Frequently Requested Enhancements
- Why not use LILO instead of GRUB?
Since LFS-5.0, released 5 November 2003, LFS uses Grub instead of Lilo. Grub was chosen because it doesn't require reinstallation after a kernel upgrade and has a very nice rescue console.
If your current setup uses LILO or you'd like to use it anyway, you can, but beware you will also need to install BIN86 and, for the latest LILO versions, NASM. However, don't preach about it on the LFS mailinglists, since we've had many flamewars about it in the past.
- Why not include the FAQ in the book?
Marc Heerdink may have said it best in a post to lfs-dev:
The problem is that the FAQ is a dynamic document. The FAQ for a book release is released only after the book version itself, because the FAQ is updated to reflect the Qs asked about the current version of the book. A link is better, since you'll always have the most up-to-date answers handy.
- Why is vim in the book?
This is fairly well discussed in the thread starting at http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2002-February/023030.html.
- Why is HJL's Binutils not in the book?
The binutils release that you typically find on ftp.gnu.org is commonly known as the "FSF" binutils. Noted hacker H.J. Lu also makes releases out of the main CVS repository and these are commonly known as the "HJL" binutils and can usually be found on ftp.kernel.org. Debate often arises over which version to use due to the fact that most mainstream distros tend to use the HJL releases even though they are typically marked as "beta".
Here is our interpretation of the differences between the two:
- For Linux OS only
- Marked as "beta"
- Closely follows the CVS HEAD
- Usually contains the latest subtle bug fixes
- Usually has latest bug fixes for non-x86 arch's
- Usually a new release every time a significant bug that affects Linux gets fixed
- Theoretically less stable due to newness of code
- Supports more OS's (not only Linux)
- Latest code from the stable branch of CVS
- Sometimes not up-to-date WRT to the latest bleeding edge kernel, gcc and glibc subtleties
- Often includes features backported from the CVS HEAD after a period of testing
- Theoretically more stable
You'll notice in the above points words like "usually" and "sometimes". This demonstrates how the situation can be different depending on which particular point in time you happen to be referring to. For example, from time to time there will be a new bleeding edge feature in gcc or glibc that requires support from binutils. During these times you will often hear the developers say "you must be using the latest HJL binutils version x.y.z.a.b".
The only way to correctly choose the most appropriate release to use is to:-
- Stay abreast of the issues on the project mailing lists of the core toolchain packages
- Have a large dose of technical prowess and/or programming talent to understand all the issues
- Test like crazy by running the test suites
- Test like crazy by building full systems
The facts of the matter are that the core toolchain packages are all very tightly bound and must be tested to ensure they work together. You basically have to build a full working distro and test every aspect of it to be fully satisfied.
If you follow the project mailing lists of the core toolchain packages for long enough, you'll soon realise that the developers do not care much whether a particular release of "Package A" works with a particular release of "Package B". In other words, release coordination between the projects is not a priority. In reality, this means that Alan Cox is right when he says that you cannot just go to ftp.gnu.org and grab the latest of everything and always expect it to just work.
- Why isn't some package manager in the book?
Package management - beyond that provided by tarballs and makefiles - is beyond the scope of the book. If nothing else does, the number of different "solutions" should hint at some of the reasons.
Here are a few of the options:
- No package management is really necessary. Unless it is desirable to monitor package file placement minutely, any package large enough to warrent removal for disk space reasons can be installed in /opt as detailed by the FHS (perhaps in /opt/foo-x.x with a link from /opt/foo), and new releases can usually be installed over the old, although major upgrades and libraries are generally best done by rebuilding the system from the bottom up.
- RPM, the Redhat Package Manager, is used by a number of distributions. It is available from http://www.rpm.org/, and there is an RPM Hint to help with installation.
- There are several implementations of symlink style package management:
- Graft is available from http://peters.gormand.com.au/Home/tools.
- GNU Stow is available from http://www.gnu.org/software/stow/.
- And several more are listed in the Graft documentation at http://peters.gormand.com.au/Home/tools/graft/graft-html#research.
- The NetBSD package manager, pkgsrc, is available on other systems including Linux. It is at ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/stable/.
- Originally based on a script written by LFS' own Gerard Beekmans, install-log records a list of files installed by a package as the package is installed. It is available from http://install-log.sourceforge.net/.
- Gerard has since made additions to his script. It is available from http://linuxfromscratch.org/~gerard/log-install.
- CheckInstall attempts log system calls made by "make install". It is available from http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/.
- pkgutils, used by the CRUX distribution, is available from https://crux.nu/Wiki/FaqPkgUtils.
- There are some hints available for package managers.
If you have an addition to the list, please do email its id, URL, and other information, to the FAQ maintainer or an appropriate LFS mailing list so it can be added here.
- How do I make my machine poweroff when shut down?
Power Management is a kernel function, you need to enable it in the kernel. In the 2.4 kernel, you have to enable the options for
Power Management Supportunder
General Setup. For older machines, you'll probably want the APM options, newer machines often require ACPI. Make sure that either APM or ACPI be enabled in the kernel, but definitely not both at the same time - this has been known to cause problems such as neither actually taking effect. Also try disabling SMP if you only have one processor; it's also known to prevent a proper poweroff. Make sure you read the help with each option.
After rebooting into the new kernel you should be able to poweroff your machine with the command
shutdown -h nowor
poweroff(also read
man shutdownand
man halt). If you compiled APM or ACPI as modules, make sure they are loaded before you try to power off. Some machines require that APM or ACPI is compiled into the kernel because it needs to be initialised at boottime.
When reading and building LFS
- What distribution should I use to start from?
Most relatively recent distributions should be fine. Make sure you have installed and/or updated the development packages. (Look for ones starting in "gcc", "glibc", or "libstdc++" or ending in "-dev" or "-devel".). If you want to use LFS as your main system and you wish to install it without first installing a distribution, It is also possible to use a live image on dvd or usb stick. All major distributions provide one.
- How do I compile a kernel or set up modules?
In addition to the kernel documentation at /usr/src/linux/Documentation or wherever you unpacked your kernel source and the help in kernel config tool (make menuconfig), see the Module-HOWTO at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Module-HOWTO/.
- Are compiler warnings from GCC bad?
Short answer: no.
Long answer: probably, but only to someone working on the package you're trying to compile. Mostly, everything will be fine unless make quits with an error.
Here's an example:
sk ~/tmp $ cat > Makefile
gcc main.c
sk ~/tmp $ cat > main.c
void main() { exit(0); }
sk ~/tmp $ make
gcc main.c
main.c: In function `main':
main.c:1: warning: return type of `main' is not `int'
sk ~/tmp $ ######## that worked ########
sk ~/tmp $
sk ~/tmp $ cat > main.c
int main() { exxit(0) }
sk ~/tmp $ make
gcc main.c
main.c: In function `main':
main.c:1: parse error before `}'
make: *** [main] Error 1
sk ~/tmp $ ######## that failed ########
sk ~/tmp $
- How do I make that really small install the book mentions?
Gerard describes the process of making a 5MB LFS install in an email to lfs-support, and there are links to many resources in a post by Cor Lem and a reply to it.
- Is there information about building LFS on other processors?
For information about building LFS for a wide array of systems, take a look at the Cross-LFS branch of LFS.
- How do I cross compile LFS?
It's often useful to compile LFS for one machine on another machine. Say using that fast 1Ghz Athlon to build an install for an old 486. While this is technically not cross compiling, binaries compiled for the Athlon cannot be run on the 486 because binaries compiled for the newer processor use features the older processor doesn't have.
The LFS book specifically for cross compiling is the Cross-LFS book. Another source of information would be the cross-compiling hint.
- What's a DOS format text file?
It has to do with the characters used to end lines.
There are two that may be used:
- Line Feed: (LF) Octal:012 Decimal:10 Hex:0A C Style Escape:'\n' Moves down one line.
- Carriage Return: (CR) Octal:015 Decimal:13 Hex:0D C Style Excape:'\r' Move to the left margin.
Unix, DOS, and MacOS each use a different combination to end lines in text files:
- Unix: LF only. This is why when a Unix format text file is sent to a printer raw, it prints out
- DOS: CRLF both. Which is why if you do "cat -v" on a DOS file you'll see a "^M" (control m is carriage return) at the end of each line. And that is why scripts don't work when written with Microsoft Notepad. The kernel looks for "/bin/sh^M" which doesn't exist. There's a "/bin/sh", but nothing with a "^M" appended.
- MacOs: CR only. Printers probably print every line atop the first, and Unix tools think the whole file is one line with "^M" all through it.
To change DOS to Unix, use
cp <fileid> <fileid>.dos &&
cat <fileid>.dos | tr -d '\r' > <fileid>
Or in
vim, you can convert a file with
:set ff={unix, dos, mac}. Other conversions will probably require sed or a different use of tr and are left as an exercise for the reader.
- Is there a way to download all current files at one time?
Yes. You can download the file LFS-BOOK-x.y-wget-list http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/stable. To download all the files, use the version of
wgeton your host distribution to run:
wget --input-file=LFS-BOOK-x.y-wget-list
General compilation errors
- I used a patch from GNU to upgrade. Is that OK?
Patches from GNU don't usually work. You can either download the full archive and try again or try the solution given by Gerard Beekmans:
The problem is that executable marked scripts are patched too and they then lose the executable bit, so you can't execute those scripts anymore until you run a "chmod +x" on them (or something similar, like chmod 755) before installing Glibc. Try chmod +x glibc-2.2.5/scripts/* (not 100% sure about the directory paths but it should be obvious where to do it when running an 'ls' on the glibc-2.2.5 directory).
- When using optimization flags (setting CFLAGS)
If you're getting errors and you're setting CFLAGS or otherwise passing optimization flags to the compiler that may be the problem.
If you ask on the list and they can't figure it out immediately, they'll likely suggest trying it without optimization. So if you just retry it without before asking, you'll be one step ahead of them :)
Of particular note is that optimizing binutils, gcc, or glibc may cause any other package to fail to compile or run or to otherwise misbehave in strange and mysterious ways. Also, optimization that works for someone else may not work for you. Flags that used to work may mysteriously stop working. Even some small innocent hardware change can make the difference.
(If you don't know what optimization flags are, don't worry, you really don't need to.)
- Why does configure hang at "checking for signed size_t type..."?
You over optimized gcc.
- I didn't delete the source tree after my last attempt. Do I need to?
Yes. In general
make cleanor
make dist-cleancan't be relied upon for clean sources. Especially when you have manually hacked the sources or applied patches to it you should first try again with a fresh unpacked package. The only exception to this rule is the linux kernel, which requires its sources to be present when third-party modules, such as the NVidia drivers, are needed.
- I'm getting `/dev/null: Permission denied'
Does /dev/null look like this:
$ ls -l /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Aug 3 2000 /dev/null
If not, it should. See the chmod(1), chown(1), and mknod(1) man pages and /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt if you need help fixing it.
If it does look right, the problem is probably your mount options. See the answer to "./configure: bad interpreter: Permission denied", above.
- signal 11 (internal error: Segmentation fault)
The long answer is at http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/.
The short answer is that if restarting make gets a little further every time, you have a hardware problem. (If make, or whatever you're running, fails at the same place every time, then it is not hardware.)
Assuming you're not overclocking, the most likely hardware problem is bad memory which you can check with Memtest86 from http://www.memtest86.com/. If that isn't it, see the long answer.
- No such file or directory
Examples of this error are:
/usr/bin/env: /tools/bin/bash: No such file or directory
gcc: No such file or directory
This usually indicates a typo in the GCC Pass 2 installation. For older LFS versions, the most common cause of this problem would be forgetting to apply the specs patch.
What happens is that the path to the dynamic linker embedded inside the executable is still pointing at /lib/ld-linux.so.2 and when one goes to run the binary inside the chroot where /lib/ld-linux.so.2 does not exist yet, the very unhelpful
No such file or directoryerror message is shown.
You can test this with
readelf -l {binary} | grep interpreter. Its output should be:
Requesting program interpreter: /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2.
- bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
You forgot to
cdinto the extracted directory of the package after you've extracted it.
- ./configure: bad interpreter: Permission denied
You're most likely getting this while building binutils in Chapter 5 of the LFS Book. The problem is most likely your mount options. You probably have a line in /etc/fstab like:
/dev/hda10 /mnt/lfs ext2 user 1 2
'user' is the mount flag, and it's the problem. To quote from the mount man page:user: Allow an ordinary user to mount the file system. This option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by subsequent options, as in the option line user,exec,dev,suid).
So change the line in /etc/fstab like this:
/dev/hda10 /mnt/lfs ext2 defaults 1 2
- configure can't guess my host type.
Typical symptoms look like this:
sk ~/tmp-0.0 $ ./configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type...
configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one
sk ~/tmp-0.0 $
The problem is usually that the script can't run the compiler. Usually it's just a missing /usr/bin/cc symlink. You can fix it like this:
cd /usr/bin && ln -s gcc cc
If that doesn't do it, check the file config.log created by configure. Errors are recorded there and may indicate the problem.
- checking whether we are using GNU C... no
If you're getting an error from configure like:
checking whether we are using GNU C... no
configure: error: GNU libc must be compiled using GNU CC
It may be because egrep isn't working. Since egrep is a shell-script which calls grep, this actually means there's a problem with grep.
To test if grep is working before reinstalling the grep package in Chapter 6, run the following command from outside chroot:
file $LFS/bin/grep
If it doesn't say
statically linkedyou have a problem and need to reinstall the grep package according to the instruction in chapter 5.
To test if egrep is working after reinstalling the grep package in Chapter 6, run the following command from inside chroot:
egrep root /etc/passwd
If it doesn't print root's line from /etc/passwd, again, you have a problem. (This test also works if you encounter the problem after rebooting into the new LFS system.)
- The system has no more ptys. Ask your system administrator to create more.
If you run
expect -c "spawn ls"
and get the following error:
The system has no more ptys.
Ask your system administrator to create more.
then your linux distribution is either not setup to use Unix98 PTYs or to use the /dev/pts file system.
The solution may require recompiling your kernel. First, go to your kernel's source directory and look at the .config file. If you do not have a .config file, and you are running the pre-compiled kernel that was installed with rpm, aptget, or whatever your distribution uses, then you need to seek support from your distribution's support FAQ's, mailing lists or IRC channels.
If you do have a .config file, look inside it for the following 2 options:
If either of these has 'n' instead of 'y', then change it and recompile the kernel.
If they both have 'y', then you probably will not have to recompile the kernel.
Next, we need to ensure that the system is actually using both Unix98 PTYs and the /dev/pts file system.
First, look for a device called /dev/ptmx. If it doesn't exist, create it with:
mknod /dev/ptmx c 5 2
Then, whether it existed or you just created it, run:
chmod 666 /dev/ptmx
Next, ensure that there is a directory called /dev/pts. The permissions should be 755. Create it and/or chmod it if needed.
The final setup is to add the following line to /etc/fstab:
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
NOTE: Look for the tty group in /etc/group and note the group id number. Change the gid=5 option to match the group id number of the tty group. The group id of 5 is just an example and may differ on your system.
Now that everything is setup, you have two options.
1. Mount /dev/pts and test it by rerunning the above expect command.
2. Reboot the computer and test it by rerunning the above expect command.
Package-specific errors
If compiling GCC in Chapter 5 errors out with
Error: Unknown pseudo-op: `.hidden'
Try the solution given in the lfs-support archives and replies.
- Glibc fails and mentions BEGIN and END.
If glibc fails to build with an error like this:
'BEGIN { subdirs = ""; inhibit = "" }; \
^# { next }; \
^[^-] { subdirs = subdirs " " $0 }; \
^- { inhibit = inhibit " " substr($0, 2) }; \
END { printf "sysdep-subdirs =%s\n", subdirs; \
printf "sysdep-inhibit-subdirs =%s\n", inhibit; \
print "sysd-dirs-done = t" }' \
/dev/null linuxthreads/sysdeps/pthread/Subdirs
sysdeps/unix/inet/Subdirs sysdeps/unix/Subdirs >
/bin/sh: line 1: BEGIN { subdirs = ""; inhibit = "" };
^# { next };
^[^-] { subdirs = subdirs " " $0 }; ^- { inhibit =
inhibit " " substr($0, 2) }; END
then gawk is failing. The key is the BEGIN and END in the output. The probable reason is that it is linked incorrectly. This can be fixed by recompiling it as the lfs user, according to the directions in Chapter 5.
- Glibc compilation errors out due to a missing nss.h header file
This usually indicates that you are compiling LFS onto a Reiser4 partition. Unfortunately, there is currently no known solution, other than to use a different type of filesystem.
- NCurses: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
Ncurses in chapter six ends with:
checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
The problem is that you have no c++ compiler. In chapter five, gcc is first built without the C++ compiler. Before building ncurses, gcc is rebuilt with the C++ compiler. Most probably, you forgot to extract the g++ tarball, or did not specify "c++" in the --enable-languages configure switch, on the 2nd gcc build. There are more details in the mail archive.
Configuration and booting issues
- Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs
There are several reasons why the kernel might be unable to mount the root filesystem.
- Did you specify the correct partition in
- Is support for the hard drive enabled in the kernel. For SCSI this means support for the specific SCSI adapter.
- Is support for the hard drive compiled into the kernel, not just as a module. (Modules are stored on the filesystem. If a driver needed to access the filesystem is stored as a module on that filesystem, well ... you know ... ;)
- Is support for the filesystem compiled into the kernel. Again, not a module. Support for ext2 is enabled by default, but others like ext3, reiser, jfs, and xfs are not.
- Did you specify the correct partition in
- init: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
When you see, in your syslogs, this line:
init: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
It means you have an error in the /etc/inittab line beginning with the given id ("1" in this example).
- modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-10-135
char-major-10-135refers to the character device, major 10, minor 135, which is /dev/rtc. It provides access to the BIOS clock, or RTC, the Real Time Clock. See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/rtc.txt for more information.
The error is because something, most likely hwclock, is trying to use /dev/rtc but you haven't configured kernel support for it in your kernel. Either delete /dev/rtc so hwclock won't try to use it or enable RTC support in your kernel. It's located in make menuconfig under "Character devices" -> "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support".
- modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/rtc
See the question "modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-10-135".
- eth0:unknown interface:No such device [failed]
The full error looks like this:
eth0:unknown interface:No such device [failed]
Setting up default gateway...
SIOCADDRT:No such device [failed]
eth0 is a virtual device with no /dev entry. It refers to the first detected network card in your system. The reason the kernel can't find this device is because you forgot to add support for your network card in the kernel. The kernel detected the card but doesn't have a driver for it. The LFS boot script tries to bring up the network but fails because of this.
Recompile your kernel with the proper driver, either built in or as a module. If you compiled the network driver as a module, then also adjust /etc/modules.conf to alias the network card module as eth0; for example:
alias eth0 8139too. If you don't know which network card you have, you can use
dmesg, /proc/pci or
lspcito find out.
- spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ14
Short summary: It's a hardware problem (usually). Transient Line-noise/crosstalk persuades the PIC that something happened; this can result in a 'dummy' interrupt being raised, which happens to be IRQ7 with intel's 8259 design.The problem could possibly also be caused by (or instead be caused by) a device driver not properly masking its interrupts before servicing, this would be the suspect if the IRQ7's were happening in bursts, or more often than 'several' per day. (Source and additional information)
Since the message itself is harmless, it's enough to adjust the default loglevel outplut of klogd (the -c opion) in the syslogd bootscript. See
man klogdfor details. You can also try recompiling the kernel and unset CONFIG_LOCAL_APIC.
- Why does less (and therefore man) print <AD> instead of hyphens?
Because the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables aren't set. To fix that, set them in both the ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc files for each user or in /etc/profile, which will take care of all users, by adding lines like this:
export LANG=en_US
export LC_ALL=POSIX
Those lines can be added to /etc/profile with the following command:
echo -e 'export LANG=en_US\nexport LC_ALL=POSIX' >> /etc/profile
If you don't use US English you'll have to change the "en_US" part and possibly the values of various LC_* variables as well. Running the locale command lists many (all?) of the LC_* variables.

Article content
LOS ANGELES – There's a special competition played each year among the major stakeholders at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the gargantuan video game trade show held each year in Los Angeles.
It goes something like: "We have this. They don't."
While E3 hosts several dozen video game developers and publishers, many eyes are on the so-called Big Three – Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo – as they wage a battle for consumers' loyalty, trotting out games (or exclusive content for otherwise non-exclusive games) that can't be found on their competitors' systems.
After Microsoft kicked off E3 by unveiling a roster of upcoming Xbox One titles for 2014 and 2015, Monday night and Tuesday morning saw Sony and Nintendo staging their own unveilings – a massive, high-tech press conference in the Los Angeles Memorial Arena for Sony, and a whimsical online-only video presentation for Nintendo – in a bid to convince gamers that their hardware and games are all anyone could want.
Sony made a splash with the revelation that the much-anticipated sci-fi shooter Destiny, by the creators of Halo, will come to the PlayStation 4 first in the form of a free "first look" demo, running this Thursday through Sunday. When the game launches in October, it will be available as a bundle with a new, white-coloured version of the PlayStation 4 console.
Sony announced that its game streaming service PlayStation Now will make a trial run debut in the U.S. and Canada beginning July 31, and that PlayStation Vita TV – now rebranded as PlayStation TV, although essentially still a non-portable version of the Vita – will come out this holiday season for $99.
Only a handful of fully exclusive PS4 games were unveiled, but they ran the gamut from the family-friendly LittleBigPlanet 3, in which burlap hero Sackboy will be joined by three new characters, to the dark and violent games Bloodborne and Let It Die.
After showing off games that will arrive on both Microsoft and Sony's consoles but contain PS4-exclusive components, including Batman: Arkham Knight and the made-in-Canada Far Cry 4, Sony capped its E3 press conference with a brief trailer for next year's PS4 exclusive Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, driving home the fact that just as 2015 will be a big year for movies, it will also be a massive year for gaming.
Nintendo, meanwhile, played directly to its devoted fanbase with a lighthearted online digital event that included Robot Chicken-style segments, developer interviews and Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Amis and Nintendo president and CEO Satoru Iwata duking it out in a real-life take on Super Smash Bros.
Nintendo's big revelations included the upcoming release of Amiibo, a set of plastic character figurines that will interact with Nintendo games, beginning with this year's Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 8. While it's clearly lifting a page from Activision's Skylanders and Disney Infinity, it seems a natural fit for Nintendo's history and audience.
Some of Nintendo's second-string characters will be getting a turn in the spotlight, with the Wii U game Yoshi's Wooly World coming in 2015 and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker releasing this holiday season. Also on tap are a pair of new Pokemon games, the action games Bayonetta 2 and Hyrule Warriors and Mario Maker, a Wii U game that will allow players to build their own Super Mario Bros. levels.
But Nintendo's big reveal was a new and as-yet untitled The Legend of Zelda game for 2015, set in a sprawling open world that players can explore at will.
Also in the early stages of production is a new version of Star Fox, last seen on the Nintendo 64 in 1997.
"There's never been a better time to play games on Nintendo platforms," said Fils-Aime.

My First Multi Casualty Incident ( MCI )
In the EMS profession , every prospective EMT and paramedic student is taught how to react to and handle an incident involving multiple casualties . They know once they are out on their own in the field , it can happen and will happen , anyday , anytime , and being prepared is essential . when something like that happens there is no time to be standing around gawking , with the OMG look on one's face . It's time for quick decisive action , organization and importantly teamwork to treat and stabilize the victims then transport them to an appropriate hospital as rapidly as possible .
My first Multi Casualty Incident came in the summer of 1982 . It was an unusually slow day with just a couple of non-emergency transports to answer for and most of us at Magic Valley Ambulance were being idle . We were sitting around the office talking telli ng stories and bad jokes . reading , watching t.v. ( damn thing only worked half the time anyway ) , or studying . I was sitting on the couch under the speaker for the police scanner in our office , reading the latest edition of Emergency magazine when county law enforcement dispatch had sent deputies to a two vehicle , head on collision on a country road about 1 mile south and a quarter mile west from the east end of town . according to dispatch , there were multiple injuries , traffic blockage , and extrication was required . No sooner then I got up to warn the rest of the guys that were about to get a call , the emergency line rang and the tones went off for our competitors on another frequency . The boss sent four of my co-workers and two ambulances to the scene while my other boss , two other co-workers and myself suited up and rolled out to the scene in our 1970 Chevy four wheel drive low roof Suburban ambulance that was our off road and extrication rig . It was white with a red stripe down the sides , hood , and back end with the star of life stickers on the rear doors . It had a Federal Model 184 roof beacon , Federal PA 15 siren , a Motorola Motrac UHF radio to law enforcement agencies , another one on VHF HI Band to the hospital , and a third radio to contact the US Forest Service & Bureau of Land Management police units on their frequencies .
When we arrived on scene , it looked like one chaotic mess . The victims moaning & writhing in pain , begging for help , emergency vehicles everywhere , and those who witnessed the accident . I didn't feel intimidated in any way but knew well enough there was a lot of work to be done and very little time to do it . We knew that a passenger car and a pickup truck had collided head on , passengers were all unrestrained , and both vehicles had major front end damage with the front seat passengers pinned in by the dash board unable to get out . There was a low risk of fire to the vehicles and the speed limit on that stretch of road was 50 miles per hour . We also knew that there was a potential for major traumatic injury or fatalities .
We also knew that we had a total of seven patients , five in the car and two in the pickup truck , but we had to decide immediately which vehicle to start extrication with first factoring in the mechanism of injury , time of the accident , extent of injuries , and any immediate hazards . Our group decided to take on the pickup truck because we had a female patient that was nine months pregnant and en route to the hospital with her boyfriend /husband to give birth to her first born child ! She had abdominal injuries , cuts and lacerations to her forehead and face , and a broken ankle or foot but due to her pregnancy we classified her as a critical patient . We were deeply concerned about her because of the danger of her possibly losing her unborn child as well as her own life . Meanwhile , her companion had a broken leg , face , forehead & scalp lacerations , back pain , and bruising on his chest with no broken bones or signs of pneumothorax .
A local fire department who was then relied on for backup vehicle extrication arrived on scene to take care of and free the victims trapped in the car .
Extrication was started on the pickup truck and we spent no time getting rid of the roof so my co-workers could go to work on assessing and stabilizing both patients . As soon as we raised the dashboard off the victims and removed the doors we could get them immobilized on backboards and transport to the hospital ER .
Now , take in mind that 35 years ago in our area of Idaho , we didn't have the luxuries of having a trauma center setup in our ER , paramedics , or a medical helicopter . This meant that if a patient needed specialized medical care , they would have to go by ground ambulance to hospitals in Boise or Salt Lake City . The highest level of training allowed at the time was Advanced EMT at the Intermediate Life Support ( ILS ) level . In addition to the skills roles and responsibilities a Basic EMT learns , they had at the time additional hours of training and education in administering I.V. fluids , Esophageal Obturator Airway ( EOA ) insertion , and application of the Pneumatic Anti Shock Garment (PASG ) or " MAST " suit . There were eight people certified at that level at the service that I worked for and the other service had 10 .
Moments later , as we were loading our patients into our 1981 Chevy Type ll hi roof van ambulance , my boss came over to ask who was going to drive to the hospital . I had a driver's licence with a good driving record so I excepted the assignment .
The unit itself was your basic orange & white rig with a Federal light bar with red and clear bulbs and clear lenses . it had two steady burning red lights on the hood with red flashing lights on the rear and sides with two white alley lights on each side . There was also two sirens in it . An SVP ( Southern Vehicle Products ) and North American Signal push button electronic . The police and hospital radios were both Motorola Micors . It had a 350 cc V-8 gas engine under it's hood .
I then hopped inside the front seat , fastened my seat belt , shut the door and started moving Code 3 to the hospital while notifying our dispatch . an ambulance from the other service along with a sheriff's deputy fell in behind me . NOw , all my attention was focused on getting these two patients and three of my fellow co-workers to the hospital as fast and safely as I can in one piece without heaven forbid having an accident . My mind was also focused on the traffic ahead and around us and there were no problems getting to the hospital . People were actually pulling over for us !
In a span of just about five minutes , we arrived at the new ER that had just opened up as part of an extensive renovation and expansion project . The ER staff was standing at the ready for the hand off of the patients coming in and we were directed to put the pregnant woman's significant other in the orthopedic treatment room and her in one of the resuscitation rooms . The others coming in would be placed in any one of the yellow curtained treatment stalls except for the driver of the car who was also critical , going into the other resuscitation room . The driver of the car had some extensive orthopedic injuries with a suspected concussion , so he was later that evening transferred to a hospital in Boise , that had the facilities to surgically treat his injuries .
Another one of the patients was hospitalized overnight for observation and three of them were treated and later released .
After we got the Patient Care Report ( PCR ) paperwork done and got the ambulance cleaned up , put back together and placed back into service , we headed back to the office concerned about the pregnant woman and exhausted .
It wasn't a bit over an hour later with all of us back from the call , when the elder boss who was also the county Coroner walked into the lobby with a saddened look on on his face . He called us all in there to break the bad news to us that he just got a call from the ER doc , and that in fact the baby had died . Our hearts were all broken and there were no words spoken , just stunned looks and tears shed . But if there is anything good to come out of this senseless tragedy , both our service and the new one worked well together without any bickering or a pi**ing contest .
However for myself , even though this is one call that I really want to forget about , I guess I never will .

text: Jack Sarfatti NOW FOR THE REAL PHYSICAL MEANING OF THE LEVI-CIVITA THEOREM THAT THE DIFFERENCE IN TWO LC CONNECTIONS IS A TENSORTHAT TENSOR IS THE PROPER ACCELERATION OF THE LOCAL NON-INERTIAL FRAME.On 1/8/2014 9:55 PM, Jacob Sarfatti wrote:Its physical significance is pretty simple:The non-tensor inhomogeneous term in the transformation of the Christoffel symbol connection field is the change in proper acceleration of the lnif.Sent from my iPadMore precisely,What I meant was that the XdX inhomogeneous term in the GCT gauge transformation LNIF -> LNIF' CANCELS OUT in the computation of the proper acceleration of the LNIF detector, which by definition is a property of its REST FRAME, i.e. the reading of the accelerometer clamped to its center of mass. We are here talking about the local rest frame of the detector not that of the test particle the detector is monitoring.It's this cancellation of the two equal and opposite XdX terms in the respective rest frames of the detectors that maintains the tensor property of the proper accelerations of the two coincident LNIF/LNIF' connected by GCT X.GCT X is a an element of the local translational gauge group T4(x).So in EM we haveA -> A' = A + (hc/e)dSthis keepsP = mV + (e/c)A gauge invariant.mV -> mV' = mV + hdSS = quantum phase of wave function of test particle with inertia m and with charge e.(e/c)A -> (e/c)A' = (e/c)A - hdShdS is the momentum carried by a longitudinally polarized virtual photon that is the CONTACT electrical force in quantum field theory.dP/dt = 0 is ACTION-REACTION principle between electric charge and coincident EM field.dP/dt = 0 is the real force lawmdV/dt = eEsince E ~ (1/c)dA/dtNow for gravity, we focus on the proper acceleration of the detector (a rest frame property of the detector) not the test particle.The GCT X induces an XdX kinetic acceleration term which is canceled by the equal and opposite XdX term in the LC transformation.This keeps the tensor property intact forDV^i(LNIF)/ds = {LNIF}^i00in every rest framei.e.DV^i'(LNIF')/ds = {LNIF}^i'0'0'The LC connection in flat spacetime is exactly like the LC connection in curved spacetime.Flat spacetime is simply an unstable solution of Einstein's field equations. Mathematically the LC connection has zero self curl in flat spacetime. The self curl of the LC connection is the curvature tensor.The LC connection is not zero in flat spacetime in non-inertial frames.The inhomogeneous term is the change in proper acceleration of the frame.Symbolically X = GCT which physically is the transformation between two COINCIDENT LNIFs each with proper acceleration encoded in their corresponding LCs.LC --> LC' = XXXLC + XdXI must have the patience of a saint.More accurately of a demon!The proper acceleration of the test particle is the tensorDV(test particle)/ds = dV(test particle)/ds - LC(LNIF)V(test particle)V(test particle)The proper acceleration of the LNIF in its rest frame isDV(LNIF)/ds = dV(LNIF)/ds - LC(LNIF)V(LNIF)V(LNIF)but in the rest frame, for the 3-vector partsV(LNIF) = 0dV(LNIF)/ds = 0ThereforeDV^i(LNIF)/ds = - LC(LNIF)^i00V^0(LNIF)V^0(LNIF)V^0 = 1 in the REST FRAME alwaystherefore,DV^i(LNIF)/ds = - LC(LNIF)^i00Under the GCT in the REST FRAME of LNIF'DV^i'(LNIF)/ds = - LC(LNIF')^i'0'0'V^0'(LNIF')V^0'(LNIF') = - LC(LNIF')^i'0'0'Because, just like in the U(1) EM gauge transformationsdV(LNIF)/ds -> dV(LNIF')/ds = dV(LNIF)/ds + XdXWhilst- LC(LNIF)^i00 -> - LC(LNIF)^i'0'0 - XdXTherefore the XdX inhomogeneous terms cancel out for the transformation LNIF -> LNIF' when we calculate the proper acceleration change of the center of mass /origin of the LNIF.

Skip to 0 minutes and 7 seconds Genetic diabetes is a very particular challenge. The reason for that is that it's all new knowledge. It's not something that's known by the majority of consultants so we have a real difficulty in how we educate people. Typically, in diabetes and endocrinology we get shown a patient and then we learned about it. If the senior members of staff don't know about genetic diabetes, it's really hard for them to instruct. And so that's why we've had to look for different ways of doing this. But it's really important that every single diabetes specialist knows about these rare diagnoses.
Skip to 0 minutes and 44 seconds That fact that they are 3% of diabetes diagnosed under 30 means that you are going to see these cases, and if you don't know about them, they're going to be missed. So the crucial thing is to raise awareness amongst clinicians and give them the ability to make the diagnosis. The NHS cannot afford to test everyone so we have to make sure that those people that are tested are likely to have it. And that is a very specific clinical skill, something that has been made much better by things like the MODY Probability Calculator and the app. And indeed, with those things, we can now take a lot of the guesswork out of making a diagnosis.
Skip to 1 minute and 31 seconds You can also be helped by investigations, things like autoantibodies, but make sure that you do GAD and IA-2, and, ideally, zinc transporter as a way of excluding type 1 diabetes. And the measuring of C-peptide is helpful if the levels are very low because that makes a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. So we can use those investigations, but in the end of the day, we come down to needing to make a definite clinical diagnosis and that requires a DNA sample to be sent to Exeter. I think the crucial thing here is, if in doubt, to ask. To use the information available on the web, to send emails, to use you genetic diabetes specialist nurse.
Skip to 2 minutes and 18 seconds The best thing to do is to send a patient who is very likely to have MODY rather than one who possibly could. Particularly at the beginning when you're trying to convince people that this money is really worth spending. I think for anyone who's made a genetic diagnosis, they will have absolutely no doubt that the cost to the NHS of making this diagnosis is absolutely worth it.
What is the impact for clinicians?
In this video, Professor Andrew Hattersley explains the importance of making a genetic diagnosis in patients with diabetes from the clinician's perspective.

It's pliable, can be stretched and cut easily, absorbs dye, and adds to the beauty and aesthetic appeal of a volume. While not without its problems - susceptibility to extreme temperatures, moisture and humidity, light exposure and more - leather is still often the binder's choice for fine jobs, though synthetic equivalents are popular as well as various cloths.
The most traditional leather bindings are sheep, roan (a thinner, cheap sheep leather), calf and goat, and goat leather is called morocco. Morocco is the most common type of leather used in the books on display here, which all boast exquisite examples of leather inlays. Inlaid leather is a style of binding decoration where the binder inserts pieces of leather - of a pre-determined color, cut, shape and size - into an existing leather binding to create a pattern, often mosaic or a quilt-like effect. The different colored leathers can be anything from abstract patterns and designs to nature scenes, floral decorations or portraits of people.
Any of these would make a fantastic and eye-catching addition to a collection, or a wonderful gift - especially if you know a couple celebrating their third wedding anniversary, as leather is the traditional gift.
Please note: quantity on rare books extremely limited; copies on display may sell quickly.

DPW crews take action to prevent flooding
The coming rain and warmup has the city of Milwaukee taking action.
The Department of Public works is trying to ward off potential problems.
Austin Ward and his DPW plow were determined to find the sidewalk at Lisbon Avenue and Clarke Street on Thursday morning.
"It's looks fluffy on top, but what's it like down deep?" WISN 12 News reporter Patrick Paolantonio asked.
"Kind of icy still. Still icy," Ward said.
Sunshine is helping out, and with warmer temperatures and rain in the forecast, there's concern where the runoff, will go.
Catch basins are buried and blocked by mounds of snow and ice.
To head off flooding, first thing Friday morning, Milwaukee's Department of Public Works said it will send out crews to open up catch basins in low-lying areas.
"Areas that pond pretty fast once we start getting this warm weather," Milwaukee Sewer Service Manager Bob Brooks said.
They're not only locating the grates and clearing them off, they are also removing them and sucking out the debris inside.
Within minutes, a catch basin at Capitol Drive and MLK Drive was cleaned up.
Brooks said about 55,000 catch basins are in the city, so it helps when residents, help with theirs.
"And a lot of them know exactly where they are, so (if) they can go out there and shovel them out, they will relieve themselves of problems, surface ponding if we should get this rainfall and warm weather," Brooks said.
In case of any issues, Brooks said all crews will be on standby this weekend.

"It's not right people judge us all based on what a few people did, but it's completely Tila's fault that it happened. I mean, did you see how she dressed? She's a whore! And her music sucks! One of the people on stage committed the Unpardonable Sin of not knowing our group's jargon! Tila didn't immediately cave to our abuse and stood up for herself instead of cowering with her tail between her legs! What else could rational people do other than assault her??!"
How sad are the juggalos commenting on this blog? How much can you whine about being misunderstood without seeing the blatant irony? This attack is the clearest possible example of the lack of empathy in this group. You want to be understood? Try understanding others yourselves. It's shouldn't be too taxing on your imaginations to figure out that none of you would appreciate being pelted with objects, chased into a trailer, and terrorized while a mob outside tried to break in. Imagine standing in there, waiting for them to come in, and having that time to picture all the horrific things that might happen when they did. I'm sure Tila expected to die that night, I know I would have. But it's okay to subject another person to something like this because YOU didn't like her and her music. Your right to listen to a different musical artist is more important than her right not to be harmed. Fantastic.
While your victim blaming and slut shaming are unsurprising, please know these tired excuses are as old as mankind. Those poor, helpless juggalos- they are in no way responsible for their actions! It's interesting you would defend these people by arguing they are mindless idiots with no impulse control. Then you wonder why this doesn't endear you to others.
Instead of blaming the world for your problems, try taking a look at your own lives and owning up to your actions. It's beyond pathetic to blame Tila for the crowd's actions, as though they are not autonomous individuals capable of higher thinking. Instead of raving about "haters" and being misunderstood, try to understand others. See Tila's perspective of that terrifying night, for a start. Instead of ranting about hypocrisy in others, try looking at your own hypocrisy. I see nothing "kind, giving, loving" nor do I see anything illustrating "family" in a mob assault on a small group of people. Sorry.
I get that you can't control every member of your group. I get there are assholes in every group who ruin things for others. But you don't DEFEND those assholes and rationalize their behavior! The only reason to do that is if you SUPPORT their actions. Given the angry, hateful, vitriol posted by the juggalos here (a few of which laughingly label themselves as nice people), this sort of violence appears to be par for the course in your culture.
This comment thread is truly my first exposure to juggalos and you seem like a terrifying, hateful, angry, violent group. I'm sure this will be completely disregarded and chalked up to "hating" on your group, but it's my honest impression. Though it appears the opinions of those outside of the group are not valued in the juggalo community.
Speaking of beliefs, it's certainly your right to believe women should be stoned and attacked for their morals or perceived lack thereof. However, others don't have to agree with you. Just as you are asking for the right to hold your beliefs, you have to extend that same right to others. Be happy millions of people in other parts of the world agree with you and regularly rape, beat, or stone females to death for having "objectionable" morals. To them, women are not really people and it is society's job to abuse them until they submit. This seems to be an ideology many of you can get behind. Just don't expect all of us to accept it.
Honestly, this incident and the juggalo comments here make me very worried for the females involved with this group, some of whom posted in defense of this assault. I sincerely hope members of their "family" never one day decide to attack them for a breach of morals. While society in general supports rape culture and the subjugation of women, most people would be opposed to the assault on Tila. Your group's defense of it sends a VERY strong and clear message.
The bottom line is this should not have happened. It doesn't matter if you don't like Tila, her music, her morals, or any other asinine detail about her. She still did not deserve to be attacked. This is not right. It doesn't matter whether she was warned or not before taking the stage. (Why did she need to be warned about going in front of such a delightful group of caring individuals who are all about family and understanding in the first place??) No person deserves to be physically assaulted because you don't like their music.
Don't like her songs? Too fucking bad. Grow up, be an adult, and ignore her. There was nothing keeping those people at that stage. Instead of throwing a tantrum and abusing her, you could have simply moved on. Again, I'm amazed that so few of these juggalos even considered that option.
The worst, though, is all of those defending the juggalos who did assault her. It's one thing to be caught up in the moment, in the excitement of a crowd. It's another thing entirely to look at this scenario objectively, after the fact, and say it was acceptable.

Paul Krugman Destroys the GOP's Talking Points on Government Jobs
On Sunday, economist Paul Krugman hit back against GOP claims that public sector employment has increased under Obama, and that such jobs consist mainly of wasteful bureaucrats and somehow count less economically than private sector ones. Back in September it was tea party Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) toeing that line, and this morning it was former Republican gubernatorial candidate Carly Fiorina.
The exchange commenced immediately after Krugman made the point that, had government employment in the current recovery followed the same path it followed under previous recessions in the Bush and Reagan years, unemployment now would be slightly above 6 percent:
CARLY FIORINA: I think it's important to remember, when we talk about the economy, that a private sector job and a public sector job are not the same things. They're not equivalent. I'm not saying public sector jobs aren't important. But a private sector job pays for itself. A private sector job creates other jobs. A public sector job is paid for by taxpayers. [...]
PAUL KRUGMAN: But when we say public sector jobs, it is not a bureaucrat in Washington, D.C.
FIORINA: Oh, it is, actually.
KRUGMAN: When we talk about public sector jobs — when we look at the ones that have been lost in large numbers in this — it's basically school teachers. Don't think about bureaucrats. It's school teachers. What we've laid off hundreds of thousands of school teachers. And when we talk about the cuts in public spending that have happened, they are not, you know, some god awful who knows what. It's actually public investment. It's largely fixing potholes and repairing bridges.
So, you know, you have this image of these wasteful bureaucrats doing god knows what. What we've seen is an incredible drought of basic infrastructure, and laying off hundreds of thousands of school teachers.
FIORINA: It is a fact that virtually every department in every organization in Washington, D.C. has seen its budget increase for the last 40 years. That money is being paid to hire people. The number of people who are — of course there are some teachers…
Watch it:
Public sector jobs at the federal level have actually remained pretty stable over the last forty years. They began and ended the period around approximately 2.8 million, with a bounce to about 3.1 million circa-1990. Public sector jobs at the state and local levels increased significantly over those forty years, peaking at a bit over 19 million total when President Obama entered office. (They've fallen since, accounting for the decline in overall public employment.) But nearly all of that growth was in teachers and support staff for the education system, who now total nearly 7 million of those state and local workers.
The other major categories of jobs in state and local public employment are, as Krugman noted, police, firefighters, health care workers, and maintenance workers and drivers for the country's transportation infrastructure. And the overall population of the country has also been growing, so even though the raw number of state and local workers increased significantly, the ratio of those workers to the overall population did not — 59 per 1000 in 1980 versus 65 per 1000 today.
In fact, the hit the U.S. economy took in the fourth quarter of 2012 was almost entirely due to a drop in government spending, and the economy is in for another blow should the sequester cuts kick in. We've been cutting jobs that provide demand in the economy and invest in the country's potential for future economic growth, at a time when both are sorely needed to help the economy recover.

Alchemia cancer drug gets patent protection
Singapore: Alchemia has been granted a further patent term adjustment for a key HyACT US patent, as well as an important additional patent further protecting its fondaparinux manufacturing platform in the US.
A review of a recently granted US HyACT patent, which is critical to Alchemia's platform oncology technology, has resulted in the patent term being adjusted by an additional 504 days. Patent 8,388,993, titled "Hyaluronan-Chemotherapeutic agent formulations for the treatment of colon cancer," provides US protection for the use of the company's proprietary drug HA-Irinotecan in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. It also protects Alchemia's HyACT drug delivery platform as applied to a range of other anti-cancer drugs when used to treat drug resistant colorectal cancer.
Based on a Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) issued by the US Patent and Trade Mark Office (PTO), Alchemia previously reported the expiry date for this patent had been extended from July, 2021-to-November, 2023. However, the patent term has been further reassessed, and now extends out to March 24, 2025, subject to any terminal disclaimers or restrictions imposed by the US PTO.
In addition to the IP extension for HyACT, Alchemia has also been granted US patent 8,404,833, titled "Synthetic Heparin Disaccharides." This patent is part of a suite of patents securing the company's proprietary method of synthesis of intermediates for the manufacture of fondaparinux sodium, a generic anti-coagulant product already in market. The new patent has been granted through September, 2022. The parent patent (US 7,541,445) is entitled to a further 260 days of Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) beyond the September, 2022 term.
"We are pleased to see our IP protection significantly extended for our proprietary HyACT technology platform and to add another key patent to our fondaparinux suite," said Dr Mike West, VP, Intellectual Property, Alchemia. "With our IP stronger than ever, we look forward to the progression of both late stage HyACT technology and commercial stage fondaparinux toward enhanced patient outcomes in the US and beyond."
