ABC all upset at poll showing huge drop in global warming believers
By Bill Dupray
Not to be the master of the obvious here, but it is going to be hard to convince people that the earth is warming . . . when it is not.
The earth's temperature peaked in 1998. It's been falling ever since; it dropped dramatically in 2007 and got worse in 2008, when temperatures touched 1980 levels.
But we'll give ABC credit for reporting the poll numbers. Then they get downright hilarious trying to discredit it eight ways to Sunday. The advocacy is top-notch, it is just too bad that they don't see it as such.
Just 57 percent think there is solid evidence the world is getting warmer, down 20 points in just three years, a new poll says. And the share of people who believe pollution caused by humans is causing temperatures to rise has also taken a dip, even as the U.S. and world forums gear up for possible action against climate change. . . .
Only about a third, or 36 percent of the respondents, feel that human activities — such as pollution from power plants, factories and automobiles — are behind a temperature increase. That's down from 47 percent from 2006 through last year's poll.
So only a small (and drastically shrinking) minority thinks that we are causing any global warming. The rest of the normal people presumably think one of two things, either (1) the planet is not warming (so the whole issue is moot), or (2) that bright yellow ball in the sky seems to have something to do with the earth's temperature. Either way, this hardly seems the time to go taking over all of American industry with a Cap and Trade scheme and taxing the bejesus out of the American people. Let's just say it ain't exactly a stimulus package.
But ABC dives right in with the standard attacks. First we have the "settled science" of global warming with which we are not allowed to argue.
At the same time, there has been mounting scientific evidence of climate change — from melting ice caps to the world's oceans hitting the highest monthly recorded temperatures this summer.
Hmmm. I heard a little something different in a couple of places about those 'melting' ice caps.
First, the 2009 summer minimum Arctic Sea Ice Extent [Area of ocean with at least 15 percent sea ice] that was predicted by alarmists to decline, instead, grew dramatically. According to International Arctic Research Center AMSR-E satellite data, it grew by about 1 million square kilometers of ice (1.4 times the size of Texas), which is a 23 percent growth above 2007 and 11.5 percent growth above 2008 sea-ice levels, respectively.
More bad news for alarmists came when results of the Arctic Sea Ice Expedition were released. NASA characterized this expedition as a six-nation, 20-scientist Arctic expedition, equipped with an aircraft that had precision measurement instruments. Alarmists had argued that new Arctic sea-ice growth was thinner and less robust than older ice. The expedition instead found new sea ice was much thicker, up to four meters in places, which was more than twice what was expected.
I guess ABC didn't find any of that in the "settled" science. But they nevertheless proceed undaunted.
The poll was released a day after 18 scientific organizations wrote Congress to reaffirm the consensus behind global warming. A federal government report Thursday found that global warming is upsetting the Arctic's thermostat.
Funny, they must have forgotten to mention that 650 of the world's leading climatologists met in Poland in December and declared that man-made global warming is a media-generated myth, without scientific basis. Then there was the 2009 International Conference on Climate Change in New York earlier this year, in which at least 70 scientists seem to have missed the memo about the "settled science." Oh yeah, and the They kept talking saying crazy stuff like "we don't agree" and "the science shows something else." Surely these people must be silenced.
Then ABC goes with the perennial favorite of lefties who are losing an argument: The people are confused by crazy things like weather and, lobbyists, or something.
Andrew Weaver, a professor of climate analysis at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, said politics could be drowning out scientific awareness. [me - now there is some professor-speak for you]
"It's a combination of poor communication by scientists, a lousy summer in the Eastern United States, people mixing up weather and climate and a full-court press by public relations firms and lobby groups trying to instill a sense of uncertainty and confusion in the public," he said.
Translation: Dammit! If people weren't so stupid, we'd have this thing in the bag already.
So, to help turn the tide, ABC decides to haul out a little more of that "settled science."
Though there are exceptions, the vast majority of scientists agree that global warming is occurring and that the primary cause is a buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal.
Jane Lubchenco, head the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told a business group meeting at the White House Thursday: "The science is pretty clear that the climate challenge before us is very real. We're already seeing impacts of climate change in our own backyards."
In whose backyard? Have you noticed any global warming in your backyard? If not, you must be confused. You'd better read up a little more on the "settled science."
Surprisingly, it seems that the more liberal you are, the more the science is settled.
People living in the Midwest and mountainous areas of the West are far less likely to view global warming as a serious problem and to support limits on greenhouse gases than those in the Northeast and on the West Coast. Both the House and Senate bills have been drafted by Democratic lawmakers from Massachusetts and California.
Oh yeah, and even if you are a Warmer, turns out that China and India aren't with you and aren't coming to Copenhagen. So keep in mind that whatever the Democrats do with Cap and Trade or the "world community" does at Copenhagen, we are unilaterally killing our own economy while two of the world's biggest "polluters" charge onward. They must marvel that we are hell-bent on chasing a hoax while they continue to go about the business of living in the real world.
Though ABC gratuitously includes the liberal talking points and mounts an impressive defense on behalf of the Warmers, they grudgingly concede that the American people are figuring out the truth.

Lawrence Graham actively targets smaller-cap firms. This policy is borne out of the belief that an equivalent size lends weight to client relationships.
Hugh Maule, Nicholas Heather, Jeffrey Elway and Charles Wilkinson all advise on AIM initial public offerings (IPOs). For Maule, the real advantage to AIM work is the opportunity to develop ongoing relationships through the board. Coffee Republic is an example of one such client. But Maule concedes that it is inevitable that any dynamic can be jeopardised once the company starts to grow and larger investment houses are brought on board, although this has not been the case with Coffee Republic.
Lawrence Graham's key investment bank relationships are with English Trust, Teather & Greenwood and Henderson Crosthwaite. Fees start at around £30,000 for a simple introduction, rising to three-figure sums as the complexity increases.

This blog started in 2015 when I, lover of the written word, thought I had something of value to add to a community I was falling in love with. Like many before me, I was 100% certain that my voice was unique and I was going to settle down in an uncovered corner of the market. And, maybe I did have something to say, and maybe there were people out there that it would resonate with.

99 years ago today
The city block located where the Harris County Administration Building sits today was the scene of a large fire Dec. 1, 1907.
Fortunately, no one was killed in the blaze, but three people were injured by falling debris.
What caused the fire was a matter of speculation the following day, the Chronicle reported. Most witnesses at the time heard an explosion just before the fire started.
One such witnesses was H.J. Larson, deputy county clerk. He told the Chronicle in its Dec. 2 edition that while standing at Main and Congress, an explosion appeared to lift the roof of the Dunn Building "several feet and then settle back in place again." By the time firefighters arrived, the blaze spread to other buildings on the same block.
Among the items lost in the fire were federal court papers. The court was located on the top floor of the Houston Theatre Building which was destroyed.
"There was not a vault or safe provided for all of the valuable papers and decrees of the court and except for reports sent to Washington, the court will be without a paper or record to show the disposition of a single case which ever came before the court in this city," the Chronicle reported.
Other buildings destroyed and/or damaged were:
- The Houston Theatre on Main Street
- The Julia Sellers Building, Congress at Fannin
- The Miller Building, Preston at Fannin
- The Pillot Building, Main Street
- Three saloons, including the Texas Bar
- The Levy Brothers Building
- The J.J. Sweeney Jewelry Company Building, Congress at Main
The Sweeney Company Building, aka the Sweeney, Coombs & Fredericks Building still exists.
In the end, damage was estimated at $477,500 ($9,800,005 in today's dollars).

It always happens this way with really good things, doesn't it?
There's that little nugget of amazing. And it's out there, quietly being awesome. And there are a few folks in the know who appreciate it and love it. But then one day something happens and it somehow gets even better. And then other people start to notice it—because again, it is amazing, but it is also quiet. And then before you know it, it gains some small success. And then eventually it becomes something that's actually successful and well known by lots of people. And then it isn't really little anymore. It's just really good.
That's the beauty with really good things: people find out about them and then people want to support them. That's particularly the case when that good thing is great butter.
Husband and wife Elizabeth and Andrew McBath discovered their love for creating compound butters (if you don't know, compound butters contain other ingredients mixed in to make them a little jazzy and a lot delicious) in their kitchen at home, and eventually made the move to monetize their hobby in 2014, creating Banner Butter.
The McBaths had begun their "little side project" (they both still have full-time jobs) a year earlier as a way to enhance butter with spices, herbs, and seasoning, thus making cooking a little bit easier and making simple foods more delicious. Eventually however, they noticed a trend among their customers who desired good, locally churned butter. And that's when an idea struck: they decided to take their little nugget and turn up the volume on the goodness.
Andrew and Elizabeth took a trip to France to study the art of butter making (and let's be real, they probably studied the arts of wine-drinking and cheese-eating as well, because why not?) in the South region of the country, where cultured butter is king. They returned home with their newfound knowledge of and appreciation for cultured butter and that's where the nugget of goodness gained speed.
Instead of buying already-made butter from the store and then adding ingredients to make it compound like they'd been doing previously, the McBaths sought out responsible, humane, and local dairy farms from which they could source pasteurized cream and churn the butter themselves. Just like us at PRB, they're passionate about the foundational aspects of their product, which means knowing that their animals live good, happy, healthy lives. Their website states:
"Banner Butter strives to create butters that taste great by doing it the right way. Doing it right means starting with cream from humanely treated, hormone-free cows that graze in green pastures. It also means patiently culturing and churning cream into butter without adding flavoring or speeding the process at the expense of taste."
See, here's the thing: most butter that is sold in our grocery stores and supermarkets is "sweet cream butter," which means that once pasteurized, the cream is almost immediately churned into butter—it's churned when the cream is still sweet. Sadly, this also means that the butter has very little flavor in this infant stage. Even sadder, this often leads Big Man Butter to add "natural flavoring" to make it taste more like…well, butter. Gross.
The cultured or European method on the other hand, is one in which the pasteurized cream has time to ripen for many hours before it is churned. This ripening process brings boatloads of that delicious, nutty and buttery flavor that we so love…without any additives or flavorings.
And that is how Banner Butter does butter.
So between their happy dairy cows, the super-fresh cream they provide, the short distance that said cream travels, the small batches in which the butter is churned, and the care and attention that are put into each and every package, Banner Butter's product second to none.
Banner Butter has gained success in the greater Atlanta area, where they've found their way onto the shelves of a variety of small local groceries as well as seven Whole Foods Markets, and now we are proud to announce that Porter Road Butcher is their very second out-of-state outpost for resale—South Carolina got the jump on us. Groan.
In addition to traditional varieties like unsalted and lightly salted butters, the McBaths have continued to play with flavors and offer compound butters as well.
They offer a Roasted Garlic, Parsley and Basil, which sold out of our West Nashville store within the first day it was available; they have a Cardamom, Cinnamon and Ginger, which we can't wait to employ this weekend on French toast or waffles; the Balsamic, Caramelized Onion, and Fig would be a great way to finish a nicely grilled steak; and their Sea Salt seems like a no-brainer for melting on corn on the cob or tossing with steamed or grilled veggies.
Banner Butter also makes a rotating seasonal compound, sourcing locally grown seasonal produce, creating a butter that celebrates the season.
Check out their website for more information and check out the freezer sections at both Porter Road Butcher stores to get your hands on butter that just tastes better: Banner Butter.

Slot machine addict, 78, stole £122k to feed habit: Now grandmother is jailed
A GRANDMOTHER addicted to playing slot machines has been jailed after stealing £122,000 from the holiday park where she worked to pay for daily trips to an amusement arcade.
The slot machine addict stole £122,000 to feed her addiction
Yvonne Herring, 78, took bags of £1 coins from the seaside caravan park where she was office manager for 20 years and fiddled rent accounts for three years to cover her tracks.
She has been jailed for nine months and even faces losing her home in Skegness, Lincs, to repay the debt.
Despite the theft, her former employer had asked the court not to jail her, but the judge said he had no option but to impose a custodial sentence.
Lincoln Crown Court heard Herring, who admitted theft, collected rent from tenants at the family-run site in Ingoldmells, near Skegness. But she issued false receipts and destroyed company papers to disguise the theft.
Terry Boston, mitigating, said: "It was the old-fashioned penny arcades. She would only use £1 coins.
"Because of her role she collected so many. She is extremely ashamed of what she has done. She is so ashamed, she has been in denial and is worried for her family. She is grandmother and a mother."
The court heard Herring was of "unblemished character" and was described by a work colleague as a person "as sharp and switched on as anyone I've ever met".
Passing sentence Judge John Pini QC told Herring that she could not avoid prison despite the plea from her former employers.
"The amount taken was some £122,000 all gambled away in penny arcades," Judge Pini said.
"I am afraid to say even for somebody of your advanced years I cannot avoid an immediate custodial sentence.
"It is a very rare event when we get a defendant of your age sitting where you are and of hitherto good character."
But the judge added: "This was a serious abuse of trust and cost the company dearly."
A proceeds of crime hearing at which Herring's assets, including her seaside flat, can be seized to pay back the debt will take place later in the year.

If you have been going steady with your lady for the last few months, she could already be bugging you to meet her parents and since it is the holidays, you have no excuse. This can be a stressful event and you're justified to be nervous about making a stellar first impression. You don't want to be branded "the dumbass our daughter used to go out with". You want to earn their approval.
Unfortunately for you, their protective instincts are kicked into high gear. They want to make sure their precious little girl bags herself the best guy available. No matter how delightful and charming you are, they will have their BS detector cranked up high. You'll need to bring your A game if you want to hit it off with them and have them singing your praises after you've left. Here are a few tips to help you win over her folks:
Dress like a man: The fastest way to lose her parents' respect is to show up looking like a slob or an overgrown teenager. First impressions are everything. Lose the graphic tees, ripped baggy jeans and dirty beat-up sneakers. Opt instead for a simple, sharp and masculine look. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to wear a suit. You can look well-dressed in casual wear.
Just keep it sharp and polished. This means fitting attire with no embellishments and no big logos. Pay attention to your footwear too. People notice such stuff. Instead of your everyday sneakers, try classy loafers for that sophisticated look. Also, lose that ridiculous 'no-shave-November' beard you're still holding on too.
Play to your strengths: You don't want to sound like a loser to her parents. Even if you're not doing as well as you may like in life, aim to show them the best version of yourself. Instead of focusing on your dead-end job or your boring life, give it a positive spin. When talking about your work, rather than talking about the boring tasks you're assigned, talk about how you're working to move up that corporate ladder. Don't make yourself sound like a slacker. You want to make them see you as responsible, hard-working gentleman worthy of their daughter. It is just like a job interview. Play to your strengths!
Be gracious: As they say, manners maketh a man. Grace is a sense of fitness and propriety. It is also a disposition to be generous and helpful. Make a conscious effort to be pleasant, benevolent and courteous. Speak to her parents respectfully. Think before you speak. Learn to say, "Please," "Thank you," "No, thank you," "Mr ____," and "Mrs_____." Show appreciation for the ways in which her parents will try to make you comfortable or accommodate your preferences. Be gracious to everyone, not just her parents, otherwise you will be perceived as a pretentious phony.
Keep pda to a minimum: Needless to say, no matter how handsy you and your partner are, her parents don't want to witness you groping her. Keep your hands to yourself during your meeting with them. Do not attempt to initiate any kind of romantic touching at this time. It is okay to put your arm around her or hold her hand, but anything beyond that is not recommended. The last thing you want to do is make her folks feel awkward because you couldn't keep your hands to yourself. Remember that they still think of her as their innocent little girl. Do not make it too obvious that you have taken away that innocence.

Up In The Air (Alpha)
Two amateur "criminologists" become embroiled in a perplexing mystery when radio singer Rita Wilson (Lorna Gray) is murdered.
In one of seven film appearances together, Frankie Darrow and Mantan Moreland find plenty of laughs and adventure in their pursuit of the killer.
Mantan Moreland, a veteran actor who delighted audiences as "Birmingham Brown" in the Charlie Chan series, provides many comedic moments including a soft show dance and black face routine with Frankie, reminiscent of the radio show Amos'n'Andy. Also appearing is Marjorie Reynolds as Anne Mason, the receptionist at the broadcasting station and would-be singer who helps with the investigation. Reynolds later showed her singing talent as Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire's love interest in Holiday Inn.
Please be advised that while a great effort is made in restoring these films in their entirety, portions which have been destroyed beyond repair may have been edited out.

Discussion in 'OT Technology' started by Doc Brown, Feb 24, 2008.
At the top of the main page:
good price.
too bad they actually want $275.99... not so good price.
$199.99 In-Store only
I have edited out your FAILURE at mspaint. Resize next time, bitch.
Because it's in-store only.
Excuuuuuuuse me if I happen to have one near me.
this is teh intraweb, dude.... don't post in-store crap on teh intrawebs.
Bitch, you west coasters have everything right in your lap.
Don't expect me to play fair the one time something works right, in my neighborhood.
you live in ohio. massive fail and aids.
now fix your damn mspaint.
I did fix it. Wtf are you running, a 15" monitor?
And there's not nearly as much aids on the east coast as the west coast.
Just sayin.
42" LCD. I made a thread about it, remember?
I'll have to take your word for it... I don't frequent the Blue Oyster as much as you do.
Now see? I wouldn't even know that Blue Oyster was some sort of catch phrase.
And if you're running a 42" monitor, then what the fuck did I interupt a corner of some pron you had playing?
You haven't seen "Police Academy"? If not, run like a little school girl to Blockbuster and rent it, stat.
I do have a DVD going... but most of my screen is being used up by the .Net IDE.
You're doing freaking software development at midnight?
Oh, and I've seen Police Academy.
I just fast forwarded through the gay shit, bro.
On a Saturday... Yes. I work whenever I can. I imagine I'll be up a few hours on this ish.
you missed out.... it's hilarious.
Just picked one up today. thank god I live 3 minutes from a microcenter. G0.
I'm 20 minutes from one.
It looks like they're starting to get some fairly aggressive pricing recently, too.
They had an 8800GT for $220 w/no rebate required recently.
really i need to keep an eye out. the Q6600 today is the 1st thing I have bought for my new build. I only got it cause of the deal. I have to now build a computer around it.
srsly, if deals like this keep coming for Intel chips,... who the hell will buy the AMD tri-cores that are coming out next month?
Heheheh, I've started so many builds because of that.
any quick recommendations on mobo to get there are so many to chose from. I am planning on overclocking.
I think mabye the Abit P35 tweaks better than most. If I remember right, Doom has one running at 3.4ghz on an Abit P35.
if you want a mild overclock and rock-solid reliability, stability, and performance then get Intel.
If you don't give a shit about the computer actually working properly or lasting any amount of time, you just want to impress a forum with your OC #'s, then get an Abit.

New York: HarperTrophy of Harper Imprint of Harper Collins, 1988. Book. As New. Mass Market Paperback. First Harper Keypoint Edition (1954). 285, [i] pp. 12mo/18cm. As New. Another good read from the pen of probably our most famous and prolific mountaineering author. Most became motion pictures and this one was a Newberry Honor Book in 1955. James Ramsey Ullman (1907-1971) not only wrote books about mountains and the men who climb then but was one himself the summit of his experience being participation in the first American expedition to Everest in 1971..
New York: William Sloane Associates, Inc, 1947. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. [xxii], 411ppp, 3 maps, 30 b/w illustrations (mainly from photographs), 4 appendices, index. 8vo/23cm. Blue cloth gilt, titling slightly rubbed, light edgewear, otherwise internally clean, tight and very good. A well written account of the attempts on Everest up to that time. James Ramsy Ullman (1907-1971) was an American writer and mountaineer.

I am a recent grad and in my final class I had a teacher who I and many of the students butted heads. I don't believe her to be a great designer and she consistently tried to force the students to produce work to her own taste as oppose to developing their own voice.

Pro-piracy attitudes from design teachers are pretty common in my experience, albeit not this blatantly.
As for the penalties, well, a good IP litigator will run you at least $300 an hour, if he likes you. One who can deal with the law surrounding fonts is probably even more. And the bad press that comes from suing (perceived) customers can be really nasty, so going after individual fonts pirates is sort of a lost cause.
Font piracy aside, I question the ethics of a person who pursues a personal vendetta in a public forum. Posting her site was in very poor taste in my opinion.
I'm with Russ on this. Your embittered gripe and allegations should be addressed to your tutor and the educational establishment concerned first, not publicly vilify her on an web forum. You gave us her website and have in that way named her (which I think is really spiteful). At least let her know what you've done, so that she might have the opportunity to respond to your claims.
Type design wouldn't be a good career move even if the piracy situation weren't as bad as it is. I can deal with designers who pirate for pre-publication use but who license the font for publication. I know pirates who make their clients buy a font each time they use it, which is good for the designers, since they are actually overpaying. People like [Edited by moderator] who allegedly steal as a way of life and encourage others to do so annoy me. But how annoyed can you get at someone who is such a bad artist? It's painful to have to consider persons so poorly favoured. Leave the poor creature alone!
If push comes to shove, just report her to your school's technology services. Those guys, in my experience, are just itching to bust people for piracy in any form on any school owned computers.
In fact, they tend to go way overboard, and force people to use only the fonts originally supplied by the system admin, which in a way could be a good thing.
Having a teacher emphasize the use of many typefaces indicates to me that she is covering up a general typographic weakness. A good designer/typographer should be able to "make do" with only a handful of fonts.
Dan Gayle has an excellent suggestion for you and I would like to add one more thing. I neither know the people involved nor the school attended. My suggestion therefore is for you to write to the administration and let them know the information you've been taught, and what you should have been taught when it comes to legal matters. That way, they have the opportunity to address this situation with their entire faculty, and not misguide the students there.
BTW - if you do, keep it upbeat. Thank them for the wonderful education, the fine teachers, etc. but let them know that the teachers are given poor advice to students and you would like them to address the matter. You are not asking for them to fire anyone, just educate them so they can educate the next generation of designers.
Good luck out in the real world...
>A good designer/typographer should be able to "make do" with only a handful of fonts.
Truer words were never spoken -- though why place make do in scare quotes?
I think Mark's original impulse was good. If you want to steal/not steal/delude yourself into thinking you're the reincarnation of Robin Hood, that's a personal decision, a very personal decision. When it becomes institutionalized, taught, it's in a different category and I see no reason why this person shouldn't be named and shamed by everyone who henceforth ever googles her. She, and nobody else, has chosen to make her behaviour public by teaching it. You don't get more public than that. I don't think she has any presumption of privacy on this issue. How sleazy it all is!
As an educator, this just ticks me off (the teacher, not the student). My suggestion would be for Mark to publish online all the course outlines, lecture notes, tutorials, and any other work that the teacher had put together over the course, and then tell her that since she is in favor of sharing other peoples work without compensation, you felt it was fair to share her work.
Many teachers I know feel no pang of guilt at using the work of others, but are adament that they will not share their work without compensation. I am constantly trying to convince teachers that the Internet is not a buffet placed for them to pick and choose illustrations for their lectures without asking permission.
(And of course, after the point has been made to the teacher, Mark should then remove the materials, since two wrongs have never equalled a right ... although three lefts do.)
Come on Bill, don't turn typophile into a pillory. As far as I can tell, all we got is an unconfirmed accusal by an anonymous who just created an account to tell us this story.
(That doesn't mean it has to be wrong, but, well you know … witch-hunt, anyone?)
I think this issue can be debated without the name.

Yes, you can always cook with the ingredients at hand if needs be, but shopping around makes the meal more interesting.
These days, copyright infringement is punishable by firing squad, I believe.
>>I think this issue can be debated without the name.
It's an issue I've always had with ratemyprofessors.com. Oftentimes people use the anonymity as a license to attack a professor's reputation, and none of is necessarily qualified. It's interesting that what gets shot down on Typophile, even in the context of what is perhaps Unforgivable Type Crime #1, flies like crazy elsewhere on the internet.
These days, copyright infringement is punishable by firing squad, I believe.
I heard a rumor about this - but I just thought it was 'cause I'm now in the South...
So "it's true... it's true!" (—Madeleine Kahn)
Mark Typo,
All of the name her/don't name her stuff aside, the fact that her students marked her as a hack and a thief is a good indication that she's reaping the rewards of her attitude already. There is very little penalty enacted for this behavior. Penalties do exist, but I have never been ticketed for jaywalking, in spite of the penalties for that, and it's much the same with typeface piracy. It's too hard for the people who have a stake in type to go hunting down the 'pedigree' of every design piece out there, if not impossible. I've only ever heard of large companies being taken to task for being stupid (UPS with the Dax rip-off).
I'm sure that Linotype or whoever could start auditing people, but that's also a bit of PR nightmare, because there are few designers/firms without a few licensing skeletons in their closets, either by mistake or by design. Additionally, it can be due to the attitudes of higher-ups that lead to this sort of behavior: who's going to risk their neck at work by threatening their boss with exposure to legal action? That would be suicide, frankly. And then there's the flip side: the designers bring in their fonts and slip them into projects without proper licensing. When it's 2 AM and the deadline's tomorrow, who will scrutinize that stuff?
That being said, it's not impossible. Sometimes simply taking responsibility for the often tiring and pedantic job of managing font licenses is enough to encourage compliance. I've seen instances where it is simply left undone becaues it can be a bit onerous. I've found success in taking this stance, as well as simply making it known that I don't tolerate it.
Just an FYI, here's Linotype's offical word on penalties from their License Agreement:
Article 4
Termination of License Agreement
4.1 The license and usage right guaranteed under subsection 1.2 shall become immediately null and void in the event of a breach of this contract.
4.2 If the licensee or one of the licensee's employees breaches the agreed-upon license and right of use and/or property rights of Linotype GmbH, Linotype GmbH has the right to terminate the license and right of use, with termination taking immediate effect. Linotype GmbH reserves the explicit right to assert any further claims (specifically information, compensation for damages, etc.).
4.3 In the event of termination, the licensee is obligated to delete and return to Linotype GmbH the original Font Software affected by and pertaining to the termination, including documentation and all copies.
At the request of Linotype GmbH, the licensee is obligated to provide written assurance that said deletion has occurred.
I'm not sure how standard this is, but I'd bet most EULAs specify the right to pursue damages in court.
I think you have a right to complain but outing her here isn't the proper way - I'd talk to her superior at the school. Before doing so you should know your school's policy on fonts for students - do they have group licenses, etc. or do you each buy your own?
You should notify both her academic superior AND the school's information technology department. Be clear that it's not only that she pirates the fonts herself, but she *also* encourages her students to do so.
> Penalties do exist, but I have never been ticketed for jaywalking, in spite of the penalties for that, and it's much the same with typeface piracy.
Except that for jaywalking, you are not depriving someone of their livelihood.

And though my mother has been dead for 25 years, I can still remember the day she came home with a ticket for jaywalking. To add insult to injury - she was only one foot away from the crosswalk.
People do get tickets - but a policeman has to be around to give it.
One problem manufacturers do have is the policing...it can get very expensive going after one person for one font - much better to go for a healthy company with lots of bucks...
"Except that for jaywalking, you are not depriving someone of their livelihood."
Of course, you're not usually depriving anyone of their livelihood when you infringe upon a copyright, either.
At worse, you're depriving someone of a 'potential and theoretical unit sale' but that's typically just a small fraction of the total amount of infringement instances.
I'm certainly not advocating copyright infringement...especially in the manner this professor is, but let's not go spreading FUD about it either.
It's the equivalent of your teacher walking into class and saying - hey, I shoplifted my entire outfit from Filene's Basement. You kids should know that their security isn't that good. Believe me if a prof was walking around saying that it would have made its way up the food chain by now. Part of a teacher's job is to set an example.

If you are interested in protecting and advancing your career, at the very very very least you don't make admissions against self-interest. Once you admit to knowingly breaking a rule or law, you are unprotected against the opportunists and enemies you may have in your classroom, workplace, family, etc. Maintaining the image of propriety is as basic as brushing your teeth.
Whatever other errors in judgment this teacher may make in her life, she is certain to one day be fully hoisted on her own petard if she still has no mastery over this most basic rule. This student, however, has demonstrated an impatient willingness to exploit her admission, a noble inclination to hold other people accountable to the law, an indignant and surprised righteousness, a false modesty, and a knowledge that social orders can be realigned. He is sure to enjoy a nice career irrespective of his merits or abilities. I give him an A+. In fact, when I read the original post again—the badmouthing her talents, the supposed solidarity of opinion among the students, the handwringing over how her advise is putting others in danger, the professions of purity (I would never do this!)—it makes me pretty nauseated. A++
"in all the years of her own career she has payed for only two or three fonts herself"
There is not enough information here to determine whether that is a good thing or a bad thing.
Beside that, "All the years of her own career..." could be four, and her clients could have paid for all but 3 or 4 fonts, leaving enough for her own corporate identity and personal use forever. So, I wouldn't call her boss.
She's a university professor, she has to have more experience than that.
Point is, she's making the students feel like only suckers pay for fonts and that's not cool. She can do whatever she wants and probably won't get caught but she ought to keep her mouth shut.
Except that for jaywalking, you are not depriving someone of their livelihood
Oh, absolutely. I was simply drawing an example based on what first came to mind. Of course, piracy is a crime that becomes truly problematic when its institutional or cultural, because it usually involves small bites by an individual (one album out of thousands sold, one font license out of hundreds) at which point combatting it becomes a nightmare. If I steal a font (I don't, by the way), it's dollars not making it to a designer and their distributor; if everyone in my office does, it's paychecks. Digital distribution is a double-edged sword.
And David makes a good point. The devil's in the details. (Not that I need to tell a bunch of typophiles that, I suppose.)
In this You Tube age, I think it is a bit disheartening that an individual can't make a verbal mistake without being assaulted. This doesn't mean that people don't make terrible mistakes, but it also doesn't mean that people should be ostracized for being human. We seem to expect people to be above human which is simply not fair.
This is not a put down of You Tube by the way. When issues like this come up I often think of Jeff Goldblum's line in Jurassic Park: "Just because you could, doesn't mean you should."
"Come on Bill, don't turn typophile into a pillory. As far as I can tell, all we got is an unconfirmed accusal by an anonymous who just created an account to tell us this story.

I agree with this. But I dislike the idea of editable posts; I dislike censorship in this kind of discussion, even self-censorship. Certainly what's her name should have a chance to respond to this thread ... has anyone told her what's going on?
I agree with Thomas that "Be clear that it's not only that she pirates the fonts herself, but she *also* encourages her students to do so" is a crucial distinguishing factor here.
Nobody would be debating this incredibly tiresome issue yet again if her name wasn't there, or hadn't been there. That provides the frisson which draws us. But it is surely dreadfully unfair to name and shame someone without letting them know or respond. That for me is the outstanding issue right now. As for my responsibility for deleting the name, all I can say is that of the thousands of dreadfully tactless posts I have made, I have never retracted a syllable even though I would be delighted to unsay a million things. But .... it just seems to pretend, so inauthentic, so unconvincing, so --- I just don't know how to handle it.
A cautionary tale: I once posted on this forum a story about an unpleasant design experience I had a few years back. I used the name of the client because the name was germane to the story. Unfortunately, she googled her company name and found the link (even tho it was buried deep). The good news is that I had only nice things to say about her product; the bad news was I called her a "nightmare client" and "her own worst enemy" and "dreadful taste" and she read about it. OOPS! I'll be more careful next time...
So this stuff does get back to you. Bill, you should really remove the name from your post as requested, even if it goes against your "anti-censorship" stance. [I edited my post here to add the 'r' at the end of 'your' for grammatical reasons]
And IMHO Mark your prof should be teaching painting, not design. Her abstracts are lovely.
Her paintings are gorgeous—and it seems that Mr. Typo you have gotten your wish, courtesy of a moderator.
This is so pathetic. You take away her name and then all you can do is talk about her paintings -- to those of us who know her name. So now there's the in-crowd -- the moderators and the people who got here soon enough -- and there's the out-crowd -- who don't know whose 'gorgeous' paintings are being discussed. (I must say I think they are amongst the most tiresome pieces of provincial dreck I have ever seen, moreover that they are perfectly consistent with the personality profile of someone who would want to teach her students to be digital pickpockets.)
Mark, you write,
>I used poor judgment by posting her site and that is why I chose to censor myself. You on the other hand had to have made a conscious decision to uncensor me. For as soon as I made my edit, you posted her name in your remarks in a way that I believe not to be part of the natural flow of conversation, but forced.<
Mark, you are establishing for youself the profile of a rather overhasty overreacter. "As soon as I made my edit, you posted her name" you claim.
What if I didn't see your edit? What if I was responding from a refresh of a couple of hours before or even the day before? If this is your standard of trial and judgement, I think my sympathies may revert to old what's her name with that Persian cat. As chronic ringworm is endemic in American Persian cats, there's another reason to sympathize with Riva or Rita or whatever her ill-omened name was.
"Much like a politician who talks about something egregious and inserts his targets identity."
Mark, has anyone ever suggested you might be projecting?
"To be perfectly honest and at risk of supporting Cooper's opinion of me, I do not want her evolved for I am not as of yet out of the clutches of the School and hence her own as well."
From what I've heard off list you've made so many enemies over this that you might just as well pack up and start going to law school or something. But change your name first.
"I realize that I am serving my own interests"
Not until you stop posting.

Huh??? Can this readly happen to an anonymous poster writing (mostly) anonymously about a professor and her said school?
Impossible to answer this as written: do you mean readily or really? What is 'mostly anonymously'? Is that like being 'mostly' pregnant? And do you mean 'said' school as in the quaint old legal usage (which implies that the school has been explicitly named in a previous clause) or do you mean 'sad'? Or do you mean something else quite different, Dan? In a way, it's rather thrilling to see so much ambiguity in one simple sentence. Fond Greetings, Bill
PS: Re the censorship thing, I don't like this Puritanical way of doing things. I prefer the Wikipedia model, where you can't actually erase anything -- it's all in the history where anyone with enough patience can find it. I really feel strongly about this.
I really don't understand why editing your own post is considered censorship.
And Bill if you don't like it, then goodbye and don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Well, the writer was anonymous, and he named the professor, but then cut that part out, anonymousing her in the process, which was for the best, in my opinion. But while it was still possible to know the professor's name, I guess that it would have been possible to link her to the school, which wasn't ever explicitly named in the discussion, as far as I know. Sorry for not being clearer, and for my obtuse run-on sentences. I have a tendency to do that. I just wanted to ask you to elaborate on your statement, the one I quoted in my post above. I find it difficult to believe that a thread without a lot of details or clear statements could make someone have a lot of new enemies :-(
"I really don't understand why editing your own post is considered censorship."
It's worse. It's lying. It's pretending you didn't say something, in public, that you did say in public. It is totally, 100 percent, dishonest. It is a kind of mendacity which I find utterly despicable.
"And Bill if you don't like it, then goodbye and don't let the door hit you on the way out."
Same to you but with fraises des bois and whipped cream on the side.
"I find it difficult to believe that a thread without a lot of details or clear statements could make someone have a lot of new enemies :-("
Well I've just made at least one new enemy, Patty, without even trying. But as for what you were talking about, Dan, don't you think there's a small possibility I might have been pulling someone's leg? Just a possibility, mind you.
Mark's bound to have at least one new enemy when R-word finds out what he's been posting about her. Plus, faculty will probably stand behind her, and administration, and if not, well, at least her cat will, so that's two enemies, one of them with pretty sharp claws. Oh God, the things one will do not to work on a typeface!
Ooh, now the enemies list is starting to build. (Oh no, am I going to be on it for posting this?)
Bill, Patti is a well respected member of the group, for longer than I have been here. I don't think you are going to gain points with the rest of us by claiming she is your "enemy".
I basically agree with Bill on one subject - once a post is responded to it should become uneditable. That is the only reasonable way to have coherent threads.
And you won't gain any points with me if your sense of humour doesn't improve. So this is the new aristocracy in type? Those who have been on typophile for x years? Patti sailed over on the Mayflower, as it were? An august founding mother of type? Defending the gates against the notorious Barbarian, Bill?
Taking Paul's point: that's absolutely true. There's no chance of coherence if anyone can edit at will. I look at it from a different perspective. I've been on type listserves and newsgroups since the early 90s, when they were just coming out. There was no way to edit once you had said something. You had to take responsibility for saying whatever you said. Is there something wrong with that?
One difference with a listserve is that it _can_ be private, theoretically -- if the list isn't made public. This is what happened, for example, to the ATypI list, a few years ago. Hrant Papazian said some things about John Downer that his publisher Zuzana Licko didn't like. She contacted Cynthia Hollandsworth and threatened to sue if the offensive posts were not removed. Instead, ATypI chose to take the list private.
At that time, both parties to the dispute decided _not_ to tell Hrant that it was his actions that led to the ATypI list being closed, on the sensible grounds that if he found out, he'd make a very great deal of noise about it. I'm being a little naughty, revealing it here for the first time .... so I might as well add the quaint detail that amused me the most, which was that Cynthia had no idea who Licko was or of the high esteem in which she then was held by some. She referred to her as 'some woman'.
I know I'm going to regret posting this. It's bound to make me new and influential enemies .... yet somehow, in spite of my dreadful history of 15 years of dreadful public indiscretions in type, the people who really matter still talk to me, perhaps because they know I love their work, and sometimes come close to understanding it.
When I was first on the Type Design List and to a very limited extent Typo-L, they were not available to non-subscribers on the net but I think they now are. Very embarrassing in some cases.
The lists have largely been taken over by blogs such as typophile and typographica. I don't think posts should be editable. You want to make a public pronouncement? Then take the responsibility for doing so.
Taking it a level further, what about the case of the internet AA group where someone confessed to a murder? I know the girl who outed him to the police. Want to bet he wished he hadn't posted? Yet that is a case where there was a far greater presumption of privacy ....
I don't think my profile -- whatever that is -- can get any worse. Such considerations have never moved me.
Is that an attestable Latin word?<
I don't know, Uli, to the best of my knowledge it was invented last night
"avicaptor" is a perfect Latin neologism. Horace would have used it :-)

IAG, the parent company of British Airways, showed none of the signs of strain that have led to two warnings from its rival Ryanair, as it smashed through analysts' forecasts to post significantly higher profits.
The aviation giant, formed through the 2011 merger of BA and Spain's Iberia, unveiled a pre-tax profit of €103 million (£86m) after exceptionals for the first nine months of the year, up from a €121m loss in 2012. Revenue climbed 4pc to €14bn.
The result was fuelled by a strong performance from British Airways but also stellar results from Vueling, the low cost Spanish airline IAG secured in April.
A controversial turnaround at Iberia, which will have resulted in 2,700 job losses by the end of 2013, has also started to bear fruit as IAG expects all three of its carriers to become profitable next year.
IAG turned a €690m operating profit in the third quarter, the strongest three months of the year for airlines, exceeding a consensus of analysts' forecasts by more than €100m.
Willie Walsh, the outspoken chief executive of IAG, said the airline giant is not witnessing anything "particularly unusual" in the current trading environment, casting doubt on some of the market conditions reported by its low cost rival Ryanair. Ryanair earlier this week issued its second profit warning in two months as it slashes fares and seeks to improve customer service to beat off growing competition.
"I don't think you could have achieved those sorts of results in an environment as bleak as some people would want you to believe," Mr Walsh said in a thinly-veiled dig at his competitor.
He suggested some of the price competition in certain parts of the European market is "possibly caused by Ryanair" as they "set the price in a lot of markets".
However, Mr Walsh refused to criticise his colourful opposite number at Ryanair - Michael O'Leary - who has been making headlines this week with his outlandish views.
"I don't think O'Leary has got it wrong because he's still producing very healthy results," Mr Walsh said.
IAG has been taking on Ryanair on some routes with Vueling, the Barcelona-based budget carrier of which IAG took control earlier this year in a €123.5m deal.
Mr Walsh hinted at an aggressive expansion of Vueling, which recently opened a new base in Belgium and serves 107 destinations. In the summer, IAG ordered 62 new narrow-body jets for Vueling, which currently has 70 aircraft.
Although part of the order, which is worth $5.4bn at catalogue prices, will be used to replace some of Vueling's current fleet, the order also signalled a significant expansion into the low cost market.
Mr Walsh said Vueling's operating margin in the third quarter was 25pc compared to 13pc at BA and 6pc at Iberia. In the year to date, traffic at Vueling has grown 28.1pc compared to 3.4pc at BA and a reduction of 17pc at Iberia.
"We believe it is more efficient than easyJet in terms of its cost [base]" Mr Walsh said. "Its customer proposition is very different from Ryanair - it has a friendly image and a friendly service culture and continues to build on that."
Mr Walsh believes Vueling, which flies from Heathrow and Gatwick to destinations in continental Europe, can take market share in countries such as Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Scandinavia and Greece, where embattled legacy carriers are cutting capacity.
IAG is expected to reveal further details about its plans for Vueling at a capital markets day next week.
The third quarter results propelled IAG to the top of the FTSE 100 on Friday morning, as the group guided towards a full year operating profit of €740m before exceptional items.
Mr Walsh said Iberia has made progress since last year, when IAG warned the Spanish flag carrier was in a "fight for survival".
Iberia made a €74m operating profit in the third quarter but Mr Walsh warned there remained a lot to do at the airline. In the nine months to the end of September, Iberia has racked up operating losses of €160m, he said.

Metals offer rings another dimension. They are there to cradle the precious gem and must look after it wherever it may go. Different metals offer different looks as well as different properties.
James works with Silver, Gold (yellow, white and rose) and Platinum. The choice is yours.
Silver is a versatile metal and finds its niche in creating charming, smaller bespoke gifts, such as cufflinks and pendants. It is also great for developing prototypes of more expensive rings whilst deciding the final design. As silver is a relatively soft metal it is unsuitable for some gem settings.
Gold is a luxurious metal that comes in different purities, commonly 9ct, 14ct and 18ct gold - all available in yellow, white and rose colours. The higher the purity, the higher the gold content. 24ct gold, the highest purity, will easily loose shape due to softness, so most rings are created with 9-18ct gold, depending on budget.
Yellow Gold is an ideal choice when working with diamonds that have a slight tint of colour (diamonds graded 'colour H' or above).
White Gold gives a shiny, mirror-like finish. Its reflective qualities will enhance the brilliance of any diamond. It is a good alternative to the more expensive platinum but has a similar effect. To keep white gold looking at its best it's recommended to rhodium plate it every 12-18 months.
Rose Gold is a lovely, unusual alternative to the more traditional white and yellow. Its warm pinky colour means it perfectly compliments many different skin tones.
Platinum is a supreme option when looking for a metal that never looses its shine, keeps its shape and withstands wear and tear. In addition, minor scratches can be easily polished out by a jeweller due the metal's density. Platinum is also completely hypoallergenic and inert, making it a great choice for allergy sufferers or people with sensitive skin.

In the month leading up to Passover, Repair the World is sharing stories that highlight the on-the-ground ways our fellows, volunteers, and partner organizations serve in solidarity to turn the tables on racial injustice. Today, meet Pablo Baeza who works for the pioneering immigrant and refugee support organization, Nationalities Service Center in Philadelphia. Then, join our Passover campaign and help us serve in solidarity by hosting and volunteering. Together we can #ActNowForRacialJustice.
Since the 1920s, Nationalities Service Center in Philadelphia has helped immigrants and refugees arriving in America start productive lives in their new home. From picking up families from the airport and getting them settled, to helping them navigate school enrollment, acquiring State IDs, English language classes, and job placement, NSC has served as an anchor for tens of thousands of newcomers.
The immigrants and refugees that NSC works with have come from all over the world – from Vietnam, Burma, and Bhutan, Ukraine and Ethiopia, and a recent influx of Syrians and people from sub-Saharan Africa. Many of them, said NSC volunteer coordinator, Pablo Baeza, are people who've fled war and religious or political persecution in their homelands. Some are survivors of torture and trauma. All seek a safe home to raise their families and live in peace.
Unfortunately, the current Administration's unsupportive stance on immigration has changed the pace of NSC's work. "Before Inauguration Day, we had 71 people arrive in January alone," Baeza said. But the number of arrivals has since dropped dramatically. Meanwhile, some families that expected loved ones to arrive shortly after they did have been gravely disappointed.

Samsung Pay is expected to launch in the UK and Spain early this year. The head of Samsung Pay Europe revealed that the launch will be "very soon," but said the exact date and other details will be revealed at the MWC.
The Samsung Galaxy S7, the start of Samsung's MWC show, will be unveiled on February 21 and we'll most likely see Pay piggyback on its media attention (the MWC is held in Spain, after all).
Also in the first wave of expansion for this year is China, with Australia, Singapore and Brazil following later. It's not just the S7 that supports Samsung Pay, the new Galaxy A (2016) series does too.
