This is an excellent question, but sadly, I doubt that anybody here (including me) is really equipped to satisfactorily define a consistent position on it (legally based, anyway). I suspect that Youtube presents huge issues for copyright infringement, but that it's largely accepted to link to by most sites because it's simply so proliferate. In any case, the policy here is likely to be fairly arbitary, but you might as well accept it.Originally Posted by Rajeev
Luckily though, it does give you an out if you have clips you want to share in future - just make sure that you upload them to Youtube.

Sounds more like a court drama , where everyone is trying to justify a feed of video captured from TV and uploaded somewhere
I questioned the integrity of this site, and it's clearly wrong and confusing that a single site like youtube's link are OK here but another one is not
The goal is to let people enjoy the vids, not any other factor
Its not advertisement, and I dont think I need to waste any time explaning this, but it's clearly unfair that other links are ****' d out
Had no idea that Latif 'catch' was so blatant. I was under the impression he had grassed it, but kept hold of the ball.
How can linking youtube be illegal??
Youtube own copyrights to all of the videos posted on it now, they changed their policies, and so if you youtube host stuff that they have copyrights to, why can't people post a link to it?
Edit: This video has www.cricketweb.net on it, why?

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 14, 2010) -- The ETSU men's basketball team will be trying to get back on track in Atlantic Sun Conference action when the Buccaneers take on the Stetson Hatters Thursday evening at 7 p.m. inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
The Bucs, who are 8-8 overall, 4-1 in A-Sun play, are coming off a tough road loss 83-78 last weekend at Mercer. However, ETSU remains tied for first place in the loss column of the league standings.
Despite Stetson's struggles this year, the Derek Waugh-led Hatters (3-11, 1-5) have given ETSU trouble in the past, even though the Bucs lead the all-time series 8-4.
For more on Thursday's game, click on the game notebook link above or read the game notes below.
Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball team will look to get back on track in Atlantic Sun Conference play when the Buccaneers host Stetson Thursday night ... The Bucs suffered their first loss in league action during a two-game road swing through Georgia, falling 83-78 to Mercer ... The Bucs, 8-8 overall, 4-1 in league play, remain tied for first place in the league in the loss column ... ETSU is currently 5-1 inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center this season, but is just 3-7 on the road this year ... Preseason All Atlantic Sun Conference pick Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) remains doubtful for the Stetson game after having missed the Bucs last seven contests, and is likely headed toward a medical redshirt season ... In Smith's absence, junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) and junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) have stepped up their games � In fact, Hubbard has posted double-doubles in eight of his last 15 games ... When he was picked A-Sun Player of the Week on Nov. ,30, he posted a career best 32-point effort against the Razorbacks and a game-high 25-point effort in the victory over UNF ... Meanwhile, Tubbs posted a career best 29 points against CofC and 21 against Arkansas, to go with nine rebounds ... Currently, Hubbard and Tubbs lead the team in scoring, with Hubbard averaging 14.9 points per game, and Tubbs pitching in 12.9 a contest.
The series against Stetson
The Hatters are one of the teams to have given the Bucs trouble since ETSU joined the Atlantic Sun Conference in 2005-06 ... All-time the Bucs lead the series 8-4, including a win in the teams' last meeting on March 4, 2009, which was an 88-76 win for ETSU in the quarterfinals of the A-Sun Tournament.
Last time against Stetson
NASHVILLE (March 4, 2009) - The seventh-seeded Stetson Hatters gave the ETSU men's basketball team a scare, but senior Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) scored a career-high 37 points and junior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) posted his ninth career double-double to give the Buccaneers a 88-76 win in the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship quarterfinals Wednesday night inside Allen Arena on the campus of Lipscomb University. ... The first half was dominated by Tiggs, as the first team All A-Sun pick went off for 20 points on 9-of-13 shooting from the floor. His efforts were enough to stake the Bucs to a 37-33 halftime lead, but the advantage could have been more if not for Stetson's strong shooting from beyond the arc. The Hatters hit 6-of-13 long range bombs and were 5-of-6 from the foul line to keep the Bucs within reach at the break.
... In the second half, ETSU's fullcourt press finally began to take a toll on the Hatters, as the Bucs opened on a 19-7 run in the first six minutes and built its lead to 56-40 with just over 14 minutes left in regulation. However, Stetson responded with an 8-0 burst of its own to get the game back to single digits at 56-48 with 11 minutes remaining ... Stetson later made the game 64-59 on an A.J. Smith 3-pointer from the wing with 7:20 left, but that would be as close as the Hatters would get the rest of the game as ETSU outscored them 26-17 the rest of the way ... While Tiggs scored 37, Smith posted 19 points and 11 rebounds, and senior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) added 15. Pigram's 15 moved with to 1,987 points for his career, which moved him to No. 2 on the A-Sun's all-time scoring list and just one point shy of former ETSU great Keith "Mister" Jennings for third place on the Bucs scoring list.
Last time out
MACON, Ga. (Jan. 9, 2010) - All good things must come to an end, and Saturday afternoon against Mercer, the ETSU men's basketball team watched as its perfect 8-0 all-time record against the Bears finally suffered a blemish ... Without the services of sophomore forward Isiah Brown (Miami), who missed the game with an ankle injury, the Buccaneers trailed 73-53 with 4:42 left in the game. However, ETSU made a spirited comeback over the final minutes only to fall short 83-78 during Atlantic Sun Conference action inside the University Center ... The Bucs shot just 38 percent from the floor for the game, while allowing Mercer a 49 percent clip. Mercer also shot 43 percent from 3-point range, which was critical as the Bears built their lead throughout the second half ... For ETSU, a major bright spot in the game was freshman guard Sheldon Cooley (Tampa, Fla.), who finished with a game-high 29 points and three steals. Meanwhile, junior guards Micah Williams (Manchester) and Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) finished with 18 and 12 points, respectively ... The first half started poorly for the Bucs, who watched as Mercer pulled out to an 11-1 lead with 14:57 left before the intermission. However, ETSU finally found its offensive game and put together a 17-5 run over the next four minutes to take the lead 18-16 at the 9:10 mark ... Mercer responded by going on a 12-6 run of its own to take a 28-22 advantage with 5:52 left, and ultimately led 35-28 at the break. In the first half, the Bucs managed just one assist and shot 34 percent from the floor ... The Bears opened the second half on a 12-4 run to make it 47-32 by the first media timeout with 15:50 remaining in the game. That lead grew to as many as 20 with 4:42 left, but at that point the Bucs used a pair of offensive runs to get within four points on a couple of occasions. However, they were never able to get within one possession.
New-look zone defense powers win streak
Since developing a new, attacking-style zone defense, the Buccaneers have won three of their last four games ... The stats back up the zone's effectiveness, especially while winning three straight games from Dec. 21 to Jan. 9, as ETSU has held opponents to 35 percent shooting from the floor and just 59.3 points per game ... In addition, the Bucs are also outrebounding opponents by more than seven boards a game in that stretch.
Smith status still in doubt
Though he has played in four games this season and most recently scored a season high 14 points against UAB (12/4), senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) continues to battle nagging injuries ... This has left his status for the rest of the year in doubt, and in fact, he is likely headed toward a medical redshirt season.
Williams bringing more offense
to the table
Junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) has worked his way into the starting lineup thanks mainly to back-to-back strong efforts on the offensive end ... Against North Georgia, Williams posted a career high 22 points in leading the Bucs to the win, and he followed that effort with an 18-point night against Murray State ... He has scored in double figures in six of his last seven games ... Currently, Williams is one of three Bucs averaging double figures scoring this year with 10.6 points per game.
Hubbard steps up his game, averaging
Much has been written and reported about junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) and his efforts to improve his offensive game, and those strides have led to some solid numbers ... Already considered one of the best defenders in the A-Sun, Hubbard posted a 32-point and 10-rebound effort in the win over Arkansas and dropped in another game-high 26 in the win over UNF ... He currently leads the Bucs with 14.9 points per game and 8.5 rebounds a contest ... while he has posted double-doubles in eight of the last 15 games, his efforts began to pay off on the offensive end against Chattanooga back on Nov. 17 ... Setting career bests for points (26) and rebounds (13), Hubbard collected his first career double-double against the Mocs ... In addition, he hit his first 3-point shot in three seasons with the Bucs, and didn't stop there -- ultimately finishing with four long-range bombs on the night.
Record setting night from the arc for Bucs
Hitting on 11-of-14 shots from 3-point range against Arkansas, the Bucs put their name in a multiple of record books ... First, those numbers set a new school record for 3-point field goal percentage in a game with a 78.6 percent mark, breaking the previous record of 66.7 percent which had been done three times previously ... In addition, it was the best shooting effort in the "nation" this season for teams taking more than 10 shots in a game ... And it was the best percentage by a team in the A-Sun since Nov. 28, 1999 when UCF was 11-of-14 in a game against South Carolina state.
Home Sweet Dome
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 134-41 inside Memorial Center, good for a winning percentage of 77 percent ... The Bucs had won five straight at Memorial Center during the 2006-07 season before a loss to Belmont (1/2) ... The Bucs then rattled off 10 straight at home to stand at 15-1 on the Memorial Center floor that season, but fell to Belmont in the championship of the A-Sun Tourney... In 2007-08, the Bucs were 11-2 at Memorial Center ... In 2008-09, the Bucs were again 11-2 at home ... This season, ETSU is 4-1 in the Dome and 1-0 in Brooks Gym.
Sollazzo to honor Coy with number change
When ETSU's rising sophomore forward Seth Coy (Montgomery, Ind.) was tragically killed in a car accident this summer, it left the entire Buccaneer community with a deep sense of loss ... As is often the case, those that are left to mourn have looked for ways to remember the Bucs' 6-foot-11 "Gentle Giant." ... For sophomore guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa), who was Coy's roommate, the answer was simple ... Changing his jersey number from No. 20 to Coy's No. 43, Sollazzo will play the 2009-10 season to honor his friend and have that memory with him each night.
Big questions surround Bucs entering 2009-10
With the loss of seniors Courtney Pigram and Kevin Tiggs -- one of the most dynamic offensive duos in the country -- the Bucs have a lot of questions to answer on the offenisve end of the floor this season ... Having averaged 78.1 points a game a year ago, which ranked 21st nationally in all of Division I play -- ETSU has lost 44.0 of those points to graduation when one includes now departed senior Greg Hamlin in that trio ... In addition to the losses on offensive, the Bucs' 13-man roster includes just eight players who have experienced actual floor time in college ... The other five players are either true freshmen, redshirt freshmen or walk-ons.

The history and evolution of the Moblins are no longer a secret to everybody, thanks to this all-encompassing feature by GameXplainGameXplain. Here is something I did not know until today: The etymology of "Moblin." It's derived from the Zelda brutes' name in Japanese, which itself comes from the Japanese words for "Forest" and "Goblin."
You may remember they were called "Molblins" until A Link to the Past. Incidentally, that's when they shifted away from their bulldog appeaerance to a more porcine countenance. That also corresponds to the overall story development of the series, in which Moblins, by becoming true followers of Ganon, start mimicking his appearance.

Veterans in the outdoor-graphics industry discuss how their companies have dealt with changes in the market and how other recent issues, such as the economic recession and the push for sustainability, have impacted their businesses.
By Lori Leaman
MCDANIEL: The push towards green initiatives cannot be avoided. It has increasingly been requested by customers over the last 12 months to know what we as a company are doing. We are currently pulling information together on what we currently are doing and also are getting ready to gear up on some more initiatives. We are going to make this information accessible to our clients via our Website.
RENDA: Some of our customers are starting to ask for green products. Our reply has been to seek out suppliers that carry green materials. We have found that more and more substrates are becoming available in an environmentally friendly form. These materials usually cost more, but some customers are willing to pay the higher cost. As progress continues and demand grows for green materials and products, I believe that costs will not be as big of a factor.
GARCIA: We are being asked by most of our major clients to make recommendation on making their product more green friendly. We have initiated a recycling program with our biggest client where we will be collecting outdoor banners once the promotion ends and using the material to fabricate other products.
SP: Looking forward, what do you see as the greatest challenges facing outdoor graphics providers?
GABRIEL: There are several options, in terms of materials and equipment that meet or exceed the goals of our clients. We will see more consolidation, mergers, and acquisitions. Fighting off the commoditization of the industry—companies that are just cranking it out, who don't care what it looks like, dropping the value/price of what they are giving. We are holding our pricing because we believe the service and quality warrants, and eventually those companies will go out of business. Shipping and installation is becoming more cost prohibitive. Creativity and advertising is another challenge. You want to reach your clients two different ways: through the internet and outdoors. If you can do both through creativity, you'll be golden.
NORRIS: I think the greatest challenges going forward will remain the classic ones: how to provide the best product for the best price for your customers, and then to stand behind your product and give your customers the best service available, certainly better than the guy down the street.

Repeat offender
Radio host who ran bit threatening Bush
joked about killing president 1 year ago
Randi Rhodes, the leftist talk-radio host who found herself in hot water yesterday for airing a skit that warned President Bush with gunfire, has joked about assassinating the commander in chief before.
Last May, Rhodes, who hosts a show on the struggling Air America network, imitated the sound of gunfire while saying somebody ought to take the president fishing and then shoot him.
On May 12, New York Daily News columnist Michael Goodwin wrote a piece criticizing Air America, saying he had listened to the liberal radio network one day for 10 hours.
Air America's Randi Rhodes
"The queen of venom, Randi Rhodes, followed [Al] Franken in the host slot," Goodwin wrote. "Her imitation of a cracker military type telling a soldier to 'insert this fluorescent light bulb into that man's buttocks' was revolting. She compared U.S. prisons in Iraq to the 'Nazi gulag' and said, 'The day I say thank you to Rumsfeld is the same day I'll say thank you to the 12 people who raped me.'
Goodwin then notes Rhodes compared Bush and his family to the Corleones in the "Godfather" saga.
A review of the show's recording reveals Rhodes said the following in a discussion with a caller:
"The Fredo of the family is the president of the United States, so why doesn't his father or his brother … take him out for a little fishing, and let him say some Hail Marys – he loves God so much. … You know, Hail Mary, full of grace, God is with thee – pow [gunshot sound] – works for me."
As WorldNetDaily reported, on Monday Rhodes opened her show with an audio skit.
The announcer said: "A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn't safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here's your answer, you ungrateful whelp: Just try it, you little bastard. ."
According to the Drudge Report, government sources took the skit "very seriously," though Air America denies there's any federal probe taking place.
Rhodes has since apologized for the joke, saying it was a "stupid bit."
"If the bit was understood to be a threat against the president," Rhodes explained, "I need to apologize to the president of the United States, and I do. I also need to apologize to the Secret Service [which] has a very, very serious job. If they had to take two seconds out of their day to look into me, I apologize for that. … But where is the apology when they threaten judges from the Senate floor or from the House floor? Or where's the investigation into [WND columnist] Ann Coulter's mouth? …
"[My apology] is sincere. I feel bad that anybody would feel threatened by comedy. That's one thing, but I also feel bad that it wasn't funny. And I also feel bad that there could be a perception that I would be advocating violence against anybody, let alone the president of the United States of America. It's no secret that I think he's a terrible president, but I don't think that anybody should have violence advocated against them in any way, shape or form ever! … That [skit] will never see the light of day again. It was bad."
Alan Skorski is writing a book for WND Books about Rhodes' colleague at Air America, Al Franken. In his book, Skorski notes Rhodes' disdain for Bush, saying a promotion for her radio program last summer stated: "The difference between Hitler and Bush is that Hitler was elected."

Exercise after mastectomy
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am looking for the latest information regarding exercise for a very recent postop mastectomy. Or is it doctor related preference as how much exercise how soon?
Lora Packel, MSPT, Coordinator of Cancer Rehabilitation at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Many physicians and physical therapists recommend that exercise should be postponed until the drains are removed. Once your physician has cleared you to begin exercises, let the fun begin!
The goals of exercise after mastectomy are to increase the range of motion or flexibility of your shoulder and to prevent postural changes that can occur after surgery. Exercises should begin slowly, as healing of the surgical wound is of primary importance. Once the wound has healed and you are able to reach overhead, behind your back and touch the back of your head, you may begin using light weights. However, if you notice any swelling, heaviness or redness in your arm, hand, axilla, breast or trunk, immediately contact your nurse or physician. These may be early signs of lymphedema.
References for exercise and lymphedema can be found on this website as well as in Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book. In addition, you may benefit from seeing a physical therapist to help progress your program and teach you about lymphedema. This is especially important if you have any pre-existing shoulder problems or have had an extensive removal of your lymph nodes.

ELON � Police have identified the Elon University student struck by a car on campus Tuesday as Caroline C. Bauer, of Falmouth, Maine.
According to Elon Police, Bauer was using the crosswalk on Haggard Avenue closest to the Alamance building on campus and was hit by a car traveling at low speeds at 3:23 p.m. Tuesday.
�We had a student step into a crosswalk in front of a car,� Elon Police Chief Cliff Parker said Tuesday. He said Elon students "move across these crosswalks all the time."
According to the police report, driver Sue Ellen McKinney, of Burlington, said she'd slowed for the crosswalk and didn't notice anyone until she saw Bauer on the hood of her car. McKinney also stated she stopped immediately to check on Bauer.
On Wednesday, Parker said, �Based on preliminary information, I thought the car had the right-of-way.�
Later, police determined the driver was responsible.
�We went back over to see where the student was, based on witness statements,� Parker said, and determined Bauer had had the right-of-way and the driver was at fault.
McKinney was found responsible, but police are unsure whether she�ll be cited. Parker said the accident appeared to be �completely accidental.�
Though Bauer didn�t appear to have any obvious signs of injury, she complained of pain and was transported to Alamance Regional Medical Center for evaluation, Parker said. Her condition was not immediately known, but the police report said Bauer had scrapes on her hip and had traveled 21 feet after being struck by the car.
�There were witnesses who said she was alert and answering questions when paramedics arrived,� said Eric Townsend, director of university relations.

Quantification of dentrification in permeable sediments: insights from a two dimensional simulation analysis and experimental data
Document Type
Publication details
Cook, PLM, Wenzhofer, F, Rysgardd, S, Galaktionov, OS, Meysman, FJR, Eyre, BD, Cornwell, J, Huettel, M & Glud, RN 2006, 'Quantification of dentrification in permeable sediments: insights from a two dimensional simulation analysis and experimental data', Limnology and Oceanography Methods, vol. 4, pp. 294-307.
Using a two-dimensional simulation analysis, we investigated the effects of sediment flushing on denitrification and the implications for two methods commonly used to measure denitrification in intact sediment cores: the N2:Ar-ratio method and isotope pairing technique (IPT). Our simulations of experimental chamber incubations showed that advective flushing of the sediment can significantly increase sediment denitrification driven by NO3- from the water column (up to a factor of 5), but that nitrification and coupled nitrification-denitrification is reduced under conditions of sediment flushing (up to a factor of 6). N2 fluxes across SWI may differ significantly from actual rates of denitrification for periods lasting from 1 up to more than 5 d after changes in parameters such as sediment flushing rate and water column NO3- concentrations. Simulations of the isotope pairing technique showed that the rate of labeled N2 production, after the addition of 15NO3- may take up to ~24 h to reach steady state, depending on NO3- concentrations in the water column and sediment flushing rate. Measurements of denitrification in sand using IPT confirmed that short term incubations (11 h) underestimated the actual denitrification. Furthermore, model simulations were able to give a good estimate of measured N2 fluxes across SWI at different flushing rates under non–steady state conditions, confirming the ability of the model to realistically simulate experimental situations.

This "two~way" cloth pattern can be found here at "Strings and Sealing Wax"
Here is my "Scallop Pattern" cloth that I did using "Country Stripes".
This pretty pattern can be found here ...it only has the "pattern" instructions written out, so you need to add the stitches for your border on the sides and do extra rows for the top and bottom border...I just added 6 stitches...3 for each side and I knit 3 extra rows top and bottom for the border. This is a really pretty pattern and a simple one to follow.

Teravainen to lead Finland roster at WJC campby Adam Kimelman / Chicago Blackhawks
The camp, which will see Finland join the United States, Sweden and Canada for practice and exhibition games, is the first step in teams picking their squads for the 2014 WJC, which will be played Dec. 26 to Jan. 5, 2014, in Malmo, Sweden.
Teravainen, chosen by the Chicago Blackhawks with the 18th pick of the 2012 NHL Draft, had five goals and six assists in six games.
Another player from last year's team who will join Teravainen in Lake Placid is defenseman Olli Maatta. A 2012 first-round pick (No. 22) of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Maatta had three points in five games. He could be a leading candidate for the captaincy after serving as an alternate captain last year.
Defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen, who had six points, a plus-5 rating and 20 penalty minutes at last year's tournament, was removed from the roster Thursday. Ristolainen was taken by the Buffalo Sabres with the eighth pick of the 2013 NHL Draft.
Of the 24 players attending the camp, 11 have been drafted by NHL teams. The Nashville Predators will have two prospects there, goaltender Juuse Saros and defenseman Mikko Vainonen. The Tampa Bay Lightning also will have a pair of draft picks at the camp: forwards Henri Ikonen and Saku Salminen.
Thirteen of the players at the camp are eligible for the 2014 NHL Draft, including a pair of players who made NHL Central Scouting's futures list. Julius Honka, a 5-foot-10, 167-pound defenseman, had four goals and 11 assists in 42 games with JYP's team in the Finnish junior league last season, and had four points in seven games for Finland at the 2013 IIHF World Under-18 Championship.
Kasper Kapanen, a 5-11, 172-pound right wing, led Finland with five goals in seven games when the team won the bronze medal at the World U-18s. He had four goals in 13 games with KalPa in SM-liiga, Finland's top league. Kapanen's father, former NHL forward Sami Kapanen, owns the team and is a teammate.

The Drive platform gives you a group of APIs along with client libraries, language-specific examples, and documentation to help you develop apps that integrate with Drive.
The core functionality of Drive apps is to download and upload files in Google Drive. However, the Drive platform provides a lot more than just storage. This page describes some of that functionality and points you to resources for building it into your app.
Search for files
You can search for files using the files.list method of the Drive API.
Drive automatically indexes the content of most common file types (e.g. .html, .xml, .txt, ...) for search as soon as they are uploaded. Also, Drive uses OCR to find text in images or PDF files and automated object recognition technology to examine and index identifiable objects, people and places. For other resources such as drawings or other unique file types that are not automatically indexed by Google, apps can provide their own indexable text when they save files to Drive.
Distribute and market through Google Drive
Drive-enabled apps allow users to create and open content directly in the Drive UI. Drive-enabled apps are discoverable through the Connect apps to Drive dialog inside Google Drive:
Once your app is ready to distribute to the world, a listing in the Chrome Web Store will help it find the users that need and want it. See Create a listing for more information.
Share and collaborate
Google Drive apps can manage permissions and sharing settings of files. Also, apps can provide commenting and discussions on files, allowing users to work collaboratively on the documents they share in Drive. For more details on these features, see Share files and Manage Comments and Discussions.
In addition to managing permissions through the API using the Permissions collection, apps can display a standard Google Drive sharing dialog to let users share files. Apps can implement this by adding some simple Javascript to your application code as described in Launching the Google Drive sharing dialog in your app.
Create and open files using the Google Picker
Drive files can be opened from an application independently of the Drive UI. An application can easily fetch and display a list of files with the Google Picker as described in Open files using the Google Picker.
Use shortcuts
Applications can create shortcuts to data stored outside of Drive, in a different data store or cloud storage system. If you need to store files or file-like resources outside of Drive for any reason, shortcuts allow you to still list them in Google Drive.
Shortcuts behave a lot like files. They can be opened and created, indexed in search, and shared with other users. Unlike regular files, shortcuts do not contain any content.
For information and code samples for shortcuts, see Create a shortcut to a file.
Export and convert Google docs
The Drive platform allows developers to open, import, and export native Google Docs types such as Google Spreadsheets, Presentations, Documents, and Drawings. For instance, if your application is configured to open PDF files, then because Google Documents are exportable to PDF, users will be able to use your application to open those documents.
For a map of the supported formats and more detail about exporting and converting Google docs, see Open and convert Google Docs in your app.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
The key to preventing violence lies in teaching our children better ways of relating to others and how to resolve conflicts peacefully. At Cisneros Elementary we are committed to this endeavor by providing students and staff with a Violence Prevention and Character Education Program. This program is positive, coordinated, and consistent across all grades K – 5. This year, a variety of activities including assemblies, team building activities, role play scenarios, and discussions about ways to deal with violence will be introduced to students over the course of the school year.
Together, as equal partners we can create a safe and positive learning environment, an environment free from malicious teasing, threats, intimidation, and fear. No one should be afraid to come to school. Please join us in our effort to put an end to violence by reviewing the articles, strategies, character values, and Mustang Pledge your child will learn throughout the school year. Once again, thank you for your support in supporting our campaign against violence.

Reynolds Journalism Institute Fellow Wants to Protect Content from Online Pirates
By: Nu Yang
As more newspapers begin to put their content behind a paywall, Reynolds Journalism Institute Fellow Connie Farrow, along with Missouri-based American Newspaper Digital Access Corp. (newspaperdigitalaccess.com), is developing a business model that will protect online content and return value to the newspapers.
Farrow spent 20 years as a reporter and editor with publications such as The Springfield (Mo.) News-Leader, USA Today, and The Associated Press. She also owns her own public relations, media training, and advocacy business, Farrow Communications LLC.
Farrow said she was approached by ANDAC president and Columbia (Mo.) Daily Tribune general manager Andy Waters last summer to manage a project that would put online content on one central database in order to help newspapers fight back against online pirates who aggregate a newspaper's content.
According to Farrow, newspapers would upload their PDFs to an FTP server, and a third-party vendor would "disassemble" the story. She said items such as text, photos, and public notices would be broken out and made searchable. A link to the original PDF would also be available.
Farrow said the database could speed up the tearsheet process for advertisers. "It's usually a slow turnaround to show advertisers their ad in the paper," she said. "Now, they can just link the content back to the PDF."
Farrow said she is also experimenting with protecting public notices. Through this project, public notices can be digitalized and put into one central database, accessible to people around the country.
The Reynolds Journalism Institute, which is based at the Missouri School of Journalism, has been a valuable resource for Farrow. In the first four months of her fellowship, she focused on finding software that could "crack the code" on converting and reading files.
"RJI has allowed me to test ideas and concepts," Farrow said. "Right now, I'm working with students in the MBA program who are helping me identify markets and put together a business plan."
In addition to protecting content, publishers are able to use the database to create new revenue. Using a business-to-business model, subscribers pay a fee to access stories.
"Instead of subscribing through a paywall for each paper, businesses can pay one fee from ANDAC, and papers would receive revenue from ANDAC," Farrow said.
The project's aim is to address not only the challenges created from the Internet, but also the opportunities. "There's exciting, cutting-edge stuff … and we're helping newspapers think of new ways to be profitable."

Python 3.2
Update the Python 3 stack in Fedora from 3.1 to 3.2
- Name: Dave Malcolm
- Email: <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 15
- Last updated: 2011-04-06
- Percentage of completion: 96%
Upstream has now released 3.2 (see the upstream release schedule)
Latest in F15 is 3.2 (via via an errata)
Latest in F16 is 3.2
- verify status of bytecode. Last change seems to have been in upstream revision 84501, which changed the magic number of .pyc/.pyo files to 3170
- rpmlint is using the wrong magic number for 3.2 .pyc/.pyo files.
- teach the "file" command about 3.2's .pyc/.pyo files
Detailed Description
Python 3.2 is the latest release of the Python 3 language. Although the core language has been frozen (to allow the non-CPython implementation of Python to "catch up" with CPython), 3.2 contains hundreds of fixes and tweaks throughout, a few of which I'm responsible for ;-)
Benefit to Fedora
Fedora aims to showcase the latest in free and open source software - we should have the most recent release of Python 3.
The core python3 src.rpm has been rebuilt with the latest 3.2 code.
There have been some slight changes to the on-disk layout of how Python organizes extension modules: PEP-3147 and PEP-3149.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Python3#Python_3_already_in_Fedora indicates that as of Fedora 15 there are currently about 25-30 extension modules for Python 3 available via RPM. These will need rebuilding to cope with disk layout changes, and for the latest .pyc/.pyo bytecode format. I believe that the Fedora 15 mass rebuild will cover this; I will do any remaining rebuilds as necessary before the release. Many have already been done by package maintainers.
How To Test
Interested testers do not need special hardware. If you have a favorite Python 3 script, module, or application, please test it with Python 3.2 and verify that it still works as you expect.
My own test plan:
- Smoketest of the interpreter
- Run the upstream regression test suite (this is done during %check)
User Experience
Users should not notice any difference, other than the availability of the 3.2 interpreter
See notes in "Scope" above.
Contingency Plan
The bulk of the work is done, and appears stable.
Release Notes
The system Python 3 stack has been upgraded to 3.2 (the system Python 2 stack remains at 2.7), bringing in hundreds of fixes and tweaks; for a list of changes see http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.2.html

Now this report makes more sense to me than the one from that weird group the International Tribunal on Crimes of Church and State. Pope Benedict, who will return to being Joseph Ratzinger after his resignation is official, will continue to live at the Vatican so he can have that state's protection against criminal prosecution for his role in covering up the rape of children by Catholic priests.
Pope Benedict's decision to live in the Vatican after he resigns will provide him with security and privacy. It will also offer legal protection from any attempt to prosecute him in connection with sexual abuse cases around the world, Church sources and legal experts say.
"His continued presence in the Vatican is necessary, otherwise he might be defenseless. He wouldn't have his immunity, his prerogatives, his security, if he is anywhere else," said one Vatican official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"It is absolutely necessary" that he stays in the Vatican, said the source, adding that Benedict should have a "dignified existence" in his remaining years.
It doesn't really make sense for him to resign because of potential criminal prosecution, since remaining the head of a sovereign state would provide him more protection than not being one. Nor does the idea that he resigned to protect the church in the case of such prosecutions make much sense in light of the fact that they are going to continue to make sure he's immune from such prosecution. So I tend to think that he really did resign for health reasons, with the guarantee of immunity and protection from the Vatican giving him the necessary protection until he dies.

Home ... What We Do ... Resources ... Fact Sheets ... Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) is an umbrella term describing the range of effects that can occur in an individual whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. These effects can include physical, behavioral, mental and/ or learning disabilities with possible lifelong implications. It is identified by abnormal facial features, central nervous system problems and slowness of growth, and occurs when pregnant women drink alcohol and pass the alcohol along to their unborn babies through the blood stream. FASD can cause physical and mental disabilities of varying levels of severity (including intellectual disability). It is often a hidden disability that is not easily recognizable, making it difficult to provide affected individuals and their families the supports they desperately need.
FASD covers other terms such as: FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome), ARND (Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder), ARBD (Alcohol-Related Birth Defects) and FAE (Fetal Alcohol Effects). FAS is the most identifiable and serious disability under the FASD umbrella, although it only accounts for approximately 25% of all alcohol-related effects. FAE is a term often used to describe someone whose condition does not meet the full criteria for an FAS diagnosis.
The prevalence of FASD is not known. However, CDC (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention) studies have shown that 0.2 to 1.5 cases of FAS occur for every 1,000 live births in certain areas of the United States, while studies using different methods have estimated the rate of FAS at 0.5 to 2.0 cases per 1,000 live births. Other prenatal alcohol-related conditions are believed to occur approximately 3 times as often as FASD. FASD occurs in all types of homes and families in the U.S. The incidence of FASD is higher among certain tribes of Native Americans and Alaska natives. Also, it is not uncommon for adoptive parents to discover their adopted child has FASD.
Children with FASD can have serious lifelong disabilities other than intellectual disability, such as learning disabilities and serious behavioral problems. The good news is FASD is not hereditary and only occurs if a woman drinks alcohol during her pregnancy. In other words, FASD is 100% preventable.
Alcohol in the mother's blood passes through the placenta and enters the embryo or fetus through the umbilical cord. Through a number of biological means, alcohol affects the size, shape, and function of the cells that form the brain, the heart, the kidneys, and all other body organs and systems. Effects of these organs and systems can occur as a result of drinking any time during pregnancy.
No. There is no absolute safe amount of alcohol that a woman can drink during pregnancy. Risk of FASD increase as the amount of alcohol consumed increases. Risks are highest for women who binge drink (5 or more drinks on one drinking occasion). The best option is not to drink any alcohol you are pregnant. It's also important to refrain from drinking if planning a pregnancy, since many women do not realize or find out they are pregnant until the first or second month into their pregnancies. However, if a pregnant woman is drinking during pregnancy, it is never too late for her to stop. The sooner a woman quits drinking, the better it will be for both her and her baby. Even if a woman is not planning a pregnancy, if she is sexually active and not using contraception effectively, the best option is to limit alcohol consumption as there is a risk she could be pregnant and not know it.
No. All drinks that contain alcohol pose a potential threat to the unborn baby. A standard 12 ounce can of beer has the same amount of alcohol as a 4 ounce glass of wine or a 1 ounce shot of straight liquor. Some alcoholic drinks, such as malt beverages, wine coolers, and mixed drinks often contain more alcohol than a 12 ounce can of beer.
No, a father's drinking cannot cause FASD. However, his role is important in helping the woman refrain from drinking during pregnancy. He can encourage her abstinence by avoiding social situations where drinking is the focus and by abstaining himself.
FASD is diagnosed by 4 criteria:
FASD occurs in all types of homes and families in the U.S. The incidence of FASD is higher among certain tribes of Native Americans and Alaska natives. Also, it is not uncommon for adoptive parents to discover their adopted child has FASD. A recent survey of children with FASD evaluated at a pediatric clinic found 35 percent were living in adoptive families (Blackston, 2002).
No, not everyone with FASD has intellectual disability although FASD is the leading known preventable cause of intellectual disability. Approximately 25 percent of people with FAS and 10 percent of people with ARND (alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorders) have IQ scores of 70 or below which is in the range of those with mental retardation (Streissguth, 1997). Even if a child with FASD does not have intellectual disability, the child often has learning disabilities that interfere with sound judgment and can cause behavioral problems that significantly impact his or her life.
There is no cure for this condition and it does not appear to get better with age. The damage of FASD caused by a mother's drinking during pregnancy is permanent. However, with early identification and diagnosis, children with FASD can receive services that can help maximize their potential. They will benefit from early intervention services and an individualized education program in school that includes preparation for transition from school to work and possible further education. Many people with FASD benefit from one-on-one counseling support. In addition, they often require intensive service coordination if they do not have someone who can coordinate the many services they need (such as ongoing individual therapy, job coaching, housing, and transportation).
Secondary conditions (conditions that occur due to having FASD) often occur later in life, such as inability to live independently or hold down a job, mental health problems, drug/alcohol addictions, failure to develop appropriate sexual behavior and consequent legal problems. Once FASD is diagnosed in a child, secondary conditions can be reduced and in some cases prevented altogether. Some research has suggested that children are protected from developing secondary conditions if they are diagnosed before age 6, live in a stable and nurturing home, never experience violence against themselves, stay in each living situation at least 2.8 years, experience a good quality home from 8 to 12 years of age, apply for and are eligible for developmental disabilities services, have a diagnosis of FAS rather than ARND and have their basic needs met (Streissguth, 1997).
There are programs offering income assistance, health care and related services, education, help with basic needs such as food programs and social services and child welfare services. Specific services may include early childhood intervention, special education, and vocational services. The National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome can direct families to support groups and medical personnel who may be able to provide diagnosis and treatment to affected children and adults. Some chapters of The Arc focus on preventing FASD, while others offer support groups that assist families with children who have FASD.

Etherpad Lite is awesome. Have you ever organized a conference, large meeting, or foocamp and thought "wow, I could really have used an etherpad at this event." But many times organizers don't have the resources to get this kind of stuff running. Now, in an effort to make it trivial for anyone to set up an etherpad, James has implemented an etherpad lite formula for ensemble.
Here are the steps. First install and configure Ensemble, this is just putting your AWS keys in an environment file and/or using a PPA if you're not on 11.10. Then we bootstrap, snag James' formula, and then deploy it in EC2.
ensemble bootstrap bzr branch lp:~ensemble-composers/+junk/etherpad-lite ensemble deploy --repository= . etherpad-lite
Right now we're grabbing formulas from Launchpad but in the future that will be much more user friendly, where you can search for formulas right from the ensemble command (Like apt-cache search). It takes about 5 minutes to bootstrap, and then another 5-10 minutes to deploy, since it's installing everything we need for Etherpad Lite and then installing it on EC2.
Then let's check in how that's going with:
ensemble status
2011-08-30 13:24:33,166 INFO Connecting to environment. machines: 0: {dns-name: ec2-107-20-19-203.compute-1.amazonaws.com, instance-id: i-6b706b0a} 1: {dns-name: ec2-107-20-7-236.compute-1.amazonaws.com, instance-id: i-8f6b70ee} services: etherpad-lite: formula: local:etherpad-lite-5 relations: {} units: etherpad-lite/0: machine: 1 relations: {} state: started 2011-08-30 13:24:35,883 INFO 'status' command finished successfully
Ok as we can see there the service has state:started, which means it's running. Node 1 is our instance so let's hit it up, we hit up port 9001 because that's the Etherpad Lite's default port:
Neat huh? Ok so I don't have a fancy URL like pad.socallinuxexpo.org (Hint hint Gareth!) but you get the idea. I'll leave it running for a while so you can mess with it. When your conference is done, save your data and tear it all down with
ensemble shutdown
or keep it around, up to you.
Currently it's only running in a single instance, there's no logic in the formula for load balancing or anything yet, but James tells me it scales pretty nicely on just once instance. You'll also note that I don't have to know/care about building node.js or npm or any of those dependencies. The formula author basically does the work for everyone, ONCE, and then people like me who aren't familiar with deploying this sort of app can just enjoy using Etherpad Lite.
Ok so now $your_favorite_event can have an etherpad very easily. We've already made it easy to get mediawiki, it's my hope that eventually we'll have formulas for every service a conference would need to get running so they can just fire it up.
This is just an example on the public cloud, later on we'll show you how to deploy to bare metal using these exact commands.Read more

The Kings have not yet lost to an Aussie team this season and will be looking to keep that record intact when they host the Waratahs in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
In their maiden Super Rugby season, the tournament newcomers have beaten the Force, Rebels and drew with the table-topping Brumbies.
Whilst the Kings have squashed their pre-season billing as easybeats, they have struggled since returning home from a successful trip of Australasia – suffering back-to-back losses to the Bulls (34-0) and Cheetahs (26-12).
They will also be looking to get back on the try-scoring sheet this weekend, after going tryless in their last two outings.
Yet despite languishing near the bottom of the table, the hosts will feel confident knowing they've scored at least two tries in each of their three matches against Aussie opposition this year.
The Kings also have try-hungry teenage wing Sergeal Petersen back in their starting line-up. After missing the Kings' past two games because of a groin strain, Petersen will add extra bite to the home team's attack for what promises to be a fiery showdown.
It remains to be seen though if the young speedster's return will be the difference between winning and losing, as the Waratahs bid to keep their faint hopes of finishing in the top six alive.
They currently occupy 11th spot on the overall log and sit third in the Australian conference – 12 points adrift of the second-placed Reds.
The men from Sydney have made a steady recovery from a poor start to the season, having knocked over the Blues and Chiefs before taking the Bulls by the horns only to fade in the final 10 minutes on the Highveld.
Last week's 30-19 defeat in Pretoria means the Waratahs have now lost their last eight matches on the trot in the Republic – dating back to 2009 – but have plenty of game-breakers of their own and boast plenty of Wallabies to help reap some much-needed rewards.
Prediction: Playing the Kings at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium proved to be a tough task for visiting teams before the Bulls came to town. The vocal home supporters will try get under the Waratahs' skin, but we think the hosts are giong to need a lot more than their boisterous crowd to pull this one off. Waratahs by 10!
The teams:
Kings: 15 George Whitehead, 14 Sergeal Petersen, 13 Ronnie Cooke, 12 Andries Strauss (c), 11 Siyanda Grey, 10 Demetri Catrakilis, 9 Shaun Venter, 8 Jacques Engelbrecht, 7 Wimpie van der Walt, 6 Cornell du Preez, 5 Rynier Bernado, 4 Steven Sykes, 3 Kevin Buys, 2 Bandise Maku, 1 Schalk Ferreira.
Replacements: 16 Virgile Lacombe, 17 Grant Kemp, 18 David Bulbring, 19 Luke Watson, 20 Nicolas Vergallo, 21 Waylon Murray, 22 Siviwe Soyizwapi.
Waratahs: 15 Israel Folau, 14 Cam Crawford, 13 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12 Rob Horne, 11 Peter Betham, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Brendan McKibbin, 8 Wycliff Palu, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Dave Dennis (c), 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 3 Sekope Kepu, 2 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 1 Benn Robinson.
Replacements: 16 John Ulugia, 17 Paddy Ryan, 18 Will Skelton, 19 Mitchell Chapman, 20 Pat McCutcheon, 21 Matt Lucas, 22 Ben Volavola, 23 Tom Kingston.

Rabbit report aims to address bunny population
City officials try to work with those with varying views
Pets or pests, Valdez officials are working to accommodate the lovers and haters of the feral rabbit population found abundantly throughout town.
Bill Comer, Valdez Police Chief, issued a report to the city manager and city council Monday outlining procedures residents and business owners should use to deal with nuisance rabbits. The problem is, not everybody sees the feral bunnies as problem.
"Some people might call them pets," Comer said in an interview Monday. "Some people feral, some people wild."
Over the years, the feral rabbit population has been a subject of controversy; hours of city council time has been devoted to listening to citizen complaints about the problems the bunnies present; conversely, fans of the rabbits have also made public their case against suggestions the population be thinned or eradicated.
Ironically, Comer said that his department, which includes animal control, has not received any rabbit-related calls this year, despite a recent plea made to council by an anti-rabbit faction.
"We haven't had any rabbit complaints," Comer said. "No one has asked for help."
In his report, Comer said if home or business owners have a complaint or need assistance with rabbit issues, they should contact the Animal Control Officer (ACO) Mike Lindquist.
"The ACO is in the process of developing an informational guide for residents to assist them with managing rabbit problems through the selection of certain types of garden plants and/or the use of different deterrents," Comer's report said. "If necessary, the ACO will also provide a live trap and advise residents on the best practice for trapping. When a rabbit is trapped, it can be turned into the Animal Shelter. If the live trapping efforts by the complainant are unsuccessful, the ACO will further assist them as necessary."
Those responsible for the property where rabbits are nesting or spending their days bear the burden of dealing with the feral population.
"Whoever owns the property really should be the contact," Comer said. Property renters also bear a burden to communicate with owners to deal with problem rabbits.
"Rabbits turned into the Valdez Animal Shelter are entered into the shelter system and can
be adopted out if an appropriate home can be found. In the past, when no suitable
location is available, they have been released or relocated in unpopulated areas out of
town," the report said. "This generally results in the rabbits becoming part of the food chain.
Ultimately the ACO will work with citizens to resolve their issues in a professional and
responsible manner, keeping the rights and desires of property owners and health and
safety concerns as a mandate."
The report does not address issues faced by fans of the rabbits, the descendents of domesticated pets that have gone semi-wild. Some of the population are very tame and will answer if called, hopping up to anyone who looks like a soft touch that might feed them.
Some city officials feel that those that feed rabbits are greatly contributing to the nuisance bunny problem faced by many.
The very tame bunnies that once populated the Post Office in Valdez have disappeared. A postal employee – who disliked the mounds of rabbit poop that mounted in the area only to be tracked into the building on the bottoms of shoes – said that people with large fishing nets had been seen in the area catching rabbits.
However, a less tame family built a den on the outer edges of the back parking lot and is raising a family in the same area.
Others are dismayed in the decline of the population or the loss of personal favorite bunnies that they'd pampered in areas they frequent or even fed outside their homes.
"I would hope that people would quit feeding them," councilwoman Dorothy Moore said about the issue during Monday night's council meeting.
Comer expressed similar thoughts before the meeting.
"Generally speaking," he said, "…rabbits wouldn't be such a big deal if people would stop feeding them."
That scenario is highly unlikely.
Tammy Hurst, who rescues many former pets and injured feral bunnies, said a large number of predators haunted Valdez this winter last winter and spring, including a lynx and a badger.
Hurst said she has found a home for the town's unwanted rabbits, offering a second non-lethal solution.
Hurst has a large number of rabbit hutches around her family's property on Fidalgo St, where they ran the Sound Flooring business. She said anyone that traps a rabbit can bring it to the Fidalgo St property and put it in an empty hutch for relocation to the Kenny Lake area, where she has found an owner of a large property that is looking for as many rabbits as possible.
She said they'd already relocated about 15 rabbits to the property and were aiming to make several more deliveries through the summer.
Hurst stressed that any rabbits dropped off at her property must be put in an empty hutch.
"Don't kill them," she stressed, "They are gentle creatures!"
In years past, rabbit lovers in have made complaints to the Valdez Police Dept. that people were killing rabbits illegally.
Comer said the law is tricky when it comes to killing feral animals.
"If it's a domesticated rabbit, you can shoot a bb or pellet gun on your own property," he said.
Lethal traps that could kill or injure native fauna or actual domestic pets are prohibited in Valdez, save for certain areas. A map is available at the city's website or at city hall. The animal shelter has a loan program for the "have-a-heart" type traps the physically trap small animals in cages without injuring the body.
Comer said anyone caught hunting rabbits in town will definitely face legal consequences.
He also said he hopes property owners will be proactive in dealing with unwanted rabbits.
"We'll help with people if there's issues they want to get in front of," Comer said.

Report: Raptors hire Ujiri as new general manager
The Toronto Raptors have reportedly signed Denver Nuggets general manager Masai Ujiri to a five-year contract to run the team's basketball operations.
According to multiple sources, including USA Today and Yahoo! Sports, the deal is worth $15 million.
Ujiri, 42, was recently named NBA Executive of the Year after he helped Denver win 57 games and finish third in the Western Conference. The Nuggets' season came to an end, though, with a loss to the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs.
Ujiri was hired as general manager in 2010 and was responsible for rebuilding the Nuggets after trading away Carmelo Anthony to the New York Knicks, including receiving Andre Iguodala in the four-team trade that sent Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers.
For Ujiri, it will be a homecoming of sorts, as he was the Raptors' assistant general manager from 2008-10. He will also be working with his old boss, Bryan Colangelo, who was stripped of his GM duties on May 21, but will still act as team president.
The Raptors finished 34-48 this past season, their fifth straight losing record, and have not made the playoffs since the 2007-08 campaign.

Vladimir Putin Restricting Naughty Language And 'Unregistered' Bloggers
from the a-personal-threat dept
I've always kind of known that Vladimir Putin was a bit of a bastard. Between his hypocrisy on government snooping, to his horrific record on matters of artistic and political speech, and his absolute willingness to destabilize his neighborhood in favor of having Russia pick up some territory that didn't belong to it in the form of Georgia and Ukraine. That said, two recent actions by Putin are starting to make me think this guy might just be as bad as everyone says.
The first is what appears to be an entirely childish attempt to stifle supposedly naughty language in the arts.
Any new film containing obscene language won't be granted a distribution certificate, so there's no chance of seeing it at the movie theater. And copies of books, CDs or films containing swearing can only be distributed in a sealed package labeled "Contains obscene language," a Kremlin statement said. According to state news agency ITAR-Tass, individuals caught using foul language face a fine of up to $70, while officials can be fined up to $40 and businesses nearly $1,400. They face a higher fine and a three-month suspension of business for repeated offenses.As of the time of this writing, it's unclear exactly what will constitute "obscene" language, though the Russian government has helpfully noted that they'll be the ones judging such obscenities with an "independent examination," which is likely to be just as "independent" as you'd suppose. Given the fact that Russia has found the LGBT community in the past to be oh-so icky-icky, you'd have to imagine that language dealing with their community will be on the list, alongside some of the hallmark swear words, like religiously offensive language, f-bombs, and-
Er, thank you, Mr. President. My problem with this should be obvious: I love swearing. Seriously, I use the f-word as a verbal comma. But putting me aside, the idea that a developed nation's leader could think so little of his own people as to make it the state's responsibility to protect their delicate little ears is beyond silly. Restrictions on free speech are one thing, but when you're restricting the only speech that makes logical sense as a reaction to the very restriction on that speech, things have gone recursively wrong. Because if your first reaction to someone telling you that you can't swear any longer isn't "Well, shit," then you have a problem.
But if you thought that Putin was going to get blasted for this motherly move online, you may not know that he also signed into law the requirement for bloggers with even modest readership to register with the government and ban anonymity on their sites, which we were among the first to report about a few weeks back:
Russia has taken another major step toward restricting its once freewheeling Internet, as President Vladimir V. Putin quietly signed a new law requiring popular online voices to register with the government, a measure that lawyers, Internet pioneers and political activists said Tuesday would give the government a much wider ability to track who said what online.This is, of course, aimed at chilling speech critical of Putin's Russian government, which currently seems to be attempting to scale back the whole democracy thing and inch closer and closer to the days of the Soviet Union. I don't say that lightly. Russia's restrictions on speech, freedom, persecution of minorities, and a clear aim towards expansion of real territory and cultural influence are something right out of the post World War Two era. This might scare some people, but not me.
Widely known as the "bloggers law," the new Russian measure specifies that any site with more than 3,000 visitors daily will be considered a media outlet akin to a newspaper and be responsible for the accuracy of the information published. Besides registering, bloggers can no longer remain anonymous online, and organizations that provide platforms for their work such as search engines, social networks and other forums must maintain computer records on Russian soil of everything posted over the previous six months.
Why? Because, just like the recent revolution in Ukraine, this kind of thing doesn't work any longer. And, yes, I realize that there are nations out there that still restrict the internet, speech, and freedoms, but they don't go from democratically free back to repression any longer. That whole thing about the internet being the "Wild West" is true in some ways. Putin will never be able to plug all the holes. He'll never be able to tamp down all the critical speech. And, like the former Ukraine government found before him, he will end up finding that the tighter he grips the internet's throat, the stronger it will fight back. It may not be quick, but it will happen.

Control Arms - Front at 1A Auto
What is a front control arm and where is it located?
Your vehicle's rear and front control arms play a major role in your car or truck's suspension system. Generally speaking, a vehicle's control arms act as the pivot point from the wheels to the road and the springs or struts to the frame or unibody of the vehicle. They keep the up and down motion of the vehicle's wheels in relation to its body synchronized while holding the knuckles, spindles, and axles firmly onto the vehicle. In a nutshell, rear and front control arms hold everything together and help you maintain control of your car or truck so that it isn't wandering all over the place. As a result, you are able to drive your vehicle smoothly without feeling like you are about to be sick from the dizzying movement.
Front control arms, like those located in the rear, work in tandem with bushings which are used to reduce friction and prevent any contact between the components which could prove to be damaging. The vast majority of front control arms will also have a ball joint mounted securely to them which also allow for the control arm to rotate up and down without binding up.
The number, type and location of control arms on a vehicle vary greatly and are dependent on the type of suspension system the car is equipped with. A vehicle with independent front suspension may have upper and lower control arms tucked behind each wheel, which are commonly referred to as "A-Arms." A vehicle with a MacPherson strut style suspension system in the front would only use lower control arms because the strut essentially takes the place of the upper control arms. In terms of construction, a front control arm can be made out of stamped steel, cast iron, or aluminum, and each material brings with it its own set of pros and cons. For an in-depth explanation of the various control arm setups that are possible on a vehicle and the different materials that they are made of, check out our control arms guide.
How do I know my front control arm needs to be replaced?
The front control arms, like all control arms in general, are always being subjected to significant day to day abuse whether in an off-road terrain environment, or just bad road conditions on your daily commute. Front control arms can wear out where the ball joints attach, and the bushings attached to the other end of the control arms can also wear out or become loose. This is the most common reason for front control arm replacement because either of these scenarios can cause excessive tire wear, popping, or creaking in the suspension system, extra play in the steering system, and can pose a serious safety concern for you as well for others around you.
Although it is possible to replace the ball joint or the bushings themselves when they go bad, this can be difficult. Replacing a ball joint, for example, may require specialty tools to press the ball joint to the control arm. Since you will already need to remove the control arm to replace a ball joint or the bushings, you may as well replace the entire control arm.
The front control arms themselves can also get bent over time, either from an accident or possibly from a tow job gone bad. All of these are great reasons to replace a front control arm.
Can I replace the front control arm myself?
Front control arm removal usually requires a number of sockets and a ratchet, jack and jack stands, penetrating oil, hammer, and a torque wrench for reinstallation. The first step is to jack up the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. If you don't have the luxury of air tools, then you want to loosen the lug nuts on the wheel while the vehicle is on the ground, jack up the vehicle, and then remove the lug nuts and the wheel the rest of the way. Depending on the control arm, they usually require the removal of a castle nut and retaining pin or a simple nut that keeps the ball joint connected. If the control arm has a separate ball joint, after you've separated it, secure the knuckle in place to keep it from moving. Then remove the two bolts that keep the control arm connected to the vehicle. A lot of penetrating oil and a bit of hammering to loosen the control arm may be needed. Reinstallation is simply the reversal of the prodecure, but it can vary from vehicle to vehicle, so its recommended to follow a guide during the process. After completeing the repair, it's recommended to get an alignment.

Stocks decline as a busy week for markets begins
NEW YORK — Three days before the end of the month, a blistering rally in stocks appears to be fading.
The stock market edged lower Monday as a big week for economic news got underway. A string of big-name merger deals wasn't enough to push indexes higher.
On Wednesday the government will report its first estimate of U.S. economic growth for the second quarter, and on Friday it will publish its monthly jobs survey.
Both reports will give investors a better idea about the strength of the economy and what's next for the Federal Reserve's stimulus program. Investors will hear from the Fed on Wednesday after the bank winds up a two-day policy meeting. The central bank's stimulus has been a major factor in supporting a four-year rally in stocks.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped four points, or 0.4 percent, to 1,684, as of 2:43 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
Five of the 10 sectors in the index fell. The declines were led by energy companies and banks.
The benchmark index is still up 5.1 percent in July, and the S&P 500 is on track to have its best month since October 2011. The index jumped this month, climbing to an all-time high July 22, after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke assured investors that the Fed wouldn't cut its stimulus before the economy was ready.
Stocks may struggle to add to their gains given that expectations for the economy remain modest, said Scott Wren, a senior equity strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors.
"I don't think you're going to see the market sustain much higher levels than this," said Wren. "All this data is going to show that we are slowly improving, but it's a slow process and there's not much to get excited about."
The U.S. economy is forecast to have grown 0.5 percent in the second quarter, according to data provider FactSet.
A trio of corporate deals caught investors' attention Monday but failed to ignite the broader market.
Saks jumped after Canadian retailer Hudson's Bay, the parent company of Lord & Taylor, agreed to buy the luxury store operator for $2.4 billion, or $16 a share. Saks rose 54 cents, or 3.5 percent, to $15.84.
Omnicom Group jumped in early trading after agreeing to combine with France's Publicis Groupe to create the world's largest advertising company. Omnicom fell back by noon, gaining 32 cents, or 0.5 percent, to $65.43. Interpublic Group, another big advertising company, also rose 68 cents, or 4.3 percent, to $16.56.
Drugmaker Perrigo fell $8.86, or 6.7 percent, to $125.2 after the drugmaker agreed to buy Ireland's Elan for $8.6 billion.
The deals should be positive for the stock market in the long run, said Dan Veru, chief investment officer at Palisade Capital Management. Companies are sitting on record cash balances and borrowing costs, though rising, are still close to record lows.
"Companies are struggling to grow organically," said Veru. "So, how do they grow? They grow by buying other businesses."
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 41 points, or 0.3 percent, to 15,517. The Nasdaq composite dropped 11 points, or 0.3 percent, to 3,601.
Investors will also be focusing on corporate earnings this week.
Just over half of the companies in the S&P 500 index have reported earnings for the second quarter. Analysts are currently forecasting earnings growth of 4 percent for the April-through-June period, according to S&P Capital IQ. That's the slowest rate of growth in three quarters.
In government bond trading, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.59 percent from 2.56 percent Friday. The note's yield, which moves inversely to its price, has climbed about 1 percentage point since the start of May, when it hit its low point of 1.63 percent the year.
Higher government bond rates push up the mortgage rates, which could threaten the housing recovery.
The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes dipped in June from a six-year high in May, the National Association of Realtors said Monday. The slight decline suggests higher mortgage rates may be starting to slow sales.
Should rates rise too quickly the Fed will likely keep up with its stimulus for longer, said Colleen Supran, a principle at Bingham, Osborn and Scarborough, a wealth management firm.
"We really need the housing market to stay on track to keep economic growth on track," said Supran.
In commodities trading, crude oil rose 35 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $105.05 a barrel. Gold climbed $7.20, or 0.5 percent, to $1,328.70 an ounce.
The dollar gained against the euro, but fell against the Japanese yen.

Pennsylvania students win control programming, design contest
A team of seventh- and eighth-grade students from Infinity Charter School in Penbrook, Pa., has won a trip to Hanover, Germany, in Phoenix Contact's Nanoline Contest. The announcement comes as part of Phoenix Contact's National Engineers Week celebration.
The team built a "Smart Solar Mobile Charging Station" (SSMCS). The SSMCS device can intelligently track the sun for non-stationary applications, such as electric vehicles or boats. It uses solar energy to charge batteries of electric vehicles.
Using Phoenix Contact's nanoNavigator software, the team wrote several programs to monitor conditions such as the time of day, level of battery, whether the car is on or off and the acceptable voltage difference. Based on these conditions, the Nanoline controller can maximize the vehicle's charging capabilities. The system also uses the Nanoline's SMS capability to send the operator a text message about the current battery level.
Team members are Sam Wille, William Leuschner, James Thompson and Jerrett King. They will travel to Hanover, Germany, this April, where they will demonstrate the project at the TectoYou Hall at Hanover Fair (Hannover Messe.) Hanover Fair is the world's largest industrial tradeshow, and TectoYou is a special hall dedicated to inspiring young people to consider careers in engineering.
Second place ($500) went to Lower Dauphin High School, Hummelstown, Pa., for the Computerized Universal Remote Table Interface System (C.U.R.T.I.S.). Early College East High School, Havelock, N.C., took third prize ($250) for the HYDROPAL home water management system.
Phoenix Contact engineers also voted on the projects. The inaugural "Phoenix Contact Engineers' Choice" award ($100) went to the Infinity team.
The Nanoline Contest challenges students to build a working control system using Phoenix Contact's Nanoline controller and nanoNavigator software.
