Papers, Guns and Databases
Friday, March 20, 2009
Should gun ownership be a private matter? After a Memphis newspaper put a searchable database on its website of all people licensed to carry a hand gun in Tennessee, the NRA went ballistic. The paper's editor Chris Peck says the database is a legal, not to mention profitable, part of its online operation.

The "Commercial Appeal" Data Center web page is pretty fascinating - it includes public records, felony convictions, health inspections, census data and so on and so forth. They've done an excellent job of making a wide range of information available and accessible.
Matt W. - What a strange comparison. How does protecting a source, which serves to encourage people that otherwise would fear retribution to come forward, possible equate to having a CC permit? Can't wait to hear this one.
I say, publish or perish!
Concealed Carry permits should be just as public as media sources protected under a shield law.
One can certainly disagree with how they went about addressing this issue, as Mr. Caxton has quite ably pointed out. But to say "Who told the newspaper that it was their responsibility to ensure that those with CC permits are 'responsible' gun owners?" is bizarre. One of the most basic tenets of being a newspaper in this country is supposed to be to inform the public and bring to light situations that are potentially dangerous and/or detrimental to society, and felons being issued CC permits certainly qualifies. Like Mr. Caxton, I think they should have exposed that only, printing the names of the supposed offenders IF they were convinced after careful research they had the story right, and it wasn't something stupid like identical names or even names and addresses, as in the case of a father and a Jr.
P Wheeler - your premise makes no sense to me. Of course the media in general, and newspapers in particular, have always (in this country) been seen as having hte responsibility to be a watchdog for the public regarding our government. One of those watchdog functions is to make sure they are simply not incompetent. Addressing the topic of who ensures that those with CC permits are "responsible" you say: "That responsibility belongs to the individual. The State uses its delegated authority to set standards for CC permits. If the individual meets those standards, they are then responsible in the eyes of the State." That presumes that the state never makes mistakes, that there is no corruption, etc. In what civics class did you learn that we just take it for granted that the government knows what they are doing?
(Part 3)
Later, Mr Peck said, "We really hadn't done a lot of reporting using the database until this all blew up, and what we discovered was there were more than 600 people in the state of Tennessee who had felony convictions or other violent criminal acts who had a permit. And the point we wanted to make was that's the reason the records need to be open, is that people who are carrying, have permits to carry, need to be responsible gun owners, and we agree with the NRA on that point. And that really is the crux of the issue."
Again the reasoning is curious. Tennessee state law prohibits issuing concealed-carry permits to anyone who has had a felony conviction or is under an order of protection.[2] It seems that the Commercial Appeal has found that the concealed-carry database is wrong, or whatever they're using to find felony convictions is wrong, or concealed-carry permits
have been issued erroneously. It's also possible that felons are illegally in possession of firearms. I am not a professional journalist, but I can imagine at least two reasonable responses to this discovery: bring the evidence to the attention of law-enforcement organizations, or write a newspaper article or editorial pointing out the problems. For some unspecified reason, Mr Peck instead chose to make a database (which may be flawed) available to the public, apparently in hope that random individuals would somehow also find the flaws and voluntarily do something about the problem -- something Mr Peck seems to be unwilling or unable to do. This is baffling, yet On the Media never questioned it.
The database clearly wouldn't have helped in the specific instance mentioned, of two drivers who got into an altercation. Someone out driving wouldn't have an opportunity to check the database and wouldn't know the name of the other driver in order to search for it.

(Part 2)
Assumption 3 is also questionable. Granted, guns can be dangerous. On the other hand, they're by no means the only or greatest danger to children. Here are the leading causes of death (not injuries) among US children 14 and under, in calendar year 2005[1]:
Motor Vehicle Traffic 1812
Drowning ............. 766
Fire/burn ............ 475
Firearm .............. 298
Suffocation .......... 282
Suicide .............. 270
Poisoning ............ 99
Fall ................. 66
Given the danger from drowning, should newspapers provide databases of people with swimming pools? Some parents may not want their children to have access to prescription drugs, like Viagra, Valium, and Oxycontin. Should we have databases of prescriptions? What about pornography? Databases of everyone who has a subscription to Playboy, or who has rented or bought pornographic movies? Would these be less useful or less appropriate than a database of concealed-carry permit holders?
[1] http://webappa.cdc.gov/cgi-bin/broker.exe
(Part 1)
Some of Mr Peck's claims are not supported by evidence or reason. For example, he says being able to check whether a particular person has a concealed-carry permit is useful to the public because "They might have a kid who was thinking about going overnight for a sleep-over, and a parent might say, 'Gee, I wonder if there's a gun in the house?'" One problem with this reasoning is that the database can be searched not only for a specific name, but will return responses to general queries, such as all concealed-carry permit holders in Memphis -- which would be unnecessary to satisfy Mr Peck's hypothetical.
The hypothetical situation also seems to assume that (1) everyone who has "a gun in the house" has a concealed-carry permit; (2) that everyone who has a concealed-carry permit has a gun in the house; and (3) that knowing whether someone has a gun in the house is both useful and appropriate information. None of these assumptions is well-supported.
Assumption 1 is clearly flawed: There must be millions of people in Tennessee who own guns for hunting, self-defense, or sport but don't carry concealed weapons in public and therefore don't need and don't have concealed-carry permits. Worse, there are people who are legally prohibited from possessing firearms but who have them anyway. Thus, a list of concealed-carry permit holders is a poor proxy for firearms in the home. In any case, using a database for this purpose seems roundabout: if people are concerned about firearms, is there some reason
they can't just ask? "I don't want my children around guns. Do you have any guns in your house?" Has American society become so insular that people feel compelled to go to such lengths just to avoid communicating with each other?

On the Media
I would like to send some money to the newspaper spokesperson to offset the campaign carried on by the NRA about the gunholders license list in Tennesee
He sounds very sincere. However there are several problems and inconsistencies. First, Who told the newspaper that it was their responsibility to ensure that those with CC permits are 'responsible' gun owners?
That responsibility belongs to the individual. The State uses its delegated authority to set standards for CC permits. If the individual meets those standards, they are then responsible in the eyes of the State. Secondly, the canard of 'pro 1st amendment' and 'balance of access of these records and accountability in government' is disturbing. Note the media's different standards in covering the privacy rights of Joe the plummer and Obama's Aunt. What would be the Media's response to a Republican Presidential Candidate who refused to produce the public record of his birth certificate? How would they balance the tension between 'access to those records' and 'accountability in government?' How does the public's right to know about the qualifications of a public servant stack up against the public's right to know about a private citizen? In my opinion, file this under 'soft-sell propaganda.
Moderating comments and not allowing any critical commentary about the subject, and from a publicly funded institution, how nice of you all.

'Along for the Bride,' a boring one at that
TLC series makes it clear the bridal genre has run its course
November 20, 2012
On a bride's special day, she has the right to see to it that she or those closest to her can be ridiculed and held in contempt by total strangers. A long list of wedding-based reality shows helps make that possible.
The latest such show is TLC's "Along for the Bride," which focuses on clueless, aggressive or self-absorbed bridesmaids and the chaos and unpleasantness they can cause. One of those reality shows that apparently encourage people to be on their worst behavior, it fails, despite its artificial feel, to make us sufficiently identify with or laugh at its subjects.
Premiering this Thursday, Nov. 22, at 10 p.m., "Along for the Bride" is clearly intended to be a reality version of the raucous 2011 comedy "Bridesmaids." In the first episode, a soft-spoken young woman named Aki, from Marina del Rey, Calif., can't handle the diverse women who make up her wedding party.
Aki can't count on her maid of honor, her best friend, Kelley, who is identified with an onscreen graphic that says "The Flake of Honor." Luckily for Aki — and for the producers — Aki has met an extraordinarily disciplined woman named Jakeisha, identified onscreen as "The Bionic Bridesmaid." Jakeisha steps up and handles the maid-of-honor duties that Kelley has been shirking.
The three other bridesmaids are Amy, Aki's tattooed future sister-in-law, identified as "The Farmer-in-Law Bridesmaid"; Christie, a friend of Aki's from church who says she didn't think that she and Aki were that close, identified as "The Righteous Bridesmaid"; and a Lindsay, a friend from work who gazes blankly throughout the episode, identified as "The Oblivious Bridesmaid."
While Aki is a rather bland center of attention, the others stick to their assigned personas. Kelley, who was unreachable for three days after a DUI arrest, fails to plan the bachelorette party, then shows up late for it. She misses the rehearsal dinner entirely.
Amy, who is clearly meant to fill the Melissa McCarthy role, talks about how she used to sell sex toys for a living. When the women head out for the bachelor party, they all dutifully act the way women on reality TV act when they go out together, doing shots, screaming "Whoo!" and flirting with random men. Later, one bridesmaid kisses another one on the mouth.
Aki has no visible emotional connection with any of her bridesmaids. The episode is supposed to build suspense over whether Aki will choose Jakeisha to replace Kelley as maid of honor, but neither they nor Aki seems to care.
The series' second episode, although it feels less faked, lacks even this mild suspense. Airing on Thursday at 10:30, it's best appreciated as a mini-documentary about the death of shame in America.
Michelle, a single mother from Huntington Beach, Calif., is planning to get married for the first time to her childhood sweetheart, Sal. Her grown daughter, Amanda, whom Michelle had at age 19, is too emotionally overwhelmed to be an effective maid of honor because she's just given birth to her own daughter. Neither father is mentioned in the episode.
One of the bridesmaids is Michelle's cousin Lora, who spent some time in prison because she made "bad choices." Most of her sound bites involve weak jokes about her criminal past. When the bridesmaids go to a sex shop and see a pair of handcuffs, Lora says that she wishes her handcuffs had come with a key.
For her part, Michelle says that Sal would be excited by one sex toy, completely grossing out Amanda.
Another bridesmaid is getting married in a week. Like Amanda, she's emotional because she's pregnant.
Once again, someone — in this case Lora — has to take over from the maid of honor and plan the bachelor party. (Amanda invites a friend who looks like a Snooki impersonator.) And once again, a bridesmaid is late for the party.
The fact that the second episode is already repeating plot points from the premiere suggests that if there ever were potential for comedy or drama in wedding documentaries, it's been used up. "Along for the Bride" might have been fun 10 years ago. Now it's a bad choice.

Miei post in italiano sul team-blog del Supporto Tecnico agli Sviluppatori
SDK Test Certificates expired last December 31 and the Product Group provided a new set of Test Certificates (and accordingly to mainly this MSDN Forum thread many ISVs had found alternatives in the meantime). The aim of this post if to provide an addendum to that notification, specifically related to the following sentence: "[…] If you're a tester, you can follow these instructions to create a provisioning file for a device, so that you don't need Visual Studio to push certificates onto test platforms.". In other words, the certificates you can download from here don't contain a Certs.XML and a Certs.CAB files, contrarily to a standard installation of Windows Mobile 6 SDKs. I have simply created them by using the known technique and made them available through this post (click here to download the zip), hoping they may help "testers" saving time in case "developers" use the new certs. Note that they can also cohexist with expired certificates on a test device\emulator.
Cheers, ~raffaele
I often receive questions related to how to open Service Requests at Microsoft Customer Care & Technical Support, the last of which was in this MSDN Forum thread regarding the NETCF v3.5's FIX about the WebBrowser control (which I've discussed about here). So I'd say it could be a good investment to describe in detail how you can ask to be contacted by a Support Professional: I've already done it once some time ago (wow, that was nearly 2 years ago!), but the following is a kind of updated process..
Well, above all: are you using Visual Studio 2008 and need support? As a starting point, apart from MSDN Forums, have you ever clicked on Visual Studio's menu Help\Technical Support?
That leads to a documentation page containing details and .doc files relevant to Developers\IT Professionals\Value Add Partners, Resellers, Consultants\Microsoft Certified Partners\OEMs. The same page contains (800)-* phone numbers to open a Service Request in the US:
And to know international phone numbers you can use to open Service Requests at Microsoft Customer Care & Technical Support over the phone, you can start from the International Support page.
However, opening the Service Request over the phone is not the only option: you can do it also online. For example, let's assume you have a copy of Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition and you need help regarding a Smart Device application, which falls precisely under my area of specialty... Well, you can start from the Visual Studio 2008 Solution Center, which also contains useful info to address the issue on your own, and apart from that contains a link to:
That links to the same page as Assisted Support Options, which lets you begin a step-by-step procedure to gather details of your eligibility of support, along with details about the product and the problem. Here it comes.. remember that developers programming Smart Device application don't ask for support about the products "Windows Mobile" or "Windows CE": they're asking for support about the product "Visual Studio"!
1- Quick product finder:
2- Select a product:
3- Select a support topic:
4- Provide product ID:
Note the words "NO-CHARGE SUPPORT": they're what I meant "what you've already paid" in my post get what you paid for!! The Product ID for Developer Tools can be retrived by:
Or you can let Microsoft locate the Product ID by allowing the control to run through Internet Explorer.
5- At this point, if you have an "ACCESS ID" related to a Technical Support contract (MSDN Subscription, Partner, Premier, Professional 5-Pack, etc), here it's the right time to use it. If you don't have it, then you can click on "Skip this" button and reach a page that would allow you to pay to open a so-called "Pay Per Incident".
6- Eventually you'll reach a page containing fields you can fill in order to describe the issue, to set the severity and to submit the request.
Hope this will help ISVs out there on correctly opening Service Requests!
Cheers, ~raffaele

Zack's Kernel News
Zack's Kernel News
The Linux kernel mailing list comprises the core of Linux development activities. Traffic volumes are immense, often reaching ten thousand messages in a given week, and keeping up to date with the entire scope of development is a virtually impossible task for one person. One of the few brave souls to take on this task is Zack Brown.
Our regular monthly column keeps you abreast of the latest discussions and decisions, selected and summarized by Zack. Zack has been publishing a weekly online digest, the Kernel Traffic newsletter for over five years now. Even reading Kernel Traffic alone can be a time consuming task.
Linux Magazine now provides you with the quintessence of Linux Kernel activities, straight from the horse's mouth.
New Generic Initramfs Project
Jeremy Katz has announced the Dracut project, which is essentially an implementation of initramfs that could be adopted by all Linux distributions. When the kernel boots, it must first create a filesystem in RAM before it can mount the real filesystems and transition the running kernel to those. The specific way it does this is a strange and esoteric sequence of events, implemented by an initramfs tool. Each Linux distribution creates its own way to accomplish these various tasks, and each initramfs has a different set of special super-excellent features that allow things like interrupting the boot process to perform a particular action at a particular point in that process.
Jeremy sees no need for all the distributions to labor over maintaining their own initramfs infrastructure. His proposal is to take all the complexity out of the tool and make something totally generic that every distribution can use and contribute to. Any other special boot-time features could be done immediately after initramfs finished the essential task of transitioning to the root filesystem on the device.
One reason such a simplified initramfs would be especially useful, Jeremy says, is that it would bring a five-second boot time into the realm of possibility if a particular distribution wanted to skip all but the most absolutely essential steps. Current initramfs implementations have so much heavy baggage that a boot-up might have to go through several unnecessary steps on a given system just because other systems using the same initramfs do find those steps necessary.
As Christoph Hellwig pointed out, Hannes Reinecke is also working on reimplementing initramfs, but whereas Jeremy had been basing his work on Red Hat's implementation, Hannes had been working off of openSUSE. Christoph suggested the two of them pool their efforts. Hennes said he was all in favor of this, but he and Jeremy didn't discuss it on the list.
Neil Horman pointed out that a stripped-down version of initramfs would not necessarily solve all the major problems. He pointed out that some embedded systems never bothered to transition the kernel to any other root filesystem and, for stability reasons, spent the entire session in the initramfs. Any implementation of initramfs that didn't accommodate that and similar uses would leave out important groups of users, and Loïc Grenié agreed.
Theodore Ts'o also added, "Part of the discussion at the Kernel Summit, and also what David Jones was looking to work at, was to do something that could be included as part of the kernel sources. The idea is that as responsibility for early boot is moved from the kernel, an mkinitramfs which is fixed and distributed by the distribution might not work with a newer kernel.org kernel. So the idea that was explored was adding a common mkinitramfs with basic functionality into kernel sources, with the ability for distributions to add various 'value add' enhancements if they like. This way if the kernel wants to move more functionality (for example, in the area of resuming from hibernation) out of the kernel into initramfs, it can do so without breaking the ability of older distributions from being able to use kernel.org kernels."
New Patch Tracker
John Hawley announced http://patchwork.kernel.org/, a page that tracks patches sent to a given mailing list and presents them with a nice clean format. The idea is that maintainers of various parts of the kernel – or other projects – can then change the status of each patch to make it easier to track what's happening with development. So far, a number of kernel-related mailing lists are on the page, including ACPI, the build system, and the linux-kernel mailing list.
Git Doc For Beginners
David Howells has written a simple guide to git usage for beginners – essentially his own list of git recipes converted into written explanations. Although quite a bit of git documentation is available, David's work, titled The Git Hater's Guide To The Galaxy, might find a unique niche among certain users. The guide is intended for people who'd rather not use git, but who recognize that they do need to learn it well enough to do some basic tasks. Whether this doc will continue to exist as a standalone file in the kernel source tree or be parceled out amongst various other docs, giving to each whatever it has that they lack, remains unclear.

The most valuable testament of the Mudéjar style in Zaragoza
It was built to replace the old Romanesque shrine of San Blas. The church has a single nave with chapels between the buttresses and a five-sided sanctuary. The cathedral interior is covered with ogive and pointed barrel-vaulted ceilings. The side names were added in the 15th century and the chapels were opened in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. One of the highlights of this monument is its magnificent octagonal brick tower, both the exterior and interior). Other elements of note include the north facade in the Gothic style and the main altar piece in gilded and polychrome wood, the Renaissance sculptor Damián Forment in 1515 and featuring the image of Saint Paul. This is a prime example of the Mudejar architecture of Aragon, awarded the World Heritage Designation by the UNESCO.

This Christmastime could be the moment when Western Europe finally joins our war on terrorism. Anti-Islamist fear and anger from the mouths of the European volk are breaking through the surface calm perpetuated by the elite European appeasers. The assassination and mutilation of Dutch filmmaker van Gogh by an Islamic fanatic -- and the retaliatory fire-bombings of mosques by ethnic Dutchmen -- has forced high European leaders and news outlets to begin to publicly face up to the implications of Sept. 11, 2001 and the migration of Muslims in large and hostile numbers into the heart of Europe.
From Holland's leading newspaper, the Telegraaf, to Germany's liberal Berliner Zeitung and Der Spiegel (roughly, the European equivalents of the The New York Times, The Washington Post and Time magazine) has come the same heated prose that could be found in the United States in the aftermath of September 11. And here in the United States, even the liberal National Public Radio Network's (NPR) "All Things Considered" is beginning to seriously report European volkish fury the way they usually report breathlessly on the latest developments in Brazilian rainforest depletion.
Der Spiegel wrote: "The veil of multiculturalism has been lifted, revealing parallel societies where the law of the state does not apply." The Berliner Zeitung headlined their story: "Fear is spreading." In Holland, the very dignified Telegraaf wrote: " ... magazines and papers which include incitements should be suppressed, unsuitable mosques should be shut down and imams who encourage illegal acts should be thrown out of the country."
Earlier this week, NPR's "All Things Considered" reported on the findings of German television's ZDF TV after they had secretly placed a camera inside a German Islamic mosque. The Imam is heard saying (in translation): "Those Germans, those atheists, they don't shave their armpits. Their sweat spreads evil smells. They stink. They are atheists. What good do they do to us? And since they are unbelievers, in the afterlife, they can only burn in hell." Obviously, this did not go down well when the German public saw and heard such things.
Blankley, who had been suffering from stomach cancer, died Saturday night at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, his wife, Lynda Davis, said Sunday.
In his long career as a political operative and pundit, his most visible role was as a spokesman for and adviser to Gingrich from 1990 to 1997. Gingrich became House Speaker when Republicans took control of the U.S. House of Representatives following the 1994 midterm elections.

A few weeks ago IBM announced that it was transitioning its Symphony productivity suite development effort to Apache, to work on the OpenOffice project This news raised questions about what IBM's strategy was in the document space. I would like to set the record straight. Let me be perfectly clear — IBM is not stepping back from its investment in Symphony. We are donating our Symphony code to the Apache Software Foundation and directing our development effort to work directly on the combined code in the Apache OpenOffice community. We plan to continue to distribute OpenOffice technology, though likely not under the Symphony brand but instead under the name "Apache OpenOffice 4.0 IBM Edition", or something like that.

I have further been asked, by many of late, to explain what IBM's document strategy is and why it has chosen to engage with the Apache Software Foundation. To properly answer that question a discussion of the back story is in order.

OpenOffice has been the leading open, multi-platform, free document editor suite in the market for a decade. Many companies distribute it, including IBM (in a version called Symphony which adds a number of IBM enhancements). The project had been led and managed by Sun and then Oracle (by virtue of their purchase of Sun). A couple of years ago a number of community members decided to fork the code and created a derivative known as LibreOffice. A little bit later, Oracle decided to donate the OpenOffice code base and trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation and encouraged a community of interested parties to co-invest and work towards delivering new innovation and value to the market in an open community foundation. IBM and many other parties, new as well as longstanding OpenOffice community members, have been working on the Apache OpenOffce code for about eight months now.

LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice are very similar and share much of the same code. They are licensed under different licensing regimes. LibreOffice is licensed under a copyleft regime (LGPL) and Apache OpenOffice is licensed under a permissive licensing regime (Apache 2.0).

For some background on open source, licensing and open source business models I recommend taking a look at a paper I wrote a number of years ago:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/1303.html

So what is IBM's document strategy and why did it decide to work with the Apache OpenOffice project instead of the LibreOffice project?

We think that documents represent a very pragmatic way to capture, record and share information. They provide a powerful and flexible substrate for bringing ideas together, refining them and structuring them in a manner that efficiently communicates those ideas.

The world is awash in unstructured data. Much, if not most of it, is in the form of documents, and their number and importance in creating value will increase quite dramatically in the next number of years. Most IT storage specialists, including those managing cloud resources, are planning for unstructured data to bypass structured data in terms of storage , sometime this year. More than that, the value of those documents is being magnified dramatically as multi-user, co-editing tools become available, as they are enriched with semantic, linked data capabilities, as they understand more and more of the social business context in which they are created, evolve, and can potentially be used, and because of the emergence of advanced text analytics, pattern analytics, and social analytics which allow deeper insights to be garnered, activities to be better prioritized, and decisions to be more efficiently and better informed. All of these things represent significant value to our customers and...well... we are in the business of delivering value to our customers.

….So we care about documents.

Our interest in documents goes far beyond document composition and includes storage and content management, Big Data, various forms of insight-enhancing analytics, Deep Q&A (Watson for example), attention management, risk and trustworthiness, business intelligence, etc... and we are investing in all of them.

Of course, document composition is an important part of this value creation web, so it only makes sense that we invest in it as well. Document editing suites have long been an important fixture of the PC era, and will continue to be important for many years to come, although commoditization pressures will continue to reshape that market. Other significant document technologies have recently come to prominence, most notedly mobile editing, collaborative web editing and wiki's. Undoubtedly other new innovative models will emerge as well. Many of these new models address some of the shortcoming of the traditional document editing suite or leverage some new communication or social infrastructure, but they are also in many ways adjacent and complimentary to traditional document editing suites. That being said , document editing suites still offer very useful power features, functions, and experiences that are very useful for the document creation and editing cycle. IBM's view is that many tools will coexist and compliment each other and as a result we need to make investments in many parts of the document ecosystem and work to extend each of them towards each other of them and allow them to work together. That is where you will get serious value creation acceleration.

Along with IBM Connections social business suite, which has blogs and wiki's and such, and the content management and analytic technologies mentioned above, IBM is also making a large investment in a web-based collaborative editing tool called "IBM Docs" (you can try a pre release version at https://www.lotuslive.com/en/catalog/labs). This tool not only integrates with team content repositories seamlessly and allows for multiple people to co-edit a document simultaneously, but it also integrates with the Activities workflow engine to allow people to assign sections and reviews and to-dos, and of course complete those assignments, mark them as done, and track the progress in the Activity.

That brings us to desktop editing. Apache OpenOffice is an important piece of this ecosystem, and it needs to evolve and innovate to take its rightful place among leading document tools. Oracle's decision to donate the code and trademarks to Apache opened up a wonderful opportunity to assemble companies and individuals that have a vision for the future and to focus their energies and resources. Community development of one of the core pieces of the grander document landscape, a piece that is very mature and has been rapidly commoditizing, makes sense.

So why did IBM decide to invest its resources at Apache? Apache is an open community with a well-known brand with a mature and proven governance model. This reputation allows for the efficient recruitment of co-investors and gives confidence to customers of the technology, thereby lowering barriers to consumption. Along with its well-earned reputation, the fact that Apache is a large and diverse organization means that it comes with the obvious advantages of economies of scale. Apache also promotes a licensing regime that lends itself to innovation and participation of well-resourced organizations and has a higher comfort level with many corporate customers.

The question of licensing models is for some a key issue that merits examination. The LibreOffice community works with a copyleft regime. This is partly because, when that community forked the code from the OpenOffice project, it was the only licensing regime available to them, and partly because the core of that community comes from Linux vendors that are very comfortable with, and have had prior success with, copyleft licensing. This does not mean that they have failed with permissive licenses; it just means they have more experience, and a greater comfort level, with copyleft regimes.

Copyleft licenses rely on a viral mechanism to enforce disclosure of code modifications. Basically, if you are benefiting from the code, you contractually must disclosure any modifications or enhancements you make. By and large, there is a significant trend towards permissive licensing and away from copyleft licenses (see: http://blogs.the451group.com/opensource/2011/06/06/the-trend-towards-permissive-licensing/) . In what most people would think of as counter-intuitive, copyleft licences are more predominant amongst vendor-led open source projects. The reason for this is that some vendors choose to run a dual licensing business model where they put the code out under a restrictive copyleft license and ship a commercial license themselves. They usually combine the licensing regime with a contributor agreement. This means that the intellectual property is aggregated and owned by the sponsoring vendor. This provides the sponsoring vendor with the unique advantage of being able to distribute and package the code as they see fit under a commercial licensing regime. This is exactly the business model that Sun used with OpenOffice and, as I mentioned previously, the reason that the LibreOffice could only fork the code under a copyleft license.

A permissive licensing regime uses a different mechanism. In a permissive licensing based community, individuals and companies contribute significant value to a project because they sincerely believe that the project will be stronger for their contribution and that the marketplace, and by extension their own interests and any derived code, will be healthier because of the success of the project. Apache is but one of many communities that have demonstrated they can thrive with the driving motivation of the value of co-investment. As the term "permissive" suggests, there is more flexibility to re-package and extend the code from these projects without ceding intellectual property. This makes such projects more attractive to corporate vendors, and facilitates corporate investment of resources.

Both copyleft and permissive licensing based communities have demonstrated that they can harness community creatively and create value. With the opportunity that Oracle's donation of OpenOffice to Apache presents, IBM has decided to invest its resources there, and to actively encourage others to do the same. Furthermore, IBM has decided to contribute its Symphony code to the Apache OpenOffice project This is a very large donation, which includes an accessibility framework, bug fixes, performance enhancements, feature extensions and a significant UI enhancements.

The work at Apache is progressing. The community has been working on code and licensing hygiene. They have integrated many bug fixes and added some new and exciting function including some new SVG capabilities. The Apache OpenOffice 3.4 release will be posted shortly.

A draft of the AOO 3.4 release notes are in the wiki here:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+3.4+Release+Notes

Some more information on the graphics enhancements can be found in this blog post:

https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/features_for_graphicobjects_and_oleobjects

If you want to receive an email notification when Apache OpenOffice 3.4 is available you can sign up for the project's announcement list by sending an email to email@example.com.

Now that the absorption of the OpenOffice donation has been finalized, IBM can make the Symphony code donation. The resulting merge of all of this new capability should appear in a 4.0 release later this year.

We are very encouraged by the progress that LibreOffice is making. There are many areas where the two communities do and should work together. Security and support, document interoperability and standards compliance are obvious. A significant amount of new technology will become available from Apache OpenOffice in the near future, especially once the Symphony code gets integrated. We encourage the LibreOffice community to leverage as much of it as they want. Apache's permissive licence allows them extraordinary flexibility to do so. We would also love to see LibreOffice contributors share their work with Apache OpenOffice. While the interest of these two communities are not identical they are most definitely aligned and complimentary.

As we move towards a web of linked data, deep Q&A and analytic-driven insight, significant new value will be created. We are hopeful that a collective community effort in one of the core elements (document creation and editing) will help accelerate this.

We just mailed our February IBM Software Newsletter, featuring the top stories from Lotusphere 2012. And while products like IBM Connections 'Next' and Notes and Domino Social Edition grabbed the headlines, IBM Docs and Lotus Symphony are getting a LOT of attention from our readers.

IBM Docs (previously called LotusLive Symphony) is a cloud-based productivity suite, lets team members inside and outside the firewall collaborate on documents, spreadsheets and presentations – people can co-edit in real-time, assign sections of documents for one another to work on, etc. IBM Docs will be available later this year, but you can try the beta now if you have a LotusLive (soon to be IBM SmartCloud for Social Business) account, or as part of a LotusLive trial.

IBM just released Lotus Symphony 3.0.1, an upgrade to its no-charge, on-premises office productivity suite. The upgrade adds new features like support for a million spreadsheet rows, new chart types, and more bullet and numbering styles; it also repairs a few bugs.

At Lotusphere, IBM also announced future plans for Symphony that led to some misunderstanding and panic about IBM pulling out of the no-charge office suite arena, which it isn't. The actual story, nothing to panic about at all, is that:

Symphony 3.0.1 is the current release of IBM's no-charge office suite

An upcoming IBM edition of Apache OpenOffice 4.0 – which will contain the Symphony codebase, and which IBM will support in exactly the same way it supports Symphony now – will be the next release of IBM's no-charge office suite.

For more detail on this, check out Ed Brill's blog (and the video presentation therein).

Mastora Group
Mastora is a tailor. She has been interested in tailoring since she was a child. When she was young, she decided to work as a tailor. Now she has a good number of clients, so she wants to add to the number of her clients by purchasing a new sewing machine and the other required materials of tailoring.
Aziza and Monyra would like to have a loan to complete their business requirements. Rohalah is a taxi driver. He has worked as a driver for more than 10 years. He needs to buy a new machine for his taxi to work better and to increase his income.
They have requested a group loan of 40,000 Afghani. They all want to send many thanks to Kiva lenders.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

John Curley offers alternative for $15 minimum wageon July 30, 2013 @ 11:56 am (Updated: 1:12 pm - 7/30/13 )
The income gap in American society is increasing and four out of every five Americans are near poverty levels, according to a national study. And lately in Washington we've been trying to answer the question: What is a livable wage?
The newest outrage in Seattle is SeaTac workers shooting for a $15 an hour minimum wage. KIRO Radio Host Dori Monson is outraged on this issue, while John Curley and Andrew Walsh seem to hold different views.
John thinks people who want $15 an hour should move to North Dakota because there are so few people willing to work there, with many jobs available.
"If things are that bad, move," says John. On the other hand, Andrew doesn't find it very easy to just get in your car and leave town.
"Mobility is not something that people can just choose. People have obligations, they can't just leave," adds Andrew.

Works perfect for me,
I can get into sites that are normally blocked.
Is it possible to make Java and Flash work on proxies?
doesn't work, but a proxy extension especially for yt would be great...
It works sometimes, but mostly not.
Something is working but not proper at all. IP-Check shows problems. Also Youtube doesent work. But keep working on it!
As fare as i know, "Proxify It!" is the only Proxy-tool for Opera.
So thanks for the work
All work!
It does nothing regarding the real proxy setting - all it does is putting the proxy address in front of the address type in in order to visit. What is the point?
It works! For you people who don't get it to work: Look for the green P in upper right corner.
I've just used it to check my ip at www.whatismyip.com, and it came back with unknown ip adress and "No Proxy Detected" :)

We track four people on their journey.
The murky world of Cambodian news
19 Jul 2014 12:36 GMT | Environment, Europe, US & Canada, Azerbaijan, Croatia
Julian Popov is fellow of the European Climate Foundation, Chairman of the Buildings Performance Institute Europe, former Bulgaria's Minister of Environment and Water.
On the 70th anniversary of D Day, three US senators landed on European soil in a decisive move to stop the Russian energy import advance. Their publicised destination was a conference in Poland. The real battle senators John McCain, Ron Johnson and Christopher Murphy fought was further South. It took them a few hours, in a joint operation with the European Commission, to twist the arms of the Bulgarian government, which on 8th June announced that it was stopping the highly controversial South Stream gas pipeline. The next day Serbia, also said that it was halting the project. Once the senators flew back, the Serbian and the Bulgarian governments said that they had not exactly stopped the project. The story is dragging on and on.
On the 70th anniversary of D-Day, three US senators landed on European soil in a decisive move to stop the Russian energy import advance. Their publicised destination was a conference in Poland. The real battle senators John McCain, Ron Johnson and Christopher Murphy fought was further south.
It took them a few hours, in a joint operation with the European Commission, to twist the arm of the Bulgarian government, which on June 8, announced that it was stopping the highly controversial South Stream gas pipeline. The next day, Serbia also said that it was halting the project. Once the senators flew back, the Serbian and the Bulgarian governments said that they had not exactly stopped the project. The story is dragging on and on.
South Stream is expected to cross the Black Sea, bypassing Ukraine, to deliver up to 63 billion cubic metres of natural gas to Europe each year. The project has always been a thorn in the eye of all concerned about the high dependency of Europe on Russian energy imports. After Moscow's annexation of Crimea, the geopolitical anxiety turned into a determined effort to kill the project.
This opposition has good reasons. South Stream does not intend to comply with EU competition rules requiring access for third parties. The vastly overpriced contract for the project was not awarded in a transparent way, or in accordance with European rules for public procurement. Last but not least, a significant part of the construction's contract was offered to Gennady Timchenko, one of the cronies of Russian President Vladimir Putin who was blacklisted by the US government.
South Stream has many obvious flaws. One issue, however, has been left out of the debate. Does Europe really need this gas?
Alternatives to Russian gas
Gas consumption in Europe is declining. It might grow a bit in the future, but it might not. Eurogas, the association representing the interests of the European gas industry, says that European gas consumption in 2035 may increase by approximately 20 percent compared to the level of 2010. Or may decrease by approximately 10 percent. It depends on many factors and EU energy policies.
A recent study by Anglia Ruskin University suggested that the UK might run out of its own gas supply in three years, and Italy and France might run out of domestic gas reserves in about a year. But more gas might be coming to the European market.
The Ukrainian crisis will probably help unblock objections to shale gas exploration in Europe. It is highly unlikely that EU could repeat the US shale boom, but the United Kingdom, Ukraine, Poland and Romania are moving forward with ambitious shale gas exploration and extraction plans. Germany and other countries could follow. Once a single country in Europe starts extracting shale gas, it would be difficult to stop most of the others from doing so.
Conventional gas is already making headway. Israeli has decided to to export about 40 percent of its gas reserves or 410 billion cubic metres. Cyprus has proven reserves of around 140 billion cubic metres so far. These are not quantities that could alone replace Russian gas, but they could reduce Europe's dependency on Russia. And exploration continues. In April, Croatia announced a tender for gas and oil exploration in the Adriatic. Romania is drilling in the Black Sea and is hoping in the not so distant future to become a net gas exporter.
The Trans-Anatolian gas pipeline bringing Caspian gas from Azerbaijan to Europe via Turkey is expected to transport 16 billion cubic meters of gas in 2018 and reach a capacity of 60 billion cubic metres in 2026. Gas-rich Turkmenistan is increasing its gas production. Soon Iran might become Washington's best friend, which will open the world's second largest gas reserves for the European market. Italy could increase its imports from North Africa. Other countries are also looking into gas exploration in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.
Then there is liquefied natural gas (LNG). Europe uses only about a third of its 200 billion cubic metres LNG import capacity. The remaining two thirds, which almost equals the amount Europe is importing from Russia, is available and more is coming online with Poland, Greece, Italy and other countries building or planning to build LNG terminals. While at the moment liquefied gas is expensive and the European pipeline infrastructure is not optimised to take advantage of the full LNG import capacity, in the future that might change.
Finally, the ambitious energy efficiency and the renewable energy policies of the EU are starting to have a structural impact on Europe's energy mix. In the last year, the German energy giant RWE closed down or mothballed more than 6 percent of its gas and coal power generation capacity, quoting as a leading reason, the growth of renewables. E.ON has announced plans to close 13 gigawatts of thermal assets. Other energy companies are closing power generation capacity earlier than planned as well.
With near zero energy (nZEB) standards for all new buildings coming into force between 2018 and 2020 across the EU, gas demand could continue to decline. Denmark has already banned gas-fuelled central heating.
All this makes the vastly overpriced South Stream pipeline a bit like the huge Tsar Cannon and Tsar Bell, both kept in Moscow's Kremlin. The Tsar Cannon is famous for the fact that it has never fired a single shot, and Tsar Bell broke before it ever managed to ring. Russia might be keen to add to its collection a Tsar Pipeline as well, but why Europe should be involved in this adventure is not quite clear.
