Urban Ecology Of A Stolen Cyclocross Bike
Two years ago, I started bike commuting to Arizone State University (six miles each way) after not having ridden in a decade. I decided to get a versatile cyclocross bike. It could be easily converted between a road, touring, commuter and light duty mountain bike. While cyclocross is one of the fastest growing sports in America, 'cross bikes are still fairly rare. I starting racing in a local race series with about 50 other people, got hooked and was interested in getting a faster race bike. About 10-50 bikes are listed on the Phoneix Craigslist every day, but a 'cross bike only appears every week or two, and it was never the right size or what I was looking for. So, I started upgrading and customizing my bike over two years, while putting about 5000 miles on it.
Then it got stolen, a comedy of errors ensued, and all was amazingly resolved in less than 24 hours.

Shake-up in St. Louis: What's going on with Catholic Charities?
I've worked in enough offices to know that when someone leaves suddenly with no explanation, it is never a good sign. And when three top executives suddenly resign at the same time, well, that's a really bad sign.
So when I heard the news that the president, chief operating officer, and chief financial officer of Catholic Charities [1] of the Archdiocese of St. Louis all left the organization last week [2], I didn't find it to be encouraging news for the church's top social service agency. The departed employees aren't talking to the media--at least for now--and the archdiocese would only say it is a "personnel matter" [3] and that they have no further comment. So officially, we have no idea what happened.
But a closer look reveals that signs of internal strife have been visible for a while. As Tim Townsend reported in 2010 [4], things seemed to get messy after Cardinal Raymond Burke left St. Louis in 2008 to take his current post at the Vatican and Bishop Robert Hermann took over as interim head of the archdiocese. Hermann started looking into some concerns about fundraising for Catholic Charities, and both executives and board members started to quit rather quickly.
Thomas Mulhearn, who at the time had been president of the agency for two years, resigned in February 2009. Msgr. Mark Ullrich took over as president and only lasted until December 2009 before he quit, too. During Ullrich's presidency, current St. Louis archbishop Robert Carlson replaced Hermann and tried to smooth things over. Carlson appointed vicar general Msgr. Vernon Gardin to temporarily run the agency in 2010 before hiring Brian O'Malley as president in June of that year. You'd need a scorecard to keep track of all those changes.
And now three years later, O'Malley was among the three top executives to walk out. Catholic Charities veteran Jack Lally has been named interim president while a search is underway for a full-time replacement, who will (counting the interim presidents) be the sixth person to head the agency in five years.
One thing that hasn't changed during these years is the need among Catholic Charities' clients. People in the city, like many other parts of the country, are hit hard by poverty [5] and are struggling to stay afloat [6] while affording basic necessities like housing. Catholic Charities serves 155,000 people [7] each year and has an annual operating budget of $87.9 million, but according to their 2012 fiscal year numbers, revenue dropped by nearly $7 million [8] in just one year. I doubt that big of a loss and the resignation of three top officials are a coincidence.
In my encounters with people serving in Catholic Charities offices around the country, I've seen firsthand how they can be tireless advocates for the poor and the struggling, going to great lengths to help wherever their is a need. We may never find out what's been going on behind the scenes in St. Louis, but hopefully this latest round of changes is the last and the organization can end its internal issues. It is time they got back to putting all their energy into what Catholic Charities does best: serving those in need in the name of the gospel.

!IMPORTANT!: I've recently started up an LJ community (that will spread past LJ, I assure you) to write a collaborated HP fanfic. Now, I know that you all are Twilight readers and probably wouldn't want to be involved in writing that fic but here's what I was thinking about: A Twilight Collaborated Fanfiction. It'll be the same general idea as the Harry Potter one, only...It'll be Twilight instead. If you'd like information to get an idea of what it would be like and if enough people would like to help out then I'd LOVE to start it up! Information on what it would be like can be found collaboratefic on LJ. Just go to and enter " collaborationfic" in the username search bar. Everything on that site will be the same as the Twilight one if I start it. The only change will be the fanmix part. Anywhoz, have fun reading and let me know if you enjoyed it! (: Disclaimer: If I owned it, it'd be more sappy and less interesting. XD And Trapt owns the song. If you'd like to hear it, PM me and I'll send you a link to hear it. :]
1. Mutualism
Rating 0/5 Word Count 1693 Review this Chapter
1.a relationship between two species of organisms in which both benefit from the association.
It's hard to trust a stranger, but you're a stranger to yourself so who's to blame?
Drown away emotion, as you numb yourself from any real pain.
I am not a socialite. If I am anything, I am mildly introverted. That's why it was strange when I approached Bella and even stranger when she approached me so many months later. She was difficult to understand; an enigma with no definite answer. My brain was reminding me of the dangers of getting close to her. She was back and forth; warming up to me one moment and dancing with Edward Cullen the very next. My heart was telling me to trust her this time -to give myself a chance to grow closer to her, to understand her and let her understand me.
But it was hard to trust someone you know very little about. She was practically a stranger -a painfully beautiful stranger. I realized later that she really was just a beautiful stranger -even to herself- and when she came to me that day she was looking for an escape from his escape, I could not deny her. She was searching desperately for a way to separate herself for the reality of her life crumbling to pieces around her like the paint on the walls of an Victorian house long left to rot. It was spiraling, spiraling around her like the wicked winds of a tornado in Spring and catching her up in it's fierceness.
I was her escape; the latter against a burning building, the closet to hide in the boogyman just won't seem to go away and your parents just won't seem to hurry up, the long-sleeved shirt to cover the bruises on your arms, the lock on the door to keep away robber and the loud music to drown out the fighting.
I realize now that I played the same part as the morphine she'd gotten after her accident in Phoenix. I numbed her pain.
There's nothing more real, and nothing's what it seems.
We're always caught in between!
There's nothing left to feel, but still you can not leave.
You don't know what you need.
The feeling of her standing so close to me in that crowed workshop was warmer than anything I'd ever felt before. It was close and comforting and addictive. I dreaded the days I knew she wasn't coming and I walked with my head held higher on the days when I knew she was. I still didn't know what had brought along the change; still didn't understand the sudden recklessness or desperation for danger but I was okay with not knowing. I would live with not knowing forever if she would still keep coming back.
That was the problem though, wasn't it? She did keep coming back. Back and back and back again until I was so sure... She had me so convinced that it was something special. Sure, it had started with just fixing the bikes but we had grown close. I'd fallen so hard for her and for so long I thought that she had, too. I was ready to wait for her to get over him. I was willing to accept that it would take time and energy and almost everything I had to convince her that she was so much better off without him but...
She'd left when he'd returned. There was no backward glance, only a mumbled apology and the swinging of a door. It swung on it's hinges for minutes after. The force of her pull and the force of it's collision with the wall was momentous. For hours, the ticking of the clock on the kitchen wall was my only company. And I wondered, where was my escape?
I'd given up on her loving me more than she loved him. I'd passed up the idea that she may care for me the same profound manner as she did for him. I accepted her lack of devotion for me. However, I would not give up my love for her. I refused to let her make her a choice that could easily be the downfall of her glorious existence.
People die everyday and with ever death is a small group of people who suffer tremendously and a larger group of people who mourn their loss but there was no doubt in my mind that the entire world would feel the skip of their heart when Bella left the world. In fact, I live my life dreading the moment when I know that all chances of saving her are gone but at that moment, I refused to be introverted. She was blinded by his allure and I felt that as person who loved her with every inch of his being, it was my job to assure that she get what she needed.
Even if she had no idea what that was.
And I know that you use me to use you.
Maybe we were using each other in a way. I was using her need for my own gratification while she used my skill for her own. Maybe that was all there was but at the moment I can hardly care. I am okay with her using me so long as she stays.
Hopeing it's a ritual, the walls you build around us feel safe!
Silence's always comfortable, is this the only reason that you stay!
I lived every moment hoping for her to show a sign, an assurance that what I wanted -practically needed- was there, deep in her heart and waiting for the time when it knew it would be safe. Her closeness -comfort- around me seemed to build walls creating such a magical illusion. In that momentary pause before she left to save him, I stood alone with her between those walls and felt so safe. For a moment, I was almost convinced that she wouldn't leave.
They shattered with the first squeak of the door hinges.
I wondered while I listened to that ticking clock if the absence of my questions had been what kept her for so long. Surely if I had posed as many questions as her father or a select few of her friends, she would have given up on me. Bella would have slowly drifted away the same way she had down with them and eventually she would have been alone once more.
Or would she have? If I had brought it up in our daily conversations, would she had ran from the answers or looked me in the eye with a desperate need for my understanding while she answered? Was my silence her reason for staying after the bikes were finished and good as new or was there really something more going on behind those enigmatic eyes of hers?
I always did love looking into her eyes. Such constant peace had always been reassuring.
And I know that you use me to use you.
Perhaps we were using each other in a way. I was using her desperation for escape for my desperation for companionship. She was using me in her desperation for indirect comfort. Maybe that was all there was but at the moment I can hardly care. I am okay with her using me so long as she stays.
Feel your arms around me, wondering where this will go.
I feel your arms around me, will you ever want this like I do.
We ran into each other once more. Charlie had sent her up to pick-up the last of Mr. Clearwater's fish fry. I had not been aware that she was coming up to collect it. I had assumed it would be Charlie, himself. She'd smiled unsurely when I'd opened the door.
It broke my heart to see her lack of confidence in such a simple action. She was braver than that.
Edward, she'd explained, was hunting for the weekend and would not find out about her trip to my home. I wished he would find out. I needed an excuse to hurt him -to get payback for Bella's pain. My frustration -anger- was all consuming but when she hugged me it had faded to a dull thud in my burning chest.
Her arms were cool against my heated skin and her hair smelled so sweet when my face had dropped to rest against the top of her head. I never wanted to let her go. She felt more right in my arms than I knew anyone ever would. This was the one love I would ever have and her love was being given to another. Another undeserving person.
I know that she feels more right in the comfort of his arms and it pains me beyond reason. Could I never beat him? Could I never be better? Could she never love me the way I love her?
Of course not. I would forever be second-best.
And I know that you use me to use you.
I knew we were using each other when she smiled at me as she pulled away. She was using me for a conformation. She was trying to once again use me as an escape from her questioning the choice she'd made. I was using her for an answer to me questions of 'why?'. We were using each other for something that we both knew we were never going to receive. And that was okay because, after all, we'd never received what we were using each other for in the first place.
She'd turned to smile before she left. It was just as unassured as before but it hurt less this time. She'd held up the package of fish fry and said, "Thanks, again for this."
I'd nodded shortly before turning on my heel to walk back inside. Before the door closed I'd heard her voice from the step saying, "He's wrong, Jake. You don't smell bad at all."
...I think my heart just skipped a beat.

Due to its modular structure, support for new interface types can be added without overall design changes.
The 64 Studio Platform Development Kit (PDK) is a version control system for GNU/Linux distributions, allowing the creation and management of many different projects, based on Debian and Ubuntu sources. PDK is written in Python, and the source code is well commented and contains documented examples.
@ (monkey-tail) is a simple collection of simple commands. Built-in commands include listing of memory usage and open files for a process (by name or PID), running processes detached from a terminal, and running a program only once. @ can merge external pieces of code into itself to provide extra commands. Additionally, these "externals" can then be updated from their source. Currently there are externals available for extracting archive files (including nested archives), setting the GNOME desktop wallpaper image, and for replicating @ to another host via SSH. Externals can easily be written, as they are simply collections of Bash functions. It is completely self contained and self modifying, and is implemented in a single file.

An Irish problem closer to home
The revelations coming out of the inquiry into abuse in Ireland are gut- and soul-wrenching. It's easy to be appalled, not only at the behavior of the church (horrendous), but the abdication of the state of one of its most basic responsibilities to its citizens.
Part of what allowed this problem to metastasize in Ireland it seems to me is the nature of these children and the way society devalues them. No one spoke for them; no one represented their interests. They were throwaways, a revelation I had about the often deeply disturbed (because of abuse or neglect) children I worked with many years ago at a U.S. child care center (basically an orphanage and emergency placement facility).
While I am in no ways suggesting that anything like what happened in Ireland is happening to the 510,000 or so children in the U.S. foster/adoption system, abuse of these kids is not unknown either. We have seen the headlines of spectacular child abuse by individual foster parents or rogue child care agencies, and some studies have indicated that such problems can be much deeper in specific state or municipal systems.
But what really typifies the institutionalized kids here and in Ireland is the low priority placed on their long-term welfare. We have kids hidden away in institutions all across this country. We pay extremely low wages to the people who take care of these kids. We offer their caretakers sometimes slapdash training, then cross our fingers. But many of the children they are dealing with have severe psychological and emotional problems and are just not receiving anything close to the care adequate to their profound needs.
At the agency I worked for, I did not see anything like the abuses referenced in the Irish inquiry. Most of the people who worked with these sometimes terribly difficult children were decent men and women (some had no business being near a child), but many weren't trained well, and we were all pretty overwhelmed by our responsibilities. Little real therapy was going on to salvage these kids. We prevented the kids from hurting each other, kept them clean and nourished. We kept the lid on--barely. That is all. And I suspect it's not much different today after many years of tightened social service spending.
What happened in Ireland decades ago is almost beyond comprehension, but don't kid yourselves into thinking that the kids are alright, right here in America, right now.

US carrier in shock 'wireless pipes make money' claim
T-Google's open lovefest
Posted in Networks, 5th November 2009 14:02 GMT
OpenMobileSummit A US wireless carrier has admitted that it can make a very good living as a wireless carrier.
This week, at a mobile-centric get-together in downtown San Francisco, T-Mobile USA chief technology officer Cole Brodman was asked how the company planned to avoid becoming nothing more than a - gasp! - network service provider in an increasingly-open mobile world order. And he responded matter-of-factly.
"It's pretty good being a network service provider," he said. "The bit pipe is pretty good business, and it is in a lot of industries. Look at the cable industry, look at the wireless industry, where there are just access businesses. With an access business, if you thrive and scale your infrastructure, it can be a very good margin business."
Whereas AT&T and Verizon fought the open revolution tooth-and-nail - and continue to fight it - T-Mobile has hitched its wireless wagon to a certain online advertising giant that built an open-source mobile OS called Android. The country's third largest wireless carrier was the first to introduce a Googlephone, and it's about as Googly as a carrier can get.
"[We're also] a platform for other people," Brodman said. "We provide location and contextual information, billing information, network APIs, unique services that we expose to outside developers so they can make them better. We probably won't be able to without outside innovation, so how do we turn that around to say: 'Can you make these services better for us?' And we can share, somehow, the revenue somewhere down the line."
Brodman says that in the fourth quarter, T-Mobile expects smartphones to account for 40 per cent of all its handsets sales. That includes BlackBerries as well as Android phones, but clearly, the carrier has put its future in the hands of Mountain View.
Earlier in the day, Brodman said that the carrier would soon launch its own "channel" on the Android Marketplace - Google's answer to the iPhone App Store - and it has said in the past that unlike, say, Verizon, the country's largest wireless carrier, it has no intention of launching its own app store. ®

Hanover Halloween parade goes digital
The Jaycees are looking for volunteers to help plan and carry-off the Oct. 30 event
Hanover\'s Halloween parade boasted more than 400 floats and thousands of visitors last year and planners from the Hanover Area Jaycees hope to match that number in 2014 through new digital efforts. Starting Sept. 1, businesses, organizations and community members can register a float for the 73rd annual parade through a downloadable form via hanoverhalloweenparade.com, said William Gill, president of the Hanover Area Jaycees. \"We are actively working on innovative ways to allow more people to participate in the parade,\" Gill said of the Oct. 30 event. \"It\'s the community\'s parade, so we want to make it easier for them to get involved.\" The Jaycees also developed a new parade website and Hanover Halloween Parade Facebook page, in addition to the online registration form. These digital avenues make it easier for people to ask questions, find applicable materials and sign up to volunteer, Gill said. With thousands of people expected and the float count in the hundreds, you can never have enough volunteers, he added. Though a number of the planning positions are already filled, the Jaycees are still looking for volunteers to help with pre-parade prep and manpower on Oct. 30, Gill said. The Jaycees have also created additional sponsorship opportunities, adding prize and float sponsorships along with the previously available parade sections. It allows businesses to give back to their community in a visible and fun way, Gill said. \"I think the parade harkens back to the older days of Hanover, where everyone would gather downtown and connect with the community,\" Gill said. \"It\'s a great opportunity to get involved and really have some face-to-face time with what makes Hanover great.\" Committee meeting What: Halloween Parade planning meeting When: 6:30 p.m., Sept. 9 Where: Rear of 22 York St., Hanover

Well here is some more findings to throw in the faces of the people waiting patiently for this device to release. We've seen the Essex branded with the Sprint logo and Verizon logo before the new year started. Now we have this piece of finding that Crackberry has posted up. The 9650 now appears in the CelleBrite systems. If you are not familiar with CelleBrite, it is a system that quite a few carriers use with POS purchases. So the question once again is, WHERE IS THE ESSEX!?! My guess, as I said on our live web show, will be around Valentines Day.

(RNN) – In fewer than 25 words overshadowed by a powerful image, Yoko Ono brought another voice to the ongoing gun control debate in America.
Ono tweeted a picture Wednesday showing the bloody glasses her late husband John Lennon wore when he was shot to death.
Above the photo were these words: "Over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the USA since John Lennon was shot and killed on Dec. 8, 1980."
It was one of several gun violence-related tweets Ono, 80, sent out on the same day the couple was married 44 years ago in 1969.
The image was also part of the cover photo of the first solo album she recorded after her husband's death, titled Season of Glass. In the full image, the glasses sit next to a half-filled glass of water with Central Park in the background.
Mark David Chapman killed Lennon as he and Ono returned home to the Dakota, their Manhattan apartment building. He was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder and was denied parole for the seventh time in August 2012.
"We are turning this beautiful country into war zone," Ono tweeted.
According to Gunpolicy.org, an average of more than 31,000 people died from guns each year from 2005 to 2011. Of those, almost 12,000 a year were a result of homicide.
Violent shooting deaths that have gotten widespread attention in recent months – most notably at Sandy Hook Elementary and an Aurora, CO, theater – have created more debate on federal gun control.
Assault weapons had been a hotly contested part of the argument, but on Tuesday it was revealed that Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) would drop the ban on assault weapons from his gun control bill.
Reid said he would rather focus on effective gun-control measures that had a better chance of passing a House vote.
"The assault weapons ban was always an uphill battle this session," Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said in a statement. "As we have known all along, we face a marathon effort and not a sprint."

Bible Text:
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. —I Timothy 6:12
Therefore as God was not moved to give us hope of our salvation for any goodness that he saw in us, but because it pleased him, and pleased him of his mere mercy, so when he goes on still to guide us, until we be come to the haven of salvation, he does it because it pleases him. This is the cause of the free calling of God towards us continually; so that men are beaten down here and cannot rejoice in themselves in that it is said that we must make an end of our salvation.
Thus God does not want us to be idle, but, notwithstanding, our activity must be with fear and trembling. And why? Because it is God who works in us, giving us the will, giving us the effect, and everything else according to his good pleasure.
Let us do the best we can, but without presumption, without pride. Let us not think that we can do so well as to merit anything, or that man is worthy to be exalted against God; for by this means the grace of God would be darkened and made to be nothing. —Sermons
John Calvin was the premier theologian of the Reformation, but also a pious and godly Christian pastor who endeavored throughout his life to point men and women to Christ. We are grateful to Reformation Heritage Books for permission to use John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart as our daily devotional for 2013 on the OPC Web site. You can currently obtain a printed copy of that book from Reformation Heritage Books.
Dr. Joel Beeke, who is editorial director of Reformation Heritage Books, has this to say:
"Calvin shows us the piety of a Reformed theologian who speaks from the heart. Having tasted the goodness and grace of God in Jesus Christ, he pursued piety by seeking to know and do God's will every day. He communed with Christ, practicing repentance, self-denial, and cross-bearing. Moreover, his theology worked itself out in heart-felt, Christ-honoring piety. The selections of this devotional bear this out, and hopefully will be used by God to direct pious hearts in our own day."
These devotional readings from John Calvin were compiled by John H. Kromminga. Be sure to read his "Introduction" to John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart.

BATON ROUGE — Now that they've been re-elected to represent Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes on Capitol Hill, U.S. Reps. Bill Cassidy and Steve Scalise said they are working on opening up local district offices.
BATON ROUGE — Now that they've been re-elected to represent Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes on Capitol Hill, U.S. Reps. Bill Cassidy and Steve Scalise said they are working on opening up local district offices.
Although incumbents technically, it will be the first time either has served a constituency in the two parishes.
Last year's redistricting process brought about the changes, stripping the single congressional district that has long encompassed the entire Terrebonne-Lafourche region and splitting it in halves between two new districts.
The northern part of the parishes will be in Cassidy's 6th Congressional District come January, when the new Congress will be seated for another two-year term. Scalise's 1st Congressional District will pick up the southern portions.
Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, said he is already in the process of setting up a new district office and local staff at the Thibodaux Government Complex on Green Street.
"But we can't technically open it until we're sworn in," Cassidy said.
Scalise, R-Metairie, said he's eyeing a district office in the Houma area but stopped shy of sharing any other information, including who might staff the office.
"We want to maintain a presence in Houma," he said. "But it's too early to make any kind of announcement."
In an earlier interview, Scalise said he'll have to do more with less, meaning his team will have to cover more ground from redistricting with less money because of budget cuts.
"Unfortunately our budgets aren't going to change just because we represent more people and change in size," Scalise said. "We'll actually be doing more with less, since the budget for our allowances to run our offices was cut again."
Regardless, Scalise and Cassidy said they are confident they'll be able to adequately represent their expanded constituencies.
Currently, Scalise has three district offices:
- Hammond at 201 S. Cate St., Suite E; 985-340-2185
- Mandeville at 21454 Koop Drive, Suite 1E; 985-893-9064
- Metairie at 110 Veterans Blvd., Suite 500; 504-837-1259
Cassidy maintains two district offices:
- Baton Rouge at 5555 HiltonAve., Suite 100; 225-929-7711
- Livingston at 29261 Frost Road; 225-686-4413
Aside from Terrebonne and Lafourche, the 6th Congressional District picks up all of Livingston and Pointe Coupee parishes and portions of Ascension, Assumption, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Iberville, St. Charles, St. Helena, St. John the Baptist and West Baton Rouge parishes.
Scalise's 1st Congressional District also includes the parishes of Plaquemines, St. Bernard and St. Tammany, and portions of Jefferson, Orleans and Tangipahoa parishes.
In Tuesday's election, Cassidy earned 79.4 percent of the 6th District electorate, or 243,594 votes, against two challengers, according to complete but unofficial returns from the Secretary of State's Office.
Scalise received 66.68 percent, or 192,406 votes, against a slate of four challengers.
Until the two men are sworn in, Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes will continue to be represented by U.S. Rep. Jeff Landry, R-New Iberia, of the 3rd Congressional District.
Landry will face fellow U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, in a Dec. 8 runoff after receiving 30.04 percent of the vote or 93,524 votes to Boutany's 44.68 percent or 139,113 votes. He is hoping to represent a newly crafted district in southwest Louisiana.
Locally, Landry has a district office in Houma at 423 Lafayette St., Suite 107. It can be reached at 879-2300.

Alright, Zack...the fan club is officially disbanded.
I heard your record..it's alright.
Cozart is becoming Janish squared
Who will be the first Sun Decker to demand Cozart's demotion to Louisville and Gregorious' promotion to Cincinnati?
If Cozart ever learned how to hit, he could be pretty good. He has +power for a SS and is solid defensively, but when you can't hit, you can't make it as a starter with a potentially better defensive SS coming up your backside and 4 years younger.
Latos looks pretty good, we keep hitting the ball and we'll be fine tonight.

What is in this article?:
The Legacy 500, the world's first fly-by-wire super-midsize business aircraft, was expected to have completed its first flight by early this month, triggering an exuberant, but very brief celebration at Embraer's headquarters in Brazil. The aircraft was slated for certification in 2012, but that original development schedule assumed first flight in third or fourth quarter 2011. That target day passed because Parker Aerospace, supplier of the three-axis fly-by-wire (FBW) control system, failed to earn a critical software approval, thereby grounding the flight test program for a year or more.
Parker's problems were traced to improper software documentation for the remote electronic units (REUs), the computers that command movement of the flight control actuators. Demonstrating strict FBW software verification and validation to airworthiness authorities is as critical to safety of flight as showing that you've used only aircraft grade hardware for the flight control computers and flight control surface actuators. Software glitches potentially can have fatal consequences, so ground testing of the aircraft at São José dos Campos has been limited to 80 kt., well below liftoff speed at the lightest weights.
Upon learning of the depth of Parker's problems, Embraer was compelled to send in its own team of software engineers and also an expert crew from veteran FBW firm BAE Systems. Ultimately, the aircraft manufacturer transferred responsibility for FBW software development from Parker to BAE Systems, with Parker's Irvine, Calif., division supplying hardware components.
Parker's woes doubtlessly blindsided the Brazilians because the California firm supplies key FBW components for the latter's ERJ 170/190 regional airliners. But the Legacy 500's three-axis FBW is considerably more capable and more complex than the two-axis digital electronic controls installed on Embraer's E-Jets.
Fortunately for Embraer, BAE Systems is intimately familiar with the overall Legacy 500 FBW control system because it has supplied both hardware and software to Parker for the main flight control computers (FCC) from the onset of the program. The FCCs are the top-level digital brains of the FBW system that tell the REUs how to command the control surfaces. Embraer officials said that, in contrast to Parker, BAE Systems' FCC hardware and software development was "flawless" throughout the program.
"It's behind us now, thank goodness. We're moving on. All the tough questions are going to come [out]. How did we get here? What did we learn? And all of that stuff will be handled by Parker. I guess they're the people who have learned the most from this," says Ernest Edwards, president of Embraer Executive Jets. So, how did Embraer get the FBW development program back on track?
"In a nutshell," says Edwards, "it took a lot of hard work and dedication by all the teams involved. Once we identified the delay, it was a case of getting all the parties around the table and saying 'OK. Let's get involved and find out what we need to do to minimize this delay . . .' It was more a team effort than any individual party. It wasn't so much of the problem being a problem, the problem was the delay and how do we recover."
Edwards' "team effort" reference soft sells the role played by Embraer's and BAE Systems' engineers in rectifying the FBW software problems. Without their involvement at the "25th hour," the aircraft still might be a hangar queen.
"What's past is done and we have a great airplane," Edwards concludes.

Do not forget who I am today,
For tomorrow I will be but a memory.
No longer can we share a story,
Or a touch of hand, for I have gone away.
Do not forget to think of me
Of the dreams we shared of forever,
And of the times we spent together.
I will live on in your memory.
Do not forget to remember me
In times of happiness or sad.
But if you do, do not feel bad,
For I am only in your memory.
In life I wish for you all the joy,
Peace and love that you can be.

Visualizing 100,000 Stars In Chrome 68
An anonymous reader writes "Google has rolled out a new web experiment for Chrome. This one is a visualization of the locations of over 100,000 nearby stars. It pulls data from astrometric databases and catalogs to show accurate relative locations of the stars. You can zoom and pan around the cluster, zoom all the way in to the solar system, or zoom all the way out to see how even this huge number of stars is dwarfed by the rest of the Milky Way. It also has data on a number individual stars in our stellar neighborhood. This web app works best in Chrome (much like their previous one, Jam With Chrome), but I was able to try it in Firefox as well."

One year ago, the first NFL playoff game with rookie quarterbacks starting for both teams was staged.
The second such matchup figures to be much more highly anticipated.
Led by Robert Griffin III, the Washington Redskins will host a postseason contest for the first time in 13 years when they take on Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
When Cincinnati's Andy Dalton and Houston's T.J. Yates met last season, it was the first time two rookie starting quarterbacks faced off.
Sunday's matchup features record-setting rookies who have electrified their respective cities. The Redskins (10-6) have won seven straight since Griffin was named a team captain to capture the NFC East title, while the Seahawks (11-5) have won five in a row to earn a wild-card spot.
Griffin's 102.4 passer rating is the highest ever by a rookie and the third-best in the NFL this year. He threw 20 touchdowns to five interceptions and set a rookie record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 815.
"The one thing our coaches did was they didn't baby me, they weren't going to make it baby steps, they made me learn on the fly, they were really hard on me in OTAs and training camp and it's paid off," Griffin said.
While Griffin was the No. 2 pick in the draft, Wilson was a third-round selection by Seattle - and the sixth quarterback taken - before he beat out Matt Flynn for the starting job. Wilson has tied Peyton Manning's record for most touchdown passes by a rookie with 26, and he had 16 touchdowns to two interceptions during Seattle's 7-1 finish to the regular season.
"Did Peyton go to the playoffs his first year? No," Seattle fullback Michael Robinson said. "OK. Then you know who I think is better."
Wilson, who threw for 3,118 yards, finished with a 100.0 passer rating that would have been a rookie record if not for Griffin.
"I really like Russell, he's really got a lot of the intangibles you look for in a quarterback," said Redskins coach Mike Shanahan, who interacted with Wilson while coaching at last year's Senior Bowl. "Really a class act, really handled himself extremely well, really a fun guy to talk to."
Both quarterbacks are aided by top rushing attacks that feature zone blocking schemes.
The Redskins finished with a league-high 2,709 yards on the ground, with rookie Alfred Morris second in the NFL with 1,613. Morris rushed for 200 yards and three scores in last Sunday night's 28-18 division-clinching win over Dallas.
Seattle's Marshawn Lynch gained 1,590 yards to finish third behind Morris as he spearheaded a Seattle rushing attack that was third in the league with 2,579 yards.
"I think everybody's got a little bit different scheme," Shanahan said. "We do have a lot of similarities with the zone blocking scheme and they're running a bit of the zone read as well."
While the offenses are very similar, the Seahawks have a decided edge on defense. Seattle yielded an average of 321.6 yards for the league's fourth-best mark while Washington allowed an average of 390.8 for the NFL's fourth-worst.
It promises to be a festive atmosphere at FedEx Field. The only playoff game to take place there was Washington's 27-13 victory over Detroit after the 1999 season.
The Redskins figure to have the advantage with a 5-3 home mark. While Seattle was unbeaten at home, it went 3-5 on the road.
"If you want to be a good team you definitely got to be able to win on the road," Seattle defensive end Red Bryant said. "You never get a scenario exactly how you want it unless you fortunate enough to be like (No. 1 seed) Atlanta."
The Seahawks could be happy about the late kickoff time Sunday so their normal routine of traveling two days before an Eastern time zone game won't change. Former Seattle cornerback Josh Wilson, who is now with Washington, thinks this is the case.
"This game being at 4:30 actually may help them a little bit," Wilson said. "It's definitely tough when you have that 1 o'clock game. It feels like about 10 o'clock to you. You wake up three hours before the game, so it's about 7 o'clock in your mind."
The Redskins have won six straight regular-season meetings over the Seahawks, but things have changed drastically since Rex Grossman led them to a 23-17 win over a Tarvaris Jackson-led Seattle team last season.
Washington's last two postseasons ended with road losses to Seattle following the 2005 and 2007 seasons.
Redskins left guard Kory Lichtensteiger missed practice with a sprained left ankle Wednesday. Third-round pick Josh LeRibeus will make his first start if Lichtensteiger can't play.

Augusta's baseball team just got a lot better.
After losing one stud pitcher to a transfer, the Orioles gained another. Garrett Hutson, the standout pitcher from Circle High School, transferred to Augusta High School Tuesday. Hutson received more than a warm welcome during his first day.
"After the first block when I went to the commons, I could here my name a lot," Hutson said with a laugh.
Hutson had some personal reasons for the transfer, one of which he said was the dedication AHS has shown to the baseball program.
Last season, Hutson earned Second Team All-State honors in Class 4A. He led the Thunderbirds to the 4A state tournament, where Circle got a 3-0 first-round victory after Hutson struck out nine Concordia batters while giving up just one walk and seven hits. Hutson hopes to build on that success as an Oriole.
"I'm excited, about baseball especially," Hutson said about joining AHS. "I have no doubt that we can make it (to State)."
The Orioles needed a standout pitcher after losing all-leaguer Kolton Schenker, who transferred to Chase County for his senior year.
Hutson's success extend beyond high school. He plays for the Midwest Warducks travel team during the summer and part of the fall. Hutson will be playing in the WWBA World Championships tournament Oct. 24 through 28 in Florida. The prestigious tournament is run by Perfect Games and consistently has turned out professional baseball players of all levels.
Hutson, who is a junior, has verbally committed to play for Wichita State University.
"Head coach Todd Butler, he's so energetic, and (Brent) Kemnitz is one of the best pitching coaches in the nation, so I'm looking forward to him coaching me," Hutson said.
Hutson also is looking forward to playing for the AHS football and basketball teams next year when he will be eligible to do so.

Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi is likely to miss the remainder of 2013 after it was confirmed that he suffered a muscle tear in his left hamstring against Real Betis on Sunday.
The 26-year-old, who has won the last four Ballon d'Or awards, was substituted for Andres Iniesta in the first half of Sunday's La Liga match after pulling up sharply.
And Barcelona have now announced that their star player will miss the next six to eight weeks.
The Catalan giants went on to win beat Real Betis 4-0, with Cesc Fabregas netting a brace, but news of Messi's injury will have rocked the club.
Messi has been Barcelona's main source of goals for the past five seasons, with the Argentina international netting 96 league goals in his last two full campaigns.
In all competitions he has scored 14 goals in 16 matches this season - and Barcelona will be looking to summer signing Neymar for goals in Messi's absence.
The Brazil international has settled well since his move from Santos, scoring four league goals in his first 11 appearances.

Sofia Vergara catches everyone's attention with her plunging dress design by Roberto Cavalli at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night–everyone, perhaps, except Vergara herself. "A little too much situation here," the Modern Family actress and SAG nominee joked to PEOPLE about her low-cut neckline. Her costars begged to differ, however. Julie Bowen told PEOPLE, "What could anyone say to Sofia except she looks phenomenal? Always, always, always!" Vergara, 38, usually wouldn't disagree. At Elle's Women in Television event in West Hollywood last Thursday, she admitted to liking being "a little plump." Vergara says, "Because I'm Latin, I'm expected to be voluptuous, so I don't have be a certain weight that is really skinny because it is expected of me. I think they want me with a little bit of meat." While accepting an award from Elle, Vergara commented on her figure, jesting that her boobs "only belong in a strip bar or somewhere indecent. So, being in Elle is one of the greatest achievements of my life." But embracing her curves doesn't mean she eats anything she wants. "I believe in everything in moderation," she says. "I try to eat healthy during the week, but during the weekend I would eat the things that I like: my desserts, my pizza, my pasta." Most important to aging gracefully, Vergara says, is "taking time to enjoy." She adds: "If you like to eat, eat!"

If you visit the Moonlight Bunny Ranch...you will see legalized prostitution and quite possibly something you didn't expect...a visit from a ghost.
Some of the working girls insist the brothel has one...maybe even two...
You decide...in our final series of stories we call, Silver State Hauntings.
You would expect the working girls at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch have pretty much seen it all...but there's something they say goes on down this hall and in this VIP room that freaks them out.
You won't find it on the menu--but the girls say you'll find sex and quite possibly a ghost in here.
Brothel Owner Dennis Hof has heard all the stories.
Dennis Hof, the brothel owner told a reporter, "Yes I do believe there is something. It doesn't happen anywhere else and there are lots of rooms at the ranch. This is the room where you hear all the stories.
Publicity stunt or ghost? That's what the producers of the Sci-Fi Channel Show, Proof Positive hoped to determine.
They did their own investigation.
They polygraphed this working girl because of her amazing story. They also polygraphed Dennis Hof.
But you can measure one final observation...The room's temperature...
Even though we're talking about a brothel...we can report this is one room that could definitely use more heat.

Great! Now Linux will still have two major competing desktops. But now one of them could be one of several separate versions, or some applications on a different desktop, or a version of Windows running Koffice. Thanks, clarity committee!
You mean Pubuntu. May not want a brown color scheme on that one.
I can see an new golden rule:
Pubuntu others and they pubuntu you.
Sorry. Aussie; just cant get past the pub.
Thanks, Klarity Kommittee!
There, fixed that for you.
Thanks, clarity committee!
Uh, that would be "klarity", not "clarity" thanks.
Question 1: To get to your applications, there is a button on the top or bottom corner of the screen. Is it a K or a foot print?
"It's a ring with three balls at the corners." Am I running Ubuntu Desktop (with GNOME Desktop) or Kubuntu Desktop (with KDE Plasma Desktop)?
After that ask questions related to KDE or Gnome. It's not that difficult. Much easier in fact than convincing someone to tell you what version of Windows they have.
"Hold the Windows key (that's the one with the flag next to Alt) and press R. Release all keys, type w i n v e r, and press Enter." Easier, but "much easier"?
Everything is all over the place. Linux will not gain mainstream acceptance until it is easy to support.
If you're in a situation where you need to support a lot of Linux machines, use the same desktop on all of them. If someone wants to use something else, make it clear that you won't be able to walk them through common fixes. Don't be a dick about it though; if someone wants the login details for the IMAP server, don't say "oh I can't tell you because I can't walk you through how to set up kmail", just
They now have to support Windows XP, Vista and now Seven. Supporting both Gnome and KDE doesn't seem much, and that covers what, 90% of the users?
One size does fit all from a support point of view. If I want to walk a windows user through changing the desktop resolution, it's easy. If I want to find out which printer is their default printer, again easy. Good luck doing those in linux. Everything is all over the place. Linux will not gain mainstream acceptance until it is easy to support.
What follows is my personal opinion. Ideally, Linux can be the one (or one of the few) environment that caters to users who are technically inclined, know what they're doing, and either already know how to handle desktop resolutions and printers or are willing to combine basic literacy with Google in order to inform themselves. Users who don't want to learn how the machine works already have two major systems designed specifically for them: Windows and OSX. To me it makes perfect sense that Linux would be Open Source because Microsoft and Apple both recognize that the real money is gained by appealing to the general public and the general public is nearly technophobic.
I say that because I strongly believe that anyone who is literate and has access to Google can inform themselves. There is no conspiracy or secret cabal trying to hide any of the information one would need in order to understand any system I have named. It's out there, it's available, and it's accessible; it's purely a case of the average person not wanting to utilize it or otherwise to educate themselves. These are the folks who find "easy to use" and "supported by a vendor"** worth paying for. Therefore, the beauty of Open Source allows Linux to exist independently of the financial success of any particular company or organization so there is no reason to appease a crowd that major vendors already cater to. I also don't believe Linux could hope to displace Windows on the desktop without sacrificing many of the things I really enjoy about it. For these reasons, I am not concerned with whether Linux will ever bankrupt Microsoft and I don't view that as its purpose.
** I am far less familiar with OSX so I'll limit my comment here to Windows and Linux. I'll add that I don't really think Windows is very easy to use. I personally find it cumbersome, sometimes tedious, and sometimes difficult to automate. I would describe Windows as "easy to learn" but learning all about it doesn't make it much more convenient to use. I would describe Linux as having a much steeper learning curve by comparison, particularly if you are thorough and intend to master the command line. However, once the investment of overcoming that learning curve is made, you then find yourself with a system that doesn't get in your way or second-guess your actions. The more you master Linux, the more you can automate and the more you can get it to do with less and less effort on your part. The more you learn about it, the easier it is to perform complex tasks with an economy of expression that is difficult to find in a non-Unix system.
Also, the times I have needed support for Linux, what I found was a community of volunteers who welcomed me with open arms and provided a level of support that rivals or exceeds anything you would get with a commercial support contract. All of this was from volunteers who do what they do because they care. I believe that part of what made this possible is that the questions they were answering concerned real bugs and real problems. They were not drowning in a sea of trivial issues of the sort that are well-familiar to anyone who has ever worked a front-line technical support role. This allowed them to focus their efforts on issues that really did require the attention of experts which, in my opinion, makes a big difference.
Linux can be the one environment that caters to users who are technically inclined, know what they're doing, and either already know how to handle desktop resolutions and printers or are willing to combine basic literacy with Google in order to inform themselves.
Two words: Pulse Audio.
It shouldn't be necessary to Google for solutions to problems that haven't existed for the OSX and Windows user since the dinosaurs last walked the earth.
What does pulse audio have to do with this discussion? KDE uses aRTs for audio. Linux in general uses ALSA, unless you want to do something weird and unusual like play sound on another computer across a network.
Since when have MS Windows users been able to send their application's sound across the network without special software? Such software is probably expensive or has just as many problems as pulse audio anyway. How many regular people actually do something like that and why should anyone care?
Linux will not gain mainstream acceptance until
Almost every sentence I've read which starts that way ends differently. This leads me to believe that customization is, in fact, important.
"If I want to walk a windows user through changing the desktop resolution, it's easy. If I want to find out which printer is their default printer, again easy. Good luck doing those in linux."
Getting a user to type 'xrandr -s 0' or 'lpstat -p -d' is easier than getting them to navigate a GUI you can't see.
Linux will not gain mainstream acceptance until it is easy to support.
Actually that's not true, Linux is already much easier to support than Windows, but I'm others here will jump at the chance to explain that to you so I won't get into it.
The biggest barrier to mainstream Linux adoption is Corporate email, messaging, and calendars. I've worked for several Linux focused companies the last ten years, one of them even had 'Linux' in it's name, but all of those companies still used Exchange for company communications. What I've realized is that IT departments are not choosing Exchange for _any_ technical or security reasons, they are making this choice because to choose anything else means they have to own that choice. With any other solution they actually have know pretty much everything there is to know about the package(s) they're implementing.
In most companies (that I've been exposed to of course) most of the IT staff are Windows only, maybe a few Ubuntu 'installers' sprinkled around. These people know where all the wizards are and which boxes need checkmarks but that's pretty much it. When there's a Linux based alternative to Exchange that this class of people can choose without feeling any risk, THEN you will a massive expansion of Linux on the desktop.
PS:I mean no slight to the intelligence of the IT staff -the OS they are using is essentially closed to them so they are merely not in the habit of digging deep, or radically altering the behavior of the OS or application stack. Also, job security is a really really powerful motivator when you have a family to care for, I can't fault anyone for making the safe choices.
Oh, fiddlesticks. Just change the way you look at it. There is no "linux" the way you want to use the term. There is Gnome on linux, and there is KDE on linux. You can walk a Gnome on linux user through changing desktop resolution if you are familiar with Gnome on linux. You can do the same for KDE on linux if you are familiar with KDE on linux. If you are ambitious, you can make yourself able to do both. And so on for Xfce, and a myriad of others. I wouldn't advise tring to become a "wizard" with a
I'm really sorry I already posted to this discussion and can't mod you up today. God bless you.
Well hopefully it will kill the misconception that you have to use one DE or another.
Obviously we have come to the proverbial fork in the road.
Well, I would guess the difference between KDE desktop and netbook would be like Ubuntu and Ubuntu Netbook Remix, not heard any complaints there. And for the other part, there the division already exists you just don't hear much about it. Many KDE4 applications run on Windows now, so already there's a confusion since KOffice does in fact run outside KDE the environment.
...I couldn't help but think of this scene from Red Dwarf [youtube.com].
No, Awesome [naquadah.org] is awesome. XFCE is just nice.
It's now to be known as the KDEPDXFCE?

Where's my Amarok on winders, and why does a simple port need all kinds of name changing foolishness?
uhm... here? [kde.org] together with all other available platforms?
There are only two appropriate responses to that summary:
- huh?
- wut?
KDE Workspace
KDE provides workspaces. These provide the environment for running and managing applications and integrate interaction of applications. The workspaces are designed as generic environment for all kinds of desktop applications, not only applications built on the KDE Platform. They integrate best with applications following the standards used by the KDE Platform. There are different flavors of the workspace to address the needs of specific groups of users or adapt to specific hardware platforms:
I run ubuntu on my eeepc 701, which has a smaller screen than most other netbooks and I find the stock gnome to be perfectly okay.
>PulseAudio: the bane of my linux desktop experience !
Works great for me!
You know, the KDE guys just don't get it.
They almost remind me of Commodore, during the Amiga days. They have this really cool technology, but it doesn't work as well as you want it to and has some glaring deficiencies, and their marketing department is absolutely clueless.
You know, the [insert OS team here] guys just don't get it.
There, fixed that for you.
You were too specific, what you said actually applies to many software development outfits. (Queue next FTFY with 'Many'->'ALL' in 3..2.) We're blessed with so much excellent, stable elegant, technology at a line-by-line code level, that potential somehow seems to be mangled by the time it's put together as a package such that it barely works. Linux Desktop: where whole ends up being less than the sum of the parts.
I don't know whether it's a pathological deficiency of right
Great move - now you guys are going to have the Copyright Police after you!
The term "Netbook" is copyrighted by Psion Teklogix,... just ask them, they'll tell you!
Why would you choose a term that is already means a piece of hardware, and is copyrighted already to boot??
You can't copyright a term. Do you mean "trademarked"?
Plasma isn't just that thing for making desktop widgets of dubious usefulness. What KDE has actually done is, in my opinion, a fairly smart design move regardless of whether you like their implementation.
Desktop widgets aren't applications, they are people extending the functionality of their desktop. What the KDE folks saw was that a well-designed API could be used to write the desktop UI itself (task bar, clock, pager, whatever), the things we used to use taskbar applets for (media player control, etc) and the flashy new desktop widgets. Instead of having a basic desktop and plastering a widget API on top, they've gone and unified the whole thing so you can use the same API to write taskbar applets, widgets or write replacement taskbars or
The plasma netbook interface then takes some of the default building plasmoids, adds some new ones and then glues them together in a different way. So you can get a similar family look and similar functionality (and, fundamentally, the same desktop) but in a way that's optimised for a different form factor of device. I think that's actually pretty neat and somewhat reminiscent of the way you can configure and compile the core Linux kernel down for tiny machines or up to big iron whilst still getting the benefits of a common codebase.
There's a load of other cool stuff including a standard set of "data engines" which separate producing data from displaying it, thus making it easy to glue data sources together in interesting ways. Despite the various feature regressions that rewriting the desktop led to, it's a really neat architecture and should hopefully stand them in good stead for the future.
If this means they're going to stop using kwirky misspellings of various words for the names of every program, I might actually be konvinced to start taking them seriously.
Geesh, is that misconception ever going to die?
Step 1: "The KDE software compilation team happily acknowledges the bug report you have filed. Why we are happy? This bug report in fact concerns the KDE workspaces team. Or so we believe. Please be so kind as to file your bug report again at the appropriate place. If the KDE workplaces team should be able to prove that this is none of their matter, please be so kind as to reopen this bug. After reopening the bug here, please be aware that it will be triaged for at least nine months as a matter of policy. If you should be obnoxious, we may decide at our own will to extend the period to at least eleven months. Thank you very much for your assistance in making the K Desktop/Compilation/Workspace/Application Experience even better. Salvatory Clause: The expression "K Desktop experience" is only preserved for the purpose of backward compatibility."
Step 2: "Thanks a lot for filing a bug report. We certainly appreciate your willingness to enhance the K Workspaces Experience (formerly known as the K Desktop Experience, an expression preserved only in order to preserve backward compatibility). However, we have noticed in your bug report that Amarok 1.1.4 has been opened while encountering your bug. Since Amarok 1.1.4 certainly cannot be regarded as part of the K Software Compilation experience, you should consider updating. If this does not remove the bug you have encountered, please be so kind as to file a bug first against the respective K Software Compilation. If this should not prove to be sucessful in the next two years, please reconsider opening the bug here. Before that, it will be futile anyway."
How did you feel while the respective companies were doing this? Is there anyone in the room that remembers reading the headline, "Palm splits into PalmSource and PalmOne," and thought, "Man, that's some sexy marketing right there. I need to get me a Treo but quick." No. We saw it and thought, "the shark has been jumped, the drain is being circled." Yes, you did.
While I'm on a roll, for shits and giggles, let's look at the bastard sibling of rebranding, "editions."
The moral of the story, kids, is that rebranding is for the desperate, and editions are for suckers.
Peace out.
KDE folks: revert to 3.5 while you still have a user base.
I used 3.5 until 4.2.2, and then switched. See no reason to switch back, as KDE4 delivers the required functionality and bling for a standard normal user.
KDE3 was a very solid house. But the foundation just can't take building anything more on top. Qt3 is dead, arts is dead, so much of the technlogy is dead. Maybe they got a little bit carried away when they designed KDE4 but the foundation had to change. Going back to KDE3 just isn't an option.

Id Software co-founder John Carmack isn't convinced that Valve's Steam OS and Steam Machines will be a success. On the other hand, the famous graphics engines developer admits that his past predictions regarding Valve's capabilities have been especially wrong.
"There's an interesting kind of retrospective on it," he said during NVidia's Montreal conference.
For example, when Valve approached Id Software in 2004 to have Doom 3 as one of Steam's launch titles, "[Carmack] basically said, 'Are you crazy? This would be nuts to try to kind of tie yourselves to this little, notional digital distribution platform.' But clearly, Valve has played a good, strong, long game."
Nonetheless, Carmack still believes that Valve has bit more than it can chew with Steam OS and Steam Machines.
"I'm afraid that I may be at that same point right now where I'm like, 'Making your own sort of little console OS? Are you crazy?' And, you know, maybe 10 years from now, they're going to look like brilliant prophets again with it," he said.
"It still seems a little bit dicey to me, getting everything moved over to Linux, pushing from that side of things. Still, Valve's track record is evidence that the company may just be able to pull it off. If it was some other random company, I would be pseudo-scornful, but it's Valve, so I'm not."

Why bring encryption into the glass house? To paraphrase bank robber Willie Sutton, because that's where the data is.
To date, most data center security efforts have been focused on protecting against Internet threats. However, IT can no longer ignore physical security: Thieves recently broke into the Chicago data center of managed Web hosting provider C I Host and stole server hardware--for the fourth time. Meanwhile, backup tapes are frequent targets for theft because they're often out of IT's direct possession. The Privacy Rights Clearinghouse Web site documents more than 40 cases of tape theft since 2005, and it's likely that far more were never reported. In our 2008 Strategic Security Survey, the theft of computers or storage systems was among the top five breaches seen as most likely to occur in the coming year.
Clearly, encrypting hard drives and tapes is vital to protect data. So why aren't organizations rushing to sign on? The complexity of managing keys is a top deterrent to ubiquitous encryption. After all, there are many ways to encrypt, but key management is where all these projects succeed or fail. And failure is most likely to occur several years out, after the hole has been dug quite deep. Some information must be kept for decades, after all, and storing the keys needed to access that data securely for 10 or 20 years is a challenge.
Fortunately, advances in managing keys as well as new options for encrypting data at each step within the backup process make it much less likely lost keys will come back to haunt you. Most of the vendors we spoke with understand the problem and are working to solve it. RSA's Key Management Suite, for example, works with encryption products from RSA partners to give IT a single management point for all encryption keys.
Encryption vendors also have started to build key management into their products or offer these capabilities as options for companies with modest requirements.
Security analysts love the idea of encrypting all data on the host before it's even sent to a backup server. This guarantees end-to-end privacy and minimizes the number of places where mistakes can be made. And plenty of products provide this capability. Symantec's NetBackup is a good example--just generate a key and click a box within the user interface to enable encryption of any data set. The backup server instructs the client to encrypt on the fly.
This approach has downsides, however. By encrypting data at the host, deduplication has to happen at the server. And encryption adds load to the server, lengthening the backup window and perhaps affecting performance. Moreover, encrypted data is supposed to be indistinguishable from random data, so it tends to render tape-drive compression completely ineffective. Since most tape drives claim a hardware compression rate of at least 2-to-1, server-side encryption can easily double your tape consumption.
But key management may well be the worst problem. Backup vendors are only now starting to add key management capabilities to their software; most still rely on the backup admin to handle management tasks. You'd think someone would take this off our hands.
Moving encryption closer to tape drives are appliances that encrypt data as it heads to the tape library. These devices can be inserted into the Fibre Channel fabric of the SAN, the SCSI connections to the tape drives, or iSCSI networks, providing a tremendous amount of flexibility. Appliances take the processing load off servers and are popular choices in environments with a variety of backup software and hardware, or when speed of installation and ease of setup are priorities. NetApp's Decru division and nCipher's NeoScale CryptoStor Tape even perform compression on the box, and a separate key management appliance or software system provides the key archiving and security needed to trust the system over many years.
Perhaps the most exciting innovation for tape encryption has been the addition of encryption capabilities to the drives themselves. Sun's StorageTek 10000B and LTO4 Ultrium drives from IBM, HP, and Quantum have encryption hardware built in. This adds minimal cost and should have very little impact on performance. Compression can be performed just before encryption, minimizing storage space, and most importantly, encrypted data can be read just after it's written, decrypted, and compared with the original to ensure that there are no errors.
IBM's tape encryption works with RSA's Key Management Suite, and IBM also ships its own simplified Enterprise Key Manager (EKM), which supports a novel twist useful to companies that must ship data to partners. IBM EKM uses public key cryptography to encrypt data on the tape to the partner's public key. The partner can then use its private key to read the data. In this way, no secret key exchange has to happen between the partners, but the tapes remain secure.

If the Worcester funeral director searching for a place to bury the Boston Marathon bombing suspect contacted Leominster, Mayor Dean Mazzarella would emphatically say no.
"Everybody has a right to be buried, it's true, but everybody has a right to go to a public event and not be blown up," Mazzarella said.
Funeral directors, cemetery workers and municipal officials weighed in Tuesday on how they would handle the controversy over what to do with the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed in a gunbattle with police.
John McDonough is a friend of Peter Stefan, the director of Graham Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Parlors, where Tsarnaev's body was being kept Tuesday. McDonough, who owns McDonough Funeral Home in Lowell, said he also would have agreed to take possession of Tsarnaev's body.
It's just part of the job, he said.
"I'm glad we don't have to make any of these decisions, but if they even called me, my job as a funeral director is to serve the next of kin," McDonough said. "I have to take direction from the next of kin and go in the direction they tell me."
Stefan said more than 100 people in the U.S. and Canada have offered burial plots for the body of Tsarnaev. But officials in the cities and towns where the graves are located have said no.
"It's not only Massachusetts that doesn't want him," Stefan said. "Nobody wants him."
Ernie Gould Jr.
"I definitely don't think he should be buried here," Ernie Gould said. "Ship him out and let his country pay for his return."
Robert Healy, the city manager in Cambridge, where Tsarnaev lived, has urged his family not to ask to have him buried in that city because the attention would make it difficult for residents trying to get back to their lives.
McDonough believes it is possible that Tsarnaev's burial has already taken place.
"When you get negative media attention and the deceased is not to the liking of the community, every time I've done this, the family usually just wants to get the burial to take place in the least amount of public eye as possible," he said. "That said, I would not be a bit surprised if he was buried this morning."
McDonough said he has used deception in the past to distract the media. He said he once sent out a decoy hearse and limousine. Once the media followed, he sent out the real hearse and limousine.
Prosecutors say Tsarnaev and his brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, carried out the bombings three weeks ago using pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails, ball bearings and metal shards. Three people died and more than 260 were injured near the marathon's finish line. Three nights later, the brothers allegedly shot to death MIT police Officer Sean Collier, a Wilmington native, before a chase that led to the gunbattle and manhunt in Watertown.
Tom Bellegarde, the commissioner of Lowell's Parks and Recreation Department, oversees six public cemeteries, but nobody has approached the city about burying Tsarnaev, he said.
If a request were made, it would go to the Cemetery Commission at its next monthly meeting, Bellegarde said.
The grave of beatnik author Jack Kerouac, located in Lowell's Edson Cemetery, often draws fans. Kerouac was buried with relative anonymity, and the service did not attract the crowds Tsarnaev's burial is expected to draw, Bellegarde said.
"I think that, everything being equal, there is going to be pressure at some point in time to make a decision on this, and it will be interesting to find out what the decision is," Bellegarde said.

Addison Trail's Juan Valdez heard his time and yelled in relief and joy. He looked to the sky, arms upraised, and in that moment considered the coaches who helped him qualify for next week's boys track state finals in the 800-meter run.
After 400 meters Valdez had faded from first to sixth, but what mattered Friday at the Class 3A Glenbard North boys track sectional was the junior's perseverance to make the cut.
"When I was in the first 400 I was like, 'I've got this.' When people started passing me with 250 meters left, I just started doubting myself. I didn't know if I could make it," Valdez said. "But I knew that I couldn't stop, I just had to give it my all because it could have been my last meet of the season."
Now it's not. Same for sectional champion and three-time defending Class 3A champ Lake Park, which qualified 15 entries, including 11 of 12 possible field event slots. York qualified all four relays and 13 entries. Wheaton North qualified 11 with Zach Gordon winning the 100 and 200, anchoring a victorious 400 relay and returning in long jump where he's defending state champion.
But vignettes such as Valdez's make sectionals special.
Glenbard West qualified a 3,200 relay team featuring senior Brandon Bonifer and three sophomores -- Chris Buechner, Nate Crail and Ben Hecht. In the 1,600 relay Wheaton Warrenville South's third-place finish by Don Tomes, Matt Brocious, Michael Kinfe and Carson Discher qualified by .07 seconds and drew a brotherly hug between Tigers coach Ken Helberg and Wheaton North coach Don Helberg.
That wasn't the closest nailbiter. Matt Burns of Willowbrook easily qualified in the 400, but in the 200 trailed the 1-2 finish of Wheaton North's Zach Gordon and Patrick Sharp; he met the qualifying time of 22.24 seconds exactly. Lake Park's 400 relay of Mike Amerlan, Tim Ehrhardt, Scott Filip and Marcus Jegede qualified by .01 seconds.
"It was enough to qualify," said Ehrhardt, also top pole vaulter at 15 feet, 3 inches. "We'll figure it out by state. We don't have much choice."
Glenbard North's Jon Heideman barely made it by .01 seconds in the 300 hurdles, third behind York's Jarvis Grace-Hill and following 110 and 300 winner Antonio Shenault, supersoph out of Lake Park.
Of Heideman, Glenbard North coach Mark Karwowski said, "He's an athlete that does all the right things you need to prepare for a race, so he deserved to go."
Wheaton North's Paul Steeno definitely deserved it after four years of highs and lows. Sprinting to a second-place finish in the 1,600, the lulls disappeared. Steeno thanked his distance coach and "mentor," Jeff Potter, and credited the Falcons for their support.
"This week I just wanted to make my teammates proud," Steeno said.
Along with Shenault and Burns, double qualifiers in individual events included WW South's Nolan McKenna in the 1,600 and 3,200 and Jegede in long jump and triple jump. Lake Park's Scott Filip joined Gordon as a triple qualifier, in high jump, long jump and the 100 dash.
Best event on the track? Maybe Gordon overcoming Filip in the last 20 meters to win 10.84 seconds to 10.90. Most inclusive? Glenbard East's Jack Peters going 1:55.34 in the 800 to pace six state qualifiers.
Mitch Siver's nearly 4-foot personal best to 55 feet gave Glenbard North its first shot put qualifier since former Indianapolis Colt Ryan Diem won state in 1997.
"I just got in a zone, I guess," Siver said. "I was confident I could qualify. I was throwing, like, 53 in practices."
After competing on the frosh-soph level the entire season, Wheaton North jumps coach Rob Graf added freshman Chico Jackson to the sectional lineup in long jump. Jackson, under pressure, punched his ticket to Charleston on his final attempt.
"Coach kept saying, 'You need to go to state,'" Jackson said. "I just had to do it."

Race went pretty smoothly and all of the entrants appeared to have a great time running in some pretty muddy and squishy conditions. Afterwards, I hit the trails, running the main loop on the campus side at a planned easy pace.
Felt okay. Legs felt pretty heavy, which I think was a delayed reaction from the mile repeats the other day (legs felt better yesterday) and also some pretty crappy humidity. Still, not too bad. Today was about taking it slow anyway. Tomorrow will be a longish run with some MP mileage thrown in. Looking forward to that!
Ran 8.0 miles @ 9:57/mile pace.
Very hilly.
Lower 70s, overcast, humidity.

As Glenn Gilbert pointed out in the July 19 editorial, Governor Snyder is to be commended for seeking input from various groups in developing a bipartisan energy policy that will serve Michigan residents now and in the future.
As we move towards broadening Michigan�s renewable energy reach, it is imperative that the need to rein in carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants not be missed while also prioritizing the clean up of sulfur in gasoline and setting tighter vehicle emissions standards.
Air pollution is a serious public health threat to the well-being of not only Michigan residents, but to every person in this country. Breathing dirty air is especially harmful to our most vulnerable populations � infants and children, older adults, people with chronic lung diseases including asthma and COPD in addition to those with cardiovascular disease and diabetes. At its worst, air pollution shortens lives and burdens our health care system by increasing emergency room and hospital admissions rates.
Children may face the most danger when it comes to breathing dirty air, because their lungs are still growing. Since they are often outdoors more often than adults, this puts their sensitive airways at greater risk for harm. Long-term exposure to air pollution can disrupt children�s lung development leading to a lifetime of respiratory ailments.
Polluted air has even been linked to lung cancer, developmental harm during pregnancy, increased allergy symptoms and can result in greater susceptibility to respiratory infections.
Why is air pollution so dangerous? When temperatures rise on hot, sunny days, the heat reacts with gases produced by smokestacks and tailpipes, giving rise to deadly levels of ozone or smog. Ozone attacks lung tissue, causing irritation, redness and swelling, an effect that is often compared to sunburn in the lungs. Unlike sunburn, you can�t simply apply sunscreen or wear a hat. That�s why cleaning up major air pollution sources is our only form of prevention.
That begins with coal-fired power plants, which are the biggest source of carbon pollution in our country, but the cars and trucks we drive are also a concern. Separate from obvious health and safety concerns, smokestack and tailpipe emissions are also directly linked to the unprecedented rise in greenhouse gas emissions.
What can be done? Setting tighter standards for carbon emissions will spur coal-fired power plants to clean up their smokestacks and improve the quality of the air we breathe. Reducing tailpipe emissions and cleaning up the gasoline we use to fuel our cars and trucks would produce the air quality equivalent of taking 33 million cars off the road. Consider this: cleaner gasoline will cost only a penny more per gallon and prevent tens of thousands of asthma attacks, return 52,000 lost workdays to the economy and save 2,500 lives each year, delivering an estimated $10.8 billion in national health benefits annually.
There is no doubt that tougher air quality standards are needed to protect our nation�s families. Staring with coal-fired power plants will yield the broadest impact. President Obama also cannot continue to expect grandparents with COPD and children with asthma to wait for relief. If Washington fails to finalize the new gasoline and tailpipe emissions standards before the end of this year, we will all be stuck waiting at least another full year before auto manufacturers can comply with these necessary new rules, and that�s a long time to hold our breath.
Jim Harrington is a field organizer for the American Lung Association in Michigan.

WASHINGTON — President Obama is expected to announce Thursday that he intends to elevate his chief of staff and former budget director, Jacob J. Lew, to be his next secretary of Treasury, according to people familiar with the decision.
If confirmed by the Senate, Lew, 57, would be Obama's second Treasury secretary, replacing Timothy F. Geithner, the last remaining principal on Obama's economic team, at the head of that team.
While Lew has much less experience than Geithner in international economics and financial markets, he would come to the job with far more expertise in fiscal policy and in dealing with Congress than Geithner did when he became secretary at the start of Obama's term. That shift in skills reflects the changed demands , as emphasis has shifted from the global recession and financial crisis of Obama's first years to the continuing budget fights with Republicans in Congress to stabilize the growth of federal debt.
The partisan tension over the budget between Obama and Republicans suggests that Lew will face a grilling by Senate Republicans in confirmation hearings. Despite weeks of speculation that Lew would be named Treasury secretary, Republicans have not signaled that they will stage the kind of opposition they put up to Obama's potential nomination of UN Ambassador Susan Rice for secretary of state, and Chuck Hagel as secretary of defense; Obama named Hagel on Monday and has nominated Senator John F. Kerry, Democrat of Massachusetts, for secretary of state.
Lew's departure would create an important vacancy for what would be Obama's fifth White House chief of staff. The leading candidate is said to be Denis McDonough, the deputy national security adviser in the White House.
Lew had a brief turn in the financial industry before joining the Obama administration four years ago. He worked at the financial giant Citicorp, first as managing director of Citi Global Wealth Management and then as chief operating officer of Citigroup Alternative Investments.
His first job with Obama was in the State Department, where he was the deputy secretary responsible for managing day-to-day operations of the department and its international economic policy. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton protested to Obama in 2010 when the president tapped Lew to replace Peter R. Orszag as his budget director.
It was Lew's second stint heading the Office of Management and Budget. He had served during President Clinton's second term, helping to negotiate a bipartisan budget deal with congressional Republicans that led to four years of budget surpluses. In the 1980s, Lew was a senior aide to House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill, a Democrat, also advising in budget negotiations with President Reagan.
He has been deeply involved in the deficit negotiations of the past two years. And, if he were confirmed in time, as Treasury secretary his first test could come as soon as next month, when analysts expect a fight over raising the debt ceiling, which is the legal limit on the amount that the government can borrow.
Republican leaders have said they would refuse to raise the ceiling unless Obama agrees to equal spending cuts, particularly in programs like Medicare and Social Security. Obama has said that he will not negotiate over the ceiling, with the country's full faith and credit at stake.
With battle lines already drawn, the country is expected to run out of room under the ceiling sometime between mid-February and March. At that point, Congress would either need to raise the borrowing limit, or the country would start defaulting on obligated payments, like those promised to seniors, doctors, contractors, and bondholders.
