Just finished my week long gig. While talking to some parents regarding their infant it dawned on me that one of the problems with America/Americans is PERFECTION. We want everything to be perfect - can't tolerate our babies spitting up (does anyone my age remember there being any mention of GERD years ago; if babies didn't spit up we wouldn't need "burp clothes"), purchased a home which you can't afford - let the govt. help me out; Doc C |

Doc when I was teaching I would have to deal with kids and parents who wanted perfect students. I had a book I would loan to parents at parent conference day about perfection and how to deal with it. I think at one time I had three copies . I can't for the life of me remember the title right now but it sure helped alot of parents deal and understand the problem. I had a little girl in my class one day that was trying to draw herself. She had a very detailed dress on that day. She was trying to get the dress perfect on the paper. Now I taught first grade gifted children. I looked at the drawing which was wonderful what she had drawn so far. I said what do you think I expect ? Picasso? You are a child. I knew the lesson got though to the others in class when I hear later in the year one kid say to another, "You know she doesn't expect Picasso. " I did that first time have to explain who Picasso was though. Susan |

Perfection is only perfection when it's compared to. . . imperfection, maybe? And though perfection is needed in things like weapons of mass destruction and surgery and stopping at stop signs, etc., it is the imperfections that give one character and something to strive against when aiming for perfection! In Civil War terms, we tend to remember McClellan for his imperfections before we credit his perfections (whatever they were!?). Pam |

Um, excuse me, but I simply refuse to allow good people to be called "bad apples" because they refuse to use closed-source software.
Well, IANLMcV, but IMHO he called "bad apples" those who instead of refusing to use the software, decided to break the license.
Now, I know "bad apple" sounds like name calling, but how would you define a community member that breaks a license?
The history of the BitKeeper "free" license is impressive: from almost OSI approved (source code provided, you must just keep the logging feature), to closed binary, to "don't work against us"... every change was the answer to somebody that didn't respect the previous license version.
So I really think that if nobody had broken the license[s], we would not be at this point now. And the whole community could still benefit from a "mostly free" BitKeeper (remember, the 1st license was almost OSI approved, you really had all the code!).
The kernel and BitKeeper part ways

Clarification: they decided to ignore illegal and thus meaningless clause in license (this exact part is uneforceable in a lot of countries - and by good reason).
Posted Apr 7, 2005 8:12 UTC (Thu) by Xman (guest, #10620) [Link]
Take a look at the license, if that clause is illegal then you throw out the baby with the bathwater: you don't have a license for the software.
In general the "it's unenforceable in a lot of countries" angle is silly. First, the relevant bit is what is enforceable in the relevant jurisdiction. Secondly, how would you feel about someone violating the GPL on the same principle?

Say you sell a product somewhere in the world and the law changes there to make one of your clauses invalid. Without a clause such as the one above, your *entire* licence has been cancelled and is no longer binding. Most people would prefer to have some form of binding licence that does whatever is legal, than no licence at all.
I mean, would Microsft prefer to have their entire EULA killed because the reverse engineering clause was ruled invalid. No way, they'd like any and all the other clauses enforced to the fullest extent.
Posted Apr 7, 2005 20:15 UTC (Thu) by Xman (guest, #10620) [Link]
I fully support a developer who chooses not to accept the BitKeeper license and therefore doesn't use the software, and frankly I suspect Larry would too. It's another matter entirely to accept the license in bad faith as demonstrated in this case. In pretty much any jurisdiction that would qualify as fraud.
There are ways to fight for freedom that don't involve that kind of behavior, and we ought to encourage them and discourage bad practices.

Should OSDL have complied? Essentially Larry was dictating who OSDL could and could not employ, not on the basis of work actually paid for by OSDL, but on work done on the side. Larry argued that it was a violation of the license, and he has the right to control his own software, so I suppose it was. Still, I think it would cripple OSDL if due to license restrictions they could not employ relevant developers.

Don't be ridiculous. You are trying to call reverse engineering a) immoral and b) illegal. When you know perfectly well that it is neither, when done for the purpose of interoperability. Which is the case here.
There is a reason why reverse engineering is legal: it helps keep people from gaming the system.
Posted Apr 8, 2005 21:22 UTC (Fri) by Xman (guest, #10620) [Link]
You are trying to call reverse engineering a) immoral and b) illegal.
Please try not to put words into my mouth. You got this from a quote which didn't mention reverse engineering. Indeed, the implication of what I was saying (and which I've stated more explicitly in other comments on this thread) was that I had no problem with a developer reverse engineering BitKeeper if they didn't accept the license.
I did suggest that accepting a license in bad faith is fraud, and I guess that's where you got the immoral and illegal from. I'm guessing you are throwing in with those who feel anti-reverse engineering license clauses shouldn't be valid, which is how that got in to it. Check the case history. You'll find that reverse engineering is not legal when it involved the breach of an implicit or explicit agreement between the parties involved or if improper means such as deceit are used to obtain the secret. The legal debate is about whether EULA's should be enforceable (UCITA clarifies that they are, but it still needs to be tested more in court), but if you like the GPL, you don't want to go down that path.
Now, if the developer in question accepted the license in bad faith and lied when explicitly asked to comply with the license, then that very strongly qualifies as illegal, and I'd be okay with throwing in immoral. If they didn't, then they aren't the "bad apple" Larry is suggesting they are. If you think it is legal and moral, then it follows that someone who accepted the GPL in bad faith, and lied when explicitly asked to comply with the GPL is also acting legally and morally. I for one, can't abide by that, and I'd be shocked if I was alone on that.

I did suggest that accepting a license in bad faith is fraud, and I guess that's where you got the immoral and illegal from.
On the other hand, making a license which contains stuff that's not enforcible, is also immoral and illegal. That's why contracts that contain such stuff are not enforcible, and any good contract contains a clause that makes the contract valid even though (removing the "bad apples" in the contract).
Further note that when you get a legal copy of a software without contract/license, you still can legally use, reverse engineer, patch, and resell that software (given that you don't keep a copy - that's basic copyright stuff). If you obtain the software from the copyright holder, it is a "legal copy". That's why any EULA or other license absolutely should contain the phrase that no matter what rubbish there's written in it, the valid clauses still stay valid, because otherwise, the customer has a much better position.
In the end, I'm very happy that this BitKeeper stuff happend as it did. I didn't understand why Linus didn't use any source management at all for a long time (even though in the beginning, CVS would have been completely sufficient), and any free tool he had used long enough would have scaled into what he needs now. Now, we've just 10 years lost (for the first 5 years of Linux), and have to play fast catch-up. The result will probably be two or three free distributed source repository systems which are all capable to do more than we ordinary users ever want. And no one ever again will depend important free software work on a non-free software.
Note: I usually tell people about contract clauses I'm going to ignore (if there's a general "ignore the rubbish" clause), or that signing the contract is a waste of time (when there's not). In the latter case, my response to such a contract will be rather rude.

It's hard to hold third parties to terms in an agreement made without them, and employment is a very tricky area. You can't just fire people because of a EULA.

OK, but my main point was that the first license was almost OSI approved. It didn't even mention reverse engineering, you had all the source code! You were only required to make it pass all regression tests after modifocations, including sending the changelog to the public server.
It has been when somebody abused of this license that we took the slippery slope that in the end brought us here...

licenses, contracts, and copyrights
Posted Apr 7, 2005 21:45 UTC (Thu) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link]
First, there are two entirely separate issues here: licensing under copyright law and contracts. You can't "break" a license, but you can break a contract. A license is never "binding" on a licensee, but a contract is binding on both parties.
You need a license from the copyright owner to copy something. You don't need to execute a contract with him. You don't need a license to use a copy the copyright owner gave you.
I'll take Xman's word for it that the mystery developer who spoiled it all got his copy from BitMover under a EULA (which is a contract) and assume that in the contract he promised not to reverse engineer. So copyright law and licenses have nothing to do with the controversy.
As for severability, if there's a law making the reverse engineering clause unenforceable, that law could easily also nullify any severability or backup clause, so we just don't know. Example: California has a law that says a loan contract of a certain type that states an interest rate of >10% is enforced as if it says 0%. The rest of the contract still applies. But if there's a clause that says if the interest rate is found illegal, then the loan must be repaid immediately, that clause gets wiped out by the same law. When people write laws to forbid people from agreeing to certain things, they don't mess around.

every change was the answer to somebody that didn't respect the previous license version
Regardless of who was "at fault" for the licence changes, this does highlight the desirability of using software with licences that don't change. Whether it's fair or not, I would choose to avoid relying on software if my ability to use it can be withdrawn because of the action of some third party unrelated either to me or to the vendor.
"If one of you doesn't own up, you're all staying behind after class". Is that a good situation to be placed in?
Almost is not enough
Posted Apr 7, 2005 19:00 UTC (Thu) by GreyWizard (guest, #1026) [Link]
Assuming that the free BitKeeper product is being withdrawn because someone violated the terms of the license (and that isn't entirely clear) BitMover is within its rights to do this and it even seems like the best business decision they could make under the circumstances. Still, many people who have respected the license are now losing something they have come to depend on due to the actions of "bad apples" they cannot control. This is the return on their investment in a "mostly free" tool.

NBA AM: Gerald Green's Crazy Ride
From Draft Pick, To Russia, To China and Back : It's hard to believe Gerald Green is just 26 years old. It seems like he's been in the NBA world longer than that, but the heralded leaper who came straight out of high school in 2005 has had a crazy NBA journey. After being as out of the NBA as anyone could be, Gerald Green finds himself in New Jersey with the Nets and he is trying to make the most of his opportunity.
"This is nuts," Green said to HOOPSWORLD, smiling as he reflected on how he got to the Nets.
"It's crazy but then again it's been a learning journey for me as far as just learning the game and learning how to be a man and learning how to be an adult, learning how to be a professional."
"It's been a learning experience for me and it's been a fun experience. It's been a sad experience and it's been a happy experience. It's been everything and above. It's been good times and bad times but I cherish the good times and I do cherish the bad times because I remember the bad times. I don't ever want those bad times to ever come again."
Gerald bounced around the NBA after being drafted in the first round in 2005, hitting on stops with the Celtics (who drafted him with the 18th pick), the Timberwolves, the Rockets, the Mavericks and stints in Russian, China and the D-league.
Gerald says in all of his stops he has learned that being a professional is not always easy.
"I'll try to be on time and try and be professional," explained Green. "Try not to let little things affect me on the court and off the court, just the little things. "
"When I was in High School, I was very immature not knowing. Young and dumb, stupid. Out of high school, not thinking I know everything but it was a different world. I just didn't understand. High School was an extracurricular activity, it's for fun. You play AAU… you're just doing it to hang out. Most kids like me do it to stay out of trouble. This is a business. "
For Gerald isn't necessarily a case of it coming too easy, because he says he worked hard to get to the NBA, but he admits he wasn't ready for the life in the NBA required of him.
"In High School I worked so hard. I really did," explained Green. "I worked real hard to get to this point and it seems like when I got here I just took everything for granted because I didn't know how to be a professional."
"In High School I didn't pay any bills. My mom did all of that. I didn't have to wake myself up to go to practice. My mom woke me up. She turned on the lights every morning and was like 'hey we have to go to school'. In the NBA my mom wasn't there. My mom wasn't there to wake me up and tell me 'hey you have to go to practice'. I have to. She wasn't there to make sure that I have to go work out. That's a part of being professional. I just learned that this is a business. I have to take this and I have to approach this like a job and I think that once I did that, me going overseas changed my life.
"It's so different as far as different opportunities, the different atmospheres and it's not where I wanted to be."
"I just tried to do everything possible to change as a person, change as a player on the court and off the court and I just prayed to god. Once I get my chance I'm going to try and do everything I can not to ruin it and I'm just thankful of what I'm having now."
The New Jersey Nets have guaranteed the balance of the season for Gerald and word is they will have a team option to keep Gerald next season as well.
"It's so special to me. If I could thank this team every day, I really would," explained Green. " A lot of teams passed on me. Every team in the league passed on me besides this one, every team. I didn't have any workouts besides New Jersey. I cannot believe I'm here. It's very shocking to me that I'm even here because I just never thought that I would be back in the league again."
"I'm just taking it day by day," said Green of his new lease on his career. "The team has embraced me I feel like I've been here all season with the way they treat me. I don't think that they want me to leave but that's just the way that this organization treats players. They embrace you, they bring you in and it's like family. "
"Early on you worry about what you're going to do or not, but it's always good to still be in the same situation that you were and that you dreamed about and having this good group of guys and a great organization bring you in like family. It turned out to be pretty good."
Gerald says he understands where he stands in the big picture of the NBA these days, but tries to focus on what he can control more than what he can't.
"I don't want to think about the future or think about how I don't know if I'm going to be here tomorrow," explained Green. "That's how I have to think… I think I have to try to take it day by day. I think that's how I'm going to take it the rest of my career. "
"[I can't] think if I do well we'll get in the playoffs or if I do good here, forget that. Just think about doing well each and every day. If it's practice, how can I preform in practice to get better? What can I do in the game to help my team win? "
"I've been taking that route every day since I've been overseas and this really helped my game. I think that's the mentality I'm going to take from now on, just as far as anything as far as getting a contract or getting better on the court, just take it day by day and when that day finally comes that's when I'm going to try and handle it. "
The hardest thing for NBA players' with guaranteed contracts is understanding that tomorrow is never promised, and for Gerald Green that's become a very real reality, something he thinks about a lot.
"I never would've thought that I would've been out of the league my rookie year," said a confident Green. "If you would've told me when I was in Boston, 'do you think you'll be out of the league?' – No. Or when you told me when I was in Dallas, 'hey, do you think you'll be out of the league?' – Oh no, there's no way."
"But this league is a league of talent. They get talent every year, players get better every year and if you take things for granted and don't continue to get better and not continue to dedicate yourself somebody's going to take your spot and that's what somebody did for the last three seasons. Somebody filled my place up and I was overseas or trying to fight my way back in. "
"That fighting your way back in, there's a lot of guys fighting. It's very tough but if you live your day just by making sure that you get better every day and take it day by day it's a lot easier than thinking about trying to work seven days ahead of you. It's tough… Just taking it day by day is always the easiest way for me. "
In 2010 Gerald was playing for BC Krasnye Krylya in Russia. In December he was playing for the Foshan Dralions in China. In January he was playing for the Los Angeles D-Fenders in the D-League. On Saturday he scored 16 points for the New Jersey Nets.
It's been a crazy journey for Gerald Green; he has come a long way since being the 18th pick in the 2005 NBA Draft.
Time For Some Call-Up Love: A number of NBA teams tried to solve roster problems at the trade deadline but swung and missed. There are a few guys killing it in the NBA development League and maybe the answer for some of those teams is waiting for a shot in the D-League.
Here are some of the names to watch as teams consider call-ups over the next few weeks.
Andre Emmett – 6'5 224lb – Forward
Avg: 23.6pts 5.8rebs 3.4asts 52.5FG% 44.9% 3PT%
Last Three:
26pts 3rebs 2asts 61.5FG%
21pts 6rebs 6asts 50.0FG%
24pts 3rebs 3asts 50.0FG%
Andre has been a monster in the D-League all year. More of a combo swingman that plays the two and the three, Andre has scored in double figures in all but one of the 30 games he's played in the D-League this year. He has an Efficiency rating of +22.67 on the season. He could start on some of the lesser NBA teams so it's simply a matter of time before Andre is on a roster. He's just too good to not be picked up.
Justin Dentmon – 6'0 185lb – Guard
Avg: 23.2pts 3.8rebs 5.3asts 46.5FG%
Last Three:
21pts 3rebs 12asts 50.0FG%
31pts 3rebs 5asts 52.6FG%
25pts 3rebs 8asts 50.0FG%
If your team is looking for a point guard, the best of the bunch in the D-League might be Justin Dentmon. He has scored in double figures in all but one of the 37 games he's played in the D-League this year and he can flat out score. He is a solid distributor and he is cat quick. His 6'0 listing might be a little generous, but on the court he is a solid guard and with guys dropping to injury around the NBA, Justin might be a smart call-up.
Marqus Blakely – 6'5 220lb – Forward
Avg: 16.2pts 7.6rebs 2.8asts 52.2FG%
Last Three:
18pts 7rebs 4asts 58.3FG%
21pts 12rebs 3asts 53.8FG%
24pts 11rebs 3asts 68.7FG%
The fact that Marqus Blakely is not in the NBA today is almost amazing. During the draft process Marqus was cast as a undersized power forward, when in reality he is a small forward and a pretty good one at that. Marqus has 21 games this season where he scored in double figures and has a +15.93 Efficiency rating. Marqus is not much of a perimeter shooter, but athletic and physical and scores within his game. The Houston Rockets gobbled him up last year, so expect another team to take a swipe at Marqus he is simply too good not to end the season on a NBA roster.
Derrick Caracter – 6'9 275lb – Forward
Avg: 11.2pts 5.4rebs .08asts 54.5FG%
Last Three:
8pts 2rebs 0asts 66.6FG%
20pts 16rebs 3asts 52.9FG%
11pts 2rebs 0asts 66.6FG%
DC was cut loose by the LA Lakers to open up a roster spot, and has been up and down in the D-League since. When DC is playing minutes he produces. However his PT has been spotty. DC is an NBA forward and he can score in multiple places. It seems like a matter of time before a NBA team scoops him up. He is a solid NBA big.
Edwin Ubiles – 6'6 204lb – Guard/Forward
Avg: 20.4pts 5.1rebs 3.3asts 50.0FG%
Last Three:
10pts 6rebs 2asts 33.3FG%
22pts 5rebs 1asts 52.9FG%
22pts 5rebs 6asts 42.1FG%
Edwin has been a monster in the D-League this year. He has 33 games where he scored double figures including a 41 point outing versus Iowa just after the All-Star game. He is swingman type that can play the two or the three and he can flat out score. Of all of the under the radar D-League guys Edwin is arguably the best of the bunch. It will be surprising if he is not gobbled up soon, especially as teams on the way to the draft lottery start looking towards next season.
It has become common practice in the NBA for teams to gobble up hot D-League players for the final days of the season so that they retain their rights for summer league and the off-season.
Most of those transactions land the player involved two or three days of pro-rated NBA salary and the chance to work with that team in the off-season.
As the season starts to wind down, don't be surprised to see teams with an open roster spot grab one or two of these kinds of guys if only to insure they get them for the summer. Their rights can also be used in off-season trades if they show real promise.
Derek Fisher: The Houston Rockets and former Laker guard Derek Fisher reached a buyout agreement yesterday and he was waived by the team.
Fishers' camp says he is unsure what he'll do going forward telling some that he wasn't sure if his heart was still in it to try and land on another team.
Fisher after all spent the entire summer fighting the NBA on behalf of the Players Association trying to reach a new labor deal. His season with the Lakers reflected that his game is going downhill pretty quickly.
So he is unsure what he wants to do next.
There are a couple of ironic twists to how this played out for Fisher, because the very labor deal he negotiated put him in the position to be waived.
Under the old labor deal if teams wanted to "buy" draft picks they simply wired over cash to a team and purchased the pick.
The new Collective Bargaining Agreement put a cap on what teams can include in deals in efforts to slow the out of control cash transfers, limiting it to $3 million total in any one given season.
However teams like Houston, which want additional draft picks have a new loophole… simply trade for a player worth the amount you would pay for the pick and buyout that player.
Fisher had about $800,000 left on his deal this year and a player option worth $3.4 million next year.
You can bet that the final number paid to Fisher is probably in the $3 million range, which is what first round picks usually sell for.
The other interested loophole that was closed in the NBA directly affects Derek Fisher too… Teams are no longer allowed to re-sign players they traded and get waived or bought out.
Under the old deal players could return to their old team 30 days after the trade that sent them out.
The new Collective Bargaining Agreement changes that rule pretty drastically.
Under the new deal, a player can return to his original team one year from the date of the trade or July 1st following the last year of his original contract.
In Fishers' case the last year of his contract ends on June 30th, 2013 – so he eligible to return to the Lakers the earlier of two dates… July 1, 2013 or March 15th, 2013.
Once Fisher clear waivers on Wednesday he can sign with any team but the Lakers and Houston – so he has options.
It's somewhat ironic that the deal Fisher signed as President of the Players Association put him in this position.
There has been talk that Fisher may opt to retire and re-join the Lakers as an executive or as a coach, there is no restriction on Fisher doing that.
The question is does Fish still want to play, and he'll have until Wednesday to decide what comes next.

Welcome to TUMCA -- The Texas Undergraduate Moot Court Association
Register for TUMCA Competitions
Tournament Results
Founded in 1993, TUMCA is the nation's largest moot court association, and holds the Southwestern Regional Championships from which teams qualify to compete in the national moot court championship tournament (ACMA).
Moot court is a competition in which undergraduates engage in simulated legal argument before a hypothetical appellate court reviewing a fictitious case. Students draw on a limited number of actual appellate court decisions to support their arguments. As the undergraduate moot court handbook, How to Please the Court , notes "In moot court, there is no trial. . . In a moot court, someone or something is protesting the validity of a trial court decision."
Students participating in moot court competition learn to argue about and interpret the law. TUMCA's goal is to provide opportunities for undergraduates to test their research skills, knowledge of the law and forensic abilities in a competitive environment.
Moot court provides perhaps our best pedagogical tool in preparing undergraduates for law school, graduate school, or the many career opportunities offered by governments and interest groups.
Enjoy getting to know undergraduate moot court through our web site!
The University of North Texas will be hosting the final tournament for the Texas Undergraduate Moot Court Association state tournament at the University of North Texas-Denton campus.

Published: 12/11/2012 10:58 PM | Last update: 12/11/2012 11:39 PM Defense triggers Sterling's 61-55 win over NickersonNICKERSON - For the first half of Nickerson's Central Kansas League opener against Sterling, it looked like its game to lose.But the Black Bears took over in the second half - particularly in the paint with 6-foot-5 forward Austin Maxwell - and shook off early foul trouble to pull away with a 61-55 win over the Panthers on Tuesday night.
But more importantly than all of the forward's buckets was the defensive effort he helmed, helping Sterling outscore Nickerson 34-26 in the second half to erase a two-point halftime deficit. "Defense was the key," Maxwell said. "The first four games we have not been playing good and finally we just played defense and it worked." But it was Nickerson (0-2), which kept the athletic defending Kansas Class 2A champions contained in the half court for much of the first half. Coupled with an offense that was capitalizing on all of its opportunities, the host Panthers asserted themselves. Senior Ryan O'Toole converted three three-point plays on hard drives to the basket in the first quarter alone to help stake Nickerson to a 15-13 advantage after the first eight minutes. But Sterling (2-3) elbowed its way back into the game with Maxwell and slashing guard Kirk Engelland leading the way. Both seniors had six points apiece in the second quarter to keep the Black Bears nipping at the Panthers' heels. And they did so by breaking Nickerson's defensive containment. "Transition defense was a problem for us," Nickerson coach Ryan Duft said. "First half, that's kind of where we let them get back in it. We didn't get back in defense. We were doing a pretty good job of guarding them in the half court but once they got going in transition, they got some easy baskets." Nickerson still carried a 29-27 lead into the locker rooms at half while Sterling's starters battled foul trouble. The speed of the game and numerous drives into the paint tagged Engelland and guard Jake Jaderston with three fouls. That signaled a need to change things up for Sterling. "That's probably going to be a theme for us all year - if we're in foul trouble, we're not going to be at our best," Sterling coach Derek Schneider said. And the Black Bears were able to tip toe their way around a fine line that balanced their pesky, attacking defense without catching the ire of the referees. They cashed in on five third-quarter turnovers by Nickerson to take a 15-10 lead. During a string of six possessions, the lead changed hands five times. But the final occasion - when Sterling went up 38-37 on a Maxwell bucket - was the final transaction of the game. The Black Bears led from there on out and made enough fourth-quarter free throws - 13 of 21 - to keep out of reach for Nickerson. "The reason I like tonight is we learned we've got to have that ball pressure in order to win yet we can't foul," Schneider said. "Tonight was a good step forward. Earlier we've been doing the opposite." Engelland added another 14 points for Sterling and did most of his damage by slashing into the interior where the Panthers struggled to find answers. "We gave up too many points in the paint tonight and you can't win when you do that," Duft said. "Our guards didn't do a very good job of staying in front of the ball and that gave some easy baskets to their post players and we had to help up hill." Sophomore Ethan Belden led Nickerson with 14 points and hit two 3s. O'Toole followed with 11 points and Joey Stockinger 10. Sterling girls 71, Nickerson 32: After trading the lead for most of the first quarter, Sterling mounted a 9-0 run and never looked back. The Black Bears had four players - Kylah Comley, Andi and Dani Dowell and Chelsey Riffel - reach double digits in points in the blowout over the winless Panthers. A 10-0 run by Sterling (5-0) to begin the fourth quarter gave them a 30-point lead to start a running clock and with seconds ticking off the clock they tallied another nine points, adding insult to injury for Nickerson. Comley's 19 points paced all scorers. Dani Dowell had 15 followed by Andi Dowell's 14 and Riffel's 12. Paige Stewart notched 10 points for Nickerson (0-4).

Statehouse gun-rights rally draws hundreds
The Daily Briefing
Buckeye Forum Podcast
The Dispatch public affairs team talks politics and tackles state and federal government issues in the Buckeye Forum podcast.
Your Right to Know
Anthony Marlow, a student at Ohio State University, holds an American flag waving from the barrel of a 12-gauge shotgun during a rally organized by the group Guns Across America at the Statehouse.
Several hundred people took to the sidewalks around the Statehouse today to spread their message
that responsible gun owners are nothing to fear and that sweeping gun-control proposals won't get
their support.
Organizers hoped to stage "Guns Across America" rallies at state capitals in all 50 states
beginning at noon. National organizers said they wanted the rallies to be peaceful shows of
support. The rallies come after President Barack Obama unveiled his proposals for gun control
earlier this week.
Matt Smith, from Cincinnati, helped to organize the rally in Columbus today and said he was
pleased with the crowd, estimated to be between 700 and 900.
"We wanted the message to be that gun owners are your neighbors, that we aren't too be
feared," Smith said.
Several hundred people in the crowd stood along High Street between Broad and State streets
with signs and flags -- in some places the line between the lawn and the street was seven or eight
deep -- spreading their message to passing motorists.
Others marched by the dozens around the block. The crowd was diverse, from men in Columbus
Blue Jackets jerseys and young children in stocking caps and cartoon-characters coats to elderly
women and businessmen in suits.
Luke Longshore came wearing his firefighters' union jacket and carrying a sign that read, "I'm
a firefighter, not a murderer."
The 23-year-old, who works for a private ambulance service in Columbus and lives in Delaware
County, brought his pregnant wife and their two young children, too.
He carried his Remington 1911 handgun on his hip. He said he came to the rally because he
believes in responsible gun ownership and the right to protect his family.
"America's gun owners are not a bunch of loners living the woods with our cameras and our
hundreds of guns. We're firefighters and lawyers and shop owners and bag boys at Krogers," he said.
"People needed to see us here today."
Columbus police reported no problems at the rally.
Authorities in other states where rallies were held also reported crowds of several hundred
Smith said organizers in Ohio accomplished what they set out to do.
"Everyone came with one goal," he said. "A lot of people made new friends who shared their
common goal."

We'll probably most surprising -- was just the fact that does credit is actually out there and banks themselves have been almost falling over themselves.
To lend to strong middle market and small businesses.
We've been hearing from small businesses really for years since the financial crisis really that there's so much uncertainty out there about where the economy's going.
And more recently with the political climate is going to look like that they're holding back is that.
They continue to be his story and then you can add regulations higher regulatory tightening well into that into that -- well.
What we call sort of the what now affect whether these stories about the health care reform act whether -- debt crisis the incoming.
Fiscal cliff or even now European crises all these things have played in the mine in the psyches of small businesses and has really contribute to their hesitancy.
Tomorrow at this time they just don't think -- need credit at this time to expand.
Right it's just -- a pile -- of bad news so.
What do you think business needs to get confident start borrowing money and against the backdrop right of our big -- today that jobs picture start hiring.
Sir -- sure -- I think really it's a string of good news -- so I think you know a consistent story where we're seeing.
The job number momentum I continue where we're seeing economic activity picked up even if it's in a few sectors to begin with but that will sort of build upon itself.
So there's a teen -- bank's survey that found 70% of respondents don't plan to hire one single person respondents business owners.
In the coming months despite 35% of -- feeling they are understaffed.
So -- better jobs report today if you just look at the payrolls numbers but.
It's really it's it's troubling and no one is confidently say looking for good news I mean do you see that happening any time -- -- before the election of the fiscal -- Now in fact we actually saw some optimism at the very beginning of 2012 and our research.
About what we found recently is again this just degree of hesitancy -- even those businesses are short staffed.
They've cut their operations absolutely to the bone at this point.
They're just waiting to see -- in this -- between the election again the fiscal -- coming either just not ready to get back out -- it is with their expectations of what's coming down the line.
And let's talk about the banks and interest rates everybody's buzzing about whether or not the Fed's going to act again with another round of money printing just to put it simply.
Yet it's almost.
Is it let me put the question -- -- is that actually a good thing for business because its business knows that rates are gonna stay low for a long period of time they have no motivation to act now is that a fair theory.
I think it's fair -- just a question is how competitive will banks being -- maybe I'm what we see is a lot of banks competing very heavily now -- terms of service that they can offer.
So rates are sort of the great equalizer in the marketplace right now.
Those banks are truly differentiate in terms of the services that they can offer our research shows will be those that a lot of companies to again most best assets -- credit.
I sent him -- check in with you -- next nerve agent Banfield thanks lot.
Thank you.
So coming up tonight on Monday we have Austan Goolsbee professor of economics.
The university of Chicago's Booth school of business he's -- join me to discuss the jobs number that's tonight at 5 PM eastern.
Right here on Fox Business the gap is -- -- with you that will be lively well I think we didn't want to set it up like that but but you know now you know that Isaiah and a former member isn't at all ancient thinking.

Can I put the title bar buttons in Unity on the right side somehow, or is that impossible?
You do this using gsettings:
or gconf-editor which has more complicated instructions listed at: http://handytutorial.com/move-window-buttons-to-right-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04/ | |||||||||||||
Configuration Editor > Apps > Metacity > General > Button layout edit key to minimize, maximize, close Log out or type | ||||
FWIW, hopefully this will save someone else who is googling this issue the time.. Ubuntu Tweak nor gconf-editor will fix this problem. Seems to be a known issue with Unity. Seems there is no solution in the works either. Closest thing I saw to a somewhat resolution. Seems to be pawned off on Unity: | ||||
Ubuntu Tweak can do that for you in the Windows Management Settings. You can get it at http://ubuntu-tweak.com | |||||
impossible as of now, and most likely it will stay impossible, unless someone wants to write a nasty hack. | |||||

For more than 60 years, the American Business Women's Association (ABWA) has pro- vided professional development and networking opportunities for women in business—both entrepreneurs and employees. Executive director René Street, who also has served as ABWA's marketing director and chief operations officer after working in the business side of health care, hires speakers for 15 to 20 events each year, including regional and national conferences.
In addition to heavier content, we offer lighter topics with a less serious tone. For example, we have addressed leadership through "Leading with Integrity" on one track, and "Motivation by Chocolate" on the lighter track.
How do you like to receive materials from speakers? I'm visual, so I like hard-copy packets, not links to a website. I prefer to receive materials by postal mail, not email.
Janet Bailey: What drew you to ABWA from the health care industry? René Street: The mission. ABWA's purpose is to mentor working women, to help them maintain and develop their professional skills and business acumen. I have had great opportunities and many mentors in my career and, hopefully, I can pay that forward.
What should speakers know about ABWA? Speakers should encourage ABWA audiences to take risks. Our members keep trying new things, whether it's interpreting a P&L sheet or adopting a new technology. We're saying, "You have to move forward or you'll be obsolete. This is no longer a time when you can be comfortable."
Do you prefer to hire female speakers? I hire as many males as females to speak. The important questions are: Can the speaker relate to an all-female audience? Does this person feel comfortable with an audience of women? Do the speaker's message and personality fit our association? After you deliver a speech, audience members like to come over and talk with you, so the speaker also needs to be social and gracious with members.
What else do you look for in a speaker?
It's nice to put smiles on people's faces,but audiences also need learning thatis directly transferable to their job,business or community. They need towalk away saying, "That was worth mydollars invested."I look for speakers who present onkey areas of business in a way that isunique and tailored to the adult learner.We offer MBA-level instruction onsubjects, such as strategic planning, mar-keting, communication, finance, HR,management and social media. Manyof our members have advanced degreesand want to hear those topics presentedin a way that is not dry or academic.
René Street is executive director of the American Business Women's Association. Street has collaborated with the U.S. State Department in supporting women's organizations abroad and recently led the creation of a new ABWA program, "Women as 21st Century Leaders," taught by a team of university educators. She serves on the board of advisors for the University of Kansas School of Management. Visit www.abwa.org.

As it enters its 30th year, Three Flames Restaurant presents a newly remodeled banquet hall and a cocktail lounge—creating the ideal setting for delicious entrees paired with a soup or salad buddy, both of which are made from different kinds of scratch. Stop by to sample a dinner menu of steaks, lobsters, chicken, and pasta. Get the ball rolling with fried calamari (tossed with fresh garlic and dusted with parmesan, $9.95) or a pair of crab cakes (with a spicy-sweet Asian remoulade, $11.95) before confidently tackling a signature entree such as the New York pepper steak (14-ounce char-grilled steak coated in black peppercorn sauce under chives and crumbled bacon, $22.95) and chardonnay chicken (in a lemon-wine sauce mixed with mushrooms and herbs, $16.95). If you long for your nostalgic childhood spent under the ocean, point your appetite toward the lobster tail ($24.95 for a small 6- to 7-ounce tail) or add bay shrimp to your tortellini Alfredo ($15.95). Three Flames has a wine to go with everything, so you won't have to get your feet purple squashing your own.
At House of Genji, talented chefs whip up sumptuous steaks, fresh seafood, and tasty fried rice before diners' eyes in impressive displays of dexterity. Each cook is part culinary master, part showman, and part Level 32 food wizard, slicing and dicing Japanese steak-house treats such as thin-sliced beef chiri-chiri ($17.95/dinner) in stunning tableside shows of fireballs, super-accurate food-flinging, and acrobatic knife work. Seafood and landlubbing fare peacefully cohabitate the list of hibachi delights, with juicy cuts of filet mignon ($22.95 for dinner) sizzling in an appetizing aroma alongside tuna steak ($23.50 for dinner). Each hibachi dinner arrives with an edible entourage of soup, salad, steamed rice, veggies, and piping-hot green tea, with most dinners available in teriyaki style. For an additional fee, customers can order the steak and lobster entree ($36.95) or Genji seafood combo ($37.95) for the hibachi dinner option.
This year, Izzy's Steaks & Chops celebrates its 25th anniversary, giving guests an excuse to reminisce about the technologies, events, and classical-music feuds that made 1987 twice as popular as 1983. Throughout the past two and a half decades, the folks in Izzy's kitchens have been grilling up the steaks and chops that they see as an integral part of Americana, along with freshly caught local seafood that's never frozen. All of their corn-fed Black Angus beef is humanely raised at Creekstone Farms, which is dedicated to beef free of hormones and antibiotics. The chefs transform those premium meats into their signature new york sirloin steaks, aged a minimum of 21 days, as well as cuts of slow-roasted prime rib and filet mignon medallions au poivre with pepper cream sauce. Double-cut pork gets a boost from spiced pear, and a lime-chive sauce adds tang to peppered swordfish. Each meal comes with a choice of two sides, such as creamed spinach, the chefs' signature potatoes au gratin, and french fries cut in the kitchen.
House desserts such as new york cheesecake and key-lime pie conclude meals or quiet whining choruses of sweet teeth. Wine, cocktails, and draft beers encourage diners to linger in the cozy space, and during brunch—served only at the San Francisco location—the bartenders mix up cocktails such as peach bellinis or gaelic coffee with irish whiskey.
The Van's has earned the admiration of diners and drinkers since 1947, though its historic teahouse structure dates even farther back—to 1915 when constructed to house a portion of the Japanese Exhibition at the Panama Pacific International Exposition. Perched atop a picturesque hillock, the restaurant's second-story dining room offers panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay and close-ups of crisp white linens, complemented by rich, Italian-inspired eats and select wines. The restaurant's bar area boasts the original wallpaper from 1915, as well as historic photographs in which the Peninsula's water incidentally looks the same.
The epicurean alchemists at Medallion Steakhouse start with organic produce, and grass- and corn-fed beef and chicken raised on local farms and transform them into fine, innovative dishes. Specialists tend the raw oyster bar, where guests sidle up to string necklaces of pearls from varieties such as Fanny Bay, Marin Miyagi, and Kumamoto oysters. With their appetites roused, diners then settle down into oversize booths padded with plush pillows to dig into farm-fresh entrees. Smells of sizzling 14-ounce grass-fed steaks and roasted chicken breasts from Petaluma Farms swirl through the air between the restaurant's exposed-brick wall hung with red-and-white-framed mirrors. A wall of white birch tree trunks and soft sounds of a waterfall's trickle keep diners comforted as they linger for a forkful of hazelnut dark-chocolate mousse and sips of spirits such as a 20-year-old tawny port and Godiva white-chocolate liqueur.
Imagine Affairs revitalizes the classic murder-mystery template with current-day touches: Scenarios reference the modern nightclub in which the audience and actors gather, and cases are cracked by CSI-style cops, not Holmesian detectives or omniscient robots. Meanwhile, the actors leaven the dire situation with doses of improv comedy and audience interaction, which lets guests become as entangled in plot twists as they want.

Wally Amos was born on July 1, 1936, in Tallahassee, Florida. He started in the mailroom of the William Morris Agency and in 1962 became the first black talent agent in their history. As an agent, he signed Simon & Garfunkel and headed the agency's rock 'n' roll department. In 1975, he opened the first Famous Amos store. In 1998, Keebler purchased the brand, keeping Amos as the spokesperson.
"I have a fetish for chocolate chip cookies. I think it's more than a fetish. I think it's bordering on being fanatical."
"I believe, along with many others, that you must first ask for what you want before you can have it."
"In some areas I am more noted for reading then I am for cookies!"
"Many who resort to crime ultimately can't read or write."
Early Life
Wally Amos, famed entrepreneur and founder of the Famous Amos chocolate chip cookie brand, was born Wallace Amos Jr. on July 1, 1936, in Tallahassee, Florida. Following his parents' separation in 1948, Amos was sent to New York City to live with his Aunt Della, who often baked homemade chocolate chip and pecan cookies. He later said of the experience, "We certainly had no monetary wealth, but Aunt Della's home was always rich in the principles and qualities vital to a child's upbringing. And it was filled with the aroma of her delicious chocolate chip cookies." Amos's penchant for cooking led him to enroll at the Food Trades Vocational High School, where he studied culinary arts for two years.
After a four-year stint in the U.S. Air Force, Amos returned to New York in 1957. He spent the ensuing years working in the stock room at Saks Fifth Avenue, and in the mailroom at the prestigious William Morris Agency. In 1962, following a number of promotions, Amos became the first black talent agent in the history of the William Morris Agency. Determined to make his mark by signing a blockbuster act, his tenacity was rewarded when he discovered the singing duo Simon & Garfunkel. Over the next few years, Amos headed the agency's newly formed rock 'n' roll department, where he worked with Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke.
Famous Amos Cookies
In 1967, Amos left William Morris and moved to Los Angeles, where he struggled to set up his own personal management company. Burdened with the debt of his failing business, Amos began to take comfort in baking chocolate chip cookies. Using a modified version of his Aunt Della's recipe, he planned to open the first freestanding cookie store. With financial backing from singers like Gaye and an innovative marketing initiative, which included an extensive advertising campaign and a gala grand opening, the first Famous Amos cookie store opened on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles in 1975. Within months, Amos had opened two more West Coast franchises, and the New York-based Bloomingdale's department store had begun selling the gourmet cookies.
Amos and his cookie empire enjoyed a decade of success. However, in 1985, mismanagement forced Amos to gradually sell off parts of his company. In 1988, a corporation called the Shansby Group purchased Famous Amos Cookies and successfully repositioned the brand image, changing it from a specialty item to a lower-priced product.
Legal Trouble
In 1991, Amos attempted to launch another cookie company, which he called Wally Amos Presents Chip & Cookie. The Shansby Group sued Amos for violating an agreement that forbade him to use his name and likeness on the packaging of any food products.

Buying a new pair of goggles can be daunting. With technology constantly changing there are many different styles and brands to choose from. Now, most goggles don't have the power to make you look like a movie star. They are made more for performance than style although some may be more stylish than others. Much of this has to do with your overall preference. However, choosing the right tint for your lense can either make or break your riding experience.
What conditions will you be riding in?
The type of tint that goggles have run on a spectrum. The darker the tint, the less light will transmit through them, whereas lighter tinted goggles will allow more light through. So if you are planning on shredding when the sun is at it's biggest and brightest, you would want to go with a darker tint. On the other side, it would be a better idea to buy lighter tinted goggle for tearing it up during times that lack sunlight. If you are looking for goggles that are more for all around riding, look into buying a goggle with more of an orange tint. This tint will make for a good all day riding goggle but is not the best in either light or dark conditions. One the bright side, some of the higher end goggles will allow for interchangeable lenses for more variety but they will also be more expensive.
How much are you willing to spend?
Price also matters when looking to buy a new pair of goggles. Like most other products, the more you spend, the more you get. What this means specifically with goggles is that the price is relative to the performance of the goggle. This also relates to the shape of the lense. Spherical lenses run a little bit more on the expensive side because they provide better peripheral vision. Most flat lens goggles still have many of the same qualities as spherical lens goggles such as, anti-fog lenses, 100% UV protection, helmet compatibility, etc.

Over the years, the Ute Indian tribal land got smaller and smaller and the animosity grew bigger.
In 1975, the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah sued the State of Utah, Duchesne County, Roosevelt City, Duchesne City and Uintah County over jurisdiction within the exterior boundaries of the original Uintah and Ouray Reservation.
After a 25 year battle, both sides came to agreements, both written and verbal about respecting land boundaries, and the case was dismissed in 2000.
However, the Ute Indian Tribe just re-opened the case in April 2013.
Randy Hunter with the Utah Attorney General's Office said the legal battle focuses on one question.
"The question is who has criminal jurisdiction within the Ute Reservation over tribal members," Hunter said.
A handful of Utes have been pulled over near U.S. Highway 40 by Utah Highway Patrol members or Duchesne and Uintah County deputies. The Utes believe their tribal police should oversee the cases, not the state and that tribe members should not be arrested if they are on Ute land.
"There has in fact been a cooperative law agreement for many years and the state is still prepared to honor that," Hunter said.
Hunter said the cooperative law agreement has expired and the Ute Indian Tribe is unwilling to renew it.
Depending on the outcome of the case, land could be taken off tax rolls, meaning the State of Utah could lose tax revenue on the land.
A preliminary hearing one the case is set for June 24. A judge is expected to first look at the cases involving the tribe members who were pulled over by state or county law enforcement officials before moving forward with the jurisdictional land dispute case.
