Go should add the ability to create alternate equivalent names for types, in order to enable gradual code repair during codebase refactoring. This article explains the need for that ability and the implications of not having it for today's large Go codebases. This article also examines some potential solutions, including the alias feature proposed during the development of (but not included in) Go 1.8. However, this article is not a proposal of any specific solution. Instead, it is intended as the start of a discussion by the Go community about what solution should be included in Go 1.9.
This article is an extended version of a talk given at GothamGo in New York on November 18, 2016.
Go's goal is to make it easy to build software that scales. There are two kinds of scale that we care about. One kind of scale is the size of the systems that you can build with Go, meaning how easy it is to use large numbers of computers, process large amounts of data, and so on. That's an important focus for Go but not for this article. Instead, this article focuses on another kind of scale, the size of Go programs, meaning how easy it is to work in large codebases with large numbers of engineers making large numbers of changes independently.
One such codebase is Google's single repository that nearly all engineers work in on a daily basis. As of January 2015, that repository was seeing 40,000 commits per day across 9 million source files and 2 billion lines of code. Of course, there is more in the repository than just Go code.
Another large codebase is the set of all the open source Go code that people have made available on GitHub and other code hosting sites. You might think of this as
's codebase. In contrast to Google's codebase,
's codebase is completely decentralized, so it's more difficult to get exact numbers. In November 2016, there were 140,000 packages known to
Mackage Ssense Exclusive Grey Keeley Crossbody Bag 5gHZxK
, and over 160,000 GitHub repos written in Go .
Supporting software development at this scale was in our minds from the very beginning of Go. We paid a lot of attention to implementing imports efficiently. We made sure that it was difficult to import code but forget to use it, to avoid code bloat. We made sure that there weren't unnecessary dependencies between packages, both to simplify programs and to make it easier to test and refactor them. For more detail about these considerations, see Rob Pike's 2012 article " Go at Google: Language Design in the Service of Software Engineering ."
Over the past few years we've come to realize that there's more that can and should be done to make it easier to refactor whole codebases, especially at the broad package structure level, to help Go scale to ever-larger programs.
we're different. that's good.

Find State and Local Adaptation Plans The Georgetown Climate Center tracks progress states are making in implementing their adaptation plans and provides quick access to local plans in every state on their main website.

The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) 2010 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is hosted on a comprehensive website which includes other information regarding local hazard mitigation planning, interactive maps showing areas at risk due to events such as flooding, wildfire, and landslides (based on historic data), and strategic priorities and actions submitted by individual agencies participating in the Mitigation Plan. The Plan itself identifies natural hazards with the greatest impact to the Bay Area including climate change, flooding, landslides, wildfires and drought. The role that climate change plays in increasing the frequency and intensity of these hazards is discussed.
Specific chapters of the plan address infrastructure (including transportation), health care, housing, economy, government, schools and education, environment and land use. For each of these sectors, the chapter includes various strategies to address earthquake, flooding, wildfire, landslide, tsunamis, hazardous materials release and dam failure. Additionally, the chapters outline regional priorities for these strategies.
The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) outlines a process which cities, counties, and special districts can follow to develop a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Development of this plan is a requirement for certain benefits from CalEMA and FEMA. To assist local governments in meeting this requirement, ABAG is the lead agency on the multi-jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJ-LHMP) for the San Francisco Bay Area. Cities and counties can adopt and use all or part of this multi-jurisdictional plan in lieu of preparing all or part of a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan themselves. However, they need to have participated in the development of the multi-jurisdictional plan to adopt it. The plan was originally adopted in 2005. The 2010 plan has been adopted by ABAG and local jurisdictions are in the process of updating their annexes.

How do you throw a truly epic hackathon? In this post, we're going to walk you through some of the things that helped make one of the MLH team's favorite new events, BoilerMake, a huge success.
If you're not already familiar with it,
Swims Classic Lace Drivers Black 7VxuBD7Ua
is Purdue University's hackathon. They threw their first event this past Spring season and they have another event coming up in the Fall. Luke Walsh is a member of BoilerMake's UX Committee and the official MC.
Generally speaking, there are 5 things you need to organize a hackathon – a venue, food, power, wifi, and people. Getting those things right is core to having a successful event.
BoilerMake spent $5,000 improving the venue's wifi and brought in their school's IT department to help design the hardware layout.
Pro-tip. You should always lean toward having extra food and you should have an emergency budget in case you run out. More than one hackathon has been saved by a 2am Costco run.Pro-tip.
Pro-tip. Work with a local homeless shelter to donate any leftovers. They'll probably even send people to pick it up!
Throwing the largest possible hackathon has become a badge of honor among hackathon organizers. Even though they could have easily housed all 900 applicants, the BoilerMake organizers decided to cap the event at 400 (which was the capacity of the main gym).
You don't have to throw the world's largest hackathon to have a great event. Usually, limiting the size allows you to focus on a higher quality experience for both attendees and sponsors.
Pro-tip. You should always opt for a single large room over a bunch of smaller rooms for hacking space. As a hacker, it's really easy to call it quits when you get stuck if you're off by yourself in a random side-room. Being in a huge room with everyone else is an extremely powerful motivational and inspirational factor.
Another thing the BoilerMake organizers did well was positioning the sponsor tables next to the hackers. Having the mentors literally next to the hackers makes it really easy for people to ask them for help and for the sponsors to feel as if they are part of the event.
Charter buses are becoming an increasingly popular method of getting attendees to hackathons. Traditional travel reimbursements can cost up to $200 per attendee, but chartering a 56 passenger bus brings the cost down to around $50 (if you fill every seat).
Knowing this, it's really easy to go overboard and target schools that are far away. Keep bus trips short and only target schools that are within a 6 hour driving distance from your event. BoilerMake easily filled 7 charter buses from regional schools alone (UIUC, Rose-Hulman, University of Chicago, Ohio State, UW-Madison, Michigan, Iowa).

I have been renting a hospital-grade Medela, but I'm actually winding up with more than I need so I'm going down to pumping only the days I go to the office. I'd rather buy, but am not that interested in paying $300. Has anyone used and liked one of the more inexpensive pumps, like the Ameda Purely Yours?
I have a great supply and fast letdown, so I want something fairly quick and fairly strong but it doesn't need to be a powerhouse like I have now. I do use the medium-size flange with the Medela so I do need something that comes with a bigger size than the usual small ones (or has it as an optional extra part).

Another favorite post run, summertime salad, and this time it is attributed to the great Patricia Wells. Ironically, I've been making this salad a while, the first time I saw it was in a Runner's World magazine last summer. It was not until more recently that I looked at the attribute and realized this was one of Patricia's creations.
This time of year, the watermelon is coming in like crazy at the farmers markets. There are many health benefits from eating it since it contains some fantastic antioxidants. Interestingly enough, after watching a few television interviews, Patricia has mentioned that she really enjoys running (a woman after my own heart) and tries to run 5 miles every day.
Rock on Patricia!
The Shopping List:
- 2 pounds watermelon, rind removed
- 1 cup Greek feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves, cut into thin strips
- 1 cup mixed baby greens
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil or lemon oil
The Method:
Begin by cutting the watermelon into large pieces. Divide by four and put an equal amount on each of the plates. Mix in the feta cheese, mint, and greens on top of each watermelon serving dividing the portions equally once again.
Next up is the dressing. In a small container, mix the sea salt and lemon juice until thoroughly blended. Pour in the oil and mix once again. Drizzle the dressing over top of each of the salad portions.
Simple, easy, and delightful.

All Connecticut Utilities implement electric and gas efficiency rebate programs funded by Connecticut's public benefits charge through the Energy Efficiency Fund. The Connecticut Light and Power Company, The United Illuminating Company, Connecticut Natural Gas, Southern Connecticut Gas, and Yankeegas commercial customers can access the following programs:
The Small Business Energy Advantage provides an energy professional to analyze energy use and design a plan to lower consumption and energy costs. The energy assessment is free. The Program provides 30% to 40% of installation upgrade cost as a 0% interest loan in addition to rebates.
The Operations & Maintenance Services programs help commercial and industrial customers improve the maintenance and operation of electric equipment. Through the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund, utilities will pay part or all of the cost for analysis and installation of measures which meet the program requirements. Cost to the customer for analysis will be reimbursed at project completion. Measures are decided by the result of the energy assessment and vary at each facility. Some of the more common measures include: modifications to existing energy management sytems, pumps, and fans, HVAC and compressed air.
The Cool Choice Program offers rebates to commercial, industrial or agricultural customers of the United Illuminating Company that install high-efficiency air conditioning and air to air heat pump systems. The amount of the rebate varies depending on the SEER, EER, HPSF and size. Pre-approval from participating electric utility or sponsor required if the rebate total is greater than $5,000. Applications must be received within 30 days of equipment installation.
The Electric Solutions Program gives rebates to industrial, commercial, institutional, and agricultural customers for installing custom chilled water systems, electric ovens and furnaces, immersion heating applications, heat pump applications, infrared and ultraviolet heating, drying and curing.
The Express Lighting Rebate Program is provided to install energy efficient lighting fixtures into already existing facilities. New construction projects are not eligible. There must be at least a 10% system wattage reduction between the old and new system wattage for the project to qualify. A wide range of lighting equipment, including sensors, is eligible for rebates on a per-unit basis ranging from $10 to $50 per fixture.
Customers may also be interested in the Retro-Commissioning Program, which helps facilities significantly cut costs through optimizing equipment. Commissioning reports recommend certain energy efficient measures to be carried out by pre-approved energy efficiency professionals.

U.S. equity futures experienced a quick burst of buying after government data showed employers added more jobs than forecast and the unemployment rate unexpectedly declined. Non-farm payrolls came out at +146,000, with the median Bloomberg estimate calling for a number of 85,000. The closely watched unemployment rate fell to 7.7%, the lowest since December 2008. Watch for Jack Welch tweets. The Michigan consumer sentiment number decreased more than forecast, coming out at 74.5, down from 82.7 a month earlier.
We stick to our key pivot level for the DEC12 E-mini S&P 500 futures of 1420. We do anticipate a potentially strong rally if there is some deal regarding the fiscal cliff, however for now it is indeed a waiting game. As of this writing the S&P is weakening off of the high of 1422, now trading at 1413. This is evidence in our eyes that there really is a likelihood of highly subdued trading until the market knows more about 2013′s tax and budget situation.
In other commodities news, we would like to first focus on sugar. Sugar futures are still hovering very close to the very important level of 19 cents. Technically, we view potential for the sugar market to break down beneath this key level. Brazil's top sugar industry group Unica said last week that sugar output in Brazil's Center South-region jumped 37% in the first two weeks of November compared to the same period a year earlier. This information may very well be priced into the market, but still does not change our short term bearish outlook on sugar.
We'd like to focus today on the U.S. 30-year bond futures contract (DEC12). After the employment number, the bonds initially sold off almost 1 point, but now are clawing back some of their losses. 151 is our key resistance level, and we have our key multi-month pivot at right above 148'16. If the non-farm payrolls reports start the first quarter of 2013 with a bang, we could see the bonds breach this key pivot level to the downside. Our next support level comes in at around 146'24. The next major support level is 145. It seems like everyone is always looking for the big bear market for treasury bonds, so our outlook is tempered by the Fed's involvement in this market. However, sometimes the markets move sharply when the least amount of people expect it.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton's split with President Barack Obama over a foreign policy "organizing principle" isn't likely to be the last time differences emerge between the two. How she handles those breaks could be among her biggest challenges to a successful run for president in 2016.
While Obama and Clinton share similar views in many areas, the former first lady's interview with The Atlantic offered her most significant break with her onetime campaign rival.
She said Obama's "failure" to back the rebels in Syria led to the rise of Islamic State militants in Iraq. She appeared dismissive of Obama's approach to foreign policy, saying "'Don't do stupid stuff' is not an organizing principle."
Clinton will likely seek some separation from Obama if she runs for president — especially if Obama's approval ratings stay near 40 percent. But decoupling from a two-term president of your own party can be tricky.
Republican Sen. John McCain was weighed down by President George W. Bush's poor approval ratings in 2008 and Democrats' contention that electing McCain was tantamount to a third Bush term. In 2000, many Democrats urged Vice President Al Gore to campaign more emphatically on President Bill Clinton's economic success instead of distancing himself from the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
A few areas where Obama and Clinton's views will be closely watched as 2016 approaches:
How Obama handles a series of foreign crises — Iraq, Gaza, Ukraine and Syria — could directly influence a future Clinton campaign.
The president's decision to launch airstrikes in Iraq comes only two years after he campaigned for re-election on a record that included ending the Iraq war.
In her book "Hard Choices," Clinton wrote that she "came to deeply regret" her vote to authorize the war, a decision that Obama used as a foil in the 2008 campaign. Clinton has not yet commented publicly on Obama's latest moves in Iraq.
The book includes instances in which she and Obama shared divergent views. In Egypt, she wrote that she was concerned about the U.S. being seen as pushing out a long-term partner in Hosni Mubarak without a clear picture of the region's future.
But Republicans say Clinton will be hard-pressed to draw such distinctions, since she was an integral member of his team as secretary of State.
"It's certainly hard to see how she doesn't own the foreign policy record of this administration," said GOP strategist Ralph Reed.
Clinton often talks about the challenges faced by many Americans who haven't benefited from the economic recovery. Obama has presided over steady job growth during the past six months but it remains to be seen whether Clinton could run on an economic comeback story.
In a July interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel, Clinton said the research of economist Thomas Piketty showed that income inequality is "threatening to democracy."
"Even during the Great Depression people in the streets believed that they could make it and they would be better off. Now the relative wealth is much higher, but the disparity makes people believe that they're stuck," said Clinton, who has pointed to her husband's economic record as a model.
Clinton has kept a close line with Obama on immigration — both on the need for a comprehensive overhaul and the influx of unaccompanied minors from Central America across the U.S.-Mexican border.
Clinton said last month she supported creating a refugee screening process for the children in their home countries to discourage the dangerous journeys to the U.S., an approach that is similar to a pilot program under consideration by the White House.
Obama is expected to announce executive actions to address immigration, which could include a plan to give work permits to millions of immigrants living in the country illegally.
Clinton told college students in March she hopes for a "mass movement" on climate change, signaling the issue could figure prominently in a campaign.
Obama plans to attend a United Nations summit on climate change next month and speak at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting, where one session is titled "Confronting Climate Change is Good Economics."
Environmentalists are awaiting a decision by Obama on the Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry oil in western Canada to refineries on the Gulf Coast. Environmentalists oppose the pipeline, and Obama has said he would allow it to be built only if it doesn't exacerbate carbon pollution.
Clinton has avoided directly commenting on the project, citing the ongoing review.

Yankees' Long-Forgotten Mascot
The biggest bust in Yankees history was 7 feet tall, made $40 every home game and spent most of his brief career in the upper deck.
From 1979 to 1981, the Yankees employed a mascot named Dandy. He was big and blue and a spectacular failure—a historical oddity for a proud franchise that has collected 27 world championships but would just as soon forget he even existed. Which, to be fair, isn't terribly difficult to do.

NHIAA Boys' Basketball Preview: Top dogs still have lots of biteBy ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 12. 2013 9:59PM
Players to WatchDivision I: Sr. G Cam Meservy (Bedford); Sr. G Rich Ruffin (Winnacunnet); Sr. G Jordan Lates (Nashua North), Jr. G Michael Felix (Salem); Sr. F Carmen Giampetruzzi (Trinity); Jr. F Wenyen Gabriel (Trinity); Jr. G Brett Hanson (Central); Sr. F John Martin (Central); Sr. G Eric Gendron (Merrimack); Sr. C Max Medley (Exeter); Jr. G/F Kobongo Ngalakulondi (Memorial); Sr. F Tyler Brown (Alvirne).
Division II: Jr. G Jourdain Bell (Bishop Brady); Sr. G Nick Lazar (Oyster River); Sr. G Jake Vaiknoras (Pelham); Soph. G Kevin Brown (Pelham); Sr. G Colin Sullivan (Plymouth); Sr. G Pat Welch (Pembroke); Jr. F Dominic Timbas (Pembroke); Sr. G Dominick Morrill (Lebanon); Sr. F Andrew Lowman (Windham); Sr. F Pat Glynn (Portsmouth).
Division III: Sr. G Robert O'Brien (Conant); Sr. F Eli Hodgson (Conant); Sr. G Kyle Carland (Conant); Jr. G/F Andrew Houde (Newport); Sr. F Zach Bergeron (Campbell); Jr. G Jared Stauffeneker (Mascenic).
Division IV: Sr. G Jimmy Stanley (Epping); Sr. C Roger Larrivee (Derryfield); Sr. F Max Anderson (Derryfield); Soph. G Issaiah Chappell (Sunapee); Jr. G Jordan Litts (Wilton-Lyndeborough); Sr. F James Fitzgerald (Sunapee); Sr. G Chris Perkins (Pittsfield); Fr. G Xenthios Cyr (Pittsfield); Sr. G. Bailey Johnson (Profile); Jr. G Jeremiah Boulter (Concord Christian).
Familiar faces, new places b>
The following players are among those who played for an NHIAA school last season, but have since transferred: Senior G Tim Preston (Nashua South to Lawrence Academy, Groton, Mass.); Sr. G Chad Knighton (Lisbon to Holderness); Jr. G Luke Testa (Pinkerton Academy to Trinity); Sr. C Robert Wilson (Londonderry to Pembroke); Sr. guard Adam Presutti (Merrimack Valley to Pembroke).
You don't have to look hard to find the NHIAA boys' basketball favorites in each division this season. In most cases, the school that won it all last March is the team to beat in 2013-14 as well.
That's the situation in Divisions I, II and III, where Trinity of Manchester (Division I), Pembroke Academy (Division II) and Conant of Jaffrey (Division III) all appear to have the necessary pieces to win a second championship in as many years.
With Lisbon, last season's Division IV champion, in rebuilding mode, the Derryfield School of Manchester looks like the favorite in Division IV. Derryfield lost to Lisbon in last year's title game.
Plenty can change between now and tournament time, but these are the teams that will likely battle to be No. 1 in each division during the coming months:
Division I
A Trinity-Manchester Central parlay might be a wise investment, since Division I looks like a two-team race between the Pioneers and the Little Green.
Trinity isn't short on talent or experience. The Pioneers have two of the top players in the division in senior forward Carmen Giampetruzzi and junior forward Wenyen Gabriel. Gabriel is almost fully recovered from a fractured tibia.
There's also experience in the backcourt with seniors Patrick Keefe, Ryan Otis and Brad Rhoades. The Pioneers also added junior guard Luke Testa, a transfer from Pinkerton Academy in Derry.
"We have a nice corps coming back," Trinity coach Dave Keefe (Patrick's father) said. "They can all get up and down the floor, but Central is the most talented and deepest team in the state."
Central returns four starters from a team that went 16-4 last season. The returnees include senior Dawson Dickson, a three-year starter at point guard; and junior guard Brett Hanson, who could be one of the top scorers in the state.
The Little Green also added 6-foot-4 senior forward John Martin, a transfer who lived in Florida last year. Central coach Doc Wheeler said Martin has a chance to be one of the better players in the league.
"We didn't finish the way we wanted to last year," Wheeler said. "We expect to be better than we were last year."
Bedford, Bishop Guertin of Nashua, Exeter, Londonderry, Manchester Memorial, Merrimack and Winnacunnet of Hampton are among the teams that could finish in the top eight.
Division II
The Division II championship looks like it's Pembroke's to lose. At least that's how many opposing coaches see it.
The Spartans went unbeaten last season and return one of the state's top players in senior guard Pat Welch, who averaged 22.8 points per game as a junior. Other returnees include senior forward Kafani Williams, 6-foot-5 forward Dominic Timbas and 6-foot-4 forward Cameron Taylor. Pembroke also added three transfers who are all at least 6-foot-7, two of whom are waiting to hear about their eligibility.
"I don't know why they wouldn't be eligible," Pembroke coach Matt Alosa said. "They'll make us deeper, make us a better team."
Lebanon, Pelham, Plymouth and Portsmouth are among the teams in the next tier below Pembroke.
"It seems like the target is always on our back," Alosa said. "It's always a big game when you play Pembroke."
Division III
Conant won the program's 10th title — and sixth in the last eight years — last season, and the Orioles will have an excellent chance to collect title No. 11 this winter.
Conant will rely on guards Robert O'Brien and Kyle Carland, and forward Eli Hodgson. All three were starters on the team that beat Campbell of Litchfield in last season's Division III championship game. NIck Panagiotes, the first player off the Conant bench last season, is also back.
"If we want to reach our goals this year we are going to have to commit to defense and rebounding," Conant coach Eric Saucier said. "We are quick and fast, but after Eli are not big."
Newport is another team to keep an eye on this season. The Tigers won a program-record 21 games last season and return shooting guard Andrew Houde, who averaged 22.2 points per game last season.
"I think the top four teams in Division III this year will be Berlin, Conant, Newport and Hopkinton," Saucier said. "Somersworth and Campbell are always good and should be right in the mix."
Division IV
Derryfield returns six players, including four starters, from last season's runner-up team. The returning starters are 6-foot-7 center Roger Larrivee (9.5 ppg), guard/forward Bennett Doherty (8.1 ppg), shooting guard Tyler Zorn (9.6 ppg) and 6-foot-4 forward Max Anderson (9.7 ppg). All four are seniors.
"I think we have the potential to be pretty good," Derryfield coach Rob Bradley said. "You still have to play the games and get it done."
Derryfield has reached the Class S/Division IV semifinals in each of the last four years, and advanced to the championship game twice during that span. The Cougars lost to Lisbon in both of those championship-game appearances.
"You have to play the season out and you have to stay healthy," Bradley said. "There are a lot of good teams out there."
Epping and Sunapee are among those good teams. The Blue Devils have a new coach in Sean Young, but also have one of the top players in the division in senior guard Jimmy Stanley. Sunapee returned four starters from a team that was seeded No. 10 in last year's tournament and lost to Epping in the first round.
"Derryfield is clearly the favorite," Newmarket coach Jamie Hayes said. "They return a ton of size and experience. The next group is Colebrook, Littleton, Sunapee and Epping.

Financials: Mar. Bonds are currently 6 higher at 146'07 and the 10-Year Note 3.5 higher at 132'12. The market awaits an interim approval for an extension of the debt ceiling through May 18. For the near-term I still want to look at the bonds as a trading affair. That being said, I am going to raise both support and resistance a bit, but maintain my overall negative bias. Support is now 144'24 and resistance 147'04. The 200-day moving average for a lead month contract remains at the 148'00 level. I mention this statistic as it is one of the indicators that is watched by fund managers as an indication of trend.
Grains: Mar. Corn is currently about steady at 728'6, Mar. Beans fractionally lower at 1451'0, Mar. Wheat unchanged at 779'2 and Dec. Wheat steady at 817'6. Continue to treat Mar. Corn as a trading affair between 712'0 and 740'0. As I have mentioned in the last few reports, you might consider buying a call spread in Dec. Wheat for a long-term trade. Currently the 900'0/950'0 call spread is trading for about 12'0 and the 900'0/1000'0 call spread is trading at about 21'0.
Cattle: Apr. LC is currently 10 lower at 130.375 and Mar. FC 12 lower at 146.875. As mentioned in the last few letters, producers who have on short futures positions as hedges, might consider buying out of the money calls and/or call spreads against their short futures to protect themselves from price advances. Speculatively speaking, these markets appear to be trying to make a bottom and I am looking at breaks as buying opportunities with protective sell stops 25-50 points below recent lows of 129.350 in Apr. LC and 144.425 in Mar. FC.
Silver: Mar. Silver is currently $0.16 higher at $32.35 and Feb. Gold about steady at $1,693.00. Tomorrow I will start quoting Apr. Gold as we are nearing first notice day for the Feb. contract.
S&Ps: Mar. S&Ps are currently 3.00 lower at 1486.50. Yesterday the market ran up late in the session after the release of positive earnings for Google, Apple, etc., resulting in a new contract high of 1490.50. My bias remains negative and I am lightly short (meaning I am positioning with fewer contracts than my usual unit. Support is currently 1468.00 and resistance at the overnight contract high of 1490.50.
Currencies: As of this writing the Mar. Euro is trading 16 higher at 1.3340, the Swiss 3 lower at 1.0765, the Yen 25 higher at 1.1298 and the Pound 40 higher at 1.5881. If you remain short the Euro either cover your position or continue to use a protective buy stop at 1.3365.

Junior Lake, Professional Enigma and Other Bullets
Anyone else wish we could have seen Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer take each other on at the same age? Those five years make a huge difference.
- John Sickels describes Junior Lake, as a prospect, about as well as anyone in a recent write-up. Among his thoughts on Lake: "If you see Junior Lake on the right day, he looks like one of the best players in the world. He'll blister a long home run, or he'll make a spectacular defensive play, or he'll show off a tremendously good throwing arm, or he'll steal a critical base. If you see Junior Lake on the wrong day, he'll look like one of the most confused, helpless players in the world …. Lake's tools are simply excellent, especially his throwing arm. He's made improvements around the edges and flashes intriguing baseball skills, but he's not consistent about it and is still frequently frustrating." This is why the Cubs will hold out on Lake as long as possible, and why they're trying to increase his positional versatility. They don't want him squeezed out, only to see him finally have it "click" with another organization. He doesn't turn 23 until the end of March.
- The Rangers have signed Jeff Baker, who had to settle for a minor league deal. It's a bit surprising, given his versatility and solid numbers against lefties, but he sure did struggle in Detroit and Atlanta after departed from the Cubs in August, and had a down 2011, too. Baker chose a crowded roster to try and make, but it's obviously a good team.
- Cubs pitching prospect Dallas Beeler talks about recovering from Tommy John surgery (which he had in 2009), and notes that he's given pointers to prospect Robert Whitenack, who had his first year back from TJS last season.
- Phil Rogers, like Ken Rosenthal before him, doesn't see MLB allowing the Mets to keep their first rounder (11th overall) if they sign Michael Bourn (they'd be making a thin argument that the top ten worst teams are supposed to have their picks protected, which would include the Mets … even though the explicit language of the CBA says top ten picks). Gotta think Scott Boras is getting pretty desperate to put together a multi-team market for Bourn.
- Darwin Barney was honored as CSN's Cubs Player of the Year.

Last week, Electronic Arts CFO Blake Jorgensen supposedly announced that all future EA games would feature micro-transactions but today at the Wedbush Technology Conference in New York City, he reiterated his statement: "the community read that to mean all our games and that's really not true."
According to the previously mentioned technology conference, EA is excited to continue working on the popular franchises they produce including new sports franchises. Of course mingered in this cluster of sports titles, Electronic Arts wants to bring out a new property that they aquired from THQ before the online auction of the companies assets: UFC.
It's not correcting the media when you change your mind after a backlash.
Just for once admit that you overestimated the consumers tolerance for fleecing.
I was just commenting on the power of the gamer community, when casual people buy microtransaction items and gamers complain in silence.....we get our pockets milked.
At least EA stepped up a responded to the backlash fairly quickly.
Companies that want to replace gameplay with cash need to die. Time was those 'extras' like the big truck, the better gun were rewards for playing well, discovering items in the game you just paid $60 for!!
What next charging us to be able to CONTROL our characters (instead of loads of QTE and CUTSCENES)... seems most games are going that way with over use of QTE/CUTSCENES already(just no actual fleecing us for the interaction part - yet)
They wont be happy until they are making pure movies, and we just sit back and pay pay pay to be allowed to 'watch' a frustrated Hollywood wannabe's vision. They should be paying us!

|NewsUSA) – As the tough economy puts pressure on Americans, many might find themselves wrestling with new emotional issues. For example, many workers, whether unemployed, worried over their job or struggling to make ends meet, will find themselves suffering from depression.
Depression can be caused by events or be associated with part of a larger illness. Symptoms can include chronic fatigue, anxiety, a loss of interest in regular activities, perpetual feelings of sadness and worthlessness, an inability to concentrate, changes in eating or sleeping habits, and a preoccupation with death. Anyone who experiences symptoms of depression should seek out a medical professional to discuss their symptoms and possible treatment options.
In relationships, when one partner experiences depression, the relationship can suffer. A depressed spouse may feel too tired and overwhelmed to carry out regular activities, ranging from household duties to dinner dates. Intimacy can decrease as well. Depression can lower sex drive, as can SSRIs, a class of anti-depressant drugs that include Zoloft, Prozac, Celexa and Paxil.
Depression does not make intimacy any less important to a healthy relationship. The emotionally healthy partner can feel neglected, while a lack of sex can increase the depressed spouse's feelings of isolation and alienation.
Depression can make couples find new ways to create intimacy. For example, some couples will use all-natural sex enhancement products, like Magic Power Coffee (www.magicpowercoffee.com). The beverage contains herbs proven to increase desire in both men and women. Other couples find that scheduling date nights or experimenting in bed leads to greater satisfaction for both partners.
Sometimes, switching to another anti-depressant or changing a dosage can help ease sexual side effects. If patients experience sexual side effects during treatment for their depression, they should discuss treatment options with their doctors.

Plywood Made Good: 10 Ways to Save Walls with an Inexpensive Material
I must google the term "affordable art" about ten times a month because I'm always looking for ways to fill large, blank walls at home. The second I rearrange furniture, gaping holes of space open up and visually demand to be filled. Today I went searching for plywood projects because I'm headed to the hardware store anyway, and thought I'd whip up another project on the side. As ideas, these DIYs range from artwork and wall hangings, to ways to add texture to your walls.
1. Simple lines made with a marker and ruler transform plywood into a stylish backdrop for your sofa, via Scandinavian Deko.
2. Bambula leaned simple solid panels up against a wall and got a pop of color blocking.
3. After $10 for wood and $5 for test jars of paint, the Devil's Punchbowl came up with this great geometric painting.
4. We've featured this wall hanging from Home Depot before, but it bears repeating.
5. Alice's modern bookshelf looks simple to make and adds a nice amount of storage.
6. More Scandinavian inspiration, this time as a frame of sorts for a collage of artwork. Also from Scandinavia Deko.
7. Basic painted shapes on ply, like this large red egg by Emma at Thom Haus Handmade, makes a graphic statement.
8. Anna spied this plywood board in a house for sale, as styled by Sarah Widman. With a couple of nails and clips, you too could have a real-life Pinterest board.
9. There's no reason why this plywood room divider, created for Blogshop LA, needs to remain a photobooth. I say it belongs on a wall or as a headboard.
10. These plywood squares make for an interesting backdrop, courtesy of Lowe's.

Manchester officials nab five illegal taxis in sting operationBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 08. 2013 10:55PM
MANCHESTER - With most taxis grounded over maintenance issues, city police and licensing officials nabbed five gypsy or otherwise illegal cabs Friday in a sting operation, officials said.
The culprits included an airport limousine service and a young woman who used her personal car as a taxi, said Kevin Kincaid, director of licensing and enforcement for the city Clerk's Office.
As part of the sting, police used websites such as Craigslist and telephone searches to find a cab.
"They called the numbers, people showed up," he said. "If we're going to crack down on the licensed ones, we should crack down on the unlicensed ones, too."
But the owner of Amoskeag Airport Service said he was doing nothing wrong and has hired a lawyer to fight the $200 citation he received, as well as regain the Honda Accord that authorities confiscated.
Gerry Mendelbaum, owner of Amoskeag Airport Service, said his limousine company is licensed through the U.S. Transportation Department and operates legitimately. He said his company continued to handle fares in Manchester on Monday. He called city taxi ordinances outdated.
"I think they (city officials) purposely inspected the cabs on the week they wanted to sting unlicensed car services because the need would be there," Mendelbaum said.
Last week, authorities held a surprise inspection of all taxis operating out of the city's two licensed cab companies, Queen City Taxi and Manchester Taxi Dispatch. All taxis in the city were grounded for about a day.
The companies made repairs and are still restoring their fleet.
On Monday morning, Kincaid said Queen City had seven cabs licensed and on the road; Manchester Dispatch had four. Each company expected to add an additional two cabs by Tuesday.
Kincaid said the sting operation involved police calling from hotels or the Mall of New Hampshire. Once a plain-clothes officer entered the cab, a police cruiser pulled it over and the drivers were ticketed.
Two of the three citations involved repeat offenders, Kincaid said.
Two warnings were issued, one to a woman in her 20s who was using her Kia as a taxi.
Such gypsy cabs lack the proper insurance and protections such as random drug testing of drivers, background checks, vehicle inspection and a safety barrier between the driver and the back seat, he said.
"That's crazy," Kincaid said. Police gave the young woman a "fatherly lecture," he said.
The three citations went to:
--Nicholas Meuse, 27, who was driving an Amoskeag Airport Service car.
--David Karpetya, 44, who was driving a DK Airport Service car.
--Richard Fillion, 52, a Maine resident who was using his pickup truck for fares.
Kincaid said the operators charged fares outside the city's regulated rates. One wanted $40 for a ride from the mall to downtown Manchester, another charged $15 for the same trip.
He said Mendelbaum operated a taxi company, Town and Country Taxi, which surrendered its license in 2011 after Mendelbaum did not provide proof of workers compensation insurance.
Mendelbaum said he has been in business since 1994, and the DOT license grants him rights to operate both in-state and interstate.
He said the one difference between his business and the taxi business is that passengers can't hail his cabs from a street; they have to be ordered by telephone.
Kincaid said the DOT license only applies to transportation between states, and Amoskeag Airport needs a taxi medallion if it is going to operate within the city.
State law defines a taxi cab as a vehicle that holds seven or fewer persons, and is used "in the call and demand transportation of passengers" from one location to another, as determined by the customer. They do not operate on a fixed schedule or between fixed locations.

We work fully in-house in London and the UK, it is an ethical working environment and all employees are treated with respect and love! Our materials are sourced from the former Soviet countries and reach our studio by car each season, reducing our carbon emissions.

Founded in 2010 by artist Iulia Filipovscaia, and inspired by her mother, an avid master-knitter, LANA is short for Svetlana and SIBERIE (Siberia) is where the family are from. Since its debut collection of 12 unique crochet-knit pieces, LANA SIBERIE has continued to make custom-made orders ranging from gloves to wedding dresses. 2013 saw its first ready-to-wear line with cutting-edge knitwear marrying organic texture patterns with contemporary culture and easy, unfurnished styles with high quality yarn compositions.
Lana Siberie's 'KANNON' collection for SS16 is inspired by the old tradition of dowry and the women who sat spinning yarns for clothing and sheets. An East Asian deity of mercy, Kannon is the great Mother Goddess who is portrayed as a young woman donned in a flowing white robe and stands to act as the symbol for Siberie's offering of handwoven pieces. Reinterpreted to create contemporary garments, the collection is made from ethnographic, antique yarns, fabrics, lace and embroidered materials that embrace the beauty of century-old handcraft. Focusing on three key areas for this season: Planet, Symbolism and History, Siberie has created a collection of wearable linen mantles, vintage plush towelling dresses and kimono-style gowns crafted from sustainably-sourced, reclaimed fabrics alongside Rushnyk ritual cloths embroidered with symbols of the ancient world.

I would say so.acinteyyo wrote:I know that "something which depends on something" is a sankhāra, because it's an sankhatā dhamma. So since viññāna depends on nāma-rūpa and nāma-rūpa depends on viññāna, they're both sankhatā dhammā, so one could also say instead of going back to nāma-rūpa from viññāna that it all depends on sankhārā, which finally depends on avijja. But I'm in doubt about that... Is this how it could be understood?
As someone pointed out in the other topic, that aspect is just not the specific focus of that individual teaching. Just because part of the Dhamma is not included in any one particular Dhamma talk or sutta, does not make it false. If everything was in a single sutta, that's all we'd need.

MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. -- A group of activists gathered Wednesday in front of Assemblyman David Buchwald's Mount Kisco district office building to support the labeling of genetically modified organism, GMO, food.
The rally, which included chanting and signs, came less than a day after Buchwald, D-Westchester, came out in support of a state bill that will require labeling. The bill is set to be voted on by an Assembly committee.
Although Buchwald was not at the rally due to a scheduling issue, a statement of his support was handed out by Daniel Weisfield, his chief of staff and press secretary.
Announcing his support, Buchwald stated, "I am pleased to announce that following discussions with Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal, D-Manhattan, the sponsor of the bill, we have agreed on an amendment that encourages a federal labeling law. With inclusion of that amendment, I will be voting in favor of the GMO labeling bill when it comes to a vote in the Consumer Affairs and Protection Committee. I want to thank all of my constituents who shared their views with me and helped make progress on this issue."
Buchwald voted against a labeling bill last year. However, it was because it was introduced on a Friday and scheduled for a Monday vote, explained Michael Hansen, a senior scientist with Yonkers-based Consumers Union. Hansen, who is one of the labeling supporters, also talked about how Buchwald had concerns but that they were met.
Activists were pleased with Buchwald's support.
"Very happy," stated Stacie Orell, a campaign director for the group GMO Free NY.
"We're thrilled about it," said John Ubaldo of Pound Ridge's John Boys Farm, who was among the folks present.
Alex Beauchamp, who is with the group Food & Water Watch and among those present at the rally, felt that with Buchwald's support there are likely enough votes to move the legislation out of committee.
Buchwald represents the 93rd district, which includes Mount Kisco, New Castle, Bedford, Pound Ridge, Lewisboro, North Salem, North Castle, Harrison and part of White Plains.
The bill's number is A03525B and its text is available on the assembly's website.

The scientific method revolutionized the world of truth-seeking. Yet journalism - which, like science, seeks truth - is far less rigorous. We'll walk through why this gap has led to record levels of distrust in journalism, and why journalism that's replicable, trackable, and reviewable can help to restore that trust.
To be clear, journalism isn't science. It's got tight deadlines and other limits on its ability to gather evidence, no peer review, and often, very little that resembles methodology. But online tools and new reporting techniques are enabling journalists to be much more scientific in their methods.
From the rise of database journalism, which adds empirical rigor to narrative journalism's fog of anecdotes, to the emergence of accountability projects that permit tracking and peer review over time, we'll outline a system of news that can help us better discern the truth amid a rising onslaught of information. We'll focus our session on identifying solutions and painting a vivid and inspiring picture of what journalism can become.

Vogue Patterns - Spring 2012 Collection2:27 PM
22 comments
The first one caught my brown eye...(maybe it's the left one or the right one,not sure). Anyhow, trying to figure if the fabrics are from Vogue Fabrics (the patterns co. has a partnership with the Midwest fabric store). Not sure.ReplyDelete
oh, wow. joann fabrics has a vogue pattern sale up here, too- $3.99:)ReplyDelete
V1286 is great but I feel like they should include cup size when it's that low cut.ReplyDelete
The Donna Karans and DKNY (V1287) look good-- I'll probably get the V1282 slinky separates first, too. But I was sorry to see no Vena Cava.ReplyDelete
Love them all! Especially the DK Collection 1280 and 1282. I can't wait to see how you style the 1296 - Bellville Sassoon jacket!ReplyDelete
And THANKS for "what I'm wearing"! Some mornings I just stand in my closet without a clue as to what to wear. Then I think about how you styled something and VOILA inspiration. ;-)
Like..... Fresh fun and flirty!ReplyDelete
It's been so long since Vogue gave me a buzz, I'm in shock over the 1288 - Badgley Mischka Platinum. Gorgeous. The rest are too young for me, and the Bellville Sasson is just trying too hard. (Sort of Cruella Deville summers in Deauville.)ReplyDelete
I'm really enjoying your posts on how you're putting all these clothes to good use. For months I've wondered whether you ever wore anything twice, given your prodigious output. And I think there's a lot of be learned about the longevity of making good style and fabric choices from the get-go.
Also, major congrats on the new addition to your clan!
I love the collection...I bought 15 patterns today from the spring 2012 collection.ReplyDelete
Hi Erica,ReplyDelete
I've been following your blog since your crochet days! I think this will be my first comment, yikes!
I'm considering making V1289, and I already have some satin-back crepe in my stash. My question is, do you have any suggestion for a less expensive alternative to the hair canvas interfacing?

This is a classic French recipe for Clafoutis or Clafouti (kla-foo-tee) a simple, baked, custardy, crepe-like dessert made with eggs and cherries. The leftovers serve as an incredibly special breakfast treat the next morning. Or vice versa.
Traditionally the pits are left in the cherries for the almond flavor they add. I opted to take them out for convenience… Instead toasting up sliced almonds to sprinkle over top.
Take advantage of all cherry season has to offer by making this! It's sinfully easy aside from pitting the cherries. The batter is mixed in a blender, poured into a buttered cast-iron skillet or baking pan where the cherries and almonds are spread over top. It bakes up like a giant puffy pancake and deflates slightly as it cools. The aroma is thoroughly enticing and family members will be sure to ask "is it done yet?" Then sigh in anticipation.
The clafoutis is soft like pudding when warm and reminiscent of custard pie when cold. It straddles the border between sweet and savory. It's rich, dense, creamy and just plain gorgeous studded with the succulence of fresh, ripe, black cherry gems. My family raved over it and I'm sure yours will too!
Cherry Almond Clafoutis
(adapted from Saveur)
1/3 cup Sliced Almonds
1 tablespoon Butter
1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
6 Eggs
6 tablespoon Sugar
1 + 1⁄4 cups Milk
2 tablespoon Kirsch (optional, I omitted)
Pinch Salt
3⁄4 cup All-purpose or King Arthur White Whole Wheat flour
3 cups black cherries, pitted or unpitted
Confectioners' sugar (optional)
1. Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until they get a golden-brown color to them, tossing often. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 425° and generously butter a 9″ cast-iron skillet or baking dish. Combine vanilla extract, eggs, sugar, milk, kirsch, and salt in a blender. Blend for a few seconds to mix ingredients, then add flour and blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
3. Pour batter into buttered skillet and evenly spread cherries over top then sprinkle with almonds. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from center. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Dust with confectioners' sugar and a dollop of whip cream if desired.
Serves 8: 287 calories per serving without the kirsch or confectioners' sugar
Weight Watchers Points: 6 per serving

Zen Mosaic locks when connected
I hope that someone will be able to help - my journey to work is very boring without my Zen! It has worked very well for about a year until this week.
I have a problem when connecting my Zen Mosaic to the PC. The player is recognised and appears in my list of drives. However, as soon as I try to transfer an MP3 into the music folder on the player it locks up after about 5 seconds of transfer. The screen freezes and remains frozen with the screen lit even when unplugged from the USB. I have to reboot the Zen using the tiny reset button.
I have tried three different USB cables and two PCs so I am pretty sure it is the player.
Using the advice on this site I have tried the Clean Up tool. As this did not work I have tried to reload the firmware. The issue with the player locking up remains when running the firmware upgrade. I get a couple of blue bars into the upgrade and the player locks up totally.
Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Emmett Mueller of the Phillies and Ernie Koy of Brooklyn each hit home runs in their first Major League at-bats in the first inning of a 12-5 Brooklyn victory, the last season opener at Baker Bowl. The Phillies move to Shibe Park in July.
April 13, 1955
Robin Roberts loses a no-hitter at Connie Mack Stadium when Alvin Dark singles with one out in the ninth inning. Robbie prevails, 4-2, over the Giants. Richie Ashburn, injured late in Spring Training, sees his club-record, consecutive-game-playing streak end at 730 games.

I'm Taking a Needed Break
Last time I took a break it only lasted for one week. Who knows how long this one will be? I'll still listen in, but I'm burned out right now. Stay tuned for what the other members will post. I'll be back. So as a last thought for a while let me leave you with how I see our differences:
Christians and I reject all other religions. I simply reject their Christian religion with the same confidence they have when rejecting all other religions. The rejection of a religious viewpoint is the easy part. We all do it. And we're all confident when doing so. The hard part after the rejection is to affirm a religious viewpoint. That's where a person must argue that he has the correct one. And from what I see, Christians are just as confident that they are right as that the others are wrong, unlike me. I think the default position is soft-agnosticism, which simply says, "I don't know." That's right, I don't know what to believe after rejecting all religious viewpoints. I could even happily concede that there is a God, a deist god, a philosopher's god. But such a distant god is no different than none at all. Think about it. That's why I've chosen to be an atheist, since it makes no difference to me even if a god does exist. But I could be wrong, and I admit it.
Christians on the other hand seem absolutely confident that they are correct in what they affirm, and that's a huge difference between us. Given the proliferation of religious viewpoints separated by geographical location around the globe, the fact that believers have a strong tendency to rationally support what they were taught to believe (before they had the knowledge or capability to properly evaluate it), along with the lack of compelling evidence to convince people who are outsiders to the Christian faith, mine is the reasonable viewpoint to affirm, that's all.

So, a couple of weeks ago I wrote a blog post here on sqlmag.com called "Some Storage Vendors Just Don't Have a Clue About Databases" where I may have mentioned that there was an EMC whitepaper written by the Data Domain team that talked about SQL Server databases, and the whitepaper was just awful.
Well, apparently the folks at EMC noticed the blog post, and took action. Normally one would expect a huge company to not take kindly to someone telling them they don't know something. However, EMC wasn't like this at all.
A friend of mine named Mark Twomey (@Storagezilla | blog) at EMC passed my blog post and the white paper over to Chuck Defresne who is the manager for Data Domain and Backup and Recovery at EMC. Chuck was able to get the white paper in front of James Baldwin who is the manager for Microsoft Solutions at EMC, who was able to review and more importantly fix the whitepaper and get it republished with the correct information.
So without further delay, I am pleased to present to you EMC's whitepaper on SQL Server Data and Data Domain titled "Backup and Recovery for Microsoft SQL Server Using EMC Data Domain Deduplication Storage Systems" with the useless recommendations removed.
If you are in a Data Domain shop, this whitepaper is going to be worth a read.

Kuster responds to critics of budget deal's impact on vets' pensionsBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 16. 2013 8:39PM
CONCORD — U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster, D-N.H., said she doesn't like to see a reduction in cost-of-living raises in pensions for military veterans, but it is part of an overall bipartisan House budget that avoids a government shutdown or budget sequestration.
The pension issue arose Monday at New Hampshire Technical Institute, where Kuster hosted a roundtable to discuss progress is reducing the backlog in disability claims for veterans.
Daniel Yoder, adjutant of the New Hampshire American Legion, said most federal workers will get cost-of-living raises, but most veterans receiving pensions will see a reduction in their raise.
"It doesn't seem right to me," said Yoder, whose son is in his fourth tour of duty in Afghanistan and would see his pension raises affected by the bill.
"It was not the best provision," Kuster said about the 1-percentage-point reduction in future cost-of-living raises. She said she also disliked the elimination of extensions of unemployement benefits.
"It was not a perfect bill, but the alternative was significantly worse," Kuster told about a half-dozen representatives of veteran service organizations.
She said the budget will avoid budget sequester or a shutdown. A sequester would mean across-the-board cuts for all veteran and active military programs, she said; a shutdown would cause a backlog in veteran disability claims.
According to the Army Times, the House budget deal would save $85 billion over two years, with $6 billion coming from veteran pensions. One percentage point of the pension adjustment — the most recent raise was 1.7 percent — would be reduced for veterans under the age of 62.
The reduction would be phased in over three years, and disability payments would not be cut.The roundtable was the first forum-like appearance for Kuster since Nov. 25, when she was criticized for saying Libya was not part of the Middle East and would not answer questions about the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi.
Monday's forum featured Veterans Administration officials and leaders of the American Legion, VFW and Disabled American Veterans.
Most discussion centered on the backlog of applications for disability compensation claims. The House has passed a Kuster-sponsored bill to encourage automation to eliminate the backlogs. Kuster said her bill is now in the Senate.
In New Hampshire, the backlog is insignificant, VA officials said. Some 2,800 claims were filed in New Hampshire last year, but 4,000 decisions were made. Bradley Mayes, regional director of Veterans Benefit Administration, said the New Hampshire office is so efficient that it handled 900 claims from Massachusetts last year. This year, it is working on backlogs in Ohio.
"This is a recent change, and we need to make sure it's heading in the right direction," Kuster said.
Meanwhile, several participants said veterans are resisting filing claims related to mental or behavioral problems.
American Legion commander John Barrett said that's especially a problem for veterans who want to go into police work.
They don't want to be labeled as have problems with post-traumatic stress disorder.

The XFree86 configuration file is usually found in
This section describes the parts which must be specially set for
the DRI.
First, the XF86Config file must load the GLX and DRI modules:
Section "Module" ... # This loads the GLX module Load "glx" # This loads the DRI module Load "dri" EndSection
Next, the DRI section can be used to restrict access to direct rendering.
If you want all of the users on your system to be able to use direct-rendering, then use a simple DRI section:
Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection
This section will allow any user with a current connection to the X server to use direct rendering.
If you want to restrict the use of direct-rendering to a
certain group of users, then create a group for those users by
editing the
/etc/group file on your system.
For example, you may want to create a group called
and place two users (e.g.,
fred and
jane) in
that group.
To do that, you might add the following line to
xf86dri:x:8000:fred,janeYou have to be careful that the group id (8000 in this example) is unique.
Then you would use the following DRI section:
Section "DRI" Group "xf86dri" Mode 0660 EndSectionThis would limit access to direct-rendering to those users in the
xf86dri group (
fred and
jane in this
example). When other users tried to use direct rendering, they
would fall back to unaccelerated indirect rendering.
[Note that there is a known bug in XFree86 4.0 that prevents some
changes to the DRI section from taking effect. Until this bug is
fixed, if you change the DRI section, please also remove the
/dev/dri directory with the
rm -rf /dev/dri
Finally, the XF86Config file needs
Device and
Screen sections specific to your hardware.
Look in section 10: Hardware-Specific Information and
Troubleshooting for details.

It is possible that the main title of the report Laband Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Laband syndrome, also known as Zimmerman-Laband syndrome, is an extremely rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities of the head and facial (craniofacial) area and the hands and feet. Most children with this disorder have abnormally large gums (gingival fibromatosis). Overgrown gums may affect the ability to chew, swallow, and/or speak. In addition, affected infants may exhibit abnormally long, thin fingers and toes and/or deformed (dysplastic) or absent nails at birth. In some cases, mental retardation may also be present. In most cases, Laband syndrome is believed to be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. However, evidence of autosomal recessive inheritance has also been reported.

DOVER, N.H. (AP) — The photograph of a beaming Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott was taken on Mother's Day 2011, a frog she rescued from the family's pool cupped in her hand. A year and a half later, Seth Mazzaglia raped her, killed her and threw her body in a river after she rebuffed his sexual advances.
Mazzaglia was sentenced Thursday to life in prison without chance of parole after more than a dozen of Marriott's family members and friends tearfully and angrily lamented what he took from them.
Her father, Robert Marriott, walked around the courtroom holding aloft an enlarged version of his daughter's picture for all to see, a smaller version of which was used at trial. Marriott said it underscored the melancholy he felt that such a joyful memory became part of the legacy of a "horrible" trial.
"I wish that good would triumph over evil, but you are proof beyond any doubt how untrue that is," Bob Marriott told Mazzaglia.
Some family members replayed the agonizing months and hours since Marriott's disappearance, while others recalled the quality of her life before she was killed on Oct. 9, 2012, at age 19.
The aspiring marine biologist from Westborough, Massachusetts, had started her sophomore year at the University of New Hampshire only five weeks earlier. She had befriended Mazzaglia's girlfriend, Kathryn McDonough, at a local department store where they both worked. McDonough, the key witness at trial, testified that Mazzaglia, 31, demanded she lure Marriott to their apartment as a sexual offering for her domineering boyfriend.
McDonough said after Marriott twice rejected his sexual advances, Mazzaglia looped a rope over her head from behind and strangled her until she was unconscious. McDonough said he then raped Marriott's motionless body as he yelled expletives at her.
Marriot's mother, Melissa Marriott, told Mazzaglia before the sentence was announced, "I want you to know that I unequivocally hate you."
She continued in a firm voice: "You are a cowardly, despicable person. You stole our smart, vivacious, beautiful daughter from us. You murdered Lizzi, raped her lifeless body and then threw her away because Lizzi had the self-confidence and the self-esteem to say no to you."
An uncle, Tony Hanna, called Mazzaglia "a twisted individual who brought only darkness and pain into this world."
Mazzaglia spoke briefly.
"I did not rape and murder Elizabeth Marriott," he said. "However, I do understand the Marriott family's pain and I did play a part in covering up her death, a mistake I tried to correct when investigators came to me and I showed them exactly where I left Lizzi's body. Unfortunately, they were unable to recover her and for that I am truly sorry. My heart goes out to the Marriot family and I am very sorry for their loss."
During a brief recess before he was sentenced, Mazzaglia's mother, Heather Mazzaglia, asked if she could speak with the Marriotts. She went into a conference room and gave Bob Marriott an extended hug while sobbing. She gave him a folded note and told an Associated Press reporter upon exiting that she told him "only that I'm sorry." She also hugged Elizabeth's brother, Robert Marriott Jr., who went with his father into the room.
Later, clutching a red Bible to her chest, she spoke privately with Melissa Marriott, who would not reveal what was said.
At least eight of the jurors who convicted Mazzaglia also were in attendance.
McDonough initially told investigators that Marriott died while the two women were engaged in consensual rough sex. Granted immunity from prosecution, she later changed her story.
McDonough is serving 1 1/2 to 3 years in prison for hindering prosecution and witness tampering.
Bob Marriott said after court that he has conflicting feelings about McDonough.
"I have a lot of reason to very much dislike her and her involvement in what happened to my daughter," he said. "I also have a lot of sympathy for the situation she was in and what she was put through by that person we just sent to jail."
