Smaller produce companies are notching up the percentage of health care plan premiums paid by employees, according to a new survey from Irvine, Calif.-based Western Growers.
The survey of compensation and human resources practices in 84 participating produce companies reveals that top-level employees of large companies pay about the ratio for health insurance as top employees of smaller companies, according to a news release about the data.
The fourth annual survey by Western Growers is available to members and non-members at a cost of $1,500 for the compensation survey, $500 for the H.R. Practices survey or $1,800 for both at www.agsalary.com. Both purchase options include membership in Western Growers for one year, according to the news release. The 153- page report is free to companies participating in the survey.
With the Affordable Care Act looming, the release said decisions about employee health insurance benefits are a major concern of produce industry executives, according to the report.
"Our member companies will have an opportunity to see what other companies are doing relative to the cost of premiums for their employees,' said Karen Timmins, vice president of human resources for Irvine, Calif.-based Western Growers, In the past, she said smaller companies - less than $20 million in annual revenue - used to pay more of the health care premium for their employees compared with the larger companies of more than $200 million in annual revenue.
Now, Timmins said, smaller companies aren't paying quite as much of the percentage of their employees' health care premiums as they have in the past, she said.
"The smaller companies are requiring the employees to pay a greater percentage of the premiums," she said. In some previous surveys, some smaller companies paid the entire bill for their employee's health coverage, she said.
Timmins said the latest survey shows employee-only coverage for a PPO plan in companies less than $20 million in revenue cost $500 in total monthly premium, and cost to the employee was $61.88 per month. For employee-only PPO coverage in companies with revenues over $200 million, cost to the employee on average was $76.22 per month, Timmins said.
The compensation part of the Western Growers survey reports base pay, incentives paid, total annual cash compensation and auto reimbursement policies, according to the release. The H.R. Practices Survey summarizes survey participants' policies and practices for: pay for performance plans; merit increase budgets; health plan and other benefit offerings, retirement plans; paid time off programs; and austerity measures, according to the report.

AMA Declares Obesity is a Disease
August 12, 2013
The American Medical Association's House of Delegates recently joined other influential groups, including the National Institutes of Health, the Social Security Administration and Medicare, in declaring obesity a disease. Although some disagree with the decision, it could have important effects and help change the way the medical community tackles obesity - a complex and prevalent health issue.
Obesity is serious: it is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, which impact millions of people. It is also associated with more than 40 other medical problems including cancer, sleep apnea and arthritis. To varying extents, these illnesses can be treated with medications, however the core problem remains: the obesity. Bariatric surgery, such as the Lap-Band or Gastric Sleeve, has the highest cure rate for obesity and its related conditions, but in the past was viewed as a "last resort" option. In the last decade, improvements have been made in bariatric surgery that have made this treatment option a strong choice for many. Primarily because of the introduction of safer procedures and successful improvement seen in diabetes, both the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) include weight loss surgery as a safe and effective early treatment option in fighting obesity.
Unfortunately, some insurance companies specifically exclude the treatment of obesity and severe obesity from their coverage policies. Even though the AMA has no legal power, their "recognition of obesity as a disease sends a powerful message that access to evidence-based treatments across the spectrum of the disease are medically necessary, and should be treated in similar fashion to treatments for Type 2 diabetes, heart disease or high blood pressure," according to Dr. Jaime Ponce, President of the ASMBS. This may be a good step in the right direction for getting obesity treatment the appropriate level of attention.

Among the nation's billionaires, one of the most sought-after pieces of real estate right now is a quiet storefront in Sioux Falls, S.D.
A branch of Chicago's Pritzker family rents space here, down the hall from the Minnesota clan that controls the Radisson hotel chain. Other rooms are held by Miami and Hong Kong money.
Most days, the small offices of this former five-and-dime are shut. But even empty, they provide their owners with an important asset: a South Dakota address for their trust funds.
In the past four years, the amount of money administered by South Dakota trust companies such as these has tripled to $121 billion – almost all of it from out of state. The families needn't move to South Dakota, deposit their money at a local bank, or even touch down in the private jet. Little more than renting an address in Sioux Falls is required to take advantage of South Dakota's tax-friendly trust laws.
States such as South Dakota are "creating laws that are conducive to a massive exploitation of a federal tax loophole," said Edward McCaffery, a law professor at the University of Southern California. "We have a tax haven in our midst."
South Dakota's sudden popularity illustrates how the wealthiest Americans are embracing ever more creative ways to reduce taxes legally. Executives at South Dakota Trust Co., one of the state's biggest, estimate that one-quarter of their business comes from special vehicles known as dynasty trusts that are designed to avoid the federal estate tax. Creation of such trusts has surged in recent years as changes in federal law have enabled more money to be placed in them.
While the super-rich use various tools to escape the levy, the advantage of dynasty trusts is that they shield a family's wealth forever. That defies the spirit of the estate tax, enacted almost 100 years ago to discourage the perpetuation of dynastic wealth.
Out-of-state customers also see a chance to shelter their investments from income taxes in their home states.
Others are drawn by South Dakota's iron-clad secrecy and protections of trust assets from creditors and ex-wives, with features emulating those available in Bermuda and other island havens.
Lawmakers in South Dakota, home to two of the nation's 10 poorest counties, say they're bolstering the trust industry to generate work for local law firms and bankers while forging ties with prosperous families that could eventually build a factory or a warehouse here. The legislators are turning the Mount Rushmore State into the Bermuda of the prairie.
As much as anyone, Pierce H. McDowell III can take credit for this transformation. He works upstairs from the hall of empty offices, as president of South Dakota Trust.
At 56, McDowell has been promoting the state he affectionately calls "North America's Siberia" for most of his career. In 1993, he published an article in a national estate-planning journal recommending that wealthy people nationwide establish dynasty trusts in South Dakota.
Because the estate tax is imposed on large fortunes at death, McDowell wrote, wealth large enough to last for generations must contend with multiple tax bills. A father pays the tax when he leaves his money to his children, who pay again when they pass it down. Each generation faces a toll. The current rate is 40 percent.
McDowell's solution was for the father to establish a never-ending trust that pays each generation of heirs only what they spend, while the rest of the money grows. In 1993, when McDowell was writing, that wasn't possible in 47 of the 50 states because of an ancient rule limiting the duration of trusts to the lifetime of a living heir, plus 21 years.
South Dakota repealed that rule in 1983, and unlike Idaho and Wisconsin – the other two states without the provision – it had no income tax. So, McDowell wrote, a trust set up there could shield a big fortune from taxes for centuries, escaping tax bills as it hands out cash to great-great-great-grandchildren and beyond.
McDowell's sales pitch got far more attractive when Congress gave the idea an inadvertent boost.
"I call it the trust tsunami of 2012," McDowell said.
Rush to meet deadline
Most Americans don't have to worry about the estate tax; fewer than 1 in 700 pay it. Congress applies the tax, and related taxes on other transfers to heirs, only when a fortune exceeds certain thresholds. For complicated reasons, the amount that most people can place in dynasty trusts is usually limited to one of these exemptions, set at about $1 million throughout the 1990s. It's the size of the glass into which a wealthy family can pour the wine.
Since 2000 this exemption rose, reaching $5 million per person by 2011. The temporary law was scheduled to expire after 2012, at which point it would revert to $1.4 million. Congress didn't act to make the higher amount permanent until Jan. 1, 2013.
With the fate of the exemption uncertain, McDowell said, his clients rushed to meet the deadline during the last months of 2012, creating billions of dollars' worth of new trusts. By the end of the year, he had added about 500 trusts to his rolls, more than twice the number in a typical year.
McDowell's firm now administers trusts worth $14 billion, according to its website, almost all of them originating in other states.
President Barack Obama has called for closing the dynasty trust loophole in annual budget proposals, even though the change wouldn't boost tax receipts under his administration. The impact of dynasty trusts on federal revenue is far in the future – though potentially enormous, said Lawrence Waggoner, a retired professor at University of Michigan Law School.
"The federal government won't lose out for maybe 90 years, and maybe that's why Congress is not terribly interested in the subject," Waggoner said. "The longer they procrastinate, you have larger and larger amounts in perpetually tax-exempt trusts."
State revenue modest
One clue to how much wealthy families might save comes in McDowell's 1993 article. Just $1 million invested in a dynasty trust, and earning 12 percent a year, would swell to $1.9 billion in 85 years, he wrote – compared with $488 million if the same trust was located in New York, subject to both state income taxes and the federal estate tax when it expired.
Beneficiaries must still pay personal income tax on distributions from these trusts, McDowell said. If a family runs out of heirs before a trust is exhausted, the leftovers are typically directed to a charity.
Loosening local laws to attract out-of-state business is a proven tactic for South Dakota. In 1981, it lured Citicorp's credit card business, and hundreds of jobs, from New York by becoming the first state to repeal limits on interest rates. Other lenders followed. The credit card industry, along with a boom in farm profits, help explain why Sioux Falls' unemployment rate of 2.9 percent is less than half the national average.
But the trust industry's contributions to state coffers have been modest. Without an income tax, South Dakota doesn't get revenue directly from the trusts.
Nor has the industry become a major employer. The state estimates that about 100 South Dakotans work for locally chartered trust companies. By comparison, a typical Walmart Supercenter employs about 350.

yangski post your hands in the hands thread don't just post it somewhere else because you didn't get as much feedback as you wanted. Also, the i doesn't fit the hand at all, maybe if you capitalized?
here's a slight variation of something from yesterday, trying to decide if I should keep the a uppercase or lower, get back to meh but i think this flows better
Yangski: It looks lik Panqski, PWsomethingski. Or maybe a cursive S vs a P. Try write it clearly with a touch of style. Do a couple pages of them then when you feel like you've got something with a bit of flow post it up.
Actually I kinda dig the y it could just use a bit more on the bottom to make it more yish....all just thought mind you. but it's good to see that he listened to the "space it out" advice, people who don't listen are obnoxious mutherfuckers....but to the hand thread with this

Never soldered before? Here's where to start.
If you appreciate this instructible, please visit my blog for more ideas:
Last week I decided to make a USB powered flashlight.
While I know a lot about computers, I'm pretty much a solder newbie.
This was a problem.
Luckily, though, I work with a formerly-NASA-micro-soldering-certified technician and soldering instructor.
Yesterday, he instructed me as I soldered together my lovely little flashlight.
My newbie perspective is useful as I won't overlook any "obvious" things that more experienced solderers might.
And my knowledgable overseer (Thanks Terry!) taught me the proper methods, so you can do things the right way too.
You will need:
A soldering iron
If you can't get a soldering iron with a digital temp readout (and I can't) get a soldering iron with a temperature dial. You'll be glad you did in the long run.
Step 1: Prepare the Iron
**If you're reading this instructable, you shouldn't be soldering chips (ICs) yet, but if you WERE to solder ICs, you'd be soldering on an ESD mat.
Plug in the iron and turn it on. Using water, soak the sponge that comes with the iron and squeeze it out a little. This sponge is used to clean solder off the tip of the soldering iron.
Adjust the temperature of the iron to about 750 F(75 on the dial) like so:
Step 2: Clean the Tip
When the iron is hot, wipe both sides of the soldering tip on the sponge. Your goal is to remove old solder from the tip.
Step 3: Tin the Tip
Holding the solder in one hand and the iron in the other, briefly touch the solder to both sides of the tip.
Step 4: Why Tin?
Try to solder immediately after tinning the tip, the sooner the better.
Periodically while you are working (after soldering one or two connections), clean and re-tin the tip.
Tinning improves conductivity and makes soldering easier, as well as quicker, which is a good thing.
Some electronic components are sensitive to heat, and the quicker you can solder them, the less likely they are to be heat damaged.
According to the instructive Terry, properly tinning the iron tip before putting it away will help preserve it.
Comparing our soldering iron (like new), and the iron of the guys down the hall (terrible) this seems to be a good practice to keep.
Happy soldering! -Royal

I like these guides, but something that keeps annoying me is NONE of them explain this: How OFTEN do I tin? Is it every time I go to solder? Is it just when I get a new tip?
I have this exact same iron... I bought a new tip for it because
the old one is a short fat nub. Now the new one WONT MELT SOLDIER.
Doesn't have any problem melting the parts I am trying to soldier.
Plenty of heat to completely ruin many new parts in short time, but
can't handle the SAME soldier that the old one had NO PROBLEM melting,
even at LOW temperature.
Would not "tin" at first either. Started at 40 & slowly went up til it melted... it never melted. So much for "tinning".
Even at FULL 85... Parts get super hot, enough to melt... but not the soldier.
The ONLY way I can use the new tip is to sand it down each time I use it.
~Rather pissed @ my iron
If you have some spare time consider a fab class or soldering class at a local college or vocational school you will learn a lot of tips and tricks if not just hit youtube and forums. The problem you are having to my knowledge is that you have some sort of gunk/oxidation on your tip and need to clean that off, we use this solder tip cleaner/chemical paste. Once cleaned don't forget to tin your tip after every use. I don't suggest you sand your tip after every use because then you will wear down the tip in no time.
Heat conductivity. And I believe it's because it prevents the oxidation, and keeps the tip covered in molten solder.
Great instructable; I look forward to learning a LOT here! Hope onde day to add my input and help others :-)
have fun.
I just bought a iron from radioshack, and it cost about $8. I got home turned it on and suposedly tinned it( melted the solder on there and wiped off the excess. My joints were not perfect, but as I went on I relized my tip was eroding away. What can I do to stop this, I have rosin core solder. This has happened to me plenty of times before. Is it me or the fact that I have a cheap soldering iron? Please help. A video would be realy nice.
now I have not been using it all that much, but my good iron came with a flux soaked brass sponge and its tip is just now starting to show some wear over 2 years later.
The other side of that coin is people argue the metal sponges scrape off the coatings used on better quality tips, though I have never seen brass foil knock a hole in to cast iron ...
To add to the above, I believe one of the many good reasons to buy a temperature controlled soldering iron is that you can adjust the iron temperature for both the job at hand (heating more metal takes more energy, too much energy damages fine components) and for the specific mix of solder you are using. There are many off brand digital thermocouple controlled adjustable irons available nowadays, and little research should turn up several between $50-$100US. They provide a drastically different experience than the standard $10US blister pack iron. My advice is that if you intend to work on circuit boards of any kind (as opposed to just the occasional wire tinning or appliance mending) you will be well served by investing in a good iron.
More details can be found on the soldering iron and solder pages on Wikipedia, and out in Googlespace. Some brand names to search for would be Weller, Hakko, Aoyue, and Xytronic.
The advice is good--steel wool can help if components are heavily corroded--but soldering without any flux is almost impossible. Luckily most solder comes with flux built into its core, but this flux will burn off quickly if you put solder on the iron tip and let it sit there (fumes are actually from boiling flux, not lead). The main job of flux is to remove oxidation from the metal and keep air away until solder displaces it. The key is having an un-corroded surface, not necessarily a rough one.

Hi Mansour, I will add the item to the list -- the other tools do not have any description either. However note that the Auditing project is currently in a sleeping state. No one is auditing code in the tree for new vulnerabilities (at least not as part of the project). If you have an interest in this subject and would like to participate in reviving the project, that would be great. It can be a way to become a Gentoo developer and participate in a great community, and to cooperate with others in the Security project and other vendors. But keep in mind there is a certain amount of work that comes with this. Robert

Re: Domino Configuration Tuner (DCT)
Are there plans to update this for Domino 9? And if not, I request that you do.
Are there going to be any more updates on this tool? Or have IBM decided to use some alternative tuning tools?
I have the problem, that a colleague of mine can not use the tool on Win7 machine. We are having the same client versions and settings, but in his case he receives the message "Unable to deploy 1 updated file(probably locked and in use)" in the status/progress bar and the DCT starts always with the installation message that the client has to be reset. No possibility to get in the main view.
Any suggestions?
AFAIK, this tool is current. It downloads the latest rules are they are constantly being updated.
Great tool. There have not been any updates since 2010. Is this tool obsolete or no new updates since 8.5?

Great work with this tool, helps keeping your server running.

Shining the Light on Hospital Pricing
In May, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a treasure trove of data representing average charges submitted by more than 3,300 hospitals for the 100 most common procedures, such as hip replacements, heart operations and pneumonia treatment.
The data revealed that most hospitals bill Medicare for, on average, four times more than the insurer actually reimburses for a particular procedure. Prices also vary wildly between hospitals—even those located in the same city. For example, heart-failure treatment ranges from $9,000 to $51,000 in Jackson, Miss.; the price of joint replacement in New York City goes for between $15,000 and $155,000.
Making this data public gives consumers—especially the uninsured and those with hefty deductibles—a way to compare costs in their communities and puts pressure on hospitals to address extreme variation in pricing. As Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, RWJF's president and CEO, puts it, "Transformation of the health care delivery system cannot occur without greater price transparency."

Take the word ''Shrek,'' swap the R and the E, and change the E to an A. What do you get? Well, DreamWorks hopes it's as big an opening weekend as the green ogre's.
''Shark Tale,'' the latest computer-animated film from the studio, reaches more than 3,800 movie theaters this weekend, the widest ever release for a movie that's not a sequel. And though audiences and critics will likely say ''Shrek'' was funnier, families will still flock to the multiplexes this weekend, drawn in part by the film's voice cast, including Will Smith, Angelina Jolie, and Renée Zellweger. But let's face it: If you and I were the voices of the fish in this movie, it would also do quite well. Expect this ''Tale'' to swim away with around $38 million.
Also opening this weekend is ''Ladder 49,'' a firefighting drama starring John Travolta and Joaquin Phoenix. With powerful TV ads that draw viewers into the heroes' lives, ''Ladder'' will have no trouble filling seats. And Travolta fans are still a force to be reckoned with. ''Ladder'' will climb to second place with a $25 million debut.
Last week's No. 1 film, ''The Forgotten,'' should take a big hit from the increased competition, falling 55 percent to $9 million, while ''Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow'' and ''Mr. 3000'' will gross another $3 million each. But perhaps the next two weekends will belong to the sharks.

Original art by Antonio DePietro
The Department of Justice decided not to press criminal charges against Lance Armstrong for doping. End of the ordeal? Nein. Shortly thereafter, the United States Anti-Doping Agency charged Lance with doping in their own justice system, and threatened to revoke all his Tour de France titles. In the UK, John Terry was formally charged by police for racial abuse of a rival player, Anton Ferdinand. A magistrate judge concluded he was not guilty. End of the ordeal? Nope. The Football Association charged Terry, found him guilty, and suspended him for a few games, pending appeal.
If the American justice system can't find enough evidence to charge Armstrong, why would the USADA expect to do better? If a UK magistrate didn't find enough evidence to convict Terry, why should the FA step in? The quick, unsatisfying answer is a bunch of confusing legalese. The less convenient real answer troubles the world of sport governance to its core.
First, the legalese. In the US and UK, a criminal conviction requires the prosecution to prove guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt." This is a pretty high threshold. Conversely, an administrative body such as the USADA or FA typically only need to prove guilt by a lower standard, such as a "preponderance of the evidence." This translates roughly to "more likely than not," much easier to prove. The FA must only prove an infraction by the "balance of probability." That is one big difference. Another difference is that administrative bodies only govern professionals who have willingly entered into their realm of authority. The FA can only charge and investigate professional footballers in England. The USADA can only charge and investigate certain American athletes, including professional cyclists and other athletes in the US. Lastly, the punishments these administrative bodies can levy are different. The FA can fine, just like a magistrate, but cannot throw Terry in jail. The USADA can strip away titles, but can't sentence Armstrong to prison time.
However, these differences obfuscate two fundamental problems with the Terry and Armstrong cases. First, administrative bodies were created to govern sport so as to eliminate the need for government interference, not to mulligan on failed criminal prosecutions. Sports bodies hate expensive private lawsuits, so they've lobbied long and hard to rule the roost. As part of this understanding, we the taxpayers in theory save money by not having to dedicate resources to govern disputes within sport. We don't pay the FA staff's salaries. We don't pay the arbitrators. In both the Terry and Armstrong cases, US and UK taxpayers footed the bill for criminal investigation and, for Terry, a multiple-day trial. Instead of autonomously governing their fiefdoms, the USADA and FA let the police to dig up the dirt and stumble at the prosecution phase before swooping in to attack a high profile target.
Instead of creating a separate sphere of sport and law, this looks like a second bite at the apple. If the police mess up an investigation or a prosecutor blows a trial, thende factodouble jeopardy awaits the accused athlete. He may not face a year in jail, but instead risks losing seven Tour de France titles, a lifetime of achievement, and his good name.
Obviously, not everybody is concerned. Many EPL fans were happy to see the FA throw the book at Terry, and not everybody loves Armstrong. This brings up another problem with the FA and USADA—the administrative prosecutions often run askew of a defendant's right to due process. In the wake of both cases, troubling questions are raised as to whether or not these bodies are even competent enough to govern their own spheres, let alone undertake determinations of innocence or guilt.
In the Armstrong case, Lance filed a civil lawsuit in federal court in Austin, Texas and charged the USADA with constitutional violations. His first lawsuit contained more bold statements and accusations than legal arguments, but a revised, second lawsuit honed in on the glaring defects in the USADA charging procedures. The judge eventually dismissed the lawsuit based on the common rationale used to defend arbitration: sports bodies wield unique expertise and should be able to resolve their own disputes better than a judge. However, Sparks voiced grave concerns about the charging document. The USADA's boilerplate form included only a few pages of general allegations, and hardly gave Armstrong an idea of what he was up against. The USADA stated that they would provide Armstrong with a more detailed writ before the hearing, but the very need for that expansion highlights the bum-rush nature of their initial charging. In the hurry to cut off Lance's head, was he afforded enough time to investigate the accusers and mount a credible defense?
The Terry case presents problems at the other end of the spectrum: judgment. A magistrate judge found Terry not guilty and clearly explained his rationale. His fifteen page judgment concluded that nobody, neither lip-reading experts nor Ferdinand, could testify to what was said. The magistrate judge noted that Terry had never been sent off for abuse despite playing in over 600 matches. Also, Terry had kept his control despite 18 months of taunts about his affair with former teammate Wayne Bridge's wife. The lack of direct evidence and circumstantial evidence to the contrary raised a reasonable doubt. Conversely, the FA found Terry guilty and has only vaguely promised to issue a written decision later. Here's the problem: Terry had to file an appeal beforehand, so as not to miss the Arsenal game. How can one appeal an unwritten ruling?
Some people point out that the stakes are lower—in terms of punishment—for professional athletes in these hearings, so the hearings and procedures can be a bit more informal. However, the FA can offer fines almost on par with a criminal prosecution. No jail time is ever at risk, but a lifetime, if not an eternity, of ignominy awaits a defendant on the losing end of a doping charge. This line of thinking also defeats itself. Basically, this argument says in pretty terms that "sport is not so important, so we can play fast and loose with the rules." But if sport is not so important, why have these administrative bodies at all?
Some will argue that the FA charged and punished Luis Suarez for racism last season, and thus does not wait to cherry-pick failed prosecutions. In Suarez's cases, there was no criminal trial beforehand. However, Suarez was another high profile target. Also, the FA's written decisions rambled on for over 100 pages. If the lack of ink for Terry is troubling, the FA judgment in Suarez has the opposite problem: it makes the footnotes to Infinite Jest feel like a breezy beach read. Experienced litigators will notice an abundance of hearsay, the inability to separate factual disputes from legal standards, and the lack of a foundation (or explanation) for the experts. Normally, in a trial, you can't just rope in a linguistics PhD and have him talk to a jury. You have to prove his particular study is relevant and his conclusion has a proper factual premise.
Of course, that just points to another scary issue with administrative processes: the person who weighs the evidence is also the gatekeeper for potentially prejudicial evidence. Normally, at a trial, a judge plays the role of referee and decides outside the presence of a jury if a document or witness has something worthwhile to hear. This prevents attorneys from presenting captivating witnesses who are unqualified and may only distract the jury. In an administrative hearing, the jury is the judge. The hearing examiners will decide if a document or witness is prejudicial and distracting or relevant and on point. There's just one problem: the examiner has already seen the document or witness before making that decision. They basically state "this document that just distracted me in preliminary matters is too distracting for the major hearing." However, the document has already been viewed. Smart attorneys like cunning athletes will push the rules and treat informal hearings as an anything goes forum. This very article could turn up in the next hearing.
So, should we throw out the kangaroo courts and force sports disputes back into the civil system? Not just yet. Arbitration of free agency disputes and salaries in North America has worked pretty well. In the best light, the USADA and FA could tighten the nuts & bolts in their system and their expertise would be better than most elected or appointed judges. In the worst light, these agencies wait around for bungled high-profile prosecutions, bite at the low-hanging fruit, and win thanks to their Constitutionally-defective home field advantage.
You might well hate John Terry and Lance Armstrong, but they both deserve a sporting chance.
isn't the real (and really only, other than maybe pro sports complainers) audience for disciplinary actions by sports entities people who direct advertising dollars towards televised events? i think that's why higher profile goof ups, even if a more minor infraction, would get more thorough attention from whatever relevant governing body. like it's always a crime if it becomes 'news' that could tarnish the image of the league in away that could reduce ad revenues, even if it wasn't a crime. so of course this is all arbitrary and unjust. it's about brand management, not justice. it's to satisfy the soulless weirdos who get into the entertainment industries not because they actually like things, but who determine what shows i get to watch anyhow. i think.
Ted - I definitely follow your logic. If the misstep hurts the PR, then the disciplinary actions take place to save face and sponsorships.
Dollars & cents also partially explain why these disciplinary hearings lack due process protections - it's expensive to hire attorneys, carefully analyze charges, hold a full length trial, issue a prompt reasoned decision, etc.

Honestly Michael I'm not bickering my request is valid, the installer cd cannot be reproduced this makes it a proprietary product, its closed. You might not have the need to modify the cd in anyway or reproduce it in another fasion, but I do and I dont mean just any livecd. My requirement was for it to be as close to the installer cd as possible. So you were right the first time, why cant the spec files along with the patch of Catalyst be released or atleast be put into cvs access for non-end user access?

 mkisofs is really not hard to do Andrew I can do that, I have requirements that need to emulate the installer cd. If I just needed to make a custum cd catalyst is fine or the good old fasion way works too. The point is your installer cd is useless since it cannot be reproduced this makes it proprietary, thats not to say it doesnt work as intended.

Perhaps we should start another thread to bicker about this, or do as Chris says and move it to the releng list.

Marvin Bouldin was on his way home from work when he stopped at a convenience store for a few things, including a Virginia Lottery Scratcher ticket. That ticket turned out to be a $2 million winner in the Millionaire Mania game.
If that isn't amazing enough, it was the second time within two months that he's won a major Virginia Lottery prize. On August 14, he claimed the $1 million prize in Virginia's $5 Million Club.
His latest win came at Roadrunner Enterprises, 2730 East Hundred Rd. in Chester. When he realized he'd won big again, he quietly left the store.
"I was shocked," he told Virginia Lottery officials. "I just folded it up and put it in my pocket. I called my wife. She didn't believe me – again."
Mr. Bouldin had a choice of taking the full $2 million over 25 years or a one-time cash option of $1,505,000 before taxes. He chose the cash option. The store received a $10,000 bonus from the Lottery for selling the winning ticket.
He is the second $2,000,000 winner in Millionaire Mania, which means one top-prize ticket in the game remains unclaimed.
Mr. Bouldin said his amazing double-stroke of luck won't change him.
"I'm still the same person," he said.
When it comes to education, the Virginia Lottery is game. In fact, it's the reason we play. We generate more than $1.3 million per day for Virginia's K-12 public schools.
Operating entirely on revenue from the sale of Lottery products, the Virginia Lottery generated more than $486.5 million for Virginia's public schools in Fiscal Year 2013. For more info, visit the website, on Facebook, follow Twitter and check YouTube. Please play responsibly.

"You can insist all you like. I won't do it."
"Claude, I really need you to be in this photograph. It's a way to promote the act – and if we don't promote the act, we could risk losing our place here."
"There are enough lions in the photo already – you don't need me."
"The more lions the better! Thirteen is good, but fourteen-- !"
"Thirteen is a perfect number. Foreboding. I really think it's the best solution for everyone."
Hans' pleading now gave way to genuine curiosity. "Why won't you be in the photograph? There's nothing to be afraid of --"
Claude gave a growly snort. "The only thing I'm afraid of is degrading myself. It's enough that I stand on a platform and wave to you every night."
"Yes, but you know our deal: Your acting like that on stage lets you see the world. If you all didn't seem docile – even friendly – would we have gotten so many private invitations from the crowned heads of Europe? When I met you in that rundown zoo, I promised I'd take you on adventures and let you see the world. Haven't I kept that promise?"
Claude nodded his huge, maned head. "You have. But I'm not going to lie at your feet forever."
"I don't expect you to. Just for the photograph."
"But that's what a photograph is – forever. How long will this image last? In the future, you'll seem to be a king, and the rest of us – well, it's a disgrace to our kind and I won't do it, and I don't think the others should, either, but it's their choice."
"I understand, of course," Hans' voice sounded a little hurt. "But sometimes we have to do things we don't want to."
Hans sighed. "That's how it is. In the savannah, where you were supposed to have been raised, animals have to die so you can eat. Everyone's obliged to do something. Why, even I –" Hans paused, reflecting on how he might, just might, be revealing too much of his personal life to a mere acquaintance. Of course, the relationship he had with Claude and the other lions was a bit different than that of most people and their human co-workers; each night, they performed their routine, knowing that if it weren't for their mutual respect and professionalism, between his whip and pistol, and the lions' natural deadly accoutrements, someone might not leave the ring alive.
Taking all that into account, it seemed all right for him to continue. "I – There is a pocketwatch in my family, handed down through the generations, since my great-grandfather's time. A lovely, strange old thing. Well, my sister had a suitor who wouldn't leave her alone, though she wanted nothing to do with him. The man told her that if she didn't marry him, he'd slander our good name. I offered him our fine family watch, which would catch a fair price if resold – if he would never see her again. The man agreed, and just last night, I gave it over to him. I hate it, but that's how it is," Hans finished the story brusquely, reaching for the snuffbox in his breast pocket. He opened said box, and snorted a neat pinch.
"Why?" Claude asked again. Hans was irritated; what was making him so stubborn?
"Here's what we're going to do," the lion went on. "You're going to go out there and let the photographer take your picture with our thirteen friends. Afterwards, you'll ask the strongman to lend you that long coat he wears offstage, and you'll procure me a wide-brimmed hat from the cowboy sharp-shooter. Then, we'll go together to find this man and get back your watch."
Hans stared at him, stunned. "But how – "
Claude sighed, a low rumble. "I can walk on my hind legs. You taught me yourself. I'll walk into his place beside you with those clothes on. And once we've spotted the watch, I'll scare the hell out of this thief, and we'll get it back."
"I don't know if –"
"You don't have to do it, if you don't think it will work."
"No, I – " Hans squared his small shoulders. "That sounds like a fine idea."
As he climbed up and positioned himself into the throne-like chair among the lions, putting his arm around Squire, the oldest and sleepiest of the group, Hans seemed somehow taller. For the first time in his life – which may seem surprising, for a man who spent his nights yelling orders at deadly, massive carnivores – he felt powerful. Holding his pose, as the photographer instructed, he fixed the line of other performers waiting to have their photographs taken, looking for the strongman so that he could ask him for his coat.
This week's Fiction Weekend prompt was: Write a story about a refusal. After posting that prompt, I came upon the photo at the end of my piece, on a wonderful site the boyfriend and I love, called Retronaut. The picture, labeled "Circus Lions, 1905" on the site, has this caption on the cardboard frame around the image: "Group of Lions, Hagenbach's." Some quick research led me to this site, which is dedicated to elephants and preventing cruelty towards them – a very noble cause. According to their records, Carl Hagenbeck's Wild Animal Circus was of German origin, as the name suggests, but toured the US from 1905-1907. In 1907, it was bought by another circus company. If you're interested, you can find a really detailed and intriguing account of the early days of Carl Hagenbeck's Wild Animal Circus here. There's nothing in particular written about the lions or the lion tamer, though. Some people who commented on the photo on the Retronaut site, said they felt sorry for the lions. I hope that these big cats were treated well. Circuses often made/make sure their animals were well looked-after, if only because they were major monetary investments. According to The Tribe of Tiger, a fascinating book about felines by anthropologist Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, while the wild is always the best place for big cats to live, the circus might be a close second for some – like tigers – who seem to respond positively to the stimulus of training, and the praise received for a good performance. I hope the same can be said for lions.
If you'd like to participate in Fiction Weekend, go for it! Everyone's welcome to participate - you just have to write a FICTION story. For more information, check out our OS blog(instructions on how to announce your story, etc, are in the left margin).
It was well worth it to read this.
"if it weren't for their mutual respect and professionalism, between his whip and pistol, and the lions' natural deadly accoutrements, someone might not leave the ring alive"
yet they reach an agreement, to their mutual satisfaction.
the wild is always best for a man, or a lion,to dwell in of course.
but alot of men need lionizing, and many lions
need humanizing.
it works out well for both.
