Of all the actors who made the original Star Wars trilogy such a success, few have dismissed their role in George Lucas' sci-fi universe as much as Harrison Ford, who has famously failed to understand the appeal of iconic smuggler Han Solo who he first brought to life in the original 1977 film. However, a new rumor suggests that Ford might be gearing up to reprise his role in the recently announced next installment of the franchise.
"As a character [Han Solo] was not so interesting to me," Ford told ABC News back in 2010.
Over at EW.com, however, an anonymously sourced report suggests that Ford and his Star Wars costars Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher could all be primed for a cameo in the seventh Star Wars movie that was recently lined up for a 2015 release. And while it's usually bad form to put too much stock in unofficial, anonymously sourced reports like this, the author of the article has some history working with Ford and Lucas' Star Wars universe (he hosted Ford's rare 2010 appearance at a charity screening of The Empire Strikes Back), so there's certainly some precedent there.
Before you get too excited, though, it's worth noting that Han Solo's return to the screen could mean an end to his chapter of the Star Wars saga. As the article notes, Ford originally pushed to have his character die in Return of the Jedi, but was overruled by Lucas. A new chapter in the Star Wars story could mean a new chance to see Han finally meet his end.
Also on the Star Wars front is another unofficial report that, although somewhat less reputable, is certainly worth considering.
Collider reports that Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn could be one of the filmmakers under consideration for the new Star Wars movie. The site suggests that Vaughn's decision to back out of the sequel to X-Men: First Class was made in order to free up his calendar for Disney, the new owners of the the Star Wars franchise thanks to last week's blockbuster $4.05 billion deal.

"Serene Optimism Logo" is a quick jingle using marimba and several plucked synth leads and pads. It meshes these acoustic and synth elements to create a clean, positive and slightly futuristic logo identifier.
This identifier could be used in a couple of different ways. As implied, it would be ideal as a companion to logo graphics (e.g. technology, web or software design company logos) but it might also prove useful as a musical cue sound effect for broadcast news-themed cartoon, podcast or video projects.
Thanks for listening.

Coolest part about being on set for this one? Chatting with Tim Reid, whom we cast in a guest role as a tribute to "Frank's Place," a great show about New Orleans.
Being a comedy nerd, I asked Mr. Reid about his early years in standup comedy... that is, his partnership with Tom Dreesen in a pioneering black-and-white comedy act. (They wrote a very entertaining book in 2008 – "Tim and Tom" – about those days.)
If I'd known about the YouTube video below, I would've asked Tim Reid about this. Reid's big break in Hollywood came as a sketch player on "The Richard Pryor Show."
Check out this uncensored clip from the final episode of "The Richard Pryor Show." It is scan-do-lous! You'll recognize not only a young Tim Reid... but Marsha Warfield and Paul "Miss Thing" Mooney. ("Spoon on the end" is John Witherspoon.)
To see the next clip in the sequence, where Richard flames Robin Williams and Sandra Bernhard, click here.

"Treme" yet another tired derivative theme of urban pathos with the usual cardboard caricatures created by white folks like Simon etal..
I guess some measure of employment created for a select few black actors and writers is tolerable..But after years of this tired shit I am having a problem with Black actors taking on these roles..Blackface in Black is just as offensive as the original mistrelsy

Wow !! Confirmation of what I've always suspected about Mr. Mooney.
And looking back at this roast, I can only think, "Oh, how politically incorrect."

Back when many Blacks felt that "Black Is Beautiful" - they seemed more able to laugh at themselves without getting their feelings hurt.
Today, everyone is so PC that the least racial remarks are cause for protests from the two old men with perms.

^ I don't know if he's gay. He's certainly "womanish." I interviewed Mooney for a Washington Post profile in the early '90s... in a downtown hotel lobby... and to drink her ordered... a mimosa.

well, that bit of info doesn't exactly do anything to dispel the "miss thing" moniker now does it?
then again, he's wasn't the only "womanish" man to have a thing for me...i don't know what is, but i wish i could switch it off, lol

Funny. But whenever I watch Mooney, I think: "Is he gay?" Then I immediately dismiss the thought because he has children. (Of course, plenty of gay men have fathered children....)
- March 8, 2010 at 6:47 AM
Hey Dave,
I thought I was the only one WHO remembered Frank's Place. Not on very long, so DVD reissue is very unlikely. I watched that show religiously when it was on. Speaking of PC: remember the one where he was asked to be the first 'colored' person to join the Creole (mixed race) club? He turned down the offer for personal and philosophical reasons.

DAMN! That was so raw. My thoughts on Mooney have been cleared up. And as far as Thrasher and TREME being a blah, blah pathos theory-- it's a reflection of the truth as in THE WIRE... THE WIRE was a reflection of people of color from the bottom to the top. Can't wait for show.

Who cares if Paul Mooney is gay? His autobiography seems to dispel the notion as it suggests he is and has been married for quite some time. I know that is not the defining measure, but who cares?
Other than that, Rich did a great job getting everyone back for the shit they said about him in the roast.

The first 2,000 days of a child's life can determine what the rest of that life will be. That is a chilling realization and one which the Children and Family Resource Center is doing something about.
The first 2,000 days of a child's life can determine what the rest of that life will be. That is a chilling realization and one which the Children and Family Resource Center is doing something about.
Their mission is to work toward providing a nurturing, safe and healthy environment for children from birth to age 5. They are the voice for children's issues in Henderson County, where a quarter of children live in poverty.
The 14th annual Harvest Dinner with the Stars event at Kenmure Country Club was a benefit to raise money to further the programs of the center. This event provides almost one-third of the operating expenses for the year.
The Board of Directors of the Children and Family Resource Center hopes to raise over $100,000 through the dinner, a live auction and a silent auction. More than 225 people attended the event to show their support, and by the end of the night, the center had raised $119,737.
The Children and Family Resource Center has a wide range of programs to help young children and their families. Among the many programs available are an adolescent parenting program, a program to teach parents how to prepare their children for school, a scholarship program for single moms, a program to ensure trained and capable childcare, and programs for children with behavioral or developmental problems.
The center is located at 85 Case St. in Hendersonville, but most of its work is done in the homes of children. The center also networks with the many other social agencies in Hendersonville whose mission is to assist children and their families.
The fundraiser included a silent auction with 56 items including a romantic night out, spa treatments, handmade gifts, paintings, tennis or dance lessons and gift certificates.
The live auction included a trip to Graceland, a high-mountain getaway, a week at Wild Dunes, a personal chef to prepare a gourmet meal, fine jewelry and a week in France.
The "stars" of the evening were children from local schools who provided a variety of live entertainment. Shanita Jackson, a 16-year-old performance poet, performed two of her compositions.
Helene Johnston performed a clogging routine. Thomas Fleming, Anne Gerhardt and Alex Salvaggio, cellists, performed pieces by Bach and Beethoven.
Jayna Gerber and Casey Brown performed a duet called "For Good." Molly Penny sang "Journey to the Past." And the combined voices of children from the Mills River and Hillandale elementary school drama club performed "A Children's Prayer." David Bates was the accompanist.
The Children and Family Resource Center's mission is to be an advocate to improve the way our community thinks and acts on behalf of children. The evening was focused on children – how we can nurture them, encourage them, prepare them for success and enjoy their wonderful talents.
Elisha Freeman, executive director of the Children and Family Resource Center, said, "Our mission is the be the voice of children, to find the most pressing needs of children and to address those needs."

Tough state rules on outages too late for Sandy
New state regulations could mean millions of dollars in fines for utilities that botch their response to devastating storms like Hurricane Sandy. But, in a case of awkward timing, the rules come a handful of days too late to apply to this week's storm cleanup.
New performance standards released late Thursday afternoon by the state Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, which were months in the making, "do not apply retroactively," agency spokesman Dennis Schain said.
They do, however, place further pressure on Connecticut Light & Power and United Illuminating, already under intense scrutiny for a widely panned response to August 2011's Tropical Storm Irene and the freak nor'easter that hit Oct. 29 of last year.
Those storms proved public relations disasters. This spring, lawmakers passed a bill to fine utilities up to 2.5 percent of yearly revenues for future debacles that leave customers in the dark for over 48 hours. Those monies would be rebated back to customers.
Until now, that could only be done by PURA indirectly when the companies sought rate hikes.
So, if the new rules were in effect, CL&P, with earnings of $873 million, would stand to lose up to $21.8 million if regulators found the company fell short of standards. United Illuminating would have to fork over $6.8 million of its $275 million in profits. And none of it could be reclaimed by billing customers.
PURA was charged with hammering out the details by Nov. 1 of this year for utilities to wrap into their emergency plans.
"Overall I think it's a very good beginning, but it also just seems to me there's question marks in this," said Joseph McGee, of Fairfield, tapped by the governor to run an investigation into last year's storm response.
One of the major weaknesses of the utilities' disaster preparation plans revealed by Irene and the nor'easter was that CL&P's definition of an "extreme event" was outages affecting only 100,000 customers. The nor'easter left over 809,000 of the company's customers in the dark.
The new standards require detailed plans for outages affecting 10 percent, 30 percent, 50 percent and 70 percent of customers, plus guidelines for prioritizing the restoration work.
The standards appear to provide utilities some wiggle room when it comes to how quickly they must restore power, calling for "all reasonable efforts."
"It's not clear to me exactly what the penalty structure is," McGee said after an initial review of the standards Thursday evening.
PURA also will now require the utilities to improve their communications with state and local officials and to offer more disaster drills.
Electric utilities were also faulted last year for not acting quickly enough to hire out-of-state crews to bolster in-house linemen.
Although the standards require the utilities to spell out how many outside resources are needed for different crises, PURA stopped short of demanding the companies pay to have contractors on call to ensure manpower is not snapped up by other states during regional emergencies.
CL&P told PURA that such a provision would be a "first-of-a-kind concept" and possible major expense, so PURA instead required CL&P to experiment with a pilot program this winter.
Efforts to step up tree trimming to avoid outages are being handled as a separate matter between PURA and the utilities.
PURA continues to study whether to reimburse residents whose food and medicine is spoiled during lengthy outages. That report is due lawmakers in February.
Attorney General George Jepsen, a vocal critic of CL&P's performance last year, declined initial comment Thursday on the new standards. But he noted that even without the regulations in place, PURA this summer announced it may penalize utilities the next time executives seek a rate increase.
"And we certainly have the authority to evaluate their performance in Sandy and, if we find it wanting, to hold them accountable," Jepsen said.

11.8 Additional Guidelines and Policies
Men Serving in Primary
When considering members who might serve in the Primary, the bishopric and the Primary presidency should remember the positive influence of worthy men in the ward. Children, especially those who do not have worthy priesthood holders in their homes, need to see examples of righteous, caring priesthood holders. Men may serve as teachers, music leaders, pianists, activity days leaders, and Scout leaders. They may also assist in the nursery. See also 11.8.8.
Baptismal Services for Eight-Year-Old Children of Record
See 20.3.4.
Testimony Bearing in Primary
Parents, Primary leaders, and teachers bear simple and direct testimony when they teach, helping children learn what a testimony is and how to express a testimony.
Testimony meetings are discouraged in Primary. However, parents, Primary leaders, and teachers may provide other opportunities for testimony bearing. For example, children may share their testimonies when they give lessons in family home evening and when they give talks in sharing time. Such opportunities help children prepare to share their testimonies in fast and testimony meeting when they are old enough to do so without assistance from a parent, sibling, or other person.
Encouraging Reverence
Reverence is an expression of love and respect for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Primary leaders and teachers help children understand what reverence is and how to act reverently. They encourage reverence by personal example. They also encourage reverence by coming to church prepared to teach from the scriptures and to use visuals and learning activities that invite the influence of the Holy Ghost.
Portrayals of Deity in Role-Playing Activities
Leaders and teachers carefully maintain reverence when they choose to conduct role-playing activities, especially when people dramatize sacred events. God the Father and the Holy Ghost are not to be portrayed in any way. The Savior should not be portrayed by children except in a nativity scene. For additional guidelines, see 13.6.15.
Children Who Have Special Needs
When a child has a prolonged illness, a disability, or other special needs, Primary leaders consult with priesthood leaders and the child's parents to determine ways to help.
Children who have disabilities are normally included in their regular Primary classes. As needed, and where possible, a special teacher may be called to attend class with them or to teach them separately. If an illness or disability requires that a child stay at home, Primary teachers may help members of the child's family teach Primary lessons to him or her. The child is enrolled in Primary with his or her age-group, and the teacher marks the child present when a lesson is given.
Children with disabilities or other special needs normally advance from Primary when they reach age 12.
For information about understanding, including, and teaching children who have disabilities, see 21.1.26 and disabilities.lds.org.
Activities for all aspects of Primary—including nursery, activity days, and Scouting—are funded from the ward budget. Supplies that are purchased for Primary activities, classes, or meetings belong to the ward. They are not for the personal use of Primary workers or their family members.
If the ward budget does not have sufficient funds to pay for an annual day camp or similar activity for children ages 8 through 11, leaders may ask participants to pay for part or all of it. In no case should the expenses or travel for an annual day camp or similar activity be excessive. Nor should the lack of personal funds prohibit a member from participating.
Church funds may not be used to purchase uniforms for individuals.
For more information about funding for activities, see 13.2.8.
Two Responsible Adults
When adults are teaching children or youth in Church settings, at least two responsible adults should be present at all times. The two adults could be two men, two women, or a married couple. Where it may not be practical to have at least two adults in a classroom, leaders should consider combining classes.

Stonington superintendent offers teacher, sports cuts in effort to trim budget
Stonington - More than 125 people packed the high school commons Thursday night to criticize the Board of Finance for cutting the proposed $1 million school budget increase for 2014-15 by $663,000.
Superintendent of Schools Van Riley presented a plan to cut $525,000 from the budget after factoring in a $138,000 savings due to new insurance cost projections that showed that item would be less than expected.
Riley recommended eliminating $268,000 for 5.2 teaching positions in various subjects, and $61,000 for sports and extracurricular activities including all freshman sports and middle school basketball as well as some funding for crew, lacrosse, sailing and cheerleading. He also recommended $38,000 in other staff cuts and a $40,000 reduction in materials. Finally, Riley would eliminate $120,000 budgeted for additional staff to conduct teacher evaluations mandated by the state.
"I don't like any of these, but I have to cut something," he told the crowd. The board agreed with his recommendations.
These cuts are in addition to the ones the school board made before presenting its budget proposal to the finance board. These included eliminating eight teaching positions through attrition as well as positions for five paraprofessionals and one computer technician.
Riley warned that if the finance board continues to hold the school budget increase to 1 percent annually over the next four years, that would mean $7.6 million less for eduction. This would translate to a cut of 100 teachers and class sizes of 50 students.
Board of Education Chairman Frank Todisco opened the meeting saying it was a sad day for the teachers, administrators and community, especially the students.
He pointed out that while Stonington is the 45th wealthiest community out of the state's 169 municipalities, it has the 155th lowest tax rate and 114th in per-pupil spending.
"Our children deserve better. Stonington can do better," he said.
Todisco said the school board's original budget cut by the finance board was "fiscally responsible" as it called for no new programs and eliminated positions.
Riley said that the school board had already reduced his budget proposal by $1 million before presenting it to the finance board. That $1 million was needed to just provide the current level of service, he said.
The $34 million school budget, which represents a $337,000 increase over the current budget, will go to an April 10 public hearing at which a large group of residents is expected to ask the finance board to restore the $525,000 and let the community vote on the budget with no school cuts.
"You're allowing six members of the Board of Finance to hold your children and their future hostage," said veteran high school teacher Michael Freeman, who urged parents to go to the finance board members and demand they do what is right for their children.
Finance board members have said the cuts are needed to get the budget down to a level that voters will approve, in this case one with a 0.49-mill tax increase, the largest hike in six years.
The finance board has also cut slightly more than $1 million in school-related capital improvements, many of which are security upgrades in the wake of the Newtown shootings.
If these are being cut, Riley suggested cutting $421,000 in capital items from the town budget and using that money for education. All the eliminated capital items could then be placed in a separate bond issue for voters to approve.
He said another option is to transfer $2.9 million from other parts of the town budget to education to reflect the percentage of the budget spent on education in other towns.
Some speakers also raised the possibility of seeking a charter change to ensure finance board seats are contested in future elections. Members are now chosen by the Democratic and Republican town committees and run unopposed. Efforts to change the charter have been unsuccessful in the past.

MANHATTAN — Who's on first? And where will first even be come springtime?
With opening day fast approaching, a little league team that serves youth on the west side of Manhattan from 59th Street all the way down to Canal Street is scouring the city for available baseball diamonds as the closure of two Downtown sports facilities puts field space at a premium.
The 120 players age 10 to 12 on Greenwich Village Little League teams still need someplace to play before the spring season starts April 6, as their usual fields at J.J. Walker Park in the West Village are still closed for renovations and the Battery Park City fields remain ruined from Hurricane Sandy damage.
Without the use of their go-to space at J.J. Walker Park on Hudson Street near Clarkson Street, GVLL's co-ed competitive Majors division will have less practice time and will be forced to play on fields scattered across the city, league coordinator Carin Ehrenberg said Friday.
"There's going to be less baseball this spring," she said, noting that her younger son, a 12-year-old pitcher and shortstop, was disappointed he would have to leave his neighborhood to play this year.
GVLL is losing a total of about 28 hours of practice and play time every week, the group's president, John Economou, said.
The league, whose Majors division usually practices seven hours a week, has applied for some field time at the huge sports complex at Pier 40 in the West Village and is still trying to secure space at sites including Randall's Island Park.
Having to commute to games will take away the community feeling of local little league, said Ehrenberg, a clinical psychologist.
"Parents enjoy raising their kids in the city and still being able to provide them with an all-American little league experience," she said.
The Hudson River Park Trust, which manages Pier 40, is trying its best to accommodate as many sports lovers as possible, president and CEO Madelyn Wils said.
The closure of the two Downtown fields has placed more pressure on the pier, putting space at capacity for the spring and forcing the Trust to turn away about 10 applications from youth and adult sports groups.
Wils said the rush on field time underscores the importance of Pier 40 for the park-starved lower west side.
"As the neighborhood grows and more people with families move to lower Manhattan, it puts a lot more pressure on the parks," she said.
If financially troubled Pier 40 were to close its sports fields while repairing its rotting pilings and crumbling roof, thousands of youth and adult athletes would be displaced, Economou pointed out.
"[The closure of Pier 40] would have a severe impact on GVLL and all other programs who rely on these fields," he said. "GVLL would have to completely restructure its baseball program. We [might] even be put in a position where we would have to reduce our program."
More than 1,000 children who were expecting to play little league on the Battery Park City fields are also still in limbo for the spring season, as DNAinfo.com New York reported in January.
Downtown Little League board member Andrew Zelter said Friday he's confident the needed repairs can be made in time.
"We expect to be fully operational at Battery Park City for our 2013 season," Zelter said, adding that the league has booked space at 12 fields across the city, including Pier 40, as backup.
Extensive Hurricane Sandy damage covered the BPC fields with 3 feet of floodwaters and sewer backflow, leaving the turf destroyed.
The Battery Park City Authority is aiming to have the fields open in time for baseball season, but the exact timeline of the work is unclear until the turf-replacement work begins soon, a spokesman said.
Renovations to J.J. Walker Park — scheduled to be complete in June — will replace the synthetic turf, improve striping for baseball and soccer games, repaint bleachers and raise fences to keep fly balls inside the park, according to the Parks Department.
Rich Caccappolo, chairman of Community Board 2's parks committee and a former GVLL president, urged the Parks Department to keep the work on schedule for the sake of little league players.
"Every kid has a couple years of great baseball, and the most serious years are when they're 11 and 12," he said. "Losing a year of that is a shame because you don't get it back."

Airbus training centre opens at Broughton
A centre to train Airbus employees in new wing-building technology has opened in Flintshire.
The assembly government has invested more than £28m in the site where trainees will learn about using new lightweight materials.
Thousands of apprentices and employees will attend courses at the centre at Hawarden Industrial Park in Broughton.
The skills learned there will be applied to the manufacture of wings for the new Airbus A350 XWB.
The Advanced Composite Training and Development Centre was opened by First Minister Carwyn Jones.
He said: "Today we are bringing together government, academia and industry under one roof for a single purpose: To keep Wales at the forefront of innovation and manufacturing."
The composite materials made up of fibres and resins are far lighter and more resistant than the aluminium alloys they will replace.
Trainees from across the UK will learn the design, manufacture and assembly of the lightweight materials.
Glyndŵr University in Wrexham will provide higher education courses focusing on research, while Deeside College will provide further education courses.
Airbus executive vice-president Thierry Baril said: "The apprentices and employees who walk through the centre's door will turn around and leave ready to work on the next generation of aircraft.
"They will be at the forefront of a technology that creates aircraft that are lighter, and therefore more efficient.
"They will be a key link in the global chain that comes together to create world-class aircraft, and they will be the foundation that anchors a strong manufacturing community in Wales, and the UK."

When asked if "baby seal" was a merely a euphemism for more shitty and 1-AA teams," Delany shook his head.
"No. I mean I want them to put a live baby seal on their schedule, have it come to their home stadium and then club the living fuck out of it," said Delany. "I want the sure 'W' so we can return this proud conference back to where it belongs."
Big 10 coaches seemed unanimous in their support of Delany's decision.
"I think it's a good idea," said Golden
Before he could elaborate further, Brewster was whisked away by trained medical personnel after school officials read about the coach seeing "progress" and good things ahead for his football team following the NIU loss.
Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez was also in favor of scheduling the baby seals. "Your star player has just as much of a chance of getting hurt against a 1-AA school as a real school," said Rodriguez who was still cleaning the urine stain off his pant leg following the luckily-not-serious injury to Wolverine QB Denard Robinson. "But against the baby seal, nobody should get hurt and a lot of guys will get a chance to play. Something that doesn't always happen when you schedule a tough non-conference game against a football powerhouse, like say UMass."
Asked if such a schedule meant fans would get a financial break, Ohio State AD Gene Smith laughed. "Good one," he said. "No, no. We're still going to charge them the same ticket price, seat licensing fee, parking and exorbitant food prices we charge for, say, the Michigan game
Reached for comment, SEC commissioner Mike Slive said his conference had no intention of following the Big 10's lead in the scheduling of baby seals. Slive insisted the SEC would not stoop to such levels and would instead continue to schedule home-only games against roadkill and corpses as has been league policy for years.

Man, things don't look and feel all that great right now, do they? The credit crisis has American and foreign businesses shaking in their boots, and the free-falling stock market and housing sector have many of us worrying about our own personal financial futures. Throw a presidential election into the mix, and you've got a recipe for a major case of heartburn. All of these factors couldn't have come at a worse time for the renewed "green movement" that has taken hold across the country. However, state and local governments are working hard to try and keep many energy-efficient programs moving forward.
According to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, signed into law by President Bush on Oct. 3, 2008, includes the following extensions of many renewable energy tax incentives:
The Commercial Building Tax Deduction has been extended for an additional five years, through Dec. 31, 2013. Originally established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the deduction program applies to a building's HVAC, water-heating, and lighting system, as well as the building envelope. The lighting system deduction provides an accelerated depreciation benefit equal to the cost of the lighting system improvement or $0.60 per square foot — whichever is less.
A new tax credit for plug-in hybrid vehicles and an extension of fuel cell and microturbine credits through 2016.
On the residential front, an extension of the tax credit for efficient furnaces, boilers, air conditioners, and water heaters, as well as insulation and window upgrades for existing homes.
Extension of an existing bonding program for green buildings and sustainable design, and establishment of a new energy conservation bond program that would help local and state governments fund energy conservation efforts.
The legislation also extends the production tax credit for wind energy by one year, and offers an eight-year extension of tax credits for businesses and homeowners installing solar energy equipment. Starting Jan. 1, 2009, homeowners can qualify for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of a photovoltaic system's initial cost, and business owners will no longer be hit with an alternative minimum tax by claiming the credit. And last I checked, utility company rebates and state tax credits for renewable systems were holding strong.
I'm excited to see existing tax credits extended and new ones implemented in the renewable energy sector, but the bigger issue right now is what effect will the weakening economy have on the overall construction market — and how will this ultimately affect the recent growth we've seen in the sustainability/renewable energy markets? As financial pressures continue to mount, will owners continue to think green, or will the threat of red on their financial spreadsheets force them to return to their old ways of thinking? Let's hope the answer to this question doesn't derail the technological advancements on the product front we've seen in recent years.

(No difference)
Revision as of 22:17, 24 June 2007
To determine whether you have it setup correctly or not run "dmesg | grep saa" and if you see this you need to do the following steps:
[ 39.847928] saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.14 loaded [ 39.848432] saa7133[0]: found at 0000:01:05.0, rev: 209, irq: 21, latency: 32, mmio: 0xe8002000 [ 39.848437] saa7133[0]: subsystem: 1461:2c00, board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC [card=0,autodetected] [/code]
If you see this then why are you looking at this guide!
[ 555.864000] saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.14 loaded [ 555.864000] saa7133[0]: found at 0000:01:05.0, rev: 209, irq: 21, latency: 32, mmio: 0xe8002000 [ 555.864000] saa7133[0]: subsystem: 1461:2c00, board: AVerMedia TV Hybrid A16AR [card=99,insmod option][/code]
Getting it to work
The avermedia drivers are built into the recent kernels (Since version 2.6.11 I think). For this step you need the right kernel options i believe. Ubuntu has them by default however if anyone wants to drop by and bless this wiki with some guidance please help!
To make sure you have a A16AR type in "lspci -v" and you should see:
01:05.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1) Subsystem: Avermedia Technologies Inc Unknown device 2c00 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 21 Memory at e8002000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] Capabilities: <access denied>[/code]
Then type
sudo rmmod saa7134_alsa saa7134-dvb saa7134
If you can't close them (which will likely happen because saa1734 will be used by any mixers and artsd)
fuser -v /dev/snd/* /dev/dsp/*
and then
killall -9 <process names>.
Now you need to load the correct modules
sudo modprobe saa7134 card=99 sudo modprobe saa7134_alsa sudo modprobe saa7134-dvb
For all those who do not know what sudo is it is used to elevate ones self to root user :P used with Ubuntu.
now load your favorite TV application and watch TV!
I am yet to test this after a reboot but good luck!
Also for anyone who is concerned about the similarities between this guide and the one on the Ubuntu forums they are both by me ;)

Chinese Knockoff Maker With A Sense Of Humor Files Design Patent On Leaked iPhone 5 Design
from the joke's-on-you dept
That said, the details of this "Chinese patent" are a bit sketchy. Was it just applied for? Or granted? No one seems to be saying. It could just be a joke. That said, we've been noting for quite some time that while the US has been pushing China to respect patents a lot more (due to lobbying pressure from US companies), China has been mocking them all by suddenly "enforcing" patents much more stringently... but almost always against foreign companies and to benefit Chinese competitors. So, it's not completely crazy to suggest that a Chinese company might be able to secure such a patent and use it to stop Apple, though it would take a fair amount of chutzpah (or whatever the Chinese equivalent is) to make such a claim.

One caveat: you might decide at some point not to go to law school. Therefore, you should consider a major in a field that can get you a job out of undergrad. A hard science, engineering, business, or something like that are the safest undergrad majors for the rest of your life.
If you like it, try philosophy. Beware, though, that if you change your mind about law school, you'll basically be broke and unemployed. If you're sure about the law school route, though, a strong background in analytic philosophy is great preparation.
Make sure you have as high a GPA as possible.
Pre-law is a complete joke major, and I don't even know if I would accept someone with a pre-law degree if I was in law school admissions. That's a ridiculous thing to say. I'm glad you're not on an admissions committee. You can't judge an applicant soley on their major. I'd venture to guess that the average person only retains a small percentage of the knowledge they gained anyway. What about the pre-law applicant who reads books all the time and the political science applicant who instead watches reality shows all the time? To suggest that pre-law people cannot be as good is simply wrong.

Eta Kappa Nu
Eta Kappa Nu (ΗΚΝ) was founded as a national electrical and computer engineering honor society in the United States in October 1904 by Maurice L. Carr at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. As of 2009, the organization currently has more than 200 student chapters and about 250,000 members and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.
On 14 February 2009, HKN signed a merger agreement with IEEE, the world's largest technical professional society. The merger, which went into legal effect on 1 September 2010, made HKN the official honor society of IEEE, recognizing scholarship and academic excellence and identifying student leaders, young professionals and eminent scholars in the IEEE's technical fields of interest. Under the terms of the merger, HKN became an organizational unit of IEEE, governed by a new IEEE‐HKN Board of Governors.
On September 23, 1904, two students at the University of Illinois met on the steps of the campus engineering building to consider the formation of an electrical engineering society. One of them, Maurice L. Carr, later recalled that their one enthusiastic agreement had been that such a society was needed; their views on exactly what the organization would achieve varied widely. Five weeks later the founding group was complete. Besides Carr, it consisted of Charles E. Armstrong, Ralph E. Bowser, Carl K. Brydges, William T. Burnett, Hibbard S. Greene, Frank W. Winders, Edmund B. Wheeler, Milton K. Akers, and Fred D. Smith.
The original purpose of the society was to help electrical engineering graduates find employment and in other ways gain a foothold in their careers. Scholarship was not the only membership requirement. As Carr put it: "We did not propose to ignore scholastic standing . . . but we did not propose to debar a good man because he was not a good student in all subjects . . ." [Carr would undoubtedly include women were he making his statement today!]
The association finally settled on its name, Eta Kappa Nu, and qualifications for membership that exist to this day: The student must be in the upper quarter of his/her junior electrical/computer engineering class or the upper third of the senior class, requirements that are sometimes tightened. Other qualifications relate to ingenuity, imagination, practical innovation, and problem-solving ability. Characteristics that are also weighed include character and service to others. As for the purpose of the organization, what emerged over the years was an amalgam of many suggestions. The association has proved an incentive to excel by recognizing the achievements of both students and working engineers. It has established rapport among faculty members, students, and alumni, and has encouraged engineers to become well-rounded.
The association's goals have changed throughout the years to accommodate the times, as three long-time active members of Eta Kappa Nu agreed when they met in 1979, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Eta Kappa Nu. The three were Larry Dwon, the official historian, Berthold Sheffield, national publicity chairman of the association, and Roger I. Wilkinson, founder of the Outstanding Young Electrical Engineer Award. During the Depression of the 1930s Eta Kappa Nu's goal, especially in the alumni chapters, was to help its members find work, the three recalled, adding that the period was one they remembered with much warmth.
To function as more than just an honor society, Eta Kappa Nu members have served not only the electrical engineering profession, but society as a whole. Beginning with the college chapters, members were encouraged to carry out a variety of productive activities. Included are the tutoring of fellow students, the encouragement of K¬12 math and science programs, and the organization of science fairs and exhibits for attendance by the general public. The alumni chapters have had a dual obligation: to help fellow members in their professional lives and to guide college chapters.
Eta Kappa Nu's major publication, The Bridge, began as a small four-page leaflet in 1906. It was then called the Electrical Field, and published twice a year. It was followed in 1910 by The Year Book, a 44-page booklet issued annually. In 1914, The Bridge became the official name of the yearbook, with 160 pages, and in 1919 The Bridge became a quarterly publication.
Eta Kappa Nu's initiation ceremony has stressed character development. Members must be willing to undertake hard and sometimes even disagreeable work.
On 14 February 2009, HKN signed a merger agreement with IEEE, the world's largest technical professional society. The merger, which went into legal effect on 1 September 2010, made HKN the official honor society of IEEE, recognizing scholarship and academic excellence and identifying student leaders, young professionals and eminent scholars in the IEEE's technical fields of interest. Under the agreement, HKN became an organizational unit of IEEE, governed by a new IEEE‐HKN Board of Governors. A restricted endowment was created in the IEEE Foundation to support HKN's educational, societal, and recognition activities. In addition to holding HKN's current assets, the new endowment will receive an initial donation of US$1.2M from IEEE. The agreement was signed by Dr. Bruce Eisenstein, President of HKN; Dr. Richard Gowen, President of the IEEE Foundation; and Dr. John Vig, IEEE President and CEO, during the IEEE meeting series in Puerto Rico, at a ceremony attended by more than 200 members of IEEE and ETA Kappa Nu. The pending merger was approved by HKN chapters and the HKN Board of Governors; the IEEE Assembly (representing the members of IEEE) and IEEE Board of Directors; and the Board of Directors of the IEEE Foundation.
The IEEE and HKN merger will extends a relationship between the two organizations that spans nearly a century of cooperation. IEEE and HKN already held joint award and recognition ceremonies, and a large number of service activities are organized jointly by IEEE student branches and HKN chapters. These activities are expected to be enhanced by the merger, and they include tutoring to students, outreach to high schools, and sponsorship of technical competitions and scientific presentations.
The awards that Eta Kappa Nu presents annually cut a wide swath in the field of electrical engineering. They include the following:
- The Outstanding Young Electrical Engineers Award (established in 1936). The requirements of this recognition represent the qualities the organization encourages in all its members. Nominees are evaluated for technical achievements, service to the profession, and cultural achievements. Nominees for this award must be no more than 35 years old. When Eta Kappa Nu historian Larry Dwon analyzed more than 900 nominees' dossiers that had been submitted since the award was originated, he observed in the candidates a great capacity for and a genuine willingness to work hard, a strong desire to educate themselves over a wide spectrum of interests, an ability to set and pursue goals early in their careers, an ability to maximize their innate abilities, a facility for gaining cooperation from others, and a selflessness reflected in the contributions to society. It is no surprise that among the winners of this award, several went on to be recognized for their subsequent contributions through even more prestigious awards, such as major awards of the IEEE or the U.S. government, or election to Eta Kappa Nu's highest grade, Eminent Member.
- Vladimir Karapetoff Award. This major award is presented annually to an electrical or computer engineering practitioner for an invention, discovery, or development that has demonstrated a significant and long-term positive impact on the welfare of society.
- The Zerby-Koerner Outstanding Electrical Engineering Student Award. Established in 1965, this award is given annually to one or more electrical/computer engineering students who typify the best balance of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.
- The C. Holmes MacDonald Outstanding Teacher Award. This was established in 1972 and is awarded annually to a teacher of electrical or computer engineering to recognize the central role of college professors in educating, motivating, and serving as a role model for future engineers. Recipients must be no more than 35 years of age.
- Distinguished Service Award. Initiated in 1971, this award is given to a member of Eta Kappa Nu who has rendered outstanding service to the association over an extended period of time.
- Eminent Membership. This is bestowed by Eta Kappa Nu upon those individuals who, by their technical attainment and contributions to society, have shown themselves to be outstanding leaders in the field of electrical engineering and great benefactors to society.
Eminent Membership
The category of Eminent Member was proposed by three members of the Eta Kappa Nu National Executive Council, Morris Buck, B. F. Lewis, and Alton B. Zerby. It was approved in 1941 by means of an article in the Eta Kappa Nu constitution. The article stated in part: "Eminent membership may be offered only to those individuals who by their attainments and contributions to society have shown themselves to be outstanding leaders in the field of electrical engineering and great benefactors to their fellow men." Today "electrical engineering" is construed to encompass electrical and computer engineering.
It was not until 1950 that the first Eminent Members were inducted. Other priorities during World War II and the years immediately following were thought to be at the root of the delay. Also, in the interim the criteria for selection and the process by which candidates were to be nominated and approved needed to be determined, and a ceremony befitting the honor had to be designed.
The first three Eminent Members were inducted by Eta Kappa Nu president Robin Beach. They were Vannevar Bush, Royal W. Sorensen, and Vladimir K. Zworykin. Assisting in the ceremony were Zerby, F. E. Sanford, E. B. Kurtz, T. W. Williams, and Eric T. B. Gross. The inductees were escorted by C. F. Dalziel, Everett M. Strong, and Eric T. B. Gross. An account of the event appeared in the March, 1950 issue of The Bridge.
Candidates for election to Eminent Member were brought to the Board of Governors by the Eminent Member Committee. Eminent Member candidates are judged for their leadership and accomplishments in one or more of several areas: innovation and invention, education, professional society activities, government service, and the corporate world. Each Eminent Member-Elect is inducted at a ceremony conducted by the president of Eta Kappa Nu or his designee.

Letter writer Alan Walden is right ("A stranger in his own land," Nov. 9). He is a stranger in his own land. Mr. Walden is having difficulty adjusting to a world where us white guys no longer rule. He and his Republican Party continue to try and put a round peg is a square hole. The country has changed before his very eyes, and there is no going back. Apparently, he has trouble accepting that.
Mr. Walden wonders where the unity went. I wonder if that unity ever existed. The "Balkanized groups" that Mr. Walden refers to have been suppressed and discriminated against for many years. Now, they are feeling their oats, and they don't subscribe to the beliefs of the Republicans. Can the Republicans adjust to the changes in the electorate?
The challenge for Mr. Walden and his party will be to figure out a way to accept the new political landscape. Here's hoping that Mr. Walden will learn to adapt so that he can get a good night's sleep.

5 Things to Consider Before You Post on Facebook or Twitter
How many times have you read a facebook post and wondered: "Why the heck would someone post that?" Yeah, me too.
I always kind of wonder about my own posts on social media. Are they relevant, stupid, offensive, funny, etc. Then I found this cool article from Relevant Magazine on "Questions to Ask Before Posting To Social Media".
What do you think? Are you guilty of making some of these posting mistakes?
1. Am I Seeking Approval?
If you've taken an introductory psychology class, you've probably heard of B.F. Skinner and operant conditioning. Skinner suggested that we learn behaviors through reinforcement.When I seek validation through something I post and that little red flag starts popping up to notify me of each person giving me attention, it's an addictive reward. And it works.
What are the bigger needs asking to be met here? Maybe it's a desire for community. Perhaps it stems from unresolved conflict with someone I love. Or maybe I just thrive on pleasing people and hearing their praise. If your interaction with the internet is driven by a need for approval, consider healthier ways to address this issue and choose to stop reinforcing the unhealthy ones.
2. Am I Boasting?
There's sharing excitement and then there's bragging. Truthfully, we each know which camp we fall in. Examine your motivations and walk away before using social media as the adult version of show-and-tell.
3. Am I Discontent?
Are you looking for something "better"? If so, walk away. Nothing you will read, write or see is going to solve this one. Instead, ask yourself why you are discontent and address those needs. When we view social media from a lens of discontentment, whatever we find will be colored with bitterness and ungratefulness.
4. Is This a Moment to Protect?
When my son crawls into my lap, he doesn't want me to take his picture and shoot it across Facebook. He doesn't care who else thinks I have a cute kid. He just wants me to hold him and see him. When we interrupt lunch with a friend in order to quote her on Twitter, we invite hundreds of people into a conversation that could have been sacred; and we miss the sweet memories that may have formed had her words remained simply between the two of us.
5. Is It Kind?
Let's return to Paul and his call to love. "Love is patient. Love is kind." Our culture tells us it's our right to comment on everything, regardless of whether it was addressed to us and without consideration for how it might affect others. We've replaced face-to-face confrontation with sharp comments and mocking memes. We write demeaning tweets addressed to celebrities or openly criticize individuals we have never met, hiding behind the convenience that they cannot directly defend themselves and nobody is putting our personal lives on display for public criticism.
Let us pause and give ourselves an honest moment to reflect—bringing discernment, love and wisdom to each picture and word we share.

CORVALLIS - Autumn leaves are the grand finale of the growing season. What creates all that color?
It's all about photosynthesis, according to Pat Breen, Oregon State University professor of horticulture.
The word photosynthesis means "to transform with light." That is just what happens inside leaf cells as chlorophyll uses the sun's light to transform water and carbon dioxide into food for the growing plant.
Throughout the summer, green plants produce a continual supply of chlorophyll to keep the transformation going. But when days get shorter and nights get cooler, plants slow their production of chlorophyll.
As the amount of chlorophyll declines, the green color of plant leaves starts to fade and other pigments begin to shine through.
Carotenoids, for example, are found in most green plants, and are necessary for capturing sunlight. When chlorophyll fades, the carotenoids that are left create yellow and sometimes brilliant gold color. We see carotinoids at work in big-leaf maples this time of year.
A second pigment, anthocyanin, is produced in the leaves of only a few kinds of trees. It creates shades ranging from pink to red to purple, as in our native vine maples.
When the colorful pigments finally fade, leaves turn brown from the remaining tannin. Tannins are found in almost all trees, and are especially abundant in Oregon white oak, which keeps its autumn color to a conservative brown.
Weather plays a part in the show of autumn leaves. The most vivid color tends to unfold when autumn days are sunny and nights are cool but above freezing. The red-color anthocyanins are produced in strong light when sugars are trapped in the leaf as stems begin to shut off in preparation to drop. If the weather holds, enough sugars are produced to create brilliant red and orange color in the leaf. Rainy weather blocks warmth and sunshine, and so inhibits sugar production. Leaves fade without much color change. Likewise, early frost can kill leaves, turning them brown.
You can orchestrate your own grand finale by planting trees that promise autumn color. Many kinds of native trees and shrubs are already brightening the woods this time of year. A trip to the local nursery will reveal an even larger selection. Consider Norway maple or tulip tree for yellow and gold color; sugar maple and sweet gum for bright orange and red; and scarlet oak for deep red.
All these should do well throughout most of Oregon.
