- How do I subscribe to Bibliotheca Sacra?
Simply fill out the online form, including valid credit card information. Our site is secure and easy to use. Or if you prefer, you can call the office (800-DTS-WORD, ext. 5055), or mail your payment to Bibliotheca Sacra, Dallas Theological Seminary, 3909 Swiss Ave, Dallas, TX, 75204. A complete price schedule is available online.
- What is the best way to reach the Bib Sac office?
Email is normally the best way (firstname.lastname@example.com).
- What back issues do you have in stock?
We have many back issues available for purchase, even some from the 1940s and 1950s. They are $9.00 each. But we do not have a continuous collection—it's "hit and miss." So you will need to contact the office if you are looking for a specific back issue.
If you are interested in older issues, you might also consider accessing Bibliotheca Sacra online. Here you'll find issues going back to 1934, when the Seminary first acquired the journal. Online access is included as part of every subscription.
- When does my subscription expire?
Feel free to ask us directly when your subscription expires. Your expiration date is also printed on the address label of the issues you receive. After the letters "exp" are several numbers, which indicate the year that the subscription expires, and the quarter. For example, "Exp 2009-3" indicates that the last issue of this subscription will be the third quarter of 2009 (i.e., the July–September issue of 2009).
When you receive your last issue, it will arrive in a special envelope that informs you that your subscription is ending. Inside you'll also find a convenient return envelope in which to mail a check or credit card information. Returning this envelope, rather than waiting for subsequent mailings, ensures that you won't miss a single issue.
- How can I be sure that my online order went through?
The best indicator is the confirmation email, which is sent within a few seconds after placing your order. For your safety your credit card information will be blocked out, but the other details of your order will be sent. You can keep and/or print this for your own records.
- How long does it take to receive my first issue?
As with all other print subscriptions, whether it's Time or Newsweek or Christianity Today, we ask that you allow up to six weeks for delivery of your first issue. However, it usually takes about half this amount of time. However, feel free to begin accessing the online content immediately after you subscribed online or mailed your payment.
- How often is the online content updated? Can I read the current issue?
The online version of Bibliotheca Sacra is updated on an ongoing basis as print versions of the journal are published. The online content will normally be about two or three quarters behind the print version.
- What should I do if I did not receive an issue?
Simply send an email or call the office (1-800-DTS-WORD, ext. 5055), specifying which issue you did not receive. If you recently moved, please inform us of that change at this time. Be sure to include your full name as it appears on your subscription account, so we can find you in the system.
- What should I do if an issue arrives damaged?
We'll replace it. Just let us know who you are and what issue to replace.
- I'd like to quote a Bibliotheca Sacra article in something I'm writing—what do I need to do?
Probably nothing. Fair Use laws allow writers to quote sections from other authors' work, as long as you cite the source. For more information, you may consult The Chicago Manual of Style, section 4.75.
- May I post a Bibliotheca Sacra article online?
Reproducing an entire article online without permission is a copyright violation. Requests for permission (of any sort) should be submitted to our office via email or regular mail. We will evaluate your request, and respond as quickly as possible.
- Do I need to obtain permission to photocopy and distribute Bibliotheca Sacra articles for a classroom?
Not if you follow the guidelines set out in our general permission statement, which is printed on the inside front cover of every issue. It says:
Bibliotheca Sacra hereby grants permission for articles to be photocopied for use in a local congregation or classroom, if (a) no more than one hundred copies are made, (b) the material is distributed free, and (c) the copies include the notice, "Copyright (year). Reprinted from Bibliotheca Sacra." For any other use, including posting articles on the Internet, advance permission must be obtained in writing from Bibliotheca Sacra.
- Are indexes available for Bibliotheca Sacra?
At the back of the October issue published each year an index of articles and book reviews for that volume is included. Also we have published indexes for the last two decades—the 1980s and 1990s. We have limited quantities of these, and you can purchase them online for $9.00 each. (Indexes that covered earlier decades are out of print and unavailable.) Also subscribers may use the built-in search features when they access the journal online.
- Do you accept unsolicited manuscripts?
Yes. You may email your manuscript as a Word document attached to your cover letter, or you can use regular mail. We advise that you consult a recent copy of the journal itself, as well as our submission guidelines.
- How long does it take for you to evaluate a manuscript submitted for publication?
It may take up to six weeks for someone to get back to you, but normally it only takes about half that time.
- Is Bibliotheca Sacra available on CD or electronic format?
Galaxie Software publishes a CD that contains the previous year's Bibliotheca Sacra's as well as several other journals. And every paid subscription includes access to the journal online.
- How do I access the online version?
The first step is to become a subscriber! The online version is included as part of every paid subscription. To get started, go to the Access BibSac Online page where you'll find a link to the site. To access BibSac online, you'll need a username and password. These are provided in the confirmation emails sent to people who subscribe online.
If you recently subscribed by means other than the online ordering site, or if you're a long-standing subscriber but you've never accessed the site, you'll need to EMAIL the BibSac office to get your username and password. When you write the office, provided your name and address so we can confirm the subscription.
- Why am I getting error messages when I try to access Bib Sac Online through ATLA?
Bib Sac Online used to be available through ATLA; however, we are now making the online version available through EbscoHost.
- I have the new password, but what is my user name?
Your user name is not your first name or last name or any combination of these; your user name must be given to you. If you have a current, paid subscription, and would like your user name, please email the Bib Sac office with your request. Be sure to include your full name and mailing address.
- Why won't the EBSCO site accept my Account Name and Password?
If you subscribed or renewed online, your confirmation email contains the Account Name and Password to use at the EBSCO site. To avoid mistakes, you should cut and paste these, rather than retype them. Many people, for example, mistake an l for a 1, or a 0 for an O, and so forth. However, this information changes every year. You will find your new password for the year on a card inside the January-March issue. If you continue to have difficulty, please contact the office.
- EbscoHost let me in without asking for my user name or password, but I can't access Bib Sac.
Ebsco utilizes IP authentication, which may automatically allow or restrict access to the site. For example, if you attempt to access the system using a work computer, and your employer has paid for access to certain materials, then the system will recognize you accordingly and you will not be able to use Bib Sac Online. If you¹re being falsely recognized, please consult the support page at EbscoHost, or write their tech support. As a last resort, you can bypass IP authentication. If you would like to do so, email the Bib Sac office with your name and mailing address so we can verify that you have a current subscription.

How to test this distribution ?
- You have three methods :
- Burn a DVD (see page "installation")
- Install a minimum of 4GB USB Flash Drive (see page "installation")
- Test in a "Virtual Machine"
This method does not achieve the nominal performance of the system but can be seen in operation without installing anything on your computer. This is also true if you launch the DVD or USB key in session "live" only.
Use of a virtual machine
We recommend that you use the VirtualBox software as it runs on all hardware platforms, and more is Free Software.
- For beginners working environments :
- Windows, start by reading Installing Ubuntu inside Windows,
- Mac : start by reading Running Windows 7 on MacOSX or seeing this Tutorial video
- Linux and Co : start by reading installation/appliances virtualbox
- Features of the virtual machine to test Emmabuntüs :
- Set 640 MB RAM (1 GB minimum for Emmabuntüs 2)
- Allocate ( 3 + 1 ) * ISO size for the virtual disk, because the installation of distribution holds 3 * ISO size
- Take a fixed-size disk, it avoids surprises of lack of space during testing
- Book quarter of the memory on your graphics card
- To enable this "hosting" the physical machine (computer) must have at least 2GB of RAM and of course more than ( 3 + 1 ) * ISO size GB free hard disk.
Use in live mode
Distributions Emmabuntüs require at least 1 GB of RAM to run in live mode, otherwise you will get a login screen at launch, and you can not log in due to lack of RAM space to create user data. In order to operate a Emmabuntüs in live mode with less than 1 GB of RAM on your machine, it is necessary to use persistent mode with a virtual disk on USB 1 GB. To use this mode, you must create your USB key for example with Multisystem or USB Creator.
For what type of computers ?
We have already installed our distribution on very different types of machines, including low power to our tests, for example :
- Netbooks: Asus eeePC 701 (an early model with disk SSD) and 1001PX (one of the latest models but with classic 160 GB HDD)
- A mini PC with an Intel Atom 410 + 1GB of RAM (in dual boot with Ubuntu)
- A classic IBM Thinkpad T60 laptop (in dual boot with XP)
- Different Desktop NEC and HP for years 2005 - 2007
These workstations are used daily in production.
What is the password default distributions ?
The default password is : avenir only applies for installation by the Emmaus communities.
In Live mode or virtual machine under no password password is required. If it is asked is that the machine has less than 1 GB of RAM (eg 512MB). Because of this limitation, Emmabuntüs 2 can not finish its startup RAM. If with 1GB of RAM, the password is requested please report this problem: contact
How to change the default password distributions ?
This is necessary to control the use of computers within the family. By default we create the administrator account with the name "emmabuntus" and the password "avenir", to change the password, please follow the steps below.
We recommend you visit the site Internet without fear (in french), to familiarize yourself with the new information technologies, or to read backgrounder on the desktop of your machine to understand the issues and risks that your children are exposed to a computer. And remember that even if you feel overwhelmed before the computer skills of your children, it is always your parents, and it is you who set the rules of use, and useful lives of the computer within the family circle.
Ubuntu, like all other operating systems family GNU/Linux is an inherently multi-user system. This means that you are not limited to a single user account in the operation of your computer. You can create multiple user accounts for each user of your computer, as well as for various uses.
What is a user account ? this is a collection of parameters relating to a particular profile. These parameters include the details of identity of a user (name, profile photo, etc..), Or the list of user groups which its account is part and many personal data (mailboxes, passwords, preferences of the software used, choice of theme desktop environment, etc..)
Multiply user accounts in a multi-user is a guarantee of safety. Take for example a typical family, two parents and two children. By creating a user account for each individual, it will be possible to set that parents can install new software, but not children, each person can configure their working environment, according to their tastes, needs and moods, each will have its own address book and its mailbox, unmixed with emails from other family members, some sensitive areas of the computer can be put out of reach of children.
To manage the various user accounts, Ubuntu includes the tool users-admin.
Find the tool for managing user accounts :
The tool users-admin is in the menu System → Administration and runs by selecting the menu item Users and Groups.
Manage your user account :
Once the program is executed, the interface opens with a list of user accounts. By default, all user accounts can not be changed, except the current account, since its current session, a user can change settings related to their account only.
Select your own user account in the list and press the Properties to access advanced information. The tasks of modifications you can apply to your own account are limited: you can only change your password. Other administrative tasks on your behalf can be made by administrators.
Change their password :
The utility users-admin allows a user to change his password session. It is this that is used for the opening of the session user.
To change this password:
- Press [Edit] which lies to the right of the title Password;
- In the new window that opens, enter your current password in the field Current Password;
- Then:
- * Check the Enter a password manually and manually enter a password of your choice in the box New Password. Repeat the same password in the box Confirmation or
- * Check the Generate a random password. A password is randomly generated. Memorize it;
- (Optional - Administrator only) Check 'Do not ask for password to login' to allow this account to log on without entering a password. Only an administrator can enable or disable this feature on any account;
- Press [Validate] to save your changes.
For more details on the management accounts and user groups, see the full article on the site Ubuntu (in french).

Tips for using Emmabuntüs (10.04 LTS)
My Webcam does not work on Skype
Under version Emmabuntus derived from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, use this launcher in order to properly configure Skype.
#!/bin/sh if [ ! -e ~/.Skype/shared.xml ]; then mkdir -p ~/.Skype cp /usr/share/skype/shared.xml ~/.Skype/shared.xml fi export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype "$@"
The skype-wrapper.sh launcher can be downloaded here.
Copy this launcher in your home directory, for example, and give it execute permissions
(Right click the file -> Properties -> Permissions Tab)
and check "Allow executing file as a program", then click Close.
Then double-click the launcher to launch Skype-wrapper.sh.
If you encounter other problems with Skype, visit this page (in french).
I have to re-enter my WiFi key every boot ?
No, you can record it but the registration is not done by clicking on the network name, and completing your WiFi key. If you made as the system asks you at startup.
Here is the procedure to permanently store:
I can not change the background screen, the default wallpaper is reset after every reboot
In Emmabuntüs 10.04 management offices wallpaper is made by the software Wallpapoz, and make a substantive change to screen following the conventional method of Ubuntu does not work, because on the next reboot, Wallpapoz will overwrite your settings.
To change the wallpaper of a desktop should start Wallpapoz -> Utilities submenu and replace the wallpaper with those desired. Wallpapers classic Ubuntu is in /usr/share/backgrounds.
This operation is not valid for all screens configuration because the startup script test the screen resolution, and depending on it changes the configuration file of Wallpapoz. To apply your new config for all screens resolutions you must copy your file 4 times here: ~/.Wallpapoz be the last change for example wallpapoz_ecran_16_9.xml file must be copied in wallpapoz_ecran_4_3.xml, wallpapoz_ecran_5_4.xml, wallpapoz_ecran_16_10.xml to apply your changes to the four screen sizes.
Tips for using Lemmabuntüs (10.04 LTS)
How to automatically log on Lemmabuntüs ?
- Open a terminal window: Accessories → LXTerminal
- Type this line in the terminal, to edit the default file: sudo leafpad /etc/lxdm/default.conf
- Enter the administrator password
- Add this line under [base]: = autologin your_login_name
- Save the file and edit
- The next time, your session will automatically open.
Note: This only works if you chose the default connection (default), if you choose another connection type, you will learn another file, see /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lxdm/lxdm.conf
Pysycache from the dock of the Lemmabuntüs don't start
This comes from a poor default configuration of the launcher and patch is available here.
Download the package, then try its execution, then you must restart the machine for the fix effective.
Tips for using Emmabuntüs 2 (12.04 LTS)
On some machines, Emmabuntüs 2 might freeze when started in Live mode. In such case, you should check if you are in one of the following situations :
- DVD was not burned correctly
- Not enough RAM space
- Hardware compatibility issue
To clearly identify the root cause of the problem you need to press the Escape key when the loader screen is displayed, which will allow you to follow the various steps executed by the loader and to identify the reason of the freeze.
Bad DVD reading:
If you see a message containing the word "initramfs", the problem is certainly due to either a defective DVD reader, or a bad burning of the DVD irself. To check this kind of issue, please press the space bar when the Vitruvian Man pictogram is showing up, choose your language and validate. Then select the line "Check disk for defects" [Vérifier si le disque a des défauts] and wait for the end of the DVD analysis.
Memory shortage:
during the loading phase, if you see the message « user Emmabuntus does not exist » or if a login window does open in Life mode, then the machine may not have enough memory space. Remember that you need a minimum of 1GB of RAM in order to run correctly in Live mode. An alternative is to use an USB key with the activation of the persistent mode in order to use only 512 MB of RAM.
Hardware compatibility issues:
Some machines do not integrate correctly the following standards:
The Linux kernel provides you with options to disable the functions which are not supported correctly. See the Common Kernel Options. It exits two methods to identify which option you need to deal with,
- Display the loader messages, and decypher the latest messages before the freeze to understand wich option to chose.
- Launch a search request on Internet with « Brand and Model of the machine + Ubuntu » keywords.
If you don't see an error message but get a black screen instead, you problem most probably comes from the graphic card. In this case you need to use the option « nomodeset ». This options as well as these disable the new display handler modes for the graphic cards.
Once you have identified the option to add during the DVD loading sequence, press on the space bar, select your language, press the F6 key and validate with the Entry key in order to select your option, then on Escape to exit from this menu, and then validate the Live mode start.
If the Live mode executes correctly, then you can install your system directly from this mode by clicking on the "Install Emmabuntus 12.04 LTS" disk icon on the desktop.
When the system reboot, you will face the same problem, and you need to modify directly the Emmabuntus loader. In order to do so, and if you have only one system installed on your machine, you need to press the Right Shift key (not the left one please) to display the GRUB menu at load time.
Press the "e" key to switch to editing mode, and manually add your option after the « quiet splash » one. In our example we have added the option "noapic". Then press the F10 key to reload the system.
At this point, if everything goes well during the system launch, you can finalize the Ezmmabuntus post-installation, and then, before restarting the machine again, it is necessary to make the loader options persistent; Two methods to achieve this:
- The classical method consists in editing the grub file. Open a terminal window and type the command :
sudo leafpad /etc/default/grub
then edit the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to add in there your option(s). For example :
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noapic" Save the file and to make the change effective enter the commande sudo update-grub
- The graphical method uses Boot-Repair. You can start it either by typing boot-repair in a terminal window, or by clicking on the « Mouse » in the top left of the screen to open the application menu. Type boot in the search area and then click on the Boot-Repair line.
Within the Boot-Repair window select the Advanced options (bottom left of the window) then the tab Grub options, click in the box Add a kernel option then select the proper option within the pop-up menu, and then Apply the change.
Tips for using Emmabuntüs 3 (14.04 LTS)
After the system installation the keyboard map is in QWERTY mode
To solve the problem of switching the keyboard map between QWERTY and AZETY, open a terminal window (press the Windows + T keys) : ibus-setup (if ibus-setup is not already installed enter : sudo apt-get install ibus) In the new window which opens, you go in the "Avancé" ["Advanced"] tab and click in the box "Utiliser la disposition clavier système" ["Use the system default keyboard"] Restart the computer to make the change effective.
Solution found on the Forum Ubuntu-Fr, and adapted for Xubuntu 14.0
How to avoid the QWERTY keyboard issue when installing Emmabuntüs 3
In order to avoid the keyboard QWERTY bug during the Emmabuntüs 3 installation, as well as the Xubuntu 14.04 and probably also Ubuntu 14.04, we suggest that you follow this method during the installation process : during the startup from the DVD, when the Vitruvian Man pictogram is showing up (see below) press the space bar, and then follow the procedure explained here : Emmabuntüs 3 Installation Instructions - Starting Up
If you don't press the Space bar when the Vitruvian Man pictogram is displayed, you are going to see a window similar to the one below, and starting from this point, we noticed that the installation engine has the tendency to map to a QWERTY keyboard instead of a AZERTY one, even if the French language and keyboard are chosen during the installation.
Computer with Nvidia graphic card freezes during installation or utilization of Emmabuntüs 3
Some Nvidia graphic cards – for example the C61 GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 – produce a system freeze when the screen saver is triggered either during the installation phase or during the regular use of the system.
To solve this problem during the install phase you need to start in LIVE mode, and then, before launching the install, disable the screen saver by opening a terminal window (press Windows + T keys) and executing the command pkill xscreensaver.
When the system reboot, you can also execute this command to disable the wallpaper during the post-installation phase, but it would be better to uninstall completely the screen saver. In fact, even when using the Nvidia proprietary drivers, the screen saver freeze problem is still there. To do so open a terminal window and execute the command sudo apt-get remove xscreensaver
Please note also that concerning these Nvidia graphic cards, it is highly recommended to use the proprietary drivers, otherwise some random freezes may occur with the Open source drivers.
After installation under VirtualBox, the display is no longer full screen size
After having installed Emmabuntüs 3 under VirtualBox, the virtual machine cannot manage the full screen size window.
In order to let VirtualBox handle correctly the full screen display, you must reinstall the optional extension of the virtual machine.
Within the VirtualBox application, click on the « Devices » button, then select « Install CD image for guest additions ».
This action mounts within the virtual machine a virtual disk containing additional extensions.
Open the file explorer (Press Windows+E keys) or right click on mounting, then a right click in the folder and select « Open a terminal here ».
In this terminal window, type the command :
sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Then enter the password and validate the installation with "Y".
When the install is complete, restart your vikrtual machine which should now use the full screen.
Tips for using Emmabuntüs 2 (12.04 LTS) or 3 (14.04 LTS)
The Emmabuntüs contains too many software !!!
This us a very good point is made by many people, this is why we have incorporated in this version 3 profiles dock (Experienced, Beginners, Children) by language. This does not delete any program, but allows for each user profile to have its environment, and may if it wishes to change its Dock without altering the profiles of two other docks.
To change the profile of the Dock :
Here is an example for the sub menu Office :
Note : We made this choice to install too much software, because if we had proposed the installation of software to the card, we would have had enormous difficulties to dynamically update the docks, because that would require understanding how it , to sort of reverse engineering on the dock management, and any changes by the team of Cairo-Dock, we would have to redo everything. Given the size of current disks that represents an installation of 10 GB? But you are always free not to use all software in the distribution, and we will keep you no grudge, for that matter, for my part I never use Mr. Potato Head ;-)
See the incomplete list of software Emmabuntüs 2 or Emmabuntüs 3.
The management of docks in different languages
The Emmabuntüs 2 contains a set of basic dock for the following languages :
- French
- English
- Spanish
- Portuguese
- German
- Italian
- Arabic
The dock fits the language of your system, and if you use your system for a language not supported by the Emmabuntüs 2, it will be in English.
How to change language in Emmabuntüs ?
If your language is not supported, you should be in English by default, or if your language is supported partially do the following:
Note: If your language is not in the list, do Maintenance -> Update Manager and update, or in a terminal window: sudo apt-get update
Note: If the language can not install, update your system, do Maintenance -> Update Manager, and update.
On tab "Regional Formats":
Now you just need to restart for the changes to take effect.
Note : All programs are not managed by the System, and for some of them it is necessary to go to the preferences of the software to change the language. All do not support as many languages as the operating system, but if you think that the software has not your native language should have, then contact the developers and help for translation.
How to configure the parental control in Emmabuntüs ?
See the article for the How-To section of Kioskea
How to Emmabuntüs under LXDE ?
- For 1.04 and later, follow the procedure below:
Launch from the dock in Expert mode: Utilities → Installation LXDE, or run this command in a terminal:
Disconnect and reconnect by selecting the LXDE or OpenBox environment in the selector at the bottom left of the login window
- For versions prior to version 1.04 follow the procedure below:
To change the desktop manager, you must :
- Install LXDE package by clicking on this link apt://lxde to this address Tutoriel Ubuntu-LXDE (in French), which run the following command in a terminal :
sudo apt-get install-y-qq lxde
- Disconnect and reconnect by selecting the LXDE environment in the selector at the bottom left of the login window
- When you restart the Dock Cairo-Dock is the bar management LXDE menus, but just go to the bar and do a right-click of the mouse, then "Preferences panel" and select Position, Edge, Top.
That now you know all about manipulation to ;-)
PS: for perfectionists: if you want the stop button on the bottom right at the dock, you must install :
sudo apt-get install-y-qq lubuntu-default-settings
then put lubuntu-logout instead of xfce4-session-logout in control of the stop button (right-click and Edit), but it is only applied to the current profile at the Dock, so if you profile must change it again !
After installing Emmabuntüs a package is broken, and it blocks the updates or installations
Sometimes a packet is broken at the end of the installation : it is often a codec pack Adobe Flash.
This is due to the activation of packages third (fluendo mp3) during installation it is preferable to do not check, as they will be installed at the discretion of the users in the first restart the computer.
To resolve this deadlock, you must:
- Go to Synaptic (the mouse icon on the top left -> System -> Synaptic Package Manager or in a terminal window type synaptic)
- Make fix broken packages (Edit -> Fix broken packages)
- Reload deposits (circular arrow left under File)
- Select two packages to complete removal Flash (Search: magnifying glass to "flash", then select the package and click Remove right complete)
- Reinstall (Select the packages and click Install right)
After these manipulations few warmup, everything should return to normal, but if your browser due to this does not always visualize videos in Flash format, use the following solution: "I can not view videos in Flash format".
Blocking when updating the distribution because issue.net and lsb-release files
In the last updates of August 2012, a deadlock occurs when replacing a file where issue.net or lsb-release, despite the authorization by the user to override where to keep those files.
To fix that make a computer restart and retry the update, then when applying the system to replace these files, accept the replacement thereof, and everything should get sorted.
Note : These two files serve only to inform the version of the distribution, and does not affect system operation.
The drag/drop into the Multisystem window does not work
This anomaly comes from GTK who is unable to support drag/drop Xubuntu. To get to use Multisystem, here are two ways to add an ISO file on the USB :
- Right-click -> Copy your ISO file, and in the area of drag/drop Multisystem, use CTRL+V, then press "ENTER".
- Use multi-selection interface, and double click on your ISO file, then click the Create button (big green button at the bottom right)
The Dock of the distribution is double
This may arise from the use of backup mode session, we do not recommend using. To find a healthy situation, please turn it off, but this does not solve the problem because cache backup session is not emptied. To clean the following command :
rm -r ~/.cache/sessions/*
Dock Emmabuntüs distribution was replaced by Cairo-Dock
If you have a dock like this :
instead of the usual dock below :
To retrieve the version Emmabuntüs dock, it's pretty simple : go to the home directory and then display hidden files (press Ctrl + H for non-specialists) and go to the directory .Config. In this directory you should find link the name of "cairo-dock". If instead you have a directory "cairo-dock" must rename it (right click of the mouse on the folder "Cairo-dock" and rename eg "cairo-dock-old" (do not delete it as you can return to the previous situation, besides our launcher does not remove and do not point the dock Emmabuntüs because of it) and reboot, and everything should return to normal.
AutoPlay CD/DVD does not work
If the Audio CD and DVD are not automounted, it comes from a misconfiguration on the launch of the media.
To correct this problem, click on Utilities in the dock, then Settings -> Disk and removable media, and the Multimedia tab.
In this panel you must place the following commands:
- Audio CD: /usr/bin/audacious -E cdda://
If you prefer smplayer or VLC commands here:
- /usr/bin/smplayer cdda://
- /usr/bin/vlc --playlist-autostart cdda://
- DVD-Video: /usr/bin/smplayer dvd://
If you prefer VLC the command is: /usr/bin/vlc --playlist-autostart dvd://
My WIFI card no longer works in Emmabuntüs
Notebooks with Broadcom cards (mainly HP and Dell) using the free driver "Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver" does not work on Emmabuntus 2, although it is proposed automatically.
Relevant cards: Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-, BCM4321-, BCM4322-, BCM43224-, and BCM43225-, BCM43227-and BCM43228-basedhardware.
It is therefore not to download and install a new one, we have successfully tested the extractor b43 firmware.
Must first identify the card as there are at least 3 sets corresponding to 3 different installers:
- Firmware-b43-installer: BCM4306/3 BCM4311, BCM4312, BCM4318
- Firmware-b43-installer-lpphy: BCM4312 (with Low Power aka LP-PHY)
- Firmware-b43legacy-installer: BCM4301, BCM4303, BCM4306/2
These three packages are used to download a firmware supplied by Broadcom owner.
These packages depend on all 3 of b43-fwcutter, which is used to extract the firmware from the downloaded archive and install on the system.
ID: type the command in a terminal: lspci | grep Network
- If the return is for example:
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11a/b/g (rev 02)
Install (only the installation command line worked in our case)
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
Answer yes (Enter) during extraction and restart the PC at the end.
- If the return is:
01:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b / g LP-PHY (rev 01)
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer-lpphy
- If the WIFI does not work try the following commands in a terminal window:
sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source (remove competitor wl driver)
sudo rmmod b43 sudo rfkill unblock all sudo modprobe b43 (b43 reinstalls)
sudo rmmod b43 (b43 temporarily remove) sudo rmmod wl sudo rmmod BCMA (removes the drivers and competitors wl BCMA) sudo modprobe b43 (b43 reinstalls)
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Add at the end of the file that has just opened in "root": blacklist BCMA (BCMA competitor blacklist the driver)
- For a permanent solution, edit the file "/etc/modules" by adding the line "b43"
sudo nano /etc/modules (opening nano in"root" also works with gedit)
I can not see the video in Flash format
This may be due to an incompatibility between the new version of Adobe Flash Player, and your hardware. We recommend that you install Flash player version provided by the Linux-Mint, and available in Emmabuntüs 2, under Maintenance -> Software Not Free -> Linux-Mint Flash
I can view Flash videos, but they are choppy
This behavior may indicate a power problem on your machine, you should use the application Minitube to view the videos of Youtube. To install this application please run the following commands in an xterm, under Maintenance -> Terminal Emulator :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/minitube && sudo apt-get update -qq && sudo apt-get install -y -qq minitube

You need to read the wording of that more carefully. The filer of the request for a takedown just says that he has a good-faith belief that he is acting on the behalf of the owners of the copyright. The guy who tells him to fire the notice isn't under any kind of oath or penalty at all.
So all the lawyer has to say is "I believed my client." and he's off the hook. And the client was never ON the hook.
So all the lawyer has to say is "I believed my client." and he's off the hook. And the client was never ON the hook.
You confuse criminal and civil law. The standard for proving your case is MUCH lower in civil cases. All you need to do is convince a judge that the lawyer should have done his homework before sending off a takedown letter.
And it's REALLY easy to convince a judge that some lawyer didn't do his homework.
17 U.S.C. 512(f) Misrepresentations. – Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under this section —
(1) that material or activity is infringing, or
(2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification,
shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner's authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of the service provider relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.
Take that as you will, I imagine it depends on a case by case basis but lost revenue should be included, in at least some cases (IANAL, of course).
The problem is that it only applies to complainants who "knowingly materially misrepresent". In order for that to be the case, the complainant would need to properly understand that the lending system in question is legitimate. Based on the summary text, I'd say that this understanding is decidedly lacking. It's possible that some folks are issuing complaints cynically, with the understanding that the lending is legitimate, but it seems far more likely to me that most of the complaints are knee-jerk reactio
in this case it's simple to prove the "knowingly materially misrepresent". The contract that those authors SIGNED with Amazon explicitly says in very BOLD LETTERS:

5.2 Marketing and Promotion; Kindle Book Lending Program.
5.2.2 Kindle Book Lending Program. The Kindle Book Lending program enables customers who purchase a Digital Book to lend it subject to limitations we establish from time to time. All Digital Books made available through the Program are automatically included in the Kindle Book Lending program. However, for Digital Books that are in the 35% Royalty Option (as described in the Pricing Page), you may choose to opt out of the Kindle Book Lending program. This will disable lending of the Digital Book by customers who purchase it after you have opted it out, but this will not affect the right of customers who purchased it when lending was enabled to continue to lend it. You may not choose to opt out a Digital Book if it is included in the lending program of another sales or distribution channel. If we become aware that a Digital Book you have opted out is included in the lending program of another sales or distribution channel, we may enable it for lending. Digital Books that are in the 70% Royalty Option (as described in the Pricing Page) cannot be opted out of the lending feature.

The DMCA (which I assume the takedown requests are filed under) already includes a provision that states the claimant is liable for all costs associated with false takedown requests. People just haven't bothered to push them on it.
Ahem. (cough, cough).
Ah, attention legal staff of the EFF. This is what we like to call a "golden moment"...
And now they are engaging in book-burning..... I mean topic erasing. The topic where the authors complained has been deleted. They are trying to cover-up their actions.
I created a new topic here: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,122736.0.html [kindleboards.com]
And now I got banned.
No warning of any kind.
They just didn't like my copying of slashdot's article to their forum. That shows you how these authors operate in the real world. Censorship and shutting-down personal websites of their readers/buyers.
They not only banned you
The message you posted also got deleted !
I have just lost all respect to those so-called "authors"
According to the DMCA process, the hosting company must take-down "claimed" infringing content. Then the victim has the right to respond and say "This does not infringe copyright. We are following the lending rules laid-down by Amazon, B&N, and the Authors Guild. This ie perfectly legal."
The next step under DMCA is for the complaining authors to sue the web owners/users. Of course I doubt that they will. The authors have better things to do then spend money they don't have fighting a court case the
More than likely the 'Authors' arent involved but the 'Publishers' are the ones with complaints. That said what they can do is just keep bogging you down in DMCA complaints.
It almost looks like it was an orchistrated effort on the part of the copyright lobby to mass-complain on a single site to get it shut down.
What he should do is just redirect everyone to tuebl.com
It's basically a DDOS attack, in this case "DMCA Denial Of Service".
I did not see DMCA mentioned, only "cease and desist". The "were infuriated" link contains equal parts infuration and people reminded the infuriated that lending was part of their agreement, if they checked the box to allow it.
You invented DMCA because you associate it with copyright protection. What seems to have happened, based on the information presented, is that the hosting company was inundated with C&D notices instead of DMCA. These are legally backed threats which can lead to lawsuits directly, outside of the control of the DMCA process.
In other words, the hosting company most likely had a choice between shutting down the service and responding to multiple court summons, if not full blown cases. Were I the hosting company, I would have folded, and I would have laid the responsibility of responding to the customer, just as this company did.
C&D is a lose-lose proposition unless you have deep enough pockets to defend yourself. DMCA covers the host well enough if tey do what they are supposed to do. Which is most likely why the authors went with C&D instead of DMCA. One is quicker, one is more effective. If you're going for the kill, as the summary says, C&D is the way to go.
Then the hosting company can be sued. They are not supposed to remove material (or suspend accounts) unless they FIRST receive a DMCA-compliant takedown request. Plus give the owner a chance to respond to the request. That is the current federal law and the ISP violated it.
Also I doubt there was a single lawyer involved; just a bunch of angry authors sending nasty messages. Those have ZERO legal standing, unless they were specifically formatted as a DMCA takedown notice.
That would depend on the agreement between the hosting provider and the hostee. Most likely it says "we can take down your stuff whenever we feel like it".
Yes and my housing association contract says, "No antennas or dishes allowed on roofs." That clause was nullified by the 1996 Telecommunications Act and so too is any ISP clause that is nullfied by the DMC Act.
They are not allowed to suspend a user simply because of an email from a complaining author or lawyer. They MUST follow the DMCA process and give the user a chance to respond, "No this does not infringe anybody's copyright or ownership."
DMCA and cease and desist are two completely different things. If a DMCA notice comes in, they have to remove the content until they get a counter-notice. Cease and desist is a warning of future legal action, and you can decide whether to comply or fight. This host decided to comply.
You are correct that a cease and desist notice has zero legal standing, except that they are warnings of impending legal action if not complied with, or adequately responded to. And your last phrase kinda makes my point. Th
A Cease and Desist Notice is an entirely different animal than a Cease and Desist Order, signed by a judge.
It's far more likely that random authors sent out copypasta C&D threats^w notices and the hosting company folded as a result of ignorance.
Correct. They are basically spamming because they are pissed at the way things work and likely didn't read the contract they signed. And because it's Amazon and other huge companies that the ebooks are managed under, they are boned when it comes to re-working their contracts with them. If the Kindle allows sharing, until it doesn't any more, you have a legitimate right to use the function if they allowed it when they signed up.
The person in question needs to get his own server and net connection set up (
Actualy the hosting provider is only required to take down properly formatted DMCA requests. With few exceptions this can never be a whole site. So in this case they would need to have lined to books they have control over the copyright. Now it sounds like he screwed up and did not file counter claim for each and every inbound take down notice. He should be suing everybody that sent these DMCA notices. His provider probably has it covered in his tos the DMCA is weak in allowing you to get out of liabil
Here's a perfect example. I would not accept this bitch's apology if it were me. She probably saw the site and 30 seconds later was sending a takedown notice w/o ever bothering to do any research. And she ruijhne d an's website because of ti. I hate bitches (and bastards) like her....... mshe should be fined $1000 for filing a false DMCA request
Owner of Website - if you are reading this. It might be worth getting a list of those who complained, you know? I was one of them. I overreacted, did
There is another option.
Go with a provider that has some backbone and won't just shut someone down on some specious and dubious copyright claims.
He is a business already paying fees, why not just give those fees to a place like Free Speech hosting?
whois reveals that their host is: http://www.medialayer.com/contact/index.html
I suggest hosting the site at Amazon Web Services.
Surely the irony of them shutting down this website would have imploded the universe.
Crowdsourcing is only a viable option when you only need "good enough", and you can get an informed crowd together. In this case, not only is it inadvisable, it is dangerous. I would not trust volunteers to respond. An inadequate response could very well led to an undesirable situation.
If no reply is sent, the author's representation will almost certainly file suit, so you want to ensure no response is overlooked. If you do not sufficiently address each point of a C&D, your response will be considered evidence against the person you are trying to help. If in any way the volunteer gives the impression of disdain or dismissiveness, intentional infringement will be claimed.
Keep in mind, you will win any lawsuit, because they agreed to lending as part of the publishing agreement. But paying for the defense could be expensive, especially if multiple suits are filed. One volunteer screwing up and you are probably financially ruined.
And no need to bring up the "have to be rich to get justice" garbage, it's been beaten to death. Yes, it's not fair, and yes in most cases it is true. We have discussed it to death, just leave it be.
If you know you're going to win why pay for a defense? Just represent yourself. The facts in the case are self-evident.
You never know you're going to win. It's always a crapshoot. Sure, sometimes the dice are loaded in your favor, but even loaded dice fall wrong sometimes. You didn't know the proper legal procedure? And no, it's not intuitively obvious. You're screwed. Even if you did everything legal right, dotted all the "i"s and crossed all the "t"s, it's still a crapshoot. Especially if an opinionated judge, or a jury, is involved.
"A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client." It's unfortunate, but true. Sometimes, if you have a sympathetic judge, you can get away with it. But don't count on it.
There are lots of easy ways forward for him, but he seems to be even more butthurt than the people complaining to his host. All he was asked to do was respond to them. Fine. We don't need to crowdsource that. Don't handle any complaints, just send them all the same three paragraphs and be done. Add some text to the site somewhere to discourage this in the future. We don't need to hold this guy's weiner for him, if he wants to be in business he knows what to do.
The fact is, the site owner has a reasonably
That..... and he lives in California, which Amazon is in dispute with. They suspended all affiliates in that state, so the guy's "business" has not made any money in 9 months. I can understand why he has no motivation to restore a website from which he gets no income.

Hi yes. I received this email that you are complaining because I (and others) are loaning out books with our Kindles and Nooks. This is perfectly legal under the terms of Amazon and Barnes & Noble's contracts with the Authors' Guild.

>Is there any alternative sites out there?
Yes, it's called bittorrent, because clearly the publishers are not interested in playing by the rules anyway. If it was up to them, brick and mortar libraries would disappear too.
This would let a LOT of these kind of sites flourish.
I say, turn it around on them. Let them all spaz out when they see 100 more sites offering this service pop up.
I have mod points and I could have modded you down. Having 100+ similar sites isn't going to work. The strength of the concept is to have all owners join one, or perhaps a few, of these sites. 100 sites with 1.000 members is a lot less effective than 1 site with 100.000 members.
He should publish the name of the authors who complained. Authors are definitely vulnerable to negative press. And certainly legal threats can't be thought to be private.
This would be awesome.
Put it all for the public to see.

Mod this up!
Names? No, publish the entire email. So that we can, for instance, write the authors and share our opinion with them.
This really disappoints me.
I saw this coming when the site started circulating the facebook groups I'm involved in. In each case I explained how the site worked, and defended LendInk.com for what they were doing.
The knee-jerking that resulted in this sites shut down is a perfect exampled of what happens when a bunch of frustrated indie authors don't take the time to read or research a site before crying foul.
Another indie author here. I saw the hysteria in one of my Facebook groups last week and decided to see for myself. I searched lendink for my name and saw my three books listed. One of my titles is available only for the Kindle at the moment, so I thought I'd ask to borrow it for the Nook. That should determine whether they really were just matching up people to borrow books, or were pirating them.
Before they'd let me borrow a book, they wanted me to offer one for someone else to borrow. I pretended to have one of my own titles to offer. They asked me for the author and title so they could do a search on Amazon or Barnes & Noble, but then seemed to ignore the author and just bring up the first match for a search on the title. One of my books has the same title as about ten other books. The others have "and" in the title, which most search functions ignore. So the site wouldn't let me offer my own books to be borrowed. Meaning that regardless of whether they were pirating or lending, they weren't very good at it.
I suppose for some indie authors, it's easy to believe that the reason they're not making megabucks is because everyone's pirating their book. Easier than believing it's because of Sturgeon's Law...
I own them. Neither Amazon nor the author can take them away from me.
I can loan them to whomever I wish for however long I wish and the author can go pound sand.
No, it's not home ownership, it's vigilante justice.
Yes folks, if you are an American you can shutdown -k a the website of your choosing simply by complaining. There's not waiting for some crusty old judge or lawyers saddled by common law or the rules of evidence. Just pick a site and complain to their hosting service that something on the site violates the Mickey Mouse/Sonny Bono law Copyright or the DMCA and wait for 5 minutes.
I bet this didn't make the slightest dent in book piracy either.
Book piracy is very much like Music Piracy.
You can't stop it, no matter how hard you try.
I don't enable DRM on my books. Why? Because DRM doesn't stop piracy. I don't *want* people to pirate my book, but I don't honestly believe there is a damn thing I could do about it if my book *did* get pirated.
The hope is that the exposure I gain from any kind of piracy will offset the piracy itself. Right?
Quite the opposite. I wonder how many ex LendInkers, frustrated that their legitimate channel for sharing books was denied, threw their hands up in frustration, said "screw playing by their rules then", and took themselves away to the Pirate Bay.
Once again, thank you copyright.
With a capital F.
The 'business owner' needs to grow a pair. "Ohhhhh! Woe is me, I have to sit in my easy chair and answer E-mails! THE AMERICAN DREAM IS DEAD!" A little dramatic, are we?
What got to me was that on the complaining authors blog - which someone linked to - there was a part of a post saying that the reason they complained was because lendlnk was not an authorized lender, and only loans through authorized lenders cause the author to get their commission from the loan. Now, from what I've gathered lendlnk didn't loan the books themselves, they sent people to amazon - an authorized lender. However that's really not the big news here.
The big news is that authors are getting paid when we loan an e-book to someone else. If this is true it's horrendous.
Seriously, what's next, will they want to get paid if we read it in a new room? If we remove it from the kindle and then re-download it? If we read it in the dark? I mean, clearly it's amazon that pays out, but of course the cost ends up with the end consumer eventually... and even if it didn't, we really don't want to create another class of content producers that are fully expecting to write a book or three and then sit on their fat asses and ride the royalty checks for the rest of their lives. That's how the music and film industry got to be the giant douche-nozzles they are today - keep getting paid over and over again for the same work they already did and moved on from.
Man, I wish I could go to work at say a supermarket, work for a day, or hell work for a year... and then get paid a
Now I'm not one of those people who devalue abstract goods... Ideas, books, poetry, whatever... these are valuable things. People should get paid to bring these to the world... However they should get paid for the work they do. Paid per book, per work, or per hour - whatever business model the REAL WORLD can handle... but they shouldn't be paid for future use of work they've already done. If they write a book in three months, they should write another one six months later, or a year, if they want to keep making a living as an author. Or if they do it for fun, because they WANT to write... well then they can just as well do it while working in wallmart to put food on the table. A lot of us - me included - could probably live off things we do for fun... But only if we made it our fulltime job. Of course eventually the market for professional gameplayers and buckyball artists would be saturated, but you get the idea. If it's a fulltime job, you should get paid while you work it.
So stop going the other way by bending to give these lazy fucks more money for things they shouldn't be able to even know. If I lend my hardcopy to someone, the author doesn't get paid again. Nothing has changed in what happens, so nothing should change in the payscheme.
The big news is that authors are getting paid when we loan an e-book to someone else. If this is true it's horrendous.
It's not true. At least not with Amazon. People are getting KDP Select "Units Borrowed" confused with units lent p2p. Authors and publishers don't even see that a book has been lent P2P, and it only happens once. Apparently a lot of people sign up for KDP select and don't know that there's a difference between p2p and KDP Library lending. They see a small royalty from the "units borrowed" column because everyone in KDP select splits a pot based on the total number of borrows for the month. KDP Select
It really saddens me that we have invented that machine that can make copies for effective 0 costs and distribute them around the world with light speed for effective 0 costs again, but we pass legislation to cripple the new technology as best as we can.
It's like we invent the warp engine and pass legislation to limit the maximum speed to 100km/sec to prevent the old space rockets to go out of business. Or we invent the replicator and pass legislation to throw out at least as much food as we produce out of energy to save farming.
We need finally wake up and stop destroying new emerging markets. No wonder entrepreneurs have trouble come up with business models in the internet. It's not that people don't pay or the piracy or any other straw-man. It's the simple fact that any business on the internet is dealing with information and we try our best to destroy information sharing via politics.
Put the copyright back in the way it was (with registration, only 14 years and 14 years extension) and then successive lower the copyright terms as the distribution becomes easier and easier.
How much lost revenue we have because of the draconian copyright laws? How many new jobs can we create in the new markets?
Where it is a duty to worship the sun it is pretty sure to be a crime to examine the laws of heat. -- Christopher Morley

Monday History Lesson - UM vs. OSU 1971
1971…Taylor's Touchdown Trumps Woody's Rampage…
The year was 1971. Where were you? Richard Nixon was in his first term as President and his staff was busy figuring out how to guarantee that he would be re-elected for a second term. At any cost. U.S. troops were beginning to head home from the Vietnam War as the single greatest military disaster in American history was finally on the downside. Simon and Garfunkle were winning a Grammy for "Bridge Over Troubled Water" while John Lennon was topping the charts with "Imagine." "Patton" was winning seven Oscars at the Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director. Matt Stout was only two months old but already tossing a mini Ohio State football out of his crib as he muttered something that sounded a lot like "Go Blue!" Not surprisingly, his rapid Buckeye fan parents were already looking into psychological counseling. And the Wolverines were about to escape with a victory on Canham's Carpet at Michigan Stadium.
Michigan entered the game unbeaten at 10-0 and ranked 3rd in the nation. The Wolverines had raced through the first ten games of the season under third year coach Glenn "Bo" Schembechler, routing seven of their opponents by 28 points or more. A punishing running game, lead by the legs of All-American tailback Billy Taylor and the blocking of All-American guard Reggie McKenzie, paced the Michigan offensive attack. On defense, All-Americas Mike Taylor and Thom Darden led a unit that had yielded more than seven points in only two games all season.
Ohio State came to Ann Arbor ranked 9th in the country and with a 6-3 mark under coach Wayne Woodrow Hayes, who was starting his third decade at the helm in Columbus. After the graduation of the "Super Sophs" class that had won the 1968 national championship and three Big Ten titles, the Buckeyes had struggled with new players at several key positions on both sides of the ball, especially on offense. Ohio had managed just 10 points in conference losses to Michigan St. and Northwestern while also falling to non-conference foe Colorado in the second game of the season.
With a 7-0 mark in the conference, Michigan had wrapped up the outright Big Ten Championship and a trip to the Rose Bowl. Still, Hayes' troops smelled upset as they took to the turf on a cold and rainy day at Michigan Stadium. Through 57 minutes, it looked like Ohio might make that upset reality in the 68th edition of The Game.
The first half saw Michigan put the only points on the scoreboard with a 28-yard field goal by Dana Coin, as the Wolverines took a 3-0 lead into the dressing room for the intermission.
Midway through the third quarter, the momentum shifted to Ohio as Buckeye Tom Campana stunned the Wolverines with an 85-yard punt return for a touchdown. The touchdown, which stood as the longest punt return touchdown in The Game until 1991, gave Ohio a 7-3 advantage and silenced a shell-shocked Michigan Stadium crowd.
Ohio took the 7-3 advantage into the fourth quarter, and with Michigan starting quarterback Tom Slade on the bench with an injury, it appeared that the Campana touchdown might be enough to ruin Michigan's hope for a perfect season.
But with just over seven minutes remaining in The Game, Michigan took the ball at their own 28-yard line and began a methodic march down the field. Multiple runs by Taylor, a surprising 22-yard pass play from back-up quarterback Larry Cipa to Bo Rather, and a key 4th and 1 conversion by back-up fullback Fritz Seyferth put the pigskin at the Ohio 21.
Two and one-half minutes remained as Michigan faced 1st and 10 with their perfect season hanging in the balance. The call was to the All-America Taylor. The result was a 21-yard touchdown and pure bedlam in The Big House. Legendary Michigan Broadcaster Bob Ufer called it like this…
"Cipa rolls out to the right. Pitches off to Taylor. Taylor's to the 20, down to the 15, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, touchdown Billy Taylor! Touchdown Billy Taylor! Billy Taylor scored the touchdown...from 21 yards out! The crowd goes berserk!"
With less than two minutes to play, Ohio took the football after the Michigan touchdown with hopes of still pulling the upset. But the Buckeye rally was short-lived. Darden reached over Ohio's Dick Wakefield to intercept a Don Lamka pass at the Michigan 32, and seal the Wolverine victory. The interception was a spectacular play in the eyes of those on the Michigan sideline. To Woody Hayes, it was the worst non-pass interference call college football had ever seen.
Hayes stormed the field, screaming at officials like a little kid robbed of his candy at a candy store. A 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Ohio followed.
Hayes wasn't finished though. After the Buckeyes picked up another unsportsmanlike conduct penalty two plays later for unnecessary roughness, Hayes stormed the field once again. This time, Hayes grabbed the down marker and threw it like a javelin on to the Michigan Stadium turf. He then grabbed the first down marker and tore it into pieces. Ohio's short-tempered Field General had completely lost it.
Despite Hayes' antics, The Game was over. Final score – Michigan 10, Ohio State 7.
Michigan would take their 11-0 record to Pasadena where they would tackle Stanford on New Year's Day in a rematch of the first Rose Bowl in 1901 won by Michigan 49-0. The Wolverines would fall 13-12 on a last second field goal to finish the season with an 11-1 mark. The 1971 Wolverines would be ranked 6th in the final polls.
Coming tomorrow…1977…Leach & Co. Lock Out the Buckeyes…

The referee that day was Jerry Markbriet, who went on to the NFL and became its top official when he retired from the field. Just a little trivia contribution from a Buckeye.

As a Vietnam vet, I need to comment on your remark "...the Vietnam War as the single greatest military disaster in American history." The war was not a military disaster, but a political disaster. The American fighting forces never lost a major battle in the war. This is a recurring theme that is an insult to the American fighting man - especially to those who fought and won in Vietnam only to see their victories taken away by politicians.

I believe this is the game after which the fans tore down the goalposts. Then renewed rain drove everyone out of the staduim. A friend and I (both about 14 yrs old) and saw the huge aluminium goalpost left by the fans, so we hauled it up the steps and took it home, where it sat in my parents' back yard until they moved 30 yrs later. They gave it to one of the movers in partial payment for extra hauling, and I'm told that it's now holding up a basketball hoop in his back yard.

Friends of a Doncaster engineer who was killed in a lift accident last month have organised a charity football match in his memory this weekend.
The game is due to take place at 1pm at Rossington Main football ground in Oxford Street tomorrow. (Sunday)
Teams will don Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday strips. Lee Johnson, aged 37, of Haig Crescent, Rossington, was an Owls fan.
Lee, a father-of-two, died in a lift plunge at the office block in Hull where he was working and the tragic incident is still under investigation.
Jason Inglis, a pal since they were pupils at Hayfield School, said organisers were hoping to get a crowd of more than 500 out to watch. There will also be an after-match party at the Rossington Labour Club.
All donations will go to the father-of-two's family.
The match may become an annual event to benefit other local charities.

Interviews: Ask Derek Khanna About Government Regulations and Technology 72
Republican staffer Derek Khanna was thrust into the spotlight in December for being fired after submitting a controversial brief titled: Three Myths about Copyright Law and Where to Start to Fix it. In the brief Khanna said: "Current copyright law does not merely distort some markets – rather it destroys entire markets," a view not very popular with Republicans in the House of Representatives. Since the firing, Khanna has continued to speak out on the need for copyright reform and most recently on the law against unlocking cellphones. Derek has graciously agreed to take some time to answer your questions about copyright reform and IP law. As usual, ask as many questions as you'd like, but please, one question per post.

Not sure how to introduce the topic, other to say that to the best of my knowledge, we have 4 RB on the depth chart right now, and can really only play 2.
R. Johnson
K. Irons
K. Watson
C. Perry
If I forgot someone, lemme know.
I was never convinced that Rudi was a starting NFL back, but we gave him a chance when Dillon left town, and to cover our butt, we drafted Perry as an insurance policy if Rudi didn't work out. Complete waste of a 1st Round Pick, but I've already ranted enough about that.
Irons got hurt in the preseason, but IMO is our best back, but that could change depending on how he rehabs.
Then we're left with Watson, who turned some heads in his limited playing time, but I think that was more or less other teams not havinig enough film on him and not knowing much about him.
Post Super Bowl, what would you do to address the RB situation, and what do you honestly think the Bengals will do, if anything?
Me? I'd ship Rudi out of town for either a draft pick or a defensive player to help the depth on that side of the ball. I could honestly live with Irons and Watson. I'd also ship Perry out of town for anything. And I do mean anything.
I forgot about Dorsey and Wilson, but I don't remember them seeing the field, or if they did it was in garbage time or Special Teams. So to me, they don't really exist. Talk about them if you want, but I don't anticipate much discussion concerning them.

4 pm Sunday. No NFL Sunday Ticket this year, so I have to go to my local Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the Seahawks game. Unfortunately for me, that's the same time as the...
Steelers v. Bears game...
Which isn't on local TV...
So that joint will be crawling with Black and Gold fucksticks...
It's going to be very hard for me not to forkstab the first schmuck who talks ANY shit about XL.
I'm really just looking for advice here. I can quote facts chapter and verse, and hold my own in any argument, but I've never been completely surrounded by Steeler fantards as the sole Twelve in the room before.
How do I get through this with my sanity intact, and without shanking/getting shanked?
What do you think, sirs?
September 17, 2009
On Sunday, I shall wade through a sea of Yinzer Douchebaggery!

I think shanking will be the only thing that will get across the true message you are trying to convey to these degenerates. If you do get into an argument, just be sure not to get really outwardly worked up and loud, etc. They'll feed off of that for sure. Just stay cool, and use the power of stats and Seahawks badassery to your advantage.
