Fittler declines award-naming honour
Page Tools
Brad Fittler has turned down an approach to have the inaugural NRL player's player award named after him - but the former Australian captain is still likely to have at least one medal struck in his honour next season.
Having retired after last month's grand final, Fittler will present the Rugby League Professionals Association's award to the player voted by his peers as 2004's best at a dinner on December 11 but declined to have it named the Brad Fittler Medal.
However, the RLPA has left the door open for Fittler to take up the offer next year by ruling out naming the award after any other player, while the NSWRL is also considering striking a medal in recognition of his feats for the Blues at State of Origin level.
Fittler's agent Wayne Beavis said the former Sydney Roosters and Penrith star would be honoured to lend his name to one or more awards for the code's elite players but after 18 seasons in the game he was still coming to terms with retirement.
"I've spoken to [RLPA president] Tony Butterfield about their medal and I've spoken to the NSWRL about striking a medal but I haven't received any correspondence from them. I'm sure it's something that can wait."
Butterfield said the RLPA considered Fittler's name the most appropriate for its award as his glittering career ran parallel to the emergence of full-time professionalism in the code.
"Freddie is the one player who fitted all of the criteria we were looking for," Butterfield said. "In the era of professionalism, he was the quintessential professional."
Aside from the main award, a prize for rookie of the year and the player's player from the Kangaroo tour - which is likely to be presented by Australian coach Wayne Bennett - will be announced at the function.
There will also be two educational awards, one for the NRL club that provides the best opportunities and resources for players away from the game, and the other for the player who has best managed to combine studies with playing and other off-field activities.
Butterfield said that former South Sydney and Roosters forward Jim Smith, who now works in radio, would compere the event with Cameron Williams.
"We want this to be a celebration of the season, and by having it at this time of the year we believe it will encourage a relaxed atmosphere that does not encroach on the game's other events like the Men of League Ball and the Dally M awards," Butterfield said.

UN must urgently and radically change its humanitarian response in Central African Republic
December 13, 2013
Brussels, 12 Dec 2013 –As UN humanitarian organisations agree to further mobilise resources in response to the humanitarian crisis in Central African Republic, MSF has released an open letter addressed to Valérie Amos, the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, expressing that this decision has to be urgently translated in reality.
It urges that until now, UN organisations have failed to deliver an adequate response to the gravity and the scale of humanitarian needs on the ground. The Inter-Agency Standing Committee, a decision making forum involving the main UN humanitarian organisations, has decided to strengthen its humanitarian response in CAR, meaning it will deploy more resources to respond to the crisis.
This is welcome, but it comes too late. As the humanitarian situation has deteriorated massively in the country over the last months, far more should have been done by now. "This late decision must have a real impact and initiate radical and immediate change to the way UN humanitarian agencies respond to the crisis" said Bart Janssens, MSF Director of Operations
UN activities have been insufficient, and those that do exist have often been interrupted, as agencies have pulled their teams out from areas of need, sometimes for long periods.
Today, approximately 30,000 people are living at Bangui airport. Despite repeated requests from MSF to UN agencies to provide food, tents and hygiene equipment. Yet no concrete response has come.
Despite repeated requests, UN agencies have also not intervened yet in Yaloké and Bouca, where the situation is critical.
During recent fighting in Bossangoa, while MSF took care of tens of wounded and continued to dig latrines and provide access to drinking water for displaced people, UN agencies stopped distributing food during the four days. Essential activities needed for the 30,000 people seeking refuge in the Catholic Mission.
"Despite the best efforts of MSF and the few NGOs operating in the field, the needs remain extremely high. UN agencies must now provide an effective response to meet them,'' continued Janssens.
For months MSF has been highlighting the dire humanitarian situation in CAR. MSF has been able to demonstrate that it is possible to work and has even expanded its humanitarian activities in the country despite the difficult security conditions.
MSF has been present in CAR since 1997. MSF is currently managing seven regular projects (in Batangafo, Boguila, Carnot, Kabo, Ndéle, Paoua and Zémio) and four emergency projects (in Bangui, Bossangoa, Bouca and Bria). In addition, a mobile emergency team is covering the areas of Bouar, Yaloké and the displaced camps of Bangui. By the end of the year, MSF hopes to start activities in the hospitals of Bangassou and Ouango. In total, it provides free medical care to nearly 400,000 people; through its work in 7 hospitals, two medical centres and 40 health posts; and has more than 100 expatriate personnel and about 1,100 local staff in its teams.

Stopped at the BP gas station to fill up the minivan ($53.00 OUCH!:mad:) and as I walked inside to pay for my gas, a truck pulled up and a fellow hopped out with a Glock on his right hip in a leather holster. He was just a head of me in line with 2 other people in front of him.
We said hello to each other and I asked what model Glock he had on and he told me it was a G23. He asked what model mine was and I told him that mine is also a 23. He commented on my Blackhawk SERPA holster and I asked him who made his. It was a custom Mitch Rosen rig.
After we both paid for our respective purchases, we talked guns and holsters for a few minutes. Both confirming that neither of us is a LEO and both of us commented on how nice it is to see others open carrying here in outer Shelby County.
Shook hands and parted ways.
As I got back in the van my wife told me that as soon as she saw the gun on the other fellows hip she knew that this fill up was going to take a lot longer than usual.:embarassed: She was right, turns out I talked to him for about 10 minutes.

The increasing need for food assistance is one piece of a bigger problem in California: increasing poverty. Nearly six million Californians are part of families living below the federal poverty level – that's an average of no more than 22,000 dollars a year for a family of four.
In the Bay Area, Oakland has the highest number of children living in poverty – nearly one in three kids according to the latest Census. Earlier this fall, a group called Bay Area Blacks in Philanthropy brought local businesses, non-profits, and philanthropic leaders together to look for answers. KALW's Holly Kernan spoke with the chair of the organization, Cedric Brown.

Redbone were a Native American group founded by Pat & Lolly Vegas. Descended from Yaqui Indians, the brothers were first class musicians who had gainedearly experience playing on the Hollywood session scene. They later hit on the idea ofblending contemporary rock with a fiery tradi-tional Indian spirit to create Redbone.
A 'potlatch' was an ancient Indian ceremony that has now come mean 'a party'. The brothers roar through ten tunes from this lively album, inclu-ding 'Light As A Feather', 'Who Can Say?', 'Judgement Day' and 'Without Reservation'. Two bonus tracks, the single versions of 'Maggie' and 'New Blue Sermonette', complete a wardancing set that was first released in 1970.

The UK defence secretary's objections to his government's aid plans prompts us to remind him of the life-changing difference that the UK's aid makes to poor regions like my own, in the south of Sudan.
Our poverty is often portrayed in your media as overwhelming and insurmountable. Yet the aid that is received, from governments and from those who donate to charities like Cafod, is what makes a vital contribution in truly transforming lives.
Years of conflict and neglect here in southern Sudan mean that for every 10 babies born in my diocese, one will die before their fifth birthday.
The international aid we receive can be the difference between women and children living and dying.
A woman that lives means a child has a greater chance of receiving an education; a child that is educated has a greater chance of working and taking care of his or her parents and family; a child that receives such opportunities because of aid has a greater chance of participating in society and ultimately holding his or her government to account.
On 9 July, South Sudan will become the newest country in the world. This is a young nation just emerging, with a traumatic past. It is a young government that isn't experienced in nation-building, good governance, law and order and civil service.
We face a mountain of challenges, especially in tackling poverty. If I had to choose the three most pressing, it would be education, job creation and food security.
More than 100,000 southerners have flooded into my diocese from the north since October last year. Although we prepared ourselves for a significant movement of people, the exodus was overwhelming. And while the local community is happy to receive them, a severe strain is being put on overcrowded, basic services.
Our people can make it, but we need help from the international community. They must lend a hand to encourage the sound policies that can meet the aspirations of the people, and keep peace on track.
In November last year, I met UK government representatives and urged them to commit the finances and technical support for lasting peace and justice in Sudan.
Liam Fox should welcome the UK government's efforts to make aid more transparent, as this helps ensure it is spent most effectively to deliver results. Likewise, the Sudanese people, and Africans all over the continent, want their governments to uphold good governance and to administer a fair and just distribution of wealth to all citizens.
Enshrining the commitment to spend 0.7% of national income in law is an essential means to ensure that governments keep their promises in the future. Aid is a moral issue, not a political football.
In the Madi language there is a saying, "mbakolu mbasi", which translates as "people need people". In these difficult times, I pray we can all agree with that simple sentiment.

British novelist Tasmina Perry is the author of Private Lives (Headline, $34.99).
The book I love most is ... I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith. Cassandra Mortmain is one of the quirkiest and most charming narrators in literature and the whole book has a delicious English eccentricity about it that I love.
The book I'm reading right now is ... Absolute Power by David Baldacci.
The book I'd like to read next is ... The Language Of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh, a debut novel about a young woman whose passion for flowers helps change the lives of others.
My favourite bookshop is ... Barts Bookstore in Ojai, California. It's an outdoor bookshop built around a huge tree in the middle of Ojai with lots of quiet nooks stuffed with used books and rare first editions.
There's a little stall to buy lemonade or coffee and when it's closed you can take books from a shelf outside and leave your money in an honesty box.
The book that changed me was ... my first novel, Daddy's Girls. I didn't expect it to be as popular as it was but, when it went into the top-10 best-sellers list in England, it gave me the confidence to give up my career as a journalist and write full-time.
The book I wish I never read is ... I don't really regret reading any book. If it hasn't grabbed me by the first three or four chapters I just move on, so I don't waste time on something I'm not enjoying.

- - Anyone getting the Flu Shot? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/chat-room/482489-anyone-getting-flu-shot.html)
Anyone getting the Flu Shot?
This is my first year of getting the flu shot, only because I have to do observation hours in a school with K-6 students for 15 hours, and I know a lot of these kids tend to get sick with the flu or cold during that time.
I hate shots, but this was easy, and you didn't really feel it. It was just a quick prick. Last time I suffered with the flu was a long long time ago.
So, what type of flu vaccine did you get or going to get? I got the standard shot and it only took like two minutes.
I have been getting it every year for the last few years. Last year I got it later then usual. Usually I get it around October. I do not like shots either and I think it's a pretty easy shot to get.
Back in the late 90's my sister and I got the flu really bad. I tell people that for three days I was afraid I was dying, and for the next three days I wished I could. I had three dogs at the time, two wolfdogs and one GSD, and they all got fed and taken outside, by me, and I really couldn't remember much of it all for about the 3 worst days. I didn't feel nearly normal for three weeks. From that point on we got the flu shot, usually about the first couple weeks of October. My sister makes frequent hospital stays, so they usually give it to her there. We've never had the flu again, and especially now that we are older, we never go without the shot.
On a side note... At that time I had just adopted a rescue wolfdog, and he and the female I had did not get along at all, because he had snatched a nylabone away from the GSD male, whom she had raised. I had to pretty much manage the two wolfdogs most of their lives. BUT--all the while we had the flu so bad, they all three co-existed peacefully, all sharing my bed, no fights, no growling... I got well and it was back to normal, her threatening the male WD at least once a day. They were okay inside, but could never go outside together unless I had her on a leash.
I'm not and haven't.....
I've been an advocate of minimal shots/etc. for my pup, so I will practice what I preach to the furball.
One other note on the flu shot. If they happen to miss a strain of the flu in the mix, and you catch it, it won't be as bad as it would be if you did not have the shot. Somehow you still get some immunity, at least that's been our experience.
The upside to that event is how one should so appreciate their good health...gotta be beaten down to remind us of how fortunate we are when we feel "normal".
I work for a hospital system. If I don't get the shot, I have to wear a mask and that's not going to happen...
I get it each year b/c not only is it free, but I get a half point towards my employers health program and if you earn 2 points per quarter you get $75 cash. I've never had a reaction and I haven't had a real flu in many years (not since I got really sick in Africa and then picked up some bugs on the plane rides home and was sick for 5 months).

Li-Ion supply for ghettoblaster
I'm making a smallish ghettoblaster for portable jamming, and I'm looking for a little help designing the power supply.
The general idea is to use a heap'o lithium cells (probably eight cells alltogether) to make a "center tapped" battery bank to give me something like a -12v/0v/12v supply (using a positive and negative buck converter to keep everything at a stable voltage).
I plan on getting the cells with built-in protection circuits, so exploding batteries shouldn't be a big problem.
My big question is about charging. I may either build my own charging circuits with max1551's (or similar), or acquire and rip-up some commercial chargers. My main questions about the chargers are:
1) Can I discharge the batteries while they are charging?
2) The batteries will be connected in series, assuming I use the 1551, there will be one charger per battery, can I connect a charger to each battery while the batteries are still connected in series and charge them like that? Or do I need to find a charger designed for a larger number of batteries in series?

1) Depends on the charge circuit - but to error on the side of safety, it's probably not a good idea.
2) If you used one 1551 per cell, each 1551 would have to be powered by its own isolated power supply. If you used only one power supply for all of them then all the batteries would need to be disconnected from each other.
Charging/discharging multiple lithium ion cells in series can be a real hazard if not done properly. There is really no cheap way to do it; you will need to invest in the proper balancing/charging/watchdog circuits.

Thanks,for the info
I think given that (sounds like doing it myself with my own cells is expensive/a PITA/dangerous), I might go with some 18v power drill batteries + a buck converter to bring it down to 12v for a t-amp.
These can apparenly be had relatively inexpensively (looks like ~20-30 for a pair of makita 18v 1.5Ah). I believe these batteries have protection circuits built into the pack.
From what I understand, discharging these batteries in paralell is no problem, but how about charging? Can I charge two packs in paralell with one charger, or should I use two chargers?

I've been doing some more research, and apparently there are chips out there that appear to do everything required for a li-ion battery, for example the TI bq77PL900. This looks like it would be very straightforward to set up and seems to be a complete solution and allows for 10 cells in series. Seems like this + buck converter could give me a couple hours on a t-amp depending on the exact setup of drivers I settle on. (assuming 4 or 5 Ah cells).

are you really size and weight constrained?
If not so just go for NiMH battery. Still, the proper sharging is not that simple, but as you've suggested cordless tool's chargers would be the way to go. You also may use two batteries in parallel by decoupling them with Schottky diodes. Doing so they can be charged/discharged simultaneously, with separate sharging units each. Unfortunately it will require good lytics tied at the point of load. Even without the diodes it would be wise to use lytic, due to the "slowness" of the battery. It would be fare to say that battery itself has substantial Faraday capacitance but behave quite specifically at various frequency load.

I do final test on many BQ battery management EVMs.
One and two cell BQs for sure. I've never seen 10 cell!
Not to say something like that won't land on my desk.
I'm usually the last one to know anything.
Anyways, your biggest problem will be shipping Lithium
by air. There are some ugly rules about how many and
how big each cell can be. You might have to make many
small buys of three LiPo (safest type) cells or less. Else
its coming to you only by slowest boat, train, or truck.
I don't see any need to buck down a stack of cells to
12V. Good switching amp (again suggesting TI of course,
yeah yeah I test those too) can take down the voltage.
Would achieve same result from perspective of the load.
-12 also not needed for a bridge tied load.
I'm no engineer, just a test tech. Also no employee of TI,
only a contract manufacturer down the street. Still, if I
can help...

thanks for the tips, updates:
I got some 4 Ah cells on eBay and found a 10 cell charger for $30 ish. Combined with free samles from TI it's going to be pretty affordable compared to a pre-fab pack.
As to the buck converter I have a t-amp that takes plain 12vdc, but maybe I'm missing something here (it's the standalone t-amp that parts express sells). Either way I got some buck converter sample ics from national semi, so if it turns out I don't need them, no big deal.
Also, I plan on setting everything up so that when the whole thing is plugged in the batteries are disconnected from the amp (with some mosfets probably) and the charger is turned on, then the amp will get powered by the mains (via ordinary power supply)
Thanks again for all the help

Doesn't is just break your heart when some out of town indie superstar comes town, borrows the Pops, and then writes in both Rolling Stone and the New York Times about how one of his favorite new bands is . . . the local jam-band laughingstock? Ugh. Ugh, ugh, ugh. What's next? Aerosmith tells the Times their favorite Boston band is Jiggle the Handle?
Touch and Go's 25th anniversary party in Chicago, September 8-10, has confirmed a mini-set by Big Black -- plus a full one by Shellac -- as well as all-orig-members reuions by the Didjits, Girls Against Boys, and Scratch Acid, the band that begat the Jesus Lizard. A Jesus Lizard reunion isn't out of the question, either.
When we first met Noelle LeBlanc, she was a thriftstore tomboy in a bubble vest, polyester slacks rolled up to the knee, and the Dan Spitz/Frank Bello haircut, who was hanging out with some low-rent suburban svengali, riding her bike, and preparing to self-release an album that became the blueprint for Avril Lavigne's debut.

Mushroom Picking
Hi there
My brother would like to be taken mushroom picking with a 'professional' so that he can learn more about what is edible, and where to find them etc. I was wondering if anyone knew of any such people that would do that?? He lives in a village just outside of Bath in Wiltshire. Any advise or direction would be much appreciated!
Thank you

Re: Mushroom Picking
What I learned online is to always do a spore test and find out what you really have. Also, always dig up the entire mushroom to look for universal/partial veil. And according to common advice, you have to cook the mushrooms completely and then only have a bite or so the first day. I like raw mushrooms and figure if they're not poisonous, why have to cook them? But it's all to be on the safe side.

Does your business have a bad reputation?

Went on the trip to the Farallons Sept. 21, 2013. I should have known when as we approached the islands I heard over the radio, "the show has to start some time this year" My friend and I did two 30 minute dives looking at murky green water. The "decoys" they deploy are thrown out and eventually wind up floating next to the boat. No effort is made to entice the sharks. I realize that there are regulations to protect the sharks and the people studying them. I am all for the protection of both the researchers and the animals, but, if the show has not happened you should let people know before they invest money in a trip. Flights, hotels, cars, etc...
Aside from that, your continental breakfast is a cup of coffee from a thermos like at 7-Eleven and a bagel. Gourmet lunch is some vegetable stew (which was pretty good) and a deli plate from Costco with some small rolls. Not that anyone was eating due to the 4-5ft swells that where rocking the boat. Then of course there were the flies. It was like mosquitos in the Northeast at a BBQ. They did finally move the boat, but they were back in about 10 minutes. I only hope that some of the people already booked will read this and get their money back. I truly cannot express in words what a ripoff this trip is.
That being said, it seems their other trip is outstanding. Maybe they should make it more affordable and concentrate on that.

The RN-BSN degree completion program at WSU educates RNs wanting to advance their nursing knowledge, broaden their perspective of clinical practice, and enhance their leadership potential. Designed for nurses managing careers and families, you can complete the RN-BSN program at your own pace or in as little as 1 to 2 years.
With the largest program in the state, WSU has a history of graduating competent, compassionate nurses ready to practice in all healthcare settings. See our Program Outcomes to learn more.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends the number of nurses with a baccalaureate degree increase to 80 percent by 2020. This recommendation is based on the growing demand for highly competent, educated nurses and our complex, rapidly evolving healthcare system. BSN-educated nurses gain exposure to a wider range of nursing competencies and are better equipped to accommodate the changing needs of our diverse population.
WSU awards 32 credits toward completion of your BSN degree for passing the NCLEX and maintaining an active RN license. The remaining senior year (30 credits) may be completed full-time or part-time. The program builds on the RN foundation and includes course work in assessment, research, informatics, leadership, management, ethics, mental health and community health. Advanced practicum experiences bridge course work and theory with clinical practice. View course work.
The program is flexible, with just 1 on-campus meeting per semester that brings together all students enrolled in all courses for dynamic, interactive learning events. This 1 required on-campus day will be scheduled for Tuesday of the third week of the term. All students enrolled in all courses will meet together on that day. Online course work during the semester is managed via the Blackboard learning management system. Full and part-time, or individualized plans of study are arranged with your advisor. Clinical experiences are completed at a variety of sites. Border Bill students may complete their clinical in Oregon or in Washington if they have a WA RN license.
The College of Nursing provides academic support for students at both the Spokane campus and the Tri-Cities campus. Visit the current students resources page for access to all the information you'll need to be successful.
The College of Nursing awards at least $345,000 each year to support high-achieving nursing students who are striving to improve the quality of health care.
Pre-Application Requirements
Proof of a current, unemcumbered Washington state RN license or eligibility for licensure is required. View pre-application requirements or contact an RN-BSN advisor.
Applicants must consult with the academic advisor, Karina Aispuro, for assistance with the application process.

SEED Coverage
Program pays when students learn to save
The StarPhoenix
By Janet French
October 5, 2009
Long after school has been dismissed, teens shyly gather in Nutana's school library with backpacks and notebooks in hand.
These teens, who are from high schools from across Saskatoon, will take late afternoon classes all year to learn skills that aren't always taught in school, such as opening a bank account, getting a part time job, saving money and knowledge of the province's labour laws.
Not only are they voluntarily in class after hours, but students clamour for spots in the Individual Development Account Program. If they successfully complete it, the program will give them money -- as much as $800 each.
"It helped me so much," said Arezo, a high school student who completed the IDA program last year.
On Tuesday, she shared her experience with a new crop of students. Program co-ordinator Darlene Bracken helped Arezo polish up her resume and took her around to apply for part-time jobs. She worked in a fast-food restaurant for eight months, and then brushed up her resume again and got another job in a clothing store.
Bracken says she's seen the program change people.
"(It gives them) self-confidence, actually having a savings account and realizing that they could save money -- that they were able to maintain employment and save money," she said.
"They make friends from different schools, and there's peer support in the program."
The IDA program, which started in 2003, is run by the Community First Development Fund of Saskatoon. Each year, Bracken goes from high school to high school, looking for kids who might benefit from learning about job experience and money management. This year, the program had 108 applicants. Bracken interviewed 74 students, asking them what they'd do with their savings, then whittled that group down to 34 participants. The charitable program only has the funds for 30 students a year.
The goal, once the students get a job, is to put at least $40 a month into a savings account with Affinity Credit Union. It's a special one-way account, meaning they can't take out the money once they put it in. If a student attends all 14 sessions throughout the year and keeps a good attendance record in school, the program will triple their savings of up to $400 each (leaving a successful student with as much as $1,200).
Bracken said the money comes from donations, the government and other charitable funds.
At the end of 10 months, the students can also take certificate programs such as CPR, Foodsafe or a materials safety course for free.
Last year, the program started with 35 students, and 27 completed it, receiving their matching money.
"That's very good," Bracken said.
Those who don't make it through are often struggling in their personal lives, she said, and they can try again in future years.
This year's crop of IDA students are enthused about gaining some independence.
Dennel, a 17-year-old Oskayak student, says her ambition is to save enough to get a car. Mitchell, 17, lives in a full house and wants to move out. Many of the teens say the lure of shopping for clothes, shoes and candy, or going out and partying, can quickly dwindle what's in their wallets.
"Any time you want to have some fun, you're spending money, and that's pretty hard," Mitchell says.
The students in the program are introduced to guests such as Carol Cisecki, a labour community representative for Affinity Credit Union. On Tuesday, she dispensed advice on how to open a bank account, on being credit smart and how to get their credit history.

Microsoft Hit by Open Source and Lawmakers
Microsoft had to report a 30% slump in sales for the last quarter. Their report to the U.S. SEC includes a rundown of their risk and competition factors. Among their concerns are Linux and open source untertakings, but also their own partners HP and Intel.
Part of Microsoft's nervousness is Apple's growing share in the U.S. market, but Linux is also taking a bite. Their Form 10-K submission to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission quotes their concern: "The Linux operating system [...] is available without payment under a General Public License, [and] has gained some acceptance, especially in emerging markets, as competitive pressures lead OEMs to reduce costs and new, lower-price PC form-factors gain adoption." They call out Red Hat and Canonical as competition in a number of categories and mention that even smaller open source enterprises and community projects have endangered their "money for software licenses" model. Add to that other threatening activity: "Partners such as Hewlett-Packard and Intel have been actively working with alternative Linux-based operating systems."
The Redmond giant also sees itself in a defensive stance with mobile devices in that consumers are migrating to them from conventional PCs. The market share of Internet Explorer is being continuously eroded by browsers from Apple, Mozilla and Opera, but especially Google: "OEMs have been working to make the Google Android mobile operating system more compatible with small form-factor PCs or netbooks."
Microsoft's declaration of principles on intellectual property issues vis a vis open source also came into play. One statement didn't leave much to the imagination in light of recent patent issues. Quote: "Certain 'open source' software business models challenge our license-based software model. [...] These firms do not bear the full costs of research and development for the software. Some of these firms may build upon Microsoft ideas that we provide to them free or at low royalties in connection with our interoperability initiatives."
Microsoft also attributes the first ever breach in their sales history to software piracy, the European Commission, U.S. anti-trust laws and lawmakers in general.
One statement should give software patent activists such as the Free Software Foundation pause: "Similarly, the absence of harmonized patent laws makes it more difficult to ensure consistent respect for patent rights." The FSFE has been warning at regular intervals that software patents could start making their way into Europe in the guise of "harmonization."
Microsoft takes a HITwell, the Monopoly Meister still exists, but the competition is also there.
Free, Stable and Able has always won out over being Told to repeat after me " the party line". "we Love Microsoft.. yeaaahs.. we LOVE microsoft. It's Better than every one else.. YEeeash.. its stable.. Internet Explorer is the Best Browser.. yeeeasshh.. Linux called their Hand and Microsoft has lost this one.
Microsoft could keep its strangle hold on the Computer market it they would listen to what people want.. Let has have a little freedom.. and stop pushing.. we want change to what we really need, and stop Forcing a New OS every 2 years.. which requires BIG money to get new hardware and new software, each time.
Close up your RIGHTS in the system.. so that any Tom Dick and Harry with a little code cant reach in and foul every thing up.
Any one stop to think about that? Linux is not Virus free because its obscure.. its virus free because it's Locked down.. make it nearly impossible to GET virused.
Maybe, Just Maybe.. Microsoft will learn a bit on this.. and Give us some thing We actually Wanted.
Microsoft Hit by Open Source and Lawmakers"Microsoft had to report a 30% slump in sales for the last quarter."
Hahahahaha.. long live Linux!

10 Best Books On Innovation To Get You Through The Recession.by
We are at a tipping point in the economy where recession is probable so CEOs and top managers need to quickly shift their strategies for 2008. The CEOs who will be tossed out by their boards in a year or two will be the ones who simply focus on cutting costs over the next twelve months, allowing competitors to smack their companies hard with new products and services as the economy begins to grow strongly again in 09. Smart managers will focus on innovation during the tough months ahead and come out swinging by the end of the year. This is what Apple tends to do so look to Apple—not for its products—but for its strategy.
So here are 10 books on innovation that can guide you. It's not an
exclusive list and I'll probably add a couple when people post comments to remind me of what I've left off.
Here goes for the 10 top books on innovation for 08:
1- The Opposable Mind: How Successful Leaders Win Through Integrative Thinking by Roger L. Martin.
2- Prophet of Innovation: Joseph Schumpeter and Creative Destruction by Thomas K. McCraw.
3- Meatball Sundae: Is Your Marketing Out of Sync? Seth Godin.
4- The Design of Future Things by Don Norman.
5-Innovation Nation by John Kao.
6- Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything by Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams.
7-The Future of Management by Gary Hammel.
8- Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die, by Chip Heath and Dan Heath.
9- The Laws of Simplicity by John Maeda.
10- Everyday Engineering: What Engineers See, by Andrew Burroughs.
Three new books coming out in 08 you need to read. Two are by Clay Christensen-- Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns; and Diagnosing the Disease, on the disruptive innovations taking place in both the education and healthcare industry. The other is by Roger Martin--Design Thinking, The Next Competitive Advantage.
Finally, if you are a manager contemplating laying people in the months ahead, or face layoffs yourself, please take a look at Robert Suttons' The No Ass.... Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't.

More big bluefin; yellowfin close
One out of ten fish kept off the Baja coast
Daniel Powell 10:07 a.m., May 28
Chinese concert pianist Lang Lang will play with the San Diego Symphony at Copley Symphony Hall (750 B St) on October 5-7. On October 5 and 7, Lang Lang will play Beethoven's Emperor and on October 6 he will perform Tchaikovsky. Performances start at 8 p.m. on all three evenings. Tickets cost $30-80.
"Lang Lang has conquered the classical world with dazzling technique and charisma," praised National Public Radio's Morning Edition. San Diego Symphony conductor Jahja Ling said Lang Lang is "special because of his total mastery of the piano...He has the flair and great communicative power."
Lang Lang plays Chopin - Grande polonaise brillante:
According to Wikipedia, Lang Lang has his critics:
"Lang's performances have also been criticized. His performance style has been referred to as having "soggy rhythms and heavy phrasing", and as being "truly boring", "just bad" and "unendurable". Critics who feel that his playing is vulgar and lacks sensitivity have given him the nickname "Bang Bang". Pianist Earl Wild called him "the J. Lo of the piano."
