Averaging a school-record 73.3 points per game, the Rolling Meadows girls basketball team has proved to be one of the toughest teams in the state this season.
Now the Mustangs (12-0) will compete in one of the toughest Christmas tournaments in the state.
The Montini Christmas Tournament includes a field of four undefeated teams, and a fifth got beat for the first time last week. All are generally regarded among the top 20 in the Chicago area.
The tourney is definitely stacked, said Mustangs first-year coach Ryan Kirkorsky.
The tourney, which runs from Dec. 26-29, expanded to 16 teams this year.
Among the powerhouses are Maine West Tip-Off Classic champion Marian Catholic, Plainfield East, Romeoville, Fremd, Zion-Benton, Batavia, Bogan and the host Broncos.
Broncos coach and tourney director Jason Nichols wants the event to become the girls equal to the prestigious Proviso West boys event.
I know his goal was to have the most competitive holiday tourney in Illinois, and if you look at the teams participating, its pretty stacked like I said earlier, Kirkorsky said. Montini and Marian Catholic are programs with track records and rated so highly because of what theyve done in the past and this season. You have to beat really good teams to win the tournament.
One of those teams is Meadows, whose closest call this season was a 69-64 victory over Fremd in the Turkey Thriller Championship at Lake Zurich High School.
Meadows defeated Fremd by 1 point in overtime for the Mid-Suburban League championship last season.
The Mustangs open the Montini tourney against St. Joseph while coach Dave Yates Vikings (11-2) start out against Proviso West. Yates is hoping sophomore standout Haley Gorecki could be ready to see some action after missing the last three weeks with an ankle injury.
Rolling Meadows is trying for its 13th straight win today at 7:30 p.m. against Prospect.
The biggest thing is how much these kids just want to compete every day, Kirkorsky said. They have goals for the season and they come ready to work toward them at practice every day.
This group is so confident. They believe they are going to win every time they step on the court and I think its a good thing to have that expectation against anyone you play.
The Mustangs will see some different competition in Lombard.
There are a lot of teams in the tourney that play different styles, Kirkorsky said. Were excited to see how we match with some of the top teams.
The Mustangs style is pretty simple get the rebound and go.
Juniors Jackie Kemph (20.1 points, 8.1 assists, 4.3 steals), Alexis Glasgow (17.8 points, 4.0 rebounds) and Jenny Vliet (11.0 points, 7.4 rebounds) lead the way while post players Ashley Montanez (7.9 points, 4.2 rebounds) and Morgan Keller (5.5 points, 4.4 rebounds) pick up the slack inside.
Allie Kemph, Jackies twin, helps spark the defense for a team whose offense is averaging the most points of any Mid-Suburban League squad that observers can recall.
Two weeks ago, Meadows posted a 95-72 victory over Wheaton North, the No. 2 seed in its own tourney behind Glenbrook South.
The most interesting thing is that in that game where we scored our most points, it was also the game in which we shared the ball the most, Kirkorsky said. We keep emphasizing that to the kids.
Glasgow, Kemph and Vliet are all being recruited by Division I programs.
Everyone definitely talks about how we have those three big scoring threats, Kirkorsky added. But you can go up and down our roster and there are kids who can really make an impact on both ends of the floor.
The Mustangs are allowing an average of 44.3 points per game.
The No. 1 thing is that we exert so much energy running the floor, Kirkorsky said. Obviously that makes for more possessions in the game. But we also continue to stress that in order to get into transition, it starts with a defensive possession and rebound.
Dundee Crown Charger Classic: A couple of new faces join the field for the 30th edition of the Charger Classic.
One of them is Mid-Suburban West contender Barrington (9-4).
Central Suburban League South power Maine South also joins the 16-team lineup of what has been one of the top tournaments in Illinois girls basketball since it began in 1982.
Prospect (7-5), Maine West (4-8) and Buffalo Grove (3-7) are other local entries.
West coach Derril Kipp has won the title five times and he brings junior forward Brittany Collins, who recently went over 1,000 points for her career.
Nine-time champion and East Suburban Catholic Conference power Fenwick is once again the top seed.
The Friars, who scored a 99-97 overtime win over Marist two weeks ago, finished third in the 2011 Charger Classic, which was won by Bartlett.Evanston, which started the season at 8-0, is the No. 2 seed.
Coincidentally, Buffalo Grove and Prospect have new coaches who are former athletes at Illinois State.
Bison coach Steve Koldoziej played football in Normal while Prospect coach Ashley (Sandstead) Graham starred in basketball.
Graham also played in the Charger Classic as an all-state guard for Buffalo Grove.
Warren Blue devil Classic: Palatine and Wheeling have become regulars in this eight-team event which starts out with three rounds of pool play.
The Pirates are off to a solid start, having 11 of their first 13 games under coach Leslie Schock. IUPUI-bound guard Nia Pappas directs the offense for the Pirates, who have thrived on defense.
Wheeling, which lost two starters with injuries earlier in the season, is always a threat under coach Julissa Hernandez, who guided the Wildcats to the supersectional last winter.
St. Viator Snowflake: The long-running Snowflake will give the host Lions a chance to add to their win total under first-year coach and former Buffalo Grove standout Christina Jost.
Junior guard Erin Fabbri leads the attack for the Lions (5-6).
Leyden has become a regular in the eight-team tourney which starts out with three rounds of pool play.
The Eagles are also led by a first-year coach, Drewann Pancratz, who played volleyball and basketball at Carthage College before being named the Daily Herald all-area honorary volleyball captain in 2008.
Mundelein tournament: Two Mid-Suburban West entries are the lone area teams in this 12-team tourney.
Hoffman Estates and Conant are both improving right along through the first six weeks of the season.
Coach Mike Nocellas Hoffman club (7-2) was third in this event last year and returns its top two scorers and rebounders Old Dominion-bound Destinee Young and Becca Stoczynski.
They helped lead the Hawks to a 40-30 victory at Barrington on Wednesday which gave four teams in the Mid-Suburban West one loss apiece.
Conants defense has risen to the occasion time after time for coach Dan Travers. The Cougars (3-8) kept things interesting when they played on the floor of defending MSL West champ Fremd, before falling 44-34 in their last game.
Wheaton North tournament: This 16-team event looks wide open.
Just three days ago, No. 7 seed Hersey (6-5) defeated No. 1 seed Glenbrook South 37-32 in Glenview as the Huskies raced out to a 21-3 lead and never looked back.
Glenbrook South (10-3) lost to Waubonsie Valley in last years final.
No. 2 seed Wheaton North has played well behind hot-shooting Mandy Traversa. Willowbrook is No. 3 followed by Hinsdale Central which boasts high-scoring sophomore guard Gabrielle Rush.
Coach Mary Fendleys Huskies, a past champion of this tourney, always seem to rise to the occasion in Wheaton.
First-year Elk Grove coach Kathie Swanson has the No. 8 Grenadiers at 7-5 with one of those wins coming over Hersey (32-27) less than a week ago. Jacksonville State-bound guard Kelly Naughton helps steer the offense which received a season-high 26 points in a 67-53 loss at Fenwick Wednesday. The Grens led Fenwick (top-seeded at Dundee-Crown) at half 37-34 in that game.
Thats the best thing about our tournament a lot of teams can win it, said Wheaton North coach David Eaton, whose club was in a memorable 95-72 loss at Rolling Meadows a few weeks ago. I dont know if thats the case in a lot of tournaments. There are a lot of good quality teams here.
Alden-Hebron Girls Tournament: Christian Liberty is of to its best start and will face Harvest Christian, Woodstock Junior Varsity and Alden-Hebron in the four-team round-robin event.
Coach Steve Rowlands backcourt is led by sophomore Jess Moriarty, junior Meg Sullivan and junior Vivian Barclay while junior Shelbi Hernandez is a force inside for the Chargers, who have won eight of their ten games.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) Goaltender Justin Peters helped the Hurricanes put some pressure on Winnipeg in the Southeast Division.
Peters stopped 34 shots Saturday as Carolina edged closer to the Jets with a much-needed 3-1 win.
``Peters had a great game and gave us a chance to win,'' said Carolina coach Kirk Muller, as his team narrowed the division gap to four points.
Alex Semin and Eric Staal each had a goal and an assist for the Hurricanes (16-15-2), who snapped a seven-game winless streak.
Jussi Jokinen also scored for Carolina.
Olli Jokinen scored for the Jets (18-16-2), who came to life in the second period only to have their momentum sapped by a string of penalties.
Winnipeg coach Claude Noel had little to say after the game.
``No one's more disappointed than us,'' he said, noting they still lead the Southeast Division.
``The division race is going to get played out (but) it's not what we had in mind.''
Peters, a third-stringer, is starting for Carolina because of injuries.
First the Canes lost starter Cam Ward for what could be the season to a ligament injury and they're also playing without backup Dan Ellis, after his leg was cut just over a week ago in a 4-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils.
Peters, who had allowed four goals in each of his past two starts, says he's still learning.
``I approach every game the same, no matter what the circumstances,'' he said. ``I try to take the same approach every game and give my best effort every night.''
Muller said the team wasn't in desperation mode coming into Winnipeg.
``Today was not a do or die,'' said Muller, who said they came in knowing there were 16 games still to play before the season wraps.
``For us it was more, if we can be a good hockey team for 16 games that's what we're after.''
Staal said the win was very important to his team.
``We needed to catch this team and win this game,'' he said, adding that controlling faceoffs helped lock it down. Carolina won 61 percent of the faceoffs Saturday.
``Especially on the road, you want to make sure you're starting with the puck and if you're strong in that area, you have a better chance of making plays and we were good in that area tonight.''
The Jets were disappointed by their first loss this season to Carolina.
``It was disappointing. It was a great opportunity for us to push these guys in a pretty deep hole,'' Blake Wheeler said.
He said they had their chances, but Peters stopped them.
``The second period it could have been 3-2, 4-2, 5-2, but their goalie made some great saves.''
The Hurricanes scored their first goal barely over a minute into the game when Semin snapped one in just a second after Winnipeg goalie Ondrej Pavelec had blocked Staal's wraparound attempt.
Jussi Jokinen's wrister at 9:41, one second after the end of Carolina's first power play of the game, made it 2-0.
Winnipeg put on pressure and outshot the Hurricanes 11-7 for the period, but the closest they came to getting past Peters was a goal post.
Olli Jokinen put Winnipeg on the board at 1:26 of the second on a neat backward pass from Evander Kane as he passed the Carolina net.
But Winnipeg took four penalties, including three that overlapped giving the Hurricanes a couple of brief 5-on-3 chances.
``In the second half of the second period we were in the box pretty much the whole 10 minutes,'' Olli Jokinen said.
Carolina regained its momentum in the third, with Staal snapping one from the right faceoff circle past Pavelec's glove just 28 seconds into the period.
``We've just got to get better in our zone next time,'' said Pavelec, who also gave Peters credit.
``They played as a team. He made some good saves. We had our chances but couldn't score.''
NOTES: The Jets won both their games in Carolina this season and the Hurricanes get one more crack to even the series April 18 when they play their last game in Winnipeg this season. The Jets head back out on the road to play the Rangers and Islanders Monday and Tuesday and Montreal on Thursday.

Move Aside BB and CC: The First-Ever DD Cream Is Here
(Photo courtesy)
First, there was the original: AA, er, anti-aging creams. BB creams—the super-buzzy "beauty balm" foundation replacements we're sure you've at least heard of by now—followed. The industry, then, one-upped itself and out emerged the CC Cream, a "color correcting" formula packed with more anti-aging and complexion-brightening ingredients than its lesser letter counterparts.
And just when we've barely wrapped our brains around CC, there's now another alphabet-cream making its way on the market—can you guess?—DD, "dynamic do-all" creams and concealers.
Julep's new wave of skincare-makeup hybrids—which promise to "tackle signs of aging while diminishing fine lines, balancing uneven tone, and protect delicate areas of the face"—just went up for pre-order in the States.
The DD cream ($36) comes in four shades and packs SPF protection among the aforementioned benefits, while the DD concealer ($32) is said to help "diminish the appearance of dark circles, discoloration, redness, blemishes, and other skin flaws."
Tell us, will you be quick to try out the first DD products when they officially hit shelves on May 25th? Or is this whole alphabet-beauty craze starting to, um, get a little out of hand? Sound off in the comments, below!

Back at Yale, Hillary Clinton avoids talk of White House
NEW HAVEN -- They started out as mock trial partners here in this Gothic maze of liberalism.
It's a complicated partnership that has taken Hillary and Bill Clinton from Little Rock, Ark., to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Will there be a White House encore?
The subject of rampant speculation that she will run again for president in 2016, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton returned to her Yale Law School alma mater Saturday for an award presentation and speech with her husband sitting in the front row of a packed campus concert hall.
Clinton, 65, who was first lady from 1993 to 2001 and later a U.S. senator from New York, harked back to her introduction to the future 42nd president while at Yale. They were in the library, she said, when his distinctive southern drawl caught her ear. That was four decades ago.
"I heard a voice say, `Not only that, we grow the biggest watermelons in the world.' I said, `Who is that?' The answer was, `That's Bill Clinton, and that's all he talks about,'" Clinton said. "Those were the days when he looked like a Viking from Arkansas. We had a conversation that day that continues into this one."
Yalies past and present started lining up nearly two hours before Clinton took the stage at Woolsey Hall, filling the stuffy 2,700-seat Beaux-Arts style concert hall to capacity during reunion weekend. Inside the cavernous auditorium, Clinton received the Yale Law School Association Award of Merit, whose previous recipients include Bill Clinton.
"She has changed the world herself and she has also provided a platform for other members of our community to do the same," Robert Post, the law school's dean, said during his introduction of Clinton.
Post gushed over Clinton's White House prospects, delivering an applause line when he said many pundits have predicted that she will look to add "one last elusive line to her resume."
"And I'm very happy to say that today with this award, we can prove them right," Post joked.
In a national poll conducted by Quinnipiac University and released Wednesday, Clinton held a commanding lead over Vice President Joe Biden, 61 percent to 11 percent, among the contenders for the Democratic nomination in 2016. U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo mustered 7 percent and 2 percent in that same poll, which showed Clinton with a double-digit lead over leading Republicans Chris Christie, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul.
Seated in the front row for Clinton's remarks was U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a Yale classmate of Clinton.
"Keep up the good fight on behalf of the people of Connecticut," said Clinton, who wore a white suit jacket with black pants.
Clinton avoided the topic of her political future, using the stage instead to highlight the rash of poverty in the U.S. and to discuss her human rights work. She pointed out that half of all food stamp recipients are children. In New Haven, she said, 25 percent of the population and 38 percent of children live in poverty. The statistic is even worse in Hartford, she said.
"Connecticut is one of our wealthiest states and more than half the children in its capital live in poverty," she said.
Clinton made references to the government shutdown and impasse over the Affordable Care Act, saying that Americans have lost faith in their elected representatives and institutions with the brinksmanship that goes on in Washington.
"The lessons that I learned here and the tools that I acquired in law school have made me more determined that we have to try to reverse these trends," Clinton said.
When Clinton graduated from Yale Law School in 1973, she was only one of 27 women in a class of 235 students.
"I was driving a beat-up old car," she said. "I had a mattress tied to the roof. I was wearing my bell bottoms. I'm so glad there were no cellphones or camera phones then."
Clinton recounted that eight members of the Black Panther Party were being tried for murder and other crimes in New Haven at the time, while four students were killed by the National Guard at Kent State University in Ohio.
"It was a tumultuous time in America, in New Haven and at Yale," Clinton said. "We had a lot of late-night heated arguments over the future of the country."
In addition to Blumenthal, Clinton acknowledged former U.S. Sen. John Danforth, R-Mo., a Yale Divinity School graduate in the audience, as well as Jake Sullivan, a Yale Law School graduate who was Clinton's director of policy planning and deputy chief of staff when she was secretary of state. Sullivan is now Biden's national security adviser.
"So if Vice President Biden starts wearing pant suits and scrunchies, we know who to blame," Clinton said.
Clinton entered the concert hall separately from her husband, with both receiving standing ovations from the audience. She clasped her hands together and bowed appreciatively.
"We have so many blessings right now in our country, even in these difficult times," she said. "The chances we have to keep moving together in the right direction toward that more perfect union are even greater today than they were 40 years ago."

BFG GeForce GTS 250 OC 1GB Review
When you are finally ready to step up to a newer video card or make the selection for your new PC build, the quandary we all face is which one do I get? The numbering schemes should spell it out for you but for some reason the higher numbers are not always the better products. nVidia's video card naming structure can be somewhat confusing for Joe Six Pack down at the local big box store. This is by no means an nVidia exclusive problem. Is that 9400GT better than the 8800GT? Not really when it comes to gaming performance! Understanding the generations and the performance levels inherent to each series of cards is a must to know what you are getting in the current world of video card naming. Making a purchase just because the number is higher does not provide the full picture. nVidia has been listening to customer feedback on this problem and has begun renaming its cards to create a more streamlined video card hierarchy. By doing this it will eliminate some of the confusion when it comes down to making a purchase. There will be two distinct lineups, one being the GTS line that is targeted at the performance market, and the GTX line set squarely in the sights of the enthusiast market. While renaming is nothing new, there seems to be some serious bad blood with some people out in the community over it this time around. Oh well, it happens. Think about this, Ford renamed the Pinto as the Mustang II and gave it a new look with a little flash and design changes to make it look like a Mustang when up under the skin it was all Pinto.
So where does this leave us with the BFG Geforce GTS 250 OC 1GB? Well, for all intents and purposes, it is a G92 based video card that is the successor to the 9800GTX+. As the successor to the 9800GTX+, the GTX 250 shares many of the same characteristics such as clock speed, memory speed, the same 256-bit memory bus, same amount of shader cores and all. Where this card differs from the 9800GTX+ is the price point it is being offered at as well as the fact that models are available with both 512MB and 1GB memory configurations at $129 and $149 price points, respectively. The power connections required drop from two 6-pin PCI-E connections on the 9800GTX+ down to a single 6-pin requirement as well as a change in the heatsink design. No longer is the design shared between the GTS and GTX series of cards. While the stock clock speeds come in at 738MHz on the core and 1100MHz on the memory, the BFG Overclocked version comes in at a core speed of 750MHz and the 1GB of memory at 1120MHz. Wil the increase in clock speed and memory size make for a dominating performance over the HD 4850, this card's main competition? Let's find out and see what this revision of the G92 workhorse can bring to the table.
Closer Look:
The front panel of the package shows a small picture of the GTS 250 OC, the name of the card, as well as the specifications of the GTS 250. There is also a list of items included with the GTS 250. Highlighted along the bottom is the fact that BFG offers free 24/7 support and a lifetime warranty on the GTS 250. The rear panel shows in picture form the difference between integrated graphics solutions and an nVidia based graphics solution. The support and warranty are again prominently highlighted.
Pulling the insert out of the retail box shows that the product is well packaged, preventing a card that is DOA. Instead of the foam block that has become a popular method for reducing shipping damage, BFG uses a cardboard frame that is tightly bound around the GTS 250.
The list of accessories that comes with the card includes the manual, a driver disc, dual 4-pin Molex to 6-pin PCI-E power adapter, DVI to D-Sub adapter and a few good looking stickers to show off your loyalties. The package is slim but on a $149 card you have to conserve somewhere. While slim, the bundle will get you started.
Let's see what the GTS looks like up close and personal.

Oldies..come here, let's nostalgia ;)
I'm a little bit young in FreeBSD world, but i want to know why, how, and when did you first know and using Computer?
Ok, let's start nostalging about everything..
I forgot when the exact year. about 14 years ago, I played my first game on my friend's computer : Prince of Persia...on DOS.. in 1997, I have my own computer, Pentium 2 if I wasn't wrong, and I played porn-games for the first time in my life in that computer...of course I didn't know that the game was embedded by virus that would make my windows 98 'freeze' after i shut the game. That day, i try to reinstall windows 98 just to have another round of porn-games... For Heaven's sake...That's the root of everything.Porn.
in 2005, I have my own computer, and start using Linux Slackware.. my friend gave it to me and said that I should try it. He said that Slackware is the most easy linux ever..first thing i know is that i need 3 days neglecting my college just to make myself success executing 'startx'. i start looking other distro's. I tried SuSE but was so slow..tried Mandriva,Fedora, but none of i like..especially Ubuntu, i just hate the log-on sound
The reason why i used Linux is simple : i need OS that immune to virus, so that i could worry-not about viruses in my flash disk and could lend my flashdisk to my friend with light-hearted and smile..The other reason, i don't want other people touching my computer. And since there's only almost 10 people out of 800 person in my Faculty running Linux, i'd be safe..
in 2007, i forced to sell my laptops for my college fee, and i start to work part-time. There. my Senior told me to try FreeBSD. My limitations make me harder to install mainstream Linux, so that i tried FreeBSD..it's been almost a year now, and i think i'll stick with it...
you know what's the best part of Unix-like Systems? virtual desktop...in one desktop you could watch porn, or play games...but in one keystroke, you could be 'Good-worker-that-never-playing-around-while-worktime'...exactly what i need
So, what's your story?
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. -- Soren Kierkegaard
Is there an absolute age limit to this thread, on the lower end I mean?
My first time sitting down to use a computer was in 1966 or so; as I recall I was using a 110-baud ASR 33 terminal.
My first programming class was in 1971. I was taught BASIC. My first program solved quadratic equations.
My first experience with Multics (a precursor to Unix) was in 1979. I think my first use of Unix was around 1981 or 1982.
@mousesack, nope, the title said "oldies" just beacuse to attract people .. besides..maybe i'm the youngest one here..
i think it's pretty cool to show ASR-33 to your grandson later
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. -- Soren Kierkegaard
Nope, my mistake. The ASR33s were used in my programming classes -- the class had four of them: two which were offline only, used to create/edit paper tapes of the programs, and two which could connect to the HP minicomputer across town, via modem.
The first terminal I used was a Teletype 35ASR.
You need to understand, eine -- none of this stuff was "personal computing" by any stretch of the imagination. So no, I don't have any of this equipment; it wasn't mine.
The first personal computer I owned was in the 70s -- A Zylog Z-80 (Intel 8080 clone plus some additional capability) with 8K of main memory. I remember swapping out the 8x1K chips for 8x2K chips to double the memory, and was astonished that memory prices had come down enough for me to afford the upgrade -- US$90.00.

I got started in 1985 on a Franklin Ace 100 writing little programs in BASIC. That machine was actually a couple years old at the time and there wasn't much available in terms of upgrades. I did some work in PASCAL on an Amiga 500 later on. I was pretty happy with the Amiga until the Pentium-class stuff became available and I was given a Packard-Bell which was the most temperamental and poorly designed machine I have used to date. I can't remember the model, but I think it was a Pentium 100 MHz processor. Thus began a very long and very dark period of disassembling the PC and rebuilding it - and we have come so far.
For example, your account was limited to a certain total cost, unless you wanted to buy more. This was a way to manage the limited resource, but computing time was very expensive. In graduate school one fellow did not debug a big computational (finite element) program with enough care, and it had an endless loop. He drained the computer budget for the entire lab of a dozen people for that semester. We could not afford to purchase more. This is not an unusual story; everyone from that era has their own similar tale.
That changed with the IBM PC. While Apple and many others had computers earlier, it is the IBM blessing that caused business to move to PCs. They could do many of the simple things that people did (and the killer application was Visicalc, a spreadsheet), but the motivation was largely to get rid of the restrictions forced on users by the centralized IT hierarchy.
The rest is history, as they say.
"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words." -Philip K. Dick
I started on a MSX, not well known in the U.S., but pretty popular in Japan, Spain, and Netherlands.
It had a Z80 chip, IIRC we had an expensive version with 256Kb of RAM.
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
I had friends who invested in IMSAI and KIM computers, which were 8080 based. I'd used those, and I was working on a research project that included some professional microcomputers, whose names have long escaped me, as well as some of the consumer-based products of the time, such as the Pet (6502) and the CompuColor (no recollection ). I can't even recall the make/model of my early Z-80; it might have been an Atari.
Around 1979 or so, I purchased a turn-key word processor for the home; I enjoyed having it because it also came with CP/M -- the precursur to what became PC-DOS/MS-DOS.
Years later, I purchased a "PC" for the family; as I recall that was a Compaq brand 486.
Most of my IT career has, when focused on tech, been involved with computing that would be considered "large systems" -- rather than personal or small stuff.
MS-DOS came from QDOS ("quick and dirty operating system) from Seattle Computer Products (mainly S-100 bus based); they were more receptive to IBM than Kildall was, and a commercial arrangement was reached.
I still have copies of CP/M-80, -86 and MP/M 8-16 on the shelf with complete documentation.
Fair enough. QDOS was sort of a CP/M 86 knockoff.
Well I can't top these guys, but-
Atari 2600 (I still have one, and it still works.)
Atari 400, 800
Apple II, IIe, IIc
IBM PS/2 Model 386 (which ironically contained a 286 processor )
... And on into 'modern' PC's.
To relate to another OT thread about getting kids interested in IT, it was my massive waste of time playing games on the 2600 that got me into computing, not having a complex yet archaic system dropped in my lap with expectations that I would master it easily and enjoyably. Ah, the good ole days!
Network Firefighter
I'll try to keep this brief; let's see if I succeed.
I started programming in 1975; it was a rudimentary FORTRAN course required of all engineers and optional for scientists (they could also choose Algol-W). We used punched cards to feed an Amdahl mainframe, probably the first IBM-compatible, though this one was compatible with the IBM 360. Card punches are terribly unreliable, and often the ribbons would lose ink (and not print the statement at the top of the card) so when you found a decent card punch you tended to return to it.
The first computer I owned was a Compupro, an S-100 bus computer on which I ran MP/M 8-16; I bought it in 1980. It had dual processors (8085 and 8088), 256K of fast static RAM, two 8" floppies (1.2MB each) and a slew of serial ports. The dual floppies actually worked pretty well: you could put your OS and all your applications on one, and use the other as a working disk for your files. Input was from a serial terminal, and output was to an infernal dot matrix printer. God those things were awful.
I had a friend in the department at Berkeley who wrote bits and pieces of the OS for Compupro, and they gave the department a damn good deal. They were also located physically a few miles away (near the Oakland, CA airport, FWIW).
My first exposure to Unix was at Berkeley in the height of the BSD era. It was just hard to avoid. I remember well the day we got our first terminal in the lab (a Televideo 925 -- yuck!) and it was shared between about a dozen of us. Most people used the IBM mainframe (or earlier one of the CDC mainframes); much work was done on a lab Compupro, with some of us slowly migrating over the Unix. I learned much of that using the program "learn" in the bowels of Gilman Hall, a registered national monument in which plutonium and some other transuranic elements were discovered. Work for two Nobel prizes was conducted there. "Learn" is pretty easy to port, and is available on Kernighan's web site.
Over they years I have programmed on nearly every OS: the early Apple ones and OS7 (was there one of those?), IBM's VM/CMS, DEC's VMS, HP's RTE-A, MS-DOS, Windows, and of course Unix. There were interludes with the Pet (as mentioned above), on which we wrote finite-difference heat conduction code (that thing was terribly slow) and a Tektronics graphics computer using their extended BASIC. I designed a solvent-recovery system for an Ibuprofen plant on the latter.
It truly is amazing how much faster computers are today than they were in the old days, and that brings up an interesting story. Some years ago I wanted to pull some papers out of my thesis, which I had stored on a standard tape in tar format (in 1988). I found a fellow who still had such an old tape drive, and he transferred it to a CD for me -- over 15 years later. No issues at all with data longevity.
My thesis was in troff, and it ran through groff without a hitch. Try that with a modern word processor.
For kicks, I took the code that I used for one of the larger calculations in the thesis. I ran it on the Compupro, and it took about 8 hours to execute. On a 500MHz PIII it took a few tenths of a second. On a modern computer you get into round-off error if you use a shell timing routine. That is much faster than the mainframes of the era; even the VAX 8600s of the day took about 5 minutes to execute the thing. Remember that this VAX was the hot box of the day, and it routinely supported well over a hundred users.
Many more stories, of course, but I'll end here for now. I still have the Compupro, BTW, and it works as well as it always did.
So much for keeping it short.

When I was 9 my parents bought me a TI 99 4/a, a friend a few years later got a Commadore 64 and they had cooler games. So I started programming so I could make cool games for my TI!

Am I the only person who thought DrJ's story was awesome?
The first "PC" I sat infront was a Schneider PC (I don't know which one exactly) in school but I was not allowed to use it frequently becaus eI was to young....
My brother had a C64 before my dad bought a PC with an Intel Pentium 60MHz.
I messed the System so many times so he had to pay a lot of money to get it repaired.
A few weeks later I knew that they just reinstalled windows --- I was young and clueless
But I'm I am just a newbie to thge computerbusiness with my age of 25.
Where are the old guys that spend thousands of $ to their hobby?
"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words." -Philip K. Dick
It's reliable, cheap, reliable, simple, and did I mention reliable?
I always have to smile when I see people messing around with cups, a2ps and who knows what else, to print I just use:
# cat file.txt > /dev/lpt0
And the best part is, it will always print, unlike those inkjet printers from HP, Canon, etc., which are notoriously unreliable, break down fast, and use expensive cartridges.
Ok, it's not perfect, and (a good) laser printer is better, but dot matrix printers are pretty good too, and much, MUCH better than inkjet printers.

Culture Shock
In Memoriam—The late great poet Robert Creeley gets his due in a reading this weekend at the Anasazi Fields Winery in Placitas. Creeley died earlier this year of pneumonia following a distinguished career in which he was widely recognized as one of the most innovative poets of the last half of the 20th century.

The Unexpected Man at the Cell Theatre
At the top of my Christmas wish list is a piece of imaginary technology I like to call the Thought Machine. It basically consists of a set of headphones connected to a kind of ray gun. When you aim the gun at people and press the trigger, it shoots out an invisible ray that allows you to listen to their thoughts. I'm hoping that 20 years from now I'll be able to pick up one of these babies at Target for $39.95. In The Unexpected Man, a play currently running at the Cell Theatre, playwright Yasmina Reza uses a similar sort of theatrical technology to crack open the silent thoughts of her two characters.

East Meets West
An interview with Salman Rushdie
In the last decade Americans have watched dumbfounded as the Cold War evolved into the War on Terror. How did this happen? Why did it happen? And who is to blame? Perhaps the most qualified novelist in the world to address these questions is 58-year-old Salman Rushdie. Indian by way of Pakistan and Anglo by way of boarding school in England, Rushdie is a quintessential east-west soul. Born into a secular Muslim household, he experienced the wrath of Islamic fundamentalism in 1989 when Ayatollah Khomeini put a bounty on his head for the perceived slights against Muslims in his comic novel, Satanic Verses.

University of Colorado at Boulder: Prohibitive Security Fee Charged for Controversial Speakers
Category: Free Speech
Schools: University of Colorado at Boulder
After the University of Colorado at Boulder threatened to bill the Students for True Academic Freedom and other CU-Boulder clubs more than $2,000 for security for a controversial event featuring Ward Churchill and William Ayers as speakers, the organizers of the event came to FIRE for help. CU-Boulder spokesman Bronson Hilliard stated that Students for True Academic Freedom would be billed for security partly on the basis of a potentially hostile audience reaction to the speakers. The police security bill was going to be $2,203.42, plus fees for parking and building security. FIRE wrote to the University administration, explaining that requiring student organizations to pay for extra security is unconstitutional because it affixes a price tag to events on the basis of their expressive content. Soon after, CU-Boulder relented, and agreed that there should be no extra security fee for the event.

Campus security bills for speakers challenged
March 29, 2009
When a UC Berkeley student group invited a speaker known for his hard-line pro-Israel stance, the university feared clashes with Palestinian supporters and billed the group more than $3,000 for police protection. It was a common response by campus officials in a security-conscious era. When a speaker's controversial topic or history suggests the possibility of a violent reaction, the thinking goes, the sponsoring group should pay for protecting the speaker, the audience and public property. That sounds logical, but it's also unconstitutional, says the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a conservative-leaning group that defends free speech on campus. Citing […]» Read More
Students In Standoff With CU Over Ayers, Churchill Event
March 3, 2009
The University of Colorado Boulder student group that is bringing former CU professor Ward Churchill and former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers to campus is locked in a standoff with the university over who will pay thousands of dollars for extra security at the event. Students for True Academic Freedom, which is sponsoring the event, said CU officials are unfairly imposing a $3,000 security fee to try to stop the event from happening. The fee would cover the cost of having campus police at the engagement. "The fees are exorbitant," said Aaron Smith, an organizer with the group. Smith said […]» Read More
Ward Churchill's attorney: CU fee for Bill Ayers visit
February 26, 2009
The attorney representing fired University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill is threatening legal action if the school doesn't waive a $3,000 fee for student groups hosting an appearance next week by former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers. David Lane, who represents Churchill, said Thursday the fee is exorbitant and an unconstitutional restraint on free speech. The university says the fee is standard for any event requiring security. CU attorney Pat O'Rourke said he's reviewing Lane's demand. CU spokesman Bronson Hilliard said it's standard to charge student groups fees to recoup security costs for large events. He said the $3,000 charge […]» Read More
Victory for Freedom of Speech at University of Colorado at Boulder: University Lifts Financial Burden on Students Hosting Controversial Speakers Ward Churchill and William Ayers
April 20, 2009
Today's press release announces that FIRE has persuaded yet another public college to respect the First Amendment when it comes to charging high security fees for controversial speakers. In each case, the university charged additional fees for security because of the controversial nature of the speaker's ideas. Charging every speaker (or the speaker's hosts) the same amount for security is fine-such as charging all after-hours events for an after-hours security guard. But charging some speakers more than others for security, simply because the audience might feel offended and get unruly, is prohibited by the First Amendment. Two years ago it […]» Read More

BOULDER, Colo., April 20, 2009—The University of Colorado at Boulder has reversed a threat to charge excessively high security fees for a controversial event that included speeches by Ward Churchill and William Ayers. After the university threatened to bill the organizers more than $2,000 for security, the organizers of the event came to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) for help.

Four FIRE Cases on Security Fees Top Sunday's San Francisco Chronicle
March 31, 2009
Page A-1 of Sunday's San Francisco Chronicle features four of FIRE's cases on unacceptably high security fees for controversial speakers. In each case, the potential reaction of the audience was used to assess security fees and charge them to the host. But as the Supreme Court wrote in Forsyth County v. Nationalist Movement (1992), "Speech cannot be financially burdened, any more than it can be punished or banned, simply because it might offend a hostile mob." In the article, Bob Egelko points out that both Berkeley and UCLA, two of the three top-ranked schools in U.S. News & World Report, […]» Read More
Controversial Speakers Face Huge Security Fees at Berkeley and Colorado
March 17, 2009
Today's press release calls upon the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Colorado at Boulder to meet their constitutional responsibility not to burden controversial speakers or ideas on campus. The principle is pretty clear: whether the speaker is controversial, popular, or unremarkable, similar security fees should be assessed for similar events. All too often, we have seen the assessment of very high "security costs" as a pretext for punishing or even excluding unpopular or controversial speakers. The truth is that if any extra security is deemed necessary because of a potentially hostile audience, it is the responsibility […]» Read More

This is not how 2013 was supposed to begin for the Nevil family.
Steve and Katy and their kids Laren and Will left home in Tennessee to visit relatives in Texas just before Thanksgiving. They never made it. A horrifying accident took the life of Katy Nevil, 38, and has left 12-year-old Lauren fighting for her life.
According to Arkansas State Police, another vehicle driving erratically along I-30 West hit the family's SUV causing them to veer off the roadway. A tree sliced through the passenger side of the car.
Katy's husband Steve was driving during the incident. He and the couple's nine-year-old son, Will, were not seriously injured.
The story doesn't end there. What has happened since is equal parts heartbreaking and inspirational. Steve Nevil started a Facebook page for Lauren, chronicling her recovery from a traumatic brain injury. He posts updates in her voice, writing words he hopes some day to hear her speak for herself.
"It helped me try to understand what she was physically going through as a 12-year-old child," Nevil explained to a local news outlet. "I wanted to allow [people] to reside in our hospital room where I am every day, and let them see her progress."
The Praying for the Nevils Facebook page has, in less than two months, amassed 170,000 likes from fans who are now following Lauren's difficult road and sending in prayers.
"I'm now able to be transferred from my bed of 82 days to a wheelchair," goes a typical post from earlier this week.
"Because I can get in a chair now, I've been outside 2 days in a row! … My first trip, I wanted to touch and smell all the landscaping. I was trying to touch the soft, green grass but was too far from it in my wheelchair. The nurse helped me get a few pieces from the ground. I instantly put it to my nose and with a deep inhalation from my nose, smelled it. It's amazing after 80 days the small things that you appreciate and miss so much."
Steve has been too busy helping Lauren through her ordeal to process his own grief over losing his wife, he says. But as a result he's been an incredible father and enormous boon to Lauren. The staff at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth says her progress is encouraging, too. Some patients who have suffered similar trauma never even make it this far.
A fund has been started to assist the family with medical bills and support has been flowing in from strangers from all over the world.
"I don't understand all of that, but I'm going to accept it," says Steve. "That it's a bigger plan."

Why does this article make it seem as if GPT disks are the only option? btrfs is fine on MBR disks. In fact the entire section on GPT partitioning is generic and entirely irrelevant to using btrfs for root. The section should merely point to gpt or mbr partitioning pages.
I have removed the relevant "disputed, unconfirmed blabla" bits about syslinux. Updated the part on installing the syslinux bootloader and added links to relevant parts of the syslinux wiki.The system install part still needs some changes to reflect the use of the AIS (arch-chroot, pacstrap etc). --Flako (talk) 08:46, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
Loop method not explained.
The page says...
"Warning: If you need swap support, either make a partition, or use the loop method detailed below. DO NOT simply use a swap file! Doing so will corrupt your btrfs filesystem."
However the loop method is not detailed below.
--Mex (talk) 15:19, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
mkinitcpio-btrfs is not available
The following statement will always fail due to missing mkinitcpio-btrfs, this will of course be addressed later on the page, but it should be removed from this line as it will fail and confuse new users.
# pacman -r . -Sy base btrfs-progs mkinitcpio-btrfs <boot_loader> --ignore grub
--Eskild (talk) Fri Feb 22 17:04:42 CET 2013
The backup command is totally wrong and dangerous. Maybe its better to delete the parts concerning the backup and refer to other backup articles.
This page needs to be deleted. As of today (April 2013) no additional steps beyond those outlined in Installation Guide are required to install Archlinux on Btrfs (except filesystem creation, mkfs.btrfs). First, all entries regarding bootloader and partitioning are not specific to the Btrfs filesystem and shouldn't be here. Instead, future users should be redirected to their dedicated pages. Second, mkinitcpio-btrfs should have its own wiki page because it is not in the official repositories and it is not required to be part of the installation process. Cngn (talk) 11:25, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
As a new archlinux user, 'don't do this' is unhelpful without an alternative set of steps that is suggested instead. What steps need to occur in order to setup btrfs in the right form for snapshots etc? Joshka (talk) 09:02, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Iesha M. and Bob Keezer of Pembroke may come from different backgrounds, but this spring they are both taking steps to reach their dreams. And while they may never meet, they are supporting each other on this journey.
Iesha M. and Bob Keezer of Pembroke may come from different backgrounds, but this spring they are both taking steps to reach their dreams. And while they may never meet, they are supporting each other on this journey.
Iesha is a determined young woman who realizes the value of hard work. Her future is looking bright but it wasn't always this way for Iesha. When she was 15, she worked through difficult times of being pregnant and going to school. Then she learned to balance motherhood with her studies. Iesha didn't give up; instead, she pushed through and earned her high school diploma.
After graduating from high school, her relationship with her family became strained. Iesha wanted a better life for herself and made the difficult choice to leave her family and enter a shelter with her son, a time she calls one of the hardest struggles she needed to overcome.
Iesha persevered through the difficult time of living in a shelter and found a way to move her life forward. With the help of Project Hope, she participated in a 12-week job-training program. Within weeks of graduation, Tufts Health Plan hired Iesha where she has now worked for over 2 years.
This year Bob Keezer of Pembroke will line up in Hopkinton to run the 118th Boston Marathon on April 21 as part of Project Hope's Marathon. The 2014 Project Hope Marathon Team is 52 runners strong from all over the country, and includes two runners from Ireland. The Project Hope team has run and raised an impressive amount of miles and dollars to date. They have their sights on exceeding the team's goal of $250,000 by Marathon Monday. Every dollar they raise provides vital resources for Project Hope programs, which change the lives of young women like Iesha.
Iesha bettered her life with help from programs like Project Hope, but it was her own determination and wisdom coupled with that support that paved the way to her success. Bob Keezer is determined to help her do just that.

From Left Field
By BOB SHRALUKA
A new Indiana law taking effect on July 1 is designed to address nepotism in government.
Starting with the 2014 elections, someone cannot be elected to a council or board if he/she is an employee of that agency. Two members of Decatur City Council, Charlie Cook and Bill Crone, will not be affected as both are Adams County employees, Cook with the sheriff's department (resource officer at Adams Central) and Crone with the prosector's office.
They wouldn't be ousted in 2014, anyway, since they were elected to new four-year terms last year.
Beginning in 2014, though, city employees — including police — will be barred from seeking an elected city office, as will county employees not be able to seek a seat on county council or the county commission, for instance.
There is some difficulty here with that portion of the law since it could eliminate from consideration some potentially solid members of a governing body. Cook, for example, has been an effective member of city council for a number of years. Under the new law, though, he could not serve beyond his current term were he still with the city police department, as he was at one time.
One can see, though, how, in a much larger community, such a position could be severely abused, and without transparency.
Another portion of the new law deals with the sheerest form of nepotism: hiring and/or overseeing family members.
It demands that anti-nepotism and conflict of interest disclosure standards be established by local units of government. The law will not force governmental bodies into firing employees to comply with the anti-nepotism standards, but it will require full, public disclosure of any situations involving nepotism.
And nepotistic hirings will be banned.
Double your request to meet goal
So, in the midst of all the hard times and public attempts to help those struggling, Indiana Michigan Power is requesting a rate increase which I &M says would hike the typical bill by 22 percent. Ouch!
If the request is approved in full by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC), people who pay $86 a month now would see that bill jump to $106. Ouch again!
It is, of course, an old shell game. I&M files a request for a large-scale increase, more than it really wants, knowing that the IURC folks will cut it in half or maybe a little more. So the utility winds up with 10 percent or so, which it is more than happy with, even though it will emit sounds of pain and suffering and anguish.
If I&M asked 10 percent at the outset, of course, it would get probably only five percent, and then it would wind up short of what it really desires.
I&M spokesman David Mayne told the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette that the utility has spent $440 million on its system since its last rate increase and deserves a fair recovery on that investment.
Sure, except that its customers don't know if that entire investment was necessary. Or pertinent. Or without some padding here and there. That's another part of the shell game.
Then there's the political waste
Speaking of shell games, don't you love it when the presidential pols and their oodles of spokespeople fill the air and the airwaves with blather about who can best create jobs, help the downtrodden masses, and still shrink the deficit — and spend (waste would be a better word) hundreds of millions of dollars to do so?
Sorry, but it's just incredibly sick to see millions upon millions of dollars being poured into these campaigns — mostly to dump on the other guy, much of the time with hedged truths and outright lies — while people are struggling, most of them through no fault of their own.
It's worse then ever now, far worse than ever, due to the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling.
So the haves spend away and the have-nots look for ways to feed their kids. Meanwhile, the haves continue to tell the have-nots that this isn't a two-class society.
