Let us carefully venture into the land of the general media, a place fraught with dangers and misunderstandings when it comes to aviation. Let us extend the hand of friendship to reporters across the land in hopes that they will have a better grasp of all things aeronautical.
Let us offer them a free flight lesson.
In that spirit, Be A Pilot is reaching out through the general media to moms who don't know what to get their husbands (besides a tie that doesn't match and an extra case of Bud), with a special invitation.
Here's the windup... and the pitch, in the form of a news release from Be A Pilot:
Instead of another tie or power tool this year, give Dad a Father's Day gift sure to give him a lift. It's a hands-on, introductory flying lesson offered through BE A PILOT, the national, nonprofit learn-to-fly program sponsored by the General Aviation community. At just $49, it's affordable and so easy to give. Just call 1-888-BEAPILOT to register for a free Introductory Flight Certificate.
From the website, simply print the certificate and give it to Dad with a card. When he's ready, just present the certificate to one of the more than 2,000 participating BE A PILOT flight schools in North America to receive the lesson for just $49, or about half the typical cost.
Watch his eyes light up as he's escorted to "his" airplane, goes through the preflight safety inspection with an FAA-licensed instructor and climbs into the pilot's seat. With the flight instructor at his side, Dad will actually fly the plane. He'll taxi to the runway, throttle up and -- at just the right moment -- pull back on the controls and guide the plane skyward to get a breathtaking view from 2,500 feet or more. And if he's like most first- timers, he'll probably want to fly over the family homestead.
After this experience, good old Dad will never look at a circular saw the same way again.
"June is National Learn to Fly Month, and with perfect weather throughout most of the country, there's no better time to discover the advantages and fun of flying," says Drew Steketee, president and CEO of BE A PILOT. "Chances are, it's something he's always thought of doing."
So don't give another run-of-the-mill gift when you can help Dad fulfill a lifetime dream. He might even want to continue training for his Private pilot's license. That license can be earned in as little as 40 hours of training and practice flying (although 50-70 hours is more typical).
The cost ranges from $3,000 to $7,000, depending on where you live, the type of airplane you train in and how often you fly. Once licensed, it's not necessary to buy a plane. In fact, most pilots rent planes, starting as low as $60-$100 per flight hour.
"Flying is an exceptional way to escape the daily grind, get away from the congestion on the ground and clear your mind," says Steketee. "An introductory flying lesson is a gift Dad won't soon forget. And it can lead to a rewarding skill, whether he's interested in flying for recreation, personal and family travel, or business travel."

New coating reduces corrosion, strengthens steel
A new glass-based coating for reinforcement bars could help prevent corrosion and strengthen the bond between steel and concrete.
This new material could help engineers build stronger bridges and increase the longevity of other steel-reinforced structures, said researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology.
The market in the U.S. for polymer-coated and galvanized rebar in the construction industry is more than $4 billion per year. But research found polymer coatings are not providing adequate corrosion protection for the rebar that helps to reinforce the nation's aging infrastructure.
The new coating is an engineered mixture of glass, clays, and water. This slurry slathers on the rebar and then heats to more than 1,400°F. The coating, which adheres to steel, promotes bonding with concrete and works to prevent corrosion from water and salt.
Missouri University of Science and Technology (S&T) has filed for a patent on the technology, developed by a team of researchers led by Dr. Richard Brow, Curators' Professor of materials science and engineering, and Dr. Genda Chen, professor of civil, architectural, and environmental engineering and interim director of the Center for Infrastructure Engineering Studies at S&T.
The U.S. Department of Defense has used related technology to develop blast-resistant walls. Brow and Chen realized they could improve upon some of the ideas originally conceived by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
"The goal is to take innovations like this out of the laboratory, team up with partners, solve problems, and make an economic impact," said Keith Strassner, director of technology transfer and economic development at Missouri S&T. Missouri S&T licensed the new technology to Pro-Perma Engineered Coatings in St. Louis.
Pro-Perma has two projects in the works that utilize the new coating, said Mike Koenigstein, who earned a bachelor's degree in ceramic engineering at Missouri S&T in 1993, and is managing partner of Pro-Perma. The first will involve the strengthening of marine structures in Corpus Christi, Tex. Koenigstein also has plans to strengthen a sea wall near Pearl Harbor in Oahu, Hawaii. The Department of Defense is sponsoring the two projects.
In addition to protecting structures from water and salt, Brow and Chen said the new coating would help make bridges and buildings stronger in earthquake-prone regions.
There are 800 short-span bridges in Missouri that need retrofitting or replacement, Chen said. In addition, more than 200 longer-span bridges are in urgent need of rehabilitation.
Strassner and Koenigstein envision opening a pilot plant dedicated to producing the glass-based coating in Rolla, which is already home to high-tech glass manufacturer Mo-Sci Corp. as well as Missouri S&T.

Early this week, a bright new star will grace the western sky just after sunset.
Except this isn't a star at all — it's a comet.
Comet C/2011 L4 Pan STARRS, a rocky ball of dirt, gas and dust, was discovered in June 2011 by the Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System, located atop Hawaii's Haleakala volcano, according to NASA.
Last Tuesday, the comet passed to within 100 million miles of Earth, its closest approach to the planet.
The icy body originated from the Oort Cloud, a gathering of rocky, dusty bodies in orbit trillions of miles from the sun. Every once in a while, debris orbiting in the Oort Cloud will get drawn out pulled in on a path toward the sun.
The visibility of the comet in Enid's night sky remains a mystery, because it's newly discovered. It could become bright enough to see with the naked eye, or it could simply remain a speck against the inky backdrop of the March night sky.
"It's going to be here ... but it's (going to be) close to the sun. I don't know how well it's going to be visible in our location," said Bob Killam, director of Northern Oklahoma College Enid's observatory.
In his most recent astronomy column, Killam said the comet will be visible to the naked eye through the end of the month, but viewers will need a good, dark location, looking west an hour after sunset.
"If (the comet) does show a tail, it's going to be perpendicular to the horizon," Killam said.
Tuesday and Wednesday will the best days to see it, as the comet will continue its trek through the solar system.
The comet has been visible for weeks from the Southern Hemisphere.
California astronomer Tony Phillips said the comet's proximity to the moon will make it easier for novice sky watchers to find it. Binoculars likely will be needed for the best viewing, he said, warning onlookers to avoid pointing them at the setting sun.
"Wait until the sun is fully below the horizon to scan for the comet in the darkening twilight," Phillips advised in an email sent from his home and observatory in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Comet Pan STARRS won't be the only such object to grace Enid's skies this year. In November, comet ISON is expected to make a close pass to Earth; it may even come close to outshining the moon.
That particular comet was discovered last September by Russian astronomers and got its name from the International Scientific Optical Network.
Neither Pan STARRS nor ISON pose a threat to Earth, scientists said.
Entertainment Editor Joe Malan and AP aerospace writer Marcia Dunn contributed to this story.

back to topProduct Description
With an easy-to-use, no-nonsense design that's dependable in the field, the pump is generally regarded as the "4x4" of field guns. The trusted line of PA-08 pump shotguns carries that tradition forward in typical Weatherby function and style. The PA-08 features a chrome-lined barrel to withstand the wear and tear of high-volume shooting with lengthened forcing cone that to reduce felt recoil. It comes with a ventilated top rib and brass bead front sight to aid in target acquisition. The vent rib works to dissipate heat in the barrel, promotes a smoother swing-through and gives the shooter an excellent sight line for acquiring fast-moving targets. A unique drop-out trigger system can be quickly removed for cleaning and reassembly, adding to the PA-08's exceptional functionality. The shotgun's receiver is CNC-machined, its bolt is chrome-plated,

Update:Police Chase Ends In Deadly Wreck on Highway 31 in Pine LevelA late night police chase turned deadly Saturday on Highway 31 in Pine Level.
Two cars collided head on around 11:30 p.m., after the Pine Level Fire Department says an officer with the Autauga County Sheriff's office was chasing a driver, identified by State Troopers as 55-year old Randy Gill Thomas. The accident happened about one mile south of Liberty Baptist Church and the Autauga Co. Sheriff's Office confirms it shut down traffic on Highway 31
for about a hour.
Thomas died when his 1998 Nissan Frontier hit a 1999 Inifiniti G-30, driven by 20-year old Reece David Quinnell and his passenger 24-year old Stephen Quinnell, both of Prattville.
The Autauga County Sheriff's Office says the officer was not hurt in the accident.
EMS Sergent Regina Caffey with the Pine Level Fire Department said all involved had to rescued by the jaws of life and transported to Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery. Caffey also said the Quinnell's suffered life threatening injuries from the crash.

That's No Moon, It's Dessert!: Deathstar Cookie
This is a giant cookie decorated to look like the Deathstar. Want to bake your own? Cool, here's what you do: 1) Make a big-ass ball of cookie dough and put it in the oven. 2) Poke it with a toothpick and lightly press it with a knife halfway through baking. 3) Pull it out of the oven and 4) realize what a terrible f***ing job you've done. 5) Ask your mommy to make you a better one but 6) eat all the remaining dough before she can so that you can 7) gloat about how much better yours turned out. 8) Get kicked out of the basement.

11/15/2010 12:33pm--OK, it's basically a beefed-up hairdryer, but I love my P220 anyway.
And actually, Todd Jarrett makes a convincing case that most people really underestimate the amount of muzzle rise in most pistols, and caliber matters less than most people think. I was in a class shooting identical Commander-sized 1911 clones in .45 and 9mm, and the 9mm shooters were hard to tell apart from the .45 shooters by watching the laser dots climb the wall above the target in the shoot house. I believe there are differences, but like the differences between the "tiny" 115-grain 9mm slugs and the "huge" 230-grain .45 slugs, I believe the difference is a LOT smaller than most people think and likely to be insignificant in many situations. -

Style: German longsword, .45 ACP--I usually find .45 ACP easier to control than 9mm and wonder why in all the video games 9mm is always easier to control.

As security experts routinely say, the big challenges are more psychological than technical. One of the findings in the article, "Promoting Personal Responsibility for Internet Safety," by LaRose et al., demonstrates this point in regard to fear, the pervasive motivator for installing virus scanners and adopting safe surfing habits. Here's the problem: if people start out indifferent about security, or unconfident that they can do something about it, fear can actually decrease protective actions. The authors' experiment produces a different relationship from the relationships found in the other articles they cite, but they conclude: "without knowing the level of risk perceived by each individual threatening messages have the potential to discourage safe behavior." (Emphasis in original.)
As a solution, the authors recommend building what they call "self-efficacy": the users' belief that they can protect themselves. This requires education and assurances (but not unrealistic assurances). Self-efficacy is not the same as technical skill, but is certainly related. As the article states:
Another point in the article is that education can fall on deaf ears if the learners don't acknowledge personal responsibility for security. Frustratingly enough, the authors found that urging people to take responsibility might actually make things worse. People who possess some interest and skill (measured in ways not made clear in the article) increased their protective behaviors in response to such browbeating, but those who started out indifferent and uneducated reacted quite negatively; their protective behaviors decreased.Fear is most likely to work if the threat information is coupled with information about how to cope with them, since the coping information raises self-efficacy.
There are several other subtle points in the article (which of course represents only a few studies out of many in the field), but I think that what I've summarized so far backs up the goal of Hackerteen. The purpose of the book, as I've thought of it during the editing process, is threefold:
- To get young people interested in computer and Internet technology, teachin\g them some facts along the way
- To teach users precautions for protecting themselves online
- To promote ethical behavior
Our presentation should fit the psychology of our mission. First, we provide an exciting story, presented with gorgeously colored graphics, to disarm the readers' recalcitrance about facing security problems. Security becomes fun, and therefore something worth getting to know better. If the novel stimulates learning, it will stimulate self-efficacy, and the novel's strong message about personal responsibility can also take hold.
The typical psychology of comic books is all about sublimating fears and worries about adolescent potency–most of all, fears about facing the dark side of one's own strong feelings and power. This psychology comes to the fore in Hackerteen, as the principal character Yago discovers his own power for both good and ill, and has to deal with the consequences of the use of that power. It's a good story with a good message, and one I hope will bring joy as well as empowerment to a new generation.

Release Date: 2005 | Tracklist
I think I've heard some of their older stuff. My friends likes them, got me interested via their myspace. Nice review, I might look into this album.
Album Rating: 1.5I didn't like this at all.
great review, however christian black metal doesn't sound too inviting.
Album Rating: 3.0this has some good tracks. i used to have another one of their newer albums which was a bit more mellow i think but i dont have it anymore this might be that album i dont have anymore...yep it is i just checked my itunes. their older albums were pretty goodThis Message Edited On 01.09.08This Message Edited On 01.09.08
Album Rating: 3.5This album has no black metal traces left. Older albums are much heaveir and melodic death and black influnced. Still, there are still some solid bands to find regardless of the lyrical content or the christian tag. To me, it's just the music, if it's christian and sounds good, then i'll give it a try. Antestor, Renascent, Crimson Moonlight, Immortal Souls and to a degree, Mortal Treason are bands worth checking out.This Message Edited On 01.09.08This Message Edited On 01.09.08
Album Rating: 3.0^^^^Crimson Moonlight are great. Mortal Treason's album Call To the Martyrs (i think thats whats it called) is pretty good too. nobody should listen to Mortification though, theyre a joke
Album Rating: 3.0Iâm the only on this site that seems to appreciate this CD Count me to that list too. Great review, you really did this album justice. Plus, your recommendations for this album are my favourites too! Digging: Stargazer - A Great Work of Ages
Iâm the only on this site that seems to appreciate this CD
Digging: Stargazer - A Great Work of Ages
Album Rating: 3.5Thank you. Yeah there are some pretty good bands out there if you know where to look.
Album Rating: 3.0I've only heard this album by these guys. I first heard Pearl on the Century Media website, and it just sounded way different than alot of the other metal bands I was listening to at the time.
Not a fan really of Christian Black Metal, but this review was good enough to make it sound worthwhile.Digging: Morbus Chron - Sweven
Digging: Morbus Chron - Sweven
Album Rating: 3.5I suggest you check out Undecieved by this band. Back to their heavier, less experimental roots.
Album Rating: 3.0I like their older stuff better, but this is still a good album. Pearl is a beautiful song. nobody should listen to Mortification though, theyre a joke Anything they've done in the last decade is pretty sub-par, but some of their early stuff rocked. Check out Break the Curse, the self-titled, or Scrolls of the Megilloth for some good Mort.
nobody should listen to Mortification though, theyre a joke
Album Rating: 1.0This is probablly one of the worst albums I've ever listened to.
Extol is brutal, it's funny how they change their style almost every album but it's kind of cool too.
Album Rating: 3.5I could see how Pizza, vocals tend to grate after a while, but there are some pretty good tracks here. Yeah too bad Extol didn't retain much of their older roots with their next change in style, if that was the case, this would have been a stronger.
Album Rating: 1.5Awful album. I bought this after hearing one of Extol's previous records (which I loved), when i put this in my CD player, i got through about 4 tracks and never listened to it again. Complete waste of $15
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffThis is really underrated.This Message Edited On 03.12.09Digging: Otto A Totland - Pinô
Digging: Otto A Totland - Pinô
This is alright in the first listen.
Love Extol. Reviewer failed to mention their former 'clean' vocalist left the band prior to this release. So his replacements on the guitars simply don't have the chops he had, and the lead vocalist trying to pull of the clean vocals just can't do it. This is not Extol, this is a different band entirely, in a musical sense. Since the principal songwriter and co-vocalist left, it would have been wise to change the name of the band, rather than go from black metal to 'this' and not sh*t on their legacy.
Album Rating: 3.0Definitly my least favorite of theirs. Loved Burial, Undeciever, and especially Synergy.Digging: Shining (NOR) - Blackjazz

"Prefab Architecture . . . is beyond theory, and beyond most of what we think we know about pods, containers, mods, and joints. This book is more than 'Prefabrication 101.' It is the Joy of Cooking writ large for the architecture and construction industries."
—From the Foreword by James Timberlake, FAIA
The definitive reference on prefab architecture for architects and construction professionals
Written for architects and related design and construction professionals, Prefab Architecture is a guide to off-site construction, presenting the opportunities and challenges associated with designing and building with components, panels, and modules. It presents the drawbacks of building in situ (on-site) and demonstrates why prefabrication is the smarter choice for better integration of products and processes, more efficient delivery, and realizing more value in project life cycles. In addition, Prefab Architecture provides:
- A selected history of prefabrication from the Industrial Revolution to current computer numerical control, and a theory of production from integrated processes to lean manufacturing
- Coverage on the tradeoffs of off-site fabrication including scope, schedule, and cost with the associated principles of labor, risk, and quality
- Up-to-date products featuring examples of prefabricated structure, enclosure, service, and interior building systems
- Documentation on the constraints and execution of manufacturing, factory production, transportation, and assembly
- Dozens of recent examples of prefab projects by contemporary architects and fabricators including KieranTimberlake, SHoP Architects, Office dA, Michelle Kaufmann, and many others
In Prefab Architecture, the fresh approaches toward creating buildings that accurately convey mature and expanded green building methodologies make this book an important voice for adopting change in a construction industry entrenched in traditions of the past.

• The Thundering Herd men's basketball team has its fourth and final scheduled game against a team from a power (BCS) league this Saturday. Marshall will travel to Kentucky, where the Herd will surely play in front of one of the largest crowds in program history.
The Daily Mail's Jody Jividen traveled to Rupp Arena to cover the Dec. 27, 1994 game between Marshall and UK. The Wildcats won handily, 116-75, and 23,782 were in attendance.
That's the largest announced attendance ever for a Marshall hoops game.
This season, the defending national champion Wildcats are averaging 22,071 in seven home games. Kentucky has finished first or second nationally in attendance every year since 1977, and has been tops in attendance six consecutive seasons.
• The turnover-prone Herd, which doesn't have highly touted point guard Kareem Canty (academically ineligible) or leading assist man DeAndre Kane (broken right hand), received a backcourt boost Thursday.
Kelvin Amayo, a rare mid-year academic non-qualifier, practiced for the first time Thursday after gaining eligibility.
There should be no expectation of an immediate contribution here. Amayo wasn't allowed to practice with the team and is a walk-on. But the extra body in the backcourt can't hurt.
Marshall (7-5) ranks No. 220 nationally in turnovers per game (14.9).
Amayo is 6-4 and has a linebacker's build.
• Saturday's MU-UK game in Lexington, Ky., is the eighth of an 11-game stretch where Marshall plays only in West Virginia or bordering states.
The Herd plays at Kentucky this Saturday and at Ohio on Jan. 5.
This relatively travel-free stretch started Nov. 19, the day Marshall returned from a three-day trip to Hempstead, N.Y. The next team flight will be for the Jan. 12 conference road opener against the University of Texas at El Paso.

Item # ZRH0299
2013 This model is no longer in stock.
Zero RH + Stretch Control Bib Short - Men's $0.00
Support exactly where it's needed.
Muscle support is the big buzz word among cycling apparel companies these days. That's because it's been proven that supported muscles are less affected by shock and vibration, and therefore take longer to fatigue. Although quite a few manufacturers offer products that support your muscles, few can claim to target this support as precisely as Zero RH+'s Stretch Control Bib Short. Designed around the Stretch Control System, this is a fully featured bib short with Zero RH+'s venerable Uranus chamois pad, abrasion-resistant panels, and open mesh braces.
Zero RH+'s Stretch Control System allows designers to apply support and resistance to targeted muscle groups. They did this using rubberized stretch appliques in precise locations on the bib short. Because these appliques are simply printed on the bib short, they are able to vary the amount of effort it takes to stretch them, as well as place them exactly where they want this resistance to occur. On
the other hand, areas without the appliques offer the greatest freedom
of motion. This is the most controlled system of stretch and support that we've seen, and you can feel the difference during and after your ride.
The Stretch Control Bib Short is made with Zero RH+'s Firedry Gold 100 fabric. This moisture-wicking, breathable fabric keeps you dry and comfortable during hot summer rides. Firedry is offered in four different weights–Gold 100 being the lightest. It's also abrasion- and wear-resistant, and provides exceptional aerodynamics.
Because the overall comfort of a pair of shorts cannot exceed the quality of the chamois contained within, the Stretch Control Short features the exclusive Uranus chamois. This hand-sewn insert features high-density foam that evenly distributes pressure as you move in the saddle. We also want to point out that Zero RH + constructs the Stretch Control Short on a curve. This ensures that the gender-specific Uranus conforms to the body's shape in a cycling position.
The Zero RH + Stretch Control Bib Short is available in the colors Black and White/Black and in sizes Small to XXX-Large. Flatlock seams through the shorts reduce chafing and irritation. Reflective elements on the rear make you more visible in traffic to make your ride home safer.

"To be able to add a football facility that will help us with player development and growth is simply fantastic," Coach Jim Mora said. (Stephen Dunn / Getty Images) |
UCLA will begin a fundraising campaign to raise money to build a football training facility at Spaulding Field.
The facility is estimated to cost $50 million and will be built with private donations.
USC, Oregon and Washington are among the Pac-12 programs that have built new training facilities, which can boost recruiting efforts. Spaulding Field has received upgrades since Coach Jim Mora was hired. But he has sought a football house that would include a weight room, team rooms and coaches' offices.
"To be able to add a football facility that will help us with player development and growth is simply fantastic,"' Mora said in a statement.
Athletic Director Dan Guerrero said the facility would "continue to propel UCLA football forward by allowing coaches and student-athletes to teach, learn and develop in a state-of-the-art facility."
UCLA is also looking into building a basketball practice facility.

We liked this campground . The sites have concrete pads, level, w gravel between the pads and grass around it. All sites have trees, but they are still small. There are no showers or restroom, as the facility was built for the oil and pipeline workers who had self contained rigs. Wi-Fi worked well at our site. The owner was the most fun. He is: a retired pipeline welder with many stories and experiences. Very quiet, basic campsite. We would definitely return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Although this is not the kind of park we usually prefer, it's proximity to Harding University, and the reasonable rate made it acceptable. When we arrived, the host met us and he is a very nice person. His first action was to offer some peaches he had with him. Normally we like state parks and corp of engineer parks, something less crowded. This park is close together but turned out to be quiet and peaceful. We would use this park in the future without any worries. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Whitney Lane RV is a friendly rural park. It is only about 4 miles from Harding College in Searcy AR, which is north of Little Rock. There is a pipeline being installed in the area and many of the campers here are workers. All occupied sites were neat. There were no poorly maintained RVs in the campground. He still maintains some short term sites. Although there is no playground or swimming pool, I did see several children in the park as well as many small dogs. Sites have concrete runner pads with a concrete patio. The interior roads are gravel. Owner lives across the street. There are trees but many are still young. The laundry room was clean and well maintained. We were here to visit relatives in the area and will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

License FUD
A few proprietary software vendors argue that there is something almost un-American about free software and the GPL. Microsoft has been one of the loudest voices in that chorus of fear. That company's web site describes it this way:
The GNU General Public License (GPL)...poses a significant threat to the IP base of companies seeking to build a business around GPL-covered software. Even businesses who may believe they are "mere users" of GPL software are threatened since they combine what they believe to be separate applications with GPL code. This licensing model has the effect of foreclosing a business' choice of what IP to share with the community and on what terms (www.microsoft.com/business/licensing/ssfaq.asp).
The simplest version of Microsoft's shared-source licenses is the one they use to distribute their Windows CE 3.0 source code. That license states, in its second paragraph, "You can use this software for any noncommercial purpose, including distributing derivatives." The license then makes it clear that running your business operations "would not be considered noncommercial".
Commercial users—and I consider most open-source software developers to be in that category—must look further in the license to determine the restrictions on use that apply to them. The third paragraph of the license conveys the bad news:
For commercial purposes, you can reference this software solely to assist in developing and testing your own software and hardware for the Windows CE platform. You may not distribute this software in source or object form for commercial purposes under any circumstances.
Note that Microsoft has not given you permission to copy their code or to incorporate it into your own software in a derivative work. Your use of their software for commercial purposes is limited to reference purposes only.
Obviously, you can agree not to make a copy of any portion of the Microsoft software or to use it to create derivative works. But what happens if later you, independently and without consciously remembering what you saw in Microsoft's code, create something substantially the same as their code? Can you still be liable for infringement?
That's where the Trojan horse comes into play. The courts have made it clear that, under copyright law, proof of substantial similarity between your work and another work, along with proof of access to the other work, may be enough to prove infringement, even when you don't realize that you're making a copy.
How easy is it to forget something important that you read? A copyright infringement case from the 1970s will illustrate the problem. In 1976, George Harrison's music company was sued for copyright infringement. A music publisher claimed that Harrison plagiarized his successful song, "My Sweet Lord", from an earlier successful song, "He's So Fine". In order to prove copyright infringement, the publisher of "He's So Fine" had to prove not only that there was "striking similarity" between the two songs, but that Harrison had copied the original song when composing his. Harrison admitted that he was familiar with the original song, but that while he was working on "My Sweet Lord" he wasn't conscious of the fact that he was using the "He's So Fine" melody. The court concluded:
In seeking musical materials to clothe his thoughts...there came to the surface of [Harrison's] mind a particular combination that pleased him....Did Harrison deliberately use the music of "He's So Fine"? I do not believe he did so deliberately. Nevertheless, it is clear that "My Sweet Lord" is the very same song as "He's So Fine" with different words, and Harrison had access to "He's So Fine". This is, under the law, infringement of copyright, and is no less so even though subconsciously accomplished.
—Bright Tunes Music Corp. v. Harrisongs Music, Ltd., 420 F.Supp. 177 (S.D.N.Y. 1976).
Subsequently, Harrison's music company was found liable for some $1.6 million in damages.
Anyone familiar with the art of computer programming will recognize that, as with music, there are rather standard ways to express certain thoughts. Having once seen Microsoft's code, will an expert programmer be able to erase that example from his mind? Even if he or she consciously attempts to forget and does not intend to copy, will his or her subconscious memories be expressed in his later code with sufficient similarity that a court will find copyright infringement has occurred?
I encourage open-source programmers to avoid that risk. Don't look at source code licensed under Microsoft's shared-source licenses unless you're one of the rare breed of humans who can control his or her subconscious.

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.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Gabrielle Giffords as well as Attorney General Eric Schneiderman are expected to attend Sunday's Saratoga Arms Fair.
They're highlighting that this gun show does background checks and has other rules and regulations, but some selling these weapons say there's a bigger issue.
Joe Aldano says he's been a gun dealer for 35 years and has performed hundreds of background or NICS checks. They are required at the Saratoga Arms Fair and every person that buys a gun gets a NICS number written on their receipt before leaving the show.
However, he says for incidents, like the shooting that severely injured former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in 2011, there needs to be more action taken for those denied after a NICS check is performed.
"There's still a loophole there that they're not doing their end," says Aldano, "You make me do my part but that's as far as it goes. Once it gets to that part it stays in my store. It goes in a file."
Aldano told NEWS10 ABC he is not required to report to local authorities if someone trying to buy a gun is denied, it's something he says he would to see Police follow-up with those who are denied.
"Yeah it does somewhat work but there should be another step where everybody works with the local authorities to say 'alright he was denied what's going on here check him out'."
Giffords now has an organization pushing to reduce gun violence. On that organization's website it says "The state's model helps keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them, like criminals and the dangerously mentally ill without infringing on our Second Amendment rights."
Aldano stated "You need to check it out see why this persons trying to buy a fire arm. He could be an illegal person trying to purchase a gun. If he doesn't get it from me he's going to get it somewhere else."
On Sunday when Giffords is at the show, NEWS10 ABC will be there to get some answers about what their view is on how far these background checks really go.

Having a 4 wheel drive really expands your opportunities when you are camping, We have a 4 wheel drive pickup and have taken it everywhere from the deserts around Quartzite to the mountains of the Smokies. I was recently in Custer State Park on a Off Road only drive and ended up surround by a herd of buffalo. Stunning. Mine is a crew cab. If I had to do it again, I would get a 4 door midsized 4 wheel drive pickup.

Iceland's Top Picks
Top 5 Natural Phenomena of Iceland
- Northern Lights: The Northern Hemisphere's Aurora Borealis has captivated and intrigued people for eons. This stunning, natural light display that runs along magnetic fields brings hypnotic green, yellow and red shades to the night sky in Iceland from September to March. As one of nature's most magnificent triumphs, this is one unforgettable spectacle.
- Golden Falls: Known locally as Gullfoss, this spectacular, three-tiered waterfall drops suddenly into a deep cavern, creating a dramatic landscape like no other. Surrounded by lush, green countryside, the mist and spray create rainbows in the air providing brilliant photo opportunities.
- Blue Lagoon: The mineral-rich, azure waters of the Blue Lagoon are a magnificent sight to behold and are even better to soak in. Relaxing in the warm waters while admiring the sublime moonscape is a quintessential Iceland experience that just must be done.
- Lake Myvatn: This awesome area in northern Iceland was birthed from volcanic eruptions millions of years ago and continues to be shaped by volcanic activity to this day. The combination of strange lava formations, thermal caves and a sprawling lake dotted with craters and rising rocks makes for an eerie yet beautiful landscape.
- Glacier Lagoon: Also known as Jokulsarlon, this monumental glacier lake is the largest in Iceland. Featuring a parade of large and small blue icebergs floating on and under the pure, icy water, this lagoon is so exceptionally beautiful that it has been used as a backdrop for Hollywood films, a set for reality television shows and has even featured on a postage stamp.

4/19 Game Recap: Indians 2 - Mariners 1
Player of the Game
Josh Tomlin's Player of the Game score of 7.73 was the second highest on the year (Justin Masterson 7.98 on Opening Day) as he steamrolled into tonight's award. His 8 innings pitched tied for the most by an Indian this year and his 7 strikeouts tied his first start for second most. The win was his first of the year and he only allowed 5 total hits with one earned run. Jack Hannahan's game winning single put him in the running at the last second with a score of 3.10 and Chris Perez earned 2.02 with a perfect 9th.
Feathers Up
The pitcher's duel made it possible for Matt Underwood to use one of his trade marked lines early in the game as he went to break saying "We're scoreless in Seattle." This is why we all love Matty.
Josh Tomlin was fantastic enough in his re-entrance to the starting rotation. Tomlin was forced into the bullpen for his last outing due to postponed games, extra days off and suspensions, but he should be able to retain his spot in the starting five from now on. It was the Indians first quality start since Derek Lowe's second game (4/13).
Jack Hannahan came through in the clutch where nobody else could and handed Brandon League a blown save. Because Manny Acta made the genius move of replacing Travis Hafner with pinch runner Aaron Cunningham, the Indians were able to score two on the hit, enough to take the lead and win the game.
Feathers Down
The Indians were unable to get anything going against Felix Hernandez tonight, but their 12 strikeouts did make him throw enough pitches that he wasn't able to pitch a complete game.
Play of the Game
Final Score: Cleveland Indians 2 - Seattle Mariners 1 as the Indians win their second series in a row.

Tel Aviv's Ganei Yehoshua came alive on Monday night when the Red Hot Chili Peppers rocked Israel for the first time. Depending on whom you ask, the concert either began 10 minutes late – pretty punctual for rock stars – or 11 years late, after a canceled 2001 show.
Yet when the California rockers took the stage to play "Monarchy of Roses" from the band's latest album I'm With You, the crowd of 50,000 fans in the audience didn't care about timing, swaying to the music.
Vocalist Anthony Kiedis and bassist Michael "Flea" Balzary forgot their shirts at home, as usual – and many young men in the audience followed their lead.
Longtime drummer Chad Smith and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who has been with the Chili Peppers since 2009, rounded out the performance; but the two original band members made the show with their antics.
Kiedis and Flea brought the same crazy energy they have been emitting since their first album in 1984, with the vocalist skipping and jumping around the stage, and Flea occasionally shrieking "Woooooooo!" and walking on his hands. The two interacted with the audience; Kiedis shouted "What's up Tel Aviv!" and thanked the crowd for its support, while Flea seemed to exhaust his entire Hebrew vocabulary, peppering the performance with cries of "L'chaim!" and "Mazel tov!"
The band played a handful of singles from their most recent album but stuck to their better-known hits for most of the nearly two-hour concert. There hardly seemed to be any breathing room in Ganei Yehoshua, but the audience found space to jump and head-bang along to "Can't Stop," "Give It Away" and "By the Way." Fans knew every word to "Under the Bridge" and "Californication" and clapped along with the Chili Peppers' excellent cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground."
The most poignant moments of the concert were dedicated to Israeli-born Red Hot Chili Peppers' founding guitarist Hillel Slovak, who died of an overdose in 1988. The band dedicated "Otherside" to Slovak's hometown, Haifa, at the beginning of the show, and later paid a more obvious tribute, with Flea saying, "Hillel Slovak forever!"
"Hillel had his own brand of Israeli funk. I'm pretty sure he invented it – Israeli funk," Kiedis said. Flea added, "We grew up with Hillel in LA. When he was a teen, he went on a trip to Israel, and he came back so lit up and full of life."
Kiedis then sang the first line of "Dream a Little Dream" before transitioning into "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie" and going back to singing, jumping, and energizing the crowd in the Chili Peppers' distinct style.
