Windsor film fest goes digital
Film has quickly become the woolly mammoth of the Windsor International Film Festival.
This year's eighth annual event will feature cutting-edge technology that makes 35mm film a thing of the distant past.
Enter DCP and Blu-ray technologies.
WIFF runs from next Wednesday, Nov. 7, to Sunday, Nov. 11. Following Wednesday's opening night gala showing of The World Before Her, there will be 52 films, shown over 69 screenings, from Thursday through Sunday. The films will all be screened in one of three theatres in the Capitol Theatre, 121 University Ave. W. — Pentastar, Kelly and Joy.
Both The World Before Her and the closing feature — Michael McGowan's Still, Sunday at 7 p.m. at the Capitol — are Canadian productions.
Digital Cinema Package, or DCP, is a format in which a hard-drive containing the film titles is connected to a projector, then switched on with a computer code.
And it's silent running, said WIFF executive director Peter Coady.
"This is where all film festivals are heading," he said. "No more film. This year, several of our titles were only available to us in DCP, and it's a very costly format."
A Montreal supplier has loaned WIFF the equipment to get through 2012. But in future years, the local group is hoping to purchase its own at a cost of more than $95,000.
"All of our films in the Pentastar this year are in DCP," said Coady. "Most of the others are in Blu-ray. We still have a handful of 35mm films but they're the last we'll be receiving."
The picture image in DCP, he said, is much sharper than even Blu-ray, and several titles are delivered in booming 5.1 digital sound. "For the audience in the Capitol, it'll seem like they're watching the movie on their home system."
Some critics are already complaining that detracts from the movie theatre experience. But Coady said WIFF has no choice but to move ahead with the times.
"We really wanted the Danish film, The Hunt, this year. But the only we could get it was to install DCP. The same's true of four or five other titles."
WIFF receives the bulk of its titles from Film Circuit, the distribution arm of the Toronto International Film Festival. As of 2013, all titles from Film Circuit will be in the DCP format.
Coady will be sent an email with a computer code with an expiry date that will "unlock" the film from the hard-drive.
The digital format is the major difference between this year's festival and last. But it's not the only one.
WIFF is basing its operations entirely at the Capitol Theatre with the loss of the Palace Cinemas, which has been converted into the new home of The Windsor Star. Despite that, this year's lineup is the largest yet.
Coady said once the Capitol came under the control of Windsor Symphony Orchestra, there was no question the festival would move there.
"The WSO has been very co-operative and is one of our sponsors," he said.
To accommodate the loss of seating in the transfer from the Palace, WIFF has added an extra full day of screenings on Thursday.
"It's a bit of a concern because it's a weekday," said Coady. "But we're hoping those on shift work, students or retirees will take advantage of the earlier screening times."
Coady had praise for his partners in the educational community — the University of Windsor, St. Clair College, and the various school boards.
"There seems to be a willingness to work together. We've found the same in our dealings with businesses and the media."
It's a far cry from what Coady called "the sisyphean struggle" of WIFF's first couple of years.
There was a wait-and-see approach when WIFF first launched in 2005. "People weren't sure a city like Windsor could sustain its own film festival," he said.
But there was already a strong constituency in place with the previous efforts of the on-and-off Windsor Film Theatre, the willingness of independent houses like Lakeshore Cinemas to bring in lesser-known titles, and the ongoing Detroit Film Theatre at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
"In those first few years," Coady said, "some films were very poorly attended. But we've learned what our audiences want and can deliver the right titles."
This year's lineup includes box office successes like Killer Joe, Smashed and A Late Quartet. But there are small titles like Blackbird and Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel, which would never be booked into chain theatre screens.
"People have stopped me in the street and asked what's good to see," Coady said. "There's a buzz about our festival. It's a good sign."
WIFF's pre-festival schedule opens Monday with the Short Film Program, a showcase of student films from the University of Windsor, St. Clair College and University of Michigan. It's at the Capitol at 7 p.m.
The annual 48-Hour FlickFest takes place Tuesday at 7 p.m., with winners announced on the final day of the festival.
REEL Canada is the high school component in which hundreds of students will attend private screenings, Wednesday at the Capitol.
The tale of the tape this year has 52 features or documentaries from 10 countries, including 19 from Canada. Five of the films are official entries for best foreign film at the 2013 Academy Awards.

Western University of Health Sciences is urging members of the public to have regular eye exams as a way of catching glaucoma in its early stages.
The university has joined the National Eye Institute in raising the public's awareness of the disease.
The university offers comprehensive eye exams through its Eye Care Center found within the Patient Care Center, 795 E. Second St. The Eye Care Center is equipped to handle the evaluation and treatment of various types of glaucoma, according to a university statement.
Treatment for glaucoma is more effective if it is detected early, said Dr. Robert Gordon in the statement. Gordon is associate dean of clinical affairs at the university's College of Optometry.
In the early stages of glaucoma there are no symptoms so a person may not realize he has a problem, said Dr. Linda Pang, coordinator of Low Vision Services at the University's College of Optometry.
"In its early stages, glaucoma is a condition that is only picked up during an eye examination," Pang said in the statement. "We check their eye pressure and the structures in the back of the eye to assist in determining if there is a risk to the patient of losing sight from glaucoma."
The National Eye Institute, which is part of the National Institutes of Health, is encouraging those at higher risk for glaucoma to have a comprehensive eye exam every one or two years.
Anyone can develop glaucoma but those at higher risk include African-Americans age 40 and older; adults over the age of 60, particularly Mexican-Americans; and people who have a family history of the disease, the statement said.
Glaucoma is a major cause of vision loss in the United States, the statement said. About 2.7 million Americans 40 and older have primary open-angle glaucoma, the most common form.
The number of patients with the disease is expected to grow as the population ages.
For additional information on glaucoma or to schedule an eye exam go to http://www.westernupcc.com/eye.html or call the Eye Care Center at 909-706-3899.

Giants Welcome New MLB Season with Instant Replay's 1st ControversyApril 2, 2014
Going into the 2014 MLB season, baseball fans welcomed the advent of instant replay in the sport but knew there would be growing pains. Just a couple of games in, the Giants suffered growing anguish.
Thanks to MLB.com, we take you to the bottom of the fourth inning, with the Giants leading the Diamondbacks 4-2—eventually losing the game, 5-4.
Matt Cain fires over to first with the Diamondbacks' A.J. Pollock taking a lead. Unfortunately for Cain, he would soon learn that a frustrating 2013 would quickly bleed over into the new year.
Pollock dives back and is called safe, a call that is quickly challenged by Giants manager Bruce Bochy. Now we have to say that it certainly looks like the 26-year-old center fielder is out, but we will let it slide because there may not have been definitive proof to overturn the call.
And really, there is a far more egregious call coming up. Bochy and the Giants just don't know it yet.
Moments later, with Pollock now on third with two outs, Cain manages to get one past Buster Posey, garnering a play at the plate. What we see from the camera's angle is Pollock's cleat catching in the dirt, fly above the plate and into Cain's glove before touching home.
Out. Right?
It's understandable that managers, much like kids with a new toy, are hot to trot to use their newfangled challenge, but you have to pick and choose your battles when you have just one in the first six innings.
Bochy spoke with reporters and said he wouldn't change anything if he had the same opportunity, via MLB.com:
What else are you going to do if you think they didn't get the call right? Unfortunately, they're not all gonna go your way or get overturned. But that's the gamble you take. I'm sure there could be another play, but you don't know that.
You might think Bruce Bochy has to be fairly frustrated with instant replay. In fact, he probably hates replays in general. Don't let this man in your house or else he will smash your DVR, destroying all of those episodes of The Good Wife you saved up like they would be worth double in the fall.
In reality, he is doing just fine with the added innovation into the sport. Last season, he would have had to get by with simply arguing his case, more than likely walking back to the dugout annoyed.
This season gives managers the opportunity to see that play again, which is something. Now despite this one game, it really is a huge something.
CBS Sports' Dayn Perry thinks we can do much more, though:
The point of replay should be -- bold declaration forthcoming -- to get the calls on the field right. I get that the challenge system adds another tactical layer to the game, but at best that should be distantly secondary to making sure critical calls are made correctly. If we compromise that greater goal in the service of sprouting another twig on the manager's decision tree, then we're being too clever by (at least) half. If nothing else, every scoring play should be subject to review regardless of when it occurs and regardless of whether the manager in question has any lucky-best challenges left in his patent-leather, monogrammed shoulder holster of lucky-best challenges.
Before we condemn the replay system, know that it is in its initial throes of implementation, and one that is going over fairly well.
The Associated Press (h/t Deadspin) notes that replays are reviewed in a timely manner, cutting down one of the more obvious concerns many had before its use.
The good already outweigh the bad, and it's reasonable to assume that is how it will go the rest of the season. Overturned calls as well as umpire vindication will more than likely outnumber the egregious hiccups peppered within.
Still, this will be baseball for the next year, because, as Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan notes, there will be no changes to the system until 2015, which is a good thing.
This will stave off the kind of reaction that could hurt the game. Most would agree that one challenge for the first portion of the game is too little, but what is too much?
That is a question no sport has been able to answer correctly, and one MLB has no chance in hammering down perfectly—not that this sport has ever been about perfection.
However, with plays like the one on Tuesday night along with all those to follow in the next season, MLB will whittle down a nice comfortable replay system that should sate the masses.
Of course, as we have seen in other sports, the debate, controversy and arguing will go on forever, which should yield a nice warm tingly feeling of familiarity.
Then again, perhaps that's just frustration.

WASHINGTON (Aug. 4)
The Republican Congressional Committee today charged that the State Department humbled America in the eyes of the world by apologizing, in effect, to Arab states for the appointment of a Jew, Arthur J. Goldberg, as United States Ambassador to the United Nations.
The committee, in a newsletter, cited the role of G. Mennen Williams, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, and called on President Johnson to dismiss Mr. Williams. The organ of the Republican members of Congress denounced Mr. Williams' "decision to stoop to 'explaining' to North African countries that, in naming Arthur J. Goldberg (who happens to be Jewish) as Ambassador to the U.N., President Johnson is not encouraging an anti-Arab policy."
According to the official Republican view of the matter, the explanation in the Goldberg case was unnecessary since U.N member states name whomever they please as envoys to the U.N., with no agreement sought from the United States. The Republicans cited India's persistence in maintaining at the United Nations the "anti-American, pro-Communist Khrishna Menon."
State Department attempts to apologetically explain the selection of Mr. Goldberg constituted a "national abasement," said the Republican organ, Referring to Arab states, the Republicans said; "From now on, we can undoubtedly expect a step-up in their 'anti-colonialist' antics and the itch in their outstretched palms, Unless, of course, by speedily sending Williams back to Michigan, President Johnson demonstrates that the United States intends to look after its own interests with no apologies to anyone for what we think is right."

Hardluck Fire tops 10,000 acresAug 6, 2013 The Associated Press
Smoke will likely be visible in Cody, Meeteetse and Dubois.
A Washakie Wilderness wildfire has grown to more than 10,000 acres following shifting winds from a passing cold front.
The Hardluck Fire grew by almost 4,000 acres Monday after being pushed by hot, dry and windy weather over the weekend.
The U.S. Forest Service says its smoke will likely be visible Tuesday in Cody, Meeteetse and Dubois.
It's been allowed to burn since it was started by lightning July 17 since it's in a remote area. It's one of several fires burning in northwestern Wyoming.
Elsewhere, the 200-acre Snake Fire was discovered Monday along the border of Yellowstone National Park and the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Crews are working to protect backcountry cabins from that blaze. Some trails and backcountry campsites have been closed.
And firefighters are making progress fighting a wildfire burning on about 400 acres near Bondurant.
The Packer Creek Fire is burning in heavy timber and dead trees about 28 miles north of Pinedale.
The fire was discovered Friday and was 5 percent contained Monday. Managers say crews were able to make significant progress with help from firefighting aircraft.
Full containment is expected by Saturday.

In the Know: Studs Terkel's Race, Then and Now
This May marks the 100th birthday of Chicago's beloved oral historian Studs Terkel. To commemorate him, we are going to take his book Race off the shelf to see what it may have to say today. In the early nineties, Terkel interviewed a cross-section of America to find out how blacks and whites think and feel about race. In twenty years, much has changed, yet according to the 2010 census Chicago remains one of the most segregated cities in America. Join us as we continue the conversation that Studs Terkel began for us exactly two decades ago.
Journalist Laura Washington moderates this monthly series that explores contemporary issues affecting life in Chicago. Panelists will include Natalie Moore, reporter at WBEZ's South Side bureau in Englewood, among others.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
How do I solve (In The Mind Of Maddness)?
Cant Solve The Puzzles PleaseHelp
artyg108 - 5 years ago
Accepted Answer
There are three puzzles you have to solve.
Pelagius' Night Terrors
You will see a bed in the middle of the forest with Pelagius sleeping on it. Sheogorath tells you that Pelagius has been suffering from night terrors since he was a child, and to get rid of them. Use the Wabbajack on Pelagius to start the sequence, and then attack each terror as they come. They will turn into something more innocuous. Do not attack the innocuous creatures; instead, use the Wabbajack on Pelagius again to call the next terror. If you fail to prevent the terror from attacking Pelagius long enough, you will have to repeat the scene from the start.
You will have to fight a wolf, a bandit chief, a hagraven, a flame atronach and lastly, a dragon priest who tends to summon a frost atronach to help him. When the dragon priest is taken care of, Pelagius will wake up and the scene will end.
Pelagius' Confidence
In this scene you will see Pelagius' Anger beating up Pelagius' Confidence. Confidence doesn't look like he is doing too well, since he is tiny and Anger is a giant. Sheogorath wants you to tip the scales. Use Wabbajack on Anger until he is tiny, and then on Confidence until he is as big as Anger was. It is a bit tricky getting Confidence big enough to finish the quest, as if you will wait too long, he will go back to being tiny.
Pelagius' Paranoia
The third scene will be a small fort like structure, with steps leading up to the edge. In the middle of this structure there is an arena, occupied by two fighting storm atronachs. Supposedly, one is yours and one is your opponent's, who is on the other side of the fort. He is flanked by two other men. Sheogorath will tell you Pelagius' mother had a hand inflaming his paranoia. He wants you to find Pelagius' paranoia and win the fight you are witnessing.
If you shoot your opponent's atronach with the Wabbajack, it will result in one or both of the creatures changing into an atronach of another type. The best configuration is your atronach being frost, and the other flame, so even though yours is losing life, it will heal, making the fight infinite. Either way, the atronach fight has nothing to do with solving the scene.
Aim for one of the two men sitting next to your opponent, and Wabbajack them. Both of the men will turn into wolves, and attack your opponent, kiling him. Sheogorath will happily comment on how you finally came up with the way to deal with the situation, though he will say the same thing regardless of whether shooting the two men was the first thing you did or not.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Albuquerque chamber ensemble Chatter changes in size depending on the needs of the music.
Chatter's concert today at the Cathedral Church of St. John will present works for soloists, for duo, trio, quartet and quintet.
And in this mix of numbers, ensemble members will show off just how virtuosic the music on the program is, from beginning to end, said David Felberg, Chatter's artistic director.
"That's starting with Claude Debussy's Sonata for Viola, Harp and Flute," Felberg said.
"It's a late work and an interesting combination of instruments. They work together beautifully and it shows off the capability of each instrument."
Cellist James Holland is performing the first movement of Zoltan Kodaly's Cello Sonata, a work Felberg described as "a real tour de force."
Felberg will solo on Ingram Marshall's "September Canons" for violin and digital delay.
"I play into a computer that takes my sound and loops it altogether and it becomes my accompaniment. I play melodies over that," he said.
"In the second half of the piece I play a three-voice canon so the tape is delayed eight seconds. … It's like having three of me up there."
The fourth work on the program is a version of Arvo Pärt's minimalist work "Spiegel im Spiegel" for cello and vibraphone. The title translates as "Mirror in the Mirror."
The fifth and final piece on the program is an arrangement of the second movement of Kaija Saariaho's Flute Concerto for flute, violin, harp, percussion and cello.
Besides Felberg on violin and viola and Holland on cello, the other Chatter members in the concert are harpist Lynn Gorman-DeVelder, percussionist Jeff Cornelius and flutist Jesse Tatum.
"There are a lot of contrasts and a lot of beauty at the same time," Felberg said of the music.
The concert is part of the cathedral's music series.

Six families came together Nov. 17 to share an important event — the adoption of their children.
A total of 12 children, ranging in age from three to 18, were adopted in an Anoka County courtroom as part of National Adoption Day.
One by one, the families completed the legal process as the other families watched and applauded.
First up was Nathan and Jennifer of Coon Rapids, who have provided foster care for six siblings since June 8, 2012.
"Your life changed on that day," said Judge Bethany Fountain Lindberg.
Then she asked if they were prepared to take the next step.
"Are you ready for all of the rights and responsibilities, including financial, health, education and everything else that a birth parent would have?" Fountain Lindberg asked.
Nathan and Jennifer didn't hesitate. In fact, they'd recommend adoption to anyone considering it.
"It's hard and it's worth it," Jennifer said.
It can be challenging to step into a child's life, but the smiles, laughter and joy make the effort very worthwhile, she said.
Some of the adoptions Nov. 17 were by relatives.
Family ties can complicate things sometimes, but love finds a way, according to Jeremy, a North Branch resident and a new father to a smiley, four-year-old girl.
"We have an open adoption and setting up visitations for the birth parent is hectic," Jeremy said.
"But it's worth it. She's the light of my life and I wouldn't be who I am without those two," he said, referring to his fiancée and newly-adopted daughter.
The families are to be commended for their devotion and determination, according to Anoka County Commissioner Robyn West.
"You are an inspiration," West said.
Cindy Cesare, director of Anoka County's Community Social Services and Mental Health Department, thanked the social workers and assistant county attorneys involved with the families.
"They care deeply for your children," Cesare told the families. "They want the best for all of you."
To find out more about adopting, contact Nancy Le at 763-422-7104.

text: Hello all you fellow fly fishers. This is my first venture into the forum. My daughter got me started, and we were planning to make a trip up to the sky on Sunday since she heard the Chum were running rather well. We live in Snohomish so it's a short run for us. I wanted to see if by chance there was any info on what to use, and there was. So on my first day I've found the forum to be very informative. I have a question regarding an east side river, the Tucannon. My bother in-law, a fellow fly fisher living in Richland, ran into a state Fish and Game guy who was talking about the largely overlooked steelhead run on the Tucannon. Apparently this has become a healthy fishery and the recent reports from the few that have been fishing it are very positive. Almost daily limits every trip with numerous fish put back to fight another day. I wondered if anyone on this forum has ventured over there, what part of the river they predominately fish, and what they use if any different than traditional steelhead setups. I've fished regular trout, mostly at big four lake, and some fishing on the river itself, but I have never given steelhead much thought until now. Wapitiman(Tom)

There's new legislation at the state Capitol that would help protect veterans with service dogs from discrimination. State Senator David Knezek, D-Dearborn Heights, served in Iraq and he is sponsoring the bills. Michigan's War Dog Memorial honors 4-legged heroes By Stateside Staff • May 12, 2014 Photo by T.Sgt. J. Sarno / Wikimedia Commons Listen Listening... / 10:21 When you think of a war hero, what image comes to your mind? Most likely, you think of a man or a woman dressed in desert camouflage, or a wounded warrior learning to walk again after being wounded in battle. But there is another group of war heroes: the four-legged heroes. War dogs. Their history in the U.S. military is long and proud. They were used as messenger dogs, scout or patrol dogs, and in the cases of our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, they have been used as explosive detection dogs. Unbeknownst to many of the locals, Michigan has one of the few war dog memorials in the nation, located between Milford and South Lyon in Oakland County. Phil Weitlauf is a U.S. Army veteran, as well as a champion of the Michigan War Dog Memorial. He joined us on Stateside. *Listen to the full interview above.

It means passengers in transit will not have to take their service dogs outside to do their business.

MySpace, Facebook, and the other large social networks need not worry. The small, niche social network sites that are popping up faster than poker rooms in the 90's are not going to hurt the big boy's bottom lines. They're just going to draw more people by the end of the year because of one fact.
They're just more useful than the big sites.
The appeal that brought millions to form profiles and make friends on MySpace and Facebook will have the opposite effect in 2008 an beyond. We built our MySpace page and started Facebooking because everyone else was doing it. As closed social sites begin to gain in popularity, they will appeal to people because NOT everyone else is doing it. Inclusion is easy on today's internet. Being part of something exclusive is becoming the new IT thing to do.
Ning and other emerging websites offer places for people to "give everyone the opportunity to create your own social networks for anything." Here are some of the more popular emerging themes for these closed social niche networks:
Age-Based Social Networks
There are social networks popping up for everyone from 8-year-olds to 80-year-olds. Websites like Boomj (social network for baby boomer), Whyville ("a virtual world where boys and girls from all over the real world come to chat, play, learn, and have fun together"), and Eons ("loving life on the flipside of 50") are making it possible for people in particular age groups to interact with each other.
The appeal here is obvious. Age gives people an instant point of reference where they know that, no matter what else is different, they have something in common. Exploring these websites reveals that the members seem to be more open, willing to reveal more about themselves than they would on general social networking websites.
Local Social Networks
Quick story: a friend was at a party the other day and really hit it off with a girl he met there. They talked, laughed, drank… all was going well. As the night drew to a close, he asked for her phone number. She hesitated, saying that she didn't really give her phone number out to people that she just met. Then, she took a card out and wrote something down.
It was her MySpace page.
She said they could get to know each other better that way first. He was disappointed, but it was better than nothing.
Social networks like Tribe and GoingOn to localize their networks and give the audience places to find local focus. While MySpace and Facebook have similar interfaces, it's impossible to separate yourself into the closed networks, as the bulk of friends and members will still be crossing over to other general areas.
Social networks with local membership and flare are becoming more and more prominent, especially with dating. Being social with people you can never meet based upon proximity is one thing. Having them available within your city is something completely different. Local social networks act as that buffer zone where people can interact and get to know each other without having to meet for drinks or talk on the phone. In 2008, there will be multiple large social networks in every major city. Expect to start hearing radio ads and even a few television spots pop up.
Professional Social Networks
The car business, which is notoriously a year or two behind the times when it comes to the internet, has a few social networks for car dealers popping up. The presence of Automotive Social Networks is either a sign of the end of the world or an example of how any, ANY, profession can find itself with a social network specific to its profession.
Getting advice, networking, sharing experiences — we are professionally based individuals who revolve around our jobs. Few are willing to admit it, but it's true. Having a place with like-minded people makes it easier to cope sometimes. That's the appeal to social networks by profession.
Interest Social Networks
Forums fade. They pop back up, then they fade again. Slowly, they will be integrated into social networks that offer more interaction beyond the forums themselves.
Gaming, for example, has dozens of emerging social networks. Gaming Social Networks like Great Games Experiments offer networks within the networks to allow gamers to become even more specific about their wins and conquests.
Why Now?
What makes 2008 the year that Niche Social Networks will emerge? The answer has 2 parts: Money and simplicity.
With the Facebook Beacon debacle and other outcries for less user data being used for marketing, it makes sense to target networks where the advertisers already know they've got the right audience. Hyper-targeted marketing will continue to emerge, but for now, closed social networks make it much less controversial.
The simplicity aspect is even more important. It is simple from every angle – simple for members to find the answers and networking they need, and simple for developers to make the sites and promote them with very little investment. Google's Open Social and several other applications will make it very easy for these types of networks to get started and grow.

Kerry Named Secretary Of State Candidate
Now that President Obama has nominated John Kerry to be Scretary of State, a new poll shows if a special election were held today for John Kerry's Senate seat, Scott Brown would probably win.
Friends of Ted Kennedy jr. tell the "Boston Business Journal" he's seriously considering a run for Senate while Ben Affleck is playing diplomat while fielding questions about a possible future in politics.
In a taping for Sunday's edition of CBS's "Face The Nation," the "Argo" director and actor was coy when host Bob Schieffer asked if he might make a run for Kerry's U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts, if Kerry becomes Secretary of State.

Brave shoppers already camping out
Thu, 27 Nov 2008 06:47:05 GMT —
While most of us are getting ready for Thanksgiving, some brave buyers have other plans - to camp out in the cold, outside Best Buy.
It's in anticipation of Black Friday, which falls on the day after Thanksgiving and considered to be the start of the holiday shopping season. But with two days still to go, three shoppers in Jefferson City can't wait and have already set up camp outside Best Buy on Missouri Boulevard.
"We're getting a lot of looks from people, laughing and some people waving," said Leann Helling, 36, who wore a purple hat that covered her ears. "A lot of people come up and ask 'Why are you here?' And I don't know. For me it's not unusual. This is what I planned to do a year ago when I saw people camped out."
Helling and her 10-year-old daughter Diana started setting up their blue tent and lawn chairs at 1 p.m. Wednesday - two days before Black Friday. So what are they hoping to get? For her, and Steve - the second man in line - it comes down to one thing: a new computer.
"Trying to get a good deal in this economy," said Helling. "If you can save a buck you're gonna do it. "
Helling said the economy played a big factor in bringing her out. She hopes to save $500 on a new Athlon desktop, which usually sells for around $1200 bucks. This isn't the first time she's camped out. Last year she got there at midnight - but was apparently too late. This year she says she's determined to get that computer - but only for a "good price."
"The computer brought me out, I need a new computer," she said. "I can't even get online, my computer just shuts down."
The last time Helling bought a desktop was 10 years ago, back in 1998. Her daughter, Diana - who sat in a lawn chair bundled up in a hot pink jacket and yellow and blue blanket - said she's excited to get a new computer, and will use it for school.
As for the two night camping trip with her mom? "It's kinda fun," she said, not seeming to mind the cold, or the parking lot scenery. Despite the chilly temperature, Helling said the cold isn't a factor.
"I've camped in Colorado at 20 degrees in the snow on a mountain," she said. "This is not that bad."
Best Buy opens their doors at 5 a.m. Friday.

I have read some about Clonezilla which seems to be able to do what I want but I thought I asked here first, perhaps there is another way that's more suitable for me.
I have two NUC's running Ubuntu 14.04, one is used as a server and the other as a client. I want to make a full system backup (image) of the client and store that on the server. If I put a new hard drive in the client I want to connect to the server and do a full system restore from the stored backup.
Can I do this with Clonezilla? Any other ways? Any advice on what I need to set up to get it working?
Thanks for reading

Ole Miss' newfound success on the recruiting trail has already created plenty of fodder for fans on the message boards claiming that Hugh Freeze and his staff are employing unscrupulous tactics in attracting some of the nation's top players.
The rampant speculation has fans questioning how and why the nation's top-ranked wide receiver, Laquon Treadwell, an Illinois native, came to choose Ole Miss over such well-established programs as LSU, Florida, Ohio State and Notre Dame, to mention a few.
On Tuesday, The Clarion Ledger recruiting blog released a photo showing Treadwell holding several $100 bills, as well as another with two women, each kissing his cheeks while draped on his arms.
Apparently, the pictures were taken during Treadwell's visit to Ole Miss last weekend, after which he had glowing things to say about the city.
Oxford is the best place I've ever been!— Laquon Treadwell (@SuccessfulQuon) January 27, 2013
Treadwell has since deleted the photos, but not before Twitter followers, recruiting message boards and other social media outlets had obtained screen shots of the originals.
While Treadwell is the latest recruit to commit this photo faux pas -- which doesn't mean he committed a recruiting violation -- he certainly isn't the first.
Last year, several recruits were pictured with large stacks of cash, the most notorious of which was Clemson five-star commitment Mike Bellamy, who, after signing with the Tigers, was ruled academically ineligible and left the university.
REFRESHING ANNOUNCEMENT: In recent years, National Signing Day has become a day on which college football's future stars have one last chance to bask in the glory of their high school accomplishments before heading off to their respective schools where they have much to prove.
There is, however, one five-star recruit who plans to buck the signing day hoopla in favor of a private ceremony with his immediate family.
So who is this humble recruit?
It's ESPN's No. 2 overall ranked prospect, linebacker Carl Lawson, Jr., currently an Auburn commitment.
Lawson plans to choose between Auburn, Clemson and Tennessee.
"He's just going to call the school, and it will be done," Carl Lawson Sr. told The Atlanta Journal Constitution. "There's no press conference or anything like that."
WHERE TO, EDDIE?: One of the fastest rising, most coveted uncommitted recruits in the nation, defensive back Eddie Jackson, is set to announce his decision Wednesday at 7 a.m.
Jackson, who was long thought to favor Florida State, has now eliminated the Seminoles and will choose between LSU and Alabama.
After a visit to Alabama two weekends ago, AL.com reported that Jackson had the Crimson Tide as his leader. However, following a visit to Baton Rouge this past weekend, that could have changed.
"All indications are that his LSU visit went very well," NOLA.com | Times-Picayune recruiting analyst James Smith said. "Les Miles and his staff definitely gave him something to think about."

WACO It was a night for making amends.
After a horrendous couple of games on the road, resulting in back-to-back losses to Texas A&M and Oklahoma State, it was a welcomed homecoming for the Baylor Bears.
Robert Griffin III threw for 406 yards his third straight 400-yard game and three scores, Terrance Ganaway ran for 186 yards and two long touchdowns, and the Bears gutted out a 42-39 victory over Missouri on Saturday night at Floyd Casey Stadium. "It was big, we just went out there and got our confidence back," said sophomore Temple product Tevin Reese. "Just to know we can still do it, and let everybody know we're still here."
Reese was one of many Bears to find redemption in the safe confines of Floyd Casey, coming back after dropping a sure touchdown early in the fourth quarter with a bobbling 68-yard touchdown catch on the very next drive, giving Baylor a 35-17 lead with 8:22 remaining.
"It was big to get the ship turned around," said Griffin, a Copperas Cove product.
In the return home, Baylor (5-3, 2-3 Big 12) got an all-around performance it'd lacked on the road, especially from the run game that managed a combined 226 rushing yards the past two weeks. Led by Ganaway's 186, the Bears ground game combined for 291 rushing yards to compile 697 total yards of offense against Missouri (4-5, 2-4).
"We needed that. We just needed to know that we could still run and pass and play good on defense, we did all that today," said Reese, who finished with a career-high 163 receiving yards as one of three Bear receivers with seven catches on the night.
Terrance Williams had an even 100 yards receiving and two touchdowns while senior Kendall Wright added 97 yards.
Coming out of halftime, Baylor wasted little time finding the end zone
Rolling to his left, Griffin forced the Mizzou corner to step up, leaving Williams wide open in the back right corner of the endzone for a 28-yard touchdown strike.
Following a Tigers personal foul penalty, when Williams was tackled late and out of bounds, Griffin took it in himself from 1 1/2 yards out for the two-point conversion and a 21-14 Baylor lead at 13:12 of the third quarter.
"Our biggest thing was, we have to protect our house," said Griffin, who went 27-of-41 passing on the night.
After a missed 54-yard field goal attempt by kicker Aaron Jones his second miss of the game the Bears' defense came up with the biggest play of all as linebacker Elliot Coffey drilled Mizzou tight end Michael Egnew on a short pass play, knocking the ball loose for corner Ahmad Dixon to jump on with 1:50 left in the third.
Two plays later, Ganaway shrugged off two Tigers defenders up the middle before cutting right across the field for a diving 38-yard touchdown scamper for a 28-14 lead.
"It was a corner blitz, and Kendall's screaming 'Corner, corner, corner' and as soon as I look up the corner is blazing in so I just stopped and cut up," Ganaway said. "I cut across the field and just used my ability to get in the end zone."
Ganaway wasn't done with the long runs, though, ripping off an 80-yard touchdown sprint down the Baylor sideline to make it 42-25 with 6:53 to play after Missouri quarterback James Franklin hit Marcus Lucas for a 24-yard touchdown strike 12 seconds earlier.
"We needed this one tonight, so we went out and got it, by all means possible," said Ganaway, who capped the win with a 19-yard first-down run with 1:01 left.

NYU Center for Spiritual Life Receives Temple of Understanding's 2012 Hollister Award
Nov 13, 2012, 17:01 ET from The Temple of Understanding
NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The New York University Center for Spiritual Life (NYU/CSL) leadership team of Imam Khalid Latif, Rabbi Yehuda Sarna and Chelsea Clinton recently received the Juliet Hollister Award for their work in advancing a new model for integrating interfaith and cross cultural education into campus life.
In addition to New York University's CSL, the Temple of Understanding presented Juliet Hollister Awards on October 16th to May Rihani, former Senior Vice President for three international development organizations and the former co-chair of the United Nations Girls' Education Initiative (UNGEI), for her dedication to advancing educational quality and equity in developing nations; and Rabbi Awraham Soetendorp, president and founder of the Jacob Soetendorp Institute for Human Values (The Netherlands), for including interfaith oriented leadership in his institute's work on sustainable development. A Lifetime Achievement Award was given to Rev. Dr. James A. Forbes, Jr. the Harry Emerson Fosdick Distinguished Professor at Union Theological Seminary, for his advancement of greater awareness and understanding of multi-cultural and interfaith values in communities.
Jeanne Parr, trailblazing domestic and international journalist for WCBS during the 60s and 70s and mother of Sex in the City star, Chris Noth, was inducted into the Temple of Understanding's Founding Friends Circle. The commemorative award was accepted by her son, Michael Noth.
Introducers of this year's honorees were a distinguished group of past Hollister awardees and their representatives. The group included Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom for the US State Department, Suzan Johnson Cook; Peabody Prize and McArthur Foundation Award winning urban environmentalist, Majora Carter; Naomi Tutu, social justice activist and daughter of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Dr. Suheil Bushrui, the Baha'i Chair for World Peace at the Center for International Development and Conflict Management at the University of Maryland.
The Temple of Understanding gives Juliet Hollister Awards to religious figures who bring cross cultural understanding and values into the place of worship and secular figures who promote respect for diversity in such areas as the arts, education, media, government, science, law, ecology and social justice. Past honorees include His Holiness the XIVth Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, Dr. Wangari Maathai, Rev. Dr. Thomas Berry, His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal, Dr. Hans Kung, Russell Simmons, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Mary Robinson to name a few.
Held at the Tribeca Rooftop in Manhattan, NY. Performances by the Dance Theatre of Harlem and Bella Gaia were a feature of the event. CNN on camera editorial producer, Nadia Bilchik was the Master of Ceremony.
The Temple of Understanding (ToU) is a leader in cross-cultural education for youth and adults. Founded in 1960 by Juliet Hollister, the ToU is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit and NGO with Consultative Status at the United Nations. The executive director is Alison Van Dyk. http://templeofunderstanding.org/

Re-bind broken keyboard key to unused key
My aging laptop has a key broken - the D key. To replace the keyboard is too expensive, not worth spending £100 on old hardware. I sometimes use an external USB keyboard just to type D but being laptop is not always convenient.
My question is how to bind key letter D to something else, be it a key combo or one of the unused/unneeded keys?
On this italian laptop keyboard there are some keys i never use like Mac style right click menu button next to AltGr or home/end keys i could spare for this.
If you are running X then xmodmap is the tool you need
Thank you, just what i was looking for
xmodmap -e 'keycode 135=d'
That works for you, and gives you a "d" ?
What about a "D" ?
Off-topic: I hate CAPS LOCK so make it act as SHIFT with these commands:
xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock"
xmodmap -e "add Shift = Caps_Lock"
D come up with normal 'shift+new d' press. Stuck the command in a script and openbox start up, works like a charm. Hardest bit is to retrain the mind, still take a bit of time remembering new location.. i like typing fast :)

I t will be safe to assume that nobody goes drouthy in Scott Jamieson's household over the Christmas period.
"I'm in charge of providing the champagne . . . and there will be a fair bit of it," admits the 29-year-old. There are plenty of reasons to raise a glass, of course. A win and a share of third place in the opening two events of the new European Tour season in South Africa prior to the winter break brought about a considerable amount of festive cheer.
After two impressively solid seasons on the main circuit, during which time he finished 60th on the order of merit twice and qualified for the season-ending showpiece in Dubai at the end of each year, Jamieson's career has now moved up to a whole new level. The purposeful way in which he followed up his maiden triumph in the Nelson Mandela Championship by claiming a podium place in the following week's Alfred Dunhill Championship illustrated further his competitive instinct and growing mental fortitude. In this most fickle of pursuits, though, you can't afford to rest on the laurels and, despite the popping of celebratory corks, the calm, collected Cathkin Braes golfer is not the type to get carried away by one fulfilling fortnight.
Loading article content
"Winning on the Tour is what I've been working towards all these years and I wouldn't say it surprised me," said Jamieson, who stood firm in a three-man play-off in the Mandela event to open his account at the top table. "I was very aware that the following week's event was going to be difficult. Suddenly, you're competing as a Tour winner. It was an emotional roller-coaster really, from winning to standing on the first tee of another event. Everyone is back to zero again. I knew it would be hard and I thought a lot about how to deal with it. You just have to get back to business."
Jamieson will get back to business again at the start of January, when he returns to South Africa for the limited-field Volvo Golf Champions event. With the lucrative Middle East swing, featuring some of the world's biggest hitters, swiftly following on from that, Jamieson is eager to hit the ground running and keep the momentum rolling. Having made the big breakthrough, the former Scottish amateur No.1 has had time to reflect and reassess his targets. "I think the goals have changed a wee bit," added Jamieson, who now sits on the fringes of the world's top 100. "I'm now within touching distance of the top 100. With another couple of good weeks, I could be within touching distance of the top 70. From there you have the top-50 in your sights. There is a huge opportunity over the next year to make a real big move up the rankings and it's up to me to take the opportunity."
Like many making the switch from the lofty peaks of the amateur game to the foothills of the professional scene, Jamieson, who joined the paid ranks in 2006, found the transition tough, but his determination to make the grade never wavered. "I never thought it wouldn't happen for me – I always believed I'd get there," admitted the Augusta State University graduate, who juggled a few professional bits and bobs on both sides of the Atlantic before settling down for a full season on the third-tier PGA EuroPro Tour in 2009.
"It did take longer to get to where I wanted to be than I perhaps first thought it would and the hardest part was saying 'right, I'll go back and play full time on the EuroPro Tour and work up from there'. But there are so many players trying to achieve the same thing. Even if you think you're good enough, you just don't waltz on to the tour, you have to earn the right and beat the guys that are just as good as you."
Jamieson did just that. Two EuroPro wins during that 2009 campaign earned him a place on the following year's Challenge Tour, where he would go on to produce an end-of-season burst to clinch promotion to the main circuit. He's not looked back since. Now that he's a Tour champion, it's all about looking forward. So what about 2014, when the Ryder Cup comes to Gleneagles? A highly ambitious target, admittedly, but, "it's important to have big dreams" as Jamieson suggested. "But let's just take it one step at a time," he added, to temper any over-zealous predictions.
"Qualifying starts in September and, obviously, you're looking at winning a couple of times. But having tasted victory I'd like to think I could throw my name into the ring for events that count towards the team. Look at Paul Lawrie this year! Once you get some momentum going, you never know where it will take you."

Was born in Cumberland Co., Pa., March 10, 1840, and was a
son of John C. and Henrietta (Smith) Bush, dec. His wife's maiden
name was Mary J. Hicks, and they were married in 1871 in Clearfield
Co., Pa. She was born July 21, 1853, in Cambria Co., Pa., a daughter
of Jacob and Agnes (Donley) Hicks, dec. Mother living. Three children
have blessed this marriage, Elsie A., John C., and Edith P. Comrade
Bush's loyalty to the Stars and Stripes enthused him to enlist,
and was 21 years of age when he enrolled from Harrisburg, Pa.,
as a private in Co. I, 135 Pa. V. I. In 1864 he was slightly wounded
at Missionary Ridge by minie ball. He was taken prisoner in 1865,
and was confined in Andersonville prison for three months. In
1863 he was honorably discharged at Harrisburg, Pa., and re-enlisted
in Indiana Co., Pa., in Co. I, 46 Pa. V. I. He was detailed as
teamster and spent 30 days in that way. He took part in the great
and famous battles of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Lookout Mt.,
Resacca, Missionary Ridge, Kenesaw Mt., Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta,
Savanah, and several other skirmishes. He was finally honorably
discharged July 20, 1865, at Harrisburg, Pa. His brother Oscar
served in 11 Pa. V. R. C., and was wounded in right knee by shell.
Comrade Bush may be addressed at Belsano, Pa., near which place
he is engaged in farming. (Presidents, Soldiers, Statesmen,

A couple of years ago, Universal offered to mail the "Outer" box for people who owned the Jurassic Park Trilogy DVD (I took advantage of that offer ). Just wondering if they'll do the same for Galactica.

If Cessna were looking for a score on the new interior design for its Citation X upgrade, it might well be a 10.
A fuselage plug adds 15 inches to the cabin length, and a good five or six inches more seated legroom. The cabin will be 25 feet long, 5 feet 7 inches high and 5 feet 5 inches wide.
The additional 15 inches also increases space between the two double-club sections so all eight chairs can be fully reclined. And the seats are roomier and have retractable armrests.
Each passenger seat will have an intuitive touch-screen control unit that doubles as a video monitor, as well as 110/220-volt electrical outlets and multiple USB interface plugs. A proprietary fiber-optic-based cabin management system from Heads Up Technologies will include the latest interface options for greater in-flight productivity

At the very onset of capitalism in England (sometime in the 16th century) the Commons was stolen. In every period of capitalist expansion since then, people's access to self-sufficiency and to subsistence has been destroyed.
Why? So that dispossessed commoners could be made to work for those claiming the wealth of our planet (land, water, forests, food, labour, fuel etc.) as their own private property. This new ruling class of capitalists has used any violent means necessary to hang onto this stolen wealth and the power it gives them over others. Colonialism has been part and parcel of this expansion of capitalism, as has been patriarchy, poverty, slavery, indentured servitude, and the destruction of our collective environment. The legacy of this centuries-long regime of global capitalism is a world of deep inequalities, gross injustices, intense divisions, perpetual war and environmental devastation that threatens the very existence of our planet itself.
In November of 2011, government leaders, some of the most powerful business people in the world and representatives of the World Bank and the World Trade Organization will meet in Hawai'i for the official Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) summit.
Who is APEC?
The official face of APEC is the political representatives of 21 national states (or "member economies" as they like to call themselves): Australia, Brunei, Canada, Indonesia, Japan, Republic of Korea (South Korea), Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, United States, Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), Hong Kong (China), People's Republic of China, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Chile, Peru, Russia and Vietnam. Together, about 40% of the world's population lives within APEC "member economies" which represent almost 50% of world trade.
face of APEC
, however, is Big Business. Corporate heads meet alongside government leaders to "guide" them on the kinds of "voluntary" policies they want to see.
Sweat shop owners, employers paying starvation-wages, destroyers of tropical rainforests, polluters of the world's water, media monopolists and propagandists, will meet in Hawai'i to plot ways to increase their profits at the expense of people and our planet. Working through national state representatives willing to subscribe to this capitalist agenda, APEC has become a driving force for capitalist expansion and intensification. Indeed, "free traders" cite it as a "model" for other "regions" and for the WTO itself.
APEC's Goals
APEC's main goal is to remove all "barriers" to the movement of capital, goods and services by 2020 and, ultimately, to impose throughout the region the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO - the "most undemocratic organization in the world").
The litmus test of APEC lies in the kinds of things it identifies as "barriers." For APEC, small-scale and sustainable farmers, environmental protections (of forests, water, air), labor rights and protections (such as minimum wage standards, health and safety standards and unionization), equality rights, social services, such as food stamps, unemployment insurance, non-private health care and public education are "barriers."
Barriers to what? To more corporate profits.
In a deregulated, market economy where more and more goods and services are commoditized and privatized, global corporations are accountable only to a rogue financial system with only one incessant demand - keep your stock price as high as possible by maximizing short-term returns.
APEC leaders (corporate and state) will tell you that only "economic growth" will "solve" poverty.
They are lying.
Since 1950 the world's total economic output has increased five-fold while the number of people living in absolute deprivation has doubled. That growth has also pushed demands on the ecosystem beyond what the planet can sustain. More capitalist growth has resulted in more poverty, more injustices, more toxins and more garbage.
APEC is not a trade agreement.
Unlike the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the US, Mexico and Canada, the policies agreed to by APEC leaders can be implemented piecemeal by national (or sub-national) governments without any political scrutiny. In fact, the kinds of policies the leaders of APEC can implement through their control over state policies are the kinds of things they have not been able to achieve through "free trade" agreements or through formal, binding negotiations in international bodies like the World Trade Organization (WTO). In this sense, APEC is even more undemocratic than the WTO!!
APEC is profoundly undemocratic and secretive.
Not in one "member economy" has there been a democratic process to discuss, debate and decide upon the content of the policies being negotiated and adopted. APEC sees such debate and democratic decision making as another "barrier" to its goals. The secrecy surrounding APEC discussions give officials and ministers, who, for the most part, hold office only in the short term, enormous power. The policies they enact lock future governments into pursuing the global capitalist agenda.
APEC actively silences discussion on the issues that are most important to people around the world.
At the official APEC summit, there will be no discussions (and certainly no action) on protecting free speech, about ending torture and executions, not a word to ensure that workers have decent incomes and the freedom to join unions to protect themselves from employers, nothing about people's access to decent and dignified livelihoods, about environmental sustainability or providing safe, nutritious food, not a peep about eliminating poverty, ending discrimination, nothing about protecting migrants. And most certainly, any discussion about re-distributing land, resources and wealth equally and equitably will be banned. Discussion of these, and other crucial aspects of a good life and a healthy planet are thought by APEC leaders to impede the progress it can make on furthering the agenda established by corporations.
The past "success" of national governments implementing the global capitalist agenda has devastated people, our social ties to one another and our collective environment. Perhaps the clearest consequence of "neo-liberal" policies has been the obscene growth in the gap between rich and poor and between labor and executive management. Today, the richest 10 percent of the world's population's income is roughly 117 times higher than the poorest 10 percent. This is a huge jump from 1980, when the income of the richest 10 percent was about 79 times higher than the poorest 10 percent. Instead of wealth "trickling down," as was claimed by neo-liberal propagandists, wealth has, in fact, gushed upwards. The 400 highest income earners in the US make as much money in a year as the entire population of 20 African nations - more than 300 million people.
The causes of this growing wealth gap are two-fold: the actions taken by employers and by national governments. In the US, tax rates have fallen on upper income citizens and corporations worldwide. The 2001 and 2003 tax cuts slashed an estimated $175 billion in corporate taxes. Corporate taxes as a percentage of the U.S. economy have shrunk from 4.1 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 1965 to just 1.5 percent in 2002. Meanwhile, U.S. billionaires Bill Gates, Paul Allen and Steve Ballmer of Microsoft, and Larry Ellison of Oracle would not be in Forbes top 20 billionaires had the U.S. government not invested tens of billions of public dollars developing computers and the Internet. Moreover, over $700 billion were given in government bailouts in the US alone to the banks and financial firms responsible for the burst in the real-estate bubble in 2008.
Billionaires' fortunes depend upon paying a large number of their (often sub-contracted) employees poverty-level wages. The billionaire Walton family own Wal-Mart, the largest private employer in the world. Many of its employees in the U.S. are so poorly paid that they must rely on food stamps and other forms of public assistance to get by. Such forms of government aid represent an indirect government subsidy to corporations whose business model does not include paying employees enough to live on.
Although the official line is that President Barack Obama simply wants to "welcome" Big Business and government leaders to his hometown in order to provide "a big economic boost and huge publicity benefits for Hawai'i," the main reason APEC is meeting in Hawai'i is to try and avoid large-scale and spirited protests.
APEC has met intense opposition almost everywhere else it has met. Scenes of police brutalizing protesters are a regular feature of APEC summits. In 2010, thousands of protesters marched and rallied under the banner of No to APEC! and were met by over 20,000 police armed to the max.
Such protests get in way of APEC's propaganda machine that tells us that "everyone benefits from APEC."
APEC believes that people in Hawai'i will welcome it (and its destructive agenda) with open arms. This is not true. People in Hawai'i have been devastated by capitalist globalization for hundreds of years and continues to be held captive because of its strategic position for US military operations in the Pacific, particularly against targets in Asia.
The strategy of holding meetings where it is hoped there will be few protesters has been tried before. After the 1999 "Battle of Seattle" when direct action protesters shut down the meetings of the World Trade Organization, the next WTO meetings were held in Doha, Qatar. Not only was it very costly for protestors to get to Qatar, it was (and remains) infamous for its one-party national state, for illegalizing dissent, making arbitrary arrests and restricting people's freedoms of speech, press, assembly, association, religion, and workers' rights.
To say
"No to APEC"
is to fight for social, economic and environmental justice. It is to demand our Commons so that we can be free: free from hunger, from repression and from exploitation.
Opposing the global capitalist agenda of APEC need not be a retreat into nationalism. Nationalism calls only for strengthening existing "nations" or creating new ones.
Nationalists (of all political stripes, Left and Right) refuse to account for the close relationship between capital and national states. They try to delude us into thinking that national leaders have our best interests at heart. Nationalists pretend that having a national states will make us independent from global capitalism. This is not the case.
Nation states the world over work hand-in-hand with capitalists to exploit people and the planet. Nationalism delivers us to the global capitalist system.
To refuse global capitalism we must refuse the equally global system of national states.
We need to counter global capitalism with a global movement for peace and justice.
One way of framing our responses could be by considering the struggle for the global commons.
There are four key principles historically evident in the practice of commoning and in the rights held by commoners, rights that differ substantially from those meted out by the modern regime of citizenship or even of human rights.
, common rights are "embedded in a particular ecology," one that is reliant on local knowledge of sustainable practices. In this sense common rights are neither abstract nor based on false ideas of the existence of separate "races" and "nations" but are, instead, based on one's actions.
, "commoning is embedded in a labor process" and is "entered into by labor." Hence, commoning, by definition, rejects the exploitation of other people's labor.
, "commoning is collective." It is a social practice.
, commoning is "independent of the state" and the law. There are no sovereigns in the commons.
In sum, commoning is the realization of not only political rights but also the social and economic rights of the commoners. Common rights have historically included the principles of: neighborhood; subsistence; travel; anti-enclosure; and reparations.
Key to the realization of a commons is the nurturing of relationships of community with fellow commoners. The rights held by commoners are the rights of persons. In contrast to the rights of property (which is, ultimately, the right to exclude others from enjoying that which has been privatized), the right of persons consists of the right to not be excluded. Thus, the right of persons is not something that is granted by the powerful. Instead, it is an entitlement that each person carries in her/himself.
Today's commons is only realizable at a global scale and, therefore, against the nation (e.g. citizenship) or even the region or the continent (e.g. "Asia Pacific"). From an ecological perspective, we have long known that destructive (or helpful) practices in one part of the globe have effects, sometimes immediate, on all others. From a social perspective, creating restrictions on the movement of people, plants, animals, food, fuel, medicines, ideas, and more, is tantamount to accepting the imposition of inequalities of one sort or another.
Thus, the commons for which a No to APEC politics struggles is a global one. A No to APEC politics redefines equality and social justice as a relationship among co-members of a global society, and not merely one among national citizens.

apache is barfing!
I've been developing a really large site on a LAMP setup. Last nite at 4AM apache puked and stopped serving pages. then, it stops responding to apachectl commands. Here are the last few entries from the apache log:
[Tue Sep 27 13:40:53 2005] [notice] httpdmon: httpdmon_init
What apache version are you using?
Is there anything in the access logs to suggest a buffer overflow or other attack?
Do you have snort running?
To get it restarted try making sure it is fully stopped then start it:
killall -9 httpd
apachectl start
Server version: Apache/2.0.50
i think the problem is lack of RAM, but i can't figure it out for sure. The webstats get processed at 4:10 AM and the crash happened shortly after.
Why the SIGHUP? What does that mean? Is that specific to apache or is it a lower level system thing?
I don't know if this is what you're asking, but SIGHUP is the hangup signal and is used to tell the server to reload its configuration file. By default, kill sends SIGTERM to terminate.
thanks for the info.
when you say 'server to reload the config file' do you mean apache config or the whole box's linux config? what could have caused the SIGHUP?
In this case, it's Apache. You can send several programs that signal to reload their configuration file and continue on. It's usually quicker then restarting the entire application.
kill -HUP <id>
killall -HUP <name>
Perhaps this post will be useful to you:
The SIGHUP is probably being sent after you do some kind of log rotation I'd guess.
|All times are GMT -5. The time now is 10:36 AM.

Editor's note: GlobalPost's correspondent John Otis had a rare opportunity to embed with the Colombian army during a mission against the FARC. This two-part series details his time in the battle zone and the rise in rebel deserters.
LA MACARENA, Colombia — The earnest plea calling on Marxist guerrillas to give up the fight comes from an unlikely messenger.
The speaker is Elda Mosquera, a one-eyed female guerrilla commander, better known as Karina, who in the 1990s led a series of devastating guerrilla attacks. But last year, Karina turned herself in, and she now promotes the Colombian government's demobilization program.
The propaganda blitz includes radio spots, posters and leaflets dropped from helicopters over rebel-infested areas. Guerrillas are told that by disarming they can begin new lives with the help of government housing, education and job-training.
Since President Alvaro Uribe was first elected in 2002, more than 12,000 members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, the country's largest guerrilla group known as the FARC, have turned themselves in.
The number includes a record 3,027 FARC rebels who demobilized last year. Most were green recruits who quickly became fed up with life in the jungle. But some, like Karina, were high-ranking commanders with years of experience.
For the Colombia army, the demobilizations have produced a kind of virtuous circle. Deserters often provide key intelligence for army operations and as the military strikes more blows against the FARC, more guerrillas lose their will to fight.
One of the army's greatest triumphs, last year's bombardment of a guerrilla camp that killed the FARC spokesman and No. 3 leader Raul Reyes, was based on information provided by a rebel turncoat.
"For us it's much better for these terrorists to turn in their weapons than to die on the battlefield," said Gen. Miguel Perez, commander of the army's rapid reaction force based in the southern town of La Macarena. "That's because when rebels desert it demoralizes the remaining guerrillas."
One of the latest FARC deserters is a 21-year-old explosives expert who goes by the nom de guerre Visages. In an interview inside a canvas tent surrounded by guards, Visages says he was drawn into the FARC by its rhetoric of Marxist revolution and social justice.
But later he realized that rebel commanders enjoyed all the perks — like vehicles and spending money — while the grunts did most of the fighting and dying. Visages decided to quit after a FARC commander forced his pregnant rebel girlfriend to get an abortion.
And as the army offensive intensifies, he says that more and more rebels want to desert.
"Everyday it's one or two deaths in combat or five or six deaths in a bombing," he says. "Many rebels decide that they better get out before it happens to them."
Visages was a FARC militiaman who wore civilian clothes and operated in towns and villages so it was easy for him to desert. When the FARC sent him on a mission to collect an extortion payment from a cattle rancher, he turned himself in at an army checkpoint.
Disgruntled rebels in the jungle, however, must hike through the wilderness for days and avoid guerrilla patrols because the FARC executes deserters.
Visages receives three meals a day at the army base as well as new clothes, cigarettes and magazines. But not all the troops are thrilled by his presence. Visages admitted to detonating a car bomb last year that killed two soldiers and seriously wounded three others.
"How do you feel now about setting off explosives?" asks one army interrogator. "Are you sorry for what you've done?"
Visages replies that he was only following orders.
Before the deserter is transferred to Bogota to begin the slow transition back to civilian life, the army wants information. So, Visages is grilled by police investigators and an army officer.
Sitting across a wooden desk from Col. Alfonso Yunga, commander of the army's Third Mobile Brigade, Visages quickly gives up the identities and locations of FARC collaborators. By the end of the hour-long session, Yungas has a list of about two dozen rebels with pseudonyms like "Fusible," "Dumas," "Cheleco" and "La Negra."
Though the FARC has been reduced from about 18,000 fighters at its peak a decade ago to about 9,000 today, the rebel organization continues to recruit and press-gang teenagers into its ranks. So, the army is stepping up its civic action programs to win over young Colombians.
One efforts sends soldier-musicians into villages to teach guitar. Then there's Armed Forces radio which broadcasts a steady stream of propaganda, talk shows and music designed to prevent youths from joining the rebels and to break the will of those who have already taken up arms against the government.
"My life has changed," sings a former FARC rebel in a song tauting the benefits of disarming. "Now I've got a girlfriend. I'm with my family. I give thanks to God."
