Years ago i was able to pipe the kernel to the sound device via
cat /vmlinuz > /dev/dsp
However, i do not have the sound device in Natty 11.04 anymore. Any idea, how i can do this in this new version of Ubuntu?
This, in a terminal:
Ubuntu uses PulseAudio as its sound server (before I think ALSA's dmix was used, I believe. I don't remember.)
padsp is a PulseAudio tool that wraps /dev/dsp to PulseAudio.
The oss-compat package, as suggested by MrShunz, enables ALSA's OSS compatibility layer, so it has to go through ALSA to get to PulseAudio which finally uses ALSA to access the sound device. So:
padsp is also already installed by default, I think. If it isn't though, bash will tell you which package contains it :)

Helping with the sale were, from left, Joyce Darne, Alexandra Melonas, the Rev. Frank Milanese, Mary Lucas and Toni Lucas. Those who missed the bake sale will have their next chance to purchase Greek food during the 26th-annual Weirton Greek Festival from July 18-20 at the church located on West Street. The festivals include ethnic food, dance, music and tours of the church. -- Summer Wallace-Minger

Last year, the General Assembly hiked the cigarette tax from three cents to 30 cents. Now, Governor Fletcher is proposing another tax increase on cigarettes.
"I'm not sure what the Governor's idea is behind a new cigarette tax after we just raised it about 30 cent last session", Republican House Representative, Jim DeCesare says.
While many, such as DeCesare, were surprised to hear of the proposed tax increase, others, such as Democratic House Representative, Rob Wilkey, say this was expected since Fletcher wanted the tax increase to be higher last year.
"He was looking for 57 to 60 cents a pack...or about six dollars a carton...and the increase we passed was about three dollars a carton...actually 2.70....so he got about half of the increase he wanted", Wilkey says.
Only months after the first cigarete tax was passed, many are wondering just was kind of impact another tax increase could have on Kentucky's tobacco industry.
"People will start going other places to buy their cigarettes...and yeah..it'll hurt", Frankin Keystop Shift Manager, Kathy Cowles says.
"You've go to think of all our businesses along the border of KY where we sell alot of cigarettes first of all...and then you've got to think about the farmer...because this is going to impact them as well and we've got alot of farmers in KY that are still growing tobacco", DeCesare says.
"People are buying tobacco products in Kentucky and taking them to other states and the higher we raise the excise tax...the less we're going to have in cross-border sales..therefore the less money its going to bring in", says Wilkey.
According to both legislators, since the tax reform was recently passed, they both agree that for now we should first wait and see how much money is generated from it before we decide whether or not another cigarette tax is necessary.

A hit during the CAPA opening weekend, Geary is back with the full show. This performance will open your eyes to the secret life of metaphor and aphorisms and their role in swinging elections, moving markets, and powerfully influencing daily life. There will be death-defying audience participation, the chance to win prizes and, yes, seriously witty juggling of words and balls!
"Becoming a leader" has become a mantra. But leaders of every stripe are in disrepute, while followers nearly everywhere have become entitled and emboldened. Kellerman chronicles how followers are outwitting leaders to shift the balance of social and political power.
Performances and presentations showcasing and celebrating the arts of improvisation and storytelling, plus Bennington's first ever knock-down, drag-out punning competition!
Andrew Boyd will share actions and campaigns that use wit to achieve social change. Citing real-life examples from his new book Beautiful Trouble: Toolbox for the Next Revolution, Boyd's talk will be part stand-up comedy, part theatrical 'happening' and part instruction manual for political engagement.
Introduced by STEPHEN SHAPIRO

I'd like to see if somebody has been trying to log-in by brute-force into my Ubuntu 12.04 server over SSH. How can I see if such activities have been taking place?
All login attempts are logged to
1. Filter for brute-force interactive SSH logins
Open a terminal, and type the below; if it's longer than 1 page you will be able to scroll up and down; type
2. Look for failed connections (i.e. no login attempted, could be a port scanner, etc.):
Use this command:
How to reduce failed/brute-force login attempts
I would argue that monitoring logs is a weak solution especially if you have a weak password on an account. Brute attempts often try at least hundreds of keys per minute. Even if you have a cron job set to email you of brute attempts, it could be hours before you get to your server.
If you have a public-facing SSH server, you need a solution that kicks in long before you can be hacked.
I would strongly recommend
Getting protection from it is as simple as
By default as soon as somebody has three failed attempts, their IP gets a five minute ban. That sort of delay essentially halts a SSH brute force attempt but it's not going to ruin your day if you forget your password (but you should be using keys anyway!)

Writing a story for everyone with a GLBT protagonist
Hello Everyone.
Nowadays the GLBT presence in games is becoming a common thing, with games like Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Persona and The Sims letting you choose a same-sex partner.
But I've got a question of opinion
How would you direct a story where the protagonist is GLBT with no choice of being straight and still be appealing for everyone?
I know this is a hard question to answer since there's still a lot of people that don't accept this "way of life". But still I would like to know your answer.
Re: Writing a story for everyone with a GLBT protagonist
The reason the games you mentioned relate to everyone is because they give you the choice, to decide for yourself. Homosexuals wouldn't be able to relate to a game with only heterosexual decisions, so the designers give them a choice to choose either sex.
By making your character a homosexual, you are inherently cutting heterosexuals off, making it so they cannot relate to the game.
There's ways designers make the character the player. I.e. In a lot of games the main character never talks, so it doesn't say or think anything that disagrees with the player. At the beginning you are allowed to name yourself, so that you are addressed as your name. You are allowed to customize your character, to give yourself an identity. You can choose your evil/nice pathways in quests, side with different people, make different decisions that make you your own person.
Having both the goal of relating to a character, and the goal of having a homosexual character's sexuality is in contradiction with itself.
Re: Writing a story for everyone with a GLBT protagonist
I don't think that's entirely true, then you would be saying that homosexuals can't relate to heterosexual characters.
For instance in movies, how people can relate to the character if the spectator is not the character and is not molded to the viewer.
Taking this further into games, there are people that many times feel related to the characters in a game, even if the player and character are not from the same sex, ethnic, sexuality or even country. For example, I really felt related to the character of Papo & Yo and I didn't have an abusing father, neither a female love interest or I didn't live in my imagination as child.
I think you are talking mostly about RPGs, and as my answer above I think that if an homosexual can relate to heterosexual characters, then an heterosexual can relate to an homosexual character. The thing is how to present and beat this challenge since of course, we are living in a "heterosexual world"
Re: Writing a story for everyone with a GLBT protagonist
As has been stated previously, it's really a manner of presenting the character. In a game where the script rather than player actions is the driving force behind story progression, then a GLBT character probably wouldn't turn many players off because said character wouldn't be asking players to identify with them.
However, in the case where the protagonist is meant to be a shell for which the character projects themselves onto (in the case of many player driven RPGs), then of course having a GLBT is going to alienate audience members. Giving a player-controlled character any semblance of personality has the potenetial to backfire (as gloriously exhibited in the fan reaction to the depiction of Samus Aran in Metroid: Other M).
This does sort of bring up a much bigger question, though, and that is where do the limits of player projection lie? What's the most different type of person a player can relate to? Why can a player relate to a criminal (as in Grand Theft Auto) easily and not a GLBT person? Perhaps it has something to do with empirical access. Everyone is capable of crime, but not everyone wants a same-sex romantic partner.
Is race a limiting factor? Probably not, actually-- I mean, The Elder Scrolls (at least, recent installments, I'm unfamiliar with the series as a whole) allow players to parade around as lizard people and still feel a connection to that character. But I feel as if gender and sexuality more often are, when made relevant to the story, at least, because there are some things that GLBT (and men/women) just do differently than other people.
I mean, my methodology when approaching things like this is that unless I'm making a dating sim (which I don't plan to do), sexuality and gender are two things usually irrellevant to the story, or at least irrellevant enough to not interfere with player connection. Certainly a (male) protagonist could have a male significant other in, let's say, an adventure game, but as long as the story isn't explicitly about their relationship, then I doubt players are going to feel disconnected from that character (in fact, it may allow the character to be more well liked, by being more interesting than the average protagonist). It's a detail that doesn't really alter the fundamentals of a character with depth, and as such shouldn't cause players to feel disconnected.
But I will say, though I hate how it makes me sound, there is a limit to how gay you can make a character before it just stops being compelling. But that's more about fault of emphasis. In this scenerio, the character's homosexuality would become a character all of its own rather than being a part of the character's background information (which, sadly, tends to happen a lot to GLBT characters depicted in media for some odd reason).
So, yes, it does depend on the game. But it also depends on the game's focus. If the game has no or little focus on romantic love, then I'd probably say that even a player-driven RPG could involve a GLBT protagonist.
Just as long as it's not a dating sim.
Re: Writing a story for everyone with a GLBT protagonist
It would be ok, I believe that as long as you have some common ground with the character people will still be able to relate to them, take Lara Croft for instance, one of the most famous gaming characters and is a female, then why do males still play tomb raider, and don't say boobs, for example I am asexual and yet I like tomb raider and am male.
Re: Writing a story for everyone with a GLBT protagonist
TomQuick, this topic had been dormant for 16 months. It's very unlikely that the OP still needed further responses after all that time. Please do not "necro" long-dormant topics. Closing.

text: I was going through some of the art I have in the tattoo section and I found that I have never made a tutorial on "how to draw a spider tattoo", step by step. I literally could not believe my eyes when I found that I never created a spider tattoo. When I was thinking of a cool design I wanted to make something that I have seen a lot on the arms, legs, and backs of various people. After thinking and looking at all sorts of designs, I finally went ahead with a concept that is going to make the spider look like it's coming off the skin for a realistic effect. Instead of creating a fictional type of spider, I went ahead and tried to make an actual spider design. What makes the spider look like it's popping off the skin is the shadowing that is drawn in under the body and legs. It is a relatively easy spider to create which means I feel confident that you will do a good job with replicating the spider tattoo. Remember, tattoos are fun because you can alter them to look like anything you want. I will be back in a few so hang around to see what turns up new. Peace out people!

Bank of Oak Ridge has earned the highest five-star rating for 98 consecutive quarters. The rating is based on March 31, 2013 financial data and indicates that Bank of Oak Ridge is one of the strongest banks in the nation. Having earned and sustained its five-star rating for this length of time merits them an even more elite distinction of being a "Sustained Superiority Bank." Only three percent of the nation's banks have earned Bauer's top rating for so long and with such consistency.
"There has been much discussion lately about the need for bank to boost their capital level," Karen L. Dorway, president of the rating firm, said. "That doesn't worry Bank of Oak Ridge: its capital ratios are already well above regulatory requirements. Under the direction of Mr. E. H. Allen, CEO, Bank of Oak Ridge excels in areas of asset quality, profitability and much more."
Bank of Oak Ridge is a member of the FDIC and an Equal Housing Lender and its branch office is located on North Oak Street in Oak Ridge

5 Terrifying Origin Stories Behind Popular Children's Songs
As nauseatingly wholesome as children's songs may seem, sometimes there are corpses buried under those mountains of spaghetti, and axe murderers behind those rainbows. Whether that's a case of the original lyrics being intentionally omitted, or just a complete misunderstanding of what the song was trying to say in the first place, there's something a little disconcerting about hearing third graders sing these songs in their pure little voices while knowing what they're really about ...
#5. "London Bridge Is Falling Down"
How We Know It Today:
London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down,
My fair lady.
We suppose it's pretty messed up to write an ode to shoddy civil engineering, but really, how bad could this be?
Aside from all those suicides, nothing sinister ever happens on bridges!
What It Actually Means:
It's a song about starving children to death.
There have been a lot of theories over the years as to what the collapse of the London Bridge in the song means. Some believe that it refers to Viking attacks back in the 11th century. As no documented records of such an attack on the bridge exist, however, we'll instead focus on a different interpretation: immurement. Don't know the term? Well then, here's a new reason to drink in the morning!
Immurement is the practice of entombing someone within a structure, where they slowly die from lack of food and water (not to be confused with being buried alive, where you mercifully just get to suffocate). The tradition is centuries old, based on the belief that such sacrifices would ensure the stability of the structures in which people were imprisoned.
It was thought too awful to be anything but myth, but some documented cases have been recorded: They turned up a slew of bodies within the walls of several old European structures, including castles, churches and, in the case of Bremen, Germany, at least one bridge. In other words, London Bridge is most likely a reference to the sacrifice of a child within the bridge's base to serve as an "eternal watchman."
Murdering children was the duct tape of the ancient world.
Still not convinced? There's a game that children often play while singing this little ditty, where two of them join hands to form an arch, and the others take turns running underneath until the end of the song, at which point the hands are lowered and the last child is captured within. That's right: Your kids are out there on the playground right now, practicing ritual sacrifice.
And you thought video games were teaching them some bad behavior ...
#4. "Blow the Man Down"
How We Know It Today:
I'll sing you a song, a good song of the sea
With a way, hey, blow the man down
And trust that you'll join in the chorus with me
Give me some time to blow the man down.
A sea shanty turned popular children's tune, the song is practically a default inclusion on any vaguely outdoor-themed musical compilation. So, let's see, it talks about the ocean and an "old skipper" -- there must have been a bad storm or something that caused him to get blown down, right?
Let's just pretend that's the only explanation for the term that occurred to any of us.
What It Actually Means:
Just wait 'til we get out to sea first, then you can start abusing the workers.
Being "blown down" doesn't refer to a strong wind, or anything else you probably suspect about a bunch of men stuck at sea for long, lonely periods (*cough*). During the 18th century, when the song originated, "blow the man down" was slang for a man being knocked to the ground, either from in-crew fighting or from the ships' officers inflicting a little discipline.
The lash. Better for discipline than sodomy, not quite as effective as rum.
As a sea shanty, there are numerous alternate verses of the song. Several versions include mention of a "Black Baller" -- a ship designed for fast transport during the second half of the 19th century. They were one of the quickest ways to travel among major cities, but not always the safest. They were notorious for being hard on their crews, with the captain and officers often signing up ignorant first time sailors and then regularly dishing out harsh beatings as soon as the ship got out to sea. Some original lyrics in "Blow the Man Down" read: "When the Black Baller gets clear of the land / 'Tis then you will hear the great word of command."
As a side note, the first mates were known as "blowers," while the third mates were "greasers." Sadly, our research shows that the companion song "Grease the Black Balled Blower Down" failed to catch on, for some reason.
#3. "Jimmy Crack Corn"
How We Know It Today:
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
My master's gone away.
We're guessing the whole "master's gone away" line is probably going to be the source of the trouble here. Although admittedly, that's apropos of nothing: We have no idea who Jimmy is, or why everybody is so indifferent to his zealous corn-fracturing.
What It Actually Means:
Some dude fell off a horse and died; let's get hammered!
Called "Blue-Tail Fly" when it was first written in the 1840s, the original lyrics weren't "Jimmy crack corn," but rather "Jim crack corn" (that's not just us standing on formality; we'll use that info in a second). If you actually read through the full song lyrics, it tells the story of an unhappy slave whose job is to follow around his horseback-riding master and shoo away the flies. However, a "blue-tail fly" bites the horse, causing it to buck, and the master to be thrown and killed. An investigation follows, for which the slave avoids being blamed for the death (well, that's a weird thing to cut: Why didn't the captured servant's murder investigation make it into the children's recital?).
And how many times did that blue-tail fly kill again?
Now, remember what we said about the refrain, that it used to be "Jim crack corn"? A quick search of Ye Olde English Dictionary finds that "Jim crack" or "gimcrack" used to mean "cheap," and "corn" was shorthand for corn whiskey. In other words, what at first sounds like a lament from a strangely loyal slave suddenly reads like the man is kickin' back and enjoying some cheap booze after his jerk master's "accident." It makes way more sense this way: Nobody would mourn the death of a corn-loving slave driver, but of course an oppressed slave would celebrate his temporary freedom with a cheap bottle of rotgut. We're not saying the song is bad or anything; rejoicing at the death of evil isn't necessarily evil itself. Still, it means your children are singing a song about gettin' fucked up on Everclear to commemorate that time a guy got his brains bashed in.

How to use YUI Color Picker
I am looking for a way to use YUI's Color Picker (http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examp...html?mode=dist) instead of the current ColorPalette class within Extjs.
I looked through the forum for answer and found Frank Cheung's demo (http://www.ajaxjs.com/yuicn/extras/morecolorpanel.htm). Although it is still not exactly what I want to accomplish, I still think Frank did a fantastic job and I can definitely learn from his example.
23 May 2007 12:45 PM #2
What code have you tried so far? What problem are you having?
23 May 2007 1:29 PM #3
So far, I added YUI's Slider.js into extjs/source/yui directory, and used the following codes from YUI:
YAHOO.example.ColorPicker = function() { var Slider=YAHOO.widget.Slider; var Color=YAHOO.util.Color; var Dom=YAHOO.util.Dom; var pickerSize=180; var hue,picker,panel; // hue, int[0,359] var getH = function() { var h = (pickerSize - hue.getValue()) / pickerSize; h = Math.round(h*360); return (h == 360) ? 0 : h; } // saturation, int[0,1], left to right var getS = function() { return picker.getXValue() / pickerSize; } // value, int[0,1], top to bottom var getV = function() { return (pickerSize - picker.getYValue()) / pickerSize; } var swatchUpdate = function() { var h=getH(), s=getS(), v=getV(); //YAHOO.log("hsv " + [h,s,v]); Dom.get("hval").value = h; Dom.get("sval").value = Math.round(s*100); Dom.get("vval").value = Math.round(v*100); var rgb = Color.hsv2rgb(h, s, v); var styleDef = "rgb(" + rgb.join(",") + ")"; Dom.setStyle("swatch", "background-color", styleDef); Dom.get("rval").value = rgb[0]; Dom.get("gval").value = rgb[1]; Dom.get("bval").value = rgb[2]; Dom.get("hexval").value = Color.rgb2hex(rgb[0], rgb[1], rgb[2]); }; var hueUpdate = function(newOffset) { //YAHOO.log("hue update: " + newOffset , "warn"); var rgb = Color.hsv2rgb(getH(), 1, 1); var styleDef = "rgb(" + rgb.join(",") + ")"; Dom.setStyle("pickerDiv", "background-color", styleDef); swatchUpdate(); }; pickerUpdate = function(newOffset) { //YAHOO.log("picker update [" + newOffset.x + ", " + newOffset.y + "]" , "warn"); swatchUpdate(); }; return { init: function () { hue = Slider.getVertSlider("hueBg", "hueThumb", 0, pickerSize); hue.subscribe("change", hueUpdate); picker = Slider.getSliderRegion("pickerDiv", "selector", 0, pickerSize, 0, pickerSize); picker.subscribe("change", pickerUpdate); hueUpdate(0); panel = new YAHOO.util.DD("ddPicker"); panel.setHandleElId("pickerHandle"); } } }(); YAHOO.util.Event.on(window, "load", YAHOO.example.ColorPicker.init);
The error message (per firebug) is:
Slider has no properties
hue = Slider.getVertSlider("hueBg", "hueThumb", 0, pickerSize);
The UI result is that the color wheel is not showing and only existing HTML mock-up is present.
23 May 2007 1:39 PM #4
I haven't looked at YUI code, but unless Slider is a singleton object that's instantiated somewhere in their code, you have to create one e.g
var myslide = new Slider(....);Tim Ryan

23 May 2007 1:43 PM #5
The Color and Dom lines are just creating aliases to those namespaces, so they are correct, but I assume the Slider line is supposed to be creating a class instance? Should it be:
var Slider= new YAHOO.widget.Slider();
23 May 2007 1:44 PM #6
23 May 2007 3:15 PM #7
Great question, Brian! Since Ext is built on top of YUI, do I still need to explicitly include the reference to the js file, such as extjs/source/yui/Slider.js?
Secondly, the code I am trying is straight out of YUI's Color Picker example, so the code below obviously works in their scenario:
var Slider=YAHOO.widget.Slider;
Thank you, guys.
23 May 2007 3:18 PM #8
Btw, I am currently including the following js file references:
<script src="/extjs/adapter/yui/yui-utilities.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/extjs/adapter/yui/ext-yui-adapter.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/extjs/ext-all.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/extjs/package/util.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
Will these references give me access to YUI functions and classes?
23 May 2007 3:28 PM #9
The yui-utilities.js ONLY includes the bare minimum utilities required by Ext (YAHOO, Dom, Event). Any additional YUI widget files that you want to use must be included separately after the other includes. There should not be any issues with doing that, many people do.
23 May 2007 3:34 PM #10
If I understand this correctly, in addition to add the YUI Slider.js to the existing 5 that reside in /extjs/source/yui/, I also need to add its codes to /extjs/adapter/yui/yui-utilities.js? If so, do I simply copy the codes from slider.js to yui-utilities.js, or there are other things I should be watching out for?

You've got 3 words here that look similar but in meaning and use are really pretty distinct.
どうか is used to make very polite requests. It has kind of a strong meaning so I don't think it's something that comes up too often in your day to day life. It can have a kind of sense of desperation to it, like begging a doctor to save someone's life or begging someone not to take you to court or something like that, or it can also just be affixed to polite requests. (どうか助けてください!) (alc for reference)
どうにか expresses the idea of "somehow or other," like you're not really sure how or why it worked, or you didn't think it would. Basically things just weren't that great but some way or another you managed to pull through. (難しかったが、どうにか成功しました) (alc for reference)
どうかして kind of borrows from どうか but only insofar as it describes doing "something." どうかして just means that you want to do something, somehow. In fact it doesn't really matter how, you just want to make it happen. It may be more useful to think of it as a hypothetical sort of situation like in the example below, like "if by chance something were to happen." Examples on alc seem to show this having a kind of poetic "if only" kind of feel to it, like this:
This is not to be confused with どうかしている, which is an expression that means you've gone crazy or that there's something wrong with something/someone in the not thinking straight sort of sense.

I can see pulseaudio is running properly and I am able to hear the beep sound from my computer but not any other sound??? any suggestions please I had already read the wiki page. I run pulseaudio as root and I had added my root in audio group
Just kill the
For that reason I no longer uses pulseaudio on my system, I fallback to alsa now.
P.S some app can specify which sound output to use, e.g mplayer, what application that doens't produce sound that you're using?
First, let me recommend installing pavumeter, which lets you see the in/out levels that pulse thinks are happening.
My guess is that something came unstuck in your ALSA configuration. I'm not really sure what Pulse's view of audio architecture is, but I find that I normally have to twiddle settings with 'alsamixer' to make a linux desktop's audio work right. (For instance, mic being mixed into output, or the wrong inputs or outputs, etc). Make sure you look at all the "soundcards" alsamixer shows, and both the rx and tx channels.
I guess it would also be useful to know what you mean by being able to hear the beep. Do you mean from the motherboard speaker?

I have a table with a primary key which is two integer fields, each a foreign key to a different table. (Multi to Multi table)
In one of the foreign tables two rows are merged and this table is updated to match the changes which can result in two rows being duplicates and cause the query to fail.
There has to be a better way to do the following: (which does work)
SELECT row1, row2
FROM table
WHERE row2 = @ID OR FK_Gmb_row2 = @ID2 GROUP BY row1, row2;
DELETE FROM table WHERE row1 = @ID OR row2 = @ID2;
-- process select in code and loop over results::
INSERT INTO table (row1, row2) VALUES (@val1, @val2)
So if FK_row had the values 2 and 3 merged Table 1 would go from
FK_row1 , FK_row2
1 , 1
1 , 2
1 , 3
2 , 3
FK_row1 , FK_row2
1 , 1
1 , 3
2 , 3
I feel like I am using this solution because I do not properly understand something about the database system.

Zizou gives Real advantage in Isco chase?
- 20 June 2013 08:15
- Posted by @markbooth_mcfc
There's a familiar look to this morning's media round-up.
The names of Isco, Edinson Cavani, Carlos Tevez and Aleksandar Kolarov have been regular fixtures in back page transfer rumours this summer – and there's no sign of that changing any time soon.
We start with news that the race for the signing of Isco has taken another turn, with World Cup winning midfielder Zinedine Zidane reportedly stepping in to offer assurances to the Malaga midfielder ahead of a potential move to the Bernabeu.
Mark Ogden of the Telegraph believes that Zidane's counsel could play a big part in deciding the talented playmaker's next port of call.
"Zinedine Zidane has threatened Manchester City's attempts to beat Real Madrid to the signature of Isco by offering personal assurances that the £30m-rated midfielder will play regular first-team football at the Bernabeu," Odgen said.
"However, with City growing in confidence that the lure of regular football under former Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini would convince Isco to reject Real for a move to the Etihad, Zidane's intervention has now left Real expecting to secure his signature.
"Former Real captain Zidane, now director of football at the Bernabeu, is understood to have held several discussions with Isco's father to allay fears that the player would be overlooked in Madrid."
Elsewhere, Tevez is being heavily linked with a move to Serie A, with Juventus thought to be leading the chase and he may be joined in Italy by Kolarov, according to the Daily Mail.
"Juventus have revived interest in Aleksandar Kolarov at Manchester City," writes Simon Jones in today's Mail.
"The Italians have already discussed a £9million move for his City teammate Carlos Tevez.
"Juventus, who won last season's Serie A title by nine points ahead of runners-up Napoli, see utility player Kolarov as a perfect addition to give their squad strength in depth."
It wouldn't be a media round-up without mention of long-touted City target Cavani.
The Uruguayan is expected to lead the line in his nation's Confederations Cup game against Nigeria tonight but he's found time to quash any notion that his future is decided although it's believed the 26-year will leave Napoli this summer.
Cavani told Globo Esporte: "Everyone wants to play for the biggest clubs in the world, clubs with a lot of tradition.
"But nobody knows my future, I don't know anything. I only know that I am a Napoli player. The truth is that there is nothing concrete, nothing official."
Remember the only place to read concrete, official transfer stories is here on mcfc.co.uk over the summer.

Ladies and Gentlemen: Thank you for joining me today. I would like to thank the Phoenix Committee on Foreign Relations for hosting this event and for inviting me. Thank you.
It is a pleasure to be back in Phoenix after a 43-year hiatus. The last time I was here, I spent two weeks in the home of one of your citizens, Oliver Cunningham. His son Fred and I were classmates at a boarding school in the East. And Fred invited me to spend the spring holiday at his home.
Why do people come to Arizona? They go to the Grand Canyon, and sure enough, Fred, Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham and I drove to the Grand Canyon to spend the day. Foolishly, I allowed my pride to get the better of me and accepted my friend Fred's suggestion that we walk to the first station on the way to the bottom of the canyon. What a friend!
It took us one hour to walk down to the first station and it took me the rest of the day to walk back up. I won't describe how my feet looked when I finally thrust myself up that last step. It is an experience that shall remain unrepeated.
This morning I was supposed to be at your zoo to view the Arabian Oryx. I missed that because I was held up in Houston in order to meet with President Bush, the father, not the son. In recent decades the Oryx, which is a type of antelope that lives in the Arabian Peninsula, has become scarce but thanks to conservation efforts including those of the Phoenix Zoo, the Oryx have made a comeback. We started our conservation 15 years ago and I am happy to report that the Oryx are now roaming freely in increasing numbers in the largest desert in the world, the Empty Quarter in Saudi Arabia.
Indeed, if there ever was a place similar to the Arabian Peninsula where the Oryx would feel at home, it would be here in Arizona.
From the sun-baked earth of both Saudi Arabia and Arizona have emerged people that are both straightforward and plain spoken. We both believe in the bonds of friendship and the importance of loyalty. And we both hold dear the values of family and faith. These common attributes have been the foundation on which Saudis and all Americans have shared a special and unique relationship; a relationship that started when American geologists and pioneers first helped us develop our energy resources, and one that continues to this day.
Ladies and Gentlemen: I hardly need to explain to you the importance oil plays in the Saudi/US relationship. As the world's largest producer and exporter and the world's largest consumer and importer of oil, Saudi Arabia and the US have a natural partnership.
Our cooperation in these matters has always been strong, but has matured greatly over the last decade. But it has become apparent in these days of rising global demand that more needs to be done to improve communications and dialogue between producers and consumers.
To meet this need, the permanent Secretariat of the International Energy Forum, which is headquartered in Riyadh, launched the Joint Oil Data Initiative in November of 2005. This database of information from more than 90 countries is intended to help plan for the future, and to better anticipate supply and demand trends around the world. One of the main reasons oil prices rose to such high levels in 2004 and 2005 was unanticipated strong demand in rapidly growing economies, like China and India.
King Abdullah believes this initiative is critical to maintaining a stable energy market. To ensure adequate supplies, and fair and reasonable prices for both producers and consumers, Saudi Arabia must be able to increase its production capacity without jeopardizing the interests of future generations, or damaging its oil fields. Improved planning and cooperation will help accomplish this.
Ladies and Gentlemen: The pursuit of a stable oil market is an easy illustration of why the world needs to cooperate. The economies of the world, and subsequently the livelihood of all of us, are affected by what happens in the oil market in one way or another.
Many do not realize that the oil we produce becomes part of a global market of all producing countries.
We in Saudi Arabia and other oil producers adapt our strategic planning for production and refining capacity, accordingly.
But as a global energy leader, Saudi Arabia will continue to work closely with all US administrations on where we can go from here. And we will continue to take actions and make investments to ensure that the world has an adequate and stable supply.
But I do not think we can now deny the fact that any nation's actions, well beyond those that affect the supply of oil, also have an impact on people around the world. We live in a global community in which the future of our neighbors is as important as our own.
Certainly, the health of the global economy is crucial to all of our lives, and Saudi Arabia understands the important role it plays in the world and is committed to advancing peace and economic prosperity.
On December 15, the Kingdom officially became the World Trade Organization's 149th member. This step was taken to integrate our nation fully into the world economy, and thereby ensure the well-being of our people.
Accession to the WTO is the culmination of more than a decade of hard work. The Kingdom has liberalized its trade regime and put in place a transparent and predictable environment for trade and foreign investment.
WTO membership will allow more Saudi products and investments in the global marketplace. It will also encourage more international products and investments to come to the Kingdom. Currently, the U.S. is the Kingdom's largest trading partner, with bilateral trade rising from $160 million in 1970 to over $26 billion in 2004.
Ladies and Gentlemen: I look around Phoenix and see a great deal of new growth and new development. Perhaps more than anyone else, the Saudis understand that if you water the desert, it will bloom. At heart, we are a trading nation. Our ancestors plied the ancient trading routes of the Arabian Peninsula. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was a trader who worked the caravan route between Damascus and Makkah, and in the employment of a businesswoman, no less; the blessed Khadija bint Khuwelid.
Today, our businessmen are part and parcel of the global trading system, and our companies can be found operating around the globe, including in Arizona. As our history with the state of Arizona proves, people who share the same outlook towards business and commerce should have no difficulty finding opportunities that benefit both sides.
My sister, Princess Loulwa Al-Faisal, who is the Vice-Chair of the Board of Trustees and General Supervisor of Effat College, visited the US last May as part of the 2005 Saudi Arabia Trade Mission. She was raising interest in the more than $623 billion in market opportunities projected for the Saudi economy through the year 2020. These opportunities exist in different sectors: electricity, water, telecommunications, petrochemicals, natural gas, agriculture, and information technologies, among others.
Growth in these areas will help stimulate job creation in the Kingdom, which is critical for the future welfare of the Saudi people.
The Kingdom has a burgeoning young population, and requires modernization and ingenuity to ensure their quality of life over the long term. WTO accession will help to diversify the Saudi economy from oil and create enough economic variety to accommodate the demands of our people.
As a part of this, Saudi Arabia is also ensuring that our citizens are prepared for life and work in a modern, global economy. Over the past 60 years, Saudi Arabia has established a nationwide educational system that provides free education from preschool through university to all citizens. More than 5 million students are currently enrolled in the educational system, which boasts a student to teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1.0 – one of the lowest in the world. Over 25 percent of our annual budget goes toward education and vocational training.
Education, ladies and gentlemen, is critical to success. We recognize that oil is a finite resource and in order to diversify our economy, we need to educate and train our youth in new areas where they can develop, grow and innovate.
As you may have read recently, the Saudi government is promoting a scholarship program to send Saudi students to attend colleges and universities abroad. In the first phase, the Kingdom has offered 10,000 students full four-year scholarships. Most of them will come to the US. In fact, there are already 95 Saudi students currently enrolled in the program who will be coming to Arizona for their education.
The Saudi people have a lot to offer the world community. Through improved education and exposure to the world at large, we hope to facilitate continued, mutually beneficial international relations.
Increased international trade offers another great opportunity: to be able to combat the poverty and destitution throughout the world, which is commensurate with the Islamic tradition of outreach and charity.
The Kingdom has been blessed with great resources, which are being used for the betterment of the world community. "Your neighbor, your neighbor, then your neighbor," goes a common Arabic saying.
As part of our responsibilities, Saudi Arabia has contributed billions of dollars to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, the earthquake in Pakistan, the tsunami in Indonesia and in other parts of the world where aid is needed. In fact, as a percentage of GDP, Saudi Arabia is one of the largest donors of aid in the world. And recently, Saudi Arabia has joined with other major nations to set up a financial relief center so we can be better equipped to deal with future disasters wherever they may occur.
As you may be aware, Saudi Arabia is the birthplace of Islam, one of the world's three monotheistic religions, and the site of Islam's two Holy Mosques. Five times a day, more than one billion Muslims turn in the direction of Makkah in prayer. Each year, tens of millions of Muslims come from all over the world for spiritual rejuvenation and fulfillment of their religious duty – as they did just last month. Accordingly, Saudi Arabia shoulders a responsibility of influence and moral leadership.
Indeed, it is a unique position to be in. Just as the US holds a unique and influential position in the world today.
The United States is the only global superpower, and this imposes responsibilities and obligations upon it. But there is also a moral dimension to being the world's sole superpower: respect for law and compassion for the oppressed.
Thus in spite of their admittedly disproportionate capabilities, our respective countries enjoy a position of influence that is complementary to that of the other. Complementary not only in that we share influence, but in that we stand for the same ideals. Despite some of our cultural differences, we have always shared the same basic belief in faith, family and the importance of honest and open communication. And these common attributes have served us well in tackling challenges throughout the world during the last 60 years.
Today, cooperation between the US and Saudi Arabia is greater than ever and has culminated in the establishment of a new way for our countries to work together and to ensure our interests are aligned: the Saudi/US Strategic Dialogue.
The Dialogue was conceived by King Abdullah and President Bush when they met in Crawford last April. They formed this Dialogue as a way to reintroduce cooperation between our countries – the type of cooperation we have known from the day President Franklin Roosevelt first met with the founder of the modern Saudi state King Abdulaziz back in 1945. The Dialogue is intended to institutionalize relations and deepen coordination on strategic and political issues.
The Saudi Foreign Minister and US Secretary of State met last November to commence the first session. The Strategic Dialogue will meet every six months, alternating between the Kingdom and the US. Senior officials from a number of departments and ministries from both countries will participate. Six initial working groups have been created: Energy; Economic and Financial Affairs; Consular Affairs; Partnership, Education and Human Development in the US and Saudi Arabia; Military Affairs; and Counterterrorism.
The Strategic Dialogue helps us in many ways, including keeping our countries at the forefront of combating our most common threat: terrorism. Terrorism, ladies and gentlemen, is unjustifiable under any circumstance. The taking of innocent lives contradicts the principles of all the revealed religions, as well as all universal values.
Saudi Arabia currently operates two joint task forces with the US to combat terrorism and terror financing. These task forces have been effective in achieving their missions, and have become a model for how nations can work together to defeat this evil.
By working together, we can, and we will, defeat terrorism.
Our nations are also moving to succeed in supporting efforts to promote peace throughout the world, particularly in the Middle East.
Since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, Saudi Arabia has made every effort to ensure that the Iraqi people achieve the stability and security that they richly deserve.
After Saddam's government was overthrown and major military operations in Iraq ended, Saudi Arabia provided a comprehensive aid package, delivered convoys of humanitarian supplies, and sent a large, fully staffed field hospital to Baghdad to alleviate the suffering of the Iraqi people. Saudi Arabia remains fully committed to efforts to foster a stable, peaceful and united Iraq. The Kingdom has also convened meetings to help reach an agreement on a common future in which Iraq's unity and territorial integrity is preserved, and in which all Iraqis are treated justly.
In addition to Iraq, we must work together to support the people of Afghanistan as they try to build a stable nation. The Afghan people have fought hard against their aggressors and are now working to ensure a lasting peace. As we witness the first signs of positive development, we must support the emergence of a national government and programs to disarm illegal groups.
We also face the challenge of finding a just and permanent settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has remained an open wound for more than 50 years. Saudi Arabia has clearly expressed its interest in reaching a peaceful end to this conflict. The Arab Summit in 2002 adopted the peace initiative put forth by then-Crown Prince, now King Abdullah for resolving the Arab-Israeli dispute.
We must do everything we can to support these two peoples as they struggle to find a peaceful resolution. The US, however, is the only country that can play a vital role in this endeavor. President Bush's commitment to a two-state solution and his declared desire to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians during his term in office is important and welcome.
Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a characteristic of the Saudi people to be deliberate and careful in our actions. Our Bedouin heritage dictates that our plans should be studied and meaningful, as there is little room for rash behavior in the desert. We have learned, over the centuries, that in order to survive in the desert, we must be able to differentiate between a mirage and the real thing.
Winston Churchill is said to have once told his driver: "Slow down, I'm in a rush." He must have been a Bedouin at heart. Our society operates in a similar way, and the pursuit of lasting change needs to be as considerate of tradition as it is of the future. It must be deliberate to be real.
Last month, the Mayor of Riyadh Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Miqren chaired the first meeting of the Municipal Council of the City of Riyadh. This is the first of the 178 municipal councils throughout the Kingdom to which members were elected last spring.
Formation of these councils and the corresponding elections represent an important step in the Kingdom's ongoing effort to promote greater participation by Saudi citizens in the decision-making process.
Indeed, even more recently, Saudi citizen Nadia Bakhurji won a seat on the new 10-member board of the newly formed Saudi Engineers Council. She hopes to increase membership and visibility of women, and to create a database of all female engineers, designers and architects.
Women now have also been elected onto the boards of other professional organizations, including the Saudi Journalists Association and the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry. These women, who have the support of their peers and communities, are reaching new levels; each year, we witness an increasing number of female graduates from Saudi schools and colleges – and that number has been consistently greater than the number of male graduates.
These are universally positive developments.
I imagine your curiosity about Saudi Arabia is great. And I hope you will take the time to learn more about us than what is often portrayed in movies and on television. I imagine that one needs more than to view the movie "Tombstone" to understand the people and the heritage of this great state. The same is true for Saudi Arabia. There are a great many flowers blooming in our desert, if one takes time to observe them.
As the interests of the world's nations are increasingly intertwined, the actions we take at home and the actions we take abroad will have consequences that will resonate to the deepest parts of how we will live our lives – from our very outlook to how we raise our children. Only through cooperation will we be able to achieve the peace and prosperity all people deserve.
Thank you, and God's peace and blessings are upon you.

Hi, my apologies for a rather non-specific question. I wonder if there is a general set of conditions under which operators are commutative in functional analysis. Most that I've found is that "operators are, in general, not commutative". Is there any reference someone could point me to for some kind of review or special cases in which commutativity is established (or forbidden)? Thanks!
One obvious but important observation is that, for operators on a $n$-dimensional vector space over a field, if $1 < n < \infty$, we have $AB \neq BA$ generically. In other words, consider the commutativity locus $\mathcal{C}_n$ of all pairs of $n \times n$ matrices $A,B$ such that $AB = BA$ as a subset of $\mathbb{A}^{n^2}$. This is clearly a Zariski closed set -- i.e., defined by the vanshing of polynomial equations. It is also proper: take e.g. $A = \left[ \begin{array}{cc} 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array} \right] \oplus 0_{n-2}$ and $B = \left[ \begin{array}{cc} 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array} \right] \oplus 0_{n-2}$. Since $\mathbb{A}^{n^2}$ is an irreducible variety, $\mathcal{C}_N$ therefore has dimension less than $N^2$. This implies that over a field like $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$ where such things make sense, $\mathcal{C}_N$ has measure zero, thus giving a precise meaning to the idea that two matrices, taken at random, will not commute.
One could ask for more information about the subvariety $\mathcal{C}_N$: what is its dimension? is it irreducible? and so forth. (Surely someone here knows the answers.)
I would guess it is also true that for a Banach space $E$ (over any locally compact, nondiscrete field $k$, say) of dimension $> 1$, the locus $\mathcal{C}_E$ of all commuting pairs of bounded linear operators is meager (in the sense of Baire category) in the space $B(E,E) \times B(E,E)$ of all pairs of bounded linear operators on $E$.
Kevin Buzzard has enunciated a principle that without further constraints, the optimal answer to a question "What is a necessary and sufficient condition for $X$ to hold?" is simply "X". This seems quite applicable here: I don't think you'll find a necessary and sufficient condition for two linear operators to commute which is nearly as simple and transparent as the beautiful identity $AB = BA$.
Still, you could ask for useful sufficient conditions. Diagonalizable operators with the same eigenspaces, as mentioned by Jonas Meyer above, is one. Another is that if $A$ and $B$ are both polynomials in the same operator $C$: this shows up for instance in the Jordan decomposition.
Let $P,Q$ be operators on complex Hilbert space. If there is an operator $T$ and polynomials $p,q$ so that $P = p(T)$ and $Q = q(T)$, then $P,Q$ commute.
More generally, in a setting where the functional calculus works, if there are any two functions $p,q$ so that $P = p(T)$ and $Q = q(T)$, then $P,Q$ commute. For example, if $T$ is Hermitian (or more generally, normal), and $p,q$ are just measurable functions on the complex plane, then $p(T)$ and $q(T)$ are defined and commute.
As an aside, you have to decide whether you want BOUNDED operators or not, and proceed accordingly.
Hi, I suppose this book will be useful for you:

First some simple observations in order to motivate the question:
The functor $Set^{op} \to Set, X \to \{\text{subsets of }X\}, f \to (U \to f^{-1}(U))$ is representable. The representing object is $\{0,1\}$ with the universal subset $\{0\}$. Also the functor $Top^{op} \to Set, X \to \{\text{open subsets of }X\}$ is representable: Endow $\{0,1\}$ with the topology such that $\{0\}$ is the unique nontrivial open subset (Sierpinski space), then it is again the representing object.
But what about schemes. Is the functor $Sch^{op} \to Set, X \to \{\text{open subschemes of }X\}$ representable? Of course, we could also talk about open subsets of $X$. My first idea was to endow the Sierpinski space above with a scheme structure, using DVR, but this does not work properly.
