Research Shows: You Don't Need Patents To Disclose Information
from the people-figure-out-ways... dept
Jerry Brito's Surprisingly Free podcast recently had a wonderful interview with Michael Burstein from Cardozo Law School, in which he talks about his recent research showing that a ton of information exchange occurs in the absence of intellectual property protection, and that inventors and companies figure out ways to protect themselves against someone just flat out copying their idea and running off with it. It's an area of research that is quite fascinating, because in the past, I'd thought that the argument about information sharing actually was one of the more compelling arguments for patents. Now... I'm beginning to question that assumption as well. The key thing that Burstein realized, was that information isn't quite as "clear cut" as people think it is, thus you can share some information without revealing all of the key points:
This article explains that, contrary to the conventional account of the disclosure paradox, information is not always nonexcludable and is not always a homogeneous asset. Instead, information is complex and multifaceted, subject to some inherent limitations but also manipulable by its holders. These characteristics give rise to a range of strategies for engaging in information exchange, of which intellectual property is only one. Information holders can use the characteristics of information itself as well as contractual and norms-based mechanisms and other legal or business strategies to achieve exchange. And examples drawn from fields as diverse and disparate as software and biotechnology show that entrepreneurs and inventors use these strategies alone or in combination to effectively link their ideas with capital and development skills, often without intellectual property playing a significant role in the transaction.In other words, inventors and companies have already adapted to do this, even without relying on IP laws. Burstein argues that anyone relying on the claim that IP is needed to facilitate information exchange appears to be flat out wrong, based on his empirical research.
Intellectual property is therefore not necessary to promote robust markets for information and is, in fact, just as contingent and context-specific a solution to the paradox as the alternatives described here. At the very least, then, there is reason to doubt that commercialization theories founded upon information exchange provide a standalone justification for intellectual property. This article urges caution in policy interventions that seek to respond to the disclosure paradox and sets the stage for future empirical research to better understand the dynamics of information exchange strategies and the social welfare costs and benefits that may accompany them.One example used in the report is how biotech firms share information without relying on intellectual property laws. They basically do a bit of a dance, in which they sign agreements and share bits of information with each other, which really seem to serve the purpose of testing whether each other is trustworthy. And, of course, because firms are involved in many, many transactions, there's a reputational issue at play here: a company that simply copies an idea presented to it by another will quickly find itself shut out of future opportunities to work with innovative companies. These are issues that patent system defenders and policymakers seem to rarely consider.
In some ways, this actually reminds me of the posts we've done on cargo cults and copying. Too many people seem to assume that it's easy to define and capture all of the information you need to copy someone else. If someone has a successful product, no problem, just make an exact replica of that product. But what we've seen over and over again is that there's superficial information, which can be easily copied, but most of the time there is also substantial tacit information which is not easy for a copycat to figure out without working closely with the original producer. This can be information into what kind of positioning worked with customers (and what failed). It can be as simple as experience with a unique way to calibrate a machine. There are all sorts of "little things" that those with experience have, that simply is not easy to easily capture from the outside. Thus, no matter how much superficial information is shared, it's not enough to make a really useful copy.

Keith Urban Officially Confirmed as Next 'American Idol' Judge
Country's own Keith Urban has been officially confirmed as one of the judges for the upcoming 12th season of the hit Fox reality singing competition 'American Idol.'
The Australian-born star has been rumored to be in talks with the show for weeks, and recently raised speculation to a fever pitch when he quit his previous gig as a coach on the Australian version of 'The Voice.' Entertainment Weekly confirmed the rumors today (Sept. 16), announcing that Urban and rap star Nicki Minaj will join pop diva Mariah Carey and returning alumnus Randy Jackson at the judge's table this year.
"Keith is another great addition to Idol — he's one of the biggest stars in country music and I know that our fans and contestants will fall in love with him," Mike Darnell of Fox told Entertainment Weekly in a statement.
The 'For You' hitmaker will be a necessary addition to the show, which has churned out major country superstars like Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler and Scotty McCreery in past seasons.
Urban will earn a reported $4 million for his new gig.

What if your video-game console, TV, tablet and smartphone all worked together to enhance gaming, movies and TV shows for you?
That's what Microsoft envisions with Xbox SmartGlass, a system introduced Monday at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles.
The system is the most visible iteration yet of the future Microsoft hopes to build around Windows 8, its new operating system that promises to run seamlessly on PCs, tablets and smartphones.
SmartGlass is an app for Windows 8, which is currently available in a preliminary beta version. But the system will also work with mobile devices running Apple's iOS and Google's Android operating systems.
"Xbox is on a mission to make the entertainment that you love even more amazing," Don Mattrick, president of interactive entertainment for Microsoft, said at a media event kicking off E3, the world's largest gathering for the video-game industry.
"With Xbox SmartGlass, we are lighting up entertainment across your phone, tablet, PC and TV in a completely new way. If you love to play games, watch TV and movies, surf the Web or listen to music, there has never been a better time to be on Xbox."
Among its features demoed at the event: using a tablet to call plays on "Madden 2012" and viewing maps of the fantasy land of Westeros on a tablet or smartphone while watching "Game of Thrones" on HBO.
The technology also was used to pause a movie on a Windows tablet and then send it to an Xbox to continue watching -- and as a way to use a smartphone as a remote control.
Industry veteran Adam Sessler, a former G4TV host, thinks SmartGlass could be a savvy move for Microsoft.
"They read the reality of the landscape and realized they can't compete in the tablet market. This allows them to get their stamp on every device with no risk," he told CNN. "It shows a maturity at Microsoft about how people are handling their games and entertainment. I don't think [SmartGlass] works right now for gaming, but I have a few ideas on how it might work for the future."
As gaming shifts, developers scramble to adapt
SmartGlass was the highlight of a list of features emphasizing that Microsoft wants the Xbox, and its Xbox LIVE network, to be far more than just a way to play games.
Saying Web browsers on other networks are "painfully slow," Mattrick announced that an integrated version of Internet Explorer will be coming to the Xbox this fall. And he announced Xbox Music, a service that will bring millions of songs to the console and devices running Windows 8.
But, this being E3, the big excitement at the convention was about the games.
Microsoft began the event with a part-gameplay, part live-action movie trailer for "Halo 4," the latest in the beloved shooter series that has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. The game is due in November.
That game and other previewed titles like "Splinter Cell: Blacklist" and "Madden 2013" will use the Kinect system's voice controls to let players speak, instead of fiddling with buttons, to give certain commands.
Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana was brought out to play some "Madden," calling plays and audibles in real time as he guided the San Francisco 49ers offense.
Other celebrity highlights included Usher demonstrating dance moves he helped craft for "Dance Central 3" and "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker talking up "South Park: The Stick of Truth," a video game due to be released in March.
In the game, the player is a new kid in town trying to join the foursome of Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny. The results, of course, are ridiculous.
"The only thing that really interested us was if we could make a game where it felt like you were in an episode of 'South Park,' " Stone said.
Former TV host Sessler said he was impressed with the "really strong" lineup of Xbox games previewed Monday.
"They [Microsoft] were showing that they aren't changing their brand. When the next-gen console comes out, the early adapters are going to be the hardcore gamers," he said. "Those titles spoke directly to them."
Microsoft's presentation was the first from the three major video-game console makers. Nintendo and Sony will have similar events at E3, which runs through Thursday.

In New Jersey, child care centers serving six or more children under the age of 13 must be licensed by DCF. A center becomes licensed after meeting all applicable conditions in the Manual of Requirements for Child Care Centers. Centers are licensed for a three-year period. A copy of the centers' license must be displayed in a prominent location at the center.
When parents register a child at a center, they must receive this Information to Parents document highlighting key information that must be made available, upon request, to parents about the center, including inspection and violation reports and a summary of any complaint made against the center. Centers are obligated to provide parents such information if requested. Therefore, going directly to your child care center for the information is the most efficient and effective approach to take.
DCF inspects centers every three years at the time of the center's renewal and conducts investigations when allegations are made about possible noncompliance with licensing requirements. Inspection reports are available at the center for parents to review. Click HERE to view the type of items DCF reviews during inspections.
Parents are encouraged to discuss with the center any questions or concerns they might have. Parents may also file or make a complaint with the OOL (877-667-9845) who will investigate. Complaints may be made anonymously. If there is a licensing complaint investigation, parents are entitled to review the OOL Complaint Investigation Summary Report, as well as any letters of enforcement or other actions taken against a center during its current licensing period.
Call the Child Abuse Hotline at 1-877 NJ ABUSE (1-877-652-2873) to report possible child abuse.

Escape the Fate Return to Studio With Song Fates in Question for Next Album
Escape the Fate are working toward a new album, but they're currently going through the trial and error process before finalizing the record.
In a video interview with Hollywood Wasted TV (5:30 in the video below), singer Craig Mabbitt explained, "I know we want to go back into the studio and do some more tracks, so some will probably get cut off the new one at least, cause there's some that I do not like, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. We're going to go back into the studio and record some more songs right after this tour."
Drummer Robert Ortiz adds, "You know we started with like 50 demos and stuff and then you whittle your way down until these are the 15 or so songs that we want to record and sound great. Some of them miss the mark when you go to record them and some of them don't work out and right now we have a few that are on that chopping block."
Attempting to clarify their current recording status, Mabbitt concluded, "We've finished recording it but we still want to go in and do some fixes and record some more tracks. Who knows? Some will get cut, some will stay, we'll figure it out."
Escape the Fate just finished a South American trek with Underoath, and will now take a break from the road to return to the studio.

Celebrating The 150th Anniversary of the Bicycle Patent at Sheldon Museum
Here's something everyone can enjoy, especially those of you in Vermont! My good friend and former boss, Glean Eames, is showing some of his unrivaled collection of velocipedes & boneshakers at the Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the bicycle patent. This is one of those events that you just can't miss if you're in Vermont (or the surrounding states).
Even if you're not much of a cyclist or lover of history, this exhibit will speak volumes to just how much the bicycle has progressed in the last 150 years. Each of these bicycles has its own backstory, with many of them being intricately designed by highly-skilled 19th-century metallurgists, possibly seen as forerunners to mid-20th century abstract-expressionist sculptors. Glenn describes the bikes as "sculpture you can ride".
Many of you know Glenn already, but for those that don't, he's well known for his unrivaled collection of classic and antique bicycles, as well opening The Old Spokes Home back in 2000. Of the 26 models on display at the Sheldon Museum, 23 of them belong to Glenn. If you get a chance, you should also check out his bicycle museum upstairs at Old Spokes.
I really wish I'd stayed stateside a couple extra weeks to check this show out! There will be a reception for the show on Thursday, June 23 from 5-7 PM – so mark those calendars. The exhibit will run from June 21 to Oct. 16.
Thank you to Hunt for the heads up on this one. For more information, check out Seven Days and the Burlington Free Press.

Our intern Greg found this gem of a hip-hop video on Uproxx.com today. No this isn't our attempt to expand the Beautiful/Decay audience and no we're not quitting our day jobs to pursue our hip-hop dreams. After some digging we've confirmed that the rapper Skyzoo has in fact heard of our Brand and that the song title is referencing Beautiful/Decay. Thanks for the song Skyzoo! We've been waiting for a theme song.
Come to think of it this isn't the first time a song has been named after Beautiful/Decay. Washington D.C. based metal shredders Darkest Hour also has a song called How The Beautiful/Decay. You may think this is a sheer coincidence but rest assured it's not. I went to high school with two of the starting members of Darkest Hour and even designed their first EP. The "design" of the EP makes me cringe with embarrassment but hey I made it in our high school computer lab when i was 15!
Now that we've concurred the hip-hop and metal worlds I only have one dream… To have The Jonas Brothers sing a lil diddy called "Ode To The Beautiful/Decay!"

YOUR LOOKS AND PERSONALITY (Nov, 1957)
by Amram Scheinfeld
Condensed from a chapter of the book, The Human Heredity Handbook
Personality refers to all of a human individual's behavior traits, plus all the other special qualities of mind, body, sex, and social adjustment that distinguish him as a particular person.
Second, personality refers to qualities developed by one person in relation to other persons. Strictly speaking, then, only human beings can be considered as having "personalities." Although we might like to think that cats, dogs and other animals also have "personalities," scientists prefer to speak of their traits as "behavior patterns."
A distinction is that behavior traits are simpler, and can be almost directly inherited in lower animals in the form of "instincts." It is far less certain whether any personality traits are ever directly inherited.
Infant personality. Human infants, like other little animals, come into the world with inherited behavior patterns. But from the moment they begin to be trained and influenced by their parents, older children, nurses and other human beings, they cease to be merely instinctive creatures, and any inborn tendencies become only the raw ma-terials from which the forces outside of them mold their personalities.
Physical Influences. In addition to the obvious mental and nervous disorders, a great many inherited diseases, defects, and organic weaknesses or peculiarities have characteristic effects on personality. Persons suffering from migraine headaches, for example, have been reported as tending to show "intolerance, perfectionism, sexual difficulties, etc."
Particular personality patterns may also go with glandular disorders, allergies, vitamin deficiencies, digestive disturbances and other conditions in which heredity may play a part. Changes in the body's chemical state or functioning by means of various drugs, and operations on the brain and nervous system, have been shown to affect personality in many ways.
One may assume, then, that any inherited differences — large or small — in the workings of the glands and other organs would account for some degree of difference in the personalities of individuals. The body's chemical transitions at adolescence, during the menopause in women, and in aging, also have their definite effects on personality.
But very probably, beneath the outer personality layers of individuals which can be much affected by changes in health or other factors, there is always an inner core of personality which persists through life. And it is this "inner personality" which may be strongly directed by inherited tendencies.
Looks and Personality. People have always believed that certain looks go with certain personalities. From Shakespeare's plays through to modern novels, dramas, movies, comic strips and TV shows, one will find people with given types of faces and bodies cast as characters with given personality traits . . .
Heroines: fair, slim and lovely. Heroes: tall, straight and handsome. Villains: lean and swarthy. Redheads: fiery natures. Bold men depicted with jutting jaws, weaklings with receding chins, sneaky people with warped bodies, etc.
Science has found no such connection between genes (units of heredity) for looks and genes for personality, character or temperament.
The only exceptions are in certain inherited diseases and abnormal conditions, which may together affect both outward appearance and behavior.
Otherwise almost any kind of nose, eyes, mouth, complexion, coloring or other bodily detail can go with any kind of inborn personality tendency. However, facial expressions involve something else. The way a person has used and uses his mouth and eyes may offer real clues to his personality, as may also movements of the head, body, hands, etc.
Effects of Looks. While heredity may couple any kind of feature or looks with any kind of personality trait, people themselves tend to ignore this fact. As a result, personalities can be much affected by how looks are regarded.
If a little girl is drooled over because she's "so pretty," she certainly won't develop the same personality as will a homely sister.
Similarly, to the extent that people react differently to tall or short persons, slender or fat ones, blondes and brunettes, the fair-skinned or dark-skinned — or to this or that kind of mouth or nose — the individuals' personalities will also develop differently. But it is important to remember that: Attitudes toward the very same types of looks — nose size, hip size, leg shape, skin color — may differ greatly in different groups, and when they do, so do the effects on personalities.
Fat women in the United States are made to feel inferior, and slim women to feel superior; but in some parts of the Orient and Africa the plumpest women are the glamor girls, and the slim ones are the wallflowers.
A few decades ago girls with small bosoms were most approved among Americans (as they still are among Japanese), and those with large bosoms self-consciously tried to strap them down. As need hardly be said, there's been a change.
So, too, the small, cupid's-bow mouth has currently yielded in desirability to the full, large mouth; and increases in stature have revised the scale by which persons are rated and feel themselves "too tall" or "too short." The genes for looks remain the same, generation after genera-, tion, but their effects on personalities may be almost anything that people wish to make them.
Hands, Feet, Ankles. The notion that thick, large hands and ankles betoken peasant or common ancestry, and a coarse personality, whereas slim hands and ankles go with "aristocratic" or genteel ancestry and inherent refinement, has no scientific support.
It is true that people who do heavy manual work in time develop thicker hands and ankles than those who do not, but these effects cannot be passed on through inheritance; and if the descendants themselves no longer do heavy work, they may have just as slim hands or ankles as those individuals having so-called "aristocratic" blood.
Apart from the direct effects of work and living habits, the sizes, shapes or textures of hands and feet have no relationship to personality.

|Richie McCaw carrying the ball behind a maul (All-blacks) 5 meters away from the Springboks goal-line during a tri-nations match at Westpac Stadium on July 30th, 2011. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Hey down under girls: NZ's most eligible bachelor, All Blacks captain Richie McCaw, is off the market.
The Herald understands the 32-year-old has been seeing Black Sticks midfielder Gemma Flynn for at least six months. It is also understood the couple spent Christmas together.
McCaw did not return calls. His agent Dean Hegan - who is also agent to All Black teammate Dan Carter - could not confirm details.
He said he doubted McCaw would speak about anything to do with a relationship.
Mr Hegan said McCaw was in Auckland fulfilling requirements for an advertisement.
Flynn, 22, is a student at Massey University and is studying towards a bachelor's degree in sports science.
She is originally from Tauranga but is living in Auckland.
Her mother, Michelle, laughed and politely declined to comment when the Herald called.
Flynn is regarded as one of the country's top players.
She was in the team that went to the London Olympics last year and also played at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Flynn was named yesterday in the Black Sticks squad for the five-test series against Argentina starting on February 24.
McCaw told Radio Live in April, "There's actually no one at the moment - I'm still on the lookout."
Past girlfriends have included broadcaster Nicola Grigg and sports presenter and dancer Hayley Holt.

100% Mortality Rate
Dear Dave,
Do you think it's unreasonable to ask my 76-year-old husband to have a will drawn up? He had one made when we lived in Florida, but we moved to Georgia. He won't do it, because he says wills aren't recognized in Georgia.
Dear Cam,
Wills aren't recognized in Georgia? Where did he get his legal advice, in a bar or pool hall?
Okay, let's straighten this out. The will he had drawn up in Florida wouldn't be
recognized in Georgia, but he could have one made in Georgia that would be absolutely valid and legal. Everyone: No matter where you live, you need a will. If you die without a will in place, your family has to go through the court and jump through all sorts of hoops to settle the estate. The process can take several months. No one should leave their loved ones in that kind of predicament, when having a will drawn up is such a simple an inexpensive process.
Everyone needs a will, Cam. Human beings have a 100 percent mortality rate, okay? No one is getting out of this thing alive. You need a will, a full estate plan with specific instructions on what to do with all your stuff after you die!
Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13
Dear Dave,
What's the difference between a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
Dear Claudia,
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is what most people think about when they hear the word "bankruptcy." It's total bankruptcy, almost like dropping an atomic bomb on your entire financial picture.
Virtually all of your unsecured debt (except student loans, child support and money owed to the IRS) is wiped out. These things are not bankruptable. About 98 percent of the time, creditors of your other unsecured debt — things like credit cards and alike — get nothing. Items that are secured debt, such as your car or house, are treated a little bit differently. If you're behind on payments, you may be allowed to get current. In most cases, banks will allow you to re-sign in a process called reaffirming the debt.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a payment plan structured over five years. In it, you have to pay all of your secured debt. If it has a lien on it, you pay 100 percent to keep the item. You also have to pay a portion of your unsecured debt. Again — like in Chapter 7 — debt to the IRS, child support and student loans don't go away. For any other unsecured debt, you can pay a percentage of what's owed. An overall payment plan is developed, and you make those payments for five years.
I'm not a big fan of either one.

After dropping the first game of last Saturday's softball doubleheader to Post University, 8-2, host Chestnut Hill College earned three one-run leads in the second game and made the last of them hold up for a 3-2 victory.
The outcome of the second contest snapped an eight-game losing streak for the Griffins, and raised their record to 9-23 overall and 6-16 within the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference. The Post Eagles headed back to Waterbury, Conn. with a 8-17 mark in the CACC, and were 15-27 against all opponents.
Rebuilding under the guidance of second-year mentor John Kelly, former head coach at Philadelphia University, the Griffins start six freshmen in the field while a seventh rookie serves as the flex player or designated hitter.
Before the action commenced last Saturday, Chestnut Hill held a Senior Day ceremony honoring three departing upperclassmen, Cassie Benson, Mandi Rush, and Veronica Wilenta. Rush would pitch all seven innings in the second game, striking out two batters while not giving up any walks or earned runs.
In the opening game, the hosts committed two of their three total errors in the first inning. This helped lead to three runs crossing the plate for Post, including the game-winner. The Griffins got close in the bottom of the second (2-3), when freshman second baseman Julie Heaton led off with a single to left field, and then came along for the ride when classmate Allie Williams (first base) targeted the same section of the outfield for a two-run home run.
Next time up, the Eagles bumped their margin up to two runs, 4-2, and they effectively put the game out of reach at the top of the sixth with a grand slam to centerfield. Post outhit CHC 12-5 and played error-free defense behind winning hurler Ashley Cummi (4K, 1BB, 2ER). Taking the loss for Chestnut Hill was freshman Courtney Dayter (6K, 1BB, 2ER), who CHC Softballback in March pitched the first no-hitter in the history of the CHC softball program.
As mentioned, Rush was the winning pitcher for the Griffins in Saturday's second game, while the loss was hung on Post's Johanna Rice (7K, 0BB). The Griffins made four errors in the field that resulted in two unearned runs, but they outhit the Eagles 9-7. They earned all three of their runs in the game as Post played error-free defense.
Leading off for CHC in the bottom of the first, junior left fielder Sarah Mattaliano homered over the head of her Post counterpart. The home team's slim advantage held up until the top of the fourth, when Post started out with a ground-rule double that burrowed under the plastic fencing in left field. An error and a sacrifice ground-out got the lead runner home for a 1-1 tie.
Chestnut Hill inched ahead again at the bottom of the inning, beginning with base hits by Williams and Rush. After one out, Wilenta singled to right field to fill the bags, and a single dropped into shallow left field by freshman third baseman Emily Soller secured the second run of the day for the Griffins.
Chestnut Hill's 2-1 edge endured through the fifth frame, but Post pulled even again in the top of the sixth. After another ground-rule double, the runner reached third on a sacrifice fly deep to centerfield, then a throwing error helped lead to an unearned Eagles run to make it 2-2.
The CHC players persevered at the plate, acquiring the lead for good in the last of the sixth. After a fly to right field for the first out, the Griffins got everything they could wish for out of a number nine hitter, as Soller earned her second RBI of the game with a solo shot over the fence in left field a few yards inside the line. The ball followed a fairly flat trajectory, and while it wasn't a bullet, it was strong enough to clear the barrier, putting the 3-2 final score on the board.
Next, Chestnut Hill fans held their breath hoping for another solo homer, but right up against the fence, Post centerfielder Jackie Bonam caught a high, arcing ball hit by CHC's lead-off batter, Mattaliano. A ground-out retired the side, and at the top of the seventh the Griffins set about trying to preserve a one-run lead, something they'd been unable to accomplish twice before in the game.
After a ground-out and a fly ball for the first two outs, the Eagles had a glimmer of hope thanks to a single through the left side of the infield. The next batter stroked the ball to the other side, where Heaton, the second baseman, scooped it up and underhanded it to first for the final out of the afternoon.

What's your favorite kid-friendly app?
Over the past year I have reviewed quite a number of apps so it is hard to pinpoint just one! Of course, I am bias to my own storybook apps - Penelope the Purple Pirate and Gerry the Giraffe - but I really enjoy the apps that developer's Toca Boca, PicPocket Books, and Oceanhouse Media put out. They all offer something unique. PicPocket Books has a huge selection of storybook apps, Toca Boca have such great games and Oceanhouse Media offers many of the classic tales such as Dr. Seuss and The Bernstain Bears. We also love anything to do with pirates and/or treasure hunting so we are fans of Treasure Kai and The Day I Became a Pirate.

Meet the Former NASA Scientist Who's Teaching Coloradans How to Grow Marijuana Legally
Dale J. Chamberlain's High Altitude School of Hydroponics (HASH) courses are specifically designed to comply with Colorado's new cannabis law.
Even though Colorado passed Constitutional Amendment 64 legalizing the use of marijuana in November, it's still a crime to sell cannabis in the state. Sure, plenty of charitable Coloradans on Craigslist will accept "donations" for doobie. And others are happy to barter. But what if you don't have a pair of old shoes to trade for weed? How can one score an ounce of super-frosty Golden Goat in Colorado and not run afoul of the law? Former NASA scientist Dale J. Chamberlain has the answer. He'll teach you to grow it yourself, at his (acronym alert) High Altitude School of Hydroponics outside Ft. Collins.
Chamberlain knows more about far-out farming than almost anyone. At the Kennedy Space Center in the early 1990s he studied horticulture for future lunar colonies. "I assisted in building a plant-growth chamber that is still on the space shuttle," he says, explaining that low-gravity hydroponics left him uniquely prepared to handle Colorado's new legal landscape. "The law states that it must be grown in an enclosed lockable space. And although one might argue that could be a garden with a fence around it, there's more pests out there than insects and squirrels." To keep invasive teenage stoners out of your garden, Chamberlain came up with the perfect solution, a device he's dubbedThe Colorado Grow Box. "We took this chamber that was designed for the space shuttle and created a grow box similar to what was flown on NASA's space shuttle fleet."

A powerful earthquake rocked Alaska's largest city and other parts of the state's most populated region on Thursday, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
The earthquake struck with a magnitude of 5.2 shortly after 11 a.m., according to seismologists at the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center. It was centered about 50 miles southwest of Anchorage, said tsunami program manager Cindi Pressler.
The quake occurred 30 miles below ground and rumbled for several seconds. It will not generate a tsunami, the warning center said.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, said Anchorage police spokeswoman Anita Shell. The Anchorage Fire Department didn't even get any calls in the immediate aftermath, said dispatcher Lori Zaumseil, who shrugged off the shaker.
"This is Alaska," she said. "This is how we roll. We're tough."
The Alaska Earthquake Information Center said the event was widely felt in the Kenai Peninsula and Cook Inlet regions, with the strongest shaking occurring in the Peninsula communities of Sterling and Soldotna.
Andrew Smith, who works in payroll at Soldotna City Hall, said the shaking came in two rounds.
"At first, it felt like somebody was walking across the floor here, like walking real heavy. Then it stopped. Then was a five- or six-second delay, then it really shook."
The shaking continued 10 to 15 seconds, he said.
"I'm really quite scared of earthquakes," Smith said. "You just never know when they are going to stop or how long it's going to last."
Outside the Soldotna Fred Meyer store, Tracy Poitry was sitting in her car, eating lunch, when the vehicle began bobbing.
"I thought someone was messing with my car," said Poitry, a clerk in the store's home electronics department. For her, the quake was no big deal.
"We get pretty used to these around here," she said.

Last year's Super Bowl matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers was memorable for many reasons, but one key aspect missing from last year's championship game was a squad of professional cheerleaders. This year, a team with cheerleaders is guaranteed to make the Super Bowl, after Pittsburgh, the only AFC playoff team this year without cheerleaders, was eliminated.
In the off-season, one of the best ways for teams to generate buzz and get significant page views on their websites is to have a strong cheerleader page. So we went through all 32 teams, including the ones still in the playoffs, and ranked the top cheerleading squads, taking in consideration everything from presentation of the cheerleaders online, to fan interaction, community outreach and overall success of the cheerleading teams.
Although there is certainly a measure of subjectivity that goes into rankings of this nature, the cheerleader websites and the team's cheerleader-related marketing campaigns were the major factors in determining this list.
In 2011, 26 teams had cheerleaders for games and have found ways, especially online, to generate revenue from their top cheer teams. As valuations go, NFL teams are hesitant to put a dollar figure on their cheerleading squads, but the use of cheerleaders as a vehicle for marketing is certainly in the public eye.
Here is our ranking of the top 10 teams that make the most of their cheerleading squads, both on and off the field.

Broward students are getting a reminder from school officials: "You have the power to make a difference. Use it!"
In the wake of three recent attacks on students, the School District launched a new campaign on Wednesday to boost its program that allows people to anonymously warn of threats or impending violence via phone, text or the Web.
"It's not just the kids. It's the teachers, the bus drivers and the cafeteria workers who are around different places and hear things," Superintendent James Notter said.
He said the district doesn't need to create new programs to prevent violence. Instead, people must use the programs already in place.
Violent crimes on Broward campuses have increased in the past year, with six cases reported for every 1,000 students. There were roughly four incidents of battery, sexual battery, robbery, kidnapping or homicide per 1,000 students the year before.
The district on Wednesday also showed a new video that will be broadcast in all schools. In it, Notter and School Board Chairwoman Jennifer Gottlieb remind students and staff to use the Silence Hurts program to report bullying, weapons, drug use or threats.
"Our goal is the prevention of bullying and violence in our schools and our community," Gottlieb says during the seven-minute video. She mentions the bullied Massachusetts teen who committed suicide, as well as the burning of Michael Brewer by his Deerfield Beach Middle classmates and the beating of Josie Lou Ratley at the same campus.
"Silence is no longer an option," Gottlieb said.

Mary has been a consumer of the Illinois Valley Center for Independent Living (IVCIL) for several years.
IVCIL assisted Mary to locate and hire personal assistants. A personal assistant is an individual who assists a person with a disability in activities of daily living, such as personal care, meal preparation, housekeeping, shopping, and errands. Personal assistants allow individuals with disabilities to live at home instead of being placed in a nursing home, other care facility, or an institution.
IVCIL locates personal assistants and maintains a registry of personal assistants who have attended IVCIL's orientation training and passed a background check. Orientations for prospective personal assistants are held once a month in various locations around IVCIL's service area. Personal assistants specify what skills they possess, what hours they are available for employment, and which areas they are willing to travel to. All of this information is then entered into the IVCIL's registry. However, IVCIL is not the employer – the consumer is the employer.
Mary lives independently in her own home and employs three personal assistants who work shifts. This past year, she had to have surgery for a hip replacement and was in the hospital for over a week. Instead of going to a nursing home for rehabilitation, she was able to return home and recuperate there. This would not have been possible without the support of her personal assistants. With their help, she can go grocery shopping and eat out, a favorite past-time. Despite her health problems, Mary has been active in advocating for accessibility in several public places in Princeton and has filed complaints with the Disability Rights Bureau in Springfield. Her goal now is to complete therapy and be authorized to drive again. Her personal assistants help her towards this goal by assisting her with her prescribed therapy exercises on a daily basis. She speaks glowingly of all three ladies – they are an integral part of her life, enabling her to age in the comfort of her own home.
The Illinois Valley Center for Independent Living can be reached at 815-224-3126. The Bureau County United Way is located at 401 S. Main Street in Princeton and provides funding help for 15 local non profit member agencies, as well as providing a variety of community services. Call the Bureau County United Way at 815-872-0821 for information on how you can lend a helping hand to those in need in Bureau County.
Goal: $120,000.00
Pledged: $44,133.89

Zillow.com and Trulia.com have been breakthrough sites that allowed consumers social media functionality in finding listings, property values, and information down to the neighborhood level. Real estate world meet your new neighbor: Google Maps. In a solid article outlining the new Google move Searchengineland.com's ,"Land Grab: Google Expands Real Estate Listings" announces the "new kid on the block." According to writer Matt McGee: "Google has expanded its real estate listings and added extra search functionality for users to find property listings in."
New Search Feature
In the old version of Google Maps, the search function would return basic information such as listings of real estate agents and brokers on a map. Such as a search for San Francisco real estate produced a basic map
Now if you are searching you will find right below the search box, a new "invitation" to search current real estate listings. The results for a search "san francisco real estate" returns:
And comprehensive maps like this:
Google's Source of Information: Scraping Listings?
According to McGee the search results are coming from sources such as "real estate brokerages and agents, many of whom upload listings into Google Base as part of their online marketing.. ."
McGee asserts that "Google is also getting listings from sources such as Homes & Land and The Real Estate Book and similar sites that advertise listings for participating real estate professionals."
The dilemma now for Realtors and brokers is whether to list their properties in Google base or other sites that can be readily accessed and repurposed by Google for their own search engine listings within Google Maps. Finally, the National Association of Realtors has already accused Google of scraping it's MLS listings thus stealing their competitive advantage. Where do Realtors go from here? What is your take on this new player in the real estate market? Only time will tell.

Charges filed in hit-and-run crash that killed horse
Don Jackson surrenders to police Tuesday
Charges filed in hit-and-run crash that killed horse
Don Jackson surrenders to police Tuesday
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Police said Jackson was behind the wheel of a rented Nissan Pathfinder that struck the horse at 63rd Street and Blue Parkway on Sept. 22. The horse was killed in the wreck and its rider, Dawn Dudley, was knocked unconscious and suffered other injuries.
Jackson surrendered to authorities on Tuesday.
Prosecutors have filed charges against a Kansas City man accused of hitting a horse that was being ridden on Blue Parkway last month.
Don Jackson is charged with leaving the scene of an accident, third-degree assault and careless and imprudent driving.
A second horse that was with them was also injured.
Police said tips led them to Dick Smith Ford and Enterprise Car Rental, which traced a damaged vehicle to Jackson. Police said Jackson told people at the businesses that he had damaged the Pathfinder after hitting a "horse or a deer."
Investigators said they were also able to match a boot print left on the Pathfinder with a boot that Dawn Dudley's husband, Chuck Dudley, was wearing.
Jackson surrendered to authorities on Tuesday.

In this specific case, I have two cells within the same row which should of course be horizontally aligned. But when the height of the content within these cells does not match, there seems to be vertical alignment issues. A watered down example of this is below:

Trololo Headline

More content and such

Less content on the right

And of course the CSS for those classes:
.styleTable {
font-size: 12px;
width: 100%;
display: table;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
.styleRow {
font-size: 12px;
display: table-row;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
.styleCell {
font-size: 12px;
display: table-cell;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
In an example like this, with the addition of an
 tag on the left, the content in the left cell will force that cell to have a greater height, which in turn makes the cell on the right to align its content towards the center of the cell on the left. Thus you get one cell with normal looking content and the other is lowered, making things look wrong.
Any enlightment on a possible solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated as I seem to run in to it far too often now.

Randy R wrote:I'm curious as to the general view on this question. Do you ever eat cheese with sweet things like jelly or jam? I just noticed a new line of jams in the supermarket placed on the "gourmet" cheese shelf with the mention that they are made specifically to accompany cheeses. Some have thyme or basil or lavender in them, others, like fig, are pure.
I'd say generally not, with one broad exception: It's not at all unusual to use cream cheeses, including mascarpone and possibly very mild goat cheeses, in recipes involving jelly, jam, fruit preserves, etc. I love to dollop mascarpone on halved fresh figs. And at least in the U.S., an old horse doover of the '60s involves dolloping jam on top of a block of Philadelphia Cream Cheese and dipping it up with crackers until you've got a nasty, sticky mess. (In Louisville, a traditional variation involves replacing the jam with a sweet-savory concoction called Henry Bain Sauce that has Major Grey's Chutney and Worcestershire sauce in it ... )

A Side of Southern
December 20, 2011
If you live in the South, you probably know a thing or two about Pimento Cheese. It's a summertime staple, for one, and the secret to amazing PC is extra sharp cheddar. You can dress it up by adding dill, jalapenos or even bacon.
This gooey side-dish was a hit at Thanksgiving and has already been requested for upcoming gatherings. The cheese sauce is to-die-for and I think if you added a little chicken stock, you could turn it into a mean Pimento Cheese Soup. I've also thought you could layer with crispy hash browns for a great breakfast casserole — especially on Christmas morning. But back to the recipe at hand…
Pimento Cheese Gratin
3 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
1 1⁄2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1⁄4-inch thick rounds
3⁄4 cup heavy cream
3 shallots, finely diced (scant 1⁄2 cup)
1⁄4 teaspoon crushed dried red chile flakes
1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
One 9-ounce jar roasted red peppers or piquillo peppers, with their liquid
8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (about 2 cups)
1. Heat the oven to 375°F, with racks positioned in the middle and the top third of the oven. In a 3- to 4-quart stockpot, bring 2 quarts water and 2 teaspoons of the salt to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes. Then drain, and set them aside.
2. Combine the cream, shallots, chile flakes, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, the black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the liquid from the jar of roasted peppers in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the chile flakes have begun to stain the cream, about 2 minutes. Add half of the cheese and stir until it melts, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat.
3. Layer roughly a third of the potatoes in a 6-cup baking dish, overlapping them slightly so that they fit in an even layer. Scatter half of the roasted peppers on top of the potatoes (cut up any peppers that have remained whole so that they lie flat), and repeat layering potatoes and peppers until all the peppers and potatoes have been used. Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes and peppers, and agitate the dish to distribute the liquid throughout. Cover with aluminum foil and bake on the middle rack for 15 minutes.
4. Uncover the dish, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, and place the dish on the top oven rack. Bake for 8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and gently browned on top. Serve immediately.
A little hint: You can assemble this dish ahead of time and pop in the oven when you're ready.

The key problem for Egypt is that the army refuses to accept any democratic oversight. Bear in mind that the army controls half the economy. In Eastern Europe the solution to problem of an economy nominally run by the state but in fact controlled by a nomenklatura was privatization. I don't believe that was the best solution but it was one that made democracy possible. The alternative is to establish genuine democratic oversight over such an economy. However, to simply leave such a nomenklatura in control means that the dictatorship continues even if it may be disguised by a veneer of democratic trappings.Markos wrote:
ἐν δὲ τῇ γῇ ἡμῶν σήμερον ἄγομεν τῆν τῆς ἐλευθερίας ἑορτήν. (λέγω τὸ Fourth of July.) ἀναγινώσκομεν οὖν τὸν Ἰεφφερσον. φήμι δὲ τὸ ...That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it... νομίζω δὲ ὅτι οἱ ἐν τῷ Αἰγύπτῃ νῦν τούτους τοὺς καλοὺς λόγους
οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι ἐκβάλλουσι δὴ τὸν ἄρχοντα.
The recent coup makes the position of that nomeklatura impregnable.
My guess of half the economy was way out. 10-15% would be closer. However the army pays no tax and can ignore the red tape that private industry complains about. For such a privileged body to be outside democratic accountability is incompatible with democracy.

If Daryl Dies We Riot Crossbow Mug
Throwing the book at us won't help
- Mug reads "IF DARYL DIES WE RIOT" in white ink over red blood spatter
- Metal handle is shaped like a crossbow
- Capacity: 15 oz.
Just give me my coffee. I stand behind my decision.Characteristics HBO's Game of Thrones & AMC's Walking Dead have in common:
- Andrew Lincoln (Rick) talking to Norman Reedus (Daryl) about an experience in his local coffee shop the morning after a controversial episode aired (full interview at Daily Beast - spoiler alert)
- Seemingly main characters die frequently and often unexpectedly.
- Fans of the print version generally know ahead of time who not to get too attached to. Not always. But often.
It gets weird, though, when the television series strays from the original source. For instance, Daryl Dixon. The character doesn't exist in the comic, which means AMC could theoretically kill him off at any time. We all make choices. Some of them are easy. Some of them are controversial. But we're just sayin'. They'd better not kill off Daryl.

Pets, Pets, Pets
I was so saddened to read the news. Paul Moran, Newsday's horse racing columnist from 1985 to 2007, died last month at age 66. A recipient of numerous press awards, Mr. Moran, known for his sculpted sentences and incredible imagery, could depict a Thoroughbred's feats like no other. His readers heard the hooves pound and smelled the mud kicked up at the finish line. These racing reports mesmerized, but, to me, his incredible act of kindness to my third-grade students is as memorable.
Mr. Moran lost a long battle with lung cancer on Nov. 9 in Saratoga Springs. He was a brilliant writer and an authority on racing who adored the horses that he so adeptly deified. While at Newsday he won two Eclipse Awards for outstanding coverage of Thoroughbred racing, one in 1990 for his heart-wrenching account of the fatal accident of filly champion Go for Wand during the Breeders' Cup at Belmont.
So in the spring of 1994 (during the Pre-Google Era) when a group of my third-graders reading the book Old Bones the Wonder Horse by Mildred Mastin Pace had questions about Exterminator, the surprise "dark horse" winner of the 1918 Kentucky Derby, we wrote to the ultimate expert- Mr. Moran. We were blown away by his response and invitation.
Everyone loves the "under dog," especially when he's a horse, of course. Exterminator's story has all the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster. In 1918, Exterminator was purchased as a clumsy-looking work horse to help Sun Briar, the prized prospect, prepare for the Derby. Exterminator's smarts at figuring out what he was supposed to do and his ability to run in the rain impressed his trainer. Sun Briar became ill the night before the Run for the Roses, so Exterminator took his place on a very muddy track at odds of 30-1. He stayed at the back of the pack until the turn for home, and then flew, passing one horse after another and winning the Derby by a length. His triumph occurred while we were embroiled in World War I.
As a gelding, Exterminator (aka "Old Bones") continued with a long racing career and an impressive record of 50 wins out of 99 races. In the 1920s, Ernest Hemingway compared his own talents as a sure bet to Exterminator when bargaining for better percentages from his publisher. The Derby champ raced until he was nine years old, and then enjoyed many years of retirement. His record of 33 stakes wins still stands as best for a North American Thoroughbred. His owner's widow would throw "Old Bones" birthday parties. Hundreds of children, adult fans too, would arrive with gifts of carrots, oats and other treats. Exterminator died at age 30 and is buried alongside many of his companion ponies, all named "Peanuts." Exterminator shares a tombstone with his stable mate Sun Briar in Binghamton, NY.
Mr. Moran answered our Exterminator questions and then followed up with a wonderful Newsday 6/2/94 article-"Kids to Save Age-Old Game" about the future of horse racing. He quoted my students. My district, which will remain nameless, had a series of colorful superintendents. The reigning czar, who would quote himself and Einstein in the same sentence, quipped: "Leave it to Anderson to get her students into a horse racing column." He also thought it was funny to have me paged if a stray dog surfaced on any district playground. He wanted me to find him a Golden Retriever. I never did.
Then Mr. Moran called and invited my class to Belmont. It was right before the Belmont Stakes and we would be treated to a private tour of the stables while the horses exercised in the early morning before betting windows opened. Kentucky Derby winners were staying there. The superintendent said: "No, it's inappropriate to take a field trip to a horse track." He missed the point that we were asked by an incredible writer to visit top equine athletes at an historic LI landmark. The Derby itself is the oldest continuous sporting event in our nation. All Americana. All memorable for these eight- and nine-year-olds.
Their parents were up in arms. They complained to the district office at the lost opportunity. They offered to pay for a charter bus or to carpool the kids but the superintendent wouldn't budge. Mr. Moran didn't give up. He contacted the Thoroughbred Racing Communications (TRC). They arranged to bring a very special horse into school. Abraham, an adorable miniature horse with a luxurious mane, came to meet the entire third grade. He posed inside our library after the TRC program where 200 kids got a chance to pet and brush him. TRC sent us tons of reading and fun activities too, and then filmed a segment at school for a TV sports channel about children as the future of horse racing.
Newsday's 11/10/13 obituary said: "Moran, an animal lover, was fond of cats. He adopted brothers Felix and Oscar, and grieved when Felix died in July. He recently gave Oscar to a friend because he could no longer care for him. In recent years he owned Thoroughbreds trained by H. James Bond." The piece ended: "Funeral arrangements are pending. Moran wished to be cremated and have his ashes scattered over Go for Wand's grave in the infield at Saratoga." His final statement poignantly punctuated.
For Adoption at Babylon Town Shelter (631- 643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon: "Winnie" 3-534 is a special, affectionate young calico. She has a deformed skull, giving her a unique face. X-rays do not reveal anything obviously wrong. "Jake" 13-613 is a current Pit favorite of the staff and volunteers. He is calm and tolerant of other dogs on walks.

The party also wants schools to install complaint boxes, appoint only women teachers in government girls' schools and introduce online complaint booking facility to assure protection.india Updated: Sep 07, 2013 16:13 IST
Alleging that girls in most government schools in Puducherry were facing sexual harassment, BJP on Saturday asked the territorial administration in Puducherry to supply overcoats to students in middle and high schools so that they could be assured of protection.
The government should ensure that all girl students beyond class five and upto class X in government schools were provided overcoats so that they could be assured of protection, BJP's Puducherry general secretary RV Swaminathan said in a release.
Complaint boxes should be installed in all the schools and students facing threat to their safety could draw the attention of authorities, he said, adding, the victims belonging to poor families did not come forward to complain.
Seeking stern action against teachers accused of sexual assault on girl students, Swaminathan said government should post only women teachers in government girls' schools. In co-education institutions there should be "balanced appointment" of women teachers.
He also wanted introduction of online complaint booking facility for girls students to complain about such incidents.

Best Kids Parties: Flowers
Name: Marti (5)
Location: San Diego, CA
For Marti's 5th birthday she chose a flower theme. We decorated the walls, the tea party table, the invite and the goody bags with cut paper flowers. When the guests arrived, the moms, big sisters and grandmas got to work making daisy chains while the girls had their hair decorated with flowers.
The second activity was to make bouquets from fresh flowers and choose ribbons to decorate them with. The girls, wearing daisy chain crowns and flowers in their braids, then posed for photos holding their newly made bouquets. Lunch was a tea party with butterfly topped tea sandwiches and marshmallows styled into flowers. Each girl got their own flower petit four cake. Lunch was followed by a butterfly pinata and a "Pin the Fairy on the Flower" game, both in the garden.
Thanks Carmina!

A pair of top-10 football teams from different national organizations meet when UW-Oshkosh travels to Marian University (Ind.) on Saturday (Sept. 14). Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. (ET) at St. Vincent Field in Indianapolis.
The Titans (1-0) are ranked 10th in the NCAA Division III, while the Knights (1-1) list second in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Top 25. Marian University won the 2012 NAIA Championship with a 12-1 record.
The Knights are coming off a 31-24 overtime loss to fourth-ranked Saint Xavier University (Ill.). Marian University recorded a 23-0 win over Kentucky Christian University in its season opener.
Tevin Lake has led the Marian University offense so far with 200 yards and four touchdowns rushing. The passing game goes through quarterback Joey Hecklinski (364 yards) and receiver Anthony Jones Jr. (177 yards). On defense, linebacker Ryan Hartnett tops the squad with 12 tackles and two sacks.
UW-Oshkosh stormed back from a 17-point deficit in last week's 24-20 victory at Central College (Iowa). Nick Olla threw for 325 yards in his first career start, while Cory Wipperfurth had two catches of 56+ yards. The Titans also stepped up on defense, with Austin Blashka intercepting two passes and Dexter Charles registering 1.5 sacks.
A total of 44 lettermen and 12 starters return from a UW-Oshkosh team that reached the semifinals of the 2012 NCAA Division III Championship. UW-Oshkosh started 13-0 and captured a WIAC title on the way to its first playoff appearance.
This is the first meeting between the two schools. UW-Oshkosh's last NAIA opponent was Ohio Dominican University in 2009.

People Behind KDE: Daniel Molkentin
For the next interview in the fortnightly People Behind KDE series we meet a developer who has unfinished business with midges, someone who prefers bullets to stars - tonight's star of People Behind KDE is Daniel Molkentin.
I just noticed that this series is in its third season and on a new domain to boot. Glad to see People Behind KDE alive, and to be reading this interview.
Amazing to think that Daniel was just 15 years old when he first heard of KDE!

Re: awesome
Hi, I met Daniel at the KDE anniversary in Esslingen. He really is a nice guy with great visions for KDE.
By Bernhard Rode at Thu, 2007/01/18 - 6:00am
Bullets are great!!!
Thanks Daniel for changing stars to bullets.. they really look cool with password fields..
Frugalware 0.6rc2 and kubuntu feisty 7.04 already has your contribution :)
By Asif Ali Rizwaan at Thu, 2007/01/18 - 6:00am
Re: Bullets are great!!!
There is no Kubuntu Feisty 7.04 yet and every distro release or development version shipping KDE 3.5.6 will feature that.
By Anonymous at Thu, 2007/01/18 - 6:00am
Re: Bullets are great!!!
And FC6 will almost certainly get 3.5.6 as an update, so unless you're using the development version of Feisty or backported packages from kde.org, we'll likely get it before you. :-)

Yeah, but it can be quite upsetting when I think about it. I just had words of condolences from an acquaintance. However, this reminded me of some callous responses. One from an organisation, which my mother was a member. There was not even a "I am sorry to hear that". Just that my mother's name would be removed from the database and that there would be no representative (not even if paid) to attend the funeral - this is only the privilege of the Board of Directors. The staff just hanged up on me when I questioned more.DAWN wrote:Peoples with bounded eyes are running

The wise one have compassion of them
So the wise one dont collide with them
There was another woman, who was the daughter of an old neighbour. I had called her to inform about my mother's wake. This daughter just irritably told me that her mother had difficulty attending because of her chronic illness. I expressed that I was sorry to hear that. Yet, there was not a single word of condolence from this woman. She just said "I will inform my mother and see what she wants to do with it" and then heavily put the phone down. I was really upset and questioned why do I keep on encountering such rude people; they are disrespectful even to the deceased. My mother had given this woman gifts when she was younger...
Sorry for the rant; this was one of my ways of coping with the loss...
