So we've relaunched FSDaily.com
So we've relaunched FSDaily.com. Free Software Daily is a digg style news hub based on pligg. In our upcoming queue, we can boast more free software news articles than any other site. And it's up to you the readers to decide which ones are important enough to reach the homepage. If you haven't looked already, go and check it out and let us know how you feel about it...
Subscribed by rss
It's a nice site, I subscribed to it by rss. So I'll see it every time I check my google reader. :)
I've subscribed!
I'm subscribed to a number of RSS feeds already (among them Slashdot, Groklaw NewsPicks, and TechDirt), so not all the news are new to me by the time they appear on FSDaily. Nevertheless, sometimes I do find news that I haven't seen anywhere else.
And besides, it's great to have a news hub with "free" in the title, and not "open". ;-)
subscribed but then unsubscribed
i subscribed to it in my rss reader ("tiny tiny rss" or tt-rss), but after a week or so i unsubscribed.
why? too much noise. i don't know if anybody has found a good way to integrate rss with reader submitted/voted news sites (digg, etc). i don't want to wade through all the lowly rated stories in my rss reader, but only the highly rated ones. or at least i want to know which stories are which. but stories appear in the rss feed shortly after they are added (or at least that is how they appeared in my rss reader), which is too early in the voting process to make a "good" or "bad" determination. so i end up wading through tens of stories per day without the benefit of the community voting process.
maybe an updated-daily rss feed of the top rated stories from the previous day? that would give the stories some time to amass votes and earn a (initial) good/bad score.
because of the dynamics of a user voted news site, i don't know how to best combine an rss feed (static) with fsd (dynamic), but that what i saw with tt-rss and fsd didn't work for me.
I'm not really a newsie...
I'm not really a newsie most of the time, but this will definitely carry a lot of the news that I am interested in. I just put it in my top-level bookmarks.
Matthew Flaschen
I like the new FSDaily (never used the old one). Now, how about adding it to the link list below your own blogs (along with Delicious, Digg, etc.)?...
Looking into it
We're looking into it Matt. Thanks.

Subaru Recalls 633,000 Vehicles for Fire Risk
Subaru, the car-making unit of Fuji Heavy Industries, is recalling 633,842 vehicles to fix a potential electrical problem that could cause fires.
In a document filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company said the recall includes Legacy and Outback vehicles from the 2010 and 2011 model years, Tribeca SUVs from the 2006 through 2012 model years that were sold before January 2012, and certain 2009 through 2012 Forester SUVs sold before January 2012.
The affected vehicles may have been equipped with accessories called puddle lights designed to illuminate the area under the doors. A short circuit can develop when the lights or their connectors are exposed to road spray that contains road salt. This "electrolytic moisture" can contaminate the light's circuit board or the pins in their connectors.

Hi there,
A little background. 2 Marathons ten years ago. Working out past 3 years - no major running, just indoor hard interval training. This past summer, I developed tendinitis - (I started working out more and started running again.) I went to a very good Physical Therapist and after about 10 -12 sessions, he told me that he didn't know how else to help me. I've gone to a very good running store, they have suggested inserts, New Balance shoes for over-pronation. But still have the same problems.
The tendonitis goes away only if I limit how much I work out and no long distance running. And the only shoes that don't activate the tendonitis are Birkenstocks. I actually went to Disney World for 5 days, walked about 5/6 miles a day and had no problems. Then yesterday, I walked about 30 minutes in my Merrells and the tendinitis kicked backed in.
So any suggestions on shoes I can work out or run with? Or any other suggestions?
VMS-ONE.com, new innovative foot orthtic that does it all. Will help you with your tendonitis. I have pronation as well and if I dont wear these then I have knee pain. Thanks to these I can run with the best of them!
If you are only able to walk in sandals without pain, have you considered trying running in them? It's extreme, and you should ease into it very slowly, but it might make a difference if every shoe you have tried aggravates your tendinitis.
Check out Invisible Shoes and Luna Sandals. I've been experimenting with them and sharing the results in my blog.
2010 Space Coast Marathon 4:27:39
2011 Charleston Marathon 4:25:58
2011 Croom Fools Run 50k 6:16:51
2011 Marine Corps Marathon 4:24:48
2011 Jacksonville Bank Marathon 4:44:12 (4:45 Pace Leader)
2012 Florida Keys Ragnar Relay 28:20:47 (3rd place-Mixed Ultra)
Check it out - I'm bloggin'!
Hi! I don't think you mentioned where your tendinitis is occurring. That might be helpful to know for a better recommendation, but I would suggest trying a minimal shoe and starting learning the right stride and gait for you, slowly. I say this because: 1, the Birkenstock is ok for you and it has a negative heel cup, and 2, because the inserts for over-pronation don't seem to be working for you. I have had chronic knee pain for over 20 years and I can now run with no pain at all since I switched to the NB Minimus road. (I don't work for them!) My knee and also heel pain would act up again after only a few steps of walking or jogging in my other running and cross-training shoes, including other New Balance models, Asics, Reebok and Nike, so I got rid of them completely, won't even keep them for yard work .
I hope this helps. I never thought I'd be able to run again until a few months ago. Good Luck!!

Saturday, March 3 • 7 p.m. CT
American Bank Center (8,100) • Corpus Christi, Texas
RADIO: NewsRadio 1360 AM KKTX (Steven King)
LIVE STATS/VIDEO: GoIslanders.com
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's basketball team returns home for the final game of the 2011-12 season on Saturday night, when it hosts Central Arkansas for a 7 p.m. tipoff. The contest will be Senior Night, as the Islanders honor Chris Hawkins-Mast prior to his final game for A&M - Corpus Christi. It will also be Community and Military Appreciation Night, with ticket specials for military members and Coastal Bend residents. Steven King will call the game on NewsRadio 1360 KKTX starting with the Navy/Army Community Credit Union Pregame Show at 6:45.
Neither the Islanders nor the Bears will be heading to next week's Southland Conference Tournament, as the two squads are both 3-12 in league play this season. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi is coming off a hard-fought defeat at the hands of conference leader UT Arlington on Wednesday, while UCA most recently fell against UTSA. This marks the second straight season that the two teams have squared off to end the year, with the Islanders knocking off the Bears in Conway a season ago, posting a 76-69 victory.
• Freshman Johnathan Jordan notched five assists on Wednesday night, moving past Brian Evans (2002-03) for the Islanders' single-season assist record (134). The Houston native leads the Southland with 4.6 dimes per game on the year.
• Freshman Jake Kocher earned his second start of the season on Wednesday and he did not disappoint. The Austin native had a career-high 15 points and used his hustle to post three steals and four defensive rebounds in the contest.
• Chris Hawkins-Mast has averaged 13.2 points per game over his last 11 contests. With 18 on Wednesday at UTA, he has finished in double figures in five of the last six and seven of nine.
• A&M – Corpus Christi placed five players in double figures for the first time this season when the starting five all had 10 points or more last week against UTSA. The last time the Islanders did that was against UTA on March 2, 2011.
• The Islanders also saw two freshmen post double-doubles in the UTSA game, as Nate Maxey (10 points, 10 rebounds) and Johnathan Jordan (12 points, 10 assists) each posted their first career double-doubles in the contest. The last time two Islanders had double-doubles in the same game was last year against Bethune-Cookman (Demond Watt and Justin Reynolds).
Central Arkansas brings an 8-20 record and a 3-12 conference mark into Saturday's season finale. The Bears had a five-game winning streak from Nov. 22 through Dec. 7, but outside of that span have posted just three wins, all in league play. UCA has dropped 11 of its last 12 contests.
The Bears are led by LaQuentin Miles, who is fourth in the conference with his 14.8 points per game and has added 4.9 rebounds to go with a team-leading 54 steals. Jarvis Garner has averaged in double figures as well with 10.4 points, and his 6.1 boards lead the team.
Jake Kocher had a career-high 15 points and Chris Hawkins-Mast posted 18, but UT Arlington pulled away in the final four minutes for a 78-64 victory over the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's basketball team on Wednesday at the College Park Center. The Mavericks remained undefeated in conference play at 15-0 and improved to 23-6 overall with the win.
Kocher had an impressive game on both ends of the floor, using his hustle to create three steals and four defensive boards to go with his career-high in points. Johnathan Jordan posted five assists in the game to give him 134 on the season, a new Islanders record.
The Islanders have never lost to Central Arkansas, posting a 5-0 record against the Bears in program history. A&M - Corpus Christi is 2-0 in the American Bank Center against UCA and 3-0 in Conway. Three of the five games have been decided by seven points or fewer.
In last year's game, the Islanders took a 76-69 victory over the Bears in Conway. Demond Watt led the way with 20 points, but the Islanders got big contributions off the bench from Terence Jones (12 points) and Chris Hawkins-Mast (10).
Freshman Johnathan Jordan has shown tremendous poise for a player in his first year of college basketball, leading the Islanders offense from the point. And cementing his place in history, the 5-foot-10 Jordan has now set a new Islanders record for assists in a season, with 134.
The Houston native currently sits atop the Southland with 4.6 assists per game after tallying five assists at UTA on Wednesday night. He had a career-best 10 assists against UTSA last Wednesday, posting his first career double-double in the contest, delivering 12 points.
Among frosh, he entered the week 10th nationally with that assist average, just behind Michigan's Trey Burke and Kentucky's Marquis Teague. He was 89th overall in the nation in assists per game.
The diminutive Jordan, whose lack of height is offset partially by a 46-inch running vertical, took the single-season record from Brian Evans, who had 132 in the 2002-03 season.
Freshman Jake Kocher (pronounced KO-er) came to the Islanders with a reputation for being an outstanding outside shooter. He has shown promise in this area, as his 18 triples are third on the team this season.
But the quality that has become his identity is his unrelenting hustle. Though not the fleetest afoot, he makes up for it by diving for loose balls and outworking his opposition.
With Myron Dempsey sidelined due to injury at UTA, Kocher was called upon to make his second career start and his first since the opening week of the season. The Austin native responded in a big way, delivering an early three en route to a career-high 15 points to go with three steals and four defensive rebounds. He also had the team's only two fast-break points.
The graduate of St. Michael's is the leading high school scorer in Austin history with over 2,500 points.
The Islanders placed five players in double figures against UTSA on Feb. 22, the first time the team has done that since March 2, 2011. Terence Jones (26) led the way, but all five starters had 10-plus points in a losing effort. Each of the five converted at least four field goals as well, with the Islanders posting 70 of their 82 points from their starters. The Islanders have topped 70 points as a team just two other times.

Bone marrow transplantation is a procedure in which healthy stem cells are injected into your vein. Stem cells are very immature cells that produce blood cells. The new cells travel through your bloodstream to your bone marrow where they can begin producing healthy blood cells.
The transplant replaces those cells destroyed by radiation or chemotherapy treatment. Bone marrow transplantation may be performed using bone marrow from a donor or using your own stored bone marrow.
The newly injected cells should be free of cancer and able to produce healthy cells.
Stem cells are removed from your circulating bloodstream before chemotherapy or radiation treatment. They are replaced after treatment. Stem cells can mature into other types of blood cells.
This treatment allows you to receive high doses of chemotherapy or radiation. The transplanted stem cells then replace the healthy blood cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy or radiation.
Prior to removing the cells, you may be given medication to boost the number of stem cells in your blood. Stem cells are removed from your blood through a catheter placed in your neck or chest. Stem cells are separated from other cells as the blood moves through a machine. The process is called apheresis. The stem cells are stored and may receive treatment to kill any cancer cells that may be present. They are frozen until needed for transplant. The rest of the blood is returned to the body. The process usually takes between 4-5 hours.

I see your eyes going wide. "Jimmy Eat World!" you're yelling. "Good gravy, man! Are you mad?!" Quite possibly, yes. Though I maintain that has little to do with this review.
When I was sent "Invented" for review, at first, I sneered. I had the option to turn it down, and my gut reaction was that I would. And yet, here we all are now, sharing this together as I write it and you read it. What on the good earth might have possessed me to go forward with the review? I'm glad you asked (if you didn't ask, please humor me and pretend you did.)

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — During the cold winter months, many people use wood-burning or portable appliances for heating their homes, so it's important to remind ourselves of some simple heating safety tips during the winter months.According to the National Fire Protection Association, nearly half of all home-heating fires occur during the winter months."Most of these fires are preventable," said Chief Mike Brown of the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District. "We can reduce the number of home heating fires in our community by taking some simple precautions and using heating equipment properly."NFPA recommends some simple home heating safety tips, so folks can help keep our community safe and warm this winter:• Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from heating equipment, like the furnace, fireplace, wood stove, or portable space heater.• Have a three foot 'kid-free zone' around open fires and space heaters.• Never use your oven to heat your home.• Have a qualified professional install stationary space heating equipment according to the local codes and manufacturer's instructions. • Have heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional.• Remember to turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed.• Always use the right kind of fuel, specified by the manufacturer, for fuel burning space heaters. • Make sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop sparks from flying into the room.• Ashes should be cool before putting them in a metal container. Keep the container a safe distance away from your home.
• Please turn heaters off when you go to bed or leave the room.• Use only and purchase portable space heaters with an auto shut off so if they're tipped over they will shut off.• Place space heater on a solid, flat surface at least 3 feet away from anything that can burn.
• When refueling, allow the appliance to cool and refuel outside.• If the pilot light of your gas heater goes out, allow 5 minutes or more for the gas to go away before trying again, do not allow gas to accumulate, and light the match before you turn on the gas to the pilot to avoid risk of flashback. • To avoid a buildup of carbon monoxide, never use portable, un-vented space heaters in an enclosed building.
• Wood stoves should bear the label of a recognized testing laboratory.• In wood stoves, burn only dry, seasoned wood. In pellet stoves, burn only dry, seasoned wood pellets. • Please keep the doors of your wood stove closed unless loading or stoking the fire.Last but certainly not least, install smoke detectors in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home. Test smoke detectors monthly. Also install and maintain carbon monoxide alarms to avoid the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.— Submitted by the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District.

FREMONT -- Diagnosed with a degenerative muscle disease when he was only 10, Phillip Bennett found inspiration where others might have met only frustration.
The disease, Friedreich's ataxia, eventually robbed Bennett of his ability to walk, to speak and to care for himself. But he compensated by figuring out how to water-ski, becoming a shot-putter and graduating from college -- all with a joyful abandon that continues to inspire those he left behind when he died at age 27.
"There were a couple of times he wasn't sure if he wanted to live, but he ultimately decided that he was going to not only live, but live to the maximum and make every second count," said Jaime Richards, Bennett's former teacher and a writer who helped complete his 191-page book, "Living the Decision: A Pocket Guide to Cramming 72 Years into 27."
Bennett, of Fremont, died in February 2011, too soon to see the book's publication in December 2012.
Valerie Bennett said her son found inspiration from a piece of dialogue in "Lord of the Rings," the famed fantasy trilogy. "It's when Gandalf tells Frodo, 'All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you,'" she said. "Phillip's book is about how he lived with the time that was given him."
Bennett was an eighth-grader when Richards, then teaching U.S. history at Hopkins Junior High, met him in the late 1990s. By then, Bennett had started using a wheelchair to traverse long distances, and by the time he was 16, he needed it full time.
His parents, heartbroken by his diagnosis, enlisted the help of medical specialists and other patients' families in search of a cure. At the same time, their son embarked on a series of thrill-seeking adventures.
He started small with amusement park rides, and then left his wheelchair to rappel down mountainsides in Mt. Diablo State Park, equipped with little more than a rope and harness. At Moaning Cavern Adventure Park outside Angels Camp, he descended 180 feet in darkness.
Even as his motor skills declined, Bennett took up snow skiing, river rafting and spelunking. He relied on special equipment -- a chair and modified skis helped him water-ski -- that was provided by the nonprofit group Disabled Sports USA.
He even persuaded friends to join him sky diving, said Felice Barash, a longtime friend and former classmate who lives in San Diego.
"I said, 'Sure, Phil, I'll jump out of a plane with you,'" she said, laughing. "I was scared and freaked out, but he was pure excitement. He had no fear."
Barash and Bennett grew up in the Mission Ranch neighborhood and attended Mission San Jose High with a circle of friends that included Dane Lentz and Giancarlo Moats, buddies who pushed Bennett to school in his wheelchair and, when his class went on a party cruise on San Francisco Bay, carried him on deck.
They encouraged Bennett to join the high school track-and-field team and to compete with them in discus and shot put. Bennett had high expectations and got frustrated when he couldn't meet them. In time, friends said, he learned that as long as he competed, he might find it fulfilling. Lifting the shot from his wheelchair, he twice finished third in shot put competitions -- once when there were three competitors and another time when an athlete fouled out because his foot was over the line.
"It was even in the paper: '3rd, Bennett, MSJ'" Bennett wrote in his memoir. "I just sat there, taking it all in, unable to mask my smile."
Barash said Bennett's zest for life was unwavering, whether he was flying to New York City to watch the ball drop in Times Square on New Year's Eve or inviting her to join him on another fate-tempting adventure. "He was always plotting to do something interesting and crazy next, things he wanted to accomplish right here and now," she said.
Bennett was not immune to moments of despair. During high school, dressing himself became a struggle, and when he reached his early 20s, his mother had to start feeding him.
"We had to go through the five stages of grieving over and over each time he lost one of his motor skills," Valerie Bennett said. "We adjusted to a new reality when he could no longer feed or dress himself."
In 2008, he earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from San Jose State, where professors encouraged him to write. By then, his ability to speak and hear had severely deteriorated. His hands curled up and clenched, and in his final months, he could type only by using a special computer program that responded when he dragged a finger over the keyboard, Valerie Bennett said.
"That was so hard to watch because he had so much to say and it became so hard for him to say it," she said.
He was about 65 percent finished with his memoir when he ran out of time. Richards and his mother finished the story, pulling together his chapters along with memories from family and friends.
The book was self-published in December. Proceeds are going to the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance, a nonprofit aiming to find a cure, and to the Phillip Bennett Translational Research Award, a six-figure grant awarded each year to a medical researcher.
The book ends with an afterword subtitled "Five lessons Phil would want you to learn." It's the fifth and final lesson that might best capture the spirit that filled his short life.
"All of our lives are finite. Stop living like you have forever," Bennett wrote. "Plan for the future, but don't forget to sometimes live like you don't have one."

A Houseworks innovation has fine-tuned the concept of battery-operated dollhouse lighting! This well designed, high-quality brass/metal fixture has a smaller battery case which unscrews to access a smaller battery. Everything has been made even easier because the base is magnetized! To install, just glue the tiny metal backplate where you want the fixture and the magnet on the light will keep it in place. The magnets are strong enough to hold but light enough to remove to operate the on/off switch or change the battery. No more fumbling with a permanently installed tiny fixture! The 3V lithium battery which is included is replaceable with #2300. The 3V lithium battery will last approximately 50 hours. The LED is not replaceable but will burn for about 4,000 hours and put out much less heat than traditional bulbs.
Kingston Ceiling Light has a brass base with an etched clear globe.

Scale: 1/12
Assembly Required:
No1/12 scale, also referred to as one-inch scale (or 1" scale), means 1 inch = 1 foot
So disappointed in this light fixture. The brightness of the bulb is a sickly green and it barely gives enough light to the kitchen to see the appliances. But the magnets are strong and it does remove easily to turn on and off.
This light is so cute and lights up nicely and easy to use. Much easier than wiring a entire dollhouse!

Three years after a deadly head-on collision, and the man accused hasn't seen his day in court. The waiting game continues.
An MCG researcher accused of causing a deadly head on crash in 2003 is back in jail.
Judge Carlisle Overstreet issued a bench warrant for Dr. Mohammad Behzadian when he failed to show up for a previous court appearance.
And with his trial set to begin today, supporters of Dr. Behzadian say he is being treated unfairly.
Family and friends of MCG researcher Dr. Mohammed Behzadian are concerned about his defense.
"He didn't specifically say anything. I think we both wonder if he's being represented adequately," says Dr. Barry Whitney, who worked with Dr. Behzadian.
Dr. Behzadian was arrested on a bench warrant for not appearing in court.
"His lawyer apparently didn't tell him he was supposed to show up in court at least twice," Dr. Whitney says.
Family and friends were in court Monday, as Dr. Behzadian's trial was one of two on the calendar.
He's accused of killing 18-year-old Lakeside High School senior Brandon Layton on River Watch Parkway back in 2003.
"It was just an unfortunate accident," Dr. Whitney says. "It's a terrible intersection. If you've been there you know it's still a terrible intersection. It's not marked."
He was charged with driving under the influence and driving on the wrong side of the road.
Dr. Behzadian's friends don't think this is the case.
"He should not be charged with DUI," says Dr. Whitney. What should he be charged with? "Whatever you get charged with in an accident," Dr. Whitney says.
But Brandon Layton's mother says Dr. Behzadian must pay the price.
"I made a promise to my son in that hospital that night that momma would not let this man get away with having killed him," Kathy Layton says.
Two families torn apart.
"There's always going to be a hole in my heart forever," says Layton.
"It's destroyed the life of the families. It's destroying the life of his family," says Dr. Whitney.
We spoke with Dr. Behzadian's attorney Mike Garrett.
When asked if he told his client that he had to be in court, he said he was under the impression that he or his client did not have to appear in court on one occasion.
There is no word yet on when the trial will begin.

PLEASANTON -- Shares of Workday rocketed 74 percent higher Friday in a red-hot trading debut for the cloud software company following its $637 million initial public offering, a successful launch for the biggest high-tech IPO since Facebook.
"It's a great validation of all the hard work that our employees have put in over the last seven years," Aneel Bhusri, Workday's co-founder and co-CEO, said in a telephone interview with this newspaper. "Everybody is excited about this."
Pleasanton-based Workday closed at $48.69, up 73.9 percent from the IPO price of $28. After the first day of trading, the company wound up with a market value of $7.8 billion.
The $28 IPO pricing was well above the price the company had indicated just days earlier. When Workday filed in August to go public, it said it hoped its IPO would raise $400 million, much less than the $637 million it ended up raising.
"The additional money from the IPO will help us grow and expand," Chief Financial Officer Mark Peek said in a phone interview with this paper. "We have been hiring on a fairly aggressive clip and we expect that to continue. We expect to hire about 400 to 500 people by the end of 2013."
Many of the new hires are expected to work in Pleasanton and San Francisco, as well as at a large Workday center in Ireland. The company has more than 1,500 employees now.
"We see a big opportunity for global expansion," Bhusri said. "Over 90 percent of our sales now are from the United States and North America."
At the opening, Workday, trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol WDAY, hit $48.05.
"A spectacular pop" was how Daniel Sweet, a partner at IPO Boutique, described the market debut.
Workday commands an edge over more stodgy rivals such as Oracle (ORCL), IBM and SAP, some analysts assert, because it offers its human resources software through a Web-based system dubbed the cloud. The traditional approach obliges customers to buy expensive licenses and endure complex installs.
"Workday will continue to do well," said Rob Enderle, a San Jose-based tech market researcher. "There is not a lot of fluff there. Workday is solid."
Bhusri described his company's sizzling debut as "just a step along the way."
"This is just the start of the shift from the enterprise world to the cloud world," he said. "There is a lot more work to do. A lot more to accomplish."
The amount Workday raised makes its offering the largest IPO by a cloud computing firm -- and the largest market debut by a tech company of any kind since the IPO for Menlo Park-based Facebook, a social network, analysts said.
"In all, a winning day for Workday, its investors and employees," Sam Hamadeh of independent data analysis firm PrivCo said.
Facebook debuted in May, but the IPO was bungled, hobbling the IPO sector. But now some observers believe the IPO market has begun to heal, thanks to successful IPOs by Workday and other companies.
Bhusri and co-CEO David Duffield founded Workday in 2005 after leaving PeopleSoft, which Duffield founded, following its hostile takeover by Oracle.
"Workday has CEOs and leaders who have a successful track record," said Tim Bajarin, principal analyst with Campbell-based Creative Strategies. "Some of the gains is people betting on Dave Duffield. The market believes Workday's competitors will move much more slowly than a startup like Workday."
Workday got "a well deserved premium valuation as the market bets that lightning can strike twice for Dave Duffield," Hamadeh said in an email. Bhusri also gave a nod to his co-CEO. "I feel lucky to have crossed paths with Dave Duffield," he said.
Workday's revenues the past three fiscal years, respectively, were $25.2 million, $68.1 million and $134.4 million. In the first six months of fiscal 2012, Workday lost $47.3 million on sales of $119.5 million.
Bhusri said he and Duffield were nervous as they prepared to ring the bell to launch the trading for Workday.
"It was a relief to see the stock take off," Bhusri said. "We feel we priced it right for the investors."

TZUpdater for JDK 7 available (again)
By Henrik Stahl on Jun 10, 2013
The Timezone Updater Tool (aka TZUpdater) is available for public download from OTN [1] again.
On March 8, 2013, as part of maintenance tied to the end of public updates for Oracle JDK 6, the "Timezone Updater Tool" [2] was removed from OTN, with just a short note that this tool was now only available for Oracle Java SE Support customers. An unintentional side effect of this change was that it became impossible to keep Oracle JDK 7 up to date without a support contract, which is not in line with our policy: The most recent version of the Oracle JDK will always be available royalty free (including any tools required to keep it up to date).
The function of the TZUpdater tool is to enable an Oracle JDK or JRE user to patch their installation with the most recent timezone data. Our goal is to make sure that the most recent version of the JDK and JRE always contain the most recent timezone data, so that there is rarely need for a separate TZUpdater tool - you just upgrade to the most recent JDK/JRE. However, this is not always possible given the timing of the timezone updates and has specifically not been true over the past several months. We are reviewing our development process to determine what guarantees we can put in place for the gap between a timezone update and it being available in a public JDK/JRE release, and will also continue to make TZUpdater available for the most recent JDK version whenever it is needed to keep the most current JDK/JRE up to date.
For users who require updates and supportability tools for older versions of the Oracle JDK, we continue to recommended Java SE Support [3] which provides long term support.
To all of those in the Java community who were affected by this, we apologize for any confusion or inconvenience we caused, and we are grateful to those of you who reached out to us directly to bring this to our attention. As always, several Java User Group leaders and Java Champions were diligent and helpful - Stephen Colebourne, in particular, provided detailed, helpful technical analysis from a community perspective.

Spartanburg man charged with attempted murder
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 2:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 2:19 p.m.
A Spartanburg man accused of shooting another man in the leg has been charged with attempted murder.
A witness identified Kaleaf Tyrone Taylor, 36, of D-5 345 Bryant Road, as the suspect in a shooting that occurred Thursday night at 119 Saddle Ridge Drive in Inman, according to an incident report. Taylor has been charged with attempted murder, discharging a firearm into a dwelling and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.
Spartanburg County sheriff's deputies responded to the Citgo Corner Mart at the intersection of Asheville Highway and Interstate 26, where the shooting victim had been driven. Emergency responders treated him there before he was taken to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, according to the incident report.
The victim was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, Lt. Tony Ivey said in a written statement. The shooting appears to be a dispute over drugs, Ivey said.
The victim said a man he knows as "Short" shot him at a trailer in Inman. An officer went to the incident scene and found five people inside the residence who said no one had been shot.
A weapon and what appeared to be crack cocaine were found inside a residence where a witness told officers Taylor went after the shooting.
A person in a nearby residence said their home was shot during the incident.

The Vail Valley Theatre Company (VVTC) has begun rehearsals for their next production, which will take the stage in October. The talented cast and crew of "Company," by the acclaimed Stephen Sondheim, have already committed countless hours to singing, staging and memorizing the complex music and lyrics of this Tony-award winning musical. "Company" revolves around the character Robert, otherwise known as "Bob, Bobby, Robby, Robbo" and a slew of other nicknames. Played by Lance Schober, Robert is a single man celebrating his 35th birthday surrounded by his best friends, five married couples. Through a series of vignettes featuring Robert's married friends and his three girlfriends, the audience will explore the many facets of a "loving" relationship. Does a person really just need "Company" or is there more to "being alive"?'Step outside my comfort zone'Meet our first married couple: Sarah and Harry. Sarah is played by Robin Smart, and Harry by long-time local entertainer, Don Watson. This couple proves that when two people have been together as long as they have, they know each other's vices inside and out (namely bourbon and chocolate), they challenge each other's honesty (Harry calls Sarah out to perform what she's learned at her Karate classes), and they show the audience it's the little things you do together that make marriage a joy.Watson, who was raised in Ohio and New York, is a 32-year local and will celebrate his 50th year as an aprs-ski entertainer this season. As a seasoned performer and composer, he still loves to learn new music, and dedicates his free time to local theater."I have a need to step outside my comfort zone as an artist. It's fun," he said. "I can connect with this show as I've been married. I am currently single. Married is better!"Smart, a Metro Denver native, has lived in the Vail Valley for more than 8 years and works as the project director for Wayfinder. She is having a great time in her first production with VVTC. "Music and the arts are the very things that knit all intellectual pursuits with relationships and, more importantly, our culture," she said. "Nothing supports inter-disciplinary learning, professional poise, powerful communication and self-confidence like participation in music, art and drama."They both are having fun staging the Karate match, but you'll have to go see the show to find out who wins.'My turn'Next, enter Susan played by Heather Lemon, a long-time local realtor with Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate, and Peter, played by Todd Frye, a nurse case manager at the Vail Valley Medical Center. Susan and Peter completely confuse their single friend, Robert, when they admit they chose to get a divorce in order to stay happily together. Frye, who has lived in the Vail Valley since 2006, says he can relate to Peter."I met my first wife doing a community theater musical in my home state of Oklahoma. She was the piano player. We're not married anymore, but we get along great! Kind of like Susan and Peter, our relationship is bizarre but happy."Though Lemon has served on the VVTC board since 2008, this is her first time on the stage. She studied speech and theater in high school and college and initially chose law as a profession before going into real estate sales. "My three children were raised here in the Vail Valley and are all performers," she said. "I always encouraged their involvement with our local theater. Now they are grown and I decided it was my turn to audition. My character, Susan, is a fun, independent woman and a joy to play. It's great working with all the talented people here in the valley."Stay tuned to this weekly column to meet the rest of the cast and crew of "Company." They are bursting with talent and you never know, your neighbor might just be a star!

Some people consider physician Wouter Basson South Africa's Josef Mengele. During the 1998 Truth and Reconciliation hearings on Project Coast, South Africa's apartheid-era chemical and biowarfare programs, Schalk Janse van Rensburg, a veterinarian, stated that Basson, the program's head, wanted to devise a way to kill individuals that would appear undetectable to a forensics laboratory. Van Rensburg confirmed that a front company for the South African bioweapons program produced coffee chocolates with anthrax, peppermints with cyanide, and beer with botulinum toxin.
Similarly, Adrian Jacobus Goosen, a veterinarian involved in the research, testified that Basson once told him, "One day when the black people take over the country, and my daughter asks me, 'Daddy what did you do to prevent this?' my conscience would be clean." Jack Bothma, an orthopedic surgeon and former colleague, claimed that after experimenting on three black prisoners with an ointment in 1983, he and Basson injected them with a lethal drug before loading their bodies into a plane to be dumped into the Indian Ocean.
When prejudice leads to the physical, psychological, sociological, economic, and/or political trauma to those belonging to the 'outside' group, it's pathological and dangerous."
For these and other alleged deeds, in the late 1990s, the South African government charged Basson with 61 counts of murder, fraud, and drug trafficking. His trial lasted two years, and ultimately, he was acquitted of all charges.
Sadly, Basson isn't the first physician to be accused of such atrocities.
Earlier biowarfare programs
Germany developed one of the world's earliest biowarfare programs during World War I, which Robert Koenig documented in his book, The Fourth Horseman. Horses and mules were the intended targets because the military relied on them for transportation.
The lead scientist was Anton Dilger, an American-born, German-educated physician who conducted biowarfare research in the basement of a house in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Koenig described Dilger as a fervent German supporter, extremely cultured, extroverted, and attractive. He didn't have any personal prejudices against any particular group, and his biowarfare efforts focused solely on animals--i.e., injecting guinea pigs with glanders to test its effectiveness at killing. His efforts appeared to be somewhat successful since horses en route from the United States to Britain had to be thrown overboard because they were sick with glanders.
During World War II, Ishii Shiro, a Japanese physician, convinced his superiors that a bioweapons program would be strategic and cost-effective. Once given the go-ahead, Ishii built up a massive program, including the notorious Unit 731 in Ping Fan, where Ishii's experiments on humans included studies on frostbite, poisons, and electrocution. Even if the subjects survived the experiments, they were killed in order to ensure secrecy. According to Sheldon Harris's Factories of Death, Ishii and his fellow researchers referred to their human subjects as "marutas"--meaning "logs." By dehumanizing their Chinese captives, the Japanese had no ethical problem killing untold numbers of them. Ishii was a racist and womanizer who frequently stepped on others for career advancement.
Although difficult to comprehend, Mengele actually committed worse atrocities against helpless prisoners. An ardent supporter of the Nazi ideology of genetic "purity," Mengele was an extreme racist and anti-Semite. He had his own financing, laboratory, and staff to conduct his sadistic experiments, which included inducing gangrene, injecting chemicals into people's eyes, and murdering people so he could undertake postmortem examinations. He was described as popular, handsome, and well-groomed. Survivors later told of how he would show great affection to many of his child twin subjects and then, without hesitation or remorse, kill them.
Unlike the German and Japanese programs during World War II, the subsequent U.S. and Soviet bioweapon programs weren't led by physicians or scientists determined to wipe out or commit atrocities against a specific group of people because of race, religion, or other prejudices. Still, there were serious unintended consequences. In the early 1950s, one death and numerous illnesses occurred in San Francisco supposedly due to an open-air test of the bacteria Serratia marcescens, with U.S. scientists wrongly believing that Serratia marcescens was harmless. And a 1971 smallpox outbreak in Aralsk, Kazakhstan, has been attributed to open-air testing the Soviets conducted on Vozrozhdeniye Island. The outbreak led to 10 infections and three deaths; 50,000 residents of the city needed to be vaccinated in two weeks to contain the outbreak. Eight years later, an unintentional leak of anthrax spores at a production facility in Sverdlovsk, Ukraine, caused the deaths of more than 60 people, 7 sheep, and 1 cow.
The role of prejudice and dehumanization
Prejudice is typically defined as a negative prejudgment against a group of people. For some, prejudice is so extreme that it leads to hatred and a desire to kill. But prejudice isn't necessarily a bias against another group; rather, it's a preference for one's own group.
There's evidence that people are hardwired for prejudice. From an evolutionary perspective, it would make sense to be wary of strangers outside of one's small band or tribe. (See "The Genetic/Evolutionary Basis of Prejudice and Hatred.") Indeed, children are taught not to go with strangers. But when prejudice leads to the physical, psychological, sociological, economic, and/or political trauma to those belonging to the "outside" group, then it's pathological and dangerous.
In complex, heterogeneous societies, people encounter individuals of many different races, ethnicities, religions, and nationalities; therefore, prejudice and discrimination are counterproductive for a harmonious existence. Some societies, particularly in Europe, have dealt with the issue by purging their ethnic minorities. In a March/April Foreign Affairs essay, Jerry Muller argues that ethno-nationalism has defined post-World War II Europe. While the United States clearly has problems with prejudice and discrimination, it has an advantage in that virtually everyone--save for Native Americans--is from somewhere else. As a result, ethno-nationalism could be considered less of a national force than in some other countries.
But in some heterogeneous societies, people from one group consider those from other groups as the cause of their ills. At the individual level, this prejudicial response can be an attempt to maintain self-esteem in difficult times; instead of taking responsibility for their failures or misfortunes, some people prefer to blame others.
Unethical research on dehumanization and torture
Sometimes social context determines human thought and behavior. In extreme circumstances, seemingly normal people can become monsters. For example, the 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment demonstrated that if given absolute power and control, normal people are capable of dehumanizing and torturing their fellow humans. In this case, young men answered an advertisement to earn money in a two-week experiment. They were arbitrarily divided into two groups--prisoners and guards.
After being "arrested" and placed in "prison," the prisoners were forced to strip and given identifying numbers. The guards wore identical khaki uniforms, sunglasses, and carried clubs. After only six days, the experiment had to be stopped. About one-third of the guards showed delight in the power that they wielded and were particularly inventive and sadistic in how they humiliated and tortured the prisoners.
While ethically abhorrent, the Stanford Prison Experiment suggests that anyone can turn into a "monster" if given unrestricted power. In this context, the horrors of Abu Ghraib shouldn't be surprising.
A decade earlier, Stanley Milgram conducted experiments at Yale University that showed how normal people could be coerced into torturing their fellow humans. In Milgrim's study, 40 males between 20 to 50 years in age answered an advertisement to participate in a memory and learning experiment. They were paid $4.50 just for showing up. The study's purported goal was to see what effect punishment had on learning. In actuality, the study sought to see how severely the subjects would be willing to torture their fellow humans.
Those conducting the experiment rigged up a fake electric generator and hooked up a "learner"--in actuality, a confederate in the study--to make it look as though he would receive electric shocks each time he gave an incorrect answer. The subject was asked to increase the shock's voltage with each wrong answer. The voltage ranged from 15 volts (slight shock) to 450 volts (severely dangerous shock).
The study found that 65 percent of the subjects obeyed the experimenter and administered shocks all the way up to 450 volts--despite the "learner's" screaming. The rest obeyed until 300 volts, but then stopped at some increment thereafter. Many of the subjects showed symptoms of extreme stress--for instance, one subject experienced a convulsive seizure. Despite the questionable ethics involved, the study was reportedly repeated in Australia and Italy with similar results.
Unethical medical research
From 1932 to 1972, researchers with the U.S. Public Health Service conducted experiments on 399 poor black men suffering from syphilis. Called "The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment," the researchers told the subjects that they had "bad blood" and wanted to see how syphilis affected blacks. Even when penicillin became available to cure the disease, treatment was withheld from the subjects. Over the course of the experiment, 40 wives became infected, and 19 children were born with congenital syphilis. A whistleblower contacted the media, and the story broke in the Washington Star in July 1972. Only then did the government stop the study.
Simultaneous to the Tuskegee study, between April 1945 and July 1947, physicians working for the U.S. atomic weapons program deliberately injected plutonium into 18 Americans--including a railroad porter, janitor, housewife, and storeowner. All but one died long, agonizing deaths. In 1987, Eileen Welsome, a reporter for the Albuquerque Tribune, discovered files about the experiment in a safe at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. The identities of the experiment's victims would have remained unknown if not for her determined efforts to track down retired scientists and submit countless Freedom of Information Act requests for technical documents.
Unfortunately, during the early decades of the atomic age such experiments were commonplace. For example, the Defense Atomic Support Agency contracted with the University of Cincinnati to expose more than 90 cancer patients to total body irradiation. At Vanderbilt University, 829 pregnant women were given radioactive iron drinks to imbibe and told that it would benefit them and their babies. More than 100 prisoners in Oregon and Washington had their testicles exposed to high levels of radiation. Most of the victims of these experiments were poor and/or disenfranchised minorities. (See Welsome's The Plutonium Files.)
Human-subject research protections
The atrocities of human-subject abuse during World War II led to the Nuremberg Code, which recommended that all human subjects be provided with information about their prospective study before they gave their voluntary consent and that the study's benefits outweigh its risks. In 1949, the World Medical Assembly adopted an International Code of Medical Ethics; it spelled out the duties of physicians to their patients. Fifteen years later, the World Medical Assembly adopted the Helsinki Declaration; it outlined basic principles in protecting human subjects.
On July 12, 1974, the U.S. Congress passed the National Research Act. It established a national commission to identify the doctrine that should underlie all human-subject research. The commission issued the Belmont Report, which listed three basic principles--respect people, do no harm, and treat people equally and fairly. Since then, additional U.S. regulations and international guidelines pertaining to human-subject protections have been enacted. For example, FDA regulations require that institutions have Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) to review and monitor biomedical research involving human subjects. Still, this system has its weaknesses: IRBs have been found to have many studies to review with too little time or expertise, and some IRB members have conflicts of interest.
Preventing future research atrocities
It's important to note that the South African clandestine chemical and biowarfare program developed after the Nuremberg Code and Helsinki Declaration, proving that while important, they aren't sufficient to protect people from dangerous political regimes. It could be argued that a democratic form of governance can prevent research abuses. But the Tuskegee and plutonium experiments show that even in democracies, research atrocities can occur. Democracies do, however, allow for a free and independent press--a critical component in exposing unethical research programs, as Welsome's journalistic tenacity proved.
Professional human subjects--volunteering to be a subject for the pharmaceutical industry is now a lucrative endeavor--have taken matters into their own hands. A print and online magazine exists for members of the human "guinea pig" community. Similarly, there's an alliance between researchers and subjects to protect human rights. But it's unclear if these groups would have the ability to investigate, expose, and stop unethical research.
And what about physicians in state-sanctioned bioweapon programs? Could another Ishii or Mengele appear in the future?
In some ways, medical training inadvertently encourages those who are predisposed to dehumanize others. For example, from the first day of anatomy lab, some medical students must mentally dehumanize their cadavers in order to dissect them. (See "Cadavers Give Docs Leg Up in Training.") And the long, grueling hours during internship and residency can lead to anger and frustration--particularly when dealing with difficult, abusive, and sometimes, violent patients.
Occasionally, physicians-in-training begin to refer to their patients in pejorative terms. The House of God, a novel that gives an extremely cynical view of medical training, has become a cult classic among medical trainees because of its satirical portrait of the psychological traumas they must endure to become physicians.
The challenge to balance perspective is considerable: Too much empathy, and physicians can become overwhelmed with the human tragedy they witness daily. But if they distance themselves too much, physicians can become cold automatons.
Today, some medical schools are addressing this challenge. For example, Columbia University maintains a program in narrative medicine that combines the practice of medicine with literature in the hopes of providing physicians and other health care professionals with the tools to care for their patients in a holistic manner. It is argued that literature allows readers to step into the lives of others--to understand their struggles, hopes, and fears. Narrative medicine seeks to reinvigorate the "art" of medicine by encouraging practitioners to listen to the stories of their patients and therefore, acknowledge their humanity. (See "The Writing Cure.")
Thus, the real challenge--whether during war or peace--is to prevent unethical activities before they become crimes against humanity. It's a task that requires constant vigilance, education, and public awareness.

Between the LOLs, the memes, the animated GIFs, and the parody Twitter accounts, there was plenty Internet to go around during last night's one-and-done vice-presidential debate.
The polls are still out on which candidate won the night, but in the matter of viral junk there can be no debate: Graphic designer Shelby White's signature hairswap shop once again trounced the competition.
With nearly 4,500 retweets and just under 1,000 faves, White's insta-classic illustration of what it would look like "if Joe Biden and Paul Ryan switched haircuts" was one of the debate's most memorable reactions.
And, in a perfect America, all of politics would just be people coming together to laugh at well-made hairswaps.

text: There's something about the Viking heritage that makes every bit of music that plays off it seem larger than life. No matter the genre, songs about the ancient warriors give songs a grander scope, a larger vision, the kind of epic scale that can sometimes make us forget exactly what we're listening to. I rarely doubt the sincerity of artists, but there are surely bands on the scene that know the effect that can be gleaned from a gimmick like this.
