text: Tomorrow night (March 5) kicks off our annual Marjorie Lynn Bank Lecture Series! The first lecture features John Seyjagat, curator of our Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extremes exhibit! To give you a sneak preview of tomorrow night's talk, we sat down with John to get an inside look at his day-to-day work at the Aquarium: How long have you been at the Aquarium? About 10 years. How did you get your current position? I started as a consultant to the Exhibit and Design team back in 2002, and when the curator position became available in 2003, I applied and got the position. Describe a typical day at work for you… I like getting in to enjoy a period of undisturbed work, so I get in at 6 am. I do prep work and get ready to meet my staff at 7:30 am. By 8 am, it is time to work with staff and assist with any animal matters. By 9 am, the exhibit is open and ready to receive the public. At 10 am, our volunteer staff arrives. I give them their daily update and the tools necessary to wow our visitors. In the early afternoon, I again meet with staff for updates and firm up the afternoon routine. Most of my afternoons are dedicated to Biological Programs staff meetings or bigger projects related to the Australia exhibit. By 3 pm, I've met with my late shift staff for updates and briefings and planned their night. Even when I leave the Aquarium for the night, I am on my pager 24/7 just in case. That's a non-hectic, good day! What's your favorite spot within the Australia exhibit? The area in front of the Barramundi. The barramundi in our Australia exhibit! If you could trade places professionally with anyone in the world, who would it be and why? Sir David Attenborough. I worked with him on two films and was able to talk extensively with him during both projects. I learned so much about zoo-geography. The guy is as brilliant as he sounds! What is your favorite animal and why? Edentates (mammals that have little to no teeth, such as the sloth) and the silky anteater. This is the animal that dragged me into the zoo world. I was one of two people in the world who kept silky anteaters and wanted to learn more about them. Sloths are part of the edentate mammal order. What's one thing very few people know about the Australia exhibit? Its state of the art mechanics can be controlled from a computer or cell phone from anywhere in the world! Any exciting upcoming projects or research you can tell us about? The mouth almighty is the only freshwater cardinalfish in the world and is found in northern Australia and New Guinea. This fish may be the origin of all cardinalfish species, including the endangered Banggai cardinalfish. We are currently partnering with the New Jersey Academy of Aquatic Sciences to research the evolutionary biology of this species group to hopefully make a linkage to the origin of all cardinalfish. Want to know more about our Australia exhibit and John's exciting work? Join us tomorrow for his lecture in Baltimore! All lectures are free for Aquarium donors; $5 for members; and $10 for non-members. Reservations required: 410-659-4230. A light reception will be held at 6:45 pm, followed by the curator's talk in the Lyn P. Meyerhoff Auditorium.

Josh Magennis' career scaled new heights when he helped Northern Ireland defeat Ukraine and he joked he might as well aim for the moon if Michael O'Neill's men can overcome Germany.
Northern Ireland's first ever European Championship finals win in Lyon on Thursday kept them in the last-16 hunt in France and three points over the reigning world champions in Paris will see them advance to the knockout stages.
Magennis, 25, scored his first international goal in the qualification-sealing win over Greece back in October, but that milestone has been eclipsed by the victory over Ukraine, and even that fresh memory will be bettered if O'Neill's side can produce a famous triumph in the French capital next Tuesday.
"The Greece game was the pinnacle of my international career then because of my first start and first goal and getting to the European Championships," Magennis said.
"To get to what we call the Graceland and to just win in the style that we won was fantastic.
"(But) I've never felt an experience to get in a changing room after the (Ukraine) game with such a brotherhood of team-mates.
"We have to go into every game thinking we will win, but if we win in Paris, anything could happen...book a first-class ticket to the moon!"
The Kilmarnock striker came off the bench to help set up the second goal for fellow replacement Niall McGinn in a move which showed Northern Ireland are not just the physical bullies one Ukrainian player had pegged them as.
Those comments from Ruslan Rotan, coupled with suggestions from pundits such as Ray Wilkins that they would be eliminated without securing a point, rankled with O'Neill's squad.
"We know now, and most importantly the other teams know now, we are a formidable force," Magennis said.
"They can't write us off as just being Northern Ireland or underestimating us or disrespecting us. If they do, that type of performance proved we will damage most teams.
"As a person your ego never wants to take a hit, regardless of what you say.
"We are an effective team the way we play, we know we are not going to be an 80 per cent possession-based team. It's all about making the right decisions at the right times. That's what we proved."
Magennis also hailed the gumption of his manager, who gambled with his starting line-up by making five changes following the narrow loss to Poland.
"We only got beaten by a goal, but to make those decisions, to have the nerve to do that in such magnitude of the game...if we had been beaten it was more or less done and dusted," Magennis added.

Today is a very special day. It is not a day about treats from friends. That is Halloween. It is not a day about gifts from me, Santa Claus. That is Christmas. It is a day about a different gift.
Yes, today is a very special day. Some of my friends call it Remembrance Day. Some call it Armistice Day. Some call it Veteran's Day.
Like I said, today is not about Halloween treats. Today is not about Christmas gifts. Today is about a better gift. It is not a gift you can eat. It is not a gift you can open. But it is better.
Today is about the gift of freedom. If we did not have freedom, there might not be Halloween treats or Christmas gifts. There might not be elves, flying reindeer, or even me, Santa Claus!
Like I said, today is not about witches. Today is not about Santa Claus. Today is about the men and women who gave us freedom. Today we remember what they did for us.
They fought in wars. They fought so we could have freedom. Many of them died. Many more of them were hurt. We must always remember what they did so we could have freedom.
"Lest We Forget"

EpiTect Plus Bisulfite Kits are intended for molecular biology applications. These products are not intended for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease.
Key features of the EpiTect Plus Bisulfite Kits include:
Effective conversion of DNA by treatment with sodium bisulfite must accomplish complete conversion of all unmethylated cytosines in the sample DNA while minimizing DNA degradation due to the harsh temperature and chemical conditions of the bisulfite conversion reaction. The protection of the treated DNA is a critical factor in the recovery rate of converted DNA and in the sensitivity of downstream applications. EpiTect Plus Bisulfite Kits facilitate effective bisulfite conversion of DNA while minimizing DNA degradation, with the added advantage of not requiring DNA isolation prior to the conversion reaction. This streamlines the workflow from sample lysis to final elution of converted DNA, providing rapid results and high-quality DNA ready to use in a variety of downstream applications.
The 3 EpiTect Plus Bisulfite Kits are interconnected, functioning as an integrated system of solutions for direct bisulfite conversion of DNA from a broad range of starting materials (see figure "Interconnected protocols"). However, each kit has unique features, addresses a specific sample type, and includes all buffers and reagents necessary to function independently. The components in each kit combine to deliver effective lysis of samples, minimal loss of DNA during lysis, complete bisulfite conversion, robust protection during conversion, and thorough cleanup of DNA.
The EpiTect Plus Bisulfite Kits do not replace the EpiTect Bisulfite Kits, but rather expand the types of samples that can be prepared for downstream applications requiring bisulfite converted DNA, and integrate the DNA preparation procedure. Both sets of kits include DNA Protect Technology and accomplish high conversion rates. EpiTect Bisulfite Kits offer a convenient 96-well format for high sample throughput. See table "QIAGEN solutions for DNA bisulfite conversion" for an overview of all 5 bisulfite conversion solutions in QIAGEN's Epigenetics portfolio to easily select the best kit for your application.
DNA Protect Buffer is uniquely formulated to prevent the fragmentation usually associated with bisulfite treatment of DNA at high temperatures and low pH values. It also provides effective DNA denaturation, resulting in the single-stranded DNA necessary for complete cytosine conversion. DNA Protect Buffer contains a pH indicator dye as a mixing control that allows confirmation of the correct pH for cytosine conversion (see figure "DNA Protect Buffer").
To extract DNA from FFPE samples, deparaffinization needs to be carried out. This is a process whereby paraffin is first dissolved and then removed, exposing samples for subsequent treatment with lysis buffer and proteinase K. Deparaffinization Solution is an innovative chemistry that facilitates deparaffinization with minimal handling. A great advantage of using Deparaffinization Solution is that it contributes to high DNA recovery rates. After addition to an FFPE sample, the solution remains on the sample while proteinase K digestion is carried out. There is no need to pellet the FFPE sample thereafter, or to remove paraffin-containing supernatant. Thus, the risk of sample loss during deparaffinization is avoided.
The EpiTect Plus DNA Bisulfite Kit includes carefully formulated buffers and reagents to provide streamlined and effective bisulfite conversion of genomic DNA and subsequent cleanup of the converted DNA (see figure "EpiTect Plus DNA flowchart"). With unique DNA Protect Technology and QIAGEN spin columns, this kit generates fully converted DNA with minimal degradation that can be eluted in as little as 10 µl of buffer for downstream applications requiring high DNA concentrations. This kit can be used for conversion of 1 ng – 2 µg DNA in a volume of 20 µl or 1–500 ng DNA in a volume of 40 µl.
The EpiTect Plus FFPE Bisulfite Kit consists of the EpiTect Plus FFPE Lysis Kit for the deparaffinization and lysis of FFPE tissue slices, and the EpiTect Plus DNA Bisulfite Kit for the effective bisulfite conversion of the DNA released from the samples (see figure "EpiTect Plus FFPE flowchart". The deparaffinization, lysis, and decrosslinking of FFPE slices is optimized with innovative Deparaffinization Solution and Lysis Buffer FTB, and a carefully designed reaction temperature protocol. The DNA released during lysis and decrosslinking is used directly for bisulfite conversion with the included EpiTect Plus DNA Bisulfite Kit. Input amount for this kit is single FFPE tissue slices of 10 µm in thickness.
The EpiTect Plus LyseAll Bisulfite Kit consists of the EpiTect Plus LyseAll Lysis Kit for lysis of whole blood cells, cells from culture, and fresh tissues, and the EpiTect Plus DNA Bisulftie Kit for the effective bisulfite conversion of the DNA released from these samples (see figure "EpiTect Plus LyseAll flowchart". Uniquely formulated lysis buffers streamline the release of DNA from samples, which can be used directly for bisulfite conversion without the need for prior isolation. This kit can be used with 0.5–20 µl blood or 10–105 cells (as little as 60 pg of DNA).
DNA converted and purified using EpiTect Plus Bisulfite Kits is suitable for use in a range of downstream applications including:

1 – Introducing Captain Spectacular and Dr. Rocket!on September 22nd, 2006
This site hosts, technically, two comics. The navigation was custom built to accommodate this and is a little different from what you may be used to, but still pretty easy to understand.
The simplest way to navigate is to just click on the strip itself. That will take you immediately to the next chronological update.
However, the BEST way to navigate is by hitting the "NEXT" button to go through the chapters. Once you hit the end of a chapter you'll see that the "NEXT" button is unavailable. Just hit "NEXT CHAPTER" at that point and you're on your way and you'll continue with the same comic and story you've been reading.
Why is it set up like this? Because a few years into making The SuperFogeys I started up SuperFogeys Origins using a wide stable of artists. Those stories were self-contained and ran concurrently with the actual strip and I wanted to keep everything localized, but separate. Now, you can read SF and SFO however you want.
As always, you can access everything at any given time via the Archive pull down.
Have fun and happy reading!
If you can't see this image, click here!
The first strip was really me just trying to figure out what the SuperFogeys are all about. It's both my first notes and my first strip, all rolled into one. There wasn't a lot of forethought that went into the SuperFogeys, either artistically or otherwise.

TORONTO - Protests are scheduled for cities across Canada today against the Harper government's contentious elections bill.
A few dozen people clutched signs and unrolled a banner during a demonstration in downtown Toronto.
Organizer Anna Goldfinch says that despite the Tories' pledge on Friday to strip the bill of some of its most contentious aspects, such as a residency ID requirement, the proposed legislation still goes too far and should be scrapped outright.
She says an Elections Canada pilot project to encourage turnout on post-secondary campuses will not go ahead if the bill is passed.
Protester Andrew Porter also pointed to the bill imposing restrictions on Elections Canada's outreach work as a continuing cause for concern.
Events were held in a number of communities in Canada including Vancouver where a handful of activists tried to persuade people to sign a petition.
Goldfinch, an executive member with the Canadian Federation of Students's Ontario branch, said that even with the changes the government has agreed to, the bill will still discourage election turnout.
"I still think there's so much in this bill that really does a lot to suppress voting, to not encourage people to get out and vote," she said.

We've been living in the house for one month and are now mostly unpacked (except for Larry's office) so I thought it was time to give everyone the 5 cent tour.
Still some work to do: Once the basement is cleared of construction tools and supplies, we're going to start setting up the root cellar, work tables, homebrew kit & dart board (a.k.a. man cave.) We're also still debating the best way to hang artwork on the walls. Larry's hesitant to put nail holes in the exterior walls he worked so hard to air seal. And we still have a lot of stuff in storage that we need to unpack, but for now we're just taking a few weeks to enjoy the place. We love it!

Anthony Robert "Rob" Taglianetti II, the 42-year-old Virginia man authorities believe shot and killed Clymer School Superintendent Keith L. Reed Jr. as the result of an apparent love triangle, was captured by the U.S. Marshals Service Friday near a national park and forest about 90 miles west of Washington, D.C.
Taglianetti was taken into custody without incident after federal and local law enforcement spotted his 2003 Buick Century and stopped him at about 4 p.m. on the seasonal Woodstock Tower Road in Fort Valley, Va. near Shenandoah Valley National Park and George Washington National Forest. It's an area where authorities believed he had been known to camp.
"We had information the subject was possibly camping here in Shenandoah County," Shenandoah County sheriff's Lt. Wesley Dellinger told the Northern Virginia Daily News. "He was cooperative."
A joint statement released late Friday by Chautauqua County Sheriff Joseph A. Gerace and District Attorney David W. Foley stated: "They were patrolling areas looking for the suspect. Officers stopped Taglianetti and he was taken into custody without incident."
Taglianetti was remanded to the custody of the Prince William County police late Friday, the Virginia newspaper reported. The U.S. Marshals Service in Virginia stated Taglianetti was to be turned over to authorities from New York.
Details about any charges levied against him were not immediately available.
Before his capture, Taglianetti had been last seen last Saturday after leaving his Woodbridge, Va., home with camping and survival gear just hours after returning from Clymer, where he allegedly hunted down Reed and shot the school superintendent multiple times outside of his Clymer Sherman Road home on the evening of Sept. 21.
The motive for the killing, sources told The Buffalo News, was Taglianetti's discovery just days earlier of an affair between Reed and Taglianetti's wife, Mary Jenks Taglianetti.
Taglianetti, a former U.S. Marine who was also a licensed hunter and fisherman, was apparently fueled by rage after finding multiple "electronic correspondences" – some of which were lurid in nature – between Reed and his wife, the source told The News.
After two days of confrontations at home with his wife about his discovery, Taglianetti took to the road.
Police said he drove to Clymer, arriving sometime last Friday. He confronted Reed at his home and allegedly shot him multiple times before driving back home to Virginia, where he arrived Saturday morning, according to sources.
Reed, who failed to show up for the 2012 Fall Conference of the State Council of School Superintendents in Saratoga Springs over the weekend, was reported missing after he was unable to be contacted by Clymer School Board members, who also went to his home. A Chautauqua County sheriff's K-9 unit found Reed's body Monday morning about 150 feet from his home, where he lived alone with his dog.
Police recovered Reed's cellphone in Pennsylvania after it was "pinged" and tracked by GPS.
A friend of Reed told The News on Monday that Reed, a divorced father of three daughters, was engaged and soon to be married.
Reed's fiancee, law enforcement determined, was a Horseheads woman, however, not Mrs. Taglianetti.
Law enforcement wasn't initially tipped off to Taglianetti until his wife called Wednesday to report her suspicion that her husband was involved in Reed's death about 350 miles away in Clymer.
That led authorities – which included local sheriffs, the State Police, FBI and other local and federal agencies – to issue bulletins for Taglianetti's arrest. He became the subject of a nationwide manhunt by the U.S. Marshals Service task force before his capture Friday afternoon.
Prior to his capture, authorities issued a public bulletin calling Taglianetti a dangerous man with the skills and supplies to survive in the outdoors, perhaps for an extended period of time.
A wanted poster described Taglianetti as "extremely dangerous: ex-Marine" and stated that his car was "loaded w/ camping & survival equipment."
"Our fear is that he's gone into hiding out into the woods," Foley, the district attorney, had said.
Although they didn't characterize Taglianetti as a hard-core survivalist, along the lines of longtime fugitive Eric Rudolph, investigators reported he was known to be an avid camper and outdoorsman.
"I don't think there's any possible way he could stay out there forever," Foley predicted. By night's end, the district attorney was proven right on both accounts.
Law enforcement from Western New York to Virginia were searching for Taglianetti on Friday, a day after Gerace and Foley publicly announced the Virginia man as the prime suspect in Reed's slaying that has left the small rural community of Clymer in shock. Chautauqua County deputies went to northern Virginia late Thursday to work with authorities there in the manhunt.
Reed was mourned Friday at a funeral service in United Congregational Methodist Church in Salamanca, as the last hours of the manhunt continued for Taglianetti.
Meanwhile, a fuller picture of the suspect's background was developing.
Taglianetti, who often goes by "Rob," is a married father of four children. Taglianetti lives in a subdivision in Woodbridge, a suburb of Washington, D.C., in northern Virginia.
Taglianetti grew up in Mystic, Conn., according to his profile on LinkedIn.com, the professional networking site.
He served in the Marine Corps from 1990 to 1994 in an aviation unit. He was a Marine embassy security guard in Cairo from 1992 to 1993. He later entered the Marine Reserve.
Taglianetti attended Pensacola Christian College in Florida, where he earned his bachelor's degree in history. His wife, Mary, who is from Saratoga County, also attended the same college. They married in 1999 while they were both still in school, according to a marriage announcement her family published in the Daily Gazette.
He went on to earn two master's degrees at the University at Albany, one in public history and the other in information science.
In 2011, Taglianetti was quoted in a story in the Richmond Times-Dispatch about a project in which he and colleagues digitized hundreds of recordings made with Marines by combat correspondents during World War II.
"There's so much that can be learned from these recordings," he told the reporter.
But Thursday, authorities in Western New York said Taglianetti was unemployed. It wasn't clear when he lost his job.
On Taglianetti's Facebook page, there is a strong hint of past marital woes. In 2010, he posted that he had married his wife a second time.
"Rob Taglianetti is thrilled that his wife has decided to come home to him. He missed her and the kids and can't wait to be together again forever!" he wrote.
The wife commented to his post: "xoxoxox."
Her Facebook site, rife with religious connections, included a "like" to an "I Love My Husband" website on June 18 of this year.
The details of how Reed and Mrs. Taglianetti first came to know each other remained sketchy Friday. However, authorities believe they likely met in the Albany-Saratoga Springs area. Reed previously worked in Sherburne, about 110 miles to the west. Mrs. Taglianetti has ties to Saratoga County where Reed was supposed to be for the conference he never made. It's unclear whether the two had set up a meeting there. Further details of the nature of their relationship also was not immediately known.
Other than a misdemeanor reckless driving charge in 2007 that was dismissed, Taglianetti had no criminal record.

GNOME (pronounced gah-nohm or nohm) is a desktop environment that aims to be simple and easy to use. It is designed by The GNOME Project and is composed entirely of free and open-source software. GNOME is a part of the GNU Project. The default display is Wayland instead of Xorg.
- 1 Installation
- 2 GNOME Sessions
- 3 Starting GNOME
- 4 Navigation
- 5 Configuration
- 5.1 System settings
- 5.2 Advanced settings
- 5.2.1 Appearance
- 5.2.2 Desktop
- 5.2.3 Extensions
- 5.2.4 Input methods
- 5.2.5 Fonts
- 5.2.6 Startup applications
- 5.2.7 Power
- 5.2.8 Sort applications into application (app) folders
- 6 See also
Two groups are available:
- gnome contains the base GNOME desktop and a subset of well-integrated applications;
- gnome-extra contains further GNOME applications, including an archive manager, disk manager, text editor, and a set of games. Note that this group builds on the gnome group.
The base desktop consists of GNOME Shell, a plugin for the Mutter window manager. It can be installed separately with gnome-shell.
Additional packages
These packages are not in the above mentioned groups:
- GNOME Initial Setup — A simple, easy, and safe way to prepare a new system.
- GNOME MultiWriter — Write an ISO file to multiple USB devices at once.
- GNOME PackageKit — Collection of graphical tools for PackageKit to be used in the GNOME desktop.
- Nemiver — A C/C++ debugger.
- Software — Lets you install and update applications and system extensions.
GNOME Sessions
GNOME has three available sessions, all using GNOME Shell.
- GNOME is the default which uses Wayland. Traditional X applications are run through Xwayland.
- GNOME Classic is a traditional desktop layout with a similar interface to GNOME 2, using pre-activated extensions and parameters. [1] Hence it is more a customized GNOME Shell than a truly distinct mode.
- GNOME on Xorg runs GNOME Shell using Xorg.
Starting GNOME
GNOME can be started either graphically, using a display manager, or manually from the console.
Select the session: GNOME, GNOME Classic, or GNOME on Xorg from the display manager's session menu.
Xorg sessions
- For the GNOME on Xorg session, add to the
exec gnome-session.
- For the GNOME Classic session, add to the
export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME-Classic:GNOME export GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=classic exec gnome-session --session=gnome-classic
After editing the
~/.xinitrc file, GNOME can be launched with the
startx command (see xinitrc for additional details, such as preserving the logind session). After setting up the
~/.xinitrc file it can also be arranged to Start X at login.
Wayland sessions
Manually starting a Wayland session is possible with
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland dbus-run-session gnome-session. To make Qt applications use Wayland, install the qt5-wayland package and set the environment variable
To start on login to tty1, add the following to your
if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland exec dbus-run-session gnome-session fi
GNOME applications in Wayland
When the GNOME session is used, GNOME applications will be run using Wayland. See the current status of Wayland for GNOME applications at GNOME Applications under Wayland. For debugging cases, the GTK+ manual lists options and environment variables.
To learn how to use the GNOME shell effectively read the GNOME Shell Cheat Sheet; it highlights GNOME shell features and keyboard shortcuts. Features include task switching, keyboard use, window control, the panel, overview mode, and more. A few of the shortcuts are:
m: show message tray
a: show applications menu
Tab: cycle active applications
`(the key above
Tabon US keyboard layouts): cycle windows of the application in the foreground
F2, then enter
restart: restart the shell in case of graphical shell problems (only in X/legacy mode, not in Wayland mode).

The GNOME desktop relies on a configuration database backend (DConf) to store system and application settings. The desktop comes with default configuration settings, installed applications add their own to the database. The basic configuration is done either via the GNOME System Settings panel (gnome-control-center) or the preferences of the individual applications. A direct configuration of the DConf database is always possible as well and performed with the gsettings command line tool. In particular it can be used to configure settings which are not exposed via the user interface.
GNOME settings are then applied by the GNOME Settings Daemon. Note that the daemon can be run outside of a GNOME session in order to apply GNOME configuration in a non-GNOME environment. To do so, execute:
$ nohup /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon > /dev/null &
The configuration is usually performed per user and the rest of this section does not cover how to create configuration templates for a multi-user-system.
System settings
Control panel settings of note.
The daemon
colord reads the display's EDID and extracts the appropriate color profile. Most color profiles are accurate and no setup is required; however for those that are not accurate, or for older displays, color profiles can be put in
~/.local/share/icc/ and directed to.
Date & time
If the system has a configured Network Time Protocol daemon, it will be effective for GNOME as well. The synchronization can be set to manual control from the menu, if required.
To show the date in the top bar, execute:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface clock-show-date true
Additionally, to show week numbers in the calendar opened on the top bar, execute:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.calendar show-weekdate true
Default applications
Upon installing GNOME for the first time, you may find that the wrong applications are handling certain protocols. For example, totem opens videos instead of a previously used VLC. Some of the associations can be set from system settings via: System > Details > Default applications.
For other protocols and methods see Default applications for configuration.
Mouse and touchpad
To help reduce touchpad interference you may wish to implement the settings below via gnome-control-center:
- Disable touchpad while typing
- Disable scrolling
- Disable tap-to-click
Depending on your device, other configuration settings may be available, but not exposed via the default GUI. For example, a different touchpad
$ gsettings range org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method
enum 'default' 'none' 'areas' 'fingers'
to be set manually:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method 'fingers'
or via gnome-tweak-tool.
NetworkManager is the native tool of the GNOME project to control network settings from the shell. It is installed by default as a dependency for tracker package, which is a part of gnome group, and just needs to be enabled.
While any other network manager can be used as well, NetworkManager provides the full integration via the shell network settings and a status indicator applet network-manager-applet (not required for GNOME).
Online accounts
Backends for the GNOME messaging application empathy as well as the GNOME Online Accounts section of the System Settings panel are provided in a separate group: telepathy. See Unable to add accounts in Empathy and GNOME Online Accounts. Some online accounts, such as ownCloud, require gvfs-goa to be installed for full functionality in GNOME applications such as GNOME Files and GNOME Documents [2].
The GNOME shell has a search that can be quickly accessed by pressing the
Super key and starting to type. The tracker package is installed by default as a part of gnome group and provides an indexing application and metadata database. It can be configured with the Search and Indexing menu item; monitor status with tracker-control. It is started automatically by gnome-session when the user logs in. Indexing can be started manually with
tracker-control -s. Search settings can also be configured in the System Settings panel.
The Tracker database can be queried using the tracker-sparql command. View its manual page
man tracker-sparql for more information.
Advanced settings
As noted above, many configuration options such as changing the GTK+ theme or the window manager theme are not exposed in the GNOME System Settings panel (gnome-control-center). Those users that want to configure these settings may wish to use the GNOME Tweak Tool (gnome-tweak-tool), a convenient graphical tool which exposes many of these settings.
GNOME settings (which are stored in the DConf database) can also be configured using the dconf-editor (a graphical DConf configuration tool) or the gsettings command line tool. The GNOME Tweak Tool does not do anything else in the background of the GUI; note though that you will not find all settings described in the following sections in it.
GTK+ themes and icon themes
To install a new theme or icon set, add the relevant
~/.local/share/themes or
~/.local/share/icons respectively (add to
/usr/share/ instead of
~/.local/share/ for the themes to be available systemwide.) They and other GUI settings can also be defined in
[Settings] gtk-theme-name = Adwaita # next option is applicable only if selected theme supports it gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true # set font name and dimension gtk-font-name = Sans 10
Additional theme locations:
- DeviantArt.
- gnome-look.org.
- GTK+ 3 themes in the AUR.
- Cursor themes in the AUR.
- Icon themes in the AUR.
Once installed, they can be selected using the GNOME Tweak Tool or GSettings - see below for GSettings commands:
For the GTK+ theme:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme theme-name
For the icon theme
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme theme-name
Global dark theme
GNOME will use the Adwaita light theme by default however a dark variant of this theme (called the Global Dark Theme) also exists and can be selected using the Tweak Tool or by editing the GTK+ 3 settings file - see GTK+#Dark theme variant. Some applications such as Image Viewer (eog) use the dark theme by default. It should be noted that the Global Dark Theme only works with GTK+ 3 applications; some GTK+ 3 applications may only have partial support for the Global Dark theme. Qt and GTK+ 2 support for the Global Dark Theme may be added in the future.
Window manager themes
The window manager theme (the style of the window titlebars) can be set using the GNOME Tweak Tool or the following GSettings command:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme theme-name
Titlebar height
headerbar.default-decoration { padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; min-height: 0px; font-size: 0.6em; } headerbar.default-decoration button.titlebutton { padding: 0px; min-height: 0px; }
See [3] for more information.
To set the order for the GNOME window manager (Mutter, Metacity):
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout ':minimize,maximize,close'
Hide titlebar when maximized
- Install gnome-shell-extension-pixel-saver-gitAUR or gnome-shell-extension-pixel-saverAUR. Maximized windows get the title bar merged into the activity bar, saving precious pixels.
- Install mutter-hide-legacy-decorationsAUR. It changes a default setting in the window manager, so as to automatically hide the titlebar on legacy (non-headerbar) apps when they are maximized or tiled to the side.
- Install maximusAUR. To start the application, execute maximus from a terminal. When running, the daemon will automatically maximize windows. It will undecorate maximized windows and redecorate them when they are unmaximized. If you do not want all windows to start maximized, run
maximus -minstead. Note that this will only work with windows decorated by the window manager; applications that use client-side decoration such as GNOME Files will not be undecorated when maximized.
GNOME Shell themes
The theme of GNOME Shell itself is configurable. To use a Shell theme, firstly ensure that you have the gnome-shell-extensions package installed. Then enable the User Themes extension, either through GNOME Tweak Tool or through the GNOME Shell Extensions webpage. Shell themes can then be loaded and selected using the GNOME Tweak Tool.
There are a number of GNOME Shell themes available in the AUR.
Shell themes can also be downloaded from gnome-look.org.
The default GNOME schema doesn't display any icon on menus. To display icons on menus, issue the following command.
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "{'Gtk/ButtonImages': <1>, 'Gtk/MenuImages': <1>}"
Various Desktop settings can be applied.
Icons on the Desktop
See GNOME/Files#Desktop Icons.
Lock screen and background
When setting the Desktop or Lock screen background, it is important to note that the Pictures tab will only display pictures located in
/home/username/Pictures folder. If you wish to use a picture not located in this folder, use the commands indicated below.
For the desktop background:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri 'file:///path/to/my/picture.jpg'
For the lock screen background
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver picture-uri 'file:///path/to/my/picture.jpg'
GNOME Shell can be customized with extensions per user or system-wide.
The catalogue of extensions is available at extensions.gnome.org. By a user they can be installed and activated in the browser by setting the switch in the top left of the screen to ON and clicking Install on the resulting dialog (if the extension in question is not installed). After installation it is shown in the extensions.gnome.org/local/ tab, which has to be visited as well to check for available updates. Installed extensions can also be enabled or disabled using gnome-tweak-tool.
More information about GNOME shell extensions is available on the GNOME Shell Extensions about page.
Installing extensions via a package makes them available for all users of the system and automates the update process.
The gnome-shell-extensions package provides a set of extensions maintained as part of the GNOME project (many of the included extensions are used by the GNOME Classic session).
Users who want a taskbar but do not wish to use the GNOME Classic session may want to enable the Window list extension (provided by the gnome-shell-extensions package).
Input methods
GNOME has integrated support for input methods through IBus, only ibus and the wanted input method engine (e.g. ibus-libpinyin for Intelligent Pinyin) needed to be installed, after installation the input method engine can be added as a keyboard layout in GNOME's Regional & Language Settings.
Fonts can be set for Window titles, Interface (applications), Documents and Monospace. See the Fonts tab in the Tweak Tool for the relevant options.
For hinting, RGBA will likely be desired as this fits most monitors types, and if fonts appear too blocked reduce hinting to Slight or None.
Startup applications
To start certain applications on login, copy the relevant
.desktop file from
/usr/share/applications/ to
The gnome-tweak-tool allows managing autostart-entries.
gnome-tweak-tool. See the following forum thread.
The basic power settings that may want to be altered (these example settings assume the user is using a laptop - change them as desired):
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-power hibernate $ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 3600 $ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type hibernate $ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 1800 $ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-type hibernate $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen true
To keep a monitor active on lid close:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xrandr default-monitors-setup do-nothing
Configure behaviour on lid switch close
The GNOME Tweak Tool can optionally inhibit the systemd setting for the lid close ACPI event.[4] To inhibit the setting, start the Tweak Tool and, under the power tab, check the Don't suspend on lid close option. This means that the system will do nothing on lid close instead of suspending - the default behaviour. Checking the setting creates
~/.config/autostart/ignore-lid-switch-tweak.desktop which will autostart the Tweak Tool's inhibitor.
If you do not want the system to suspend or do nothing on lid close, you will need to ensure that the setting described above is not checked and then configure systemd with
HandleLidSwitch=preferred_behaviour as described in Power management#ACPI events.
Change critical battery level action
The settings panel does not provide an option for changing the critical battery level action. These settings have been removed from dconf as well. They are now managed by upower. Edit the upower settings in
/etc/UPower/UPower.conf. Find these settings and adjust to your needs.
PercentageLow=10 PercentageCritical=3 PercentageAction=2 CriticalPowerAction=HybridSleep
Sort applications into application (app) folders
~/.local/share/applications-categories named after each category and containing a list of the desktop files belonging to apps you would like to have inside. Optionally, you can have it cycle through each app without a folder and input the desired category until you ctrl-c or run out of apps.
In the dconf-editor navigate to
org.gnome.desktop.app-folders and set the value of
folder-children to an array of comma separated folder names:
['Utilities', 'Sundry']
Add applications using
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/Sundry/ apps "['alacarte.desktop', 'dconf-editor.desktop']"
This adds the applications
alacarte.desktop and
dconf-editor.desktop to the Sundry folder. This will also create the folder
To name the folder (if it has no name that appears at the top of the applications):
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/Sundry/ name "Sundry"
Applications can also be sorted by their category (specified in their .desktop file):
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/Sundry/ categories "['Office']"
If certain applications matching a category are not wanted in a certain folder, exclusions can be set:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/Sundry/ excluded-apps "['libreoffice-draw.desktop']"
For further information, refer to the app-folders schema.

Top500 founders talk big
K Computer Tops Competition by 3x
As many of you know by now, there's a new computer at the tippy top of the just-published Top500 list. I found out a bit earlier than most, via a webcast I was recording at 3:00 a.m. my local time on Sunday.
It was a bit of a struggle to record it; their net connection kept breaking, and the sound quality on my side was like a Dixie cup and string, but I heard enough to know it was big news.
Here's the quick overview: The Japanese have taken over the top spot on the Top500 list with a SPARC-fueled 'K Computer.' It's 8.16 Pflops – 3x faster than the former number one system (Tianhe-1A).
In fact, the K Computer is larger than the next five systems on the list combined. It sports 8-core SPARC processors – 68,544 of them, to be exact – for a total of 548,353 cores. Timothy Prickett Morgan has written an exhaustive (and excellent) account of the system here.
It's also highly interesting that this is an old-school supercomputer. It has a sophisticated, proprietary 6D torus interconnect and doesn't use GPUs or other accelerators to juice performance.
The lack of hardware accelerators is unusual these days and noteworthy. This is a very efficient system as well, delivering 93 per cent of its theoretical peak performance – a number that puts it at the head of the class. The K pulls a fair amount of power: 9.89 megawatts. (Damn!)
That's a bit more than double the 4.04 megawatts that Tianhe draws, but K yields 3x more performance… so it's kind of a bargain, right? This system was a surprise in a lot of ways. No one expected it this soon, or expected it to triple the performance record.
On the webcast, I have a conversation with Rich Brueckner (from InsideHPC.com) along with Top500 co-founders Dr. Hans Meuer and Dr. Jack Dongarra.
We talk about the evolution of the list, the trends driving it, and, of course, the K Computer. Click here for the webcast.

Which Chemicals Should You Avoid to Prevent Behavioral and Learning Problems?
Which Chemicals Should You Avoid to Prevent Behavioral and Learning Problems?As you may be aware from some of our other blogs or research you've done, several studies have shown links to exposure to toxic chemicals and the symptoms known as ADD, ADHD, autism and hyperactivity in kids. Unfortunately, the chemicals in question are not esoteric – they aren't the kind of chemicals you're only exposed to if you work in certain industrial environments, for example. They are chemicals our kids come into contact with every day – in fact, they eat them, play with them, sleep in them, are dressed in them and, in many cases, are actually born with them in their body.
ADHD and the other symptoms I've mentioned are perhaps not the only side effects of toxic chemicals, but they do present a special set of difficulties. These include low self-esteem, nervousness, being disruptive or aggressive with others, and even reading and comprehension problems. These difficulties can really disrupt the lives of those involved and make it very difficult for kids to have a happy childhood.
Also, if your kids do have these symptoms, they may be exposed to even more toxic chemicals – drugs – which may bring on a whole new set of symptoms.
What can you do in addition to avoiding toxic chemicals in crib mattresses, kids toys, clothes, and the home environment?
Eat organically grown foods, including meat from animals grown without antibiotics or hormones, reduce sugar intake and make sure your kids are getting a balanced diet with eggs for breakfast instead of frosted cereals, and really watch out for food additives as covered in the Feingold Diet.
The Feingold Diet consists of a list of artificial colorings, flavorings, preservatives and other food and packaging additives that have specifically been determined to cause the symptoms you want to avoid. Some of these chemicals are even disguised, on the labels, as things that sound good for us. The term 'anti-oxidants', for example, which also includes healthy substances like Vitamins C and E and Essential Fatty Acids, can sometimes be used to describe chemicals that prevent the fats in food from 'oxidizing' – meaning 'becoming rancid'. This is a far cry from the role nutritional anti-oxidants play.
In addition to ingesting, absorbing and inhaling untold amounts of chemicals over the last few decades – things we rarely had to contend with in earlier times – food additives have become part and parcel of our everyday diets. Here's a sampling of Feingold's take on the differences between what our kids ate in the 1940's, compared to the present:
In the 1940s kids brushed their teeth with white toothpaste, ate oatmeal, corn flakes or toast and butter with jam for breakfast. Now they brush with multi-colored toothpastes (attained with the use of food colorings), instant oatmeal with additives that can even make the oatmeal turn blue when milk is added, colored cereals and pop tarts. All made with artificial flavoring and coloring. Even cocoa with whipped cream isn't safe – today it's topped with Cool Whip.
Is it any wonder that so many kids are having trouble?
If you want your kids to sleep easy and grow up happy and healthy, start with avoiding chemicals and eating well yourself (the chemicals can pass from parent to unborn child), green your nursery with non-toxic materials and a crib mattress that's certified as not emitting harmful chemical gases, and eliminate food additives as recommended by Feingold Diet. All the info you need is on the Feingold site, including the research.

Collapsible chair, Essex, England, 1937-1939
The 'Marchant Collapsible Chair for Invalids and Children' was a unique wheelchair designed and constructed by Thomas Marchant of Tiptree, Essex. This is a prototype of that chair. Mr Marchant created the collapsible chair for his disabled wife between 1937 and 1939. It was small enough to fit into a car and easily assembled. Marchant claimed it was 'very useful for flats, small houses, hospitals and ambulances.' Together Mr and Mrs Marchant used the chair on caravanning holidays and family trips. It was awarded the Founders Silver Medal at the Inventors' Exhibition held in London in 1939.

CARACAS, Venezuela - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is in a "stable situation" in a Cuban hospital receiving treatment due to a severe respiratory infection, his government said Monday.
Information Minister Ernesto Villegas provided the update, saying the government is in "permanent contact" with Chavez's medical team and relatives who are with him in Havana where he underwent surgery for cancer. His report came as other government officials reiterated their stance that the president need not be sworn in for a new term as scheduled this Thursday and could instead have his inauguration at a later date.
"The president is in a stable situation in relation with that described in the most recent report," Villegas said, reading a statement on television. "His treatment is being applied constantly and rigorously, and the patient is assimilating it."
Villegas didn't give details about the treatment, which the government says is for a "respiratory deficiency." Independent medical experts say that description suggests Chavez may be breathing with the aid of a ventilator, but also say that is not necessarily the case based on the vague account given.
Leaders of the Roman Catholic Church on Monday criticized the government for failing to provide more details about Chavez's condition nearly a month after his operation.
"The government hasn't told the nation all of the truth," said Bishop Diego Padron, president of the Venezuelan Bishops Conference.
Catholic leaders also said that conflicting stances by the government and opposition ahead of Chavez's scheduled swearing-in make for a potentially dangerous and violent situation.
"The nation's political and social stability is at serious risk," Padron said, reading a statement from the bishops' conference.
Chavez describes himself as Christian but has clashed repeatedly with some Catholic leaders, who have accused the president in recent years of becoming increasingly authoritarian.
The leftist president hasn't spoken publicly since before the Dec. 11 surgery.
Government officials have called Chavez's condition delicate but haven't given details of his complications.
The Venezuelan Constitution says the presidential oath should be taken before lawmakers in the National Assembly on Jan. 10, this Thursday. It says the president may also take the oath before the Supreme Court if he's unable to be sworn in before the assembly.
Some opposition leaders have argued that Chavez's allies would violate the constitution if they try to put off the inauguration.
Vice-President Nicolas Maduro has called the swearing-in a "formality" and said the opposition is erroneously interpreting the constitution.
Catholic leaders agreed with the opposition's arguments on Monday, saying the constitution is clear that one presidential term ends and another begins on Jan. 10.
"Altering the constitution to achieve a political goal is morally unacceptable," the Catholic leaders said, adding that they would oppose any attempts to manipulate the constitution to the "detriment of democracy."
The opposition announced over the weekend that it intends to raise its objections in international forums if Chavez's allies violate the constitution. But it remains unclear what the opposition intends to do if Chavez doesn't show up on inauguration day.
National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello warned the opposition not to try to stir up trouble. Speaking to reporters alongside Maduro on Monday, he called for the government's supporters to demonstrate in the streets of Caracas on Thursday.
Cabello also said at a news conference that some foreign leaders would soon visit Venezuela to express solidarity with Chavez. He didn't give details or identify the presidents.
But Cabello also avoided saying whether the inauguration was definitely being put off. Asked if the government now rules out Chavez being able to make it back on time for the inauguration, Cabello said: "We don't rule out absolutely anything at all."
Maduro reiterated the government's view that Chavez may be sworn in before the Supreme Court at a later date. Referring to the Catholic Church's leaders, Maduro said he hopes they "maintain a conduct of respect."
constitutional expert Roman Duque Corredor, a former Supreme Court magistrate, said the constitution is clear that Chavez's inauguration cannot legally be postponed.
Duque told The Associated Press he believes the Supreme Court should now form a board of doctors to determine the president's condition.
Marco Aurelio Garcia, the top international affairs adviser to Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, visited Havana last week to obtain information about Chavez's health but said he was told that Chavez wasn't receiving visitors. Garcia told reporters on Monday in Brasilia he was told that Chavez is in a "grave state," according to Brazil's state news agency.
Garcia said he doesn't see political instability as likely in Venezuela, and that if Chavez is unable to return to Venezuela a temporary absence would be permitted for a total of up to 180 days under the constitution before it would be considered an absolute absence and require the calling of a new election.
Government officials also have urged people not to heed rumours about Chavez's health. Without giving details, Villegas said on Monday that people should ignore "messages of psychological warfare that from abroad that aim to disturb the Venezuelan family."
Some opposition politicians have also said it's time for a medical team to travel to Havana to determine whether Chavez is fit to remain in office or not.
"The step that's going to be taken on Jan. 10 is a very serious political step, because I think that from that date on Vice-President Maduro becomes a spurious vice-president, a vice-president with little legitimacy," historian Margarita Lopez Maya said Monday during a forum organized by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington. She added that "if some type of message or address by President Chavez doesn't appear legitimizing this process, I think this will have a political cost" for Chavez's allies.
"As long as (Chavez) doesn't appear, it feels more and more like a government that's moving according to the particular interests of a clique that's surrounds the president's bed," Lopez Maya said.
She said it's difficult to grasp why Chavez's allies would want to delay new elections instead of taking advantage of public sympathy surrounding Chavez's condition now. But she said it might be that Chavez's confidants think it fitting for him to die as president and not have to leave office.
Cynthia Arnson, director of the Latin America program at the Wilson Center, said there also could be more practical political calculus at play.
"Chavez's absence is going to create a very strong emotional sensation for people, and perhaps they're postponing the elections to take advantage of that moment that's going to accompany Chavez's death," Arnson said.
Associated Press writer Luis Alonso Lugo in Washington contributed to this report.

Did Dick's force Sports Authority's hand in Broncos naming rights deal?
Five years ago, Dick's Sporting Goods won the right to place its name on Stan Kroenke's new soccer stadium in Commerce City.
The retailer beat out rival Sports Authority, who at the time had a far bigger presence and greater name recognition in the Colorado market, stemming from its merger with Colorado-based Gart Sports in 2003.
Since landing the naming rights to the home of the Colorado Rapids, Dick's has nearly doubled the number of its Colorado stores to 13. More importantly, its brand is much more visible among sporting goods retailers in what is considered the most active state in the nation.

text: TV / Video Sunday Night Ghost Town: Soft Launch for ABC's Red Widow No quick fix for troubled 10 p.m. time slotBy Anthony Crupi|March 4, 2013 Share By Anthony Crupi|March 4, 2013 Share Like a strip mall that houses an endless succession of failed take-out restaurants, some time slots are seemingly doomed to failure. And unfortunately for ABC, its Sunday 10 p.m. hour appears to be one of the more haunted slots on the dial. According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day ratings, ABC's special two-hour premiere of its midseason crime drama Red Widow failed to scare up much of a crowd last night, delivering 7.13 million viewers and a 1.5 in the adults 18-49 demo. The series opener finished last in the 9-11 p.m. period behind the final hour of Fox's "Animation Domination" block (1.8), NBC's two-hour series debut of Celebrity Apprentice (1.7) and CBS' The Good Wife (1.6). In the 10-11 p.m. slot, The Mentalist on CBS tied Red Widow with a 1.5 rating. Last season, ABC used the time slot as a showcase for its short-lived dramedy GCB. The show debuted on March 4, 2012, to 7.56 million viewers and a 2.2 in the dollar demo, marking a 30 percent decline from the 11.1 million viewers/3.1 rating achieved by the previous time slot occupant, Pan Am. By comparison with last spring's premiere, Red Widow was off 32 percent in the demo. But such is the narrative arc of this broadcast season; whereas 2011-12 was marked by shows that faded fast after strong debuts, this year's launches have been weak across the board. Red Widow's opening deliveries are disconcertingly similar to those of ABC's Zero Hour, which was canceled after three episodes. The Anthony Edwards mystery bowed Feb. 14 to 6.38 million viewers and a 1.4 rating before falling to a 1.0 in the demo last Thursday. Red Widow shifts to its regular 10 p.m. time slot on March 10. If nothing else, the move takes it out of reach of the ravenous AMC series, The Walking Dead, which owns 9 p.m.—and every other hour you can think of—outright. Sunday night's installment of the zombie apocalypse hit beat all comers, delivering 11.3 million viewers and a 5.7 in the demo. Boasting a 2.0 in the dollar demo, Talking Dead—the official postgame show of The Walking Dead—beat everything on broadcast in the 10 p.m. slot. History also helped take a bite out of the broadcast audience, as the premiere of The Bible delivered 13.1 million viewers and a 3.3 rating, while Vikings averaged 6.21 million viewers and a 2.0. The Sunday night capper has been a challenge for ABC since Brothers & Sisters ended its five-season run in 2011. The network also faces a dead spot in the Thursday 8 p.m. time slot, which has been haunted by its own string of high-profile failures (Zero Hour, Last Resort, Charlie's Angels, My Generation, Flash Forward). Perhaps no time slot is more fraught with perils than NBC's once-legendary Thursday 10 p.m. hour. But for a few interruptions, the Peacock from 1981-2009 aired just three dramas in the slot: Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law and ER. (At its peak in the pre-DVR/lousy cable halcyon days of 1995-96, ER averaged a now unimaginable 16.8 in the dollar demo, more than double the 8.2 rating served up this season by prime time's top-rated series, Sunday Night Football.) Since ER flatlined in 2009, occupants of its old time slot include the likes of The Marriage Ref, Prime Suspect, The Firm, Awake and Do No Harm. One network that appears to have exorcised one of its more vexing time slot demons is Fox, which boasts one of the few hit freshman series in The Following. Through six episodes, the bloody-minded drama is averaging 9.05 million viewers and a 2.9 in the demo, deliveries that have helped erase all memories of previous inhabitants of the Monday 9 p.m. slot (The Mob Doctor, Alcatraz, Terra Nova, Lone Star, The Chicago Code). Twenty-two weeks into the season, CBS is in first place among adults 18-49, averaging a 3.1 rating (down 3 percent versus 2011-12). NBC is second, with a 2.6, down 4 percent, while Fox remains in third with a 2.5, down 24 percent from the year-ago period. Through Feb. 24, ABC is in the cellar with an average prime-time rating of 2.3, down 8 percent from last season. Share http://adweek.it/2jH3VCT copy Adweek Adweek
