The U.S. Supreme Court expanded the reach of a federal law enacted in response to the 2001 Enron Corp. collapse, saying it protects people who work for a public company's contractors, including law firms and auditors.
The justices, voting 6-3, allowed whistle-blower claims by two former employees of a privately held company that provides investment advice and management services to the Fidelity mutual funds.
The case centered on protections that watchdog groups and President Barack Obama's administration say are important to prevent another Enron-like catastrophe.
Congress was "aiming to encourage whistle-blowing by contractor employees who suspect fraud involving the public companies with whom they work," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in her opinion for the court. She said a ruling to the contrary would have put a "huge hole" in the law.
Enron, once the world's largest energy trader, collapsed after using off-books partnerships to hide billions of dollars in losses and debt. The fraud also brought down Arthur Andersen, Enron's auditing firm.
The disputed law, the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act, bars publicly traded companies and their contractors and subcontractors from discriminating against an "employee" who reports fraud or a violation of securities regulations. The question was whether that provision allows retaliation lawsuits only by the employees of the public company, or by those of its contractors as well.
The case was significant for the mutual fund industry. While the funds themselves are publicly traded, they typically have few if any employees, instead using privately held companies to conduct day-to-day activities.
Ginsburg said the court's interpretation of the law "avoids insulating the entire mutual fund industry" from the whistle-blower provision.
'Fanciful Visions'
Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Anthony Kennedy, and Samuel Alito dissented. Sotomayor said the majority had given the provision a "stunning reach," authorizing lawsuits by babysitters and cleaning people over fraud unrelated to corporate governance.
"If, for example, a nanny is discharged after expressing a concern to his employer that the employer's teenage son may be participating in some Internet fraud," the nanny could sue, Sotomayor said.
Ginsburg said the dissenters were "indulging in fanciful visions of whistle-blowing babysitters and the like." She said there was no indication that anyone had sued under the provision without a connection to shareholder fraud.
The suing employees, Jackie Hosang Lawson and Jonathan M. Zang, worked for units of privately held FMR LLC. The units provide investment advice and management services to publicly traded Fidelity mutual funds.
The workers say they lost their jobs after reporting fraud. Lawson complained that expenses were being inflated and, ultimately, passed on to fund shareholders. Zang contended that a Fidelity statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) misrepresented how portfolio managers were compensated.
FMR denies the allegations and says both employees had performance problems. Zang was fired in 2005 and Lawson resigned in 2007.
"We believe that the allegations were unfounded when they were made and they continue to be unfounded today," said Vincent Loporchio, a spokesman for the company. He said Fidelity "has long offered employees a number of channels to report potential abuses," including an anonymous telephone tip line.
Appeals Court Reversal
FMR argued that the reference to contractors and subcontractors in the disputed provision applies only to a "workout firm" brought in to wind down the affairs of a bankrupt company. The company pointed to the movie "Up in the Air," in which George Clooney portrays an "ax-wielding specialist" brought in to fire people.
The company also said Congress addressed accounting firms and law firms in a different part of the 2002 statute, letting two federal agencies issue regulations to protect those workers. The agencies haven't issued any such rules.
The decision reversed a federal appeals court, which had ruled that Lawson and Zang couldn't invoke Sarbanes-Oxley because they didn't work for publicly traded companies.
"The Supreme Court closed a potentially devastating loophole in corporate whistle-blower protection," said Stephen M. Kohn, executive director of the National Whistleblower Center, which backed the workers in the case.
Small-business advocates said the ruling would prove costly.
"The court is downplaying the reality that this decision gives plaintiffs' attorneys additional incentives to pursue aggressive litigation against independent companies," said Karen Harned, executive director of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Small Business Legal Center.
The case is Lawson v. FMR LLC, 12-3.

Install Tips for the Asus Eee PC
This wiki page supplements these pages: Beginners Guide, the Official Install Guide, and Installing Arch Linux on the Asus EEE PC. Please refer to those guides first before following the eeepc-specific pointers on this page.
Most of this information is from the Arch Forum EEE 901 thread. Consult this thread, and other resources on the Arch forum, for more details and discussion.
Kernel Installation and configuration
Follow the Arch Linux installation Guide to install the latest stock distribution from USB media or CDROM. Install the BASE and DEVEL package categories. Reboot your PC.
Note: The wireless driver (rt2860sta) does not seem to work with the latest linux kernel (2.26.32). The current arch release (2009-8) still uses the 2.26.30 kernel. Install arch using the core images, rather than netinstall. This will install the 2.26.30 linux kernel, rather than downloading the latest kernel from the repositories. Then, after rebooting, and before upgrading any package, include
in /etc/pacman.conf, to avoid upgrading the kernel.
As of the advent of kernel 2.6.30, all drivers needed for the EEE 901 are included in the Arch Linux stock kernel. In case you would like to compile your own kernel, make sure that you build the following modules:
Network card:
Device Drivers - Ethernet (1000Mbit) - Atheros L1E Gigabit Ethernet support
WiFi card:
Device Drivers - Staging Drivers - Ralink 2860
Eee Hotkey stuff:
Device Drivers - X86 Platform Specific Device Drivers - EeePC Hotkey Driver
Video Camera:
Device Drivers - Multimedia Devices - Video Capture adapters - V4L USB devices - USB Video Class (UVC)
Sound Card:
Device Drivers - Sound card support - ALSA - PCI Sound devices - Intel HDA - Build Realtek HDA codec
Device Drivers - Input Device support - Mice - PS/2 mouse - Synaptics & Elantech PS/2 protocol ext.
For flawless operation with the eee-control FSB frequency changing mechanism, you have to compile
Device Drivers - I2C support - I2C Hardware Bus support - Intel 82801 (ICH)
as a _module_ (thanks for the hint, dieghen89, even though I never got to include it...)
For some tricks to speed up udev boot time, see below.
Using the Stock kernel
This section gives some hints and clues about how to tweak the stock Arch Linux kernel for the EeePC 901. For more general information about building custom Arch Linux kernels, see Kernel Compilation.
The stock kernel has some advantages over the custom kernel:
- The ethernet driver is now available in stock kernel (called: Atheros L1E Gigabit Ethernet support), so no external modules or patching needed
- As of kernel 2.6.29 the Ralink wireless driver is included in the stock kernel (though it is still a work in progress). Just add the rt2860sta module to /etc/rc.conf and it works out of the box.
- From kernel 2.6.33 on you only need to blacklist rt2800pci in /etc/rc.conf and wireless works flawlessly
- It is likely that more Asus and EeePC-specific features will be included in future versions of the stock kernel, and current drivers will improve with each kernel release. (Word has it that Linus Torvalds himself bought an EeePc). Chances are that the stock kernel now includes the drivers and features you need for your EeePC.
- The stock kernel, as part of the core repository, is always available and maintained in a number of mirror repositories.
example .config
Here is a sample kernel .config file created for the 1000H with the stock 18.104.22.168 kernel: .config.
You can take it as starting point to build your own kernel. Make sure that the filesystem types you want to use are configured (at the moment this configuration only contains ext2, compiled in, and ext3 as module).
OS Configuration
To support the devices listed below, make sure the module eeepc_laptop is loaded on boot.
To automatically all the modules needed (including bluetooth, if it is enabled in BIOS, and the ALSA sound drivers), enable autoloading in your /etc/rc.conf:
Networking: Ethernet
Ethernet (wired) network access should work right out of the box with precompiled kernels, or with atl1e module you built from AUR.
Networking: Wireless
After a bios-upgrade the wireless-card of the Eee PC will be disabled by default, so if you have any troubles with wlan check that it is enabled in the bios.
To enable/disable the wireless card from the command line:
# enable echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/wlan # disable echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/wlan
For newer kernels enable/disable wireless the following way:
# enable echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/rfkill/rfkill0/state # disable echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/rfkill/rfkill0/state
The precompiled kernels listed above contain a patched version of the wifi driver rt2860sta and it should work with both WEP and WPA.
If you are compiling the rt2860sta kernel driver yourself, use the newest (1.8) version of the driver in AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14557.
Make sure you have the wireless_tools package installed, also. You may need to manually download the package from a Mirror (look in core/os/i686/) and install it locally (e.g. after moving it with a usb-stick to your eeePC) using Pacman.
There are reported some problems associating an AP with netcfg2 (WEP and open, WPA-PSK works ok). If you experience problems, try another connection manager, for example wicd works fine.
pacman -S wicd
If you experience problems with the Ralink driver and your connection manager, try using the following script to connect:
#!/bin/bash case "$1" in start) sudo ifconfig ra0 up sudo wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -ira0 -cwifi_up.conf sleep 3 sudo dhcpcd ra0 ;; stop) sudo kill -15 `cat /var/run/dhcpcd-ra0.pid` sudo rm /var/run/wpa_supplicant/ra0 sudo ifconfig ra0 down ;; list) sudo ifconfig ra0 up sleep 1 sudo iwlist ra0 scanning sudo ifconfig ra0 down ;; restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|list|restart}" esac exit 0
Here's a working example wpa_supplicant config file:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant # change ap_scan to 2 if running into problems ap_scan=1 fast_reauth=1 eapol_version=1 network={ key_mgmt=NONE } network={ ssid="WPA" scan_ssid=1 proto=WPA key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=TKIP group=TKIP #psk="passphrase" psk=hexkey } network={ ssid="WEP" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=NONE #wep_key0="passphrase" wep_key0=hexkey wep_tx_keyidx=0 }
Your mileage may vary, but experience seems to show that the ap_scan=1 parameter is critical. Try tweaking the other "header" settings, too, if you continue to experience problems.
ACPI (Hotkeys)
Option 1: Install the acpi-eeepc-generic package from AUR
For this package to work, make sure the eeepc_laptop and rfkill modules are loaded at boot.
Consult the notes included with the install for instructions on configuring /etc/conf.d/acpi-eeepc-generic.conf.
This will enable all the Fn + xx keys and the four silver hotkey buttons buttons as configured in the default Xandros distribution, with some minor variations. Edit the /etc/conf.d/acpi-eeepc-generic.conf file to change or modify the behavior of the function keys.
Option 2: Configure the stock kernel ACPI features
Enable the ASUS_LAPTOP (Device Drivers -> Misc Devices) switch in your kernel config and turn off ACPI_ASUS switch (Power managment options -> ACPI).
To enable the FN keys, the WLAN and Camera on/off toggles, etc., activate the EEEPC_LAPTOP switch also (Device Drivers -> Misc Devices).
You can use Robertek's PKGBUILD and files for acpi-www901 at http://robertek.brevnov.net/files/linux/arch/acpi-eee901/ as a base to incorporate the stock kernel modules and ASUS OSD into the ACPI system.
Note: The kernel interfaces /proc/acpi/asus or /proc/acpi/eee are not available with the eeepc_laptop module. The corresponding eeepc_laptop interfaces are files in: /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/. You may need to edit some of the scripts under /etc/acpi/ to point to the correct paths.
Asus OSD is included as part of the acpi-eee901 package. Simply add the command asusosd & to your desktop manager startup script, or create the file /etc/xdg/autostart/asusosd.desktop with these contents:
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=ASUS OSD Comment=ASUS OSD Exec=/usr/bin/asusosd Terminal=false Type=Application StartupNotify=false Hidden=false
Currently, Bluetooth is not enabled with the Fn + F2 hotkey. To communicate with Bluetooth devices, make sure Bluetooth has been enabled in the BIOS.
To enable/disable bluetooth from the command line :
# enable echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/bt # disable echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/bt
Install the bluez package. Make sure the bluetooth module is loaded.
See the Arch Linux Bluetooth and Bluetooth Mouse wiki pages for more information about configuring and using Bluetooth devices.
To enable/disable the camera:
# enable echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera # disable echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera
To record video and take photos, you may use cheese or the wxcam package (available in the edgy repository or AUR).
pacman -S wxcam
To simply test the camera, you may use mplayer:
mplayer -fps 15 tv://
The webcam is reported to work with Skype.
Audio output is enabled with the default ALSA drivers distributed with the kernels. You may need to install the alsa-lib and alsa-utils packages to get full functionality. Make sure the snd-hda-intel module is loaded.
Both the microphone and PC speakers should work out-of-the-box with current versions of the kernel and ALSA drivers. A common gotcha: if you're not getting any sound, did you run alsamixer and unmute your channels?
See the Arch Linux ALSA wiki page for more information about configuring and using ALSA.
This section is out-of-date, and needs to be cleaned up.
You will need the xf86-video-intel video driver:
pacman -S xf86-video-intel
To set-up the touchpad, (including two-fingers scrolling & tapping), just install xf86-input-synaptics (no xorg.conf required):
pacman -S xf86-input-synaptics
Some users have reported problems with vsync and the xf86-video-intel driver. These problems may be partially solved in the application (see this forum post.)
Connecting an external Monitor
The xrandr utility (part of Xorg) can be used to switch into screen modes appropriate either for the EeePC's LCD or an externally connected monitor. Running "xrandr -q" will show you the available output devices and the supported modes. Then run the tool as follows:
xrandr --output LVDS --off --output VGA --auto # disable LCD, enable monitor xrandr --output LVDS --auto --output VGA --auto # enable both etc.
Your monitor will probably support a bigger resolution than the LCD. To make use of that additional screen space, tell the X server to create an appropriately large framebuffer by adding the "Virtual" directive to the Screen/Display section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Virtual 1600 1200 # max resolution is 1600x1200 EndSubSection EndSection
On the LCD, the additional space will be unused, but when switching to the external monitor, the screen will be. Note that some window managers (such as ratpoison) might need to be restarted to realize that the visible screen size has changed.
Letterboxing with XRandR
If you have set up your X server and kernel to use KMS you might have some trouble getting a 800x600 resolution letterboxed (centered) rather than stretched, which might be unpleasant in some programs that don't support 1024x600 such as older games. This is because with KMS the xrandr syntax is a bit different [1]. To get a centered 800x600 visual field on your 1024x600 panel run:
$ xrandr --output LVDS1 --set "scaling mode" "Center" $ xrandr -s 800x600
Replace "800x600" with "1024x600" to go back to the native resolution.
Mouse and Synaptics driver
To enable the Synaptics drivers, first install the synaptics package:
pacman -S synaptics
You also need the evdev driver for Xorg:
pacman -S xf86-input-evdev
Then make these changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "ArchLinux" Screen 0 "Screen0" InputDevice "keyboard" InputDevice "mouse" InputDevice "synaptics" EndSection [...] Section "Files" # RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1" EndSection Section "Module" Load "GLcore" Load "glx" Load "record" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "xtrap" Load "dbe" Load "freetype" Load "synaptics" EndSection [...] Section "InputDevice" Identifier "mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "CorePointer" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "synaptics" Driver "synaptics" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "PalmDetect" "0" Option "SHMConfig" "true" Option "SendCoreEvents" "yes" Option "RBCornerButton" "0" Option "RTCornerButtom" "0" Option "TapButton1" "1" Option "TapButton2" "2" Option "TapButton3" "3" Option "AccelFactor" "0.0320" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.72" Option "MinSpeed" "0.6" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "TouchPadOff" "0" Option "LBCornerButton" "2" Option "LeftEdge" "60" Option "RightEdge" "1070" Option "TopEdge" "90" Option "BottomEdge" "680" Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1" Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "20" Option "LockedDrags" "1" Option "CoastingSpeed" "0.13" Option "CircularScrolling" "1" Option "CircScrollTrigger" "8" # 8=Top Left Corner EndSection
The latest version of the Elantech touchpad driver patch is available at http://arjan.opmeer.net/elantech/ or here mac how to You'll need to apply this patch to your kernel source, then recompile the kernel. This patch has been tested on the 220.127.116.11 and 126.96.36.199 kernels.
A complete working set Xorg/HAL config files
The latest version of xserver recommends using the HAL subsystem to manage X device configurations, in place of xorg.conf.
If it isn't installed already, install HAL, then add hal to the list of daemons in your /etc/rc.conf file:
pacman -s hal
Create the following HAL device configuration files for X:
File: /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi (configure the input.xkb.layout parameter to match your locale)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap"> <append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append> </match> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys"> <merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge> <merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">keyboard</merge> <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name" string="Linux"> <merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge> </match> <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">se</merge> <merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" /> <merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">ctrl:nocaps</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo>

The xorg.conf file is no longer strictly necessary, but some features, such as windowtitles in wmii, run faster if configured here.
If you don't have an xorg.conf file, and want to configure the keyboard layout on the fly:
# Set keyboard to cz with qwerty setxkbmap cz qwerty
To configure the mouse speed:
# Set mouse movement and acceleration (you need to tweak this to your needs) xset m 2 1
Performance Tips
The following tweaks can be used to improve performance and/or power consumption.
Speedstep is included by default in the Linux 2.6.x kernel.
The zen-eee901 kernels contain the Speedstep modules. Add acpi-cpufreq to your MODULES list in /etc/rc.conf to enable it on boot, or execute:
modprobe acpi-cpufreq
See http://rffr.de/acpi for more information.
For more information on overclocking the Asus EEE PC line, see http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:overclockfsb
Faster boot and udev
To safe a little time with udev during boot, you can edit your /etc/rc.conf and disable MOD_AUTOLOAD. It should look like this
MOD_AUTOLOAD="no" MODULES=(atl1e rt2860sta rfkill acpi-cpufreq pciehp intel_agp snd-hda-intel !snd-pcsp bluetooth)
In addition, it may be helpful to do the following:
MODULES=( ... !eeepc_laptop ... )
and then load that module in the background in rc.local:
modprobe eeepc_laptop &
(insert that line)
Boot Booster
Enable Asus Boot Booster feature in BIOS to skip some tests during boot.

Based on the book by Dr. Seuss
Play originally produced by the National Theatre of Great Britain
Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI) All authorized performance materials supplied by MTI
"It's fun to have fun, but you have to know how." Our favorite Dr. Seuss character introduces his eclectic entertainment with mischievous humor and madcap style. The Cat in the Hat busts the boredom of a rainy afternoon with all sorts of zaniness – including the iconic and acrobatic Thing One and Thing Two. Rhyming his way through the house while balancing cups and tools, Cat brings a cozy home to chaos where Sally, her brother and their outspokenly cautious pet Fish, are simultaneously amused, astounded and concerned, with good reason.

Junya Watanabe x Puma !!!
Report by Stephanie LaCava on 30 September 2012.
The show opened in flames: a red athletic top and pant with orange detailing. What followed was a sporty parade that at first may have seemed simple, though in truth was perhaps more complex.

The Council on Aging of Henderson County is asking people to save their lunch money next week.
The Council on Aging of Henderson County is asking people to save their lunch money next week.
The nonprofit's annual "Sack Senior Hunger" will take place from March 18-22, when people are asked to pack their lunch instead of going to a restaurant or buying food.
In turn, the nonprofit is hoping people will donate the money they saved to the Meals on Wheels program and Council on Aging.
Money raised will stay in Henderson County and will help feed homebound older adults.
In the past, the program has seen donations from companies that encouraged employees to bring their lunch to work, as well as from individuals who made the effort.
Meals on Wheels, which is administered by the Council on Aging, provides more than 200 meals to people across the county, Community Development Officer Allison Nalley said. Nearly 44 percent of the county's population is made up of older adults, which makes the program vital to the community, she added.
The goal for the week is $2,000. The fundraiser brought in $1,500 last year.
All proceeds go directly to the Meals on Wheels program. And the program is about more than just serving meals, Nalley said.
"It's someone checking up on them every day," she said. "It's all companionship."
To donate, call 828-692-4203 or visit www.coahc.org.
Reach Millwood at 828-694-7881 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Webstart.me Removal Instructions
If you see Webstart.me in your browsers, it means that you have an ad-supported application on your PC. The adware is called Razor Web and its main purpose is to promote its sponsors. The application has an official website at myrazorweb.com, however, it is not very useful, as it does not have a download button.
This means that the software travels bundled with freeware and shareware. During the installation process it is presented as an additional offer. Oftentimes computer users do not notice it and agree to the offer unwittingly. If you never wanted the adware in the first place, you should not hesitate to delete Webstart.me from your PC.
How does Webstart.me work?
Webstart.me is similar to Record Page, Assist Point, Dragon Branch, Strong Signal and some other adware programs. It enters the system surreptitiously and starts filling your browsers with adverts. It works on all web browsers, so you will not be able to avoid the commercial data after it gets installed. The software will show you pop-ups, links, banners and so on. The adverts will be inserted in all pages even if they have nothing to do with online shopping. It will be impossible to surf the Web without constant distractions.Download Removal Toolto remove Webstart.me
The bigger problem with the ads, however, is that some of them are fake. You will encounter advertisements that are not legitimate and if you click on them you will be redirected to unreliable sites. These sites could harbor malware or contain some other virtual scams. You could infect your computer, purchase non-existent products, disclose your details to untrustworthy sources and so on. Needless to say, you need to make sure that does not happen. The only way to do that is to terminate Webstart.me. The sooner you do it, the better.
How to remove Webstart.me?
It is not that difficult to eliminate Webstart.me from your browsers. All you need to do is uninstall the adware from your system. Yo can do that manually or automatically. Manual Webstart.me removal instructions are provided below and you are welcome to use them. Keep in mind, however, that manual removal does not guarantee that all elements of the infection will be eliminated. Moreover, if you have other unwanted programs on your PC, you should delete those as well. That is why we suggest you implement an anti-malware utility which will not only erase Webstart.me and other threats, but also protect your computer from similar issues in the future.
