Apple pressed Palm on 'no poaching' pact: documents
Apple pressed Palm on 'no poaching' pact: documents
Unsealed copies of an email exchanged between Jobs and then Palm president Edward Colligan in 2007 were among evidence in a lawsuit charging Silicon Valley giants secretly agreed not to "poach" workers from rival firms.
Colligan referred to a phone call in which Jobs proposed the companies not hire each other's employees and suggested that if Palm did not agree to such a pact, Apple would embroil it in costly patent lawsuits.
"Your proposal that we agree that neither company will hire the other's employees, regardless of the individual's desires, is not only wrong, it is likely illegal," Colligan said in a copy of an email message to Jobs dated August 24 of 2007.
Colligan's message went on to argue that patent litigation was not the answer because both companies would wind up "paying a lot of lawyers a lot of money."
In an email response, Jobs said, "This is not satisfactory to Apple."
"I'm sure you realize the asymmetry in the financial resources of our respective companies when you say 'we will both just end up paying a lot of lawyers a lot of money,'" Jobs said in his reply.
"My advice is to take a look at our patent portfolio before you make a final decision here."
Palm never agreed to the deal, Colligan said in a sworn statement that accompanied copies of email messages entered as exhibits in the case.
A smartphone pioneer, Palm failed to capitalize on its position in the market and was bought by computer maker Hewlett-Packard in 2010.
US District Court Judge Lucy Koh has cleared the way for Apple chief Tim Cook, Google chairman Eric Schmidt and Intel head Paul Otellini to face questioning in the "no-poaching" lawsuit set for trial in November.
During a hearing last week in her courtroom in the California city of San Jose, Koh referred repeatedly to email evidence that included a request in 2007 by then Apple chief Jobs that Google stop recruiting Apple workers.
While Cook was not mentioned in the email messages, it was reasonable to expect that his position as chief operating officer included being kept apprised of issues involving employee expenses, the judge said.
Cook took over as Apple chief in 2011 after Jobs stepped down due to a battle with cancer, which claimed his life.
Lawyers representing the plaintiffs have asked Koh to grant them class-action status to represent all workers who may have been affected.
The civil suit filed in 2011 followed the settling of restraint of trade litigation by the US Justice Department due to a "no-poaching" agreement involving an array of Silicon Valley companies.

Non-Rhyming Poetry
If you are interested in writing a rhyming poem, we suggest that you check out Part 1 in our Poetry Before You Know It series. There you'll learn how to write a funny poem called a limerick, and you'll get lots of suggestions for how to use the computer to help you write other rhyming poems.
To start, let's suppose your teacher wants you to write a poem that doesn't rhyme. Maybe the teacher will let you write any type of non-rhyming poem or maybe you'll need to write a certain type of non-rhyming poem. Poems that don't rhyme can be tricky, but they are also fun to write because you can concentrate on the words and what they mean and not bother about trying to rhyme.
There are many different types of non-rhyming poems such as the Acrostic, where the first letter in each line spells a word when you examine the letters vertically, or Shape poetry in which the lines of the poem create the shape of the subject of the poem. An Acrostic about Mother's Day might spell the word BEAUTIFUL, and a Shape poem about a holiday cruise might have its lines in the form of a ship. Some other types of non-rhyming poems include: Cinquain, Diamante, Haiku, Palindrome, Free Verse, etc. To find out more about different types of poetry, go to Shadow Poetry (http://www.shadowpoetry.com/resources/wip/types.html).
Because Japanese Haiku poetry can be so beautiful, we thought we'd help you with the writing of one. In a Haiku you usually write about nature or feelings, and you generally use a certain number of lines and syllables. Keep in mind that we said "generally." Haiku form can vary, but Haikus usually go with the rule 5/7/5, meaning five syllables in lines one and three, and seven in line two. Haikus are short poems with only three lines, like this:
Flashing in the sky
It lights the trees on the hills,
And then disappears.
Now it's your turn to write a Haiku. Let's do one on feelings. Open a word processing program and begin to experiment with ideas that describe the following situation. It's time for semester exams, but you've been busy, and didn't take time to study for your U.S. History exam. You thought you knew enough to get by. Then the teacher gives out the test, you look at the answers, and you feel
We've given you some ideas, but we bet you can write a better one on your own. Remember, the first line usually has five syllables:
Sweat pours from my pores,
Dripping onto the questions.
I should have studied.
Keep in mind that poetry is not just using techniques such as the letters in an Acrostic poem, rhyming in a rhyming poem, or counting syllables and lines. When you are writing a poem, think of unique ways to say what you have in mind. Listen to how words sound. Think about how literary devices (alliteration, onomatopoeia, symbolism, hyperbole, metaphor, simile, etc.) will enhance your work. Use your observation skills and consider methods that would describe what you see in ways that you wouldn't when writing an essay or a report. Consider poetry a beautiful and unique way of expressing your ideas.
When you write poetry, type your work into the computer as your thoughts come to mind. Word processing makes it easy to rearrange lines and change lines and words around. On the computer you can experiment in ways that aren't possible with traditional writing. You might even have your computer read your work back to you. Some Windows computers and all Macintosh System X computers can do this for you. By heading to the Internet you can, in addition, get lots of ideas about types of poems and tons of inspiration for your life as a poet. Finally, depending upon the type of poem you are writing and your teacher's guidelines for submission, you may want to use a computer art, paint, or photography program to make a perfect background or frame for your poem.
The computer does make it easier for writers, especially poets.
Here're some sites to give you some help with writing rhyming and non-rhyming poems:
Poetry 180: Poem a Day for High School Students
So you have to read a poem, yours or a famous poet's, aloud. Here's how. Reading poetry correctly will also help you with your poem's meter or rhythm.

If your teacher assigns a specific type of poem, you can head to Shadow Poetry to find out exactly what you need to write. Shadow poetry gives you information on rhyming patterns and beat, along with other ideas about writing poems.

In case you've been stuck in a cave somewhere, you no doubt have noticed that the holiday season is once again upon us. The Thanksgiving turkey has long since been devoured…including the leftover turkey casseroles, turkey sandwiches, turkey tetrazzini, turkey pot pie, etc. We've made it through Black Friday, Cyber Monday, the weather has turned a tad chilly of late and the traditional animated Christmas shows have made their way to our television sets…now in the crystal clear images that Hi-Def offers.
Local traffic around malls are a nightmare to navigate, shoppers are pushing and shoving one another in line at Macy's, fruitcakes that will never be consumed are being mailed to distant nephews and nieces and fist fights are breaking out in the toy aisles of Walmart.
Ah, yes folks…it's the most wonderful time of the year!
While our tax exemptions count down the days until they can rumble down the steps and begin shredding away the pretty wrapping paper to expose their much sought after presents, the good people of Thrasherville have already begun to receive their gifts. They are gifts coming in the form of some great overall play by their on-ice combatants, the Atlanta Thrashers.
Now, it isn't as though the Thrashers have been exactly Scrooge-like in years past. In fact, they have been all-too generous and giving in their ways in recent seasons… especially on defense. The only problem was that it was normally the opposing team that benefited from their charity.
Too many times they played the role of Santa Claus by gift-wrapping games and handing them over to the other team. Pucks would be given away in the Thrashers defensive zone…goals were handed out like holiday candy…and leads were returned quicker than the aftershave in a bottle shaped like a race car that came from the mother-in-law…and all Thrashers fans were left with was a lump of coal. Indeed there were three words that described the Thrashers of those seasons.
But these Thrashers seemed to have been transformed anew this season…a transformation almost the equal to the one experienced by the famous miser in Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol'. They are now in the midst of a seven wins in eight games stretch that began the Friday prior to Thanksgiving, taking what was a 7-9-3 record to 14-10-3. They have scored 27 goals during that period while allowing only 9. And they have surprised us all with the best hockey we've seen around here in a very long time… a gift none of us were expecting from this team, not at this point in the season at least.
And these are presents no one in Thrasherville will be looking to re-gift. Nope…these are keepers.
Saturday night the Thrasher continued their winning ways as they wrapped up a three game road trip with a very solid 3-1 win over the Washington Capitals. Atlanta is now 3-1-1 against the Southeast leading Caps, have scored 19 goals in those five games and have accounted for 3 of the their 8 regulation losses on the season.
Ya know…it almost seems like a shame that we'll only get to face the Capitals one more time this season.
"It's a huge win for us" head coach Craig Ramsay said after the 3-1 win of the Capitals Saturday night. "This is just another big step, but it's a step against one of the best teams in hockey".
"You have to like that. You have to enjoy it. You have to savor the moment."
Yes, savor it. Much like that cup of hot chocolate served up on a cold night while you sit in front of a warm fireplace where the stocking are hung with care. Especially if said cup of cocoa has been topped off with a little bit of some sort of adult beverage.
If there has been one player on this squad who has been somewhat Grinch-like in his ways, however, it's Ondrej Pavelec. But it isn't Christmas being stolen from the good people of Whoville here…it's been would-be goals off the sticks of opposing skaters.
Pavelec has been a major factor in the Thrashers recent success. In stopping 45 of 46 shots Saturday in the nation's capital he has upped is overall numbers to 8-5-2 with a 1.70 GAA, .948 SV% and a pair of shutouts. Opie has done a great job in fine-tuning his game, is controlling his rebounds better, has improved his pipe-to-pipe movement and is staying vertical more… instead of falling down like Charley Brown's Christmas tree when an ornament is place on it.
But the Thrashers goalie is also quick to credit the players in front of him. "Our guys did a great job", Pavelec insists. "I always saw the first shot and they cleared the rebound, so it was a great team effort".
Atlanta has three players already with 20 or more points…Dustin Byfuglien with 10 goals and 18 assists, Andrew Ladd with 9 goals and 18 assists as well as Toby Enstrom who has 3 goals and 18 assists.
Right behind them is Rich Peverley with 7 goals and 11 assists for 18 points…Nic Bergfors with 6 goals and 11 assists for 17 points…Evander Kane with 9 goals and 7 assists for 16 points…Anthony Stewart with 7 goals and 8 assists for 15 points and Nik Antropov with 7 goals and 7 assists for 14 points.
That is what we were looking for when it comes to the balanced scoring concept offensive play.
Combine that type of offense with adequate…sometimes even very good…defensive play and solid, dependable goaltending and what you have is the recipe for winning hockey. And that's just what we've been seeing from this Thrashers team during this holiday season so far.
If they can continue this on a consistent basis… and there's no reason to believe they can't… then the Thrashers just may be able to give their fans the gift they've been wanting for so many years now.
And that Christmas wish is to be able to watch this great play and winning hockey beyond game number 82 next spring.

"Some of that chatter will concern the Phoenix Coyotes. Prospective owner Matthew Hulsizer is expected to show up and explain his plans to the governors' executive committee, although an official sale is still not in sight.
Also sure to be part of the unofficial discussions among the governors are the Atlanta Thrashers, St. Louis Blues, Dallas Stars, Carolina Hurricanes, Nashville Predators, Buffalo Sabres and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Thrashers are a candidate, along with the Coyotes, to move to either Winnipeg or Quebec. Bruce Levenson, Michael Gearon Sr., and Michael Gearon Jr., the main players in the ownership group, are not happy about all the money they are losing on the team.
Among those who populate the governors' set, the talk is that the Thrashers are headed for Quebec City, if the former NHL town can pull in enough government and private money for a new arena. Winnipeg is also in the mix, though, and if Hulsizer really does buy the Coyotes, the western Canadian city could shoulder aside Quebec and land the Thrashers.
Word is that Levenson and the Gearons have mused in the past about applying to their fellow governors for permission to relocate. Even NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said publicly in recent days that the Thrashers could move."

Great game the other night, what I caught of it. I loved seeing Slater jump right in and take care of that Cap and then the boys pot the quick goal. It's so nice to finally have a real hockey club.
I don't know about this chatter. I can discount the idle Canadian rag speculation, but didn't Bill Daly just say something about Atlanta being in trouble? And we saw Waddell with the pathetic handwritten plea and he also said "we're going to try to make it work here". We know the ownership situation and that they'd love to sell. There's a lot of smoke here, fellas.

Alan R,
Actually, I don't read Chris's blog, or the blog of anyone else who works directly for the left-wing AJC. Was you rudeness to others really necessary, Alan?

Why is it that when we have a little bit of success on the ice, we have to be distracted by all this relocation talk? Only made more punditable by Bill Daly's efforts to pacify the Canadian market. (and also scarier that he made them in the first place, since he is a league spokesperson). ASG won't commit in public to anything, except via DW mouthpiece and we all know how good his word is. Its this more than anything that hampers our ability to resign star players, regardless of how tied in the arena branding deal is and the prospect of empty dates at the Bulb. If you look at historical record, good hockey will draw fans in. I find it more shocking that the Hawks, in this market continue to have trouble drawing despite playoff appearances and winning records the last few years, especially considering the NBA demographic.
Hoping to see Toby and Kaner back on the ice tonight.Prospect of hockey without Toby is downright frightening. He's such a stabilizing influence on the D

Our winning ways and rears in the seats are the best solution to putting the moving rumors to rest. Go Thrashers!
December 6th, 2010
1:23 pm
Metro Atlanta – population 5.5 million
Metro Quebec City – 750,000
Philips Arena – built 1999, capacity 18,545
Le Colisee – built 1949, capacity 15,176
Major Corporations based in Atlanta – Delta. Coke, Home Depot, UPS, Turner, Equifax, Holiday Inn, Georgia Pacific, SunTrust and Rubbermaid.
Major Corporations based in Quebec City – Quebecaire Express, Dupont Industries and Telops.
The Nordiques moved because a small city could not operate in the NHL back in 1995. Its only gotten more expensive since. Ticket sales may do well, but that is such a small part of the entire picture. A market of that size – even though they are passionate about their hockey – is best suited to the AHL.
December 6th, 2010
1:27 pm
Over/under on attendance tonight? Not tickets distributed, but butts in the seats. I'd put it at 5,500 . . . what say you?
If this play continues, we'll start to see 15k+ on weekends, but weeknights will continue to struggle due to the inane 7pm starts and the lousy location of the arena, but they'll do better on weeknights in the 2nd half, mabye more like 10k on weeknights in the 2nd half.

Not tickets distributed, but butts in the seats. I'd put it at 5,500 . . . what say you?
Over. Nashville has a couple busloads of people coming, and there was a coupon in the sports section last week for tickets to this game.
I'll put us at about 10k tonight.
Agree that the start times need to be changed to 7:30pm. That'll solve the complaints about the arena location, too.
December 6th, 2010
2:19 pm
Anyone who lets themselves be panicked by relocation rumors, or worse yet, "sage" prognosticators of doom, it could be a lot worse, A LOT.
To wit, from Larry Brooks, the only reliable news source in the NY Post?
"Bettman always talks about the league's commitment to its current markets except when he talks about the Islanders, and then he talks about the commitment to Wang. It's troubling there is no sense of NHL commitment to Long Island, no sense of NHL commitment to the fan base Bettman himself was once a part of back in the glory days that have passed the franchise by."
The league props up Phoenix, it'll prop up Dallas and the league will stand behind franchises in Sunrise, Fla.; Tampa and Atlanta, but in this case the league seems to stand behind Wang and not the Islanders. Memo to Bettman: One should not be confused with the other."
Just count your lucky stars you live in a place that is still growing and expanding its populace's diversity. There are plenty more hockey fans here in ATL, we just need to lure them in or win them back.
Capt Ladd, Lt. Big Buff, Brigadier Genl Ramsay and Major Genl Dudley will see to it the latter half of that equation is executed. As for the former part, oh dear heavens…perhaps they'll hire Alan (;-)) and get us on our merry way!!
December 6th, 2010
2:24 pm
I"ll be there tonight, but will likely be disappointed with a sparse crowd. A Monday game vs. Pittsburgh, Buffalo, or Detroit would equate to >10k, I'm not sure about Nashville, though. Though I'm a season tix holder, I'd still prefer ASG give away tickets to get butts in the seats rather than sit in an empty arena.
December 6th, 2010
2:26 pm
They ought to. I could use a better job, and the Thrashers could actually use someone who gives a damn about the team to market 'em. It's win-win!
December 6th, 2010
2:28 pm
Oh yeah, Larry Brooks also took this little shot at you know who!!
"Can we just make it perfectly clear that despite all the excuses in the world being there for Ilya Kovalchuk within the Devils' suddenly dysfunctional operation, there is no excuse in the world for his performance thus far, none whatsoever?"

I gave up listening to most of the national sports media outlets a long time ago. They are looking to sell advertising space folks and they will do anything to get you to listen and/or buy their publications. That's not just abut hockey folks, it is about ever sport, business, national or international news story.

Smoothie, unfortunately Larry Brooks is the American equivalent of Bruce Garrioch. If he says something, you can pretty much bet on the opposite being the actual case.

2:37 pm
Looking for another great effort tonight as the Thrashers pound the Preds 5-2. I know it's the first game back from a road trip and it's almost a Thrashers tradition to do poorly, but I think they come out of the locker room jumping and put some Nashville players into the boards.
Establish a strong physical presence early guys, then do your thing.
Oh yeah, and the Thrashers are going nowhere but Playoff City. So take those bogus stories and hit the road.
December 6th, 2010
2:41 pm
No worries, Smoothie! You can be my right hand man! Together, we will make the Thrashers a household name in not just this city, but this state and adjacent states! A baby born to a migrant couple in the middle of Jackson, MS will utter his first words: Atlanta Thrashers.
Glorious days ahead!
December 6th, 2010
2:46 pm
Instead of y'all wasting your time complainig about the empty seats in Philips, get on ticket master, buy a ticket or two and get down there and support the team! Or call Karin as Rawhide suggests, I bet he doesn't even get a kickback. So stop making excuses why you supposedly can't go. I'm ready for a frosty 40 ouncer!
Just do it! Does Nike make ice skates?

Nashville always plays us hard. Let us hope this new Ramsay-directed Ladd-led group breaks w/ tradition and matches or betters the Preds effort.

C'mon y'all – we got a newbie. No sense in attacking if she doesn't know the protocol here yet.
The first time I jumped on Brian jumped down my throat for something dumb (that was his MO) – let's cut some slack and give her the benefit of the doubt. If she ends up being a POI ala Sage or Stendec, I'll lead the charge.
Go Thrashers.
Sara – AWESOME link on FB. Sa-WEEET move!
December 6th, 2010
3:43 pm
This game tonite will not be easy. I fully expect Nashville's forwards to aggressively attack out D-men at the point and try to disrupt our offense, especially Big Buff. It is imperative that our forwards are willing to pay a price down low to win battles in the corners and along the boards to create chances. It's a good thing Kane is back and our lines are intact again for total effectiveness. Assuming we aren't sluggish and come out with lots of "jam", I see us winning 3 to 2 or 4 to 2 with an EN.
Alan – love it. Blueland Babies from here to the Mississip!!

Tonight is a very difficult night for the Thrashers for several reasons, IMO.
1) Thrashers are coming off two games against "top-flight" Eastern Conference squads, and a "big" win over Washington
2) There is no anger, animosity or much history between the two teams, except for those former Blackhawks who played against the Preds 12 times last season in the reg. season and playoffs, and that might serve as ammunition on the other side?
3) As several have pointed out, it's a Monday night game and the crowd likely will be "light". Historically, Monday night has never been a hockey night in Atlanta (I know, what weeknight has?), and Atlanta had just 4 home games on non-holiday Mondays since 2007-08 season.

4) When Nashville is riding a three-game win streak, and attempting to extend it to four, they are 18-10-5 since the beginning of the 2005-06 season, although just 5-9-5 in the last 19 situations. I guess that means: expect a battle from them tonight.

Kracker and Rawhide, Nike used to make hockey skates, very good ones even. They purchased Bauer years back but divested themselves from that venture over a year ago. The Nike name and American company was not taken to kindly by are Canadian friends infringing upon the Canadian Bauer brand even though they were separate at the beginning. When the Nike hockey brand was not moving as well as liked they merged the two names Nike Bauer. This is the first year that you now see only Bauer on hockey equipment. Nike brought a ton of know-how to equipment development which can be seen in the gorgeous Bauer One90 skates And, $800 expensive.
Funny that our Canadian friends have not been as dismissive about European owned Reebok purchasing CCM, Koho, Heaton, and Jofa.

Say…what ever happened to "Sheeple Boy"?? It's been awfully, awfully quiet from the "nattering nabob of negativism" on this site for several weeks. It's a beautiful thing when the trolls have got to eat crow isn't it?
As for tonight, I agree that this is a potential trap game. I hope to see the same energy and solid hockey that we've seen on the road trip.

Cornbread – never was a fan of the Nike skate. They have the same "one size fits all" mentality that permeates their shoe line. The boot is too thin, not enough instep support and the heel sits way too high. I'll gladly keep nursing every last second out of my 6 year old Bauer Supreme 2000's.

Not sure why there seems to be so much derision over the Preds…a team that had 47 wins and 100 points last year.

Matt – You stole my thunder. It's so pleasant on the blog without the antagonism for such a Debbie Downer (caught that SNL skit a couple weeks back and my wife and I were rolling…but I digress). I guess it's simply too hard to come up with original material versus just executing the copy/paste function over and over.
Dwayne – I 2nd the notion of VH's "Black and Blue". Reminds me of some great times back in the day…
Great news to see Kane and Enstrom back in the lineup. And while I agree that the Preds will be a difficult game, they all are. Even the Islanders almost stole one yesterday from the Flyers….the Oilers have won 4 in a row.
Also, I think we need to recognize that Rich Peverly might just be the most improved player on the ice over the last 10 games (excluding Pavlec). I don't know what the pep talk from the staff was, but message received. I don't remember Rich battling so hard in the corners earlier in the year and it's direcly translated into production on the score sheet too. He's Peverly-where again during this run. Great to see.

The main draw of this quaint, historic hotel is its downtown location, within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and tourist attractions. Rooms have old tube TVs and some are on the small side, but they're clean and have some nice upscale touches: Tempur-Pedic beds with quality linens and romantic white canopies, iPod docks, and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries. It's still a mid-range hotel at heart, and most of the decor reflects that, but it's got a bit more charm than some competing properties in the area. All in all, it's a solid downtown pick for the price.
This 150-room hotel is a solid value, located right on Temple Square and within walking distance of numerous attractions. The rooms are bland and utilitarian, but big, with microwaves and mini-fridges that help guests save money on food, as well as flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. The decent outdoor pool and kid-friendly diner make it a fine choice for families, and its proximity to the convention center makes it popular with business travelers as well.
Are we missing a hotel you love? We are busy adding more hotels to Oyster every day. In fact, in this year alone we have added over 2,000 new hotels.
Because we visit each hotel personally, it's not an overnight process - but the results are worth it.
Email us your favorite hotels, and we will visit them ASAP.

Will is riding his bike down Main Street. Sean stops him on his bike. "You kicked ass," Will says. "Long time comin'," Sean nods. Sean asks what it's like on the inside. "Rawley? Pretty intimidating." Sean asks why he wouldn't tell him. Will says that he figures one morning someone will figure out that he's "faking it." Oh, you mean like last week, Will? When everyone found out you faked it? He says that he didn't want everyone to see him fail. "Will! You're not going to fail. You got a scholarship. You're the smartest freaking guy I know. You're gonna own that place!" Ooh. I want a t-shirt that says "Smartest Freaking Guy." Will and Sean then go into the longest game of "Remember when" I've ever seen. Sean: "Remember when we were kids? [Um...like, last year? You're fifteen!] You had this way of looking at things. You make anything seem possible. I never told you this, but, because you were gonna be somebody? Made me feel that I was gonna be somebody too." Will: "Remember we'd hang out in the woods and get chased around by the Rawley groundskeeper guy?" Sean: "Was that guy a freak, or what? Oh, man." They sigh. Will: "Those were some good times." Okay, quick break here so we can all laugh at that line. Now, we're going back in. Will: "Remember that girl, Coralee, from elementary school?" As they walk off talking about how Coralee was asking about Will (Sean has now developed a Southern accent), Bella walks out of the gas station to look on approvingly at them. They kick each other, and run each other's bikes into their legs.
Time for Will's final thought. We watch Bella, Scout and Will sit at a table at Friendly's. They are, of course, the only people there. They eat ice cream sundaes because that's all you did on Sundays in 1957. "I wonder. If one day when you look back on your life, you'll see it's not always about the big picture. It's really all about the moments. And maybe one day you'll think back and you'll string all those moments together and then you'll realize when you add them all up? Your life is more meaningful than you could have dreamed." Daniel Stern calls me up and demands to know who stole the trashcan from The Wonder Years. "We called it 'shit' for a reason, Pamie," he growls. Pan back to the three kids flinging ice cream at each other as we fade to black. I wish all three of them would just start dating. It would make things easier.
Next week: Bella declares that she and Scout can't see each other anymore. That's because she's mugging on some Sean. "What are you, her brother?" Sean yells in Scout's ear. Hee. Minority alert! They let an Asian girl on the set! She tells Scout she wants to lose her virginity to him. She's twenty-nine years old. She then shoves her tongue down his mouth as the announcer says the words "Coca-Cola." For some reason, after two weeks of this show, whenever someone asks if I want a Coke, I get horny and then filled with shame. I'm a dirty, dirty girl.

Beyonce brought some female spirit to the football stage in a dance-heavy, 13-minute performance at the Super Bowl.
She sang live, too, with her background singers helping as the pop star danced around the stage.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Celebrity Hair Transformations
She emerged onstage singing some of "Love on Top," transitioning to her hit "Crazy In Love" in an all-black ensemble. She ripped off part of her shirt and skirt as she danced hard with background dancers doing the same.
Her Destiny's Child band mates joined her for their hits "Bootylicious" and "Independent Woman," but Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams were barely heard. They also jumped in for some of "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)," where Beyonce's voice got better.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Girl Groups: Then & Now
She sounded best on "Halo," which she belted on bended knee.

Four more years? Yes, please.
Four more years? Yes, please.
Rep. John Lewis was a Freedom Rider over 50 years ago. He reminds us of where we've come from and cannot ever go back to.
This comedian has a knack for seeing through the political bullsh*t.
Watch this 3-minute clip and see if you agree.
Just don't expect him to show "you people" what he's hiding in his tax returns.
When you look at it this way, you can see how scary this really is.
Two minutes of pure WTF?! Look for the smirk starting at 0:27. And at 0:37. And again at 1:10 . . . Watch:
And shouldn't Mitt Romney stand up if Latinos are being discriminated against?
Are you next?
Effective, though!

How to Make It to the Promised Land
A short story explores what happens when a camp game goes horribly awry
"What do you have?"
I turn. "Excuse me?"
He is pale and rail-thin. Sam, if I remember right. A really good tennis player who practices all day long. You can hear the thwack, catch the gleam of the moving ball, as you leave the dining hall in the falling darkness. Secretly I like him for that, for the way he avoids everyone and everything for the only thing he cares about.
"Hi," I say, smiling at him now.
"Hello." His amber eyes slide over the surface of my face. His oxford shirt, the kind everyone else saves for Shabbat, is tucked neatly into his khakis, and his topsiders are polished bright. He reaches out, brushes his hand against my cheek.
"Hey!" My hands fly up.
"What do you want for the earrings?"
"Nothing," I say, touching the small braided hoops that I'd forgotten I was wearing. They were my grandmother's—my father's mother's—and except for a dark blue fraternity tie that my mother used to hang on our refrigerator door as a joke, the earrings are the only things I have from my father's side of the family. I step back, almost trip over a wicker basket.
He grabs my elbow. "Watch yourself," he says.
"I'm just fine," I say.
Behind him, a girl with legs like a stork hands over a box of Jujubes; a freckled boy readjusts his Dodgers cap and screams, "Two hours! We've got two hours to get out of here!"
"I could get you to America in no time with those," he says, his eyes on my ears.
"We are in America," I say.
"Right," he says, smiling. "Right." And then, "Do we have a trade or not?"
"I can't sell the earrings," I explain.
"Fine," he says, annoyed, and begins scanning the crowd for the next prospect.
"Sam—" I blurt out his name and touch his sleeve; I'm that desperate. "There's got to be something else you'd want."
"From you?" He raises his eyebrows, looking me up and down.
I flush, embarrassed. Who is he to do this to me? Who are any of these people? I look down at his diver's watch; the digits glow 2:38 p.m. I want out so badly. I feel as if I'm peering over the edge of a cliff when I say, "What if I have information on a fugitive?"
"Look around you," he says, looking bored. "They're everywhere."
"It's Kron." I say it and wind whistles in my ears. "I know where you can find her."
"Kron from Lamu?" He says it quickly, almost laughing. "Now that's a different story."
I nod, tired.
"Where is she?"
"Visa first," I say.
This time, when I cut through no-man's-land, through the stand of eucalyptus trees where the ground is freckled by shadows, I walk more slowly. I feel a little sick, but I tell myself that Kron is fine, that she never showed up to the canteen, that she is worlds away.
"We've made it," I say to Anya, and I'm surprised to hear my voice out loud. I pass the creek, which is little more than a trickle. The rocks lie gleaming: dry, white, and smooth as calcified bones. A lizard skitters from one to another. Its head is enormous and ugly, weighted down by a spiky, prehistoric-looking crown. I stop as it leaps closer to me, its tail wiping the rock. It is more graceful than anything I've ever seen. I lean over, holding my finger out. The lizard's body goes rigid. Except for the slight quiver of skin hanging beneath its chin, you wouldn't know it's alive. I think: I could hurt it, if I wanted to. I could.
"Hello, Mr. Lizard," I say, softly. "I won't hurt you."
I jump, and the lizard darts off. Jesse is behind me. He is perched on a rock, his tanned legs dangling down, bare soles of his feet flashing.
For a moment, neither of us says a word. Finally, he speaks. "You crossing?"
I take a step back. "Where's Jill?"
He jerks his head around. "Around. Somewhere." He hops off the rock, takes a step toward me. The air shifts—it becomes heavier somehow—but I don't look away. "I haven't seen her in a while. Everyone seems to be disappearing. Where's your freaky double Kron?"
"Around," I say carefully.
He nods, moves even closer. "What about your papers?" He asks this easily, smiling. But before I can stop him, he reaches around me and pulls my ID and visa out of my back pocket.
He backs away, laughing and shaking his head. He lets out a low whistle. "This is funny, you know. You and I."
"Just—well, you are my wife."
I stare. "Your wife?"
He pulls a green square out of his back pocket. "Moishe," he reads. "I'm Moishe Ossevsheva. You're Anya."
He's not asking me. He's telling. He can't do that. I don't care if it's just a game. I feel a force pressing down against my temples. He has no right to me. He has no right to Anya.
"I heard we got a divorce."
"Really?" He folds his arms and looks down at my chest with a little smile as if my body is telling him something else. "Why would we want that? If we're married, I can help you get across. I hear you'll do lots of things to get across." Still smiling, he puts my visa and ID in his back pocket. "Why are you shaking, Anya?" He moves his mouth close to mine.
"Don't touch me," I hear myself say. "Don't you dare."
"Oh, please," he says. "As if this isn't what you've wanted all along."
And his lips are on mine and he's right but oh so wrong and I feel both small and large, beautiful and grotesque, so unlike myself that I'm not sure I'm even there. He pulls me down to the rocky ground and wraps his legs around mine. And I don't want to think about Kron and Anya, but they're all I see. I'm horrible and I'll do anything and his elbow is digging into my ribs and his hands are everywhere and mine are too. It's probably only seconds but it feels like centuries later when we both hear it—a sharp noise, a crackling somewhere in the distance.
"Shit," he says. He twists around fast and scrambles to his feet. "Where did that come from?"
I get up too, pulling my shirt back down. "Jill?" He scans the wall of trees, brushing his fingers through his hair.
"It's not her," I say. Somehow, I manage to reach over, grab the papers fanning out of his pocket.
"What are you doing?" Jesse twists around, blinking—his eyes are strangely lidded, thin and opaque—just like the lizard's.
"You don't even have a visa, Jew. This isn't going to get you far." My voice trembles. I feel an unbearable urge to pee. "You thought you were going to touch me? You and your dirty Jewish ways?"
I'm shivering as I rip up his ID, letting the pieces fall through my fingers like glitter. "Jew," I practically coo. "Now why would I ever have married a Jew like you?"
"Fuck you."
"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Jesse gives me a withering look and turns and lumbers away.
Now I'm shivering even more. I feel my way over to a boulder still warm with sun and I flatten my hands against it. I look at my own ID one last time, at that face, those eyes, so familiar, staring back at me, and I am dizzy with recognition. Carefully, I tear the green slip of paper apart. Anya's face becomes speckles on the rocks in the drying creek. I stand there for what feels like an eternity, but as much as I wish it were otherwise, the speckles remain; there isn't enough of the stream to carry them away.

TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies, Toronto Blue Jays
A still leaking bullpen lets down the offense as the Phils are defeated by the Blue Jays, 11-6. The Phils got on the scoreboard first in the first inning as, with a runner on second, and with one man out, Michael Young hits an RBI double, scoring Kevin Frandsen, who had just doubled, giving the Phils a 1-0 lead. The Phils then took a 3-0 lead as Ryan Howard hits a two-run blast, his second home run of the spring, knocking in Young. The Blue Jays cut the Phils' lead in their half of the first as, with a runner on second, and with one man out, Melky Cabrera hits an RBI double, scoring Jose Reyes, who had started the inning off with a double, making it a 3-1 Phils' lead. The Blue Jays then made it a 3-2 Phils' lead as Edwin Encarnacion followed with an RBI single, scoring Cabrera. The Blue Jays then tied the game up at one-all in the second as, with two men out, Emilio Bonifacio hits a solo home run, his first home run of the spring. The Phils retook the lead in the fourth as, with one...

If those values are evenly spaced between 0 and 1, you'll get the result you desire. Example: #~~~~~ import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt n_lines = 10 x = np.linspace(0, 10) phase_shift = np.linspace(0, np.pi, n_lines) color_idx = np.linspace(0, 1, n_lines) for i, shift in zip(color_idx, phase_shift): plt.plot(x, np.sin(x - shift), color=plt.cm.jet(i)) plt.show() #~~~~~ Coincidentally, this past weekend, I started wrapping up random code like this into a utility package. See `cycle_cmap` in this package: https://github.com/tonysyu/mpltools/blob/master/mpltools/color.py. The package is still in the early stages, and function names could easily change, so use with caution. Best, -Tony

2014 Turkish Foreign Policy Alternatives
2014 Turkish Foreign Policy Alternatives a previous article that I "U.S. regressive POWER (Really?)" Spell the end of the closing sentence, he had completed; "in the United States said we mentioned schools Referring to an American clique that we see. Mentioned schools perspective and the weight of the world or looking behind the scenes of the operations in Turkey can be analyzed. In later times, particularly the future of the Middle East and Turkey, predictably I believe. "
2014 Turkish Foreign Policy Alternatives "in spelling out the alternatives depending on this concept will continue. Alternative comes not belong to me! American think tank Rand permanent political adviser, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to get the old National News Council's vice president, author, U.S. government officials. Published at the beginning of 2002, "the new Republic of Turkey-emerging regional actors" in his book about Turkey's domestic and foreign policies in place and has made interesting observations. Fuller analysis of Ankara, at some point in the future probably choose one of the three enveloping alternative foreign policy that was envisaged.
• The main priority of the United States and geopolitical relations will give to a Washington-based foreign policy,
• primacy of EU membership based on the Euro-centric foreign policy
• Overview and independence of action that emphasizes the other powers, including a wide range of cooperation and strategic interactions that stabilize and a strong bond of Europe and the Middle East, the Ankara-based foreign policy.
Fuller, Turkey in three-point alternative policy "based on the primacy of EU foreign policy, European-centered" two alternative foreign policy of the AKP government in 11 years the transition from theory to practice in administering lived. Fuller in the book briefly has made a statement: "In Turkey, essentially direction toward Europe has turned a new strategic orientation, the following conditions most of the absent will require:
* Turkey's European Union integration in the direction of a gradual progression to continue.
* Member of the value of obtaining an award, to be the evolution of the European Union appears to maintain an overall success.
* Anti-EU forces in Turkish politics seriously weakened. * Turkey's European Union can meet the needs of high-level economic and military.
* The European Union and Turkey in the Middle East to play active roles gladly meet. "Fuller, EU-related policy alternative for Turkey ahead if 'it's Washington-Ankara between the yield and disadvantages in the following ways commented. "Although Turkish interest firmly towards Europe shift, with Washington in certain areas to establish good relations that exclude, the Turkey's European Union with a solid relationship if within the United States relations with the rear seats contented will have to be." Fuller's, which underlines the important point, "the European Union to play an active role of Turkey in the Middle East is welcomed." What are the chances? Weather is a fact that Turkey's foreign policy has never determine domestic policy. Always Foreign Policy 'has been shaped by the global changes. Each government's foreign policy has been changing. Briefly, the following changes in the internal policies of the European Union that are not completed correctly, when read as a reflection of political and economic unity began to develop individual policies. Current events were followed when determining active in the politics of England, Turkey and Middle East in preparation for an infrastructure that will appear.

The Land Cruiser 100 represents the culmination of 50 years of building 4x4s. Today, the Land Cruiser has evolved from a serious Jeep type 4x4 into the ultimate luxury all wheel drive sport utility vehicle. While it is considered by most as far more of an upscale luxury sport utility, than the down in the dirt rough and ready 4x4 that is it's roots, Toyota still managed to maintain it's incredible off road durability, while making this model the most highway friendly Land Cruiser yet.
In January of 1998, the Land Cruiser 100 series was born to most of the world. (A few countries, most notably in South America, would retain old 80 series.) By this time, the Land Cruiser had earned a strong reputation worldwide for its high performance on difficult terrain as well as for its maneuverability and durability, but the evolution from bare bones hardcore off road utility vehicle to all wheel drive luxury was well underway.
With the development of the Land Cruiser 100, Toyota created a prestige 4WD with significantly improved on-road performance, while sacrificing a bit of its traditional off-road abilities. With double wishbone IFS front suspension and rack and pinion steering, the Land Cruiser 100 was designed to feel more like a passenger car than its heavy-duty predecessors. To further improve comfort and steering stability, hydraulic vehicle height adjustment and dynamic suspension control were added as options, aiming at improved performance on paved roads. The interior was luxurious, with air-conditioning and high-end audio, and an optional DVD navigation system and full leather interior standard in many models.
In December of 1998, the Japanese market Cygnus was released for export to the US. Styled just like the LX470, this model was positioned as the luxury class Land Cruiser 100, more prestigious than the LC100 itself.
Though the Land Cruiser 100 continues to evolve into a passenger car, there are still users overseas who drive it off-road. To meet these needs, such as in Australia and other rugged environments, Toyota has created a Land Cruiser 105-series with a solid front axle and coil springs in the suspension. While officially the 105 series, it's often referred to as simply the base model 100 series or the 100 series GX. Toyota essentially placed the new 100 series and interior onto an older 80 series frame and suspension. The differences between the base solid axle 100 and most expensive luxury version is stark. The 105 Land Cruiser can be had with manual locking hubs, a manual transmission and part time transfer case, in addition to the solid front axle and front and rear locking diffs.
In the luxury IFS version, the transfer lever extending from the center console is about the only thing that tells you this Land Cruiser is a 4x4 and not a passenger car. It has more luxury features than its predecessor 80-series, including an optional DVD navigation system with EMV (Electro Multi Vision) in the center panel and a top-flight audio system. The upper grade has an option for genuine leather seats. The 100-series does not have over fenders, but the wide body means more space on the inside as well.
Even though a solid axle can still be had, this model, makes it clear that this flagship Land Cruiser has reached the end of it's serious off road roots. With IFS and lower ground clearance, this generation just cannot compete with the older generation Land cruisers when it comes to serious off road ability. However, Toyota does retain 4 wheel drive and low range as well as an optional rear locker. (The front locker of the prior 80 series, appears to no longer be available on IFS models.) And the extreme durability that Toyota Land Cruiser owners expect, is still present in this latest model.
However, if one considers that the Land Cruiser 100 is the flag ship of all Toyotas, the absolute top of the line and must represent the ultimate in luxury, performance and status, then it is understandable that Toyota chose the design path they did. And in doing so, they still retained as much off road ability as was practice.
After all, Toyota still has the long running Land Cruiser 70 series to fall back on as the true off road successor and continuer of the tradition first set about by the original Land Cruiser. Today the Land 100 and 70 series represents the best of all worlds. The ultimate in luxury and prestige and the ultimate in off road utility.

Miss plane flight - dream analysis
THE DREAM I keep having this reoccurring dream where I am in an airport, and I am constantly worried about missing my flight. I get sent from counter to counter, then get lost, then end up somewhere totally different always worrying that I'm going to be late. The last one I had, I was at the counter, then they sent me to immigration, then to buy the ticket, then to return the rent car. Eventually I wanted to draw cash from the ATM machine, and my credit card was made out of cupboard and was wet. Its a variation of the dream, different airports, different situations.
THE REALITY The dreams often occur when the dreamer is about to go on a journey. This time he was stuck waiting for a visa.
DREAM ANALYSIS Dreams which take place in railway stations or airports may link to real journeys. So if you are dealing with problems in real life with a journey or you are having to plan for travel arrangements then that's simply the meaning. The dream reflects your real life. Its vitally important to get such arrangements correct.

Lee Brice has scored the biggest hit of his career so far with "A Woman Like You." It comes on the heels of his first ACM Award win for co-writing the Eli Young Band hit "Crazy Girl" earlier this month. So, what's the secret to all this success?
"It's about work and patience," Lee explains. "You just keep working, you keep being patient, and then things like this just start happening, and it's cool."
"A Woman Like You" is the lead single from Lee's sophomore album, Hard 2 Love, due out April 24. Fans who listen to the record will hear a wide range of sounds beyond the laid-back feel of Lee's latest hit.
He says, "I'm a versatile music person, and all of that comes out in the whole album. There's not two songs on the album that sound anything alike."
Lee adds that the album chronicles the last year of his life, which includes his engagement to his girlfriend Sara earlier this year. They have a three-year-old son named Takoda together.

It was still broad daylight, but great clouds of smoke generated by the massive forest fires in Yellowstone Park were rolling in and robbing the whole landscape of its color, leaving only shades of gray.
As I watched the smoke drifting across the sky, I heard the sound of an approaching airplane, and an old refitted transport appeared through the clouds, on its way from the Greybull airport with a load of slurry to drop on a fire burning in the Cloud Peak Wilderness.
As the plane passed overhead, the roar of the propeller-driven old airplane, its low altitude, the clouds of smoke and the nearly colorless atmosphere altered my perception, and I felt as though I had been teleported into a scene from a black-and-white World War II movie. For a few minutes I imagined myself in a war zone, watching a bomber on its way to drop a load.
In a way, I was in a war zone, and the battles against the fires were only part of that war. Political fights about who was to blame for the situation were also raging around me during that long hot summer.
Those memories have faded in the quarter-century since that summer, when it seemed as though the fires would never end, but Gib Mathers' recent series of Tribune articles recalling that time have revived them.
The smoky skies are a vivid memory, especially those of a Friday when I stepped out of the old Greybull High School into an eerie green glow hanging over the town in the late afternoon. Another memory is the parade of fire-fighting equipment from all over the West that I watched while eating my lunch in the teachers' lounge one day.
I remember the nightly news reports on the progress of the fires and the difficulties of the firefighters, some of whom I knew personally. A particular remembrance is the despair in the voices of firefighters interviewed after they had pulled out of Old Faithful at the last possible moment, distraught because they thought they had lost the beautiful old inn to the flames.
I remember the political firestorm that erupted as the fires raged. I remember hundreds of letters to editors decrying the failure of the government to just put the fires out, letters from writers who appeared to believe extinguishing the fires was as simple as blowing out a birthday candle, and the heavy criticism dumped on the National Park Service for "allowing" the fires to happen in the first place.
I remember politicians posing in front of burning trees and pontificating about the failures of the Park Service, and I remember calls for an investigation to determine who should be fired for not predicting a situation that no one had ever anticipated.
I remember the lamentations of those who were certain that Yellowstone was being destroyed, and nobody would ever come there again. In particular, I remember a national newscast focusing on a group of people heading down the walkway to watch Old Faithful erupt "one last time," as if the old geyser was going to succumb to the flames along with all the trees.
On the flip side, I also remember visiting the park that fall, and being pleasantly surprised at what I saw. There were large areas of burned trees, to be sure, but there was nothing like total destruction. The climb over Dunraven Pass still offered breathtaking views, wildlife still grazed in Swan Valley and Old Faithful Inn still stood, ready to serve visitors lunch and ice cream while they waited to watch the old geyser do its thing, un-scorched by the flames.
In the end, most people realized that the fires, as bad as they were, were not a disaster, but part of the life of a living, breathing forest, which, given time, would heal itself. There was hardy a ripple in visitation numbers. Visitation continued to increase each year since 1988, and those visitors watched as wildflowers bloomed among charred logs and thousands of young lodgepole pines sprang up to fill the gaps in the forest.
Yellowstone survived.
Today, though, other issues bring political conflict to the park. The most serious of these is the question of maintaining the park's infrastructure in an era of reduced government spending. Failure to deal with those needs might require limits on access due to health and safety issues and reduce visitation to the park to the detriment of Park County.
Unlike the fire damage, these problems can't be fixed by Mother Nature. We'll have to do it ourselves through that process known as politics.

Each city has its own advantages.
Having worked in startups in the Bay Area, Los Angeles and now as a consultant to startups globally, each is unique.
NYC is finding its stride. Due to a large part to the work of people like Fred Wilson (www.avc.com) and Chris Dixon (www.cdixon.org) and other seed and venture funds, great startups are finding support in the city from funds that are focused on investing here in NYC.
As well, with an emphasis on local and geo-based applications like FourSquare, NYC (and London as well) are the best urban, densely populated and computer savvy cities to build a community around applications in this segment.
Thanks for bringing attention to NYC...I was born and raised here and after working on the coast for decades, I've moved back here to focus on start-ups and tech innovation here in NY. That would not have been possible 10 years ago.

Shudra is the fourth Varna, as prescribed in the Purusha Sukta of the Rig veda, which constitutes society into four varnas or Chaturvarna. The other three varnas are Brahmins (priests); Kshatriya (those with governing functions), and Vaishya (agriculturalists, cattle rearers and traders). According to this ancient text, the Shudra perform functions of serving the other three varna. The varna system became rigid in the later. In modern Indian society, the government is taking steps to end the differences between various castes.[1]

This is Javelin's wyvern. Ive wanted to design a wyvern for the character for many years, but was never pleased with a design. Once i doodled this dragon in my sketchbook, i thought i had finally nailed it. Im nicknaming it Guavern, as its color pattern was inspired by the Guava Skipper butterfly.

Awesome piece of art the dragon looks really detailed but the pic should be bigger this is kinda small

It's a great sketch!
I didn't even notice the silhouette before hand until I had read your comment about it. The tail had looked flat to me as it was, lol. At first I had thought about whether or not it would be too heavy, but it looks like something that would be a low-flyer. I'm not trying to pick it apart, just commenting on how it came across to me.
Just wanted to make a comment, in the stance that he has, he looks like a road runner, did you kind of base his construction off of that? This was one of those great-to-see-in-Full-Size sketches. Love it.

I feel bad for ruining your 10, but...
This is a great piece of art, and that's not the problem I have with the picture. What really bothers me is the langth and thickness of the tail. The tail seems like it would weigh about as much, if not more than the front half, which would unbalance flying a lot...
If you look at the silhouette for it in the corner, it has a paddle-like flat tail.
