CLAIM: Justin Bieber Buys Customized $160,000 Range Rover
In a piece titled, "Justin Bieber Finds His Range," The Sun claims the singer "splashed out more than £100,000 [$160,000] on a… customized Range Rover."
Once it's completed, reports the tab, Bieber will have his tricked-out wheels "shipped out to LA to add to his expanding fleet of supercars."
RELATED – Justin Bieber's Batmobile Gets Pulled Over
The paper notes the special features Bieber is adding to his car include a high-end "engine, customized paint job and leather interior, plus a sound system worth £50,000 [$80,000]."
Says one of The Sun's so-called sources, "Justin loves his motors even though he's barely old enough to drive… His girlfriend Selena Gomez will be well impressed with his latest. It's the business."
Let's first look at the COMPLETELY fabricated quotes from the paper's "source."
First, no one in North America, especially anyone close to Bieber, would refer to cars as "motors."
Second, no one in the world, especially anyone close to Bieber, would refer in normal conversation to Gomez as "his girlfriend Selena Gomez." It's either just "his girlfriend" or "Selena."
Still, Gossip Cop checked with Bieber's rep, who told us there's "no truth whatsoever" to The Sun story.
Once again, the paper run out of gas with its fictitious Bieber stories.

NO! To Be Featured During Mexico International AIDS Conference
July 29, 2008
World AIDS Conference August 3rd-August 8th, 2008
The 17th Internation AIDS Conference is taking place in Mexico City on August 3rd to August 8th. Bringing together scholars, activists, organizers, and policy makers from around the world, the conference's aim and focus is the following according to it's publicity on the site:
"AIDS 2008 will provide many opportunities for the presentation of important new scientific research and for productive, structured dialogue on the major challenges facing the global response to AIDS. Conference organizers are developing a wide variety of session types that meet the needs of various participants and support collective efforts to expand delivery of HIV prevention and treatment to communities worldwide. Central to many of these sessions will be the transfer of knowledge and sharing of best practices.
In addition to the conference sessions there are a number of activities, including satellite meetings, exhibitions, the Global Village and the Cultural Programme, that are integral to delegates' experience at the conference.
NO! will be screened on Wednesday, August 6th at 4pm. Although we will not be present, we will certainly be there in spirit and look forward to hearing about the conference from our friends and allies who will be present. The links between violence against women and the AIDS epidemic are clear. We hope that the conference continues the work of bringing these links to the forefront of everyone's attention.
I'm proud to announce NO! will be screened on

Positive Atheism's Big List of
Scary Quotes

Home to Positive Atheism
Girolamo Savonarola (1452-1498)
It would be good for religion if many books that seem useful were destroyed. When there were not so many books and not so many arguments and disputes, religion grew more quickly than it has since.
The only good thing that we owe to Plato and Aristotle is that they brought forward many arguments which we can use against the heretics. Yet they and other philosophers are now in hell.
The sword of the Lord will descend on the Earth swiftly and soon!
Antonin Scalia
Devout Christians are destined to be regarded as fools in modern society. We are fools for Christ's sake. We must pray for courage to endure the scorn of the sophisticated world.
It is a Constitution that morphs while you look at it like Plasticman.... That is contrary to our whole tradition, to "in God we trust" on the coins, to Thanksgiving proclamations, to (Congressional) chaplains, to tax exemption for places of worship, which has always existed in America.
On this day, when we're celebrating our constitutional heritage, I urge you
to be faithful to that heritage -- to impose on our fellow citizens only the
restrictions that are there in the Constitution, not invent new ones, not to
invent the right because it's a good idea.
[If critics of the Pledge of Allegiance persuaded the public it should be changed] then we could eliminate under God from the Pledge of Allegiance, that could be democratically done.
The wise do not investigate such silliness.
One can be sophisticated and believe in God. Reason and intellect are not to be laid aside where matters of religion are concerned.
To be honest about it, that is the view of Christians taken by modern society. Surely those who adhere to all or most of these traditional Christian beliefs are to be regarded as simpleminded.
To many Americans, everything from the Easter morning to the Ascension had to be made up by the groveling enthusiasts as part of their plan to get themselves martyred.
Scalia Did Not Say This:
AP reported the following:
Scalia said the court had pretty much "signed on to the so-called homosexual agenda," adding:
Rev Bob Schenck
Morality no longer matters in the law.
Phyllis Schlafly
[President-elect George W] Bush has reached out to these other groups like Blacks and Hispanics.... He ought to do his reaching out to the people who elected him.
Dr. Schund
Every idea of the Holy Scriptures, from the first
to the last page, stands in diametrical opposition to the Darwinian theory.... If Darwin
be right in his view of the development of man out of a brutal condition, then the Bible
teaching in regard to man is utterly annihilated.
Norman Schwarzkopf (b. 1934)
A very great man once said you should love your enemies and that's not a bad piece of advice. We can love them but, by God, that doesn't mean we're not going to fight them.
Seneca (ca. 5 BCE to CE 65)
See Seneca's More Reasonable Sayings
All we see and admire today will burn in the universal fire that ushers in a new, just, happy world.
Sharon (b. 1928)
People need to know why we, as the Jewish people, have a right to be here. We need to
tell people what we are doing here... My tourism guidebook is the Bible.
Shaw (1781-1861)
[Blasphemy is] speaking evil of the Deity with an impious purpose to derogate from the divine majesty, and to alienate the
minds of others from the love and reverence of God ... [and] purposely using words concerning God, calculated and designed to impair and destroy the reverence, respect, and confidence due to him.... It is a willful and malicious
attempt to lessen men's reverence of God.
Lou Sheldon
This nation [the United States] was built on nothing but moral and biblical principles at its foundations.
If we turn our backs on God, God will turn his back on us.
Christy Shipe
God does not want us to be corrupted by close relationships with unbelievers. The fact is, if someone is not for God then they are against Him. You cannot be neutral with God. You're either on His side or on the side of the enemy.
Robert L Simonds
We are now in the process of putting born-again Christians on every school board in America.... A school board with five members needs only three Christians to take complete control of a school district. You can literally own that system and control all personnel, curriculum, materials, textbooks and policies.
American school children are openly being taught the following: how to become a faithful
Muslim; how to (and what to) PRAY to the Muslim God Allah; detailed Muslim doctrines from
the Koran, accepting the Koran as the only divine authority for them to live by; that Mohammed is
God's last prophet, because Allah gave him the words in the Koran for all men to follow; that the
Koran teaches that killing all unbelievers (especially Jews and Christians) is an honor that will gain
them paradise, where they will dwell with young virgins for a reward for their "good deeds."
Christians must exit the public schools.
We'll take away their power and their money. Money comes from students. We'll break their backs by taking 24 million kids out of the public schools.
God is honoring you and all you do, as you are now part of the greatest outreach in all history to save the helpless, innocent Christian church children still in our truly atheist public schools.
Tom Sipling
Guys, listen to me, I promise when you stand up for Jesus, Jesus is offensive, there will be persecution. I doubt though that you'll ever have to drop to your knees like Stephen while they stone you to death, but they might make fun of you. In fact, I promise if you really live boldly for Christ, they will make fun of you.
You mark yourselves in this generation, tattooing and piercing obviously prevalent among this generation. And I say, you know what, it's time to righteously mark ourselves with Christ. If the world can do it, certainly we can come up with a way to mark ourselves with Jesus, and so certainly, the Kneel Down is a way for them to identify with Christ.
How many of you know, we've lived through one generation without organized prayer in our schools? But I'd like to start this year, the first year of the second generation, with a prayer movement to sweep the hallways of our high schools. How many will join us in that prayer movement?
I'm not sure how many there'll be. But I do know this, the ones that are really going to get a hold of this thing, I believe we're just going to see unbelievable supernatural events begin to take place through this generation.
Robert Sloan
Espousing in a Baylor publication a view that is so out of touch with traditional Christian teachings is not only unwelcome, it comes dangerously close to violating university policy, as published in the student handbook, prohibiting the advocacy of any understandings of sexuality that are contrary to biblical teaching.
Ursula Sontbeil [a.k.a. Mother Shipton, née Charles Hindley]
The world then to an end will come
The world then at an end we'll view
The world then to an end will come
Glenn T Stanton
What abortion is to human life, marriage is to human culture. Marriage is
a non-negotiable thing for human civilization.
Rodney Stark
Check out: Rodney Stark's Reasonable Side
Not being religious is similar to any other shortsighted, risky and
impulsive behavior that some men -- primarily young males -- engage in, such
as assault, robbery, burglary, murder and rape.
[Some men are shortsighted, so] going to prison or going to hell just doesn't
matter to these men.
Sir Richard Steele (1672-1729)
I love to consider an Infidel, whether distinguished by the title of deist, atheist,
or free-thinker, by three different lights, in his solitude, his afflictions, and his last moments.... [In these situations such people show themselves] in solitude, incapable or rapture or elevation, ... in distress, [with] a
halter or a pistol the only refuge [they] can fly to, ... [and liable to conversion] at the approach of death.
I am back in LA now. And I keep thinking back to my time in New York after the bombings.... I was crying so much I could not see, and the other diners joined in, and I thought, What do you do with such atheistic evil?
Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925)
Agnosticism has seized hold of science, education and social life, and it affects millions of men who very often are quite unaware of the fact. It then lays hold of the realm of ideas, separating this from the world of true reality upon which alone humanity should have its stand; thus creating an inner division which weakens the soul forces of men. Through this division, licence is given to all the lower instincts, as we can recognize to be prominently the case in the world today. The realm of feeling also becomes unsatisfied; unfertilized by ideas it degenerates, hardens and becomes sentimental, or else it is engulfed in the life elementary instincts. This shows itself particularly in art, which is either sweetly unreal or else is naturalistic. True art creates its own style, and true style can only come from men's supersensible experiences. Agnosticism robs us of the truths which must live in art.
We have seen that blood united to blood in the case of but remotely connected species of animals, kills; blood united to blood in the case of more closely allied species of animals does not kill. The physical organism of man survives when strange blood comes in contact with strange blood, ... but clairvoyant power perishes under the influence of this mixing of blood, or exogamy.
In diabetes mellitus the case is as follows: the ego-organization, as it submerges in the astral and etheric realm, is so weakened that it can no longer effectively accomplish its action upon the sugar-substance. The sugar then undergoes the processes in the astral and etheric realms which should take place in the ego-organization.... From all this we see that a real healing process for diabetes mellitus can only be initiated if we are in a position to strengthen the ego-organization of the patient.
You catch a fairly young field-vole and flay it... We take the skin, when Venus stands in the sign of the scorpion, and combust the skin... Now take the ash, which you got this way, and pepper it out on the fields.
D Stern
There's no realistic federal protection
for religious believers anymore. State and local governments can intrude,
as long as they don't single out any faith.
Stöffler (1452-1531)
The world will end by a giant flood on February 20th 1524.
J B Stoner
We had lost the fight for the preservation of the white race until God himself intervened in earthly affairs with AIDS to rescue and preserve the white race that he had created.... I praise God all the time for AIDS
AIDS is a racial disease of Jews and Niggers, and fortunately it is wiping out the queers. I guess God hates queers for several reasons. There is one big reason to be against queers and that is because every time some white boy is seduced by a queer into becoming a queer means his white bloodline has run out. He wont have any white offspring. What it does is that it cuts down on the numbers of the white race. Cause they are not breeding.
Infidels: Repent of Mohammedanism or burn in hell forever, throughout eternity.
Rev Jimmy Swaggart
Evolution is a bankrupt speculative philosophy, not a scientific fact. Only a spiritually bankrupt society could ever believe it.... Only atheists could accept this Satanic theory.
The Media is ruled by Satan. But yet I wonder if many Christians fully understand that. Also, will they believe what the Media says, considering that its aim is to steal, kill, and destroy?
Sex education classes in our public schools are promoting incest.
The word "philosophy" simply means "a pursuit of wisdom, the purpose of life, and a search for Truth." However, this quest, because it originates with man, can never find the answers. In fact, man cannot reach God or know God by intellectual pursuit.
If I do not return to the pulpit this weekend, millions of people will go to hell.
Frank Zappa on Swaggart
"Anybody hear the great news, today? Jimmy Swaggart under investigation! Oh Ja-ee-zus! One day every one of those cocksuckers will get caught! I understand
in the case of Mr Swaggart, that he claims that it was not multiple encounters with many prostitutes -- apparently, only one sweet young thing. And he did tell Cal Thomas of the Moral Majority that the sex act itself was not fully consumated. However
he did admit to doing something por-no-graphic with the girl. Let's use our imaginations, ladies and gentlemen!"
Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)
See Johathan Swift's More Reasonable Sayings
The want of belief is a defect that ought to be concealed when it cannot be overcome.
That the universe was formed by a fortuitous concourse of atoms, I will no more believe than that the accidental jumbling of the alphabet would fall into a most ingenious treatise of philosophy.
|Randall Terry
Former used car salesman from upstate New York; founder of Operation Rescue, the most powerful of several groups who intimidate abortion providers through violence, and the only known group to enter a bookstore and rip the pages out of books which they think other people ought not read (although this illegal and immoral act at a Barnes and Noble store inspired legislation, the group of "enraged citizens" itself numbered only about a dozen people)
I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good.... Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism.
When I, or people like me, are running the country, you'd better flee, because we will find you, we will try you, and we'll execute you. I mean every word of it. I will make it part of my mission to see to it that they are tried and executed.
What it is coming down to is who runs the country. It's us against them. It's the good guys versus the bad guys. It's the God-fearing people against the pagans, and some of the pagans are going to church.
You better believe that I want to build a Christian nation, because the only option is a pagan nation. Not that the government can make someone a Christian by decree. A Christian nation would be defined as "We acknowledge God in our body politic, in our communities, that the God of the Bible is our God, and, we acknowledge that His law is supreme."
There is going to be war, [and Christians may be called to] take up the sword to overthrow the tyrannical regime that oppresses them.
Tertullian [Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus] (160?-220?)
See Tertullian's More Reasonable Sayings
The Son of God died; it is by all means to be believed because it is absurd. And he was buried and rose again; the fact is certain, because it is impossible.
Woman, thou shouldst ever be clothed in rags and in mourning, appearing only as a penitent, drowned in tears, and expiating thus the sin of having caused the fall of the human race. Woman thou art the gate of the devil. It is thou who hast corrupted those whom Satan dare not attack face to face.
Encarta: Partisan Spirit, Specious Reasoning
"[Tertullian's] work is remarkable for its blunt sarcasm, epigrammatic phrasing, aggressive partisan spirit, and skillful -- though sometimes specious -- reasoning."
Tim Todd
It is not legal for me as an adult to give Bibles away in school, but it is legal for teenagers ... [to give them away so our organization can counter] the liberal agenda of homosexuality, premarital sex, abortion and evolution that is aggressively being promoted in our public schools.
Mitchell Tolle
Our forefathers carefully blended their faith into everyday life at every opportunity. They put the words, "In God we Trust" [1] on our money, included the phrase "One Nation Under God" [2] in our pledge to the flag, and gave us glorious songs like "God Bless America!" [3] and "America, America, God shed his grace on thee - And crowned thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea!" [4] It gives me goose-bumps just to think about it....
Dr. Elmer Towns
No man goes to hell for his sin -- people go to hell for unbelief ... they have not believed in Jesus Christ.
Father David Trosch
Sodomy is a graver sin than murder. -- Unless there is life there can be no murder.
Desmond Tutu (b. 1931)
Beware when you take on the Church of God. Others have tried and have bitten the dust.
If we are to say that religion cannot be concerned with politics then we are really saying that there is a substantial part of human life in which God's writ does not run. If it is not God's, then whose is it? Who is in charge if not the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

An Update from Senior Duncan "Diesel" MacDonald-Korth
Thursday, Oct. 28, 2010
Hello Duck tennis blog fans! Duncan MacDonald-Korth reporting here.
The year has gotten off to a good and busy start. We have been working our butts off thus far this fall and I feel like we are really starting to make progress as a team. The freshmen have gotten into the swing of things, stopped asking directions to their classes, and certainly stepped up their fitness.
We started the year as a team at the Boise State Fall Classic. We did well in this tourney but a lot of us lost close matches late and felt like we may have left some opportunities out on the court. Aaron Clissold had a good showing and fought through to the quarterfinals before unfortunately succumbing to cramps. Altogether though, I think it was a solid start to the year.
Ten days ago, we played the biggest tournament of the fall, ITA Regionals, and unfortunately we felt like we didn't do as well as we should have. Freshman Alex Rovello was one bright spot, but as a whole we feel like we needed to do better. Thus, we are very excited to get back out on the courts next weekend in Seattle, Wash at Washington University. We are eager to improve our results and make progress as a unit as we progress towards dual season.
As far as our day-to-day lives, we have been working very hard and it is starting to get very chilly at our 6:30 a.m. lifts! We have been putting in a lot of track work lately in order to improve our fitness and endurance on the court. It has been paying off too, particularly with the freshmen. They have made significant strength and endurance gains since arriving in Eugene.
Hope all is well with our loyal Duck fans, we regret that we have no matches in Eugene this fall, but we are looking forward to seeing you all at the Student Tennis Center this spring!

Just another RMAN backup-script for Windows
I was asked to deliver a backup-script for a windows-database – really ! However I'm not an o.s.-scripting guru at all and certainly not on Windows, I came to the following. It looks a lot like the one I use on Linux, just tried to translate it into a .cmd-file. The challenge was to get it in one-command file.
I noticed there are a lot of RMAN backup-scripts, but not very much executed from a cmd-file:

TC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE ; 19 October 1840; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18401019-TC-MAC-01; CL 12: 293-295
Chelsea, Monday 18 [19] Octr / 1840—
My dear Mother,
Take a short word from me rather than none. Your dear little Letter1 has just arrived here; many thanks for it! Not one of them writes a more compact little epistle than you do, when once you have your implements about you. I am much obliged always by the pains you take; for it requires energy in you to take to writing: your writing-materials do not, like mine, stand always on a table, ready for seizing!— The poor Box, I calculate, may be jumbling along, down Butcherbeck Brae about this hour, slowly arriving at Scotsbrig. Then you will have an opening of them, and a sorting of the old duds! One thing only I advise: that you do despatch them instantly about their business, and not keep the house lumbered with them.
In Jamie's Letter2 I talked of the household tribulation we were in; owing to the accursed power of drink over our little Teetotum of a maid-servant. All was arranged for her having to go this morning at ten. The poor creature, however, looked so entirely broken-down with woe, hopeless, silent, without any tears, almost without any words, that Jane, after serious consideration, determined to try her yet one other time. It seems to me there is still a possibility, tho' the probability is small. She may last us a few months; she may save her own little soul and body: let her have a fair third chance! We have never had so "comfortable a bit useful creature" about the house. Cheerful as a cricket, handy, quiet, easily supported and dealt with: all right, if it were not that unhallowed malison! It makes one shudder at oneself to see what precipices lie close at the footsteps of us all. Let him that standeth thank God for it.— On the whole, however, the practical fact is that our establishment is once more tranquil, and I once more at my work: a most comfortable fact. Poor Jane has got herself terribly shattered by this week's tumult; must now try to sleep, and rally again. She will write you a Letter before long, she hopes, with all manner of news in it.
There is a brave Article upon me by Aird in the Dumfries Herald of last week: Jack will forward it when he has done with it. A really clever Article; and does not want for extravagant praise at least. They are making a good deal of splutter about me in the Newspapers here in reference to my Quarterly Reviewer, who is an Oxford Priest of eminence, and advances doctrines hateful to many. I sit very quiet here, and generally hear nothing of it till it is all over. "Do thee neither ill nor guid!" The Oxford Priest and the Radical Infidels may take it between them; lay on and spare not, the skins are thick, and as I think both of them will be no worse for a basting!3 Fraser, I dare say, likes it right well; as to me, it is really not my concern but another's.
A joyful Kirn [harvest-home celebration] to you at Scotsbrig. The meal will be welcome. We are sending to Fife for excellent potatoes. Good be with you, dear good Mother. Jane's blessing and mine to one and all.— Ever your affectionate
T. Carlyle—
This Letter of Jack's arrived on Saturday night; all goes well with him seemingly.

Augusta persisted: "I said, 'We have our whole life to learn about each other. That's what marriage is about.'" According to Randy's testimony, however, her admonishments sounded more like "Get with the program, or get out." It was her threat of divorce, he testified, that coaxed him back to Vicki Schnell's office. Once again, they signed consent forms. But Randy still appeared to have mixed feelings, so Schnell asked the Romans' therapists to weigh in. They raised a red flag.
"The counselors said there was nothing they could do," Augusta says.

The Morning Download: Cisco's Cloud Controversy
The Morning Download cues up the most important news in business technology every weekday morning. Send us your tips, compliments and complaints.
Michael Hickins is on vacation.
Good morning. The recent controversy over Cisco's new cloud-based home router management system–involving terms of service that appear to have anti-porn and anti-piracy restrictions–underscores the need for all cloud customers to read the fine print of their agreements.
In case you missed it, Cisco introduced routers in April that allowed customers to move administration to the cloud, so that they could manage their new home router from anywhere, over the Web. But the terms of service required users of the Web service to agree to certain anti-piracy and porn restrictions. Several days ago, the cloud service and the restrictions shifted to default mode, raising protests from customers and leading Cisco to issue a statement saying it didn't "actively track, collect or store personal info or usage data for any other purposes, nor is it transmitted to third parties." While it has dropped the default settings, one can only wonder: what sort of options has Cisco left open by using the word "actively" in its statement?
Regardless of whether Cisco has used its cloud service and its service agreement to limit or track in any way what its customers do online, the point is: the technology opens up all sorts of possibilities. And the episode is a reminder that CIOs ought to be mindful of what sort of corporate data cloud vendors can access, and how they put it to use.
Cornell grad school harnesses data visualization. As federal grants for advanced study become harder to get, leaders at Cornell University Graduate School want to help doctoral students earn their degrees more quickly. They view data visualization as a key tool in that effort. Software from Tableau will allow faculty and administration, starting this fall, to visually analyze and interact with data, even if they don't have expertise in statistics or engineering. The project will assess the time it takes for students to get their degrees, cross-referenced with student ethnicity and academic background. The goal is to speed up the doctoral process—and to improve levels of diversity, Barbara Knuth, dean of the graduate school, told CIO Journal.
How Sealed Air CIO Warren Kudman copes with decentralized IT. At a time of widespread calls for more decentralization of IT services, Sealed Air CIO Warren Kudman has struck a balance. He maintains a central reporting structure, but IT staff and resources are widely dispersed throughout the giant packaging materials and equipment company, CIO Guest Contributor Arthur Langer says in a column based on a conversation with Kudman. This balance allows Kudman to maintain a level of governance and management over IT staff and resources, and makes sure that IT workers report to someone who understands their career needs. It also helps the business units quickly get their hands on the technology they need—and assume financial responsibility for it, according to Langer.
Yahoo CEO search in final stages. Sources say that Internet giant Yahoo is close to making a decision on its next CEO, says AllThingsD's Kara Swisher. The leading candidates: interim CEO Ross Levinsohn and Hulu CEO Jason Kilar. Levinsohn is the favorite, reports Swisher, because some board members fear that adding a new CEO from outside could "further destabilize a company that has gone through the leadership wringer over the last year." Levinsohn took the helm after former CEO Scott Thompson left in disgrace earlier this year following a resume controversy.
Amazon plans smartphone. Amazon.com is developing a smartphone that would vie with Apple's iPhone and handheld devices that run Google's Android operating system, Bloomberg's Tim Culpan, Olga Kharif and Ashlee Vance report. Foxconn International, the Chinese mobile- phone maker, is working with Amazon on the device. Amazon is seeking to complement the smartphone strategy by acquiring patents that cover wireless technology and would help it defend against allegations of infringement.
Galaxy boost Samsung's profit. Soaring sales of the Galaxy smartphone drove record quarterly profit of $5.9 billion at Samsung Electronics, though the South Korean tech giant is sweating over how Europe's debt crisis is denting demand in its biggest market for televisions and home appliances, Reuters' Miyoung Kim reports. While strong handset sales grab the headlines, more than doubling profit growth, other businesses such as chips and consumer electronics are battling weak prices and demand and a limping euro, which eats away at repatriated profits.
U.S. military sharpens preparation for cyberwar. The U.S. military is ramping up efforts to combat cyberwarfare, reports the WSJ's Julian E. Barnes. In June the U.S. Air Force graduated its first class of airman trained "to hunt down electronic intruders, defend networks and launch cyberattacks." Other branches of the military are also building cyberwarfare capabilities.
Judge questions technology patents. The U.S. judge who threw out a patent lawsuit between Apple and Motorola tells Dan Levine at Reuters that he is not sure technology–or most industries–even need patents. "You just have this proliferation of patents," said Richard Posner, a jurist for the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. "It's a problem." Posner's June 22 order rejected the possibility of using patents for individual features as a means to ban an entire phone.
Not a good day for Apple's walled garden. Antivirus firm Kaspersky said that it found the first instance of malware in the iOS App Store, reports Christina Bonnington for Wired. A Russian-language app called "Find and Call" steals and uploads a user's address book. The discovery as Apple tackles an App Store bug that causes newly updated apps to crash upon opening.
On Monday, the Internet goes dark for thousands. Come Monday hundreds of thousands of people may have problems connecting to the Internet, Mike Orcutt of Technology Review reports. That's when an industry consortium sheds responsibility for running DNS servers originally tied to an Estonian cyber-gang that routed millions of users unknowingly to shady Web sites. Following the gang takedown last year, authorities replaced the DNS servers and began to notify users of infected computers. As of late June, 200,000 IP addresses are still affected, Orcutt reports. Twelve percent of Fortune 500 companies are still infected with the malware.
Apple foils Nintendo's plans. Nintendo is betting on its next-generation game console Wii U to take back business lost to cheap, casual games for mobile devices. But the console's "killer app," a touchscreen controller, has already been supplanted by Apple. Businessweek's Cliff Edwards and Adam Satariano report that a new Apple mobile device feature turns Apple mobile device's into a game controller. With 100 million devices endowed with the feature, game developers may move more efforts toward Apple, at the expense of Nintendo which needs developers to make games for its $250 console.
Cloud services firm shows the right way to IPO. ServiceNow CEO Frank Slootman credited part of his firm's strong IPO showing last Friday to"transparent" business models for enterprise software companies. "With companies like Facebook, you're hoping and praying that they're producing what they're supposed to whereas enterprise software has established revenue and multiples," he tells the WSJ's Matthew Wong. ServiceNow provides cloud-based IT software services.
WikiLeaks publishes Syrian emails. WikiLeaks said it is publishing content based on a trove of 2.4 million Syrian emails, many from official government accounts, reports the Associated Press. A spokesperson for the organization quoted founder Julian Assange saying "the material is embarrassing to Syria, but it is also embarrassing to Syria's external opponents."
Every week, CIO Journal offers a glimpse into the mind of the CEO, whose view of technology is shaped by stories in management journals, general interest magazines and, of course, in-flight publications.
Out of Africa: The enterprise cloud revolution. African companies are discovering IT at "the onset of cloud-thinking," writes Bright B. Simons for the Harvard Business Review and are almost unencumbered by decades of "corporate policies on IT" afflicting the West. In Africa, the role of the CIO is still in its infancy, Simon writes, and CEOs call the IT shots. If and when the CEO gets what's at stake, "the whole enterprise is likely to embrace cloud and mobility with a seamlessness and finality that is impossible to achieve in the West." Because the technology is viral, an African enterprise mobility success story could "very easily affect its entire industry."
Hardware is so hot right now in Silicon Valley. Hardware manufacturers in the Valley detect a "renewed appreciation for nuts and bolts" as more companies question the "accepted wisdom of the Valley" that focused efforts—and salaries—on software development while outsourcing hardware efforts overseas. "They all thought they could get someone else to do the hard work," a designer behind the first Apple MacIntosh tells Businessweek's Peter Burrows and Ashlee Vance. Apple's "phenomenal success" at bringing hardware efforts in-house is behind recent hardware announcements by software firms Microsoft and Google. "Now even Facebook, the poster child of the social media era, is paying top dollar to hire product designers, possibly to build a phone," they write.
Higgs boson explained: We think. Since the announcement Wednesday that scientists may have found the Higgs boson, the so-called "God particle" that explains everything, we have read countless pieces reaching to put that 'everything' in layman's terms. Favorite explanation from the Guardian: "If the constituent parts of matter were sticky-faced toddlers, then the Higgs field would be like one of those ball pits they have in the children's play area at IKEA." For those still confused–we include ourselves here–Ker Than of National Geographic skips the metaphors for a simple explanation of the particle, as well as an explanation of the factors that led physicists to conclude that their discovery is not a statistical fluke.
Call to arms for central banks. Central banks around the world sprang into action yesterday, cutting rates and loosening monetary policy to try to jump start economic growth. ECB president Mario Draghi said the rate cuts were taken independently by central banks and those in the euro zone reflected weak growth, "with heightened uncertainty weighing on confidence and sentiment," the FT reports.
At a news conference, Draghi brushed off questions about QE, but he said "there is no feeling that we are running short of policy options" and "we still have all our artillery ready to contain inflationary risks" in either direction, Bloomberg notes. The moves – which the NYT calls "a nibble at interest rates, a few forkfuls of bonds" – are unlikely to change much, but will stoke the debate between those demanding stronger action and those convinced that central banks have done all they should.
IMF to slash forecasts. IMF chief Christine Lagarde pointed to the rate cuts as evidence of a fragile recovery and said her organization would trim its forecast for global growth this year, the FT reports. Without disclosing the size of the planned adjustment, Lagarde said that the IMF's current growth forecast of 3.5%, due to be updated in the middle of this month, would be "tilted to the downside."
Regulators follow email trail. Regulators are zeroing in on a pile of potentially incriminating messages from traders at banks as they decide whether to file charges. Damning emails and instant messages have already helped them squeeze a settlement from Barclays. Regulators tell the WSJ that the Barclays deal shows how much leverage investigators have over the banks because of the footprints left by traders. "Traders could—and did—profit by influencing interest-rate submissions."
European debt crisis: what you need to know. Italy approved €4.5 billion in spending cuts for 2012 aimed at slashing the size of its bloated public sector, Dow Jones Newswires reports. The cuts also delay a VAT increase until after the first half of 2013. Meanwhile, Greece said it wants to step up the pace of overhauls, acknowledging that its austerity program was off track, according to the WSJ.
Tom Loftus contributed to this report.
CORRECTION: The story about Africa's cloud revolution appeared in the Harvard Business Review. An earlier version of this article credited the story to the Harvard Business Report.

So here it is Vikings fans...or more importantly: Football fans! The clock is ticking...5 yrs, 4 yrs, 3 yrs, 2....Just how important is it for our Minnesota Vikings to host another Super Bowl game in 2018?! After all, it is just one event - a 3 hour spectacle; and if it's anything like the one between the Washington Redskins and Buffalo Bills in 1992 (a 37-24 bloodbath in favor of the Natives), it will be rampant in more ways than one and very soon forgotten...
So why are project planners making such a big deal over this obvious exercise in vehemence and voraciousness?! After all, it ain't Target Field and this isn't Ron Gardenhire taking twib notes from TK on the proper way to keep his craw from lining with the remnants of Copenhagen like he was reenacting the highlights of an old Hannah Barbera routine (minus all the major players left to the back of a ruffled sketch pad, of course!). By the way: Spinach, anyone?
$975 million! The Vikings find this is not enough to keep everyone happy. "We only have $975 million in the budget, and there's only so many things you can get under that number," says Vikings VP Lester Bagley. Well, well, well...one can only hope - but knowing our purple patriarchs just judging from their pinstriped brethren may be enough to bring them to their tepid and infirm senses.
"Where's Max Winter when you need him?"
Mike Lynn hasn't got a clue.
"Do you?"
Just stay clear of the Bayou.

I "met" Spann Cordle online and I was immediately taken with his positive, upbeat, go-getter attitude.
Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth, Cordle has an astonishing background and an even MORE impressive outlook for a bigger and brighter future.
He has an under graduate degree in political science, and criminal justice and graduate work in criminal justice and public administration.
A greeter at a Walmart store in Griffin Georgia, he has aspirations of moving from the sales floor to corporate Walmart.
Cordle, 55, started with the retail giant in 2007 in Summerville Ga as a greeter, then was promoted to sales associate in the connection center. In 2008 he was ask by then store manager Jeremy Lightsey if he would like to attend the annual shareholders meeting in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Upon his return, Spann soon got a call from SAM's Club asking if he and his service dog Finn would be interested in being featured in a promotional video on service animals. A film crew came from St. Louis to shoot the 2 minute video
In February 2009, Spann and Finn flew to Kansas City for SAM's yearly meeting where the video was shown- the associate and dog got 3 standing ovations.
In Nov 2009, Cordle was featured in an article for Disaboom.com for Walmart.
May of 2010, "Careers and the Disabled" named him employee of the year representing Walmart.
In October 2010, Spann and Finn were featured on cover of Walmart World Magazine.
Cordle has nothing but praise for the company, and feels he can do more to be an asset.
He wants to move to the Walmart Arkansas Corporate office to offer his continued contributions.
Spann has been hoping and working on his dream of corporate after his trip to the shareholders meeting. He says it has almost become a 24/7 goal to reach in order to show others disabled and non-disabled that if you want something badly enough -and work for it and are determined- it can happen.
Cordle hopes to gain a position with more impact should he lucky enough to relocate and use his Abilities to help the company continue to grow.
About Spann's Service Dog and Companion, Finn
Is a ten year old Labrador mix, born and raised in Nebraska. He got Finn in December 2005 from a private training facility Canine Specialty Training in Independence Mo.
Back in 2004, Spann watched a segment on "Animal Planet" on service animals and began research that night, e-mailing anyone and everyone to learn more.
About a year later, he got an email from Susan Bass, Director of K-9 specialty training in Independence Missouri, asking if he would be willing to come to Missouri and meet her to talk to about Service Animals.
He got some pretty tough questions about how severe muscle cerebral palsy was day to day, his activities and what he needed the dog to be able to do. Finn is a mobility service animal which means he can pull Spann's wheelchair by using a harness. Says Spann: " I guide his moves by moving my hand to the left or to the right. He can pull my chair much faster than I can roll it -not to mention saving wear and tear on my joints. Finn is fluent in 80 different commands- he can open and close doors, turn lights on and off, take clothes out of the washer put them in the dryer, take them from the dryer and put them in a basket- then pull that basket wherever I need."
When I asked Spann about his future plans, he replied "What I really want to do for Walmart is represent the company. I want to travel and speak to groups partnered and non-partnered with Walmart to tell them what the company has helped me do and that others can do the same. Walmart is global in 28 different countries- there are a lot of disabled people to talk to. Walmart has it's own ADA dept. It has a Vice President - I'd be a great executive assistant director!"
He continued: "Years ago my father who died when I was 14 of colon cancer told me one day I'd be grown and would need a job where I could use my mind because I wouldn't be able to dig ditches or do manual labor. So I got an education my mother saw to it!"
In Spann's Own Words
From His Website: Spann'sWorld- Life with a Service Dog: Inspiration for living with a service dog
"I have a lot of experiences growing up with Cerebral Palsy, training and working with my service dog, and living out and about town. It's my mission to help others,individuals and organizations to bring education,inspiration about how to incorporate inclusion in their lives!
Over the years, I've worked at Walmart in their electronics department and as a greeter. At Walmart, I not only work but have the opportunity to meet many people who inquire about Finn, my service dog. They see us working and it provides a way to educate others about the importance of employment and disability as well as the importance of including people with disabilities in our communities.
Finn and I never have a dull moment. Together, we've lived a full life, and each day is met with new challenges, successes and adventures.
I hope to share with you my own story, advice to motivate you on your own journey and ways to become a more inclusive community. In addition, I'm excited to be speaking and offering disability training local community based organizations and companies."
What does the future hold for Spann and Finn?
As you can see, Spann's aspirations seemingly have no bounds: moving from Georgia to Arkansas to Walmart Corporate to have an even bigger impact as a spokesperson for Americans With Disabilities and educating people about the wonders of service animals. Making it more acceptable and common place for employers of every description to hire "handi- Capable" people in all walks of life to limitless positions.
What else? Says Spann "I have admired Sarah Palin since she burst on the scene as the 2008 Vice Presidential Candidate. I would love to travel to Alaska and make sure Walmarts and other retailers fully understand and appreciate what "disabled" people have to offer."
To show how far we have moved as a society in regard to how view "handicapped people with disabilities," this writer has included a rare piece of video footage, featuring President Franklin D. Roosevelt- and the lengths he and the press went to cover-up the fact that he was in a wheelchair as a victim of polio.
As Scott Hamilton said: "The only disability is a bad attitude."
Spann Cordle is a shining example of what a GOOD attitude can do for EVERYONE.

Vt. court affirms sentence in '04 ex-wife deathThe Associated Press | June 21,2013MONTPELIER - The Vermont Supreme Court is affirming a minimum 14-year prison sentence for a man convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the 2004 death of his wife whose body was found outside their Bethel home.
William "Al" Kimmick had filed a post-conviction relief claim that he had ineffective counsel during the 2005 sentencing phase after his conviction on the manslaughter charge filed after the death of his wife 41-year-old, Kathyrn Kimmick.
The body of Kathryn Kimmick was found frozen in a car outside her Bethel apartment on Jan. 23, 2004, about three days after she died. An autopsy found she died of blows to the head.
William Kimmick fled to Taiwan after his wife's death, but he surrendered and returned to the United States.
He was convicted in the fall of 2004.MORE IN This Just In

Banyan Tree Ungasan, Bali presents a special "Taste of Korea" promotion" between 19-26 October 2012 at BAMBU restaurant, with visiting VIP Korean guest chef from Banyan Tree Club & Spa Seoul. Chef Myung Chul Ham's professional culinary repertoire extends to leading luxury hotels; as well as the famed Cheong Wa Dae or "Blue House", the executive office and official residence of the South Korean head of state, where he served as personal chef for two previous Korean Presidents.
Chef Ham is greatly recognised and respected for his "globalised" approach to Korean cuisine, having represented the gastronomic essence his country through his inspired menus prepared for dignitaries during state banquets.
Featured as à la carte and special set menus inclusive of appetisers, side dishes, main courses and desserts, Chef Ham's signature dishes from CLUB MEMBER'S RESTAURANT, Banyan Tree Club & Spa Seoul include: UREOK MAEUNTANG spicy rockfish stew, JEONBOKCHO abalone in soy sauce, DAKSAL-GYEOJACHAE marinated and shredded chicken, GALBI-GUI-YANGNYEOM marinated and grilled beef short ribs, JEYOOK BOKKUM sautéed pork belly and NAKJI-BOKKEUM stir-fried baby octopus with vegetables.
After the "Taste of Korea" promotion, Bambu will adopt from chef Ham, under his credit, selected signature dishes that will feature permanently on its menu. For the region's gourmands, discerning South East Asian travellers and guests staying at the cliff-top Bali resort, it presents a rare opportunity to savour gourmet Korean cuisine from recipes created exclusively by the renowned Korean chef Myung Chul Ham.
Delivering authentic gastronomic experiences and leading the way for culinary excellence, the week-long promotion is part of a "restaurant exchange programme" held in partnership between Banyan Tree Ungasan and Banyan Tree Club & Spa Seoul. Through the initiative, chefs across different Banyan Tree Hotel & Resorts are invited to spend time within another of Banyan Tree Hotels and Resort's stable of thirty properties.

Want to see Kate Winslet makeup free? Well, now you can. The "Divergent" actress joined other celebs in the new Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue for a natural, no glam photoshoot that has people talking. On Feb. 6, Mail Online posted the makeup free photo of Kate Winslet and also the one of actress Scarlett Johansson -- and yes, they are worth a look.
Other celebrities that made the cut this year include Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Oprah Winfrey (all sans makeup). Photos of Bette Middler and Jessica Lange were also published -- and both women defy their ages with clean, clear skin.
Seeing Kate Winslet makeup free isn't earth shattering but there really is something neat about seeing a high profile celebrity just broken down to a "normal" person without all the glitz. Normally these women have makeup artists that make them look stunning but to see their natural beauty is easily more intimate -- and that's why people are passing around the pictures today.
So who is the photographer behind these shots? That would be Chuck Close.
"I don't do glamour (sic) shots, and they're not airbrushed or whatever. So they can be, um…they can be rough. So I need to talk people through it. They have to give up a great deal of vanity in order to do it. And it takes a real act of generosity and faith on the part of the subject to go with it and to give me their image without having any control over what's gonna happen," explained award-winning photographer Chuck Close.

Getting Married in the Southern Part of Heaven
Orange County is a great place to get married, and the process is easy.
Your first stop is the County Register of Deeds website, which has a lot of useful information, including rules regarding required documents, and applicants who are minors, have prior divorces, or are unable to be present. Call the office at (919) 245-2675 if you have questions.
The website also has a downloadable worksheet outlining the information needed for your license. Many couples prefer to complete the form ahead of time because it requires some data you may need to research (like the cities in which each of your parents were born). You can fill it out on-site, however.
When you're ready to get your license, head to the Register of Deeds Office in downtown Hillsborough (228 S. Churton Street, Suite 300). You each need to present a valid ID--driver's license, state-issued ID card or a passport--and your social security cards, a W-2 form, or a payroll check stub with your complete social security number on it." Once the paperwork's done, you pay $60.00, affirm your application and you're done.
You have 60 days to get married, and the ceremony must be done by a county magistrate or a religious official authorized to solemnize marriages. After the wedding, your officiant completes the marriage certificate, which must be returned to the Register of Deeds office.
"Our experience there was efficient, professional and welcoming, as we understand it has been in most counties in North Carolina," notes Carrboro Mayor Lydia Lavelle (far right in above photo), who recently secured a marriage license for herself and partner Alicia Stemper (to left of Lavelle). Their marriage took place (photo) on October 25, 2014 at the Carrboro Town Commons.
For more information on the legal aspects of getting married in North Carolina, visit EqualityNC's Day One site
Orange County Wedding Venues
From outdoor options to elegant indoor venues, there's something to suit every couples' taste and requirements. In addition to our welcoming houses of worship, here are some popular Orange County wedding venues:
Your church or venue staff can help you line up other resources like florists and caters. EqualityNC created a short list of wedding vendors or contact the Visitors Bureau wedding coordinator, Marlene Barbera, at 919-245-4323 or email@example.com.
Orange County's climate is mild, making outdoor ceremonies feasible in all but the winter months. Of course, springtime and June are traditionally popular wedding months, and local venues fill up fast. Festivals and home football weekends also take up a lot of hotel rooms in the fall, so check the UNC football schedule and the local events calendar before setting your date.
"Make your plans early!" asserts Hillsborough resident Steven Petrow, Washington Post columnist and author of five books, including The New Gay Wedding: A Primer for Brides and Grooms, Their Friends and Families "Orange County is for lovers. Period."
Note: This information is for guidance only and should not be regarded as legal advice. State and county marriage license requirements frequently change, so it's crucial to verify all information with the Orange County register of deeds before making your wedding and travel plans.
Out in Chapel Hill-Carrboro (Southern OC)
If you favor destinations with lots of terrific food, a rich arts and music scene, or a variety of recreational opportunities, Orange County, N.C., deserves your consideration. Nestled in the rolling hills of the Carolina piedmont, this progressive community appeals to every vacationer's taste—and is one of the most welcoming sections of the state.
"We've had many friends from out of state joke that we live in 'Appalachia'," notes Hillsborough resident Steven Petrow, Washington Post columnist and author. "Of course, once they visit, they realize they're 100-percent wrong—and that Orange County is home to James Beard Award-winning restaurants; UNC, the oldest public university in the U.S.; and a host of this country's best writers—Allan Gurganus, Lee Smith, Daniel Wallace and so many more. Oh, and it's a county where gays and lesbians are right at home with everyone else. That's true equality."
A Welcoming Place
"Our community has a long-standing reputation as the most welcoming place in the state for the LGBTQ community," says Lydia Lavelle, the state's first openly lesbian mayor. (From 1995 to 2004, Carrboro was led by Mike Nelson, the first openly gay candidate elected mayor in North Carolina. "I always feel welcome anywhere I go in Carrboro or Chapel Hill—and this was the case before I became mayor!—and able to talk openly about my family and my life. This is not the case in many communities, and we recognize that we are so fortunate to feel so welcome and a part of the community here.
In fact, Orange County is currently home to half of the state's gay and lesbian elected officials, a trend that started in 1987, when Chapel Hill Town Council Member Joe Herzenberg became North Carolina's first openly gay elected official; the town's present mayor, Mark Kleinschmidt, is openly gay. Further proof of the community's values: "Carrboro has the oldest domestic partner registry in North Carolina and recently declared October 10 Marriage Equality Day in celebration of recent court decisions that brought marriage equality to North Carolina," explains Damon Seils, a Carrboro alderman. Chapel Hill also has a registry.
Experience Orange County
"Being a member of the LGBTQ community is no barrier to enjoying everything our community has to offer," Kleinschmidt says. "There are few…exclusively LGBTQ activities, but there are also no places where members of our community aren't welcome."
Here's a sampling of some of the things you can see and do in Orange County, N.C.:
Food & Drink: "Named as one of the foodiest towns in the U.S. by Bon Appetit, make sure you visit some of our award-winning restaurants and the South's only organic distillery," notes Kristen Smith, vice president for advocacy and engagement at the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce.
Favorite eateries include the James Beard-winning Lantern and Crook's Corner, and nominee Panciuto; plus the acclaimed Neal's Deli, ACME Food & Beverage Co., Allen & Sons, Talullas, Vimala's and Sage. Check out our local producers, too. Stop by the famed Maple View Dairy—which includes a store and agricultural education center—or one of the local Farmers Markets in Carrboro (the oldest and largest), Chapel Hill and Hillsborough. Fuel up at a friendly coffee house, like Caffé Driade or The Open Eye, which is also home to Carrboro Coffee Roasters. Prefer a more potent potable? TOPO Organic Spirits distills local ingredients into gin, vodka and moonshine whiskey; and three breweries (Mystery Brew Co, Steel String, and Carolina Brewery) create tasty craft brews for every season and palate. Popular bars include The Baxter Bar/Arcade, The Crunkleton and Pecadillo.
Entertainment & The Arts: Orange County has a vibrant arts and entertainment scene spanning the fine and cultural arts to crafts, music and comedy. "When the Bolshoi came to America, they came to New York and Chapel Hill," says Chapel Hill Town Council Member Lee Storrow. "And just this year Taylor Mac brought his show, 1910s – A 24 Decade History of Popular Music here. That says a lot about the general state of the arts in our community."
There's live music every night at our many clubs, including the famous Cat's Cradle. Take in a performance at The ArtsCenter, Playmakers Repertory Theatre or Memorial Hall. DSI Comedy Theatre keeps us laughing seven nights a week. The towns feature lots of public art, and there are myriad galleries, like FRANK and the N.C. Crafts Gallery, which you can patronize individually or en masse on the Carrboro-Chapel Hill Second Fridays Art Walk or Hillsborough's Last Fridays. Visit the Ackland Museum or see artisans at work during the Orange County Open Studio Tour each November.
Recreation: Orange County might host more festivals than any community in the nation. "All of these events give us the opportunity to highlight the wonderful community we live in, with all of our fabulous locally owned shops, galleries and restaurants, there's no better place in the Triangle," says local arts advocate and festival organizer Jackie Helvey.
Festivals celebrate local crafts, poetry, film, local food and more. The nationally acclaimed Comedy Arts Festival comes to town each February, and the famous Carrboro Music Festival takes over the final weekend of September. For a full list of festivals, visit Annual Events. Other diversions include the North Carolina Basketball Museum and the Morehead Planetarium, which are especially fun for families. Looking for a more active pursuit? Hike Occoneechee Mountain Preserve or the trails at the N.C. Botanical Garden (including a huge collection of carnivorous plants!). Stroll Montrose Gardens, the UNC Arborteum, Occoneechee Speedway Trail or Hillsborough Riverwalk. Bait your hook at University Lake or Cane Creek Reservoir, or pedal to your heart's content around town or farther afield.
Visit the New South
Whether you're ambling along our scenic downtown streets or rambling through the wooded hills, you'll find yourself in a unique Southern community. "It epitomizes 'The New South'," says Jen Jones, director of communications for EqualityNC. "It's a place of the future that welcomes diversity, embraces inclusivity, and is a gateway for native Tar Heels, wayward travelers and new transplants alike. Chapel Hill-Carrboro remains one of the most LGBTQ-friendly areas in North Carolina and across the South."
Petrow agrees. "I travel all over the country and gays and lesbians are 'tolerated' more and more just about everywhere, which is great. But here we're accepted," he says. "I've looked for a place like this to call home my entire life and now I don't plan to leave until my toes point up at the stars."Read Article
This part of Franklin Street—just before Chapel Hill turns into Carrboro—has a high concentration of fabulous Dining options, including 411 West, Sandwhich, West End Wine Bar, Elaine's, The Carolina Brewery, Tallulah's, Mint Indian Restaurant, Crook's Corner. If it's not meal time, check out the menus and make plans to come back later. If you need help, stop by the Visitors Center in West End.
The first stop in Carrboro is the historic Carr Mill Mall. A former textile mill, it is now filled with interesting shops, restaurants and Carrboro's own improvisational comedy theater. It's listed in the National registry of Historic places under its original name, The Alberta Complex.Read Article

OpenEMR came into existence in 1998 when as Ted Dziuba put it:
When I was 16 years old, myself and three friends spent a high school summer writing a piece of software. One of our group had a mother who was a physician in Cheshire CT, and we took it upon ourselves to write her an EMR system. The idea was that we could give the software away for free and charge for support. We called it MedicalPractice Professional. A couple of years go by and we keep hacking away on this project, eventually changing its name to OpenEMR, and forming a company around it called Synitech.
Ted Dziuba
Synitech continued developing OpenEMR until version 2.0. Around 2001 Synitech turned the OpenEMR project development and leadership over to Walt Pennington and PennFirm in San Diego, California. Walt Pennington's developers eventually broke off to form ClearHealth and Mr. Pennington transferred the source files of OpenEMR over to the SourceForge repository that he had opened in 2002. He gave the SourceForge administration rights to Rod Roark, Andres Pagalayan, and James Perry Jr. on March 9, 2005. The project page is still maintained at OpenEMR SourceForge Project Page. Currently Road Roark and Brady Miller are the project admins. Tony McCormick, Kevin Yeh and Stephen Boyd-Smith have commit privileges.
Open Source Medical Software (OSMS) was organized March 15th, 2005 as a non-profit to support and guide the OpenEMR project. The Board of Directors included Rod Roark, Andres Pagalayan, James Perry, Jr., Sam Bowen, David Herman, CPA. Later the board included Tony McCormick, Michael Brody, DPM, Chris Lucena, John Williams, Sena Palanasami, and Jason Morrill. Currently the officers of are Chairman, Sam Bowen, MD, Vice-Chair Rod Roark, Secretary Tony McCormick, and Treasurer David Herman. OSMS was modestly successful in raising some funds for the support of the OpenEMR project. This is included $2,500 donation from the Hickory Springs Corporation for the
purchase of a small server. The server is still operating and serves the the home web page for OSMS and for OEMR. OSMS gave guidance to the project and many of the early software development policies were worked out by Rod Roark, Andres Paglayan and James Perry, Jr in the early board meetings.
OSMS Board Meetings and Minutes
OEMR was incorporated as a non-profit company in 2010 with the purchase of supporting the OpenEMR project and to help distribute the software. OEMR received its 501(c)(3) non-profit status in July, 2010. The board of Direcors of OEMR represents a broader range of back grounds compared to the OSMS board which was mostly composed of software developers. The OEMR board consists of
Ron Beardon, Chairman (a banker), Greg Neuman, treasurer (an attorney), Tony McCormick, secretary (developer, vendor), Sam Bowen, MD executive director (OpenEMR user, Medical Doctor), David Herman, Jr., (CPA), Sena Palanasami (Developer), Jack Cahn, MD ("Country doctor"), Shameem Hameed (software developer, vendor), Nathan Diniro (recovering developer, writer), Art Eaton (boatwright), Kevin Yeh (developer, Medical Doctor).
The short range goals of OEMR were to get organized and start working in small teams to allow more to accomplished for the OpenEMR project. Currently there are teams working:
Web page development: Sara McCormick, Nate Deniro, Art Eaton, and Sam Bowen
Shared Governance: Nate Deniro, Art Eaton, Sam Bowen
Fund Raising: Nate Diniro, Art Eaton, Sam Bowen, Paula Atwood
Software development: Tony McCormick, Kevin Yeh, Art Eaton, Shameem Hameed, Sena Palanasami

Anvil is ready to give back. The legendary Canadian metal band got a second chance at fame a few years ago when their struggle to keep playing music became the successful 2008 documentary Anvil! The Story of Anvil. And while the members have enjoyed their newfound, late-coming triumph, it's time to "make a difference" – a popular sentiment shared amongst many artists, but just maybe by some who spent some time not making a whole lot of money for awhile.
In an interview at MusicFrenzy, Robb Reiner and Steve "Lips" Kudlow of Anvil discuss their next project, a concert in Jerusalem. A transcript of the interview went up on Facebook. For a quick summary, Lips said: "The selfish endeavor of making it for ourselves is pretty much done. We're living the dream. Now it's like, what can we do to change the world? We changed our world, but what can we do to change the world to make it a better place? There's a way to use your celebrity for really good things."
It's easy to understand how Reiner and Kudlow arrived at this decision. Since 1971, when George Harrison hosted the first big, musical benefit show The Concert for Bangladesh, musicians have been getting together to raise awareness, money – and, OK, their own profiles.
And while we can't always say that the world was changed for the better with these massive concerts, we can say that the music world was changed forever with every eclectic musical fusion.
Here are a few gems that you may have missed or forgotten over the years of these philanthropic musical outings:
On April 20, 1992 the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness was held at Wembley Stadium. The event featured many a Queen cover, including this rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody from the band with Elton John and Axl Rose. Watch for Rose's entrance at 3:15!
Officially it was called Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto. The July 30, 2003 concert was held to help revive Toronto after the SARS epidemic. Unoffically it was called "Stars 4 SARS", "SARSStock", "SARSfest", "SARS-a-palooza", the "SARS concert", and also "The Rolling Stones SARS Benefit Concert." During the show Mick Jagger invited Justin Timberlake on stage to help out on Miss You. It ended up being one of Timberlake's most horrible moments.
Live Earth was the contribution of Al Gore to the benefit concert legacy. More than 150 artists in 11 countries around the world shared the broadcast. For sheer amazingness it's hard to beat Spinal Tap's "Big Bottom." Here's guessing that every musician up on that stage lived the dream that day!

Church and State has been a personal Portland favorite of mine for a while. Nathaniel and Rachel make beautiful clothing, with smooth lines and subtle textures, and operate out of a studio in inner SE that is equipped with the perfect fire escape and downtown view. They also recently collaborated on the Pendleton Portland Collection, which is absolutely drool-worthy.

Volume: 23 Issue: 2 (Feb 2000)
Spotlight: Comfort is Key to Labtec's New Spaceball
First of all, the controller features a cushioned wristpad that quickly converts to either right- or left-hand use. (It is designed to work in conjunction with a traditional mouse.) And, the navigational ball in the middle of the pad is smaller than in previous Spaceball versions, which Labtec says provides greater control and comfort. Programmable function buttons are placed to the side of the ball to prevent the user from having to reach over to depress them (a source of physical stress). And a newly coated ball surface provides an easier grip and better control.
These little improvements, says the vendor, add up to big relief for CAD/CAM/CAE operators, computer animators and modelers, and almost anyone working in mouse-click intensive 3D applications. (The more mouse clicks, the better the chance for certain types of repetitive stress injuries).
Other features new to the 4000 FLX are an improved, 4th-generation PowerSensor (the proprietary technology behind the ball), enhanced 10-bit electronics for noise reduction and "driftless" action, and upgraded software that al lows for 23 customized, pro grammable software functions.
The Spaceball works with Unix and Windows 95/98/NT environments. The price is $695. (Labtec; Vancouver, WA; 360-896-2000;

Design Approach
"Living through the rearview mirror".
People may confuse this with 'living in the past', or being out of date. However, when you look in the rearview mirror you do not see what has gone past, you see what is coming. The rearview mirror is the foreseeable future. It is not the past at all.
Digital design requires a knowledge and understanding of current technologies and therefore a foresight of what is to come.
Art Direction
Web Design
UI Design
Idea Generation
Problem Solving
These days, it is impossible for any business to ignore design. But what is design? Is it a website? Is it a logo? Is it an iPhone app? It's so much more than that. It's a state of mind. It's an approach to a problem.
Many startups don't have the funding to have a designer on their team from the beginning, however do understand that design can become a valuable differentiator. I am extremely passionate about working with and being part of startups.
So pitch me your idea and let's see how we can work together!
