Constant Kernel Panics, Corupted file system reboots over and over
I am having some serious issues with what appears to be drive failures. However, this is a new drive. When I reisntall the system, it works perfectly fine for a few days, and then crashes with the error below. I have run smartctl -t long and no errors come up. After this crash, it rebooted twice and then came back up. I umounted the partition, did a fsck on it and it seemed to be working fine, for a few minutes. Then it crashed again and when the computer rebooted it couldn't find a valid boot partition. Luckly rebooting again into single user mode then running a fsck all all drives will bring it back up, temporarily.
Does anyone know what is going on here? What I am reading is that this an issue that has been known since 2004 but no one has bothered to fix. Something about softupdate being broken. System specs are FreeBSD 7.0 running on a Intell 1.66 GHz dual core with 2Gigs of DDR2, Intel (not sure model) motherboard with a Jmicron JMB363 controller. The log pasted below is the lastest crash. It also occurs when I put in ANY disk that isn't a member of an array. I have pasted in the logs from those crashes as well. ad8, ad10 and ad12 are all brand new and have no issues in any other computer.
I am beginning to panic ATM there seems to be a path to bring the computer back up, but as time goes on, sooner or later it just isn't going to work.
Any help you guys could give me would really be appreciated.
Most current crash:

What is your disk vendor?
Do you use custom kernel? if so post it here...
have you tried to use UFS without softupdates?
also have you used tunefs?
I experienced identical symptoms with another hard drive almost two or three weeks ago. You have a failing hard drive. There are certain sectors on your hard drive that are damaged. Writing to those sectors causes the write delays. Since they aren't at the beginning of the disk, you can use your hard drive for some time before you start experiencing those symptoms. With my hard drive, my system ran fine for a couple of days. Then, the kernel panicked infrequently. The file system remained corrupted and irreparable. I gave up and tried to salvage my data. I suggest you do the same because the more you keep spinning that drive the more difficult it'll become to access data.
"UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity."
MacBook Pro (Darwin 9), iMac (Darwin 9), iPod Touch (Darwin 9), Dell Optiplex GX620 (FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE)
Either the drive or the cable. The latter is easy enough to swap out. For the former, I'd suggest getting all your data off, and writing some character (like a zero) to the entire disk using dd. That will force bad sector relocation. Then reinstall.
I had to do that a few years ago when I had a bad cable for a while. After getting the bad sectors mapped out, it has worked fine.
Now the disk might be toast, and you have to replace it. BTW, what does the bad sector count show in smartctl? If it is growing, you have troubles.
Correction: not the bad section info, but the error rate.

The drive is fine. It has been low level formatted and I have run the Maxtor diagnostics on it with no errors, no bad sectors.. nothing. I have the same issues with two brand new Seagate 160s I threw in to back up my data with.
Smartctl -t long shows no errors at all. No bad sectors.
I am using the gen kernel. Not sure how to use UFS without softupdates. Nor have I run tunefs. Not sure how really, or what param I want to tune. Never had to do so before.
Here is the full disk info
ar0: 3 250GB SATAII Seagate RAID5 JM363
ar1: 3 320GB SATAII Seagate RAID0 JM363
ad8: Maxtor 750GB IDE
ar10 and ar12: 160GB SATAII Seagate (unplugged and disabled ATM)
At first I thought it was the drive as well, but I have the issue with ar10 and ar12 as well. I have also tried connecting up ad8 using a IDE to SATA bridge and I get the same errors. At first I thought it was the bridge device that was fried. But I get the same thing when I connect up using a brand new IDE cable.
*** Just tried turning off softupdates.

Still, I doubt that that many drives are hosed. Something else must be up.
Here is what I get when I do a smartctl -a

The format (and some of the numbers) depend strongly on the disk you use. Here's what mine displays (with lots of edits):

This is very odd.. I am not seeing any of that, even when I try it on one of my seagate drives....

Figured I would also throw in the dmesg as well.

opps! Sorry.. thought the 750 was a maxtor. Guess it is also a seagate =)
Smartctl output has always been more useful for SCSI drives. What you have is typical of IDEs (and probably SATAs); if you don't get the error rates most of the information is not that helpful. Temperatures are, I suppose, but I doubt that this is temperature related.
But do try the -a flag. It may not give you any different information, but it might.
Is this IDE or SATA? What controller are you using (you have a few)?
That makes sense. I am not using my SCSI stuff right now (have a 9 bay external SCSI tower that I am going to be converting to a SATA RAID box.. damn thing sounds like a jet!). I have a whole mess of 36gig ULTRA320 drives. Having quite a few issues with the Adaptec 2100s controllers I have so they aren't in use. Besides, don't need the speed as this is mostly my torrent/fileserver (also running SWARM so that is why it is a beefy system).
Any idea why I am getting a "unable to write to superblock" when I try to do a tunfs -n disable ? It doesn't say to run fsck /dev/ad8sd1 like most of the errors I see when I look online.
The output above is with the -a flag =(.
the 750 is IDE, the rest are SATA. They are all hooked up to a JMICRON JMB363 onboard RAID controller. It has 6 SATAII ports and of course, two IDE connectors. I have another SATA controller in there, but it isn't in use ATM. That is what the two new 160s are hooked up to. But they are unplugged.
I *think* the JMicron device was fixed, but it was broken for a long time. I'd check the lists to see if that is so. I don't keep up much with IDE or SATA devices, since all my FreeBSD disks are SCSI. So I can't help you much with that.
Do you have another IDE controller laying around to try?
While it shouldn't matter, you might want to disconnect all your disks other than the one you are having trouble with. Just removing the power connection would be good enough.
Thanks for all the help BTW. I really apprecate it. I really wish I could disconnect all the drives, but root is on the ar0. Do you think that could be it? I actually picked FreeBSD because it supported the JMIRCON device (I am a OpenBSD guy myself, Theo is pretty much my hero ever since I went down to Calgary to hear him speak =)).
If I could, right now I would back up all my Data and try again, however, when you have almost 2TB of data, it gets a little hard to find a place to put it! LOL. =).
Do you think that having root on ar0 might be the issue? I was thinking of doing a reinstall and putting the system on one of the 160s....
But this sure sounds like a driver bug, or a subtle interaction of things on your system. For me, the OS either worked or it didn't. Except when I had bad cables (one was on an IDE CD on the JMicron, which I did get to work).
The Rocket RAID is definatly not supported. It is the secondary SATA controller I threw in for the two 160s and I am just using it for the sata ports. Nothing is connected to it atm.
I was thinking that it might be becuase I have that controller is on the PCI bus, and isn't a PCI-e controller and is flooding out the PCI bus. In fact.. that is my big concern.. am I flooding out the IDE bus and getting read errors. If so.. any idea how to slow things down?
it does sound like a driver issue to me as well. Guess I might just have to wait for an updated version...
Okay. I think I have found a bad block! W00t! Can't belive I am saying that LOL. Still having issues with ad10 and ad12, but hopefully can fix this. Here is what I am getting:
1 Extended offline Completed: read failure 30% 1495 980569737
980569737 is the LBA_of_first_error. So now I have to figure out how to mark that block bad. Any ideas?

Numbers released earlier this week by the Missouri Association of School Administrators show that a recently vetoed house bill could cost the Moberly Public School District up to $1.3 million if overridden by the Missouri legislature in September.
"That's if the House Bill 253 veto is overridden and the Federal Marketplace Fairness Act comes into play," Moberly Superintendent Gena McCluskey told the MMI on Friday morning. "That's after it's fully implemented in 10 years."
Colloquially referred to as the "Broad-Based Tax Relief Act of 2013," HB 253 is sponsored by Missouri District 38 Representative T.J. Berry (R) and co-sponsored by 28 others, and "changes the laws regarding the streamlined sales and use tax agreement, tax amnesty, the community development district tax, income tax, sales and use taxes, use tax nexus, and the transportation development tax" in the state of Missouri, per the Missouri House of Representatives' official website.
It was introduced before the House back in late January of this year, and passed and signed by both state legislative bodies back in May.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon vetoed the measure back on June 5.
"At a time when quality schools and a skilled workforce are more important than ever to competing in the global economy, this reckless fiscal experiment would undermine permanently Missouri's ability to support public education and other vital services," Nixon said, in a prepared statement Monday. "As these numbers make clear, lawmakers can either support House Bill 253 or they can support public education, but they can't do both."
McCluskey said that the state of Kansas passed a similar measure several years ago, to dire consequences.
"They have yet to get back to the same educational funding level as before they passed the bill," she said.
Statewide, HB 253 would, when fully implemented, cut nearly $692 million from public education in the state of Missouri through its restructuring of the tax codes. If the Federal Marketplace Fairness Act were to become law, that amount would increase the cost of HB 253 to $1.2 billion in fiscal year 2014.
When fully implemented, HB 253 would cost the Moberly Public School District $754,629 annually. Add in the FMFA, and that number would skyrocket to $1,306,088, the MASA says.
Where could possible budget cuts come from to balance out this loss in funding?
"Our school budget is approximately 80 percent personnel," McCluskey noted. "We have nothing scheduled. We are keeping a close eye on the situation."
At last month's regular Moberly School Board of Education meeting, McCluskey and the board voiced their support of keeping Nixon's June veto intact.
Come September 14, the Missouri Legislature will challenge their request, though, reconvening for the state's annual veto session. At that time, both the House and Senate will be voting on overturning Nixon's veto — something that takes 109 representative votes and the "ayes" of 23 senators.
HB 253 initially passed with 103 votes in the House and 24 in the Senate.
"Governor Nixon has already withheld $66 million from the current budget for education," McCluskey said. "We're already going to feel an impact in anticipation that it will be overturned.
"The foundation formula that our legislators put in eight years ago has yet to be fully funded," she said. "Revenue did not keep up with the phasing schedule. [They are] not even funding us now."
Also of note:
Westran R-1 is set to lose between $52,558 and $90,966 via this measure.
Madison C-3 is set to lose between $78,020 and $135,035.
Higbee R-VIII is set to lose between $90,745 and $157,059.
Northeast R-IV (Cairo) is set to lose between $132,877 and $229,979.
Salisbury R-IV is set to lose between $64,807 and $112,167.
Middle Grove C-1 is set to lose between $21,583 and $37,356.
Holliday C-2 is set to lost between $22,252 and $38,513.
Sturgeon R-V is set to lose between $145,441 and $251,724.
Renick R-V is set to lose between $82,584 and $142,934.
Paris R-II is set to lose between $116,262 and $201,223.
HB 253: The bill that could cost the Moberly Public School District between $755K and $1.3M
Numbers released earlier this week by the Missouri Association of School Administrators show that a recently vetoed house bill could cost the Moberly Public School District up to $1.3 million if overridden by the Missouri legislature in September.

A simple query program
Budget $10-30 USD
I need to query the item price of the website Homedepot ([url removed, login to view]).
It needs to implement the function:
1. Scrape page to find the corresponding products, I will tell you the specific conditions, then find out the prices of these products.
2. Manual input, when I bulk import a unique identifier (may be "UPC" is better, you can view the source code to find which elements are best), I can check the price of these items. (Put the unique identifier in the text or excel file)
So please help me write this simple program, it should have a good interface and can handle large amounts of data, which I can easily query a large number of products. Thanks!
You need to know how to optimize the process in the large data query, I hope not to take up too much resources, I fear the impact of normal operation.

Dear Santa,
Are you real? My friend Haylee doesn't believe you. But I believe you. If your not real please don't tell me. By the way I've been wanting a cat. The kind my mom is not alergic to. They make her look red and pretty ugly and she would be very mad with me if I asked for a cat that made her like that. Make it the not alergic kind but not the bald kind. Those are very strainge. Also maybe let it snow this year and then I would like a sled. Is it really cold there. Do you have to wear gloves all the time inside even when you go to the bathroom. That would be very hard I bet. I will leave you cookies but please eat the hole thing and not just one bit that is wastefull okay. Thank you for all the good things you do like take presents everywhere to all the children. That is so nice and I would like that all the so much. If your not real who is eating the one bite of cookie every year. I have been wondering that. Amen.
Your friend,
Dear Santa Baby,
I've been wanting a house elf. One who will cook and clean and magic me out of tricky situations. Please send the kind that also takes care of email and can change the curse word in my head into something socially acceptable before it leaves my mouth. I've been having a problem with both of these things. Also, I would like smaller thumbs so that I don't have to text with one finger and look an idiot (you can also bring me a phone with larger numbers--that will do just as well). While you're at it, please bring me a pair of jeans that make my ass look nice and twenty-something (this is where I could've used that house elf--for the cursing, not the ass lifting, unless house elves do that, in which case, let's kill two birds).
And because you are Santa and I believe in you unlike some people I know (you really need to stop bringing them gifts, you know), I will also add that I would like you to make my book into a movie starring Jared Leto circa 1996 but with a slightly updated hairdo. I realize this will involve some tricky time-travel maneuvers and probably a super expensive hair stylist, but you are magic and I believe in you. Also, I need you to bring me some more Moroccan Oil because my hair will look like cat vomit once I run out. Also do not forget I need new blush because I dropped mine and it busted into tiny pieces that cling to the brush in clumps and this makes a mess on my cheeks that causes people to wonder if I am feverish and leprosied. I know you understand.
While you're at it, please bring me the ability to foresee what children are sick in my daughter's class so that when I have lunch at her school, I will know who to not sit by right before they vomit (would've been nice last Friday). Also, I could use a few more bottles of hand sanitizer, thanks. FYI, the Japanese Cherry Blossom scent is quite nice.
And before I go, I'm still wanting the following:
18, 00 Tablets of Children's chewable ACETAMINOPHEN
3,000 tablets of children's chewable IBUPROFEN
36, 000 tablets of Children's chewable VITAMINS
44,000 tablets of adult's MULTI-VITAMINS
16,000 tablets of ANTACIDS
5000 tablets of AMOXICILLIN
If you'd like to bring some Diflucan, maybe a bit of Levaquin and Zithromax (say, 100 or 500 units, awesome!), and also some ibuprofen because my throat hurts. I will leave you cookies, but please understand there will likely be a bite taken out of every one. This is customary in my culture.
Finally, I'd like to make a special request...please bring lovely gifts to all the customs personnel in Port Au Prince, Haiti. Make them really, really happy, k--enough joy to last for a long time? We would like to get through with our bags of drugs without having to get too close and personal. If you know what I mean.
Feel free to take the trash to the curb on your way out. You're a peach. Amen.
Yours in Dutiful Belief,
P.S. You are real, right?
So, I can't seem to figure out how to update the stats on Medical Mission to Haiti picture. Not quickly anyway. I'll work on it today. But...we've collected like a thousand dollars!! So stoked. This has gone a long way so far. Thank you to all of you who spread the word, prayed, encouraged me, wished really hard, sent me some maja ju-ju happies, and donated. I am so very grateful for all of you. And so blessed to know you. You guys are just amazing.
I will be continuing to collect until January 13 (January 15, we pack up all the meds). Just wait until you see the pictures of the packing. It'll be wild. I'll try to post those before I go.
Guess what? I have a copy of this ARC burning a hole in my bookshelf:
This giveaway is international and ends TONIGHT, December 19, midnight EST. You must be 13 years old to enter. If you win, you will need to provide an address for shipment. Under 18's must have parent/guardian permission to enter.
Obviously, if you are an international entrant and you win, you probably won't get this by Christmas. And there are no guarantees I can actually get this to you by Christmas even in the US because we all know how fickle the Post Office is. Maybe Boxing Day. Or New Year's, if you're the winner and slow to respond. Or by your pet chihuahua's next birthday. But I will send it out tomorrow, or as soon as the winner gives me an address. Check back tomorrow to see if you've won.
As always, thank you for entering and being all around supreme. Come back tomorrow, okay? Even if you didn't win, I've got another super cool 2 ARC giveaway I'll be posting.
Congratulations, Holly! Please contact me with an address to which I can ship your book. Thanks so much, all of you who entered. I'm posting a different 2 ARC giveaway today!

Is it all Just a Bunch of Lies?
When you are on the quest to be your best…what number do you live by? Are you on the scale every day obsession over every pound? If you do this…I emplore you. STOP.
Open your mind and please hear me out. A traditional scale is only going to show you ONE thing. Pounds. If you think that's enough information, please read on…Let's say you get on the scale and you've lost a pound. Let's say you've gained a pound. Guess what? You still don't know anything new about your body.
A pound of what? Fat? Water? Muscle?
Trust me. With a traditional scale you have NO IDEA what that pound represents.
So, does that mean we NEVER weigh ourselves? Certainly not. We just weigh SMARTER. For best accuracy, you need a body fat/body water scale. The brand I use is Tanita, because it does a great job and it's only around $50. I bought mine online. Bottom line: either buy a REAL scale or stop weighing yourself altogether and go by how your clothes fit!
Seriously. How your clothes fit is an easy peasy way to tell if the fat is going or staying. Do you see less spillover on the muffin top…do you see less bra bulge? That's a good sign, right!?
I actually don't understand the big deal with the actual number on the scale being so important. It baffles me when I hear this: "I haven't lost one pound, but my clothes are looser. I'm so frustrated." I can't understand this type of mentality because isn't it the goal really to take up less space and our clothes to fit better? I mean THAT'S what people SEE. They see your shape, not the number you weigh. We don't walk around with numbers on us, we walk around looking how we look. Period.
So, if you can accept that no matter what you weigh, you look like you look, then you can change your focus on changing your shape not changing your number. If you change your shape, the number will follow….eventually.
Here's just a few more examples of why the traditional scale is so far off in accuracy.
A lady GAINS a pound her first week of starting a new fitness program….What she doesn't know: Because she has started to drink more water her muscles absorbed this like sponges, they are therefore heavier. She actually lost ½ pound of fat, but the scale shows a gain of one pound. She's depressed and stops being motivated.
A lady starts to feel her clothes are looser! She gets excited and weighs herself. Her weight is the exact same as when she started. This discourages her, EVEN THOUGH she was SEEING PHYSICAL RESULTS. Her enthusiasm goes down a bit and she's just not as motivated as before….
A lady gains 5 pounds after exercising for a few months. She shrugs her shoulders and says, "Muscle weighs more than fat. I've gained muscle." EVEN THOUGH her clothes are fitting TIGHTER….she denies the fact that because of all her increase in activity, her appetite has naturally increased, but she's been making wrong choices to fill that need, and it has negatively affected her waist line.
As you can see, the scale doesn't tell the truth unless you're standing on the right scale.
If you don't want to buy a body fat/body water scale, then you need to switch your focus completely because as an educated person. Switch your focus to getting stronger and feeling good in your clothes, and feeling good in your SKIN! Remember, fit people who are truly losing body fat are going to look better and better naked
In conclusion, follow these two tips when weighing yourself on a body fat/body water scale:
For true accuracy, only note the pounds you weigh in the early morning before eating but immediately after emptying your bladder.
For body fat and water readings, only read these in the evening, right before dinner.
Remember, if we want real results we need to focus on getting stronger! So, here's one of my favorite total body exercises that focuses INTENSELY on the belly, but hits the arms and back as well. Enjoy!

Yahoo's search partnership with Google (GOOG) played a major role in allowing the company to fight off Microsoft (MSFT). By offering the hope of immediately higher cash flow, it should also stop Yahoo's stock price from falling back to the teens.
In his sayonara letter, Steve Ballmer urged Yahoo to kill the partnership, arguing that the engineers behind Panama were one of the main reasons Microsoft wanted to buy Yahoo and that, if Yahoo did the deal with Google, they would leave.
And he's right: They will (or at least they'll move on to other projects). That's part of the reason the outsourcing deal makes sense: It allows Yahoo to focus on businesses it can win, instead of throwing money at a war it has already lost.
Others argue Yahoo should now abandon the Google partnership because:
- It's a "now and forever" decision--there's no going back.
- Google will now rule the world.
- AOL outsourced--and now look at it.
- Microsoft's search solution will now be even more marginalized.
Only one of these reasons is valid: There's no going back. The rest aren't Yahoo's problem.
Query share is all that matters--and Yahoo's down to 20%
What will determine the future of the search business is not back-end ad technology but user query share. And Yahoo, Microsoft, and the rest of search sites have been losing share since Google entered the game. This loss of share will likely continue, no matter what Yahoo does on the technology side.
The decision for Yahoo on whether Yahoo should outsource, therefore, should come down to the following:
Does Yahoo realistically believe that continuing to invest in Panama will allow it to start regaining query share? If the answer is "Yes," then Yahoo should NOT outsource to Google. If the answer is "No," it SHOULD outsource.
Based on the past five years, the answer would seem to be "No way, " which means that Yahoo should go ahead and outsource and get as much profit as it can out of search while it still has some share. This is what AOL did, and this decision, at least, was a sane one. AOL's outsourcing hasn't stopped the loss of AOL's query share, but AOL would have lost this anyway.
Bottom line, if Yahoo is finally ready to wave the white flag on query share--which, by now, it should be--then outsourcing makes sense. No sense in continuing to fight a battle you have already lost.

Puente Program
Puente is a nationally recognized, academic program designed to help students adjust to college life and prepare for transfer to a four-year university. The program has three major components: accelerated writing instruction, counseling, and mentoring. We have our own classes, our own counselor, and every semester, we match our students with professionals from the community who can provide them with knowledge and guidance about education, careers, and life. Puente provides its students with a strong academic foundation, which is essential for success at SJCC and at the four-year university that they transfer to.
Puente is co-sponsored by the University of California and the California Community Colleges.
We encourage all college students who have a strong desire to transfer to a four-year university to apply. If you believe that you have what it takes to become a member of the Puente Familia, or would like more information about the program, please contact Elizabeth Eckford.
The mission of the Puente Project is to increase the number of educationally underrepresented students who enroll in four-year universities, earn degrees, and return to the community as leaders and mentors.
Puente was founded in 1981 by Felix Galaviz and Patricia McGrath at Chabot College in Hayward. The program was launched as a grassroots initiative to address the low rate of academic achievement among Mexican-American and Latino community college students.
Felix Galaviz and Patricia McGrath reviewed over 2000 community college student transcripts and inferred that:
Students were avoiding academic counselingStudents were not enrolling in college level writing coursesStudents were the first in their family to attend college
Students were avoiding academic counseling
Students were not enrolling in college level writing courses
Students were the first in their family to attend college
As a result of the research conducted, the Puente counseling, writing, and mentoring model emerged. This model has been successful for over twenty years in both the community college and high school programs.
Since 1981, Puente has expanded to 56 community colleges throughout the state. As an outgrowth of its success as a community college program, Puente piloted a high school version of its program in 1993 that has since been replicated in 36 high schools throughout California.

Missouri House Panel Endorses Tax Credit Caps
JEFFERSON CITY - A Missouri House committee has approved a tax-credit reduction plan, but it stops short of the significant cuts passed by the Senate.
The legislation endorsed Thursday by a House panel would impose a $135 million annual cap on tax credits for historic renovation projects. That could essentially allow the program to continue as is, since it issued a total of $134 million of tax credits last year.
A Senate bill passed last week would impose a $50 million annual cap on historic tax credits.
The House and Senate versions also are far apart on how to limit tax credits for the development of low-income housing.
House Economic Development Committee Chairwoman Anne Zerr praised both programs. But some senators contend the programs are busting the budget.

The Other Aaron's Law
How FASTR Could Help Americans Access The Research They Paid For
Andrea Peterson, via Think Progress.
Just over a month after internet folk hero and activist Aaron Swartz ended his own life, a bipartisan group of law-makers have introduced legislation that would make progress on a cause near and dear to his heart: Open access to publicly funded research. The Fair Access to Science and Technology Research Act (FASTR), introduced this week by Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Mike Doyle (D-PA), and Kevin Yoder (R-KS) in the House and Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Ron Wyden (D-OR) in the Senate, "require[s] federal agencies with annual extramural research budgets of $100 million or more to provide the public with online access to research manuscripts stemming from funded research no later than six months after publication in a peer-reviewed journal," building on the success of the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) 2008 public access policy.
Swartz faced a maximum sentence of decades in prison at the time of his death for charges related to his alleged downloading of nearly 5 million documents from the academic database JSTOR, in what many believe was an attempt to release the data. While efforts to reform the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), the law Swartz was being prosecuted under, using the moniker "Aaron's Law" emerged quickly, the introduction of FASTR is the first legislative effort since his death to address the open access movement — the effort to provide unrestricted access to peer-reviewed research online.
Here's how academic publishing works: Research is largely done by members of university communities (frequently funded by the public) who submit research to journals for publication (sometimes paying for the privilege). Then journals send the research back out to other academics to be edited blind (usually pro-bono), and the journal's (often for profit) publishers sell back access to the published research to university libraries.
While the largest of the for-profit academic publishers, Elsevier, made $1.1 billion in profits in 2011 with a profit margin of around 35 percent, libraries have struggled to afford rising subscription costs that drove up expenditures by a staggering 273 percent between 1986 and 2004. The Harvard Faculty Council released a statement on the crisis last year noting that the prices for online content from two major providers increased by around 145 percent over the last six years alone, saying "[m]any large journal publishers have made the scholarly communication environment fiscally unsustainable and academically restrictive."
FASTR is not an outright solution to this broken system, but it is a substantive step in the right direction that would provide open access because academic federal funding is the primary source of basic research support in the U.S. (the majority of which is carried out by academic institutions). And there are signs that the open access movement is making dents in the the academic publishing industry's armor, like JSTOR's Register & Read program. Neither that limited concession or FASTR will fully bring about the world of free information Swartz envisioned, but taken together they are a sign that world is slowly moving in the right direction.

Billboard magazine names law alumnus to its power list
Subscribe to our Newsroom RSS feed | What is RSS?

Loyola press release - June 4, 2012
Loyola University New Orleans College of Law alumnus Richard S. Busch, J.D. '90, a partner in the litigation section of King and Ballow in Nashville, Tenn., was named to Billboard's 2012 Power 100 list of the most influential people in the music business.
Busch has successfully represented music clients in numerous trials and appellate court cases, most recently F.B.T. Productions, LLC v. Aftermath Records, et al. Busch represented the plaintiff, who discovered, produced and co-wrote some of recording artist Eminem's biggest hits. In the landmark case before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the court ruled in favor of F.B.T., finding that the agreements between record label Universal and digital download providers like iTunes, are licenses. The ruling supported Eminem's recording agreement, which entitles him and F.B.T. to 50 percent of Universal's net receipts for sales by iTunes and others of Eminem songs.
Busch has filed similar actions on behalf of other artists, including Peter Frampton, Michael McDonald, Kenny Rogers, Toto, Weird Al Yankovic and the estate of Bruce Gary, the late drummer of the Knack. These cases have made it more difficult for labels to profit from digital sales of catalog titles.
Busch also represented Eminem's music publisher, Eight Mile Style, in a copyright infringement action against Apple, Inc. and Aftermath Records. The trial examined whether Apple obtained the necessary publishing licenses that allowed it to make Eminem songs available for digital download on iTunes. It was settled after nearly a week of testimony.
Busch has also been featured, on numerous occasions, as one of the best 150 lawyers in Tennessee in Business Tennessee magazine. In 2011, he was part of Nashville Post's list of Nashville's top 101 lawyers.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 23, 2009) - After hitting for the cycle against Campbell and earning a complete game victory against UNC Asheville, freshman Bo Reeder (Cookeville, Tenn.) was named the Atlantic Sun Player of the Week announced the conference office Monday.
"Bo just had a tremendous week and it couldn't have come at a better time for our club," said head coach Tony Skole. "He did a little bit of everything and his pitching performance on Tuesday really gave us some much needed momentum. For those who have watched our club play thus far, it would be difficult not to notice some of Bo's performances, as he has played brilliantly at times, but this week he put it all together. He was simply dominant. For a freshman he has a very mature approach to the game."
Reeder led the Bucs (9-10, 3-6 A-Sun) to a 4-1 week as the freshman had an incredible week that included a complete game 3-2 win on the mound against UNC Asheville on Tuesday and hit for the cycle on Saturday against Campbell. On the week, Reeder went 11-for-22 with four doubles, one triple, two home runs and drove in seven while scoring six times.
Against UNC Asheville, Reeder was impressive on the mound allowing only two runs on five hits in the game walking only one batter and struck out four. In the same game, Reeder went 2-for-4 helping his own cause by driving in the first run of the game and setting the tone for the Bucs. The freshman standout slugged 1.045 on the week and also made some outstanding plays in the field for the Bucs robbing the hottest hitting team in the conference of at least a couple hits. In game two of the Campbell series, Reeder came to the plate in the sixth only needing a triple to complete the cycle and crushed a ball to center over the head of Matt Keen to pick up the triple and complete the game a perfect 5-for-5.
Reeder is the first player to be named the A-Sun Player of the Week since last season when Ben Allen (Kingsport, Tenn.) racked up 12 RBI on the week.

Sometimes I can get heated in my writing. I recognize that I am not always the most temperate of bloggers. But if I ever write anything as hysterically removed from reality as this Corner posting by Deroy Murdock, please have me forcibly removed from the internet.
Murdock starts out semi-sensibly, expressing his disgust over Akin's comments and stating that he should have dropped out of his Senate race. Fair enough, that's how I felt about the matter. Then he delves into apocalyptic nonsense.
This will be an utter catastrophe for the GOP — from St. Louis to San Diego to Seattle to Sarasota to Seabrook.
Any American who does not know Akin's name already is about to hear it non-stop, thanks to Democrats who cannot believe the beautifully wrapped gift that Akin just handed them. Rather than engage the buoyant Paul Ryan and the re-energized Mitt Romney or explain to seniors why President Obama swiped $716 billion from Medicare to finance Obamacare, Democrats will have a much more startling theme to pound home until November: Republicans are soft on rape.
Yeah. It is true that Akin has likely prevented the Republicans from picking up a Senate seat, but Murdock is just as likely highly exaggerating the ramifications of his comments for the rest of the party. Yes, Akin provides some fresh meat for a Democrat party, but really, they aren't really saying anything new about the woman-hating GOP. Meanwhile, the economy remains a shambles, and the American public is only so willing to permit distractions to make them forget that fact. So I think that Akin's comments, while insanely idiotic, will not have a far-reaching impact beyond his own race.
Around the clock, Democratic candidates, spokesmen, commercials, and the party's foot soldiers in the news media will labor sedulously to transform the party of Lincoln and Reagan into the party of Akin. By Election Day, Akin will be more famous, ubiquitous, and inescapable than Kim Kardashian. His twisted comments on rape will be played again and again, with spooky music, scary edits, and every instrument in the campaign consultant's tool box applied to amplify this message.
By November 6, the only woman who will vote for Mitt Romney will be Ann Romney — maybe.
Uh huh. The GOP will be able to replay Obama's "you didn't build that" comment on the same repeated loop (and actually slightly more often considering the GOP money advantage). Which of these two ploys will resonate more deeply with voters this election cycle?
With women (and many men) terrified by the Party of Rape, Republican candidates and causes will fall like autumn leaves, after which some will blow away, and others will gather in piles and fester.
Sure. Moreover, failed Republican candidates will grieve for months over the shocking loss. Bereft of comfort, they will spiral out of control, dying desolate and alone, clutching nothing but an empty bottle that was their only means of warmth on the cold streets in which they dwelled. Their widows and orphans will wallow in misery. Even with Obamacare fully implemented and strengthened by the McCaskill amendment barring all private insurance, making the federal government the sole provide of healthcare, the GOP widows will be abandoned by a vengeful government. Eventually they will be killed – as will we all – by the machines that rise to power after President Biden accidentally flips the wrong switch on the day they are to be activated in our war with Canada.
Does Akin want to be the man whom history will recall as guaranteeing McCaskill's reelection, possibly keeping the U.S. Senate in the hands of hardened liberal Democrat, Harry Reid?
Does Akin hope to be known in perpetuity as the cause of Barack Obama's reelection, notwithstanding the multifarious merits of the Romney-Ryan ticket?
Does Akin want to lie on his deathbed and exhale his last breath while trying vainly to forget that he made it impossible to repeal Obamacare, reverse the rampant damage of the Obama years, and turn America from the path to decline?
Does Akin want to wake up in the fiery depths of hell, Satan welcoming him to an eternal torment?
Does Akin want to spend his hellish eternity watching re-runs of What's Happening while listening to the soulful tunes of Kenny G?
Does Akin want to open the portal that allows all of the demons of hell to march triumphantly upon heaven, thus causing all of eternity to be erased in an instant?
Well if Akin doesn't want to end all of existence, then there's no choice but to unleash the hounds of parliamentary procedure.
On its opening evening in Tampa, the Republican National Convention should vote on prime-time television to denounce Akin, reject his wretched comments, disassociate the party from him, and pledge that no GOP resources will be deployed to support his campaign. Each delegation should express itself on this matter through a roll call of the states. The decision should be overwhelming, if not unanimous, against Akin.
His name will be stricken from the records, his mere existence denied Republicans for all eternity. Any who dare even mention the name Akin – who hereafter shall be referred to as He Who Must Not Be Named – will be arrested and jailed.
Of course this still might not be enough. Todd Akin should be dragged onto the stage and sacrificed. Sandra Fluke should be invited to be the one to plunge the knife into Akin's still-beating heart. And she should be given a lifetime supply of contraception as a final means of atonement.
Then, and only then, will this long national nightmare finally be behind us.
Until somebody else says something stupid. In other words, when Joe Biden speaks in public again.
