Handling program crashes in Fedora
As of about Fedora 6, packages no longer include the "debuginfo" data necessary for local crash handlers to get a useful stack trace. See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Debuginfo and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces
What we want is a system that gets information about the crash to developers in a form with complete stack trace data.
The plan has two parts:
- Create a program to catch crashing programs and write out a crash report / stack trace
- Doable using the kernel's core pattern, and inotify
- This should be able to produce Breakpad reports, among other output formats
- Check using rpm & yum metadata whether the crashed program actually comes from Fedora code & repositories
- Notify the user when a program crashes, and allow them to
- Save the crash data and create a report
- Ignore further crashes of that program
- Ignore all further crashes
- Have a command line interface/preference for all of this
- Get a Socorro server running in Fedora's infrastructure
- Point the default breakpad configuration to it (easy)
- Run a separate kerneloops server?
Open questions
- Do symbol resolution on the client or the server?
- How to do symbol resolution? FUSE? littlebottom?
- Why not use breakpad?
- We don't want LD_PRELOAD everywhere.
- Name: [none currently]
Current status
- Targeted release:
- Last modified: Template:Void9 June 2008
- Percent complete: 0%
Usage cases / rationale
By providing an automated mechanism for tracking application crashes, we will be able to:
- see bugs earlier, and fix them earlier
- see what bugs are hit most
- get usage and crash data from people who are unable or unwilling to interact with bugzilla
Benefit to Fedora
Better crash data, which leads to more crash fixes, which leads to a higher-quality distribution.
- Requires running a new server in the Fedora infrastructure.
- Requires a new crash handling agent
- Requires packaging the Socorro server
Cause a program to crash and get a report submitted to Socorro. Test that socorro correctly retraces it and gets enough information for a developer to identify the problem.
- Need to package the socorro server
User Experience
A program crashes. We display a dialog or notification that the program has crashed and save a useful stack trace to a well-known location.
Contingency plan
If this plan fails for some unforseen reason, we can reinvestigate other options such as Apport.
None needed.
Release Notes
We will want to explain to developers of Free programs how to find crash dumps.

Gas prices are expected to rise (and, in fact, are already rising) in 2011, maybe even topping $5 per gallon. Unless you drive a green car Olympian, this spike will likely affect your finances. So to help you increase your gas mileage and save money, we're debunking the following 5 gas myths.
Gas myth #1: Premium is better
According to the Federal Trade Commission, high-octane fuel won't give your car better gas mileage, increase its performance, or make it run any cleaner. In general, regular octane works just fine for most cars. If your owner's manual recommends pumping regular, there's no need to upgrade to premium.
Gas myth #2: Idling saves gas
Idling may have been the favorite pastime of 19th-century dandies like Oscar Wilde, but it doesn't help much with fuel economy. In fact, according to Edmunds' experts, idling could decrease your mpg by as much as 19 percent. Idling for longer than 10 seconds burns more gas than restarting the engine, so if you plan on stopping for longer than 30 seconds, you should turn off your car. (And as an added bonus, you'll cut back on emissions and help improve air quality as well.) Avoid going idle Wilde and save a few Washingtons in the process.
Gas myth #3: Dirty air filters impact fuel economy
This is true if you drive a '76 Chevelle, but modern cars have been engineered to control the air-fuel ratio, depending on the amount of air coming in through the filter. Reducing airflow causes the engine to automatically reduce the amount of fuel being used. A dirty air filter may hinder your acceleration speed, but according to Consumer Reports, driving with a dirty air filter no longer has any impact on fuel economy.
Gas myth #4: Cruise control doesn't improve mpg
Cruise control is still going strong and can actually increase your fuel efficiency. On flat roads and highways, cruise control maintains a steady speed, cutting out rapid acceleration and fuel loss.
Additionally, you can increase your gas mileage by up to 15 percent if you travel at 55 rather than 65 mph. Dropping from 70 to 60 mph improves fuel efficiency by an average of 17.2 percent, and dropping from 75 to 55 improves fuel efficiency by 30.6 percent!
Gas myth # 5: Fuel additives add extra oomph (and gas mileage)
Don't buy into the advertising. The Environmental Protection Agency tested hundreds of products claiming to enhance fuel economy and have yet to discover one that really works. Your best bet? Skip the additives and keep your car well-maintained.
Hopefully, by knowing what's myth and what's not, you'll be able to maximize your mpg and save some bucks at the pump this year.

2006 Mazda Mazda5 ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Six-passenger car blurs line between wagon and minivan.
Minivans are passe. Station wagons are so outdated. But families still exist, and couples young and old still enjoy getting out and about. And, of course, gas prices continue to climb, or show little or no sign of returning to levels U.S. drivers consider normal.
What to do? Why, buy a crossover, or what some used to call a hybrid: a car that's more than a car, but isn't really a minivan or a station wagon, either. Whatever they're called, they fit somewhere in between those two, socially dated vehicles, trying to blend the best of both without mixing in any of the downsides of either.
The newest iterations are about the size of a car, but slightly taller, and often share underpinnings with cars. They use the same powertrains, albeit tuned to motivate generally slightly heavier and bulkier packages. But they find room inside for a minimum of six people, sometimes seven. There's generally not much cargo space. But hey, something has to give.
Into this ballooning fray enters the 2006 Mazda5, a six-passenger vehicle built, believe it or not, on the foundation underlying the company's smaller sedan, the Mazda3. Granted, it has been stretched this way and that, and beefed up here and there, but the lion's share of the mechanicals source directly from that car. Equally telling, the Mazda5 weighs about the same as the Mazda6, but it's more compact than the largest of Mazda's five-passenger sedans. See how the game's played?
The result is one of those esoteric truisms, where the total is better than the sum of its parts. Not great, mind you, but better. Just like a minivan, the Mazda5 really will accommodate six adults, although a couple might have to make some less-than-comfortable adaptations, again, not unlike with some minivans. With the back two rows of seats folded, it'll hold as much or more than a station wagon. And it drives better than either a wagon or a minivan.
The base Mazda5 Sport starts at $17,435, the Touring at $18,350. Tricked out with every available factory option, the Touring lists at less than $22,500. Looked at this way, there's no competition.
Mazda is building the 2006 Mazda5 in one body style, a four-door, six-passenger, small minivan-cum-station wagon. The only engine is a 157-horsepower, 2.3-liter inline four-cylinder. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, a four-speed automatic optional ($900).
The Mazda5 Sport ($17,435) comes with numerous creature comforts provided at no extra cost. Among them: air conditioning; power windows and central locking; four-speaker, multi-source stereo; steering wheel-mounted speed and sound controls; inboard armrests on the middle-row seats; four passenger assist grips; and carpeted floor mats. Cruise control, a tilt-and-telescope steering wheel, power outside mirrors and a six-way adjustable driver's seat with inboard armrest facilitate driver-to-car interfacing. An attractive and durable-looking fabric covers seats and door panels with seat side bolsters and insets wearing contrasting textures. Options include a power moonroof ($700), a moonroof wind deflector ($50), an MP3 player/CD changer ($500), and fog lamps ($250). One option package is offered, comprising an in-dash, six-disc CD changer, rear liftgate spoiler, and side sill extensions ($490).
Mazda5 Touring ($18,950) upgrades include automatic air conditioning; two more speakers and an in-dash, six-disc CD changer; power sliding moonroof; leather cover for the steering wheel; and a combination fold-out table and cargo net bin for the center row of seats. Externally, the mirrors get body-color paint, and the side sill extensions, liftgate spoiler and fog lamps are added. The moonroof wind deflector is still an option ($50). Exclusive to the Touring is an optional DVD-based navigation system ($2,000).
Options across the two-model line include a pearl paint finish ($200), cargo net ($40), heavy duty all-weather floor mats ($60), retractable cargo cover ($40) and wheel locks ($40).
Safety features that come standard on all models include the required dual-action frontal airbags, plus front seat-mounted side-impact airbags for torso protection, and head-protecting side air curtains for all three rows of seats. Also, every seating position gets a three-point seatbelt and an adjustable head restraint. Be sure your passengers use those seatbelts as they're your first line of defense in a crash. The middle and rear seats have child safety seat anchors (LATCH). Antilock brakes (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) come standard.
The Mazda5 looks very much like a shrink-to-fit version of the Mazda MPV, one that has had six grown people belted inside then run through a scalding hot car wash to snuggle up to its occupants' spatial zones. It didn't have to shrink much, as the MPV is one of the smallest minivans and not that much larger than the Mazda5. Only in overall length is the difference between the MPV and Mazda5 significant. The MPV measures eight inches longer, most of that being devoted to cargo, not people. But styling cues, general outlines and silhouettes of the two are very much in synch.
The hood, though expansive, is better proportioned and flows more gracefully into the windshield and A-pillars than the larger MPV's. A single, horizontal bar divides the Mazda5's grille opening and supports the Mazda trademark logo. Fog lamps, when fitted, peer out of oversized recesses outboard of a broad air intake fronted by a crosshatch mesh positioned in the lower half of the wrap-around bumper fascia. Headlight housings slashed into the fenders reach around the sides to touch the front wheel well arches, which are mostly filled by the tires.
From the side, the vista is much busier, although geometrically consistent. A strong wedge influence flares character lines and surface planes from the pinched-down front end rearward to a tall, chopped off, stubby back end rendered even more awkward by a pouting, bulbous rear bumper. Matte black B-pillars and C-pillars play down the height of the glasshouse. Side mirrors attach to the lower half of small, wind wing-shaped quarter windows. Body-color, full-round handles bridge concave circles in the doors. A gentle bulge crossing the doors' lower extremities ties together the blistered fenders. The slots for the sliding side doors' track scar the flanks. The optional side sill extensions create a ground-effect look that somehow works, giving the perspective a more complete, more finished touch.
The liftgate extends well into the rear bumper, removing some visual mass from the back end, as well as easing loading with a low cargo floor. Trendy, clear-lens taillight arrays are stacked on each side of the fixed rear window. The optional spoiler drags the roofline back and out above the rear window, adding a bit of edginess to the Mazda5's mostly egg-shaped rear outline.
Other than the packaging, there's nothing special, or unique, about the 2006 Mazda5's interior. This isn't to discount the packaging. Making room for six adults in a vehicle casting a smaller shadow than the company's five-passenger, Mazda6 sedan is no small achievement. But beyond this, the interior is in line with what's to be expected in a car in the Mazda5's price range.
The dashboard is very minivan-ish, with broad reaches of quality plastic spreading far forward beneath the sharply raked windshield. Symmetrical right and left panels belie the Mazda5's international character, as it's easily re-cobbled for right-hand drive countries. The look is sleek and high tech, but with an odd-looking gash splitting the upper and lower halves of the dash. Air vents shutter like window blinds if the cool or warm air gets too much. Metallic-look plastic trims the center stack, shift console and front door handles. The instrument cluster is pleasantly basic, with eye-catching contrasts between speedometer and supportive gauges. Equally pleasant surprises for a car in this class are the steering wheel-mounted controls for audio and cruise settings. The display screen for navigation system that's optional on the Touring rises out of the dash top above the center stack and offers four angle settings to fight glare. A panel with the system's controls is tacked onto the console on the driver's side of the shift gate.
Audio and climate controls are sublime, with large, round knobs and widely spaced, clearly marked buttons. The navigation system takes some acclimation, what with the controls located down on the shift console, but they're basic enough that the learning curve is relatively short.
Seats are, well, adequate, best in the front row, then losing both comfort and support as you move to the third row. Seat bottoms could be deeper, and bolsters could be more substantive. The driver's seat height adjustment is manual and pivots on the front of the seat bottom. Thus, the higher it's ratcheted, the less leg room it leaves.
Head restraints are adjustable in all three rows, but they, too, diminish in comfort in the second and third rows, especially the rearmost, which are functional, yes, but add nothing to an already minimally accommodating seat. On the other hand, in their lowered position in those two rows they cut so sharply into the upper back anybody sitting there will be sure to adjust them to an effective height just to avoid the pain. And this is a good thing.
Not many adults will want to park for very long in the third row. There's plenty of head room, measuring only 1.4 inches less than that of the Ford Freestyle, another small minivan-cum-station wagon with three rows of seats, and a mere 0.2 inches shy of the Dodge Caravan, a current descendant of the minivan family that created the segment. It's in leg room and hip room that the Mazda5 cramps third-row occupants. It gives up three inches of leg room to both the Freestyle and the Caravan, and a full five inches of hip room to the Freestyle and eight inches to the Caravan. Access to that third row is achieved by yanking on a loop sticking out from between the seat bottom and back and folding the seat bottom forward; then, release a lever on the side and the seat back folds forward. Suffice to say, climbing into the third row is best left to the truly limber and not very tall.
Visibility is good, as expected in a minivan-type transporter. The outside mirrors could be farther forward, as the reason for those faux wind wings is so the track for the front door windows can be far enough back that they'll roll all the way down. The view forward from the second and third row seats is surprisingly unobstructed, thanks to each row being two inches higher than the row in front, and to the positioning of the third row closer to the centerline than either of the front rows.
Climbing in and out is a breez.
Driving Impression
The 2006 Mazda5 is more utilitarian than fun. That said, it's a pleasant car that in some ways delivers more than expected, although coming up a bit short in a few.
Just using the Mazda5 is the best part. It tucks into tight parking spaces, thanks in no small part to a turning circle that bests all the competition by several feet, including the five-passenger Mazda6. Everyday errands are run with a reasonably clear conscience, and without requiring a home equity loan, thanks to miles-per-gallon ratings ranging from the low to mid-20s.
From behind the wheel, the Mazda5 is an OK driver. Steering isn't especially precise, but it has good on-center feel and directional stability. For such a relatively tall car, there's little buffeting from crosswinds or passing trucks. Brakes are solid, with communicative pedal feedback. Throttle tip in can be a bit quicker than expected, especially when accelerating from a stop around a corner. But for the most part, engine response is easily managed.
Speaking of engine response, while the Mazda5 is reasonably peppy with a couple people belted in, load it up with a weekend's worth of yard stuff or with another couple for a night on the town, and movement gets a little sluggish. There's still enough torque to get everything underway with relative ease, but beyond that, evidence of strain emerges. Planning ahead is required for merging on to a freeway or for passing on a two-lane road. All that mass not only explores the brakes' limits, but also shifts the car's balance around, too, converting abrupt evasive moves into exciting moments. Even unloaded, quick left-right-left transitions are best taken no faster than socially responsible rates of travel.
The shift lever on the automatic transmission glides confidently through its gate. The automatic's manual shift mode is faithful to the concept, holding the selected gear regardless of engine speed. Push up to shift down, push down to shift up. The five-speed manual is definitely not a sporty gearbox, requiring careful aiming for gear selections. Clutch engagement is smooth, and pedal take up is neither too light nor too heavy.
Road noise is not especially intrusive, no more so, certainly, than in the Ford Freestyle. Suspension activity is more noticeable, with sharp pavement breaks resonating directly into the cabin, in part due to weight savings that bring the Mazda5 in well under the Freestyle's two tons.
One major complaint must be noted. Failing to fasten the seat belt around grocery bags, or anything of similar mass, placed in the front passenger seat activates the most irritating sequence of reminder beeps that repeat for several minutes before shutting up.
The 2006 Mazda5 is an impressive package for this price point. It seats six yet takes up less space than a minivan and costs less to buy and operate.

Microsoft appears to be on an aggressive marketing path in Brazil when it comes to Windows Phone. Reports have come in stating that Redmond is throwing the Lumia 920 Windows Phone everywhere in the media. Taking full advantage of the array of content aired on television, Microsoft has snapped up multiple advertisement spots around football matches, local soap operas and more.
Here's one of the videos the teams are using around the web and on TV:
The advertisement shows off low-light photography on the Lumia 920 with optical image stabilisation and more. Nokia is hitting the nail on the head when it comes to marketing its products, but it's good to see Microsoft also making an effort, especially in markets such as Brazil.
Have you noticed more Windows Phone advertising recently in the country?
Thanks, Leonardo, for the heads up!

PID World Tour--The Final Performance
Read the Conclusion of McMillan, Weiner and Congiundi's Tour of PID World
Greg McMillan and Stan Weiner bring their wits and more than 66 years of process control experience to bear on your questions, comments, and problems. Write to them at email@example.com.
By Greg McMillan and Stan Weiner
Stan: We conclude our tour of PID world with Mark Congiundi. There are plenty of other attractions, so we encourage our readers to take a road trip, and share their travel experiences in a future "Control Talk" column by contacting Control's managing editor, Nancy Bartels.
Greg: We have seen over and over again in the last three columns how external feedback has been used by Mark to greatly extend the capability of the PID. One point perhaps overlooked in the discussion is that the external feedback signal is added to the output from the proportional and derivative modes after the signal goes through a filter whose time constant is the reset time in the positive feedback method of integral action. This method of implementing reset action is the key that opens the door to an incredible creative spectrum of possibilities.
Stan: What do you do for low controller gain applications or when the external feedback from the secondary loop or final control element (e.g., valve position or drive speed) is inaccurate?
Mark: I simply subtract a "leeway" from the external feedback signal when this feedback is greater than the primary PID output. Otherwise, I add a leeway to the feedback. The normal allowed differential in percent between the PID output and the external feedback is one repeat (percent error multiplied by gain). This technique increases the allowable differential by the leeway. The PID has room to roam with the enhanced external feedback, but is still limited.
Greg: I can see how this would help when valve position feedback is slow from the use of second, third or fourth HART variables for feedback, or inaccurate due to the location or type of positioner feedback mechanism. Actuator shaft rotation for positioner feedback on rotary valves with high friction in the sealing surfaces or backlash in the linkages is not indicative of internal control element (e.g., valve disc or ball) position due to dead band, stick-slip and shaft windup as discussed in "Improve Control Loop Performance." (See the article in our sister publication, Chemical Processing, www.chemicalprocessing.com/articles/2007/200.html.)
Stan: What about abnormal conditions?
Mark: I provide sustained or one-shot easy valve trip action by use of the PID output track mode. Two simple examples are for high level and high pressure. For high level, the flow loop PID output tracks a trip signal until the condition clears. At a lower level, the output is released to the PID for flow control. For high pressure, the flow loop PID tracks the trip signal for a specified pulse time, and is automatically released to flow control.
Greg: I have used a similar one-shot strategy for flow control of phosphorous. When the control valve position would start to drift upwards due to plugging, the PID would track a wide- open signal for a few seconds to sweep out the solids accumulating around the ball and seal, and then go back to flow control. This strategy is useful whenever solids can build up in a valve.
Stan: How do you get smooth control of a cyclic measurement?
Mark: I configure a synchronized, moving average. The cyclic measurement is an input to a series of dead-time blocks. The total dead time of the series of blocks is the period of the cycle. The number of dead-time blocks used depends on the resolution required. The moving averages of each dead-time block for a segment of the period are added together and divided by the number of dead-time blocks to get the synchronized moving average. A perfectly synchronized moving average will reflect the true average accurately in the shortest possible time. The dead times for each block can be updated if the period changes. When the total dead time matches the cycle time, the noise is completely eliminated. In comparison, a filter attenuates, but does not eliminate an oscillation, necessitating the reduction of PID gain to keep the PID output oscillation amplitude from proportional action within the dead band and threshold sensitivity of the final control element.
Greg: This technique would have solved the finisher level control application I faced decades ago in polymer manufacturing. The teeth on the internal rotating drum would pass between the nuclear level source and detector, creating a predictable oscillation in level measurement. Tight level control meant tight residence time control and, therefore, better polymer quality control.
Stan: It is interesting how things change yet remain the same. Despite the PID being the workhorse of the process industry with expanding opportunities, courses and books just scratch the surface of what the PID can do. Advances in the industrial application of the PID by talented individuals are generally lost as they retire. We feel extremely fortunate to have captured some of Mark's knowledge for the benefit of the profession.
Greg: The IFAC conference on Advances in PID Control 2012 in Brescia, Italy, (http://pid12.ing.unibs.it/) is a once-in-a-decade opportunity to learn and share the wealth of PID opportunities. Also check out Mark's and my presentations at ISA Automation Week 2011 in Mobile, Ala. (www.isaautomationweek.org/). I will be doing tutorials on reactor control in the automation track, pH in the environmental track, and wireless control in the wireless control track. All of them will show the power of the PID. Many of the techniques in the tutorials are documented in the chapter "Industrial Applications of PID Control" in the soon-to-be published book by Springer, PID Control in the Third Millennium: Lessons Learned and New Approaches, as noted in my blog post, "PID Unleashed" (http://modelingandcontrol.com/2011/03/pid_unleashed/). This chapter and the ISA tutorials show how external feedback and the enhanced PID can be used for optimization, equipment and environmental protection, and riding out measurement and communication failures.

1959 Article
Ordination of ministers is an act of the church in which the minister-elect (or bishop or deacon) receives confirmation to his office by a ceremony of laying on of the hands of a bishop (elder) and the intercession of the congregation, which gives him the right to lead the congregation in worship and life as pastor, to perform the duties of his office, whatever they may be, to preach the Word of God, to perform marriages, to ordain, to administer baptism and communion, to administer discipline, to administer the alms fund, etc.
Originally and until well into the 19th or even 20th century the Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition everywhere called for an ordination for each level in the ministry, bishop-elder, preacher, or deacon. Hence it was possible for one man to be ordained three times. In Holland formal ordination to all ministerial offices including that of deacon was usual in the 16th and early 17th centuries, and among the Groningen Old Flemish, until ca. 1760, and in a few small conservative groups until the end of the 18th century. But as early as about 1610 the Waterlanders had abolished the laying on of hands for deacons, and by 1665 also for preachers and deacons. But that time the Lamists had also abolished the ordination of deacons. In the 19th century all formal ordination in Holland was discontinued. Since then pastors have been instituted by another minister, usually an older one or a friend. It is customary to ask only whether the new minister will promise to serve the church faithfully. The promise is followed by a prayer. Since c1940 a kind of formal ordination of pastors with laying on of hands has occasionally been reintroduced. In some Mennonite groups in America deacons are no longer ordained. In the mid-20th century the Ohio and Eastern Mennonite Conference decided to have only one ordination with charges to the several offices as they are assumed and as may be necessary.
In the 1950s, normally women were eligible for ordination only among the Dutch Mennonites. However, some Mennonite groups in effect give ordination to women missionaries, and the consecration of deaconesses is akin to ordination.
Ordination normally confers a lifetime status. In the older practice, and still in the more conservative group, ministers removed from office for causes such as heresy, or gross sin, or insubordination, or even for lesser causes, were not considered to have lost their ordination, but to have been "silenced," i.e., no longer allowed to preach, and could be restored to office without reordination. Normally also ministers have been accepted on transfer from other Mennonite bodies or from non-Mennonite denominations without reordination. However, when the Kleine Gemeinde elder in Manitoba, Peter Toews, transferred to the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, in 1882 he and the three ministers who went with him were required to be reordained (also rebaptized). (See Ministry, and Ministry, Call to the.) -- HSB
1989 Article
Ordination is an act by which the church, after appropriate personal and corporate discernment, calls and appoints a person to a leadership ministry in the life and mission of the church. The service of ordination normally includes the laying on of hands, prayer, and other appropriate rituals of commitment and celebration. The church ordains with a sense that it has been so led by God's Spirit and is acting to express God's leading to confirm this gifted person for a particular public and representative ministry in and for the church.
Mennonite nonsacramental assumptions have often created problems for understanding ordination. Mennonites have resisted setting some persons over and above others. They have failed to find in Scripture any explicit teaching or example which could rightly be called ordination, though there are numerous examples of the church affirming persons for ministry and mission. However, Mennonites have chosen leaders for the church and in doing so they have followed a variety of patterns which they have called ordination, often following the examples of other Christians.
One view of leadership in the New Testament is based on 1 Timothy where three terms are used: deacons, elders, and bishops. While the terminology has often changed, the larger Christian community has affirmed over and over again this basic threefold ministry. In Anabaptist and Mennonite history this same threefold ministry has emerged repeatedly at various times and in diverse ways as the pattern for the church's leadership.
Broadly conceived, the bishop ministry is that of oversight covering a group of churches in a given geographical area; the elder ministry is that of a leader-preacher within a congregation; the deacon ministry is a lay ministry of service within the congregation and to the community.
In North America, the Mennonite Church (MC) has called for an ordination for each type of ministry: deacon, preacher, bishop, and hence it was possible for one person to be ordained three times in that sequence. The General Conference Mennonite Church often followed a similar pattern, though not in the same order. Persons giving pastoral leadership and preaching were first ordained as ministers and only later as full elders which then included the right to lead in administering the sacraments (ordinances). Deacons were sometimes ordained though not always. Generally the General Conference Mennonite Church did not have bishops, though in parts of the church the elders (Ältester) functioned in a similar capacity of oversight. The Mennonite Brethren Church brought to North America a pattern of ordaining elders, ministers, and deacons as a part of a multiple lay ministry. With the transition to a trained and paid pastor, the elder system of leadership declined both in the United States and Canada. The Mennonite Brethren Church continues to ordain people for the ministry of the gospel calling for a lifelong commitment.
The latter half of the 20th century has seen considerable change in understanding ministry and ordination among North American Mennonites. In the Mennonite Church there has been a gradual decline in the ordination of bishops, vesting the responsibility of oversight in conference ministers and overseers. In the General Conference Mennonite Church there was a major process in each decade extending over five decades responding to changing understandings. Perhaps most significant was the change to a single ordination as elder during the 1950s and 1960s. Out of concern for the increasing diversity among Mennonite Brethren ministers, there was a proposal in 1951 to establish a Board of Elders to unify the calling and training of ministers, but it failed to gain adequate support.
Among Canadian Mennonites particularly and to a lesser degree in the United States, there has been and continues to be a strong commitment to lay ministry. Such persons who earn their living in other vocations are ordained for ministry and often have given lifelong leadership in congregations. At present there is a strong reaffirmation of this lay ministry heritage, but more often such persons serve alongside of the professional pastor. In some groups there is discussion of changing ordination to commissioning for lay ministry, especially where such leadership may be limited by time, place, or a particular ministry position.
A major change among North American Mennonites has been the growing openness to the ordination of women within the General Conference Mennonite Church and the Mennonite Church; the Mennonite Brethren Church at the present time (1987) does not accept women for ordination, though the issue continues to be discussed. In 1974 the General Conference Mennonite Church passed a resolution on ordination which committed the church to "Affirming that in Christ there is neither male nor female and that God is no respecter of persons, neither race nor class, nor sex should be considered barriers in calling a minister." In 1987 44 women were in licensed or ordained ministry positions in the General Conference Mennonite Church, either as pastors or as chaplains. In the Mennonite Church the issue is being debated on an area conference basis. Half of the conferences are ready to ordain women, and 34 women are serving in licensed or ordained ministerial leadership positions in the Mennonite Church. Included in the above numbers are 14 women who serve in dual-affiliated congregations (1987).
The 1980s saw again much discussion concerning the understanding of ordination among North American Mennonites. Among Mennonite Brethren the discussion centered in their seminary community, Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary of Fresno, Cal. In the Mennonite Church there were a series of consultations and documents: "Leadership and authority in the life of the church" (1981) and "Consultation on ordination" (1986). The General Conference Committee on the Ministry gave leadership also in 1986 to a consultation to evaluate a document "Ordinal: ministry and ordination in the General Conference Mennonite Church." As a result of the two consultations in 1986, there was a strong sense of convergence in understanding ordination and a process was begun for these two groups to develop a common polity statement on ministry and ordination. In addition to the consensus around the overarching threefold ministry tradition (oversight, pastor-special ministries, and lay ministry), there is an agreement in the use of terminology (licensing, ordination and commissioning). Licensing is an initial approval for ministry, given to a candidate for ordination. The short time of one or two years of licensed ministry is understood as a period for testing and discernment by the candidate and the church as to whether or not ministry can be confirmed in ordination. Ordination is a rite of the church giving approval for ministry within and for the church; it is understood as a long-term ongoing commitment to ministerial leadership. Commissioning is an approval for ministry which is limited to a particular time or term, or limited to a particular place or task. It may be the appropriate approval for those serving the church as lay ministers.
Discussion continued in the 1980s in several Mennonite denominations around other issues related to ordination. (1) Should ordination be seen in a strongly functional manner -- for persons assigned specific tasks or because of their special gifts, or should ordination invest in the person a representational quality of the position of leadership for the church? Related to this question is the issue of whether ordination has to do with "being" or only with "doing." (2) What is the place of ordination for those in so-called special ministries: chaplains, pastoral counselors, administrators of church institutions, etc.? There is generally a strong sense that chaplains should be viewed as the church's ministry in the world and that they are therefore appropriately considered a part of ordained ministry. But there is less clarity about others. (3) Is ordination for life or is it limited by actual functioning in a ministry role? In a time of changing vocations, should ordination at least be voluntarily laid aside when one no longer serves in the church's ministry? (4) Is ordination tied to professional ministry (training, vocational commitment and accountability) or should ordination be granted to a broader group of leadership persons in congregations'? (5) Is ordination the responsibility of each separate congregation, or should the church carry out ordination in a more connectional system of congregations, area conferences and denomination? Issues of authority and accountability are being widely discussed. (6) What is the authority for the termination of ordination in cases of moral failure or substantial theological digression?
In the ferment around ordination there continues to be a strong commitment among Anabaptist-Mennonites of the need for effective leadership within the church. Thus ordination continues to be used (1) in recognizing the personal gifts of leadership, (2) by offering the privilege and the responsibility to exercise that leadership in a representative position for the church, and (3) for providing boundary clarity for the respective roles and functions of clergy and laity. -- JAE

Patrick Kane arrested for allegedly beating cabbie 'over 20 cents'…
Read on, here.
Rumor is, he didn't want to give this guy his spare change either.
UPDATE: The cabbie's lawyer is downplaying the incident, apparently. More info here. Details are still pretty sketchy.
26 Responses to "Patrick Kane arrested for allegedly beating cabbie 'over 20 cents'…"
If you listen to the cabbie's interview, apparently he had no idea who Kane was.. and Kane was shouting at him "Do you even know who I am?!" while punching him. Maybe that's a sign Kane wants to play in the limelight..
my dad was joking about going to a game next season when chicago is here with a sign that says hey patrick, I have 20 cents if you need it.
Or something along those lines…..I was surprised when I heard this. He sure doesn't look like the type to beat and rob a cabbie! haha
Wow, it even was on the swedish news (NHL-news, especially those not involving a swedish player, are very rare)!
Kane is such a good hockey player, but he is such a fooooooool too.
PS: Visit my NHL draft simulation site: nhl.draftsim.com
Wow Racki, that pic is gold. Gold I tell you!
Ha ha ha. Laughs. If Kane wants to be known throughout the league, it's certainly for the wrong reasons now.
"Yeah, you're the cheap bastard who beats on cabbies for nikels…"
Totally unacceptable behavior towards a cabbie by anyone, let alone someone with the "celebrity" status of Kane. I'd venture a guess the cabbie works harder for his change than Kane does. 20 cent is a good name for him though, I like it. I know the economy is in the shitter right now, but I really don't think he's feeling it.
I doubt the full story will ever come out. There will be some kind of agreement that will likely cost Kane a good deal more than 20 cents out of pocket.
I'd like to say common sense should have kicked in for Kane, but I've been in cabs at 4am before myself, and usually common sense gets left behind and has to find it's own way home.
I'm skeptical too. The cab driver sounded like a fruit loop to me. His story sounds a little fabricated.
I have been in a cab at 4am and gotten beligerent before, but I've also gotten rides from some cabbies who try to screw drunk people over for cash and are quite beligerent themselves.
Cab drivers have probably the most thankless job, but some cab drivers give bad names for all cabbies.
In any case though, Pat Kane beat the shit out of a cab driver and now he has to pay.
even if Patrick Kane was drunk at the time, i don't think that will help him if the cab driver takes him to court
I am guessing that this incident ends with Patrick Kane writing a check to the cab driver for some undisclosed amount.

Murphy's still acting strangely. He keeps having these strange little sessions where he becomes frantic for either me or my husband, he wants to climb on us and press as close as he can, leaning right into us. He acts as though he's scared of something, and his heart really starts to go. It's very scary just how fast his heart seems to get.
He hasn't done it in a a few weeks, definitely not since he was MRI'd, and started on Cimetidine, but he did it yesterday about lunch time, last night at bed time he freaked out, and about half an hour ago. The Neurologist wasn't sure if the behavior had anything to do with his early stages of SM or not, and if I'm honest I don't know what to think either. I did at one point brush is behavior off as his misbehaving, but after the third time it happened I didn't think it was. It's now happened about 11 times, with 7 or 8 of them being at night when he goes to bed.
The thing is it's very windy here right now, and I tried to get him outside for a pee, Misty went straight out, but Murphy turned around and ran for the living room. The letter box keeps rattling now, and this is really upsetting him(off to stuff it closed) but both of these behaviors are so different to what he's normally like. I'm waiting for the vet to call me back, but he's now sitting panting as well. Something is obviously wrong with him, and I feel so frustrated not knowing what! Hoping the vets calls soon.

Basic Linux Tips and Tricks, Part 1
Who This Article Serves
This article is intended for people who have some computer expertise, even if it's Windows-only. At a minimum, you should be comfortable with the MS-DOS command line in Windows and have done a bit of Windows Registry editing to give you some experience with configuration files.
If you're totally unfamiliar even with the MS-DOS command line, you need to find in-person help of the sort this article can't provide; I recommend finding a local Linux User Group by either posting on Craigslist or checking the bulletin boards at a local college in the Computer Science department to find people to walk you through the basics and provide in-person handholding if you need it.
You should also get a For Dummies book or similar novice-oriented information for your specific distribution.
This article is largely specific to Debian and it's derivative distributions (usually called "distros") like Ubuntu, though the principles should serve users of RPM-based distros (i.e., Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, openSUSE, or SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop/Server).
This article is not a full treatment of Linux troubleshooting. A full treatment of Linux troubleshooting would be a rather long book, even if it were distro-specific.
What's here are some notes on resources and methods I've found useful in the last three years in keeping my systems running, to give novices some idea what to do once one gets "under the hood" of one's computer at a application/OS level. I emphasize the information one generally needs immediately when something goes wrong that you don't want to spend hours looking for, assuming you know you need that specific information.
In most cases, the truth is out there, most often in a canned solution you can use and find via Web search. Less often, you'll have to ask via forum or via mailing list.
Sometimes, there is no good answer. For instance, if nobody has written a driver for a printer or scanner, for instance, you're outta luck and your option is to do without, find a peripheral that is supported, find somebody willing to write a driver, or write it yourself.
But even this can be an improvement on waiting for MS to come up with a solution for a Windows environment. You've heard of Vista?
In general, the best way to stay out of trouble in Linux is to research any hardware you were thinking of buying for a Linux box or the box itself to make sure somebody somewhere has a Linux driver for it before buying.
Though I regard running a Debian-based distro as helpful in staying out of trouble, apt-based packaging results in more reliable and easier to use program installation than rpm based packaging. The rpm-based installation package is something Red Hat has said it will fix so hopefully, this situation will change in future.

.... and it cost Uncle Mike a crossbow bolt!
So my little girl and I met my Brother and his daughter at the range to shoot his crossbow. I wanted to have her shoot the crossbow to see if she could do well enough to hunt this fall. Well, her first shot was 1 inch above the small piece of tape she was aiming at and within the first 10 shots, she robin-hooded these two with the impact point again within an inch or so of the spot. She did great, I think only one or two bolts would have been marginal hits on a deer. We will practice a few more times but I think she's ready. I can't wait to take her hunting in a couple months!

The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) revealed recently that it is releasing water from both Lake Buchanan and Lake Travis at the same time. It is the first time in seven years such action has been necessary for downstream use, according to a June 25 press release.
According to news reports, LCRA is taking such dramatic action to provide water to downstream rice farmers and electric utilities. Both lakes are already at dangerously low levels. Dry islands are popping up in both lakes as the levels are reduced.
Under the regional water project that has recently come into dispute between LCRA and San Antonio Water System (SAWS), this action would not be necessary in the future.
The LCRA/SAWS project would guarantee that lake levels remained well above average conditions and would create abundant additional water for downstream users, negating the need to release additional water from the Highland Lakes.
Under the proposal, SAWS would have invested more than $2 billion in conservation infrastructure, downstream reservoirs, and other efforts, creating more than 180,000 new acre-feet of water exclusively for the Colorado River basin, before any water was sent to San Antonio.
According to LCRA's own internal reports, lake levels in both Buchanan and Travis will be lower during drought conditions without the LCRA/SAWS regional water project.
"This is exactly what the project was designed to help the Highland Lakes avoid," said Chuck Ahrens, vice president of water resources at SAWS. "The studies show that with conservation investments, reservoirs, and other efforts, lake levels would be protected and sufficient water provided for users up and down the Colorado River."
Instead, water from the Highland Lakes is being released for downstream power plants. Future coal-fired plants include White Stallion, a highly controversial plant proposed near Matagorda Bay.
Under the LCRA/SAWS project, the city of San Antonio would receive water from LCRA only after conservation infrastructure was already in place to protect lake levels – levels six feet higher on Lake Buchanan and 18 feet higher on Lake Travis.
"The LCRA/SAWS regional water project is good for the city of Austin, the Highland Lakes, the entire Colorado River basin, and the city of San Antonio," said Ahrens. "The Highland Lakes do not need to be drained to meet downstream demand because the scientific studies show that the LCRA/SAWS regional water project will work."
Since 1992, San Antonio Water System has provided leadership in managing and developing water resources in the San Antonio region. Water and wastewater services are provided to more than 1 million consumers in the San Antonio area.

From Oppression to Redemption: A Reexamination of Illuminated Sephardic Haggadot in Thirteenthand Fourteenth-Century Spain
Chianello, Maria K.
MetadataShow full item record
Chianello, Maria K.
This thesis examines the scholarship of one era of Jewish history, thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Spain, through the lens of the illuminated Haggadot that were produced during that period. This type of Haggadah, beautifully decorated with narrative biblical scenes and non-narrative decoration, did not exist as an independent book, with or without illuminations, before the thirteenth century, despite its significant role in the family Passover seder. Scholars seek to understand the circumstances in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Spain that prompted Jewish patrons to commission these expensive books. Past scholarship traces the iconographic and stylistic sources of the imagery in the illuminated Sephardic Haggadot but does not consider the social, political, theological, or cultural context of these manuscripts, nor the meaningful story they have to tell about Jewish culture from this period. However, three recent scholars, Katrin Kogman-Appel, Marc Michael Epstein, and Michael Batterman, do examine the illuminated Spanish Haggadot, in part, as sources of cultural and historical information. The present study summarizes and critiques their recent works to assess how successfully their approaches expand our understanding of these unique manuscripts and the medieval Spanish culture in which they were produced. My thesis concludes by setting forth avenues of approach that deserve more attention in the analysis of the illuminated Sephardic Haggadot. The impact of anti-Semitism in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Spain on the production of illuminated Haggadot is particularly crucial to unlocking their mysteries. The situation for Jews in this period was precarious; taking into account the anti-Jewish laws, propaganda, and works of art as well as the Christian populace's hatred of Jews is necessary to unveiling the specific agendas of the patrons who commissioned the illuminated Haggadot. Only with a fresh outlook on Jewish art scholarship and a thorough analysis of each Haggadah in its historical and cultural contexts can scholars begin to understand the appearance and disappearance of the illuminated Haggadot from medieval Spain.

Fact Sheet
The Role of STD Detection and Treatment in HIV Prevention
April 10, 2008
Testing and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can be an effective tool in preventing the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. An understanding of the relationship between STDs and HIV infection can help in the development of effective HIV prevention programs for persons with high-risk sexual behaviors.
What is the link between STDs and HIV infection?
Individuals who are infected with STDs are at least two to five times more likely than uninfected individuals to acquire HIV infection if they are exposed to the virus through sexual contact. In addition, if an HIV-infected individual is also infected with another STD, that person is more likely to transmit HIV through sexual contact than other HIV-infected persons (Wasserheit, 1992).
There is substantial biological evidence demonstrating that the presence of other STDs increases the likelihood of both transmitting and acquiring HIV.
How can STD treatment slow the spread of HIV infection?
Evidence from intervention studies indicates that detecting and treating STDs may reduce HIV transmission.
What are the implications for HIV prevention?
Strong STD prevention, testing, and treatment can play a vital role in comprehensive programs to prevent sexual transmission of HIV. Furthermore, STD trends can offer important insights into where the HIV epidemic may grow, making STD surveillance data helpful in forecasting where HIV rates are likely to increase. Better linkages are needed between HIV and STD prevention efforts nationwide in order to control both epidemics.
In the context of persistently high prevalence of STDs in many parts of the United States and with emerging evidence that the U.S. HIV epidemic increasingly is affecting populations with the highest rates of curable STDs, the CDC/HRSA Advisory Committee on HIV/AIDS and STD Prevention (CHAC) recommended the following:
CHAC also notes that early detection and treatment of STDs should be only one component of a comprehensive HIV prevention program, which also must include a range of social, behavioral, and biomedical interventions.

Avaire flooring is as easy to remove as it is to install! A couple things to consider. Doing floor prep to ensure the floor is level will have to be done with something like roofing felt paper built up in multiple layers to fill low areas, aslo when grouting the grout will go beyond the tabs to the floor so some type of liner would have to be placed below the tile, you could use the same felt paper that you used for leveling. With any floating floor It's best to undercut door casings, but if you want to return the floor to it's original condition when you move you'll have to cut around the casings and fill the gap with caulk.
When you remove the tile just cut out some of the grout and pry the tile apart. Let me know if you have more questions.Thanks

Apartment living

I live in a rental apartment with ugly vinyl flooring. I would like to install Avaire tile but need to know if I will be able to uninstall when I move out. I'm not so much concerned about preserving the Avaire tiles as much as I am concerned about preserving the ugly vinyl underneath, as it is rented, afterall.
Any input?

Have you been yet? Have you seen it? There aren't that many movies I'm looking forward to this summer--outside of Harry Potter and The Bourne Ultimatum--but for this one I had my tickets ready on opening day.
I'm talking of course about Spiderman 3, the sequel to--um--Spiderman 2 and--uh--Spiderman 1. Having enjoyed the first two movies I was hopped up to see the latest installment and neither Andrew or I were disappointed.
I'd heard a few negative things from the critics: that the plot was fragmented, that it was too long and I can see why they'd say that but regardless I liked it. I've already established why Spiderman is so much cooler than other superheroes and the movies follow the same formula, Spiderman is likable because he's an everyman.
Toby McGuire isn't a plastic-looking hunky statue but a common-looking nearly-nerd that spends most of his screen time with his eyes wide open in puzzled disbelief. Well, except for scenes where he's blessed with an extraordinary amount of eyeliner and bad lighting (have to see it to see what I mean).
Spiderman's bad guys are also sympathetic characters--I can't help but feel sorry for poor Doctor Octopus. I mean if you'd had giant artificial-intelligence-filled-mechanical arms attach themselves to your spinal column and had inadvertently killed the woman you love in a fit of mad-scientist-crazed rage wouldn't you be an emotional mess? Or gosh, look at poor Sandman--a common petty crook (and not even a very successful petty crook at that) who is just misunderstood and trying to save his poor dying daughter. If, while running from law enforcement's attempts to send you back to prison late one night, you inadvertently stepped into an unguarded molecular transmogrifier run by supermodel nuclear physicists and had your molecules rearranged I'd be shedding plenty of tears for your pitiable circumstances.
I feel sorry for The Sandman and Venom and The Hobgoblin. Heck, I even felt some compassion towards J. Jonah Jameson--for one brief second. Even the women in Spidey's life are sweet and lovable. How could Peter possibly choose between Gwen Stacy's brains, Betty Brant's cheek or M.J.'s style? No wonder he's sticking with Aunt May because which could choose? Even Ursula Ditkovitch, the landlord's daughter, is a cutie (who happens to completely remind me of my sweet sister-in-law Becca--no lie, the spittin' image and just as sweet).
But I'm rambling. The bottom line is, the movie is long but it's not too long. There are scenes in the middle that are so painfully embarrassing for our poor hero that I had to watch them through my fingers, but that's not the same thing. The plot is somewhat fragmented, but then that's because you've got several really cool villains that have to be introduced. Let me emphasize that, they're really cool.
The battle/fight sequence at the end (and I'm not giving anything away here--you knew there would be one right?) is better than anything in the previous two and the way things evolve at the end between the characters and plot pieces is great. Loved it. And my boys will be gratified to know that their expertise in Spiderman's history paid off because they called the plot exactly. Well done boys.
Now the question is: can you spot Stan Lee's (the creator of Spiderman) cameo?

You make it almost tempting. But one Spiderman satisfied my curiosity. I think it relates back to my low threshold for comic books. I have come to the conclusion that there are comic book personalities and and there are non comic book personalities. But I enjoyed reading about your enjoyment of the movie; and I'm glad you are not a spoiler.
Side note: I have been enjoying "Poppy Fields" blog. Thanks for the introduction.
- Melissa R. Garrett said...
Am I, perhaps, the only one who has not seen any of the Spiderman movies? But I agree with g's cottage ~ reading your review made it all the more tempting ;-)
- Babystepper said...
I have this problem with super-hero movies. They never get the girl. Not really. I can't stand that. Here's this poor hapless female, desperately in love or whatever, and weirdoboy is off saving the world. I don't watch romances either, don't get me wrong, but there was too much romantic angst in the first two Spiderman movies for me. I don't think I can take any more.
- dcrmom said...
Thanks for the recap! I have not been to a movie theater in YEARS. No joke. I think I might break out of the hole I've been living in and go see Spiderman. sounds like one the hubby and I might both enjoy.
- mcewen said...
I heard a couple of reviews on the radio and the consensus of opinion was that instead on having the consensus of one director it seemed as if it had been put together by a committee. But that's art critics for you.
As for the target audience? I don't think we'll be hearing many complaints.
- Lisa Milton said...
We are going today. I can't wait. Glad to hear you liked it - the reviews were iffy.
But I am devout in my Peter Parker adoration I guess.
- my4kids said...
I can't wait to see the movie myself and Izzak is very excited that his uncle is taking him to it today.
- Thea said...
Oh man, I can't believe you've seen it already. Cool. I can't wait to see this one and I think looking for Stan Lee is half the fun!
- Anonymous said...
I pride myself on my ability to spot Stan Lee. Can't wait to see it!
As for the girl factor, I'll stick with Gwen, partially because she's the most pitiable because her death was so, so unfair.
- Jenny McB said...
The Stan Lee cameo was easy in this one. Saw the movie yesterday and enjoyed it.
But from what I could gather, they really didn't set up anything for a fourth, or did I miss something?
I tagged you over at my blog...10 interesting things about yourself.
- Alexandra said...
Dh, ds and his friend are going to see it tomorrow.
- An Ordinary Mom said...
Since DH is still in grad school, we can't get out to the movies very often. However, I am looking forward to this coming out on DVD!
- Anonymous said...
hey scribbit: i loved watching this movie. i think i liked this one better than the first two. and petey as a goth kinda cracked me up (and this is coming from someone who thinks goth looks sooo stupid).
yes, i did spot the cameo of stan lee. it was cute and brief how they had him stand next to petey briefly on the street saying some cute brief line.
and scribbet, you really nailed it how you described sandman -- you worded that sentence about him just wild.
~take care :) kathleen
- jchevais said...
I really liked this movie too.
The ending kicked ass.
- Kelly said...
Can't wait to see it.
Love that you loved it.
When I was a little girl, I just knew I was going to grow up to marry Peter Parker. He was the coolest.
And isn't this the last Spiderman movie? (Hence, no setup for a fourth?) Someone told me yesterday Stan Lee only intended to make a trilogy.
- Carrie J said...
The angst in Spiderman is what I love about it. Spidey wouldn't be nearly as cool if he was rich and suave like Bruce Wayne or confident like Clark Kent. Just knowing that he is stumbling around sometimes makes him easier to identify with. The angst that all the villans have makes them more sympathetic characters. Just when you feel sorry for them they do something frightful.
I liked the movie but not as much as the first two. I can't think of the embrassing part without humming Staying Alive. Ah, Ah, Ah,Ah... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

A 20-year-old gang member was arrested Thursday after a compliance search of his Tujunga home yielded a Taser, which violates his probation.
Alejandro Cisneros was taken into custody at his home on Samoa Avenue in Tujunga on suspicion of violating terms of his post-release community supervision, which forbids him from having any weapons, including a Taser, said Glendale Police Det. Jeffrey Davis.
"He's about the business," Davis said, adding that Cisneros was convicted of transporting drugs while in jail on another charge.
But crimes involving people tied to the Glendale-based gang, Toonerville, have dropped significantly since a 2009 injunction — which prohibits those listed in the order, including Cisneros, from associating with each other and engaging in gang-related activities — was imposed in an area that includes South Glendale, officials said.
Cisneros, who has the gang's name tattooed on his chest, was recently released from prison after serving a sentence for possessing a weapon, said police officials, who travel outside Glendale to track down gang members with ties to the city.
The gang claims Glendale, northeast Los Angeles and Tujunga as its territory.
Despite the drop-off in recent Toonerville activity, Glendale police say they continue to tap the injunction to curb the gang's movement.
"It's a valuable tool," Davis said of the injunction.
Offenses involving Toonerville gang members in Tujunga have also dipped since the court order, said Det. John Weiler of the Los Angeles Police Department's Foothill Division.
"It's definitely decreased because we were able to arrest a lot of people" as a result of the injunction, he said.
While police officers have seen some gang activity in the area, Weiler said it's not out of ordinary.
On Thursday, an apartment building next to Cisneros' home was sprayed with Toonerville graffiti.
Glendale police on Thursday also had planned to serve another alleged gang member with the court order, which forbids those listed in the injunction from going to Glendale's Palmer Park and Chevy Chase Park just across the Los Angeles border.
The injunction also forbids the alleged gang members from hanging out with other members of the same gang, having weapons and graffiti tools in public view, using lookouts, selling or possessing drugs, trespassing, loitering and intimidating people who live and work within the so-called Los Angeles River-Glendale safety zone.
Those named in the injunction must also obey a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily curfew.
Violating the order is a misdemeanor, and can fetch up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine.

Kings blank Sharks to draw first blood
Los Angeles, CA – Jonathan Quick posted 35 saves to notch his second shutout of the postseason and backstop the defending champion Los Angeles Kings' 2-0 whitewashing of the San Jose Sharks in Game 1 of this Western Conference semifinal series at Staples Center.
Quick recorded his fifth career playoff shutout in Game 3 of the Kings' first- round victory over the St. Louis Blues and fought off 16 shots in the final frame Tuesday to help the Kings draw first blood against the Sharks.
Slava Voynov and Mike Richards registered a goal and an assist apiece for the Kings, who have won 11 straight games at Staples Center and have home-ice advantage in a playoff series for the first time since 1992.
"It felt weird to be honest with you, but it is what it is," Kings forward Anze Kopitar said of starting a series at home. "It's nice to have home ice and it's nice to stay home an extra day, but we realize that we're going to have to do it on the road at some point too."
Antti Niemi allowed both goals on 20 shots for the sixth-seeded Sharks, who turned in a four-game sweep of the Northwest Division-champion Vancouver Canucks in the opening round.
"We have to find ways to score," San Jose coach Todd McLellan said. "We have to make it a lot harder on them. And did we generate some chances? Yes, but we didn't win the game."
Game 2 of this series is scheduled for Thursday in Los Angeles.
An evenly-played first period found the teams locked in a scoreless tie late in the stanza, but the Kings broke through in the finale minute of the frame to jump in front.
San Jose won a faceoff cleanly in the LA zone, but Richards came up with the puck and charged down the right wing before stopping just inside the San Jose zone.
Richards then touched the puck to a trailing Voynov, who rifled a heavy slapper from the right circle that sailed past Niemi to make it 1-0 with 12.9 ticks left in the period.
After killing off a hooking minor against Kopitar near the midpoint of the second, LA doubled its edge at the 12:30 mark when Voynov flipped a shot on net from the right point that deflected off the leg of Richards and skipped past the right pad of Niemi for a 2-0 lead.
That was all the offense LA would need, as Quick kept the Sharks off the board with 27 saves over the final 40 minutes to complete the shutout.
Game Notes
This marks just the second postseason meeting between these two Pacific Division rivals. The Sharks got the best of the Kings in six games during the 2011 conference quarterfinals ... The last time LA hosted a playoff series was in the 1992 division semifinals against the Edmonton Oilers. The Kings lost that series in six games ... When winning Game 1, the Kings have won 10 of 16 series ... Quick's six career playoff shutouts are a franchise record ... Quick has 25 career playoff wins to move within one of Kelly Hrudey for the club record.
