Pine Cone Wet and Dry
Name: Rena Status: student Grade: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
I am a Literacy Teacher and read a story about a boy and his father buying a tree to plant in their yard. They ended up buying a pine tree. I have several pines cones and one that I have is inside a mason jar. I asked my students how they think it got in the jar and how can we get it out? So, I filled the jar with water and told my students that they will observe and see what will happen. By the end of the day it was closing up. The next day I was able to remove it from the jar. The question we have is,"Is a pine cone that is not attached to a tree living or dead? They we amazed!It has movement by closing up. I have emptied the water out of the jar and we are watching it dry up and begin opening up again.
Once the pine cones are dried out by the tree cutting off the water supply to it, it is no longer alive. Pines cones develop, in most species, over a two year period. Pine cones have a structural mechanism at the base of each seed petal (that houses the developing seed) that, when it dries, it automatically opens up by moving away from the center of the cone. This opening allows for the seed to drop (it is also dried due to lack of water) and blow away in the wind or just drop out by gravity. After a time that has allowed for seed dispersal, the cone will break off its attachment to the tree and fall. As long as the pine cone is intact, it will open and close depending upon the water it receives or loses. Place the cone in a glass of water, it will close as it did when it was keep moist as the seeds were developing in the first year. These first year cones are usually green and tightly closed.
A fun, but soon to be boring, activity is to see how many times the cone will close and open with drying and placing it into water. It is not alive.

Name: Rodney Status: other Grade: other Location: NM Country: USA Question: I read a your response to "Pine cone Wet and Dry". You indicate once a pine cone is disconnected from its host tree that it no longer is a live organism and it is not receiving any water from the tree any longer therefore concluding the pine cone will stop opening and closing when exposed to moisture. How long would you say this process would continue until it would no longer open and close?
I ask, because I have a couple of pine cones sitting on my patio table for decoration and it never ceases to amaze me that every time it rains they close up and open again when they dry out. My amazement may be caused by the very infrequent times it rains in the desert southwest. However, I have had these pine cones on my table for 4-5 years and they still close every time it rains and open again when they dry out.
Could you explain this phenomenon further and how long they would continue to do this if they are no longer alive? What drives them to do this?
I have never test the longevity of this pine cone phenomenon. As long as they are not kept in a moist environment where the cone can not completely dry out thus allowing the cellulose matrix of the cone to begin to decompose, I would predict it would take a very long time before the process would stop. I have used cones that were over 10 years old, used them several times a year and they continued to function well.

The University of Texas at Austin is in a constant state of expansion and modernization. From the expansion of Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, increasing capacity to 90,000, to construction of the new Biomedical Engineering Building, which will house labs and research space, the university is growing and continuing to improve its facilities improving.
The following is an update on some of the projects going on around the university:
Biomedical Engineering Building
Construction of the new Biomedical Engineering Building on West Dean Keeton Street between University Avenue and Wichita Street is on track to be completed ahead of schedule. It will house natural science teaching labs, pharmacy research space and offices, and will have a bridge to the Neural Molecular Science Building on the east side. Completion date: summer 2008.
Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium Expansion
Expansion of the stadium at the north end zone will increase seating capacity to 90,000 seats with suites and a new club. The stadium will include concessions, a new athletic academic area, student food court area, student ticket office and future gym areas, as well as the Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports. The stadium is now open for the 2007 football season and the project is on schedule, which required working around the clock to make up for lost time due to the 2007 summer rains.
Completion date: fall 2008.
Edgar A. Smith Building
Construction of the Edgar A. Smith Building continues. As the second phase of the Blanton Museum of Art building project, the Smith building will house the museum cafe, store, classrooms, an auditorium and museum offices. With the art museum, the Smith building will form a gateway around the Faulkner Plaza.
Completion date: late spring 2008.
AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center
Under construction at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and South University Avenue is a world-class residential learning environment named in recognition of a $25 million commitment from AT&T to the university. The facility will be used for conferences, seminars and continuing executive education programs. Construction is on schedule for classrooms, amphitheater, break-out rooms, conference rooms and an 800-seat ballroom to complement 300 guest rooms and three restaurants.
Completion date: August 2008.

EUGENE, Ore. — Some very vocal neighbors could claim a major victory over their much louder neighbors.
The Eugene City Council is expected to take up the social host ordinance Monday for a vote. It could mean the end of a long and controversial battle.
Neighbors of some University of Oregon students are fed up with noise and excessive partying, so they went to the city and worked to develop the social host ordinance.
It would let Eugene Police dole out harsher punishments for the hosts of unruly parties.
"It continues to hold accountable the people who are behaving illegally, whether it's minors drinking alcohol or excessive noise," said Carter Hawley, Police Commission Analyst.
Eugene Police say the problem isn't just livability for the neighbors. Off-campus house parties usually include a lot of underage drinking.
"What this does is it also tries to get at the cause of the problem which is the party itself," Hawley said.
But many UO students disagree. The last time the city council discussed the plans, students showed up in droves to show their opposition.
"Students really care about this issue. We're not gonna stand aside and let the city and EPD and DPS have a say in this," said Greg McAteer, ASUO legislative director.
That's why student leadership at the university tried to spread the word about Monday night's meeting.
"It's really important that we get students there but also make students have a greater understanding of how this ordinance is going to affect them," McAteer said.
The tension between community members and students led to a lengthy process in the city council that results in tonight's vote. But there's many who feel like the ordinance isn't going to completely solve the problem.
"It's upsetting that there has been some animosity amongst community members and students, and hopefully we're gonna be working on ways to improve that," McAteer said.
There's been no shortage of controversy throughout this whole process, but students are optimistic that they'll be able to collaborate more in the future.

The Monastery has been nominated as Best UK Unusual Venue for a record fifth year in a row, at the prestigious industry-leading Meetings and Incentive Travel Awards 2015.
The Pugin-designed Grade II* listed buildings have won the Gold Award in this category in each of the last three years, so expectations are high for another placing. Since its first nomination for the 2011 event, the Monastery has scooped a total of six Gold and Silver Awards, in this and other categories, making if by far the most successful venue in the North of England during that period. It has also been nominated this year for Best Value for Money Conference Venue, for which it won Silver in 2012.
The awards are voted for by clients and as such are a real reflection of the support and affection that the Monastery's customers have for these unique and inspiring buildings. The vast majority of nominations are for venues in the South and the Monastery is proudly carrying the torch for Manchester and for the region again this year.
The results will be announced at a Gala Dinner held at Battersea Evolution in London on 3rd March 2015, presented by TV broadcaster Kate Silverton.
We're delighted to announce that the UK's best-selling classical artist, Russell Watson, is to perform at the Monastery as part of his Cathedral tour on Monday 15 December.Please click on More Info for further details and booking information.
The Monastery of St Francis & Gorton Trust has been awarded a £1.7 million Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) grant – as part of a wider £3m project, to enable the charitable trust to complete the restoration and conservation of the Pugin designed Victorian gothic masterpiece after 18 years. The funding will also allow the Trust to build a new 'Welcome Wing' creating a new entrance. This follows a £1 million pledge of financial support in September by The Stoller Charitable Trust whose chairman is Norman Stoller CBE, a private benefactor, philanthropist and former Oldham businessman. The Stoller Charitable Trust's donation was conditional and to be used as matched funding if a submission for the £1.7 million grant from the HLF was successful. The £3 million total funding will allow for the construction of a permanent and sustainable carbon neutral front wing, designed to welcome the general public and enable the Monastery to share its story and be 'open every day for everyone'. This will result in the creation of new community and educational space, enhanced visitor facilities, making the Monastery a permanent resource that schools, the community and the general public can experience and enjoy all of the time.
The funding will also allow the Trust to carry out urgent conservation work and repair of the Grade II* listed building. Including initial support of more than £200,000 awarded in March 2013, this grant brings HLF's total investment to almost £2m.
The Monastery is making its third appearance on the BBC's flagship religious programme, Songs of Praise, following recordings made in November 2014. The stunning Grade II* listed buildings will appear in all of the programme's epsiodes from Sunday 30th November to Sunday 21st December, on BBC1 at 4.15pm.
Songs of Praise have used the Pugin-designed former Church as its venue on two previous occasions, one of which was in 2007, during the massive restoration project.

Donations to our Angels Appeal gratefully accepted
Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh visited Gorton Monastery in Gorton, East Manchester on Thursday 14 November for a private lunch. The visit coincided with the 150th anniversary of work starting on the construction of this Pugin architectural masterpiece. As the visit took place during the 60th anniversary of The Queen's Coronation, the Monastery's volunteers lit 740 candles (including 61 pillar candles – one for each year of Her Majesty's reign) on the dramatic High Altar to represent every month of every year since Her Majesty's accession to the throne in February 1952. A funding gap meant it was not possible to restore any of the area around the altars and chancel during the first phase of restoration when the Monastery buildings were saved from ruin. It has long been the ambition of the Trust to complete this final phase of conservation work before these precious works of art are lost forever. A £1million Angels Appeal has been launched this year to raise match funding to complete the final phase of restoration and conservation work and deliver the community vision. It is hoped that this will unlock another major grant of £2million from the Heritage Lottery Fund and protect the buildings as a resource for future generations. This £3million project will also provide local educational, community and visitor facilities to ensure that the Monastery can be open every day for everyone.
Annual results for The Monastery of St. Francis & Gorton Trust and its trading subsidiary The Monastery, Manchester for year ending January 3rd 2013.
Highlights from group accounts• The Monastery achieved another year of progress. In line with expectations.• The charity has now returned a surplus on unrestricted funds for the third successive year• The trading subsidiary has achieved a surplus of £82k for the year (2011 £82k).• Fundamental financial resilience has improved.• Sales flat at £1.4 million year on year (2011: £1.4 million).• Reported group profit (surplus) on unrestricted funds of £61k (2011: £90k) and for the charity itself a write back of inter-company debt provision of £271k (2011: £120k). • Trading prospects for 2013 and 2014 are encouraging.See More Info for full story

We are delighted to announce that our dedicated team of volunteers have been recognised at the highest level, with the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service, 2013. Volunteers have been a key part of the Monastery story from the very early days of the Trust. We are fortunate that some of them have been part of our 'family' for over 17 years and remain as cheerful, dedicated and passionate about the Monastery as ever. They are the 'face' of the Monastery for many of our Sunday visitors, as a strong and irreplaceable presence on all of our Open Days. They greet visitors, share information about the buildings and the Trust, and are an important force behind our on-going fundraising. Some of them also contribute in other ways, with specific projects such as helping to produce books for our Monastery Publications, Trust website, and even hands-on restoration work. We are constantly aware of how fortunate we are to have these positive and generous individuals as the bedrock of the Trust, and are thrilled that their selflessness and commitment has now been recognised in a wider sphere. The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service is the highest accolade for volunteers working in the UK and we are very proud of all of our Monastery team. The news comes within a week of the sad passing of one of our oldest volunteers, Megan Neesom. At 90 years old, Megan was a regular volunteer on Sundays, until March this year, and we know that she shares our pride in this award. - Elaine Griffiths, chief executive of the Monastery of St Francis & Gorton Trust.

The Monastery of St Francis & Gorton Trust and its trading subsidiary The Monastery, Manchester, reports a significant rise in profit for 2011.
Despite difficult market conditions and increased competition from other event venues in the region, profits for the group were considerably up, at almost £90k for 2011, compared to a shortfall of £76k in 2010. Although sales of £1.4m were the same as in 2010, significant progress has been made in strengthening the balance sheet and improving liquidity.
After a 17 year exile, the Saints have come marching home. The twelve irreplaceable Saints of Gorton Monastery were finally reinstated in their original home in May 2012, after a precarious journey around the country that almost saw them lost forever. In 1994, the unique collection of 12 life-sized statues of Franciscan Saints were discovered listed for sale in a Sotheby's auction catalogue. They had been removed from Gorton Monastery, a magnificent church designed by the famous architect Edward Pugin. Sadly, the church - a listed building - had closed in 1989 and stood empty and vandalised as its contents were stripped. At last, the fully restored Saints are back. This is their story.
To celebrate this momentous milestone in the Monastery's history, Monastery Publications has produced this account detailing this fascinating story.
Available online via the Publications and Shop page on this site, or by telephone, 0161 223 3211, priced at £4.99 (plus £1.25 p&p).

After more than 16 years in storage, and eight months being carefully restored, the 12 Monastery saints' statues will be hoisted 40 ft up back onto their plinths in the Great Nave at Gorton Monastery today.

The Saints have come marching back in to the world-famous Gorton Monastery after a 17-year campaign. The 12 six-foot tall figures were removed in the early 1990s by a developer looking to turn the building into flats. They were installed when the monastery was built and spent 133 years looking down on the aisles from plinths. But they were spotted on an auction list at Sotheby's in 1994 by local historian Janet Wallwork. Manchester council stepped in to buy the historic figures for £25,000 after Gorton MP Gerald Kaufman negotiated their withdrawal from the auction.
After a short period on display at Manchester Town Hall, the works have been kept in storage in the city centre ever since. But now the renovated monastery has finally brought them home. Ms Wallwork said: "It's absolutely fantastic to see them back after all this time."
The statues, which are of the 12 Franciscan saints, will be on public show on special viewing days in the coming months as bosses raise funds to have the statues renovated andreinstalled on 30ft high plinths in the monastery. The 'Save a Saint' appeal to raise the necessary £150,000 marks the monastery's 150th anniversary celebrations.
Monastery chief executive Elaine Griffiths said: "They're part of the fabric not only of the Monastery but of the community as well and this is truly a historic day."
The Saints are marching back in to a Manchester monastery after a successful 16-year fight for their return. The 12, six-foot tall statues were being reinstalled at Gorton Monastery today, having been removed in the early 1990s by a developer who wanted to turn the building into flats.
In 1994, the statues mysteriously appeared in an auction at Sotheby's, sparking an investigation into their ownership and how they had appeared on the open market. Manchester council stepped in to purchase the statues for £25,000 after Gorton MP Gerald Kaufman negotiated their withdrawal from the auction. The works have been kept safe in storage ever since. Councillor Jim Battle, deputy leader of the council, said: "Gorton Monastery is one of the gems of east Manchester and is recognised as a precious World Heritage Site.
"The restoration project is an excellent example of preserving our city's heritage for future generations to appreciate and enjoy. I'm pleased the council is able to help in saving the 12 priceless statues that are now being restored to their rightful place."
The Saints, original statues of the 12 Franciscan saints, were being delicately transported by removals company Speedy Services Ltd free of charge. The Gorton Monastery Trust is now raising funds through its 'Save a Saint' appeal to restore the statues to their former glory. The campaign coincides with the monastery's 150th anniversary celebrations and chief executive Elaine Griffiths believes the return of the Saints is the perfect birthday present for the church.
She said: "We are thrilled that after so many years of waiting these wonderful statues are finally coming home to be restored. "We had hoped to bring them back in our 150th Anniversary year, and are very grateful to Speedy for helping us to achieve that. "With the generous support of the public we are hoping we can raise enough funds to restore them."

Suppression of protein kinase c and nuclear oncogene expression as possible action mechanisms of cancer chemoprevention by curcumin

Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is a major naturally-occurring polyphenol of Curcuma species, which is commonly used as a yellow coloring and flavoring agent in foods. Curcumin has shown anti-carcinogenic activity in animal models. Curcumin possesses anti-inflammatory activity and is a potent inhibitor of reactive oxygen-generating enzymes such as lipoxygenase/ cyclooxygenase, xanthine dehydrogenase /oxidase and inducible nitric oxide synthase; and an effective inducer of heme oxygenase-1. Curcumin is also a potent inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), EGF(Epidermal growth factor)-receptor tyrosine kinase and IkB kinase. Subsequently, curcumin inhibits the activation of NF(nucleor factor)KB and the expressions of oncogenes includingc-jun,ofos,c-myc, NIK, MAPKs, ERK, ELK, PI3K, Akt, CDKs and iNOS. It is proposed that curcumin may suppress tumor promotion through blocking signal transduction pathways in the target cells. The oxidant tumor promoter TPA activates PKC by reacting with zinc thiolates present within the regulatory domain, while the oxidized form of cancer chemopreventive agent such as curcumin can inactivate PKC by oxidizing the vicinal thiols present within the catalytic domain. Recent studies indicated that proteasome-mediated degradation of cell proteins play a pivotal role in the regulation of several basic cellular processes including differentiation, proliferation, cell cycling, and apoptosis. It has been demonstrated that curcumin-induced apoptosis is mediated through the impairment of ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Curcumin was first biotransformed to dihydrocurcumin and tetrahydrocurcumin and that these compounds subsequently were converted to monoglucuronide conjugates. These results suggest that curcumin-glucuronide, dihydrocurcumin-glucuronide, tetrahydrocurcumin-glucuronide and tetrahydrocurcumin are the major metabolites of curcumin in mice, rats and humans.

It looks like Britney forgot about the cameras on the Dec. 13 semi-final of 'The X Factor', as she looked less than amused when Fifth Harmony was announced as a finalist. Oh, Britney!
Britney Spears is good at many things – singing, being a mom, and being a mentor on The X Factor, but one thing she is not good at is hiding her emotions! These hilarious new pictures depict the exact moment that Britney learned that Fifth Harmony had made it to the finale of the show, instead of popular boy band Emblem3. And it looks like she is not happy about it!
The Dec. 13 results show of X Factor was most exciting, and Carly Rose Sonenclar – who is a favorite to win – sailed through to the final, along with country crooner Tate Stevens. But, what happened next really shocked us, as Emblem3 was sent home as they lost the public vote. It seemed like the entire stadium was shocked when girl group Fifth Harmony was announced as a finalist, however, no one was more surprised than Britney!
Britney did little to hide her apparent confusion, as she clearly thought the girls were not worthy finalists. We think it's pretty funny that she didn't try to sugarcoat her feelings! The previous evening, the boys performed "Hey Jude", which was a risky choice, but it totally paid off, and Britney even told them to take a bow!
It's such a shame the boys were eliminated, but we're sure we haven't seen the last of them. And, we cannot wait for next week's finale!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should Emblem3 have made it to the finale? Should Britney have been more subtle with her feelings?

I got this dryer as a gift Easter 2012. I've been using it ever since. it is now July 2014 and it works perfectly. those people who only had it for one year probably dropped it to 200 million times.I use it on high to straighten out my biracial transitioning hair. My hair comes out sleek and shiny. The cool shot button is great.
If and when it breaks I will definitely be purchasing another.

I bought this dryer about 6 years ago and have been secretly wishing it broke so I could buy a new one ever since! It's big, heavy, and takes FOREVER to dry my long thick hair. There's no advantage to the Ion button either, it doesn't seem to make a difference. My hair still comes out frizzy and crispy. My mom's blow dryer (revlon I think?)was half the price and dries my hair twice as fast sans frizz. The filter cover is also stuck so I can't even open it to clean it. It's getting two lippies for durability, I've dropped it a few times and it works fine. But it's performance is just not enough for my hair type.

I guess this product come in a variety of models because I had this dryer for now 6 years and it still works like charm. Mine is black eith blue and silver details. It is on the heavybut man does it dry! I was looking to buy a new hairdryer when I went on a vacation with 3 of my girlfriens. I was the only one who brought a hairdryer and all the girls were super impress by the power and how short it is to dry your hair with it. I have hair up to the middle of my back and I would say they are completely dry after 8 minutes!
I just hope it won't ever break because it seems there is a lot of irregularities when it come to this product

I use the metallic blue one that sells at Target for around twenty dollars. This is my HG hairdryer because of the quality for the super low price. I've had this dryer for almost a year, and it is still working better than ever. I'm not one who is willing to spend a lot of money on a hairdryer, but I also don't want something that doesn't work properly and gives me a nasty head of unevenly dried frizz. I use this with the concentrator it comes with to blow dry down the hair shaft with a Conair Ion round barrel brush. It has made such a difference compared with the dryer I was using before, which believe it or not, was a higher end $70.00 dryer I had previously purchased at a department store. That dryer made my hair so frizzy that I had given up on blow drying period. After moving and switching hair stylists, I asked her to not blow dry my hair due to it frizzing. She reassured me it would not frizz and explained that a ion hairdryer with a high wattage and a concentrator would make all the difference, so I let her blow out my hair and it looked gorgeous. I decided to get myself a blowdryer closer to the one she had used, and ended up finding this one. It really turned out to be a super cheap dupe for my stylist's hairdryer and I really love using it. When used properly and with patience, I achieve a lovely salon-worthy blowout, all without even breaking the bank! HG heat styling tool.

These start out working great but quickly lose power and strength- don't want to replace a dryer every six months. I expect the motor to last at least a year. Cleaning did not help the motor just craps out.

Obviously there are several different versions of this dryer from the descriptions in the reviews, and some are better than others. I have the travel version that is blue and has a folding handle. Cost was $29 Cdn I think. I just bought my second one -- my last died after a few years of heavy use. I tried another cheap dryer and noticed how frizzy and dry my hair seemed.
Anyway, on mine there are three settings: high, low and cool. I tend to use the high setting as it has more force, and flip back and forth between the high and cool (which are beside each other) with my thumb so it doesn't get super-hot. This dryer definitely leaves my hair shinier and less frizzy than other dryers although I haven't compared many ionic ones. I don't find it super heavy or hard to manipulate so maybe those reviews are for other models. I also haven't had the sparks-flying issue (knock wood) although I've only used my new one for a week.
This dryer didn't come with a diffuser and I didn't want to give five stars because the settings aren't particularly versatile, but for me this is a good compact dryer that wasn't too expensive, and it dries my hair fast.

I dont understand all the bad reviews about this dryer, i love it.
When my mom had one (the last two years) i would constantly steal it cuhs it worked faster than my shitty revlon one. Then it broke, after two years, because my cousin got water in it or something, (fell in sink)
Anyways, i bought a revlon dryer, another small other brand one, and well, i went to go and buy this again because the other ones took forever, didnt get hot at all, and were loud..><;;
It is big, but i dont mind, cuhs my hair dries WAYY faster with the amount of air that blows out of it.

This dryer is horrible! At first I thought I was just imagining it. It took way longer to dry my hair than with my old dryer. My hair was always fizzy. And then today it broke after only a few months. The OFF/low/high switch just stopped working and then it started popping at me. Don't buy this! Spend a little extra and get a better dryer!

My mom owns this. What a piece of junk.
I find it difficult to handle. Things get pretty hot and heavy with this dryer, but not in a good way! The concentrator doesn't help much for straightening my hair. The words on the settings are rubbing off after a month of use, so you can't even tell what setting you're putting it on.
And you know the universal-fit Conair diffuser that's supposed to fit on any dryer, especially the Conair ones? You know the one. They sell it on exactly the same shelf as this dryer. Yeah, it doesn't fit. GREAT JOB, CONAIR.

Gets pretty hot. Very heavy. Seems to leave my hair poofy.
I only dry my hair every two to three days, so I keep putting off buying a nicer dryer. But I've never been able to just dry my hair without flat ironing it to make it presentable. I know I need a new one ,but this one isn't so bad that I have to have a new dryer right NOW.

Pamela A. MacLean
The National Law Journal
Two law firms that allegedly surreptitiously accessed the
password-protected Web site of an expert witness in order to show a
judge that the witness violated a gag order cannot be held liable
under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
A District of Columbia federal judge has dismissed the suit by Boston
occupational illness expert Dr. David Egilman, who accused the law
firms Jones Day and Keller & Heckman of Washington, and Keller
attorney Douglas Behr, of misappropriating his protected work.
Egilman accused the Keller firm and Behr of hacking into his Web site
by acquiring a password and sharing it with Jones Day lawyers in the
midst of a 2001 landmark Colorado state toxics trial. Egilman had
testified on behalf of the first four of 50 workers at Rocky Flats
nuclear weapons plant who unsuccessfully claimed that the federal
government colluded with the world's largest beryllium maker, Brush
Wellman Inc., to hide the health dangers of the metallic element.
Despite a broad gag order by a Colorado state court judge, Frank
Plaut, in Ballinger v. Brush Wellman Inc., No. 96-CV-2532, Egilman had
posted critical material about Jones Day and Brush Wellman on his
password-protected Web site in what Plaut ruled was a violation of the
gag order.
Plaut ordered jurors to disregard Egilman's testimony as a sanction
after learning from Jones Day that the posting included accusations of
potential illegal conduct by Jones Day, and allegations that a Brush
Wellman medical doctor was educated in Nazi Germany, according to
press accounts at the time.
Plaut called the information "scurrilous and inflammatory" at the
Egilman, who has testified in dozens of toxics trials and was the
expert in the recent Texas Vioxx trial that resulted in a $253 million
verdict, limited Web site access to his staff and his Brown University
students. He posted uncensored information on occupational illness and
related litigation, including previously confidential corporate
internal documents related to many toxic torts.
Jurors ultimately sided with Brush Wellman and, without Egilman's
testimony, rejected the workers' claims that lung damage from exposure
to radioactive beryllium could have been avoided.
But Egilman pursued his fight against the law firms. Egilman sued
Jones Day and Keller & Heckman, first in Texas and later in the
District of Columbia, saying that his reputation was besmirched and
his effectiveness compromised.
He argued that the law firms and Behr circumvented measures installed
to deny access to his copyright-protected work on the Web site, in
violation of the 1978 Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
U.S. District Judge Henry Kennedy Jr. in D.C. ruled that obtaining a
username and password from a third party that has authorized access
does not violate the DMCA. Kennedy cited the only other court to rule
on improper use of a legitimate password, holding that gaining access
to a third party's legitimate password is not the same as hacking.
"It is irrelevant who provided the username/password combination to
the defendant, or, given that the combination itself was legitimate,
how it was obtained," Kennedy wrote in Egilman v. Keller & Heckman,
No. 04-876HHK. Use of a legitimate password does not "circumvent" a
technology used to control access, Kennedy concluded.
"This is not really about the DMCA," Egilman said. "It is about how
the legal system is designed to benefit people in power. That is why
courts said it was legal for blacks to be slaves or ruled it legal to
deny women the vote," he said.
Accessing his computer "was illegal conduct. It was breaking and
entering. It is simple theft," he said.
As for Egilman's alternate claim that unauthorized use of the password
violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the court found that he had
filed that claim too late. Egilman said he is not sure whether he will
appeal. "I spent $150,000 of my money doing this case. At some point I
can't afford to represent the interests of regular people against
criminal law firms," he said.
Behr said only, "I don't want to talk about it," when asked about the
case. Attorneys for Jones Day and Keller & Heckman declined to

The compile times for this suprised me to say the least. Machine 2 VIA C3 800mhz 256mb PC133 Compile time 5hr 05m 47s Chris uses a bash script for the install. Anyone have any idea why doing it from a bash script takes 2hr and 36m less? I can see some overhead using nALFS but this much? ** http://www.linuxuk.org *********************** * Jamie Bennett jamie at linuxuk.org * * Software Engineer Bath, * * PCP Micro Products Ltd, BA2 8EJ. * * Lower Bristol Road, * ************************************************* -- Unsubscribe: send email to listar at linuxfromscratch.org and put 'unsubscribe alfs-discuss' in the subject header of the message
