Shopping for a new washer or dryer? You don't have to pay big bucks to get the reliability and performance you want.
I recently had to shop for a new clothes washer/dryer combo after ours croaked following years of loyal service. So I shopped at a scratch and dent appliance store.
Scratch and dent stores offer new appliances that have been sufficiently scuffed up during shipping to the point where they can't be sold in a traditional appliance store.
I had been pricing the same model I wanted at Costco and ultimately paid half the price at the scratch and dent. If you can beat Costco by that much, you know you have a real deal!
The October 2013 issue of Consumer Reports rates the best washers and dryers. Among their top picks were the LG WT1101CW, Samsung WA422PRHD[WR], and GE GTWN7450DWW -- all marked as 3 of the best buys for top-loading washers.
But top brand reliability goes to Roper, followed by closely by Kenmore and Maytag. Further down in reliability, it's Whirlpool, GE, and Fisher & Paykel when you're talking top-loading washers.
For front-loading washers, there were only 2 best buys: The Whirlpool Duet WFW70HEBW and the LG WM3070H[W]A.
When it comes to front-loading reliability, LG is tops, followed by Samsung, Kenmore, Whirlpool, Maytage, Frigidaire, and GE.
Interestingly, washers and dryers fail more than other common electronics purchases. About 1 in 8 washers will fail over the first few years of ownership. With dryers, you get more reliability on average, with only 1 in 16 failing during that same time period.
But think about my approach as a way to shop for appliances. Look for reliability stats from Consumer Reports or elsewhere and then shop at a scratch and dent store. You can get even more bang for your buck by purchasing mismatching colors of dryers and washers at the scratch and dent.
How can you find a scratch and dent store near you? Try calling local appliance stores and asking if they have a nearby outlet store or warehouse. Sears Outlet operates some of the best scratch and dents outlets across the country. There's also a regional chain called Appliance Smart that has locations in Georgia, Minnesota, Ohio, and Texas.
Just be aware that delivery often isn't included in the price, so you'll need to arrange for that on your own or through the scratch and dent's own delivery agent at an additional cost.

Jayanti Lal Gada's animated film; Mahabharat gets another big name attached.
Anil Kapoor has lent his voice to the sacrificing character of Karan who will have the physical attributes of the ace actor.
Jayanti Lal Gada had offered Anil Kapoor to lend his voice either to the character of Karan or Arjun.
Anil Kapoor however chose to do the voice over for Karan as Mahabharat witnesses Karan as the loyal and sacrificing idol.
The movie is an attempt to allow children to be up to date with their holy scriptures and at the same time make the movie an enjoyable and pleasant experience.
Makers of the movie believe Anil was the most suitable fit for the iconic character of Karan.
Interestingly, not only did Anil manage to get a nod for giving Karna's voiceover in the film, he also recommended Jackie Shroff's name.

What is "attractive" about a woman.
posted 2/18/2007 4:52:09 AM |
what's this?
report abuse
Just what is the fascination of a woman. How is it that of all the things on this green earth, for me at least, there is no "thing"; not money, not power, no material item with the attraction potential of a woman. You can break them down into parts and analyze those bits and see the beauty in any one of them, but those things would merely be fetish objects without the animized soul that grew and powers them. Some prefer red heads, blonds, or brunettes, some like green eyes, blue, brown, or some other color. Body types vary so much as to be unique and cannot be adequately described, as are the breasts, bottoms, and vagina's of individual women. They are like fingerprints and so different one to another that only one woman could ever have the ones they have. They are hers. She is "she". There is no one like her. Her voice is musical, her movements hypnotic, her embrace intoxicating. In the course of what I suppose you could call a study of the subject, I have decided that there can be no preference. If you take a wide enough sample over a period of time, you must come to the conclusion that though indeed there may be a "soul mate" person out there who through many lifetimes and for whatever karmic reasons has a particular attraction to you, the concept of woman per se' is beyond the possibility of discrimination. You could be with only one and she would represent to you ALL women. And yet, you could be with many and they would all represent aspects of the ONE. When you are with her and she has that "something" that entices you, she IS woman.
But what is that? What is that "something" which is represented in her that comes through her eyes, her smile, her movement? What is it about as many breasts, bottoms, and legs as you care to look at that makes them all "perfect" for the occasion? What is the archetype that it can be so diverse and yet so substantial? Why can you put 1000 women in a field and view them, like I did several times at outdoor rock concerts long ago where there was a pond and "skinny dipping" was going on, and see perfection in all of them? What is love, what is sex, what is attraction, what is LIFE?
If there is a fulfillment of the concept of God, then it must be in the innate desire to understand the whole of things. To put all the pieces of the puzzle together, no matter how large it is, and see the picture it represents. Thus lust is as spiritual as love. Senses are as saving as mind. Sex is the expression of the understanding that 2, or a hundred, or a thousand make one. Attraction is the hunger to BE the one, the ineffable, unknowable, ALL. Women are the means to that end. Women are attractive because they are all pieces of that puzzle and in order to see the whole you must understand and appreciate the parts which are not parts, but whole unto themselves; representations of that consciousness which is projected into a particular point in space and time for which their bodies are the symbols, held there and animated by the soul of the woman. No undertaking can be more serious, no quest more noble, no experience more meaningful than knowing another being. It is not for nothing that ancient texts refer to having sex with someone as "knowing" them. It is my endeavor to get to know as many women as possible and thus become more complete. I appreciate attraction and will not deny it. I love women and will admit it. I need life and they represent it.
But hey... that's just my opinion.

If they have a brain, if they can think, if they are laid back...that is an attractive woman.
Feb 18 @ 6:02AM
Well... yeah! A brain is part of the personality that makes a woman unique. Certainly one of the aspects to be considered.
Feb 18 @ 6:19AM
That was a very thought provoking blog Type, thanks. Ignor slittfiller, according to his blogs and comments he doesn't even like women, he needs to get a brain.
Great blog.
Feb 18 @ 11:48AM
the fact that you put so much thought into this blog .............to me says something about your character........
and as for what it is about woman that makes them attractive think........... its independence and individuality.......it could be looks ......brains ......body........a combo of all..one never knows.... a smell....beauty .....it could even be aloofness........or shyness that draws you ..........but what ever it is its unique to that one woman at that time....thats what i think...but who cares what i think

Sigh. Lindsay Lohan Is Coming to New York Again
Fathers, lock up your daughters. And sons. And maybe hide the liquor, too.
We've only just recovered from watching Dina Lohan's appearance on the Today show this morning, which had so many bizarre moments that you sort of have to watch it to wrap your mind around it — starting with when Matt Lauer asked if Lindsay deserved to be in jail and her mother said offhandedly, "not for this particular offense," and then basically every moment from there on. Now, we know, for example, that Lindsay is friends with a lot of "alleged murderers" and that her own mother doesn't know how many times she's been in rehab. But a major takeaway was the revelation that Lindsay will once again be leaving California and coming to New York City. For legal reasons: "California is a wonderful state, but in that world, it's different there," Dina explained. "It's a different game you play there, the court system and everything is a little different." Um, how? Because you can't really get the death penalty here?
We jest. But seriously, just a word of advice to any recovering addict: They don't call New York "The City That Never Sleeps" because it's hard to get cocaine here.

After a hanging, purchasing the rope and burning it yourself is said to remove all sins from you and keep you safe from the rope.
Earrings are said to give the sailor better sight. The pulse center for the eyes is through the earlobe.
Seeing a priest on the way to the ship to depart is bad luck. Sailor will not board the ship for 24hrs.
Whistling on the sea is bad luck. It is said to mock the sound of a strong wind and will call it so nature can show the true sound. Whistling is only allowed when becalmed or when shrouded in fog.
Common for sailors to get lashings for punishment. Sailors would then get tattoos of god symbols on thier back so the thrasher was less likely to whip the symbol of the god.
Others say symbols bring bad luck. They draw the attention of the god and it could be wrathful.
Rats are said to be good luck. In the church if a rat walks over you while praying, good luck will come your way.
The gong of a bell is said to scare away demons and ghosts.
The wind Elementals write prayers on cloth and tie them to trees and bushes. The entrance to most temples will be through a large courtyard of trees with white clothes with writing on them flowing in the wind in the hopes that the wind elementals will see them and answer them.
Elves use nature as strength and borrow from the trees to keep them living. An elf out of the forest for more than a day begins to die and within 3 days is dead without borrowing the strength of nature.
A race that are always born as twins and only one recieves a soul. The other is soulless therefore without pity, shame, or guilt. The evil race. Can't tell them apart by looking at them.
A village or town's dance was first taught to them long ago by the faeries.
Good luck to drink out of wolve's paw prints or some other animal. Gives special powers.
A flower possibly in the plains or maybe all over that is always tilted towards a certain place. Sunflowers. Could possibly follow the sun or could be forever facing a certain position because of something that happened, either the air forcing it that way and it staying, the fire was so strong that the flowers faced away from it. It could be that in one spot a large fire was made or a fire war where many fire elementals were destroyed by the True Gods and radiating out from that point all of this flower is facing away from it so no matter where you are you always know where this place is by seeing which way the flower is facing away from.
Able to raise body heat by concentration to save themselves in winter. Even to the point of drying freezing wet clothes.
The devil's wind. Explains why people become crazy. They are caught up in this wind which steals their sanity which in turn feeds the wind. The wind is a leftover from when the air elementals banded together in a mass army at one point to attack the True Gods. The wind is leftover of their attack route and on the anniversary of the battle the wind sweeps through causing the madness.
Something lives in the fog in a certain region and travels with the fog. Kidnaps or kills, or is simply heard and "felt".
Could be used for killing a certain animal...a prized animal. The bones must be carefully buried or disposed of lest a sorcerer get a hold of it. With the bones of the dead creature the sorcerer can kill the hunter.
People hunting for fish with arrows aim parallel with the water so that if they miss the fish they are aiming at they may hit another by chance.
A basin type hole in the middle of the plains. Once every so many years the rains come very hard and flood this place. Maybe that is where the tribes congregate for their tribal meetings.
There are those as rich as kings but dress as peasants and worry not about funding. To visit their true homes one would see wealth of untold value scattered as dirt is in a hut. They know the monetary value of their possessions but they have long lost any true value to their owners. Experience is their currency and their curse. They dispense secrets of the ages as if discussing the weather. Few things have they not experienced so that very little gives them joy. They are the lost ones looking for new life while humoring the mortals around them.
Golden coins that turn to lead within a few hours of being taken from their place of origin, causing a lot of trouble for whoever spends them.

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.

I was wondering if it's possible to get all the classes to use a different set of constants which would link to a testing version of the database etc.

Phil graduated from Ossining (NY) High School in 1969 and attended Norwich University where he received his Bachelor's degree in 1973. He served in the U.S. Army from 1973 until 1977 stationed in Gelnhausen, Germany. During this time he was awarded the Army Commendation Medal. After his honorable discharge, he remained in Germany and worked for Gramm & Grey Advertising Agency until 1980 when he returned to the United States. Between 1980 until 2011 Philip worked in a variety of Marketing and Sales positions which provided him the opportunity to travel throughout the U.S. as well as overseas. Because he was fluent in German he always had many Accounts in Europe. His most recent position was an Account Manager for Bay Associates a subsidiary of New England Wire Technologies.
He married Alice Jane Balmforth on September 16, 1995 in Woodstock, VT. They first made their home in Langdon, NH. In 2004 they moved to Orford, NH.
Phil had a love for life and enjoyed any opportunity to ride his BMW motorcycle. He was also an avid golfer, fisherman, skier and enjoyed many years of hang gliding.

He is survived by his wife Alice (Balmforth) Tanguay, his mother Margaret Mary Tanguay of Quail Hollow, West Lebanon, NH and his two sisters Barbara Tanguay of Garrison, NY and Nancy Tanguay of Pittsboro, NC plus a large extended family and many dear friends.
Phil will be sadly missed by all who knew him. He had a joy and zest for life. We'll especially miss his wonderful sense of humor and his beautiful smile, which he readily shared with everyone. Everyone knew him as a true gentleman who would go out of his way to help anyone in need, including strangers. His compassion was also evident through his love of animals.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2015 at 11 a.m. at the United Congregational Church in Orfordville, NH.

Jill E. Tullock-Johnson
Jill Tullock Johnson died unexpectedly on January 24th 2015 at the age of 63 at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC after losing her battle with liver disease.
Jill was born on September 7th, 1951 in Ridgewood, New Jersey to Robert and Doris Tullock. She spent her early years in New York and New Jersey. Jill graduated from Ridgewood High School in 1969 and then attended Ohio University, where she met her future husband Dave. After for two years at Ohio she transferred to Norwich University where she graduated in 1973 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Following graduation, Dave and Jill married in August of 1973. Dave entered the Air Force and Jill became a fulltime mother upon the birth of their first child in 1976. Over the next twelve years they would move across the country and the world as an Air Force family, living in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Germany, and Nebraska.
When Dave left the Service in 1985 they moved to Ohio and Jill reentered the work force. She worked at Fox Research as their office manager and then moved to Computer Sciences Corporation to take a job as their facilities and payroll manager in Dayton, Ohio. Upon their move to Virginia in 1990, Jill was employed as a bookkeeper by Northwest Asset Management, a privately owned property management firm in Washington DC. After several years with Northwest Asset Management she hired on at General Research Corporation (GRC) as a contracts specialist. While at GRC, she earned her Masters of Business Administration through Averett University. In 2002 she was hired as a contract and purchasing specialist at the Office of the Sergeant at Arms of the United States Senate. While at GRC and the Senate, Jill maintained her continuing education, earning several professional certifications in contracting and purchasing. Jill had a dynamic personality with excellent management, negotiation, and people skills. She was the senior acquisition professional responsible for the contract management of several major Senate contracts notably the Information Technology Support Contract I, II and III; Senate Payroll System Implementation; and Telecom Modernization Project.
Jill was an avid cook and baker. Her cheesecake was legendary at the Office of the Sergeant at Arms, as was her lasagna with her family. She was a graduate of Barbeque University and could grill anything under the sun. She loved to spend time with her children and four grandchildren. Jill also loved Siamese cats and was a big supporter of animal rescue organizations. She enjoyed traveling and always looked forward to the annual family vacation to Florida and to the trips to Arizona to see the grandchildren.
Jill is survived by her husband David; her daughter Karen Selden of Scottsdale, Arizona; her son Mark of Herndon, Virginia; her sister Kathryn Godwin of Johns Creek, Georgia, her grandchildren Lauren, Paul, and Flora Selden; and Emily Johnson. She is preceded in death by her mother Doris Tullock; her brother Robert Tullock Jr.; her father Robert Tullock Sr.; and her sister Geraldine Nay, all of Northern New Jersey.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Georgetown University Hospital center for their dedicated care for Jill in her final weeks, the Office of the Sergeant of Arms for their unwavering support of Jill during her illness, and all the friends and family who prayed and hoped for Jill's recovery. Our time here is short. Love someone.

Investigators haven't determined what caused a house fire in Shadow Creek Farms subdivision near Southside Elementary School.
Columbus firefighters said the fire began at 7:45 p.m. Monday in a clothes dryer, which had been unplugged and the circuit breaker turned off an hour before the fire broke out, according to Columbus Fire Department spokesman Capt. Mike Wilson.
Erik Laughlin was preparing to leave the home at 2880 Lakestream Drive when the smoke alarm went off, Wilson said.
When he entered the utility room, Laughlin saw smoke coming from under the Frigidaire brand electric dryer, as well as embers on the floor below the appliance, Wilson said.
When flames came through the dryer door, Laughlin grabbed a nearby fire extinguisher and attempted to put the fire out before calling 911.
The fire was out and the house had been evacuated when firefighters arrived, Wilson said.
Two pets, a rabbit and a dog, were uninjured. Ventilation fans were used to clear out the smoke, Wilson said.
The fire was contained to the dryer, and the house had minor smoke damage, he said.
Nick Laughlin, 27, who was away when the fire occurred, told investigators the dryer smelled hot an hour before the fire happened, which prompted him to shut off all power sources to the appliance, Wilson said.

I know for most of us, we have all lost our children in the past 2 months, but did anyone else decide to also get an autopsy? Even though the doctor told us it was 90% her cord around her neck that caused her death, I still want to be 100% sure and see if there is anything else I can do next time to make sure my future child is growing and thriving how he/she should in my womb...Just wondering if anyone has gotten there results, and how/who told them to you?
Is anyone else currently TTC or going to be soon? We are going to start TTC after my first period...I am so glad we habe this group going!

I have that rock n play sleeper and was using it during the day only because I read the bad reviews on amazon about babies sleeping in there at night and the flat spots. Well, she sleeps soo good in it but cries when we put her in the pack n play bassinett or crib at night.
I was getting no sleep at all beacuse she wouldn;t sleep in the bassinett so I put her in the rock n play a couple nights ago and got THE BEST sleep because she slept for 3 hours stretches. I've been using it at night even though I said I wouldn't, anyone else doing this?
What happens when they outgrow this? When should I transistion her to crib?

Fort Bragg fire chief best in North Carolina
March 1, 2013
By Capt. Lisa H. Beum/16th MP Bde. PAO
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - Nominations for Fire Chief of the Year are submitted by peers to the North Carolina Fire Chiefs' Association towards the end of the year. The winner is announced after a weekend conference in February during a semi-formal dinner.
"I was very humbled and excited," said Melvin, "I am just here to help people."
Because of Melvin's efforts, the Fort Bragg Fire Department helped get Operation Medicine Drop under way, which resulted in more than 200,000 doses of pills being collected in a two and a half year period. He also began the Child Safety Seat Program. Fort Bragg now has more than 40, certified child passenger safety seat technicians checking and installing 300 seats per year.
"Mark's career has been marked with distinction and significance and definitely serves as a leadership example for other to follow," said William E. McCammitt, deputy fire chief on Fort Bragg.
Melvin is working towards Fort Bragg being the first large- scale Army fire department to receive accreditation through the Center of Public Safety Excellence. He also lends a helping hand to other fire departments by conducting pre-inspections for the Insurance Safety Office, which leads to improved ratings for those departments.
"Due to his law enforcement background, he keeps the entire chief's (society) abreast of new laws and initiatives critical to the fire, rescue, and EMS (Emergency Medical Service)," said Ronnie Marley, vice president of the Cumberland County Fire Chiefs' Association.
Melvin has been serving for 30 years and has been a fire chief for 17 of those years.

Magnificently impractical and obsolete almost as soon as they were built, the cable lines briefly dominated urban transportation throughout the country
Beloved of San Franciscans for more than a century now, the sturdy cable cars cling tenaciously to the hills of their birth. They are fiercely protected as one of the crown jewels of Bay Area tourism—a columnist in the Chronicle once went so far as to say that, without them, San Francisco would only be a lumpy Los Angeles—but they are a good deal more than that.

During the 1920s the city spurred local rail traffic with an unparalleled run of superb and stylish posters
Surprisingly little is known about the posters shown on these pages. Springing up practically overnight in the mid-1920s, they bloomed for a short while, four or five years at most, and then their season, was over. Who was behind them and the reason for their demise is mostly a matter of conjecture. But one thing is certain: they rank with the best commercial art ever produced in this country, distinguished by their simple, vigorous shapes, subtle colors, and bold typography.Read more »
A pioneer locomotive builder used pen and ink, watercolor, and near-total recall to re-create the birth of a titanic enterprise
TOWARD THE END of his life, in the 1880s, David Matthew could go across the bay from his San Francisco home and see the long transcontinental trains rolling into Oakland. Behind them to the east lay more than a hundred and fifty thousand miles of track and a nation that had, in the past half-century, been entirely transformed by the railroads.Read more »
Today more Americans live in them than in city and country combined. How did we get there?
ABOUT SUBURBS, ONLY COMMUTERS know for sure. For single-family houses, lawns, off-street parking, and gardens they endure harrowing round trips by train, bus, and automobile, certain that life in the suburbs amply repays the time and money lost in transit. And they endure the smug jibes of residents of city and country, jibes as old as commuting.Read more »
Was it science, sport, or the prospect of a round-the-world railroad that sent the tycoon off on his costly Alaskan excursion?
The railroad tycoon Edward Harriman was a man of large vision and mysterious ways. When, on a day in March of 1899, he strode into the Washington office of Dr. C. Hart Merriam, chief of the U.S. Biological Survey, and proposed sponsoring a grand scientific exploring expedition to Alaska, Merriam thought he was just another lunatic. He put his strange visitor off until the next day while he checked him out. To his surprise Merriam found the man to be exactly what he said he was—president of the Union Pacific Railroad.Read more »
How a Whole Nation Said Thank You
They arrived in America chocked and chained, deep in the hold of a French merchant ship early in February of 1949. During two wars they had served France as dual-purpose railroad boxcars hauling the military cargoes stenciled on their sides: " Hommes 40—Chevaux 8 ." But now the cars held neither men nor horses. All had been repaired, freshly painted, and decorated with plaques bearing the coats of arms of the forty provinces of France.Read more »
The John Bull Steams Again
In early September of 1831, Isaac Dripps, master mechanic of the nascent Camden and I Amboy Railroad, stood staring at a miscellaneous assortment of bolts, levers, and pipes I that he was expected to assemble into a working locomotive. The engine had been ordered by the New Jersey line from Robert Stephenson of Newcastle, England, then the world's leading locomotive builder, who had shipped it across the Atlantic in parts, accompanied by nothing much in the way of instructions.Read more »
What it was like for the first travelers

It was called "the most extraordinary and astounding adventure of the Civil War"
On the pleasant Sunday evening of April 6, 1862, the men of Company H, 33rd Ohio Infantry, were relaxing around their campfires near Shelbyville, Tennessee, admiring the Southern springtime and trading the latest army rumors. They were joined by the company commander, Lieutenant A. L. Waddle, who announced that he wanted a volunteer for a secret and highly important expedition behind Confederate lines.Read more »
Mile for mile, it cost more in dollars—and lives—than any railroad ever built
It was not long after the completion of the Panama Railroad in 1855 that Bedford Clapperton Pirn declared with perfect composure that of all the world's wonders none could surpass this one as a demonstration of man's capacity to do great things against impossible odds. Read more »

Richard Nixon v. George McGovern, President, 1972
No look at dirty politics would be complete without some words about Nixon's near-total destruction of the Democratic Party in 1972. Ostensibly, the campaign was about the Republican nominee Nixon and the Democratic nominee George McGovern, but it was much bigger than that. Nixon's campaign was waged against the entire Democratic Party and, ultimately, against the rule of law.
President Nixon's campaign committee, the Committee to Reelect the President (CRP, or CREEP as it was known), actively coordinated with White House staff to weaken Democratic candidates for president throughout 1971 and 1972. This was accomplished through espionage, wiretapping, blackmail, forged documents, financial payoffs, burglary, cover-ups, and purgery, all sanctioned by the highest authorities in the land—the president, his senior staff, and the attorney general's office.
As a campaign strategy, it was incredibly effective-—that is, until everyone involved went to jail or resigned from office. What Watergate came to symbolize was an organized conspiracy from the highest office in the world to subvert the democratic process and evade any form of accountability. The general election campaign between Nixon and McGovern was just one act in this ongoing tragedy. Shakespeare would probably blush.
The feeling among Nixon and his confidants was that they had already had one election stolen from them (1960) and that his amazing political comeback in the late 1960s was endangered by Vietnam, civil rights, and economic uncertainties. They would have to take matters into their own

"With experienced editors and contributions from scholars of high caliber, The Federal Nation is a well-thought out and cohesively organized volume that engages and advances research on federalism." - James Pfiffner, University Professor, School of Public Policy, George Mason University
"The breadth of authors is distinguished and impressive in this wide-ranging book on contemporary American federalism. The subject of federalism is approached from various standpoints: historical, comparative, issue-based, legal/constitutional and functional. Federalism is at the very heart of the American system. Writing and controversy surrounding the presidency of George W. Bush have tended to be overwhelmingly concerned with foreign policy and, to a slightly lesser extent, with the growth of presidential power and authority. The Federal Nation shifts the focus to Bush s big government conservatism in the context of relations between Washington and the state and local governments. This is an excellent approach and a significant contribution to the field." - John Dumbrell, Professor of Government, School of Government and International Affairs, Durham University

Situation Update: Locust Crisis in Madagascar - 30 October 2013

Oct 2013
With the onset of the rainy season in late September, ecological conditions are becoming suitable for the maturation of the swarming populations and their subsequent mating and egg-laying (adequate soil moisture and grass greening). Hatching of non-swarming populations was already reported.
Several swarms, whose size was of 3 600 hectares on average but could exceed 10 000 hectares, were observed since the beginning of the extensive aerial survey, on 26 September. These swarms consisted of immature, maturing or already mature adults.
Currently infested areas extend as far North as the northwestern part of the invasion area. It is expected that hoppers groups and bands will form from mid-November in the West.

Tallahassee Memorial Hospital has its application into the State Department of Health; it's hoping to retain a trauma center designation. It's a program the hospital admits will lose money, but it wants to move forward because of the potential to save more lives.
The start-up costs are estimated at about $1.5 million and it will cost another $1.4 million each year to operate.
TMH says it plans to absorb most of the costs, but, will need some financial assistance, about $300,000 each year from the city of Tallahassee and Leon County.
"We do see the city commission and county commission's support as a litmus test to this community's support for a designated trauma program, so it is important, we think, for support is important for purposes of state support state funding," explains TMH CEO Mark O'Bryant.
O'Bryant says if all goes as planned, a trauma program could be up and operational at TMH in about a year and a half. The Tallahassee area is the only region of its population size to not have a trauma center; the closest centers are in Pensacola, Jacksonville and Gainesville.

build broad consensus on a combination trademark / license policy more permissive copyright licenses
== Consensus Items ==

Revision as of 15:31, 9 June 2014
The AB is working on a combination trademark / license policy to permit more permissive copyright licenses on W3C drafts and specifications.
AB Trademark License task force members:
Goal: build broad consensus on a combination trademark / license policy that permits more permissive copyright licenses.
Problem Statement
How did we get here? Why is this a problem?
The current W3C Copyright license is presenting the following problems:
- Restrictiveness has pushed specs outside W3C Some highly productive editors of key web platform specifications have chosen to do their work outside of W3C, due to, among other things, the ability to use more open (liberal) and more standard (not W3C-specific) licenses such as CC0 and OWFa.
- Blocks some spec implementation in Open Source. Recently W3C specifications are becoming more and more procedural in style (rather than declarative), in many cases providing (pseudo-)code for implementer incorporation. The W3C Copyright license's restrictions prevent incorporation of such code and/or strings (like error messages) into much open source, e.g. licensed with GPL.
Current W3C Licensing Work
What changes to W3C Licensing is actively occurring in W3C specs right now?
- HTMLWG experiment: optional CC-BY for HTML5 extension specs. Several HTML5 extension specifications are being developed with the CC-BY license, with the following result:
- Spec development is proceeding (but nothing "finished" to report)
- No bad results (the sky didn't fall).
- WebApps WG proposal: URL spec dual license with CC-BY
- Actively being proposed / discussed in AC.
Broader Trademark License Work
What is being done to fix licensing W3C-wide?
- AB is working on using trademark instead of copyright. Mike and Tantek on the AB, having familiarity with concerns along a broad spectrum of this subject, are working on finding points of consensus on how W3C could use a Trademark License with a liberal copyright license instead of the current W3C Copyright license. The rest of this document show current state of work. This work is being done in the open as part of the Open AB efforts begun in 2013.
Consensus Items
Items on which there is consensus within the task force.
- Create a public wiki page to track the project (this page AB/trademark-license)
- Historical note: last time there was a survey on more permissive licensing in HTMLWG there was a lack of consensus, and progress has been made since with the HTML licensing experiment.
- Using trademark license may provide an alternative to solving the underlying problem that the document license revision tried to address. From AC and AB discussions there may be a broad consensus possible on much of the underlying problem that the document license revision tried to address even if we disagree on using copyright to achieve those goals.
- It should be clear to the developer community which features in which specs are covered by the broad RF patent commitments that W3C Recommendations carry.
- There should be some sort of norm strongly encouraging attribution of ideas in derivative works back to their source. This helps maintain a culture of collaboration. The more we can make this simple and easy to do, the better.
- We need to foster a culture that respects the contributors of specific ideas and texts while recognizing that it they are refined and implemented via an evolutionary process in a larger community. We need to do this within a legally sound but minimally legalistic framework.
- Several prominent organizations developing and promoting open source software (OSS) use *trademark* policies to define and defend shared norms about how to use and re-use text and code. The Apache Foundation, Mozilla Foundation, Linux Foundation, Creative Commons, and others appear to have established trademark policies and executed them at a reasonable cost.
See also the FAQ for additional points of consensus.
Discussion Items
Items requiring further discussion. We are capturing these in an attempt to have a specific list to go through and hopefully resolve.
- Public mailing list for trademark license discussions: an open-to-all mailing list on the subject of licensing will likely be counter-productive (per above previous experience).
- Create a public-ab mailing list: (if it already exists, we can document our intent to use it), where only members of the AB can post to it, but the discussions are publicly archived
- This would also provide a forum for discussing AB projects which we decide are "open by default" and thus further the "Open AB" effort in general.
- Over time we can hopefully move more AB project discussion traffic from the private AB list to a public-readable AB list.
- Differences in copyright license approach: Some members including Microsoft have expressed the view that a copyright license that explicitly enables new use cases for W3C documents *except* creating derivative normative specifications is a good way forward, others including Mozilla have expressed the view that W3C specs should be put in the public domain, e.g. with the CC0 copyright waiver.
- Work through remaining points of discussion and incrementally increase points of consensus in the process. Document any unresolvable differences.
- Document publicly known points of agreement and disagreement (being done on AB/trademark-license), and report that to the AC directly. At that point, assuming we can easily iterate based on AC feedback, we may be able to directly scope work for PSIG.
- Draft a joint message to the AC explaining the rationale for trying to build broad consensus on a combination trademark / license policy that transcends the recent disputes.
Community Group
Q: Should we create a community group to have the license scoping discussion?
A: No. It is likely that a Community Group (CG) would be counterproductive based on historical experience with public email threads in various working groups etc. on document licensing. In addition, joining a CG entails agreeing to a Contributor License Agreement. This is unnecessary overhead for this discussion that does not plausibly create or infringe intellectual property.

Man denies possessing stolen goodsApril 17,2014Man denies guilt
in stolen steel case
A Rutland man charged with possessing stolen bridge building equipment that he tried to sell at a local scrapyard denied a felony charge in Rutland criminal court this week.
Aaron W. Goodrich, 41, pleaded innocent to a charge of possessing stolen property. He remains free on court-ordered conditions that include a 24-hour, seven day a week curfew at his Elm Street residence.
Goodrich was arrested Friday morning the morning after the bridge parts were stolen from Atlas Painting and Sheeting Corp., which has been parking its vehicles at the old Florys Plaza site in Rutland Town.
Vermont State Police say Goodrich was arrested while trying to sell the parts worth $8,140 to Rosen and Berger scrapyard just down Business Route 4 from Florys Plaza for $104.
State Police say Goodrich denied stealing the 1,060 pounds of parts. He told police he bought the items the night before from a man he bought metal from in the past. He said he paid $70 to the man for what he believed was about 500 pounds of scrap steel.MORE IN This Just In
