Argument: a course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating truth or falsehood; fact or statement put forth as proof or evidence; a reason; a set of statements in which one follows logically as a conclusion from the others.
Argument stresses the advancement by each side of facts and reasons intended to persuade the other side.
You can also use position.
In the example sentence given in the question, previously-suggested argument is highly suitable. But in other instances of a "common line of reasoning for a given issue", the following terms may apply:
Dogma is a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.[1] It serves as part of the primary basis of an ideology or belief system, and it cannot be changed or discarded without affecting the very system's paradigm, or the ideology itself.

Bobcats looking to spend in free agency
Published: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 12:00 a.m.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- For the first time since taking over as Charlotte Bobcats majority owner, Michael Jordan has the cap flexibility to make some noise in free agency.
The Bobcats can create as much as $21 million in salary cap space, which is good news considering they have so many holes to fill.
Now the challenge is attracting some star NBA talent to a struggling franchise that is just 62-128 in Jordan's first three full seasons since becoming majority owner.
And that may not be easy.
"The history of losing and the projection that a team is going to continue to struggle makes any destination less attractive for free agents unless a team gets aggressive and pays tops dollar," said Tom Penn, an ESPN NBA analyst and former Portland Trail Blazers vice president of basketball operations.
The Bobcats don't appear to on any list to possibly land Dwight Howard or Chris Paul.
But they're trying to acquire a difference maker or two who'll help develop a young core that includes point guard Kemba Walker, shooting guard Gerald Henderson, small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and power forward Bismack Biyombo.
General manager Rich Cho laid out the team's wish list prior to the NBA draft, saying "we need perimeter shooting, rebounding, a big man and more depth."
The Bobcats addressed some of those needs when they selected Indiana's Cody Zeller with the fourth pick in the draft.
Now they're in the hunt for a legitimate proven NBA center.
The Bobcats met Tuesday with free agent Al Jefferson from the Utah Jazz and talks are expected to continue Wednesday, said a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the visit has not been publically announced.
Jefferson, a nine-year NBA veteran, is ranked as the third-best center on the free agent market by CBSSports.com behind Howard and Andrew Bynum.
All things considered, Jefferson could be a good get for Charlotte.
He would give the Bobcats a low post scoring threat, something they haven't had in quite some time as well as provide help on the glass. Although not a great defender, the 6-foot-10, 289-pound Jefferson has averaged 18.8 points and 10 rebounds per game over the last seven seasons.
But it remains unclear if the 28-year-old Jefferson wants to play in Charlotte and whether or not the Bobcats would have to overpay for his services to keep him from signing with a big market team or a playoff contender.
Penn said that while the Bobcats have made a conscious effort to build through the draft, "sometimes you have to supplement with guys who'll play the heavy minutes and who bring the right character."
Charlotte has a few free agent questions to answer within its own organization.
The Bobcats made Henderson a qualifying offer of $4.5 million last week, giving them the option of matching any offer made to him as a restricted free agent. Ideally, they'd like to sign him to a long-term contract this summer.
Like Walker, Henderson showed vast improvement last season getting to the basket and averaged a career-high 15.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 31.4 minutes per game.
Charlotte also has to make decisions on whether to re-sign power forward Josh McRoberts and guard Jannero Pargo, two players who joined the team in the second half of last season and provided an instant spark, or look for free agents from outside of the organization.
Penn said once the Bobcats turn things around Charlotte could be an attractive destination for top-level free agents, even though it is not a big market team.
"They have a great arena and a comfortable city to live in; a place where a lot of retired NBA players live," Penn said. "I think once they get cooking, get some stability with the head coach and show some clear progress I think free agents would love to still play for and have a relationship with Michael Jordan.
"He's still an iconic star and that should be an advantage once the basketball team gets on the right track."

None of them is an attack on Ms. Bouder, though criticisms of course have been made about her tweets. Tweeting is a public activity -- like dancing -- and what one tweets is not above questioning and criticizing. Especially when it makes the NY Times. :wink:
It's a fine line all the same, and I trust people are bearing that in mind as they comment on Bouder's tweets or those of any other dancer.

Last fall, the Swainsboro newspaper had an article about a meeting between Swainsboro/Emanuel County Chamber of Commerce and Georgia Department of Natural Resources representatives on how the chamber and state could work together to clean up the natural community, increase eco-tourism and preserve natural resources at Ohoopee Dunes Natural Area.
Maurice McNeal, a Department of Juvenile Justice field supervisor, was paying attention.
Soon after, he called DNR botanist Mincy Moffett requesting his help with a youth service learning project. McNeal wanted his group of young men involved in what is called the Highly Intensive Team Supervision, or HITS, Program to be a part of conservation efforts at Ohoopee Dunes. The natural area, along with nearby conservation tracts, covers nearly 3,000 acres along the upper Little Ohoopee River.
After asking a few questions, McNeal and Moffett scheduled a work project for Dec. 23. This would be an early Christmas present for the Ohoopee Dunes, Moffett decided.
On the day of the project, two vans from Emmanuel and Toombs counties pulled into the kiosk area off U.S. 80. Six young men climbed out. Moffett greeted them and began to talk about the importance of the natural area, giving them a short lesson on the natural and geological history of the dune system. He also quizzed them briefly on their interactions with nature: Only one had ever really engaged in an outdoor activity, and then only rarely.
"I felt excited, and challenged at the same time," Moffett said.
The challenge was bridging the gap in the young men's understanding of the outdoors while also making the project "interesting and relevant so they would enjoy it," he said. "And I think they were interested because they listened and asked questions, which was great."
After an hour of learning, Moffett and the teens got to work, cleaning up an illegal dump on the natural area's McLeod Bridge unit near the Little Ohoopee. They spent nearly three hours mostly hauling away garbage and construction debris, including large blocks of concrete, but also continuing to have teaching moments.
At one point the teens spotted a non-venomous scarlet kingsnake after removing a large piece of concrete. Although scared at first, the group, under Moffett's guidance, soon learned that snakes play an important role in the ecosystem of Ohoopee Dunes and other areas of the state. Moffett also reminded them it is illegal to kill a non-venomous snake in Georgia.
"They were such hard workers and got an amazing amount of work done in a relatively short amount of time," he said. "It is important to understand that this wasn't just manual labor, this was the opportunity to teach them about nature and civic responsibility."
There are more teachable moments to come. The group plans to clean up another illegal dump at the natural area in May.
Ohoopee Dunes Natural Area at a glance
Ohoopee Dunes Natural Area is one of Georgia's most significant natural communities and floristic areas. The natural area comprises three tracts in southwestern Emanuel County. Georgia DNR also cooperates in managing an adjacent tract owned by The Nature Conservancy and another nearby tract owned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. These five conservation lands stretch in archipelago-like fashion across nearly 3,000 acres along the eastern boundary of the upper Little Ohoopee River.
The central topographic feature of the tracts is a spine or ridge of ancient Kershaw sand dunes known as riverine sandhills. Ohoopee Dunes Natural Area has several natural communities, ranging from dry (xeric) dunes and longleaf pine forests to moist hardwood hammocks and river floodplains.
This area contains nine legally protected plant and animal species and more than 10 others of conservation concern. More than a dozen other rare and protected species are known to occur nearby in Emanuel County.

If you realize the importance of life insurance as part of your financial strategy, you should realize how important a regular review of your coverage can be. It can help determine whether your goals and current coverage are still aligned. If you have had a life-changing event recently, or if you are not sure that your beneficiary designations are up to date, you may want to consider a complimentary insurance policy review with M&T Securities, Inc.Why Should an Insurance Policy Be Reviewed?Many people buy an insurance policy, put it away in a safe place, and really never pay much attention to it other than paying its premiums. Specific types of insurance – term, whole life, universal or – variable – are designed to address specific needs. Over time, a change may occur – either with the insurance need or with the performance of the policy insuring that need. Like other assets, a life insurance policy needs to be reviewed to determine whether it still meets your needs and goals and is performing reasonably well to expectations. In other words, determining if you are carrying the right amount of life insurance is likely to fluctuate at different times in your life. Updating Your Life Insurance CoverageThroughout your life, as your personal and financial situations evolve, a periodic review of life insurance coverage can help assure that you are appropriately protected. Any of the factors below may be a trigger for a consultation with your insurance professional:

Does anyone know of a global proof (involving no local argument) of Serre Duality at the level of varieties or manifolds (as opposed to schemes).
You might like the proof in section 5.3 of Voisin's book Hodge theory and complex algebraic geometry.
Have you looked at the one in Griffiths and Harris? That's at least rather different from the general nonsense one in Hartshorne.
Since a $\bar{\partial}$-Operator is an elliptic Operator, you can use elliptic theory in order to prove the Serre duality. In fact the Serre duality is a kind of corollary of the"fundamental theorem" (as I Know it). In fact, you do not need the Hodge theorem, since the Hodge theorem itself is a corollary of the theorem.
For a reference of this "fundamental theorem" (perhaps slightly reformulated) I would refer to one of the following:
(a complete proof for pseudodifferential operators)
(the theorem is included as an exercise on the last page
(Corollary 2.5, for a sketch of the proof)
I thought I'd offer a high-tech alternative for certain varieties. If $X$ is smooth and projective over a field $k$ then Bondal and van den Bergh give a proof here that $D^b(\mathrm{Coh}X)$ is saturated which is a strong representability condition on cohomological/homological functors to the category of $k$ vector spaces. It follows immediately that $D^b(\mathrm{Coh}X)$ has a Serre functor by using the fact that $Hom(A,-)^*$ is representable for every bounded complex of coherent sheaves $A$.
I like the presentation from Analytic methods in algebraic geometry by Demailly. Here is the link: http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~demailly/manuscripts/eem2007.pdf.

Electronics Stewardship
E-waste is the largest growing waste stream in the country. According to the most recent Environmental Protection Agency estimates, more than five million tons of electronics were in storage. Of those, 2.37 million tons were ready for end-of-life management, yet only twenty-five percent were collected for recycling.
The Administration is committed to reducing e-waste and realizing efficiency by standardizing procedures across the government. E-waste is a significant opportunity for the federal government, the world's largest consumer of electronics. In 2009, the President issued Executive Order 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance [PDF - 147.49 KB] which, among other things, called for the Federal community to promote electronics stewardship. The Administration also established an Interagency Task Force on Electronics Stewardship (the Task Force) led by GSA, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) [PDF - 27.94 KB]. The President charged the Task Force with developing a National Strategy for Electronics Stewardship [PDF - 576.07 KB] (the Strategy), which the Task Force released in 2011.
As recommended by the Strategy, GSA first issued FMR Bulletin B-34, Disposal of Federal Electronic Assets [PDF - 64.27 KB] regarding electronic stewardship. As a Bulletin, this document is non-regulatory. GSA developed it in collaboration with our federal agency customers.
To develop mandatory policy for the use and disposal of electronics, GSA published a Proposed Rule, Disposal and Reporting of Federal Electronic Assets [PDF - 238.23 KB], in the Federal Register on March 6, 2014. Our rulemaking process seeks input from the public in order that we may fully consider all perspectives in the development of a Final Rule governing this policy. The Proposed Rule contains instructions for how to submit a comment for consideration in the development of a Final Rule. The regulation being revised is FMR 102-36 (41 CFR 102-36).
We encourage public comment on the text of the policy itself, in addition to these specific issues related to the direction of our Federal policy:
(1) the suitability and feasibility of bulk sale of functional Federal Electronic Assets (FEA) to certified recyclers only through public auction programs (not the general public as drafted in this proposed rule);
(2) restricting disposal of FEA in landfills or through incineration;
(3) what electronics recycling standards are in use or being developed; and,
(4) criteria regarding the technical content and other aspects of the electronics recycling standards that recyclers conform to in order to be considered "certified recyclers " under this Proposed Rule.
"E-waste," as used here, is a commonly used term for electronics that are no longer needed by the office which acquired them. Under our policies, others will continue to use many of those federal electronics. They are not actually "waste."

Every time I start The Old Republic launcher/updater, it throws up the UAC prompt. Is this normal? If it isn't (or is I suppose), how do I prevent it without disabling UAC?
It's a bit of a hassle to set up.
Before I start, here's an installer for the end result, if you are willing to trust me. You'll only need to rename the VC redist as described at the end of this answer.
This installer applies Microsoft compatibility shims to remove the "Administrator required" flag from the launcher.
How to create your own Shim database for SWTOR
You'll need to use Microsoft's Application Compatibility Toolkit to apply shims to the launcher.
There is one last step to take care of every last prompt. In the
* Despite the name,
It's possible the update launcher itself specifies that it needs admin privileges in its manifest.
Download Microsoft's LUA buglight tool here to see what is tripping the UAC prompt.
To use this tool, you'll need to run it with UAC on and admin approval mode enabled.
The otherway is to use Microsoft's Application compatability Kit. I'm not going to step through how to use that thing, but if it is the manifest this may fix it.
I successfully run the program using Compatibility Mode for Windows 2000.
My specific information: I'm running Windows 7 with or without UAC (on a non-administrator account, of course), and installed to a location outside of my Program Files directory.
Edit: I received negative votes because people thought this solution requires a user to disable UAC. This solution does not require you to disable UAC. I have verified that this works with UAC as well (i.e. does not show the UAC prompt).
The shortest and quickest way to do this is unfortunately to disable your UAC settings:
Running as admin or running in a compatibility mode does not make any difference.
There are many and varied opinions on UAC, some people insist on leaving it on, whilst some self proclaimed professionals "never use it". All of them swear by a good firewall and anti-virus. I do not accept any responsibility for anything happening to your PC if you disable UAC. For your information, some of the more interesting talks on SWTOR and UAC can be found through these links:
The way that other MMOs have fixed this is by writing to public files on the computer as opposed to system files, SWTOR does not do this (yet), but hopefully they will see the noise on the forums and implement it in a patch soon.
There does appear to be an other workaround that I am currently investigating, and I shall amend this answer once I have confirmed that it works.
I hope this helps.

In Inception, why do the kicks on the different levels have to occur simultaneously, rather than one after another?
I love the question. Here's a summary from a very tight explanation (with some drawings):
There were two types of dreams. The simple construct with a mild sedative and the more complex construct with a strong sedative.
In the simple construct, one kick is enough. Kick can be either to the self (eg: Arthur shot in the head) or a kick from above (eg: Cobb dunked in bath tub). The sedative is light so there is no synchronization required. In real life this can be equated to sleeping and dreaming about falling, the fall in the dream wakes us up. Alternately someone wakes you up by pushing you off the bed.
In a strong sedative, complex construct dream - a single kick is not going to be enough. A person needs two synchronized at the same instant. One kick to the self and one from the level above. The synchronization is done using music. In the real world, this can be equated to being under total anesthesia. Neither would a bad dream fall wake you up nor would pushing you off the operating table. The reel part here is that if some how pushing you off the table can be coincided with the fall in your dream, you can wake up.
Now, in the act of inception on Fischer's mind, they are in a complex heavily sedated dream. The only viable kick here is falling because death will take you to limbo. As mentioned in another answer, waiting it out is not going to work because weeks and months would need to pass in the lower layers. Waiting it out is a possible option only in the first layer because there is limited time dilation. Also a single kick from a level above or jumping off a cliff in the current level wont work as a kick. The dreamer is far too sedated for that. A person needs to fall in the current level and the level above simultaneously so so they plan. The following kicks (falls) are planned:
Level 1 : Van Falling
Of course, things don't go as plan. Hence they improvise on the kicks. Here is the set of synchronized kicks that each one receives per level of dream. Point to note, no two people receive the same two kick pairs.
Here's the image from the link:
So, other than dying in limbo, everything else needs a pair of synchronized kicks. For more details, read the link.
There are three ways to wake up from the dream: wait for the timer to run out; die; or receive a kick from the next level up. Because of the sedatives, dying wasn't an option; they'd just end up in limbo. And because of the multiple dream levels, waiting for the timer to run out wasn't an option, because they'd all be killed by the projections in the time involved. Kicks were the only way out.
Now, it was clear from the movie that there was a definite problem with kicks coming too soon. I don't think the exact consequences were made clear, but we can deduce some things. If it's a two-level dream, in the first level is one awake guy (the first-level dreamer) and some number of sleeping people who are in the second level dream. If a kick comes in the first level, the first-level dreamer is definitely going to wake up. We can assume that, at least under the sedated dream we saw in the movie, the remaining dreamers don't also wake. Otherwise there wouldn't be a problem; the top-level kick would have woken them all the way down the chain! So for the kick to wake you from the first level, you have to be awake in the first level. This may be a consequence of the sedative, and not a general rule of dreaming. Or it may be a function of the differing time scales; if time is moving subjectively faster on the lower levels, what would seem like a sudden acceleration one level up might subjectively be too slow for you to notice.
What happens if the first-level kick comes while you're still in the second level? The guy dreaming the first level just woke up, so if you wake up from the second level after that, what are you waking up to? Limbo seems the most likely consequence.
So the kicks needed to be as late as possible, to have as much time as possible to complete the mission. But they still needed to come in a definite order, to avoid limbo. Thus the tight synchronization required. But they are definitely not simultaneous, as the question asks. We see characters waking up from level after level, in sequence.
I found the following dialog that I think answers my question:
I believe the "we won't be pulled out", means that the kick from the level above won't pull them out before the fall kills them and they end up in limbo. I've also heard another theory that the kicks need to be synchronised because this is the only way to wake them up with the strong sedative, but I don't believe that this is well supported.
It's probably to avoid limbo. One enters limbo if they die in a dream while being heavily sedated in reality. One other concept to grasp here is that when a higher level dreamer cuts out the dream, the lower level starts collapsing/the other dreamers in lower level might get killed by projections. The second part of this concept is however, my own one.
Let's say we are in second level. If one among the dreamer dies while dreaming, he/she gets the kick to the higher level (and goes to first level). But the people who are still dreaming will experience (in second level) things such as the dream collapsing, and also may be the projections (of the dreamer who exited) trying to kill them.
When Arthur was killed while Cobb was trying to extract Saito, the dream started collapsing, because Arthur was its architect and he woke up in the higher level. Now, Arthur didn't have his subconscious projections in the dream space in that level, because afterall he is just an architect. The subconscious was Cobb's and Saito's.
This leads to a chain of questions which answer themselves.
Now, if Arthur wasn't the Architect of that dream, or instead Cobb was killed in that level - what would have happened to Mal and Arthur in this dream? Would Mal have tried to kill Arthur because he was the dreamer? Could she/ other projections killed Saito and Arthur instead? Would Mal exist in such a scenario? What would happen to Cobb's subconscious that existed till then in that level? Did the dream start collapsing only because Arthur was the architect and does that mean what you've created only will get destroyed? One thing we should know is that when you see other persons subconscious in your dream, it automatically becomes your subconscious too, but you know that it doesn't belong to you. Does that mean the person's projections still exist and due to the heavy disturbances created by you, the dreamer, the projections will start to kill you too?
Taking into account the possible answer to those questions, let's assume the worst case scenario that even the projections (of the person who exited) would also try to kill the dreamers (who are still dreaming) in this level. However, this wouldn't change my answer.
In the movie, what happened to those people who didn't get the kick as planned? Saito and Cobb - they entered limbo.
And because the dream will collapse and may be the projections might kill you at a lower level, you have to get out of it as soon as possible. So, all of them got their kicks at the same time to ensure no one dies, and to ensure no one enters limbo. At the first level (van ride one), they probably would have kicked Fischer in such a way that he would wake up a little later after they wake up - so that no one doubts anything has happened. We have to assume that they didn't let the security kill them in the first level and they kicked themselves to wake up in the aeroplane, assuming you want to take the ending for reality.
I think that much explanation settles it. Hope that helps!
I think the idea is that they need tranquilizers on drip to be able to maintain such a complex hierarchy of dreams, and while this is pumping into them, you need two kicks to wake you from a dream. One in the dream, one on the layer above.
For example: in the hotel. Arthur kicks the rest of the group (and himself) using the elevator, and simultaneously the van hits the water. In the snowy mountains, Ermes kicks everyone by dropping the whole building, and simultaneously the elevator kick happens. Given how dangerous it is to hang around in the lower layers of dreams, it makes sense to kill two birds with one stone, and use the 'wake people from the lower level' kick as the 'wake us up in the layer above' kick by synchronizing them.
This simple plan is complicated by them missing the first drop from above (the van going off the bridge) meaning gravity was lost in the hotel.
It's also important to note that the dreamers have no way to communicate with the layer above, and no way to impart the kick in the the above dream. so once they've agreed to this schedule, they have to follow it. As far as they know, the dreamer of the above dream will wake up on schedule, and of they aren't awake (/waking up) in that dream when the time comes to wake up in the above dream, they'll fall into limbo - hence all the rushing around to stick to the schedule.
If the dreamer and architect of a level wake up/die, one of two things happens:
those left behind/alive either
1) go into limbo (since they die [?] as a result of the level crumblind down [?]), or
2) wake up.
If they go into limbo, they can just kill themselves and wake up, right? So why take the trouble to synchronize jumps, if all they had to do was shoot themselves? It wouldn't make for an interesting movie, true, but it still is a viable solution, isn't it?
In the movie the plan is to enter Robert Fischer's mind while he is flying. So they only have a limited time. One member stays behind to "kick" they to the next level. They have to go deep so they can plant a idea that seems like it comes from Robert Fischer's own mind which is planted idea: that his father wishes him to be his own man and that he must split up the conglomerate.
Cobb has done this before (which one finds out near the end who and what he did). The reason for the multi-level kick is so they can rapid ascend the levels and in theory wake up and hide everything before Robert Fischer wakes up.

Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour 2012 results
The 2012 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour in Cape Town was won by Reinardt Janse van Rensburg of Team MTN Qhubeka, after a tight sprint at the finish. The women's event was won by Ashleigh Moolman.
The 23-year-old Janse van Resburg, who lives in Pretoria, said on Twitter after the race: "My phone has never been this busy.Thanks everybody for the messages! Its the first race I've known, great to win it!"
Moolman said via Twitter: "Thanks everyone for the congrats & mentions! Delighted with my win at #Argus today, but praying hard for teammates & all involved in crash!"
The 110-kilometre Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour, which starts in Adderley Street and finishes in Green Point after a tour of the peninsula, is regarded as one of the most scenic cycling events on the planet. Popular sections of the route include Misty Cliffs and Chapman's Peak. Competitors had to contend with extremely high temperatures along the route, but most appeared to be enjoying the warm weather.
Western Cape Premier Helen Zille, who normally fires the gun to start this event, was today among the 36 000 cyclists who started the race. Despite her recent jokes about her age, Zille is still 31 years younger than the oldest competitor at this year's event. Japie Malan, aged 92, started the race on a tandem bicycle with his son.
Cyclists who want to know where they finished can view Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour results on the RaceTec website.
After party
The official Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour after party takes place from 19h00 at Quay Four, which is near the amphitheatre at the V&A Waterfront. Euphonik from 5FM will be broadcasting his dance show "My House" from here.
Camps Bay will be hosting a variety of parties tonight as well. For those who want to party into the early hours of Monday morning, Roger Goode will be playing at St Yves.
Replenish those carbohydrates!
If you've just cycled the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour, you're in need of carbohydrates.

Trouble building module for x10 cm19a
May 04, 2009, 07:03:04 AM »
I have code for a module for an X10 cm19a (USB transceiver) that I have compiled and used in the past. I got it from
but then I customized it a bit for my own use.
I'm using this setup guide:
For directions on building the module and I have built this module with my changes in the past and used it on my NSLU2 with both the unslug firmware and debian.
I have setup a native build environment for my kernel using the defconfig and patches from the optware trunk
which is producing a good kernel and modules that should be the same as the one bzhou has provided us in the NSLU2 optware feeds.
The module code compiles ok but when I plug the cm19a device into my USB hub the module crashes with the following dump.
x10-cm19a: Found input endpoint: 81, and output endpoint: 2

I've done some more testing of this. I upgraded my eeePC 1000 to Ubuntu Jaunty and compiled the module. It works fine on that system. I even grabbed 2.6.30-rc4 for the eeePC and it compiled and worked on with version kernel also.
On the plug I downloaded the orion git and built that version of 2.6.30-rc3. It failed the same way running with that build on the sheeva plug.
So I'm starting to think this is a problem in the kernel and not my module.

Were you able to get this resolved? I'm thinking about getting one of these plug in computers so I could connect it to my CM15A. (Though I don't really know linux much so this will be a challenge) I'd like to run the home automation software from it so I dont have to leave my PC or Mac on.

I currently have an X10 CM11a (serial to power-line transceiver/controller) hanging off my Plug, through a serial-to-USB cord. It works fine. I use a highly modified version of Dan Lanciani's x10d program to interface to it. With Cron and a series of shell scripts, I have pretty much all the computerized control I desire. If anyone has an interest, I'd be happy to describe this in more detail or share my program with you.
I have a CM19a (serial to RF transceiver) laying around here somewhere, but have never done anything with it. The CM15a (USB to power line transceiver) came along after I had moved on to other things, so I've never looked into it. Is it just a CM11a with a USB instead of serial backend? Does it have all the functionality of the CM11a? Any extra functionality?
I'm sure you've already discovered this web page, but for everyone's benefit, here's some good info on using the CM15a with Linux:
Good luck and keep us informed.

I never got that driver to run although I have not tried it since last May.
I started using this driver for my cm19a and I modified my scripts to work with it.
It has been a while since I compiled it but I think I remember editing the driver code and stripping it down to just support cm19a since that is all I needed.
edit: no actually I just changed the Makefile a bit for my build setup. You should be able to use it as is.
I have not tried using a CM15A.
I also use a CM11a via a usb serial adapter. For software to control the cm11a I use heyu which compiles fine.

I just purchaced a .357 die set today, and I have never loaded up any .357 Magnum rounds yet.
I purchaced some 125 grain hornady bullets today, but I am starting to feel like that is a pretty light bullet.
I Guess that I will also need to purchace some different powders.
I guess I have to start somrwhere, so tell me what you like.

I already have the Hornady 125 gr. The H-110 looks good.
Bob's 140 Gr look a little messy to me,
Or maybe he used Gallagers watermellon hammer on thoes rabbits.

Thanks Doug,

You also have to take into account that the .357 out of a rifle is an entirely different beast! As you can see. I would have to agree with Braz about the specials, I use them even in my .44 about 95% of the time. Much more fun for sure.
If you are thinking about small game, like rabbits though, it is very tempting to use just plain old cheap lead SWC's in either .38 or .357, but I highly suggest otherwise. Don't get me wrong, I have shot a ton of them with that same setup, which is why I also know that a much better expanding bullet is a much better choice. I have seen many a rabbit with a hard cast lead slug go right through it only to have it run away like it was never touched and see my partner put it down at a long distance (for a shotgun) with only a couple small pellets of shot. After seeing this enough I have a whole new opinion on bullets that just pass through and those that tend to expand much more and either remain inside or create much wider wound channels. That is why I use the Remington bulk 140's, Hornady XTP's or Speer Gold Dots on rabbits. Well, that, and the fact that rabbits are my version of large ground squirrels that don't require lead-free bullets

XTP and Gold Dot bullets are a jacketed LEAD bullet and NOT a lead free bullet. They cannot be used in a lead free zone. I wanted to point that out before someone tries it and runs-a-foul of the law.
Read the law before try and preach it please

For practice shooting and most everything else I usually will load up some 125 or 158gr whatevers over some Unique or Bullseye or HP38...or shoot some 38 specials. Lots of options.

I guess I have to ask what are you going to be shooting with the 357. most 38 special londs will work just fine for rabbits, plinking etc. Now if you are planning on shooting bears, then I may likethe 357. Be more specific in asking your questions so you cna get more specific answers. I rarly shoot 357. Have no need for it. My 158grain will do all i want it to do. with a lot less recoil and faster follow up shots too.
I don't have anything peticular in mind to shoot,
Probally mostly paper, and a side arm to carry when in the woods.
I still have three boxes of .357 that Grant gave me to shoot up.
I almost never shoot in a lead free area, but if I do, I will make sure that I am lead free, and legal.
I see no reason to donate any of my retirement to dfg fines.

For the past year I have been shooting the silhouette matches using a 158 grain snakebit bullet over 25 grains of 3f black powder in my Rossi 92.
You havent experienced fun until you have tried that!

Four wonderful Topeka homeowners have graciously offered their homes for this year's 25th Annual CASA Homes for the Holidays tour. They've each decorated for the holidays, and shared a go-to holiday recipe with 13 News This Morning. Now we're sharing them with you!
When we arrived to Michelle Butler's home in the Westboro neighborhood, the beauty and character of the home left Chris and I in awe. Michelle and her husband have restored the old home, adding modern touches, but keeping the character that makes homes in that neighborhood so popular. It was warm and welcoming. And it is definitely filled with Christmas cheer!
Michelle has wonderful taste, and with the help of her decorator, they've created a beautiful home for the holidays, complete with greenery, pine cones and lights in the outdoor space. There is even a red, Santa-filled guest room upstairs! All tastefully done, you do not want to miss Michelle and Tyler's home.
The tour raises money for CASA of Shawnee County. CASA is Court Appointed Special Advocates for children. The organization's mission is to be the voice for abused and neglected children in the court system, to make sure they don't get lost in the legal and social service system.
You can experience Michelle's home, and three amazing others, the weekend before Thanksgiving in Topeka by going on the home tour! I've listed the information for you below, as well as Michelle's Cheddar Carousel (or Cheddar Wreath for the holidays) recipe. Enjoy and happy holidays!

History Lesson: Buying High, Selling Low
With stocks hitting a high, everyone wants a piece of the action. Stockbrokers say clients are phoning in orders. Mutual-fund data show investors buying U.S.-stock funds, after fleeing them for years.
Buying at a high flies in the face of common sense but is often hard to resist. Ordinary investors wind up buying at elevated prices and get caught when the market eventually turns downward. Then they get frightened and sell. No wonder so many of them have trouble matching the market's gains.

But this time there is a wild card: the Federal Reserve.
The Fed has gone out of its way to boost the economy through massive injections of cheap money into financial markets. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has made it clear, most recently in congressional testimony, that he is determined to do what it takes to keep financial markets stable and the economy growing, as long as inflation remains quiet.
The question is whether Mr. Bernanke can buck the historical trend. Bull markets tend to be getting long in the tooth by the time they hit record territory. There have been exceptions, but lately the average bull market has run out of steam less than two years after hitting its first record.
A bull market is commonly defined as a gain of 20% or more from a low. A bull market ends when stocks decline 20% or more from a high. The current bull market began in March 2009.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average usually has recorded additional gains after it hit record territory—a median of 28%, according to Ned Davis Research. If the current bull market matched that, the Dow would pass 18000 before topping out, up from 14253.77 on Tuesday.
Dow Breaks Through Record
- Five Stocks Handled the Heavy Lifting
- Dismal Science Takes Dim View of Dow 'Record'
- Market Rewarded Those Who Stuck It Out
- Latest Bull Run Is More of a Jog
- Strategists Wonder: Will Dow's Rally Last?
- Mood on NYSE Floor: What Goes Up Has to Go Down
- Heard: Keeping Up With the Dow Joneses
- The Dow's Milestones
In the 1990s boom, the bull market lasted nearly nine years after its first record. The current period, of course, doesn't seem comparable to that euphoric time. After a high was hit in 1972, the bull market lasted only two months. The last bull market, which ended in October 2007, continued for a year after its first Dow record, rising 21% in that period.
In all but one of the past six bull markets, purchases of stock mutual funds picked up right after the Dow's first new high, according to Ned Davis. In the six months after that first record, the median flow of money into stock funds, in percentage terms, was three times as strong as in the six months before.
Whether it proves wise to jump into stocks now is going to depend partly on Mr. Bernanke.
More than any other time in history, this bull market owes its strength to the Fed. Mr. Bernanke, formerly a professor at Princeton University who was first appointed Fed chairman by President George W. Bush in 2006, may be the world's leading academic expert on the Fed's mistakes of the 1930s, when it stopped fighting the Depression too soon.
Mr. Bernanke has repeatedly made it clear that he doesn't intend to repeat those mistakes, even though some regional Fed bank presidents and many Republicans in Congress complain his policies could create economic trouble down the road. In many analysts' view, the Fed is the bull market's strongest pillar.
Plenty of problems remain that could counteract the Fed support. Those include Europe's continuing financial uncertainty, China's uncertain economic growth and the risk that Washington's spending cuts could harm the U.S. economy. Terrorism concerns and Middle East tensions also lurk.
There is also the chance investors won't pile in this time. In 1972, after the Dow hit a record, skittish mutual-fund investors kept taking money out of stock funds. The 1970s saw repeated economic trouble that created deep skepticism about stocks, not unlike today.
If individuals stop plowing money into stocks now, it wouldn't necessarily end the bull market. The stock market has been dominated for years by hedge funds and high-frequency traders, not individuals. But it wouldn't help.
This leaves investors with two big facts. First, the bull market is old and, in a normal world, might not be far from topping out. Second, with the Fed so active, this isn't a normal world. Until the Fed shows signs of retreat, it will take a serious shock from somewhere else to send U.S. stocks lower.

Too beautiful for mere words; not enough words in a dicttionary to bemoan their fate. . .
Can't get any more perfect than this. Those eyes....are stunningly beautiful, almost haunting...
Beautiful amazing detail, great photography.
beatiful !!!!
"save the ones we may never see again."
What a face. We HAVE to save our animals we share planet with.
How gentle he looks. The time will come when we can live with no fear of the beautiful big cats. Certainly deserves photo of the month. Well done.
wild life is one of my top priorities among my interest
In South America this is a PUMA
Either clueless or uninterested.
honest Mom I did not do it

Lucy the Panther — by Joel Sartore, king of the animal portraits
BigCat paradise. BigCat lovers adore these images Joel Sartore presents!
What makes this portrait photograph a so sublime animal image? The technicality of it.
Her head and shoulders are lit with a soft white bright light to give her a natural visual image.
Lucy's cat face is focused in the short depth-of-field. Her head and the ears are blurred.
The panther's eyes, snout, mouth and the whiskers are focused sharply.
The cat nose is moist; you can sense its quiet breath and purr.
This is a very transparent, very realistic, very visual animal photograph.
— Gary Conn
Awesome pictures ! The black or white backgrounds really focus your attention on the animal. I love some of their expressions also
Nice panther - they're the same as cougar/mountain lion - right? Beautiful (but dangerous) cat.
Thank you for documenting these incredible animals. I'll look forward to checking in each day to see what your next choice will be. I just pray we, as humans, will recognize that the loss of even just one of these unique creatures affects us all in some way or other.
I love it.
wow...great shots
it´s perfect. Love this photo and pumas!!
Joel Sartore is a master of the animal portrait. Big Cat lovers adore the image Joe presents!
What makes this a great image? It is the technicality.
Joel illuminates the cat with a soft, bright, white light. A short depth of field focuses the cat's face: head and ears are blurred; eyes, snout, mouth and the whiskers are focused sharply.
The cat's nose is moist and you can sense its quiet breath and purr. This is a very transparent, very visual animal photograph.

this is WOW !
She needs no brush, no comb, no haircut, though! What a beautiful creature nature creates!
This photograph took my breath away, WOW!
It is a beautiful picture!
No! There is no beauty in a tortured soul. Her majesty is gone, her glory no more. My heart cries for her freedom.
Very rare shot. Beautiful creature!
she is so beautiful, I wish I could touch her...
marvellous shot
Thank you Joel for alive shot.
despite the well known cruel nature of Panther, these eyes looks like filled with sorrow and a silent begging: this is my world too, let me live !
Now, this is the face of a panther.....Beautiful
Beautiful photo and a beautiful cat
Lovely eyes
Thank you Joel for the Photo Ark project, and for this gorgeous eye-to-eye image.
I live in the heart of panther country here in southwest Florida. This photo is absolutely amazing, and brought tears to my eyes, as I love these animals so very much. I had a Panther sighting once when I was driving through Rookery Bay Reserve, as it crossed the road right in front of me! It was amazing, as very few people get a glimpse of these creatures here. Let's do all we can to preserve these magnificent cats, as this is their home too!
Very nicely captured!!
Such a beautiful animal it so sad that in the wild they are so misunderstood by so many.
Beautiful picture of a beautiful animal.
Just a beautiful photograph of a beautiful creature. Perfect clarity.
This portrait is amazing
I believe 2/3 of all species will be gone by 2100...between habitat loss from over-population, killing for fun or food....far too many humans no longer care about animals. We can't treat each other with love and respect....animals are thought of as even less in value....
@Peggy Dietrich SAD, BUT TRUE! IT'S A SHAME SINCE IN MY VIEW ANIMALS DESERVE TO LIVE MORE THAN THE MAJORITY OF HUMANS!
@Peggy Dietrich The difference is that humans can speak for themselves and animals can't. Human's can step up and change their situation, animals unfortunatly can't

Transportation conformity is required by the Clean Air Act section 176(c) (42 U.S.C. 7506(c)) to ensure that federal funding and approval are given to highway and transit projects that are consistent with ("conform to") the air quality goals established by a state air quality implementation plan (SIP). Conformity, to the purpose of the SIP, means that transportation activities will not cause new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the national ambient air quality standards.
To learn more about the transportation conformity program and how it is implemented, you can download a copy of the documents listed below.
- The Bridge to Cleaner Air: Transportation Conformity (PDF) (EPA420-06-001,6 pp, 3.8M, January 2006)

Justin Roth performs in studio
Justin Roth has a problem. A good problem, though. He's a Minnesota boy, has a few records out and plays a LOT. But most of his gigs are on the road: in the Northeast, West, Mountains and not much in his hometown.
Until now.
The singer-songwriter opened recently for David Wilcox at the Fitzgerald Theater. He stopped in the Morning Show studios to introduce himself to Dale and Jim Ed.
Songs performed: "Shine," "She Dances," and "Bagshot Row."

closed as too broad by Byte56♦ Jul 12 '13 at 19:08
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
You should be aware of the Audio and Video tags. Web Storage is pretty critical if you need to save a lot of data for saved games etc.
There are already a few Javascript html5 game frameworks, Akihabara is rather popular.
As far as other libraries, Jquery and Functional Javascript are 2 of my favorites.
There are a couple of frameworks already: GameQuery and Akihabara, which is a plugin for jQuery to do some game-related activities, like animations, grouping sprites, detect collisions and read player input.
Just to throw more resources out there, check out RaphaelJS. It's a very nice SVG drawing and animation library that has a nice API. Don't forget to check out the demos.
Overall, I'd recommend
In addition to some of the game-making frameworks that are out there, you should be aware of the Burst Engine, which is a JS framework for displaying SVG-based animations in an HTML5 Canvas:
So far I've seen people mention the and tags, but there are other DOM things that are vital to JS/HTML game development, including stuff like adding EventListener callbacks to the element for things like the 'mousemove' and 'mousedown' events. For example, this takes the first canvas element it can find and sets it up so that when you click on the canvas, it calls a function you've defined called "shootAtClick":
document.getElementsByTagName("CANVAS")[0].addEventListener('mousedown', shootAtClick, false);
You can see it in action in this example where I've extended the Akihabara engine to accept basic mouse control. (Press Z to begin, use arrow keys to move, click the mouse to shoot in the direction of the cursor.)
Knowledge of what HTML5 components are supported in what browsers.
Though cross browser compatibility is getting better and more uniform as time goes on some of the newer components are still not supported entirely equally.
Local storage may have some browser specific differences, and for legacy support you'll definitely need a library such as jStorage or YUI Storage Lite.
Web sockets as well may have browser specific differences, but socket.io looks like a promising library that provides a convenient abstraction.
Audio compatibility is a pretty major component that requires different sound files for different browsers: http://html5doctor.com/native-audio-in-the-browser/
Chrome has a couple of significant audio bugs, such as being unable to play short audio files, and playing many simultaneous sounds can crash the entire browser.
The main thing is to understand the browser differences, using libraries to abstract and provide legacy support as needed.
HTML and JavaScript are honestly fairly bad platforms for game development, but that won't matter until you've decided on a kind of game. The answer would be radically different for a first person shooter, an RTS or a puzzle game.
Notice that you're starting to get vague, hand-wavey answers rattling off random technologies that seem neat. That's a warning sign that you haven't asked a question with a particularly legitimate answer.
You might as well ask what C++ stuff you need to write applications. That depends. Tell us more about the project, and you might get a useful answer.
By and on the whole, there's a reason that nearly all web games are still Flash.

There's nothing like a good read to take your mind off a long, stressful workday. And trust us, the ladies definitely appreciate a well-read man. But if you've already worked your way through the best of Hemingway, Clancy and Melville, where do you turn next for a literary fix that also appeals to your inner caveman?
The Voice-Tribune consulted literature expert Michael Boggs, owner (along with his wife, Carol Bessie) of Carmichael's Bookstore. He put together a top-five list of "man-bites-dog" must-reads for all of you guys out there. So have at it! Unless, of course, you're finally ready to pick up that copy of Pride and Prejudice we've been recommending…
Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy
One of TIME magazine's 100 best English-language novels, Cormac McCarthy's western tells the story of "the kid," a runaway in the 1800s who crosses paths with the Glanton Gang, a group of scalp-hunters responsible for massacring Native American tribes all over the country. Says Boggs, "Cormac McCarthy is a great writer, and he's a great kind of manly writer. …It's very dark and violent."
The Things They Carried, by Tim O'Brien
The collection of stories, all about a platoon of American soldiers in the Vietnam War, is based on the author's own experiences overseas. "It's about men in a situation where they're not all brave, they're not all courageous," Boggs explains. "They have moments of panic and weakness and everything. …You get a picture of the humanness of doing something that most women don't ever do. Going to war is a really complicated thing for a guy."
A Prayer For Owen Meany, by John Irving
This novel tells the story of two very different young men who grow up in a small town in the 1950s and develop an unlikely friendship. "I think that (male friendships aren't) written very much about," Boggs points out. "Men are supposed to be tough and not have that kind of sensitivity that you have with your best friend. …These two guys, they're basically an odd pair. But they have this bond that goes throughout their entire lives. A really good read."
Into Thin Air, By Jon Krakauer
This 1998 New York Times best-seller is a true account of the author's experiences as part of a climbing expedition working its way up Mt. Everest when a major storm hits. "It is a gripping story, a minute-by-minute, heart-pounding, everybody's-on-the-verge-of-dying kind of adventure," says Boggs. "There's a lot of internal reflection, a lot of thinking about survival. You've got to be smart to survive; bad things happen."
A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick
Another best-seller, and maybe just a little bit of a guilty pleasure, this debut novel is about a man who lives alone in the woods of Wisconsin. He sends off for a mail-order bride, and the person who arrives is not the "simple, honest woman" he expected. "It's like hormones, sex, loneliness, everything, but from the male side of it," explains Boggs. "It's a book that captures certain internal emotions that men have that are different from women. …Reading it as a man, there are things that hit home."

One resident said her car had been vandalized while parked at the Colliers access area, "and I understand it's not the only car that's been broken into." She also complained of ATV and dirt bike riders using the trail, "doing wheelies to tear it up."
"Last summer, two people on a motorcycle came down the middle of the trail," she said, adding that on one occasion when she and her husband were walking their dog she used her cell phone to photograph an ATV operator. That man, visibly upset, approached them when they returned to their car, she said.

BEER HERE — Weirton Board of Parks & Recreation members Ed Bowman, left, and William Currenton question boxing promoter Angelo Magnone about his plans to sell beer at a boxing show he'd hoped to hold at the Millsop Community Center less than two weeks from today. Magnone needs the city's permission to get a temporary beer license, and as of the close of business Thursday the administration had refused to sign off on his application. -- Linda Harris
"Sometimes parents are with their kids," she added. "It's not just young kids doing it, it's parents who should know better."
Another woman complained about the condition of the porta-jons, saying they'd been a target of vandals in the past.
Both women, however, praised trail volunteers for their efforts to develop and maintain it.
"We can't say enough good things about Dave Cline and what he's been doing," they said.
Cline said motorized vehicles are prohibited on the trail and violators can be prosecuted and their vehicle be it an ATV, dirt bike or motorcycle confiscated pending trial. He also suggested trail users seeing improper behavior take pictures to document it
"The trail is probably the most used recreation facility in the area," board member Ed Bowman said, adding that it's the "first time I've heard about these problems."
In other action, city officials refused to sign off on beer sales at an after-hours boxing show that had been planned for the Millsop Community Center at the end of the month.
The board had given Angelo Magnone permission to stage the event at the center contingent on receipt of a signed lease and paid rental fees, but told him he'd have to get the city's blessings to sell beer at the upcoming event.
During the meeting, Bowman told Magnone he'd talked to Mayor George Kondik who made it clear he would not sign the papers himself, deferring to Police Chief Bruce Marshall's judgment on the matter. Bowman told Magnone the chief, too, was reluctant to sign the papers, in part because he didn't feel the four off-duty officers he'd proposed for crowd control were enough.
Magnone had initially approached the park board in November, but the December meeting was canceled at the last minute and he hadn't been able to meet with them since. Pressed for time, he said he'd proceeded to recruit fighters, purchase liability insurance to protect himself and the city and sell tables for the event, which would begin at 8 p.m., after the center had closed.
"Nobody brought it to my attention that I might not be able to have it until now," he'd told the board during Thursday's meeting. "It's 10 days before the set date, and now I'm being told it's doubtful I can have it because the city is worried about liabilities. If I'd had any idea there was a problem, I would have had a backup. Now I have fighters contracted to come here, they've signed contracts. If I have to cancel, there's no backup plan."
Magnone had told the board he'd be willing to pay for a bigger police presence, if that's what was needed to secure the temporary beer license, and had also offered to donate the profits from the beer sales to a charity of their choosing.
But when contacted Friday morning, Kondik said the chief had nixed any beer sales at the event, "and I agreed with him and stand by his decision."
"As of yesterday at 4 p.m., the promoters were debating whether they were going to do (the event) or not," Kondik said. "The final decision will be theirs they may look for another venue."

Is it possible to disable X at boot time? I'm setting up a server so it would be nice if it wouldn't load the graphical interface every time I boot.
Find this line:

It has already beed answered in several old questions, but cannot find them just now, so I sum up the various situations here.
I did following
Step 1 First update your repository by running

I noticed this thread revolves around assuming you are using LightDM as the Display Manager. Though this may be the usual DM/welcomer, that isn't part of the original question. (And he did not specify..)
In my case:
I use KDE/KDM on my server. Instead, I simply disable the upstart/service from starting under runlevel 2:
/etc/init/kdm.conf: (kdm: 4:4.8.5-0ubuntu0.3 , Upstart Version: 1.5-0ubuntu7.2)
Assuming your default runlevel is 2 on fresh reboot, you will have a console and not KDM. Then you can run DM/DE manually when needed = Use 'startx' /etc. To return machine to console and exit X server completely after this, just use 'log out'.
Other dm .confs scripts are similar. (I setup my server like this.. to be able to work using a GUI occasionally - but, not pull resources when not using/needed or simply rebooting.)
(My current system: Upstart 1.12.1 / Ubuntu 14.04)
Due to upstart the way to resolve this lately is to simply disable your Display Manager from starting on boot:
For lightdm:
This can be any service in /etc/init including kdm/gdm. 'startx' to run as needed following a reboot.
When you install Ubuntu-desktop, it will automatically set
Yes, telling the system to start in console at boot time is possible through editing grub command. When you reach grub menu, highlight Ubuntu's entry and press e.

To avoid doing so every time, you can add permanent grub entry with such option as suggested in this answer
An alternative suggestion, is to change default runlevel and change runlevels at which lightdm starts/stops, as suggested by another answer on the same post
If using Lubuntu 15.05 with systemd managing boot processes it is possible to boot to the console and then later from the console start the graphical environment. Follow these steps:
For Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr and Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, systemd has been added to a third party PPA, so testing it on the latest Ubuntu LTS systems is easy. All you have to do is add the ppa to your system
Now Open the
