I feel like one person has worn this dress every year for the last ten years. And it hasn't looked good on any of them. Her body looks great in it, and the color is wonderful with her hair and skin, but the dress itself is U-G-L-Y. The earrings are amazing, though...

Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace signed a 5-year, $60 million contract with the Miami Dolphins that included $27 million guaranteed at the start of the free agency signing period, but apparently he left some money on the table. According to Adam Beasely of the Miami Herald, the Minnesota Vikings offered him more money. Wallace's dad, Mike Jr., said "The [Vikings] had come to the point where they were telling him, 'You don't have to live here, just be here during the season.' He wanted to get out of that snow and cold weather." The St. Louis Rams and the Seattle Seahawks Read more [...]

Consumer electronics & software help e-commerce grow in 2011
Ahead of the busiest e-shopping day of the year, Cyber Monday, online purchases have surged according to research firm comScore. The company said its expects cyber retailers to reap the rewards this holiday season as more and more folks become web savvy consumers.
E-patrons spent $36.3 million in the third quarter – a 13 percent increase over last year's online retailer earnings, said comScore. The company added that the new results mark the eighth straight quarter of growth for online retailers.
"The third quarter of 2011 saw a continuation of the year's strength in U.S. retail e-commerce spending, even in the face of renewed economic headwinds and uncertainty facing the U.S. consumer," said comScore chairman Gian Fulgoni.
Digital content, various consumer electronics and PC software were major movers in cyber shops. All three saw double-digit growth, said comScore. The firm believes an influx of new customers drove most of the gains, with nearly three-quarters of web-connected consumers now buying something online.
Fulgoni stopped short of predicting additional growth this holiday season, but remained confident that e-commerce companies have no cause for alarm.
"As we approach the critical holiday shopping season, we are optimistic about the continued health of the e-commerce sector despite other factors – including stubbornly high unemployment and volatile financial markets – currently weighing on the economy," he said. "More consumers than ever before are relying on the online channel for product and pricing information, which along with the Internet's fundamental appeal of convenience and attractive pricing, are contributing to the sustained upward momentum in e-commerce spending."

As for Batista and Masters, heh. I remember all too well my reactions from seeing how small they went back in 2006.
Mike Johnson posted a link to an interview today done with Superstar Billy Graham and Eric Gargiulo. In the interview, Graham speaks out about Ken Kennedy calling Graham a hypocrite only to get suspended by WWE for violating their Wellness Policy. Below is what Superstar Billy Graham had to say:
[quote]"That blindsided me Eric because I have always taken the heat for my own steroid use and never blamed anyone except myself. Except for a period of time when I did file a fictitious lawsuit against Vince McMahon over the steroid issue. I was very saddened by Kennedy's remarks because I had actually told him in person when I was having my book tour, one of the towns, he was coming off of an injury that he was so talented that he should never consider using steroids to enhance his physique because of his natural talking ability. I told him that I thought he could be another Roddy Piper-type character, and my wife was sitting there with me when we had this hour long discussion. It seemed like he did have a lot of respect for me and I felt sad. I counseled with Jim Ross over that Kennedy reaction and Jim Ross told me that he felt that Kennedy being the great guy that he is, "just needed more time under the learning tree," a young guy, had not really matured. I sent an email directly to Kennedy through John Laurinaitis' secretary and my first interview that I did, it was on CBS' Katie Couric, national news on CBS and before I went on the air Linda McMahon called me here in Phoenix from Stamford to thank me about going on the air and distancing the Benoit tragedy from steroids. I did that in my first interview and I got a personal phone-call from Linda McMahon and I reminded Ken Kennedy of that, and every interview that I did I distanced Benoit's tragedy from the use of steroids. I was very disappointed in Kennedy because he was such a nice guy to me and he probably still is a nice guy, but then to make that stand and then to be exposed. Honestly Eric and I am going on record right now, I am disappointed that Ken Kennedy has not sent me an apology email. I have been waiting for that apology and you know what, it has never come. I am going on record and I am extremely disappointed in Ken Kennedy and his character. His character should have automatically said, "Alright let me re-evaluate this situation and let me go back and do some research on all of the interviews that Billy Graham did." I was out there you know that, I was on a lot of television stations. I am very disappointed and honestly I am going to tell you right now, his failure to reach out to me and make amends was the final blow as far as me recognizing wrestlers as really good, honest, human beings that most of them are. It just crushed me that the guy didn't have the decency to send me an apology and has let me down in the quality of character in professional wrestlers."[quote]
The Associated Press released the following:
State commission delays decision on regulations for wrestling
ATLANTA -- In the face of opposition from the industry, the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission has delayed a decision on whether pro wrestling should be regulated.
About 70 current and former wrestlers and their promoters voiced their opposition to the proposed regulations at the commission meeting Tuesday. The board decided to delay consideration of the issue for 60 days.
The proposed regulations, such as having paid medical personnel on hand for all events, would apply only to smaller wrestling operations such as Clarkesville-based NWA Anarchy Wrestling. The board also wants to increase inspection of wrestlers and their organizations as well as banning physical or verbal threats toward the audience and the use of too much grease lotion or foreign substances on a wrestler's body.
"Asinine," is what NWA Anarchy wrestler Eddie Chastain called the proposed measures.
The commission already regulates the state's boxing and mixed martial arts, as well as ticket brokers. Professional wrestling also falls under the group's jurisdiction, but Stamford, Conn.-based World Wrestling Entertainment has been exempt due to a 2005 statute that excludes groups with total assets of more than $25 million.
NWA Anarchy owner Jerry Palmer said the new rules would put financial strain on small wrestling organizations. Furthermore, Palmer and others said, the proposed regulations would endanger wrestlers who would resort to performing in outlaw shows under no constraints.
"I think it went positive," commission chairman J.J. Biello said after the meeting. "We were looking for feedback. We're open to looking at the rules and changing some things as long as it fairly represents the interest of the state and the fighters, or entertainers in this case. Our main concern is the health and safety of the performers."
WWE representative John Taylor also was pleased.
"It's good they listened to people who know the business," Taylor said. "These rules they proposed are ridiculous."
The WWE would not be affected by the new proposals, but said earlier this week that it would pull all events out of Georgia if it's exemption were rescinded by the Legislature.
The pro wrestling industry has come under increased scrutiny after wrestler Chris Benoit killed his wife, son and then himself in their suburban Atlanta home in June.
Investigators have not given a motive for the killings, but the question of whether steroids played a role has lingered. Anabolic steroids were found in Benoit's home and tests showed Benoit had roughly 10 times the normal level of testosterone in his system when he died.
Some experts believe use of testosterone can contribute to paranoia, depression and violent outbursts known as "roid rage." Benoit's father, Michael, believes years of head trauma his son suffered in the ring contributed to the killings.

Dr. Phil Astin III has been slapped with another charge - Violating the Conditions of his Bail. It is expected that new charges will be filed against Astin, including overprescribing pain killers to Chris & Nancy Benoit.
More details:
The following is a press release from the Associated Press that has made the media rounds all over the Internet today. Apparently, the legislature in Atlanta has finally allowed Phil Astin to work during weekdays while awaiting his trial on the Chris Benoit case. Astin had financial problems due to his license being suspended, and his judge forbidding him to perform any kind of labor. This also caused his original lawyer to drop out of the case. Here's the release in its full:
Judge eases bond conditions for doctor of late wrestler Benoit - ATLANTA -- A federal magistrate judge has granted a request by the personal doctor for the late wrestler Chris Benoit to be allowed out of his house weekdays to work. The doctor, Phil Astin, faces charges of overprescribing medication to two patients other than Benoit, who killed his wife, 7-year-old son and himself in June. More charges against Astin are expected. Astin is under house arrest while awaiting trial, but asked for permission to be allowed to leave his home to work during the week. A towing service in Carrollton, where he lives, has offered him a job. A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office said a judge Friday granted the request, but kept in place other conditions that restrict Astin to his home except under certain circumstances. A trial date for Astin has not been set. Authorities said Benoit, 40, strangled his wife with a cord, used a choke hold to strangle his son, placed Bibles next to the bodies and hanged himself on a piece of exercise equipment the weekend of June 22 in their Fayetteville home.

U.S. Coins:
Public Views on Changing Coin Design
GAO-03-206: Published: Dec 17, 2002. Publicly Released: Dec 17, 2002.
Additional Materials:

The designs on three of the most common U.S. coins, the penny, nickel, and dime, have remained largely unchanged for over 50 years. The 50 State Quarters Program, involving a set of recurring designs commemorating each state, has been credited with generating renewed interest in the quarter by collectors and the public. A recent redesign of the new dollar coin has also increased the public's interest in collecting the coin, but it is not widely circulating. Concerned about the level of public interest in coins and the circulation of the dollar coin, Congress mandated a GAO review of U.S. coin design, with particular attention to increasing circulation of the dollar coin. GAO contracted with the Gallup Organization to survey a representative sample of U.S. adults to obtain public views on various coin design questions, including public preference for coin denominations, coin design features, the frequency of change in coin design, and ways to increase acceptance and use of the new dollar coin.
Overall, the public is satisfied with coin denominations used, coin design features, and the frequency of changes in coin designs. Although most people are not using the new dollar coin, a program with a rotating series of images could significantly increase new dollar coin collection, but only 26 percent said it would increase dollar coin use. The Gallup Survey indicated most adults in the continental United States were satisfied with current coin denominations. Over half of the respondents were opposed to the use of rounding values in cash transactions to the closest 5-cent interval to eliminate the need for the penny. Most respondents were opposed to the production of a 2-dollar coin. Most adults were satisfied with current coin designs. Most respondents said there is the right amount of wording on coins. Survey respondents were split on whether the actual number of cents should be shown on coins, such as including the numeral 25 on the quarter. Most adults were satisfied with how frequently coin designs are changed. Most respondents said the government should wait at least 10 years before changing the design on a coin, but there were some differences among age groups. Younger respondents were in favor of more frequent coin design changes, while older respondents favored less frequent changes. The survey also indicated that most people are interested in the 50 State Quarters Program. Most adults are not using the new dollar coin because of familiarity with the dollar bill, the coin not being widely available, and not wanting to carry around more coins. Most respondents said they were opposed to the elimination of the dollar bill to promote the coin's use, but when annual government savings of half a billion dollars were mentioned, most people then favored elimination of the dollar bill.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) -- A person familiar with the decision says Tim Pernetti is out as Rutgers athletic director.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement has not been made yet. The school will hold a press conference on campus at 1 p.m.
Pernetti dismissed basketball coach Mike Rice Wednesday after a videotape aired showing him shoving, grabbing and throwing balls at players in practice and using gay slurs. The scandal has now cost Pernetti his job some five months after he didn't fire Rice when the video first became available.
Instead, with the approval of university president Robert Barchi, Pernetti, after being given the video in late November by a former employee, suspended Rice for three games, fined him $75,000 and ordered him to attend anger management classes. But the video was broadcast Tuesday on ESPN, and prompted scores of sharp criticism nationwide.

Shipping this week: Scaling, scailing edition
short breather last week) it looks like it's finally time to round out the big holiday gaming schedule. The biggest release this week is, without a shadow of a doubt, Prince of Persia. After the Prince took a questionable turn to the Dark Side (which followed his jaunt to the Emo Side), Ubisoft decided the entire series needed a refresh and the result is available this week. Here's hoping the Prince manages to scale those obstacles with panache and aplomb rather than falling to his death with all the grace of a stone. Here are all of this week's releases:

There have been a major breakthrough in salteless water conditioners recently.
But I am skeptical about placing one well water over 5-6 grains hard.
Read the entire post and love it! Can some please kick Ken Hoffman & LifeSourceWater out of here I can't take it anymore. Check this link out http://bestwaterpurificationblog.com/ whatever you do DO NOT BUY LIFESOURCE WATER! Ken lip service is all you got and what you say is really making you look like well what you are a cheesy, snake oil, no morals, or brain of your own to even know what you are talking about. Personally I take my hat off to I think Andy @ Kinetico who posted here, why? Kinetico is a true manufacture with its own patiented heads and uniquely designed systems proprietary to the rest out there. No I don't work for Kinetico. The rest of the so called manufactures who in reality are assemblers are stuck on the 5600 head still and believing there own lies. LifeSource, Ken, or anyone for that matter please explain how 12 x 4O GAC and the Beotron reduce TDS or hardness. I got your Beotron sitting in my garage 1 1/2 x 24 inches schdule 80 PVC pipe, 2 end caps sealed, a white crystal like media with a copper wire running down the middle of the pipe, now tell me Ken please once again that you sell a water softner alternative with no issues at 22 grains of hardness. You believe what they fed you all these years you are still drinking the koolaid man. You can't even provide rational mechicanical and or engineering proof of your claims which makes you look sorry, but like an idiot. Bob Vila, if your out there FYI and I'm sure Ken can confirm your images and testimonials are still being used in the LifeSource Water pitch, not cool. LifeSource you should be ashamed of yourself, but hey Ken tell us about the non salt system again that now comes with an anti scale media 20 inch cartridge for 500.00! Now why in the world would a water softner alternative need that?
Check out this article about how to choose a water softener. Very helpful!
Hello there! I have a broken down water softener, lots of iron, does anyone think that I should or shouldn't buy a salt free system. I'm kind of leaning towards salt free. Before my softener broke, I wasn't able to drink from my faucet, I would like to be able to drink the water. By the way, I have we'll water. Thanks
I've had a Kinetico for over 21 years and it's still running.
The only reason I wound up here is because I thouoght I would explore cheaper options when I do need to replace my current unit. Having read the postings here however, I'm going to stick with Kinetico because it does sound like you get what you pay for. I have well water also by the way.

Santa Clarita has HARD WATER!!! And water softeners were outlawed in our city about 7 years ago! Recently, I paid $3800 for LifeSource system in my house. When the salesman came to my house, he measured the tap water at "23" - which he claimed is very high. Yet, I don't know what it is now that I have the LifeSource, but the taste is better. However, the hardness is still there. There are water SPOTS on everything, and my hair still feels coarse after shampooing. I thought that would all change once the system was installed. In fact, my 3 yr old granite counters are being destroyed by the hard water. The laundry still has the rough feeling of the fabric when it comes out of the dryer (I use Downey fabric softener, too). I'm not happy with what I purchased. What a waste of $3800..........
After reading post after post it's clear no one system is perfect. I'm no plumber, and I didn't do the math but instead of buying two systems (one to soften to remove scale and one to take care of any chlorine issue) for a few thousand bucks. Go out and purchase single individual filters and such (from what I saw a decent one is under 100 replaceable filters even cheaper) and install where needed. Take out chlorine for the clothes, soften the tub, R O the drinking. Then at least you can judge for yourself what type of water you enjoy without spending lots for something you ultimately become disappointed with. just a thought.
Best water softener is a really important issue,that demands scholastic market research.There are too many questions about this subject,in every housekeeping.Before someone buy a water softener,must search and answer the questions they have been created. http://homeimprovement-quote.com/

Friday, November 21, 2014 12:00pmPresident Obama made a lot of claims this week about how his move on immigration will boost the economy. We look at which industries will be impacted most, and how. Plus, one of the jobs of the Federal Reserve is to provide regulatory oversight of banks. But the Fed's watchers think the relationship between the Fed and the banks is way too cozy, and they're giving the Fed a hard time on the Hill. Finally, the NFL has moved Sunday's Bills-Jets game from Ralph Wilson Stadium in snow-covered Buffalo, N.Y., to Monday night in Detroit. A move like that is rare, so we explain the many logistics behind it.
Friday, November 21, 2014 11:57amThis weekend, Lizzie O'Leary speaks with Marketplace's Amy Scott about Generation Z and their economic ambitions. Deena Fidas of the Human Rights Campaign discusses coming out at work and how it impacts business and personal career trajectory. Lizzie has brunch at Best Buy with a manager working on Black Friday, and Marketplace Tech's Ben Johnson explains how to use dynamic maps to get home for Thanksgiving. How do you make Thanksgiving work for your budget? Is a holiday meal the best time to bring up money?

However, the President will not allow this group to get healthcare coverage under the Affordable Care Act. So why is healthcare not part of the deal? And in honor of Marketplace's 25th anniversary, we're looking at some of the surprising ways prices have changed over the last quarter century. Today, art.

Daily Speed Read: News You Should Know June 27, 2014
By Lisa Keen
Originally printed 6/27/2014 (Issue 2226 - Between The Lines News)
UTAH HEADING TO SUPREME COURT NEXT: Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes issued a statement late Wednesday saying his office intends to file a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge the Tenth Circuit panel decision striking down the state's marriage ban for same-sex couples.
BOULDER KEEPS ROLLING: Boulder, Colorado, continued issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples Thursday, even after the state attorney general said the licenses are invalid.
SPECIAL MESSAGE: From July 1 through Labor Day, Speed Read Q will publish on a weekly basis. When a breaking news story is of great importance, we will get it to you as quickly as possible.
ST. LOUIS BEGINS ISSUING LICENSES: In a move reminiscent of former San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom in 2004, officials in St. Louis, Missouri, on Wednesday issued marriage licenses to four same-sex couples, in open defiance of the state's marriage ban for same-sex couples. The ceremony for the first couple was held in Mayor Francis Slay's office, officiated by Municipal Judge Joseph Murphy. City officials said they would use the marriages to launch a lawsuit challenging the state's ban, according to the St. Louis Dispatch. Meanwhile, Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster launched a counteroffensive, filing a lawsuit Thursday against a St. Louis County official who granted the marriage licenses.
WITHOUT A STAY, INDIANA MARRIES MORE: Federal Judge Richard Young has still not responded to Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller's motion for an emergency stay of the June 25 ruling striking the state's marriage ban for same-sex couples. The Indianapolis Star reported another 200 couples married in Indianapolis Thursday, along with more than 100 in other counties. Zoeller on Thursday filed an appeal with the Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
RECESS APPOINTMENT CURTAILED: The U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision Thursday that narrows the opportunities for a president to make a recess appointment. Recess appointments have been a means for some presidents to get controversial nominees into office and have them confirmed later. President Clinton used a recess appointment to install gay philanthropist James Hormel as the U.S.'s first openly gay ambassador. President Obama used them twice for gay appointees in 2010 -Chai Feldblum as EEOC Commissioner and Richard Sorian as HHS Assistant Secretary. The high court's decision, in NLRB v. Noel Canning, limits recess appointments to times when the Senate is in recess for at least 10 days. The decision was unanimous and written by Justice Stephen Breyer.
BUFFER ZONE STRUCK DOWN: The Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and the National Center for Lesbian Rights submitted a brief in support of a Massachusetts law that attempted to protect women seeking abortions by creating a 35-foot setback or "buffer zone" for anti-abortion protests outside such facilities. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court on Thursday said such buffer zones violate the First Amendment. Chief Justice John Roberts authored the opinion, McCullen v. Coakley, noting that public sidewalks are the "traditional public fora" for "assembly, communicating thoughts be!tween citizens, and discussing public questions" and "government may not 'selectively...shield the public from some kinds of speech on the ground that they are more offensive than others.'" Roberts' decision characterized protesters as seeking to hand out literature and to make offers of help to women entering the clinics. But the brief from GLAD, NGLTF, and NCLR noted the buffer zones are not to stifle expression but to protect the safety of women. "Women should be free to seek comprehensive medical care--including birth control and abortion--without the fear of harassment and violence from protesters," said NGLTF Executive Director Rea Carey.

Swing Shift Movie Review
"There was no other time like it, and it changed our way of life forever," the box's text proclaims. The movie casts "a nostalgic eye on a time when ordinary citizens bonded to accomplish extraordinary things."
Mr. or Ms. Box Writer couldn't be more wrong. Swing Shift is as much about World War II as Boogie Nights is about the 1970s porn industry. (FYI: Demme is one of Paul Thomas Anderson's directing heroes.) The movies are about how the people act and respond among the chaos of those times, but the movies work beyond their settings and the historical generalizations attached to them. There is not one battle scene in Swing Shift, and there doesn't need to be. There's plenty to keep our attention in California, the movie's setting.
While her husband is off at war, Kay (Goldie Hawn) decides to take a job as a factory worker building fighter planes. It's partly out of boredom, partly to take her mind off the craziness overseas. Though she and the other women initially struggle at the workplace, they soon find their way. Kay becomes more independent and even starts a friendship with her co-worker and neighbor, Hazel (Christine Lahti).
Kay is clearly reborn, and as part of that she also begins dating her supervisor, Lucky (Kurt Russell, looking like he's 15), which leads into a legitimate romance and more good times. But Kay is fully aware of the reality that faces her when her husband (Ed Harris) returns. "I wish it could be like this forever," she says at a lavish New Year's Eve party. Lucky, forever the dreamer, asks her why that's so.
Demme and writer Rob Morton handle Kay and Lucky's relationship and the Harris character's return with a certain restraint, which is to the movie's immense benefit. Swing Shift takes place during a time of crisis and we certainly don't need accompanying dramatic fireworks. These are people finding their way, not finding epiphanies, and the acting falls right in line.
The performances are tinged with the realization that time is running out; that when the war ends, life has to begin again. Harris is very good as the cuckolded husband, who doesn't understand why his wife had to change to begin with. Lahti adds a lot to her role, making Hazel more than some spunky dime dancer, but a woman who's getting tired of late nights and loose morals. The war gives her a structure she can thrive in. Hawn bottles up her bubbly personality to good effect; you completely buy her renaissance. Russell, a consistently good actor, oozes the right amount of charm.
Swing Shift is certainly not Demme's best movie. In fact I'm sure he would like to forget about it. Hawn reportedly had another director shoot 30 minutes of the film, and no one wanted to own up to the screenplay -- "Rob Morton" was a pseudonym. But the movie stays with you because Demme loves all of his characters and cares about their consequences. Sofia Coppola and Wes Anderson could learn a few things watching this. Or maybe they already have.

See GoDaddy's clever .NYC barge ad
Barge message taunts neighbors across the Hudson.
Earlier today I wrote about the highly anticipated launch of .NYC domain names. GoDaddy is promoting the domain name heavily around New York City, including a big ad on a barge being piloted on the Hudson River.
Here are a couple photos of the barge, taunting New Jersey residents about how New York City has a domain name and they don't.
In fact, only people who live or own a business in New York City are eligible to register the domain names. GoDaddy and other registrars are offering the domain names for about starting $25 today. Click here to see the pictures
Times have changed: GoDaddy CEO to speak at women in computing event
CEO of company known for sexy commercials to speak on panel at women in computing conference.GoDaddy's CEO is speaking on the "Male Allies" panel at next week's Anita Borg Institute Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing event.
Let that soak in for a moment.
Such a role for a GoDaddy CEO would not have been imaginable five years ago. The company, known for its objectifying TV commercials, has rankled women for the past decade.
But the man behind those commercials is no longer at the helm of GoDaddy*. Blake Irving is now running the show and wants to change the company's image. That includes ending the controversial commercials (a move that was underway before he took the CEO gig). Click to continue reading…

Big news: GoDaddy now fully functional with Afternic
Fast Transfer integration is good news for all domainers that sell domains with fixed prices.

Christine Jones' gubernatorial bid ends in primaries
Former GoDaddy exec places third in Republican primary.
Christine Jones, former general counsel for GoDaddy, lost her bid to become the next governor of Arizona in the Republican primary yesterday.
Doug Ducey, current Arizona treasurer and former CEO of ice cream franchise Cold Stone Creamery, took 37% of the vote in the primary. Jones finished third with 16.7% of the vote.
GoDaddy founder Bob Parsons contributed over $1 million to fund attack ads against Ducey. Parsons told reporters his commercials were in response to Ducey claiming Jones was a "line employee" at GoDaddy; as general counsel she was one of the company's top executives.
Running in a Republican primary in Arizona, Jones and the other candidates leaned pretty far to the right to attract voters. Unsurprisingly, one attack against Jones was her cameo in a risque GoDaddy Super Bowl commercial.
Jones' 16.7% take in a crowded field was probably a lot better than people expected when she threw her hat in the ring. Her newly found name recognition should help her in business, or should she decide to run for another office.

Outing the open-source leeches
Sources: InfoWorld, InformationWeek
As open-source boosters soak up the positive signals they hear from new federal CIO Vivek Kundra, it's worth noting how much the open-source world has — and has not — changed in the past few years.
Part of open source's growing mainstream acceptance is no doubt attributable to the entry of profit-seeking firms that tweak and improve the software or provide helpful support services to those who want to use it. This makes it more palatable to enterprise customers such as the government.
However, InfoWorld's Bill Snyder writes that this commercial success increasingly rankles open-source traditionalists who are philosophically committed to the community-minded roots of the movement. In particular, the worst offenders are those freeloading companies that profit from the code but don't give back with their own new contributions. And as the old guard points out, contributions are the sustenance of the community.
But your open-source leech is my open-source user, and getting more of those is a good thing, points out InformationWeek's Serdar Yegulalp. One of the problems with the polarizing labels, which by the way are very old-school open source, is that they are not as cut and dried as some might think. What constitutes giving back is a subjective call. So deal with the fact that some people will make a buck off open source, get over the name calling, and focus instead on developing useful software that benefits people.
The water's great
Source: InformationWeek
You don't need to convince the Defense Department that open source has a place in government information technology. Defense Information Systems Agency CIO John Garing tells InformationWeek that open source is the wave of the future and figures in largely with the agency's goal to be the military services' internal cloud provider.
DISA's role as an active participant and contributor — what do the open-source collectivists think of that? — in the open-source community allows the agency to enjoy the benefits inherent in that model. For example, one of those perks is that open software can be more secure than its proprietary, commercial cousin because it has more eyes on it and fingers poking at it, so flaws are found and fixed more quickly.
Guide to local customs
Source: CIO
Another longstanding benefit of open source is that it can often be less expensive than commercial software options, no small factor during ever-tightening budgets. That's prompting more organizations to explore tapping the open-source community for their own pet IT projects.
To succeed, you must have a well-thought-out community plan that details exactly what your organization needs and wants from its community and how it can achieve those goals, writes Joe Brockmeier, the openSUSE Community Manager, in CIO. One tip: if you really want a village contributing to your project, you need to cede some control — or at least some semblance of it — or no one will come to play.
Get revved up for the new model
Source: ComputerWorld
There is one area where commercial software will always have open-source beat: You will never see a big-budget marketing blitz with TV ads, free T-shirts and sun-splashed destination events when new open-source software debuts. But that doesn't mean freshly minted open-source apps are any less useful, cool or beneficial.
ComputerWorld's Esther Schindler highlights 25 highly anticipated open-source releases expected in 2009.
Her list includes the prerequisite nerdy items such as programming and IT administrative tools, but it also includes plenty of business and everyman apps that we all can appreciate.
One example is the Android mobile device operating system, developed with a big hand from Google. It's goal is to unleash an open source-based ecosystem of developers creating cool and useful smart phone apps such as the ones spawned by Apple's wildly successful iPhone. Web 2.0ers can also get their motors running with new wiki workgroup collaboration platforms such as MindTouch Deki and Foswiki.

I am not satisfied with the result after almost a year. Only 1/3 fat remains with Brava using and fat transfer to my breast. Doc. Roger Khouri was careless, he didn't give me a normal breast shape nor same size of my breast. And plus, this procedure is TOTALLY NOT no incision, no scar, quick recovery procedure. In my and most patients' experiences, it is painful, leaving scar tissue, 6 month recovery for those wants breast augmentation with their own fat. My arms couldn't move for several weeks after this surgery; my breast size are different after this surgery, plus there is several dented injection marks or called dimples on my right boob, which is very obvious; my left boob is sagging and shaped awkward. I have two questions:
1. Is it better to stick to my original surgeon to have my boob shape and size fixed or is there any doctors could give me recommendations on my case?
2. How can I deal with the dented injection mark? Have a surgeon fixed them or find a dermatologist?
I am not satisfied with the result after almost a...
Result after a yr done by Roger Khouri
Lost faith on my original surgeon. Should I? Shouldn't I?
I suffered a lot from his protocol. Both physically and emotionally. Tired... But I'll still be brave, positive, happier and stronger. I will go to Miami and ask them why they stopped responding me and helping me and let myself suffering? when I have time and effort.
I like their responsible attitude and they care about their patients
Actually, the stuff in Miami Bresast Center, Dr. Roger Khouri, nurse Roise, Cindy, brava coach Darlene, they are very responsible people. Dr. Khouri said he'll try his best to help me with my unhappy result. I was impressed. And I'll ask them for the specific proposal.
Diformity boob:( heartbreaking
He said there is no guarantee to fix it!
I wanna a reason
Why my surgery failed? Because of using Brava or the protocol doesn't fit me or the surgeon or what? My boob separated, it has two parts. How come?
Boobies are so important to a girl. Who can understand how I feel?
Deformity boobies, please look your work. Roger Khouri I told you I am a patient, how can you ask for a patient's apologize? I need respect.
Need some help!
Please help! Whoever is the best to help me out of this bad situation. My boobs need repaired. Who's the best??? Emergency!
Conflict mood
I kept myself busy and tried to forget about my experience.
Comments was removal from Realself team. It against human beings WILL
I am very upset about my experience in Miami Breast Center, I would suggest every lady to make sure it's not worth it to do it in Miami Breast Center. The reason is that they don't care about patients real feel and ONLY care about their Reputation. If they care about me, they wouldn't stopped helping me and forced me to write a review against my will. Ok?!
A survey.
Does anyone know how much a plastic surgeon contribut to the public advertisement to improve their reputayion against those bad reviews? So ridiculous?!

Birthday Dinner near Canon Theatre
My wife and I are going to see Monty Python's Spam-a-Lot for her birthday in mid-July. It's playing at the Canon Theatre, and I was hoping to get suggestions for a good birthday dinner somewhere around that area.
I'm hoping for a budget of around $80-120 for two.
Doesn't have to be TOO close to the theatre, but in the general area would be good. Reasonable walking distance would be especially good.
We're pretty open about cuisine, although sadly no raw or unpasteurized foods at the moment for her (we're expecting!), so please no sushi. That also means no alcohol (I'm not a big drinker anyway), so we don't need to factor that into the price.
Only other limitation is that we need to be able to eat there early enough to make it to the show by 8pm (on a Friday).
Any suggestions (with websites if possible) would be great!
Thanks in advance for any help!
On Yonge St. across from the Eaton Centre is "The Superior." It's great. It's what they describe as "Eclectic." I love the place, been there several times. It's right in your price range. Has great food and great decor. Has an oyster bar as well.
I recommend Adega on Elm Street just north of the Eaton Centre. Their piri piri shrimp is excellent. Very friendly wait staff and the complimentary sundried olives and portuguese bread they serve is delicious. Enjoy!
I second the recommendation for Adega. I very much enjoy their grilled sardines and grilled octopus.
Adega sounds great, and I would love to try it, but I'm a little apprehensive... fish has lately been 'one of those foods' where she can eat it sometimes but not others.
I'll check into it, but additional suggestions would be welcome.
RE: Savoy -- Do you think it would be possible to order from the regular menu and still get to the theatre by 8:00 if we got there early enough? The normal selection seems much better -- the pre-theatre menu is a bit plain.

What is French studies?
French studies is the study of all things French – French language, French culture, French film, art, literature, philosophy and linguistics. It also involves learning about French-speaking parts of the world other than France, in Europe, Africa and North America.
Why study French?
Learning French gives you access to the rich intellectual and cultural contributions of the French-speaking world, from great works of literature, to cinema, theatre and song. Building on the historical achievements of the likes of Marcel Proust, François Truffaut and Jacques Brel, the French-speaking world continues to excel in all these areas, as evidenced by the novels of Marc Lévy, the films of Xavier Dolan and the songs of Stromae.
As knowledge of English becomes more widespread globally, the future will increasingly belong to those who stand out because they master other languages as well. In 2010, there were estimated to be around 220 million Francophones across five continents; by 2050, the figure is likely to exceed 700 million. Knowledge of French will thus give you a distinct advantage on the job market, whether in the UK, in Europe – where French is an official and major working language of the EU – or internationally.
Why study French at Queen Mary?
With an overall student satisfaction rate of 92% in the 2014 National Student Survey (NSS), the Department of French at Queen Mary ranks equal second among London universities, and is in the top ten in the Russell Group. Student satisfaction in the areas of teaching, assessment and feedback, learning resources, organisation and management, and personal development was higher than for the top quartile of universities nationwide (all subjects). Students of French at Queen Mary enjoy a welcoming, intellectually stimulating and supportive academic environment. Teaching and research are closely linked, which means that you are taught by specialists in their field.
What degree programmes are available in French?
French at Queen Mary may be studied as a single honours degree or combined with a wide range of other subjects: a second language (available from beginners' level), Linguistics, Comparative Literature, Film Studies, Business Management, English, Drama, History or Politics/International Relations (click on Undergraduate study for information on individual programmes).
What will I study?
The Department has a particularly strong tradition of teaching in areas of visual culture, thought, literature, linguistics and cultural history. From Parisian graffiti to contemporary women's writing, from Mauritian Creole to Belgian comic strips, you will find things to fire your imagination. Alongside subjects related to French studies, you will study the French language to a high level of oral and written proficiency, with the help of a dynamic team of native-speaker language tutors.
What is the year abroad?
Your third year is typically spent in a French-speaking country, which gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the French language while gaining a range of experiences and skills which are attractive to future employers. You can study at one of the Department's university partners, take up a work placement as a language assistant in a school, or arrange your own employment. Queen Mary students spend their year abroad in France, Belgium and Switzerland, but also travel as far as Québec in Canada and Réunion in the Indian Ocean (see the Year Abroad in French page for more details). If you would prefer a shorter degree than the traditional four-year programme with a year abroad, the Department also offers a unique three-year degree that includes a semester at the University of London Institute in Paris.
What extra-curricular activities are available?
To complement their academic development, students of French are also encouraged to put their language skills to use through a vibrant programme of social activities organised by the Department throughout the year, including film events, theatre workshops and cafés philosophiques. Queen Mary students can also benefit from the multitude of activities available in French throughout London, such as those organised by the Institut français and the monthly Soirées Pompette cabarets set up by a former student of the Department.
Does the Department offer postgraduate research programmes?
Staff in the French Department also welcome applications for PhD study in a wide range of topics, from literature to visual culture and linguistics. Click on Postgraduate study for more information.
