Commission and FAA launch transatlantic action plan to cut emissions
Jacques Barrot, European Commission Vice-President responsible for transport, and Marion Blakey, Administrator of the United States Federal Aviation Administration, today launched - in the presence of aircraft industry representatives - a transatlantic emission-reduction initiative called AIRE.
"The future of the aviation industry depends on its ability to combat climate change through innovation and greater efficiency, and this initiative will enable us to speed up the application of technologies and procedures having a direct impact on greenhouse gas emissions," Jacques Barrot said.
"Following the major success of our open skies agreement, this is further proof that the European Union and the United States benefit from working together in the aviation sector. We both want a sky open to aircraft but not to emissions," he added.
"The Commission is ensuring constant environmental awareness in the aviation sector. Our AIRE initiative is only one part of our three measures to make aviation greener. It supplements our proposal to include aviation in the emission rights trading system and the Clean Sky initiative launched by the Commission last week to support the development of the next generation of clean aircraft," the Commission Vice-President concluded.
The joint initiative AIRE (Atlantic Interoperability Initiative to Reduce Emissions) fits in with the cooperation protocol signed by the Commission and the FAA to coordinate two major programmes on air traffic control infrastructure modernisation, SESAR[1] in Europe and NEXTGEN[2] in the United States.
AIRE will make it possible to speed up the application of new technologies and operational procedures which will have a direct impact in the short and medium term on greenhouse gas emissions. The measures include "smooth" or "reduced engine" approaches (which will enable noise and exhaust gas emissions to be reduced during landing), experiments with which carried out at Stockholm, Louisville and Atlanta have shown substantial savings in fuel and CO2 and NOx emissions.
AIRE will be based on "gate to gate" test campaigns and experiments, which will make it possible to assess the new measures' environmental benefits and their operational and technical feasibility. Accordingly, the Commission and the FAA have ensured that this initiative is being undertaken with the close involvement of partners from the industry, such as the aircraft manufacturers Airbus and Boeing, the operators Air France-KLM, SAS, Delta and FEDEX, and providers of aviation navigation services such as IAA (Ireland), LFV (Sweden) and NAV (Portugal). In addition to being an agreement between two leading public institutions, AIRE is therefore a genuine partnership which brings together aviation players with the common aim of environmental conservation.
The initial partnership will be expanded as best practices and new technologies spread in Europe and the United States.
For the Commission, the air transport sustainable development strategy is based on a consistent three-pillared approach:
1. air traffic management, by means of SESAR or more generally the Single European Sky and initiatives such as AIRE;
2. technological development, through programmes such as Clean Sky or studies on the use of biofuels;
3. economic mechanisms for trading emission rights.
AIRE is the first large-scale environmental initiative bringing together aviation players from both sides of the Atlantic.

GREEN BAY — My vantage point, Sunday after Sunday during the Green Bay Packers season, has been in the press box high above the playing field.
From there, the magnificent ability of Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers to make plays on the move spread out before me over the last two decades.
In most stadiums, the coaches booth was just a few doors down. Inside usually sat the defensive coordinator charged with trying to contain these two elite quarterbacks.
The more that I watched Favre during his 16 seasons as the Packers' starter, and now Rodgers during his 5-1/2-year tenure, the more it became apparent just how demoralizing it must be for coordinators to scheme a front and a coverage just so and then have it blown to bits by an extended play.
Favre's coaches used to say he was most dangerous on the move. Now Rodgers' mentors say the same thing.
It's called making something out of nothing. Favre was a fearless magician, and Rodgers has followed in his footsteps while bringing more discipline to the art form.
You've seen it hundreds of times. Trapped in the pocket by the rush, they'd somehow manage to slip between the inside rushers and — voila — there would suddenly be an expanse of 5 yards before the line of scrimmage with nary a defender within striking distance.
At that exact moment, time would stand still in the coaches booth. All the helpless coordinator could do was watch, knowing he was in deep, deep trouble. Turned out, he usually was.
The mantle has been passed from quarterback to quarterback and coach to coach, but the extended play has remained the most lethal element in the Packers' offensive arsenal.
"I really enjoy that," Rodgers said in a recent interview. "You know me. I like to throw first outside the pocket. And I'm a shorter quarterback, so to have an unobstructed view out there, you love those."
According to coach Mike McCarthy, there's no doubt that Rodgers is most dangerous on the move. It's why McCarthy and his staff put an extreme emphasis on practicing extended situations, and why he and Rodgers have put their heads together trying to create breakout opportunities that some players don't even know about.
"We have some stuff in there," Rodgers said. "We have some plays where there's strong potential that a play's going to get extended based on the protection and the drop-back. Can't give you any more secrets other than that."
McCarthy and James Campen, his offensive line coach, were equally vague. All McCarthy would say is that he's spent more time on it lately than in the past.
Have their joint efforts been successful?
"The sample size is too small," Rodgers said with a grin.
What's known is that the Packers haven't been quite as devastating in the first six games as they have been in the past when it comes to improvisation in the passing game.
"We've probably had a few more misses than hits lately," offensive coordinator Tom Clements said Thursday. "I wish it happened every time, but it doesn't. But at least you have a good shot at a big play coming about."
Much to my dismay, I didn't begin charting extended plays until last season. I have gains of 20 yards or more (referred to hereafter as "explosive" plays) dating to the early 1990s in notebooks, but only infrequent notations on whether the quarterback was moving.
Recent history of extended plays
In 2012, it occurred to me that it might be of value to record that. Now, on each completion for 20 or more, I denote "Yes" if the quarterback was pressured or moved intentionally off his spot before throwing, or if he threw off some kind of action, including bootlegs and rollouts.
Counting two playoff games, 18 of Rodgers' 61 explosive completions in 2012, or 29.5%, fit those categories.
After six games this season, the number has dwindled to 22.2% on 6 of 27.
"That's an interesting stat," Rodgers said. "I knew I wasn't scrambling as much; obviously, my rushing yards is down from what it has been. But, it's early."
Rodgers has rushed 22 times for 75 yards and no touchdowns, putting him on pace for 59 carries and 200 yards (3.4). In his first five seasons as a starter, he averaged 58 carries for 279 yards (4.8) and scored 18 touchdowns.
His long runs this season are 18 and 12 yards. He had eight explosive runs from 2008-'12.
The statistical summary of Favre's career showed he hit the wall as a runner after his ninth year (2000) as a starter, the season in which he turned 31 in October. He averaged 167 rushing yards per season and 3.9 yards per carry from 1992-2000, then 40.4 and 1.7 from 2001-'07.
Defensive approach matters
Clements made it clear that the Packers don't want Rodgers to be known as a runner. However, if defenses rush four with both safeties deep and five players underneath in man-to-man coverage, Rodgers has proven capable of running them into zone coverage.
Rodgers, who will be 30 in December, attributed fewer extended plays to changes in defensive tactics.
"There's been more rush-to-contain type of schemes," he said. "There's less get-up-the-field and get after me and more rush-lane discipline. Kind of a bull rush and mirror technique where they're kind of bulling the guy and then trying to keep you in the pocket."
His center, Evan Dietrich-Smith, doesn't see it that way.
"Every team we play, they're trying to get sacks," he said. "If you don't rush him, he's going to make you pay."
Clements pointed out that extended opportunities often have come when defenses choose to rush only three men. The three are then blocked by five offensive linemen, which in turn makes it almost incumbent upon Rodgers to scramble if he wants to throw down field against eight-man coverage.
But defenses appear to have wised up. Of the Packers' 249 drop-backs in six games, opponents have rushed three just seven times. That's 2.8%, a sharp decline from 7.7% last season, 9.6% in 2011 and 9.2% in 2010.
Still, defenses have rushed five or more against Green Bay on just 23.7% of drop-backs. According to STATS, only seven teams have been blitzed less than the Packers.
Week after week, Rodgers is facing predominantly four-man rush units that have been made well aware by their coaches not to fly out of control and provide him an opening alley through which to run up and kill them downfield or with his feet.
"You've got to keep him in the pocket," a defensive line coach for a Packers opponent this season said. "When he's hurt us is when he's broken contain. He is very dangerous there."
Although Dietrich-Smith denied any knowledge of it, the coach speculated how McCarthy and Rodgers might have sought to create extended plays from normal drop-back and shotgun sets.
"A lot of people will drop back in their normal protection and the center just backs up and turns to try and seal one side so the (quarterback) only has to worry about one side of the rush," the coach said. "One of the rush guys may not be as agile as one of the others so they'll try to seal the other ones and let him just handle that rusher.
"He's trusting the fact he's dealing with just one side and can extend the play a little bit and buy time. Tennessee used to be real good when the center, Kevin Mawae, would turn and seal it and Vince (Young) would be able to maneuver."
Young was a better runner than Rodgers but wasn't in the same realm as a thrower.
"We're never that dramatic," Rodgers said, referring to what the Titans did. "Occasionally they give me a view, but I like to throw."
Some teams without athletic quarterbacks will just throw the ball down or kind of stop in practice when a sack becomes imminent. Not in Green Bay, where McCarthy installed a 2.5-second clock and insists that quarterbacks pay heed, move and extend every play no matter the pressure.
Scott Tolzien, the practice-squad quarterback who spent 2011-'12 in San Francisco, said the Packers and 49ers equally emphasized the importance of extending plays.
Receivers are a key component
Another critical part of the equation is the way in which Rodgers' experienced receivers would react when a play broke down. With each passing second it becomes more difficult for a defensive back to "plaster" his man, and the Packers' wide receivers and tight ends have been expert helping Rodgers by working back into open areas.
The master of the adjusted route has been Randall Cobb, who has 12 of the team's 24 explosive extended catches in the last 1 1/2 seasons for 358 yards (29.8).
Now Cobb and Jermichael Finley, who ranks second on the explosive extended reception list with five for 124 (24.8), both are out indefinitely.
When Rodgers breaks containment now, circling in the middle of the field will be slot receiver Myles White and tight end Andrew Quarless.
Their lack of savvy no doubt was a factor why Rodgers had to throw the ball away four times last Sunday against Cleveland after having just six toss-aways in the first five games this year and 23 in 18 games a year ago.
The Packers are tied for 17th in red-zone efficiency after not having finished worse than ninth in the last five years. McCarthy traced some of the mediocrity to extended plays that came up empty.
Nevertheless, Green Bay ranks fourth in points and passing, and sixth in rushing. It has been a good offense thus far and will remain so as long as Rodgers remains on the field.
From the pocket, by far the Packers' most effective avenues for explosive completions are takeoff routes to Jordy Nelson and James Jones. Rodgers already has hit six of them.
But long bombs, back-shoulder fades, post routes, corner routes, post-corner routes, screens, flats, hitches and all the other passes the Packers have hit for explosive plays require so much work.
Extended plays, when you have a superstar like Rodgers, come so easily and have a shattering effect on defenses.
Just ask those coordinators up top.
Opponents will continue devising ways to hem in Rodgers. It's incumbent upon the Packers to make sure he has chances and then produces on the move.

Charities 'to keep out of politics'
The minister responsible for David Cameron's Big Society drive is embroiled in a row after telling charities to "stick to their knitting" and keep out of politics.
Brooks Newmark, who was appointed in the summer reshuffle, used his first major intervention to criticise organisations that "stray" from their core functions.
According to the civilsociety.co.uk website, Mr Newmark told a conference on social action: "We really want to try and keep charities and voluntary groups out of the realms of politics. Some 99.9% do exactly that. When they stray into the realm of politics that is not what they are about and that is not why people give them money."
Brooks Newmark, the minister responsible for David Cameron's Big Society drive
He added: "The important thing charities should be doing is sticking to their knitting and doing the best they can to promote their agenda, which should be about helping others."
Alexandra Runswick, director of campaign group Unlock Democracy, branded the Tory MP's words "condescending", arguing that said charities "should be able to advocate, not just knit".
Frances Crook, chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, wrote on Twitter: "Incredibly insulting for charities minister to tell civil society to 'stick to its knitting' & I think sexist too."
Shadow minister for civil society Lisa Nandy said Mr Newmark was spouting "patronising rubbish".
"It's his first speech as charities minister, and I think it's not just patronising but actually deeply offensive at a time when charities are picking up the pieces from this Government's awful, unfair policies, that their ministers would talk about them in such a dismissive way," she told the Guardian.
"This comes from a Government that hasn't just introduced the Lobbying Act but has also restricted charities using judicial review, cut legal aid, ramped up employment tribunal fees and clamped down on immigration appeals. What you're looking at is a Government that doesn't like challenge. That is quite a frightening place for a Government to have got itself into."
A number of Tory backbenchers criticised Oxfam earlier this year for "political" opposition to benefit cuts and zero-hour contracts.
But charities have insisted they are entitled to take positions on issues related to their work.
After his comments yesterday, Mr Newmark clarified that charities "absolutely have right to campaign but should stay out of realm of 'party' politics".

It was on the second morning of the 18th annual Leadership Challenge when parents allowed Blue Springs Police into their home to help their teenager get out of bed in order to participate in the day camp's next session. Escorted out of the home in handcuffs, the juvenile got into the backseat of a squad car and was taken to First Bible ADP SportsPark, where this year's camp is being held.
This is one of the many instances where Blue Springs Police Sgt. Colby Lalli aims to instill both accountability and commitment into the minds of more than 40 boot camp participants ranging from age 13 to 17. He, along with 14 other police officers and six medics and firefighters from Central Jackson County Fire Protection District, are conducting a week-long program set to radically transform the behaviors of kids who may have previously broken the law or been unruly at either home or school.
"This is probably the most intense week of their lives," said Lalli about his youth participants at Leadership Challenge.
The Leadership Challenge follows a military model, said Lalli. From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday this week, the teens begin each session by being subjected to an inspection and roll call, where they are checked if they are dressed appropriately, followed by intense physical training, such as sprints or multiple sets of push-ups and sit-ups. Throughout the day, the teens engage in marching drills and obstacle courses, like a tire flip or plank walk race, as well as a couple educational components.
"Our Think First presentations have a speaker with a brain or spinal cord injury who made a destructive decision, like not wearing a selt belt while drinking and driving," Lalli said about the educational components of the day camp. "This will help them to make better decisions in the future."
And not only do these "rangers" become disciplined and in-shape, but also help out the community.
"Today they will hauling brush and adding mulch for the (First Baptist Bible) church," he said. "They don't know what it means to serve their community. It's not always about me, me, me."
The boot camp began nearly 20 years ago, when Lalli said he carried out the vision of another officer's idea.
"It addresses defiance at this high level."
He added that many of the 14 officers involved are military veterans themselves and "want to change kids' lives." The CJC firefighters are on standby in case of a medical emergency. "Safety is paramount."
The pinnacle of the Leadership Challenge, Lalli said, is the graduation ceremony at the end of the week. "This is their biggest accomplishment when they don't usually complete anything."
Lalli added there are very few repeat offenders once they complete the program. Some rangers are monitored for the next three to six months after the camp, and some officers make a phone call to their families to follow-up on their progress.
"We also receive countless letters from parents thanking us for the Leadership Challenge. It's very rare to see a repeat offender. I'd say one out of 50 to 60 kids comes back."
However, the camp isn't free. The fee for a kid to be enrolled is $110, said Lalli. "This isn't a babysitting service. It's to instill teamwork, discipline and accountability."

Colorado is continually heralded as the fittest state in the country but behind that ranking stand a host of health measures that paint a different picture, placing the state midpack or worse in things such as infant mortality and binge drinking.
And even that No. 1 ranking best among the 50 states in the rate of adult obesity may mask serious future troubles: Colorado stands 23rd in childhood obesity and is even farther down the list in other key measures of the overall health of the states youngest population.
If were 23rd in kids and No. 1 in adults, how sustainable is that? asked James Hill, a University of Colorado pediatrics professor who is involved in extensive obesity research. I think thats reason to be concerned I really do.
Emily King, a research analyst at the Colorado Health Institute who compiled the data, said it is impossible to simply look at the numbers and project the future. But it also may portend a reality very different from that experienced by the states adult population today.
The fact that our childhood obesity rate is much higher than it was in the past suggests that our adult obesity rates will be higher a couple of decades from now because we know that obese children are more likely to grow up to be obese adults, she said.
Other measures in the health institutes data also suggest serious challenges for Colorado on issues related to children. For example, the state ranked 31st in late- or nonexistent prenatal care, 37th in low birth-weight babies and 42nd in children without insurance, according to an I-News examination of the health institutes data.
That data underpins the Colorado Health Foundations annual Colorado Health Report Card. The report card uses the most recently available data to measure the relative health of Coloradans across a variety of areas that look at different stages of life, from prenatal and newborn care to adolescence, adulthood and the process of aging.
The Colorado Health Foundation used the data this year to ask the question: What if we were No. 1?
And while the state currently is first when it comes to adult waistlines 20.9 percent of the states population of 18- to 64-year-olds are obese, the lowest percentage in the nation its a different issue when it comes to children. The most recent data estimated that 14.2 percent of the states children were obese. Oregon, by comparison, was No. 1, with 9.6 percent of its children obese.
The Colorado Health Foundation estimated that if Colorado were to climb to No. 1 in childhood obesity, it would have 24,900 fewer kids living at an unhealthy weight.
The foundation estimated other categories where changes in Colorados ranking would mean dramatic changes in statistics and, perhaps, economics.
For example, the foundation estimated that Colorado residents and their employers could save $121 million a year in health-care costs if it had the lowest rate of depression among the 50 states. In Colorado, 14.7 percent of the states adults reported that they had experienced poor mental health. That left Colorado ranked 13th among the states while North Dakota was No. 1, with 11.9 percent of adults reporting mental-health problems.
The report card also found that Colorado, if it could move to the top spot among the states, annually would have 2,100 more babies born at a healthy weight, 32,600 fewer high school students who smoke cigarettes and 376,800 fewer adults who binge drink.
The news wasnt all bad Colorado was first in older adults who participate in regular physical activity, fourth in adolescents who participate in regular physical activity and fifth in mothers who smoked during pregnancy.
Still, CU professor Hill said he worries about the future if the state cant address the growing number of people who are obese.
Preventing obesity is going to be easier than treating it, so weve got to get serious about kids and preventing obesity in the first place, Hill said.
He said he would push for a simple goal in the beginning for Colorado to maintain its current obesity rate as an important first step.
Lets focus on not gaining weight, rather than losing weight, Hill said. In other words, if our obesity rates stayed the same in Colorado, the projected savings over the next seven to 10 years are in billions.

How To Become A Medical Assistant in Indiana
In order to qualify for Medical Assisting jobs in Indiana, you should compare all available technical schools in your target area, as well as consider taking some of your courses online. Check with each nursing school below for assistance with certificate program requirements, degree prerequisites, and class registration. You may request information from several different schools below, without making a commitment.
To prepare for Medical Assisting careers in Indiana, you need to complete a technical education in your specialty area, as well as consider taking part of your required courses online. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Given the breadth of engineering specializations, you are likely to find your niche, and be able to design a rewarding career.

Overnight bandwidth capacity that doesn't split your total bandwidth capacity is also a nice change of pace. Some companies advertise a bandwidth cap as being the total cap, but only give you half of that cap during your regular, daylight hours. 48461 Mi Exede instead allows unlimited bandwidth from midnight to 5:00 AM. Exede 48461 Mi also has the ability to go past its stated bandwidth speeds during these hours, or even during peak hours depending on conditions and usage.
Unmetered access for early birds is also available when you choose their "Unlimited" web access plan. From 3 A.M. To 8 A.M., access to everything will be totally free, whereas there will be a 15 GB a month cap on everything that isn't web or e-mail access. If you're the type of person who likes to get work done early in the morning, this could be the perfect choice for you.
Consumers tend to prefer Exede 48461 Mi for its open and transparent bandwidth and download limits, and its exceptional speeds. When compared to other providers, you will find that Exede 48461 Mi often pulls ahead, especially for the price range that it offers. As mentioned, the installation is fast and easy, the actual service itself is right on the nose with what you will expect, and adding extra capacity to your download cap is a pretty straight forward process as well.
The Final Verdict
48461 Mi Exede's got a lot to offer to both those who know satellite internet well, and those who are entirely new to this style of service. If you live in a rural household, or you have a small business, 48461 Mi Exede's got many different packages and bundling styles that are going to be perfect for your needs.
48461 Mi Exede's website even features a Plan Selector Tool, which can allow you to determine which plan will be best for you based on how much music you plan to stream, how many videos and movies you will watch, the amount of time that you spend on social media, and more. That's good news if you're just in the dark about how much bandwidth you use on a regular basis, and if nothing else, will help to inform you on what category of plans you should actually be looking at in the future.
48461 Mi Exede's current promotions allow you to get even more bandwidth for your subscription fee, and the contracts are six months to start with. Prices may be lower with longer contracts. Be sure to check the website for more information.

You guys have been killin' it the past 3 games!
I'm a diehard Bronco fan and I've always rooted for the Seahawks in the NFC when I can't watch my Broncos.
RW is a complete steal and fits you guys perfectly. I'm glad he's having OROY potential and proving himself these past few games that people will remember most. Screw Luck and RGIII.
Hopefully we'll meet in New Orleans in February. Also hopefully that Adrian Peterson doesn't steal Peyton "freakin" Manning's rightful trophy of MVP and Comeback Player of the Year.
Again, congrats from me personally, and I'm sure most of Bronco Country.

Bright Beginnings Early Childhood Center is getting ready once again to present "A Living Library" at Village Square Mall on June 8 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Bright Beginnings Early Childhood Center is getting ready once again to present "A Living Library" at Village Square Mall on June 8 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
"We will have 10 different stories being read in different locations throughout the mall," Donna Crockett, coordinator said. "Children and parents may come and go from story to story as they please."
At each story there will be a narrator, telling the story, and live characters from the book to interact with the kids. Each story takes about 15 to 20 minutes to tell, and families do not have to listen to all 10 if they do not wish to.
"Not all volunteers have decided what book they're reading yet," Crockett said, "But I know we'll have The Cat in the Hat reading his book, and 'Little Red Hen' being read as well."
The event is geared towards children age birth through 2nd grade, but older children may enjoy the event as well.
"After kids are done listening to the stories, they can visit our bookstore and pick out their own copies of books, for free," Crockett said.
Books will be available in English and Spanish, and in addition to the children's books there will be some parenting books, and books for older children too.
"The whole purpose of this event is to get kids reading during the summer," Crockett said. "We're trying to get the whole family involved in showing kids how important and fun reading can be."
Last year about 275 bags of books were given out, and Crockett hopes as many, if not more are given away this year.
Every 30 minutes throughout the event there will be "spotlight" performances taking place on the stage in the movie theater.
"They will be sure to entertain the whole family," Crockett said.
To top off the event some of your children's favorite characters will be walking around the whole time. Elmo and Curious George will pose for pictures, and greet all their fans.
"A Living Library" is sponsored by a grant from Bright Beginnings, but all children in the Dodge City area and surrounding communities are invited to come out and participate.
"We really hope that lots of families will come out," Crockett said, "and get some new books for their children to enjoy this summer. That's the whole point, keeping kids engaged in reading."

- Hint file tricks
README.hints - hint files used by Configure
These files are used by Configure to set things which Configure either can't or doesn't guess properly. Most of these hint files have been tested with at least some version of perl5, but some are still left over from perl4.
Please send any problems or suggested changes to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hint file naming convention.
Each hint file name should have only one '.'. (This is for portability to non-unix file systems.) Names should also fit in <= 14 characters, for portability to older SVR3 systems. File names are of the form $osname_$osvers.sh, with all '.' changed to '_', and all characters (such as '/') that don't belong in Unix filenames omitted.
For example, consider Sun OS 4.1.3. Configure determines $osname=sunos (all names are converted to lower case) and $osvers=4.1.3. Configure will search for an appropriate hint file in the following order:
If you need to create a hint file, please try to use as general a name as possible and include minor version differences inside case or test statements. For example, for IRIX 6.X, we have the following hints files:
That is, 6.0 and 6.1 have their own special hints, but 6.2, 6.3, and up are all handled by the same irix_6.sh. That way, we don't have to make a new hint file every time the IRIX O/S is upgraded.
If you need to test for specific minor version differences in your hints file, be sure to include a default choice. (See aix.sh for one example.) That way, if you write a hint file for foonix 3.2, it might still work without any changes when foonix 3.3 is released.
Please also comment carefully on why the different hints are needed. That way, a future version of Configure may be able to automatically detect what is needed.
A glossary of config.sh variables is in the file Porting/Glossary.
Setting variables
If you want to set a variable, try to allow for Configure command-line overrides. For example, suppose you think the default optimizer setting to be -O2 for a particular platform. You should allow for command line overrides with something like
case "$optimize" in
'') optimize='-O2' ;;
or, if your system has a decent test(1) command,
test -z "$optimize" && optimize='-O2'
This allows the user to select a different optimization level, e.g. -O6 or -g.
Compiler and Linker flags
If you want to set $ccflags or $ldflags, you should append to the existing value to allow Configure command-line settings, e.g. use
ccflags="$ccflags -DANOTHER_OPTION_I_NEED"
so that the user can do something like
sh Configure -Dccflags='FIX_NEGATIVE_ZERO'
and have the FIX_NEGATIVE_ZERO value preserved by the hints file.
Configure will attempt to use the libraries listed in the variable $libswanted. If necessary, you should remove broken libraries from that list, or add additional libraries to that list. You should *not* simply set $libs -- that ignores the possibilities of local variations. For example, a setting of libs='-lgdbm -lm -lc' would fail if another user were to try to compile Perl on a system without GDBM but with Berkeley DB. See hints/dec_osf.sh and hints/solaris_2.sh for examples.
In general, try to avoid hard-wiring something that Configure will figure out anyway. Also try to allow for Configure command-line overrides.
Working around compiler bugs
Occasionally, the root cause of a bug in perl turns out to be due to a bug in the compiler. Often, changing the compilation options (particularly the optimization level) can work around the bug. However, if you try to do this on the command line, you will be changing the compilation options for every component of perl, which can really hurt perl's performance. Instead, consider placing a test case into the hints directory to detect whether the compiler bug is present, and add logic to the hints file to take a specific and appropriate action
Test-case conventions
Test cases should be named "tNNN.c", where NNN is the next unused sequence number. The test case must be executable and should display a message containing the word "fails" when the compiler bug is present. It should display the word "works" with the compiler bug is not present. The test cases should be liberally commented and may be used by any hints file that needs them. See the first hints file (t001.c) for an example.
Hint file processing
The hint file must define a call-back unit (see below) that will compile, link, and run the test case, and then check for the presence of the string "fails" in the output. If it finds this string, it sets a special variable to specify the compilation option(s) for the specific perl source file that is affected by the bug.
The special variable is named "XXX_cflags" where "XXX" is the name of the source file (without the ".c" suffix). The value of this variable is the string "optimize=YYY", where "YYY" is the compilation option necessary to work around the bug. The default value of this variable is "-O" (letter O), which specifies that the C compiler should compile the source program at the default optimization level. If you can avoid the compiler bug by disabling optimization, just reset the "optimize" variable to the null string. Sometimes a bug is present at a higher optimization level (say, O3) and not present at a lower optimization level (say, O1). In this case, you should specify the highest optimization level at which the bug is not present, so that you will retain as many of the benefits of code optimization as possible.
For example, if the pp_pack.c source file must be compiled at optimization level 0 to work around a problem on a particular platform, one of the statements
pp_pack_cflags="optimize=-O0" or
will do the trick, since level 0 is equivalent to no optimization. (In case your printer or display device does not distinguish the letter O from the digit 0, that is the letter O followed by the digit 0). You can specify any compiler option or set of options here, not just optimizer options. These options are appended to the list of all other compiler options, so you should be able to override almost any compiler option prepared by Configure. (Obviously this depends on how the compiler treats conflicting options, but most seem to go with the last value specified on the command line).
You should also allow for the XXX_cflags variable to be overridden on the command line.
See the vos.sh hints file for an extended example of these techniques.
Hint file tricks
Printing critical messages
[This is still experimental]
If you have a *REALLY* important message that the user ought to see at the end of the Configure run, you can store it in the file 'config.msg'. At the end of the Configure run, Configure will display the contents of this file. Currently, the only place this is used is in Configure itself to warn about the need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH if you are building a shared libperl.so.
To use this feature, just do something like the following
$cat <<EOM | $tee -a ../config.msg >&4
This is a really important message. Be sure to read it
before you type 'make'.
This message will appear on the screen as the hint file is being processed and again at the end of Configure.
Please use this sparingly.
Propagating variables to config.sh
Sometimes, you want an extra variable to appear in config.sh. For example, if your system can't compile toke.c with the optimizer on, you can put
at the beginning of a line in your hints file. Configure will then extract that variable and place it in your config.sh file. Later, while compiling toke.c, the cflags shell script will eval $toke_cflags and hence compile toke.c without optimization.
Note that for this to work, the variable you want to propagate must appear in the first column of the hint file. It is extracted by Configure with a simple sed script, so beware that surrounding case statements aren't any help.
By contrast, if you don't want Configure to propagate your temporary variable, simply indent it by a leading tab in your hint file.
For example, prior to 5.002, a bug in scope.c led to perl crashing when compiled with -O in AIX 4.1.1. The following "obvious" workaround in hints/aix.sh wouldn't work as expected:
case "$osvers" in
because Configure doesn't parse the surrounding 'case' statement, it just blindly propagates any variable that starts in the first column. For this particular case, that's probably harmless anyway.
Three possible fixes are:
Create an aix_4_1_1.sh hint file that contains the scope_cflags line and then sources the regular aix hints file for the rest of the information.
Do the following trick:
scope_cflags='case "$osvers" in 4.1*) optimize=" ";; esac'
Now when $scope_cflags is eval'd by the cflags shell script, the case statement is executed. Of course writing scripts to be eval'd is tricky, especially if there is complex quoting. Or,
Write directly to Configure's temporary file UU/config.sh. You can do this with
case "$osvers" in 4.1.1) echo "scope_cflags='optimize=\"\"'" >> UU/config.sh scope_cflags='optimize=""' ;; esac
Note you have to both write the definition to the temporary UU/config.sh file and set the variable to the appropriate value.
This is sneaky, but it works. Still, if you need anything this complex, perhaps you should create the separate hint file for aix 4.1.1.
The settings of some things, such as optimization flags, may depend on the particular compiler used. For example, consider the following:
case "$cc" in *gcc*) ccflags="$ccflags -posix" ldflags="$ldflags -posix" ;; *) ccflags="$ccflags -Xp -D_POSIX_SOURCE" ldflags="$ldflags -Xp" ;; esac
However, the hints file is processed before the user is asked which compiler should be used. Thus in order for these hints to be useful, the user must specify sh Configure -Dcc=gcc on the command line, as advised by the INSTALL file.
For versions of perl later than 5.004_61, this problem can be circumvented by the use of "call-back units". That is, the hints file can tuck this information away into a file UU/cc.cbu. Then, after Configure prompts the user for the C compiler, it will load in and run the UU/cc.cbu "call-back" unit. See hints/solaris_2.sh for an example. Some callbacks exist for other variables than cc, such as for uselongdouble. At the present time, these callbacks are only called if the variable in question is defined; however, this may change, so the scheme in hints/solaris_2.sh of checking to see if uselongdouble is defined is a good idea.
- Call status
Call-backs are only called always, even if the value for the call-back is uset: UU/usethreads.cbu is called when Configure is about to deal with threads. All created call-backs from hints should thus check the status of the variable, and act upon it.
- Future status
I hope this "call-back" scheme is simple enough to use but powerful enough to deal with most situations. Still, there are certainly cases where it's not enough. For example, for aix we actually change compilers if we are using threads.
I'd appreciate feedback on whether this is sufficiently general to be helpful, or whether we ought to simply continue to require folks to say things like "sh Configure -Dcc=gcc -Dusethreads" on the command line.
Have the appropriate amount of fun :-)

The Shawnee City Commission voted Monday night to begin a five-member committee to review insurance providers and consultants regarding city employee health insurance, before making a recommendation to the commission.
The Shawnee City Commission voted Monday night to begin a five-member committee to review insurance providers and consultants regarding city employee health insurance, before making a recommendation to the commission.
The committee will be made up of three commissioners and two employees who will work with consultants to gather quotes and then recommend an insurance company to the commission.
The city commission would then make the final decision on whether or not to accept any contracts.
This move removes the decision-making from a 16-member group made up solely of city employees. The group may continue to meet, but will serve a strictly advisory position in order to help the committee established by the city commission.
Several city employees appeared in opposition to the change proposed by the Vice Mayor James Harrod.
Harrod said he believed that in order to best serve the tax payers, the commission must in control of the decision making process.
The city contributes $1.7 million to employee health insurance. This amount is capped, so if costs rise, employees pay the difference. Additionally employees pay 100 percent of vision, dental and supplemental life insurance.
Commissioner Pam Stephens opposed changes to the group, and instead suggested the city commission place two commissioners into the already formed 16-member group.
Harrod said he had repeated requested information from the group, which he had not received.
Commissioner Linda Agee said that any decision made could be later reversed and she emphasized that if placed on the newly formed committee, that she would keep the employees best interests at heart.
Commissioner Keith Hall explained that he wants to be able to tell taxpayers that the $1.7 million the city contributes was spent wisely, but said the way the group was run – with no oversight from commissioners – he could not do that.
The motion carried 4-2, with Mayor Wes Mainord, Agee, Hall, and Harrod voting in the affirmative. Commissioner John Winterringer and Stephens voted against. Commissioner Steve Smith was absent.
The commission did not appoint members to the committee, but City Manager Brian McDougal assured the commission that it could be done before the city's open enrollment.
Agee said she would call a special call meeting in order to discuss and appointment the members to the committee.

'The Bold and the Beautiful' film at Eiffel Tower
It's a soap opera about fashion, glamour, romance and heartbreak — so, rather fittingly, the "The Bold and the Beautiful" has gone to Paris.
The U.S. TV series is filming several episodes in front of the Eiffel Tower this week to celebrate 25 years of being broadcast in France.
The series — which says it's the world's highest-rated daily soap opera with an estimated 26.2 million viewers — owes its longevity to its international allure. It's especially popular in Italy and France.
Scott Clifton, who plays Liam, one of the series' main stars, says "it's about beautiful people designing beautiful clothes, beautiful jewelry and accessories."
He says, "I think Paris and France really values (that)."
The episodes will be broadcast in the U.S. in August.
