REDLANDS - Esri could expand its campus in the coming weeks if plans for a proposed 77,611-square foot office building is approved by the city's Planning Commission.
The building would house 150 support services and product development employees and be built west of New York Street and adjacent to the already existing "MA" and N" buildings on the Esri campus.
Plans are for the three-story building to be constructed using architectural features and materials that are consistent with its neighbors.
Michael Stephens, project manager of the DLR Group, the architectural firm behind the project, presented the City Council a slideshow presentation on the proposed project during its meeting Tuesday night.
The presentation was intended only to solicit questions and receive feedback from the council about any aspects of the project.
No action was required by the council, as the Planning Commission will make a ruling as to the next step.
The presentation was part of the City Council adopted policy in 2007 that requires significant projects make a presentation to councilmembers as part of the entitlement process.
The requirement is a result of policies adopted by both the City Council and Planning Commission in an effort to provide developers of significant projects a formal avenue to approach either or both parties about their projects, and avoid violations of the Ralph M. Brown Act, the city said.
Once approved, the project will begin construction in mid- to late-March, Stephens said.
Developers will present an update to requested information asked of the Planning Commission on Tuesday, he added.
"We're looking forward to starting this construction project," said Don Berry, director of operations at Esri. "It will provide much needed office space to accommodate our growing teams."
Plans to develop the project had been in the works for several months.
Esri conducted interviews with several architectural firms to handle the project as late as August, before DLR was picked, said Stephens, who works out of the company's Riverside office.
A look at project designs can be found on the city's website at www.cityofredlands.org.

|Forums: Index → Narutopedia Discussion → Kakashi's Possible Death
If you have been keeping up with the most recent Manga Chapters of Naruto (I haven't but I read summaries on Leaf Ninja), then you will know that in the last two chapters all evidence points to the fact that Kakashi has indeed died from using the Mangekyou Sharingan to protect Akimichi Chouji from Asura Pain's Missile. As much as it saddens me to even consider the possibility of Kakashi's death, I will accept it (There is actually no words to describe how freaked out I was at the information, this was bigger than Dumbledore's death for me). Now, I have created this topic not necessarily to inform user's of this fact but to debate how we should handle the information. First thing I believe we should do is at the very least update [Plot of Naruto: Shippūden] to include the information from Chapters 425 and 426. Second thing I think we should do is consider editing Kakashi Hatake and stating he is deceased. Now the reason I didn't do this myself is a) I rarely add information to Wiki Articles (mostly because I get most of my information from Wiki Articles *laughs Sheepishly*) and therefore b) I don't really trust the way I would write articles (despite the fact I write pretty well on the internet.) but the most important reason is c) it still isn't fully confirmed that Kakashi is dead. All evidence points to the idea that he is but it's possible he's hallucinating or he is going to "come back to life" or something. Oh... I just noticed someone has already edited that he is possibly deceased. Still my point stands and until it is confirmed that Kakashi is alive (note I say Alive, remember to hope for the best but prepare for the worst.) this can be the topic where we debate the latest evidence for and against his death.
Signed, SilverSword (soon to be known as Bardic Fire) SilverSword
- There was plenty of discussion on Kakashi's talkpage on this subject, until it is confirmed that he is dead, he will not be marked deceased. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither are wiki. The apocalypse isn't going to befall us if we wait a few more chapters to confirm that he is actually afact dead. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Dec 2, 2008 @ 17:28 (UTC)
good points ALL around dont say deceased till your sure User:DracoYahni
kakashi is NOT dead yet and do not mark him as deceased cause they still have not revealed his death/incapacitation yet in the manga. why did i come outta nowhere with this because people keep marking him deceased so please stop marking him dead ok.(just wanted to point this out to Dantman so he knows people are still doing this injustice) (DracoYahni 16:32, 12 December 2008 (UTC))DracoYahni
You're all right if you say Kakashi isn't dead yet. For all we know, he might wake up or be healed by Tsunade/Sakura.

As for why it is blank, the xserver is supposedly smart enough to figure out which video card driver, proper resolution, keyboard, etc on its own without any user intervention. This means you are stuck with whatever resolution the developers thought you might like.
In my case my hardware is old enough that this process doesn't work and I have to have a xorg.conf with the 2 resolutions that my monitor supports. I just change my xorg.conf and restart x when I need to change resolutions. Switching inside X is a good way to freeze my PC.
You might be able to fix it by adding something like the following into your xorg.conf
Section "Screen"

Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"

SubSection "Display"
Depth 24

Fox's Megyn Kendall falsely suggested that those briefed on NSA warrantless spying program "don't see any problem" with it
Research ››› ››› BEN ARMBRUSTER
On The Big Story, Fox News' Megyn Kendall reported that, during a speech, Sen. Patrick Leahy criticized the National Security Agency's warrantless domestic eavesdropping program, even though, she later claimed, he "doesn't know that much about" it. She later falsely suggested that "those who have been briefed on the program don't see any problem" with it. In fact, several members of the House and Senate committees have criticized the program.
On the December 13 edition of Fox News' The Big Story, Fox News general assignment reporter Megyn Kendall reported that, during a December 13 speech at the Georgetown University Law Center, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) criticized the National Security Agency's (NSA) warrantless domestic eavesdropping program, even though, she later claimed, he "doesn't know that much about" it because, she suggested, "he is not ... one of the lawmakers who's been briefed in detail on the program." Without offering a direct rebuttal quote from a Bush administration official, Kendall claimed that the administration "would say he [Leahy] doesn't know what he's talking about," because, she added, falsely, "those who have been briefed on the program don't see any problem" with it. In fact, while the full House and Senate intelligence committees were reportedly briefed on the program, several members of those committees have criticized it, and, as recently as December 1, Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA), who is currently the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, noted that the program might violate the law.
In addition, Kendall did not mention that the lack of knowledge of the warrantless wiretapping program among legislators might be attributable to the Bush administration's stonewalling. The Los Angeles Times noted on February 7, (purchase required) that, during Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on the NSA spy program with Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, Leahy criticized Gonzales and the Bush administration for not providing adequate information on the program to Congress:
Several Democrats argued that if the use-of-force resolution could be read to authorize warrantless electronic surveillance, it could open the way to warrantless physical searches of homes, people or property.
"If the president has that authority, does he also have the authority to wiretap Americans' domestic calls and e-mails under this authority if he feels it involves Al Qaeda activity?" asked Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.).
"I've said that that presents a different legal question, a possibly tough constitutional question," Gonzales replied. "And I am not comfortable, just off the cuff, talking about whether or not such activity would, in fact, be constitutional."
Leahy pressed him: "Are you doing that?"
"I can't give you assurances," Gonzales said. "That is not what the president has authorized for this program."
Leahy noted that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act had been amended repeatedly since 2001 at the administration's request.
"We have given you five amendments under FISA because you requested them. But you never came to us with this," Leahy said. "At least we have a press that tells us what you are doing, because you are not telling us."
Additionally, The New York Times reported (subscription required) that, during the hearings, Leahy told Gonzales: ''Of course, I'm sorry, Mr. Attorney General, I forgot you can't answer any questions that might be relevant to [the NSA eavesdropping program].''
The New York Times also noted that both the House and Senate intelligence committees were briefed on the NSA program by the Bush administration on May 17. Contrary to Kendall's assertion that the administration "would say" that "those who have been briefed on the program don't see any problem" with it, in an article on the May 23 Senate Select Intelligence Committee vote on whether to confirm Gen. Michael V. Hayden as CIA director, The Washington Post reported that Democratic committee members Evan Bayh (IN), Russell Feingold (WI), and Ron Wyden (OR) voted against Hayden because they "objected mainly to what they called the administration's failure to justify adequately the National Security Agency's warrantless wiretaps of Americans' international calls," as "Hayden headed the NSA when the program was launched, soon after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks."
Further, as recently as December 1, in a speech given to the American Bar Association Standing Committee on Law and National Security, Harman -- who, as ranking member of her committee would likely have received at least as much, if not more, information on the program as Bayh, Feingold, and Wyden -- questioned the legality and implementation of Bush's domestic eavesdropping program:
HARMAN: Missed opportunity number two: the NSA domestic surveillance program. It's been almost a year since that program was first revealed. When the program was established, the administration provided what I would call "drive-by Power Point presentations" for the so-called "Gang of Eight" in Congress. I became a member of that Gang of Eight in early 2003 as ranking member on intelligence and so, I participated in those presentations after the first year of the program. Those of us in the room, usually the Situation Room in the White House, had no opportunity to consult with our staff, outside lawyers or even keep our own notes. After the president was forced to acknowledge the program's existence, I fought to get the full intelligence committees briefed. The president finally agreed because the Senate Intelligence Committee threatened to hold up General Mike Hayden's nomination to be director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Without that stick, I'm not sure they ever would have given in.
Let me be clear: I want the intelligence community to intercept the communications of terrorists, but it is not exempt from following the law and the Constitution. As one of the few people outside the White House and the NSA briefed on into this program, I assure you that the program can be conducted pursuant of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. To this day, the administration has refused to provide a copy of the authorization the president signed to allow the NSA to conduct the program, nor have they provided that legal analysis except for post-hoc justifications that justified the president's decision to start the program.
On August 17, a federal judge ruled the warrantless NSA eavesdropping program unconstitutional
After reporting Leahy's criticism of the warrantless domestic spy program, Kendall noted that "[s]ome conservatives were quick to react," quoting Janet LaRue from Concerned Women for America as saying that Leahy's speech laid a "cracked foundation [to] push[] the left's political agenda through Congress. What a joke."
From the December 13 edition of Fox News' The Big Story with John Gibson:
GIBSON: Now, today's other big security story: The start of the new Democratic-controlled Congress could mean the end of President Bush's NSA surveillance program. As the soon-to-be chair of our Senate Judiciary Committee says, he plans to consider a way to pull back the program and put oversight on it. Is this really a good way to go when it comes to our national security? Fox's Megyn Kendall joins us live from Washington with that story. Hi, Megyn.
KENDALL: Hey there, John. Yeah, Senator Patrick Leahy explained today, saying that this election in his view was an intervention by the American people who, he believes, want change on everything from the war in Iraq to judicial nominees to the warrantless surveillance program.
Now, bills to authorize the wiretap program, which targets the communications of suspected terrorists, stalled in the last Congress. Leahy is not one of the lawmakers briefed on the program in detail but nonetheless says it is an erosion of privacy, and he says the White House must be held accountable.
LEAHY [video clip]: -- has refused to answer the questions of either Republicans or Democrats and has acted outside the law to wiretap Americans without warrants -- outside the law.
KENDALL: Leahy says he may call Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in to testify again about the program and says if he doesn't get the answers he wants, he will subpoena them. Some conservatives were quick to react, saying: "Leahy spent 99 percent of his speech bashing the president in order to lay a cracked foundation for pushing the left's political agenda through Congress. What a joke."
GIBSON: Megyn, does Leahy sound as though listening to phone calls is permissible in any circumstances?
KENDALL: He didn't get specific. All he did in referencing the warrantless wiretap program was to say that it's an erosion of privacy, that the administration has been given a pass on it for far too long, and that now that he's in charge of this committee, he wants to take another hard look at that program to dial back what he considers -- I mean, he said it outright -- an illegal program.
GIBSON: But would he be willing to change the warrant requirements so they're not as evidently onerous as they are at the moment?
KENDALL: He just didn't get that specific, John, and that could be because he is not, as I pointed out in the report, one of the lawmakers who's been briefed in detail on the program, which is, you know, arguably part of the problem. He [Leahy] doesn't know that much about it. So one might query why he's this agitated over it.
His statements, as he said today, were based on reports he's seen in the press, i.e., The New York Times. So, he's sort of -- he would say he's fighting with one hand behind his back; the administration would say he doesn't know what he's talking about because those who have been briefed on the program don't see any problem. John.
GIBSON: Megyn Kendall in Washington. Megyn, thank you.
KENDALL: You bet.

Chisenhall, Morgan to open 2014 season with Indians
(GOODYEAR, Ariz.) – The Cleveland Indians are continuing to finalize their Opening Day roster in preparation for the 2014 season and on Monday more decisions were announced.
Michael Bourn will open the season on the 15-day DL, due to hamstring tightness. Originally Bourn had said he'd be ready for Opening Day March 31 in Oakland, but after discussions with manager Terry Francona and the training staff, they felt it was best to make sure he is back to 100 percent before playing.
Bourn's DL situation opened the door for outfielder Nyjer Morgan who was told he will make the big league club. Morgan, 33, was in camp as a non-roster invitee and had a terrific spring both offensively and defensively.
Lonnie Chisenhall was told he will be on the big league roster when camp breaks on Thursday, March 27. It is still unclear, however, who will be the everyday third baseman between Chisenhall and Carlos Santana.
On top of those decisions impacting the 25-man big league roster, the Tribe also reduced its spring roster. The Indians optioned Trevor Bauer and C.C. Lee to Triple-A Columbus, while reassigning Bryan LaHair, David Cooper and Luke Carlin to Minor League camp.
The only decisions left for the Indians involve pitching spots. The final spot in the rotation is down to Josh Tomlin and Carlos Carrasco, while the final spot or two is open in the bullpen. Depending on who wins the final spot in the rotation could impact how many bullpen spots are in fact open. Other guys in the mix for bullpen spots appear to be Blake Wood and Scott Atchison.

Battle Over World Trade Center Cross Goes to Court
An atheist group is suing to prevent the World Trade Center Cross from being put on display at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
The 17 foot steel crossbeam was found in the wreckage at Ground Zero in the days after the September 11 attacks. For many, the cross was a symbol of hope during a time of tragedy.
Now it's part of the plans for the museum at the site, but the group American Atheists says that would be a violation of the First Amendment. It argues the cross would represent the promotion of a specific religion on government land.
But others say the cross is part of history and should be included in the museum.
Today, the Second Court of Appeals will hear arguments over the lawsuit.

NWHM Accomplishments
During its sixteen years as an organization, NWHM has worked hard toward obtaining a permanent museum site in the nation's capital:
- Since 1997, NWHM has evaluated 43 possible building sites—some privately owned, some federal buildings. In 2000, legislation was introduced in Congress directing the General Services Administration (GSA) to negotiate with NWHM for a long-term lease on the Old Post Office Pavilion Annex, a 100,000 sq. ft. glass-enclosed building at 12th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. The legislation passed the U. S. Senate twice on unanimous consent but stalled in the House of Representatives.
- In 2003, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed S. 1741, legislation directing GSA to lease the Pavilion Annex to the NWHM and referred the bill to the House of Representatives.
- On July 29, 2005, the U.S. Senate passed S.501, the National Women's History Museum Act of 2005, by unanimous consent.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
A dog and his owner are both happier when the four-legged one has learned to mind his manners. Even if your corgi seems incorrigible, trainer Terri Desnica can help. Desnica has been training canines for years, and she offers a seven-week basic obedience class at Hounds on the Hill, as well as a puppy kindergarten and advanced courses. With practice, your errant hound could become a well-mannered mutt in just a few weeks. Who knows? Maybe he can fetch a Best in Show award someday.
So you're at a bar, and a certain creepy someone is refusing to leave you alone unless you give him or her your phone number. What to do? Tell the heavy breather in question to call you at 303-575-1696 -- digits that just happen to dial up Denver's Rejection Hotline, a local service of the Web site www.rejectionhotline.com. Although the Hotline's recorded voice is briefly understanding ("I know this sucks, but don't be too devastated"), it's anything but in the long run, hinting that the person being dissed may be "short, fat, ugly, dumb," suffer from "bad breath" or "body odor," give off a "stalker vibe," or is about as much fun as "playing leapfrog with a unicorn." There's no better way to tell that certain unwanted someone to take a hike.
Carousing in LoDo got a whole lot easier -- or at least a bit more sensible -- last New Year's Eve, thanks to the soberRide program underwritten by AT&T Wireless. Folks who'd overdone the bubbly and lacked the means or foresight to book a room downtown for the night were provided free cab rides (up to $50 in value). From 8 p.m. to 3 a.m., chariots awaited, available at cab stands or through a toll-free number. And New Year's revelers got home safely to sleep off their excesses in the comfort of their own beds. But come to think of it, wasn't the name a bit misleading?
Sometimes it seems like DIA doesn't want anyone to leave. Is there some kind of strange force field that sucks the juice from car batteries, flattens tires and disguises vehicles parked in the sprawling economy lots and distant car-parks, rendering their owners powerless to drive far, far away? Perhaps -- but it's no match for the good people at AMPCO System Parking, who scour the premises for infirm autos and offer gratis jump-starts, lock-out assistance, tire inflation and guidance for the hopelessly lost. Armed with a license-plate number, they can locate a car for the weary traveler who's just
plumb forgot where he parked it. AMPCO's attentive employees don't accept tips, so be sure to at least smile and wave as you pull out and motor on.
After over two million hours of air travel, the average American would pull out his or her hair. But Littleton resident E. Larry Beaumont didn't do that. Instead, he wrote a book to help other frequent fliers survive the perils of air travel unscathed. From pre-travel planning, check-in and boarding to flight and arrival, Beaumont takes travelers through the experience with the least amount of pain -- and loads of humor. Included with the advice are humorous stories and suggestions for making travel experiences as enjoyable as possible, often at the expense of others.
It's not easy finding something for nothing at the Cherry Creek Mall. Certainly there are deals to be had, but nothing, not even the free perfume samples, matches the value of the free air compressor behind the mall (near Chevy's). No doubt intended for cyclists passing by on the Cherry Creek Bike Path, the air compressor also beckons to four-wheelers with low tire pressure. So the next time some bohemian friend says, "The Cherry Creek Mall blows, dude," reply "Yes, it does -- for free."

Thumbsucking - Tried every method to stop but failed
My son not just suck his thumb but at times he even put his entire hand to mouth. Many times he even start chocking since he reaches his throat. I have no idea what to do in order him to stop this habit or should I just not bother on this. Guide me.

I wouldn't be concerned about your baby gagging when he puts his hand in his mouth unless it makes him throw up often and he's not getting enough nutrition. Babies typically don't do this often and they learn that putting the whole hand in the mouth will cause the gagging reflex.
Warm regards,

Thanks Kate,
He doesn't throw up.. from now I'm not going to get concerned about this. As said by you often he doesn't put his whole hand in mouth.

I would just leave it be, it is a comfort technique. He will grow out of it in due time.

Congress grills states over health insurance
A congressional committee questioned representatives from several states about the health insurance exchanges they were given federal money to create.
Greg Van Pelt is Governor John Kitzhaber's advisor on Cover Oregon. He said "While the launch of the ACA (Affordable Care Act) had been different than we hoped, over 300,000 individuals had enrolled in health insurance plans." Most of those people were automatically signed up through the Oregon Health Plan. 59,000 people have signed up through private insurance companies.
Van Pelt was asked whether Cover Oregon was financially viable and he said "The target is sustainable at the level we have enrolled and the projections going forward." But, he also said they would have to make cuts to expenses to match the revenue generated by each person signed up for insurance.
Oregon is the only state where people can't sign up for insurance online, so it must be done with the assistance of an insurance agent. Cover Oregon has not said whether the website will work. There have been suggestions by some that Oregon stop the work and convert to the national exchange. Some members of the committee called on other states to repay the federal dollars if they received money back from companies that botched the launch.

Hey try these guys out they I buy all my wireless cards and antennas from these guys. They are located in Miami Florida, I have an Alfa card and a bunch of Antennas from them and they all work great. hope this helps out.
www .antennaworld. com
greets all,
so I'm in the market for an (c)antenna upgrade = I am looking to purchase a new wifi antenna. I have multiple wifi cards, all with the ability to connect an external antenna via male RP-SMA connector, only 3 of the cards are really worth a darn tho. specifically 2x USB alfa cards (AWUS036nh - 2000mW, AWUS050NH - 500mW) and a dlink (DWL-G520 revB PCI). for an external antenna I am using the "super cantenna" from wireless garden inc. with a cheap retractable tripod (from walmart for $13) and up-until-now, my antenna setup has been rock solid, and great performer for me. the specs for it are as follows :
I figure I might as well go for a "bigger and better" antenna I've got $100 to sink into my purchase. my use case is as follows: I have a local coffee shop that lets me siphon internet, for being a loyal customer (well, actually the g/f is, I dont drink coffee), and for helping out with tech support issues every now and then. I live about 5-6 blocks from them, and get a decent signal now, but I just know I can get better... I think I just need to upgrade the antenna I have.Code:Super Cantenna Model SCB10X: Electrical Specifications Frequency: 2400-2500 MHz Gain: 12 dbi Beam Width: Approx. 30 degrees Impedance: 50 Ohm Max input: 50 Watts VSWR: <1.5:1 avg. Mechanical Specifications Length: 12" Material Base: Metal Lid: Plastic Connector: Integrated 36-inch RPSMA cable, RPTNC adapter Polarization: Linear
so I figured I'd come to ol' faithful = the remote-exploit forums, to see if one of u can make a suggestion for what to buy, and/or give your oppinion of your current setup?! I have looked long and wantonly at onryo's thread = ultra long range antennas - howto , but have come to the conclusion that it is just too much work, and requires too steady of a hand + patience to get it built (not to mention working properly) ... so I've decided that is out of the question... really any DIY project is out of question. I'd rather just buy one. boy, I do truly wish someone would manufacture that pwnbone of his, as I'd love to snatch something like that up in an instant!
I've checked into freenet antennas (which is outside of the US), gold wireless antennas, l-com - specifically this, this page talks about many different antenna's, etc. what about this one I keep seeing ALL over ebay?
only recently I decided to take a look at ebay, and WOW - there are sooo many antenna's its hard to separate the crap from the good when I just don't have much knowledge in the antenna selection department. for example, this one sounds very nice = "2.4GHz 16DBi Wifi Yagi Antenna RP-SMA and Moutning kit". some are USB based? whatever I get, I want to make sure that the parts of high-quality, will last long (even in exposure to the outdoor elements of the pacific NW = lots of rain), has minimal signal degradation, and hopefully has the approval of other remote-exploit forum-goers.
honestly, I'd like to hear what other remote-exploit forum-goers have in their setup, and if possible I'd like to be able to purchase something similar, as long as it's an upgrade from what I currently have with the potential of increasing my signal to my connection which is ~5-6 blocks away. ideally I'd love to get something along the lines of onryo's pwnbone!
quoting from the text underneath his image of the pwn bone on his site::
(onryo, hope u don't mind me linking to yr pic/site - if u desire I will take this part out ... I'm just sooo envious! )This is the "pwn bone" A 26dBi yagi. The PwnBone is 3 PCB Teflon stripline 20 dBi yagi antennas stacked at about 1/20th lambda and phased a little. I rescaled it for 2442 MHz from an existing classified design. No it is not curved. The wide angle lens sucks. Length is 1.6 meters. From 5.1 km line of sight I have a -52 dbi signal. Using a 2 watt amp to fry away any problems I may encounter. Have had up to 332 APs seen at once while pointed in one direction. Nice addition to my rouge AP.
so what'cha think? someone wanna offer me a suggestion, or point out a site for me to pick up something, nice n easy? purrty-please?
'see the fnords!'
Hey try these guys out they I buy all my wireless cards and antennas from these guys. They are located in Miami Florida, I have an Alfa card and a bunch of Antennas from them and they all work great. hope this helps out.

|Summary: GNOME su Library
Libgnomesu is a library for providing superuser privileges to GNOME applications. It supports sudo, consolehelper, PAM, and su.
* Fri Feb 24 2012 email@example.com - Add libgnomesu-suid_flags.patch: respect SUID_CFLAGS/SUID_LDFLAGS when building the suid binary gnomesu-pam-backend. - Set SUID_CFLAGS to -fPIE and SUID_LDFLAGS to -pie in %build. This fixes bnc#743139. * Sun Nov 13 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - add libtool as explicit BuildRequires to avoid implicit dependency from prjconf. * Tue Jul 19 2011 email@example.com - Add libgnomesu-no-gconf.patch: use GSettings instead of gconf to find the preferred terminal; this is needed for GNOME 3 integration. - Add libgnomesu-gtk3.patch: port to GTK+ 3. - Change gtk2-devel BuildRequires to gtk3-devel. - Remove now unneeded gconf2-devel BuildRequires. - Add gsettings-desktop-schemas Requires, since the use of GSettings require the schema to be installed. - Remove explicit Requires for glib2-devel and gtk2-devel in devel subpackage: if needed, they will automatically be added the pkgconfig() way. * Mon May 30 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add libgnomesu-check-setuid-retval.patch: really handle return value of the setuid() call, to avoid a root exploit if it fails because of rlimits. Fix bnc#695627 and CVE-2011-1946. * Thu May 05 2011 email@example.com - Use %{_libexecdir} instead of %{_prefix}/lib. - Do not use %run_permissions in %post of libgnomesu0 since there is no file with specific permissions there. Instead use the more specific %set_permissions in %post of the main package. - Note that the permissions PreReq and the %verifyscript were for the main package already. * Tue Feb 15 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add libgnomesu-use-pam_xauth.patch: with the pam backend, we should stop playing with xauth ourselves and let pam_xauth handle this. It turns out it's already configured to do so in gnomesu-pam.pamd, but we're hiding things to it. - Add libgnomesu-reorder-pam-init.patch: in the pam backend, we want to initialize everything in the right order, and we use the coreutils/su code as reference for this. * Wed Jan 26 2011 email@example.com - Update libgnomesu-modernize.patch: define an icon for the Continue button. It will only be shown if user configures the desktop to show icons for buttons. Fix bnc#639203. * Tue Aug 31 2010 email@example.com - Recommend instead of require lang package since it's not mandatory. * Sat Aug 07 2010 email@example.com - Update libgnomesu-modernize.patch to fix build with recent GTK+. * Thu Jun 03 2010 email@example.com - Add libgnomesu-no-manual-memory-cleaning.patch to fix some bad code that tries to remove passwords from memory the wrong way. GTK+ already does this for us. As a side-effect, this fixes bnc#351917. * Wed Apr 14 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Fixed translatability (bnc#582085). - Add libgnomesu-remove-prior-cookie.patch (bnc#477638) from SLE11 (email@example.com). * Sat Mar 13 2010 email@example.com - Modernize libgnomesu-modernize.patch not to use deprecated GTK symbols. * Wed Mar 10 2010 email@example.com - Upstream of libgnomesu is dead. Move translation to a separate LCN project and migrate from gnome-patch-translation to translation-update-upstream (bnc#562162#c2). * Thu Dec 03 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Rebase libgnomesu-bnc440970-safe-path.patch to apply without fuzz. * Mon Sep 28 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Use gnome-patch-translation for new strings added by patch. Part of bnc#541653. - Use spec-cleaner to clean the spec file. * Wed Jul 15 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add libgnomesu-bnc440970-safe-path.patch to fix bnc#440970: instead of resetting PATH to a default value that we can't get right, just remove the unsafe values. * Wed May 20 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Drop useless update-polish-patch.sh script. * Wed May 13 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Tag patches. - Remove AutoReqProv: it's default now. * Thu Apr 30 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Remove .la files. * Thu Mar 19 2009 email@example.com - Make gnomesu handle "gnomesu -- gnomesu -- ls". We used to end up with a leading "--" in a command we were spawning, which doesn't work. This is an update to libgnomesu-drop-libgnomeui.patch, which was wrong for this. Fix bnc#486644.

This is a very good answer given by Ajahn Jayasaro at a youth retreat recently.
He says that merely being a 'law-abiding citizen' and member of the mainstream society is not very satisfactory. He himself did not consider this as a good option when he was a young man, he was looking for something more than that as a purpose in life. People who appear 'normal' and well-behaved in the usual circumstances can behave in very unskillful and harmful ways in a different context, because their moral qualities are only superficial and have not been thoroughly developed. Examples from the 20th century show this clearly. Then he describes the modern research findings about the effect of meditation on the function and structure of the brain.

Chris Brown may be out of hit-and-run case
Listen to Chris Brown on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Chris Brown will NOT be prosecuted for the alleged hit-and-run in May ... at least that's the way the victim wants it, TMZ reports.
Brown was charged with the crime after leaving the scene of a minor rear-end collision without forking over identifying information - i.e., a California driver's license and insurance info.
TMZ has learned that learned Olga Gure-Kovalenko - the driver of the vehicle Chris hit - has no desire to have him prosecuted, so Chris' lawyer, Mark Geragos, has filed legal docs to have the criminal case dropped.
Olga's lawyer, Freddy Sayegh, tells TMZ, his client wants no money since there was no physical injury and only minor damage to her car. This is consistent with what Olga said on TMZ Live.
Here's the snag. TMZ has learned the L.A. City Attorney has not agreed to drop the case. They're all in court right now, and TMZ reports it's likely the City Attorney wants some time to think it over.
And, even if the City Attorney agrees to drop the hit-and-run case, Brown was also charged with driving without a valid California license, and the City Attorney could still move forward on that. Geragos just filed legal docs claiming Brown is a Virginia resident with a valid Virginia license so he hasn't violated any law.
And another, way more serious, loose string - the judge in the Rihanna beating case could still use the info to trigger a probation violation, which could land Brown in prison for up to 4 years.

The 1st-7th of August was this year's World Breastfeeding Week. We would love to know how this was celebrated around the world. Did your breastfeeding support group, health centre or friends do anything special to celebrate breastfeeding?
We have been hearing about mum's and health professional uniting to raise breastfeeding awareness and share the benefits of breastfeeding around the world including:
- A special video made by Unicef on dedicated breastfeeding rooms with the aim to raise China's breastfeeding rates.
- In Australia, the focus was on Peer Support Schemes - these are seen as key in aiding continued breastfeeding in the medium to long term. There have also been parties and an event called 'The Big Latch On' all to raise awareness of how super breastmilk is.
- There were breastfeeding 'big feeds' in the UK - as many breastfeeding mums as possible have been gathering to feed their babies together with the aim to normalise breastfeeding in public.
- In Cape Town awareness has been raised of a 'breastmilk bank' which gives the best possible start to premature babies. Breastfeeding mums are being encouraged to donate breastmilk if/when they are able to.
Please share how you celebrated World Breastfeeding Week here.
How important do you feel this week is? Did peer support benefit you in your breastfeeding journey?
We look forward to hearing your stories.

So this morning a doe was slowly walking down a trail and I knew soon enough she was going to catch my wind. Sure enough, the hunt was over... She bounced out to 80 yards and stood there blowing for 4-5 minutes. I waited to another 30-45 minutes and completely discouraged I climbed down from the stand and called it an early morning.
But was my hunt really over??? I get very discouraged when this happens and rarely do i give it much time after I get busted. It feels like they have just told every deer in the woods, don't come over here...
So my question: Does anyone out there have any luck after an incident like this? Where they really get busted? Do deer evidently start moving through again? Or is it just over?
Thanks in advance!!
