More than 10 years ago, I bought one of the first cordless recip saws, hoping it would perform like my corded model. I had shelved most of my corded drills in favor of their cordless cousins, and I had high hopes for recips–too high, as it turned out, for the first generation.
The saw was handy for quick occasional cuts but had a low stroke-per-minute (SPM) rate, a short stroke, and handled poorly. Worst of all was the runtime. The battery lived only about eight minutes before dying out. The two-hour recharge time meant that even with two batteries, I had more downtime than runtime each hour.
Today's cordless recips are a different story. They have faster, longer strokes, superior batteries, and better features. We tested 12 tools ranging from 18 to 36 volts, all but one with lithium-ion batteries. The odd one out uses a nickel metal hydride battery, several tools in the test can run on more than one battery chemistry, and one works with different voltage batteries.
My crew and I used the saws during framing for plunge-cutting wall sheathing for rough openings, subflooring for HVAC duct registers, roof sheathing for skylight openings, and cutting out door plates and trimming beams. On the remodeling side, we used the saws for demolition work, such as hacking apart nail-embedded studs, joists, and rafters; slicing through cast iron drain pipes and black iron gas pipes; and cutting up old floor and wall planking. Then came the messy stuff: old roof shingles, plaster and lath, and layers of old flooring.
Many of these saws could replace their corded counterparts for most of recip tasks I encounter. During the months I spent with these tools, I determined and rated the most important user attributes, such as cutting speed, vibration control, cutting sightline, base shoe stability, trigger control, and blade clamp tightness. To fairly quantify or grade these handling and performance aspects, I conducted side-by-side tests. I outfitted the saws equally with LENOX Wood and Metal blades for our cutting trials and during much of our field work. I also evaluated the tools' functions, like blade changes and base shoe adjustment, and features, like trigger lock-off switches and handle grip comfort.
Our power test was where the teeth really hit the wood–and steel. With freshly charged batteries for each cut and new 9-inch demolition blades, we set out to see who could cut slices the fastest through a knot-free 6x6 with nails embedded in the end. We timed several separate cuts for each saw and averaged the results.
The cut times for each saw varied by no more than six seconds, so I feel that we captured consistent enough results to be reliable. The results are interesting, with a surprise speed winner making the cut more than twice as fast as slower saws. (For battery runtime results, go to toolsofthetrade.net)
Vibration, or more accurately vibration control, is another important factor with recip saws. The smoother-running units greatly improve cutting control while providing comfort for the operator. I have carpal tunnel syndrome, so I appreciate the less brutal tools as they don't leave my hands and forearms numb.
The vibration control results were mainly rated "as felt" in use, but one interesting test for vibration was using the saws to vibrate insulated concrete forms during a pour. We found that the "fair" vibration-rated tools were great for this. Just by pressing the base shoe of a bladeless tool against the foam forms and pulling the trigger, the concrete flowed smoothly under window bucks and other obstructions.
The Winner
Looking over all the ratings and results, the Hilti won top tool for four reasons: smoothest cutting control throughout its entire speed range; lowest felt vibration; top-level cutting speed; and unique top and rear hand position handle and trigger.
Milwaukee takes second place with very good vibration control, dual speed-range settings, and a great, solid feel when cutting.
Craftsman takes third place, just ahead of the rest with some surprising performance results. It is the flat-out fastest cutter because it is the only tool in the test with an orbital-cutting mode. But even with the orbital setting off, it is still faster than every tool except the winner.
In the middle of the pack, the Bosch, Hitachi, and Panasonic saws had better combined usability and vibration ratings overall than the rest: the DeWalts, Makita, and Metabo.
The Ryobi and Ridgid come in last: the slowest cutters by far and low in most of the ratings. And the Ridgid suffers very poor front-grip comfort.

Mayo Clinic adds DC/NYC PR firm to rachet up 'thought leadership'
Interesting. It looks like Mayo Clinic is contracting a high-powered PR firm, Widmeyer Communications, to promote public appearances on a national stage for CEO Dr. John Noseworthy and other Mayo Clinic leaders.
Actually, Mayo doesn't call it promote. They say 'thought leadership.' I'm not certain exactly what that entails. I don't believe surgery is involved, but I could be wrong. Heh.
I should point out that I'm very impressed by Mayo Clinic's in-house communications team in Rochester. Very sharp, efficient and professional people as well as patient with annoying journalists. I'm not sure what Widemeyer can do that they can't. I guess we'll find out.
Here's some from a PRWeek article by Virgil Dickson that quotes Mayo Clinic's Chris Gade. I remember way back when Chris was merely a spokesman.
"We're an organization with a 150-year history in medicine, medical research, and education. As healthcare continues to change, we want to continue to be a resource for healthcare in the nation and around the world," said Chris Gade, chair of the division of external relations at Mayo Clinic. "One way to do that is identifying the appropriate forums and places for thought leadership.
Mayo hired Widmeyer based on work it did for other clients. The contract is for one year. Gade declined to disclose the firm's budget.

Craig Morgan helps on scene of traffic accident
Listen to Craig Morgan on iHeartRadio
Craig Morgan is once again coming to the aid of those in crisis. Nashville's NewsChannel 5 says the country star and former Army Ranger jumped into action Sunday morning after witnessing three tractor trailers collide on Interstate 40 in Humphreys County, Tennessee.
The singer and a couple of crew members helped emergency personnel in putting out a fire and tending to the drivers. Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis says Morgan was a huge help. He explains that the singer's EMT training kicked in, and he responded and did exactly what he had been taught to do. Davis adds that the incident just demonstrates the kind of guy Morgan is.
This isn't the first time Morgan has taken action in an emergency. Two years ago he rescued two children from a burning house in his hometown of Dickson, Tennessee. Once the kids were safe Craig remained on the scene to help firefighters put out the blaze.

Monday Morning Quarterback: The Good, The Bad Of Week 17
The Good
The Bad
Carolina PanthersAtlanta Falcons
Cam Newton did it again. While the Panthers have a powerful defense, Newton's ability to make big plays has been the key to the Panthers' surge that saw them win 11 of their final 12 regular-season games. Newton completed 15-of-27 passes for 149 yards with two TDs and one interception. He also ran for 72 yards that helped the Panthers survive against the Saints and win the NFC South and earn the second seed in the NFC playoffs.
Ryan While Matt Ryan kept the Falcons competitive, the story was a familiar one. The Falcons could not finish the job and their disappointing season came to an end. Ryan completed 28-of-40 passes for 280 yards with two TDs and an interception that was returned for a touchdown. He was also sacked nine times.
Cincinnati BengalsBaltimore Ravens
The Bengals finished the season by eliminating the Ravens and having a perfect 8-0 season at home. Andy Dalton directed the win and threw two TD passes, but he had some issues in this game.
Dalton threw four interceptions against the Ravens and he's not going into the playoffs against San Diego off a solid outing. Joe Flacco was unable to lead his team to clutch victories down the stretch against New England or Cincinnati. He completed 30-of-50 passes for 192 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions.
Indianapolis ColtsJacksonville Jaguars
The Colts go into the playoffs with plenty of momentum as they put away the Jaguars with no trouble. Andrew Luck completed 26-of-37 passes for 282 yards with one TD and he did not throw an interception.
Chad Henne once again came up with a big effort as he completed 30-of-51 passes for 331 yards with one TD and one interception, but it was not enough to keep the Jaguars in the game against a very good opponent.
New York JetsMiami Dolphins
The Jets ruined the Dolphins' season by coming up with a big effort in the season finale and Geno Smith had one of his best games as he completed 17-of-27 passes for 190 yards. While he did not throw a TD pass, he ran for one and he did not throw an interception.
Ryan Tannehill and the Dolphins offense collapsed in the final two weeks of the season and could not take advantage of their opportunity to secure a playoff berth. Tannehill completed 20-of-40 passes for 204 yards with one TD and three costly interceptions.
Minnesota VikingsDetroit Lions
The Vikings closed out the Metrodome with a win and Matt Cassel has made a claim for the starting QB position in 2014. He completed 20-of-33 passes for 189 yards with one TD and one interception.
Matthew Stafford was supposed to show he was an elite quarterback this season, but he failed to play well in clutch games. Stafford completed 22-of-33 passes for 217 yards with one touchdown against the Vikings, but the Lions once again came up losers.
New York GiantsWashington Redskins
The Giants finished the season on a winning note, but Eli Manning injured his ankle late in the first half and could not play in the final 30 minutes. Manning completed 10-of-24 passes for 152 yards with one TD and one interception before he got hurt, and that was enough against the stumbling Redskins.
Kirk Cousins tried to keep the Redskins in the game, but he was off-target throughout the game as he completed 19-of-49 passes for 169 yards without a touchdown and two interceptions.
Pittsburgh SteelersCleveland Browns
The Steelers certainly ended the season on a positive note and would have earned a spot in the playoffs if Kansas City placekicker Ryan Succop had made his FG attempts at the gun against the Chargers. Ben Roethlisberger was quite solid in the second half of the season and he completed 19-of-31 passes for 179 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.
Jason Campbell was once again competitive, but his team simply did not have the firepower to win this game. Campbell completed 23-of-41 passes for 240 yards with one TD and one interception.
Tennessee TitansHouston Texans
Ryan Fitzpatrick was able to lead the Titans to a win in their season finale over the lowly Texans. Fitzpatrick completed 15-of-24 passes for 166 yards with one interception.
Matt Schaub had little spark in the season finale as the Texans ended the season with their 14th consecutive defeat. Schaub 22-of-34 passes for 229 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions.
Green Bay PackersChicago Bears
Aaron Rodgers was somewhat rusty in his first game back following a shoulder separation, but he saved his best for last as he threw the game-winning TD pass to Randall Cobb that gave the Packers the victory in the final minute and earned them the NFC North title. Rodgers completed 25-of-39 passes for 318 yards with two TDs and two interceptions.
While it can be argued that Jay Cutler and Bears deserved a better fate, they found a way to lose this game in which they appeared to be the better team. Cutler completed 15-of-24 passes for 226 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, and he seemed unsure of himself at several moments throughout the game.
New England PatriotsBuffalo Bills
The Patriots came up with a professional effort in the rainy conditions in Foxboro as they secured the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs. Tom Brady completed 14-of-24 passes for 122 yards with one TD and one interception.
Thad Lewis did what he could to keep his team in the game, but it was not enough. He completed 16-of-29 passes for 247 yards with one touchdown.
New Orleans SaintsTampa Bay Buccaneers
The Saints figured to overpower the Bucs because they needed this game to secure a spot in the playoffs. Drew Brees was razor sharp as he completed 24-of-31 passes for 381 yards with four TDs and no interceptions.
Mike Glennon was not good enough to compete with Brees. He completed 22-of-41 passes for 219 yards with two TDs and one interception as the Bucs fell woefully short.
San Francisco 49ersArizona Cardinals
The 49ers are rolling as they go into the playoffs, as they ended the regular season with a hard-fought win over the Cardinals. Colin Kaepernick had one of his best games as he completed 21-of-34 passes for 310 yards with two TDs and no interceptions.
Carson Palmer had a solid season in the desert, but he could not bring the Cardinals a win in the season finale against a tough opponent. Palmer completed 28-of-49 passes for a robust 407 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Still, the Cardinals fell behind early and couldn't sustain their comeback.
Denver BroncosOakland Raiders
Peyton Manning had another sensational game in what will almost certainly be an MVP season. Manning completed 25-of-28 passes for 266 yards and four touchdowns without an interception. Manning set the record for most yardage (5,477) and TD (55) passes in a season.
Terrelle Pryor ended up with decent numbers as he completed 21-of-38 passes for 207 yards, but both of his TD passes came late in the game when the outcome had already been decided.
San Diego ChargersKansas City Chiefs
The Chargers may not have played their best game, but they were good enough to take advantage of a couple of late breaks to survive in overtime and earn the sixth and final spot in the AFC playoffs. Philip Rivers completed 22-of-33 passes for 229 yards with three TDs and one interception.
Backup quarterback Chase Daniel played the entire game as head coach Andy Reid rested starter Alex Smith. Daniel was solid and nearly led the Chiefs to the win as he completed 21-of-30 passes for 200 yards with a touchdown. He did not throw an interception.
Seattle SeahawksSt. Louis Rams
Seattle clinched the NFC West crown and the No. 1 seed in the playoffs in this victory. Russell Wilson completed 15-of-23 passes for 172 yards with one touchdown and he did not throw any interceptions or fumble the ball.
Kellen Clemens has been gutsy for the Rams since taking over for the injured Sam Bradford. However, he could not overcome Seattle's aggressive defense as he completed 21-of-30 passes for 157 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.
Philadelphia EaglesDallas Cowboys
The Eagles completed their mission and held on to get the victory and take the NFC East title. Nick Foles was not spectacular, but he avoided mistakes and he completed 17-of-26 passes for 263 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Foles did a good job of reading the Cowboys defense and finding his open receivers.
Backup Kyle Orton had the responsibility of getting the Cowboys to the playoffs and he had a solid game in throwing for 358 yards and two touchdowns. However, when the Cowboys had their opportunity to win the game in the final two minutes, he threw a brutal interception that clinched the game for the Eagles and ended the Cowboys' season.

Assess Your Risk
Smaller businesses have become bigger targets for cybercriminals because the bad guys know that they have fewer defense resources than large enterprises.
If cybercriminals can breach a small business and steal credentials (banking accounts, email access, etc.) they can use that information to steal money directly, create attacks on your customers and work their way around the business ecosystem in other nefarious ways.
The research also indicates that businesses have vital information to protect: 69% handle sensitive information, including customer data; 49% have financial records and reports; 23% have their own intellectual property and 18% handle intellectual property belonging to others outside of the company.
Furthermore, the research indicates that most small businesses have considerable risks that are not addressed:

* Fri Nov 04 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Make sure gdm is member of the 'video' group. This is newly needed as gdm uses gl as well [bnc#728259]. - Fix the scriptlet to not try to add gdm as additional group (It's already the primary group) * Fri Oct 14 2011 email@example.com - Use translation compendium gnome-patch-translation. * Fri Oct 07 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add gdm-fix-no-split-again.patch: do not crash in old (non-gnome-shell) greeter when trying to login. - Rebase gdm-greeter-greater-ui.patch, fix bnc#689552. * Sat Oct 01 2011 email@example.com - add libtool as buildrequire to make the spec file more reliable * Tue Sep 27 2011 email@example.com - Update to version 3.2.0: + Updated translations. - Replace gdm-unified-auth.patch with the fix from upstream. * Sat Sep 24 2011 email@example.com - Fix syntax in X11-displaymanager-gdm: this syntax error was causing the use of xdm instead of gdm. * Fri Sep 23 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add gdm-unified-auth.patch: Revert 'better unified authentication compatibility' that was committed upstream as it breaks GDM. See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-gnome/2011-09/msg00043.html * Wed Sep 21 2011 email@example.com - Update to version 3.1.92: + Leak fixes + Fix autologin + Activate keyboard layout explicitly at startup + Move extensions settings to common code + Add setting for login screen logo to common code + Create empty gdm.d dconf subdir tree at install time + Updated translations. - Drop gdm-fix-autologin.patch: fixed upstream. - Update gdm-plymouth.patch: take the latest version from the Fedora package. - Move calls to %glib2_gsettings_schema_post(un) from %post/%postun of the simple-greeter-extensions subpackage to the scriptlets of the main subpackage, following the move of the file. * Tue Sep 20 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Install /etc/init.d/xdm integration helper in %{_libexecdir}, not %{_libdir}. * Fri Sep 16 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add gdm-fix-autologin.patch: fix autologin, taken from git. * Sat Sep 10 2011 email@example.com - Update to version 3.1.91: + Enable new g-s-d plugins for tablets + Enable maintainer mode by default + Greeter session handling fixes + Update for gnome-power-manager move to g-s-d + Updated translations. - Rebase gdm-helper-directory.patch. * Wed Sep 07 2011 email@example.com - Update to version 3.1.90: + Register greeter session with PAM + Add framework for gnome-shell based greeter + Plug xdmcp chooser leak + Fix problem with --disable-split-authentication + Switch to --enable-split-authentication by default + Misc other fixes and cleanups + Updated translations. - Rebase gdm-helper-directory.patch: we don't need as many specific libexecdirs as before, as several autostart files got removed. Also add a --with-check-accelerated-directory flag, to specify where to find gnome-session-check-accelerated. - Update gdm-desktop-session-env-pam.patch: rebase/port for pam multistack support, using some new function that appeared in the meantime to simplify. - Rebase gdm-xauthlocalhostname.patch. - Add explicit dbus-1-glib-devel BuildRequires: it used to be brought in by something else before. - Add gobject-introspection-devel BuildRequires: new dependency for introspection data. - Remove fdupes BuildRequires and %fdupes call as it's not useful for this package. - Add gnome-shell Recommends for the new gnome-session-based non-fallback greeter session used by gdm. It's only a Recommends and not a Requires so people can install gdm without pulling all of GNOME (as gdm will fallback to the old greeter if gnome-shell is missing). - Add orca Recommends: this makes it possible to have a screen reader in the greeter session. This is not mandatory for the greeter session to work, therefore it's not a Requires. - Create a libgdmgreeter1 subpackage for the new libgdmgreeter library. - Rename libgdmsimplegreeter-devel to gdm-devel, with appropriate Provides/Obsoletes. This is needed as it also covers the libgdmgreeter library now. - Stop passing --with-gnome-settings-daemon-directory and - -with-polkit-gnome-directory to configure as we removed those options from gdm-helper-directory.patch. However, add the - -with-check-accelerated-directory configure flag that got added to the patch. - Add a enable_split_authentication define, to easily enable the split authentication feature (see bnc#699999): + Pass --enable-split-authentication or - -disable-split-authentication to configure, depending on the value of the macro. + Create simple-greeter-extensions subpackage, that contains non-essential (but useful) extensions for the greeter (fingerprint and smartcard support) when %enable_split_authentication is set. + Stop manually creating %{_libdir}/gdm/simple-greeter/extensions in %install if %enable_split_authentication is set since it'll be there already. + Remove /etc/pam.d/gdm-password in %install as it will get replaced by our own configuration. + Fail the build in %install since we need to investigate what to put in /etc/pam.d/gdm-{fingerprint,smartcard}. - Fix a typo: %{_localstatedir} instead of {_localstatedir}. - Make sure to not package simple-greeter extensions data files twice, thanks to an %exclude in the main subpackage. - Add gdm-welcome.pamd as source file: this is the pam configuration file that is being used to register the gdm greeter session. It is actually using the same configuration as gdm-autologin.pamd. - Link /etc/pam.d/gdm-password to /etc/pam.d/gdm: our standard gdm PAM configuration is what we want to use for password-based PAM conversations. We need to provide it, even if we don't built with split authentication as the GNOME Shell-based greeter session is using it. - Add comments to gdm.pamd and gdm-autologin.pamd to explain how those pam configuration files are used. * Wed Sep 07 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Slightly improve gdmflexiserver-wrapper: report an error if no gdmflexiserver implementation is found. - Add a gdm Suggests to the gdmflexiserver subpackage, to give a hint about the default implementation, if people only install the gdmflexiserver package. - Reformat X11-displaymanager-gdm shell code. * Mon Sep 05 2011 email@example.com - Add /etc/init.d/xdm integration (bnc#714003): + Add X11-displaymanager-gdm as source file, that gets installed to %{_libdir}/X11/displaymanagers/gdm. + This enables /etc/init.d/xdm to not know anything about gdm: the new file is sourced by the init script, and provides information about how gdm should be started. * Wed Aug 31 2011 email@example.com - Add a wrapper script for gdmflexiserver to enable alternative gdmflexiserver implementations from other display managers (like LightDM): + Add gdmflexiserver-wrapper as source file: the wrapper simply checks for the GDMFLEXISERVER environment variable, and falls back to gdm's implementation. + Move gdm's implementation to %{_libexecdir}/gdm/gdmflexiserver. + Install the wrapper as %{_bindir}/gdmflexiserver. + Create a gdmflexiserver subpackage, that contains the wrapper, so that other display managers can depend on it without pulling all of gdm. + Add gdmflexiserver Requires to gdm. * Mon Jul 25 2011 email@example.com - Remove gnome-power-manager Recommends, as the features are now provided by gnome-settings-daemon (already in Requires). * Wed Jul 20 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update gdm-sysconfig-settings.patch to fix changing a value in sysconfig files. Values were not quoted, and were losing the last character. - Also add a comment that we have a similar patch that needs to be kepts in sync with gdm-sysconfig-settings.patch in accountsservice. * Wed Jul 06 2011 email@example.com - Change branding-upstream subpackage: + Add Requires for gdm since the branding package is useless without it. + Update summary and description. + Make noarch. - Change branding Requires in main subpackage to be "= %{version}" since it has to be versioned. - Update branding documentation: there is only one file left in the branding package. - Update Url tag. * Sat Jul 02 2011 email@example.com - Add explicit Requires for the components of the gnome-session session defined and used by gdm: + Add metacity, polkit-gnome Requires + Change gnome-settings-daemon Recommends to Requires * Wed Jun 15 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 3.1.2: + GTK size negotiation fixes + Do not propagate WINDOWPATH if its unset to begin with + Audit fixes + Break cycle between greeter and slave for session notification + Screenshots in docs! + Don't hardcode path to grep + Fix introspection xml + Allow .xsession-errors to be a symlink or FIFO + PAM fixes + Dconf fixes + Land multi-stack + Updated translations. - Add pkgconfig(nss) BuildRequires since nss is now required. - Drop gdm-selecting-desktop-environment.patch: fixed upstream, another way. - Rebase the following patches in a trivial way: + gdm-desktop-session-env-pam.patch + gdm-plymouth.patch + gdm-sysconfig-settings.patch + gdm-xauthlocalhostname.patch - Rebase and optimize gdm-passwordless-login.patch thanks to code changes. - Update descriptions of packages, based on text from README. - Add libgdmsimplegreeter1 and libgdmsimplegreeter-devel subpackages for new library used to write greeter plugins. - Pass --disable-static to configure and remove .la files. - Create the directory where greeter plugins are put, if it doesn't already exist, so we can package it. - Fix permissions of /var/lib/gdm/.local directory in file list. * Tue May 31 2011 email@example.com - Update to version 3.0.4: + Ship valid dconf database - Changes from version 3.0.3: + Register /bin/true as URI scheme handler for several schemas (CVE-2011-1709). + Updated translations. - Package files from /var/lib/gdm/.local * Mon May 23 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 3.0.2: + Crasher fixes + Force symbolic icons in panel + Update copyright notices + Updated translations. * Mon Apr 25 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Drop zenity BuildRequires: it's not needed during the build anymore. * Tue Apr 12 2011 email@example.com - Remove gnome-panel-devel BuildRequires as the fast-user-switch applet was removed. * Tue Apr 05 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 3.0.0: + Updated translations. * Tue Mar 29 2011 email@example.com - Update to version 2.91.94: + Warp pointer to convenient place at start up + Fix crash with autologin + Don't show empty names in user list + Add a gdm session file for gnome-session to use + Fix fuzzy icon in greeter + Drop faces images + Updated translations - Changes from version 2.91.93: + Fall back to username in user list if user doesn't have real name configured. + Be more robust against unexpected changes from accounts service + Move some custom widgets to builder file out of source code. + Load accounts settings before showing session selector. + Fix crash for passwordless login + Other misc fixes - Changes from version 2.91.92: + dconf overrides db generation clean ups + ensure accounts service account is loaded before login + slightly change hue of fg color + maintain worker environment solely in PAM - Changes from to version 2.91.91: + Fix bug that some times prevent user list from coming up - Changes from version 2.91.90: + Make better use of iso-codes + Fix g-s-d lockdown + Set SIGPIPE to default before starting session + Fix disconnect button for XDMCP connections + GTK 3 fixes + Add back session chooser + Move greeter to accounts service library + Update dconf defaults to reflect new schema names - Changes from version 2.91.6: + Add dconf profile + Move to gtk3 + Apply a thick layer of gnome 3 textured paint + Move from ~/.dmrc to accounts service + Be more robust against missing icons - Changes from version 2.91.4: + Omit version in login window if unknown + Fix version display when release file is empty + User manager async fixes + Add greeter specific dconf database for lockdown + XDMCP/ipv6 fix + Fix to make sure PostSession is always called when appropriate + Only automatically login on boot when autologin is enabled, not after logout + Enable braille reader support when screenreading is enabled + Beep when login window is ready + Make beeps audible by enable event sounds - Add libattr-devel, pkgconfig(accountsservice) BuildRequires. - Add dconf, gnome-session-core BuildRequires, needed for directory ownership. - Drop gdm-focus-user-chooser.patch, gdm-xdmcp-disconnect.patch, gdm-autologin-once.patch: fixed upstream. - Remove gnome-themes Requires: not needed anymore. - Remove gnome-applets-gdm package (the applet was removed) and add Provides/Obsoletes for it. - Adapt gnome-settings-daemon directory path in configure call since we changed it for GNOME 3. - Disable gdm-greeter-greater-ui.patch: the patch needs to be rebased. See bnc#689552. - Rebase patches: + gdm-desktop-session-env-pam.patch + gdm-helper-directory.patch + gdm-passwordless-login.patch + gdm-plymouth.patch + gdm-selecting-desktop-environment.patch + gdm-vt-allocation-hack.patch * Tue Feb 15 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add gdm-xdmcp-disconnect.patch: the Disconnect option should tell the gdm daemon to disconnect, instead of just making the greeter exit. And the daemon should exit. Taken from git. Fix bnc#669392. * Sun Feb 13 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Call relevant macros in %post/%postun: + %icon_theme_cache_post/postun because the package ships themed icons. - Pass %{?no_lang_C} to %find_lang so that english documentation can be packaged with the program, and not in the lang subpackage. - Change Requires of lang subpackage to Recommends, since the english documentation is not there anymore. * Fri Jan 14 2011 email@example.com - Rebase gdm-vt-allocation-hack.patch to actually apply. - Apply gdm-vt-allocation-hack.patch on 11.4 and later again: the topic needs more discussion, and without the hack, on a default boot, a mingetty instance will receive all the input from Xorg. This is because Xorg will start on tty2 and a mingetty will also start there, because of the sysvinit configration. This is extremely bad, since this means everything the user types will lead to login attemps in mingetty. - Add gnome-power-manager and iso-codes Recommends: they are both improving the gdm experience, but are not mandatory. * Tue Jan 11 2011 email@example.com - Add gdm-focus-user-chooser.patch: correctly give the focus to the user chooser on startup. Fix bnc#652938. * Thu Dec 16 2010 email@example.com - Add gdm-plymouth-X-nr.patch to start Xorg with -nr instead of the non-existing "-background none". Thanks to Kay Sievers! * Wed Dec 15 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Only apply gdm-vt-allocation-hack.patch on openSUSE 11.3 and earlier: with 11.4, we have a recent-enough version of Xorg that does this magic for us. Thanks to Kay Sievers for the hint! - Add gdm-plymouth.patch: this patch adds support for a nice transition from plymouth. Taken from Fedora. * Fri Oct 08 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Rework the way we handle passwordless logins: + Stop using SuSEconfig for this. Since this is the last thing that was done in SuSEconfig.gdm, drop SuSEconfig.gdm. + Add gdm-passwordless-login.patch: we now directly look at the DISPLAYMANAGER_PASSWORD_LESS_LOGIN option in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager, and use the gdm-autologin pam service for authentication when we want passwordless logins. + On upgrades, we make sure that /etc/pam.d/gdm does not contain the old way to handle DISPLAYMANAGER_PASSWORD_LESS_LOGIN: if /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.gdm exists and if /etc/pam.d/gdm contains pam_permit.so, then we have an old package which used the old way. We move /etc/pam.d/gdm to /etc/pam.d/gdm.rpmold to make sure we get back the right pam configuration. - Update gdm-domain-logon.patch a bit: even though it's not applied because the patch needs to be rebased, a few things could be cleaned up. The most visible part is that we prefix the configuration key with SUSE to clearly show it's SUSE-specific. - Update gdm-sysconfig-settings.patch a tiny bit to make gdm-passwordless-login.patch easier. * Mon Sep 27 2010 email@example.com - Update to version 2.32.0: + Updated translations. * Mon Sep 27 2010 email@example.com - Mark /var/run/gdm as ghost in case that /var/run is on tmpfs. gdm creates the directory itself. * Wed Sep 22 2010 email@example.com - Rename gdm-2.21.9-no-fatal-warnings.patch to gdm-is-not-unstable-unless.patch, and change the behavior: if the SUSE_ENABLE_UNSTABLE_CHECK environment variable is set, we just do like upstream. If it is not set, we make GDM assume it's not running a development version, which disables fatal warnings and verbose logs. * Thu Sep 16 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 2.31.92: + Change orca invocation to work better with latest release + Fix "Other..." item in network-login-only scenarios + Move gdm.schemas to pkgdatadir + XDMCP fixes + Improve ordering of languages in languages list + Make various slow calls that blocked before asynchronous + Fix up dbus security policy + Various other fixes + Translation updates - Drop gdm-fix-dbus-properties.patch: fixed upstream. * Mon Sep 13 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add gdm-fix-dbus-properties.patch: org.gnome.DBus.Properties was referenced instead of org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties in the dbus configuration. Fix bnc#633655. - Move fast-user-switch-applet Obsoletes to gnome-applets-gdm and add a Provides there too: the applet is really the old fast-user-switch-applet applet. * Wed Aug 18 2010 email@example.com - Update to version 2.31.90: + Port to upower + Don't stomp on $LANGUAGE environment variable + Don't show markup in UI + Fix cancel button + Reask user for password a few times, before failing + Load users asynchronously + Handle EINTR on getpw* calls + Translation updates - Replace DeviceKit-power-devel BuildRequires with libupower-glib-devel. * Sun Aug 08 2010 email@example.com - Cleanup update to 2.31.2, based on the 2.30.4 package I did for GNOME:STABLE:2.30. - Drop gdm-save-panel-space-on-low-resolutions.patch: fixed upstream, in a different way. - Drop gdm-add-missing-locale.patch: the file is now in the tarball. - Update gdm-default-wm.patch after code change. - Rebase gdm-greeter-greater-ui.patch. * Fri Jul 30 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 2.31.2: + Add support for legacy "custom" session name + XDMCP fixes + Add optional support for account service + Gracefully hide control center from user switch menu if not available + Revert metacity focus workaround, now that metacity is fixed + Rehide g-p-m context menu + Updates to work better with newer icon theme + Show username input box when there's no local user + Remove gdm-restart and gdm-stop scripts + Remove text labels from option menus + Various user manager and user chooser fixes and performance enhancements + Escape names before showing markup + Call button "unlock" not "login" when user is already logged in + Cap how long ck-history is allowed to run and how far back its allowed to go + Improvements to the way users are sorted + Ensure slave's children always die with the slave + Use lsb_release if available to determine system description + Automatically retry on login failure + Fix timed login + disable-user-list together + Don't exit when X fails to start + Trap XAddHosts call + Minor fixes in screenshot tool + Halectomy of the last remnants of hal + Various crasher fixes + Various memory leaks + Various build and warning fixes - Changes from version 2.31.1: + bgo#594818: Now GDM saves its GConf settings per-seat. + Improvements so compiling with -DGSEAL_ENABLE works better. + Use g_remove() to remove directories instead of g_unlink(). + Other bugs fixed: bgo#617661, bgo#576801, bgo#609272, bgo#591937 - Rebase gdm-vt-allocation-hack.patch to apply without fuzz. - Rebase gdm-xauthlocalhostname.patch. - Mark gdm-domain-logon.patch as needing a rebase: it's a SLED patch that is intrusive, so we'll see if someone rebases it. Comment out gnome-patch-translation-prepare and gnome-patch-translation-update calls since this patch was the one introducing strings. - Drop gdm-polkit-gnome-path.patch: fixed upstream with a configure option that we already passed (--with-polkit-gnome-directory). - Drop gdm-xdmcp-uninitialized.patch: fixed upstream. - Drop gdm-greeter-no-local-user.patch: fixed upstream. * Tue Jun 22 2010 email@example.com - Add gdm-greeter-no-local-user.patch to fix the greeter to work when there's no local user on the machine; this is useful with NIS for example. Fix bnc#615044; the patch was committed upstream. * Thu Jun 17 2010 email@example.com - Add gdm-xdmcp-uninitialized.patch to fix an uninitialized variable, which caused XDMCP to fail way too often. Patch taken from upstream git. * Thu Jun 17 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update gdm-greeter-greater-ui.patch: we didn't rebase it earlier, and lost our improved UI. * Mon May 24 2010 email@example.com - Fixed filelist * Mon May 24 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Split off gnome-applets-gdm * Sun May 23 2010 email@example.com - Depend on gnome-session-core rather than gnome-session * Thu May 06 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 2.30.2: + Accessibility is now enabled by default for the GDM login screen + When the face browser is disabled, the PAM conversation is started immediately, so users do not need to click a button to start entering the username and password. bgo#591082 + Add label-for and labelled-by a11y relations to the entry field in the login GUI. This makes the login GUI more accessible when using AT programs. bgo#613434 + Fixed bugs that were causing XDMCP to not show the greeter again after logout. bgo#606724 + The default XDMCP PingIntervalSeconds was increased from 15 to 60 seconds + The WINDOWPATH environment variable is now set for the user session. bgo#609272 + Ensure Init script is called when using Automatic Login. bgo#614488 + Fix race condition with Timed Login. bgo#614062 + Drop xhost localuser:gdm and localuser:root when the user session starts. bgo#605350 + Removed the icon monitor from the GDM login GUI since it was not functional and was causing problems with automounting user's HOME directories. #609321 + Do not mark "%x" for translation. bgo#613306 + Remove duplicated strings for translation. bgo#609179 + Minor doc corrections + Translation updates - gdm-greeter-greater-ui.patch does not apply and is commented out temporarily - Respin gdm-xauthlocalhostname.patch for fuzz=0 - Respin gdm-polkit-gnome-path.patch * Thu Apr 08 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Use the path for the at-spi-registryd from the old at-spi stack: the at-spi2 developers think it's safer to ship 11.3 with the old stack by default. * Mon Mar 29 2010 email@example.com - Update to version 2.30.0: + Updated translations. * Sun Mar 28 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Call /etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup from /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default instead of from /etc/gdm/Xsession. This should fix some permission issue. Fix bnc#573669. * Tue Mar 09 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 2.29.92: + The greeter is not torn down until pam_open_session finishes since some PAM modules can ask questions up until this point. + bgo#607738: The daemon now kills the session process rather than the entire process group. The corresponding gnome-session bug bgo#607658 is released with 2.29.92 so this works properly. - Rebase gdm-polkit-gnome-path.patch. * Wed Jan 27 2010 email@example.com - Update to version 2.29.6: + Various build fixes + Crash fix in layout detection + Crash fix in session list detection + Remove timeout for interacting with PAM + Fix compile with --no-as-needed + Add debug message if system lacks fonts + Disable switch user item if user switching won't work - Rebase gdm-selinux.patch. * Sun Jan 17 2010 email@example.com - Update gdm-sysconfig-settings.patch: + support DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN for security/DisallowTCP in gdm.conf + support DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS for xdmcp/Enable in gdm.conf + do not pretend we got a value from sysconfig if we didn't get a result (we were returning TRUE too easily from gdm_settings_system_backend_get_value() + make sure that, when saving the configuration, we put the right value if it wasn't supposed to be changed (before, we used to put whatever we had in memory, which was never initialized to the right values, so random data) + add a note to gdm.conf about the fact that /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager is used - Remove the parts of SuSEconfig.gdm that were dealing with updating gdm.conf, since gdm-sysconfig-settings.patch make gdm poke directly in sysconfig. SuSEconfig.gdm is still needed for the DISPLAYMANAGER_PASSWORD_LESS_LOGIN option, though. - Rebase gdm-domain-logon.patch, and only show the domain chooser if DISPLAYMANAGER_AD_INTEGRATION is set in sysconfig. - Reenable gnome-patch-translation support, since gdm-domain-logon.patch is applied again. - This means we can remove /etc/gdm/gdm_sysconfig.conf from the package. - Remove sysconfig.displaymanager-gdm source: this has not been used for a long time. * Sat Jan 16 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Remove libglade2-devel BuildRequires. - Also remove hal-devel BuildRequires which was added for the gdm-keyboard-from-hal.patch (removed now). - Redo gdm-suse-xsession.patch in a way that won't require further updates when upstream files change (which is something we can ignore). - Rebase gdm-greeter-greater-ui.patch. * Thu Jan 14 2010 email@example.com - Update to version 2.29.5: + XDMCP fixes on Solaris + run PostLogin script as user instead of gdm + Fix ellipses usage on User Switch Applet + Add ability to customize system language list + Solaris NULL printf fixes + Convert from glade to gtkbuilder + Detect default keyboard layout better + Ignore executable subfolders of xinitrc.d + Don't reveal valid usernames when authenticating - Respin gdm-suse-xsession.patch - Remove gdm-keyboard-from-hal.patch: fixed upstream another way. - Disable gdm-greeter-greater-ui.patch: it needs to be rebased. - Update gdm-default-wm.patch to apply without fuzz. - Add gdm-add-missing-locale.patch. Patch taken from upstream and can be removed with the next version update * Thu Dec 24 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add hal-devel BuildRequires to fix build. * Tue Dec 22 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to version 2.29.4: + Remove deprecated function g_mapped_file_free + Fix option widgets to work better with orca + Make --with-custom-conf work + Don't hard code path to policykit agent + Don't backup xkb configuration before login - Update gdm-helper-directory.patch: some part is now fixed upstream, and we also need to set the right path for the polkit-gnome agent. - Pass --with-polkit-gnome-directory to configure. - Update gdm-selinux.patch to apply without fuzz. * Thu Dec 03 2009 email@example.com - Update to version 2.29.1: + A new desktop extension is now supported in GDM session desktop files (normally found in /usr/share/xsessions). Setting the X-GDM_BypassXsession key to true (X-GDM_BypassXsession=true) will cause the Xsession script to not be used to launch the session. This can be useful if you want to create a "failsafe" xterm session. + Fix makedist problem. - Changes from version 2.29.0: + Now GDM supports Include, Exclude, and IncludeAll configuration options to allow the ability to configure which users are displayed in the FaceBrowser. + Now GDM supports better debugging. Users can set the debug/Enable configuration option to turn on GDM debugging. + The directory where GDM screenshots are placed has been moved to its own directory: /var/run/gdm/greeter/GDM-Screenshot.png. The screenshot directory can now be specified at build time via the --with-screenshot-dir configure argument. + Many simple-greeter Face Browser usability improvements. + The simple-greeter Face Browser tree view search entry is now obscured to help prevent accidental display of passwords. + Shutdown and reboot functions are moved to a menu in the simple-greeter panel instead of being presented as buttons. The shutdown menu is better positioned on multi-monitor displays. + The simple-greeter panel notification area has been improved and now honors the GConf setting for /apps/notification_area_applet/prefs/padding. + The entry field in the simple-greeter now has accessibility labels so it will work better with accessibility programs. + The clock in the simple-greeter panel no longer shows the date, making the screen look a little cleaner. The date is moved to the clock tooltip so it is still available. + The simple-greeter now uses gethostname instead of g_get_host_name since it is more reliable when the hostname changes at runtime. + The user switch applet now honors disable_lock_screen. The option to lock screen is now not shown if disable_lock_screen is set. + The /var/run/gdm directory is better locked down. + GDM no longer crashes on bad UTF-8 in the /etc/passwd file. + When the worker dies, the auth-failed signal is no longer sent. This prevents a crash that happens when switching run-levels when the login screen is displayed. + Ensure that the length of sockaddr structure is set to the correct length for IPv4 or IPv6. This makes GDM work better on some operating systems that are picky about the length being exact. + String and documentation improvements. - Changes from version 2.28.1: + GDM will now avoid calling XAddHosts for remote connections. Refer to bgo#598142 for more information. + Now GDM uses DeviceKit-power instead of gnome-power-manager for Suspend support. + Now the at-spi-registryd-wrapper.desktop GDM autostart file will run at-spi-registryd directly instead of calling at-spi-registryd-wrapper. + Fix to the visibility check for the "Other" button which corrects some situations where the button would not appear when it was supposed to. + Now the GDM daemon will make the /var/log/gdm directory if it does not exist. + Fixes to avoid autologin failure when a NULL username is passed in. + Restore CTYPE when canonicalizing codesets. + Several fixes to avoid warnings. - Change default permissions of /var/run/gdm from 755 to 751 (upstream moved to 711). - Rebase gdm-helper-directory.patch to apply without fuzz, and add a fix from upstream to really use the right at-spi-registryd directory. - Rebase gdm-greeter-greater-ui.patch. - Rebase gdm-save-panel-space-on-low-resolutions.patch, and also tweak it a bit because the size of the clock label has been reduced. - Drop gdm-build-fixes.patch: fixed upstream. - Drop gdm-devkit-power.patch: fixed upstream. - Drop gdm-keyboard-from-sysconfig.patch: this is needed for openSUSE <= 11.1, but DeviceKit-power is now required by gdm and won't work on such versions of openSUSE. * Tue Oct 20 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add gdm-look-at-runlevel.patch to work around issue where gdm blocks the restart/shutdown process because of a race there. Should fix bnc#540482. - Version the Provides/Obsoletes to fix a rpmlint warning. - Reorder packageand() arguments for the branding supplements to fix rpmlint warning. * Fri Oct 02 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add gdm-devkit-power.patch: gdm was using a dbus API which doesn't exist anymore, and the right way to handle this is to use DeviceKit-power. - Add DeviceKit-power-devel BuildRequires for the patch. - Add gdm-polkit-gnome-path.patch to use the correct path for the polkit agent. - Rebase gdm-greeter-greater-ui.patch. Fix bnc#533597. * Fri Oct 02 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Make sure to package /var/cache/gdm: without it, gdm doesn't use the configured language/layout for the user. * Thu Oct 01 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add gdm-autologin-once.patch: we don't want to autologin again after a logout. Fix bnc#532090. * Mon Sep 28 2009 email@example.com - Update to version 2.28.0: + GDM supports the ability to specify the automatic/timed login user via a script via the same interface that the old GDM supported. + The user's dmrc and face image files are stored in /var/cache/gdm, so that the login process does not need to access the user's $HOME directory before authentication. Refer to bgo#565151. + Fix the login GUI options widget so the language/session/layout choices are not reset after a failed login. + Fix language dialog so it does not crash if the user click's the "OK" button when no language is selected. + Fix to ensure that the login dialog regains focus after the language or layout dialogs are used. + The language dialog has improved logic to sort the language names more correctly. + Make sure to check error variable is not NULL before referencing it in the gdm-user-manager code. + Make sure to not print NULL strings since this causes crashes on some platforms. + Improve documentation. - Add gdm-build-fixes.patch to fix build. * Mon Sep 28 2009 email@example.com - Add gdm-xauthlocalhostname.patch: fix non-working user session when the hostname changes during login.

Today is Wednesday, Feb. 6, the 37th day of 2013. There are 328 days left in the year.
Today's highlight:
On Feb. 6, 1788, Massachusetts became the sixth state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.
On this date:
In 1778, the United States won official recognition from France with the signing of a Treaty of Alliance in Paris.
In 1899, a peace treaty between the United States and Spain was ratified by the U.S. Senate.
In 1911, Ronald Wilson Reagan, the 40th president of the United States, was born in Tampico, Ill.
In 1922, Cardinal Archille Ratti was elected pope; he took the name Pius XI.
In 1933, the 20th Amendment to the Constitution, the so-called "lame duck" amendment, was proclaimed in effect by Secretary of State Henry Stimson.
In 1943, a Los Angeles jury acquitted actor Errol Flynn of three counts of statutory rape.
In 1952, Britain's King George VI died at Sandringham House in Norfolk, England; he was succeeded as monarch by his daughter, who became Queen Elizabeth II.
In 1959, the United States successfully test-fired for the first time a Titan intercontinental ballistic missile from Cape Canaveral.
In 1973, Dixy Lee Ray was appointed by President Richard Nixon to be the first woman to head the Atomic Energy Commission.
In 1992, 16 people were killed when a C-130 military transport plane crashed in Evansville, Ind.
In 1993, tennis Hall-of-Famer and human rights advocate Arthur Ashe died in New York at age 49.
In 1998, President Bill Clinton signed a bill changing the name of Washington National Airport to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Pop music star Falco, who'd had a 1986 hit with "Rock Me Amadeus," died in a traffic accident in the Dominican Republic; he was 40.
Ten years ago: Edging closer to war, President George W. Bush declared "the game is over" for Saddam Hussein and urged skeptical allies to join in disarming Iraq. ABC's "20/20" aired a British documentary, "Living With Michael Jackson," in which the King of Pop revealed he sometimes let children sleep in his bed.
Five years ago: At least 57 deaths were reported after two days of tornadoes that plowed across Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama. The White House defended the use of the interrogation technique known as waterboarding, saying it was legal — not torture as critics argued — and had saved American lives. The Phoenix Suns acquired Shaquille O'Neal in a stunning blockbuster deal that sent four-time All-Star Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to the Miami Heat.
One year ago: The U.S. closed its embassy in Syria and Britain recalled its ambassador to Damascus in a new Western push to get President Bashar Assad to leave power and halt the murderous grind in Syria. Jeremy Lin scored a career-high 28 points in his first career start as the New York Knicks beat the Utah Jazz 99-88.

The French are revolting. The Greeks, too. And it's about time.
Both countries held elections Sunday that were in effect referendums on the current European economic strategy, and in both countries voters turned two thumbs down. It's far from clear how soon the votes will lead to changes in actual policy, but time is clearly running out for the strategy of recovery through austerity — and that's a good thing.
Needless to say, that's not what you heard from the usual suspects in the run-up to the elections. It was actually kind of funny to see the apostles of orthodoxy trying to portray the cautious, mild-mannered François Hollande as a figure of menace. He is "rather dangerous," declared The Economist, which observed that he "genuinely believes in the need to create a fairer society." Quelle horreur!
What is true is that Mr. Hollande's victory means the end of "Merkozy," the Franco-German axis that has enforced the austerity regime of the past two years. This would be a "dangerous" development if that strategy were working, or even had a reasonable chance of working. But it isn't and doesn't; it's time to move on. Europe's voters, it turns out, are wiser than the Continent's best and brightest.
What's wrong with the prescription of spending cuts as the remedy for Europe's ills? One answer is that the confidence fairy doesn't exist — that is, claims that slashing government spending would somehow encourage consumers and businesses to spend more have been overwhelmingly refuted by the experience of the past two years. So spending cuts in a depressed economy just make the depression deeper.

Washington DC (UPI) May 04, 2013
Empty space. In discussions of things astronomical, the term pops up so often it's gone beyond cliche.
"A voyage into empty space." "Across the vastness of empty space." Yet in point of fact, space is never empty, neither between the most distant galaxies nor in the space above our heads here on earth.
Outer space is often described as a perfect vacuum -- which would certainly meet the definition of empty -- but it's not; there are always a few hydrogen atoms floating around.
Closer to home, it's not atoms that float around the Earth -- well, they're there, of course -- it's matter much more mundane, and man-made: space debris, or to put it more plainly, space junk.
There's a veritable floating junkyard of used-up rocket stages, de-commissioned satellites, and a mass of orbital debris in sizes down to fractions of an inch, the result of orbiting objects colliding and disintegrating.
NASA has tracked nearly 21,000 pieces of orbital debris larger than 4 inches, and estimates there are 500,000 pieces in sizes of at least a half-inch and 100 million pieces of smaller size.
The principle sources of the larger pieces are explosions and collisions of satellites, the space agency says.
This was highlighted last week when NASA released a report describing how its Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope dodged an orbiting bullet in the form of a disused Cold War-era spy satellite.
A NASA system that tracks space debris predicted the Fermi telescope would come dangerously close to Cosmos 1805, a Russian spy satellite launched in 1986 that, although long de-commissioned, was still speeding around the Earth at 15,000 mph.
In a desperate move, the Fermi team used the telescope's on-board thrusters -- intended only to guide it downward into the atmosphere to burn up at the end of its operational life -- to move out of the way of the Russian satellite's path.
Controllers fired the thrusters for just a second, moving Fermi sufficiently for it and the Russian satellite to miss each other by 6 miles.
But this was just one incident involving just one piece of space junk; there are bound to be more in the future.
That was borne out in another report last week of an object punching a small hole in a solar panel of the International Space Station.
Canadian astronaut and Expedition 35 Commander Chris Hadfield photographed a small but very visible "bullet" hole, which he put down to a small meteoroid.
"Bullet hole -- a small stone from the universe went through our solar array. Glad it missed the hull," Hadfield wrote in his Twitter blog.
But some experts said they believed the hole was probably caused by a random piece of space junk.
"It's unlikely this was caused by a meteor, more likely a piece of man-made space debris in low Earth orbit," said Jim Scotti, a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory.
A near-miss by a satellite and a small hole in a solar panel might seem minor affairs, but larger, more destructive events are bound to happen -- and in fact already have.
In 2009 two communications satellites, the U.S. Iridium 33 and the Russian Kosmos-2251, collided over Siberia at a speed of more than 26,000 mph.
The collision destroyed both satellites and added yet more orbiting debris to Earth's halo of space junk.
As manned missions move forward in the plans of space agencies of a number of countries, there should be considerable concern over the possible consequences of our leaving so much litter in our own astronomical back yard.
Empty space, indeed. Time to set up garbage collection.

Answers to 5 Job Application Worries
October 1, 2013
5 Job Search Elements Not to Stress Over
By Heather Huhman, Glassdoor.com
During the job application process, there are so many little things to keep track of that it's easy to become stressed. Do you write a handwritten note or send an email? How soon after submitting your job application should you follow-up? It would be easier if these questions had black and white answers, but the truth is they're in the gray area. And let's face it; the gray area can be a bit overwhelming.
Here are five job application elements you don't have to be stressed about:
1. What if there's one qualification I don't meet in the job description?
Job descriptions often list very specific requirements to weed out unqualified candidates. If you're missing one or two of these qualifications, but you still believe you could do the job, don't get stressed. Use your
cover letter
to explain why you think you're the right person for the job. Focus on the skills and experience you do have – and showcase those using accomplishment stories.
2. Should I include an objective in my resume?
In the past, the answer to this question would have been, "yes." But now, an objective statement in your resume has become obsolete. They don't demonstrate how you can help the company at all, and they take up valuable space. When you submit your job application, the hiring manager knows you want the job, so you don't need to write it out in your resume. Fill the space with your experiences instead.
3. What if I can't find the name of the hiring manager?
If you can't find the name of the hiring manager, do not give up right away. There are plenty of methods you can use to find it first. You can use Google, social media, the company website, and more. If after searching, you still truly can't find the person's name, use a gender-neutral salutation such as, "Dear Hiring Manager."
4. When should I follow-up after submitting my job application?
When you first submit your job application, include your plans to follow-up in your cover letter. It's best to wait about one week before sending your first follow-up email. Use this email to remind the hiring manager about your qualifications for the job and express interest in an interview. Keep it short and sweet. After that first follow-up, you can follow-up again every 7-10 days up to two times (or three total follow-ups).
5. Should I write a handwritten note or an email?
After every
job interview
, it is essential to send a
thank you note
. It shows you follow through and that you really care about the job. As for whether it has to be handwritten, a lot of people will say a handwritten note is more personal, but nearly 90 percent of hiring managers are perfectly happy with an email note. In fact, half of those hiring managers actually prefer an email note. Just be sure to personalize the note. Remind your interviewer who you are, how much you want the job, and why you're the best fit.
The job application process is not as complicated as we make it out to be. Job seekers get too stressed over the little details, so it's important to make a decision and stick with it. If you don't land this job, there are lots more out there.

I think this is not the best way to get more help, you will just make matters worse.
You seem to not want to put any effort in researching on how to go from where you are.
You've been given some hints but it seems that it is also too much effort to pursuit these.
All these points make it appear that you are not legit but want a quick and easy solution spoonfed to you.
If you have no further clue tell your buddy that the WEP encryption isn't the best one to use and that you can't check any further before learning a lot more.

I've created a series of CSS queries for different viewports, but I guess I'm not getting the results I want.
On the iPad tablet device in landscape mode the site looks pretty good. Not so great in Portrait. I could use some pointers on how to fix that.
The Android in landscape mode not so hot. The menu flows underneath the first menu items, so I'm not sure how to fix that issue, plus a slight gap on the right of the site. Ditto for portrait view.
On the iPhone in landscape mode, it looks okay. The menu still flows underneath the first main menu item like the Android does and the 'Announcements' on the bottom needs some space between the 'Announcements' heading and the menu links. In Portrait it looks pretty good with the exception of the main menu item flowing underneath the first menu item.
I thought that if I modified the font-size to be 70% that would've fixed the problem and the padding around the main menu items, but I guess not.
Any pointers?
I looked at the page on a full-sized monitor, then started pulling the screen width narrower to see how the "responsive" feature responded...
But all I saw were big alterations in the layout at certain widths (from monitor to tablet width, and then from tablet to large phone width)
If you stick with this partial method, you will miss out on most of the advantage of a completely responsive site. For one thing, the partial method won't work well on all devices (which I guess you are already noticing). Also you may find yourself having to re-build the site in a couple of years when some other popular device comes out in a new screen width.
Here is a page that is fully responsive: http://www.easydigging.com/Garden_Tool/Italian_Grape_Hoe.html view it on a big monitor, then grab the right edge if the screen and slowly shrink the screen width. Notice how the pictures shrink and expand and restack themselves to always look acceptable. The text size stays consistent, but the line length changes. There are big alterations at tablet size, iphone size, and at small phone size - but there is also continous resizing of images and text BETWEEN those jumps. This means that the page does not have to be rebuilt later when some new width device is introduced.
This page was built with Twitter Bootstrap. It handles all the responsive stuff. The web designer just needs to stack the content so that it rearranges itself in an attractive manner.
So to be brief, should developers keep with fluid layouts from now on? It seems quite a hassle to take a fixed width design and convert it to a fluid layout for mobile devices, wouldn't you think?
From what I see, the answers are Yes and Yes
Once upon a time, we could make one design that fit a laptop screen and let that work for the bigger monitors too. Those days are over. The range of device sizes is now too broad for that approach. So yes, we should do fluid layouts from now on.*there may be a couple of niches that will only be on certain size devices, like an ecommerce site selling phone apps...
And yes, it is a hassle to make a fixed width site into a fluid site. But we have to if we want to properly serve all those who view the site. Mostly it's a learning curve thing. Once you've converted a dozen pages or so to fluid design it gets easier :rolleyes:
This is very impressive indeed.Is there a tutorial somewhere that explains how to code this? I try to stay away from templates and wisywig software and would love to learn how to code this.
Hi benbob. Thank you for the compliment
I am re-building the old EasyDigging pages to be responsive. If you dig a little deeper into the site you will start seeing some pretty ugly old fixed width pages
The responsive pages are built with Twitter Bootstrap, which has already figured out all the basic CSS to make it responsive. Twitter Bootstrap (TB) has some tutorial pages at their site, which I definitely made use of. The rest I taught myself, with occasional help from the good folks here at SitePoint Forums.
Here are some tips I learned...
These were probably the most important rules. The other technique is this:
After every major addition or edit grab the right edge of the screen and narrow the width through the full range.a) You will see that each "cake layer" gets narrower and taller. (if there is text in the layer, if there are only images then layer will get shorter)b) At the different device widths you marked on your monitor (PCs&laptops / Tablets / Big-phones / Small-phones) you will see noticeable jumps in the layout.c) Tablet views can get might skinny. You may need to set a few "tablet only" CSS rulesd) Phone views turn any columns inside your "cake layer" into a new set of cake layers. If a layer has a right, middle, and left column then on a phone it will display all the right content on top, then all the middle content below that, and finally all the left content. So make sure you put them in a logical order when building your initial wide-screen layers...e) frustration can be minimized by using Text Only layers and Images Only layers. This is because text and images behave in opposite ways as the screen width narrows (text gets taller, images get shorter)
Twitter Bootstrap is free. It's easy to use. I suggest just downloading it and playing with it. Experiment with re-creating one of your old fixed width pages. I mostly just cut-n-paste text from my old fixed pages into my new responsive pages. Though I do have to spend a little time using a simple photo editor program to crop the old photos into squares or equal rectangles
In The CSS3 Anthology, beginning on pg. 366, it does give some great pointers on how to calculate fluid widths and how to create responsive design layouts with percentages. We can't be perfect for every device, but it does explain how we can make sites work with different device widths flexibly (if that is even a word). I'm kicking myself because I've had this book for about a year and forgot that this information is covered!
Time to brush up on my reading once more!

Panelists will include John Denise, president of Advanced Automation Consulting (AAC), an information-technology-services company, and George Fletcher, executive director of New Carolina, South Carolina's Council on Competitiveness. Garry Powers, director of economic development initiatives for Public Benefit Corp., will moderate.
Denise will discuss how AAC, a small business that graduated from the USC Incubator and SC LAUNCH, has succeeded in a struggling economy. Fletcher will detail the larger role that South Carolina businesses are planning in New Carolina's cluster initiatives, particularly in the nuclear industry, while Powers will discuss the need for greater emphasis on home-grown firms in South Carolina.
The Economic Outlook Conference is the state's premier economic event, attracting nearly 300 business leaders from around the state each year.
The EOC also will feature economic forecasts for the state and nation by Moore School research economists Dr. Doug Woodward and Dr. Joey Von Nessen and a keynote address titled "Job Creation and the Great Recession," by Dr. Zoltan Acs, a leading scholar on job creation and the chief economist at the U.S. Small Business Administration. Acs is university professor and director of the Center for Entrepreneurship and Public Policy at George Mason University.
Registration is $60 and includes a networking hour from noon – 1 p.m. with heavy hors d'oeuvres.
