- Brad Smith made the claim that Richard Stallman noted evidence that "Linux infringed 283 different software patents." This number comes from a study who's author Dan Ravicher says in response to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's claim of 283 patent infringments "He misconstrues the point of the OSRM study, which found that Linux potentially, not definitely, infringes 283 untested patents, while not infringing a single court-validated patent."
He then goes on to claim that Stallman defended these violations by saying that "proprietary software is evil." If Linux developers had no regard for patent law and were borrowing freely from proprietary software, there would be a lot more than 283 possible infringements. - Like Reply Link Flag
- What "evil" means
- When Richard Stallman says that "proprietary software is evil" he means it in the same sense as "taxation without representation is evil". Free software proponents have very high regard to this kind of law and that's why they want to change it, just like the founding fathers of the US of A highly regarded the law of the king and therefore have not settled to breaking laws they didnn't like but instead replaced them with new and better laws.

- Speechless
- While I agree that patents, in many cases, can have a positive effect in protecting the new and innovative designs of developers. However it can also be used to stranglehold an industry, like say when Microsoft patents verb conjugation, creating multiple files from one (winzip), installing software on a computer and my personal favourite the patent for the 'double-click'.

- Intelectual feudalism
- Whan MS's attorney Brad Smith says "we would like to see everyone participate in the patent system, playing by the same rules" what he refers to are the rules of "intelectual feudalism". There is no room for individuals in their world unless they are backed up by rich huge corporations. Linux is OK for them as something distributed by Novell that can play by MS's rules, and they can live with other Linux distributors' as well as any other project as long as there are corporations that can close multi-million $s licensing deals. But there's no room in their world to individuals that are not backed up by huge companies. That's feudalism, were only the nobility can own property. Others may work for them...
Science fiction has these scenarios of humans creating robots and then robots taking over their world. well, humans created corporations and corporations took over their world. It doesn't mean that no humans can be in control. Some humans can be in positions of power by having control of corporations, but that's almost the only way. Corporations are parasites that depend on humans to survive, and this allows a few humans to get into a position of power, but only by playing by the rules of corporations, including "participation in the patent system, playing by the rules".
Now he tells us that:
Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation,
noted evidence that "Linux infringed 283 different
software patents." He defended such violations on the grounds
that "proprietary software is evil."
Obviously he tries to make us think that those Linux thives are spying on MS and others and stealing their idea. But what actually is happenning is exactly the opposite. These patents are intelectual "property" of MS and others only inasmuch as anything you produce in a communist regime belongs to the state and anything you produce in a feudalistic regime belongs to the king that assigns rights to this property. So what really happens is that the patent office (the king's clerk) assigns a franchise to MS or someone else that is written in legalese pig-latin that that asigns all possible revenue from applying a certain process to the holder of the franchise (patent) for the next 20 years. Then someone has the same idea. They use their own idea to build something. If it's unsuccessful then nothing happens. If it's successful then they are notified by the holder of the license that whatever they produced is not theirs because the king has decided to confiscate it and they have to hand it over.
Patents are a sort of feudalistic regime that can work in limited circumstances. With millions of patents that no one is able to know about they are obstacles more than incentives. And they mainly serve nowadays to protect the feudalistic regime that MS and some others favor.

Here's a few quotes on so called "software patents" for you
Bruce Schneier and Niels Ferguson 2003
"We don't believe that patents serve the security community."
"In our opinion, the cost of the current patent system for the IT industry far outweighs the advantages."
John Carmack (id Software) 2005
"In the majority of cases in software, patents [affect] independent invention. Get a dozen sharp programmers together,
give them all a hard problem to work on, and a bunch of them will come up with solutions that would probably be
patentable, and be similar enough that the first programmer to file the patent could sue the others for patent
infringement. Why should society reward that? ... The programmer that filed the patent didn't work any harder because a
patent might be available, solving the problem was his job and he had to do it anyway. ... Yes, it is a legal tool that
may help you against your competitors, but I'll have no part of it. It's basically mugging someone."
Oracle Corporation 1994
Submission to USPTO
"Oracle Corporation opposes the patentability of software. The Company believes that existing copyright law and
available trade secret protections, as opposed to patent law, are better suited to protecting computer software
Prof. Hasso Plattner when Chair of SAP Board
"...SAP would not need patents to protect its investments and is collecting them only as a defensive weapon to prepare
for litigation in the U.S..."
Pierre Haren, board director of ILOG 2001
"...The American experience of software patents is a disaster. Before imitating them we should rather try to see if
they won't agree to change their system..."
Robert Barr (Cisco Systems Intellectual Property Department) 2002
"...The time and money we spend on patent filings, prosecution, and maintenance, litigation and licensing could be
better spent on product development and research leading to more innovation..."
Douglas Brotz (Adobe Systems) 1994
"...I believe that software per se should not be allowed patent protection..."
Jim Warren (Autodesk) 1994
"...There is absolutely no evidence, whatsoever?not a single iota?that software patents have promoted or will promote

- Use Ogg - Much better than MP3 in every aspect
- Search on an engine and you will see that .Ogg files have now a better compression, kipping a greater quality sound than MP3 format. And they are totaly FREE OpenSource.

- Are you sure Ogg infringes on no patent?
- The fact that some people have created ogg and made it publicly available (i.e. licensed their "intelectual property" to the public by "putting their work in the public domain" or something similar) does not mean that there is no patent infinged by implementations of ogg. If ogg became more popular surely someone would pop out of nowhere and claim that they infringe on his patent and everyone should pay up.
That's what happened to MS. They licensed Fraunhofer's institute patents that affect their MP3 codecs, but now it turned out that there are more patents affecting their covered that they did not license. And this is exactly the claim against software patents: There are so many minute components that are included in software and that their inclusion is straightforward and usually also trivial or just natural (in that when they are coded they are just the natural solution to the small problem tackled within a much bigger project) that it is impossible to innovate without a very high probability that some patents would be infringed upon. So MS licensed Fraunhofer Institutes patents but that doesn't constitute "licensing MP3 technology". You cannot license the technology. You can only license patents affecting the technology, and it doesn't cover any patents you haven't thought about. the only full protection is to license every single patent there is (or at least go over all of them and license all but those that eveidently cannot be related to your work) and even MS cannot do this.
I don't believe that it is possible for ogg to do what it does without (unknowingly) infringing on some patents that are either legally valid or require years of litigation and many millions of $$s to invalidate. - Like Link Flag

- Hey Brad nice rack(et)
- Sounds like you got your legal degree from the Mafia, Brad. You mention the Novell agreement which at this point is nothing more than racketeering and extortion. As of this date Microsoft has not come forward with any code that infringes on existing patents yet is threatening Linux distro's and consumers of infringement and strong arming Novell into a $40+ million payout to your racket. But maybe Microsoft will take it's own fall this time and not setup some puppet (SCO) to take that fall. Defending developers rights is one thing, erroneously defending those rights to create a corporate racket is another.

- Example of proposed M$ patent "reform"
- So M$ wants patent "reform". What might that look like?
Well, one "reform" http://news.zdnet.com/2100-3513_22-5867383.html
proposed by the "software" industry, (that is to say, the immediate small group of executives who control large software corporations and their lawyers), as represented in this instance by the BSA, would instantiate a system that
"award(s) damages 'based on the proportional value of patented invention(s) alone, not on the cumulative value of all features included on a large product, which, for a computer, can be thousands and thousands of features.'"
So here will be the situation:
MS will rip off small developers, blind as they have always done. The small developers will then have to find a lawyer interested in litigating against the inexhaustable money of MS with the following contingency "incentive": if the lawyer wins against M$ , he or she then starts litigating exactly what "proportional infringement" took place. That would involve, oh things like the testimony of domain experts hired by MS who will claim that the infringing feature only constituted .00000007 of the utility of ONE PART of the program which itself was only 1/50th of the overall program utility which, in turn, was only of interest to a tiny fraction of their buyers. You and your lawyer can then enjoy arguing with them over each and every calculation, statistic, study, sales figure, industry poll and anything else that MS comes up with.
Yeah, that's patent reform all right. That's getting tough.
Small business IS the major growth engine and what small business needs is NOT software patents. The prosperity you
cite was created in a non-patent environment- how can people forget this?- and software will devolve into a "big three"
industry if patent thickets become a necessary prerequisite for entry to market.
Here's Knuth, http://www.maa.org/past/knuth.html (for non-programmers) and here's his letter to Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks from 2003, which I quote not just because Knuth is a true genius and pioneer and universally revered, but because he expresses it exactly right:
http://lpf.ai.mit.edu/Patents/knuth-to-pto.txt
He says:
"I strongly believe that the recent trend in patenting algorithms is of benefit only to a very small number of attorneys and inventors, while it is seriously harmful to the vast majority of people who want to do useful things with computers."
"When I think of the computer programs I require daily to get my own work done, I cannot help but realize that none of them would exist today if software patents had been prevalent in the 1960s and 1970s. Changing the rules now will have the effect of freezing progress at essentially its current level."
"If software patents had been commonplace in 1980, I would not have been able to create TEX."[15]
and not just TEX but all internet protocols etc etc every little tiny bit of everything that you use every day. If patents had been permitted, then the internet would now be affordable to corporations only owing to the licensing costs and what's worse, that state of affairs would make sense to everyone since the "internet thing" would seem advanced-to-the-point-of-magical to the average person who never had access to it. That's the world that the people like the author of this "perspective" will, wittingly or otherwise, unleash upon us, and we'll never know the difference.
Perhaps a quote from Gates will shed light on the real intent behind software patents-
from: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/policy/2002/08/15/lessig.html?page=2
"If people had understood how patents would be granted when most of today's ideas were invented and had taken out patents, the industry would be at a complete standstill today...The solution is patenting as much as we can. A future startup with no patents of its own will be forced to pay whatever price the giants choose to impose. That price might be high. Established companies have an interest in excluding future competitors".

- To the lawyer:
- What would you say if I patented a way of presenting to a jury an argument? And researching a case using the internet.
And interviewing witnesses. Why is this not patentable? It's a method of conducting business. Just imagine a world where this is permitted. What is your state? You're afraid to even look at trial transcripts lest you be judge a "willful" infringer. ALternativelyu, you spend all your time reviewing previous trials to be sure you're not infringing. A few companies get more and more patents and everyone else is left unmarketable. Get it? IS this helping the legal profession? Now I will take your voice;
Why is it that the Richard Stallman-types of the legal world of the world are so fanatical about legal patents? Perhaps they could explain why their business methods should not be patentable subject matter like all other Is it because their ox is getting gored?
You're not a software developer. You don't know how many tens of thousands of algorithms I use every day. I don't even know, but if patents become the norm, some lawyer will tell me all about it. It's as Donald Knuth said- it would bring software development to a halt. Why does he think that? Because it's true. It's OBVIOUSLY TRUE to software developers.
Where is the social utility in that? I get some small group of people may get rich, but that's NOT what the US patent system was set for. It was set up to persuade people who would otherwise secret their knowledge from the world to instead share it. If I and 50 thousand other people spontaneously "invent" the same thing when we encounter similar problems, where is the utility in the patent? Nowhere. Where is the damage? Everywhere. Why should we put up with a system that inflicts that on society? We shouldn't We aren't going to.
Furthermore you have NO evidence and a MOUNTAIN of evidence to the contrary that software patents promote the useful arts, which the Constitution clearly requires.
Let's say for arguments sake their exists a software patent so novel and useful in its conception that no one argues about those aspects of it. Let's take for example the case of client server communication way back when. What happens
if we permit a patent? The person obtains lots of licensing revenue from large companies who can afford his monopoly price. What doesn't happen? All the individual creatives like Steve Jobs, all the academics who want to start their businesses, all the myriad of people whose businesses will come to employ others, all the avalanche of excitement and tinkering and improvement etc etc go away. Why? Because those individuals aren't going to sit around and read patents and try to decide if the next line of code they wrote infringes and wait to get sued by lawyers. There's far too many individual algorithms involved for that to be even logistically within their grasp. Unfortunately, these are the very people who MAKE an industry. But they're going to find another field to be creative in. They never needed patents to motivate them to take a shot at creating something, starting a company and making their fortunes, but patents will drive them off. SO the internet remains the province of the few well heeled companies....

- software patents are unconstitutiional.
- The uber-reason that they should not be considered as patentable is that they do not promote innovation and advancement in the useful arts and sciences, as specified in the US Constitution. Absent that effect, no patent is to be issued, as per the Constitution. Patents are NOT an ENTITLEMENT in any sense of that word.
Whether or not patents promote progress in other areas is a moot point and this lawyer's assertion that patents are the engine of innovation is what's known as a circular argument, specifically, he is assuming that which he sought to prove.
You cannot just make grand statements like "patents are the engines of innovation" and have it become magically true.
AS proof that patents are not needed I offer an existence proof- the booming economy and mass creation of jobs services and abilities all of which generate economic, and even political, activity which would otherwise not exist. This was brought into existence without the use of patents.
An existence proof is the strongest proof we humans have; a thing or state of affairs exists, so there you have it, and as far as proving your case, your work is done.
But some people want to change all that. Where is their proof that things will be even better? They have none. They have a theory. They have a philosophical bias, I call it a obsession, that if a little IP is good, more IP is better.
It is the kind of classic unbalanced thinking that excites a certain kind of mind that wants to see in all problems the same solution. Those kinds of people wash out of programming. Maybe some of them become lawyers; I don't know. I am pretty sure we have some of them in the Whitehouse now. That's costing me money, too.
Yes the Brads of the world will be able to buy yet another house in the Hamptons and send their kids to $30,000 a year pre-school if software patents are permitted, but we're trying to make a Capitalist economic system work here folks, not reward special interests at the expense of the economy and the financial stability of the country. - Like Reply Link Flag
- Software patents and innovation
- I'd have to say that in some cases you are correct. A software
patent is filed simply to block a competitor from developing a
competing system. This is a perversion of the intent of the
However, in other cases software/method patents provide
motivation to innovate. I'll admit upfront that I am biased as I've
recently filed a 'software' patent (actually its a system patent).
My reasoning is pretty straightforward. I'm developing software
that, in the professional field I'm developing this for, at least
seems to be unique in its scope and functionality. In this
endevour I'm not part of a large company - in fact we only have
2 people in the company and a couple of very infrequent part
timeers on a shoestring budget. What the patent, even just the
application for the patent, does is give us an asset that makes us
a more valuable to investors. In the field I'm in there are two or
three very large and very dominant players (Boeing, GE and
General Dynamic sized players. these aren't the entities involved
though) and the patent will prevent them from using their
considerably resources to release a copy cat application which
duplicates our functionality even if it avoids our design
copyright. In this case at least a patent is helping to level the
playing field between a couple of people literally working out of
their living room and multibillion dollar mega corps. Eventually
we will likely have to sell the underlying tech to one of these
players but that's alright - very little gets done outside of these
major players. What happening is that we are making these
people treat with us as equals and that never could happen
without strong IP protection on our side.
We could, as I am sure some will suggest, just do the whole
thing as an open source project. Unfortunately in this field open
source has made few inroads and seems unlikely to do so for
some time. Our software has been shown to save lives and
money and I think its a worthwhile and valuable resource that
deserves protection for the people that have invested (at this
point) 10 man years of time and effort.
In these cases I believe that the patent is justifiable and
worthwhile. I expect people to disagree with me and thats fine
(thought I would appreciate civility). I'm not really going to talk
more on this though. I just wanted people to know that there are
people; average, normal, everyday people, who are being helped
by the patent process. All I ask is that you keep people like me
and my partner in mind when you discuss this issue. - Like Link Flag
- Software patents would not bring software innovation to a halt ...
- Software patents would not bring software innovation to a halt ...
It wouldjust drive it to the underground. Some people that could be developing software would no doubt find other fields of interests. Not everyone is fit to the underground. But some would continue to innovate by infringing on software patents they do not know except that they know there are so many of them they cannot escape infringing. They'll have to do it in the underground which will be not as beneficial to the general public, and the real risks involved would no doubt invite some violence, not unlike production of alcoholic beverages in the undergroung during prohbition as opposed to doing the same openly when its legal.
It sounds impossible that software patents can cause people to become violent, but it's just a matter of time. There will eventually be that software developer that invests everything in developing something only to be ripped off by some corporation that happened to "own" the rights to some components that after losing everything would decide to seek revenge the classical way... - Like Reply Link Flag
- I agree
- Yes if you're trying to force down the throats of the people some scheme that only some amphetamine addicted economists at the Chicago School of Economics really believe in- that is IP on every *single* thought and twit and twiddle and everything "man can conceive of" then all you're really doing is turning your most creative citizens into criminals and breeding widespread and utter contempt for the rule of law, for Congress and for business interests generally.
Do you know that if a handyman designs say, whatever, a fire pit in his backyard somewhere and some company somewhere has a patent on that design (that this guy doesn't know about) he is a criminal for making it and a criminal for using it even though it was his own thought and he didn't sell it to anyone?
That is exactly what we all are, but we just just don't know it- criminals.
So yes, you're going to breed contempt for law, for lawmakers and you're going to create a underground culture and economy of software full of "forbidden" thoughts and implementations. And you knwo what? No one will care except MS and the congressmen they have in their pocket.
Music bootleggers don't have a philosophical or intellectual or moral leg to stand on- you really shouldn't copy music you didn't pay for. But with software, programmers have all three- intellectual, moral and philosophical. IF you think stopping music down loaders is hard, wait until the general public starts to use "forbidden" software. When MS has turned everyone into, effectively a criminal, just see what happens to society then.
We're held together as a people and as a nation because we believe that our laws are fair and just and worth fighting for and worth obeying.
If you want to see what widespread contempt for law and widespread perception of lawmakers as the servants of illegitimate special interests looks like, then have a look at Somolia or Iraq.

Sierra Leone
FactsBackground: Democracy is slowly being reestablished after the civil war from 1991 to 2002 that resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and the displacement of more than 2 million people (about one-third of the population). The military, which took over full responsibility for security following the departure of UN peacekeepers at the end of 2005, is increasingly developing as a guarantor of the country's stability. The armed forces remained on the sideline during the 2007 presidential election, but still look to the UN Integrated Office in Sierra Leone (UNIOSIL) - a civilian UN mission - to support efforts to consolidate peace. The new government's priorities include furthering development, creating jobs, and stamping out endemic corruption. note: data are in 2010 US dollars GDP (official exchange rate): $1.901 billion (2010 est.); GDP - real growth rate: 5.2% (2010 est.); 4.4% (2009 est.); 5.5% (2008 est.); GDP - per capita (PPP): $900 (2010 est.); $900 (2009 est.); $900 (2008 est.); note: data are in 2010 US dollars GDP - composition by sector: agriculture: 49%; industry: 31%; services: 21% (2005 est.); Population below poverty line: 70.2% (2004); Household income or consumption by percentage share: lowest 10%: 2.6%; highest 10%: 33.6% (2003); Labor force: 2.207 million (2007 est.); Labor force - by occupation: agriculture: NA%; industry: NA%; services: NA%; Unemployment rate: NA%; Budget: revenues: $96 million; expenditures: $351 million (2000 est.); Industries: diamond mining; small-scale manufacturing (beverages, textiles, cigarettes, footwear); petroleum refining, small commercial ship repair; Industrial production growth rate: NA%; Electricity - production: 80 million kWh (2007 est.); Electricity - consumption: 74.4 million kWh (2007 est.); Electricity - exports: 0 kWh (2008 est.); Electricity - imports: 0 kWh (2008 est.); Statistics: CIA World Factbook.

General Comments:
The quietest ride of any car I have ever driven.
Acceleration is exceptional.
Handling is adequate for a large car, this is no sports job.
Highway gas mileage is very respectable, 26-27 mpg in my experience.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Plot & Details
Six farm animals leave the safety of their barn to help save Judah the Lamb from becoming a Passover sacrifice in this animated adventure featuring the voices of Ernest Borgnine and Michael Madsen. Judah's white coat makes him an ideal candidate to be the guest of honor at the upcoming Passover celebrations -- but this is one party where no one would care to have such a distinction. Fortunately Judah's friends aren't about to let that happen, and as the big day draws near everyone springs into action. Now, as hot-headed adolescent donkey Jack (Scott Eastwood), Esmay the cow (Sandi Patti), and Slink the mouse (Borgnine) spring into action, the sacrificial lamb might just get a second chance.

Read Whole Story
Due to the "great recession" we have become increasingly more time crunched and more thoughtful about over-spending. It only makes sense that with these changes in our lives we have also seen a change in our philosophy toward re-gifting.
In this age of green giving, when many of us have accumulated way too much stuff, re-gifting seems to have become a bit more socially acceptable. Giving away things that we know we will never use -- and that someone else would like -- that's admirable, right?
By Dan Gould of Networx: What's the deal with regifting? Is it a social faux pas? If you do it, does it mean you're a cheapskate? These are hig...

Picking a goalkeeper of the year is fraught with uncertainty, as any of a number of subjective criteria can be considered in making one's choice. Some No. 1's command the penalty area with animated gestures and fierce lectures to their teammates following defensive miscues, while others stand quiet between the posts making only the necessary moves to keep the ball from going into the back of the net.
Basing the decision purely on the available stats can also be a bit tricky, where favorable results in metrics such as saves-per-game and total shutouts act to skew the rankings toward 'keepers that play behind weak defenses and strong defenses respectively. Given how disparate the reasons can be to justify whether one goalkeeper is better than another, it was not surprising to learn that SB Nation's panel of soccer writers could not reach a consensus on naming the 2011 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, and instead honored both Kasey Keller of the Seattle Sounders and Nick Rimando of Real Salt Lake as joint winners of the award.
SBN Soccer MLS Goalkeeper of the Year voting
Here's how the voting broke down:Player | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | Total |
Keller | 6 | 5 | 4 | 32 |
Rimando | 6 | 5 | 4 | 32 |
Mondragon | 3 | 1 | 4 | 15 |
Hartman | 1 | 4 | 3 | 14 |
Kennedy | 3 | 1 | 2 | 13 |
Saunders | 2 | 2 | 1 | 11 |
Hall | 1 | 1 | 4 | 9 |
Reis | 1 | 1 | 1 | 6 |
Nielsen | 1 | 1 | 5 | |
Ricketts | 0 | 2 | 1 | 5 |
A quick glance at the table shows that this year's voting did not break down into a two-horse race. Instead, a total of six goalkeepers finished with double-digit scores, with any one of that sextet arguably deserving of the award. Both Keller and Rimando had exceptional seasons within the framework of MLS, but also in outside competitions during the 2011 calendar.
While Rimando helped RSL to the finals of the CONCACAF Champions League earlier this spring, Keller led Seattle to their third consecutive Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Championship back in October. Neither will get a chance to add the 2011 MLS Cup trophy to their list of accomplishments - perhaps the unsung hero of the Los Angeles Galaxy Josh Saunders will be able to make that claim - but their regular-season performances helped their teams finish with the second and third best records in the league.
A look at the final regular season statistics suggests that SB Nation's voting panel was less concerned with the numbers and more influenced by results. The MLS saves leader in 2011 was San Jose Earthquakes 'keeper Jon Busch, who recorded 113 saves in 33 games as a starter - Keller finished third with 110 and Rimando totaled 95 - but his team finished well short of the postseason. A quick scan of the MLS leaders in winning percentage sees the overall winner by a large margin being Saunders of Los Angeles, who finished with 3 points in more than two-thirds of the games he started. Unfortunately for Saunders, who needed a devastating arm injury suffered to season opener starter Donovan Ricketts to take over as the Galaxy's No. 1, he made only 19 appearances in 2011 and was not rated as high by the voters.
Incidentally, and not surprising given the strength of the Galaxy's defense, Ricketts and Saunders finished first and second in the league in another worthy statistic: goals against average. Keller and Rimando both ended up lower down the top-10 list.
So why were Keller and Rimando rated so highly by the voters? Perhaps it simply came down to winning. Factor out the two-headed Galaxy 'keeper corps, and the SB Nation co-winners played for two of the best teams in the league. That both Keller and Rimando had their seasons cut short of an MLS Cup Championship by the Galaxy is no mark of shame, and both goalkeepers can be proud of their achievements. And while Rimando will continue to ply his trade at Rio Tinto Stadium for the foreseeable future, Keller called an end to his career this year following one of his best seasons as a professional. Perhaps the retirement of Keller will open up the door for Rimando, the MLS shutouts leader in 2011, to take home all the Goalkeeper of the Year spoils next season. He certainly has the defense in front of him to make that happen.

Name: NDC TOOK KWESI PRATT TO CHINA ON TAXPAYERS ACCOUNT
AUTHOR: KYEI-MENSAH-OSEI, KOFI.--- ...That the late President Mills was meek is not debatable. Perhaps Prof Mills only mistake was that he trusted his handlers to a fault; even to the point of ignoring the good counsel of his beloved Mrs Ernestina Naadu Mills against that of a withering leaf like Brig-Gen Joseph Nunoo-Mensah! These handlers were the same people former President Rawlings once rightly labelled as greedy bastards. President Millss health issues were made public way back in 2006/2007. Hon Teye Nyaunu then called on the NDC to elect a new flag-bearer when it became apparent that then Presidential Candidate Mills was unwell. This matter lingered on even into the good Professors tenure until he met his untimely death on Tuesday, 24th of July 2012. Readers may recall Herbert Mensah and Ato Ahwois exchanges on radio when each accused the other of being the first to make public the late Presidents hallucinatory symptoms in 2010. One would have thought that in the face of the prevailing circumstances at the time, the Prof Mills handlers would have been a bit more cautious with their handling of the President but like Victorian Task Masters, they didnt care a hoot! For the sake of their bellies and their insatiable greed, they pushed and shoved the poor man to his early grave to the chagrin of Naadu Mills and the entire citizenry. These are indeed avaricious and vain ignoramuses eating with both hands and parading the corridors of power!....
Name: S.TUPID KWESI PRATT INSULTED JJ RAWLINGS. Lord Have Mercy
COLUMNIST: JUSTICE ABEKU NEWTON-OFFEI... I listened to Kwesi Pratt on 13th May 13, 2012 edition of alhaji-alhaji on Ghanas radio Rwanda (radio gold) as he described NPP presidential running mate for upcoming December general elections, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, as having intellectual capacity akin to that of serial caller, it brought back the memories of this very same Kwesis description of Kufuor as having an intelligent quotient of a 6year old. He also described a vote for Nana Addo in the upcoming December elections as sure way to calamity for Ghana. From what I know, the highest academic credential of Kwesi Pratt is his journalism certificate from GIJ somewhere in the 70s and his only claim to fame on our Ghanaian political landscape has been nothing but persistent incoherent ramblings. Kwesi Pratt, practically, hasnt done anything concrete to contribute to our nations socio-economic advancement. He has managed, very much skillfully, to worm his way into the hearts of almost all presidents our nation has had just for some reasons which are very much obvious to every critical observer. Kwesi Pratt once described Felix Kwakye-Ofosu as an intelligent person and he (Kwesi) was looking forward to working with him in the same entity...

There was a time when the federal government put substantial highway dollars in the states to match funds for projects.
That was two wars and a recession ago, though. That was when Congress had its differences but could pass a bill or two every now and again. This Congress and the Congress before hasn't been able to pass a budget that prevents integral federal employees from being furloughed, much less a highway bill that adequately funds states' needs.
So, West Virginia, Ike every other state if the union is hurting when it comes to highway dollars. Add to that a substantial chunk of funding coming from gasoline taxes. Fuel efficiency is all the rage these days. So if cars are consuming less and less gas, there is less revenue coming from taxes.
There goes an adequate stream of highway funding. The governor's blue ribbon commission on highways has identified the needs. And the panel has identified possible funding to meet those needs. These measures include: increasing the sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent; increasing vehicle registration and title fees; raising the cigarette tax by 50 cents a pack; increasing the excise tax on diesel fuel; and raising the automobile privilege tax.
The kicker is that if every single measure were put into place, it would generate $400 million each year. And that's about half needed to fully maintain and repair the state's roads and bridges.
So what to do, what to do? We took the question to our readers last week, the readers who log on each week to www.timeswv.com and vote in ur online poll. Last week we asked, "A blue-ribbon panel is set to make suggestions for how to increase funding for road work in West Virginia by July 1. What would you be willing to pay?"
And here's what you had to say:
• Tolls on new roads — 5.13 percent
• A few pennies more per gallon of gas — 9.4 percent
• A one percent increase on sales tax — 11.11 percent
• Nothing. We need to find a method to pay that doesn't burden the residents of the state — 74.36 percent
We hope that a series of public meetings and more minds adding ideas to the mix will come up with a solution everyone can live with.
This week, let's talk about lawmakers getting involved in advertising geared toward children for unhealthy food on Nickelodeon. What are your thoughts?

'Pothole blitz' badly needed service coming in West Virginia
Hopefully, the heavy snow and extremely cold weather of January, February and early March are in the past.
Remnants of the harsh winter, though, remain. They're faced each day by the state's drivers.
Potholes have West Virginia's roads in their worst condition in years, and the damaging freeze-thaw cycle is not over. -
'The issues are complicated' with e-cigarettes
E-cigarettes have been around for about seven years.
But you'd be shocked at how long the idea for the the tobacco-less product has been around.
"A primitive, battery-operated 'smokeless non-tobacco cigarette' was patented as early as 1963 and described in Popular Mechanics in 1965," Megan McArdle wrote for Business Week last monty. -
Coal industry can't afford to give this administration and EPA more ammunition

Effort to encourage purchase of goods produced in U.S. deserves support
The concept of encouraging the purchase of American-made products is certainly not new.
On the federal level, the Buy American Act was passed in 1933 by Congress and signed by President Herbert Hoover. It required the United States government to prefer U.S.-made products in its purchases. -
'Stop Meth, Not Meds' backed by readers
In West Virginia, there is something referred to as "stop-sale technology" that prevents a person from going to more than one pharmacy to purchase over-the-counter medication that contains the active ingredient pseudoephedrine, a nasal decongestant.
It's not an issue of stuffy noses that lawmakers were worried about when they created the system. -
Even small steps play part in critical mission to reduce childhood obesity
