Let's Go to Mars!
You and your crew are about to blast off to Mars!
Now you must decide what to take on the long journey in space.
The spaceship that will take you on the 9-month journey to Mars is already in a "parking orbit" around Earth. Everything you will need after you get to Mars has already been sent ahead to the red planet.
The orbiting Mars spaceship already contains everything you need to stay alive: air, food, water, heaters.
But you need to decide what else to take. For example, what favorite foods and beverages will you want to take? And, how will you pass the time?
You will be allowed to take only 10 items. Just remember, some things that work fine on Earth will cause problems in zero gravity!
When you are happy with what you've loaded in the rocket, you can blast off to Mars!
So, what are we REALLY doing about Mars?

After launching a rocket in December and vowing to conduct a third nuclear test, North Korea followed up last week by saying it would take measures "stronger than a nuclear test" and releasing a bizarre YouTube video that appeared to depict a rocket attacking an American city. (The video has since been removed from YouTube; excerpts and commentary can be watched here.)
This latest round of saber-rattling from Pyongyang has, not surprisingly, prompted much beltway hand-wringing about the state of US missile defense, including calls to beef it up. But missile defense is not the panacea that many American politicians make it out to be.
Predictably, Republicans pointed to the rocket launch to accuse the Obama administration of degrading defenses that protect the US homeland. House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon, a California Republican, said that national missile defenses have been "subject to severe and unwarranted cuts in recent years," and pledged to "continue to work for increased funding and more capable systems that help keep our nation safe." Likewise, an anonymous senior Senate aide told the Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin that "You can be certain North Korea will share all the data and lessons learned from this test [with Iran]. It's more critical than ever to fund additional missile defense interceptors for Alaska and California, and to fully fund an East Coast intercept site."
The Obama administration has argued that existing national missile defenses are more than capable of countering North Korea but is also seeking to improve them. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told CNN, "I'm very confident that American defense capabilities are able, no problem, to block a rocket like this one." In addition, the White House is strengthening regional missile defense cooperation with allies in East Asia. Washington is also moving forward with its plan to deploy SM-3 interceptors in Europe to provide protection against all possible missile threats from Iran and expanding missile defense deployments to protect US allies and troops in the Middle East. One of the goals of this global push is to demonstrate America's commitment to the defense of its allies.
Lost in the latest bout of fealty to missile defense, however, is a much-needed dose of perspective about its efficacy and contribution to US national security. Are US missile defenses as capable as Panetta would have us believe? Do they contribute to the deterrence of rogue state threats? Could increasing US missile defense in East Asia undermine nuclear stability by making China feel less secure? Before the administration rushes to expand America's missile defense footprint, it must be more mindful of the limitations of this strategy.
US defenses against long-range and intercontinental missile threats currently consist of 30 interceptors in Alaska and California and a network of supporting tracking radars and early warning satellites. Known as ground-based midcourse defense (GMD), this system is designed to intercept incoming missiles as they are travelling through the vacuum of space. But even though the Defense Department has invested approximately $39 billion in this midcourse defense system since 1996, it remains troubled. For example, a 2012 report by the National Research Council said that the system "lacks fundamental features long known to maximize the effectiveness of a midcourse hit-to-kill defense capability against even limited threats." Similarly, the Pentagon's Operational Test and Evaluation Office has said for nearly a decade that the system "has demonstrated a limited capability against a simple threat." The National Research Council report and another one like it by the Defense Department's Defense Science Board also identified problems with elements of the proposed missile defense architecture for Europe.
One of the missing features of all US missile defense systems that operate outside the atmosphere is the ability to discriminate between real warheads and decoys. The National Research Council report highlighted the fundamental importance of discrimination, noting that defenses will eventually need to confront "decoys and other penetration aids and tactics … that adversaries will have deliberately designed to frustrate U.S. defenses." The report went on to note that even more effective missile defenses might not work against such countermeasures.
Given these many failings, the National Research Council recommended a major and costly overhaul of the ground-based midcourse defense system, including the development of new interceptors and radars and their deployment at additional sites in the United States. Nevertheless, last year the House Armed Services Committee authorized the Pentagon to spend $360 million more than it asked for to expand the flawed system. The Committee also provided an additional $100 million to begin deploying existing ground-based or SM-3 interceptors -- not the interceptors recommended by the National Research Council -- on the East Coast of the United States by the end of 2015 to defend against potential future long-range ballistic missiles launched from Iran.
Even if US defenses were far more effective than they currently are, their benefits against nuclear-armed missiles are often over-exaggerated. If US nuclear and conventional capabilities are insufficient to deter an adversary from using nuclear weapons, it is not clear how imperfect missile defenses would alter that adversary's calculus. Imperfect defenses could limit some of the damage that would result from a nuclear exchange, but the possibility that even one nuclear weapon could strike the United States is an outcome that no President would consider acceptable. Thus, more missile defenses are unlikely to meaningfully strengthen deterrence because nuclear-armed adversaries know that their chances of inflicting unacceptable damage on the United States would remain high -- especially since they could also employ means other than ballistic missiles to deliver nuclear weapons.
In short, missile defense alone cannot protect the United States from nuclear weapons. As the physicist Wolfgang Panofsky once wrote, "That goal has to be attained by dissuasion, where dissuasion means a combination of diplomacy and deterrence."
Diplomacy is essential not only to reducing the threats posed by rogue states, but also to preventing the potential negative consequences of missile defense deployments. While the intention behind US missile defense is not to threaten Russia or China's ability to strike the United States with nuclear weapons, both Russia and China fear otherwise. Moscow's concerns about US missile defenses in Europe appear to be the main stumbling block to further bilateral US and Russian nuclear arms reductions. China, meanwhile, is concerned that the expansion of US regional defenses in East Asia is designed to counter both North Korea and China's growing arsenal of conventionally-armed theater ballistic missiles, and could be augmented by long-range interceptors that would threaten its strategic nuclear deterrent.
The United States must use the full range of diplomatic, economic, and security tools at its disposal to mitigate the threats posed by North Korea and Iran. Missile defense has a role to play, but it's neither as grandiose nor as significant as many claim. A sensible approach would condition deployments on realistic assessments of both the actual threat and the effectiveness of our defenses and include more engagement with Russia and China. In fact, overstating the importance and effectiveness of missile defense could provide US policymakers with a false sense of security, which could prompt them to be more aggressive in dealing with rogue states -- thereby increasing the risk of war.

The college will offer opportunities for students to get their master's degree in business administration. (WRDW-TV / Aug. 9, 2011)
News 12 at 11 o'clock / Friday, March 8, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Right now, Paine College is in the middle of a security overhaul.
And investigators say even though they're not finished, it's already making a difference.
"Everybody says that Paine is just one big family," said Shaquille Ponder.
A family now torn apart after a stranger came onto campus and sexually assaulted one of their own.
Shaquille Ponder, a freshman at Paine College, said the shock is still fresh.
"It was a big scare when they said someone got raped," he said. "And I heard it wasn't the first time."
Deputies have arrested 18-year-old Jairus Rayshawn Dantzler.
He's charged with rape, attempted rape, armed robbery and burglary in connection to three separate incidents over the last four months.
One of those charges links him to an attempted rape at Paine College last fall.
"The female got up from her dorm room to use the restroom," said Richmond County Sheriff Richard Roundtree during a news conference.
"When she came back, the subject was actually inside her room. [The subject] attempted to jump on top of her while she was in bed. She was able to fight the subject off."
Which begs the question of the state of Paine College's security.
"The college has always had campus safety 24 hours a day," said Brandon Brown, vice president of Institutional Advancement at Paine College.
"We always have an officer doing rounds, checking buildings, checking to make sure everything is OK."
But recently, they added 24-hour surveillance.
"We record every minute of the day so that when people come on campus, we know what's going on," Brown said.
Which investigators say helped them get their man.
But Ponder says campus security just hasn't been able to cast a wide enough net.
"They secure the campus but ... it's like, one or two of them," he said.
That's part of the reason Paine College is stepping things up. Instead of campus security, they will now have police officers.
"As we move the campus from campus safety to a campus police department, we'll further strengthen our abilities to deter people from coming on campus and taking up things that they're not supposed to be taking up," Brown said.
Investigators say this wasn't a security breach, but more so a case of one person waiting and watching for an opportunity to make his move.

What Is a Biopsy?
In this article
What to Expect From Your Biopsy
Biopsies vary greatly according to how difficult the tissue is to obtain. The medical term for this is "invasiveness."
A minimally invasive biopsy (for example, most skin biopsies) may be done in the doctor's office during the same visit the lesion is discovered. A small injection of numbing medicine can make the procedure almost painless.
More invasive biopsies may be done in a hospital, a surgery center, or a specialized doctor's office. You would make a separate appointment for the biopsy. In most cases, sedating and pain relief medicines are given, reducing any discomfort. You likely won't be able to drive after receiving these medicines.
You may feel sore at the area of the biopsy for a few days. Your doctor can prescribe appropriate pain relief medicines if you have significant pain from the biopsy.
What Happens After the Biopsy?
After the tissue is collected and preserved, it's delivered to a pathologist. Pathologists are doctors who specialize in diagnosing conditions based on tissue samples and other tests. (In some cases, the doctor collecting the sample can diagnose the condition.)
A pathologist examines the biopsy tissue under a microscope. By noting the tissue cells' type, shape, and internal activity, in most cases a pathologist can diagnose the problem.
The time it takes to get results from a biopsy can vary. During a surgery, a pathologist may read a biopsy and report back to a surgeon in a few minutes. Final, highly accurate conclusions on biopsies often take a week or longer. You will probably follow up with your regular doctor to discuss the biopsy results.

LOS GATOS -- It's the kind of town that is so picky it once quibbled over what shade of red was suitable for the front door of a Talbots dress shop. It bans some ground-floor nail salons and winces at the notion of a Starbucks opening downtown.
So it's no wonder that Los Gatos, a tony South Bay community of 29,000, is in the midst of a culture war over a sporting goods store that primarily sells guns. The shop slipped quietly into town in conformance with existing land-use regulations that allow firearms sales, just days after the Dec. 14 school massacre in Newtown, Conn. Since then, the presence of the unassuming store has touched off an uproar, with public hearings that have drawn overflow crowds and death threats against the store owners.
Now, Los Gatos is one of a handful of local jurisdictions throughout California -- along with the Legislature -- that is weighing new regulations on firearms sales and ammunition in the wake of the Newtown mass killing. Among the others: Santa Cruz County, San Francisco, Los Angeles County and the city of Sacramento.
From Lafayette to Pinole to Campbell, at least three dozen cities and counties in California already regulate the commercial sale of guns. Most ban firearms dealers in residential neighborhoods; some go further, including prohibiting them near schools and other "sensitive" areas. Other cities require dealers to obtain liability insurance and conduct background checks on store employees.
"These ordinances are important from a public safety level because state and federal laws are inadequate to ensure dealers really operate responsibly," said Juliet Leftwich of the San Francisco-based Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
However, gun-rights advocates consider them an infringement on their constitutional right to bear arms. Chuck Michel, an attorney for the National Rifle Association and other groups, pledges to challenge any new laws that go too far. It's no idle threat: In 2006, he successfully challenged a ban on the sale or possession of handguns that San Francisco voters had overwhelmingly approved.
"The anti-gun lobby is taking advantage of Newtown and dusting off ordinances that haven't had any traction," Michel said. "They are trying to regulate gun stores out of existence."
Battles over guns usually are associated with state capitols, Congress or crime-riddled cities. But it's an indication of just how passionately people feel on both sides of the gun-rights debate that the culture war is playing out in one of the Bay Area's most exclusive bedroom communities.
Opponents have expressed safety concerns about the store at a time when the country is regularly enduring a number of major, public acts of gun violence.
"It serves little more purpose than to make even more available weapons that have the potential to inflict grave bodily harm and death upon innocents," Los Gatos resident Dr. Ken Hoffman wrote to city officials.
Resident Nikki Segall had a more visceral reaction.
"I am still trying to absorb the tragedy of the massacre of the little children in Connecticut, seeing this ... felt like a punch in the stomach," she wrote. "How could this be approved in a town that does back flips whenever a new nail salon or new restaurant ... wants to open in town?"
But the store's supporters dismiss the security concerns, noting that one of the owners is a Los Gatos police officer with a spotless reputation and a commitment to gun safety.
"This is a completely legal business, and you have no right to throw a tantrum because you disagree politically with the objects it sells," resident Jeffrey Seacrist wrote.
His father, Al, wrote that the opposition thinks "it's too good for guns," a belief that he wrote smacks of a "NIMBY, elitist, snobbish, limousine liberal attitude."
The prospect of a gun shop surfaced last summer, six months before the Dec. 14 bloodbath rekindled the national debate on gun control. In bucolic Newtown -- which is about the size of Los Gatos -- a troubled 20-year-old man fatally shot his mother, then killed 20 elementary-school students and six adults before committing suicide.
The Los Gatos shop, Templar Sports, opened two weeks later, drawing a handful of protesters. The owners had obtained a business license in June without public review -- but in conformance with the law -- because of the absence of local gun regulations.
A small taupe-colored, flat-roofed building, Templar is on the less glamorous, north side of University Avenue, near an auto body shop. The blacked-out windows provide no clue that guns are sold. Inside, amid a modest amount of fishing gear, pistols, revolvers and rifles line the walls and fill glass cabinets, making up the bulk of merchandise.
At least three Los Gatos hardware or sporting goods stores, as well as private dealers, used to sell firearms. But Templar is the town's first store devoted primarily to guns.
When the owners were on the verge of filing for a business license in mid-June, they met with police Chief Scott Seaman. He emailed Town Manager Greg Larson that a gun store would be a "value to the community" by catering to sports enthusiasts. However, he also noted "the likelihood of community resistance to the idea of a 'gun shop.' " Templar received its business license about three days later.
But the council was not informed until about 74 days later, at the end of August. Even then, the item was buried in a list of "Items of Interest" after "Downtown Lights" and "Solid Waste Contract."
However, when the idea of the gun shop first came to Seaman and Larson, it was not only before Newtown, but also a month before the massacre at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. Back then, opening a gun shop was not quite as controversial as it has now become.
With accusations flying around charging secrecy, underhandedness by city staff members and favoritism toward the police officer, the Town Council scheduled a special hearing in early February that ultimately stretched five hours, drew 400 people and had to be continued the following week.
The council told the public there was nothing they could do about Templar. However, the panel agreed to consider a temporary moratorium on any additional gun sales by anyone in the town while it studies which permanent regulations to adopt.
"Our recommendations ... would move Los Gatos from being one of the historically least restrictive cities on guns," Larson said, "to one of the strongest in California, but still in keeping with the law and respecting the Second Amendment."

Student project is 'outrunning cancer'
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 9:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 9:16 p.m.
Ross Mullooly wants people to turn out Dec. 15 for his run to beat cancer.
Mullooly, a Nicholls State University student, is in his second bout with colorectal cancer and has created a nonprofit called The Ross Mullooly Project to support organizations like the American Cancer Society's Patrick F. Taylor Hope Lodge, which helps cancer patients and their families.
Mullooly's upcoming event is called The Ross Mullooly Project: Outrunning Cancer. To kick it off is a 5k run hosted by the Bayou Runners Association. Registration for the run/walk will begin at 9 a.m. Participants will meet at the Houma Courthouse Square and start the run at 10 a.m.
The cost of the run/walk is $20 per person and $15 for children age 12 and under. All participants who register by Dec. 1 will be guaranteed a shirt.
Following the run, people can participate in a blood drive, silent auction and raffle while enjoying a live performance from Bandit with complimentary food and drinks.
Those who donate blood will also receive a free T-shirt. Ochsner Health System will give $10 to the Hope Lodge for each blood donation.
Raffle tickets will be available for $5, and winners will be announced at 1 p.m. All proceeds will be donated to Hope Lodge, the Children's Miracle Network and other charities.
"I found out my cancer has reoccurred, so I won't be able to go to school again. I just wanted give back to the people that have helped me. The organizations that will benefit from this, they truly help, and they need to be around for years to come," Mullooly said.
Mullooly said if it wasn't for his mother and the community, this event wouldn't be possible.

About the Book
In Arise, the mesmerizing, romantic sequel to YA paranormal novel Hereafter, Tara Hudson takes the story of Amanda, a ghost girl adrift between the worlds of the living and the dead to New Orleans. Amanda has found love with Joshua, a human boy. But as powerful as their love is, it may not be strong enough to break the barrier between life and death.
Evil spirits have been threatening Amanda. She is terrified they will hurt those she cares about, especially Joshua. When Gabrielle, a beautiful girl Amanda meets at the Conjure Café in New Orleans, offers Amanda the possibility of a different life, Amanda agrees to meet her in at the St. Louis Number One Cemetery at midnight. There, Amanda finds a Voodoo circle. Once she steps inside, everything will change.
New Orleans Saint Louis Number One Cemetery: A night there can change a life...or a death.
Increasingly worried that dark spirits will carry out their threats and hurt the people she cares for most, Amelia is ready to try anything to protect them. And for his own very different reasons, Joshua has come to this cemetery at midnight to participate in a powerful ritual.
Both know that once Amelia steps into the circle, everything will change.
Tara Hudson's enthralling sequel to Hereafter brings a thrilling new dimension to her already mesmerizing story of a haunted love.

Critical Praise
With a lush and vibrant new setting, fans of the Beautiful Creatures series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl (Little, Brown) will find a similarly haunting, atmospheric feel in the tortured romance of the Hereafter series. — Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
Again, Hudson earns a spot in the paranormal-romance front ranks, with a fast-unfolding plot and intriguing characters. Leaving small-town Oklahoma for New Orleans might be a bad move for Amelia, but it's great for readers. A creditable second act; genre fans won't be disappointed. — Kirkus

GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany - American skier Alice McKennis has broken a bone in her right leg after crashing during a World Cup downhill race in Germany. McKennis received treatment on the slope and was evacuated by helicopter to a hospital and diagnosed with a fracture in the upper shinbone. Kyle Wilkens, the medical director for the U.S. ski team, said in a statement that McKennis fractured her "right tibial plateau" and she is "stable and will undergo further evaluation to determine the next steps for treatment." McKennis, of Glenwood Springs, earned her first World Cup victory in a downhill in January in St. Anton, Austria.

Father accused of beheading son gets a third competency hearing
Published: Monday, September 16, 2013 at 8:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 16, 2013 at 10:21 p.m.
A judge will decide in November whether a Thibodaux man accused of decapitating his son in 2011 is mentally fit to stand trial.
Jeremiah Wright, 32, was in court Monday for a brief status hearing in which Judge John LeBlanc scheduled hearings from Nov. 4 through Nov. 6 to decide whether he is competent for trial.
Clad in a red jumpsuit with his arms bound by chains, Wright sat emotionless in the front of LeBlanc's court, his eyes occasionally scanning the dozen or so gathered there.
He is accused of first-degree murder in the death and dismemberment of his son, 7-year-old Jori Lirette, on Aug. 14, 2011.
The boy's severed head was found in the driveway of the home Wright shared with the boy's mother, Jesslyn Lirette. His other body parts were found in nearby trash bags. Before his death, Jori was confined to a wheelchair and fed through a tube.
On Feb. 19, Judge John LeBlanc concluded for the second time that Wright is incompetent to stand trial following a six-day hearing that included testimony from doctors who maintained he was competent.
Wright was sent to a mental hospital in Jackson on March 6 and is now in the Lafourche Parish jail.
His competency hearing earlier this year cost the parish more than $170,000, District Attorney Cam Morvant said.

A Stillwater massage parlor owner has been convicted of criminal sexual conduct after four women accused him of unwanted fondling.
Thirty-six-year-old Amir Abd El Malak was charged with five counts of criminal sexual conduct for alleged inappropriate touching during massages at Land of Pharaohs massage parlor. Malak was the business owner.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports (http://bit.ly/UFHr0V) he was found guilty of two counts and acquitted of the others on Friday.
The charges each carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and/or a $20,000 fine.
His sentencing is scheduled for March 18.
Until then, Washington County district court judge Ellen Maas ordered Malak to surrender his passport and stop giving massages.

I recently started a new podcast where people like you and me have the chance to put questions to key people in our community. While doing that I discovered some aspects of our community that I feel are often over looked in the drive to find new users.
Why I did it
For those of you who don't know, I recently put together a new podcast where people like you and me had the chance to put questions to a panel of key players from the world of free software. I'm afraid I can't claim to know where the idea came from anymore, but what I do know is that after having the idea, and seeing it to fruition, I'm really pleased I had it!
To be honest, however, it was one of those things that occurs to you and you think "yeah, great" but never really believe it will happen; this time, I thought the idea was a good one and decided to give it a shot. So, I went about finding the email addresses of some people I thought would be interesting to hear speak and dropped them a note explaining my idea. Something surprising happened too: they replied. More than that, they were happy to take part!
Something surprising happened too: they replied. More than that, they were happy to take part!
Initially, I thought it was a good idea simply because I always enjoy reading interviews and hearing people talk passionately (and knowledgeably!) about a subject I'm interested in. Add to that, the format of ordinary people asking the questions works really well on the BBC radio show Any Questions. After getting the replies, though, and reading some of their comments in the messages I started to realise that it could be more than just an interesting listen.
It was an opportunity for those of us who usually struggle to make contributions elsewhere in the community—whether due to a lack of time, lack of technical knowledge (as is often my situation!), lack of confidence or any other reason from a myriad of possibilities—to ask a quick question and get some feedback from those right at the centre of our community. It was also an opportunity to rediscover the principles that underlie everything we do in the free software world: to rediscover the importance of freedom.
The good times...
There is, in my opinion, something special about free software: I started using GNU/Linux about a year ago now and all the way through my transition from proprietary software there has been a huge number of people willing to support me however they could. I saw this attitude reflected once again in the generous responses from the guests, who, despite busy schedules, family commitments and, in one case, a hangover, gave up their time to talk on a show being put together by a gap year student with no previous experience! This sense of community is, in actual fact, only half of why I think free software to be special; I had only considered the other half, until recently, marginally important. This "other half" is freedom.
I'd always thought the terms "open source software" and "free software" to be interchangeable, but while in the initial stages of preparation Richard Stallman pointed out to me the difference between these two terms. "OK" I thought, and I investigated a little and found that this is the case. I still failed, however, to see why the difference is important—why freedom is important.
While making the actual recording, though, this began to change: Richard Stallman's suggestion that he was influenced by growing up in the United States in the '60s demonstrated to me how free software links so strongly with values of fundamental importance to us all; Jeremy Allison's door handle analogy is a clear practical example of why these freedoms are important; also, Jeff Waugh's comments that he loved having a community out there "creating fantastic stuff" with free tools highlighted, for me, how freedom is at the very centre of our community.
...and the bad
Of course, in putting this together it wasn't all generous responses and grand realisations of the importance of freedom: I had my fair share of times when I panicked about getting enough questions to ask the guests; fears that nobody would know about it, or that nobody would want to listen. On a few occasions, I blamed the community for these moments, but in all honesty, it was me who was responsible.
I thought it would be easy: I would post to Digg and Slashdot, lots of traffic would be driven to me and questions would be plentiful! I was wrong. The internet is a very big place and starting something new on it was never going to be easy. The free software community, though, came through for me once again (as it had all those other times when I needed to set up printer networking, figure out how to record a VoIP conversation etc etc!). Free Software Magazine put up a blog post about it, Linux Format put it on their front page news section, people responded in forums, mailing lists and IRC, and, in the end, we got some great questions to make, in my opinion, a great show.
The moments when I did blame the community, though, opened my eyes to some things, which I don't think I'd ever have considered otherwise. All that I know about the ideals and philosophy behind free software—until recently—had been based on hearsay, on piecing together little bits of information I found here and there. This had on some occasions resulted in misconceptions. More importantly, however, it had prevented me from gaining a deeper appreciation of why free software is so important, about why the community is the way it is and about how freedom is at the core of everything we do.
Freedom is at the core of everything we do
Moving on from here
I suppose my point is this: we want to expand the numbers of people using free software because the software itself is really good, but this isn't our strongest selling point, nor our most significant. As much as we'd rather not admit it, proprietary software isn't bad (in quality terms); where it fails is in the lack of freedoms it gives to its users, the very place we are strongest. The next time you're trying to convince someone to try GNU/Linux, tell them the door handle story, tell them about DRM and point them in the direction of GNU's philosophy links—help them to understand. In doing so, they'll discover not just great software, but a welcoming and knowledgeable community, who care passionately (and with good reason too!) about freedom. Perhaps, even take the time to do these things yourself, or to listen to the discussion in the podcast and remember why we all love this community.
Why don't you use a Creative Commons license? Of course, this holds for all articles of FSM.
Good points
Those are some good points Jonathan. I really liked your first podcast, and I'm really looking forward to the one with Mark Shuttleworth, especially to find out if my question is asked. That's a very good point that simply citing practical advantages of free (as in freedom) software isn't necessarily the best way to bring as many people as possible to using GNU/Linux, even if that's all you want. If the 'open source' development model was really that good, all free software would be much better than its proprietary counterparts. GNU/Linux would be a lot better for normal desktop users than Windows or OS X, and I'd say it's still lacking some features for them. Freedom is by far the most important aspect for me, and proprietary software can't compete in that respect, though it can easily compete technically. Freedom is also something everyone knows and cares about (at least to some extent), and having it as the focal point is more relevant to the general population and less geeky than talking specifically about 'source code' as the main point.
On a different note, in response to 'Anonymous coward''s point, I would recommend using a free licence such as the CC-by-sa, GNU FDL or CC-by for your podcasts and blog entries, so that people can quote them and use small parts in derivative works. I assume you use that 'verbatim copying only' licence because the FSF does that. RMS's reason for it seems to be that you shouldn't modify a work of opinion because it distorts their viewpoint. I don't agree with that, because I don't think it does that as long as you make it clear that you've modified it, and don't represent your derivative work as the original. I'm going to email him about that when I get round to it. Personally, I'd like to be able to quote works like yours without having to either include the whole work or risk breaking the law. I've seen at least one article before where they wanted to quote something RMS said, but they couldn't without including the whole of a long article, so they just linked to it. I also don't want to have to rely on 'fair use' or 'fair dealing' to avoid breaking the law.
However, 'Anonymous coward' has fallen into the common trap of treating all of the Creative Commons licences as one thing. I don't recommend you use "a Creative Commons license", because they don't have any particular freedom in common, and some of them are very restrictive. I definitely wouldn't like you to use the Developing Nations License, because I live in a 'developed country', so I wouldn't even have the freedom to distribute copies verbatim, commercially or noncommercially.

GNU - free as in freedom
Plattski's Third Law of the Universe
Always remember that "Laziness trumps everything". When people buy software, they're not looking for some ivory tower of intellectual purity, nor are they (really) looking for something that's visually appealing. First and foremost, they're looking for their problem to be solved...whatever problem it is. In the case of an OS, it's a matter of which one makes it easier to interact with their computer; in the case of digital media, which one allows them to enjoy their media experience without a lot of effort on their part. Once you've actually SOLVED their problem, then you can concern yourself with trying to be visually appealing.
How did you get the guests?
I once made a podcast similar to yours. It interviewed software developers. The problem was, half of the people I emailed never wrote back. The other half wrote back once, and never responded again. I only got one show out (with Phil Crosby, author of InstallPad), and almost interviewed the creator of Babelgum (until I found he was in Italy. The costs of calling Italy would have been more than the income I would make).
Anyway, good luck on the show! May it not end like mine ;-)

NEW YORK -- Stevie Wonder says he won't perform in Florida and other states with a "stand your ground" law.
In a video posted on YouTube, the 63-year-old singer said at a concert in Quebec City, Canada, on Sunday "that until the 'stand your ground' law is abolished in Florida, I will never perform there again."
Wonder added: "Wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world."
The "stand your ground" law allows people to use deadly force if they believe their life is in danger.
George Zimmerman shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin during a February 2012 confrontation in Sanford, Fla. Zimmerman said he fired his gun in self-defense.
A six-member jury acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges on Saturday.
Wonder's representative said the singer had no further comment.

The storms expected to finally bring Northern California a desperately needed deepdrenching this weekend after the driest year in state history aren't just random showers.
They are the result of a developing situation that scientists call "an atmospheric river," and recent research has shown that they have played a significant role in breaking droughts in the past.
Sometimes known as "the Pineapple Express," these rivers of rain are long, narrow bands of highly-concentrated moisture that are formed in the Pacific Ocean and barrel eastward until they hit land, bringing downpours and flooding.
When they hit California, they pack an amazing punch. Just one can carry 15 times as much water as the Mississippi River.
"It's essentially a fire hose of water brought up from the tropics that comes up and crashes into the West Coast," said Michael Dettinger, an atmospheric scientist with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla.
And one is hitting now, moving up from Hawaii.
By Monday, forecasters expect 2 to 4 inches of rain to have fallen over San Francisco and the East Bay, 2 inches over the South Bay, 4 to 6 inches over the Santa Cruz Mountains and Marin County, and a soaking 7 to 9 inches over parts of Sonoma and Mendocino counties. The Sierra could get 3 feet of snow.
That will almost certainly rank as the biggest storm to hit the Bay Area in 14 months, since San Francisco received 1.39 inches of rain on Nov. 30, 2012. It may even be the biggest in four years, when 2.48 inches drenched San Francisco on Oct. 13, 2009.
Another storm is expected on Wednesday, but that doesn't mean the drought is over. Far from it.
"We need a bunch of these. It's a decent beginning, but we need more," said meteorologist Jan Null, with Golden Gate Weather Services in Saratoga.
"The fire danger will go way down, and you'll probably start seeing some green in the hills," he said. "But hopefully people won't think they can go back to their old ways of using water. We are still so far behind."
Deep deficit
To put the lack of rain in context, San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco all have received between 2 and 3 inches of rain since July 1. That puts them at about 25 percent of normal for this time of year. Even if this weekend's powerful storms double that total, which is a real possibility, Bay Area cities will still be just 50 percent of normal.
"It's really great. It's so needed. But it doesn't mean people should stop conserving," said Andrea Pook, a spokeswoman for the East Bay Municipal Utility District, in Oakland.
The district's board on Tuesday is expected to vote to ask customers for a voluntary 10 percent reduction in water use, similar to other large Bay Area water agencies.
This weekend's storms will offer a reminder of what winter looks like after California suffered in 2013 through the driest year since it became a state in 1850, with reservoirs at record-low levels, farmers fallowing fields and fire danger high.
"Most likely we'll get ponding on the roadways, and urban and small stream flooding," said Larry Smith, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Monterey. "You could see some minor mud slides. It's definitely going to be a messy weekend."
The rain will provide residents a chance to put out empty garbage cans or other large containers to catch rainwater to use later on plants. It also should begin to fill depleted reservoirs.
Atmospheric rivers
On Friday, a team of scientists from NOAA, Scripps and other institutions flew in a plane loaded with weather instruments from Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield out 800 miles off the California coast into the heart of the atmospheric river now heading east.
"The goal is to better forecast these events: the location, the amount of precipitation and where they make landfall," said Ryan Spackman, with NOAA's Earth System Research Lab in Boulder, Colo., who is working on the project.
The term "atmospheric river" was coined just 15 years ago, when new technology allowed scientists to put microwave equipment on satellites that better measured water vapor patterns in the air.
Since then, scientists have come to realize that such systems transport huge amounts of water in warm, moist air like conveyor belts to California. Even though they are only a few hundred miles wide, a few such storms often provide the bulk of the state's annual water and snow.
Atmospheric rivers are responsible for nearly 50 percent of all the precipitation on the West Coast. They have been the cause of historic storms, Dettinger's research shows, from the 1861 floods that forced Gov. Leland Stanford to take a row boat through the streets of Sacramento to his inauguration to the downpours of 1997-98, which flooded Yosemite Valley.
Unfortunately, this weekend's atmospheric river doesn't make future storms more likely. But it does show that the stubborn ridge of high pressure off the West Coast that has blocked storms for more than a year can break down, said Daniel Swain, a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford University who closely studies the subject.
"There's no guarantee that it won't come back," Swain said of the ridge. "It's possible this is just a temporary break, but I'm cautiously optimistic we'll have more typical rainfall conditions for the rest of the winter."

OAKLAND -- The Warriors, for a moment, allowed themselves to imagine what the atmosphere will be like at Oracle Arena on Sunday.
"It's going to be crazy, as it always is," point guard Jarrett Jack said Friday after the Warriors' 111-107 victory in Phoenix. "Probably to a higher power, if they can go to one. I'm sure they're going to be ready to see us."
A win Sunday over the Utah Jazz and the Warriors will lock up a playoff spot. It's been six years since the Warriors were a win away from such a feat.
The Warriors (44-32) enter Sunday 41/2 games up on the No. 9 seed, currently occupied by Utah (40-37). A win over the Jazz would put Golden State 51/2 games up with five to play, meaning it would be impossible for them to finish ninth.
Not that the Warriors' work would be done. They're still trying to fight off Houston for the No. 6 seed. And heading into the playoffs with momentum, playing their best basketball, is still a stated priority of Mark Jackson's crew.
But Sunday, if they handle business, the Warriors will have a chance to stop and take a bow. To reward fans many deem as best in the league. To make their stamp on Warriors history as one of the few teams that didn't disappoint.
And they already know that means something to Golden State fans, who've experienced the disappointment of missing the playoffs 18 of the last 19 seasons.
"Ah, man. It's going to be fun," forward David Lee said. "It should be a playoff-type atmosphere. I think Oracle has been that way for about the last month and a half. Fans have sensed that the playoffs are a real possibility and that each game counts."
The significance of a playoff berth in these parts isn't lost on this locker room, despite the rampant talk of culture change and bigger goals. Seven Warriors, including four starters, have never experienced postseason basketball.
Center Andrew Bogut and guard Jarrett Jack each have one playoff series under their belts. Only center Andris Biedrins, swingman Richard Jefferson and forward Carl Landry know what it feels like to get past the first round -- and the first two don't play very much.
Officially making the playoffs is a big deal for this franchise and its players, especially considering the question marks surrounding this team most of the season.
"At the end of the day, the truth is we didn't have question marks," Jackson said. "This isn't a surprise to those guys in the locker room. They put the time in, they worked their tails off, and this was the goal. And it's not a shock.
"People have counted out this group. People continue to count out this group. We're going to continue to stick together and chip away all our goals."

Let's Talk About Life Changes
By Rebecca Teti
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Our weekend forum is for issues related to "the sandwich generation." Coping with menopause, caring for aging parents, relations with adult children, grandchildren, going back to work after years at home. Want to hash out a difficulty, get some advice or share a strategy?
This is the place! Come join the conversation!
Hmm, I think I liked the housekeeping for the weekend talk . . . it was light-hearted which is good for low attendance days like the weekend but still useful!
Thanks for the input, Lisa! We're going to experiment a little to try to appeal to all of CD's audience, some of whom have requested a spot for these kinds of concerns. Until there are some site changes to make Coffee Talk more findable, ALL the days are low attendance, unfortunately. Thanks for stopping by. Tell your friends :)
I think another factor that might be contributing to the low attendance is the inability to receive email notifications of follow-up comments. That makes it harder to have a discussion. I'm hoping this option will be restored when the kinks are worked out.
I will pass that along, Claire
Thanks Rebecca!
I'm sorta unclear about life-changes as a topic, but this is someone else's life-change I have a question about, so I'll throw it out there... We were recently invited to a gay wedding. We aren't going, but I wonder if we can/should even send a card. And if so... what kind of card?!
It refers to folks who are moving into middle age and beyond, Unknown. Maybe this will help, unknown: "Our weekend forum is for issues related to "the sandwich generation." Coping with menopause, caring for aging parents, relations with adult children, grandchildren, going back to work after years at home. Want to hash out a difficulty, get some advice or share a strategy?" I'd say your topic fits right in, under the rubric of "relations with adult kids."
Thanks, Rebecca (I'm the unknown who asked about the gay wedding question - was in a hurry and forgot to put my name!) I suppose I'm too young for the weekend forum, though... I'm a newish mom in my 30's. I'll stick to the weekdays. Thanks for clarifying so tactfully.
I know I am late to the party here, but I have a question on the topic if anyone is discussing it. How do you handle, tactfully, helping your parents navigate new technology and systems, and still respect them as the parent. My parents are in their late 60s and still independent in every way, but they spend too much money on cell phones and don't seem to be able to use their computer for email, video chats, etc. Their pictures are stuck in their camera, because they don't know how to download them. They want to do all these things, but are not that great about becoming the "student" to my teacher. Has anyone had any success with bringing their parents along in this area, while still maintaining the parent/child dynamic?
First, I think the weekend topic is a great idea, since that is just where I fall in the spectrum of life:) To respond to Danielle re: parents and technology, if you have children who are tech savvy maybe they could help, instead of you. Or else try to teach them without really teaching them, as in , "I tried this (whatever) and it was much better than the other way." Good luck!
At Danielle M., one thing that helps with my mother and her computer, we are able to log-in remotely from our computer to her computer. We are able to do whatever updates that need to be done, or close down items that have popped up... my husband recently logged on to my mother's computer just to rotate a picture. Being able to log-in remotely is great!
Guess this one is not really for me either. I enjoyed the housekeeping for the weekend. I could get tips and other helpful information I might happen to need on the weekend. I know there is an anything goes on Tuesday but I never can seem to get in on it. Maybe there two be two on the weekend -- one for housekeeping etc and the other for changing roles. There would be something for both that way.

Vindicating Vintage Port
Post by Chuck Hayward | July 22nd, 2011
Whatever the excuse, be it warm weather or too much wine during dinner, many of us ignore port. Since it can be hard to amass a serious understanding of a wine unless you drink it, I welcomed the opportunity to acquaint myself with some recently declared 2009s and the rare chance to look at how the previous three vintages are shaping up.
In the world of vintage port, the qualities of a specific wine are tied to the nature of the vintage as interpreted through the lens of each port house. Therefore, it is as important to know what the vintage brings to the table (err, glass) as it is to know the style of the brand. Over the centuries, each house has developed a unique flavor profile. For me, the ability of a port house to make a wine that is true to their style is of utmost importance, as a customer should know what kind of wine to expect when they purchase a bottle of Grahams or Taylor Fladgate port.
With winemaker David Guimaraens there to detail the vintage variations and sales manager Robert Bower— representing the 8th generation of his family's involvement in winemaking in the Douro Valley—along to discuss his port lodges, it was the perfect occasion to summarize the vintages we tasted and provide a preview to the upcoming 2009s.
Hopefully, I'll be drinking more port with friends in the near future and not have to wait until the winemakers of the Douro declare another vintage to keep up with what is happening in this special region. (more…)

What People Are Saying on Twitter About NBC's 'Community'
After five seasons, NBC's cult comedy "Community" has been cancelled by the network.
In a testament to the show's vocal and social media-savvy fan base, some viewers are already calling on Netflix to pick up the show for a sixth season, a la 'Arrested Development.' However, as Variety reports, Hulu already has digital rerun rights to "Community," which could complicate such a reprisal.
At one point this afternoon, five of Twitter trending hashtags related to the show, including #sixthseasonandamovie, #RIPcommunity and #thedarkesttimeline. See what fans and cast members had to say as they bid farewell below. Would you like to see "Community" picked up for a sixth season? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
Twitter isn't big enough to hold my condolences and more importantly my gratitude to the best fans, cast and crew in TV history. Excelsior.

Welp, the time has come. #Community has been cancelled. Still, FIVE seasons for a bubble show is MIRACULOUS! Much love to you all! xoxo

So when does @netflix adopt @nbccommunity and complete the prophecy. #sixseasonsandamovie

I've thought for a while, if Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/Other gave fans #sixseasonsandamovie (well, sixthseasonandamovie), it'd be pretty smart.
