Mr. SAYRE desired to enter a protest against the passage of the bill. This session there has already been created two additional Circuit, Courts, and there may yet be other applications more deserving than the Counties of Clinton and Boone. He read a list of nearly twenty Counties having about as large or larger population than either the Counties affected by this bill having no more Court facilities. From an inspection of the docket of Boone County he had come to the: conclusion the measure is not absolutely needed. For these and other considerations he hoped this bill will not pass.
The bill passed the Senate by yeas, 29; nays, 10.
On motion by Mr. RISTINE his bill [S. 170] to fix Court terms in the Twenty-second Judicial Circuit-Parke and Montgomery Counties-was read the third time and passed by yeas, 44; nays, 0.
By consent, Mr. SMITH, of Jay, introduced ft bill [S. 280] to amend Section of an act dividing^ the State into Counties and concerning the boundaries of Counties bordering on the Wabash and Ohio Rivers, being Section 4,204 of the Revised page: 207[View Page 207] Statutes of 1881-affecting the County of Blackford-which was read the first time and referred to a Special Committee of Three.
On motion by Mr. BELL the Senate resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole [Mr. Bell in the Chair] and resumed the consideration of the bill [H. R. 30[?]] making appropriations for the State Government and its institutions-commencing where the Committee left off Tuesday.
The Finance Committee's amendment reducing the salary of the Deputy Attorney General from $1,000 to $600, and was agreed to.
Mr. DUNCAN moved to increase the sum for office expenses of the Superintendent of Public Instruction from $500 to $600.
Mr. WILLARD opposed the amendment.
Mr. DUNCAN offered this amendment at the request of both the outgoing and incoming Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Mr. HENRY stated that $600 was appropriated last year and all was expended.
Mr. WHITE also insisted $600 was necessary.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. JOHNSTON said the janitor of the State Library also acted as janitor of the Agricultural Bureau, and his compensation should be commensurate with his duties. He made an ineffectual motion to increase the salary from $500 to $900.
Mr. HENRY made an ineffectual motion to increase the pay of the State Librarian night watchman from $500 to $900.
The Finance Committee's amendment to reduce the sum for office and chamber expenses of the Supreme Court from $2,000 to $1,500.
Mr. SAYRE is informed $2,000 is absolutely necessary, and he opposed the amendment.
Mr. Graham also understood this sum should not be reduced below $2,000. One Judge has occupied his room one year without the carpet "being taken up.
Mr. Van Vorhis was of opinion this would be parsimony instead of economy.
Mr. White felt a curtailment would cripple the Judges.
Mr. Willard reminded the Senate that it was only in 1881 that the appropriation was increased to $2,000.
The amendment was agreed to but this vote was subsequently reconsidered on motion by Mr. Henry.
Mr. SPANN moved to increase the salary of Assistant Librarian from $750 to $1,000, as justice to a woman who will do the work and have a good share of the responsibility.
Mr. MAGEE conceding what is stated, but opposed the amendment.
Mr. HENRY moved to amend the amendment by making the sum $900.
His amendment to the amendment was agreed to as was also the amendment as amended.
The Finance Committee's amendment to make $360 the pay of the Messenger of the Supreme Court instead of $600, as in the bill.
Mr. VAN VORHIS said this man does some clerical work in addition to his duties, but on general principles if the man is worth no more than that, the item had better be stricken out,
Mr. HENRY understood this messenger's duty is to carry books from the library to the Judges.
Mr. BUNDY saw no necessity for employing a full grown man for such light duties.
Mr. SPANN preferred to see a place abolished if not worth paying for.
The Committee amendment was rejected.
On motion by Mr. SAYRE the sum for salaries of Circuit Judges was increased $7,500 to pay the three additional Circuit Judges created this session.
Mr. FOULKE moved to make one of the three janitors provided for in the bill under the charge and appointed by the Judges of the Supreme Court.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. SPANN moved ineffectually to increase the salaries of Prosecuting Attorneys from $500 to $1,000.
On motion by Mr. MARVIN the sum for Prosecuting Attorneys was increased $1,500 for the three new offices created this session.
The Finance Committee amendment, to strike out the appropriation for clothing for the insane, $22,000, being read-
Mr. MAGEE stated since the Committee acted upon this the Superintendent of the Asylum contends this should not be taken from the bill.
Mr. VAN VORHIS moved as a substitute for the Committee amendment a change of wording so as to make the appropriation in gross. There is no reason for counting these items in separate accounts. This is the view of the Superintendent of the Insane Asylum. Two years ago Mr. V. made an effort to have these sums stated in gross. They ought to be so considered.
Mr. HENRY saw no reason why these accounts be put in gross.
The amendment was rejected.
Mr. SMITH, of Delaware, understands the Committee reconsidered this act.
Mr. DAVIDSON, learning that appropriation was necessary, is satisfied the amendment was a mistake.
The CHAIRMAN understands the Committee's amendment to be withdrawn.
The Finance Committee's amendment reducing the item for repairs from $15,000 to $10,000 was agreed to.
The Finance Committee's amendment to increase the allowance to the Superintendent and Trustees of the Asylum for Feeble Minded Children $300 being read-
Mr. SPANN reiterated a former protest against an increase in the pay of the Trustees of this Institution, as one of them has come upon this floor saying the present pay is enough.
Mr. Voyles insisted the bill passed this session does not increase their salaries. The law requires these Trustees to meet once every two months and pay all their expenses.
The amendment was rejected upon a division.
The Finance Committee amendment adding to the appropriation of Purdue University a proviso that this appropriation shall only be drawn quarterly, and the Auditor of State shall issue his warrant for the sum only in case that the President of the Board of Trustees of Purdue University shall file with said Auditor on or before the first day of July, 1883, a statement that all restrictions or regulations of any nature whatsoever, in regard to students in said Institution joining or belonging to any College Secret Society, have been absolutely and completely abrogated, and shall remain so; that complete immunity has been granted said students to connect themselves with any College Secret Society they may desire; and a like statement shall be filed with the Auditor before each quarterly warrant is drawn; being read-
Mr. WILLARD delivered a set speech in support of the Committee amendment as follows :
MR. PRESIDENT-As the author of the proviso which has been unanimously reported from the Committee on Finance, and as a member of that Committee in charge of the appropriation bill, it is proper that I should give the reasons for the amendment proposed I desire in advance to state to the Senate that I have no personal inter- est in this matter whatever, as the only Greek fraternities into which I ever had the honor to be initiated, so far as I am aware, have never sought to establish a chapter in Indiana. But none the less warmly is every impulse of my nature in sympathy with this proviso. The object of the proviso is almost too well known in the Senate to page: 208[View Page 208] require explanation. Its purpose is to declare by solemn legislative enactment that the faculty of Purdue University shall not trample on the civil liberty of students in that Institution, whether citizens, or minors.
It proposes to declare in the most emphatic term in which this General Assembly can enunciate it, that and hobby-riding shall have no place in the advanced education which we are laboring to bestow on rich and poor alike in Indiana. It is indeed strange, Mr. Chairman, that in this, our advanced civilization, in a State which has the finest system of common schools on the continent, a legislator should be forced to insist that the blessings of civil liberty and freedom of thought shall not be denied to any citizen of Indiana.
One would think from the necessity which has given rise to this proviso that we were groping in dark ages of the past, under a despotic Government, rather than breathing the free air of Heaven in a State whose educational system is the pride and boast of her citizens. Nevertheless, the necessity is imperative. The Constitution of Indiana guarantees that "no law shall restrain any inhabitants of the State from assembling together in a peaceable manner to consult for their common good." Certainly no educational institution which is supported in party by the State will be permitted to invade this, one of the dearest rights of citizenship, simply because a fossilized faculty is imbued with the quintessence of craukism. The students of Purdue, who are so unfortunate as to be tyranized over by these antediluvian fanatics, know Their rights and have dared to assert them.
I purpose to briefly review the contest between the friends of civil liberty on the one side and the monomaniac faculty of Purdue up in the other. An application was made in the Tippecanoe Circuit Court in the name of the State of Indiana: on the relation of Stallard vs. White and others for a mandamus to compel the faculty of Purdue to admit a student, otherwise qualified, but who refused to sign what is known as the "Purdue Greek Fraternity pledge." The point in question was "whether a public institution supported in pa by the State could require any person, either a citizen or minor, to agree to abide by this rule of Purdue as a condition precedent to his entering the Institution. The rule alluded to is in the following language:
3. "No student is permitted to join or be connected with any so-called Greek or other College secret society, and as a condition of admission to the University or promotion therein each student is required to give a written pledge that he or she will observe this regulation. A violation of this regulation and pledge forfeits the right of any student to class promotion at the end of the year and to an honorable dismissal."
Upon a hearing of the cause before Judge Vinton, of The Tippecanoe Circuit Court, the writ of mandate was dented to the plaintiff and an appeal was promptly prayed to the Supreme Court. While this appeal was being taken, and while as yet the case was not decided by the Supreme Conn, the extremely conscientious, high-minded and honorible President of Purdue, whose hair stands erect in horror at the very mention of a secret society, by a species of chicanery which would disgrace a pettifogger in a Police Court endeavored to bias the action of the Supreme Court by an official report to the Governor of the State in which he uses the following language:
"It is not feared that Judge Vinton's decision will be reversed by the Supreme Court of the State, and hence the validity of the Purdue regulation prohibiting connection with College secret societies may be considered as judicially settled."
At the time those words were penned by the President of Purdue he well knew that nothing whatever was settled by a Circuit Court decision from which an appeal had been prayed to the Supreme Court, and his futile attempt to bias a Court can only be considered the chattering nonsense of a blind fanatic, or else a willful misrepresention in an official report. He may take whichever horn of the dilemma he choses, but notwithstanding this insinuating effort on the part of the President of Purdue, the Supreme Court, decided the case upon its merits. I desire to quote from the decision: "But the possession of this great power over a student after he has entered the University does not justify the imposition of either detracting or extraordinary terms as a condition of admission into it, nor does it justify anything which may be construed as an invidious discrimination against an applicant on account of his previous membership in any one of the Greek fraternities, conceding their characters, objects and aims to be what they are averred to be in the complaint." So much for the case which th e President of Purdue so boldly announced in advance was practically settled. But the Faculty of Purdue were not satisfied: they passed for a rehearing: they wanted more, and they got more than they wanted. The Court granted the rehearing, and then reaffirmed their former decision with this addition: "In legal effect we have only decided that Regulation No. 3, adopted by the Faculty, and the special pledge tendered to Hawley fairly implied a discrimination against a class of the inhabitants of this State as much entitled to admission in the University as any other class, and that to that extent, that regulation and that special pledge were both unlawful and unreasonable."
"When an inhabitant of the State has acquired the right of admission into a Public School, and that right has been unjustly denied, he is as much injured as if some important property right had been invaded, and as much entitled to appeal to the Courts for relief. This has been settled by innumerable precedents and decided cases, and is no longer an open question. It is equally the duty of Courts to grant relief against the enforcement of unjust and unreasonable regulation for the government of Public Schools after questions of admission have been disposed of." In this you perceive that the Court went even further than in its original decision, and says in fact that it is the duty of the Court to take cognizance of rules of this kind, whether they be precedent to admission or refer to the subsequent continuation of the student in the University. Now, how did the faculty of Purdue receive this decision of the Supreme Court? Did they submit to tit with good grace like law-abiding citizens? Did they bow with respect to the Supreme Judicial authority of the State and endeavor to right the wrong they had done to the students under their charge? Far from it. They assembled together and concocted a subterfuge that scarcely serves even to disguise their contempt by the Supreme Court of Indiana. Let me inform the Senate of the action they took. They adopted the following rules and pledge:
2. No student shall join or have any active connection as a member or otherwise with any so-called Greek fraternity or other College secret society or with any other students' society not authorized by the faculty, and as a condition of graduation or honorable dismission, students shall be required to sign a written statement that they have complied with this regulation.
6. As a condition of admission to the University or any department therein, o re-entrance, students shall be required to subscribe to the foregoing regulations and all other regulations of the University relating to obligation and duties of students, and promise a faithful compliance therewith during their connection; that is, until dismissed or graduated.
"Pledge (to be signed by student): I hereby subscribe to the foregoing regulations, and all other regulations of Purdue University which re page: 209[View Page 209]late to the duties and obligations of students, and I promise on my honor a faithful compliance therewith during the University year, ending June 30 next."
In this way the faculty of Purdue re-imposed upon the students the very rule which the Supreme Court had termed degrading and extraordinary. These rules assume to establish a condition subsequent to admission of a condition precedent, but in truth and in fact they establish a condition precedent by making the student pledge his honor to abide by the condition subsequent. This is the most bold-faced and impudent attempt to evade Supreme Judicial authority that I have ever known, either in this State or any other. The faculty of Purdue have placed themselves in shameless' and open contumacy of the Supreme Court, and defiantly challenge its powers, and did the law of civil procedure permit it, I doubt not they would" be summoned for contempt and allowed to cool their fevered fanaticism inside the cold walls of a common Jail until they had purged themselves of their contempt. This is the history of the struggle which the students of Purdue have made against the oppression which crushes them down. You ask, perhaps, why do they not again go into the Courts? Why do they not compel the faculty to abandon their heinous and degrading regulation? Remember, Senator, that these students are many of them young boys, poor perhaps, and unable to bear the heavy expenses which an appeal of cases to the Supreme Court necessarily entails, and what assurance will they have that another contest will not be followed by another attempted evasion ? They have been victorious in the Courts but it has been of little avail, and, therefore, they come to you as the representatives of the people, and they have the right to make their appeal to you. They ask you to relieve them from these regulations, which the Supreme Court has pronounced to be degrading. They ask you to burst the shackles which bind their consciences, They ask you to relive them of the infamous pledge which dishonors their man hood. They ask you to say, through the medium of legislation, that you will not permit an class of the inhabitants of this State to be held in moral slavery by any combination of men what- soever. They ask to be relieved from the ignominious and insensate mandates of a cabal which can be most fitly characterized in the words of the most varsatile of English literati, "men who are a type of those never to-be-forgoten times of cold hearts and narrow minds-the golden age of the coward, the bigot and the slave. And these students have the right to appeal to you. It was a right guaranteed to them by their fathers, and that it might never be disregarded it was placed in the supreme law of the State in these words: "Knowledge and learning generally diffused throughout a community being essential to the preservation of a free Government, it shall be the duty of the General Assembly to encourage by all suitable means moral, intellectual, scientific and agricultral improvement, and to provide by law for a general and uniform system of Common Schools, where tuition shall be without charge and equally open to all."
Every Senator upon this floor is aware that it is under this provision of the Constitution that aid has repeatedly been granted to the State University, the Normal School and Purdue University, and to the credit of the other Institutions be it said that Purdue has been the only one to violate the Constitution of Indiana as expounded by the Supreme Court of the State.
I appeal to you, my fellow Senators, to right this wrong. I appeal to you not to close your ears to the demand of the down-trodden students of Purdue University. I appeal to every liberty-loving sentiment which animates your bosoms, I appeal to you Republicans whose hearts thrill with just pride when you recall, as the grandest achievement of the greatest representative of your party, the striking off the fetters from the limbs of 4,000,000 enslaved, and I ask you are you ready to maintain a species of moral slavery right here in the free State of Indiana? I do not believe it.
I appeal to my Democratic friends, members of a party which has survived so many successive defeats only because it is founded on inalienable and unchangeable principles, and I ask you, are you going to deny the prayer of the oppressed in utter disregard of the fundamental principle enunciated by the founder of our party, "equal and exact justice to all men?"
Again I appeal to yon as Senators acting under the obligation of a solemn oath, and I ask you, are you going to disregard the sacred provision of the Constitution that the system of Common Schools shall be equally open to all. Are you going to say that a man who joins a Greek fraternity should be classed in the same category as a criminal, that he shall not be accorded the-same liberty as other inhabitants of this State? Why, what are the Greek fraternities?
If you listen to the drivel of the President of Purdue, you would suppose that they were the offspring of Satan and the damned. Away with such fanaticism. These fraternities have numbered in their catalogues the grandest names in American history in the nineteenth century. You find their members in every assemblage of educated men. As I look around upon my colleagues, I find that well nigh half of them have experienced their blessings and known their worth. They throw around the young man just entering collegiate life the most secure protection imaginable. He leaves his home, doubting, hesitating, untried, inexperienced, totally unfamiliar with the ways of the world, and when be enters the fraternity he finds himself amid a brotherhood whose older members will guide and counsel him. He finds himself protected, advised, admonished, urged onward in the pathway of ambition, while his course is regarded with the most affectionate solicitude and brotherly care. He finds himself at once admitted
- "To a sphere where love's the center,
- Where all hate and envy cease,
- Where dissensions never enter
- To a fellowship of peace.
- Each for every other caring
- Learns his brother's good to prize,
- With his brother honor sharing-
- Every honor multiplies."
The Greek fraternities train the student by the art of criticism into habits of correct thought. They teach him the first rudiments of political maneuvering. They give him new and broader ideas of humanity. They elevate him in all that constitutes true manhood. These fraternities form the green oases in the dreary desert of collegiate labor. For myself I can say that the Greek fraternities into which I had the honor to be initiated, accomplished for me fully as much as the collegiate course itself. And in after days, when fighting the battle of life, in the pauses of the contest; with what fond remembrance does the mind look back and dwell upon fraternity experience! I have experienced the beneficent influence of the Greek fraternities, and never shall my voice be silent when they are assailed until my tongue is stilled in death.
But there is another aspect, in which this question should be viewed. What means this sudden attempt to engraft into the youthful mind the belief that a secret society is simply a league with hell? Are we going back to the dead issues of the palmy days of Thurlow Weed, and attempting to revive the spirit of Morganism in the land?
Are we expending the money of the State that the worn out so-called priciples of the anti-Masonry party may be instilled into the minds of the young? If so I, for one am ready to call a page: 210[View Page 210] halt and say that rot one single cent of the money the State shall be expended for the inculcation of such pernicious doctrines. You can never eradicate an innate principle from the human mind. The tendency of men to associate themselves together in secret societies is a part of human nature I challenge all history to disprove the assertion. The records of secret societies are found engraven in stone amid the hieroglyphics of the Rameses. The songs of these orders were chanted beneath the hanging gar- dens of Babylon; they were re-echoed along the shores of the Aegean in the Elusinian mysteries: they were heard again in the Vehm Gericht of Germany and Burgundy, and finally in our own times they are echoed and re-echoed in every Clime and beneath every sky-
- "Where'er the sun
- Does his successive journeys run."
The influence of the secret society is to-day well nigh forming a brotherhood of mankind as the various orders extend their power. The secret orders are cementing and uniting humanity in a "solid phalanx of friendship, which no foe can sever, neither can the gates of hell prevail against it."
They are hastening that day of universal brotherhood which the Scottish bard, with fatidical eye, foresaw more than a century ago and prophesied in his grandest poem.
- "Then let us pray that come it may.
- It's coming yet for a' that,
- When man to man the world o'er
- Shall brothers be for a' that."
Mr. Chairman, I sincerely trust that the proviso may be adopted by such a decisive majority as shall thoroughly and finally settle this question for the future.
Mr. FOULKE called attention to the fact that the proposed amendment would be a special act applying to Purdue University alone. Under some circumstances a proviso of this kind might not be very disadvantageous to a University, but prompted as this is by spite, and backed as it is by a speech in which personal vituperation of the President of that Institution has been a prevailing motive for the passage of such a proviso at such a time, it can be nothing more nor less than a stab at that College, and nothing more nor less than an insult to the gentlemen who constitute the Board of Trustees, the President an el Faculty of an Institution that has done a great deal of good in this State. Who is it that makes a complaint, and who is it that appeals to the Senate on behalf of these down-trodden students?
Mr. WILLARD stated that he had in his possession over thirty letters from the students playing for this prohibition, and every one of them telling him that they would be expelled if their names were revealed.
Mr. YOUCHE opposed the amendment, although'belonging to one of the honorable and ancient Greek fraternities that have chapters in this State. When voting on such questions we should rise above all considerations but what is for the best interests of the State. He favored the public interest and would not vote to saddle a rider of this kind on the bill which would put it in the power of one man to rob the people of the State from benefits that might be derived from this school.
On motion by Mr. SPANN the Committee rose, reported progress and asked leave to sit at 2 o'clock to-morrow.
The Senate concurred in the report.
On motion by Mr. Mclntosh the Senate concurred in the House concurrent resolution instructing and requesting Indiana Congressmen to try and secure an appropriation by the Federal Congress for a liberal sum to be used for the relief of the people suffering from the floods.
Mr. BELL called up his motion, notice of which was given yesterday, for a change of the daily meetings of the Senate so they shall convene at 9:30 a. m. and 1:30 p m.
Mr. BUNDY moved to amend by substituting 9 a. m. and 2 p. m.
The substitute was adopted.
The motion as amended was agreed to.
And then the Senate adjourned.

What is a sinus headache?If the ducts that connect the sinuses to the back of the nose become inflamed, the ability of the sinuses to drain normally is decreased, and pressure builds up within the blocked sinus. There may also be associated swelling and inflammation of the lining of the sinuses, resulting in increased mucus and fluid secretion. This increase in fluid and pressure causes the pain of a sinus headache. The term sinusitis is used to describe inflammation of the sinus (sinus + itis = inflammation). What causes a sinus headache?
Comment on this
While a sinus inflammation (sinusitis) can be due to a viral infection much like a cold that causes swelling in the nose and decreases the ability of the sinuses to drain, an allergic reaction such as hay fever may also begin the process of inflammation. Like inflammation anywhere else in the body, there is swelling and increased fluid production. In the sinuses, this decreases the ability of the sinuses to drain and the increased inflammatory fluid production (just like the weeping observed with a skin injury) combines to cause the pain and pressure of a sinus headache. Nature does not like stagnant fluid, and after a period of time bacteria and viruses can travel from the nasal cavities into the fluid and cause an infection. Less commonly, fungal infections may cause a sinus infection, and even more rarely, tumors can invade the sinus. The maxillary sinus sits underneath the eye within the cheekbone. The upper teeth attach to the lower portion of this bone, and dental infections can travel up the root of the tooth and infect the sinus directly.

Editorial | Advancing Eastern Kentucky
<![CDATA[PIKEVILLE, KY. -- Eastern Kentucky has made much progress in recent years and few know that better than U.S. Rep Hal Rogers, the Somerset Republican who has spent much of his long tenure in Congress helping make it possible. Monday, he used his opening remarks at an extraordinary gathering on the region's future to list some past accomplishments. Among items he mentioned at the one-day SOAR conference (Shaping Our Appalachian Region) in Pikeville: * Cleaning up litter, including the junked cars and rusting appliances that used to clutter the hills and hollows of Eastern Kentucky. * Removing "straight pipes," the notorious drains that spewed sewage straight into streams. * Organizing programs to fight illegal drugs and prescription drug abuse that have exercised an especially corrosive grip on the region. Yet he and Gov. Steve Beshear made it very clear at Monday's SOAR meeting that the problems of Eastern Kentucky are stubborn and deep. They include generational poverty, high unemployment, low educational attainment, poor health and entrenched political corruption. Such problems will require a sustained effort to help the people of Eastern Kentucky, who account for about one-fifth of Kentucky's population, become better educated, find meaningful employment and lead productive lives. Gov. Beshear was particularly blunt in calling for citizens and elected leaders to face reality about coal, once king in Eastern Kentucky but now a fading force in jobs and energy. While coal has been a "foundation" of the region's economy and remains important, "there should be no doubt in anyone's mind that its role as an employer is reducing," he said. "To ignore that is to blindfold ourselves and stick our heads in the sand." Gov. Beshear described as "urgent" the need to address challenges facing the region. Apparently many in Kentucky agree. About 1,700 people showed up for the day-long event, including elected officials, community advocates, government workers and local leaders. The event itself had a remarkable bipartisan flavor, highlighted by the joint appearance of Rep. Rogers and Gov. Beshear, a Democrat. As co-hosts and keynote speakers, they both urged putting the future of Eastern Kentucky ahead of party differences. Rep. Rogers, serving in a U.S. House currently fractured by bitter partisan politics, gave no hint of such rancor as he spoke simply and directly on behalf of bipartisan solutions that would bring new jobs, technology and prosperity to his region. One of his greatest ambitions, he said, is to stop the "brain drain" of young people from Eastern Kentucky and allow them to remain in "these beloved hills from whence we come." It was a refreshing contrast to U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Louisville Republican and Senate minority leader who skipped the Monday SOAR meeting but staged his own event Friday in Pikeville to denounce the so-called "war on coal" of the Obama administration. Mr. McConnell, according to a political website, was attending an out-of-state fundraiser Monday. Seeking a sixth U.S. Senate term, Mr. McConnell continues the tiresome tirade about coal even as others are willing to move forward, seeking broader and better opportunities for Eastern Kentucky. Monday's SOAR conference was just a start. Organizers acknowledge they must work to come up with solutions and ideas to prove the event isn't another meaningless study of Eastern Kentucky. But it's an impressive start. And it offers great promise under the leadership of those willing to put aside personal politics for true advancement of an important region and its proud people.

Caption contest: How Sharpie is your wit?
21 February 2013 - 2:54pm
Caption contest: How Sharpie is your wit?
Update: Congrats to our winner - Tammy L. from Keavy, Kentucky. Her caption was short and sweet - and made us laugh out loud: "For a good time ... call 1-812-937-4401." (That's the park's phone number.) Congrats to Tammy, who wins two one-day tickets. Thanks to all who entered!
It's time for another caption contest!
While leafing through Nathan's latest construction photos from Hyena Falls, this one made me laugh.
What in the world is a Sharpie doing in a construction zone? And more importantly - what the heck is he writing?
Judging by the looks on their faces, it's pretty important.
Here's my feeble crack at it: Tic ... tac ... wait! I can't remember - am I "x" or "o" this time around?
Now it's your turn - what's he getting ready to write with that Sharpie? Or, what are they discussing so earnestly?
Make us laugh out loud and you could win two one-day tickets to Holiday World & Splashin' Safari!
A few rules:
1. Must be 13 or older to enter.
2. Must not be an employee of Holiday World & Splashin' Safari (or that employee's immediate family member).
3. Yes, you may enter more than once. Because you're just that witty, right? But five times per person is the limit. Really. And only one caption per posted Comment, please.
4. If you've won tickets from one of our contests within the past six months, you're not elegible to win. If it's been more than six months - have at it!
5. Judges' decision is final. It always is.
6. Deadline is next Monday at noon. That's 2/25/13 at 12 noon CST. We'll notify the winner by email by that Wednesday.

Academy Ocean Grille
Online Reservations
Went on Easter Sunday. Great experience as the food was good and the service was excellent! Everyone was very accommodating to our group and friendly. We had never been here even though been to the Cape many times and my mother lives in Harwichport! We will return! Especially Loved the brunch offerings...
Visited the Academy for the second time after a good first experience. Don't eect to be wowed by the setting or deco, both are pleasant but not distinctive. The food, however, is all prepared fresh and with nice touches and excellent quality. Portions are sensible, not generous, but not "gourmet tiny" either. The wine list is like the everything else at Academy - good quality and just enough to satisfy without overwhelming you with choices, or disappointing you with too few. We will visit again, considering Academy a good option among a few in Orleans (Abba, Nauset Beach Club, Mahoney's, and Joes at the Barley Neck Inn).
We dined on a busy Saturday night in the off season. The restaurant is easily located, and convenient to major roads, near the intersection of 6A, 6 and 28. The food was surprisingly good, well presented, fresh and hot. Menu choices were varied, but limited in number. Our only concern was the wait for dinner. We were seated about 630, and drinks and first course were served promptly. However, our dinners did not arrive until close to 730. As long as you are not in a hurry (we had show tickets at 8), this would be an excellent choice in this area.
Friendly service, varied menu and moderate pricing have made Academy Ocean Grille our restaurant of choice in the Orleans area. We highly recommend it.
Academy Ocean Grill is a must visit. We went for Sunday Brunch on Mother's Day. Our reservation was honored immediate upon our arrival. The restaurant was busy but not overcrowded. Part of this may be due to the fact that tables are well spaced. You can actually talk in a normal voice and be heard without talking over everyone around you. We both had fish which was fresh and well prepared. Sauces were light and flavorful. Best of all food was served steaming hot. Dietary request were easily accomodated. Service was good and attentive. I highly recommend reservations as this could be a popular Cape Cod spot in the summer season.
We have been to this restaurant 4 times in the past and it has been consistently good. The wait staff is pleasant and efficient although we have never felt rushed. The swordfish and sole are our favorites, absolutely delicious.
Had a great meal with friends... food was excellent, wine was perfect, and our waiter was attentive without being annoying Recommended!
Good food, and wine topped off by friendly competent servers.
Very pleasant meal. There were five of us and we were put at a round table in the corner which was perfect since one of us is hard of hearing. The service was attentive and timely and everyone's choice of meal was delicious. Also the rolls were warm and fresh! Will return.
Enjoyed the Academy Ocean Grille menu selections. Great assortment of seafood offerings, with very nice treatment of cape favorites such as Cod and Swordfish. and a reasonably priced wine selection. Quiet, comfortable seating. Wonderful quality of service provided.
Loved the ambiance of the restaurant. The fish was amazing - halibut, cod and salmon w/ blue crab were all delicious. We loved the presentation and the variety of sides on each plate. We arrived quite a bit before our reservation and were able to be seated even before the time of our reservation in a very crowded restaurant. This was a great find on the Cape - casual with delicious food and great service. Desserts looked amazing but we were stuffed! Recommend the crab rangoon and raspberry and brie spring rolls as appetizers as well. Can't wait to go back!
We enjoyed a delicious dinner. We were initially disappointed with the wait staff, as we sat for about 15 minutes before someone attended to our table. That was after we called a waiter over. Staff was very apologetic and service was fine after that initial period. We both ordered the sole Francais which was delicious. It contained a crab topping which i am allergic to and the restaurant substituted scallops for a small addtional fee. Portions were very substantial. Asparagus was slightly over cooked. Too full for dessert but next time we will save room for it!
Last minute plans for a romantic dinner and it was perfect. We had three appetizers and an entrée. Seafood included the best tasting scallops I've ever had
We found this restaurant by looking on Open Table for restaurants in the Brewster area where we were staying. We wanted a restaurant that took reservations. Academy Ocean Grille doesn't look like much from the outside but the interior is very pleasant. There were five of us for dinner. Service was friendly and very good. We all enjoyed our meals very much and will definitely return next year when we are on the Cape.
We reserved thru Open Table, but when we arrived, the restaurant had no record of our reservation. I showed the confirmation e-mail (Thank You Open Table) to the hostess & we were promptly seated. All 4 in our party enjoyed our meals. Service was not rushed. Enjoyable evening; will return.
Am never disappointed with the food. Especially enjoy the Academy for lunch and Sun. brunch as it offers more substantial mid-day selections. Prices are reasonable and service is great.
We returned to the Academy Ocean Grill with friends on a hot Friday night and it did not disappoint. It's a great spot for very good food (both the cod and the special halibut were excellent) in a pretty quiet dining room. Our waitress was very attentive and had a good sense of humor. Love that they take reservations which is unusual on the cape in the summertime.
My husband and I ate at Academy Ocean Grille on July 20, 2013. None of us had been there before but we had tickets for a theater performance just down the street, so we thought we'd try it. In making the reservation, we requested a quiet spot since the husbands are both a little hard of hearing. The restaurant staff took note and gave us a little corner table which was perfect. The food and the service were very good and just what we expected after reading a number of reviews for the restaurant. When in the area again, we won't hesitate to go back.
I dined here with my husband in July while we were on the cape for vacation. We were traveling with 5 kids and grandparents. We left the children with grandparents and had a lovely, quiet dinner at Academy Ocean Grille. This was our first visit and I will look forward to going back. They have a diverse cocktail menu and wine list had some great offerings. The food is inventive and creative, I had francese/parmesan crusted halibut with a light lemon sauce served over couscous and my husband had swordfish which looked great. I would recommend the sticky toffee pudding for dessert it was served with a homemade butterscotch sauce which was absouletly delicous.
Academy Ocean Grille continues to be my favorite restaurant on Cape Cod.
We made reservations ahead, so they would know our 9 yer old vegetarian grand daughter would be coming. She enjoyed the pasta with butter and grated cheese. We enjoyed another wonderful meal.
We were in the Brewster area for a conference and wanted to take a colleague out to a nice dinner on a Saturday night. I found this restaurant on Open Table and as I needed a place that accepted reservations, I took a chance. We had an excellent meal with an excellent waitress. Needless to say we were very pleased.
The food at this restaurant was excellent. The watermelon soup was light with just the right texture and hint of cilantro. The clam chowder was also very good- just thick enough and filled with clams. The fish entres were perfectly prepared with unusual sides (mashed sweet potatoes, beets and potatoes) which complemented the fish beautifully. The salmon was particularly good.
We went with a small child for his mother's birthday, having cancelled at another restaurant that said, "We don't have high chairs." This accommodating place had one all set up for us, at a round table away from other diners. The menu had some great appetizers to share, and the service was superb, even when the inevitable spill needed attention. Lots of interesting specials. Unpretentious but excellent!
Outstanding food with better than average service. Will definitely return and will order the Veal Saltobianca (sp)....mouthwatering.
Eaten here a number of times and never been disappointed!
The Academy Ocean Grille is a lovely little gem in Orleans - the food is great, the decor is inviting, and the staff is very friendly. Our meals were well prepared and presented. We ordered a special for the night - striped bass provencal - which was excellent: perfectly seasoned, a generous portion of fish that was fresh, perfectly cooked, and moist. Absolutely delicious. Friends ordered a dish on the printed menu - sole francaise - and clearly loved their dishes as well. The room tends to be loud when they have a full house. Only complaint is that after noting a food allergy, the wrong meal was delivered to the person with the allergy. Otherwise, a wonderful meal and we will definitely be returning.
The restaurant is right down the street from the playhouse. Indoor and outdoor dining options. Wonderful food and service. A quiet spot where you can enjoy a relaxing dinner before a show. Try the sea bass.
There are a number of orleans restaurants that cost the same or more but their food Just isn't half as good. Lovely seafood and more and fine service.
Also very good iare their veal and primavera with sea scallops
Last time I was here the food was only adequate. This time both my wife and I enjoyed the veal saltimboca that was perfectly prepared.
Outstanding host, wait staff and cuisine. Very friendly and accommodating. We will return.
We had a wonderful first time visit. Food was wonderful and our server was terrific. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting the Orleans area.
We come here every summer for the wonderful Sole Francaise and interesting appetizers. The food is consistently good and the service is efficient. My biggest complaint about the restaurant is the plastic table coverings. It gives the restaurant a tacky atmosphere.
This is a nice restaurant where the clientele and staff where shirts, shoes, and pants (instead of shorts, t-shirts and flip flops). The food is upscale, nice portions, with plenty of high end restaurant style food at moderate prices. When on the Cape, I'm often frustrated by the restaurants that serve more fried than food. This place is a much need option among the unhealthy, low quality beach eateries in the area.
Academy was again very good with good food and service. Nut encrusted Halibut was fresh and tasty, Although restaurant biusy wait staff was attentive and very professional. Try it!
Innovative food well cooked NAND presented. Table service pleasant and efficient. Dining room is very pleasant but not atmospheric. Only minor negative was the man on front desk who was devoid of personality or charm !
Not a fancy place, but the meals are always first rate in a charming atmosphere.
We spent the weekend in Orleans, and Academy Ocean Grille was our choice for Saturday's dinner. It had been years since I was last there, but it was as charming as I remembered. The food was excellent. We had the homemade crab rangoon appetizer, which was sweet and crispy, with an excellent dipping sauce. For our entree, we shared the pork tenderloin with sweet potato puree and grilled broccolini. The meal was perfect for early fall. Our only disapointment was that the restaurant did not split the tenderloin in the kitchen. Although they gave us two plates with the accompanying vegetables, all the pork was served on one plate.
This is a good go to place that my wife and I have been to quite a few times. The food is good but nothing that stands out. Service is always friendly if sometimes a little slow. Can go from crowded at times to almost no one there at others.
A really good restaurant, not superb but you can tell there is some experience in the kitchen. Service was casual yet thorough. I will return as from the conversations I heard from nearby tables this restaurant is consistent.
Had a long time friend visiting from out-of-state and wanted to take her to a special restaurant. Chose the Academy Ocean Grill after dining there several times. The food has been consistently top notch. Each of us (there were 3) chose the swordfish which was outstanding in terms of taste and texture. The ambiance is a mix of classy and Capey (if there is such a word). Would highly recommend to most.
Have been here in summer months when the menu is much more extensive...missed the samosas, the potstickers and the spring rolls which I think we're on the menu then. Also, the number of entrees was limited (late October 2013) as compared to summertime. Veal, filet Mignon and swordfish were all yummy ...delish..... The paint shades are very Zen like so it is a relaxing atmosphere.... Lights could be just a little dimmer. All in all a great restaurant and we will return
The food and service at the Academy Ocean Grill is consistently exceptional. On the most recent visit, I had the swordfish, which was perfectly prepared. Any meal that I have here is always finished off with Sticky Toffiee Pudding. Don't miss this one when you are visiting, or live on, Cape Cod.
Very good meal along with great attentive service.
We went to Academy Ocean Grill on a Sunday night after a concert and were treated to a top notch set of entrees. I had the swordfish, which was excellent, my wife had broiled cod, which she thought was very good, and the others in our party had veal saltimbocca, which they described as one of the best they ever had. They also have a good selection of wine. The atmosphere is casual but leaning a little upscale (w/o ever being pretentious).
This place may not look like much from the outside, but it has a great kitchen. We were looking for a place for Thanksgiving and Open Table recommended the Grille, and we're glad they did. Although we did not get there until 45 minutes before the last reservation, the Turkey was very tasty and moist. The real test is the stuffing and their's was very good, and not the Stove Top that many places try to pawn off as the real thing. Portions were large and reasonably priced, particularly for Cape Cod. We are from New Orleans, and we have a small catering company, so we're not quick to hand out kudos, but this place deserves it.
Always a great meal! One of my favorite spots on the Lower Cape.
We hadn't been here is a few years. It was wonderful. The food was really lovely--carefully prepared, not too heavy (sauces, fats, etc.) and tasty. Service was the best. It's the first time a request for more water has been met with a carafe so that we could self-serve. Thoughtful and attentive. We'll visit frequently now.

Horseback riding tours
Rides in USA
Intro to USA
Trip in USA
- Choose Country - Canada USA - Choose Continent - Africa Asia Central America Eastern Africa Europe Middle East North America Oceania Southern Africa South America
Dreamed of riding the open range on a good horse, driving a thousand head of cattle? Ride back in time for a week at this working ranch at Copper Creek in New Mexico - where dreams come alive and adventure reins. 78,000 acres of wild high country, 3000 head of yearling steers and just four guests. You bet you will be a cowboy, this is the real deal! The ranch is one of New Mexico's oldest working guest ranches. For twenty years they have made cowboy dreams a reality for thousands of folks. This summer we will be helping the owners graze 3000 yearling steers. We will be needing four folks a week to come lend a hand. The ranch is remote, over an hour from the closest town. The headquarters sits in a beautiful valley surrounded by the 3 million acre Gila National Forest. If you think of New Mexico as heat, rocks and rattlesnakes - think again! This ranch is at an elevation of 8,000 to 10,000 feet, this is high country at it's finest. Towering Ponderosa Pine forests, alpine meadows, Spruce covered mountains and miles of rolling grass lands. This place has it all. The plan is to keep all 3000 yearlings in one of the six big pastures for a month and then gather and move to the next pasture for a month and so on from May through October. Each pasture is about 12,000 acres so by the time we gather, drive, spread, and get strays a month has galloped by and it's time to do it all again. So no matter when you visit there is always plenty of cowboyin'. We did it this way a couple times over the years and let me tell you it is long day after long day of gathering and driving big bunches of cattle. It's cowboy heaven! Many days we will watch the sun rise and set from the back of a horse. Wildlife abounds here. This ranch is known as one of the premier elk habitats in the U.S. It is an everyday deal to ride and see hundreds of elk in one herd and view many herds each day. There are also plenty of antelope, deer, hawks, eagles, wolves and other critters. Rich in history this high and lonesome country was the heartland of the Apache. Victorio, Mangus, and Geronimo all were born and lived in this awesome land. Billy the Kid, Kit Carson and Ben Lilly traveled these trails. Butch and Sundance were cow-bosses on the ranch for three years. Things are safer now but the country hasn't changed a bit. You will see it as they saw it. Wild, free and unspoiled. WE HAVE NO scorpions, rattlesnakes, ticks, chiggers, blackflies or mosquitos!
Working Ranch Cattle Drive, Round Up Suitable for riders over 210 lbs
2012 CALENDAR This calendar is not an absolute, set in stone sort of deal. What we do and when we do it depends on grass and water and a few dozen other things. It is impossible to say months ahead of time exactly what we will be doing and when. The Spring Spread might take two weeks or six weeks. Fall Gather could be the same so just use this as a general guide line. Spring Spread: mid May to Mid June The cattle will start arriving in early May. They will come in on semi's a few hundred a day, a few days a week. When they get in the corrals they will be looked over and anything not looking good will be cut off and held for doctoring. We will then push the rest out into one of the big pastures and drive them to water before we let them drift. For those of you who know the ranch they will be going into Bearwallow and Negrito Pastures at this time of year. The days cattle aren't arriving we will ride out gathering and driving them deeper into the mountain pastures spreading them thin. We will be staying at the main headquarters. SUMMER DRIVES: mid June to mid September The grazing plan calls for the 3000 yearlings to move to new pasture each month. The summer will just be constant gathering, driving and spreading cattle. There won't ever be a day that we aren't working cattle. We will be riding Loco Mountain, Canyon Creek and Pitchfork pastures during this time of year and staying out in camp a few nights a week. FALL GATHER AND SHIPPING: mid September to mid October We will have worked our way around the ranch over the last few months and late fall we'll end up in 7HL pasture ready to come into the smaller holding pastures for shipping. The first couple weeks we will be gathering 7HL and getting all the strays rounded up. The last few weeks are spent gathering a bunch out of the holding pastures to ship every few days. Into the corrals we drive them to be sorted, weighed and loaded on trucks. It's a lot of fun! We will be staying at the main headquarters.
Horses The horses make our world go around and we have some great ones. Many of the horses were born here on the ranch and have never been off it, they're family. They know their jobs and do it well. They work cattle. Solid sure footed partners for getting a days work done. They ride with a soft mouth, work lightly off your leg (if you don't know what that means maybe take some lesson before getting here) and they know what a long day is. They all are a pleasure to be around. They don't like riding nose to tail and we don't either. Tack Western saddles and tack is provided ... if you want to bring your own - you are welcome Experience Level You don't need to be a top hand to come out, by the end of a week you will be well on your way to being one. But you must be at least an intermediate level rider. You must be able to saddle and mount unassisted and be confident and easy on your horse at all gaits. The spring pastures are mountainous and can be technical with steep slopes, fallen timber, rocks and streams. The summer and fall pastures are more open and rolling but still offer up some challenging terrain. We have a weight limit of 275 pounds and you must be in good physical shape with no serious medical problems. We are three hours from the nearest hospital! You must not be a whiner! You must be willing to pitch in and get dirty. You must have a sense of humor and bring a joke. We don't claim to be for everyone. We aren't going to babysit you. WE AIN'T NO DUDE RANCH! If your looking for kidney shaped swimming pools, shuffleboard, or a Jacuzzi look some where else.

Which pastures we are riding determines where we eat and sleep. In the spring and fall we will be staying at the headquarters. Everyone in their own cabin, hot showers and sit down meals in the cookhouse. Mid summer we may spend a few nights each week out on the range in a basic cowboy camp of tents and bedrolls, no showers and meals are eaten on our laps. The cabins are nestled in the pines and just steps away from the cook house, showers and corrals. Each has a twin and a double bed, gas heat, solar light and a deck with a couple chairs for relaxing as the sun goes down. They are clean, warm and cozy, everyone loves them
The Bunkhouse has two sets of bunk beds, gas heat and gas lights with a deck over looking the valley. It's a bit roomier than a cabin and perfect for three or four folks. There also is a Big Cabin with two bedrooms, full kitchen and bath, living room with wood stove and a deck that over looks the hay field and horse pastures - a surcharge may apply - ask for a quote. The shower house has just been renovated and is really nice! There is a cowboy side and a cowgirl side each with two sinks and a shower with plenty of hot water! Yes, we only have an outhouse but I promise you it is the nicest one you have ever been in. It too was just renovated. Meals Meals are served up in the cook house which is just steps away from all the cabins. It's a very cool building. All our meals are simple and hearty and there is always plenty. Breakfast is a big one, then we each make our own lunch from a spread and pack it with us. (We often don't stop for a picnic but just eat on the go.) Dinner is stews, roasts, BBQ and such. Of course a few New Mexican meals also. (You will learn not to be scared of green chili.) All our beef and eggs and many veggies are home grown and most of our other meats are local. We like to eat and eat well! When we are out in camp and away from the headquarters, we have a chuck trailer with us and eat well there too.
This trip includes and can accommodate special dietary requests.

The introduction of fortnightly black bag waste collections moves a step closer this week.
From Monday September 30th, every household in Pembrokeshire will receive a card detailing how the new service will affect them.
It follows Pembrokeshire County Council's decision to move to a fortnightly service for general black bag and glass waste.
Food waste and orange bag waste will continue to be collected weekly.
Until now general black bag waste, has been collected once a week – along with food and orange bag recyclable waste.
Councillor Huw George, Cabinet Member for Environment and Regulatory Services, said that changes had to be made in order to meet Welsh Government recycling targets and to make financial savings.
"Fortnightly black bag collections will divert more rubbish into recycling bringing environmental benefits and enabling Pembrokeshire to meet its future Welsh Government statutory recycling target," he said.
The council reminded owners and agents of holiday accommodation that waste and recycling produced by holiday lets and bed and breakfast accommodation is considered non domestic/trade waste.
A Trade Waste Agreement needs to be in place for this waste to be collected by the county council.
This black bag waste and glass waste will also be collected fortnightly while recycling and food waste will remain weekly.
The new fortnightly collections – both domestic and trade waste - will be introduced from October 14th and will apply to all households apart from some flats and multi occupancy properties that do not receive food and glass collections. These will continue to have weekly black bag collections until alternative arrangements can be made.
Collection days will remain unchanged although collection times could alter.
Householders can also find out when their first fortnightly collection will be by entering their postcode into the Find My Nearest facility on www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk Further information about trade waste is available by contacting the Trade Waste Section on 01437 775149 or by email to: firstname.lastname@example.com

Home ice has been quite kind to the Columbus Blue Jackets of late. They'll look to carry that momentum on the road Friday as they travel to Pittsburgh for the opener of a home-and-home series with the formidable Penguins. In the midst of playing at home eight times in a nine-game span, the Blue Jackets went 3-1-0 over the first half of the stretch but will be in for a tough time against a Penguins team that already owns a seven-point lead atop the Metropolitan Division.While Pittsburgh's offense is as potent as expected, the improved defense and goaltending has been the catalyst for the Penguins' early surge. Netminder Marc-Andre Fleury is doing his best to put last year's playoff disaster behind him, boasting a 9-2-0 record with a 1.81 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage. Columbus went through an offensive dry spell in mid-October but has rebounded with 15 goals over its last four games.TV: 7 p.m. ET, FSN Ohio (Columbus), ROOT (Pittsburgh)ABOUT THE BLUE JACKETS (5-6-0): Head coach Todd Richards has his team playing well - but he's still concerned about the impact a poor effort against a team like Pittsburgh can have on his players. "You better be ready to go, otherwise they can embarrass you," Richards told the Columbus Post-Dispatch after putting the team through a lengthy practice Thursday. "There's a fear of getting embarrassed there. It doesn't mean we need to take a back seat to these guys; it just means if you aren't on top of your game, if you cheat and you're not responsible with the puck ..."ABOUT THE PENGUINS (9-4-0): A wayward stick in the face from teammate Kris Letang forced Pascal Dupuis to remove a loose tooth himself while on the Pittsburgh bench during Wednesday's 3-2 win in Boston. "It was part of a bridge, so I don't think it hurt as much," star center Sidney Crosby told the Penguins' website after the game. "But I saw a steel rod in his tooth when it came out, so that's not something you see every day. So it was kind of funny, kind of gross. But it's not something that you see too often."OVERTIME1. Pittsburgh has won five of the last seven meetings, including a 4-2 triumph in their last encounter on Feb. 26, 2012.2. Crosby has three goals and seven assists in six career games against the Blue Jackets.3. Penguins F James Neal (upper body) has started working out but is expected to miss at least the next three weeks.PREDICTION: Penguins 4, Blue Jackets 2

I don't get it. I really don't get it. Apple claims Samsung is infringing on an ornamental design patent and a US judge halts the U.S. sales of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets.
Let me say it again -- a patent over ornamental design. We're talking about a slim rectangle with a touch screen -- something every company in the world is trying to produce -- and Apple cries foul against one of the tablets that is probably its biggest rival...but only against the first release.
This is just sad.
IBM never came out and stomped its feet when other companies produced laptops. So how can a judge (on that level) cave to a bully of a company who wants to make sure their toys are the only ones on the playground?
Bad precedent. Bad judgement. Bad. Bad. Bad.
All of this because Apple doesn't want competition. Apple knows that Android is quickly becoming one of the most wide-spread platforms in the world and will do everything it can to stop it.
One. Tablet. At. A. Time.
One. Patent. At. A. Time.
There was a period when everyone joked that Microsoft was going to patent ones and zeroes. Thankfully, Microsoft pulled back on that behavior, because they knew that, although it might help them win in a court of law, it would certainly cause them to lose in the court of public opinion. And just which is more important to a company? From my perspective, it would be the court which would give the company the biggest boost in sales. Yes, it's good to have the law on your side to protect you, but when your reputation begins to flirt with disaster, your sales will be damaged. The consumer is a fickle beast, after all.
But even beyond the possible hurt this behavior can put on sales, this type of action simply makes Apple look afraid. Like the Microsoft of the 90s (and to some extent even now), Apple wants to be the only player on the field. Some call that a monopoly. Some say a monopoly is illegal. But of course we all know how those types of laws can be bent by the court of law to suit the big boys.
I get patents. I really do. I have a particular something I am hoping to patent and sell. But patent law is a very slippery slope. You claim you invented the rectangle and want everything of that shape to be banned for sale and your image might well be permanently tarnished.
Apple needs to wake up and understand that bullying didn't work well for Microsoft and it won't work well for them. And we all know how important reputation is to Apple. Besides, once all those hipsters stop being fanboys of the Big A, whatever will Apple do?
I would like to think that someone would step up for Samsung and block this insane injunction. Of course if that were to happen, that $2.6 million dollar bond Apple had to post (in the event the ban proves unnecessary -- you know, should someone wake up and realize shiny rectangles shouldn't be patent-able) hopefully will compensate Samsung for all the lost sales.
What do you think? Is this slippery slope bad business for Apple? Or is it just another hiccup in a timeline that few will ever notice (besides Samsung)?
