Even in the hot phase up to KDE 4.3.0, there have been quite a bunch of fixes to KDE's 4.3 branch. The KDE Release Team has decided to err on the safe side and do another release candidate before KDE 4.3.0 comes out. Dirk Müller has rolled tarballs of the current state of KDE 4.3 and put them up for testers, packages for some distributions are already under way. This also means that the release of KDE 4.3.0 has been postponed for one week. The new planned release date is August, 4th 2009.
One notable change since RC2 is a performance fix for Plasma's caching of rendered SVG graphics that lead to the applet being frozen for a short while after resizing it. A regression that cropped up after RC2, and which resulted in HTTP redirects being broken has been fixed in RC3 as well.
Please give this KDE 4.3 RC3 some good testing to make sure KDE 4.3.0 will be as flawless as possible.
The Techbase schedule says "July 28th, 2009: Tag KDE 4.3 Assuming there is only one release candidate, trunk is frozen for KDE 4.3 tagging." It should be updated to three RCs.
feel free to do so! It might be a small thing, but it is a worthwhile contribution nonetheless...
I've been testing RC2 for a couple of days now. No crashes, only a few minor issues here and there. Overall, 4.3 seems to be in a really good shape. Kudos to all developers!
Dolphin became unusable for me with RC1. RC2 didn't fix things. It hangs for most operations, when selecting most files, moving, copying etc. Other than that KDE seems rock solid at this point.
There once were times when new releases of KDE spawned discussion. Lots of comments, positive, negative, fanboys and flames.
Nowadays reading the dot has really becoming one of the more boring aspects of internet surfing. As a KDE user and part-time bug reporter reading the dot is, I have to admit it, not of too much interest nowadays.
No more flames because of the misplaced KDE4 release cycle, which is history nowadays, but maybe two or three nice comments to some news article. Yawn. No reason for me as an interested KDE user to read a bit longer on the dot.
Was that what you all wanted when changing the dot? I've been an avid reader of the dot for years, but nowadays it is just boring...
Please please please change the comment system again to allow the unregistered community to take part again. The times of KDE4 flamewars are long over, please make the dot free again!!!
I agree with allowing anonymous comments. Not because I miss any flamewars though, just to attract more people to post. Anonymous comments should have a negative score though (below the visible threshold) and could, of course, be promoted to visibility by registered users.
It leaves more time for getting real work done. Keeping us entertained is less important than developing a great desktop.
I think another factor is the loss (for completely understandable reasons, of course) of Danny's wonderful updates. They were detailed enough that it provided a lot of material for discussion.
now as you mention it... I'm missing the commit-digest- It gave so much insight to the ongoing developments in a way that even non-developers could follow.
Of course it was also a great source for all types of discussions (in fact mostly due to people with no expertise in programming misunderstanding some concepts)...but it was always a pleasure to read the digest and the comments...
it is possible to login using openid. allowing anonymous comments would make dot almost unreadable - finding useful posts between all the crap got too hard for me at some point. at least now stupid comment percentage has dropped significantly :)
Problem: KDE 4.0 release causes trouble with community on the dot.
Solution: Developers detach from community feedback on the dot.
Problem solved, or not? Lets remember the good times and be happy it lasted so long. Just be worried if somebody does a KDE 5 in a community with disabled learning ability.
You make it sound like (always) the developers were at fault for 4.0. While I won't go over this topic because it's like beating a dead horse, I would like to point out that some of the comments at the time were way more than simply offensive: of course, a lot of people thought that respect and politeness didn't matter on the Internet.
This was a way to deal with inflammatory and insulting comments. I hardly call it "detaching from community feedback".
the way to deal with purely inflammatory or insulting comments is to delete them or to move them out of sight. No doubt about that, just because a developer makes mistakes is no ground for personal attacks to be tolerated.
But I don't think that was it. I think developers just didn't like the feedback how much it sucked. You just need to read blogs about 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 to hear from developers themselves how much it sucked before, but is now great, this time really.
Truth is 4.3 appears to be a solid release, finally. It was a long time. Too long. And damaging to the community, just because parts of it have stopped to communicate with other parts of it.
Lets begin the healing.
Yes sure,
that definitely had to be modded down, didn't it? I was thinking that the content was not particularily bad.
Moderation by popularity vote can't work. I would prefer that chosen people have the ability to delete comments as they see fit according to clear rules of theirs.
The problem with user moderation is that many tend to mod down comments they don't agree with and up the ones that coincide with their view point. That is NOT what moderation is for. It should be to get rid of rubbish comments (spam, trolls, off-topic,...) and make the particular interesting ones stand up.
I really don't like the alternative where comments are deleted. Despite the moderation, your comment is visible. And even if it gets hidden it will still be there for all to see, just one click away.
I've almost stopped reading this site at all, I just follow it through rss feed.
The new layout is just terrible, with fixed width, insane line distances and lots of wasted space, so when I come here it just pisses me off...
Yes, I'm still on KDE3, since KDE4 for me still is just a huge pile of annoyances. I only run KDE4 on a test machine at home in hopes that it will become better, but so far I've seen nothing that indicates that. Btw - any tip on how to turn off nepomuk/strigi/wtf crap alltogether? I dont need no frigging desktop search engine, I'm actually capable of keeping track of my own data by myself.
I'm at office with KDE 3.5 but if my memory doesn't fail me, in 4.3 RC3 you go to Desktop Configuration, pick the Advanced Configuration tab, and you should have Desktop Search there somewhere.
I only run KDE4 on a test machine at home in hopes that it will become better, but so far I've seen nothing that indicates that.
Well, that is your own personal opinion. I can not move back to KDE3.5 anymore because it really does not offer features what I need. Since KDE 4.3 the last thing what kept "away" came implented. Every virtual desktop having own widgets and wallpaper. And the reason what force me to use KDE4 (even that I would like to use KDE3) is that applications for KDE3.5 can not be latest versions if I do not want to mix versions (what I do not).
But it is still nice that some people likes KDE 3.5. Hopefully will change someday... :)
Btw - any tip on how to turn off nepomuk/strigi/wtf crap alltogether?
It should not be enabled by default.
But if you use such distribution what does such wierd config then:
- Open up system settings (Configure your Desktop)
- Open the Advanced tab
- Click the "Desktop Search"
- Uncheck both of the options
- Click Apply and close window
The Nepomuk actually does speed up your working environment. Just add tags to files (different projects, downloads via KGet etc) and place a folderview plasmoid to desktop/panel with nepomuksearch:/tag:
I agree with you. Free speech should be promoted, even though it might sound negative at times I am sure that it won't kill any of the devs ;) On a serious note though, I strongly support unregistered users having the opportunity of sharing their views. Even negative comments cand be helpful sometimes.
Is that a pre-release version? It's the buggiest KDE version I've ever seen since 4.0.2 (including all minor and major versions and last release candidates of every major version)! Plasma crashes randomly, I can't connect to my wireless network anymore via network manager applet, taskbar is resising my panel without any order, sometimes, after crash plasma settings are not restored! Desktop effects are much slower than in 4.2. When browsing kickoff applications menu, it goes back one level randomly, and so on...Am I the only who has that lot of problems?
I don't have the problems you mention with RC2. Regarding the plasma chrashes, do you have third party plasmoids? You could try to rename the ~/.kde/share/config/plasma* files and see it the crashes stop.
BTW, the network management plasmoid is not yet released. It is still in playground afaik. If you have it, it means that your distribution package not yet ready software like kubuntu, which I use, but I don't have problems with the wifi.
No third party plasmoids on my desktop...Also, I've deleted my .kde4 folder from kde 4.2.4 before upgrade. I have to say - crashes are beggining to stop: an hour ago, plasma crashed after starting any application, but now firefox, amarok, dolphin are starting OK, if i start any other application, plasma still crashes.
I know that nm-plasmoid is not released, but with kde 4.2.4 i only had problems with hidden wifi. Now i cannot connect any wifi networks
Is .kde4 a typo or is your KDEHOME really .kde4?
It's not a typo...
The problem is probably related to Kubuntu packages. While KDE works perfectly in Arch I have problems in Kubuntu - dolphin crashes when I want to see properties of root partition, there are missing translations (sic!) etc. Try something better, because Kubuntu it the worst "KDE" distro in my opinion.
>I've compiled it from official tarballs
Oops, I noticed this after posting :) However, I still consider KDE in Kubuntu sucks a lot...
...Kubuntu uses ~/.kde for its KDE packages, and the poster himself has professed to use self-compiled packages. Please stop bashing Kubuntu if you have no proof, and haven't done your homework, or even read down a few comments.
Yes, he does, but I used Kubuntu and the KDE in this distro is piece of bull. Like I mentioned before Dolphin crashes, there are missing translations, windows don't keep their positions etc. etc. while in Arch KDE is perfect. I have proofs, but they're already in launchpad (it seems no one's interested...). However, it seems you're a Kubuntu fanboy... It's not perfect, surprised? Btw. Kubuntu used .kde4, but this isn't important.
Most Dolphin crash reports in Launchpad would not be packaging problems, but rather upstream bugs. Translations have improved greatly in 9.04, and the window positioning bug has been fixed since Kubuntu 9.04. (Or, at least the bug I'm thinking you're talking about) Once again, bashing distros whenever somebody is having problems because you have had issues in the past is a bad idea. ;-)
I tested the newest Kubuntu and I even installed new KDE from backports (4.2.4, because 4.3 isn't translated to my language there ;)). However, they missed translations and this is the most annoying :/ I hope they will take this into consideration, because believe or not Kubuntu is my primary distro :)
Regards :)
Well, I test kubuntu on it's every release or KDE main release and I follow kubuntus launchpad bugs and I can not find many of the bugs related to KDE on other distributions (like fedora, mandriva and opensuse). So I can say that most of the bugs are not in upstream but on kubuntu itself. I would like to recommended the kubuntu because many choose ubuntu for their first distribution. But kubuntu just push such bull to your face with KDE so I always suggest using other distribution if they want good KDE experience.
And I have not find way to see kubuntus bugs on bugs.kde.org. It is not nice to have two database for bugs. But maybe it is good because we get many bugs what are Kubuntu only, keeped away.
Hm, i really don't have those problems. Did you fill your bugs on bugs.kde.org?
But as i said, i really don't have any of your problems. From where did you get your kde 4.3 rc3?
You might actually check your ram with memcheck. or other hardware. because kde 4.3 really should not be that buggy. worth a try. by the way, do you get backtraces?
I don't think so, because KDE 4.2.4 (also compiled from official tarballs) was working just perfect. At the start, i was getting backtraces (saying something about qtnetwork, qtcore or so), but after few hours plasma started to crash without backtraces
Just run memcheck once, won't hurt you (you already have it installed ;-) )
Because sometimes it happens that different versions of a software use different amount of ram, so one might turn just fine and the other happens to use the broken part of the ram all the time. It happend to me more than once, thats why i advice you to test with memcheck (best is just after a crash, perhaps it's also a overheating problem)
Hi I just compiled from tar balls and the release is brilliant. One small request: I can see that changing
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
gives a big performance boost for radeon (open source) driver. Can you put that information in "tooltips" of "Configure desktop effects".
Thanks and keep the good work going.
Giving the user more details which options he/she should choose for optimum desktop effects would generally be good. I really don't know what many of these options do.
How about a database with recommended settings for typical setups?
I think we're probably in string freeze. Maybe report it as a wish at bugs.kde.org and it can go into 4.3.1 or similar.
Those information can change quite frequently as drivers get updated by the vendors. Also there are a lot of different graphic cards out there, so you can't really put everything in those tool tips.
KDE already hase a place to collect information of that kind, and thats a wiki called Userbase (http://userbase.kde.org). You will find an article there regarding graphics card optimization:
This article points to exactly the configuration option you mentioned.
Please consider adding additional information to improve this article.
A Google search will also turn up warnings about using EXA with Radeon. So, it isn't that simple.
EXA for 2D acceleration is the default with current drivers. It might be that your distribution is not uptodate, but you won't have to worry with its next release.
I always use kde as my linux desktop, and I love it.
thank you!
When will comes the improvement in the folders? I miss the consistency in their look. So the home-folder and root-folder looks different to the normal folder-icon - very notable in the smaller formats. This is something what I dislike totally.
The next one is the device-icon (monitor with the half cd above - plasamoid on panel): It's only in 128x128 and is only scaled by the system. It doesn't look so good.
The weather-icons are nice. But I miss them in small sizes, too. In small you can't recognize if it's raining now or only cloudy. It's too blured ...
The Media-Buttons I like them from Gnome much more. If stay with them, so I will hope for a better manual correction by hand. Right now they aren't so good. Wlan on Panel is too strange, too. Here I would replace it.
Hope to got here some improvements in the next versions of KDE (4.4 or 4.5). Only the detail and good work in EyeCandy can match against the fine Mac-look (prof. Icon-work).
Although I appreciate the work done on Plasma, I'd be interested to know if any progress has been made since KDE 4.2 regarding printing. In 4.2, the printing system was barely usable (Guessing what kind of printed output Konqueror would give from a webpage required for sure some metaphysical skills... :p) and lacked a lot of functionalities from the 3.5's KPrinter application.
I know printing is probably way more boring to work on than fancy SVG graphics, but also a little bit more important for office uses, so any information about the status of that part of KDE 4.3?
I have to agree to that. Printing is horrible with KDE 4.2.4 (Fedora 11). E.g. I didn't manage to print a landscape PDF in landscape. It was always printed in portrait and cropped! Other things like multiple pages per slide don't work right either. (Finally I used my mothers Mac to print!) I really miss the printing system and polishedness from KDE 3.5 and kpdf. It seems to be not all KDEs fault, though, because on one point cupsd did hang with 100% CPU usage. However, Mac OS X also uses CUPS! So why it's not working as good under Linux?
Printing is better in 4.3 IME, but there are still some features missing like odd/even page printing.
KDE now relies on Qt for printing due to man power and general interest levels: it's a LOT of work to build and then maintain a printing system and very, very few people are both knowledgeable enough and have the desire to work on it.
unfortunately for us, there was only so much input we could have in the Qt development process. the Qt developers gathered a LOT of feedback from the KDE community on printing and made a lot of improvements based on that .. but still, what developers in the KDE community that we did have who were interested in working on printing could hack right on the upstream Qt sources.
now that Qt is on gitorious and publicly developed, however, we can apply our modest manpower to the situation too! so i'm quite optimistic about how things will move from here on out: Qt can provide manpower to maintain the core infrastructure (esp cross-platform stuff) and extend the UI's capabilities, and we can provide direct effort on the features and polish points our users need.
so, for instance, odd/even page printing is available on a qt branch on gitorious, thanks to John Layt. :)
you can read more about this on John Layt's blog: http://www.layt.net/john/
Glad to hear that at least something is done. :)
The printing system in KDE 3.5 was a major selling point when I explained to people why I use Linux. Nowadays printing on KDE (+Fedora Linux) is much worse than on Windows and Mac OS X.
Isn't it possible to get a GSoC student to improve on the situation? Hm, I plan to be no student next summer any more, so I can't apply. (I don't think I will be fast enough, though. So who knows.) Without payment this task is really not interesting enough for me to help out, sorry. (GSoC is timed badly for austrian students anyway, because our summer break is from July to September and all the exams/due dates are in June.)
"Isn't it possible to get a GSoC student to improve on the situation?"
now that Qt is fully open for development, i think so, yes.
"Without payment this task is really not interesting enough for me to help out"
that's really the root of the issue here :) it's a major selling point you've used with others, you really appreciated it yourself but ... not interesting enough to help out with unless someone pays you.
i'm not blaming you at all, it just demonstrates why we had to take the route we ultimately did.
if Qt had not been on the road to opening up, it would have made me a lot more nervous. as it was, it was just a matter of being patient and waiting for that to happen. now, we just need focus all actually available resources on it. :)
I saw in some screenshots that KDE 4.3 ... ist going to the side of the look-like from Bespin. If it's true so I am going to be sad - very sad. For my gust Bespin shouldn't be an example for the future default-theming ... *sorry

It's been a downward spiral for Paula Deen since news of her deposition testimony as part of a racial discrimination suit went public last week.
On Tuesday, a few days following her video apology, her two sons, Jamie and Bobby, appeared on CNN to defend their mom amid the racial controversy, saying that they've never heard her talk the way she did in the deposition.
The brothers made the case that their mother is not a racist and that the N-word is not in their vocabulary. "We were not raised in a home where that word was used," Bobby said. He says this is a case of extortion and character assassination.
As part of the fallout, Food Network was quick to announce it was ending Deen's contract. And she has also lost a lucrative gig endorsing pork for Smithfield Foods.
But her food empire, estimated to be worth $6.5 million a year, hasn't fully crumbled.
Though some retailers may be feeling the pressure to end their relationships, for now, Paula Deen Cookwareis still on sale at Target and other retail stores.
In an email to us, a spokesperson for the popular retailer said, "Target is evaluating the situation."
And Deen continues on as a spokesperson for the diabetes drug manufacturer Novo Nordisk.
In an email, a spokesman for the Victoza brand wrote: "We recognize the seriousness of these allegations and will follow the legal proceedings closely, staying in contact with [Deen]."
Meanwhile, a hostess at the Lady and Sons restaurant, which Deen operates with her sons in Savannah, Ga., said it's business-as-usual this week.
"We're booked up till 3 today," the hostess said of the lunch crowd when I called early this afternoon. That jibes with what The New York Times reported over the weekend, and with the deep connection that fans have told me they feel toward Deen.
Also on for Deen are appearances at the Metro Cooking Show in Washington, D.C., Houston and Dallas this fall.
A statement posted on the event website goes a long way to stand behind the queen of Southern cooking. It reads: "She has apologized, and we are taking her apology at her word."
In stating that Deen will stay on as a presenter at the show this year, the statement concludes, "This is a nation of forgiveness and second chances."

SYSMOUSE(4) | Device Drivers Manual | SYSMOUSE(4) |
virtualized mouse driver
#include <sys/consio.h>
The console driver, in conjunction with the mouse daemon
moused(8), supplies mouse data to the user process in the
standardized way via the sysmouse
driver. This
arrangement makes it possible for the console and the user process (such as
the X Window System) to share the mouse.
The user process which wants to utilize mouse operation simply opens /dev/sysmouse with a open(2) call and reads mouse data from the device via read(2). Make sure that moused(8) is running, otherwise the user process will not see any data coming from the mouse.
Operation Levels¶
The sysmouse
driver has two levels of
operation. The current operation level can be referred to and changed via
ioctl calls.
The level zero, the basic level, is the lowest level at which the
driver offers the basic service to user programs. The
driver provides horizontal and vertical
movement of the mouse and state of up to three buttons in the MouseSystems
format as follows.
- Byte 1
- bit 7
- Always one.
- bit 6..3
- Always zero.
- bit 2
- Left button status; cleared if pressed, otherwise set.

At the level one, the extended level, mouse data is encoded in the
standard format MOUSE_PROTO_SYSMOUSE
as defined in
This section describes two classes of ioctl(2)
commands: commands for the sysmouse
driver itself,
and commands for the console and the console control drivers.
Sysmouse Ioctls¶
There are a few commands for mouse drivers. General description of
the commands is given in mouse(4). Following are the
features specific to the sysmouse
int *level MOUSE_SETLEVEL
int *level- These commands manipulate the operation level of the mouse driver.
mousehw_t *hw- Returns the hardware information of the attached device in the following
structure. Only the iftype field is guaranteed to be
filled with the correct value in the current version of the
driver.typedef struct mousehw { int buttons; /* number of buttons */ int iftype; /* I/F type */ int type; /* mouse/track ball/pad... */ int model; /* I/F dependent model ID */ int hwid; /* I/F dependent hardware ID */ } mousehw_t;
The buttons field holds the number of buttons detected by the driver.
The iftype is always
.The type tells the device type:
, orMOUSE_UNKNOWN
.The model is always
at the operation level 0. It may beMOUSE_MODEL_GENERIC
or one ofMOUSE_MODEL_XXX
constants at higher operation levels.The hwid is always zero.
mousemode_t *mode- The command gets the current operation parameters of the mouse driver.
typedef struct mousemode { int protocol; /* MOUSE_PROTO_XXX */ int rate; /* report rate (per sec) */ int resolution; /* MOUSE_RES_XXX, -1 if unknown */ int accelfactor; /* acceleration factor */ int level; /* driver operation level */ int packetsize; /* the length of the data packet */ unsigned char syncmask[2]; /* sync. bits */ } mousemode_t;
The protocol field tells the format in which the device status is returned when the mouse data is read by the user program. It is
at the operation level zero.MOUSE_PROTO_SYSMOUSE
at the operation level one.The rate is always set to -1.
The resolution is always set to -1.
The accelfactor is always 0.
The packetsize field specifies the length of the data packet. It depends on the operation level.
The array syncmask holds a bit mask and pattern to detect the first byte of the data packet. syncmask[0] is the bit mask to be ANDed with a byte. If the result is equal to syncmask[1], the byte is likely to be the first byte of the data packet. Note that this method of detecting the first byte is not 100% reliable; thus, it should be taken only as an advisory measure.
mousemode_t *mode- The command changes the current operation parameters of the mouse driver as specified in mode. Only level may be modifiable. Setting values in the other field does not generate error and has no effect.
mousedata_t *data MOUSE_READSTATE
mousedata_t *state- These commands are not supported by the
driver. MOUSE_GETSTATUS
mousestatus_t *status- The command returns the current state of buttons and movement counts in the structure as defined in mouse(4).
Console and Consolectl Ioctls¶
The user process issues console
calls to the current virtual console in order to control the mouse pointer.
The console ioctl
() also provides a method for the
user process to receive a signal(3) when a button is
The mouse daemon moused(8) uses
calls to the console control device /dev/consolectl
to inform the console of mouse actions including mouse movement and button
Both classes of
commands are defined as CONS_MOUSECTL
which takes
the following argument.
struct mouse_info { int operation; union { struct mouse_data data; struct mouse_mode mode; struct mouse_event event; } u; };
- operation
- This can be one of
- Enables and displays mouse cursor.
- Disables and hides mouse cursor.
- Moves mouse cursor to position supplied in u.data.
- Adds position supplied in u.data to current position.
- Returns current mouse position in the current virtual console and button status in u.data.
- This sets the signal(3) to be delivered to the current process when a button is pressed. The signal to be delivered is set in u.mode.
The above operations are for virtual consoles. The operations defined below are for the console control device and are used by moused(8) to pass mouse data to the console driver.
- These operations take the information in u.data
and act upon it. Mouse data will be sent to the
driver if it is open.MOUSE_ACTION
also processes button press actions and sends signal to the process if requested or performs cut and paste operations if the current console is a text interface. MOUSE_BUTTON_EVENT
- u.data specifies a button and its click count. The console driver will use this information for signal delivery if requested or for cut and paste operations if the console is in text mode.
are newer interface and are designed to be used together. They are intended to replace functions performed byMOUSE_ACTION
alone. - u
- This union is one of
- data
struct mouse_data { int x; int y; int z; int buttons; };
x, y and z represent movement of the mouse along respective directions. buttons tells the state of buttons. It encodes up to 31 buttons in the bit 0 though the bit 30. If a button is held down, the corresponding bit is set.
- mode
struct mouse_mode { int mode; int signal; };
The signal field specifies the signal to be delivered to the process. It must be one of the values defined in
. The mode field is currently unused. - event
struct mouse_event { int id; int value; };
The id field specifies a button number as in u.data.buttons. Only one bit/button is set. The value field holds the click count: the number of times the user has clicked the button successively.
- /dev/consolectl
- device to control the console
- /dev/sysmouse
- virtualized mouse driver
- /dev/ttyv%d
- virtual consoles
The sysmouse
driver first appeared in
FreeBSD 2.2.

4 Reasons to Buy Your Dream Home This Winter
As the temperature in many areas of the country starts to cool down, you might think that the housing market will do the same. This couldn't be further from the truth! Here are 4 reasons you should consider buying your dream home this winter instead of waiting for spring!
1. Prices Will Continue to Rise
CoreLogic's latest Home Price Index reports that home prices have appreciated by 6.3% over the last 12 months. The same report predicts that prices will continue to increase at a rate of 5.2% over the next year.
The bottom in home prices has come and gone. Home values will continue to appreciate for years. Waiting no longer makes sense.
2. Mortgage Interest Rates are Projected to Increase
Your monthly housing cost is as much related to the price you pay for your home as it is to the mortgage interest rate you secure.
Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey shows that interest rates for a 30-year mortgage are currently at 4.08%. The Mortgage Bankers Association, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac & the National Association of Realtors are in unison, projecting that rates will increase by this time next year.
An increase in rates will impact YOUR monthly mortgage payment. A year from now, your housing expense will increase if a mortgage is necessary to buy your next home.
3. Either Way You're Paying a Mortgage
There are some renters who have not yet purchased a home because they are uncomfortable taking on the obligation of a mortgage. Everyone should realize that, unless you are living with your parents rent free, you are paying a mortgage – either yours or your landlord's.
As an owner, your mortgage payment is a form of 'forced savings' that allows you to have equity in your home that you can tap into later in life. As a renter, you guarantee your landlord is the person with that equity.
Are you ready to put your housing cost to work for you?
4. It's Time to Move on with Your Life
The 'cost' of a home is determined by two major components: the price of the home and the current mortgage rate. It appears that both are on the rise.
But what if they weren't? Would you wait?
Look at the actual reason you are buying and decide whether it is worth waiting. Whether you want to have a great place for your children to grow up, you want your family to be safer or you just want to have control over renovations, maybe now is the time to buy.
If the right thing for you and your family is to purchase a home this year, buying sooner rather than later could lead to substantial savings.

ATF's Gun Tracing System Is A Dud
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is using 1960s era technology to manage a 21st century problem. When will this get fixed?
A key piece of the White House's gun control plan -- the process by which the feds use serial numbers and descriptions to trace the original source of a gun sale -- is at risk of failure. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is using 1960s era technology to manage a 21st century problem. And nothing is being done to fix it.
ATF's Firearms Tracing System lets local, state and federal law enforcement officials determine the "chain of custody" of confiscated weapons. But the ATF's "system" is a national embarrassment. It's mostly a manual process based on the use of microfilm/microfiche, the same technology that libraries used 50 years ago to archive newspapers and magazines.
Here's how the Firearms Tracing System works: When a trace request comes in to ATF's National Tracing Center, often by telephone, employees trek to the microfilm department, where 500 million records are stored. They retrieve microfilm cases from a shelf, search the records using a special reader that magnifies the itsy-bitsy images, and report their findings to the law enforcement agency that put in the request. Urgent requests are turned around within 24 hours, but that's the exception. The process generally takes five days.
That's not nearly good enough. If you've ever used a smartphone to create a digital image of a check for deposit, you're a few tech generations -- and about four days, 23 hours and 55 minutes -- ahead of the Firearms Tracing System.
As the Obama administration, in the wake of the Newtown tragedy, pushes for gun control -- "gun safety" is the term the White House favors -- the Firearms Tracing System is drawing attention. Critics refer to the system as "horse and buggy" technology, according to a recent piece by CBS news. Attorney General Eric Holder paid a visit to the National Tracing Center in Martinsburg, W.Va., to have a look for himself. (ATF is part of the Department of Justice.) There's only one conclusion Holder could reach: The Firearms Tracking System needs updating.
ATF CIO Rick Holgate, an experienced technology executive with degrees from Princeton and MIT, is the first to agree. In an hour-long interview with InformationWeek Government at the agency's Washington, D.C., headquarters, Holgate described the microfilm system as a "target of opportunity."
He would like to replace the microfilm with a modern imaging system capable of processing gun records much faster and more efficiently. A new system would cost about $4 million, Holgate estimates -- not cheap, but a small price to pay to expedite this important process. The ATF's tech budget is about $80 million, minus $10 million to $15 million if sequestration takes full effect.
But as important as it is, upgrading the Firearms Tracing Systems hasn't risen to the top of the ATF's priority list. Holgate has his hands full with a long list of other projects: moving the agency's email system to the cloud, making aggregate gun-trace data available in an open format, modernizing and integrating the agency's other legacy systems and, most recently, moving its email archive online to facilitate e-discovery. "It's not that [replacing] microfiche isn't important," Holgate says. "It just has to compete with other priorities."
If you're wondering why the ATF doesn't replace its kludge of a system with a state-of-the-art database management system that could locate documents in minutes instead of days, it's because there are laws against it. The agency is restricted by the Firearms Owners Protection Act from creating a national database of gun registrations, sales or owners. The influential National Rifle Association gets fidgety at the mere mention of a centralized firearms database. So ATF must concentrate on accessing, integrating and managing the records that are available under current law.
While microfilm is at the core of the Firearms Tracing System, there's actually more to it. The system pulls together information from a variety of sources, mostly Oracle databases. The agency is upgrading those systems on top of Oracle's Web services-based Fusion architecture "to allow us to extend it more readily," Holgate says. A Web front end called eTrace lets law enforcement officials submit requests for gun traces and get the results back.
But there's no escaping the grunt work involved on the back end of gun tracing. Out-of-business gun dealers are one source of records for the Firearms Tracing System. As required by law, however, those records arrive as paper documents, which are then converted by the ATF to electronic images. The various imaging systems ATF uses were "purpose built," Holgate says, a nice way of saying that those too are a hodge-podge. ATF and DOJ are moving in parallel toward a common, enterprise approach to imaging, he says.
Other ATF platforms with a gun control element are in need of attention. ATF operates a referral system that links to the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System, aka NICS. When a would-be gun buyer completes an application (ATF Form 4473) at the point of purchase, the FBI has three days to complete a background check or, by law, that transaction is allowed to go through.
If disqualifying information is discovered after the three-day approval deadline, it becomes a "delayed denial," in which case ATF agents have the sensitive job of repossessing the firearm. Those potentially dangerous situations could be minimized if the FBI and ATF were better at information sharing. At the time of our interview, Holgate was due to meet with the FBI within a few days to discuss next steps. One idea is to include a subset of Form 4473 data in the FBI NICS to establish more data consistency and introduce fewer errors.
Accurate, timely data sharing between ATF and the FBI becomes especially important as the number of background checks rises, as it's sure to under the White House initiative. The FBI already conducts more than 45,000 gun-related background checks a day. (For more, see "Federal Gun Control Requires IT Overhaul.")
Did I mention that the number of gun traces, now about 350,000 annually, is going to increase, as well? In mid-January, when Obama introduced 23 executive orders on gun safety, he also issued a memo requiring federal law enforcement organizations to submit trace requests for all guns recovered during the course of a criminal investigation. It's a good bet that heightened awareness in communities nationwide will cause more local and state police to request gun traces too.
In other words, there will be even more trips to the ATF's microfilm department, more eye-straining records searches, more lengthy turnarounds to answer a simple question about a gun's origins. Holgate says he hopes to find the resources to upgrade the Firearms Tracing System "in the next year or so."
That's not soon enough. Obama himself should be paying attention.

9:30 am - 10:30 am
Yoga in the morning at the library! Patrons will have the chance to experience the Krishnamacharya tradition of Hatha Yoga. Program held in the second floor Gallery.
Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, often referred to as "The Father of Modern Yoga," is responsible for sharing yoga with women as ancient yoga was originally for men only. The sessions will have a vinyasa style flow that concentrates on elongating the breathing pattern, creating endurance, balance and flexibility.
Moreover, Yoga is a healing system of theory and practice. The objective of the classes are to create strength, awareness, and harmony in both the mind and body. Our patrons can expect breathing and meditation in order to improve mental well-being. Regular practice will provide mental clarity, and calmness; increased body awareness; relief from chronic stress patterns and sharper concentration.
Attendees should bring their own mat and their interest in learning yoga in a quiet and serene atmosphere.
Munah Hayes is the creator of Munahology, a health and wellness approach that explores alternative methodologies to healing. The program entails guided nutrition plans that are similar to Ayurvedic theories, different styles of fitness programs that are tailored to the needs of the individual person, behavioral and emotional surveillance and counseling and a support team that is trained to encourage its clients to put forth a spirit of excellence in all endeavors of life.
Ms. Hayes is a graduate of the Yoga Teacher Training Program at Ramapo College in Mahwah, New Jersey. Also, a Zumba instructor, she was first introduced to yoga when a student of hers challenged her to a week trial of hot yoga. She recognized an immediate difference in her posture, breathing pattern, and mental clarity that she decided to adjoin it to her tactic for healing.
Her latest endeavors have been creating 6-week Health and Wellness Programs that are geared towards observing and creating movement and nutrition classes for adults ages 20-50 with Autistic Spectrum Disorder and Down Syndrome, teenagers aged 12-15 that reside at the Morris County Youth Shelter, and instructing intergenerational yoga classes at Spring Hills Assisted Living Facility in Morristown with the residents and children of Zufall's Yogini class.
This program is supported by the Friends of the Morristown & Morris Township Library.

Many professions require specialized forms of insurance, and as a personal trainer, your career comes with a certain degree of professional liability that others may not experience.
Being a personal trainer is a rewarding career, but it can lead to increased insurance risks because there are many ways for your clients to get hurt, and you can't watch everybody at every moment. On any given day, you might have people who push themselves harder than they should, ignore the warning signs that their bodies provide, or refuse to take the advice you've given them. Many of these problems aren't your fault, especially if you keep clients informed of best health practices without exceeding the scope of your responsibilities. However, aggressive clients may still sue for negligence if they injure themselves under your supervision.
Personal trainer insurance can act as a buffer between you and the claims that injured parties may make. INDEMNUS Insurance agents can help you keep important aspects of your career and this coverage in mind when considering insurance as a personal trainer.
There are two major components of personal trainer insurance, both of which are needed for truly comprehensive coverage.
As a personal trainer, you may be asked to provide evidence of certification in your field before a policy will be offered. Experienced trainers—particularly those who have avoided claims in the past—may be eligible for a discounted rate on their policy.

Depending on where you ride, you might wear a heavy-duty jacket a few times a year, but a long sleeve jersey like our Therminal Long Sleeve Jersey has the potential to be worn on every ride.
This jersey is made from our Therminal fabric, which is designed to both insulate and manage moisture buildup. To do so, it has a brushed fleece interior with a light loft that pulls moisture away from skin to evaporate it at the material's surface. This loft also has the added benefit of insulation, which occurs by trapping tiny pockets of warmth between the skin and the fabric. The result? Consistent warmth that doesn't come with the risk of overheating. Keeping with this theme, the jersey has a pop collar to keep the wind off of your neck and out of the jersey.
In terms of fit, the Therminal features our Women's-specific Standard Fit, which means that it'll lie close to the body, while still allowing ample room for layering underneath. And for storage, you'll find three back expansion pockets and one zippered security pocket to hold all of your ride essentials.
- Therminal fabrics feature remarkable insulating properties, astounding levels of breathability and moisture management, and a lightweight, brushed back fleece that's soft against the skin.
- Three back expansion pockets and one zippered security pocket provide plenty of safe and secure storage for your ride essentials and electronics.
- Full-length front zipper allows you to dump heat on-the-fly.
- Pop collar keeps the cold from creeping into the jersey at the neck opening.
- Reflective elements increase your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions.
- Bluesign-approved fabric.
- Deflect UV 50+ protects against harmful UV rays
- Women's-specific Standard Fit is generous, so it fits close to the body without being constricting.
- Fabric weight: 300g
