In light of Norman Finkelstein's effort to peddle his vituperative book by taking out advertisements in The Nation [see page 17] calling me a liar, I have asked The Nation to print the letter I sent to Finkelstein prior to the publication of his attack on me, pointing out the numerous errors in his work. I'll let fair-minded readers decide which of us is the liar. Shame on Verso for descending to such a level of venomous and blatantly false sensationalism just to make a buck. I only hope The Nation is charging premium rates for the ads. Finally, to be called a liar by Norman Finkelstein is like being called a traitor by Osama bin Laden. It means you must be doing something right.
--Burt Neuborne
New York City
Since you were courteous enough to provide me with a prepublication copy of your proposed text labeling me, among other things, a hypocrite, a coward, a falsifier of documents and a shakedown artist and calling for my disbarment, I will provide you the reciprocal courtesy of a serious response, without the venom. Before dealing specifically with your material, though, I want to correct an apparent misapprehension about my relationship with what you call "the Holocaust industry." I have never met Edgar Bronfman or any member of his staff. I did not attend the dinner that opens your chapter. I have never represented the Claims Conference. Indeed, before this litigation, I had never even heard of it. For most of my career, I have been at odds with many Jewish organizations because, as an ACLU lawyer, I represented Nazis--and everyone else--in free speech cases.
In fact I was drawn into the Swiss banks case by a specific request from Chief Judge Korman, who, because of my academic reputation and my earlier work in his court challenging unconstitutional restrictions on access to the ballot, asked me to organize the plaintiffs' Executive Committee and to serve as co-counsel for all plaintiffs. My career has been as a civil rights/civil liberties lawyer and an academic. I spent eleven years on the full-time legal staff of the ACLU, eventually serving as ACLU National Legal Director during the Reagan years. Thus, while I have no quarrel with your right to criticize my work and my judgment, I do object to your inaccurate effort to cast me as a participant in some larger conspiracy. I am simply an experienced constitutional lawyer who was asked by a respected federal judge to take on a difficult case. Once I accepted Judge Korman's invitation to work on the Swiss bank litigation for deeply personal reasons, I fulfilled my duties as a lawyer to the best of my ability.
Your claim that I played a major role in developing the legal theories underlying the Swiss bank cases is true. My June 16, 1997, memorandum of law, together with the four amended complaints I filed on July 30, 1997, set out the legal arguments against Swiss banks. Your characterization of the legal theories as a "shakedown" is, however, completely false. The contract, bailment and constructive trust legal theories underlying the demand for the return of Holocaust-era bank accounts are conventional and universally acknowledged. The international law theories underlying the demand for the disgorgement of unjust enrichment obtained by Swiss banks through knowingly dealing in Nazi plunder and knowingly financing slave labor camps, while more controversial, fall comfortably within precedents in this circuit upholding international law claims against foreign defendants. If you took the time to read my June, 16, 1997, memorandum of law, you would see that the legal theories are very carefully developed. The best test of the validity of my theories is that the banks elected to pay $1.25 billion rather than face them in court.
Your accusation that "hypocrisy and cowardice" explain my failure to have sued the United States for its appalling immigration policy during World War II is ridiculous. If you had done a minimum of research, you would know that I have repeatedly sued the United States in far more challenging circumstances. I was the lawyer who sued the United States several times between 1968 and 1973, arguing that the Vietnam War was illegal. I was the lawyer who sued the United States on behalf of Morton Sobell when the parole board attempted to muzzle him after his release from federal prison. I was one of Daniel Ellsberg's lawyers arguing that the United States lacked power to enjoin publication of the Pentagon Papers. I represented The Progressive magazine when the United States sought to block publication of H-bomb designs. I was counsel in the first wave of flag desecration cases, arguing that the First Amendment protects symbolic use of the flag. I represented homeless plaintiffs in the Supreme Court when they sought to erect a tent city in Lafayette Park across from the White House. I represented the Socialist Labor Party when the authorities blocked its presidential candidate from the ballot. I challenged the effort to prevent Americans from traveling to Cuba. As National Legal Director of the ACLU during the Reagan years, I repeatedly challenged efforts by the United States to cut back on constitutional rights, including efforts to muzzle Palestinian speakers, and efforts to foreclose on family farmers. This year, in Velazquez, I successfully represented federally funded lawyers for the poor in the Supreme Court against the United States when Congress attempted to limit their ability to argue effectively in welfare cases.
The real reason that no suit was brought against the United States challenging its appalling World War II immigration record was not my "hypocrisy and cowardice" but the doctrine of sovereign immunity. Under well-settled law, you simply cannot sue the United States for damages arising out of an immigration decision, even an appalling one. For your information, we never sued Switzerland for its refugee policy because sovereign immunity would have blocked the action. The Swiss asked that refugees be allowed to participate in the settlement, and we agreed.
You seem to imply that it was dishonest of me to have criticized the Volcker audit in my June 16, 1997, memorandum of law while later praising the results of the audit in my subsequent submissions to the Court defending the Swiss bank settlement. But your incomplete description of my June 16, 1997, memorandum badly distorts my position.
The criticism of the Volcker committee audit contained in my June 16, 1997, memorandum was in response to a formal motion by counsel for the Swiss bank defendants seeking to dismiss the Swiss bank litigation as unnecessary because the Volcker audit could be trusted to deal with the problem of Holocaust-era bank deposits without the need for judicial involvement. I argued then--and would repeat the argument now--that a private, nonjudicial audit financed by a defendant can never be a complete substitute for judicial involvement in a difficult case. I noted in the portion of the memorandum you choose to ignore that the lawsuit and the audit should complement each other, and that by working together the two efforts could ultimately achieve a measure of justice for Holocaust victims. I was right. The Volcker audit was enormously valuable in providing the information needed to administer a credible claims program designed to return as many accounts as possible to their true owners. The lawsuit was crucial in pressing the banks to cooperate with the auditors, to provide necessary information to claimants, such as the publication of information concerning 21,000 accounts identified by the Volcker report as "probably" belonging to Holocaust victims, and to establish a credible claims process designed to return accounts to their true owners.
As you know, Chief Judge Korman noted that the Volcker audit validated the core allegations underlying the Swiss bank litigation. You conveniently omit the fact that once the banks' effort to use the audit as an excuse for dismissing the lawsuit failed, extremely close cooperation between the Volcker audit and the lawsuit was achieved. Indeed, Paul Volcker was ultimately appointed by Chief Judge Korman as an officer of the court to supervise the CRT claims process in Zurich designed to return as many Swiss bank accounts as possible to their true owners.
Finally, I note that you have correctly abandoned your untenable claim that Swiss banks did not engage in massive destruction of Holocaust-era bank records.
Your charge that I "flagrantly falsify key documents in published correspondence" is a lie--and you know it. Our exchange of letters in The Nation [Dec. 18 and 25, 2000] makes it clear that I was referring to the figures used by the German foundation "Remembrance, Responsibility and Future" in estimating Holocaust survivors. I was responding to your claim that I had overstated the number of surviving Holocaust victims. You challenged my assertion that more than 1 million Holocaust survivors would be benefited by a combination of the Swiss and German funds. I responded by stating that you must be using figures for Jewish survivors but overlooking the large number of non-Jews who suffered in the Holocaust. In making that statement, I was relying on the findings of the German foundation that more than 1 million surviving Nazi slave and forced laborers exist, about three-quarters of whom are non-Jewish. You conveniently ignore the German foundation in your chapter, perhaps because it doesn't support your obsession.
I will leave to Judah Gribetz the pleasure of demolishing your effort to mischaracterize his remarkable work as a "shakedown" of Holocaust victims. You misstate virtually everything about the allocation plan. In fact, the allocation plan is rigorously designed to distribute Swiss bank settlement funds to individual Holocaust victims, not organizations. In fact, all appeals affecting the ability to distribute are now over, and distribution is about to begin. In fact, the Second Circuit explicitly upheld the limitation of the Swiss settlement fund to targets of the Nuremberg race laws but not to persons who were persecuted on political or national origin grounds because the settlement fund is far too small to cover everyone in Europe. And that's just a few of your mistakes.
I have no illusions that you will alter your chapter to bring it closer to the truth. You appear to be so obsessed with waging your private political war against militant Zionism and the Jewish establishment that you simply cannot see anything except corruption and bad faith. No person or institution is free from actions that would justify criticism. But your stridency and rage prevents your work from playing any constructive role. Rather, you just become fodder for someone else's political obsessions.
We, the undersigned, support legislation to prohibit the cloning of human embryos for either medical experimentation or for giving birth to a human being.
In the next few weeks the Senate will hold hearings and vote on legislation that would outlaw the cloning of human embryos, either for the purpose of medical experimentation or the birth of a human being. The House already passed a similar bill in July. Until now the cloning debate has been viewed in Washington and the media as a classic struggle pitting social conservatives, antiabortion activists and the Catholic Church against the scientific community and progressive forces, with Republicans lined up on one side and Democrats on the other. Below the surface, however, another reality is beginning to take shape. Although reluctant to acknowledge it, some social conservatives and some left activists find common ground on the cloning issue [see Ralph Brave, "Governing the Genome," December 10, 2001]. An example of this convergence is a statement issued by sixty-seven prominent left progressives on January 23 supporting legislation to outlaw the cloning of human embryos.
The progressives backing this legislation worry that the market for human eggs that would be created by such research will provide unethical incentives for women to undergo health-threatening hormone treatment and surgery. They are also concerned about the increasing bioindustrialization of life by the scientific community and life science companies and are shocked that clonal human embryos have been patented and declared to be human inventions. On the other hand, few, if any, on the left oppose research on adult stem cells, which can be taken from people after birth and which have proved promising in animal studies and clinical trials. This approach poses none of the ethical, social or economic risks of strategies using embryo stem cells.
What about cloning a human being? Most members of Congress on both sides of the aisle would oppose a clonal birth. But for many in Congress, and in the scientific community and the biotech industry as well, opposition is solely based on the fact that the cloning technique is still unsafe and could pose a risk of producing a malformed baby. Far fewer members of either party would be against cloning a human baby were the procedure to become safe and reliable. After all, argue proponents, if an infertile couple desires to pass on their genetic inheritance by producing clones of one or both partners, shouldn't they be able to exercise their right of choice in the newly emerging biotech marketplace? Moreover, we are told not to be overly concerned, because even though the clone will have the exact same genetic makeup as the original, it will develop differently because its social and environmental context will be different from that of the donor.
What unites social conservatives and progressives on cloning issues is their commitment to the intrinsic value of life and their opposition to what they perceive to be a purely utilitarian perspective on biotech issues. To be sure, the social conservatives and left activists differ in the "life issues" they embrace and champion. The former crusade for what they regard as the rights of the unborn and family values and rail against infanticide, euthanasia and pornography. The latter speak out on behalf of the poor, women, abused children, fellow animals and the global environment. Both groups come together in opposition to cloning--but for different reasons.
Many on the left argue that with cloning the new progeny become the ultimate shopping experience--designed in advance, produced to specification and purchased in the biological marketplace. Cloning is, first and foremost, an act of production, not creation. Using the new biotechnologies, a living being is produced with the same degree of engineering as we have come to expect on an assembly line. For the first time in the history of our species, we can dictate, in advance, the final genetic constitution of the offspring. The child is no longer a unique creation--one of a kind--but rather an engineered reproduction.
The left also warns that cloning opens the way to a commercial eugenics civilization. Already life science companies have leaped ahead of the political game being played out in Congress and the media by patenting human embryos and stem cells, giving them upfront ownership and control of a new form of reproductive commerce, with frightening implications for the future of society. Many on the left worry that human cloning, embryonic stem cell research and, soon, designer babies, lay the groundwork for a new form of biocolonialism, in which global life science companies become the ultimate arbiters of the evolutionary process itself.
Neither the social conservatives nor the left activists are entirely comfortable with the new alliance, and they will continue to disagree in many areas. But on biotech issues both of these groups will increasingly break ranks with their traditional political affiliations--the social conservatives with market libertarians and the left activists with social democratic parties.
The biotech era will bring with it a very different constellation of political visions and social forces just as the industrial era did. The current debate over cloning human embryos and stem cell research is already loosening the old alliances and categories. It is just the beginning of the new biopolitics.
It was not without warning that Congress voted to end welfare-as-we-knew-it in 1996, but still, it seemed to catch the progressive community off-guard.
Now we get to see just how cowardly the Democrats in Congress can be.

The death on January 23 of the French philosopher and sociologist Pierre Bourdieu came as the American chattering classes were busy checking the math in Richard Posner's Public Intellectuals: A Study of Decline--an unintentional parody of sociology in which Posner presents a top-100 list ranking writers and professors according to the number of times they turned up on television or Internet searches. Bourdieu, whose heaviest passages crackled with sardonic wit, would have had a wonderful time exploring this farcical project, which takes for granted that Henry Kissinger (No. 1), Sidney Blumenthal (No.7) and Ann Coulter (No. 74) are in the Rolodex because they are leading the life of the mind--why not include Dr. Ruth or, as one wag suggested, Osama bin Laden? In tacitly conceding the fungibility of celebrity even while decrying it, Posner confirms Bourdieu's gloomy predictions about the direction modernity is swiftly taking us: away from scholarship and high culture as sources of social prestige and toward journalism and entertainment.
Bourdieu himself argued that scholars and writers could and should bring their specialized knowledge to bear responsibly and seriously on social and political issues, something he suspected couldn't be done on a talk show. His involvement during the 1990s in campaigns for railway workers, undocumented immigrants and the unemployed, and most recently against neoliberalism and globalization, was the natural outgrowth of a lifetime of research into economic, social and cultural class domination among peoples as disparate as Algerian peasants and French professors, and as expressed in everything from amateur photography to posture. It's hard to think of a comparable figure on the American left. Noam Chomsky's academic work has no connection with his political activities, and it's been decades since his byline appeared in The New York Review of Books or the New York Times. One friend found himself reaching all the way back to C. Wright Mills.
Bourdieu, who loved intellectual combat, called himself "to the left of the left"--that is, to the left of the ossified French left-wing parties and also to the left of the academic postmodernists aka antifoundationalists, about whose indifference to empirical work he was scathing. Reading him could be a disturbing experience, because the explanatory sweep of his key concept of habitus--the formation and expression of self around an internalized and usually accurate sense of social destiny--tends to make ameliorative projects seem rather silly. Sociology, he wrote, "discovers necessity, social constraints, where we would like to see choice and free will. The habitus is that unchosen principle of so many choices that drives our humanists to such despair." Take, for example, his attack on the notion that making high culture readily available--in free museums and local performances--is all that is necessary to bring it to the masses. (In today's America, this fond hope marks you as a raving Bolshevik, but in France it was the pet conviction of de Gaulle's minister of culture, André Malraux.) In fact, as Bourdieu painstakingly demonstrated in Distinction, his monumental study of the way class shapes cultural preferences or "taste," there is nothing automatic or natural about the ability to "appreciate"--curious word--a Rothko or even a Van Gogh: You have to know a lot about painting, you have to feel comfortable in museums and you have to have what Bourdieu saw as the educated bourgeois orientation, which rests on leisure, money and unselfconscious social privilege and expresses itself as the enjoyment of the speculative, the distanced, the nonuseful. Typically, though, Bourdieu used this discouraging insight to call for more, not less, effort to make culture genuinely accessible to all: Schools could help give working-class kids the cultural capital--another key Bourdieusian concept--that middle-class kids get from their families. One could extend that insight to the American context and argue that depriving working-class kids of the "frills"--art, music, trips--in the name of "the basics" is not just stingy or philistine, it's a way of maintaining class privilege.
Although Bourdieu has been criticized as too deterministic--a few years ago The New Yorker characterized his views, absurdly, as leading "inexorably to Leninism"--he retained, in the face of a great deal of contrary evidence, including much gathered by himself, a faith in people's capacities for transformation. He spent much of his life studying the part played by the French education system in reifying class and gender divisions and in selecting and shaping the academic, technocratic and political elite--the "state nobility"--that runs France, but he believed in education; he railed against the popularization and vulgarization of difficult ideas, but he believed in popular movements and took part in several. In one of his last books, Masculine Domination, he comes close to arguing that male chauvinism is a cultural universal that structures all society and all thought; he is that rare man who chastises feminists for not going far enough--but the book closes with a paean to love.
Bourdieu's twenty-five books and countless articles represent probably the most brilliant and fruitful renovation and application of Marxian concepts in our era. Nonetheless, he is less influential on the American academic left than the (to my mind, not to mention his!) obscurantist and, at bottom, conservative French deconstructionists and antifoundationalists. Perhaps it is not irrelevant that Bourdieu made academia and intellectuals a major subject of withering critique: You can't read him and believe, for example, that professors (or "public intellectuals," or writers, or artists) stand outside the class system in some sort of unmediated relation to society and truth. The ground most difficult to see is always the patch one is standing on, and the position of the intellectuals, the class that thinks it is free-floating, is the most mystified of all. It was not the least of Bourdieu's achievements that he offered his colleagues the means of self-awareness, and it's not surprising either that many decline the offer. His odd and original metaphor of the task of sociology holds both a message and a warning: "Enlightenment is on the side of those who turn their spotlight on our blinkers."
In a few weeks, East Timor will be able to celebrate both its independence as a country and its status as a democracy. Elections will have produced a government able to seek and receive international recognition. An undetermined number of Timorese, herded by the Indonesian Army into the western part of the island during the last spasms of cruelty before Jakarta formally abandoned its claim to the territory, will not be able to celebrate. And the entire process is gruesomely overshadowed by the murder of at least a quarter of a million Timorese during the illegal Indonesian occupation.

My mother warned me about the disappearance of Elena.

whose body stained her memory until she left in the thick

2011 Annual Appeal
The Haverford Township Free Library's 2011 Annual Appeal is underway and, to put it plainly, we need your support. At your request, HTFL reinstated 6 hours of library public service this year-now open on Friday and Saturday from 10am to 5pm, but not without a cost. Of the approximately $40,000 needed to make this happen, the Commissioners voted to give us $20,000 towards the cost for staff and utilities. The other half needs the help from you, our loyal supporters.
As you are probably aware, State and County funding was reduced by an additional 11% for 2011, and with additional staff needs to serve you better, we are looking at a deficit in our budget for this year. But you can assist us in our cause-to bring you better library materials, resources, programs and the staff to handle it all.
Please give to the 2011 Annual Appeal by your donation. You can send a check payable to HTFL Annual Appeal, or make an online donation through our website .
Thank you, as always for your support!

This was one of the important points that came up in a lecture on Saturday by Prof. The Lord Bhattacharyya of Moseley, Director, Warwick Manufacturing Group, University of Warwick, UK.
The lecture was organised here by the Confederation of Indian Industry. The Indian-born British peer, and an alumnus of IIT, Kharagpur, said that every year about 5,000 Chinese managers were being trained at Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG). In addition, about 17,000 managers are assisted by WMG in China. In contrast, less than 200 Indian managers are trained there.
China is building the capability for `Made in China' to dominate the world. India has the ability but has not been able to capitalise on it, Lord Bhattacharyya said. (However, a beginning seems to have been made. Bharat Forge has asked that 1,500 of its people be trained in WMG.)
Pointing out that the world had seen 25 months of consecutive growth in manufacturing, Lord Bhattacharyya said that although most of the growth was happening in Asia, India's name did not even figure in the list of countries leading the growth.
Calling for capability building, he said Indian companies needed to develop their own products and praised Tata Motors for its homegrown product, the Indica.
He said that in the modern world, "technology is portable" and "there is no such thing as intellectual property". He said proprietary technology was becoming difficult because regulators the world over were beginning to say, "we want to know what was the thinking that went behind the design of this product."
Earlier, welcoming Lord Bhattacharyya, the President of CII, Mr R. Seshasayee, stressed that Indian companies needed to innovate, not just depend upon labour arbitrage. Mr Seshasayee pointed out some fundamental differences between the way India has been growing and the way other Asian countries grew.
He said that while the rest of Asia went into labour-intensive manufacturing, India went into services. While many Asian countries' growth was investment-led, India's was consumption-led. These countries grew from low-technology to hi-tech, but India jumped to hi-tech.

In the backdrop of death row convict in Pakistan Sarabjit Singh claiming there was a threat to his life, India on Friday said its High Commission in Islamabad stood at the ready should he require any assistance.
India had consistently urged Pakistan on several occasions to take a sympathetic and a humanitarian view of Sarabjit's case, the spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs said. Minister S.M. Krishna had assured Sarabjit's family that he would raise the issue when he mets his counterpart, the spokesperson noted.
"Singh has been in custody for well over two decades. With that background, let me say that what you mentioned in terms of the news reports, we have also seen them. Our High Commission in Islamabad stands ready to assist his lawyer should he require it. But at this stage my understanding is that the lawyer himself has requested the Pakistani authorities," the spokesperson said.

Dealing with Motion Sickness when you travel for the Holidays
There are plenty of things you can do on your own to help prevent the effects of motion sickness from occurring. Many adults find they don't suffer from motion sickness if they drive the car. This is because the sensors in their brain view the scenery flashing by differently when they are in the driver's seat. This is why so many get sick when they travel by train. If you are susceptible to motion sickness as a passenger in a car avoid a window seat on a train. You also want to avoid those seats that face backwards.

Memories Of Alaska
The Far North is one of the most popular vacation destinations for pilots
Flying the more typical coastal route beneath the clouds, I've seen everything from PC-12s and Caravans to TBM 700s and Cheyennes flying low to stay out of the ice. Airframe/wing icing is a universal threat in Alaska, and everyone respects it—or should.
Once, 10 years ago, when I was flying a Comanche down from Anchorage to Victor Aviation in Palo Alto, Calif., for an engine change, the clouds pushed me down to about 800 feet above the Pacific abeam Yakutat. Ceilings were running 1,000 to 1,500 feet, but visibility was never much below 10 miles. I passed above a Twin Otter going the opposite direction at 500 feet, followed almost immediately by a Cessna 180 on floats. I spotted another four airplanes flying beneath the clouds on the way to my fuel stop in Sitka. Heavy traffic, and all below 1,000 feet AGL—or more accurately, AWL, above water level.
For much of the year, the Alaska Highway enjoys notably better weather, not to mention more alternates, though the route can be quite a bit longer. The terrain is flat and relatively unchallenging flying north as far as Dawson Creek. Then, the road begins to wind up through the Canadian Rockies toward Whitehorse, Yukon, and on to Northway, Alaska.
You can encounter some unusual problems on that route, too. Five years ago, I accompanied a dentist from Indiana on the Alaska Highway route, and we became stalled in Whitehorse because of forest fires. Northway and Fairbanks were reporting ceilings and visibilities well below minimums as a result of smoke from huge fires that had been burning for several weeks. After three days of coordinating with fire officials and checking weather conditions, the prognosis was poor for any quick improvement. The owner finally sent me home on the airlines, rented a car and drove on to Anchorage.
People do buy airplanes in winter, and on another flight, this time a delivery, the late-fall weather in British Columbia was crystalline following several days of snow. I departed Dawson Creek in a restored Cessna 185, planning to stop for fuel at a small dirt strip a few hundred miles northwest. The GPS led me by the spinner to the airport, but when I arrived at the appropriate coordinates, there was no runway in sight.
After checking the chart and determining that all the landmarks were in proper alignment, I circled the location and finally located what had to be the runway, now totally covered by snow. I made a low pass and guesstimated the snow wasn't that deep, made another orbit and carefully dropped in to five inches of cold, dry powder. There was a temporary whiteout as I settled onto the ground, but things cleared quickly, and I taxied slowly to the primitive fuel station, a large barrel on top of a wooden stand. The operator was all smiles, as he hadn't seen any traffic for days and wasn't expecting anything on wheels at that time of year.
Flying to Alaska in summer is perhaps the most rewarding vacation adventure for pilots from the southern 48. It's not that difficult, but alternates can be scarce and weather can turn on you in 10 minutes. Be sure to allow extra time for the unexpected.

Ravens' Super Bowl win sets likely ratings record
Baltimore had the highest rating of any individual city, Nielsen said. San Francisco was not among the top 10 cities in ratings.
CBS drew criticism from the Parents Television Council for not editing out a profanity said by Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco shortly after the game. Flacco was caught by microphones describing his team's victory as "f------ awesome."
"No one should be surprised that a jubilant quarterback might use profane language while celebrating a career-defining win, but that is precisely the reason why CBS should have taken some precautions," said Tim Winter, president of the lobbying group, asking for the Federal Communications Commission to rebuke CBS.
The network had no immediate comment Monday on the complaint.
CBS has said that it was airing the pregame, postgame and halftime portions of the show on tape delay to guard against the use of bad language or wardrobe malfunctions. The postgame delay does not begin until the first block of commercials after the game, which hadn't happened before Flacco's expletive.

Thank Goodness, IE6 is dead. I thought. The shitty, blind, deaf, dumb but remarkably and unpredictably creative browser that measurably lowered all webdesigners' productivity and cost millions of hours of stupid error fixing.
Take a look at http://www.ie6countdown.com/ – still, more than 7% use it! OK, most of them in China and supposedly "opened source", but still …
Recently, I got a support request to fix some IE6 issues. But I think: If YouTube and most major sites have stopped supporting IE6 , why should I?
So: Do you still test and support compatibility of your items with IE6 ?
I'm working for a client who's sites generates millions of visitors per month. We/my client are even considering of dropping support of IE7 . Supporting IE6 is a big waste of time.
Live's mch netter now
revaxarts said
Noooooooooooo! Live's mch netter now
Yeah, a deadder IE6 makes better wetter
I have to check spelling before I hit the submit button on my IPad!
I don't even support IE7 . Take the job to fix those IE6 issues and charge $200/hour just for the stress IE6 support is a caprice which only rich people should afford
Windows XP and Vista are now both automatically upgrading. So there's only two explanations for people still using IE6 /7. One, the user has Windows Update turned off for some reason. Two, pirated Windows.

Wideman hit in face with a high stick
|02.21.09 at 7:23 pm ET
SUNRISE, Fl. — Bruins blueliner Dennis Wideman took a high stick to the face at the 13:05 mark of the first period and has retired to the B's dressing to have his injury attended to. The errant stick cut Wideman open and there were visible droplets of blood on the ice, and a double minor penalty for high-sticking was assessed to Panthers center Michael Frolik.
UPDATE:Without missing a beat, the gutty Wideman returned to the ice and was manning one of the points on the power play for the B's following a stoppage in play. That, friends, is a hockey player.
The Bruins and Panthers are locked in a 0-0 tie midway through the first period at the BankAtlantic Center.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAAY) - The company that held the life insurance policy for murder victim Alonzo McGhee is taking his ex-wife to court in an effort to determine whether she should receive the payment from his policy.
According to federal court documents, Primerica Life Insurance Co. is asking the court to determine whether Fillis McGhee or Alonzo McGhee's estate should receive the $432,000 payment.
McGhee was shot Jan. 4 while in his car in front of his home on Pale Dawn Place. He and his wife had just finalized their divorce a week before, and he had been given custody of the family's three children.
In its court filing, Primerica claimed it did not have enough information to determine whether Fillis McGhee would be eligible to receive the money. The company's lawsuit stated she has not been ruled out as a suspect in Alonzo McGhee's murder, and if she were found responsible for his death, she would not be eligible to receive the proceeds from the policy.
Police are still investigating the murder and have not named any suspects. Fillis McGhee filed a claim for the life insurance 11 days after the murder.
Primerica's court filing stated the company has provided a check for the policy proceeds to the U.S. District Court clerk, and the company is asking Fillis McGhee and a representative from Alonzo McGhee's estate to provide arguments to the court as to why each has the right to the money. Primerica also is seeking money for fees and court costs.
Both Fillis McGhee and Alonzo McGhee's estates were served summons Thursday. They have 21 days to respond.
Calls to the administrator of McGhee's estate, Arnold Sneed, and attorneys for Primerica were not immediately returned.

A market research manager works in the field of marketing and advertising to collect data on consumer behavior and help brands and companies understand how to better appeal to customers. Modern businesses need this information to create better products, address problems and issues with existing products, and offer high quality and value to consumers, so it is essential for a market research manager to understand effective communication and to possess excellent interpersonal skills.Read More...
Market research managers usually spend their work days developing strategies to collect and interpret data from consumers, typically through online surveys, in-person focus groups, and other research methods. Once the information has been aggregated, the manager is responsible for implementing a plan of interpretation that provides helpful conclusions for the brand or company.
Market research managers should have a bachelor's degree in communication, marketing, or a similar field. They should also be comfortable with using computers to record, sort, and analyze collected data. Most managers begin their career working as part of market research staff and work their way up to a supervisory position. It is often preferred that individuals have considerable experience in market research prior to taking a management position. In most cases, market research staff work in an office environment, though sometimes research is carried out in the field (i.e., in a large public setting, such as a shopping mall or busy street).
Employees at Gfk Custom Research Inc. take home the smallest paychecks, and $60K is the median salary. Furthermore, range in pay is narrow, with salaries starting at $47K and quickly nearing the top at only $79K.
Survey results suggest that Market Research Managers put a wide range of professional skills to use. Most notably, skills in Strategic Marketing, People Management, SPSS, and Market Research are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 6 percent and 19 percent. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Microsoft Excel and Project Management. Most people familiar with Market Research also know Research Analysis and Data Analysis.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Market Research Managers generally obtain higher compensation for more plentiful past experience. Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience have a median salary of $66K. Those who have been around for five to 10 years can expect to take home more — $78K on average. Market Research Managers who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $95K. Individuals who have achieved more than 20 years of experience don't seem to earn much more than people who have 10 to 20 years under their belts; the more senior group reports an average income of $105K.
For those looking to make money, Market Research Managers in Hartford enjoy an exceptional pay rate, 30 percent above the national average. Market Research Managers can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like San Francisco (+19 percent), Boston (+13 percent), Chicago (+7 percent), and Seattle (+7 percent). Market Research Managers in San Diego report much lower salaries than the rest of the country — 30 percent below the national average — proving that residence is a major factor in overall pay. Below-median salaries also turn up in St. Louis and Los Angeles (20 percent lower and 16 percent lower, respectively).

Although newly re-moldeled Woody's apparently is looking to only cater to a certain crowd I was refused service on 26OCT2011 . I arrived for happy hour directly from job as a manager at a major pharmaceutical company, walked up to the bar, waited to order and the bar tenders refused to take my order! I am still deeply disturbed over this and apalled that in 2011 an African American can still be refused service.... Read More

KEIZER, Ore.-- Residents of Keizer said Friday that they saw few, if any, warnings signs that two teens accused of the murdering a woman and wounding a man would have been capable of a violent act.
Michelle Yvonne Pearson, 44, was found dead and her husband, 57-year old Wilfred Bill Pearson was found wounded inside their Keiser home at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday evening.
Michelle Pearson died of a gunshot wound to the neck and chest.
Brett Angus Pearson, Michelle and Bill s son, and Robert Daniel Miller II, both 17, were arrested later that evening and charged with the crime.
The Pearson family released a statement Friday saying We are shocked and heartbroken by the tradic events of March March 5...Michelle was the heart of our family and we ask for privacy as we grieve this loss.
More: Keizer teen, friend accused in killing of mother, wounding father
Police told KGW Friday that they believe Pearson and Miller had been planning the attack for some time. But there were no indicators the teens were capable of such violence, according to friends and neighbors.
Just six hours before Michelle and Bill Pearson were found, Brett posted a chilling Facebook update announcing that Life's about to change in a number of ways. The comment was 'liked' by Robert Miller.
The posting appeared on what looked to be a joint account shared with Pearson and his girlfriend Perla Torres. The post now appears on Torres' page. Police said Friday that they intended to question the girl.
In an age when people increasingly share every experience and emotion on social media, those who commit high profile crimes often confess or hint at their actions on platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

Still most who knew the teens and the Pearson family saw no signs that a tragedy was about to unfold.
Cody Ratliff said he was best friends with Pearson and Miller and he reacted with disbelief to the news. He said he saw police cars race toward the Pearson house Wednesday night but did not suspect what had occurred.
Ratliff said he did not see the Facebook post Wednesday night but it would not have raised concerns.
Bill and Michelle Pearson pictured right
Not a clue, Ratliff said. I would have asked him what it meant. But he was a very positive person. He would post how things were going to change for the better.
Disbelief was also how the family's priest, Father Gary Zerr of St. Edward Catholic Church, characterized his parishes reaction to the incident.
I've known them for 10 years, just really nice people, family friend Theresa Whisenhunt told KGW Thursday. Really great family. I don't know what would have brought this on.
Both teens had struggled at school.
The two attended McNary High School in Kaizer but left before graduation. Pearson was continuing his education at a downtown learning center and Miller left high school in January. The school district would not confirm why either teen left McNary, but friends said Pearson was expelled two years ago after getting into a fight.
Ratliff said Pearson had been caught up in drugs for some time but believed he was clean as of late. But sought to dispel rumors that either teen was involved with meth or gangs.
He wants the two to know that he still cares about them.
Don't believe it was all them, Ratliff said. If they were on any drugs then I blame that, not them. They weren't in their right minds. If they did do it, it was drugs, it was not them. It's not their nature whatsoever.

All of the T-series, 2000-5000 were considered very powerful; but we have to consider what they were compared to...conventional wood, horrible extruded aluminum, other 'chromed' steel sticks like the Tensor and Garcia X-15(an actual rocket, I reckon
There was a rumor that Wilson stiffened ONE tube in some T2000s to beef up the racket a bit. The throat bridges helped make the 3,4,5000s a little more resistant to twisting, but they were still very springy.
As mentioned, hitting flat and dead center makes this a formidable weapon; but if you hit(as I did) 2-3 mains off-center with spin, the T-series would feel like it was going to wrap around your elbow.
The main 'power-boost' was apparent at lower swing speeds, thus the attraction to those who didn't supply their own raw power. Put a 3000 in the hands of a wood racket 'pusher' and suddenly they are blasting the ball(comparatively speaking). Don't forget how aerodynamic these frames are compared to wood. They weren't all that light, but would cut through the air like butta
. They would also cut through the knees and shins of folks trying to serve with a western grip while facing square to the net...LOTS of torn up lower legs back then!

Chapter 1: The Maneater Bites Back
It's Labor Day. A gorgeous, warm Labor Day at that. There are a ton of people outside on the streets or on the Boston Common to celebrate. But I'm not outside. Forget that crap; I'm not an outdoors person. I'm pale as hell and probably allergic to sunshine. So to celebrate the last summer holiday my way, Dahsan and I are chilling out in my studio apartment, watching TV and drinking the not-so-fresh beer that was left over in my fridge from before summer break. Ah, there's nothing like drinking a cold Sam Adams Boston Lager in Boston, even if it's not my first beer of choice. But it's still a fairly decent way to kill time.
"Well," Dahsan snorts, leaning his head back to swallow the last of his beer, "this was a pretty crappy Labor Day, huh, Elle. If it weren't for Sammy here, it would've been a total waste."
"Yeah, tell me about it." I'm pretty depressed at the thought of starting the new academic year tomorrow, even if it is my last one. "Dude, I am so not looking forward to tomorrow morning. I've gotta take that stupid lab safety-and-protocols seminar first thing in the morning. I don't know how I'm gonna get through it." My stomach churns at the thought of attending yet another one of those Welcome-to-the-Clinic lectures. I've already had the distinct displeasure of attending two of them. If I can't get the information right after all this time, well, I'd better just slit my wrists now and get it over with.
"Well, I've got four hours of oral pathology." He smirks as he raises an eyebrow at me. "Wanna trade?"
I punch him in the arm in reply. "Dude, I already put in my time with that class. You're on your own."
I missed Dahsan so much during my summer break. I haven't seen him in two months, which feels like forever, considering how long a week in dental school can run. The first-year dental students have an eight-week summer break instead of four weeks like the rest of us, which means that while I was still slaving it out in the clinic, that little punk Dahsan was boarding a flight to go home to San Diego. He told me that he really lived it up while he was home, hitting up the bars and hitting on girls, drinking heavily, hanging out with David (read: using David as his wingman) and discussing my endless dates with him. Apparently, they both came to the same conclusion: that I should just give up dating and marry David. I fell off the loveseat in hysterical peals of laughter when Dahsan told me that one. I mean, I do love David and all. Maybe if I'm not married by the time I hit my 34th birthday, I'll do it. Hell, there are worse things in life than marrying someone you love.
So here we are, each of us beginning a new year in dental school. He has one year down, I have one year to go. And I'm pretty sure that in both our cases, it's going to be a crappy year. Let's face it, no matter what year it is, dental school sucks.
"You know, Dahsan, this is my last year living in Boston." With a little bit of wistfulness, I swallow another mouthful of Sam Adams. This can't be good for my waistline. Three bottles of Bud Light is one thing, but three bottles of Sam Adams is quite another. I think I've consumed my entire dinner's worth of calories with these beers. Damn it.
"Yeah, I know. How do you feel about that?" He looks over at me, but this time he's not being a smart-ass. He's being honest.
"I'm not sure yet," I answer honestly. "It'll be the greatest thing, the greatest feeling in the world to finally be done with dental school, but I don't know how I feel about permanently relocating to CT."
It will be incredible when I'm finally done with school, I've become a dentist and can get on with the rest of my life, I know that much. No questions there. Unfortunately, being out of school will also mean moving out of my apartment in Boston and leaving behind friends I consider family, as well as places that qualify as my home away from home, like Beantown Pub or even Rock Bottom. I have mixed emotions about the concept.
One thing's for sure, though. I'm going to grab Boston by the balls and make the most of my time left. I'm going to work hard, play hard, and date harder. The Maneater is going to bite back. I sure hope Boston and its boys are ready for me.

Graham and Green
The Graham and Green spring collection is now on their website and I sat here this morning looking through so many images of things that I would love to own! I also admire their styling as many online shops exist out there but those that make an effort to present their merchandise well are the shops that catch my eye the most. I think shopping for home items online is enhanced when you can view things in-situ, don't you? Here are some pieces that I imagine would look beautiful in most of our homes. Do you spot any instant favorites? See anything that you can imagine owning and if so, where would you put it?
In the above photographs I find the bursts of color very refreshing and modern, don't you?I also love seeing black with all of the white, that never grows old does it?

I love the bright and bold colours against white. My husband and I just bought our first house and luckily for us the previous owners have almost every room painted white, a beautifully clean slate for us to add colour to! I particularly love the pantone mugs, I've got to get some of those!

No. 100: Schindler's List
Steven Spielberg's astoundingly stupid Holocaust melodrama
1993, dir. Steven Spielberg. It would take a doctoral dissertation to elaborate on just how much is wrong with Steven Spielberg's astoundingly stupid Holocaust melodrama, and, certainly, many dissertations have been written on the director's films. Still, a highlight reel is in order: the baffling scene with the showers that turn out to be nothing more than showers; the soppy final scene in which actors and real-life survivors march together; the excessive use of Christian iconography; and the fact that the movie, really, is about a Christ-like gentile who saves a horde of hapless Jews who have no agency or resolve of their own. This makes Schindler's List not just one of the most ham-handed Holocaust films ever made but also, peculiarly, one of the least Jewish in sensibility. And yet, for all of its wretched awfulness, we couldn't help but include the film in our list; its massive visibility helped educate wide swaths of the population previously only dimly aware of the subject. It also drove Spielberg to invest his considerable resources in an infinitely more valuable kind of Holocaust-related filmmaking, namely the collection of videotaped testimonies by survivors, a singularly important historical enterprise. If the cost of these terrific resources is three hours of kitsch, death, and Liam Neeson, so be it.
