Abuse and Misuse of Personal Information
March 13, 2013
In this study, John Stephenson writes about the advances in technology that can provide a number of useful products and services that can either enhance or threaten personal privacy, depending on how these products or services are used and for what purpose. These goods raise serious concerns about privacy, which leaves policymakers looking for solutions, especially in the context of online privacy and biometric identification. In an effort to craft solutions to privacy concerns, experts argue that policymakers must exercise caution. Rushed and unconsidered solutions run the risk of limiting consumers and becoming unworkable. The study notes that when policymakers hear stories about consumers being tracked online and companies and governments collecting biometric information for various purposes, they feel compelled to act. However, they are quickly learning that addressing the potential for abuse and misuse of personal information is neither easy nor simple.

As my young son Emmett begins his path toward adulthood (yeah, he's got only 14 months on the job -- but time flies), I've found myself thinking long and hard about what I should tell him when it comes to being a "real man." Yes, a "real man" pees standing up. And yes, a "real man" should have his prostate checked annually after his 40th birthday.
But, to be honest, I long ago failed any traditional "real man" litmus tests. I've had multiple pedicures, I cry during "A Walk to Remember" (if only Landon's friends could see what's inside Jamie's heart ), I've broken a mere two bones (both ankles), I always remember my wife's birthday, I can't dunk, my alcoholic beverage of choice is a White Russian and I'm allergic to beer.
Luckily, as an ESPN.com columnist I really don't need to come up with original material. After all, I've accrued nearly 15 years of exposure to the greatest "real man" teachers in the entire world -- professional athletes.
Just think about it: What non-jockstrap-wearing human being ever -- literally, ever -- begins a straight-faced sentence with the words, "A real man "? I mean, we're in the 21st century here, long past the days of knights and princes and men swooping in from nowhere to save lowly damsels. Yet in the testosterone-packed, enlightenment-lite world of big-time sports, the phrase "a real man " is uttered, oh, 2,000 times per week. They're not joking.
According to those we root for, "real men" like Andrew Johns, "admit they're wrong" (the Rugby League star, after he was arrested for possessing an ecstasy tablet earlier this year); they "play football" (former Arkansas football coach Houston Nutt while describing his team's toughness); they "take the responsibility" of raising a baby and not demanding an abortion after impregnating someone (Fresno State running back Lonyae Miller); they "hit home runs at Petco Park" (Giants outfielder Dave Roberts); they "step up" when things aren't going well (Miami Heat assistant Ron Rothstein on his team's troubles); they "learn from their mistakes and move on" (former Florida State receiver Peter Warrick, who was arrested for shoplifting and now manages an Applebee's); they "play minor league baseball without whining" (Rickey Henderson joining the Newark Bears); they "block NFL linebackers and safeties" (Steelers receiver Santonio Holmes) and they "tutor" those trying to take their jobs (former Cardinals linebacker Ronald McKinnon, who, ahem, maintained his manhood but lost the gig).
Oh -- one more thing. If we are to judge the participants of modern professional sports by their actions, "real men" lack guts, courage, integrity, decency and the nerve to stand up for what is righteous when the cowards around them remain silent.
In major league baseball, the "real men" recently divided themselves into three unique camps: (A) Those "real men" who sought unfair, illegal advantages by consuming steroids and/or human growth hormones; (B) Those "real men" who didn't cheat but failed to defy the union and speak out against those ruining their game and (C) Those "real men" who "fessed up" and admitted their cheating ways after being caught, like Andy "Real Man" Pettitte and Brian "Real Man" Roberts. Not that anyone seems to mind. In the wake of an apology that read like late-'80s Hunter Thompson, Pettitte was praised as a "real man" by teammate Mariano Rivera, who appeared dazzled by the left-hander's gutsy ability to evoke remorse without really appearing remorseful.
Yet in the world of the "real man," Pettitte-Rivera is child's play.
Three years ago, when word of his grand jury testimony was leaked to the media, Yankee slugger Jason Giambi -- a "real man" with the tats and long hair to prove it -- held a press conference to announce that he was sorry for, uh, something bad that, uh, he, uh, shouldn't, uh, have, uh, done. (Giambi never actually said what he was sorry for, but we got the idea.) With rare exception, the 2000 AL MVP was given a free pass; George "Real Man" Steinbrenner even issued a statement reading, "It takes a hell of a big man to stand up and apologize to his teammates, to New York Yankee fans and to baseball fans everywhere and admit he was wrong."
In truth, were Giambi a "hell of a big man," wouldn't he have decided not to juice in the first place? Wouldn't he now present Frank Thomas, the runner-up to the 2000 MVP award, with his trophy? For that matter, if Steinbrenner were a "real man," wouldn't he have kicked Giambi to the curb with a curt statement reading, "Yankees don't cheat"?
Equally perplexing are the "real men" of the Atlanta Falcons, many of whom (rightly) shredded coach Bobby Petrino when he tiptoed out of town like a sewer rat to take over for Nutt at the University of Arkansas. Yet, at the same time quarterback Joey Harrington was uttering, "[Petrino] preached team and he preached family, and then he quit on us. That's not what a man does," one had to wonder where the "real men" were when it came to Michael Vick's drowning and electrocuting his dogs. Where were the "real men" and their outrage?
Where were the "real men" condemning acts of unimaginable cruelty?
Answer: They were busy being represented by "real man" receiver Roddy White, who in a recent game against the Saints showed off a T-shirt reading "FREE MIKE VICK." "Real men" don't quit hopeless coaching gigs -- but they willingly send 10,000 volts through a pit bull's skull.
Not that "real men" like Petrino warrant free passes. Indeed, high school, college and professional coaches happen to be this planet's most blatant distributors of "real man" rubbage. "Real men" hate to lose. "Real men" fight to the end. "Real men" stand up for their teammates. "Real men" put team above personal goals. "Real men" blah, blah, blah.
If a guarantee can be stated here, it is that Petrino and Alabama's Nick Saban made their fair share of "real men" speeches well before lying and leaving their jobs. So, one can assume, did Bill Belichick, whose "real man" pep talks carry far less oomph now that we know this "real man" is a "real cheater."
Truth is, the "real men" I know in sports are largely, ahem, women.
When's the last time a WNBA player waxed her dogs? When's the last time Jennie Finch or Tairia Mims was suspected of 'roiding up? Do legendary coaches like Kay Yow, Pat Summitt and C. Vivian Stringer spew "real man" nonsense, or do they simply rely on the old standards of class and dignity?
Take your Giambi, your Pettitte, your Vick, your Saban, your Petrino.
I'll continue to admire a "real man":
My mom.

Find the conditions on a, b, c, d which guarantee the graph of
the cubic
p(x) = ax3 + bx2 + cs + d has: (i) exactly two horizontal tangents
(ii) exactly one horizontal tangent
(iii) no horizontal tangents
i know to find the horizontal tangents, you set the derivative equal to zero
but i am uncertain as to how to describe the condition of a, b, c, d?
and in what case does the cubic only have 2/1/no horizontal tangent?

At the moment, most people's idea of the "Internet of Things" (IoT) doesn't stretch much beyond the fridge that texts them when the milk is going off, but SMEs have to take the technology seriously, experts warn.
In fact, recent research from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) called IoT the "quiet revolution...whose time has finally come". The study surveyed 779 global business leaders and found that 96 per cent expect their business to be using IoT in some respect by 2016, while three in five agree that companies that are slow to integrate IoT will fall behind their competition.
And while the EIU survey focused on executives from large companies, experts say that the IoT offers similar potential – and some of the same potential pitfalls – for SMEs. That's because the IoT doesn't just describe fridges or TVs that are connected to the internet, it encompasses a vast and growing network of interconnected products and devices – from industrial processes and radio frequency identification (RFID) chips to clothes, cars and appliances. That network is continually collecting valuable data that has the potential to fundamentally change the way SMEs work.
"The Internet of Things brings about an opportunity to measure, collect and analyse an ever-increasing variety of behavioural statistics, trends and actions that can allow businesses to better target their marketing and control their operations," says Mark Newman, a leading contributor and keynote chairman of the Broadband World Forum. "This is particularly important for SMEs in managing and reducing the costs of their overheads across a wide range of operational, product and service related functions."
Research firm Gartner thinks that by 2020 there will be 26 billion connected devices around the world. Some of them could be products produced by SMEs. For example, imagine sensors that tell you exactly where, when and how a product is used, and the implications of that for design and marketing. At the same time, think of a manufacturing process that feeds back information on component wear and tear and helps cut maintenance and running costs.
Duncan Ross, director of data science at data analysis company Teradata, has another example. Sensors in large shipping containers are nothing new, but they're becoming both increasingly sophisticated and cheaper, and soon any package might contain one. Companies will then have real-time data on where a package is and how often it is moved, improving logistical efficiency. A connected system in the warehouse could instantly link staff and packages, speeding delivery times.
In fact, the possibilities are endless. Tracking items, managing energy consumption, establishing a better communications network, monitoring processes or analysing customer behaviour are all benefits that the IoT can bring to SMEs.
"The potential for small businesses to take advantage will be huge," says Dr Chris Harding, director of interoperability for The Open Group. "On the one hand, there will be applications for particular industries that small businesses can take advantage of, such as remote central heating diagnostics for plumbers. On the other hand, there will be opportunities to develop such applications, or niche products using networked sensors that will lead to the birth of many new small businesses."
But while the possibilities of IoT may be real, the pitfalls are too. Companies need systems that can cope with the sheer quantity of data produced by IoT devices. Security is also an issue: some experts believe connected devices will be the weak link in any IT system's cyber security.
Nevertheless, Bert Oosterhof, director of technology EMEA at data integration company Informatica, says that no matter how small an enterprise is, it needs to be aware of IoT. "Ultimately, as more devices connect to the Internet of Things, your organisation will be able to delve into machine data and find out how to make your customers' lives better. Big data is an opportunity rather than a burden and this is especially applicable to smaller organisations."

Toyota Plaintiffs Challenge NASA Sudden-Acceleration Report
Lawyers representing hundreds of people suing Toyota Motor Corp. over incidents of sudden acceleration challenged a NASA report that found electronic flaws weren't the cause of problems that resulted in the recall of thousands of vehicles.
Plaintiffs' experts will contradict the findings in the NASA report, conducted for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and will prove Toyota's electronic throttle control system is the cause of sudden acceleration, lawyers said in court papers filed last week in Santa Ana, California, Federal Court.
Toyota, based in Toyota City, Japan, urged U.S. District Judge James V. Selna to take judicial notice of the findings. The NASA conclusions could then be used by Toyota as factually true during trials that are scheduled to begin in 2013.
"Toyota asks this court to take judicial notice of findings and conclusions by NASA and NHTSA that are hotly disputed in this litigation," Steve Berman, the plaintiffs' lawyer, wrote. "If this court took judicial notice of the disputed findings and conclusions, plaintiffs would be barred from challenging them in this litigation."
NASA concluded in the Feb, 8 report that incidents of unintended sudden acceleration in Toyota vehicles were rooted in mechanical flaws such as sticking accelerator pedals and floor mats that jammed the pedals or were caused by driver error.
Electronics Systems
The findings were cited in Toyota's court filings and news releases to support the automaker's contention that its electronics systems weren't at fault in hundreds of reported cases of sudden acceleration.
The NASA study wasn't expansive enough because engineers reviewed 280,000 lines of computer code from a total of 8 million in the automaker's electronic systems, the plaintiffs said.
The plaintiffs also cited crystalline structures that emanate from tinned surfaces, known as "tin whiskers," as a new cause of the unintended acceleration.
The microscopic particles "can create catastrophic problems in electronic components," the plaintiffs said. "Tin whiskers were implicated in the complete failure of three in-orbit commercial satellites,"
The cases are combined as In re Toyota Motor Corp. Unintended Acceleration Marketing, Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation, 8:10-ml-02151, U.S. District Court, Central District of California (Santa Ana).

Was it the war or the drugs or both?
i like this photo better than Guy Debord on the phone pole in Waking Life.
I'm out for today. See ya guys "after Midnight, we gonna let it all hang out"
I'm curious: what, exactly, distinguishes his 'performance art' from the symptoms of severe mental illness?
ha what a poser, fnarf was doing this in gold lame back in the day
Greg, don't you find it compelling to think that what we, in our eagerness to pathologize, might call "severe mental illness" could be seen in a different way? I'm not saying Kim Jones is insane, but if he were, I would admire him for re-signifying his unique perspective as "art," and I certainly wouldn't dismiss him because of it.
And after listening to the podcast, I am convinced he's not insane, but I'm also thinking of something Salvadore Dali once said: "The only difference between me and an insane person is that I'm not insane."
He's insane.
That boy needs therapy.
This reminds me of that man in Sweden who goes to music festivals and throws poo at people. Has anyone else heard of him? My friend almost got hit by one of his flying turds. I heard at another event he actually went INTO the port'a potty!
Now the security people look out for him, but he now has poo disciples! Oh the poo man. How I fear you.
Is this guy available this Saturday morning?
Have you heard about this recent performance art adventure?
On October 5, 2007 Kristin Lucas succeeded in legally changing her name from Kristin Sue Lucas to Kristin Sue Lucas.
In Alameda County Court, the presiding judge who granted the request said:
"So you have changed your name to exactly what it was before in the spirit of refreshing yourself as though you were a web page."
Talk to him? I don't want to come within a thousand yards of him. He belongs in a home.
And for the record, I have never smeared myself with shit nor set fire to any living thing (except myself a few times).
sorry for besmerching you, fnarf, i was talking about apearance of him on the poll, rather than the rest of his performance
Coming up next: Nosehair art by Richard Lee!!
Problem is that things like Pride, Burning Man, Folsom, How Weird, Solstice and Bay to Breakers have made things like mudman completely mundane. I doubt it'll weird out a single person these days. Now when you see a naked guy covered in pink paint with a duck on his head, riding a unicycle downtown it's like, "whatever."

Conservation eases gasoline crunch
Published: Monday, September 29, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 26, 2008 at 8:09 p.m.
To The Editor: We should congratulate ourselves. Americans have driven billions fewer miles over the past year. Lowering our consumption of gasoline has, in part, lowered the price of gasoline. I guess the economic rule of supply and demand is true.
As consumers in Western North Carolina, we have little direct influence over the oil supply but we have a great influence over demand. So I guess conservation really does work. It did not require new government regulations, a new bureaucracy, or an act of Congress. You would think Republican leaders would welcome such conservation measures.
When Sen. Obama mentioned tire inflation and tune ups as an example of a simple way for citizens to conserve large amounts of gasoline, Sen. McCain ridiculed and belittled the idea. Shouldnt someone who wants to do what is right for America and end our dependence on foreign oil welcome a positive and easy suggestion for conservation of oil and gasoline? Does driving less or properly inflating our tires solve the energy predicament we are in? No, and Sen. Obama clearly knows that. But conservation does work. We need leaders in Washington who embrace conservation, not ridicule it.

Band history still to come.
More Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
I still remember it exactly: one weekend in March 1994, Hawk was sitting in Metal-Keller in Kaiserslautern when his almost-namesake and boss of this badly lightened joint took him aside and asked: "Falk, next month WARGASM are playing here in our jerry-shop, you'll be there as well, right?" My question: "The WARGASM from Boston?" Answer: "Exactly them and if you are interested, their new CD will be yours for only 20 DM." Needless to say that Hawk seized the opportunity, after all the debut album "Why Play Around?" was already five years old. In the meantime there had only been a demo called "Gasm It".
Then the band finally released their second album via Massacre Records in 1993. They couldn't quite compete with the first disc, but nevertheless the CD kicked ass excessively (even today it still does). Especially the two speed anthems "Rudest Awakening" and "I Breathe Fire", the disc's two hits, are neck-breakers of highest quality and commitment. But the riff orgy "Ugly Is To The Bone", which sounds slightly disjointed and dashes straight forward, with its melodic chorus also rips like a little sandman. Not to forget the rock-hard, grooving "Dreadnaught Day" for which a video clip was shot.
But in general the CD lacked the relentless speed of "Why Play Around?", as most of the songs reach from very slow, like the psychotic "One Man Army" that is reminiscent of old MOTÖRHEAD, to mid-tempo crackers a la "Enemy Mine". Nevertheless, infernally intense riff squadrons which captivate the headbanger instantly have become a rarity. A re-union would really make sense here. And the concert on April 16th 1994 was one of the most ingenious gigs in my life!!! (Online October 17, 2004)

Rectal Prolapse
Rectal prolapse happens when loose tissue in the rectum slides downward. The loose tissue may partially or completely stick out of the anus.
Rectal prolapse is most common in young children and older female adults. Treatment for rectal prolapse depends on the type of prolapse. It may include changes in diet, medicines, or surgery.
Many conditions increase the risk for rectal prolapse. But the exact cause is usually hard to find.

Earlier, I talked about the transactional semantics we are introducing to MongoDB. As I hinted at the end of the post, we are actually doing more. We are introducing multi-statement transactions. That's right, multiple queries, updates, deletes, and inserts will be able to run inside of a single transaction. We are working on the details of the semantics as we develop our beta, but at a high level, think of it as having the same semantics as TokuDB and InnoDB's multi-statement transactions in MySQL.

- 1 14-ounce can nonfat sweetened condensed milk
- 1 vanilla bean

Was it dirt? was it pine tar?
Whatever the brownish substance was on N.Y. Yankees starter Michael Pineda's right hand in the early innings of Thursday's game against Boston in the Bronx, it was gone by the fifth.
That's why Boston manager John Farrell didn't point it out to the umps, he said after the Yankees' 4-1 win.
Maybe the fact that two of his starters, Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester, have been accused of using a foreign substance swayed him, too.
Pineda, who allowed one run in six innings while striking out seven, said afterward it was only dirt, moistened by sweat.

Turning Clocks Back Could Help Your Heart
The time change this weekend could be good for your heart. Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday. In Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine, Swedish researchers report they found fewer heart attacks the Monday after clocks were turned back an hour. They examined 20 years of records. The researchers said that moving the clocks ahead appeared to have the opposite effect.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne. It'll feel really good to sleep in a bit this Sunday. And it will do you good, too. In today's New England Journal of Medicine, Swedish researchers write that after looking at 20 years of records, they found fewer heart attacks the Monday after clocks went back an hour. Possibly, they write, because of that extra hour of sleep. They also found heart attacks went up in the spring in the days after losing that hour. It's Morning Edition.

A POTENTIALLY deadly bug has forced a ward to be closed at the hospital where Prince William and Kate are due to have their second child.
THE arrival of some pink paint at the Kate and William's home, coupled with the Duchess spotted buying pink baby clothes has sent speculation about the baby's sex into overdrive.
DESPITE still suffering from the effects of a rare form of morning sickness, the Duchess looked stunning as she arrived at a wildlife photographic awards ceremony in Kensington.
THE announcement of another royal baby on the way took our columnist Shari back to the days when she had two children under 16 months – and no servants on hand to help out.
TONY APPLETON'S traditional method of proclaiming the birth of the future king was not officially arranged, but has garnered him global attention.
IN a last-minute change of plan, Clarence House used Twitter to herald news of the royal birth.
THE Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were yesterday celebrating the birth of their first child, a bouncing baby boy who is now third in line to the throne.
KATE and Wills' first-born child is now third in line to the throne, and was born today at 4.24pm.
THE reported favourite names are Alexandra, if it is a girl, while Charles, Philip or George are contenders if it is a boy.
MELANIE reflects that despite the lavish millionaire lifestyle the two famous offspring will enjoy, the pair also face public scrutiny and dysfunctional family life.
MUM-TO-BE Kate Middleton is preparing to step out of the public eye today as she awaits the birth of her first child next month. Check out our picture gallery of her baby bump fashion.
THE DUKE and Duchess aim to turn their Sandringham Estate Georgian mansion, Anmer Hall, into a stylish home fit for a future king or queen.
AS Kate Middleton has every day of her pregnancy scrutinised, three new mums reveal why they wouldn't want to trade places with the Duchess.
WHILE the Middletons have been accused of cashing in on the arrival of the new Royal baby, Zara Phillips has admitted to never flying without her Samsung Galaxy.
THE new line of products for baby showers and naming parties have left the Middleton family open to accusations that they are trying to cash in on another royal occasion.
STARS such as Sir Ian McKellen and Cate Blanchett were joined by Prince William, though his wife Kate's morning sickness meant she couldn't make it.
JACINTHA SALDANHA's husband and teenager children will receive at least £320,000 in donations
MEL GREIG revealed how her first thought was whether Jacintha Saldanha was a mother and the pair insisted they never thought their call would ever have been put through to the ward.
WILLS said his wife appeared to be suffering from "all day and all night sickness" as he pulled out of the British Military Tournament.
THE Royals said they were deeply saddened to learn of Jacintha Saldanha's death, and praised the level of care she had delivered.
WILLIAM and Kate have said they were deeply saddened after it was revealed that Jacintha Saldanha had killed herself.
THE pregnant Duchess gave a brief smile to the waiting press as she left hospital after treatment for severe morning sickness.
THE Royal couple are said to be shocked that presenters from Sydney radio station 2Day FM managed to discover private details of pregnant Kate's condition.
THE Australian hoax callers were given an update on pregnant Kate's condition by nursing staff at London's King Edward VII hospital.
THE Duchess is spending her third day in hospital after suffering an extreme form of morning sickness that has left her exhausted and dehydrated.

The cremation took place within a walled compound where 90 Buddhist monks—one for each year of Sihanouk's life as counted by Cambodians—chanted around the flower-decked, gilt coffin. Getty Images … A man cries with a royal family photograph during the cremation day outside the Royal Palace. The former king's cremation ceremony comes on the fourth day of a seven-day royal funeral ceremony nearly four months after his death in Beijing last October. European Pressphoto Agency … King Sihanouk's widow, Queen Monique, King Norodom Sihamoni, left, and Prime Minister Hun Sen, right, attended a funeral procession for the late former king on Friday. Foreign leaders from 16 countries attended the cremation ceremony. Agence France-Presse/Getty Images … Cambodian mourners sit in a street in front of the crematorium where a coffin bearing the remains of King Norodom Sihanouk was placed before his cremation on Monday. The cremation was the climax of seven days of official mourning for Sihanouk, who was placed on the throne by the French as a teenager. Agence France-Presse/Getty Images … Cambodian onlookers watch as smoke rises from the crematorium to mark the beginning of the cremation. The $1.2 million crematorium, built just for this funeral, will be dismantled in keeping with Cambodian tradition. Agence France-Presse/Getty Images … Cambodian royal family members walked down a staircase toward a royal boat to drop the ashes of former King Norodom Sihanouk in the Mekong River on Tuesday, following his cremation Monday. Agence France-Presse/Getty Images … A mourner bought a badge with pictures of King Sihanouk, whose body had been lying in state since he died of a heart attack in Beijing on Oct. 15. Reuters … Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni mourns as he looks at his father's body at the crematorium in Phnom Penh. After the cremation, Sihamoni handed out gifts to some 400 prisoners he had earlier pardoned as part of the mourning for his father, who he said was 'in heaven, near the Lord Buddha, forever.' European Pressphoto Agency … A young Cambodian Buddhist monk holds a photograph of Norodom Sihanouk during the king's royal cremation ceremony. Sihanouk's elaborate funeral rites—mingling Hindu, Buddhist and animist traditions—were last seen 53 years ago with the death of his father, King Norodom Suramarit. European Pressphoto Agency … Cambodian mourners burn joss sticks near a portrait of the late former king during his cremation ceremony. Sihanouk was a significant political figure in Cambodia for nearly 60 years before abdicating in 2004 because of poor health. European Pressphoto Agency … Hundreds of Buddhist nuns waited in line at the Royal Palace to pay their respects to the late former king in Phnom Penh on Saturday. A larger-than-life character, Sihanouk directed films, composed music and led his own jazz band and palace soccer team. Associated Press … A bird flies past a poster of King Sihanouk. In the coming days, some of his ashes will be scattered near the confluence of the four rivers in Phnom Penh, while others will be put in an urn which, according to his wishes, will be placed on the grounds of the Royal Palace near those of his favorite daughter, who died at the age of 3.

My Dogs LOVE These!!
By OC Lynn
from Yorba Linda, CA
My dogs absolutely love the bully sticks! I appreciate that they are 100% natural. The bully sticks take longer to consume than the typical "treat", but they are a little pricey, so I tend to ration them out.
delicious but dangerous
By Desmond the dog
from Northampton, MA
My 10 lb poodle loved these, and they cleaned his teeth as well. I loved giving them to him until he broke a tooth chewing one. He hasn't touched it since, and for good reason. I wish they were a little easier for small dogs to chew!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Wikipedia talk:Mea culpa
|WikiProject Essays
Comments, corrections, and productive edits are welcome.
While I welcome improvements please try to stay within the original intended spirit of the essay. (1 == 2)Until 18:44, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Nice essay. Great idea. I made some minor fixes, but it looks good. :) SynergeticMaggot (talk) 03:20, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Spirit of the essay[edit]
The purpose of this essay is to offer kind, non-authoritarian, guidance to people who have made a mistake and wish to correct it. It should be useful as a link when acknowledging one's own mistakes, and good for people who have made a mistake and are not sure what to do.
This is not intended as a behavioral guide or any other kind of document that you might point someone to and tell them to follow. This is meant to be helpful advice, not a set of rules or even a description of best practices. Just one way to go about things. Remember, it means "my fault" not "your fault", and one of the primary reasons I chose that title is to ensure it is used self-referentially and not as a label given to others. (1 == 2)Until 19:10, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to stick my nose in. Here are some more clues that you might have made a mistake:
- Someone reverses your actions.
- Your actions had a consequence you did not anticipate.
- You acted in the throes of an emotional response.
Cheers, Bovlb (talk) 20:17, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I made another mistake today[edit]
And I did the debriefing part. I noticed I do that all time (did I mention I'm an expert at this? ;-) ), so I added that particular procedure here too. --Kim Bruning (talk) 08:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

So if you believe the hype circulating on the internet, Microsoft are close to confirming a deal with Yahoo. It is thought that the deal will be based upon revenue share rather than an outright acquisition and its still unclear how things will pan out (no change then!) – will yahoo sites now be 'powered by Bing'? will we see Advertising placements from Yahoo appear on Microsoft web real estate?
Its all still a little unclear but it would be a shame to waste the great efforts that Microsoft have gone to with the latest iteration of search engine, both the brand and function have been very well received and helped Microsoft to gain a little more share of the search market. – Perhaps this was the tipping point for the deal.
What ever the details; if this merger does go through it represents an interesting time for the consumer and in my eyes nothing but goodness. it will see Google with a genuine and worthy competitor and should see both parties 'up their game'. Perhaps we will see some of that innovative search technology come to market sooner. (or maybe Google will have to finally change their home page and UI to something a little more modern! :)
And in the time its taken me to write this, its happened!!
I will let the compilation talk for itself, but the techies among you will appreciate the size of this deepzoom compilation and the challenges in pulling it together…..

Skip to comments.ISLAMORADA - The Florida Keys
Posted on 03/20/2010 9:44:26 PM PDT by TheDailyChange
ISLAMORADA - In the Florida Keys?
Let me guess, its a vacation spot? Or is it a place where you and your family may get their heads cut off?
What's your guess?
It's a great place to go scuba diving! Been there myself more than a few times.
Beautiful, safe, great food, wonderful fishing, scuba, rather lay back if that's what you want, no rowdies but some great bars.
Its a great place place, get a good hotel though, some of them charge a lot but are nothing special, stick with a national chain.
Molasses Reef, off Key Largo, not far, for diving.
Morada Isle
Nice place for snorkeling. All the FRUITS and nuts in Monroe County are segregated to Key West.
I think it should be Isla Morada.
The Keys are fantastic, and in Islamorada and rest of the upper Keys, the natives tend to be conservative Republicans. McCain-Palin got about 60% of the vote there in November of 2008.
I'm missing your question; I know the obvious hook of Islamorada, paradise...what's your point?
>> Isla Morada.
Commonly pronounced "Is-mer-elda" or "I-love-my-radio" by tourists ;o)
We went there several years ago for New Years. Had a great time.
But I'll tell ya - I don't think I could live there year-round. There IS such a thing as too much cavier, you know!
My apologies over something this important!!!
What an odd thing to say? You are weird. What in the world would make you say such a thing? If you desire your head cut off I suggest you try Detroit or Chicago.
Sorry, it was the ISLAM part of it that through me off.
Thanks to everyone for setting me straight and educating me on this.
Sorry, it was the ISLAM part of it that through me off.
Thanks to everyone for setting me straight and educating me on this.
The only thing likely to lose their heads there are the fish once caught.
It's a really nice place if you like to fish, snorkel or dive. If you are not into fishing/snorkeling/diving there are nicer beaches on the west coast like Sanibel and Captive Island .
err Captiva
South Seas Islands Plantation.
Okay, now I get it.
Islamorada is made up of four separate and inhabitable islands: Plantation Key (southern end), Windley Key, Upper Matecumbe Key (the original community), and Lower Matecumbe Key. Dissatisfied with the County's bias toward Key West's financial interests, the residents of the area voted for self-incorporation in 1997 and officially renamed the area the "Village of Islands."
Legend has it that "Islamorada" means "Purple Isle," and that the name was given to the area by Spanish explorers who noticed a purple hue to the coastline. While the area is still affectionately referred to as such by some, the truth is the Islamorada was originally named "Island Home," after the Pinder Family's sailboat. They settled here in the 1870s after the area was homesteaded. Even though Islamorada has changed since the days of pineapple plantations and turtle farming, it is still a quaint fishing village in many ways.
Islamorada is also known as the "Sport Fishing Capital of the World" because for of the huge variety of game fish that call the local waters home. With fishing in the backcountry, on the reef and offshore, the most world fishing records have been set in Islamorada. It's no wonder that the Village supports the largest concentration of charter fishing boats in the entire Florida Keys (ca. 400 offshore captains and 150 backcountry guides) as a result. For more than 100 years, "real" anglers have known about Islamorada. Fishing fanspast and present—include Presidents Bush, Carter, Truman and Hoover, Zane Grey, Ted Williams, and Lou Gehrig.
Islamorada is also a destination point for divers because of the abundance of tropical marine life, the islands' proximity to the largest living reef in the contiguous US, and the variety of underwater attractions including shipwrecks and artificial reefs. Recently, the Florida Keys was awarded the title of "America's #1 Dive Destination."

Of particular importance, is to understand how drought will alter the species composition of regenerating temperate forests wherein symbiotic dinitrogen (N2)-fixing plants play a critical role. In experimental mesocosms we manipulated soil moisture to study the effect of drought on the physiology, growth and competitive interactions of four co-occurring North American tree species, one of which (Robinia pseudoacacia) is a symbiotic N2-fixer. We hypothesized that drought would reduce growth by decreasing stomatal conductance, hydraulic conductance and increasing the water use efficiency of species with larger diameter xylem vessel elements (Quercus rubra, R. pseudoacacia) relative to those with smaller elements (Acer rubrum and Liriodendron tulipifera). We further hypothesized that N2 fixation by R. pseudoacacia would decline with drought, reducing its competitive ability. Under drought, growth declined across all species; but, growth and physiological responses did not correspond to species' hydraulic architecture. Drought triggered an 80 % increase in nodule biomass and N accrual for R. pseudoacacia, improving its growth relative to other species. These results suggest that drought intensified soil N deficiency and that R. pseudoacacia's ability to fix N2 facilitated competition with non-fixing species when both water and N were limiting. Under scenarios of moderate drought, N2 fixation may alleviate the N constraints resulting from low soil moisture and improve competitive ability of N2-fixing species, and as a result, supply more new N to the ecosystem.
