Configuring wireless under Arch Linux (or any distro for that matter) is a two-part process. The first part is to identify and ensure the correct driver for your wireless device is installed, (they are available on the installation media, so make sure you install them) and configure the interface. The second is choosing a method of managing wireless connections. This article covers both parts, and provides additional links to wireless management tools.
Part I: Identify your card and appropriate Driver
First steps
- Check to see whether the Linux kernel supports your hardware. You can find your card with 'lspci | grep -i net'. The Ubuntu Wiki has an extensive list of wireless cards and whether or not they are supported by available linux kernel drivers.
- Check the Linux Wireless Support page for your hardware or in The Linux Questions hardware compatibility list (HCL), which also has a good list of Linux-friendly hardware
- Also, this page has a matrix of supported hardware.
- If the hardware is supported only under Windows
- ndiswrapper for hardware supported only under Windows (some Broadcom, 3com, etc)
- You will need the .inf and .sys files from your Windows driver - check here
- If your hardware is not listed anywhere
- Try a web search for the exact model name of your hardware with the word "linux" - and feel free to ask for help on the forums
- There is a chance that your hardware will not function under GNU/Linux (however, this is rarely the case)
How it Works
The Arch kernel is modular, meaning many of the drivers for machine hardware reside on the hard drive and are available as modules. At boot, udev takes an inventory of your hardware. Udev will load appropriate modules (drivers) for your corresponding hardware, and the driver, in turn, will allow creation of a kernel interface.
The interface name for different drivers and chipsets will vary. Some examples are wlan0, eth1, and ath0.
- Note: Udev is not perfect. If the proper module is not loaded by udev on boot, simply modprobe it and add the module name to etc/rc.conf on the MODULES= line.
If you have wired internet available
If you have wired ethernet available, and are simply adding wireless functionality to an existing system, and did not include wireless_tools during initial installation, use pacman to install:
# pacman -S wireless_tools
The drivers' corresponding package names are all highlighted in bold on this page. The packages can be installed during initial package selection on the Arch installation media and can also be installed later with pacman, e.g.:
# pacman -S madwifi
If you have only wireless internet available
The wireless_tools package is now available as part of the base system and is also on the live installation media (CD/USB stick image) under the base-devel category.
You cannot initialize wireless hardware without these userspace tools, so ensure they are installed from the installer media, (during package selection), especially if you have no other means of networking other than wirelessly. Otherwise, you will be stuck in a recursion when you reboot your newly installed Arch system; you will need wireless_tools and drivers, but in order to get them, you will need wireless_tools and drivers.
Drivers and Firmware
Methods and procedures for installing drivers for various chipsets are covered below. In addition, certain chipsets require the installation of corresponding firmware. (Also covered below).
Packages: wlan-ng26-utils
This driver support PRISM based cards, which are hard to find now. The PRISM card is an IEEE 802.11 compliant 2.4 GHz DSSS WLAN network interface card that uses the Intersil PRISM chipset for its radio functions and the AMD PCNet-Mobile chip (AM79C930) for its Media Access Controller (MAC) function. The supported adapters can be found from here: http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz
For wlan-ng you do not need the wireless_tools package as mentioned above. Instead you will need to learn the tools in the wlan-ng26-utils package: wlancfg and wlanctl-ng.
See http://www.linux-wlan.org/
rt2860 and rt2870
In kernel since 2.6.29 and requires no extra packages. It can be configured using the standard wpa_supplicant and iwconfig tools.
It has a wide range of options that can be configured with iwpriv. These are documented in the source tarballs available from Ralink
For rt2870sta, also see Rt2870
Realtek rtl8180 PCI/Cardbus 802.11b now fully supported in the kernel. It can be configured using the standard wpa_supplicant and iwconfig tools.
Unified driver for Ralink chipsets (replaces rt2500,rt61,rt73 etc). In kernel since 2.6.24, some devices require extra firmware. It can be configured using the standard wpa_supplicant and iwconfig tools.
Some chips require a firmware file, which can be installed as follows, depending on the chipset:
pacman -S rt2x00-rt71w-fw
pacman -S rt2x00-rt61-fw
See the rt2x00 wiki page.
rt2500, rt61, rt73 (obsolete)
For Ralink's
* PCI/PCMCIA based rt2500 series chipsets. * PCI/PCMCIA based rt61 series chipsets * USB based rt73 series chipsets.
Drivers are now obsolete and unsupported. The rt2x00 driver family is stable and to be used instead.
Support standard iwconfig tools for unencrypted and WEP connections, although it can be quite sensitive to the order of commands. The driver does support WPA (using hardware encryption), but in a non-standard way. wpa_supplicant appears to include special support for this driver, and it is also possible to negotiate a WPA connection manually using iwpriv commands. See these instructions for details.
Package: madwifi
The module is called ath_pci. The newer module, ath5k, will eventually phase out ath_pci.
modprobe ath_pci
for the older driver, or:
modprobe ath5k
for the development version. Note that not all cards work with ath5k yet.
If using ath_pci, you may need to blacklist ath5k by adding it to the MODULES= array in /etc/rc.conf, and subsequently prefixing it with a bang (!):
MODULES=(!ath5k forcedeth snd_intel8x0 ... ...)
Some users may need to use the countrycode option when loading the MadWifi driver in order to use channels and transmit power settings that are legal in their country/region. In the Netherlands, for example, you would load the module like this:
modprobe ath_pci countrycode=528
You can verify the settings with the iwlist command. See man iwlist and the CountryCode page on the MadWifi wiki. To have this setting automatically applied during boot, add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
options ath_pci countrycode=528
ATTENTION: I had to remove the countrycode option completely or the ath0 device wasn't created (andyrtr, kernel 2.6.21)!
ath9k is Atheros' officially supported driver for the newer 11n chipsets. All of the chips with 11n capabilities are supported, with a maximum throughput around 180 Mbps. To see a complete list of supported hardware, check this page.
Working modes: Station, AP and Adhoc.
ath9k has been part of the kernel as of 2.6.27. But it has undergone some heavy development, and the changes haven't propagated to the mainline kernel tree yet. The best solution would be to use the compat-wireless package for now. A mailing list exists for support and development related discussions.
ipw2100 and ipw2200
Fully supported in the kernel, but requires additional firmware. It can be configured using the standard wpa_supplicant and iwconfig tools.
Depending on which of the chips you have, use either:
pacman -S ipw2100-fw
pacman -S ipw2200-fw
If installing after initial Arch installation, the module may need to be reloaded for the firmware to be loaded; run the following as root:
rmmod ipw2200 modprobe ipw2200
Enabling the radiotap interface
Launch the following (as root):
rmmod ipw2200 modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
Enabling the LED
Most laptops will have a front LED to indicate when the wireless is connected (or not). Run the following (as root) to enable this feature:
echo "options ipw2200 led=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/ipw2200.conf
or if using sudo:
echo "options ipw2200 led=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/ipw2200.conf
iwl3945, iwl4965 and iwl5000-series
Intel's open source WiFi drivers for Linux (See iwlwifi) will work for both the 3945 and 4965 chipsets since kernel v2.6.24. And iwl5000-series chipsets (including 5100BG, 5100ABG, 5100AGN, 5300AGN and 5350AGN) module has been supported since kernel 2.6.27, by the intree driver iwlagn.
# pacman -S iwlwifi-3945-ucode
# pacman -S iwlwifi-4965-ucode
# pacman -S iwlwifi-5000-ucode
If MOD_AUTOLOAD is set to yes in /etc/rc.conf (it is by default) that should be all that's required. Simply check for the presence of the drivers by running ifconfig -a from a terminal. There should be a listing for wlan0.
To manually load the driver at startup, edit /etc/rc.conf as root and add iwl3945 or iwl4965 respectively to the MODULES array. For example:
MODULES=( ... b44 mii iwl3945 snd-mixer-oss ...)
The drivers should now load after a reboot, and running ifconfig -a from a terminal should report wlan0 as a new network interface.
Other Notes
- The windows NETw4x32 driver can be used with ndiswrapper as an alternative to the iwl3945 and ipw3945 drivers
- In some cases (specifically a Dell Latitude D620 with Arch 2008.06, though it could happen elsewhere) after installation you may have both iwl3945 and ipw3945 in your MODULES=() section of rc.conf. The card will not work with both modules loaded, so you will have to ! out the ipw3945 module and then reboot or remove the module manually before you can use your wireless card.
- By default iwl3945 is configured to only work with networks on channels 1-11. Higher ranges are not allowed in some parts of the world (US). In the EU however channels 12 and 13 are used quite common. To make iwl3945 scan for all channels, add "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU" to /etc/modprobe.d/options. With "iwlist f" you can check which channels are allowed.
- If you want to enable more channels on Intel Wifi 5100 (and quite possible other cards too) you can do that with the crda package. After install, edit /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom and uncomment the line where your country code is found. Add wireless-regdom to your DAEMONS in rc.conf and restart (which is the easiest thing to do). You should now, when writing sudo iwlist wlan0 channel, have access to more channels (depending on your location).
ipw3945 (obsolete)
# pacman -S ipw3945 ipw3945-ucode ipw3945d
To initialize the driver on startup, edit /etc/rc.conf as root and add ipw3945 to the MODULES array and ipw3945d to the DAEMONS array. For example:
MODULES=(... mii ipw3945 snd-mixer-oss ...)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng ipw3945d network ...)
Note: The ipw3945d daemon must be inserted BEFORE network and dhcdbd/networkmanager in the array.
This should be part of the kernel package and be installed already.
Note: Some orinoco chipsets are Hermes I/II. You can use http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9637 to replace the orinoco driver and gain WPA support. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2154534#post2154534 for more information.
To use the driver I blacklisted orinoco_cs in rc.conf (!orinoco_cs in the modules array) and added wlags49_h1_cs to the modules array. Example:
MODULES=(!snd_pcsp !eepro100 !orinoco_cs wlags49_h1_cs)
Ndiswrapper is not a real driver, but you can use it when there are no native Linux drivers for your wireless chips. So it is very useful in some situations. To use it you need the *.inf file from your Windows driver (the *.sys file must also be present in the same directory). If you need to extract these files from an *.exe file, you can use either cabextract or wine. ndiswrapper is included on the installation CD.
Follow these steps to configure ndiswrapper.
ndiswrapper -i filename.inf ndiswrapper -l ndiswrapper -m depmod -a
Now the ndiswrapper install is almost finished; you just have to update /etc/rc.conf to load the module at boot (below is a sample of my config; yours might look slightly different):
MODULES=(ndiswrapper snd-intel8x0 !usbserial)
The important part is making sure that ndiswrapper exists on this line, so just add it alongside the other modules. It would be best to test that ndiswrapper will load now, so:
modprobe ndiswrapper iwconfig
and wlan0 should exist. Check this page if you're having problems: Ndiswrapper installation wiki.
Download the firmware driver for your appropriate card from this site. Rename the firmware file to 'isl3890'. If nonexistent, create the directory /lib/firmware and place the file 'isl3890' in it. This should do the trick. (forum source)
If that didn't work, try this:
- Reload the prism module (modprobe p54usb or modprobe p54pci, depending on your hardware)
alternatively remove your wifi card and then reconnect it
- Use the "dmesg" command, and look at the end of the output it prints out.
Look for a section looking like this:
firmware: requesting isl3887usb_bare p54: LM86 firmware p54: FW rev 220.127.116.11 - Softmac protocol 3.0
and try renaming the firmware file to the name corresponding to the part bolded here.
packages: tiacx tiacx-firmware
The driver should tell you which firmware it needs; check /var/log/messages.log or use the dmesg command.
Move the appropriate firmware to '/lib/firmware'. I did this:
ln -s /usr/share/tiacx/acx111_220.127.116.11/tiacx111c16 /lib/firmware
For another way to determine which firmware revision number to use, see the "Which firmware" section of the acx100.sourceforge wiki page page. For ACX100, you can follow the links provided there, to a table of card model number vs. "firmware files known to work"; you can figure out the rev. number you need, by looking at the suffix there. E.g. a dlink_dwl650+ uses "1.9.8.b", in which case you'd do this:
ln -s /usr/share/tiacx/acx100_1.9.8.b/* /lib/firmware
Hint: If you find that the driver is spamming your kernel log, for example because you're running Kismet with channel-hopping, you could put this in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
options acx debug=0
NOTE: The open-source acx driver does not support WPA/RSN encryption. NDISWRAPPER will have to be used with the windows driver to enable the enhanced encryption. See ndiswrapper, this page, for more details.
Broadcom users that have 43xx series chipsets have a new alternative to ndiswrapper. In kernel version 2.6.17, the bcm43xx driver was introduced.
- Run
hwd -sto determine that you have an appropriate card. My output of hwd -s looked like this:
Network : Broadcom Corp.|BCM94306 802.11g NIC module: unknown
For a list of supported devices, see here.
- Run
pacman -Sy b43-fwcutterto install the firmware cutter application.
- Download the Windows driver file for your card from which to extract the firmware.
- If you download the driver from Dell's website, you must run in on a Windows machine or under WINE (it is a .exe file that extracts itself to C:\Dell\[driver numbers]). Or you may try [1], [2] or [3]. I just saved this file to my desktop; you won't need it after the next step.
- Run
bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware /home/<user>/Desktop/wl_apsta.oYou may have to create /lib/firmware first.
- Restart, and configure your device as normal. You may want to add bcm43xx into the modules section of your rc.conf file. Good luck!
This driver is the successor to the bcm43xx driver, and is included in kernel 2.6.24.
- Run
lspcito determine that you have an appropriate card. My output of looked like this:
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
For a list of supported devices, see here.
Either install the "b43-firmware" package from AUR, or perform the following steps manually.
- Install the firmware cutter application from core. It is named "b43-fwcutter".
- Because now in core we have kernel >=2.6.25 we download version 126.96.36.199 of Broadcom's proprietary driver. The older version(18.104.22.168) will be drop in july.
wget http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-220.127.116.11.tar.bz2
- Unpack the compressed file.
tar xjf broadcom-wl-184.108.40.206.tar.bz2
- Change the current directory to the newly created directory, and then further to the driver folder:
cd broadcom-wl-126.96.36.199/driver
- Create /lib/firmware if you don't have and then Run
b43-fwcutter -w "/lib/firmware/" wl_apsta_mimo.o
- Restart, and configure your device as normal.
You may want to add b43 into the modules section of your rc.conf file.
MODULES=(...b43 !bcm43xx !ndiswrapper...)
Good luck!
For recent Broadcom 43xx cards not supported by bcm43xx or b43. Not just for 4312 cards. See the Broadcom 4312 wiki page. It is available in AUR. These chipsets are used in most Dell laptops, among others.
See the rtl8187 wiki page.
zd1211rw is a driver for the ZyDAS ZD1211 802.11b/g USB WLAN chipset and it is included in recent versions of the Linux kernel. See [4] for a list of supported devices. You only need to install the firmware for the device:
pacman -Sy zd1211-firmware
--Willey 22:32, 20 September 2008 (EDT)
Test Installation
After loading your driver run
and see if a wireless interface (wlanx, ethx, athx) is recognized
iwlist scan displays
Interface doesn't support scanning then you probably forgot to install the firmware.
Part II: Wireless Management
Assuming that your drivers are installed and working properly, you will need to choose a method for managing your wireless connections. The following subsections will help you decide the best way to do just that.
Procedure and tools you'll need will depend on several factors:
- The easiness of configuration management, from a completely manual setup procedure that you'll need to repeat at each boot to a software-managed, automatic, autostarting solution
- The encryption type (or not) that protects the wireless network
- If you need network profiles, i.e. if your computer will frequently change networks (such as a laptop)
Management methods
This table shows the different methods that can be used to activate and manage a wireless network connection, depending on the encryption and management types, and the various tools that are required. Although there may be other possibilities, these are the most frequently used:
|No encryption/WEP
|Manual, need to repeat at each computer reboot
ifconfig + iwconfig + dhcpcd/ifconfig
ifconfig + iwconfig + wpa_supplicant + dhcpcd/ifconfig
|Automatically managed, centralized without network profile support
|define interface in
|not covered
|Automatically managed, with network profiles support
Netcfg, wicd, NetworkManager, etc…
Whatever your choice, you should try to connect using the manual method first. This will help you understand the different steps that are required and debug them in case a problem arose. Another tip: if possible (e.g. if you admin your wifi access point), try connecting with no encryption, to check everything works. Then try using encryption, either WEP (simpler to configure) or WPA.
Manual setup
The programs provided by the package wireless_tools are the basic set of tools to set up a wireless network. Moreover, if you use WPA/WPA2 encryption, you will need the package wpa_supplicant. These powerful userspace console tools work extremely well and allow complete, manual control from the shell.
These examples assume your wireless device is
wlan0. Replace
wlan0 with the appropriate device name.
Template:Box Note
1. (Optional, may be required) Some cards require that the kernel interface be activated before you can use the wireless_tools:
# ifconfig wlan0 up
2. (Optional, may be required) See what access points are available:
# iwlist wlan0 scan
We assume you want to use the essid named
3. Depending on the encryption, you need to associate your wireless device with the access point to use and pass the encryption key.
- No encryption
# iwconfig wlan0 essid "MyEssid"
using an hexadecimal key:
# iwconfig wlan0 essid "MyEssid" key 1234567890
using an ascii key:
# iwconfig wlan0 essid "MyEssid" key s:asciikey
You need to edit the
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file as described in WPA_Supplicant. Then, issue this command:
# wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
This is assuming your device uses the
wext driver. If this does not work, you may need to adjust these options. Check WPA_Supplicant for more information and troubleshooting.
4. Finally, provide an IP address to the network interface. Simple examples are:
# dhcpcd wlan0
for DHCP, or
# ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.2 # route add default gw 192.168.0.1
for static IP.
Automatic connection - Network daemon
- The /etc/rc.conf file is sourced by the network script. Therefore, you may define and configure a simple wireless setup within /etc/rc.conf for a centralized approach with wlan_<interface>="<interface> essid <essid>" and INTERFACES=(<interface1> <interface2>). The name of the network goes in place of MyEssid.
For example:
# /etc/rc.conf eth0="dhcp" wlan0="dhcp" wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid MyEssid" # Unencrypted #wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid MyEssid key 1234567890" # hex WEP key #wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid MyEssid key s:asciikey" # ascii WEP key INTERFACES=(eth0 wlan0)
Not all wireless cards are
wlan0. Determine your wireless interface with ifconfig -a.
Atheros-based cards, for example, are typically
ath0, so change
wlan_wlan0 to:
wlan_ath0="ath0 essid MyEssid key 12345678"
Also define ath0 in the INTERFACES= line.)
- Alternatively, you may define wlan_<interface> within /etc/conf.d/wireless, (which is also sourced by the network script), for a de-centralized approach:
# /etc/conf.d/wireless wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid MyEssid"
Automatic connection - netcfg
netcfg provides a versatile, robust and fast solution to networking on Arch.
It uses a profile based setup and is capable of detection and connection to a wide range of network types. This is no harder than using graphical tools. Following the directions above, you can get a list of wireless networks. Then, as with graphical tools, you will need a password.
Detailed documentation Network Profiles
Notes for developmental version Network Profiles development
Other network managers
There are a number of wireless management solutions available to Arch Linux users as an alternative to the above.
Autowifi is a daemon that configures your wireless network automatically depending on the ESSID. Once configured, no user interaction is necessary and no GUI tools are required.
For more information, see the Autowifi wiki.
Wicd is a network manager that can handle both wireless and wired connections. It is written in Python and Gtk with fewer dependencies than NetworkManager, making it an ideal solution for lightweight desktop users. Wicd is now available in the extra repository for both i686 and x86_64.
For more information, see the Wicd wiki.
NetworkManager is an advanced network management tool that is enabled by default in most popular Linux distributions. In addition to managing wired connections, NetworkManager provides worry-free wireless roaming with an easy-to-use GUI program for selecting your desired network.
For more information, see the NetworkManager wiki.
Wifi Radar
WiFi Radar is Python/PyGTK2 utility for managing wireless profiles (and only wireless). It enables you to scan for available networks and create profiles for your preferred networks.
For more information, see the Wifi Radar wiki.
Wlassistant is a very intuitive and straightforward GUI app for managing your wireless connections.
Install with:
# pacman -S wlassistant
Wlassistant must be run with root privileges:
# sudo wlassistant
One method of using wlassistant is to configure your wireless card within /etc/rc.conf, specifying the access point you use most often. On startup, your card will automatically be configured for this essid, but if other wireless networks are needed/available, wlassistant can then be invoked to access them. Background the network daemon in /etc/rc.conf, by prefixing it with a @, to avoid boot delays.

News Release

Columbia N.H. Sand and Gravel Facility Faces Fine for Discharging Polluted Water
(Boston, Mass. – March 27, 2012) – CSG Holdings, Inc. of Columbia, N.H. faces a possible fine of up to $532,500 from EPA for allowing polluted stormwater and process water from its Columbia facility to flow into nearby waters, in violation of the Clean Water Act. CSG Holdings is the former operator of Columbia Sand and Gravel, a mining facility on the banks of the Connecticut River.
According to allegations in the complaint, CSG Holdings discharged process waste waters and stormwater from the facility without proper permits and violated the federal Oil Pollution Prevention Regulations by failing to prepare and implement a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan. The recent complaint against CSG Holdings states that the violations were discovered by EPA's New England office in 2010.
Stormwater monitoring by CSG Holdings confirmed that stormwater discharges from its sand and gravel mining and aggregate processing operations contain total suspended solids at levels that exceed permit benchmarks for their industrial sector. When a facility's stormwater discharges exceed benchmark levels, the facility must review its stormwater control measures to determine if changes are necessary and make these changes as needed.
The Clean Water Act prohibits the discharge of process waste waters without a permit. The law also requires that industrial facilities, such as sand and gravel facilities, have controls in place to minimize pollutants from being discharged with stormwater into nearby waterways. Each site must have a stormwater pollution prevention plan that sets guidelines and best management practices that the company will follow to prevent runoff from being contaminated by pollutants. Without on-site controls, runoff from sand and gravel facilities can flow directly to the nearest waterway and can cause water quality impairments such as siltation of rivers, beach closings, fishing restrictions, and habitat degradation. As stormwater flows over these sites, it can pick up pollutants, including sediment, used oil, and other debris. Polluted process water discharges or stormwater runoff can harm or kill fish and wildlife and can affect drinking water quality.
Every year, thousands of gallons of oil are spilled from oil storage facilities, polluting New England waters. Even the effects of smaller spills add up and damage aquatic life, as well as public and private property. Spill prevention plans are critical to prevent such spills or, if they do occur, adequately address them.
In May 2011, CSG Holdings sold its Columbia, N.H. facility to another owner/operator. The new owner maintains the facility's stormwater management system and is authorized to discharge stormwater under a general permit covering discharges from industrial facilities.

The PCs are stuck in a town with a strict peace policy, the tiniest scuffle can land you years in prison. The town also happens to be a tourist haven, so inn-prices have skyrocketed. The only way the PCs can rest is if they splurge on a room, with their enemy.

The Conference of the Parties
Underlining the special importance of designing and implementing incentive measures in reaching the objectives of the Convention, especially in regard to the sustainable use of biological diversity, as well as in removing negative impacts on biodiversity,
Recognizing the importance of incentive measures for other cross-cutting issues, such as access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from their utilization,
Underlining the need for cooperation and collaboration of international organizations in efforts to assist Governments in designing and implementing incentive measures,
Annex I
A. Identification of the problem: purpose and issue identification
B. Design
C. Provision of capacity and building of support: facilitating implementation
D. Management, monitoring and enforcement
E. Guidelines for selecting appropriate and complementary measures
Environmental taxes/charges
Maximize economic efficiency.
Easily understandable.
Rely on measurability of single components and on agreement about external cost values.
Can require extensive monitoring.
Applicable in situations where impacts are easily measurable (e.g., hunting) and sources of impacts can be easily monitored.
Market creation
Results in the most efficient allocation of resources between competing users, and generates appropriate prices for them.
Low monitoring requirements
May be imperfect where there are (large) external effects and/or monopolies.
Applicable where clearly defined property rights can be established and upheld for easily identifiable goods and services, and transaction costs are low enough.
Reforming or removing these incentives can lead to an easing of pressures on the environment, improved economic efficiency and reduced fiscal expenditures.
Perverse incentives can often be difficult to identify (lack of transparency).
They may be politically difficult to reform because of the strong opposition from recipients.
Applicable where clear benefits in terms of budgetary, economic efficiency and/or environmental goals can be identified and potential compensatory measures exist to facilitate the support removal process.
Legally binding.
Can target directly particular activities or processes.
Can be economically inefficient or costly method of achieving environmental goals, especially if proscribing certain technologies.
Strict enforcement is necessary.
May be complex and detailed.
Most applicable where there is a limited range of easily identifiable environmental impacts that need circumscription and/or where the number of actors is limited.
Environmental funds
Transparent and high visibility.
Positive public relations.
May not maximize economic efficiency.
May be inflexible because funds are earmarked to some extent.
Applicable where Governments have difficulties raising general funds, where fiscal infrastructure is weak and where clearly identifiable and highly popular causes exist.
Public financing
Popular with recipients.
Promotes desirable activities rather than prohibiting undesirable ones.
Requires funding.
May lead to economic inefficiencies.
May encourage rent-seeking behaviour.
Applicable in situations where desirable activities would not be undertaken without support or to create a differential in favour of such activities where it is not feasible to discourage the undesirable alternatives.
Annex II
The involvement of stakeholders including indigenous and local communities
Interlinkages between multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs)
Linking biodiversity to macro-economic policies
Ecosystem focus
Pilot projects/case-studies/workshops
Role of international organizations

Whatever your position on Tuesday's election results, this cannot be disputed: 2012 has been a great year for big money in politics, and an even greater year for secret big money in politics.
At least $213 million for which no source has been identified has gone into independent campaigns for the presidential and congressional candidates, according to Sunlight Foundation estimates, with about $4 going to Republican candidates for every $1 going to Democrats. Thanks to several Supreme Court rulings, organizations that proclaim themselves "social welfare" groups that provide "public education" don't have to identify their donors; they're more commonly known by their tax status: 501(c)(4). In recent years, many such groups — the best known of which is Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS — have been busily educating the public about everything that's wrong with the candidates and causes they don't like.
But the partial unraveling of one supply chain of secret money over the past week has exposed just how convoluted, and possibly criminal, this form of campaign finance has become. The story begins with an $11 million anonymous contribution to a right-wing California organization, the Small Business Action Committee, which campaigned against Proposition 30 — Gov. Jerry Brown's ballot measure to raise taxes on the wealthy to keep California's K-12 schools and public universities from making draconian cuts — and for Proposition 32, which would hamper unions from spending money on politics.
Even by California standards, $11 million is a lot of anonymous money. Under widespread pressure to disclose the donor, the Small Business Action Committee said it had gotten the check from Americans for Responsible Leadership, an Arizona-based group unknown to most politically sentient Arizonans. And as a 501(c)(4), Americans for Responsible Leadership claimed, it didn't have to tell anyone where it had gotten the $11 million.
California law, however, bans anonymous donations for or against state ballot measures. The state Fair Political Practices Commission took Americans for Responsible Leadership to court, and last week a California judge ordered the Arizona group to identify the donor. A state appellate court upheld that ruling, and on Sunday, the California Supreme Court — composed chiefly of justices appointed by Republican governors — ruled unanimously that Americans for Responsible Leadership had to identify its donors by the next morning.
At that point, the group's attorneys decided not to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, as they had previously pledged to. Instead, they released the name of the donor: yet another 501(c)(4), the Center to Protect Patient Rights, run by Sean Noble, a longtime associate of the billionaire Koch brothers. And where did the Center to Protect Patient Rights get its donation? From the Virginia-based group Americans for Job Security — still another entity whose tax status enables it to avoid disclosing the identity of its donors, at least in federal elections.
If you're keeping score at home, that's four levels of concealment. California's Fair Political Practices Commission is still pursuing the source of the donation and hasn't ruled out further civil or even criminal action.
The most interesting aspect of all this unraveling, however, is the decision by the campaign groups' attorneys not to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. If they had, the case would have gone first to the justice with jurisdiction over California: Anthony Kennedy, the driving force behind the 2010 Citizens United decision that allowed a flood of corporate money into elections. But Kennedy has also defended the need for disclosure of campaign contributions. Indeed, he wrote in the Citizens United ruling that "prompt disclosure of expenditures can provide shareholders and citizens with the information needed to hold corporations and elected officials accountable for their positions and supporters."
Bizarrely, Kennedy's opinion seemed to assume that such disclosure provisions were already in place. Confronted with a unanimous decision from the California Supreme Court requiring donors to make the very disclosures that he had extolled, Kennedy might have set the U.S. Supreme Court on a course toward mandatory disclosures — thereby undermining a centerpiece of the Republican electoral machinery. (A bill mandating such disclosures came before the Senate in July, and though it had majority support — 51 Democrats voted for it, and 44 Republicans against — it failed to garner the 60-vote supermajority on which the Republicans insisted before allowing it to move forward.)
Given the balance of power in the other two branches of government, it's up to the court — and in particular, swing Justice Kennedy — to drive secret money out of American democracy. If he doesn't, that still-unsourced $11 million may look like chump change by the midterm elections of 2014.

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The fate of Sanctuary will soon rest in the hands of PlayStation gamers around the world. Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced that it is developing Diablo® III, the latest entry in its award-winning action–role-playing-game series, for the Sony PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. The company also today confirmed plans to adapt the game for Sony's newly announced PlayStation®4, its next-generation computer entertainment system.
The PS3™/PS4™ version of Diablo III will be based on the critically acclaimed core experience of the PC version, including all of the latest upgrades, such as the Paragon leveling system, customizable Monster Power, Brawling, and epic Legendary items. In addition, Blizzard is designing an all-new user interface, including an intuitive control scheme and a new dynamic camera perspective, that will make questing and combat in the world of Sanctuary feel like second nature on PlayStation platforms. Players will be able to battle their way through the story in single-player mode and also experience the hack-and-slash joy of destroying demons and collecting loot together with their friends via seamless four-player online and local co-op modes.
Blizzard also announced today that the PS3 version of Diablo III will be shown live at PAX East, taking place at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center from March 22–24. Attendees there will be the first in the world to pick up a controller and experience the fast-paced action and visceral gameplay of Diablo III via the new custom-designed interface.
"Diablo III looks and plays great on the PlayStation," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We put a lot of care and thought into the PlayStation version to make sure it would deliver an authentic Diablo gaming experience, and we're really pleased with the results. We can't wait for players to try it out at PAX East."
Diablo III continues the epic Diablo storyline, with players taking on the role of one of five heroic characters—barbarian, witch doctor, wizard, monk, or demon hunter—and embarking on a perilous quest to save the world of Sanctuary from the corrupting forces of the Burning Hells. As players adventure through rich and varied settings, they'll engage in pulse-pounding combat with hordes of monsters and challenging bosses, grow in experience and ability, acquire artifacts of incredible power, and meet key characters who'll join them in battle or aid them along the way. Diablo III was originally released for Windows® and Macintosh® PC on May 15, 2012 and within 24 hours became the fastest-selling PC game of all time. As of December 31, 2012, Diablo III had sold through more than 12 million copies worldwide.*
To learn more about Diablo III, please visit the official website at http://www.diablo3.com. Further details about Blizzard's plans for the PlayStation versions of the game will be announced on the site as development progresses. With multiple games in development, Blizzard Entertainment has numerous positions currently available—visit http://jobs.blizzard.com for more information and to learn how to apply.
* According to The NPD Group, GfK Chart-Track, and internal company estimates.

The Normal Basis Theorem: If $E/F$ is a finite Galois extension, then there exists $a \in E$ such that the orbit of $a$ under the action of $\mathrm{Gal}(E/F)$ is a basis for $E$ as a vector space over $F.$
Who discovered this?
I've looked through the collected works of Frobenius and Dedekind, which are the earliest works I've seen referring to it, but it looks like the theorem led Dedekind to what is called the group determinant, and he doesn't give a reference. (p. 433 of Dedekind's Gesammelte Werke, v. 2, via Curtis's Pioneers of Representation Theory. See KConrad's answer below.) Among others, I've also looked at some of the correspondence of Hasse and Noether. The works are in German, which is second language to me, so it's possible I missed something. Needless to say, I've searched using Google to no avail. If anyone knows something, I'd be very grateful.

WoW!..my 1st real astrophotography image. It's been a frustrating journey but this 1st image really gave me a boost to keep working at it. Lots of room for improvement but it's a great start. To think this was taken at home in really lite polluted skys is pretty encouraging.

Catching a green flash is getting easier. Takes a little timing and luck. Here's the info if your interested.

Had some cloud cover but managed to get a few nice images..here's one.

I put together an image sequence of the eclipse for the 1st time in photoshop. It was fun actually. :-)
Messier 5
Spanning 165 light-years in diameter, M5 is one of the larger globular clusters known. The gravitational sphere of influence of M5, (i.e. the volume of space in which stars are gravitationally bound to it rather than being torn away by the Milky Way's gravitational pull) has a radius of some 200 light-years.
At 13 billion years old, M5 is also one of the older globulars associated with the Milky Way Galaxy. Its distance is about 24,500 light-years from Earth and the cluster contains more than 100,000 stars, as many as 500,000 according to some estimates.
The North America Nebula (NGC 7000 or Caldwell 20) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb (the tail of the swan and its brightest star). The remarkable shape of the nebula resembles that of the continent of North America, complete with a prominent Gulf of Mexico.

Weekly Wire: the Global Forum
These are some of the views and reports relevant to our readers that caught our attention this week.
Two Guides You Must Read Before Using Mobile Technology for Behavior Change
"As the desire to utilize mobile phones in international health projects has increased in the last few years, organizations continually ask a similar question, "We want to use mobile phones. Now what?" But the decision to introduce or start a mhealth project needs to come after answering many questions before "now what?" especially when dealing with behavior change communication projects. Enter Abt Associates, FrontlineSMS, and Text to Change. Two guides have recently been released to help organizations assess whether or not mobiles are the right tool, and if they are, the process moving forward. One is from Abt Associates and is entitled mBCC Field Guide: A Resource for Developing Mobile Behavior Change Communication Programs. The other one was created in collaboration between FrontlineSMS and Text to Change and is entitled Communications for change: How to use text messaging as an effective behavior change campaigning tool."

What's for dinner at the World Scout Jamboree?
The options are limited only by a patrol's imagination.
It's one of the coolest things I've seen at this jamboree: Meal planning.
At most jamboree events, the patrol has a set menu for each dinner. The staff provides the ingredients, and the patrol cooks exactly that.
Here's how it works at the World Scout Jamboree: Patrols get a certain number of points per day. They can use those points to buy grocery items at a large store near their camp.
They can find ideas in the official jamboree cookbook, which includes recipes from around the world. Or they can get creative and make anything they want.
It gets better. Healthier foods, such as fruit and vegetables, cost fewer points than junk food items—unlike at a real grocery store, I should point out.
I think it's impressive that the World Scout Jamboree actually encourages Scouts to make healthy choices—for 10 days, at least. It also teaches Scouts about grocery shopping in a store that feels like one they'd see back home.
Sure, patrols could eat cinnamon rolls or chocolate cake every day, but they couldn't afford much more than that. Great idea.

Stop this massive corporate power grab.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a terrible "trade" deal being negotiated in secret by the governments of a dozen countries (including ours) colluding with corporate interests.
Under the TPP, more American jobs would be offshored. Internet freedom would be a joke. Developing countries would lose access to lifesaving medicines. Unsafe foods and products could pour into our country. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Our best shot to stop the TPP is right now.
The enactment of the TPP will hinge upon the passage of so-called "fast-track trade authority," which would allow the president to sign off on the TPP before the American people or Congress ever have a chance to read it.
A fast-track bill was introduced in Congress last week. So we need to speak out today.
Tell Congress: Say NO to fast-track trade authority.
You might think such a far-reaching proposal as the TPP would be subject to intense public debate. But the text of the proposed deal is considered classified by our government and even members of Congress have been given extremely limited access to it.
Yet, while the government has kept the public and Congress largely in the dark about the TPP, it has given 600 corporate advisers access to the full text of the proposal.
We know the little we do know about the deal because drafts of some of its chapters have been leaked. And what we know isn't pretty.
A draft of the "intellectual property rights" chapter of the TPP was leaked recently, and according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, it "reflects a terrible but unsurprising truth: an agreement negotiated in near-total secrecy, including corporations but excluding the public, comes out as an anti-user wish list of industry-friendly policies."1
That's only one chapter, when there are many other chapters that haven't been leaked.
The first stage in the plan to pass the TPP is a big push for Congress to pass fast-track trade authority, which would short-circuit the typical legislative process when trade deals like the TPP come up for a vote.
Pressured by giant corporate interests that stand to make huge amounts of money on the deal, and faced with a public that has purposefully been kept ignorant about this deal, it's not hard to see how the TPP could be rammed through Congress if fast-track trade authority is in place.
Tell Congress: Say NO to fast-track trade authority.
Fast-track trade authority would allow the president to sign a trade deal before Congress has an opportunity to approve it. Then the president could send it to Congress with the guarantee that it would get an up-or-down vote within 90 day.
Fast track would mean there would be no meaningful hearings, limited debate and absolutely no amendments to the deal. And there would be tremendous pressure on Congress to rubberstamp anything the president signs.
The recently leaked drafter chapter is a huge red flag about the kind of terrible policies the Obama administration wants to include in the TPP.
The Constitution gives Congress exclusive authority over trade. And it would be a deeply irresponsible abdication of responsibility for Congress to pass fast track when we know the TPP is coming down the pike, especially when we know the consequences of the TPP could be disastrous.
It's the job of Congress to fully vet trade deals and ensure they work for everyone, not just giant corporations.
Tell Congress: Say NO to fast-track trade authority.
Thank you for speaking out. Your activism matters.

09-07-2007, 05:46 AM #1Has anyone used MiniDisc on their Mac?
The SONY MZ-RH1 looks like a good purchase especially as my wife is involved in a local community radio. It would come in handy for vox-pop interviews as well as a personal music player! It's basially a mobile sound studio as far as I can see :-)
Has anyone got one? Is it any good?iBook G4 933Mhz / MacBook Pro (2012) with internal Blu-Ray Burner & Amiga fanatic

I don't know about that exact model but our radio production studio at college used Mini-Discs for that exact reason (vox-pops, interviews, on-location news reports etc).
They weren't used with Macs because the DAWs in the radio room where all Windows machines. Judging from the set up we had though, I don't see any reason why you couldn't hook it up to a Mac: 3.5" minijack cable from the headphone port (or a TOSlink cable if it supports digital/optical out) to the line-in port of the Mac. Boot up your choice of sound recording/editing software, chose the input, hit record, hit play on the mini-disc and boom.
Our setup was much more complicated with multiple input/output sound cards hooked up to Hi-Fi component mini-disc players through an amp, in turn connected to some beefy speakers; all with optical/digital connections, but the process is essentially the same.
Also I wouldn't really use a Mini-Disc for music playback; not that you can't, I'd just figure it's more hassle than it's worth. It found it's place great for recording stuff; loss-less digital format with an "analogue" way of getting the audio from the disc to the computer bypassing concerns about audio formats and compression that come with DAPs and with much higher quality than cassettes. But for music playback? It never really took off because it was far too complicated to get your music on there; it really is like going back to creating mixtapes. My advice it to get the Mini-Disc and something like an iPod shuffle or nano. Much more enjoyable experience, much quicker, and much easier.Koalas: The mafia of the animal kingdom.

Cool! I'm informed however that MiniDisc on the Mac was not supported directly until 2006 on the release of the new Hi-MD players including the SONY MZ-RH1.
I've also heard the functionality of the Mac software is limited compared to the PC version. i.e. old SP and LP recorded tracks cannot be uploaded to a Mac only Hi-MD tracks!
This doesn't effect it's suitability for radio work however. It's just annoying from a iTunes jukebox perspective, as I have a catalogue of tunes on old minidiscs, and it would be great if I could upload them to my Mac!iBook G4 933Mhz / MacBook Pro (2012) with internal Blu-Ray Burner & Amiga fanatic

I use to use a minidics player,not is collecting dust in my closet. Sony's jukebox software was horrible. Mine was a N1 so it didn't have any Hi-MD capabilities. I know last time i read about the minidisc world there were talks about usb uploading of mic recorded content. Before usb was only moving atrac content to minidisc. Then sony finally listened and started using mp3's instead of having to convert all your mp3's to atrac. Shortly after i bought my ipod (about 2 years ago) they starting allowing usb uploads from md to pc/mac. Before it was only one way, to md.

I haven't used my minidisc in a while, the main problem i had was the ATRAC system, it is great (better than MP3 IMHO) but not as compatible. I'm pretty sure there should be some other options around that work with MP3, Sony as far as i know is not too kind with OSX.
In case you don't know this site: http://www.minidisc.org/index.php you may be able to find better answers there.[is pointless to click here]

Yeah, more's the pity as it was a great format otherwise:
I had one of the original sharp players and they were miles better than discman players for music on the go...
But buying one today is like buying a HD-DVD player: You're buying into a dead format. Finding content and blank discs will just get harder and harder and your wife will have to capture her recordings back to the computer in real time if she ever wants to do any editing...
Sony are selling the new Hi-MD minidiscs in enough numbers to continue support. They are selling them with Digital editing and field recording in mind, an area where the minidisc still retains a significant advantage over the iPod.
I recently received an email back from Sony in regards to my grievance over PCs being better supported than the Mac. This was the response I recieved and is a bit diappointing really :-(
Dear BigD
I am sorry to learn that the software recommended in my previous communication does not meet your requirements.
Although I understand that this is frustrating for you, we have sold many MZ-RH1 units, and have had positive feedback from our customers regarding this product. Sony United Kingdom Limited does attempt to meet, and often exceed, our customers' expectations.
Having said this, it is with regret that on some occasions a product may not suit each individual's specific requirements. While we are unable to assist directly on this occasion, I have logged your case with us as a complaint and as such, this will automatically get fed back to the products designers. Whilst they will not look to contact you directly as a result of this, you can be sure that at least your view on this will be recognised.
Regrettably I do not have any information relating to the possible release of future software updates for this product.
I apologise for any disappointment that this may cause.
Yours sincerely

Dear Sony
I already have this transfer software and it states:
"You can import audio data recorded in Linear PCM, Hi-SP or Hi-LP mode on the Macintosh-compatible Hi-MD Walkman to a Macintosh computer after converting to WAV format audio data.(1)"
So, although transfer is possible it's only if it is recorded in PCM, Hi-SP or Hi-LP formats, NOT standard SP, LP2 and LP4 formats! This feature is available for the PC and I was wondering why it still hasn't been included in the Mac software nearly a year and a half after release of the MZ-RH1?

Is anyone else bothered that although Sony are now supporting the Mac with MiniDisc Transfer Software, they have released a sub-standard set of specifications compared to the PC. How much effort would it take to upgrade the specs of the software to be in line with the PC version?iBook G4 933Mhz / MacBook Pro (2012) with internal Blu-Ray Burner & Amiga fanatic

Bought one this month!!!! My wifes very happy with it and used it to record some interviews with some Christian Rock bands playing in the local Cathedral tonight- v cool ;-) A doddle to upload to Mac as WAV files (5 minutes for 700mb of wav sound files) and then edit in Audacity. Cool bit of kit.

01-18-2013, 09:16 PM #14The MZ-RH1 4.1/2 years on!
4 and 1/2 years on and I've got the MZ-RH1 uploading my LP2 and LP4 minidiscs to my Mac! All is not lost and I've basically future proofed my music collection by giving me the option to copy my old Minidisc onto another MP3 player if I want to.
How did I do it you ask? VM Fusion 5 and an old copy of Windows XP. Sometimes to get features companies only build into the Windows version of their CE software you have to run Windows on your Mac.
The MZ-RH1 Minidisc is still going strong for field recordings and my wife helped collect vox-pops for a Christmas feature using it. The final feature was eventually broadcast on a string of local radios round the UK on Christmas Eve! I was so impressed with her machine that I got one myself for my birthday last year (probably my last chance to buy a MiniDisc player :-(). It is really great build quality and will outlast my mum's iPod Nano for sure.
I get the feeling iPods are more fashion symbols than great products. The Nano doesn't even have AM on the radio to listen to BBC Radio 5live (sport radio) even though my old MZ-G755 Minidisc had both AM & FM back in 2002!iBook G4 933Mhz / MacBook Pro (2012) with internal Blu-Ray Burner & Amiga fanatic

When Shell lost control of its drill rig Noble Discoverer last week near Dutch Harbor, Alaska, many wondered, "How on earth could they have let that happen?" Shell spokespeople in Anchorage claimed that the vessel "drifted near shore," despite numerous eyewitness accounts that the ship ran aground and became stuck until a tug boat pulled it free. Photographs quickly emerged that call Shell's claims into question.
It's no surprise that a huge oil company bent on profits from Arctic drilling would mount a desperate effort to control public perception of such an accident. But because this happened in a protected harbor instead of miles from shore, Shell's dubious claims must contend with eyewitnesses, photographs, journalists, and a US Coast Guard investigation. So far, the Coast Guard has said that, "While the vessel master reported he did not believe the vessel grounded, this cannot be confirmed by the Coast Guard at this time" and media accounts state that the investigation may take weeks or months.
However, key questions remain about the scope of the Coast Guard's investigation. The Obama administration's top official on offshore drilling, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, recently said that if Shell's plans for Arctic drilling move forward, "it will be done under the most watched program in the history of the United States." So the captain of the Greenpeace ship Esperanza, which is currently in Alaska to study the marine habitats where Shell hopes to drill this summer, has requested details from the Coast Guard about its investigation of the loss of control of the Noble Discoverer. These questions include:
As Shell breaks more and more promises in its rush to drill in the Arctic, we hope the Coast Guard will conduct a thorough and detailed investigation, and demonstrate the Obama administration's promise of the "most watched program in the history of the United States."

After 27 attempts to sway the California parole board to grant him freedom, a convicted murderer described as Charles Manson's "right-hand man" may have finally achieved his goal on Thursday when a panel recommended parole for 69-year-old Bruce Davis.
Davis, convicted with Manson and another man in two murders unrelated to the infamous Sharon Tate murders in 1969, has been imprisoned for 40 years.
"Bruce Davis was Charles Manson's chief lieutenant," said Stephen Kay, Manson Family prosecutor. "Somebody is going to wake up and find Bruce Davis is their neighbor. I wouldn't want to be that person."
U.S. & World
Davis appeared before the parole board on Thursday at the California Men's Colony at San Luis Obispo, where Davis is imprisoned. The board's decision came on the eve of Davis' 70th birthday.
A parole board determined in 2010 that Davis was ready for release, but then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reversed the decision citing the heinous nature of the crimes. Gov. Jerry Brown has the final say on decisions by the current parole board.
Davis' attorney says his client discovered God in prison and is a changed man, describing him as a "good, solid citizen."
"I think he would want you to know how very sorry he is for the role in the Manson family crime spree," said Michael Beckman, Davis' attorney.
"I think he is going to be a minister. He's had offers in the past to be a minister at various churches, and that's what I think he wants to do."
Still, family members of Manson Family victims are not buying it.
Manson and his followers shot to infamy in 1969 after the murders of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and four others at a Benedict Canyon home in the hills above Los Angeles. That rampage was followed the next night by the murders of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca in their Los Feliz home.
Though not involved in the Tate/LaBianca murders, Davis was convicted along with another man in 1972 slayings of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman Donald "Shorty" Shea at Chatsworth ranch where Manson and his followers lived.
The Hinman family asked Sharon Tate's sister, Debra, to speak on their behalf in light of Thursday's decision.
"Gary Hinman was tortured for three days. This was especially heinous for the Manson Family," Tate said. "In speaking with the (Hinman) family members, they are absolutely devastated."
Former Manson follower Barbara Hoyt described Davis as looking to move up in the Family.
"Charlie was definitely the leader, but Bruce was wanting to be up there too, and knowing the family business was murder, he wanted to lead, not just follow," Hoyt said. "So I think he's very dangerous."

Lech Walesa, former Poland President. How to pronounce Lech Walesa in English?
My dad speaks some Polish, and when he pronouces "Lech" he sounds like a cat trying to bring up a hairball, so I can't begin to figure out how to type it phonetically.
In the US, the newscasters usually pronounce it "Leck Wal-LAY-sah", but I'm sure that's no where close to the way Mr. Walesa says it.
I have heard 'Vawessa' as well as 'Walaysah' in the UK, but I have no idea whether it's right or not.
The "CH" at the end of his first name is similar to the "CH" in German - a kind of a soft "K" sound with a strong hiss - also similar to the Scottish word "Loch"
The "W" at the start of his surname is pronounced as a "V"
The third letter in his surname is a diacritic character - a "l" with a slash through it. It's pronounced like a "W" in English.
So I would guess the best guide would be
le-H VAWessa
At least that's my understanding...
If you want to sound Polish-like, you should pronounce the name as follows:
Le(h) = (like the 'h' in how)
Va'(wh) = (like the 'wh' in what) ensa
Otherwise, try the following:
Le(ck) Va'lensa (the easiest to say, I guess ).
I'm Polish by birth, nationality, origin, and so on...
The punctuation mark ' means the primary stress.
Lech Wałęsa: lek (or as in Polish lex) va:'wents (English Pronouncing Dictionary, Daniel Jones 17 th Edition)

Digital Map to Track Corruption Launches in Colombia
"A new digital mapping tool to track and monitor corruption in Colombia on a national scale, launched July 24th a result of our partnership with the Consejo de Redacción, a country-wide organization of investigative journalists.
The "Monitor de Corrupción" (or "Corruption Monitor") will provide journalists and citizens a platform to submit reports that will expose and map incidents of corruption.
It's a project I anticipate will contribute to making Colombia a more transparent and stronger society. The idea for this grew out of another similar project by Knight Fellow Jorge Luis Sierra." READ MORE

Like the Mesh Exporter it will also export all Torque3d base nodes found in the scene (base01,start01,collision-1 and colbox-1 for now). You have to make sure those are visible and that the hierarchy is correctly set.
The resulting OpenCollada DAE will be exported using the Layer name as filename.
How it work:
- Select one object per layer you want to export
- Open the T3D Layer Exporter Dialog, the selected objects will be listed with the Layer name (this is the name used for the exported model)
- If it's the first time you export them or if the destination folder have change, you need to select the objects in the list and browse to the export destination.
- Once the destination is set, it is stored in all the objects inside the parent layer so next time you want to export the layer, you can select any object and the destination will be already set
- When all objects have a valid destination, you simply hit EXPORT and it will export all objects in all selected layers as single objects
- By default the exporter will move all pivot to origin but you can disable that by checking the box: Keep objects positions (No origin)
- By default the exporter will always export T3D nodes found but you can disable that by checking the box: Dont include Node Structure
- By default the exporter won't popup the OpenCollada export dialog and will use the last settings but you can make the export prompt appear for each models by checking: Show the OpenCollada export prompt
- Since 3ds Max use Autodesk COLLADA as default, you need to export something as OpenCollada before using the exporter, you only need to make it once/session. Usually I select something random, and export it as OpenCollada in default export folder over the same file everytime. I haven't find a way to set the export script to use OpenCollada always...
- Another important thing that could be forgotten is to make sure everything you export is visible (even the nodes) else they won't be exported.
- When the move to origin option is selected, the objects will be moved back to original position after export but not the collision mesh which are all at 0 0 0 position. (Planning to fix it soon)
- All the objects you want to export must be a direct child of the layer, they can't be in a sub layer (Planned fix in future release)
I have arranged it quickly for public sharing but there's some improvements that I'm planning. Here's a quick list:
- Allow to simply select the layer
- Include all the sublayers objects in the export so you can still organize your objects
- add the destination after the object name in list so it's easy to know the destination set for all objects. For now, you can see the destination by selecting object individually and looking in the browse text area.
- Allow to specify a layer that contain common things to be export with all objects. For example, you put your nodes in that layers and can add custom nodes as you need, like lights Nodes.
- Allowing to customize the associated name matching to be exported with the layer (EX: Export all objects containing the LayerName: ColMeshLayerName-1)
I have attached the scripts to the post. The installation is like other macro, you have to run the script once (or simply Drag and Dropping it in 3ds Max ui). Then to add a button in toolbar, you right-click the toolbar, select customize. Then you go to ToolBar tab and you will find it under category #T3DTools (The # make it list on top).

- US$10 million received based on the positive review of interim
analysis for international pivotal multiple sclerosis trial -
EDMONTON, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - BioMS Medical Corp. (TSX: MS), a leading developer in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), today announced that it has received the US$10 million milestone payment from its partner, Eli Lilly and Company.
The milestone payment is based on the previously announced positive review of the scheduled interim analysis of the Company's pivotal phase II/III Canadian and European trial (MAESTRO-01) of dirucotide (MBP8298) in patients with secondary progressive MS. The independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) for the MAESTRO-01 trial recommended that the trial proceed to completion based on the interim analysis which included efficacy and safety data from the first 200 patients to complete the trial.
To date, BioMS has received a total of US$97 million in payments from Eli Lilly and Company, based on the licensing and development agreement for dirucotide (MBP8298). An additional $400 million in milestone payments are possible under the terms of the licensing agreement, in addition to escalating royalties on sales.
"We are pleased that our partner has recognized the outcome of the
interim analysis as a significant positive event," said Kevin Giese,
President and CEO of BioMS Medical. "We look forward to completing the

How to Create a Store Template
Storefront templates are very useful and can save a lot of time when listing cards. These templates will act as presets, so you don't have to fill in the same details each time you list an item. Note that even if you create a template and use it to list an item, you will still be able to edit some details once you have listed it with your template (for example, you can edit the starting price specifically for an item). In this article, you will find out how to create your own templates. It is highly recommended that you create one, as it will speed up the process of listing cards.

OR, when you list a card in your store [I plan to create a help page for this, and will have the bolded linked to that page], you will be prompted by this page:
Follow the link, or click Add Store Item With Template.
From here, you can start adding details to your template.
These include:
Template name - the name you would like to call this template (i.e. $1.00 starting auctions)
Sport (i.e. hockey)
Product (i.e. Single)
Year (i.e. 2009)
Additional year (i.e. 2009-10)
Manufacturer (i.e. Upper Deck)
Auction Type & Pricing Infomation
Duration (i.e. 7 days)
Currency (i.e. USD)
Payment (i.e. PayPal)
Auction / Buy It, Accept offer Yes / No - here you can choose the type of auction
Card Attributes: Rookie/Autograph/Memorabilia/Serial/Print Run
Item condition, Graded
**Item description - a general description you would like to have in all your auctions. You can be very generic here, as most of the card information will already be inserted (see note below). You can include information such as how you will ship (with a toploader, bubble mailer), how many days you expect payment, etc.
You will also be able to edit the look of your description by using BB code. You can change the font color or size, and also bold, italicize, or underline words.
*Note: When you list cards from the database, some information will automatically be pulled, and override any information you may have put in the template. The information that will be pulled is noted in blue in the above section.
**Note: Again, when listing cards from the database, the card name will automatically be inserted as the first line in your item description.
You will also set your shipping costs for the template.
It is required to set a cost for all regions, and if you do not ship to that region, you can check the "Not selling/shipping to ..." box.
You must also include what shipping service you will use and approximately how long it may take you to ship out the item(s).
After you finish, click submit!
