(verb, past tense) A situation where a litigant brings action against an innocent party and is found out by a judge to be bringing the case in bad faith. That party is then said to have been "scowned." Has its roots in the SCO vs IBM case.
In conclusion, you do not own the patent to filenames. Therefore, this court has no option but to record a verdict of the plaintiff having been scowned.

Nebraska's irrigated acreage base expanded by more than 930,000 acres between the 2002 and 2007 Census of Agriculture years, to an official 8.56 million acres.
This moved the state ahead of California to be ranked first in the nation regarding largest crop acreage under irrigation. Since that last census benchmark, significant changes in irrigated acreage across Nebraska have occurred with the rapid rise in commodity prices and the drought of 2012.
Release dates of information from the latest 2012 Census of Agriculture are several months away, but other publicly available data sources can provide a fairly reliable indication of recent trends in irrigation development in the state.
The Nebraska Department of Revenue's Property Tax Division, which assembles land class data annually and the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources filings of irrigation well registration are both sources that indicate a similar pattern of continued expansion of significant magnitude.
Nebraska's irrigated acreage on the property tax roles as of 2008 totaled 8.61 million acres (which corresponds closely with 2007 census levels, which would essentially have been collected in that same time frame). Comparing the same data set for 2013, it shows an increase of some 486,000 acres; bringing the Nebraska irrigated acreage to nearly 9.1 million acres — a 5.6 percent increase.
As expected, the expanded acreage of irrigated cropland is greatest in the North and the Northeast Agricultural Statistics Districts, where water moratoriums limiting further irrigation development are not presently in place.
In both regions, there was a 14 percent growth rate over the past five years.
By county, the largest irrigation acreage expansion since 2008 has occurred in Antelope County, followed closely by Holt County. Both of these counties already had sizable acreage of some 250,000 acres under irrigation in 2008, but are currently approaching 300,000 acres.
When compared with filings of new irrigation well registrations, these numbers of expanded irrigated acres are substantiated. Since the beginning of 2008, there have been 4,075 new irrigation wells registered with the State Department of Natural Resources. Assuming that (1) essentially all the recent wells registered are being used with center pivot distribution systems, and (2) remote sensing analysis in 2005 which indicated the average size of pivot systems to be 115 acres, then the calculated buildup over the past five years would be nearly 469,000 acres — bringing total irrigated acreage to 9.08 million acres.
Moreover, the geographic location of recent well registrations across the state correspond closely with the county assessor filings of irrigated acreage increases.
As for what type of land is being developed for irrigation in recent years, the trends tend to vary by region of the state. In the North Agricultural Statistics District, assessor records of both dryland cropland and pasture acreage suggest that the majority of new irrigated crop acreage — about three out of every four acres — was previously pasture land. In the Northeast District, the land class configuration suggests that about half of the new irrigated land was previously dryland cropland and half pasture. For the other areas of the state, new irrigated acreage was essentially all from conversion of dryland cropland.
If the rate of irrigation expansion observed here over the past five years continues, we would see interesting new mile markers down the road.
By 2020, half of the state's cropland base would be under irrigation.
And by 2023, just 10 years hence, Nebraska's irrigated acres could reach 10 million.
The implications regarding long-term sustainability of our precious water resources are significant.
Can we realistically expand irrigation acreage an additional ten percent in the next ten years, and at the same time meet in-stream flow requirements?
Will policy limiting pumping rates of existing irrigation wells, already in place across much of western Nebraska, need to be implemented in the eastern areas of the state?
And what are the consequences of possible extended periods of drought across the state that force significant increases in groundwater pumping rates to an ever-increasing cropland acreage dependent on irrigation?
Clearly, Nebraskans and our elected officials must continue thoughtful discussion and debate around a common vision of seeing that our water resources are managed for a sustainable future. ❖

Washington, DC – A study from Children's National Health System is breaking ground in trying to understand the safety of wearable blankets and swaddle wraps, an area where there is currently minimal data. Published online in The Journal of Pediatrics, the study found that the reporting of sudden unexpected deaths among swaddled infants is rare but that swaddling should not take away from creating a safe sleep environment, such as having their babies sleep on their backs.Study detailsThe team, consisting of Children's pediatric resident Emily McDonnell, MD, and pediatrician and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) researcher, Rachel Moon, MD, reviewed incidents reported to the Consumer Product Safety Commission from 2004-2012. Although an estimated 5 million swaddle wraps have been sold in the United States, reports of injury and death associated with wearable blankets, swaddle wraps, and ordinary blankets are rare.Overall, only 36 incidents were registered and reviewed. Of those cases, 10 infants died while wearing swaddle wraps and wearable blankets and 12 infants died while swaddled in an ordinary blanket. Eighty percent of the deaths were in infants who had been placed onto or who rolled onto their stomachs. Seventy percent of the cases had additional risk factors like soft bedding.For parents: be cautious and maintain a safe environment "Our preliminary conclusions about infant safety, wearable blankets and swaddling still reinforce the idea that parents should continue to place their infants to sleep on their backs," said Dr. Moon.She advises parents to:
Currently the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends against the use of bedding in an infant's sleep space but wearable blankets may be used.Contact: Emily Hartman or Caitlyn Camacho, 202-476-4500.

AMD has proven to be a tough opponent for Intel in the server processor marketplace. AMD said that its latest architecture dubbed Shanghai is now ready to go. Shanghai parts are quad-core processors that are targeted at the server market.
Shanghai is also AMD's first 45-nanometer processor. AMD's last big architecture aimed at the server marketplace was the Barcelona processor that ran into significant problems in the market. One of the biggest issues with Barcelona was that the processors were delayed for eight months after their introduction.
Once the processors were finally shipped and available, AMD had issues with the performance of the parts and the CPUs suffered from other glitches. AMD promises that Shanghai will not be another Barcelona.
Pat Patla, AMD server and workstation business general manager, told CNET News, "We had some mis-starts in getting Barcelona to market and wanted to bring as much velocity to Shanghai as possible. Learn from our mistakes and, as a company, never do that again."
To help ensure that Shanghai succeeds and offer users a better experience than Barcelona, AMD put one engineer in charge of the entire Shanghai project. Patla continued saying, "the product that we put in the hands of our partners is going to be of substantial stability so they can do lots of early validation."
To improve the performance of Shanghai over Barcelona, AMD is counting on several factors. First is the move from the 65nm process of Barcelona to the 45nm process used in Shanghai. This will allow for more efficiency and better performance than Barcelona.
AMD is also moving the cache memory from 2MB to 6MB to improve performance and it says that instructions per clock cycle will be increased as well. Shanghai will also utilize AMD's HyperTransport 3, which AMD expects to be validated in Q1 2009. A 45nm desktop Shanghai part will be offered in Q1 2009 according to CNET News.
quote: As a result, the schedule for Shanghai has been pulled in. "Originally the plan was that Shanghai would launch in Q1 of '09 and we were able to pull that into Q4," according to Patla, adding that the product will not only be announced in the fourth quarter but vendors will be shipping servers in the fourth quarter.
quote: Shanghai will be followed by a 45-nanometer desktop processor code-named Deneb, which is due to launch in the fourth quarter of this year or first quarter of 2009, AMD said.

The seemingly simple task of maintaining a constant volume isn't so simple for a cell. The cell membrane is readily crossed by water, which can flow outward or inward so long as it evens out the concentrations of dissolved ions and molecules on either side of the membrane. Water has no interest in whether a cell shrivels like a raisin or expands until it bursts like an overinflated balloon.
Since water tends to follow solutes, the cell can manage its water content, and hence its volume, by managing its solutes. In fact, the cell is known to have an ion channel, called VRAC (for volume-regulated anion channel), that acts like a safety valve. VRAC opens in response to cell swelling and permits an outflow of anions, negatively charged ions such as chloride ions, which has the effect of leading water out of the cell.
Although VRAC has been known to exist for decades, it has kept its molecular identity a secret, much to the chagrin of scientists. While they tried to discover the genes and proteins that account for VRAC, scientists failed, and so they had no way of knowing whether mutated genes and/or faulty proteins could lead to a poorly functioning VRAC—a sticky valve—to say nothing of causing disease.
Scientists, however, have just announced that they have identified an essential component of VRAC. In the April 10 issue of Cell, a research team led by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) described how it used a cell-based fluorescence assay and performed a genome-wide RNAi screen to find a protein that constitutes a major part of the VRAC channel. The research team also learned that the protein is coded by a gene that had been identified in 2003. At that time, the gene was catalogued as "LRRC8." It appeared to code for a cell-membrane-spanning protein, as one would expect for an ion channel, but little else was known about it.
The Scripps-led team has renamed the gene (and the protein it expresses) SWELL1. "Knowing the identity of this gene and protein opens up a broad new avenue of research," said the team's principal investigator Ardem Patapoutian, Ph.D., a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Investigator and professor at TSRI's Dorris Neuroscience Center and Department of Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience.
Details of how SWELL1 came to be identified are presented in the research team's paper, which is entitled "SWELL1, a Plasma Membrane Protein, Is an Essential Component of Volume-Regulated Anion Channel." The paper describes how human cells were engineered to produce a yellow fluorescent protein that would serve in a "hypotonicity-induced YFP quenching assay." (In this assay, the protein's glow was quenched when the cells became swollen and VRAC channels opened.) In addition, the paper explains how the research team cultured large arrays of cells and, using RNA interference, blocked the activity of a different gene for each clump of cells.
The idea was to watch for the groups of cells that continued to glow—indicating that the gene inactivation had disrupted VRAC. In this way, with several rounds of tests, the team sifted through the human genome and ultimately found one gene whose disruption reliably terminated VRAC activity.
Key findings from the study include the following:
The team now plans to study SWELL1 further, including an examination of what happens to lab mice that lack the protein in various cell types. Curiously, the gene for SWELL1 was first noted by scientists because a mutant, dysfunctional form of it causes a very rare type of agammaglobulinemia—a lack of antibody-producing B cells, which leaves a person unusually vulnerable to infections. That suggests that SWELL1 is somehow required for normal B-cell development.
"There also have been suggestions from prior studies that this volume-sensitive ion channel is involved in stroke because of the brain-tissue swelling associated with stroke and that it may be involved as well in the secretion of insulin by pancreatic cells," said Dr. Patapoutian. "So there are lots of hints out there about its relevance to disease—we just have to go and figure it all out now."

From the OC Register - On a recent morning Caroline Zhang took the ice at the East West Ice Palace the Rink That Michelle Built for one of her final training sessions before this week's U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Omaha, Neb.
It's cool how these beautiful, charming princesses are hard as nails, tough as bricks underneath.Zhang also proved something else that beneath the sequins and frills, behind the beaming smile is a fighter who, no matter how hard the fall, refused to stay down.
"I know the generic answer here would be to say I love skating and that I just want to keep skating no matter what people say, but honestly it's more that I had something to prove," Zhang said when asked why she continued after years of adversity.
Go Caroline!
Thank you for posting that lovely article. I always will have a soft spot for Caroline and wish her the best of luck
at Nationals.
I'm so glad that she's found her inner strength. I , too, was so excited for her at last year's Nationals as you could view it as the start of a potential comeback and how please she was with what she accomplished. Even if she doesn't medal again, she's still a figher and a winner.
I wonder if she is still positive after last night. Perhaps she should consider skating for China, the native country of her family, if the USFS doesn't want her.
I want to cry. Thanks for sharing!Zhang was an international sensation at 13, an Olympic medal contender at 15, a bust at 16 and now, at 19, the comeback kid in a sport not known for granting second chances.
Maybe she could go back to her old coach, MingZhu Li. But then again, China already has a new starlet, Li Zijun, and probably a swarm of new girls too. It's not like Dennis Ten and his Kazakhstan federation. She could end up in Ksenia Markova's position.
The problem is Caroline's jumps are still not great and she just doesn't skate with tons of speed which the judges like and she's not great in any area of her skating. But still her score was way lower then it should have been.

Excellent article. Go Caroline !!!!
As much as I root for Caroline to do well, skating for China wont' increase her chances of winning a World or Olympic medal, as things currently stand. It would likely allow her to got to World's or Olympics in 2014, if she had switched already. I think it's too close to Olympics for her to switch countries. Besides, it seldom works out as far as 'results' - Sydney Vogel switched to Germany, but I don't remember hearing about her afterwards, etc.

Vintage boilers are common in older apartment buildings and homes, complete with their delightful clanking radiators. (As anyone who has tried to sleep in a room with a radiator going full bore can testify, it's not the most fun noise in the world.) Sure, in an ideal world we'd replace them all with more efficient heating systems, but if that's not an option, how bad is it to run a steam radiator, and is there anything you can do to make it better for the environment?
You may have heard the claim that it's better to just leave a boiler going full steam ahead, because it takes so much energy to bring it to temperature. See full article.

A human sub-phylum characterized by its apparent affluence, worldliness, social affectation and addiction to fashion. Males are characterized by a semi-slovenly appearance (including half-shaven faces), greasy hair, rib-hugging shirts, tight jeans and loafers worn without socks. Women are easily distinguished by anorexia, over-bleached hair, gaudy jewelry, plastic surgery (particularly breast-enlargement) and their attachment to the male species. Both sexes greet each other with "air kisses," immediately speak of their last trip (often Paris, Rome, Majorca), spend hours at "see-and-be-seen" restaurants and exhibit a world-weariness and pained sense of irony.

A mildly derisive term used by North Americans. Refers to Europeans who: speak broken English, wear gaudy clothing that is probably fashionable where they come from, but isn't here; wear a severe amount of cologne and always dress like they are about to go to nightclub (even in the middle of the day); wear lots of inappropriate leather (especially leather pants), listen to bad electronic music, and rock lots of ugly-metallic jewelry. This term is usually only applied to dudes, because foreign chicks can have off style and still be hot.

CLEMSON Dabo Swinney looked up and didnt like what he saw Sunday. When the Clemson coach examined the BCS Standings he saw three two-loss teams ranked above one-loss ACC teams Clemson and Florida State.
No. 7 LSU (9-2), No. 8 Stanford (9-2) and No. 9 Texas A & M (9-2) are all ranked ahead of No. 11 Clemson (10-1) and No. 10 Florida State (10-1).
Its ridiculous, Swinney said. Were as good as anybody out there.. I dont think teams with two losses should be ahead of a Clemson or a Florida State. But some of that is perception. Some of that is a result of teams you play who arent having good years. You dont control that.
Swinney, who has a vote in the coaches poll, voted Clemson fifth or sixth in the poll. Swinney voted Notre Dame No. 1 because the Irish are without a loss, but he doubts that the Irish are the best team.
Id love to play Notre Dame, Swinney said.
Chad Morris new agent? Steve Spurrier:
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier sounded Tuesday is if he wouldnt mind Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris finding a new place of employment this offseason.
I would think his name has got to be on a list of head coaching candidates, Spurrier said. lot of teams have scored 34 on (Clemson) and that hasnt been good enough.
Cease fire?:
Swinney on the war of words between himself and Spurrier that has been on-going over the last year.
Coach Spurrier is an interesting guy, Swinney said. He likes to stir it up every now and then. (Spurrier) has a long track record. We get along, I dont think its personal.
No respect:
Tajh Boyd is not a finalist for the Davey OBrien Award given to the nations top quarterback despite having more yards, more yards per attempt, more touchdowns and a better efficiency rating than finalists Johnny Manziel (Texas A & M), Braxton Miller (Ohio State) and Collin Klein (Kansas State).
I dont know whats wrong with all yall, Swinney said of the media. I know Im biased but I cant imagine theres a quarterback better in the country. I wouldnt trade him for any quarterback.
Sack artist:
Clemson might have found the pass rusher its been missing since the departure of former star DaQuan Bowers. Defensive end Vic Beasley is averaging one sack every 31 snaps this season. He leads the team with eight despite playing a part-time role. For comparison, Bowers averaged a sack once every 41 snaps during his prolific junior season. For further comparison, fellow defensive end Malliciah Goodman is averaging one sack every 240 snaps for his career.
Dabo said it:
Swinney celebrated a birthday Tuesday and was asked if hes a better coach than he was four years ago:
Im 43 today. I was 38 when I got thrown into this grease pit, Swinney said. Im more mature.

It doesn't take a media historian to recognize that the Internet has changed journalism in many ways, but that doesn't mean journalistic rules and guidelines should be tossed just because technology has influenced the way the profession is practiced.
As any first-year journalism student can tell you, the five Ws and the H remain essential ingredients for writers who want to produce informative stories.
The five Ws refer to who, what, when, where and why, and the H refers to how. Writers may not always need to or be able to convey each of these important aspects in every story, but they serve as easy-to-remember helpers regarding what to look for when gathering information.
Because so many Allvoices writers rely on the reporting of other media outlets to recap the news in the process of sharing their original commentaries, analyses, or opinions, this Writers' Resources report is tailored to scribes who get key get information for their reports from material published elsewhere on the Internet. The same basic principles apply, however, when gathering original information as a reporter
To share your opinions on President Obama's State of the Union speech, for example, you would need to include some basic facts early in the story. If it helps, you can jot a note to yourself to help you remember what to include. It might look something like this:
Who: President Obama.
What: Topics the president covered when addressing a joint session of Congress in his State of the Union speech.
When: 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013.
Where: In the US Capitol building, Washington, D.C.
Why: Article II, Section 3 of the US Constitution. The "why" may not be relevant to your article on the State of the Union speech, but understanding why it is an annual event is helpful background information.
How: Not relevant to this particular example unless you decide to make quips about the president's use of teleprompters.
Let's say the president calls for higher taxes on the wealthy in his speech and that's what you want to write about. Your first paragraph could easily include a lot of important information without becoming clunky or awkward:
President Obama called for higher taxes on the wealthiest Americans during his State of the Union speech to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night in Washington, saying it was "time for the most affluent among us to pay their fair share so the rest of us can have a fair shot at realizing the American dream."
This is a hypothetical quote for instructional purposes, not an actual quote from the president, but it gets the point across. Notice that the opening sentence, or lede, covered four of the five Ws halfway before even getting to the president's quote. Obama is the who, the call for higher taxes is the what, Tuesday night is the when and Washington is the where. You also might mention at some point that the speech took place in the Capitol, or elaborate on his call for higher taxes on the wealthy, or mention how long the address was, but by including key elements at the outset, you've grounded the reader with solid facts and can go from there to make your own points.
The five Ws and the H are not necessarily limited to the event at hand. If, for example, you wanted to point out in your commentary or opinion that President Ronald Reagan had different views on taxes as a means of lending credence to your criticisms of Obama, you might quote from one of Reagan's speeches. Suppose you came across this article from Human Events during your research and wanted to use the following Reagan quote: "There can be no moral justification of the progressive tax."
The story informs you that Reagan was speaking to the Orange County Press Club on July 28, 1961, when he said those words. That much specificity probably would not be necessary to lend support to your point – but having key facts at your fingertips helps you lead the reader more clearly through your thoughts.
You would, of course, link to the Human Events report at some point. More about citing sources can be found in this Writers' Resource report. The bottom line is that citing solid, undisputed facts can help you present your opinions and commentaries, and the five Ws and the H provide a well-established starting point in terms of ensuring you've included relevant facts in the process of sharing your unique perspective on a given story or issue.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - While Santa is figuring who's been naughty and nice, Art Obsessions Gallery is preparing to usher in the season starting Friday, Dec. 7, with the Local Artist Holiday Fair. The event will take place every Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. until Christmas. The kickoff will be Dec. 7, with artisans and crafters selling their wares for unique Christmas gifts. "It's fun to fill the gallery with addition works of art during the holiday season," said Jane Lufkin, Art Obsessions gallery director. "We want to provide a variety of beautiful handmade gifts for shoppers and make it easy for everyone to shop local. There are an incredible number of talented people in Truckee making all sorts of things, but they have limited access to venues for selling their crafts. These artists need a place to sell their wares during the Christmas season and we want to help them get some exposure."Featured local vendors will include woodworking, jewelry, glassworks, textiles, therapy products and home decor. Here are some of the vendors you will find in the gallery:Alpine Glassworks: Sean Herr, owner of Alpine Glassworks has been blowing glass for 15 years. His focus is creating an aesthetically pleasing pallet on a canvas of glass. Sean makes glass bowls, plates, vases and Christmas ornaments.Archimedes Wear: Kathy Lockwood will be selling her felted bags, purses, and accessories that are unique, funky, colorful, intricate, eclectic, and fun. Cutler Creations: Cathy Cutler does pyrographic design on various woods making beautiful Christmas ornaments, sculpture and picture frames. Pyrography is a rare medium, using heat instead of pencils or paints, and wood instead of a cloth canvas to create one-of-a-kind natural pieces.Freckle Face Switch Plates: Kristen Anderson started putting her own artwork onto light switch plates in 2006 and from that, her image collection grew to more than 400, including vintage ski posters, crate labels, travel posters and many more.Nancylou's Couture: Hand knitted felt winter hats, fitting for the "mountain locale," have been Nancy Olson's specialty for more than a decade. Featured nationally and sold locally, Nancy creates artful wearables of wool and silk in her innovative designs. Nancylou's Couture showcases her love of individual, made by hand, hats, scarves and brooches. Her current "obsession" is crafting wool-felted soap, perfect for gift giving.Neat Tweets: Greg Zirbel creates one-of-a-kind, redwood birdhouses and bird feeders that are miniature replicas of local historical buildings. These creative and unique birdhouses are so wonderful you will want to display them in your home as art.Truckee Handcrafts: Jane Lufkin sews beautiful microwavable or freezable pillows and wraps for soothing your body, warming you and your bed. Stamp out cold feet with her unique microwavable boot warmers that will warm and relax your ski boots so you can start your ski day off with warm toes.

The bi-product after a good round of anal sex. Usually a mixture of semen, feces, KY Jelly (or your preferred lubricant), and, depending on how hard you jackhammer that brown eye, blood is also part of the consistency. Add mayonnaise and you have a Anal Colada!!!

UPPER SANDUSKY - It wasn't a matter of arrogance. It was just a simple physical fact.
For once, the Upper Sandusky Rams could look down at their opponent and they didn't waste the opportunity.
Instead, the Rams out-rebounded visiting Mohawk by 13 and were especially dominant on the offensive boards in powering for a 63-32 win here Tuesday night.
Article Photos
"That's the first time all year we've had a size advantage," Ram coach Shane Adams said after his club improved to 10-8 while dropping the Warriors to 6-11. "We never have a size advantage. We hadn't had one all year, so we had to understand that part of the game."
The understanding was thorough and so was the application. Upper Sandusky had a 10-4 advantage on the boards in the first quarter and a 21-11 edge at the half. Not surprising, the Rams built leads of 13-4 and 32-14 at those stops.
"They had 12 offensive rebounds in the first half," Mohawk coach John Arnold said. "That's something we talked about before the game. We didn't really execute our game plan early on."

Turnovers: Mohawk 11; Upper Sandusky 8.
The Warriors applied special pressure on Ram season scoring leader Joe Reile early, but senior Trent Howard took the lead instead by hitting a 3-pointer and a jumper in the lane in the first two minutes.
"I was OK with him knocking down that first jumpshot," Arnold said. "We wanted him to prove it and he did, so we shifted a guy over to him. But we were pushing too far onto their wings, on guys who weren't going to shoot the ball and when we did that, the backside boards opened up."
Howard tossed in 20 points, more than double his season average of eight per game. He had seven of those in the first quarter. Then Reile and Stuart Young each scored seven in the second period as the Rams opened the 18-point halftime lead.
The constant for the Rams, besides the rebounding edge, was defense. The North Central Conference leaders in points allowed at 42.2 per game limited the Warriors to 7-of-22 shooting in the first half.
"Everything's (written) on the (locker room) door and everything says defense for a reason," Adams said. "Defense is about selflessness, heart and toughness. That's what we want to be identified by."
Darby Walton had a couple baskets and Drew Loose and Grant Ekleberry had an inside hoop each as the Warriors trimmed the margin to 14 at 39-25 late in the third period. But Walton and Ekleberry eventually fouled out.
Howard scored eight straight in 1:14 span of the fourth quarter to seal it.
"We came out in the third quarter and did more of what we expected," Arnold said. "We expected to check out and so forth.
"We didn't score a lot of points and part of that was frustration," he said. "But we had five or six easy backdoor layups (that weren't converted). We just weren't executing. We didn't put the ball in the basket."
Reile had 13 points and Young had 12 to back Howard for the Rams. Freshman Carson Mittermaier had nine rebounds and Cody Collins grabbed seven.
Loose topped Mohawk with 13 points with Walton and Ekleberry each netting six.

Lawrence/Sweigers are probably my favorite to WATCH and I also hope they grow together as a team over the next few years.
I don't really know what's going on with Moore-Towers and Moscovitch but hopefully they'll come back strong next season.

Open thread: How do you describe open source to the uninitiated? | Opensource.com
Open thread: How do you describe open source to the uninitiated?
It happens all the time. You're at a party, someone asks about your work, and yet again, you have about 45 seconds to describe one of the greatest innovations in human history.
There's the public utility metaphor. The shared infrastructure "like a bridge or a road" idea. Waterworks. Rural electric co-op's.The car with the hood welded shut. The Wikipedia analogy. The scholarly tradition. Libraries. The scientific method. Bucket brigades, quilting bees, and barn raisings. Seed banks and sustainable agriculture.
When we try to explain open source ideas to people
who have never heard of them, there are lots of ways to go, but few of the paths lead to absolute clarity.
In our never ending search for the grand unifying metaphor of all things open source, we're wondering how you talk about open source when it's your turn to speak up.
7 Comments
I explain the licensing as "Acting in the best interest of the software, rather than its users or owners."
I used to go through one of the metaphors you've mentioned. Specifically the "car with the hood welded shut" worked well in many occasions. But it also leaves few questions unanswered.
So, lastly I changed my approach and started using the definition of free software which is very well written on the GNU website.
Wording accurately the sentences is very important; this is the piece I usually start with:
Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. "Free software" is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of "free" as in "free speech," not as in "free beer."
I also add a short description of the four essential freedoms and then use Linux as practical (and well known) example of how those have been successfully applied to build an operating system.
If I'm in short of time I make fast examples like the one of the cooker who teach his recipes in his restaurant or the one of the car.
But if I've more time I make a reverse approach: I depict a normal scenario for closed source software, with application and operating system people knows well. Then I show for each of the 4 freedoms the advantages of the open source over the closed one.
Suppose you have an electrician who is re-doing her bathroom... and then suppose you have a plumber who needs a new breaker box in his house. Instead of paying others to do this, the electrician and plumber can help each other out. With no money invested (except for materials), the plumber gets a new breaker box and the electrician gets plumbing work done in her bathroom. The issue is this: while the plumber is working on the electrician's bathroom (and the electrician, the plumber's breaker box), that is the only thing they can be working on. The thing they are giving, their time, is scarce.
So let's expand this a bit. Suppose that 20 people need a software program of some sort, and this program will take 200 hours to create. Now suppose they all have 10 hours to put into the project. Each person who puts in 10 hours will create value for *everybody*, not just one other... while their time is scarce, the object they produce with that time can be copied over and over again to benefit each one of those other 19 people.
I would challenge anyone attemping to answer this to go beyond software. How do you explain open source beyond software and/or licenses. I admit, I struggle with this. How can we tell everyday folks what the crux of open source is?
I would challenge anyone attemping to answer this to go beyond software. How do you explain open source beyond software and/or licenses. I admit, I struggle with this. How can we tell everyday folks what the crux of open source is?
That's a new one for me. I really like that.
It shows the multiplier effect nicely- 10 hours from each participant that benefits all 20 participants.
There's an idea of compounding value that I haven't been able to illustrate and this idea comes the closest.

EAST LIVERPOOL - Interested in seeing some amazing basketball talent combined with hilarious comedy?
If the answer is yes, the opportunity to do so is tonight when a group of local "celebrities" take on the Harlem Wizards in an exhibition game of basketball.
It's set for 6:30 p.m. today at Potter Fieldhouse.
Article Photos
The Harlem Wizards will play a game tonight against a team of local 'celebrities' at 6:30 p.m. at Potter Filedhouse.
Why is this happening, you ask?
It's a fundraiser for our local Salvation Army - the final event in the 'Summer of Sharing" campaign, which started in June with a promise of matching funds from the Salvation Army's Divisional Headquarters in Cleveland.
The local campaign's goal is $32,000 toward the Salvation Army's regular programs, such as monthly food distribution and utility bill assistance. All money raised locally will be matched by the Cleveland office.
Nate Conley, East Liverpool High School's boys' basketball coach, will serve as coach of the local "SOS" squad, led by co-captains Bill Crawford (Team Mojo) and Jeremy Williams (Heritage-WTI).
Other locals participating include East Liverpool Mayor Jim Swoger, Kent State-East Liverpool Dean Stephen Nameth, and East Liverpool Service-Safety Director Ryan Estell.
Teachers and staff from area schools scheduled to participate include John Dawson (LaCroft), Breezy Nelson (LaCroft), Jaime Fredritz (North), Gregory Boerio (City Schools), Jen Ludwig (North) and Quinny Carter (ELMS)
Local students Nikayla Edgell and Owen Crawford, both representing ELHS, and Samantha Bishop and Zack Mick, both from Beaver Local, also are participating.
And rounding out the roster are Jerry Barnett (City Hospital), Justin Allen (YMCA), John Stoakes (Homer Laughlin China) and Jim Mackey (The Review).
The Harlem Wizards are celebrating their 50th year of putting on a basketball show for fans around the globe.
And they currently own the longest known winning streak in all of professional sports of more than 2,800 victories without a defeat.
The Wizards promise to wow young and old alike with magic-like tricks and ball-handling as well as wild dunks and humor guaranteed to make you laugh.
Rob Pratte of KDKA Radio is the announcer.
Tickets at the door are $12 for the theater-style blue seats of Potter Fieldhouse and $10 for bleachers.
As a special incentive on game night, those who bring a food item as a donation for the Salvation Army's food drive will receive a token gift in return.
