bronze Boot back to Fort Collins was 2008, also the last time that CSU went to a bowl game.
CSU will host UNLV on Nov. 10, marking the 21st meeting between the two schools. The Rams have won seven of the last nine games against the Rebels but suffered a tough loss in Las Vegas during the 2011 campaign, falling 38-35.
On Nov. 17, the Rams will make their first trip to Boise, Idaho, to play Boise State. BSU, which went 12-1 in 2011 and finished No. 8 in the AP poll following the season, will have to replace its Heisman Trophy candidate Kellen Moore at quarterback. Moore had started the past four seasons for the Broncos, winning an NCAA-record 50 games in that span. The contest will mark the programs' second and final game as members of the same conference, as the Broncos will depart for the Big East in 2013.
To conclude the regular season on Nov. 24, the Rams will look to win their third in a row against New Mexico, when the Lobos come to Sonny Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium. McElwain will meet another Mountain West first-year coach in Bob Davie. In addition, Baldwin will meet another former team, as he was the Lobos' offensive coordinator from 2007-08.

Here I describe two problems compiling Cg 1.1 demos and upgrading from Cg v1.1 to Cg v1.2 which seem to be common and can waste significant time and efforts to unexperienced developers.
First if anyone has problems compiling the Cg 1.1 demos that come with the SDK for Linux and complaining about glut whatever, just go to: http://www.csit.fsu.edu/~blanco/Cg/Cg_projects.htm and pay attention to the lines describing how to modify the Makefile, by adding some library paths. (should be done for the Mekafile in each demo's directory)
Well this works OK with version Cg v1.1. So I was working for a while and everything was just fine. Unfortunately if you upgrade to the new Cg v1.2 which is available from nVidia since end of February you may appear to have problems compiling your *.c or *.cpp files with the Makefile you already have.
Although the Cg compiler is working and you can compile the file with command like that:
email@example.com$ cgc -profile vp30 -o vertexProfile.vp vertexProfile.cg
you will not be able to compile the Cg loading program or even execute already compiled one. In my case I got several erros about undefined references in pthread_**** in lib /usr/lib/libCg.so on my Slackweare 9.1. It appears that additional pthread library should be added to the linker path. So what you can do is to open your Makefile and assure that you have -pthread statement in one of the following lines: (usually only one you should have not both lines)
LFLAGS= -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXmu -lXi -lCgGL -lCg -lglut -lGLU -lGL -pthread
LLDLIBS = -lm -lXm -lCgGL -lCg -lGL -lGLU -lglut -lXi -pthread
After correcting the libs paths everything has to be fine.
I want to thank Jason Allen who enlightened me on this solution for hte second problem. Thanks Jason.

WATKINSVILLE - The ball left Tim Bondell's bat and soared over left field for what seemed like days.
When it finally landed somewhere beyond the left-field fence, Blessed Trinity's players were dancing into the second round of the Class AAA Tournament. The Titans ended Oconee County's season with a 9-8 victory at Arrowhead Park on Saturday.
Bondell's towering, game-winning home run capped a crazy game that included a comeback by Oconee County in the seventh inning.
Trailing 7-3 going into the top of the seventh, the Warriors stormed back with five runs to take an 8-7 lead into the bottom of the inning before Bondell's heroics.
"We're really proud of the way they battled back," Oconee County coach Stan Fricks said. "Blessed Trinity is the defending state champion, and we showed that we can play with them."
The Titans (19-8), who won 10-3 in Game 1 on Friday night, advanced to play Cartersville in the second round.
Oconee County ended its season at 17-10.
After starter Jimmy Coleman held the Warriors to just three runs through six innings, Blessed Trinity turned to Jonathan Kolowich to close out the series.
Kolowich and his sidearm delivery were promptly greeted by John Newsome, who reached second on a misplayed ball in right field. After walking John Duke and giving up back-to-back doubles to Spencer Ellis and Nick Stephens, Carl Della Torre hit a game-tying single.
Four batters later, designated hitter Alex Yarbrough drove in Della Torre for the go-ahead run.
However, the Warriors' euphoria was short-lived.
Newsome, in relief of starter Derek Varnadore, retired the first two Titans in the seventh. He hit Kevin Smith with a pitch, setting the stage for Bondell, who crushed a belt-high fastball for the win.
"We did the same thing to Gainesville last year, so we're no stranger to walk-off home runs," Oconee County pitching coach Tom Gooch said.
For much of the game, the Warriors fell victim to sloppy defense and wild pitching.
Of the Titans' nine runs, five reached base because of an error, a walk or were hit by a pitch. Varnadore lasted just 11/3 innings after throwing the first two innings in Friday night's second game, which was postponed because of rain.
"When you're in the playoffs and you're playing the defending state champions, every error, every hit, and every bad pitch is magnified," Gooch said. "There were innings where if we make one pitch or one play, we keep a run off the board."
After the Titans jumped to a 5-0 lead the Warriors answered with runs in the third. Blessed Trinity added runs in the third and fourth before Della Torre's solo homer in the fifth cut the lead to 7-3.
Stephens went 2-for-4 with four RBIs to lead the Warriors.
"This just shows our guys that you have to play sound in all aspects of the game every day or a good team will beat you," Gooch said.
Game 2
Oconee County 002 010 5 - 8 9 2
Blessed Trinity 321 100 2 - 9 6 2
Coleman and Kolowich. Varnadore and Newsome. W-Kolowich. L-Newsome.
HR-Bondell, Della Torre. 2B-Ellis, Stephens.

Area leaders and legislators deserve congratulations for their success in securing $7.5 million in state funds to renovate the former Kitchens Inc. building into the linchpin of the fast-growing Paducah School of Art and Design.
The Kentucky House and Senate have approved a budget that includes the $7.5 million, part of a larger package to be funded by the first-ever agency bonds authorized for the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). The governor appears certain to sign the legislation.
The $7.5 million will be the state's share of the roughly $10 million it will require to renovate the 30,000-square-foot Kitchens Inc. building to house drawing, painting and photography programs for the art school, which is a part of West Kentucky Community and Technical College.
The remaining $2.5 million will be raised locally, and that effort already is well underway. The college along with the PJC Foundation kicked off a fundraising drive last July that had already raised $650,000 as of early this year. Securing of the state funding is certain to add momentum to the local fundraising effort and the goal is at a level this community has successfully funded several times in the past.
The state money is part of an approximately $146 million package to be paid for with the KCTCS agency bonds. Colleges in the KCTCS system had received no money for capital projects during three prior biennial budgets due to the impact of the Great Recession and slow recovery on state finances. The agency bond package developed in this year's session required each of the Commonwealth's 16 community and technical colleges to specify one priority capital project. The package is designed to fund 75 percent of the cost of each project, conditioned on the remainder being raised locally. The agency bonds' debt service will be paid for with a student fee surcharge - $4 per credit hour this fall, rising to $8 per credit hour in the years ahead.
The Paducah School of Art and Design is already a success. It has grown to more than 400 students in its six years of existence despite operating out of an array of mostly temporary quarters. Its campus fits neatly geographically and thematically with the Lower Town Historic District and the Artist Relocation Program centered there.
Obtaining the state money for the renovation was a top priority for the Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce, which pushed hard for it in Frankfort. For that work we commend them.
WKCTC President Barbara Veazey says the college would like to begin construction this July and have the renovation completed in time for the 2015 academic year. She concedes that will require a lot of local fundraising in a short period of time, but believes that is achievable.
We agree. The art school already is a great asset to the city's downtown neighborhoods and another cog in the greater downtown redevelopment that has made Paducah the envy of many communities. The effort to fund the local portion of the Kitchens Inc. project deserves the Paducah area's full support.

text: I had the same problem for about the first week (Also Cox Phoenix). After that it settled down. In the process of trouble shooting the problem I un-hooked the off-air antenna since most of the off-air stuff was duplicated in the cable lineup. No problems since. My 2nd S3 was connected to off-air and analog cable with no cablecards. This Tivo did all kind of wierd things. The second tuner would randomly just show 'no signal' from cable or the antenna source. When tuner 2 was working it would intemittently show lines in the picture as well as strange color band in the analog picture. While troubleshooting the problem with Tivo on the phone we managed to get both tuners 'stuck' on a channel. The banner would change, but the picture was stuck on whatever channel it was displaying. It would have been funny if this wasn't such an expensive toy . Tivo is exchanging this box and as far as I know the replacement is on the way. Here's hoping for a referb with an orange display .

RISD staff rally to oppose new teacher evaluation system
Students and educators rally in front of the Chaves County Courthouse, Wednesday afternoon. (Mark Wilson Photo)
Roswell Independent School District parents, students, teachers and other classroom staff rallied Wednesday in opposition to a teacher evaluation system that the New Mexico Public Education Department is rolling out this year.
The "Take It Back Day" rallies organized by the New Mexico chapters of educational staff unions National Education Association and American Federation of Teachers took place in 80 of the state's 89 public school districts, according to Greg Maxie, UniServ director for Southeastern New Mexico.
UniServ assists in advocacy and training for NEA, which represents classroom staff in Roswell.
The rally, held in front of the Chaves County Courthouse, focused on what the 30 participants said was an excessive emphasis on standardized testing results in the new evaluation system.
Cynthia Gustamantes, who teaches fifth grade at Monterrey Elementary School, referred to the evaluation system as a [auth] "morale buster."
"We hear too much about failure and our district here, we're doing wonderful things," she said.
Public Education Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera, who instated the new system in August, referred to Wednesday's rallies as "nothing short of extraordinary."
She said the state could not afford to delay on the implementations.
"For too long, we've done too little for our students," she said.
NEA-NM and some state senators have requested more time to implement new evaluations.
Thirty-three districts across the state have adopted resolutions in opposition to the current implementation of the evaluations, according to informal survey results shared by Floyd Municipal School District with other districts in a Nov. 19 email. Seventy-six districts replied to the survey, stated the email which was forwarded to the Record by Maxie.
District Superintendent Tom Burris said RISD has not passed such a resolution.
Despite protests, the administration of Gov. Susana Martinez indicated last week that implementation will continue as planned, according to the Associated Press.
Burris said he sees some benefits to the new evaluations. He said that in comparison to the previous evaluation system, the new system allows for greater nuance in assessing teachers.
"The old system was really, it was a good teacher or a not good teacher," he said.
The new system categorizes teachers on a five-point scale from ineffective to exemplary, which Burris said gives the district greater opportunity to reward teachers for their strengths.
He attributes resistance to the new system to concerns about change.
RISD is one of several districts in the state with a customized plan for the evaluations. While under the statewide plan, 50 percent of a teacher's rating is based on improvement in standardized testing scores of students, in RISD 35 percent of a score is based on test results.
Roswell rally attendees took time Wednesday to lament the general frequency of standardized testing in the district.
Two participants held signs that read, "More teaching, less testing." Other attendees held signs with similar messages.
Roswell High junior Maryruth Gedde, 16, said the amount of testing students undergo is "overwhelming." She said she would go through four bouts of standardized testing by the end of the school year.
According to Gedde, teachers "don't get to invest as much time in learning as they do in watching us test."
Her mother, Tamra Gedde, a Sierra Middle science teacher who is involved in NEA, complained about the observation portion of the new system.
She said she was shocked when she found she had received a three on the five-point evaluation scale. A three is equated with a rating of "effective."
She said the rating tells her that her investment in high-level professional development "means nothing to the current evaluation system."

Fool 4 With a Conscience
by (Knightflyer)
Taking a quick look at the top 10 picks of the Dow (including the Foolish 4), any Fool is generally going to recognize the company names. He or she may know something about which business is that company's main focus.
A potential problem arises, however, when a Fool, ready to brave the waters of managing his own money finds that one of the Foolish 4 picks is an unethical company (in his opinion). From a purely financial standpoint, the Foolish 4 strategy looks primarily at the stock price and the dividend that is being returned. Who cares if they make tires or bulldozer treads? (These products reflect the likes of Goodyear and Caterpillar, respectively.)
"So... what's the problem, Fool?" you ask. Amongst the top 10 stocks currently is Big Tobacco company Philip Morris. Doubtless, some of our Fools have no problem investing in this particular American giant -- but I do, and I'd bet I'm not alone.
Here, however, is the wonderful thing about being a Fool -- you don't have to buy anything you don't want to. Unlike an index fund, or a mutual fund that is going to invest your money who-knows-where, you and you alone decide the fate of your money, my fine Fool. If you're like me, and feel that the Philip Morris company is selling cancer by the cartoon, you can choose not to put your money there. The Foolish 4 is a guideline; you alone decide your actual course of action.
Choose well, Fool. The health of your portfolio might not be the only thing at stake; it could be the health of your family as well.

New Option for Car Tag Renewals
There will be a new option for renewing car tags. Starting Monday, Jefferson County drivers can go to the Hoover Met. "Eventually that will draw a very large crowd," Revenue Director Travis Hulsey said. "That will help both our downtown offices here in Birmingham, and also Bessemer." Both courthouses have been hit with long lines. The Hoover Met is a temporary location for the service. Hulsey says the county is looking for a permanent spot along Highway 31.

I had a Revision Rhinoplasty 8 months ago on the bridge of my nose.
the swelling on the bridge still comes and goes. and sometimes it's so bad that when I squeeze the lower part of the bridge(the cartilage), it seems like it's full of water because it makes a noise as if water has been trapped there. so I squeeze the water out and then when I lie down or after a few minutes, the fluid comes back and makes my nose look swollen (spongy) again.
is this a permanant side effect of the surgery or will it ever go away. also, since the spongy part makes my nose look bigger, would it be a bad thing to go through another surgery in a few months to make the structure thinner?

Are You Serving More Small Builders?
March 27, 2012
I came across an article recently from a Delaware newspaper that points out that smaller builders are making a comeback with the housing market as it begins to show signs of life. While we still have a long path to travel in terms of the housing market's recovery, the article notes that smaller builders are getting busier and reporting that business has picked up quite a bit this spring.
Not that the large builders have left the scene, but I'm curious to know from the window and door companies serving the new construction segment of the residential housing market—are your customer demographics changing? Are you serving more smaller builders and contracting companies than you have in years past? Are you seeing these customers gain traction as the market moves toward healthier levels?
Looking a little further out, do you think the recovery presents an opportunity for smaller companies to gain market share against the big builders, many of whom were decimated during the downturn? If you're interested in sharing your thoughts, I'd love to know what you're seeing happen among your customer make-up on the new construction side of the business. Post a comment or send me an email with your thoughts.
Survey Results as of 04/3/2012 :
Compared to several years ago, has your mix of new construction customers changed?
We are seeing more small builders.
We don't see much change.
We're seeing fewer small builders.
A slight majority of respondents see smaller builders playing a larger role in the market. I think this makes sense, to be honest with you. Our industry has just survived a fairly traumatic shake-up of our economy in general, and of the nature of the housing industry, specifically. Companies have had to change and remain nimble in order to simply survive during this recessionary period, which is why it makes sense that we're likely to see our customer base shifting in the window and door industry.
For those of you serving the new construction market, more than half are seeing the customer roster shift more toward smaller companies. This is not an overwhelming majority, by any means, but it could be a trend worth watching as we begin the slow path to recovery. Indeed, as pent-up demand in the new construction market begins to break free, perhaps there are additional business opportunities to be found in serving smaller builders. Something to keep a close eye on, for sure.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/6/2013 (1468 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The City of Brandon considers itself a big winner from the Sand Hills Casino announcement, but significant tourism money from the project is still a wildcard.
Sandy Trudel, the city's director of economic development, said it's still unclear where the casino will draw visitors from, and whether Brandon will be a hub for those tourists.
"Until we fully understand what their operational model will look like and where they're drawing their visitors from, it's really difficult to determine whether it will be new income into the community from a tourism lens," Trudel said.
"We won't know that until they get operating."
She said any casino's draw is dependent upon the level of service it provides. If it's basic, it'll be less of a tourism draw.
When it is completed, the $20-million, 31,000-square-foot casino will house 350 slot machines, gaming tables, a restaurant and a bar — what right now is considered to be the first phase of a multi-phase project for Hemisphere Gaming, the company building the casino.
The project, near Highway 5 south of Carberry, is slated to open in 2014, and Trudel has no doubts about the spinoff for Brandon.
Before the casino swings open its doors, the benefit from construction work is the most obvious, including employment for construction workers, and money coming in for goods and services, Trudel said. A number of Brandon-based companies have already been awarded portions of the casino project.
However, Trudel said it's premature to give a firm dollar figure on the benefit because it's not known where the builders will purchase all their goods — whether it be through Brandon, elsewhere in Westman or other parts of Manitoba.
Once construction is over, Trudel anticipates the city will then have a steady drip of benefit once the doors open through ongoing operations and maintenance demands.
"It's not unrealistic to expect a lot of those benefits to accrue to the local businesses in Brandon," Trudel said.
According to a Sand Hills Casino spokesperson, the casino will deal out 150 full-time jobs, including information technology, human resources, marketing, on-floor dealers, cashiers and restaurant servers.
And Trudel also pointed out Brandon's underemployed or unemployed filling those positions would also increase the casino's benefit to the city.
The Sand Hills Casino project, formerly known as the Spirit Sands Casino and Resort, will be the third First Nations-owned casino in the province. When it is finished, it will be the second casino that has been built by Hemisphere Gaming.
Trudel said the benefits for Brandon are "a given" when a project of this size happens anywhere in southwest Manitoba.
The casino will be built on Swan Lake First Nation and profits from Sand Hills will be shared by all Manitoba First Nations.

2. Re: FTP/telnet issue on OL 5 64bitDude! Mar 15, 2013 12:24 PM (in response to 564841)FTP and Telnet are really obsolete and considered a security risk. Both were replaced by the SSH2 package many years ago. Btw, you should use YUM and not install some very old Fedora software using RPM under Enterprise Linux, which can break your system beyond repair.
If you really need a FTP server, simply do the following without the need to install any additional software.
What was the outcome of your previous post here?
cd /etc/xinetd.d/ vi gssftp Change the following: disable = yes to disable = no. remove the –a option in the server_args line. /etc/init.d/xinetd restart You should now be able to FTP to your server.
