Feel less stress with an organized life with these nine guidelines for removing stress from your everyday life.
Medical Self-Care: How to Feel Less Stress With an Organized Life
We're all subject to the pressures of modern-day living . . . but people who are badly disorganized are likely to impose even more stress upon themselves. And that additional strain can (and almost certainly will) affect their health adversely.
Some lucky souls seem to be naturally organized (and the really lucky ones aren't too organized). But if you feel that you could benefit from a bit more order in your daytoday existence, just make a firm commitment to put the past behind you . . . and use the following tips to guide you toward better organization and less stress.
No. 1: Keep a planning notebook. By maintaining a cumulative master list of jobs that need doing, problems to be solved, and goals you'd someday like to reach — and by adding to the roster whenever an item occurs to you — you'll find yourself focusing on achieving your aims rather than simply on trying to remember what they are.
No. 2: Maintain a daily "to do" list. It's a good idea to start a rough draft of your job catalog the day before the tasks must be done (just write them down as they come to mind). Then, the next morning, read through the docket and mark each item "A" for very important , "B" for important , or "C" for less important . Now, rank the jobs within each of those groups: Label "A" items "A-1", "A-2", "A-3", etc. and do the same with the "B" and "C" categories. Finally, compose a finished draft, listing all entries in descending-priority order.
As you go through your day, try not to give in to the temptation to skip over important tasks to do lesser ones. Stick to your original ratings . . . and attempt to cross out all the entries by the end of the evening.
No. 3: Establish lifetime objectives. For example, ask yourself, "How would I like to spend the next five . . . ten . . . or fifteen years? If I knew I were going to die in six months, what would I want to do between now and then?"
Another technique is to compose a scenario for an ideal day in your life five or ten years hence. Describe where and how you'd be living, and follow your activities from morning through night. Make it a day that you'd find fully satisfying in terms of work and play, friends and family, health and environment.
Once you've given the matter some thought, you should be able to come up with a list of very specific lifetime objectives. Write them down in your planning notebook, and review them from time to time . . . just to keep yourself "on track".
No. 4: Use an appointment calendar . . . and schedule time for self-care . A daybook can be invaluable in helping you to remember meetings and bill payments and the like. But remember, too, to make appointments with yourself — for relaxing, reading, exercising, listening to music, sunbathing, or whatever — and with your family and friends.
Also, try to structure breaks for yourself during working hours. Obviously, this won't be as easy for some as it will for others (depending on the particular job), but you should at least try to give yourself a real lunch hour and — if possible — set aside one or two brief rest periods in which you can take a walk or perhaps phone a friend. Do your best to quit working at a fixed time each day, too . . . most people are more productive when they know they have only so many hours (rather than "all night") to get the jobs done.
No. 5: Establish a regular planning time. Once a day (morning seems to be best for most people), sit down and review your cumulative list of comments and tasks. Complete your "to do" roster . . . and if you've written down a problem that needs solving, try to develop a plan of action.
Once a week or so, you'll want to hold a long-range planning session. Attempt to look at least several months ahead, to get a better idea of what you'll be doing then . . . and to determine whether you need to be making preparations now.
No. 6: Examine how you use your days. I guarantee that if you keep a detailed time log over a period of three days — that is, if you write down precisely how you've spent those minutes and hours — you'll be surprised at the results.
Most people find that they spend only one-third to one-half as much time on productive projects as they thought. And once you're aware that you're wasting much of your day, you can make a conscious effort to avoid all the sidetracks that rob you of quality time . . . and to match your tasks — easy and difficult — with periods of typically high and low energy.
No. 7: Don't let "impossible" problems intimidate you. There's simply no such thing as a dilemma so complex that it can't be solved. The secret is to break big problems down into smaller, more manageable units . . . and then tackle one component task at a time.
Unfortunately, when most people are confronted with a quandry of seemingly insurmountable proportions, they tend to shy away from the difficulty altogether. And as many of us have found out the hard way, the longer we neglect problems, the larger they're likely to grow.
No. 8: Learn to unload unnecessary tasks . . . and to say no. Chances are you're being robbed of at least some time every day . . . either by others, or by your own inclination to do things that you don't need to do or that you're making more work of than necessary.
The next time you review each entry in your notebook's "problems and tasks" list, ask yourself, "Would there be any serious consequences if I didn't do this?" If your answer is no, cross the job off!
When you do undertake a task, try your best to complete it . . . don't leave more work for yourself to do later. (Many people have a hard time tackling mail and paper work, for example. Instead of immediately responding to each piece in turn, they tend to shuffle the work around . . . and usually end up with a kind of perpetual "to do soon" pile.)
Finally, teach yourself to say no to people who ask you to do things you don't want or need to do. Many of us find it difficult to refuse a request or an invitation . . . but remember, it's your time. Saying no doesn't make you a "mean" person . . . it can, rather, show that you're an honest individual in control of your own life.
No. 9: Don't hesitate to ask for help. You're not alone in this world. When you're up to your ears in work, there's no reason why you shouldn't request a little assistance.
If you're having trouble getting your finances in order, for instance, ask a friend who's good with numbers to come to your rescue . . . and offer to return the favor in some way.
Of course, you must remember that the concept of helping works both ways, so look for — and welcome — opportunities to be of use to those around you. When you do, you'll find that a little cooperative giving and taking among neighbors and friends makes life not only simpler, but more fulfilling and satisfying as well.
I think you can see from the guidelines I've listed that eliminating the stress caused by an unnecessarily complicated life is frequently only a matter of exercising common sense and a few simple techniques.
In fact, there may be no such thing as an inherently orderly person. As far as I've observed, "well-organized" people are really just slobs with a system!
EDITOR'S NOTE: There are many helpful books available on this subject, and here are a few that Dr. Ferguson recommends. Getting Organized by Stephanie Winston (Warner Books, 1980, $5.95) is an excellent volume on household management. If you want assistance in focusing on lifetime goals, you'll find invaluable advice in How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life by Alan Lakein (Signet, 1974, $2.50). And Tony and Robbie Fanning's Get It All Done and Still Be Human (Chilton, 1979, $8.95) details a refreshingly free-spirited approach to personal organization.
Dr. Tom Ferguson's quarterly journal, Medical Self-Care, is available for $15 per year from Medical Self-Care, Dept. TMEN, Inverness, California. A sample issue costs $4.00. Dr. Ferguson's book, also titled Medical Self-Care, can be ordered — for $8.95 plus 95¢ shipping and handling — from Mother's Bookshelf® Hendersonville, North Carolina.

The guarantees came in the form of a letter received by Mohamed Fahmy's family on Sunday — a day before his trial was set to resume in Cairo.
"I want to reaffirm in this regard the independence of the Egyptian judiciary and my confidence that your son will get all his legal rights," wrote President Adly Mansour.
"This will not stop me from exerting every effort necessary and possible to reach a fast resolution to this case, that guarantees justice in line with the law."
The letter was preceded by a hospital visit Fahmy was allowed on Saturday for a badly injured shoulder, a move which itself was triggered by a call three days earlier from the office of the president.
Fahmy's family expressed cautious optimism at the weekend's developments.
"It's a good indication that there's attention given to the case by the president," Fahmy's brother Adel told The Canadian Press from Cairo.
"There's some sympathy and empathy as well. So it's good."
Fahmy, Australian Peter Greste and Egyptian Baher Mohamed were arrested on Dec. 29 while working for satellite news broadcaster Al-Jazeera English.
They are being tried as part of a group of 20 individuals who authorities say worked for the Al Jazeera network and allegedly threatened national security. At least 12 of those charged are being tried in abstentia.
Authorities accuse Al-Jazeera of being a platform for ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi's supporters and his Muslim Brotherhood group. The network denies that and says the journalists were just doing their jobs.
Fahmy and his two co-workers have pleaded not guilty at their trial, which marks the first time Egypt has prosecuted journalists on terrorism-related charges.
Their case — being heard amidst an extensive crackdown on some secular dissidents and Brotherhood supporters — will be back in a Cairo court on Monday, where Fahmy's family hopes progress will be made.
"It's a matter of convincing the judge that these people are obviously innocent," said Fahmy's brother. "They're objective journalists they have nothing to do with terrorism or terrorist groups."
Monday's session is expected to deal with the contents of equipment seized from the three journalists, which forms a key part of the case, Fahmy's brother said.
Security officials have accused the journalists of having unlicensed equipment and setting up a media centre for the Brotherhood. They're also accused of fabricating footage to show the country in a state of civil strife, harming its reputation.
The court proceeding will come after Fahmy was taken to a civilian hospital under heavy guard this weekend for an MRI and a CT scan on a shoulder he fractured before his arrest.
His family said the injury has grown worse after he was forced to sleep on a hard prison floor and wasn't allowed adequate medical attention for weeks.
"Finally, finally a proper step was taken in the direction of his treatment," said Fahmy's brother. "He's very worried about his arm because it's a substantial injury and the range of motion is very restricted. He can only lift it about 20 degrees."
While the hospital visit was a positive development, the larger ongoing concern for Fahmy remains his legal case.
"He's really hoping that this crisis will end soon because it's really taking its toll, they're now approaching three months in such harsh conditions," said Fahmy's brother. "He wants an expedited trial. That's his key concern."
The Department of Foreign Affairs has said senior Canadian officials have raised Fahmy's case with Egyptian authorities and have requested a fair and expeditious trial.
Fahmy's family has also noted that while consular staff in Cairo have been "very supportive," officials have indicated that Fahmy's dual citizenship limits how much they can do.
Fahmy's family moved to Canada in 1991. He lived in Montreal and Vancouver for years before eventually moving abroad for work, which included covering stories for the New York Times and CNN.
His parents, who are still based in Montreal, travelled to Cairo days after his arrest and have been there ever since.

Surfing America Prime presented by Got Milk?
Del Mar Beach, Camp Pendleton
April 28 & 29, 2012
After a week of meager slop for surf and gray drizzly days, the sun and surf that greeted the final West Coast stop of the season was a welcome sight. A peaky combo swell prevailed on Saturday with light offshore winds. The girls started things out with some impressive surfing. The Girls U16 final had Frankie Harrer and Kulia Doherty battling it out for Girls U16 season champion title. For Frankie to win the season title, she needed the win this event and Kulia needed to come in 3rd or worse. That is exactly how it ended up and Frankie took the win and the title. Meah Collins finished 2nd and Malia Osterkamp closed out the season with a 4th place finish—her first Surfing America Prime final!
In Girls U18 Kulia Doherty had the season title in the bag regardless of how she did in this event. Even so, she ended up with an impressive 2nd place finish. The story of the division was Lulu Erkeneff, always the bridesmaid and never the bride in these events. She took off on a set left and slammed the lip then airdropped into the trough, regained her composure, and powered off the bottom again for another big hit. The wave earned her a 5.83 out of 10. With that wave and a 3.5 back up, Lulu took her first win in the series.
As lunchtime rolled around, TransWorld SURF was manning the grill, cooking up some delicious Farmer John All Beef Franks for the throngs of hungry competitors.
In Boys U16 Kanoa Igarashi, Nic Hdez, Griffin Colapinto and Jake Marshall were hot after the ISA World Junior Surfing Championships in Panama where they helped earn a Copper Medal for the USA Surf Team. Kanoa was definitely in rhythm with 7.07 and 6.33 and wave scores for the win 4.6 points ahead of 2nd place Nic Hdez. Griffin Colapinto surfed sharp all day, but seemed to lose steam in the final as did double finalist Jake Marshall. In the Boys U14 final, Jake dug deep and found the energy to take the win, followed by John Mel in 2nd, Ryland Ruben in 3rd and Micky Clarke in 4th. Kanoa Igarashi edged out Jake Davis for the season champion title in Boys U16 and Griffin Colapinto held on as season champion in Boys U14 despite not making that final in this event.
The Boys U18 final was a slow affair. Waves with scoring potential were few and far between, but Kevin Schulz seemed to be able to tap into the best waves that came through. His 6.17 and 5.83 were the two highest scores of the heat. Jake Davis managed to find a 4.33 and 3.07 for 2nd and his PacSun USA Surf Team mates Taylor Clark and Trevor Thornton came up empty and finished 3rd and 4th. Taylor still managed to maintain his lead in the ratings and took home the season champion title. An elated Kevin Schulz took the win, his first in Surfing America Prime, and was chaired up the beach by his friends.
Next up is the Surfing America Prime East Coast final event at Nags Head, NC, on May 19th and 20th. Then it's on to the Surfing America USA Championships at Huntington Beach Pier, June 16–18 and Lower Trestles June 19–23.

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: In the 1916 Deerfield, Massachusetts Pageant, the organizers wanted to represent the frivolity prevalent in the high society of England when the "Pilgrim forefathers" left England. An elaborate dress "revel" was created, set at the Pleasure Grounds at Shoreditch on the outskirts of London, where Richard Burbage's playhouse, "The Theater," was located. During this, dancers from a number of groups - "jesters, tumblers, shepherds, Morris dancers, rustic players, grand ladies," in the words of the pageant program - met and danced. This photograph was taken of two of them: to the left is a lady Morris dancer, and to the right, a jester. During these revels, two Puritans come to watch and comment, and soon after they are shown leading their group to Holland. These Puritans were known as Separatists. They chose to leave England to insulate their followers from what they saw as the taint of modern civilization in 1609. By 1620, frustrated mainly by the embrace of their children of secular Dutch culture, they had decided to emigrate to Virginia aboard the ships Mayflower and Speedwell. (Of course, they never arrived in Virginia, having been blown off-course to New England.)

Full Length Mirrors in Rockwall, TX
Looking to create a great exercise room or dance studio? Full length wall mirrors can punctuate a space and make a small area feel larger. We offer wall mirrors(and optional installation) to fit walls of any specifications.
Full length mirrors can be installed using mastic or hardware or both. When mirror mastic is used, the mirror is attached directly to the wall. It can also be supported on a metal strip to achieve the desired look. J-Channel has a profile shaped like the letter J (minus the line across the top). Due to its shape, it wraps around the front of the mirror and is visible as a thin metal strip along the bottom of the mirror. L-Bar offers a more frameless look; since it is shaped like a capital L, no metal is visible on the front of the mirror. Both of these provide the strength and support to safely carry the weight of the mirror glass.

Going into their fourth Grand Slam final after a 22-20, 21-19 win over American 11th seeds Jake Gibb/ Sean Rosenthal in the semifinals, the Dutch duo finally struck gold, overcoming their Italian opponents 21-11, 21-16 in 31 minutes.
The pair earned $43,000 for the win.
"We are really happy to win our first Grand Slam title; it's very important for us because it's an Olympic year and we want to be ready for London," said Schuil. "It's really the first step and it's good preparation for the Olympic Games, because there were so many good teams playing here."
With Nicolai obviously affected by an injury to his stomach muscle, the Italians dropped the first set easily. In the second, they stayed close to 5-4, but the Dutch side steadily pulled away to secure their eighth title together on the FIVB Beach Volleyball SWATCH World Tour.
"The Italian was a little bit injured, we saw that, but we were also nervous, because we'd never won a Grand Slam and we wanted to play well," Schuil added. "So, we are really happy to win. In the whole tournament we played very well. The final wasn't the best, but good enough."
Schuil also received the Red Bull MVP award for the final. "I am really happy to get this award; my partner had it for the semifinal. In the final, I think my partner played better than me, but he had already got it. I hope I'll win more in the future."
Nicolai/Lupo still made history despite the loss as they captured the first Grand Slam silver for Italian men. And for the first time in FIVB history, the FIVB SWATCH World Tour had both a men's and women's team from Italy in the final four and the gold medal match. In the women's action that concluded on Saturday, Greta Cicolari/ Marta Menegatti finished runners-up to Larissa Franca/ Juliana Felisberta of Brazil.
Having eliminated Beijing Olympic champions Todd Rogers/ Philip Dalhausser of the United States earlier in the tournament, Nicolai/Lupo produced another major upset as they trounced reigning world champions Alison Cerutti/Emanuel Rego of Brazil 21-16, 21-13 in 31 minutes to secure their first appearance in any FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour final. The Italian duo snapped a four-match losing streak against Alison/ Emanuel.
"I don't know (how we made it); it's incredible, because in one tournament we beat Rogers/Dalhausser and Emanuel/ Alison, maybe the best teams in the world," said Nicolai. "Emanuel, Rogers, Dalhausser are like my heroes. I couldn't imagine that one day I could beat these players. It's a fantastic moment for us. When you play a team like Emanuel/Alison, you just have to play 100 perfect and maybe we did that today."
Playing shoulder to shoulder for the second season, the 23-year-old Nicolai and 21-year-old Lupo believe that the Chinese capital is the lucky place for them. "It's our first final; we can't forget this moment and we can't forget Beijing," said Nicolai.
"The Italian team played their best this morning in the semifinal; they played a very consistent game," said Emanuel. "We tried to change strategy during the match, but it was impossible to stop them. They were playing at a very high level at that moment."
Fifth-seeded Alison/Emanuel recovered to beat Gibb/Rosenthal 21-13, 21-16 for the bronze medal.
"Alison and me are very happy to win the bronze medal here in Beijing. We are still counting points for the seeding of the London Olympic Games, so I'm very happy with third place," said the 39-year-old Emanuel, who won a gold in Athens in 2004 and a bronze at Beijing in 2008, both with Ricardo Santos. He's now looking forward to his fifth Olympic journey.
"Every time, I get more excited and more emotional because when you work hard for three years to get to the Olympic Games, you need to be very satisfied with your game," he said.
After a break of one week, the 2012 FIVB Beach Volleyball SWATCH World Tour will continue in the Czech Republic with the men's Prague Open.

European equities touched fresh multi-month peaks on Monday, with technical charts pointing to a continued slow grind higher backed by tentative signs of improvement in the global economy and corporate earnings.
The Euro STOXX 50 provisionally closed 0.1 percent higher at 2,746.22 points, setting fresh 18-month peaks in the wake of stronger-than-expected U.S. durable goods orders showing firms in the world's biggest economy had stepped up spending. Durable goods orders jumped 4.6 percent in December, higher than the expected 1.8 percent rise.
The daily moves on the euro zone blue-chip index have averaged less than 10 points since Jan. 3, less than half of the usual size for 2012.
"It's not the top [of the market] but it's not going to accelerate, it's a slow market and you just have to be patient," said Valerie Gastaldy, analyst at Day By Day.
"As long as we are above [technical support at[ 2,723 we can aim for 2,790. We are not that overbought because we've been very, very slow."
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 Index was down 0.1 percent at 1,173.77 points after touching a two-year intra-day peak of 1,176.19 plans.
The travel and leisure sector was one drag on the pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 Index, led lower by budget airlines Ryanair and easyJet, which retreated after a recent surge.
Ryanair shed 1.5 percent after it reported strong growth in European fares in the fourth quarter but warned of marginal passenger growth in 2013, capped by a slow-down in plane deliveries.
EasyJet fell 1.8 percent on news of the departure of chairman Mike Rake, who has endured a strained relationship with majority shareholder Stelios Haji-Ioannou.
Banks rallied further after Friday's announcement that lenders made hefty early repayments of emergency funding from the European Central Bank, a sign at least parts of the financial system are returning to health.

With JavaScript seemingly conquering the world, it's no surprise a whole host of associated technologies are also on the rise, from Node.js to a slew of new languages that compile to JavaScript.
In one form or another, these new languages, including TypeScript, CoffeeScript, ClojureScript, and Google's Dart, all have as one of their stated goals making it easier to write JavaScript applications. But there's a growing list of reasons why such languages are shaping up to be short-term, transitional technologies and not a long-term bet like JavaScript itself.
1. Writing code directly in JavaScript will get you far more of an audience
If you write unambiguous JavaScript code, it stands a far better change of being adopted broadly. Write using one of the intermediate languages, and you'll end up mostly targeting the audience for those intermediates -- for which there isn't nearly as big a base of users (unless targeting those users is your intention, of course).
Also, writing directly in JavaScript means you stand a better chance of being appreciated by people just coming into the language. The vast majority of resources for learning, writing, debugging, and implementing JavaScript all focus on the core language and not one of its intermediate targets. This isn't to say that such things don't exist -- for example, books on CoffeeScript -- but only that they're in the deep minority.
2. The intermediates aren't that popular to begin with
The intermediate languages are appreciated and used in certain circles, but they've had a tough time getting any traction outside of that. A recent survey of JavaScript developers showed that a minority -- 22 percent -- of those surveyed do development in languages that compile to JavaScript. CoffeeScript, by the way, was the most popular of the bunch by a wide margin (85 percent), but it still ranks as an edge case rather than a mainstream item like jQuery.
A wider survey of developers showed an even greater disparity between JavaScript as a whole and those other languages. JavaScript has remained within the top 10 languages used overall, while CoffeeScript and the rest aren't even in the top 100.
3. Next iteration of JavaScript aims to provide many features offered by intermediates
Developer Matt Greer noted this in a recent blog post: Many functions found in CoffeeScript, like arrow functions or object literal shorthands, are planned for the next release of JavaScript. It's easy to forget that JavaScript is itself ever evolving.
4. Third-party JavaScript libraries can add much of the missing functionality
The wealth of third-party libraries written for JavaScript have gone a long way toward extending the language's functionality and even extending its syntax. jQuery is a classic example: It's used broadly, it's battle-tested, and it adds a great deal of flexibility to the way things can be identified and manipulated through the language. Plenty of other such libraries are also surfacing -- such as Args.js, a way to add support for optional and default function parameters. If this sort of native extension to JavaScript is available, then there isn't as much need to switch to a whole new language to employ it.
Granted, if a given programmer is comfortable and happy with CoffeeScript or any of the other intermediate languages, that's more than enough reason to stick with it. But the future of JavaScript as a whole -- its evolution as a language and the ecosystem around it -- all but guarantees such measures won't be as vital to making the most of JavaScript as they might once have been.

: For a list of resources on betavoltaics that harness electrons given off in radioactive decay, see Directory:BetaVoltaics
Betavoltaics is an alternative energy technology that promises vastly extended Battery life and power density over current technologies. Betavoltaics are generators of electrical current, in effect a form of battery, which use energy from a radioactive source emitting beta particles (electrons). The functioning of a betavoltaic device is somewhat similar to a solar panel, which converts photons (light) into electric current. This type of Radioactive battery (or Nuclear battery) operate on the continuous radioactive decay of certain elements. These theoretical batteries last a long time.
Betavoltaics were invented over 50 years ago. Betavoltaic power cells are sometimes referred to as betavoltaic batteries, atomic batteries, nuclear batteries, nuclear micro-power sources / devices, or stimulated / accelerated isotope decay power cells. They are sometimes described with the prefix "long-lived" since theoretically they can last as much as 20 years or more.
They have been developed since the 1950's. They were initially desgined to meet the high-voltage, high-current draw requirements of electrically powered space probes and satellites. (For example, the Army Research Lab did betavoltaic testing in 1954 using dissimilar metals. In one device not much larger than a car battery they were successful in achieving a 70 watt output for a short time). As early as 1973, betavoltaics were suggested for use in long-term medical devices such as pacemakers.
The modern Betavoltaic power cell's standard operating voltage is between 100kV and 1.5 million kV in potential, however they are capable of being adapted for lower voltage power requirements. In 2005 a new betavoltaic device using porous silicon diodes was proposed to increase their efficiency. This increase in efficiency is largely due to the larger surface area of the capture material. The porous silicon allows the tritium gas to penetrate into many pits and pores, greatly increasing the effective surface area of the device.
A betavoltaic power cell is composed of semiconductors and at least mildly radioactive material.As the radioactive isotope decays, it emits beta particles (electrons). Betavoltaic devices are not "free energy" or over-unity devices. Defintions to remember in discussion of thier operation include:
Beta: meaning beta-electron, highly energetic electrons / positrons ejected during the decay of a neutron into a proton.
Voltaic: pertaining to or producing electric current.
Betavoltaic: producing / extracting electricity from radioactive decay.
Betavoltaic power cell / battery: a device that captures beta-electrons emitted by a decaying radio-isotope for the purpose of producing useable electric power.
In a betavoltaic, when an electron strikes a particular interface between two layers of material (a p-n junction), a current is generated. Whether betavoltaics will replace current battery technologies altogether remains to be seen. Recent developments however, are promising. The following is meant to provide a basic introduction to betavoltaics in general and the current state of the art in betavoltaic technology. A common source used in betavoltaicsis the hydrogen isotope, tritium. Unlike most nuclear power sources, which use nuclear radiation to generate heat, which then generates electricity (thermoelectric and thermionic sources), betavoltaics use a non-thermal conversion process.
Betavoltaic devices use radioactive isotopes as their source of fuel, that is why they are sometimes called radioactive batteries. Betavoltaic devices are not nuclear reactors in the traditional sense. Unlike typical nuclear power generating devices, betavoltaic power cells do not rely on a nuclear reaction (fission / fusion) or chemical processes (as in most batteries) and do not produce radioactive waste products. The atomic nuclei (protons and neutrons,) is not split apart or fused with other nuclei. Rather, this process takes advantage of beta (electron) emissions that occur when a neutron decays into a proton. Internally, the impact of the beta electron on the P/N junction material causes a forward bias in the semiconductor. This makes the betavoltaic cell a forward bias diode of sorts, similar in some respects to a photovoltaic (solar) cell. Electrons scatter out of their normal orbits in the semiconductor and into the circuit creating a useable electric current. (Ed. a simple simple-beta gif image is availble.)
Although betavoltaics use a radioactive material as a power source, it is important to note that beta particles are low energy and easily stopped by shielding, as compared to the gamma rays generated by more dangerous radioactive materials. With proper device construction (i.e.: shielding), a betavoltaic device would not emit any dangerous radiation. Leakage of the enclosed material would of course engender health risks, just as leakage of the materials in other types of batteries lead to significant health and environmental concerns.
The theory behind betavoltaic devices are relativistic in nature: protons and neutrons are essentially highly compressed and more or less stable forms of energy (E=MC2). The decay of a neutron into a proton releases large amounts of electrical energy. Neutron beta-decay into protons is said to be the world's most concentrated source of electricity.
Several limitations can inhibit the efficiency of betavoltaic power cells. One limitation of betavoltaic power cells is the re-absorption of electrons in the radioactive source itself. In order to reduce the self-absorption of beta energy, the radioactive isotope must be incorporated into the lattice of a semiconductor.
Another limitation is that the highly energetic electrons tend to wear down or break apart the internal components (semiconductors) of the power cell. Betavoltaic devices suffer internal damage to their components as a result of the energetic electrons. Additionally, as the radioactive material emits, it slowly decreases in activity (refer to half-life). Thus, over time a betavoltaic device will output less and less power. This decrease occurs over a period of many years.
In device design, one must account for what battery characteristics are required at end-of-life, and insure that the beginning-of-life properties take into account the desired useable lifetime. Much of the betavoltaic research conducted over the years has been in identifying more durable semiconductors for power cell applications. Materials research in long lasting semiconductors which can take the punishment of long term exposure to beta-electron impact has been conducted by Sandia National Labs of NM in partnership with the University of New Mexico. One promising material is called Icosahedral Boride. This is a very hard semiconductor material which may lead to a technology for direct conversion of the beta electron energy into electric current. The unique structure of these semiconductors allows for the design of safe, high-output devices.
The isotopes used in stimulated decay betavoltaic devices are electronically pumped. They are inert when the cell runs out of power. This eliminates the possibility of toxic or radioactive waste. A thick epoxy shield prevents the chemical components of these cells from leaking out and entering the environment. Also potentially useful in sheilding these devices are a new class of metals called "liquid metals": metals with amorphous (as opposed to crystalline) structures. The long life-span of these devices (as much as 10 to 30 years of continuous use,) means that many fewer of them need to be sold than regular batteries thus helping to minimize environmental impact.
Thin-film tritiated amorphous silicon cells have been built. These cells are often called tritium batteries. Tritium batteries are cheap, long-life, high energy density, low-power batteries. They have a specific power of 24 watts per kilogram, a full load operating life of 10 years, and an overall efficiency on the order of 25%. Tritium is readily substituted for the hydrogen present in hydrogenated amorphous semiconductors. Tritiated amophous films are mechanically stable, free from flaking or blistering, with good adherence to the substrate and may be simultaneously deposited onto both conducting and insulating substrates. The deposition technique is a discharge in tritium plasma. The silicon layer sputtered in a tritium / argon ambient environment at temperatures below 300'C results in a tritiated amorphous silicon film with the tritium concentration varying from 5 to 30% depending upon deposition conditions. Tritium however, is typically only produced inside traditional nuclear (fission) reactors. Radioisotopes other than tritium, may also be used as a source of energetic electrons such as krypton-85 for example.
One new development in betavoltaic technology are the attempts at controlling output by artificially stimulating / accelerating the natural beta-decay rates of various materials. This stimulation is usually electro-magnetic and / or acoustic in nature. A common misconception is that electro-magnetic stimulation of atomic nuclei is impossible given that the nucleus is highly resistant to electron bombardment. Electrons are typically repelled by the nucleus. Rather than enter the nucleus, they instead tend to orbit in cloud-like formations. When electrons are expelled from the nucleus during beta decay, they are expelled violently with extremely high velocities, (hence the term "high energy electron" or "beta-particle".) However, the methods typically used in beta decay stimulation / acceleration involve so-called "standing wave" technology (also called "longitudinal" or "scalar waves". See also "scalar interferometry".)
Some promising fuel sources for stimulated beta-decay include:
These isotopes have a decay rate of many thousands of years. For this reason they are not regulated by the United States government as are many more energetically radioactive materials (those with short half-lives, that is: rapid decay rates). These isotopes have been found to have significent beta decay energy. Many of these are light metals and can be inexpensively plated.
The primary use for betavoltaics is for remote and long-term use, such as application requiring electrical power for a decade or two. The recent progress in technology has prompted some to suggest using betavoltaics to trickle-charge conventional batteries in consumer devices, such as cell phones and laptop computers. Betavoltaic applications include:
Aerospace: satellite and other unmanned vehicle power supplies.
Power industry: power sources, backup power sources, and remediation of radioactive waste through artificial acceleration of natural isotopic decay rates.
Bio-technology: long lasting electrically powered implants.
Counter-terrorism: radioisotope detection sensors for nuclear and / or radiological (so-called "dirty bomb") devices.
Although consumer applications are being developed, it is uncertain whether consumers will be willing to adopt "personal nuclear technology" given the pervasive negative sentiment toward nuclear power in general as inherently unsafe.
Betavoltaic technology is the science of deriving useful electrical power from the beta decay of certain radioactive isotopes. There are inherent theoretical limits to the efficiency and output of betavoltaic devices, however their output even at low efficiencies can be quite significant. Betavoltaic technology has a fairly long history (50 years or more,) but has benefitted significantly from recent breakthroughs in materials science, nanotechnology and quantum electrodynamics. Betavoltaic technology holds particular promise for the aerospace, security, and power industries. The environmental impact of this technology appears minimal especially when compared with current battery technology.

Helmsley was right about who pays taxes
Most of us would love to be Warren Buffet, or at least have even a tiny fraction of his estimated $50 billion-plus net worth - especially tomorrow, April 15, when, as the business magnate/investor/philanthropist often has stated, he will be required to pay proportionally lower taxes than the secretary he employs.
Mr. Buffett, chairman, CEO and largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway and consistently ranked among the world's wealthiest people, at least is up front about the inequities of the federal tax code, and has lobbied Congress (unsuccessfully) to change the laws so that the rich pay their fair share.
He also has recruited a number of other uber-wealthy individuals in his campaign, including Microsoft's Bill Gates, persuading them to pledge that major chunks of their largesse be donated to charity.
But Mr. Buffett, known as the Wizard of Omaha, is not stupid. He may decry loopholes that allow him and fellow billionaires to dodge most if not all of their taxes, but he continues to take advantage of them, as Allan Sloan, Fortune magazine's senior editor at large, reports.
"The deal involves Don Graham's Graham Holdings (formerly The Washington Post Co.) and Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, which are doing what's known in the tax biz as a cash-rich split-off. It's a way that companies can dispose of holdings on which they have big gains and emerge with cash without technically selling anything, thus incurring no tax bill. Doesn't that sound like fun?" he writes.
Mr. Sloan, who discloses that he owns shares in both companies and is a pensioner of Graham, adds, "Because cash-rich split-offs are specifically allowed by the Internal Revenue Code, Graham Holdings and Berkshire Hathaway aren't pushing boundaries; they're using something that Congress has specifically allowed. It's absurd, but it's permissible under the tax-code provisions that govern corporate spinoffs, such as the imminent non-game-playing separation of my employer, Time, from Time Warner."
The result: both companies stand to save a total of about $675 million in federal and state income taxes by going the cash-rich split-off route.
It certainly helps if you can afford not just to pay the taxes but to hire a team of lawyers and lobbyists devoted to devising, enacting and protecting legislation designed to keep the Warren Buffets of the world from involuntarily parting with their riches.
Over the years there have been any number of schemes they have taken and continue to take advantage of.
One notable example is the fact that no income means no tax. The super-wealthy structure their compensations so that they receive relatively modest salaries, but extraordinarily generous rewards in the form of real estate holdings and stock shares that aren't taxed until sold - if ever.
Confounding the adage, "Nothing is true except death and taxes," billionaires can also bequeath such holdings to spouses.
And anybody who spends even a few minutes scanning the federal tax code can find numerous laws that somehow find their ways onto the books, such as a "Cash for Clubbers" scam outlined by the Wall Street Journal in which a law to promote the development of electric cars qualified some golf carts for a federal tax credit of up to $6,500.
Such loopholes, deductions, credits and offshore tax devices allow many rich Americans and corporations to avoid paying most if not all of their taxes. As one publication noted, "between 2008 and 2011, 26 major American corporations paid nothing in federal corporate income tax, despite making $205 billion in pretax profits. In 2011 (the last year in which data is available), corporations paid just a 12.1 percent effective tax rate, the lowest in four decades. Many wealthy individuals, meanwhile, are able to drive their tax rates down below the rate paid by middle-class families. Some drive it all the way down to zero."
The late real estate magnate Leona Helmsley, whose family once owned the Empire State Building and who eventually served 19 months in prison for federal income tax invasion, perhaps said it best: "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes."

TIGERVILLE, S.C. - A 3-point basket by Georgia Southwestern junior Kevin Burnell with 25 seconds remaining proved to be the difference in a thrilling 68-67 victory in the Hurricanes season opener against North Greenville on Friday evening in Hayes Gymnasium.
The GSW defense held off North Greenville in the closing seconds as Patrick George missed a shot for the Crusaders with three seconds left on the clock.
It was a close game throughout as there were 16 lead changes in the game and neither side led by more than seven points.
After falling behind 10-7 to open the game, GSW went on a 10-0 run to take the largest lead of the night by either side, 17-10, with 13:18 left in the first half.
North Greenville answered with a 16-4 run of its own to regain momentum with six minutes until the break.
In the back-and-forth affair, it was only fitting that the Hurricanes responded with a 9-0 run to pull ahead, 30-26. A 3-pointer by senior Jamon Hawkins sparked the GSW run and another Hawkins 3-point basket allowed the Hurricanes to take a one-point lead into the halftime break (33-32).
Neither team was able to gain much of an edge over the opening nine-plus minutes of the second half as three points was the largest margin until Micah Parker dropped a jumper to put North Greenville ahead by five (50-45) with 10:36 to go.
Once again, the Hurricanes answered with a run. This time an 11-0 rally put GSW ahead by six points with 7:45 remaining.
The Crusaders would not go away, however, and after reeling off a 13-1 run of their own, North Greenville had its biggest lead of the night, 63-57, with 3:46 on the clock.
Trailing by four points with 1:38 left, GSW forced a North Greenville turnover and Hawkins came down and drained a quick 3-pointer to set up the Burnell heroics.
The two sides nearly mirrored each other in terms of shooting as GSW finished 43.5 percent (27 of 62) from the floor and 22.7 percent (5 of 22) from beyond the arc and North Greenville shot 44.3 percent (27 of 61) overall 27.3 (3 of 11) from 3-point range.
GSW held the advantage in points off turnovers (24-18) and bench points (20-13).
Southwestern had four players score in double figures as senior Alan Arnett led with 15 points. Newcomer Johathan Brooks posted a double-double in his debut with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Fellow newcomer Darius Redding shot 4 of 5 from the floor en route to his 11 points and Hawkins finished with 11.
Fittingly, North Greenville also had four players score in double figures. Chris Dean had a game-high 16 points and Phillip Brown added a double-double with 15 points and a game-high 14 boards.
The Hurricanes wrap up play at the Conference Carolinas/Peach Belt Conference Challenge on Saturday in an inaugural meeting with Erskine College at 5:30 p.m.

"Robot and Frank" may be the first buddy movie between a robot and a senior citizen.
Frank (Frank Langella) has increasing memory lapses, and his son (James Marsden) is worn out driving hundreds of miles each week to clean up after him. He buys his dad an expensive robot that can cook, clean, shop and keep Frank healthier.
Frank wants none of it. He hurls quiet insults at Robot (who resembles a storm trooper from "Star Wars") until he realizes it's perfect for helping Frank with certain "hobbies."
Susan Sarandon is lovely as the town librarian, and Peter Sarsgaard's clear voice gives Robot a human presence.
Langella is an elegant actor who's played everything from Dracula to Richard Nixon. Subtle but affecting through a mess of complex emotions, he deserves some Oscar attention — and yours.
Stolen identity hurts family
"The Imposter" is a gripping documentary about a Frenchman who impersonates a 16-year old Texas boy, last seen at the age of 13, and joins the family when he is "found" in Spain.
As unemotional as a robot, Frederic Bourdin coolly shares how he came to assume the identity of Nicholas Barclay. His actions are astounding, even after he is caught.
The Barclays recount their heartbreak over the missing Nicholas, their joy at being reunited, and shock at learning Frederic's identity. It's a tense, jaw-dropping film that is truly stranger than fiction. Don't miss it.
Don't let updated 'Smokey' speed past you
"Smokey and the Bandit" was a low brow car chase movie of 1977. Burt Reynolds and Sally Field were cast as a couple on the lam. They were pursued by a comical sheriff played by Jackie Gleason. There was enough humor in the silly PG story to make it very successful at the box office.
"Hit and Run" is a modern day R-rated version of this formula. It has a similar plot but adds bad language, sex and violence to the recipe. Dax Shepard is the bad boy on the run. Kristen Bell is the hot babe along for the crazy ride. Tom Arnold is the main cop in pursuit of the troubled duo. Gangsters with their own agenda are also after them, adding twists and turns to the story.
The complications of the chase produce several good laughs. There's also a long running gay guy subplot that's very funny but might offend some viewers. Overall, "Hit and Run" is still obvious B-movie material. It's not as silly as the original but it hits the comedy mark with equally low brow intent.

In Search of the Bene Israel by Sadia Shepard is a moving and compelling documentary about the 2000 year old Jewish community of the Mumbai region. The film-maker is a descendant of this community and she shares the story of the BeneIsrael and of her beloved grandmother very tenderly and thoughtfully with us, the lucky viewers.
Her Jewish grandmother eloped as a young person with a Muslim man, they moved to Pakistan and then to the US where eventually, the film-maker was born. SadiaShepard returned to spend a full year working with the remaining Jewish community in and around Mumbai. The majority of this community has emigrated and now lives in Israel.
Also, the Bene Israel say that they have never experienced anti-Semitism in their 2000 years in India, -what a wonderful heritage. They clearly love India deeply but want more economic opportunity and to stem the tide of assimilation.
The documentary explores the myths, history and current reality of this fascinating community.
We saw this in a screening at the Walter Reade Theatre as part of the Jewish Film Festival and this film will be screened again at the 13th Annual Sephardic Film Festival at the Center for Jewish History. It is a marvelous film not to be missed.
See the post below this for more details about the 13th Sephardic Film Festival.
At the same afternoon screening, we travelled from crowded Mumbai of the Bene Israel, and a community in the midst of emigrating to Israel, into the lush Amazon rainforest in Peru in The Fire Within: Jews in the Amazonian Rainforest by Lorry Salcedo Mitrani. This film is about a community of Jews from the Amazon who have relocated in the Negev desert in Israel.
These 300 to 400 Jews are the descendants of Jewish men who came to the Amazon seeking their fortunes in the rubber boom during the late 1800's, and their indigenous wives and girlfriends. We follow their journey to become fully recognised as Jews, their mass conversion to Judaism, and their emigration and stunningly remarkable adjustment to life in Israel. We meet the scholar, Ariel Segal, and the Rabbis who took part in this remarkable education and conversion. Engrossing.
Clearly, the Jews of the Amazon have a real historical and cultural claim on their Jewish ties as certainly do the Bene Israel of Mumbai.
These films also brought to mind what we learned when we were in Israel in the summer 0f 2007. We learned that many desperate people from Africa make their way across the African continent each year to the Egyptian border with Israel and beg for political and economic asylum and the right to live in Israel. They say that the Jews should know what it is to be homeless, destitute and war-tossed, and not wanted by other countries, and they ask to be admitted into Israel for a chance to make a new more prosperous life.
Israel sorts through their claims and tries to find the true political asylum seekers for admission into Israel and sort them out from the economic immigrants since no country can admit all comers. We do not know why this human story has not been the topic of any reporting we have seen in the regular press.

In this article from the final issue (June/July) of Game Developer magazine, game developers share their hacks, tricks, and war stories about getting the game out the door however they had to. (The complete issue is available as a free download here.)
The article is being highlighted as one of Gamasutra's best stories of 2013.
Joe Valenzuela, Insomniac Games
This trick was on the PS3: We on the Insomniac engine team had some textures that we wanted distributed with our engine/tools release. These were things like noise textures and source input for full-screen filter effects. For some unimportant reasons, we didn't want to distribute these as actual asset files, so instead we converted them to binary arrays and compiled them into the executable. There was one downside, though -- we wanted these to be in a different chunk of memory (RSX visible), so we would end up copying them out and just wasting the memory for the source.
The PS3 toolchain had a link feature to put certain sections in RSX memory, but it requires using 1MB pages, and in our case it would have wasted 700k. Instead, we added a new data section in the executable that aliased the bss (the "bss alias" or "balias" section). We had something like 3MB of bss in our final builds, so there was more than enough space to hide some texture assets. We ran some code as early as we could in the crt initialization to initialize the destination memory, copy the assets out, and then re-initialize the bss to 0.
Believe it or not, it worked! There was a little tweaking to accommodate hidden bss use and toolchain updates, but overall it was pretty straightforward.
Brett Douville, LucasArts
In early 2002, we were readying Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter for submission to Sony. One niggling TCR bug remained, which was that the controller's analog stick functionality would shut off while we were loading our post-mission cutscenes, causing the red light in the center of the controller to go off as well. This bug had shown up when we updated to a library version required by Sony, and the programmer who had originally written both the movie-loading code and the IOP logic for the controller itself had left LucasArts some months before.
In the hopes of narrowing down the problem quickly in code I didn't understand, I inserted seven screen clears in different colors in the code I determined to be the likely source of the problem, hoping that I could at least narrow it down to one or two sections of code by checking what color the screen was when the analog controls turned off. But when I then tried to reproduce the bug, it had disappeared.
It's an old programming adage that if you don't understand the cause, you can't be said to have fixed the bug. But in this case, we were two or three days away from our intended submission date and missing it would have been a big deal. So I changed all the screen clears to black, marked the bug fixed, and called it a day. We shipped on time, with no TCR showstoppers.
Jonathan Garrett, Insomniac Games
Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal was an online title that shipped without the ability to patch either code or data. Which was unfortunate.
The game downloads and displays an End User License Agreement each time it's launched. This is an ascii string stored in a static buffer. This buffer is filled from the server without checking that the size is within the buffer's capacity.
We exploited this fact to cause the EULA download to overflow the static buffer far enough to also overwrite a known global variable. This variable happened to be the function callback handler for a specific network packet. Once this handler was installed, we could send the network packet to cause a jump to the address in the overwritten global. The address was a pointer to some payload code that was stored earlier in the EULA data.
Valuable data existed between the real end of the EULA buffer and the overwritten global, so the first job of the payload code was to restore this trashed data. Once that was done things were back to normal and the actual patching work could be done.
One complication is that the EULA text is copied with strcpy. And strcpy ends when it finds a 0 byte (which is usually the end of the string). Our string contained code which often contains 0 bytes. So we mutated the compiled code such that it contained no zero bytes and had a carefully crafted piece of bootstrap asm to un-mutate it.
By the end, the hack looked like this:
1. Send oversized EULA
2. Overflow EULA buffer, miscellaneous data, callback handler pointer
3. Send packet to trigger handler
4. Game jumps to bootstrap code pointed to by handler
5. Bootstrap decodes payload data
6. Payload downloads and restores stomped miscellaneous data
7. Patch executes
Takeaways: Include patching code in your shipped game, and don't use unbounded strcpy.

Alliance Gaming Corp. has agreed to sell its Rail City Casino in Sparks to Sands Regent for about $38 million.
In a press release Monday, the slot-machine and gaming technology company said the sale is part of its plan to divest non-core assets.
The deal consists of $35 million in cash and $3 million of subordinated debt provided by Alliance.
Rail City Casino, just outside of Reno, has been profitable for the last six years despite growing competition from tribal casinos in California, Alliance said in a press release.
Sands Regent owns the 800-room Sands Regency hotel-casino in downtown Reno and the Gold Ranch Casino and RV Resort in Verdi. It said it wants to expand in the Reno area.
Las Vegas-based Alliance sold its Bally Wulff unit in July and plans early next year to complete the sale of gaming route operations including Las Vegas-based United Coin Machine Co. and New Orleans-based Video Services Inc.

FreeBSD's current production release is version 7.1. Gentoo/FreeBSD is based on version 6.2 and older versions of Gentoo/FreeBSD are discontinued and no longer supported.
Users migrating from Linux to FreeBSD commonly consider the two operating systems "almost the same". In fact, FreeBSD really shares a lot of similarities with Linux distributions in general. Nevertheless, it has some key differences that are worth noting:
Besides, FreeBSD also has some technical differences which set it apart from Linux. Some of them are very important to know, even if you don't plan on joining the Gentoo/FreeBSD development effort:
After this short introduction, it's about time to finally install
Gentoo/FreeBSD. Unfortunately, we currently lack our own installation media, so
you have to choose between two alternative installation methods. The first
would be to use an existing FreeBSD installation to partition your hard drive
and use it as a base for installing Gentoo/FreeBSD. This guide will describe how
to use the
First, boot the CD in order to begin the installation process. You'll be
presented with a login screen. The username is
# ifconfig fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> inet6 fe80::2d0::b7ff:febc:4fe3%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 192.168.0.106 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:d0:b7:bc:4f:e3 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active lo0: flags=8007<LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
If the original DHCP request during the CD bootup failed, you can use the
# dhclient fxp0 DHCPDISCOVER on fxp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 DHCPOFFER from 192.168.0.1 DHCPREQUEST on fxp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 192.168.0.1 bound to 192.168.0.106 -- renewal in 302400 seconds
Now that we have a mount point, it's time to partition the drive. This is done
with the
# sysinstall diskPartitionEditor diskPartitionWrite
We recommend that you use the default layout. Press enter at the dialog, then press a followed by q to accept the default layout. The next screen will present you with the option of a bootloader. For this option, choose "None" as we'll be installing the bootloader later on. Next comes the actual partition sizing and mount points.
This next step also uses
# sysinstall diskLabelEditor diskLabelCommit
Here, we'll refrain from using the automatic layout, and create one giant root
partition, followed by a swap partition. Hit c to create a new
partition. A dialog prompts you to enter a size. Go ahead and do so, using
MB/GB for setting different sizes, or C for cylinders. For root, choose FS as
the partition type, and set the mount point as
When choosing a different mountpoint than
# disklabel ad0s1 | sed 's/^ d:/ a:/' | disklabel -R ad0s1 /dev/stdin
This will finalize the partitioning process, and format the drive in UFS for
FreeBSD to utilize. This will also mount the drive for you at the mount point
specified earlier (
# mount ... /dev/ad0s1a on /mnt (ufs, local)
Now that you have mounted the target partition, it is time to start on the Gentoo setup.
First, we need to download a stage3 tarball and unpack it into the chroot.
Point your browser to
# cd /mnt/
(Any other Gentoo mirror which includes the experimental/ directory will also work.)# wget http://distfiles.gentoo.org/experimental/x86/freebsd/stages/stage3-x86-freebsd-6.2-r1.tar.bz2 # tar -jxvpf stage3-x86-freebsd-6.2-r1.tar.bz2 (You can delete the tarball with the following command if you want to.)# rm stage3-x86-freebsd-6.2-r1.tar.bz2
In order for your install to work, you need to mount the
# mount -t devfs none /mnt/dev/ # cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/ # chroot /mnt/ /bin/bash # env-update && source /etc/profile
After you obtain the Gentoo/FreeBSD overlay, it's time to link
Now, you have to obtain a copy of the main Gentoo Portage tree, which depending on your connection might take quite a while.
# emerge --sync
(It's also possible to retrieve the Portage tree in another way:)# cd / # wget http://distfiles.gentoo.org/snapshots/portage-latest.tar.bz2 # tar -xjf portage-latest.tar.bz2 -C /usr/ # emerge --metadata
# ln -sf /usr/portage/profiles/default-bsd/fbsd/6.2/x86/ /etc/portage/make.profile # nano /etc/portage/make.conf
(Please make sure you add at least the following entries:)CHOST="i686-gentoo-freebsd6.2" FEATURES="collision-protect"
If you want, you can now rebuild the system's core packages.
# emerge -e system
First make sure your date and time is set correctly using
(Check the clock)# date Mon Mar 6 00:14:13 UTC 2006 (Set the current date and time if required)# date 200603060016 (Format is yyyymmddHHMM)Mon Mar 6 00:16:00 UTC 2006
Next, set your time zone information by using the correct listing in
# ls /usr/share/zoneinfo
(Using Brussels as an example)# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Brussels /etc/localtime # date Wed Mar 8 00:46:05 CET 2006
# nano -w /etc/timezone Europe/Brussels
If you ran
# emerge freebsd-sources
Configuring and compiling a custom kernel is quite different from compiling
Linux, so if you are not familiar with the process we encourage you to have a
look at
# cd /usr/src/sys/
Looking over the layout, you'll see various architectures and subdirectories
for various parts of the kernel. To begin the installation, we head into the
# cd i386/conf/ # ls .cvsignore GENERIC Makefile PAE DEFAULTS GENERIC.hints NOTES SMP
The main files to note are
# cp GENERIC.hints /boot/device.hints
This file is used by the kernel drivers for basic configuration information
such as IRQ settings. Now it's time to configure the kernel. FreeBSD uses the
# config GENERIC Kernel build directory is ../compile/GENERIC Don't forget to ''make cleandepend; make depend''
# cd ../compile/GENERIC # make cleandepend && make depend && make && make install
This will give us a complete kernel to work with. Now we'll need to setup the
bootloader for the kernel to boot. The next chapter will discuss two methods of
setting up the bootloader:
# emerge boot0
(Leave the chroot environment)# exit (Issued from outside the chroot)# fdisk -B -b /mnt/boot/boot0 /dev/adX # chroot /mnt/ /bin/bash # disklabel -B adXsY
If you need additional information on setting up
The next section will look at using the alternative bootloader,
As of grub 0.97-r1, UFS slices are readable to
# emerge grub # disklabel -B adXsY
Now run
(This is done to prevent disk error 29)# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 # grub (Example using ad0s1d)grub> root (hd0,0,d) Filesystem type is ufs2, partition type 0xa5 grub> setup (hd0) Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/ufs2_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed /boot/grub/ufs2_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 14 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+14 p (hd0,0,d)/boot/grub/stage 2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded Done. grub> quit
To make the loader find the kernel on a specific slice (the default is 'a'),
add a
# echo 'vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:ad0s1d"' >> /boot/loader.conf
When you first boot, you may not receive a grub menu. If so, run this at the prompt:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(The output here is what you'll use in the next command)(hd0,0,d) grub> kernel (hd0,0,d)/boot/loader [FreeBSD-a.out, loadaddr=0x200000, text=0x1000, data=0x3a000, bss=0x0, entry=0x200000] grub> boot
First, we are going to setup the filesystem mounting points in
# nano /etc/fstab
(This is an example, replace X and Y with the correct numbers for your hard disk.)#Device Mountpoint Fstype Options Dump Pass /dev/adXsYb none swap sw 0 0 /dev/adXsYa / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/adXsYe /usr/home ufs rw 2 2 /dev/adXsYd /tmp ufs rw 2 2 /dev/acdX /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
Now would also be a good time to set up your network connection before the final
reboot. You can find all the information necessary to configure your network in
# rc-update add net.fxp0 default
Your system's hostname can be changed in
# nano /etc/conf.d/hostname
(Set the HOSTNAME variable to your hostname)HOSTNAME="tux"
You should also configure your domain name, which is done in the
# nano /etc/conf.d/domainname
(Set the dns_domain variable to your domain name, and lo to your local network interface)dns_domain_lo="homenetwork"
If you have a NIS domain, you need to define it in the
# nano /etc/conf.d/domainname
(Set the nis_domain variable to your NIS domain name, and lo to your local network interface)nis_domain_lo="my-nisdomain"
In case you need to use another keyboard layout for your language, you have to
set the correct value in
# nano /etc/conf.d/syscons KEYMAP="spanish.iso.acc"
(Possible layouts can be found in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps).
Now would be a good time to set a password for the
# passwd # adduser Username: fred Full Name: Fred Smith
(Accepting the default here, just hit Enter.)Uid (Leave empty for default): (OK to accept the default here as well; hit Enter.)Login group [fred]: (Enter your groups here, space separated. They must exist.)Login group is fred. Invite fred into other groups? []: wheel portage (OK to accept the default here, hit Enter)Login class [default]: (Somewhat of a personal preference. Make sure the shell exists in /etc/shells)Shell (sh bash tcsh csh esh ksh zsh sash nologin) [sh] bash (OK to accept the default here, hit Enter for all these)User password-based authentication [yes] Use an empty password (yes/no) [no]: Use a random password? (yes/no) [no]: Enter password: password goes here Enter password again: retype it (OK to accept the default here, hit Enter)Lock out the account after creation? [no]: Username : fred Password : ***** Full Name : Fred Smith (This will vary)Uid : 1002 Class : Groups : fred wheel portage Home : /home/fred Shell : /bin/bash Locked : no (Confirm the information is correct)OK? (yes/no): yes adduser: INFO: Sucessfully added (fred) to the user database Add another user? (yes/no): no Goodbye! #
Congratulations, you have just finished your Gentoo/FreeBSD installation which you can start exploring after the final reboot. Have fun!
# exit # reboot
There are many things you could help with, depending on your skill level and spare time:
At the moment, there are still quite a lot of known issues. Here are the ones really worth noting:

kinkadda brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 45 Designs von 10 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Logo is mostly flushed out but we need to have a finished Logo that takes ours to the NEXT LEVEL! Will also PROMOTE winners website on ours as the designer of the logo. Currently being designed.

- ***WE NEED A .PSD FILE FOR MAC COMPUTERS ADOBE PHOTOSHOP WITH ALL INCLUDED LAYERS** SORRY FOR THE MISHAP!...Our Logo needs to be creative, artistic & inspirational yet very professional. The fonts should be some what creative like the expression of an artist but the professionalism of a Major Brand Company. The "i" in the middle of the word should have the feel or be a torch and look like a lower case "i" while the rest of the word is all caps. Can be Upper and lower caps.Needs to be the two hands in the pic as well clasping at the wrists. We're not Attached to having the hands in the middle but THEY NEED TO BE IN THE LOGO!!! we like the direction our rough logo is going so far so don't stray too much. Same goes with the "i" in the middle. You have the freedom to play a bit. this is a part of our existing logo currently. Hand colors should be abstract colors, not seen as actual human colors. We want to stay away from race. The color Red should be used as a eye grabbing color but not overdone. rearrange as much as you want but the key elements must remain. the "i" as a torch. Can be the first "i" in inspire or the second "i" in inspire. we need a .psd file with included layers for mac computers.tagline:Transformation through the blinks of an eye.
- Nothing too loud or Crazy or over the top. What we have is really close but We want to see your artistic flair added to it as well without changing it too much. don't change over 50% of what we already have. nothing kid like, corny or amateurish please. Nothing too sharp or abrasive as a whole for the design. limit the HARD lines as much as possible.

For something so short—140 characters, max—a tweet can do a lot of damage.
Already in the Summer Games, two athletes have been kicked out for controversial tweets, and others were reprimanded for violating Olympic rules by using the social network to name their sponsors. One bad tweet could lose athletes not just their chance at medaling, but also the cash bonuses many countries and sponsors pay winners. Experts say the tweets could also affect their image, limiting future sponsorships and career opportunities.
There's still plenty at stake if your own athletic feats are limited to the occasional treadmill session at the gym. The immediacy of the medium makes it tough to rein in a tweet once posted: Even if you delete it or use a private account, screenshots, retweets and simple cutting-and-pasting can spread it, fast. As we've previously reported, controversial tweets can get you in trouble with your bosses or the law. We found a number of tweets that had serious financial impact, in some cases generating costs in excess of $500,000.
The biggest lesson to be learned: think before you tweet. Columbia University chief digital officer and journalism professor Sree Sreenivasan says he waits an extra three to six minutes after writing a tweet before he posts. Etiquette expert Anna Post, co-author of "Emily Post's Etiquette," gives herself five to 10 minutes, and may ask a friend to read it over. "Anything you think is a joke or a jab… can really miss the mark," she says. "A hundred and forty characters is not enough to be clear sometimes, but it sure is enough rope to hang yourself with."
To avoid getting tangled, experts say, writers should treat the content of every tweet like it's reaching an audience of millions—even if their list of followers tops out in double figures. "Imagine every tweet you write on the front page of your hometown newspaper," Sreenivasan says. Word is likely to spread faster if you're tweeting on a hot topic — plenty of media outlets are following Olympics-related tweets of average citizens as well as those of athletes, and there's considerable scrutiny on other trending stories.
If you post something that you later regret, the best course of action is to delete it and apologize, Post says: "It's not just about expunging it, it's about acknowledging the mistake."

Bob "Hardcore" Holly is a man many feared inside the ring. While today's wrestling product may be geared more towards entertainment, Holly always brought a no-nonsense style to the arena that echoed the days of tough men like Thesz and Gotch. In his autobiography, The Hardcore Truth: The Bob Holly Story, Holly and co-author Ross Williams dive into psyche of the man who held multiple titles in the WWE.
Holly discusses his roots to kick off the book, dishing about his rough upbringing in a poor, yet driven blue-collar family. In doing that, we learn of Holly's exposure to professional wrestling and how a love of "Playboy" Buddy Rose got him hooked on the business. Holly spares little detail as he details his pre-wrestling life, working into and with the WWE, and the departure that leads to the most recent events of his life.
What is most notable about the text is that it is raw, for better or for worse. While all of the prototypical autobiographical themes remain intact, Holly's style of writing leads for many branches to grow off of the trunk that is the story of his life. Depending on the reader, this can be a hindrance or a hoot. Not everyone will find this to be their cup of tea, but Holly's thoughts on various subjects in life and professional wrestling provide a look into the mind of the writer. Topics as light as fitness and well-being for prospective wrestlers grace the pages of the autobiography, but Holly doesn't shy away from some thoughts on darker subjects, such as the deaths of Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero.
For those coming in expecting vivid recollections and deep insight, this may not be the book for you. While heavy on anecdotes, Holly is not unlike his on-screen persona in his prose; he shoots straight from the hip with sharp thoughts that cut to the chase. For those who know of Holly's personality in and out of the ring, it provides an endearing, personal style that gives an apt representation of the author. While the text may seem a bit rough around the edges, it could not be more apropos for the author.
Holly and Willams' The Hardcore Truth: The Bob Holly Story will not be up for a Pulitzer Prize any time soon. That said, the man behind the words never seemed to be one for frills. Holly's text is a straightforward look into the life of a man that has dedicated himself to the sport of professional wrestling. For fans such as myself who appreciated the blunt style of the man known as Hardcore Holly, this ECW Press product will be an entertaining, worthwhile look into one of the unique personalities of professional wrestling.

Artikulate is a pronunciaton trainer, currently in the Edu Playground. This means the application is not released yet and still under development! Please take this in mind when looking at the application. Though already now, all kinds of bug reports are very welcomed!
The following general steps are mandatory:
Some of these steps need further explenations:
Usually it is not necessary to compile kdelibs and Qt by yourself! The current master branch only requires development packges of the following framewoks:
Those package are usually provided by your distribution. Not that you also must install the development packages (often indicated by a trailing "-dev" in the package name).
You can fetch the sources from the Artikulate Project Page by cloning the Git repository. Let's say for the further explenations here that you fetch the source to: "$HOME/artikulate-source" (replace $HOME by the path to your home directory!)
Next, we need folders for building and for installing Artikulate. Let's say we create folders
Then we need to say the build-scripts that those folders exist. Very comfortable this can be done by using the program cmake-gui. Take care to set the following variables:
Then press "configure" to see if all necessary libraries are present. Maybe you must press configure twice to get all red warnings resolved. If nothing red remains, all dependencies are found. To generate the build files, press "Generate".
It is necessary that the following variables are set when executing the application. This can either be done in your IDE (like KDevelop or QtCreator) or at the console with the export command, i.e.:
Finally, you can run your build Artikulate binaries in $HOME/artikulate-install/bin/artikulate.
