School History
Brearley's founding Headmaster, Samuel A. Brearley, Jr., graduated from Harvard in 1871 and worked as a private tutor until 1880, when he went to study at Balliol College, Oxford. He came to New York in 1884, when it was commonly thought that intellectual activity "took the bloom from ladies," and opened a school to provide young women with an education comparable to that available to their brothers. An early graduate of the School later wrote that this "first intellectual experience had a novelty and excitement that it is almost impossible for a person born in the twentieth century to understand."
When Mr. Brearley died of typhoid in 1886, the School consisted of one hundred twenty pupils and a faculty of twenty. James G. Croswell, a Greek professor from Harvard, served as the next Headmaster until his death in 1915. Since 1926, Brearley has been led by women Heads, most recently Millicent Carey McIntosh, Jean Fair Mitchell, Evelyn J. Halpert, Dr. Priscilla M. Winn Barlow and Dr. Stephanie J. Hull.
Our Buildings
The School soon outgrew its original quarters on East 45th Street and moved first to West 44th Street and then in 1912 to Park Avenue and 61st Street, where it added a primary program. Brearley commissioned a new building on 83rd Street in 1929, and during its almost eighty years at this location has expanded its library, art and science facilities, added two stories to the building and built a Field House on East 87th Street containing regulation-sized basketball and volleyball courts and other facilities.
The School Seal
The Brearley seal was designed in 1890 and is thought to have appeared in print for the first time on the cover of the school catalogue for 1890–1891. From 1899 though the early part of the twentieth century, the seal was sometimes used in the scroll-like form in which it appears on the Brearley flag (designed by the Class of 1899) and on the portrait that hangs in the Assembly Hall of James G. Croswell, the second Headmaster of the School. The round seal was slightly redesigned in 1946, and the current version, commemorating the School's founding in 1884, was used for the first time in the 1955–1956 school year.
- An earlier version that appears on the Brearley flag
- The Seal of the
Brearley School
The seal incorporates images of the lamp of truth, the book of knowledge and three beavers. Some believe the beavers have the same heraldic origin as those on the seal of the City of New York, possibly to mark the importance of the beaver fur trade to the economy of early Manhattan.
"By Truth and Toil"
The motto on the Brearley seal, "By Truth and Toil," is also the name of the school song, written in 1901 by faculty member Annie Winsor Allen and originally set to the music of a song composed by Franz Schubert, "The Linden Tree." In 1956, with Mrs. Allen's enthusiastic approval, Mr. Louie White, head of the Music Department at the time, composed new music for the song that was less somber and more in keeping with the text. "By Truth and Toil" is traditionally sung at ceremonial school events.
Brearley Mascots
- The Brearley beaver appears in many of the pen and ink drawings of life at the School by Eileen Evans, who taught staging and carpentry to Brearley students from the early 1930s to 1979.
The beaver owes its role as Brearley mascot to its inclusion on the school seal. While many schools have the beaver as a mascot, few have carried on this tradition as proudly as the Brearley School. A life-size "Beverly Beaver" cheers on Brearley teams at varsity games and Homecoming, and whimsical line drawings of beavers have been featured in many Brearley publications since the 1930s.
Each class in the Middle and Upper School also has its own mascot (see list below). The first class mascot, "Jimbo the Elephant" is believed to have been purchased in 1915 and possibly named in honor of James Croswell, who had died that year after serving for twenty-eight years as Brearley's Headmaster. The same Jimbo is now the mascot of the current Class VIII. At the annual Mascot Assembly in May, a tradition that dates back to at least 1923, the Senior Class passes its mascot to the students in Class IV, and both classes sing about their mascot. Brearley students who recently watched a 1934 film that included the Mascot Assembly enjoyed seeing how little it had changed.
- Beverly Beaver can often be found cheering for Brearley athletic teams.

Need help in picking a Bluetooth mouse.
I live in Mumbai, India and own a Sony Vaio VCCB15FG notebook. I'm unhappy with its trackpad as it's a bit too sensitive for my tastes. I've had near nightmarish experiences with it just trying to maximize a window without accidentally shutting it. I've tried everything, from altering mouse settings to reinstalling drivers. Nothing seems to make my trackpad more usable. I've now decided to purchase a Bluetooth mouse so that I can get to tasks requiring some precision, such as video editing, which I was staying away from till now because my trackpad made it impossible to do them.
I have a budget of Rs. 1500, but if something good is within touching distance of this then I could persuade my Dad to let me stretch a little bit more. I searched online and found these models:
1. I've never heard of Forward before. Are they good?
2. I've heard of Verbatim and Amkette before, but only in relation to optical discs. How are they with mice?
3. I have a feeling warranty should matter a lot to me. Amkette and Logitech offer a 3yr warranty. Forward and Verbatim only offer it for 1yr.
4. Not that it's a deal-breaker, but my notebook is black with a bluish tinge and I don't want my mouse to look out of odds in comparison. The Logitech one not only looks the prettiest, but seems like matching the notebook the most too.
Which one would you recommend? Is there any model (slightly above Rs. 1500 is still acceptable) that you'd suggest instead? Right now I'm leaning heavily toward the Logitech. Please help!

Check out Merchant Advance Express at indeed.com You can also visit their BPortal.com page by clicking here!
In this current economic climate, it is not exactly unheard of that many businesses are having a hard time keeping up. This is especially applicable to small and new businesses that require cash in hand most of the time. Without cash at the ready, businesses will have a difficult time with various aspects like upkeep, supplies and equipment acquisition, and expansion. One can turn to a bank for a loan but such options are known to have very low approval rates and stringent requirements. So for an average small business owner, a bank loan is simply not an option.
You can subscribe to the Merchant Advance Express Facebook page by clicking the picture below!
If you are someone who has been turned away by the bank, then perhaps you can use another option. Why not go to a merchant cash advance provider like Merchant Advance Express? Here are some situations where you could benefit from a merchant cash advance.
You require funds to purchase inventory in large quantities
Purchasing inventory in large quantities can frequently give you amazing quantity discounts, however it's not necessarily simple to front the larger amount of money for such a considerable quantity of product. In this case, a merchant cash advance can help. You'll can get the products for a reduced rate and will be capable of paying the loan back promptly with the income produced by the sale of the products. It's really a win-win situation.
You operate a seasonal business
Plenty of small enterprises operate on a seasonal basis. During summer season, ice cream retailers and AC repair businesses are sure to be busy. However, what happens during other seasons of the year like winter? Odds are these enterprises are likely to see a decreased number of customers. A good seasonal business proprietor looking for cash would look for a merchant cash provide like Merchant Advance Express since the payment would only mean a percentage of the day-to-day credit sales. A poor sales day or season is only equated reduced payments.
You've got substandard credit
No one is perfect, we know that. However the reality is that every loan provider will need to look at your credit track record before shelling out the loan. The great news is because repayments for an advance are obtained straight from the daily credit card sales, the requirements to be eligible are considerably lessened than many standard loans. So if you have a less than stellar credit record, a merchant cash advance is perfect for you.
If you think your business is struggling and need some additional inspiration to succeed this video is for you!

More than halfway trough the lacrosse season, Herndon (6, 4) came into Monday night's match against The Knights of O'Connell (4, 11) with a winning record. The new look Hornet Coach Dave Baggetta formed needed a win to stay above .500 and improve its chance at a low seed come playoff time.
Herndon did improve that chance behind an onslaught of fourth quarter goals to stave of the Knights and earn its sixth win of the season, 12-7.
Ten minutes remained in the match when O'Connell grabbed the momentum and scored to tie it up at seven. The Hornets didn't panic but instead grew aggressive. Herndon's Alex Wilson led his offense on an aggressive attack scoring two goals to complete his hat trick, while his teammates added three more for a total of five goals in eight minutes.
"Over the last couple games we have wanted to have better second halves," Wilson said. "We wanted to show a complete full game and I think that's what we did today.
"Everyone's trying to get better every day and its all coming together really well right now."
Wilson, Matt Stevens and Jonathan Scimeca all scored hat tricks for Herndon in what began as a tight knit game. O'Connell struck first blood with 8:19 left in the opening quarter. However, Herndon bit back just eight seconds later when Brad Mank won the face-off, bolted down the middle of the field and drilled one past the keeper to tie the game. Mank scored again 57 seconds later to give his Hornets the momentum.
The Knights would tie the game twice but the Hornets denied O'Connell from taking the lead again.
Mike Newell and Dean Mamatas were stellar on defense for the Hornets. Newell led his defensemen in ground balls, cleared the ball brilliantly and flew down the sideline on several occasions to set up his attackers for scoring opportunities. Mamatas kept the Knights in check, literally with heavy hitting and pokes for several turnovers.
"When we get tested we know not to freak," Newell said. "The coach teaches us to respond calmly and that's what we do in the games."
"We've definitely grown closer as a team, which will probably help us during the playoffs."
Herndon headed into halftime leading 6-4 but O'Connell get its second wind and outscore the Hornets 3-1 in the third quarter to tie the game at seven with less than eleven minutes to play. That's when Herndon shifted into fifth gear and blew the game wide open.
"I feel like the guys have made an effort to improve on the things we've asked them to," Coach Baggetta said. "I'm really happy with how they've grown but still think there are areas we need to work on."
The coach added that he has liked what he has seen from his senior defender but feels he can become an even stronger player.
"Mike's [Newell] done a really nice job with senior leadership for us and improving through the course of the year," Baggetta said. "He's good on ground balls and clearing down field. There's still some individual things were working on with Mike we think he can improve but we've been happy with Mike's progress."
Herndon plays at home against Chantilly on April 29 at 7:15 p.m.

From one of our most renowned historians, Civilization is the definitive history of Western civilization's rise to global dominance-and the "killer applications" that made this improbable ascent possible.
The rise to global predominance of Western civilization is the single most important historical phenomenon of the past five hundred years. All over the world, an astonishing proportion of people now work for Western-style companies, study at Western-style universities, vote for Western-style governments, take Western medicines, wear Western clothes, and even work Western hours. Yet six hundred years ago the petty kingdoms of Western Europe seemed unlikely to achieve much more than perpetual internecine warfare. It was Ming China or Ottoman Turkey that had the look of world civilizations. How did the West overtake its Eastern rivals? And has the zenith of Western power now passed?
In Civilization: The West and the Rest, bestselling author Niall Ferguson argues that, beginning in the fifteenth century, the West developed six powerful new concepts that the Rest lacked: competition, science, the rule of law, consumerism, modern medicine, and the work ethic. These were the "killer applications" that allowed the West to leap ahead of the Rest, opening global trade routes, exploiting newly discovered scientific laws, evolving a system of representative government, more than doubling life expectancy, unleashing the Industrial Revolution, and embracing a dynamic work ethic. Civilization shows just how fewer than a dozen Western empires came to control more than half of humanity and four fifths of the world economy.
Yet now, Ferguson argues, the days of Western predominance are numbered-not because of clashes with rival civilizations, but simply because the Rest have now downloaded the six killer apps we once monopolized-while the West has literally lost faith in itself.
Civilization does more than tell the gripping story of the West's slow rise and sudden demise; it also explains world history with verve, clarity, and wit. Controversial but cogent and compelling, Civilization is Ferguson at his very best.
"A dazzling history of Western ideas" –The Economist
"Mr. Ferguson tells his story with characteristic verve and an eye for the felicitous phrase." – Wall Street Journal
"[W]ritten with vitality and verve… a tour de force." –Boston Globe
"This is sharp. It feels urgent. Ferguson, with a properly financially literate mind, twists his knife with great literary brio…Ferguson ends by suggesting the biggest threat is not China but ourselves – our cowardice, drawn from ignorance, even stupidity, about our past. He is right. But as he shows himself, that can be fixed." –The Financial Times

St. Albans, Vermont - October 29, 2009
Prosecutors say no one will face criminal charges in connection with the death of a Vermont inmate who was denied her medication.
We have now learned that a communications break-down by the private corporation that provides health care services to Vermont's prisons led to the death of Ashley Ellis, but prosecutors say they can not prove it was a crime.
The story began in August when 20-year-old Ashley Ellis was found dead in her cell at the women's prison in St. Albans, just a day and a half after she began serving a month long sentence for gross negligent operation of a motor vehicle.
The Vermont medical examiner later ruled that the 87-pound Ellis died, because she had been denied prescription medication for her severe eating disorder.
But after a month of considering the police investigative reports, Vermont prosecutors have determined there is no criminal intent and no criminal negligence, so no individuals will be charged criminally.
"The Department of Corrections reviewed the medical information, we passed that information along to our medical provider. Now it appears that they did not follow through on delivering her medications," said Vermont Corrections Commissioner Andy Pallito.
Based on information derived from several sources, Channel 3 has learned that Ellis' family provided her health records to prison officials several days before she checked into the St. Albans prison to begin her sentence on Friday, August 14th. The records were turned over to Prison Health Services, the private contractor that provides prison health care.
On Saturday the 15th, a doctor for Prison Health Services ordered the nurse at St. Albans to give her, her medication. But there was none in the prison. The nurse called the second shift nurse and left a cell phone message to get the drug at a local drug store and bring it to prison. She did not, and 18 hours later Ellis was dead.
"I don't know what the reason was, but in the end she did not get her medication," said Pallito.
Corrections Commissioner Andy Pallito says the death was tragic, but corrections personnel were not responsible, but investigators have determined state prison personnel were not responsible.
An attorney retained by Ashley Ellis's declined comment explaining that he had not yet had a chance to discuss the prosecutor's decision with her family.
We also contacted Prison Health Services for a reaction, but the company also declined comment.

As part of its responsibilities, DHS is required to coordinate cyber attack exercises to strengthen public and private incident response capabilities. One major exercise program, called Cyber Storm, is a large-scale simulation of multiple concurrent cyber attacks involving the federal government, states, foreign governments, and private industry. To date, DHS has conducted Cyber Storm exercises in 2006 and 2008. GAO agreed to (1) identify the lessons that DHS learned from the first Cyber Storm exercise, (2) assess DHS's efforts to address the lessons learned from this exercise, and (3) identify key participants' views of their experiences during the second Cyber Storm exercise. To do so, GAO evaluated documentation of corrective activities and interviewed federal, state, and private sector officials.
As a result of its first Cyber Storm exercise, in February 2006, DHS identified eight lessons that had significant impact across sectors, agencies, and exercise participants. These lessons involved improving (1) the interagency coordination groups; (2) contingency planning, risk assessment, and roles and responsibilities; (3) integration of incidents across infrastructures; (4) access to information; (5) coordination of response activities; (6) strategic communications and public relations; (7) processes, tools, and technology; and (8) the exercise program. While DHS has demonstrated progress in addressing the lessons it learned from its first Cyber Storm exercise, more remains to be done to fully address the lessons. In the months following its first exercise, DHS identified 66 activities that address one or more of the lessons, including hosting meetings with key cyber response officials from foreign, federal, and state governments and private industry, and refining their operating procedures. To date, DHS has completed a majority of these activities. However, key activities have not yet been completed. Specifically, DHS identified 16 activities as ongoing and 7 activities as planned for the future. Further, while DHS has identified completion dates for its planned activities, it has not identified completion dates for its ongoing activities. Until DHS schedules and completes its remaining activities, the agency risks conducting subsequent exercises that repeat the lessons learned during the first exercise. Commenting on their experiences during the second Cyber Storm exercise, in March 2008, participants observed both progress and continued challenges in building a comprehensive national cyber response capability. Their observations addressed several key areas, including the value and scope of the exercise, roles and responsibilities, public relations, communications, the exercise infrastructure, and the handling of classified information. For example, many participants reported that their organizations found value in the exercise because it led them to update their contact lists and improve their response capabilities. Other participants, however, reported the need for clarifying the role of the law enforcement community during a cyber incident and for improving policies governing the handling of classified information so that key information can be shared. Many of the challenges identified during Cyber Storm II were similar to challenges identified during the first exercise.
Status Legend:
- Review Pending
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendation for Executive Action
Recommendation: Given the importance of continuously improving cyber exercises, the Secretary of Homeland Security should direct the Assistant Secretary for Cybersecurity and Communications to ensure the scheduling and completion of the corrective actions addressing lessons learned during Cyber Storm I before conducting the next Cyber Storm Exercise.
Agency Affected: Department of Homeland Security
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: As of September 2010 and prior to Cyber Storm III, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) demonstrated that it had completed all 66 of the corrective actions addressing Cyber Storm I's lessons learned.

I've created a new database from my cPanel, I've uploaded and unpacked the quickstart file but all I have is an empty website. I've followed the instructions on the help files.
Please check here:
Can you please suggest how to have a clone of the demo website?
Thank you Paolo
Maybe you should try to manual import database. You know it? If you dont know it. i can show you it. It is very easy. plz give your e-mail adress.
I think you didnt import sample database. this is why your website empty.
You did a really great job. Yea, i think all the community's joomla now have to move all to 1.6 i know well Gavick. Go on with your templates on Joomla. I'll propably buy yours soon. Regards
Hi, Thank you for your quick reply. My email address is
Cheers Paolo
Ok I've made it, thank you!
i sended mail
thank you too. you are so fast
I get this message when using your template: "Missing jat3 framework plugin"
I'm having trouble locating jat3 framework plugin inside downloaded files.
Please advise
Hi jarekm Thank you for purchasing my theme.
If you have problem about jat3 framework plugin. Download "JA T3 System plugin for Joomla 1.5" from http://www.joomlart.com/forums/downloads.php?do=cat&id=317
you get plg_system_jat3.v1.2.3.zip and install it from admin panel on your site. Extension->Upload Package File->upload file & install Go to Extension->Plugin Manager-> Display #All and look "JA T3 Framework" enable it from column Enabled and your site will be work.
Best Regards
ops, sorry. I just read the instructions, and found the link to download the file.
everything works great now! thx
you are welcome jarekm
Can you please advise how to change the color of the template?
I've selected the L-Maximus template from the administrator backend and under Profiles tab selected Light-Blue and Apply changes, but that didn't work;(
I also get an ! next to Profile tab when changing color in Theme Settings and the error message"An error has occured when saving the default profile.. Operation failed: Failed to open file for writing."
What does that mean?
did you set your permissons? plz check your Directory Permissions: Administrator panel >Help>System Info>Directory Permissions
All of them must be writable in Directory Permissions. If you dont see writable. Plz do all of them writable in FTP or Cpanel
yes, all files and folders have permission set to 777, but I cant make any changes to the template, I have also tried to set the width for the template but get errors and cant save it. As soon as I enter any digit into "Specified width" the Profiles tab turns red and input box does the same. Any Idea?
can i check your administrator panel. if you let me. plz send a message to me.
Nice template and I like what you have done to the K2 template too, dont forget you should retain Joomlaworks license code in the files
K2 for J1.6 is in development and I have been told that it should be ready in early Febuary, the best way is for K2 users to keep track on www.getk2.org or on our site.

Google Didn't Ship Relicensed Java Code After All 223
from the deeper-looks dept.
it seems that the blogger who initially reported the issue was plain wrong
Florian Mueller produced two blatantly erroneous stories in about as many days. I hope this high error rate keeps Slashdot from promiscuously posting his stuff for a while. I'm not counting on miracles, but this guy was given two chances on Slashdot and he blew it badly each time. Even if Slashdot's goal is to troll for eyeballs, they can find someone more competent to do the trolling.
Fines/Damages/Fees/"Whatever your legal system calls it" usually depend on how often you copied it and what money you made from it.
So if there are only those files, all they did was making them available in the source code repository, so that might be some large one-time sum.
If that code was in every single android device or only many android devices had code somehow based on this one or derived from it or otherwise extending the copyright of those file to what is shipped with those devices, then Oracle could have hope to get some money for every single Android devices shipped. Both from google and from the manufacturers, who might want to get that money back from google.
I think this difference is relevant.
found in the unit test area? Does that mean EMI (who owns the copyrights for the Beatles songs) could sue Google for copyright violation and get a percentage for each android handset even though the song "All You Need is Love" is not used in Android in any way whatsoever?
Except that Google *DID* distribute the copyrighted code in question, even if they didn't put it into the handsets. So it's actually this story that's wrong-- Google did, in fact, violate the copyright. Does that mean Slashdot should stop posting pro-Google stories for a couple days? Your point doesn't make much sense to me.
I really don't understand this bias against Oracle.
If any other company was the victim of a GPL violation, for whatever reason and whereever the code was distributed, Slashdot would cry foul. I guess as long as it's done to Oracle, it's OK.
It doesn't matter if you distribute the code as part of a product that makes money or if you use it internally. If you slap an Apache license header on GPL code, you're violating the GPL. Copyright law doesn't require you to make money in order to infringe. Why do you think the RIAA is going after P2P users and getting massive settlements?
My blog never made a specific claim about Android devices containing certain code.
That's not what your blog post reads like. If they're not part of the codebase used on an Android device, you should have explicitly stated so, seeing as quite obviously "The Android versions of those files" by default suggests that those files are a part of the Android OS.
Maybe you can admit you were wrong or at the very least unclear in certain places, rather than quite childishly trying to bullshit your way out of this?
It's also wrong, as stated above, that Google "deleted" those files. They are still in the Froyo (Android 2.2) and Gingerbread (2.3) trees. At least they were when I last checked, which was yesterday. They are just not in the tree for future versions.
That's kind of how source repositories work when you delete things.
Just to make something clear: they didn't use JavaME because they were too cheap, it's because anyone who has done more than a Hello Wold app realizes how antiquated JavaME is (both CDC and CLDC). Hands down developing something in Objective C using Xcode is a much better experience. What Google offered is basically JavaSE on a phone, which Sun should have started pushing years ago. This isn't the first technology Sun created in the Java realm that sucked (Applets, JSF, JavaFX, EJB 1.0 to name a few) and Google's net result is an increase in Java developers. Oracle should be happy about this, just as Jonathan Schwartz was in his blogpost here: http://blogs.sun.com/jonathan/entry/congratulations_google
Please name one Android device that ships with this code.
I'm looking for clarity regarding the impact of any possible infringement. Willful infringement of code central to Android devices could stop shipments. Incidental infringement of peripheral code is another matter. It should be resolved, of course, but would have little impact on the market.
Do Android devices contain infringing code? Do they contain infringing code that could be easily replaced? Or do they contain infringing code that is central to their operation?
...and a GPL infraction is generally handled by allowing the offending party to make right rather than continuing to drag their names through the mud or sue them for some obscene damages.
GPL violators generally get treated much nicer than anyone else that violates some license.
What you said was:
Android contains, under the Apache license, code that is essentially just decompiled code of Oracle/Sun software that was never licensed to Apache.
Now, with some creative interpretation, you can likely indeed weasel out of it and say that this doesn't really mean that files were shipped to end users as part of Android. But it certainly wasn't the impression from your original post, and nowhere did you highlight that very important detail. What more, you contrasted your newly discovered files with PolicyNodeImpl.java, from which the "decompiled unlicensed copy" story started - and why it wasn't big deal back in the day was that it didn't ship on devices.
A lot of readers interpreted your words in the same way as TFA, which leaves one to wonder if that was an honest mistake (but then why not just admit that and correct the story?), an attempt to sound more sensationalist than it really is by omitting details that make it mundane, or deliberate FUD. I was one of those readers [slashdot.org], and I now have to apologize to fellow Slashdot readers for spreading this misinformation. Are you going to apologize for starting it?
The burden of proof goes the other way. Oracle would need to prove that this distribution did cause damage. It is not Google's (or anyone else's) job to prove lack of damages. They could maybe get server logs to determine # of downloads, but that's only useful for statutory damages.
Okay, maybe not creative. We'll go with "incorrect" then.
You can be sure the damage award would not be zero even if nobody ever used it.
For an inadvertent inclusion of an incorrect license on GPLed code? I can't be sure of what you suggest at all, in fact the opposite seems considerably more likely. Looks to me like you're pretty far out on a limb on this, I would suggest backing slowly away.
Usually the infringed party contacts the infringing party and allows them to correct the error, since mistakes happen. It's the polite, non-douchebag way to behave, particularly since the goal of the GPL is spreading code. In legal terms, it's called "good-faith".
Oracle, of course, is a douchebag, and as such does things the douchebag way.
Thus, Oracle gets slammed for being a douchebag.
It's like seeing a guy hit on your girlfriend, and instead of telling the guy she's spoken for, you sucker-punch him. You're a douchebag if you behave that way, plain and simple. That's how Oracle operates.
This is why I decided not to be a lawyer. You made up some bullshit blog post that definately gave people the impression that Android was using stolen code. You know.. in the phone...
Then when someone calls you on your bullshit you use a bunch of legalese to try to weasel your way out of any responsibility for what you said.
"I never said it was on a phone"
Well you never said it wasn't and your blog post gave the impression that it was.
This type of shit may fly on Engadget, but slashdot users aren't retarded. Not all of us anyway.. Every time I think I want to post a comment on Engadget I read the incredibly stupid stuff that has already been posted and I just give up.
It is absolutely germane.
If there is no mens rea, the damages aren't as great. If the code in question isn't on any Android headset, guess what. That means no per headset royalty goes to Oracle. If the code in question was derived from object code freely available from the Sun website. Guess what. The damage incurred to Oracle is much smaller. The magnitude and nature of the crime are obviously very important to determining the damages to be awarded to Oracle.
You are apparently comfortable with charging everybody involved in the death of another person with first degree murder instead of looking into the crime and determining if it was manslaughter, murder 2, murder 1, negligent homicide, etc. The context in which a crime occurs is always important.
Also, this obviously goes beyond the legal question. It is also clearly a question of ethics. Most of us would like to know if Google willfully plagiarized code that was not theirs. They did not which is clear from the context. If nobody had bothered to correct the original blog post, which lacked large chunks of crucial information (it failed to mention that the code was part of unit testing, freely available for download from the Sun website, etc.), we would not know the relevant facts of the case.
And now Florian Mueller is running around acting like is blog post is somehow free of error despite his half-assed job at disclosing the relevant facts. He found these files and stopped right there when he should have kept investigating. He made absolutely no attempt to discover an explanation for the code's inclusion in the source tree. He also clearly implied that the code was included in Android proper that runs on actual headsets. Then, after several someones pointed out that he was talking about unit tests and code not actually relevant to Android's functioning as an OS, he claimed that manufactures may have chosen to include it in production releases. A claim that is patently absurd. It's nice to know these facts about his journalistic integrity.
Take Linux, fork it, and redistribute it under the Apache license...
Google didn't take Linux and redistribute it under the Apache license or anything remotely like that. See what I mean about "spin"?
Yes, they did "something remotely like that". They took Oracle's copyrighted files, changed the copyright (which they do not have the right to do) then redistributed them under that license (which they do not have the right to do.
That's exactly like taking something else under the GPL (like Linux) and changing its license, and redistributing it. See what I mean about facts?
...silly accusations against the victim, solely because they are Oracle.
Haha, that's rich. Oracle... victim... like it wasn't Oracle who sued Google over using Java, thus pissing off the entire free software and open source community in one go...
Right. I'm weeping for Larry at this very moment or maybe not.
And again, you are proving my point. Google violated Oracle's license, but because it's Oracle that's being wronged (and Google that's doing the wrong, but Slashdot's hate for Oracle exceeds their love for Google), then fuck them.
*THAT'S* the very definition of "spin".
Most GPL violations are solved with a quick appology and direct remediation of the violation. Typically the violation is the failure to disclose source and such disclosure then happens. Damaged or headers are not uncommon, and in case of individual stupidity (not every guy checking stuff into version control is a jet-fuel genius) or honest mistake (not every guy checking stuff into version control is fully versed in copyright law), then reasonable people just go "eh, dude, that needs to be fixed" and then someone else replies "ok, cool, I'll fix that".
So the change of license was wrong, and needs to be fixed. Neither license is particularly incompatible with the other. Reasonable people, finding an issue _this_ minor are expected to act reasonably.
Of course Orace is involved so that's expecting rather a lot.
For the most part, if the actual complaint was this mis-licensing, between typical and reasonable GPL entities, then there would have been a check-in with the corrected headers.
So no matter what the other facts may be, the damage threshold is nascent to non-existent, and the "reasonable behavior" test has not been met by Oracle.
This whole thing is Oracle FUD to damage Android for no apparent reason than the fact that Oracle doest that kind of thing.
Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science.

"Turn your face to the sun and the shadows will fall behind you."
– Maori proverb
I scream, you scream, we all scream for SUNSHINE!
I don't think there's anyone in the whole wide world who doesn't like sunshine. Find me someone who prefers a gray day over a sunny day and I'll give them my bicycle, all my cookbooks, and my coffee maker. Sunshine can sometimes do more to lift my mood than chocolate, a pay rise, or a nice dream would. It doesn't beat a genuine tight hug, but it definitely presents competition!
Living in this part of North America surely increases one's appreciate for sun and its benefits, and I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Sometimes it feels like a good thing to have something not so often so that you can appreciate it once it appears, and at other times it feels too much of a long wait, waiting for the sun to peak through the clouds and warm your bones, draw a smile on your face, and get you out of the house on a weekend morning.
In any case, I did appreciate the sun's appearance this weekend. When I opened my eyes Saturday morning and saw the sun rays filtering through my bedroom curtain, my brain immediately jolted up! It's here, the sun is here! My mind started racing with all the possibilities. What to do? Walk up the mountain? Go to a cafe and stick my face to the glass window facing the sun? Walk aimlessly around? Ice skating? Whatever option I was going to choose, it was going to involve one sure thing: sun worshiping!
Finally, I went for the simplest and most delicious option: I just walked to Second Cup, got myself a cup of mocha, half-sweet just like I like it, asked for whipped (I usually don't), sprinkled chocolate on top and just … walked around! With a smile on my face. The sun does make you silly. But happy.
My very good friend Cartoline doesn't stop talking about coffee, and frankly, I don't know why I don't talk about coffee as much as she does! I love coffee with a passion, and I am not an addict! I enjoy the taste, punto. I do not need it every morning; I can start a productive day without a cup of coffee. However, everyday I make sure that I have at least 30 minutes to unwind with a cup of latte, whether I prepare it myself at home or go to a neighborhood cafe for it.
Besides enjoying the taste of a good cup of coffee, I enjoy the experience of being in a cafe. I do not just go to a cafe to sip my coffee and leave. I do that in Rome. Over here, going to a cafe is a stimulating experience for me. From the moment I step into the cafe until I leave an hour or so later, my mind is happy. I love looking at the interior decor of the cafe, observing the staff and how they prepare coffee, and checking out the wall of advertisements for cultural happenings. I love to actually listen to the music playing, and to hear the chatter of the people and feel the warmth of a packed cafe. Can you think of a better way to spend a grey Sunday evening alone in the winter?! So you see, going to a cafe is an outing for me, an activity, something I have always enjoyed doing, something I don't feel shy admitting.
All this introduction to bring you to the following: This year, I have made a small promise to myself: I am going to explore cafes in other neighborhoods in Montreal, and it turns out that there is actually a passport for that, the Indie Coffee Passport! What is that?
It is a a pass for 18 different coffee shops in different neighborhoods in Montreal. You buy the pass and then you get one cup of coffee at each of the participating coffee shops. As simple as that. Of course, you can read more at their website.
I will let you know when I buy the pass and hopefully I'll be able to take good shots and write a good post for each coffee experience!
What kind of coffee machine/pot do I use? The one in the photo. What coffee do I buy? Oftentimes it is Cafe Cubita.
Bon café!
What are your plans for this weekend?
After a disappointing last-minute flight cancellation due to bad weather, I spent last weekend (and a bit more!) here in Montreal. However, it turned out to be an unexpected fun-and-sun staycation! It included a lot of sunny cycling, girly chit-chats, 2 BBQs and tons of hugs. Alors, this weekend I am leaving to fate, too!
How about you?
I'm sharing these few photos of Montreal to authenticate that we do get beautiful weather in Montreal, sometimes :-)
Bon weekend!
2 months – ouch!
I know, I know, I have committed a sin by neglecting my blog for this long. I have a reason for this but I'm not sure if it's a good reason. But anyway, I'm here and I hope I'm back for good! (Any Take That fans?!)
SO what happened during the past two months? Well, THIS happened: SUMMER!
Summer happened, the as-fast-as-the-wind month that comes right after could-have-fooled-me Spring! Haha. I'm overdoing it, I'm not one to complain about the weather anyway. I appreciate all 4 seasons and look forward to each one of them. And, I have finally had my Montreal baptism: my bicycle got stolen!
Yoohoo! I couldn't stop smiling when I walked back from Park Laurier on that beautiful chilly night and didn't find my bicycle locked to the metal bars! I smiled for two reasons. The first: out with the old, in with the new (looks like this is the year of perfect change). The second: Montreal is finally treating me like one of its own; Montreal is becoming home! It looks like I have found me a home :) Home is not who you're with or where your heart is, that is Hollywood BS. Home is where (and when) your bicycle gets stolen!
My one year anniversary of being in Montreal is around the corner and I thought I'd dedicate a post (and a photo, of course) to this beautiful city that has shown me nothing but warmth, friendship and good times from the day I set foot here last May. The most special thing I found about Montreal is the four seasons, how truly humbling, patient, wise and majestic nature is. And I learned from it a very simple yet inspiring lesson: that there is no Spring without Winter. We really learn the simplest and most beautiful lessons from nature. So, here is my sunset photo to you, Montreal.
(Photo taken from Oratoire Saint Joseph)
I think personal happiness begins once we accept that there is no day without night and there is no spring without winter, and once we know how to enjoy and appreciate both. They are two sides of the same coin but not so many people have the clarity of mind and emotions to realize that and see it as beautiful.
Don't curse the bleak white winter, just be sure that it is necessary for nature to go through winter to bring you your beloved spring.
What do you do with the following ingredients: two cars, 7 friends, -5 C, a Sunday, Quebec?
You go to a sugar shack!
Sugar shacks, or sugar houses, (cabanes a sucre in French) are very popular in Eastern Canada and between March and April is the season for what they have to offer. They are cabins that were established to make maple syrup. Sugar shacks now offer a meal in the cabin where most of the food is made with maple syrup and some even have a chimney and live music. In Quebec, it is quite popular during the months of March and April to go to a cabane a sucre to have a typical meal from the region and then have tire d'erable on the snow, which is maple syrup on the snow that solidifies into a caramel-like texture and then scooped by you with a wooden Popsicle stick! Simple, silly but fun!
Needless to say, it turned out to be a cool Sunday. Here are a few photos.
Everyone who knows me knows that I am a huge lover of coffee, not because I am addicted to it but because I really enjoy the taste of it. However, I cannot have it black. I can have it sugarless, but I have to add milk or cream to it. Before coming to Canada, I always added milk to my coffee (or simply had a cappuccino), but in Canada it is very popular and common to add 10% cream (half and half) to your coffee. Now I take my coffee with a little bit of 10% cream, and man the difference it makes!
(Entre Le Cafe et La Plume)
(Le Depanneur Cafe)
So, the first thing that I did when we first got to Montreal was try out all the cafes in the neighborhood, and every place I went to I made sure that I took their business card. Needless to say, I now have a box full of business cards for cafes, bistros and little restaurants in Plateau and Mile End. And anyone who lives in Montreal (or has been to Montreal) knows perfectly well how quaint and artsy these two neighborhoods are. So, here is my list of the top cafes that I've been to, in alphabetical order.

Man beats murder rap, back in jail days later
Just days after getting off a murder rap, a North Arlington man found himself back in jail, this time for allegedly attacking a North Arlington police officer.
On Sept. 24, 55-year-old Bartholomew Bradley of North Arlington Bradley was found not guilty of aggravated manslaughter, a downgrade from the initial murder charges, in the death of 23-year-old Guatemalan immigrant Vilchis Francisco Alonzo Ramirez, according to the Essex County Prosecutor's Office. On Oct. 3, Bradley was back in jail after he was charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. He was also issued a municipal summons for illegal dumping.
At approximately 10:55 p.m., on Oct. 3, officers were dispatched to Ridge Road and Biltmore Street on a report of two men dumping garbage in the street. The suspects were flagged down by residents while they were walking south on Ridge Road, according to police. Officers were called to the scene and after speaking to them, believed they were intoxicated. Bradley began cursing and screaming at the police officers, police said. While officers proceeded to arrest Bradley for disorderly conduct, he charged at an officer and hit him in the neck and chest, police said. Bradley was placed on the ground, subdued and handcuffed and arrested him.
The other man, 23-year-old Luan Barcelos of Newark, was placed under arrest on a $500 criminal warrant out of Newark. According to police, Barcelos became extremely irate while in custody and refused to cooperate. He was charged with resisting arrest and issued a municipal summons for illegal dumping. He was processed and released to Newark on the warrant.
In the manslaughter case, authorities said Ramirez and Bradley had been living under the Jackson Street Bridge. During a fight with Ramirez and another homeless man, Bradley threw Ramirez into the Passaic River in Newark. One homeless man swam to safety and Ramirez drowned. His body was recovered from the Passaic Valley sewage treatment plant in Newark in May 2010 and DNA evidence linked the body to Ramirez.

Whole Foods BBQ Chicken Pizza
As mentioned before we are pizza people. I was looking recently for an alternative to our typical Friday night feast, and came across a recipe for BBQ Chicken Pizza. We were more than pleased with our discovery! It tasted fantastic, and we were able to use up chicken we had cooked earlier in the week and finish up our homemade BBQ sauce. Now that the weather is starting to warm up, I cannot wait to try this on the grill! If there is one thing I have been wanting for a long time it's a Pizza Peel. I'll admit I have been doing pretty well without it using a combo of plastic cutting boards and parchment paper, therefore you don't have to have a Pizza Peel but I know it's on my wish list.
BBQ Chicken Pizza
Kelly @ onceamonthmeals.com
- 1 each Pizza dough
- 3 cups chicken breast, preferably organic, cooked and diced
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce
- 2 cups fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
- 1.25 cups red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoons chopped cilantro, preferably organic
- drizzle olive oil
- pinch salt
1) Dice prepared chicken and smother in 1/2 cup barbecue sauce.
2) Roll out and stretch the dough onto sheet pan(s) drizzled with olive oil, or onto a pizza peel or parchment paper sprinkled with cornmeal. (Make large pizzas or small pizzas, whatever you choose. Sprinkle crust with olive oil and salt.
3) Spoon the rest of the barbecue sauce onto the crust, spread evenly.
4) Top sauce with sliced mozzarella, sprinkle with chicken then onion. Lastly sprinkle with cilantro.
5) Preheat oven to 450 degrees. If you have a pizza stone, place in oven for preheat. Bake for 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown and toppings are bubbly.
Freezing Directions:
At step 4, flash freeze and wrap in plastic wrap until ready to bake. To serve: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. If you have a pizza stone, place in oven for preheat. Bake for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown and toppings are bubbly.
Servings: 6
Notes: Please buy and use fresh mozzarella cheese, it makes all the difference in taste! And shred it yourself too!

The wife of former neighborhood watch leader George Zimmerman is being arraigned.
But the court hearing Tuesday in Sanford, Fla., is expected to be uneventful since Shellie Zimmerman already has entered a plea of not guilty to a perjury charge.
She waived her requirement to attend and wasn't going to be present during the hearing. Because of that, the judge won't call her name although it remains on the docket.
Prosecutors allege Shellie Zimmerman misled a judge about how much money she and her husband had at his April bond hearing. She testified that they had meager resources even though they had raised at least $135,000 in donations from a Web site set up for Zimmerman's defense.
Zimmerman is charged with fatally shooting Trayvon Martin. He is pleading not guilty.

Emma Bunton's cousin is in a band. You can hear them here.
Frankly, we're not sure what they pay their stylist*, but the whole multi-coloured tie thing isn't really working for us. As for the music, McFly fans will be pleased.Btw if you're wondering, Emma's cousin is the blond on on the right hand side. His name is Ross, fact fans.*On second thoughts, maybe the problem is they haven't actually got a stylist yet (well, they're still to be signed).What do you think? When they finally do get signed will you be saying "buy" or "bye"?Meanwhile, returning back to the subject of Emma Bunton, have you seen her website's home page? It's all a bit "Help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope..."

Hard to say, Pollack was deeply involved in psychology and psycho-analysis and some really hard drinking, so the boundaries between intentionality or not could be easily blurred or seeing double.

Oh, and you gotta give Pollack credit for at lest 2 other things – rejecting Peggy Guggenheim's sexual advances while she was his collector and dealer and then pissing into her fireplace in the middle of a party she threw.
As Stieglitz once quipped "a painting becomes art when a rich person pays a lot of money for it". And so it is, probably for ever that what we're talking about then is Pollack is "important" or "great" largely because of how he fits into the particular shell game the elite consumers of modern art [...]

The Billmon of late would have called this one a "contrast gainer" for the obvious reasons that the "giftee" in this case comes across as the paranoid scrooge protected police state droogs they are, compared to the earnest holiday choir.
The Backbone Campaign (again) does this with major competence.
annamissed commented on the blog post Condoleeza Rice Wants a Do-Over After Destroying Iraq
annamissed commented on the blog post Late Night FDL: Cleaning Up After the Houseguests Are Gone
Agreed, it's not a big leap, but It's a chicken or egg question as to provocation – is it a last ditch (self preservation) move by Iraqiya against Maliki (oh! where have you gone Jefferson Davis) or is Maliki simply responding to the gathering storm of partition?
Frankly, I'd put my money on Maliki being able to pull this off because warring mafia's aside, the Iraqi people don't want to see the country partitioned and Maliki will ride on this popular sentiment.
annamissed commented on the blog post Late Night FDL: Cleaning Up After the Houseguests Are Gone
Nice summation Swopa. Although I'm not so sure what Maliki is up to is simply a predictable continuation of Shiite consolidation, or worse, a brazen attempt to go dictatorial, or an unprovoked attack on his political enemies. Certainly, those political enemies could very well have (active) ties to the former insurgency. But especially, in the last couple of months no less than 4 Iraqi Provinces (Basra, Diyala, Anbar, and Salahuddin) have made bids for autonomy and Iraqiya is no doubt driving this agenda (except in Basra). It makes sense that Maliki would crack down on his Sunni political enemies behind this initiative in a sort of Lincolnesque effort to preserve national unity in the face of secession. I thought it interesting, if not self incriminating that the the most spectacular (and deadly) bombing the other day was at Maliki's Integrity Commission who was tasked with the investigating the charges of terrorism against the Sunni leadership. Pretty agile response to Hashemis arrest, no?
annamissed commented on the blog post Sadr Opposes Extension of Rival Militia's Presence in Iraq
I think your characterization of the U.S. as a (rival) "militia" is so spot on that it ceases to be metaphor or hyperbole. In spite of the fact that we've essentially played this role since square one is symptomatic of doing Iraq on the cheap, while talking big (COIN) and placing US in the position of playing the other rival militia's against one another as some kind of misbegotten force multiplier. The net result of which is that reliable trustworthiness is compromised into
a function of immediate utility as opposed to laying a foundation of ideological and political synchronicity.
At some point we'll realize that we've been playing their game, if not more so forcing them to playing ours. It is after all, their tavern we walked into.
annamissed commented on the blog post President Lashes Out at the Left: "This Country Was Founded on Compromise"
For most of the 20th century, the tax rate on the top percentile was between 70% and 90+%. Now seeing that we're in the midst of a depression, with a democratic president balking at raising (back up) a tax rate from 34% to 36% you got to wonder what the hell this fool is thinking. Record deficits two pointless wars, a collapsed real estate market, near 20% (real) unemployment and this guy is so worried as to not raise taxes a few percent on those who can afford it most?
If he capitulates on this things a guaranteed and locked in to only get worse in the short run and the long. It will finish him, the democrats, and all the rest of us in one fell swoop.

Organizers Stop and Dial for Repeal in Downtown Indy
November 17, 2010 by Adrian Matanza, Regional Field Director
With the Senate reconvening this week for the lame-duck session of Congress, it was important for us to be on the ground urging Senator Lugar to do the right thing by supporting the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
Just steps from Senator Lugar's downtown office, we stopped people on their lunch breaks and had them call right then and there. The response from citizens willing to make the call was overwhelming. It's easy to make your voice heard on such an important issue. If you haven't called your Senators and urged them to support repealing this failed law, make sure you do it today by calling the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121. Remind them to support all of our troops by passing the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" attached to the National Defense Authorization Act in this lame duck session of Congress.
We'll be taking action across the state to make sure Senator Lugar knows that like our military members and so many others across the country, Hoosiers support repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." If you want to get involved, contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The AP reports that the School Sisters of Notre Dame in Baltimore was bequeathed a T206 Honus Wagner baseball card from the early 1900s that could fetch between $150,000 and $200,000.
The Wagner card is famously chased by collectors as only 60 were known to be produced. In 2007, a near-mint Wagner card was sold for $2.8 million, but unfortunately for the Sisters, their copy has serious damages that have reduced its value.
The card belonged to the brother of a nun who passed away in 1999 and left it in a safety deposit box for the Sisters to discover.

Law Firms
Skadden Tops Corporate Counsel Lists
Posted Aug 20, 2007 6:40 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The usual names top Corporate Counsel's list of law firms most often used by Fortune 250 companies.
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom got the most mentions overall. Leading the lists by practice area:
--Kirkland & Ellis, in commercial law and contracts litigation.
--Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, in corporate transactions.
-- Littler Mendelson, in labor and employment litigation.
--Fish & Richardson, in intellectual property.
Rees Morrison, of legal consulting firm Hildebrandt International, said companies often turn to the law firms they know and trust. "There's no real reason to move elsewhere, and there's risk involved with moving on" to other firms, he told Corporate Counsel.
But eight companies on the Fortune 250 list are relying on in-house law departments for a substantial amount of legal work, Corporate Counsel reports in a separate article. The action saves money, attracts top talent, and keeps in-house lawyers happy.

The Kamry X6 kit is a beautifully crafted, variable starter set that sets itself apart from the standard VV kits. Unlike other variable eGo batteries on the market, the X6 keeps it simple. With a single button, it takes 5 clicks each to cycle through the various voltage modes. This does limit the options, but also makes it so you don't accidentally spin the adjuster in your pocket. Available in eight vibrant colors, each kit comes with a case packed with the X6 battery, a color matched CE style clearomizer, USB charger and wall adapter. Operating instructions: - 5-clicks to turn the on the battery to 3.2 volts (Red LED) - 5-clicks to change to 3.6 volts (Purple LED) - 5-clicks to change to 4.2 volts (Blue LED) - 5-clicks to turn the battery off
Additional Information
|Variable Voltage
Low profile Excellent quality and "feel". Review by Allan
I have thoroughly enjoyed the X6. I didn't purchase the kit, just the battery and it is performing beyond my expectations. Very simple to use and lasts a good 6+ hours of use (high use at that). Fits very comfortably in my hand and convenient to use. I will likely buy another, this is a go to battery. (Posted on 3/31/14)
