After riffing on Paul Revere's ride during her bus tour last week--and making a couple of basic factual errors--Sarah Palin has responded by arguing that she got the facts right.
Paul Revere was "warning the British" that night, Palin says, refusing to admit that she just worded her riff badly.
(In general, the colonists who opposed the British were, in fact, "warning" the British that they weren't going to stand for the status quo.)
Sarah Palin's fans, meanwhile, have responded by trying to rewrite history, in this case on the Wikipedia page for Paul Revere.
Specifically, they've tried to add citations to support the idea that Revere "rang bells" on his ride. (He didn't).
Fortunately, Wikipedia editors have gotten involved, blocking some of these attempts (see below) (via Little Green Footballs).
Even Palin supporters seem unable to find support for her contention that what Revere was doing that night was "warning the British", though perhaps that argument took place in another forum.
UPDATE: Well, what do you know! According to some historians, Paul Revere was actually detained by the British that night and warned them that they were going to face some resistance from the colonists. So, technically, Sarah Palin was right (assuming these historians are right). Of course, that brief detention was obviously not what Palin was referring to.
Here's a discussion between Wikipedia editors and Palin fans in the Wikipedia forums:
In the article on Paul Revere, someone has added false information in an effort to support Sarah Palin's FALSE claims about Paul Revere.
"Accounts differ regarding the method of alerting the colonists; the generally accepted position is that the warnings were verbal in nature, although one disputed account suggested that Revere rang bells during his ride.[8][9]"
This must be removed as it is a LIE designed to mislead. dj

- A lie? If you follow Wikipedia's rules, we must maintain a WP:NEUTRAL position, representing the mainstream position as well as disputed versions. I think the addition represents this fairly -- the mainstream position is that Revere's warnings were verbal, but there are differing accounts that the warnings were done with bells -- with two sources: WDHD television plus a live interview, with a highly influential US politician relating these facts.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:50, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
- Done. Thank you, I removed the content not backed by a reliable source. --CutOffTies (talk) 14:52, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
- I kindly remind people that it's not our job here at Wikipedia to decide what's true, but to report what reliable sources say, such as the LA Times, WDHD TV in Boston, numerous others. And they quoted an American politician saying that bells were used. --Tomwsulcer (talk) 15:09, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
- Tomwsulcer - You should be kindly reminded that it's not your job to debase Sarah Palin's wiki page with (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sarah_Palin) your version of the occurrence for political reasons. The left leaning bias on Wiki is well known, but these types attacks are over the top. Mk 220.127.116.11 (talk) 20:08, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
- Sarah Palin is a former governor of Alaska as well as a presidential candidate of one of the two national parties in the United States. Her account of Paul Revere's famous ride has achieved national attention from most mainstream media -- LA Times, CNN, you name it. There are numerous reliable sources quoted her exact words on this subject. This article has HUGE attention (55K readers in one day) as a result. Clearly, there should be some mention given its obvious importance. And I remind people, kindly, that it's not up to us contributors to determine who is and isn't a "poorly informed view" and to try to determine truth. Rather, Wikipedia is about verifiability.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 15:37, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
- Here's Palin's remark via the LA Times & CNN: Sarah Palin on Paul Revere's ride
- It doesn't tell the reader looking for information on Paul Revere anything useful. Vice Presidential candidate, please. Hertz1888 (talk) 15:44, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with Hertz's edit, also please read wp:RECENT for yet another reason why this has no place here. --CutOffTies (talk) 16:16, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
- It doesn't tell the reader looking for information on Paul Revere anything useful. Vice Presidential candidate, please. Hertz1888 (talk) 15:44, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
- Here's Palin's remark via the LA Times & CNN: Sarah Palin on Paul Revere's ride
Paul Revere may have rang some bells on his ride, but does any mainstream historian believe that Paul Revere had any intent to warn or scare the British in any way? I have never heard this, except from Palin. All accounts I have read say that Revere and Dawes were trying their best to avoid being noticed by the British, who would likely capture them immediately if found. --Westwind273 (talk) 15:49, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
The Lexington church apparently was one which rang its bell. [[4]]. Is all this of any great import at all? Collect (talk) 21:18, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

CollabNet news this week points to a firm called Tech Mahindra, a company that has launched a new offering for enterprise software development teams called ADOPT (Agile DevOps Process Transformation), which is built on the CollabNet TeamForge framework.
ADOPT is intended for distributed Agile teams and incorporates Agile practices, Application Lifecycle Management, continuous integration, and delivery.
IDC's lifecycle guru Melinda Ballou says that effective governance "remains elusive" in this market. "Providing specific process template guidance and automation and support across phases is key to managing execution well with velocity and agility," she said.
ADOPT is an integrated software development and delivery solution that fosters an (take a deep breath now) "incrementally streamlined collaborative approach" to software development. So what on Earth does that mean?
According to the firms here, this is all about allowing distributed workgroups the freedom to choose the tools and processes that are most apt to the specific project needs.
CollabNet's APAC GM David Parker says that ADOPT provides integration of process and tools including service simulation, environment provisioning, and release automation.
ADOPT comes with option of multiple native integrated tools and an open architecture allowing integration with existing tools. ADOPT is offered through a predefined catalog of services, including: idea to task, task to package, and package to deployment.

Hey Oceans Mom, hope you're well. I just wondered how things went with your son...did he stop saying everything 'hit him?' I figure it's just a phase, so I'm hoping to hear things have resolved. Happy New Years!

Hi, Oceansmom!
I got an email from our customer service folks telling me you don't like our new look -- and just wanted to say that I hope to see you soon anyway! You're a big part of this community and I hope the new look is something you can get used to. We redesigned based on tons of member feedback about the site being too cluttered and hard to navigate -- but as with these things, we can't please everyone. Anyway, hope you're having a good week and see you soon on WIM!

Welcome oceans mom! It's so nice to meet you. That's amazing that you live so near the water. We're in the middle of the country, where it's cold, and there's not much chance to go to the beach. I look forward to getting to know you! I'm a moderator for Work it, Mom! if you ever have questions or comments, feel free to send them my way:).

The cloud PaaS market expands with the arrival of PHP on Engine Yard Cloud. Pledging a commitment to cloud-focused software application developers and DevOps practitioners, Engine Yard has also introduced support for Riak.
More Insights

ReportsMore >>
- How Secure is Your Azure Cloud Security Environment?
- Don't Miss this Dark Reading Virtual Event on Critical Data Breaches
NOTE: Riak is the distributed, highly available database from Basho. Riak uses a simple key/value model for object storage. Objects in Riak consist of a unique key and a value, stored in a flat namespace called a bucket. You can store anything you want in Riak: text, images, JSON/XML/HTML documents, user and session data, backups, log files, and more.
The Engine Yard Cloud software itself works to automate the configuration, deployment, and ongoing maintenance of an application platform in the cloud. The pledge to developers is the ability to focus on creating cloud applications without getting distracted by operations, servers, or other infrastructure.
"PHP has been a key part of our vision for a flexible application cloud," said Bill Platt, senior vice president of operations at Engine Yard.
As a "highly configurable" PaaS, Engine Yard says that its new offering gives PHP developers a wider range of instance sizes, a fully curated PHP stack, as well as automation and orchestration features such as database replication and failover.
"Whether deploying a simple Wordpress blog or an advanced MySQL-backed web application, developers get a range of control over configuration, deployment, and management of their application environments, including full root access on virtual servers and the flexibility of using custom Chef recipes to control and automate entire environments, regardless of size," said Platt.
Riak clusters are masterless, so they have no single point of failure, making them "ideal" for applications that require high availability. Riak can be used to store session data, ranking data, large quantities of rich media or unstructured data, as well as for managing user data for social and gaming networks.

Ascariasis is an intestinal infection caused by a parasitic roundworm. While globally it is the most common human infection caused by worms, ascariasis is rare in the United States. Most cases happen in areas with poor sanitation or crowded living conditions.
Kids are more likely than adults to develop gastrointestinal symptoms with an ascariasis infection because their smaller intestines are at greater risk for intestinal blockage. The greater the number of worms involved, the more severe the symptoms are likely to be.
Symptoms seen with mild infestation include:
More severe infestations can cause more serious signs and symptoms, including:
Ascariasis occurs when worm eggs of the parasite Ascaris lumbricoides (commonly found in soil and human feces) are swallowed. This can happen from contaminated food, drink, or soil. The roundworms range in size from 5.9 to 9.8 inches for adult males and 9.8 to 13.8 inches for adult females. The worms can grow to be as thick as a pencil and can live for 1 to 2 years.
Ascariasis is often found in developing countries with poor sanitary conditions or in areas where human stool is used as fertilizer. After the eggs are swallowed, they pass into the intestines, where they hatch into larvae. The larvae then begin to move through the body.
Once they get through the intestinal wall, the larvae travel from the liver to the lungs through the bloodstream. During this stage, pulmonary symptoms such as coughing (even coughing up worms) may occur. In the lungs, the larvae climb up through the bronchial tubes to the throat, where they are swallowed. The larvae then return to the small intestine where they grow, mature, mate, and lay eggs. The worms reach maturity about 2 months after an egg is ingested.
Adult worms live and remain in the small intestine. A female worm can produce up to 240,000 eggs in a day, which are then discharged into the feces and incubate in the soil for weeks. Children are particularly susceptible to ascariasis because they tend to put things in their mouths, including dirt, and they often have poorer hygiene habits than adults.
Ascariasis is common in warmer or tropical climates, particularly in developing nations, where it can affect large segments of the population. Ascariasis is rare in the United States, due to strict sanitation rules and regulations.
Ascariasis is not spread directly from one person to another. To become infected, an individual has to consume the worm's eggs.
The most important measure of protection against ascariasis is the safe and sanitary disposal of human waste. People living in areas of the world that use human feces as fertilizer must thoroughly cook all foods or clean them with a proper iodine solution (particularly fruits and vegetables).
Children who are adopted from developing nations are often screened for worms as a precautionary measure. Kids who live in underdeveloped areas of the world may be prescribed a preventive deworming medication.
These practices are recommended for all children:
Doctors usually prescribe antiparasitic medication to be taken orally to kill intestinal roundworms. Sometimes the stool will be re-examined about 3 weeks after treatment to check for eggs and worms. Symptoms usually disappear within 1 week of starting treatment.
Very rarely, surgical removal of the worms may be necessary (particularly in cases of intestinal or liver-related obstruction, or abdominal infection). A child who has ascariasis should be checked for other intestinal parasites, such as pinworm.
If your child has ascariasis, the medicine prescribed should be given as directed. To prevent reinfection:
If your child has any of the symptoms of ascariasis, contact your doctor right away. Stool samples will be sent to a laboratory to check for eggs and worms to confirm the diagnosis.
Call the doctor if symptoms do not improve with treatment or if new symptoms start.

Garden planters and pots can enhance residential architecture and landscapes in a variety of ways. A decorative planter will frame that special view, direct the flow of traffic, create and define boundaries or provide screening from the hot sun and prying eyes. Even use outdoor planters to add that one special flower or shrub that showcases your personal style and assigns distinction to your home.
Decorative planters have a powerful impact when placed around the front door, patio, porch, balcony and pool. The addition of outdoor planters and pots to these spaces, and any others in need of a boost, can transform your surroundings from bland to dramatic - uninviting to cozy. Warm your spaces and draw family and friends into them with the help of a decorative planter from Hooks and Lattice.
Before selecting a decorative planter, attention should be paid to the functional value as well as aesthetic appropriateness. Garden planters should be sturdy, have holes for drainage and should be sized for the intended plant or tree. Each outdoor and decorative planter we carry at Hooks and Lattice has been carefully selected to provide great design choices along with functionality, quality and value.
While browsing online, cruise our collection of Composite Premier Outdoor Planters made with Cellular PVC. The pride and joy of Hooks and Lattice outdoor planters, our dedicated craftsmen hand-make each of these Premier Composite garden planters from 4' x 8' sheets of solid architectural-grade PVC.

Kirk Siegler
As a correspondent on NPR's national desk, Kirk Siegler covers the urban-rural divide in America. A beat exploring the intersection between urban and rural life, culture, and politics, Siegler has recently brought listeners and readers to a timber town in Idaho that lost its last sawmill just days before the 2016 election, as well as to small rural towns in Nebraska where police are fighting an influx in recreational marijuana coming from nearby Colorado cities.
Based at NPR West's studios in Culver City, CA, but frequently roaming the country, Siegler's reporting has also focused on the far-reaching economic impacts of the drought in the West while explaining the broader, national significance to many of the region's complex and bitter disputes around land use. His assignments have brought listeners to the heart of anti-government standoffs in Oregon and Nevada, including a rare interview with recalcitrant rancher Cliven Bundy in 2014.
Siegler also contributes extensively to the network's breaking news coverage. In 2015, he was awarded an International Reporting Project fellowship from Johns Hopkins University to report on health and development in Nepal. While en route to the country in April, the worst magnitude earthquake to hit the region in more than 80 years struck. Siegler was one of the first foreign journalists to arrive in Kathmandu and helped lead NPR's coverage of the immediate aftermath of the deadly quake. He also filed in-depth reports focusing on the humanitarian disaster and challenges of bringing relief to some of the Nepal's far-flung rural villages.
Prior to joining NPR, Siegler spent seven years reporting from Colorado, where he became a familiar voice to NPR listeners reporting on politics, water, and the state's ski industry from Denver for NPR Member Station KUNC. He got his start in political reporting covering the Montana Legislature for Montana Public Radio.
Apart from a brief stint working as a waiter in Sydney, Australia, Siegler has spent most of his adult life living in the West. He grew up near Missoula, Montana, and received a journalism degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Boeing said Monday that it is set to move quickly to get its 787s back in the air if it gets federal approval for a fix for the batteries that have grounded the planes.
The Federal Aviation Administration is considering a plan that Boeing submitted on Feb. 22 for fixing the batteries. The FAA has said it expects its experts to recommend this week whether to accept the plan.
Ray Conner, who runs Boeing Co.'s commercial airplane unit, described the process to industry analysts at a J.P. Morgan aviation conference in New York.
The FAA certifies parts used on planes, and changes can prompt the need for a part's re-certification. The agency has to first certify Boeing's fix, then it has to approve testing for the fix, Conner said. Then Boeing will be able to install the fix on the 50 787s that have been delivered so far.
Once it gets FAA permission, "this will move really fast in terms of being able to get the airplanes back into the air," Conner said. "We are prepared, we are ready to go."
Conner didn't say how long he thought all that would take.
Boeing's fix has been described as a long-term solution aimed at making sure that short-circuiting in one battery cell can't spread to another.
The 787 has been grounded since Jan. 16 after one plane had a battery fire, and a smoking battery on another plane forced an emergency landing.
Deliveries of 787s are halted, but Boeing is still building them. It's making five per month now, and is moving to seven per month, on its way to 10 by a month by the end of the year. Boeing is still following its plan to speed up production.
"Obviously that could change if something were to go sideways with the FAA," Conner said.
Boeing has teams working on the speedup and some 200 engineers working on the battery fix.
"I'm kind of working both at this point in time," Conner said. "That's why I only live on four hours of sleep a night."
Boeing is about to begin building the 787-9, a longer version of the plane it makes now, with more seats.
And it has been tentatively planning to make a longer-still 787-10 if there's enough interest.
"Clearly having the fleet down right now has slowed things down a bit," Conner said, referring to the 787-10. "I think we would have been in much better shape from having people cross the finish line" if not for the battery problem. He said, however, he thinks interest is strong enough that Boeing will soon be able to commit to build the plane.
Chicago-based Boeing's stock fell 19 cents to $77.09.

TestArchitect Professional is billed as an "economical test automation solution" for desktop and mobile testing that includes name refactoring and just-in-time compilation.
NOTE: Name refactoring reduces the amount of time required for test case maintenance by making it possible to automatically update test case suites whenever a test entity, such as a test module, test case, or action name is changed. Just-in-time compilation takes advantage of proprietary test client and automation engine architecture to significantly increase test execution performance.
TestArchitect Enterprise and TestArchitect Mobile Plus include support for iOS and Android phones and tablets, with both web and hybrid app testing capability for all testing needs, from mobile to desktop to cloud-based applications.
A plugin for Eclipse is now also available to view settings, variables, error/warning messages, and execution information while creating, executing, and debugging custom actions in TestArchitect.
"The expanded TestArchitect product line provides companies with a choice of features and price points for their specific software testing needs," commented Hung Nguyen, CEO of LogiGear. "The productivity enhancements simplify and speed-up test creation and test adaptation to keep up with the high rate of change."
LogiGear also confirms that TestArchitect Enterprise integrates with Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) to be used as an ALM-based test repository for sharing test data among all team members.

Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
I have a few questions regarding to aRTS.
1. Why does it use MCOP? Isn't ORBit faster?
By AC at Wed, 2001/03/21 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
1. Evidently not. Besides nobody wants to deal with CORBA again. MCOP also does streams. But S himself seems to like CORBA, check the webpages for fuller explanations.
2. Evidently it doesn't. Why don't you try aRts before crapshooting?
By KDE User at Wed, 2001/03/21 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
I think no one wants to deal with MICO there's nothing wrong with ORBit.
By Lee at Wed, 2001/03/21 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
There's a very good discussion of the exact reasons behind aRts using MCOP instead of CORBA or DCOP at the aRts project website. The URL is:
The title is "Why not DCOP" but it discusses CORBA some as well (aRts originally used CORBA, but switched). All the reasons seem well thought-out and very logical. One very good reason cited there is speed: By some measures, MCOP is 6-8 times as fast as CORBA (and 4 times as fast as DCOP). MCOP's architecture is also much better suited to some of the tasks that aRts does. (after all, it was designed specifically for multimedia)
By not me at Thu, 2001/03/22 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
Looking at some old peformance tests for ORBit (http://developer.gnome.org/doc/whitepapers/ORBit/about-orbit.html).
MICO and ORBit are both ran 10,000 times with MICO taking 22.48 seconds and ORBit 2.93. Or about 444,82 invocations/sec and 3412,97 inv/sec respectively.
This means (with 1000 to 1500 invocations/sec as reported by Stefan) a factor of 2.243 to 3.372 difference between the tests.
ORBit would then get something between 7655 to 11508 invocations per second in Stefan's test (if I haven't miscalculated) compared to MCOP's 8000.
I don't believe performance has anything to do with choosing MCOP over ORBit though. It probably has something to do with compatibility with KDE, ease of use, and familiarity.
Btw, I recall seeing a mail from Elliott Lee that he was focusing on performance in ORBit2.

By konqi at Wed, 2001/03/21 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
I don't think he's trolling, he's just uninformed. There is some misconception amongst some gnome-centric people I think that orbit is faster. There were also reports to mailing lists (i.e. mandrake) for the kde2.1 beta's that aRts took up a lot of CPU resources.
Where I work there is a very debian/gnome centric group. When I asked many people why they don't use KDE most replied that it was b/c KDE was inferior. However, the people that have used KDE only ever used the first version of KDE1. Once I introduced konqi to some of them they've been changing their opinion.
By Tormak at Wed, 2001/03/21 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
Arts _does_ take up a lot of system resources (at least if I can trust my various resource monitors).
I use it and like it, but even when I'm just playing mp3s its sitting there taking a small percentage of my CPU (< 5% of a 750 MHz Duron). I'm sure its more noticable on slower machines.
By JC at Wed, 2001/03/21 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
Thats normal, Winamp takes 13% on a 416 MHz Celeron.
By reihal at Wed, 2001/03/21 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
aRts takes up a moderate amount of resources. Here on my P3 500 MHz, average total CPU usage when playing an MP3 with Noatun is 3 to 3.5%. Doing nothing, it's about 1%.
When I kill artsd, CPU usage goes down to practically 0. Playing an MP3 with XMMS takes around 0.3-0.5%. I measured this using KPM.
So yes, aRts does take more CPU time than other sound players, but it has many more capabilities as well. Also, aRts is still in development, of course.
I wouldn't worry too much about people with slow computers. I think that probably the CPU time taken by aRts depends more on the soundcard than your processor speed, and therefore it would remain nearly constant no matter how fast your computer (because all soundcards play at the same rate). I could be wrong, though :-)

Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
Super. I wish the best to all the developers! And maybe someone can figure out why a no-error proper tree-compile from source of 2.1 causes my artsd to wig out on a stock Mandrake 7.1 system:
artsd: Symbol `__vt_Q24Arts16SoundServer_base.Q24Arts22SimpleSoundServer_base' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
By EKH at Wed, 2001/03/21 - 6:00am
I'm I understanding this correctly, that CSL is the GNOME sound architecture? Does this mean that GNOME apps (like everybuddy) might one day happily play their notifications and sounds while running in KDE?
By Timothy R. Butler at Wed, 2001/03/21 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
Will there really be *no* gap when playing consecutive songs, or will the gap simply be (much) smaller than it is now? I ask because I can't imagine that the gap could be completely eliminated without loading at least some of the second file *before* the first one has finished.
Needless to say, when listening to ripped CDs (ex, a live performance) it would be nice to have absolutely no gap. :)
By David Sweet at Wed, 2001/03/21 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
I plan on making this* an option in noatun.
*this, that is, loading the previous file before the current is done playing.
Certain files take a lot of overhead on initial overhead, the new Mikmod plugin for example (libmikmod is just plain dissapointing)

By Rudo Thomas at Thu, 2001/03/22 - 6:00am
Re: I have a problem with noatun.
Actually - if you really want to play stuff like DivX files - try Xine. I tried avifile, MPlayer and xine - xine beats all of them, and version 0.4 is multithreaded - so it takes ~30% of my CPU. I can live with that ;)

Hardware Mixers
I think it would be cool for aRts to support multi-channel hardware mixing. Nothing would have to change in the abstraction layer between the client apps and artsd, just the way artsd handles /dev/dsp. Several of the OSS drivers support opening /dev/dsp multiple times and pushing several, independant, streams into it. Other drivers support /dev/dsp{0,1,2,...}. I guess this is a "It would be nice" type of thing, to have the final output streams mixed in hardware (at no CPU cost, and higher quality), especially considering that it will take a much higher load to cause the sound to break up. Anyway I'll take a look at the aRts homepage and see if anyone thinks this is a good idea.
By raven667 at Thu, 2001/03/22 - 6:00am
Re: Hardware Mixers
I agree. Having a Sounblaster Live I really don't need arts to start mixing things together. It would be really nice if what you described could be implemented somehow.
Good luck to you all,
By Jelmer Feenstra at Thu, 2001/03/22 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
I have had problems with large files (or streaming from XMMS). After 20-30 mins, the CPU usage goes skyhigh, and finally causes Noatun or Xmms to jitter the sound. Also, artsd becomes highly unstable and easly crashes when some other sound is sent to it from licq (eg). This problem has been there since 2.0. Is it being addressed ?
By RE: How about speed at Thu, 2001/03/22 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
I agree. artsd is extremely flakey when the audio device is being used by other technologies. It doesn't deal with the situation gracefully and causes audio to stop working altogether until it has been HUPped - and sometimes killed altogether. To be honest, I often find it better just to kill artsd completely and just use XMMS with the standard kernel sound drivers etc. I do hope I won't have to do this for much longer.
By Nick Mailer at Thu, 2001/03/22 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
It has been addressed in 2.1, AFAIK.
I reported that myself and no longer see this - seems to have been massive leakage.
By anon at Fri, 2001/03/23 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
I have 2.1 now, and the problem is still there. The only way to avoid it is by using artsdsp and making xmms write to /dev/dsp. But I guess all of us want to use noatun.

Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
I hope evenually we get a kde Video and Audio editor like the one advertised on the Mac commercials. I think that would be a very cool addition to kde.
By Craig Black at Thu, 2001/03/22 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
For a KDE Audio editor, you might try Brahms (whose homepage is apparantly down) at http://lienhard.desy.de/mackag/homepages/jan/Brahms/
For Video, I would suggest a non-KDE program, Broadcast 2000, located at http://heroines.sourceforge.net/bcast2000.php3. To give you an idea of its quality, it is also sold packaged with hardware to small TV stations as a turnkey solution. Unfortunantly, it *does* require the latest and greatest kernel and such - it really does push the latest multimedia features in Linux. Unfortunantly, until the Linux video system matures and works its way into distros a bit more, it will be difficult for a simple package install... but it does exist.
By Evan "JabberWok... at Thu, 2001/03/22 - 6:00am

There's a newer version of Brahms in KDE's CVS. Try that one instead.

By Craig Black at Thu, 2001/03/22 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
KDE uses the standard X DnD protocol (that's why it interoperates just fine with GTK/motif/etc apps). I can drag thing from konqi to xchat, xmms, etc with no problems whatsoever.
If Broadcast 2000 doesn't do drag-n-drop from konqi, it's not because it's not a KDE app, it's because the author doesn't support drag-n-drop period :-). He certainly could, and then it would work from gmc, mozilla, others as well.
By Kevin Puetz at Thu, 2001/03/22 - 6:00am
Re: KDE 2.2 Multimedia Meeting: Report
Even if it did and i did'nt check it still would be cool to have a video editor that was kde specific.

How about fixing noatun?
I have TONS of stability problems. After playing a few mp3's I end up having to kill noatun and the 3 copies of arts it leaves around. I was so annoyed I almost switched back to GNOME. Then I decided to try XMMS (using artsdsp xmmms -p). Since then I've had NO problems (even when playing system sounds while the mp3 is playing).
Anyone else get this?
PS - also I think the default skin should be smaller... just my 2 cents
By Rimmer at Thu, 2001/03/22 - 6:00am
Re: How about fixing noatun?
I'm a recent convert from Gnome 1.0 to kde 2.1 and i think kde is definitely the nicest desktop i've used. but:
I have similar problems. first of all, if i start arts via the artswrapper (has to be done as root), i cant get it to suid to something else (or i didnt find how to do it in the docs).
now, i'm trying artsdsp xmms -p and it's doing much better, though i've gotten a couple of "pops" in the sound. I'm not picky about the sound, but if windows2000 lets me play winamp and get email notification sounds at the same time w/o any pops, i'd hope kde could do the same.
* actually, as i was getting ready to post this, i started having some major problems with sound. arts randomly shot up its resource usage to 68% of system resources, and the sound broke up into a million pieces. all i did was submit a form in opera.
By Pablo Castro at Thu, 2001/03/22 - 6:00am
Linux sound is just pathetic?
I have a fairly fast computer (Thunderbird 1100) and I have problems with the sound in both GNOME and KDE. This sound is fine (when playing an mp3) until I try to move a large file (like a kernel tarball) or open several apps at once. Then I get lots of static and broken sounds. Maybe Linux just sucks... anytime I move a large file (or something similar like untar a kernel) the system becomes completely unresponsive. It doesn't help that GNOME and KDE both use over 80 MB of memory on my system.

In fact the Linux kernel has been getting _worse and worse_, not better, when it comes to kernel latency, which is a common cause of audio-dropout. Basically, I'm with you on this one, Linux sound (and multimedia presentation) just sucks, at the kernel level, due to poor (from the perspective of multimedia needs) task scheduling. Even the low-latency patches, though they offer a HUGE improvement to real-time scheduled tasks, do not fully solve the problems with Linux and latency (for example, they have no effect on non-real-time scheduled tasks, which, admittedly, by definition, don't need to be as responsive) but the real problem is basically that the Linux kernel is designed to be a server kernel, so that if ever there is a trade-off between responsiveness or raw speed, raw speed always wins. This is unfortunate, as OS's such as QNX and BeOS show that a responsive kernel can lead to a nicer experience for the user, and a more suitable platform for content production, as well as at least the -impression- that the computer is fast. I'd love to see a new scheduler in Linux, one with things like extrememly low-latency real-time, smoother scheduling in general, and priority inheritance. In fact, in an ideal world, you'd see two different kernels out there, which both export a perfectly compatible common API, but "tuned" very differently -- one with a scheduler tuned for fast response, and fast thread creation/destruction (like BeOS), the other tuned for raw speed with more emphesis on processes than threads (for big servers). So that way if you are basically a desktop user (or gamer, artist) you'd use the BeOS-like kernel, but if you are building a server, scientific work-horse, or database back-end, you'd use the current Linux kernel. In 2.4.2, I've seen reports of 400 (FOUR HUNDRED!!!) millisecond latencies ("reponse" times). FOUR HUNDRED! We're almost entering Window's 95 territory there! Well, not that bad, but!!!!

Re: Linux sound is just pathetic?
Although enabling DMA might help in these cases, there are still situations in which this problem persists. I am using a USB harddisk, and when I copy large files to or from this device my system becomes unresponsive after a while and sometimes even hangs! Especially when there's another process doing intensive I/O (in my case, grabbing video from a TV capture card) the kernel tends to lock up hard after a while.
Since this problem appears after transferring about the same amount of data as there is free memory in my system, it seems as if the kernel has trouble flushing its write-behind cache on slow devices. I'm no kernel expert but as far as I can see this problem is most likely not USB driver related (I've used both uhci.o and usb-uhci.o, both express the same problem).
Are there other out there that have seen the same behaviour?
Maybe this should be CCed to the kernel people...

Re: How about fixing noatun?
I've decided to post another reponse here, as my first one was very deep in the discussion, and I'm afraid that it might get lost in the confusion.
You are having a problem with one of two possibilities, or both.
#1: Your windows driver does a better job than your Linux driver of supporting your sound chip's hardware buffers, or
(or, possibly, DMA, but the pages that cover kernel latency also cover that, so anyway...)
Search on google on "Linux low-latency patches" and read up. These pages explain a LOT. You can also read my longer rant deeper in the discussion!

Do the Commands in the Book
of Revelation Matter to Me? (Part 2)
Send a link to a friend
Last summer, I attended the North American Christian
Convention with my family. Each morning, some
college/preacher friends and I attended a Bible
study led by Dr. Mark Scott. He took us through the
imperative verbs of the Book of Revelation.
What are Imperative verbs? They are "bossy" words.
They are commanding and
demanding words. They give us orders to live by as
we wait for the second coming of Jesus. We could
call them our Exit Strategy.
It was during this study we were inspired to do a
series together. Our church is one of several from
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and
Kansas studying the Revelation Mandates.
There are about 29 different com-mands in the Book
of Revelation. Some are statements like, "Do not be
afraid." "Do not weep." "Do not seal up the words of
this prophecy." Others are one word commands like,
"come, keep, worship, and rejoice."
There is more to Revelation than just looking at it
like a manual for end time specu-lation. Paying
attention to the commands can help us stay alert and
ready for the sec-ond coming. And they can help keep
us from shipwrecking our lives in these last days.
A convention speaker a few years ago told of going
to a major university to give a speech. Those in
charge asked him not to mention or to use the Bible
in his lecture. He said it seemed such a strange
request, because just the day before he was speaking
in a prison, and the warden asked him, "As you speak
to the men today, will you please make sure you use
the Bible? The men really want to hear what God
Now that seems a little backwards, doesn't it? We're
not supposed to teach God's Word to impressionable
college students, but once a person has made a mess
of their life, well, then it's okay to talk about
scripture. That's like building a hospital at the
bottom of the cliff instead of installing a fence at
the top!
question about it, the sometimes "bossy" commands of God are more
like a fence than anything. As believers, we should appreciate that
God did that for us. However, more and more people, including some
Chris-tians, are losing interest for the Bible.
In the 1700's, the French Philosopher Voltaire made this prediction:
"100 years from his death the Bible would no longer be on this
earth." However, just 50 years after he died, the Geneva Bible
Society bought the home in which he grew up in and lived, and used
the same presses that he used to print his atheist material to start
printing copies of the Word of God! They have been doing so ever
Jesus also made a prediction, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but
my words will never disappear."
Which of these two predictions would be truer of your life right
now? Maybe, we should get back to a deep study of God's Word. I
invite you to join us on Sunday morn-ings or on our website as we
study the Revela-tion Mandates.

elibtoolize: Allow undefined symbols on AIX, needed by and work fine with module libs.
namespace ECLASSDIR_LOCAL incase some other eclass tries to use the same var
elibtoolize: accept explicit dir args on command line #496320 by Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis
Remove warning for uclibc if patching fails, bug #492640
libtool.eclass elibtoolize(): Besides ltmain.sh, explicitly locate configure to apply patches rather than guessing based on where ltmain.sh was found.
use find to get file permissions instead of chmod --reference which is not portable, bug #468952
do not try to cp/patch/chmod the file if it does not exist #468852 by Samuli Suominen
apply fix from upstream to use ${CHOST}-nm by default #462976 by Agostino Sarubbo
make sure we save/restore chmod bits in case `patch` is broken and does not do it for us
Remove redundant DESCRIPTION variable settings.
elt-patches: add Solaris no de-deplication patch to fix built C++ objects from aborting when an exception is thrown
also apply sol2-conf patchset
Add ELT patch for Solaris x64 libtool problem where the linker is set to 'ld_sol2'
elibtoolize: make sure header is included in logs too and not just the sub messages which rely on the context #395489 by Martin von Gagern
avoid multiple inclusions when possible to speed caching up
allow overlays to specify eclass overrides without breaking libtools lookup of local patches #389009
add a --force flag to elibtoolize so that eautoreconf can make sure it runs even in face of poor interactions with earlier ebuilds/eclasses code #232820
clean up patch applying a bit, and add support for @GENTOO_LIBDIR@ replacements in patches
Be compatible with bash3 as well.
Use a safer syntax for libtool.eclass (bug #370983).
Add a gold-specific patch when gold is used as linker, as only libtool 2.2.7 and later actually report it properly. Check two parents directories for configure as sometimes it would otherwise fail (libarchive), and make the debug log a bit more useful by appending rather than replacing and adding the name of the patch/file it gets tested on.
clean up the elcass a bit -- drop dead code, add documentation, etc...
Change ELT-patches for AIX to use import files as soname-emulator (bug#213277). This requires switching libtool to force -no-undefined behaviour on AIX. Additionally, get_libname() now does return .so and versions like Linux.
change bug notice to report a bug rather than annoy specific people
drop spurious arg to popd #314493
rewrite ELT_walk_patches to handle path name as well as locale issues pointed out by Michał Górny #314493
aixrtl and hpux-conf _need_ to apply in a loop, mint-conf does not, (loop dropped in http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/alt/changeset/55797)
Activate Prefix ELT-patches when and where necessary, acked by base-system, bug #301190
Import patch from Debian http://bugs.debian.org/347650 which hacks around libtool deplib re-ordering, which inhibits -Wl,--as-needed. You have to set -Wl,--as-needed seperately in LDFLAGS for this to do any good, -Wl,--as-needed,--something-else will not do, but you can set -Wl,--something-else afterwards. Also make sure eclasses I 'own' run elibtoolize so they can reap the benefit.
start an elibtoolize cross category #262042 by Sven Rebhan.
Replace touch with bash redirection, so that it doesn't depend on coreutils. It doesn't have to.
Restore the ltmain dir as the issue affecting BSD (-pthread) vs Linux (-lpthread) has been fixed
Drop the ltmain patch as that breaks KDE on linux apparently. Sucks for BSD eh?, #192495
Apply install-sh patches
Add a patch for ltmain.sh-1.5 so that KDE ebuilds link correctly on FreeBSD, #182214
depreciated -> deprecated. bug #180352
declare maintainer and cleanup a little
Avoid QA warnings about ppc-macos not in USE by using CHOST like fbsd does.
Remove wrong call to glibtoolize on darwin.
Remove references to kde-fastinstall patch.

Add patch to fix kde's fast-install support in libtool, to fix problems reported by truedfx and others.
Add code to support applying fbsd-ltconf patch for older libtools.
Change $PORTDIR/eclass/ to $ECLASSDIR/

Apply whitespace check from repoman to eclasses.
Merge uclibctoolize() stuff with elibtoolize(), and add required patches to make elibtoolize not bork on portage patch failing.
Do not run elibtoolize again if already run. The check for no patches applied was in the wrong for loop.
Some misc cleanups, and do not warn if portage patch seems to be applied.
QA: Apply whitespace checks from repoman to eclasses.
Remove ECLASS= and INHERITED= which haven't been necessary for a long time now

Self-confessed teenage psycho-killer Austin Reed Sigg has another hearing today, as justice for Jessica Ridgeway begins to clumsily meander through the criminal court system like a drunk on a binge.
Gag orders issued by the judge, though standard practice of late, aren't helping much, either. Because of that restriction, both the prosecution and defense remain mum on exactly what to expect from today's proceedings or where the case is ultimately headed, and when it might get there.
The matter, crystal clear when the youth was first apprehended, is becoming murky already, as measures are taken to push it off the public's radar so the jury pool doesn't get tainted.
Will Sigg cop a plea well before then and spare the county the expense of a dragged out trial, maybe cough up another victim or two in hopes of sweetening the deal? Or will the 17 criminal charges he faces be transferred to the juvenile court where he could expect to receive total privacy and far more lenient sentencing if convicted?
Unknown at the moment and, although Sigg's defense lawyers have had ample time to file a transfer motion, as of Monday anyway they haven't done so yet. It's also not quite clear if they can actually do this now or, if so, whether the rumors that they intend to request it at today's hearing are true or false.
Which is to say, if the option hasn't technically been forfeited, then everything in People versus Sigg is still up in the air...and up to judicial discretion.
But whatever wrangling has been going on behind closed doors, this is a contest that should be easy to call, considering that both the DNA evidence collected so far and the body parts found in Sigg's Westminster Colorado home positively link the defendant to the crime, with or without his voluntary confession.
As well, the vicious and premeditated nature of the abduction, assault, murder and dismemberment of Jessica Ridgeway makes it highly unlikely any court will view Sigg's actions as merely those of a child. Remember, other "children" before him, guilty of lesser offenses and even younger than he is, have nonetheless been made to account as adult offenders.
He will, too, is the best guess.
In absence of a plea bargain on the table, it is Austin Sigg's confession then which will be the main focal point of the defense's strategy once the Ridgeway murder trial gets underway.
Claiming duress, or due process violations, or even that their client is crazy, they'll want that incriminating piece of paper chucked out altogether. Or at least its validity brought into serious question.
The prosecution has the burden of proving guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt" so that approach could work, unfortunately. It's a sleight of hand that has been successfully achieved many times in the past, resulting in some stunning acquittals by confounded juries in cases that were once upon a time considered prima facie.
An excellent example of this occurred in the trial of Wyley Gates, who was also only 17 when he plotted and mass murdered his entire family in 1986 so he might not have to share a six-digit inheritance.
Every shred of evidence had implicated the honor student within only hours of investigators arriving at the grisly crime scene, and by six in the morning the next day, Wyley had even abandoned his flimsy version of events and volunteered a confession to police during a polygraph exam. In it, providing details of the massacre that only the shooter could have known.
With little else to go on, Gates's lawyer relentlessly challenged that confession in a barrage of pretrial motions that were each soundly denied. Moreover, the trial judge's decision to allow the incriminating document to be presented at trial was upheld numerous times on appeal.
Regardless, where Wyley's defense team had failed on the merits, it prevailed in the argument, hammering away at the credibility of investigators until finally convincing jurors that the boy had been outright bullied and coerced into admitting to a crime he hadn't committed.
A jury of perplexed peers then declared the defendant not guilty on all counts of murder, and, to the shock and outrage of the community, convicted him only of a conspiracy to kill. The one charge Gates could not weasel out of because the murder plans were found on the hard drive of his computer in a Dungeons & Dragons style program he'd designed called "Infierno."
Like Austin Sigg, Wyley Gates was charged (and tried) as an adult for the Gates Massacre, and, in all, the teen had boldly bragged about killing his family to at least a dozen other people, including psychiatrists, classmates, and his own grandmother. Yet, thanks to clever counsel, this dangerous teenage psychopath was sentenced to only 8 1/3 - 25 years for those brutal slayings, and served less than 18 years when finally paroled.
He got his law degree while in prison, and went to work for a NYC law firm when released.
A cautionary tale about the perils of trying baby-faced killers for perpetrating crimes not even dared by most adults.

1 comment on "Another Court Date for Austin Reed Sigg"
Colorado court says Sigg must face trial as an adult
Defense attorneys for Austin Reed Sigg waived their right to a juvenile transfer motion, the judge succinctly ruled today, That decision finally clears the path for the teenager to be tried as an adult for 17 felony counts in the Ridgeway girl's killing this October and the attempted murder of a female jogger last May. It also allows him to be relocated ASAP to an adult jailhouse, a move which his attorneys oppose.
Sigg turns 18 in January, and therefore would have required different housing arrangements anyway.
The ruling was as expected, considering the gravity of the crimes involved, but there is still room for a few legal surprises in this matter: The defendant will be returning to court again on December 12th for a motions hearing, and a preliminary hearing is set for February 22, where it will be decided if the case can go to trial.
If it does and he's convicted for murder, Sigg is looking at up to 40 years in prison before becoming eligible for parole. That would make him less than 60 when finally released.
Whether his attorneys are cooking up a more favorable sentence via a plea deal now, nobody's saying. But 40 years is still a generous sentence in the scheme of things--even when tried as an adult, Sigg can't be put to death or imprisoned permanently as actual adult offenders can, because the US Supreme Court has forbidden such harsh sentences for minors as "cruel and unusual" punishment.
Sigg didn't directly speak at the hearing today, but whispered with his attorneys and now and then nodded his head. He was under heavy guard throughout the proceedings.

US trade gap shrinks to $38.5B, lowest in 3 years, on drop in oil imports, higher exports .
WASHINGTON – The U.S. trade deficit narrowed sharply in December because oil imports plummeted and total exports rose. The smaller trade gap means the economy likely performed better in the final three months of last year than first estimated last week.
The Commerce Department says the trade deficit fell nearly 21 percent in December, to $38.6 billion, the smallest in nearly three years.
Exports rose 2.1 percent to $186.4 billion. Exports of oil and other petroleum products rose to the highest level on record.
Imports shrank 2.7 percent to $224.9 billion. Oil imports plunged to 223 billion barrels, the lowest since February 1997.
A narrower trade gap boosts growth because it means U.S. companies earned more from overseas sales while consumers and businesses spent less on foreign products.

text: Thursday, November 29, 2012 Stop the Therapy Cap: Contact Your Members of Congress on Monday APTA, in conjunction with the Therapy Cap Coalition, is launching a national grassroots campaign to "Stop the Therapy Cap" on Monday, December 3. The patient impact of the cap is the theme of Monday's campaign. Almost 50 associations, organizations and patient groups will be sending action alerts to their members. With about 30 days left until expiration of the therapy cap exceptions process, the goal is to create a significant surge in Congressional e-mails and phone calls urging members of Congress to stop the therapy cap from taking effect in 2013. APTA has provided association members form letters and e-mails in its Legislative Action Center. To access the materials, log in to the website, click "Take Action" under "Stop the Medicare Therapy Cap and Prevent SGR Payment Cuts," and follow the instructions. If you have time, personalize the e-mail and let Congress know how the cap impacts your patients. Congress has been very clear: it will not take action without input from constituents. If you only send 1 advocacy e-mail or make 1 advocacy phone call this year, do it on Monday. APTA will send out an Action Alert Monday morning with talking points and instructions for contacting your legislators. Also, ask your patients to e-mail or call their members of Congress on Monday using APTA'sPatient Action Center. For more information on APTA's advocacy efforts, visit the Medicare Therapy Cap website. Time is running out! Take 5 minutes on Monday and contact your legislators. You can make a difference and help prevent a hard Medicare therapy cap of $1,900 from being implemented in 2013. Comments This "cap" is literally going to be a death sentence for 10's of THOUSANDS of elderly living in the nursing homes across America. Not to mention the 10's of THOUSANDS of MORE jobs that will be lost, in this industry. These people paid into the Medicare System for 40 years and this President and his Healthcare plan has stolen these benefits that were prepaid in advance. Posted by Richard Ivy on 11/29/2012 8:25 PM I had to learn to walk and talk again after a brain injury in combination with several major skeletal injuries. I later on came to certify as a personal trainer. I enjoy good health now because of the therapy at such a crucial time in my life. People need therapy, not governmental regulation! Do not allow a cap on services. Posted by Mike James on 11/29/2012 10:20 PM Of course the therapy cap should be rescinded, but let's not confuse the matter with criticism of the Affordable Health Care Act. The cap has been in existence since 1997 and remained intact under both Democratic and Republican presidents. We need to lobby both Congressional members of both parties and not play into partisan politics here. Posted by Naomi Azulay -> =HQaB on 11/30/2012 1:32 AM New grads in Physical Therapy field can not get employment because of this medcare/mecaid cap!! I can fore see many patients denied the right to therapy which may lead to more preventable disabilities. Posted by Moses Ogutu on 11/30/2012 5:11 PM Ms. Azulay, I don't think Richard Ivy is confusing anything. I think you are confused...the AHCA aka Obamacare has raided 700 billion from medicare to pay for its "plan"....this is why this cap has went into effect, and I can guarantee payment decreases will soon follow. Don't believe this is the answer to health care costs in the USA. Plus the cap has been around since the 70's for your info. What one has to look at is when has the medicare cap been in actual affect. Health Care premiums have went up....since the new healthcare act. The medicare cap is the least of our worries as HC professionals, soon people won't afford PT Posted by Keith Zurbuch on 11/30/2012 10:22 PM I am self a self employed Therapist. It is getting harder and more difficult to get our payment from Medicare. Many Pt's who work for a Hospital or large corporation may not see what goes on behind the scenes. You need to be concerned as well because it will affect you also. Mile Stewart. PT Posted by Mike Stewart on 12/3/2012 7:56 AM The Medicare Cap obstructs needed therapy for those that need multiple extensive services. It does no good to have insurance coverage that arbitrarily limits access. Please stop the therapy cap for OT, PT and ST services. Posted by Tena Wallace on 12/3/2012 2:14 PM Gentlemen: This is a completely wrong measure to inact and will affect thousands and thousands of people who need addtional dollars (and time) for stroke rehab alone. PLEASE re-think this issue NOW!!! Posted by Neal Martin on 12/3/2012 4:06 PM Some conditions require extensive therapies. The hard cap would end rehab mid way for many patients, as if they had no coverage. Posted by P Jenkins on 12/3/2012 7:56 PM I think this is so wrong, we seniors were good as workers then when we.can retire and enjoy life we get sick and can't get help, which was taken out of our salary, now look at what happened. Those people that has been trained to help you, they are not getting paid and we are not getting therapy. what has this world become? Posted by Sandy Goodin on 12/10/2012 12:35 PM As a Nursing Facility Administrator located in a critical access hospital, it was greatly impact our nursing facility tremendously to have a cap on Part B. therapy. We have more part B than skilled care, so we need to maintain the part B status we now have in order to help support our not for profit center. Thank you for your consideration in this crucial matter. Posted by Bonnie Thornton on 12/4/2013 2:29 PM
