text: Hedge Your Corn Crop against Drought December 17, 2012 10:23 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Rhonda Brooks Editor, Farm Journal MagazineEditorial Director, Farm Journal Media Email Conventional wisdom says lowering your corn plant populations will help boost yields if dry weather conditions prevail in 2013. That may or may not be a good strategy, depending on your soil type, management practices and hybrids selected. Here's what the experts say to consider before you head to the field next spring. Higher plant populations are a trend farmers have followed in recent years to boost corn yields. Last season, though, that practice appeared to backfire in some drought-hit areas. There, producers with lower plant populations often harvested better yields because fewer plants meant less competition for available moisture. The obvious question now: should farmers in dry areas lower their plant populations in 2013? "Plant populations need to stay about where they are," says Steve Gauck, team sales agronomist in southern Indiana and central Kentucky for Becks Hybrids. "If you want to make some minor changes that's fine, but don't make a huge adjustment just because Mother Nature threw us a curve ball last season," he adds. Darren Hefty agrees. "If it's shaping up to be a dry season, you might back off populations a tick, say 500 plants, but be cautious—you don't want to go overboard," says Hefty who co-owns Hefty Seed Company, Baltic, S.D., with his brother, Brian. The most important considerations in any year are to have a good understanding of the hybrids you selected, the type of ground they can perform in best and what agronomic practices will coax the most yield out of each one, adds Ken Ferrie, Farm Journal field agronomist, based in Heyworth, Ill. "It's important to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each hybrid and then manage for both," he notes. Mike Kavanaugh, AgriGold agronomy manager, notes that corn growers have different soil types, row configurations, fertility programs and overall yield environments, and that this criteria should be matched to the hybrids they select each year. "It is a fact that some genetics prefer higher populations and some don't and that perfect growing conditions can maximize yield, but when extreme hot, dry conditions occur, all genetics are susceptible to plant cannibalization which ultimately creates another set of issues," Kavanaugh says. "Get with your seedsman and make sure you understand the limits of your hybrids." University of Illinois agronomist Fred Below doesn't disagree with Kavanaugh but says higher corn populations can be a benefit in a dry year if farmers manage their crop intensively. The reason is that more corn plants in the field can absorb more sunlight, even if plant leaves are rolled. That sunlight translates to more yield. "In our 2012 test plots we still wound up with higher yields in dry conditions this past year—35 to 40 bushels more per acre—with the higher plant populations," Below says. "The key was intensive management of the crop." Below's definition of intense management includes banding fertilizer to get more efficient uptake, crop rotation, using high tech hybrids and using fungicides to keep leaves green longer. In 2012, the extreme heat at pollination time affected corn yields in a similar manner due to the lack of moisture, according to Kavanaugh. "In each corn growing geography, planting date coupled with hybrid maturity made a huge difference in yield outcome," he explains. In some cases, Kavanaugh recalls, "You could see a 100-bushel difference between maturities in any given latitude depending on whether the hybrid was shooting or pollinating before, during or after those 105-degree temperatures we had." Gauck saw similar scenarios in southern Indiana and Kentucky and advises: "You've got to plant a variety of maturities and spread your planting dates out so those hybrids don't all try to pollinate at once. Planting all your corn acres in a short window will put you at a pretty high risk." Gauck advises farmers in a corn-soybean rotation to plant some of their corn acres, then switch to soybeans and then come back to corn to finish up the planting process. This past fall, Hefty says he got questions from corn growers about whether to plant more flex-style hybrids on their farm to hedge against drought next season. "Flex-style hybrids are not an automatic solution to dry weather conditions," Hefty says. Peter Thomison, Ohio State University Extension agronomist agrees. "Ear type must be considered in conjunction with overall hybrid performance," Thomison says. "You want to select a hybrid for its performance not because it possesses a particular trait or characteristic like flex or fixed ear size." Editor's Note: As we prepare to put 2012 to bed, it is always a good idea to reflect on the past year. For the remaining days of 2012, the editors at AgWeb.com will bring you stories that were important this year and will continue to be top of mind in 2013.

Coffee shops have long been thought of as the perfect meeting place for bohemians, intellectuals or even the cast of "Friends." While today they are still the same gathering places where espresso machines hiss over the constant din of conversation, coffee shops everywhere are becoming office spaces where many patrons can be found hanging over their laptops.
Just enter the Chestnut Hill Coffee Company, at 8620 Germantown Ave., and you'll see them. Owner Sultan Malikyar opened the Coffee Company almost seven years ago. It is the only independent coffee shop and roaster in the neighborhood.
In the shop's early days, Malikyar remembers his customers meeting there for conversation and a cup of Joe. But that has since changed.
"Three or four years ago, I saw more and more people coming to work," he said.
Malikyar – who has noticed this in other shops as well – attributes the growing trend to the affordability of electronic devices and availability of Internet access. And all that free Wi-Fi.
According to a 2003 CNET story, NetGear CEO Patrick Lo said the explosion happened somewhere around 2001 when Wi-Fi became affordable and easier to use. And with that change also came an increasing number of people working from home.
Mark Bernstein, a Mt. Airy resident, is one of those workers. He's been a writer –doing things like penning books and working for the "Princeton Alumni Weekly" – for the past 15 years.
Working from home, he said, presents challenges like being temped to do housework or take his dog for a walk. So he's happy to be able to get away from home.
"Somebody wrote once that the coffee shop was the optimal level of distraction because it's not so quiet that you can hear a pin drop, but it's not so noisy and crazy that you can't think," he said. "I seem to be able to get more work done here."
Along with an increase in workers, some think that students are more likely than in the past to camp out at coffee shops too.
Scott Jones, a University of Pennsylvania student, said he thinks studying has become social. He said his father thinks studying at coffee shops is absurd.
"He thinks the coffee shop thing is kind of strange," he said. "For them, when people would work, they'd have an office or place of work, and at school most of the studying was done at libraries."
Jones said he does spend time at Penn's library, but being at school for that long is too much for him.
"Most of my classes are night classes, so I can't deal with being at school for 13 hours," he said. "So I'll get up, study at a coffee shop [until] noon-ish or so and then head to school."
When it comes to the problem of customers staying for too long, Jones said he hadn't much thought about it. But he does see it as something that could be problematic.
"I guess it just depends on this coffee shop," he said. "People sitting for five hours [in a coffee shop could] sink them, but a place like this, since they have a roastery upstairs, I'd imagine they make a good amount from where they sell their beans."
Bernstein, however, said that since he spends about half his workweek in coffee shops, he thinks it's only fair that he give back.
"I try to make sure I keep up my supply of buying something, so I'm not just taking up space," he said. "You could come in here and buy a $2 coffee and spend the whole day, but that isn't fair to the people who own the place."
Malikyar said he does indeed see people doing this in his shop. Of the things he's seen – people leaving their items and going to lunch, customers bringing their own food and customers snapping at others for bringing their children around.
"There's always an exception for people who take advantage of the situation," he said. "They use it as their office, they get on their phone, they're loud."
But ultimately, Malikyar said he thinks offering Wi-Fi at his coffee shop is the right answer. Among the many possibilities to help regulate the situation, he said, is adding signage to limit time spent there. But that's not really the right answer, he said.
"It's a battle that's continuing, and it's really hard to come up with a solution," Malikyar said. "Next thing you know you've got little stickers everywhere."
Drew Meschter, a Mt. Airy resident, said he comes often to Chestnut Hill Coffee Company and sees people use the space for their office all too often.
He said he feels sorry for the owner and has seen other solutions such as having customers pay for Internet usage, having the internet cut out after half an hour or not offering Wi-Fi.
Because none of those are the case at the Coffee Company, he said he – like Bernstein – also tries to buy more when he's camped out there.
"I understand it's a delicate balance," he said. "I always feel sensitive here because it's a cool place, but I have no sensitive guilt when I go to Starbucks."
But there are those who still sit in coffee shops for the social aspect of it.
Ren Monte, who does not come to coffee shops to work, said it's more of a time for him to unwind and is in and out in an hour or less.
"Usually I come in on the weekends as a time to relax in the morning before I start my day and get all wound up with Saturday and Sunday chores," he said.
But Monte also said he's made friends from frequenting the Coffee Company.
"If you see people several times, you just start talking to them," he said. "So I've actually made friends here and realized they live down the street from me."
Monte said he generally sticks to sitting downstairs, which has music playing from a stereo in a cubby. Upstairs, he said, seems more like a library than a public space.
When it comes down to it, Malikyar said – office workers or not – he's still going to focus on producing a quality product.
"The culture of coffee shops has changed, but we're not going to change our primary goal as being the best as far as product," he said. "Our primary goal and mission is to provide people with coffee. To smell, taste and appreciate what's in the cup, that's the primary part of this business."

Members of the open-source community are expressing concern over rapid feature changes in the Linux 2.6 kernel, which they say are too focused on the desktop and could make the kernel too large.
Sam Greenblatt, a senior vice president at Computer Associates International Inc., in Islandia, N.Y., said that while the kernel is evolving for the desktop, server and embedded markets, more and more technology is being included, and the kernel is "getting fatter. We are not interested in the game drivers and music drivers that are being added to the kernel. We are interested in a more stable kernel."
Andrew Morton, the current maintainer of the Linux 2.6 kernel, who works for Open Source Development Labs Inc., in Beaverton, Ore., said there is no formal road map for an enterprise Linux feature set since the development of those technologies rests largely with vendors such as Red Hat Inc., IBM, Novell Inc. and CA.
"We are pumping feature changes into the kernel at an enormous rate," said Morton.
Still, Morton took issue with Greenblatts contention, saying that most new features are optional and that their use is at the discretion of organizations compiling their builds of the kernel.
Morton said new features should continue to be added to the stable 2.6 tree rather than forming a new 2.7 development tree.
Critics of the development process point to growing competition among vendors to get code for new features accepted. But Morton maintains that the competition is healthy because it helps top-level kernel developers understand what subfeatures are required and what other users need.
On the enterprise front, Morton said he expects to merge code from Cambridge Universitys Computer Laboratories Xen virtualization technology into the Linux kernel within the next few months. Xen "does the right thing technically," unlike other technologies, which are mainly workarounds for the fact that the operating system is not appropriately licensed, Morton said.
But CAs Greenblatt disagreed, saying that other virtualization technologies, such as one from VMware Inc., in Palo Alto, Calif., currently fill the virtualization role.
"We would be happy to see a true hypervisor [an application that allows multiple operating systems to run concurrently on the same physical server]. We think [Xen] is great innovation, but its concept of virtualization is still not to the point that we want to see in there," Greenblatt said.
Ian Pratt, a Xen project leader at Cambridge University, in England, said that Xen is indeed a true hypervisor.
"It runs on the bare metal and provides protected virtual environments for guest operating systems running on top of it," Pratt said. "Because of the paravirtualized approach, where we make some modifications to the guest operating systems, weve been able to allow the hypervisor and Linux to work in a more cooperative fashion."
On the issue of adding more clustering technology to the kernel, Morton said he hopes that clustering teams are working on factoring out common components for a merge into the mainline kernel.
InfiniBand, a channel-based, switch-fabric architecture from Topspin Communications Inc., in Mountain View, Calif., which was acquired last week by Cisco Systems Inc. , has already been moved into the kernel, Morton said, adding that the other InfiniBand stakeholders "seemed fine" with that decision.
Pratt said the Xen team is working with InfiniBand vendors to ensure that InfiniBand channels can be extended into guest operating systems running over Xen in an efficient yet fully protected manner.

The Site of Harriet Tubman's First Act of Defiance
When Harriet Tubman was around 15 years old girl, sometime around 1835. She was sent to the Bucktown store shown here in this photo. Here she encountered a slave owned by another family, who had left work in the fields without permission. The overseer, angry, and demanded that Tubman help stop the young man. She refused, and as the slave ran away, the overseer threw a two-pound weight at him. While standing in the the doorway of this store the weight struck Tubman instead. She said the weight "broke my skull". She later explained her belief that her hair which "had never been combed and stood out like a bushel basket" saved her life. While bleeding and unconscious, Tubman was sent back to her owner's house and laid on the seat of a loom, where she remained without care for two days. She was sent back into the fields , "with blood and sweat rolling down my face until I couldn't see." Her boss said she was "not worth a sixpence" and returned her to Edward Brodess, who tried unsuccessfully to sell her. She began having seizures and would seemingly fall unconscious, although she claimed to be aware of her surroundings while appearing to be asleep. These episodes were alarming to her family, who were unable to wake her when she fell asleep suddenly and without warning. This condition remained with Tubman until she underwent an operation on her skull at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital in the late 1890s. She had received no anesthesia for the procedure, and reportedly chose instead to bite down on a bullet, as she had seen Civil War soldiers do when their limbs were amputated.
At the time this happen, Bucktown was a busy community with two stores, a shopkeeper's home, blacksmith,farms, and shipyards on the nearby Transquaking River.
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

Brian Ortega certainly earned his gold.
The lifelong Carson resident went five grueling rounds with Keoni Koch before being awarded a split-decision victory to win the vacant Resurrection Fighting Alliance featherweight title at RFA 12 on Saturday night at the Shrine Auditorium.
Two judges scored it 49-46 for Ortega (8-0), while one judge saw it 49-46 for Koch.
The fight was reminiscent of when Pedro Munhoz won the vacant RFA bantamweight belt at RFA 9 with a challenging split-decision win against a game veteran in Jeff Curran.
If Koch (5-1) was supposed to be a walkover for the young Gracie Academy fighter, he didn't get the memo upon arriving from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Between the sweat from the two and the blood from Koch's nose and mouth, both fighters had difficulties clamping onto the other for submission holds.
Giving away 11 years, the 22-year-old Ortega had Koch in several dangerous predicaments — from his beloved triangle choke to guillotine chokes — but Koch kept getting out of the submission attempts and applying his own efforts to end the fight.
It looked as if Ortega was going to finish it in the fourth round when he wrapped his legs around Koch's head for a prolonged triangle choke, but Koch hung tough and slid free.
In the other title fight on the card, Munhoz wasted little time defending his bantamweight championship for the first time. A kick staggered Billy Daniels and Munhoz jumped in to cinch a guillotine choke and pull guard, leading to the tapout victory in just 41 seconds. The Black House gym fighter improved to 10-0 and could be a prime candidate to get signed by the UFC. Daniels suffered his first loss to fall to 7-1.
In a showdown of local former UFC middleweights, Kevin Casey (7-3) of the Black House gym took Eddie Mendez down early and went to work. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt from Hawthorne mauled Mendez (7-3-1) until the Van Nuys fighter verbally submitted due to strikes. The referee called the fight at 3:38 of the first round.
In what was the fight of the night and the first decision of the evening, Justine Kish earned a hard-fought unanimous decision over Randa Markos Thomas in a women's strawweight battle. Kish (4-0), fighting out of Black House gym, threw everything at her opponent for the first two rounds — punches, body kicks, front kicks, head kicks, elbows, spinning back elbows — but Markos Thomas wouldn't go away. In the final round, Randa Thomas got a takedown and was in full mount before getting an armbar that had the crowd on its feet. Kish escaped, however, and came away with the 29-28, 29-28, 30-27 victory.
Los Angeles' James Moontasri continues to impress as the lightweight handed Rick Reger his first loss in devastating fashion. After winning the first round with a series of knees and takedowns, Moontasri (6-1) caught Reger with a right uppercut early in the second round. After Reger went down, Moontasri took his back and went for a standing rear-naked choke. Reger (6-1) fell to his back in an effort to shake Moontasri, but the Black House fighter held on for the technical-submission victory 28 seconds into the round.
In the opening fight on the main card, featherweight Boston Salmon had a memorable pro debut. With his right leg reddening from the impact of several kicks by Black House fighter Perceu Friza, Salmon connected with a vicious front kick to Friza's body. Friza backed up in pain and Salmon (1-0) jumped all over him, winging punches before Friza (2-1) went down and the referee waved off the fight at 3:13 of the first round.

He kept coming back, year after year, horse after horse, trying to get another victory in the Preakness Stakes before he was done. Going into the 138th running of the Triple Crown's middle leg, D. Wayne Lukas had tried eight times since Charismatic won at Pimlico Race Course in 1999 — with 12 different entries.
The best any of his horses could do was third place — twice — with Proud Citizen in 2002 and Scrimshaw in 2003.
But as the 77-year-old Hall of Fame trainer pointed out after 15-1 shot Oxbow took the lead nearly out of the gates and held off Itsmyluckyday by 1 ¾ lengths to give Lukas his sixth victory in the Preakness, even winning a record 14th Triple Crown race was not going to change his career plans.
The former high school basketball coach from Wisconsin is nowhere near his own personal finish line.
Speaking to the media that had seemingly written him off in the 12 years since his last Triple Crown victory with Commendable at the 2000 Belmont Stakes, Lukas said, "The thing about it is that you get up every day and look for that one that maybe you can do something [with].
"But as long as we've got something to work with, we're going to be around. I think that we're not through by a long way here. I feel like we can get up and maybe get another one someplace down the line."
That could happen in three weeks at the Belmont Stakes. Though he said that he had yet to talk with Oxbow's owner, Brad Kelley, Lukas said neither he nor the horse's 50-year-old Hall of Fame jockey, Gary Stevens, thought Saturday's race had done much to tax the winner.
"Gary and I were talking and one of the things that really impressed us was he was not even blowing when he walked in the winner circle," Lukas said. "I don't know if you noticed that, but he didn't hardly turn a hair, and he showed no stress lines whatsoever, nothing."
And then there was Lukas' own competitiveness, which clearly hasn't been racheted down at all since he was winning Triple Crown races like some trainers win a Graded Stakes race.
"You know me, I like to rack them up in the big events," he said. "So I'll probably go" to the Belmont.
While a victory for Orb would have energized the entire sport as much as Oxbow's win fired up his trainer, Lukas' win was appreciated by the man who was denied his own chance at helping make history with what would have been a chance at the first Triple Crown in 35 years.
"One thing about him, when he wasn't doing as good, he was still the first guy on that pony at 5 o'clock in the morning going to the racetrack," Orb trainer Shug McGauhey said outside his horse's stall after the race. "He was always a very optimistic guy. He's been a credit to this game for a long time. Some of his things might have been questioned along the way, but my hat's off to him. It always has been."
Said Stevens, who won the first of his nine Triple Crown victories on the Lukas-trained filly Winning Colors in the 1988 Kentucky Derby, "All the stars were aligned. I couldn't be more pleased with winning this thing. It's even more special winning it for Wayne Lukas and his team."
Asked about breaking the previous record of 13 Triple Crown victories by legendary trainer "Sunny" Jim Fitzsimmons, Lukas said, "I well shared that record with a very special man in this industry. And if I never broke it, I was proud of that. I know he meant so much to the thoroughbred industry. I thought maybe we'd win another one, but to get it done, it's probably going to be on Trivial Pursuit in about five minutes, but that's about it."
His own personal game of not-so-trivial pursuit continues, as Lukas will head out in search of another Triple Crown victory.
"They're all special," he said.

The initial list of users was created from my pirc stats, and not from memory. So the most prolific posters ended up on the list. I'd suggest that if your adding yourself to the list, link to your userpage. Then link to any screenshots, blogs, etc from there.
-- xterminus
- Major update of the page. Comments and suggestions are more than welcome, and so are edits
- Mr.Elendig 13:22, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
- Could one of the ops perhaps add the link to the stats page? http://hax0r.se/aotstats.html
- I accidentally added it to the entry, since I missed the "warning".
Making it easier for newbs.
Sorry, I didn't see the op-only warning before making a few changes to make it a little clearer on how to connect for first time IRC users like me. I just added some extra verbiage before the IRC commands /connect and /join and some extra verbiage right before the NickServ detail.
I think it is more helpful now though. Trusktr 13:36, 7 September 2010 (EDT)
Pornographic material
It's becoming more and more apparent to me that the (--offtopic) channel consists of a lot of young "lads" who deem it fit to discuss pornography at any time of day or night. Yes, I know it's an offtopic channel and as such there should be a lot of leeway with regards to open discussion however links to what can only be considered extreme pornography cannot be sanctioned surely. Watching the channel, there are often calls for pictures from at least one of the female members - something that is again in my opinion highly inappropriate. At the moment looking in channel there has just been a ban against one member for a racial comment yet nothing apparent has been said of his/her link to a site that is extreme in nature - go figure. I would call upon the chanops to at least have some debate on this in an effort to reduce this type of material being presented. -- Suhana 17:43, 8 December 2010 (EST)
Pornographic material and sexual harassment are absolutely unacceptable per the Freenode policies as outlined here [1]. I will bring this up with the Trusted Users. --Kaitocracy 02:28, 13 December 2010 (EST)
The gender-related invective is actually quite astonishing in #archlinux-offtopic. As I've said, I understand freedom is required in offtopic channels however continual and repeated snide attacks (for example: posting links to youtube clips) against the girls is utterly incomprehensible. I can accept that while freenode have their set of rules, it is upto the channel operators to enforce those rules something that is clearly not being done. I will also accept that this is going to be difficult to maintain a 24/7 presence as few have the fortitude or desire to sit there acting as monitor for so long, however I do feel that as the situation stands, not enough is being done to ensure a gender safe environment. (Again as an example, discussing and joking about rape I can see no place in civilized conversation).
Personally I'm not seeking any special treatment - when an old friend comes into channel and greets me with a peck on the cheek, I have absolutely no problems with it, when I see people discussing the fact that they would f... a woman named "off" or being told to get on skype or f... off I wonder just why we need to be subjected to such boorish behaviour. /IGNORE has its benefits and its drawbacks - notably when people abuse useful repeaters of whatever nature. There does appear to be a few good inhabitants, and for that reason I've no wish to drop out from -offtopic, however as it stands it's really quite badly maintained and I respectfully submit that more needs to be done. Suhana 12:55, 24 December 2010 (EST)
Anyone who have a issue with what's being said/linked to in the channel should contact the ops directly. It is a more efficient and apropiate way of dealing with it.Mr.Elendig
'/query nickserv' doesn't work
Instead '/msg nickserv' should be used. I would want to change this page accordingly. --Turris 08:31, 5 November 2011 (EDT)
- '/query' works in most clients, for those that don't have it, use '/msg' or '/quote ns' instead.
- /msg has the disadvantage that on many clients it will not open a new query window, so the responce from nickserv ends up hiden on the server buffer instead
- Mr.Elendig 13:39, 22 November 2011 (EST)
- Can it be added that the command to register is "register <password> <email>"?
- For whatever reason I could not get the help to work for "/query nickserv help register"
- It opened a new tab in my case but wouldnt do anything else. amethystdragon 01:35, 02/01/2013 (CST)
#archlinux_guidelines update suggestion
I suggest the quoted block below as a replacement for the current content of #archlinux guidelines
It is intended to me more concise, easier to read and reference (thanks to being in a numbered list), neutral/professional rather than ranting. Some uncertain-sounding statements were replaced by more direct words.
- The language of the channel is English. If you need help in another language, search international arch channels.
- Read the
/topicon a regular basis. It often contains important information.
- Do not participate in flamewars, instantly report violators and trolls to channel operators.
- Do not spam the channel, use a pastebin to share something longer than three lines.
program &> program-output.txtin combination with pastebin clients can ease this step.
- Do not abuse phrik (the channel bot). If you want to try out commands or look trough the help function, then do it in a
/msg. Example:
/query phrik help <command>.
- Do not ask whether anyone is alive or uses your software, just state your question.
- Ask smart questions. It is easier for us to help you when you ask good/smart questions.
- Do not demand help, ask for it. Wait for a few minutes before restating questions. Most questions get answered by 'just another user', like you.
- Do not be shy, feel free to help others, every user has something to contribute. The channel is a community effort to provide support, and depends on volunteers.
- Help yourself before you ask. Use wiki search, use forum search, read man pages and try Google. This method will get you an answer faster, and will teach you more.
- When asking for help, always reply to people that ask you for more information, if you do not know the answer then say so.
- Set a good example. Each user's behavior affects all users in the channel. Be friendly and polite to maintain a pleasant and professional climate.
--Qubodup 10:15, 14 March 2012 (EDT)
- Looks certainly better than the current section, however you should request feedback directly in #archlinux or on the forums. -- Kynikos 08:07, 15 March 2012 (EDT)
- Thanks for the suggestion. I asked for review on the forums and am currently doing the same on #archlinux.--Qubodup (talk) 11:26, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
- I think this looks great. And it gives more information for new channel users. --Meskarune (talk) 10:14, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
Typo in #archlinux guidelines
Number five under #archlinux guidelines says "look trough the help function". --CrashLog (talk) 17:49, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

The graduate faculty consists primarily of Michigan Tech tenure and tenure-track academic faculty (assistant professors, associate professors, and professors) who have been appointed by the dean of the Graduate School. Tenure and tenure-track faculty appointments at the University are associated with automatic appointment to the graduate faculty. Tenure and tenure-track faculty who are awarded emeritus status upon retirement remain members of the graduate faculty.
The graduate faculty also includes others with an ongoing professional relationship with Michigan Tech who are willing and qualified to contribute to the University's graduate programs. Such individuals typically have been appointed as research, part-time, visiting, or adjunct faculty members, or lecturers or instructors. These people are nominated to the dean of the Graduate School for appointment to the graduate faculty by the department chair and college dean or school dean of the academic unit that most closely matches the nominee's area of expertise. Nominees must possess either the terminal degree in their field or be able to demonstrate that their academic training and professional experience qualify them for appointment. All nominations should be made using the recommendation for graduate faculty appointment form and must include a copy of the nominee's vitae.
Individuals with no formal appointment at Michigan Tech and individuals who do not qualify for full appointment to the graduate faculty may apply for an ad hoc appointment to the graduate faculty if they are interested in being a part of a graduate student's committee and they have the potential to make substantive contributions to that student's education. Ad hoc appointments terminate with the completion of the particular task for which the appointment was granted. Ad hoc graduate faculty are considered external members of graduate students' committees.
Members of the graduate faculty who leave the University may, upon request of the chair of the department or dean of the school affected, remain on the graduate faculty in ad hoc status until all of the students they are advising or serving on committees for leave the University.
Members of the graduate faculty are eligible to teach graduate courses (5000- and 6000-level). They may supervise master's and PhD students, and serve as examining members on master's and PhD committees. Faculty with adjunct status in a department or school may not serve as the external examining member on committees for students in that department.
Persons who are not members of the graduate faculty may teach 5000- and 6000-level courses only after obtaining written approval from the dean of the Graduate School. Requests for permission should be prepared by department chairs or school deans and should include a completed request for permission to teach graduate courses form and a copy of the nominee's vitae. This documentation should be forwarded to the dean of the Graduate School who will approve or decline the request.
Review of Graduate Faculty
Department chairs and college/school deans are expected to continually review the performance of all individuals in their respective units holding graduate faculty appointments. When, in a chair's or dean's professional judgment, a faculty member holding a graduate faculty appointment is no longer satisfactorily functioning in this capacity, s/he must recommend to the dean of the Graduate School that the individual in question be removed from the graduate faculty. The dean of the Graduate School may also initiate the removal process in consultation with the appropriate chair and/or dean.

'How to be Gay' Author Explains It All To You
How homosexuals relate to the world, to the culture of being gay, and to the culture of heterosexuality is examined in a thought-provoking new book titled "How To Be Gay."
The book is written by David M. Halperin, a specialist in gay studies and a professor of English at The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He has done an exceptional job examining what constitutes the practices, history and ideology of gay culture and sub-cultures.
Initially, when he started teaching his class "How To Be Gay" in 2000, it was completely misunderstood by some in the media and by others representing both the political and religious right. Halperin's desire to "set the record straight" so to speak, led to the writing of his latest book, "How To Be Gay."
Here for EDGE Media Network, is a revealing, interesting and personal conversation with David Halperin about discovering the meanings behind gay culture and sensibility while closing some of the generational gaps, along the way... in being gay.
Being culturally gay
EDGE: I want to start at the beginning, in regards to the title of the course you taught called "How To Be Gay" at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and using the same title for your book. I'm not asking you to defend the title.
David M. Halperin: Of course not. I understand that.
EDGE: For those who judge a book by its cover or in this case, by its 'title.' Why did you name it as such?
David M. Halperin: I named the class 'How To Be Gay' because it described the topic I wanted to cover. The class wasn't designed to teach people how to be gay. It was about the notion some gay people have that there's a right way to be gay, that gay men have to learn how to be gay. I wanted to convey the paradoxical idea that is summed up in the first sentence of the course description: 'Just because you happen to be a gay man doesn't mean that you don't have to learn how to become one.' I was interested in the old problem of how you become who you are.
EDGE: It's a sense of being or belonging to so many variant factors, but knowing at the core of it, that there is one factor that must be acknowledged... the culture or subculture of a person's homosexuality.
David M. Halperin: Right. I'm not taking any position on whether people are born homosexual or not. The book and the class were not about how to be homosexual or what causes people to be homosexual. (No one has a clue about that.) It was about how to be culturally gay. I was intrigued by this notion - by the very fact that some people believe you can be 'culturally gay.' For me, that notion never made sense. For a long time, I didn't understand it. But then, being culturally gay hasn't been my experience at all. Being gay for me has always been a sexual experience. And in that department at least I've certainly met the definition of being gay. So what more did I have to do to be gay?
Ignore the title
EDGE: Right. Like you're not gay enough and you are supposed to fit a mold.
David M. Halperin: Exactly. Like, having sex with guys isn't enough? There's something more I've got to do to be gay? I've also got to like Judy Garland? That notion didn't make sense to me, so I wanted to figure out what was behind it, what people had in mind when they said that kind of thing.
EDGE: Yeah, I was trying to explain the premise of your book and I mentioned the title to a friend and he didn't understand it. He almost took offense to it.
David M. Halperin: Yeah, everybody's offended. A lot of the reviews have been hostile and a lot of the talk in the blogosphere has been hostile. People find the whole topic very offensive.
And I would say to them, 'Stop looking at the title. Stop reading the reviews and read the book.' I understand perfectly well why people find it offensive. I used to find this idea offensive myself. That's why I got interested in it. The book records both my hesitation about it and my reason for deciding that it actually made sense to explore the cultural differences between gay and straight.
Hey, that's me
EDGE: Tell me about the process of taking what you taught and turning that into a book on the subject?
David M. Halperin: When the class caused a scandal, I realized I would have to try and address the topic seriously in my own writing. I needed to make it clear that I was a thoughtful guy and that the class wasn't just some kind of stunt. I started working on the book in 2001. It's by far the hardest thing I've ever tried to do. And I didn't fully understand where the book was going until the very last draft.
My class was designed to explore a question. But if you write a book, it's not enough just to raise questions. If you write a book, you have to have some answers -- some hypotheses and interpretations. So that's why it took so long for me to write it. I needed to come up with some answers to the unfathomable question that I had asked myself: namely, 'what does sexuality have to do with culture?' I taught the class from 2000 to 2007 on and off. I stopped teaching it when I began to figure out what I wanted to say in the book.
EDGE: I finished the book and there were numerous times of personal discovery from you answering that question.
David M. Halperin: I'm so glad you finished it because... partly because I want to know what you thought of the end and partly because it's such a long book, I worry that people won't finish it or they won't keep reading it. I'm glad to know that it carried you through.
EDGE: I strongly related to several of the chapters in the book. I had to stop and think, 'Hey! That's me.'
David M. Halperin: That's very gratifying. A few people have written to me, people I know and don't know, to say that they recognized a lot of their experience in some of these descriptions.
Conforming to stereotypes
EDGE: One important part of the book is that you describe your personal opinions and share a part of yourself in the discourse. When you put your two-cents in, it gives the reader a chance to identify.
David M. Halperin: Yes, I intended those references to myself to be a kind of hook for the reader and help draw the reader in. Also, I wanted to make it clear that I didn't think I was speaking for every gay person in the world. I had my own experience and my own limitations. At the same time, I don't usually believe in talking about myself in my work. I don't think I'm especially interesting as a person. I'm pretty generic. The bits of my personal experience that are included in the book are designed to be exemplary.
EDGE: What is also fascinating to read about is how the generations take and discard segments of the culture or how the culture morphs over the years.
David M. Halperin: That is a large topic. Gay culture has changed in all sorts of ways, and in other ways it has changed astonishingly little. Nowadays we like to emphasize how much has changed, which is one of the reasons why we tend to think of gay culture as old-fashioned, irrelevant, on its way out. Why does gay culture look so archaic to us? That's one of the questions I try to answer.
EDGE: There is a section of one chapter that you only wrote one sentence and the sentence is, 'Sometimes I think homosexuality is wasted on gay people' I busted out laughing.
David M. Halperin: That is my favorite sentence in the book. I'm glad you like it. I had a particular political point to make at that moment. But I certainly don't mean that there is only one right way to be gay. I hope the book appeals to people who don't necessarily like Broadway musicals, or old movies... it seems to me that there are all sorts of pathways that different people take in their gay cultural practices. What I mean by gay culture is not just some classic icons, like Bette Davis, or movies, like 'All About Eve,' which many people will find stereotypical.
Gay culture refers to any practice that involves a departure from mainstream heterosexual culture. Whether it's an obsession with austere modernist architectural design or Victorian antiques. Or any kind of stylistic pursuit that involves an attempt to escape from the world around you, a search for pleasure and beauty, especially a refusal of the standard model of heterosexual masculinity.
Changing culture
EDGE: There is a big window of uniquely personal aspects inherent to this.
David M. Halperin: There are still certain kinds of continuities or consistencies to it. The reason I picked examples that some people may find stereotypical (like Broadway musicals or Joan Crawford) isn't that I believe that those items represent the essence of gay culture, as some of my reviewers have said. I don't think that at all.
Rather, in order to talk about the relationship between sexuality and culture, I needed to pick some well-known, classic examples that people would agree on. I wasn't claiming that these things are necessarily what young gay men today like: I was deliberately picking something that was not of our own time but was a classic instance, so there wouldn't be any real disagreement about the fact that it did function as an element in gay male culture for many people.
EDGE: Yes, definitely.
David M. Halperin: One of the standard reactions to the book and the project of the book is to say, 'Oh, this only applies to a certain generation.' Or 'This is only true for gay men in their sixties. The gay culture he talks about is completely meaningless to anyone in their twenties.' Other people say, 'this book is really about how to be gay in your twenties. It doesn't apply to anyone else.' Or, 'this is about middle-class gay men.' Or 'white gay men.' Everyone seems to want to say the gay culture I'm talking about is someone else's gay culture, not theirs. But then none of them can agree on whose gay culture it is. The main point seems to be to deny it's your own.
I sympathize with that impulse. After all, my own generation thought we didn't need gay culture. That's because we had gay sex. We had masculinity and we had gay clones. We didn't want to have anything to do with that old-fashioned, effeminate culture of people older than us. So, it's interesting to me when people nowadays say, 'Oh, this gay culture belongs to people of just one generation' (even if they can't agree on which generation it is). One of the things that I try to insist on in the book is that there have been a lot of changes in gay culture, but the fact that a lot of people are culturally gay as well as sexually gay - that hasn't changed.
The culture itself changes. Joan Crawford may no longer be important; it may now be Lady Gaga or Madonna or Beyoncé. But the phenomenon I'm trying to describe has not disappeared. It is still the case that a lot of gay men invest great amounts of feeling and meaning in certain specific works of mainstream culture, and they forge a non-standard relation to those works that straight people do not have. That phenomenon has not disappeared.
"How To Be Gay" is available at your local book seller or at Amazon.com.

Denny's Diner on Shelburne Road
- Date:
- 2013-04-23
- Description:
- What once was a house on the corner of Shelburne Street and Swift Street, is now Denny's Diner on the corner of Shelburne Road and Swift street. It is important to note the change on Shelburne Road, for the traffic lights, signs, and electrical posts were not there before. What was probably a quiet street at one point is now one of the main roads to get in and out of Burlington, and to get on and off the Interstate Highway.

This Target hack is a BFD. I'm at the mall this weekend because I'm a very last-minute shopper and it was the only time I could find to shop. My wife calls me because she gets this email from Chase which I'll paraphrase here:
You got hacked. Lolz! It ain't our fault, really. So sorry. So so sorry. Oh, BTW we're putting new limits on how you can use your card in the middle of Christmas week because of Target. Hey hope this doesn't screw you up, but I hope you weren't planning on spending more than $100 a day with us. Happy holidays.
Think about this for longer than a few minutes, think about how this affects millions of customers, and then you'll realize that this Target hack could potentially ding a percent or two off of this holiday season for a few retailers.
When we look back at this time, we're going to laugh at how silly our approach to payment systems was from about 1980 – 2013. I think that the Target hack is likely just the beginning, but it is clear that (even with strict PCI-compliance) we need a radical change in payment.
Problems with Payment
- Our credit cards (at least in the US) are the technology equivalent of a cassette tape. While I'm running around town with a smartphone that can read my fingerprint whenever I shop, I'm still using the equivalent of an 8-track cassette tape to pay for everything. Instead of moving toward a system that uses my location and my fingerprint. We're just walking around with wallets that are no more secure than an envelope labeled "My Credit Card Numbers" that is totally unprotected. Steal my wallet, and you've got my credit card numbers… there's a better way.
- We still have this irrational belief in the signature (and checkout clerks still eyeball them). This is our idea of identity verification – here's a quill pen, why don't you just sign this. Now wait… there's enough reliable location data flowing from my phone to enable every checkout clerk to say, "Welcome to the store Mr. O'Brien" without me saying anything. The store should know I'm there already, the technology also exists to have the store take care of payment authorization every time I pick something up. My phone could generate a piece of data that could encrypt not just who I am, but where I've been today and what the time is down to the microsecond authenticated by several GPS satellites.
- Online payment systems that offer more security are tiny in comparison to the 50,000 lbs gorillas that dominate the system. No one uses these systems. Add up the value of all the innovative payment companies in the Bay Area (Square, PayPal, + a thousand others), and you still don't touch the $6.9 trillion total volume of Visa. That's $6.9 trillion dollars flowing through billions of point-of-sale terminals (or "all the money"). Someone needs to figure out how to upgrade that instead of creating yet another payment system to trial in San Francisco and New York.
When I wrote about payment systems in 2010, the universal warning everyone was throwing at me was, "Don't expect anything to change in the short-term. The retail industry moves slowly, and no one wants to make the capital investment necessary to upgrade point-of-sale." At the time I was talking to a senior manager at a well-known payment company based in the Bay Area about NFC payment systems. According to him, the future was now a revolution was upon us. It wasn't.
The solution
1. Ensure real competition in the payment processing space. Huge payment providers like the ones that have logos in your wallet have had a history of using confidentiality agreements with vendors and transaction fees as a tool to lock out the competition. For example, you are not allowed to offer discounts for different kinds of payment methods. Whether or not this continues to happen after the interchange fee settlement is up for debate, but we need to make sure that new technologies are not locked out of the physical point-of-sale space.
2. Put all the risk on payment providers. If you provide a card or technology that people can use for payment, put all of the responsibility for a compromise on the payment provider. This will motivate payment providers to move away from the current, insecure methods of payment that we use today. Your credit card won't just be a series of easy to copy numbers, it will make use of the technology we have available. Also, this would force dramatic changes to PCI. "Storing a credit card #" at a merchant would go away, and instead your transactions would look more like PayPal's authorization process for recurring payments.
With real competition, the payment processors that can control risk will be able to offer a significantly lower cost to the retailer, and retailers will provide the necessary motivation to consumers to adopt the more secure technology. If Square has the best risk management and fraud prevention technology available, a retailer should be able to offer customers that use that technology a 1-2% discount if they pay with Square. Competition (not regulation) is the way out of this mess.

I tried out two more recipes from Susan's FatFree Vegan Kitchen this week. One was this delicious Banana Coffee Cake.
Now to someone who reads my blog, it will be no surprise I picked up this recipe. I am nuts about banana breads and cakes, and have many of my own versions which you'll find right here.
This cake on Susan's site looked super-delicious, and sounded very different, so I couldn't wait to give it a try.
I made some changes to this recipe, mainly out of necessity. I haven't had a chance to go grocery-shopping for white whole-wheat flour recently, which is the flour Susan uses in this recipe, so I just subbed with half regular whole-wheat flour and half all-purpose. I also used applesauce instead of soy yogurt.
While powdering up the cinnamon sticks in my spice grinder, I threw in two cloves which gave the bread a really delicious, spicy kick. For the rest, I followed Susan's recipe faithfully.
The cake was really delicious, with a delicate crumb and the cooked bananas, all mushy and gooey, tasted sublime.
The other recipe I tried out was an Ethiopian Berbere Stew, a red lentil stew that reminded me a lot of a tomato dal.
The spice mixture used here has so many elements of the Indian garam masala, and more. For instance, it includes fenugreek seeds, which I usually add to my own garam masala powder, but which is not a typical garam masala ingredient– fenugreek, by nature, is a cooling agent, whereas spices are generally supposed to warm and stimulate the body.
I also loved the ease of preparation. The ingredients all go into the pot and cook together, so there was no sauteeing of onions and garlic first, adding tomatoes and spices, etc. that would usually be required for a dal.
I added some coriander leaves at the very end to this recipe, and it was just delicious. I also used fresh tomatoes instead of crushed, as the recipe instructs, because I've been getting an abundance of fresh tomatoes in the market and I can't resist them. It likely explains why my stew wasn't quite as red as Susan's.
The wonderful aroma that spread through the house as this stew cooked has to be experienced to be believed. Susan suggested serving the stew with brown rice, so I cooked up my Brown Rice Pilaf which went beautifully with the stew, along with some Minty Roasted Potatoes.
Enjoy, everyone, and don't forget to cook and post your favorite FatFree Vegan recipe for Tried and Tasted which I'm hosting this month. Rules are here.
Freddie just got a "spring cleaning." Each Spring, the groomer shaves off all of his beautiful long hair so he can be comfortable in the warm months. By the time fall approaches, most of it has grown back and he's ready, fur and all, to face the weather.
I usually get questions from neighbors (yes, sometimes each year) as to whether I've got a new dog. He looks so different. 🙂

LSC-Tomball History
A Unique BillThough voter enthusiasm was widespread, Tomball was eliminated from the District bid with the withdrawal of Klein ISD due to the state requirement that the ISDs must be contiguous.
The leaders of Tomball pursued the issue all the way to the state legislature. What resulted was a unique bill, one that fit no other District in Texas, and it allowed the Tomball community to call a special election to become part of the college District. Following the passage of the bill (known throughout Texas as the "Tomball Bill"), the Tomball ISD Board passed a resolution expressing its desire to be a part of the college District; petitions were circulated throughout the community; and in Jan. 1982, the proposal passed by a 3 to 1 margin. The Tomball Bill made Tomball the only independent school district in Texas to become a non-contiguous member of a junior college.
Breaking GroundIn 1985, the District purchased the 143 acre site on which the college now sits. It then commissioned the architectural firm of McKittrick Richardson Wallace Architects to design a building that both matched the beauty of the selected site and reflected the connection of the college to the community.
The result was a megastructure (a single comprehensive building rather than multiple buildings) which took the form of a cruciform comprised of four wings with each wing named for one point of the directional compass. This award-winning design reflects the mission of the college and its employees: at the center of the cruciform is the Commons atrium area, which is the heart of the college and represents the college's sense of community; and the four wings that branch off of the Commons represent the desire of the college to radiate educational opportunities to the four corners of the community.
The two existing colleges in the District had been named the south campus and the east campus as originally planned, the college District chose to call the new college the Tomball Campus in recognition of the commitment and enthusiasm of the Tomball community to higher education. The founding president of Lone Star College–Tomball was Dr. Roy Lazenby. One of the first ten employees in the District, a long-time citizen of Tomball, and a man with deep and abiding commitment to education in his community, Dr. Lazenby hand-picked the faculty and staff that became the backbone of the college. At the close of its first registration, 1750 had enrolled. The college dedication ceremony was held on September 25, 1988 and was attended by a thousand members of the Tomball community.

We've been here before: The Mets will use Bobby Parnell as their closer while Frank Francisco is on the DL. The Mets once had visions of Parnell starting, but that fizzled. He's been tried as the closer several times, including late last season, but never grasped the job.
Parnell got the opportunity last September after Jason Isringhausen earned his 300th save, but only converted three of seven opportunities. That forced the Mets to go after Jon Rauch and Francisco last winter in the FA market.
Collins has handled Parnell conservatively this season and believes he's ready for another shot. In 36 appearances, Parnell is 1-1 with a 3.19 ERA with 31 strikeouts.
"I think his confidence is much better," Collins told reporters in Chicago. "I think his experience doing it already is going to help him this year. So he's going to get that chance.
"I wanted him to have that confidence. That's why throughout this whole first half, when we mixed and matched who was going to pitch where, Bobby was absolutely dominant in that seventh-inning spot, where he was coming in and mowing guys down. So his confidence was high."
Then the defense bailed on him in Washington which led to a couple of blown save opportunities.
Parnell attributed his success this season to taking something off his fastball. He's still in the mid-90's, but with better control.
"I've just got to keep doing what I've been doing," Parnell said. "I've had good success with that. I try not to overthrow. I'm just trying to throw strikes in the bottom of the zone and flip a couple of curveballs up there and get them off balance."

Gold's Afternoon Leap Shows Macro Worries Alive and (Somewhat) Well
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
John Paulson who? A volatile session is turning to the favor of gold bulls -- especially in the last hour.
This chart says it all. The metal caught a lunchtime rocket shortly before 1 p.m. that has its price ahead by more than 2%, to $1,361 per ounce at this writing. We haven't seen gold in this vicinity since mid-June.
SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is rising 2.2%, to $131.60, while Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is ahead by 3.8%. Things are also looking up for Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ), which is rising 3.6%.
Coming after news of reduced or eliminated stakes by John Paulson, George Soros and other well-known investors, one has to ask: Is this the return of the worry trade?
George Gero of RBW Wealth Management called the move in copper, silver and gold just that to clients even before the afternoon leap.
"All this is showing physical demand for the metals as buyers are looking ahead to US budget negotiations, politics, Mid East problems, North Korea, and higher interest rates boosting lease rates for those needing to borrow gold for hedges," he writes in a midday client note.
He went further: "I can see 1400 area by year end under these conditions as recently major money managers also lowered gold holding leaving many under invested[.]"
Global X Silver Miners ETF (SIL) is ahead by 3.3% this afternoon, iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is rising 5.5%, and the leveraged Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (DUST) are up and down, respectively, by about 12%.

Will the Republicans please, please stop their mantra that raising the tax rates for the wealthy will be bad for the economy. On Nov. 1, The New York Times reported that Senate Republicans applied pressure to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service in September, successfully persuading it to withdraw a report finding that lowering marginal tax rates for the wealthiest Americans had no effect on economic growth or job creation.
The CRS report, by researcher Thomas Hungerford, concluded:
The results of the analysis suggest that changes over the past 65 years in the top marginal tax rate and the top capital gains tax rate do not appear correlated with economic growth. The reduction in the top tax rates appears to be uncorrelated with saving, investment, and productivity growth. The top tax rates appear to have little or no relation to the size of the economic pie.
However, the top tax rate reductions appear to be associated with the increasing concentration of income at the top of the income distribution. As measured by IRS data, the share of income accruing to the top 0.1 percent of U.S. families increased from 4.2 percent in 1945 to 12.3 percent by 2007 before falling to 9.2 percent because of the 2007-09 recession. At the same time, the average tax rate paid by the top 0.1 percent fell from over 50 percent in 1945 to about 25 percent in 2009. Tax policy could have a relation to how the economic pie is sliced lower top tax rates may be associated with greater income disparities.
The CRS report can be found at www.docstoc.com/docs/134693051/CRS-Report-Top-Tax-Rates.

x11-servers/xorg-server: Update to 1.14
The X.Org server has been updated to 1.14. The changes it brings are described
in a post on the Graphics team blog:
The most noticable change is the DEVD input device autodetection backend
which is enabled by default, replacing the HAL backend. The keyboard
layout configuration must be migrated from HAL's .fdi files to X.Org
files. The procedure is explained in the post mentionned above.
Several ports were removed with this update, mainly because they are not
compatible with the X.Org server anymore:
o nvidia-driver-71
o nvidia-driver-96
Update the default version of GCC in the Ports Collection from GCC 4.7.4
to GCC 4.8.3.

PR: ports/188278
Submitted by: jmmv@, nwhitehorn@
When linking a library libA with a library libB using libtool, if libB.la
exists, libtool will add all libraries libB.la refers to (dependency_libs
field) to the linker command line and store them in the dependency_libs
field of libA.la. So everything that subsequently links with libA will also
link to these extra libraries. This causes too much overlinking.
This commit modifies Mk/Uses/libtool.mk so it empties the dependency_libs
field in .la libraries during staging. However, because .la libraries have
very limited use when dependency_libs is empty it makes sense to completely
remove them during staging.
So with this commit USES=libtool is modified to remove .la libraries and a
new form (USES=libtool:keepla) is introduced in case they need to be kept
(dependency_libs is still emptied).
The FreeBSD x11@ and graphics team proudly presents
a zeising, kwm production, with help from dumbbell, bdrewery:
This update switches over to use the new xorg stack by default on FreeBSD 9
and 10 stable, on osversions where vt(9) is available.
It is still possible to use the old stack by specifying WITHOUT_NEW_XORG in

FreeBSD 8-STABLE and released versions of FreeBSD still use
the old version.
A package repository with binary packages for new xorg will

althouthough It probably works for other chips. Unfortunately, the intel
KMS driver will only work on FreeBSD 9(RELENG|STABLE) or 10/HEAD users.
Older version of FreeBSD will not be supported. Intel users will need
to patch their source manually with Konstantin?s KMS kernel patch to get
the newer chips to work. Please carefully read UPDATING entry.
