Project Objective
The project objective is to improve the representational faithfulness of accounting for insurance and reinsurance contracts by clarifying what constitutes transfer of significant insurance risk in insurance and reinsurance contracts. Transfer of significant insurance risk is required for contracts to be considered insurance or reinsurance and to be accounted for as such. The resulting increased transparency in accounting and reporting by insurance contract policyholders, insurers, and reinsurers should help users of financial statements better understand the economic impact of those contracts. The project will address the accounting for both buyers and sellers of insurance and reinsurance contracts.
Due Process Documents
On May 26, 2006, the Board issued an Invitation to Comment, Bifurcation of Insurance and Reinsurance Contracts for Financial Reporting. The Invitation to Comment solicits constituent input on (1) possible approaches for bifurcating insurance and reinsurance contracts into insurance and financing components and related implementation issues and (2) draft definitions of insurance contracts and related terms based on definitions and related guidance in IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, (Appendices A and B). The comment deadline ended August 24, 2006.
Invitation to Comment (posted 05-26-06)
All comment letters received by the FASB are considered public and are posted to the website. A summary of the comment letters received is also available.
*Immediate Plans
On June 11, 2008, as part of the Board's review of its technical plan and its process to update the Memorandum of Understanding with the IASB, the Board removed the insurance risk transfer project from its agenda because it plans to consider at a future date whether to address insurance accounting in a joint project with the IASB. No further work is anticipated on this project.
*Summary of Decisions Reached to Date
This project has been removed from the Board's agenda.
*Board (Other) Public Meetings
The Board meeting minutes are provided for the information and convenience of constituents who want to follow the Board's deliberations. All of the conclusions reported are tentative and may be changed at future Board meetings. Decisions become final only after a formal written ballot to issue a final Statement or Interpretation.
The following are links to the minutes for each meeting.

Related FASB and Other Articles
Insurance policyholders, including noninsurance enterprises, are subject to FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, paragraph 44, which requires that an insurance contract indemnify the insured against loss. The guidance in the AICPA Technical Practice Aid, Accounting by Noninsurance Enterprises for Property and Casualty Insurance Arrangements That Limit Insurance Risk, provides additional information to assist noninsurance enterprise policyholders in assessing whether an insurance contract provides such indemnification.
Background Information
A number of issues arose concerning the determination of whether an insurance or reinsurance contract transfers significant insurance (reinsurance) risk. The determination of significant risk transfer is necessary to determine whether the contract is accounted for as an insurance or reinsurance arrangement or whether it is accounted for as a financing arrangement (similar to a loan). Also, certain finite risk or financial insurance and reinsurance contracts contain risk-limiting features that can make the risk transfer analysis difficult. Statement 5, paragraph 44, requires that all insurance and reinsurance contracts indemnify the insured against loss or liability. Statement 113 provides further guidance for determining the transfer of significant insurance risk for reinsurance arrangements. Those contracts that do not transfer significant insurance risk are accounted for as deposits (similar to a financing or loan, with loan repayments taking the form of periodic insurance premium payments).
Regardless of whether a policyholder is a noninsurance or insurance enterprise, only to the extent that an insurance (or reinsurance) contract indemnifies or transfers significant insurance risk from the policyholder to the insurer does it qualify for insurance accounting. This project's objective is to define an insurance contract and provide further assistance in identifying those contracts that transfer significant insurance risk. In the Invitation to Comment, the Board requested feedback on draft definitions of insurance contract and insurance risk as well as the notion of bifurcation of insurance contracts into risk transfer and financing segments for purposes of establishing the appropriate accounting for those contract segments.

The United States and the Salvadoran Civil War
Associate Professor of History Virginia Burnett speaks with exhibitions intern Joey Kolker about memory and human rights in El Salvador, 15 years after the signing of peace accords that ended the country's civil war. Burnett is a co-organizer of the April 2008 conference Image, Memory, and the Paradox of Peace, jointly sponsored by the University's Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice, the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies, the School of Journalism, and the Harry Ransom Center. As part of this collaboration, the Ransom Center presented the photography exhibition Inside El Salvador.
JOEY KOLKER: So, how does El Salvador's civil war fit into the broader history of Central America in the last years of the Cold War?
VIRGINIA BURNETT: Well, it is the million-dollar question, because the Salvadoran civil war is part and parcel of the last phase of the Cold War. But I see it as kind of a proxy war, actually. The Reagan administration, when it took over in 1980, was very interested in some sort of a final showdown with the Soviet Union, but not a nuclear showdown with the Soviet Union. The Salvadoran civil war had actually already started at that point and of course, there were Marxist guerrillas who wanted to take over the country. So in that sense it really is a Cold War scenario, but the objective of the Reagan administration was to find a way to have actually a head-to-head, as I said, with the Soviet Union. This was not a very dangerous venue. We were not going to go to nuclear war—anybody—over El Salvador. And so, during the Reagan years, the confrontation in El Salvador, the civil war in El Salvador—which really was a civil war between two sides within El Salvador—became a global confrontation, between the East and the West. It took on a much larger status than it had had in the popular imagination of the United States, and we became very directly involved in it.
I'm sure you're familiar already with Jeane Kirkpatrick's symmetry theory. She eventually, of course, became a cabinet member of the Reagan administration, but she had written a very influential academic article—that rare breed of an influential academic article—where she talked about authoritarian governments and totalitarian governments. And authoritarian governments, she wrote, were undesirable, but they could be negotiated into democracy. That is that they would be willing—and there were historical precedents—for their being willing to have elections and to essentially negotiate themselves out of power. On the other hand, she argued that totalitarian governments, which may look like authoritarian governments in a lot of ways, were fundamentally different. That is, they would never negotiate themselves out of power. Of course, obviously this is before the fall of the Soviet Union; it's before the end of the Central America conflicts. You can think of a lot of examples now where it's not true, but at the time, it held a certain amount of credibility with many influential circles, because authoritarian governments were generally thought of as being say, governments of dictatorships, like Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines. And totalitarian governments were Communist governments.
Simple enough, and so in the larger dynamic of Reagan-era thinking, El Salvador became the case for authoritarian government; Nicaragua became the case for a totalitarian government. So the symmetry was between those two, which I think is one reason why Guatemala never really was much on the radar of the United States, during those years, even though there was a catastrophic civil war going on there too that was actually in a lot of ways very much like El Salvador's. But you don't have symmetry anymore, if you include Guatemala. So that's the short answer to a big question.
JOEY KOLKER: Right, well you've talked a little about this already, but outside of Latin Americanist academic circles, could you describe the level and type of awareness in the United States during the 1980s about El Salvador's civil war?
VIRGINIA BURNETT: Well there was actually a fair amount of passion about that war, one way or the other, in the US during those years. I would say certainly, it was most acute on campuses, where people were really keeping up with what was going on, but El Salvador and Nicaragua both were often on the front page of the New York Times, in a way that no Latin American nation ever makes it any longer. It's certainly—because that's where people got their news—I think it's important to remember, when we're talking about El Salvador and we're talking about the exhibit at the Ransom Center, that even though we're just talking about twenty years ago, the way people got their information was much more limited than it is now. There were not a lot of venues for getting news. You got news off the radio, you got it out of the newspapers, you got it on TV. And when that was all conventional media, all three of them sort of said the same thing. And so certainly what the average American knew about El Salvador was what you were sort of supposed to know about, and you know very much in the paradigm of the administration's thinking.
But there was also a fairly large population of people who were I guess to some extent the products of the Vietnam era, who were very dubious of American intervention anywhere, particularly small countries that didn't have a lot of say, like Vietnam and like El Salvador. That sector was very quick to immediately label El Salvador as another Vietnam, and of course that set off alarms among people who opposed war for other ideological reasons, that it would be another stalemate, or another defeat, like Vietnam had been. But I think in general people knew El Salvador was there, they knew it was a problem, but I think they would hard-pressed to tell you beyond a very black and white scenario, of a Communist guerrilla force trying to take over a government, what was really at stake there.
JOEY KOLKER: The conference has a great focus on image and memory in El Salvador, and I'm wondering how well you think US citizens today remember the conflict and our government's role in it?
VIRGINIA BURNETT: That's a good question. I guess I'll tell you this anecdote. I teach a Central American history class, an undergraduate Central American history class, and obviously the people who are in that class were not even born during the conflict. But usually there are people in it whose parents were in El Salvador at the time. A lot of times I'll get somebody who was either born in El Salvador and came up here—we're moving beyond that in chronology now—came up here as a baby or came up here as a little kid, or was born here but their parents had recently come from El Salvador, and they don't even know. Even they don't know what really happened. They don't even know why their parents came; they don't even know what side their parents were on. One of the assignments I give in that class is, if you have a family history like that, to go back and just ask your parents why they came up. Many times the parents were very involved in the war on one side or the other and left for that reason. They were afraid they were going to be killed. They never mentioned it to their kids. When people who were directly involved in the war don't talk about it, you can be sure that people have largely forgotten about it.
The other thing is that I happened to be in Central America when Ronald Reagan died, and there was all this stuff on TV about it. It was fascinating to me to see that the way he was remembered was not for what had happened in Central America, but for what had happened with the Soviet Union. There was very little mention, even on Central American TV, about the role the United States had played in those wars. So if you want to talk about a piece of history that's hidden in plain sight, I would say this is a place to look.
JOEY KOLKER: Well, fifteen years after the signing of the peace accords in El Salvador, what is the status today of human rights in the country?
VIRGINIA BURNETT: I wish I could give a nicer answer than is really the case there. Let me preface it by saying that in a lot of ways El Salvador has done better than you might have expected. If you look at basic economic and social indicators in El Salvador, you see dramatic improvements [now] over the period of the war and the period before the war. But of course the war never did solve the basic problems that it started over. You know, the basic problems that led people to take up arms against the government were still there, and in some cases even worse than when they had taken up arms.
El Salvador has been successful in that they have had a free transition of power, they've had elections that are meaningful, they have a much higher voter participation than in the United States—not to say it's high, but it's higher than you find here—and so I think all those are hopeful signs. Crime in El Salvador is a disaster. I would say that that is a greater problem—the delincuencia común, just the common crime—than human rights violations in the sense that we commonly think of human rights violations, in the sense that they are violations by the government of the civil rights and the human rights of its citizens. In terms of the government or death squads killing people, that doesn't really happen very much anymore. There is an occasional incident when maybe labor leader dies in mysterious circumstances that raise questions in your mind, but by and large it's like night and day, from fifteen years ago. That said, the common crime is so pervasive in El Salvador and such a problem, that I would call it a crisis of democracy. That crime comes from a lot of places; it comes from gangs, which were a problem that didn't even exist in the 1980s, not the kind of gangs like Salvatruchas and others that now run in some ways run whole sectors of the country. They are truly transnational organizations that have close ties to their fellow gang members, elsewhere in Central America and in the United States. You also have what Robert Carmack has called a "culture of violence" in El Salvador, that is, where you have a country or a society where you have a long history of violence, that is, the resolution of problems through violence. It's very hard for people to lose that habit. So things that might have been resolved in a different kind of manner, tend to be resolved violently in El Salvador, so people can be killed over five dollars, which isn't a lot of money even in El Salvador. You could say in a way the gang problem also has its roots in the war, because the gang members of today, whether they're in Los Angeles or whether they're in San Salvador, are kids who are in some way a product of the war. That is, they were born in El Salvador or they were born in the United States, and grew up, instead of binational people, [as] non-national people, adrift in US society, and picked up the worst attributes of US culture, and find meaning and belonging within the gangs. If they were born in El Salvador and they commit a crime, then they're deported there. And the group they immediately find there is of course the gang. So you have this sort of lawless, border-free zone, that is outside of civil society altogether. It's very hard for any government to get a grip on the crime. It also is a place where the average citizen feels an enormous amount of dissatisfaction that the government can't provide basic services, like safety, like the idea that you can walk to the store and walk back safely to your home. Until they find a way to resolve that, that's going to be a challenge to democracy, I think.
JOEY KOLKER: OK. Virginia Burnett, thank you very much.

SOUTH BEACH, FL — Two more players are jumping into the female express-workout crowd of fitness facilities. Cuts Fitness for Men and Lucille Roberts are entering the market — both stating they will offer something that is lacking in this market.
In December, the same people who introduced Cuts Fitness for Men launched Cuts For Women. The company, which will be based in South Beach, FL, said the clubs would target a younger, more affluent member than traditional express clubs target.
"As opposed to what exists today in the women-only market, we will be creating a high-quality environment that will motivate our members," said John Gennaro, president and founder of Cuts for Women. He said that his franchises will not directly compete with existing women-only facilities since it represents a fitness program that doesn't exist already.
"Our market is younger, more fit and will draw from traditional clubs as well as a segment of the women ages 20-40 who have held off joining any gym because they are not satisfied with the current offering," he said. "Of course, we will also attract a percentage of existing women-only club members as well."
Gennaro said that his company's research showed that a large percentage of women who currently work out at existing women-only facilities and co-ed health clubs are dissatisfied with their current experience.
Cuts for Women has partnered with Laura Day, a designer on the television show "Trading Spaces," to design its clubs' interiors. The clubs will feature hydraulic equipment combined with cardio stations including rowers, upright bikes, spinners, ellipticals and steppers. The franchise uses the Body Cuts system, a 30-minute circuit training and cardiovascular-based workout.
"We will be very focused on both the visual and audio elements of the franchise as well," he said.
The company will locate some of the women-only facilities side-by-side with its men's facilities.
"We feel that this is a terrific opportunity that doesn't currently exist in the marketplace," Gennaro said. "It's an attractive package that can feed one another from a marketing perspective as well."
Gennaro said that the higher-end offering should attract franchisees with experience in the fitness industry.
"The reason you haven't seen more fitness professionals jump into franchising is that a high-quality product offering hasn't been there through present," he said. He plans to sell 250 franchises by the end of 2005.
Also in December, Lucille Roberts launched its Lucille Roberts Fitness Express franchises "to bring a brand of quality, women-only fitness facilities to every market, both large and small, on a national scale," according to Bob Roberts, company co-founder and CEO.
"We're taking a big gym model and scaling it down in size without losing any of the programs our fitness centers are famous for," said Roberts. The company already has more than 50 full-sized women-only fitness centers in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. "With Lucille Roberts Fitness Express, we'll be able to bring our brand of quality, women-only fitness to every market, both large and small, on a national scale."
A "big gym in your small town" philosophy makes the new business a different and effective franchise model from the typical 30-minute workout competitors, Roberts said. By combining the highest quality cardio and strength training equipment with a variety of low-and high-impact fitness classes, Roberts said his company's concept would fill a largely ignored niche — affordable, women-only, weight-loss and fitness centers with choices and variety.
The company has made a multi-million dollar investment toward the launch of the new concept and plans to sell at least 100 franchise locations and oversee 15 to 20 new openings in 2005. The company is in discussions with single-unit and multi-unit developers, many of which are from other segments of the franchise industry.
"Lucille Roberts Fitness Express possesses what I think are the three critical elements of a great franchise — high quality, simplicity, and a low financial entry point. And the level of support we provide our franchisees far exceeds that of any of the other concepts out there," said Bruce J. Major, executive vice president and director of franchising.
Women comprise 53 percent of U.S. health club members. There are more than 10,000 locations and 4 million members in women-only facilities.

You don't need an additional computer as a server to run NIS -- just use your head node as an NIS server. Ditto crossmounting disk space with NFS -- just export a partition (it doesn't have to be huge, just big enough to hold your user home directories and workspace) to all the nodes. Remember, NIS and NFS were in some twenty years ago -- when I first started managing Unix systems a "server" supporting dozens of user accounts might have one or two hundred MEGABYTES of disk in exported directories (an amount of disk that costs many thousands of dollars) and might deliver a whopping 4 MIPS of performance, and yet the server would still be useable for NIS, NFS and even some modest amounts of computation in its relatively miniscule memory. For a mini-cluster with only eight nodes, serving NIS and NFS won't even warm it up, and the smallest disks being sold today are some 60 GB in size -- an amount that even five or six years ago would have constituted a departmental server's collective store (and that server might have served 50 or 100 workstations, 100 or so users, and managed it with a processor ten to twenty times slower). There are also numerous alternative solutions, if setting up servers is something you don't know how to do or don't want to do for other reasons. You could use rsync to synchronize user accounts across nodes. This works well (and even yields a performance advantage) if they change slowly, but will be a pain if they change a lot (the advantage of NIS is that it pretty much completely automates this after a bit of work setting it up originally). You can and should use tools like ones that were just discussed, e.g. kickstart and yum, to automate installation and maintenance. Finally, look into the various "cluster distributions" that do it all for you, noteably ROCKS and warewulf. Be aware, though, that they are pretty likely to use things like NFS and NIS as (possibly optional) components of their solutions. [BTW, y'all are just spiled, spiled rotten. Why, back in the OLD days geeks were geeks and had to slam massive amounts of cola to get real work done on networks, CPUs, memory that my PDA has beat hands down today. Here you put together a networked cluster the least component of which would have been "inconceivably" powerful (in every dimension) three decades ago, which is more powerful all by itself than the first twenty or so beowulfs ever built, and you can't find a "server"...;-)] rgb Robert G.

I have never had the honor of meeting Murray Stenson, the legendary Seattle bartender. I've, unfortunately, never been to Seattle. But I can say with all certainty that Murray's long years behind the stick have influenced every word I've written on the topic of spirits and cocktails. You see, I've been blogging here since 2006, and writing professionally on this subject since 2009.
Stenson's influence has been mostly indirect, unfortunately, but it's certainly here. When I sat at Milk & Honey, in the company of several bartenders and a founder of Martin Miller's gin, and we tasted a Last Word, Murray Stenson was there with us in a way of speaking. He didn't create the drink, but he rescued it from oblivion and put it on the menu at Zig Zag. Just a few years later, I sat on the opposite coast and mixed one up myself.
When I wrote extensively about the Diamondback Cocktail, I mentioned its heritage and the fact that it, too, was resurrected and promoted by Mr. Stenson. So here are two excellent drinks that Murray forced out of retirement to trick them out for his guests.
But there's more to a bartender than technique and recipe, and what truly sets Murray apart is his emphasis on hospitality, remembering his guests (and their previous drink orders) on return visits, and his willingness to share the love of his craft with his guests, with other bartenders, and with writers such as Paul Clarke and Chuck Taggart. The man has a true generosity of spirit, coupled with an open and transparent approach to his work.
But Murray needs some help; he's got a heart condition that prevents him from working presently, and he'll need an operation to correct it before he can return to his job. Bartending is a demanding job, physically and emotionally. Not only is bartending a tremendously laborious job, but it requires you to be "on" constantly. A night behind the stick can wreck even a young person, and Murray's been at this for many years.
Bartending is not normally a job that carries health benefits, and Murray's among the group without them, so the care he needs is not going to come cheap.
Some of his friends have set up a page where they're asking for donations. They also have a Facebook page where they're providing updates on his condition and their fundraising efforts. Do what you can to help, please. Finally, Paul Clarke has more information on Murray's work and career on his site.
Paul could probably use some help of his own, frankly. Last night, Rachel Maddow tweeted this:
Cocktail enthusiasts rally for one of the greats: is.gd/PXjDZP Someday we won't have to do this – everyone will be covered
— Rachel Maddow MSNBC (@maddow) October 23, 2012
Paul wound up with thousands of visits to his site in just a 20-minute period. I hope his web hosting was up to the traffic. But if you see Paul around, online or in person, offer him a drink.

(Reuters) - Within hours of the U.S. government's unprecedented release last week of a trove of Medicare billing data, a small fraternity of lawyers who specialize in representing whistleblowers in healthcare fraud cases began to mobilize.
These lawyers earn their living bringing cases on behalf of employees at drug companies and healthcare providers who believe their bosses or colleagues may be cheating the federal Medicare system by bribing doctors to prescribe certain drugs, for example, or inflating bills.
A whistleblower who prevails gets up to 30 percent of whatever the government recovers, and 40 percent of that reward typically goes to the whistleblower's lawyer.
Whistleblower cases can result in huge settlements, such as the $3 billion GlaxoSmithKline paid in 2012 to resolve claims that it promoted drugs for unapproved uses and failed to report certain safety data.
Patrick Burns, co-director of Taxpayers Against Fraud, a nonprofit advocacy group with around 400 whistleblower lawyers as members, said that right after the release on Wednesday a handful of lawyers asked him for help accessing the data, which is available online. The 2012 data runs for 10 million lines and shows how many times some 880,000 medical providers billed for a particular service, how much they charged and whether that deviated from the national norm.
Burns said he sent the database link to the entire 400-lawyer group, under the heading, "Have Fun!"
By Thursday, Pennsylvania lawyer Marc Raspanti was having a ball. Raspanti said he spent six hours combing through the data. He has several Medicare fraud lawsuits pending against pharmaceutical companies alleging kickbacks to certain doctors.
Raspanti is analyzing the data, he said, to see if doctors are prescribing an unusually high amount of the pharmaceutical company's products. If so, he said, that could bolster allegations that something is amiss.
In the past Raspanti had to rely on his clients' personal knowledge of any suspect billings, he said, and then had to subpoena government agencies for the supporting documents. "Now I have (the data) at my fingertips." He said that has helped him on some cases, which he declined to identify.
The data could also help direct lawyers to additional targets or potential witnesses in cases they have already filed, said Reuben Guttman, a Washington, D.C., whistleblower lawyer who said he jumped into the database soon after it was released.
For example, if a lawyer were representing a pharmaceutical sales manager accusing his company of paying kickbacks to certain doctors, the data could point to other providers using the company's products who could serve as witnesses or be added as defendants if the billings suggest wrongdoing.
"It could expand the case beyond a certain institution or provider to multiple institutions or providers," said Chris Coffin, a Louisiana lawyer who represents whistleblowers.
Other lawyers said the data could produce leads for new lawsuits. When red flags emerge - a doctor bills Medicare an unusually high amount for a particular drug, say - lawyers could investigate what might explain the aberrant figure. That could turn up a possible fraud.
"You'd have to be able to see that there's (improper) influence actually being exerted over healthcare decisions," said Michael Behn, a Chicago whistleblower lawyer. "But there's the possibility this data could lead to actual cases."
Consumer and press groups have been seeking the Medicare physician data since Jimmy Carter was in the White House. In 1979, the American Medical Association and the Florida Medical Association convinced a judge to bar officials from releasing the data to protect physicians' privacy. Last May, a judge lifted the ban.
AMA spokesman Robert Mills declined to comment on the digging by lawyers and instead referred to the statement on Wednesday by AMA President Ardis Dee Hoven.
"Releasing the data without context will likely lead to inaccuracies, misinterpretations, false conclusions and other unintended consequences," she said.
Indeed, data alone doesn't make a lawsuit. Lawyers still need a client with inside knowledge of the alleged fraud. But employees in physicians' offices or healthcare labs who suspect wrongdoing can now see whether their employers' billings are out-of-line with the rest of the industry.
And that could seriously stiffen some of their spines.

text: Geoff et al., We have had several conversations with customers about Gaussian. Apparently some datasets don't scale with Linda, and those customers generally either run serial or with OpenMP. I wouldn't be surprised if the people who said here that gaussian "didn't run in parallel" have such datasets. > Also, g03 (according to Gaussian) is still 32-bit in Linux > environments and may be memory bound as a result. If I understand correctly, some customers have source code and others do not. So this is probably talking about the official binaries and not what customers may have compiled themselves.

Express. Home of the Daily and Sunday Express.
Pearce delighted with impressive win
Stuart Pearce admitted his England Under-21s had exceeded his expectations as they geared up for this summer's European Championship finals with a convincing 4-0 friendly victory over Sweden.
Blackpool forward Tom Ince capped a man of the match display with a brace either side of setting up Jonjo Shelvey's tap-in as the Young Lions took complete control before half-time at a wet Banks's Stadium in Walsall.
Substitute Connor Wickham headed a fourth after the break in what was a disjointed second period following a raft of substitutions. Coach Pearce, who has seen talks over his own future put on hold until after the tournament, said: "It's arguably as well as we've played, certainly the first half when we really took the game by the scruff of the neck."
He continued: "I just wish we were meeting up again tomorrow to prepare for another game. It's a great achievement, seven clean sheets on the trot, and that's credit to the lads. It couldn't have been a better way to get our preparations underway. It was beyond my expectations how well they gelled with each other.
"They passed the ball fantastically well, they had a real enthusiasm to stop the opposition getting efforts at our goal. Winning the game 4-0 was a real bonus. I think right across the squad, the way they've come together straight away for this new calendar year has been outstanding for us. It's our first stepping stone on building for the tournament in the summer."
Pearce will guide England into his fourth Euro finals since taking charge six years ago, with the Young Lions bowing out in the group stages in 2011 following their final defeat two years previous. And despite being excited about his current crop's potential, he admits they are not the finished article just yet.
"I think there's a lot of work to do between now and the summer," Pearce said. "I've been to three tournaments before, I know the standard you have to achieve to actually win it so we'll have to go there with our best players, make no mistake about that.
"The Spanish will be strong, the Germans are looking very strong - the big powerhouses of Europe are at this tournament, so there's a long way to go."
Shelvey and captain Jordan Henderson, both replaced at half-time, as well as right-back Adam Smith all caught the eye during an impressive all-round display against an inexperienced Sweden side. Although it is Ince who will steal the headlines following his brace - his first goals at Under-21 level in what was his sixth cap.
"Tom's probably had about 12 efforts at goal over the games, real good chances in the previous matches and failed to score," Pearce added. "So we didn't want it to be a hang up for him because he's played extremely well in the other games. But we're pleased to see he's got on the scoresheet. I think his general all-round play was outstanding, along with a few others."

Premium Membership
I'm hoping that one of the lovely mod team can help...
Due to my terrible admin I allowed my card to expire on Pay Pal and my subscription has lapsed, I've updated my payment info and am now legit - can my premium membership be restored please so that I can have a snoop about upstairs?
Re: Premium Membership
In a similar vein (ish)
It has been a while since I last renewed my membership. I still log on to the website every day to pick up the news, views and gossip, but rarely post these days, and miss the insights "upstairs"
The primary reason for me not renewing my membership was that I was scammed by a hacker purporting to be PayPal, and I have been nervous about getting my fingers burnt again
Is there another way that I could subscribe?
COYI. Always ⚒
Re: Premium Membership
Hi chaps. We only work with Paypal (which is 100% safe) unless you can grease my palm in person!
Re: Premium Membership
I paid for premium membership over two months ago, despite contacting UtJ and Gnome I still have no access.
Can someone have a look and tell me what's going on please?
Re: Premium Membership
I paid my £££ on 14th Feb, (I wasn't lonely honest) !
Can you unlock my upstairs access please, if you need more info drop me a PM.
Re: Premium Membership
Hi guys, paid for premium membership yesterday and can't access all the forums yet...someone be a sport and look into it...cheers
Re: Premium Membership
^^^ Have you had your interview yet?
Re: Premium Membership
Yes, nervous start but got better as it progressed. The £100 under the table probably was enough to get the job done...
Re: Premium Membership
Mark me down as another one whose paid, albeit only today - thought it was high time I finally did given how much time I spend here
Re: Premium Membership
You should have been sent an email requesting their your name so that their account may be upgraded.
If UTJ doesn't get those back he can't upgrade the account.
Re: Premium Membership
Think that might be the issue fella, only email I've had is a PayPal receipt. I'll ping an email and go from there.
Re: Premium Membership
I'll recheck my inbox and junk folder but fairly certain I haven't got anything. It's my work email so I use it a lot
Re: Premium Membership
Hopefully someone can help.
I paid a week ago, replied to the email asking for my username and haven't heard anything since.
Having seen some of the waiting times quoted on this thread I'm thinking it best to raise it.
Sent a PM to Bristol yesterday and UTJ today. To be fair, Bristol did say he would send it upsatirs but nothing back as yet.
Re: Premium Membership
I paid my Premium sub yesterday - can't get on the forum.
I tried to send a PM to UTJ yesterday, hoping to resolve the issue, but it's stuck in my Outbox and I can't seem to get it marked as 'Sent'
You guts have £20 of my money. I don't have the service for which that £20 was paid.
Please could you provide me with that service.
Thank you
Re: Premium Membership
I know this doesn't help much but I believe a pm stays in in your outbox and once it has been read it shows in your sent box.
Re: Premium Membership
Has anyone on this thread got their Premium Membership sorted? I haven't been waiting as long as others (couple of weeks, I think) but I have also sent emails, PMs, Tweets..... I didn't get the "send me your username" email either. Again, appreciate all this is done in people's spare time, so no big deal.
Re: Premium Membership
Paid mine at the start of September, still waiting for access upstairs.
Not making a fuss just eager to get involved.
Re: Premium Membership
2 months now.
Anybody else still waiting?
Re: Premium Membership
Hi guys,
Had E-Mail for premium membership, back from you on 19th Jan, still unable to access.
Hopefully you can sort this out.
Re: Premium Membership
Paid my memebership fee on the 2nd of september 2016.
Still nothing.
Multiple PM's to the Guv.
Still nothing.

Decorative typefaces you can use.
Decorative typefaces are delightful, but a font that overwhelms with its own voice can be impossible to use. Shouldn't a decorative typeface be as versatile and hard-working as any other?
Decorative typefaces have always been among typography's most ephemeral designs. The first decorative faces were patterned after ornamental calligraphy, classical inscriptions, and copperplate engravings, but vanished with the passing of each fashion. In the industrial age, typefounders captured every fleeting fad in a font, from Chinoiserie to rusticism, each of which met the same fate. Some of the more lasting designs were inspired by the world of sign painting, which gave us the categories of decorative typography that survive today: inlines, outlines, and stencils, as well as faceted, shaded, and shadowed letters. Woodtype manufacturers made type even more dazzling with the introduction of "chromatic" types, fonts that were produced as two separate components designed to be inked in different colors and printed in register.
Our Shades collection revisits some of best of these techniques, offering four different designs whose chromatic layers can be variously composed to produce a range of different textures. Because none of these faces specifically references any particular historical model, all are free from the kind of built-in cultural associations that plague most decorative type. The Shades collection's twelve styles, infinitely configurable and subtly responsive to their surroundings, are designed to be useful again and again.

Research at Mass General
There are two major ongoing projects. A primary focus of the laboratory is to define the roles of the Wnt and K-ras signaling pathways in the regulation of angiogenesis. The genetic events in colorectal cancer development are well described, and the challenge is to determine the functional consequences of these genetic defects. The Wnt and K-ras pathways are critical regulators of early tumorigenesis, and identifying the relevant biological processes affected by these pathways can provide clues into strategies for preventing or arresting growth at this early pre-malignant stage. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the critical stimulus for tumor angiogenesis, and we have demonstrated the novel upregulation of VEGF by the Wnt pathway. Oncogenic Ras can also up-regulate VEGF, and we have provided insights into the importance of the PI3K effector pathway. Interestingly, K-ras functions synergistically with Wnt signaling to upregulate VEGF, and we have identified the PI3K-dependent inhibition of GSK-ß as an important molecular mechanism for this interaction. Hypoxia is also a critical stimulus for VEGF upregulation, and our studies have defined a unique role for oncogenic Kras signaling in the hypoxic induction of VEGF that does not depend upon the classical hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) pathway. However, in the absence of HIF-1, tumor angiogenesis is preserved. Current studies are aimed at elucidating the compensatory pathways that maintain angiogenesis in the absence of HIF-1. Collectively, these studies highlight the importance of angiogenesis in premalignant as well as malignant disease, and focus attention on potential anti-angiogenic approaches for the prevention of colon cancer.
The second focus of the laboratory is to identify the genetic events that underlie the development of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Human neuroendocrine tumors exhibit unique biological properties, and defining the molecular genetic alterations that underlie these distinctive features remains an important challenge. In addition to the MEN1 tumor suppressor gene, the cyclin D1 oncogene has demonstrated a role in the pathogenesis of these neuroendocrine tumors. Upregulation of cyclin D1 is observed early in tumor formation, implying a possible role in tumor initiation. Our goal is to take a genome-wide approach to identify additional genetic events that may provide new insights into tumor pathogenesis and ultimately, therapy.

NZXT HALE90 850W Power Supply Review
Introduction and Features
NZXT recently released five power supplies in their new HALE90 Series, with output capacities of 550W, 650W, 750W, 850W and 1,000W. This new lineup was built from the ground up specifically for gamers and other power hungry enthusiasts. All of the HALE90 units are 80Plus Gold certified, which means they should deliver top efficiency (at least 87% efficient between 20% and 100% load and 90% efficient at 50% load). The HALE90 850W PSU we have up for review comes with a full compliment of modular cables, a quiet 140mm fan, includes universal AC input with Active PFC and is backed by NZXT's 5-year warranty. And as you will note in the following photograph, the HALE series PSUs feature a bright white chassis with black fan guard and connectors for a fresh new look.

• Compliance with ATX12V v2.2, EPS12V v2.91 and SSI EPS12V v2.92
• Environmentally Responsible: Consuming less than 1W during shut off status, complies with the newest EuP (Energy Using Products) requirements and USA Energy Star standards.
• Safety: The HALE series offers OV, OC, OP, UV, and short circuit protection.
• Warranty: 5-Years
PSU Testing Methodology
Establishing an accurate load is critical to testing and evaluating a PC power supply. PCPerspective's power supply test bench can place a precise 2,000 watt DC load on the PSU under test. Each power supply is tested under controlled, real-world conditions up to its maximum rated load, using both 115 VAC and 240 VAC line voltage. Our current suite of tests includes:
• DC Load Regulation
• DC Line Regulation
• DC Cross-load (unbalanced load)
• AC Ripple and Noise
• Power Factor
• Efficiency
• Differential Temperature
• Noise
The NZXT HALE90 850W power supply was evaluated on both features and performance. A full range of equipment was used to test the power supply under controlled load conditions.
• (2) CSI3710A Programmable DC load (+3.3V and +5V outputs)
• (4) CSI3711A Programmable DC load (+12V1, +12V2, +12V3, and +12V4)
• (2) 200W Precision resistor load bank (+12V5 and +12V6)
• Switchable precision resistor load bank (-12V and +5VSB)
• Extech MultiMaster MM570 digital multimeter (Accuracy ±0.02%)

Once cast aside, gays included in civil rights moment 50 years after March on Washington
WASHINGTON – Months before Martin Luther King Jr. declared "I Have a Dream" to galvanize a crowd of thousands, Bayard Rustin was planning all the essential details to make the 1963 March on Washington a success.
Rustin, who died in 1987, is sometimes forgotten in civil rights history. He had been an outcast. He was a Quaker, a pacifist who opposed the Vietnam war and had flirted with communism. And he was gay.
Fifty years later, Rustin's legacy is a key part of the march anniversary. Civil rights leaders plan an unprecedented inclusion of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people this month as part of a larger movement calling for equal rights for all.

Demanding bold solutions to today's jobs crisis.
Read the series »
Register for The Summit on Jobs & America's Future »
Earlier this week, Senate Democratic leaders said their budget would adhere to the President's five-year freeze on non-military discretionary spending, which is effectively a cut when you factor in inflation and population growth. The party unity is not surprising, but this comment by Sen. Chuck Schumer was: "Some members of our caucus want to go farther, but at a minimum we're going to abide by this freeze."
In other words, according to Sen. Schumer, the range of opinions inside the Democratic caucus stretch from cuts to more cuts, at a time when many economists argue the shaky economy needs the federal government to spend more and create bigger budget deficits to fill in the gap of economic demand.
I assume Schumer's comments are not literally true and many Senate Dems have not forgotten Economics 101. But clearly, as The Huffington Post's Dan Froomkin wrote yesterday, "politics has trumped economics … with the Tea Partiers among them screaming for blood … the political debate is over how much of the government Democrats can salvage."
In fact, a top Democratic pollster has counseled Senate Dems that, according to Bloomberg, "more voters view cutting spending rather than investing as the best way" to help the economy and so the budget battle "can't be framed as a debate between dealing with the deficit and not dealing with the deficit." If one takes that analysis to be political gospel, it rules out explaining Economics 101 and the value of budget deficits in times when the private market is weak.
Some blame the President for this constrained political dynamic, criticizing him for a refusal to lead the charge for a bolder economic plan. Others would argue that the President is playing a weak hand skillfully in order to prevent Republicans from enacting truly draconian cuts.
Whichever is your view, it doesn't mean we have to accept the constraints on public debate. We have to power to expand the debate, to change the political dynamic and renew the possibility of bold action to solve our daunting economic challenges.
We desperately need to accomplish this, not only to retain the possibility of enacting the good components of the President's budget — in particular his strong public investment for infrastructure creating an estimated 15 million jobs — but to set the stage to even bigger and bolder job creating initiatives, and forging a path for sustainable growth.
The Campaign for America's Future is going light the spark for expanding the debate on March 10, when we host The Summit on Jobs & America's Future featuring AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, "Local Jobs For America Act" sponsor Rep. George Miller, green jobs visionary Van Jones, pollster Celinda Lake and Center for Community Change's Deepak Bhargava.
Rest assured, the Summit will not be operating under the artificial constraints the media has put on the budget debate. We will be following the path envisioned by the Citizens' Commission on Jobs, Deficit and America's Economic Future which laid out a path to long-term deficit reduction without engaging in premature budget cuts when the economy can't absorb it.
We will need your voice at The Summit on March 10 (attendance is free) and beyond, in letters to your local paper, calls to talk radio, your own postings online. The louder we are, and the more sustained we are, the harder and harder it becomes to pretend these views don't exist.
We've done this before. On Social Security. On Iraq. On health care. On Wall Street reform. Whether we have won or lost the ultimate fight, we at least have forced the media and the political system to expand the debate through sheer tenacity.
Now we face a persistent jobs crisis, and our debate is too limited to solve it. It up to us to change it. It always is.

I love the cynical mind of Scott Adams expressed through his Dilbert cartoon strip. A recent New Year's Eve panel expressed the skepticism that Dilbert had for attaching meaning to the annual calendar rollover.
"I don't celebrate the magical thinking that says one random point in the space-time continuum is somehow special." – Dilbert
We do place a remarkable emphasis on the New Year as a specific point in time where we can resolve to do something better or something less or something not at all. I have resolved over the years to work out more, read all the way through the Bible, lose weight, be more organized (HAH!) and assorted other failed bits.
But there is power in the hope of change and new beginnings. A song by Jason Gray reminded me of the power of starting anew. Jason is rapidly becoming one of my favorite writers/singers for Christian lyrics. The lyrics from "I Am New" blessed me on the morning walk and serve as a template for the New Year journey.
Too long have I lived in the shadow of shame
Believing that there was no way I could change
But the one who is making everything new
Doesn't see me the way that I do
He doesn't see me the way that I do
I haven't just lived in the shadow of shame. I have wallowed deep in the pooled up shame of past failures, broken vows and failed efforts to be more worthy of love. Then Jason reminded me again that the work is done. I am changed. I just need to believe and live out of that truth.
I am not who I was
I'm being remade
I am new
I am chosen and holy and I'm dearly loved
I am new
I am new. I can trust and live out of that truth on New Year's Day or January 5th or April 10th or any other day. The point is we are new creations in Christ. The verse is familiar. Trusting it is hard.
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. (2 Corinthians 5, NLT)
That is true every day of the year. Yet it can be so hard to believe and Satan makes it so hard to accept. The old tapes (digital recordings?) start playing whenever the old shame triggers are pulled.
"I am not enough."
"I am a failure."
"I don't deserve His mercy."
Gray's lyric addresses the truth of how God views me.
Now I won't deny
The worst you could say about me
But I'm not defined by mistakes that I've made
Because God says of me
I am not who I was
I'm being remade
I am new
Yep. All of the ugliness is true about me. I put all of my sin and shame on the table and Jesus gently says that is not who I am anymore. Is there any more freeing and joyful message to take into the New Year?
You may be correct Dilbert. Perhaps there is no special power in the random moment on the space-time continuum when the New Year begins. But there is amazing power in the redemptive work of Christ. I begin today, tomorrow and every day of 2012 with the knowledge that I am….
Forgiven, beloved
Hidden in Christ
Made in the image of the Giver of Life
Righteous and holy, reborn and remade
Accepted and worthy
This is (my) new name
This is who (I) am now...

Donovan McNabb is just trying to help Robert Griffin III. From what? The Washington Redskins, apparently.
During his NBCSports radio show on Tuesday, McNabb responded to comments Griffin made in an interview with GQ.
"I'm just trying to help him. Clearly the young generation think they have all the answers. He's going through a little turmoil right now trying to get out on the field. And it's unfortunate. But that's where we're at right now as far as these young quarterbacks who think they have all the answers. Until things start to fall apart and come down trembling on you, then you want some help. But it's a shame," McNabb said. "I honestly think, you know, over there in Washington, he's getting brainwashed. He's getting input from whoever it may be. There's no reason to talk to him. It didn't work out here. If they expressed their dislike when I was there, what I used to do. So be it. I hope the best for the young man. But the direction he's going in is really a direction he does not want to do."
McNabb's rant came shortly after RGIII's interview with GQ was published. Writer Brendan Vaughn asked Griffin about McNabb's offer to give him advice back in May.
"I don't think Donovan is an idiot by any means," Griffin told Vaughn. "But right now, it's probably best we don't talk."
McNabb hasn't had many nice things to say about the Redskins organization after after spending one tumultuous season in Washington D.C. They went 6-10 and head coach Mike Shanahan eventually benched McNabb for Rex Grossman.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
designer: DUCK • comment
In 2004, Jamie Caliri directed the beautiful animated end credits for Lemony Snicket's - A Series of Unfortunate Events. One of the most impressive credit sequences of 2004, we wrote.
The end credits of Madagascar 2: Escape to Africa are not as epic or as elaborate as the titles for Lemony Snicket's, nor do they share the same richness in terms of narrative depth, but Caliri and his team at DUCK created an entertaining sequence that carries Jamie's signature style.
The movie's main characters - Marty the zebra, Alex the lion, Gloria the hippo, Melman the giraffe, along with some of the supporting cast; all reappear in the end credit sequence, albeit in a different form than in the movie. All characters are redesigned as animated 3D papercraft characters set against hand-painted backgrounds featuring geometric motifs that are unmistakably African.
From DUCK's press release: "'I Like to Move It,' one of four songs from the film's soundtrack created by Will.I.Am of Black Eyed Peas, moves the action along while the film's whimsical characters shamelessly provide their modern dance interpretations."

Capcom Hints New Phoenix Wright, Classic IP Coming in 2014
As the year winds down, many are already looking ahead to what 2014 will offer. Capcom gave a few hints as to what to expect from the publisher, including returning heroes and classic franchises.
Speaking with 4Gamer (and translated by Dual Shockers), Capcom's Kazunori Sugiura (Deep Down), Kenji Kataoka (Dungeons and Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara), and Shu Takumi and Takeshi Yamazaki (both of Phoenix Wright fame) divulged a few secrets about what was in the works.
Sugiura emphasized how surprised fans would be of what was coming in 2014, adding there would be some big news on the fighting game front. Kataoka hinted an announcement would be coming during the summer months about another classic Capcom franchise being resurrected. Though he didn't offer more clues, he did intimate it was on track for release for the end of 2014.
Takumi has a new game in the works, but only offered that it would be announced next year. Meanwhile, Yamazaki told the site the next Phoenix Wright title is already in development. It's not clear if the two Phoenix Wright team members were talking about the same game, but even if they were, so what? We'll gladly take another new Phoenix Wright game after how great Dual Destinies was.

This document describes how to use the popular USB memory sticks with Linux. However, it is also valid for other devices such as digital cameras that act as if they were just a USB storage device.
- 1 Mounting USB devices
- 1.1 Auto-mounting with udev
- 1.2 Manual mounting
Mounting USB devices
If you have an up-to-date system with the standard Arch kernel and a modern Desktop Environment your device should just show up on your desktop, with no need to open a console.
Otherwise see sections below.
Auto-mounting with udev
See Udev:Auto mounting USB devices.
A lightweight solution to automount harddrives using udev, for single-user systems, is the following: create a file named
/etc/udev/rules.d/automount.rules with the following content:
ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="partition", RUN+="domount %N"
and a file (executable by root) named
/usr/lib/udev/domount with (set the variables on top to the correct values):
#!/bin/sh #edit the following variables to suit your needs MYUID=1000 # your user uid MYGID=100 # your user gid MYLOGIN=al # your login TERM=lxterminal # your terminal emulator MYSHELL=zsh # your shell export DISPLAY=:0 # your X display TMPFILE=/run/automount.$RANDOM DIR=`cat /etc/fstab | grep -v '#' | grep $* | awk '{print $2;}'` if [ "x$DIR" = "x" ]; then MYUUID=`blkid -o value -s UUID $*` if [ "x$MYUUID" = "x" ]; then MYUUID="unknown" fi DIR=/run/media/$MYUUID fi mkdir -p /run/media mkdir -p $DIR cat > $TMPFILE << EOF #!/bin/sh echo "$* will be mounted on $DIR. " sudo /bin/mount -o uid=$MYUID,gid=$MYGID $* $DIR cd $DIR $MYSHELL cd sudo /bin/umount $DIR EOF chmod a+x $TMPFILE su $MYLOGIN -c "$TERM -t 'Terminal - $* mounted on $DIR' -e $TMPFILE" sleep 1; rm -f $TMPFILE
When an harddrive is inserted, it will be mounted, and a Terminal will pop-up. To umount the device, simply press Control+D in the terminal window. The mountpoint is looked for in
/etc/fstab or, if absent, generated from the UUID of the partition.
To prevent your password to be asked at umount, add (replace
you with your login name) to
/etc/sudoers using the
visudo command. See Sudo#Configuration
you ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/umount
If the terminal doesn't appear as expected, that may because wrong options are used. For example, in xfce4, we use "Terminal -T <title> -e <script-file> instead"
Manual mounting
Getting a kernel that supports usb_storage
If you do not use a custom-made kernel, you are ready to go, for all Arch Linux stock kernels are properly configured. If you do use a custom-made kernel, ensure it is compiled with SCSI-Support, SCSI-Disk-Support and usb_storage. If you use the latest udev, you may just plug your device in and the system will automatically load all necessary kernel modules. Older releases of udev would need hotplug installed too. Otherwise, you can do the same thing manually:
# modprobe usb-storage # modprobe sd_mod (only for non SCSI kernels)
Identifying device
First thing one need to access storage device is it's identifier assigned by kernel.
Using device node names ( /sd* )
This is the simplest way, but assigned name depends on order of insertion. Ways to get node name:
- search in the output of
dmesgfor the kernel device name, you can use
grepto help you find what you are looking for:
$ dmesg | grep -E "sd[a-z]"
- running
# fdisk -l
lists all available partition tables.
Using UUID
Every drive creates a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier), these identifiers can be used to track individual drive no matter their device node (ie
To find the current UUIDs execute (as root):
# blkid -o list -c /dev/null
device fs_type label mount point UUID ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ /dev/sda1 ext2 /boot 7f4cef7e-7ee2-489a-b759-d52ba23b692c /dev/sda2 swap (not mounted) a807fff3-e89f-46d0-ab17-9b7ad3efa7b5 /dev/sda3 ext4 / 81917291-fd1a-4ffe-b95f-61c05cfba76f /dev/sda4 ext4 /home c4c23598-19fb-4562-892b-6fb18a09c7d3 /dev/sdb1 ext4 X2 /mnt/X1 4bf265f7-da17-4575-8758-acd40885617b /dev/sdc1 ext4 X1 /mnt/X2 4bf265f7-da17-4575-8758-acd40885617b /dev/sdd1 ext4 Y2 /mnt/Y2 8a976a06-3e56-476f-b73a-ea3cad41d915 /dev/sde1 ext4 Z2 /mnt/Z2 9d35eaae-983f-4eba-abc9-434ecd4da09c /dev/sdf1 ext4 Y1 /mnt/Y1 e2ec37a9-0689-46a8-a07b-0609ce2b7ea2 /dev/sdg1 ext4 Z1 /mnt/Z1 9fa239c1-720f-42e0-8aed-39cf53a743ed /dev/sdj1 ext4 RAPT (not mounted) a9ed7ecb-96ce-40fe-92fa-e07a532ed157 /dev/sdj2 swap <swap> 20826c74-eb6d-46f8-84d8-69b933a4bf3f
Or to find this information with non-root privileges, use:
$ lsblk -o name,kname,uuid
NAME KNAME UUID sda sda ├─sda1 sda1 A103-2001 └─sda2 sda2 6i2E71-zJzL-KXuG-juYv-mbNY-kROA-XsIPlm ├─vg0-var (dm-0) dm-0 cebi84r5-0401-491e-a0d6-de0j3bnw867c ├─vg0-home (dm-1) dm-1 cceguid6-f3mc-4d7a-a1f2-83f2mkpds3q1 └─vg0-root (dm-2) dm-2 973ed4rf-6611-47ed-877c-b66yhn5tgbc7 sdb sdb └─sdb1 sdb1 j1Pr1X-b0uM-bkWZ-KNYQ-gezL-YliV-ScRufFyD └─vg0-home (dm-1) dm-1 cefmkbe6-f4n8-4d7a-al32-83f259ijn6t7 sr0 sr0
At this point you should see a list of your system drives and a long strings of characters. These long strings are the uuids.
- Now connect your USB device and wait for a few seconds . . .
- Reexecute
blkid -o list -c /dev/null
Notice a new device and UUID? That is your USB storage
blkid does not work as expected, You can look for the UUIDs in
$ ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid/
Mounting USB memory
You need to create the directory in which you are going to mount the device:
# mkdir /mnt/usbstick
As root
Mount the device as root with this command (do not forget to replace device_node by the path you found):
# mount device_node /mnt/usbstick
# mount -U UUID /mnt/usbstick
mount does not recognize the format of the device you can try to use the
-t argument, see
man mount for details.
As normal user with mount
If you want non-root users to be able to write to the USB stick, you can issue the following command:
$ sudo mount -o gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=002 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick
As normal user with fstab
If you want non-root users to be able to mount a USB memory stick via fstab, add the following line to your
/etc/fstab file:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick vfat user,noauto,noatime,flush 0 0
or better:
UUID=E8F1-5438 /mnt/usbstick vfat user,noauto,noatime,flush 0 0
(see description of user and other options in the main article)
/dev/sda1 is replaced with the path to your own usbstick, see Mounting USB memory.
Now, any user can mount it with:
$ mount /mnt/usbstick
And unmount it with:
$ umount /mnt/usbstick
Poor copy performance to USB pendrive
If you experienced slow copy speed to pendrive (mainly in KDE), then merge this three line to the end of your /etc/rc.local:
echo madvise > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled echo madvise > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag echo 0 > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag
And paste these at the end of your /etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.shmmax=134217728 vm.dirty_background_bytes = 4194304 vm.dirty_bytes = 4194304
And reboot. This also reduces the freezes of the KDE's panel.

CEO Tim Armstrong of AOL gets this week's award for foot-in-mouth disease.
In the span of just a few days, Armstrong dramatically altered the company's 401(k) retirement plan for employees and then reversed course after the ensuing uproar. In the process he managed to insult two mothers, turn Obamacare into a political football (again) and create more questions than answers about the nature of AOL's health insurance.
Because of his unintended machinations, Armstrong generated the most publicity for the 1990s Internet darling since AOL's breakup with Time Warner in 2009. Good going, Tim!
It all started last Thursday when Armstrong changed the company's 401(k) plan so employees would get a lump sum at year end instead of regular contributions in each paycheck. The switch was a bad deal for employees. They'd get no money if they left before year end and potentially miss out on stock gains throughout the year.
Armstrong said AOL adopted the measure mainly to offset what he claimed was $7.1 million increase in health-care costs required to make the company complaint with Obamacare. Conservative quickly seized on the issue to castigate the health-care law for the umpteenth time while liberals poked holes in Armstrong's claim. Suddenly AOL /quotes/zigman/577531/delayed /quotes/nls/aol AOL was big news in Washington again.
That might not have been the worst it. Armstrong also blamed the 401(k) shift partly on a spike in health-care costs related to the difficult birth of two babies covered by the company's policies. He said these "distressed" births cost AOL $1 million apiece.
Now just imagine being one of those mothers. Everyone at AOL would start blaming you for their 401(k) troubles! The disbelief was too much for one mom whose husband works at AOL. She wrote an article in Slate to discuss her ordeal since Tim's faux pas. Read: My baby and AOL's bottom line.
Not to worry, ladies! Armstrong took it all back with a weekend mea culpa. On Saturday the plainly distressed CEO reinstated the old 401(k) plan and indirectly apologized for throwing the two moms to the wolves mentioning "specific health-care examples." Read Armstrong's latest letter to employees.
