William of Rubruck
William of Rubruck (c. 1220 – c. 1293) was a Flemish Franciscan missionary and explorer. His account is one of the masterpieces of medieval geographical literature comparable to that of Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta. Born in Rubrouck, Flanders,[1] he is known also as William of Rubruk, Willem van Ruysbroeck, Guillaume de Rubrouck or Willielmus de Rubruquis.
William accompanied King Louis IX of France on the Seventh Crusade in 1248. On May 7, 1253, on Louis' orders, he set out from Constantinople on a missionary journey to convert the Tatars to Christianity.[2] He actually followed the route of the first journey of the Hungarian Friar Julian. With William's party were Bartolomeo da Cremona, an attendant called Gosset, and an interpreter named in William's report Homo Dei, meaning "man of God", perhaps representing the Arabic Abdullah, "servant of God."
After reaching the Crimean town of Sudak, William continued his trek with oxen and carts. Nine days after crossing the Don he met Sartaq Khan, ruler of the Kipchak Khanate. The Khan sent William on to his father, Batu Khan, at Sarai near the Volga. Five weeks later, after the departure from Sudak, he reached the encampment of Batu Khan, Mongol ruler of the Volga River region. Batu refused conversion but sent the ambassadors on to the great Mongol Möngke Khan. He and his travelling companions set off on horseback on September 16, 1253 on a 9,000 km journey to the court of the Great Khan at Karakorum. Upon arrival they were received courteously, and he was given an audience on January 4, 1254.[3] William's account provided an extensive description of the city's walls, markets and temples, and the separate quarters for Muslim and Chinese craftsmen among a surprisingly cosmopolitan population. Among Europeans he encountered were the nephew of an English bishop, a woman from Lorraine who cooked William's Easter dinner and a French silversmith, making ornaments for the Khan's women and altars for the Nestorian Christians.[4] He stayed at the Khan's camp until July 10, 1254, when they began their long journey back home. William and his companions reached the Crusader State of Tripoli on August 15, 1255. William of Rubruck's was the fourth European mission to the Mongols: previous ones were led by Giovanni da Pian del Carpine and Ascelin of Lombardia in 1245 and André de Longjumeau in 1249. The King was encouraged to send another mission by reports of the presence of Nestorian Christians at the Mongolian court.
On his return, William presented to King Louis IX a very clear and precise report, entitled Itinerarium fratris Willielmi de Rubruquis de ordine fratrum Minorum, Galli, Anno gratia 1253 ad partes Orientales.
In this report, he described the peculiarities of Mongolia as well as many geographical observations. There were also anthropological observations, such as his surprise at the presence of Islam in Inner Asia.[5]
William also answered a long-standing question, demonstrating by his passage north of the Caspian, that it was an inland sea and did not flow into the Arctic Ocean; although earlier Scandinavian explorers had doubtless already known this, he was the first to report it.
William's report is divided into 40 chapters. Chapters 1-10 relate general observations about the Mongols and their customs. Chapters from 11 to 40 give an account of the course and the events of William's voyage.
The report of William of Rubruck is one of the great masterpieces of medieval geographical literature, comparable to that of Marco Polo, although they are very different. William was a good observer, and an excellent writer. He asked many questions along the way and did not take folk tale and fable as truth.
In May 1254, during his stay among the Mongols, William entered into a famous competition at the Mongol court, as the khan encouraged a formal debate between the Christians, Buddhists, and Muslims, to determine which faith was correct, as determined by three judges, one from each faith.[6]
Rubruck's account was partly edited and translated into English by Richard Hakluyt in 1598-1600. The full account has been edited by the Société de Géographie in the Recueil de voyages et de mémoires, IV (Paris, 1893), English translation by Rockhill, The Journey of William of Rubruk to the Eastern Parts (London, 1900, ISBN 0-8115-0327-5).

Martin B-57E Canberra |
Serial Number: 55-4274
Markings: 363rd Tactical Reconnaissance Wing, Shaw AFB, South Carolina, 1970
The B-57 is one of only two major combat aircraft of foreign design adopted for use by the United States military since the end of World War II. The first British built Canberra arrived in the United States in 1951 and U.S. built aircraft began flying two years later. The B-57E version of the plane was the first aircraft in the U.S. inventory specifically built for towing aerial targets. All combat equipment was replaced with the cables and reels needed to tow the large targets used in aerial gunnery practice. The B-57E could be converted to a bomber and a number of them were converted to replace combat loses in Vietnam. Two aircraft were also converted to act as airborne relays for real-time video reconnaissance over Vietnam. While the system, code named, "Compass Site" was successful it was never deployed to Vietnam |

ESPN suspends Bill Simmons from Twitter for First Take critique
Last week, we covered Bill Simmons' Twitter criticism of a First Take incident, in which Richard Sherman went after Skip Bayless like a champ.
Simmons went quickly from "just change the channel" to "everyone lost" and the network has, according to Deadspin's John Koblin, suspended Simmons from Twitter:
"ESPN has suspended Simmons from Twitter for a few days after he called the Skip Bayless-Richard Sherman First Take meltdown last week awful and embarrassing. An ESPN source told me that the tweets violated ESPN's social media guidelines; Simmons was told to lie low for a few days. He hasn't tweeted since Tuesday, and he'll apparently be allowed to return to Twitter tomorrow, making it a three-day hiatus."
This is not the first time Simmons has been suspended from Twitter, with the first one coming in 2009. That suspension was the result of him calling an ESPN affiliated radio network, "deceitful scumbags."
ESPN's guidelines for tweeting are along the lines of thinking before you tweet and re-tweet, don't break news, etc. I am assuming the violating in question with Simmons going at Skip Bayless and First Take was with regards to the following rule:
• At all times, exercise discretion, thoughtfulness and respect for colleagues, business associates and fans.
Regardless of the specifics of the suspension, it's a huge story for ESPN to discipline Bill SImmons, who has been named the most powerful man in sports media by Sports Illustrated. You can argue this is a clear choice by ESPN in taking Skip Bayless' side over Bill Simmons. It also says a lot about Bristol that they were willing to discipline their biggest name for daring to speak out against the atrocity that is First Take. Nobody is above protecting the four letters, not even Bill Simmons. I guess "Embrace Debate" has its limits.
@MarkHeisler LOL - ESPN ensures you preach there propaganda via social media OR ELSE!!!
@justin_ternes @awfulannouncing time for @BillSimmons to role solo. F ESPN...Bayless is such garbage I can't believe they're protecting him
%s wow. Suspended from twitter? Hope Bill Simmons and his followers can get through this dramatic situation. %s
%s Simmons suspended from Twitter by ESPN this week for accurately criticizing First Take. %sb%sons
@awfulannouncing Cracks me up. 1st Take used 2 B somewhat respectable, but now..Bill should just not watch. I predict he goes elsewhere soon
@awfulannouncing Criticizing one's employer can lead to internal discipline when there are guidelines for such. News at 11.
@awfulannouncing Bad decision by the suits at ESPN. He's a huge asset...and he said nothing wrong.
@awfulannouncing ESPN sucks anymore. 1st take is a bullshit show that embarrasses itself everyday. Skip & Stephen A are douche bags
"@awfulannouncing: Bill Simmons was suspended from Twitter by ESPN for criticizing First Take. bit.ly\/WKrcnKHx@mkabbottott
@BrandonWillyams yeah I thought that was stupid Sherman was just going off the deep end but I bet the nfl doesn't fine or suspend him
@awfulannouncing yet nothing happened to Mike Greenberg when he made his "Martin Luther Coon Day" slip.
@awfulannouncing @koblin Way to go ESPN suspend a guy who speaks the truth about a god awful show like first take.
RT @sa2ny2004: ESPN suspends Bill Simmons from Twitter for First Take critique awfulannouncing.com\/2013\/march\/esp…CVQ v@awfulannouncinging"
@Kevin_A_Powell Did you see that segment? It was terrible. I'm not a fan of first take to begin with but that was embarassing.
@awfulannouncing @koblin I haven't watched Cold Pizza since Bayless said hockey players werent athletes after the Sabres-Pens Winter Classi
@awfulannouncing as an Aussie can I explain Skip Bayliss plays to every negative stereotype that foreigners have of Americans
@jamcoux @awfulannouncing @koblin @BillSimmons yea it is. Too bad Simmons can't keep doing it
@whatMike84lunch I just read about it. I don't watch the show. And Simmons just spoke the truth.
Retweeted by Bill Simmons "@ozsportsdude: @awfulannouncing as Aussie, Bayliss plays to every - stereotype foreigners have of Americans"
@ozsportsdude @awfulannouncing all he is missing is the morbid obesity. For all Americans I am sorry
@ozsportsdude @awfulannouncing he plays to every negative stereotype Americans have about Americans
@ozsportsdude @awfulannouncing know the great thing about Americans? we dont give a fuck what foreigners think..although I do hate Bayless
@Kevin_A_Powell yeah I don't like the show either, I watched the segment, it was dumb. Sherman sounded sgupid
@markmoore9517 mate I love the US but when ppl see Bayliss who hate America they come to me and say "See, how can you like them ppl"
@amat87 thanks for proving my point , and 4 the record I love the US & Americans but ppl like U & Bayliss make it tough 4 me 2 defend the US
@cadillaccannon @awfulannouncing mate, I love America but itmakes it hard for me defend the US to antiamerican friends when Bayliss exists

It is really nice to write about a happy topic. When I first began this work, thirty years ago, women were routinely told not to consider a pregnancy after breast cancer treatment. Some doctors were willing to write letters of support for adoption, but there was concern about that due to worry about the mother's future health.
Things have changed. Not only are more women doing fine after treatment, but it is now recognized that pregnancy is not usually a dangerous decision re possible recurrence. Women are often advised to wait a year or two, but, after that, most doctors will support the plan. Here is an excerpt from the European Breast Cancer Conference and then a link to hear a podcast with much more:
"What we found—contrary to the perception of the medical community—was that women who got pregnant following a breast cancer diagnosis actually had a longer survival," Hatem Azim, MD, of the Jules Bordet Institute in Brussels, said in an interview.
The 1,417 patients in the study who became pregnant after a diagnosis of breast cancer had their risk of death reduced by 40% on average compared with patients in the control group of 18,059 breast cancer survivors who did not become pregnant, suggesting a protective effect of pregnancy.
Still, Dr. Azim cautioned, that needed to be interpreted with caution because of possible selection bias, since the women who got pregnant were generally relapse-free.
But because of this potential bias, his team then analyzed data from three studies selecting controls who were relapse-free between diagnosis and conception, and the results still showed positive data for the effect of pregnancy—"which means that even if we control for relapse, women who get pregnant following breast cancer diagnosis have a better outcome," he said.
He acknowledged that it is still not known for certain that pregnancy is protective, but he strongly endorsed the policy of not denying women who want to get pregnant the option of doing so, especially on grounds of maximizing their quality of life.
The researchers talk more about this topic in an
OT Broadcast News interview with Peter Goodwin, accessible on the Podcast link at

Dougherty County -- Students from Dougherty County middle and high schools come up with ways to help themselves and their classmates succeed.
Students leaders from each of the schools met at Albany State University as part of the National Issues Forums community series.
The moderators were sophomores from Dougherty and Monroe High Schools.
They said at Dougherty High books are old and tattered and there aren't enough to go around.
ASU Sophomore Stefon Plummer said, "The schools they have low expectations of the kids. I experienced that at my high school and some of the high schools are underpaid meaning that some of the facilities are not up to date. I also experienced that at my high school and see that at other high schools down here."
Students also complained parents aren't as involved in their student's studies as they could be.
Information gathered from Friday's forum will be sent to the Kettering Foundation and combined with other forums happening across the nation.

From EatingWell: Fall 2003, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)
When fresh, poblanos have a wonderful, somewhat sweet heat that makes a terrific vessel for rich-tasting butternut squash stuffing. Accompanied by corn tortillas or rice and beans, this makes a special vegetarian entree. Most of the preparation can be done in advance and the recipe can easily be doubled. Look for dark green poblanos about 5 inches long, with broad shoulders at the stem, tapering to a pointy tip. Wash your hands thoroughly after removing the seeds or wear rubber gloves; most of the chile oils are found in the seeds and connective membranes.

Facebook's "don't call it email" email will have some effect on major email players, with Yahoo and MSN being exposed more than Google.
The first thing I thought of when Facebook released its FaceMail integrated product yesterday was that Google has SMS, email and IM built into GMail/Google Voice already (along with Voice, calendar and a slew of other stuff as well). Perhaps Google's solution isn't as elegant and its attempts at integration were clumsy (Wave), but they have certainly been more powerful and more open. Analysts seem to agree, pointing out that Yahoo (YHOO) Mail and Microsoft's (MSFT) Hotmail are more exposed than Google (GOOG). Below are four analysts takes: More

KNOXVILLE — The afternoon should have been a relaxing one for Tennessee.
The Volunteers instead made it dramatic.
After appearing completely in control with a 24-point third-quarter lead, Tennessee needed safety Brian Randolph's interception in the end zone on a fourth-and-goal from the 8-yard line with less than two minutes left to preserve a 31-24 win against South Alabama on Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
"Every win is a good win," first-year Tennessee coach Butch Jones said.
"We needed to get to victory No. 3," he added. "We got to victory No. 3. It was a difficult process, but we got there."
It appeared Tennessee reached that point after marching down the field behind plays of 22, 13, 12 and 17 yards on its opening second-half possession, which ended in a Rajion Neal touchdown run that made it 31-7.
Tennessee linebacker Brent Brewer intercepted a tipped pass on the Jaguars' ensuing series, and it looked as if the Vols could flip on cruise control and coast to the win. But then came an interception and long return the other way, and two plays later South Alabama scored to cut its deficit to 17 points and turned its next possession into a field goal.
Stuck in neutral, Tennessee's offense managed just 68 yards after its fourth touchdown, and the Jaguars pulled within a touchdown with less than nine minutes left in the game.
"I hate to say it, but I believe we did [relax]," Vols senior defensive end Corey Miller said. "At the same time, that's something we've got to work on as a team. That's going to go down this week: working on giving up and playing 60 minutes."
The Vols should have put the game away long before South Alabama, a program in its fifth year of existence and its first as a full-fledged Football Bowl Subdivision member, drove down the field late in the fourth quarter with a chance to tie or take the lead.
Marlin Lane's touchdown run five minutes into the second quarter gave Tennessee a 24-7 lead, but the Vols' next two possessions ended in Justin Worley interceptions. Tennessee was in position for a long field goal on the first one, but Worley's throw into triple coverage was nicely grabbed by a diving Qudarius Ford at the goal line.
The second pickoff, with less than 30 seconds left on the clock, came after Tennessee drove to South Alabama's 2-yard line.
"Looking back on it, we had some missed opportunities," Worley said after completing 20 of his 36 passes for 204 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. "I threw the interception in the end zone, also another interception in the end zone before that -- just missed out on some opportunities. We're trying to give them the game, and they made it a game.
"It was a little nerve-rattling knowing we might have to go down in a two-minute situation and score, but our defense had our back and they had a great stop."
South Alabama, which also missed a field-goal try on the third play of the fourth quarter, took advantage of two short fields, but the Jaguars ate up chunks of yardage on their final drive, which began with nearly eight minutes still on the clock. Quarterback Ross Matheny, who ran for 67 yards and two touchdowns, completed two third-down passes in the possession.
A big chunk of the announced crowd of 87,226 already had hit the exits by the time the Jaguars reached Tennessee's 6-yard line and the Vols' defensive front stepped up.
"It's now or never," Miller said of his unit's mentality. "You've got to make a play or this might get ugly."
Miller sacked Matheny on second down and forced a short throw that gained just 6 yards on third down, and freshman Corey Vereen, who made his college debut at Florida a week earlier, hit Matheny as he was throwing into the end zone.
Randolph was there waiting to catch Tennessee's third interception of the day.
"We just knew we had to make a play," he said.
The Vols made plenty of errors, too. They have turned the ball over nine times the past two games, and they were flagged eight times Saturday for 43 yards. South Alabama ate up yards on slant routes and crossing patterns, and Matheny generated some big plays with his running ability.
"You can never relax," Jones said. "Great learning point. It's obviously better to teach and correct with a victory, and our players understand and they know.
"We found a way to win, and to me that's one of the first steps of learning how to win is managing your adversities, being resilient, persevering and finding a way to win. You look at all the great teams: They find ways to win football games. Maybe you don't bring your A-game, but you find a way to win, and I'm proud of our kids."

Dr. Lineup: The Marlins, Royals, Cubs & Cards
Saturday March 31st, 2012
Jose Reyes leads the offensive threat for the Miami Marlins. (US Presswire)
Everyday regulars may only have a few at-bats during spring games, but reviewing the starting lineup can provide some keys to the lineup order come April. Looking for advantages on early season trends will likely help owners on draft day.
With the final games of spring training wrapping up, we get a glimpse of a few teams rolling out their Opening Day lineups.
Miami Marlins
For the first time this spring, the Marlins had their Opening Day lineup on display. Thanks to injuries and scheduling multiple games, the Marlins regular nine haven't played a single game together during the month of the March. In fact, this marked the first time this spring that Logan Morrison
and Giancarlo Stanton
were in the same lineup together.
The first thing that jumps out is Jose Reyes
hitting from the leadoff spot. As a fantasy owner and Marlins' fan, you've got to be excited at the possibility of Reyes stealing 40 bases, having a batting average close to .300, and scoring close to 100 runs. As it is with any player, health will play a major role with Reyes' production. However, a new stadium and a new team could bring big fantasy numbers.
Here's how the Marlins will likely look to open the 2012 season. As you can see, this lineup has a lot of potential, and they'll need it, as they play in a tough National League East division.
Kansas City Royals
After big years from Alex Gordon
and prospect Eric Hosmer
least season, the Royals look to take another step forward in 2012. Most of the lineup is the same from 2011, but there a few changes, especially with the emergence of outfielder Lorenzo Cain
and injury to catcher Salvador Perez.
Speaking of Lorenzo Cain, you have to like him as a fantasy "sleeper" to start the 2012 season. By now, many fantasy owners have either jumped on the Cain Train, or let someone else take a chance on him. For Cain, you should expect 20-30 stolen bases along with a decent batting average. As an added bonus, if the Royals continue to hit him in the No. 2 spot in the lineup, he could see 70-90 runs scored in 2012.
Here's how the Royals took the field against the White Sox on March 30. With the exception of second base and catcher (potential platoon positions), this is how the Royals could look on Opening Day.
Chicago Cubs
I've covered the Chicago Cubs earlier during a Dr. Lineup post, so I'll be brief with my comments here. Cubs manager Dale Sveum
revealed his Opening Day lineup earlier this week. It looks a lot like the suggested one I posted at the beginning of the month in March, but has a few exceptions.
The biggest impact from a fantasy standpoint is the value that Bryan LaHair
will have. LaHair, 29, has posted big power numbers in the minor leagues, but has only played in 65 career big-league games.
Here is what the Cubs will look like for their opener against the Washington Nationals on April 5.
St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals have used many different lineups this spring, but seem to have figured out a potential Opening Day lineup. The biggest question mark surrounds shortstop Rafael Furcal
and his horrible spring. The team will either bat him in the leadoff spot or from the No. 8 hole.
Tyler Greene
appears to be the favorite to start and be the everyday second baseman for the Cardinals in 2012. Greene, 28, is a career .218/.307/.313 hitter, but has only appeared in 150 big-league games. He's impressed the Cardinals this spring, posting a .349 on-base percentage with 5 stolen bases. In addition to Greene starting, the Cardinals could also use Daniel Descalso in some capicity in Furcal continues to struggle.
With the exception of a few changes, here's what the Cardinals' Opening Day lineup could look like when they take on the Miami Marlins.
These are just a few of the many storylines happening in spring training thus far. Be sure to check out all the lineups on Baseball Press and be sure to also check out our Lineup Application for Android phone users.

Things I liked:lightweight easy for youth to use. Reason for purchase was so youth could use at our 4H air pistol league. Works very well for that. I wish the PCP tank held more air but that would add weight so I'm happy as is. Very accurate. Simple to operate, left or right grip. Very nice. Things I would have changed:Not much unless you could get the price below 500 or include all the fittings to use scuba tank. What others should know:For the price best deal going. As accurate as a IZH but PCP and small grip ideal for youth. Things I liked:Quality fit and finish. Accuracy and trigger. This is the only real entry level 10 meter match pistol. Ridiculous value for the money when compared to other match pistols. Things I would have changed:Grips are ambi. Meaning the don't fit a lefty OR righty! Yuck. Nothing I can't fix with a dremel tool though. So maybe it's not a bad thing after all since it can be adapted to r or l hand. No palm shelf on grip. Would have been nice- What others should know:This should be your first serious competitive 10 meter pistol. I ordered the right handed adjustable palm shelf grips on back order. We will see how they do on the gun. Things I liked:I like very much its design, workmanship, extreme accuracy, balance and ergonomics. I consider it an entry level match grade air pistol. I appreciate that it comes with a spare set of O rings. Things I would have changed:I only can get 80 shots max out of it. I wish it could go to 100 shots out of the box. I know I can adjust the power level to achieve that capacity. I wish it came with a right hand wood grip. I had to modify (sandpaper) the ambidextrous grip slightly to fit my hand - middle finger. I wish it came with a hard side case. I had to purchase a quad pistol case. What others should know:I had a problem with air leaking from the brass adapter's relief hole. I could not fill it up to use it. I eventually was able to fix the leak by using a tiny amount of modeling clay. It took about a day of trial and error to find the solution. I would have returned the pistol if I did not fix this problem. I wish PyramydAir had replacement fill adapters available.

The shelves of Northshore Quality Produce overflow with all the in-season fixings a chef would need to create a healthy meal. Most of the potatoes, apples, tomatoes, and other fruits and veggies come straight from local farms, eliminating guesswork or French accents. In addition to the produce, the shop stocks refrigerated items—such as milk, juice, and salsa—and shelved foodstuffs, such as pita chips and crackers.
Shari Courtier and Scott Carpenter run Three Tree Wellness Center, a place that is part spa, part classroom, and part bodywork-supplies store. The staff nurtures mind, body, and spirit with spa services such as massages, which can incorporate reiki energy work, and mud wraps, which draw toxins from the skin while equipping it to someday sprout an apple tree. Art-therapy classes put students in touch with their inner power animal, and continuing-education classes keep massage therapists abreast of body mechanics and best practices. The retail portion of the center, SNL Supplies, hawks wares such as essential oils, shower gels, and candles.
When Jerrod Sessler was diagnosed with advanced-stage cancer in 1999, he found a link between his diet and his illness—and he sought the nutrients of organic produce to help him fight it. Sessler founded Freggies to offset the then-high prices and low availability of organic produce, and today, the company delivers Organic Trade Association–certified fruits and vegetables throughout the Seattle area. Participants can set up recurring deliveries of Freggies' latest harvest or create their own boxes from whatever produce is in season, from avocados, chard, and fennel, to coconuts, pears, and baby bok choy. Freggies also stocks dry goods such as dried fruit, citrus juice, and Natural Planet Organics dog food.

Legal DVD Playback Coming to Linux?
In a country where the legal system is based on precedents, a judge's recent decision just may make the use of Linux a whole lot easier.
From nearly the beginnings of entertainment DVDs, Linux users in certain countries either had to break the law to watch their legally obtained media on their computer, boot a Windows system, or not use them. Many chose to break the law and install decryption software. Perhaps those days are over.
Appeal Judge Garcia found that General Electric did not break the Digital Millennium Copyright Act by merely unlocking MGE UPS Systems' protection software in order to repair faulty power supplies. The judge wrote that the DMCA protects against infringement, not viewing or using. While these aren't DVDs with copyrighted movies or music, it still sets a precedent for legal fair use of DMCA protected products.
A test case would be very interesting, but now Linux users at least have a legal strategy if they are caught watching a legally purchased DVD. Copying and uploading for others to share is still quite illegal, but Linux users have always been angered by the the roadblocks keeping them from watching their own movies or listening to their own music. It's quite possible that this decision has begun to tear down that obstacle.
Unfortunately, at the same time Judge Garcia's decision was being read, the US Copyright Office weighed in on exemptions to the DMCA. On the subject of streaming and DVD content on Linux, it held up its earlier opinion that in the absence of a real problem Linux users should just get an alternative platform. In other words, there aren't enough Linux users to warrant any change in policy and the few there are should just buy a Windows PC.
The next question is will Linux developers wish to test the waters by including libdvdcss in their distributions? While the libdvdcss available for Linux systems has never been expressly challenged, its DeCSS-like decryption prevents many distributions from including it for fear of legal issues. One would hope that Garcia's decision will alleviate those fears, but given the Copyright Office's lack of exemption for Linux, it certainly looks like users will have to continue to install the needed decryption software themselves.
Susan Linton is a Linux writer and the owner of tuxmachines.org.
You are within your rights in the united states to make backups of legally purchased media since you are not infringing on any rights of the copyright holder. If in that backup process you are required to remove any protections on the media so be it. The RIAA folks could try and sue you in court over loss but they would have a hard time winning the case since the law is basically on your side at that point. I would argue that simply having the library on your computer would not put you in hot water anyway. The burden of proof becomes very extreme in any case that would ever be brought to you so just keep using libdvdcss to watch your movies and don't worry about it.
Lost Profits
The whole fair use issue goes well beyond the DMCA. For that reason I have not purchased anything but indy music now in approximately 10 years. They have lost thousands of dollars I would have otherwise given them. While I still buy movies on BR Ive slowly but surely been backing off on that too and will probably in the next year cease altogether. Again they will lose thousands or hundreds of dollars a year. No, I dont steal. Im not like these corporations that sale you product then steal its use from you. No, I just refuse to buy their products out right. While I may be one person I know dozens like myself and if I know dozens that means there are likely 1000s if not 10s of thousands. So to all you small minded execs your bottom line is shrinking due to your greed. Good luck with that.
A Permanently Lost Customer.
I agree, support the independents!!
The RIAA and MPAA (and publishing companies) provide VERY little to their clients as far as promotion and TAKE the lion share of any revenue surrounding the artist's work. This is WHY the independent markets are flourishing. The Internet makes for wide scale distribution mechanism with NO middleman. This often translates to more money going straight to the artist.
Copyright office
"and the few there are should just buy a Windows PC."
I didn't realize that the US Copyright office was a division of the MS marketing division.
You might be surprised
You might be surprised at how much influence Microsoft has within the US Government. See this previous LJ article for a discussion on this topic.
The Law.
HA HA Yea and we all know that Linux users have very strong morals when it comes to "obeying the law"...
The Law
That is true,
Linux users try not to use pirated Operating Systems and Games, whereas many Windows users pirate the OS, Games and other applications...
Much stronger morals than many Windows users.
"obeying the law"... yeah,
"obeying the law"... yeah, especially since they don't pirate their operating system.
So you're saying you never
So you're saying you never watched a legally purchased DVD on your Linux box before?
So you're saying you never
Why should I when I have a perfectly good DVD player hooked up to my TV, purchased for less than the price of a stick of RAM?
If you want to get picky, I will admit that I have at least once ran a stop sign in a deserted industrial area in the middle of the night, and I have occasionally exceeded the speed limit on the freeway (though rarely by much), but I suspect that you're going to have trouble proving any connection between Linux use and occasional mild flouting of traffic laws. :)
(I will also admit that I did once look into what it would take to install libdvdcss on my system, but it looked like more work than it was worth, especially given the legal risks.)
The REAL problem
"On the subject of streaming and DVD content on Linux, it held up its earlier opinion that in the absence of a real problem Linux users should just get an alternative platform."
In the absence of a real problem? I can't play my DVD that I purchased and that I own the right to view on my operating system. That qualifies as a real problem hence, Linux users should NOT just get an alternative platform. IMHO the U.S. Copyright Office just supported libdvdcss. Also that quote seems hypocritical since the "real problem" is an _almost_ universal scenario for Linux users so it seems that the case where they suggest getting an alternative platform does not exist.
The law was not designed to
The law was not designed to protect the masses. It was designed to protect the few--and in this case Linux is the few.
Already Included
Sabayon has been shipping it libdvdcss for a very long time. Granted, it's an Italian based project and you only need to know whose palm to grease to get out of anything there, but still.
That's totally gratuitous: Italy may be the birth place of Mafia, but that doesn't mean that law is not upheld or that corruption is everywhere. The World knows so well about Italian political corruption of the First Republic because it was shouted about for political gain of some parties. Other countries have similar or much worse corruption. Isn't all the lobbying going on in the US Senate a form of corruption? What about million-dollars donations for US Presidency campaigns? It's always do ut des="I give so that you will give".
fluendo.com has had legal dvd playing for a while
legal yes... but limited and poor
Fluendo pays the legal money to distribute a limited DVD (only) player... you can also get a legal mp3 player from fluendo. But it's VERY limited and not of very good quality. IMHO, it's a testimony to the quality of open source players and decryption libraries.
So... while fluendo's DVD player is nice in a way .. in that it is the first legal DVD player built for Linux distros... it DOES cost money and the quality simply isn't there.
Why is the Fluendo DVD player bad quality ?
We have happy customers. It is spartan in its UI, but our customers are happy with the quality and we have a really high-quality surround sound implementation.
So much for choice.
"...it held up its earlier opinion that in the absence of a real problem Linux users should just get an alternative platform. In other words, there aren't enough Linux users to warrant any change in policy and the few there are should just buy a Windows PC."
And the Government should just bail me out there and buy me a Windows PC. Really? What about freedom of choice?
This administration is turning into more of a socialist dictatorship every day.
quote::And the Government should just bail me out there and buy me a Windows PC. Really? What about freedom of choice?
This administration is turning into more of a socialist dictatorship every day.::quote
You really have no idea what Socialism is. If you did you would not compare the US Government and it's agencies with Socialism.
The US and it's institutions are based on 18th Century Merchantilism, what we are see here is the exact oposite of Socialism, the extreme of the assumtion that what's good for the wealthy Elite, the Industrialists the Mechants and the Landowners is necessarily good for the rest of Sociaety.
Obvious Windows User
I guess the new "health care bill" that established 100+ new bureaucracies hearkens back to "18th century merchantilism." Next time you regurgitate some intelligible nonsense from your Marxist college professor you might want to read a little about the founding of our country before you reveal your ignorance. As an apparent windows user who likes to be told what you can and cannot do, you obviously have no concept of free markets, personal property rights, and wealth creation. If I legally purchase a DVD or CD the government should have no right to tell what hardware or software I can play my media on.
Ah the insult, how will I ever recover
Quote:: I guess the new "health care bill" that established 100+ new bureaucracies hearkens back to "18th century merchantilism." ::quote
Well no, but I'd hardly call Your version of Healthcare Socialist, by any stretch of the imagination, in spite of the burgeoning bureaucracies. But we'll ignore this little red herring, and respond to the remainder.
Quote::Next time you regurgitate some intelligible nonsense from your Marxist college professor::quote
I don't know any, perhaps you can introduce me to one or two.
quote:: you might want to read a little about the founding of our country before you reveal your ignorance. ::quote
I could say the same of you, perhaps you should actually read your own history, including the life and times of your own "founding fathers"... Blessed be their names amen...(that was sarcasm)

Love this little red herring.

Finally a statement (not an argument, as you clearly don't know how to make one)t that actually makes sense, and...... we agree. Boom Boom.
This isn't meant to be an inflammatory question, but I had this same argument last week. Is it possible the American public generally are getting their understanding of the word Socialism from the translation of Nazi (National Socialism), or perhaps from a skewed Fox News usage of the word? If so, this is kind of the opposite of the ideal, which is generally left wing, not right.
Don't mean to start an argument or offend here (please keep on libdvdcss), but that's two US Americans I've come across in as many weeks who've said that - perhaps the semantics have changed in that country, and have gone on to a different usage than others?

Socialism and libdvdcss
Socialism is a word, a single word, as is capitalism, mercantilism, communism and a host of other words. A reading of the wikipedia entry on Socialism should dispel most notions that the idea and its implementation are simple to do or even understand.
The entry is merely a starting point, not something to accept or reject without further research.
Also, societies evolve, for better or worse.
Now, regarding using libdvdcss to watch DVDs I have legally purchased or rented; ABSOLUTELY.
No argument there.
No argument there.

> This administration is turning into more of
> a socialist dictatorship every day.
I don't really think this is the Administration's doing (or not doing). We have the House and the Senate that made the rule to begin with, and these recent openings (changes to the DMCA) are from the Library of Congress; neither is controlled by this, or previous, Presidents.
DMCA: Bad law? Yes. Obama's fault? Not even kinda.
And then again
"[...] Linux users have always been angered by the the roadblocks keeping them from watching their own movies or listening to their own music."
Some of us take pleasure in going out of our way to watch legally-obtained DVD and music media on our Linux boxes. My linux-based home entertainment system being one example of this...
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Accelgor: -Didn't get anything from BW2 so it hasn't changed much. -Make mention of it outspeeding Tornadus-t. -If it's in the rain it doesn't need to worry about Thunder waves slowing it down thanks to hydration. -make hydration the main slash OU worthy: Yes Revamp: No Breloom: -A SD technician set needs to be added. -Add a Choice Band technician set. -Poison Heal > technician on all sets but SD and Choice -Jolly should be the main nature on the SD set because if you hit tornadus-t on the switch with Low Sweep you outspeed it and 2hko it with the speed drop. -Mention that Bullet Seed is stronger than Seed Bomb with technician. -Remove the Sub Seed set. -Add a spore + 3 attack set -List the sets in this order: Spore + 3 Attack / Choice Band / SD LO / Sub Punch / Bulk Up OU worthy: Yes Revamp: Yes Conkeldurr: -The only notable thing he got was Ice Punch. -Ice Punch should be slashed first on the Bulk Up, payback second. Stone Edge slash should be removed. -Ice Punch should be slashed with Payback and Facade on the status orb set. -Ice Punch > Stone Edge on the Choice Band set. -Ice Punch should be slashed with Payback on the Substitute+Focus Punch set.

OU worthy: Yes Revamp: No Ludicolo: -Scrap this analysis, it's not good in OU.

OU worthy: No Revamp: No Reuniclus: -Gained nothing significant from BW2 -The trick set should be removed and put in Other Options, it's not good in practice. -Mention that as a last resort the trick room set can take a LO hurricane / thunder from Tornadus-t / Thundurus-t then set up a TR and OHKO them in return with SR support. OU worthy: Yes Revamp: No Scolipede: -A fast spiker (tspikes AND spikes) -Remove the Swords Dance set, the only decent set is the spiker set. -Slash Focus Sash with Life Orb on the Support set. OU worthy: Yes Revamp: No Spiritomb: -Everything it does is outclasses by something else. OU worthy: No Revamp: Delete it Tornadus-I: -Losing a lot of usage because of Tornadus-t, but still a strong mon. -Mention some things in the analysis that it has over Tornadus-t such as being able to set up Tailwind, rain dance and Taunt. -Mention that it's stronger than Tornadus-t, but slightly less bulky. -Make acrobatics the first set since the hurricane version is pretty much outclassed by tornadus-t. -Mention that it's a decent Breloom check. OU worthy: Yes Revamp: No Volcarona: -Gained Roost from BW2 which is awesome. -Also got giga drain but that's much less awesome and only deserves AC mentions. -Slash Roost in front of morning sun on the bulky quiver dance set and slash it with Substitute on the drizzle set. -List the Offensive Quiver Dance set first and the Drizzle set second. -Mention that roost is a more reliable recovery than morning sun. -Slash HP Ground before HP Rock and Fire Blast before Fiery Dance on the Offensive Quiver Dance set. -Mention that HP Ground OHKOs terrakion at +1 with LO, and that Fire blast ohkos Dnite with LO at +1 in the sun. -change the bulky quiver dance evs to 60 Speed so you can outspeed tornadus-t at +1. OU worthy: Yes Revamp: No
That's a lot to mention on Volcarona, don't you think? I think it needs a revamp; it just got tons of new counters but a good deal of new viable options. Also the fact that it can function on either the new-and-even-more-powerful Rain teams as well as on the still-good Sun teams makes me think that it could use an update. I mean, that's a lot of slashes and new mentions...
Breloom SubSeed is still a very powerful set and a more defensive Breloom is useful in checking Landorus-T. I would keep it despite its rare us in OU. Ludicolo SubSeed is a great way to counter rain teams, that 4x resist to water is really good. TBH I think Swift Swim Ludicolo has seem some usage now in order to counter-team offensive rain teams. Ludicolo is good to use in OU but his role is really really limited. Dugtrio I would also mention that now it is outsped by Tornadus-T. Conkeldurr Slash Ice Punch first? No way! Ice Punch really only hits Gliscor and means you will be walled hard by Jellicent, Tentacruel, and Slowbro. Conkeldurr was such a great fighting-type because it could beat Jellicent 1 vs 1 by absorbing the burns it always throws out. Same for putting Tentacruel in a tough spot, since if it wants to kill, it has to risk the Scald burn while getting smashed by Payback. Payback should be the first slash. TBH I think Payback is staple on BU sets. In a sense Payback is more useful now since more teams incorporate Jellicent to check Keldeo. IMO using Ice Punch really only finds a home on the CB and Orb sets. It should be Facade vs Ice Punch on the Status Orb set, since that comes down to hitting Reuniclus or Gliscor harder. Definitely Ice Punch>Stone Edge on CB. Lastly, using Fire Punch to kill Ferrothorn is kinda stupid since you hurt yourself with Iron Barbs rather than using it to heal massive amounts of health with Drain Punch. Scizor is in a similar boat. IMHO Thunder Punch deserves a much stronger OO mention than Fire Punch since it is Conkeldurr's strongest move against Slowbro. Reuniclus Yes! please remove that Flame Orb set it is garbage Everything else I pretty much agree with.
If I'm not mistaken, the original Tornadus also got heatwave, superpower, and sleep talk. Superpower might be notable because it competes with focus blast. I don't know if that warrants a rewrite though.
A few things: Accelgor: ...and do what? I guess you could Final Gambit it if you're at full health or something, but otherwise Accelgor really can't do much to Tornadus-T as well. - I'd also suggest scrapping the offensive set, but I'll want other input into that. It just seems very underwhelming. Breloom: - Mention a bulky spread and Leftovers for SD Breloom - I'd say for SD, just make it a general SD set with Spore / SD / Mach Punch / Bullet Seed, you pick which spread you want for the standard, and have a significant mention in AC about the other. The bulky spread I've been thinking of is 232 HP / 252 Atk / 24 Spe Adamant. It makes switching into rain attacks a hell of a lot easier. I've even taken attacks like +0 Outrage from Haxorus (I think it was Haxorus) with this spread and put it to sleep in a clutch. Jolteon: - I agree with the boosting set being scrapped, but not SubPass. I have been using Substitute + Baton Pass ever since this new metagame started and it is brilliant. There are so many things you can force out with Jolteon so setting up a Sub is easy. You can either just sweep crappily made rain teams with Thunderbolt and HP Ice alone, or if you meet a hurdle like Gastrodon, just Baton Pass the Sub to another sweeper, like your Dragonite or something. SubPass is definitely worth keeping. Volcarona: - Fire Blast > Fiery Dance on the Offensive set. Yes, I know the arguments for Fiery Dance > Fire Blast, and I'm going to dispell them: 1) Fiery Dance is more accurate and reliable. Yes it's more accurate. It however, is not more reliable. Case in point: In the sun, with LO and a Modest nature, you OHKO Dragonite after SR. Now, what do you think is better here? An 85% chance to beat said "counter", or a 0% one? On an offensive set, you are aiming to be as powerful as possible as quickly as possible, and Fiery Dance is just too weak on such a set. That Dragonite is just one example, but you get the picture - You need Fire Blast to get certain OHKOs that Fiery Dance will never get, and on an offensive set, this is ideal. 2) Fiery Dance is as powerful as Fire Blast at +2 - Actually, it isn't. If you go do some calcs, you'll realise that +2 Fiery Dance is still not as powerful as +1 Fire Blast (even though the difference is tiny). So that means after 2 turns, you won't have done as much damage as you would have if you just use Fire Blast twice. On an offensive set, who is going to give you the luxury of 2 turns? Also, this is assuming that you get the +1 SpA from Fiery Dance, which is 50% of the time. Someone want to call Fire Blast out on being unreliable now?
@jelly0s, it's just putting roost > morning sun on most sets and a few changes in movesets. @Doughboy, Ice Punch hits gliscor, dragons, Landorus, thundurus and tornadus. Payback hits psychic and ghost types who can be trapped and killed anyway. Ice Punch also hits way more common pokes in the current metagame. Either way, they're both effective and it really comes down to preference / what your team is weak to. If a Landorus-t is running full offense, you shouldn't be using Breloom to counter it anyway. It's not bulky enough. The general consensus that i've gotten when asking around with Ludicolo is that it's bad (i agree). @shrang, I put the sub pass set back on and I said Fire blast > fiery dance in my post. I think a bulky SD loom deserves an AC or OO mention at best.
Breloom imo all Breloom sets with Poison Heal should be relegated to OO mentions, since there's really no reason to use Breloom without Technician. I don't even see Bulk Up being all that useful for countering Volt-Turn teams anymore, with Tornadus-T added to the mix. ======================== Tornadus-I needs a re-vamp imo, simply because Tornadus-T exists and the analysis should do a thorough job in differentiating the two.
Really? Do you not remember how annoying Breloom was before Technician was released? If your team is not in need so much of a priority abuser, but perhaps instead a more durable status absorber, then poison heal breloom is still a decent choice. It's almost like a different pokemon, and I think it was decided that outclassed pokemon could still get an analysis provided that they are viable. Poison Heal Breloom is not even outclassed.
Having written it in the beginning of BW, I'd be willing to revamp the Milotic analysis! I think Recover + Dragon Tail is better than Sleep Talk! I'd very much recommend a Calm nature over a bold nature as well. Either 252 HP/252 Special Defense or 252 HP/240 Defense/16 Special Defense work better.
Basically what jc said. I'm surprised Pocket. Breloom is still a little fucker with Spore on Poison Heal sets. And still, very few things wanna switch into its Focus Punch. Breloom got a great upgrade, but I don't see how Poison Heal Breloom is even vaguely unworthy.
Poison Heal sets are still worth being played. I noticed that the presence of Technician Mach Punch scares a lot of people and they try to avoid the potential revenge kill by switching to a possible 'counter'. Poison Heal Breloom can effectively abuse this fact and setup on its own quite easily with Substitute and Spore. I tested so many variations and two came up out of all: 1. Technician with Mach Punch 2. Poison Heal with Spore and Substitute One can run very different sets and EVs on these sets but these two are the main cores of each possible Breloom set. Seriously, the Bulk Up set can't hold its own anymore..
Minor note on Gyarados - first and second set should sacrifice 8 Atk EVs to Spe. This will allow Gyarados to outspeed Tornadus-T in the rain after a Dragon Dance. I personally found this pretty useful when tackling Rain Dance teams.
Double post but I'm Colonel M. Gyarados's sets should probably be re-ordered, and I've been thinking about testing out some different things with the other sets (for example, I think Lum Berry could be used in Taunt Gyarados to deter the Scalds, but I think this one is a lot more doomed versus bulky Water-types in general). The set order IMO should be: SubDD > Offensive DD > Bulky DD > Bulky Support > Choice Scarf > Choice Band > RestTalk Bulky Support could possibly be argued over Bulky DD (IMO Taunt with Dragon Dance is good, but SubDD does better against bulky Water-types not named Protect Politoed / Vaporeon), but I think RestTalk is OO material in this generation with sleep's awkward mechanics. It's up to QC really. Also Lum really needs to go on Offensive Gyarados and Jolly should be the nature of choice. Nothing is more annoying than being slower than Jolteon this generation, who is quite common enough in OU to wreck your sweep. Also will agree with the ginganinja post that's coming up.
Righto I agree with the set order that Colonial M posted so fully support that Also want to recommend Outrage at least getting a mention on CB Gyarados. I gave it a test in BW 1, and while I got teased a lot, it was nice for a solid 60% chance of a OHKO on Scarf Rotom W after SR, as well as 2KOing Jellicent (CB EQ maxs out at 47%). It had nice neutral coverage, and was nice to hit Dragonite / Latias / Haxorus etc all on the switch which was useful on occasion.

What the F$%#
Former Bangor man killed in Arizona Christmas party shooting — Nation — Bangor Daily News — BDN Maine
Friend of mine from high school was at a Christmas party and got shot and killed by some idiot kid that was kicked out of the party. Fucking 18 yo kid showed up twice, got kicked out twice, then showed up drunk a third time and fired 8 shots around a corner into the small crowd of kids (15 or so). Hit my buddy in the neck... Furthermore, this happened yesterday, and some people in my hometown have already turned it into a gun debate... 24 fucking hours later! The parents don't even have his body back in Maine yet... What is the world coming to when a homie gets shot in the neck at a Christmas party? What the fuck?!?! |

Yeah, the shooter was arrested and charged with 1st degree murder.
I just can't believe the uproar in the community about gun laws. If you look at the comments on the news article, there are maybe 3 posts giving condolences to the family and friends, and 97 about gun law debates... |

Glucose Screening
The Bella Hearst Diabetes Institute offers free blood glucose testing for students of Western Illinois University, as well as the Macomb Community. The event is held twice each year; in March to recognize National Nutrition month and in November to recognize National Diabetes Awareness.
Students from the Kinesiology and Dietetics programs are trained to administer the blood glucose testing. Students from Health Sciences offer educational materials as well as a presentation about diabetes.
