Google's Book Settlement Is a Ripoff for Authors
Why allow a single publisher to throw out a functioning copyright system?
To get through the 385 pages of mind-numbing legalese of the Google settlement, it might be better to be Nino Scalia, Bob Bork or David Boies. Preferably all three at once. Absent brain enhancement surgery, understanding this monstrosity by May 5, 2009, is going to be rough.
That's the date by which every author and publisher in America is supposed to decide whether to "opt in," "opt out," or simply "ignore" a vast compulsory licensing scheme for the benefit of Google. Most, about 88%, are expected to "ignore." That's because they know their online display rights have value, and the last thing they want is to be herded like sheep into a giant contract commitment.
After Google began digitizing the University of Michigan library in 2004, the Authors Guild, the Association of American Publishers and a handful of authors and publishers filed a class-action lawsuit for copyright infringement. Last November, those "class representatives" reached an out-of-court settlement with Google that would, if approved by the federal court, permit Google to post out-of-print books for reading, sales, institutional licensing, ad sales, and other publishing exploitations, by Google, online. The settlement gives the class-action attorneys $30 million; a new, quasi-judicial bureaucracy called the Book Rights Registry $35 million (more on this later); and $45 million for owners infringed up to now -- about $60 a title. It remains subject to a final fairness hearing, slated for June 11.
No one elected these "class representatives" to represent America's tens of thousands of authors and publishers to convey their digital rights to Google. Nor are the interests of this so-called class identical. There is nothing more individual in the world than a book, an author, a publisher, and the value of a contract. The aging baby boomers now flacking the settlement don't seem to understand that PDF scanning (how Google and everyone else digitizes books) isn't rocket science; it's cheap and easy. Books will be digitized without Google. But the Google settlement sets in amber today's overhyped role of the Internet, ruled by that great and magnificent Oz -- Google.
Sound like hyperbole? Consider this: Under the settlement, every rights-owner in America is supposed to hand over all their private contract data, on every edition of every work they ever wrote -- and every excerpt permission ever granted to others -- at the peril of losing the money Google will be making on their backs. This is a massive burden on everyone in the book industry, making us all, in effect, Google's data-entry slaves. Indeed, in most cases such information about every permission ever granted is unlocatable. It opens a Pandora's box of disputes and mistaken claims about who actually owns what.
Google's erstwhile adversaries are paid off with the aforementioned Book Rights Registry (BRR), which will compete with the U.S. Copyright Office and the federal courts. The BRR expects to read everyone's contracts to say who is owed what of Google's revenues -- net again of all its costs, which are sure to be huge. Our entire dynamic system of individual contract enforcement over time and changing individual proclivities is thus to be exchanged for a forced, immediate squabble over rights, and static databasing, right now, of determinations made by Google.
The Internet was supposed to eliminate middlemen, not pack multiple layers on. The BRR is in fact merely Google's contract negotiation and claims department. As in Hollywood, the settlement deal turns book authors into fully subordinated, last-in-line net residuaries. This reverses the economics of books.
Book publishers today are entitled to a share of the publishing partnership because they shoulder -- not lay off on authors -- all the costs of editing and publication and marketing. The author's net profit share, generally half, in books, is for his creation. The author's share rises against the publisher when the publisher's costs are lower, as in digital. If the author shoulders still more of those costs and burdens, the publisher's share should be reduced again. That doesn't happen with Google.
We already have a good system. It's called the system of private property and free contract, designed for dispersed, autonomous individuals -- not command-and-control centers. The U.S. Constitution grants authors small monopolies in their own copyrights. Author market power is talent-based and individual, not collective. This class action seeks to wipe all this out -- just for Google. But U.S. law does not grant any single publisher monopoly power to herd all of us into its list.
For private gain, the Google parties now seek to destroy the health in the system that individual bargaining preserves. Disputes will be fixed in arbitration with no access to federal courts which have often shown mercy to authors. Arbitrators will be "you sign it you eat it" line-parsing bureaucrats.
Say goodbye to your rights, forever, authors, if this mess goes through.

Recently, I spend two very relaxing weeks on the island of Curacao, located in the southern Caribbean Sea, off the Venezuelan coast. It forms, together with the islands Aruba and Bonaire, the so-called ABC islands. Although it is still part of the Netherlands, Curacao has its own government.
The island has gorgeous beaches and the underwater visibility is around 100 feet, i.e., snorkel and diving heaven. My whole family went snorkeling, but only my younger son and I went diving. It is amazing how easy it is to dive there. You put on your gear and walk from the beach into the water, no boat necessary. Being underwater is being in a completely different world there is no noise and the colors are incredible. Learning to dive is really not difficult, and if you are interested in learning this adventurous sport, check out library books Scuba Diving by Jack Jackson and Scuba Diving and Snorkeling for Dummies by John Newman.
Although I knew Curacao is Dutch territory, it surprised me how Dutch it was, with the same grocery stores, the same food and the same tall, thin, tan, blond and did I mention tall people as in the Netherlands. I should not be surprised about the last one because the Dutch are still (on average) the tallest people in the world 6 feet 1 inch except, of course, for me. I certainly influence this average number and not in the up direction. Maybe I should check ancestry.com at the library to discover the origin of my shortness gene.
With 182 square miles, Curacao is the largest of the Leeward Islands (Lesser Antilles) but still very small. We went exploring every day, but still had a lot of leisure time. We all brought reading materials. My kids heaved stacks of books. I, on the other hand, brought my Kindle and my iPad, which weigh almost nothing and make travel much easier, especially because the airline allowed only one piece of luggage.
We had Wi-Fi in our rental house and I was able to download multiple books from the library. Me Before You by Jojo Moyes was one of my favorites. If youve seen and enjoyed the French movie The Intouchables with François Cluzet and Omar Sy, you definitely should read this book. When the coffee shop closes where Louisa Clark works, she needs to find another job. With no experience besides serving coffee and socializing with the customers, she accepts a job caring for a quadriplegic. Will Traynor had it all, a good job, a girlfriend and money to spend, until he was involved in a motor accident and his world changed dramatically. I loved the way Moyes describes the dynamic relationship between these two opposing characters.
The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith a.k.a. J.K. Rowling was another book I read. A mystery novel about one-legged, ex-army private eye Cormoran Strike, its the second book in that series. The first book in the series The Cuckoos Calling, was Rowlings debut writing as Galbraith.
If you travel with no access to Wi-Fi, make sure you download books from the librarys growing downloadable media collection before you leave.

The most popular and deserving people that are begging for the main event push. Many WWE superstars have never won a world Championship and are much more deserving to have then some in the WWE today. Hopefully some of these predictions come true because most of these guys deserve it. Other then the ECW world title.
I picked the list according to who I believed to be the most worthy of winning a World Title because the WWE is having a very hard time doing it themselves.

Restrictions on the Admission of Foreign Students
The senate of the medical faculty of the University of Vienna has adopted a measure with a view to overcoming the difficulties that arise in the study of anatomy. Henceforth, foreign students of medicine who have not studied in Vienna at least two years will not be allowed to matriculate until all Austrian students have secured their places in the anatomic institutes. It should be emphasized that this restriction does not apply to doctors of medicine and thus does not affect the postgraduate courses, but concerns only undergraduate students. The reason for this unusual measure is the scarcity of cadavers for instruction in anatomy. At present, the supply of cadavers on hand at the two anatomic institutes amounts only to fifty-eight, while there are about 350 first-year, 300 second-year and 260 third-year students who are supposed to have practice work in dissection.

Product description
The secret, as they say, is always in the details – and this is particularly true of the new RIP CHAIR. It is quite surprising to discover a solid wood chair with a flexible backrest that moves dynamically with your movements. This is due to the clever ribbed structure whose back elements are interconnected with carbon rods, thus providing an ideal level of elasticity. The open surface gives the RIP CHAIR a light and airy appearance, while guaranteeing perfect ventilation. The stackable oak or walnut chair can also be supplied with a colour finish. The RIP CHAIR is, therefore, a classic all-rounder for everyone – who enjoys sitting down.

Team Klitschko Confirm Tomasz Adamek Fight; Details
By Rick Reeno
Bernd Boente, manager of heavyweight champions Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko, has confirmed to BoxingScene.com that serious negotiations are indeed taking place to fight Tomasz Adamek in September. Contrary to published reports, there is nothing set in stone that Wladimir will be the actual brother to fight Adamek. The fight could very well end up with Vitali and Adamek, says Boente. Adamek is open to facing either brother.
"That's the difference between Tomasz Adamek and David Haye. Adamek said that he is ready to fight either brother, where Haye said that he would not fight Vitali and would only fight Wladimir," Boente told BoxingScene.com.
Wladimir is scheduled to defend his WBO/IBO/IBF titles against Dereck Chisora on April 30. Adamek is going to return on April 16, and Vitali Klitschko defends his WBC belt against Odlanier Solis in March. The schedules of both brothers will be crucial in the finalization of which of them enters the Adamek fight.
Both sides are seriously exploring the idea of staging the fight at a new soccer stadium in Poland
"The important thing is, is that everyone is willing to do this fight. You won't believe how many phone calls that I've already got from Polish journalists. It's unbelievable. It would also be the grand opening of that stadium, which is new. All of these stadiums are being built for the European championships next year. We have to see the schedules. Wladimir has Chisora in April and Vitali will have Solis in March and then he may want to fight again in June or early July. If Wladimir beats Chisora, he will probably fight in September, but first is the Chisora fight and then we'll talk about what's next," Boente said.
If Wladimir is the brother who decides to enter against Adamek, where does that leave a potential fight with WBA heavyweight champion David Haye on July 2? Based on the recent comments of Haye's manager, Adam Booth, who said the "Klitschko fight is a dead situation" - Boente is not going to waste his time.

General Motors Corp. says about 3,600 workers will be laid off indefinitely beginning early next year as the automaker slows down production at 10 of its assembly plants.
GM spokesman Anthony Sapienza said Friday the production line "re-rates," as they are called, help reduce inventory and adjust to shrinking market demand.
Four line re-rates will take effect Jan. 12 at Michigan plants in Hamtramck and Lansing; Wentzville, Mo.; and Oshawa, Ontario. More slowdowns will begin Jan. 20 at factories in Bowling Green, Ky.; Lordstown, Ohio; and Spring Hill, Tenn.

Blogs Liberty and Power Be Wary of the Center for Public Integrity ReportAug 16, 2009 11:18 am
Be Wary of the Center for Public Integrity Report
The federal government pressured banks to lend money to unqualified homebuyers. The federal government backed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which bought up those home loans, making them essentially risk-free for the original lenders.
The Federal Reserve made money readily available. (On these pages, there has been some dispute about that, but the disagreement reflects the time period under discussion; I don't think there is any doubt that from 2002 to 2004, under Greenspan, the Federal Reserve increased the money supply, and some would say to an extreme degree.)
The Center for Public Integrity is taking a selective look backward to see who offered subprime mortgages and whether they were the same companies that accepted TARP funds. That's almost tautological.
You will recall that Henry Paulson brought the leading banks into his office and told them that they had to accept funds from the federal government before they could leave the room.
I welcome any improvements on this chronology.

Maybe I did miss the point. My general view is that when lobbying has the potential for success, it will occur, whatever the price (within some extraordinary limits).
If you're saying they were stupid and sleazy, I probably agree, but the crime was not to let them fail. And that's a government crime.
Mark Brady - 5/7/2009
That's all very well, and I'm not looking to correct your chronology of events. However, as far as I can tell, you haven't addressed the argument that banks and other mortgage lenders who made reckless loans to subprime borrowers lobbied to the tune of $370m to keep federal regulation at bay, and that, if true, this makes them somewhat less than the victims of state intervention. It thus casts doubt on the narrative that free market commentators have told.
And no, I'm not a fan of the Center for Public Integrity and, no, I'm not saying that therefore the banks should have been regulated.

Royal Commission on child sex abuse has its terms of reference delayed
- From: AAP
- December 21, 2012
THE federal government has delayed settlement of the terms of reference for a royal commission into child sexual abuse until next year.
Attorney-General Nicola Roxon said work was continuing to establish the commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse.
But the terms of reference now won't be available until January, instead of this month.
"This royal commission must have a clear focus, the best people and the resources necessary to identify how we can prevent these terrible failures from happening again," Ms Roxon said in a statement.

Do you think it would be a good idea to have the X-Men movies be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, if Marvel got the rights back to X-Men movie wise?
Personally, I think that there might be some pros and cons to this. One positive thing about this is that we would see the X-Men characters finally interacting with the other Marvel characters, like the X-Men meeting up with the Avengers. The cons to this is that there are too many characters on both the X-Men and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so the storylines might get confusing and some characters might not have time to shine since there's only so much you could do with adapting comics to movies.

I want to forget the return to the airport flight. That right there has made me un easy about things. nothing is worse than being airborn and hearing your piolet say we are being orderd to return to Sea Tac and then feeling the plane just bank it and a then experience a verry uncomforting landing. When I found out about the NY situation a man yelled it out loud and most of us thought he was crazy. I rember walking off my flight back into Seattle and feeling this eary numb feeling come over me. the air port was a skairy silence while people swarmed around the TV's You could feel the tension around and you could feel the panick come over you. I stood there looking at the TV and still had no clue what went on. The first thing I did was head to Northwest to have them infourm Joost that I was badk in and that he needed to find me. Then the calls pured in to my cell and I knew that this was not some dream but real and that I wasn't just on the plane dreaming this. I wish I was though. I still have a hard time watching the news cause so many times I was there. The first thing I did after the attack and I notified everyone I was safe, was to call everyne I knew who worked in the towers to make sure they were safe. Everyone I personaly know made it but what if there was someone I once knew that worked in the towers????
Now I sit here and altough it is 5 days passed Im still numb. Sleep was very little for both Joost and I and I thought to myself how lucky that nither of us were on those flights. But would something go wrong for either of us today? We are not the only country that is frightend and hearing the fear from just his family and friends who call it made this whole situation more upsetting. We are Lucky to have such a devoted nation and at the same time the help of countrys around. I heard this and am not sure were exactly but it stuck.... " this horrible tragedy might not bring us another WW3 but instead world peace cause for once in our history so many countrys at once stand vigial uniteing us all." One man brought tragedy to us but at the same time he didn't judt hit the heart of America but the heart of the world and we are verry lucky to have the suport we do. I recieved the following from a friend of mine today and would like to pass it on...
An open letter to a terrorist:
Well, you hit the World Trade Center, but you missed America. You hit the
Pentagon, but you missed America. You used helpless American bodies, to take
out other American bodies, but like a poor marksman, you STILL missed
Why? Because of something you guys will never understand. America isn�t
about a building or two, not about financial centers, not about military
centers, America isn�t about a place, America isn�t even about a bunch of
bodies. America is about an IDEA. An idea, that you can go someplace where
you can earn as much as you can figure out how to, live for the most part,
like you envisioned living, and pursue Happiness. (No guarantees that you�ll
reach it, but you can sure try!)
Go ahead and whine your terrorist whine, and chant your terrorist litany:
If you can not see my point, then feel my pain.
This concept is alien to Americans. We live in a country where we don�t have
to see your point. But you�re free to have one. We don�t have to listen to
your speech. But you�re free to say one. Don�t know where you got the
strange idea that everyone has to agree with you. We don�t agree with each
other in this country, almost as a matter of pride. We�re a collection of
guys that don�t agree, called States. We united our individual states to
protect ourselves from tyranny in the world. Another idea, we made up on the
spot. You CAN make it up as you go, when it�s your country.
If you�re free enough.
Yeah, we�re fat, sloppy, easy-going goofs most of the time. That�s an
unfortunate image to project to the world, but it comes of feeling free and
easy about the world you live in. It�s unfortunate too, because people start
to forget that when you attack Americans, they tend to fight like a cornered
badger. The first we knew of the War of 1812, was when England burned
Washington D.C. to the ground. Didn�t turn out like England thought it was
going to, and it�s not going to turn out like you think, either. Sorry, but
you�re not the first bully on our shores, just the most recent.
No Marquis of Queensbury rules for Americans, either. We were the FIRST and
so far, only country in the world to use nuclear weapons in anger. Horrific
idea, nowadays? News for you bucko, it was back then too, but we used it
anyway. Only had two of them in the whole world and we used �em both.
Grandpa Jones worked on the Manhattan Project. Told me once, that right up
until they threw the switch, the physicists were still arguing over whether
the Uranium alone would fission, or whether it would start a fissioning
chain reaction that would eat everything. But they threw the switch anyway,
because we had a War to win. Does that tell you something about American
So who just declared War on us? It would be nice to point to some real
estate, like the good old days. Unfortunately, we�re probably at war with
random camps, in far-flung places. Who think they�re safe. Just like the
Barbary Pirates did, IIRC. Better start sleeping with one eye open.
There�s a spirit that tends to take over people who come to this country,
looking for opportunity, looking for liberty, looking for freedom. Even if
they misuse it. The Marielistas that Castro emptied
out of his prisons, were overjoyed to find out how much freedom there was.
First thing they did when they hit our shores, was run out and buy guns. The
ones that didn�t end up dead, ended up in prisons. It was a big PITA then
(especially in south Florida), but you�re only the newest PITA, not the
You guys seem to be incapable of understanding that we don�t live in
America, America lives in US! American Spirit is what it�s called. And
killing a few thousand of us, or a few million of us, won�t change it. Most
of the time, it�s a pretty happy-go-lucky kind of Spirit. Until we�re
crossed in a cowardly manner, then it becomes an entirely different kind of
Wait until you see what we do with that Spirit, this time.

All in on Bader.
Just takin a long shot that he'll TKO Vinny, but I don't have much faith. :dunno:
Bader has been my pick since the begining. Can't go back on him now. 10k on him. hope I don't regret it.
All he has is a puncher's chance...take a look at Vinnie's credentials. Once he gets a hold of Bader it will be over. Round 1 Sub.
Vinny all the way on this one. Although I do hope Bader doesn't catch him because his semi final was attrocious and after that he doesn't deserve to win the contract, He's done it once against a BJJ guy, he'll do it again.
Vinny by sub of course:)
That lay n' pray shit won't work on him.

Your 'Aha' weight-loss moments
About this iReport
- Posted April 14, 2014 by

More from INVME
Eating my way to being thin
After Retiring from the Military after 20 years of service I found myself gaining weight. Mainly because of my disabilities that won't allow me to do the things I use to do. I can't run anymore or lift weights like I use to without being in pain. It even hurts to sleep and when I do I never sleep for a long time. After I retired from the military I put on about 66 pounds of weight. I was feeling horrible and actually hired a professional trainer to help me at one point in time. I got so big that none of the clothing I had fit me like before. I decided before Thanksgiving 2013 I would make a bigger effort to lose the weight. Every time I went to the gym or tried to I would end up hurting and in pain. I decided to eat my way thin. I heard from a few people that if you just ate all day long you would lose weight. Didn't sound logical so I did a little research. What I discovered is that if you eat small portions throughout the day it cause your body's metabolism to increase and start up again. So, after Thanksgiving I started working on my weight. I had dropped down to 315 lbs. before thanksgiving and I started from there. Today I weigh 275 lbs. and I am steady dropping weight. I would like to get down to a point where I can start working out again. With my disabilities I never thought I would lose weigh again. But as of today I have lost 40 lbs. with a goal of 25 more pound by the middle of July; just in time for my Family Reunion. I watch what I eat now and I don't eat a lot of food with sugar or drink Soda's. I try to drink a gallon of water a day up from one or two glasses a day. The pictures of me in uniform is when I was weighing around 255 lbs. in 2010. The one of me with the reptile I was weiging over 300 lbs in January 2014. I cut the number of calories I consume to 1,800 per day. Starting to feel alive again for the first time in three years.

Some kids at school got into a tussle in the classroom because a Honduran kid decided to video tape himself stomping on a Mexican flag.
He posted it to social media and one boy saw it. This boy asked the Honduran what his problem was and why he would do that. But the Honduran did not like this line of questioning and began to yell.
The boy questioning put his hand up in the kids face to get him to calm down. The Honduran then pushed the kids hand out of his face and a shoving match ensued. A friend of both of the boys separated the two, and the teacher sent them to the principal for punishment.

I received a Christmas present,
it came with a bow,
it wasn't wrapped in glitter,
but in my heart I know
it is the greatest present
I ever will receive,
because it is my Savior,
in whom I can believe.
He lives within my heart now
and everything has changed;
when I am in His Presence,
I know I'm not the same.
Of all the lovely gifts
beneath the Christmas tree,
His Presence is the present
that means the most to me.

SAN ANTONIO - Results of final, round 3 eliminations in Top Fuel at the 2013 Nitro Jam Series, IHRA San Antonio Nitro Jam presented by CarSafe & Good Vibrations Motorsports Day One:
Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed 345 Bruce Litton 386 Kyle Wurtzel E3 ****WINNER**** 0.101 4.914 283.02 0.128 4.913 278.29 Prior rounds: E1 (N On File ) 0.124 6.558 135.50 (N On File ) 0.086 5.250 198.159:45 p.m. This time the boss showed the team driver the quick way off the starting line, though only by a couple hundredths, then held on for the holeshot victory.
Wurtzel's 60-foot time was bogus, a 0.576, but the two cars were never more than three hundredths apart anywhere on the track in a very tight race.
Bruce Litton's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(NVD),

Few RPG fans can claim to have no idea what The Witcher is, after CD Projekt pushed their book-inspired series into the spotlight with the release of The Witcher 2. In 2011, this game hit PCs, then made its console debut in 2012 on Xbox 360. The climate was right: the RPG crowd was desperately searching for a proper medieval game. The series is now considered by many a pinnacle of modern RPGs, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt aims even higher.
CD Projekt was, of course, eager to show the game at this year's E3, and we were equally excited to see a 45-minute demo of actual gameplay. For returning Witcher fans, all the basics remain, from gameplay to story progression, but everything you remember has undergone a few changes for the better. For the final game in their Witcher trilogy, CD Projekt pulled out all the stops.
Brave New World
First thing CD Projekt tends to point out is how big the third Witcher is; about 35 times bigger than The Witcher 2. The world has been expanded to a point where the entirety of the Witcher 2 lands can fit into a single island within Witcher 3. That's no exaggeration.
Leading Geralt to new territories is his endless pursuit of the Wild Hunt and its spectral riders. The northern lands he knew are now overtaken by the invading Empire of Nilfgaard. Don't fret too much, because the new world will have plenty to see and do. Each territory, according to the developers, is visually inspired by an old European culture or civilization, like the Nordic islands of Skellige.
With so much more exploration to be done, Geralt's going to need more than just his two legs. As such, alternate means of transportation like horses (!) and ships have been added, and as anyone knows, horses can only make a game better. On foot, Geralt is gifted with greater maneuverability, so be prepared to jump/climb/swim all over the place.
That Wild Hunt looks amazing goes without saying, and CD Projekt delivers once again in creating one of the most gorgeous RPGs of a generation. Even with that ridiculous graphical quality in an open world environment, the devs are aiming to completely do away with loading screens, as promised.
The world is every bit as alive as you'd remember, where villagers, soldiers, and folks from all walks of life go about their business, mostly oblivious to the protagonist. Rarely will you find an NPC standing around just waiting for help to come along, and really, that's always been one of The Witcher's best qualities; the world is a living, breathing thing that you can alter without having it revolve entirely around you.
Horse and boats aside, Wild Hunt also introduces a new economy, designed to suit a world as alive as this. The economy will change based on where you travel, which opens up opportunities to make money by playing the in-game market. Going to a coastal town means the fish will be cheaper, but other supplies like bear pelts might be more expensive. Alternatively, a mountain village might have cheap pelts, while fish are exceptionally pricey. As Geralt, you can buy low and sell high for a nice profit.
The foundations of Witcher's combat are still there, but fans might be excited to learn about certain changes that should make the whole system feel much more dynamic. You won't need to dodge nearly as much, CD Projekt pointed out, only because they wanted to create a more deliberate feel for the fights. In their words, opponents have a certain "respect" for each other. Now, the fights are more about actually fighting, rather than rolling around and hoping for an opening to land a shot.
The prime example of this involved a boss-esque encounter with a monster known as a "Leshen." After a series of conversations with the nearby town, Geralt sets out to hunt a parasitic creature draining the forest of its life. The ensuing battle saw the Leshen controlling wolves to harass Geralt, and summoning roots to hinder his progress. Through a skillful combination of sword and Sign attacks, he prevailed, of course. And then our witcher returned to the town to collect his reward, only to learn that the village's new leader is, well, borderline soulless.
That's really part of the whole Witcher setting, too, that feeling of uncertainty in a world of grays, where evil is not always in the guise of a monster. A seemingly benevolent action could damn a whole lot of people.
Welcome to The Witcher. We'll be eagerly awaiting 2014, when Wild Hunt arrives for PC and next-gen consoles.

 Thank you for a very interesting and informative analysis. I must admit that I tend to lump together Erlang/OTP as "Erlang" and see solutions in that context. In a way, I feel as if using Erlang "standalone" without OTP is very roughly analogous to using C++ without the STL: it can be done, but why on earth would one want to?

 Because the STL
 - is still not fully portable between compilers;
 in theory it should not be, but it takes you into
 deep template territory where compilers have
 incompatible bugs (though they are improving)
 - is in my experience less efficient than home-brew
 code (the STL relies, like Haskell, on *serious*
 optimisation which compilers do not always do)
 - gets you some of the most incomprehensible
 compiler error messages (un)imaginable when you
 make mistakes, which you always do, because
 - it is unpleasantly complex to use (this will, I
 hope, be remedied in C0x, at least if I can
 trust Stroustrup's summary of what's going to be
 there).

Maybe after using it for a long time, it's doesn't seem that complicated. At least, not compared to C++ itself. C++ itself is IMHO horribly complex and arguably a language to be used only by C++ experts. Just writing exception-safe code alone can be dreadfully difficult, never mind the powerful yet labyrinthine maze that is called templates. I've now used the STL extensively for many years, and it has a large advantage in that it is more or less supported by all compliant compilers (and "free" as in beer). It pretty much does the trick. Initially, the ability of various compilers to handle templates was pretty bad and inconsistent so I rolled my own portable libraries. I had to write a significant amount of commercial C++ code that had to be ported across OS/390, HP/UX, Windows, Solaris, AIX, and Linux, so I have a feel for the issues involved. I found it amusing that Andrei Alexandrescu could write syntactically valid template code that no C++ compilers could parse at that time. After a while, though, the effort of maintaining (testing, documenting, fixing) all that code across all those systems became too much and I used the STL exclusively after that. I had to choose a lowest common denominator approach and avoid doing anything really fancy, but it was still worth it.
 The STL was efficient enough for most purposes. In the IT department of a large telco where I worked for some years, trying to improve quality and establish standards, the code was so inefficient that the benefits of using the STL far outweighed any efficiency concerns. They didn't even compile the code with optimization when it went into production, so the overhead of those templates must have been quite significant, yet it didn't even register on the radar compared to the big concerns (like, actually getting the code to work, and getting the developers to understand why it's slow to do a linear lookup in a vector of 100,000 items, in a loop that iterates 50,000 times). When you're in the trenches, you are grateful for anything that works as advertised most of the time. Gladly, I am out of the C++ business right now and happily learning the Erlang world, which is a joy in comparison.

 None of these applies to OTP, but the argument that

 - it is another large and complex body of material
 to master on top of something itself unfamiliar.

 does apply to both.

Agreed.

I have a colleague who has done
 serious commercial software development in C++ and
 flatly refuses to have anything to do with the STL
 (see reasons above).

I did, too, until a few years ago (see above).

 Let's take the current example and see if we can squeeze a
 bit more out of it. Tim Watson pointed out that there is
 an issue about "locking" and failing processes. My take
 on this is "let it crash": when processes are coupled like
 this they should be as a rule be linked and if one dies,
 all should die. The OTP behaviours take care of that kind
 of thing, which is why *once you have grasped the basics*
 you should try them before rolling your own. What's really
 interesting here is that the original system was written in
 terms of threads and locking. Have you looked at thread
 interfaces lately?

Unfortunately, I have worked a significant amount with pthreads, Java threads, Windows threads, and OS/2 threads, and consider that skill set to be in the same domain as C++: for experts (as opposed to the "average" developer found in IT shops and who knows how many software companies) only. The fact that we are now seeing multicore processors and are being exhorted to write more thread-bearing code makes me shudder. I suspect that most of the readers of this newsgroup are highly skilled developers, hopefully working for great companies, and I wonder if they have been exposed to the horrors of the "average" developer (as evidenced in "The Daily WTF" and similar web sites). I hope I am not coming across conceited; I'm not like that at all. It is just that I have spent 25 years working hard to be as good a software guy (for want of a better description) as possible, and for my troubles have almost always been put in a position where I have had to teach and mentor the "average" developer (and fix literally millions of lines of code, usualy C++). My experience (and others I am sure will have differences of opinion) is that the level of the average developer is trending steeply downwards as developers become a globalized commodity ("resource") and compete more on price than on ability. These days, I find it rare to see halfway decent code written in ANY language, and the thought of zillions of lines of thread-bearing C++ and Java software being let loose on the world by people who can't even spell O(N^2) scares the heck out of me. Sorry if I am ranting a bit.

 pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex)
 pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex)

 There are four kinds of mutex in POSIX threads:
 PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL
 recursive locking deadlocks
 unlocking a mutex that is already unlocked
 or that is locked by another => undefined
 PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK
 these conditions return an error code
 PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE
 recursive locking works
 unlocking a mutex that is already unlocked
 or that is locked by another => error code
 PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT
 same as PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL
 Anything else
 All behaviour undefined

 [Solaris 2.10]
 If
 (1) _POSIX_THREAD_PRIO_INHERIT is defined
 (2) the mutex was initialised with protocol
 attribute PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT
 (3) the mutex was initialised with robustness
 attribute PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST_NP
 (4) the last holder of the lock crashed
 then
 (A) an attempt to lock the mutex will 'fail'
 with the error code EOWNERDEAD
 (B) but in fact the attempt will have succeeded
 (C) it is up to the *new* owner of the lock to
 try to clean up the state
 (D) if it can, it calls pthread_mutex_consistent_np
 (E) if it crashes, the next locker will get the
 same error code and the same chance to recover
 (F) if it can't, it should unlock the mutex, and
 future lockers will get a *different* error code
 (ENOTRECOVERABLE).
 (G) it is possible to call pthread_mutex_consistent_np
 on mutexes that aren't held or didn't need
 recovery and the behaviour is undefined

 If a mutex with the default PTHREAD_MUTEX_STALLED_NP
 robustness value is held by a thread that dies,
 future locks are "blocked in an unspecified manner".
 What this means in practice I'm not sure.

 If you reckon the Solaris 2.10 treatment of crashed
 lock holders is a mess, perhaps you can point me to
 something better in SUSv3. I can't find anything in
 SUSv3 to say _what_ happens when a lock owner crashes.
 (And don't get me onto the subject of cancellation points.)

 What kind of building block is _this_ for building
 reliable systems?

One made of clay and straw and baked in the sun.

 Message passing plus linking is so much easier to
 have justified confidence in that pthreads and TBB start
 to look like extremely sick jokes.

I couldn't agree with you more. One thing that amazed me about Erlang is how, once I had figured out how to write something, it Just Worked (TM). I fell in love.

 <off-topic>One last thing: I read the Ethics of Belief after poring over one of your posts recently, and was exceptionally impressed with the gentleman's writing and philosophy, with which I strongly agree. In that regard, I'd like to misquote John Stuart Mill, namely, "A foolish certainty is the hobgoblin of little minds". (Actually, I think my version is a slight improvement ;) I am unfortunately seeing the mechanism of insufficiently examined beliefs at work today, resulting in the persecution of a friend of mine by way of (the almost totally belief-based) Shaken Baby Syndrome. So the essay really resonated deeply with me. I daresay William K. Clifford would have had a lot to say about this. I wish he were still alive to do so. Bertrand Russel too.</offtopic>

 <also-off-topic>Clifford takes a really good idea and pushes it beyond the bounds
 of reason; he manages, presumably without intending to, to make any belief in
 science ethically unjustifiable. Specifically and in Clifford's day topically,
 Clifford's rule about believing other people meant that it would have been *bad*
 for anyone to believe in Natural Selection. I encountered Clifford's paper in
 a book by DeMarco and someone else about risk management in software engineering.
 I find the idea that Shaken Baby is still credited deeply upsetting; please convey
 my sympathy and good wishes to your friend.
 </also-off-topic>

<rant>
I won't go off-topic after this, but I just wanted to write two things:

(a) Shaken Baby is sadly alive and persecuting parents and child carers in the USA, Australia and England.
 (b) After reading dozens of papers on the SBS myth, I mean syndrome, and seeing the terrible cost to innocent families due to junk science, I rather lean toward being too much a "Cliffordite" than too little. This is particularly true after I read of scientific bias and just plain fraud (all that lovely research money is so enticing). I actually took Clifford's advice by following up on as many references as I could find in peer-reviewed papers, and I was appalled at how, in many cases, results were used selectively from these papers to back up shaky claims and make them look solidly research-based. These days I am almost reluctant to accept the evidence of my own eyes, having learned how deeply subjective "reality" is, and how what is up today is down tomorrow. Galileo and many others were persecuted for being "heretical" and later shown to be correct. Great "laws" of nature (classical relativity -> special relativity -> general relativity -> quantum mechanics -> string theory -> ??) were challenged and either overturned or radically transformed by those brave and noble enough to endure scorn and criticism. Heretics were burned at the stake not that long ago; are we humans really any different now? Yes, I like Clifford. Rather be too critical than not critical enough, even if it risks making beliefs in science ethically unjustifiable: in the days of the Internet and easy claims of anything, and people who will believe almost any plausible claims, we need to be more vigilant than ever.</rant>

Sue Turner passes along what she calls "A Woman's Random Thoughts."
A reason to smile: Every seven minutes of every day, someone in an aerobics class pulls a hamstring.
My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight shoes.
The nice part of living in a small town: When you don't know what you're doing, someone else always does.
Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.
Sometimes I think I understand everything. Then I regain consciousness.
Amazing! You hang something in your closet for a while and it shrinks two sizes!
They keep telling us to get in touch with our bodies. Mine isn't all that communicative, but I heard from it the other day. I said, "Body, how'd you like to go to that 6 o'clock class in vigorous toning?" Clear as a bell, my body said, "Listen, fatty, do it and die."
I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That's my idea of a perfect day.
If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a noose around your neck?
If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it will always be yours. If it doesn't come back, it was never yours to begin with. But if it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats your food, uses your telephone, takes your money and doesn't appear to realize that you had set it free, then you either married it or gave birth to it.

When the Spring-Ford girls' basketball team walks into Hershey's Giant Center on Friday evening, things are really going to feel familiar.
The site is where the Rams won their first PIAA Class AAAA state championship a season ago.
And the opponent, Cumberland Valley, is the squad Spring-Ford beat for the state crown. The Rams also faced the Eagles in a scrimmage and the regular-season finale this year.
So, yes, for Sammy Stipa, Shelby Mueller, and Maggie Locke - all players who made significant contributions on the court at Hershey in the past - walking back onto the floor is sure to bring a flood of memories.

looking to connect w/UT-CO riders for 2012/13
I live in Moab, UT.
Looking to connect with backcountry split-board riders for the 2012/13 season.
Wasatch, Uintah, La Sals, and the Western slope of the Colorado Rockies.
I'm not a seasoned rider (second season bc) but have a good amount of mountain climbing experience.
Lets connect..:thumbsup:
sir, I love your town and want to come back year after year after year:thumbsup:
i love it too.. been living here for 4 years now
I'm planning on taking a trip to the La Sals. If you come up to the Wasatch let me know. I would be down to hook up and get some split action in.
I'm going to join this thread only because I too want to get some back country in this season in the wasatch region. (snowvols) I'm in Ogden, UT and it'll still be a season before I acquire a split but anything accessible but other means I would really like to try and join.
Kara it will be tough unless you can get some snowshoes to borrow or such. I am planning on touring up in the Bountiful area as well. There looks like there is some sick terrain up there. Let me know if you want to get together sometime.
yeah darn. I'll see what options I have. At Snowbasin we have some good back (slack) country lines so I'm starting with that this season. At the least maybe I could meet up and ride a day at Brighton, not that that's back country :(

Snowbasin has really good slackcountry. It's also very dangerous. The Hells area had a huge slide in it 3-4 years back. Debris pile around 30ft deep. Went right over where everyone rides. Eye opening for sure. The stuff off of Ogden peak is nice too, same dangers though. Pick and choose around there is the moral of the story. I think there is safer and better beginner bc around the Eden valley. Though you'll have to hike for it. There are several spots around Ben Lomond where I would consider the overall danger to be low-moderate with moderate consequence on average. Where as the Snobasin lines are pretty much high danger and high consequence. The Ben Lomond stuff is also reasonable to access with snowshoes. So get yourself a pair. Check around at pawn shops, second hand shops, and such for those. I found a decent pair for the wife for $30 at a local pawn shop around here.
Not saying that the backcountry around Ben Lomond (What is it called North Park?) is completely safe. The stuff on the peak itself can be really sketch, but there is a lot of terrain there to learn on and that limits your exposure to danger. A good thing when you're getting started.

Edge Only
BAM Pendant Extra Large Long in Silver

Product : .......
Silver jewellery remains at its shiny best when worn daily or kept in a dry, air-tight box or bag. To clean any tarnishing, simply polish with your Edge Only silver cloth to regain a silver finish. Regular use of a silver cloth removes light tarnish and inhibits re-tarnishing, prolonging the original sparkle of your silver. Note: Remove pendants from their chain before rubbing the pendant between the cloth (using a silver cloth may weaken a chain by pulling on the links). Silver is a soft metal, so its best to remove jewellery while cleaning or in situations where rings are likely to get knocked against hard surfaces. Chemicals like chlorine and salt can damage silver so avoid wearing while swimming or when in the shower.
