DeviceKit is a simple system service that a) can enumerate devices; b) emits signals when devices are added removed; c) provides a way to merge device information / quirks onto devices. It is designed to partially replace hal and overcome some of the design limitiations of hal. DeviceKit functionality is provided in the form of dbus services on the system bus.
Apart from DeviceKit itself, there is DeviceKit-disks, which is a system service to keep track of block devices. The functionality offered by DeviceKit-disks is a superset of what hal provides for block devices.
There is also DeviceKit-power, which takes over the power-management-related parts of hal and the more complex functionality of gnome-power-manager. As a consequence, gnome-power-manager itself becomes much simpler.
The new udev-extra module will provide udev rules that are needed to make the DeviceKit architecture work. Functionality that was provided via .fdi files in hal will eventually be moved to udev rules, and setting acls on devices will also be done here at some point.
DeviceKit-disks comes with a graphical frontend called palimpsest. Furthermore, there will be a nautilus extension to format disks.
- Name: David Zeuthen, Richard Hughes, Tomáš Bžatek
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 11
- Last updated: 2009-01-13
- Percentage of completion: 65%
DeviceKit, DeviceKit-disks, DeviceKit-power and gnome-disk-utility (i.e. palimpsest) packages have been built in rawhide.
gnome-power-manager 2.25.1 in rawhide uses DeviceKit-power instead of hal.
gvfs and gnome-mount have not yet been ported to DeviceKit-disks.
udev-extra has not been released and packaged yet. It is hosted on kernel.org.
The nautilus extension for disk formatting is being worked on here.
Detailed Description
David has written an extensive explanation of the DeviceKit architecture, and the motivation for rewriting hal. Read all about it here
There is a dedicated devkit-devel mailing list now.
Here are some screenshots of palimpsest in action:
Benefit to Fedora
Fedora gains a comprehensive graphical disk management tool which provides functionality that so far was almost exclusively available in the partitioning screen of anaconda. The tools integrate nicely into the desktop (by e.g. providing a "Format disk..." menuitem in the nautilus context menu where appropriate).
DeviceKit depends on bug fixes and enhancements in unreleased versions of a number of components, such as kernel, udev, mdadm, lvm. These will have to appear in rawhide first.
Also, in order to peacefully coexist with DeviceKit-disks, at a very minimum hal needs to talk to DeviceKit-disks about locking and mounting/unmounting. Medium term, hal functionality such as disk and power-management support will be turned off when all important users have been ported over to the equivalent DeviceKit api.
Core components that we want to have ported for F11 include gvfs, gnome-mount, nautilus and gnome-power-manager.
For completeness, here is a list of all packages in Fedora that depend on hal, libhal.so.1 or libhal-storage.so.1. Note that we don't expect to port most of these for F11.
- anaconda - will be ported when and if the installer team thinks that is a good idea
- bluez-gnome - only uses libhal to get the formfactor
- brasero - uses libhal to interact with drives
- cheese - uses libhal to find webcams
- concordance - only requires hal to install fdi files, should be fine
- conexusmm - uses libhal to find serial ports
- control-center - uses libhal in the sound capplet to find sound devices, will be solved by using the new sound capplet in gnome-media
- emelfm2 - uses libhal to find storage devices
- evolution - ipod plugin uses libhal to find ipod devices
- exo - uses libhal to find storage devices
- gdm - should be fine
- gimp - uses libhal to find input devices
- gnomad2 - uses libhal to find portable audio players
- gnome-device-manager - needs porting
- gnome-keyring - uses libhal to monitor removable storage devices
- gnome-mount - needs porting
- gnome-pilot - uses libhal to find usb devices
- gnome-power-manager - needs porting to DeviceKit-power
- gnome-utils - uses libhal to find floppy device
- gnome-vfs2 - needs porting
- gnome-volume-manager - uses libhal to handle volumes
- gparted - only requires hal to install fdi files, should be fine
- gstreamer-plugins-good - uses libhal to find audio devices
- gtkpod - uses libhal to find storage devices
- gvfs - needs porting
- gxine - uses libhal to find block devices
- hal-cups-utils - uses libhal to find printers
- halevt - needs porting
- hplip - requires hal to install fdi files, should be fine
- k3b - uses libhal to find cdrom devices
- kdebase3
- knetworkmanager
- kpowersave - should be ported to DeviceKit-power
- libfprint - installs a few fdi files, unused by any apps currently
- libipoddevice - uses libhal to find ipod devices
- libmtp - requires hal to install fdi files, should be fine
- libsynce - uses libhal to find pda devices
- nautilus-cd-burner - uses hal to interact with drives
- NetworkManager - uses libhal to find network devices
- nut - needs porting to DeviceKit-power
- odccm - uses libhal to find pda devices
- oxine - uses libhal to monitor volumes and drives
- pcmanfm - uses libhal to find volumes and drives
- pmount - uses hal to mount and unmount devices
- pm-utils - requires hal to install fdi files, should be fine
- pulseaudio - uses libhal to find audio devices
- python-minihallib - python wrapper around hal api
- rhpxl - uses hal to find mice and video cards
- rhythmbox - uses libhal to find remote audio players
- sane-backends - only requires hal to install an fdi file, should be fine
- synaptics - only requires hal to install an fdi file, should be fine
- synce-hal
- thinkfinger - requires hal to install some fdi files, should be fine, and is obsoleted by fprintd anyway
- Thunar - uses libhal to monitor volumes and drives
- thunar-volman - uses libhal to monitor removable devices
- tracker - only uses libhal to track ac/battery status, should be ported to DK-power
- xfce4-volstatus-icon - uses libhal to monitor volumes and drives
- xorg-x11-server - uses libhal to find input devices
How To Test
- Use palimpsest (the graphical frontend) to create, modify and delete partitions and file systems on various media, such as usb sticks, cds, removable hard disks, etc.
- Use palimpsest to encrypt partitions and to change passwords for existing encrypted partitions.
- Verify that palimpsest correctly reports smart data from disks which support it.
- Test the raid support
- Test the lvm support
- Test that desktop applications like nautilus and the gedit's file chooser see volumes and mounts
- Similar for other desktop environments and applications, if they are ported to DeviceKit
User Experience
There is a new menu item that brings up palimpsest: Applications → System Tools → Palimpsest Disk Utility
The nautilus context menu offers to format discs/usb sticks and other devices. palimpsest is a graphical interface for all disc-related tasks, from partitioning and file system creation to encryption, raid and lvm.
- DeviceKit review:
- DeviceKit-disks review:
- gnome-disk-utility review:
- DeviceKit-power review:
- udev >= 0.130
- hal needs to be built with DeviceKit-disks support.
- gvfs needs to be built against DeviceKit-disks, and the volume monitor in gvfs must be moved out of process to make it a singleton.
- gnome-mount and nautilus must be ported to DeviceKit-disks.
- A nautilus extension for formatting must be written.
Contingency Plan
DeviceKit-disks and DeviceKit-power can coexist with the disk and power management parts of hal. If the porting of applications is not complete by F11, we don't strip the functionality out of hal in F11.
API docs are here: http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/DeviceKit/ http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/DeviceKit-disks/ http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/DeviceKit-power/
End user documentation will take some time to write, and can't really be started before the tools are publicly available.
Release Notes
Fedora 11 features DeviceKit, which is a simpler, modular replacement for hal. hal itself is still around, since applications rely on it. DeviceKit also comes with a graphical disk management application called palimpsest that allows to handle partitioning, file system creation, encryption, raid, lvm, etc.

Design submitted by Peter from UK.
Peter says: "I wanted to come up with a single hand analog watch that uses 3D to display the time. I decided that the minutes would be shown in a conventional manner and the hours would be in a vertical plane. I looked into a means of maneuvering the single hand in both a rotational manner and up and down for the hours. The rotor arrangement of a helicopter fitted the bill. I then used this as a bit of a theme for the styling of this watch."
To see the minutes, you look at the watch from above as per a regular watch. To see the hours, you look at the perimeter of the watch where the single hand tilts to point at 1 of 12 bands/grooves which circle the case.
This watch design would appeal to anyone who likes analogue watches but fancies something a little different and adventurous.

Homarus gammarus has been assessed as Least Concern. This species has a broad geographic range and is common in areas of suitable habitat. Despite commercial exploitation of this species for food, the global annual catch of this species has shown a steady increase over the last 30 years.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species has a broad, geographic range across the eastern Atlantic Ocean. In the northern part of its range it can be found from the Lofoten Islands in Norway, to the southeast of Sweden and Denmark, though cannot be found in the Baltic Sea. Its range then extends along coastal mainland Europe, including the United Kingdom and Ireland, south to the coast of Morocco. It can also be found along the coastline of the Mediterranean and the western Black Sea, though is not found in such great abundance (Holthuis 1991, Cobb and Castro 2006, Prödohl et al. 2007).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Albania; Algeria; Belgium; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Bulgaria; Croatia; Cyprus; Denmark; Egypt (Egypt (African part), Sinai); France (Corsica, France (mainland)); Germany; Gibraltar; Greece; Guernsey; Ireland; Israel; Italy (Italy (mainland), Sardegna, Sicilia); Jersey; Lebanon; Libya; Malta; Monaco; Montenegro; Morocco; Netherlands; Norway; Palestinian Territory, Occupied; Portugal (Azores, Madeira, Portugal (mainland), Selvagens); Romania; Slovenia; Spain (Baleares, Canary Is., Spain (mainland), Spanish North African Territories); Sweden; Syrian Arab Republic; Tunisia; Turkey (Turkey-in-Asia, Turkey-in-Europe); Ukraine; United Kingdom (Great Britain)
|FAO Marine Fishing Areas:
Atlantic – northeast; Atlantic – eastern central; Mediterranean and Black Sea

|This is an abundant species that is harvested in commercial quantities in parts of its range. The main fishing grounds are now the United Kingdom, Ireland, Channel Islands and France (Cobbs and Castro 2006). Landings were relatively steady until 1963 when they peaked at 4,800 tonnes and then dropped to around 2,300 tonnes. In the 1970s, landings fell further to around 1,800-1,900 tonnes but started to show signs of recovery in the early 1980s when they fluctuated between 2-3,000 tonnes. In 2006, 2007, 2008 landings were at around 4,300 tonnes (FISHSTAT Plus 2000).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species is found within the continental shelf to depths of 150 m, though is more commonly found at depths above 50 m (Holthuis 1991). It is typically found on rocky substrates, but may also burrow into cohesive mud or form depressions in sand (Cobb and Castro 2006). This species uses rocky reefs for shelter, especially during moulting. It is a nocturnal species which feeds on mussels, hermit crabs and polychaetes. The European Lobster will not typically mature before 5-8 years; although like many other lobster species, this is largely dependent on water temperature (Prodöhl et al. 2007).
Spawning usually occurs during the summer months and eggs are carried for 9-12 months. Planktonic larvae may be dispersed widely over a development time of 5-10 weeks, while adult lobsters typically move over relatively short distances (M. Bell pers. comm. 2010).
|Use and Trade:
|This species is commercially harvested throughout much of its range as a food source for humans.
|Major Threat(s):
The greatest threat is the commercial scale exploitation of this species as a human food source. This species is harvested throughout its range, but the main fisheries occur around the United Kingdom, Ireland, France and the Channel Islands (Cobb and Castro 2006). This species was once taken in greater quantities in both Norway and Turkey, but significant declines in population size in the 1960s and 1970s have reduced the annual catch to a fraction of what it was formerly (FAO 2009). However, since the 1980s global landings of this species have been steadily increasing (FAO 2009).
|Conservation Actions:
There are a number of local and national regulations in place to prevent over-exploitation of the European Lobster fishery. A number of countries have imposed national minimum legal size limits, closed fishing seasons, and have prohibited the collecting of berried females. In an effort to protect lobster spawning potential in some areas, berried females caught may be V-notched on the tail before being returned to the sea. Under local by-laws or voluntary bans, such lobsters may not be landed until the V-notch has grown out (M. Bell. pers. comm. 2010). As of January 2002 an EU wide minimum legal size of 87 mm (CL) was imposed (Cobb and Castro 2006). This species occurs in a number of marine protected areas.
Aquaculture production of lobsters is a small industry at present, but there is a growing interest in its potential for areas where there have been significant population declines. There are 3 types of aquaculture practice: product enhancement, resource enhancement and full grow out. Product enhancement removes undersized wild individuals and then maintains them in culture facilities where they are fed until they reach a marketable size. Resource enhancement or stock enhancement has been practised for the last century, especially within north american and european fisheries. Local fisheries are regularly stocked with hatchery reared individuals. This practise was developed at a time when there was some concern that the wild fisheries would not be able to keep with the rate at which wild stocks were being exploited.

nothing has changed in the configuration so i dont know why i need to add this port all of a sudden to the clients.

My father, our Father
It can take a lifetime to step past a history of hurt, but 12 steps is a good way to start.
When my young son asks me what God looks like, I want to tell him what he will probably only understand much later, that for children especially, God looks like the people in whom they vest their trust. God can be merciful or terrible.
I learned this through my relationship with my father, who died 11 years ago at the age of 72. Our relationship was always complicated. Early on it was Dad who taught me to write my name and to read simple books. He introduced me to the pleasures of walking in the woods. And he had a way of making the ordinary fun. In the fall he would rake up enormous piles of leaves for us to jump into, piles that we would burn afterwards in great billowy bonfires.
By the time I was 8 or 9 years old, however, my father was also drinking most of a bottle of vodka every night. In a haze of cigarette smoke and through a process I could not understand, the Dad I adored was being sucked away from me like a genie. The bottle I came to hate, in its habitual perch next to the kitchen sink, was for many years a barometer for the rest of us. The lower the level of the liquid in the bottle, the more trouble we could expect from Dad.
One terrible Saturday afternoon when I was a preteen, my pet parakeet got out of its cage. My father, who was already drunk, tried to chase the bird back in with a broom, breaking its leg and wing. Pathetically, I tried to repair my bird's leg with first aid tape, but he died soon afterwards. My favorite color was turquoise, and for years I dreamed and daydreamed of a bird of that color beaten down in flight, of crashing my car into a highway embankment, of escape.
That's when I gave up on God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. While I continued to attend Mass until I left college, mostly to avoid antagonizing my father, "merciful" and "paternal" no longer went together in my mind. I lived the truth of what I heard a priest say recently, that unless a child finds a little bit of God in her father, she will not find a father in God. Neither could I bear to think of God as a bird, even in symbolic terms.
Years passed. My father went in and out of rehab, but he always started drinking again, often on the day of his discharge. Then, when I was 27 and just back from three years in England, I found out that my father was doing most of his drinking away from home and so was driving drunk. How long would it be before he killed someone?
On one of the most difficult days of my life, I went to court and signed my father over for forced confinement. I hated the idea of caging him, but I just couldn't stand by and watch my father take someone innocent down with him. He was sent to a state-run psychiatric facility and forcibly detoxed.
For several months after, he received follow-up treatment at a private psychiatric hospital, where doctors figured out that he was manic-depressive as well as alcoholic. The doctors suggested that perhaps my father had unknowingly been self-medicating with alcohol for his mental illness. They immediately began treating him with lithium.
Dad was 60 then and, while he lived another 12 years, he never drank again. For the first few years of his sobriety, he was vengeful and difficult to be around. My parents divorced during that time. Initially, my father also refused to believe that I had been the one to put him in "lock-up."
With the grace of God and the help of a 12-step program, however, Dad eventually put the bitterness behind him and rooted himself in a new community. At his funeral I was astonished by how many people showed up to recognize his role in helping them to achieve and maintain sobriety.
In the last few years of Dad's life, he and I used to meet regularly in diners to talk. While there was no possibility of recovering all the lost years, I still felt grateful for the opportunity to build, however shakily, from where we were.
I came to understand that it is much easier to make peace with human beings than with ghosts and imaginings. In coming back to us, my father helped me, too, to let go and move on. The Holy Spirit, in whom I had lost all faith, began to rise again from the ashes of all that my father and I had been through together. My father gave me copies of his recovery literature. "Read this stuff," he urged me. "It's not just for drunks, you know."
Eventually Dad died of a heart attack. Now, with a 14-year-old, a 12-year-old with serious handicaps, and a 7-year-old running around our house, life for my husband and me is full of both blessings and struggles. It's fair to say that I have finally made some kind of peace with the imperfection of my father's love for me and mine for him.
In midlife I have come to realize that, on our own, few of us are capable of becoming the parents and the people that we had hoped or planned to be. If we are honest, we can see our individual faults and failings following us like footprints across the landscapes of our lives.
But I also now appreciate that the surrender to a higher power at the heart of 12-step programs is, as my father had come to understand, our best hope of becoming our best selves. When we acknowledge our weakness and humbly ask God for help, we are opening ourselves to the power of God, who can do with us what we cannot accomplish alone.
For me the first real experience of this happened about six months after my father's death. By turning over to God my struggles with a nicotine addiction, I was finally able to quit for good. These days I find myself asking God on an almost daily basis, in large matters and in small, to make of me what I cannot seem to make of myself.
After my father died, I became a lector at Mass as a special way of praying for the man who had taught me to read. It occurs to me that the short prayer I always say as I bow before going up to read—"Not me, Lord, but you through me"—is a pretty good summary of the most important thing I learned from my father about the miracles that are possible with God.
It's also a pretty good description of what I aspire to in my life and especially with my kids.
Knowing that human love and human effort will never be enough on their own, I still want to be the best mirror that I can of a God who came to be like us before he commissioned us to try to be like him. All of us look for God in human form, and we make and break images of God for each other every day. The faith and the trust of a child can soar like a bird into the heavens, but they must make their home on the earth.
I ask God to make me worthy of that trust and capable with his assistance of meeting the tremendous responsibility that is thrust upon us as parents, imperfections and all: that of helping to make the invisible visible and real.

A 'welcoming committee' from your worst nightmare
Apparently, people who live in or visit New England are required to dine on fabulous seafood that is plentiful and delicious – and for which the area is famous.
The most famous of all the ocean fare is, of course, the New England lobster. And it is indeed tasty. However, as sad as it may be, I rarely ingest this world-renowned delicacy. Not because I don't like the taste. Just looking at one conjures memories that I wish to suppress.
The tale begins in Florida, where I succumbed to peer pressure and learned the joys of scuba diving. Being of Hawaiian heritage, one would think that I would be skilled in the ways of the ocean.
That is not the case.
I enjoy sailing and fishing with a rod and reel from above the water, where I can breathe real air. Nonetheless, when I was well into adulthood, I learned to scuba dive at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo, Fla.
The park is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places on earth. It is all under water and encompasses 70 square miles of ocean reefs. There is no fishing or taking of any other wildlife allowed – or even so much as taking a rock from the ocean bottom. The rules are strictly enforced.
Consequently, the marine life in the park is rather tame. Schools of brilliant blue parrotfi sh all but pose for underwater photographers. They will swim up close and look into your mask with inquisitive expressions, as if to say, "Got a sandwich?"
As a diver, I never felt threatened or frightened of any of the critters that called the park their home.
After honing my skills, I decided to take a vacation and go to Hawaii to visit family, and I brought my scuba gear with me. I thought my cousins and uncles would be impressed that I could dive and join them when they went spear fishing to bring home dinner from the depths.
My uncle, who I swear has gills but doesn't allow anyone to see them, couldn't understand why I needed all the tanks and "fancy gear." He can hold his breath for oh...an hour and a half or more, and doesn't need fins to propel him through the water.
He is a hardcore Hawaiian waterman, with all the skills one would ever need to survive in, on or from the ocean. He has little patience for anyone who displays the slightest fear or apprehension when on a quest for a fresh ocean meal.
First, let me say that the Pacifi c Ocean around the Hawaiian Islands is not anything like John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. Hawaiian waters were not designed for wimps. There are huge critters out there, and they will eat you.
As soon as I left the boat and swam to the bottom, I knew that God did not intend for humans to invade this territory. He would not have invented barracudas, eels the size of giant pythons, sea snakes, or sh-sh..ks if He wanted us to be there.
They were all present. It was like a welcoming committee of everything children fear in their worst nightmares.
The plan was to look for the Hawaiian lobster, which is a perfect creature. It has a huge tail and tiny pincers. It cannot harm anything. Unfortunately, they like to hang out in little caves and underneath shelves, where getting to them is difficult.
I saw the tentacles of three of the critters under a shelf beneath a small cave on the ocean floor. I thought it would be wise to look in the cave before grabbing the lobsters. Bad mistake.
As soon as my face was even with the entrance, a moray eel the size of Godzilla darted out and hit me in the mask. I shot to the surface like a missile. Once there, I proceeded to run on water to the boat, which I refused to leave until we arrived on shore.
Unfortunately, my uncle and cousins saw the entire affair and laughed so hard they almost drowned. They grabbed the lobsters, came to the surface, and I will not tell you about the humiliation they forced me to endure.
I salute New England lobstermen who know how to catch lobsters the sensible way – in traps.
Beneath the wild ocean is another part of this system I will never understand.

This happens in 1961, when 16-year-old girls were a great deal less knowing than they are now. Yet the movie isn't shabby or painful, but romantic and wonderfully entertaining.
Read Full Review
This tale of an English schoolgirl's hard-won wisdom is thrilling --for the radiance of Carey Mulligan's Jenny, who's wonderfully smart and perilously tender; for the grace of Lone Scherfig's direction, and the brilliance of Nick Hornby's screenplay.
Through stellar performances, clever writing and exquisite cinematography, the story is fresh and thoroughly captivating.
Topped by a fine cast, a first-rate script by Nick Hornby and tight direction by Lone Scherfig, the film is a smart, moving but not inaccessible entry in the coming-of-age canon.
Afterward, you'll want to listen to the Beatles sing ''She's Leaving Home.'' It might be a girl like Jenny the lads had in mind.

Intelligent period drama tackles mature teen topics.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this smart 1960s-set drama written by popular author Nick Hornby explores a teenager's efforts to define her future, which includes making a mess of her well-laid plans -- most notably by becoming involved in a relationship with a sophisticated man nearly twice her age. Virginity, education, class -- they're all up for discussion and questioning. These are mature themes, but older teens should get a lot out of the movie. There's some sexual content (implied nudity and intercourse, kissing, and some risque discussion), as well as some era-accurate social drinking and smoking.
Messages: The film pits classroom education vs. real-world experiences -- but in the end, life demands a far more complex solution. Nevertheless, the importance of knowledge-seeking is made very clear, especially in the way it elevates the status of women.
Role models: Jenny is admirable in many ways, especially her thirst for knowledge and respect for book learning. Realistically for a teenager, she's also impulsive and drawn to what is mysterious and possibly dangerous -- perhaps not literally, but emotionally (she'll also fib to get what she wants sometimes). Still, she's able to face her mistakes and herself when necessary. Her parents are both permissive and controlling, which contributes to the situation in which she finds herself -- but they clearly love her.
Violence: A couple argues loudly; two guys pilfer a map from a house and brusquely instruct their girlfriends to jump in the car.
Sex: A man in his 30s courts a 16-year-old virgin. In one scene, he asks to see her breasts, and she acquiesces -- there's no nudity, but she's shown opening her blouse. Later, they have sex, though they're only shown after the fact. Some kissing and much flirting. There's also a somewhat frank discussion about intercourse and a risqu joke about a banana.
Language: "Bloody hell," "idiot," and "stupid."
Consumerism: Car, cigarette, and perfume brands (like Chanel) that evoke luxury are mentioned or shown.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: A 16-year-old smokes French cigarettes (Gauloises). Some social drinking.

Women, young people, reservists and those who served during peacetime or in non-combat support roles aren't often the first people pictured during Veterans' Day.
Women, young people, reservists and those who served during peacetime or in non-combat support roles aren't often the first people pictured during Veterans' Day. But they are veterans just the same, local American Legion Commander Stu MacRoberts said Sunday.
In his speech at the annual Veterans' Day ceremony at Forest Lawn Memorial Park on Tracy Grove Road, MacRoberts said veterans come in all stripes, from elderly World War II combat soldiers to young reservists now helping the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Although the word "veteran" is derived from the Latin word for old, MacRoberts reminded a crowd of roughly 150 veterans and their supporters that the military has changed dramatically in recent decades. Roughly 1.7 million veterans are now under the age of 35.
Women were once known as "The Invisible Veterans," MacRoberts said, even though they've served the U.S. military for 200 years. Today, women make up about 40 percent of all veterans, and "now we have female fighter pilots and female airborne infantry officers."
A veteran is not necessarily someone who "engaged in direct conflict with an enemy," said MacRoberts, who served in the U.S. Air Force during the Cold War and early in the Vietnam era.
"The phrase, 'It takes a village,' is very appropriate for the armed forces," MacRoberts said. "It takes many different individuals, with different skills, to staff a brigade, a squadron or a ship, having that military unit operate effectively and efficiently. The cook, the doctor, the clerk-typist, the electrician are no less important than the commanders, the pilots or the individuals that have been at the front lines."
Mike Handzus is living proof of that. A past commander of American Legion Post 77, Handzus never saw combat during Vietnam, but he spent three years in Germany for the U.S. Army overseeing radio operations for 5,000 servicemen in tanks and choppers.
On Sunday, Handzus placed one of 19 wreaths laid at the graves of fallen soldiers. His brothers saw battle in Vietnam, but both thankfully made it back alive. "One of them did say, 'I knew I'd made a mistake when I headed out (into the jungle) and machine gun fire hit on both sides of me.'"
Flags across the memorial park flapped and snapped in a brisk wind as members of West Henderson High's Army junior ROTC performed a 12-step "ceremony of retreat" to honor the nation's fallen veterans. Second Lt. Kimberly Raines explained that each fold of the flag holds special significance.
"The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, 'Our country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong,'" Raines said.
Improved medical care in the field has improved the survival rate of injured soldiers, MacRoberts said, but also magnified the importance of veterans' health care. Head injuries, loss of limbs and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder are more common among young veterans. Since 2009, the number of pending disability claims at the Veterans Administration has more than doubled, to 880,000.
"The V.A. added 4,000 new employees since 2008, but it is obviously not an adequate number of staff and pending claims may only continue to be a problem," he said.
Many veterans arrived at Forest Lawn in antique, vintage and classic cars provided by the Hendersonville Antique Car Club, who picked them up at the Veterans of Foreign Wars building at Five Points or the American Legion Post on Washington Street and shuttled them to the ceremony.
The crowd stood solemnly at attention as members of the Henderson County Honor Guard fired off a four-volley salute in honor of fallen warriors. A bugle played Taps, the notes quavering in the gusty wind.

Government assistance to agriculture over the past several years of depression era crop prices "has meant the difference between survival and bankruptcy for many farmers," the president of a major farm credit bank says.
"We encourage (Congress) to continue to provide additional support for producers during this difficult time," F.A. Lowrey, president and chief executive officer of AgFirst Farm Credit Bank told a hearing of the House Agriculture Committee's Subcommittee on Conservation, Credit, and Rural Development to obtain input for development of a new farm bill.
While he said the 15 states served by his bank "are blessed with a high degree of crop and livestock diversification, "indications are that again in 2001, as in the past two years, many crop producers are facing extremely challenging times."
Even with "very significant federal government support," Lowrey said, returns have been negative for many farmers and "the globalization of agricultural markets continues to put pressure" on them.
"We can readily see the impact of federal assistance," he noted.
To add to the current dismal outlook for much of agriculture, Lowrey said "there are indications in our territory that availability of ag credit from commercial banks is shrinking as a result of consolidations and low market returns."
Subcommittee Chairman Frank D. Lucas, R-Okla., said federal assistance the last few years "has kept farmers afloat and lenders able to stay with most of their customers through another cycle."
But, he said "this assistance is not healthy — and probably unsustainable. Congress must provide a safety net that is predictable, and it must be a long term assurance that the federal government will be there during down times in agriculture."
Witnesses testified that the state of agricultural lending institutions is generally sound, due in large part to the emergency economic assistance provided by Congress over the past four years, but that continued low crop prices and the uncertainty of future federal assistance are beginning to create increased concern for lenders.
They urged that new farm legislation provide for predictability of economic assistance to producers, which will allow lenders and their customers to make better financing decisions and to have a better picture of cash flow.
"The credit title of the farm bill will be of utmost importance to agricultural producers and rural communities," Rep. Lucas said. "This title, in conjunction with rural development and research titles, may be the key to producers being able to create strong, viable value-added concepts for themselves and their communities."
AgFirst's Lowrey said in order for the Farm Credit system to continue meeting rural credit needs:
Farm Credit's charter needs updating. It's last significant change was in 1971, and it's lending authority "is becoming outdated." Producers are becoming more dependent on new and existing value-added agricultural businesses to provide markets for new commodities, he said. "Farm Credit, agriculture's traditional lender, must be able to finance these operations, but unfortunately we are restrained from doing this by an outdated charter."
Increased availability of equity capital should be made available for farmer-owned cooperatives and other rural businesses. "Rural America is not sharing fairly in the unprecedented prosperity of the rest of the country," Lowrey said. "There is a real need to more broadly diversify our rural economies and to generate new sources of equity capital for rural business development.
"We encourage the Congress to consider legislation to encourage private investment in value-added agriculture enterprises, producer owned cooperatives, and other projects that existing venture capital funds do not accommodate. These would provide off-farm income, additional markets for agricultural products, and new business opportunities in rural communities."
The Farm Credit Administration should abide by the direction given to it by Congress in the Farm Credit System Reform Act of 1996, in reviewing and eliminating regulations that are unnecessary, unduly burdensome or costly, or not based on law.
"FCA has yet to fully implement this statutory directive," Lowrey said. "Having them do so would go a long way toward providing Farm Credit institutions the flexibility they need to continue to serve farmers, ranchers, and cooperatives in the future."

Signed into law by President Bush on May 13, 2002, the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 is a complex web of government rules and regulations.
That level of complexity was readily apparent at a recent farm bill training meeting at the Charles W. Capps Jr. Center for Technology in Indianola, Miss. As each provision was discussed, questions arose from growers in the audience. To help producers better understand the intricacies of the new farm bill, the following are some of the more common grower queries and answers as provided by officials with USDA's Farm Service Agency.
Q: If adding oilseed base to a farm, do you have to prove your soybean yield averages for each tract of land in your farm, or for the farm number as a whole?
A: "In most cases with soybeans I think what we're going to be dealing with is prorating the production out over all farms," says Robin Richardson, Farm Service Agency county director in Sunflower County, Miss.
He says "If you haven't co-mingled your soybeans then, yes, the producer has to provide the documentation to support each yield average, but you don't have to prove each individual tract. You are bringing in production information for the farm itself, and if you have 18 farms, then you're going to have 18 yields to prove. We're going to have to help you actually calculate that, however.
The way the farm bill was written, Richardson says, growers are supposed to provide county Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices with completed 658C forms documenting their crop production. Farm Service Agency officials then have the authority to spot check a farm number over a four-year period and assess penalties for any inaccuracies.
In reality, he says, many producers do not have the records available to document specific production for every farm, especially for farms that have been reconstituted in recent years. "We're going to have to help you make these decisions. By the same token, that's why we're telling you on the front end that we expect you to get your production evidence together, bring it into our office, and we'll help you calculate it."
Q: Why do the base options reports list information for both soybeans and total oilseeds?
A: Your base options report contains production information for all oilseed production. That includes soybeans as well as any other oilseeds, including sunflowers, which you produced from 1998 to 2001.
When adding oilseed bases, you can update your oilseed bases individually, but the limitation is on total oilseeds. "Let's say you had a 100 acres — 75 acres of soybeans and 25 acres of sunflowers — and you were limited to 75 acres as your total oilseed base available. You could choose your soybean acreage and forget about the sunflower acreage. Otherwise, if your oilseed base acreage is not limited to less than 100 acres, you'll get credit for both your soybean and sunflower acres," Richardson says.
Q: If you don't plant a crop for which you have a base on, do you still get the counter-cyclical payment for that crop, or just the direct payment?
A: "You don't have to plant a crop, period, to earn either a direct payment or a counter-cyclical payment. A landowner can just take his farm and leave it set-aside, keep it maintained by disking or clipping or whatever, and earn the payments that are there, both the direct and the counter-cyclical, Richardson says.
"At the same time, however, if for some reason the price of a commodity goes up, the counter-cyclical payment will be gone and you won't earn it."
For payment purposes, your direct yield equals your current program yield or the county committee's similar farm assigned yield. In the case of soybeans, your direct yield will either be 78 percent of the county yield average, which in the case of Sunflower County, Miss., is 16 bushels per acre, or it will be the proven yield of your farm times 78 percent, according to Richardson.
Q: If you want to update your bases and add an oilseed base but retain your previous yields, how will soybean yields be determined?
A: If you want to update your bases but retain your current yields, your soybean yield will be the same for both direct payment and counter-cyclical payment purposes. You can still prove your soybean yields, but it will be subject to the 78 percent factor for both direct and counter-cyclical purposes, Richardson says.
Q: For oilseeds, what percent moisture is allowed when proving your program yield?
A: For the purposes of this program, Richardson says, the Farm Service Agency will use the number of net bushels paid according to your load summary sheet, or your settlement sheet. "If the warehouse has taken deductions for moisture, you will not get credit for those deductions in the yield category. We're going to look at what the warehouse actually paid for," he says.
Q: If you have several co-landowners scattered across the United States. can you use a power of attorney to allow the local landowner to handle all of the required paperwork?
A: The short answer is yes. To do so, however, you must have a new power of attorney on file with the county Farm Service Agency office. "My advice to you is, if you want to use a power of attorney, go ahead and get a new form from your local FSA office, and get it executed and signed," Richardson says.

"We welcome all who are interested to come meet with us. Bring your acoustic instrument and join us," said club spokesman June Johnson.
"The club could use some more singers, so if you sing, come on and help us out. Come join us and see what you are missing! We also welcome anyone that would like to come and perform for us."
