In addition to our regular news stories, each month FSFE issues a newsletter that summarises its most important activities.

In 2005 we started giving crypto cards
to individuals who donated to us and have become Fellow of FSFE. We believe it
is important to remind people about Free Software tools to encrypt our
communications. Besides since FSFE was founded in 2001, we have been explaining
that those 40 digits on our business cards are about encryption and why this
is important. 8 years later, the topic encryption hit ithe media, and it is now
mentioned in every newspaper in Europe. This is good and bad at the same time:
We currently face the problem that media attention is very high but it does
not mean we have more resources to deal with it. We would like to work more on
these issues but we also cannot stop working on other long term topics.
At the first glance some devices might look like crap. Why should anyone buy
them? Some people laughed at your editor when he bought his Open Moko Neo
Freerunner. You could buy cheaper devices with a faster CPU, more RAM, more
disk space, nicer casing, better network connection, better microphone and
speakers at that time.
From 27-29 September 22 Fellows of FSFE from 10 countries
gathered in Berlin for the first European Coordinators Meeting. During the
weekend the coordinators got to know each other, presented their work, talked
about possibilities to promote Free Software, shared good practices, and
provided valuable feedback about our campaigns. If you are interested to see
who is promoting Free Software in local Fellowship groups have
a look at Lucile's blog entry.
F-Droid is a project that
provides Free Software applications for Android via a repository system, much
like most package systems of the GNU/Linux distributions. This differs from
other mobile app markets, like Google Play or Apple's AppStore, since the
client and server side software respect your freedoms and do not force you to
register an account to use them. F-Droid's settings will value your privacy:
although you can choose to enable it, by default it does not show programs
which 1) show advertisement, 2) track and report your activity, promote 3)
non-free add-ons or 4) non-free network services, or 5) depend on other
non-free apps. That is why since the beginning of FSFE's "Free Your Android" campaign we
point people to F-Droid.
For almost two decades the Free Software Foundations have been working for a
society where the power over technology is distributed. We work
for a world in which nobody can prevent others from learning how computers
work. A world in which programmers can work with each other instead against
each other. Nobody should be forced to use a certain kind of software without
being able to adjust it to her own needs instead of adjusting herself to the
software. Everybody should be able to audit software, to understand what a
program does exactly and what happens to your data.
Unfortunately sometimes companies forget their responsibility when using
Free Software in their products. Someone has to make sure that
companies are reminded from time to time. That's what we do with our compliance work. After
our volunteers found a GNU GPL violation in a workshop in May 2012, we handed
all the evidence to Harald Welte from gpl-violations.org and his lawyers. They
processed the case and we were now
informed that we won the case.
No Free Software programmer wants them but unfortunately they are still granted: software patents. They monopolise ideas about software, so programmers cannot use them. In April the German Parliament (the 'Bundestag') has introduced a joint motion against software patents. It urges the German government to take steps to limit the granting of patents on computer programs. After the first hearing in Parliament, your editor was invited as an external expert to the legal committee meeting on May 13th.
Every year on the last wednesday of March, Document Freedom Day (DFD) takes place: the global day to raise awareness of Open Standards, organised by the FSFE. It has been amazing to see year by year how the message of freedom and Open Standards has continued to spread around the world. This year, there were 59 events in 30 countries, and many first time participants, including Niger, Indonesia and the United States.
From February 1st to February 3rd thousands of people went to Brussels to
participate in FOSDEM -- the Free and Open Source Software Developers' European
Meeting. At FOSDEM you have the opportunity to meet developers and
contributors from nearly all major Free Software projects. FSFE is always there
to talk with people about ongoing developments and the needs and contributions
in the Free Software community. So it is a good place to exchange information,
talk with very interesting people, plan future activities, and meet all the
people you would usually just have e-mail contact with.
Pupils, as well as teachers, must have the possibility to
use Free Software at school. Unfortunately, many of the IT questions on the
questionnaire used to evaluate prospective teachers in Italy focus on a
single proprietary operating system and software exclusively available on that system.
The practice discriminates against Free Software users wishing to become teachers.
Our Italian team filed a legal complaint to
the Italian Ministry of Education about that. In association with AsSoLi, Wikimedia
Italia, the Free Software User Group Italia, the Associazione per
l'Informazione Geografica Libera (GFoss.it), the Italian Linux Society,
LibreItalia and 38 other groups we explain that the country's Ministry of
Education is putting Free Software at an unfair disadvantage.
First the bad news: The city of Freiburg has decided to switch back, from
OpenOffice.org, to Microsoft Office. The study they based their decision on was
published one week before the decision, which we and
other Free Software organisations had criticised before. Unfortunate news,
but as IBM's Rob Weir wrote in
his article in the Free Software community we tend to look at the bad
news, and forget about the good news.
Most of the participants in our Free Your Android
workshops are concerned whether rooting your device (e.g. an
Android phone) and replacing its operating system with something else voids
your statutory warranty as consumer. We asked our legal coordinator
Matija Šuklje and FSFE legal council Carlo Piana to analyse the problem. Their
answer is: No. "Just the fact that you modified or changed the software
of your device, is not a sufficient reason to void your statutory warranty. As
long as you have bought the device as a consumer in the European Union." Read throughout
After Italy's
new law on software procurement which clearly prefers Free Software upon
non-free software, France also took action: On September 19th France's Prime
Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault signed
a guideline, addressed to all ministries, that the French public
administration should favour Free Software. The advantages the Prime Minister sees
in Free Software, are its lower costs and that it increases flexibility and
competition in the IT market. The public administration should make "an
educated choice", and do "a systematic review of free alternatives when doing
development and major revisions of applications."
In the last newsletter
edition we asked you in our "Get active" section to help us with Free
Your Android installation parties, like the GNU/Linux installation parties
some years ago. Thanks to all of you, who contacted us about it, and who
offered their help for the future.
For the first time, the European Parliament (EP) is about to release one of
its own programs as a Free Software. The program in question is called AT4AM,
short for "Automatic Tool for Amendments". The Parliament is making laws, and
AT4AM automates a lot of the formalities associated with the legislative
The FSFE's goal is to ensure that the owners of IT devices are always
in full
and sole control of them. This fundamental principle is recently being
challenged. For maintaining sustained growth in the development and use of
software, the broad availability of general purpose computers is crucial. This
month the FSFE published its
"Secure Boot" analysis.
There are two major terms connected to software that can
be freely used, studied, shared and improved: Free Software and Open Source.
You can also find different combinations and translations of those terms like FOSS, Libre
Software, FLOSS and so on. Reading articles about Free Software or listening to
people involved in Free Software often raises the question: Why do they use one
term or another and how they differ from each other?
As you can read and see in this years
report, Document Freedom Day 2012 was celebrated with 54 events in 23
countries and in 19 world languages. It was the biggest DFD in history with
over 26 talks, over 6 awards for Open Standards, lots of other events and the
press coverage counted almost one hundred articles. FSFE coordinated
between all the different events, awarded several organisation, and in Germany
mailed over 370 and called over 170 politicians about Open
Standards. Several of these politicians, from a range of political
parties, did activities
for DFD. FSFE also send out 100 information
packages including handcuffs to suggested people including several
politicians, CEOs, and the Pope. EU Commissioner Neelie Kroes used our
handcuffs in a public speech, which resulted in a lot of
additional press coverage including the front page of the Guardian
Online. FSFE is eager to hear more reports of what recipients of the
package did with the handcuffs.
A "project" is always temporary, in the narrow sense of the
term. Some Free Software people use "project" to refer to long lasting
initiatives instead. Your editor also did this, until Bernhard Reiter
convinced him to use different terms for people, the result they create, and
temporary concerted actions. After several people in FSFE encouraged Bernhard
to write down his thoughts, he now published an
article arguing: By adopting the more widespread use of the term project,
Free Software initiatives will be more successful. "Free Software is here to
stay, prepare your mind for this situation.", writes Bernhard.
"7500 dead people in the last year, daily up to 100." That is what your
editor read on the subway news screen in Berlin. While discussing with DFD volunteer Julia
Fuchs what is wrong -- your editors reading skills, his basic
mathematical skills, or the news agency -- something else popped up: our FreeYourAndroid.org campaign!
Unfortunately your editor was too slow to make a picture of that. But as the
German news agency DPA covered the official campaign start, we had a
very good press coverage, so a lot of people read about how you can use Free
Software on mobile phones. The campaign manager Torsten Grote is currently
gathering all the press coverage, please send news and blog stories about
#FreeYourAndroid to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Smartphones are small computers that we carry around all the time. Unfortunately, most
smartphones are not controlled by us, the users, but by the manufacturers and the
operators. Even Android phones are being shipped with non-free software and proprietary
add-ons that usually do not work in the full interest of us. Software updates
will only keep to be available if the manufacturer still has a commercial
interest in your device. The applications available from the official market
are most of the time non-free. Nobody is allowed to study how they work and
what they really do on your phone. Sometimes they do not work exactly as you
want, but sometimes they might even contain malicious features.
Competition authorities are investigating the sale of 6000 patents from
Nortel, a bankrupt telecommunications equipment manufacturer, to a consortium
of Apple, Microsoft and four other companies.
Who controls what you find on the internet? Search engines are a vital
connection between you and information. In the eyes of the FSFE, it is important that users can
be independent. That is why we spread awareness about the 1.0 release of YaCy,
a peer-to-peer search engine. Read about YaCy at
our press release, Karsten
Gerloff's blog entry or choose one of the many
news sites who wrote about it, including Wall Street Journal, BBC News,
The Telegraph or TAZ.
How long should copyright last? Should living beings or software be
patentable? The World Intellectual Property Organisation deals with this sort
of questions. Since 2004, we are involved in the WIPO to make sure they do not
harm Free Software. Our most important demand is that when it comes to
copyright and patents, the benefits should be weighed against the costs.
FSFE Fellow Michael Clemens has a solution for all of you out there who want
to know when their laundry in the washing machine is done. In
his article he explains how to build get a "Laundruino", based on the
Free Software microcontroller Arduino, which informs you of
the status of your laundry cycle.
The first day in a new organisation always is quite intensive, many new
people, procedures, so much information. Our new intern Eszter Bako it was even more
intense. She spent her first day with FSFE at the Desktop Summit, surrounded by nearly 800
people talking about strange things such as KDE, Gnome, Qt, GTK, Plasma, Git, QML,
D-Bus, or about how
to build a toaster. For beginners the Free Software community can give a
strange impression.
Bernhard Reiter is one of FSFE's founders and architect of the original German
team. He participated in setting
up three important Free Software organisations: FreeGIS.org, FFII, and
FossGIS. Besides that, he is founder and Executive Director of Intevation GmbH, a
company with exclusively Free Software products and services since 1999.
Imagine that you've just bought a computer with pre-installed Free Software. After
some time you decide to install additional software made by someone
else. The vendor that sold you your computer, however, does not approve, and decides to sue the people who made the additional software
that you installed. Sounds like purchasing a computer from that vendor was not such a great idea!
What would you do with a monopolist, who uses his dominant position in one
area to create monopolies in other areas as well? The European Commission has
decided in 2004 that Microsoft has to provide competitors with information how
to connect a workgroup server with computers running Microsoft Windows. Since
the main competitor to Microsoft's workgroup server is the Free Software Samba
project, the Commission made it clear that Microsoft had to release
interoperability information in a way that is compatible with Free Software
licenses like the GNU GPL. The Commission's 2004 decision did not require
Microsoft to publish innovative information, it asked for simple information
how Microsoft computers talk to each other.
882 software patents, likely related to GNU/Linux, in the
hands of people who could use them to pressure Free Software companies and
developers? Maybe in the hands of Microsoft, which has for years used nebulous
patent claims to extract licensing fees from companies that use the Linux
kernel in their products. This month the German and the US competition
authorities approved the sale of those patents to CPTN, a consortium consisting
of Microsoft, Oracle, Apple, and EMC. But, barring nasty surprises in the still
to be published detailed decision, we neutralised the danger for Free
One room with a bed, a desk, and a sofa. That was the situation when
your editor started working as an intern for FSFE in Georg Greve's one
room appartment in Hamburg in 2004. FSFE started with its operations
in March 2001 as the first
sister organisation of the FSF in the US. We have come a
long way since then.
First of all, our interns don't get Georg's mandatory cooking lessons any more,
instead they now have their own desks and do not have to work from the
sofa any more. Second, we now have the Fellowship which leads to a growth
of volunteers and activities:
"On 27th January facebook was shut down in Egypt. For the
moment this stopped the protests. Media assumes that this is due to the
influence of Mubarak's granddaughter who is Mark Zuckerberg's girl-friend." Of
course this is not true. But with software which is controlled by one company,
something like this can happen. What if the owner of the social network would
have been an Egypt company? Would this company have been able to resist state
Videos on the internet often prove to be literal nuisance to Free Software users. Several websites required the non-free flash video plugin to view videos. Perhaps also your friends were wondering why you are not able to watch youtube videos within your web browser, and thought you are a freak when you started downloading videos with youtube-dl. With gnash and other programs which are able to play flash video directly the situation improved. But flash is still a pain annoying both for Free Software users and developers.
Their mission is to bring Free Software into schools
and universities. Their new task is to gather information about their
stakeholders, and create
targeted leaflets. And I am sure the favourite colour of the
coordinators Thomas
Jensch and Guido Arnold
is Fellowship green. That's our education team.
This edition covers the current developments in Open Standards policy, some
basic information about software patents, an update from FSCONS about
distributed computing, and how you can support us in the end of the year.
This edition explains how we counter the lobby work of
proprietary organisations at the European level, what we do at the United
Nations level to inform more people about the dangers of software patents, what
we are doing to get rid of non-free software advertisement on public websites,
and what you can do to make a change.
In this edition we discuss the misleading term "fair, reasonable
and non-discriminatory terms" (FRAND), we explain what we are doing about centralised
computer systems and the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), and update you on our
current campaign to end non-free software commercials by public institutions.
In this edition we are covering Free Software in education,
distributed Free Software solutions as alternative to centralised services,
some ways to celebrate what we -- the Free Software community -- already
achieved, and how you can participate in the European football championship
even if you are not interested in football.
The focus of this edition is Free Software in the public
sector: on a national level within the United Kingdom, in the Italian region of
Bozen, and in the Austrian city of Linz. We introduce a new definition of
mnemonic Open Standards, and invite you to participate in upcoming local Free
Software events.
This edition covers Neelie Kroes' statement about Open
Standards, the Free Software discussion in Saxony (Germany), and the
relicensing of WebM to be GPL compatible, and asks you all to keep in touch
with your politicians about Free Software issues.
May was quite busy, for the first time we
participated in a big church event to inform visitors about Free
Software. We analysed the European Commission's Digital Agenda, and
there was news about free video formats.
In January, FSFE was awarded the Theodor Heuss Medal as a "trendsetting
organisation". This recognition for the hard work of the past years was a
good start into the new year.
Despite the temperatures dropping below zero all over Europe and the
Christmas holidays approaching, FSFE kept working as usual for software
freedom. The major news of December are that we have begun to
restructure our website, added Andreas Tolf Tolfsen as webmaster deputy
coordinator, and published a statement on the EC's settlement with
Microsoft in the browser antitrust case. Read on to learn more about
what we did in December.
November: another month full of activities and work to do for FSFE.
Among other things we launched the Fellowship grant project, fought for
Open Standards in the European public sector, had an excellent time at
the FSCONS in Sweden, and participated in WIPO to ensure that Free
Software principles are respected. To keep FSFE strong and independent,
we have launched our year-end fund raising campaign: Cooking for Freedom.
October has been a dense, vibrant and challenging month for FSFE.
We have done more work than will fit the limits of this letter.
For this reason, after reading the newsletter, please visit the
news section of our website to have a complete overview of our
The Software Freedom Day is one of the main events in the Free Software
community in September, and it is an event we never miss: this year FSFE
celebrated in Leipzig, Vienna and Hamburg with the help of our Fellows.
Thanks to them, the campaign "Ask your candidate about Free Software!" for
the German elections became a great success.
August traditionally is a month with a lower level of activity due to
holidays. Still, a lot of things happened under FSFE's and the
Fellowship's roofs.
This month has been full of activity, but one bit of news has cast a
shadow over it all. We have learned of the death of Richard Rothwell,
who was a prominent and respected advocate for Free Software in
education and a Fellow. We are saying farewell to him below.
June has definitely been a thrilling month. Besides our ongoing
activities with Fellowship meetings, participations to events such as
the LinuxTag in Berlin, most of our energy and attention were directed
at the General Assembly (GA) held in Miraflores de la Sierra.
May has been an hot month for us. Not only because the first real sunbeams
start showing up all-over Europe, but mainly because during the whole month
we run our first-ever voting process to elect a Fellow representative to FSFE
General Assembly (GA). Moreover, we published our call for applications as
coordinator and staff positions in our legal department, and our Austrian
team concluded its challenging and satisfying tour across the whole Austria,
by participating to "Linuxwochen Eisenstadt".
Do you know one thing that makes Free Software sustainable? You! Yes, it
is your support that allows us to operate across the whole Europe and at
different levels to promote and defend Free Software principles.
Amongst other things, your donations made possible the planning and
coordination of the Second European Licensing and Legal Workshop. They
allowed the Austrian team to participate in many public events across
the whole Austria and to continue having an intern in our Zurich office.
If you were wondering when the newsletter would come back, stop
wondering - it's back! We apologise for the delays in delivering the
newsletter over the past few months and assure you that our monthly
newsletter will now resume the task of updating you regularly about
FSFE activities.
October marked the beginning of a planning phase in FSFE. As
well as planning our campaigns for next year, we've been working
on some actions for around the upcoming festive season.
Alongside the internal discussions, we've been asking the
community for ideas when we go to events or hold Fellowship
This was an important month for Free Software. Not only was Software Freedom
Day held (as always) on the 20th, but this years marks the 25th anniversary of
the GNU Project. Celebrations took place across Europe and our Fellows
continued to support Free Software in local areas with enthusiasm and passion.
The most exciting thing this month is the amount of Fellowship activity we
are seeing around Europe. It's great to see more and more local meetings,
giving Free Software supporters a chance to hang out together and share
FSFE's activities have been varied over the last month. It's promising to see
the increase of Fellowship activities across Europe. We are looking forward to
seeing more local groups appear and to hearing about their activities on all
levels. One of the most important parts of supporting Free Software is sharing
knowledge in your own community.
Housekeeping items are the least popular of all tasks in any
organisation, and any organisation that is working under pressure has
a tendency of accumulating them.
That is why after the intensive work of the past year to build up and
grow the Freedom Task Force, work on antitrust and OOXML issues, and
various other activities, FSFE had some of them as well.
Fortunately, after substantial preparation and three intensive days,
FSFE's General Assembly in June managed to take care of them and send
everyone home highly motivated and with a full task list. The results
of this will become slowly visible throughout the coming year.
Issues around standardisation continued to make headlines during April.
However, other important areas of focus were also under discussion around
the world.
It has been another busy month for software freedom. Open Standards have
continued to dominate discussions in ICT with the MS-OOXML proposal being
accepted by ISO as a standard. FSFE and numerous other parties have observed
this process from the beginning and have reason to be concerned about the state
of international standardisation. You could read more about this in our
lead story below.
It has been an exceptional month. The European Commission has fined
Microsoft an additional 899 million Euro for continuing to restrict
access to interoperability information prior to October 2007 and the
ISO Ballot Resolution Meeting in Geneva failed to address most of the
serious issues and ultimately ended up waving through the bulk of ECMA
responses without review. Public awareness of issues relating to
software freedom have been raised dramatically.
January has been a month full of activity both on the grassroots community
level and in broad topics like Free Software legal infrastructure. The local
Fellowship groups in Berlin and Duesseldorf are very active, and Duesseldorf's
Fellowship is planning to expand to nearby cities in the coming months.
Meanwhile, FSFE and gpl-violations.org have been deepening their partnership
to ensure fair use of Free Software licences in the European area.
The last month of 2007 was pretty exciting, with the
biggest news being the release of interoperability information by Microsoft in
connection with the European antitrust case. The SAMBA project has arranged
full access to specifications necessary for communication competitive
alternatives to Microsoft's proprietary products. Of course, this does not
mean that Microsoft's monopolistic behaviour has been resolved. A new
antitrust case may be undertaken after complaints by Opera Software that
Microsoft has willfully distorted the web browser marketplace. It's
also important to note that this does not in any way solve the problem
with patents on software. Such patents are still being granted by the
European Patent Office (EPO) in violation of current law, and the FSFE is
encouraging the European Commission to take actions to permanently abolish
patents on software, both in theory and practice.
Welcome to FSFE's exceptionally full November newsletter. In Europe FSFE
has been involved in speeches, meetings, training courses and public
betas of new technology. On the global level we have been participated in
the recent Internet Governance Forum meeting in Brazil.
Welcome to FSFE's October newsletter. This month, issues of
interoperability, sustainable ICT and Free Software in education
have been receiving attention. There are also changes inside FSFE,
with the Fellowship reviewing its infrastructure and long-term
projects like the FTF European Legal and Technical networks continuing
to expand. Exciting times indeed.

Luxury Ball | |
Information | |
Buy: | 5000 |
Sell: | 500 |
First Appearance: | Generation III |
Catch Rate: | 1x |
The Luxury Ball (Japanese: ゴージャスボール Gorgeous Ball) is used for catching Pokémon and is the fanciest of PokéBalls made so far, along with it being the most expensive of them all. It is designed for luxury as its name suggests. While it is the same as a normal Poké Ball in terms of success rates in general, a Pokémon caught in this ball will form a bond with its trainer more quickly. It is almost entirely black with a gold band around the middle as well as a gold button, and carries rings of red on both halves which themselves are flanked by rings of gold.
- Due to the Luxury Balls high cost and reputation as being more comfortable than other Pokeballs, it was likely originally designed for celebrites, the very rich, and wealthy Trainers.
- It fuction is similiar to the Friend Ball, as both effect the friendship of the captured Pokemon. Also like the Friend Ball, the Luxury Ball is useful in evolving Pokemon who require high friendship in order to evolve.
- Due to its similiarity to the Friend Ball, it's possible that the Luxury Ball was originally designed as an easier to produce alternative to the Friend Ball (which requires Green Apricorns in order to make them).

Seminary Relations
2481 Como Ave.St. Paul, MN 55108-1496
Giving of our assets is a way that we can say thank you to God for God's blessings in our lives. We do that continually through our offerings and outright gifts, but for many of us, the most significant gift we can make is through our estate plans.
Since 1987, The Heritage Society has recognized and welcomed people who have made estate plan inclusions or qualifying deferred gifts at Luther Seminary. The Heritage Society originally was sponsored by the Alumni/ae Association in gratitude for their seminary education, an education made possible largely by the financial and prayerful support of others.
The charter members recognized that the ministry of the gospel requires educated and committed leaders for Christian communities in mission. They knew that Luther Seminary could not adequately accomplish its mission without a solid financial base. Through prayers and financial support, Heritage Society members help provide this solid financial base.
Heritage Society members are stakeholders in the seminary's mission to educate leaders called and sent with the good news of Jesus Christ into a world of many cultures and religions.
Learn more about joining the Heritage SocietY
"In our community prayers during chapel, we name and give thanks for the life and witness of Heritage Society members whose legacy gifts have been realized at their deaths. We thank God for filling them with a spirit of generosity and faithfulness that will support the mission of Luther Seminary and the greater church throughout the world."—Laura Thelander, '97, Seminary Pastor

Local alumnus wins awards
Cody Anderson, Quincy High School and Feather River College graduate, gets ready to pitch his meanest fastball for the Carolina Mudcats. Anderson was recently awarded the Minker Award and named Carolina League Pitcher of the Year. Photo by Nikolaus from the Carolina Mudcats |
Sports Editor's Note: The following stories on Cody Anderson are compliments of the Carolina Mudcats, a minor league team of the Cleveland Indians. Anderson is a graduate of Quincy High School and Feather River College and currently plays for the Mudcats.
Pitcher Cody Anderson was named the 2013 winner of the Matt Minker Community Service Award. Each Carolina League club was eligible to nominate one player for consideration.
In his first year in Zebulon, N.C., Anderson spent many hours volunteering with various projects in the area. He visited the Marbles Kids Museum, participated in Miracle League camps and instructed Little Leaguers in clinics and camps throughout the summer. Anderson also took time to meet fans during autograph sessions.
Anderson was promoted to the Double-A Akron Aeros on Aug. 14. The right-hander left the Mudcats with a 9-4 record and the Carolina League's best ERA at 2.34. The Cleveland Indians selected Anderson out of Feather River College in the 14th round of the 2011 June draft. He was named a Carolina League all-star and pitched an inning in the Midsummer Classic against the California League's stars in San Jose.
Named in honor of the late Wilmington Blue Rocks team president, the Minker Award is bestowed upon the league player who does the best job of serving his club's community during each season. Minker passed away in November 2007 after a five-year battle with cancer. He was 60.
Minker was involved in the ownership of the Blue Rocks since the franchise moved to Wilmington, N.C., in 1993. His construction company built Frawley Stadium in five months. He became president of the club in 1995. During his 13 years representing Wilmington on the league's board of directors, he served the league as an officer, a member of the executive committee and as league representative on the minor league baseball board of trustees.
The Carolina Mudcats are the Advanced-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians and play their home games at Five County Stadium in Zebulon, N.C. The club is finishing its second year as a member of the Carolina League.

He is scheduled to return to court next week.

A new Freestanding Gas Range is a great way to add an updated look and additional functionality to your kitchen. If you find yourself running out of stovetop working space, various manufacturers offer a freestanding gas stove with a fifth burner. Avid bakers will appreciate a freestanding gas range with double oven compartments. With a range of colors, prices and sizes, Abt's selection of free standing gas ranges is sure to contain the perfect model for you. Choose the best gas oven from from top manufacturers like GE, Whirlpool, Viking and more.
A free standing gas range gets its name from the fact that it doesn't need to be secured to your cabinets or a wall to be used, but it instead stands freely. The sides the gas stove are also finished, so it can be placed at the end of a row of cabinets. This construction also makes it easy to move when you need to clean behind or on the sides of the unit. If designing a kitchen from scratch, it's important to decide which type of gas oven you'd like to use. Manufacturers typically offer many more options (sizes, colors, burner configurations) for a free-standing gas range compared to a slide-in model. |

Customer Loyalty to Apple's iPhone Declines for the First Time Ever!
Mon, Nov 05, 2012 - 3:22 PMSince Apple introduced the first iPhone way back in 2007, the number of smartphone owners who said they would definitely or maybe buy an iPhone for their next upgrade has steadily increased, never once falling. That has now changed since the release of the problematic iPhone 5.
Strategy Analytics made a study which found that this year, 88% of smartphone owners would likely or definitely buy an iPhone for their next smartphone purchase. This is indeed very high, but it's down on the whopping 93% who said so last year. This downward trend was true across the USA and Europe and looks like it might continue next year.
The most likely reason for this appears to be the various problems plaguing the new iPhone 5, such as purple-tinged pictures and the poor maps app, being just two, along with a perceived lack of innovation. Paul Brown, director at Strategy Analytics' User Experience Practice had this to say about this finding:
"There is no doubt that Apple is continuing its success in retaining existing user base while attracting new customers. However, negative press prompted by a perceived lack of recent innovation by Apple has meant we are starting to see some growth in the number of previously highly loyal consumers who are now reconsidering whether or not they will purchase a new iPhone for their next device."
Taryn Tulay, an analyst at Strategy Analytics, explained that it's the shift in the undecided that Apple should be most concerned about:
"it is the shift in the number of those who are unsure whether they will remain with the same brand for their next phone that Apple should be concerned about."
So, is the highly profitable era for Apple about to begin a slow decline into a me-too player chasing after every penny of profit? Time will tell.

Maybe debate should be the new football in Mississippi
With news of Houston Nutt losing his job as the football coach at Ole Miss, there has been renewed talk that too much money is spent on high school and college athletics.
As a huge sports fan, it's hard for me to totally jump on that bandwagon, but it is hard to justify raising millions for college athletics when there are so many academic classes falling by the wayside because it is politically unpopular to spend money on academics.
Having said that, there is one high school activity that has a 100 percent positive impact on students and their schools as well as having a lifelong impact for the students.
That is high school debating.
Debate has nothing to do with the number of 6-foot-3, 215-pound linebackers a school may have walking the halls who may run a 4.5-second, 40-yard dash.
The fact of the matter is that smaller schools can do well if there is a higher standard of academic excellence required.
Every reason we send our children to school in the first place is what the art of debate teaches. It is what we hope is being taught in all of the classrooms.
In fact, the success of a school's debate team, it could be argued, could be the singular measuring stick of the success of the school.
A debate team, as well as every student within a school, should be learning analytical skills. The ability to critically analyze a problem and propose workable solutions is invaluable. This is a skill that debate best teaches and high-level business people and professionals possess.
A debate team, as well as every student, should be learning research skills. From traditional library research to the Internet, debate teaches you to become a world-class researcher. Ask any college student, and they'll tell you how valuable this is.
A debate team, as well as every student, should be learning listening and note-taking skills. Debate requires that you become a careful listener and good note taker. This helps students get better grades and learn faster.
Many of this nation's top lawyers, business executives, doctors, engineers, and elected leaders were involved in high school debate, and for good reason. Simply put, debate-related skills help one get ahead and stay there. The power to persuade is highly respected and there is no better way to master this art than through debate.
After a recent debate competition, at least for 2011, it would appear that Hattiesburg High School, Oak Grove High School and Pascagoula High School have the most well-prepared students in Mississippi. And this was not an event just for public institutions. Even highly-regarded academic schools like St. Andrew's and Jackson Prep were a part of the tournament.
So, cheers to the Hattiesburgs, Oak Groves and Pascagoulas of the world, who are offering a well-rounded education to their student population.

--Edward R. Murrow
It's an age-old question and one for which I've finally been afforded the opportunity to develop a personal viewpoint. I've had cause to offer my perspective on the debate twice in the past two days (once solicited, once not) and now I feel called to share my views with you. It's controversial, I know, but since I'm feeling particularly devoid of descriptive boundaries this week and emboldened by the civic discourse of the two conversations I've just had on the matter, I'm going to declare a public stance and debunk a dangerous myth.
Lean in, listen carefully, and be enlightened:
Diapering baby boys is not easier than diapering baby girls.
The fallacy lies in the folds. The argument as I've always heard it and accepted it was that girls have, ahem, further depths that must be plumbed. With boys, diapering is much more a WYSIWYG landscape.
Once you learn your daughter's anatomy, you know where you'll need to work. Nothing changes and there are no surprises. It's like knowing your own backyard.
The boy anatomy, though, will evade familiarity. Except for his birthmark, there is no constant. It's like the dunes of the Sahara. It changes by the second.
There are two parts to the boy landscape: first, what his bigger sister refers to as his peanuts. (P-e-n-i-s.) The peanuts is unpredictable. Sometimes it's up. Sometimes it's down. Sometimes it lolls around. But it's not even the real problem. Think a little lower. Think, how shall I say this, walnuts. The walnuts can hide all sorts of hidden treasure. But the treasure can find new crevices with each diaper change because these crevices are transient. They come and go with the breezes and the whims of the peanuts.
And girls don't have any apparati like walnuts that need to be lifted up and checked under for any secret stash. With the boy, you have to wipe around and around - it's like twirling a swizzle stick.
Gently, of course.
Maybe it's like anything else that by design everyone forgets: the pain of delivering a baby, the difficulty of extended sleep deprivation associated with caring for a newborn. Maybe they forgot just what diapering a boy is like -- but I was deceived. Because it isn't easier at all. But now you, dear Internet, don't have to harbor these delusions any longer, and I can comfort myself with the knowledge that my difficult journey to enlightenment was not in vain.
I am capable of thinking about other things. To cleanse your mental palate, go read The True Story of Hickory Dickory Dock at Simple Kids or about a tragic household loss at DC Metro Moms. But do come back here tomorrow, because you never know just how long I can go on writing about body parts.

Here it is, if your not from here dont **** with locals. It's there territory, they have been here there whole lives, they know the waves and everything like that. Just don't open your mouth and we wont have all of this.
Yea im from baltimore but ive surfed OC for 12 years now. Id say i know the waves pretty well too. I also share the same annoyed feelings toward disrespectful tourists so to suggest that i owe the locals something because i lived a little further away is ridiculous. Im respectful and i want respect in return.
are u kidding me... hahaha. K coast Represent, hahaha... losers. U live in maryland guys. Thats funny that u have a gang of punk surfers that all surf and are punks together, it sounds like a really lame movie. Like the outsiders on surf. Really though, every time i have surfed ocean city everyone there has been HORRIBLE!!!!! even the kids i could tell thought were hot **** were just really bad, there is for real like an aura of horrible surfers coming out of OC though, and everytime someone comes up for surf there, the returning talk is always about how crazy it is that less than 100 miles from VB, there is another surf town, and the level of surfing there is about 4 years behind. So ya, thats an outsiders opinion of OC, so go take out your anger on a closeout section, and then you will finally be puttin some power in those hits
Havent you heard of Vince and joey boulanger
From my perspective, I have seen the talent in Ocean City increase over the last several years.
There aren't as well many known surfer's from Delmarva as compared to some of our neighboring states, but this may change in time.

The Youtube user tsimfuckis who can be caught frequently defending his ghetto lifestyle and posting his covers of well known rap songs online. There is also some controversy regarding a potential penis on his stomach. Shortly after his videos were discovered, his Youtube account was closed. The only explanation for this revealed so far is that he has committed suicide. However this came from /b/ and can therefore be disregarded.

Just tried out the most recent code, and I'm running into a little corruption, most reproducably in the KDE game KNetwalk when you rotate a tile.
Speaking of stencil buffers, are there any news on this bug:
Other than that, Doom3 works perfectly on r600c. It's surprisingly effective even without dynamic shadows, but you do need them for the full experience, though.
Just tried out the most recent code, and I'm running into a little corruption, most reproducably in the KDE game KNetwalk when you rotate a tile.
difficult to say what you're running into without a screenshot.
The kernel-patch from this bug solves some corruption issues. It hasn't been merges as of .36-rc4, so you'll need to apply it manually.
Ah, Christian (and Alex!), you're a lifesaver. The corruption was annoying in itself, but what I've not seen mentioned is that when corruption was occurring, crashes were proportionately more likely - usually bringing down X for me. Now, both corruption and crashes seem to be gone!
Excellent stuff, thanks a lot.
So is the classic driver looking to be merged into mainline Mesa before the 7.9 window closes?
As far as I know the merge window is already closed and the 5xxx driver is already merged.
Huh. Any idea how long ago that was? I CBFed figuring out of to build my own drivers so I've been taking advantage of the xorg-edgers repo, under the assumption that their Mesa 7.9-devel packages are up-to-date. I figured the new code hadn't been merged, since I'm still stuck with software rendering (and that insufferable aubergine stripe down the left side of my screen, that's been there since the initial modesetting support).
AFAIK it went straight into master the day the code was liberated by AMD. But you'll need a ddx from evergreen branch to allow for both 2D and 3D acceleration. And if you don't want any lockups and corruption you'll also need the just released kernel 2.6.36-rc5 at minimum.
Ahh, sod that, then. Thanks for clearing that up.
Great, I see the broken mipmap thing is now fixed.

This Celcon tee fitting is made of acetal copolymer and has tube connectors. This tee fitting is T-shaped and has three openings to connect and branch three pipes, two on the main run and one branch at a 90-degree angle from the middle of the tee. Pipe dimensions for tees are represented as A x B x C. "A" and "B" indicate the main run on the fitting, and "C" indicates the branch. It is a push-to-connect fitting that accepts the insertion of nylon, soft nylon and polyurethane tube fittings. The fitting is made of acetal copolymer plastic, which has low moisture absorption, high tensile and flexural strength, and is hard and fatigue resistant. The working pressure for this fitting is up to 150 pounds per square inch (psi), and it uses imperial unit measurements for industry consistency and interchangeability.
Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. Push-to-connect compression fittings do not require tools or sealants, and are useful in installations where a heat source, such as a soldering torch, is prohibited. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Martin Danielsen and his mom Elin Eskildsen enjoyed watching the NC State football team beat Boston College on their trip to the USA.
When the NHL cancelled games for the month of November, it wasn't just Carolina Hurricanes fans in Raleigh and North Carolina who were disappointed. Across the Atlantic, many miles away in Copenhagen, Denmark, Martin Danielsen was saddened. The 28 year-old Special Olympics athlete had planned a trip to the United States for the sole purpose to cheer on his beloved Hurricanes at three straight games during Thanksgiving week. Martin and his mom Elin Eskildsen made the trip anyway. They had already booked their airline tickets and made plans to visit friends in Benson and Cary. This trip would be Martin's fifth to the United States. He first came as a swimmer in 1999 for the Special Olympics World Summer Games held in Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. He took home two gold and two silver medals from the Games. But he also took home a lasting love for North Carolina especially the sports team in this state.

I've got a mainboard with 690G/SB600. With all the drivers from ATI following is not working:
- XV (tvtime does not start).
- When I start xawtv the screen turns black. Changing to console and back to X "resolves" this issue.
- AIGLX is turned on (Xorg.0.log), but compiz doesn't recognize the GLEXT_texture_from_pixmap.
Does anybody know if XV and maybe compiz will work in the next (7.12?) release?
Especially missing XV is a crap.

An award-winning product with a super-effective formula that works in three minutes and won't yellow like some enzyme-based cleaners.An award-winning product with a super-effective formula that works in three minutes and won't yellow like some enzyme-based cleaners. Dog Fancy editors rated GET SERiOUS! "Best Product of the Year 2004" based on the product being the most innovative and easy for pet owners to use. GET SERiOUS! was also awarded "Best Product for the New Millennium" from Dog World magazine in January 2000. And, GET SERiOUS! was the second product ever endorsed by the ASPCA when they first started their "Seal of Approval" endorsement program.
GET SERiOUS! contains a revolutionary formula that "bubbles up" stains and odors and brings them to the surface where they can be easily blotted away with a towel. It can be heated in the microwave to remove tough, ground-in stains. The product also removes old stains and discoloration left by other cleaners. Morethan a neutralizer, GET SERiOUS! actually removes the pheromone in the odors so pets won't re-mark area. GET SERiOUS! is non-toxic, non-flammable and safe to use around children and pets. May also be added to laundry loads or used as a pre-wash agent for tough stains and odors.
- Quickly removes stains, odors & pheromones
- Takes less than 3 minutes!
- Never yellows
- Warms in your microwave
- Pets won't re-mark
- Works faster than enzymes
1. Squirt on in a "Z-z-Z-z" pattern across the area. Do not
soak. Too much wetness could prevent the cleaner from effectively
lifting the problem to the surface.
2. No waiting is involved so IMMEDIATELY work it in using a
soft brush for 20 seconds to create the bubbling action. Be sure
that the bubbles completely cover the problem area so that they can
loosen and lift any stain, odor or pheromone from the area.
3. IMMEDIATELY blot witha thick, dry terry towel, pressing
and holding for 5 seconds. Lift & repeat for 2 full minutes
always being sure to move to a dry part of the towel.
Because GET SERiOUS! is so effective and works immediately, it is important that each step be done right after the other. Letting the product sit will actually lessen the desired results.

Nice Nikon Branded Bag Written By David H, Dundee, IL on Tuesday, September 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Decent bag. Lightweight, configurable. I wanted it to be Nikon branded to match the camera. The DVDs were a nice add on, but haven't watched them fully yet. I am new to the SLR world so I thought it would be nice to have them.
Well made but the DVD is not needed Written By Matt, Columbus, Ohio on Monday, February 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The bag is nice and well made. Nice that they used metal rather than plastic clasps. I expect it will last for many years. The DVD though is too generic across all NIKON lines so it provides little assistance in using the camera we bought. In fact, the DVD pre-dates the production of the D5300 so it is more of a general knowledge DVD than of any value for the camera.
Nikon Digital SLR Starter Kit with Bag & Instructional DVDs Written By NANDO, Mount Vernon, NY on Wednesday, December 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent, spacious bag for camera and essentials. Very durable and excellent quality material. Fits my Nikon SLR camera, 1 standard, and 1 zoom lens in bag. Pros: spacious bag, with extra outside pockets. Can fit 1 camera and 2 lenses easily, with plenty of room for other items. Bonus DVDs. Cons: None
Nikon Digital SLR Starter Kit with Bag & Instructional DVDs Written By Anonymous, New Orleans, LA on Tuesday, June 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great bag, very sterdy, heavy steel clips, thick matieral.. There is nothing cheap about this product, it's worth every penny!! Pros: this is everything you are looking for in a camera bag
not worth the money Written By Mackdaddy, USA on Wednesday, January 02, 2013 got this as part of a kit and its not worth the price. The bad is a 15-20 dollar bag and the dvd's are very basic and nothing you can not find on the web for free as far as learning basic techniques. Pros: bag is nice but not worth more than 20 bucks Cons: just way overpriced for what you get.
Camera bag Written By JJ, Atlanta, GA on Wednesday, December 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very nice camera bag...somewhat smaller than I was thinking when I ordered it, but...nice bag! Pros: Nice padded bag with easy storage space for camera/lens + my zoom lens. Mesh storage inside cover for scan disk. Cons: Only big enough for my camera w/ lens plus one other lens...I was thinking it would store at least two others.
Nikon 5100 DSLR Starter Kit Written By Nikon DSLR Starter Kit, Weymouth, Mass. on Sunday, December 09, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love the Camera and the Starter Videos. I have not had a new camera in about 20 yrs. so things have changed a lot. It will be a challenge to remember everything this does, so practice makes perfect. I wish that I could get the 55-300mm Zoom Lens with a $150 savings even though I could not afford to buy it at the same time on one order. That would make my Kit complete. Pros: Love the Camere so far, it's awesome. Cons: N/A
Starter Kit Written By Ray, Hawaii on Saturday, August 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The kit has a camera bag to hold all the necessary accessories and camera. Pros: The DVD is all that I needed. It shows enough to get started without having to read the manual. Cons: None
Nice package deal Written By John H, Birmingham, AL on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I reviewed my D5100 separately. But, the starter kit and DVD were a great deal. I bought the D5100 for some specific features, and while I do not "need" the HD recording and some of the on-camera special effects the DVD showed them clearly and based on this I bet I'll use them now. Nothing beats live (video or in-person) training to show you things you did not know you needed to know (yeah, I read up on what I think I want...). The bag is a great starter bag, and should last me a long time. It's great quality, has enough pockets, the dividers are secured by Velcro so you can configure as you need. With the kit lens (18-55) attached, there is still room for 1 or 2 other lenses (depending on size of course), and a battery, strap, etc. Pros: DVD: Easy to use, sections are not overly long but show how to use the features. Bag: Perfect size for most as a starter. Quality seems to be great, and enough flexibility with inside dividers for most people. Cons: DVD: None that I can think of. I personally prefer a YouTube video so the $$ in manufacturing the DVD may instead be used in keeping the content current, but that's a minor gripe. I'll watch the DVD once and probably not again. But the content is great. Bag: well, it does not have a built-in rain fly like a Lowepro, but it's not $150 either! I stick a few large ziplocks in the bottom of the front pocket for emergencies. I really can't think of any cons with this package.
Nikon Digital SLR Starter Kit with Bag & Instructional DVDs Written By BruceC, Mass on Friday, July 01, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The camera bag is really good quality and just the right size. The Nikon School DVD is a great introduction to the new camera. Saved hours reading through the manual.
Well-Built, Solid Value Written By RichR, Huntingtown, MD on Sunday, May 15, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Well buit, solidly constructed bag with features and fit ideal for protecting your your D3000/5000/7000 series camera. Enough extra room to safely transport my 18-200mm lens in addition to a comparably sized lens attached to the camera body. Pockets logically designed and positioned to keep my accessories well organized and easily accessible. DVD provided a more in- depth tutorial of my Nikon 3100 that was found within my camera software, and is great for beginning through intermediate photography enthusiasts.

RGIII hopes to pick Brady's brain during workouts
"That's amazing. ... He said this is only my third year and ... I have a lot of football left in me. That's good coming from a guy like him. Hopefully I get a chance to sit down with him if he's not too busy. We'll both be watching a lot of film getting ready for (today's) practice."
But not Redskins nose tackle Barry Cofield, who won a Super Bowl with the New York Giants in 2006."We reference last year all the time," Cofield said. "Believe it or not, we did some positive things last year, even defensively. You know, we had some good snaps, especially towards the end of the season. You know, we actually played some really good football at times."
