KMail2 doesn't store information in databases

Funnily enough, I don't see a big performance difference between the KMail of KDE 3.5 and that of KDE 4.x. (Actually, I'd expect my KDE 4.x KMail to be quite a bit faster than my KDE 3.5 KMail because it is running on a much beefier machine. Something must be eating up the difference, I wonder what that might be )
Posted Nov 25, 2011 21:49 UTC (Fri) by jospoortvliet (subscriber, #33164) [Link]
There are probably also still quite some opportunities for performance improvements since much of this is new while KMail1 had been optimized for years.
But essentially, there is no difference in KMail1 and KMail2 except that the backend of KMail1 is abstracted out and uses MySQL (or other backends, they are plugins after all) instead of a home-brewn solution.
Sounds like an improvement to me. I am very much aware that currently, it doesn't feel like that with the stability and esp performance issues and all, but a change for the good often consists of one step backwards, two steps forwards.

Presumably because BDB doesn't support SQL directly. You could try implementing an SQL engine on top of BDB but you would just be reinventing SQLite, which is essentially an SQL engine on top of BDB.

Introducing A.M.A. (Airsoft Megastore Armory) AEGs:Airsoft Megastore Armory AEGs are designed from the bottom up with one goal, to provide airsoft players with the most realistic and fully upgraded premium performance AEGs for the best price. We feel that we have succeeded in our mission with our line of full metal electric blowback, factory upgraded, and MOSFET enhanced AEGs.Our Airsoft Megastore Armory AEGs are a step above other AEGs on the market, providing a high degree of realism combined with superior accuracy, power, and range. We take such pride in our Airsoft Megastore Armory AEGs, that we have emblazoned the A.M.A. logo on each lower receiver. Each A.M.A. AEG is thoroughly inspected and tested to ensure the highest level of performance. Welcome to the Airsoft Megastore Armory, where serious airsoft players load up. Your weapon is waiting!AMR-4 A1:The AMR-4 A1 is based on the standard M4A1 platform, however it is anything but standard. With modern modifications and internal upgrades, the AMR-4 A1 truly stands out amongst other M4A1 AEGs. Featuring a rugged full metal body for an authentic feel, and a powerful electric blowback system, this AMR-4 A1 is one of the most realistic M4 AEGs on the market!Battle Ready Exterior:From the barrel to the buffer tube, the AMR-4 A1 is built from solid and extremely durable metal with a polymer handguard, motor grip and stock, similar to a standard M4. We have included a functional locking charging handle to provide quick and easy access to the hop up unit, and a functional bolt release that slams the mock bolt home when pressed. The rugged lower receiver features the exclusive A.M.A. logo as well as an individualized serial number. The full metal carry handle features a fully adjustable rear sight and is removable, exposing a long optics rail on top of the full metal upper receiver. Unlike standard M4 AEGs, the AMR-4 A1 features an ergonomic textured motor grip and a contoured trigger guard to relieve hand fatigue. The six position retractable nylon polymer stock is also ergonomically designed, with a rubber butt pad and larger cheek rest. It also features a small lower compartment for storing extra accessory batteries, and a bottom sling swivel. The overall external construction of this Airsoft Megastore Armory AMR-4 A1 AEG rivals top of the line AEGs, but with an exclusive and unique look that is sure to turn heads!Revolutionary Upgraded Internals:We have taken one of the best electric blowback Version 2 gearboxes on the market and further enhanced it by adding top of the line internal components as well as low resistance silver core wiring and an enhanced MOSFET! A MOSFET wired AEG for under $250.00 is virtually unheard of in the airsoft world, let alone an upgraded electric blowback full metal AEG! The Version 2 electric blowback gearbox features 7mm metal bearings, a bearing spring guide, a bearing piston head, a full metal air nozzle, and a powerful M120 spring! To enhance the range and accuracy of the AMR-4 A1, we also included a 6.03 stainless steel tight bore inner barrel, giving it pinpoint accuracy and making it easily capable of hitting targets at 150 feet! The electric blowback feature of the AMR-4 A1 is crisp and loud, and provides a small but noticeable amount of recoil which adds to the realistic feel and performance of this AEG. No other stock AEG on the market comes with all of these features and upgrades installed and ready to go right out of the box! The AMR-4 A1 truly is one of the most advanced AEGs available on the market, and priced well below most "premium" airsoft guns.Incredible Value:At Airsoft Megastore, we are committed to bringing you the best products on the market for the lowest possible price, which is why we developed our Airsoft Megastore Armory line of AEGs. Our A.M.A. AEGs built for high octane performance with an upgraded electric blowback gearbox, a factory installed MOSFET, a tight bore barrel, and full metal construction, and priced well below other "premium" AEGs.Features:- Full Metal Construction (with nylon polymer handguard, stock, & motor grip)- Electric Blowback Version 2 Full Metal Gearbox- Low resistance silver core wiring- Enhanced MOSFET installed- 6.03mm tight bore inner barrel- 7mm Gearbox bearings- Bearing spring guide & piston head- Functional, locking, charging handle and bolt release- One piece plastic hop-up- Detachable carry handle- Top optics rail on upper receiver- Front & rear sling mounts- Functional Safety- Individualized serial number laser engraved on each lower receiverTech Specs:Operation: Electric Automatic, Electric BlowbackBuild: Full metal body, full metal gearbox (polymer handguard, stock, & grip)Firing Modes: Semi-automatic and Full-automatic w/ BlowbackMuzzle Velocity: 360-380 FPS with 0.20g BBsMagazine: 300-round high capacity (gear wind-up)Gearbox: Full metal EBB Version 2Inner Barrel: 363mm, 6.03mm Tight BoreOuter Barrel Threading: CW (Clockwise)Battery Type: NiMH or LiPO Nunchuck BatteryHop-up: Adjustable Version 2 One PieceWeight: 6.7 poundsColor: Desert TanAmmo type: Seamless 0.20g or heavier (0.23g, 0.25g, 0.26g, 0.28g, etc) BBs.

CLICK HERE for our VB Power Battery & Smart Charger Combo Package!Package Includes: Rifle, instruction manual, 300-round high capacity magazine, Battery Charger Recommendation: Airsoft Megastore recommends the use of a smart charger to avoid overcharging the battery (overcharged batteries may cause decreased airsoft gun performance and may shorten battery life significantly). Smart chargers not only shorten charge time significantly (up to 800% faster charging), but more importantly, also automatically shut off once the battery is fully charged to avoid overcharged batteries.
"my brother got this gun and its amazing!! Pros: everything about it that is in the description is true!!!! Cons:to tell you the truth there is no cons. If you're willing to pay just $20 more then you should definitely go for the RIS version of this which is what i got. to jump from any standard m4 to the RIS version of that gun makes it at least $50 more except for this gun. Oh yeah, and if you went ahead and bought a different M4 for this price then you might need to go to the doctor to get your brain checked out"

Should LBJ Be Ranked Alongside Lincoln?
Robert Caro, the esteemed biographer of Lyndon Baines Johnson, talks on the Shakespearean life of the 36th president
- By Ron Rosenbaum
- Smithsonian magazine, May 2012, Subscribe
It has become one of the great suspense stories in American letters, the nonfiction equivalent of Ahab and the white whale: Robert Caro and his leviathan, Lyndon Baines Johnson. Caro, perhaps the pre-eminent historian of 20th-century America, and Johnson, one of the most transformative 20th-century presidents—in ways triumphant and tragic—and one of the great divided souls in American history or literature.
When Caro set out to write his history, The Years of Lyndon Johnson, he thought it would take two volumes. His new Volume 4, The Passage of Power, traces LBJ from his heights as Senate leader and devotes most of its nearly 600 pages to the first seven weeks of LBJ's presidency, concluding with his deeply stirring speeches on civil rights and the war on poverty.
Which means his grand narrative—now some 3,200 pages—still hasn't reached Vietnam. Like a five-act tragedy without the fifth act. Here's where the suspense comes in: Will he get there?
In 2009 Caro told C-Span's Brian Lamb that he had completed the stateside research on Vietnam but before writing about it, "I want to go there and really get more of a feel for it on the ground." Meaning, to actually live there for a while, as he'd lived in LBJ's hardscrabble Texas Hill Country while writing the first volume, The Path to Power.
Caro still plans to live in Vietnam, he told me when I visited him in his Manhattan office recently. He's 76 now. There has been an average of ten years between the last three volumes' appearances. You do the math.
I'm pulling for him to complete the now 30-year marathon, and the guy who met me at his Manhattan office looked fit enough for the ordeal of his work, more like a harried assistant prof at Princeton, where he studied. He was in the midst of frantically finishing off his galleys and chapter notes and told me he just realized he hadn't eaten all day (it was 4 p.m.), offered me a banana—the only food in the office—and when I declined, I was relieved to see, ate it himself. The man is driven.
Those who have thought of Caro as one of LBJ's harshest critics will be surprised at the often unmediated awe he expresses in this new book: "In the lifetime of Lyndon Johnson," he writes of LBJ's first weeks as president, "this period stands out as different from the rest, as one of that life's finest moments, as a moment not only masterful, but in its way, heroic."
But how to reconcile this heroism with the deadly lurch into Vietnam? I have my suspicions as to what he's going to do, and you might too when you get to the final page of this book where he writes, after paying tribute to this heroic period, about the return to the dark side, "If he had held in check those forces [of his dark side] within him, had conquered himself, for a while, he wasn't going to be able to do it for long."
"Do you mean," I asked him, "that the very mastery of power which he'd used for civil rights gave him the hubris to feel he could conquer anything, even Vietnam?"
"I'll have to take a pass on that," Caro said. He won't reveal anything until he writes it.
"But do you have the last sentence written?" I asked. He's said in the past he always writes the last sentence of a book before starting it. This would be the last sentence of the entire work, now projected to be five volumes.
To that he answers "yes." He won't, of course, say what it is.
Will that last sentence reveal a coherence in the portrait that he will have painted of LBJ's profoundly divided soul, a division that makes him such a great and mystifying character? Worthy of Melville. Or Conrad. Or will the white whale slip away into the heart of darkness that is Vietnam?
The new volume takes us back to where his last Pulitzer winner, the 1,200-page-long Master of the Senate, leaves off, with LBJ having, by sheer force of will and legislative legerdemain, coerced the obstructionist, racist-dominated Senate to pass the first civil rights bill since Reconstruction. It follows him through his strangely reticent, self-defeating attempt to win the Democratic nomination in 1960 (a window into an injured part of his psyche, Caro believes), portrays his sudden radical diminishment as vice president and sets up, as a dominant theme of the book, the bitter blood feud between LBJ and Robert F. Kennedy.

NO WAY! LBJ was an afront to all veterans. As a politician, LBJ wore a FAKE Silver Star that he forced the Army Air Corps to give him when he took one ride on a World War 2 bomber...that had mechanical problems and never even went on the bombing mission. He sometimes wore that Silver Star on his lapel as President.
Posted by Max Holt on August 12,2013 | 11:47 PM
LBJ should absolutely be considered amongst the greatest Presidents. Those who say otherwise have not read about the lives of the different Presidents. LBJ came from poverty and opened America up to ALL people. Whether JFK would have been able to pass the strong legislation that LBJ did is a question to which we will never know the answer. Certainly, the Kennedy aura helped LBJ. The people who simply look at Viet Nam and call LBJ a horrible President do so with a narrow focus. As the focus expands, so too, will LBJ's place as a great President.

I cannot beleive a man from Texas is responsible for the civil rights fiasco that wasted trillions on supposed equality and against poverty and we are now more impoverished than ever before! ,!!

I can't believe I just came across this ridiculous question, "Should LBJ be Ranked Alongside Lincoln". I'm flabbergasted that I even see such an idiotic question posted any place! Amazing! LBJ should have been locked in prison where he belonged. Where he would have rightly been if not for his interference and manipulation of political events. LBJ is without question, the worst President of my lifetime, a National embarrassment and fraud. One that has yet to be given his true place in history of scorn and disgust. I have faith that in time, even greater facts will be revealed implicating LBJ's crimes.

Lincoln did not start The civil War, he asked the south to stay in the union in his first Inaugural address. It was the south that started the war by firing on Ft. sumter, a FEDERAL FORT. Was Lincoln supposed to allow this treason to stand? That's ridiculous. Lincoln did not ruin limited government, just because he believed that slavery should not be allowed in the U.S.!! Sounds like we have some bizarre confederate sympathizers on here that have no historical clue!! South Carolina's Ordnance of secession, considered the Declaration of Indepence for the confederacy is rife with complaints about attacks on slavery and the rigghts of slaveholders, so don't bother us with the ignorant statements about how the confederacy wasn't fighting for slavery, but merely "states rights." They were happy with the federal govenment when the supreme court gave the south the Dred Scott decision, allowing slavery throught the country.Dred Scott case was opposed to state's rights, in that states were not to recognize any rights of slaves. The slaveholder's rights trumped state's rights, as a matter of U.S. constitutional law per the Dred Scott decision that the south so loved.

"...coerced the obstructionist, racist-dominated Senate to pass the first civil rights bill since Reconstruction." This is an incorrect statement. The first piece of civil rights legislation passed after Reconstruction was the Civil Rights Act of 1957, passed under the Eisenhower administration. It was voting rights legislation.

"he goes down to teach in this Mexican-American town, in Cotulla. ... I wrote the line [that] summed up my feelings: 'No teacher had ever cared if these kids learned or not. This teacher cared.'" Yes, no doubt all previous teachers before LBJ had been raving racists who did not care if their kids learned and that was why they went into teaching and worked all day at it for low pay.

Richard III; the evocation of LBJ.
Posted by Dr. Sandy Kramer on May 5,2012 | 07:58 AM
Reality differs, Ryan H... let me suggest that many Americans ARE IN poverty because of those two programs, not despite them. Thinking of the larger timeline, starting with a visit to the US Census Dept's website which points out that poverty has only increased despite (or because of?) those programs. I do believe in caring for the least of my brothers and prove it weekly/monthly by taking care of the poor both at home and abroad, but nanny states are the worst possible thing for human beings. We are meant to be living in harmony with the earth, not in some pre-packaged environment addicted to the filth offered by a broken state with corrupt politicians. That's no good. I applaud the author's multi-decade efforts but to label LBJ in a good light is harrowing.
Posted by Kure on May 4,2012 | 11:45 AM
There might be enough material on LBJ's long political history, including his tenure as President, to make an equivalently long biography as one on Lincoln. In that respect perhaps the biographers should be compared. But LBJ should not be esteemed alongside Lincoln for reasons other commentors have left here. Perhaps we do idolize Lincoln overly much, but having lived during LBJ's years I realize what this biographer is attempting to do is raise Johnson above the public's impression of him now that decades have passed. An objectionable effort.
Posted by R Burns on May 3,2012 | 07:13 PM
LBJ was a bully and a coward, two descriptions I've never heard applied to Lincoln. Many of LBJ's anti-poverty programs were thoughtlessly planned wastes of money that destroyed families, and his failure to stand up to the generals over Vietnam cost an untold number of lives. I commend Caro on his historical research. Such books are needed. But let's not compare LBJ to Lincoln.
Posted by Gregory Urbach on May 3,2012 | 06:39 PM
I think LBJ is unfairly villainized. While his foreign policy was terrible and should be criticized, he did wonders for many Americans with his domestic policies and for that he deserves recognition.
Posted by Alana Nora on April 25,2012 | 02:38 PM
Excuse me, but rating Lincoln and Johnson IS correct. Both were political opportunists. Both had opportunities to improve the nation. Lincoln kept blacks in the Union slaves, while freeing only those in the rebellious states. Lincoln played 'general' while ignoring the best military advice. And Johnson? There is not space to list 'landslide' Lyndon's accomplishments which were a direct result of political opportunity. He cared not one bit for the black man, only for that which would benefit him. Yes, rate them the same. But Lincoln deserves no high place in history.

Thanks! I might have had a stroke of genius.... My best friend of 12 years name is Martha, which I would love to use to honor her. I am thinking possibly Christine as a middle, (a nod to one of my favorite books by Gaston Leroux.) So Martha Christine, "Marcy."
I also really like Marchelline, but would like to know more about its history. It sounds very French, which we probably couldn't pull off since there is no French ancestry in our family tree.Raphael David

Several things drive these critics. One of the main complaints was the requirement that the state Legislature has to come up with the money to cover the shortfall when investment returns are not up to expectations. Legislators never want to face that order, and in times like these when there is little money for anything, they want to do it even less.
Today, that criticism has begun to wane a bit if for no other reason than returns on RSA investments in recent months are running ahead of the national average. However, the critics also have quieted because Bronner has done what any smart CEO must do — he has opened lines of communication with those who have questioned how he invests. In the process, he has been able to reach an understanding with them.
For example, he went along with and helped shape the recently passed pension program for new state hires that will save money in the long run. After years of working with Democrats, Bronner has shifted gears and is cooperating with House Speaker Mike Hubbard, R-Auburn, and Senate Budget Committee Chairman Trip Pittman, R-Daphne, in an effort to get them to understand what the RSA does.
He also has hired former U.S. Attorney Leura Canary as his deputy director. Canary is the wife of William Canary, president of the Business Council of Alabama and a powerful force in the state Republican Party.
More than anything, Bronner has been able to convince many of the Republicans who are now running the state that one of the reasons some of his investments did not do as well in recent years was that he was investing in Alabama businesses — and Alabama businesses, by and large, did not do well over that period.
This is a message the Legislature needs to hear.
According to Keivan Deravl, an economist at Auburn University at Montgomery, the RSA invests 10 percent of its funds in Alabama businesses. Over the last 20 years, the total investment in the state has been $5.6 billion. The RSA has provided business loans, bought hotels and office buildings and built golf courses that it promoted from Florida to Michigan with free advertising through TV stations and newspapers in which it also invested. During that period, the RSA generated $1.1 billion in tax revenue for the state.
Last year, RSA investments were responsible for 4,332 in-state jobs and a payroll of $153 million, according to a report by University of Alabama economists Samuel Addy and Ahmad Ijaz.
In short, when it comes to job creation and economic stimulation, Alabama legislators should look more closely at what David Bronner and the RSA investments have done for the state. They also should consider supporting him more and criticizing him less.
Perhaps that's already happening. The other day, Speaker Hubbard told the Associated Press, "I'm very pleased with how Dr. Bronner has worked with us and addressed our concerns." Sen. Pittman added, "I think he's the best person to work these investments and generate the best returns."
This page agrees. Perhaps the Legislature should follow Bronner's example and do a bit more investing in Alabama.

Vol. 16 : No. 3< >
STATE AND INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGEWorld Bank's Global Development Learning Network: Sharing Knowledge Electronically Between Nations to "Fight Poverty"George LorenzoColleges and universities with strategic plans or serious intent to take their research and expertise to the developing world and beyond, as well as become part of some meaningful knowledge-sharing with other institutions and organizations across the globe, can look into the possibility of doing business with the World Bank's Global Development Learning Network (GDLN). GDLN operates one of the largest, most sophisticated and cost-effective satellite-driven global communication systems to cross international borders. Building DLCs In addition, GDLN is quickly building a large worldwide network of independently owned and operated Distance Learning Centers (DLCs) that are being utilized by private and public organizations and institutions. DLCs typically consist of a multimedia room with computers with high-speed ISDN or fiber-linked Internet access, along with a videoconference room equipped to receive and deliver learning programs around the globe, all capable of connecting to the GDLN global communications system. These DLCs are the hubs for teaching and learning, providing the classroom facilities for holding far-reaching distance education and knowledge-sharing programs. Since launching in June 2000, GDLN has helped to build and/or established partnerships with 31 DLCs located in six regions: Africa, East Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, and North America. Eighteen of these centers have been financed in poor countries through no-interest loans sponsored by the World Bank. The remaining DLCs are within institutions and organizations that already have the facilities and technological infrastructure for connecting to GDLN. The distance education programs being offered over the network include web-based courses, seminars and workshops by video conference, and learning activities that are a combination of both web and video conferencing. Printed materials, CD-ROMs, and/or face-to-face instruction often complement many of the programs. More than 80 percent of the programs are offered by the World Bank Institute (WBI), which is the learning arm of the World Bank. However, according to the GDLN website, "GDLN carries learning programs drawn from a variety of public and private sources. They cover the full range of development issues from AIDS education to anticorruption strategies, from environmental compliance and enforcement to business journalism, and from macroeconomic policy to urban development." "It's quite a large network and it's growing even farther," says WBI's Director of Global Learning John Middleton. "The size of the network is such that there's a huge opportunity for institutions to use the network to provide learning programs, and the use of the network is very low cost." As an example, Middleton explained that it would cost about $2,000 for two hours of video conferencing transmitted to five DLCs located around the world with an approximate total of 150 classroom participants or more. A Worthy Vision As stated on the GDLN website, the organization's vision "is for decision makers across the developing world to have affordable and regular access to a global network of peers, experts and practitioners with whom they may share ideas and experience that will help them in their work: to fight poverty." The audience for GDLN programs is primarily adult professionals who are "senior policy makers and decision makers who work in institutions and are in a position to effect change in their country," says Joan Hubbard, WBI's senior partnership specialist for the Global Learning Department. Altruistic Propensities For the time being, GDLN's partners are not involved in the program for monetary value, but instead have altruistic propensities to help developing countries fight poverty and share in a truly global exchange of valuable information. However, partners do see working with GDLN as a beneficial process to test market their learning programs to different cultures and find out what kinds of knowledge can really be shared with developing countries. Additionally, involvement with GDLN helps institutions and organizations build international contacts and relationships that they may not have had the opportunity to develop otherwise. Plus, says Middleton, "you don't have to erect infrastructure because the infrastructure is already there." North American institutions, for the most part, have been slow to react to GDLN. Part of the reason why is that, during its beginning phase, GDLN built relationships with WBI's already well-established partners in foreign countries who had an interest in distance education, says Middleton. Additionally, "the Europeans (for example), are more centralized and better able to make the link between the government and higher education. In the decentralized environment inside the United States it is a little more difficult to mobilize the kind of support for the institutions that we have been able to achieve in other countries." As a possible spur to action, Middleton mentions that U.S. colleges and universities could try contacting the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to possibly obtain financing for the development and delivery of U.S. higher education's knowledge base through the GDLN's DLCs to enhance development assistance and knowledge sharing with foreign countries. University of Alberta Taps CIDA In Canada, for instance, the Canadian Industrial Development Agency (CIDA) recently contributed $5 million (Canadian) to the University of Alberta (UA) to help set up a DLC in Bosnia under GDLN. The new center, which brings in a partnership with the University of Sarajevo, will initially offer distance learning programs that focus on public and private-sector business management issues in the Balkans. "From CIDA's point of view it is a vehicle to do development in a slightly different way," says Terry Mackey, UA's Director of International Programs. "We made the approach to CIDA," Mackey continues. "It's something that we put into a proposal to CIDA, and they accepted it. I think they see the potential for using electronic learning in international development work." Since UA has a major strategic initiative and commitment to the internationalization of its educational programs and research, GDLN brings an added dimension to help facilitate joint programming, says Mackey. "We see the possibilities for two-way processes. . . There is a lot of debate and discussion going on globally, and the potential for actually getting the researchers who are right at the front of the debate in contact with policy makers through video conferencing has enormous potential. So, from a university point of view, it is actually using what we do well, which is our research agenda, and making it more accessible to a much wider range of people." U.S. On Board Institutions in the U.S. are also staring to see the potential. "As soon as we start talking about the benefits of bringing some global experience into their domestic programs, the lights go on," Hubbard says. "We recognize that institutions, particularly in the states, have to cover their costs, and we work very hard with them to ensure that they understand that they are not going to recover their costs in their first offering. But, if they look at this as a long-term relationship over a couple of years, they are going to more than cover their costs," she claims, adding that institutions will reap the benefits of participating in content building activities that will eventually gain acceptance over a wider worldwide network. "They (U.S. institutions) also know that we are the cheapest game in the international town. There is nowhere else they are going to reach these countries at rates that are as reasonable as our's." MSU Moving Forward Once such institution that is investing in the future of GDLN is Michigan State University (MSU). Through MSU's relatively new Global Online Connection unit, three worthwhile distance learning programs are currently being developed for broadcast over the GDLN: a series of video conferences on the safety of organic foods, and two 16-week online courses, one in watershed concepts and another in international food law. "All three programs have research projects internationally," says Chris Geith, director of MSU's Global Institute. "MSU has faculty exchanges with many universities around the world in these areas." MSU has one of the largest programs in international studies in the country and is noted for being (among a long list of international education and research accomplishments) the largest recipient of USAID funding since the 1950s, as well for sending the largest number of students abroad from any single campus in the United States. The planned watershed course, for example, will be taught by an international faculty, and it consists of local case studies and data collections from regions outside of the U.S. "We are not just exporting MSU research and knowledge to GDLN emerging countries," says Geith. "We are looking to use the network as a catalyst to work more closely with the researchers and scholars and officials in those topic areas that we already have going." Howard University Joins Network of Networks This same practice holds true for Howard University, which is the home base for the first U.S. GDLN DLC. In May of last year the Howard University College of Medicine, under the sponsorship of USAID and in partnership with a youth-led non-governmental organization called The African Futures Forum, along with the National Council of Negro Women, convened the first U.S.-university-based GDLN video-conference event, called the Global Youth Health Teleconference (GYHT). GYHT went over the GDLN bridge to DLCs in Benin, Uganda, Ghana and Senegal, Africa. GYHT brought together more than 400 young people over the network who took part in a dialog on youth and HIV/AIDS, Women and HIV/AIDS, and Child Survival in their respective countries. Luigi LeBlanc, technology coordinator for Howard University's Telehealth Sciences and Advanced Technology Center, says that the university's College of Medicine has historically built relationships and partnerships around institutions in the Caribbean and in Africa. "The GDLN presents a cost-effective venue to provide continual training and to actually reach these partners in real time, and we have been able to, through this venture, gain new partners," says LeBlanc. "The university here is preparing its staff to offer their expertise through this network. We are partnering with institutions to help put out programs that build on GDLN's concept of building a network of networks." Extensive Needs What kind of learning programs is the network seeking? GDLN Program Development Manager Claude Salem has put together an informational table representing the strategic priorities needed for building capacity for development in countries with DLCs. The table is divided into six broad categories of need: poverty reduction, economic management and financial sector development; governance and public sector reform; social sector and human development; environmental and rural development; private sector development; and other. "I think U.S. institutions can contribute quite a bit since the areas in development are areas that are represented in their disciplines," says Salem. "It's just a matter of how to package the material and how to make clients aware of the relevance of the materials." "There are some areas that market very well," adds Middleton, pointing to learning programs in business management, health policy and education policy. Colleges and universities with an international dimension to such programs could be considered good candidates for a GDLN partnership. "We are as open and broad and as wide in our interests as possible," says Hubbard. "You never know where there is going to be a good opportunity for content." Growth Plans Overall, according to an excerpt from the GDLN annual report for fiscal year 2001, the World Bank, with more than 100 offices located throughout the world, "gave enhanced visibility and support to GDLN in their operational planning." Plans call for 27 more DLCs in fiscal year 2002, with a projected grand total of 80 DLCs on board by end of fiscal year 2003. "If secondary sites are included (national network sites linked to GDLN through the DLCs), the number of locations reached is expected to more than double that number (equaling 160) by the end of fiscal year 2003."

A Willits man was arrested after allegedly breaking a Laytonville man's arm just after 6 p.m. July 5. The assault occurred on the 1000 block of Creekside Court in Laytonville.
The victim, Gordon Robert Watts Jr., 31, told deputies he saw Joseph Henry Mendoza, 19, smashing his truck and motorcycle with a baseball bat. The two vehicles were parked in front of Watts' Creekside Court residence. When Watts confronted Mendoza about the vandalism, Mendoza allegedly turned on Watts. Watts told deputies Mendoza hit him in the arm with the bat, breaking his left forearm.
Watts was treated for the broken arm at Frank R. Howard Memorial Hospital. Mendoza was later arrested on suspicion of violating probation, assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism. He posted bail and was released the next day. Charges are being reviewed by the Mendocino County District Attorney's Office. An August 6, court hearing is scheduled on the probation violation.
Deputies believe the assault may have been related to Watts' prior dating relationship with Mendoza's sister.
Mendoza has assaulted someone with a baseball bat before. In June 2011, he beat another man with an aluminum bat on South Lenore Avenue in Willits. That victim was hit on his left arm, head and torso with the bat. Witnesses told police at that time Mendoza had shouted gang epithets during the beating. Mendoza denied any gang affiliation.
Mendoza, according to court records, was allowed to plead no-contest for this incident to a misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon.

There is some description of linux keys in LoadKeys and MissingKeys.
What this document describes is how to add keys to the linux console, that linux knows nothing about
If you run the program dumpkeys, it will display your current keyboard configuration – probably in a format that you don't understand.
I personally configured my keyboard to use the meta keys as meta. They look like <> (a diamond) so I changed my entire configuration a lot.
I still use A-Fn to switch between VTs so I wanted M-Fn to produce something I could use in emacs.
Linux does now know anything about a meta key, but it has eight control keys, so I used shiftl to represend meta.
So here is my configuration for F1:
keycode 59 = F1 F1 Console_13 F1 alt keycode 59 = Console_1 control alt keycode 59 = Console_1 shiftl keycode 59 = F41 # Emacs Meta F1
The first line says that key with code 65 (F1) is F1 (the following "F1 Console_13 F1" doesn't matter, really). The next line says that A-F1 is VT 1 and the third says that C-A-F1 is VT 1. On the other hand the fourth line says that M-F1 is F41.
My meta keys return codes 124 and 126 (left and right), so I bound them to shiftl and used that as meta:
keycode 124 = ShiftL keycode 126 = ShiftL
Now, linux configures the Fn keys to be a string, and there is a default string for F1 - F20, as so:
string F1 = "\033[[A" : : string F20 = "\033[34~"
What I did was to create a string for M-Fn, and bind that to other Fn keys, and I started with F41, so I could just add 40 to the F number to get meta Fn:
string F41 = "\033[\033[[A" # Emacs Meta F1 string F42 = "\033[\033[[B" # Emacs Meta F2 string F43 = "\033[\033[[C" # Emacs Meta F3 string F44 = "\033[\033[[D" # Emacs Meta F4 string F45 = "\033[\033[[E" # Emacs Meta F5 string F46 = "\033[\033[17~" # Emacs Meta F6 string F47 = "\033[\033[18~" # Emacs Meta F7 string F48 = "\033[\033[19~" # Emacs Meta F8 string F49 = "\033[\033[20~" # Emacs Meta F9 string F50 = "\033[\033[21~" # Emacs Meta F10 string F51 = "\033[\033[23~" # Emacs Meta F11 string F52 = "\033[\033[24~" # Emacs Meta F12
These are strings I chose, so you don't have to use the same strings, just be careful not to use strings that conflict with anything else.
Emacs can then be configured to treat these strings as a key or keybinding, such as M-Fn.
An obscure feature of Emacs can be used to get even more keys on the console – I use this to turn the windows keys on my keyboard into Hyper and Super modifier keys.
Here is the trick:
basically, if you hit C-h c followed by C-x@ha you will see that emacs knows that as a key prefix. In fact the above is hyper-a to emacs. similarly, you can prouce all the other modifiers as shown in the list below with C-x@ as the common prefix:
In fact the above is part of the raw keyboard translation and is meant for use in environments where the keyboard is incapable of producing the appropriate modifier bit.
So using all that has been said on this thread so far plus the above, you can get many more keys on your emacs keyboard!
I'm typing this on an 88 key hackers wireless keyboard, and in addition to the windows keys being hyper and super modifiers respectively, I also have the following:
(note that alt above is different and distinct from meta.

Tom Fields North Gallery July 18 - September 18, 2011 file:////maindc/users/gphillips/PDFs%2067/Capitol%20Art/Tom_Fields_North_Gallery_2011.html[9/28/2012 4:25:37 PM] Tom Fields Water Drums by Tom Fields Tom Fields Nativescapes - A View From the Interior North Gallery - July 18 - September 18, 2011 July 21, 2011 Documentary photographer Tom Fields began his exhibiting career in 1979 at the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa when two of his photographs became the first ever to be accepted into the annual Indian Art Exhibition. At that time, photography was not looked on as a serious "Indian art" medium. Since then, Fields' work has helped change that outlook for photography as a form of art in American Indian culture. Fields explains that his photography is about producing images that are both creative and realistic and are inspired by "the emotional landscapes of Native people." He says, "I'm always looking for those personal moments when people share hope and are expressing and living their culture." This aim is illustrated here in Nativescapes - A View From the Interior. For this exhibit, Fields has compiled photographs from several years of working within the Native American community. The images provide a visual definition of what it means to be Native American in Oklahoma. Fields says, "To accurately portray Native people, one must understand the soul of what makes them persevere. For me, it's being able to experience the depth of the culture, which is more than just artifacts, art, or dance; it's the everyday movements of life such as the dinners, adoptions, naming, and family ceremonies." Many of the photographs in this exhibit portray specific moments of spiritual and cultural expression. "These take many forms for Native people, as each tribe and family had to determine the best path for their wellbeing and survival," says Fields. "You can't dream these images up in your head and give it a title, one has to be present to experience the moment, then make the photograph." Fields was born in Tahlequah and now resides in Stillwater where works as a photojournalist and video producer for the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technical Education. Fields was educated in film by the Community Film Workshop Council in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He also studied art at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah. Since he began exhibiting in 1979, Fields has become widely recognized for his exhibits and projects. In just the past decade, Fields' art has been featured at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe; the National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Capitol Exhibitions The Capitol is home to four art galleries, exhibiting works of current and past Oklahoma artists. East Gallery North Gallery Governor's Gallery Betty Price Gallery About the North Gallery Located on the first floor of the Capitol, the North Gallery features photography and works on paper by current Oklahoma artists.
