The most ludicrous part of a government shutdown
Even as lawmakers demonstrate their continued dysfunction, they are among the federal employees considered essential -- and will keep getting paid.
Updated 12:15 p.m. ET Thursday.
Largely lost among the ironies and absurdities of the latest budgetary machinations in D.C. is this nugget: The members of Congress who failed to fund a host of federal operations starting on Oct. 1 are still getting paid during the government shutdown.
Even as they demonstrate their continued dysfunction, the lawmakers are among those federal employees who are officially considered essential -- or to use the gentler jargon that's been in place since 1995, they are "excepted."
"Due to their constitutional responsibilities and a permanent appropriation for congressional pay, Members of Congress are not subject to furlough," a recent report by the Congressional Research Service explains.
That makes sense, at least on some level. Congress would, after all, have to pass legislation to end any shutdown and get furloughed federal workers back on the job. Yet even if some 1.2 million federal workers have to stay home, the legislators who effectively sent them there -- the same members of Congress who so often struggle to enact legislation on anything more substantive than naming post offices -- would still get their paychecks. They might face political pressure to end the shutdown quickly quickly, but they have no money of their own directly at stake. Remember that thing your mom said about life not being fair? Add this example to the list.
Not all members of Congress are cashing in on their stalemate. More than 100 lawmakers have said that they will refuse compensation or donate the salaries earned during a shutdown, according to The Washington Post.
Other federal workers, meanwhile -- employees who have no say in whether the government stays open or not -- would at least have to wait to get paid. The last time the federal government shut down, about 800,000 federal employees got furloughed for five days between November 13 and November 19, 1995. The following month, after a short-term stopgap spending measure expired, some 284,000 employees were furloughed and another 475,000 continued to work without pay between December 15, 1995 and January 6, 1996. "Federal employees who have been furloughed under a shutdown historically have received their salaries retroactively," the Congressional Research Service report notes "However, there appears to be no guarantee that employees placed on shutdown furlough would receive such pay."
Would the dysfunction be any different if Congress had some skin in the game?
"We won't know until we try," says William Galston, a senior fellow at the left-leaning Brookings Institution who served as a policy advisor to President Bill Clinton. Galston is a co-founder of the group No Labels, which encourages bipartisan cooperation and originally proposed the idea of a "No Budget, No Pay" law – legislation to require Congress to pass its annual budget by Oct. 1 or lose their pay until the appropriations process is completed.
"We have to do something in this highly polarized situation to change the incentives, and if somebody can come up with a better idea than 'No Budget, No Pay,' fine," says Galston. "I'm of the view that there ought to be as much symmetry as possible between members of Congress and their constituents, so for example if government workers are furloughed, why shouldn't members of Congress experience the financial equivalent to that furlough, share the pain they're imposing on everybody else."
Rank-and-file members of Congress now get paid $174,000 a year. The Speaker of the House gets $223,500, while the president pro tempore of the Senate and the majority and minority leaders in both houses make $193,400. Including relatively lavish benefits compared to those most Americans get, congressional compensation now totals $286,000 a year, according to a recent report by the conservative Taxpayers Protection Alliance.
That's a fairly high salary, at least by the standards of most Americans -- it's 3.4 times what the average full-time U.S. employee makes, according to the taxpayers group's report. (The report noted that if Congressional salaries were cut to $100,000 a year, taxpayers would save $39 million a year.) Chances are, though, that at least some other members privately agree with Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA), who lamented recently that his staff could eventually go off and get highly lucrative lobbying jobs while he is "stuck here making $172,000." Gingrey got lambasted for that comment -- whining about that pay level is unseemly, and the congressman is certainly free to abandon his current run for the Senate and head down the well-worn path to K Street himself if he wants -- yet there's more than a kernel of truth it. Members of Congress make less than lobbyists or D.C. professionals.
On the other hand, many in Congress are wealthy enough that their level of pay might not make much difference -- and losing their paycheck for the duration of a shutdown might not be all that painful. The median net worth of the 112th Congress was more than $440,000, according to Roll Call.
Skeptics also suggest that stopping Congressional pay might not outweigh political factors, including the fear of facing a primary challenge that could cost them their job. "It might for a few members," says Norman Ornstein, resident scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute and a harsh critic of Congressional gridlock, "but the people who are angling to get a shutdown are driven by an ideological fervor that I think is largely immune to that kind of incentive, or disincentive."

A true democracy would survive ,but we don't have that luxury,instead we vote people that are popular or degrade their adversaries to convince the people they are the best alternative. Unfortunately the average perso swallows that bull**** and elects them in.

Challenger 350 on Track for Midyear Entry into Service
The Challenger 350 is on track to enter service in the middle of this year, Bombardier Aerospace confirmed on Thursday. As of the end of last year, 75 percent of the flight-test program had been completed and the new interior was certified on December 17, the company said.
Bombardier unveiled the Challenger 350–an upgraded Challenger 300 with a new wing, more powerful engines, larger windows and redesigned interior–last year at EBACE. The company converted its original Challenger 300 prototype to the full Challenger 350 configuration and has been flying it with these upgrades since March. The first production Challenger 350 joined the flight-test program on December 27.
The Challenger 350 has canted winglets on the new wing that make the airplane's wingspan nearly nine feet wider (at 69 feet) than that of its predecessor. The longer and stronger wing allows both for an increased mtow of 40,600 pounds and more fuel capacity, taking NBAA IFR range to 3,200 nm, about 150 nm more than the Challenger 300. A pair of Honeywell HTF7350 engines produce 7,323 pounds of thrust each, about 500 pounds more than the HTF7000s on its predecessor.
NetJets, the launch customer for the $25.8 million super-midsize jet, is scheduled to take delivery of its first Challenger 350 in May.

Duke of Gloucester officially reopens historic building
Duke to open historic aerospace building in Filton
The Duke of Gloucester is due to open a restored building in South Gloucestershire that played a key role in the history of aerospace.
Pegasus House in Filton was the original headquarters of the Bristol Aeroplane company. It hosted visits from royalty and even Cary Grant before it went out of use in the 1990s. It will house 300 Airbus staff after being renovated as part of a £70m investment programme.
Today's event will have a 1930s feel to it, celebrating the history of the building.
First flight of Filton-designed Airbus A350 to take place
The first test flight of the new Airbus A350 airliner takes place this morning [Friday] at Toulouse in France. Much of it was designed at Filton near Bristol.
Employees who helped to build the state-of-the-art aircraft will be able to watch the take-off live on giant screens at their site.
Rolls-Royce gives £1m to Bristol Aerospace Centre
Rolls-Royce will donate a million pounds to towards the establishment of the Bristol Aerospace Centre at Filton. It will also supply a number of heritage engines to the exhibition, including the Olympus 593, which powered Concorde.
It will be displayed alongside Concorde 216, the last of the super-sonic planes to fly.
Concorde plan 'turned down'
A preservation group dedicated to saving Concorde has reacted angrily to news that its offer to house the historic aircraft has been turned down.
The Save Concorde group says it could build a basic hanger far quicker and cheaper than current proposals for a museum at Filton, where the last Concorde to fly has been standing outdoors for the past ten years.
Instead the owners, British Airways, are backing a rival bid for a £12 million scheme now the subject of a revised application for lottery money.
Nick Clegg visits Airbus
Nick Clegg will visit Bristol today to announce new investment in the aerospace industry.
The Deputy Prime Minister will be given a tour of the Airbus site in Filton and host a discussion with workers from across the aerospace sector.
Final flight from Filton Airfield
A century of flight came to an end at Filton Airfield today. The airstrip north of Bristol is regarded by many as the birthplace of British aviation.
It is famous for producing Concorde - the world's first supersonic passenger plane.
But over the decades workers at Filton also created world war bombers and giant airliners, making the city one of the most important aeronautical centres in the country.
Robert Murphy reports:
Campaigners 'angry' over airfield closure
Last commercial flight takes off from Filton airfield
The last commercial flight has taken off from Filton's famous airfield. It happened just before midday. The airfield will close completely on New Year's Eve after more than one hundred years in operation.
Today owners BAE said it had signed a deal with a property developer for the land. The closure went ahead despite a big campaign by many Bristolians.
BAE Systems says it will continue to support site after closure
Filton Airfield will be closing today after its owners BAE systems, decided it was no longer financially viable.
BAE Systems is providing financial backing of two million pounds and a circa eight acre site at Filton to support the Bristol Aero Collection Trust in their plans to create an aviation heritage museum and learning centre.
We will also be providing 400,000 pounds worth of design, construction consultancy and project management support.
The role of the Great Western Air Ambulance at Filton...will also be protected. We will ensure that the Great Western Air Ambulance Service and the Police helicopters will continue to be able to fly from Filton following closure.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX150 Digital Camera is a versatile point-and-shoot with a sleek design and even more impressive megapixels thanks to its 18.2Mp Exmor R CMOS sensor. When you consider the camera's 1080/60i video capture functionality, it's easy to see why it's one serious memory-making machine.
The camera is helped along in its mission of making great memories by 10x optical zoom, 20x Clear Image Zoom, a Sony G lens, and a 3.0" Clear Photo LCD, among others. Of course the numerous auto functions also help you to make the most of each snap, by leaving all the leg-work to the WX150. Features like Background Defocus, Intelligent Sweep Panorama, Anti-blink and others all take the guessing out of shooting - no matter what the situation.
- 18.2Mp Exmor R CMOS Sensor
- The 18.2Mp Exmor R CMOS sensor captures ultra-high definition images that take full advantage of the camera's sharp Sony G lens. The sensor enables advanced processing that reduces noise levels more than other sensors, resulting in stunning low-light images with incredible details
- High Speed AF
- To improve focusing speed and sensitivity, the Exmor R CMOS sensor uses its rapid throughput to deliver high-quality images signals to the camera's BIONZ processor. The result is fast, DSLR-like focusing speeds, even in low-light
- Optical Zoom Plus Clear Image Zoom
- Clear image digital zoom maintains a high-resolution feel that is as precise as optical zoom and vastly expands the zoom range without lowering visible quality or pixel count in the final image. With By Pixel Super Resolution processing, the camera's 10x optical zoom range is extended, allowing full resolution 18.2Mp images with a maximum 20x zoom
- Full HD 1080/60i
- Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60i in 1080 AVCHD video. This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HDTV. With dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time
- Capture the Decisive Moment - Up to 10 fps
- Capture full 18.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure that the decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball flying into the goal. In addition, a mechanical shutter helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects
- Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode
- Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode for blur-free movies even while walking. Camera-shake compensation using Optical SteadyShot/Active Mode has been improved with the addition of new electronic image stabilization. Now it's easier than ever to obtain sharp, blur-free movies when zooming in unsteady situations, such as shooting with one hand while walking
- 3D Still Image and 3D Sweep Panorama Mode
- Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D still images and 3D Sweep Panorama capabilities. Photos will take on a new dimensions of creative capabilities for viewing the world in a whole new way
- Picture Effect
- Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Select camera models have up to nine different effects
- Intelligent Sweep Panorama HR Mode
- With Intelligent Sweep Panorama HR mode just press the shutter, pan the landscape, and let the camera do the rest. It automatically links together each frame to produce a high resolution panoramic image providing the ability to zoom in on small details. This model even detects faces and moving subjects to stitch intelligently different widths to help avoid subject distortion
- Background Defocus
- DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis on the subject. Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The system takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused background keeping the subject crisp and clear
- Superior Auto Mode
- Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. The camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using Backlight Correction HDR technology and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology. Superior Auto intelligently detects 33 scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best shot
- Photo Creativity
- Photo Creativity allows you to fine-tune your exposure settings, such as brightness, color, and vividness, and quickly choose the right enhancement for your subject. Now you can view Picture Effects and Photo Creativity effects in real time on the camera's monitor or in the viewfinder before shooting
- Face Detection Technology
- Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
- Smile Shutter Technology
- Smile Shutter technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter button and the camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can be used together with Smile Shutter mode when the Intelligent Auto mode is on. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting
- Anti-Blink Function
- It's frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to review it later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. The Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot
- Soft Skin Mode
- Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without affecting the rest of the shot
- Intelligent Scene Recognition Mode
- Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects 33 different types of scenes and selects the appropriate camera settings. iSCN has two modes: Auto and Advanced. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using the optimal settings. In Advanced Mode, the camera takes a photo with the optimal settings and, if in difficult lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with another optimized setting so you can choose which to keep
- Natural Flash
- Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash controls the white balance of both the background and main subjects
- Motion Detection
- Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces
- Sweep Multi Angle Mode
- In Sweep Multi Angle mode, the camera takes 15 images at different angles as it sweeps across the scene. By tilting the camera during playback, the camera's Gyro Sensor detects motion and displays the image in a 3D-like view on the camera's LCD
- Panorama Still Image Size
- HR (10,480 x 4,096) / Wide (7,152 x 1,080 / 4,912 x 1,920) / Standard (4,912 x1,080 / 3,424 x 1,920)

Yet Another Feisty Review
[ Tuesday, 19 June 2007, adz ]
I'd like to share with you my views on latest Ubuntu 7.04 version commonly known under the name of Feisty Fawn. Once I tested unstable version for several weeks but this time I've run a stable release.
Author: Adam Zieliński
The Spring of 2007 can be safely named Linux Spring in my humble opinion. We have been witnessing several important releases in a last few weeks. There was Debian Etch, PLD 2.0 and Mandriva 2007 Spring. Soon afterwards fifth version of Red Hat flagship product called Red Hat Enterprise Linux had its debut on commercial markets and Fedora developers released a stable version of their own system denote with number 7. Ubuntu release came as no shock to community. Its publication was the most awaited of all releases what can be attested by numerous reviews. And this is just another one
Little has changed since the previous release in terms of installation. LiveCD installer is still being used for hard disk installation (alternate Ubuntu version provides text installer). Such solution has advantages. It'll be quite enough to download installation CD instead of whole set of CDs. Fedora 7 will make use of similar solution. A very judicious selection of applications which were put on the CD can be added to Ubuntu's advantage. For comparison — such important applications like OpenOffice.org or gconf didn't find a route to the Fedora CD.
Feisty installer has been enriched with new option — exporting config files from Windows partitions. Unfortunately in my case NTFS partition wasn't discovered. So I have to believe the function works properly. Another bad news is still wrong detection of Linux partitions which goes on and on release after release. The installer has also another disadvantage of not having possibility to select additional packages. As it is able to download additional language packages, it should have been able to access other applications singled out by users!
To cheer you up I will add that probably Gutsy Gibbon will have a completely new installer.
What's inside?
If we successfully pass the installation process, we'll be invited to the known Ubuntu Desktop. But before I say something about it, let me say few words on something which is not visible but extremely important. Feisty Fawn's heart comprise of kernel 2.6.20. It contains a few novelties like paravirtualization and KVM among others. Those technologies are mainly part of server type of operating systems. With regard to the market for some time past Canonical do not hide the fact it wants to cut out a good part of the pie, which up to now was exclusively reserved for Red Hat and Novell. Of course, apart from virtualization, new kernel was upgraded with a lot of new minor and major functionalities. Regrettably, as far as my hardware was concerned a lot of petty but irritating errors had emerged. They are bound to energy management which is an Achilles heel of all distributions. On the other hand part of the guilt belong to hardware manufacturers which willfully do now want to accept the Linux existence.
Let my Desktop shine!
Feisty Fawn is the first Ubuntu distribution with Compiz desktop as part of default settings. If only the computer is equipped with graphics card supporting AIGLX, setting the fancy desktop could be done by ticking off one option only. For what I know ATI users may have problems with starting this type of desktop. I do not have such card so I can be wrong. Unfortunately the cause of the status quo of the things is ATI's policy in relation to drivers for open source community.
Pic.1 Scale is probably
the most practical compiz plug-in
Compiz basic drawback is lack of GUI program for plug-ins management and configuration options responsible for desktop special effects. Basic option window opened from menu System -> GNOME Preferences enables only turning on/off 3D Desktop, working areas arrangements on cube facets (famous cube) and "gel" windows. A small program for plug-in control can be installed but de/activation of selected plug-ins are not possible. All configuration options can be accessed with gconf only but that solution can cause beginners many problems. Unequaled example in that matter is Beryl Setting Manager.
I dare to say those of you who use Beryl think from time to time how Compiz can be compared to Beryl in terms of working speed and stability. To be honest I don't see much difference between these two managers when the plug-ins are activated. I must add that the users have of course a choice to take advantage of the Beryl Desktop but they have to turn a special repository on for that.
We eagerly await the first results from the works being done by joined Compiz-Beryl team. It may happen the new Desktop will appear in Gusty Gibbon yet.
Restricted extras — patents, licenses
One of the most important goals which was set by developers of this Ubuntu distribution was to facilitate access to applications, and drivers published with non-free licenses. The result is a meta-package called ubuntu-restricted-extras which makes installations of Java, Flash, Windows fonts, and multimedia codecs just a piece of cake.
Pic.2 Installation of Java, Flash,
codecs, and Windows font amounts to
installation of one package which
process all dependencies.
If it is not enough, in case of lack of a given codec, the program will ask for permission to search thru distro repositories and then for installation of the codec, just like Windows Media Player. With one exception, I was never able to identify and find a proper codec in Windows, whereas the same mechanism in Ubuntu worked flawlessly. When it comes to closed kernel modules, Ubuntu offers proprietary drivers manager which facilitates non-free kernel modules attachments/detachments.
Feisty Fawn isn't a revolutionary release. We should rather talk about evolution but with well defined direction. Ubuntu developers have surely a certain vision they adhere to and some positive results are shown to us in Feisty Fawn. Most of the errors I wrote about stem in general from the lack of desirable support from hardware manufacturers. None the less all found errors are worth to be registered. I know from my own experience that every report is met with vivid reactions from Ubuntu programmers' community.
Thanks to Ubuntu, famous slogan "Linux for Desktops" takes real shape and ceases to be a vision of a few computer freaks.

"Feisty Fawn is the first Ubuntu distribution with Compiz desktop as part of default settings."
If you know about Fedora and been tracking its releases how can you make a statement like this? Fedora Core 6 was released last September and included compiz….
I have got that my login screen was can't be shown after the boot. And if i use the "Desktop Effect" in Preference menu, the screen turn into a white blank form. I'm the new commer in linux world… so what problem that i've got ? Thank you…

You should adapt more careful reading habits. It was said only about Ubuntu, not about Linux distributions in general.
Overall, nice review. I just want to let you know that openSuSE 10.2 has quite nice GUI for managing compiz plugins. Why somebody cannot port that to other distros?
To Ubuntu: I'm still no friend of the migrating tool (never found a single thing on a windows or a linux partition) and the auto-codec installation (only works if you double click a mp3 (who does that tbh?)). If you want to play a mp3 file the regular way with rhythmbox, users get error message in their face. Other than that, for videos it worked quite good here!
To you review: Nice small reading, but some mistakes got into tbh ;-/ There IS a difference (in speed) concerning beryl and compiz, and last time i used Feisty i didn't have to activate any repository, because all of them (or most) are activated now by default. Fedora with no 'gconf'? That would hurt!
Have you got any link or so for the news of "ne gutsy installer & 3d-desktop" ?
Masz zły zwyczaj opuszczania rodzajników w j. angielskim.
Little has changed since the previous release in terms of installation. LiveCD installer is still being used for hard disk installation
Coś mi tu brakuje paru a i the.
Assuming the "paru" means "a few" we'll get a minimum number of those lacking "a"s and "the"s greater then or equal to 6.
Be more specific, please.
Nice review.
Forgot to mention Ubuntu's allergy to dialup post B Badger – Intel's PCI has be compiled – not user friendly while Trendnet's external modem also have problems (see pp 2-3): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=391956 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=301220

i've never found a ubuntu release that really created that "dude, i can't get enough of this" excitement. maybe it's the shape of my head or my mouth, or the fact i wear glasses. but, man oh man, linux mint cassandra really turns me on.
To bal0: Feisty Fawn found Windows accounts on my NTFS partition during installation though I didn't import the accounts.
My personal gripe with desktop Linuxs in general is that using official packages/repos, while stable, doesn't provide sufficient functionality. Installing contributed packages or compiling from source usually takes more knowhow than the average end-user is capable of and often introduces instability.
Ubuntu probably has the best balance of usability and functionality of the desktop distros I've tried but it's still far from being able to replace Windows for average end users.
For Ubuntu with no borders on enabling Desktop effects, try out
I have liked Ubuntu since the Dapper Drake distribution. Only complaint with Feisty Fawn is that the 2.6.20 kernel introduces "freezing" as in everything locks up especially when performing resource intensive tasks such as using Firefox and Thunderbird; watching movies, etc.
When is Linux going to do something with ATI cards. I have an ATI 8500 Radeon graphics card and I have to use a "shim" with Xine to be able to watch movies. Otherwise, I just get sound. That problem has never been fixed as far as I know.
Hope the online update from Feisty Fawn to Gutsy Gibbon goes a whole lot better than the update from Edgy to Feisty. Whew.
What I would love to see from Ubuntu is a recommendation — especially for graphics cards and external hard drives — for hardware that works GREAT with Ubuntu. Hey, make it a "feather in the cap" for a vendor to release compatible stuff. As in "optimized for Ubuntu"…would THAT be great!!
There is a Compiz Setting Manager that can be accesed from the Gnome Control center or you can install it form Synaptic.
i don't think hardware manufacturers are intentionally trying to screw with ppl. It would be just bad business. But up until now windows has really been the only mass os. the Linux world is divided up in to too many different distros for a manufacturer to deal with. Ubuntu has made Linux usable to compu-dummy's like my self. Cant Ubuntu develop some type of code it can offer to manufacturers, so the manufacturers can make there cards as easily fit Ubuntu as well as windows?
I'm sure that I'm not the only person to pick up Ubuntu because of the problems with Vista. If the Linux community could get behind Ubuntu, and say to the world at large make your stuff fit that and we'll take it from there; the manufacturing sector would gladly include Linux users as part of their consumer base.
After that the Mandriva, Fedora, Suse, etc. people could continue there bickering as to who tweaks it better and has the nicest logo.
I was using Dapper LTS and Dapper Desktop.
I did a full re-install of Feisty.
Those who say there are small changes are way wrong.
Samba was much more reliable in Feisty than in Dapper. I was able to get a mixed Windows/Linux networking in about a tenth of the time I did in Dapper.
Feisty has a lot of the little things streamlined.
Adding a LAMP server after the fact was a snap (a one-click process in Synaptic Manager), since somehow I didn't click on the LAMP button at installation.
Editing menus was easier.
Upgrading from Dapper LTS to Feisty is a non-brainer, but I could not do it stepwise. I had to do a clean install.
The most annoying thing is that I haven't figured out how to turn off notifications (Balloon pop-ups, ala Windows XP). They're driving me nuts!
Liked the review. But I would go for PCLinuxOS, simply because it is KDE based (though I am excited to see its gnome version) and better multimedia capacity and hardware detection.

First, make sure you're on the latest DOM revision, because I remember fixing a bug related to this a few weeks ago, but I can't say whether it was exactly this, because AFAIK this has always worked.
Make sure your custom getter is in the format get{FieldName}. That seems to be the error in your code. My guess is that getThumbnail() will return the intended effect. Does for me, anyway.
Re: Bug Reports
22 July 2009 at 1:09pm
Posting here too as requested.
The DataObjectManager ignores the inital sort order set through the object constructor when you switch from one page to another. The first page shows up sorted in that order but when you go to the next page the DataObjectManager seems to switch back to the default sort order.
Kindly, Marcus

Please switch DataObjectManager to jquery UI 1.7 if at all possible. It doesn't seem to cause any problems and for poor bastards like myself who use Datepicker field in other parts of the site, jquery UI 1.5.3 messes it all up.
Re: Bug Reports

Didn't realize it was that far along. Can you just confirm that you have made this change and nothing breaks? It will save me the time of testing it.

@uncleCheese - Thanks for that is was indeed the missing 'get' infront of the function name. It seems strange that only the ManyManyDOM needs to have the 'get' in front, while the regular DOM and all of the CTF's function fine simply using the same function name as the column call. Any idea why that would be (out of interest!)?
Anyway Thanks again.

Hmm it seems like the search function is broken . I always get all the results back no matter what I type in the search field. Is this part of the DataObjectManager related to jQuery UI in some way?
If it's not then something else is wrong.
This is the request string that's being sent
Re: Bug Reports
24 July 2009 at 6:38pm
In that request, you've done a search for "s", so if all your records have an "s" in them, then that's what you'll get. The search updates as you type, so if you type an entire word it will start filtering down.

I've got a bit of an annoying bug and I would be interested to know if it is just me, I use the VideoPopup without any modifications but when the user clicks on the thumbnail the popup expands and the audio begins to play but the video just displays the white play icon in the centre, clicking on the play icon starts the video and audio from the start.
Maybe related to this is that the bar at the bottom doesn't display the total time of the video, the incrementing time as it plays and the progress bar doesn't fill up as the video downloads or plays.
I don't know two hoots about flash so unsure where to start debugging but happy to provide more info if required.

Walter Energy Inc. (WLT, WLT.T) plans to cut production at its Willow Creek mine in British Columbia as the price of steel-making coal continues to languish.
The move will affect 250 of the coal miner's employees.
"While it is never easy to curtail operations at a facility, our commitment to idle operations where necessary is central to the company's operating plan," said Chief Executive Walter J. Scheller III.
The mine, which currently employs 350 workers, will continue to limited operations to support the company's Brule mine.
Mr. Scheller said the production cut was necessary to preserve the economic return from mining the site's metallurgical coal, which is used to make steel. Walter expects to ramp up production when pricing of steelmaking coal improves.
The Willow Creek mine is the fifth Walter has curtailed or idled as it addresses underperforming assets. The company previously said it expects a one-time charge of around $7.5 million in severance costs tied to Willow Creek operations.
Walter expects full-year metallurgical coal production in 2013 to be roughly flat from last year.
The coal company reported last month it swung to a fourth-quarter loss as lower prices for steel-making coal hurt its results. Walter has been affected by a slowdown in Asia's economic growth that has pushed down coal prices.
The company has been warding off criticism lately from hedge fund Audley Capital Advisors LLP, which has nominated a slate of directors to replace the majority of the energy company's board.
Shares closed Wednesday at $29.15 and were unchanged after hours. The stock is down 19% since the start of the year.

We want to provide a place where we can share our passion with others and hopefully give our customers an easy platform to enter into the world of firearms for the first time or extend their collection of quality firearms.

Who is T&Z Armory
Andrew Liszewski
Co-founder Andrew Liszewski was born and raised in South Bend, Indiana. Like most farm kids, he regularly found himself shooting varmint, deer hunting, and target shooting, which is where is firearms background began. After high school, Andrew attended Manchester College, and graduated with a B.S. in Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship in 2003. He worked in corporate America for about nine years, and decided to step out and start a business of his own in 2011. His enthusiasm for firearms and shooting sports naturally led him to the firearms industry, so he and long time friend Michael Pelini decided to start T & Z Armory Inc. His growing enthusiasm for personal protection started when Andrew got married and started a family, and the protection of his family became very important. He now wants to help others protect themselves and their families with the same confidence that he has protecting his family. He feels that T & Z Armory is a direct reflection of himself and his business partner, and wants to make sure every customer of T & Z Armory is not just a sale, but a lifelong relationship with an organization dedicated to service and quality.
Michael Pelini
Wow! You're actually reading this? Well, here goes…. Co-founder Michael Pelini was born and raised in New Castle, Pennsylvania. One of Mike's earliest memories includes his mother showing him his grandfather's Purple Heart. Having a father, two uncles, and two grandfathers in the military (albeit, one in the Italian military), Michael was introduced to firearms at an early age. He received his B.A. in business administration with a minor in psychology from Bethel College, Mishawaka, IN, in 2004. Since then Mike has been a retail manager, medical patient satisfaction consultant (get your mind out of the gutter) and even a field research assistant (basically against his will) at Harvard University for his wife, Dr. Pelini, an ecologist. Yes, you read that correctly- his wife was his boss; get your laughs over with now and pay attention. Realizing that long time friend Andy Liszewski needed someone smarter and better looking than himself to go into business with, Mike decided to join Andy in creating T & Z Armory. Both Mike and Andy are firearm enthusiasts with a genuine passion to reach out to new and experienced firearms enthusiasts alike. They hope that you enjoy their website and find their products, services, and expertise a value to you and your friends.

I was in Hastings the other day, they started playing Glee's cover of the Beatles "Let it Be". If that wasn't bad enough, I heard this little girl (13-15 yrs) behind me in line say she loved this song that the Glee crew wrote. I told her that the Beatles wrote this song and that Glee did a cover. She promptly tells me that I was wrong that Glee did it first and the Beatles did a bad cover of it. I was utterly speechless

My girlfriend and I have come up with nicknames for each other's "private parts." Our favorite game is to see how many times we can use them without anyone noticing. My top comment was telling her mother that it was her daughter's 'wit and charm' that first attracted to me. Hers is telling her mom that 'bubbles' was her favorite toy as a kid. I was initially upset that she named my member "bubbles" until the next thing that came out of her mouth was "I like to blow bubbles"

Frreelance (Reliance Accountants) : This was a mini branding project which included creating a logo, business card and a letter head for a new accountancy setting up in Huddersfield.
The briefing was a very good one, I was allowed total freedom in what I did no restrictions in colour choice or typeface usage.
When designing the logo i just wanted to make something very minimal and simple and just had some kind of good connection between the letter R and A. The colour of the logo I had a few choices of pastel colours for the client to pick from and from them he chose the blue (which was my number 1 choice too).
On the business card I have simply used an orange colour as a complementary colour against the blue. I had to somehow get the circle of the logo on the business card so I chose to do it half on one side and half on the other side which will make the customers look at both sides of the business card.

For a porcelain, pore-less like finish, set your foundation with POREfection Baked Perfecting Powder. Add a pop of color to the cheeks with Blush in Soul. Next, create come-hither eyes, starting with Behind The Scenes Eye Primer. Then, use LORAC's Ooh La Lace Baked Shimmer & Matte Eye Shadow Palette for sultry eyes. Use the lightest shade all over the lid, then a medium shade in the crease. Use a darker shade along the top and bottom lash line. Create a winged effect using Front Of The Line PRO Liquid Eyeliner along the top lash line. Finish your lashes with Multiplex 3D Lashes Mascara. In order to keep the focus on the eyes, apply a nude shade on the lips. Model is wearing Couture Shine Liquid Lipstick in Trendsetter.

Here are some other points to keep in mind w/ BHO...
Since he's put a lid on ALL his records, with only a few even being available (like his childhood records from Indonesia), we don't even know for sure if his mother was ever married to Obama Sr.
Is there record of a divorce?
Stanley Ann Dunham started classes in Washington State just 15 (FIFTEEN???!!!) DAYS after giving birth?? What? Back then, they kept women in the hospital for up to a week! How on earth was she able to leave Hawaii and start classes just 15 days after having a baby?
When Obama was first moving up in politics, "My Space" was the big thing for 'social networking'...and at one point, they had his age listed, making him born in 1957! When he was running for Prez, his age dropped! hmmmm...I know there were screen caps taken, I just don't have links, sorry. In other words, having him born before Hawaii became a state!
To me, if you look at photos of Obama Sr., and Frank Davis, and 'mix' each with a photo of Stanley Ann Dunham, BHO looks more like the son of Davis! *and yes, they not only knew each other, she posed for 'nudie pix' for him*...those too were floating around the web for a time.
Personally, I think he was born in the '50s, pre-Statehood, I bet on his 'long form' birth cert., it has 'father unknown'...and I'm also betting his mother never married Obama Sr.
Letters from him to his financial backer in Kenya do not mention a 'new wife' and son...but he does mention the wife he has back in Kenya! Now, unless Stanley Ann was actually IN KENYA when he wrote that, it means that O., Sr. had two wives!! Or, he had a child out of wedlock w/ BHO's mom...or...he never was the father, but was tagged as such for whatever reason (perhaps because she was 'with him' at the time she conceived her son).
I think, the only way a judge could get away with the 'cause embarrassment' excuse would be on something 'not' legal. And that would be that it either lists someone other than Obama Sr., as 'father' or it says 'unknown'....even then, it puts his eligibility into question, since the way the 'natural born' part reads, it seems a 'dual citizen' at birth should not be eligible....So, if he really is the son of a Kenyan born UK citizen and a US citizen, she should not be eligible. My guess is he is the son of "Uncle Frank"...but I also think he was born BEFORE Hawaii became a state! So, there again, I don't think he is legally holding the office.
No one spends that much time, money and energy hiding facts unless they are damaging facts.

General Information
The Sanisera Field School offers an archeology dig on Gibellina, a place located in the central part of the island of Sicily, in a Mediterranean landscape surrounded by traditional farming fields and vineyards with a long archaeological past. This course is for students who come from all over the world to study abroad and who are interested in anthropology.
The 8th and 7th centuries BC was a period of great change in the history of Greece, following the impetus that got the economy developed in their cities. Advances and progress employed in agriculture increased trade and navigation, and ultimately the beginning of a migration of the population that ended up founding new cities by the west of the Mediterranean, coasts of Sicily and Italy.
Soil fertility of Sicily was reason enough for the Greeks to choose it as a destination of its inhabitants, using its agricultural resources. According to classical authors such as Thucydides and Diodorus Siculus, a city was founded around the year 759 BC in Gibellina.
Nearby, it was discovered a Greek necropolis dating from the V century BC. During the summer of 2013 the first four graves in the cemetery have been dug. Two of the tombs were very interesting because the skeletons were accompanied by complete pottery vessels in perfect conditions. The team of anthropologists conducting the investigation of this necropolis intends to excavate for years the site in order to get more information related to the biological anthropology of the Greek population that colonized Sicily during this ancient time.
The fieldwork focuses on funerary structures, specifically inhumation graves. Students will also participate in lectures on skeletal anatomy and pathologies, classes, exercises and excursions related to the course material.

Truths and Facts. Does Science prove anything?
There is a great deal of interest of us in examining claims of 'truths' and 'facts'. In such examination there is a noticeable stress on scientifically proven facts which can be taken as fundamentally true. This is possibly because mathematics is the language of Science and we make mistake thinking mathematical proofs to be reflecting the essence of scientifically proven facts.
Does science necessarily prove anything? The way mathematics proves a proposition?
It is surprising that such a basic debate cannot be laid to rest and a conclusion arrived at even after 1934 book by Karl Popper: The Logic of Scientific Discovery.
Alan Moghissi, Matthew Amin and Connor McNulty of Institute for Regulatory Science, Alexandria, Va wrote to the editor of Science (the magazine) disagreeing with Peter Gleick and 250 members of the (US) National Academy of Sciences writing to the editor of Science : All citizens should understand some basic scientific facts. There is always some uncertainty associated with scientific conclusions; science never absolutely proves anything.
Is there an absolutely proven scientific fact?

May 15 2013: Great reasoning ." This is one experiential paradox because reality is clearly relative."
Relative to what is the key. Human understanding or actual cause and effect of the event?. Unless Humans understand that cause and effect cycle at that INSTANT of occurrence all comparisons are DELAYED by the cognition process and MUST seem relative. One instant after the evnt it becomes the past and so relative. Hence we are compelled to compare with axiomatic state of the event which then would be simultaneous and REAL
"In fact the more precise it gets the more it runs the risk of failing to be a true description of reality. I think that is true for any axiomatic system of study including mathematics." The flaw in our human understanding iis the inability to detect the event cycle or the Guna or PHO state cycles. That is why we have the QUANTUM in physics which hides that instant and leads to uncertainty in detection. may I request you to visit my website http://www.kapillavastu.com/index.html where forty years of my research on Sankhya as the acme of unification is detailed in complete detail maths and all.
The reality is absolutely real for that is the event we experience without ant doubt. But the caveat is that the instant of action of event is 10^-51 seconds of a cycle and we see or detect ONLY a sequence in which 10^16 events or merged or concatenated or simultaneously averaged. Sankhya is 33000 years old and it has its own internal proofs so we can depend on it.
May 15 2013: Very interesting! Does sankhya 's axioms leads to so far discovered constants through experiments result in physics & cosmology like planks ,Catalan and also values of proton ,electron,neutron etc precisely without experiment ? Is there a set limits in both observable(detectable) & hidden spectrum eternally which can be prove in laboratory with consistency & accuracy? Truth as "space is empty" in science while 10^-51 precise number from Sankhya suggest different .Isn't it? Can we capture truth as everything in constant movement at micro level ?
May 16 2013: Good analysis Nilesh. As you know axioms cannot be disproved (yet) and hence has no human masters. We must bow down to it as it is the foundation of facts in reality. It is always true so it is eternal. Truth is how manifestation occurs and facts are the unchanging foundation that displays manifest phenomena as a kaleidoscope of changing states on an unchanging foundation.A hologram in fact. Lab experiments are a real case of too many cooks spoiling the broth. To know that experiments are correct we need a tool that measures uncertainty --STATISTICS. So how can experiments find the hidden spectrum of activity because it occurs simultaneously and merges behind the first detectable event. In fact statistics is the tool that says how many things cant be found. But man read it another way --that it doe not exist. Facts become fiction if it is not consistent. But in the real world of perpetual harmonic oscillatory states only the resonant states will be consistently detected and the inharmonious states will disappear thus introducing the so called principle of uncertainty.Planck indeed discovered the hidden spectrum but as one cannot count merged simultaneous interactions he called it the quantum , a pig in a poke identification. But that quantum contains 7E+50 interactions /sec occurring WITHIN one cycle. So the quantum hides the darkest matter literally and suspicious scientists have created a way to probe that huge number through conjectures called string, entanglement, ghosts, tunneling and other such theories. There is no need to capture truth. Axiomatic derivations lay it out on the table as precise numbers. How is the Universe doing the same thing so accurately minute after minute, year after year and so on. Its a permanent law an axioms are the only eternal parameters in man's knowledge. So we must succumb to axioms and accept positively space is SOMETHING.

Cessna, Bell Helicopter Earnings Up In 4Q/10
Cessna Aircraft and Bell Helicopter emerged from 2010 with healthy fourth-quarter revenues and aircraft delivery increases, according to the fourth-quarter earnings report released yesterday by parent company Textron. "An improving commercial outlook, combined with accelerating investments in new-product development, should support top-line growth across our manufacturing businesses," said Textron chairman and CEO Scott Donnelly. Cessna revenues increased $105 million over the fourth quarter of 2009, and delivery of 79 business jets in the fourth quarter of last year topped fourth-quarter 2009 shipments by 11 aircraft. For the year, Cessna delivered 179 Citations. Cessna's backlog at the end of last year was valued at $2.9 billion, down $495 million from the end of the third quarter. The number of "white tail" aircraft dropped considerably, from 65 at the end of September to 10 at the end of December. This, Donnelly explained, was because Cessna was "building to a forecast," rather than to a backlog as it has done previously. Cessna will produce aircraft to a forecast again this year, with deliveries expected to be "up slightly" over 2010. At Bell Helicopter, fourth-quarter revenues increased by $173 million versus the year-ago period. Bell's backlog at the end of last year was $7.2 billion, up $661 million from the end of the third quarter. Donnelly described Bell as "more stable" than Cessna in 2010.

Though tired of the combination of denim and tailored clothing, I adore Whisker's RRL buckle-backs, immensely closer to the fabric's roots in work-wear. I felt it only more irreverent to play up the contrasts by substituting the traditional charcoal flannels from this Oxford University look with the raw, red-cast indigo.
I like Whisker's black watch duffle because the pattern is bold and beautiful without being obnoxious. Pairing it with holiday-friendly burgundies and reds makes for a season appropriate ensemble, though I wouldn't advise wearing velvet slippers for a walk longer than one across campus.

Mittens has been working with me for a few months. It's been fun to watch her preparing for her first real Winter. Well, trying to prepare. Everyday during this past week seems to deepen her shock at just how cold it gets in Manhattan.It has been equally fun to watch her layer and layer the few appropriate clothes she did bring with her in a beautiful attempt at freeze relief.

I don't like it when people tell me that I should enjoy or at very least appreciate the English dub because it's what "introduced us all to the series". This is not correct. I was introduced to Sailor Moon in my teens through the subs, and although I've watched the dub as well later on, I have found no real merit to it other than a few funny insults and some halfway decent music. Don't tell me that I should enjoy something that was poorly done just because of your nostalgia.

Continual coverage of the trial of Drew Peterson for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.
6 p.m. Testimony done for the day
The defense called two members of the Illinois State Police who testified very briefly about interviewing Kathleen Savio's friend Kristin Anderson, who testified previously that Savio kept a knife under her mattress for protection.
The judge then told Drew Peterson that he has the right to testify or not, and he will be asking Peterson for his decision about that when the defense rests its case.
Court is done for the day. Motions are scheduled to be heard at 8:45 a.m. Wednesday with testimony to follow.
5:50 p.m. Four more witnesses tonight
Judge Edward Burmila has typically wrapped up each day of the trial about 5 p.m. but tonight things will go later.
Dr. Vincent DiMaio's testimony is done. There are four more defense witnesses to go, starting with Robin Queen, a special agent with the Illinois State Police.
3:50 p.m. Another expert calls death an accident
Dr. Vincent DiMaio, who has written several widely-used forensic pathology textbooks, testified that Kathleen Savio's death was an accident.
"I concluded that the death was an accident due to slipping in the bathtub and striking the back of the head, this stunned…Ms. Savio or rendered her unconscious. She slipped under the water, and she drowned," he testified.
He said the injuries on Savio's body are consistent with an accidental fall and not with a struggle.
"Is there any evidence at all…of a struggle or an assault?" asked defense attorney Ralph Mecyzk.
"You know you can look at any one injury. What you're looking for is a pattern of injuries, because one injury on a hand could be due to anything," he said. "But when you see the pattern, you have to go by the whole pattern of injuries. The pattern is up and down the left side of the body. This is the pattern of a fall – not an assault."
3:30 p.m. Judge cracks another joke
After being cross-examined by Assistant State's Attorney John Connor, Dr. Jeffrey Jentzen stepped down from the witness stand.
As he was leaving, Judge Edward Burmila jokingly asked a question that left the courtroom laughing.
"Doctor, you said you wrote that paper on dealing with the frustrations of lawyers — could you give my bailiff a copy of that, please?"
The defense has just called Dr. Vincent DiMaio, a well-known forensic pathologist who has been practicing for 43 years.

Newport Council said that all properties at risk will have received an automated telephone call from National Resources Wales. If you are registered for this service, and have not received a phone call or a personal visit at your property, then you are not at risk.
South Wales Fire and Rescue say a request for sandbags has been made for flooding in Trafalgar Street Pontymister Risca.
A firecrew from Duffryn are helping with salvage at a property affected by flooding on Springfield Road Rhiwderin.
Newport Council say they will evacuate Lighthouse Park in St Brides in the wake of the the flood warnings given this afternoon.
The council say they urge residents to take action themselves to protect their property and it will help where it can but resources are limited.
MONMOUTHSHIRE County Council has said the A466 at Tintern will be closed for about 20 minutes both before and after high tides.
Tonight, the high tide is expected at 8.26pm. Tomorrow, high tide is expected at 8.47am and at 9.12pm, and on Sunday at 9.32am.
They said if the wet weather continues, further closures of the road might be necessary at high rides at 9.56pm on Sunday night and Monday morning at 10.15am.
Automated flood warning messages have been sent to people across the Crindau and Malpas Road area of Newport warning of a flooding risk.
Crindau resident Jon Powell of The Kiosk in Newport said that he had received a message which advised the public to take measures to protect their homes from water damage and to get their families to safety for the next five high tides, but no specific evacuation warning has been issued.
