Duppa Homestead: The Oldest House in Phoenix
May 19, 2013
Like the mythical bird that rises from the ashes, the City of Phoenix really does keep re-inventing itself. In the city's real estate-driven economy, little thought is given to razing historic buildings when a new project is in the works.
Miraculously though, this house has managed to survive for 143 years. That makes it the oldest surviving structure in Phoenix!
The Duppa Homestead was originally built by Lord Darrell Duppa, an Englishman who came to Prescott in 1863 and settled in the Salt River Valley in 1867. The house is believed to have been constructed in 1870.
The walls are constructed of adobe brick and the roof uses cottonwood tree branches and mud, which would have been typical construction methods for the time.
Lord Duppa is credited with naming Phoenix and Tempe, after the Vale of Tempe in Greece. Duppa was a well-read scholar, having attended Cambridge University in England.
He was friends with Jack Swilling, another important pioneer and businessman who was instrumental in the founding of modern Phoenix.
Today the home is preserved by the Arizona Historical Society. It can be seen downtown at 1st Ave and Sherman St (about 3 blocks north of Buckeye Road). The address of the Duppa Homestead is:
115 W Sherman St.
Phoenix, AZ 85003
Just for the record, the Duppa Homestead is the oldest building in Phoenix, but not the oldest building in Arizona. That claim belongs to Fort Misery, a log cabin in Prescott, Arizona that dates back to 1864. It is part of the Sharlot Hall Museum today.

Unfortunately, it's not actually Duppa's house:

The log cabin in Prescott is in NO WAY the oldest building in Arizona! Discounting the countless structures that still exist from a time before Europeans came, the San Xavier Mission near Tucson dates from 1783!... and there are other 18th and early 19th Century "European" structures around the state, as well!

Casa Grande, for the WIN...its the oldest building in the entire united states, along with cliff dwellings that scatter the Colorado plateau

1986 Porsche
Name another 30-year-old car that can still run with the big dogs both on the street and on the track like this 39,601 actual mileage 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo. Few cars represent bigger bang for the buck, and this immaculately maintained coupe still commands respect wherever it goes, never mind the fact that it's also a blast to drive.
The 944 Turbo continues in Porsche's tradition of building serious driver's cars. There's no evidence that it was ever raced or abused, and unlike many of its siblings, it hasn't been chopped and gutted to make a track day special. Instead this highly original example has its correct Guards Red bodywork (a legendary Porsche color.) It looks fantastic today, especially with the Turbo's updated styling w/integrated bumper. The practical side of this front fascia carries large fog lamps and extra cooling ducts. Fit and finish are typically Porsche excellent and even the black rubber trim like the rear spoiler and weather stripping is smooth and supple. It even carries the iconic "phone dial" 16-inch alloy wheels, and their condition tells you this is one cared for coupe.
The interior is as pure a driving environment as you'll find. Designed by the same guys who win at Lemans, it has hints of its legendary 911 brother with those supportive leather buckets. Of course it all looks great because low mileage also means little time for fade and wear. Clear analog gauges are straightforward, and the manual shifter is the best one this side of a Mazda Miata's joystick. Just about everything was standard (this IS a Porsche, after all) including air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power seats, sunroof, and cruise control. The original 80s vintage stereo has been replaced by a great-sounding Blaupunkt AM/FM/CD head unit that allows for modern Bluetooth and iPod connections.
This 944's numbers-matching turbocharged and fuel-injected motor puts out a robust 217 horsepower from just 2.5 liters. Canted over at an angle for a lower center of gravity, it makes big torque at low speeds. The lightweight nature makes these cars a little pocket-rocket, and the rear-mounted five-speed transmission means that the car has almost ideal 50/50 weight distribution. Add in features like four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, and Porsche's legendary engineering prowess for the fully independent sport suspension, and you realize this is blast to drive anytime. But there is a practical side to this purchase, too. Decades of expert maintenance means that it's turn-key ready, and the impressively clean undercarriage is more proof that the car has led an easy life as a fair-weather toy.
Complete with owner's manual and maintenance records, this is a complete and classic Porsche that is well within reach. Call today!!!

I think that you will find that you are overstepping your boundaries with this one and that it will ultimately be the demise of what would otherwise be a very great and important part of every day life. I hope that you greedy bastards change your minds because I really mean what I say about not paying, even if it means no more internet.

I was running Debian Sarge (64bit), and a few Counter-Strike Source servers, I had no problem at all and they was running smooth.
Recently I installed Arch (i686) on the server and the CSS servers are laggy, while playing you get frequent lag spikes...
$ uname -a
Linux r0xb0x 2.6.17-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 9 07:32:55 CEST 2006 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 4000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
I was running 2.6.7(?) on Debian, so I'm thinking its the 2.6.17 kernel, should I try a differant flavor like beyond/archck/vanilla?
The FPS fluctuatates from 120 - 250, I could'nt tell you what it was like on Debian.
Is there a custom kernel for gaming? Or one that would suite my needs better, or should I compile my own?
-- eth0
I have the same problem. I had debian installed and CSS server ran smooth. I changed to Arch and I got the lag spikes. I didn't try to fix this. I just stopped using CSS server
ut99 and ut2004 servers run very smooth.
Try using one of the kernels patched with the CK patchset (beyond, ck) and see if this improves the performance. My gaming performance is much better with these kernels. I'm not hosting a server, tho.
I'm trying to compile my own kernel, and I can't get pass "make install":
[root@r0xb0x linux-126.96.36.199]# make install
sh /usr/src/linux-126.96.36.199/arch/i386/boot/install.sh 126.96.36.199eth0 arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"
Fatal: open /dev/hda: Read-only file system
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2
Some reason it's using /dev/hda, yet all my hard-drives are SATA (/dev/sda), why's it using /dev/hda. I Google'd, couldn't find anything...

What defines an efficient market?
"There was an active debate on whether the Reserve Banks should be involved in card-based systems, but we concluded that card systems were not something that the Reserve Banks needed to become operationally involved in. [We concluded] that the private sector was developing these systems appropriately on their own, and that it didn't need public sector intervention." (From Louise Roseman's keynote address at the November 2011 Retail Payments Risk Forum conference, "The Role of Government in Payments Risk and Fraud.)
I recently re-watched video clips from Louise Roseman's keynote address at our November 2011 Retail Payments Risk Forum conference. In these clips, Roseman, who is the director of Reserve Bank operations and payment systems at the Board of Governors, explained that the Fed occasionally, but not always, provides payments services. She mentioned that when credit cards started to appear, the Fed debated whether or not they had a role in that market. However, the Fed determined that the market was functioning well enough on its own and that intervention was not justified.
Roseman discussed a contrasting example of when the Fed did intervene in a market: check clearing in the 1910s. In the 20th century, paper checks had to be physically presented at the bank they were drawn on in order to clear. While this process was easy for checks drawn on and deposited at banks located in the same major city, it was much more difficult for checks that had to travel inter-city or were drawn on country banks. To process these out-of-town checks, banks had to manage multiple correspondent relationships. Across banks and clearinghouses, this meant frequent handling and duplication of effort. And when a receiving bank did not have a correspondent relationship with the paying bank, these checks did not clear at par—that is, paying banks charged presentment fees for settling checks with noncorrespondents.
To minimize presentment fees, banks would sometimes send checks on a circuitous route. What follows is a real example of one check's meanderings. (This journey is documented in Clearing Houses and Credit Instruments, a 1911 publication of the National Monetary Commission.) Woodward Brothers of Sag Harbor, NY, wrote a check for $43.56 from its account at the Peconic Bank to Berry, Lohman, and Rasch of Hoboken, NJ. The check was deposited at the Second National Bank of Hoboken. The Second National Bank of Hoboken sent the check to Harvey Fisk and Sons, of New York, who sent the check to the Globe National Bank of Boston, who sent it to the First National Bank of Tonawanda (on the far western border of New York). From Tonawanda, the check made its way to the National Exchange Bank of Albany, was forwarded to the First National Bank of Port Jefferson, went on to the Far Rockaway Bank, and ended up going back to the Big Apple at Chase National Bank. From Chase, the check went to Queens County Bank of Brooklyn, and finally back to the Peconic Bank of Sag Harbor!
At the time, many bankers pushed for the Fed to provide check clearing to reduce these inefficiencies. The Fed obliged, which resulted in savings to the whole market and all checks clearing at par.
Check clearing is just one example of a payment system in which the Fed could improve the overall efficiency of clearing and settlement processes. Are there other markets for which we could replicate this success? What defines an efficiently functioning market?

Three years ago, one of my very best friends died of liver failure. He was a close friend since childhood, my brother really, and even though we lived in different areas, we still talked weekly. He always made me laugh, even when the topics were "heavy." He was an immensely popular and beloved guy. But he didn't make it to fifty.
As his liver and health failed, he suffered tremendously. Eventually he was on a wait list for a transplanted organ, and he did get one, but it did not work. There were likely multiple reasons for that, but one reason was that the wait was too long and he was already too ill by the time the new liver became available. Admittedly, we'll never know if an earlier transplant might have saved him. But it's very possible.
This sad scenario is all too common. Wait lists for transplantable organs have now grown to over 100,000 people at any one time, a bad landmark. Thousands die on those lists – up to 20 people a day. Internationally, the shortage has contributed to the black market in organs and the horrors of those who are desperate enough to sell their body parts. And the sad thing is that much of this suffering is unnecessary, as so many transplantable organs are being buried or cremated even though the people who have died would have wanted them used to save others. But far too many of us do not fill out the little donor card for our drivers' license or take other steps to make that known.
The "organ shortage" is an ongoing double tragedy not only due to all the suffering and dying, but because much of that could be prevented. Most organ donation now relies upon education and altruism – a beautiful human trait. But increasing numbers of people are coming to believe the current approach is insufficient.
In some nations, the "default" for organ donation has been changed, flipped, really, to one of "presumed consent" – if you don't say you don't want your organs used, they can be. This "opt-out" approach has resulted in a dramatic decrease in wait lists in some places, with relatively little negative impact as the public is educated to be made aware of their options. I do think this is the best approach, if implemented slowly and with massive public awareness campaigns. I also think it is unlikely to be implemented here anytime soon, as it is just too radical a change for our contentious country.
Another, less sweeping policy, can be called "donor-first" approaches; if you are a registered potential donor, if you wind up on a wait list, you'd receive priority over those who were not listed as potential donor. I co-authored an article on this with another childhood friend, who was also a lifelong friend of our deceased friend but is also a physician who cares for people in need of organs and knows the suffering involved:
This proposal receives mixed responses. Some see it as too complex to be implemented; others feel it would be discriminatory. A panel of physicians convened at the local medical society felt it was a good idea but that "presumed consent" would be better – again, I agree, but doubt we will get that implemented. I think it would be possible to try a "donor first" policy and see how it impacts the wait lists, but have been unable to convince enough people to attempt that. Pilot, private efforts are being attempted elsewhere, but the official organ donation and distribution system needs to be involved to really make an impact.
Until that occurs, and/or until we find an acceptable way to "incentivize" more people to become organ donors, we'll likely have far too many preventable deaths. No policy is perfect; there are likely to be failures and problems, maybe even some abuses, with whatever we do. But as is often remarked, "the perfect is the enemy of the good," and the status quo may well be among the least perfect approaches we might try. And that's a tragedy.

It may seem strange to emphasize the importance of vitamin D if it's the summer, yet many of us will continue to require supplementation despite the abundance of seasonal sunshine. If your levels are low, a one or two week vacation at the beach probably won't be enough to replenish this vitamin to adequacy. And, if you work indoors or wear sunscreen religiously when you go outside (and good for you if you do), you should be supplementing with vitamin D.

In addition to its positive effects on bone health and calcium absorption, vitamin D offers powerful cancer protection. Some of the most ground-breaking findings in nutrition science in recent years have been evidence of the vitamin D ability to defend against cancer. More than 800 scientific papers have been published on the relationship between vitamin D and cancers. We now have ample evidence that maintaining adequate vitamin D levels is an effective cancer-protection strategy. Research suggests that vitamin D adequacy reduces the risk of death in breast, colorectal, lung and prostate cancer, leukemia and lymphomas and all cancers combined. A 2014 analysis on vitamin D supplementation found that it was associated with reduced risk of cancer mortality.

Evidence of Vitamin D's Ability to Decrease Cancer Risk

The idea that vitamin D could protect against cancers originated from observations that colon cancer mortality was highest in areas that got the least amount of sunlight. Several studies have found an inverse relationship between sun exposure and 24 different types of cancer, including some of the most common—breast, colon, rectum, and prostate. Because most people's primary vitamin D source is sunlight, and darker skin is less efficient at producing the vitamin in response to UV rays, vitamin D insufficiency is thought to be one reason for the cancer survival disparities that exist between African Americans and white Americans.

Evidence suggesting vitamin D's involvement in decreasing cancer risk has steadily grown. Additional support for vitamin D's importance in cancer prevention was provided by randomized controlled trials of vitamin D supplementation that showed reduced cancer risk compared to a placebo. There have also been many reports that vitamin D receptor gene mutations, which interfere with the normal biological actions of vitamin D, were associated with increased cancer risk.

Additional studies have confirmed that vitamin D can block cancer cell growth in a number of ways: Vitamin D alters the expression of genes that control inflammation, cell death and cell proliferation, and also interferes with the growth-promoting actions of IGF-1 and other growth factors. It also enhances DNA repair and immune defenses, and angiogenesis inhibition.

Vitamin D and Healthy Aging

In addition to cancer prevention, making sure that vitamin D levels are adequate may help to reduce the risk of frailty and falls. Falls can be devastating for older adults, a major cause of fractures, head injuries, and accidental deaths in older people. After a fall, it is common for an elderly person to experience an accelerated decline in physical function and a loss of independence. About 25 percent of elderly Americans who fall die within six months, and more than 50 percent are discharged to a nursing home.

Loss of muscle mass and vitamin D deficiency are two of the risk factors for falls, and these factors are connected. One of vitamin D's lesser known properties is its beneficial effect on muscle function, by altering gene expression and calcium transport in muscle cells. Low vitamin D is associated with reduced muscle strength in the elderly, and vitamin D supplementation has been found to improve muscle strength and balance.

Determining the Right Amount of Vitamin D

Borderline low levels of vitamin D have been found to be very common in the United States and Canada. Very few foods naturally contain vitamin D and achieving adequate levels via sunlight can be difficult, depending on where you live, time spent outside, and your skin color. Plus sun exposure carries risk of skin damage and the risk of skin cancer.

A moderate daily dose of a vitamin D3 supplement (which is the natural form of the vitamin and it is a safer, higher-quality supplement than vitamin D2), is a sensible option for most individuals. As suggested by scientific evidence, aim for a blood level of 30 to 45 ng/ml. For most people, that will mean supplementing with approximately 1000 to 2000 IUs of vitamin D daily.

Sri Lankan authorities begin destroying seized ivory
African ivory seized on display before they are destroyed in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on Jan. 26, 2016. (Eranga Jayawardena / AP)
Krishan Francis, The Associated Press
Published Tuesday, January 26, 2016 9:31AM EST
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka -- Sri Lankan authorities on Tuesday began destroying a shipment of African ivory seized three years ago, following a ceremony at which Buddhist monks gave the slaughtered elephants blessings for a better rebirth.
The ivory was traced to northern Mozambique and Tanzania and has been valued by Sri Lankan customs at 368 million rupees (more than $2.5 million). Officials said the ivory, which was seized at Colombo's port, was being transported to Dubai through Kenya and Sri Lanka.
The destruction took place in an elaborate ceremony in Colombo attended by politicians, officials and diplomats.
The 359 tusks weighing a total of 1,529 kilograms (3,370 pounds) were crushed by machines into smaller pieces that will later be burned to ash in high-temperature ovens at a cement factory.
Before the crushing, Buddhist monks chanted blessings to make merit for the elephants so they could have a better rebirth.
John Scanlon, secretary general of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, was among those who participated in the ritual, which is usually performed by family members at Buddhist funerals.
Scanlon said the approximate value of the annual illegal trade in wildlife worldwide is $20 billion. The figure excludes timber and marine trade and mostly consists of ivory and rhino horns.
"Today's event also provides a very public opportunity to warn those people who trade illegally in ivory that the age and origin of the contraband can now be readily identified through the use of modern forensics, making prosecution and conviction far more likely," Scanlon said in a speech.
"Illegal trade in ivory is shifting from high profit, low risk to high risk, low profit," he said.

NSA Has Access to Smartphone Data
Germany's Spiegel online claims that it has seen documents that show that the NSA has the ability to tap into the leading smartphone operating systems which include iOS, Android and Blackberry. It has also been claimed that the NSA has separate teams dedicated to working on each platform.
The documents say that the NSA has the ability to access information on a smartphone such as SMS data, notes in the phone, contact lists and also location information. Another claim that was also made by the online new site is that the spying is targeted rather than being carried out on a mass scale and this is even happening without the knowledge of smartphone companies.
The inclusion of Blackberry in the list of operating systems that can be hacked is surely going to be of concern to the ailing smartphone maker due to one of its main selling points being the amount of security in its messaging system. These new claims will certainly worry users of the platform, especially those high level executives who deal with corporate secrets.
In a response to the report, a Blackberry spokesperson rejected the claims that there was a "back door" pipeline to the platform.
"We remain confident in the superiority of BlackBerry's mobile security platform for customers using our integrated device and enterprise server technology. Our public statements and principles have long underscored that there is no 'back door' pipeline to our platform. Our customers can rest assured that BlackBerry mobile security remains the best available solution to protect their mobile communications."

Its just all a bit creepy in my opinion that other people will be able to see your private info
Well the 'Project for a New American Century' (PNAC) does say that the US wants control of space AND cyberspace.
I was reading an article over the weekend about how the NSA's plan has always been to crack everything - not just targeted platforms or people - and then scan all the data for ''necessary'' information. So this is no big surprise. The NSA has pressured companies and influenced encoding technology for years to get easier access to private information.

Christ the head of the church? Husband the head of his wife?
Longing for that?
Marcus Brigstocke, cut adrift into agnosticism by the death of a friend and destabilized by the rantings of Richard Dawkins longs to believe in god, any god but the god of the Bible – he says. Many consider the god of the Bible is like a phone-hacking, teeth-drilling, expense-fiddling, investment banker who is out to ruin your life.
Yet Bible implies headship is something good, attractive and something to hope for.
Somewhere someone has misread the script. Here's gospel hope:
"they shall appoint for themselves one head" (Hosea 1:11)Rewind. The Prophet Hosea is give a call that makes Jonah's call to Nineveh seem one you'd jump at. The prophet Jonah took extreme action to avoid his call to take a message of grace to a people who would receive it, wanting not to have such villains saved. What's the call on Hosea?
Hosea Chapter 1. Hosea is to marry a whore. Many commentators (even Burroughs) baulk at this and say it's just a vision or a picture. Too much to say a prophet marries a whore - but the Bible is full of scandal like that. You're meant to be uneasy about the LORD sending his prophet, a member of his inner ring to such a mission.
The people have committed a great whoredom. The verdict is emphatic, the word repeated three times in the call. When God's people are unfaithful it's not just doctrinal deviation it's heart-deep betrayal of the one who has made himself one with them. It's spiritual adultery that finds lovers and pays them. In sin we play the harlot.
What sin are you struggling with? Whoredom.
The prophet and the whore have three children. There is fruitfulness in this marriage. The first is Jezreel, a prophetic child of vengeance for evil committed. The second named, No Mercy. The third, Not My People.
Mercy is over – for Israel but not for Judah. The LORD says I will save them by the LORD. A Triune plot for salvation that will not be a military victory. The old commentators (like Burroughs) are right to say this is Jesus Christ, the Saviour who comes from Judah to save them, the Saviour who is the LORD sent by the LORD.
Not My People point to salvation that will make them once more My People, even Children of God. And saved and adopted they'll appoint their saviour as head, and celebrate the day of Jezreel. Salvation through judgement, salvation through welcome into a family, salvation that unifies those who have previously stood divided. Salvation that appoints Christ as head. Is Ephesians an exposition of Hosea?
The LORD is the head, modeled by the prophet Hosea. A head whose love is such that he'll give himself to the whore, loving her in faithfulness though she remains unfaithful in the marriage, still whoring after other men and their gods. This is sacrificial headship, modeling saving headship that is not the headship of battlefield Generals but of a loving father and husband.
Here is love, so giving, so free. Love so amazing, so spurned and awaiting the day when it will be received, welcomed – when the whore will receive her husband as her head, believing that he loves her and give himself for her – a love stronger than death, and who gives himself to her to beautify and benefit her.

The official ICC Champions Trophy photo and, inset, an enlarged crop of Australian team coach John Buchanan.
Photo: Supplied
Great shot, coach!
Unless you run a fine-tooth comb over them first, publishing group pictures can be fraught with danger. We've know of instances when men have been spotted with their flies undone and others who have been cheeky enough to poke their tongue out or generally pull faces.
In fact, back in the 1980s, in the days of the Sun News Pictorial, a footy training picture was not published, for no other reason than it didn't suit the layout. Which was just as well because next day someone noticed that almost hidden away but clearly visible if you looked hard enough, a certain star player of his day just happened to be urinating on the ground.
Which brings us to this group shot above, a snap of the 250 or so players and officials who were involved in last month's ICC Champions Trophy in England, a shot that took pride of place in the glossy program when England played the West Indies in the final.
Shock! Horror! Check out Australian team coach John Buchanan. Is he being a little too mischievous for his own good or what? A one-finger salute to the photographer - or is it to cricket officialdom in general?
Hey, how can someone in such a prestigious position in Australian sport be allowed to continue in the role when he carries on like this?
...but not out, says Buchanan
Seeking answers to all these questions we immediately set about tracking down the man in question but, alas, stumbled not on a front-page story (such as "Aussie coach in rude gestures shock"), instead one that is probably more to this column's liking anyway, and one that we shall file under "the oops of 2004".
You see, if you take Buchanan's word for it (and given his
exemplary report card in matters of character, one that we're
prepared to accept) he
was not "giving the bird" at all, but at the precise moment the picture was taken he was using the middle finger of his right hand to adjust his glasses, which were slipping off his nose.
"He didn't hear about it until we arrived in India but he is suitably very embarrassed about it all," an Australian team spokesman told us yesterday.
And the coach even claims to have some anecdotal evidence to support his case. Seems that in his early days as a university lecturer he was forever being picked up by his students for his habit of adjusting his glasses in similarly provocative manner and his class thought he was reprimanding one of them for not paying attention.
Needless to say, this column is grateful he took no notice of their pleas to stop it.
Duck - here comes Pigeon
When Glenn McGrath made a welcome return to taking lots of wickets - an overall 6/94 in Australia's first Test win over India - what almost passed everyone by was his continued contribution to the batting's statistical record.
Yep, courtesy of being trapped leg-before-wicket by Harbhajan Singh (0), the man they called Pigeon is now just one score of zero away from joining his teammate Shane Warne on 29 as the top Australian "scorer" of Test match ducks.
"One behind? I'll let him (Warne) know," said McGrath when the stats update was pointed out to him yesterday.
In fact, McGrath, who slotted straight into the No.11 role with a big fat zero on debut in Perth in 1993/94, now faces the gloomy prospect of perhaps one day finishing his career with more wickets than runs, having now taken 446 victims from 98 Tests against a career total of 453 runs with the bat.
One thing is certain though: he's unlikely to catch Mr
Zero himself, former West Indian fast bowler Courtney Walsh, who
ended his career with 43
ducks. At least, McGrath hopes he doesn't.
A clanger over Klinger
When you've been umpiring cricket as long as veteran Mornington Peninsula identity Sam Kumar, you reckon you know talent when you see it.
Which is precisely what Kumar did a few days back when, while officiating at a pre-season match between Premier Cricket clubs Frankston Peninsula and St Kilda, he became most impressed by a youthful-looking right-handed batsman for the Saints.
Recognising the batsman's potential, the Frankston Standard's Pot Shots column reports that Kumar sought him out during the lunch break and asked for his name so he could file it away and watch his progress during the season.
Imagine Kumar's embarrassment then when the "youngster" identified himself as Michael "Maxie" Klinger, a Victorian state representative. Oh well, we did say Kumar knows talent when he sees it.
Gazza's no gas for Paul
Whether he's referred to as "Gazza" or just plain Paul, former
soccer star Paul Gascoigne is known to millions of English fans as
one of the most
controversial and maligned players in the history of the sport. Well, not only does Gascoigne want to put all that behind him but as part of a fresh start he's even ditching his first name and that famous nickname as well.
"Gazza" and "Paul", he said, remind him too much of his manic practical jokes and alcohol problems.
Gascoigne says he is also taking elocution lessons to "calm me Geordie accent down and make me talk slower so as people can understand us".
In fact, the ex-champ is so adamant about getting a new first name - so far undecided - that he has vowed not to answer anyone who addresses him as Gazza.
Who said that?
"Six races, six gold medals... female swimmer of the
meet. I'm speechless."
- Brooke Hanson, Australian swimming's new golden girl.

Thinking Outside the Bathroom Storage Box
I've been giving a lot of thought to bathroom storage. In my bathroom in LA, I had the luxury of a medicine chest and a closet just outside the bathroom. But where I'm staying now, my only options are a window ledge and a rack positioned way too high for everyday use. There's barely even any extra floor space. For right now, everything's jumbled into a box under the pedestal sink…
If you're facing a similar storage dilemma in your bathroom, here are some options I've rounded up!
• The wall-mounted candle holders from CB2 are used in this home's playroom to hold pencils. They'd be even more useful in the bathroom to hold makeup brushes, toothbrushes, tubes of toothpaste and medicine.
• Ikea's Grundtal series are a favorite. Personally I prefer the items designed for the kitchen rethought for bathroom use: the cutlery stand to hold narrow items; the spice rack doing duty as an open medicine chest. Corral small items in glasses or small jars; we also like this idea for using bamboo steamers for storage. If finding space for these things are a problem, take a cue from this post: the back of the bathroom door can hold more than just towels!
• Wall mounted baskets, suggested in this post, are a good option for larger items like towels, washcloths or larger bottles of products.
• If you don't mind your stuff being "on display," hanging baskets, used in some kitchens to hold onions or fruit, can clip over your shower curtain rod. Just make sure, if there's a chance they'll get wet, that the items are capped tightly or waterproof.
• Wall mounted hooks can hold more than just towels and robes. If your bathroom's particularly narrow, take a cue from The Mondrian Hotel and hang some hooks (maybe these or these) along the walls. If you have a lot of stuff in tubes (it also works for flat items like combs and toothbrushes), use a large binder clamp, clipped to one end, and then dropped over an S hook, to make them hangable. Hang shampoos, conditioners and body lotions near your shower (you can hook them over the shower rod) and toothpaste and toothbrushes near your sink (slip an s hook into one of those wall-mounted toothbrush and cup holders found in many older bathrooms).

Maybe some care should taken now to make sure the new SA syscall interface will not need such a future flag day.

Two conservative Latinos at center of immigration debate
Published 3:32 pm, Tuesday, June 18, 2013
It's fascinating that two Hispanic men — both of whom are further to the right of where most Latinos stand on immigration — are at the epicenter of the current reform debate.
Both Cuban-Americans, Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, represent the young, multicultural new face of what could someday become a diverse Republican Party.
Until then, they'll be two of the most important Hispanic political players that many Latinos don't much care for.
As an architect of the Senate's compromise bill, Rubio — who in February graced the cover of Time magazine as "The Republican Savior" — would probably emerge unscathed if the reform measure fails in the Senate.
Oh sure, liberal Latinos had already started pitching fits when he began talking about not voting for his own bill unless more border security measures were included. The complaints started building when Rubio announced he'd be submitting an amendment requiring immigrants to prove they could read, write and speak English before earning a green card.
Yet Rubio — who fits a comforting narrative of charming, bilingual, pulled-himself-up-by-his-bootstraps, son of immigrants — enjoys a benefit of the doubt that will keep him in the good graces of the general public and the Republican Party.
Ted Cruz? Not so much.
Aside from tea partyers who couldn't be happier to have a Latino in their ranks who's as passionate about abolishing the IRS and repealing Obamacare as they are, the junior senator from the Lone Star State seems to turn people off wherever he goes.
Many Hispanics — even independent and moderate Republican ones — are horrified by him. Cruz gets slammed not only for his ultra-conservative political views and his inability to speak Spanish, but particularly for his belief that current and former immigrants living in the U.S. illegally should not be eligible for citizenship.
A recent Latino Decisions poll found that 69 percent of Hispanic voters view Rubio more favorably for stating that the 11 million unauthorized immigrants deserve compassion. Only 28 percent view Cruz more favorably in light of his anti-citizenship stance.
But personality matters in politics. If Cruz were more convivial it would be easier for Cruz to get away with sticking to his convictions.
Seen as a politically expedient figure, Cruz ticked off fellow Republican senators by openly criticizing them for their behind-the-scenes complaints of his strident anti-gun-control stance and filibuster threats before the bill on background checks failed in the Senate.
A few months ago, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., called Cruz a "wacko bird" for his brusque politicking on the Hill — a moniker Cruz has proudly adopted. Vice President Joe Biden described Cruz as some sort of politically absolutist bogeyman, who, along with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has the ability "to cower the bulk of the Republican Party in the Senate."
Most of all, Cruz fails on that ever-important Republican stumbling block of "tone." He seems constantly scowling.
Hey, some people like that. And, at times, it's even warranted — but it's hard to warm to.
Not that Cruz needs any warmth from the likes of moderates; he's got plenty of gushing fans. And regardless of how much anyone dislikes his tone or apparent lack of esteem for his political elders, Cruz — like Rubio — conspicuously represents a community that so far has not been able to rise to superstar status as issue-movers or potential presidential candidates in the Democratic Party.
In this spotlight, Cruz and Rubio represent two fundamental truths: Republicans, like Hispanics, are an ideologically diverse bunch. And, no matter the outcome of this immigration reform battle, the profile of Latinos in American politics has been elevated.

Fuji Heavy Industries, the maker of Subaru automobiles, forecasts at least 6 percent growth in U.S. sales for Subaru in 2013.
The CEO of Subaru of America, Takeshi Tachimori, said the brand will maintain its growing momentum in North America, with U.S. sales expected to reach at least 350,000 vehicles next year. The executive added that the gains will help Subaru achieve its longer-term sales target ahead of schedule.
"Obviously, the U.S. is the most important market for Subaru," Takeshi Tachimori said, adding that sales in the region could account for 60 percent of Subaru's targeted global sales of one million units within the decade.
Tachimori's remarks indicate the Japanese carmaker's growing confidence in the essential role of the North American market in its future growth. However, since much of Subaru's production is still based in Japan, the company must cope with the disadvantage of the strong yen, that dents its exports. The strong Japanese currency affects the price competitiveness of the cars it makes in Japan.
To solve this problem, Fuji Heavy Industries is planning to ramp up its U.S. production capacity by 2014, Tachimori said. He added that Subaru's sales in the United States this year are expected to rise 24 percent to 330,000 units, recovering from 2011's problems caused by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Remember Me
So once again a group of OTS'ers descended on Cobham hall for the 4th swim camp. This year we trialed the incorporation of lessons, so we had swim school along side swim camp. According to all who attending it was a great hit and something we hope to repeat.
Friday night session was a hard two hour session and was harder on the lungs than we had imagined due to extra strong chlorine. However, we all survived and after the session we all sat around the big dinner table in the common room eating cake and drinking a beer or two! An hour later we were joined by the ducklings who were just buzzing from their first session.
Saturday morning brought another challenge - swimming through a sea of mist! But in true OTS style the session was adapted 4 lanes went into 2 and a great set of singles was completed!
Land training brought swim camp and swim school together working in the gym on a circuit session with only two swimmers missing and James working harder on taking his photos rather than the exercises at each station. While this was happening we finally got the chlorine/mist/fog problem sorted (half the problem was we ran out of gas!) What was so lovely is that these problems did not put a cloud over the camp and in fact brought us all closer together.
Saturday evening saw us complete another 2 hour set, another hour for the swim school and then a fabulous meal from the school kitchen; if only all school dinners could taste this good.
Sunday morning was a mixture of technique and then relays with the swim school joining in too. Once again we were blessed with great weather and many took advantage of this to explore the grounds of Cobham - They truely are amazing. So once again another successful swim camp and a successful first swim school camp.
Some more photos are available here.
Another year .. another GLLAM ..
On Saturday, 16 March 2013, Out to Swim hosted its annual competition at the Queen Mother Sports Centre in Victoria. Lots of great swimming, with demonstrations from the synchro and diving teams.
A huge thanks must go to the organising team (Gareth, Mike, Iarla, Chris, James, Oonagh, Philip, Sion and Oliver) and of course all the volunteers who gave up their afternoon to help make it a great success.
For your enjoyment, some photos.
The official results can be found here:
Here is the write up from last year's event.
Happy New Year to all OTS members!
After a short glitch in the smooth functioning of our website at the end of 2012, we're back in 2013 with news of some extra pool time at a new location.
From Weds 9th of January the Development Lane will shift from Orchard Lisle pool at London Bridge to Ironmonger Row pool near Old Street, from 8 to 9pm.
We will have two lanes, instead of one, and we will be able to accommodate more new swimmers coming up from the lessons.
Here is a link to the new location: http://www.better.org.uk/leisure/ironmonger-row-baths.
Also check out the updated venues and times page for details of all our sessions and of reopenings after the Christmas holidays.

The Goji Juice Scam
The Goji Juice Scam
The words goji juice scam could be interpreted as a reference to a single of two really different scams. Navigating To per your request possibly provides lessons you can use with your brother. One particular scam would relate to the good quality of the advertised goji juice. As an example, an advertisement that did not mention Himalayan goji berries could be noticed as a goji juice scam as only the Himalayan berries have a nutritional profile that contains close to a single dozen various components. While there is at least a single goji juice scam that deprives consumers of a high top quality goji juice, there is yet a second, no less dangerous form for the goji juice scam. The second scam issues the nature of details with regards to 1 mineral in the goji juice. The second scam leaves out all of the obtainable data about the mineral known as selenium.
Selenium is a mineral that can help to lower a mans risk of prostate cancer, can be added to the diet program by drinking goji juice. Selenium has the ability to slow or prevent the occurrence of cancer. Researchers have linked seleniums cancer-fighting skills to the action of particular enzymes. The mineral aids the production of these enzymes, as a result giving the mineral the capacity to ward-off cancer dangers. At the present time research has shown that a day-to-day intake of at least 70 micrograms of selenium really should be the target of all who wish to stay totally free of cancer. To learn more, please consider looking at: open in a new browser. To read more, we recommend you take a view at: mobe review. Now the supplying of such data on selenium must not be observed as a goji juice scam. If, even so, the imparter of that info tried to encourage the every day intake of more than 70 micrograms of selenium, then that could be seen as a goji juice scam. To read additional info, consider having a look at: go. That is due to the fact it is feasible for a person to consume too considerably selenium.
If a person had been to consume a quantity far above 100 micrograms per day, then that excess quantity of selenium could result in nausea, poor breath, rash, dizziness, weakness and cold symptoms. Further, consuming far more than 60 micrograms of selenium per day is negative for pregnant women because a high intake of selenium has appeared to be linked to birth complications. A man who desires to avoid prostate cancer requirements a slightly different diet than a woman who is carrying a child. That data ought to be included in any literature about selenium. That reality must also be mentioned in an advertisement for goji juice or on its packaging as the failure to highlight that fact might be seen as a goji juice scam..

If no one has noticed I'm a planner. I love planning our curriculum. Nothing like a nicely ordered book shelf to increase my happiness levels.
I'm a firm believer in the adage 'fail to plan, plan to fail'. However, I believe a good home ed plan (for us) needs flexibility, needs to, in practice, feel relaxed, spontaneous and unplanned. I ask a lot!
I have no doubt children learn best when they are leading and shaping the way so Sam's opinion and my experience of what works for him are the most important considerations. But I believe there are some essential skills and knowledge children need to learn to have doors open to them and that life is easier with a certain level of general knowledge/cultural literacy. Pretty much anything can be boring or interesting depending on the presentation, my job is to make as much as possible engaging to Sam.
My key starting points:
We need variety; short lessons and a range of style of resources.
With a good routine things feel effortless, routine is important but it needs to be flexible enough to absorb illness/days out etc.
Have a small set of achievable goals. Keep these very realistic. Plan beyond them, aim for more but don't get disheartened if you don't keep up.
Prep ahead! In term time I need things to just tick along. The more I've prepped the more we manage to do. But not too far, as it's easier to jettison things not working if you haven't spent hours prepping.
Alongside the one above be organised. Place for every thing and every thing in it's place.
Question the educational value of all resources you use and adapt as needed. Is there any benefit to writing something down when they can say it? Is there any point in continuing doing practice sums at maths when they've obviously grasped the idea?
Year Goals
Bold = First level priority, italics= second level, text = that would be nice if we can fit it in 🙂 In terms of judging success at the end of the year, failure on first level priority is a 'should I consider school' response, failure on second level says tweaking to approach/resources needed
Overall numeracy and literacy remain main concerns but start decreasing importance and increasing focus on science/humanities.
Start to encourage more writing across the board as prep for KS3 but make sure it is meaningful.
Continue building basic literacy, more work on grammar and vocabulary
Maths – no learning objectives at all, build confidence and make fun
Languages – Latin and Spanish – build up vocab, continue with discipline of regular practice
Some Science reading and activity every week. Focus on consolidating knowledge. Have a scrapbook to show at end of year.
History and Geog – don't let projects drift. Reduce number of field trips to allow more time for other aspects to get better balance.
Do more group socialising. Less individual. Reduce demands on time and guilt levels.
Work through programming books
Regular exercise
Learn about the stories behind diff religions.
Read aloud regularly
Works of diff artists
More time for walking/outdoors
We don't have a timetable as such. We have a rhythm and a routine to our weeks and days. Always a new one for a new year as we tweak the social side.
Our core basics (Maths, English, Languages and reading basket) I plan to a four day week. The four days might be a different four days week by week to accommodate trips/events/mood. I do allocate dates on a planner to individual tasks for Maths and English to try and make sure we progress along at a reasonable pace but this is very much a guide and I plan by week rather than by day. I plot in catch up weeks every now and again at times I suspect we might have got a bit behind. Plus try and have a very light schedule for the last half term as June is always a hayfever blur.
Year schedule (note this is a work in progress, waiting to see how somethings work before planning further)
It works best to get up and get on with core work first thing and ideally finished by 10.30. Leaving rest of time clear for the more hands on/going out stuff.
We try and have a couple of regular social things on the calendar and everything else gets slotted in around those and one off events. Aiming for 2 days a week that are 'ours' (no regular commitments) this year.
It's hard to explain but I have a mental priority list of how things slot in. I tend to over plan so when I look at science or project plans I know we probably won't get through all of it but I have in my mind the most important. What is most important will change as we go based on previous work.
Diary then gets done on a week by week basis. I don't use a proper diary, use a notebook instead for flexibility. Start off with dates on the calendar and idea of regular events. Then on one page of notebook have a list of the core tasks for English and Maths. Then Science, project, RE. Then have a column for carried overs. Finally a list for extra ideas and at the bottom anything needed to be done for future prep or collected for that week. On the opposite page have the days and allocate things to days as I can. This is new approach so very much work in progress. Will sometimes allocate stuff on day by day basis so we have a lot of flexibility.
Details on individual plans can be found on the below links.

Syngenta Plans PR Drive to Boost Perception of Crop Chemicals
Syngenta AG (SYNN), the Swiss farm supplier trying to prevent a European Union ban on its thiamethoxam chemical over suspected bee deaths, will spend more on communications to boost the image of its products.
''We increasingly spend time on this at a real high level,'' Chief Executive Officer Michael Mack said at a conference in Basel today. The largest maker of crop chemicals will announce plans this year to improve its "outreach" to persuade the public that farmers need advanced technologies to meet rising demand for food over the next decades.
The EU's two-year restrictions on neonicotinoid pesticides clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam will come into force in December, affecting sales of chemicals sold by Syngenta and Leverkusen, Germany-based competitor Bayer AG. (BAYN) Syngenta sees "a lot of support" for thiamethoxam in the U.S., even as authorities there continue to review neonicotinoids, Chief Operating Officer John Atkin said in an interview today.
A group of American beekeeping associations sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency this year, seeking to appeal its approval of Dow Chemical Co. (DOW)'s Sulfoxaflor neonicotinoid pesticide. In the U.K., more than 328,000 people have signed a petition to ban pesticides which they say harm bees.
The EPA began a review of neonicotinoid insecticides in December, a process which takes multiple years, Syngenta spokesman Paul Barrett said.
''People are fed a high dose of a romanticized, idealistic sense of agriculture that everything is natural,'' Mack said today. Customers of food companies "have fallen in love with food and nature coming together. The last 10 years it wasn't as simple as that," he said.

I love these videos, because the jaguar is simultaneously acting very much like a cat (playing around) and very much not like a cat (playing in the water).
I think it's the end-stress that lends some words to becoming one syllable - like the word jaguar goes from 'JAG-u-er' to
Now thoroughly assimilated into English, the word jaguar' is borrowed from Tupi or Lngua Geral, a language once spoken by millions all over Portuguese Brazil and now probably destined to disappear, since no more than a few hundred speakers remain.
When someone is searching for the word "jaguar," Google would have a better idea of whether the person was interested in the animal or the car."
While, this is very cool when looking at something very general like their suggested search "jaguar" -- this is what I get when I type in my own name:
In Mexico, the jaguar has been a popular mythological creature dating to pre-Hispanic times.

Daily Topic for September 23, 2011
Throughout South Asia, naan and other forms of bread are staple foods. Everyone knows that they need food, and people like the Nanbais provide it. But one thing the Nanbais don't understand, be they Muslim or Hindu, Indian or Nepali, is that they need the Bread of Life. When Christ said this, He was indicating how essential He is to our spiritual life. Do we understand this well enough to pray fervently for them to meet their needed Savior?
Pray that you will intercede for peoples like the Nanbais as desperately as you would if they lacked physical rather than spiritual food.
by GEC
Saleem slaps dough between his palms. Quickly the ball flattens and grows longer. Automatically he slaps the thin naan (bread) to the side wall inside his tandoor oven.
Saleem works on the street in Nepal. He uses his bare hands to knead the dough, slap it into shape, and attach it in the oven. Soon he removes the steaming bread and serves me. His last name, Nanbai, tells me he comes from a community where fathers teach their young sons how to make naan. Likely, he will spend his life making naan, for he is a master at his craft. And Nepal, like all countries in the sub-continent, thrives on naan.
I comment, "Saleem, you are Muslim. Yet the Hindus accept you." He replies, "Sir, yes. I am Muslim. But my bread does not know the difference between Muslim and Hindu. We practice our faith in this Hindu country of Nepal. As long as we do not cause problems for the Hindus, they allow us our religion."
The Nanbai form a tiny community in Nepal. Most of their people group lives in Pakistan or India. Muslim Nanbais are even rarer, for their people are mostly Hindu.Learn more at joshuaproject.net
Pray that Bibles, Christian literature, and gospel recordings will find their way to Saleem and his fellow Nanbai bread makers. Pray that the Bread of Life, Jesus, will reveal himself to this isolated group.
Next day: Halwai People of Nepal
Previous day: Tamboli People

ATWATER — Sharon Washington hit six straight free throws during a pivotal stretch of the fourth quarter Tuesday night at Buhach Colony and Buffs went on to claim victory, 52-42.
"Sharon wanted the ball in her hands," Manteca head coach Andrea Hiatt said. "Both Cynthia (Perez) and Kristi (Llamas) fouled out early in the fourth, which allowed (BC) back into it.
"We had blown it open early."
Manteca led 17-6 after one, and 25-15 at the break.
Washington finished with 19 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals, while Davina Bennett put up 13 points and 11 boards.
Perez finished with 11, five rebounds and three steals.
Manteca (5-3) begins the Tracy tournament Dec. 26.
The usual suspects were back at it Tuesday for the Lancers as Ashley Rose (18 points, 5 rebounds) drained three more triples, and Rachel O'Neal came up huge on the glass (15 rebounds, 5 offensive).
Rachel McDaniel had a rare goose egg in the scoring column, but it didn't matter as McDaniel handled the rock with ease, racking up seven assists and snagging three steals.
Shalane Jackson was once again in top form, scoring 10 and grabbing 10 rebounds for her third double-double of the young season.
"O'Neal's rebounding was really good," EU head coach Jim Agostini said. "We moved Shalane around a bit and that loosened some things up for us. Ashley hit three more three's, just another night of senior leadership from her and from Rachel (McDaniel)."
Lexy Posz was once again all over the court, grabbing four rebounds, four steals and four assists.
Genia Alston also had a nice night, collecting five rebounds.
The Lancers (6-0) travel to Ripon Friday.
Jessica Blythe and Paulina Ceja both went for 10, and Kendra Contente had seven.
Skye Dominguez and Lauren Feddersen both chipped in six.
"It wasn't the prettiest win, but we'll take it," Ripon head coach George Contente said. "It was just one of those games. We didn't start well, even though we had the lead."
Rachel Rodriguez finished with four and Adrianna Mayberry had three.
Ripon hosts East Union Friday night.

Dynamo's Davis finalist for MLS MVP honor
Updated 11:15 pm, Monday, November 7, 2011
A day after his Dynamo teammates serenaded him with chants of "MVP! MVP! MVP!" as they celebrated their Eastern Conference title, All-Star midfielder Brad Davis was announced as one of three finalists for the 2011 Major League Soccer Most Valuable Player award.
Davis, who led the league with a career-high 16 assists, is a finalist along with former Dynamo teammate Dwayne De Rosario, a midfielder for D.C. United, and College Station native Brek Shea, the U.S. national team midfield- er who plays for FC Dal- las.
The winner of the MVP award will be announced Nov. 18.
"It's an honor," said Davis, 30, who also is a finalist for the league's Humanitarian of the Year award. "It's been a great year with this team. Just to be mentioned with those two guys is an honor.
"Dwayne had a great finish to the season, and Brek had a great break- out year. To be mentioned with those guys, I'm honored. Hopefully, I can get it."
Davis also had two assists in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Philadelphia Union, but he tore his right quadri- ceps in the 36th minute of the Dynamo's 2-0 victory over Sporting Kan- sas City in the Eastern Conference championship match.
Barring an unlikely recovery, he doesn't expect to play in the MLS Cup Nov. 20 against the L.A. Galaxy at Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.
"He's one of those guys that you can't replace," goalkeeper Tally Hall said. "He's got something that makes him a special player."
Davis welcomed the MVP talk.
"You're a player, and you take pride in how you do," Davis said earlier this season. "You want people to recognize the things you do.
"Most importantly, you want to help your team win. That's what you're out there to do. It's not necessarily I'm going out here to play to wow everybody. You're going out there to do what you need to do to help your team win and get three points.
"If people notice that, that's fantastic."

Dr Shastri has graduated with a Master's degree in clinical oncology at an age when many executives are considering retirement. Dr Shastri is the chairman of InsureCancer, the UK's only specialist advanced cancer travel insurer who offers cover to people with active, metastatic, relapsed and terminal cancer. Travellers with cancer are often unable to find realistic cover options and are forced to travel without insurance, but InsureCancer aims to get them decent cover. The company has long been developing its expertise in order to write realistic travel insurance policies for patients. Dr Shastri started his degree in 2012 to keep on top of advances in the field of cancer treatment. "I am grateful to Birmingham Medical School for its commitment to lifelong learning which allowed me to enrol on one of the leading clinical oncology courses in the country," said Dr Shastri. "This course has provided a unique insight to latest cancer therapies, including advances in patient specific targeted immunotherapy. I will ensure that we will engage this knowledge to innovate and to help more cancer patients." As well as being the managing director of InsureCancer, Dr Shastri is also the chairman of the Travel Underwriters Group.

The notifications generated by write can currently be enabled and disabled only through an "all-on" or "all-off" mechanism - it doesn't leave room for user- or group-specific permissions because it's based on the mode of the TTY special file.ACL support in devpts would allow much more fine-grained control of who is allowed and who is denied access to writing messages on your terminal.This would come in very handy and I personally believe it should be possible to have such control.Sorry for the random post and thanks for considering this reason,Catalin Patulea>> Cheers,> --> Andreas Gruenbacher <firstname.lastname@example.com>> SUSE Labs, SUSE LINUX GMBH>> -> To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in> the body of a message to firstname.lastname@example.com> More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html> Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/>>-----------------------------------------Catalin Patulea VV Volunteer 2002,3http://vv.carleton.ca/~cat/ VV HI 2004,firstname.lastname@example.com unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to email@example.com majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlPlease read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
