German Shepherd Dog Coat Color: Dilute German Shepherd Dogs
I am really lucky to have some good dog lover pals around me. Yes, most of my peeps are dog lovers and some of them are specifically German Shepherd lovers. Rizia Robertson is one such friend of mine who seems to have given her heart to German Shepherds. During my last conversation with her, I told her I can talk about dogs for centuries without even getting tired. She said, "well you have a friend here who loves talking about dog – especially GSD". Are you wondering why I'm talking about Rizia? Well guys, I just want to let you know that she has been the first one to inspire me to write about gene dilution in German Shepherd Dogs. My last post on Gene Dilution in German Shepherd Dogs was written being inspired by Rizia. Truth be told here… I had written the article on GSD gene dilution for blue and liver pigments some times back in 2007, but never published it until I felt the urge post it after having days of discussion with Rizia. I would like to thank her because of this. Rizia, let your love for German Shepherd Dog never stop!
This is again another piece of information about German Shepherd Dog gene dilution. Regarding German Shepherd Dog coat color the SV breed standard said, "the color of the GSD is in itself not important and has no effect on the character of the dog or on its fitness for work and should be a secondary consideration for that reason. The final color of a young dog can only be ascertained when the outer coat has developed." It is hence, beyond all controversy, that amongst all undesirable factors in the GSD breed, the coat color is the one that should be included as the last point in the list. My personal view is that if the coat color doesn't affect the working ability of the breed (which the breed is actually meant for), it should be excluded from the list right way so that the two mutations of black gene in the GSD: blue and liver are not considered to be faults in the show rings. GSDs have two pigment genes: melanin/ eumelanin (brown/black) and phaeomelanin (yellow/red). Melanin is normally black, which has two distinctive mutations in GSDs – blue and liver.
As per the standard the blues and the livers are genetic faults, and no reputable German Shepherd Dog breeder will breed these so-called faulty genes. The GSD breeders, who breed these genes, with both parents as carriers, end up with a shallow genetic pool. In most cases the liver and blue puppies usually come by accident. Frankly speaking, I haven't yet come across a breeder who breeds to produce liver and blue pups deliberately. But here, again the same thing, I would like to say. If the color genes don't affect the working ability, character and behavior of the breed, what's harm in livers and blues? This is a very debatable question and I won't go in for arguments and debates, nor would I like to criticize any bloodlines. I would rather say that diluted dogs may descends from high quality specimens from top bloodlines that have proved even in the Schutzhnd trial fields.
Just a gist about Blue and Liver genes in German Shepherd Dogs
Blue Gene in German Shepherd Dogs
- Double recessive color gene
- Rare color
- Dilute gene, which means it dilutes the black pigment in the dog.
- Considered a disqualifying fault by the AKC.
- Double recessive color gene
- Rare color
- Dilute gene that blocks the black pigment in the dog.
- Considered a disqualifying fault by the AKC

This year's 17th special session of the Illinois General Assembly ended the way it began Wednesday, with no agreement on mass transit funding or a public works construction program and no immediate prospects for one.
This year's 17th special session of the Illinois General Assembly ended the way it began Wednesday, with no agreement on mass transit funding or a public works construction program and no immediate prospects for one.
The House Wednesday night rejected a plan to give Chicago-area mass transit systems an infusion of cash to avert threatened service cuts and fare increases. The bill got only 57 of the 71 votes it needed to pass.
But even if the House had OK'd the legislation, it was going nowhere in the Senate without an accompanying capital construction program and a massive expansion of gambling to pay for it.
"If it passes the House and comes to a vote in the Senate, it will fail," Senate President Emil Jones, D-Chicago, said hours before the House vote.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who called lawmakers into special session Wednesday to deal with mass transit funding, issued a statement calling them into yet another special session today (Thursday). He said today's session should be devoted to both mass transit funding and a capital bill.
"The message from the legislature is clear: Members will not pass a solution for the mass transit without a capital infrastructure plan," Blagojevich said in the statement.
However, House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, said he thinks mass transit and public works should be dealt with separately.
"I want to reiterate what I have said all along, that I for one will not hold transit riders hostage for casinos," Madigan said. "I'm here to work on both problems, but I'm not going to be holding transit riders hostage for casinos."
Madigan is the only legislative leader who feels that way.
"The big elephant (a capital bill) is still there, and we must deal with that," Jones said. "Downstaters are willing to vote to help pass mass transit, providing there's a capital bill."
Senate Minority Leader Frank Watson, R-Greenville, a major proponent of a public works spending initiative, agreed.
"You can't do one without the other," he said. "Our leverage, as people who are advocates of a capital bill, is mass transit."
The Republican leader in the House, Rep. Tom Cross of Oswego, sent a letter to lawmakers saying that mass transit funding "must be integrated with a sustainable capital bond program."
The capital bill would pay for road and bridge projects, school construction, university buildings and other public works projects statewide. Downstate lawmakers from both parties in the House and Senate are demanding that a capital bill be passed as a condition for them to support the mass transit funding bill to benefit the Chicago area. Their votes are needed for the transit bill to pass.
Madigan has vowed to work on a capital bill and the gambling expansion to pay for it.
However, given the atmosphere of distrust that's permeated the Statehouse all year, many rank-and-file lawmakers are skeptical that a capital bill will get passed if mass transit is taken care of first. Nine downstate Senate Democrats issued a letter Wednesday insisting that a capital bill be done in conjunction with a mass transit bill.
"There's a lack of trust on many fronts," said Sen. John Sullivan of Rushville, leader of the downstate Senate Democratic caucus. "We need assurances that both of these issues will be addressed, and the only way we see to do that is that they are done at the same time."
The mass transit bailout bill that fell 14 votes short of approval in the House Wednesday night would have diverted $385 million in sales tax money from gasoline purchases to Chicago-area mass transit systems. The idea was crafted by Cross and supported by Blagojevich.
Madigan initially supported an alternative plan calling for a small sales tax increase solely in the area served by the mass transit systems, but on Monday, abruptly changed his position and said he supported the statewide tax diversion.
But that proposal drew opposition from lawmakers in both parties. Cross voted "present," saying Madigan was simply playing games by calling the bill for a vote.
Others complained there were no firm plans to replace the sales tax revenue being diverted.
"The bill creates a $400 million hole in the budget with no money coming back in to fill it up," Watson said. "That's not responsible."
Rep. Frank Mautino, D-Spring Valley, said he would be hard-pressed to explain to his constituents that he voted to send money to Chicago transit systems while needed projects in his own area aren't being funded.
"It's not the dumbest bill I've ever seen, but I haven't read them all. It's close," Mautino said.

Hey,when you get around to doing the form 1 you might want to consider going the trust route for your form 1 . You can download a copy of quicken willmaker ( you can even pay for it if you feel like it ) and fill out a revocable living trust . Its like a will. You can put whatever you want on the trust documents as far as property to be divided ...or you can put nothing except the SILENCER. Then you get the document notarized and send a copy of it in to the BATF with your form 1 . No CLEO signoff required. No pictures. No fingerprints. And its good forever. Trust transfers and form 1 signoffs seem to be taking about half the time as regular NFA signoffs since they don't do a background check. If your state allows SILENCERS theres no reason why you won't be approved....or your revocable living trust that is. If you croak it also gives a place for your SILENCER to go without you having to worry about it...while your dead.
I've always worried about the worry I might have to worry about when I die.
Man I need to get the hell out of Kalifornia............I want a silencer

Dimension Films has set the release date for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. In a press release, the studio announced that Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's sequel to Sin City will open in 3D on October 4, 2013. The press release also confirms that Mickey Rourke will return to play Marv (because A Dame to Kill For is really more a prequel than a sequel), and adds that Jessica Alba will reprise her role as Nancy Callahan. We previously reported that Rosario Dawson would be returning at Gail, but the press release makes no mention of the actress. Rodriguez and Miller co-wrote the screenplay with Oscar-winning screenwriter Willliam Monahan (The Departed). Dimension says, "The script and details of the film's story are being kept tightly under wraps," but you can find a synopsis for Miller's graphic novel after the jump.
Currently, the only other film set to be released on October 4, 2013 is Henry Selick's untitled animated film.
Here's the synopsis for Frank Miller's graphic novel Sin City: A Dame to Kill For:
The second volume of Frank Miller's signature series is now planned as the lead story in the upcoming Sin City 2! This newly redesigned edition sports a new cover by Miller – some of his first comics art in years! Stuck with nothing but a seedy gumshoe job and some demons, Dwight's thinking of all the ways he's screwed up and what he'd give for one clear chance to wipe the slate clean, to dig his way out of the numb gray hell that is his life. And he'd give anything. Just to feel the fire. One more time. But he can't let himself lose control again, can't ever let the monster out. And then Ava calls. With a new look generating more excitement than ever before, this third edition is the perfect way to attract a whole new generation of readers to Frank Miller's masterpiece! [Amazon]
And here's the press release:
New York, NY (14 May 2012) — Dimension Films announced today that the highly anticipated sequel FRANK MILLER'S SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR will open nationwide on October 4, 2013. Casting is underway, with original cast members returning to work with directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, from their script co-written by Academy Award® winner William Monahan . Academy Award® nominee Mickey Rourke and Jessica Alba are already confirmed to return.
The script and details of the film's story are being kept tightly under wraps. The remaining cast will be announced shortly with some huge names expected to fill the roles of Sin Ciy's newest characters yet to be seen on the big screen.
The original SIN CITY broke new ground with its iconic stylish look and grossed over $160 million worldwide. FRANK MILLER'S SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR will not only bring fans back to the world that Rodriguez and Miller created, but will also add a new dimension by bringing their unique visual style to life in 3D.
The film will be released by Dimension Films in the US and Canada, and produced by Quick Draw Productions, AR Films, Miramax and Solipsist.
Aldamisa International's C.O.O. Jere Hausfater and President of International Sales and Distribution Nadine de Barros and will oversee international sales for this project at the Cannes Film Festival.
The film is expected to begin production this summer at Robert Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas.

Americans are experiencing icy conditions, flash floods or record-high temperatures depending upon where they live. As thousands sit without power in the Midwest, the East is experiencing unseasonably warm weather. NBC's John Yang reports.
Thousands of people faced the prospect of spending the holidays in the dark, after a huge ice storm knocked out power throughout the Midwest and New England.
Almost 400,000 homes and businesses in Michigan, upstate New York and northern New England were without electricity Monday morning after thick ice felled trees and brought down power lines, according to utilities companies.
While lights came back on in many homes in upstate New York and Vermont, power companies in Michigan and Maine reported larger numbers of outages as the sun set on Monday.
Brad Hoving, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids, Mich. – the state with a bulk of the remaining power outages — said many people may still be using candlelight until Thursday.
"It's a big deal," Hoving told The Associated Press. "It's Christmas and we've just had a major ice storm."
The Midwest was hammered by deadly storms and flooding over the weekend and ice storms ravaged parts of the Northeast, while record warm weather was reported along the east coast. NBC's Dylan Dreyer reports.
The Red Cross set up a shelter at Middleville, Mich., United Methodist Church, but Pastor Tony Shumaker said the crowd was getting too big and needed additional accommodations like showers, so they would be moving to a local school. Church members planned to cook a Christmas dinner and bring it to the school for people who were still without power on Wednesday, Shumaker said.
Shumaker said regardless of the inconvenient timing of lost power, the people housed at the church "seem to be in pretty decent spirits, they're glad to have a warm place to go to."
One of Michigan's power providers, DTE, said crews were working "around the clock" and 90 percent of the 83,000 customers without electric would be restored by Christmas Eve.
Stephanie Burnham, in Clarkston, Mich., was one of the luckier people who had their power restored.
"We had just finished making dinner and ... we cleaned everything up. Then our power went out, so we got all our candles and set up our generator," she told ClickOnDetroit.com.
"They told us it wouldn't be back until Christmas so we were like, 'Oh no all of our food!' But they did a great job."
More than 1,000 utility workers from other companies and states headed to Michigan to help Consumers Energy customers out of the dark. Still, Consumers said more than 200,000 remained without power, and many areas in the southwest portion of Michigan would not have their electricity fully restored until after the holiday.
"We might be spending Christmas at a middle school," said Dawn Bishop, whose town of Dutton, Mich., lost power on Sunday. She said she was "a little nervous" about the possibility, but that she, her husband and her son — who is special needs — have been "taken care of very well" by the Red Cross. While Bishop's Christmas plans remained uncertain, she stayed optimistic. "I'm sure we'll be home by New Years," she said.
Michigan was hit with half an inch of ice over the weekend, said Brian Hurley, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service. "A quarter inch of ice is pretty damaging. When you talk about a half inch, that'll take down trees and power lines," Hurley said.
By Monday morning, "you could skate down our road," Bishop said.
Heavy snowfall buried parts of the northern Midwest, with the heaviest covering coming in Larned, Kan., which saw over 15 inches.
Mike Groll / AP
Heather Griffin, of Buffalo, N.Y., and her dog Sal walk beneath ice-covered trees on Sunday, Dec. 22, 2013, in Buffalo. Snow and ice knocked out power in parts of Michigan, New England and upstate New York over the weekend.
The storm also saw some 1,200 U.S. flights canceled over the weekend and delayed another 15,000, according to the aviation-tracking website FlightAware. Flights on Monday were less affected, but more than 300 cancellations and 6,000 delays hampered plans for people trying to get to their Christmas Eve destinations.
Nine deaths across the U.S. were blamed on the storm, the AP reported, including five people killed in Kentucky floodwaters and a woman in Arkansas following a 130-mph tornado.
In Canada, an additional five people were killed in weather-induced highway accidents. While crews restored power to almost 100,000 Canadian customers on Monday, over 200,000 in Toronto were still in the dark, according to Toronto Hydro electric company.
Elsewhere, New York City and Philadelphia saw record high temperatures, with shoppers taking to the streets in shirtsleeves. Still, temperatures would drop to seasonable levels by Tuesday. "The front which was responsible for all of the precipitation has cold air behind it," Hurley said.
Kevin Roth, lead meteorologist at The Weather Channel, said on Monday the worst of the storm was over, save for "one last gasp" to trouble commuters in the Northeast trying to see their friends and families before Christmas.
AAA predicted that a record-breaking 94.5 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more between Dec. 21 and Jan. 1.
"It will be a rough start to the week getting to grandma's house," Roth told NBC News. "For anyone thinking of taking to the roads in the Northeast, based on the forecasts it would be better to leave it until Tuesday, when the weather is set to be a lot quieter."
He said travel problems on Monday would be caused by a small amount of snowfall in northern Maine, around Caribou, as well as rain moving up from West Virginia to New England through the morning.
Temperatures in Massachusetts are still right around freezing and the state could expect some freezing rain throughout the day.
Other than that, Roth said, the weather would be quiet across the whole of the U.S. from Tuesday through the week.
Hurley said last-minute travelers were fortunate that the extreme weather system made its way through the country over the weekend. "It's going to be a pretty dry stretch here going into Christmas," he said.
A White Christmas – at least an inch or more of snow on the ground on Christmas day -- is forecast for much of the Midwest and the Adirondacks in upstate New York as well as upper New England, said Nick Wiltgen, meteorologist with The Weather Channel.
"Areas that don't have snow on the ground now are not likely to pick up anything over the next few day because most of the snow showers in the Midwest will be falling in areas that already have snow," he said. That holds true for the West as well, where "no surprises for a White Christmas" are expected, Wiltgen said.

Register Radio: Exorcisms in Gary, Ind. / Spiritual Formation Program in Kansas City, Kan.
On Register Radio this week, Elena Rodríguez spoke with Register correspondent Patti Armstrong about her interview with the Catholic priest who did exorcisms to free a Gary, Ind., family afflicted with demons.
Armstrong and her husband, Mark, are the parents of 10 children, including two adopted AIDS orphans from Kenya. She has a degree in social work and a master's in public administration and has worked in both fields. She has been writing for more than 30 years and has authored several books on raising families in the faith.
Many people heard about the recent exorcism in Indiana, when news broke at the end of January that a boy had walked up a wall backwards. Several adults witnessed this, including a nurse and a Child Protective Services worker. LaToya Ammons and her three children had been getting sick and dealing with unexplainable sights and noises in their home until they decided to call a Catholic priest.
Father Michael Maginot had never seen anything quite like it in 30 years of priesthood. As the judicial vicar many years earlier, there were a few times when people said their houses were haunted. He said that usually he would have a Mass said, and the problem would be resolved. Otherwise, he would have to refer the person elsewhere, because his bishop never put him in charge of investigations or exorcisms (he is not an exorcist).
In this Indiana case, the mother and her children were evaluated by a psychiatrist; their evaluations showed them to be of sound mind.
In terms of the strange occurrences, the kids would scream, talk in demonic voices, pass out, act as if in a trance and appear to be thrown about; it got so bad that their physician had them taken to the hospital by ambulance with a police escort.
The children had been taken away from LaToya the day that she called Father Maginot. LaToya is Baptist. She had heard about praying the Rosary and asked for a rosary. The first time it was given to her, it was found broken to pieces in the parking lot after she left. The priest's assistant put it back together and gave it back to LaToya.
When Father Maginot evaluated the family, he felt that once LaToya was exorcised, the frightening problems with the children would be cleared up, too.
Following exorcism rites, including a major exorcism that Bishop Dale Melczek of the Diocese of Gary gave him permission to perform, LaToya seems to be free. No other problems were ever reported by her or her children.
For more about this topic, you can read Armstrong's article "Parish Priest Aids Family in Fight Against Demons."
Spiritual Formation Program in Kansas
In the second half of this week "http:, Dan Burke spoke with Sister Debbie Li of the Apostles of the Interior Life (AVI) about an exciting spiritual-formation program developed under Archbishop Naumann in Kansas City, Kan.
Sister Debbie is a native of Singapore. Before entering the community of the Apostles of the Interior Life in 2003, she graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a degree in mechanical engineering.
The beginnings of the Apostles of the Interior Life can be found on the AVI website. Sister Debbie shared a short version. Canonically, the community is a private association of the faithful, founded under the Diocese of Rome in 1990 under the pontificate of John Paul II.
As part of her formation in Italy, she studied at the Pontifical University of St. John in Lateran in Rome, earning B.A. degrees in philosophy and sacred theology. She returned to the United States to minister at the St. Lawrence Catholic Center of the University of Kansas in Lawrence and then at the Provincial House of the AVI in Overland Park, Kan., offering spiritual direction, doing parish missions in various states and helping with the launch of the AVI Catholic Spiritual Mentorship Program a few years ago in the Archdiocese of Kansas City. More than 100 participants have attended.
The goal of the program, in the words of Archbishop Joseph Naumann, who invited the sisters to begin the program, is "to form an army of spiritual mentors, men and women who can walk with their fellow brothers and sisters in the faith," teaching them how to grow in their relationship with God, their prayer life, their pursuit of virtue and their ability to discern God's will.
"The real spiritual director or spiritual mentor is the Holy Spirit," said Sister Debbie.
The program is a two-year course made up of two parts. The core is four one-week training sessions held in four different months at the retreat center in Kansas City. Each week-long course addresses a different topic, focusing on the foundational elements of the spiritual life, such as prayer and a relationship with God, the sacramental life, virtue and the moral life and elements of discernment and how to make choices according to how the Holy Spirit is inspiring a person's life.
The accompanying distance-learning program includes 24 hours of audio coursework. A large part of that is based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
"What we're proposing," said Sister Debbie, "is a lifestyle. It's not just content that you give as a spiritual mentor, but you are passing on your encounter with Jesus Christ; and in order to do that, you have to first encounter him in a profound and an intimate way."
Enrollment has begun for the 2015 class. You can learn more at SchoolofFaith.com.

Different ball game for male and female footballers
Every year billions of people across the globe tune in to watch the UEFA Champions League in which men compete, yet the number who tune-in to watch the female equivalent is miniscule and research carried out at a North East University has discovered it is a whole different ball game.
For the first time both versions of the sport have been compared by the University of Sunderland to discover how the male game differs from that of the female game from a physical and technical point of view.
Research published in the journal 'Human Movement Science' analysed 54 male and 59 female football player observations in the UEFA Champions League. It is the first study to focus on high-intensity running in football for both men and women.
They found that during the course of a typical UEFA Champions League match male players covered approximately 3-5 per cent more distance in total than females but covered around 30 per cent more distance at high intensity. The research also showed female players did not cover as much distance in the second half at a high intensity as they did in the first half, while male players did manage to maintain their running performances.
There were no gender differences shown between attackers and central defenders; however male full-backs, central and wide midfielders covered more distance at high intensity compared to female players in the same position.
The research, 'Gender differences in match performance characteristics of soccer players', also showed the difference in technical characteristics with female players losing the ball more frequently and having a lower pass completion rate.
Dr Paul Bradley, led the research and is a Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Sunderland. He said: "We can clearly see that the male and female game at the top level is very different both physically and technically. It was very interesting to see fairly similar total distances but substantial differences at high intensity between gender. The larger drop off in running performance in the second half for females could be due and their lower physical capacity thus, the demands of the game cause fatigue in the second half."
It is now hoped the research can be used to provide gender-specific training for professionals in both male and female footballers to improve physical and technical performance.

No Surprise: NSA Stores All Metadata It Collects For At Least A Year, Even If It Has Nothing To Do With Anything
from the because-why-the-fuck-not,-that's-why dept
The latest revelation from the Snowden docs published by The Guardian is that the NSA's MARINA metadata system for internet data stores the information it gets for up to a year.
"The Marina metadata application tracks a user's browser experience, gathers contact information/content and develops summaries of target," the analysts' guide explains. "This tool offers the ability to export the data in a variety of formats, as well as create various charts to assist in pattern-of-life development."Note that this is different than the phone metadata that people have been talking about. This is "internet" metadata -- so browser history, contacts, etc. In other words, the kind of stuff that Dianne Feinstein accidentally admitted the US is scooping up by the boatloads by tapping the internet's backbone with help from US telcos.
The guide goes on to explain Marina's unique capability: "Of the more distinguishing features, Marina has the ability to look back on the last 365 days' worth of DNI metadata seen by the Sigint collection system, regardless whether or not it was tasked for collection." [Emphasis in original.]
The fact that they can look through it even if it hasn't been "tasked for collection" is pretty big. It again shows how the NSA keeps saying one thing (such as claiming they only keep data on people they're "targeting") is simply false. The NSA continues to redefine things. Information isn't "collected" until it's searched. And it's apparently not "stored" until it's moved into a different database than this one.
How does anyone take these guys seriously?

A Million People Sentenced to Madness?
David Luban
Salim Hamdan's lawyers argue that his prolonged isolation in Guantánamo has driven him out of his mind, according to this news story:
You mean, we should complain when Democratic Attorneys General make jokes about prison rape? Somehow I don't think that's going to be the legal academy's next crusade.
"If Cmdr. Storum is right, that means more than a million people driven into madness or near-madness in the grotesquely-named "corrections system.""
The alternative, and rather conspicuous to my mind, interpretation is that those people were mad before they were imprisoned, a hypothesis which is quite plausible in light of this graph.
Oh, and I also think there's an obvious difference between solitary confinement and single occupancy cells: In the former you can neither see nor speak to others, in the latter you merely can't touch others. I recall hearing that the cell walls at Guantanamo are fences, not walls.
Moussaoui and Padilla already tried this tactic and did not get very far. I suppose we can expect that this will be SOP for the other war crimes defendants in an attempt to gum up the process. The military might as well have their psychs preemptively examine every war crimes defendant to head off these claims.
As for the observation that half of civilian convicts have mental health problems, why is this surprising?
Mental health problems range from simple depression to complete psychosis. I am surprised the number who suffer from some measure of clinical depression in prison would not be higher.
Moreover, criminals come into the system with far more than their share of mental illness. I would be very surprised if terrorists had a lesser rate of mental illness. Well adjusted people do not naturally gravitate toward crime in general or terrorist mass murder in particular.
However, the issue here is not simple mental illness but rather insanity. Hamdan's pleadings demonstrate that he is acting out, not that he is insane. These pleas fail nearly all of the time in civilian court. I doubt a military tribunal will be more willing to entertain them.
I find it extremely implausible that the inmates who have developed mental illnesses as a result of the prison environment have been driven to "madness or near-madness"—i.e., psychotic disorders like schizophrenia. Anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and depression seem like far more likely responses to the prison environment.
If you're simply equating mental illness with "madness or near-madness" you are completely ignorant of what mental illness is. At best.
wow... i don't think i have ever come across a single blog that points out how low we have fallen than this. a post which mentions as a proposition that our national corrections system results in approximately fifty percent of the populaion developing some form of mental illness, and the first five responses represent some form of "so what, who cares". what is the matter with you people?
"No, it doesn't." is not some form of "So what, who cares?" There is much I don't like, even despise, about our penal system; The outrageous casual acceptance of prison rape, and other forms of assault. The simple fact that we're imprisoning people for 'offenses' which are none of the government's business to begin with.
But our prison system driving a large fraction of inmates nuts is not one of them. This has the causality backwards: They're there because they're too nuts to refrain from crime.
Various differences between our domestic prison system and Gitmo. There is more interaction with the outside, people close to you, lawyers, the justice system and often more of a chance to get out a lot sooner. And, probably more clearly guilty people.
Defining exactly what is occurring is tricky, but the human animal breaks down after awhile under certain conditions. This is the POINT to certain techniques used by the gov't. Confine a perfectly 'normal' person in these conditions, yes, it will cause great damage.
It is not just because they are crazy when they go in, though I'm sure there is some disproportionate numbers involved. Given Brett thinks many of our "crimes" are unjust, the fact they are "nuts" to the degree of breaking the law isn't really too nuts, huh? For instance, use of drugs many use w/o any difficulty.
But, some still suggest they are just "lying." Such people are lying to themselves.
You can end up in prison because you're too 'nuts' to refrain from crime, or resort to it because you're too 'nuts' to hold down a legal job, or because you're too 'nuts' to avoid detection. Either way, that a very large proportion of criminals are mentally ill or otherwise mentally compromised is well established, and not a recent development. In fact, it's so widely understood, I have a difficult believing David wasn't aware of this when he wrote this essay.
I frankly would not be surprised if a mere 10% of terrorists really were nutcases to begin with. It wouldn't make them much less sane on average than the general population...
I wonder how some of the commenters to this post might comment if the subject were white collar criminals, including corporate executives, attorneys, CPAs and other professionals, about doing the crime even if they get no or little jail time. Are these white collar criminals nuts? How many of them might have been nuts to begin with?
"Are these white collar criminals nuts?"
Sure. A lot of white collar criminals are high achieving sociopaths. That counts as "nuts", doesn't it?
I don't think Hamdan is crazy. I think Hamdan wants to avoid losing at trial. I think his defense attorneys are helping their client.
Both Brett and Bart de Palma point out that we should expect a large number of prison inmates to be mentally disturbed, because mentally disturbed people are more likely to commit crimes. I agree, and said so in the original post (without adding their explanation), where I was willing to concede for the sake of argument that half the inmates had mental health problems prior to imprisonment. That still leaves hundreds of thousands of inmates developing mental health problems while in prison. (The Liptak article I linked to states that 500,000 inmates are in prison for drug-related crimes. The drug trade is a business run largely by rational economic actors. There is no reason to suppose that a large number of people deal drugs because of personality disorders or other mental health problems.)
Brett: I have no idea what the graph you linked to is supposed to show. It shows us a rate of imprisonment that was more or less flat (150 inmates per 100,000 adults) from the mid-1930s until the beginning of the war on drugs, at which point it began to climb steeply to 600 inmates per 100,000 adults in the year 2000 – just what one would expect. And it shows a rate of residence in mental hospitals that began dropping in the early 1960s and has kept dropping ever since, to what looks like about 20 per 100,000 adults. That too is what we would expect, as a result of deinstitutionalization and better meds which permit more people to function outside mental hospitals. (The Community Mental Health Act passed in 1963, and deinstitutionalization has been the reigning mental health ideology ever since.) Unless I'm missing something, the two graphs don't have anything to do with each other, and they certainly don't show any correlation between mental illness and crime. I think you goofed and compared the imprisonment graph with the third graph (the solid line), and noticed they nearly coincide. Of course they do: the third graph is the sum of the other two. As the number of prisoners shot up, and the number of people in mental hospitals diminished to 3% of the number of prisoners, the sum of the two necessarily approximates the number of prisoners. That's not a correlation between crime and mental illness; that's arithmetic.
Elliott: You're right that "madness or near-madness" was literary overkill. I'm perfectly well aware that anxiety disorders and depression aren't schizophrenia. But they are often very severe conditions – and I don't think that "near-madness" is too much of an exaggeration – of their suffering, of how incapacitating the conditions are, or even of the fact that people with these conditions often behave very strangely.
Small correction to my last comment: The (prisoner + mental hospital) graph more or less coincides with the prisoner graph in recent years; before the 1960s, it nearly coincided with the mental hospital graph, because at that time the number of people in mental hospitals was far greater than the number of inmates.
Prof. Luban,
The problem isn't your correlation/causation mix-up, but rather that there is absolutely no proof that Hamdan is in fact being driven batty, mad, nutty, or crazy by the conditions at Guantanamo; those are simply claims made by his defense attorneys to have his trial put off. Presuming Hamdan innocent before being proven guilty is one thing; taking as Gospel the zealous advocacy of defense attorneys to the valets of terrorists is quite another.
there is absolutely no proof that Hamdan is in fact being driven batty, mad, nutty, or crazy by the conditions at Guantanamo
I'm tired of hearing this. What would constitute undeniable proof?
What would constitute undeniable proof?
Let's start with an independent doctor's evaluation. More than defense attorney claims, would be a start.
Can the defense attorneys have qualified doctors examine their clients for expert opinion and testimony purposes? Or do the special rules thwart the defense attorneys in preparing their clients' cases?
Let's start with an independent doctor's evaluation. More than defense attorney claims, would be a start.
Right, so I suppose Emily Keram's examinations don't count because she was hired by the defense.
Prof. Luban:
Hey, what are they complaining about? We've only driven 10% of them insane; in civilian prisons we drive 50% of the inmates insane.
CUm hoc ergo prompter hoc.
There's a resonable case to be made that, in the U.S., people end up convicted of crimes, in prison (at least in part) because they have mental problems.
OTOH, in Guantánamo, there's a resonable argument to be made that they're there because we were handing out big money bounties for warm bodies....
Dr. "Bart" DePalma diagnoses from the videotape:
Hamdan's pleadings demonstrate that he is acting out, not that he is insane.
Mortimer Brezny:
It sounds like defense lawyers are lying. Surprise, surprise.
Well, of course they are. They're defending Islamo-fasci... -- oh, sorry, forgot the latest 'talking points memo', "violent extremists". Of course anything they say must be a lie.
Prof. Luban:
There is no reason to suppose that a large number of people deal drugs because of personality disorders or other mental health problems.
There is more that anecdotal evidence to suggest that people get involved with drugs in part as "self-medication"....
The drug trade is a business run largely by rational economic actors.
Your evidence for this? And being "run [] by rational economic actors" doesn't mean that the vast majority of those incarcerated are such.
The topic is important and needs much airing and discussion. However, there is a lack of a health care provider perspective to explain and provide definitions of mental illness, insanity (legal and medical definitions), and causative factors versus relational factors.
Several points to keep in mind about the incarceration people with mental illness: over 50% of ALL inpatient psychiatric care is delivered in prisons in the US. Most often, people with acute symptoms of mental illness are unable to access appropriate mental health services in the right setting in a timely manner unless they are so wealthy that they can pay full cost out of pocket and access private resources. Quite often, families call police over their concerns for the suffering person's safety and welfare. Without appropriate healthcare providers and services to access, police take them into custody and often charge them with crimes such as disorderly conduct so that they will be in a supposed supervised safe place. Judges quite often remand people who should be receiving health care services instead into the prison system so that they can access some sort of health care and possibly medication administration monitoring. For those of you on the legal side, please speak to the mental health courts and their functions.
Add to that the people who are incarcerated with concomitant substance abuse and addictions, and that percentage of the overall prison population soars to around 75%.
We have effectively criminalized, permanently stigmatized and ostracized those with mental illnesses by defunding and withdrawing resources from mental health services and infrastructure while discarding the most vulnerable into the prison system where they are out of sight and out of mind.
I used to blog about it and related issues - link here
N=1: Thanks for your comment - I didn't know this stuff. A couple of questions: First, is the fact that more than 50% of in-patient mental health care is delivered in prisons simply a product of the fact that there has been such a drop of in-patient care nationwide, and prisoners are automatically in-patients? Or does it mean that in absolute terms there are a hugely disproportionate number of people with mental health problems in prison? Second, do you have any idea how many people are in prison because they were sent there to receive treatment? (That seems to be illegal in the federal prisons: Congress has declared "the inappropriateness of imposing a sentence to a term of imprisonment for the purpose of rehabilitating the defendant or providing the defendant with needed ...medical care...." 28 U.S.C. §944(k).)
In response to the criticism my comments have received, my answer is: Yes, more is necessary.
1. The doctor who evaluates Hamdan should evaluate him for an extended period of time.
2. Be hired by an independent organization, rather than his defense attorneys, like the International Red Cross.
3. Should produce a real medical report, rather than simply submit a lawyer-drafted affidavit.
4. Should be able to show a causal link between the symptoms observed and the conditions at Gitmo, rather than pre-existing conditions or other sources.
5. Actual documentation that shows that single-cell occupancy is in fact solitary confinement. A cell without a cohabitant is different than cell without a window, a drain instead of a toilet, and no bed.
The affidavit is weakest at points 4 and 5. Hamdan may have those symptoms for other reasons. For example, Hamdan may have always had a bad memory. Or may have PTSD because of terrorist acts he has seen his al-Qaeda brethren commit.
Is there a suggestion that the legal advocacy system does not function well for determining legal madness? Should the medical experts be limited to those hired by an independent organization? Who determines the appropriate independent organization and who pays its expenses? And how can the independent medical expert's opinion/testimony be challenged? Would due process (assuming it applies) then revert to the traditional legal adversary system? Or should there be a system like arbitration that often turns out not to be so independent, as with the securities industry?
The problem here is that the Bush Administration fears the results that might flow from the traditional legal adversary system. To update Willie Shakespeare "First, let's neuter the defense lawyers." (A next step might be to treat DUI cases outside the traditional legal advocacy system, starting in Colorado.)
Professor Luban wrote:
"....is the fact that more than 50% of in-patient mental health care is delivered in prisons simply a product of the fact that there has been such a drop of in-patient care nationwide, and prisoners are automatically in-patients?"
I'm looking for the figure -ah - here it is, but I believe that about 65% of all national inpatient adult psychiatric beds have been closed across acute care hospitals due to their cost or operation versus the abysmally low to zero reimbursement rates (if any).
"According to data cited in The Shortage of Hospital Beds for Mentally Ill Persons, in 1955 there were 340 public psychiatric beds available per 100,000 U.S. citizens. By 2005, the number plummeted to a staggering 17 beds per 100,000 persons."
"To determine a minimum number of beds needed, a consensus of experts involved in the study looked at specific criteria such as number of individuals who need hospitalization, length of hospital stay, and current state and federal financing structures. They also were asked to assume that effective community based services and assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) programs are available in all 50 states. Using these criteria, the panel concluded that 50 public psychiatric beds per 100,000 individuals is the absolute minimum number required to meet current needs. Eight states still don't have AOT and many states are in need of additional community mental health services, making 50 public psychiatric beds per 100,000 people a minimum requirement."
This was one of the driving forces in the recent Mental Health Parity Bill. Anecdotally, it is nigh unto impossible to find a bed for patient who does not have private health insurance, and only them if the patient meets medical clearance guidelines and very narrow admission acceptance symptom criteria. For the violent, unstable, medically fragile patient - it's usually a prolonged stay in a stripped holding bay in an understaffed and overcrowded emergency department until Haldol or other potent injectable antipsychotic drugs take effect, and then discharge - most times to the street and without follow-up care or access to care.
"Or does it mean that in absolute terms there are a hugely disproportionate number of people with mental health problems in prison?"
Yes, and the link to a former post outlines this in more detail. There is also a NYT op-ed with graphic which illustrates the extreme rise in the prison population with the concomitant extreme decline in inpatient psychiatric admissions.
"Second, do you have any idea how many people are in prison because they were sent there to receive treatment?" (That seems to be illegal in the federal prisons: Congress has declared "the inappropriateness of imposing a sentence to a term of imprisonment for the purpose of rehabilitating the defendant or providing the defendant with needed ...medical care...." 28 U.S.C. §944(k).)
The graphic gives a rough estimate of that, but this link provides evidence from the psychiatric literature, and this link is from the DOJ study, Mental Health Problems of Prison and Jail Inmates.
Thanks very much for your interest, Prof. Luban.

- This page is about the plant. For the item, see Cactus (item).
The Cactus is a plant found in the Desert biome. When cut down with an axe or otherwise destroyed, varying amounts of cactus (item) will be generated, similar to the way a tree drops wood. Cacti range from 1 - 10 blocks high.
Cacti grow over time, starting as a 1 block high clump. Each branch on a Cactus cannot grow outwards more than 1 block, but they can grow upwards until they reach 10 blocks from the base- they can be taller than the stalk. Cutting one cactus down can yield up to 12 cactus. Unlike trees, cacti will regrow if you leave a stump in place.
Cacti have been known to grow underground with an open sandy area and torchlight.
As of v1.2, Cacti can now be used to create furniture, armor, and weapons.
- Destroying any Sand underneath the Cactus will immediately destroy the entire Cactus above it.
- Cacti can only grow at least 378 blocks from each edge of the world, as to prevent the growing of cacti in the Ocean biome.
- The Cactus can be spawned anywhere from a five block wide and a two block tall patch of sand.
- Hallowed and Corrupt variants of cacti will spawn in hallowed deserts and corrupt deserts. Even though different in appearance, all cacti drop the same item.
- Cacti can grow Pink Prickly Pears on them, which are used to make Pink Dye.
Update Info
- Cacti transform in Hallow, Crimson, and Corruption.
- Can now be used to create Cacti Furniture, Armor, Blocks, Walls, Tools and Weapon.
- Cacti no longer deal damage to the player.
- Cacti no longer break blocks above them and no longer knock the player back on contact.
- Added to the game.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Penn State distinguished professor Mary Beth Oliver has been granted fellow status in the International Communication Association.
Oliver, a member of the Department of Film-Video and Media Studies, will be honored Saturday, May 24, during ICA's annual conference in Seattle. The primary consideration for nomination to fellow status is a documented record of scholarly achievement.
Oliver specializes in media and psychology, focusing on both the psychological effects of media and on viewers' attraction to or enjoyment of media content. Her research includes studies pertaining to emotional and cognitive responses to media entertainment, media violence (including horror and suspenseful films), reality-based television programs, gender and media, and media portrayals of racial groups and the effects of such portrayals on viewers' racial attitudes.
Oliver teaches media effects, communication research methods and data analysis. She has co-edited two books: Media and Social Life (2014, Routledge) and Media Effects: Advances in Theory and Research (2008, Routledge); and her work has appeared in the Journal of Communication, the Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media, Communication Research, Human Communication Research, and Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly, among others.
She was the recipient of a Fulbright award in 2006 to study media stereotyping of Maori populations in New Zealand. She currently serves as co-editor of the journal Media Psychology and has served as associate editor of the Journal of Communication and Communication Theory.
ICA is an academic association for scholars interested in the study, teaching and application of all aspects of human and mediated communication. ICA began more than 50 years ago as a small association of U.S. researchers and is now counts more than 4,800 members in 77 countries. Since 2003, ICA has been officially associated with the United Nations as a non-governmental association.

In some areas, summertime arrived early as many are already dealing with high heat and humidity. Animals, cattle included, have difficulty regulating their body temperature during extreme heat. There are some common sense things we can do to help them manage this problem.
One of the most vital things to consider is water supply. Consuming water is the quickest and most efficient method to reduce body temperature. Water prevents dehydration and allows heat to be dissipated through evaporative cooling and urination. Water sources should be kept clean and assessable to encourage water consumption. It is important to be sure there is sufficient space for all animals to drink. Water tank space can vary greatly in management systems.
In systems where the animals are a close distance to water and drink periodically, two feet of tank perimeter per head is usually adequate. In range situations where the entire herd moves to water and drinks at one time much more space is needed. Possibly up to two foot per head. Storage capacity, low flow rates and unfamiliar taste can also have a negative impact on water consumption. Range systems should be able to supply the days supply in a four hour period and in a dry lot situation within an eight hour period.
This is a time of year that in parts of the country many cattle are processed for the summer. Internal (dewormers) and external (flytags) parasite control programs are often utilized during this season.
Processing timing should be planned to avoid weather stress events. Heat stress is a very real event which decreases the animal's ability to respond to vaccines or compensate for other stresses such as processing or disease challenges. In warm weather, both temperature and humidity levels should be evaluated and cattle working should be avoided when the Temperature Humidity Index is 80 or above. Cattle do not cool down immediately after a hot day; it may take up to 6 hours for heat dissipation to occur. Thus, cattle worked at the end of the day or immediately after sunset may still incur large amounts of heat stress.
During the hot times of the year, early morning is optimal for working the cattle because we have had the maximum time of heat dissipation overnight. Try to complete processing before it begins to get hot again in the morning (by 8-9 am).
To add even further to the issue of heat is the issue of fescue. Fescue is both a blessing and a curse. Cattle grazing endophyte infected tall fescue may present a variety of symptoms associated with the toxic principles in the endophyte (a fungus that is not visible to the naked eye, but lives within the grass). Visible signs in the cattle may include failure to shed their winter coat in summer, shaggy appearance, or sloughing of tail or hooves in winter. Many of the signs of toxicosis may be harder to see and include peripheral vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels reducing blood flow to extremities), high body temperature, increased respiration rate (a cooling mechanism for the cattle), reduced forage intake, and decreased weight gains. In breeding herds, fescue toxicosis may present as a reproductive disorder by contributing to low pregnancy rates.
Tall fescue toxicosis is responsible for the "summer slump" sometimes noted in growing calves grazing on pasture. The increased body temperature causes animals to seek shade and frequently stand in the ponds or creeks. Management suggestions for dealing with stands of toxic tall fescue include: dilution, grass management and animal movement. Stands of tall fescue can be diluted by interseeding legumes (clovers and lespedeza) and other grasses or supplementing cattle with other sources of nutrition at specific times of year. The dilution of the toxin through other feedstuffs diminishes the signs of toxicity in the animals.
Proper grass management is important because the alkaloid levels are highest when the seedheads are present. If you can keep the fescue in a vegetative state for as long as possible, then remove the animals when the grass goes to seed, you will minimize the impact of this syndrome. Clipping pastures also helps because it removes the toxic seedheads and the top of the grass canopy, permitting legumes to receive the much needed sunlight to grow.
Like people cattle do not like to eat in the heat of the day. Changing feeding patterns may be an option. This is especially useful for cattle that are not in a pasture setting. Feeding 2 -4 four hours after the peak ambient temperature may help keep consumption more regular.
Lastly it is often desirable to provide shade. There are two things to be aware of when provided shade to heat stressed animals. If the area provided is not large enough the animals will congregate and can increase their body temperatures more than if there was not shade. Secondly, airflow is important. Shade needs to be provided in a manner to improve or, at the very least, not hinder airflow.
The heat of summer is unavoidable but steps can be taken to minimize the negative consequences. Remember to use good common sense to keep animals as comfortable as possible.

Note: some of this may be a waste of time, see http://askubuntu.com/questions/28538/will-gnome-2-aka-ubuntu-classic-desktop-continue-to-be-developed-after-11-04
After installing compizconfig-settings-manager, run it and go to General->General Settings->Desktop Size and set Horizontal Virtual Size to 5 and Vertical Virtual Size to 2. In Desktop->Desktop Wall->Viewpoint Switch Preview, deselect Show Viewport Switcher Preview. In Viewport Switching, set Wall Sliding Duration to 0 and Allow Wrap-Around. In Edge Flipping, select both of Move, Dnd (drag and drop). I left Pointer Edge Flipping disabled, it was too hard for me to avoid edge flipping while i was scrolling.
Disable the Fading Windows and the Animations plugins.
In Preferencs->Keyboard Shortcuts, set Switch to Workspace N to Ctrl-N for N from 1-10
Preferences->Appearance, change Theme to Clearlooks
In a Gnome Terminal, Edit->Profile Preferences->Colors, uncheck Use colors from system theme, select White on Black
I'd like to have a clean, readable, cheerful theme that has all text areas by default use white on black, but i can't find one. the popular ones that do this seem to try to be goth/edgy/stylish rather than clean and easy to read. i'm sure there is one somewhere though. If you want to look around, maybe these sites have stuff: http://art.gnome.org/themes/, http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=100 (selecting GTK 2.x?), https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy .
Install "desktopnova" (sudo apt-get install desktopnova) and add the wallpapers folder using "add folder", then in Settings, "Change wallpaper every launch", "Launch daemon every session", click Modules, enable the Gnome 0.2 module.
Rightclick on desktop, "change desktop background", set to "scale" and set background color to black (#000000)
Preferences->Windows->Select windows as mouse moves over them, raise automatically with a delay of 2 seconds
In a Gnome terminal, go to Edit->keyboard shortcuts, select Help->Contents (by default bound to F1), and type backspace to unbind it. I do this because some applications (notably mutt) offer their own help when you press F1.
In a Gnome terminal, go to Edit->Profile Preferences->Scrolling, change scrollback to 100000 lines. Go to Edit->Profile Preferences->General, uncheck "Use the system fixed width font", and increase the font size (i use 13 instead of 12).
Note that session saving is being removed from Ubuntu 11.04 (natty) (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/726431 ), so there's not much point bothering to configure it. I think this is a shame because session saving provided a convenient way for me to place various application on various virtual workspaces (I like to have Firefox, an emacs server, and 5 shells each in a separate virtual workspace, each maximized), save that configuration, and then have it appear at each startup. This can be done using devilspie (possibly in conjunction with the gdevilspie GUI frontend to devilspie), but it's more of a pain and probably difficult for non-experts to understand. Nevertheless, that's what I did.
First, I used Preferences->Startup Applications to configure a list of applications that I want to start automatically:
Here are the entries in my .devilspie. Some notes on using devilspie with compiz (the default Ubuntu window manager): (a) you have to use "set_viewport" instead of "set_workspace" (thanks to [1] (b) you can only place windows on viewports in the first row (i.e highest vertical position) (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devilspie/+bug/380880 ).
Compiz's Place Windows can't be used instead of Devilspie because Compiz doesnt seem to Place Windows that are opened in Starting Applications ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/727098 ).
Preferences->Keyboard->Accessibility, check Simulate simultaneous keypresses, uncheck Disable stick keys if two keys are pressed together.
I use a variant of the Colemak keyboard layout, an alternative to QWERTY that seems to me to be both more ergonomic and more efficen. Although I recommend it, I'm guessing that most readers won't want to switch their keyboard layout and most of the remainder will want to just use standard Colemak, so most people will want to skip this subsection.
Preferences->Keyboard->Layoutsm Add.., by language, English, USA Colemak. Move Up, select the old default layout and Remove the default layout. Options..., CapsLock? key behavior, Make CapsLock? an additional ESC. Key to choose 3rd level, none (deselect all)
To swap parentheses and braces, put the following in your .Xmodmap (thanks [2] -- i had had this idea independently, but e supplied the xmodmap recipe) (i put it in .xmodmap instead of .Xmodmap, it worked):
keysym bracketleft = parenleft braceleft keysym bracketright = parenright braceright keysym 9 = 9 bracketleft keysym 0 = 0 bracketright
Next time you login, you'll get Gnome's "Load modmap files" dialog. Move .Xmodmap to the Load side, then exit the dialog, leaving the don't-show-this-again box checked.
To remove the need to enter your password in order to connect to wireless network, Preferences->Passwords and Encryption keys, first tab (Passwords). Right click on the entry "Passwords: login", select Change Password, and change it to blank. There is an insecurity warning for you to accept. (thanks to [3])
To remove the need to login at boot, Administration -> Login Screen Settings, unlock it, and enable Log in as ____ automatically (thanks to [4])
To make the screen stop prompting for a password upon resume from suspend:
gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/use_screensaver_settings false gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/hibernate false gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/suspend false gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_lock_screen true
System -> Preferences -> Power management
On AC Power tab:
On Battery Power tab:

Now, what i actually did was a little different. I temporarily enabled the natty repos in /etc/apt/sources.list (by adding the line "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted"), then i ran "sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install firefox" to upgrade Ubuntu's primary Firebox to a 4.0 beta. Then i took out the line that i had added to /etc/apt/sources.list and ran "sudo aptitude update" again, to prevent any other natty packages from being installed in the future. But I don't recommend doing that unless you know what you're doing.
Go to about:config
Type in services.sync.log.appender.debugLog.enabled (case matters!)
Set it to true
Restart Firefox
This will allow you to monitor your initial sync so that you know when it is done.
Now do Tools->Set up sync
After your initial sync is successful, go back to about:config and set services.sync.log.appender.debugLog.enabled to false again.
Install add-on compatibility reporter if you want to use the old, "incompatible" versions of addons with a newer firefox. Currently I use this to be able to use Delicious.
I listed the addons I like here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/bayle-shanks/bshanks/ . Other firefox tips are here: http://bayleshanks.com/tips-computer-firefox
sudo aptitude install offlineimap
for syncing email with an IMAP server -- i use gmail.
here's my .offlineimap. I did
mkdir -p Mail Mail/mygmail to get the directory ready for offlineimap.
To add a cron job that calls offlineimap every 3 mintues, I did
crontab -e and then added this line:
*/3 * * * * offlineimap -o -u Noninteractive.Quiet
note: to import an existing Maildir folder into Gmail with this setup, you must not only move it into the mygmail folder, but you must also create a matching label with "create new label" in the Gmail web interface, and then sync. Everytime you create a new folder in mutt, you must do the same thing; "create new label" in the Gmail web interface.
for sending email to an SMTP server -- i use gmail. postfix will also queue up email and i believe it will automatically send it later if you are offline when you try to send it.
sudo aptitude install postfix
in the configuration questions that come up, i left the defaults, except for:
i used this method to configure it so that it will send using different gmail accounts depending on what the "from:" address is in the message i'm sending: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2009/03/13/configure-postfix-for-multiple-isp-client-smtp-authentication/ and http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/11/11/relaying-postfix-smtp-via-smtpgmailcom/
sudo aptitude install postfix libsasl2 ca-certificate libsasl2-modules

i created a file /etc/postfix/passwd that looks like:
# Per-sender authentication firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com:SecretP@ssw0rd1 firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com:SecretP@ssw0rd2 firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com:SecretP@ssw0rd3 # Login for the default relayhost [smtp.gmail.com]:587 GMAIL_USERNAME_TO_BE_USED_BY_DEFAULT:SecretP@ssw0rdDefault
secure and hash passwd by doing:
chmod 400 /etc/postfix/passwd postmap /etc/postfix/passwd postmap /etc/postfix/relayhost_map
(did i forgot to specify /etc/postfix/relayhost_map here? mb you need to do that too..)
import the thawte certificate by doing:
cat /etc/ssl/certs/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem | sudo tee -a /etc/postfix/cacert.pem /etc/init.d/postfix reload
i dunno if this is necessary, but i also edited /etc/aliases to alias postmaster to my user account, and then ran
postalias /etc/aliases
link my ~/Mail/local to my Gmail inbox so that i actually see the mails delivered to postmaster or root:\
cd ~/Mail; ln -s bsgmail/INBOX/ local
Now do
sudo /etc/init.d/postfix reload
note: there are TLS cert warnings b/c Google's TLS cert doesn't match what we gave it ("Mar 4 02:17:38 bshanks postfix/smtp[19962]: certificate verification failed for smtp.gmail.com[184.108.40.206]:587: untrusted issuer /C=US/O=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority"). the mail still seems to go thru. i think this is because we setup a thawte certificate, and now google uses equifax.
if you wanna do the certs the right way, i guess you have to do: http://www.marksanborn.net/linux/send-mail-postfix-through-gmails-smtp-on-a-ubuntu-lts-server/
note: to see what is in postfix's outgoing mail queue, run
postqueue -p. To flush the queue,
postqueue -f.

it calls myemacsclient, which calls myemacsclient_graphical, which uses wmctrl to switch to compiz viewport 2 (where i keep my emacsserver running) and then calls emacsclient.
i also put this in my .emacs (i use viper via viperre):
" (defun my-mutt-buffer-init () (text-mode) (auto-fill-mode) (viper-change-state-to-insert) (forward-paragraph) (next-line) )

http://www.clasohm.com/blog/one-entry?entry_id=90957 tells you how to use gnome-keyring to store the offlineimap passwords, encrypted. sudo apt-get install python-gnomekeyring. startup applications: /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon (with no args; the existing entry isn't good enough). doesn't work for me, though, at least not running from cron.
Administration->Update Manager, go into Settings, Other Software tab, and enable the Canonical Partners tab. Agree to reload. Now sudo apt-get install skype.
works ok, no configuration needed, but at nighttime, the picture from the webcam is dark, much darker than with "cheese". see bug https://jira.skype.com/browse/SCL-566?focusedCommentId=46099 .

(thanks to [13])
sudo aptitude install pdnsd
edit /usr/share/pdnsd/pdnsd-resolvconf.conf appropriately
todo (logcheck, tiger, snort, etc)
copy mytc to /usr/local/sbin/mytc.
Now do
sudo chmod u+x /usr/local/sbin/mytc sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/mytc /etc/init.d/ sudo update-rc.d mytc defaults
Note: you must edit /usr/local/sbin/mytc and make sure that the three parameters on top, INTERFACES, UPLINK, and DOWNLINK, are appropriate. You must speed test your connecting and then set UPLINK and DOWNLINK to something slower than your max speed.
The README in the comments in /usr/local/sbin/mytc tells you what mytc does.
By default, Ubuntu forces a fsck every 34 boots. To stop this:
sudo tune2fs -c -1 /dev/sda1
Now you should run fsck manually every now and then when you have some time. I think this command will reboot and then run fsck, haven't tried it yet though:
shutdown -rF now
sudo aptitude install preload
in /etc/preload.conf : mapprefix = /usr/;/lib;/var/cache/;/home;!/
not sure if preload is useful on Ubuntu since it has its own preload-y stuff. i use it because i'm guessing that the built-in stuff doesn't handle desktop applications, but i'm not sure.

" The Software Sources have been hidden in the menu Ubuntu 10.10 You can enable them again by doing the following
Apparently tmpfs is like a ramdisk, but if you run out of physical memory, it can use swap, too.
in /etc/fstab:
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777,size=12G 0 0
i tried to set /dev/shm to be bigger too using /etc/default/tmpfs but it didn't seem to do anything:
sudo vi /etc/default/tmpfs :
SHM_SIZE=15032385536 # 24 GiB = all of our memory + all of our swap + 8 GiB #doesnt seem to have an effect
I added the line "vm.swapiness=0", which tells the system not to use the swap unless it is actually out of memory. The swap is only there for hibernation, or in case its really needed. [18]
I would have used vm.swapiness=10, but I think 0 is better for an SSD, because you don't want to burn it out with spapping.
why is my firefox writing to disk every few minutes? is this from a plugin? you can see when processes write to disk by using atop and pressing "d". also, i may consider putting logs onto tmpfs to minimize disk writes to my SSD..
