EastEnders star will miss daughter in jungle

Eastenders actress Charlie Brooks has admitted that being separated from her daughter is going to be her toughest challenge while taking part in I'm a Celebrity...
Eastenders actress Charlie Brooks has admitted that being separated from her daughter is going to be her toughest challenge while taking part in I'm a Celebrity...
Charlie and her daughter Kiki have been inseparable over the last few months as they have enjoyed a mother/daughter road trip across Europe, camping out under the stars together after the actress got permission to take some time out from her role as Janine Butcher in EastEnders.
And now as she prepares to go into the jungle, the 31-year-old confides that it's going to be hard not being, seeing or talking to her daughter every day.
"From a selfish point of view, it's going to be hard," says Charlie. "I will miss her a lot but I know she is with my family and I know she will be looked after well."
Explaining why she wanted to take part, Charlie says she loves new adventures.
"I have been camping a lot and I love it," she says. "I haven't jumped out of a plane, but I have done some bungee jumps before and so when I got offered this, I decided to accept.
"I have surprised myself by saying yes, but now I am going I am really excited."
The actress also revealed she plans to remain positive about the challenges that lie ahead of her. Says the star: "I don't really have any phobias but the thought of rats crawling all over me is not very nice. I am also dreading the eating trials, but I am just trying to remain positive about it all!"
As to whether she is dreading anyone entering the jungle, Charlie is a great believer in giving everyone a chance. "I don't think you should judge anyone before you know them," she says. "I am not going to make a fuss."
The actress won't reveal what luxury item she is going to take into the celebrity camp, but make-up definitely will not be high on her list.
"Oh gosh I am not arsed about make-up and it's not going to be my luxury item," she says, laughing. "I am sure there will be a glamour model in there who will bring make-up if I need it!"
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! kicks off on TV3 and ITV this Sunday.

Hey CanesCountry,
Longtime fan, but new to CanesCountry. I've been a fan of the Canes since they moved to the great state of North Carolina in 1997 and have been to many memorable games over the years, including Game 7 of the SCF and Jussi's goal with no time remaining vs. NJD two years ago. Just thought I'd share my experience at the game last night vs the L.A. Kings.Fun game to go to, sucks the Canes lost though.
The defense looked like they had taken shots of Ny-quil before the game, especially Corvo, he looked completely dead out there. He was painful to watch. Granted, the Canes were 24 hours off their last game and the Kings hadn't played since Friday (so they were fresh), nevertheless the offense was decent but the defense looked shot.
My friends and I yelled out "JU-SSI" during the national anthem and the fans around us thought it was pretty funny. The fans in my section were nice for the most part, except for a guy two rows behind me who started chants nobody went along with and whistled THE ENTIRE GAME. It really annoyed not only us, but the Kings fans in my section. That and he was one of those fans who yelled about the game when it was clearly obvious he had no idea what he was talking about. He'd yell things like "Puck Control" and scream at the refs even during obvious penalties. It was entertaining to say the least.
Also, some kid told me and my friends after the second goal to "Go back to Canada." I can't wait to fly home for Christmas and see my family in North Carolina, which is apparently located in Canada. Really thought we would put the tying goal in during the third period, we shelled them but the shots just wouldn't go. I'm excited I got to see Jeff Skinner's first regulation NHL goal, he's been a heck of a player in the couple of games he's played.
Nobody really gave us crap on the way out except for few losers, to which we responded with the unstoppable comeback of "Stanley Cup." That shut them up.
Overall, it was a fun game.
Go Canes!

Deliciously Raw with Leslie Bega
I think I'm in love!
Leslie Bega's new internet TV show, Deliciously Raw, is by far one of the most exciting thing happening in the world of raw foods.
Hip, fun, sexy, intelligent - this show, and its host, has it all. In fact when I watched an episode for the first time this morning, I got sorta jealous because their website is so beautiful.
A lot of the beauty obviously has to do with the show's host, Leslie Bega, (read her interview here). Her combination of energy, beauty and intelligence is raw food propaganda at its best. All I can say is wow!
- Deliciously Raw (Episode I): Raw Chocolate Mint Pudding

This description from Fight Report was so vivid and compelling I just had to share:
Belfort fucked Lindland up BAD in this fight. He landed a short left that dropped Matt then followed up with five more blows until he was totally out. The last blow caused Lindland's left leg to quiver uncontrollably as he lay in complete unconsciousness… 45 seconds after the KO, Lindland began drifting in and out of consciousness. His eyes opened halfway but they were still totally out of focus… 1 minute and 25 seconds after the KO, paramedics finally revived Lindland but he thought the fight was still going on so he tried a single on a nearby medic… 1 minute and 55 seconds after the KO, Lindland appeared to realize he got knocked out but he was trying to stand anyway. The doctors struggled to keep him down and the former Olympian remained in an uncomfortable half standing position as he battled with the doctors…. 3 minutes and five seconds after the KO Lindland resigned himself to a sitting position as the doctors kept a brace secured tightly around his neck. It looked like a dog collar and was obviously humiliating to Matt. I was glad to see him finally get up and walk out of the ring under his own power. He was able to do this less than five minutes after Belfort knocked him out. As disturbing as the knockout was, Matt recovered fairly quickly.
This was a vivid and compelling reminder of the nervousness I felt watching as Lindland recovered last night. It is obvious why the UFC has a policy of not focusing on injured fighters. However, I think I prefer Affliction's honest approach.
Let's not kid ourselves. MMA is a VERY dangerous game. Fighters are risking their health each and every time they enter the cage/ring.
That's only one reason why I strongly believe the sport needs to be treated with the highest degree of seriousness. It is also the chief weapon used against the sport by our enemies.
Earlier this week the influential New York Times editorial board blogged against legalizing MMA in the Empire State. They recycled all of the most uninformed arguments against our sport. Luke is promising to give them their come uppance. Please harass him until he does so.
In the meantime, Zak Woods has blown up the British Medical Association study that the NYT based its argument on. He does this by drawing on a superior American study of MMA (pdf.):
Of the 171 fights observed over a three year period only 11 ended via knock out, or 6.4%. Approximately 40% ended due to technical knock out, and 30% ended due to tapout. According to these number the knockout rate is lower in MMA than boxing.
Now let's recap quickly. The BMA study uses physics, in force studies, comparing 'probable' movements in MMA and found that only two of the four held 'serious risk', and were 'comprable to motor accidents'. Their study was not based on actual fight data, but rather biomechanical models.
The U.S. study looked at available data from an Athletic Commission over a three year period and found that the risk of knock out was lower than boxing. Also the injury data does not indicate permanent damage, or traumatic brain injury that the BMA cites in their position paper.
Now which study appears to be better science? The BMA study, dealing with force models based upon 'commonly performed manuvers' (which were not described in the overview), or the U.S. study which analyzes over 170 fights over a three yaer period? The answer is clear the U.S. study.

Min Jee Lee faces tough test in WA Open
BY PGA of Australia | 25 Oct 2011
15 year old West Australian amateur Min Jee Lee will this week face one of her biggest ever tests as she lines up against the men in the 2011 John Hughes Geely/Nexus Risk Services WA Open.
To be played at her home club of Royal Fremantle, the teen prodigy is the only female in the PGA Tour of Australasia field and will be looking to add the State Open title to her already impressive list of results.
The youngest ever winner of the WA State Women's Amateur Championship, Lee is currently the second ranked Australian female junior and seventh in Australian Women's Amateur rankings.
The Methodist Ladies' College student and Golf Australia National Squad Member will tee off in Thursday's first round amongst an impressive field that includes West Australians Jarrod Moseley, Stephen Leaney and Kim Felton.
Leaney and Felton are two of the most prolific winners of the Roy Paxton Bowl trophy having won the Championship five and three times respectively.
While the majority of the field contested last week's Brunel Western Australian PGA Championship, there are also some new additions for the Open showdown including West Australian Rick Kulacz, Queenslander Adam Blyth and Victorian Scott Laycock who will be looking for his second Tour win of the season.
Earlier this year Laycock triumphed in the inaugural Surf Coast Knockout before spending the majority of the year playing the OneAsia tour where his best result was a T2 in the Nanshan China Masters.
To see the full John Hughes Geely/Nexus Risk Services WA Open field click here.
While the tournament proper won't get underway until Thursday morning, the surrounding events kick off this afternoon with a My Golf Kids Clinic to be hosted by a number of professionals in this week's field.
First played in 1921, the WA Open continues to be an important event on the PGA Tour of Australasia schedule with an impressive list of past champions including Kel Nagle, Eric Cremin, Ossie Pickworth, Gary Player, Graham Marsh, Terry Gale and Greg Norman.
In addition to receiving their share of the $110,000 prize money, the tournament winner will also earn for themselves a spot the county's biggest events including the Emirates Australian Open, Australian PGA Championship presented by Coca-Cola, BMW NZ Open hosted by Christchurch and JBWere Masters.
The leading amateur on Sunday afternoon will be the recipient of the Terry Gale Cup.
The John Hughes Geely/Nexus Risk Services WA Open will be played at Royal Fremantle Golf Club from October 27 to 30.
Entry is FREE for all spectators.
The tournament proudly supports its charity partner, the Fremantle Hospital Medical Research Foundation.

A few miles east of Texas State Highway 19, a conspicuous circle of valves, gauges and metal tanks sits in the middle of lush, green farm land. This property, owned by one family for almost two centuries, has become one of the latest stakes claimed by an industry that has already found great success with similar sites across Texas.
Behind the wheel of a bright red truck, on the way to town to see her grandchildren, Susan, the landowner, smiles and shakes her head.
"They say we live on an oil field," she says. "I say we live on a ranch."

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – The man who was hit by a car and killed while
crossing Southern Parkway has been identified.
According to a Jefferson County coroner, Lawrence Lynn Junior, 41, was hit
by the car while trying to cross against traffic around 9 p.m. Monday.
Police spokesman Dwight Mitchell said Lynn was walking east to west on
Southern Parkway when he was struck by a southbound car and hit the windshield.
"It does not appear that the pedestrian was walking in the
crosswalk," said Mitchell, "and it also appears the individual may
have had some type of alcohol involvement."
Lynn was pronounced dead at the scene.
No charges are expected against the driver.

XCell-Center in Dusseldorf Shut Down
Europe's largest stem cell clinic, which is at the centre of a scandal over the death of a baby given an injection into the brain, has been shut down.
The closure of the XCell-Center in Dusseldorf follows an undercover investigation by The Sunday Telegraph into its controversial practices, which attracted hundreds of patients from the UK. The clinic charged patients up to £20,000 for stem cell injections into the back and brain despite a lack of scientific proof that the treatments actually worked.
Experts in stem cell research had accused the clinic of preying on vulnerable patients, desperately seeking a cure for such illnesses and diseases as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, autism, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, heart disease, diabetes and spinal cord injuries.
While most other European countries - as well as the US, Canada and Australia - have banned stem cell treatments unless shown to be safe and effective, XCell had exploited a loophole in German law allowing it to charge for the experimental procedures.
But last week, the clinic suddenly announced it had ceased carrying out operations due to what it described as legal changes in Germany....

The installed program's folder has the Tenorshare_Windows_Boot_Genius.ISO that you can burn however you like if there's burning software you like better. There are also several tools online to make a USB stick bootable using an ISO like this [ http://rufus.akeo.ie/ ], or make it bootable with a boot menu where you can choose which ISO you want to boot. Or several of the older Paragon giveaways [their latest backup app doesn't include this feature] let you create a bootable USB stick using an ISO — in some you have to replace the ISO that came with the Paragon app, & in others you can select which ISO you want to use.
Mention that other software for using the ISO on USB in case it works better for you, or just simply works if you have problems using Tenorshare's built-in function to put the ISO on a bootable USB device. USB sticks & hard drive housings can be tricky devils, especially if you're always broke like I am, and because of that buy the cheapest rather than the best. I've got USB sticks & drive housings that only work with some software.
I've got several sort of bootable mini-Windows setups [some WinPE, some not] that I made using tools I downloaded from reboot.pro — they can't supply the Windows setup discs, so basically you have to supply that disc or ISO, & run an app that does the work for you. The reason I've got several is that mileage varies — some don't work on some PCs/laptop, & some may work as CDs, some may work on USB sticks. I think *maybe* that's what's Marcus is up against with the Boot Genius disc stalling during startup, since we had a couple of PCs that would not run anything WinPE — they would however run LiveXP, which while not as nice & user friendly as Boot Genius, is still usable.

[@Ruslan] **IF** the hardware is very similar cloning the drive/partition might work, though you might want or need to update drivers in Windows. I had 3 AMD boards go bad (!!!) & kept the same win7 install throughout different brands/models of motherboards. If they're a LOT different, e.g. going AMD to Intel, re-install Windows & software, or perform a Windows Repair install, or use migration software [like some of Paragon's apps] that will go into the registry & delete driver entries so Windows will [hopefully] look for & find the needed drivers when it starts. I haven't tried this since XP — never tried it in Vista/7/8 — I've gone into Device Mgr. & removed drivers, then shut down Windows, not starting it again until it was hooked up to new hardware, & that worked.

You *might* get away putting Bitdefender into game mode, or set an exception for the Boot Genius setup file in the AV part, or move the AV slider all the way down or just turn AV off. In extreme cases I've had to go into Safe Mode, & if/when that didn't work, while in Safe Mode disable Bitdefender's AV service before rebooting back into win7.
Or… Install the free 7-zip if you don't have it already, then right-click WindowsBootGeniusFull.exe & from the 7-zip context menu select Extract to WindowsBootGeniusFull\ . Then look inside the sub-folder $COMMONFILES\ Windows Boot Genius\ for the ISO. Then unless you prefer something else, ImgBurn for CD, rufus for USB to make that ISO usable.

Something else that may or may not come into the picture with UEFI is how the motherboard &/or bios handle UEFI & GPT vs. the older style setups & MBR drives. We've had motherboards that when they saw a CD/DVD boot disc went into the older mode, & so you had to use USB. AFAIK there's no standard way to handle that sort of thing — it's up to the manufacturer — so just something to maybe be aware of in case you run into problems.

I found out why my Win 8.1 (64) laptop would not boot from the CD. UEFI Bios is for WIN 8 and will not boot anything else. I had to go into the BIOS and disable secure boot under the security tab and under Advanced – > System Configuration change UEFI Boot to CSM Boot. Boot Genius then booted off the DVD I had burned.
Downside is later I had to go back into the BIOS and undo everything I had done to be able to boot my WIN 8 system! Learned something :) Hope this helps some other frustrated WIN 8 users!

Program installs without a hitch, but when I run it to create a bootable 2 GB USB drive, it gives the message: "Copying Memdisk to usb…Failed!" I ran it multiple times, re-downloaded from both links, and tried it again multiple times with each download. but it's always the same error. Each time I'm offered the option to scan and fix the problem, and I do so. It always reports the problems were fixed and says the problem was that the actual size of Memdisk did not match its reported size. Although it successfully reformats the USB drive each time, I'm wondering if the error could indicate a bad USB drive since no one else has reported this problem.

Both the freebie and this discounted sale are v18.104.22.168 — they are both the exact same. The difference is, the freebie cannot be updated to future versions — this discounted sale can, when those future versions are released of course." When new versions are released, you will be able to download the new version if you purchase the free lifetime updates one. Contact Tenorshare for more details.

Folks, instead of bombarding Ashraf with tons of questions about any freebie released here all the time, why not read the developer's home page sometimes? ^_^

I actually bought this the last time you ran it. While IMO it doesn't completely live up to all of the promises made on the Tenorshare website, it is a nice tool(s) for the casual technician's PC-repair toolbox.
My advice is Get it. Even if you already have some similar set of utilities, you never know, one day this just might save your bacon (Mmm… Bacon). Thanks SoS and Tenorshare.

[@Martin] Oh, I see what you mean. You will see the five menus at the top once you burn to CD/DVD/USB and run the program from there. The program inside Windows is simply for creating that CD/DVD/USB — you can't fix any boot issues from inside Windows. hope that helps

When I open Windows Boot Genius I just have the menu on the left (How to create… and How to boot…), not the 5 menus on the top (Overview, Windows rescue…). Why?

I don't think I need to make any introduction to the sentiment that Sportmax has climbed the ranks to being my favourite label of the moment, and many more moments to come. Fashion Week sported several Sportmax moments for me – they're the garments I the feel most comfortable in, carry me from shows to class, and best jigsaw into my styling inclinations.
On this particular day, I was more than a little tempted to wear my leather pants backwards, as I had to Michael's show the night before, so that you could see more of my shiny shoe situation peeking out (Talisa and I were matching!). But bra-less half-belted sweater over skirt over backwards pants with heels seemed a little too onerous to handle. That and the hopeless discomfort of wearing one's pants back to front… have you ever tried it? Don't. It actually feels like you've grown a butt on your front.
Zips aside, I was surprisingly unconcerned by a completely boy-baggy ensemble, save the front panel of my sweater strapped to my waist. Usually, I would have opted for skinny pants (I've my eye on these All Saints ones for at least two weeks), but when life gives you the sickest pseudo-sport-jersey to ever have walked the earth, you take its strongest elements and match it with other pieces without people noticing. Devil's in the detail – I'm talking the side split on the knit carried by the white teepees on either side of the skirt, and the laminated stripes matching the elastic panels on my glorified trackpants. Then you try an palm a basketball, fail, and opt for opulently curly sunglasses instead. Moo, you genius.
And now, I have a two thousand word report to finish in nine hours.

(KTVI) – St. Louis firefighters have rescued a puppy that's trapped in a storm drain.
When the call came in at 10:30 Tuesday morning, little did firefighter Adam Solomon know that he'd spend the next three hours trying to save a dog that had fallen down the drain.
"It's not something we deal with normally," says St. Louis Firefighter Adam Solomon. "You don't train every day for a puppy in a well. It's more house fires and medical for humans."
But the two month old teacup Chihuahua named Storm was stuck.
"His name definitely fits him because he created all of this," says dog owner Cocoa Young.
Cocoa Young was visiting her brother in the 4900 block of Theodore in north St. Louis when the dog tried to jump over the open drain.
"We tried to bait him toward the hole so we could at least see him, with some bacon and dog food," says Solomon. "But he was pretty obstinate."
So the STLFD called MSD and the humane society for help and crews began pumping water to get the pup out.
"It's a very narrow space," says MSD spokesperson Lance LeComb. "It's the lateral line which connects the home's plumbing to the public sewer system. So it's a smaller pipe maybe four to six inches large."
"When the net didn't work we used a cinch," says Solomon. "I was afraid he'd float past us and into the actual sewer system and be gone."
But the diminutive dog tale had a happy ending thanks to the skillful hands of a bunch of heroes and a whole lot of patience with the puppy.
"I usually walk him in the doggy park but it was nice out, the sun came out and I just walked him and he tried to jump over the hole and he didn't make it," says Young.
After the ordeal, MSD put a cap on the cleanout pipe that leads to the lateral line and storm was off to the vet to be checked out.
"Thank you like, ten times thank you," says Young. "Thank you so much."

January 20, 2006
Baker County-- The odds of it happening are slim. According to the National Weather Service, the chances of being struck by lightning are one in 700,000. One South Georgia man is counting his blessings after lightning injured him.
The big sparks of electricity are a wonder to see but they often come out of nowhere. "We were working and next thing I know, bam!," says Mark Cody.
It was quick, dangerous and a big surprise for Mark Cody. "It wasn't even raining, no thunder, no lightning, no anything," says Cody. The sky and clouds were similar to many days when a storm or front is coming through. Mark and a co-worker were picking up old barbed-wire from a fence installed the week before.
"We knew the storm was coming," says Cody. Because of the coming storm, Mark worked quickly to pick up the wire along the fence. It was when he went to put the wire on the truck that everything changed. "I stepped on the trailer with my left foot and the only thing I remember is I couldn't get away from it. When I came to, I was in front of the truck but beside the door," says Cody.
"We heard one strike of lightning and probably about ten minutes later, he called and said he got struck," says 14-year-old Ethan Cody. Mark's son Ethan went and carried him to the ambulance because he couldn't feel.
"I was numb from the waist down and my right arm was numb and it took about three hours for the blood to get back to my feet," says Mark. Now back on his feet, he's a little sore but thankful. "I'm very, very lucky to be here. Why it happened like it happened, I don't know," says Cody.
But there's one thing he does know for sure. "The next it comes up a cloud, I won't take any chances at all. I can assure you that," says Cody. And it's a sure thing that he hopes lightning doesn't strike twice.
Cody suffered some muscular skeletal damage but says he's o.k. The other worker wasn't hurt. The National Weather Service says an average of 67 people are killed each year by lightning.

The Windows Phone 8 game was recently updated to version 1.0.05 that changes the game's title from Mossad to Super Agent. The change was brought about to avoid any confusion with the Israeli Mossad.

"Where are you living now?" we asked 53-year-old Tim Foster.
"Mostly in my car," Foster replied. "I stay with my brother sometimes."
But Foster's pride has him sleeping most nights in the front seat of his car, where he's been living since May.
"It's been hell for me," a frustrated Foster said.
All the Ike damage to his home meant Foster qualified for hurricane assistance funds doled out by Chambers County.
It took Foster a year to qualify which meant his damaged home would be knocked down and a new one would take its place.
The work started last May but as soon as it looked like the storm was about to clear, trouble reappeared.
"Maybe a couple of weeks ago, they ran into land problems, so they hired a surveyor," Foster said.
His family has owned this property for years, but questions surrounding the property lines have brought all work to this new home to a halt.
"They got to know exactly where the property line is before they can do anything else," Foster said.
"Do you think they should have taken care of that before they knocked your old house down?" we asked Foster.
"Yeah, that's what I'm saying," Foster replied. "Before you make me homeless, have everything straight before you tear my house down. That's what I think."
Foster said all he's getting from the contractor and the county is the run-around. With no sewer system, appliances or air-conditioning, the nearly-completed house is unlivable.
FOX 26 interviewed Foster on the fourth anniversary of Ike's landfall.
We wanted to know if he ever thought he would still be rocking and reeling from Ike's unexpected punches.
"No, no I didn't," Foster said. "It's been rough."
We contacted the Chambers County Economic Development Office in hopes of getting Tim Foster some answers, but we were told only the director could address Foster's situation and she won't be available until next week.
We'll stay on top of this and keep you posted.

City Reps and Economic Experts Fear EPISD Scandal Could Hurt Business
POSTED: Thursday, June 21, 2012 - 10:28pm
UPDATED: Friday, June 22, 2012 - 1:14pm
EL PASO, TX — Could scandal within EPISD hurt El Paso's economy by scaring off companies that might want to move here?
An economics expert told The El Paso City Council that one of the first questions a new business asks before they decide to call El Paso home is the quality of our public school system, and that worries at least one city representative.
"He said five minutes after a company comes into El Paso, they ask about the educational system and we certainly can't say that we can brag about ours. In fact, I'm embarrassed," said Rep. Ann Morgan Lilly.
Representative Ann Morgan Lilly says the way The El Paso School District is run means we need to make changes before it scares businesses away.
Cindy Ramos-Davison with The El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce says perspective companies frequently ask her about the El Paso school system. She tells them that El Paso might have corrupt district leaders, but we have quality teachers in the classroom.
"We have wonderful young talent in El Paso, just wonderful, waiting to be molded and moved forward and go through the channels of education opportunity, and get away from all of this fighting and bureaucracy," said Ramos-Davison.
The Greater El Paso Chamber of Commerce says when businesses ask about El Paso schools, they don't even attempt to defend former Superintendent Lorenzo Garcia.
With recent troubles, Ramos-Davison says EPISD is one more challenge to convince businesses to move to El Paso.
"From my prospective, I've always had to defend our border community about just being a border community," said Ramos-Davison.
EPISD Board President Isela Castañon-Williams says the district was facing problems before she took office, and she is ready to fix them.
"I'm prepared and I'm committed to standing in the gaps. I'm doing my service as a school board member knowing that this is going to be a very difficult road for us, but I will need your support," said Castañon-Williams.
The Greater El Paso Chamber of Commerce also says they will turn in a list of recommendations to EPISD next week on how the chamber feels the district could regain the community's trust.
Comments News Comments
I am so tired of hearing EPISD Board President Isela Williams say that she is ready to fix the problems at EPISD. Where the heck has she been! She & the rest of the board have FAILED their responsibility to the children & the city of El Paso. What is she trying so hard to hold onto? If she had tried half as hard at knowing what was going on right under her nose then Garcia would of been fired a long time ago. She, the board & the interim supeintendent need to get out of the way & resign NOW

Time to fork the FSF
If you've read this blog for any period of time, you would have noticed, at the end of the blog, a button for the Free Software Foundation marking me as Member No. 5030.
It is no longer there, and with good reason.
So today I resigned my membership in the Free Software Foundation, so I am no longer Member No. 5030. I did so because Richard Stallman no longer speaks for me after making a completely ludicrous, tactless and heartless remark regarding the passing of Steve Jobs.
You can read the three-paragraph post here. There has also been commentary about it by Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols here and by Adrian Kingsley Hughes here.
Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier probably wrote the best commentary on the issue here.
Richard Stallman crafted an outstanding software license and wrote a outstanding treatise on free software in "Free Software, Free Society," of which I have bought multiple copies and have given to people I thought would benefit from reading it.
Few have had the huevos to publicly call him out on things he's done wrong or on miscues for which he is responsible, and those who have usually have faced a barrage of criticism from free software "advocates" who've attacked them with a zeal, ironically, reserved for Apple fanboys and fangirls. But the fact remains that Stallman's dogmatic attitude and peculiar behavior has been an anchor weighing down a significant degree of progress the free software movement could have made to date.
One could argue, "OK, so he made a mistake with the Jobs thing. Give him some latitude."
No. Not anymore. This is not the first time this has happened. From the GNU/Linux insistence to the "Emacs virgin" incident to a litany of other miscues that display a clear lack of leadership skills, it's time people stopped saying, "Oh, that's just Stallman being Stallman" and hold him accountable.
So I think it behooves thoughtful free software advocates to seriously consider forking the Free Software Foundation, and create a new organization; a more flexible, more responsible organization that marries today's technological realities to the possibilities and necessities — especially the necessities — that the free software paradigm offers society.
Call me a heretic if you like, and if you want to debate this rationally, I'm up for that, too.
In the meantime, I will keep advocating for free software as I always have. However, I will do so now independently and not as a member of the FSF.

Sometimes the best response is a shrug
This week there was a sort of back-and-forth starting with Brian Proffitt in one blog item about Richard Stallman's somewhat verbose Guardian article and a response by Bruce Byfield in a blog item about how he notices that lately people are picking on the Free Software Foundation. This kind of tete-a-tete is normally custom made for my participation, and last night I had thought about jumping in with both feet and an arm.
But you know what? Never mind. Just never mind. I had a whole blog item written last night. I went to bed. I woke up this morning and read my item. Then I deleted it. It's just another "fuel, meet fire" situation that, despite my standard-issue remarkable and compelling prose (ahem), would have just removed focus from more important issues and would have created ill feelings.
So I'm just going to shrug, say "Ho-kay," and write about something else.
Before I do, however, I will say that I do think Brian is right when he says that the Guardian article is another FSF broadside against open source, and that I don't agree with Bruce's arguments that the FSF is being picked on. Let's look more importantly at the latter: The FSF does a lot of great things on behalf of software freedom, and does so with remarkably few resources. For this we are truly thankful. On the other hand, the FSF tragically has made an exact science of cultivating a "my way or highway" attitude (bring up dissenting viewpoints, as I have, and see how far you go), which makes its prevalent dogmatic stance a formula for organizational rigor mortis. For this reason alone (though there are others I won't go into here), the FSF hand-delivers invitations for criticism — some of it deserved, some not — rather than than being victims of attacks for whatever reason externally. For all the great things he has done, Richard Stallman is largely responsible for this culture of dogma and rigidity, and when some — not me, but others — equate the FSF to being the FOSS equivalent of the Taliban, I'd like to argue against that comparison but, honestly, I really can't.
But never mind.
Let's go from one train wreck to another, shall we?
One of the items that is high on the tech radar today is the fact that Hewlett-Packard is about to push Leo Apotheker off the top of the building (the sentiments of some board members, it's safe to say) and replace him with — I kid you not — Meg Whitman.
Meg Whitman. I would have prefered Slim Whitman — link to Wikipedia provided so the kids here don't have to Google him. So while you read who he is, get off of my lawn.
This Whitman-for-Apotheker swap has been described as a "hangover solution" in one ZDNet blog item, a sort of "hair of the dog" after an all-night bender where the first question is, "I did . . . WHAT?!" And the best decisions are usually not made when you're hung over. Hence we have Meg Whitman waiting in the wings when, according to people at HP, they have a very capable CEO choice in house with Ann Livermore.
While it would probably be best for HP to keep someone in house at the helm — that's one vote for you, Ann, over Meg — whomever takes over hopefully will say, with one of their first utterances in charge, "Remember what we said about dumping our hardware and WebOS? We take that back."
That would be nice, but on the whole that, too, probably deserves another shrug.

Next up: OSCON. Get there if you can, and give them my regards because I can't make it this year :-(
A wide assortment of issues and items have cropped up in the last several days, all of which are newsworthy and most of which cry out for comment. On the latter, that's what I do. After all, they don't call it "commentary" for nothing.
So let's take a look at some of these digital news blurbs, like
RMS: Just say no to the Cloud: For once, I am completely and unequivocally behind the man behind the GNU. Richard Stallman wrote an article appearing in the electronic version of Der Speigel outlining the dangers of so-called cloud computing. It's fairly simple — your data, held remotely, is not really your data since you don't have possession of the drive that physically holds it. Yep, call me "old school" about this, and I'll thank you for it.
But why is it in Orlando? The release schedule for Ubuntu 12.04 is out and it looks like the UDS — that Ubuntu Developer Summit to the unenlightened — will take place at the end of October or early November, in Orlando, Fla., as usual. Why? Disney World? Who knows?
Who's on first? Though not a news item per se, Carla Schroder wrote an excellent piece on Linux.com about how to find out who and what is on your network. The Linux.com tutorials and "weekend projects" are generally top notch and very educational, and this one in particular takes one through how to go about doing some router spelunking.
Meanwhile back in the Sunshine State . . .: Florida is getting a lot of attention. Red Hat is holding its North America Partner Conference on Oct. 25-27 in Miami. That's about 240 miles south of Orlando, where the UDS will be taking place about the same time, possibly. It's a straight shot down the Florida Turnpike, if you're interested. According to the VAR Guy, "the event signals a shift for Red Hat, which previously lumped partners and customers together at the annual Red Hat Summit."
Now if you'll excuse me, I have an appointment to fiddle with a newly installed version of CrunchBang.

I got this idea from comments made in another thread. I think we would all agree that wide receiver and defensive tackle are our deepest positions, so tell me who you think should start next year AND why. Details after the jump.
- Mike Patterson played in 15 games, starting 14. He produced 30 tackles, 8 assists, 2 sacks, and 1 fumble recovered.
- Antonio Dixon played in 15 games, starting 10. He produced 25 tackles, 5 assists, 2 sacks and 2 passes defended.
- Broderick Bunkley played in 14 games, starting 5. He produced 17 tackles, 3 assists, and 1 pass defended.
- Trevor Laws played in 15 games, starting in only 1. But he littered the stat sheet with 13 tackles, 2 assists, 4 sacks, 1 interception, 5 passes defended, and 1 fumble forced and recovered.
The "Eye" Test:
- Patterson had another consistent and underrated system, which is surprising considering he was probably best drafted for a 1-gap system. At USC, he had 30 tackles for a loss and 15.5 sacks and displayed amazing quickness off the LOS when rushing the passer. I think that of our current DT's, he actually stands to gain the most from a shift to a 1-gap system as it would allow him to get back to what he does best.
- At first glance, you would think that Dixon stands to lose the most from the switch. Because of his size and incredible strength, he is best suited in a 2-gap system or even possibly as a 3-4 nose tackle. However, stopping at his size does not tell the whole story. Dixon has a tremendous burst and plays with great pad level. He also shows excellent technique that, when combined with his brute strength, make him a tough person to single block. Even if he doesn't get to the QB, he is always a disruption because of his ability to drive the OG into the pocket of the QB. Comparisons to Haynesworth (on the field) are, in my opinion, fair and warranted and he has the athleticism, pedigree, and desire to excel.
- Broderick Bunkley's eye test is one of the most deceiving of all the defensive tackles. While he lost his job (after injury) to Dixon, I think that it was more a function of Dixon's play and our early struggles against the run then to Bunkley's play. When healthy, Bunkley is probably our best two-way defensive tackle as he is really good against the run and when rushing the passer, just not necessarily excellent at either. I think with his speed and quickness, he has a chance to be return as a starter in Washburn's system.
- Trevor Laws had to have a great 2010 season and he didn't disappoint. Easily our most productive tackle despite less playing time than the other three, he consistently made game changing plays. Excellent explosion off of the line of scrimmage, great use of hands, and great closing speed are the reasons he gets more sacks than the other three. Whether he is starting or not, he could still be more productive than the other three DTs in a 1-gap system.
SYNOPSIS: I think ALL of our DT's performed their assigned duties excellently. In my opinion, we have 4 starting caliber defensive tackles with completely different skill sets...but strangely, all seem to fit a 1-gap system very well because of their ability to rush the passer. Of the four, you would have to say Dixon is the most obvious 2-gap player, however he showed tremendous pass rushing technique and ability last year.

As Buster Olney stated in a recent piece, the Red Sox may look to replace David Ortiz if he struggles again in the first half like he did last year.
Certainly, the struggles of Big Papi have a lot to say about the success of the team. Like we profiled earlier, David Ortiz is undeniably on the downswing of his career. In what should be the last year of his contract, Ortiz will likely have difficulty living up to his $12.5 million price tag.
The plan outlined by Olney involves a specific scenario under which Ortiz repeats his 2009 first-half struggles, leading to a trade of Ortiz, acquiring a catcher and moving Victor Martinez to DH.
Quite the series of moves.
The first obstacle to any such move involves Ortiz underperforming to such a degree that he repeats his putrid April and May, in which he hit just one home run in 178 at-bats on his way to a .185/.289/.286 overall line. Luckily for the Sox, he didn't finish that way – mostly due to a blistering June where he hit 7 home runs in 75 at-bats with a .320/.409/.653 line.
Could Ortiz repeat the awful production? Certainly. Though it's more likely that he maintains the adjustments he made to post a decent 2nd half of .258/.350/.516.
Still, with the question posed, it must be answered. Should Ortiz struggle again, does he deserve to hit the pine? Or, is it a prudent move to switch Victor Martinez out of the catcher's role to DH?
Quite simply – or, maybe, quite complicated – is the added set of circumstances that would accompany this scenario.
First, with the swollen payroll the Sox are operating under – and, especially considering their urge to remain under the luxury tax limit – it would be unlikely that the Sox would be willing to eat a large portion of Ortiz's salary.
Though the move has become quite routine over the past couple seasons – Julio Lugo being the prime example – eating nearly $12 million to send out a potentially average designated hitter out the door just isn't feasible. Especially given the fact that no other team would pay any significant portion of his contract should he be struggling so mightily, the Sox would have to be prepared to eat his entire contract. Not the most appetizing meal.
In addition, the Sox would need to find a new starting caliber catcher that can replace the production of Victor Martinez at catcher. Though Martinez would be a definite upgrade at DH under this scenario, the cost to acquire a catcher to rival Martinez's abilities would be unnecessarily costly – in both prospects and salary.
In all likelihood, such a trade would not go one-for-one as a failing Ortiz would have trouble netting any return player in such a deal – let alone a quality catcher. Likewise, to acquire said catcher, the team would have to dole out significant prospects to attain such a player. Given that they would not be able to acquire a player with fewer than 5 years of major league service time, they will also add to the team's bottom line – further putting pressure on the luxury tax.
All told, it seems unlikely that the Sox would be able to maneuver trading Ortiz, acquiring a quality catcher, and moving V-Mart to DH. The finances and the cost for prospects don't add up. This would leave the Sox with two options – to either keep Ortiz or to acquire a retread bat to supplant Ortiz as DH.
Keeping Ortiz is certainly a viable option in that he has proven that he can make adjustments at the plate to declining physical skills and health. The change in his approach was seen in the correction of his overall line after May. Still, any further decline in bat speed could result in another prolonged slump – one that the team cannot afford next season.
Another, more sensible option would be to acquire a retread-type bat who is having a rebound year or to platoon Jeremy Hermida.
One such option could be to trade for an inexpensive outfield bat from a non-contender to take the place of the DH. One that comes to mind who fits this mold is Rick Ankiel. Signed to a 1-year $3+ million deal ( with escalators to take the total overall to about $6 million) would be a perfect mid-season trade candidate.
The Royals, well aware that their season has little, if any, chance of a post-season appearance would be more than happy to part with Ankiel for a couple non-elite prospects. A quality bat coming over to Boston, the move would also cost considerably less in the overall value of prospects traded. In addition, it would allow Victor Martinez to stay behind the plate, where his bat is elite – as opposed to simply average as a designated hitter.
A platoon of Jeremy Hermida and Bill Hall could work as well. Hermida can be expected to succeed on the left-handed side of the platoon – providing an overall production line similar in value to David Ortiz's 2009 aggregate line. Should Bill Hall remember how to hit lefties, it could be a very valuable arrangement.
In the end, the situation is a bit of a toss-up, as the Boston faithful can reasonably expect Ortiz to continue to perform at some kind of acceptable level. Still, there's no reason not to prepare for what may lie in store for the team – just don't encourage moving Victor over to DH. Sure, he's a great hitter, but his bat is really only an asset when he plays catcher.
The in-house option to replace him would be Varitek, but that would be a hefty upset to ever occur given how poorly Varitek has played the last few seasons. He's the backup now and won't be confused with a starter anytime soon.
As always, the Boston Red Sox will need an excellent offensive performance out of David Ortiz should it expect to be a true contender. Given his 2009 season, we're all wondering whatever happened to the David Ortiz who slugged 54 homers back in '06. Such is the fickle, cyclical nature of professional athletics. Hopefully Big Papi has one more peak year left in him, instead of a deep valley.

Trademarks are one of the most valuable assets of a business. Think Coca-Cola, PayPal and iPad, and you immediately think of a company, product, brand, experience, reputation, solution and public goodwill. Here we discuss what a trademark is, how to select a trademark, how to establish rights to a trademark and where to turn for additional help. Note: I am not an attorney. The information provided below is based on experience and extensive research and should not be construed as official legal advice. Before proceeding with a name, symbol or word on a local or global basis, consult with an international intellectual property (IP) attorney.
What is a trademark?
A trademark is any word, symbol, name or device that explains or differentiates the source of the service or goods of one party from those of others.
A trademark or service mark can be a slogan (e.g., ours: "We Make Going Global Easy®", as shown), logo, word, stylized package design or any other distinctive element that serves to indicate an original source, service or good.
For example, Kleenex is a word mark for tissues, the Diet Pepsi design is a logo for a soft drink, and "We Make Going Global Easy®" is a slogan for international traders.
Under certain circumstances, sounds, color combinations, smells and shapes can be trademarked.
How to select a trademark
Got a word? Think it's catchy and descriptive? Well, rethink the descriptive part because terms that are merely descriptive of products and services can be complicated to protect as marks. The more descriptive, the more difficult it can be to stop competitors from using it.
Before using a new mark, conduct a search and consult with an international trademark attorney. You don't want to get started with a big marketing campaign that requires a sizable upfront investment only to find out later that there is a conflict with the mark you are about to use.
Your search should be done based on how and where you intend to use the good or service.
How to establish rights to a trademark
Trademarks are established either through registration or use. In some countries, using a mark can establish common law rights to the mark (be sure to check). In many countries, the first registrant of a mark acquires exclusive rights.
Caution: Beware of others registering a trademark for your product or service in a foreign market. For example, let's say you are about to export a product that you have obtained a trademark for in the United States but nowhere else in the world. You appoint a distributor of the product in Indonesia. He/she, unbeknownst to you, applies for a trademark for your product in their country. Guess what? You've got a problem. Now you must negotiate to obtain a license, pay a royalty on sales to the foreign distributor or buy back the intellectual property rights that have been registered there.
And by the way, it works both ways. You could apply for a trademark for the Indonesia firm's product in the United States provided they have not already done so.
You register a trademark through the national trademark office in the country or region where you wish to protect the mark. In the United States, for example, you'd register with The United States Patent and Trademark Office (an agency of the Department of Commerce: http://www.uspto.gov/). You can conduct searches, file online for an application and even watch a "how-to" video on trademarks.
After a trademark application is filed, an examiner in the trademark office examines it and may raise questions about it. Once the examiner is satisfied that the trademark meets all necessary requirements for registration, the trademark application is published by the trademark office.
Trademarks last forever provided you renew the registration periodically. You can lose your rights to a trademark if you stop using it with no intention of using it again, which is known as "abandonment."
How much does a trademark cost?
For a schedule of current fees (they vary widely based on trademark application, trademark search, trademark international application, etc.) from The United States Patent and Trademark Office, visit: http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/ac/qs/ope/fee092611.htm
Is a trademark application valid globally?
The simple short answer is no. The trademark is limited to the country in which you obtain the trademark, so you will have to file individual trademark applications in each country where protection is sought. There are exceptions to the rule whereby you can apply for a single trademark covering multiple countries, but you need to be knowledgeable about the process and the particular provisions, so consulting with an international IP attorney is prudent.
Two key places to turn for additional trademark guidance
Based in New York City, the International Trademark Association (INTA: http://www.inta.org) is a not-for-profit membership association that claims to be a one-stop resource for worldwide trademark law. With offices in Shanghai, Brussels and Washington, DC, and representatives in Geneva and Mumbai, INTA is dedicated to the support and advancement of trademarks and related intellectual property as elements of fair and effective commerce.
Founded in 1878, INTA spotted a need for an organization "to protect and promote the rights of trademark owners, to secure useful legislation and to give aid and encouragement to all efforts for the advancement and observance of trademark rights."
INTA is a valuable network of powerful global brands. Members of INTA find value in the association's global trademark research, policy development, and education and training.
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), http://www.wipo.int, is the United Nations agency dedicated to the use of intellectual property as a means of stimulating innovation and creativity.
This article should not serve as a panacea on global trademarks, but it's a start. There are other terms, conditions and processes you should know about before adopting a mark. More importantly, like with any new endeavor, do your homework. Then consult with an international trademark attorney.

phendimetrazine (cont.)
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking phendimetrazine (Adipost, Bontril PDM, Bontril Slow Release, Melfiat)?
Do not use phendimetrazine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects.
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to phendimetrazine, or if you have:
To make sure you can safely take phendimetrazine, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
It is not known whether phendimetrazine will harm an unborn baby. Do not take phendimetrazine without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant.
It is also not known whether phendimetrazine passes into breast milk. Do not take phendimetrazine without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I take phendimetrazine (Adipost, Bontril PDM, Bontril Slow Release, Melfiat)?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Phendimetrazine should be taken only for a short time, such as a few weeks.
Phendimetrazine is usually taken once daily. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Take phendimetrazine on an empty stomach, 30 to 60 minutes before your morning meal.
Do not crush, chew, break, or open the extended-release capsule. Swallow it whole. Breaking or opening the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
You should lose at least 4 pounds during the first 4 weeks of taking phendimetrazine and eating a low calorie diet. Tell your doctor if you do not lose at least 4 pounds after taking the medication for 4 weeks.
Do not stop using phendimetrazine suddenly after long-term use, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to avoid withdrawal symptoms when you stop using phendimetrazine.
Never take more of this medication than is prescribed for you. Too much phendimetrazine could be very dangerous to your health. Talk with your doctor if you have increased hunger or if you otherwise think the medication is not working properly. Taking more of this medication will not make it more effective and can cause serious, life-threatening side effects.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
