1971 Present: H. N. G. Fernando, C. J., and Sirimane, J.
G. E. PITTER, Petitioner, and D. DAHANAYAKE(President, Labour Tribunal) and 3 others, Respondents
S.C. 859/70-Application for a Mandate in the nature of a Writ
of Certiorari and/or Mandamus
Industrial Disputes Act-Application under s. 31 B-Service of notice to a party-Procedure when notice sent by registeredpost
is not served-Industrial Disputes Regulations, Regulation 18.
Where an application for relief under section 31B of the Industrial Disputes Act was dismissed by the Labour Tribunal onthe
ground that the applicant was not present on the day of inquiry, after a notice sent byregisteredposttotheapplicant
about the date of inquiry had been returned undelivered to the office of the Tribunal-
Held, that, when a notice sent to a person by registered post is not delivered, the Secretary oftheTribunalhasaduty
under Regulation 36 of the Industrial Disputes Regulations to cause thenoticetobeaffixedattheentrancetothat
person's last known place of abode. It is only if a person fails to appear after notice is effected by that method, thatthe
Tribunal may be entitled to deal with his matter in his absence.
APPLICATION for a Writ of Certiorari and/or Mandamus.
W. E. M. Abeysekera, with M. W. Amerasinghe, for the petitioner.
K. P. V. Karunaratne, Crown Counsel, for the 2nd respondent.
June 13, 1971. H. N. G. Fernando, C. J.-
The present petitioner had made an application to the Labour Tribunal under Section 31 (b) of theIndustrialDisputesAct.
The matter Was apparently taken up for inquiry, and the Tribunal thereafter made the following Order : -
" The notice sent to the Applicant not being served it has been returned to the office. On the day of InquirytheApplicant
was not present before the Tribunal.
The application is dismissed."
As stated in the Order itself, it would appear that notice of the date fixed for hearing of the Petitioner's applicationhad
not in fact been served on the Petitioner. The file of the Tribunal shows that anoticesentbyregisteredposttothe
Petitioner had been returned undelivered to the office of the Tribunal.
The relevant provision as to the service of such notices is contained in Regulation 36 oftheregulationsmadeunderthe
Act. Regulation 36 provides that the service on a person of any notice,summons......................................under
the Act shall beeffectedbyhandorbyregisteredpostorbyaffixingsuchnotice,
summons...................................... at the entrance to his last known place of abode.
The third method of service prescribed in Regulation 36 is one which is prescribed in several other contexts instatutelaw
as an alternative to direct service, in cases where direct service is not possible. It seems to us that whenanoticesent
by registered post is not delivered, the Secretary of the Tribunal has a duty to cause the notice to be served by thisthird
method. It is only if a person fails to appear after service is effected by that method, that the Tribunalmaybeentitled
to deal with the matter in the absence of that person.
The Order dismissing the Petitioner's application is set aside. The Tribunal will take necessarystepstofixadateof
hearing, after notice to the proper parties, and to inquire into the Petitioner's original application.
Sirimane, J.-I agree.
Order set aside:

Easy one for ya,
pros cons, yes no?
Right - complain!
I should add my dad ALWAYS taught adjunct at local community colleges, even when he was a Full Professor elsewhere. It is good extra money. Again, maybe it is where we are. The Community College system here is excellent. The adjuncts who didn't teach elsewhere who teach here tend to be in specific arenas like Accounting, Marketing, Legal, etc, where your real life experience would be as helpful as a PhD in a specific teaching discipline. You don't find too many English or, say, Sociology professors here for instance who aren't professors for a living.
There's a UC I might look into depending on how this situation pans out on monday. But besides that I already drive 30 minutes one way, and its the closest one. There are a couple over an hour, but thats a bit much. And like I said, I adore the department head, he teachs my other class and he's probably one of the best I've had. This lady though man, I swear she was looking for something that wasn't there and now I've got dramaz to deal with.
I'm sorry to say it Chickaa, but it sounds like your profs also have "dramaz" to deal with. Getting into it with your teachers and having an attitude... not very cool. I hope things go better with your dept head.
IF they are qualified, I"m all for it. If they're not as good as a faculty member, no.
Mind your own vagina, thanks. -ThisCharmingMaman
I'm sorry to say it Chickaa, but it sounds like your profs also have "dramaz" to deal with. Getting into it with your teachers and having an attitude... not very cool. I hope things go better with your dept head.
Yay awesome a ASSumption!
As a person in the phases of becoming an adjunct professor, I am hoping to not suck :)

"Being a mom has made me so tired. But so happy." ~Tina Fey
The thing about some community colleges is that they don't require all adjuncts to have master's degrees. I don't know about you, but I typically don't consider someone to be an expert on a matter if they only have a bachelors degree. With the exception of if they have many, many years of experience or it is a highly specified area that may not have a master's degree available. The university I work at will not accept anyone to teach unless they have a minimum of a master's degree.

Embroidery worked with loosely twisted yarn, called crewel, is known as crewelwork. Also known as "worsted" yarn, crewel was widely available in England by the seventeenth century, when favorable agricultural conditions produced robust sheep capable of growing the longer strands of wool required for this yarn. American crewelwork was inherited from Jacobean England. While the embroidery is generally less dense than that of English prototypes, English patterns were perpetuated in American designs. Coastal New England was the center of crewelwork activity on this side of the Atlantic. The needlewomen of New England purchased their yarn, as well as the fabric on which they embroidered, from England and generally followed English needlework styles. Crewelwork motifs were derived from painted and printed cottons imported into England from India during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Typical crewelwork designs showed flowering trees rising from delineated hills, as in this eighteenth-century example made in Massachusetts. Exotic birds in scroll-like branches were also popular, as were floral sprays scattered irregularly upon the ground fabric, which was usually of linen plain-weave. This crewel-embroidered valance retains the luxuriant character of Indian designs in the forms of the exotic trees and in the rich combination of brilliant colors. Crewelwork decorated counterpanes (bedspreads), hangings for four-poster beds, valances for windows, chair coverings, or curtains for the home.

You've likely heard that a picture is worth a thousand words, and when it comes to creating source citations in your family tree, it is so true.
We have recently added the ability to associate pictures and scanned documents to source citations you have created in your family tree:
- Birth Certificates
- Death Certificates
- Marriage Certificates
- Headstones
- Obituaries
- Immigration & Emigration records
- Court, Land, Wills & Financial records
- Newspaper clippings
- Etc.
These items not only add color and interest to your work, but also help to document your work and show off your evidence and sources.
Here is how it can work for you. Say you have an event in your timeline that doesn't have a source. In this case I have an "illness" event in my timeline for John Kennedy.
I can select a media file I've uploaded, and use that to create a source citation for this event.
The image then becomes the beginning of a source citation that I can apply to the "illness" event on my timeline.
Then when others look to see how I know this information about John Kennedy, they will see the scanned image I uploaded. You can also add media to the source citation directly from this page.
An additional change we made is to show all source citations on the overview section of the person profile, rather than just the attached historical records from Ancestry.com The goal with this change is to make it more clear what evidence supports the facts in the timeline. We've received some early feedback on this that raises concerns on the implementation, and so we are reviewing this section and will update you on changes we make to it.
Also a few folks have mentioned that URLs in sources are not working as they were before–we are now aware of this bug and are working on a fix.

[…] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Ancestry.com and Gould Genealogy, Melisa Scheerle. Melisa Scheerle said: RT @Ancestrydotcom: Link photos to sources in your family tree http://bit.ly/aAeeEn […]
Ancestry, the image distortion needs to be fixed.
"…URLs in sources are not working as they were before…"
I HOPE you are refering to source URL's not being hyperlinked and not the problem with certain URL's being rejected.
Not hyperlinking source links is just unfathomable.
Thanks Kenny…that's encouraging…and I hope those god-awful-looking URL's can be abbreviated like they are in the forum. That works pretty well.
Is it possible to do this in Family Tree Maker?
This may not be the "improvements" you are discussing but…Who dreamed up this new horrible "source citation" format on the profile sheets? Now we are back again to have to "click" and "click" and "click", hust to get to the Census record which we were able to get to in one click before. Why can't ancestry.com leave some things alone and fix things that really need to be fixed. E.g., for MONTHS now, on ancestry.de (the German ancestry site), your program does not accept the months being written in German. It keeps saying that such months do not exist. Don't create a German ancestry site, if your software people are not smart enough to realize that people are going to be writing in German on those sites. I was told weeks ago that this would be fixed, but, as of last night, your computer programmers were not smart enough to fix that. But, here you have to come up with a "cutsie" format change to look at a Census record. I love ancestry.com for many reasons, but I hate your programmears sick need to fix what is not broken and not fix what is!
I hope someone is still checking the posts on:
"Updated new search homepage, place pages, recent searches & recently viewed collections"
Bee Re:#8
I let Laura know last night about the "Read More" link being missing from her latest Blog article.
You can still read it and post to it if you click the link to it that is in the "Latest Blog Articles" on your home page.
Hi Andy, I had no problem finding the blog, I was just wondering if someone was still monitoring it, and paying attention to the posts about "Source Citation". Since Laura replied to #50, it appears that she is reading the posts, so that's a good thing!
I just checked my trees and the problem I wrote about persists: "I don't know what is going on. I'm trying to view a 1910 {or 20, or 30} census from the "Source Citation", and it keeps bringing up the 1880 census!"
Is it just me, or are others having the same problem?
Bee Re:#10
When you say "view from the Source Citation" which Source Citation link are you using?
1). The one in the timeline across from the Time
line event name?
2). The one under the "Source Citations" box in the sidebar?
3). The one on the second page after you click the one in the sidebar?
4). The View Image Button on the second page?
Try each one and see if the results are different. That may be a clue as to what the problem is.
Thanks for your help Andy – lol! NEVER thought to scroll down to see that every document is now shown on a second page! but instead of going right to the record, there is still an extra "click".
Yes, I can go right to the individual records by clicking on the Timeline list. Oh well, live and learn! :-[
I like it. After adding photo's to some of the timelines it makes the profile so much more interesting to read as well as view. Now I have to get pictures of some residences and Churchs.
Is there a way to store in alphabetical or date order photos and documents saved to the Media Gallery? If not, would you please consider making this change? No information is available in search support.
Source Citations Change: We understand how to source our evidence, so I am not impressed with the redundant changes to Source Citations. And there's the new glitch of unwanted added steps, for example, when you select 1930 US Federal Census, you get the entire source citations page where you can happily scroll through all sources, find your selection, now you can open it. If this is a permanent change to source citations, please use a smaller font. My source citation preference is the compact source citations list alongside the Timeline Event.
have added media to a Marriage Fact, and it appears only on the husband's page. i thought it would appear on both husband & wife's Marriage Fact.
are you going to tell me i have to attach the image also to the wife's profile and then select it as media on her marriage fact? well, i'm not gonna do that.
when i save a marriage source citation, the source is placed to both husband & wife Marriage Fact. even the census does this automatically.
Ancestry, wouldn't you want the same thing to happen with media?
Remember, when you are adding Media your are adding it for the event in that person's timeline, not to the event as a whole.
In the case of a marriage I can see adding a media file that shows the Bride and her bridesmaids to her marriage event and a media file showing the Groom and his groomsmen to his event. If you had only a picture of the bride and added it to her marriage event would you really want that picture showing in his timeline as well?
May I ask two questions?
What about media/citations we've already entered? For example, I have already uploaded a lot of birth certificates are images and also added the citation/source… do I have to delete the ones I've already done and restart the process, or is there some way of linking the images with the citations already in my tree?
What about media that isn't photos? For example, a lot of Australia's military records are quite long so I turn them into pdfs… can you create a citation from a non-image media file?
With thanks,
Ignore my questions – found the answers 🙂
This looks great! Thank you!
I should second Jeff's comment – this is a great idea Kenny. With thanks to you and your team.
(Oh how I wish it had been put in place 6 months ago when I first started though so I didn't now have to go over all my inputted citations and match them up to their matching media files)
Andy Hatchett @16, thanks Andy, with your rationale i can concede to your logic.
wishing to continue discussion for a brief moment, about the specific fact "Marriage" as it is the only fact that i have used which links two people together for the marriage event.
if there were a photo of the groom & his groomsmen, maybe those photos would be more properly placed on an individual Fact such as Wedding Reception, or Rehearsal Dinner, or for the bride a Bridal Shower, or events that occurred on honeymoon, etc. as a separate Fact on each person's profile.
BUT…then again…i so see, as i am sure you see too, as wide a variety of documentation methods as there are people researching. Peace. Diane
Barker Re:#21
But suppose those pictures weren't taken at a Wedding reception,Rehearsal Dinner, or Bridal Shower but at the actual wedding ceremony?
Agree with Baker comment #2, the distortion/stretching of an image is annoying. I find it only happens for me with a very small newspaper clipping.
Another major problem with the new citation format is the lack of formatting capability for the "note" entries. Anything entered there now gets jumbled together without even recognizing paragraph breaks.
As the "actual text" block recognizes paragraph formatting already, hopefully this won't be a big deal in implementing it for the "notes" block as well.
Now I can't edit Source Citations on the SOURCE CITATIONS page under the FACTS AND SOURCES tab. This is the page with list of Source Citations that is also linked to from the Tree person Overview page right sidebar.
The Edit Citation links are gone.
The only remaining links are "View Record" and "View Image", the text no longer wraps, and the table height has been increased by about 30 carriage returns per Citation.
What gives, people, this is all backwards.
Links to individual source-citation page, from the full-list source citation page, have been restored.
Thank you.
The media from changing family tree over the years and not bringing the media over at the same time now has all the pictures with the wrong people. Isthere an easy fix for this where I don't have to delete each one and put it back in?
I guess some will be happy that now the Individual Overview sidebar list of sources shows when Trees are sources.
But with rollout of the 15 July changes to the source and source-citation listings in Member Trees, you have begun promulgating a lie.
Under the heading of type of Tree items copied to some individual's profile you say "X citations provide evidence for (name here)."
This is simply false.
In nearly every case this copied tree stuff is there for the very reason that the clickophile ~does not have evidence~ for what is asserted — copies of "stories" (most of which are significantly or wholly untrue) and photos excepted.
Repeat: tree stuff is copied due to lack of evidence. Not ~as~ evidence.
Extremely few trees contain references to any evidence at all.
You really should change the wording of this disingenuous false assertion in the Source Citation listing.
It should say something like "Trees contain assertions about (name here)."
Jade: Re #28
Absolutely, Positively, Correct!
In the past we've all seen instances of Ancestry's sloppy use of language (think "census substitute", etc) which has been, at times, somewhat more than misleading but this one outdoes them all!
I wonder if Ancestry is trying to promote trees from being merely hints to being actual evidence?
If so, then color me out of here for good!
Jade Re: #28
Perhaps it could say: Trees-proceed at your own risk. 🙂
#29 (Andy), #30 (Virginia)–
I suspect these folks have been reading the AncestryInsider blog. The blogger there, a former employee of Ancestry.com and now employed within the LDS enterprise, has been constructing a model for handling genealogical data for software developers.
He has been trying to develop a model relevant for both LDS' "newFamilySearch Tree" as well as for Ancestry.com.
Both tree setups have the same sorts of major flaws, principally that neither one is mainly based on evidence.
The "newFamilySearch" genealogical entries are based mostly on, as AI said in June, 2010 ("Close But No Cigar"):
" . . . oodles of worthless, source-less, secondary informational, derivative sources: Ancestral File, Pedigree Resource File, and user-submissions to the International Genealogical Index."
The Ancestry.com trees are based on the same plus additional genealojunk (such other trees, sundry genealogies, assertions on various websites, queries in newsletters).
The LDS newFamilySearch enterprise is having a hard time acknowledging and coping with the flaws in its database. Attempts to implement ways to make evidence-based corrections and flag major mistakes have not been notably successful thus far. Some users have reported that they have made corrections only to have others immediately come along and change it back. I can't comment on the evidentiary basis for any changes made, the point is that the newFamilySearch tree setup is an error-jammed database combined with a wiki approach.
Ancestry.com, on the other hand, has been nibbling around the edges regarding data-handling, most recently in the area of improving some elements of its source-citation setup. I don't know if the changes are more suited to gedcom v.5 formatting.
The AI guy is a hoot- but I digress 🙂
I've been following his thing about evidence and really hope some software developer (namely WholleyGenes) grabs the idea and runs with it.
Well-done to the coders for restoring the hypertext source/citation links.
I appreciate all of these new ways to integrate images into the tree.
However, PLEASE implement some sort of folder system!
When my family wants to look at photographs of ancestors, not only do they have to go through people on the other side of the family, but hundreds of document scans as well. Please give us a way to sort the images into folders, it would make things so much easier and is WAY OVERDUE.
This is such a basic feature I am surprised it is not already in place. Especially when you have the option to upload hundreds of photos at once, it's a little ridiculous to just throw them all into the same spot.
Yay, thank you Kenny and team for restoring links to sources on Person Overview page right sidebar (instead of all being link to Source Citation Page).
But now the source description on the individual Event page does not link to anything. It was handy for that sector to link to where one could edit the Source Citation. And it was very handy to be able to delete a particular Source Citation link to a given Event.
Can these features be restored, please?

MTC fully transitioned (i.e. stopped using the legacy trip-based model) to an activity-based travel model in 2010. This presentation will include a brief overview of the model structure and the context in which it's applied, followed by fairly detailed descriptions of several applications, including work related to MTC's in-progress long range transportation plan (adoption expected this summer), which included integrating the model with UrbanSim (land use model).

Images: Team Mildenhall members moved by Holocaust survivor story [Image 1 of 4]
Photo by Gina Randall
U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Henry Close, 100th Air Refueling Wing chaplain, talks to Zigi Shipper, a Holocaust survivor, during a question and answer session April 30, 2014, in the base chapel on RAF Mildenhall, England. Shipper was born to Orthodox Jewish parents in Poland in 1930 and spent many years in ghettos and concentration camps during World War II. When he was five years old his parents divorced but because they were Orthodox Jews and divorce was frowned upon, he was told that his mother had died. Following the liberation of the concentration camp in May 1945, Shipper was saved by British soldiers. After surviving a near-death illness, Shipper was reunited with his mother, who was living in England. Shipper now lives in Hertfordshire and regularly shares his testimony in schools across the country. (U.S. Air Force photo by Gina Randall/Released)

Schifcofske favourite for test
fullback spot
Clinton Shifcofske is expected to be given the Australian fullback position for next weekend?s test against New Zealand at EnergyAustralia Stadium.
His selection in the test side will almost guarantee him the Queensland State of Origin fullback job, with Panthers flyer and last year?s top try scorer Rhys Wesser tipped to miss out again.
Wesser was arguably the form fullback of the competition last season but missed out an Origin debut, much to the surprise of league experts.
Australian selectors are expected to choose Darren Lockyer at five-eighth for the clash with New Zealand next Friday, but the Broncos veteran is having trouble with an ankle injury that will prevent him from becoming the side?s goal kicker. Hence, Schifcofske?s inclusion in the side would also solve the goal kicking issue.
The selection of Lockyer at five-eighth, a position he only became accustom to when Wayne Bennett switched him from fullback this season, would mean Trent Barrett would miss out on a spot in the team.
According to a report in The Daily Telegraph, selectors are also tipped to bring Craig Gower into the squad at halfback, leaving Brett Kimmorley out of the side. Gower also has the potential to switch to hooker if need be.
But in reality, the battle for spots in the side could well come down to matches this weekend. Lockyer has a chance to shine against the Cowboys, while the real battle of the weekend is on Sunday at WIN Stadium where the top of the table Panthers meet the Dragons, who have let in just twelve points in their past two matches.
Barrett will be aiming to play the game of his life in the encounter with the defending premiers, while Gower will be out to cement his spot in the team.
Gower produced a man of the match performance against the Melbourne Storm last weekend and out-played the Roosters halves combination of Brad Fittler and Brett Finch the week before.
As for Schifcofske, he has to prove himself against a struggling Sharks outfit that in the past two weeks have been defeated by the two sides expected to finish last and second last on the ladder ? South Sydney and North Queensland.
The test side will be announced on Sunday.

Pre-match chat in safe hands
by Kate Smith
Former stopper Corrigan hits the bar.
Former Man City goalkeeper Joe Corrigan is set to take to the hot-seat in the Black Cats Bar ahead of Sunday's game.
The ex-England international spent 16 years with the Blues, amassing just under 500 appearances. After a stint with US side Seattle Sounders in 1983, the stopper returned to England to join Brighton and Hove Albion. He also had loan spells with Norwich City and Stoke City.
Most recently Corrigan had coaching roles at Liverpool and Hull City.
Supporters can hear from the former City man when he visits the Black Cats Bar at around 12.30 on Sunday.
Ahead of every game at the Stadium of Light, a special guest takes to the Black Cats Bar for a pre-match chat.
Fans can also enjoy a complimentary dish of the day, free matchday programme and take advantage of drinks offers in the Black Cats Bar every matchday.

text: Does anyone have the text that explains the glow heater grid time vs. temperature? I am having one of these circuits made for my 4BT that now has a 6BT grid and shortened 6BT intake plate. I need to know the grid sequence for the "pre-heat" phase. I don't know if the circuit turns both heaters on for all temperatures below 59F or does it use one or two grids based on the ambient temperature.

Posts Tagged 'Shell'
Corporate interests lean on YouTube to delete Lego-Shell video
But Greenpeace UK will just keep re-posting it… Here is the latest email from their Head of Arctic Campaigns, Ben Ayliffe:
I think we might have offended someone. This morning we were shocked to learn that our viral video calling on LEGO to break its lucrative partnership with oil giant Shell has been REMOVED from YouTube!
More than 3 million people have viewed this video in less than three days. People everywhere are sharing it with friends and loved ones, shocked to learn that this dearly-loved children's toy brand is helping Shell clean up its image. Now our important message is being attacked, and it's time to ramp our efforts and fight back.Our ad might have offended the likes of LEGO, Shell, and its corporate pals. But this is nothing compared to what Shell wants to do to our beautiful Arctic. Despite the real risk of a terrible and unstoppable oil spill, it continues to forge ahead to plunder every last drop of oil it can from this pristine environment.
The only reason Shell can get away with it is by forming public partnerships with the brands we all love. And we're sorry to say this includes LEGO. Their deal involves everything from incentivising fuel purchases with free Lego kits, to plastering the Shell logo on the side of millions of children's toys.
If Shell had its way, it would drill for oil in every corner of the planet. So it's up to people like you and me to make sure that doesn't happen. Not now, not ever. Ask Lego to stop its partnership with Shell today.
In the past we've helped delay Shell's plans in the Arctic and opened up the public's eyes to their dangerous plans. Now Shell is desperately trying to rebuild its reputation by partnering with beloved brands like LEGO. But LEGO doesn't have to play along.
Please watch this video and send your message to LEGO right away. Let's move one step closer to kicking Shell out of the Arctic.
Thanks for getting involved.

Will Gazprom give the Russian Arctic an amnesty?
This news just in from Greenpeace:
Dear supporter,
Prepare yourself for some great news:
The Arctic 30 have been granted amnesty by the Russian parliament!!
This means the legal action by Russia against the Arctic 30 can come to an end and the 26 non-Russians will be free to return home to their families as soon as they are given exit visas by the Russian authorities.
While we're breathing a huge sigh of relief, they still aren't home yet. And Gazprom and Shell are still planning on drilling for oil in the Arctic. If you haven't already sent a message to Shell's new CEO, click here.
I think the best thing to share with you about the amnesty decision is from one of the Arctic 30.
Peter Willcox, Captain of the Arctic Sunrise:
"I might soon be going home to my family, but I should never have been charged and jailed in the first place. We sailed north to bear witness to a profound environmental threat but our ship was stormed by masked men wielding knives and guns. Now it's nearly over and we may soon be truly free, but there's no amnesty for the Arctic. We may soon be home, but the Arctic remains a fragile global treasure under assault by oil companies and the rising temperatures they're driving. We went there to protest against this madness. We were never the criminals here."
It is not clear when the non-Russian crew among the Arctic 30 will be able to leave Russia. They don't have the correct stamps in their passports because, well, they were brought to Russia by commandos after being illegally seized in international waters.
This fight continues. Accepting amnesty does not mean admitting guilt. It means we can focus on what this is really about: saving the Arctic.
You have stuck with this story since the beginning. The most important thing you can do now is to help everyone you know understand that this is still far from over. The Arctic 30 were in the Arctic to bring attention to the absurdity of Arctic oil drilling. Tell Shell's new CEO to ditch the deal with Gazprom and leave Arctic oil in the ground.
Keep this fight alive.
Ben Ayliffe
Arctic Campaigner
P.S. If you're on Facebook, share this post today. Let your friends and family know there is still no amnesty for the Arctic.
Please remind Shell that Lloyds think Arctic drilling is bad
Lloyds of London have warned that fossil fuel exploration of the Arctic will damage an important ecosystem. With that in mind, here is the latest email I have received from Greenpeace:
Dear supporter,
Any moment now, Gazprom will pump the first drops of oil from beneath the icy Arctic seas.
But Gazprom's plans to open up huge areas of the Arctic to drilling depend on its powerful partner, Shell. This January, Shell has a new boss taking over. That means we have a major opportunity to stop both companies from destroying the pristine Arctic.
Tell Ben van Beurden, Shell's new CEO, to scrap Arctic oil drilling and end the deal with Gazprom.
Why would he listen to us? Because Shell's investors want to make money, not take risks. Shell's board want the investors to be happy, and as a new CEO, he will want to start with a clean record.
More and more industry insiders are warning that Arctic drilling is a losing battle. Shell already suffered a massive PR fail and a criminal inquiry for its series of mishaps trying to drill in Alaska last year. And Gazprom, already infamous for a 2011 rig accident in which 53 people died, came under serious fire recently for its role in the imprisonment of the Arctic 30.
This might be the best chance we've ever had to protect the Arctic. If Shell scraps Arctic oil, Gazprom will be cut off from the resources it needs to expand oil drilling to grotesque proportions. And it will send a clear signal to other oil companies that Arctic oil just isn't worth the risk.
Tell Shell's new CEO to ditch the deal with Gazprom and leave Arctic oil in the ground.
Our movement to save the Arctic is incredibly strong. We sent 2.5 million messages to Russian embassies demanding freedom for the Arctic 30, who were finally released on bail last month. Nearly 5 million of us have added our voices to a call to create a global sanctuary in the uninhabited area around the North Pole, protected from oil drilling and destructive industry. We won't stop growing, or fighting, until we win.
Thank you for everything,
Ben Ayliffe

It's official – Arctic 30 protestors are not pirates
As Kumi Naidoo, International Executive Director of Greenpeace International has said, this is an historic event. The actions of the Russian government two months ago – and the continuing failure of the UNFCCC to agree action to mitigate climate change – do not give confidence that humanity will avert an environmental catastophe. However, it is good that it has at least been agreed that peaceful protestors abducted at gunpoint in International waters cannot be jailed for piracy and/or hooliganism. Here is the email I received yesterday:
Dear supporter,
Today is a historic day – a day when the fundamental rights of the Arctic 30 have been upheld by an international court of law.
As you may recall, there was a hearing on November 6 at the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea. The Netherlands brought the case seeking the release of the Arctic Sunrise and its crew.
Today, just moments ago, the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea ordered the Russian Federation in a binding ruling to release the Arctic Sunrise and the 28 activists and two freelance journalists who were on board upon payment of a EUR 3.6 million bond.
The Arctic 30 were detained only because they stood up and courageously took peaceful action against Arctic oil drilling and to halt the devastating impacts of climate change.
I have just come from the UN climate talks in Warsaw where governments again have failed to take action against climate change. The Arctic 30 took action and it is time that governments acted with them. It is time for the Arctic 30 to come home to their loved ones. It is time for the Arctic to be protected.
Russia is now under an obligation to comply with the order: the Russian Constitution itself states that international law forms an integral part of the Russian legal system and Russian courts are under an obligation to implement this order. Greenpeace therefore expects Russia to respect International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea, as it has done in the past.
As we keep saying, it is still not over for the Arctic 30. So this is also not over for you or me. We must continue to stand firm until all charges against the Arctic 30 are officially dropped. Thirty people stood up for 7 billion people. We must stand with them.
Here are 30 things you can do to help us continue to make the case for the Arctic 30 and against drilling in the Arctic.
In solidarity,
Kumi Naidoo
International Executive Director
Greenpeace International
Arctic 1, Shell 0
I know I did not post anything about this particular facet of Greenpeace's campaign against Shell drilling in the Arctic (and any company associated with Shell). However, I did post it on my Facebook page.
After Greenpeace launched just such a "guilty be association" campaign, 40,000 people emailed Waitrose asking them to re-consider their decision to link their brand with Shell. As a result, Waitrose has now declared its support for an Arctic Sanctuary; and are putting their plans to co-habit with Shell petrol stations on hold.
However, Greenpeace still need to stop Shell actually drilling for oil in the Arctic. Therefore, if you have not done so already, please sign up now to Save the Arctic! www.savethearctic.com

You've probably thought to yourself at some point, "I would love to learn a new skill." Sure, you can learn skills from TV or books, but sometimes you just need that hands-on classroom experience.
Maybe you're interested in gaining more cooking skills for personal growth or learning a new computer program to add to your resume. However, you may not want to spend the money and probably don't have a whole lot of time to take a full-fledged college class. Look no further than your local community college to add new skills to your resume or just to learn new things.
Most community colleges around the United States offer programs called Continuing Education or Lifelong Learning. These classes aren't official college credit classes that you can apply toward a degree. Rather, they're short-term classes, running anywhere from one evening to several weeks, that you can enroll in and receive certifications. You can use these certifications to enhance your resume or help you on the path toward a new career. From marketing to the medical field, many programs can introduce you to a new career or give you the skills to advance in your current profession.
Continuing Education classes at community colleges also offer classes for personal growth. Want to learn how to start a garden? Want to learn how to take what you've grown and cook an elaborate meal? Curious as to what wine would go with what you just made? Looking to start a blog about your gardening and cooking experience, but aren't sure where to start? There's probably a LifeLong Learning class available to teach you all you need to know to turn that empty patch in your backyard into a fabulous, fruitful garden that you can then use to feed your family!
You'd be surprised how many classes and the variety of topics Continuing Education and LifeLong Learning programs offer. There's sure to be something to entice you.
I've taken two LifeLong Learning classes at the community college close to my house. The first class I took was actually for motorcycle safety. Having never ridden a motorcycle before, I found the class more than adequate in providing the foundation to be a safe rider on the road. This past spring, I signed up for an online LifeLong Learning class discussing search engine optimization, which has helped me structure my own website and my posts here on Zing to receive top search engine results. Additionally, several of my friends and family have taken LifeLong Learning courses the past year for certificates in basic computer skills and phlebotomy.
I found the amount of classwork reasonable and easy to complete, even while working a full-time job. I've enjoyed the classes I participated in; with more classes available online, I plan on signing up for another class at the end of the summer.
I would highly recommend taking a LifeLong Learning or continuing education class if you are looking into a new career or just for your own personal enjoyment.
Whether you are looking to expand your professional portfolio or just learn some new skills for your own personal growth, a Continuing Education or Lifelong Learning class at your local community college might be the perfect fit. Visit or call your area community college for more information about their continuing education programs.
If so, subscribe now for tips on home, money, and life delivered straight to your inbox.

TORAH STUDY LESSONS. Introduction
A series of 15 lessons which cover important topics such as how to know God's will for our lives, faith, hope, why God allows suffering, what happens when we die, and much much more. Go to Lesson 1.
Torah Study Lesson 1. ABRAHAM (Avraham)
Welcome to the first lesson of the Jewish Heritage Scripture Studies. Each lesson in the series builds on the one before it and will help us grow in our knowledge of and love for God.
Torah Study Lesson 2. JACOB (Ya'akov)
We often say the phrase "the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." In the last lesson we learned about Abraham and Isaac, but who is Jacob and what role did he play in establishing the nation of Israel?
Torah Study Lesson 3. JOSEPH (Yosef)
Have you ever felt all alone, with no friends or family to understand what you were going through? Have you ever suffered from circumstances beyond your control?
Torah Study Lesson 4. MOSES THE DELIVERER
In Lesson 3 we learned how God helped Joseph forgive his brothers. God worked though Joseph to bring his own family into Egypt. We will now discover what became of this great family, the Israelites.
Torah Study Lesson 5. MOSES THE TEMPLE BUILDER
This lesson is about the first Jewish temple ever built. In our last lesson we learned how the life of our great leader, Moses, prefigured the Messiah, our deliverer, in fifteen different ways (points A-O).
Torah Study Lesson 6. A NICE JEWISH BOY
How can a nice Jewish boy from N.Y. believe that Y'shua is the Messiah?
Only God knows the whole story.
Torah Study Lesson 7. MOSES AND THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
When the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness they lived in tents. Today we have steel doors and bolt locks. Why is that? Well, you say, it's because of the increase in crime.
Torah Study Lesson 8. MOSES THE TORAH WRITER
God's Word has a solution for every situation in life. In past lessons we saw how Abraham was able to live a life of faith through God's power, how Jacob was able to repent and be humbly sorry for his mistakes, and how Joseph was able to forgive those who had deeply hurt him.
Torah Study Lesson 9. WHY DOES GOD ALLOW SUFFERING?
In Yiddish we have many ways to express sorrow. We have words like tzuris, oy vey, oy vey is mir, oy gevalt, oy gottenyu, and even just a plain oy. Have you ever stopped to think of why we have so many sayings to express our grief?
Torah Study Lesson 10. DEBORAH – A MOTHER IN ISRAEL
Just before our forefathers, the children of Israel, entered the Promised Land Moses died on Mt. Nebo. The leadership of the nation was passed on to Joshua.
Torah Study Lesson 11. KING DAVID
David was one of the greatest kings in history - in fact, many believe he was one of the greatest men who ever lived. God referred to David as a man after His own heart.
Torah Study Lesson 12. KING SOLOMON
King Solomon's life clearly shows us God's mercy and God's willingness to work all things for good concerning us. God can cause the most horrible situation to end up blessing those who love God.
Torah Study Lesson 13. JONAH THE FISHERMAN
Jonah was not exactly a fisherman; he was more like the bait. He did not catch the fish but the fish caught him. Yet his experience teaches us a great lesson.
Torah Study Lesson 14. THE YOUNGEST KING
Stop and visualize a seven-year-old child you know. Maybe he's a child of yours, a niece, nephew, or grandchild. Now try to imagine that child being the current Prime Minister of Israel or as the President of your country.
Torah Study Lesson 15. THE ULTIMATE PROMISED LAND
Jewish funerals have interesting traditions. Loved ones put soil on the casket after it is lowered into the ground, putting closure on the reality before us.

I'd like to run Open MPI "by hand". I have a few ordinary
workstations I'd like to run a code using Open MPI on. They're in
the same LAN, have unique IP addresses and hostnames, and I've
installed the default Open MPI package, and I've compiled an MPI app
against the Open MPI libraries and copied the executable to each
machine, but let's assume these machines do not have BProc, Torque,
PBS, SLURM, rsh or ssh access to each other, or NFS. I'm looking at
the shell of each node: what do I type in to make Open MPI go?
If it matters, they're OS X Macs. I am welcome to be enlightened if
I've missed the documentation for this scenario.

This gallery, the Ružić Gallery, came into being as a result of the donation of the Croatian artist Branko Ružić (1919-1997), who was born in Slavonski Brod. Ružić gave his city more than 400 works of art, and at his call, more than a hundred Croatian painters and sculptors also gave of their works for this collection. The display was opened in Brod Fortress on June 15, 2004. Complementing Ružić's pictures and sculptures, the selection of artists constitutes a cross-section of contemporary Croatian art in the last 50 years.

MIAMI (AP) -- Tropical Depression Dorian is still moving off the east coast of Florida, but forecasters expect it to weaken.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami says Dorian is likely to weaken later Saturday. The depression's maximum sustained winds late Saturday morning were 35 mph (55kmh). The depression's center was about 200 miles (320 kilometers) east of Jacksonville.
Dorian is moving northeast at 14 mph (22 kph).
No coastal watches or warnings are in effect.

Our users have obscure usernames (ex: w00005414) but they match the account names in Active Directory so setting up AD authentication from Zimbra was simple. Since the obscure name causes some issues in Zimbra we want to see about switching the Zimbra account names over to lastname_firstname which will break the Active Directory authentication.
I guess I have 3 paths....
1. The admin guide mentions a "Custom Authentication" piece in Zimbra, we could use that to map the lastname_firstname over to the person's Active Directory account name and keep using Active Directory (is this easy? has anyone done it?)
2. When a user changes their password for Active Directory through our password management web page we could capture it and send it over to Zimbra and sync the password for the matching lastname_firstname account in Zimbra (is there a way to change a user's password in Zimbra through a command line tool or something?)
3. Have Zimbra do internal authentication and just keep the Zimbra password totally separate from Active Directory.... and start working on my resume

In the twentieth century Penmaenuchaf passed from J. Leigh Taylor to the Scotts,
his daughter and son-in-law, and to their daughter and son-in-law the Wynne-Joneses.
Captain, later Major, Charles Llewelyn Wynne-Jones lived at Penmaenuchaf between 1920
and 1973 at least, and the house was then sold to a Mr Miller [Ian Gavin Miller]
before being acquired by the current owners.
The stable block, located slightly to the west of the house, consists of two-storey,
stone-built stables (with a central circular window on the upper floor and a bell turret)
and cottage, with single-storey coach house, around three sides of a square; the
bothy is an oddly shaped building squeezed into the angle of the north-east corner,
on the end of the stables. All have slate roofs and have now been converted to dwellings.
The yard is a mixture of concrete and gravel, with a few old stone setts showing
(and probably more under the modern surface).
The rear drive up from Penmaenpool passes along the south side of the yard, and along this,
completing the square, is a row of stone sheds and garages, with another yard to the
south containing some semi-derelict corrugated iron sheds, one of which contains a
water wheel which formerly provided power to the stable block. These sheds replace
apparently more substantial buildings in this area shown on the 1901 map.
The stone buildings in this complex look contemporary with each other and with the house,
and are probably of nineteenth century date. On the old 25 in. maps, although roughly
the same buildings as at present are represented, the layout appears to be slightly different,
and it is possible that some rebuilding took place later. The siting of the buildings would
have been equally suitable before and after the alteration to the main drive (see below).
The kitchen garden wall is carried on opposite the east side of the Bothy and carriage house
(with a track in between), and then a wall continues alongside the disused track off to
the south-east; these walls close off the stables area from the curve of the drive
and the garden, with a wide gateway giving access. This now has solid wooden gates
on rebuilt stone piers.
There is a small enclosure behind part of the stable building which may be kennels,
chicken run or aviary. It seems to be of fairly recent construction, although some
of the materials are old.

CORNELIUS – Facebook. Instagram. Twitter.
Julia Brown and her Hough High volleyball teammates used a social media blitz to pump up campus excitement for their semifinal match Oct. 29 against Mount Tabor.
"We wanted everybody to come out," said Brown, a senior outside hitter. "They did, and the atmosphere was amazing. It was the best crowd we've had in my four years here."
The same can be said for the volleyball team.
Hough beat Mount Tabor 25-14, 25-21, 20-25, 25-16 to win the N.C. 4A Western Regional championship. The Huskies (32-1) advanced to the 4A state championship match against Wakefield at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 2 at N.C. State.
Hough's gym in the semifinal was a raucous, steamy caldron of happiness. Huskies fans roared on every point, and the players seemed to feed off the enthusiasm. A few students, preferring to stand, spilled out in the early stages but were shooed back into their seats by school officials. It didn't make a dent in the noise.
The victory avenged Hough's lone loss of the season. The Huskies lost 3-2 to Mount Tabor in a three-team match Oct. 5.
Every element of Hough's attack was sharp in the semifinal. Brown and middle hitter Jazmine Lindor were dominant at the net. Setter Jennifer Hart sent crisp passes in all directions. Morgan Fisher and Hailey Brotze were stalwarts on the back line, and coach Sandi Skidmore rotated in players who all contributed.
The Huskies looked and played like a fine-tuned machine.
"We have 16 players on this team that can play," Hart said.
Hough methodically pulled ahead in the first game after it was tied at 7. Brown's two-handed push shot zipped off the forearm of Mount Tabor's libero for the game-winning point.
"It was very important to win the first game," said Brown, an N.C. State signee. "That's what starts it off and shows what we have."
Mount Tabor (25-4) jumped to a 7-4 lead in the second game, but Hough rallied to tie it at 15. Brotze's service ace gave Hough an 18-17 lead, and the Huskies reeled off the next four points to make it 22-17. Lindor scored on a powerful block and Brown's kill down the middle on the 25th point gave Hough a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five match.
"We got the momentum in the first game, which made us more relaxed in the second and third games," Skidmore said. "We didn't want to fall behind."
The third game reminded the Hough crowd that Mount Tabor wouldn't be a pushover. The Spartans sharpened their net game and passing, turning a 13-12 lead into an 18-13 margin. They closed out the game to cut Hough's lead to 2-1.
Hough jumped to a 7-1 lead in the fourth game. The Huskies bumped the lead to 11-2, but Mount Tabor fought back to make it 16-14. Hough regained control with three straight points – a Mount Tabor serve into the net, a Lindor kill at the net and Haley Kain's service ace.
A couple minutes later, Mount Tabor's last shot sailed wide and Hough's players piled onto each other in celebration.
"This was exciting," Hart said. "I wasn't nervous at all."
Lake Norman Charter falls in N.C. 2A semifinal
Lake Norman Charter lost to visiting Hendersonville 26-24, 18-25, 23-25,17-25 in the N.C. 2A semifinals Oct. 29. The Knights finished 22-3 and were 14-0 en route to winning the Big South 2A/3A conference title. Top players in the semifinal were Julie Newell (11 kills, 17 digs), Danielle Reed (11 kills, 13 digs), Amy Queen (17 digs) and Jessi Harris (three aces).

Yes, trivial ones: one is the relation itself. Nontrivial ones exist only when the relation has (nontrivial) join dependencies, e.g. a (nontrivial) key.

I don't understand this, they are orthogonal operations, as I explained.

I don't understand your interest in trivial unions or trivial joins.

The relational algebra union does so by not being defined for those cases, but I agree with your and Darwen's sentiment that it is nicer to extend operations to cover all cases when this can be usefully done, in fact I've worked on a similar generalization of operations for a different query language. But this doesn't change the fact that union and join are fundamentally orthogonal, in the sense that one combines relations vertically, the other horizontally.
So I do sympathize with his OR and NOT; but I also feel the problems with them are more than 'computational issues'.

I'm trying to make sense of this by reading Darwen's NOT for 'relational complement' and relational algebra's MINUS for 'simple complement'. Is that what you mean?
In that case, I don't see what you mean by preciseness. Darwen's AND, OR and NOT are more general operations than those of the relational algebra, but they are not any more precise. And the price he pays for allowing them is worse than computational: the tuples of the relations we create with them can no longer all be regarded as expressing positive facts. We now have to know how a resulting relation was produced before we can interpret it. We *lose* preciseness.
>> What are you trying to achieve?
>> ...

*Implementation* language?
Relational algebra (with possible extensions such as transitive closure) already gives us both mathematical simplicity (the axiom aspect) and implementation orientedness (it is targeted at optimization). Darwen's algebra isn't any more axiomatic, it is *less* precise, as we no longer know how to interpret the relations we produce. and *not* implementation oriented, because NOT and OR cannot actually be implemented as they are (try NOT-ing the table {A: 1, B: 1, C: 1}, where A, B, C can take arbitrary floating point values). I would venture that the first thing any implementer will attempt to do is rewrite all of Darwen's expressions back to relational algebra as far as possible, and throw errors on the remainder. Then again, there is no doubt a lot of theory on working with partly disjunctively or negatively interpreted relations that I'm not aware of.
The same objection holds for treating selection as join with mathematical relations (in Darwen's section 'Treating operators as relations'.) A relation in a relational database is of a very different nature than a mathematical relation such as PLUS. A database relation consists of a posteriori knowledge, information about the world. A mathematical relation is a priori: it reflects information about mathematical constructs, not information about the world.
A database relation is established by someone or something who observes facts in the world and makes sure the tuples of the relation reflect them. The reason databases exist is that we want to store and then retrieve such information. We typically want to be able to write a query that produces, say, the relation reflecting the municipalities of the country with their mayors. Typically, we want such a query to always produce the latest known version of that information without having to specifically rewrite it to make it do so; in which case the relation is 'time-varying', i.e. its contents will need to be updated from time to time.
None of this is true for mathematical relations. They are invariant. Most are infinite. It is indeed mathematically possible to express arbitrary selection expressions in terms of relational joins, but this only makes them hard to read and write, it obscures implementation aspects such as performance, and I can't think of a benefit. Nice as an academic exercise (look, ma, I removed a concept) but not as an academic result (no useful purpose).
>The way most people talk of Codd's algebra is simplistic

You know very well I wasn't talking about coordinates, it was just a shorthand that is completely *obvious* (considering that we usually visualize relations as tables) and that I *carefully explained* just to be sure you would get it. If you still didn't, I'm really sorry but I don't think it's my fault.

Covering up a lack of reading comprehension with insults, as you have a habit of doing, doesn't exactly help your credibility, mister. Do you want help on understanding relational theory, or don't you?

I can make sense of that remark in various ways so I'm not sure how to respond. In relational algebra this is well possible, because of the possible creation of symmetries that selections cannot 'break'. Please clarify.

I'm not sure what you mean. Maybe it depends on what kinds of facts a database is assumed to contain; assuming that every tuple corresponds to a fact and absence of a tuple to its negation really simplifies things, but I don't know if you do. (Does make any sense as a reply?)

Yes, to you it does. You see a word, it triggers an association in your mind, and you start blathering about the association instead of focusing on trying to understand what is actually meant. You're in bad company here, and I certainly won't exclude myself, but if you want to make progress on this algebra stuff, a change of attitude is advisable.

Giving Up? RIM Pulls BlackBerry PlayBook Ads and Cancels Orders
According to various reports, RIM has started cancelling orders for its BlackBerry PlayBook in the U.S. and has even allegedly ceased advertising campaigns.
Electronista noted that "shoppers have frequently reported orders being dropped, even if the order had already been charged and was virtually ready." Slashgear suggested that "there were so many issues with the RIM tablet that it never caught on"—observe the past tense, as though it's already gone the way of the HP TouchPad—and that Best Buy is pulling its listings for the device, displaying only accessories. And Business Insider reports that Research in Motion is "no longer advertising the PlayBook," pointing out that there's "barely any demand for such a lame tablet."
Interestingly, it was less than a week ago that Best Buy told The Globe and Mail is has no regrets about stocking the PlayBook.
RIM's QNX-powered mobile device originally retailed for $499. It sold 500,000 in its opening quarter but that number plunged to a lowly 200,000 during the second quarter. Since then, the PlayBook has experienced dozens of significant sales, including a staggering 60% off.
UPDATE: The cancelling issue appears to be with Best Buy but it is currently unclear the true involvement of RIM and Best Buy in cancelling orders, pulling listings, and ceasing ads.
UPDATE 2: Best Buy says they're simply sold out of PlayBooks due to their sales and product promotions and they will be restocking RIM's tablet, according to Cnet.

As you may have read on my earlier outbound report on NW from JFK-DTW-FCO, I noticed a lack of motivation on the part of the airline employees. Not that they were rude to me but they could be if a passenger didn't treat them in an optimal way. Whatever the case may be, they didn't seem to enjoy what they were doing, something I took for granted flying Swissair up until a few years ago. I was hoping KLM would provide me with a similar experience.
The last time I flew KLM was in 1999 ZRH-AMS-DTW; JFK-AMS-ZRH and their service seemed to be OK despite the fact the planes I was on were a bit old (both the trans-atlantic flights were on the older B747-206B SUDs). I was hoping for them to improve a bit on that. So, after spending some nice long days at home and at the spotter terrace in ZRH and grabbing some nice shots from there, it was finally time to go back to the U.S.

The Week in Local Music News
Indie gods Pavement play their first-ever hometown show at Stockton's Bob Hope Theater; indie nerds rejoice [via Stocktown Record]
Pitchfork gives local Morrissey lovers Magic Bullets some major props [via Pitchfork]
Homecoming for Pavement Reunion Tour
Pavement, a cornerstone of Matador in the 90s—and a band one usually either loves, hates, or hasn't heard of—brings their much-awaited reunion tour to their hometown of Stockton this Thursday and to the Greek Theater in Berkeley on Friday. Scott Kannenberg (aka Spiral Stairs) and Stephen Malkmus formed the band in their later-to-be estranged drummer Gary Young's studio in Stockton in 1989. Rumor has it that Young will make at least an appearance at the Stockton show at the Bob Hope Theater and possibly pop up in Berkeley as well. Neither the Stockton show nor the Berkely show have sold out but plenty of people are trying to get rid of Greek Theater tickets on Craigslist if you're looking for a discount.
June's Hottest Concert Tickets
Are you tired of going out nearly every night and practically forfieiting your wallet to various venues in the City? Nah, me neither. Well, don't expect anything to slow down, the summer's just heating up.
6/2 - Mumford & Sons/The Middle East @ Slim's: Yikes, another sold-out Mumford & Sons show. In fact almost every single stop on their tour is completely sold out. If you're itching to test their brand of British folk revival, then get to searching here on Craigslist.
Stephen Malkmus Doesn't Disappoint
Pavement may have split up in the late 90s, but that didn't stop their guitarist/front man/mastermind, Stephen Malkmus, from dominating his set with their iconic melodies. Malkmus strummed along to a sold-out crowd at The Great American Music Hall last night and even among the many mishaps and awkward in-between banter, it may single-handedly be one of the best shows we've ever seen.

Sony Removes Linux from PlayStation 3
After the PS3 Slim already delivered without Linux functionality, Sony is now also removing Linux from the older PlayStations as of firmware update 3.21.
As the official PlayStation blog indicates, the "Install Other OS" feature, whereby Linux could be installed, will be disabled with firmware version 3.21 for the the older PlayStation 3s. As the blog says, "Consumers and organizations that currently use the 'Other OS' feature can choose not to upgrade their PS3 systems," but access to the PlayStation Network, playback of PS3 titles and Blu-ray videos, and use of new features and improvements would then no longer be available. Even playback of DRM-protected videos stored on the local server will no longer be allowed.
The reason, according to Sony, is "security concerns." In January, iPhone hacker George Hotz released a hack that under Linux used signal disturbance on the bus as an attack vector to get to ring 0 and access to full memory space for an exploit on the PS3. Hotz's exploit was but a half hack in that he only circumvented the encryption SPU of the Cell processor. The encryption itself, which serves for copying games, remained uncracked, as the keys are hardcoded in the encryption SPU (also called the hypervisor), which the hack could not access.
Sony is selling the disabling of the "Other OS" feature as an advantage in that it "will help ensure that PS3 owners will continue to have access to the broad range of gaming and entertainment content from SCE and its content partners on a more secure system."
The implementation should be interesting from a legal standpoint, since Sony was explicit when it originally introduced the PS3 that it would provide the "Other OS" feature. As late as the end of February (thus, long after the Hotz hack), Sony was still making statements that the Linux functionality won't be removed from older PS3s.
Linux on PlayStations has been especially popular in the university realm, because PS3s can be chained pretty cheaply into performance-rich Cell chip clusters that rival the fastest and most energy efficient supercomputers.
Linux users can always appeal to the PlayStation "Ask a Question" site as to how Sony feels about such a stunted product undertaking.
