I bought my first CF-72 several years back and liked it so much that I just bought myself another. I started off with gentoo and after much effort got everything working, except for the touch screen and a usb-wifi dongle. I switched over to Ubuntu when the live disk detected the wifi dongle perfectly, and since then I figured out the touchscreen. I now run Ubuntu 9.10 on both my original 1GHz P3 and my current 1.8GHz P4 CF-72, and everything works perfectly.

|11.1V Li 3.2-3.6Ah, Batteries are designed for specific notebook models.
The chassis is made out of magnesium alloy, and is quite durable. I have tripped over the cord causing the computer to fly from the top of a table or desk to the floor on more than one occasion. However the palm rest and screen bezel are both plastic and quite thin. I cracked the bezel while taking it off and the corner of the palm rest was chipped when it landed on it after taking a dive while open. Luckily the damage was only cosmetic. I found the following resources most useful in learning about this computer.
Although this sight never mentions Linux, it has in depth information about the hardware
This the forum were I learned all about the Panasonic touchscreens. The CF-28,CF-29 and CF-72 all have the same Touchscreen.
This is where I learned how to compile a single kernel module
Any slim(notebook) internal optical drive can be put in the CD sled that pops out of the Media Pocket. However most drives come from the factory set in cable select mode, the way most notebooks are set up. You will have to use an EEPROM program designed for your model of drive to change the Master/Slave/CS setting. There are other ways around this but they all involve soldering the drive sled, something that I have not succeeded at(at the cost of a perfectly good sled!).
If you take the computer completely apart (I mean completely) you will find two mini-pci sockets, one for the modem and one for the wireless card. Neither of the CF-72s that I have came with wifi, but any standard mini-pci card will fit. Bonus points if the card has native Linux support. I pulled the wireless card and antenna wires from an old HP, the hardest part was threading the antenna wires up around the hinge and into the lid.
The batteries for the various CF-72 models notebooks are NOT compatible despite having identical form factors. This may be as simple as different firmware in the Li charge management chips, or they could have completely different management circuitry. Rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are smart batteries. If a Li battery discharges below a point it will be ruined and so there is a chip that prevents this from happening. When the battery meter approaches zero it is actually approaching this threshold. The following chart does not include the CF-VZSU25 battery that came with my CF-72T (pentium3) Toughbook. The Battery seems to work, although it only holds a twenty minute charge at this point.

The touchscreen is the trickiest part. Lucky for you I assembled all the steps into a bash script you can find here http://1bnr.wordpress.com/2009/11/07/cf-72-touchscreen-script-2-0/ . If you still want to fix it the old fashioned way you will need to edit the source and compile the driver, its easier than it sounds.
Lets install some packages.
We need the evtouch module, the latest kernel headers and the kernel source.
# apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evtouch linux-source linux-headers-`uname -r`
The fglrx video driver needs to be removed because it doesn't play nice with the touchscreen driver.
# apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx
Then we need to unpack the source code.
# cd /usr/src # tar -xvjf linux-source-2.6.27.tar.bz2
Since I only want to compile one module and not mess up the makefile in the linux source , I will copy the mouse directory to my home folder for testing and compiling. We only need about half the files but, but its easier to just grab them all. *NOTE* your linux-source version number may differ.
# cp -R /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.27/drivers/input/mouse ~/mouse # cd ~/mouse
The File that we need to edit is lifebook.c
# gedit ./lifebook.c
Search for :
Right below that you will see:
.callback = lifebook_set_serio_phys, .driver_data = "isa0060/serio3",
Delete both lines and put in this:
.callback = lifebook_set_6byte_proto,
Save and exit. Now we need a Makefile, there is one in the folder already but it is designed to work with a full kernel compile. Open it in your preferred text editor.
# gedit ./Makefile
you should see this:
# # Makefile for the mouse drivers. # # Each configuration option enables a list of files. obj-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_AMIGA) += amimouse.o obj-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_APPLETOUCH) += appletouch.o obj-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_BCM5974) += bcm5974.o obj-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_ATARI) += atarimouse.o obj-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_RISCPC) += rpcmouse.o obj-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_INPORT) += inport.o obj-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_LOGIBM) += logibm.o obj-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_PC110PAD) += pc110pad.o obj-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2) += psmouse.o obj-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_SERIAL) += sermouse.o obj-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_HIL) += hil_ptr.o obj-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_VSXXXAA) += vsxxxaa.o obj-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_GPIO) += gpio_mouse.o psmouse-objs := psmouse-base.o synaptics.o psmouse-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ALPS) += alps.o psmouse-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_LOGIPS2PP) += logips2pp.o psmouse-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_LIFEBOOK) += lifebook.o psmouse-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT) += trackpoint.o psmouse-$(CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TOUCHKIT) += touchkit_ps2.o obj
It looks real complicated, but it is for all the mouse drivers, we are only compiling one, the psmouse module. Basically we are only concerned with the lines that contain 'psmouse'. Theses lines tell us witch files to include in our Makefile. I wrote my own make file at the bottom and then deleted the top, that way I had a handy reference. This is what I ended up with:
# # Makefile for the psmouse driver. # obj-m := psmouse.o psmouse-objs := psmouse-base.o synaptics.o alps.o lifebook.o trackpoint.o logips2pp.o elantech.o hgpk.o all: $(MAKE) -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` modules clean: $(MAKE) -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` clean $(RM) Module.markers modules.order
If you are using Ubuntu previous to 9.04 you will need to remove :
elantech.o hgpk.o
from the end of the 'psmouse-objs' line.
OK, now save it and then:
# make
If you don't get any errors then you should have a functioning psmouse.ko file in there. If you get errors, then:
# make clean
Investigate the error and try 'make' again until it goes without errors. It took me about ten tries. OK, we got the driver, lets put it where it's supposed to go, after backing up the original first of course.
# cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/mouse # mv ./psmouse.ko ./psmouse.bak # cp ~/mouse/psmouse.ko ./psmouse.ko
** this section can be skipped if you prefer to use hal to configure Xorg
We are almost done! The Driver won't work unless we put the right setup in the xorg.conf file. Ubuntu 8.10 has a dynamic xorg.conf, most setting are automatically detected, this leaves the file mostly empty. If everything works as it should then incorrect setting are ignored in favor of automatically detected ones, so no risks here! I figured out these settings years ago through trial and error.
# cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.bak # gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Now copy and paste:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file) # # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using # values from the debconf database. # # Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page. # (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.) # # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only* # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg # package. # # Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously # in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings # here are ignored. # # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated # again, run the following command: # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg Section "Module" Load "i2c" Load "bitmap" Load "ddc" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "GLcore" Load "int10" Load "type1" Load "vbe" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "touchscreen" Driver "evtouch" Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-1-event-mouse" Option "DeviceName" "touchscreen" Option "MinX" "230" #"230" Option "MinY" "220" #"220" Option "MaxX" "3900" #"3900" Option "MaxY" "3850" #"3850" Option "MoveLimit" "5" Option "ReportingMode" "Raw" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "Emulate3Timeout" "40" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "mouse" Option "Mode" "Relative" Option "CorePointer" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" #Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" "CorePointer" InputDevice "touchscreen" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection
Save the xorg.conf file, and then reload the psmouse module.
# rmmod psmouse # modprobe psmouse
Save any open work and restart X with ctrl-alt-backspace
You can completely replace the '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' file with a xml file for hal. Copy and paste the following lines into a text editor and save as '/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi'
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <!-- Pointer inputs for the Panasonic CF-72 w/ Touchscreen. Models without touchscreen do not need this file as they are automatically configured by hal --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse"> <match key="info.product" contains="Touchpad"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">mouse</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.Mode" type="string">Relative</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.Device" type="string">/dev/input/mice</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.Protocol" type="string">PS/2</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.CorePointer" type="string">true</merge> </match> </match> </device> <device> <match key="info.product" contains="LBPS/2 Fujitsu Lifebook TouchScreen"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evtouch</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.Device" type="string">/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-1-event-mouse</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.ReportingMode" type="string">Raw</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.MinX" type="string">240</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.MinY" type="string">220</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.MaxX" type="string">3900</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.MaxY" type="string">3800</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.MoveLimit" type="string">5</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.SendCoreEvents" type="string">true</merge> </match> </device> <device> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo>
If you chose to use hal and the 10-x11-input.fdi XML file instead of xorg.conf, you will need to reboot the computer before the touchscreen is usable.
You should now have a functioning touchscreen, if not, is it enabled in the BIOS? If there is no Touchscreen setting in th BIOS then you don't have one and the module compile, 10-x11-input.fdi/xorg.conf portions of this should be disregarded.
Occasionally in Ubuntu 8.10 the touchscreen driver malfunctions and needs to be unloaded and reloaded, this doesn't happen that often and is easily fixed:
$ sudo rmmod psmouse $ sudo modprobe psmouse
and that should do it.

The script that automates this process works with Ubuntu "Karmic Koala" 9.10
and can be found here;
The incorrect code in the kernel driver that the script fixes is still present. One of these days I suppose I should send a diff file off to the kernel dev team . . .
This works also fine with Debian testing (Kernel 2.6.30). Many thanks to the author!
I have not tried this on jaunty, so I can only make a few guesses. The four warnings appear to reflect a undefined variable, this either means that a source file reference is missing from the make file, or that one of the source files is missing some information.
In the first case try look at the original makefile from the source and see if it associates any other files with the psmouse.o file. All files associated with psmouse.o in the original makefile will need to be in your new one.
The second case could happen if you where mixing source files (or maybe because jaunty is still beta). Make sure that all the files are from the same place, either Ubuntu Repos or Kernel.org, not both. I'd just go with the repos myself.
Good luck with jaunty, and report back your results. I tend to wait a few weeks (or months) after the official release from ubuntu. Every time I don't wait, I end up regretting it.
I just wrote a shell script that automates this whole process for Ubuntu 8.10. I then upgraded to 9.04 and found that you need to add 'elantech.o hgpk.o' to the Makefile. That will fix your errors, otherwise the rest is the same.
Details here:
I completed the ps2touchscreen.sh script for patching the mouse driver and configuring X with hal.
Details here:
Thanks for getting this all in one place! I'm just having one problem. This is on jaunty with a 2.6.28-8 kernel. This is what I get when I issue "build". Did you have any problems like this, or know what might be wrong? You can see my full post here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1077033

Guess Donald Trump didn't want Dr. Drew Pinsky's sloppy seconds.
Just a day after Rachel Uchitel signed on for the upcoming edition of Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew, the Donald has dropped the erstwhile Tiger Woods mistress from consideration of the next round of Celebrity Apprentice.
"We no longer have interest in Rachel," Trump's camp said in a statement.
Too bad for her because as of last Friday, sources told E! News the real estate mogul was serious about recruiting her.
But now Team Trump is spinning it a little differently.
"Rachel Uchitel very much wanted to be on Celebrity Apprentice. She asked us, we did not ask her," his rep said. "We were considering it but have 10 people vying for each and every spot. Look what happened to Joan Rivers, Trace Adkins, Piers Morgan, and others who have been on the show."
While Trump may feel jilted, Uchitel is putting herself in good hands with Pinksky, who reportedly will help her kick a prescription pill habit.
She joins a cast that also includes such celebrity substance abusers as 7th Heaven's Jeremy London, The Hills bonehead Jason Wahler, disgraced former teen idol Leif Garrett and ex-model Janice Dickinson.
On the bright side, getting sober beats getting fired.

No wonder the current 'Tiger Woods' is such an atrocious golfer.
fred wrote:Hmm, I had never thought that Tiger Woods might have been replaced. Usually when they replace somebody famous it seems to be to keep a lucrative career or brand name going and sometimes to neutralize a threat. His reputation is so far gone that I doubt there's a lot of residual value to the name anymore.
Usually it's more like newly un-funny "Eddie Murphy". I guess Tiger was rich enough that it could be just a "money grab" and severe form of identity theft. Don't date black widow "Rachel Uchitel", eh?
The new guy can't play golf? Is it true?
Back in the day, departed forum member Ozzy had gathered evidence lot of spook-connected actors and actresses lurking around Arizona in his database. I rather wish he would put that stuff up on the web somewhere I could read it.
Is there a Tiger Woods tie-in to the Arizona mass-shooting psyop?
Maat wrote:So, because some golf star totally destroys his personal life, suffers the inevitable public humiliation for it and is 'off his game' as a result, must have been "whacked" & replaced by a 'sim'? You are joking, right?
I don't care if it is "just sports", there is nothing in this world that involves major money that has not been taken over, co-opted and controlled to the nth degree.
Oh, the first place he supposedly went after he got out of the hospital we are told, was Phoenix.
To rise from the ashes, no doubt. Or not. And Uchitel, that she is linked to a miliary psy-op probably doesn't mean a thing, either, just poor taste on his part, is that it? Whatever.
I come here in a sincere effort to help. By the snide and condescending comments I've received on several occasions, I think this is probably a forum best left to "experts".
Thank you Simon and Hoi Poloi for your hospitality on this forum.

But, surely you don't think you were given the honest to goodness truth by the media regarding Tiger Woods, do you? About the accident? About his head injury? About how the window came to be knocked out of the suv, and all?

For too long, the DamageBox has suffered
with a decent but ungainly combination of video graphics adapters. My PC's mix of an
nVidia Riva 128 card for 2D work and an 8MB Diamond Monster 3D II for 3D gaming has served
me well for a time. In order to make the most of this arrangement, I have even used
the dual video inputs on my CTX PR710 monitor to bypass the video pass-through on the
Voodoo2 card, improving signal quality for the Riva 128 card. Still, there were
quibbles. The Riva 128's 2D video performance in 32-bit color mode is a bit on the
pokey side. The Voodoo2 with 8MB is still very fast, but it's getting a little long
in the tooth. The fancy-schmancy new 2D/3D combo cards sure were looking good, and
many of 'em offer 32-bit color 3D rendering capability, improved image quality, and other
assorted bells and whistles.
Thus, when the folks at Gainward offered Ars the chance to review their new CARDEXpert TNT, I jumped at the opportunity to see just how much greener the grass really was on the other side. I'd played with some TNT and G200 cards before, but that was last fall, when neither chipset had really mature driver support. That said, I wasn't expecting too much out of Gainward--probably just a cheap reference design-based card.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. In fact, I like my video cards to follow the chipset maker's reference design specs pretty closely. Why? Two words: reference drivers. Ever since the launch of Win95, I've been running reference video drivers pretty much constantly. Oh, yeah, I've strayed a time or two, but I have always paid for it. Good, mature video drivers are extremely important to overall system stability in Windows operating systems, and the "value-add" features thrown in by STB, Diamond Multimedia, etc. have generally been, in my experience, not terribly necessary but very likely to consume memory, cause crashes, or introduce video corruption. At the same time, the optimizations made by board manufacturers rarely offer enough of a performance boost to justify running a revision or two behind the reference drivers, which inevitably offer new features and superior optimizations of their own. The very best of the board and driver customizers--manufacturers like Canopus--have made some very nice, well-differentiated products that are, sadly, sometimes even incompatible with the chipset makers' reference drivers. (Canopus's stunning lack of success in the U.S. hasn't exactly bolstered the case for custom board/driver implementations.)
The card
But back to Gainward. Although it's very much compatible with nVidia's reference drivers, the CARDEXpert TNT isn't entirely a reference hardware design. It's smaller than I remember the Creative and STB cards being, but my memory could be failing me. However, unlike both of those cards, the Gainward has a pretty slick little cooling mech on the TNT chip. It's a heat sink with an integrated fan, a la the popular Tennmax Lasagna coolers. Here are the pictures, which tell it better than I can:
Pretty slick, eh? I'm as conservative about overclocking my video cards as I am about which video drivers I use, but I have been able to run the Gainward TNT card through everyday use and through extensive benchmark testing without a hint of trouble at 100MHz for the TNT core and 115MHz for the video RAM. That's a bit above the respective defaults of 90MHz and 110MHz. I also used PowerStrip's "fast memory timing" setting without any negative repercussions.
As you can tell from the pictures above, the CARDEXpert TNT doesn't include a TV out port, which I don't miss since my monitor is nearly as large as my TV, anyhow. (And you try moving an SC-750A downstairs to the living room every time you want to play Mario on UltraHLE. Sheesh.) The RAM chips you see in the picture are each 2MB SDRAM chips, for a total of 16MB of SDRAM on the card. Note also that the BIOS chip is socketed, which could save you from having to throw out the card if you got a power blip while flashing the card's BIOS. Most of this stuff is standard fare for a TNT card, but it's good to see Gainward didn't cut any important corners.

Next Episode of Tiswas is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
Tiswas ("Today Is Saturday Watch And Smile") was a Saturday morning children's British television series which ran from 5 January 1974 to 3 April 1982 and was produced for the ITV network by ATV Network Limited.It was created by ATV continuity announcer Peter Tomlinson following a test period in 1973 when he tried out a few competitions and daft stuff between the programmes.Most famously hosted by Chris Tarrant between 1974 and 1981, and later Sally James, it also featured the young Lenny Henry and occasionally Jim Davidson together with Bob Carolgees and his puppet, Spit the Dog. John Gorman, former member of 1960s cult band The Scaffold, was also a presenter. On the programme, Birmingham folk-singer and comedian Jasper Carrott was to introduce the nation to the "Dying Fly Dance" and also to many local hospital casualty wards as the dance at one point soared high in the RoSPA list of common causes of household injury. Like its cleaner BBC counterpart, Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, it had a running order but no script (with the exception of some specific sketches). The programme was broadcast from Studio 3 at ATV Centre in Birmingham; this was the weekday home for the company's regional news magazine, ATV Today.The show was a stitch-together of competitions, film clips and pop promos, just about held together by sketches and links from the cast. The show also regularly featured spoofs of BBC children's programming.A feature of Tiswas was 'The Cage' wherein initially the child audience, and later their parents, were confined and periodically doused in water (one spin-off of the series was the hit The Bucket of Water Song, performed by the Four Bucketeers), whilst the series was also frequently visited by the Phantom Flan Flinger, who would throw flans around the studio at all and sundry. Both Tarrant and the Flan Flinger would take great delight in trying to 'flan' cameramen who would go to great lengths to avoid being hit.

Aurelius Prudentius
Roman Christian poet
Aurelius Prudentius Clemens was a Roman Christian poet, born in the Roman province of Tarraconensis (now Northern Spain) in 348. He probably died in Spain, as well, some time after 405, possibly around 413. The place of his birth is uncertain, but it may have been Caesaraugusta Saragossa, Tarraco Tarragona, or Calagurris Calahorra.
Prudentius practised law with some success, and was twice provincial governor, perhaps in his native country, before the emperor Theodosius I summoned him to court. Towards the end of his life (possibly around 392) Prudentius retired from public life to become an ascetic, fasting until evening and abstaining entirely from animal food. Prudentius later collected the Christian poems written during this period and added a preface, which he himself dated 405.
The poetry of Prudentius is influenced by early Christian authors, such as Tertullian and St. Ambrose, as well as the Bible and the acts of the martyrs. His Christmas plainsong hymn "Divinum Mysterium" ("Of the Father's Love Begotten") and the hymn for Epiphany "O sola magnarum urbium" ("Earth Has Many a Noble City"), both from the Cathemerinon, are still in use today. The allegorical Psychomachia, however, is his most influential work and became the inspiration and wellspring of medieval allegorical literature.
Works by Aurelius Prudentius
His poetry inspired by Tertullian, St. Ambrose, and other early church Fathers, Prudentius' hymns are some of the oldest Christian hymns still sung in churches today. "Divinum Mysterium" ("Of the Father's Love Begotten") and "O sola magnarum urbium" ("Earth Has Many a Noble City") number among his currently well-known hymns. These 1905 English translations from the original Latin texts come from Robert Martin Pope, a Wesleyan minister and scholar.

The PlayStation Vita is something of an oddity — a pricy, powerful portable gaming console adrift in a sea of smartphones, touchscreen controls and inexpensive app-store games. All the same, we have a fondness for Sony's beefy handheld, and the many unusual games you can play on it.
The Vita gives us a handheld machine with sticks, touch panels, lots of buttons, lots of online features and, oh yeah, graphical horsepower like we've never seen before in a gaming handheld. It lets you stream PS4 games remotely, which can actually work really well under the right circumstances. It also allows you to download and play select PSP games, the best of which sit comfortably next to their higher-resolution Vita brothers and sisters.
So, what must you play on this thing? Start with these games.
Unimaginable on any other platform and busting with imagination, Tearaway is a Vita dream come true. At its most basic, the game is a basic 3D platformer set in a world that appears to be made of construction paper. The trick is that the people of this world appear to be aware of you. They can see you, thanks to the Vita's front-facing camera streaming a feed of your face into their world as their sun. They can feel the impact of your fingers as your forefinger and middle finger can tap the rear of the system to poke through their terrain. This game is wonderfully like nothing else.
A Good Match For: Fans of development studio Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet games and for fans of Instagram. This game basically has its own in-game version of the popular photo-modifying app.
Not a Good Match For: Grumpy people who don't like cute stuff.

Gravity Rush is a delight, an open-world adventure game built around a truly new-feeling mechanic. The protagonist Kat is able to re-orient gravity, letting her fall in any direction. It's something of a mix between falling and flying, and it makes the game a uniquely disorienting, highly enjoyable experience. Combine those mechanical smarts with a wonderfully imaginative, fun story, lush visuals, gorgeous art design and a dizzy, grand soundtrack and you've got a real winner for the PSVita. A Good Match For: Crackdown and Infamous fans, people who like their games to look and play differently, jazz-heads.
Not a Good Match For: Those who want familiar mechanics, deep and involved combat.

"Waiter, I'd like a large order of high school drama with a side... of murder." That's Danganronpa for you, a high school social simulator/murder mystery that combines elements of Phoenix Wright, Clue, Persona and Battle Royale into a pulpy stew of bloody entertainment. This is the first time we've collapsed two games into a single entry on The Bests, but considering that both games, Trigger Happy Havoc and Goodbye Despair came out in the same year and tell two halves of a complete story, we feel ok about it. Monokuma agrees. Puhuhu…
A Good Match For: Anyone looking for a fun story to occupy their time for the next 30-40 hours, anyone who likes the games/movies/manga listed in the description above.
Not A Good Match For: Anyone looking for challenging gameplay — both games feature weird minigames that take place at various points in the story, but they're mostly just linear visual novels that you slowly work your way through.

Rymdkapsel is a real-time-strategy base-building game with a Tetris twist. It's also all touch-screen, but don't let that worry you. It's still superb on Vita. The game's Swedish developers call it "meditative space strategy." It's simple. Place odd-shaped floors of different colours on a plane in outer space. Command little rectangular men to farm on or work in these spaces to generate resources to build more spaces and feed more workers. Rally the little men to defend the base against alien invaders every so often. Survive and repeat. This is a minimalist game, a stripping down of the real-time-strategy genre that went baroque with the visually and technically complex top franchises StarCraft and Company of Heroes. Rymdkapsel makes its more ornate competitors feel needlessly garnished.
A Good Match For: Gamers looking for a portable real-time-strategy game. There ain't much to choose from, and this one has the bonus advantage of being good.
Not a Good Match For: Those who want a lot of action or complexity. This is a mellow game with a single unit-type and a handful of rooms to create. Players won't be progressing through complex skill trees.

Combining the PlayStation 3's PixelJunk Shooter and PixelJunk Shooter 2, PJS Ultimate is a two-in-one pack of well-designed, great-looking and great-sounding 2D flying/shooting/rescuing games. You control a little craft that you fly through a series of caverns. Each area contains some people to rescue (use your grappling hook), creatures to kill (use your guns), gems to find (use your brain) and, coolest of all, some sort of incredibly-animated liquid: lava, water and weirder stuff. The fluids are the stars of the game, as they realistically splash, flow, deform, melt, and cool in ways that aren't just special to see but affect gameplay. Both games were created by Q-Games, a Kyoto-based studio that use the Shooter games to demonstrate their mastery of tight, clever level design, one cavern at a time.
A Good Match For: People looking for something hand-crafted and focused, a break from modern gaming's indulgence in open worlds or randomly-generated levels. Play this pair of games to experience the delightful sort of conversation, as it were, that a game designer can have with their player, one full of surprises, teases, challenges and solutions. Co-op is an option.
Not a Good Match For: Those looking for a Vita original (you might have this on PS3) nor for those looking for a more rapid-fire shoot-em-up, which this is not.

It should not feel this cool to brutally murder people, but that may well be Hotline Miami's entire point. The top-down killfest would be fun with the sound turned off, but the astoundingly good soundtrack elevates things to a different, more disturbingly stylish level.
The game made a big splash on PC, and for a while, mouse-control seemed like the only worthwhile fit for its brand of extremely fast, unforgiving action. But Hotline Miami works surprisingly well with the Vita's controls, thanks in part to the ability to tag enemies for locked-on shots, which lets you plan each room-assault with a bit more precision. Groovy, disturbing, disgusting, and worryingly satisfying, Hotline Miami is one of the Vita's most potent, darkly enjoyable games.
A Good Match For: Fans of exploitation cinema, old-school twitchy action fans, perfectionists, sociopaths.
Not A Good Match For: The weak-stomached, those who don't like violence, people who want a forgiving game and/or hate electronic music.

Possibly the best modern roguelike around, Spelunky is a platformer where you take a whip, a lasso, bombs, and whatever you find along the way in an attempt to go as deep as possible into randomly-generated ancient caves. The reason? Treasure, of course. Think of yourself as a cute version of Indiana Jones. While the game has appeared on other platforms, it feels at home on the Vita — Spelunky is devilishly hard and holds many secrets about the way its world and creatures work. Players can expect to die countless times as they learn how to get around. One run might last 30 seconds, the next might last 15 minutes, and both might be completely different from one other — you'll play in bursts, which is perfect for on-the-go gaming. With its randomly generated levels and new daily challenges, Spelunky is a game that will likely stay on your Vita for a good long while to come.
A Good Match For: Anyway with tenacity and a sense of wonder. The game is difficult, but it's also fascinating — there are a ton of rules and mysteries to uncover, which is compounded by the fact that most of the game is procedurally generated.
Not a Good Match For: Players looking for a relaxed experience: Spelunky demands that you learn how to play well, else you're not going to get very far.

Japanese high school never seemed so much fun. Persona 4 Golden, a remake of the critically-acclaimed PlayStation 2 role-playing game, combines a social simulator and a hardcore RPG with surprisingly addictive results. Take midterms in the morning, eat steak with your girlfriend on the roof for lunch, then head to the mall after school to fight off shadow monsters in a dangerous world that exists inside televisions. Just another day in Persona 4's Japan.
A Good Match For: RPG fans who want something different than the standard fantasy or sci-fi fare, or Persona fans looking for a good excuse to replay the fourth one.
Not a Good Match For: Something short. Persona 4 Golden will take you something like 70-80 hours to beat — and that's before you start New Game Plus.

Virtue's Last Reward is a visual novel — in other words, it's mostly text — but don't hold that against it. As you weave through the game's narrative branches, you'll do some things you could only do in a video game, and you'll discover a story that could only be told in a video game. The hook: Nine people are trapped in a facility where they're forced to participate in a twisted version of the prisoner's dilemma, and... well, the less I tell you, the better.
A Good Match For: Anyone who likes good stories — particularly grisly ones.
Not a Good Match For: People who don't like to read, or can't stand anime-ish characters and voices.

Maybe you played through Final Fantasy X and X-2 back in the day and want to relive them. Or maybe you've never played them. Either way, the remastered versions of both games find a fine new home on the Vita. They're perfect for on-the-go play, and given both games' generous lengths should keep you occupied on commutes for months to come. And is there a better way to experience FFX's endearingly awful voice acting than while wearing headphones on the bus? There is not.

Remember back when people thought a game needed realistic graphics with flashy characters to successfully convey a story with real heart and soul? Thomas Was Alone is proof that we were incredibly stupid back then. Using nothing more than coloured quadrilaterals, indie developer Mike Bithell created a challenging puzzle platformer that tells a story much larger than what you see on your Vita screen. Through clever narration and intelligent level design that's one part obstacle course, one part character development, Thomas Was Alone has a warmth and depth that adds gentle curves to the sharp edges of its four-sided heroes.
A Good Match For: Platformer and puzzles fans with a healthy imagination, folks who think they're so clever.
Not a Good Match For: Those who can't relate to a platforming hero unless it has eyes, sunglasses and a sassy attitude.

Something is wrong with Isaac's mum: She thinks that she can hear God. And God, disturbingly enough, has instructed her to kill Isaac. The only way Isaac can get out of that hellish situation is by jumping into his basement — which happens to be endless, and full of terrors. Thankfully, these demons can be defeated by directing Isaac's tears, twin-stick shooter style, across Zelda-like dungeons. Well.. they're like Zelda if Zelda was full of horrifying hellspawn, poop, and tons of mysterious items which you don't know how to use...yet.
A Good Match For: Players who like a challenge, especially of the roguelike variety. A lot of the appeal with the Binding of Isaac is that it's full of stuff you don't grok the first time around.
Not A Good Match For: Players who are sensitive to gross stuff or jokes about religion, or people who are just looking to relax while playing a game.

How has this list changed? Read back through our update history:
Update 26/11/14: The Vita list gets a much needed update. We've cleared out LittleBigPlanet Vita, Super Stardust Delta, OlliOlli and Sound Shapes to make room for newcomers Final Fantasy X/X-2, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate, and Danganronpa 1&2.
Update 5/3/2014: We've wrestled with a number of good recent Vita games, but only one has made it all the way to the list: The rail-grinding OlliOlli, which bumps off Assassin's Creed: Liberation.
Update 10/12/13: With a new design overhaul for The Bests come a few new games: Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Rayman: Origins and FIFA Soccer leave to make room for Tearaway, Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward and Spelunky.
Update 21/8/13: Vita price drop officially announced! Sony dropped the news at Gamescom yesterday, to the welcoming arms and ears of probably many gamers. If you were waiting for just this kind of news to hit before making your handheld hardware purchase, now is the time to check out what games you'll want to get started with. We've made a few adjustments in light of the recent events, swapping in Hotline Miami, Rymdkapsel and Thomas Was Alone in place of Hot Shots Golf, Lumines and Where Is My Heart. Take a look at our new list below.
Update 12/11/12: The quality of titles available for Sony's handheld keeps getting better so we're refreshing the list of what we think are the best games for the PlayStation Vita. New to the Bests for Vita are: Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, Need for Speed Most Wanted and Persona 4 Golden. Games that fell off the list include Mutant Blobs Attack, Wipeout 2048 and Escape Plan. They're still good but their replacements are just a wee bit more impressive.

WikiLeaks: Pentagon Papers 2.0?
On Sunday, the website WikiLeaks published tens of thousands of classified intelligence reports from military operations in Afghanistan.
This set of documents is unquestionably the most important history so far of key parts of the U.S. war in Afghanistan. These are reports from troops and commanders in the field to other military officials—this is where they tell the truth, to themselves. It is significant that the Obama administration has not tried to claim the reports are not accurate. What they are trying to do is to have it both ways: claiming that disclosure of the reports somehow endangers U.S. troops, but at the same time disparaging the documents as showing nothing we didn't already know.
These reports, of events already past, are hardly likely to endanger the troops in Afghanistan—the people and insurgencies in Afghanistan and Pakistan don't need Pentagon documents to know what U.S./NATO forces are actually doing in their countries.
The documents probably will have a significant impact on the U.S./NATO war though—just not what the White House is warning of. These reports will likely stoke even greater global anger around the world, as evidence filters out to those far from Afghanistan and Pakistan who didn't already know what the U.S./NATO occupation looks like. That will certainly mean rising anger towards U.S. policies and, unfortunately, towards Americans as a whole ... but more importantly it will spur enormous anti-war activity in places like Europe, Canada, Australia, and Turkey. And that means greater pressure on those governments still providing troops for Washington's war in Afghanistan. And most important of all, they will mean greater pressure than ever on the Obama administration to end the war and on Congress to vote NO on the current supplemental war funding bill.
There is no evidence yet of a new smoking gun among the individual documents. But taken as a whole, the documents provide a collective arsenal of evidence of a brutal war that never did have a chance to "succeed"—and evidence of what a government, through two administrations, were determined to keep secret from its own people and the rest of the world.
The documents chronicle escalating Special Forces' operations, drone attacks, and more. They describe activities like those of Task Force 373, a death squad that goes after named individuals on a kill-or-capture list. No trial, of course. Who knows how much of the intelligence that lands someone on that list is rooted in a neighborhood feud or tribal or political power struggle?
General McChrystal's—and now General Petraeus's—"nation-building" efforts are failing. In places like Marja, last spring's poster-city of a new U.S.-backed "government-in-a-box," the hand-picked mayor-in-a-box, who spent most of the last 15 years living in Germany, is so unpopular that he has to be ferried into town on U.S. military helicopters for occasional meetings, and then quickly whisked away. The much-heralded spring 2010 offensive in Kandahar is on apparently permanent delay.
I haven't yet read even a fraction of the 92,000 reports covering 250,000 pages. But the overviews provided by the international journalists to whom the reports were first made available are certainly consistent with the view that the "counter-insurgency" approach is already giving way to an old-fashioned Bush-style counter-terrorism war. That would mean that claims that protecting Afghan civilians is most important fade in favor of acknowledging that the military's role is simply to kill whoever they decide are the bad guys. So if the war becomes more of an air war, and drones are called in to do more of the dirty work so that U.S. troops are not at risk, and more Afghan or Pakistani civilians are killed as a result, well that's just part of the cost of war.
An End to Constant War:
Seven reasons we're always at war...
and seven ways to quit.
The documents include evidence of far more civilian deaths than were ever reported in the press. Many of them were probably never even mentioned—or asked about—in the virtually non-existent Congressional oversight of these years. They detail massive levels of corruption, extortion, and constant violence inflicted on Afghan civilians by the U.S.-backed, U.S.-trained and U.S.-funded militias known as the Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police.
And they demonstrate, again, the continuing links between Pakistan's top military intelligence agency, the ISI, and the top leadership of the Taliban—despite claims by Secretary of State Clinton and others in the Obama administration that Pakistan is a reliable U.S. ally that just needs to work a little harder on going after terrorists. The Obama administration's answer to the documents simply repeats their efforts to blur the very distinct organizations known as the Afghan Taliban (mostly based in Pakistan but operating in Afghanistan) and the Pakistani Taliban (who target the Pakistani government, and against whom that government has indeed acted) into a generic presence in Pakistan known as "the terrorists" or "the Taliban." Pointing to Islamabad's actions against the Pakistani Taliban says nothing about their officials' ties with and apparent support for the Afghan Taliban.
The Wikileaks Papers provide a treasure trove of new evidence of what we already knew: this war has already failed. Every death, of Afghan civilian or of U.S. or NATO soldiers\, is needless. Every dollar spent on military actions in Afghanistan and Pakistan is wasted. The cost of this occupation and this war—in Afghan blood, in U.S. and NATO military blood, in the billions of dollars needed for jobs at home and real reconstruction in Afghanistan and elsewhere—is too high. We need to stop the funding for escalation now, bring the troops and contractors home, support Afghan and regional/UN diplomacy, and begin the long effort of making good on our huge debt to the peoples of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Congress is voting on $33 billion to pay for Obama's already-underway escalation in Afghanistan—enough to pay for 500,000 good green union jobs at home and still have billions left to start paying down our debt to Afghanistan for real reconstruction and diplomacy.
Maybe, just maybe, this 21st century Pentagon Papers—the 2.0 version: Afghanistan—will provide the spark of anti-war outrage to make that happen.

We are a company specializing in lead generation for attorneys and financial professionals who work with older adults. Our company's clients are looking for us to deliver them targeted leads who are interested in estate planning, wills, probate, and other related services.
The two primary targets for the web page we'd like to create are middle and upper-class older adults who have a spouse either in, or about to enter, a nursing home and the children of older adults in the same situation. As such, the site should be clean and easy-to-use, and should appeal to people in those demographics.
This is a very simple "squeeze page." It will be a one-page web site designed for one purpose: to get the prospect to opt-in to an e-mail follow-up sequence. As such, the elements of the design will be fairly basic: We need a place to display an attention-grabbing headline at the top of the page. Directly below the headline, we'd like a two-column web page...the column on the right would be more narrow and would be where the opt-in form (name, address, etc. would go), and the column on the left would be the place where the sales letter copy would go. The only other elements we really need on the page would be a way for blockquotes and bulleted lists to stand out.
Other considerations would be as follows: Given the nature of the site, the headline graphic/area at the top of the page may wish to incorporate a photo or photos of seniors and their families or spouses. We'd also like the opt-in area to "pop" -- it should be clear to the user that the opt-in form is what we want them to complete to get the information promised in the headline. This "pop" could come from a large arrow, contrast in colors, or something like that.
You can see examples of squeeze pages at squeezepages.com. Please contact me with any questions...thanks!

From Erica:
Last Thursday, May 2nd, at about 11:30 a.m. (Not rush hour), I was waiting for a train to U Street at L'Enfant Plaza. The platform was almost empty, and there were three others standing with me when the train stopped.
The doors opened, and they were open for about 30 seconds, just long enough for the three others to walk on (no one got off).
Then, as I was walking on, the doors slammed SHUT. WITHOUT WARNING! No warning chimes. No warning recording.
I couldn't get out. I was scared the train was going to start moving. Both my hand and leg were jammed and being squeezed so hard, I couldn't walk for a couple of minutes after the doors opened.
I have bruises on my hand and leg, and my hand was actually bleeding.
Of course, the guy driving the train didn't care. He yelled me.
The station manager didn't care, and merely threw a piece of paper at me and said, "If you have a complaint, fill this out and send it it." He wouldn't event talk to me. He walked away and shut the door of his cubicle.
Is there a reason why Metro employees are so miserable and surly? And what is Metro's responsibility in this situation? I want to know who that conductor was, and I want to see that he has been punished in some way.

Lady Monarchs Final Four Bound
By ODU Athletics
Nov. 17, 2002
NORFOLK, VA -- The Old Dominion Lady Monarch field hockey team will be heading to its 15th "Final Four" as they defeated the University of Maryland, 4-1, on a rainy afternoon at Foreman Field in NCAA Tournament second round action.
Old Dominion, ranked number one in the final STX/NFHCA Poll and the top seed in this year's NCAA Tournament, improved to 21-3 overall, the 12th season the Lady Monarchs have collected 20 or more wins. Fifth ranked Maryland completes its season 17-5. Maryland and Old Dominion were the only two teams this season to hold on to the top spot in the STX/NFHCA Division I Coaches' Poll.
"I'm proud of the way we competed today," said Old Dominion head coach Beth Anders. "We came out today and played hard, but more importantly, we came out and played like a team."
Lady Monarch junior forward Angie Loy (Loysville, PA) collected the hat trick leading Old Dominion with three goals. Sister, senior midfielder Becky Loy (Loysville, PA), added in the fourth and final goal for the Lady Monarchs. The Terps' freshman forward Tiffany Marsh (Marathon, NY) scored the lone goal for Maryland.
Old Dominion took a 2-0 lead after the first half of play. Angie Loy scored the game's first goal 25 minutes into the contest on a breakaway into the circle. Loy then collected goal number two on a tip-in off a pass from senior midfielder Tiffany Snow (Escondido, CA) on a penalty corner.
The Lady Monarchs extended their lead to 3-0 with 28:42 remaining in the game. After a missed shot on the Terp net, sophomore Lotte Bant (Amsterdam, Holland) fed the ball to Angie Loy, who was waiting directly in front of the Maryland net to record goal number three.
The Terp offense did not give up though, breaking onto the scoreboard with 16:36 to go. Marsh reached the back of the Lady Monarch net off a rebound from the Old Dominion net minder. However, less than three minutes later, the Lady Monarchs upped its lead back to four as Becky Loy scored in a scramble in front of the Terp net.
Freshman goalkeeper Tori Cano (Sea Cliff, NY), making just her third career start in net for the Terrapins, recorded a career-high eight saves, while Old Dominion keeper senior Marybeth Freeman (Holland, PA) made six stops.
Old Dominion outshot the Terps, 19-11, and also out corned Maryland, 7-3.
"I am disappointed we are not moving on," said Maryland head coach Missy Meharg. "But, I am very proud of the way Maryland competed this year. It was a very good season for Maryland."
The Lady Monarchs return to action at the University Louisville, host site of this year's "Final Four" on Friday, November 22nd at 5:00 p.m. against Penn State, who defeated Princeton, 3-2, in State College, PA. Old Dominion will look to avenge a 2-3 loss to the Lady Lions from October 27th. Michigan State, who beat Northeastern 2-1 on penalty strokes, and Wake Forest, who downed fellow ACC rival Duke 2-0, will play in the other NCAA semi-final.

Where TPP Goes Beyond ACTA -- And How It Shows Us The Future Of IP Enforcement
from the coming-your-way dept
ACTA and TPP have much in common. That's no coincidence, since they are both born of a common desire to move away from multilateral forums like WIPO that are relatively open to scrutiny, to invitation-only groups negotiating behind closed doors. That lack of transparency has allowed all kinds of extreme measures to be proposed without any countervailing arguments being heard about why they are neither fair nor sensible.
But in many ways, what's really interesting is how the two treaties differ, because it's clear that in many places TPP goes well beyond ACTA -- it's not simply a transposition of ACTA to the Pacific Rim. As such, those differences represent the next turn of the copyright enforcement screw, and give us a fascinating insight into where the copyright maximalists are likely to be pushing for more when it comes to drawing up successors to ACTA and SOPA, say.
That fact makes some recent work by Carrie Ellen Sager particularly useful. She has prepared a detailed comparison of the US proposal for a TPP Chapter on IP (the only information we have on TPP so far) with the relevant sections of ACTA. There are two versions: a full comparison table (pdf) and one with the highlights (pdf). In what follows, I'll be quoting from the latter.
Here's a typical way in which TPP is even more stringent than ACTA:
Under ACTA, a country may give its authorities the power to force an ISP to identify an infringer to rightholders, subject
to certain conditions. Under TPP, a country shall establish administrative or judicial procedures for forcing an ISP to identify an infringer to rightholders, without ACTA's conditions.
That's important, because much of ACTA is optional in this way: TPP indicates how the copyright industries will be pushing to turn its frequent use of "may" into "shall" when it comes to implementation. They will be able to do that because ACTA sets a floor for enforcement, but allows signatories to go beyond its terms if they wish.
On "Technological Protection Measures" TPP has two nasty turns of the infringement screw:
TPP goes beyond ACTA by applying provisions on technological protection where circumvention is carried out unknowingly or without reasonable grounds to know.
TPP goes beyond ACTA by explicitly limiting the possible limitations and exclusions to the TPM circumvention rules, while ACTA gives a country free reign to create exceptions and limitations it finds reasonable.
The second of those is particularly troublesome, since it reduces the scope for signatories to introduce more balanced copyright laws even if they wanted to.
In the criminal penalties section, there are the following differences:
TPP goes beyond ACTA by omitting safeguard that such penalties shall be consistent with "the level of penalties applied for crimes of a corresponding gravity."
The net effect of those changes is to make the criminal penalties much harsher, and to push for them to be applied in every case. The last of the above differences means that even casual copyright infringement caused by swapping files with friends might be subject to criminal penalties.
TPP goes beyond ACTA by requiring party members to establish policies or guidelines to "encourage judicial authorities to [actually] impose those penalties."
TPP goes beyond ACTA by requiring criminal penalties for copyright or related rights infringements "that have no direct or indirect motivation of financial gain."
There's also bad stuff on the civil penalties side:
TPP goes beyond ACTA by requiring pre-established damages to be "sufficiently high to constitute a deterrent to future
infringement." Additionally, unlike ACTA, TPP provides that in patent infringement cases, the damages may be increased up to three times the injury.
Applying ACTA to patents was made optional towards the end of the negotiations, and it's interesting to see TPP putting them back as compulsory. The other elements make losing even more expensive, which patent trolls will love when they come to make their threats against real innovators who will be forced to pay up rather than take a chance of being hit with crippling damages.
TPP goes beyond ACTA by adding patent infringement to the list of case types for which a losing party may be required to pay court costs and attorney's fees (in addition to copyright and trademark infringement cases).
As these excerpts make clear, TPP effectively tidies up all the lose ends that ACTA left dangling -- generally imposing far harsher penalties, adding back patents, and making everything compulsory rather than optional. It also provides us with a clear sense of what ACTA 2.0 will be like unless it is negotiated with real transparency that allows all parties, including civil groups and the general public, to have their voices heard.

chromium oxide
Chromium Oxide Green is a dull, dense, willow or pale green color that is completely opaque. It has an average drying time and a low tinting strength. It is fairly flexible in oil form and is suitable for all purposes and mediums. This pigment is less versatile in mixtures than Viridian and Phthalocyanine Green, but mixes well with other colors without overpowering them.
Chromium Oxide Green has excellent permanence, even at high temperatures.
Chromium Oxide Green is slightly toxic. Evidence of Chromium(III) carcinogenicity is inconclusive. Chromium(III) salts appear in greenish pigments such as PG17. Chromium(VI) salts, which appear in yellowish pigments, have been proven to cause cancer.
Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin discovered the element chromium in lead chromate in 1797. It began to be used as an enamel and ceramic color in 1809, but it had limited use as a pigment until 1862, because of its cost. It is the most commonly used green for military camouflage because it appears the same shade as living foliage under infrared light.
Chrome Oxide Green, Olive Green, Permanent Green. Varieties of Chromium Oxide Green include Arnaudon's Green, Dingler's Green, Plessy's Green, and Schnitzer's Green.
titanium dioxide
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as completely non-toxic. Animal studies give no indiciation that it is absorbed biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern is with inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium White, if inhaled in large amounts over the course of several years, may cause a benign pneumoconiosis that is visible on x-rays. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers fine titanium dioxide particles, if inhaled, to be a human carcinogen. The primary concern for artists is to avoid exposure to fine particulate dust from raw pigments.
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.

Parties prompting voters to mark absentee ballots in Maine
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � Election Day is more than a month away, but many Mainers will be marking their ballots before then.
The state's political parties are encouraging voters to apply for absentee ballots and vote early.
The Democratic Party says phone calls to potential voters are being made from field offices. A robo call voiced by former Democratic Sen. George Mitchell reminds listeners that Maine law does not require voters to give any special reason for voting absentee.
Republicans say their local candidates are getting the word to voters, and there's a mailing program targeting people who've voted absentee and those who might lean Republican.
Absentee ballots will become available in municipal offices by Oct. 5. Voters have until Nov. 1 � five days before the election � to request them.

Making Movies 20 Years Ago vs. Today: A World Of Difference
from the two-podcasts deptI recently listened to two very (very) different podcasts, but which really highlighted something kind of amazing: it's so much easier to make a movie today. We're talking a completely different world. Of course, most of us knew that already, and it's why we see things like many more movies being made today than ever before in the past. But between these two podcasts, what's driven home is how much the old system relied on gatekeepers, and how little the new system needs such gatekeepers.
The first podcast was a recent episode of Kevin Smith & Scott Mosier's Smodcast, in which Smith digs (deep) into his archives to find a ton of old voicemail recordings that give you a taste of the process of making his original film, Clerks and actually getting it picked up and shown in theaters (it comes after the discussion of the war against sharks at the beginning, which is entertaining too...). At first I just thought it was kind of awesome to get that kind of behind-the-scenes look (or, listen) to all the people that had to "appreciate" Clerks before it was picked up by Miramax and became that indie film classic it shall forever remain. It's amazing to listen to all of those voicemails and go back 20 years and learn about what happened. But there are all sorts of people who have to get involved and become boosters of the film. Smith and Mosier were lucky that one influential guy caught the movie at their original showing in NY, and then he helped get a writeup by an influential reporter, who helped get others interested in the film, but each step of the way, a champion had to say "hey, you should send a tape to so-and-so."
But then I thought about just how different the world is today. While people can go through gatekeepers, we see an entire new generation of filmmakers (and other content creators) who don't need to hope that someone influential catches the flick in its only theater showing. They don't have to find "the" guy who sold indie films to studios. They don't have to find "the" reporter who writes about indie films. Yes, some of those things can help, but they can now use sites like YouTube and Vimeo to post the work (or snippets of it) online for free. They can use social media to build a following. They can use Kickstarter and TopSpin and other tools to make money. It's an entirely different world.
And that point was driven home when I listened to the very next podcast in my playlist, from Alec Baldwin's Here's the Thing podcast, in which he interviews two documentary filmmakers who basically made (controversial) films on effectively no budget at all. While the types of movies are quite different from Clerks, listening to the two podcasts, one after the other, you realize that the documentary filmmakers probably wouldn't even have attempted to make those films two decades ago.
It's an amazing new world for creative arts, with tremendous new opportunity. Those who are complaining that things are worse these days seem to be living in an alternate reality. If things are "worse," it's only because there may be more competition for attention -- which is a real challenge. But there's so much more opportunity and so many fewer gatekeepers needed, that it's difficult not to be excited for the kinds of creativity we're seeing today and will inevitably see in the future.
