Notes Client for Linux: Insecure Installation Routine
The installation routine with Version 8 of Lotus Notes for Linux, which was released by IBM in September, leaves a whole bunch of files with read, write and executable permissions set for any user behind on the filesystem.
The Linux Client, which users can download from IBM for a 60-day trial after registering, is first copied to disk as a tarball, "C14SXEN.tar". While researching an article for Linux Magazine, our authors discovered incorrect permissions in the tarball when unpacked by root. This is caused by the "tar" command unpacking the archive and ignoring the umask set for the environment when called by root. This means that file permissions are set exactly as configured in the tar archive.
On starting the install, the wrapper script, "setup.sh", again sets the permissions for the installation script to 777, again wrecking the plans of security conscious admins:
01 #!/bin/sh
02 umask 022
03 chmod 777 "${0%setup.sh}/installdata"
04 "${0%setup.sh}/installdata" "$@"
The call to umask in line 3 makes the 200MB binary "installdata" script globally readable, writable and executable. This gives you a large file that anyone can edit that has to be run with root privileges for installations in multiuser environments.
Linux Magazine has informed the IBM developer team of the issue, and the bug was confirmed after a couple of tests. Work is in progress on a fix, says IBM.
Lotus Notes is the client for IBM's Domino Server, a comprehensive database System for document management, groupware and integrated application development. The latest version, Version 8 is based on Eclipse, and this is also the first time that a full-fledged Linux desktop client has been available.

So is your mind; it exists only in unconsciousness. When the sun of consciousness rises it disappears - just like stars. Don't fight with the stars. You will not be able to destroy them, they are millions. Just become more aware and they will disappear on their own accord.
A fault of vision.. Your eye is ill, it has some fault. Then you see things which are not there. For example, you may be seeing double or you may be seeing patterns, because your eye is not as it should be. If your liver is not good your eyes will start seeing things which are not there; a weak liver, and eyes will see patterns in the air, bubbles, designs, patterns. They are not really there, they are caused by your eye itself. You cannot fight with them, you cannot destroy them, because they don't exist. All that is needed is that you will have to go to a physician. Your eye needs treatment, your eye needs to be cured.
Buddha used to say, "I am not a philosopher, I am a physician. I don't give you a doctrine, I doctor you. I don't give you a theory, I simply give you a medicine. I don't talk about what light is, I only help you open your eyes so you yourself can see it."
The blind man cannot be helped by definitions of light and color and rainbows. The only help possible is that his eyes have to be brought back. You cannot explain to a deaf person what music is. Only when he can hear will he know. The experience is the only explanation.
Third, Buddha says think of the mind as a lamp. Why as a lamp? The lamp burns only while the oil in it lasts. Once the oil is finished the flame disappears. So is the mind - and the oil is the desire. While there are desires in the mind, the mind will remain alive. Don't fight with the flame, just don't go on pouring fuel on it. Desire is the fuel.
Desire means, that which is, you are not satisfied with it, you want something else. You are not living in suchness - that's what desire means. Desire means you want things to be other than they are. You don't want them the way they are. You have your own ideas, you have your private dreams to impose upon reality. You are not contented with reality as such, you want to change it according to your heart's desire. Then mind will remain. Mind exists because you are not contented with reality.
So many people come to me and they ask, "How to stop the thoughts?" They want to stop the thoughts directly. They cannot be stopped. Thoughts exist because desires exist. Unless you understand desire and drop desire, you will not be able to drop thoughts - because thoughts are by-products.
First the desire comes in. You see a beautiful car passing by and a desire arises. Buddha will say, "Say, 'Car, car.' Finished. If a desire has arisen in you, say again, 'Desire, desire,' and be finished." But you have seen a beautiful car and a dream, a desire, takes possession of you.

Indonesian Media Reports Journalist Allan Nairn Faces Arrest
A leading TV news network in Indonesia is reporting the Indonesian military is planning to charge journalist Allan Nairn with "smearing [its] good name."

Amy Goodman reached Allan earlier today just before going to air.
"Obama's Bad Prescription for Indonesia." By Amy Goodman
The health care legislative process and its frenetic endgame prompted the president to postpone a trip to the country where his mother raised him for several years of his childhood: Indonesia. While his health care bill is considered by many a huge step forward, Obama is simultaneously, and with far less scrutiny, potentially taking a huge step backward with Indonesia.

This article is part of a series which explains legal concepts especially relevant to entrepreneurs in both words and (often funny) pictures. This entry continues a section of that series which focuses on contracts. This particular entry focuses on consideration, a legal term of art which is, nonetheless, the cornerstone of contract law. The article explains what consideration is and presents examples of what can and cannot constitute consideration, and further explains what happens to a contract when consideration does not exist.

For June, our theme is wanderlust and we could think of no better person to wax poetic on foreign adventures than Kate Thorman, a professional travel writer. Kate's impressive credentials include being an editor for Mr. & Mrs. Smith as well as the host/producer of the web-based travel and food program The Innocents Abroad. (In fact, she's actually the cofounder of the show's production company Abbott & West.) If you think you had the itch to explore before, we can guarantee that you'll be ready to pull the trigger and book your next plane ticket after reading her travel-savvy posts this week.
One of my most terrifying travel memories remains the moment, on the train from Paris to Köln, when I realized the only thing I could say in German was 'auf Wiedersehen.' 'Good-bye' is definitely the most useless travel word ever.
As soon as I met up with a friend in Berlin, I asked her how to say a phrase I've discovered to be one of the most important in my travels: 'I don't speak [insert language here].' I even know two ways to say it in Turkish, just in case they don't believe me the first time (which has happened before – in multiple languages).
It might sound ridiculous, but once you're off the beaten tourist path, people will just repeat themselves louder and more slowly as the few words you've picked up suddenly escape you and you find yourself staring like an idiot.
To make sure you can at least somewhat effectively communicate wherever you might be jaunting off to next, here's a quick little tutorial on some useful phrases in some of my favorite languages:
We knew there was a better way to use our extra nail polish (100 bottles to be exact)! We're loving the look, Birchbox Spain.
Fun fact? You have the chance to win every single one of the Color Club shades in this picture!
If you received one of our exclusive Color Club Wanderlust polishes in your June Birchbox, share a photo of your manicure on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook using hashtag #BBWanderlust and you'll be entered to win this entire collection. Learn more here.
As soon as we came across Rachel Phipps' lifestyle, foodie, and travel blog, we knew we were hooked. It sent us down the rabbit hole to The Glossy Guide, a beauty blog created by the British style maven and her best friend. From secret steals to haute products, she's sharing some of her best insights here with us this week!
While my first beauty experiments from my early teens came from samples my mother gave me from her "Clinique bonus time" hauls, many of my first pocket-money beauty splurges were on some much-loved, iconic British drugstore brands. Here are five of the best mass brands to check out the next time you visit us across the pond!
Models Own
Operations Coordinator, Loren, has a thing for nails—and we can't blame her. We love reading about new finishes and fun techniques, so we thought we'd give her a slot on our blog to wax poetic about all things manicure (and pedicure!) related.
We've had our eye on the white polish trend since we first spotted the look at spring Fashion Week—and now that it's finally warm enough to really embrace the bright hue, the color has completely blown up here in the Birchbox office.
While it might not necessarily be your go-to color, we love that white is such a versatile and classy summer shade. (It can really give an outfit extra pop!) I've rounded up three of my favorite white polishes to try if you're feeling adventurous:
On Tuesday, Birchbox had a B-I-G day. We unveiled a new look and feel—and logo!—and debuted Birchbox France and Birchbox Spain. But the fun doesn't stop there. To celebrate our growing global brand, we decided to include something extra special in the June boxes.
This month, every single subscriber in all four countries (US, UK, France, and Spain) will be receiving a custom-created shade of Color Club nail polish. And appropriately, given the travel theme, the minis in our Birchbox + Color Club Wanderlust collection take inspiration from our international headquarters.
Each of the shades has its own story, and the first step was creating mood boards (a favorite procrastination tool) to help us determine exactly what we wanted each shade to look like. Here's a taste of our creative process:

Arriving ten minutes late to the amusement park was a bad start to his first mission. He just hoped Agent Black explained it good enough to Agent Quartermain.
He doesn't let himself worry over his reputation long, because when he joins up with two of his friends (they run and spar together) he's told that Ashe had been reported missing just a few minutes ago.
He decides to stay with those two (it did say teams of two and more) for now and keeps his cummunicator in his left hand at all times, ready to report anything unusual he might spot.
So far the only thing thats out of ordinary is a clown puppet that fell off the podium it had been sitting on. It looked like one of those you shoot at with a water pistol. He found remains of a really dirty water pistol not far off.
"How creepy." said one of the Agents behind him, he couldn't put them apart by voice only. He crouches down with the intent on setting the clown up and straight again - the sight was making him sad. Even the exclamation of "Ah, no, don't touch it, god, why are you doing this man." made him reconsider. Thankfully that phobia left him alone.
"Stop whining, do something useful instead and tell me where As- Agent Matsumoto disappeared."
When the slide seemed to come to an end - the curve straightening and the speed decreasing - he tried again to find...
But at the end of the slide, there were no spikes. No lava, no glass, and not a cage - at least by conventional cage...

FRIDAY, Sept. 23 (HealthDay News) -- In large and diverse
groups, people with similar beliefs, values and interests tend to
stick together, establishing both friendships and romantic
relationships with like-minded people, a new study suggests.
The more choices people have in who they become close to, the
researchers found, the more uniform their social circle
"People prefer to make friends with others who are similar to them. But one can only choose among the available alternatives. A person is far more likely to satisfy their specific grocery needs at a supermarket than a convenience store," wrote the Wellesley College and University of Kansas researchers. "The irony of the situation is that as settings get more and more diverse, friendships become more homogeneous."
In the study published in
Group Processes & Intergroup Relations, researchers compared friendships on small college campuses with about 500 students and on larger campuses, with more than 25,000 students.
Researchers approached pairs of students seen interacting in
public about their attitudes, beliefs and health behaviors.
The researchers found on just about every belief and behavior
assessed, the large campus friends were more alike than those from
the small campus.
They concluded that people seek out others who are similar to
them because the interaction is smoother and more pleasant. The
study also suggested that in larger settings people feel they have
more choice and can more easily replace friends.
Students from both campuses had been friends for the same amount
of time and spending equal amounts of time together. Yet the small
campus friends viewed their relationships as closer than the large
campus friends did.

Something new for me this time – a fanmix! This is my first attempt at this, but it was a lot of fun, so I'll probably do it again.
A note of warning : my internet connection isn't consistant enough for me to provide download links, hence the YouTube. Sorry, folks.
Alrighty then. Essentially, this is a fanmix for Amy and Melody, during their imprisonment by Madam Kovarian. I've tried to get inside Amy's head as much as possible, because she must have been going through a hell of a lot inside.
Vertigo - U2 :
"Hello, hello, I'm at a place called vertigo / It's everything I wish I didn't know / Except you give me something I can feel"
The birth scene was a bolt from the blue, so we hit the ground running, with a song that reflects, as much as possible, Amy's feelings at waking up in that situation – disorientation, mainly, with Melody being the only thing she can truly focus on.
Blindness - Metric :
"Well what it is and where it stops nobody knows / You gave me a life I never chose / I wanna leave but the world won't let me go"
A gentler song. An exhausted Amy begins to understand that she's a prisoner.
Keep Breathing by Ingrid Michaelson :
"All that I know is I'm breathing / All I can do is keep breathing"
Realizing she can't escape, Amy tries to stay calm and focus on the fact that she now has a baby to look after.
Don't Let Them See You Cry - Manchester Orchestra :
"Don't let them see you cry / When the dam breaks down and the city's covered in water / Because I believe we fly / When the moon takes shape and I doze off on your shoulder"
I can't see Amy wanting to let Madam Kovarian see that she's getting to her. This is quite a lullaby-like song – the idea is that Amy is bonding with Melody, drawing strength from her and trying to be the mum she needs.
Fear - One Republic :
"I wish I didn't know the meaning of fear"
Amy watches the soldiers on the base below. The idea is that Amy Pond would normally attack all guns blazing, but she's afraid to fight back too much, because she doesn't understand what the soldiers are for, and she's afraid for her daughter's safety.
Push Your Head Towards The Air - Editors :
"When you fall and you can't find your way, push your hand up to the sky / I will run just to be by your side / Don't you ever bat an eye … But I will tear the price from your head / And keep you from harm / That's what you said"
Amy promises Melody she'll protect her.
Butterflies and Hurricanes - Muse :
"Change everything you are, and everything you were / Your number has been called / Fights and battles have begun / Revenge will surely come / Your hard times are ahead"
Rory and the Doctor get nearer, and Amy watches the soldiers prepare for battle. A more intense song again, because everything is just about to kick off.

If the government shuts down in March, which it will if Congress doesn't reach agreement on a measure to provide funding for the remainder of fiscal 2011 by the end of February, it's a sure bet that many federal employees will be sent home and many federal services will stop. However, beyond that not much is clear.
Federal Computer Week readers are angry about the prospect, though, at least based on comments posted to our recent stories about the possibility.
"I remember the last shutdown," which happened in the winter of 1995 into 1996, wrote one commenter. "I was working in the D.C. area at the time. I also remember what broke the shutdown, and you don't see anyone writing about this. The federal judges told Congress if there was no budget for the federal government to operate, then it was illegal for the federal government to detain and hold federal prisoners. Basically the judges made a threat that Congress couldn't live with. Pass a budget or the doors to prisons would be open and the prisoners let go. Overnight all federal law enforcement had a budget. We were ordered back to work and the night before D.C. was clobbered by the biggest winter storm in a long time. It shut down D.C. for three days."
"As in the 1995-96 shutdown, political posturing takes priority over running the country efficiently," wrote another. "Look at the tremendous waste last time. We were paid to stay home and be totally stressed out, then we had to return to work and try to complete 52 weeks of work in 50 weeks."
One major question no one has yet answered is whether employees who are furloughed will receive back pay when they return to work. Although it has happened in past shutdowns, it isn't required.
"Don't be surprised if Republicans eliminate the back pay of gov[ernment] workers," one cynical reader wrote. "In the private sector, the worker is responsible for covering for the time loss during furloughs either through vacation time or loss of salary."
And another wrote, "[In my opinion], keeping people on the clock absent a valid current appropriations bill is illegal, but I know nobody will ever do anything about it. And the employees and vendors always get their back pay or money anyway, since the financial system is not capable of mass changes. They should change the law, or the constitution if needed -- Congress is not allowed to do anything else (no bills, no travel, etc.), until they pass all the appropriation bills at the start of each session. That is their main job duty."
Congress gets the brunt of the blame from many of our readers.
"I remember when the fiscal year ended in June," one reader wrote. "I suspect that at one time it ended in March. The fact is no matter when it ends, Congress will let it slide. They are not injured. The federal workers are ignored in all this. Adding insult to injury, our retirement fund was raided to fund the last shutdown. I don't know if it was repaid. The country doesn't respect the work the [federal] employees do because we are muted by law, unable to defend ourselves. We would be fired for such a failure to perform."
But at least one reader found a silver lining, writing: "Good. Once the government shuts down, I can take some of my 260 hours of leave that I haven't been able to take, before the bosses take it away."

I do like the basic benefit package and consider this a good deal for me, but many I know prefer working in the private sector. Congress could accept the administration's budget if they choose to, but political posturing has prevented them from doing so. Personally, as a liberal, I find the administration's budget too far to the right and I can't quite see how those on the right can't accept the compromise that is before them and get down to doing real work instead of their empty headed posturing. The first part to be shut down should be congress.
I've been told at our agency that we may use accumulated leave. We have generally agreed that we don't expect to see Congress restore it, or any lost pay.

Solebox x Saucony Shadow 5000 – Teaser
May 16th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | No comments
Solebox is no stranger to crafting their own colorups for Saucony shoes. As a matter of fact, they're no stranger to the Saucony Shadow 5000, having already worked with the model once before in 2013 via their "Three Brothers Pack". This next joint on the way from them looks be a bit of a darker affair, with the color pushed onto the insides via the super bright lining. There's no word yet on a specific theme surrounding the sneaker, but as well all know the Solebox team loves to tell stories with their releases, so expect more on that soon. Hit the jump for more on the Solebox x Saucony Shadow 5000 and give us your predictions in the comments.

|AJG > SEC Filings for AJG > Form 8-K on 20-Sep-2013
|All Recent SEC Filings
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Termination of a Material Def
The disclosure contained in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
On September 19, 2013, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. ("Gallagher") entered into the Credit Agreement, as defined below in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Credit Agreement replaced and resulted in the termination of Gallagher's $500.0 million revolving credit facility, dated as of July 15, 2010, which was scheduled to expire on July 14, 2014 (the "Previous Credit Agreement"). A summary of the material terms of the Previous Credit Agreement is set forth in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of Gallagher's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, under the heading "Credit Agreement," which description is incorporated herein by reference.
At the time of its termination, all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations outstanding under the Previous Credit Agreement were fully paid and satisfied, except for approximately $15.2 million of letters of credit, which became letters of credit under the Credit Agreement. Gallagher incurred no early termination penalties or fees in connection with the termination of the Previous Credit Agreement.
Also on September 19, 2013, Gallagher entered into a new unsecured multicurrency credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent ("BMO"), and the other lenders signatory thereto. The Credit Agreement, which expires on September 19, 2018, provides for a revolving credit commitment of up to $600.0 million, of which $75.0 million may be used for issuances of standby or commercial letters of credit and up to $50.0 million may be used for the making of swing loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Gallagher may from time to time request, subject to certain conditions, an increase in the revolving credit commitment under the Credit Agreement up to a maximum aggregate revolving credit commitment of $850.0 million. As of September 19, 2013, there were $150.7 million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement (including the $15.2 million of letters of credit transferred from the Previous Credit Agreement).
The Credit Agreement provides that Gallagher may elect that each borrowing in U.S. dollars be either base rate loans or eurocurrency loans, each as defined in the Credit Agreement. However, the Credit Agreement provides that all loans denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars will be eurocurrency loans. Interest rates on base rate loans and outstanding drawings on letters of credit in U.S. dollars under the Credit Agreement will be based on the base rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Interest rates on eurocurrency loans or outstanding drawings on letters of credit in currencies other than U.S. dollars under the Credit Agreement will be based on adjusted LIBOR, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus a margin of 0.85% to 1.45%, depending on the financial leverage ratio maintained by Gallagher. Interest rates on swing loans
In addition to financial leverage ratio covenants, the Credit Agreement also includes covenants requiring Gallagher to maintain specified levels of net worth. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, with corresponding grace periods, including, without limitation, payment defaults, cross-defaults to other agreements evidencing indebtedness and bankruptcy-related defaults. Several of Gallagher's wholly-owned subsidiaries are co-obligors under the Credit Agreement.
The foregoing summary of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1.
4.1 Multicurrency Credit Agreement, dated as of September 19, 2013, among Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., the other borrowers party thereto, the lenders party thereto, Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, BMO Capital Markets, as joint lead arranger and joint book runner, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Citibank N.A., Barclays Bank PLC, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as joint lead arrangers, joint book runners and co-syndication agents, and U.S. Bank National Association, as documentation agent.

Hey, at least we are the best at something right?
Best celebrator: Steve Smith. The Carolina receiver has been limited a bit in recent years as the NFL has tightened its rules on celebrating. But think back a few years to when the Minnesota Vikingswere in the middle of a scandal after a bye-week cruise on a party boat on a lake. The Panthers played the Vikings while the story was still hot. Smith scored a touchdown, sat down and began doing a rowing motion. When reporters asked him what that was all about after the game, Smith said something like "I was out on the lake." Smith had some other good celebrations, but that was the funniest I've ever seen.
Best short fuse: Smith. Do we even need to explain? He's had at least three physical altercations with teammates. And there are some in Charlotte who say they've been able to literally hear ticking as Smith awaits the end of the lockout and some clarity on his future.

A property holding company and development subsidiary of West Texas billionaire brothers Farris and Dan Wilks, has bought a 122-acre tract of undeveloped land in the Solana Business Park out of foreclosure.The property, in Southlake, was sold by Redus Texas Land, a Wells Fargo subsidiary that takes title to its foreclosed properties. Wells Fargo foreclosed in November 2011 on California-based Maguire Partners, which started the 900-acre Solana development with IBM Corp. in 1989.The 122 undeveloped acres are on the north side of Texas 114 at Kirkwood Boulevard near the Sabre Holdings campus. The land was used as collateral for a $68.7 million note executed by Robert Maguire III in June 2008.Were very excited about this piece of property, said Kyle Wilks, Farris Wilks son, an executive of Wilks Masonry in Aledo, a family-run business who is overseeing the Southlake development. the family firm plans to build office and retail buildings, but he said it was too soon discuss details.Wilks said his father and uncle will only have input into the development at a very high level.This is not the first real estate development of the firm, Wilks Heritage Group in Eastland. Almost three years ago, it bought land near the former Trinity Meadows Race Track in Willow Park where it has built the 208-unit Village at Crown Point apartment community, which is slated to open in mid-August. It also plans some retail development along Interstate 20 in Willow Park.Farris and Dan Wilks founded Wilks Masonry in 1995, following in their fathers footsteps as masons. In 2002, the brothers founded Frac Tech, a hydraulic fracturing and oil field services firm in Cisco, their hometown. In 2011, they sold the firm to a Singapore company for $3.5 billion. The company later moved its headquarters to Fort Worth and changed the name to FTS International.In 2011, the brothers were included on the Forbes list of billionaires.During the past few years, the two have also amassed about 276,000 acres of ranch land in eastern Montana, according to several news reports.Solana is a 14-building campus-style office development known for its colorful architecture and located on both sides of Texas 114 in Westlake and Southlake. The business park was held under three partnerships.In June, Digital Realty Trust, a San Francisco-based operator of data centers, paid $49.2 million to buy a 304,000-square-foot office building in Solana. The purchase is part of efforts by a receiver to sell off the assets of the office park's developer, Maguire-Solana L.P., and pay down $395 million in debt owed to U.S. Bank, which began foreclosure proceedings a few years ago but later asked a court to appoint a receiver to sell the property.Last fall, Mehrdad Moayedi, owner of Centurion American Development Group in Carrollton, took control of 285 undeveloped acres at the northwest corner of Texas 114 and Dove Road from Maguire Partners.Moayedi has since sold 75 acres to the home builder Toll Brothers, 25 acres to Verizon Wireless and 8.2 acres to a hotel developer.

The Brown v. Board of Education case broke new ground not only in what it argued, but in how it was argued. The argument against segregation in schools relied heavily on the consideration of "intangible" factors, and on social science research as proof of the psychological damage that black individuals experienced under segregation. The notion of psychological damage and its relationship to law has been explored more recently via the use of narrative as a means of communicating the intangible factors that previously came to light in the Brown v. Board of Education case.
I. The Argument for Intangible Factors
In the Brown v. Board of Education case, the court ruled that segregated school systems denied black children the "equal protection of the law" they were guaranteed under the Fourteenth Amendment. In order to argue that segregation denied equal protection of the law, it needed to be proven that the "separate but equal" element of segregation was never truly equal, even when "tangible" factors such as buildings, curricula, and teacher qualifications could be made equal (Opinion 3).
The argument for intangible factors referred back to Sweatt v. Painter and McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents, two cases in which segregation in higher education was judged unequally. Sweatt v. Painter found that a segregated law school did not provide equal educational opportunity based on "those qualities which are incapable of objective measurement but which make for greatness in a law school" (ibid.). The McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents case took into account intangible considerations when it was required that a black man admitted to a white graduate school be treated like all other students in "...his ability to study, to engage in discussions and exchange views with other students, and, in general, to learn his profession." Having been judged as a legal necessity for adults, the intangible considerations of what represented a quality education would be even more important for children in school.
However, the "intangible factors" in the Brown v. Board of Ed. case were harder to prove than in either Sweatt or MacLaurin. The Sweatt case dealt with law schools, which were measured by the reputation of either the faculty or the student body, whereas public primary and secondary schools were not (Scott, 135). McLaurin involved blacks and whites being segregated within the same school, and the act of being treated differently from one's peers was what caused the intangible inequality (ibid.). In the Brown v. Board of Education case, it had to be proven that the act of separating black and white children into separate schools created an intangible inequality. The argument here was that it was the separation of black and white children that implied black inferiority. In order to demonstrate the inequality of "intangible" factors that stemmed from segregation, opponents of segregation made novel use of social science research regarding what happens when one racial group is implied to be inferior to another, and the negative impact that this has on the development of individuals.
Using Kenneth Clark's doll study as a primary piece of evidence, the court ruled that to separate children from others of similar age and qualifications solely based on race generated a feeling of inferiority as to the status of black children in the community that "may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely to ever be undone." The detrimental impact of segregation would be greater when it had the sanction of the law, because the policy of separation was usually seen as denoting the inferiority of the minority group. Segregation, then, was detrimental to the educational and mental development of black children, and deprived them of some of the benefits they would receive in a racially integrated school system.
II. The Clark Study as Evidence
The major piece of social science evidence brought before the court was Kenneth Clark's study that used white and black dolls to test racial awareness in children. Clark described one particular experiment involving sixteen African-American children between the ages of six and nine. The children were presented with white and black dolls that were identical in every way except skin color. The children were then asked a series of questions: which the doll they liked best, which doll was the "nice" doll, which doll looked "bad," which doll looked like a white child, which doll looked like a colored child, which doll looked like a Negro child, and which doll "looks like you" (Beggs 67).
Ten out of sixteen children preferred the white doll, choosing it as the one they liked best. Ten out of sixteen children also chose the white doll as the "nice" doll, and eleven chose the black doll as the "bad" doll. These findings were consistent with results gained from testing over 300 children, and this was interpreted to mean that black children, by ages as young as seven or eight, have internalized negative stereotypes about their own group. Clark concluded that the children in his study, having been given inferior status in the society in which they lived, had been "definitely harmed in the development of their personalities."
The Clark study was far from perfect. The existing research could not provide an answer as to whether psychological damage experienced by black children resulted from segregated schools rather than from families or everyday discrimination experienced elsewhere; in fact, evidence existed that black children in integrated schools experienced more psychological damage as a result of being looked down upon (Scott 137). Nonetheless, the Clark study opened up the courts to a discussion of psychological damage as legitimate grounds for legal action.
III. Expressing Racial Issues Through Narrative
The psychological damage that can arise when one group is stigmatized as an undesirable "other" can be difficult to quantify or define. Narrative is one way in which "intangible" damages can be expressed. In more recent years, literature has further opened up the discussion of the effect of social stigma on individual development, and also of the social and legal issues surrounding racial inequality.
In her novel The Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison creates a picture of deep-seated racial shame in a little girl. Pecola, the main character, so internalizes white contempt for her blackness that she wishes to have blue eyes in order to feel accepted, pretty and loved. By her wish, Pecola wants to escape the dominant culture that sees her as a despised and inferior "other"(Bouson 41). Pecola's family, the Breedloves, is also victims of the contempt of the dominant white culture. They believe they are "relentlessly and aggressively ugly ... They had looked about themselves and saw nothing to contradict the statement; saw, in fact, support for it leaning at them from every billboard, every movie, every glance."(Bouson 25) The contempt that the Breedloves were surrounded by their entire lives eventually destroys the structure of their family, leading to abuse, incest, and Pecola's mental breakdown. By creating a narrative with individual characters who suffer as a result of social stigma, Morrison implicitly argues that the potentially devastating effects of racism on individuals be confronted.
Derrick Bell is a professor of law and another author who uses storytelling as a format for expressing the social reality of racism. Through fiction, Bell writes, he intended to reflect the "contradictions and dilemmas faced by those attempting to apply legal rules to the many forms of racial discrimination" (Bell 316). His story "Space Traders" presents a hypothetical situation where extraterrestrials offer the United States solutions to its fiscal, environmental, and energy problems; in return, they ask for all of the nation's black citizens. The fictional reactions of politicians, corporate leaders, religious leaders and minority groups to this hypothetical situation are a way of dramatizing real, persistent attitudes toward black people in America. In the story, politicians support the removal of black citizens and use manipulative rhetoric in order to make the removal of their rights sound patriotic; corporations, who make a profit off of black citizens, look out only for themselves; evangelists manipulate their congregations' biases and claim that the trade would be an act of God, and minority groups, such as Jewish leaders, who stand up for black rights are blacklisted, stigmatized and silenced. The presentation of such a hypothetical creates an involving persuasive argument, and requires the audience to consider how discriminatory attitudes are still existent in our society.
The concept of narrative has a part in legal theory, such as with Patricia Williams's approach to understanding racial oppression through narrative. Williams argues that the language of law itself is too restrictive to allow for satisfactory discussion of racial issues. In her book The Alchemy of Race and Rights, she uses a variety of literary forms and states that "Noninterpretive devices, extrinsic sources, and intuitive means of reading may be the only ways to include the reality of the unwritten, unnamed, nontext of race" (Riles 782). Where the language of legal interpretation imposes order and categories, Williams writes, it does not account for individuals (Williams 8-9).
Like the experimental evidence in the Brown v. Board of Ed case, the narrative approach aims to express the reality of racial inequality and its impact on individuals. While fictionalized and anecdotal evidence of discrimination is better able to express the nuance of individual experience and layers of social meaning, defining this reality in a legal context still remains a challenge.

Know No Pride - How to Tell a Client They're Wrong
Last week I received this great articleI could not help myself but to share it (though i cut out a few words). So from Clients From Hell to the world:
A freelancer should be able to help steer things in another direction before the hubris-fueled project crashes and burns.
- Be sure the client is wrong before you tell them they are. It's important to distinguish between a bad decision and a decision you wouldn't make.
- Ask questions. Understand what the client is trying to accomplish with their decisions.
- Gently explain why they're wrong but avoid using the word 'wrong' if you can.
- Suggest alternatives that will achieve the client's goals.
- Flaunt your expertise. Anecdotal evidence and proven experience are the most convincing tools at your disposal.
- Be direct if it's necessary. Some clients may appreciate it. Others clients, less so.
- Be graceful in defeat. There are times when being right will cost you more than being wrong.
- Whatever your argument, justify with the client's own interests and goals.
If this tips don't seem to work out for you freelancers, well (as James Victore says) "give 'em hell".

Putting Your Finances In Orderby Connie Brooks
The current economic downturn is bringing to light lots of financial crises, On a big-business level, and an at-home personal level too.
It makes me want to sit back, and take stock of my life, and my money. It also makes me want to take a long hard look at how, and why I spend my money the way that I do. I have very little debt, and I pay my credit cards off in full each month. Still though, there are months when I put more on credit than I need to.
There are months when I spend more on food than I should, or clothes, or electronics. There have been a couple of months recently when getting that credit card bill the next month hurt a bit. So, what's behind that?
What's behind it for you, when you do it? Will you tell me?
Even though I care for my credit score, and manage my money well enough, the finer points of budgeting still seem to elude me. I'll set a number for something (Christmas for example) and then that number flies right out the window when I shop.
Maybe it's worthwhile to revisit some of the basic tenets of money management, especially when it comes to credit cards. From now on, before I spend any money (on credit or not) I am going to ask myself the following questions:
- Why am I ing this item?
- Can I afford to go without it?
- Will I miss it or even remember it if I do not it?
- Do I have something else I could make do with instead?
With the holidays coming up fast, I need a checks-and-bounds system for gifts too. If it is an item for someone else, I am going to look at it this way:
- Will the person really like this item?
- Why do I want to give it to them?
- Could I get them something else that they would like just as well, and spend less on it?
- Am I trying to impress them with the gift, or does it really fit who they are?
I am also going to try to complete my Christmas shopping in early December, so that I do not get stuck rushing around at the last minute trying to find something, anything, to give someone that I forgot.
If I have learned nothing else about money, I have learned that given a little time, thought, and preparation you can save yourself a lot of trouble, and money.
The articles below all deal with managing different aspects of credit, and personal finance. I really enjoy looking through my feed reader each week, visiting favorite blogs, and discovering new ones. I hope that you enjoy these articles too!

I recorded the song i sang in that video like a few days ago and yea this song is fun
When I saw you in that dress
It made me think about ballerinas
Painted in a neutral hue
that I saw two years ago.
It made me feel like never returning back to my home.
It blew open up my mind
and made me feel lost.
something about the color turquoise
makes me want to explode.

I'm looking for a way to pull the last characters from a String, regardless of size. Lets take these strings into example:
"abcd: efg: 1006746"
"bhddy: nshhf36: 1006754"
"hfquv: nd: 5894254"
As you can see, completely random strings, but they have 7 numbers at the end. How would I be able to take those 7 numbers?
I just realized that String[] string = s.split(": "); would work great here, as long as I call string[2] for the numbers and string[1] for anything in the middle.
