The grinding car crash almost four years ago left one person dead and Scotts Valley artist Michael Cramer in a deep coma with serious brain injuries. "The doctors said he had only a 5% chance of recovery," recalls Cramer's mother Jody. But her son was a big Joni Mitchell fan--he'd collected all the singer's CDs and videos-- so Jody brought a boom box into the hospital room and played Mitchell's music constantly. "We had to have some way to reach him." she explains. After two months, Michael began to regain consciousness, a flickering eyelid here, a finger twitch there. Eventually, he was able to scribble a note--"I love Joni Mitchell"-- but it took 22 more months of hospitalization before enough of his aculties had returned to allow him to return home.

This proposed takeover puts our mobile broadband future at a crossroads. We can choose the open, competitive road best traveled, and protect American consumers, innovation and our economy, or we can choose the dead end that merely protects only AT&T and leads the rest of us back down the dirt road to Ma Bell.
That's Vonya B. McCann, senior vice president of government affairs for Sprint, doing her best to channel Robert Frost. Sprint formally asked the FCC to deny AT&T's plan to acquire T-Mobile.
Sprint has much to gain from that merger not going through. As I wrote on Friday, the company is currently third in what's shaping up as a two-horse race in wireless. Some think Sprint's public stance against the T-Mobile deal is just an attempt to win some favorable concessions.
But Sprint is disputing that cynical claim. In a press release about its FCC filing Tuesday, Sprint said it has "concluded the proposed acquisition cannot be remedied through divestitures or conditions." Sprint, pulling no punches, also referred to AT&T and Verizon as the "Twin Bell duopolists."
Sort of makes me wonder if AT&T and Verizon have powers like the Wonder Twins of "Super Friends" fame! Wonder Twin Bell powers … activate! Form of … an iPhone 4! Shape of … a water bucket! And if I take this tortured analogy one step further, is T-Mobile the equivalent of Gleek, the annoying space monkey sidekick?
Anyway, Sprint may have a tough time stopping the marriage of AT&T with the house of Dwayne Wade and the polka dot dress-favoring spokesgirl. But this should be a fun battle to watch. — Paul

Koch Brothers Among U.S. Billionaires Pressuring Thousands of Employees to Vote GOP on Election Day
In These Times' Mike Elk on Democracy Now talking about his new story on how corporations like Koch Industries are now legally allowed to pressure their workers to adopt their political views at the ballot box because of the Citizens United Supreme Court decision.
(Hat Tip to — mister-kiwi)
Overturn Citizens United now! This is terrifying. CEOs threatening to fire their workers if Obama wins, the Kochs being the Kochs with no reprecussions, political pressure in the work place?
Of all of the terrible decisions the Supreme Court has been known to (on occasion) hand down, this is up there among the worst.

Favorite Find Friday: Ralph Lauren Romance Fragrance
Written on February 14, 2014 at 11:38 am , by Molly Ritterbeck
When I was younger, I changed my perfume after every breakup (such a teenage-angsty thing to do—I know). There was just something about a fragrance that was so closely tied to the memories of the relationship, that after it ended, I wanted a fresh start. And a fresh scent. But since I've been very happily attached for the past six years (!), I've had to come up with a new smell strategy. It was around the time when my guy and I first started dating that I began crushing on Ralph Lauren Romance Eau de Parfum ($68, ralphlauren.com). Described as a fragrance that "captures the timeless essence of falling in love," it seemed like the perfect match for the start of a budding romance. I loved the sensual florals, like white violet and sun goddess rose that created seductive chemistry when combined with the musk of exotic woods. As time went on, I fell more and more in love with my beau and my perfume. But the winter melted into spring and I needed to switch things up (in the fragrance department, not the BF one!) so I swapped in the summer edition—Ralph Lauren Romance Summer Blossom Eau de Toilette Spray ($74, ralphlauren.com). A lighter, fruitier version of the original, this sunny and playful scent has notes of mandarin and waterlily that lightly flutter on top of the woodsy, vanilla base. One spritz gives you that pit-of-your-stomach butterfly feeling and ignites those summer love sparks, even in a long-term relationship. I continue to alternate between the two and since I'm loyal to the collection, I'm anxiously awaiting the latest launch, Midnight Romance coming out this April. So after years of testing out all those other
guys perfumes that weren't a perfect fit, I'm blissfully happy to have finally found the one for me. And today, I thought it was the appropriate timing to share this ode to oud with all of you. Happy Valentine's Day!

Summertime Skin, Sun and Stay Fit Tips from Top Derm, Jeanine Downie, M.D.
Written on July 17, 2013 at 10:52 am , by Fitness Magazine
We're all for low-maintenance beauty during the warmer months, but that 'lax vibe of summer doesn't mean it's time to skimp on SPF or staying healthy. Jeanine Downie, M.D., board certified Dermatologist and director of her own practice, image Dermatology P.C. in Montclair, N.J., shares her surefire ways to stay fit, safe in the sun and keep your skin glowing all summer long.
How do you stay fit?
"I exercise 7 days a week. Running is my favorite way to stay fit. But I also love spinning, swimming, kickboxing and lifting weights!"
What are some of your favorite outdoor activities?
"I used to swim competitively when I was younger so anytime I can swim outside is great for me. I also love to run and go kayaking."
There are a lot of misconceptions about sweat and acne. Can you clear them up for us?
"I have a lot of patients who come in thinking that they need to shower before they work out, so they have a "clean sweat." Also a lot of people think sweat causes acne. These are both common misnomers. Sweat is clean and doesn't cause acne. And the right time to shower is after you work out, because the friction and moisture of sitting in wet gym clothes can cause acne."
What's your one go-to piece of advice that you offer to your active patients?
"I encourage all my patients to exercise a minimum of four times a week, while wearing broad spectrum sun protection with an SPF of 30 higher ever day, rain or shine. Working out decreases stress, increasing skin's circulation and overall glow, makes hair and nails grow faster, makes your body work better, keeps you body trimmer and your mind more clear and focused! For all my active patients, I recommend washing with a gentle cleanser with salicylic acid and exfoliating 3-4 times a week with either a gentle exfoliating face wash with salicylic acid, glycolic acid or even just a nubby wash cloth and your own gentle cleanser with salicylic acid."
What are your favorite summer products?
"Protecting your skin from harmful rays is incredibly important. I'm a big fan of spray sunscreen, like AVEENO Hydrosport SPF 30 ($8, aveeno.com) because its adherent and works great on wet skin! In the summer you don't want anything that feels or smells too heavy so I switch to a lighter fragrance. My favorite is Dior Escale à Pondichéry ($75, dior.com).
Do you have any favorite healthy snacks that give you energy for your workouts and also have skin-benefiting ingredients?
"My favorite snacks are apples (there is nothing better than a crispy apple) and Ideal Protein Bars."

Favorite Find Friday: Viva La Juicy Rollerball
Written on July 5, 2013 at 10:00 am , by Fitness Magazine
I'm guilty of trying to stash my entire life into my purse. For beauty lovers like me, that includes nearly all of my makeup and a few of my favorite perfumes, which can really weigh me down. So whenever one of my go-to scents comes in a travel-friendly size, I make sure to stock up on it so I can keep the lightweight bottle in my purse or gym bag. One that I'm loving right now: Viva La Juicy Rollerball by Juicy Couture ($19, nordstrom.com). The fragrance smells amazing—with top notes of wild berries and juicy mandarin, it has a yummy sweetness that blends with light florals like honeysuckle, gardenia and jasmine. It's pinky-size bottle fits almost anywhere—even a change purse or a clutch—so you can take it with you wherever you need to go and it's perfect for touch ups throughout the day. Now, if only I can find mini versions of everything else in my purse!

Favorite Find Friday: Softsoap Limited Edition Maui Coconut Splash Moisturizing Body Wash
Written on May 31, 2013 at 9:00 am , by Molly Ritterbeck
While the majority of New Yorkers are getting a little cranky due to the 90-degree temps, I'm loving the recent heat wave. Though it does make me wish I was jetting off to a tropical island in the middle of nowhere. And while no such vacation exists on my summer calendar (wah!), I made my own quiet little escape—in my shower. It's not as glamorous, I know, but I grabbed Softsoap's Limited Edition Maui Coconut Splash Moisturizing Body Wash ($3, drugstores) from the beauty closet and scrubbed up after the gym. The formula is luxurious with a rich, hydrating lather, but the scent is what'll really get you. The bright floral notes mixed with a hint of sweet coconut intoxicate you like your favorite fruity, umbrella-on-the-side cocktail. This might sound a bit dramatic, but seriously, the experience is so relaxing it might just be enough to hold me over until I can finally get to that white-sanded slice of paradise.

Yogi Elena Brower Launches New Givescent Fragrance That, You Guessed It, Gives Back
Written on February 20, 2013 at 3:04 pm , by Fitness Magazine
Whether you've been to one yoga class or one hundred, the importance of breathing is always a vital component—inhaling and exhaling drives the practice and helps you move from posture to posture. Recently, we grabbed our mats and headed to practice with Elena Brower, founder of Virayoga in Manhattan. Yes, we focused on breathing in the good and exhaling the bad, but we couldn't stop ourselves from sniffing in Givescent, Brower's recently-launched fragrance, over and over again.
With notes of vanilla, sage, grapefruit and bergamot, this scent "smells like Italy," says Brower, who called the country home for two years. Sicily's signature smells—think citrus lemon trees, rich olive oil and the city's vanilla and butter pastries—served as her inspiration. "It's a deliciously feminine scent; it has a grounding musk to it that balances the sweetness and makes it completely irresistible."
So irresistible, in fact, that people would stop both Brower and Alexandra Lyon Perelman, her partner in the creation of this new fragrance, on the city streets to ask about this unique perfume. So the two decided to sell the scent, under one condition: "Inherent in our business model was a giving component. That was the only way starting a business made sense to us—it had to have giving as part of the plan."
Since both worked with Women for Women International—a nonprofit that provides women survivors of war, civil strife and other conflicts with the tools and resources to move from poverty to stability and self-sufficiency—choosing a charity was as simple as slipping into downward-facing dog. In fact, Givescent sales sponsor two sisters and five percent of its proceeds will go to this organization.
Yogis and non-yogis alike have another fragrance to look forward to: Givescent Orange plans to launch in June, perfect for lighter, carefree days. "[It] maintains the essence of our signature scent, but is supercharged with sun-ripened citrus," says Brower. Plus, a portion of its proceeds will benefit Every Mother Counts, which aims to make pregnancy and childbirth safe for all moms-to-be.

Petra Nemcova on Giving Back and Staying Fit
Written on January 15, 2013 at 9:00 am , by Molly Ritterbeck
Model and philanthropist Petra Nemcova witnessed just how tragic natural disasters can be. After surviving a tsunami in Thailand in 2004, she returned to the region and was blown away by the mass destruction and devastation that resulted from the Indian Ocean earthquake. Unsatisfied with the response from other organizations, she set out to create her own non-profit, international charity, Happy Hearts Fund, to help improve children's lives by building and rebuilding schools in areas affected by natural disasters. Now she is teaming up with Clinique to help spread smiles across the globe by introducing a limited edition fragrance, Happy Heart ($37, clinique.com), as well as a T-shirt with the message "Make Someone Happy," ($16, clinique.com). $10 from the sale of each fragrance, and $5 from the sale of each shirt will go directly to Happy Hearts Fund. I chatted with Nemcova about the partnership and her insider fitness and beauty secrets.
Tell me about the Happy Hearts Partnership with Clinique.
"The partnership is a match made in heaven, for one, because Clinique is so focused on education. Their consultants are extremely educated, so they can teach their customers. Number two, their consultants are very passionate about education and children, and that is what we are the most passionate about, so it's a perfect partnership. The philosophies of both brands are very much aligned, even with colors. And what I am excited about is that this partnership will be able to rebuild more schools and create many happy hearts in the lives of children, who have been forgotten after natural disasters."
What's your favorite thing about the fragrance?
"The smell is really uplifting. When I get a little down, or tired during the day, smelling it uplifts me. It has sweet notes of mandarin orange and floral notes of water lily, rose and geranium. It's really a beautiful fresh light dance. And I love the packaging. It was done in a beautiful way where the hearts connect when you put them together. $10 of this fragrance goes to rebuilding schools and the lives of children, so it reminds you that your heart is connected to those children."
We know you are constantly on the go for work. How do you stay on track while travelling?
"For me, the best way is to go to the gym and do a routine but I also love to go to Physique 57 a lot, so using some of their techniques while I'm traveling helps because you don't need much and it's incredibly effective."
What are some of your insider beauty tips?
"I do actually have a new one: we have a tradition in the Czech Republic that we put honey on our faces during Christmas dinner to be beautiful on the inside for the next year. I went to get a facial last week and the facialist was fantastic. Without me telling her about the honey, she told me a trick which is incredible—put a little bit of water on your face and then cleanse your face with Manuka Honey 16+ ($36, soap.com) and it gives you an incredible glow. So it goes back to the tradition which has some truth in it because honey has lots of antioxidants in it. And I used to put honey on my skin when I was a teenager—I used to go and sleep with it on my face. It was a little bit messy. So this tip is less messy!"
What are some of your favorite beauty products?
"I absolutely love Clinique All About Eyes Serum ($28, clinique.com) which is an anti-puffing eye serum. It's amazing. It's so cooling, even just the cooling effect, it makes a huge difference. It's one of those products that you get addicted to."

Favorite Find Friday: L'Occitane Eau Captivante Cologne
Written on June 15, 2012 at 11:55 am , by April Franzino
OK, so L'Occitane Eau Captivante Cologne isn't gym bag-friendly by any stretch of the imagination, but indulge us: The green-tinged, light-as-air spritz smells addictively like freshly cut mint and basil muddled with lime and orange, warmed up with a bit of lavender (yes— it somehow manages to be earthy, tart, sweet and soft all at the same time). The stunning, hefty art deco-esque etched-glass bottle reminds us of a vintage heirloom and instantly becomes the focal point of any vanity. Plus, at 10.1 fluid ounces, it's like a Costco-sized bottle off perfume, and as such, should last you far beyond summer.

Favorite Find Friday: Diptyque Eau Rose Roll-On
Written on February 3, 2012 at 11:15 am , by April Franzino
Portable roll-on perfumes are the ultimate gym bag and purse must-have for us. Our latest love: Diptyque Eau Rose Eau de Toilette Roll-On. The chic, iconic French fragrance house has tinged the classic rose with a dash of tart blackcurrant and warm honey and cedar base notes. Just a dab goes a long way and really lasts— as does the generously-sized (gorgeously-adorned!) rollerball itself.

One letter, but several thoughts.
• The right to disagree is constitutionally allowed, but in bygone years, respect for the office of president of the United States was a given. Has this trait ceased to exist with many Americans?
• Thought No. 2: What's with this fighting in the stands among Patterson adults at a youth football game? Is common decency about to go over the edge?
• No. 3: What's so bad about a president encouraging children to improve themselves through education? Are certain parents going to put "Obama blocks" on their television sets for the next three years and four months? Ridiculous.
• And how does the No. 1 college football team in the nation, Florida, keep its ranking? By scheduling teams like Troy (a 56-6 win last weekend).
• And finally, the demise of the Irrigator's football contest after a run of 58 consecutive years comes with a bit of irony. Two of the contest's most ardent players, Carl Frunz and Peter Goetz, died earlier this year. For years, they brought their enthusiasm into the Irrigator office as they dropped off their contest entries each Friday, and until the last year or two, Carl had the distinction of entering every contest since it began in 1951.
This fall, I'll think of them every Friday.
Ron Swift, Patterson Time for health care reform
Recently, I was sitting in the waiting room of my doctor's office. A middle-aged gentleman exited the exam rooms. He glanced around in a dazed, distraught way and then left the office.
I thought he must have received bad news — a disturbing diagnosis. In a few seconds, he came back inside, walked over to me and showed me a letter from his health insurance company. His rates had been raised so high he could no longer afford them, and now he couldn't return to this doctor and didn't know how he was going to get health care.
Although the man was a stranger to me, he shared his problem because he thought I might have had a similar experience or might know what he could do. I didn't know.
Oh, but couldn't we all be in his shoes? And what in the world would we do?
We need to encourage and support our elected officials who are working to reform our health care system. In our great and generous country, that so many of us are being left without the means to be healthy, to thrive or to even be alive is a sign that it is time!
Kris Santos, Patterson Hats off to students
Hats off to the Del Puerto High School students, along with their teacher, Richard Jones, who were diligently cleaning trash from our downtown Saturday, Sept. 12.
I saw them working around the post office and asked what they were doing. They explained it was a senior project that required them to donate 12 service hours to the community. They were working a four-hour stint on Saturday.
I am proud to see the school teaching these students to give back to the community — and I am proud of the students who willingly participated.

Greetings, all-
Hope you're well. I often have the hope of getting two blogs up in a day and today I've finally done it. I put in a call to CAA commissioner Tom Yeager for the story that ran today about Georgia State's season-ending four-game run.
Yeager's assessment on GSU in 2012: "They'll be playing teams that have kids that have played a number of years, have started for a number of years, have been in the program. I'm sure the first couple seasons, there's going to be some continued growing pains. (But) I don't think there's any question theyre going to be a competitor fairly quickly."
We ended up talking about where GSU might land in 2012, which I'll share with you. He said the plan is "to look at some type of divisional play" when GSU joins and the CAA goes back to 12 teams, which is what it was before Hofstra and Northeastern dropped football after the 2009 season.
The most obvious alignment – putting Georgia State in with the other southernmost schools, Richmond, Old Dominion, James Madison, William & Mary and Towson – may not fly.
A little history, which I confess I was aware of until a few minutes ago: The CAA has only had football since 2007. Largely the same teams made up the Atlantic 10 football conference from 1997-2006. They were the Yankee Conference for decades before that. (Georgia State in what used to be the Yankee Conference. Go figure.)
Anyway, what Yeager said was that in the previous north-south alignment, Villanova and Delaware both developed strong rivalries with Richmond, James Madison and William and Mary. So they aren't going to want to get sent to play in the other division where the ties aren't as strong. Further, Villanova and Delaware play each other in a season-ending game that Yeager likened to Georgia-Georgia Tech. So it sounds like both schools' strong preference would be to stay together and in the south.
But, obviously, you'd want to keep Old Dominion with the other three Virginia schools, so maybe that makes Towson the odd man out, even though it's two hours from Philadelphia and an hour from Newark, Del., and a whole lot closer to Virginia than Maine.
So it could be that Georgia State will go into the north with New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Towson and Rhode Island. Or maybe not.
I don't know what it would mean for Georgia State to be in with schools in New England rather than Virginia. Geography always helps in building rivalries, but I suppose it's not imperative.
"There's some potential there'll be some lively discussions about the new division set-up," Yeager said. "There isn't a really easy identifiable way to split it."
Something that may sink these plans before they even get off the ground, though, is Rhode Island. I mentioned earlier this week a report that URI might be leaving the conference for the Northeast Conference. Here's an story from June in the Richmond Times-Dispatch that explains it further (You may be interested to know – or probably not – that I interned at the Times-Dispatch 16 summers ago and actually worked with the writer of the article linked. I have a story I could tell you about my first attempt at writing about auto racing. Did not end well.). Basically, URI has been getting drilled in the CAA and the costs are getting high. The addition of GSU would seem to be a double whammy – a team that figures to push URI further down and, if they're in the same division, require a charter flight every other year.
I'll write more about GSU's future with the CAA when I get the opportunity. Kind of interesting.
Any preference on where GSU ends up?

Hmm. I'm seeing a problem with this conference being so spread out… We could do with some closer schools.
October 20th, 2010
6:50 pm
(And yes, that was sarcasm…)
October 20th, 2010
7:05 pm
Competition wise, the CAA sounds exciting.
Logistically, however, it sounds like a nightmare.
No one is going to travel to road games.
October 20th, 2010
7:10 pm
I see that Georgia State's cost will be pretty high in this conference no matter which division we end up in. I know that the CAA is the best conference in FCS with 7 teams in the top 25 and 4 in the top 10 (that with only 10 teams in the conference) but is it worth the cost to gather that brand of competition?
Geography does help with rivalries but so does familiarity and playing big games against teams with legitimate shots to win championships yr in yr out. So the rivalry part I'm not concerned with as much as athletic cost of being in this conference.
I'm interested to read your follow up blog Ken.
October 20th, 2010
7:12 pm
Or why not ditch the CAA all together…
The Southern Conference brings natural rivals within easy driving distance. There could be some great rivalries develop with Georgia Southern ,Chattanooga ( The Mocs are off life support now that they have a coach that can walk and chew gum) and Furman. Atlanta could be the hub of the SC and bring a "Mini SEC Championship" game to the Georgia Dome by adding the Panthers and breaking up into divisions.State would be just the large market that the SC needs to pull it off.
Look , nobody gives a rats rear about Rhode Island , Towson or Delaware. Nobody outside their neck of the woods ,anyway. Strong regional tie ins are critical for FCS teams to pay the bills. After the novelty wears off (next season), State will have to market and package better to draw a crowd. Thats just a fact. Wit a couple of guaranteed sellouts every year (Southern and Furman/The Citadel/Chattanooga) , the books will balance even if the team is not a contender. Just try getting people excited to see Towson when the Panthers are 2-6.
Ditch the CAA. SC is where its at !
October 20th, 2010
7:13 pm
I go to Georgia State, and while I think it would be cool to host a few teams cross division from up north, it wouldn't drive much of a traveling fan base when every road game is a good 1,000 miles away. Also I think that splitting the conference North/South heavily weights the South Division. If they throw G-State in to the North Division just to honor rivalries, it is going to put a big hit on revenue for Georgia State's home games because there just won't be the away fans like there would if they are playing the closer teams.
All I know is that I'm ready to get in the CAA because I want to see where we stand against the real deals like Villanova, James Madison, and William & Mary.
October 20th, 2010
7:20 pm
I think the Big South or Southern Conference makes more sense than joining the CAA… Geographically, it makes even more sense.
October 20th, 2010
7:26 pm
If GSU wants to continue to play in the FCS then they may want to consider Southern, Big South, Ohio Valley, SWAC and MEAC
October 20th, 2010
7:29 pm
lol @ DannyboyAtl
The Southern Conference would definitely fit us better (not sure how those Georgia Southern girls would like it, especially if we did well). We don't have as many fans as i'd like turning up to the home games. There would literally be noone for the majority of away games
October 20th, 2010
7:35 pm
Put them with Richmond. I'd love to see the Spiders come down to the Dome.
October 20th, 2010
7:41 pm
@ Astropig:
You are 100% right. I am sure not gonna drive to see GSU play Delaware or URI. The cost would be astronomical. I can only imagine what it will cost the athletic department to make these trips.Further , Villanova has been invited to join the Big East,so the CAA may be in for some instability anyway.
The Southern has Appy State , The Citadel and Wofford right next door.They usually are in the NC mix ,so the competition is right up there with anybody.

I totally agree, I like the competition that the CAA brings, but the distance that GSU would have to travel is ridiculous. I really the SoCon is the best idea for GSU and hope that the AD would strongly reconsider not joining the CAA…I think it might be a big mistake.

Hey Ken,
Lets see if divisional play pans out. Rhode Island is almost assuredly gone to the NEC due to $$$ (NEC is one of the few FCS conferences that allows 40 grants in aid vs. the FCS maximum of 63). In additional Villanova has a standing offer as of a few weeks ago to play football in the Big East where they already play all other sports.

@GSU Grad06
Better to call Custom Engraving Company / Imprint Promotions at (888) 605-2572 Toll free. Ask for Nicole. They have created a new front license plate through the NCAA's recognition of our new POUNCE logo. Mine are in the mail and yours can be too! They did not even know we had a football team. Now they do and are excited about having a license plate for us. Spread the word. They look awesome as I could not display on this AJC Blog, You will be impressed. BE THE FIRST!!! GO PANTHERS!!! Our book store is adamant on selling us the old POUNCE. They are missing out!
You are correct as two blogs in a day is taxing but not as bad as playing in an old Yankee Conference. Georgia State should be looking to move out of the CAA in the next four to five years and get in a more logistically desirable conference. Not many are going to travel to the far reaches of the Northeast to see a football game. Not to mention the recruits and their families. We need to kick butt in the CAA and then move into a Southern Conference so fans can more easily attend the games. Better for recruiting. Simple as that!!! GO PANTHERS!!!

I'd prefer the Ohio Valley over the CAA. At least we could travel to Alabama and Tenn. This whole GSU to the CAA north division with Maine and the likes has to be stopped. Are you serious?
Good write-up Ken. I look forward to the continuation regarding this issue.
October 20th, 2010
9:15 pm
We are joining the CAA so we need to tough it up. I can't imagine a Maine vs. GSU game. Sounds like a nightmare. Could we join the Southern Conference for just football? How long do we plan on playing in the CAA for?
October 20th, 2010
9:26 pm
As a UGA season ticket holder, I honestly won't be going to very many games. However, I would be more interested in games vs Southern conference teams than any in the CAA. Maybe I'm wrong, but I see the Dome being very empty with a home slate of northern small schools. On a side note, any chance of GSU getting on UGA's schedule in '14, '18, etc. With Georgia Southern being scheduled every four years, it seems like a natural. It would be great to keep the money in the state instead of paying teams like Idaho State.
October 20th, 2010
9:29 pm
In all honesty, the regular fan does not care if the top 5 FCS teams are in the CAA. They need recognizable names like GA Southern or even a Furman. These teams will bring fans and travel well. No one is going to travel down for these games in the CAA to the Dome. From Maine all the way down to Atlanta. Yeah right. Never. Without a doubt, our attendance is going to take a hit next year and definitely in 2012. We need to schedule better schools. It's pretty obvious that we all wanted to enter the Southern Conference, and I'm sure GSU looked into it, right? Did they not want us or what was the deal? We can beat those teams now. Ken – we need a report on this. No one wants the CAA.
October 20th, 2010
9:32 pm
I think Astropig is right about the Southern Conference being a better fit. The CAA is probably the toughest conference, but man-oh-man I'll never get to see an away game.
October 20th, 2010
9:34 pm
Georgia State will get the invite to the Southern Conference. Liberty U will get the nod to join the CAA.
October 20th, 2010
9:42 pm
As far as honoring rivalries…they could be in different divisions and play two from the other side like the SEC. Southern Conference would boost attendance especially GSU vs GSU. Atlanta is the largest population of Georgia Southern alums. That came could easily draw 40,000
October 20th, 2010
9:54 pm
Go Dukes!
October 20th, 2010
10:10 pm
@Ken – I don't think GSU shares the same institutional profile as schools in the SWAC or MEAC.
Anyway…my thought….is C-USA or bust! We'll stay in the CAA until a C-USA invite comes along.
October 20th, 2010
10:12 pm
What do you think about CUSA in a few years. Mostly all southern schools, FBS, and GSU could hold their own right now with the bottom feeders Memphis, Rice etc.. I bet CUSA would love to get Atlanta and the G-Dome in their league. Also some teams would travel well, e.g., UAB, East Carolina, Memphis and possibly Central Florida. Could develop some tremendous rivalries. Hopefully behind the scenes we're exploring it.
October 20th, 2010
10:15 pm
The Southern Conference is traditionally very picky. Erk met with them back in the 80's and didn't get the feeling that he was welcomed. At least not until he kicked Furman's azz for the NC and then subsequently rolled off 5 more NC's. So, my advice to Ga State is to look elsewhere and try to schedule a home and home with Ga Southern early in the year. Maybe even as a traditional opening game. That'd be cool.
October 20th, 2010
10:25 pm
I see GSU going to the Southern Conference for now,then when ALL the pieces fall into place,invite to C-USA.I believe GSU is the real deal,get out and support,recruit good,which Georgia has locally,and state-wide,compete (schedule) with the best. Best of luck GSU,I have a daughter that goes there and my money. Go Gators!
October 20th, 2010

This CAA nonsense needs to stop. The only reason GSU is in the CAA is because Patton, the previous GSU president, was friends with Yeager. GSU moved to CAA before any football initiatives were underway. It might have made sense six years ago, but shuttling an FCS team up and down the northeast is nothing short of a tragedy. That money could be better spent toward FBS initiatives, a-la Sun Belt, MAC or C-USA. If FCS is the goal for foreseeable future, then SoCon or even OVC are better. Either way, GSU needs to bolt the CAA as soon as possible.
October 20th, 2010

President Becker, Tear Down This Conference Contract!
October 20th, 2010
11:04 pm
That's a good point about the type schools that are in the SoCon and the fact that they already have 12 members, though only 9 play football. CAA doesn't seem to be a good fit logistically but it seems that other factors will keep us out of SoCon. It seems that State is stuck where it is for the time being, but to be honest I wouldn't want to go to a lower FBS conference unless it were a stepping stone to bigger better things.
But if we cannot pull geographically closer competition in FCS we might as well head on up to C-USA. I just wish we had more fans that felt as passionately about GSU football as the ones on this blog because FBS does not accept schools that average below 15,000/game. And if you take out the inaugural game against Shorter, we are dangerously close to that mark. Got to find a way to excite the student body.
October 20th, 2010
11:23 pm
We are averaging 17k a game playing unknowns. Not bad.
October 20th, 2010
11:34 pm
@ Panama…that average is inflated by the 30,000+ inaugural game which i guarantee will not happen next yr. Take out that game and we're under 15k. Though I will grant you we are not playing great competition and our best attendance was 18k against 4th ranked jsu. But i think that crowd was due more to the fact they had just beaten ole miss than the FCS ranking they sported. At this point i'm more hopeful than optimistic about attendance in the coming yrs.
October 20th, 2010
11:55 pm
We]ll be fine as long as he…
Tears up this contract. Tear it Mr Becker!
October 20th, 2010
11:57 pm
I'm not too worried about attendance. It's our first year, and yes, Shorter did boost the average a ton, but a lot of the weaker games we've had have lowered the attendance. I do think we'll see a higher average attendance (minus outliers) in the next few seasons, i really don't think we'll have a problem having an average attendance of 15,000 every two years. We just need to try and push it to a 30,000 average attendance every year.

C-USA baby!!!!!
October 21st, 2010
12:09 am
Our average is less than 15K if you negate the Shorter game. Why don't we have more games on Thursday nights when more students are already on campus? It sure hasn't looked like even 10K the last couple games. Maybe all those people bought season tickets just for the Alabama game tickets and don't show up to our own games.
And what about support for our other sports teams? How do the Panthers stack up against C-USA in basketball?
October 21st, 2010
12:09 am
The one thing I keep hearing everywhere is "Who are you playing". In this town it is about having games that mean something. Being in the CAA North would be a disaster. But I faith that team in place at GSU Athletics is working the problem. And who knows what this off-season of seismic changes will bring?

October 21st, 2010
12:28 am
For sake of argument, let's throw out both attendance outliers (Shorter and Lambuth). That should leave us north of 15K/g.
We need a major intervention and nothing will spark the fan base like plans to go FBS. I'd venture to say our football budget is on par with many of the lower tier FBS schools. It's a no brainer. I mean really it is.
October 21st, 2010
12:35 am
Not to add fuel to the fire, but if you do some search engine research as to South Alabama and UT-San Antonio's start up plans and where they're headed its pretty clear that you excite the fan base when they realize that the Lambuth's a short term step to a big time long term goal. Our problem is that in 5 years, on this path, we'll be playing Maine. Our previous administration left us in a heck of a pickle.
October 21st, 2010

After spending a few years following the CAA in college and talking with the people in media relations there…there is virtually zero chance of them aligning gsu with umass, unh, maine, etc. The schools up north would revolt at having to charter another trip south every year for what would be an easy win for the foreseeable future (for every team that isn't uri). As far as FBS aspirations go for georgia state…you'd have to be out of your mind to think that this program could make the jump in the next 10 years. Nova has been a consistently great fcs school with decent attendance (better than anyone can realistically expect gsu to average over the next 5 years) and they still are sitting on a big east football invite…heck, montana averages 25k a game and is a top 5 team every year and unsure of being able to turn the same profit if they jump to the wac.
In short, state will most certainly be aligned with the southern schools…and will struggle mightily in the best fcs conference for awhile, but should be able to float down the road due do the dedication to the program shown by the school.
October 21st, 2010
3:04 am
Like many of y'all I like the idea of GA St joining the SoCon b/c of the geography, and the fact that I don't think it would take long for GA Southern & GA State to form a heated rivalry. I don't check the St blog often but the few times I have it's clear that their ain't no love lost between GA South & GA St. fans.
The SoCon may want State to prove themselves for a little while b/c they've historically been a very tough football conference w/ GA Southern, App St, & Furman. For yrs those 3 teams beat each other & shared the conference crown. Wofford & Elon have been coming on the last few yrs as Southern has slipped, but hopefully they're on the way back.
October 21st, 2010
3:17 am
@ A14 – I'd argue that the future plans to develop into an FBS school depend on the direction the school decides to go. Those schools who obviously started out as an FCS team with no intention of moving up (because of money, attendance, etc) probably are at a disadvantage when trying to move up in that they have to change the status quo of their program, that is get more money or find more fans. This is still States first year and the fact that the average attendance is above the required 15,000 (outliers included or not) is a huge achievement in itself. We know that the program has nowhere to go but up, but i think it's up to the school to push it into FBS if thats where they want it to go. As it is, i'm fairly certain States budget shadows the majority of FCS schools, and the facilities certainly do. The coaching staff is all FBS level, and as it happens so are a lot of the team members. I will say that, with all this going in, i would be very suprised if State didn't go into this with plans to move up to FBS.
October 21st, 2010
4:04 am
@itsmeagain you may be very well right that that State went into this with plans to move up to fbs. The main issues that most teams could have at making the jump to fbs are commitment to the program, a large enough stadium, attendance and ability to compete. There are many programs in fcs (especially in the caa) that meet all the criteria for the jump and are yet unwilling to make the move. Villanova will draw the same crowd if UMass comes to town or fbs schools like troy and fau do, and still get the same payout to go on the road and play a bcs school as they do now. What difference is there really in being Troy and averaging 15K and UMass averaging 15K? Both will not be able to get premier teams to play them at home for the next 10 years and make roughly the same profit…yet UMass is in a system where there actually is a logical national championship setup, and i'd argue both would have the same very long odds at becoming nationally relevant in 15-20 years. I guess my point is that if they tried to jump in the immediate future they'd most likely be another fau/fiu…quick launch program in a big market with similar students…no one talks about georgia southern realistically being able to make the jump (20k/game), and for good reason…

GSU should stay in the CAA and follow the model set by ODU. Sell out their 20,000,on campus, seat stadium ;close out season tickets,(they sold too many); commanding $200.00 per ticket on E-Bay.for individual games ODU is a downtown campus like GSU. If you visit their campus you will find the most beautiful athletic facilities in Div 1-AA for both men and women. They know what they are doing and GSU would be wise to follow their lead.

HOUSTON -- Houston's Rex Grossman is expected to miss about a month with a hamstring injury and the Texans are looking to sign another quarterback to fill in until he's healthy.
Houston Texans
2008 Statistics
Yards: 257
Comp. Pct.: 51.6
Grossman, Houston's third quarterback and the former Bears starter, was injured in Saturday's win over the Chiefs and coach Gary Kubiak says he doesn't feel comfortable finishing the preseason with only Matt Schaub and backup Dan Orlovsky.
Kubiak says the Texans could bring back Alex Brink, who was with the team last season.
Also injured Saturday were safety Troy Nolan, a rookie seventh-round pick, who will have surgery to repair a broken hand on Monday and fullback Boomer Grigsby who is expected to be out six weeks with a high ankle sprain.

Giles Fraser - Colourful MaverickRoy Jenkins' guest this week is Giles Fraser.
He hit the headlines when he resigned as canon chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral at the height of the Occupy London protest. But he was already well known as a national newspaper columnist, broadcaster and campaigner.
He's been described as a colourful maverick and dismissed as the socialist worker priest, but at least one commentator regards him as 'one of the few people in the Church of England who can think about important questions out loud in ways that are comprehensible to the outside world.'
Giles Fraser's journey has taken him through atheism and political activism, via lecturing in philosophy at Oxford, to the heart of Anglican establishment - and then out into one of Inner London's neediest parishes.
And this week, as Justin Welby formally became the new Archbishop of Canterbury in a ceremony at St Paul's, and two days later was expressing bafflement to two of Britain's top bankers at their attitudes to bonuses, it's clear that a central issue in that Occupy protest hasn't gone away.
In this candid conversation Giles Fraser talks about his childhood hatred of bullying at boarding school; his conversion to Christianity and desire to be a priest having never even been to church; his attitudes to same sex marriage and what he gains from teaching ethics at the Defence Academy, Shrivenham.

Institutional Giving
The Mark Morris Dance Group is proud to celebrate Mark Morris' artistic achievements, his recognition as the most musical choreographer of our time, and the Mark Morris Dance Center's development into a major cultural institution. The generosity of institutional donors has played a crucial role in MMDG's success throughout its history and continues to be extremely important to the financial health of the Dance Group. The following are giving opportunities for institutions interested in contributing to the Mark Morris Dance Group.
- MMDG New Works Fund
- MMDG Live Music Fund
- MMDG Touring Fund
- MMDG Education and Community Outreach Fund
- Mark Morris Dance Center
Mark Morris Dance Group (Discalced, Inc.) is a non-profit organization. For more information contact Michelle Amador, Director of Development, by telephone at 718.624.8400 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
MMDG New Works Fund
Mark Morris is arguably one of the most prolific choreographers working today. He adds an average of two new works a year to his canon of over 140 works. In addition, works from the Mark Morris Dance Group's diverse repertory are restaged each year.
Institutions may designate a gift toward the creation of a world premiere or the revival of a work by Mark Morris. Contributions help to underwrite the cost of dancers' and musicians' salaries during the creation period, the acquisition of music rights, the design and production or refurbishing of costumes, sets and lighting, and other elements involved in the creation or restaging process.
MMDG Live Music Fund
Live music is integral to all of Mark Morris's work. In 1996, Mr. Morris made a commitment to feature live music in all MMDG performances. Morris's eclectic musical taste has attracted devotees of classical and contemporary music to dance, and introduced dance audiences to a range of scores from Lou Harrison to Romanian folk song. The MMDG Music Ensemble, formed in 1996, performs with the Dance Group at home and on tour and has become integral to the company's creative life.
Institutions may designate a gift toward MMDG's use of live music. Contributions help to underwrite the cost of the MMDG Music Ensemble's salaries during rehearsals and performances, as well as the hiring of guest musicians, including soloists, choruses and orchestras.
MMDG Touring Fund
Appearances in the world's most prestigious performance venues for dance and music have helped earn the Mark Morris Dance Group its international reputation as one of the leading dance companies of our time. Touring plays a pivotal role in MMDG's success, helping us to sustain our high profile and continually build audiences. The Dance Group tours half the year with annual engagements in cities throughout the United States. In addition, MMDG is invited to perform in cities throughout the world, most recently including Moscow, London, and Macau.
Institutions may designate a gift toward MMDG's touring activities. Contributions help to underwrite the cost of travel and lodging for the Mark Morris Dance Group and the MMDG Music Ensemble while on tour.
MMDG Education and Community Outreach Fund
Fostering tomorrow's dancers and dance audiences is an integral part of the Mark Morris Dance Group's mission. The Mark Morris Dance Group's education and community programs bring dance and music into the lives of young children, seniors and people with disabilities. The Mark Morris Dance, Music, and Literacy Project introduces students in Brooklyn public schools to Mark Morris's L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato. Working with MMDG teaching artists, students are guided through the poems, music, and choreography which make up the work; learn to dance sections of the piece; and visit the Dance Center for a private performance with the Dance Group. MMDG's Dance for PD® program serves as a national model and offers weekly dance workshops for people with Parkinson's disease and their caregivers. The workshops are led by MMDG dancers and musicians who draw on many forms of dance, and employ mental strategies that dancers use to learn movements. In addition, Mark Morris, the dancers, and musicians all participate in outreach activities while on tour in the United States and abroad.
Institutions may designate a gift toward MMDG's education and community outreach programs. Contributions help to underwrite the cost of teaching artists and musicians, study guides, performance tickets for participants and costs associated with the evaluation process.
Mark Morris Dance Center
Built in 2001, the Mark Morris Dance Center was the first dance facility built by a single choreographer company in the United States. Since opening its doors, the Center has become a major cultural resource for Brooklyn and for hundreds of dance companies and solo artists. In addition to being home to MMDG, the Center also houses a school for children and adults, offers rehearsal space to dance professionals at deeply subsidized rates, and serves as a meeting place for community groups. The main studio converts into a 140-seat theater, hosts performances by local arts organizations and serves as an intimate showcase for the Dance Group.
Institutions may make capital gifts for the further improvement of the Dance Center and may also designate gifts to support the general operations and maintenance of the Center. There are permanent naming opportunities available throughout the Dance Center.

Plan to stay in academia and earn a PhD. −= What is Aboriginal Linux? =+== Linux == +I began attempting to install Gentoo on my desktop around 2003. Unfortunately, after several days of compiling, I would always have a mistake somewhere and could never get Gentoo installed. I then moved on to Archlinux and Vector Linux, both of which hated my computer and refused to even install (mostly due to my lack of knowledge of Linux at the time). I ended up installing Ubuntu and began learning Linux. Over the years I would constantly switch between Ubuntu and any other distro that I could get installed. Around 2007 or so, I installed Sabayon and used it as my primary OS for quite a few months. In 2008, I made the switch to Archlinux. I also installed Gentoo and ran a triple boot system with XP, Arch, and Gentoo. Over the last couple of years I have switched from Funtoo to Archlinux and back to Funtoo several times. I like both distros, but I finally settled on Funtoo in the last year and use it as my main OS. −Aboriginal Linux's motto is "we cross compile so you don't have to". It replaces cross compiling with native compiling under an emulator (generally QEMU). Funtoo can use this to natively create stage 1/2/3 root filesystems on an arbitrary target, which greatly simplifies adding support for new architectures and regression testing existing architectures.+== Programming == +C/C++ +Java +Python −Aboriginal Linux creates a simple native development environment for each type of target hardware, building the smallest self-contained Linux system capable of rebuilding itself entirely from source code. This requires seven packages: linux, uClibc, busybox, binutils, gcc, make, and bash.+== Website == − +akiress.com −The resulting system can then boot under QEMU (or on appropriate hardware, if available) to provide a native development environment, eliminating the need for any further cross compiling. You can wget, configure, make, and install additional source packages inside the emulator.+ − + −Aboriginal Linux's web page is at http://landley.net/aboriginal and a long presentation about it is available at http://speakerdeck.com/u/mirell/p/developing-for-non-x86-targets-using-qemu+ − + −== How do I use Aboriginal Linux? ==+ − + −Aboriginal Linux provides prebuilt native development environments for x86, x86-64, arm, mips, powerpc, and more, ready to run under the emulator. Install QEMU 1.0 or later, then go to http://landley.net/aboriginal/downloads/binaries", grab the appropriate system-image tarball, extract it, and run one of the following three shell scripts (included in the tarball):+ − + −* '''./run-emulator.sh''' - Boot to a shell prompt, with the simplest configuration: a read-only (squashfs) root filesystem with a tmpfs mounted on /home.+ − + −* '''./dev-environment.sh''' - Boot to a shell prompt with a full development environment. This wrapper around run-emulator.sh adds a 2 gigabyte ext2 /dev/hdb image mounted on /home (persistent writeable space, in large amounts), and allocates 256 megabytes of physical memory for the emulator (enough to run gcc building complex packages). If distccd and the appropriate target's cross compiler are available in the host's $PATH, this script also configures the emulated environment to call out to the cross compiler via distcc, transparently moving the heavy lifting of compilation outside of the emulator.+ − + −* '''./native-build.sh''' - Run an automated build. This requires a "control image", which is a squashfs filesystem the emulated system sees as /dev/hdc mounted on /mnt. The init script in the emulated root filesystem checks for /mnt/init and if that exists, it runs that instead of providing a shell prompt. (Actually it asks the user to press a key if they want a shell prompt, with a three second timeout.) See "http://landley.net/aboriginal/control-images" for details.+ − + −(You can build your own system images from source by following the instructions at "http://landley.net/aboriginal", but ReBootstrap does not require this.)+ − + −== What is an "LFS build"? ==+ − + −It's a [http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.8/ Linux From Scratch] root filesystem natively built on top of an Aboriginal Linux system image.+ − + −One of the example native-build.sh control-images Aboriginal Linux provides is "lfs-bootstrap.hdc", which natively compiles and installs (almost) all of the LFS chapter 6 packages under the emulated development environment, according to the LFS build instructions.+ − + −The control image copies the read-only root filesystem into a writeable directory under /home, chroots into that, builds packages and installs them over the existing (busybox) versions, and then tars up the resulting filesystem.+ − + −This provides a much more capable native build environment for the target. Since Aboriginal Linux can already provide this for the supported targets, Funtoo uses this as its starting point instead of starting from the minimal build environment and building/installing all of its own prerequisites.+ − + −= The plan of attack is as follows: =+ − + −# Start from an LFS build, plus necessary stuff for Portage to run. (Git, python, portage tree, profile...)+ −## Use the i686 target first, so we can test quickly via chroot.+ −# Create a <tt>package.provided</tt> file for the local LFS system so that Portage doesn't complain of unsatisfied <tt>/var/db/pkg</tt> entries.+ −# Use Portage to build a stage1 tarball to /tmp/stage1root.+ − + −Once we have a stage 1 for the target, Funtoo has been bootstrapped and we can extend this approach to bootstrap Funtoo on any architecture.+ − + −== Details ==+ − + −* Setup LFS-i686 filesystem+ − + −:wget http://landley.net/aboriginal/downloads/binaries/extras/lfs-bootstrap.tar.gz-i686+ −:tar xvzf lfs-bootstrap.tar.gz-i686+ −:sudo env -i HOST=i686 $(which chroot) lfs-bootstrap /sbin/init.sh+ − + −* Install python+ − + −:wget http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/Python-2.7.2.tar.bz2+ −:tar xf Python-2.7.2.tar.bz2+ −:cd Python-2.7.2+ −:./configure --prefix=/usr+ −:make -j $CPUS+ −:make install+ − + −* Install git+ − + −:wget http://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-184.108.40.206.tar.gz+ −:tar xzvf git-22.214.171.124.tar.gz+ −:cd git-184.108.40.206+ −:./configure --without-tcltk --without-python --without-iconv+ −:make NO_PERL=1+ −:make NO_PERL=1 install+ − + −* Install portage tool+ − + −:cd /usr/lib+ −:git clone git://github.com/funtoo/portage-funtoo portage+ −:cd portage+ −:mkdir -p /usr/share/portage+ −:ln -s /usr/lib/portage/cnf /usr/share/portage/config+ −:for i in emerge ebuild; do ln -s /usr/lib/portage/bin/$i /usr/bin/$i; done+ − + −* Install portage tree, setup profiles+ − + −:cd /usr+ −:tar xvzf portage_tarball.tar.gz+ −:mv portage-system portage+ −:ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/$ARCH/2008.0 /etc/make.profile+ − + −* setup package.provided+ − + −:git clone git://github.com/funtoo/funtoo-overlay /var/tmp/funtoo-overlay+ −:mkdir -p /etc/portage+ −:cp /var/tmp/funtoo-overlay/funtoo/scripts/stage3.provided /etc/portage/package.provided+ − + −* Try to emerge something. Notice it doesn't work. Frown at it.+ −** package.provided doesn't support USE flags. What the...?+ − + −== Prerequisites ==+ − + −# A smaller Portage tree to not eat up so much filesystem space. This has now been implemented. The script <tt>/root/git/funtoo-overlay/funtoo/scripts/generate-system-tree.py</tt> can be used to generate a system-only Portage tree.+ −## The dependencies are still circular and strange.+ −### Libtool is an abomination. It exists to make non-elf systems behave like ELF, and since Linux switched from a.out to ELF in 1996 (when it was 4 years old) there's nothing for Libtool to actually DO on Linux, yet it still manages not to do it properly. Literally the ONLY thing installing Libtool on a Linux system does is introduce build breaks. (Thank you, Free Software Foundation.)+ −# A <tt>package.provided</tt> list of a current Funtoo system. This can be found at <tt>/root/git/funtoo-overlay/funtoo/scripts/stage3-provided.txt</tt>.+ −#The profiles aren't target-agnostic. There's no way to go+ −"build for this host, I don't really care what it is".+ −## You need an existing toolchain to build anything, and if it's gcc its "tuple" is available via "gcc -dumpmachine", so this is queryable at runtime.+ −## See [http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Funtoo_1.0_Profile] for ongoing work to genericize this.+ −### the keywords=* stuff helps greatly, but make.conf moved into profiles and is still somewhat target-specific. More cleanup needed here. How do you build on an arbitrary host without human intervention (from a cron job)?+ − + −== Status ==+ − + −The approach above didn't seem to correctly provide needed dependencies. Options at this point:+ − + −# Bundle up what we have as a stage3 and see if Metro's steps are more successful at using it as a stage3 (we were trying simple emerge commands rather than the explicit metro steps for testing)+ −## When you cd into the profile directory and emerge an ebuild file directly, it generally builds. It's dependency calculation that's screwed up: package.provided injects a blank package with no USE flags, and anything that depends on a package with a USE flag tries to rebuild that package. I.E. package.provided is essentially useless.+ −### drobbins suggested something like "portage inject packagename USE="flag flag flag" [files...]" to retroactively notify portage of an installed package. (Aboriginal Linux has a BINARY_PACKAGE_TARBALLS option using "touch timestamp; build package; find output -newer timestamp", and this could be inserted in the LFS build fairly easily. Or just use a blank file list and not care that portage can't upgrade/uninstall the package, we just need the dependency generation to work.)+ −# If package.provided is not working, simply copy <tt>/var/db/pkg</tt> from an existing stage3 for a massive injection of fake package information.+ −# Or the option we are going to go with, which is stop trying to build a stage3, and build a minimal stage1 that we will feed to metro to take care of the rest.+ − + −[[Category:Labs]] [[Category:Projects]]+ Latest revision as of 03:08, 24 September 2013 Contact Location Loading map...{"minzoom":false,"mappingservice":"googlemaps3","type":"ROADMAP","geoservice":"geonames","types":["ROADMAP","SATELLITE","HYBRID","TERRAIN"],"maxzoom":false,"width":"100%","height":"350px","centre":false,"title":"","label":"","icon":"","visitedicon":"","lines":[],"polygons":[],"circles":[],"rectangles":[],"wmsoverlay":false,"copycoords":false,"static":false,"zoom":5,"layers":[],"controls":["pan","zoom","type","scale","streetview"],"zoomstyle":"DEFAULT","typestyle":"DEFAULT","autoinfowindows":false,"resizable":false,"kmlrezoom":false,"poi":true,"markercluster":false,"tilt":0,"imageoverlays":[],"kml":[],"gkml":[],"fusiontables":[],"searchmarkers":"","enablefullscreen":false,"locations":[{"text":"","title":"","link":"","lat":30.3058611,"lon":-90.9723583,"alt":0,"address":"","icon":"","group":"","inlineLabel":"","visitedicon":""}]} Prairieville, Louisiana, United States of America (30° 18' 21.1", -90° 58' 20.4899") Biography 36 years old, spending 16 years of that life as a construction worker.

JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) - Chamber of Mines of South Africa CEO Bheki Sibiya on Friday urged rivals the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) to set aside their differences and meet with the Mineral Resources Minister in an urgent meeting on Saturday.
The chamber aimed to "implore" Minister Susan Shabangu to allow all affected parties, including AMCU, to participate in peacefully resolving all forms of disagreement.
This followed the cancellation of a meeting arranged between NUM, AMCU and the chamber on Friday, as agreed by all parties, after a clash between police and striking workers ended in the death of dozens of miners.
On Thursday, the week-long, violent illegal strike at platinum producer Lonmin's Marikana mine culminated in a police shoot out that resulted in the death of 34 striking workers and injured another 78. Ten people died in separate violent clashes earlier in the week.
AMCU has been accusing NUM of "sinister" behaviour and orchestrating the events leading up to the Marikana killings, in conjunction with top government officials, and even Lonmin management. The NUM, on the other hand, slammed AMCU, alleging that the smaller union used underhanded and violent tactics in recruiting new members.
The chamber had hoped to discuss the two unions' differences, with the aim of reaching an amicable and peaceful resolution, said Sibiya.
Liberum Capital commented that it was unclear how the dispute between NUM and AMCU would pan out. The public nature of the events that have transpired have raised the political temperature of the situation to boiling point.
The South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Sacci) said that a recent court ruling could see a labour union being held responsible for the actions of its members if industrial action, which was becoming increasingly tense, became violent.
"The rights and obligations of workers during industrial action is an important element of South Africa's regulatory regime and has far-reaching consequences on the long-term economic growth of the country," it said in a statement.
The Black Business Council called for an all-encompassing judicial commission of enquiry to investigate the general conduct of industrial action in a democratic South Africa, and in particular to look at the underlying causes of the Lonmin crisis that culminated in the bloodbath at their Marikana mine.
Nomura International director of emerging markets and economist Peter Attard Montalto added that the politics of labour relations and the reliance of the African National Congress on labour federation the Congress of South African Trade Unions had in the past led to a reluctance of the political leadership to get involved in these violent disputes, sending in the police only at a very late stage.
"More effective and earlier intervention could have disbursed union members more rapidly and in a non violent way, or at the very least contained the number of casualties at a lower level," he noted.
