I am angry. It's not a good state to be in, and it's definitely not healthy. However, today I just can't help it.
The main problem is that I have a bet going on, and I feel I am going to lose it. My bet is that by 2010, more than 50% of the world's laptop sales will have GNU/Linux preinstalled, rather than Windows.
Until a little while ago, I was feeling optimistic. However, my optimism fell after I decided that I needed a new laptop.
You've probably guessed already: I want a laptop with Ubuntu Linux preinstalled, and I'm having a great deal of trouble finding one.
Yes, I know, there are some honourable attempts out there. For example, there are small laptop shops that make sure that "everything works" in GNU/Linux, and give you a working machine—no fuss. But what is still missing, in nearly 2007, is a big brand (see: Dell, Toshiba, Sony, etc.) marketing, selling, pushing their GNU/Linux laptops. Yes, Lenovo laptops often work well with GNU/Linux, but to me that's not good enough—in fact, far from it for a start they don't sell them with GNU/Linux preinstalled. Other brands have started releasing binary-only Linux drivers. Again, this is not good enough; in fact, many would argue that it's a step towards the wrong direction...
After much complaining, I guess I should come up with a possible solution. Unfortunately, there isn't "a solution" as such. In order for me to win this bet (I haven't lost all hope just yet), a number of things must happen.
First of all, as manufacturers will only listen to high-demand, users—end users—must request that machines come with GNU/Linux preinstalled. Some manufacturers will realise that they don't use Linux-friendly hardware, and will deal with the problem (by creating a new laptop line, or by changing the type of hardware they use).
Also, chip makers must be lobbied so that they release the specs for their cards. Keeping specs secret is a complete waste of time; unfortunately, a few crucial companies out there haven't understood this just yet.
There needs to be a set of hardware (webcams, cameras, MP3 players and so on) which come with a "GNU/Linux Compatible" logo, so that users don't worry about not being able to buy hardware at common shops. We all need to remember that asking people to recompile their kernels, or compile a driver, is not feasible for 95% of the users out there.
Laptop vendors need to offer their full support to GNU/Linux. This is the scary part for them: they've started with Windows, have grown up with it, and, to a lot of them, supporting Windows has required extensive and regular retraining. However, vendors need to be reassured that supporting GNU/Linux will require work, but is definitely achievable.
Finally, third-party software installation needs to be easy. I am talking about all those pieces of software which come with dictionaries, encyclopaedias, local governments, etc. These things will never be found in a repository, because they simply don't belong there. For this to happen, a mixture of lobbying and customer demand will do the trick, but it will take time.
I only bet a single dollar—a single gold coin that is worth less now than it was seven years ago when I made my bet. But, when I do end up paying that dollar to Andrea (who is waiting and grinning), it won't be about me being a dollar out of pocket: it will be about millions of computer users who, because of absurd and illegal and unethically monopolistic behaviours, will still be given a virus-prone, unstable, expensive, privacy-insensitive system—and won't even know it.
(Maybe I should have said 2015, instead of 2010?)
The bet is not lost yet
OLPC is runing Linux and their minimum order is a million units. Even with the first order, your bet is safe. :-)
Of course, this is not the message behind your subject line, but in the longer term it is a partial answer. Kids growing up with those laptops will probably NOT chose Windows later.
There are also some shops (in USA) that sell specifically Linux preconfigured laptops. I have seen a recommendation for System76.
I am afraid you are going to loose.
If any of the big manufacturer will ever make a GNU/Linux PC, Microsoft will immediately go after them. How? Simple. Right now (it's actually always been like that) these manufacturer receive big discounts on licenses for Windows. Without these discounts, a laptop would be way more expensive than it currently is. No manufacturer wants that. After all they are going after the profit.
BTW, let's see how this Novell/Microsoft deal goes. PC manufacturer may be uncomfortable in supporting an OS that may ""potentially"" violate Microsoft IP.
I'm not sure on the exact definition of irony, but is it not a bit ironic that the Google ads on the page for this article actually has a link for System76?
Support GNU/Linux PC vendors more
While it is good to be chasing major computer vendors and encourage them to start selling GNU/Linux PCs I think we shouldn't place all our bets on them.
System76 is only one of the companies who offer PCs and even laptops with GNU/Linux pre-installed and even pre-configured. Let's support those, buy those en masse and Dell, HP and others ought to notice it soon enough that they're losing customers to these smaller players.
And if they don't, then let's bury them altogether and create new leaders out of the GNU/Linux PC companies. ;)
Have I already lost my bet? - probably BUT
I feel that you are pretty well spot on in your observations. One of the major stumbling blocks which I believe most users are well aware of is that Linux is still not "understood" by the majority of PC & Software Vendors and for many of them there doesn't appear to be any real reason for them to go out and check it out. In many cases it is easier to believe the myths that it is still an Operating System only for geeks.
As with most things these days there needs to be a CARROT. In just a quick think about this I believe that if more of the younger generation are to be converted over to using Linux then sad as it may be, that will only come about if they are given some fantastic GAME/Sim/Whatever, that is different from anything else on any other platform. The term often bandied about is THE KILLER APP. I don't think an Application (as in Office product for example) is going to do it for the younger set BUT may well do it for the Business Sector or those interested in things other than games. I feel it needs attacking on both fronts, as an entertainment medium and as a productive tool for businesses and individuals.
On the Small Business front something like MYOB is a staple of many such concerns. Just imagine if there were a true alternative to MYOB that did EVERYTHING that MYOB did and preferably something more and/or better. That or some application of the same ilk would I believe then provide a potential reason for an interest and following to develop.
It is also imperative that Linux be portrayed more and more often as a POLISHED product that ANYONE who currently uses a Windows or Apple system can happily use without fear of needing assistance to overcome printing issues, etc. That is going to take some serious consultation with Hardware providers, System Builders and the like. Of course it also will involve the numerous IT related media getting on board with a comprehensive promotion of what Linux has to offer. To a degree there has been some sign of this of late with the late releases of Ubuntu. Most press coverage has been quite positive which is encouraging given the amount of work put into this particular distribution and its current stability. Stability is exactly what Linux needs.
In getting back to the topic of Laptops, sure your bet revolves around Linux and the Laptop but I don't believe that the Laptop is likely to be the driver, Linux itself needs to be the driver, people must want Linux first and then be asking for it on their Laptops.
It is a brilliant OS for Laptops especially now with the soon to be released VISTA. If ever there were an opportunity to promote one of the virtues of Linux over Windows it will be Linux as opposed to Vista on Laptops. The hardware needs to gain full use of Vista are ridiculous whereas Linux is quite attainable.
Well that is enough of my rabbling on for one evening and seeing as though Daylight Saving is only new to this neck of the woods (Perth Western Australia) it is time I hit the sack to let the body clock become a little more accustomed to it.
Tony, thanks for your contributions to a great magazine.
Regards... Phil H.
good points - well made
All your points make total sense but perhaps one reason we don't (yet) have major vendor distributing GNU/Linux pre-installed is because of the historical nature of GNU/Linux users.
Granted the tide is turning but until recently the average GNU/Linux user was (by necessity) someone who was quite happy wiping a hard disk and installing their preferred free OS. Traditionally they were also people who knew their hardware and what were quite specific about what they wanted. Okay maybe this is just me then :o)
When some vendors experimented[1] with selling machines with (usually Red Hat) GNU/Linux pre-installed the take up was not as big as they might have liked and I think this is because those vendors were not the ones the average GNU/Linux user (at the time) would have bought from.
But - as I said - the tide is turning more businesses are turning to GNU/Linux for critical business applications [ComputerWeekly.com] and as this starts to happen then it opens doors for other uses. One possible outcome from this is that GNU/Linux on the desktop may look more attractive and these businesses will be asking their suppliers for it. As you say if enough people ask... . Of course another possibility is that the businesses will never ask because their suppliers are M$ houses only. We can but hope.
As some customers have a tendency to buy what their supplier tells them to perhaps the supplier needs to be convinced by other market forces. Perhaps what it will take will be a ( for now ) small GNU/Linux PC vendor to start doing some big numbers. Sony switched into the video game market because the CEO read a report that video games were outselling music in the USA. If GNU/Linux users started buying pre-built systems from the smaller (and okay more expensive) suppliers then the bigger (and cheaper) guys would take a bit more notice.
Finally for an OEM to take up GNU/Linux some more distro's will need to work harder at giving OEM's an easy setup scenario. Images are available from Ubuntu (and some others I believe) which allow an OEM to install and the end-user to run through a start-up wizard a-la Window$. Without that the OEM needs to set the root and user passwords and then instruct the user on how to change them. Hardware support they can handle (sort of) and as for software support, any supplier who has good user forums also frequented by support staff, simple directions for security updates and gives good first-time user docuemntation (anyone remember when your PC came with it's own manual?) will soon find themselves popular.
[1] and I mean *experimented* I have yet to see a large vendor really take a risk - on anything let alone GNU/Linux. :o)
Don't be so glum Tony ;)
You can get a couple of pretty nice laptops from e.g. R-Cubed with Ubuntu pre-installed (or Fedora Core, RHEL or SuSE). But as long as there isn't pressure from GNU/Linux consumers on manufacturers to provide specs on their hardware, then the offer of kernel developers to write free drivers won't be taken up and you'll continue to have difficulty finding a laptop (or desktop )with a well-supported wireless card, graphics card etc. As things stand laptops with Intel 945G chipsets seem to be the best supported, (e.g. the R-cubed offering is built on an Acer that uses it).
Already thanks to the efforts of developers like Greg Kroah-Hartmann there's massive support for GNU/Linux on a wide range of machines. All that it may take now is a bit of consumer education and steering away from hardware that is useless to us.
Another source of pre-installed GNU/Linux laptops is EmperorLinux and they sell a variety of Lenovo/Thinkpad and Sony VAIO models.
Have I already lost my bet?
A good article, and well written. Yes, I think you've lost your dollar - but not the war. Keep chipping away. MS is huge, but one day will be a thing of the past. Think of Robert Bruce and the spider, think of Ozymandias, think of Arthur Hugh Clough's "Say not the struggle nought availeth" , think of water dripping on a stone . . . seriously, though, the open source/ free software model will win in the end, though the inertia of the market is enormous. The only question in my mind is how long will it take.

Pay up, or go to jail.
For most people that's not much of a choice. And scam artists know that.
FactFinder 12 first told you about a jury duty scam in January. This past weekend, Wichita police received four complaints about the scam.
Here's how it works: A person calls claiming to be a sheriff's warrant deputy. He says there's a warrant for your arrest for failing to show up for jury duty.
You're told to either send money right away, or be hauled off to jail.
FactFinder 12 Investigators spoke with a woman Monday who fell victim to the scam. She was too embarrassed to speak on camera. She says the man called himself "Sergeant Jones" and was "very convincing."
After getting off the phone, she ran to the nearest Walgreens and put $475.50 dollars on a Green Dot Money Pak card, as ordered. She then called the man back and gave him the card number. Police say once that happens the money is gone and almost impossible to trace.
The Sedgwick County Sheriff's office does not collect fines for failing for show for jury duty. And the county would certainly never use Green Dot cards as currency.
People who miss jury duty will receive an official letter from the court, not a phone call.

Indian Takeaway - An Evening Of Comedy, Cooking And Curry: Hardeep Singh Kohli
"Following the success of his other live shows, Nearly Naked Chef and Chat Masala, Hardeep Singh Kohli invites you to his brand new show, Indian Takeaway.
The country is obsessed with curry. That much we know. But how do Hardeep's home-cooked curries - the recipes inspired by his Mum and his Gran - compare to the local Indian Takeaways we love and adore? Let's find out!
At the beginning of each show Hardeep orders a takeaway live on stage for delivery to the theatre, having selected a local Indian takeaway from audience suggestions submitted via HardeepLive.com and then orders an audience member's favourite meal.
Whilst waiting for the order to arrive Hardeep cooks his own food.
Two curries with side orders of delicious cooking tips and lip-smacking comedy - what's not to like?!"

Easter is the best holiday for sadists, as Catholics worldwide bloody themselves imitating the passion of Christ, just like Mel Gibon's torture porno with that name. It's also rural Filipinos' annual season of infamy, for literally nailing themselves to crosses.
Welcome to a guided tour of modern Christianity's scariest Jesus imitators. Click here to view on one page. Some images are graphic.
Though Easter passion plays are fairly common (think Christmas pageant plus gore), actual mortification of the flesh is rare outside of the Philippines, and even there it's only a handful of people, confined mostly to small region. The Vatican and local bishops issue annual reminders that they do not condone these "acts of superstition."
People do it anyway, though, because they believe experiencing Christ's pain helps them repent and protect themselves and their families. The AP interviewed one such penitent this year:
"This is for my family, so there is no sickness," said the unmarried 36-year-old decorator, a piece of cloth covering his head which had a crown of barbed wire.
The rituals begin with Good Friday flagellation, like this man in a village near San Fernando city, which is a one-hour drive north of Manila. They use ropes and bamboo shingles to whip penitents. The AP describes,
By lunchtime, children were running around the villages covered in the blood of the penitents that had flicked off their backs.
The city of San Fernando banned foreigners from taking part in this year's crucifixion rituals. Last year, an Australian comedian claimed he wanted to be crucified for his mother who was suffering from cancer; when it turned out he was doing it for a comedy TV show, locals were incensed.
But foreigners are allowed to attend as spectators. The rites attracted upwards of 10,000 tourists this year, according to a Press Association report. The tourism angle has led some to accuse localities of perverting religious tradition into a capitalist endeavor.
Meanwhile, simulated crucifixions carry on elsewhere, including the United States. Maryland's St. Camillus Catholic Church "crucified" a man at the end of their Good Friday stations of the cross procession.
At Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the scariest weapons are the guns guarding the processioners. Religious violence: The more it changes, the more it stays the same? [Images via AP]

MARIETTA - A Marietta woman was killed when the vehicle she was driving ran off a road in Marietta Township late Sunday morning.
Virginia Lockhart, 62, was traveling south on Hadley Hollow Road when the accident occurred, according to Trooper Lea Mikes with the Marietta Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
"The 2009 Chevy Impala went off the left side of the road and struck a tree, then rolled over an embankment and came to rest on its top in a creek bed," she said. "The accident occurred about 0.2 mile north of County Road 9."

Towing service workers prepare to haul a 2009 Chevy Impala out of a streambed along Hadley Hollow Road following a fatal accident in Marietta Township on Sunday.
Lockhart was the only person in the vehicle, and Mikes said she was wearing a seatbelt. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
"The incident is still under investigation, but no alcohol or drug use is suspected," Mikes said. "And the roadway was dry."
She said a passerby saw Lockhart's vehicle in the streambed and notified authorities of the accident. The Reno Volunteer Fire Department and rescue squad responded.

September 14, 2005
If you need an ambulance in Aiken County, your choice of a hospital may be limited. News 12 is on your side with why a diesel fuel shortage is affecting care.
Willie Parker uses Aiken County's ambulance service quite often when he needs to get to University Hospital in a hurry.
"I have to say every one of my doctors are specialists," Parker said.
And in the past three and a half years, Parker has been to the hospital 20-25 times and each time transported past Aiken Regional to University Hospital at his family's request.
"I have been told last night he couldn't go to anywhere but Aiken Hospital," said Dianne Parker.
But Tuesday night's emergency at the Parker home left Dianne Parker pleading with EMT's to take her husband to University Hospital. That's where all of his 27 medications are on file and specialists have been attending to his special conditions.
"I have his power of attorney and what I say goes and he will go to Augusta if I have to drag him with a wagon," Dianne said.
But when these units are called, EMT's are told to go to the nearest hospital.
"That is the directions we have provided them right now because we are experiencing some difficulty obtaining diesel," said Rick Powell, EMS Director, Aiken County.
But Dianne Parker says she's billed $500 every time her husband is transported by ambulance and that should be enough to say where he goes.
"I think it's just unfair that the county say that we can't go to the hospital of our choice because of a gas problem," Parker said.
"I truly regret it, but with the diesel shortage we've got to try and use as little diesel as possible so that we will be able to respond to all patients calling or requesting help," Powell said.
As the county desperately waits for the next truckload of diesel fuel before the county runs dry.
County administrator Clay Killian tells News 12 he considers all of the Augusta area hospitals close enough to transport patients. And he has looked into Parker's case and says they had the right to go to University Hospital.
As for the fuel shortage, the county runs it's own facility and they're expecting a truckload any day now. To help with the shortage, the county has parked all of the heavy equipment in Public Works that use diesel fuel.

How Jeeps and Chevrolets Helped Drive Obama's Victory
If President Barack Obama ever privately doubted the wisdom of the auto industry bailout that defined the early part of his first term, those doubts dissolved after Election Night in Ohio.
Just as large red patches seemed to consume the graphic U.S. maps used to track the election, a critical blue band took hold across the state's industrial northern edge, linking cities that depend on the car business. Indeed, this stripe appeared to stretch from Chrysler Group LLC's Toledo Jeep plant to the front door of the General Motors Co. factory in Lordstown that turns out Chevrolet Cruze sedans.
Both the Lordstown and Toledo plants were in jeopardy after their companies filed for bankruptcy protection in 2009. But the Obama administration stood by the automakers and today the factories are building strong-selling vehicles.
The Ohio election result also indicates the power of the United Auto Workers union, though diminished from its heyday, is still formidable. Union officials in Ohio had said they would work hard for Obama in part because they owed it to him after the bailout.
A recent anti-bailout ad from the Romney campaign, which said Chrysler was shifting jobs to China, helped galvanize many in the auto industry against the challenger. The Obama camp launched a counter-attack ad that may have helped further energized auto workers.

'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Lights Up Comic-Con
Frankenstein who?
The new Lions Gate film, "I, Frankenstein," may have opened the studio's panel at San Diego Comic-Con, but the fans seemed to be really waiting for "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire."
The dystopian film's cast, including Lenny Kravitz, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, director Francis Lawrence and Jennifer Lawrence were all in attendance, although Ms. Lawrence remained the center of attention. Nearly all the fan and Facebook questions were directed at her.
"Her life is very different now, she's struggling from post traumatic stress from the games," Lawrence explained. "She has a new life, she never has to worry about food. It makes her feel useless in an odd way."
And although she's known Gale (Hemsworth) most of her life, she's got "something with Peeta [Hutcherson]. They only understand each other in a strange way," Lawrence added.
Employing her usual self-deprecating humor, Lawrence answered fan questions via personal stories.
Like the time she and Peeta had a kissing scene and "there was this long string of snot and it goes vring. It's going to be very hot" she said, in reference to the fan question regarding the "hotness" of the kissing scenes.
When asked about the most physically difficult part of playing Katniss Everdeen, the girl who won the Hunger Games along with Peeta, Lawrence said "simple running. If I have to run up a mountain, I am running up it all day. And not impaling myself with the bow," she added, recalling the story with Hutcherson, who was sitting next to the actress, when she did just that.
Jeffrey Wright and Jena Malone, two of the new tributes, were also present on the panel.
"This role makes me one of the coolest parent's at my kids school," Wright said.
Throughout the panel, Lawrence and Hutcherson largely set the tone.
"These two are funny, they have their own language and you can't understand half of it," Wright added, talking about the time spent events after shooting wrapped during the days on location in Hawaii, when the cast often cooked together.
Little details, like the fact that Hutcherson is talented at making paper airplanes, seeped out between questions.
When asked about her favorite piece of wardrobe, Lawrence responded "wearing the wedding dress. It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. It's five feet in circumference and I'm not good at walking in giant ball gowns, as we know." She was alluding to her trip at the Oscars when Hugh Jackman rushed to her aid as she was heading up the stairs to accept her best actress nomination for "Silver Linings Playbook."
Lions Gate chose to premiere the "Catching Fire" trailer during the panel, showing it twice. It also happened to be the first time the cast watched it.
Lawrence is seen in the wedding dress, as the girl on fire, and with her sister, Primrose (Willow Shields), when she says she sees "hope."
The mockingjay pin also makes several appearances, including spray painted on the inside of a train tunnel.
Written by Suzanne Collins, "The Hunger Games" trilogy of books have sold over 50 million copies in the United States alone. The first film, "The Hunger Games," is the 13th highest grossing film of all time.

In Their Own Words – Puzzlebuilder
This "In Their Own Words" post is by Dawn Stevens, as she shares her company Default Resource's connection with Autism Speaks and Puzzlebuilder. They were a creative bunch and we are so impressed!
Getting involved with the Autism Speaks Puzzle Builder fundraiser was an exciting opportunity for our company, Default Resource. Knowing that this was a new and innovative approach to raising awareness and money for autism, really caught our attention.
In the past two years Edie Calderon, wife of CEO Glen Calderon, has participated in the Bike to the Beach campaign to help raise money for Autism Speaks. We felt that Puzzle Builder was a great complimentary campaign that could be handled internally and fit for our company culture. The fact that it only takes $10.00 to get involved, created an affordable option for each of us to participate.
We used two photos of each of our managers to build the puzzle and sent it out to our friends, families, and vendors. We raised $480.00 dollars in just a few days. Internally, our CEO donated a Phillips 42" widescreen flat TV with Pixel Plus 3 HD and we held an auction with our staff. Our Quality Assurance Manager Brian Dawson had the highest bid and the entire amount was donated to the Puzzle Builder fundraising campaign.
This has been a great team effort. We have now raised $1340.00 towards our $4000.00 goal. As a company, we feel privileged to be a part of the very first Puzzle Builder campaign, alongside an international social networking community.
Check out Default Resource's Puzzlebuilder Page!
"In Their Own Words" is a series within the Autism Speaks blog which shares the voices of people who have autism, as well as their loved ones. If you have a story you wish to share about your personal experience with autism, please send it to email@example.com. Autism Speaks reserves the right to edit contributions for space, style and content. Because of the volume of submissions, not all can be published on the site.
December 13, 2010 at 2:02 pm
In aware of autism representing the puzzle piece (as in autism puzzle builder ), I had submitted a poem promoting autism awareness. "Life's Mystery-Autism-the missing puzzle piece", which was published on FB and as well in several autism magazines. I like to submit it to puzzle builder, if she care to published it.

King of the Bingo Game
by Ralph Ellison
King of the Bingo Game Introduction
In A Nutshell
Ralph Ellison is one of the best-known African-American writers, famous for his apolitical approach to the black experience in America. Although he was originally a music major in college, he received widespread critical acclaim later on in life for his novel Invisible Man, published in its entirety in 1952.
"King of the Bingo Game" was published in 1944, and it was the last piece Ellison published before releasing Invisible Man. The story focuses on a southern black man attempting to win a bingo game in order to save the woman he loves. Scholars have said that "King of the Bingo Game" marks Ellison's artistic maturity, and typically view the story as a study for Invisible Man. "King of the Bingo Game" bears many of the same hallmarks as Ellison's later novel: a nameless, southern black protagonist, surrealist touches, and similar character arcs. You should Shmoop Invisible Man if you want to learn more about Ellison's novel.
Why Should I Care?
Have you ever jumped over a crack in the sidewalk—you know, to avoid breaking your poor ol' mama's back? Have you ever walked around a ladder, rather than under it? Have you ever gone looking for a four-leaf clover or not washed your game socks to keep a winning streak alive?
Us, too. We just hate bad luck.
But what is luck? How do you get the good stuff and steer clear of the bad stuff?
Feeling lucky or unlucky is a kind of belief in some weirdo force beyond us that mysteriously intervenes—hopefully on our behalf. And that's the motivation for our protagonist in "King of the Bingo Game." He doesn't play bingo to get a discount on the early-bird buffet. Nope, he's got bigger fish to fry. He's playing in the hopes that good luck will reward him with a jackpot.
This particular guy is hoping to pay off some medical bills, but all of us, at some point, have wished for a bit of good luck to come our way and change things for the better. You might find Ellison's portrayal so spot-on, in fact, that you're liable to yell out Bing—oh, never mind.

Using these Instructions
Bold-faced titles and subheadings are included to make the instructions
easier to read and are not part of the instruction.
Angle brackets and
italicized text are used to enclose directives to follow in customizing
the charge. E.g., <insert name of person injured>. Angle
brackets are also used to refer to other instructions that may contain
some additional useful information. E.g., <See Affirmative Defense,
Instruction 2.9-1.>.
Quick Links
Alternative Choices
Parentheses are used to
indicate that a choice between words or phrases is necessary. This
is most commonly used for gender-specific pronouns, e.g., (he/she)
or (his/her). It is also used when a statute offers several terms,
not all of which may be applicable to the charged offense. If a
statute has choices that are lengthy, such that stringing them
together in a single parentheses would be cumbersome to read, they
are separated into a bulleted list. For example,
a person is guilty of kidnapping in the
first degree when (he/she) abducts another person and (his/her)
intent is to compel a third person <insert as appropriate:>
to pay or deliver money or property
as ransom.
to engage in particular conduct or
to refrain from engaging in particular conduct.
Optional Language
Square brackets are used
to indicate that a portion of the instruction is optional. It will
be preceded by an italicized directive defining the circumstances
under which the language would be appropriate, unless it is clear
from the language itself. For example,
[<If the defendant has testified
about (his/her) intent:> In this case, the defendant has
testified as to (his/her) intent. You should consider my earlier
instruction on evaluating the defendant's testimony as you would any
other witness.]
Note that square
brackets in commentary have their common meaning, i.e., the
paraphrasing of small portions of quoted material.
Definitions of Terms
Terms that are defined by
statute or case law are hyperlinked to the glossary.

The Sunrise Beach Planning Commission will meet this evening at the Sunrise Beach Fire Protection District Headquarters on Porter Mill Springs Rd.
The application by Dean McDonald of Magruder Limestone Inc. for a conditional use permit is on the agenda. Magruder is seeking to temporarily operate an asphalt plant in its quarry on Hwy. 5 in the village this summer.
Magruder was awarded a contract to resurface and shoulders to nearly 28 miles of Hwy. 5 in Camden and Morgan counties through the Westside of the Lake area. It is subsequently seeking to consolidate its mining and asphalt operations for the construction at this site.
The proposed CUP would allow an asphalt plant to operate at the quarry from July-December 2013.
A public hearing was held at last month's meeting on the case.
McDonald presented the Troy-Mo.-based company's case last month. A handful of residents near the quarry attended the meeting in opposition to the asphalt plant. The village has received three letters of support for the temporary asphalt plant.
The commission tabled the case at its January hearing to further research Magruder's past record on noise and odor at temporary plants it operates at other locations in the state.
The planning commission meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Feb. 4. The SBFPD Headquarters is located across from Hurricane Deck Elementary School. It is off of Route 5 behind the fire house on the highway.

There seems to be a consensus that we are in need of a new keeper (amongst other things), however for the Swansea game I would be inclined to reward Fabianski for a good performance and start him.
I am a fan of rotation but for central defenders I think this is less important and building an understanding as a pair is important. Vermaelen had been disappointing but so has Per at times. In my mind potential wise Vermaelen and Kos would still be our best pairing.
Who would you start in central defense against Swansea? For me we have to start Kos and I am not sure on Vermealen or Per.
Definitely hope to see Jenkinson again.
Biggest game of the season? I guess like Wenger said all remaining games for us are now the biggest game of the season.
Let's hope Spurs losing 2 on the trot is the beginning of a little slide.
Mertesacker got torn a new one against Swansea last time. Michu out maneuvered him and outran him too.
With no other distractions (silverware to play for), Wenger needs to get the team into the top four.
No excuses now. He cannot use the lack of squad players available as he had the opportunity to bolster the squad in January and buy what he wanted.
Failure to reach the top four must cost him his job. I would not trust him with £10m to spend in the summer, let alone the reported £100m.

Camilla Sahlén is always on the move. Her job as a project design manager with Skanska Sweden means she is constantly traveling between construction sites. And she always needs the latest information. Mobile broadband ensures she has all the facts she needs, wherever she is.
Skanska, a Swedish construction company, has more than 3500 projects going on around the country. Connecting its workforce using mobile broadband saves the company time and money – and makes life a lot easier for its employees. Accessing supplier, procurement and business systems is easy and can be done from wherever you are.
Being connected makes it easier for Camilla to work as she travels from one site to the next. "I always have my information with me in my laptop, or on a network that I can connect to wherever I am," she says.
This freedom to work anywhere cuts down lead times and makes her work day more efficient: Camilla doesn't need to get back to her desk to send off a request, or to check when supplies should arrive.
Mobile broadband, based on HSPA, is what lets Camilla solve problems and head off potential issues while standing in a gravel pit. Skanska has been using mobile broadband for more than a year and says it provides significant savings over other forms of information access.
Skanska is in good company. A recent survey, commissioned by the GSMA, shows the growing popularity of HSPA mobile broadband and the enormous potential for further expansion. Of the 1000 enterprises surveyed in the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific, 36 percent rely on HSPA to connect their employees.
More than 70 percent of the companies surveyed said they provide their employees with laptops, virtual private network (VPN) access and other remote access technologies. Built-in HSPA modules ensure a laptop can connect to systems and transfer information securely.
At Ericsson, we are paving the way to more freedom and flexibility for enterprises and employees with our HSPA solutions – with everything from imbedded HSPA modules for laptops to complete HSPA networks, and advanced enterprise applications.
We are helping people such as Camilla build for the future, based on mobile broadband.

Late Wednesday afternoon, Apple (AAPL) switched its Internet home page, normally decked out with its iconic products, to a single image: A full-page portrait of Steve Jobs, tugging his beard and staring intently into the camera with the hint of an impish smile.
The man who taught Silicon Valley that its future was limitless was gone. Almost immediately, condolences and praise flowed in -- from President Barack Obama and the valley business titans Jobs had inspired, to the thousands of people who posted hugs and tears in 140 characters on Twitter and the children who placed flowers before a small orchard in front of Jobs' Palo Alto home.
Apple announced the death of Jobs, who had been suffering from a recurrence of pancreatic cancer, just after 4:30 p.m. Wednesday with a somber statement to the media. Jobs, who had stepped down as CEO in August as his health declined, died peacefully earlier Wednesday at his home, surrounded by his family.
"Apple has lost a visionary and creative leader, and the world has lost an amazing human being," said the company, which is asking people to email their memories and condolences to email@example.com. "Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."
Obama tweeted, "Rest in peace, Steve Jobs. From all of us at #Obama2012, thank you for the work you make possible every day -- including ours."
Google (GOOG) also changed its home page, with its characteristic minimalism: "Steve Jobs, 1955-2011" -- a link that led back to Apple's website.
Jobs' legacy will always revolve around Apple and Pixar, the studio that created a string of animated Hollywood hits such as the "Toy Story" movies, and the transformational products they created. But he also had a direct and personal impact on the lives and careers of other tech visionaries -- from 27-year- old Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, to Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, who once hoped to hire him as Google's CEO.
When Zuckerberg recently introduced a new Facebook feature called Timeline, a feature the CEO called "the story of your life," his home page had a photo of Jobs, whom Zuckerberg has grown close to in recent years.
"Steve, thank you for being a mentor and a friend," Zuckerberg said on his Facebook page Wednesday. "Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world. I will miss you."
Page said that despite Jobs' poor health, the Apple leader reached out to offer his help when Page became Google's CEO in April.
"He always seemed to be able to say in very few words what you actually should have been thinking before you thought it," Page wrote in a posting on Google+. "He was very kind to reach out to me as I became CEO of Google and spend time offering his advice and knowledge even though he was not at all well."
And the man who once may have been Jobs' fiercest competitor and who later became a friend, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, wrote in a blog post about memories going back nearly 30 years.
"The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come," Gates wrote. "I will miss Steve immensely."
Jobs was simply, writer-director Albert Brooks wrote on Twitter, "our Edison."
Apple CEO Tim Cook informed Apple employees of Jobs' death in an email late Wednesday afternoon, saying the company would soon hold a memorial service for employees.
"No words can adequately express our sadness at Steve's death or our gratitude for the opportunity to work with him," Cook told Apple's employees. "We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much."
Jobs may have provided his own best eulogy in the commencement address he gave at Stanford in 2005, when he spoke emotionally about quitting school, getting fired from Apple, and being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at 49.
For many graduates that day, like J.T. Batson of Augusta, Ga., now the president of Donovan Data Systems, Jobs' words that afternoon still resonate.
"What hit home for me was his message to wake up every morning and look yourself in the mirror -- and if you're not excited about that day, you need to change what you're doing," Batson said. "And that death is a great motivator, so we all need to take full advantage of our time. Lastly, his advice to 'stay hungry, stay foolish.' I now tell that story to people who work for me."

Next Week's Tape: Sandy Washes Over Jobs Report
National data showing the impact of superstorm Sandy on economic activity will arrive next week. The most important will be November's payroll report set for next Friday.
Although Sandy made U.S. landfall in late October, the Labor Department conducts its payroll survey around the 12th of each month, so the October data was in the can when the storm hit.
The November report will capture lingering impacts on the labor markets, including workers who could not get to their jobs because of bad weather.
Economists expect Sandy was a drag on net job growth this month. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires expect 98,000 new jobs were added in November, down from a healthy 171,000 created in October.
The November unemployment rate is forecast to remain at 7.9%.
Other November numbers will include business surveys done by the Institute for Supply Management and vehicle sales.
The ISM factory report, scheduled for Monday, is expected to show manufacturing is barely expanding in November. The purchasing managers' index is forecast to fall to 51.0 from 51.7 in October.
The non-manufacturing index, out on Wednesday, is expected to drop to 53.5 from 54.2 last month.
The pace of vehicle sales may be lifted by Sandy as consumers replaced damaged cars, say economists at T. Rowe Price. The median forecast of all economists surveyed expect sales came in at an annual rate of 15.2 million this month, from 14.2 million in October.
MarketWatch's Polya Lesova stopped by the Markets Hub this morning to preview the week ahead:
Here's next week's data calendar:
ISM November manufacturing PMI (10:00): seen sliding to 51 to 51.7.
October construction spending (10:00): seen rising 0.5%, after rising 0.6% in September.
November vehicle sales: annualized sales rate seen rising to 15.2 million from 14.2 million in October.

From N.H. to N.Y.C.: Chefs do New Hampshire proud in the Big Apple
When our top N.H. chefs go to The Big Apple, they make waves, and I mean more than just on the edible "Seascape" dish Chef Evan Hennessey served at a 'Pop-up" restaurant there in early October. The Stages at One Washington chef won the Star Chefs International Congress Conference Vitamix Challenge on Oct. 1 and made quite an impression there, but he also brought a few more of our N.H. chefs for that Pop-up event at The Parlor in SoHo, thanks to Underground Eats.

The Aug. 2 primary elections in Mississippi did not come without some upsets.
Sounds of jubilation erupted from supporters of Charles Young, Jr., as he emerged among supporters Tuesday night after it became evident that he had defeated the man who took over the House District 82 seat two years ago, when Young's father died.
"I'm very humbled that you have exhibited confidence in me and in the Young family, and we won't let you down," said Young.
"I wish my opponent the best of luck," said Rep. Wilbert Jones.
"And hopefully he will serve and represent this district and all the people within this district."
Then there was the sheriff's race in Lauderdale County, where the incumbent Billy Sollie pulled out a victory for the Republican nomination, over fellow law enforcement officer Buck Roberts. However, that didn't happen without a great deal of campaigning.
"By far this has been my toughest opponent based on his work effort," said Sollie. "I'm glad that this part's over with. We've got to go on the (November) 8th, because I have an independent opponent."
"I wish Sheriff Sollie the best. I've been a servant for the people for twenty years, actually thirty years, and I'll continue to be a servant for the people," said Roberts.
Kemper County had a rematch between Sheriff James Moore and former sheriff, Sam Tisdale, for the Democratic nomination. Four years ago as a newcomer, Moore was victorious and unseated Tisdale who had served as sheriff for the county for nine years.
"We're going to continue and work for the county and get ready for a November race," said Moore.
"I'm planning to contest it," said Tisdale. "They're saying it ain't nothing but 3,000 people voted in Kemper County and they are telling us there is a heavy turnout. That's a very low turnout because we have over 7,000 voters here in Kemper County."
Incumbent school superintendent Pat Ross was also unseated when he lost the Democratic Primary to J.O. Amis, who won 53 percent of the vote.
One of the more surprising results in the election might have been in Lauderdale County's District 5 supervisor's race.
The sometimes controversial incumbent Ray Boswell is in a runoff with Kyle Rutledge. Boswell got 41 percent of the vote in a 4-person race in the Republican Primary. Rutledge got 31 percent. The runoff will take place Aug. 23.

18 September - European Heritage Days
Cultural heritage, cornerstone of European construction
How can Europeans be brought to realise that their cultural heritage both unites and differentiates them, and that this heritage is a vehicle for mutual discovery and understanding?
To take up this triple challenge, the Council of Europe in 1991 launched the European Heritage Days [EHD], an initiative which in 1999 became a joint Council of Europe-European Commission action.
Throughout Europe during the weekends of September, the European Heritage Days opens up numerous sites and monuments, some normally closed to the public.
The 49 States party to the Council of Europe Cultural Convention will be actively involved in this initiative, and it is forecast that more than 30 000 sites and monuments participating in the event will have some 20 million visitors.
- raise the awareness of European citizens to the richness and cultural diversity of Europe;
- create a climate in which the appreciation of the rich mosaic of European cultures is stimulated;
- strengthen the feeling among Europeans of sharing the same identity;
- counter racism and xenophobia and encourage greater tolerance in Europe and beyond the national borders.
Each year, national and regional events are organised around a special theme.
- specific forms of heritage - musical instruments, culinary traditions, garden architecture,
- specific periods in history - Medieval heritage, Baroque heritage
- society's approaches to heritage - heritage and citizenship, heritage and youth

I have a recipe for Eggplant Relish from a 1975 issue of Gourmet magazine that calls for five pimientos. I've only ever seen pimiento stuffed into green olives, but the recipe verbiage makes me think this ingredient would be much larger than an olive could accommodate. Am I missing something?
— Margot H., Medford
In this country, the term pimiento means "red peppers that are cooked, peeled and packaged in jars or cans," according to "Tapas," by Penelope Casas (Knopf, $30).
The word itself, Casas writes, "is nothing more than the Spanish word for peppers." Once pimientos are dried, smoked and ground, they become "pimenton," or Spanish paprika.
Also spelled "pimento," this heart-shaped, red, sweet pepper is a member of the Capsicum annuum family, which also includes bell peppers and chilies. The flesh of a pimiento is said to be much sweeter, though, than a bell pepper's.
The fruit itself measures about 3 to 4 inches long and 2 inches wide at the widest part, according to most culinary resources. But some sources also call them cherry peppers, which are smaller and plumper. So clearly not all peppers classified as pimiento are the same variety.
Most grocery stores stock small — about 4-ounce — jars of diced pimiento. Those pieces in green olives have been roasted and skinned, a process similar to roasting red bell peppers.
So because your recipe does seem written for larger, jarred pimiento peppers, you could substitute jarred, roasted red peppers.
Incidentally, "pimento" also is the name of the tree that allspice comes from, according to "The Food Lover's Companion," by Sharon Tyler Herbst (Barron's, $12.95).

NH's MTBE settlement cache: $136m and counting
New Hampshire has won $136.5 million as a result of a massive lawsuit it filed a decade ago over the gasoline additive MTBE, and it may win more, pending a case currently being heard in Merrimack County Superior Court against ExxonMobil. While not all of the settlement money is in the state's hands just yet, it appears that it is sitting in a bank account, shrouded in secrecy.

|2006 Inductee (Basketball Coach 1964-1969)
Ray Smith was born on December 23, 1935 in Gober, Texas. Smith was raised on a farm and ranch in his hometown were he excelled in a number of sports before graduating from Gober High School in 1954. Following a two year stint at Frank Phillips Junior College, Ray transferred to Austin College. While at Austin College he competed on the baseball, basketball, and track and field teams prior to graduating in May of 1958. Smith's coaching career began immediately as he accepted a one-year graduate assistant position while earning his Master's degree at Austin College in Administration Education.
Smith's next stop in the state of Texas would be at Comanche High School. He taught and coached there from 1959-1964. His basketball teams won back-to-back district and bi-district championships from 1962-1963 through 1963-1964.
The next stop for the Smith family was the University of Corpus Christi (UCC). Ray wore numerous hats on campus from 1964 through 1969. He was hired to lead the UCC Tarpon basketball team, but he also served stints as Athletic Director, Assistant Football Coach, Dean of Men, and he even found time to teach. Smith was quickly recognized for his accomplishments when he was selected as District VIII Coach of the Year for the 1965-1966 season. Smith was about team success, rather than personal success which is evident as the 1968-1969 Tarpon basketball team won the District VIII Championship and went on to compete in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Basketball Tournament in Kansas City, which he describes as the his most successful accomplishment at UCC.
After 5 years at UCC, Smith left to complete a year's residency for his doctorate at the University of North Texas. Upon graduation with his Ed. D, in 1970 he began a 12 year career at Wharton County Junior College. Smith began his career as the Dean of Student Personnel where he was responsible for student activities, financial aid, recruiting, housing, and institutional research. From 1977 through 1982 he served as Assistant to the President for Advanced Institutional Development. In this capacity, Smith designed a college planning and evaluation system, expanded the development office with emphasis on securing state and federal grants, and assisted in the automation of the business office as well as student registration and records.
Smith's career progression lead him to a position as Superintendent of Schools for the Bells Independent School District in Bells, Texas from 1982-1986. Grayson County Community College was the final stop in Smith's professional career in education. He served as the Associate Vice President for Institutional Advancement and Executive Director of the Grayson County College Foundation where he was responsible for planning and initiating the development office prior to his retirement in 1995.

GYPSUM - The firsts keep piling up for Battle Mountain girls lacrosse.
With a 19-2 victory over Eagle Valley Thursday down in Gypsum, the Huskies recorded their first season sweep of their archrivals. The Devils won last year's grudge match two games to one.
"I think it definitely signifies the improvement this team has made last season and this season," Huskies coach Emily Jaissle said. "The girls know each other. It's a friendly rivalry. The girls are happy to compete."
Battle Mountain had nine different goal-scorers, which is always a good thing. Scoring diversity is just one of the things that the Huskies (8-3) are working on as the regular season winds down.
"I think attack-wise, we want to make smarter decisions in passing and shooting," Jaissle said. "We want everything to be calculated and well-thought out. Defensively, we're working on more communication and protecting that space in front of the goal."
As the wins pile up - Thursday was four in a row - the Huskies are putting themselves into the playoff picture. Wins against at Fruita Wednesday and against Grand Junction in Edwards Friday assure the Huskies of no worse than a second-place finish in the Mountain Conference.
The question is, then, will that be enough to secure a state-playoff spot for the first time in the program's history? CHSAA girls lacrosse is still just one 46-team division, whereas the boys have split into Classes 5A and 4A. Only the Mountain Conference's champion is assured a spot in the field.
Will CHSAA take another team from the Mountain Conference?
"I don't know," Jaissle said. "It's a tough call because we get less exposure than team's on the Front Range. It's hard to say."
That makes Monday's nonconference tilt at Conifer all the more important. It's an opportunity to show the Front Range what this much-improved Huskies team can do.
