The Myth of Iran
by Winston Smith, Sun Apr 16, 2006 at 05:34:39 PM EDT
The United States cannot take any military action against Iran. This is a result of Bush's incompetent leadership, which has left our military demoralized and over-extended, our people war-weary, and our country diplomatically compromised. I will explain why this is an obvious fact shortly, but before I do, I want to say that discussion that action against Iran is a possibility plays directly into the neo-con's hands. This is the theory of pre-emptive war: it only has to happen one time. After a nation proves that it will causally declare war, weaker nations will quake in fear at the threat of war. It may have worked if the invasion of Iraq had gone well, but it didn't, and the rest of the world knows it.
Is anybody suprised by the sabre-rattling? I am not, but I am suprised that few people can see through it. War is against Iran is impossible. Suggestions that it is possible advance a neocon narrative.
Why is it impossible to take military action against Iran?
First: Too many political risks. Many people blogging these days talk about how unstable Bush is, and how he will declare war at the drop of a hat. Were any of you people living in the US in 2003? Bush was not some maverick war-mad renegade, but rather, because the Democrats refused to engage in any kind of critical debate prior to the invasion, Bush took no short-term political risks in starting the Iraq war. I have been opposed to any action against Iraq since September 11, 2001. When the issue was first raised after the attacks, it just made me laugh, thinking how confused people can get. Now, seeing how things have unfolded since then has made me ashamed of this fickle people, but in March 2003, 2/3 of the US population supported the invasion of Iraq.
Today, consequences of declaring war against Iran are huge, in the short-term, and the neo-con cabal that run this government have proven themselves to be pandering political cowards. They don't have the courage to take real, short-term political risks.
Second: To paraphrase the '92 Clinton campaign, "It's Iraq, stupid." The only coherent military and diplomatic goal of this administration is to stabilize Iraq, and to limit US casualties. The Bush government cannot afford a major destabilization of Iraq, especially at this time. Bombing Iran may slow the Iranian development of nuclear weapons. Doubtful, but possible. But what would this do to the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan? Iran, bordering both countries, is in a position to seriously fuck with US occupation forces, and that is one thing that Bush cannot risk politically. More dangerous, it would lead to popular revolts against US occupation in both countries. This is obvious and inevitable.
Third: "It's gas prices, stupid." Any military action against Iran would lead to huge increases in the price of oil. This would be speculative. The US would control the waters of the gulf, including the Strait, and its airspace, within hours of an attack on Iran, and oil would still easily flow from SA and the emirates. But the markets would react violently, and this could threaten the global economy.
A more immediate risk to US energy interests is Venezuela. Oil from Venezuela accounts for almost 20% of US imports, and Chavez, the president of Venezuela has stated emphatically that if the US bombs Iran, all oil to the US would be cut off. It takes 3 days to get a tanker from Venezuela to the US. It takes weeks from Saudi Arabia. The neocons know that we cannot risk losing Venezuelan oil.
There are a lot of other reasons why no military action against Iran can be taken. The cartoon riots throughout the Muslim world come to mind. All this Iran war sabre-rattling is neo-con ego, and empty posturing, sound and fury signifying nothing.

MLB 13 The Show video shows off evolution of 'The Road'
The focus in MLB 13 The Show this year is all on player's progress and achievement. We'll soon give you our thoughts on the latest baseball game, but for now have a look at the new developer blog video below detailing the Road to the Show. Everything has been revamped this year--realistic camera perspectives, new fielding controls, simulator screen, and three different simulation speeds. The focus on presentation gives players the first-person audio perspective, too.
There is a lot to go over and we'll have a full review next week. MLB 13 The Show is out March 5 for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita.

I do think the U.S team is stronger this year than the last 2 years. The problem is this years Worlds is going to be alot tougher than the last 2 years which were both pretty weak. That is why the U.S really blew it not getting 3 spots back those 2 years and allowing 2 injured skaters who were overmarked at Nationals to go as their number 2 both times. Gold and Wagner have a good shot at 3 spots back if both have a great competition, but that seems tough to count on at this point. More likely probably is hoping one has a great competition and one a so so one, and hoping that might be enough, which it still might be.
The commentator is delusional or blind, and the U.S. hype engine is alive and well. Hope Gracie can ignore it all.
I've been reading the posts in this thread w/ a lot of interest. The struggle for 3 spots should be taken into context of US ladies skating over the last couple of decades.
The US has been blessed (and spoiled) by Kwan. Since the mid 90s, she could be counted on to finish on the podium, which meant that a 2nd US lady only needed a top 10 finish at Worlds to continue the 3 spot advantage. Additionally, the US had other stars such as Tara Lipinski, Sarah Hughes and Sasha Cohen to hold up their end of their bargain, and they went beyond just top 10, competing as strong medal threats themselves. In Tara's case, a GOLD medal threat.
But, if you think about it, beyond Kwan-Lipinski, Kwan-Hughes, Kwan-Hughes-Cohen, and Kwan-Cohen, the US landscape was always dominated by unpredictable skaters such as Ervin, Kwiatkowski, Bobek, Nikodinov, Kirk, McDonough, and Liang.
After Hughes left skating, Kwan-Cohen kept it alive for a couple of years, but Kirk could be predicted to finish around 15th place at Worlds.
Kwan and Cohen were gone by '06 and that left a whole new batch of ladies to struggle under a new scoring system that no one was properly prepared for.
It really isn't a surprise that we are where we are.
Now, if any one of the current crop of US ladies can pull a rabbit out of her hat, it's Wagner. She's competitive. She's no dummy and can see that Yu Na is back in form, Mao is close to securing the 3x, Carolina and the Russian babies are peaking. I sense she gets motivated by competition, and you can bet she and her team are working towards the 3-3 in the SP and a 2x-3t in the LP. Staying away from 4CC's was a smart move, too.
But, the problem we are running into is that Ashley and Gracie have not established any momentum via Nationals or 4CC's, to lay out strong programs at 90% capacity, perhaps test driving 3-3s (in Ashley's case) or steadier jumps and stronger choreography (in Gracie's case). Still, they have some time and they only have to travel to Canada for Worlds.
Lord knows that Worlds will be interesting!
Wagner had a very good early season but has not been skating well since. It may be the injuries etc, and she may very well be back in form by worlds.. But the way this team was selected there are so many problems.
Shouldn't consistency/plus how well your skating at the moment determine this team? It just seems to me lately USFSA has been looking at potential while not considering consistency. I.e maybe we will get lucky and Alissa will skate clean.. Or they have been looking at someone who has had good early season results but not necessarily skating well at the moment. See Flatt and Czisny the last two years...
I just feel we need a system that takes into account potential, consistency, and how well you are skating at the moment..... (Three months between Nationals and Worlds is a heck of a long time)
I guess I'm saying is I think that Gao with her international results this season deserved far more consideration than she got...By the US judges.. (Hicks too I think deserves more consideration as well. She should be at Four Continents-not Agnes) But there's a little bit of hypocrisy that Ashley's results this season matter- but Gao's don't. Because Gao frankly has been the most consistent lady this season...However consistency only seems to matter if your a favorite. (Gao vs Gold) And having a much better free skate only seems to matter if your a favorite (Gao vs Wagner)
That's why I'm calling this system unfair.

Olympic is right though that the depth of U.S ladies skating began to wane during the Kwan era, and even a bit before. People just didnt notice it since they loved Michelle so much and there was usually atleast 1 other capable star be it Tara, Hughes, or Cohen with her. However the depth was not what it used to be, and that is coming to fruition now in the post Kwan and Cohen era. In hindsight the signs of this have been about 20 years in the making though. The 92 and 93 Nationals were quite poor overall, where there was only 1 women each time who landed more than 3 triples cleanly (and in 93 that wasnt even the winner, a stumbling and bumbling Kerrigan who preceded her Worlds disaester with her pitiful winning performance, but a 12 year old Kwan who came 6th) a a sign of regressing depth for U.S women relative to what it had always been before, and it has continued since.
I think the US ladies team is strong enough to occasionally get 3 spots or even medal once or twice at worlds, even if the team loses the third spot again the following year. Just look at the Russians-- even without Plushenko, the team managed to medal at worlds once (Gachinski), though the team also had some rather unlucky worlds where they were down to one spot. The US ladies team, OTOH, has been doing about the same the last few years. I think it shows that USFS is more conservative in its selection, which translates to more conservative results; while sometimes the Russians seized openings and gambled (and had it paid off), even if they also lost big at some worlds.
I guess the point is, are we (i.e. is USFS) wasting time trying to find the next Kwan or Cohen? It's a new system, and a new era. It still seems to me that many folks are still stuck in the old days (some in USFS, NBC TV, some overzealous fans) with the way they heap tons and tons of pressure & expectations on Gracie Gold even though she was largely untested under the spotlight. This is her first season and she's ALREADY expected to save US skating? It's obviously been affecting her as you can see from her performances. And her nationals freeskate left Bezic of NBC to declare that US skating has found its new star. Umm, not so fast? Perhaps it may be in her future, but why do I get the feeling some are trying to project Hughes, Cohen and/or Lipinski onto her?
Then again - if we had 3 spots this year - assuming all else the same guess who'd have been number 3? Not Gao...but ZAWADZKI for goodness sake. Who's to say with Wagner/Gold/Zawadzki we wouldn't have lost it again this year anyway?
Agnes needs both better packaging that showcase her talents better and way more consistency in competition. She needs both of those things to be fixed if she is ever to live up to her huge potential she showed coming 2nd at Junior Worlds.
Nationals was very odd in terms of results. I think that Ashley should have finished like 3rd or 4th overall but named to the World Team anyway, provided she attended 4CC or some other test skate/competition/monitoring session before Worlds to prove she was healthy, not injured, and in form to compete there. However, that would mean Gracie would have won Nationals after that disaster of a SP, so that wouldn't be a good call either. Agnes was 3rd and didn't deserve to win either. Hicks skated 2 strong programs but apart from her technical ability the rest of her skating is not quite national championship material. So that leaves Christina. In some ways, I think an argument could be made that Gao should have won Nationals. Call me crazy, but her SP was not as bad as Gracie's and her FS was almost as good - the points spread should have been a lot bigger in the SP and considerably smaller in the FS which would put Gao ahead overall, Wagner had a deserved edge in the SP but it shouldn't have been as much as it was and then her FS was much weaker than Gao's, Agnes had a fall in the SP but otherwise the program was good - if fairly marked she and Gao would have had very similar scores in the SP, but then Gao had a better FS - even USFS judges agreed with that, but the margin should have been a bit bigger than the 3 points it was, so Gao would have gone ahead, I was alright with Hicks being slightly ahead of Gao after the SP due to her explosive jumps, but with that big pop in the FS, her FS score should have been a few points lower than Christina instead of a couple points higher, meaning Christina would have come out ahead. Arguably the results of US Nats should have been Gao 1st, Gold 2nd, and then I still can't decide the order for 3rd-5th between Wagner, Zawadzki, and Hicks.
But I will say it seems like Gracie gets held up for bad skates internationally too - not in the SP maybe, but 4CC was the second time she got a respectable FS score for a performance that was pretty much a mess - COR was the first time. I mean, Gao outscored her by 10 points here, but Gracie's 166 is a decent number for a competition that was not a total disaster but not far from it.

Molly Ringwald, America's sweetheart and teen idol from the 1980's opens the Gordon Center's 20th season with an enchanting jazz performance.

Update, 4:30 p.m. Thursday: A Michigan Republican committee voted Thursday to award 16 of the state's 30 delegates to the Republican National Convention to Mitt Romney and the remaining 14 to Rick Santorum.
Michigan's Tuesday Republican presidential primary showed the candidates splitting the state's delegates, though Romney won the popular vote.
The committee voted 4-2 to give Romney Michigan's two at-large delegates, according to MIRS.
Michigan Republicans award delegates based on congressional districts – two for each of the state's 14 districts – and two more awarded by the statewide vote.
2 p.m. Wednesday: Mitt Romney's campaign got Tuesday night after learning that the candidate had won the popular vote in Republican presidential primaries in Michigan and Arizona.
The Michigan native took 41 percent of the overall vote in Michigan, compared with Santorum's 38 percent, and easily won Arizona 47 percent to 27 percent.
Many major media outlets are saying Tuesday's primary successes are exactly what Romney's campaign needed to boost momentum before 10 states hold primaries next week on what is called Super Tuesday.
However, Santorum's campaign is also calling Michigan a success, in light of reports Wednesday that the two candidates will likely split Michigan's 30 delegates nearly in half.
"Strategically, we were targeting delegates more than anything else," said John Brabender, a senior advisor for the Santorum campaign, during a conference call Wednesday afternoon.
The call was held in hopes of changing the storyline of the outcome of the Michigan primary in Santorum's favor, Brabender said.
"Despite outspending us by a great amount and being on his own turf, we managed to tie in Michigan," he said. "And that is a disaster for Romney."
Two delegates are awarded for each of Michigan's 14 congressional districts won by a candidate and two additional delegates are awarded to the candidate with the highest overall vote.
Romney won seven congressional districts in southeast Michigan and the Thumb, while Santorum, former senator of Pennsylvania, won six districts in west and northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.
The results of the 13th District, the last to be counted, still aren't final, but it seems likely it will go to Santorum. It includes the east side of Detroit, the Grosse Pointes, Harper Woods and several downriver communities. It would be the only southeast Michigan district won by Santorum.
If Santorum wins it, the two candidates will split the congressional delegates evenly.

Corsicana —
George Alexander Louis was born on Monday, July 22 at 4:24 PM. The future king of England weighed 8lbs and 6oz. The announcement was placed on an easel outside Buckingham Palace. The next day the Royal guard fired a 62 gun salute at the Tower of London and a 41 gun salute at Green Park in honor of the newborn prince. The bells at Westminster Abbey rang for three hours and the world celebrated.
Two years ago I wrote about William and Kate when they beamed into each other's eyes and repeated their vows. Last week they were both beaming as they presented their baby boy to the world.
Every mother who has given birth and every father who has held his infant son or daughter knows that every birth is a miracle. When I held each of my children in my arms I was overcome with the same thought: "This is my flesh breathing in another breast, my heart beating in another chest, my blood flowing in a child at rest."
God created us male and female and blessed us with the miracle of procreation. Every one of us is the result of this mysterious design since the beginning of creation, the union of a man and a woman producing a new and unique life.
When David reflected on this profound mystery he wrote, "You wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them." (Psalm 139).
Just as the world celebrated the birth of England's young prince, God celebrates the birth of every baby that is born. They are precious in his sight. If every hair of our head is numbered, and if a single sparrow does not fall without His knowledge, how much more does God treasure the first cry of every infant born in the most obscure village or the poorest slum.
Of course there is one birth that defines all others. Every event in history is dated in reference to it. By His birth our own life is elevated to eternal significance and we find our connection with the Creator.
The prophets predicted His birth saying, " For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." The angel announced it, "she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins."

Crusaders Start Season 3-0 With Win Over Niagara
Saturday, November 18, 2006Valparaiso used key 3-pointers late in the second half from Shawn Huff (Helsinki, Finland/Makelanrinne) and Samuel Haanpaa (Kerava, Finland/Cornerstone [Texas] Christian) to pull away from Niagara Saturday evening, 70-58.
The Crusaders start the season 3-0 for the second consecutive season. In addition, Valpo has won its first two road games of the season for the first time since the 1966-67 campaign.
Niagara's Rydell Brooks converted a three-point play at the final media timeout of the game to cut Valpo's lead to three at 54-51. But the Crusaders moved the ball around the Purple Eagles' zone, and Brandon McPherson (Indianapolis, Ind./Lawrence North) found a wide-open Huff in the right corner to extend the lead to six.
Just over a minute later, McPherson again found an open shooter, but this time it was Haanpaa about 25 feet away from the basket. The freshman coolly drained his fifth 3-pointer of the contest to ice the game for Valpo.
The Crusaders jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead at the start of the game and extended the margin to eight (14-6) at the second media timeout. The Purple Eagles answered, however, going on a 9-3 run to cut the Valpo lead to two at 17-15.
Huff scored five points to propel the Crusaders on an 11-0 run of their own, capped by a fast break layup by Calum MacLeod (Wellington, New Zealand/Hutt Valley [Northeastern J.C.]) to make it a 28-15 game. The teams would trade baskets over the next two minutes before a three-point play from Brooks with two seconds left in the half cut the Valpo led to 33-24 at the half.
Niagara began the second half on a 9-2 run, including two fast-break buckets by Tyrone Lewis, to cut the Crusaders' lead to 35-33, the closest the game had been since midway through the first half. But Haanpaa drained his second 3-pointer of the game to quiet the Gallagher Center crowd and extend the lead back to five.
Haanpaa hit another triple with 11:52 to play to make Valpo's lead 45-37, but the Purple Eagles answered with a 9-3 run over the next four minutes to cut the lead to two. The two squads traded baskets over the next four minutes before the Huff and Haanpaa 3-pointers gave Valpo a comfortable lead.
Igbavboa registered a new career-high with 19 points to lead three Crusaders in double figures. Haanpaa came off the bench for 15 points, his career-best output, while Huff added 10 points of his own. Igbavboa also pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds for his third double-double in as many games. McPherson led all players with seven assists, while Jake Diebler (Upper Sandusky, Ohio/Upper Sandusky) pulled down six rebounds and dished out four assists without a turnover.
Tyrone Lewis paced the Purple Eagles with 15 points. Brooks and Clif Brown added 12 points apiece, while Stanley Hodge led Niagara with 10 rebounds.
The Crusaders hit 24-of-46 (52.2%) shots from the field, compared to just 22-of-69 shooting for Niagara (0-2). The Purple Eagles especially struggled from long range, hitting a miniscule 2-of-26 from behind the arc, whereas Valpo nailed 10-of-22 3-pointers.
Valparaiso (3-0) will conclude its three-game road trip Tuesday evening, traveling to Raleigh to take on ACC foe North Carolina State for the first time in program history. The tip is set for 6 p.m. Central time, and as always, all the action can be heard live on the Valpo Sports Radio Network and online at www.valpo.edu/athletics.

Bottled Water: The New Cigarette
Chicago Alderman George Cardenas wants to place a new tax of up to 25 cents on the cost of every bottle to help close a $217 million budget gap. "People enjoy jogging or driving with a bottle of water. There's a cost associated with this behavior. You have to pay for it" said Cardenas. You may be surprised to learn that there's a social cost associated with drinking bottled water -- afterall, it was your choice to buy and consume it. Cardenas argues that city's $40 million shortfall in water and sewer funds is because more taxpayers, I mean residents, are choosing to buy bottled water and not using city's water for a fee. Of course the government's own operations aren't the problem -- I'm sure they run a tight ship. Perhaps most frustrating is that Mayor Daley has been an avid supporter of privatization -- leasing the Chicago Skyway, some parking lots and pursuing a lease of Midway airport -- all of which have brought billions into city coffers. Unfortunately he's been fast and loose with the proceeds which have largely been diverted into new programs rather than shoring up infrastructure and shoring up city finances. Its inexcusable to have a "deficit" after raising more than $2 billion in privatization/leases in recent years. Cardenas is also pushing the tax to help the environment by dissuading people from buying the plastic bottles that end up in landfills. Check the links - enough said. If you're a frequent reader of Out of Control you know this is a pet issue of mine -- some of my colleagues and myself have written about this before -- check the links out if you want some more of the back story.

If Novak Djokovic wants to win a second Wimbledon title, he'll have to perform better in the final against Roger Federer than in his semifinal Friday.
He admitted as much.
While seven-time champion Federer eased past big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic 6-4 6-4 6-4, top-seed Djokovic struggled to overcome much-hyped Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov 6-4 3-6 7-6 7-6 in a nonetheless highly memorable encounter.
Not for the quality of tennis, mind you, but for the momentum shifts, some of the unforced errors and the number of slips.
On one occasion, Dimitrov and Djokovic took a tumble at almost the same time and faced each other close to the net, much to the crowd's delight.
For the combatants, the court must have felt like a skating rink.
Maybe playing in front of Maria Sharapova -- Dimitrov's girlfriend -- was just too much for the duo. Sharapova is also friends with Djokovic, though her loyalties weren't divided on Center Court.
"At a certain stage of the match I was frustrated because I again allowed my opponent to come back to the match," Djokovic, referring to his quarterfinal against Marin Cilic, told reporters. "That's something that I definitely cannot allow myself in the finals against Roger."
The conditions weren't easy. It was windy and hot.
But Djokovic was in control, leading by a set and break, and he led by a break in the fourth set before needing to rally from 6-3 down in the tiebreak.
Indeed, when it looked like Dimitrov would force a fifth set, the match resembled last year's Wimbledon semifinal between Djokovic and Juan Martin del Potro.
Djokovic also held the advantage in the fourth set then but lost it and was forced into a fifth, which no doubt affected his display in the finale against Andy Murray.
The silky smooth Federer had no such problems with his footing, his court positioning further up than Djokovic and Dimitrov. Raonic and Dimitrov, part of the younger guard, played in their first grand slam semifinals.
Djokovic hired Boris Becker in the off-season -- the German was one of the best volleyers of his generation -- but the Serb only won 57% of net points Friday. On a first match point in the fourth-set tiebreak, he failed to put away two volleys, temporarily keeping Dimitrov in the affair.
Becker declined an interview request from CNN after the match.
Djokovic put in a worrying display (for his fans at least) Wednesday too, taken to five sets by Cilic. He won the first set against Cilic and had a 9-0 record against the Croatian prior to Wimbledon.
If this was 2011, when Djokovic won three majors, he'd have coasted.
"When Novak is at his best, you think, 'How can anyone beat him?" asked Wally Masur, an Australian tennis analyst who won three titles during his playing days. "But hanging on to his best for long periods of time is something that has really kind of eluded him since he had that brilliant year.
"I don't know why that is. He smoked Cilic in the first set and the next thing you know they're in a dogfight."
And had it not been for a lucky Djokovic shot in the third set, Dimitrov might have advanced to a maiden grand slam final.
Staring at a break point at 3-3, Djokovic didn't hit his backhand down the line cleanly, but it went over the net and gave the speedy Dimitrov no chance.
Dimitrov then imploded in the third-set tiebreak.
What significantly helped Djokovic was hitting 17 aces. Dimitrov's serve, meanwhile, let him down.
At 6-6 in the fourth-set tiebreak, he gifted Djokovic a double fault for a second match point.
Federer, who improved to 9-0 in Wimbledon semifinals, handled Raonic in as routine a fashion as the score suggested.

The race for Schenevus-Maryland Highway Superintendent affords the voters this year with choices, but beware of those who promise what they can not give.
How about a candidate who is a lifelong local person, growing up on a dairy farm? Who has a reverence and love for the land, as a result of the role of the farmer as caretaker? How about a community activist; an uncompromising, fervent advocate for children? With a background in construction, including the Alaskan pipeline? Experience in business, working within a budget, controlling costs, exercising payroll? How about a candidate with experience in machinery operation and repair? A family man, a loyal friend, a man willing to help his neighbor in need? A free thinker, a problem solver, and last, a patriot believing in a Constitutional republic, one nation under God.
Is it also not notable that this man in collaboration with the publisher of The Daily Star, Mitchell Lynch, is providing our children with a printing of our Constitution?
Consider Ken Williams for highway superintendent: a man of vision, fiscal responsibility and the skills needed to do the job.

Molly's Sketchbook: Felt Baby Shoes
I think it's lovely to welcome a little one into the world surrounded by thoughtful handmade gifts, and these itty-bitty boots are just the ticket for such a reception. Brimming over with the "awww" factor, everyone who sees these Felt Baby Shoes wants to pick them up and coo, almost as if they contained a chubby little baby foot already!
Sometimes when I get on a roll with a fun and easy project like this, it's hard to stop. In this case, I ended up with a pile of eight pairs of shoes, all from one Purl Soho Wool Felt Bundle! Our gorgeous Autumn Bundle covers a beautiful spectrum of warm earth tones, just right for boys or girls. And a bright red, hand-embroidered edge finishes the color story with a zing, while adding a sweet handmade, rustic charm.
I love the idea of sewing up a big bunch of booties to have on hand for baby showers and welcome-to-the-world gifts. A pair would also look so cute peeking out of a baby's Christmas stocking!

As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously. —Benjamin Franklin
Patents are mines. They lay buried in the marketplace, doing nothing until their owners blow them up under an enemy. That's what Amazon.com founder and CEO Jeff Bezos did last fall, when Barnesandnoble.com stepped too close to Amazon's "1-click" patent (No. 5,960,411). Amazon pressed a charge, and a court injunction followed.
The bomb worked. It stopped Barnesandnoble.com from copying Amazon's work on the 1-click feature. It also blew Jeff's clothes off. Time magazine's Man of the Year—the leading entrepreneur of the New Economy—was exposed as an old-fashioned emperor of industry: a hard-ball player, a pointy-haired litigator.
At least, that's the way it appeared to the Open Source world, where captains of industry get the benefit of little doubt in any case. Calling almost immediately for a boycott, the conscience of free software, Richard Stallman, said:
This is an attack against the World Wide Web and against e-commerce in general. The idea in question is that a company can give you something which you can subsequently show them to identify yourself for credit. This is nothing new: a physical credit card does the same job, after all. But the U.S. Patent Office issues patents on obvious and well-known ideas every day. Sometimes the result is a disaster.
Not much happened after that, at least on the surface. Behind the scenes, however, Tim O'Reilly of O'Reilly & Associates began a correspondence with Jeff Bezos.
Then, on February 23, all hell broke loose. The United States Patent & Trademark Office assigned Amazon patent No. 6,029,141 for an "Internet-based customer referral system". This covered Amazon's popular associates program, by which thousands of sites mount "bookstores" with sales fulfilled by Amazon.com. (To witness the program's popularity, search for the phrase "in association with amazon.com".) There are many such programs operating on the Web, but Amazon's was the first and easily the most successful.
Amazon had applied for the patent back in 1997, but that didn't cut much ice with the open-source folks. A roar went up, and this time the press joined in. "Loss-making Amazon turns to bullying", wrote the Irish Times. For the first time in its short life, Amazon.com was getting bad PR. If they hadn't sued Barnesandnoble.com over a different patent, it is unlikely anyone would have cared. In total, Amazon holds only seven patents. By contrast, IBM obtained 2,697 patents in 1998 alone.
Amazon's patents were all applied for prior to the land rush on "business process" and software patents after the floodgates were opened by State Street Bank & Trust Co. vs. Signature Financial Group Inc. On July 23, 1998, the Federal Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling that threw out what little discretion remained on the patenting of, well, nearly every marginally original way of doing business, including "processes" conducted by software. The Supreme Court later declined to review the case.
So Amazon stood alone in the spotlight. Yes, other Internet companies had sued to protect patents, but Amazon was the leading e-commerce innovator. Their patent policy mattered.
Enter Tim O'Reilly. In a series of "Ask Tim" columns and open letters, O'Reilly both challenged Bezos and invited him into the growing patent reform movement. A series of private conversations followed, culminating on March 10 with "An open letter from Jeff Bezos on the subject of patents" (http://www.amazon.com/patents/).
Crediting influence by O'Reilly, Bezos declared both his intent not to harm software development and a newfound commitment to patent reform. He did not hedge on his own patent policies, but neither did he appear to push them off the negotiating table. He also included a number of concrete proposals for reforming patent law.
Suddenly, the PR turned around. Columnist Dan Gillmor of the San Jose Mercury News, who had labeled Bezos one of technology's "villains" after the lawsuit against Barnesandnoble.com, wrote, "Bezos has a point on patents..." and "...it's a heartening sign of the Internet's power, and Bezos' management style, that this conversation is taking place at all."
Will Bezos continue to straddle the fence? He faces a clear choice between his lawyers and his market. As both he and O'Reilly point out (crediting The Cluetrain Manifesto), markets are conversations. If he stops talking, we'll know his choice.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Overall Motorcyclist Safety Has Not Improved in 15 Years
WASHINGTON, May 6, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- For only the second year since 1997, U.S. motorcyclist fatalities are projected to decrease in 2013, according to a new analysis of preliminary state data released today by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA). The latest Spotlight on Highway Safety report also notes that despite the probable 7 percent decrease in rider deaths, motorcyclist safety has not improved in fifteen years.
All 50 states and the District of Columbia provided preliminary motorcyclist fatality counts for the first nine months of 2013 and insights into why their numbers increased or decreased. Compared with the first nine months of 2012, motorcyclist fatalities decreased in 35 states and the District of Columbia, increased in 13 states, and remained the same in two. The report was authored by Dr. James Hedlund of Highway Safety North, a former senior official with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Dr. Hedlund has done similar analyses for GHSA every year since 2009, with remarkable accuracy. Based on this experience, he projects the final motorcyclist fatality total for 2013 will be 4,610 – approximately 7 percent less than the 4,957 recorded in 2012 and nearly identical to the 4,612 motorcyclist deaths in 2011. This means motorcyclist deaths would have declined more than the total traffic fatality decrease of 3.7 percent for the first nine months of 2013 estimated by NHTSA.
While this is good news, the report points out that in 2011 motorcycles produced six times more occupant fatalities per registered vehicles than passenger vehicles. Using this same measure, passenger vehicle occupants were twice as safe in 2011 as compared to 1997, but motorcyclist safety has not improved in that period.
Weather, according to the report, was the predominate factor to explain the drop in motorcyclist fatalities from 2012 to 2013. The first six months of 2012 were unusually warm and dry across the nation, prompting an uptick in ridership. The weather in the first nine months of 2013, however, was cooler and wetter, similar to 2011, when fatalities dropped in many states. GHSA Members nationwide echoed this finding.
"It's heartening that motorcyclist fatalities didn't increase over the past couple of years, but they're not decreasing either," said Kendell Poole, GHSA Chairman and Director of the Tennessee Office of Highway Safety. "Long-term gains in motorcyclist safety won't occur because riders are deterred by bad weather, but from consistent use of proven countermeasures."
Poole pointed to the importance of all states adopting universal helmet laws. "By far, helmets are the single most effective way to prevent serious injury and death in the event of a motorcycle crash. But states are going backward when it comes to enacting this proven, lifesaving countermeasure."
Currently, only 19 states and DC have universal helmet laws. Another 28 require helmet use by riders younger than age 18 or 21, and three have no requirement. According to NHTSA, in 2012, there were 10 times as many unhelmeted motorcyclist fatalities in states without universal helmet laws, compared to states with universal helmet laws. Nationwide, helmet use dropped to 60 percent in 2012, down from 66 percent in 2011.
In addition to increasing helmet use, the report also recommends that states:
States partially fund their motorcycle safety efforts with federal money from NHTSA. Currently, Congress restricts state programs by permitting them to only address motorcyclist training and programs that encourage drivers to share the rode with motorcyclists. With work underway on the next transportation reauthorization bill, GHSA is calling on Congress to permit states to fund effective approaches to addressing motorcyclist safety, such as programs that increase helmet use and reduce drunk driving.
All data in the report are preliminary. The report presents data through September 2013. State-by-state data and image files are available from GHSA.
The Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) is a nonprofit association representing the highway safety offices of states, territories, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. GHSA provides leadership and representation for the states and territories to improve traffic safety, influence national policy, enhance program management and promote best practices. Its members are appointed by their Governors to administer federal and state highway safety funds and implement state highway safety plans. Contact GHSA at 202-789-0942 or visit www.ghsa.org.

But nevertheless, I am making one now because these sardines are just the best I have ever eaten in all my years. I love them. This time I am ordering 12 cans. Yum.

Kerry Ellis and Brian May perform in London in 2013 (Photo by Ian Gavan/Getty Images)
Since the late '60s and early '70s when rock was morphing out of pop and into a genre unto itself, it has became commonplace for rock artists to team up with artists from other genres to record and/or perform live. It was still a new concept in 1977 when Bing Crosby performed with David Bowie on Crosby's annual Christmas show, but what was then considered a novelty has become almost an expectation.
Until you actually experience this particular pairing, you might think the combination of a classic rock guitarist and a theatrical diva is just a bit off. But Brian May and Kerry Ellis will disabuse you of that misconception very quickly when you watch/listen to their new CD/DVD set, The Candlelight Concerts Live at Montreux 2013. Believe when I tell you that they will rock you.
