I don't think this was intentional. There was a web redesign that happened around mid-2008. In the old web site, the bug tracker could be found in the "support" section: http://web.archive.org/web/20070430012638/http://www.plt-scheme.org/support.html Unfortunately, I can't remember the discussion on the web site redesign from back then. Someone did say that the bug tracker was difficult to find after the redesign in July 2008: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users/archive/2008-July/025820.html So maybe it's worthwhile to revise the Community page with a link to the bug tracker?

I know this has been discussed before, however I cant seem to get this
device to show in a dmesg, not sure if the soekris doesn't see it (maybe
not plugged in properly) or if the driver isn't included.
I have the http://www.netgate.com/5354AriesMP.html card which is A B G
card, all I want to use for now is the B. The page says it's supported
by BSD, but then also says its not compatiable with m0n0wall BSD 5? What
do they mean by this? Is there a m0n0bsd image that is fbsd 5 which
these cards will work in?
The machines only need ssh & zebra and need the driver for the cards.
Any ideas?

10 Signs He Might Be A Moodle
Is your new flavor of the week extremely good-looking, complementary at the bar, always well-dressed and open about his emotions? He might seem perfect, but maybe he is just a moodle, a man-poodle. Here's a little explanation of the man-poodle from Urban Dictionary: "Women like to walk the moodle, feed the moodle, play with the moodle, but they never do the moodle." After the jump, find out the 10 signs your new guy might be a moodle!
- He's Mr. Fashion: There is a big difference between a sharp dresser and a man wearing an outfit he clearly bought straight off the mannequin at American Apparel. I appreciate when a man is nicely dressed and well put-together, but when he's wearing more labels than I am, he might be a moodle.
- He doesn't get laid: Sure, you may not have slipped in between the sheets with him yet, but in today's world, it surely is not hard to know someone who already has. Realistically, you meet someone and the first thing you do is Facebook him. After checking your mutual friends, you get the dirt. If he's known to be difficult to get in the sack or you're now on your 15th date and you still haven't gone home with him, then sound the moodle alarm.
- His wingman is a girl: While we women have wing-women, normally a man has a wingman. If your man shows up to the hot bar you go to on Saturdays with a girlfriend on his arm and not one guy friend in sight, he might be a moodle.
- He's more emotional than you are: If a guy talks about his emotions like you do the week before your period, chances are he is a moodle. A moodle is extremely emotional, talks about his feelings all the time, cries easily, and needs a lot of affection from his female friends when he claims to be upset over a girl he likes.
- He carries a murse: It's simple, ladies, if he's carrying a man-purse, run.
- He's always down for a shopping spree: Sure, it's possible to have a male shopping buddy, but when he gets mad at you for not calling him before the annual sale at Bloomingdale's, he might be a moodle.
- Your friends think he's gay: Moodles are not gay; they are simply men who make better companions than sexual partners. If your man fits the moodle criteria, then try explaining the term to your friends.
- He loves to buy women drinks: A moodle is always at the bar with an open tab buying shots for all the hot girls. The more women he has around him, the more guys think he's a stud. The more attention he gets from everyone, the happier the moodle is.
- Being naked around him doesn't phase him: Either he's just not that into you, or he's not into women and he just walks around with you because you look good on his arm. Let's be honest, part of the reason you take him everywhere is because he's so damn cute, not because you sleep with him.
- You two have absolutely no sexual chemistry: While he may be extremely good-looking with an even better personality, if your guy exhibits all the above behavior and there's no sexual chemistry between the two of you, he's a moodle. End of story!

I have worked with John on many occasions. I would (and have) recommended him to several of my clients. Not only is he very personable, his knowledge of the issues facing the construction industry is second to none.
Posted by anonymous
John is very knowledgeable and responsive. He has assisted our firm through a number of construction contracts and provides excellent advice.
Posted by Ron
Mr. Parnass worked with me on a significant litigation involving claims made against a public agency by a large multinational construction firm. He went toe to toe with an aggressive set of lawyers for the contractor, and found ways to 'cut to the heart of the matter' in a manner than maximized efficiency of cost and meaningful discovery.
Smart lawyer, confident presenter, with a "hands-on" work ethic and an enjoyable personality.
Posted by Larry
We are a 55 year-old commercial/industrial general contractor headquartered in the Pacific Northwest with licenses in 35 states and annual revenues of approximately $300 million. John has provided construction related legal services to our company for over 20 years and our assessment of his overall performance would be excellent. We have found John to be committed, knowledgeable and intently focused on protecting the long-term best interests of our company. The end result of those issues on which we have had John assist us have consistently been as good as we could have asked for given the circumstances involved, and often even better. We highly recommend John as legal counsel on any construction relater matter.
Posted by anonymous
We are a public utility district and we use John and his firm primarily for construction related issues. John provides general counsel, such as review of standard documents and forms, and participates as a member of our design team for more complex projects. In particular, during the past few years (2009 - 2011), he has provided extensive help with our trenchless utility construction projects, from geotechnical baseline and bidding document preparation and review, through bidding, contract award and construction.
John is thorough, knowledgeable and responsive. He is also open - he will tell you what is on his mind - and he is willing to seek help from colleagues if he is not well-versed in a particular subject.
Posted by Tracy
John is very knowlegable in matters of Construction Law. His ability to come up with a reasonable cost effective solution is very good. I have found him to be very effective and reasonable with his time and billing. He has been very effective on the preventitive side a well as the disputed issues. He is well know through the construction industry and that allows him to solve matters through his network rapidly. I would highly suggest John for any constrution related issue. I'm happy to say I not only refer to John as my Attorney I consider him a friend as well.

SLTF Consulting
Technology with Business Sense
Scott Rosenthal
February, 1998
One thing I've found over the years is that if you design embedded systems for your
boss, there's a good chance you might also do it evenings and weekends for a Schedule C
business. (For those not familiar with the term, Schedule C attaches to the Form 1040 to
pay taxes on a sole proprietorship.) Additionally, many embedded designers itch to chuck
their current job and start a business designing systems for others. Instead of focusing
on all the money you think you're going to make, though, let's look at some of the
realities. What does it take to really do it? What are the pitfalls? What are the rewards?
I've been in the trenches developing embedded systems for the past 17 yrs. Over that
time, I've made many mistakes, ignored great advice from advisors because I thought I knew
better and designed some really awful things. However, I've also helped companies create
wealth through product sales, provided employment for hundreds of people (including those
at my own company) and, proudly, I can point to some real improvements in this world
because of my work. In this column, I will summarize what I've found that works and
doesn't work in design consulting.
Back in 1980, with three processors, a few hundred thousand lines of assembly code and
about a dozen products on the market under my belt, I thought I knew everything about
embedded systems. A friend with even more experience and I decided to make this expertise
available to the world. We rented an old warehouse, built the office walls and opened for
business-but nobody came. We starved. It took five months to get our first contract and
ten months to get our first paycheck. After two years of losing money, we shut the place
Looking back, the lesson is obvious: it takes more than good technical skill to create
a business. It involves things engineers typically rebel against-marketing, sales and the
customer. So, if the world of consulting or growing a design business appeals to you, read
So, you've decided to go off and consult. The technical side is a given. On the
business end, you've studied guerrilla marketing techniques and your spouse will do the
books with Quicken, leaving you free to do what you do best: design. Guess what-you'll
probably fail miserably. Three main ingredients, ranked in order of importance, offer the
key to a successful consulting career in the embedded field: product, customer and you. If
you lose sight of these three, you'll fail.
Ultimately, all anybody really cares about is the first ingredient-the product. It must
sell. If it does and is profitable, your customer gets money to pay you to develop more
products. If it doesn't sell, you'll need to find another customer. It's that simple.
Stepping back from the engineer's mindset, remember that any one of the following never
is the product itself:
The trade press typically ignores this list. How many times have we seen ads or feature
articles describing a new FPGA, microprocessor or ASIC that touts that it's all you'll
need to design a product? Or that it'll only cost X dollars to purchase this new gadget,
giving the false impression that you can build an entire product for this amount.
Besides considering an entire product rather than just a piece of it, when contracting
to design an embedded system you must throw all those design prejudices out the window.
Just because you've always done it a certain way doesn't mean that it's right for the
current project. And before starting to design the system, be aware of some less technical
items about the final product. If the customer isn't willing to share this information,
move on to another one. Why hitch a ride on a sinking ship?
Consider the following information before designing anything:
As you can see, this list focuses on the product and not on the client or you.
On to the second ingredient, the customer, some are great, while others are simply
ordinary. Just as you must do a great job at your assigned tasks, a great customer knows
his role in the development process. He understands that he's hired you because you're the
expert, while an ordinary customer looks at you as a necessary evil, something to be
micromanaged, nothing but a technician to carry out his whims. Obviously these viewpoints
are extreme, but anyone who's done consulting can probably relate to them.
What works best is when a customer comes to me with the what, that is, what the product
must do, and not how to carry out my work. A long time ago I worked in a gas station where
we also repaired cars (and gas was 35¢ a gallon). For repair work, we made more money off
the man who told us how to fix the car (wrong 90% of the time) compared to the woman who
just described the problem. The same thing applies to embedded design. I can think of only
a few reasons why a customer looks for an outside person or group to help with an embedded
system: either he's overloaded with other work or hasn't yet developed the technology
Notice that your skill set isn't on the list? A great customer spells out the issues
and the constraints, then he steps back so that you can develop the how for solving the
problem. Obviously, your solution must meet the needs of the product and its end user.
With that aspect in mind, you're able to apply your experiences and create a terrific
Unfortunately, an ordinary customer places constraints on you that can seriously hamper
the design. In the end, the product might not achieve its intended goal, be difficult to
use or produce and might not be maintainable. I've been party to these problems, and it's
a no-win situation for everyone. After-the-fact finger pointing won't fix any problems.
The correct solution is to either walk away from this situation before starting the
project or try and educate the customer as to the benefits of changing into a great
customer. My next column will continue the discussion of the customer and then switch to
the third ingredient, your role as an embedded-system consultant. PE&IN

Betty is tormented between choosing to accept Wilhelmina's offer or to stay loyal to Daniel.
The second episode to ABC's "Ugly Betty" season three has been given a sneak peek. Next week on Thursday, October 2, Betty will be in dilemma whether to stay loyal to Daniel or to accept the luring offer proposed by Wilhelmina in "Filing for the Enemy".
Now that she gets her hands on Mode, Wilhelmina is trying to lure Betty to the dark side by asking her to be an assistant. Marc is horrified on the idea of having Betty bossing him around and Betty gets a vision on how she will turn out when she accepts the job. Daniel is still struggling to keep the custody of his son, Daniel Jr., while Christina is growing suspicious of her husband Stuart. Elsewhere, Hilda's romance to her son's coach, Diaz heats up.
The new season of "Ugly Betty" kicked off on Thursday, September 25 with Betty starting a new life, staying in her own apartment after tormented for months between choosing Henry or Gio. There's a scoop that Betty will get a new love interest upon moving in, which is most likely to be her new neighbor, Jesse.
On other news, ABC.com has launched a series of webisodes on "Ugly Betty" with the first one entitled "Mode After Hours". Starring Marc and Amanda, the first of six webisodes sees both of the Mode employees messing around with Betty's stuff. The remaining webisodes will be posted on the site every Thursday morning, ranging between three to five minutes in length. There will also be a behind-the-scene outtakes including the making of "Mode After Hours".

Virtual Hot Rods

About the Book
There's nothing new about 3D cars. You see them all the time in movies and television commercials. The fun 3D cars like the animated cars in PIXAR's "CARS" movie are pretty easy to spot. But some of the 3D cars found in live action movies may be harder to spot. That car barrel rolling over the top of the heroin's head in the big chase scene is probably a 3D car blended into the live action shot. Now my cars may not be done on the same level of the big movie studios (I'm using an ancient version of Lightwave 3D to create my cars), but I think they're still pretty good. I'm one of the few 3D artists on the net that is doing full engine, suspension, and interior details. The car you see driving across the rollercoaster highway, through the skyscrapers in the latest tire commercial, only has exterior details (and maybe minor interior detail). But for me, it's all about the detail, and creating car out of my head.
These cars were all created on my ancient PC using Lightwave 3D (LW) and PhotoShop CS. The LW program "builds" the cars from scratch. I'll put a side (and rear) photo of the car into the background. Then using the program I'll create the shape using thousands of tiny polygons. That statement really over simplifies it, but I would have to write a whole book on the step-by-step construction of a 3D car! Once you have the shape, you "name" the surface, and apply a texture to that surface. There are some "pre-set" surfaces in the program, but most of the surfaces use photographs to create the detail. Elsewhere in this book you'll find my brother-in-law's black Mustang I recreated in 3D along with close up photos of the car that I used to create the "textures" on the 3D model. Notice how much more realistic the headlights or the dashboard details are when we use photos of the real car.
Close to a 100 full color renderings are showcased here!

Can You Hear It? - Poem by Travis Johnson
If you could hear my heart beat
I wouldn't have to say a word
It would tell you my life story
From noun to noun and verb to verb
It would tell you my good times
When it seemed I had wings like a bird
And tell my bad times
When I hit the bottom landed in the dirt
From time like when I thought
She was the one
And back in '06 when I was like
Man, look what I've done
Even stories so sad
Like when she left me in the rain
And had broke-up problems so bad
If you heard it you would cry and feel my pain
That's why I need a girl
That I can keep all to myself
And I can tell her my deepest secrets
I've never told anyone else

In the cities of Free China last week could be seen a time-honored sight: groups of poor young men being marched through the streets, each tied to the one in front of him by ropes around the neck. These were not criminals. They were simply draftees, being subjected to the traditional insurance against their never reaching camp.
There was good reason why the crop of conscripts was being reaped. The Japanese neighbor, waving a sword in one hand and a pact with Russia in the other, was bearing down.

In rural Kenya, where qualified pharmacists are rare, many people buy medicines from general shops to treat themselves at home. Often they receive incorrect medication or doses. Would the training of shopkeepers, who help treat the majority of children with fevers, be cost-effective in improving malaria treatment in young children?
At a summit in Abuja in 2000, African leaders agreed that by 2005 at least 60 percent of people ill with malaria in sub-Saharan Africa should be able to access affordable treatment within 24 hours of developing the symptoms. Yet research in 28 African countries showed that on average, only 42 percent of children under five years old were given anti-malarial treatment for a fever, and many of them received incorrect doses. As up to 60 percent of childhood fevers are treated with medicine bought from general retailers, shopkeepers could play a significant role in improving the treatment of malaria in young children.
Research by the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI)-Wellcome Trust Collaborative Research Programme and Kenya's Ministry of Health assessed the cost and cost-effectiveness of a recent programme that involved training shopkeepers and community mobilisation for treating childhood fevers in the rural Kilifi District in Kenya. The programme offered workshops for shopkeepers on appropriate treatment for malaria in young children and also ran community information activities, with impact maintained through refresher training and monitoring.
The evaluation assessed the programme's cost-effectiveness during the early phase of implementation at sub-division level, and estimated the cost-effectiveness for government run district level implementation. A simple model was used to predict the cost per death and per disability adjusted life year (DALY) averted.
The study found the following:
The study indicated that the shopkeeper training programme is likely to be highly cost-effective if an effective anti-malarial is used, when compared with standards for similar interventions in low-income countries. It suggested four key policy lessons:

Captain Henry H. Bingham
In a letter to Union Major General Winfield Scott Hancock. "I met Armistead just under the crest of the hill, being carried to the rear by several privates. I ordered them back, but they replied that they had an important prisoner and they designated him as General Longstreet... I dismounted my horse and inquired of the prisoner his name he replied General Armistead of the Confederate Army. Observing that his suffering was very great I said to him, General, I am Captain Bingham of General Hancock's staff, and if you have anything valuable in your possession which you desire taken care of, I will take care of it for you. He then asked me if it was General Winfield S. Hancock and upon my replying in the affirmative, he informed me that you were an old an valued friend of his and he desired for me to say to you, "Tell General Hancock for me that I have done him and done you all an injury which I shall regret or repent (I forget the exact word) the longest day I live." I then obtained his spurs, watch chain, seal and pocketbook. I told the men to take him to the rear to one of the hospitals."

Analyzing Obama's NCAA Picks
Dan Shanoff at The Wall Street Journal's Daily Fix sports blog offers some analysis on President Barack Obama's NCAA bracket. The president picked North Carolina to win the national championship.
But, throughout his bracket, would the president follow a bracket-picking style of pragmatism — or would he reach for the "audacity of upsets?" And how would he compare with the rest of the nation (using the "National Bracket" that aggregates the thinking of everyone participating in ESPN.com's tournament game)?

Great doctor and person
Dr. Carragee did 2 surgeries for me. My neck and my lower back. Both were big surgeries. They were tough. He made it ok. These were 16 years ago. I have been pretty good ever since.

Very successful spine surgery
I was fairly badly disabled with spondiolisthesis, two ruptures discs andpressure on the foraminal nerves. I could not stand without support for more than a few minutes. Dr Carragee fused the S1 L5 L4 vertabrae, decompressed the foraminal nerves and inserted hardwarewhich keeps everything in place. THe day after surgery I stood up straight again free of pain. I was a new man. I followed his directions religeously and recovery was quite rapid. It is very important to walk as much as you can within your zone of comfort.Stanford gets high marks from me for pain care but the nursing care was very deficient.There was not much response to that buzzer, and at night, well good luck.It has been six years since, and I have had no problems associated with that surgery, and I confidently recommend him.Remember, you will have a repaired back, not a new one, which will last if it is not abused. Don't twist!

Had a previous doctor who was terrible. Due to this previous doctor's incompetence, I was left partially paralyzed (think numb not crippled). Dr. Carragee diagnosed me and recommended immediate surgery. Although the issue repeated itself less than 3 months later, (a very uncommon result) I can not speak higher than I can of Dr. Carragee. I have been fully functional and in no pain for the last 10 years.

The best !!!!!
The best doctor. He fixed my neck and 2 years later my back. They both have been great since. The back was a difficult surgery. I am very pleased with everything he has done for me and in the manner in which he and his team performs. A very smart and caring doctor.

Wonderful Doctor
Dr. Carragee saved my elbow after a nasty fall off of a horse. My elbow had dislocated and it was a total dislocation. I fell in some very bad manure and dirt and the stuff got into my elbow as I had a ruptured joint capsule. Dr. Carragee was able to after two surgeries put me back together with no long term effect. I followed his orders and am thankful that today I have full use of my right arm. Thank You Dr. Carragee.

Dr. Carragee made me feel very comfortable. He took time to answer all my questions. He was able to give me answers that I didn't get from my treating surgeon. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking cervical spine injury treatment.:)

We once lived in a townhouse unit and were comfortable and secure during our two years. However, our unit was Read Morein front of the pool and we dreaded the summer months due to tenants violating the curfew. Additionally, some of the residents did not clean up after their pets and management was not proactive. Lastly, they should not refer to the units as luxury.

The Senate Whitewater Committee continued to press its case against Hillary Rodham Clinton--with limited success. A lawyer who once worked under Mrs. Clinton at the Rose Law Firm disputed her assertion that it was he who brought in as a client the S&L at the heart of Whitewater. The lawyer supported the First Lady's recollection that her work on a stock offering for the S&L was mostly supervisory but said he could not provide information about other work in which he did not take part. At a news conference President Clinton said his wife would continue to...

Miriam Matson Babbitt
September 10, 1923 - December 20, 2013
Miriam Matson Babbitt was reunited in Heaven with her husband of 46 years, Allen Joel Babbitt, on December 20, 2013, at the age of 90 years.
"Mimi" was born in San Antonio, TX on September 10, 1923.
She is now at peace, in the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who she fervently served throughout her life. She never went anywhere without her Bible in hand. When asked how many times she had read through the Bible, she would answer that it was over sixty. All who knew her were inspired by her commitment to her Lord and to the Castle Hills First Baptist Church, in San Antonio. She was an accomplished pianist, playing in church since a young teen. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and homemaker.
Mimi never met a stranger, whether it be a person or an animal. She was so friendly, that within five minutes of your first meeting, she might have learned your entire life history. She rarely checked out at a store without giving the cashier a compliment and asking how they were doing. She never talked about herself, rather, she wanted to know how you were doing. Her favorite pastime was to feed her deer, which she invited to make their home on her property. It was not uncommon for as many as seventy or more deer to attend the banquet of corn she would spread for them. Some would eat directly from her hand. She had names for most of them, and would often nurse an injured deer back to health. Likewise, she could never walk past a dog without offering a greeting and stopping to pet it.
Mimi loved to travel and enjoy the beauty of God's flowers and mountains. She traveled all over the world. She especially loved to vacation in Colorado, with her husband or son and family, anytime there was an opportunity.
Miriam is predeceased by her beloved husband Allen.
She is survived by her son, Gerald Allen Babbitt, and wife, Cheryl, of Mountain City; her two grandchildren, whom she loved dearly, Karen Babbitt Brown, and her husband Chris, of San Antonio; and Ryan Allen Babbitt, who is currently relocating to Tokyo, Japan. Other survivors include many dearly loved nieces and nephews, from the Matson and Babbitt families.
Services will be held at Harrell Funeral Home, in Kyle, TX, on Friday, December 27. Visitation at 10:00 AM, followed by a chapel service at 11:00 AM, officiated by the Rev. Dr. Harold O'Chester. Graveside services will take place at 3:00 PM, at Pipe Creek Cemetery, with Rev. Dr. George Harris officiating.
Pall Bearers are Chris Brown, James Builta, James Ross Builta, Samuel Builta, Jack Counce, and Dennis Nollkamper.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Association.

Foster's puts bubble in bad month for Evans & Tate
Page Tools
Shares in cash-strapped West Australian wine company Evans & Tate surged after it announced it had signed a deal to process grapes for Foster's.
Evans & Tate shares jumped to 34 ¢, up 28.3 per cent and its biggest increase since June, after it announced it had signed a five-year deal to supply and process a minimum of 4500 tonnes of grapes. This would be on top of the undisclosed tonnage the company already supplies Foster's.
It also said next year it would process a minimum of 13,500 tonnes of grapes owned by Foster's.
The fee for this would be considerably lower than the fee Foster's would pay for the 4500 tonnes of grapes supplied by Evans & Tate.
Yesterday's announcement was the first bit of good news for Evans & Tate since two weeks ago it posted a full-year loss of $49.8 million.
The company, which is still struggling with an oversupply of wine and was forced to sideline its chief executive by its bankers, is refusing to inform its investors how much the deal might add to its bottom line.
In its press release, Evans & Tate chairman John Hopkins declared it to be "a major expansion of our relationship with the world's leading premium wine company".
Mr Hopkins was unavailable for comment yesterday and company secretary Sue Symmons did not return calls. All inquiries were passed on to public relations company Porter Novelli, which refused to provide any details.

Barnes & Noble, the nation's largest retail book-seller, threw another product into the tablet computer ring Monday with the launch of its new Nook Tablet. Priced at $249, the Nook Tablet is designed to compete directly with Amazon's Kindle Fire and Apple's iPad.
With bookstores generally on the decline nationwide, Barnes & Noble is stepping up to the plate with its attempt to grab a piece of the growing e-book industry. The Nook Tablet is an upgrade from the company's Nook Color reader, which packed wi-fi capabilities and 16GB of memory. This latest version, besides being thinner and lighter, also contains a 1GHz dual-core processor. The device weighs less than a pound and has 11.5 hours of battery life.
While priced $50 higher than the new Kindle Fire, the Nook Tablet is still about half the cost of an iPad.
William Lynch, Barnes & Noble's CEO, believes that, even with its steeper price tag, the Nook Tablet has an edge over Amazon's Kindle Fire. He said the Kindle Fire's memory was "deficient" in comparison. The Kindle Fire packs only 8GB, compared to Nook Tablet's 16. The Nook Tablet also has the capability of another 32GB with the addition of a removable memory card.
The Nook Tablet comes with apps to stream video from Netflix and Hulu Plus, as well as music from Pandora's Internet-radio app.
Barnes & Noble also could benefit from the device with sales of more e-books to accompany the device. In a holiday push, the company recently lowered the price of earlier versions of the Nook. The Nook Color, previously selling for $249, has been reduced to $199. The company's Nook Simple has dropped from $139 to $99.
Gizmodo, however, which covered a demo of the device at its launch, found it lacking. Gizmodo's critic Adrian Covert questioned whether it was worth the price bump from the Kindle Fire.
"The sluggishness of the UI and browsing was noticeable. Menu and app transitions, along with page turns and scrolling looked choppy and somewhat unresponsive. The homescreen UI wasn't as affected as, say, the web browser, but I was hardly wowed by what I saw."
Shoppers will have to decide for themselves when the devices hit the stores next week.

The driver of the train that derailed in northern Spain, killing 78 people, admitted in the aftermath of the crash that he had made a mistake and wanted to die, it has been claimed.
Francisco Jose Garzon de Amo, 52, escaped from the wreckage of the country's worst rail disaster in almost 70 years with only light injuries and is now under police guard in his hospital bed.
Pictures on Friday showed the moment he was led away from the scene - past the bodies of the dead and wounded - by rescue workers. As he realised the enormity of the crash, he is alleged to have said: ''I f---ed it up. I want to die.''
Mr Garzon was formally placed under arrest on Friday ''on suspicion of a criminal act linked to responsibility for the accident''.
In recorded transcripts of calls from the train cab to rail officials, he reportedly admitted in the moments after the crash that he had been driving at 190km/h in a zone restricted to 80km/h.
The driver, who was one of two at the controls during the train's journey from Madrid to Ferrol in north-western Spain, suffered a head wound needing nine stitches.
A police spokesman said Mr Garzon was refusing to respond to questions. A judge is due to visit him in hospital to take his sworn statement when he is ''sufficiently recovered''. He could face manslaughter charges.
On Thursday, it emerged that he had previously boasted of speeding on his Facebook page.
At least 78 people died as a result of the crash, 71 at the scene and a further seven from their injuries when they reached hospitals.
Authorities described 31 others - including four children - as being in ''a critical condition''.
The death toll was revised down from 80 after forensic experts determined that body parts originally thought to be from different people were from the same victims.
At least 10 of the bodies were so mutilated that they needed DNA analysis before formal identification could take place.
The roll call of the dead began to emerge on Friday with photographs of the victims and the circumstances that led them to be on the train.
Lidia Martin and her two-year-old daughter, Daniela, were among the dead. The father and a son survived.
Antonio Jamardo, a Spaniard in his 40s, was travelling to attend the wedding of his brother on Saturday. Instead the family gathered the night before for a funeral.
One of the first on the scene, fireman Jaime Tizon, 38, described the heartbreaking search through the wreckage for survivors.
''I saw a pushchair and I rushed in to look for the baby but it wasn't there - the train carriage seemed empty,'' he said. ''Then at the end of the carriage in a corner I found a little child curled up in the arms of his mother. They were both dead.''
Laura Lopez, 14, escaped death but her mother Elisa, 46, and older brother Tomas, 21, died.
A judicial investigation and one by Spain's Ministry of Transport have begun. Information from the black box recorder confirmed the train had been travelling at 190km/h when it entered the curve on the approach to Santiago de Compostela, sources close to the investigation said.

Also, i had never heard of needing to bed in your parking brake, although it makes sense. i gave it a go 5-6 times, and it doesnt seem to have improved any. since the parking brake does actually hold the car on my driveway, would it be acceptable to simply adjust the parking brake to a tighter level?
Yes. You probably need to adjust the parking brake at each back wheel. Only if this does not do it do you tighten the adjustment at the parking brake handle in the car. Also as jhurless mentioned, you have a bent backing plate. Do not try to bend it back with pliers. You need a small pry bar between the backing plate and the rotor. Wedge it back into place or you will butcher it.

Team Building at Pumpkin Fest
The annual Pumpkin Festival in Keene had a bit of a twist this year. The setup was new, and fresh faces volunteered to help bring everything together, but the same values as always were kept intact. The Keene neighborhood team had some new faces as well, and the team was out in full force to engage people in the community. And our work was most definitely a success! Campaign veterans and new volunteers signed up to support the President and say they're IN for 2012. Especially enthusiastic were local college students, who were not able to vote during the last election but are now ready to express their rights. They and other festival-goers took pictures of the jack-o-lanterns we carved to spell out "Obama 2012," which shone brightly as the evening went on. As the day ended, the town square was not only awash with the orange of grinning jack-o-lanterns, but also the blue 2012 stickers pasted on the jackets of an excited new generation of organizers and voters.
You can join your neighborhood team and help spread the word about the Obama campaign in your community. Join us for an upcoming event or let us know that you'd like to hear from an organizer near you.

Written on: 18/09/2013
I read a lot of reviews before making any plans or going with any particular service. I read mixed reviews on this service, from people who were as happy as can be, to people who had nothing nice to say. Well I have to say that I have been in contact with customer service on several different occassions to either ask a question or to change a booking and even to request a price adjustment, which I got. Every time that I contacted Bookit, I was met with a friendly service representative who went out of their way to help me. I seriously doubt that I just happened to get lucky. How anyone else could have had a problem with these people is beyond me, perhaps they brought it on themselves and they just complain about everything. As an added bonus, everyone spoke perfect English! Hands down, a great service. Will definately use them again for my next vacation!Get Great Holidays Deals From Expedia

In what has to be considered a hilarious yet genius prank, Swedish duo Daleri had a light bulb moment and released a minute long compilation combining every 'hard hitting' drop from the current Beatport Top 100.
In an unofficial way, the pair have declared their war on the 'EDM' scene infecting Beatport's current 'top' list for being too damn repetitive and highlighted the generic nature of the EDM beast.
Totalling only 58 seconds you'll be able to hear the drops from 16 current Beatport 'top' tracks, ranging from Dimitri Vegas' "Wakanda" to Hardwells remix of Krewella's "Alive" all hilariously mixed together!
What do you make of it?

[JURIST] European airlines that transmit passenger data to the United States could face legal action or fines after EU and US officials failed to reach agreement [JURIST report] by Saturday's court-imposed deadline on how to share passenger information [Reuters report] without violating EU privacy laws. Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the US has required airlines landing in the country to supply the name, address, telephone number and credit card details of every passenger. In May, however, the European Court of Justice [official website] struck down the agreement as illegal [JURIST report] under EU law, forcing the US and the EU to begin negotiating a new deal [JURIST reports].
Airlines that do not supply the required data within 15 minutes of takeoff could lose US landing rights and face fines of $6,000 per passenger. While the EU court ruling has aggravated US officials striving to heighten border security, those who support it say the passenger name record agreement [BBC Q&A; DHS press release] threatened to make EU citizens' data subject to uses other than basic terror security checks [JURIST report; European Parliament press release]. Negotiations are expected to continue, but it is as yet unclear how failing to meet the deadline will affect trans-Atlantic air travel. AP has more.

JERUSALEM (Jun. 6)
Chief of Staff Gen. Mordechai Gur expressed confidence today that Israel would never again be caught by surprise if its enemies decided to attack. He said the disengagement lines on the northern front made a surprise attack by the Syrians impossible and said that Israel had benefited from the mistakes of the Yom Kippur War and was making sure that there would never again be weak spots in its lines. He also pledged that settlements on the Golan Heights, would be strongly defended.
Gen. Gur analyzed the military and political meanings of disengagement at a meeting here as Israeli forces prepared to withdraw from the Yom Kippur War enclave in Syria and portions of the eastern Golan Heights that will be part of the United Nations buffer zone. Army units were busy today packing equipment and loading it on trucks. Bunkers, military installations and Syrian military camps in the areas to be evacuated are being levelled. At the same time, the new Israel defense lines are being manned and equipped. They will be inspected by UN observers to confirm that the limitation of forces agreed to at Geneva is strictly observed.
Gen. Gur said, "For me personally it was more difficult to leave Mt. Hermon than to leave Kuneitra." He referred to Israel's evacuation of the Syrian side of the 9200-foot mountain which will be turned over to UN forces. Kuneitra, the abandoned capital of the Golan Heights, will be turned over to a Syrian civilian administration but will be part of the UN buffer zone.

Project DescriptionHenry and Katie Bunsow fell in love at Lake Tahoe late in life. With Katie's Napa-based equestrian center and Henry's work in San Francisco, and kids grown, they desired a small lake retreat to escape the Napa Valley heat. They found a wonderful 1920s cabin across the street from the crystalline water of Lake Tahoe.
Todd Gordon Mather Architect was asked to assess a renovation of the cabin situated along Tahoe's West Shore. Due to the lack of upper level headroom primarily, the recommendation was to tear down the existing cabin and rebuild in a similar manner.
The Bunsow's goals for the new home included enhancing the lake views through an adjacent park. Careful placement of rooms and windows were seminal. They wished for a cabin-in-the-woods feel that was to be reflected in a quaint home that might resemble the original cabin. Maintaining the home's exterior materials were to be reduced to a minimum. Doors were to be minimized, too. Quality construction was imperative.
This 1,850 square foot, two-bedroom house features a soaring living room with antique lights and mantle, and hosts an exposed recycled timber-framed reading loft that overlooks the grand-yet-cozy living room. High windows at the opposite gable provide lake views. A diminutive media den is made cozier with a window seat. The kitchen has its own fireplace with space for an integrated reading area and desk. An open staircase allows daylight to pour in from an expansive window making the stair feel gracious. Two bedrooms each with just the proper amount of space are en-suite. While French doors open to the master suite, a matching exterior door with Romeo & Juliet balcony overlook the grounds and Lake Tahoe from the foot of the bed. An open closet area hides personal items behind a galley of full-height cabinets. His and her vanities are located opposite each other and opposite a deep soaking tub.
Katie, a self-taught interior designer, selected the interior materials, finishes and products. She furnished her home with an extensive, refined collection of American antiques incorporating some into the vanities and kitchen bar.
The entire house is wrapped in recycled Utah barn wood. This resilient siding is carefully mitered at the corners so exterior trim could be minimized, which augments the home's shape and size. The ratio of windows to walls add to the home's timeless feel as if it had been built a century earlier. The home's exterior base is clad with a quintessential stone wainscot which durably and firmly grounds the building to the earth among the thick ferns.
The charming, compact design includes a double-cantilevered upper floor and intersecting gable roofs with carefully located shed dormers. TGMA worked with Linchpin Structural to design efficient steel floor beams to accommodate this challenging feature. Heavy snow loads on the adjoining roofs added to this challenge. TGMA coordinated with civil engineers to certify floor heights and design the foundation's flood vents due to the home's location in a FEMA flood zone.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has fired a shot across the bow of big business, saying Australia will use its leadership of this year's G20 meeting to push for a co-ordinated international crackdown on tax-avoidance strategies favoured by global corporations.
The approach may have implications for IT companies such as Google and Apple and more traditional firms such as those in the resources sector.
Mr Abbott raised the issue of transfer pricing in his keynote speech at the Davos World Economic Forum, using the elite platform to warn it will be a focus of the G20 leaders' summit in Brisbane in November.
Arguing that cross-border agreement on fairer taxes would be ''a big step forward'', he told the gathering of selected global business and political leaders that Australia would press from the G20 for nations to confront frankly the issue of businesses shifting profits overseas.
Governments have long complained that multinational corporations have deliberately configured their operations to register their highest costs in higher taxation jurisdictions such as Australia, while transferring profits to arms of their operations based in low- and, in some cases, no-tax jurisdictions.
However, Mr Abbott was careful not to sound hostile to new investment, emphasising that Australia was ''open for business'' as he broke with convention to criticise his domestic political opponents' handling of the global financial crisis.
Mr Abbott's move against tax minimisation comes as the Paris-based OECD gave an update on recommendations to governments on Thursday in its latest round of plans to crack down on global profit shifting by large multinationals.
The group of governments is working on a plan to overhaul the international tax system to prevent companies from deliberately moving their taxable profits overseas.
A digital economy taskforce will meet in February, with a series of draft recommendations due in March.
Mr Abbott said national tax arrangements had often not kept up with the rise of services and the pervasiveness of digital technologies, and that the G20 would confront the issue of businesses artificially generating profits to chase tax opportunities.
''One of the side effects of globalisation is more ability to take advantage of different countries' tax regimes,'' he said. ''Different national tax arrangements have not always kept up with the rise of services and the pervasiveness of digital technologies.
''So, the G20 will continue to tackle businesses artificially generating profits to chase tax opportunities rather than market ones.''
He said he hoped to have a ''really frank leaders-only discussion'' in Brisbane about digitalisation and its implications for tax, trade and global integration''.
''Because taxes need to be fair, as well as low, in order to preserve the legitimacy of free markets,'' Mr Abbott said.
''The essential principle is that you should normally pay tax in the country where you've earned the revenue.
''For the leaders of the countries generating 85 per cent of the world's GDP merely to agree on the principles needed for taxation to be fair in a globalised economy would be a big step forward.''
Doubts were raised this week about global efforts to tackle tax avoidance by the world's biggest corporations, with experts saying Australia would be better off terminating unfavourable tax treaties.
Observers said recommendations to crack down on profit-shifting would go nowhere without a willingness from countries, particularly the US, to implement the new rules, and called on countries such as Australia to consider abolishing its treaty arrangements with Ireland and other low-tax jurisdictions.
Mr Abbott believes the task ahead of governments given the increasing sophistication and adaptability of the digital economy is to view it more as an organism than as a machine.
''The challenge for authorities is to keep abreast of developments, not to lag behind them as they did pre-crisis, and to maintain the public's trust,'' he said.
''On trade, tax, infrastructure, employment and banking, we owe it to our citizens, on whose behalf we attend international conferences, to maximise the specific outcomes from this year's G20. A strong economy is far less likely to be one responding to central control than one spontaneously generating its own growth.''
Tim Costello, a critic of unrestrained market capitalism, is chair of the lobby group C20. He has called for a greater focus on the contribution and value of civil society, but he also backs tighter rules for corporations.
''Australia's C20 is on the same page with the Australian government when it comes to the G20's great potential to improve tax transparency,'' he said.
''Plugging tax leakage goes to the legitimacy of any revenue-raising system and it also builds the capacity of government to meet the legitimate needs of their people, therefore striking at the heart of inequality.
''Getting this stuff wrong, or succumbing to policy drift, ultimately benefits those who don't play by the rules, and can hold back entire countries seeking to move along the economic development continuum.''

by Talya Lerner for Goddard Space Flight Center
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Feb 04, 2014
As the James Webb Space Telescope scientists and engineers continue to move forward with the observatory's pre-launch testing and assembly, the NASA community is excited to see the outstanding work accomplished so far.
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., held an employee event on Feb. 3, 2014, to share this progress. The main auditorium filled to capacity with NASA employees, as well as top officials from Northrop Grumman, Ball Aerospace and Technologies, the Space Telescope Science Institute, the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, the Canadian Space Agency and others to hear the strides the Webb team has made.
Goddard Center Director Chris Scolese welcomed everyone and acknowledged that, "Without their leadership, we wouldn't be here today," he said. "They have taken Webb from the beginning to the really great state it is in today."
The two other esteemed guests who joined Scolese on stage were NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland. Bolden shared his excitement and admiration for the scientists and engineers working hard to keep Webb on-budget and on-target for the much-anticipated launch date, scheduled for no earlier than 2018.
"The recent completion of the critical design review for Webb, and the delivery of all its instruments to Goddard, mark significant progress for this mission," Bolden said.
Mikulski, a long-time NASA supporter, said she was proud and happy to see how far NASA has come with the telescope. In her role, Mikulski has helped secure funding for NASA so scientists and engineers can continue to push the envelope with their innovation and hard work. "My goal is to help you be you," she said. "May the force continue to be with you."
Guests also had the opportunity to see a live tour, through video feed, of the clean room that houses the hardware for Webb. They saw the 18 primary mirror segments that will soon be assembled on the Webb telescope. Paul Geithner, deputy project manager for Webb and tour guide explained the various parts of the telescope housed at Goddard.
Among the instruments was the University of Arizona's Near-Infrared Camera, which will be Webb's primary camera and collect images of some of the very first stars and galaxies that formed in our universe. Another instrument, European Space Agency's Near-Infrared Spectrograph analyzes the composition of various astronomical objects.
Next, Geithner showed the European Space Agency-provided Mid-Infrared Instrument. The instrument has both a camera and a spectrograph, which can see light in the mid-infrared, a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can't see.
The last instrument shown on the tour was the Canadian Space Agency's Fine Guidance Sensor and Near-infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph. This will allow Webb to point as precisely as possible at its targets to obtain the highest-quality images possible. It will also provide another method for investigating both the distant universe and closer, recently discovered exoplanets.
These components, once assembled and launched will contribute to the Webb telescope's discovery of amazing things. "This is the promise of JWST," Geithner said.

For the first time, John Lennon's private letters will be viewed by the world in a book to be published in October 2012. They were purchased by Orion Books, based in London, after Lennon's widow Yoko Ono sold the rights. These letters are ones he wrote to friends, various fans and business associates. Beatles biographer Hunter Davis purportedly persuaded Ono to hand over the rights to the publisher. These letters are claimed to give fans a unique insight into Lennon's private thoughts, and were bought for approximately $1-2 million. They contain drawings and notes Lennon wrote to record companies, newspapers and even a child. John Lennon would've turned 70 last October.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/5/2014 (1149 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dear Mike,
My grandfather attended the Winnipeg Stampede in 1913 when he was a young boy and he brought home this souvenir brass spur, about an inch-and-a-half in length. I don't know if there was an actual miniature boot inside, but if so then it's long gone. One of the teeth on the rowel is slightly chipped but it's a very nice piece of Winnipeg history. If you have any other information about it, or an estimated value, it would be much appreciated.
Murray P.
Dear Murray,
You have a wonderful souvenir of the 1913 Winnipeg Stampede. Here is a brief history of the event. The first Calgary Stampede was held in 1912 and the following year it came to Winnipeg. The stampede was halted during the First World War, and it went back to Calgary in 1918, where it remains to this day. The spur you have is very collectible locally as well as to Calgary Stampede collectors. In its current condition, it would sell for $150 to $200.
Mike Huen is an antique dealer and owner of Mike's General Store in Winnipeg. If you would like to have an item appraised, please include a photo with your question. Email questions to firstname.lastname@example.com and put "Free Press" in subject line, or write to Mike's Appraisals, 52 St. Anne's Rd., Winnipeg, MB, R2M 2Y3.

Swifts swoop and England's prized defender signs on the dotted line
Sonia Mkoloma … a proven defender and leader.
Photo: Getty Images
THE NSW Swifts have made the coup of the off-season, with the signing of England co-captain Sonia Mkoloma. The 30-year-old goal defence, a veteran of 85 Tests, will boost the Swifts in their bid to return to the finals of the trans-Tasman championship after finishing ninth this year.
Coach Julie Fitzgerald said Mkoloma was a proven defender and leader. "I enjoyed working with Sonia. I saw different sides of her game, she has versatility and she is everything we are looking for," Fitzgerald said on meeting her in New Zealand in August. ''There's more changes this time around than usual … players retire, they move on.''
In recent years, NSW have lost defenders Liz Ellis (retired 2007), Selina Gilsenan (retired 2008) and Mo'onia Gerrard (Adelaide).
"I am glad to be given the opportunity to be part of the Swifts," Mkoloma said. "They have great players in their mix.''
Mkoloma, who will now miss six warm-up matches before next year's Commonwealth Games, is one of four new signings.
But England coach, Sue Hawkins, said she was happy for Mkoloma to be exposed to Trans-Tasman netballers. ''Her on- and off-court personality will lift the Swifts, I am sure of that.''
Swifts players said they could not explain what happened this year. Mid-court player Vanessa Ware said the losses were ''frustrating''. Kimberlee Green said: ''We had enough ball … we became afraid to give the ball.'' And defender Rebecca Bulley said: ''It just didn't go to plan.''
The other new signings are young players from the AIS, Ashleigh Brazill, Kimberley Borger and Courtney Tairi. The Swifts will open their ANZ Championship campaign on March 21 against the Queensland Firebirds on the Gold Coast.
The 2010 NSW Swifts squad is:
Catherine Cox (c), Kimberley Borger, Ashleigh Brazill, Rebecca Bulley, Kimberlee Green, Samantha May, Sonia Mkoloma, Susan Pratley, Kimberly Smith, Courtney Tairi, Vanessa Ware, Amy Wild.

Video Of The Day:
Over the weekend, Will Ferrell's "Anchorman" character, Ron Burgundy, covered the Roar of the Rings, Canada's Olympic Curling Trials, for TV broadcaster TSN in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The Roar of the Rings was a week-long event and Burgundy called live game action with the regular curling broadcaster.
A statement from Ron Burgundy said: "Marked by the gods of broadcasting and placed into this shimmering green sphere like a golden egg in hay, chosen like an unclean jackal by Noah himself, I accept your hallowed task and sing out with a battle cry worthy of your love and your wisdom. And that song is, 'Winnipeg, get ready to paint the town Burgundy!'"

The salon has plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and relax. The table quickly folds out of the way or expands so the whole crew can dine together. You have a choice colors and fabrics, which have proven to be amazingly durable. The most popular is the low maintenance "Duratouch" from Reliatex, which has the look and feel of real leather, yet cleans up easily with a damp cloth. High quality aluminum opening ports and hatches with screens keep the interior bright and let the breezes flow through while keeping the bugs outside. There's standing headroom throughout the boat, including the main salon.
