How can they? I think you're missing the point of the pricing mechanism.
Soviet planners even copied commodity prices out of The Wall Street Journal to use in their calculations. Lew Rockwell told a wonderful story about Gorbachev's press secretary. When asked about his dream for mankind, the secretary replied that he hoped to see all of the world embrace socialism, except for New Zealand. "But why not New Zealand?" a reporter wondered. "Well," the secretary responded, "we will need someone to get the prices from."

The example I gave, Parecon, is a decentralized form of planned economy which happens to use a price mechanism, supply and demand curves, features worker self-management, etc. I already offered a link, and googling for "parecon prices" offers some readable sources.
I should note that people influenced by neoliberal doctrine tend to find this surprising. Because such lit uses the term "planned economy" with a peculiar technical meaning: a centralized state-run command economy like in the old Soviet Union. (When really, outside such narrow technical definitions, my understanding is that a mom 'n pop store is a "command economy.")
These discussions can be difficult because when it comes to societal matters, words lose their traditional meanings. Take "liberal," "conservative," "libertarian" and "anarchist." It's hard to even talk about these things, because words aren't allowed to retain their sane meanings. (Like when radical statist Republican politicians call themselves "conservative." Words don't have to mean anything anymore.)

The argument for free market usually goes like this: If something is desired, people can make more profit, and so make more, since more people/more is available, when there is too much, they cannot ask as much, and the production/availability of a service goes down. And that way, the supply always meets demand as much as possible.
Frankly this argument is overrated, although it is right to like a simple theory with a simple consequence, it is not right to overgeneralize it. It is not like a mathematical statement, absolutely true when you assume the axioms, and sometimes it plain doesn't apply. Frankly industries in the US abuse it's popularity because they profit from it's flaws. That is part of why i called findinglisp 'dogmatic', what you said are often handles for this sort of thing. Still i was strongly exaggerating for doing so, at that point at least, also abuse of an idea is no argument against an idea.
But the cattle holders and field demonstrates a way that it doesn't work. If there is more demand and supply and too little field, each cattle holder is still enticed to having more cattle, even though that would decrease the total production of the field, decreasing supply. Of course this particular example is solvable, there is probably a reasonably fair way to divide the land, like by divisioning it over the population and allowing the population to sell it to each other, or by doing the same over licensing a number of cows. (Both of these having their advantages.)
This, of course also needs some authority that is obligated too.
So much for stuff analogous to the cattle in this post, now for things to which the argument for free market does not apply.
For instance, if the competition is mostly over quality, the customers must actually recognize it. Sometimes, when it is really technical, this is very difficult for them/they don't do it. An example would be MS near monopoly on the desktop, people just don't compare Linux and Windows.
Although anticompetitive tactics likely also play a role, of course any (reasonable)regulation against these would also be against the liberty of some persons/organizations, and ones probably exist that most people find fair.
Mobile phones is also an example, these are often bundled with service. I am referring to the useless proliferation of power connectors. Luckily the EU is fixing this. In general, i don't think capitalism promotes compatibility, any competitor wants his product compatible with others but not vice versa.
(Aside)As an example where EU restricting something is more dubious: the efficiency of lights (Often erroneously called ban on lightbulbs, that is just an effect of lightbulbs inefficiency.) The problem is that the quality of the light really is different, non-lightbulb light might look white, but doesn't have a smooth spectrum, but such that the cones in our eyes see white. Materials, however, do absorb differently over other frequencies then our cones, so we see the object differently based on other parts of the spectrum.
Still, the regulation might be incentive for creation of more efficient lights that actually do have the quality of the lightbulb.
Another example where things can well be too complicated for consumers, is insurance, insurance companies can put all sort of stuff in small lettering for consumers to fall over. The overall sum of things for consumer to track can also be too high.
And there is the question how long it takes to settle into a place where supply and demand meet.
There is the issue whether some projects are too large to be funded by anyone in particular.
There is the problem of labor also being a part of supply and demand, and the disparity of the ones doing the work and the ones in control and getting the profit.
If there is too much labor, there is poverty in 'pure' capitalism, and there is no reason to assume that there is always more work to be invented.
Also, there is the question whether it is desirable to invent ever more work. Isn't the point to get the work done, and to work to live?
And is supply and demand really a fair way of determining what the earnings of a person should be? Only up to a point i'd say. More egreous is what education people can get from their money, as that affects their chances to change their position. (And 'commercial scholarships' are bound to come with shackles.)
Further, there might be a limited supply of educated people, and if they follow greed those will do the more profitable problems of the rich first. Still if a government wanted less-profitable problems solved, incentivising it and using capitalism is a way. However, universities working not exactly via capitalism have proven their worth in many many things.

As for Einstein, i hope i didn't imply 'look here is Einstein, he must be right'. I do think is insight of the consequences of social things, and overestimate the selflessness of people. . (Well, smart people nearly always project other people as being smarter then they actually are.) Any 'system of society' shouldn't focus on changing people, in finding a way to let them interact such that resulting system is stable and desirable. But i think he was thinking about consequences of the free market applied everywhere, and seeing that it was naive to think that that would always work.
Edit: and oh, yeah current stock exchange, relative variation in month scale: Monsanto ~30%, Philips ~25%, Intel ~25% McDonalds ~10%, these numbers are ridiculous and completely not related to the actual position of the corporations. I have no clue why these fluctuate so much.
Stock exchanges grew from something useful, investing in an enterprise repaying itself if the investor was correct in thinking the idea would work, by contrast stock exchanges seem mostly for milking, while fluctuating (presumably)completely due to speculation.
I am not against investment, and even people selling their investment to other people, but something is wrong..
And it isn't investment if a company is just chugging along with no real growth, then the company didn't need external money in the first place, and is just screwing over it's customers buy having to pay the 'investment' back plus a little.

Sure, but why is that a problem? Presumably they do something that somebody within them wants? If something is actively done, somebody must be actively doing it.
If you, as an employee disagree with the activities of the corporation, you are free to leave. If it's really illegal, as opposed to merely objectionable, you can report the corporation into the authorities. I see no difference in any of this between a large corporation with 100,000 employees and a small sole-proprietorship with 10 employees.

Note that I'm not arguing for transfats. I think they are bad just like you do. I'm arguing for the freedom for people to create products and to consume whatever they want, whether healthy or unhealthy. If transfats are so bad, I could see a labeling requirement, but not an outright ban.

The year's biggest bike trade show, Eurobike officially starts on Wednesday.
After a quick presentation of facts and figures about the European bike industry (precis: it's doing amazingly well while the rest of Europe's economy still struggles) we were able to get a quick look at a few highlights from Cannondale, Sugoi and Dahon's 2010 ranges.
Much more to come over the next few days.
Cannondale reveals Quick, son of Stealth & three-speed Baddie
Based on last year's Stealth concept bike, this is Cannondale's Quick Ultimate "sporty trail bike". With a carbon frame and a suite of high-end components it weighs just 8.15kg and will retail for €2,499.
We're already hearing a lot at Eurobike about a European trend for people to spend more on bikes, despite the recession, and Cannondale obviously thinks there's a market for this machine, which features a very tidily integrated fork and custom seat tube.
Cannondale's new Quick Ultimate, their 8.15kg 'sporty trail bike'
Cannondale's Bad Boy 3
Cannondale's core urban bike line, the Bad Boy bikes, will be even more black for 2010, according to Peter Kinzel, Cannondale's urban project manager. We're amazed he resisted the 'none more black' Spinal Tap reference so there it is for him.
However, the Bad Boy 3 has gunmetal grey stem and bar, though everything else including the rims and even the disc rotors is black. In a departure from previous Bad Boys, it also has a three-speed hub. "It's the future," says Kinzel, pointing out that lots of city bikes have three-speeds, which gets you the look of a fixie with a bit of extra practicality.
Sugoi takes to the street
Another strong trend for 2010 is 'ordinary clothes you can ride in'. Sugoi, known for serious cycling kit and especially for gear that can keep you going through a Canadian winter, is launching a range of urban gear at Eurobike, including this Mobil Carbon jacket, which is available in both men's and women's version.
Modelled here by Sugoi's European PR Coordinator Katrin Engel, the Mobil Carbon is breathable and water resistant, and has cleverly concealed reflective pieces. It's part of a line Sugoi calls H.O.V. for 'Human Operated Vehicle'.

Dahon gets bigger, folds helmet
Dahon caught our eye with their new Ios XL 24in-wheeled folder and Pango folding helmet
The Ios XL is "a full-size bike [with] a compact, convenient fold," according to Dahon, and its bigger wheels certainly set it apart from the usual tiny-wheeled folders. The IOS XL has an easily adjustable tool-less stem for altering the position of the bars.
The Freedrive chain system is essentially a chain cover to keep oil, dirt and chain grime from the wearers' trousers while riding or lifting the bike.
Dahon's folding bikes have a pump concealed as part of the seatpost
A Shimano Alfine hub, Dahon's trademark pump-in-the-seatpost and integrated front and rear lights make this a well thought out commuting machine.
What also sets it apart is its BioLogic Freecharge dynamo and battery system. This consists of a lithium polymer battery that's charged from the hub dynamo as you ride and that can in turn charge a phone, iPod, GPS, etc, via its in-built USB port.
We're hearing rumours of similar systems from, among others, lighting specialists Busch & Muller so it looks like charging your iPhone as you ride will be one of this show's mini-trends.
Dahon's Jetstream full-suspension folding bike caught our eye at the Eurobike Demo Day. New for 2010 on the Jetstream are front and rear disc brakes instead of V-brakes, apparently because of customer demand.
New red anodised rims add a bit of bling, and the use of Kore's T-Rail seatpost adds more adjustability options for the saddle.
Carrying a helmet round town is often a bit of a pain. Dahon's answer is the Pango, which quickly folds to about a third of its usual size.
One for the fixie lovers
Finally for now, we're suckers for a nice alt.urban bike, so we couldn't go past this Viva Duro from

Poll Shows Obama Health Law Fails To Gain Support
WASHINGTON (AP) — Public support for President Barack Obama's health care law is languishing at its lowest level since passage of the landmark legislation four years ago, according to a new poll.
The Associated Press-GfK survey finds that 26 percent of Americans support the Affordable Care Act. Yet even fewer — 13 percent — think it will be completely repealed. A narrow majority expects the law to be further implemented with minor changes, or as passed.
The poll was taken before Thursday's announcement by the White House that new health insurance markets have surpassed the goal of 6 million sign-ups.

candieiro needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 46 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
Mockup: http://adysignstudio.com/images/thu…bozart.jpg (plz read entire brief).
This should be the one stop for any serious aspiring or established artist to showcase, network and promote her/his work. The layout should be clean yet nifty with subtle elements such as a great font choice for headers font, a unified color scheme....
Lebozart aims to be the platform for artists in many areas to have the right tools to promote and showcase their work. This will the characteristic of many community website, but aesthetics will obviously play a key role here.
Competition / Inspiration
- http://www.livingforart.com
Great design like the curved borderlines very original.
- http://www.coolshowcase.com
Very close to what we looking for but not quite, maybe only two rows of the art would've been plenty and this ensures that the work is above the fold, other sections would be below
- http://www.redbubble.com
Pretty plain for a design, but it's obvious from the get go what the site is aboutOnce again this is aimed for the artist community, though the design should not compete with the art itself it definitely should add extra value for any of the talent that decide to join us.
Depending on the number of response we get for this contest we can almost guarantee you that we will post a feedback to any design that get posted to help achieve our vision - WE WILL WORK WITH YOU - and if we find the right person here, logo and other designs projects related to this site will be offered to you first. Ask as many questions you need to put you in the right direction

On 19 September 2009, James Bowthorpe shattered Mark Beaumont's supposedly 'unbreakable' world record for the fastest bicycle circumnavigation of the globe, raising the bar for future riders to an impressive 176 days.
BikeRadar spoke to the quiet former furniture maker from Balham, London about what kept him going throughout those 100-mile-plus days, his tips for maintaining focus and his plans for the future.
The challenge
The round-the-world cycle record, as laid out by Guinness, consists of 18,000-plus miles in one direction, on the same bike, taking in two antipodal (ie. on diametrically opposite sides of the globe) points.
Bowthorpe set out to break this record to raise money and awareness for the charity What's Driving Parkinson's?, for whom he had done some voluntary work.
"I was looking for something to base my fundraising on and considering all kinds of things, not necessarily to do with the bike," he said. "Then I saw that Mark Beaumont had set a new world record that was being touted as 'unbreakable' and I said to myself, 'that's the thing to do'. The fundraising was always the most important thing."
Hot on Bowthorpe's heels in a round-the-world record attempt is Julian Sayarer, currently in North America, whose website name ThisIsNotForCharity.com echoes his manifesto of a totally non-sponsored ride with no commercial interests.
It's a strangely militant approach, yet nice guy Bowthorpe is keen to point out his support of the new contender, and says that he was sent an email early on in his attempt, saying that the name of the website was not intended as a jibe at him. It would appear it is Beaumont who is the target of Sayerer's vitriol.
Bowthorpe is unfazed by the idea of having his record broken. "I can only break the existing record, not future ones," he said. "He's really doing well and I hope he breaks it. Not many people put themselves out there to do this kind of thing. I wish he was fundraising for my charity, he has so much energy."

Training wheels
It's natural to think of round-the-world cyclists as being a breed apart – super-humans with the stamina, if not the speed, of Grand Tour riders. While that's probably not far from the truth by the end of the journey, in the beginning Bowthorpe was an averagely fit guy who had prepared adequately and was passionately committed to the task at hand. "I was resolved from the beginning," he said. "I knew it was going to be difficult. I just did it."
He did have considerable long distance riding experience on his side though, with past achievements including a trans-Himalayan trip with his brother, cycling around Canada and pedalling from Alaska to LA. But most of these took place about a decade ago; since then, Bowthorpe has mostly used a bike as daily transport. "I definitely came out of retirement for this one!"
Training for the ride took place mainly off the bike, with the primary focus being on strengthening the muscles he would require for 100-mile-plus days. "I didn't do very much riding as preparation," he said. "I knew I'd be in the same position every day for 14 hours so I worked on core and back strength, forearms, wrists, fingers and neck muscles. This enabled me to put the hours in on the trip and the cycling fitness developed from there."
Fresh faced: Leaving the UK back in March
The road is long…
In an 18,000 mile solo journey, there are bound to be ups and downs, both literal and figurative. Bowthorpe had periods of mental and physical discomfort to contend with during his epic ride, including intense heat and thirst in India and the Australian Outback, gastric problems in India and several episodes of unwanted attention, both well-meaning and not so well-meaning.
India was one of the greatest challenges. Battling severe stomach problems, Bowthorpe could barely manage breakfast and lost nearly 20 percent of his body weight, all while tackling some of the hottest and most intense riding of the trip.
"I knew that in order to carry on I had to go forward and get out of India," he said. "This meant cycling 130 miles a day on very few calories. India is quite a difficult place for rapid cycling at the best of times. Knowing that I had to go forward to get home was the thing that kept me going!
"There were hard times but I was never going to give up. Maybe if I'd been doing it for myself I'd have been more inclined to give up, but I was doing it to raise money for something I really believed in, and there were so many people supporting me and in a way relaying on me, that I couldn't give up."

Support was something Bowthorpe was grateful for throughout, and he kept in touch with his followers by posting on social networking website Twitter. Part of the way through the ride, Lance Armstrong, 'Mr Fundraising Cyclist', mentioned Bowthorpe's expedition to his 1.7 million 'followers'; the result was a huge leap in Bowthorpe's own 'followers'.
"Twitter was really important to my morale," he said. "It was crucial for me to stay positive and Twitter is a punchy, lighthearted way of keeping people abreast of what I was doing, and it's a fun way for me to communicate with followers."
Rather than playing mind games to keep him going when the going got tough, Bowthorpe hunkered down and tried to maintain a positive outlook, feeling very strongly that the physical and mental exertion of his trip were inextricably linked.
His iPhone proved invaluable, allowing the all-important blog updates, and also carrying photos of loved ones and music. "Music was very important to the ride – linking me to strong memories of home and friends and family," he said.
An iPhone and other gadgets helped Bowthorpe keep in touch with life back home
The Good, the bad and the ugly
Clocking up an average of over 100 miles a day meant that there wasn't much in the way of sightseeing time along the way, but there were still people and places who made an impact.
In Iran, Bowthorpe encountered one of the most frightening and dangerous situations of the whole trip, when he was threatened and nearly run off the road by a car full of strangers, yet this was also where he met with the greatest hospitality and human kindness.
In Turkey, he was given accommodation and fed by a father and son who ran a roadside mosque, in San Francisco a signmaker named Boon printed a flag for his bike free of charge, and in New Zealand he encountered support and enthusiasm that helped him on his way.
New Zealand was also one of the countries that most struck a chord with him. "The most amazing place I passed through was the Pacific Coast of New Zealand," he said. "I'd like to go back and spend more time appreciating New Zealand, as I passed through it in just six days 23 hours."
Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge in California
Tools of the trade
The Santos Travelmaster Alu 2.6 that Bowthorpe rode around the world still looks good as new, showing little to suggest a circumnavigation involving deserts, dirt roads and wandering wombats.
There were some initial problems with the belt drive, due to a misalignment, which was addressed during a scheduled service in Perth, Australia, and the replacement belt is still going strong now.
"It was virtually maintenance free, which saved me a lot of time and was one fewer thing to worry about," said Bowthorpe. "Given the opportunity I'd never ride a chain drive bike again. A spare belt only weighs about 100g too."
A cracked crank – replaced with a crank from a mechanic's own bike- and the inevitable punctures were the only other technical issues Bowthorpe encountered: "The bike was pretty much unstoppable."
Bowthorpe with Robbert Rutgrink, MD of Santos, who supplied him with his bike
Bowthorpe's kit list had to be pared down to the absolute minimum to allow for the fact that he was carrying everything himself, with no support. All 20kg of it went into two pairs of Ortlieb Classic panniers, including tent, sleeping bag and clothing, which he exchanged by post from time to time to make sure he always had what was required for local conditions.
Water was a big consideration and added significantly to the weight being carried, at a kilo per litre. "I had to carry all my own spares and tools but I was careful not to take too much," he said. "I opted not to take any cooking equipment – it's heavy and I knew I wasn't going to have time to cook anyway.
"My capacity for carrying water changed a lot. Through the Nullarbor (a huge plain in South and Western Australia) I was carrying 15 litres just in case; and crossing the Mojave (a desert in the south-west of the US) I was carrying 20 litres and using it."
Hot and thirsty in Guadalupe, California
Surprisingly, Bowthorpe's kit list did not include padded shorts. "I was sent my first and only pair of padded shorts in Istanbul," he said. "I didn't use them all the time, and I didn't get saddle sores. I put this down to good hygiene, clean underwear, Gold Bond talc and my 10-year-old Brooks saddle.
"The bike was fitted to me, which had a big part to play – I was sitting perfectly on my sit bones. That's probably the best way to avoid saddle sores."
Using thousands of calories each day, Bowthorpe was on a constant mission to take in enough food to sustain his progress. "My general guide was to eat as often as possible whilst not stopping too often," he said.
"I did have to resort to Mars bars and condensed milk sometimes, but I tried to eat proper meals… even if that was giant cheese sandwiches. I was relieved to get to Australia so I could start eating junk food but my favourite food was soup and dumplings in Thailand."
Bowthorpe faced some 'Interesting' menu choices
The road ahead
So far, Bowthorpe and GlobeCycle have raised about £60,000 for charity, which is still a way off the ambitious target of £1.8 million, but he's certainly not done yet with his fundraising; in the last week alone, the coffers have swelled by £4,000.
When asked about his plans for the future, Bowthorpe was keeping his cards firmly to his chest, although hints have been dropped about a UK challenge with TV coverage. "It's potentially more difficult than what I've just done, and has never been done before," he said.
His profile has been steadily rising, with coverage in several newspapers, magazines, websites and on BBC London and Radio 2. With TV lurking in his future, the comparison has to be drawn with his media savvy precursor Mark Beaumont, who has carved a nice career for himself from his record.
Bowthorpe seems grounded in the present though, and keen to focus on his original goal. "It's all been very exciting," he said. "Part of the point of this trip was to raise the profile of What's Driving Parkinson's? so I'm very grateful for all these opportunities and I'm looking for more! There seem to be a few people interested. I want to carry on with fundraising for What's Driving Parkinson's?."
For the time being though, he's happy spending some time with his girlfriend Nadja, has just found himself a flat in London and is enjoying more than five hours of sleep a night and getting dressed standing up rather than lying cramped in a tent.
Knowing what he does now, would he do it all again? "Yes, why not?"

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an extensive net-like membrane complex present in eukaryotic cells consisting of bifurcating tubules and the sac-like structures known as cisternae. In many animal cells, the organelle accounts for more than 50 percent of the total amount of membranous material present in the cytoplasm. The variously shaped components of the organelle are interconnected, and together separate the highly convoluted internal region of the endoplasmic reticulum, often referred to as the lumen or cisternal space, from the surrounding cytosol. The endoplasmic reticulum membrane is also contiguous with the envelope that encases the nucleus, thus, the region between the two membranes that comprise the nuclear envelope is continuous with ER lumen. In addition to significantly compartmentalizing the cell and functioning as a selective barrier, the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum carries out a number of other important functions, such as the synthesis of lipids and proteins as well as the detoxification of poisonous substances.
The fixed and permeabilized adherent culture of MDOK cells illustrated above was treated with a cocktail of concanavalin A conjugated to Texas Red and Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin to label the endoplasmic reticulum and filamentous actin networks, respectively. The nuclei were subsequently counterstained with Hoechst 33258. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Married couples allowance
I haven't written anything for ages as we have been quite busy for semi retired people. I have been helping a friend with some filming and been driving in The Lake District and Glasgow and I'm heading up there again tomorrow.
Listening to the radio this morning though I heard the latest stupid proposal from another party desperate to win votes from a disinterested public. This time it's the Tories ahead of their Manchester conference saying that they'll give £200 a year tax breaks to married couples.
For fooks sake. I'm in my mid sixties, reasonable stuck in my ways, a lover and supporter of the sanctity of marriage, but that's just so utterly irrelevant and in fact insulting I don't know what they could be thinking of. What must the hundreds of thousands of single parent families think of that? What must the poor sods who's other halves have died think of it? And all the perfectly normal strong families that aren't married?
I'm not sure which is worse. This crap from the Cons or Ed Milliband's stupid idea of freezing energy prices. OOK, prices are hefty and going up scarily fast, but freezing them isn't going to help a lot, and is only expected to save people a hundred odd quid a year.
Bloody hell I try not to pay attention to politics and it's stuff like this that makes me turn against it. Complete bollocks from Eton. I hate the principles of that other arse Farrage, but he might be the only one talking sense at the moment.
Whoa! Calm down old man and take your medicine! Yes, a pint of Landlord for the old man please!

Has this ever happened to you before? You fix yourself a tall glass of iced coffee and by the time you reach the bottom your drink seems more like water with a slight coffee taste.
To help alleviate this issue you can use coffee cubes to chill your iced coffee.
Coffee cubes are what they sound like- ice cubes made out of coffee. To create coffee cubes use left over brewed coffee and pour into an ice cube tray and freeze. Once frozen these coffee cubes can be added to iced coffee and will not dilute the delicious coffee flavor.
To add a fun twist to your iced coffee, pour cool, brewed coffee into fun shaped ice cube trays. Look at the fun star shaped coffee cubes we created!

FreeBSD-based systems
DesktopBSD joins the ranks of PC-BSD and FreeSBIE as a desktop-ready version of FreeBSD. However, their desktop is based on KDE.
DragonFly is an operating system and environment designed to be the logical continuation of the FreeBSD-4.x OS series.
I have mostly ported GNUstep to DragonFly, I just need to submit patches now for both GNUstep and DragonFly. To know more, you can contact me. Quentin Mathé
You can install GNUstep using the /usr/ports/devel/gnustep meta-port. However, not all required dependencies seem to get installed.
If you install the following in advance, you should be fine: wmaker, libxml2, libxslt, libgmp4, libart_lgpl2, libaudiofile, portaudio, ffcall, glitz. A complete list of dependencies can be found here.
CUPS is used for printing functionality. OTOH, it is a good idea to go for Samba directly, which also includes CUPS as a dependency.
Additionally, you may also want to install mDNSResponder.
Note : Prior to FreeBSD-6.0, there is a bug in kvm(3) that requires a mounted /proc for GNUstep to work properly. Until this bug is fixed, make sure you have an entry for /proc in your /etc/fstab:
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
References: FreeBSD GNUstep ports, Freshports GNUstep
FreeBSD-Kernel w/ GNU userland
It was reported that this runs GNUstep as well. For more details see the topic of the IRC channel #gnu-kbsd on irc.gnu.org
FreeSBIE is a Live-CD Version of FreeBSD.
PicoBSD is a one floppy version of FreeBSD 3.0-current. You won't be able to use it as a platform for GNUstep.
PC-BSD has as its goals to be an easy to install and use desktop OS, which is built on the FreeBSD operating system.
Installing GNUstep from pkgsrc is really straight-forward for NetBSD if you're using a recent pkgsrc distribution. NetBSD/i386 has no known problems right now, however there are reports of crashout problems for gdomap on NetBSD/sparc which may be related to ffi/ffcall issues.
In terms of pre-requisites, ensure you've got a working X11 environment on your system and preferrably are using WindowMaker as your window manager.
Build instructions
To install GNUstep, you need to cd to your pkgsrc tree and then cd to the right package directory, on my system:
cd /usr/pkgsrc
then go to the package you wish to install, for example:
cd meta-pkgs/gnustep
and issue the command:
make install
This command will download source code and whatever dependencies and compile and install them. The version of the meta-packages I used (released with NetBSD 2.0 and called gnustep-1.10.0nb2) installs the following GNUstep components as parts of the meta-package:
- gnustep-make-1.10.0
- gnustep-base-1.10.1
- gnustep-ssl-1.10.1
- gnustep-gui-0.9.4
- gnustep-back-0.9.4
- gnustep-examples-1.0.0
- ImageViewer-0.6.3
- Pantomime-1.1.2
- Addresses-0.4.6
- GNUMail-1.1.2
- Gorm-0.8.0
- ProjectCenter-0.4.0
- GWLib-0.6.5
- Renaissance-0.8.0
- gworkspace-0.6.5
A number of dependency packages are also installed.
This may be overkill - if you don't need all the applications etc, you can install the packages individually.

Life Science: Session 3
Body Cell Reproduction
What is a body cell?
One characteristic that is shared by all animals is that they are multicellular. Each cell that composes an animal is called a somatic or body cell — skin, muscle, and nerve cells are some examples. Each animal is composed of many different types of body cells that display amazing variation in form and function. However, despite this diversity, every body cell of an animal is identical when it comes to the organization of the hereditary material DNA. In the nucleus of each body cell, DNA is organized into chromosomes, which exist as chromosome pairs — with each member of a pair carrying the same set of genes.
This organization of chromosomes represents the animal's genome and it carries all of the information necessary for reproducing another animal of that type. In terms of chromosome pairs, all animals of the same type are alike – that is, their body cells contain the same number and arrangement of chromosomes. The human genome, for example, consists of 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs. The genome of a fruit fly consists of eight chromosomes arranged in four pairs.
What surprises many people is that every body cell of an animal — indeed, of any multicellular organism — carries its entire genome. Cells end up being different from one another because different genes within the genome direct their development.
How do body cells reproduce?
The cell theory states that all cells arise from pre-existing cells. Body cells are formed when existing body cells divide. When this happens, it is necessary to pass the entire genome to the resulting two daughter cells in order to ensure that each gets a complete set of chromosomes. How does this happen? Prior to cell division, all of the chromosomes of the parent cell duplicate. Then, each chromosome is passed to each daughter cell. It is critical that this orderly and precise process happens every time a body cell divides. If it doesn't, daughter cells won't form properly (or at all) and this may have a negative impact on the entire organism. The scientific name for this process, which is illustrated in the animation below, is mitosis.
START mitosis animation
What is the role of body cell reproduction in an animal life cycle?
All animals lives begin when the sex cells of two parents unite to form the first body cell of the offspring — the fertilized egg. As important as this is in an animal life cycle, that single cell represents the only goal of sex cell production. After that first body cell forms, body cell reproduction is the process by which animals grow and develop, and by which new cells are produced
and worn out cells replaced. Body cell reproduction thus occurs throughout an animal's life span and is the dominant form of cell reproduction during a life cycle.

Civil Rights and Constitutional LitigationThis course will examine litigation to enforce constitutional and civil rights, with a particular focus on the procedural and remedial questions in that litigation. We will study cases seeking damages from state and federal officers for violation of constitutional rights, including such matters as official and governmental immunities, governmental liability, the calculation of damages, and the calculation and award of attorneys' fees. We will discuss the major Reconstruction-era civil rights statutes, including Sections 1981, 1982, 1983, and 1985, as well as their criminal counterparts. We will explore the unique questions that arise in injunctive litigation seeking structural relief for violation of civil rights. And we will analyze the law governing congressional power to enact civil rights statutes, including the power to override state sovereign immunity.

Tennessee is resuming putting daily traffic death totals on signs over interstates throughout the state.
Tennessee Department of Transportation spokesman John Schrorer told The Tennessean the idea is to bring the figure to the attention of everyone. The figures had been posted only on Fridays for most of the year.
Deaths have spiked in the last half of the year, with monthly totals regularly topping 2012's tallies. In the early months of the year, counts fell below the 2012 numbers.
Tennessee Highway Patrol Col. Tracy Trott says there will be heightened enforcement during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Troopers will be posted every 20 miles along Interstate 40 during peak travel times on Wednesday and Sunday of that week.

A plan to allow Arkansas to retain excess property tax revenue from a handful of school districts has stalled before a state House panel. Supporters say the move effectively kills the proposal for this week's special session.
The House Education Committee rejected an effort Friday to bring the proposal up for a vote after it was tabled earlier in the day. The Senate sponsor of an identical bill said he wouldn't bring it before that chamber due to the House objections.
The proposal would allow the state to retain excess property tax revenue from districts where higher property tax collections pushed the districts above total school funding levels set by state law. It would also phase out the excess revenue from eight districts where collections are currently above that funding level.
Arkansas lawmakers on Friday approved legislation aimed at reducing health insurance rate increases of up to 50 percent that are otherwise set to hit thousands of teachers next year.
The House and Senate passed identical but separate proposals that call for using $43 million in state surplus money this year to lower teachers' insurance premiums. Those measures are expected to head to the opposite chambers for final votes Saturday.
"The short-term fix is just getting the money to stop the bleeding," Sen. Johnny Key, R-Mountain Home, chairman of the Senate Education Committee, said Friday after the Senate passed the surplus measure on a 34-0 vote. "The long-term fix is making the substantial changes needed to the insurance system. ... We have to do a lot of work to make sure that what we have going forward for these employees is the right thing and then to balance it with what's right for taxpayers."
A state board in August approved increasing premiums by as much as 50 percent for the 47,000 teachers on the state plan starting Jan. 1. For example, the premium for family coverage under the most popular plan would increase from $1,029 to $1,528 a month.
State officials say a total of $54 million is needed to keep teachers' rates at the current level. The proposals are expected to lower the premium increases to 10 percent.
The House on Friday also approved a series of long-term changes to the insurance program that supporters say are needed to keep it sustainable. That proposal, which passed on a 90-0 vote, includes a requirement that the teacher insurance plans include a deductible and the creation of a task force to recommend further systemic changes. It now heads to the Senate.
Friday marked the second day of a special session called to address the teacher insurance premiums. Gov. Mike Beebe called the session after he was assured by legislative leaders there were enough votes to pass the measures.
The New York Stock Exchange isn't taking any chances with Twitter's initial public offering.
The Big Board said Friday it would allow trading firms to conduct a dry run of their systems to prepare for Twitter's IPO. The exchange seems to want to avoid the technical problems that marred Facebook's debut on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in May 2012. The glitches were a major embarrassment for Nasdaq, and resulted in a big fine.
The NYSE test will occur on Saturday, Oct. 26, according to a notice sent out to traders.
Twitter said earlier this week that it had chosen to list with the NYSE over rival Nasdaq. The micro-blogging service is expected to go public sometime in November, possibly before Thanksgiving.
Twitter's IPO is the biggest social media debut since Facebook's. While Nasdaq won Facebook's listing, one of the biggest IPOs in years, the debut was hit with trading delays and order failures. As a result, the Securities and Exchange Commission in May fined Nasdaq $10 million, the largest ever levied against an exchange.

Wreck-It Ralph
8-Bit o' Honey
Official Website | Trailers & Mo
PG | 101 min
Wreck-It Ralph may not eggzactly be the gemmiest of the Pixar gems [editor's note – turns out this ISN'T a Pixar pic, but a straight-up Disney toon!], but I can't think of another Pixar toon or any toon for that matter that totally & specifically appealed to me and my endless lust of childhood nostalgia. Sure, Toy Story is the gold standard of such days gone by but never forgottens, but arcades and video games tickle my ye olde fancy much mores so than Mr Potato Head and that Slinky dog could ever (mainly cause Star Wars & GI Joe action figures were my fav toys and they weren't really allowed to play with Woody & Buzz). And while the story of Ralph is all over the place AND THE ARCADE, and at times, a bit too much for the eyes, I was STILL totally game for the gaming being gamed!!!!! It's true! Level passed!
And you know how these modern studio cartoons lean heavily on famous actors to voice the characters and it can be REALLLLLLLLY distracting cause you can't lose yerself in these characters cause all you can hear and think of is the famous person voicing them? WELL, that is NOT the case with Ralphy as John C Reilly, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch and Alan Tudyk (AMAZING!) all disappear behind their 8-bit alter egos with such ease that it's such easy listening! And even moist incredible of incredibles is the work that Sarah Silverman done does as the Powerpuffy lil girl Vanellope von Schweetz. We aint a huge fan of the SS, but NOW WE IS CAUSE SHE SO PERFECT AS THE SWEET AND VICIOUS VANELLOPE WHO MAY LIKE BE ONE OF THE MOST FUN FEMALE DISNEY CHARACTERS SINCE LIKE (Miss Bianca?) EVER! These are truths!
Plus there's all kinds of awesome video game cameos, INCLUDING THE TAPPER DUDE FROM TAPPER!!!!! AND EVEN SOME LOVE FOR THE CONTRA SECRET EXTRA MAN CODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But no love for the kid from The Wizard with the Power Glove??????????????????????????????????????????
Verdictgo: Jeepers Worth A Peepers
Ralph 1-ups itself at a theater near jews

Gary Myers, the New York Daily News football writer who lives in Westchester, is peeling back the curtain behind the relationships between NFL quarterbacks and their fathers.
"My First Coach: Inspiring Stories of NFL Quarterbacks and Their Dads," was released last month. The Pleasantville resident is hosting a book signing at Scattered Books at 29 King Street in Chappaqua on Saturday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
The book is geared toward middle school and high school students, with each chapter having a life lesson.
"At one point John Elway was a 10-year-old kid who may or may not have had NFL aspirations, just like any kid in Chappaqua in that same position," Myers said. "The relationship he had with his father is no different than the average kid around here. It's something they can relate to."
Myers discusses quarterbacks like Phil Simms, who grew up with an alcoholic father with seven siblings, always struggling to pay the bills. The boys would deliver the local newspaper while the girls made breakfast while the parents went to work.
Derek Carr's family uprooted them to Houston when his brother, David, was drafted by the Texans. Myers also explored Ryan Fitzpatrick's childhood and what allowed him to be so good athletically and also academically that he became the first NFL quarterback to have attended Harvard.
Myers said quarterbacks were happy to open up about their relationship with their dad.
"They kind of embraced it," Myers said. "It was different, they weren't talking about what they did on third down. These guys were open and honest. For Phil Simms, it was gut-wrenching to have to relive his past."
The book was inspired by Myers' bestselling book about the rivalry between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Myers' son, Andrew, enjoyed the chapters about their relationship with their fathers and suggested it be expanded into a full-length book.
"There's really a need for something like this," Myers said. "There are a lot of fiction books about sports, but I just haven't found a lot of non-fiction books for that age group. I figured I would give it a shot and try to come up with something.
Myers' father worked for CBS and was a big sports fan, always taking him to football games, attending his Little League games and playing catch in the backyard. Myers said his passion for writing started in 11th grade when he chose a journalism class over English literature and enjoyed seeing his name in the paper.
"I got a kick out of writing something that people were reading," Myers said. "Plus it got me out of taking English lit."
He later attended Syracuse University, and covered the Dallas Cowboys in the 1980s, before joining the Daily News in 1989.
While writing the book, Myers found there is no playbook for raising an NFL quarterback. Some fathers, like Carr's, offered positive reinforcement while Jameis Winston's father was very hard on his son.
"A father has to know his child and a child has to know his father," Myers said.

Wrestling and photography have been synonymous with each other since the inception of portable cameras. Wrestling and San Francisco's famed Cow Palace have also been linked since the grand old building's inception in the 1950s.
Even though the building has become popular for hosting the west coast legs of such legends as Liberace, John F. Kennedy, The Beatles and Elvis Presley, probably the one most consistent mainstay of the building was Roy Shire's National Wrestling Alliance San Francisco territory. Names like Ray Stevens, Pepper Gomez, Pat Patterson, Mr. Fuji, Don Muraco and Dory Funk Jr. would grace these hallowed halls all while being photographed by a young kid fresh out of high school named Jim Fitzpatrick. He'd later find fame in another funky California fad -- the San Francisco Bay Bombers in roller derby.
Luckily for us, Jim has held onto those images and finally releasing them to the good folks at Arena Publishing, Inc. to produce the author's second book When I Shot Good Guys and Bad Guys (Who Wrestled at the Cow Palace).
Like most wrestling photographers Jim Fitzpatrick started off as a fan regularly attending shows at the Cow Palace always equipped with camera in hand. One day, bringing samples of his work with him, he built up enough courage to show the ringside announcer his work, who urged him to contact the company's publicist, and as they say, the rest is history.
Now most fans today are accustomed to the very sleek, sharp, clean images produced by thousand dollar high tech digital cameras that are accompanied with even more thousands of dollars of lighting an flashing rigs -- but it wasn't always that way. What makes one appreciate the gritty photographs in this book even more is that they were taken with a fully manual Pentax camera, a far cry from today's point-and-shoot, idiot-proof cameras. Aside from having to always keep one eye on the action and using a camera like that, you would have to keep the other eye on the focus ring, light meter and shot frame.
With over 100 pages of photos this book is a wonderful collection for any fan of the sport -- or art.
From Battle Royals to Dog Collar matches, Jim was close enough to the action to catch it all. Sometimes he even caught a little too much! "One time I had my mouth wide open and suddenly Don Muraco received a chop from Dean Ho. Spit came flying out of Muraco's mouth and right into mine!" he recalled. With that kind of positioning one can only enjoy the quality of photographs capturing the action and preserving these moments in time.
Highlights of this nostalgic look into the Bay area wrestling scene include photos of aerial shots or mid-flight photos of greats such as Pat Paterson and Mr. Fuji, and a really neat Don Muraco spit shot.
My one and only fault with this book is that the original format of photos were taken in colour but aside from the covers (front and back) all the photos are printed in black and white, probably in an effort to keep the printing costs down.

The judge overseeing the possible remedies in the ebook price fixing case has indicated that she will place a third-party antitrust monitor at Apple. Though her final ruling is expected to be narrower than what the Justice Department desires, Judge Denise Cote said a third-party supervisor will be installed to prevent further violation of antitrust laws. Judge Cote believes that Apple has failed to demonstrate proper remorse for its behavior, according to Reuters:
She said a monitor would be necessary, after Apple had failed to show it learned its lesson from its "blatant" violations of antitrust law.
The DOJ had also wanted Apple's policy of preventing apps from linking directly to external stores revoked, at least in regards to ebooks. But Judge Cote has said that she wants to infringe on how Apple does business as little as possible. A ruling on a injunction is expected next week.
Judge Cote has set a May 2014 date for the damages trial, in which Apple faces a possible penalty hundreds of millions of dollars. Does an external monitor seem fair to you?

Despite the increasing secularization of the Christmas holidays, from xmas trees to frosty snowmen to solstice promotions, one event remains at the core of Christmas celebrations.
Without the birth of the Christ child, there would be no Christmas. There could easily be a Festivus and Winter Carnivals. But would they have the deep spiritual connection with adherents that Christmas does. It's doubtful. I find it hard to get excited about the first day of winter. How about you?
Whether you accept this premise or not, you can understand that for the faithful the power of Christmas emanates from the magic and majesty of the babe's appearance in a humble manger that night.
Little wonder then that the Nativity scene has become such an enduring and beloved symbol of Christmas. How did it all begin? Legend has it that St. Francis conceived the idea of a manger scene to honor the birth of Christ.
Of course, depictions in art of the event go back before the 1200s, when St Francis is said to have first created a nativity scene with animals and people. That was the supposed beginning of a tableau tradition that reached out across the seas, over the centuries and among cultures to appear in Christmas celebrations around the world.
Nativities became integral parts of family celebrations and, indeed, in some ways, part of the family. Manger scenes have different names in different cultures. Creche (
The latter term migrated with the Spanish Catholic missionaries into the American Southwest in the 18th Century, where Native Americans adopting Christian beliefs picked it up. It was used alternatively with the English language word, "Nativity", to refer to displays representing and recreating the event and place of Jesus' birth.
This, in turn, evolved into miniature Nativity sets created by Native American artists. They feature Mary, Joseph and Jesus in the company of beasts, shepherds, wise men and, occasional angels,. These usually are formed in pottery. They take on the style and artistic tradition of the potter's tribal background.
Andrew Rodriquez of Laguna does typically abstract presentations.
Margaret Mirabel and Juanita Martinez of
do more realistic figures.
Gutierrez, Rose Brown, Maxine Naranjo,
adhere to their distinctive clays and slips
of their pueblo.
Annette Romero of Cochiti has her own
unique style.
The potters of Jemez; Sabaquie,
Marie Toya,
create Nativity sets in the common
coloration and clay for which
their pueblo is known.
The Fraguas, Jay, Linda and Felicia,
step out even further, creating Nativity
sets around creatures such as bears and mice.
This is not an act of disrespect, although it may reflect the mixed reverence that Native Americans have in regard to Christianity. It is, more likely, a blending of Native beliefs in nature and a Native sense of humor about the superhuman character of Nativity stories.
In any event, they are unique smile-makers representing an event that is all about joy.
In addition to pottery sets, Native American carvers are creating Nativities from carved materials.
Wilson Romero of Cochiti creates
rough cut Nativity figures from
stone and rocks found on the
ground of his pueblo.
Zuni, Troy Sice, carves Nativity figures
from antler.
Many traditions surround Nativity set displays. Some owners add pieces as the Christmas season progresses, timing the additions to the legendary Christmas calendar. Others reserve Christmas Eve for placing the babe in the scene. Families have been known to collect Nativity sets piece by piece over a number of years. The buyer of a Native American Nativity set, however, gets the entire set in one purchase.
There are protocols associated with the display according to some experts. The typical set has a minimum of five pieces. Included are Mary, Joseph, Jesus and two more animals. The wise men make another three pieces. There can be one or more shepherds in addition to or in the place of the wise men. Sometimes the babe and cradle are one piece. Sometimes they are separate pieces. We have owned and sold Nativity sets with as many as 17 pieces, made up mostly of secondary figures, such as animals.
Positioning the members of the set generally starts with the Christ Child as the centerpiece. Closest to him is Mary, his mother. Joseph is usually placed close to the babe but on the other side from Mary. According to one source, Joseph may also be placed away from Jesus, looking in the opposite direction, representing the aspect of doubt in Christian faith. Secondary figures, such as wise men (kings) and shepherds, should be placed in concentric circles behind the Holy Family, with the shepherds closest because they were on the scene before the arrival of the Wise Men. Animals should be placed near the babe, reflecting the humbleness of his birth. Angels, if included, are usually placed above or behind he Holy Family.
Most of all, the Nativity Set is a personal celebration of the birth of Christ and a reflection of the faith and artistic appreciation of the owners. Display it in your home as you see fit.

I love Caroline. I participate in her webinars. I was a little disappointed to find that this was done quite some time ago. I guess I was looking for more current information. (Posted on September 30, 2014)
Review for The Energetics of Healing Review by Linda Reneau
Entertaining as well as enjoyable. I am more aware of where things "reside" or settle in my energy field and I have a greater understanding of the chakras. (Posted on March 5, 2012)

Very nice & thorough introduction to and overview of the energy systems for a new learner of energy medicine like myself. (Posted on August 2, 2011)
Review for The Energetics of Healing Review by Sharon Kimura
This DVD is best suited to beginners or novices to the 7 chakra view of the energy or subtle body who want basic information on the relationship between the chakras and health. The 2 DVD set is essentially a lecture given by Caroline Myss using the Western device of the 7 chakras and runs about 3 hours. I say Western device, because the exact number of major chakras, the color related to each chakra and the organs/body area related to each chakra differ. The 7 chakra system is a Western convention. The differing number of chakras is understandable if you accept we have energy all around and through our bodies so perhaps what constitutes a major energy center or chakra and what each energy center relates to may produce differences depending on who is doing the evaluation. Plus different people sense energy in various ways. I've read or heard descriptions by clairvoyants who claim to be able to see the chakras/energy around our bodies say there are different colors over/through the chakras and around our bodies and the colors are constantly changing. If we accept their visions then we can only conclude the color associations and numbers are teaching tools and not meant to be taken so literally. Plus there are other energy systems such as the meridians not discussed in this DVD set so it only presents the limited 7 chakra view and the Myss take on it.
The back of the DVD reads "The Energetics of Healing offers a bold new vision of the human body and the unseen obstacles to healing." I didn't see anything new or bold presented. It's the usual mind, body, spirit connection that many people in the healing field speak and write about. And as noted the chakra energy system and ideas Myss is using is based on ancient teachings essentially from India. Some of the best moments are when Myss isn't lecturing, but simply sitting and reflecting. There is no Q&A session with the audience. It's pure Myss lecturing on her view of the chakras and how they relate to health. Along the way she also gives her tips on how to approach your health problems from the mind, body, spirit connection. Included with the 2 DVD set is a booklet summarizing the main points of the lecture. If you've read a book or two on the chakras, you probably already have more knowledge than offered on these DVDs.
