The economics of George W. Bush may be broadly described as lukewarm Reaganomics, but his plans for regressive tax cutting and more dismantling of the public sphere are airbrushed with the same touchy-feely moderation the Republican candidate projects for himself. It's no secret that George the Second lacks intellectual depth–even his father's–and the stubborn ideological self-confidence that made the Gipper so effective in Washington. The big ideas are mostly inherited, modified to appear as unthreatening as possible. No Republican talks "revolution" anymore.
Given current circumstances, this package may be a stealthy fit with public indifference, at least more difficult for Democrats to demonize. To craft his program, George W. assembled a team of economists that roughly reflects elements of the old Reagan coalition but without the hard-edged, zany fervor. Martin Feldstein of Harvard has campaigned to disassemble Social Security for more than twenty years and chaired Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers, but he also got bounced when he persisted in worrying aloud about the soaring federal deficit. Michael Boskin of Stanford filled the same role in Bush Senior's White House and participated in the heretical act (for Republican true believers) of raising the top income tax rate to reduce the deficit. These two and some others are no longer pilloried as sellouts by the hardcore supply-siders (Newt Gingrich, who led the backbench rebellion against George Senior's tax increase, has since retired to the stud farm).
On many large matters like globalization, a Bush administration would take its cues not from academic economists but from the business and financial establishment–not so different from Bill Clinton's tenure (though Bush would doubtless drop the rhetorical flourishes about labor and environmental rights). Republicans always have deeper bench strength for filling such crucial economic positions as Treasury Secretary, and they already have Alan Greenspan running the country at the Federal Reserve. So the distinctive differences are the plans for tax cuts and Social Security privatization drafted by his economic team.
His leading adviser–and the best reflection of Bush's artful strategy–is a putative spokesman for the supply-side wing of the Republican Party. Lawrence Lindsey is a former Federal Reserve governor and ex-Harvard professor, now at the American Enterprise Institute and awaiting GOP restoration, who is likely to fill a key position if Bush wins. Lindsey was warmly embraced by the supply-siders twenty years ago because he was one of the few mainstream economists willing to aver that their theory was not nuts (and had the imprimatur of Harvard). Supply-siders helped him win appointment to the Federal Reserve Board, but some now see him as an apostate, who has adulterated the true faith in the interest of career advancement. Bush would cut the top tax rate but wouldn't get it back to the lower level established by Reagan or propose further reduction for capital gains (already reduced by Clinton).

Despite ongoing violence south of the border, cooperation between Mexico and the United States has reached unprecedented levels.
At a luncheon Monday at a Washington think tank, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Mexican Interior Secretary Alejandro Poire touted how they've teamed up to fight drug and weapons trafficking, money laundering and human smuggling. Simultaneously, they warned that progress could be stalled if not continued by the next administrations in both countries.
"The challenges are so massive, and the threats so clear, that as much as we have advanced it is imperative that the level of effort not only stays at the same level, but hopefully increases on both sides of the border," Poire said.
While voters still have two months before they choose whether President Barack Obama or former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney should run the U.S., Mexicans voted this summer for President-elect Enrique Pena Nieto. He takes over Dec. 1.
It's unclear whether Pena will continue the same relationship with Obama or Romney. Pena has stressed in campaigns that he wants to reduce the level of violence in Mexico.
Violence in Mexico has claimed more than 35,000 lives since President Felipe Calderon came into office in late 2006. Most of the fighting has been between drug gangs, but the violence has left Mexicans questioning Calderon's war on drug trafficking.
Last year, 15,273 Mexicans were killed in drug-related violence. Six out of 10 Mexicans think that organized crime gangs are getting the upper hand in the drug war, according to a Demotecnia poll.
Speaking as if Pena and Romney were sitting at one of the tables, both Poire and Napolitano stressed that the relationship between the two countries must continue with the same urgency.
"Cooperation between our two countries has never been stronger, but we also know that the threats we face are dynamic," Napolitano said. "We must continue to work together. This is not a static situation and we should never be comfortable leaning back in our chairs and saying we're done."
Poire credited U.S. intelligence with helping Mexico capture the alleged kingpin of the Gulf Cartel, Jorge Eduardo Costilla Sanchez, known as "El Coss." The State Department had a $5 million reward out for his arrest.
"I think the reality is there is more day-to-day cooperation on an operational level on very sensitive issues than we've ever seen before," said Andrew Selee, director of the Mexico Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, which hosted the event. "At the same time, there is a great deal of distrust between and among agencies. And there are crises of trust and political taboos that are still hard to break."
Poire and other top Cabinet officials of the Calderon administration are in Washington for a security meeting Tuesday with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Attorney General Eric Holder.
While the two countries have been sharing intelligence for years, Poire and Napolitano said the drops in border crossings by illegal immigrants has created "more space" to improve ties.
Illegal immigration has long been one of the "open wounds" between the two countries, Selee said.
An estimated 150,000 undocumented immigrants come to the U.S. each year, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, which is a 70 percent drop from the annual rates during the first half of the decade.

At first glance, the Universal Remote MX-810's $399 price tag would turn off people who are used to Logitech's useful, but affordable, line of universal remotes. The 810 does have RF and IR, 44 hard buttons, "easy" shortcut buttons like DVD, DVR, All On/Off and the ability to control 24 devices and 24 activities for each.
Still, for almost half a grand, you'd probably expect a giant touchscreen like the Logitech Harmony 1000, and for a remote with a bunch of hard buttons, you'd probably go with a $50 low-end Logitech Harmony. But we'll reserve our judgment for when we can actually play with it.

CALIFORNIA, U.S. - The death toll in the disastrous California wildfire great to 31 late on Thursday, even as weary fire crews began making progress against a firestorm.
The fire has been spreading dramatically over the last few days and rescuers are now conducting a grim search for bodies amid the ashes of burned communities.
In a press conference late on Thursday, Sonoma County Sheriff Robert Giordano told reporters that a 15th person was found dead in his county.
He said that search crews and cadaver dogs began sifting through debris for the first time on the day.
Later in the day, officials confirmed the discovery of four more bodies.
According to Sonoma County, Cal Fire and Yuba County officials, overall a total of 31 deaths have been reported, 15 in Sonoma County, eight in Mendocino County, four in Yuba County and two in Napa County.
At the briefing Giordano said that the searches could take hours, and identification will be difficult.
He said, "So far, in the recoveries, we have found bodies that were almost completely intact and bodies that were nothing more than ash and bone."
He added that in the latter cases, sometimes the only way to identify someone is through a medical device, like an ID number with a metal hip replacement.
Giordano said, "We will do everything in our power to locate all the missing persons, and I promise you we will handle the remains with care and get them returned to their loved ones. It could be weeks or even months before all the bodies are identified."
Meanwhile, state and local officials expressed optimism that milder-than-expected winds and additional firefighting crews from across California were allowing them to make progress against the fires.
Santa Rosa Fire Chief Tom Gossner said that hundreds of firefighters were battling the devastating Tubbs fire in Santa Rosa and added, "We need to hit this thing hard and get it done. It's time to finish this thing."
According to Santa Rosa Mayor Chris Coursey, as of Thursday, staff estimated 2,834 homes were destroyed in the city of Santa Rosa alone.
Coursey said that about 400,000 square feet of commercial space was burnt too.
Officials also added that the flames had destroyed the city's newest fire station, on Fountaingrove Parkway.
Cal Fire spokeswoman Heather Williams has said that there is still concern for Calistoga and elsewhere.
Officials are expecting winds between 10 mph and 20 mph on Thursday night, and stronger seasonal winds over the weekend.
Meanwhile, the fire around Mt. St. Helena hopped Highway 29, which runs adjacent to the mountain north of evacuated Calistoga.
Amy Head, a Cal Fire spokeswoman said, "It's so thick [with vegetation], it's so steep. The fire is unpredictable. We don't want to get trapped on this mountain."
Further, crews have managed to start a containment line for the 43,000-acre Atlas fire.
Residents have been warned that they might have to evacuate eastern sections of town closest to the fire.

The number that really counts is how many would have killed only if a gun was available...
^^There was a knife attack in China at a school a couple of days ago where a reported 22 kids were injured.The recurrence of kind of horror isnt going to be solved by banning weapons, Im sorry to say.
... the Westboro Baptist Church might have something to say too - something none too delicate & wholly inappropriate, no doubt.
Ken, I find this offensive.
Steve, either you or I have absolutely misunderstood what Ken was writing. I read his line as in no way advocating that action, but highlightig it as a reaction/thought quite common to many people in many countries about many groups, either ethnic or social.Rob C
If you have dead-locks on your doors and security mesh on your windows, you pay less insurance. Likewise, the fewer the guns in circulation, and the greater the difficulties in acquiring a gun for any private purpose, as a result of stringent legislation, the less likely that massacres, such as the recent Connecticut massacre, will occur.
Thank goodness I live in a society where I don't live in fear of guns.Jim
Russ, if I wouldn't know you, I would be tempted to respond with something like this:"Dear RSL, your contribution to this discussion, otherwise quite serious and reasonable, has been nothing short of flippant so far. Please grow up!"But since I know you, I would never even dream of saying such a thing, let alone post it.
You understand people -- mostly we're impulsive and we take the easy option.It is possible to commit suicide in all kinds of ways, but without a quick and easy way the impulse may pass.It is possible to kill people with our bare hands but it isn't easy -- and I've yet to see a news report of a drive-by knife-attack.Guns, by design, are a quick and easy way to kill.
Isn't that an extremely telling example?Those children, while injured, are still alive, right? A knife attack can kill, of course, but it is much more difficult to inflict mass and deadly casualties with it. It is also much easier to fight off or subdue the assailant with even bare hands.
One thing that tends to get overlooked as a factor in mass murders is the media coverage. We all know who is getting the most of it in cases like this. Their names and mugshots are everywhere, what they wrote, what they said, their life stories, etc. There is no doubt who is the "hero" of the day. And being famous, including infamous, is at the top of the social values in our society.Now imagine if the media would somehow, miraculously, agree to the one and the same treatment of events like this: no mentioning of the perp's name, no photos, no stories about. Instead, the media would be plastered with stories about those who lost their lives, their most beautiful photographs, etc. So that any idiot out there planning to become famous by copying or outdoing the last one would know that the only fame he would create is for his victims and a total anonymity for himself.
Steve, I sincerely regret offending you, particularly in a context like this, but Rob is right, that part of my post was caricaturing the simplistic reactions of some on the "left wing" of the gun control argument rather than advocating mass murder. Irony is tricky on line - often gets missed - I guess because facial expression and tone of voice are taken out of the equation. I do think, however, that you might have picked up a clue from the fact that I was running an "one the one hand - on the other hand" argument in which both sides were presented as mistaken extremes.And I certainly have nothing against the American South myself. What you say in praise of it is exactly right.
... have long considered it ...
If you study the UK... The society remains extremely violent...
... the minute we take one potential weapon off the market, they'll just move on to a new one.
... Those who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks used box cutters.
Here we go again: no discussion, no attempted understanding of the opposing view(s), just the scoring of points. Stamper's first post on this matter was right.

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - The donation amount continues to rise for a homeless Bostonian who found a backpack with more than $40,000 in cash and checks inside and returned it without taking a single penny.
After hearing the story of Boston resident Glen James' extraordinary honesty, an Alabama native stepped up as well, giving the situation a two-fold reason to restore faith in humanity.
Ethan Whittington took action and is now making headlines of his own. A friend had recently told him about a website for crowd-funding, and he decided to set up an account.
If strangers stopped giving right now, the homeless man would have nearly three times the amount of money he found to do with whatever he wants, but they keep giving.
Whittington started a page on the website GoFundMe.com, thinking he could raise $300 or $400 for James. "I was going to send it to the P.O. box that it listed on the article I read," Whittington explained.
The outpouring of support was explosive. Within 24 hours, more than 2,000 strangers had donated more than $55,000 to the cause. Within 48 hours, the number of donors stood at more than 3,500 and they'd given nearly $90,000!On the third day, the donations topped the 6-figure amount and continued upward to over $110,000 as of 3 p.m. Thursday.
Whittington, and James, are both still in shock. They've spoken on the phone, but now plan to meet at some point in the coming week. In an interview with a local Boston NBC affiliate, James expressed his gratefulness for the outpouring of support.
The original goal was $50,000, but has since been upped to more than $250,000. And James may get more than cash. Whittington says he's talking with an organization that will help him manage the project adding that he's received offers for computers, clothing and possibly even a job and housing for James.
Whittington says he wanted to do something more than just hand over a check to James, that he wanted to positively influence the man's life, and spark others to do the same.
Whittington, who graduated from Montgomery's St. James School in 2004, has since moved to Richmond, Virginia, though his parents remain rooted just outside Alabama's capital city. Whittington's mom told officials at his alma mater that she thinks her son learned some of his volunteer ethic from the community service projects he did while in school.
"I feel like, if everybody could come together and create one goal like we've done for Glen, why stop with him? Why can't we influence more people?" Whittington asked.
If you would like to donate, you can do so HERE.

It was April. The air was still cool. Winters here are only so cold and it seemed that was hanging around for a while. April came early that year. With Mom and Dad in Dunnellon, important holidays, were easy to plan. Do they come to the Cedar Keys? Do we go there? Easter was approaching. Mom usually left her pain and her health problems behind when she got out for a while. We asked them to our house. Easter was set.
"Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." (1 John 4:11-12 NIV)
The big fish have returned. The food web in our inshore/near shore waters is now nearly complete. With the exception pf tarpon, all of the large predators are now available for some major tug-O-war action. Oh and speaking of big fish, there are several manatees in the area so be on the lookout for these gentle giants.
Holy mackerel! The mackerel that are running the edge of the flats are huge! Monday we caught six that went over thirty inches. Now those are some hefty Macs. Interestingly enough they were caught on freshwater crank baits.
Who are the rulers of the Keys/ Who really reigns supreme? We can come up with all sorts of answers. Everyone knows that the city council rules, or at least is the ruling body, right? Or is it the mayor? Or police? Or CRA? Thinking broader than that, I've come up with some thoughts, a few potential answers, ideas, other virtual realities of who rules the Keys.
Tomorrow, April 11, will be the 108th birthday of the U.S. Navy Submarine Force. This is of interest to me because for most of my 21 years of active Naval service, I worked on submarines (affectionately referred to as "bubble boats" or "bubble machines"). I never was assigned to one so I didn't have any sea time under water (unless you count the eight hours of the dependents cruise I took my wife on) but, being assigned to a submarine tender, I worked on many of them. The training that I received for those assignments was my first real introduction to computers.
Just this week three airlines filed bankruptcy. The airline industry is failing miserably it seems. They say it is because of competition and fuel prices. I say it's from mismanagement.
And too, it seems like everyone gets left holding the bag when the airlines bail out - except for the executives. They leave with their pockets full. What does that tell you?
Some weeks back, not that many, a fleet of boats, all on trailers, came to town for a few days' stay. These boats were impressive, bass boats, inshore-offshore fishing boats, boats with long cranes on them, retractable cranes, others with towers, and a couple of just plain pleasure boats. All were clean and pretty and new, at least in appearance, and all had the word Berkeley in obvious display.
A new movement is happening in General Aviation. The LSA is now out and it is taking off with much enthusiasm.
"What is an LSA," you might ask?
Well, it is a light sport aircraft that anyone can fly. It requires no medical certificate like a regular pilot's license. A driver's license is all that is required. Well, yes you still need a pilot's license, but not in the sense of he word.

I was asked this by a friend recently, and it has been stuck in my head (even though the whole idea requires an egomaniacal suspension of disbelief) – "If you could sit down to dinner with the people you think see the world we're in most clearly and spend dinner working on how to change things and be ready for a crisis, who would you invite to eat with you?" He added the caveat that I can have as many people as I want, and no, I don't have to cook and clean up ;-).
Actually, if I were going to do this, I would love to host. I like nothing better than to be the one doing the cooking, although I won't complain if someone else helps with the dishes afterwards. Honestly, I'm never happier than putting together dinner for a crowd, so let's call it 25 people (which is the sit-down limit in my dining room with two tables open). Since this is my fantasy, my children are off visiting someone else for the evening, and so besides Eric and me (of course my husband, who has always been the most interesting person to me in any room since I met him is the first person I want) I get to invite 23 guests to make the plan to save the world.
That's a bit of a crowd, and I do have to recognize that since 25 people can't really all speak to one another over two tables easily, we might have to have dinner three or four times before we save the world. That's ok. I have lots of recipes, and I love having dinner guests. I still think more is good – and the intersection of people who might not otherwise meet worth a lot in terms of opening up ideas. And hey, if they all won't actually come to dinner, well, at least you can meet them here and see their work.
I have intentionally not emphasized political power players – the task was to come up with responses, not (yet) to implement them. My observation from working with people in power is that they are (correctly) aware of current limits in ways that are probably not helpful – I agree those limits exist, but I also find that crises change limits in a moment – one day something is impossible, the next it is necessary. My assumption is that the parameters that were set involve a response taken out of the box when you need it, not necessarily the (equally necessary, but you can't do everything at once) adaptation of the current zeitgeist to make change possible.
Because this is a dinner party, I've mixed people I already know and respect who are important thinkers, with a few more famous people that I'd like to meet, often people who might help get the message out. I've tried to put in people I agree with, people I disagree with and a nice mix of different perspectives. So here's my ideal dinner party.
– Jeffrey Brown, creator of the Export Land Model. The ELM is probably the most critical factor in how oil depletion will play out, and almost no one understands it. I'm lucky enough to know Jeff personally, and serve with him on the ASPO-USA board (which isn't an accident, I drafted him ;-)), and I'm continually shocked by the fact that this incredibly important idea is so badly understood.
– Juliet Schor Her work on how we use time and money and resources is critical to understanding the possibilities of the future – and that we are not bound by our present paradigm. I can't think of anyone else who intersects issues of real life, sociology and economics so brilliantly. I don't know her, but boy I wish I did.
– Bill McKibben I assume pretty much everyone knows who Bill is, and his work on climate. I don't always agree with his focus, but what's remarkable is his ability to put together functional activist organizations and to move on issues that are stagnating in other ways. McKibben and I have corresponded before and he has kindly read and blurbed my books, but he hasn't been to dinner. But hey it isn't too long a ride, and we've got mutual friends as well!
– Naomi Davis is often the person in the room getting folks to grasp energy and environmental issues, particularly climate change. Her organization, Blacks in Green and her work in Chicago neighborhoods as really made a critical difference in raising understanding. I'm lucky to serve on the board of ASPO-USA with her as well, and what I'd really want is her advice on how to make inroads into conversations that don't yet include these issues.
– Andrew Sullivan of The Dish at the Daily Beast has done more than anyone I can think of to put his view of the world into the cultural mainstream – and it is a nuanced and complex viewpoint. Sullivan's writing suggest he's aware of peak oil and certainly concerned with climate change – I'd love to get him connected to someone like Jeff Brown to make a clear explanation of exactly why you should be worried about oil issues.
– Aaron Newton and I wrote a book together, so he's an easy sell to me. But since _A Nation of Farmers_ Aaron has created the role of Local Food Czar (ok, that's not his official title, but county governments use dull language ;-)) for his county in North Carolina, focusing not just on local food production, but on the kinds of infrastructure building that allow the processing and expansion of lcoal food. Aaron is a genius, and he's doing on the ground work – both small farming and supporting local food that needs to be duplicated all across America.
– Kurt Cobb It might seem strange that so many of my fellow board members at ASPO-USA are on this list, but let's just that knowing one another through our work on the board has made it obvious just how extraordinary my colleagues are and how lucky I am to work with them. Kurt simply writes the clearest, most sparkling, most accessible prose on energy and environmental issues out there – period, no debate. If there's one person that could make the general public understand the complex issues of climate and energy despite mass scientific illiteracy, he's it.
Rod Dreher, of American Conservative Magazine believes in and understands peak oil, climate change and why growth may have to end, and in his book _Crunch Cons_ began to stake out a space for an environmentally conscious conservativism based on the preservation of the future. His is a really critical voice in this discussion, because no one side of the political spectrum has the power to implement mass change alone. Rod and I are long correspondents and friends, but we've never met in person, so this would be a good chance to get him to my house. He's currently in France, so he can bring wine and political leaven ;-).
I'm going to allow myself one totally unbelievable dinner guest, for for that I'm going to ask for Ban Ki-Moon. I know the UN Secretary General isn't coming to my house, but if I have to go for broke, I think I'd go there, and want to take a real shot at getting the UN to think seriously about energy depletion. Without putting realistic geological estimates into their models the UN is flying blind talking about the future, and much could be done if they'd stop.
–Art Berman (yes, yet another ASPO colleague) presents a clearer picture of our energy situation than anyone I know – he is both articulate and entertaining in his presentation, and his work on why natural gas is not going to save us is something everyone needs to hear. I'm seating him next to Mr. Ban.
– Nicole Foss Getting Nic to come over for dinner from whereever she is lately (she's the original "Tuesday? Belgium. woman these days, in huge demand worldwide as a lecturer) would be a challenge, of course, but worth it. Wouldn't you work around her to get Juliet Schor and Nic Foss together?
– Kathy Harrison might seem like an odd choice, given her focus on personal and domestic preparedness, but then again, I'm probably an odd choice to host for the same reasons. Ultimately, I really want us to remember that the experiences we are talking about are not universal – ultimately, policy is policy, but what we really need comes down to solutions that work at the home, neighborhood and community level, and Kathy is right on there. I want her there to bring the abstract down the human, and to remind us this has to work for real people.
– Jeff Rubin former CDC Chief Economist and advocate of the economics of relocalization would also be a guest, because I think it is critical that we have open discussion about multiple economic scenarios. Are energy prices likely to rise and rise, making localization necessary, or will they tank the economy making oil at least temporarily cheap and many of the alternatives not economically competitive. Foss and Rubin have a lot to say to one another (and they have said it kinda loudly in the past ;-)), but dinner parties need some lively debate (and in a house full of children, I can offer them water pistols at 20 paces if they must express their feelings more directly. Seriously, both sides of this discussion need to be heard and discussed.
– I'd like them both to listen to Tom Princen who is the most important genius analyst of the limitations of economic concepts that you've probably never heard of. His book _The Logic of Sufficiency_ is way more important than it sounds. Like Jeff Brown, more folks need to hear him.
– If we're talking about authors of books you should have heard of but haven't, Maria Mies, co-author of a number of important books including _EcoFeminism_ with Vandana Shiva and most importantly _The Subsistence Perspective_ (co-written with Veronika Bennholdt-Thomsen) would be my single first choice as a "the dinner guest everyone who comes has to read right now." Yeah, I know, you don't think you want to read a book about feminism and ecology. YES YOU DO (read _The Subsistence Perspective_ – it is the more important book) – even translated from the German ;-). Before Transition, before Rob Hopkins, before everything, Mies and her co-authors laid out a model for a new economy that we could actually live with. She's coming, even if I have to personally fly her in from Germany. And I don't fly. And no, she doesn't know me from Adam.
– I'm also bringing in H. Patricia Hynes, who I also don't know, but ranks up there in my top 50 people I wish I did. She's the author of critical texts on subjects as diverse as urban agriculture, population and the military's role in environmental health. Donella Meadows once wrote a remarkable essay about how astonishing hearing her speak on population was.
– I'm lucky enough to know Lt. Col. Danny Davis just a little bit, and to admire the hell out of him. Besides his now-famed whistle blowing on Afghanistan (a tough role to take from inside the military), he's also been a staunch ally of ASPO-USA, helping strategize on bringing peak oil to critical eyes. I'd be lucky to have someone as brave (in quite a number of ways) put in his thoughts.
As long as we're working on as many opinions as possible, let's bring in my friend Langhorne (Taury) Smith, New York State Geologist. Taury got nailed for daring to say that he thought that natural gas from hydrofracking's benefits might outweigh the risks, based on his concerns about imminent oil depletion. Whether you agree or disagree, smart people arguing honestly is worth a lot. Plus, unless he's in Saudi Arabia again, I don't have to fly him in from anywhere, he's practically a neighbor ;-).
– If Kurt Cobb writes about peak oil better than anyone, Fred Pearce does the same for climate change, with that same clarity that can get through the scientific illiteracy of the general population. Someone has to make climate make sense outside the purely partisan while they eat stuffed peppers, right?
– Peter Rosset, one of the creators of the idea of food sovereignty would be high on my dinner party list as well. I don't know him, but if there is a single person whose work on food has most influenced me, he's probably it. His work with Via Campesina and the international food soveriegnty movement would bring a much needed perspective.
– Let's get Rachel Lauden out to dinner. Her historical critique of the local food movement has merit, even if her assumptions and mine aren't the same – so we don't come to the same conclusion. I don't find "Luddism" to be a dirty word, either, but she's smart and thoughtful, and if Jeff Rubin and Nic Foss or Taury Smith and Art Berman are going to get into it, well, I've got to have someone to argue with, right.
– You've never heard of my friend Alice Oldfather, but I'm not just inviting her for moral support and because she's a mean cook, but because I think she gets why we are having such a hard time getting our message out – and she can help change that. The reality is that if such a crazy dinner party ever did produce a plan, we'd have to get it into the right hand at the right moment.
Last, but not at all least, I'd like to bring David Gushee who may have done more to de-partisan climate change than just about anyone else – his work to bring climate change to the fore in conservative Christian communities is a change that needs to happen – and potentially a gift to anyone who imagines us needing to mobilize whole communities.
Oh lordy, I'm going to have to have a lot of these dinner parties. How did I leave out Dmitry Orlov? Helena Norberg-Hodge? Or Richard Douthwaite? Why, oh why did Chalmers Johnson and Joe Bageant have to die before I got to have them to dinner? Someone is going to yell at me for not including climate scientists (mostly because I think climate scientists have a much more public voice and forum than oil depletion scientists do). And why don't I have the nerve to invite Wendell Berry or Stephen Colbert? Will there be enough pears in grape syrup? Oh, the dilemmas!
Who do you want to sit down with?

It looks like Simple Geo may have made a solid bet after all. Last week the company was acquired by Urban Airship. That transaction – all stock – was actually part of a much larger financing, Urban Airshp's Series C round of funding.
The new round brings in $15.1 million from new strategic investors Salesforce and Verizon and existing investors Foundry Group and True Ventures. That brings the total capital raised by Urban Airship to $21.6 million.
Urban Airship also issued Series C stock to Simple Geo stockholders as part of the acquisition. That stock was issued in addition to the $15.1 million on cash raised by Urban Airship, CEO Scott Kveton told me today in a phone interview.
Urban Airship helps mobile developers send notifications to users, and they're now sending a billion notifications per month to users on 300 million devices. They also assist developers with virtual good sales and app subscriptions. They charge a modest fee for all of these services.
Simple Geo will add location awareness to the process, helping developers send more relevant notifications. "We'll tell ESPN that Sunday afternoon is a great time to send users a fantasy football message," says Kveton, "but we'll also tell Groupon to perhaps hold off during that period." Both ESPN and Groupon are Urban Airship customers.
Knowing where a user is at any given time will help them refine messages further. Kveton says that the company will offer products including Simple Geo's services early next year.
Former SimpleGeo CEO Jay Adelson was also on the call and seems enthusiastic about Urban Airship's business going forward. "We considered raising new venture money to grow the company, or selling SimpleGeo for cash, but the biggest opportunity for shareholders was through a merger with Urban Airship," he said.

Long regarded as a haven for electric blues, power pop, and even metal, Chicago served as surprisingly fertile soil for the speedy growth of Lucky Boys Confusion. The five-piece ska-punk outfit -- Kaustubh Pandav (vocals), Adam Krier (co-vocalist, guitar), Ryan Fergus (drums), Jason Shultejann (bass), and Joe Sell (guitar) -- formed in 1997 when Pandav and Krier began writing songs together. The pair drew from punk, rap, and reggae to create an infectious ska-punk sound that combines Pandav's Latin melodies with Krier's Beastie Boys-influenced rap.
Recruiting members from their previous bands, Pandav and Krier formed Lucky Boys Confusion and began to perform at house parties and YMCAs in Chicago's western suburbs. The band's first recorded effort was a four-song EP, What Gets Me High, released on their own Townstyle label in 1997. The Lucky Boys' tales of suburban teen life proved popular and the band followed in 1998 with the full-length Growing Out of It, again released on Townstyle. The 17-track Growing Out of It included the four songs from What Gets Me High, along with new material written almost exclusively by the team of Pandav and Krier.
As the Lucky Boys' following grew in Chicago, "Dumb Pop Song," a single from Growing Out of It, found its way into regular rotation on Q101, Chicago's influential alternative rock station. With regular radio play, the band's fan base exploded and suburban house parties gave way to headlining gigs at the House of Blues and the legendary Metro. Fueled by the popularity of "Dumb Pop Song," Growing Out of It went on to sell over 6,000 copies. An EP, The Soapbox Spectacle, was released on Townstyle in March 2000 and the band eventually signed with Elektra Records. Lucky Boys Confusion's major-label debut, Throwing the Game, was released in May 2001, featuring the college radio favorite, "Fred Astaire." Commitment followed three years later. Some of their hookiest material to date, the guys made minor waves on national radio and television with "Hey Driver," but with Elektra's subsequent demise, the band soon found itself labeless.
Undeterred, the Lucky Boys embraced the DIY aesthetic and spent the next few years opening and headlining tours relentlessly across the country. As a result, the band's underground following stayed loyal. Working on various songs on the road, they next released the EP How to Get Out Alive in June 2006 on their own Townstyle Records, an imprint of Reincarnate (Sony/BMG). To celebrate the EP's release, the band played a five-night stand at Chicago's Beat Kitchen before heading out on nationwide dates with Bowling for Soup, Punchline, and the Army of Freshmen.

Five Questions: McLellan reflects on coaching startby Dan Rosen / NHL.com
NHL.com will periodically be doing a series called "Five Questions With …," a Q&A with some of the key movers and shakers in the game today aimed to gain some insight into their lives and careers.
This edition features San Jose Sharks coach Todd McLellan:
Todd McLellan played five NHL games, all with the New York Islanders, in a career shortened by injury. He scored a goal in his debut at New Jersey, dished out an assist in his second game against the New York Rangers, and was part of a victory -- his lone victory -- in his third game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
That was it.
McLellan's last NHL game as a player was April 3, 1988 at Boston. He went back to the American Hockey League the following season, suffered recurring shoulder injuries, retired and never played again in North America.
Seventeen years later he returned to the NHL as an assistant coach with the Detroit Red Wings. It took him three seasons of running the Red Wings power play to get noticed and hired by San Jose.
After retiring as a player, McLellan went on a coaching odyssey that took him to a foreign country, through the Western Hockey League, into the International Hockey League and eventually the American Hockey League. The path helped shape him into the coach he is today.
How did it happen?
Here are Five Questions With … Todd McLellan:
You played five NHL games and your career got cut short due to injuries. Do you have any regrets, any man-what-could-have-been feelings?
"That's a great question because I just relived that moment. I was in the minors in Springfield, Mass., and I remember driving away from the rink the day my career was over basically. I just went back to the Springfield arena this past September and I looked at the parking spot where I was parked. It was such a reflection time.
"Regrets? No.
"Looking back and reflecting on it, all my buddies when I left Springfield that day -- all my friends and anybody I related with -- was playing hockey at a high level and making a good living at it, but I left there empty. Back then hockey players tended to want to become firemen or policemen; I went back to become a coach. It was a great time for me to become a coach. Not a lot of pro players were doing that. I got into it at a very young age when there weren't very many people doing it and that was a huge advantage for me. I see young coaches starting now at the age I started at the Midget AA or AAA level. I got to coach in Saskatchewan junior league at I think 24 years old and the Western Hockey League at 26. That doesn't happen very often now. So, I was fortunate that way now that I look back on it.
Ruff talks Buffalo, new challengesBy Dan Rosen - NHL.com Senior Writer
This would be Lindy Ruff's 25th season in the Sabres organization, but he says he still hasn't been allowed to get too comfortable. READ MORE ›
"But, back then, I felt lost. My world was the hockey world and I wasn't part of it anymore."
Is it true that you had to go to the Netherlands to become interested in coaching?
"I did. After my injury I went back to the University of Saskatchewan and started to study again. After one year there I wanted to play so bad I went to the Netherlands -- my injuries had healed enough that I could go there -- and played in the Dutch league. It was one of the best years I had in hockey. We won the championship and I met a lot of great people there, people that I still keep in touch with.
"But, that's where I got the coaching bug. Doug McKay, who was part of New Jersey's staff back then, came over right around Christmas or a little bit later -- we had a Dutch coach that was fired. My girlfriend who is my wife now, left to go back and Doug moved in. We used to sit up watching practice, watching video, talking hockey and scouting games, and that really got me into it. That excited me about the coaching world."
What did you gain and learn from your experience of winning the Calder Cup in 2003 with the Houston Aeros that you still utilize today?
"Just what it took to play until June -- the preparation and intensity it takes to get to June hockey. It's relentless. It doesn't end. You don't get that day break even between series. You're moving on and you're pushing and finding ways to win. The experience of playing that late and being rewarded for it, I think it teaches you how to win."
Since arriving in San Jose you have made the Stanley Cup Playoffs every year, including twice reaching the Western Conference Finals and twice getting eliminated in the first round. Have your teams performed below expectations based on the personnel you've had?
"Well, the answer to that would be yes and no for me. I've spent four years here now, going into year five, and I believe there are two years of, 'Yes, we should have gotten a lot more out of our team,' and there were two years where it was, 'Hey, we got a lot out of our team.'
"In Year 1 we won the Presidents' Trophy and were out in the first round against a very good Anaheim team. That was a disappointment. I feel we could have gotten more out of that group. And, last year was tough for us and I believe there was more for us there.
"I've spent four years here now, going into year five, and I believe there are two years of, 'Yes, we should have gotten a lot more out of our team,' and there were two years where it was, 'Hey, we got a lot out of our team.'"
-- Todd McLellan on the high expectations surrounding the Sharks
"The two years in between, we got to the final four and Chicago went on to win the Cup and Vancouver was eliminated in Game 7 of the Cup Final. We lost to both of those teams. Mike Babcock always says if you get to the final four you've done something, you've pushed your horses enough so they ran for you and something either went right or wrong.
"I can't blanket my four years here with one statement."
When the NHL returns, can you say with any certainty that the Sharks are still legitimate Stanley Cup contenders with the personnel you'll have coming back to San Jose?
"I think we have to come to the rink and prove to ourselves that we are first.
"I'd like to think we are. I believe we can be. But we're at a point where we need to look each other in the eye coming back from the lockout -- and we're going to have to decide if we are going to be a Cup contender. With the personnel and the type of game we want to play, I think we can be, but collectively we need to make that decision and make it quickly."

Columbia, SC (WLTX)- According to the company's official website, Blue Bell is expanding its voluntary recall over possible listeria concerns.
Back in September, Blue Bell said that they were recalling just two types of ice cream over concerns that a cookie dough ingredient supplied by a third-party supplier (Aspen Hills, Inc.) could contain listeria. Now Blue Bell is expanding the recall to all products that contain cookie dough.
RELATED: Blue Bell issues voluntary recall over possible listeria concerns
No illnesses have been reported, according to the company.
The company lists the flavors being recalled on its website in a statement that reads, in part:
This recall includes the following products in half gallons and pints, Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Blue Bell Cookie Two Step sold to retail outlets, and three gallon flavors sold to food service accounts including Blue Bell Blue Monster, Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Cookie, and Blue Bell Krazy Kookie Dough. These products were produced from February 2, 2016 through September 7, 2016.
The statement went on to say that consumers should return the products for a full refund at the place from which they were purchased and provided a contact number if consumers should have any questions: 979-836-7977.

Municipal coalition advocates fight over Great Bay nitrogen regulations
By JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
ROCHESTER - Unless legislators and residents can convince environmental officials otherwise, stringent region-wide regulations could unnecessarily cost 62 communities about $1.5 billion to reduce nitrogen levels in the Great Bay Estuary a group warned Thursday.
The Great Bay Municipal Coalition - which includes the communities of Dover, Exeter, Newmarket, Portsmouth and Rochester - challenges the science behind the studies which convinced the Environmental Protection Agency and state Department of Environmental Services to establish the standards.
On Thursday, about 50 area residents, officials from cities and towns from around the region met and listened to John Hall, principal at Hall & Associates, an environmental law firm which has represented the coalition on Great Bay Estuary nutrient issues for the past two years.
Hall, who has been working as an attorney and engineer in the environmental field for three decades, reviewed the scientific basis for the EPA's proposed nitrogen limits for the coalition.
"The fundamental approach is essentially flawed," Hall said, adding both the EPA and DES is basing the data on information from 2008, but is not willing to consider previous data or hear new, more recent studies which contradict it.
"You can remove all the nitrogen, if you like, but it's not going to do anything to help the transparency in Great Bay," Hall said, adding he believes the "100-year floods" in 2005, 2006 and 2008 caused more sediment to flow into the bay.
"At that point, the water quality was horrible (in Great Bay) - it was horrible for months on end," Hall said, adding as a result eelgrass, which grows better in drier years, suffered after the increased rainfall. Hall said eelgrass, which contains sediment and provides habitat for fish, is an important measure of the health of the waterways. He added the eelgrass has returned in recent years.
"It's the base of the ecosystem of Great Bay," Hall said.
On Nov. 16 the EPA issued a final National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit - which limits nitrogen levels to 3 milligrams per liter (mg/L) to the Town of Newmarket. Hall said even though the EPA issued the permit, which expires after five years, the DES - the arbitrator for the state's water quality standards - agreed the new requirements were appropriate. Nonetheless, he added the EPA may be pressuring states to implement national regulations, which may not work in all areas.
Hall said Exeter's permit is expected to be issued soon and the EPA made it clear the other permits will be as stringent, except for Portsmouth since it is located on the southern edge of the bay. He encouraged area residents and officials to contact their state legislators about the issue and ask them to consider voting for the DES to conduct an independent peer review on the science behind the permits.
Barrington resident Holly Grossman, who pays property taxes in Dover and Rochester, said everyone should stop debating over the issue and start working on a solution.
"This sounds like an argument of sciences to some degree," Grossman said, adding she believes the nitrogen levels are causing the problem with the eelgrass.
State Rep. Steve Beaudoin (R-Rochester) said he's more concerned by the fact the DES didn't go through the legislature, which violated state law.
Altogether, it could cost the five coalition communities between $74 to $160 million to upgrade their treatment plants and $13 to $25 million in annual costs - which could increase user rates by 50 to 100 percent - to meet discharge standards."The public will incur a huge debt with little environmental impact," Hall said.
Dover City Manager Michael Joyal agreed that communities must protect the quality of the Great Bay, but the solution should not overwhelm taxpayers. As a compromise, he added Dover is looking to reduce nitrogen emissions at its facility from 22 mg/L to 8 mg/L- which is estimated to cost $10 million. If the stringent requirements are put in place in Rochester, Mayor T.J. Jean said Thursday that it could cost $20 million in upgrades to the city's wastewater treatment plant and an additional $2 million in annual expenses.

Shaheen, Collins call for action to avoid potential cuts to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard
February 04. 2013 3:31PM
WASHINGTON -- Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire on Monday joined with Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine in calling for congressional action to avoid automatic budget cuts, called "sequestration," that could hurt the Portmouth Naval Shipyard.
Shaheen and Snowe said sequestration could cause nearly $1.2 trillion in defense and non-defense federal spending cuts.
Shaheen said the Navy has announced the cuts would mean a civilian hiring freeze, cutting temporary workers at shipyards and base operating support facilities, reduced funding for critical repairs, and a possible 22-day furlough of civilian Naval employees.
Shaheen and Collins say a letter to the Senate Democratic and Republican leadership that the cuts "would have severe ramifications for many critical defense facilities, including our own Portsmouth Naval Shipyard."
Shaheen said in a statement, "The Navy's announcement underscores just how unacceptable automatic sequestration cuts are not only to our national security but to our economy as well.
"We need a comprehensive plan to rein in our debt and deficits but not in a way that puts our vital national security and economic interests at risk. I'm disappointed that we missed an opportunity to work in this manner last year during the fiscal cliff negotiations but am hopeful that moving forward we can take steps to avoid the kinds of actions that the Navy announced."
"While I am deeply concerned about our nation's rising debt and believe Congress must look for balanced and responsible ways to reduce federal spending, I oppose the indiscriminate, automatic, across-the-board cuts to defense and non-defense spending that would be required under sequestration," Collins said.
"Such meat-axe cuts would negatively affect jobs around the country, including as many as 5,900 in Maine where so many workers build and repair Navy submarines and ships, advanced jet engines, and other technologies that our nation's Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines rely upon to protect our country," said Collins.

Patient Feedback: A Quality Improvement Study in Outpatient Settings
NIDA-Funded Study of Quality Improvement in Substance Abuse Clinics
Principal Investigator: Paul Crits-Christoph, PhD
Quality improvement (QI) methods are a cornerstone of business and healthcare management throughout the United States, yet there have been few studies of QI interventions in addiction treatment settings. Investigators at the University of Pennsylvania and New York University School of Medicine tested the effectiveness of one QI system, Patient Feedback (PF), in increasing outpatient group therapy attendance and self-reported reductions in drug and alcohol use. The feasibility and acceptability of PF was initially established in a six-site study conducted within the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network. The feasibility study was then followed by the study described below.
Study Design and Rationale
In the current study, 20 community-based outpatient treatment programs in the New York and Philadelphia areas, involving approximately 118 clinicians, were randomly assigned to PF or usual clinic practices. In the PF condition, patients were invited to complete a 12-item, self-administered survey in which they rated therapeutic alliance and treatment satisfaction, and reported substance use in the past week across 12 weeks of treatment. Ten clinics received 12 weeks of the Patient Feedback performance improvement intervention and ten clinics received no intervention during the 12 weeks. Over 1500 patients provided anonymous ratings of therapeutic alliance, treatment satisfaction, and drug/alcohol use. These anonymous surveys were faxed by clinic staff to a University of Pennsylvania data center where a custom software application converted the surveys into feedback reports and posted them to a password protected website. Clinicians then accessed their caseload feedback reports and aggregated reports for the whole clinic; supervisors were only able to access the aggregated clinic reports. Clinic staff met monthly as a team to review the feedback reports and develop QI plans intended to yield improvements on select QI indicators. Organizations may share their feedback reports with funding sources, regulatory agencies, policy makers, and other stakeholders. This centralized, semi-automated feedback system eases fulfillment of accreditation requirements and as such, reduces the cost of clinic operations.
Outcomes and Directions
The study did not demonstrate effectiveness of the PF system; however this may have been due to a variety of reasons and provides directions for future research. The low level of alcohol and drug use at baseline suggest that performance improvement studies for enhancing the effectiveness of substance abuse treatment need to either select only patient and/or agencies with higher baseline levels of drug/alcohol use or rely on other types of outcomes rather than recent substance use. It may also be that clinicians are less motivated by caseload-level feedback. This latter issue led to us designed a preliminary study that provided feedback at the patient level rather than the clinician level.
This study is CLOSED to recruitment.

The Oak Ridge Board of Education interviewed three candidates for the schools superintendent position this week — and one of those is expected to make a return visit on Monday.
The Oak Ridge Board of Education interviewed three candidates for the schools superintendent position this week — and one of those is expected to make a return visit on Monday.
School Board Chairman Keys Fillauer said the board decided to invite back Bruce Borchers, superintendent of the Rockwood School District in Eureka, Mo.
"All three are excellent," Fillauer told The Oak Ridger on Wednesday. "We could take any one of them."
The top choice of the three after the initial interview was Borchers. "But," the school board chair added, "we are not eliminating the other two."
Fillauer said Borchers and his family will revisit next week.
"They will get to see more of the city and we will learn more about them," he said.
Borchers, as well as Dale Lynch, superintendent of the Hamblen County Schools in Morristown, and Keith Rowland, superintendent of Shenandoah County Public Schools in Woodstock, Va., were interviewed this week.
They were chosen from a group of seven candidates who had been narrowed from a reported field of 78 applications submitted to Ray and Associates Inc., the Cedar Rapids, Iowa,-based professional search firm contracted by the schools.
The candidates are part of the second superintendent search conducted by Ray and Associates in the past year. The first process ended in December 2012, when two finalists withdrew their intentions and a third didn't get a second interview.
The school board started a national search for a new superintendent a year ago in April when superintendent Tom Bailey announced his retirement. Bailey retired on Dec. 31 after 10 years as the city's school chief.
During a January meeting, the school board hired former superintendent Robert Smallridge as an interim superintendent and Smallridge agreed to work through June 30.
Borchers has been the superintendent of schools for Rockwood School District since 2010 and served as associate superintendent of secondary schools in Anoka-Hennepin Schools, Coon Rapids, Minn., from 2008 to 2010.
Prior positions included that of principal, assistant principal, guidance counselor and physical education teacher.
The public may meet Borchers and his family — wife Shannon, and their two children — during a "meet and greet" event from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday in the Civic Center Social Room.
Beverly Majors can be contacted at (865) 220-5514.

Anyone here remember February 16, 2008? We do. We were still reeling from the fact that Angelina Jolie hadn't responded to the garbage bag of our hair that we had sent her for Valentine's Day. We'd been collecting it all year as a token of our love, and had our heart broken for the fourth year in a row by Mrs Brad Pitt.
Anyway, we thought we would get over our heartache the only way we know how: by sitting down to watch the Oil lose 4–2 to the Canucks. But rather than worsening our Jolie rejected mood, the Oil showed the start of the fire that has put them in this improbable playoff battle.
At the end of the game it descended into fight night as you can see in the video above. Everyone fought everyone. Gagner fought Kesler, Glencross fought Weaver, Stortini fought everyone that had a Canucks jersey. Cogliano wrestled with his good looks, MacT fought the urge to lace up the skates and go lay a beating on anyone who looked at him sideways.
The Oilers started something Feb. 16 that they need to continue tonight. The decided that they would not fade quietly into the night, that there was something worth fighting for: pride.
Fast forward a little over one month to tonight's game. The Oil are the only team between sixth and tenth with any momentum and they are fighting for the playoffs. If Gagner'll fight Kesler over pride, imagine what he'll do with his tiny stick for a playoff spot.
Yes on this first day of spring there are many things to look forward to: seeing our lawn again, American Idol, and of course Pokemon figurines. But there's also something much more important: the beating the Oilers are going to lay on the Canucks that started one month ago, continues tonight, and ends with the Oil in round one of the playoffs.
Its go time, lambs. Lock and load.

Via Technologies
Different Unichrome family display drivers
The VIA proprietary drivers
These are considered unstable and insecure. They are however the only way to get any form of 3D acceleration or even reliable modesetting on certain chipsets, and can be installed using the via-chrome9-dkms, xf86-video-via-chrome9 & via-chrome9-dri packages from the AUR.
The OpenChrome driver
The most advanced and developed driver for Unichromes. Supports CLE266, KM400/KN400/KM400A/P4M800, CN400/PM800/PN800/PM880, K8M800, CN700/VM800/P4M800Pro, CX700, P4M890, K8M890 and P4M900/VN896 chipsets. Accelerates 2D, 3D, Xvideo and mpeg2 decoding using XvMC. This driver is the only way to go if you want to be on the bleeding edge.
You can install the OpenChrome driver with command:
pacman -S xf86-video-openchrome
xorg.conf driver name is
Black screen when booting from LiveCD
If you experience a black screen when booting from Live-CD, place the following paramenter to the end of the kernel load options (please note that
nomodeset option probably won't work here)
After installing the system you'll need to blacklist
viafb module. Just create a file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf with the following line:
blacklist viafb
To enable any of the following options to fix issues, first create a new file 10-openchrome.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/:
Section "Device" Identifier "My Device Name" Driver "openchrome" EndSection
If your X-Server shows artifacts and fails to redraw some windows, try disabling the "EnableAGPDMA" option:
Option "EnableAGPDMA" "false"
If your machine freeze at startup (GDM) or after login (slim), try adding the XAA option "XaaNoImageWriteRect". Note that this only applies if you are using the XAA acceleration method (configured by the "AccelMethod" option). As of 0.2.906, the default acceleration method is EXA.
Option "XaaNoImageWriteRect"
If you experience significant CPU usage and low UI framerate, try adding:
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
Hardware Specific
VIA Technologies, Inc. CN896/VN896/P4M900 [Chrome 9 HC]
The EXA acceleration method may cause significant CPU usage and low UI framerate. Refer to the "AccelMethod" option in the #Troubleshooting section.
Unichrome and OpenGL
OpenGL support for Via's graphic chipsets is seriously outdated. At the moment you will not be able to run more fancy applications, games or compositing desktops like Compiz Fusion that rely on OpenGL as a backend, because the more recent OpenGL extensions are not yet supported in Unichrome 3D driver. You will be able to run simple OpenGL-applications though. The 3D driver for Unichrome is provided by the the DRI project.
Install unichrome-dri, libgl and mesa -packages to get OpenGL to work.
DPMS problems
If you experience problems with DPMS not turning off laptop's backlight, try adding:
Option "VBEModes" "true"
to the device section of
Hangup on exit
If your computer crashes when closing X, you may try not using vesa driver for kernel console. Just delete the vga stuff from kernel line on grub or append line on lilo.
