John Ethridge McCall (August 14, 1859 - August 8, 1920) was an American politician of Irish descent and a member of the United States House of Representatives for the 8th congressional district of Tennessee.
McCall was born in Clarksburg, Tennessee in Carroll County on August 14, 1859, son of Henry M. and Mildred Connally Bowlin McCall. He attended public and private schools and graduated from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville in 1881. He studied law under the direction of Judge Joe Hawkins in Huntingdon, Tennessee, was admitted to the bar in 1882, and commenced practice at Huntingdon. He married Mary Adaline Timberlake, and they had four children, Eddie, Grace, Ruth, and John.[1]
Settling in Lexington, Tennessee in 1883 McCall continued the practice of law. He was an unsuccessful candidate for district attorney in 1886. He was a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives from 1887 to 1889, and a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1888 and 1900. Appointed Assistant United States Attorney for western Tennessee in 1890, he resigned the office in 1891. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the nomination as governor in 1892.[2]
McCall was elected as a Republican to the Fifty-fourth Congress. He served from March 4, 1895 to March 3, 1897,[3] but was not a successful candidate when he ran for re-election in 1896 to the Fifty-fifth Congress.
In 1900, McCall was an unsuccessful Republican candidate for governor of Tennessee, and from 1902 until 1905, he was collector of internal revenue for the fifth district of Tennessee. Appointed United States district judge for the western district of Tennessee on January 17, 1905, he served until his death.
McCall died in Huntingdon, Tennessee on August 8, 1920. He is interred at Forest Hill Cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee.[4]

According to Forbes, top global companies are relying on their procurement leaders more and more to seek out innovative ways of doing business with suppliers. It's no longer simply about cutting costs – procurement is more involved in mitigating supply chain risk and making strategic decisions in collaboration with top management. With better information and processes to tracking every company contract, procurement leaders can unlock the value in those contracts and see opportunities for cost savings that would have been nearly … More

In the earlier blog we noted that CLM in the past was based on the inability to completely address the needs of an enterprise due to siloed approaches – so how do we look forward?

In the world of Strategic Supply Management, everyone knows that the ROI of strategic sourcing initiatives is only as good as the resulting contracts and the contract compliance in purchasing. Last week, I attended a Selectica webinar — now on demand — titled, "Creating Strategic Value from Contract Management." Guest speaker Andrew Bartels, Vice President and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, Inc. discussed the importance of choosing an enterprise Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) solution that is cross-process, not process-based. He … More
How much value is your business gaining from your contracts? If a procurement executive asked you what a given contract was worth, you would likely give an answer based on estimated spend value as a result of projected volume, negotiated costs, and term. While this is accurate, it is also a limiting perspective that places more emphasis on the transactional footprint of the contract than what it means to the company's operations. Patrick Stakenas, Chief Strategy Officer of Selectica, recently … More

As adult procurement people, the first week of September may not remind you of fresh notebook paper, new pencils, and back to school shopping (my personal favorite time of year as a kid).

Contract Management in a New Context: It's About Centralizing Compliance, Governance, and Risk (Part 3)
Creating an enterprise approach to CLM is essential in today's procurement world, as procurement and other departments are increasingly being audited on their organizational processes and data approaches. This is paralleled with the efforts of center-led / center-of-excellence approaches being established by world-class procurement enterprises, something we are seeing more and more within our client base. Using an enterprise approach for CLM therefore only makes sense for organizations taking this approach. In fact, the consolidation of CLM into one tool … More
Today, organizations have many choices when selecting a Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) solution. Some solutions may come from a content management provider as part of a wider usage of sharing content. Others may come from ERP systems, who argue that you're simply leveraging just another module within your ERP. Someone focused on these two options may be considering CLM as just an add-on functionality or an afterthought to using one provider. Still, other CLM options come from specific functions, like … More
Without Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) in the modern business world, a list of things can go wrong, including missed savings, heavy fines, costly litigation, and broken relationships. However, what truly defines CLM will always be a matter of perspective. Generally speaking, CLM is the ability to manage against contracts to ensure that contractual obligations are being met. This starts with the coming together of two parties that agree on the context of a business relationship. CLM, contract award, compliance, and … More

Wikileaks Publishes $1B of Public Domain Research Reports 231
from the well-there's-a-nice-circularity-to-that dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Suppose someone sends a list to Wikileaks containing all the names of Wikileaks admins and the people behind it.
Would they publish it, so they can stay true to their values, even if this information could effectively mean the end of Wikileaks?
I don't think publishing such a list would constitute staying true to their values.
Unreleased reports are the bane of a modern society.
Unfavorable medical studies get buries, Congressional reports that never see the light of day.
Hopefully this ray of sunshine will shake things up and give everyone something to complain about.
Your staggering level of cynicism has been duly noted, but it doesn't change the fact that releasing these reports is beneficial for everyone even if every single person doesn't have an explicit interest in them. As a comparison, relatively few people actually ever utilize their 1st Amendment right to say unpopular things, but the fact that the right exists is invaluable.
And yes, I do wonder why studies sponsored by my tax dollars weren't publicly available to begin with.
Who is going to take time to read this and miss out on American Idol?
Oh shit am I missing an episode? I better get off slashdot and turn on my TV!
A lot of people go on about government conspiracies but there is no reason for the government to do anything in secret because it can be done out in the open and most people won't take notice and if they do find out odds are they won't care enough to do anything about it.
Lets start with government conspiracies. Two examples: telecom spying and extraordinary renditions. The first was done secretly, but journalists knew long before they made it public. The second was done out in the open and a small group of private citizens tracked a fleet of secret CIA jets to a variety of international destinations (which proved hugely embarrassing to quite a few intermediate European countries).
Most people don't have to take notice, nor do they have to care enough to do anything about it.
All that matters is that all of the time, some part of the populace cares and is capable of making a good case why "most people" should too.
Of course, now that we know about these two examples and millions of people are outraged...
No one has to.
1) What is your agenda?
2) Find data relating to that agenda.
3) Cite relevant reports on that agenda. People who don't read sources won't matter, but those who do can see reports from the *government* about it.
4) Advance cause.
5) ????
They will just be classified 'national security issues' and stuck in a cabinet forever.

Most of the RAND studies commissioned by the government which are not classified are available free from their wesbite [rand.org]. Just search around or browse to the topic area that interests you.
Certainly true. Occasionally I see references in journals to things like this [dtic.mil] - the more sources we can get like that, the better.
I was thinking the same thing; however newsrooms are continually shrinking these days. Maybe it will take longer for this to affect coverage of national matters. But already at the state level, regional newspapers are disappearing and the bigger organizations like NYT are abandoning their news desks in places that used to get coverage. With no scrutiny, these local politicians can run amok.
This sounds like a job for Dennis Kucinich. Say what you want about the man but it doesn't seem possible to embarrass him.
Maybe it's not possible to embarrass him because he's doing so well on all the major issues of the day: opposing Iraq invasion, opposing continued Iraq occupation, instantiating impeachment, supporting universal single-payer health care, citing Arms Export and Control Act in voting against House Measure which supported Israeli offensive, being the only repeat Democratic Party peace candidate, and speaking firmly based on ethical and legal grounds the whole way through. These are unarguably international is
I don't think I phrased myself very well. I wanted to say that he doesn't do anything that gives the lie to his public statements. That is, he doesn't say one thing and do something else as so many politicians do. He also doesn't say one thing and then later come back hemming and hawing about how a position he now holds is completely opposite what he's said in the past but it's OK because blah blah blah. It certainly helps that I agree with him on nearly everything, down to being vegan. I contributed t

Governments could even hide information this way. They could publish tons of documents about every tiny detail, so it would be very hard to find the really interesting ones in the flood of information.
Everything would be published somewhere, but no one could find it, so effectively it would be a secret.
Are you suggesting that the need to publish this material for wide dissemination is somehow related to the number of people who would read it; if few people are perceived to read the material there is much reduced need to publish the material?
It seems to me that this conflates how many would read this material with who deserves access to this material. These factors strike me as two independent issues. Much like software freedom (the freedom to run, inspect, share, and modify a computer program) being deb

You've heard of the "many eyes" theory, right? You don't have to personally read them to benefit from their release.
Why wouldn't these reports be available under FOIA? Considering that its "nominally public domain" already, what exemption would it fall under to bar a request?
Why wouldn't these reports be available under FOIA? Considering that its "nominally public domain" already, what exemption would it fall under to bar a request?
You have to know they exist before you can file a FOIA request.

"The CRS, as a branch of Congress, is exempt from the Freedom of Information Act."
So now that these reports are "released", how many of you, slashdot readers that post in this thread, actually read at least 1 of them in its entirety? How many read 2? 5? Hands, anyone?
I did go to the site. I read 3 reports on a topic that interests me. What I found was a dry, relatively correct, summary of public and well known information. These reports are created so that each congressman (or whoever else may need them) does not have to read every single newspaper, web site or send his staff on a search of basic statistics. The information is not obtained in ways that are inaccessible to you and me, and reports do not seem to provide any particular insight not already available to those who follow the topic (for example I found nothing of interest in these reports, everything was well known to me, because I follow this topic on my own).
There are hundreds of thousands of reports like these prepared in each large (or small) organization on variety of themes. They are not specifically released because, frankly, it is pointless to do so. While some sort of a website with these reports would be a symbol of opennes, it would likely have very little practical applicability. The only people who need these reports are those who need information on topics that they don't personally care very much about (so they don't want to do their own research) but do need for whatever reason to know what's going on. That means:
1) politicians
2) students, in particular during midterms and finals
1st group has access anyway and 2nd could benefit from doing a bit of research on their own.
Feel free to rate this flamebait.
Now that you skimmed some reports, you can judge that they were harmless, and claim it's "pointless" to release them. Hindsight is 20/20, right?
I skimmed some too, and found them similarly dry, but had exactly the opposite reaction. I am upset that they have not been released earlier. $1,000,000,000 of taxpayers' money went to producing these reports. We paid for them and if they are not a matter of national security (in which case they should be classified), then we should have access to them.
If democracy is going to work, voters need as much information as possible when deciding whether or not to replace their leaders come election time. Therefore, open access to harmless material should be the rule, not the exception. Closed access should be used only when absolutely necessary. Anything else makes it too easy for bad leaders (incompetent or otherwise) to cover their tracks and maintain power undeservedly.
Already have read one in its entirety while I was eating lunch, and will probably go digging around for more of interest this evening.
While I agree with the supposition that the general populous is too stupid and/or lazy to bother educating themselves, and the release will not do them any good anyway, I'd argue on the side of, "Why not make the information available anyway?" It's a pretty good way for someone to bring themselves up to speed on some of the nuances of issues without doing a lot of research.
So now that these reports are "released", how many of you, slashdot readers that post in this thread, actually read at least 1 of them in its entirety? How many read 2? 5? Hands, anyone?
Um, this is Slashdot. To RTFA is practically a sin, imagine how verboten it would be to read research reports?
(Actually, I'm off to see if I can find anything interesting right now. I just wanted to read the comments first.)
It is not "pointless" to release such reports -- they show the results specifically of an organization's investigation into a topic. Not just a source of info about the topic but also a source of info about what the organization considered and concluded on that topic. Very important for an organization that is supposed to be accountable to the people, such as Congress. These CRS reports used to be (and should be again) released by the GPO in hardcopy. CRS lobbied against bills that would have required them to be published over the internet.
The use of open source software by the federal government has been gaining attention as organizations continue to search for opportunities to enhance their information technology operations while containing costs. For the federal government and Congress, the debate over the use of open source software intersects several other issues, including, but not limited to, the development of homeland security and e-government initiatives, improving government information technology management practices, strengthening computer security, and protecting intellectual property rights. Currently, the debate over open source software often revolves primarily around information security and intellectual property rights. However, issues related to cost and quality are often raised as well.
Intellectual Property, Computer Software and the Open Source Movement, March 11, 2004 [wikileaks.org]
This report considers the impact of intellectual property rights upon open source software. It provides an introduction to the open source movement in the software industry. It reviews the intellectual property laws, including copyrights, patents, and trade secrets. After identifying issues of interface between open source software and the intellectual property laws, the report concludes with a discussion of possible legislative issues and approaches.
Telecommunications Japans Telecommunications Deregulation: NTTs Access Fees and Worldwide Expansion, August 9, 2000 [wikileaks.org]
The United States and Japan are negotiating over Japan's costly rates for telecommunications companies to hook into the telephone network owned by the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Company (NTT), Japan's dominant provider of telecom services. The U.S. has argued for a 41 percent cut in the rates, while Japan has insisted on a 22 percent cut. NTT also is attempting to acquire Verio, an Internet service provider in the United States.
Telecommunications Act: Competition, Innovation, and Reform, June 7, 2007 [wikileaks.org]
Both houses of Congress have begun debating how to modify the 1996 Act, most of which resides within the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. That debate focuses on how to foster investment, innovation and competition in both the physical broadband network and in the applications that ride over that network while also meeting the many non-economic objectives of U.S. telecommunications policy: universal service, homeland security, public safety, diversity of voices, localism, consumer protection, etc.
Patent-related The Obviousness Standard in Patent Law: KSR International Co. v. Teleflex Inc., May 31, 2007 [wikileaks.org]
The Patent Act provides protection for processes, machines, manufactures, and compositions of matter that are useful, novel, and nonobvious. Of these three statutory requirements, the nonobviousness of an invention is often the most difficult to establish. To help courts and patent examiners make the determination, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit developed a test called "teaching, suggestion, or motivation" (TSM). This test provided that a patent claim is only proved obvious if
I'll tell you what's going on: government documents which are intrinsically public domain are being held behind artificially constructed "pay" walls erected by private companies. It's not an uncommon practice, not only in federal government but all the way down to local city and county governments, and in the past it actually made small amounts of sense. In the pre-internet days distributing documents cost non-trivial amounts of money because physical copies had to be made. Now that the Internet has driv
Since the list of names all start with CRS, the alphabetic list is thousands of reports all in the letter "C".
I'd like to get the fulltext and meta pages of all of these repords in pdf and txt form so I can store them locally and work on them locally (the site is often overloaded at the moment, and advanced full text search is not available). I searched for a way to do that easily. No dice. The only way, it appears, would be to hammer the server with wget and recursively download everything on there. Bad form.
Does that refer to the bribe normally required to access these documents?
How much is that in Libraries of Congress?
Nobody's gonna believe that computers are intelligent until they start coming in late and lying about it.

Wisconsin pilot helps pull off 'Miracle on the Hudson'
A pilot from Wisconsin helped pull off Thursday's crash landing of a U.S. Airways plane in the Hudson River in New York.
Jeff Skiles of Oregon in Dane County co-piloted the Airbus that had just taken off for Charlotte when it struck a flock of birds.
That's apparently what disabled the two engines, forcing Skiles and pilot Sully Sullenberger to take the aircraft down.
Skiles, 49, is a 23-year veteran of U.S. Airways, and is now based in Charlotte.

So easy to get to tegel airport. Woman at counter was very nice. Accommodation was ideal for what I needed: place to crash on overnight layover.

I left a half hour before breakfast was supposed to start, but it was already ready so I got it anyway. - Anonymous
Upon our arrival, the staff checked us in and immediately began giving
us the rundown of where to go and how to get there. They gave us a
detailed map and explained the subway system. They were very helpful and
it was very comforting in a foreign country! They even switched rooms
for us when the room we were in was a bit to loud for us due to
passersby and traffic. The rooms were superbly clean compared to other
budget places we stayed at during our travels and the breakfast was
delicious! - Anonymous
Hotel is nice and the apartments were very nice and cozy. Staff spoke perfect English and the breakfast exceeded expectations. Good value for money bearing in mind that it is Berlin. - Anonymous
We were only there for 6 hours- arrived late and had an early flight to catch the next day, so just needed a place to crash for the night. The place was clean and quiet though, and the staff were very helpful. - Erin
It was an excellent hotel with friendly and very helpful staff, a very pleasant stay, and will definitely use this hotel again. - Andrew

Stephen King has worked hard to earn his status as a best-selling author and Maine's creepiest man. That's why producers of the upcoming remake of his end of days epic The Stand should listen to his advice.

Good news for people who love terrifying monsters: McG is back. Oh, and so is Monsters director Gareth Edwards.

The space-time continuum is safe for now. Robert Zemeckis has wisely passed on the opportunity to remake the beloved classic The Wizard Of Oz.
If you ask me, going back to the original script is a great idea. Hopefully it's chalk-full of references to William Jennings Bryan and the gold standard, which is sure to bring the Ron Paul demographic out to the theaters.
Warner Bros. has dropped the trailer for The Green Lantern! …With Espanol subtitles. Ryan Reynolds plays a test pilot who receives a ring from a dying alien that lets him create anything he wants with green energy. He then gets cocky, but soon learns that he shouldn't get so cocky.
Warner Bros. has recently been getting all jazzed up about their Looney Tunes properties. The studio is producing new 3D shorts for the big screen, and Mike Myers has signed on to voice stinky, sexually aggressive skunk Pepe Le Pew. Now WB has bought a pitch for a film that centers on the ACME Warehouse, the outlet where Wile E. Coyote frequently shops.
There aren't many details about the Kevin and Dan Hageman pitch, but as you can tell from the above pic, there are plenty of products to explore. Of course, WB could instead decide to capitalize on the world's overwhelming fascination with the history of the anvil. A three hour documentary on the device most often used by animated characters to murder other animated characters would get butts in the seats, no question. (THR)
New Zealand is coming across as a little too desperate about this whole Hobbit situation. Granted, I know losing the Peter Jackson film, with its $500 million budget, would be a huge economic loss, but this video/rally seems just a little over the top.
New Zealand has to understand that Warner Bros. isn't going to respect them if they act so needy. What they need to do is act like they don't give a damn where The Hobbit is shot. Maybe New Zealand can even make out with some executives from Universal in a public place where Warner Bros. can totally see what's going on! That's sure to make Warner Bros. jealous! (Deadline)
Watch New Zealand come across as desperate after the jump…
Christopher Nolan enjoyed working with Tom Hardy on Inception so much that he's brought him on to star in his third Batman movie. Warner Bros. won't divulge any details, but everyone's assuming Hardy will play a villain. One thing is for certain: he won't play Batman. That's Christian Bale's role, silly.
If you're upset that Hardy's dropping Mad Max for Batman, don't fret. He'll be back on that project when (if?) it ever gets going again. God hates the production of Mad Max almost as much as he hates Transformers 3. So Hardy as a Batman villain? What say you, commenters? (Deadline)
"Say what?!"
Warner Bros. has scrapped plans to release Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 in 3D. Break some hearts, THR:
"When the film arrives in theaters on Nov. 19, it will be in 2D, playing both conventional theaters and IMAX, but that "we will not have a completed 3D version of the film within our release date window. Despite everyone's best efforts, we were unable to convert the film in its entirety and meet the highest standards of quality. We do not want to disappoint fans who have long-anticipated the conclusion of this extraordinary journey."
Good riddance. If the film was going to have Clash of the Titans craptastic post 3D then keep that mofo in the second dimension. Releasing Part 2 in 3D will make it all that more memorable and dare I say…special. However Warner Bros, I suggest you reenforce your studio gates. Some irritated muggles might be storming them at any moment.
Once again, thank you, Internet.
Warner Bros. has hired Sherlock Holmes writer Anthony Peckham to do a complete rewrite on Yucatan as a star vehicle for Robert Downey Jr. The actor will also produce the film with his wife Susan Downey through their Team Downey production company. Awwww, I love family affairs. Maybe their kid can mark the scenes with a little clapboard.
In the film, Downey will play a deep-sea salvage expert hired to steal a mysterious hidden treasure hidden deep underwater in the Mayan ruins of Yucatan. So far Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson haven't wiggled their way into the project. God knows they love looking for treasure together and getting into trouble along the way. Yucatan was originally a passion project for the late and great actor Steve McQueen. He compiled over 1500 pages of notes but never got the film off the ground before dying in 1980. Hope he's cool with his kids handing it over to Downey. A vengeful McQueen zombie would be the worst kind of zombie. (Deadline)
Yesterday, everyone on the Internet was reporting that Darren Aronofsky was taking on the Wolverine sequel. Well hold your damn horses. Now, Empire Online is reporting that Warner Bros. has made a counter offer that might just land the director in their camp: a 40's era period piece called Tales from the Gangster Squad.
Tales from the Gangster Squad follows the exploits of Sergeant John O'Mara's off-the-books team of police mercenaries, who targeted mob-linked gangster Mickey Cohen and his attempts to bring East Coast organised crime firmly into LA. Originally chronicled in a series of LA Times articles by Paul Lieberman, the script has been penned by cop-turned-writer Will Beall.
That's a tough call. Both films sound like a good fit for Aronofsky. It reminds me a little of Sophie's Choice, except for this I'm going to stay tuned to find out what happens instead of switching over to "Real World/Road Rules Challenge" (Sorry, Sophie).
"You don't know what a HUG is?"
Warner Bros. is planning to start shooting Christopher Nolan's third Batman movie in April in the fine city of New Orleans. Yes, I'm displeased by this news too. I was hoping shooting would start next week in the Rite Aid parking lot across from my apartment. My reasoning for this is two fold. 1) April is too damn far away. I want another Nolan movie, especially another Nolan Batman, in theaters ASAP. 2) New Orleans is too far away. If the film were shot in the Rite Aid parking lot across from my apartment I'd be able to watch all the action go down. With enough green screen and CG they could rearrange the homeless people to make it look like Chicago/Gotham. (Coming Soon)
Now imagine this in color. And 3D.
Much like Godzilla, "The Pacific" producer Bruce C. McKenna is drawing upon his love of killing Japanese people again for his next project. McKenna has sold a pitch to Warner Bros. to develop The Battle Of Midway into a big-budget 3D war epic. Reported to have a budget somewhere in the $200 million range, expect this recount of the historic air and sea battle to be a big one.
There's no word on casting or director as of yet, but we'll let you know when Clint Eastwood casts Channing Tatum as a maverick fighter pilot who is constantly at odds with by-the-book squad leader Jon Hamm. (Deadline)
While Peter Jackson is confident that the legal squabble between Warner Bros. and MGM over The Hobbit will be resolved "sometime soon," the Lord of the Rings prequel may not be his primary concern.
During an interview with New Zealand's Dominion Post, the acclaimed director discussed plans for his long-awaited ANZAC project, which would depict the exploits of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps during World War I. Jackson hopes to complete the project before the 100th anniversary of the disastrous Battle of Gallipoli in 2015.
"It was doomed because while the Australians charged the Nek from below, the New Zealanders, who were supposed to simultaneously attack from above, didn't show up. But that's another story, and one I'd love to make as the 100th anniversary gets closer."
While the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli is an important milestone, let's not forget that the eleventy-billionth anniversary of the Battle of the Pelennor Fields is also approaching. Allowing The Hobbit to languish in legal limbo spits on the memory of all those who gave their lives fighting Sauron and his evil minions. Shame on you, Peter Jackson. (Empire Online)
Doug Liman is officially on board to direct All You Need Is Kill, Empire Online is reporting. Based on the 2004 sci-fi novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, the film will follow the story of a soldier who is killed while fighting aliens, but finds himself caught in a time loop, reliving the events leading up to his death over and over again. With each subsequent death, the character improves his skills while attempting to break the cycle.
This really makes me mad. Warner Bros. acted like I was nuts when I pitched them my idea for a mash-up of Starship Troopers and Groundhog Day. They kept telling me things like "you're not authorized to be in here" and "put your pants back on." Well, we'll see who's crazy when they get a call from my lawyer, Robert Kardashian.
Warner Bros is determined to bring back that rascally rabbit Bugs Bunny, sans Brendan Fraser and Michael Jordan this time. David Berenbaum (The Spiderwick Chronicles) has been hired to write Bugs Bunny, a live action/CG feature film. The studio must want to jump on the new wave of reviving old cartoon characters through the use of computer magic. As of late, we've been subjected to Marmaduke, The Smurfs, and Yogi Bear, and now the "Looney Tunes" bin is being raided.
I've been a huge fan of Bugs Bunny for as long as I can remember. The "Looney Tunes" cartoons were way ahead of their time, and the talented Mel Blanc, who voiced Bugs along with Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig, managed to create a stable of characters whose catch phrases will live on forever. I especially enjoyed when he'd raise his voice an octive when Bugs dressed up like a girl bunny. There's a fine line between pre-op and post-op delivery, and he nailed it. (Deadline)

One of America's most prominent Islam bashers has a long history of making things up.
Crosspost: Max Blumenthal
While promoting her new book, Heretic, on a March 23 episode of "The Daily Show," Somali-born author and anti-Islam activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali made a staggering claim: "If you look at 70 percent of the violence in the world today, Muslims are responsible," she told host Jon Stewart.
Stewart did not demand any evidence and Hirsi Ali provided no citation. However, she made a strikingly similar statement in a March 20 essay previewing her new book for the Wall Street Journal: "According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies," Hirsi Ali wrote in WSJ's Saturday Essay, "at least 70% of all the fatalities in armed conflicts around the world last year were in wars involving Muslims."
I contacted the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), a leading British foreign policy think tank, to inquire about the source of Hirsi Ali's statistic. According to IISS Media Relations and Communications Officer Kat Slowe, IISS did not explicitly state such a figure in its research.

Short visit only for Rick and Wendy
... the upstairs of a 2 story bus and the company of 2 locals who were great company.
In Cordoba they stayed in a B and B with a delightful man, Diego, who gave them lots of great local travel advise which they used to fill in their time there. From Cordoba they flew to Buenos Aires to meet up with the group.
All this is just for us?
Hello everyone.
Me again! Here to tell you all about our time in Cordoba, Argentina.
We arrived in Cordoba a little weary after our 10-hour bus journey from Mendoza, which was a very pretty journey.
After making our way to the hostel, Baluch Backpackers, we were delighted to be shown to a small flat, complete with our own kitchen, bathroom and lounge area! We left Tepig to choose which beanbag ...
The girl in this blog was American - no comment.
... com . Azimo set up a money exchange for anyone with a UK bank account to any destination in the world. Unfortunately those destinations are normally those horrible semi pawn broker type shops. Like western union but seedier, the sort of place you imagine drug dealers money gets laundered. They are also few and far between though, and hard to find. Not to be deterred by this for a possible 5 peso increase per pound we happily trekked across town by ...
Travelling to Argentina
... G&T on the plane, complimentary, thank you very much British Airways! But I did pick the right seat as I was next to the emergency exit which meant I had oodles of leg room and only one neighbour. Unfortunately he was an armrest hogger, a definite pet peeve of mine. Strangely he asked me if I mined if he turned on his fan, which was weird as it had no effect on me and yet he continued to hog the arm rest. He also had one of the poshest accents I'd ever heard.
Manzana Jesuítica
... it was about an hour long!) but well worth the time, especially as it is considered the 'fifth wonder in Artificial Cordoba'. (There are seven artificial and seven natural wonders of Cordoba, as elected in 'La Voz' in 2008.)
On a completely unrelated note, it's not uncommon to see quad bikes on the roads round La Calera. So now I want one. Can someone fix this for me please? Thanks.

Cold Steel
And of course Spyderco with our great supporting member discounts.
Cold Steel
Spyderco has been FANTASTIC to our forum and they make some sharp as hell knives. I love their stuff.
Mil-Tac Knives has also been very good to us and they make some REAL world tactical style blades that take some serious abuse and keep on coming.
SOG made some great models back in the day, but their new designs seem somewhat lacking in my opinion. They do come sharp as hell right out of the box though.
We don't discuss Cold Steel around these parts.
i love my benchmades.
I've got a very eclectic taste in knives, and I've dealt with many companies both as a blade junky and as a dealer. These are the brands that make up the bulk of my collection (all users, no safe queens).
-Victorinox and Wenger. The blade steel they use isn't great, but their fit and finish is top notch. I love both their Swiss army knives and multitools. Great value and what's probably the best warranty ever (no matter what the paperwork says, you send a broken knife and they return it fixed or give you a new one for free). No matter what else I carry, there's a SAK in one of my pockets.
-Spyderco. Great knives, good prices and excellent customer service. I like the way the Glessers run their company, I get a warm fuzzy feeling everytime I send money their way. And I'm not just saying this because of their FTF discount (search some of my threads from way before we got that deal).
-Kershaw. I like their designs a lot, and also love that they offer some very well priced American made folders (like the Skyline or Storm). I'm particularly fond of the models with composite blades, and while I'm not a die-hard assisted opening fan I find it entertaining.
-Fallkniven. Simple designs, quality materials, convex ground blades. The only thing I don't like are the rubber handles (but you can just get finished blade blanks and a couple of on-line stores offer custom handled versions). The F1 (with full cover leather sheath) is one of my favourite outdoors knives, while the WM1 makes a perfect fixed blade EDC. Their folders are great, too.
-Benchmade. Mmmmh AXIS lock... I wish I could still buy them wholesale from my distributor, amazing knives. I was introduced to this brand by an Aussie friend who sold me a customised Ares. I also like their balisongs very much.
-Fox. This brand isn't well known in the US, but they've made loads of stuff for well known American companies. They made the Hossom fixed blades for Spyderco, the Retribution folders (also a Hossom design) for Ontario, they make folders and pens for Mil-Tac, stuff for TOPS, etc. The knives they are making for the Fox Military Division line are excellent. I was sent a few samples to write an article for an Argentine magazine and liked them so much I ended up buying a couple.
-Great Eastern Cutlery. GEC is a relatively new company that's making excellent traditional folders. I haven't tried any of their stainless steel knives, but I'm really happy with their carbon steel ones. I'm definitely going to add a few more to my EDC rotation.
-Case. Their QC has had some ups and downs, but in the past few years I think they've improved a lot. I don't care for their "Surgical Stainless" blades but I'm crazy about their offerings in carbon steel (they call it CV for chrome vanadium). There's something special about the way a bone handled slipjoint with carbon steel blades ages, it's lovely. Hell, I've even taken a liking to some of Case's knives with yellow plastic handles. My yellow Sodbuster Jr. has seen more action than all my fancy tacticool folders put together, the CV blade is covered in a delightful patina. Probably the best $15 I've spent on a knife!
-Bark River Knife & Tool. Mike Stewart (BRK&T owner) knows a lot about knives, he was vicepresident of Marble's (and some people are willing to pay extra for Marble's knives made under him!). IMHO, these are some of the best production fixed blades in the market today. Sheaths used to be rather crappy, but that has been fixed. I love that they bring old traditional designs back to life. I don't have any experience with their newer tactical knives, I prefer their outdoors oriented ones. Mr. Stewart is to blame for my convex grind addiction.
Ok, by now it should be clear that asking me to pick just a couple of knife brands is impossible, I could go on and on and bore you to death. There are too many good ones out there and I'm sure that I'd find it easier to commit to a single woman for the rest of my life than to only a handful of knife brands.
Now hatred is by far the longest pleasure;
Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.
- Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron), Don Juan
(canto XII, st. 6)
I am there with benchmade and kershaw no spyderco there good to and a little bit cheaper then bmo
This guy knows whats up I also like scrapyard fixed blades only. Chirs reeves sebenza 21 if you don't like knives and you see the price on that you wouldn't not understand why I would pay that much for a knife. +1 on the benchmade balis. Cold steel if I am feeling mall ninjaish. Becker is good rat is another favorite ontario is another good one that i like. The list goes on an on and on.
I didn't see this thread before. My favorites are Spyderco and Kershaw, but I like my new Benchmades too.
I like Case knives. My favorite is an old Explorer (Japan) 440c made of stainless and has ebony scales.

Animal venom components are of considerable interest to researchers across a wide variety of disciplines, including molecular biology, biochemistry, medicine, and evolutionary genetics. The three-finger family of snake venom peptides is a particularly interesting and biochemically complex group of venom peptides, because they are encoded by a large multigene family and display a diverse array of functional activities. In addition, understanding how this complex and highly varied multigene family evolved is an interesting question to researchers investigating the biochemical diversity of these peptides and their impact on human health. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to investigate the long-term evolutionary patterns exhibited by these snake venom toxins to understand the mechanisms by which they diversified into a large, biochemically diverse, multigene family. Our results show a much greater diversity of family members than was previously known, including a number of subfamilies that did not fall within any previously identified groups with characterized activities. In addition, we found that the long-term evolutionary processes that gave rise to the diversity of three-finger toxins are consistent with the birth-and-death model of multigene family evolution. It is anticipated that this "three-finger toxin toolkit" will prove to be useful in providing a clearer picture of the diversity of investigational ligands or potential therapeutics available within this important family.
