Richard Stallman talks about GNU's 25th anniversary, Google Chrome, sharing non-free software, preinstalled GNU/Linux on pc, NDA, OLPC XO
Qui in Italiano. | Aqui em Português | Русский
Q: Mr. Stallman, GNU project is 25 years-old. Our readers generally well know its history. You wrote: "The free world is the new continent in cyberspace". In 1983, did you imagine this continent would grow so much? What are the most important goals for Free software movement today?
RMS: In 1983 I did not try to envision what would happen beyond completing the GNU system. I thought carefully about the major hurdles for developing the system, but I did not try to anticipate what would happen after that, such as the obstacles that proprietary software companies would put in our path, or that we would start to influence the laws of some countries. I also never imagined that someone else would add the last piece and most people would give him credit for the whole thing.
Today GNU/Linux is a complete free operating system, but there are thousands of different "distributions" of GNU/Linux, and most of them are not free: they include or steer people towards non-free programs. As a result, most of the users of GNU/Linux have not entirely reached the free world. Most of them are not trying to reach the free world, and do not even know it exists: no one has ever suggested to them that there is an issue of freedom at stake. That's because most discussion of the GNU/Linux system doesn't talk about freedom. The corporations involved with GNU/Linux prefer to talk about practical advantages rather than ethics. Many of them use the term "open source", which was promoted as a way of avoiding the issues of users' freedom. (See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html.)
Q: Some GNU/Linux and free software fans think that non authorized copies of proprietary software (that are widely used in our country, Italy) are a brake on free software spread. So, when police punish who uses non authorized copies, fans are happy. They think: "Ok, 'cracked' Microsoft Windows users will install free software now". Are these fans in right or not?
RMS: At the tactical level, their conclusion is logical: if it were more difficult to copy Windows, it would be more expensive to use, and the price would send some users towards GNU/Linux and other free systems.
If just increasing the usage of these systems were our ultimate goal,it would be rational to applaud the repression of sharing of non-free software.
But that kind of thinking is amoral. We must not applaud an act of repression, even if we think that it will backfire and drive people to rebel.
The basic idea of the free software movement is that stopping people from sharing and changing software is an injustice. When the police punish people for sharing, they commit an injustice. We must not call this a good thing!
If you can succeed in copying Windows, that does not mean it is effectively like free software. You still don't have the source code, so you cannot change it. You cannot eliminate its malicious features. (We know about surveillance, restriction of the user, and even back doors, and there might be more that we don't know about.)
We must not applaud repression, but we can talk about it. When police punish people for sharing, we should tell the public, "Watch out - if you use forbidden copies of Windows, Microsoft's bullies may catch you and attack you. Escape from Windows, escape from MacOS, escape from non-free software, and join us in the Free World!"
Q: Some days ago, Google released a web browser called Google Chrome. Its source code is free software [here the license] but the binaries are under a restrictive license. Electronic Frontier Foundation talked about privacy dangers using Chrome. What's your opinion?
RMS: The license for those binaries is unacceptable for several reasons.
For instance, it says you give Google the right to change your software and requires you to accept whatever changes they decide to impose. It purports to forbid reverse engineering. It also uses the confusing and biased propaganda term "intellectual property". (See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.html for why this term should never be used.)
You should not agree to those terms.
Google is following the footsteps of Firefox. Firefox has done this since it first appeared: the source code is free, but the binaries released by the Mozilla Foundation carry an unacceptable EULA.
Q: Will GNU project release a fully free browser based on chromium.org source code? (like IceCat is based on Mozilla Firefox code). If not, do you think that a fully free version of Chrome should be a good thing?
RMS: I hope someone will distribute free binaries made from the Chrome sources. People have done that for Firefox for years. It doesn't need to be the GNU Project.
The reason we developed GNU IceCat from Firefox is more specific. The free Firefox variants released by others, with names such as IceWeasel and BurningDog, already avoid the EULA for Firefox binaries. But Firefox has another problem: it offers non-free plug-ins for installation. Our principles say we must not offer or recommend non-free software. We developed IceCat to offer only the free plug-ins and not mention non-free ones.
I do not know whether Chrome has this kind of problem.
Q: Google appears to be a "double-face" company. It helps free software community and developers (Google code, donations, etc.) but doesn't approve GNU Affero GPL and uses end-user agreements that are problematic with privacy. What is your point of view on Google?
RMS: Google does things which are good, things which are neutral, and things which are bad.
Google distributes non-free programs, including the Google Earth client, and the Javascript programs used for Google Docs and some other services. This is definitely bad.
I think it is most useful to judge these separate activities separately, in the case Google or any other company whose activities include good and bad.
Q: Some hardware manufacturers are moving to free-as-in-freedom hardware driver (i.e. Atheros has its "official" free driver for GNU/Linux now). Is this a victory of the free software movement?
RMS: This is an important step forward. I do not know to what extent the free software movement can claim responsibility for it.
Q: What do you think about "Position Statement on Linux Kernel Modules" signed by several Linux, the kernel, developers?
RMS: I don't know anything about that.
Q. And about Non Disclosure Agreements on hardware? A driver developer could sign a NDA on hardware specifics if it allows him to write a free software driver?
RMS: In that specific case, I think it is a justifiable minor evil, since releasing the free driver gives the public the information about that hardware that we really need. In effect, the minor evil is used to do good which mostly erases the consequences of the evil.
Q. Some pc manufacturers sold their computers with a GNU/Linux system preinstalled in the "mass market". Is this a good thing?
RMS: It is a step in the right direction, but these preinstalled GNU/Linux systems are not free. They contain proprietary programs. Some of these systems will not even start until the user agrees to an EULA for the non-free software. You should not agree to that EULA.
It is much less bad to get a machine with a preinstalled non-free GNU/Linux system than a machine with preinstalled non-free Windows or MacOS. But you should not actually use these non-free systems. Install an entirely free GNU/Linux system on the machine, and use it that way.
Q: I know you have a OLPC XO.
RMS: The XO was inconvenient in several ways, but I switched to it anyway because it has a free BIOS. At the time I made the decision, every other laptop had a proprietary BIOS, and I was willing to accept some
practical trouble to escape from that. But just as I was finishing the move to the XO, Negroponte was announcing that future versions of the XO would be designed to run Windows. As a result, I felt obliged to explain to everyone who saw the XO that I did not endorse the OLPC project.
The following month, I found out about a Chinese company, Lemote, which makes machines that have no non-free software (as far as we can tell) and which Windows does not support.
So now I am using a Lemote machine. It is a prototype and has some inconveniences, but I am not ashamed to promote it.
Q: Some of them, like Dell and Asus, invite users to "upgrade" to MS Windows XP...
RMS: Do they really say that? How sad. And the OLPC also will be easy to "upgrade" to Windows. I expect that Microsoft will make it easy for kids to obtain copies to put in their XOs.
Q: The last question. It is technical but also a bit philosophical. I tried to remove some GNU components from my GNU/Linux system. It was a very bad idea! In example, if I remove glibc (aka libc6), this is destructive than "rm -rf /".
RMS: That's a bit of an exaggeration: if you delete all the files on your machine, one of the files you delete will be glibc.
Q: Ok, but if I remove glibc by my package manager (APT), all the system will be removed, because all packages (except some non-software packages) are dependent by glibc, because it is the main library in GNU/* systems, like others libc are main libraries in other Unix-like systems. Because glibc is a main component of the system, and glibc is GNU software, then I think that "GNU/Linux" name is correct for technical reasons as well as historical reasons.
RMS: I agree with that statement, but I would not base the whole argument on glibc.
There are a lot of important GNU packages in GNU/Linux.
Q. In other words, is a GNU/Linux system a GNU system that runs on the top of Linux, the kernel?
RMS: That's what it basically is. Of course, nowadays there are thousands of other programs contributed by thousands of developers, and I don't want to fail to acknowledge the importance of their contributions.
Q. So, the question is: despite the evidence, why some people are not agree when you call "GNU/Linux" the whole system ?
RMS: It's not rational. People learn to call the system "Linux", and construct their picture of the system and its history from that. It is a mistaken picture, but people cling to it, and invent reasons to justify it. See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html for a long list of the reasons people have invented, and responses.

RMS: "I also never imagined that someone else would add the last piece and most people would give him credit for the whole thing."
Richard, you could well do with forgetting all this "credit" stuff, and be happy that someone did provide a kernel that GNU could run on, otherwise we would be stuck with GNU tools on proprietary Unix systems only.
It matters little that the vast majority of the public/media call it Linux, what matters if that your dream of a free software eco-system is becoming a reality. Those of us in the "business" know that a Linux system has at it's core the Linux kernel, but above that there is a lot of GNU, so for me it matters not a whit that the system is called Linux, all that matters is it is free, and not proprietary.

Mr. Stalman,
I fully agree that we should share source code and respect the freedom of all. That the essence of science and knowledge. But what can we do if we need to have access to multimedia content that is in a "proprietary format" ? If one want to have a workable access to the web, he needs to be able to have flash, multimedia codec, real player, and so on… I do support OSS but should I alien myself a very big part of the net to stay "free" ?
What one can do about it until we reach total freedom ?
Bernard Tremblay
NB: This message was written from Firefox by agreeing to a very bad EULA…

"….. I found out about a Chinese company, Lemote, which makes machines that have no non-free software (as far as we can tell) and which Windows does not support."
I agree in using a computer that supports free software, especially from the BIOS up. However, I have to disagree in supporting a Chinese company based on human-rights issues alone. That is NOT supporting freedom. Part of any $ that goes to those companies, goes to the Chinese Government, and in turn supports the PLA doctrine.
10 aprile 2011 alle 16:33 | #6|
They were using coreboot, which could be ported to to say a lenevo laptop, but you're still supporting Chinese companies as much the the raw materials, especially rare-earths are coming out of china.
And please keep in mind that Chinese companies, and Chinese people =/= the Chinese government, the true perpetrator of the human rights violation.

The nice news is that Firefox is abandoning its EULA completely, see e.g. "Mozilla to remove Firefox EULA",

Stallman's speech should be considered not "as is without warranties" I think.
Otherwise you couldn't listen to mp3, downloaded from your p2p, watch video on youtube, since it's not free software etc…All he wants – I hope – is to increment FS and to prevent not-FS.

@John Allen: My take is that calling it GNU/Linux rather than just Linux has a purpose beyond personal credit. GNU software, while immensely valuable, is not the greatest value that has come from GNU, or the FSF. The greatest value is the uncompromising, well and correctly thought out reasoning and stance behind software freedom. Emphasizing GNU may help people towards an investigation of the ethics espoused by GNU. For this reason, if not out of respect for the authors wishes, I always use the term GNU/Linux.

Well, how much of that stuff do you really need? How much of that stuff actually provides you with useful information? Mostly, the "multimedia content" is a waste of time, IMHO. I use the net mainly to read, not to watch video or listen to music. My main computer runs linux on amd64 and thus doesn't have flash, and I couldn't care less, even though my young daughter wishes it could play flash-based games.
GNU/Linux is empowering. It gives you real control of your computers, and provides you with everything you need to do important things with them. You can write software, set up databases, serve files/mail/html – all the things you cannot readily do as a computer-as-appliance "end user" in the Windows world.
Do not buy into the "end user" mentality. It is a waste to simply view your computer as an entertainment device. I don't keep a television in my office – why should it worry me if my computer won't display YouTube? I get more entertainment from gcc, anyway.
19 settembre 2008 alle 17:39 | #13|
P.S. – one more thing.
Don't get the idea that I am opposed to using computers for music and graphics – just that most of the "multimedia content" accessed through the web is about as useful as TV commercials and mass-market TV programming.
GNU/Linux gives you everything you need to maintain your own digital music and photography libraries, completely with free software. I rip all my CDs to ogg vorbis files, and keep it stored redundantly without need for any proprietary software bits.
(My only compromise relates to the lack of ogg support on most portable music players, so I need to transcode the files to mp3 format if I want to put them on my iPod. This can be done with Free software, but the involved software is likely patent-encumbered. And of course, the iPod itself is a closed, proprietary product. I would love to have an iPod equivalent that plays oggs and only uses Free software).

I believe that the GNU/Linux argument is entirely justified. However, I nevertheless think that it should only ever be brought up when countering misinformation or untruths. For example, this interview approached the subject towards the end, which is completely acceptable, however RMS's less than subtle mention in the first answer irked me a little.
Such unsolicited talk is also present in the Happy Birthday to GNU video with Stephen Fry, the message of which is completely controlled by the FSF and therefore can say "GNU slash Linux" or "GNU Linux" or "GNU plus Linux" as much as is desired with no mention of "Open Source" or a "Linux operating system", so there's no need for any clarification. Such things do one of three things:
To people who don't know anything about it, there is massive confusion as they are given a 'clarification' for something they don't even know. Introduce them to "GNU Linux" and they may give it a try, but trying to change beliefs they don't even have is damaging and alienating.
To people who do know of Linux but think of it as an OS, there is little to be gained by telling them they are wrong other than, once again, alienation. Saying "GNU Linux" is enough to interest those who would be persuaded by the current tactics, and perhaps a completely neutral history such as "GNU made an operating system but the kernel was flawed, thus the Linux kernel was relicensed as Free Software and is now used by most GNU users" or words to that effect. Being condescending doesn't help anybody.
To people who know the argument but don't particularly care, their view of the FSF goes down.
To people who know the argument and refer to GNU as GNU, this is preaching to the converted.
To people who know GNU or GNU/Linux but not the argument, there is nothing to be gained except for perhaps looking petty.
In other words, there is no use case for preaching, although I do agree with correction. The same applies to other incorrect labels like "pirate" instead of "infringe copyright", there's no need to bring it up in a conversation where it is not relevant.
Personally I try to avoid the whole issue by using phrases like "Free Software operating system", just because I don't want either side to jump down my throat over incorrect terminology.

Using flash is not just about entertainment anymore. There are plenty of business websites that use flash for other purposes and some are simply not usable without it. So while it would be nice to be able to use only free software and free codecs, it is simply not practical for all people. And gnash doesn't presently work well enough to be useful in this case.

• Inviting too many guests for the budget: When you set your budget, make sure that it will be enough to cover what you are planning. You do not want to have to extend your budget later because you have invited too many people.
• Having too large of a Wedding Party: Bridesmaids, Groomsmen, MC's… and the list goes on. Couples have a tendency to try and include everyone, but it is not cost effective and it becomes a job to have to manage all the people involved. It is best to keep the wedding party to a size that is manageable. -

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. However just imagine if you added some great pictures or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this website could definitely be one of the very best in its niche. Excellent blog!
Cool blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your theme. With thanks
Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using?
I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Safari. I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Kudos
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a lot of exclusive content I've

content from being stolen? I'd genuinely appreciate it.
Have you ever thought about creating an e-book or guest authoring on other sites? I have a blog centered on the same subjects you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my visitors would appreciate your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e mail.
Hi there! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to give it a look. I'm definitely loving the information.
I'm bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Terrific blog and terrific design and style.
Superb blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own
blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm completely confused .
. Any recommendations? Thanks a lot!
My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress
on various websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into
it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
Does your blog have a contact page? I'm having problems locating it but, I'd like to send you
an e-mail. I've got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.
It's a shame you don't have a donate button! I'd most certainly
donate to this brilliant blog! I suppose for now i'll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to new updates and will talk about this site with my Facebook group. Talk soon!
Greetings from Ohio! I'm bored to tears at work
so I decided to browse your site on my iphone during lunch break.
I really like the info you provide here and can't wait to take a look when I get home. I'm shocked
at how fast your blog loaded on my cell phone .. I'm not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, fantastic site!
Good day! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My site addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Awesome blog by the way!
At this time it sounds like WordPress is the top blogging platform out there right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?
Terrific post but I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more on this subject? I'd be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit more.Thank you!
Hi there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was
wondering if you knew where I could find a captcha plugin for my comment form?
I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having difficulty finding one?
Thanks a lot!
When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the
same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?Thanks!
Greetings! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a collection of
volunteers and starting a new initiative in a community in the same niche.
Your blog provided us useful information to work on.
You have done a extraordinary job!
Greetings! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering
which blog platform are you using for this site? I'm getting tired of WordPress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Good day! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this page to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it's driving me mad so any help is very much appreciated.This design is spectacular! You most certainly know how to keep a reader
amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well,
almost…HaHa!) Great job. I really enjoyed what you had to
say, and more than that, how you presented
it. Too cool!
I'm truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It's a very easy on the
eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often.
Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Excellent
Hello there! I could have sworn I've been to this blog before but after checking through some of the post I realized it's new to me.
Nonetheless, I'm definitely happy I found it and I'll be book-marking and checking
back frequently!
Howdy! Would you mind if I share your blog with my
zynga group? There's a lot of folks that I think would really appreciate your content. Please let me know. Many thanks
Hi, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, very good blog!
Sweet blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I've been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
Appreciate it

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it

to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside
and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!

What you published was very logical. But, what about this?
suppose you added a little information? I ain't saying your content isn't good.
, however suppose you added a headline to maybe get people's attention? I mean Richard Stallman talks about GNU�s 25th anniversary, Google Chrome, sharing non-free software, preinstalled GNU/Linux on pc, NDA, OLPC XO | Guiodic Blog is kinda boring. You should peek at Yahoo's front page and note how they
write news headlines to get people to click. You might add a related video or a

When a Jewish Kibbutz Neighbors an Arab Village: 50 Years of Cooperation in Israel
by Bethany Firnhaber, Rosalina Nieves, and Robyn Carolyn Price
The relationship between Arabs and Jews in Israel has been strained by failed peace agreements, suicide bombings, and the construction of a separation wall — all which have fostered fear and anger on both sides.
Since Israel became a state in 1948, the road to peaceful coexistence has been, as many people in the region describe it, complicated. Somewhere in the midst of the conflict, however, are two communities — one Arab and one Jewish — that for years have shared a well, harvested crops together, and attended each others' weddings and funerals.
Kibbutz Mezer, a collective Jewish community, and the Arab village Meiser are located less than a half-mile from each other and from the "green line" border with the West Bank.
Their relationship began in the early '50s when Kibbutz Mezer was established. Unable to find a viable water source of their own, the new kibbutz relied on the generosity of its Arab neighbors, who allowed them to share their own small well. In gratitude, Kibbutz Mezer shared with Meiser tips for navigating the new Israeli bureaucracy.
Both communities say that, in time, respect and even friendships grew. And not even the murder of a family at the kibbutz by a Palestinian extremist on November 10, 2002 could dismantle the peaceful relationship the two communities share.
The video above is a tale of Mezer and Meiser, communities that have lived side by side for over 55 years, offering a model of what peaceful coexistence in the region might look like.
Bethany Firnhaber is a Los Angeles-based freelance reporter and photographer who recently received a master's degree in Journalism from the University of Southern California. She is most interested in reporting on issues of social responsibility and human rights, especially across cultural and international borders.
Rosalina Nieves is a master's degree candidate in Broadcast Journalism at the University of Southern California. After graduating from Purdue University, she began her career at WFLD-TV (FOX) in Chicago. Since that time, she has worked at KABC-TV and is currently an assignment editor at CNN's Los Angeles bureau.
Robyn Carolyn Price is native of Los Angeles, California. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree from New York University, and studied in Florence, Italy. She is currently a master's degree candidate in the Specialized Journalism Program at the University of Southern California. Her specialization is American politics and its effects on marginalized communities.
Read more about their reporting in Mezer and Meiser on their website, We would also like to include a link to the projects's website, Coexistence in Israel: A Tale of Two Cities.
Life Together: Haifa Cultural Center Builds Community Among Arabs and Jews
by Christin Davis, USC graduate journalism student
Assaf Ron (photo: Christin Davis)
"I was raised in a pluralistic house," said Assaf Ron, a Jewish man from Haifa, Israel. "An Arab was not cursed, he was a person."
In a country where separation — even physical walls — between Arabs and Jews is common, Mr. Ron's perspective stands out. News headlines included the murder of a Jewish settler family in the West Bank as Ron, 51, sat in his Haifa office, flooded by a strong sea breeze. Mr. Ron discussed his work as the executive director of Beit Hagefen Arab Jewish Center, a nonprofit cultural center in Haifa. Though he has no written job description, Mr. Ron said his overall role is to promote a need for mutual respect between people, specifically Jews and Arabs.
"My definition of coexistence is normalization, to respect the other's narrative," Mr. Ron said. "This is the biggest and hardest step on the way to coexistence."
Beit Hagefen, according to Mr. Ron, is a "window to a multicultural community" where Jews and Arabs interact together. Despite living in the same city, he said, the two groups do not interact, so the center encourages and facilitates connections through activities in the local area.
The center has an art gallery, a library, and an Arab theater. It recently began a women's walking club, a program bringing Arab and Jewish families together in each others' homes, and a photography class that allows for young people to connect through their work. Founded in 1963, it is a non-profit organization supported by the Haifa municipality; the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport; and private donations.

"It is important to me to have people respect and accept the other, no matter his religion, nationality, or education," Mr. Ron said. "There is only one way to live a good life on this globe — share resources and respect differences among people. I truly believe it is in my power to convince people of these ideas."
Before coming to Beit Hagefen, Mr. Ron, who has a master's degree in public administration from Haifa University, was the executive director of the department of education for the regional council in Gilboa, a rural area bordering the West Bank. Functioning much like a superintendent does in the United States, Mr. Ron oversaw seven Arab and six Jewish schools, often bringing together the teachers for collaboration. In his current position, Mr. Ron overseas the departments of Beit Hagefen, initiates new projects, raises funds, networks, and coaches the staff.
Mr. Ron works closely with Ulfat Haider, the program manager at Beit Hagefen and an Arab woman. Together, they promote "neighborliness." According to Mr. Ron, this means, "We don't have to agree about everything. If Palestinian is the way you define yourself, it doesn't mean you want to do anything to me."
He acknowledged the ever-present Israeli-Palestinian conflict but said that at Beit Hagefen "we reduce the level of fear and hatred and increase the understanding of the other's narrative. We try to reduce stereotypes."
A mother and her son play outside Beit Hagefen community center. (photo: Christin Davis)
It's an ongoing effort, as Mr. Ron learned when his son came home, excited to have made a new friend. Mr. Ron asked his son if he wanted to invite the boy to their house. "'Are you crazy? He's Arab,' my son said," Mr. Ron recalled. "Can you imagine? My house is one of coexistence, but he still gets this from the outside. Why couldn't we invite him over?"
Mr. Ron does make clear that he supports a Jewish state, "but not a Jewish state that is against civil rights for all people," he said. "Ask Arabs, they want to live here because it is a democracy — even if it is not completely equal now," Mr. Ron said. "We are an ethnic democracy. Jews have some benefits above the rest. In the eyes of the world, this is racism…sorry. My answer might be different if there was democracy in the Middle East. But right now, with the hypocrisy of terrorism, I'm too frightened."
I trust the Arabs that live in Israel," he said. "They choose to live here. But you can always find one or two people that are not trustworthy."
Mr. Ron said he doesn't consider himself that different from other Jews but has "more structured views and general tolerance." His friends, however, question his work toward coexistence.
"People call me naïve," he said. "I insist on being naïve… It's just believing in people. I learned that if you respect people as human beings and hear their story, most will respect you as well."
Christin Davis is a graduate student in journalism at the University of Southern California, and the managing editor for Caring, a magazine focused on social services produced by The Salvation Army.
This report is part of a collaboration between On Being and the University of Southern California Annenberg School of Communication & Journalism in an attempt to add to the public's understanding of the diversity of stories of daily life in Israel and the West Bank.

Making Life Out of Ruin in Ramle: The Work of Sculptor Nihad Dabeet
by Janine Rayford, USC graduate journalism student
"This is the project of my life," says sculptor Nihad Dabeet, 43, as he gives a tour of his unfinished home in Ramle, Israel. Built over 400 years ago, the house was in ruins until its newest tenant devoted himself to its renovation. Mr. Dabeet says he and his wife continue to excavate and build upon the land, without permission from the government.
Petite and jovial, Mr. Dabeet is an internationally known artist and sculptor who usually works with iron wire. From his dingy jeans and sweatshirt, it is hard to imagine a man whose art can cost thousands of dollars and is displayed and purchased throughout the world, including a recent exhibition in Atlanta, Georgia.
Now Mr. Dabeet's main masterpiece is his home. Renting from an Arab couple who have owned the property before the State of Israel declared independence in 1948, the Ramle native and his wife have excavated rooms buried under more than 10 feet of sand and rubble.
With an art education from Bulgaria, Mr. Dabeet says that "as a sculptor you understand materials." This understanding is allowing the Arab citizen of Israel to reconstruct a home out of ruin. So far, Mr. Dabeet has only refurbished a small percentage of the original structure.
What was once rubble has become a modern home with an aged façade. There are flat-screen televisions and jetted hot tubs, with Mr. Dabeet's sculptures of women and olive trees featured throughout. The new mortar ends towards the back of the house.
Unlike in Jerusalem and Nazareth, the Israeli government and local Ramle municipality have not invested in the architectural preservation of Ramle. It is up to individual residents and shop owners to restore and maintain the centuries-old structures of the biblical city, often without support from the current government.
"They want to clear the old part and to build something new," says Buthaina Dabit, a Ramle native who is giving a tour of the local ruins. Ms. Dabit points out the remnants of a building from the Ottoman period, which has been partially cleared for a parking lot near local shops.
Today, many buildings in Ramle are dilapidated and unlivable. "It's Arab culture, so it has to be erased," says Mr. Dabeet, speculating on why he thinks the city abstains from preservation. Families move on as stones crumble from their properties' arches and ceilings, burying architecture and artifacts in piles of beige rubble. Stray cats abound amongst relics and materials that could belong in the Smithsonian.
Past the bathroom and through an open quad, the sculptor shows one unfinished room at the back of the house, where the ceiling continues to deteriorate.
"If I am not here to repair this every few years, it will just fall in," he says.
All of this work will be for not if the city decides to bulldoze the property due to the illegal expansion of the structure. It is difficult for Arab citizens to receive permits to build or expand on their land. If they build without permits, their structures are subject to demolition by the municipality.
Despite lacking a building permit, "he insists to pay the taxes," said Ms. Dabit. The artist hopes that paying taxes regularly may spare his home from demolition.
One of Mr. Dabeet's projects is to resurface an entire room using tiles gathered from demolished Arab homes in the area. The artist has no trouble finding these tiles, considering the large number of home demolitions that have occurred in the Arab communities of Ramle and neighboring Lod. In an open-air quad on the property, festive-looking ceramic squares, some broken, stand in piles along the stone wall.
Dabeet's house sits in the Christian quarter of Ramle, in the shadow of the massive Terra Santa Franciscan monastery and a few blocks down the street from an 800-year-old Arab-Christian restaurant.
Mr. Dabeet is a self-proclaimed atheist. "I never believed in the b—- s—-," says the artist, standing next to a small plastic Christmas tree atop his refrigerator. His wife is a Muslim Bedouin from Libya and the mother of his two young daughters. The Dabeets are the only Muslim family in the area.
When Mr. Dabeet's wife comes home with their girls, he scoops up his eldest daughter Samira Landa. Despite the uncertain future, the father is proud of the home that he is creating for his family, as well as the benefit it brings to the community.

Discovering the Bahá'í Gardens
by Janine Rayford, USC "Reporting on Israel" Journalism Student
"Wow, what is that?" This question sprang from my mouth the moment I first saw the Bahá'í Gardens in Haifa, Israel.
My classmates and I had just gotten off of the bus in the German Colony area and were on our way to a restaurant that sits on the street just below the breathtaking monument. Since it was nighttime, all I could make out was an organized pattern of lights seeming to ascend into the sky.
I had never heard of the Bahá'í Faith prior to my visit to Haifa. After a bit of research, I found out that Bahá'í is a relatively new monotheistic religion founded in nineteenth-century Persia and that the Bahá'í Gardens (or Terraces of the Bahá'í Faith, or Hanging Gardens of Haifa) are gardens that surround the Shrine of Bab. Bab was the founder of Babism and forerunner to the Bahá'í Faith.
Intrigued by this new information, I decided to get a daytime look and spend my lunch hour at the brilliant edifice. The gardens are a landscaper's dream (or nightmare, in terms of upkeep). Layers upon layers of perfectly manicured lawns, sparkling fountains, and pruned foliage scale the side of Mount Carmel. Guided tours take awestruck visitors from all faiths up and down the stairs and throughout the flower-lined terraces.
A colleague and I listened in on one tour guide as she described how the Israeli government dealt with the Bahá'í community during the establishment of the Jewish state. Holy places, like the Bahá'í Gardens, would be preserved, but the Bahá'í had to stop their missionary activities and limit for the number of followers allowed to remain in the new nation.
Leaving the gardens, I couldn't help thinking that in Israel, religious politics plays a part in everything, even the flowers.

Names So Similar
by Bethany Firnhaber, USC "Reporting on Israel" Journalism Student
Mezer, a kibbutz (collective Jewish community) 45 minutes north of Haifa, is known for its reputation of peaceful, productive coexistence with its Arab neighbors in nearby Meiser. The names of the two locales are so similar that on this sign, the Arabic script in the middle puts the word for "kibbutz" in parentheses next to the word "Mezer" so there is no confusion.
Separate But Equal?
by Robyn Carolyn Price, USC "Reporting on Israel" Journalism Student
These two women, Aumhasan and Muti, were born, raised, and married in the Israeli city of Lod, just a short drive away from Tel Aviv. In 2010, the Israeli government finished construction on a wall to separate the Arab population of Lod from the city's Jewish population. Citing security issues, Israel said that the city, once described as a melting pot, needed to build a wall as a means to protect the Jewish residents from Arab crimes. The Arab residents, however, liken the wall to ethnic segregation.
"Look at the conditions that we are living," says Muti. "Look at the infrastructure. For our kids there is no garden. There is no library. There is nothing they have that makes a normal life. They play in the street. There is no transportation. It is very difficult for buses to come in here. And we are paying the same money as the Israelis, but we don't have any services."
According to The Economist, a "study by a liberal Israeli group called Shatil ("Seedling") estimates that 70% of Arab homes in Lod lack legal status." Therefore, "many municipal services, such as street lighting and rubbish collection, stop at the boundaries."
On the other side of the wall, there is a different narrative. The Jewish community is not denied the services such as waste removal, paved roads, and a standard quality of life. According to The Economist, "Israel's prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, encourages building for Jews to proceed with abandon," while the Arab residents in Lod say that they are denied building permits and many of their homes are demolished.
"Mixed neighborhoods," according to Sheera Frenkel in an NPR report, "have become a rarity. Highly guarded, Jewish-only building projects have sprung up across the city, most of them sponsored by religious Jewish groups."
"There is one street separating us and them," says Muti. "They can build and they have all the services. They have all these streets and infrastructure. It is one street separating between us and them. And look at them and look at us."

It is like being totally paralyzed. The most important thing is stability, without it I cannot think. I feel saddened every day.
—Fatmeh, an Arab Palestinian resident of Barta'a, Israel.
Fatmeh, who was born in the West Bank, and her husband Yousef, an Arab born in Israel, are unable to visit her family who live minutes away on the other side of the separation wall, reports USC's Christin Davis. They married before Israeli law disallowed Palestinians born in the West Bank from freely living and moving about inside the state of Israel and outside lands ruled by the Palestinian Authority. In order to stay with her husband, Fatmeh must go through the "grueling process" of reapplying for temporary identification every year since she cannot become a citizen of Israel.

Arabs Lead Peaceful Demonstration in Nazareth
by Sharis Delgadillo, USC "Reporting on Israel" Journalism Student
A small group of Palestinian-Israeli demonstrators gathered Tuesday evening in Nazareth to call for the reunification of the divided Palestinian parties of Hamas and Fatah.
"We are demonstrating here to push on both parties. They must sit and reunite and confront the Israelis in politics. I'm not talking about violence," said Mubada Gargoura, a member of the Israeli Communist Party (ICP).
The ICP and Hadash, which has four members in the 120-seat Knesset parliamentary government, organized this peaceful candlelit demonstration. It supports the evacuation of all Jewish settlements and the right of return or compensation for Palestinian refugees. The event was part of a larger set of coordinated demonstrations held inside the Palestinian occupied territories of Ramallah, Nablus, and Gaza.
An example of violent tensions between the two groups occurred last week. Five members of an Israeli settler family, including a baby, were stabbed to death inside their home in Itamar, a village in the West Bank. Some members in the Israeli-Jewish community were outraged and called the assault a Palestinian "terrorist attack."

An analysis by Wildfire Interactive found that early adopters of Facebook's new Timeline feature saw enhanced engagement. Whether this wears off remains to be seen.
Wildfire studied 43 brands over 42 days, for 21 days prior to the February 29 launch of Timeline and 21 days after the brands switched. It found double-digit percentage increases in People Talking About This, Likes per brand post, and Comments per brand post for 45 percent of the brands, representing 85 percent of total pages on Facebook.
On Wednesday, Simply Measured released a smaller study that found that the weeks-old Timeline format had lifted engagement with many brand posts by 46 percent.
The analysis was split between brands with less than 1 million fans, accounting for 45 percent of the total; brands with between 1 million and 10 million fans, accounting for 40 percent; and mega-brands, with more than 10 million fans, accounting for 15 percent of total pages studied.
Wildfire saw a significant difference in the effects of switching to Timeline between the different segments. Brands with less than 1 million fans, including Kate Spade New York and Diet Mountain Dew, saw double-digit increases in percentages of Likes, Comments and People Talking About This.
The mid segment, brands with between 1 and 10 million fans including Lexus and Dove, saw a smaller but still significant increase in engagement.
The mega brands, with over 10 million fans, actually experienced a decrease in engagement. However, all of these brands were partners in Facebook's Timeline debut, so this decrease could be the return to normal levels following the big splash.
"Because they were part of the Timeline launch, they saw some lift right before and around the launch, and then subsided to prior levels. So what might appear as a drop was a return to previous levels," says Jordan Drewitt, director of analytics for Wildfire. "But nevertheless, the lift was not as strong as for smaller pages."
Maya Grinberg, social media manager for Wildfire, also notes that, because of the sheer size of these brands' fan bases, it takes much more to move the engagement needle.
Wildfire also found changes in how different kinds of updates influenced engagement. Pre-Timeline, status updates were the best ways to generate likes and comments, while video posts were best at generating shares - by 69.5 percent.
Post-Timeline, status updates were still best at generating likes, but photos were best at generating comments. Videos increased their influence on shares, outperforming the next best post type by 90 percent.
Pinned posts were best at generating likes and comments, outperforming other types of pinned or featured content by 10 percent.
"Brands that pin posts to the top make sure that the post gets the very first eyeballs to hit the timeline. It's working the way we expect it to work, ensuring that users see them first," Grinberg says. "The other interesting result was that if it's a pinned photo post, it will do even better. Timeline is so visual, it's proving to be a much more engaging view than just regular photos were before."
Could the lift in engagement be simply the result of novelty? Possibly, according to Drewitt. Wildfire will continue to track engagement as Timeline rolls out across Facebook. He says, "It will take at least until early May to see the true effect of Timeline."

Not to mention Home on the Range and The Black Cauldron.
We are heading to the World in a few weeks. One thing our family is going to do is print out a list of all the Disney animated features and then try to find a reference to each movie in the list and take a picture of it. It can be an attraction, restaurant, poster, pretty much anything. Now, this will be easy for something like Dumbo or Peter Pan, but how about something like Chicken Little or The Fox & the Hound? Should be a fun challenge.
Check out my blog focusing on Disney ephemera from brochures to cups to posters to vintage pictures and everything in between:
Not to mention Home on the Range and The Black Cauldron.
Hey! My good friend Brent actually wrote a book about hidden animated references in the parks! The book is called From Screen to Theme. His website is fromscreentotheme.com
The book is great to carry around in the parks as well as reading back at home to get my Disney fix
hi.., i am new to this forum and this contain fun information. which must be appreciated by all. Thanks for the posts.

Missouri's revenues rose more than expected during the month of May.
The state collected about $6.6 billion in revenue last month, compared to just under $6.4 billion in May of 2011. Governor Jay Nixon's Budget Director, Linda Luebbering, credits most of the improvement to higher collections of state income and sales taxes.
"That's the good news, things are picking up," Luebbering said. "I think we do have to be cautious, still, because of what's going on at the national and particularly the international picture, with European Union issues and everything that's going on globally that could have some bearing on the overall economy."
The Missouri Office of Administration has released the General Revenue report for February and general revenue collections have increased 2.4 percent in the 2012 fiscal year.
The Missouri Office of Administration released today the General Revenue report for February.
According to the report, general revenue collections have increased 2.4 percent in the 2012 fiscal year. But so far, that's below the projected 2.7 percent increase. State Budget Director Linda Luebbering says the state is confident it will meet projections, due to pay raises and an increase in jobs.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is releasing more than $5 million that had been withheld from public education because of budget concerns.
Missouri is planning to refinance more than $500 million of debt as part of Gov. Jay Nixon's plan to balance the state budget.
Natural disasters have cost the state of Missouri $15 million and the state budget director says that tab is still going up.

My panel footprint has only P_TAG1, RATING1 and RATING2 attribute. How do I add DESC1, DESC2 and DESC3 attribute to my foot print so that my foot print display its descriptions?
Try to insert a nameplate.
It can either be referenced to an existing component footprint block or inserted as a stand-alone nameplate.
Go to Click Panel tab> Insert Component Footprints panel> Insert Footprints drop-down> Icon Menu
Select the desired nameplate and put it beside your footprint.
Select the block and find the block name in the properties dialog.
Now do a search for that particular block and open it in ACADE.
Add the three attributes you want (DESC1, DESC2 & DESC3) and position them as you require.
Save the block.
Now go to your panel layout dwg and run the block swap/update command. Select the block on your panel layout and ACADE will remove the old version and insert the new version.
From here, you can do two things to get the description attributes filled.
Run the Child Location/Description Update command or edit the block and re-associate it with it's schematic counterpart. This will force ACADE to update all the description attributes.

$16.8 million expansion unveiled at Flint's Bishop Airport
By Michigan Radio Newsroom
Flint's Bishop Airport unveiled a $16.8 million expansion at a public dedication ceremony Tuesday morning.
From the Flint Journal:
The construction project included a larger Transportation Security Administration area, which was opened in October.
It also added 47,000 square-feet of terminal space, four gates and doubled the width of the corridor linking two sections of the airport.
About $7 million for the project came from FAA grants and the airport used about $9 million of its reserve funds to pay for the rest.
The expansion is expected to double the airport's capacity to accommodate 2 million passengers.
