Notice of Proposed Withdrawal and Opportunity for Public Meeting; Nevada
The Bureau of Land Management proposes to withdraw a 208.72 acres of public land from surface entry and mining for a period of 20 years to protect pubic health and safety from land contaminated by previous mining and milling operations. This notice closes the land from surface entry and mining for up to 2 years while various studies and analyses are made to make a final decision on the withdrawal application.

Comments and requests for a meeting should be received on or before December 10, 2002.
ADDRESSES: Back to Top
Comments and meeting requests should be sent to the Nevada State Director, BLM, 1340 Financial Blvd., P.O. Box 12000, Reno, Nevada 89520-0006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Back to Top
Dennis J. Samuelson, BLM Nevada State Office, 775-861-6532.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Back to Top
On August 9, 2002, a petition was approved allowing the Bureau of Land Management to file an application to withdraw the following described public land from settlement, sale, location, or entry under the general land laws, including the mining laws, subject to valid existing rights:
Mount Diablo Meridian Back to Top
T 21 N., R. 23 E., Sec. 32, lots 9, 10, 14, 15, and 16.
The area described contains 208.72 acres in Lander County.
The purpose of the proposed withdrawal is to protect the public health and safety as well as to prevent the filing of mining and mill site claims which would interfere with the reclamation of the Olinghouse Mine site. The Olinghouse Mine was the site of mining and milling operations for many years. The area contains two open pits, haul roads, heap leach pad, buildings, and ponds that can be hazardous to the public. The Bureau of Land Management intends to reclaim the site. A withdrawal would preclude the filing of mining and mill site claims while the site is being reclaimed.
For a period of 90 days from the date of publication of this notice, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the proposed withdrawal may present their views in writing to the Nevada State Director of the Bureau of Land Management.
Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting is afforded in connection with the proposed withdrawal. All interested persons who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being heard on the proposed withdrawal must submit a written request to the Nevada State Director within 90 days from the date of publication of this notice. Upon determination by the authorized officer that a public meeting will be held, a notice of the time and place will be published in the Federal Register at least 30 days before the scheduled date of the meeting. The application will be processed in accordance with the regulations set forth in 43 CFR part 2300.
For a period of 2 years from the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands will be segregated as specified above unless the application is denied or canceled or the withdrawal is approved prior to that date.
Other uses which will be permitted during this segregative period are rights-of-way, leases, and permits.
Dated: August 14, 2002.
Jim Stobaugh,
Lands Team Lead.

Location: Watershed Physical Processes Research Unit
Project Number: 6060-13000-023-08
Start Date: Jan 01, 2010
End Date: Dec 31, 2014
An improved modeling system for inbank and overbank sediment transport will be developed by coupling the one-dimensional (1D) ARS channel evolution model CONCEPTS to a two-dimensional (2D) model of flow and sediment transport. The two-dimensional model will be stacked on top of the one-dimensional model. Formulations will be developed that relate the vertical flux of water and sediment particles between 1D and 2D models as a function of flow and sediment concentration in the inbank and overbank sections of the stream channel. The enhanced modeling system will be utilized to evaluate the water quality benefits of water-retention measures on floodplains.

|Problem sets
|The final exam
|Two in-class exams (15% each)
Lectures: 3 sessions / week, 1 hour / session
Recitations: 1 session / week, 1 hour / session
Physics: Physics I Classical Mechanics (8.01) and Physics II: Electricity and Magnetism (8.02)
Mathematics: Single Variable Calculus (18.01) and Multivariable Calculus (18.02)
Chemistry: Principles of Chemical Science (5.111 and 5.112) or Introduction to Solid State Chemistry (3.091)
The Physics of Energy is a new subject, offered for the first time in the Fall of 2008. The course is designed for MIT sophomores, juniors, and seniors who want to understand the fundamental laws and physical processes that govern the sources, extraction, transmission, storage, degradation, and end uses of energy.
The course is not aimed specifically at physics majors. It is designed for any MIT student, including, for example, an engineer, scientist, social scientist, or management, architecture or planning major, who wants to get a firm foundation in the physical principles that constrain the energy landscape. The course will enable students to approach energy issues in a sophisticated and scientific fashion, but without having to take advanced subjects in thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, or nuclear physics beforehand.
You may have heard about courses on the "Physics of Energy" offered at other universities. The ones we know of are aimed at non-scientists without a background in calculus or calculus-based physics. Because MIT undergraduates are so well prepared in mathematics and physics, we will present material at a considerably more advanced level. This should make the course more exciting (and more challenging). Much of the reading and background material for 8.21 is being created specifically for this course, since existing introductory books and resources on energy physics do not seem to be advanced enough for MIT undergraduates.
Part I - Energy and its Uses
Part II - Sources of Energy
Part III - Systems and Synthesis
Problem sets are issued weekly. There are two in-class exams and a final exam.
|Problem sets
|The final exam
|Two in-class exams (15% each)
Rather than follow the traditional format of theory followed by application, we will integrate fundamental physics with practical applications to energy systems of contemporary relevance throughout the semester. If you complete this subject you should be equipped with the technical tools and perspective to enable you to start to evaluate energy choices objectively and quantitatively both at a national policy and a personal level.

Location: Grain, Forage & Bioenergy Research
Project Number: 3042-21000-030-00
Start Date: Dec 14, 2012
End Date: Dec 13, 2017
Improved perennial grasses and legumes and associated management practices will be developed for use in the Central Great Plains and Midwest for bioenergy production and grazing when grown on land that is unsuitable or marginal for grain crop production. Perennial plant breeding technologies will be used to develop the improved cultivars. Improved management methods will be developed to fully utilize the genetic potential of the new cultivars by enhancing establishment, yields, and utilization by livestock, and all aspects of biomass energy crop production. Basic molecular biology and biochemistry/physiology information will be developed that will improve the breeding and management products. The project is a continuation of a long-term perennial grass project that has plant materials, management, and basic science studies in various stages of development and completion. Research will be conducted on both C3 (cool-season) and C4 (warm-season) grasses because both are needed in the region to maximize the length of the grazing season. Switchgrass, big bluestem, and indiangrass will be the primary C4 species and will be developed for use in both bioenergy and livestock production systems. Smooth and meadow bromegrass and intermediate, tall, and western wheatgrass will be bred for use in cool-season pastures. Native legumes will be enhanced for use with C4 grasses in biomass production systems. Grass technologies from this research when utilized on 6 million hectares in the Midwest could produce biofuels for 15 million cars. Beef production per hectare from pastures with new cultivars and improved management could be improved by 10 to over 25%.

Play Mega Jacks - Progressive
The object of Mega Jacks is to obtain a five-card poker hand that contains a winning combination. The better your hand, the bigger the payout (see the paytable on the machine). You choose how many and which of your cards are to be replaced. You may replace your cards only once.
Game Type
- Click Bet One or Bet Max to select the amount you wish to wager. Each click on the Bet One button increases your bet by 25¢. Pressing Bet Max increases your bet to the maximum amount possible – that is 5 x 25¢ – and deals the cards automatically. You can also click the appropriate column on the winnings table to specify your bet size.
- Click Deal (if you did not press Bet Max).
- Choose which cards you wish to keep by pressing the Hold button underneath the card, or by clicking on the card itself.
- Click Deal to replace the cards that you did not choose to hold.
- The lowest winning combination is a pair of Jacks: a pair of any lower cards (for example, Tens) is not a winning combination; a pair of any higher cards (for example, Queens) is a winning combination.
- If you do not obtain a winning combination, the round is over and you can start over. If you do, see the next section.
Progressive jackpot
One of the possible wins in this game is the progressive Jackpot, built up by all the casinos that offer the game. A small percentage of each bet, by every person playing this game in each of many online casinos, is added to a common pot. When a player gets the right result, that player wins the entire Jackpot (in some games you can also win part of it).
After a Jackpot has been won, a new pot is started, with the casinos contributing a base amount of money (called a seed). This ensures that even if you get a Jackpot result in a game right after someone else has won the Jackpot, you will still get a large win.
Please note:
- In some games you have to make a specific bet to be eligible for the Jackpot.
- If you get disconnected in the middle of a game round, your game does not change the value of the Jackpot. The state of the game up to that point is remembered by the casino; the next time you log in you can finish your game round with the same odds and without placing a new bet.
- If a Jackpot is being discontinued (a game is closed and removed from the casino client), you will be notified of it by the casino.
The Jackpot for this game works like this:
|Seed (how much money the Jackpot starts out with):
|1 250 x coin size
|Contribution rate (what percentage of each bet goes into the Jackpot):
|Win condition (the result you have to get to win the Jackpot):
|Royal Flush
|Win requirements (what you need to do to be eligible for the Jackpot):
|Play for max bet
If you end up with a winning hand, you can accept the win (click Collect), or Double it. Should you choose to Double, the dealer draws a face up card and you are given 4 face-down cards to choose from. If you choose a card that turns out to be lower than the dealer's, you lose your original win. If the cards are equal, it is a tie, and you have the option to collect your original winnings (click Collect) or Double again. If your card is higher, you win double your original win amount. You then have the option to collect your winnings or Double again.
You can also choose to Double Half, which means you only double using half of your current winning amount, and deposit the rest into your balance. If your current winning amount cannot be evenly divided by two, it is split into two as equally as possible and the smaller half can be used for double up while the larger half is deposited to your balance. Double Half To shows the amount you would win, including the amount deposited into your balance.
You can move the Double window (if enabled in the Options) by dragging it with the mouse. Doubling is a separate game round, and can be viewed as such in the Game History. During doubling the Bet screen displays the amount wagered for doubling. The Win screen displays the win amount for the current round.
|Bet Max
|Bet five coins and deal the cards automatically
|Bet One
Bet one coin or increase the bet by one coin (up to a total of five)
Click Deal to receive your cards after that
|Deal a new hand, or replace cards that you didn't hold with new ones
Select the cards you want to keep
Click the button again to release a card
Cards can also be held or released by clicking on them directly
When doubling, use these buttons to choose the card you want to play

GHETTO MIASMA; Enough To Make You Sick?
By Helen Epstein
Published: October 12, 2003
Beverly Blagmon lives in the School Street housing projects in southwest Yonkers, a once-vibrant manufacturing area just north of New York City long mired in unemployment and poverty. Beverly has asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, gout and an enlarged heart, and her blood has a dangerous tendency to clot spontaneously. She is 48, and she had her first heart attack in her late 20's. One of her brothers died of heart failure at 50, and another died of kidney failure at 45, as did a sister who was 35. A young cousin recently died of cancer. In the past three years, at least 11 young people she knows have died, most of them not from gunshot wounds or drug overdoses, but from disease.
Monica, who asked that her last name not be used, moved to the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn from School Street a year ago. She has diabetes, arthritis and asthma. She is overweight, and the pain from a back injury that occurred four years ago makes it hard for her to walk or even bend over a stove. Her elaborately braided hair is tinged with gray. In the past year, six of her friends have died, all of them younger than she is. When asked simple questions about her life -- when she was born, where she grew up, when her three children were born -- Monica answers in short phrases, wiping tears from her eyes. She is 36.
Ebony Fasion, 22, and her friend Dominique Faulk, 17, both former residents of School Street, have asthma. Dominique's cousin Jo-Scama Wontong, 19, still lives in the School Street projects. Jo-Scama has lost so many people she loved to disease and accident recently that whenever she thinks about it, she is stricken with panic. ''My heart beats so fast, and I can't breathe, and there's just death going through my mind the whole time.''
Something is killing America's urban poor, but this is no ordinary epidemic. When diseases like AIDS, measles and polio strike, everyone's symptoms look more or less the same, but not in this case. It is as if the aging process in people like Beverly and Monica were accelerated. Even teenagers are afflicted with numerous health problems, including asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure. Poor urban blacks have the worst health of any ethnic group in America, with the possible exception of Native Americans. Some poor urban Hispanics suffer disproportionately from many health problems, too, although the groups that arrived most recently, like Dominicans, seem to be healthier, on average, than Puerto Ricans who have lived in the United States for many years. It makes you wonder whether there is something deadly in the American experience of urban poverty itself.
The neighborhoods where Beverly, Monica, Ebony, Dominique and Jo-Scama live look like poor urban areas all across the country, with bricked-up abandoned buildings, vacant storefronts, broken sidewalks and empty lots with mangy grass overgrowing the ruins of old cars, machine parts and heaps of garbage. Young men in black nylon skullcaps lurk around the pay-phones on street corners. These neighborhoods are as segregated from the more affluent, white sections of metropolitan New York as any township in South Africa under apartheid. Living in such neighborhoods as southwest Yonkers, central and East Harlem, central Brooklyn and the South Bronx is assumed to predispose the poor to a number of social ills, including drug abuse, truancy and the persistent joblessness that draws young people into a long cycle of crime and incarceration. Now it turns out these neighborhoods could be destroying people's health as well.
There are many different types of disadvantaged neighborhoods in America, but poor urban minority neighborhoods seem to be especially unhealthy. Some of these neighborhoods have the highest mortality rates in the country, but this is not, as many believe, mainly because of drug overdoses and gunshot wounds. It is because of chronic diseases -- mainly diseases of adulthood that are probably not caused by viruses, bacteria or other infections and that include stroke, diabetes, kidney disease, high blood pressure and certain types of cancer.
The problems start at birth. The black infant death rate in Westchester County is almost three times as high as the rate for the county as a whole. Black youths in Harlem, central Detroit, the South Side of Chicago and Watts have about the same probability of dying by age 45 as whites nationwide do by age 65, and most of this premature death is due not to violence, but to illness. A third of poor black 16-year-old girls in urban areas will not reach their 65th birthdays. Four times as many people die of diabetes in the largely black area of central Brooklyn as on the predominantly white Upper East Side of Manhattan, and one in three adults in Harlem report having high blood pressure. In 1990, two New York doctors found that so many poor African-Americans in Harlem were dying young from heart disease, cancer and cirrhosis of the liver that men there were less likely to reach age 65 than men in Bangladesh.

"*cooooo…CAH* Where is your master?" we hear Lord Vader spout in the darkness. And with that, all is forgiven, the sub-par prequel movies vaporize into nothingness, and I am a pure unadulterated Star Wars fanboy again. After the opening cinematic with Vader giving me, his secret apprentice Starkiller (incidentally, the original last name George Lucas had in mind for young Luke) my first mission, I take control in a tie-fighter production facility.If it were MTV's Cribs, my next line would be "And this is where the magic happens." The controls are mapped out with two things in mind: Ease of use, and utter destruction. Gamers that have played the Jedi Knight series will find a similar experience, but with the powers themselves amped up. Starkiller runs through a couple hallways and destroys blasts his way with nothing but force push to get into the hangar bay. Dispatch a few dozen Stormtroopers, learn a new force power, and then you get to pull tie fighters out of the sky. The demo, all told, lasts between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on just how much you decide to destroy, and it was 5 hours of the most fun gaming I've had in a long time. That's right; I've played this demo well over 10 times now, from start to finish, on every difficulty level. The gameplay just doesn't stop being fun, and this is only a very early mission with very immature force powers.

Your Representative...
Fighting for You.
June 30, 2014 – The Kansas Policy Institute just released the 3rd annual Kansas Freedom Index, which tracks votes on legislation impacting economic freedom, student-focused education, limited government and individual liberty. Representative Craig McPherson is 2014's highest rated legislator in the state of Kansas.
Economic freedom and student-focused education are not partisan issues. It is not about party affiliations or labels like liberal, moderate or conservative. Rather, it is about a philosophical belief in the role of government.
Legislative action in the Kansas House and Senate, whether in the form of final action or some of the many important steps along the way, are selected for inclusion in the Kansas Freedom Index based on the impact the proposed legislation has on student-focused education issues, the free market and the constitutional principles of individual liberty and limited government. Selections were included in the Index to provide educational information about broad economic and education issues.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site
Origin & Etymology of The Name Ghadames
Ghadames, or Google's Ghudamis, is the Berber Pearl of the Sahara, located at the edge of the Sahara Desert, close to the Libyan-Algerian border. The name Ghadames has nothing to do with the Arab-promulgated etymology of "ghadana ames" ('where we had lunch yesterday'), simply because it was known to the Romans by the name Cydamus long before the Arab invasions of North Africa in the 7th century AD.
Classical historians inform us that Tidamensi is the name of an ancient Berber tribe belonging to classical Phazania (modern Fezzan). Ghadames is a Berber Tuareg oasis inhabited by the Berbers from immemorial times; while Fezzan is a Berber-Garamantian country which Pliny associates with the ethnic group Phazanii, south of the Syrtis Major, and to whom he attributes the towns of Alele, Cillaba, and Cydamus. Hence Cydamus itself is a Romanised form of the Berber name Tidamensi: > Cydamus > Gadamus > Ghadames.
In the year 19 BC the Proconsul Cornelius Balbus invaded Ghadames during the reign of Augustus Octavius. Seven centuries later it was invaded by the Arabs. In total disbelief, and for audacity's sake, Berber Ghadames was voted by liars "The Capital of Arab Heritage" of 2016 AD.
Unique Berber 8-pointed star, built on wall, Ghadames.
The Old City (Old Town)
Archaeological research suggests that the old city of Ghadames is the oldest habitable medina in the entire Sahara, with evidence going back to the Paleolithic period. The oasis attained a high status in historical records from being one of the busiest caravan trade centres in the Libyan Sahara, with caravan routes connecting it with Fezzan and Sub-Saharan Africa, Algeria, Tunisia and the northern parts of Libya. One of the main features of the old town is the fact that it is built entirely out of mud and is completely covered, except for small ventilation holes found occasionally along its dark lanes and labyrinthine passages and streets. This ancient design has a good reason to be invented in the Sahara: the mud houses maintain a cool town in the summer and warm habitat in the freezing winter nights. In addition to protection from the scorching heat of the desert sun, the roof of the city acts like another city with complete open streets and lanes, exclusively used by women, to move from one house to another and from one area to the other. Hence it does not come as a surprise that Ghadames has been declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO.
The roofed streets of Ghadames are used mainly by men and children (above). Women use the special streets built above the roof (below).
Ghadames roof paths, strictly for women who use them to move from one house or area to another.
The Fate of The Old Town
This old city of Ghadames is now under threat as it is being slowly abandoned by her inhabitants. In 1983 the UNESCO was alarmed by the state of some of the rapidly deteriorating houses, and as a result they made some proposals to the Libyan Government to revive the old city. In 1990 a feasibility study was presented to UNDP by the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (Habitat), to the effect that if conservation work did not start in the next few years, Ghadames, a world heritage site, would become an archaeological site. It appears that it is heading that way, and it only comes to life during the hot summer months when the air-conditioning of the modern houses of the new Ghadames cannot cope with the scorching heat of the Sahara. It is blindingly evident that only the traditional clay houses of the old city seem to maintain an excellent degree of coolness beneath the Sahara's merciless sun. The walls of the old city are made of thick mud (mixed with straw), which are proven to have the ability to breathe through the natural microscopic cavities present in the clay structure, in the same way traditional clay pitchers and pots are used to cool water naturally. See what happens if you put some water in a metal or concrete container in the desert?
The magical sand dunes of Ghadames.
Have you ever heard of the phrase: "watch the sun set over the sand dunes of Ghadames". Well, this is what it looks like: a wonderful and memorable evening.
Ghadames Tuareg Wall Designs
Traditional red paint on white
wall designs & house decorations from Ghadames.
One can easily say that the people of Ghadames live art.
The interiors of the houses are uniquely painted with intricate Berber designs, using red paint on white walls, and decorated with hanging ornaments; giving the rooms a vibrant and fascinating atmosphere, which makes Ghadames truly unique. The traditional Berber designs used include the triangle, the diamond, the sun, the moon, the palm, the eye, the hand, and the Tuareg cross. The objects used to decorate the rooms include mirrors, ornaments made of palm straw (such as food covers), brass and copper, and Berber carpets, rugs and cushions.

I have started on atrovastatin about one month. in the last three weeks, I have had a metalic taste in my mouth. I cannot enjoy even the foods I like. I am eating much less and am worried about autoimmune system.
Hi, my husband just tested 268 for Prolactin and the only medication he takes is Zyrtec, which he has been taking daily for years. I suspect that the Zyrtec could be causing this, but see that there is a very small percentage of people who have reported this to the FDA. I'd love to hear anyone's stories confirming this fact. He is going to stop taking the Zyrtec and be tested again in 3 or 4 days. Any comments about your experiences would be appreciated. Thanks, Cathy

Muslims celebrate Thanksgiving?November 28, 2011 By: aamin
A lot of people think that Muslims do not celebrate Thanksgiving, yet they do. Now i'm not saying all of the 1.3 billion muslims follow this American tradition, but it is practiced not only in America, but even in Pakistan ( i dont know why..), but whatever makes you happy. The theme of Thanksgiving is what? To give thanks. There isn't a particular religious affiliation with that. As muslims, as Christians, as Jews, as HUMANS, we should give thanks everyday. I don't think I have to get into the whole people in Africa starving spiel, we should ultimately be grateful for the blessings that we receive everyday and not only that, we should share the blessings with other people! So yes, muslims celebrate Thanksgiving, we give thanks, we share our food, we try to give for the sake of God. Side Note: I had a wonderful Thanksgiving at the Sikanders residence and being a desi it wouldn't be complete without a desi style flavored Turkey! Gobble Gobble! Love your family & spend quality time with them! How did you spend your Thanksgiving?
Here is a great article written by A Muslim American about her experience : http://blog.chron.com/youngamericanmuslim/2011/11/a-very-muslim-thanksgiving/

It's a nice day for a white wedding in Zaatari refugee camp! Syrians set up shop for fellow refugees' big days
Despite living in one of the largest Syrian refugee camps, love is in the air for Zaatari camp's inhabitants and wedding boutiques are springing up to prepare brides-to-be for their big day.
Rowaida Abu Zaid, the owner of one of three wedding dress outlets operating in the Jordan-based camp, met with a CNN correspondent recently to talk about her business.
Abu Zaid, who worked as a hairdresser back in Syria, was encouraged to open the salon after one of her clients suggested that she rent out wedding dresses, according to the CNN report.
The mother of two, who fled Syria's war with her husband and children, has been living in the camp for a year and a half and borrowed money to buy a few dresses and start the business.
During the summer, Abu Zaid rents out four dresses daily. She also offers her customers wedding packages which include hair and make-up services for brides.
The CNN correspondent, Atikia Shubert, was impressed by the owner's attitude.
"I was really taken by her fearless attitude and candid views," Shubert was quoted by the Daily Mail as saying.
"She showed me how the simple act of applying lipstick is an act of resilience for the women of the camp," she added.
According to CNN, there are over 3,000 shops, restaurants and food outlets located on the camps main street, known as Champs Elysees.
The United Nations Refugee Agency is encouraging entrepreneurial spirit in the camp by encouraging trade and services, according to reports.
Over 2.4 million refugees fled the three-year-old Syrian conflict, seeking refuge in neighboring countries and elsewhere, according to the United Nations.

Product review: Curl 6.0 enrichens the rich Internet toolkit
,----[ Quote ]
| Since my review of Curl 5.0 last August, Curl won InfoWorldâs Technology of
| the Year award in the RIA category, Curl 6.0 was released, and Curl released
| three open source projects: WSDK (Web Services Development Kit), CDK (Curl
| Data Kit), and CDU (Curl Development Utilities). Curl can do some impressive
| things with graphics for a RIA, as shown by this figure.
| I applaud Curlâs open source initiatives, but Iâll concentrate here on
| reviewing the new features of Curl 6.0, which amount to a Macintosh port of
| the runtime, AJAX interoperability features, controls additions and
| improvements including easier customization, and graphics rendering
| improvements such as better antialiasing and smoother curves.
Enterprise Web App Platform Maker UnCurls Code
,----[ Quote ]
| "The decision to release all of the Curl source code above the RTE was made
| to encourage broad adoption of Curl as a viable enterprise RIA platform and
| provide all of the components required to support development of Curl
| applications," Richard Treadway, vice president of product strategy for Curl,
| told LinuxInsider. Â* Â*
Rich Web technologies debated

| With the proliferation of mobile devices however, HTML browsing will not be
| available on all these systems, and the iPhone does not have Flash and
| probably will not have Silverlight either, said Ferraiolo. AJAX, however, is
| always there and is open and can be counted on, he said. Â*
ECIS Accuses Microsoft of Plotting HTML Hijack
,----[ Quote ]
| An industry coalition that has represented competitors of Microsoft

| He said that when Microsoft and other companies create communities
| around their technology, it's usually accidental, not created by
| any ad placed strategically on a web page or in a game.
| "The Xbox community existed, but the Microsoft ads [in games and
| on Xbox Live] then got moved around quite by accident, not by
| design," Rasala said. "It's unclear that many companies can
| replicate that pattern by design."
| After Bach's keynote, it was difficult to find attendees in
| the hall that did not work for Microsoft. Nine out of 10
| attendees approached for comment after his talk were from
| the company.
Silverlight is about The Microsoft Web.
,----[ Quote ]
| Sorry, but I have to say something very rude. You clearly don't know
| what you're talking about. That is Microsoft PR talking. Can you say
| "credibility loss".
| Silverlight is about The Microsoft Web
| Silverlight is not about the World Wide Web. It's about The Microsoft
| Web. It's about getting fools to rally around Microsoft. After all of
| this time and experience with Microsoft, anybody with half a brain
| will be smart enough to avoid doing that. The last thing you want to
| be is dependent on Microsoft and set yourself up to be a DIRECT
| competitor with "Microsoft Cloud Services" down the road. Dumb.
| Foolish. Stupid. Smart investors won't invest one dime in your
| company and might even short your stock.
| Remember, it's Microsoft's cloud. Microsoft is not investing in
| huge datacenters all around the world for no reason. And, Microsoft
| will do whatever it takes, including operating that new online
| services business at a huge loss, to starve off any smaller
| competitor that foolishly chose to develop on the Silverlight
| platform. Microsoft sold $44 BILLION and cleared $18 BILLION
| profit last year. How many billions did you make last year?
Microsoft's Silverlight Promises to Disrupt Linux Web Users
,----[ Quote ]
| Just as it seemed that Linux users (especially 64-bit users) would
| finally be able to enjoy streaming content with a minimum of
| hassle, Microsoft's new Silverlight software promises to throw a
| wrench in the works. Because of sites like Google Video and
| Youtube, Flash video has become a common means of streaming
| multimedia over the Internet.

| The next point is the availability of the tools. Even though you can
| view Silverlight on OS X, you will have no chance of being able to
| author Silverlight content without a Windows licence. This is a
| conscious decision. On the one hand, Microsoft wants to get
| designers using their Expression toolset yet designers will have
| to come across to the Windows platform in order to do it. It may
| not be such a large hurdle but it is a hurdle nevertheless. Ever
| tried to force an OS X user onto Windows? They cry, they scream
| and they want their (at times) consistent GUI back.
