I recently had dinner for the first time at Rey Azteca on New Castle Road. The food was good and all went well until I lost my wallet on the way to my car.
I realized this the next day and was ready to start calling my bank and credit card companies, when a knock came at the door.
To my great surprise, the owner of Rey Azteca was standing there with my wallet. One of his employees had found the wallet on the ground, and the manager had taken the time to drive it to my home.
Needless to say, I was impressed with his honesty and integrity. He was not interested in taking anything for his act of kindness.
I plan on repaying him by visiting his restaurant more often. What a great example for all of us.

In the eyes of Weather Underground's ardent fans, the Weather Channel appears to represent the wrong kind of weather information: personality-driven sunniness and hype, they say, rather than the pure science of data. As Mike Tucker, a computer professional in New Hampshire, put it on Facebook, reacting to news of the deal: "Nooooooooooooooooo! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"And the radical group — is it really okay to wink at terrorists? — got its name from Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues": "You don't need a weatherman/To know which way the wind blows." My post title refers to another Bob Dylan song "All Along The Watchtower": "Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl."
The controversy illustrates the deep national divide between those people who just want to know if it's going to rain, and people who really, really, care about the data underlying the weather. Christopher Maxwell, a manager at a solar energy company in Richmond, Va., is in the really-really-cares-about-the-weather camp. He said he saw the Weather Channel deal as a sad sellout for Weather Underground.
"It seems to happen all the time," he said. "Something great gets invented and sold in the United States, and it gets bought up and destroyed."
Weather Underground was founded in 1995 in Ann Arbor, where it grew out of the University of Michigan's online weather database. The name was a winking reference to the radical group that also had its roots in Ann Arbor....
Now, from the first-linked article, I see:
[Wunderground and Weatherbug] are dwarfed by Weather.com and the other properties owned by the Weather Channel, which is owned by a consortium that includes Comcast, Bain Capital and the Blackstone Group. The Weather Channel sites draw almost 50 million visitors a month. But only half of Weather Underground's users also use Weather.com in a given month, which might be considered a silent protest of sorts.Bain Capital!
You know, it's 2012 and 2 riders are approaching. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Barack Obama... Bill Ayers... Weather Underground. Make your own connections. Mitt Romney... Bain... Weather Channel....
"'There must be some way out of here,' said the joker to the thief/'There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief'/Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth/None of them along the line know what any of it is worth..."
Do you think this is but a joke?

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop carpal tunnel syndrome with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Risk factors include:
The vast majority of carpal tunnel syndrome cases are work related. People whose occupations involve repetitive work with the hands, such as keyboard operators, factory workers, typists, barbers, musicians, and vehicle drivers, are at increased risk. In addition, people who use vibrating tools for long periods everyday, such as jackhammers, chain saws, chippers, grinders, drills, and sanders, may be at increased risk.
Wrist injuries, such as burns, broken bones, compression, or crush injuries, may increase your risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome.
Having the following medical conditions may increase your risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome:
- Arthritis
- Diabetes
- Raynaud's disease , which impairs blood flow in the hands
Water retention from:
- Heart failure
- Kidney problems
- Amyloidosis
Hormone-related conditions, which may include:
- Pregnancy
- Breastfeeding
- Menopause
- Hypothyroidism
- Cushing disease
- Excess growth hormone
Medications, which may include:
- Birth control pills
- Cortisone pills or shots
- Some high blood pressure drugs
- Aromatase inhibitors
- Tumors and cysts in the carpal tunnel
Carpal tunnel syndrome is most often diagnosed between the ages of 40-60.
Women are diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome 3 times more often than men are.
Inheriting a narrowed carpal tunnel increases your chances of developing carpal tunnel syndrome.

From Postfix's site:
- "Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and secure, while at the same time being sendmail compatible enough to not upset existing users. Thus, the outside has a sendmail-ish flavor, but the inside is completely different."
The goal of this article is to setup postfix for virtual mailbox delivery only. There will be no delivery to user accounts on the system (Template:Filename). Further, access will only be available via a web mail frontend (squirrelmail), no direct pop3 or imap access will be granted. It should be fairly easy to allow those additional features given the information below, but it is not within the scope of this document.
For a local mail delivery guide guide, see: Local Mail Delivery with Postfix.

If you have trouble finding a package specific to this How-To, try the resources link at the bottom.
Postfix Installation
Step 1: Install Postfix
Postfix with mysql enabled is required for this HOW-TO. So we will install the package called postfix
[[root@computer]]$ pacman -S postfix
Step 2: Check /etc/passwd, /etc/group
Make sure that the following shows up in /etc/passwd
Make sure that the following shows up in /etc/group
postdrop:x:75: postfix:x:73:
Note: Postfix can be made to run in a chroot. This document does not currently cover this. Might be added later.
Postfix Configuration
Step 1: Ensure DNS setup
For mail delivery on the internet, your dns must be correct. An MX record should point to the mail host. It should be noted that some mail servers will not deliver mail to you if your MX record points to a CNAME. For best results, always point an MX record to an A record definition. More info about DNS and records is beyond the scope of this document.
Step 2: /etc/postfix/master.cf
This is the Pipeline configuration file, in which you can put your new pipes e.g. to check for Spam!
Step 3: /etc/postfix/main.cf
Step 3.1 myhostname
set myhostname if your mail server has multiple domains, and you do not want the primary domain to be the mail host. The default is to use the result of a gethostname() call if nothing is specified. For our purposes we will just set it as follows:
myhostname = mail.nospam.net
This is assuming that a DNS A record, and an MX record both point to mail.nospam.net
Step 3.2 mydomain
this is usually the value of myhostname, minus the first part. If your domain is wonky, then just set it manually.
mydomain = nospam.net
Step 3.3 myorigin
this is where the email will be seen as being sent from. I usually set this to the value of mydomain. For simple servers, this works fine. This is for mail originating from a local account. Since we are not doing local delivery (except sending), then this is not really as important as it normally would be.
myorigin = $mydomain
Step 3.4 mydestination
This is the lookup for local users. Since we are not going to deliver internet mail for any local users, set this to localhost only.
mydestination = localhost
Step 3.5 mynetworks and mynetwork_style
Both of these control relaying, and whom is allowed to. We do not want any relaying. For our sakes, we will simply set mynetwork_style to host, as we are trying to make a standalone postfix host, that people with use webmail on. No relaying, no other MTA's. Just webmail.
mynetworks_style = host
Step 3.6 relaydomains
This controls the destinations that postfix will relay TO. The default value is $mydestination. This should be fine for now.
relay_domains = $mydestination
Step 3.7 home_mailbox
This setting controls how mail is stored for the users. Set this to "Maildir/", as courier IMAP requires Maildir style mail storage. This is a good thing. Maildir format mailboxes remove the possible race conditions that can occur with old style mbox formats. No more need to deal with file locking. The '/' at the end is REQUIRED.
home_mailbox = Maildir/
Step 3.8 virtual_mail
Virtual mail is mail that does not map to a user account (/etc/passwd). This is where all the email for the system will be kept. We are not doing local delivery, remember, so if you wan't a user that has the same name as a local user, just make a virtual account with the same name. First thing we need to do is add the following:
virtual_mailbox_domains = virtualdomain.tld virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_alias, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_forwards.cf virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_domains.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_mailboxes.cf virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmailer virtual_uid_maps = static:5003 virtual_gid_maps = static:5003 virtual_minimum_uid = 5003 virtual_mailbox_limit = 51200000
virtual_mailbox_domains is a list of the domains that you want to receive mail for. This CANNOT be the same thing that is listed in mydestination. That is why we left mydestination to be localhost only. virtual_mailbox_maps will contain the info about the virtual users and their mailbox locations. We are using a hash file to store the more permanent maps, and these will override the forwards in the mysql database.
virtual_mailbox_base is the base dir where the virtual mailboxes will be stored. The gid and uid maps are the real system user account that the virtual mail will be owned by. This is for storage purposes. Since we will be using a web interface, and don't want people accessing this by any other means, we will be creating this account later with no login access. Virtual_mailbox_limit controls the size of the mailbox. I don't know how well this works yet. I have set the size above to about 50MB.
Step 4. /etc/postfix/aliases
We need to map some aliases to real accounts. The default setup by arch looks pretty good here. =D Uncomment the following line, and change it to a real account. I put the user account on the box that I use. Best not to just send mail to root, because you don't want to be logging in as root or checking email as root. Not good. Sudo is your friend, and so is forwarding root mail. Since this is for local delivery only (syslogs and stuff), it is still within the realm of mydestination.
root: cactus
Once you have finished editing /etc/postfix/aliases you must run the postalias command.
postalias /etc/postfix/aliases
Step 5. /etc/postfix/virtual_alias
Create /etc/postfix/virtual_alias with the following contents
MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster postmaster: root # General redirections for pseudo accounts bin: root daemon: root named: root nobody: root uucp: root www: root ftp-bugs: root postfix: root # Put your local aliases here. # Well-known aliases manager: root dumper: root operator: root abuse: postmaster # trap decode to catch security attacks decode: root # Person who should get root's mail. Don't receive mail as root! root: email@example.com
Then run the postalias command on it.
postalias /etc/postfix/virtual_alias
Step 6. mysql_virtual_domains.cf
Create the /etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_domains.cf file with the following (or similar) contents:
user = postfixuser password = XXXXXXXXXX hosts = localhost dbname = postfix table = domains select_field = 'virtual' where_field = domain
Step 7. mysql_virtual_mailboxes.cf
Create the /etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_mailboxes.cf file with the following (or similar) contents:
user = postfixuser password = XXXXXXXXXX hosts = localhost dbname = postfix table = users select_field = concat(domain,'/',email,'/') where_field = email
Step 8. mysql_virtual_forwards.cf
Create the /etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_forwards.cf file with the following (or similar) contents:
user = postfixuser password = XXXXXXXXXX hosts = localhost dbname = postfix table = forwardings select_field = destination where_field = source
Step 9. postfix check
Run the postfix check command. It should output anything that you might have done wrong in a config file. To see all of your configs, type postconf. To see how you differ from the defaults, try postconf -n
Step 10. /etc/rc.conf
Add postfix to the list of daemons. Put it near the right side, after iptables and network. Put it after mysqld, as we are going to be using mysql for some of the virtual domain information storage. It is also best to put it before httpd, as it might be possible, however unlikely, for a webmail user to try something before postfix has fully started.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hotplug !pcmcia iptables network netfs crond sshd mysqld postfix httpd)
Step 11. newuser
We need to create the user for storing the virtual mail. Create a vmailuser as follows:
groupadd -g 5003 vmail useradd -g vmail -u 5003 -d /home/vmailer -s /bin/false vmailer mkdir /home/vmailer chown vmailer.vmail /home/vmailer chmod -R 750 /home/vmailer passwd vmailer
note that 5003 is the gid specified in the postfix main.cf file. note that 5003 is the uid specified in the postfix main.cf file.
Mysql configuration
Step 1. Create a mysql Database
Create mysql database called 'postfix', or something similar.
CREATE DATABASE postfix; USE postfix;
Step 2. Create a mysql user
Add a user for postfix to use. Something like \"postfixuser\". Give permissions for postfix user to the table. This user should be listed in the /etc/postfix/mysqlvirtualdomains.cf file.
The official reference manual has a detailed guide on user management and server administration in general.
The following is just an example for creation of 'postfixuser' with password 'XXXXXXXXXX'. Note that the GRANT statements need to be executed after creating the tables in the next step.
CREATE USER 'postfixuser' IDENTIFIED BY 'XXXXXXXXXX'; GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON domains TO postfixuser; GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON forwardings TO postfixuser; GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON users TO postfixuser;
Step 3. Setup table structure.
Import the following table structure.
CREATE TABLE `domains` ( `domain` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (`domain`), UNIQUE KEY `domain` (`domain`) ); CREATE TABLE `forwardings` ( `source` varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', `destination` text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`source`) ); CREATE TABLE `users` ( `email` varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', `password` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '', `quota` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '20971520', `domain` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', UNIQUE KEY `email` (`email`) );
Step 4. Add a domain.
INSERT INTO `domains` VALUES ('virtualdomain.tld');
Step 5. Add a user.
INSERT INTO `users` VALUES ('firstname.lastname@example.com', 'secret', '20971520', 'virtualdomain.tld');
The above creates the user and sets a password as secret.
This will allow you to use encrypted passwords
INSERT INTO `users` VALUES ('email@example.com', ENCRYPT('secret'), '20971520', 'virtualdomain.tld');
Test Postfix
Step 1: Start postfix
/etc/rc.d/postfix start
Step 1: Test postfix
Lets see if postfix is going to deliver mail for our test user.
telnet servername 25 ehlo testmail.org mail from:<email@example.com> rcpt to:<firstname.lastname@example.com> data This is a test email. . quit
now type the following:
find /home/vmailer
you should see something like the following:
/firstname.lastname@example.com /firstname.lastname@example.com/tmp /email@example.com/cur /email@example.com/new /firstname.lastname@example.com/new/1102974226.2704_0.bonk.testmail.org
The key is the last entry. This is an actual email. If you see that, it is working.
Courier IMAP Installation
Step 1: Install Courier IMAP
pacman -S courier-imap courier-imap-mysql
Configure Courier IMAP
Step 1: /etc/courier-imap/imapd
We set the listen address to LOCAL ONLY. No outside connections.
Step 2: /etc/authlib/authdaemonrc
Step 3: /etc/authlib/authmysqlrc
MYSQL_SERVER localhost MYSQL_USERNAME postfixuser MYSQL_PASSWORD secret MYSQL_SOCKET /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock MYSQL_DATABASE postfix # MYSQL_NAME_FIELD name MYSQL_USER_TABLE users MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD password MYSQL_UID_FIELD '5003' ##note, this is the uid that we set in /etc/postfix/main.cf MYSQL_GID_FIELD '5003' ##note, this is the gid that we set in /etc/postfix/main.cf MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD email MYSQL_HOME_FIELD "/home/vmailer" MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD concat(domain,'/',email,'/') MYSQL_QUOTA_FIELD quota
If your using encrypted passwords by using MySQL's encrypt function. Use "MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD columnname" instead of "MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD columnname".
Step 6: /etc/conf.d/courier-imap
First start the courier-imap daemon then stop it right away. I don't know exactly what this does (if anything.lol), but I have attempted the following step without having fulfilled that precondition and it borked on me. shrug A quick
/etc/rc.d/authdaemond start /etc/rc.d/courier-imap start /etc/rc.d/courier-imap stop /etc/rc.d/authdaemond stop
should be enough. Now, remove the pop3d listings from courier-imap. We are only using the imap facility. Since the daemon is local only (localhost), we do not need the ssl imapd server either. /etc/conf.d/courier-imap
CI_DAEMONS="imapd" #CI_DAEMONS="imapd pop3d imapd-ssl pop3d-ssl"
Step 7: Add courier-imap to rc.conf
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hotplug !pcmcia iptables network netfs crond sshd mysqld postfix authdaemond courier-imap httpd)
Again, make sure to add courier after postfix, after mysqld and after postfix, yet before httpd.
Step 8: Fam and rpcbind
Courier-imap for arch comes compiled with FAM. This means portmap is also required. What used to be portmap is nowadays called rpcbind. If rpcbind is not already installed:
pacman -S rpcbind
Then add the following to /etc/hosts.allow
sunrpc:localhost 127.0.
Now edit /etc/fam/fam.conf
local_only = true idle_timeout = 0
Make sure the two above values are set.
Now add rpcbind and fam to the daemons list in /etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hotplug !pcmcia iptables network netfs crond sshd mysqld postfix rpcbind fam courier-imap httpd)
Make sure that rpcbind starts after network, but before fam, and fam starts before courier. Now start them.
/etc/rc.d/rpcbind start /etc/rc.d/fam start
Step 9: Start courier imap
/etc/rc.d/courier-imap start
check /var/log/mail.log for any errors.
Step 10: Test courier..
Lets see if courier is working:
telnet localhost imap Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [[CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 ... ]] Courier-IMAP ready. A LOGIN "email@example.com" "password" A OK LOGIN Ok. B SELECT "Inbox" * FLAGS (\Draft \Answered ... \Recent) * OK [[PERMANENTFLAGS (\Draft \Answered ... \Seen)]] Limited * 8 EXISTS * 5 RECENT * OK [[UIDVALIDITY 1026858715]] Ok B OK [[READ-WRITE]] Ok Z LOGOUT * BYE Courier-IMAP server shutting down Z OK LOGOUT completed Connection closed by foreign host.
Squirrelmail Installation
Step 1: Install Squirrelmail
You can either download it from the squirrelmail website, or you can use the one packaged in the repos.
pacman -S squirrelmail
Configure Squirrelmail
Step 1: Create secure http site (https)
We are going to create a secure http site. This is so that people can login with plain text passwords, and not have to worry about the passwords getting sniffed (or worry less).
Step 1.1: Edit /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
Add appropriate information. Here is an example section:
<VirtualHost _default_:443> # General setup for the virtual host DocumentRoot "/home/httpd/site.virtual/virtualdomain.tld/html" ServerName virtualdomain.tld:443 ServerAdmin noemailonthisbox@localhost <Directory "/home/httpd/site.virtual/virtualdomain.tld/html"> Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks AllowOverride Options Indexes AuthConfig Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
Step 1.15 Include httpd-ssl.conf in httpd.conf
Simply uncomment this line in your httpd.conf:
#Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
Step 1.2: Create the directory structure
Now, create the directory you specified in the ssl.conf file.
mkdir -p /home/httpd/site.virtual/virtualdomain.tld/html
Step 1.3: Generate a certificate
Follow the instructions here: LAMP#SSL
Step 1.4: Restart apache and test
Make sure that https is now working, and that you can get to the secure site.
Step 2: Put squirrelmail in the directory you created
Either extract squirrelmail, or move it from where the arch package puts it, into the directory you created for the secure http site.
Step 3: Run squirrelmail config utility
cd 'squirrelmaildir'/config
perl conf.pl
Make sure you select 'D', then type in courier and hit enter. Make sure your other options are correct as well. Note: If you use php with safe mode on, make sure that the data dir is owned by the same owner as all the files in the squirrelmail directory. With safe mode off, simply follow the squirrelmail setup directions.
Step 4: Test the squirrelmail setup
Log in with the test account. You will need to login with the form of: username: email@example.com password: secret
Try sending email to non-existent local accounts. You should get an immediate bounce back. Try sending email to external good email accounts, as well as non-existent ones. Just general testing stuff. If everything works fine, then you can add other accounts to the mysql database, and away you go!
If you received an error similar to
Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/lib/squirrelmail/data) is not within the allowed path(s): \ (/srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/) in /home/httpd/site.virtual/virtualdomain.tld/html/squirrelmail/src/configtest.php on line 303
. Edit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf and in the section
<Directory "/home/httpd/site.virtual/virtualdomain.tld/html">
php_admin_value open_basedir /home/httpd/site.virtual/virtualdomain.tld/html:/var/lib/squirrelmail/

Ideas/notes etc. on various open issues in Akonadi.
Idea: Have something like KStandardAction for Akonadi that not only includes the representation of the action but also its state management and the actual operations. Like libakonadi that should be splitted into a generic, type-independent part and be extensible for type-specific actions. This will enable code sharing among many applications and guarantee consistent actions everywhere.
State management: watch selection models of a collection and/or item model.
Use KXMLGUI for context menus in standard views to allow easy extensibility with custom actions.
Generic actions:
The list is definitely long enough to make this worthwhile.
Notes/ideas/complaints about the Akonadi::ResourceBase API:
Smaller stuff that should be fixed before the ABI freeze and is not yet listed above:
Range queries require indexes on certain parts of the payload so it becomes i.e. possible to request only the events that are currently visible in the view. The same is required for server-side sorting so we can request the 200 latest emails sorted by date.
The feature could be implemented by creating temporary virtual collections containing the search result. A calendar would i.e. "search" for all events of the current month, which would already solve things such as not getting notifications for items we are not interested in. This search folder would however have to be modified with a new query as the user scrolls in the view.
The current Lion Mail code uses a dataengine to retrieve data from AKonadi. This needs to be ported to using one of the AKonadi models which are also used in Kontact Touch.
This FAQ primarily deals with technical and design questions, if you have questions about using Akonadi (such as "I get error X when starting Akonadi"), please refer to userbase.kde.org/Akonadi.
Akonadi merely acts as a cache for your data, the actual content stays where it has always been, .ics/.vcf/MBOX files, local maildirs, IMAP- and groupware servers. There is only a limited amount of data stored exclusively in Akonadi:
There are three different parts of source code:
General documentation, including a design overview, is on KDE Community Wiki
The documentation is mainly in the code itself, in the form of doxygen comments. You can find the generated documentation on api.kde.org, for example:
Akonadi currently supports MySQL and PostgreSQL. Basically, every database that is supported by QtSQL can be used, requiring minimal changes in the code at most. However, not all of them provide the features needed by Akonadi (see next two questions).
We tried. Really. It just can't handle the concurrent access very well.
Please refer to [2] for more information on this subject.
We tried that as well, there are two reasons for not using it: No support for the InnoDB engine (which we need for transaction support) and poor availability (only OpenSUSE provided usable packages, needed a patched QSQL driver).
No. Akonadi starts its own local MySQL server (unless configured otherwise, see next question). All you need is having the 'mysqld' binary installed at runtime (usually found in the mysql-server package of your distribution).
Yes, it can. You find the corresponding settings in ~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc.
That does not work unfortunately. Akonadi does not store all relevant data in the database but also uses the file system for configuration and large payload data for example. Also, there is no mechanism to ensure multiple instances have exactly the same version and exactly the same agents and plug-ins installed etc., all of which would be necessary to work on the same database. Finally, there is no notification system to inform the other instances about changes which endangers consistency since the Akonadi server contains internal caches of data in the database. If you want multiple instances to synchronize, use a groupware server (not as bad as it sounds, Kolab for example works with many normal IMAP servers).
If you try this despite the warnings, be aware that there is no safety mechanism in place to prevent you from doing that and you will likely mess up your data in funny ways.
See section "Deployment Issues" above, we are aware of that and working on it. Some of these, like backup/restore are already implemented. But please be aware that most of this issues also existed before (eg. with KMail's custom binary indexes).
No. There has to be one Akonadi server instance per user. However, it is possible to use a shared database server.
No. Akonadi is not a groupware server. It's a local cache only.
EDS (Evolution Data Server) is limited to contacts and calendar data, Akonadi is type-independent. Especially, Akonadi is designed to also handle high-volume data such as email. Akonadi and EDS also differ largely in their access protocol on a technical level (Corba/D-Bus vs. local socket with IMAP-like protocol/D-Bus) and also on a protocol level (type specific vs. generic).
From the developers point of view, there is Akonadi::CollectionCreateJob for that, from the users point of view, most applications allow that, eg. Mailody or akonadiconsole.
However, there is one limitation: Top-level collections can only be created by resources, not by normal applications. The reason for that is that every object (collection or item) is supposed to have an owning resource, that is a resource that is responsible for storing and retrieving that object. There is an ongoing discussion to remove this restriction though.
So, if you want to create a collection eg. for testing purposes, add a resource first. Most Akonadi applications offer an option to do that, a module for KControl is planned as well.
The migration tool is controlled by standard KDE configuration file called kres-migratorrc.
Distributors or system administrators wanting to disable the automatism will probably want to that globally, e.g. by editing the installed default configuration file, or by using KDE's configuration hierachy and using a profile config between that and the user level.
The quickest way to deactivate it for one user account only is to use KDE's kwriteconfig tool to set the respective configration value with a simple copy&paste of the following command:
kwriteconfig --file kres-migratorrc --group Migration --key Enabled --type bool false
Please note that at some point KDE applications such as Kontact, KOrganizer, KMail will be using Akonadi directly, at which point migration either has to be enabled or performed manually.
As of KDE 4.4 (and its development releases and when building from SVN trunk) this already applies to KAddressBook and KMail's address book access.
Akonadi will be automatically started by any Akonadi-enabled application . If you don't want to start Akonadi at all, you can't use any of these applications (see the list of Akonadi-enabled applications). Also note, that some Plasma widgets, such as the "Digital Clock" applet uses Akonadi.
Akonadi and OpenSync focus on different aspects and complement each other. Akonadi provides a unified way to access PIM data for applications and a framework to implement powerful connectors to varies data sources. OpenSync focus is on syncing two sets of PIM data.
An Akonadi plugin for OpenSync is currently under development, allowing to sync PIM data available through Akonadi with any other system supported by OpenSync, especially mobile phones.
More precisely, when should you use for your application specific data instead of eg. just using a local file directly.
Akonadi is especially useful when you need one the following:
However, if you are just looking for a simple way to store your application data without needing one of the above, using Akonadi usually means more implementation work for relatively little gain.
An empty, unused Akonadi database needs about 100 Mb of disk space. This is due to the MySQL InnoDB log files which work similar to a journal in a modern file system. These files are constant in size and independent of the actual data stored in Akonadi. The default size is optimized for performance on average desktop hardware where the use of 100 Mb of disk space is no problem. In other cases, such as multi-user systems or embedded devices, this default might not be optimal though.
The default size can be configured, globally or per-user. The global configuration file can be found in $PREFIX/share/config/akonadi/mysql-global.conf, the per-user file is in ~/.config/akonadi/mysql-local.conf and overwrites settings of the global file. In any of these files, you can change the settings innodb_log_file_size and assign it a smaller value than the default (64M).
For this setting to take effect you need to restart Akonadi. With older Akonadi versions (<=1.1.1) you might need to manually remove the InnoDB log files from ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data for this change to take effect. The log files do not contain data after a clean shutdown and thus can safely be removed while Akonadi is not running.
An alternative approach especially for multi-user systems might be the use of a single, global MySQL server instance.
A very common problem of resources based on Akonadi::ResourceBase are "unguarded exit paths" from one of the methods you have reimplemented there. See the following example:
void MyResource::retrieveItems( const Collection &collection )
if ( someError )
itemsRetrieved( myItems );
In case of an error you leave retrieveItems() without telling Akonadi::ResourceBase that you are done with the task. Therefore, it is assumed the requested item retrieval takes a bit longer (which is not uncommon for resources for remote backends, results typically come in in a result slot connected to a job class for example) and waits until you announce the task is finished.
The following example does it correctly:
void MyResource::itemAdded( const Akonadi::Item &item, const Akonadi::Collection &parent )
if ( noNetwork ) { // transient error
deferTask( i18n( "Offline, will retry later." ) );
} else if ( item_not_valid ) { // permanent error
cancelTaks( i18n( "Got invalid crap, can't store that." ) );
} else {
// store the item here
Item newItem( item );
newItem.setRemoteId( my_new_remote_id );
changeCommitted( newItem );
The following methods require explicit notification that a task has been completed:
Refer to the API documentation of Akonadi::ResourceBase for the various ways to do that correctly, there are a few different ways, depending on the current task:
To confirm a resource is affected by this problem, the "Resource Schedulers" tab of akonadiconsole is very useful (needs to be enabled in the context menu first, causes too much slowdown otherwise). It shows the state of the internal task scheduler of your resource, allowing you to spot stuck tasks.

See Assembly
Last time, I talked about finding the parts of your program that are costing you the most execution time. The best way to improve performance is — usually — to use a better algorithm to get your work done. However, sometimes you just have to tweak what's there to get the best bang for the buck.
The problem is, how do you know what's really there? A statement like
x=x*3 might cause the compiler to generate a hardware multiplication, for example. Or it might realize that it can do the same job with a left shift and an add. Depending on the CPU architecture, one of these might be faster than the other.
Of course, you can dump the output of an executable or run it in a debugger to look at the machine code (objdump is handy and most debuggers will let you step into machine code). That's painful, though. There is a
–S switch to gcc that will cause the output to be the assembly language that the compiler produces.
Starting with the program from last time, I ran:
gcc –o profiler.S –S profiler.c
The output is readable, if not uninspiring. Here's part of it (the rest is available online):
LFB3: .cfi_startproc pushq %rbp .cfi_def_cfa_offset 16 .cfi_offset 6, -16 movq %rsp, %rbp .cfi_def_cfa_register 6 subq $16, %rsp movq %rdi, -8(%rbp) cmpq $1, -8(%rbp) jne .L6
Of course, this is on a 64-bit Intel-based machine. Here's a sample of same code for the AVR (the brains in an Arduino):
.L3: ldd r22,Y+1 ldd r23,Y+2 ldd r24,Y+3 ldd r25,Y+4 ldd r18,Y+5 ldd r19,Y+6 ldd r20,Y+7 ldd r21,Y+8 rcall __umulsidi3 mov r10,r18 mov r11,r19
Obviously, you need to understand your underlying hardware to make sense of this, much less to improve upon it. However, even to someone who knows assembly, it can be painful to relate this to your C code.
There is a way to make gcc cough up more details. Try this command line:
gcc –c –g –Wa,-ahl=profiler-a.S profiler.c
The output (in
profiler-a.S) looks like this:
44 .LFB3: 14:profiler.c **** 15:profiler.c **** /* Recursion factorial */ 16:profiler.c **** unsigned long b_fact(unsigned long x) 17:profiler.c **** { 45 .loc 1 17 0 46 .cfi_startproc 47 0031 55 pushq %rbp 48 .cfi_def_cfa_offset 16 49 .cfi_offset 6, -16 50 0032 4889E5 movq %rsp, %rbp 51 .cfi_def_cfa_register 6 52 0035 4883EC10 subq $16, %rsp 53 0039 48897DF8 movq %rdi, -8(%rbp) 18:profiler.c **** if (x==1) return 1; else return x*b_fact(x-1); 54 .loc 1 18 0 55 003d 48837DF8 cmpq $1, -8(%rbp) 55 01 56 0042 7507 jne .L6
That's a lot easier to read because you find the line of C code you are interested in and then see the corresponding assembly language.
There is also the
–fverbose-asm flag, but I don't find it as useful:
LFB3: .cfi_startproc pushq %rbp # .cfi_def_cfa_offset 16 .cfi_offset 6, -16 movq %rsp, %rbp #, .cfi_def_cfa_register 6 subq $16, %rsp #, movq %rdi, -8(%rbp) # x, x cmpq $1, -8(%rbp) #, x jne .L6 #,
There's some commenting, but not nearly as much as in the first technique.
It is unlikely to happen, but these techniques can really help track down code generation bugs, as well. In some ways, that's even easier because you just have to understand what the compiler is doing (or not doing), you don't have to improve on it.

If you think that first paragraph is silly -- and you might if you dismiss superhero/gangster/action flicks as trivial guy cry -- Wanted is probably not for you. However, if there's even an iota of you that enjoys good guys (and gals) versus bad guys (and gals), presented in a classic masala format, Wanted is most definitely for you.
Fans of Salman shall find much cause for celebration, because his performance here proves he is second to none in this kind of film. Shweta at Apni East India Company and I watched Wanted together and certainly agree on this, and this joint review concludes at this post at her blog.
Radhe (Salman) is a gangster in Bombay, and is sought by many for his 'special skills'. The Bombay underworld is notorious for its ruthlessness to all, countless connections in law enforcement, and support from elected politicians. It is also incredibly interconnected. Each of these traits is on display here, and Radhe is in the midst of it all because of who he is. His peers know he would kill them too if the price were right. Yet, they know they need him. Such is Radhe's ferocity. You know the rest. It's the survival of the fittest, and the lion is the king the rest will conspire against.
Of course, Salman is in fine form. We were saying in the September releases post, this film caters to his strengths, and does he have a ball with it or what? Watch him switch gears from silly to serious, loving, and downright fierce, and do it all convincingly. He's always been really good as a filmi street fighter, and he has ample room to showcase just how effortlessly he can do well. There's even a scene in the first 15 minutes, at a warehouse, which reminds of an Amitabh Bachchan dishoom-dishoom sequence in the amazing Deewaar (1974), written by Salman's father! (Only comparing the scenes, never the films.)
Sure, he knows the art of fighting. But he's dancing really, really well too (credit director Prabhudeva), and is as animated as he is known to be. He's also ably supported by a lovely Ayesha Takia, whose acting and appearance are extremely well-complemented by her classy wardrobe (in this song, for example). The comic timing they share is noteworthy, although not all jokes are. While some of the humor involving Takia and a landlord is very ordinary (and unnecessary), it is not difficult to overlook given it doesn't add much creep to an action film .
The supporting actors are excellent and very well cast. Mahesh Manjrekar, Prakash Raj, Vinod Khanna and Inder Kumar, are all effective. This is the first I recall having seen of Raj, and he's quite brilliant. A very special shout-out to Mahek Chhal, a bad gal named Shayana in the film, who is a sheer joy to watch in her Lara Croft avatar, and in a song in which she really should have been the singular point of focus.
The music (Sajid-Wajid) is a mixed bag, and its integration often a reminder of the 1970s-90s' style of soundtrack inclusions (read pointless). The actors and choreographers make something of little, which is why most songs make for fun entertainment. (Listen to all songs at this IndiaFM link.) Our guess is this one was edited out for length -- could someone in India please confirm if your print has it?
Bombay and the way it is pictured throughout is apt. Shots of the roadway mentioned most often at this blog (that would be Marine Drive, but of course!) give way to the alleys infested with criminals, giving a sense of the extremes the city is rightfully associated with. A scene with the Haji Ali dargaah is used to good effect in pinpointing the disconnect in practice between the ideal and actual. A scene in which the villains speed by what sure looks like the Wankhede Stadium (of cricket) is critical. A definite highlight throughout is the cinematography.
No mention of Bombay and this film would be complete without specific mention of the beautifully picturized and slightly addictive 'Jalwa', with the colorful and spectacular festivities of Ganesh Chathurthi. I've enjoyed the festivities in the city on several occasions, there's hardly anything overdone about the grandeur with which it is showcased here. Here's a cool video on its making, featuring Prabhudeva, Salman, Boney Kapoor, and Sajid-Wajid (if the video below does not work, please visit this page):
My only big complaint with Wanted is that it goes by too fast! It's a fun action entertainer at its core and that is where it is at its strongest. Don't watch it for the plot or screenplay (this would've been much better with more seriousness, less masala, and less juvenile comedy) -- it's not all intended to make sense, and is self-aware in its approach. Watch it for Salman and the rest of the cast who never relent in their pursuit to entertain. Prabhudeva has managed to assemble a solid cast that might not be immensely challenged, but certainly seem to have had fun with their involvement in this, which (as is often the case) translates to a fun viewing experience.
Now, please head over to Apni East India Company here for lots more on the film!
Movie rating: 3.75/5 (Very good!)
This easily cracks my top five for the year. Definitely getting the DVD.
Music rating: 3/5 (Above average)
Works for the film because of the choreography, although the songs aren't all needed.
My classification: R (for language, violence)

How About an Open Source Library System?
Working with school systems one thing you will notice in almost every case is a pathetic library…there is just not enough money for books. Each district has a budget for books which is often augmented by a Library Fair or some type of way of selling stuff to get money for the Library. But still there just is not enough money for kids to have books.
If you go to your local school and dig into the finances for the library you will see one of the greatest American Crimes. I found that the school system I was working with was paying twice as much money each year for a Library automation system than they provided for books! Can you believe this, kids loosing the opportunity to read so librarians have a scanner to read bar codes and a pretty screen to track book check outs. Ok….so you probably do need a check out system but the cost is not acceptable.
In rural areas kids do not have a town library, if they want to read books they access the school library. If fact in many small towns the school library is all there is for the people in that community as well. So for a small town a free library automation program is really a necessity.
Open Source does provide some interesting options for Library programs. The best one I found was the Evergreen Library System This system is a very full featured system that will do everything you need and is actively developed. If you want to get up to speed quickly you can download a VMWare image and have a library system running in a few hours. It has directions for compiling Evergreen, not for beginners, and it also has directions for Windows and Linux client setup. There are forums, documentation and chat for problems. It actually has more support than the former program that required you to pay for support.
Cost Comparison
I did the research for a small school system using an Open Source Library system like Evergreen and the school would save over $12,000 in 10 years. Doesn't sound like much…well $12,000 in this school system for books would transform the lives of many young adults. I did the research for a bar code reader which will work with the system for only $150. The only real cost for the system is the time to learn how to set it up and learn how to use it.

Butch Jones: The Choice to Conduct Yet Another Rebuild at Tennessee
This morning, the University of Tennessee announced that Butch Jones, the University of Cincinnati's head man for the past three seasons, is the choice of Dave Hart.
As of the time of the announcement, Jones was not the choice of the majority of the Vol Nation.
Even with the lucrative price tag of $18 million over six years, he likely wasn't Tennessee's first choice, or second choice, or third choice. He likely wasn't in the top twenty of desired candidates for the vast majority of fans.
But, regardless of the secrecy of the actual process, executed priorities, and actual timeline of the search, Butch Jones is now the head coach of the Vols.
The Unveiling
At 2:30 pm EST this afternoon, Lyle Allen Jones, Jr., the son of a police chief, was unveiled to the Vol Nation in the Peyton Manning Locker Room.
It had already been a busy day. He met with his Cincinnati Bearcats squad at 7:30 am this morning to tell them that he had accepted an offer from Tennessee. Jones indicated in the press conference that his players "started clapping, applauding" which was a comment perhaps intended to portray the incident as a show of respect and affection for a 'players coach'. Then, there was a flight south to Knoxville to hold a meeting with the Tennessee players. Jones said he sensed excitement within his new squad this morning. It was reported from one source on Twitter that Tyler Bray, Justin Hunter, and Daniel McCullers were in attendance for the presser.
When Jones took the podium, he delivered a scripted message that made it obvious he had been made aware of the 'hot buttons' with regard to the recent Derek Dooley era.
He indicated that total honesty with players is paramount to building a successful program. To build upon the legacy and tradition at Tennessee, Jones indicated that his players and coaches will be a champion at everything that they do, both on and off the field. "If you win off the field, you will win on the field", he said.
Jones turned to the subject of a coaching staff, and said that his chosen coaches will form "the best football staff in the country" filled with individuals of character, teachers, motivators, and recruiters. The inevitable 'Tee Martin question' was asked later during the Q&A, and Jones was non-committal except to say that he would "reach out" to the Vol legend (currently a coach at Southern Cal).
But more than any statement with the intent of repairing past misdeeds, Jones addressed Vol lettermen:
To our letterwinners, you are the foundation. We will have an open door policy with our practices. You have laid the foundation for us to have much success for many years to come. I'm a firm believer that our letterwinners are the program. They will be welcomed back at any time. I look forward to getting to know everyone.
Jones certainly hit those hot buttons head on. Scripted or not, it struck a chord, and this song absolutely had to be sung today.
In a rather awkward portion of the delivery, Jones indicated that he had received a text message from Peyton Manning about four days ago. Apparently Manning was selling him on Colorado (a job that Jones nearly accepted but turned down). But the point of the story was introducing the aspect of the importance of forging a relationship with former players.
Jones is now finally in what he described to his former Cincinnati players as his "dream job." He indicated that he didn't feel slighted as being a third or fourth choice, responding to a question by saying, "I think I was my wife's third choice" but that looking at 20 years of marriage, it has worked out pretty well. And, he wasn't put off by his predecessor's short opportunity to right the good ship Volunteer: "Absolutely not…. I just won an opportunity to be the head football coach here. I'm excited about that opportunity."
It wasn't the dazzling show that Derek Dooley put on nearly three seasons ago in the very same room. But it was the unveiling of what most observers saw as a 'real football coach', a 'coaches' coach', and a 'players' coach', without the Southern accent.
The Chase
Tennessee most certainly didn't expect to be in this situation. Plan 'A', at least as it was perceived by the general public, didn't bear fruit. Gruden wasn't in the net (and in my opinion was not really that interested). Gundy was just playing the field. And Charlie Strong had everybody believing he was coming to Knoxville in a return to the SEC before he spun around on his heels and said he wasn't going to take that next step upwards.
After Strong spurned Tennessee, the following names surfaced on Thursday morning: Bo Pellini, Hue Jackson, Butch Davis, Dan Mullen, Greg Roman, Kirby Smart, Tommy Tubberville, Mike MacIntyre, and others.
The good thing about the landscape on Thursday morning was that it appeared Dave Hart had a lot of options. It was reported that Hart had background checks on at least 20 coaches. But he surely needed them because there were no realistic candidates left that could be dubbed a 'home run hire', if there is such a thing.
There were some lingering voices screaming for Bobby Petrino. But is an Athletic Director at a major university going to seriously consider a candidate that has lied to his former bosses? Multiple times? About serious issues?
There were cries for Larry Fedora and Rich Rodriguez. But the likelihood of a coach leaving a quality program after only a single season is slim, unless you are remembering the sudden exit of Lane Kiffin three years ago.
And, there were the predictable voices hollering for Phillip Fulmer, which deserves absolutely no comment.
But two media outlets in Knoxville — GoVols247 and VolQuest — announced on Thursday afternoon that Butch Jones had emerged as the front runner. GoVols247 indicated that the vacancy at UT was "Jones' job to turn down." It was also indicated that Alabama Defensive Coordinator Kirby Smart was the fallback. VolQuest reported that there was no formal offer or even a formal interview.
The general knee-jerk response was rather predictable. It was angry. And it was ugly.
Initial comments throughout the entertaining world of social media focused on Butch Jones' Cincinnati team being the only 'signature win' in the ugly three seasons of Derek Dooley. Jones was dubbed "Dooley 2.0". Other comments focused on Butch Jones being the lead candidate of programs like Purdue, Kentucky, and Colorado (the Denver Post once reported that Jones had agreed to take the Colorado position).
But it was interesting how the national media — those that had heavily criticized the Derek Dooley hire three years ago — were nearly unanimous in praise of Butch Jones as a football coach and as a very smart hire by Tennessee. The Vol Nation seemed to circle the wagons: they turned outward and spewed venom at the national writers and commentators; and they turned inward and spewed venom at Dave Hart, Jimmy Cheek, and even at Butch Jones himself.
It was the Battle of the Alamo — a lost cause, because Butch Jones was one football coach that actually wanted to be Derek Dooley's replacement.
At today's unveiling, Dave Hart let it be known that he indeed had "reached out to Jon Gruden in the process to set up a meeting, but word came back that Jon was very happy doing what he was doing and would not be coaching." Hart also stated that with regard to his candidate list, Jones was "on that list all along. We did not get a face to face until… last evening (in Lexington, Kentucky). I knew he was weighing the Colorado job. I knew he had been offered a couple of other jobs (Purdue included) and really felt secure in Cincinnati. It was not 20 minutes into our conversation that lasted through the night that I could see genuine passion. It wasn't artificial when he said 'Dave, this is my dream job.' I knew that was coming from his heart."
Hart also gave a bit of an extension to a statement by the University of Cincinnati Athletic Director (who this morning indicated his appreciation for how Hart handled Tennessee's end of the process). Hart said "What I've always done my entire career is reach out to my peers and say this: 'I'm not calling for permission. That's a misnomer. I'm calling out of professional courtesy.' When I'm on the other end of this, what I tell callers is if you want information about the search, you need to go to the school that's in the search. I don't comment on someone else's search, and I've always done that."
And in terms of the role of UT Chancellor Jimmy Cheek, Hart indicated that Cheek "listened… understood… [and] met with the candidates. He was as involved as 'you tell me what to do and I'll make it a priority.' And he did that."
And, yes, Derek Dooley's Vol for Life program will continue. Hart said that Jones is "very excited about that and he met briefly and talked to Anton (Davis) about that a little bit when he came in. That's a priority for our program, something Derek deserves a lot of credit for establishing and putting in place."
The Man
Butch Jones, who will turn 45 years old next month, has climbed up the coaching ladder via the small college route to the mid-majors.
The native of Saugatuck, Michigan (on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan) played his college football in the late 1980's for the Ferris State University Bulldogs of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (NCAA Division II). He immediately went into coaching, earning a graduate assistantship at Rutgers as a defensive assistant. His first significant coaching position — as an offensive coordinator — came at Wilkes University, a Division III school in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania (Middle Atlantic Conference). One of his teams progressed deep into the Div III playoffs.
Jones' finally came to NCAA Division I football when he became a position coach for four seasons (1 for tight ends and then 3 for running backs) at Central Michigan of the MAC. The Chippewas were for the most part a dreadful team during this period (6-5, 4-7, 2-9, 3-8). Regardless, Jones was promoted to the position of Offensive Coordinator in 2002, the position that he held for three seasons that saw no improvement in the won-loss columns (4-8, 3-9, 4-7).
A significant event was the hiring of Brian Kelly as the new head coach in 2004, Jones' last season as offensive coordinator. Kelly vastly improved the performance of Western Michigan during the following two seasons (6-5 in 2005 and 10-4 in 2006 after the 4-7 record in 2004). But Jones was not part of those coaching staffs — he had fled for West Virginia to be a position coach (tight ends) under Rich Rodriguez who had rebuilt the Mountaineers to a two-time Big East co-champion. When Jones was in Morgantown, Rodriguez's Mountaineers went 11-1 and 11-2 with winning appearances in the Sugar Bowl and Gator Bowl (wins over Georgia and Georgia Tech).
When Brian Kelly left Central Michigan for the University of Cincinnati, the Chippewas reached out to their former offensive coordinator to fill the open position. Kelly had quickly built Central Michigan to a MAC champion in just three seasons (4-7, 6-5, 10-4). So, Jones inherited a nearly finished project that he had earlier participated in for seven long seasons. The new head coach enjoyed the fruit of Kelly's rebuilding job by leading Central Michigan to 8-6, 8-5, and 11-2 records that included two MAC championships and three bowl appearances.
Meanwhile, Brian Kelly had taken a somewhat floundering Cincinnati program (coached by Mark Dantonio who is now having success as the head coach at Michigan State) and came within a hair of a shot at the national championship in 2009 (10-3, 11-3, and 12-0 in that 2009 season). So when Kelly bolted from the Bearcats for South Bend (at a time when Mike Hamilton could have had Kelly instead of Lane Kiffin), Butch Jones stepped in once again to fill Kelly's departed shoes.
The year 2010 was a rough start in Cincinnati for Butch Jones. A 4-8 record was a tough pill to swallow after the insane success that Nippert Stadium had hosted the previous season under Kelly. Players had a difficult time adapting to the new coach and his style, not to mention his football philosophy. The Bearcats lost 5 of their last 6 games that inaugural season. But better times emerged quickly. Jones led Cincy to two consecutive Big East Co-Championships (10-3 and 9-3). He was honored as the Big East Coach of the Year by CBS Sports this season and was bestowed the same title in 2011 by the Big East coaches, despite the beat-down his Bearcats suffered at the hands of Derek Dooley's Vols in Neyland Stadium that season.
The Future
So what should Tennessee fans expect of their new head coach?
Based on his experience at Cincinnati and Central Michigan, Jones' teams will likely play hard for 60 minutes, and his players will have a high level of respect for him.
His offenses will likely be balaced, relying primarily on the running game within an up-tempo scheme not afraid of the vertical passing game. Jones, in today's press conference, indicated that he doesn't like the word "spread offense" because it implies finesse, although that is how people most commonly describe his offenses — "spread", "West Coast", etc. He emphasized that his offense at Tennessee will be a physical-style and a pro-style set (even though quarterbacks who have played for Jones in the past have tended to be multiple threat-type players who can run and pass). This season, the Cincinnati offense ranked 44th nationally in total offense, not quite up to the level of the high-powered Tennessee offense of 2012.
Defensively, his scheme will likely be a 4-3 base defense. Today, Jones characterized his defensive style as 'swarming'. This season, the Cincinnati defense was ranked 41st in yards per game. This will be a welcomed improvement over the disaster seen in Knoxville this season.
Butch Jones' coaching staff at Cincinnati included two assistants with SEC coaching experience: defensive coordinator John Jancek and tight ends coach Dave Johnson were assistants at Georgia. Jones made a special effort at today's press conference to outline requirements for what he terms will be the "best football staff in the country."
But with his coaching abilities widely recognized throughout the country, the main question with Butch Jones' transition to the SEC will be his recruiting abilities.
Based on the level of recruiting in the Big East Conference, Jones could be seen as having been a decent recruiter (nationally, though, his recruiting ranked in the low 50's). And, as he said today, Jones was in charge of recruiting in the state of Tennessee when an assistant at West Virginia, so he does have experience in his new home state. And, his Cincinnati squad has several players from the South, most notably from Florida.
Recruiting is the lifeblood of a successful college football program. And Jones of course knows that. Today, Jones said that "you win with players."
That was the biggest understatement of the press conference.
So, one odyssey is over. But another begins. In earnest.
The fanbase has little to hold on to with this hire other than hope, based on the fact that Butch Jones has a winning track record as a head coach, something that the last Tennessee coach did not. Jones, in six seasons as a college head coach, is 50-27, with five bowl games, four conference championships, and two conference coach of the year honors under his belt.
But this is the SEC, the most dominant, powerful, physical, and competitive college football conference in the land. It is ruled by the shadow of Nick Saban which covers all SEC coaches at the moment.
But in that darkness lies a longshot. Before Saban came to the SEC as head coach of LSU, his record at Michigan State was a modest five games above the .500 mark with an ugly 0-3 mark in bowl games. Not many people believed at that time that Saban, a northerner with head coaching experience only in the MAC and the Big 10, would be able to survive the recruiting wars in the South. But he did, and continues to do so in a dominating fashion.
And this is what lies ahead for Butch Jones and his Tennessee Vols — the most imposing challenge facing any new coach in college football today.
May he thrive in the cauldron that is Knoxville, the University of Tennessee, and the SEC.

since we know nothing about what will happen i think a gut feeling at this point is as good as anything. my gut feeling about dooley was not good, but my gut feeling about jones is good……hope the results of this second gut feeling is as accurate as the first gut feeling was……………..did that make any sense????

Single-payer takes on fresh debate
January 27, 2013
By Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont press bureau
MONTPELIER — A battle of ideas will be waged with a book of numbers as the Shumlin administration this year continues to make its case for single-payer health care.
A long-awaited report unveiled by administration officials last week has become the latest touchstone in a three-year-old debate over the merits of moving to a publicly financed system of universal care. To proponents of reform, the 90-page document confirms the clarity of Gov. Peter Shumlin's vision.
"You can cover all Vermont residents with better coverage for less money in a universal system," Robin Lunge, director of health care reform for the Shumlin administration, told a panel of lawmakers Friday morning.
To skeptics, however, the study, commissioned at a cost of $300,000 from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, uses junk math to paper over the one question on which the future of the reform effort hinges: Who's going to pay?
"I would immediately challenge this analysis as being misleading, quite frankly," said Jeff Wennberg, executive director of Vermonters for Health Care Freedom, a group that has been working since about this time last year to fight single-payer. "Any representation that there are going to be savings as a result of this reform should be looked at with the most skeptical eyes."
Wennberg's group has little sway in the Democrat-controlled Legislature. But it lends voice to an anti-single-payer sentiment that even the most ardent reform advocates say will intensify as the movement ages.
People like Lunge will try to use findings in the new report to sustain momentum long enough to make it to single-payer, something Shumlin has said he'll accomplish by 2017.
To Mark Larson, commissioner of Vermont Health Access, the "big story" out of the report is the savings waiting to be had in a reformed system. The report found that Vermont will, over the first three years of single-payer, save a cumulative total of $281 million.
A 2009 study performed for lawmakers by Harvard economist William Hsiao also predicted savings under a single-payer framework. Larson said the latest analysis, however, is even more credible, since it bases its actuarial assumptions on specific provisions in Act 48, the single-payer statute enacted in 2009.
"Once again, we have demonstrated that a reformed health care system could provide great value to Vermonters and reduce the cost paid by Vermonters," Larson said.
Some lawmakers, however, said they were taken aback by the scantness of the savings. Vermont will save an average of about $93 million annually over the first three years of single-payer, according to the report. But that's in a $6.3 billion health care system, meaning the savings amount to less than 1.5 percent annually.
"I've heard some people refer to that as a rounding error," said Rep. George Till, a Jericho Democrat, medical doctor and member of the House Committee on Health Care. "You're going to upend a system that big and that critical to our state for such a small benefit? It just seems like a big gamble for such a small payoff."
Lunge said price comparisons alone don't tell the story. Not only will the reformed system be cheaper, according to Lunge, it will be of a far higher quality than the one Vermont would otherwise have.
The report assumes minimum quality standards outlined in Act 48 — standards that would require the single-payer system to provide better coverage than most Vermonters enjoy now.
For example, the average coverage plan for an employee getting coverage through a small business has an actuarial value of about 72 percent. That means that the insurance company will pay, on average, 72 percent of health care costs incurred by the individual. Coverage in the single-payer system envisioned in the report, meanwhile, would have an actuarial value of 87 percent.
Additionally, Lunge said, the reformed system would extend coverage to the estimated 12,100 individuals who still won't have insurance in 2017 — people who would otherwise continue to live without insurance. And the single-payer cost calculations also include guaranteed vision and dental for people under 18.
She said the dollar value of perks unique to the reformed system total $547 million annually, money she said should be viewed as savings that the state is reinvesting into a better health care system.
More importantly, Larson said, the reformed system allows the state to minimize the financial burden on individuals and businesses by maximizing revenue from the federal government.
Without reform, according to the report, individuals and employers will collectively pay more than $2.2 billion on insurance premiums in 2017. In a reformed system, however, those same entities would have to come up only $1.6 billion in public financing, i.e. taxes.
That's a big tax, as Wennberg's groups has pointed out — more than three times the amount raised by the income tax.
The administration was accused last week of shirking its statutory duty to recommend a financing plan for raising that money. Indeed, the report fails to suggest what tax ought to be used to pay for single-payer.
But Larson said the state has three years to pinpoint a precise funding mechanism. The important takeaway now, he said, is that Vermonters are already spending that money.
"Individuals will pay $2.2 billion in private premiums, or we could finance it publicly for $1.6 billion," Larson said. "So we're not talking about new money, we're talking about people paying in a different format, and paying less."
Wennberg said that sounds great, if you believe the numbers. But he said there's good reason Vermonters shouldn't. Specifically, he pointed to one of the biggest sources of alleged savings in the new system: the increased Medicaid match.
Larson said the unified system will allow his office to draw down $249 million in federal Medicaid dollars that Vermont would forgo under the status quo. Wennberg said there's no reason Vermont shouldn't be able to maximize its Medicaid eligibility in a free-market health care system.
"They have absolutely no justification for crediting that $249 million to single-payer," Wennberg said. "They're taking credit for things that have nothing to do with single-payer reform."
If you back the $249 million out of the report's model, he said, then the savings not only disappear, but the single-payer system actually will increase overall health care costs.
Larson said a universal system is uniquely positioned to squeeze out maximum Medicaid revenue. The uninsured and under-insured people that would remain in a for-profit model, Larson said, are the same population that a universal system could use to draw down federal aid.
"If everyone is enrolled, then it becomes my office's role to figure out for whom we can get the federal Medicaid match," Larson said. "If someone has another proposal for how to do that, I haven't heard it."
Another outstanding concern: whether the proposed system will pay doctors, hospitals and other providers enough to sustain a functioning health care industry.
The report assumes that providers will be compensated at 105 percent of what Medicare pays. But commercial insurers currently reimburse at an average of 152 percent of Medicare. And while the reformed scheme would do away with paltry Medicaid reimbursements — that program pays only 82 percent of Medicare — it's unclear whether the new, blended reimbursement rate would be better or worse for doctors.
Conventional wisdom in Montpelier had been that the new report would be trotted out for its big reveal and then stored in the back rooms until 2015, when the Shumlin administration has said it will be more appropriate to begin pondering financing schemes.
But Sen. Tim Ashe, a Chittenden County Democrat/Progressive and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said he plans to make significant progress this session on a financing plan.
Ashe said Vermonters won't be able to kick the tires on the single-payer proposal until they know what it means for them. And he said that means addressing the issue of cost as soon as possible.
"It is my hope that at the end of this year, this comm will be able to answer to the following types of questions: I am an employer who pays 5 percent of payroll for health care — how will these different financing schemes affect me? I am a self-employed midde-income Vermonter — how will these different financing schemes affect me?" Ashe said. "We want to be able to answer those kinds basic questions, because those are the questions that people are going to be asking."

For Salma Hayek, her role in "Everly" was her toughest yet.
"It might not seem like shooting those guns is physical, but it was," Hayek told the crowd at Comic-Con on Thursday. "They were heavy!"
Hayek plays a captured woman who tries to escape from an apartment building by any means necessary. The "Desperado" and "Frida" star told fans at the pop-culture convention that "Everly" shows off the determination of women. It features the 47-year-old actress taking down waves of baddies with guns, grenades and an assortment of other artillery.
"We can do amazing things," she told the audience. "But please don't go shooting anyone. It's a metaphor."
"Everly" filmmaker Joe Lynch, who previously directed "Knights of Badassdom," called the titular role a strong female character, but he also scoffed at the moniker.
"That shouldn't even be a thing," Lynch said. "It should just be strong characters."
