Laura Reineccius Lucas, a resident of Hood River, Ore., passed away at her home on Jan. 20, 2013, five days before her 58th birthday, with her family at her side.
Laura was born in The Dalles, Ore., on Jan. 25, 1955 and was raised there by her adopted parents Floyd and Laura Riggins. She graduated from high school at The Dalles High in 1972 and went on to marry Paul Reineccius, Sr. They had sons Paul Jr. and Duane. Laura then became the life partner of Don Lucas and gained stepsons Robbie and Wayne and stepdaughter Deanna. She had three grandchildren and several step-grandchildren. Her sister Donna Riggins and sister-in-law Melody Riggins survive as well. Laura's adopted parents preceded her in death, as well as her brother Don Riggins.
She worked ten years for Walmart and then took care of mentally handicapped people for years, considering many of the co-workers there part of her extended family. She was fond of camping, riding quads and fishing. She liked yard work, including working with flowers. Her favorite things were dolphins, candles and roses.
Laura has had a battle with breast cancer for the last 21 years, winning it over with pure tenacity three times, getting back into the game of life. She has been inspiring to many over the years. Finally the cancer metastasized to stage four, moving into her bones.
There will be a memorial and potluck for Laura Lucas at the First Baptist Church on Feb. 2 at 1 p.m. Laura and her family wish to thank the doctors, nurses and Heart of Hospice for all their help with this battle for life.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to Don Lucas in care of the US Bank in Hood River.

Good health is a precarious thing. Most of us are born with it, some of us lose it through no fault of our own, and the majority of us take it for granted and neglect it, surprised when the day comes that it is no longer there to enjoy.
Chronic illness affects the majority of our adult population – obesity, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and lung disease to name some big ones. These diseases are largely the result of lifestyle. Poor diet, lack of activity, and smoking are incredible drains on our economic resources. In a society with easy access to fat food, many sedentary jobs, and very little incentive for self responsibility for our health, it is easy to see why this has happened. I work with the very affluent in my job as a financial planner and I treat the very poor in my volunteer time as a physician at a homeless shelter. It is amazing to me the number of people who have very little understanding on how to take care of their health, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
What does the Affordable Care Act do to address this?
Health care reform has to come from all sides – each and every one of us needs to take responsibility for our part of the system. My ideal is that we all take self responsibility for our health – this would improve our productivity, quality of life, and longevity. This is the bottom up approach. However, many people do not have the education, resources, or incentive to do so. For those people, we have to provide carrots and sticks – this is the top down approach of the Affordable Care Act.
People equate the ACA with health insurance changes, but the majority of the law is about change in health care delivery. Many sections address the problem of chronic illness through preventive care provisions, wellness incentives, and the creation of medical care homes (which I address in a future article.)
Prevention is cost effective medicine. Because of the ACA, preventive care is now paid for on a first dollar basis – so there are no co-pays or deductibles to meet, making it more likely people will go to the doctor for these services. And finally, doctors are being paid to provide these services. In fact, in the future, provider pay will be influenced by how well doctors get patients to partake in preventive services.
Wellness provisions in the ACA provide incentives in the workplace, such as the development of wellness programs in small businesses. The carrot for employees is that participation in these programs can lower their health insurance premiums up to 30%. Programs are tailored to the patient and cannot be discriminatory – for example, you can't require a 300 pound person get to normal weight before incentives are earned. This is very different from wellness programs of the past.
The provisions addressing preventive care and wellness, with incentives for both patients and providers, are significant parts of the law. In other words, there is a deliberate focus on keeping people well instead of just treating illness. It difficult to argue with the premise – keeping people healthy will reduce overall health care costs in this country. Think about it - doctors get paid more and patients pay lower insurance costs to move in a healthy direction.
Why hasn't this been tried before? Lack of technology to track how well incentives are implemented has been a roadblock. To deal with this issue, another sweeping change of the ACA is the introduction of mandatory use of electronic medical records. This will simplify tracking delivery and patient follow-through for preventive care. Will it work? We need to make it work, because the lack of good health in this country is costly and is even becoming a national security issue.
In our bipartisan country, many people are screaming for repeal of the entire law. It would behoove the "total repealers" to understand the provisions which provide funding for education and implementation of increased self responsibility for health. We need change in health care focus and delivery to keep our country strong and resilient. Many portions of the Affordable Care Act work toward this goal.
Let's pick apart the problems, learn where the ACA provides solutions to the problems, and keep those parts of the law. Demand that our leaders use their time and our resources wisely by creating solutions and change to parts of the law that are not ideal, such as insurance and long term care. Let's change the mantra from "Repeal and Replace" to a useful mantra of "Fix and Fulfill" our health care law so we can create a system that repairs the ills of this country.
I am a physician, financial planner, educator, and I love to tell great stories. The world is too complicated and doesn't have to be that way. The goal for this blog is to bring simplicity to the two subjects I know best – financial planning and medicine.

With revolutions, the old leaders and their cronies often get sent to prison -- or worse. Some of those threatened by populist change resort to violent force, others to genuine accommodation, and still others to a slow reimprisonment through a succession of "reasonable" restrictions in the name of security. If I were speaking of countries, Syria, Myanmar, and Russia would come to mind, respectively. But I'm speaking of IT here, in response to the consumerization phenomenon that some pundits have labeled the "IT spring" in honor of the Arab Spring uprisings last year.
For now, it seems unlikely the Western corporate world will abide a violent crackdown by IT admins on users who want to drive their own technology choices and liberate corporate information so it can be more easily analyzed and acted on. What's happening instead at some organizations is the third option, using mobile management and security software to progressively shackle iPhones, iPads, and Android devices into slick-looking but highly secured -- or imprisoned -- versions of Research in Motion's BlackBerry. It's paternalistic authoritarianism.
[ Listen to Galen Gruman and other pundits debate mobile management and BYOD issues in the MoDev "Mobility Smackdown" podcast. | Read InfoWorld's Insider guide to mobile device, application, and information management. | Understand how to both manage and benefit from the consumerization of IT trend with InfoWorld's "Consumerization Digital Spotlight" PDF special report. | Subscribe to InfoWorld's Consumerization of IT newsletter today. ]
The BlackBerry, after all, is the very incarnation of an IT police force's control mania, with more than 500 policies to tie up users.
The BlackBerry is also a fast-dying device, rejected by most users given a choice; the company is in economic freefall, and its share of new sales is now a mere 6 percent -- less than that of Symbian, the limited mobile OS that Nokia abandoned a year ago. Of course, trying to convert iOS and Android devices into essentially BlackBerrys is a stupid policy sure to backfire as users wise up and realize that their highly capable devices have been turned into bricks carrying a $30-per-month data plan the company has stopped paying for. Or will they?
The progression to rendering your iPhone as incapable as a BlackBerry
As is the pattern in counterrevolutionary tactics, the first steps seemed reasonable. Once IT got over the shock of Apple products in employees' hands, the first step was to enforce Exchange ActiveSync policies for basic security needs: on-device encryption and required use of passwords -- a perfectly reasonable action.
Then came the wave of mobile device management (MDM) tools -- 80-odd companies, by my last count, were in this business, sensing a gold rush -- that offered more policies to apply to users' mobile devices. The justification was for the extra needs that some companies faced and the need they claimed to have to track assets.
I've never believed that most companies need such tools, but like many I thought, "If that makes IT happy and gets it out of my way, fine, let it waste the company's money on unneeded security." For those who need more security than the EAS/iOS combo provides, they deserved something better than a BlackBerry too. Some Android device makers -- particularly Motorola Mobility and to a lesser extent Samsung -- later joined the EAS and MDM parties, too.
Of course, as soon as MDM appeared to be solved, we began hearing police-oriented IT leaders talk about the need to manage applications. Translation: They wanted to force users toward corporate app stores. Thankfully, that fantasy has gone nowhere, as an iPhone without the App Store and an Android without Google Play can't do anything users want. At best, corporate app stores are used as supplemental distribution points for in-house and customized commercial software -- a notion that many of us could swallow, if we held our noses.

Installed driver version 5.736.728.2009 using the file found here:
Driver install package gave options to Repair or Remove, I selected Remove
I then re-ran the install package and installed the drivers
System re-detected NIC, would not connect to network
I performed a restart, system would not pull an IP address from DHCP server
I completely unplugged the system, pulled the RTC batterry, waited 10+ minutes, then booted the system
The system is now currently functioning but, it has only been less than half an hour.
These systems have worked fine for up to three days without issue.
I will continue to update this issue.
2. Re: Intel DG41TY RealTek NIC Connection Issuespasselin Sep 26, 2009 7:22 PM (in response to passelin)
I have now applied the new driver and removed power/RTC battery on all five systems. So far so good, I will continue to update this post.
3. Re: Intel DG41TY RealTek NIC Connection Issuespasselin Oct 3, 2009 5:06 PM (in response to passelin)

Hello guys,
i have exactly the same problem but on DG41MJ. I purchased 12 pieces!!!
I am running on OpenSuse 10.3
Sometimes lan is working, sometimes not.
it drives me crazy. i tried few versions of driver but its not working...
Do you have some solution for linux too?
I dont want XP.

I have the exact same issue. The unplug then cold boot solution seems to work temporarily...but what a pain! I have 25 machines across 3 counties with this board! I will try your solution and keep my fingers crossed...
Glad I found your post, I was losing my mind!

I had the same problem on multiple systems the fix I found is update to the 0033 Bios. Then after the bios update is complete, make sure to go in to the bios and reset to optimal settings. It's working as of now. Will post again if it just goes out randomly again.

Hi Passelin,
I saw your thread. I have a similar kind of problem. I tried installing a PCI modem in my new DG41TY motherboard with Windows XP SP 3. The driver got installed perfectly. But when I tried to use it, it showed me an error stating that there was a IRQ conflict with other components. I checked system information and found that the conflict was with the onboard NIC. I have tried to separate the IRQ for the PCI modem but I have been unsuccessful. There is no BIOS option for separating the IRQ manually. I tried enabling the COM port for assigning IRQ but it did not work.
You seem to have solved your problem. Can you help me solve mine.
Thanks in advance,
9. Re: Intel DG41TY RealTek NIC Connection Issuespasselin Dec 7, 2009 10:09 AM (in response to intelligent)
This might sound obvious, but have you tried installing the modem in a different PCI slot on your board? I have run into this issue with old NForce 2 boards due to IRQ sharing, and a quick slot swap always did the trick.
10. Re: Intel DG41TY RealTek NIC Connection Issuesintelligent Dec 8, 2009 9:59 PM (in response to passelin)
Hi Passelin,
As you said it is obvious that when a PCI card does not work in one slot, people usually try it in the other slot. But such peripherals are assigned an IRQ for communication with the processor. When this process gets done automatically then all problems begin as more than one type of component gets the same IRQ. In some older computers, we were able to change the IRQ manually at the BIOS setup. But I don't know why they haven't provided this option in the new motherboard.
In another thread I read that enabling the COM Port will show the option. I tried, but nothing changed.
Can you consult someone to get me some ideas. I am keeping in touch.
Also I would like you to allow me to post my querries in this thread. Since we both have the same motherboard it will help us both.
I will post the solutions whenever I find one. I am sure others too are facing the same problem.
Thanks anyway.

I'd also like to add that I had this issue on several DG31PR motherboards and have now as of today experienced it on 2 DG41RQ motherboards. I ended up throwing in 3COM PCI NIC's to get them up and running ASAP. I didn't see this thread at the time of repair but I did flash BIOS and what not though I did not pull out the CMOS battery or set optimal settings in BIOS. The main issue seems to be that the adapter just completely disappears out of device manager (both on the DG31 and DG41 boards) and it's virtually impossible to get it to show back up.
12. Re: Intel DG41TY RealTek NIC Connection Issuesintelligent Dec 10, 2009 12:30 AM (in response to persiannight)
Hi Persiannight,
It seems the only way to use Internet connection with the new boards DG41TY / DG31PR is to enable and use the RJ 45 jack type LAN connector that comes with some broadband modems / routers.
But some of the users in the forum have reported that it is unstable, some periods of hyperactivity, other periods of dull or nil activity.
There can only be one reason that Intel is not following the backward compatibiliy route. Intel probably has plans to come up with a new microarchitecture design incorporating all the possible peripherals onto a single motherboard. No doubt that if it can come up with a Quad core and Extreme processors, then it is not far behind in incorporating all possible peripherals onto a single motherboard. Just look at some of the laptops available nowadays. You will know what I mean.
However PCI modems I have used are slow, delivering only a max. of 41 Kbps of speed. The broadbands start anywhere from 2 Mbps and go upto 64 Gbps even more.
The next series of motherboards from Intel would be interesting to watch. I suspect we will all have to throw our present series of Classic and Essential motherboards and adopt the new microarchitecture technology.
Share your views with me. I am in urgent need of Internet connection for domestic use and am running out of ideas to use Internet with the new DG14TY motherboard.
13. Re: Intel DG41TY RealTek NIC Connection Issuesintelligent Dec 10, 2009 1:31 AM (in response to intelligent)
Hi Persiannight
There is an option in BIOS to enable/disable the onboard LAN. Check to see if this is enabled. Since this is an important onboard component it will certainly display when checking onboard components. Its unusual that the onboard lan does not show. I disabled this during PCI configuration and it did not show on Device Manager. Once enabled, it appeared on the list.
Please reply to me after checking
14. Re: Intel DG41TY RealTek NIC Connection Issuesintelligent Dec 22, 2009 11:40 PM (in response to intelligent)
Hi all,
It seems DG41TY has lot of problems with the onboard NIC. It either fails or causes conflicts.
Is there a usb modem that can be attached to the DG41TY motherboard for use with a dial up connection?
I feel the USB connection might be a solution to PCI problems. At least if they have been assigned the resources properly. This I believe because USB devices came later and have been assigned a large quantity of resources lately. Can anyone give me a better opinion. Suggestions are always welcone.

I do not have much success with breastfeeding so I'm pumping exclusively for my son, who is 6 weeks. I'm pumping 2-3 hourly in the day and 3-4 hourly in the night. Right now my supply is meeting his needs and I am producing at a rate faster than he can consume. Is my milk supply considered 'established' now?
I have read from many websites that you have to pump at this rate for at least 12 weeks to establish your supply if you are exclusively pumping. Do I need to keep at this rate? I dying to drop at least the middle-in-the-night pump as I have hardly enough rest at all.
He is feeding at 2-3 hourly in the day and 3-4 hourly at night.
Thanks for your advice and sorry if my question is stupid!

Community Agriculture Alliance: Adopting a Colorado Environmental Education Plan
November 15, 2012
It must have been the crystal ball that came with our mysterious name, Yampatika (yampa, an indigenous root, plus tika, or "eater of," equals Yampatika, the name of the tribe of Ute Indians that settled our valley as a summer hunting grounds), that forecast the shift in educational philosophy toward environmental literacy.
Or, more likely, it was because Yampatika has had its finger on the pulse of environmental education for nearly 20 years. The popular perception of environmental education may be that it is a fad or a fringe movement. Solid research, global education leaders and legislators are busting that myth by introducing legislation like the No Child Left Inside Act and the Colorado Kids Outdoors grant program. In May 2010, then-Gov. Bill Ritter signed into law a mandate requiring the Colorado Department of Education to adopt a statewide plan for environmental education. Wow, that's serious!
And Yampatika took it seriously. Since the law was adopted, Executive Director Sonja Macys has been on the board of the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education and has served on its Environmental Literacy Planning Committee. The committee is composed of diverse stakeholders who have worked with the Colorado Department of Education to draft a statewide plan. The result is the Colorado Environmental Education Plan, which is slated to be adopted in early December. Anticipating this inevitable outcome, Yampatika began a public awareness campaign — locally and nationally — and launched its Environmental Literacy Program. You may have read about the success of this program before. It doesn't hurt to reiterate the points as we approach this milestone for environmental education in Colorado.
There is a movement within Colorado to provide education that is nature-based, promotes practical, 21st century skills, improves critical thinking, connects youths to the broader community and helps educators teach to core curriculum and TCAP test standards. When the Colorado Environmental Education Plan is adopted, school districts statewide will be looking for a replicable model that incorporates the elements listed above and has community support and a proven track record. Yampatika's Environmental Literacy Program satisfies all of these requirements as summarized in Yampatika's "Environmental Literacy Program Final Evaluation Report, 2011-2012" prepared by Christina Stark, a third-party evaluator.
"Students who attended the Environmental Literacy Program showed an increase of knowledge of the grade-level topic areas. … Also based on this evaluation, Yampatika's Environmental Literacy Program fulfilled the needs of the teachers and students by covering the Colorado academic standards while successfully integrating the program into their classroom curriculum."
The program launched with one series of K-5 grade classrooms, grew to include 30 classrooms last year and is on track to serve 42 classrooms this year.
Recommended Stories For You
Madame Yampatika did not predict these outcomes with a crystal ball. Rather, Yampatika's notion for creating a model of 21st century collaborative education is steeped in 20 years of experience in the local community and the global environmental education movement.
If you'd like to provide a testimonial of support for the Colorado Environmental Education Plan, contact Yampatika at 970-871-9151 or email@example.com.

The Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman was the first prison in the country to use the Intelligent Network Access Controller (iNAC), which blocks service for contraband cell phones inside the prison walls. Being on the cutting edge involved some learning, said Sean Smith, who heads the state's Corrections Investigation Division.
A system from Tecore Networks lets prisons establish their own cellular base stations so they can keep prisoners from using illegal phones while giving legitimate users access. Read more.
"Our biggest misconception was the idea that it was plug-and-play," Smith said. "It is not. It's called managed access for a reason."
The reason is that the system can require daily management to keep it tuned to the precise footprint needed.
Precision is critical for iNAC. It is a local base station intended to be the preferred cellular service for all devices within a given area, so that usage can be controlled and unauthorized users, meaning the inmates, kept off the network. But the signal should not extend outside the gray walls, where it could pick up legitimate cell phones and deny them service because they are not on the prison's approved list.
iNAC, from Tecore Networks, accomplishes this all-or-nothing feat with multiple directional antennas that can be positioned and their power adjusted to cover a required area. It can take several weeks to get a system configured to operate within the required parameter. But the RF environment is not static, and additional adjustments can be needed on a daily basis. Signal strength, direction and penetration can vary depending on physical changes in the environment, weather and outside signals from carriers' cell sites.
Deployment of the system so far is in the early stages, with only two prisons using it, but Tecore is beginning a mainstream rollout of the product, showcasing it at the American Correctional Association's annual conference in August. Smith had some advice for institutions considering the technology.
"Do as much research as you can, and understand what managed access does," he said. "Understand your facility, what you need to do and what not to do."

Regarding the positioning of these antennas. When an inmate calls another cell phone with a recording app installed. Dies the cell phone @ the cell phone pick up and transmitted audio waves (conversations among staff) to the cell phone with he recording app? Because during playback there is some pretty bizzara stuff.AKA XXX Where female voices are heard in the recording doing...um...extra curricular activity. JUST ASKING.
Word in the prisons is the system is defeated B4 even going live, Voice over LTE is not blocked use an iPhone 5.
Then for the high tech you could simply block the jamming services SID with a edited PRL which is used commonly on CDMA carriers. Blocking the SID would cause the phone to never see the jammer and work.
Just a Managed Access SCAM on the tax payers, the system is a waste of money. The prison shouldn't have these phones inside if the administration did its job in the first place!

BOILING SPRINGS � Homecoming left Gardner-Webb�s football team without much to celebrate Saturday afternoon.
Liberty shut out the Runnin� Bulldogs 24-0 as GWU fell to 4-4 overall and 0-2 in Big South Conference play after being nationally ranked last month.
It marked the program�s first home shutout since a 31-0 defeat against the Flames in the 2007 finale and the first time Gardner-Webb has been shut out twice in the same season since 1985.
�Our mental effort was not sharp,� GWU coach Carroll McCray said. �We couldn�t catch any momentum because of some mental mistakes.�
GWU kept it close early as neither team could get its offense going. But a 33-yard Desmond Rice to Darrin Peterson touchdown connection on a halfback pass with 7:09 remaining in the second quarter was the second in three minutes for Liberty as it built a 14-0 edge. The other was a 3-yard Josh Woodrum touchdown run.
Those scores would provide plenty of cushion for a Flames defense that sacked Gardner-Webb quarterback Lucas Beatty five times and limited the Runnin� Bulldogs to 30 rushing yards.
�They fought harder than us up front and we didn�t fight back,� said GWU receiver Deonte Swinton, who had six receptions for 50 yards.
McCray said his team started well on some blocks but didn�t finish them.
Woodrum threw for 199 yards and added a 9-yard touchdown pass to tight end Brandon Apon on the first play of the fourth quarter. He also had an interception on a pass picked off by GWU�s Adam Johnson.
But Gardner-Webb followed up that interception with a three-and-out. It also couldn�t take advantage of a 33-yard Juanne Blount run in the third quarter.
�They capitalized on their opportunities better than we did, especially on third down,� Beatty said.
Beatty threw for 200 yards in the loss, his sixth 200-yard outing in eight games.
Gardner-Webb hosts Warner (Fla.) University (0-9) next Saturday at 1:30 p.m. before finishing the season at VMI (Nov. 9), home against Charleston Southern (Nov. 16) and at Presbyterian (Nov. 23). But McCray said the opposition isn�t his main focus now.
�Right now we�re trying to get our program better,� McCray said.
Beatty put it another way.
�We�ve been punched hard three times in a row,� said Beatty of the team�s three-game losing streak against Charlotte, Coastal Carolina and Liberty. �And we have to hold everyone accountable to do their jobs and win these last four games.�
Bulldog Bites
Honoring champions
The Gardner-Webb football program recognized its 2002 and 2003 Big South Conference championship teams during Saturday�s game.
Former players from the teams, which combined for a 17-5 overall record, were on hand for the Liberty game and were honored on the field before the fourth quarter.
Third-down woes
Gardner-Webb struggled to keep drives going Saturday. The Runnin� Bulldogs went 3-for-16 in converting third downs, including 0-for-10 to start the contest.
On multiple third downs, Liberty sacked GWU quarterback Lucas Beatty to end a drive.

|Version 6 (modified by 10 years ago) (diff),
- Building on Solaris
Building on Solaris
These instructions have only been checked for GHC 6.8.3 on Solaris 10 on SPARC. It should mostly apply to later versions of GHC, Solaris 8 and later and perhaps Solaris on x86.
A common theme in these instructions is the issue that required tools and libraries are not part of the standard system set and the need for us to set various flags to tell the build system where to find them. For the sake of being concrete, the instructions below use the example of packages from the blastwave.org collection which get installed under the
/opt/csw prefix. You can substitute your own path (or paths) as appropriate to your system.
Using a bootstrapping GHC
You can either get the binary from the ghc download page or use some other pre-existing ghc binary.
The binary from the ghc download page depends on
readline and
ncurses, none of which are on the default runtime linker search path. It is necessary therefore to set the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, either in the ghc driver shell script or in the environment while doing the build. The latter is simpler:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/csw/lib
Note: part of the aim of these instructions is to build a ghc that will not require the use of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. That is, it should not be required to run ghc itself, or any of the programs built by ghc.
In the example below we will assume that the bootstrapping ghc is installed in
/opt/ghc-bin and that our final ghc will be installed to
Using the right GCC
Avoid the system GCC versions
On Solaris 10, the
/usr/bin/gcc is a version that uses Sun's code generator backend. This is completely unusable for ghc because ghc has to post-process the assembly output of gcc. It expects the format and layout that the normal gcc uses.
/usr/sfw/bin/gcc version (at least on Solaris 10) is 3.4.x which is reported to have problems, see below.
It is recommended therefor to install another gcc package, either from some Solaris binary package or to build a vanilla gcc from source.
Selecting a good GCC version
GCC version 4.1.x and 4.0.x seem to be fine. 4.1.2 is recommended.
GCC version 3.4.x is reported to mis-compile the runtime system leading to a runtime error
schedule: re-entered unsafely.
But such a gcc version is sufficient for most user programs in case you just installed a ghc binary distribution.
GHC has not yet been updated to understand the assembly output of GCC version 4.3.x.
GCC version 4.2.x works but takes hours and hours to build the large
.hc files that GHC generates. It is reported that particular modules can take upwards of 5 hours and the overall build takes a couple days.
Using GCC from a non-standard location
Since the recommendation is not to use the system
/usr/bin/gcc then it is necessary to configure GHC to use a different GCC. Not only do we have to ensure that this alternate GCC is used while building GHC, but we must ensure that this alternate GCC is used by default by the built GHC once we install it and try to use it. Otherwise it will default to whatever
gcc is on the
$PATH which would typically be
/usr/bin/gcc again.
Due to a bug in the build system (#2966) it is not enough to specify
--with-gcc= when running
./configure. It is necessary to adjust the
$PATH so that the correct gcc is found *and* to use
--with-gcc= to the full path to that same version of gcc. Having it first in the
$PATH is required for the build to go through and the
--with-gcc= flag is necessary to have the resulting ghc use that gcc once installed.
For example:
export PATH=/opt/gcc-vanilla/bin:$PATH ./configure --with-gcc=/opt/gcc-vanilla/4.1.2/bin/gcc
Fixing the
unix package
At the time of writing the
unix package gets built wrong (see #2969) which results in
getSymbolicLinkStatus not working which in turn breaks darcs. The fix is given in the ticket.
TODO attach a patch for ghc-6.8.3, send in a patch for ghc-6.10.x and HEAD.
Using GMP from a non-standard location
The gmp library is not a standard system library on Solaris. It can usually be installed from a third party binary package collection or built from source. Either way it will usually not be on the standard cpp include path or the standard static linker path, or the standard dynamic linker path.
We can handle the first two aspects with these
./configure flags
--with-gmp-includes and
For example:
./configure --with-gmp-includes=/opt/csw/include --with-gmp-libraries=/opt/csw/lib
However to actually run programs compiled by ghc (such as stage1) that use gmp from this location we need to link them in such a way that they will find the gmp lib at runtime. The best way is to use the
-R linker flag to 'bake in' the right path.
This can be specified in the
mk/build.mk file by using:
TODO check this works, it was only tested with a bootstrapping ghc that always used the above flag, baked into the driver shell script. In that case only
GhcStage2HcOpts=-optl-R/opt/csw/lib was needed.
Additionally, the
--with-gmp-* flags ensure that when using the resulting ghc, that it will be able to link programs to gmp. That is
ghc --make Hello.hs will actually compile because it will pass
-L/opt/csw/lib when linking it. However as before, while it links this does not ensure that the resulting program will run. We also need to tell the dynamic linker to look in the gmp lib dir. To get ghc to pass
-R as well as
-L we need to alter the registration information for the rts package.
Note that this currently needs to be done after installation. See 2933# about integrating it into the build process.
ghc-pkg describe rts > rts.pkg vim rts.pkg ghc-pkg update rts.pkg
In the editing step you need to add the
-R/path/to/gmp/lib to the
ld-options field.
Using readline from a non-standard location
As with gmp, we need to tell
./configure about the location of
readline. Be careful here because it may look like you are building with readline support when in fact you are not.
Using the
--with-gmp-libraries= flags are enough to get the top level
./configure script to believe that using readline will work, if you happen to have gmp and readline installed under the same prefix. However it is not enough for the Haskell readline package's configure script. Unfortunately that one gets run half way through the build process (after building stage1) and if it fails it does so silently and the readline feature is simply not used. This means you end up with a useless ghci.
So it is necessary to pass these flags to
./configure --with-readline-includes=/opt/csw/include --with-readline-libraries=/opt/csw/lib
If you want to double-check that ghci really did get built with readline support before you install it then run:
ldd compiler/stage2/ghc-6.8.3
And check that it really does link to readline. It is also worth checking at this point that ghc will run without
LD_LIBRARY_PATH set:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" ldd compiler/stage2/ghc-6.8.3
This should all libs as being found.
Split objects
With the right toolchain this can work. It's been tested on Solaris 10 with ghc-6.8.3, gcc-4.1.2 and the system (not GNU) binutils (ie as, ld etc from /usr/ccs/bin).
If you run into problems however turn it off by adding this to your
Note that to use split objects at the moment you need your gcc to default to the SPARC V9 ABI or to tell ghc to tell gcc to use the V9 ABI it when assembling (
-opta-mcpu=v9) otherwise you'll hit bug #2872.
Putting it all together
This example uses ghc-6.8.3 on Solaris 10, using gmp and other tools installed in
/opt/csw. The gcc is 4.1.2 installed in
/opt/ghc-vanilla/4.1.2/bin. The bootstrapping ghc is the binary from the ghc download page installed in
mk/build.mk file is
SRC_HC_OPTS=-optl-R/opt/csw/lib SplitObjs=YES
export PATH=/opt/gcc-vanilla/4.1.2/bin:/opt/csw/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/csw/lib
./configure options
./configure --prefix=/opt/ghc \ --with-ghc=/opt/ghc-bin/bin/ghc \ --with-gcc=/opt/gcc-vanilla/4.1.2/bin/gcc \ --with-gmp-includes=/opt/csw/include \ --with-gmp-libraries=/opt/csw/lib --with-readline-includes=/opt/csw/include \ --with-readline-libraries=/opt/csw/lib
Remember of course that you must use GNU make, not the system make. The Solaris 10
/usr/sfw/bin/gmake should do. Any other GNU make that you install from a third party repository should also be ok.
gmake -j4
If you are lucky enough to have a box with lots of CPU cores then use them! Sadly the maximum number that it can actually use effectively is around 4. Hopefully the new build system in ghc-6.11 and later will be able to use more.
sudo gmake install
Remember that you will now need to modify the
rts package for the newly installed ghc so that the programs it builds will be able to find the gmp lib at runtime. See the section above on using gmp from a non-standard location for more details.
export PATH=/opt/ghc/bin:$PATH ghc-pkg describe rts > rts.pkg vim rts.pkg # add -R/opt/csw/lib to the ld-options field. ghc-pkg update rts.pkg
Now check that compiling and running a hello world program works:
$ unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ which ghc /opt/ghc/bin/ghc $ echo 'main = print "hello"' > Hello.hs $ ghc --make Hello.hs $ ./Hello "hello"
- link to expected testsuite results.
- how to make ghc use
-R/opt/csw/libfor everything it builds (it get it into the rts pkg conifg)
- how to make sure it really does get built with readline support

Old-World Charm Meets Contemporary Elegance at Boutique Hotel Facing Niagara River
Though it's a relatively new hotel, Barton Hill Hotel & Spa is located on some historic land in Lewiston, New York. It's near the Canadian border—the site of the first battle of the War of 1812. The surrounding Niagara region has a vintage feel to it as well: it's dotted with charming villages and idyllic vineyards. In keeping with the setting, Barton Hill's decor and design have an old-fashioned look, too.
Beyond the white-stone entrance, you'll find the hotel's great room, which is anchored by stately columns and outfitted with Greek Revival furniture. Upstairs, the spacious guest rooms maintain a similar sense of elegance with varying decor that might include heavy draperies and wrought-iron chairs. Each room comes with a gas fireplace and an iPod docking station, and some have views of the Niagara River.
You can use your included dining credit at the inn's Chantry Restaurant and Bar, which serves inventive cocktails along with gourmet pub fare. The menu rotates weekly, but it might include parmesan baked tilapia ($17) or maple-cured salmon ($10). As part of this package, you'll also get a gaming credit at Seneca Niagara Casino, located about 20 minutes south of the hotel near Niagara Falls. It has more than 2,000 slot machines and 100 table games.
Lewiston, New York: Historic Town Minutes from Niagara Falls
Lewiston was one of western New York's earliest settlements, dating back to the 1600s. Today, its quaint streets are lined with antique stores and art galleries. Just a 10-minute drive from the hotel is the Niagara Wine Trail, where you can find a handful of vineyards. The area is best known for its ice wine, a sweet dessert varietal made from frozen grapes.
The Niagara River flows past the hotel, about 8 miles upstream from the American side of Niagara Falls. At that iconic spot, roughly 600,000 gallons of water cascade over the brink each second, creating a thunderous roar and sending a cool mist into the air. Niagara Falls State Park offers a variety of lookout points. One of the best of these is free—the 282-foot Prospect Point Park observation tower.

fan boi post warning
CS GO rules and Steam still is the only DRM I would ever let near any of my computers. They will resolve the issues I am sure. That is all.
A new security research outfit called ReVuln has presented its letter of introduction to the world in the form of a paper that analyses how the Steam protocol can expose gamers to attacks. In this document (PDF), the company analyses what happens when a URL using the protocol steam:// is redirected. Of the major browsers, …
CS GO rules and Steam still is the only DRM I would ever let near any of my computers. They will resolve the issues I am sure. That is all.
Why not! The linux power users will find loads of these vulnerabilities and valve will be swamped with bug reports. The platform will have its security and stability improved across all platforms as a result.
The Unreal Engine bugs arent valves problem anyway, its upto the engine devs to fix those vulnerabilities
True, if Linux had an accepted gaming and drm platform it may actually become popular and unhinge Microsoft's dominance!
Wrong answer! DRM + DMCA will prevent anyone from looking at those vulnerabilities. And why should the Linux community work to improve that "platform" which will severely limit their freedoms ? Any particular incentive ? You don't seem to know much about Linux power users do you ?
If DRM is the price to pay for becoming popular then no, thank you very much. Crippling Linux to make it popular is a no go for me. As for Microsoft dominance, I'm not losing any sleep on that.
In what way does providing a DRM platform to allow wide spread deployment of commercial applications "crippling linux" ... I think you need to learn more about the system you're using and the difference between application/desktop manager/kernel/generic application suite.
Saddly you strike me as the kind of person who'd like any band as long as it was "underground" and then rage when they "sell out" and become "commercial." Even if the band was rubbish to start with.
Half-life And Counter-Strike run on GoldSrc not Source.
The Steam web browser can only be forced to redirect to a malicious page if the command comes from a page hosted at one of Valve's domains because it's hard coded. I'm no security expert but I'd guess that means you'd either need to break into their servers, hijack their domain or (possibly, I'm not sure,) use XSS.
The reinstall feature will only work with local backups so you'd need to get your files onto the computer some other way before you could use the integer overflow vuln. If you can already remotely drop files onto a computer why would you need this Steam exploit? Privilege escalation? Surely Steam doesn't run as Admin?
The Unreal Engine is not maintained by Valve.
doesn't steam use webkit nowdays anyway?
on an interesting note, wouldn't you be able to get files onto the local machine using a game like counter strike as those auto download mods (which is far preferable to any of the alternatives...) but games are bound to be full of exploits - but you know what bugger it. Computers are full of exploits and there's not much we can do about it. Except not using computers I suppose.
I uninstalled Java a few weeks ago because of the security issues, then re-installed it because I really, really wanted to play Minecraft (sigh)
I'm with Fibbles on this. Most of these vulnerabilities seem like pretty weak sauce.
Yes, considering they only posted a half life story today shocking mistake to make.
"Half-life And Counter-Strike run on GoldSrc not Source."
What is scary here is the range of vulnerabilities that the researchers have found in the Steam software. What started off as abuse of the URI handler then went on to code execution through an integer overflow vulnerability in the parsing of images. There are a range of vulnerabilities and Steam have alot of work to address this and give us re-assurances that they are taking steps to develop secure code. They haven't been keen on using compiler defensive technologies (ASLR, DEP, stack cookies) because of performance reasons but they are making a trade off when it comes to security.
I have a Steam account, bought a game through them because it was the cheapest option. Doing it that way annoyed me so I bought the stand alone desktop version of the game and forgot about Steam. Then about 2 months ago I start to get alert emails from them with a link to click to reset my password, someone is trying to access my account. Annoying but since I no longer want it I ask Steam if they will kindly delete my account and why. They are apparently utterly unable to delete an account so I have a Steam account until the day I die.
What annoyed you about it? Was it the simplicity of the purchase, the automatic updates and patches, or the ability to contact friends for easy multiplayer gaming?
Yes, getting emails about your account being locked is annoyed, but that's why we have email filters and rules.
1: Download TF2
2: Add a selection of cheats such as aimbots for TF2.
3: Go on a VAC secured server and blatantly cheat.
4: Get naughty stepped.
5: Repeat steps 3 through 4 until Valve suspend your account permanently.
Hurray for automatic updates. Like the one for Civ V a few months ago that irreversibly corrupted all saved games? That's progress!
Hurray for being able to contact friends. It's amazing that the internet existed for so long without Steam - how on Earth did people communicate?
With nuclear weapons?
Anyway it isn't steams fault Firaxis released a crap patch, and if you're the kind of person that doesn't auto install updates and instead waits to see what the forum says (these people don't really exist there are two kinds of patchers those who auto patch and those who patch when they find something horribly broken) just turn off the auto update management. It's not rocket science.
What I like about steam other than obviously my addiction to CS is the fact that you can buy games on steam and 5 years from now install the client on another machine and boom you have all the games you purchased right there no finding long lost DVDs etc. This was a pleasant surprise for me when I installed the steam client on my Mac and was able to download the majority of the games I had purchased years ago for my old PC (obviously some games never ported to Mac).
Getting VAC banned is not going to delete the Steam account. It simply flags it as a VAC banned user.
Contacting Valve support and requesting they delete the data is more likely to succeed. Especially if you mention your local privacy laws (or theirs).
Yes, you can disable automatic updates. In fact, you need to for the reason mentioned above. Which completely negates the original point.
The game I was playing on Steam is also movable from machine to machine. Even if you lose everything an email will give you a registration code and you are away again, though your save games will not be. DVD? with a game on? what be that? Does not compute.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray: Detroit Auto Show
- The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has arrived.
- 450 horsepower, standard 7-speed manual.
- Dramatic overhaul inside and out.
The next Corvette has arrived. For only the seventh time since the sports car first arrived sixty years ago, Chevrolet has pulled the cover off an all-new Corvette. And the latest version is lighter, faster, and more powerful than the model it replaces.
One major change comes to the renowned sports car's name itself. According to Chevrolet, it's no longer just the Corvette. Instead, it's officially now the "Corvette Stingray." That revives a name first used on the 1963 Corvette, which was named the "Sting Ray" after a 1950s race car that inspired by the animal.
But while the name may be a throwback, the rest of the car is all new. Chevy says the Corvette Stingray shares just two parts with its predecessor. They're certainly not exterior panels, as the new model looks very different from the old "C6." Parts of the design are clearly evolutionary, with edges sharpened and dramatic creases added. But other details are totally new, like taillights that ditch the classic "four circle" shape and adopt the brand's current squared off design theme. Other major changes include removing the wraparound rear window -- first seen in the early 1980s -- and adding LED strips to the headlights.
The Corvette is also all-new under the hood. While the new LT1 V8 engine displaces the same 6.2 liters as before, power jumps to 450 hp from last year's 430. Torque is also up, reaching 450 lb-ft instead of last year's 424. Driving purists will welcome the arrival of an all-new 7-speed manual transmission, which includes a rev-matching feature to assist with quick downshifts. A 6-speed automatic remains optional. And while Chevrolet hasn't announced the Corvette Stingray's curb weight, the brand promises the sports car will go from 0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds with the available Z51 Performance Package. That makes it quicker than high-dollar rivals like the Porsche 911 Carrera S and the Audi R8.
The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray also benefits from an overhauled interior. Chevy says the cabin was designed to appear more intimate and luxurious, with soft-touch materials throughout. New seats provide more bolstering, while aluminum trim and carbon fiber accents give it a sporty feel. A driver-facing center stack houses an available 3D navigation system, while stitched leather can be found nearly everywhere, from the dashboard to the center armrest.
Like its predecessor, the Corvette Stingray also features a removable roof panel. But while the C6 Corvette's roof was painted body color, it's unpainted carbon fiber in the latest model. According to Chevrolet, the move to carbon fiber helps save weight. While Chevrolet has not yet announced details on an upcoming convertible variant of the Stingray, we think a droptop model likely won't be far behind.
Officially a 2014 model, the Corvette Stingray will reach dealers in the fall of 2013. Chevrolet has not yet announced pricing for the Stingray, though we wouldn't expect it to stray too far from today's base price of just over $50,000 including destination.
What it means to you: Chevrolet dealers will likely have waiting lists for the new Corvette long before the first ones arrive later this year.

VATICAN CITY — With help from an Australian teammate, the Pontifical North American College is heading to the Clericus Cup semifinals April 28. This will be the NAC Martyrs' fourth consecutive semifinal play since the soccer series for seminarians first kicked off in 2007.
The Martyrs beat the Pontifical Urban College 4-2 on Saturday making it a great way for the men to celebrate the April 21st birthday of the NAC's rector Msgr. James Checchio!
The NAC houses a number of Australian seminarians since "the men down under" don't have a pontifical college of their own. Lewi Barakat of the Archdiocese of Sydney netted two goals in the game's final half, pulling the NAC out of an excruciating 2-2 tie.
Deacon David Santos of the Archdiocese of Newark and John Gibson of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee nabbed the team's two other goals.
The Martyrs and its superhero fan base are once again hoping to come home with the Clericus Cup championship title, which has eluded them for the past five years. Their best showing came in 2010 when they took second place overall and won an award for "Best Fans."
Super heroes such as Batman, Spider-Man and Wolverine turn out for every game, waving American flags and rallying the fans. Uncle Sam and a fluffy yellow chicken made special appearances in the stands this year.

Tonight was my first official Limmud. For those who don't know, Limmud is a British-Jewish Charity organization whose mission is "Wherever you find yourself, Limmud will take you one step further along your Jewish journey." Founded in the United Kingdom by the amazing Mr. Clive Lawton (awesome live speaker BTW), Limmud was a mode or method of learning for Jews in the UK. Now some thirty years later, Limmud has grown into an international organization organizing Jewish learning events around the globe. As a matter of fact, Limmud will have a Shanghai event in early April. (I will be going for sure!)
How Limmud relates to my own story? Well, we should be a big happy family! I'm still in the beginnings of my Jewish journey, I look to Limmud to provide additional resources and assistance in moving along in this journey. In all my touch points with Jewish culture, there is much to learn and not a Pope in sight (explain the Pope thing later). Mr. Clive Lawton, one of the original founders of Limmud gave two interesting talks at the Hong Kong event. One is "Weird Tales from the Talmud" and the other "Are there prophets anymore". Afterwards, I hurriedly grabbed Clive to chat about his organization Limmud. He is such a jovial, fun, and an engaging speaker and totally in the know about every aspect of Jewish people and its history. He gave me some history of the organization and the reasons behind its humble beginnings. Clive mentioned in the "Weird Tales from the Talmud" talk that Jews, unlike Christians, do not like the idea of having a Pope-like figure. That's why I made my earlier comment about not a Pope in sight.
I wish I can write more but it's almost midnight and I have group project meeting tomorrow morning for my Social Policy Research class. I will blog more about Limmud next week as I prepare for my Limmud number 2 in Shanghai.
Hope everyone is well!
