Amended O'Bannon filing has highly charged allegations
- In addition to active athletes joining lawsuit%2C plaintiffs escalate contentious fight
- Former NCAA president Myles Brand said in 2008 that likeness has property value
- Plaintiffs allege EA modeled avatars after players
In addition to adding active players to a lawsuit against the NCAA and two co-defendants concerning the use of college athletes' names and likenesses, lawyers for the plaintiffs in the case amended their complaint by adding a series of new, highly charged allegations.
They mention specific alleged actions not only by the NCAA, but also by each of the other defendants, video game manufacturer Electronic Arts and the nation's leading collegiate trademark licensing and marketing firm, Collegiate Licensing Co (CLC). Even the comments of a former NCAA president, the late Myles Brand, were spotlighted.
Some of the new allegations were included because in a ruling July 5 that allowed the addition of the new plaintiffs and the amended complaint, U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken expressly let the plaintiffs' lawyers address some of the arguments that had made by the NCAA, EA and CLC.
But the new material is likely to further escalate what has become an increasingly contentious fight – a development that Wilken might not have anticipated when she also wrote July 5 that the defendants "need not file new answers to the amended pleading unless they would like to respond to specific new allegations made by" the plaintiffs.
NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osburn said Thursday that the association "will reserve comment until we have had time to read the amended complaint."
And there was plenty to read, including allegations that:
-- Brand in "public remarks" in 2008, "conceded" that "(t)he right to license or sell one's name, image, and likeness is a property right with economic value."
This addresses an argument by the NCAA during a June hearing on whether the case should be certified as a class action that various state laws and legal precedents say that athletes have no property rights for appearing in live, unscripted events – and thus have nothing that the NCAA or the schools are infringing upon when it comes to game telecasts and re-broadcasts.
-- EA and CLC allegedly "actively lobbied for, and obtained, administrative interpretations of those rules that permitted greater uncompensated exploitation of student-athletes' names, images, and likenesses. Where their formal efforts were unsuccessful, EA and CLC obtained agreement from the NCAA to permit greater uncompensated exploitation of student-athletes' names, images, and likenesses notwithstanding the rules."
This addresses an argument by EA and CLC that, as business partners of the NCAA, they were simply following the association's rules pertaining to the use of athletes' names and likenesses, so the plaintiffs have no right of action against them.
And there was more on this topic, as the plaintiffs' lawyers work to make a case that there was a conspiracy among the NCAA, EA and CLC "to usurp the student-athletes' name, image and likeness rights without compensation to the athletes."
In August 2007, when licensing of video games was being negotiated, EA allegedly "offered to establish a 'players' fund' for the use of the (student-athletes') names, images, and likenesses. CLC, negotiating on the NCAA's behalf, instead suggested that the money should go to the NCAA. EA agreed to pay a kicker to the NCAA in order 'to align interests and incentivize all parties to help build the category with new rights.' EA made this offer contingent on 'no royalties ... to a player fund.' "
While other allegations raised in Thursday's filing had been mentioned in various previous filings, the new complaint pulled them together in a comprehensive way.
For example, the amended complaint alleges:
-- "Cory Moss, Senior Vice-President of CLC, wrote in 2009, soon after the O'Bannon lawsuit was filed, that '(s)hould we really begin work on a formal College Student Athlete Players Association (current and former) to be ready depending on the results of the EA lawsuits?' The proposed CSAPA would have a Board of Directors and would do 'whatever is necessary to ensure that licensing and marketing rights of former collegiate student-athletes are protected and revenue opportunities are pursued.' "
-- "All of EA's video game avatars were modeled in the same way and were tied to the characteristics of actual student-athletes, and show that EA wanted to use the names, images, and likenesses of all student-athletes incorporated in its video games. The NCAA knew that student-athletes' names, images, and likenesses were used, but approved the practice even though its attempt to get 'expanded waivers' via bylaw changes failed."
-- "EA developed its NCAA-themed basketball and football video games by modeling every single avatar in the games on a real student athlete. EA tested how gamers rated the avatars: 'how closely players look and feel (to) their real-life counterparts.' EA noted 'legal restrictions' internally but emphasized that '(m)atching hair and body type' were permissible — and paramount. It painstakingly modeled each avatar to match a current or former student-athlete. EA's internal spreadsheets show that each avatar was matched to dozens of the real student-athlete's identifying characteristics."
-- "Former NCAA President Brand and (former NCAA marketing executive Greg) Shaheen made it clear to EA and CLC that they were 'on board' with EA's desire to use student-athletes' names, images, and likenesses. Throughout the Class Period, NCAA administrators noted 'real concern' that use of student-athletes' names, images, and likenesses in video games 'adds to the argument that student-athletes should be unionized and receive a cut of the profits, etc.'
"Numerous NCAA employees -- including those that were technically in charge of approving EA's video games -- knew that the video games were depicting real (student-athletes), but were overruled by Brand and Shaheen.
"For example, Peter Davis, the former NCAA Director of Corporate Alliances, admitted that there are 'likenesses of student-athletes' in the video game. At least five other high-level NCAA employees expressed concern about the 'obvious' use of likenesses. Despite these numerous internal misgivings, Brand and Shaheen were undeterred. ... Shaheen also worked "behind the scenes" to obtain a series of increasingly liberal "interpretations" of existing bylaws to give EA what it wanted."

Where do you find all these marvelously clever men?
I had two jokes die on me yesterday when people inexplicably took me seriously. Thank heavens they were relatively clean ones . . .
The cleverest thing I've seen lately is the promotional video for a new free app reminder for self-breast checks -- seriously, I laughed so hard I woke the kids. I think it's exactly your kind of cheese, Tawna:

That's hilarious! I love quick-witted people.
We had a squirrel stuck in our fireplace and I had to have two wildlife rescue men get it out. They were having a hard time. I asked, "Should I act like a nut to coax him out?" No response! :)

It used to happen to me more often when I actually made clever jokes about sex to friends aloud. Now I try to keep them to myself, mumbling and chuckling silently like a just-released schizophrenic. But your story makes me wonder if I should be sharing the humor with people I don't know. If it falls flat, who cares? I'll find another audience. (My husband appreciates my jokes at least.)

When I recently went in for an emergency appendectomy (while in another state, but at least where I have friends) and I was in the pre-op room, I started to cry because my mom wasn't there and wouldn't be there afterward (just a year since she died).
So I get into the operating room and I'm still leaking tears and the anesthesiologist says "you have to tell us a joke", like it's the usual thing they do with everyone. So I use my old standby, a tame yet risque joke. About half the people laughed and amazingly, I wasn't crying afterward! Smart man, that anesthesiologist (who did laugh).

When that happens to me, I always have the urge to start quoting Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc. "These are the jokes, KID." Next step: whacking myself in the face with the microphone. THAT, they love. "Thank you very much, folks, I'll be here all week!"

Hey, Skye? You wouldn't happen to have been in Tennessee, would you? Because when I had my gallbladder removed a couple years ago, I had to tell a joke before they'd start the procedure too. And I wasn't even crying.

Julie, you never know who'll appreciate the filth!
Skye, ((hugs)) on the surgery and your mom, but how wonderful that doctor saw the value in humor!
Delphine, I've never seen Monsters, Inc. Will have to check it out.
Jenna, small world with the joke-telling doctors!
Matthew, cross my heart and hope to die, the chart really had STD in the last line. There was one other letter at the beginning of the row….maybe an F or something. But I definitely saw STD.
Diane, why suppress? Let it aaaaaaaaaallllll out!!!
The Sprouting Acorn, I got a survey a couple days later asking me to rate my customer service rep on a scale of 1 to 10. Suffice it to say, he got a 10.
Kristina, I live to make you giggle :)
Writer Pat Newcombe, I know there are times people wonder if I make this stuff up to get the laugh. As God is my witness, I really did attempt to test the "face time" feature while peeing right after I got the phone. Next thing I knew, I was looking at a video of my face and the phone told me it was dialing someone. Yikes!
Jill, interesting! Once upon a time, I had a number of editors suggest I should dumb down my humor. I didn't listen.
Mary Kate, ha! I'm thinking I need a husband like I need a hole in the head right now.
Thanks for reading, guys!

I love banter. Wit for the win! And I laughed at the STD comment, Tawna.
I work at a bookstore (yay). Most recently I was standing at the cash registers with my coworker, it was a slow day, so I said, "Apparently they're paying me to stand here and look pretty." He said something like, "You've got that covered."
We then had a conversation about how awkward it could be having to work in the Sex books section. He had some good customer service stories. Apparently there's a series of how-to books. With LEVELS. My coworker had to say, with a completely straight face, "I'm sorry, sir, we're out of the intermediate edition, but we have it for beginners and advanced."

Early morning Israeli airstrike in Rafah, Southern Gaza | AFP/ Getty Images/ Said Khatib
14 people were killed on Friday evening due to ongoing Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. Medical sources report that 121 people have been killed since the beginning of the operation. The UN has stated that more than three quarters of the total death count were civilians.
"The objective is to restore quiet to the cities of Israel, and I intend to achieve this objective" said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a press conference on Friday evening.
Despite pressure from the international community for Israel to stop the assault on Gaza the operation has continued unabated. Israel maintains its operation isn't targeting innocents and claims that Hamas is using civilians as human shields.
Among the 14 slain on Friday, three men were killed by an Israeli raid on a park in the al-Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City. Gaza health ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra, said it took several hours to identify the victims because the missiles tore them to pieces.
Three Palestinian fighters affiliated to the al-Mujahadin Brigades were killed in western Gaza City.
Two young disabled women were killed when an aircraft targeted a charitable organization for handicapped people in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza.
Four men were killed in Martyr Anwar Aziz Square in the center of Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza strip.
Israeli warplanes targeted businesses, homes and the al-Farouq mosque in Nuseirat refuge camp. The home of Issam Dalees, former political advisor to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, was targeted in the Nuseirat refugee camp and the home of senior Hamas leader Yahya al-Sinwar, also in the Nuseirat refugee camp, was destroyed.
In Khan Younis, southern Gaza, Israeli warplanes bombarded the main branch of the Islamic National Bank.
The border between Egypt and Gaza in Rafah (southern Gaza) was briefly opened on Thursday to allow Palestinians injured in Israel's military assault to seek medical treatment. 11 people were able to cross before the Egyptian authorities closed the crossing on Friday.
Palestinians in the West Bank and Israel protest in solidarity with Gaza
Friday evening saw clashes between Palestinians and the Israeli military in the West Bank. Demonstrations were reported in Hebron, Bethlehem, and villages near Ramallah and East Jerusalem. Protestors at Qalandiya checkpoint managed to place the Palestinian flag onto the fencing that surrounds the checkpoint.
Additionally, Palestinian's from the towns of Nazareth, Taibe and Sakahnin, all of which are located the other side of the Green Line in Israel, have showed their solidarity with the people of Gaza. The protests began after the Mohammed Abu Khdier, a Palestinian resident of Shu'fat neighbourhood in East Jerusalem was kidnapped by three Israeli's and burned alive. The demonstrations have carried on in solidarity with the people of Gaza.
'End the Siege'
Demonstrations against Israel's assault on Gaza took place in London, Oslo and Paris on Friday.
London saw the largest turnout with approximately 10,000 protestors gathering outside the Israeli Embassy with placards inscribed with "Gaza: End the Siege" and "Freedom for Palestine". A group of 17 people brought traffic to a halt when the activists scaled a double decker bus and suspended a banner which had "Judaism rejects the Zionist state and condemns its criminal siege and occupation" written on it.
3,000 pro-Palestine activists gathered outside Oslo's parliamentary buildings in support of peace in Gaza.
In Paris, 300 demonstrators gathered outside the French Foreign Ministry. Protestors had painted the Palestinian flag on their faces and chanted "Palestine will survive".
Although many world leaders have condemned the escalation of the situation in Gaza, none have been able to prevent the deaths of innocent civilians. How many more people will have to lose their lives before something changes?
With no sign of both sides agreeing to a cease-fire, a ground invasion by the Israeli military would appear imminent.
In the coming days more demonstrations are planned in cities around the world and in Israel.

When it comes to sharks, this seemingly never ending controversy stirs up a lot of thoughts and emotions.
Here is a photograph of me caressing a lovely tiger shark taken by Kay-Burn Lim, an Australian professional photographer whom I had the pleasure to meet during my recent Tiger Beach trip.

I quite like the image as I believe it eloquently transmits the essence of my feelings for sharks.
For many divers and non-divers touching sharks is a thorny issue. Not for me. I just do it because I love to touch sharks the way I like to touch people I am fond of.
Sure, that sounds rather simplistic but then again, I am a simple minded guy, and as such I do not waste any thoughts ruminating whether it is right or wrong to touch wild animals. I leave those lofty, sometimes even pseudo-scholarly discussions to those self-professed lovers of nature who believe have the "authority" to pass intelligent judgments on that matter.
Let me just say this: I do not "ride" sharks, holding on to their dorsal fins to let them pull me through the water or, much worse, grabbing their tail fins as I often see totally insensitive, disrespectful and mindless rough diamonds do it. I touch sharks gently, let their bodies glide through my hands, and enjoy the physical contact with another creature.
At any rate: It is my firm opinion that only rather experienced shark divers should, rather could, engage in this closest type of interaction with sharks. Sharks speak with their bodies. You have to learn that language to understand these gentle, still widely misunderstood wild animals.
Read my disclaimer in the upper right side of this blog.
And if you feel like reading more on the subject, I recommend that you open this link - it's an article that appeared in New Zealand on November 25, 2013.
If you have never dived with sharks, don't you think it's about time to do it? Initially without touching them?..... :-) :-)

The SoDa project - Important dates
The SoDa project
| Proposal Number: IST-1999-12245 Version 2
Acronym: SoDa
Title: SoDa. Integration and exploitation of networked Solar radiation Databases for environment monitoring
Key Action: KA I
Action line: 1.1.2.-1.5.1
Dates: 2000-March 2003
Detailed presentation
The project SoDa answers the needs of industry and research for information on solar radiation parameters with a satisfactory quality. The methodology is user-driven with a large involvement of users in the project. A prototype service will be developed that will integrate and efficiently exploit diverse networked information sources to supply value-added information in a selected number of environmental applications. The information sources also include application-specific user-oriented numerical models and advanced algorithms. Algorithms based on innovative techniques in data fusion, data mining, data processing, and data assimilation in numerical models have been developed and tested to supply value-added information on solar radiation. The service has been validated through users trials, and its benefits were assessed. The project SoDa focuses on several applications in environment and connected domains: air quality in cities, vegetation, coastal zones, energy-conscious building design and daylighting, and industrial use of renewable energies.
- to answer the needs for high quality customer-tailored information on solar radiation to integrate diverse sources of information presently available separately within a smart integrating network to develop and operate a prototype service, which efficiently exploits this smart network, and which will be used and gauged by selected users to increase the quality of the delivered information through improved modelling of time and space structures of the solar radiation, and improved matching to actual customer needs
- to disseminate the achievements of the project, and assess the sustainability of a permanent commercial service
A multi-disciplinary consortium has been assembled, which gathers companies and researchers with the necessary expertise in solar radiation and information and communications technologies. Customers and potential users are also represented as partners in the consortium via the involvement of commercial private vendors of solar radiation databases and of representatives of large international or local environmental research and development programs.

Lori Berenson, 31, 2001 News
was sentenced to 20 years in prison in Peru after being found guilty in June by a civilian court of "terrorist collaboration" in a 1995 attempt by a Marxist terrorist group to take over the Peruvian Congress. The former New Yorker was first convicted in 1996 by a secret military court and sentenced to life in prison. The military trial was widely condemned as unfair, as her attorneys were not allowed to cross-examine witnesses and the judges presiding over the case were shrouded in hoods. A military tribunal ordered in 2000 that she be retried by a civilian court.

|Autumn in Brown County,Indiana
Today is the first day of Fall, also known as the Autumn Equinox. It's that time of year when the days become shorter and the nights grow longer in the northern hemisphere. It is one of only two days in the year, (the Spring Equinox being the other,) when daylight and darkness are of equal time.
|Harvesting Wheat - 1800's
The arrival of autumn has been celebrated for centuries, from ancient Egyptian times, to the present, with harvest festivals. These festivals are usually held at the end of the growing season. People throughout the ages have commemorated the hard work involved and the abundance of foods available; pumpkins, corn, squash, beans, wheat, apples and nuts, during this season of plenty.
|Autumn Celebration -
Daniel Macllise
At harvest festivals contests were held, music was played, bonfires were built and plenty of eating and drinking took place. It is no wonder that in the Western Hemisphere, autumn is depicted by full, lush women bearing ripened fruits and grain. The North American Indians also had many festivals tied to autumn and gathering food from the wild to prepare for winter.
|September 2011 Harvest Moon
|Harvest Moon - 2010
The harvest moon is another symbol of autumn. This is the full moon that occurs at the closest time to the Autumn Equinox. Usually it is in September, but it can occur in October, as it did in 2009 and will again in 2017. The full harvest moon was so named in the eighteenth century because it was bright enough that farmers could work into the night by it's light.
Autumn is a time of melancholy for some. The end of the summer's warmth and light has come, and the prospect of cold and darkness lay ahead for many months. It is a season that inspires you to look inward, to reflect and consider the choices you have made, and the options still open to you.
Death is also linked to the autumn and harvest. Crops were gathered from the field in autumn by reaping with a sickle or scythe. So too were souls depicted as being gathered from the earth. The Grim Reaper, also known as the Angel of Death, first came about in the 15th century and was depicted as a skeleton carrying a scythe. Some believed the Grim Reaper was simply an escort to the afterlife. His role was not to judge, but to provide safe passage for the newly departed soul. Others thought the Grim Reaper actively sought souls and caused death to occur.
Acorns and Oak leaves can symbolize strength and prosperity on a marker.
Abundant fruit as a sign of a pleasurable life, lived to the fullest.
|Autumn - Frederic E. Church
|Autumn Equinox Sunset 2010
Autumn also comes a sense of balance, abundance now, leanness to come; equal hours of daylight and darkness, feelings of warmth and of chill. Tonight, celebrate Autumn as your ancestors did - with an abundant dinner, a glass of wine, laughter, stories, and a soul-warming bonfire.
Autumn Bonfires (1885)
|Raymond L. Knaub
In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer is over
And all the summer flowers,
The gray smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!
- Robert Louis Stevenson
Happy Autumn!
~ Joy

I'm not sure specifically the differences between a normal Dial-up modem and an ADSL one.
Here is my problem:
I recently found an old box in the basement, which I installed Ubuntu (linux) on. I have both a NIC, and an old dial-up modem on it.
My modem that I connect to the internet with was provided by my ISP when I first joined their service, but lately it has been overheating and I've been having my connection dropped.
Seeing as how I have this linux box with a modem, I was wondering if it was possible that I could connect to my ISP using this dial-up modem.
Here's an example:
Currently: Wall (phone cord) -> ADSL Modem -> Router -> PC, PC, PC
Theoretically: Wall (phone cord) -> Linux box (as modem AND router) -> PC, PC, PC

Once we left Jason's house (see last post), we headed to San Ramon to visit Joe's grandmother. Grandma Q had never met my kids, so this was a pretty awesome opportunity to introduce my kids to their great grandmother on Daddy's side.
Joe's grandma lives with her daughter (Joe's aunt) Bonnie. Bonnie has a pool. Lacey saw the pool and instantly did this...
Matthew was pretty tired when we got to Bonnie's house. Oh how we love nap time!
Lilia visiting with Grandma Q... Lilia told me later that she really really loves her Grandma Q
We spent the night with Joe's family, then headed on our way to family reunion. We stopped for one night in Modesto to visit with some friends I grew up with, and spent the night at my aunt's house. She had her grandkids over for the night, so Lilia and Lacey were in heaven with other kids their age to play with.
Joe got tackled by all the kids...
I was tired- and got tackled by just one little kid... Matthew decided eating my shoulder would be fun.
The next morning, we headed out for Family Reunion... Stay tuned for part 3!

The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
(W. B. Yeats: 'The Second Coming')
The issues I have been looking at lately – war, the economy, the rigid approach to mental health – all raise the question, 'Why do we find it so difficult to fix such problems, even when we can see that something is seriously wrong? One factor, among many, is discussed with great insight by Jonathan Haidt, whom I quote from in a short sequence on conviction, which I have decided to republish now. This is the second of three. The first came out on Monday: the last will come out tomorrow.
Ruling passion
We obviously need to take care what we believe in. It tends to determine the person we will become. Sadly, most of us devote more conscious effort to choosing a car than creating a character. We simply accept what we have been given, rarely assessing its value, rarely considering whether or not it could be changed for the better, and if we do feel dissatisfaction with what we have become we tend to test it against inappropriate measures such as the wealth it has brought us, the worldly success we have achieved, the number rather than the quality of our friendships, the power we derive from it and so on. We seldom carefully reflect upon our beliefs and how they have shaped and are still shaping who we are.
Culture has struggled to get a handle on this problem for generations. In the 18th Century they talked of people having a 'ruling passion.' This was the organising principle around which all activities and aspirations were supposed to revolve. Alexander Pope wrote:
The ruling passion, be it what it will,
The ruling passion conquers reason still.
(Moral Essay iii: lines 153-154)
(Samuel Johnson, though, questioned the usefulness and validity of this concept in his usual robust fashion.) That they called it a 'passion' gives us a clue about what is going on here.
Erich Fromm's book, 'The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness' (1973: page 260) develops this idea very clearly. He argues that, in human beings, character has replaced instinct as a driver of what we do. And character creates a special need in us.
Man needs an object of total devotion to be the focal point of all his strivings. In being devoted to a goal beyond his isolated ego, he transcends himself and leaves the prison of absolute egocentricity. He can be devoted to the most diverse goals and idols but the need for devotion is itself a primary, essential need demanding fulfilment.
This has created a god-shaped hole in the middle of our being. We cannot help but fill it with something. Our sense of identity is at stake. In 2001 the Bahá'í World Centre published a review of the Twentieth Century which contained these words (page 59-60):
The yearning for belief is inextinguishable, an inherent part of what makes one human. When it is blocked or betrayed, the rational soul is driven to seek some new compass point, however inadequate or unworthy, around which it can organize experience and dare again to assume the risks that are an inescapable aspect of life.
Is conviction, like atomic power, a double-edged sword? Can we truly say that no great enterprise was ever accomplished and no huge and large scale evil ever completed without it? If this is so, and I think it is because both great good and massive evil require great energy and great persistence, what determines whether it will be destructive or constructive?
Idealising something (or someone) seriously flawed corrupts us: I think the opposite is also true and that worshiping something both better and greater than ourselves improves us. I would like to entertain the possibility that it is the object of our devotion as we understand it rather than simply the intensity of the conviction that makes the greatest difference, though if the object of devotion is less than good then the intensity of our devotion will strongly influence how destructive espousing that belief will make us.
Is there any object of devotion that does not induce in its followers intolerance and hatred towards others especially those who have a different god?
Tolerant Devotion
The issue of what determines the strength and nature of our convictions is not a straightforward one. When I was studying psychology for the first time in the 1970s I came across the work of Thomas Pettigrew, which is still referred to even now. It illustrates nicely the exact nature of the difficulty.
To put one set of his findings very simply, whether you were a miner in segregated West Virginia or apartheid South Africa, the culture around you differed depending on whether you were above ground or below it. Below ground discrimination was potentially dangerous so the culture there frowned on it: above ground the culture was discriminatory. What was particularly interesting to me was that 20% of people discriminated all the time regardless of the culture and 20% refused to do so at all: 60% of people shifted from desegregation below ground to segregation above it (the percentages are approximate: the pattern is accurate).
The implications are fascinating.
First, as Richard Holloway stresses, most of us are 'infirm of purpose' and lack the courage of our convictions or even any convictions at all. We follow the herd, a potentially dangerous tendency.
Secondly, the proneness to develop strong convictions does not lead us to develop only the best ones. In the example of the mining communities, segregation and desegegration are antitheses and cannot both be right and desirable, but clearly both attract approximately equal numbers of adherents with equivalent degrees of courage in their convictions, in stark contrast to the moral cowardice or lack of conviction of the rest of us. It is questionable whether it is the 'best' that 'lack all conviction.'
Thirdly, while most of us are drifting with the tide rather than choosing a firm rock to cling to, the strong-minded do choose but on grounds that have little if anything reliably to do with their strong-mindedness. Authoritarianism has been wheeled out as a favourite explanation for why people end up fascist or fanatical. It would though be hard to make it work as an explanation of the moral courage and firm conviction of a Martin Luther King or a Ghandi. The vision of these two men was not one of replacing their oppressors in power and becoming oppressors in their turn but of transcending oppression altogether.
So where on earth or in heaven does that leave us? Are these two men so exceptional that their example does not count? Or is a humane and constructive kind of strong conviction possible for most if not all of us?
A Possible Way Forward
When it comes to determining what might provide a positive vision of sufficient power to heal the divisions of the world of humanity, a consideration of religion is inevitable. Although I was brought up a Christian, became an atheist for nearly two decades and was strongly attracted to Buddhism for a period of years, the religion I know best is the Bahá'í Faith.
Much of what I will be describing in the next post about the vision I have derived from its teachings, is also to be found in other faiths. For instance, anyone who wants to know about the healing heart of the Christian message and the positively empowering concept of God it enshrines, there is no better place to go than Eric Reitan's book, and I would also see God in much the same way as he does. His view also opens the way towards discerning the same spirit in other faiths.
One of his premises is that our concept of God, who is in essence entirely unknowable, needs to show Him as deserving of worship: any concept of God that does not fulfil that criterion should be regarded with suspicion. Our idealism, our ideology, will then, in my view, build an identity on the crumbling and treacherous sand of some kind of idolatry.
I will though confine my discussion now to what the faith I know best, with its inclusive vision of the divine, has taught me about a way out of this divided and intolerant state by which we are bedevilled. Even those who do not believe in the divine can relate to much of what I will be saying by reframing the 'divine' as their highest most inclusive sense of the ultimate good around which to organise our lives.
I am not claiming that others have not grappled with these issues: nor am I saying that what they have discovered as possible antidotes to fanatical intolerance is to be ignored or discounted. Zimbardo and McCullough, for example, have much of great value to say from which we can all learn a great deal.
I do believe though that religion and spirituality have recently been so demonised in certain quarters that we are in danger of neglecting the powerful antidotes to evil that they also can provide. It is to these that I wish to draw our attention in the next post.

American Indian tribes have more than access to National Parks on the line with the government shutdown, as federal funding has been cut off for crucial services including foster care payments, nutrition programs and financial assistance for the needy.
Some tribes say they'll try to fill the gap themselves, risking deficits to cushion communities with chronic high unemployment and poverty against effects of the budget battle in Washington, D.C.
But basic services heavily subsidized by federal payments are taking a direct hit. Crow Chairman Darrin Old Coyote says the southeastern Montana reservation is suspending bus service to remote communities and furloughing employees from a major irrigation project.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs says essential activities such as law enforcement, firefighting and some social services will continue.
Some activities considered essential will continue, including law enforcement, firefighting, schools and some social services, Bureau of Indian Affairs spokeswoman Nedra Darling said. But other programs are sure to take a hit, such as financial assistance for the needy, payments for foster care and oversight of environmental, wildlife and cultural programs.
The full scope of the shutdown's effects on tribes remains uncertain; tribal leaders say the severity will depend on how long it lasts. The BIA provides services to more than 1.7 million American Indians and Alaska Natives from more than 500 recognized tribes.
"Do we just throw kids onto the street or do we help them? Most likely we're going to help those families and do whatever we can until this is unresolved," said Tracy "Ching" King, president of northern Montana's Fort Belknap Reservation.
King says the reservation's Gros Ventre and Assiniboine tribes will pay for affected programs themselves until federal payments resume. But he warns that could hurt tribal finances already strained from prior federal cuts. Within just a few weeks, carrying the cost of federal programs will cost the tribe roughly $1 million, King said.
Other tribes, such as the Crow Indians in southeastern Montana, have chosen to furlough workers now rather than risk not being repaid by the federal government down the road. Crow Chairman Darrin Old Coyote said dozens of workers likely would be furloughed, although an exact figure wasn't immediately available.
"We're taking a proactive approach," Old Coyote said. "There's no guarantee (that tribes will be repaid), and we don't want to be out millions of dollars."
During the last government shutdown in the mid-1990s, general assistance payments from the BIA were delayed for nearly 53,000 American Indian recipients, according to the National Congress of American Indians.
Such payments total about $42 million annually, and tribal leaders say they help offset chronic unemployment levels. On the Fort Belknap Reservation, for example, the unemployment rate hovers at around 70 percent of tribal members, King said.
"To get them out of that rut, you have to invest in them somehow. You want to encourage them to work and see what their talents are," King said. "But if this (shutdown) continues, we'll have to look at all of our programs individually and say can we afford this, to see what we could do to provide services to our most needy."
The NCAI said other areas where cuts could be felt most acutely include nutrition programs that distribute food to an average of 76,500 people a month from an estimated 276 tribes.
The group said that even if the shutdown is resolved soon, budget cuts already planned for 2013 will mean less money for the Indian Health Service, education programs, law enforcement, housing and road maintenance work.
"The (federal government's) trust responsibility to tribal nations is not a line item, and tribal programs must be exempt from budget cuts in any budget deal," the group said in a statement.

Digital output ports = ports that servos plug into??
Whats Input/Output pins for then?
ah okay! um, stupid question: what if im purchasing analog servos? will they go into digital output ports?
Take a look at http://www.oopic.com/oopicr.htm. I think this will be a good choice since it has a free compiler (you can program it in C, Basic or Java), you don't need an programmer (just a serial cable) and it can handle up to 16 servos (just plug them in). So you will pay $80 for the OOPic-R, $80 for the ( servos and build your own brackets. I think it can be done easy with a $250 budget.
How hard is it to turn the $50 tutorial's unit from controlling 4 servos to lets say 16 servos. I can't just solder in 12 more headers in random holes can I ?
So what do I need to do after building that circuit to achieve 16 servos?
DDRC = 0x00; //configure all C ports for inputPORTC = 0x00; //make sure pull-up resistors are turned off
DDRC = 0xFF; //configure all C ports for output

Last year, two inspectors from California's hazardous waste agency were visiting an electronics recycling company near Fresno for a routine review of paperwork when they came across a warehouse the size of a football field, packed with tens of thousands of old computer monitors and televisions.
The crumbling cardboard boxes, stacked in teetering rows, 9 feet high and 14 feet deep, were so sprawling that the inspectors needed cellphones to keep track of each other. The layer of broken glass on the floor and the lead-laden dust in the air was so thick that the inspectors soon left over safety concerns. Weeks later, the owner of the recycling company disappeared, abandoning the waste, and leaving behind a toxic hazard and a costly cleanup for the state and the warehouse's owner.
As recently as a few years ago, broken monitors and televisions like those piled in the warehouse were being recycled profitably. The big, glassy funnels inside these machines — known as cathode ray tubes, or CRTs — were melted down and turned into new ones.
But flat-screen technology has made those monitors and televisions obsolete, decimating the demand for the recycled tube glass used in them and creating what industry experts call a "glass tsunami" as stockpiles of the useless material accumulate across the country.
The predicament has highlighted how small changes in the marketplace can suddenly transform a product into a liability and demonstrates the difficulties that federal and state environmental regulators face in keeping up with these rapid shifts.
"Lots of smaller recyclers are in over their heads, and the risk that they might abandon their stockpiles is very real," said Jason Linnell of the Electronics Recycling Coordination Clearinghouse, an organization that represents state environmental regulators, electronics manufacturers and recyclers. In February, the group sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency asking for immediate help dealing with the rapidly growing stockpiles of the glass, much of which contains lead.
With so few buyers of the leaded glass from the old monitors and televisions, recyclers have collected payments from states and electronics companies to get rid of the old machines. A small number of recyclers have developed new technology for cleaning the lead from the tube glass, but the bulk of this waste is being stored, sent to landfills or smelters, or disposed of in other ways that experts say are environmentally destructive.
In 2004, recyclers were paid more than $200 a ton to provide glass from these monitors for use in new cathode ray tubes. The same companies now have to pay more than $200 a ton to get anyone to take the glass off their hands.
So instead of recycling the waste, many recyclers have been storing millions of the monitors in warehouses, according to industry officials and experts. The practice is sometimes illegal since there are federal limits on how long a company can house the tubes, which are environmentally dangerous. Each one can include up to eight pounds of lead.
The scrap metal industry estimates that the amount of electronic waste has more than doubled in the past five years.
A little over a decade ago, there were at least 12 plants in the United States and 13 more worldwide that were taking these old televisions and monitors and using the cathode ray tube glass to produce new tubes. But now, there are only two plants in India doing this work.
In 2009, after television broadcasters turned off their analog signals nationwide in favor of digital, millions of people threw away their old televisions and replaced them with sleeker flat-screen models. Since then, thousands of pounds of old televisions and other electronic waste have been surreptitiously unloaded at landfills in Nevada and Ohio and on roadsides in California and Maine.
Most experts say that the larger solution to the growing electronic waste problem is for technology companies to design products that last longer, use fewer toxic components and are more easily recycled. Much of the industry, however, seems to be heading in the opposite direction.
Cathode ray tubes have been largely replaced by flat panels that use fluorescent lights with highly toxic mercury in them, said Jim Puckett, director of Basel Action Network, an environmental advocacy group. Used panel screens from LCD televisions and monitors, for example, do not have much recycling value, so many recyclers are sending them to landfills.
State and federal environmental policies have also become victims of their own success. Over the past decade, environmental regulators have promoted "take-back" programs to persuade people to hand in the more than 200 million old televisions and broken computer monitors that Americans are thought to have stored away in closets, garages and basements.
The same programs have courted businesses to divert their electronic waste away from landfills to avoid the hazardous chemicals in this toxic trash from leaching into groundwater. More than 290,000 tons of the high-tech castoffs are now directed away from landfills and toward recyclers each year.
"The problem now is that the collection of this waste has never been higher, but demand for the glass that comes from it has never been lower," said Neil Peters-Michaud, the chief executive of Cascade Asset Management, a recycling company.
Roughly 660 million pounds of the glass is being stored in warehouses across the country, and it will cost $85 million to $360 million to responsibly recycle it, according to a report released in December by TransparentPlanet, an organization focused on electronic waste research.
The stockpiling problem is especially worrisome to electronics companies and to state and federal officials since they might have to pick up part of the tab if the stockpiles were abandoned and declared federal Superfund sites.
At least 22 states have laws that make electronics manufacturers like Sony, Toshiba and Apple financially responsible for recycling their old products. But lack of oversight of these programs has led to rampant fraud. In one tactic, quietly known in the industry as "paper transactions," recyclers buy paperwork to indicate that they collected a certain amount of electronic waste that they never actually collected.
The Obama administration, more than any of its predecessors, has strengthened oversight of electronic waste. In 2012, the General Services Administration enacted rules discouraging all agencies and federal contractors from disposing of it in landfills. The federal government, which is among the world's largest producer of electronic waste, disposes more than 10,000 computers a week on average.
A Glut of Electronic Waste

Federal agencies are failing to sufficiently track their electronic waste, and large amounts of it are still being disposed of through public or online auctions, according to a Government Accountability Office report last year. In these auctions, the waste is often sold to a first layer of contractors who promise to handle it appropriately, only to have the most toxic portion subsequently sold to subcontractors who move it around as they wish.
Some of this waste is dumped illegally in developing countries, the G.A.O. found. Congress is considering legislation to ban certain types of unprocessed and nonworking electronics and electronic waste from being exported to developing countries from the United States.
Recyclers say there is still money to be made on processing the old monitors and televisions if companies charge a price that more genuinely reflects the expense of disposing of the glass properly. But practices like "greenwashing," whereby companies pretend to engage in environmentally responsible disposal practices, hinder such progress.
"They're skimming off the computers, cellphones and printers that can be recycled profitably because they have more precious metals," said Karrie Gibson, the chief executive of Vintage Tech Recyclers. "Then they stockpile the CRTs, or dump it in landfills or abroad."
The sheer quantity of the glass accumulating at some recycling plants has contributed to environmental and workplace safety problems. In Yuma, Ariz., for example, Dlubak Glass, one of the country's largest recyclers of glass from televisions and monitors, found itself overwhelmed.
When state regulators visited the site in 2009, they found a mountain of the lead-rich glass, several stories tall. Dust from the shimmering mound of recycled glass had contaminated the surrounding soil, including a nearby orchard, with lead at 75 times the federal limit, according to state documents.
"We have it entirely under control now," said Herb Schall, a Dlubak plant manager.
In September, California passed an emergency measure allowing companies to send monitors and televisions to hazardous landfills for the next two years.
Charlotte Fadipe, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, said her office's investigation of the abandoned warehouse near Fresno is continuing, and investigators are still trying to locate Charles Li, the owner of the company, TRI Products.
Over the past four years, TRI has been paid more than $1 million by the state to recycle electronic waste from local schools, hospitals and federal agencies, including the F.B.I., the I.R.S. and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to state and company documents.
After a reporter found him to be running another electronic waste disposal company, Mr. Li did not respond. But when he was contacted online by another recycler and asked whether he was still looking to buy electronic waste, he immediately replied yes, with one caveat.
"Right now, we can take PC, server, telephone, printer and household e-waste," he wrote. "I cannot take your CRT/TV as e-waste because we don't have equipment to recycle the tubes."

Juli 2019 16:00 Bearbeitet I'm thinking of a feature where you can change your notification sounds (on Desktop) between the servers that you are a part of. Like let's say Server A has the original AIM sound effect*, and Server B has a sound effect from The Jetsons.It's basically simple, and I'm sure this is a highly-requested feature among the Discord community. *Sound effects could be changed via .mp3 files, .m4a files. etc., that you have on your computer. EDIT: Also, would be nice to be able to have an AOL Instant Messenger-style feature where you hear a sound effect when you send a message. This sound effect should be completely optional and if you choose to enable the feature, it can be customized with the same method as aforementioned. 257

PITTSBURGH (AP) When Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin demoted running back Rashard Mendenhall to third-string following a fumble in a loss to Cleveland last month, Tomlin stressed Mendenhall would have a chance to redeem himself.
Not this week.
The Steelers suspended the mercurial Mendenhall for their game Sunday at Dallas for conduct detrimental to the team. Pittsburgh promoted running back Baron Batch from the practice squad to take Mendenhall's place.
The suspension is the latest in a series of setbacks for the 25-year-old Mendenhall. He emerged as Pittsburgh's starter in 2009 and topped 1,000 yards in 2009 and 2010. He nearly reached the milestone again last winter but tore the ACL in his right knee in the regular- season finale against Cleveland.
Mendenhall returned Oct. 4 and had 101 total yards and a touchdown in a victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. He strained his right Achilles four days later against Tennessee and never regained a firm grip on the starting job.
Jonathan Dwyer and Isaac Redman shined in Mendenhall's absence - with one or the other rushing for more than 100 yards in three straight games - and Mendenhall was dropped to third in the depth chart after he coughed up the ball in the first quarter against the Browns.
The Steelers (7-6) made Mendenhall inactive in a victory over Baltimore and last week's 34-24 loss at home to San Diego. Though the running game struggled - Dwyer led the Steelers with 32 yards - Tomlin said he had no plans to make a change as Pittsburgh heads into the final three weeks of the season.

WASHINGTON, May 10, 2012 – The Tewaaraton Foundation has announced the 2012 Tewaaraton Award men's and women's finalists lists, presented by Panama Jack. Five men and five women were selected as finalists and will be invited to Washington, D.C. for the 12th annual Tewaaraton Award Ceremony, May 31 at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian.
The five men's finalists are Colgate University attackman Peter Baum, Duke University midfielder C.J. Costabile, University of Massachusetts attackman Will Manny, Loyola University attackman Mike Sawyer and University of Virginia attackman Steele Stanwick.
The five women's finalists are University of Florida midfielder Brittany Dashiell, University of North Carolina attacker Becky Lynch, University of Maryland attacker Katie Schwarzmann, Northwestern University midfielder Taylor Thornton and Syracuse University attacker Michelle Tumolo.
This year marks the first time that 10 different schools are represented among the finalists, as well as the first time finalists originally hailing from North Carolina, Oregon and Texas have been selected. Returning 2011 finalists include Stanwick (2011 men's winner) and Schwarzmann. All ten finalists will compete in this month's NCAA lacrosse championships, at the conclusion of which the selection committees will vote on and select this year's winners.
"It is the ultimate recognition for these 10 finalists to have been recognized by the game's very best coaches," said Jeffrey Harvey, chairman of The Tewaaraton Foundation. "They are all worthy of the sport's ultimate award, and we could not be more excited to have this group come to Washington, D.C. on May 31."
The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and top female college lacrosse player in the United States. Finalists were selected from a pool of 25 men's and 25 women's nominees. The selection committees are comprised of 12 men's and 10 women's current and former college coaches.
Brief bios of the finalists:
Peter Baum (Portland, Ore.) leads the nation in goals (64) and points (93), setting Colgate and Patriot League records in both categories en route to being named the 2012 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year. The junior attackman's 93 points are the most in NCAA Division I play since 2008, when Tewaaraton Award finalist Zack Greer recorded 95. Baum is the first finalist in Colgate lacrosse history.
C.J. Costabile (New Fairfield, Conn.) is looking to become the third Duke Blue Devil to receive the Tewaaraton, following Matt Danowski (2007) and Ned Crotty (2010). On his way to being named the 2012 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Co-Defensive Player of the Year, the senior long-stick midfielder grabbed an ACC-best 113 ground balls along with 18 caused turnovers, 10 points (6g, 4a) and 119 of 231 draws.
Will Manny (Massapequa, N.Y.) led Massachusetts' third-ranked offense (13.07 goals per game) and the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) in both goals (43) and points (75), helping the Minutemen to an undefeated regular season in which his team led the nation in scoring margin. The junior attackman ranked in the nation's top six in goals (2.87), assists (2.13) and points (5.00) per game and earned 2012 CAA Player of the Year honors.
Mike Sawyer (Waxhaw, N.C.) helped the Loyola Greyhounds land the No. 1 seed in the NCAA men's lacrosse championship as well as the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) regular season and tournament titles. The junior attackman was a first-team All-ECAC performer, leading his team and the ECAC in goals (45), and his 3.00 goals per game average ranked third nationally. Sawyer is the first men's finalist in Loyola lacrosse history.
Steele Stanwick (Baltimore, Md.) is looking for a repeat of his 2011 Tewaaraton Award-winning campaign, when he led the Virginia Cavaliers to the national title. The senior attackman claimed his second straight ACC Player of the Year award, leading Virginia with 71 points (26g, 45a). Stanwick led the nation in assists and is ranked second in the country with 5.07 points per game.
On the women's side, the five finalists represent the top five schools in the final regular season Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) coaches' poll.
Brittany Dashiell (Bel Air, Md.) was a catalyst for the Florida Gators third-ranked offense, leading the Gators to the program's first American Lacrosse Conference (ALC) tournament title and the No. 1 seed in the NCAA women's lacrosse championship. The junior attacker led Florida with 23 assists and was third on the team with 59 points. Her 27 ground balls and 42 draw controls ranked second on the Gators and helped her garner a first-team All-ALC selection. Dashiell is the first finalist in Florida lacrosse history.
Becky Lynch (Garden City, N.Y.) ranked in North Carolina's top two in goals, assists, points (team-leading 55), ground balls and draw controls (team-leading 37). The senior attacker became the Tar Heels' career assist leader (89) en route to first-team All-ACC honors and the ACC regular season championship. She paced the Tar Heels with six points in the ACC tournament and became the only player in program history to earn all-tournament honors in four consecutive seasons.
Katie Schwarzmann (Sykesville, Md.) has the opportunity to join two other Maryland Terrapins as Tewaaraton winners: Jen Adams (2001) and Caitlyn McFadden (2010). Schwarzmann led the ACC and ranked third nationally with 63 goals. Her 78 points were second best in the conference, and she also led the Terrapins in ground balls (29) and recorded 40 draw controls, second on the team. A member of the 2011-12 U.S. women's national team, the junior midfielder was named 2012 ACC Offensive Player of the Year and received her third straight all-conference selection. She paced the Terrapins with a tournament-record 11 goals in their run to the ACC tournament title, earning MVP honors.
Taylor Thornton (Dallas, Texas) was the leader for Northwestern's fourth-ranked defense and was named 2012 ALC Player of the Year, earning her third-straight all-conference selection. The junior midfielder, who in 2011 was named IWLCA Division I Defensive Player of the Year, was also a member of the 2011-12 U.S. women's national team. She set a career high with 27 goals and ranked in the top two for the Wildcats in ground balls (team-leading 44), draw controls (59) and caused turnovers (24). She is looking to become Northwestern's record sixth Tewaaraton winner, following the likes of Kristen Kjellman (2006, 2007), Hannah Nielsen (2008, 2009) and Shannon Smith (2011).
Michelle Tumolo (Mullica Hill, N.J.) paced the Syracuse offense, ranking in the Orange's top two in goals (43), assists (team-leading 40), points (83), ground balls (20) and caused turnovers (11). The junior attacker made her second appearance on the All-Big East First Team and was named Big East Attack Player of the Year. A member of the 2011-12 U.S. women's national team, she became only the second player in Syracuse history to record 200 points and 100 assists in her career.

|Ray McDonald
"Thunder Ray" stormed through opposing defenses for three seasons on the gridiron for Idaho. A terrific combination of size (6-4, 240 pounds) and speed (9.9 second 100-yard dash), Ray McDonald ranks as one of the best running backs in Idaho history. McDonald was bigger than most linemen he faced and faster than most defensive backs. A two-time All-American (1965 and 1966), McDonald rushed for 2,916 yards and 39 touchdowns in his career, which includes an NCAA-best 1,329 yards in 1966. That total was an Idaho school record that lasted 24 years. His 132.9 yards per game average in 1966 is an Idaho school record that has yet to be threatened. McDonald also is the only Vandal ever picked in the first round of the NFL Draft, as the Redskins took him at 13th overall in 1967. McDonald also starred for the Vandal track and field team, where he competed in the hurdles and the throws. He was a three-time Big Sky champion and a two-time All-American in the shot put and discus. He left Idaho as the Big Sky record holder in the discus, as well as the Idaho school record holder in the shot put and discus.
