Palladium Books® Reminder – December 19, 2011
By Kevin Siembieda
Three things . . .
● ONE: The Christmas Surprise Package is not just for Christmas. It makes a great gift for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and other celebrations, as well as an inexpensive way to fill holes in your own collection, try new game settings, get back issues of The Rifter®, prints, T-shirts and other goodies for pennies on the dollar. But order soon because the Surprise Package offer ENDS FRIDAY, December 23, 2011.
● TWO: For those of you living "east" of the Rocky Mountains, you can still order via UPS Ground (not as expensive as you think) and still get your Surprise Package in time for Christmas! But you must order tonight, Monday, December 19, 2011. You could take a chance and order as late as Tuesday if you're within a couple of states' distance from Michigan, but NO guarantee the Surprise Package will arrive in time for Christmas. We are trying to process ALL orders so they can ship the very next day after we receive them. All orders placed over the weekend shipped today.
● THREE: The Christmas Surprise Package offer ENDS December 23, 2012. Most years we extend the offer for a week or two after Christmas but we have not made that decision yet. As one person put it to me, in these tough economic times, nobody would blame Palladium for not extending the offer. But tough economic times is exactly why I should, because there are always a number of gamers who can't afford to buy a Surprise Package until after Christmas. I will make the decision to extend the offer or not in time for the Thursday Weekly Update.
Until then – finish your holiday shopping for your favorite gamer or plan ahead for that January or February birthday or anniversary. Thank you for your continued support and warm wishes for the holiday.
The Christmas Surprise Package – last day December 23, 2011
The Christmas Surprise Package is $80-$90+ worth of merchandise (often more!) for only $38 plus shipping and handling, is one of the best holiday deals anywhere. And you also get autographs in every book if you want them and the element of surprise with your wish list. Heck, the Palladium Christmas Surprise Package may be the "very best gift" money can buy, period! At least for gamers.
Buy one or several as gifts for your friends or for yourself. Use it to get books on the cheap to fill in holes in your gaming collection, try new RPGs and game settings, or get back issues of The Rifter®, or get original art, art prints and autographs. Surprise your fellow gamers with one choice book or a big pile of books for Christmas thanks to Palladium's Surprise Package. Can you imagine the look on your friend or loved one's face when you hand him or her a pile of role-playing products worth $90 (or more) . . . with autographs? And you only paid $38 (plus shipping and handling). Word it right and you may get a Surprise Package that has enough items to give to two or three friends. (For a lot of people this is the only way to get books signed by some of the creators and Palladium staff.)
What are you waiting for? Five days till Christmas!
Click here to order yours today.
Shipping guidelines to consider when purchasing ANY items as gifts for the holidays:
● UPS Ground Delivery – should arrive in time for Christmas if you order TONIGHT and live EAST of the Rocky Mountains. But remember, the "Surprise Package" isn't just for Christmas.
UPS Ground: Takes 2-3 days to most places east of the Rocky Mountains – provided there are no questions, problems or delays with your order. We do our best to make sure orders arrive before Christmas, but cannot guarantee delivery of UPS orders placed after Sunday. Include a day for processing and packaging.
- No special shipping cost for faster shipping is necessary.
- Your package is insured.
- It can be traced (most packages sent via the US Postal Service cannot be traced).
- Note: Those of you living east of the Rocky Mountains should get your UPS Ground orders in 2-3 days, but you MUST place your UPS Ground order TONIGHT to guarantee arrival before Christmas. Those of you in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio should be okay placing your orders by Tuesday night, but if there are any problems you risk not getting them by Christmas.
Those of you west of the Rockies (and those living in Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico and most of Texas) take 4-5 days, so at this point you'll need to select a faster shipping method.
● UPS 3 Day Select – You must order by TONIGHT to get it by Christmas at most locations in the USA: This service is guaranteed to arrive 3 days after being shipped to an address within the contiguous United States.
● UPS 2nd Day Air – You must order by TUESDAY night to get it by Christmas at most locations in the USA: This service is guaranteed to arrive 2 days after being shipped to an address within the contiguous United States.
● UPS Next Day Air – You must order by WEDNESDAY night to get it by Christmas at most locations in the USA: Guaranteed next day after it ships. HOWEVER, Palladium needs a day to process orders.
● Parcel Post – You may or may not get your package by Christmas. Parcel Post takes 3-6 days to arrive. No guarantee you'll get it in time. Note that orders shipped via the US Postal Service cannot be traced or tracked.
● Priority Mail – You must order by WEDNESDAY night to get your package by Christmas. USPS says Priority Mail should take 2 days to arrive in most cases, but there's no guarantee you will get it in time. Note that orders shipped via the US Postal Service cannot be traced or tracked.
● Express Mail – You must order by THURSDAY night to get it by Christmas at most locations in the USA: Express Mail takes ONE day to arrive, and will deliver on Saturday, December 24 if your order is placed by THURSDAY night.
● Media Mail packages WILL NOT ARRIVE before Christmas! Do not use Media Mail if you need the package in time for Christmas. If you can wait 6-21 days AFTER Christmas then this is fine. Media Mail is also much more likely to get "lost" in the mail. NOTE: Any order shipped Media Mail that is "lost in the mail" is YOUR loss, not Palladium Books. Your order will NOT be recreated. YOU use Media Mail – the most unreliable of shipping services – completely at your OWN risk. We strongly recommend UPS or Priority Mail.
● To expedite your orders, PLEASE make sure your Surprise Package Wish List/Special Wants are clear and numerous, include 8-12 currently available books/items, and make certain your address is complete and correct. We MUST have a complete street address including Apartment Number to ship via UPS. UPS cannot ship to a P.O. Box (see Priority). If you give us the wrong or incomplete address and the order gets lost – the loss is yours. Palladium cannot replace the order as a result of your mistake or omission. Remember, we are packing Christmas Surprise Packages full, often with $85-$100+ worth of product, and Palladium cannot afford to send the package out twice due to your mistake. We hope you understand. Likewise, numbered, limited editions and original artwork can NOT be replaced if lost. BE CAREFUL, send your complete, current address – including your apartment number – and use a reliable, trackable and insured method of shipping like UPS.
Note to Customers Outside the U.S.A.: At this point, we can NOT guarantee any order placed from this point forward to arrive before Christmas. Even if you use one of the express methods of shipping, delivery by Christmas is highly unlikely. Sorry.
1. You, the customer, are responsible for any and all duty, taxes or Customs fees. Books have the lowest fees and duty, but they can still be costly (typically around $20-$30). 2. Palladium Books is not responsible for any delays at Customs. We cannot guarantee time of arrival, so give yourself a few extra days. International Priority Mail should arrive within 5-7 business days, but give yourself a little extra time to be safe. 3. Palladium charges you ONLY for ACTUAL postage plus a small handling fee. We are a small company and cannot offer the low or no shipping that big companies like Amazon are able to provide. We hope you understand.
Palladium Books processes Christmas Surprise Package orders EVERY day (except weekends) in an effort to get them to you before Christmas. Have a wonderful and joyous holiday. OFFER ENDS December 23, 2011.
We do our best to make every Surprise Package special. My thanks to all of you for your support. Happy Holidays and game on!

Occupational therapy is a vital health care service that uses occupation as the basis for treatment of people of all ages with a wide variety of physical, developmental, and emotional disabilities. Occupations are everyday, purposeful activities that all people engage in as part of their daily routines.
What do occupational therapists do?
Occupational therapists help disabled people of all ages acquire or regain the skills they need to live independent, productive, and satisfying lives. They work in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, public and private schools, and home health agencies.
Occupational therapists are responsible for evaluating clients and developing treatment plans to assist clients in achieving their goals. They provide functional treatment activities for clients individually and in groups, and they choose or fabricate equipment that helps people function more independently. Occupational therapists supervise certified occupational therapy assistants in carrying out treatment plans and possess skills to work with a variety of allied health professionals. Money Magazine names the Occupational Therapist as one of 50 top jobs. For more information please see the AOTA press release (PDF).
Graduate Program Information
A graduate degree in occupational therapy includes coursework focusing on theoretical constructs and their application to clinical practice, research competencies, and professional leadership skills. The occupational therapy program requires six to nine months of full-time (usually 40 hours per week) internships in a variety of health care settings. Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from clinical facilities as well as any other costs associated with clinical placements.
To ensure continuity of application of academic concepts, all fieldwork must be completed within 24 months following academic preparation and 2 months prior to the NBCOT Certification Examination date.
The Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) Program has been accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), located at 4720 Montgomery Lane, Suite 200, Bethesda, MD 20814-3449. ACOTE's phone number c/o AOTA is (301) 652-AOTA and its web address is ACOTEonline.org.
Graduates are able to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapist administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy, Inc. (NBCOT), located at One Bank Street, Suite 300, Gaithersburg, MD 20878. NBCOT sets its own criteria for taking the exam, which may include questions on the applicant's criminal history. A felony conviction may affect a graduate's ability to sit for the NBCOT Certification examination or attain state licensure.
For more information on these limitations, you can contact NBCOT at (301) 990-7979. After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR). Most states require licensure in order to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT Certification Examination.

Lifespa Tranquility Face & Body Ritual
90 minutes - £95.00
Rest mind body and soul.
This full body and face massage focusses on muscular tension and stress as uniquely combined textures, scent and touch render deep relaxation and a profound sense of well-being.
Contraindications that PREVENT or RESTRICT for massage:
- Fever: When you have a fever, your body is trying to isolate and expel an invader of some kind. Massage increases overall circulation and could therefore work against your body's natural defenses.
- Inflammation: Massage can further irritate an area of inflammation, so you should not administer it. Inflamed conditions include anything that ends in –itis, such as phlebitis (inflammation of a vein), dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), arthritis (inflammation of the joints), and so on. In the case of localized problems, you can still massage around them, however, avoiding the inflammation itself.
- High blood pressure: High blood pressure means excessive pressure against blood vessel walls. Massage affects the blood vessels, and so people with high blood pressure or a heart condition should receive light, sedating massages, if at all.
- Infectious diseases: Massage is not a good idea for someone coming down with the flu or diphtheria, for example, and to make matters worse, you expose yourself to the virus as well.
- Hernia: Hernias are protrusions of part of an organ (such as the intestines) through a muscular wall. It's not a good idea to try to push these organs back inside. Surgery works better.
- Osteoporosis: Elderly people with a severe stoop to the shoulders often have this condition, in which bones become porous, brittle, and fragile. Massage may be too intense for this condition.
- Varicose veins: Massage directly over varicose veins can worsen the problem. However, if you apply a very light massage next to the problem, always in a direction toward the heart, it can be very beneficial.
- Broken bones: A little light massage to the surrounding areas, though, can improve circulation and be quite helpful.
- Skin problems: You should avoid anything that looks like it shouldn't be there, such as rashes, wounds, bruises, burns, boils, and blisters, for example. Usually these problems are local, so you can still massage in other areas.
- Cancer: Cancer can spread through the lymphatic system, and because massage increases lymphatic circulation, it may potentially spread the disease as well. Simple, caring touch is fine, but massage strokes that stimulate circulation are not. Always check with a doctor first.
- Other conditions and diseases: Diabetes, asthma, and other serious conditions each has its own precautions, and you should seek a doctor's opinion before administering massage.
- HIV infection: Some people still think of AIDS as something that can be "caught" through simple skin- to-skin contact, but is not the case not the case. If there is no exchange of bodily fluids (blood, semen, vaginal fluids, or mother's milk), HIV can't be transmitted during massage. So, HIV infection is not contraindicated for this reason. However, some of the infections that people suffering from the later stages of AIDS experience are contraindicated, and you should avoid those infections. Loving, soothing contact is extremely important for people at any stage of infection, but in the case of any visible rashes, sores, lesions, or swelling, massage is best left to a professional. If you have any cuts or scrapes or scratches on your hands, it's an especially good idea to wear thin surgical gloves while massaging an HIV-infected person with any signs of open lesions.

text: New York, October 11, 2011 - An official of the Gambian government publicly indicated knowledge of the whereabouts of missing journalist Ebrima "Chief" Manneh, according to news reports. The government, which has repeatedly denied any involvement in Manneh's 2006 disappearance, must immediately disclose the details of his status, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. In an interview on Thursday with the local Daily News, the Gambia's justice minister, Edward Gomez, denied Manneh was in state custody but declared: "I can tell you that Ebrima Chief Manneh is alive," without elaborating. In another interview on Monday with Agence France-Presse, Gomez said: "Chief Ebrima Manneh is alive and we will talk about this case later."In March, President Yahya Jammeh referenced the death of Manneh, who was picked up by state security agents at the offices of his newspaper, Daily Observer, in July 2006, though he continued to deny that the government was involved in his disappearance. Last month, Gambian Vice-President Isatou Njie-Saidy also denied that the government arrested Manneh and said she had no knowledge of his whereabouts. "The public comments by Gambian Justice Minister Edward Gomez on the fate of Ebrima 'Chief' Manneh are a step toward finally breaking the official silence on his case," said CPJ Africa Advocacy Coordinator Mohamed Keita. "The minister should immediately relieve the anguish endured by Manneh's family and colleagues by revealing his knowledge of the journalist's whereabouts, health and legal status."Manneh was sighted in government custody in December 2006 and in July 2007, according to CPJ research. Agence France-Presse quoted an unnamed police official in 2009 as saying that Manneh had last been sighted at Mile 2 prison in 2008 and speculating that he was no longer alive.The Gambia has resisted international appeals to free Manneh by, among others, six U.S. senators, UNESCO, and the Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States.

Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut Quartet starring a host of top British acting talent has been released in the UK.
The film, which stars Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Pauline Collins, Michael Gambon and Sheridan Smith, is based upon the 1999 play of the same name by Roland Harwood.
It follows the story of retired opera singers who annually put on a concert to celebrate Giuseppe Verdi's birthday. The group aim to perform the famous 'Bella figlia dell'amore' quartet from Rigoletto.
According to Billy Connolly who plays Wilf, the film is about staying young. He told BBC News: "I like asking people what age they think they are - some of them are 28, and 34, and some are 40. Stay there! That's when you were happy and healthy. Stay there and it'll do you good. It'll feed you and keep you alive."
"Dying is easy. You just lie down, but staying alive is quite difficult - you have to stay interested and stay in touch with everything."
Director Dustin Hoffman says the film is about people in their "third act" and, alongside his household name leads, cast a group of real-life elderly performers in supporting roles to give the film authenticity: "For these people the phone hadn't rung for 20, 30 or 40 years, even though they can deliver, he said. "These people in their 70s, 80s and 90s came with such verve every day - and that in itself made this an extraordinarily special occasion for all of us."
Education charity Damaris have created a number of resources exploring the social and cultural issues raised by the film.
The principal actors took vocal lessons for their roles, with Connolly commenting on BBC Breakfast that their director was visibly moved when he saw their first performance.
Watch the trailer:
Quartet is in cinemas internationally. Cinema-going opera fans may also be interested in our as-live relay of La bohème to venues around the world on 15 January.

Awe-Inspiring DocumentaryThis was so fasinating. Have watched it many times, and still find it hard, to believe, just how much "creative tension" existed while making AB. AB, of course is U2's most brilliant work. IMO. There isn't a day that goes by with this on full-BLAST, on the ipod.

First-class passengers on American Airlines will say good-bye to the carrier's old entertainment system and instead embrace Android tablet computers.
Samsung Mobile announced the decision Monday, saying the airline would deploy 6,000 Galaxy Tab 10.1 computers on a few flights later this year. "Through our agreement with Samsung, American is the first North American airline to offer a branded tablet on board its aircraft," said Virasb Vahidi, American's chief commercial officer.
The tablets will be in premium cabins on transcontinental flights between New York and Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco, Miami and Los Angeles, Boston to Los Angeles and international flights to and from Europe and South America.
U.S. & World
We can't say we're surprised that Samsung is the company paired with a major airline. It's been active in pursuing business and enterprise opportunities, and becoming part of thousands of high-end customers' lives for a few hours is some of the best advertising and marketing they can receive.
The announcement also couldn't have come at a better time. Right now the Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi edition is available only at the Best Buy Union Square location in New York, but starting Friday it will be available nationwide.
Press only a few days before the new Galaxy Tab has a wide release? Do you think that's a coincidence?

Habanero 1lb Powder
Once known as the hottest chile in the world, the habanero chile ranks in at 150,000-300,000 Scoville Heat Units. While it may have lost the title, habanero chiles are still the hottest commercially available chile with the most distinctive flavor profile. At The Chile Guy, we have selected the type grown in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico because of its heat, flavor, and relative cost. This fiery hot chile powder, used in moderation, adds a particularly spicy kick and a lovely red-orange color to any salsa, sauce, or molé. Though very well known for its heat, the habanero chile is also an extremely flavorful chile. A floral-fruity beginning followed by the powerful heat that some find intimidating. The Chile Guy offers habanero chile powder with the heat, flavor, and color you can use for any application.
Country. Mexico. One of the hottest commercially available chile powders, our Habanero chile ranks between 150,000 to 300,000 Scoville Heat Units. We source our habanero from the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, providing a balance of affordable price and depth of heat and flavor. Yucatan sourced, Heat 10, Flavor unique, reminds me of spicy oranges.

From X-bit Labs: After not finding an investor eager to acquire the whole company, Qimonda AG has appointed several companies to sell 300mm production equipment from the firm's manufacturing facilities in Germany and the USA. This may easily mean that the company does not have hope to start its production operations again.
The insolvency administration appointed Macquarie Electronics to resell select 300mm manufacturing equipment from its Dresden, Germany, fabrication facility. In addition, the bankrupt maker of dynamic random access memory has appointed Colliers International, Emerald Technology Valuations LLC and Gordon Brothers to assist it in the sale of its Richmond facility in Sandston, Virginia, reports EETimes web-site.
In fact, some of Qimonda's holdings have already been sold, among them the Dresden photomask center. With partly absent equipment, it is hardly possible that Qimonda's facility in Germany will ever start operating again.
Qimonda filed for insolvency on the 23rd of January, 2009. The insolvency administration was trying to find investors who would acquire the larger part of the company's European operations with some help from German and Portuguese governments.

I am dual booting Arch Linux with Win7. After the installation of Arch (Nov 2013 release) and the mandatory reboot, the system will not connect to the wired network. There were no issues related to the network during the installation process (Installed from a USB key). This happened only after the reboot.
When I tried to ping my modem, I got the following message:
Connect: Network is unreachable.
In my systemctl list-unit-files, I could see that dhcpcd.service and dhcpcd@.service are enabled.
'lspci -v' is showing the correct Ethernet (Realtek) and also mentions the following.
Kernel driver in use : r8169
Kernel module: r8169
I got the identification name of the Ethernet as enp6s0 from the command 'ip link'
As per dmesg, the kernel module is also loaded.
dmesg | grep Ethernet
r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded
Then I created a wired network profile using netctl and enabled the profile
systemctl enable netctl@profile_name.service
Rebooted the system. But, this did not work. Still no network.
Next I enabled the ifplugd service
systemctl enable netctl-ifplugd@.service
This also did not work.
I am not sure whether I am in the right path of debugging the issue. However, I have tried all that I know.
All help will be greatly appreciated.
NB: The wired network in the other OS, Win7, is working properly once I rebooted the modem.

if you enabled netctl system wide like it says in the wiki you need to disable that first. If you're running gnome or a variant it will want to control the network through network-manager
Don't scab for the bosses Don't listen to their lies Poor folks ain't got a chance Unless they organize --Florence Reece
I could not install any WM or DE. I am actually stuck at the "Post installation" section in the Beginner's guide. I am not able to install any packages since the network is not functional.
I tried creating a profile using netctl and enabled it, as using dhcpcd did not work for me.
The thing is if you follow the wiki it will tell you to enable dhcpcd services system wide. systemctl enable dhcpcd.service once the install is done and your booted into your system not arch-chroot that command messes things up. systemctl disable dhcpcd.service will stop the over arching dhcpcd init and then you can specify email@example.com. Right now you have two services trying to control one NIC and it doesn't work. If you use a gnome DE you're going to turn netctl off again and let gnome's network-manager deal with networks.
The only reason I chimed in on this and is seems unnuanced and uneducated is because I've installed and borked 25 Arch installs in the last 10 weeks and this was one of my first problems I'm about a month and I've managed to fix this install when borked because I've installed so many times in the past.
I'm sure smart people will come in and point out my errors but this is my experience.
my personal advise is don't auto start your display manager for a bit, let it dump you into a shell so you can fix stuff without booting to a separate media
Don't scab for the bosses Don't listen to their lies Poor folks ain't got a chance Unless they organize --Florence Reece
Thanks for the replay GermanyChris. I tried as per your suggestion. I disabled all the services related to network in my machine. ie dhcpcd, dhcpcd@, netctl@ etc. Then I enabled only dhcpcd@device_name.service.
systemctl enable email@example.com
This also did not work for me. I rebooted my machine and still no network.
NB: I am not in arch-root. I have the base system only with a command line interface. No X11, alsa or DE. I am not able to connect to internet for further installation.
Did you try manually connect to the network? Make sure everything related to network management is stopped/disabled and:
# ip link set <your interface name> up
# dhcpcd
What's the output of the above?
@skualito: Manually connecting to the network didn't work either.
But, I had some progress recently.
I guess the problem was due to Dynamic IP configuration. But I do not know why. So I gave a Static IP address.
# ip link set enp6s0 up
# ip addr add 192.168.*.*/24 dev enp6s0
# ip route add default via 192.168.*.1
Now I am able to ping to my modem at 192.168.*.1.
But could not ping to www.google.com.
Still I could ping to 126.96.36.199
Any suggestions?
Also I do not know why Dynamic IP is not working for me. I am using a private network.
NB: I thought of reinstalling Arch. I once again booted from the install media (USB) as I did earlier. But, this time there was no network. And the command dhcpcd failed to connect to the modem.
Your dns seems not fonctionnal, what is the output of
cat /etc/resolv.conf
To use dynamic ip you are supposed to have a dhcp server on your local network. is it the case ?

@GloW_on_dub: resolv.conf was empty and dhcpcd was not running. What should I do here?
I found the real cause of this problem. It has something to do with the Realtek NIC. It seems Windows automatically switches of the device during shutdown. And Arch is not able to make it up by itself.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … OL_problem
I am trying to fix this issue according to the wiki page above. But, most of the mentioned workarounds doesn't work as expected. Still trying.
By providing a Static IP after enabling the Ethernet device (as mentioned in my earlier post), I think I can solve this issue. I might have to preform all these procedures every time I boot into Arch. Probably a small script might help. I guess I will have to live this way until an official fix is provided.
However, I do not know how to make DNS functional. I require some help here.
Thank you all.
if resolv.cont is empty then add:
nameserver 18.104.22.168
or change 220.127.116.11 to any of the other public dns systems

I don't think the realtek nic is the problem, since you have been able to use your interface with static ip.
To use Dynamic IP you need a DHCP server running on your local network, it is not your computer but usually a proxy.
if you have not such device and only a modem, dynamic ip cannot work.
To configure your dns, add the following line in your /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 188.8.131.52
nameserver 18.104.22.168
then you should be able to ping www.google.com
Going by the Arch wiki page on Network Configuration, I noticed that once I log on to Windows and then reboot to Arch, I will not be having a Network connection in Arch. I have no way to say whether my NIC is functional or not in Arch as the link lights doesn't glow, even in Windows. But the device works properly in Windows.
In order to test in Arch, during POST I made the system boot from the Network. I guessed that this will make my NIC on. After waiting for some time, I rebooted into Arch and checked the network. Now I have a perfectly working network available with a Dynamic IP configuration. The dhcpcd.service is running and I am able to ping to www.google.com and others. But, when I reboot and log in back to Windows, there will be no network. I will have to restart my modem to fix this problem in Windows. I suspect some hardware related issue here.
Once I log out from Windows and boot into Arch I will have to do the following step to make my NIC up.
# ip link set enp6s0 up
Command dhcpcd after this step did not get me a network connection. I have the dhcpcd.service running at this time.
Next I did the following.
# ip addr add 192.168.*.*/24 dev enp6s0
# ip route add default via 192.168.*.1
Now I was able to ping to my modem with a Static IP. But, I was not able to ping to Google or so.
Thanks to t0m5k1 and GloW_on_dub, I had some progress in this. I was able to ping Google after adding 'nameserver' in /etc/resolve.conf. However, after a few minutes ping returned the message "Unknown host". I noticed that my /etc/resolv.conf has become empty again (only a comment is present, as earlier). Even if I add nameserver again in resolv.conf it will disappear in a matter of few minutes (less than 10 minutes) and I will be without DNS. Any ideas? I was keeping my NIC idle for these 10 minutes, and I have to see whether this is causing the resolv.conf to go empty. I will keep NIC busy for more than 10 minutes and see the developments.
Also I have the dhcpcd.service still running in Static IP mode. If I disable dhcpcd.service, will it fix the issue with resolv.conf?
systemctl disable firstname.lastname@example.com
Ok. I disabled dhcpcd with
systemctl disable dhcpcd.service
There was no dhcpcd@.service running in my machine.
Then I enabled the NIC, configured the IP and gateway. Added name server in /etc/resolv.conf.
Again, resolv.conf became empty after a few minutes (approximately 5 minutes). I was using the internet at this time to install some packages. When I tried to download another set of packages, it returned errors. I noticed that content in resolv.conf has disappeared. I can say that my NIC was not that much idle when this happened.
Maybe its time to post ip link

OK so you're Wifi is down and ether is up since you don't have connection it's not auto populating you're resolv .conf
so make sure that you don't have to things trying to control your network i.e. networkmanager or connman didn't get installed
enter the i.p address of your router in your resolv.conf as a nameserver
ASPM stands for active service power management, that can be controlled either by your bios or your OS so check your bios settings...
Random thought; is this computer new enough to have UEFI and Secure boot? If is does I wonder if you problem lies in that cluster. I'd be inclined to pop a different HDD in do a quick install and see if the problem goes away.
Don't scab for the bosses Don't listen to their lies Poor folks ain't got a chance Unless they organize --Florence Reece
I am using Dell XPX L502X laptop with legacy BIOS. I have updated BIOS and the version is Dell Inc. A12.
This BIOS does not have an option to control ASPM or wake up the NIC during POST.
So my best guess is, once Windows switches off the NIC during shutdown, Arch is not able to make it up by itself.
I have not installed any WM or DE and I am sure I do not have networkmanager or something like that running.
I have installed r8168 driver from AUR and blacklisted the default driver r8169. I read some where in google that this is worth a try. But, this also did not work for me.
If I could find out who deletes my resolv.conf, I may be able to fix the problem temporarily.
systemctl show two enabled units in my machine - getty@.service and remote-fs.target. It also shows that I have netctl@.service with a status of 'static'. What does it mean? Can it in any affect my network?
Hey try this on your file and see if it is working ? after editing with your dns
sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
do same to each file that change automatically

I was away from my machine for quite some time. So I could not try and update anything.
Today something surprising happened. I enabled the NIC, added the ip address and filled resolv.conf with a nameserver. I was expecting it to go empty after some time, but it did not. I do not remember doing anything special for this. But, I had changed the NIC driver from r8169 to r8168. I had seen resolv.conf going empty with r8168 even after one reboot, but I never tried to reboot the machine once again. Probably the change in the driver is fixing the problem temporarily. I will confirm this once I revert back to r8169.
Thanks all.
Ok. I got a solution for this problem. At least, it solves my case.
It is NOT the change in the NIC driver (from r8169 to r8168) that is fixing the problem. In fact there is not need to change the driver.
I reinstalled Arch from beginning to test this and this is the procedure I followed.
After installation, I had my dhcpcd@.service running in my machine.
# systemctl enable firstname.lastname@example.com
Of course, I was not getting any network connection. All I was getting is the message "Network unreachable".
Then I configured a static IP.
# ip link set enp6s0
# ip addr add 192.168.*.8/24 dev enp6s0
# ip route add default via 192.168.*.1
At this point, I was be able to ping to my modem at 192.168.*.1. Next, I added a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf. Now I could ping to domains. However, resolv.conf becomes empty after a while. So I did this before it goes empty.
# dhcpcd enp6s0
Now, my NIC got configured in dynamic IP mode with IP 192.168.*.13. I noticed that my resolv.conf doesn't go empty at all. And after a reboot, I get the network connection out of the box. I don't have to configure the IP manually. It is up and running by itself. But the IP is always 192.168.*.13.
After that step, one more line got added to my resolv.conf.
domain local.lan
nameserver 184.108.40.206
Earlier (when I had to manually do IP configuration) whenever I rebooted from Arch to Windows7 with a network running in Arch, I will have to restart my modem to get a network connection in Windows. That also seems solved now.
I do not know how this procedure fixed my case. Probably someone here can give an explanation.
Thank you all. I hope I can mark this post as 'solved' now.
Now, there is only this small issue left to fix. If my modem is not ON by the time I boot into Arch, I will not have any network. But, I think I can live with that

Beginning on January 1, 2021, the CA DOJ will designate tier levels for registrants. For more information see CASOMB's FAQ.
The California Sex Offender Management Board shares its first educational video produced to provide an overview on sex offender management practices in California.
The vision of the California Sex Offender Management Board (CASOMB) is to decrease sexual victimization and increase community safety.
The vision will be accomplished by addressing issues, concerns and problems related to community management of adult sex offenders by identifying and developing recommendations to improve policies and practices.
On September 20, 2006, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 1015, which created the California Sex Offender Management Board (CASOMB). The bill had been introduced by Assembly Members Judy Chu and Todd Spitzer and passed the California Legislature with nearly unanimous bipartisan support.
Because California is the most populated state in the Union and has had lifetime registration for its convicted sex offenders since 1947, California has more registered sex offenders than any other state with about 88,000 identified sex offenders (per Department of Justice, August 2007). Currently, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) supervises about 10,000 of those 88,000 sex offenders, of which about 3,200 have been designated as High Risk Sex Offenders (CDCR Housing Summit, March 2007). Additionally, there are about 22,500 adult sex offenders serving time in one of 32 state prisons operated by CDCR (California Sex Offender Management Task Force Report, July 2007).
While it is commonly believed that most sexual assaults are committed by strangers, the research suggests that the overwhelming majority of sex offenders victimize people known to them; approximately 90 percent of child victims know their offenders, as do 80 percent of adult victims [per Kilpatrick, D.G., Edmunds, C.N., & Seymour, A.K. (1992) Rape in America: A Report to the Nation. Arlington, VA: National Victim Center].

The printing industry reproduces text and image, typically with ink on plastic or paper using a printing device. It is often carried out as either a small-scale, or large-scale industrial process, and is an essential part of publishing and transaction printing. Plastics provide formats for printing as well as facilitate the production process.
Advantages of plastics
The advantages of plastics in the Printing industry are numerous. Plastics are much lighter than metal, which equate to better fuel economy and cheaper to manufacture parts. Additionally, the lighter weight aids in safer material handling. Plastics can be designed to be impact and dent resistant, and modified for improved strength. Corrosion resistance, color and texture flexibility, the economical components and aesthetics are other advantages of plastics.
Materials Utilized Within Industry
Printed media for digital print and screen printing include materials such as PVC Foam, Foamboard, Acrylic, PETG, Polycarbonate, BioBoard and Fluted Polypropylene.
Adhesives Used with Dibond® Material
One of the display features in great demand is the ability to attach Dibond® material to a substrate without having exposed fasteners. The vast majority of this type connection is done using adhesives.
Die Cutting GatorLite® Material
GatorLite® in the 3/16" thickness can be Die Cut. However, it may also be cut satisfactorily with hand tools or other specialty tools.
Die Cutting Fome-Cor® Material
One of the most common applications for the Fome-Cor® products is die cutting.
Die Cutting Foam-X Recovery Material
One of the most common applications for the Foam-X® Recovery product is die cutting.
Cast Acrylic (Polymethyl methacrylate or PMMA)
Cell cast acrylic is a lightweight, flexible and impact resistant substitute for glass. It has better optical quality and better physical properties than extruded acrylic.
Post Paint Compatibility of Dibond®
On many projects that involve Dibond® material, a small quantity of "custom color" panels is often required. It is often not practical to obtain the "custom color" from the factory and post painting is necessary.
Fire Characteristics of Dibond Material
It is necessary to know the fire characteristics of materials when they are used in applications where there may be stringent rules on how the materials behave when exposed to sources of combustion.
Screen-Print Ink Compatibility of Dibond®
Screen-print Dibond® signage and displays with recommended inks. Consult with the ink manufacturer if there are any questions regarding the use of a particular ink.
Screen-Print Ink Compatibility with Fome-Cor®, JetMount® and Foam-X® Recovery
Foam Boards with white clay coated liners, manufactured by 3A Composites, are often screen printed when used in the signage and display industry.
Painting Fome-Cor®, Jet-Mount®, and Foam-X® Recovery
Fome-Cor® products may be painted utilizing many commercially available coatings. It is advisable to pretest before committing to a production run.

A commission spokesperson said:
"The Government's email and web monitoring plans would potentially be incompatible with the right to privacy of many ordinary people in the UK.
"The Commission's own research last year into information privacy concluded that there was a lack of proper regulatory oversight and too much conflicting legislation, all of which fails to provide adequate protection for citizens and their private information.
"We found that the way the government and its agencies collect, use and store personal data is not respecting people s right to privacy. However, because of the complexity of the current laws, obligations are unclear and authorities may be unaware they are breaking the law.
"These issues need properly addressing rather than introducing new proposals which further reduce people's rights to privacy."

You know the drill by now: Once a week or so, I tell you that if you need a place to gossip about shiny gadgets or have some off-topic talk with fellow Gizmodo readers you should head to #whitenoise and join the conversation.
But let's do something different this week. Let's go to #whitenoise and tell each other jokes.
As incentive, if you use the #latenighthaha tag I might even give you a star—if you made a really good joke that is. Anyway, have fun and don't get too naughty with the humor. I'll check back and star a few folks in the morning.
Oh, and if you're still not sure on how tags work in comments, there's a guide here.

The 10th anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon arrives a week from Sunday — I don't think I need to tell you the date — and as might be expected, television is all over it. Our decimal culture encourages comment, celebration or reflection whenever 10 years go by, but there is something about this anniversary that makes it practically inescapable. It is especially inescapable, one might say, now that the death of Osama bin Laden and the upcoming dedication of a memorial that transforms the footprint of the missing Twin Towers into inverted fountains have brought the narrative that began Sept. 11, 2001, to something like a close — though there are volumes left to be written.
It's been suggested that this year's glut of 9/11 specials (thickened with repeats from earlier years and anniversaries) risks trivializing a time of unspeakable tragedy, of exploiting the moment as much as honoring it (a fine line the media walk most days). Of course, the trivialization of 9/11 can be said to have begun on the very morning of Sept. 11, as reality was quickly framed with special graphics and music and the conjectural chatter of time-filling talking heads; television brings everything down to its level. Yet to the extent that the nation and the world became one, for those few days, it was through the window of a TV screen.
And on its 10th anniversary, it is once again a story that any network whose business is even partially news or history cannot afford to ignore — there will be special editions of most major network news and morning shows, at least three of which are partially titled "America Remembers." But for all the many programs offered, it is only a glut if you set out to watch them all, which no reasonable person would; you can watch airliners fly into buildings only so many times before you are only punishing yourself or the pictures lose their meaning. We will choose from this oversized menu just as many items as we think we need, or can stand.
It's true that in looking for a fresh angle, some networks may have stretched the often overlapping material thin. There is no arguing, theoretically, with NBC's "Children of 9/11" (premieres Monday) or CNN's "Beyond Bravery: The Women of 9/11" (Thursday). or even OWN's "Twins of the Twin Towers" (acquired from BBC Wales), about twins who lost their counterparts in the Twin Towers (Sept. 11). In spite of its disaster-movie re-creations, TLC's "9/11: Heroes of the 88th Floor" (Sunday) does tell an impressive story of almost matter-of-fact personal sacrifice. Fox News' "Freedom Rising" with Shepard Smith (Sept. 11) finds that network's most reasonable man reporting on the rebirth of the World Trade Center and the 9/11 memorial and museum. "Nova: Engineering Ground Zero" (Wednesday, KOCE) covers much the same ground, with more science and better photography.
But further from ground zero, we find a Showtime documentary on Paul McCartney preparing for the benefit Concert for New York ("The Love We Make," Sept.10); Biography's paranormal "Beyond: Messages of 9/11" (Sept. 10); Animal Planet's "Saved" (Wednesday), about pets helping affected families cope; "When Pop Culture Saved America: A 9/11 Story" (Biography, Monday, about singers doing similar service; and "The Suze Orman Show: Money Lessons of 9/11 (CNBC, Sept. 10).
On the other hand, the sense of occasion that 10 elapsed years creates has brought some big fish to the pool. Former President George W. Bush sits for National Geographic Channel's "George W. Bush: The 9/11 interview." (Already premiered, it will be re-shown Saturday, Sunday and Sept. 11, as will "Giuliani's 9/11," the network's interview with the then-mayor of New York City.) Top-level decision-makers, including then-Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Rudy Giuliani and heads of emergency services and the Federal Aviation Administration, and a host of firsthand witnesses to their work appear in the Smithsonian Channel's "9/11: Day That Changed the World" (Monday), which feels more than usually fresh and revealing, given how often, and for how many years, the ground has been covered.
Though the tone of these programs is largely elegiac or inspirational, a few detail the work that remains to be done — or undone. PBS' "Frontline: Top Secret America" (KOCE, Tuesday), about the unchecked growth in clandestine operations in the wake of 9/11. CNN's "Dr. Sanjay Gupta Reports: Terror in the Dust," Wednesday and Sept. 10) on the health of the much-afflicted, often-neglected first responders.
If I were going to recommend only one of these programs, of the more than several I've seen — and it may not be a bad idea to watch only one — it is History Channel's "9/11: The Days After" (Friday). A sequel to the 2008 "102 Minutes That Changed America" (which will be rebroadcast on Biography, A&E, History and Lifetime on Sept. 11), it begins in the immediate aftermath of the collapse of the Twin Towers. Assembled mostly from home video and B-roll news footage, it proceeds without narration or talking heads. What would usually be considered mistakes — false starts, wild shots, random chatter — are left in for immediacy. It is a construction, unavoidably, but one that does not tell you what to think or how to feel — there is a quiet score, which helps knit the pieces without unduly coloring it — and puts you, as much as possible, into the place and time. As such it is hard to watch, and impossible to turn off.

California lawmakers and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger are betting the state can generate billions from the sale of state office buildings to help fill the $19 billion budget deficit.
On Monday, the state announced it is selling 24 government office buildings - including the Ronald Reagan State Building in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Civic Center - to a private investment group for $2.3 billion according to CNBC.
The buyers are California First LLC, a partnership led by a Texas real estate firm and an Orange County private equity firm, according to the financial website.
At least two reports have said taxpayers will pay more over the long run than the state will net.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The Associated Press reported earlier this year that the deal would end up costing the state $5.2 billion in rent over 20 years, perhaps saddling taxpayers with costs beyond whatever the state would net from the sale. Three of the properties already are paid off, while four others were expected to be paid off in the next five years.
The nonpartisan legislative analyst's office also warned that selling the properties then renting back the space could cost the state an additional $1.5 billion, based on a 35-year projection. And a study by Beacon Economics reached a similar conclusion by looking at a 30-year period.
That study was commissioned by the Service Employees International Union Local 1000, the largest state employee union.
While the legislature will have 30 days to review the sale, lawmakers will not get the final say because proposed oversight legislation was killed in committee earlier this year.

Schroders Investment Weather Forecast: Global equity outlook finely balanced
The outlook for global equities in 2015 is finely balanced. While a strong US recovery and falling oil prices are supportive of global equity performance, concerns in Europe and emerging economies like Brazil may weigh on sentiment.
A US-led recovery
The positive for equities is that the US is leading the global recovery and the economy continues to power ahead. Economic data generally has been strong and that is expected to continue in 2015.
Oil price slump to aid consumption
For countries that are very dependent on oil like India, Indonesia and Japan, the fall in oil prices provides a significant boost to consumers and to companies operating within those countries.
European risks remain
The principal danger for global equities is the continued weakness in developed market economies like Europe. The region looks to be at real risk of deflation in 2015 and that would be negative for global equities overall.
Oil stripping Brazil of purchasing power
While the oil price trend is positive for some emerging market countries, it is negative for others such as Brazil, which is a big oil exporter and is suffering badly from the decline in energy prices.
While the recovery in the US is boosting investor optimism, the falling oil price is having both positive and negative impacts on emerging market economies. This, combined with concerns in Europe, could weigh on global equities overall in 2015.

Last night Carlos Acosta's new Royal Ballet production of Don Quixote was screened live across the world as part of our Live Cinema Season 2013/14. As part of the screening a series of backstage films were shown, featuring rehearsal footage and interviews with the cast and creative team. In case you missed them last night, or just want to find out more about Don Quixote, here they are again:
Members of the cast and creative team discuss Carlos Acosta's Don Quixote
Don Quixote is Carlos's first full length work for The Royal Ballet. Having danced the virtuoso role of Basilio many times, he brings his own unique vision to the story, offering a fresh, modern take on the 19th-century classic. With music by Ludwig Minkus and designs by Tim Hatley and Hugh Vanstone, the production is full of Spanish flair and atmosphere. Carlos created the lead roles with Marianela Nuñez, and both danced in the opening night gala performance.
An introduction to Act Two
In the second Act, Basilio and Kitri stumble onto a gypsy camp, where they join the gypsies strumming on guitars and dancing. Hear from Carlos about why he chose a very naturalistic setting, and from conductor Martin Yates about his inclusion of live flamenco music on stage.
An introduction to Act Three
By the third Act, all of the characters have ended up in a candlelit, shadowy tavern. With energetic pas de deux and dancing on tables, there is a raucous feel to the scene.
Read audience reactions to the live cinema screening from the 2013/14 Season.
Don Quixote runs 25 November 2014–22 January 2015. Tickets are still available.
The production is generously supported by the Friends of Covent Garden.


text: Friday, January 20, 2012 Audit Resources Now Available A new APTA Web resource can help PTs prepare for and successfully get through a Medicare claims audit. The Medicare Claims Audits Web page provides audit tools such as a form for conducting a self audit, an auditing entities chart, information on hiring an attorney, and a link to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' brochure on the appeal process. The page also links to APTA's Defensible Documentation resource; information on enrolling in Medicare; Medicare local coverage decisions; handling fraud and abuse media coverage; Medicare denials, audits, and appeals; and coding and billing information. Comments Very pleased to hear this resource is available. When our clinic when through an audit 4 years ago, there was no such help available. You need to have someone who has been through the experience to help guide you through the process. I have a feeling we will be hearing more and more of this.

CD Projekt's DRM-free classic computer game download service has secured several titles from French publisher Microids, including Mega Race, one of the premier showcase titles for CD Rom technology.
Originally developed by Cryo, who were purchased by Microids in 2008, MegaRace was one of the games that ushered in the age of the CD Rom. I remember working at a CompUSA around the time the game first came out, and I wouldn't let anyone leave the store with a shiny new CD drive without a copy of MegaRace. It was the 7th Guest of futuristic racing. Don't remember the game? Well now you can pick up it and MegaRace 2 in a bundle via GOG.com for only $5.99.
Other Microids titles heading to the service include Haegemonia: Legion of Iron with the Solon Heritage expansion and Obscure. Both relatively fine titles, but MegaRace is where the excitement lies here. I bet it's held up horribly over the years.

Giro Goggles
Oakley Ski Goggles
Quiksilver Goggles
Smith Ski Goggles
Spy Goggles
Vonzipper Goggles
Ski goggles can make or break your day on the slopes. Your eyes need protection from outside elements just as much as the rest of your body, and goggles provide that coverage. On the slopes, you're bound to encounter the intensity of the sun, cold, wind or snow, and even debris.
Here are some things to consider:
Cylindrical (Flat) Lenses are curved horizontally and are vertically flat. The field of view is slightly reduced, and glare cannot be absorbed as well. However, they are less expensive.
Spherical Lenses are curved both vertically and horizontally. They are more expensive but provide you with better peripheral vision, less optical distortion, and more space between your face and the goggles, which ultimately reduces fogging and allows for more airflow.
Polarized Lenses contain a special filter that significantly reduces glare and blocks intense light that reflects off of surfaces like snow and ice. They also enhance visual clarity and optical contrast.
Photochromatic Lenses automatically adjust their tint to the amount of light you encounter. However, they may take a few minutes to adjust. If you are skiing on a day with a frequent mix of sun and clouds, go with a multi-purpose lens color like Amber or Rose.
Mirrored Lenses have a reflective optical coating on the outside that decreases the amount of light passing through the tinted lens. This means that there will be less glare and more clarity in bright conditions.
Interchangeable Lenses are designed to give you optimal performance with quick-changing lens systems.
VLT – Visible Light transmission is the amount of light that passes through the lens and reaches your eyes. It is measured as a percentage, typically between 0% and 100%. The darker the lens, the lower the VLT percentage.
Ski goggle lenses come in dozens of colors and brands to choose from. Here are some very general rules to go by when trying to narrow it down:

In issue 1 of Inside History we brought you the story of the wonderful and unique female factory precinct at Parramatta in New South Wales.
The buildings in the precinct date back to 1819 and are an incredibly important part of Australia's heritage. It was in convict institutions such as these that the Australian spirit of mateship and comraderie, a sense of humour and standing up for the underdog were developed.
And if you think convict heritage is not part of your heritage, think again! It's estimated that one in seven Australians are descended from someone who went through the Parramatta Female Factory. That means you either are related, or you know someone who is.
It's incredible to believe, but these historic buildings are not on the national heritage list and thus protected, even though they predate other world heritage listed convict sites such as Port Arthur in Tasmania, and Sydney's Cockatoo Island.
On the state government-owned site at Parramatta are two Francis Greenway buildings, original walls dating back to 1819, and the third class sleeping quarters with turnkey's apartment, completed in 1825. All are in need of protection and conservation. One Greenway building is now a building society, and the matron's quarters, meeting and administration rooms are used for storage and training. The third class sleeping quarters and turnkey's apartment in recent years has been a storage facility for broken beds, then computers.
And right now the Parramatta Female Factory needs your help more than ever, especially the third-class quarters, known as Building 105.
Sydney Western Area Health Services have lodged an application with the NSW Heritage Office seeking approval for alterations to be made to this building for the purpose of housing internal computer equipment and cooling systems. The proposed changes to Building 105 will not only seriously damage the historical fabric of the structure, but it will also deny access by the public to this important building.
How you can help
Gay Hendriksen, from the Female Factory Precinct Action Group, is calling for people to lodge a complaint against the proposed work.
Post your concerns by the deadline of 5pm Friday December 17 to:
Heritage Council of New South Wales
Locked Bag 5020
Parramatta NSW 2124
Email them to email@example.com or email@example.com
You can also help by emailing your concerns to the NSW Premier, Kristina Keneally, at firstname.lastname@example.com and the State Minister for Health, Carmel Tebutt, at firstname.lastname@example.com
If you'd like to be involved in the campaign or would like more information, contact Gay by email at email@example.com
See why the site is so important: take a short tour of the factory by watching the video below.

Two weeks ago on a cross-country flight I checked three bags, and when I unpacked I found three printed memos from the Transportation Security Administration indicating that they'd each been searched.
Now, my bags contained nothing but used clothing, as a scan probably revealed, and I'm a Baby Boomer with no criminal past. So the traditional legal standard for police searches–probable cause–offers nothing to justify uniformed apparatchiks running their paws through my shirts, shorts, and undies. Apparently I was asleep when the Fourth Amendment was repealed.
I didn't boil my clothes afterward, but I have to say I'm irritated by this incursion into private space. Worse, I flash to the advice of Antonin Scalia, the Supreme Court associate justice, when he was asked a few years back about lingering anger over the disgraceful 2000 ruling he signed that gave the presidency to George W. Bush. "My usual response is, get over it," Scalia said.
Now, "getting over it" can be the voice of maturity, sympathetic words to console and encourage a child. But it can also counsel acceptance of the unacceptable. And there's entirely too much of that sort of "getting over it" going around.
Consider the refusal of the Obama administration to tell the public just what basis it uses in deciding whom to kill. That formulation is a little bald, but basically accurate. Lawsuits brought by the American Civil Liberties Union and The New York Times sought to force the administration to share its legal rationale for targeting and killing individuals targeted as enemies.
Included are U.S. citizens, notably U.S.-born Anwar al-Awlaki and his 16-year-old son, both killed in separate 2011 drone strikes in Yemen.
This is a big deal. Normally, when the government kills a citizen it's called capital punishment, and happens only after criminal indictment, trial, Continue reading "On getting over it"

Omaha, Neb., June 01, 2010 – Union Pacific Railroad will improve Nebraska's transportation infrastructure with a $5 million investment to improve the rail line that runs from Council Bluffs, Iowa, to Fremont, Neb.
Work on the more-than-33-mile stretch of railroad track began May 26 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of July.
The project includes removing and installing more than 25,000 ties, spreading nearly 20,000 tons of rock ballast reinforcing the roadbed and replacing 35 grade crossing surfaces.
Union Pacific plans to spend approximately $2.6 billion in 2010 to support America's current and future freight transportation needs and enhance the safety and efficiency of the railroad's 32,000-mile network. Improved and additional rail capacity benefits everyone. It allows freight rail service to grow, helping to build a cleaner environment. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, freight trains are nearly four times more fuel efficient than trucks. Motorists also benefit from reduced congestion on highways as a single Union Pacific train can remove up to 300 trucks off our roads.
About Union Pacific
Union Pacific Corporation owns one of America's leading transportation companies. Its principal operating company, Union Pacific Railroad, links 23 states in the western two-thirds of the country. Union Pacific serves many of the fastest-growing U.S. population centers and provides Americans with a fuel-efficient, environmentally responsible and safe mode of freight transportation. Union Pacific's diversified business mix includes Agricultural Products, Automotive, Chemicals, Energy, Industrial Products and Intermodal. The railroad emphasizes excellent customer service and offers competitive routes from all major West Coast and Gulf Coast ports to eastern gateways. Union Pacific connects with Canada's rail systems and is the only railroad serving all six major gateways to Mexico, making it North America's premier rail franchise.

ARM Announces SPIRIT Support For ARM RealView Tools With MaxSim Technology To Accelerate Time-To-Market For SoC Designers
SPIRIT support for the flow to implementation from ARM modeling enables greater flexibility and 'right-first-time' development for SoC designers
CAMBRIDGE, UK – June 13, 2005 – ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)] today announced at DAC (Design Automation Conference), in Anaheim, California, that its ARM® RealView® tools with MaxSim™ technology now supports SPIRIT (Structure for Packaging, Integrating and Re-using IP within Tool-flows), an industry standard for efficient integration of IP in SoC platform design. SPIRIT support enables system-on-chip (SoC) designers to effortlessly move designs between key stages in their design flow, providing greater design flexibility and accelerating time-to-market.
By supporting SPIRIT, ARM RealView tools simulation technology enables IP configuration and integration data to be expressed in a standard XML format. The advantage of SPIRIT support can only be realized when used with both an automated system integration or Electronic System Level (ESL) design tool, and a comprehensive and configurable IP library. By combining SPIRIT into ARM RealView tools simulation technology, and the AMBA® interface standards, ARM has created a powerful systems exploration and integration flow to take advantage of the SPIRIT standard.
"ARM's global presence as the leading IP and solutions provider gives significant momentum to the SPIRIT consortium," said Ralph von Vignau, chairman, SPIRIT consortium. "By creating SPIRIT support for their RealView ESL tools, ARM is endorsing the adoption of standards in SoC design which represents a major step forward in short time-to-market integration of complex system-on-chip solutions."
The ARM ESL technology offers an easy-to-use toolset for fast modeling, simulation and debugging of complex SoC designs. Through SPIRIT support, ARM RealView tools will enable ARM Partners to iterate between their system architecting environment, and their choice of RTL integration and configuration tool. This use of SPIRIT enables the customer to quickly integrate the advantages of ESL design into existing implementation tool flows.
The support of SPIRIT in ARM RealView tools is the first step towards full support of a SPIRIT-enabled AMBA profiling and integration methodology including ARM technology-certified IP. This flow will enable the creation of complex on-chip connectivity optimized to customer latency and throughput requirements, and fit to the customers' tooling requirements.
"SPIRIT exemplifies the value of technical collaboration. This standard will better enable ARM IP to be expressed in our EDA Partners' tool flows," said Chris Lennard, ESL technical marketing manager, ARM. "By enabling SPIRIT support in ARM RealView tools with MaxSim technology, we are providing a development platform to align with the needs of our customers' design flows and IP supply chains."
ARM MaxSim and MaxCore® technologies, and MaxLib™ model libraries are all part of the RealView ESL tools family. AMBA methodology is the leading bus interface protocol provided by ARM and adopted across the industry. RealView tools provide designers with the best solution for creating and analyzing systems based on ARM technology, and AMBA methodology provides the leading solutions for on-chip communications optimization and ease of IP block integration and verification.
ARM RealView tools with MaxSim technology including SPIRIT support is available to license today.
