Middle English: from Old French, from an alteration of Latin platea 'open space', from Greek plateia (hodos) 'broad (way)'.
If you have been to Italy or Spain you have probably visited the piazza or plaza of a town. These words have the same origin as English place and French place '(public) square', namely Latin platea 'open space', from Greek plateia hodos 'broad way'. From the early Middle Ages, when it was adopted from French, place superseded stow (found in place names such as Stow on the Wold and Padstow) and stead, as in Wanstead. The sense 'a space that can be occupied' developed in Middle English from this. The orderly person's mantra a place for everything and everything in its place goes back to the 17th century, but the modern formulation first appears in the 1840s in Captain Frederick Marryat's nautical yarn Masterman Ready: 'In a well-conducted man-of-war…every thing in its place, and there is a place for every thing.' In 1897 the German Chancellor Prince Bernhard von Bülow, made a speech in the Reichstag in which he declared, 'we desire to throw no one into the shade [in East Asia], but we also demand our place in the sun'. As a result the expression a place in the sun, 'a position of favour or advantage', has been associated with German nationalism. However, it is recorded much earlier, and is traceable back to the writings of the 17th-century French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal.
Words that rhyme with placeabase, ace, apace, backspace, base, bass, brace, case, chase, dace, efface, embrace, encase, enchase, enlace, face, grace, interlace, interspace, in-your-face, lace, mace, misplace, outface, outpace, pace, plaice, race, space, Thrace, trace, upper case

Shout-out for Oracle Cloud and Fusion Apps Multilingual Support: Pseudo-translation Explained
By Ultan O'Broin Oracle UX-Oracle Paas4SaaS-Oracle on Nov 21, 2013
Ever heard the acronym "MLS" used in the context of Oracle E-Business Suite, Fusion or Cloud Service applications, and wondered what it meant? It stands for Multilingual Support. The Fusion Applications Developer Relations blog has the architecture details and is worth a read.
The business significance of MLS, along with the applications' translations known as National Language Support (or NLS) versions, and the localizations support required for doing business in different countries and regions, is that Oracle customers can run applications in different ways to suit their business requirements.
MLS architecture provides for such requirements common in the business world as when a multi-national customer needs the same application to support a wide variety of national languages, countries or regions globally, or where a customer needs an application user interface in one national language (the language of business, English for example) but to needs enter, store, view, and publish data in other national languages. The applications can be patched easily and safely (see how the tables separate logic from translatable strings) too. You can read more about the subject in my blog on the Oracle E-Business Suite features and capabilities for global user experience.
Those "Ω'+++ '+++ '+Ø" characters you can see in the table in the developer relations blog are, in fact, the ends of what we call pseudo-translated strings. This technique of automatically padding, or adding extra, or special characters to source strings ones is used in development environments to simulate what happens when an application is translated and deployed globally.
Pseudo-translated strings simulate text expansion (strings usually get longer than the source U.S. English ones by varying lengths) and that nothing gets truncated or misplaced in the UI, are a check for multi-byte (now Unicode) character set support, bi-directionality (or Bi-Di) enablement (for Arabic and Hebrew languages, for example), and are used to detect hard-coded source strings that cannot be accessed by the translation tool (in other words, will be left in English).
The pseudo-translated version of the application must be tested in a suitable environment with realistic data by development teams and tools. If something breaks in the environment during this functional testing then it can be fixed before translation, rather than finding out the hard way, after implementation. Oracle applications uses pseudo-translation simulations for Latin character-based languages, Asian-based characters, and for Bi-Di ones too.
You can find out the basics of making internationalized and easily translatable enterprise applications that meet the needs of local workers and global businesses, and about using best practices such as pseudo-translation and more, in my SlideShare presentation delivered at the Action Week for Global Information Sharing at the Localisation Research Centre in Ireland, a few years ago.

Then and now
"Without affirmative action, its advocates claim, few black students would be able to get into college. In reality, there are today more black students in the University of California system and in the University of Texas system than there were before these systems ended affirmative action. These black students are simply distributed differently within both systems — no longer being mismatched with institutions whose standards they don't meet. They now have a better chance of graduating."
— Economist Thomas Sowell, April 2, 2003

An 18-year-old man died near Villa Grove in southwest Colorado early this morning after firing shots at deputies in Leadville and leading authorities on an 80-mile chase through three counties.
Jacob Vanderbeek of Leadville was shot after he was stopped by Colorado State Patrol officers this morning, said Betty Benson, spokeswoman for the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
"We're just not sure why he did this and we may never know," Benson said. "It's very bizarre and very sad."
None of the deputies or Colorado State Patrol troopers involved in the chase were struck by bullets or injured.

SAN JOSE -- Kimberly Estrada Chico was swiftly moving toward her lifelong aspirations for a nursing career.
The East San Jose native had a meticulous plan by the time she graduated from Independence High in 2012. This summer, she had a year of classes at San Jose State under her belt, qualified as a certified nursing assistant, and was working as a caregiver for adults with special needs.
"That was her dream job, becoming a nurse," said friend Yvonne Nguyen.
Chico's dream tragically ended early Saturday morning when she was hit by a stray bullet while riding in a car in downtown San Jose.
Her death has been described as a senseless and maddening case of wrong place, wrong time. When she was shot just before 2 a.m., the bars and clubs were just letting out, filling the streets and sidewalks with scores of patrons.
"When you hear about someone losing their life in a time of such great promise like Kimberly, it's a kick in the gut," said Councilman Sam Liccardo, whose district includes the downtown entertainment zone.
Chico was a passenger in a car traveling near South Second and East San Salvador streets when the bullet whistled into the vehicle, police said.
The driver, a 21-year-old man whose name was not released, stopped the car and called 911. Chico died at the hospital a short time later.
In her final moments, she was two blocks away from the school where she was chasing her nursing dream.
"One death by a homicide is too many but losing a promising young college student inflicts a unique emotional toll on a community," Liccardo said.
It marked the city's 30th homicide in 2013, in a year where overall violence and gang homicides have gone down while non-gang-related killings are on the rise. San Jose is on pace to surpass last year's total of 46 homicides, which was a two-decade high.
Police have not released any more details about the deadly shooting, other than to confirm Chico wasn't the target. She was initially identified by police as Kimberly Estrada. A correction was later issued, and relatives said her full name was Kimberly Joyce Estrada Chico.
For the time being, that's all that her mourning family members were willing to say; those reached by this newspaper said they weren't ready to talk about their fallen daughter, sister and cousin.
Chico grew up in East San Jose, attending Painter Elementary School off McKee Road, the next-door Sheppard Middle School and then Independence High.
Maaria Ubaidullah, 19, met Chico when the two were in the same third-grade class and followed each other to high school, where they became close friends.
"When it comes to school, she was always that straight-A student who always succeeded at everything she did," Ubaidullah said. "She made everything look easy. Getting A's in college is not easy. She made it look like the easiest thing ever."
Nguyen, another high school friend, said Chico "inspired a lot of people" with her determination to chase down her dream of becoming a nurse.
"By the age of 19, she achieved so much," Nguyen said.
Indeed, when Chico died, she was enrolled for the Fall 2013 semester. In July she completed a one-month certified nursing assistant course at the California College of Nursing in Milpitas, and passed a corresponding state exam. On top of that, she was working as an in-home caregiver with Santa Clara-based Life Services Alternatives, which serves adults with developmental disabilities.
That Chico's life seemed so full of promise has made it harder for her family and friends to come to grips with her sudden death, Nguyen among them.
"I thought it was a nightmare, and I wanted to wake up," Nguyen said. "It took a few days to really sink in. I had to be strong because she would probably tell me, you have to be strong."

A wise old waterfowler once told me that a duck call is one of the best conservation tools ever invented. Blow a call well, he explained, and you will bring ducks in close enough to clearly identify individual birds and make clean kills. Blow a call poorly, he continued, and most of the ducks you see will keep a safe distance from your blind.
Of course, most waterfowlers' calling ability falls somewhere in between these two extremes. Some days, many duck hunters can work wonders with a call, bringing flock after flock into their decoys. But other times, especially in bluebird weather, their same calling efforts are met with indifference or, even worse, hasten the departure of working flocks.
Even the best callers make mistakes, and these mistakes are what most often cost birds in the bag. In duck calling, as in so many endeavors, knowing what not to do can be as important as knowing what to do. On the following pages, Ducks Unlimited interviewed four of North America's best duck callers—Fred Zink, Rod Haydel, Christian Curtis, and Jim Ronquest—to find out the most common calling mistakes made by duck hunters and, more importantly, how to correct them.
Having won more than 20 duck and goose calling titles during his career, veteran Ohio call maker Fred Zink knows the value of good calling. Therefore, many hunters might be surprised to learn that Zink believes the most common mistake that separates good callers from average or bad callers is calling too much.
"A duck call should be used as a tool rather than just for making background noise," Zink says. "In areas where hunting pressure is intense, ducks get wise to calling pretty quickly because they hear it every day. Aggressive, continuous calling can work in migration areas or other locations where there are large concentrations of waterfowl, but in most of the places I hunt, less is more in regard to calling.
"You have to think of yourself as a duck hunter not just as a duck caller," Zink continues. "I use my duck call to draw in ducks and keep them interested in my decoys when they are unsure. I don't think of a duck call as some type of magical instrument that can mesmerize the birds. All the other aspects of duck hunting—being in the right place, setting a good decoy spread, and concealment—are more important than calling. But when a duck call is blown correctly at the right times, it can make the difference between success and failure. A duck call is the finisher, but everything else has to be in place for it to be effective."

PHOENIX -- If the A's exhibit as much skill, style and versatility on the field as they did in their first-ever player talent show Sunday, they may have no worries during the 2014 regular season.
Organized by new closer Jim Johnson, who staged similar shows with the Baltimore Orioles, the midmorning team talent contest -- held behind closed clubhouse doors in lieu of the usual morning workout -- was a huge success, according to manager Bob Melvin and several players.
Melvin said his players showed a surprising array of talent and said the timing of the event came just at the right time to ease the monotony of mid-spring.
"I've seen several of these over the years, but I can't remember a time when there was actually talent involved," the manager said. "Usually it's more laughing and booing somebody off the stage, where this was a very talented group, each and every guy. Jim Johnson said it best afterward, that we could have a fundraiser with the talent we saw today."
Shortstop prospect Addison Russell performed a dance that he concluded with a standing back flip. Pitcher Andrew Werner performed an original song he wrote about second baseman Eric Sogard. Outfielder Billy Burns juggled bats and balls. Outfielder Michael Taylor sang a song while playing a miniature piano. Pitcher A.J. Griffin played guitar and sang a song in Spanish with a trio of Latin players backing him.
But the surprise winner was infielder Jake Elmore, who performed a musical country/rap/pop panache while drumming on a table and alternating various hats. Elmore only dreamed up his routine the night before, but it was enough to upset the heavy pre-event favorite, catcher Stephen Vogt.
"I heard the pot was getting pretty big for the winner, so I figured I'd better get in," said Elmore.
Vogt, who so dominated two spring talent shows with Tampa Bay that he was banned from entering a third, re-enacted a "Saturday Night Live" routine of the late comedian Chris Farley. He wasn't upset in the least that he wound up second.
"I brought my A game today, and I nailed it, but at the end of the day, Jake Elmore's performance was better than mine," Vogt said. "Jake killed it. No one saw that coming at all."
No one saw Russell's back flip coming, either, which gave the staff a few heart palpitations.
"Maybe more so the training staff," Melvin said. "It was a little unexpected. When he's in midair, you're thinking, 'I hope he comes down in the right position here.' "
"I knew I had to land it," Russell said with a grin.
Werner's song about Sogard, entitled "Hashtag Eric Sogard," was the hard-luck loser. Werner said he worked on the song for two days and offered up the chorus: "Hashtag Eric Sogard, his glasses never fog / Chuck Norris thinks he's the boss, in his four eyes I get lost."
Melvin said he hopes the mid-spring show becomes an annual event, for more reasons than just laughs and high jinks.
"We have turnover here from year to year, so it definitely can act as a bonding type of deal," he said.
Straily, entering his second full year, said he is much more focused on detail work this spring during his outings.
"I definitely know what it takes now," he said. "Last year, coming into spring, it was completely foreign to me. I never had a spring training that lasted two months. I didn't really know how to prepare myself. This year, I had a lot better idea of what I needed to do."
Straily got support from Sogard, who made a gorgeous backhand glove flip of a ball up the middle to shortstop Jed Lowrie to start a double play, maybe the best infield play of the spring so far.
"If he can get that down, you'll see some defenses kind of shift around for him because he can do it," Melvin said. "That's the most comfortable we've seen him do that. He didn't stab at it."

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (October 14, 2012)--President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney were each forgoing time on the campaign trail for hours of intense debate preparation ahead of their next face-to-face meeting Tuesday night.
Mr. Obama, seeking to rebound from a dismal performance at the first debate, was huddling Sunday with advisers at a sprawling riverfront resort in Williamsburg, Va.
Romney retreated to his Boston-area home where he was working to replicate his commanding turn on the debate stage.
The days devoted to debate preparations underscore just how important the next face-off, which falls exactly three weeks from Election Day, is to both campaigns.
Millions of Americans are already casting their ballots through early voting, meaning there are few opportunities to recover from slip-ups in what remains an exceedingly close race.

EDMONTON - Following a 6-3 loss to the San Jose Sharks earlier this week, Head Coach Ralph Krueger and the Edmonton Oilers will be making some changes for tonight's game against the Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings.
Mark Fistric will be making his Oilers debut in place of Corey Potter. The Edmonton-born defenceman will be paired with veteran Ryan Whitney.
"He's a specialist. This League is about specialists," Krueger said. "We were unstable on the penalty kill last game. We see Mark as an elite penalty-killer and he brings more stability to that area with his positioning and physicality. We're certainly excited to see him and what he can bring. It's nothing against what Corey Potter's done. [Potter is] a multiple role player and can help us and can play up the lineup on the power-play and penalty kill. We want to get to know our group better by having Mark in tonight."
"It's going to be exciting. It's going to be a lot of fun to go out and compete with the guys," added Fistric. "There will be a lot of nerves playing in front of the hometown crowd and for the team I grew up watching, but I'm hoping as the game goes on, I'll settle in and get more comfortable."
Fistric was acquired from the Dallas Stars on Jan. 14 in exchange for a third-round pick. Coming into the shortened season, with a team and under a new system, the 26-year-old understood the process.
"There are a lot of quality D men on the team. I knew the situation of the lockout and the shortened camp with no exhibition games, it was going to be hard to come in and try and learn a whole new system. It was beneficial for me to sit and watch how the team plays.
"Being in Dallas, we saw LA a lot. Tonight is going to be a good measuring stick for us."
In other lineup news, Magnus Paajarvi has earned a promotion. The 21-year-old smooth-skating Swede will be bumped to the third line and will play alongside Shawn Horcoff and Ryan Smyth. As a result, Teemu Hartikainen will move down to the fourth unit with Lennart Petrell and Eric Belanger.
In addition to providing a "Finnish connection," as Krueger described, it's expected that Hartikainen will add a much-needed physical element left by the injured Eager.
"Having some speed there on the wing on either side of [Eric Belanger], who's really been playing a good game, will be a good thing. We're really happy with he depth we have on that line right now."
"There was an over-anxious and over-excited group on Tuesday vs. San Jose," Krueger said. "If you let your guard down against a team like that and you give up on your team defensive structure, you get punished.
"We got punished. That's what's been happening in games all across the NHL with the quick start to the year."
Los Angeles rolls into Rexall Place sporting an 0-2-0 record after losses to the Chicago Blackhawks (5-2) and Colorado Avalanche (3-1). The Kings' MVP, goaltender Jonathan Quick who notched 10 shutouts last year, currently has a 4.10 goals-against average and .849 save percentage.
It's unclear whether Quick or 24-year-old Jonathan Bernier will get the start in goal tonight. Either way, the Kings are coming in "pissed off."
"We have to bring that same mentality," said Sam Gagner. "We obviously didn't want to kick off our home schedule like that, so we're going to come out hard and be at our best tonight. We know what the Kings bring. They're the Stanley Cup Champions for a reason, so we're expecting a stiff test."
Gagner will continue to play alongside Ales Hemsky and rookie Nail Yakupov. Gagner, who has collected a pair of assists so far this season, says the chemistry between them is coming along.
"It's been good. The biggest thing right now is to continue to develop it," he said. "Obviously with the shortened camp and having no pre-season games, it's not easy to get on the same page right away. I've played with Ales in the past and while Nail is a new addition to the team and this League, he's an incredibly skilled player. For the most part me and Ales are passers and Nail's a sniper, so it's a good mix. It's only been two games but we can feel it getting better already, so I'm pretty well convinced we're going to keep getting better as we go along here."
If Tuesday is any indication, Gagner and Yakupov are already on the same page.
"I've been in this League for a while now and have had the chance to share in some special moments here in Edmonton. To be a part of Nail's [first-career NHL] goal was a great one. I don't think I've ever heard this building that loud before.
"Hopefully we can connect like that again. I'm sure we will."
Devan Dubnyk gets the start in goal. The 6-foot-5, 210-pound netminder allowed six goals on 17 shots Tuesday vs. San Jose.

Season series: Thursday's game marks the first of three meetings between the Los Angeles Kings and Edmonton Oilers. The Western Conference foes collide again at Rexall Place on Feb. 19 before closing their head-to-head slate April 6 at Staples Center. The clubs split their four-game series in 2011-12.
Big story: The defending Stanley Cup champion Kings are in search of their first win as they continue their three-game road trip with this stop in Edmonton. The Oilers hope to bounce back two days after a lopsided 6-3 home loss to the San Jose Sharks.
Team scope:
Kings: Last spring, the Kings became the first eighth-seeded team in League history to raise the Stanley Cup. Though their memorable postseason was defined by timely goal-scoring and stellar play by Jonathan Quick, their goaltender did not have much support during the regular season. The Kings sported the NHL's second-worst goals-per-game average (2.29; Minnesota Wild, 2.02).
Two games into this season, it's a similar story. The Kings have mustered three goals in two games, and Quick has struggled with eight goals allowed. They welcomed back leading scorer Anze Kopitar from injury for Tuesday's game, but were held off the scoreboard in the final two periods of a 3-1 loss at the Colorado Avalanche.
"Players are going to go through periods where they don't score," Kings coach Darryl Sutter told LAKingsInsider.com after practice Wednesday. "That's going to happen. We're just trying to get them there. It's one of those things with a 48-game schedule. It's not about what you did or what you think, it's about what you're doing."
Oilers: Rookie phenoms Nail Yakupov and Justin Schultz scored their first NHL goals in Edmonton's home opener Tuesday, but they were overshadowed in game that was virtually over after 20 minutes. San Jose's Logan Couture and Patrick Marleau each scored twice in the first period, and the Sharks chased Devan Dubnyk with six goals on 17 shots.
The Oilers want to use the defeat as motivation Thursday.
"We forgot what was going on behind us," Oilers defenseman Ladislav Smid told the team's website. "We forgot how to play defense. That's what happened and it can't happen again. It was a disaster."
Who's hot: The Kings' offense has been quiet, but it received a lift from its fourth line Tuesday. Kyle Clifford, who went pointless in three games last postseason, let L.A. open the scoring with a first-period goal. … Edmonton forward Jordan Eberle, who led the American Hockey League in scoring during the work stoppage, had two assists Tuesday after scoring a goal in the NHL season opener Sunday against the Vancouver Canucks.
Injury report: Kings defenseman Matt Greene (back) was placed on injured reserve this week and reportedly will miss the remainder of the season. Willie Mitchell (knee surgery) practiced this week and is with the team on its current road swing. … The Oilers are expected to be without Ben Eager (concussion), Andy Sutton (knee), Theo Peckham (hip flexor), Ryan Jones (eye) and Nikolai Khabibulin (hip).

Companies Awash in Cash. And Debt
Big corporates are awash in money. The market for junk bonds is booming. Equities have soared over the past few years. And developed economies are struggling to post positive growth.
Interestingly enough, all four facts are related.
Yes, companies are reluctant to reinvest their earnings and are instead hoarding their cash. But they're also restructuring their capital.
Companies are taking advantage of exceedingly low interest rates to swap out of more expensive equity capital and to lengthen the maturity of their borrowings. For instance, high-yield corporate bond and syndicated leverage loan issuance is growing at a record pace, while short-term debt has fallen sharply from the pre-crisis peak years.
Andrew Smithers, a respected pension fund consultant, has argued that U.S. corporate buying has been the major support of the equity market. "Companies have become the sole buyers of shares," he wrote last summer.
That's changed slightly with a return of retail investors to the market recently, but companies have continued to support their shares by way of purchases. Indeed, companies "have been distributing much more than 100% of the cash they generate from operations to their shareholders, either through dividends or share buy-backs" since at least the mid-1990s, he argued. That buying has been supported by ever-rising levels of corporate leverage.
Companies are stuffed with debt. U.S. non-financial commercial paper outstanding has exceeded the highs notched up around the time of the financial crisis and has more than doubled since the 2009 lows (data via the Sober Look blog).
Ironically, some of the biggest buyers of this debt are other corporations that have vast piles of cash on their balance sheets–commercial paper makes up more than 11% of corporate cash assets, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
By the end of the third quarter, U.S. non-financial businesses had $1.8 trillion in deposits and currency, up from $1.5 trillion in 2007, according to the Federal Reserve.
Mark Carney, the incoming Bank of England governor, has called these piles of corporate cash dead capital and others like Paul Krugman blame corporate hoarding of cash for exacerbating the economic downturn.
But the cash piles, recycled into Treasury bonds and other companies' corporate debt has helped to drive down yields and thus, theoretically, lowered the threshold above which companies generate a return on capital. And yet they're still reluctant to invest in expanding production. Why?
That's the trillion dollar question. It could be Keynes' animal spirits are still too muted, or it might have something to do with liquidity traps. But it could also be because companies don't see many investment opportunities that will be profitable in the long-term–say once interest rates start to normalize. This could be because the pace of innovation has slowed or because the structure of developed economies has changed–maybe because of widening wealth disparities.
If that's the case, if innovation has slowed, easy monetary policy won't solve the fundamental problem.

(WOMENSENEWS)--As invisible social problems go, gender discrimination in Massachusetts is downright ghostly.
In this seemingly progressive place where our liberal politics are routinely mocked by other states as too far left for even Karl Marx, it's hard to fathom that women as a class might be experiencing any inequality, much less the kind of blatant discrimination that, if it happened to racial or ethnic minorities, would have people marching in the streets and madly tweeting about the injustice of it all. But the truth, though well hidden, is ugly.
Massachusetts ranks 37th in the nation when it comes to pay equity. Women here take home only 77 cents for every dollar a man makes, even though we've had a law on the books requiring pay equity for women since 1945.
Even at the highest levels of justice, things are not equal for women because female administrative law judges in Massachusetts are being paid lower salaries than their less or equally qualified male colleagues. More than ironic, it's invisibility at its worst because administrative judges work for the executive branch of government, which means Gov. Deval Patrick is their boss, and Patrick has allowed female judges to be paid less than male judges for doing the exact same job. Yet Patrick holds himself out as a political leader dedicated to equality for all.
When a group of female judges told Patrick and his labor secretary, Joanne Goldstein, that the salary of a newly hired male judge was over $20,000 more than that of female judges who'd been doing the same work for years, "Governor Equality" did absolutely nothing.
Judge Vendetti's Case
The case of Judge Kalina Vendetti illustrates the administration's audacity. A middle-aged woman with impeccable credentials, Vendetti was hired in 2010 at the starting annual salary of $90,000. When she pointed out that she was being paid less than every other administrative judge who had recently been hired, she was repeatedly told it was an error, but after more than three years, there has been no correction.
Then in 2012, a brand new male judge named Michael Williams was hired with a starting salary of $101,500. Judge Williams was also given a premium downtown Boston parking space near his office. His starting salary, without the added value of the parking space, was greater than the salaries of at least three female judges who had many years on the job. Adding in the value of the parking space ($14,000), his total starting compensation package was worth more than that of all female judges doing the same work.
When asked why Williams was being paid so much more than everyone else, Labor Secretary Goldstein stated: "We have to pay him [Williams]; we don't have any black judges," according to a landmark civil rights lawsuit filed by a group of female judges, including a friend of mine who was a strong supporter of Patrick and is still stinging from his response to her concerns about pay equity for women.
Gender is apparently invisible even to Goldstein because she said nothing about the fact that one of the judges being paid much less than Williams is a black woman.
'More Than Empty Rhetoric'
In light of Goldstein's insulting response, Vendetti and her colleagues had no choice but to file suit. They hope not only to recover lost wages, but also to stop the practice of pay inequity for all women. To help them in their quest, state Rep. Tom Calter has introduced legislation that will make equal pay for women more than just empty rhetoric, though it remains to be seen whether other political leaders who claim to give a damn will support the proposal. Vendetti hopes the lawsuit will at least inspire people to hold elected officials accountable with their votes.
Building a more diverse work force is a noble goal, but giving a black male judge a higher salary than more experienced female judges, including black female judges, does not serve the public interest. It mocks core constitutional principles and legitimizes discrimination by denigrating women in robes who enforce the Constitution and do justice for all types of people every day in Massachusetts courtrooms.
The Patrick administration has not only disrespected the importance of pay equity for women, it has ignored the will of the people whose elected leaders voted for a law that requires administrative law judges to be paid the same starting salary irrespective of whether they wear brassieres to work.
And to think, Patrick may one day run for national office and bring his values to bear on an entire country.

so if this administration had done that, you would not be screaming bloody murder? Remember, he did it during Ramadan and it was not 1995, it was December 1998.

Operation Desert Fox didn't last very long, and I'm guessing that its primarily because Clinton had to concentrate on more presssing matters (the whole scandal with him and you know who). If that whole scandal didn't leak out...I wonder what would've happened with Desert Fox.

And where was the UN then? What did they have to say about it in 1995? Just curious, I was in high school and my adolescent problems were the most important things in my life at the time - I really don't know, which is what sucks - I have been scrambling for the past year to play catch-up because for most of the past 12 years I have been a kid and I wasn't really interested in foreign affairs.

Basically we are cleaning up a mess that should have been fixed by daddy bush and Clinton years ago. People are worried about the loss of innocent Iraqi lives, open your eyes people, that is already happening under Saddam. Saddam has broken UN resolutions 77 times over 12 years, how do we make him stop? Despite obvious deaths that will occur, in the long run, I believe this will help the people in Iraq.

I'm pretty sure most of the bombings back then, and all those "weekly" bombings by the US are in a concentrated, none populated area. It's stricly to damage Iraq's military and for easier recon.
Also the "where were you then" is so retarded, just because we were too young or ignorant at the time means we shouldn't be criticising Bush now, that's idiotic.

I think what's sad is that people are just realizing how powerless they are against the actions of their own gov't
it's been like this for awhile...bush is just the only one stupid enough to abuse it and rub in the world's face
9/11 woke up people for a bit...but as the flags started to dissapear, so did people's interest
If you think shit is sad now...I remember what it like before 9/11
and not much progress has been made...if it weren't for this war...sssshit people would have already forgotten who osama bin laden is

I am not talking directly to you people when I say "where were you?" In general, the backlash was no where near the reaction I am seeing today.

Andy Kaufman is still dead.
And his family is still weird.
Kaufman's brother Michael claimed Monday during the annual Andy Kaufman Awards at a New York comedy club, that he had a letter from his brother saying he faked his 1984 death. Then he brought a woman onstage who said she was Kaufman's daughter, born while he was in seclusion in 1989.
But on Thursday, Michael Kaufman told CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper" that he now thinks he was the victim of a hoax.
"Now that it's Thursday, not Monday anymore, I believe I am part of a hoax," Kaufman said in what was described as a bizarre, rambling interview where he spoke in a monotone similar to his brother.
"I don't believe she's acting on her own, though," Kaufman said, referring to the woman identified as the comedian's daughter. "But, you know, that's all I know."
According to CNN.com, Tapper pressed him: "Just to reiterate, you now don't think that it's true -- you think that this is a hoax and you were a victim of the hoax?"
"Correct," Kaufman said. He denied he was part of the hoax.
Somehow, while I didn't believe Andy Kaufman was alive Wednesday, now I think he must be.
The Smoking Gun reported the woman is an actress named Alexandra Tatarsky, whom Michael Kaufman met earlier this year at a Manhattan gallery and recruited to pose as his brother's daughter.
As the reports spread Thursday, the Los Angeles County Coroner rereleased Kaufman's death certificate. "Andy Kaufman is dead," the coroner's office said in a statement.
This is so bizarre.
TMZ said Kaufman's girlfriend at the time of his death, 56-year-old Lynne Margulies, told the website she was in the West Hollywood hospital room when Kaufman passed away at age 35 from a rare form of lung cancer. She said she watched him die.
"I was in the hospital room," Marguilies said. "I was there. They would have had to switch bodies."
He's totally alive. She's in on it.
CNN contacted Kaufman's manager, George Shapiro, was said he was also at the comedian's side at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center when he died. "Andy's very much alive in our hearts, but I don't think his body is around," Shapiro said. "He died. I was in the hospital."
Oh, and Michael Kaufman also told Tapper he was also his brother's deathbed. "I saw him emaciated. I saw him die."
This is weird.
Kaufman often talked about faking his own death. According to CNN, sightings of Kaufman's boorish character Tony Clifton were reported at comedy clubs following his death. Even some of his closest friends never quite believed Kaufman died.

STOCKTON - A woman died after she was struck by a car late Tuesday night in north Stockton, the Stockton Police Department said.
Officers responded to a report of an accident involving a pedestrian about 10:10 p.m. near East Hammer and West lanes. The woman suffered major injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The San Joaquin County Coroner's Office on Wednesday identified the woman as 25-year-old Mia Charles.
Traffic investigators were called to the scene to gather evidence, and the cause of the collision is still being investigated, police said.

Five Takeaways from Google's 4Q Earnings
Google reported its fourth-quarter earnings earlier today and this time, the news was a little more positive.
Google delivered $10.65 a share in net income — better than analysts' estimates of $10.47 a share. Revenue rose 36% to $14.4 billion, but excluding traffic acquisition costs, revenue was about $11.3 billion — that's below the $12.3 billion in ex-TAC revenue Wall Street was predicting.
The stock is soaring in extended trading. It's up more than 5% after Google reported its earnings.
The average cost that advertisers pay every time users clicked on ads is stabilizing. That number has been falling dramatically in recent quarters because of the increase in mobile ads, but in the fourth quarter cost-per-click fell only 6% on-year and even rose 2% from the third quarter.
The most recent quarter is an interesting one in Google's history, as there is a bit of a disconnect between Google and investors. Google had to come out and remind investors and analysts that its Motorola Home portion would not be included with its standard account. Here was what Google earlier this month:
For example, as of this writing, a majority of Wall Street analysts who cover Google have not reflected the Home business as discontinued operations in their estimates.
Q4 revenue would have been $15.24 billion had Motorola Home been included, Google said.
Here are a few takeaways from Google's earnings:
- Cost-per-click continues to fall, but it's stabilizing. It decreased approximately 6% over the fourth quarter of 2011 and increased approximately 2% over the third quarter of 2012. This could be attributable to the overwhelming shift to mobile devices, which is also affecting companies like Facebook and Zynga. Google's CPC fell 15% year-over-year in the third quarter.
- Still, Google's advertising revenue is up. "Advertising and other" revenue amounted to $12.9 billion, up about 22% year-over-year in the fourth quarter. Paid clicks increased about 24% in Q4 year-over-year and 9% quarter-over-quarter.
- Motorola Mobility brought in $1.51 billion in revenue. Google is reportedly working on a "Google X" phone, so we may soon see the fruits of its Motorola Mobility acquisition. Non-GAAP operating loss for Motorola Mobile in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $152 million.
- "Other costs of revenue" shows a particular spike. Other costs increased to $3.14 billion, or 22% of revenues, in Q4 2012, up from $1.25 billion, or 12% of revenues, in the Q4 2011. Chief financial officer Patrick Pichette said Google's increase in "other costs of revenue" was driven by content acquisition costs and hardware costs related to Google Play.
- Google is still plowing through Motorola's pipeline. There are 12 to 18 months worth of product pipeline that Google has to get through after its acquisition of Motorola Mobility.

It's been a crazy year here at Verve. As if opening Pacific avenue, the Seabright Roastery, hosting SWRBC, and tripling our staff weren't enough… we also had 4 babies! And it turns out that babies need stuff to wear, so we made these sweet little onesies. Obviously it was mostly for ourselves at first, but we thought it would only be fair to give everyone a shot to get one for their favorite little baby friend too. Here are a few photos from a shoot we did at the roastery last week. I think our verve moms set it up mostly because they wanted to hang out and drink cappuccinos together, but it turned into a pretty fun day here at the office.
If you are interested in a onesie, you can pick one up at our retail locations or on our webstore here.
Thanks to Amy Billings at Aim & Arrow for the great photos!

Louis vs. Schmeling II: More than a Fight, Pride of Black race hung on every punch 75 years ago
On June 22, 1938, two years after suffering the lone defeat of his prime at the hands of Schmeling — the German puncher who'd been cast as an example of Aryan supremacy — Joe Louis responded with an emphatic first-round knockout before more than 70,000 fans at Yankee Stadium. (AP Photo/File) by Avis Thomas-Lester (NNPA)–James "Winky" Camphor , of Baltimore is 86, but he remembers the fight like it happened yesterday. It was June 22, 1938 and more than 70,000 fight fans crowded into Yankee Stadium to witness a contest that was much more than a boxing bout. It was a grudge match—Black against White, African American versus Aryan, the so-called "Land of the Free" battling Nazi Germany.

BURLINGAME -- With a boost from players getting healthy, the Burlingame High football team has finished its regular season on a roll.
The Panthers won their third in a row Saturday and did so in emphatic fashion, beating rival San Mateo 41-13 in the 85th Little Big Game.
Burlingame (5-5) was a battered outfit at midseason, with a number of key players out with injuries. Fullback Joe Mahe was one of those, watching in street clothes because of an ankle injury as Burlingame was shut out twice during a three-game losing streak.
Mahe is back now and against San Mateo was the top offensive player on the field. He rushed for 169 yards on 23 carries and scored three touchdowns as the Panthers had an easy time of it, extending their lead in the series to 49-32-4.
"He told me, 'Give me the ball, coach.' I listened to him," Burlingame coach John Philipopolous said. "He runs hard and runs with pads low. I kept giving him the ball. Every week he's been getting better and better."
Burlingame has won three in a row, scoring 103 points in those wins. The Panthers, from the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division, dominated the line of scrimmage against PAL Lake member San Mateo. Burlingame outgained San Mateo 369-104 on the ground, averaging more than 7 yards per carry while limiting the Bearcats to just over 3 yards per carry.
"Hopefully we take it into next week," Philipopolous said, in reference to the Central Coast Section playoffs.
Mahe had 104 yards rushing in the first half as Burlingame opened a 20-0 lead. A nice time to have his best game.
"This is a very special moment," Mahe said. "It's not a game to remember for two days. This was a game to remember for life."
Mahe got the scoring started with a 2-yard TD run in the first quarter. Keoni Keahi's 14-yard run made it 13-0 in the second quarter, and quarterback Kevin Navas' first completion of the game went for a 51-yard touchdown to Evan Struck and made it 20-0 at halftime.
Both of Burlingame's pass completions went for touchdowns, as Navas connected with Mahe on a 7-yard TD pass in the third quarter.
Larry Campbell set up the first San Mateo touchdown with a 90-yard kickoff return. Campbell caught seven passes for 67 yards. Kevin Garcia-Rodela had 75 yards rushing for San Mateo (5-5) and scored a touchdown.
