LONG BEACH -- U.S. Rep. Alan Lowenthal says that the debt ceiling will be raised despite Republican threats because the issue is tied to automatic spending cuts neither party wants to see happen.
Known as sequestration, the cuts total $1.2 trillion divided between domestic programs and defense and take effect March 1.
During an interview late last week at his new Long Beach district office, Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, said Congress "has to send a message of stability."
"The question is, will it be done with a gun to our head, to each other and at the last minute, or will it be part of a plan that really begins to look at some of our long-range tax reform (and) responsible kinds of cuts we need to look at?" asked Lowenthal, who was sworn in Jan. 3.
Issues covered by Lowenthal in the one-hour interview included taxes, health care, the environment and partisanship in Washington.
Also discussed was gun control, amid a nationwide debate on gun policies following the Dec. 14 mass killing at an elementary school in Connecticut where a gunman used an assault rifle to shoot 20 children and six adults to death.
The 71-year-old congressman said he doesn't believe the framers of the Constitution intended to guarantee ownership of rifles used by today's military with high-capacity ammunition magazines.
"I think the overwhelming American public agrees with me," Lowenthal said. He called for "responsible" gun laws and a re-examination of how mentally ill persons are clinically treated.
How taxes for U.S. corporations operating outside of the country are collected should be part of tax reform negotiations, Lowenthal said.
"I think we know that we have an antiquated system that has to be fixed to compete in a global economy."
Lowenthal, who supports universal health care, said the country has decided to continue with a free market-based system so we should look at ways to decrease costs on the provider and consumer sides and use technology to create more efficient delivery of services.
He also said fee-for-service health care models are flawed, mentioning managed-care consortium Kaiser Permanente as an alternative.
"We do have different kinds of models that are out there," Lowenthal said.
On other topics, the freshman congressman reiterated plans to see how the federal government can partner with local ports to find resources to help the goods movement get to zero emissions.
He also expressed interest in campaign finance reform, calling the current, money-heavy system "a direct threat to democracy" and advocating public financing of elections.
"I don't think that's realistic at the moment," he said.
His first vote was one in favor of a $9.7 billion Superstorm Sandy relief package after the previous Congress shelved a larger assistance plan. Lowenthal also said he was appointed to the House Committee on Natural Resources, having previously been named to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
After years of prominent positions in Sacramento, Lowenthal said his new offices are in the so-called "freshman attic," the less desirable offices designated for newcomers in the Cannon House Office Building near the Capitol.
A former Cal State Long Beach psychology professor, Lowenthal said sweeping changes are less likely to come from a period of stability, and he sees hope that the turmoil of the last several years will result in a more positive direction for the country and for the way Congress operates.
"People want it to change," Lowenthal said. "They want the institution to change."
Lowenthal was elected in November to represent the new 47th Congressional District running from Long Beach into western Orange County.

Gunshots over Woman
A Schenectady man is charged with shooting into a home in Scotia, police said.

Daly has a license to own the semi-automatic handgun. Officers responding to the reported shooting took Daly into custody in front of the house and recovered the weapon.
Daly is charged with the felonies of Criminal Possession of a Weapon (2nd Degree) and Reckless Endangerment (1st Degree). He was arraigned in Rotterdam Town Court and sent to the Schenectady County Jail in lieu of bail, police said.

Spanking as a discipline for a naughty 5 years old son
It would break my heart every time i spank my son. Its the only way he would stop or listen to me.I started hitting him with belt a month ago when my "face to the wall" punishment doesn't work anymore.I want him to grow a happy and good child I badly need some advice on this thing.
3rd October 2013 06:26 AM #2
Dear Harvi,
It breaks my heart reading your post. Many of us in the gentle parenting world, include myself, would say please don't hit your son - especially not with a belt. Physical discipline like this has actually been found to be ineffective at teaching children and it can have long term negative impacts including social problems in adulthood. I know it is hard when our children don't behave as we would ideally like but there are alternative forms of discipline available which are more effective and, importantly, demonstrate to our children love and respect.
The Children's charity NSPCC have produced the resource 'why smacking is never a good idea' and they have this information on positive parenting. Save the Children's statement about this topic is 'years of experience show that smacking doesn't work. It can have a very detrimental outcome on a child's development.' Indeed, it is actually against the law in many countries, particularly using an instrument to harm a child.
Dr. Sears is a doctor famed for his Attachment Parenting (otherwise known as Gentle Parenting) work and he writes:
'Discipline is more about building the right relationship with your child than using the right techniques. You want to put into place a guidance system that keeps the child in check at age four and keeps his behavior on track at age forty, and you want this system to be integrated into the child's whole personality, a part of him or her.'
I really can't recommend his resources on discipline highly enough. This includes offering offering alternatives to a situation in which a child is behaving in a way you are unhappy with. For example, if them are throwing all their toys on the floor saying 'I see you want to do some throwing now, shall we go outside and play ball or shall we go down to the park'. With gentle discipline, we seek to allow our children to explore the world and guide them to ways in doing this that are acceptable. Using humour to diffuse a potential conflict/ difficult situation is also an excellent tool.
Little Hearts Books is again another excellent gentle discipline resource. In this article on 'Practical, Gentle, Effective Discipline' the author writes:
'Drawing them close (time-in), offering words to help them express their frustrations (reflective language), and modeling coping skills and self-control for them are all ways of reconnecting with them to help them successfully navigate their present difficulty as well as cope with those they're confronted with in the future.'
I hope this is helpful for you and your son.
Please do post back and let us know how we can support you with this further.
Warm wishes,

Thank You. It really helps me a lot.I would really try all my best to discipline him in a good way because He's everything I have and I want him to grow a very good person. Thank you for your time .

I am so pleased to read your post. You sound like a mum who really puts her son first which is great.
I hope you do find the above resources helpful. Please post back anytime if you need anymore advice or support.
From all my experience, practicing gentle discipline leads to children that are happy, respectful and mindful of others.
I wish you all the best,

Families of four members of Jenni Rivera's entourage who were killed when the singer's plane crashed last month in Mexico have filed a lawsuit against the jet's owners and Rivera's Encino-based company.
The lawsuit claims the pilots flying the LearJet were not licensed to operate the plane and the jet was poorly maintained.
The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court Thursday on behalf of four passengers who died in the Dec. 9 crash: Arturo Rivera, her public relations aide; Jorge Vasquez, her hairstylist; Jacobo Yebale, her makeup artist; and her attorney Mario Pacheco.
"This plane literally fell out of the sky in a nose dive," said Paul Kiesel, attorney for the four families, at a press conference in downtown Los Angeles.
"This is intended to punish the actors for what occurred here," he added.
Vasquez, Yebale, Pacheco, Arturo Rivera and Jenni Rivera died last month when the jet crashed in northern Mexico about 15 minutes after departing Monterrey, Mexico. Also killed were pilots Miguel Perez Soto and Alejandro Torres.
The two-engine turbojet plunged almost vertically from more than 28,000 feet and hit the ground in a nose dive at a speed that may have exceeded 600 miles per hour, Mexican transportation officials said.
Mexican authorities and the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.
The lawsuit names the plane's owners, Starwood Management Group and Rodatz Financial Group, as well as its previous owners, McOCO Inc. The current and previous owners "negligently and carelessly" leased a plane that was "in dangerous and defective condition," the suit alleges. The suit points out that the 1969 vintage Learjet LJ25 was previously damaged in a 2005 incident.
The suit also names Rivera Enterprises because it's believed the late singer's company may have played a role in chartering the plane, Kiesel said.
Additionally, pilot Soto, 78, didn't have a license to fly above 18,000 feet, the suit alleges. The co-pilot, Torres, 20, wasn't qualified to fly a LearJet 25, according to the suit. Neither man was permitted to fly passengers for hire, said Kiesel.
Starwood Management Group and McOCO could not be reached for comment.
The case was filed in the United States rather than Mexico for a variety of reasons, including the fact that the flight is believed to have originated from Van Nuys Airport.
Mark Schmaltz, a Van Nuys-based aviation expert who appeared with Kiesel at the press conference, said he believed there were a handful of incidents that could have brought the plane down. The cabin may have lost cabin pressure, for instance.
"There are other accidents that happened in the last 30-40 years that have had similar characteristics," Schmaltz told reporters. "And in most instances, it's been traced back to some sort of mechanical or structural failure, or incapacitation of the crew."
Schmaltz declined to comment on what the passengers may have experienced, and if they lost consciousness as the plane plummeted.
"I would rather not speculate what those last few moments would have been like," Schmaltz said.
Rivera was known in Mexico and the United States as "La Diva de la Banda," a singer who had sold more than 15 million records of banda music. Born and raised in Long Beach, Rivera was one of the biggest stars of the Mexican regional style known as grupero music, which is influenced by the norte o, cumbia and ranchero styles.
The home of Rivera's mother in Lakewood, where numerous press conferences were held in the days following the plane crash, was quiet Thursday. No one answered the door and no cars were parked in the driveway, near the remains of a memorial of flowers, photos and other mementos set up by fans that appeared to be in the process of being cleaned up, with many items in a nearby trash can.
The family did not immediately respond to an email sent Thursday seeking comment about the lawsuit.

Verry nice story. So inspiring! Thank you verry much!
The rejections really hurts but in a positive way that is the feed for better projects.
Great article!
Yeah. She's not the only one.
1. Michael Jordan was kicked out of his basketball team when he was a kid because he wasn't skilled enough…lived to become America's greatest
2. Messi was kicked out of his football team when he was a kid for not being tall enough – now he's the only football player in history to have won Ballon D'Oro 3 times in a row!
3. Steve Jobs – we all know this one…
4. Einstein – again…we all know it…failed to pass his class and his teacher told his parents he would "never amount to much"
So yeah, as they say in my country(and language) a kick in the ass is a big step forward.
Finally found the vid!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLYECIjmnQs
Take that for a confirmation to the title.
Creativity stems from finding new paths from one failed path, and realizing something greater – no mistakes, only lessons.
So instead of waiting for others to reject, "rejecting the self" might be more easier way to creativity
- reviewer's point of view

But that is what most people found to be so hard. Being your own critique. If everybody could judge his/her work objectively then there would be no need for reviewers at all
Maybe just one initial review, a test to measure if the author is able to judge his own creation objectively. If passed the gates to the marketplace would open for good.
Don't know if this kind of test is possible to make though.

I'm having trouble with extremely large network scans and was wondering if anyone else was having issues. Trying to scan 16 Class Bs (yes, that's crazy but the company's IP schema is set up poorly) and it blows up all GUI versions of nmap but command line doesn't work much better. It can't seem to read from the list. I'm using 'nmap -iL - iplist.txt -PR -O -oX test.xml'
My goal is that it reads from the list, does a name resolution, OS identify, and outputs xml to a file. It seems to have major problems reading from the file AND when it errors out it prints my format back as 'nmap -O -oX -PR -test.xml iplist.txt'
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Sucks for Hendricks though who is a far better fighter than Diaz.
Sucks for Hendricks though who is a far better fighter than Diaz.
UFC are slowly going down a slippery slope with this, the Sonnen v Jones fight etc.
Diaz will be planted on his back and smashed like he used to get when in the UFC last time, he is a great stand up fighter when put up against stand up fighters but wrasslers are his kryptonite, he will lose and then he is fucked for awhile, where will he go from the loss against GSP, I dont even see it being close, Condit posed more of a threat to GSP than Diaz will, I like Diaz but he doesnt deserve this fight, nor does he really have much chance - its almost going to be the same as Bendo v Diaz MKII was.
Hendricks would make more sense, be a more interesting fight to see as well (or at least consider in the run up to it). Diaz looked great in Strikeforce but people forget how average he looked at times in the UFC prior to that - he has grown as a fighter no doubt but is rake thin and can't defend takedowns against top tier wrasslers as well as Hendricks potentially could.
Just meh.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
we'll always see business focused deals above sport focused ones whilst this remains the case, i.e. until we have an official governing body for the sport....which we'll likely never ever have.
"The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war"
Can see this fight being one sided but anyone counting Diaz out needs to get their head examined? Personally would rather see this fight than Hendricks, but lets be honest, hendrick still only has a punchers chance to win. A win for either is just as unlikely though Diaz possibly has more ways to win?
Diaz probably doesn't deserve it over Hendricks and I still cant believe that people still cant accept the fact that Condit picked diaz apart when they fought, it wasn't even close. However, it could also be argued that Kos beat Hendricks, though that fight was a hell of a lot closer. Hendricks problem now is that he has to beat Ellenberger to stay no.1 contender, and I think that is a 50/50 fight. Shit luck!!
Diaz may be coming off a loss and he was beaten by Condit fair and square IMO, but he;s still an elite fighter who is entirely capable of giving GSP a huge challenge. It's also a grudge fight many people want to see.
BTW I thought Henderson beat Edgar in the first fight but Edgar clearly won the second IMO.
I agree that the UFC is entertainment before it is a sport. And they know that. That's why they are doing this. GSP/Diaz does way more PPV buys than GSP/Hendricks. And while internally they know they are entertainment first, they will always publically say that they are a sport first.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
Wanted to say that there are some great points on this thread.
I agree that the UFC has become more about entertainment than sport when it comes to certain title shots. That's why Diaz, Edgar, and Sonnen are getting fights that they haven't earned.
I also think that's why Ronda Rousey is being given a 'safe' debut against Liz Carmouche, instead of facing Miesha Tate, who gave her the toughest bout of her career, or Sara McMann, who's undefeated.
Dont really care about the politics atm,the sport is still gonna grow even if the UFC does do away with the "next in line" policy from time to time. Fights like GSP - Diaz also do their bit for bringing in new fans,and as a MMA fan i cant wait to see this fight- build up to end.

Does anybody know who this referee is?
There have been reports of a fighter suffering a TKO due to leg kicks and then hobbling out to the ring for another fight a few fights later?
I am interested to speak to the referee who I believe was enjoying his debut as an official.

Beyonce covers 'TIME' Magazine's 'Most Influential People' issue
Beyonce just scored a major honor as TIME Magazine's cover girl for their annual TIME 100 issue.
In it, they rate the most influential people in the world and Queen Bey is sitting at the top of that list.
"Beyoncé doesn't just sit at the table. She builds a better one. Today she sits at the head of the boardroom table at Parkwood Entertainment," says the article.
It also applauds her ground-breaking album release of Beyonce and praised her for going against the grain by including Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on the record, "Pretty Hurts."
"In December, she took the world by surprise when she released a new album, complete with videos, and announced it on Facebook and Instagram," it says. "Beyoncé shattered music-industry rules — and sales records."

Paul Hamm,
gymnast, found himself at the center of a controversy when Olympic judges erroneously awarded the gold medal in the all-around competition to him, when it should have gone to South Korean gymnast Yang Tae Young. Officials allowed Hamm to keep the medal. It was a bittersweet end to a stunning performance by Hamm, who stumbled early on in the competition, only to excel in later events to launch an astonishing comeback.

This retractable dog leash earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it was the strongest, most durable, and easy to use. The Best Leash successfully supported more than twice its maximum weight capacity—unlike lesser models whose brakes failed and cartridges cracked—and it showed no signs of damage after the 16' nylon webbing was tugged aggressively 100 times. Even when dropped 10 times onto concrete, the sturdy plastic case did not crack and the braking system worked flawlessly, while lesser models suffered damage to the case and brake. The Best Retractable Leash has two brake settings for temporarily freezing or permanently locking the line length, and unlike lesser models, both buttons are easily accessed with one hand. The rubberized ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip, and the metal clasp slips easily through two large metal rings on the safety collar. Black or Red.Large. For dogs up to 110 lbs. 9 1/2" L x 6 1/2" W x 1 1/2" D. (1 lb.)

Best expandable leash
By Randy w/2 dogs
from Mechanicsburg, PA
I've had about 10 of these leashes over the years and this is the best. Sturdy construction, smooth take out and retraction of the leash, and softer, comfortable handle for walking. I like the leash is a heavier mesh-like material and not a think metal line like others. I expect it to last for many years.

#1: Almost 38 need skin care advice
This is my face sans makeup. My upper lids and eyebrows are tattooed on. My skin is still fairly good. I don't tan, I wear no foundation or powder, and I don't really do too much else besides use mascara and lipgloss. I use Ponds coldcream at night to remove my makeup. I am not sure what to do as I get older to keep my skin in good shape.

Lexus GS400 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the Lexus GS400 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
2Known Problems
Sludge can build up in the engine because Lexus did not recommend frequent enough oil changes. Lexus will sometimes offer a discount on cleaning the engine if necessary. Owners who changed their oil every 3,000 miles did not experience these problems. This sludge build up can lead to excessive oil consumption.
A creaking type noise may develop from the front suspension when driving over uneven road surfaces. Our technicians recommend inspection of the front sway bar bushings for deterioration and related hardware for correct tightness.

Manipulating Partitions
Manipulating Partitions
Most users that have multiple operating systems eventually choose to delete, resize, or re-arrange the partitions containing the operating systems. This can become an anxiety-producing task especially when it comes to ensuring subsequent bootup capabilities.
Use the (K)Ubuntu Desktop LiveCD
There are several tools that are required to accomplish partition-manipulation tasks, including GParted, KDE Partition Manager from newer versions of the Kubuntu LiveCD, and several Linux commands accomplished from within a Linux command-line terminal. The SystemRescueCD (which has been a preferred tool for many years) has all the required tools (and more), but uses as its operating system Gentoo Linux instead of Ubuntu Linux (so it may be less familiar to many (K)Ubuntu users). The Ubuntu Desktop LiveCD (32-bit regular version, Lucid 10.04LTS or later) can be used instead of SystemRescueCD for most hard disk manipulation tasks, and already has GParted included on it. (Kubuntu LiveCDs, Natty 11.04 or later, have KDE Partition Manager, which works almost identically to GParted.)
- Download and burn onto CD/DVD a copy of the Ubuntu Desktop LiveCD (32-bit regular version, Lucid 10.04LTS or later) or Kubuntu Desktop LiveCD (Natty 11.04 or later).
- Boot into the (K)Ubuntu Desktop LiveCD and start it with the "Try (K)Ubuntu" option (not the "Install" option).
Use GParted to manage partitions
(Note: These instructions can be accomplished in a similar fashion using the KDE Partition Manager from newer versions of the Kubuntu LiveCD as well.)
- Start GParted from the Ubuntu Desktop LiveCD:
- Menu -> System -> Administration -> GParted
- A graphical display of all the partitions on your hard disk will be shown. If you have two hard disks on your system, they generally are referenced as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb (or sometimes /dev/hda and /dev/hdb). GParted works with only one hard disk at a time. To select which hard disk to work with, choose:
- GParted menu -> Devices
- Working with GParted is relatively intuitive. However, it is very easy to irreparably damage your system by undertaking changes without a thorough knowledge of partitions. It is highly recommended to read this article about multiple operating systems for an overview. Specifically heed the warnings about using GParted to change any NTFS partition on which a Windows OS systems resides. Windows has quirks and peculiarities about its OS partition that is better managed with Windows-specific tools. (NTFS partitions that do not have a Windows OS on them, however, can be managed with GParted.)
- It is especially important to recognize that deleting or adding a partition will change the partition numbering scheme (and other partition characteristics) on the hard drive. This is the major consideration in reorganizing your hard drive. Bootloaders find and load operating systems based on their partition location, specified by the partition number on the disk or by a UUID associated with the partition, both of which can change when creating, changing, or deleting partitions.
- GParted only allows changes to partitions that are subsequent to any locked partitions on a hard drive (locked partitions are designated in GParted with a key icon.) For this reason, it is best to have any partitions that are rarely likely to change and/or likely to be locked (e.g. boot partitions, the linux-swap partition, and Windows partitions that won't be manipulated) closer to the beginning of the hard drive and to locate Linux partitions that will be manipulated the most towards the end of the hard drive.
- In general, the least problems occur when a test or temporary partition is the last one on the hard drive. Adding, deleting, or changing the last partition on a hard disk does not affect any of the preceding partitions, so it is the least troublesome. Whenever possible, relegate a temporary or test partition (and its operating system) to be the last partition of the hard drive.
- Write down the details of all the partitions displayed in GParted on some scratch paper, and note any changes that are made by GParted as they are made. In specific, when GParted changes the designation of a partition (from /dev/sda8 to /dev/sda7, for example), note this carefully, as this information becomes critical later in changing bootloader settings.
One linux-swap partition per computer
- Only one linux-swap partition is required for computers that will run only one operating system at a time. (This does not apply to the special case of virtual machines, but virtual machines do not use conventional partitions anyway. Virtual machines are not viewed by a computer as independent operating systems but instead are viewed as applications running within the primary operating system). If already present on a hard drive, the linux-swap partition is used by the Ubuntu LiveCD and therefore locked in GParted. If changes need to be made to the linux-swap partition itself, therefore, use the GParted LiveCD or SystemRescueCD instead of the Ubuntu LiveCD (and run GParted from one of them).
- When installing, updating, re-arranging, or otherwise any Linux operating system, it is not necessary to alter the linux-swap partition in any way. The linux-swap partition is used by all Linux operating systems and is not peculiar to any Linux distribution. There is no need to recreate it, reformat it, nor change it in any way (except perhaps its size, which is ideally 2 Gb).
Creating and "moving" free space
There are two places free space ("unallocated space") can exist: within the extended partition (assuming that one exists) and on the hard disk outside the extended partition. Moving the free space so that it is inside or outside the extended partition is a skill that must be mastered in order to successfully manage partitions.
- When free space exists outside the extended partition, it can be used to create or increase the size of any primary partition or the extended partition itself.
- When free space exists within the extended partition, it can be used to create or increase the size of any logical partition within the extended partition.
In addition, the position of free space determines how it can be used. Free space can only be added to an existing partition if it is next to ("touching") that partition.
Free space can not itself be moved, however. Only partitions can be moved. "Moving free space" really means that partitions themselves must be moved in such a way that the free space "ends up" being in the desired location.
- Free space can only be created by deleting or shrinking an existing partition. This is the critical decision in manipulating partitions. Which partition can be shrunk or deleted safely? (Again, be very careful not to shrink any partition with a Windows OS on it using Gparted.)
Creating or resizing a partition
GParted can create many types of partitions, including ext4, ext3, NTFS, and FAT32, which is the majority of partition types that most users will create. It can resize any of these types of partitions as well. However, resizing an NTFS partition that contains a Windows OS within it may cause problems with the Windows OS itself. (All NTFS and FAT32 partitions should also be defragmented before resizing.)
- The most important decision will be whether a new partition will be a primary partition (to be used for a Windows operating system, for a Windows boot partition, or for a Grub Legacy boot partition), an extended partition (of which there can only be one per hard drive), or a logical partition that resides within a pre-existing extended partition. All Linux partitions can be in logical partitions.
- To create or increase the size of a logical partition within the extended partition, the extended partition itself must already be big enough to accommodate the new logical partition or its new size. To increase the size of the extended partition itself, there must be free space available outside the extended partition and contiguous to it ("touching" it). This requires manipulating the exsting partitions (by moving them and/or shrinking them) until the free space is in the necessary position. Once the free space is contiguous with (and outside) the extended partition, the size of the extended partition can be increased. This will have the effect of moving the free space into the extended partition.
- Once the free space is within the extended partition, it can be used to create or increase the size of a logical partition. To increase the size of a logical partition, the free space must be contiguous to (i.e. "touching") that logical partition by rearranging the positions of the existing logical partitions within the extended partition.
Changing Grub Legacy in a boot partition
When partitions have been moved, added, or deleted, the position and designation of all partitions on a hard drive may change. For example, if the /dev/sda7 partition is deleted, a partition that previously was designated as /dev/sda8 will now become /dev/sda7.
Grub Legacy (sometimes used in a freestanding boot partition) often boots operating systems by referring to the partition (in which the OS is located) by its position on the hard drive. In Grub Legacy, the position /dev/sda7 is referred to as (hd0,6), for example, and /dev/sdb2 is referred to as (hd1,1).
After manipulating partitions on a hard disk, therefore, the main Grub Legacy menu.lst (that resides on the boot partition) needs to be edited. This can be done by starting a command-line terminal from the Ubuntu LiveCD:
- Menu -> Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
Then follow the instructions here.
Changing Grub2 in a changed partition
Note: This section is being edited.
The hardest thing to do is to change Grub or Grub Legacy that exists within a partition that has been changed or moved. If that partition uses Grub2, then the Grub2 bootloader within that partition can be reconstructed using the Ubuntu LiveCD and then stored within that partition once again.
For example, if a (K)Ubuntu operating system (Karmic 9.10 or later) has been moved from /dev/sda8 and now resides at /dev/sda7, Grub2 can be reinstalled on that partition for the (K)Ubuntu operating system there using the Ubuntu LiveCD. Open the command-line terminal from the Ubuntu LiveCD:
- Menu -> Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
and use the command:
sudo grub-install /dev/sda7
Booting (K)Ubuntu manually from Grub Legacy
When a partition has been changed whose operating system contains a Grub2 bootloader, the Grub2 bootloader might no longer function. If, however, a Grub Legacy bootloader has been previously installed in its own boot partition on the system (as is recommended here), the Grub Legacy bootloader can be used to manually boot the operating system. (Once the operating system has been manually booted, Grub2 can then be reconstructed from within the running OS.)
- Reboot the computer without using the Ubuntu LiveCD. When the Grub Legacy menu appears, enter the Grub Legacy command line (using the command c ):
In newer versions of (K)Ubuntu there are symbolic links to the current kernel files, so the following commands can be entered at the grub prompt (the example assumes the OS is in the partition at /dev/sda7):
grub> root (hd0,6) grub> kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda7 ro grub> initrd /initrd.img grub> boot
In newer versions of (K)Ubuntu, the following commands can also be used (if the core.img has not been changed during updates):
grub> root (hd0,6) grub> kernel /boot/grub/core.img grub> boot
- Once the OS has successfully booted, the Grub2 bootloader within it can be reconstructed using the instructions here.
Discovering the current kernel files manually
In older versions of (K)Ubuntu, symbolic links were not included to the current kernel files. For those versions, the kernel files must be discovered and then entered into the Grub Legacy command line manually.
- Discover the current kernel used by the OS. Using the Ubuntu LiveCD, open a command-line Terminal:
- Menu -> Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
If the designation of the partition is currently /dev/sda7, create a mount point for the partition. Use ext4 if the partition uses an ext4 filesystem or ext3 if it uses an ext3 filesystem. If you are unsure about the partition's filesystem type or designation, use GParted from the Ubuntu LiveCD to find out.
sudo mkdir /media/sda7 sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda7 /media/sda7 cd /media/sda7/boot ls
Write down the most recent vmlinuz and initrd files listed there. As an example, the latest files may be vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic and initrd.img-2.6.32-21-generic
- Reboot the system and at the Grub Legacy menu, enter the Grub Legacy command line (using the command c ). then enter the commands at the grub prompt:
grub> root (hd0,6) grub> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic root=/dev/sda7 ro grub> initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-21-generic grub> boot
- Once the operating system has successfully booted, Grub2 can be reconfigured using the instructions here.
Changing Grub Legacy in a changed partition
Generally, only versions of (K)Ubuntu prior to Karmic use Grub Legacy by default. (Only Hardy and Dapper are still supported.) The local Grub Legacy menu.lst of one of these versions must be edited manually, using the instructions here.

The Dubline runs from College Green to Kilmainham. There are 6 discovery zones on The Dubline. These are College Green, The Castle, Christchurch, The Liberties, St James's Gate and Kilmainham each with their own identity, themes, stories and must-see attractions.
Zone 1 College Green is at the heart of Dublin, an architectural arena where President Clinton and Obama addressed the nation. It is home to Trinity College and the famous Book of Kells. It is the perfect place to start your Dubline Adventure.
Zone 2 The Castle is home to Dublin Castle where Queen Elizabeth II delighted diners with her cupla focail (few words) of Irish in 2011 and The Chester Beatty Library described by the Lonely Planet as not just the best museum in Ireland, but one of the best in Europe. You can also enjoy the 'The Story of the Capital' exhibition in City Hall.
Zone 3 At the heart of the Christchurch discovery zone is The Christ Church Cathedral itself. The Cathedral is the spiritual heart of the city, and one of the top visitor attractions in Dublin. Step inside and you can enjoy the cathedral's beautiful interior and fascinating medieval crypt. Just next door connected by a medieval footbridge is Dublinia, the Viking and medieval experience.
Zone 4 The Liberties will give you one of the most memorable experiences on The Dubline especially if you get to meet some of the warm hearted witty Dubliners on the streets. You'll find stallholders hawking their wares, students cooking up future fashions in the National College of Art and Design, globally-renowned musicians playing at Vicar Street, and house party shows at the Tivoli Theatre.
Zone 5 St James's Gate discovery zone is home to the No 1 visitor attraction in Ireland, The Guinness Storehouse. Across the river you will find the National Museum of Ireland – Decorative Arts & History.
Zone 6 Kilmainham Royal Hospital is the architectural highlight of the Kilmainham discovery zone. Today the Royal Hospital is home to the Irish Museum of Modern Art. Nearby Irish soldiers are remembered at The National War Memorial Gardens. A visit to this zone must include a trip to Kilmainham Gaol, one of the largest unoccupied gaols in Europe, covering some of the most heroic and tragic events in Ireland's emergence as a modern nation from 1780s to the 1920s.

Disinvestments in Children Due to Sequestration Affect Child Well-Being
Jan 27, 2014
By Rhiannon Reeves
Recent attention to child care and early education is great news for children and families, but even recent investments aren't sufficient enough to make up for the impact that years of fiscal neglect and high child poverty rates have had on children. According to the 2013 National Child and Youth Well-Being Index (CWI), a report released annually by the Foundation for Child Development, the slow recovery of the Great Recession of 2008-2009 resulted in an overall decrease in the economic well-being of families with children under the age of 18, with all previous gains made since 1975 having been lost. And while this year's federal investments in child care and early education may help ameliorate some of the effects of the economic downturn, they cannot turn back the clock for children and families who lost income and benefits over that period of time.
Research shows that making investments in health, nutrition, income support and education programs enables children to flourish and increases parent employment and earnings while minimizing the potential for low-income children to sink further into poverty. But the very programs that provide these boosts to families have been reduced over recent years, and some continue to feel the impacts of last year's federal budget sequestration. While the CWI shows data on all children under the age of 18, the important growth occurring during the early years makes young children even more vulnerable to the negative outcomes resulting from the sequestration's 16% decrease in federal spending across child-serving programs over the past three years.
The CWI provides policymakers with an opportunity to identify areas where they can make tangible differences in the lives of children. Recent investments in child care and early education may help turn around some important areas of the CWI, such as the Pre-Kindergarten Enrollment Rate of its Community Engagement domain, which has shown no growth over the past three years. Policymakers should also take steps to restore investments in health services, and the multitude of resources that would reduce child poverty on a whole. Supporting state and federal policies directed at improving child well-being could change the current course for children and families; reducing child poverty and helping families get and stay on track to economic stability.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- A downtown development project in northeast Ohio has landed nearly $8 million in foundation help.
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation recently announced the financial assistance for the University Park Alliance group that is working to develop the neighborhood near the University of Akron.
The foundation will provide a $6 million grant over five years to get neighbors, businesses and city institutions involved in the planning. It will also provide a $1.8 million low-interest loan.
The funding will help a project envisioned to include $60 million to $70 million in retail, housing and office space.
According to the Akron Beacon Journal (bit.ly/URBQ6w), the Miami-based Knight Foundation invests in communities where the Knight brothers owned newspapers such as Akron.

It was a mother of a weekend for the Galaxy and Chivas USA.
The Southern California rivals both conceded three goals en route to road losses over the Mother's Day weekend to a pair of MLS teams playing just their third MLS seasons. | 100% SOCCER BLOG
The twin losses saw the Vancouver Whitecaps defeat the Galaxy 3-1 Saturday and the Portland Timbers down Chivas USA 3-0 Sunday.
The results mean the Galaxy has now lost two MLS games in succession for the first time this season, while Chivas USA (3-5-2) are winless in six games and after reaching the giddy heights of second in the Western Conference earlier in the season are now rock bottom once more.
The 4-3-2 Galaxy will seek to stop the bloodletting against the 4-3-3 Union in Philadelphia Wednesday (live at 4:30 p.m. on Time Warner Cable) and the 6-4-3 Eastern Conference leading Red Bulls in New York Sunday (live at 10 a.m. on ESPN2) before returning home.
Chivas USA, meanwhile, face 5-5-2 Real Salt Lake in Carson Saturday, almost a month to the day after the Goats lost 1-0 in Utah.
But it was the manner of the losses for the two local MLS rivals that suggest both face very different headwinds with about a third of the season gone.
Had Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez scored the game's opening goal from a wide-open header with just after an hour gone, the complexity of the contest could have been very different. Instead the Whitecaps capitalized on defensive lapses to score two late goals, snapping a seven-game winless streak and securing the club's first-ever win over the Galaxy.
In contrast, Chivas USA never looked like remotely close to scoring for a second consecutive game and have now conceded seven without reply in two games.
The defending MLS champion Galaxy have proved they can overcome defensive problems in the past.
Chivas USA have no track record of overcoming adversity and seem increasingly like a franchise in its death throes on and off the field.
On it, Chivas USA are all misdirected energy without tactical awareness. Off it, Chivas USA are the lowest drawing team in MLS by far, having failed to attract a crowd over 9,000 all season.
They are a team not even a mother could love.
Goats going, going...
Last week a report surfaced that MLS had assumed control of flailing Chivas USA for failing to fulfill league requirements that include not having a local television contract to air games.
MLS quickly denied the story.
Still, it seems that such an eventuality - or something similar - is only a matter of time for a franchise rapidly becoming one of the worst marketing disasters in American sports.
Who would have thought Mexican owners could blow the marketing of a Mexican branded futbol club in the nation's top Latino market?
Given that backdrop no alternative seems weird by comparison.
Will David Beckham exercise his option to buy an MLS club by investing, rebranding and moving Chivas USA?
Could a rebranded club move to Orlando or another city making overtures to MLS?
Or will Jorge Vergara sell both Chivas USA and its mothership to the likes of billionaire Carlos Slim, the world's richest man, who reportedly wants to use the nationally famous Guadalajara club as the cornerstone of a new Mexican TV channel?
Whatever happens, time is running out for a club MLS Commissioner Don Garber publicly said he expected to see improve attendance and marketing by July - or else.
Manchester City fired coach Roberto Mancini Monday, a year after winning the club's first EPL title in 44 years. The club lost the FA Cup final Saturday 1-0 to underdog Wigan Athletic to finish the season without a trophy.

Taylorsville • Mayor Jerry Rechtenbach said Wednesday that public safety, economic development and neighborhood revitalization are his top priorities for the west-side community.
"We must focus on public safety because that is the key obligation of government," Rechtenbach said in a State of the City address. "Once we are satisfied that we have done that properly, then we must focus on economic development as a means of preserving quality of life in the city and stabilizing our base."
And because businesses like to locate in well-kept areas, the city has put together a team to revitalize neighborhoods, he said.
The Taylorsville City Council selected Rechtenbach last month to serve the remainder of Mayor Russ Wall's term through the end of the year. Wall resigned to take a job as Salt Lake County's director of public works and regional development.
Rechtenbach was a City Council member for nine years before his appointment as mayor. He wants to make sure police have more of a presence in the city's nine elementary schools to promote values, accountability, anti-bullying and self-esteem. He also wants to organize neighborhood community councils, develop site plans to bring new tenants to commercial centers and improve websites so most city business, such as entering a plea in justice court, can be done from home.
The mayor said Taylorsville is in good shape fiscally and that revenue from sales tax has been trending upward, at approximately 5.5 percent a quarter, for five consecutive quarters.
"The city of Taylorsville has made significant strides in recent years and months," Rechtenbach said. "I firmly believe that working together as a team, with our citizens and businesses as partners, the best is yet to come."

Dear list,
I am tryng to build a custom m0n0wall img starting from the custom img
provided by Peter Allgeyer (http://www.protec-t.
I am tryng to add ssh access using the m0n0-instmodules utility.
The script succesfully create the image but no a bootable one.
I edit m0n0-instmodules to see how the new image is created.
The script first create the new mfsroot with all the stuff from the
module(s) installed and keeps the kernel of the original image.
Then it puts all these things in the $imageCopy directory.
At this point the script begins to create the new image:
# Create the file system.
system "dd if=/dev/zero of=$imageBin bs=1k
$node = mapFile($imageBin, 1);
#system "disklabel -BR -b $bootDir/boot1 -s $bootDir/boot2
$node $label"; <--- I've put a comment since on freebsd 5.x disklabel
has different options
system "disklabel -BR $node $label";
system "newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/${node}c";
system "mount /dev/${node}c $mnt";
system "cd $imageCopy; find . -print | cpio -pdmu --quiet
system "gzip -c -9 $imageBin > $tgtIso";
Finally the new image is ready.
But when I boot the system I get:
can't load 'kernel'
can't load 'kernel.old'
I've tried to take all the steps manually but I got the same results.
I guess this is a freebsd issue (not m0n0wall) but I cannot get
througth this.
Any idea ?

CONCORD, CA – Intravenous pump alarms and conversations between nurses are essential to hospital patient care, but they are also highly likely to keep patients from getting a good night's sleep, according to a newly released, landmark study from The Center for Health Design (CHD).
"Evidence-Based Design Meets Evidence-Based Medicine: The Sound Sleep Study" is the first study to identify decibel (dB) levels at which 14 typical hospital sounds are too loud for undisturbed sleep. The study's results and recommendations are expected to drive innovation in design, construction, materials, equipment and care protocols to improve acoustics in health care environments, positively impacting medical outcomes and increasing safety.
The sound-sleep study was conducted by two Harvard researchers in Massachusetts General Hospital's sleep laboratory. While participants slept, researchers played recordings of 14 different noises typically heard in a medical-surgical unit. Arousal information confirmed that at levels commonly experienced by patients, the selected hospital sounds significantly disrupted sleep.
For example, at the lowest sound level tested, 40 dB, intravenous alarm and phone signals aroused 88 percent to 94 percent of subjects; human voices aroused 70 percent to 75 percent of subjects; and the sounds of an automatic towel dispenser, ice dispenser, door closing and toilet flushing aroused 35 percent to 73 percent of subjects.
Improving the Acoustic Environment
National surveys of hospital patients have shown that room noise levels received ratings that were worse than other quality of care indicators. Similarly, disrupted and/or limited sleep has been demonstrated to have adverse impacts on several important health measures and outcomes including blood pressure, weight gain, heart disease, pain, stress levels, and inflammation.
Getting a good night's sleep contributes to higher patient satisfaction and aids in recovery, resulting in improved medical outcomes, shorter hospital stays and reduced costs.
The new sound-sleep study contributes to the growing effort of improving environments of care and related health outcomes. It contributes scientific evidence validating the provision of minimum acoustic standards recently established in the 2010 edition of the Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities.
Sponsored by CHD through its Research Coalition, the Facilities Guidelines Institute, and the Academy of Architecture for Health Foundation, the study's principal investigators included Jo Solet, Ph.D., Orfeu Buxton, Ph.D., and Jeffrey Ellenbogen, MD, all from the Harvard Medical School, Division of Sleep Medicine.
"The new sleep-sound study provides valuable knowledge to the growing field of evidence-based design," says Debra Levin, president and chief executive officer, CHD. "The report is a valuable tool for designers who are working to improve the quality of health care environments. We look forward to seeing the findings of this study utilized in the field."
"This is one the most exciting studies looking at the impact of hospital sounds on patient well-being," adds Paul Barach, co-chair of CHD's Research Coalition. "This is an important and new frontier that promises to enrich our understanding of how external factors, including the sounds and vibrations in health care facilities, can improve the quality of care that health care delivers."
"Evidence-Based Design Meets Evidence-Based Medicine: The Sound Sleep Study" is available by free download from CHD's online store, http://store.healthdesign.org, under White Papers & Reports.
The Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities is available from the Facility Guidelines Institute at www.fgiguidelines.org/2010guidelines.html.
About The Center for Health Design
The Center for Health Design (CHD) formed in 1993, is a nonprofit research, education and advocacy organization of forward-thinking health care, elder care, design and construction professionals and product manufacturers who are leading the quest to improve the quality of health care facilities and create new environments for healthy aging. The CHD Research Coalition promotes the dissemination of research that contributes to therapeutic, safe, efficient and effective health care settings. The group also strives to support projects that fill critical gaps in the field of evidence-based design (EBD) while growing the network of researchers engaged in EBD by rewarding funds to select EBD research projects.

Los Angeles County residents voted Tuesday to require the use of condoms in pornographic films.
Measure B, which was OK'd by more than 55 percent of voters, also will require the county Department of Public Health to lead inspections and enforcement efforts.
Public health advocates said the measure promotes public health and the safety of actors.
Opponents, including those who work in the industry, said it could chase jobs and millions of dollars out of the San Fernando Valley, famed as the nation's porn capital.
That's because customers don't like films with condoms, they said.
Condom use on porn sets already is required under state and city laws. But those are rarely enforced, with state prosecutions based only on complaints.
The prospect of a more active government role worried some in the porn industry.
"The idea of allowing a government employee to come and examine our genitalia while we're on set is atrocious," Amber Lynn, a longtime adult film actress, said at an anti-Measure B rally Sunday in North Hollywood.
She and other actors defended the porn industry's voluntary guidelines, under which actors are tested at least monthly for HIV, gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Opponents also called the measure a restriction on free expression.
The Valley Industry and Commerce Association, along with more than a dozen other chambers of commerce, opposed measure B. So did the Canoga Park-based Free Speech Coalition, which represents the adult-film industry.
The measure's primary supporter was Michael Weinstein, executive director of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which reported spending more than $1.6 million on the effort, according to October figures released by the county registrar.
"If it passes, it's going to reduce the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases in our community at no cost to taxpayers," Weinstein said last month.
On the other side, the No on Government Waste campaign had raised almost $120,000 as of the end of September.
Opponents mocked the idea of government inspectors standing on porn sets and said taxpayers likely will end up footing the bill for them, despite the promises.
Measure B requires producers to undergo training on blood-borne pathogens and submit an "exposure control plan," then pay for a public health permit.
Permit fees will be used to pay for enforcement.
Violators could face civil fines and criminal charges, and the Department of Public Health will be able to revoke the public health permits if it finds violations or a risk to public safety.

Samsung UN46D6000 Review: $1000 Set Has Great Features, Middling Video
Generic Company Place Holder UN46D6000 46-Inch LED HDTVTechHive Rating
On paper, or on a website, the Samsung UN46D6000 looks like an all-around excellent HDTV, especially for a street price of around $1000 (as of 5/5/2012). While the UN46D6000 refreshes the screen at a rate of 120Hz, Samsung claims that the HDTV's "Clear Motion Rate" technology simulates the smoother motion you might see on a 240Hz set (more on that later). The set's sleek, easy-to-navigate Smart Hub feature provides access to your home network and the Internet. You can even control the set from your iPhone or Android device.
But you can't judge a television by its cover--or its stats. You can judge one by looking at the image quality, and here the UN46D6000 disappointed--especially in tests involving complex motion.
Lab Tests: Picture and Sound Quality
In the PCWorld Labs' subjective tests for image quality, all four judges noted motion problems in our Mission Impossible III and The Dark Knight tests. When the camera panned over a brick wall in Mission Impossible (chapter 7), judges disagreed on whether the visible distortion was trivial ("minor motion problems") or serious ("wall doing the wave"). But everyone agreed that when the camera approached a skyscraper in a helicopter shot from The Dark Knight (chapter 9), it looked like a disaster. The building vibrated badly, with bits of it going briefly black. It looked like it was having trouble beaming down from the USS Enterprise.
Fortunately (and illogically), these problems are fixable by disabling the UN46D6000's "Clear Motion Rate" feature. Samsung says "Clear Motion Rate" technology uses a combination of the set's refresh rate, response time, image-processing speeds, and LED backlighting to improve fast-moving images. With this "feature" turned off, the Dark Knight scene looked fine. PCWorld's policy is to test HDTV image quality with this and similar features left on their default setting, so my discovery did not improve the set's overall performance score.
With "Clear Motion Rate" turned on, the UN46D6000 performed reasonably well with less-lively video. Judges complained about minor skin-tone issues, contrast, and saturation. No one in our panel of judges was blown away by great-looking images, but no one was horrified, either.
Unfortunately, the set's built-in speakers didn't sound very good. With the volume cranked all the way up, distortion was horrible. On the other hand, the cranked-up volume was also way too loud, so you probably would never play it at that level anyway. At 60 percent of volume--a loud but reasonable setting for watching a movie at home--the distortion was still noticeable. Stereo separation in the front tracks was very good, but the set's faux-surround-sound feature was only moderately effective.
That said, the built-in speakers of even the best HDTVs can't recreate today's movie soundtracks. If you really care about audio, you'll need to invest in a separate home theater sound system.
Inputs, Basic Setup, and On-Screen Menus
Most of the inputs (including all four HDMI ports) are mounted on the side of the television, where they can be easily accessed. Unfortunately, the VGA, ethernet, and coaxial connectors are on the back and, even worse, face down. Depending on where you place your HDTV, you may need to be a contortionist to access them.
When you first turn on the UN46D6000, a wizard walks you through the initial setup. Its clear explanations help, for the most part, but not always. For instance, when you tell it to look for digital cable stations, it asks you to pick between STD, HRC, and IRC, with no on-screen explanation. You'd have to check the manual to discover that "Most cable systems use STD." Once you've set up the UN46D6000, you can launch the colorful, attractive, and--most important--helpful main menu to change settings. Every option is explained, sometimes with graphics.
A Tools button on the remote control brings up a mini-menu of options you may frequently want to set. The remote is large and somewhat boxy, but felt fine to my hand. The buttons are large and well-placed, with the ones you're mostly likely to use in easy thumb locations. Press the key in the upper-right corner, and all the other keys light up. But you can't program the remote.
If you have an iOS or an Android device, and it can access the same home network as the HDTV (more about networking below), you can control the UN46D6000 via the Samsung Remote app. But once you get past the "Oh, wow!" factor, a remote control phone app has only one advantage over a real remote control: text entry. The Samsung app will bring up your phone's keyboard for some of the UN46D6000's text screens, but not all of them. For instance, you can use it to log into the TV's Social app, but not to search for a movie in Netflix.
Internet-Connected TV, Mobile Sharing, and Documentation
Press the remote's Hub button, and you'll be taken to Samsung's "Smart Hub," a screen that gives you access to various entertainment sources coming to you via the Internet, your home network, or the television's USB port. The UN46D6000 doesn't come with built-in Wi-Fi; for network and Internet capabilities, you'll have to either plug in an ethernet cable or buy a separately sold wireless adapter.
Once you're connected to the Internet, the UN46D6000 brings you common streaming options such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, and Pandora. The aforementioned Social TV gives you Facebook and Twitter access, although you have to sign in via a separate Samsung account (which is free).
But one enticing, Internet-based Smart Hub feature disappoints: search. In theory, you can search for a movie or TV show, and find out where you can watch it among your various streaming services. But it doesn't support two popular services that would likely bring up a lot of search results on Smart Hub: Netflix and Hulu Plus.
The network connection that brings the Internet to your TV can also bring content from your computer. If your PC is running DLNA server software, such as Windows Media Player, it can send videos, photos, and music to the UN46D6000. If the computer and server software are up and running, you can control everything else from the TV.
A new feature that you'll find in the Smart Hub, SwipeIt, allows you to view videos and photos that reside on your Android or iOS device. You'll need to install the SwipeIt app on your phone or tablet to do this, and as with the remote control app, the device must be connected to your home network via Wi-Fi. I found this feature reasonably easy to set up, but bringing a photo up on my phone didn't display it on the TV. The trick, implied by the feature's name but not really intuitive, is to swipe upward on your phone's or tablet's screen to send the image or video to the UN46D6000.
Of course, you can also simply copy your music, photos, and videos to a flash drive and plug that into the UN46D6000. This TV has an exceptional slideshow feature, with six transition effects, background music (with a shuffle option), and other settings. It supports a reasonably large selection of video formats (five of the seven I tested), but audio-file support is limited to .mp3. You'll find the list of video formats on page 219 of the large online manual.
Which brings us to documentation. The UN46D6000 comes with a thin, 24-page manual that doubles as a quick setup guide. It's well designed and gets you through the basics, but that's about it. You won't find the real details here. Fortunately, there's more documentation; it's just not on paper. Press the remote's E-Manual button, and you'll get a clear, menu-based help environment where you can probably find the information you need. The Try Now on-screen button will take you from the E-Manual to the right location in the television's menu to do what you've been reading about.
And if that doesn't do it for you, there's the massive, 303-page full manual that you can download as a .PDF from Samsung's site (click "See All Downloads" under the Downloads header on the linked page).
Bottom Line
The Samsung UN46D6000 has a lot of cool extras, including connected features, mobile apps, and slick menus for a very reasonable $1000 price. Motion handling is a weak spot, but some of the issues we encountered can be remedied by turning off the "Clear Motion Rate" feature. If it looked and sounded better, it would be a great TV. As it stands, it's still a pretty good deal for the price.

Generic Company Place Holder UN46D6000 46-Inch LED HDTVTechHive Rating
The Samsung UN46D6000 has almost all the right extras for a network- and Internet-savvy HDTV--especially one that costs only about $1000. However, image and sound quality disappoint.

The rivalry between the Yakuza and the Colombian Cartel is ongoing feud starting from the production of the Cartel-created drug SPANK: The sale of Spank attracted the Yardies attention, allying themselves with the Cartel, interrupting Kenji Kasen's interest in the city. He sends Claude to ruin the meeting between the the Cartel and the Yardies at the Hospital parking lot in Rockford. All goes bad, the two have formed an alliance and now the Yardies are pushing the drug on the street of Staunton Island. Angered by this action, Kenji sends Claude to kill the Yardie pushers on the streets.
Real estate owner Donald Love takes advantage of the feud between the Yakuza and the Cartel to drop sales in real estate. Love sends Claude to steal a Cartel Cruiser to disguise as a Cartel member and kill Kenji Kasen on the parking lot roof in Newport. This action causes Kenjis sister Asuka to make an open attack at Fort Staunton, taking full control of the construction site.
Cartel Leader Miguel was blamed for the death of Kenji and was tortured by Asuka to reveal the Cartel's plots to sell Spank across Liberty City. Asuka sends Claude to destroy the Cartel's operations by destroyed SPANK stands instead Coffee stands vendors around Liberty City, killing Cartel assassins to kill Claude, and to collect packages of Spank in a plane making it's last flight to Francis International Airport. The Cartel soon return to the construction site to kill Miguel and Asuka.
After the game storyline is finished, the Yakuza and the Cartel still dividing their territories and Fort Staunton, resulting in gun shots every minute the player cross the neighborhood.
