(09/27/2012) Greenpeace is dedicated to ending deforestation and preventing catastrophic climate change. We are often recognized for putting our lives and freedoms on the line to accomplish these goals. In the U.S. alone, Greenpeace is campaigning to save ancient forests, speaking out against the coal industry; mobilizing millions to save the arctic from new oil drilling; and pushing key industries to commit to renewable energy.
In eco-pact, will controversial paper giant APP turn over a new leaf?
(09/26/2012) Over the past decade-and-a-half there has arguably been no paper supplier as controversial as Asia Pulp & Paper (APP), an umbrella brand for several Indonesian forestry companies. The paper giant has been dogged by allegations that is destroying key wildlife habitat, driving substantial greenhouse gas emissions through the conversion of peat forests, dispossessing local communities of land, and engaging in a heavy-handed campaign to undermine its critics within Indonesia and abroad. Its reputation hasn't be helped by its financial record — in 2001 it defaulted on $13.9 billion in debt, making it difficult for APP to raise money for expansion.
Greenpeace targets forest carbon offsets in California's cap-and-trade
(09/25/2012) California's inclusion of forest conservation-based carbon offsets in its climate change legislation may not lead to net reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and could exacerbate social conflict in places like southern Mexico, argues a report released Monday by Greenpeace. But the activist group faced sharp criticism from backers of California's initiative.
Featured video: camera traps find rare, mountain animals in Sumatra
(09/24/2012) In May of this year, Dutch filmmaker, Marten Slothouwer and his team trudged up Sumatra's northern-most mountains with video camera equipment in hand, hoping to capture rare and cryptic species for the world to see. Already the camera trapping initiative, dubbed Eyes on Leuser, took incredible footage in the region's imperiled lowland rainforest, but the group hoped now to capture mountain endemics.
Amazon deforestation jumps in August
(09/22/2012) Satellite imagery released by the Brazil's National Space Research Institute (INPE) reveals a sharp jump in deforestation during the month of August. The new data, which wasn't publicized by usual press release on INPE's homepage, was first highlighted by O Eco, a Brazilian environmental news site.
Learning to live with elephants in Malaysia
(09/18/2012) Humans and elephants have a lot in common: both are highly intelligent, intensely social, and both are capable of having a massive impact on their local environments. Given their similarities, it might not be surprising that elephants and human have often run afoul of one another. Conflict between these two great species has probably been going on for thousands of years, but as human populations have grown dramatically, elephant populations have been crippled and forced into smaller-and-smaller pockets. No-where is this more true than in Southeast Asia.
Rodents have lowest diversity in primary forests in the Congo
(09/17/2012) For many animal families, diversity and abundance rises as one moves away from human-impacted landscapes, like agricultural areas, into untouched places, such as primary rainforests. However, a new study in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science, shows that the inverse can also be true. In this case, scientists working in the Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) Maskao Forest found that both rodent diversity and abundance was lowest in primary forest.
Pictures: Bolivian park may have the world's highest biodiversity
(09/12/2012) With over 90 species of bat, 50 species of snake, 300 fish, 12,000 plants, and 11 percent of the world's bird species, Madidi National Park in Bolivia may be the world's most biodiverse place, according to new surveys by the the Bolivian Park Service (SERNAP) with aid from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
Photos: camera traps capture wildlife bonanza in Borneo forest corridor
(09/10/2012) Camera traps placed in a corridor connecting two forest fragments have revealed (in stunning visuals) the importance of such linkages for Borneo's imperiled mammals and birds. Over 18 months, researchers with the Sabah Wildlife Department (SWD) and the Danau Girang Field Centre (DGFC) have photographed wildlife utilizing the corridor located in the Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary in Malaysian Borneo.
Climate change causing forest die-off globally
(09/09/2012) Already facing an onslaught of threats from logging and conversion for agriculture, forests worldwide are increasingly impacted by the effects of climate change, including drought, heightened fire risk, and disease, putting the ecological services they afford in jeopardy, warns a new paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Human rights key to rainforest conservation, argues report
(09/06/2012) Recognizing the rights of forest people to manage their land is critical to reducing deforestation rates and safeguarding global forests, argues a new report published by Rainforest Foundation Norway.
Palm oil company in Cameroon drops bid for eco-certification of controversial plantation
(09/05/2012) Herakles Farm, a U.S.-based agricultural developer, will no longer seek eco-certification of its 70,000-hectare oil palm plantation in Cameroon, reports the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). The move comes amid criticism from environmental groups that Herakles is converting high conservation value rainforest for the plantation.
Forest expands 3% in Colombia during 2000s, but loss grows in llanos region
(09/04/2012) Colombia gained nearly 17,000 square kilometers of forest between 2001 and 2010 as forests recovered in mountainous regions in the Andes, reports a new study published in the journal PLoS One.
Bolivia should prioritize cattle ranching, law enforcement in deforestation fight
(09/04/2012) Bolivia should prioritize environmental law enforcement and slowing expansion of large-scale cattle ranching to reduce Amazon deforestation, argues a study published last month by researchers from Germany and the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR).
Swiss to investigate UBS for alleged money laundering for Malaysian rainforest logging
(09/04/2012) Swiss authorities have launched a criminal investigation into whether banking giant UBS laundered money on behalf of a Malaysian politician who allegedly received illegal payments for allowing logging in Borneo, reports the Associated Press.
Indigenous groups in Panama wait for UN REDD to meet promises
(08/30/2012) A dispute over the implementation of REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) in Panama has pitted the United Nations (UN) against the nation's diverse and large indigenous groups. Represented by the National Coordinator of Indigenous Peoples in Panama (COONAPIP), indigenous groups charge that the UN has failed to meet several pledges related to kick-starting REDD+ with their support, including delaying a $1.79 million payment to the group to begin REDD+-related activities. The on-going dispute highlights the perils and complexities of implementing REDD+, especially concerns that the program might disenfranchise indigenous groups who have long been the stewards of their forest territories.
Sabah protects 700 sq mi of rainforest in Borneo
(08/30/2012) Sabah, a state in Malaysian Borneo, has reclassified 183,000 hectares (700 sq km) of forest zoned for logging concessions as protected areas.
Emissions from Amazon deforestation in Brazil fall 57% since 2004
(08/29/2012) Annual emissions from deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon fell by about 57 percent between 2004 and 2011, 20 percentage points lower than the recorded drop in deforestation, reports a new study published in the journal Global Change Biology by Brazilian scientists. Overall, Brazilian deforestation represented roughly 1.5 percent of global carbon emissions from human activities.
Private reserve safeguards newly discovered frogs in Ecuadorian cloud forest
(08/28/2012) Although it covers only 430 hectares (1,063 acres) of the little-known Chocó forest in Ecuador, the private reserve las Gralarias in Ecuador is home to an incredible explosion of life. Long known as a birder's paradise, the Reserva las Gralarias is now making a name for itself as a hotspot for new and endangered amphibians, as well as hundreds of stunning species of butterfly and moth. This is because the reserve is set in the perfect place for evolution to run wild: cloud forest spanning vast elevational shifts. "The pacific slope cloud forests [...] are among the most endangered habitats in the world," explains Reserva las Gralarias' founder, Jane Lyons, in a recent interview with mongabay.com.
Rainforests decline sharply in Sumatra, but rate of deforestation slows
(08/28/2012) The extent of old-growth forest in Sumatra shrank by 40 percent over the past 20 years, while overall forest on the Indonesian island declined by 36 percent, finds a comprehensive new satellite-based assessment published in Environmental Research Letters. The research, conducted by an international team led by Belinda Arunarwati Margono of South Dakota State University and Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry, reveals the dire condition of Sumatra's once extensive rainforests. Overall Sumatra lost 7.5 million hectares of forest between 1990 and 2010, of which about 2.6 million hectares was primary forest. The bulk of forest loss occurred in secondary forests that had been previously degraded by logging.
Bizarre new rodent discovered in Indonesia has only 2 teeth
(08/22/2012) The Indonesian island of Sulawesi is a workshop of bizarre evolutionary experiments. Think of the babirusa, pig-like species with tusks that puncture their snouts; or the maleo, a ground-bird that lays its eggs in geothermal heated sand; or the anoa, the world's smallest wild cattle. Now the island, made up of four intersecting peninsulas, can add another bizarre creature to its menagerie of marvels: the Paucidentomys vermidax, a new species of rodent that is different from all others.
Chart: Forest loss in Latin America
(08/20/2012) Latin America lost nearly 260,000 square kilometers (100,000 square miles) of forest — an area larger than the state of Oregon — between 2001 and 2010, finds a new study that is the first to assess both net forest loss and regrowth across the Caribbean, Central and South America. The study, published in the journal Biotropica by researchers from the University of Puerto Rico and other institutions, analyzes change in vegetation cover across several biomes, including forests, grasslands, and wetlands. It finds that the bulk of vegetation change occurred in forest areas, mostly tropical rainforests and lesser-known dry forests. The largest gains in biome area occurred in desert vegetation and shrublands.
New bird discovered in Colombia imperiled by hydroelectric project
(08/19/2012) In a little-known dry forest in Colombia, scientists have discovered a new species of bird: the Antioquia wren (Thryophilus sernai). First seen in 2010, scientists photographed the new wren and recorded its vocalizations, from which they determined that the wren was brand new to science, according to a new paper in Auk.
Velociraptor spider discovered in Oregon cave (pictures)
(08/17/2012) Scouring the caves of Southwest Oregon, scientists have made the incredible discovery of a fearsome apex predator with massive, sickle claws. No, it's not the Velociraptor from Jurassic Park: it's a large spider that is so unique scientists were forced to create a new taxonomic family for it. This is the first new spider family to be discovered in North America in over 130 years. 'This is something completely new,' lead author of a paper on the species, Charles Griswold with the California Academy of Sciences, told SFGate. 'It's a historic event.'
Key mammals dying off in rainforest fragments
(08/15/2012) When the Portuguese first arrived on the shores of what is now Brazil, a massive forest waited for them. Not the Amazon, but the Atlantic Forest, stretching for over 1.2 million kilometers. Here jaguars, the continent's apex predator, stalked peccaries, while tapirs waded in rivers and giant anteaters unearthed termites mounds. Here, also, the Tupi people numbered around a million people. Now, almost all of this gone: 93 percent of the Atlantic Forest has been converted to agriculture, pasture, and cities, the bulk of it lost since the 1940s. The Tupi people are largely vanished due to slavery and disease, and, according to a new study in the open access journal PLoS ONE, so are many of the forest's megafauna, from jaguars to giant anteaters.
King of the jungle: lions discovered in rainforests
(08/13/2012) Calling the African lion (Panthera leo) the 'king of the jungle' is usually a misnomer, as the species is almost always found in savannah or dry forests, but recent photos by the Germany-based Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) document lions in Ethiopian rainforests. Taken in the Kafa Biosphere Reserve, the photos show a female lion hiding out in thick montane jungle.
Featured video: restoring rivers in the Tongass Rainforest
(08/08/2012) A new video highlights recent efforts to restore rivers in the Tongass Forest, the world's largest intact temperate rainforest. Industrial logging in vital watersheds have hurt salmon populations and other wildlife in the region, an issue the government, along with several partners, are now trying to rectify.
Rodent robbers fill role of mega mammals, help spread tropical trees
(08/07/2012) In order to disperse their seeds, large-fruited tropical trees probably relied on massive mammals that roamed the earth over 10,000 years ago. But with giants such as the mastodon now extinct, thieving rodents—who continually excavate and rebury others' seeds—may be filling their role, according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Beautiful new bird discovered in Peruvian cloud forest
(08/07/2012) Four years ago in a remote cloud forest in Peru's Cerros del Sira mountain range, three recently graduated students from Cornell University discovered a never-before-recorded species of black, white, and scarlet bird. Now described in the scientific journal, The Auk, the bird has been dubbed the Sira barbet (Capito fitzpatricki).
Cambodia's largest lowland rainforest spared from new land concessions
(08/06/2012) Four economic land concessions have been cancelled in Cambodia's Prey Lang forest, known as the largest intact lowland forest in Southeast Asia, reports the Phnom Penh Post. The economic land concessions, totaling over 40,000 hectares, would have been used for rubber plantations.
Brazil's deforestation rate still on decline in 2012?
(08/02/2012) Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon fell by more than a fifth for the 12-month period ending July 31, 2012, according to preliminary data released by Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE).
Mangroves should be part of solution to climate change
(08/02/2012) Mangroves are under-appreciated assets in the effort to slow climate change, argues a new Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences paper which makes a argument for including the coastal ecosystems in carbon credit programs.
Tigers vs. coal in India: when big energy meets vanishing cats
(08/01/2012) Burning coal fuels climate change, causes acid rain, and spreads toxic pollutants into the environment, but now a new Greenpeace report warns that coal may also imperil the world's biggest feline: the tiger. Home to world's largest population of tigers—in this case the Bengal subspecies (Panthera tigris tigris)—India is also the world's third largest coal producer. The country's rapacious pursuit of coal—it has nearly doubled production since 2007—has pushed the industry into tiger territory, threatening to destroy forests and fragment the tiger's already threatened population.
NASA images reveal massive forest die-off from tiny beetle
(07/31/2012) Satellite images highlighted by NASA this week reveal a massive forest die-off in Colorado due to severe pine park beetle infestations.
Forest cover falls 9% in East Africa in 9 years
(07/31/2012) Forest cover in East Africa has dropped by 9.3 percent from 2001-2009, according to a new paper published in the open-access journal PLoS ONE. Looking at 12 countries in the region, the scientists found that, worryingly, forests were particularly hard hit near protected areas. Usually thought of as a region of vast savannas, such as the Serengeti, East Africa is also home to incredibly biodiverse tropical forests, including coastal forests, rich montane forests, and the eastern portion of the Congo Rainforest.
'National scandal:' foreign companies stripped Papua New Guinea of community-owned forests
(07/30/2012) Eleven percent of Papua New Guinea's land area has been handed over to foreign corporations and companies lacking community representation, according to a new report by Greenpeace. The land has been granted under controversial government agreements known as Special Agricultural and Business Leases (SABLs), which scientists have long warned has undercut traditional landholding rights in the country and decimated many of Papua New Guinea's biodiverse rainforests. To date, 72 SABLs have been granted—mostly to logging companies—covering an area totaling 5.1 million hectares or the size of Costa Rica.
Chart: Tropical forest loss between 2000-2005
(07/29/2012) A study published last month in the journal Science came up with new estimates of tropical forest loss between 2000 and 2005. The research — led by Nancy Harris of Winrock International and also involving scientists from Applied GeoSolutions, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the University of Maryland — was based on analysis of remote sensing data calibrated with field studies.
Indigenous tribes hold 3 engineers hostage over Belo Monte dam
(07/26/2012) Three engineers are being held hostage by the Juruna and Arara indigenous tribes as tensions rise over the on-going construction of the Belo Monte dam in Brazil, reports the Indigenous rights NGO Amazon Watch. The company building the dam, Norte Energia, has confirmed that three of its employees were being held against their will. Tribal groups in the region say the massive dam will upend their way of life, and that construction is already making travel along the Xingu river difficult.
165,000 sq km of Colombian rainforest mapped in stunning detail using lasers, satellites
(07/25/2012) Scientists have created high-resolution carbon maps for 165,000 square kilometers (64,000 square miles) of forest across roughly 40 percent of the Colombian Amazon, greatly boosting the ability of the South American nation to measure emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, reports the Carnegie Institution for Science at Stanford University, which led the effort.
Saving 'Avatar Grove': the battle to preserve old-growth forests in British Columbia
(07/23/2012) A picture is worth a thousand words: this common adage comes instantly to mind when viewing T.J. Watt's unforgettable photos of lost trees. For years, Watt has been photographing the beauty of Vancouver Island's ancient temperate rainforests, and documenting their loss to clearcut logging. The photographer and environmental activist recently helped co-found the Ancient Forest Alliance (AFA), a group devoted to saving the island's and British Columbia's (BC) last old-growth while working with the logging industry to adopt sustainable practices. This February the organization succeeded in saving Avatar Grove—which was only discovered in 2009—from being clearcut. The grove, a rare stand of massive and ancient trees named after the popular eco science-fiction movie, has become a popular tourist destination, providing a new economic incentive for communities to protect rather than cut Canada's last great forests.
Smartphones promoted as a tool for indigenous forest protection
(07/23/2012) Smartphones beeping in the woods may be a welcome presence that augurs the increased ability of indigenous communities to be stewards of their own biodiverse forests. Representatives of these communities and their supporters have advocated that international conservation policies like Reduced Emissions through Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) be increasingly managed by the communities themselves.
Experts: sustainable logging in rainforests impossible
(07/19/2012) Industrial logging in primary tropical forests that is both sustainable and profitable is impossible, argues a new study in Bioscience, which finds that the ecology of tropical hardwoods makes logging with truly sustainable practices not only impractical, but completely unprofitable. Given this, the researchers recommend industrial logging subsidies be dropped from the UN's Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) program. The study, which adds to the growing debate about the role of logging in tropical forests, counters recent research making the case that well-managed logging in old-growth rainforests could provide a "middle way" between conservation and outright conversion of forests to monocultures or pasture.
Industrial logging leaves a poor legacy in Borneo's rainforests
(07/17/2012) For most people "Borneo" conjures up an image of a wild and distant land of rainforests, exotic beasts, and nomadic tribes. But that place increasingly exists only in one's imagination, for the forests of world's third largest island have been rapidly and relentlessly logged, burned, and bulldozed in recent decades, leaving only a sliver of its once magnificent forests intact. Flying over Sabah, a Malaysian state that covers about 10 percent of Borneo, the damage is clear. Oil palm plantations have metastasized across the landscape. Where forest remains, it is usually degraded. Rivers flow brown with mud.
Scientists propose a new way forward on orangutan conservation
(07/16/2012) Orangutans are in dire need of a revised conservation approach, according to a new study in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. While the plight of the species is widely recognized within the conservation community—receiving international attention in the form of scientific research, funding, and NGO efforts—the authors argue that "there has been frustratingly little progress."
Scientists slam Telegraph blogger's claims that climate change will be good for the Amazon
(07/12/2012) Recent blog posts on The Telegraph and the Register claiming that tropical rainforests like the Amazon are set to benefit from climate change are 'uninformed' and 'ridiculous' according to some of the world's most eminent tropical forest scientists. The posts, published Sunday and Monday by Tim Worstall, a Senior Fellow at London's Adam Smith Institute, asserted that a new Nature study indicates that 'climate change will mean new and larger tropical forests.' But some of the world's leading tropical forest experts took aim at Worstall's logic, noting the limitations of the study as well as the other factors that are endangering rainforests.
Still time to save most species in the Brazilian Amazon
(07/12/2012) Once habitat is lost or degraded, a species doesn't just wink out of existence: it takes time, often several generations, before a species vanishes for good. A new study in Science investigates this process, called "extinction debt", in the Brazilian Amazon and finds that 80-90 percent of the predicted extinctions of birds, amphibians, and mammals have not yet occurred. But, unless urgent action is taken, the debt will be collected, and these species will vanish for good in the next few decades.
Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, Peru get big boost in deforestation tracking, biomass measurement
(07/11/2012) Efforts to rapidly and accurately track deforestation and forest degradation in Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, and Peru got a boost this week with a special technical training session organized by the Governors Climate and Forest Task Force. The meeting, convened at Stanford University and Google's Silicon Valley campus, paired staffers from government agencies and NGOs in the four tropical countries with technical experts from the Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM), the Carnegie Institution for Science, the Forum on Readiness for REDD, Woods Hole Research Center, and Google Earth Outreach. The participants received training to augment existing deforestation, forest degradation and biomass monitoring capabilities, which are highly variable both between countries and within sub-national agencies and jurisdictions.
Building indigenous resilience in the face of land-grabbing, deforestation in Malaysian Borneo
(07/10/2012) In the 1980s images of loincloth-clad tribesmen blockading blocking logging roads in Malaysian Borneo shocked the world. But while their protests captured the spotlight momentarily, Borneo's forests continued to be destroyed at rapid rates, undermining traditional communities that are dependent on these ecosystems for food, shelter, medicine, clean water, and spiritual inspiration. Nomadic tribes are now but a memory in Borneo, but other tribal groups continue to fight for their forests by seeking legal recognition of their lands and blocking destructive projects, including oil palm plantations, logging operations, and large-scale hydroelectric projects. Helping them is The Borneo Project, a Berkeley-based non-profit that works in partnership with indigenous communities and the small non-profits that support them.
Google Earth used to discover unknown forest in Angola, scientists find it full of rare birds
(07/09/2012) An expedition, followed up by some computer hunting on Google Earth, has discovered large remnants of old growth forest, including thriving bird communities, in the mountains of Angola. The Namba Mountains in Angola were expected to contain around 100 hectares of forest, but an on-the-ground survey, coupled with online research, has discovered numerous forest fragments totaling around 590 hectares in the remote mountains, boosting the chances for many rare species.
Pre-industrial deforestation still warming atmosphere
(07/03/2012) Fossil fuels were not burned in massive quantities prior to the Industrial Revolution, but humans were still pumping carbon into the atmosphere due to land use change, especially deforestation. In fact, a new study in Environmental Research Letters finds that deforestation prior to 1850 is still heating up our atmosphere today.

Test System Setup
The test setup is typical for a server setup. The CPUs used in these tests are two Intel Xeon E5-2697 V2 CPUs.
This is the CPUz screen showing the various stats of the Xeon E5-2697 V2 CPUs. As you can see, this CPU has a max TDP of 130 watts. We will be using two CPUs, so that means a total of 24 cores and 48 threads.
The memory installed is 64GB of Kingston KVR16R11S4/8HA, CL11 1600MHz ValueRAM Server Premier Line. The memory modules are manufactured using a locked bill of materials (BOM), which is important to customers who use or build white box systems and require the brand and revision of the DRAM to always be the same.
Kingston can fully control the BOM (down to the chip die revision), and this is critical in server systems requiring maximum stability and uptime
For all tests that we ran, we used optimized BIOS settings for performance.

Who's the Boss? was a standard sitcom--turned on its
head. Sure, there was a mom, a dad, two cute kids, a house in the suburbs... and
a live studio audience. But Angela Bower (Judith Light) was a single advertising
exec with a son (Danny Pintauro) and Tony Micelli (Tony Danza) was a widowed
ex-ballplayer with a daughter (Alyssa Milano). The
Connecticut mansion belonged to Angela and Tony wasn't her boyfriend, but rather her housekeeper. Then
there was her mother, Mona (Katherine Helmond). The sexed-up,
slightly cracked grandmother is a primetime staple, but in the former Soap matriarch's hands, the character was a cut above.
As Angela complains to her in the pilot, "You've sent me a man for a
housekeeper!" "Oh, don't be sexist," Mona replies. "A man can do
meaningless, unproductive work just as well as a woman." Meaningless, unproductive work is what Tony does for the Bowers--and does
well--but he and Samantha (Milano) also become part of the family. Angela and
Tony go on a number of dates with other people, but there's an obvious sexual
tension between them. The show would continue to exploit that tension for eight
seasons to great success (even inspiring a British version called The Upper
Hand, with Honor Blackman as the "Mona" character).

Been a lonnnngg time since I have done anything with the site (aside from renewing the domain for another 2 years). Nearly a year since my last update in fact! 😮 I simply haven’t found the time lately with one thing or another. I have been unable to keep up with answering all the comments I receive too, simply due to the volume I get through (on here and Youtube), and I feel bad for this as I would like to help people out, that was the whole purpose of creating this site. I do however notice that most people have the same or similar issues so I figured it would be a good idea to try and address all queries by creating a FAQ page.
…..so here it is! I will add to it as I see different queries arise but for the meantime this should answer most questions. Of course there is the ‘Readme’ file that I always include with each build too so please check that out too as you may well find your answers in there.
I am also unsure how much interest there is in these type of builds any more? When I first made my own dual-boot image it was because I wanted KODI and RetroPie on 1 SD card, but I didn’t like the version of KODI that I was limited to in the ‘standard’ build (and it was buggy), so I found a way to package it together with OpenELEC instead, which at the time was a 10x improvement (for me at least), on the other KODI version. These days I don’t know if that is still the case? I personally use a dual-boot of LibreElec with RetroPie now and I’m more than happy with it, but is it better than the regular ‘KODI’ provided in RetroPie / Raspbian? I don’t know. And it is this type of question that makes me wonder; is still a need for this type of multiboot build? These builds are probably ‘frowned upon’ by the actual developers of the OS’s that I am packaging up too because they work in slightly different ways so need a slightly revised instruction set (hence this FAQ), so there is that too, but anyway – I would welcome any thoughts in the comment section below. I appreciate I probably have somewhat of a closed audience here (you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t want a multiboot OS after all!). :p
All the best, Steve
- Can I create a copy of my SD card? – Yes, and I would strongly recommend you do! I use ‘Win32 Disk Imager’ to make my backups in Windows.
- Can I resize the partitions after I have installed the image? – No, all partition sizing must be carried out prior to installing the images using the steps outlined in the ‘readme’ file. This is a feature of NOOBS which cannot be otherwise avoided.
- Can I update the OS(s) when a new version comes out? – Yes, you can update each OS in the normal manner which will be detailed on their website. You may need to use FTP / Samba / SSH, or a Linux PC if you need to transfer files to the OS. I strongly recommend creating a backup of your SD card before you attempt any such changes.
- What are the SSH / FTP login details for the OS(s)? – The login details can be found on the official website for each OS.
- I have lost the add-ons that allow me to switch partition in KODI, can I get them back? – Yes, you can find my add-ons at multibootpi.com/addons/ – add this as a source in file manager and then install as you would a normal add-on. Now you can add a shortcut onto the home screen if desired (they will be in ‘Programs’).
- I changed theme / updated in RetoPie and lost access to a partition switching script, can I get it back? – Yes, the script will still be present in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ in a folder with the OS name (i.e. kodi, raspbian etc.) so you can either amend the new theme to create an entry for the OS that is missing, or you can just copy the script into the ‘ports’ folder instead.
- How do I overclock the Pi using a multiboot image? – You will need to overclock each OS separately by editing the individual ‘config.txt’ file for each. If you place the SD card into a Windows PC it will only show the boot partition for NOOBS (you don’t want to edit this). The easiest way to overclock is by using SSH and then using a text editor to edit the file. For example, when you have the RetroPie partition loaded, type in
sudo nano /boot/config.txt(the boot partition is mounted to /boot/ at startup in RetroPie).
- How can I set up my Pi LCD screen to a multiboot image? – As above you will need to edit your config.txt file for each partition separately whilst in that OS (I find it easiest to use SSH). Your screen should come with instructions on what text needs to be added into the config.txt file.
- I have no sound in an OS(s), how can I fix this? – This is again something that will require tweaks within the config.txt file. For specific config.txt teaks, including sound settings, please visit https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/ and check out both ‘Video’ and ‘Audio’ sections to help with sound issues.
- I want to get back to the NOOBS OS selection screen, how do I do this? – To do this you need to remove a file in the NOOBS partition that prevents a partition being booted at launch. You can do this via SSH on the Pi by typing this into the console:
#this creates a mountpoint for the noobs partition – skip this step if you already have a mountpoint you prefer to use
sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 NOOBS/
sudo rm NOOBS/autoboot.txt
Now the next time you reboot you will be presented with the NOOBS OS selection screen. Please note if you are using OpenELEC or LibreELEC then you will not need to use ‘sudo’ as you are alsready logged in as root / superuser by default.
- Will you be making some new versions of multiboot images? – Yes, when I get time to do it. Very busy with work and home at the moment, so apologies for lack of updates. 🙁 I would welcome any requests for improvements however in the meantime. 🙂

RANDOMLY IN BARCELONA WHEN…
Catalan Declaration of Independence 10/27/17
This is one of the dishes I had in Barcelona during a long weekend in the end of October 2017. This is from . I have been also at Vegetalia and Teresa Carles . In that period I was strictly vegan, and these restaurants were perfect! Petit Brot
When I woke up the first day, I visited firstly the “Font màgica de Montjuïc”. It was a really magical place!
Later, I walked to Park Güell designed by Antoni Gaudí. While we were getting there, we suddenly heard some shots. We found out only later that…
Catalonia had just declared its independence from Spain. Here we were enjoying the celebration of Catalans. The newspaper from Italy said that it was dangerous, but actually it wasn’t at all! Just very emotional to be there while the history was making itself!
The day after, we went to Tibidabo attractions park on the Tibidabo hill. The park is very entertaining and you can also enjoy a stunning view of Barcelona. Just remember to check and buy the tickets in advance!
After the visit at the attractions park, we went to my favorite monument in the world: the Sagrada Familia Church. No words to describe it!
Still strong after the long day, we went to a club along the beach. In the picture, W Hotel Barcelona.
The last day I did what I love to do anywhere: loosing myself without any specific destinations, and… I found myself in one of the most known spot in Barcelona!

Joe Nathan is still likely headed for season-ending Tommy John surgery, but Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that the Twins’ closer will give his injured elbow “a vigorous test” by playing catch Saturday.
Complicating matters is that Nathan was “bedridden Saturday and Sunday with a virus and still had a sore throat Monday.” The larger issue, of course, is his torn ulnar collateral ligament, which few pitchers have ever been able to pitch through. However, given that he’d likely be sidelined for at least 12 months following surgery Nathan sees no harm in trying anything possible to avoid going under the knife:
When I feel loose, if I do get loose, I definitely want to test this thing as much as I can for Day 1 and see how it feels. This is going to be something where there shouldn’t be a gray area. It’s going to be I feel great, or this just isn’t me, this doesn’t feel right.
Whatever happens in my career, I tell everybody you’ve gotta look at the bright side. For me, if the worst-case does happen, I see it as a chance to prolong my career. I see it as a chance to give myself a new arm and pitch for another five years after this. That’s the worst-case scenario for me, coming back in 2011 with a brand new arm.
While visiting Twins camp last week Craig saw first-hand how well Nathan handled news of the injury and looking at the bright side is always a good approach, but in reality “the worst-case scenario” isn’t “coming back in 2011 with a brand new arm.” The worst-case scenario for a 35-year-old who undergoes Tommy John surgery is never pitching again and even if things go reasonably well in his recovery missing a big chunk of 2011 is a strong possibility.

Ten Ways to use ERP to Lean the Manufacturing Supply Chain
There are entire books, thorough training and certification processes all devoted to lean supply chain practices. But within any manufacturing environment, there are a few relatively simple steps that will help any enterprise lean their supply chain. Lean in a supply chain context is about a holistic view of procurement, manufacturing distribution and sales order processing.
This means that some level of enterprise technology is necessary to view the organization in an integrated context instead of as functional islands. However, before technology can facilitate the lean supply chain, manufacturing executives need to start thinking in lean supply chain terms. In this white paper, we will touch on these simple measures, measures that any company can take.
To learn more, read this whitepaper.

Jimmy Crikey's Adventures in Parallel Worlds by Wallace E. Briggs is part of The Adventures of Jimmy Crikey series. Earth has been invaded by an alien species, called Wormz, that goes up against the guardians working to keep the planet safe. Jimmy develops a plan to retrieve help from Attalia by embarking on a trip through space. Along his journey, he discovers a stowaway – the witch-in-training Jade. The trip through space quickly veers off course when the alien worms attack them, only for them to be rescued by allies and taken to Attalia. Jimmy and Jade work alongside President Alpha, who assigns his scientists to seek a solution against the Wormz which may be the only chance the guardians have to save the planet. When a solution has been achieved, Jimmy has to make his way back to earth, but the journey back is just as dangerous as Jade's life soon hangs in the balance with the scientists scrambling to save her just as Jimmy needs her help the most.
Wallace E. Briggs delivers a story that blends humor with action moments that create a fitting next adventure in Jimmy's journey. Jimmy's life has become a series of adventures that take him between parallel worlds in a journey that has explored his own origins since discovering more about his family. Jimmy is an orphan that has found a place for himself in the Roombelow and has since learned more about himself as a hero. The aliens are immediately introduced as a threat after he fails to communicate with them about their intentions and gets attacked without provocation. This science fiction adventure weaves in elements that serve as a foray into the genre for young adult readers and broaden the world with an aesthetic of space, bringing the setting to life. Each character plays a role within the adventure to help Jimmy fight against the alien worms, such as the four witches that are an important part of the story. The kind heart and heroic spirit he possesses come from those that surround him during his adventures. In a humorous science fiction adventure, Jimmy Crikey's Adventures in Parallel Worlds has action-packed moments, space travel, and alien worms.

“Another game on the iPhone” isn’t much news, but when the game that’s being talked about is Final Fantasy, you’ll need to sit up and pay attention. For those of you who have played Final Fantasy before, you’ll know what we’re talking about; and if you haven’t played it before, you really should. The creators of the game, Square Enix, has a site proclaiming that Final Fantasy will be making it to the App Store soon, though there hasn’t been any official word of a release date or price point. From the screenshots, you can see that the game still looks old, as it is a rather old game, but the content should be just as good and satisfying. Do you use your iPhone as a gaming device, or is it just another iPod to you?

Today a statement from the university confirmed that we have defeated TeachHigher.
The scheme, which was little more than a badly disguised attack on vulnerable staff, is not going ahead.
This is, however, not enough. Halting the pilot is a first step towards better working conditions for hourly paid workers, it must be followed by concrete improvements. UCU are demanding that the university place hourly-paid staff on fractional contracts that give them the same pay, conditions and rights as those on open-ended contracts, and of course, we whole heartedly support them.
Fighting together, as students and staff, we can win. It is possible to reshape the university. Warwick For Free Education looks forward to the many more victories to come.

Film reviewers are calling Blade Runner 2049 the hallucinogenic experience of the year but it seems safe to assume none of them has spent the length of that movie poring over the permutations in the last two round of World Cup qualifying games. They are, in short, quite complicated.
The Republic of Ireland, we know, are scrapping for second place in Group D in the hope of securing a place in the playoffs but one runner-up will still miss out with the nine due to be ranked on the basis of their results against the sides that finished first, third, fourth and fifth in their respective groups. So here is how is it shaping up . . .
As things stand, the Welsh are second with 14 points but only eight have come against top five sides and Chris Coleman’s side are currently last, behind Bosnia and Herzegovina on goal difference, in the table of second-placed teams.
Ireland could, in theory, leapfrog them without winning in Cardiff if the Welsh fail to win in Tbilisi. In reality, though, Martin O’Neill’s men most likely need to win the game regardless so as to bolster their position in the playoff table.
Though the 11 points (and goal difference of plus one) that a draw would put them on could be enough to get them into the knockout round assuming things went well in other groups, it is unlikely. Ireland could actually still win both games then bow out. Assuming they do win both games and the margin of victory on Monday is a single goal then they will have 13 points in the playoff table and a goal difference of plus two. They will then need at least one second-placed side to be worse off than that from their games against the team that finish first, third, fourth and fifth in their group.
Sweden are currently second but could yet overhaul France. If they did, and the French somehow lost both of their remaining games – Bulgaria (away) and Belarus (home) – then it would most likely change the order of things at the foot of the table and so alter which results count in the ranking of second-placed sides. And if all of that came to pass, Didier Deschamps’s side would end up on 13 points but still almost certainly have a better goal difference than Ireland.
The Swedes have currently 10 points in the playoff table with games at home to Luxembourg then away to the Dutch to come. The game against Luxembourg will count as things stand with a win taking them to 13 points and improving their current plus three goal difference. They previously drew 1-1 with the Netherlands who may well go into this game needing a huge win to snatch second place. That, though, looks pretty unlikely to happen.
Portugal and Switzerland are still contesting top spot but whichever of them misses out will be in the playoffs.
Northern Ireland are unlikely to catch Germany but are guaranteed at least second place. They currently have 13 points in the playoff table and a goal difference of plus seven with Germany at home then Norway away to come. Clearly a hammering by the World champions could place them in a little bit of peril going into their last game but they currently look pretty good.
Poland look set to win this group but if they are caught, and finish second, then they will be in the playoffs. The more likely contenders are Denmark and Montenegro who are tied for second both on points and goal difference.
In terms of the playoff table, the Danes have the better goal difference – six versus three. The two rivals play each other in Podgorica next, after which the Danes face Romania at home, the Montenegrins have Poland away.
In the event that the game between them ends in a draw, it is not at all inconceivable that another point would be enough for Denmark to finish second in which case they would have only 12 points in the playoff table. That’s very much a best-case scenario for Ireland, though.
England have all but won this group but it’s very tight after that with Slovakia leading Slovenia and Scotland by a point. The Slovaks look well placed to hold on to second place as they have Malta at home to come in their last game but if the Scots can beat them in Glasgow then they will most likely go to Slovenia knowing a win would guarantee them second place (theoretically, a draw could be enough).
With a win, the Scots would end up with 14 points in the playoff table. The Slovaks currently have 12 and the game against Malta is ultimately not going to count for anything so they can only add to that next time out. If they draw in Scotland but come second in the group they would end up with 13 which their current goal difference of plus six suggests would be enough to finish ahead of Ireland.
Spain are three points clear with Albania at home then Israel away to come which points to Italy winding up in second place.
In playoff terms the Azzurri currently have 13 points and a plus three goal difference with games against Macedonia at home and Albania away, both of which will count, to come. They are, in other words, of no interest to us.
Belgium have already qualified. Second place looks to be between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Greece although Cyprus aren’t entirely out of it.
Of the better placed two, the Bosnians lead their rivals by a point but have to play Belgium at home before travelling to Estonia. The Greeks visit Cyprus before hosting Gibraltar.
In terms of the playoffs, the Bosnians currently have eight points with those two games to come, the Greeks 10 with just one that is going to count. They currently have goal differences of plus two and three respectively. There are a couple of ways in which this group could produce a second-placed team with just 10 playoff table points, a scenario that makes Ireland progressing with just a draw in Cardiff possible but something in the 11-14 point range looks more likely.
Still, this could be a key group for Ireland and it does not conclude until Tuesday.
This is another tight one but Croatia and Iceland are best placed to take the top two spots. They are currently tied on 16 points apiece with one relatively straightforward and one tricky game to come.
Their better goal difference, though, means Croatia have to slip up. If they do, it could be interesting as they have 10 playoff points and plus two goal difference with games in Finland and at home to Ukraine to come. If not, Iceland already have 13 points and a plus three goal difference with Turkey (away) to come.
It is hard to see Turkey or Ukraine nicking second spot without winning their last two games and in both instances that would leave them with 14 playoff points.

I read in the Chronicle a few days ago that the Center for the Study of Education Policy has issued a major (92 page) report on state appropriations for higher education, showing that appropriations have fallen relative to state output levels, relative to costs, etc., over the period 1979 to 2004. The report laments this, discusses strategies to restore appropriations growth, calls for developing new champions for higher education, etc., etc. While the statistics in the report are interesting and revealing, the recommendations themselves are bad, bad, bad, bad.
There is no real discussion of the reason costs are rising in higher education, the decline in productivity, etc. The study accepts this as a given, and that somehow we must meet the financial needs of this inefficient system without question in order to maintain and improve student access (never mind the fact that over 40 percent of students entering four year schools have not graduated within six years). There is no discussion of the rent-seeking behavior that has led to falling teaching loads and rising compensation, particularly at the research-oriented institutions.
Moreover, the Whiz Kids and I are in a very elaborate and intense research exercise looking at the relationship of educational appropriations to economic growth. Jonathan Leirer, in particular, is running pooled cross section/time series regressions with well over 1,000 observations, spanning a good deal of time and space. We are working on a major study-- CCAP's first-- on this topic. Suffice it to say here that we will not accept the hypothesis that is widely assumed to be true, namely that state appropriations for higher education are positively associated with economic growth. In fact, we will actually go farther than that, I think, but I should be cautious until we complete our rather extensive econometric analysis.
Indeed, what we are finding so far is that the behavior of states towards universities --gradually reducing their spending in relation to personal income, state output, or state budgets -- is actually good, not only politically, but economically as well. Why take funds away from hard working people who earned their money in the highly efficient market-based competitive market sector and give them to people who are operating an enterprise that is falling in productivity, that has no bottom line, that is largely unaccountable to anyone, etc., etc. etc.? Why allow the inefficient Soviet-style sectors to crowd out activity in the productive market-based economy?
We love universities, and I, for one, started attending one nearly one-half century ago and liked it so much that I never left the academy, still teaching more than 10,000 students later (not to mention doing research that most university persons wish I would stop doing). But the actions of legislators, rather than a sign of shortsightedness and neglect of our nation's future, may actually be a necessary and desirable action which, in time, will force some needed efficiencies into the delivery of higher educational services.

2017’s Logan marked the end of Hugh Jackman’s tenure as Wolverine, but it also opened the door for another character to take center stage in the X-Men franchise for years to come… or at least, that’s how it initially seemed. Logan introduced the eponymous character’s biological daughter Laura, better known to comics fans as X-23. Following Logan’s release, there was talk about Dafne Keen reprising X-23 in her own spinoff, but the actress’ latest update on the project doesn’t bode well for it moving forward.
I got told by some people at Fox that there might be another one, but this was ages ago when we were filming, and they haven't contacted me ever again.
A few months after Logan came out, director James Mangold, who helmed the third Wolverine move, said there’d been discussions about delivering an X-23 spinoff. When we left off with Laura at the end of Logan, she’d buried her father, who was fatally injured during the battle with the feral X-24 clone, and left with the other young mutants to cross the Canadian border. So the path was certainly clear for Laura to embark on her own adventures.
However, a lot has changed on the X-Men front since Logan’s release, particularly with Disney having acquired 20th Century Fox. As a result, Marvel Studios now has access to the X-Men and Fantastic Four properties, and while no specific plans have been announced for them yet, it’s expected that they’ll be rebooted to fit within the Marvel Cinematic Universe continuity (with the exception of Ryan Reynolds returning as the fourth wall-breaking Deadpool). As such, the chances of the X-23 spinoff happening seem unlikely, though Dafne Keen would certainly be game to keep playing the character. In her words:
I feel like we're just at the beginning, there’s more to be told, and it's a relay race. I come into play when they've already written and done pre-production and decided on doing the film, so as soon as they say, ‘go,’ I'll happily go whenever.
Had Disney not purchased Fox, it certainly sounds like the X-23 movie stood a legitimate chance of getting the green light alongside other X-Men spinoffs, including Gambit, X-Force and two New Mutants sequels. Alas, with Dark Phoenix having brought the main film series to both a critically and commercially disappointing end, and The New Mutants having also failed to impress earlier this year, it looks like this superhero movie era is coming to a close. Unless Disney announces that it’s recruiting Dafne Keen to help headline its upcoming X-Men fare as X-23, presumably we can count the actress’ outing as Laura to be a one-and-done experience.
For now, you can catch Dafne Keen in His Dark Materials, which airs Monday nights on HBO Max. Keep your eyes peeled on CinemaBlend for X-Men-related news, and look through our Marvel movies guide to learn what the MCU has planned for the coming years.

Munster appoint Penney as new boss
May 2, 2012
Rob Penney has experienced huge success with Canterbury © Getty Images
Munster have unveiled Canterbury's Rob Penney as their new head coach.
Penney has experienced huge success at Canterbury where he scooped four successive ITM Cups from between 2008 and 2011. Penney also boasts Super Rugby experience after acting as assistant coach to Robbie Deans with the Crusaders in 2005.
The 48-year-old will coach the New Zealand Under-20 side in the 2012 Junior World Championships in South Africa this summer and will then link-up with his new side on a two-year deal, subject to a work permit.
Penney was believed to be part of a three-horse race for the Munster job with former All Blacks centre Tana Umaga and ex-Munster forward Anthony Foley both in the frame to replace the outgoing Tony McGahan. But Foley will remain as forwards coach and Munster have also said that further change within the backroom staff will occur once Penney has arrived.
Munster's CEO Garrett Fitzgerald said of the appointment: "We conducted a thorough search to find a replacement for Tony McGahan and were delighted with the calibre of the candidates. Rob Penney's record speaks for itself and we look forward to welcoming him to Munster."

Thoughts and Reflections
The language of this book is quite simple and unremarkable. However, the plot was captivating. I found myself quickly caught up in Dora's story and in the issues of the day, from a global women's movement to the everyday happenings in a sleepy town in Nova Scotia, Canada.
In many ways, the reader is able to identify with and become attached to Dora, the protagonist. The reader walks through many experiences with her, is revealed her private journal, tastes her pain and happiness. Yet, Dora still, somehow, remains a bit of a mystery, a shadow in her community, simply floating through life. She is a interesting character, but not overly complex. At certain moments in her life, I felt great regret for her. She is an avid reader, reading such books as Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights. In many ways, her story reminded me of the protagonists in these books. The reader is made aware what an unpleasant path the protagonist is on, knowing a better path exists, but can only observe as she carries along her course. Yet, the reader persists and watches the protagonist come through her trials one way or the other. Dora lives a hard life, but still a good life.
At first, I thought this was a book for women. Everything about it targets a female audience. In many ways, it is. However, as I read, about half way through, it hit me that the book is about women. I'm an not an expert on the suffragette movement or the plight of women in the early 1900s, but, as far as I can tell, the author does a remarkable job of informing the reader about what it was to be a woman at that time. I was often exploding with frustration, ready to shout at the page, for how silent the women were, how submissive they were to men, even if it put them in harms way. For instance, birth control of any kind was illegal at the time. Women had little choice but to have child after child or sneak to the midwife for a baby-preventing brew. Condoms were considered items for whores. Strong, uncompromising women would take a beating from their husband or turn a blind eye when he sleeps with another woman. My blood boiled when women were dismissed as being neurotic or hysterical, lacking enough sense to know what's good for them. The women in this novel were caught in this strange time when women were beginning to learn about their voices and were at long last being heard. The book does not directly discuss the suffragette movement, but rather how the movement began to affect people's lives and mentality even up in the sleepy town of Scots Bay and through a issues as ordinary as midwifery and child bearing.
All told, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I was surprised by its substance and was even sad as it concluded (despite the pleasant ending). I would recommend this novel, but certainly encourage the reader to keep reading if they are discouraged by what initially seems like kitsch!
The Birth House is the story of Dora, a 17 year old girl in the early 1900s in Scots Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada. She is the only girl out of 6 boys. Due to circumstance, she moved in with the local mid-wife and begins being taught in the ways of midwifery. The small community of Scots Bay encounter a number of events, which bring change to this town of traditions, not the least of these events are WWI and the suffragette movement. The story follows Dora as she grows into womanhood and struggles to make her way in the town of her birth in changing times.
About the Author
Ami McKay was born and raise in rural Indiana. She completed an undergraduate degree in Musical Education and Master's degree in musicology from Indiana State University. After completing her degrees she moved to Chicago to become a music teacher at an inner city high school. During this time she began writing, but her busy life as a teacher and single mother prevented her from being able to focus on her writing. She moved to Scots Bay, Nova Scotia in 2000. Fortunately, due to long delays in her immigration process, she was at last able to focus on her writing. She began by writing thank you letters to people she didn't know, which resulted in her making an appearance on Oprah. She eventually began writing and producing documentaries for CBC and doing other freelance work. In 2003 she won an apprenticeship in the Writers Federation of Nova Scotia, which allowed her to work on The Birth House. The Birth House was her debut novel, being published in 2006 and becoming a number one Canadian best seller.
Things I Enjoyed about this Novel
1. Dora. I found myself quite caught up in Dora's story. She was an endearing character, for whom I hoped the best. I wanted to fight with her in her trials, was frustrated with her when she was stuck and voiceless, and was quite pleased with how things turned out for her.
2. Miss B. This is an entirely unique character. I truly enjoyed her.
3. The ladies from away. Pure gold.

World champion bull rider Shane Proctor will have surgery in North Carolina
COLORADO SPRINGS – World Champion Bull Rider Shane Proctor will be meeting with Dr. Stephen Sims in Charlotte, N.C., tomorrow to schedule surgery to repair his broken left arm. Proctor suffered the injury in the 10th round of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo on Dec. 10 when he was bucked off Powder River Rodeo’s Black Attack and then stepped on by the bull; he also received a concussion.
The Justin Sportsmedicine Team X-rayed Proctor at the Thomas & Mack Center and put him in touch with Dr. Sims, an orthopedic surgeon. Proctor wanted to have the operation done close to his home in Mooresville, N.C. He and his wife Jessi are scheduled to move into a new home early next week.
Proctor is expected to miss a minimum of three months while he recovers from the injury to his free arm.
Bareback rider Steven Peebles, who broke the fibula in his right leg in Round 5 of the Wrangler NFR, is to undergo surgery tomorrow in Seattle. He also tore ligaments in his right ankle.
Doctors estimate he will be sidelined for at least two months.
Three other competitors suffered broken bones in their feet during the 53rd Wrangler NFR – saddle bronc riders Chuck Schmidt and Jacobs Crawley and bull rider J.W. Harris. None is expected to have surgery and should be able to compete again within 6-8 weeks.

In the Shadow of Hitler: Alabama's Jews, the Second World War, and the Holocaust
Dan J. Puckett (Autor)
DescripciónIn the Shadow of Hitler is the first comprehensive state study of how southern Jews-and non-Jews-dealt with the coming of the Good War and the Nazi persecution of European Jews.
In 1982, the Orthodox congregation of Ahavas Chesed in Mobile, Alabama, reconsecrated a Torah scroll from the Altneuschule in Prague, Czechoslovakia, that had been seized by the Nazis in the midst of the Holocaust. The Nazis, over the course of their occupation of Czechoslovakia, confiscated from Jewish communities throughout Bohemia and Moravia 1,564 Torahs, among numerous other Judaic ceremonial objects. The Nazis had the Torahs catalogued and planned to exhibit them after the war in a museum to the extinct Jewish race. Ahavas Chesed acquired the Altneuschule scroll from the Czech Memorial Scrolls Trust to honour the members of those communities who had perished in the camps.
Dan J. Puckett's In the Shadow of Hitler examines the Jews of Alabama and shows that they were fully aware of events that affected Jews both nationally and internationally. Although Alabama's Jewish community was divided between Central and Eastern European and Sephardic backgrounds and cultures, and the Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox traditions, the Nazi persecution of the Jews in Europe forced this disparate Jewish community to put aside its differences and work together to aid and save European Jewry. In doing so, Alabama's Jews not only effectively lobbied influential politicians on the local, state, and national level, and swayed the opinions of newspaper editors, Christian groups, and the general public, but their cooperation also built bridges that spanned the cultural and religious divides within their own community.
In the Shadow of Hitler illustrates how this intracommunity cooperation, the impact of the war and the murder of six million European Jews, and the establishment of the state of Israel built the foundation for closer cultural and religious cooperation in Alabama in the decades that followed.
