As other people more knowledgeable than me have written: - work on separating software IP law from biotech IP law, - make clear patents have no place in software IP law, - don't waste time trying to make software patents work.
Patents mean patent lawyers and patent offices. You can't get rid of them the way you can get rid of copyright lawyers by choosing a generic license (like GPL) and not reading protected software code. Regardless of whether you choose to pay patent lawyers to contest patents or prempt the fight by paying patent specialists to maintain a prior-art database you're effectively financing the patent system for zero win.
Prior art databases or patent pools aren't ways to get rid of the software patent costs. They're ways for patent lawyers and patent offices to make the ongoing costs indirect enough and diluted enough people do not notice them.
The OSDL does not have unlimited resources - every cent spent on this database won't get spent on other FLOSS initiatives. In other words, software projects will still foot the bill.
And it doesn't even remove the patent threat, as some patents will pass through the net and will be used against software projects.

> - work on separating software IP law from biotech IP law,
This would require pushing through changes in USPTO regulations, perhaps also legislation. All the earlier comments about resistance to such changes being funded by use of existing patents apply to this -- in other words, resistance to existing patents in the short term is necessary to have a decent chance of pushing through reform in the longer term. In addition, at best, this change would require years. Nonetheless, had you suggested this a year or so ago, I would have agreed with you.
However, in the past year, some biotech trends have become clear. Recent advances point clearly to a convergence between genomics and software -- in essence, each cell is similar to a computer, with its software coded in DNA and RNA. So with a lot of work and more luck than anyone deserves, yes, you might split SW and biotech IP law so as to remove biotech opposition to SW patent reform. But by then, biotech will have become thoroughly emmeshed in a situation very similar to that of software patents -- anyone with a modest computer would be able to crank out biotech patents.
So, by the time this approach bore fruit, the effect will quite likely be to to cut us off from a new-found ally in the form of biotech firms dealing with their equivalent to software patents.
> - make clear patents have no place in software IP law,
Easy to say. But I am afraid this soundbite does nothing to convince me that you (or your more knowledgeable people) have a plan that has a chance of making a real difference here.
> - don't waste time trying to make software patents work.
Not sure exactly what you are getting at here, but I am not trying to make them work, I am instead trying to prevent them from harming F/OSS in the near term. I am also trying to give badly needed reforms a chance of avoiding being drowned by lobbying paid for by patent litigation.
Your other comments seem to be based on a misunderstanding. I do not advocate things like prior-art databases to the exclusion of other approaches. Many different approaches are needed, working together, in the short-, mid-, and long-terms. But I believe someone else made this point some years ago. ;-)
You might also be well-advised to carefully study US Patent #4,135,240 (long since expired, so in my personal opinion no longer any danger, but you should consult your lawyer if you are concerned -- and I am not a lawyer). This patent was filed in 1973 and granted in 1979, quite some time before software patents were valid in the US. Yet this is the "setuid" patent that became so infamous in the late 1980s (yes, "setuid" as in the setuid bit in UNIX file permissions). So, if all we do is abolish software patents (and don't get me wrong, I fully agree that this would be a great and wondrous achievement), how many "software" patents would really be eliminated? What would patent lawyers do to "dress up" software patents so as to appear to still be legal? If you were to take a careful look at existing software patents, you would very likely find that patent lawyers have been doing such "dressing up" for quite some time. (Of course, you may wish to consult a lawyer before reading patents that are still in force -- probably safer to select one that has been allowed to lapse, for example, at the 3.5-year renewal point. But again, I am not a lawyer.)
Be careful. It is a real world out there. Don't try to program it like you would a computer. Unless perhaps you are a "corewars" programmer.

Which is exactly why accepting to fight on the patent lawyers field is ultimately a doomed endeavour. A clear "this is not patentable" order patent lawyers can not contest before judges is what's needed, not something they can wiggle out of because they know the rules better than your average judge or software person.
> Be careful. It is a real world out there. Don't try to program it like > you would a computer.
And how would you qualify software people that think with their feeble grasp of current IP law they'll be better able to make use of a prior art database than the patent sharks out there?
Sure they can build it. Just like an engineer can design a better gun than the model current swat team use. Does it mean that once the better gun is built and on the market the engineer has a fighting chance against swat people?
Posted Sep 22, 2006 19:10 UTC (Fri) by PaulMcKenney (subscriber, #9624) [Link]
Your swat-team metaphor applies to patent reform just as surely as it does to things like prior-art databases. In both cases, even the best of intentions do not necessarily lead to good results.
And refusing to countenance short-term action against patents will mean that your patent sharks will continue accumulating money with which to fight patent reform. If you don't like prior-art databases, fine and well. But tell us what short-term measures we should be using instead -- and why. The long-term strategies you are advocating simply cannot succeed without short-term action.

My. CAUTHORNE moved to reconsider the vote upon which the bill [H. R. 150] concerning partition fences was lost.
Mr. FANCHER said: The law now in force provides that in cases where there has been a partition fence, that one of the adjoining land owners may serve notice on the other adjoining owner to repair the division fence, and if he fails to do it, the party serving the notice may proceed to repair the same and recover the cost of such repair with 10 per cent. damages. So it can be seen that the law now in force only applies to cases where has been a fence. The amendments proposed will so change the law that after proper notice by one of the land owners and on failure of the other to construct a new fence within the time prescribed in the notice, the party giving the notice may repair the old fence or construct a new one, and recover the cost of constructing or repairing the same with 25 per cent. damages. The object of the amendment is to reach cases where there has been a partition of lands, and to cases where a portion of a farm has been sold at Sheriff's sale or tax sale and become vested in the purchaser, and to cases where there has been a division among portions of lands owned jointly, and to where the division line agreed on or, established by Court is fixed at a place where there has not been a fence before. It does not apply to lands unoccupied.
The motion to reconsider was agreed to, and the bill [H. R. 150] to amend Sections 16 and 17 of of an act concerning inclosures and partition fences, approved June 4, 1852, was read the third time.
Mr. MOODY--I am opposed to the bill. It seems seems to me it ought to be amended so as not to limit the time to fifteen days, or else the penalty be taken out. As it now stands, if a man does not construct the fence fifteen days after the notice is given, the adjoining land owner constructs the fence and collects cost from the party so refusing, with 25 per cent. penalty. I do not want to vote against the bill, but as it now stands it is too stringent.
The bill passed--yeas, 52; nays, 29.

Posted by Michelle Azar
There is a Sanskrit word I like very much. Drsti. Pronounced DRISTI. It means vision. This word is often used during asana, posture, practice to remind students where to place their eyes. Each posture has a complementary focal point, for instance, in downward dog, one is to look at the naval. Sometimes the posture calls us to concentrate on the eyebrow center , sometimes the nose. I would be lying if I said I knew the significance of each focal point in relation to the posture, but I like to think there is real magic behind the direction of that vision.
My teacher long ago said our drsti is to us what the stick is to the elephant in the market place. It give us something to hold on to during practice so that our attention does not wander. The trunk of the elephant when occupied does not reach out and grab at all the pretty bobbles around, but rather stays steady and on task as it moves forward.
So many things around us beg for our attention. It becomes more and more difficult to stay on track sometimes. Not only the immediate necessities, but the emotional world too vies is out there to tempt us away from our goal. One of my students noticed how deep his breath gets when he is really connected to drsti. His practice is erratic, but the drsti, complete. Full. The dark eyes of this businessman full with reflection of what drsti could mean in the world OFF the yoga mat, sometimes pop into my mind when I feel myself falter. The mornings that I jump absent-mindedly through some postures, or languidly without any conscious breath move through others, he offers me his Drsti.
And when bad news comes and I want to give in, his soulful observation of taking the drsti off the mat as they say, draws me in. There are many ways to say it. Just keep moving forward, the motto of many. But since I like this word so much, this Drsti, I figure I would offer it up this evening. In the face of much sorrow in the world right now, in the face of the earlier hours of darkness, the drsti can renew our hope. Inhalation begins movement, and exhalation lets the movement settle.Through breath and the focus of the eyes, we can move deeper into stillness. Deeper into the vision of peace.

Got something to say to your TV? Talk to the remote.
Talking to the remote that comes with most HDTVs would seem a little strange. On LG's Cinema 3D TV, it's a good thing. That's because that remote will actually respond.
LG just announced a brand-new Magic Remote for its passive 3D TV line. It's not totally new, but LG says that this latest remote has a new design. That will include four control options: voice, gesture, point and wheel.
Of course, the voice features are probably the most appealing—at least to those with a plain, old remote. This new one supposedly has better language recognition capabilities, which should make using the remote "simple, natural, interactive and conversational."
The real highlight is new Natural Language Recognition software, which allows commands to be more fluid. No shouting or awkward pauses are needed.
"LG is committed to providing innovative home entertainment solutions and the Magic Remote is a key pillar of the CINEMA 3D Smart TV user experience," said Havis Kwon, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company. "Building on an already impressive feature set, the latest version boasts accurate lan-guage recognition and its gesture, wheel and point control options makes the Magic Remote stand out amongst its competition as a truly intuitive device."
LG will ship two versions of the Magic Remote. One will come with LG's premium CINEMA 3D Smart TVs, while the other ships with the company's standard CINEMA 3D Smart TV models. The big difference is that premium remote has LED backlit buttons and a more compact design.

Blogging from the Luxury Summit: Exploring Modern Philanthropy
Filed under: Charity
The main focus of the American Express Publishing Luxury Summit this year was exploring the changing world of philanthropy. Luxury and philanthropy are a natural match but some companies are scrambling to show that they are doing their part for the greater good. The good news is that some are having a lot of fun doing it. If I learned anything this week regarding the new philanthropy it is that is has to be compelling and interesting for the companies and people involved. The start of the discussion on the new philanthropy was led by Lisa Gabor, the editor of the magazine just for American Express's ultra-wealthy Centurion card holders, Black Ink, Barbara Banke, who is the co-proprietor of Jackson Family wines and has also turned her talents to horse racing and Marjorie Federbush, President, Strategies and Synergies.
Philanthropy in the modern age is high-impact, hands-on and results-oriented. People are using philanthropy to continue personal and professional interests. Making it a way to explore hobbies or indulge at the same time as doing something for the greater good is one of the most popular ways to give, this is one of the reasons wine auctions and festivals work so well. The wineries and brands get visibility, the donors get a great time and the charities reap the benefits.

"love me some Stormy and Sparks"
"I didn't pounce, I was just striking a pose, really!"
So mommy researched a bunch of raw diets, and now she made raw food for us! She is hoping it will help with Ming's anal gland problem, but guess what? Only Lilly and I like the raw food, the big kitties don't. Mommy will have to trick them into liking it. Momma is so sick of not being able to find good dry cat food without fish or grain in it, and scared by the studies finding all the metal and radioactive crud in cat food. So, it is time. Mommy also knows how to raise birdies, and even found an electric egg incubator at a garage sale, so once we are all on raw, the next step will be raising our meat birds from egg to bowl. Mommy couldn't hurt a bunny, though, so no rabbit meat. It would probably be good for us to have some mammalian meat, but mommy has never killed a mammal and doesn't think she'd like to. That is a hard one. Maybe she can raise mice! Seems kinda inefficient, though. The wild ones would have fleas and wormies and may have ingested poison, though. Maybe mommy could raise nutria for us. I wonder how germy their meat would be. Maybe it depends on how clean their water is. Ok, sorry for the gross talk. Mommy is kinda a survivalist weirdo, MOL! She has been planning this switch for a while. -Andre
I just woke mommy up at 3 A.M. by taking a dump in her closet. She was not amused. She said I'm old enough to know better, and that even little Lilly doesn't even do that anymore. Although if I start doing it, Lilly probable will, to. Our litter is completely changed every day, and in addition, in the enclosed cat yard there are brand new pine shavings to poo in. It is inconvenient for mommy to be up so early today, because she actually has work and could use the sleep. Mommy hopes this isn't going to happen again. She just stopped locking Lilly and me in the bathroom at night, but may have to resume the practice. -Andre
Mommy butchered 2 more ducks today. When she chopped the pretty wings off, she tossed them on the floor for me and Lilly. She says they don't have enough meat to bother plucking. We went nuts, chasing each other around the house with those wings, and I gave such a happy chirpy meow when she dropped them, it was delightful. Why can't toy manufacturers come up with anything as delightful as a real duck wing? Such a simple thing. After we had our duck innards and played with the wings, we had a long nap on the bed, all piled up with Nikolai. We had a good evening! -Andre

An i mp roved technique which enables a doctor to look inside a patient's heart and more accurately pinpoint the trouble was described here Monday by a Texas cardiologist. The new technique involves the use of a precision tool known as a cinefluorograph, explained Dr. Carlton B. Chapman, Dallas, Tex., professor of medicine at the Southwestern Medical School of the University of Texas, and a featured speaker at the opening session of the New Orleans Graduate Medical Assembly. "With the use of this cinefluorograph, which takes movie X-rays of the heart, we can actually see the heart in action," added the cardiologist, who addressed delegates at the Roosevelt hotel. "We can watch the valves of the heart move, we can better* spot the various defects. "This is our own baby." And it's wonderful for^ helping determine the type ofj heart ailment, for helping de-i termine just how serious the heart ailment actually is." Dr. Chapman said electro-cardiography has reached a! sort of plateau. "But that when you combine the use of an electrocardio-a cinefuorograph and a technique used for determining pressure in the heart, you really have an almost unbeatable combination for de-j (tection," he added. Tubes Measure Speed Dr. Chapman said tubes are inserted inside the heart to determine the pressure within the heart and to measure the speed with which blood goes in and out of the heart. The cardiologist said great advances -have been made in heart surgery for patients suffering from congenital and valvular heart disease. "But we still haven't perfect-, ed the artificial heart—the pump! which takes over during surgery when it becomes necessary to stop the human heart," he added. "The pumps Delng used today are much better than they used to be. But they still aren't perfect. There are lots of bugs, which have to be ironed out." Dr. Chapman said "there's too much talk these days about people relaxing." He said "the relationship between nervous tension and heart disease has not yet been proved" and that "if everyone went around relaxing all the time, we would never get anything accomplished." 1000 Due to Attend The cardiologist is one of 19 top medical experts scheduled to address sessions of the convention, which is attracting more than 1000 physicians from all parts of the nation. During interviews and speeches, other convention speakers Monday said: 1. Some people commit suicide by willing themselves to die. 2. Some youngsters develop repeated "belly-aches" even though there is no evidence of physical disorder. 3. As new drugs are developed, an increasing number of people are becoming poisoned by them. In discussing "Physiologic Sui-cide," Captain George N. Raines, Medical Corps, U.S. Navy, told of repeated instances of persons wishing themselves to die. Deaths Unexplained "There are many unexplained medical deaths, which are actually due to suicide through the physiologic method," said Captain Raines, who is head of the neuropsychiatry branch, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, U.S. Navy. "I've known of many cases in which a patient actually committed suicide without external violence. This isn't a new phenomena, of course. During World War II and during the Korean conflict there were many cases of healthy young soldiers, who died, without apparent cause. Later autopsies showed absolutely nothing wrong." Captain Raines said countless, American soldiers died this way while they were prisoners ofj war in Japanese prison camps. "Dr. John Nardini, chief of the Naval hospital at Bethesda, Md., told me about them," added the Navy psychiatrist. "Dr. Nardini was also a prisoner of war. And he said these men would simply give up, wish j themselves dead and promptly die. But you also see this type1 of suicide in civilian life. There was the case of the woman patient, who dropped dead in a doctors office during the first 10 minutes of a psychiatric in-, terview. Her case was obviously one of suicide. Of course, I do not believe everyone can wish themselves dead. But since it is possible, the physician should be on the lookout for it. For if this tendency is recognized in time, something can be done about it." Captain Raines said voodoo victims come under this cate-| gory, as do victims of "boning," a custom followed by Central Australian tribes, in which j a tribesman points a bone at a fellow tribesman and wishes him dead. Child Study Told Dr. James Marvin Baty, of Boston, Mass., told of a study made of 43 children between the ages of 4 and 8 who suffered from recurring abdominal i pains, although there was abso-luately nothing wrong with them physically. "We examined these youngsters thoroughly and there was' absolutely no evidence of physi-jj cal disorder to account for these pains," added Dr. Baty, who is physiciain-in-chief of the Boston Floating hospital and chief of the Children's Clinic of the Bos-pon Dispensary. Dr. Baty said "in all cases, however, there was a history of pain climate in the family." "Someone in the family — mother, father, aunt or uncle — had suffered from abdominal pains," added the pediatrician. "And invariably these youngsters were small worriers. They'd worry about the mother j or father who had a belly-ache, j And, if one of the parents had to undergo surgery, the youngster would begin worrying that perhaps he too was slated for an operation." j Child Worriers I Dr. Baty said there was one 5-year-old who worried constantly about death; a 6-year-old who kept worrying about family finances and kept fretting for fear the day might arrive when the family wouldn't have enough to eat. | "Sometimes," added the pediatrician, "apprehension on the part of the parents had carried over to the child. There was one father who was worried for fear his child would inherit his ulcer. What to do about such cases? Well, we assured both the parents and the children that all tests were negative anc that there was nothing wrong with their children. When both child and parent became convinced, the abdominal pains eased." Dr. Herbert Rattner, a Chicago, 111., dermatologist, said drug eruptions are recurring these days with increasing frequency. "Never before in history have so many drugs been taken by so many people," added Dr. Rattner, who is chairman of the department of dermatology, Northwestern university Medical Center. _The dermatologist said "never before have so many new drugs' and mixtures of drugs been introduced" and that "there isn't any drug which does not make someone break out." Aspirins May Be Cause "If a drug doesn't make someone break out, it is not a very good drug," said the dermatologist, who is chief editor of the A. M. A. "Archives of Dermatology." "Drugs taken most frequently such as aspirin, penicillin, sleeping pills and 'happiness pills' naturally cause the most trouble because of their very frequency." Dr. Rattner said there are no known tests in which it can be determined ahead of time whether a patient is going to break out from a certain drug. "Once you've broken out, of course, the best treatment is the antihistamins or, with caution, the steriods," he said. "A new drug called penicillinase is said to help overcome penicillin reaction." Dr. Perrin H. Long, Brooklyn, N> Y., said that "during the past 10 years there have been practically no drugs which haven't produced poisonous reactions in some people." "But although modern drugs produce more reactions, by the same token they do more good," added the physician, who is chairman of the department of medicine at the State University of New York College of Medicine. , Dr. Long said 50 per cent of the drugs used 10 years ago are not even in use today, so rapid is the turnover. He said that in cases of pneumonia and meningitis, a doctor will take a chance even though a reaction may follow.

Everytime before I go salat, I go to the toilet and mostly urinate. I put a men's pad (I'm 15 years old) because everytime I urinate, my penis drips. The pad is there so the dripping goes onto the pad not my underwear. But when it's not salat time, and I go to urinate, I don't put a pad and I drip into my underwear. After a few mins the drips in my underwear dry out. I have been told by my parents that I should now wear a pad everytime after I urinate. It's very annoying for me to put a pad and is there a way to stop the dripping? |

[ locale string ]
We are showing you the Taiwanese version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Thank You Rockies
Photos by Dan Sharp
Words by Joe Staples and Carey SH
Where to start?
We could talk about how we rode 55miles of gravel when none were on the route. We could talk about how the day was supposed to be 84 miles but turned out to be 104. In all honesty, for this to be anything but a "thank you" to the locals we met and chatted with, who directed us, would be to overlook the amazing gifts they gave.
It started the other night when John, a local rider invited us to his house for dinner in Durango, CO. Ben had met him on a ride in Los Angeles and promised we would all meet up. His friends told us about roads, GRAVEL roads that could take us to Pagosa Springs our designation city for stage 5 of Ride the Rockies. We remembered the road names.
To John and his friends, Thank You.
The morning of stage 5, Durango to Pagosa Springs, Rob, the owner of Bread a local bakery made us an amazing breakfast; told us 30 stories in 30 mins and introduced us to a 65 year old who raced 6-day races in Belgium.
And, if the day couldn't get better, 60 miles into our ride, on a 45 mile section of our gifted new amazing gravel route, under scorching sun we were passed by the first vehicle we had seen in 20 minutes. The driver's name was Joe Chavez. At that point, none of us knew him but because Carey said hello and grabbed onto his truck while we were rolling, that all changed. 15 minutes later we were sitting on the porch of his log cabin, playing with Rocco his dog, drinking cold Pepsi's. We were listening to stories about the local Elk and watching fellow Continental riders cool off in his freezing river.
To Joe Chavez, Thank You.
This week has been a journey, and it is not over yet. If we have learned anything in these 6 days it is that when locals talk, you should listen.

Diagnosing Crohn's Disease
There isn't any one test that can tell you whether or not you have Crohn's disease. And Crohn's disease has many possible symptoms that are the same as symptoms for other health problems. So, to make a diagnosis of Crohn's disease, your doctor is likely to gather information from multiple sources. You'll probably go through a combination of exams, lab tests, and imaging studies with these goals in mind:
- Rule out other health problems that have similar symptoms
- Make a clear diagnosis of Crohn's disease
- Determine exactly which part of the digestive tract is affected

The Best Science Visualizations of the Year
Browse through the winning images that turn scientific exploration into art
- By Laura Helmuth and Sarah Zielinski
- Smithsonian.com, February 15, 2012
(Image courtesy of Emiko Paul, Echo Medical Media)
The annual International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge, presented by Science magazine and the National Science Foundation, shows off scientists' artistic side. What makes the winners stand out, says judge Corinne Sandone of Johns Hopkins University, "is the initial visual impact" followed by "a certain depth of information . . . the quality of the image and the aesthetic decisions."
In one of the more sci-fi of this year's illustrations, green antibodies attack a tentacled breast cancer cell.
Comments (8) |
Regarding The Best Science Visualizations of the Year: I have an idea for these educational images. I have two kids, ages 3 and 5. We visit the National Museum of Natural History quite often. They removed the Titanoboa exhibit about two months ago and there was empty space. I went there again this past weekend and it was still empty! They filled the space with benches and houseplants. What a waste. These images are amazing and could be a temporary exhibit. Print huge images of the best science visualizations and display them. That is much better than benches and houseplant, and probably cheaper too. I love Smithsonian. You guys are awesome.

Based on flakes of titanium-aluminium-carbide (Ti3AlC2). When the researchers removed aluminium a new two-dimensional material remained. In the two-dimensional structure, the electrons travel 100 times faster than in silicon, today's dominant semiconductor.

A master was asked by a curious monk: "What is the way?" "It is right before your eyes," said the master. "Why do I not see it for myself?" asked the monk. "Because you are thinking of yourself," said the master. "What about you," said the monk, "do you see it?"The master said: "So long as you see double, saying I don't, and you do, and so on, your eyes are clouded." "When there is neither I nor you, can one see it?" said the monk. "When there is neither I nor you, who is the one who wants to see it?" replied the master.
Yes, the Way is right before your eyes. But your eyes are not right before the Way – they are closed, closed in a very subtle manner. They are clouded. Millions of thoughts are closing them, millions of dreams are floating on them; whatsoever you have seen is all there, whatsoever you have thought is all there. And you have lived long – many lives, and you have thought much, and it is all gathered there in your eyes. But because thoughts cannot be seen you see your eyes as clear. The clarity is not there. Millions of layers of thought and dreams are there in your eyes. The Way is right before you. All that is, is right before you. But you are not here. You are not in that still moment where eyes are totally empty, unclouded, and you see, and you see that which is.
So the first thing to be understood is: how to attain unclouded eyes, how to make eyes empty so that they can reflect truth, how not to be continuously in a mad rush within; how not to be continuously thinking and thinking and thinking, how to relax thought. When thought is not, seeing happens; when thought is, you go on interpreting and you go on missing.
Don't be an interpreter of reality, be a visionary. Don't think about it, see it!
What to do? One thing: Whenever you look, just be the look. Try. It is going to be difficult, difficult just because of old habit. But try. It happens. It has happened to many, why not you? You are no exception. The universal law is as available to you as to a buddha or to anybody. Just make a little effort.
You see a flower: then just see, don't say anything. The river is flowing: sit on the bank and see the river, but don't say anything. Clouds are moving in the sky: lie down on the ground and see, and don't say anything. Just don't verbalize!
This is the deepest habit, to verbalize; this is your whole training – to jump immediately to words from reality, to immediately start making words: "beautiful flower," "lovely sunset." If it is lovely, let it be lovely! – why bring in this word? If it is beautiful, do you think your word "beautiful" will make it more beautiful? On the contrary, you missed an ecstatic moment. The verbalization came in. Before you could have seen you moved, moved in an inner wandering. If you go too far away in this wandering you become mad.
What is a madman? He who never comes to reality, who always wanders in his own world of words – and he has wandered so far that you cannot bring him back. He is not with the reality, but are you with the reality? You are not either. The difference is only of degree. A madman has wandered very far, you never wandered that far – just in the neighborhood – and you come again and again and touch reality and go again.

I think this was a good idea.....................some people with families don't want to be in the spotlight and have media people and people off the street knocking on their doors to do interviews or begging for money. Some people also like to live a humble lifestyle even after a big win.......................
I think setting up a trust and letting businessmen claim it is a good idea
Big Wins For All!
IMHO, the theory of these 3 guys fronting for the real winner is very plausible.
I'm curious as to wether or not the real winner initially approached them (as professional money managers) to manage his newly gained wealth for him/her, and did they subsequently float the idea to the real winner for them pose as the winners?
Because it took approximately one month for them to surface, I don't believe these three professional money managers didn't discuss amongst themselves, the subject of them having their lawyer state only one of them purchased a one dollar QP ticket, and that it wouldn't be questioned.
Looking at it a different way, they're money pro's. What money pro would form a "loosey-goosey" undocumented everyday/ordinary workplace lottery pool (that's typically formed by people who aren't professional money handlers), and only have a total of one dollar in the pool? C'mon Man!
Winning a Jackpot - unlikely but POSSIBLE!
Asset managers accused of fronting for real $254M Powerball winner
Regardless of whether the winner was poor or rich before winning this jackpot, it was wise to get a lawyer and a money management team to front of him/her to make the claim. He/She has avoided what Jack Whittaker of West Virgina went through when he claimed his PB jackpot in person with his family.
* The fundamentals of winning a lottery jackpot * * play a lottery you can win *
Right you are!
Smart move on their part. Now they don't have to worry about all the sob stories and people begging for money.
"We make a living by what you get, You make a LIFE by what you give!"
Sir Winston Churchill
It did seem unusual that an asset firm that won twice as much money in a lottery win than their workplace possesses would give most of that money away. I mean they could've used that money to increase their business tenfold and then have enough money to get really charitable. But then what do I know about how money works? It makes sense now but I fear that taking back their original plans to donate the money to charities is going to come back and bite them. The majority of the public will not take that news well. Some might end up suing the firm and demand the lottery winner give the money to charity as originally promised. It kinda sucks but one should never say they're going to give that money to charity and then take it back. Things are going to get ugly.
atleast the lost ticket mystery has been solved,good luck to the REAL winner
Some might end up suing the firm and demand the lottery winner give the money to charity as originally promised.
I don't recall anyone but the lawyer saying anything, the three money managers or their client didn't say anything. Besides, what charity would they sue for except themselves?
Why is this being spun as a negative thing? I know a girl who won $3 million in the NJ lottery and she was hounded so much by people wanting her to buy products and services that she was sorry she won.
Why is a winner sometimes expected to give money to charity? It's bad enough he/she has to give plenty to the charities called the U.S.Government and the State of Connecticutt. Are the charities willing to reimburse him for all the lottery tickets he/she bought over the years to finally win? I bet no one offered to give he/she money to play the lottery, but now that he/she is a winner, everyone would have had their hands out for a piece of the pie, but this winner is too smart for that!
There's one of those for almost any jackpot that goes a week without being claimed.
I agree the theory of them fronting for the real winner is probably what happened, but, here's a scenario where they could have formed an impromptu pool: maybe they just pulled up to get gas, went in to get a drink or smokes or something, saw a lottery sign promoting how big the jackpot was, joked they should go in together to buy some tickets, but since they don't usually carry cash because they use their debit/credit cards for everything since it's much easier to track and receipt things, between them they only had less than $2 in change so they could only buy 1 ticket, since it was an impulse buy, they didn't think anything more about it until the next day when they heard someone won.
I agree with you!
There's not stopping beggars and people looking for handouts from hounding the money managers for money but they might look as silly as a person trying to make a redraw from a bank in which they have no account.
I don't see anything wrong with the real winner wanting to remain anonymous. setting up a trust fund was a excellent way to go. These gentlemen were only respecting their clients wishes . without their help , the true winner wouldn't have been able to stay out of the limelight, now this person is hassle free. Congrat's to the true winner no matter who you are. The celebration is for the true winner , the violin is for any one who can't understand this wants to keep a private live!

This is a really good and easy recipe! I also used 3/4 cup of coconut oil instead of butter and instead of raisins I used 1/3 cup dried cherries and 1/3 cup chocolate chips. I will definitely make these again!
Sue April 14, 2013
Absolutely fabulous. Crunchy outside, moist and chewy inside. I added butterscotch chips instead of raisins.
Elizabeth May 4, 2013
Use gluten free white rice flour instead.....they will taste so much better. Delicious recipe after you make that change.

Fish and heart health
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
15 comments posted
A new study has again confirmed that fish is heart-healthy. So what's new about that? This study looked at how often fish was consumed, the types of fish and even how it was prepared. Data were collected from food questionnaires completed by 84,000 postmenopausal women. Here's what the study found:
- Frequency. Women who ate five or more servings of baked or broiled fish a week had a 30 percent lower risk of developing heart failure, compared with women who rarely or never ate fish.
- Preparation. Eating even one serving of fried fish a week was linked to a 48 percent higher risk of heart failure. Frying fish increases trans fats, which researchers speculate may contribute to an increase in risk for heart disease. Low-fat cooking methods, such as baking, broiling, grilling, poaching and steaming, don't produce this effect.
- Types of fish. Eating baked or broiled dark fish, such as salmon, mackerel and bluefish, was associated with a 22 percent lower risk of heart failure. That was not true for tuna and white fish, such as sole, snapper and cod.
- Omega-3 fatty acids. Researchers also looked at omega-3 intake from sources, such as fish oil supplements, vegetable oil and other plant products. They found no association between these omega-3 sources and heart failure risk. This suggests that whole fish — not just omega-3 — provided the protection from heart failure.
The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend increasing the amount and variety of seafood in your diet by choosing seafood in place of some meat and poultry. So, up your intake of fish — especially salmon, mackerel and bluefish. Here are a few low-fat recipes to get you started. Share your favorites too.
- Salmon — Brush with maple syrup and grill. Top with zest of lime or lemon.
- Mackerel — Brush with a little olive oil and season with lemon pepper, then broil.
- Bluefish — Brush with mustard and bake.

"God will ask you on the day of judgment, 'Where were you when your people were asking you ... when your school fellows were asking you and when your school was asking you ...'Why I am being blown up?'"
Like father, like daughter
In January 2009, Malala and her father sat in their living room drinking tea and eating beef and curry stew.
It was the night before the Taliban had issued their edict against girls in school.
Ziauddin Yousufzai was beside himself. He knew he would have to close one of the private schools he ran for girls.
He knew it meant his daughter's education would come to an end.
Yousufzai grew up in the Swat area with little access to educational resources, but he had a natural passion for learning and literature. He was devastated that his daughter would be robbed of those pleasures.
That's according to Adam Ellick, a reporter with the New York Times who filmed a 2009 documentary about Malala and her father and the Taliban's campaign against girls' education.
Ellick spent months with the father and daughter and formed a deep friendship with them.
"Ziauddin had a revolutionary zeal and deep commitment to education," Ellick said this week. "This charming little girl, she is a mini-version of him in many ways. She loves school, homework. Whenever she would meet me she had a bookbag full of books."
"She didn't have that idealistic activist attitude when she's 10 and 11, because who does?" Ellick said. "Her situation demanded that she grow up before she should have. She caught his contagious commitment and idealism."
In the family's living room in 2009, Yousufzai lovingly put his palm atop his daughter's head.
He said he fell in love with her the minute she was born.
"A newborn child ... I looked into her eyes," he said. "I love her ... I love her."
Yousufzai explained what he thought of the Taliban, revealing a daring spirit.
He felt enormous pressure, but the family wasn't going to just leave Swat.
That was not what he was teaching his children.
"(The Taliban) left my people in hard days," he said, trying to find the right words in English.
"I should be beside them. This is my duty. And if I die for it, I think there would be no better chance for me to die than this."
Hundreds of schools torched
It was, without a doubt, a huge risk to educate girls in Swat around this time.
One need only look at the headlines in the region. "Militants destroyed 125 girls' schools in 10 months,' the Pakistan newspaper Daily Times reported in August 2008.
Human rights workers and aid agencies held a seminar in the area in 2008 to try to voice their concerns. They said Pakistani politicians and leaders were not listening.
Between 2007 and March 2009, 172 schools were shelled, blasted, demolished or ransacked. About 23,000 girls and 17,000 boys could no longer go to school, according to the United Nations High Commission on Human Rights.
In October 2010, months after massive floods caused widespread devastation in Pakistan, the Taliban stepped up its bombing campaign against schools that defiantly continued to educate girls.

An interesting article over at Elite Bastards has revealed that NVIDIA's latest 169.04 driver for its GeForce series of graphics cards may in fact be sacrificing image quality in the new Crysis game in order to gain better performance. If you look at the first two images below, you will see quite clearly that the reflections in the water have been unrealistically stretched and look quite odd. The obvious explanation for this would be that NVIDIA's new driver is having issues rendering the shadows and you'd expect the company to fix it. However, this issue may run a little deeper than that. When the Crysis executable has its name changed from crysis.exe to driverbug.exe, these strange shadows mysteriously look normal all of a sudden, as shown in the second two images. Further tests revealed that the renamed executable was actually performing around 7% worse on a number of tests using both an 8800 GTS and an 8800 GT compared to the default name. So it seems that NVIDIA has tried to subtly increase the framerate when playing Crysis using its cards at the cost of image quality, without giving customers any choice in the matter. Some sites are claiming that NVIDIA is using driver tweaks to 'cheat' and gain better performance, and whilst that may be an extreme way of looking at it, this certainly seems like more than just an accidental driver issue. Source: Elite Bastards
Nvidia has always sacrificed image quality for performance. That is the main reason I will always run ATI cards because I'd rather lose a few FPS for better IQ. I would not call it cheating, but it's just another MAJOR reason to not use online benchmarking results to definitively define which card is best.
So an ATi 2900XT would have less framerates than an 8800GTX, but the game/benchmark would look better, yar?
This is really not news. Its been pointed out alot of times in the past that NVIDIA does this. The alst NV card I had was a FX-5500 back in '04. I've bought ATI ever since. Sure, ati may come in behind a couple FPS on the stupid graphs and charts that NVIDIA is so bent on dominating. But I'll say this: I've never regretted a purchase I've made from ATI: (x850xt, x800gto, x1900gt, x1900xtx, x1950xt,x2600xt,x2900xt) are all great cards.
i cant believe this if this still in the retail and drivers or no good i think my next card is a Ati one i mabye even go cancel my pre-order
Looks like i might have to order a ATI card when some better ones come out, 'cause upgrading my 8800GTS would be a bit stupid atm. If only my X1950Pro hadn't blown up ... Is this only happening in Crysis?
The only difference I can see is in the second and last one. Never would notice something like that while playing. Go nVidia!
Hmm... I personally would rather sacrifice IQ over frame rates in this case... Crysis has such low frame rates as it is on some of the best cards out there so why anyone would complain about this is beyond me. Low frame rates in a multi-player game could mean the difference between killing or being killed.
Subtle things you'll never notice. Well turn off AA, and AF and put mip mapping at medium and ATI is the best choice still.
To the people in this thread that do not care about IQ. You should just run your game at 640x480 on all low textures to speed up your game even more. This is PC Gaming, we expect notting but the best in our games!!!! Take my frames and give me the IQ!!!!!
"you will see quite clearly that the shadows in the water have been unrealistically stretched and look quite odd." I looked at the shadows for a long time and didn't see anything wrong. Now if it would read REFLECTIONS in the water, I would have spotted it instantly
If I hadn't of broke my Hard Drive last night I would show you some good ss of that res Ravens. all 1280 x 1024 I had 100s more, but I lost them all......
You can definitely see the fanboys here... . The AMD guys are saying "Oh man I'm so glad I have an ATI card, it rocks my socks, and NVIDIA doesn't do this performance-for-quality crap to me". The NVIDIA guys are saying "Yeah, well we at least HAVE awesomely l33t performance!" Really though, fanboyishness aside, I think this is a pretty sleazy thing for NVIDIA to do.
I wouldn't say fanboys...just differences in people who like quality parts...also you can't say ATI doesn't do what nVidia did. ATI has optimized drivers to work with specific games. Its just funny that when a company releases an awesome product that blows the competition out of the water people freak out trying to make up stupid excuses. And no, I'm not a fanboy, I use ATI and nVidia and I love both of them. Both manufacturers base their drivers on executables for games to increase performance, so this whole "nvidia cheating" crap has to stop. What's next, Intel is cheating because they're kicking AMD's ass because they have better cpu technology? It just bothers me that people will go to these lengths for stupid stuff like this...Every company has its ups and downs yet its always the successful ones that are blemished in the public eye.
That's a stupid thing to say, no one is talking about turning those specific features off here. nVidia realized a small thing like shadows was lowering performance and made a decision that the frames lost were not worth it, and I wholeheartedly agree. I don't even notice a difference.
You may loose a very slight quality, but your pictures are very similar to those in the originals at the same res.
This is no real change though, nvidia has always done this. But tbh at least they are trying to improve things with whatever means possible so I have no problems with this... I wish they would give the option to enable "FPS mode" rather than just make the decision for us though!

Unexpectedly, I might have found the best beginner-tower route in the desert. Its not long, its not difficult, and its easy to find. I give it three stars but I do so stating ITS A BEGINNERS CLIMB. If you are looking for long, endurance pumping splitters on your tower, this is not it. INstead, this climb is marked by short pitches of pleasant climbing, a little slot canyon, and an untramelled valley. The finish is great and there is no questioning it is a tower. It has great rock, unique features, and then some soft rock and some lose blocks... All stuff you will need to negotiate when tower climbing Find the start, and a plaque, beneath a corner on the far right side of the formation. P1 Climb the corner on hands and finger gear. ITs only about 30 feet to a fixed anchor on a ledge. 30 feet5.9 Proceed back in the slot about 80 feet to a crack that runs up through some huecos and a chimney on the right. P2 Climb the crack on fingers and hand gear. Its easy, but a little soft. The huecos are cool. Create a belay on the ledge above in the hanging valley. 45 feet, 5.4 That pitch put you in the hanging valley. There may be an easy 5th class way down into this valley from the rim, but you would spend a while trying to find it. Really, the only way in is to climb. However, its not a private place. The Jeep Trail from Monitor and Merrimac Buttes that reaches Uranium Arch comes right to the rim above the valley. Anyway, facing south in the little valley, you are looking at The Seminary and the back side of The Academy. Walk about 100 feet towards the gap between the two to find the base of pitch 3 P3 Climb the hands and fingers corner to the summit ridge. The flaring pod near the base is good training, as these come up on every tower. If you aren't comfortable with arm barring, you might want a #5. The rap anchor is on the ledge above. 60 ft, 5.9 To summit, you have to climb the last 10 feet of 5.6 sans bolts... and then you have to reverse it. Also something common on towers, but often with a harder grade attached. I spaced the summit register... hope to send one up with someone. The descent means climbing back down to the ledge, then rapping to the base. Its a big, airy, rappel. Fun.
The start is on the right side (north end) of the tower, but the route climbs up behind the entire formation.
I did the climb with two complete sets from .5 to #5. The emphasis is on finger sizes, like 1's, and hand sizes, like 2.5's. If you are comfortable on those sizes you don't' need much. A #5 is useful on pitch 3 if you are uncomfortable with that size. You need two 60 meter ropes to reach the ground safely. Its a full 192 foot rappel.
I actually went up on this tower hoping to find some hidden slot with a few cool cracks... the mirrors of the cracks that are on its front side. What I found was what I think will be a great route for aspiring tower climbers. ITs got short pitchs, its relatively solid, and the climbing is pretty easy. It definately gets you to a summit.
This is a great climb! My first tower in the desert, and it was fantastic. The rappel was amazing. The 3rd pitch is full value. Not having a lot of desert tower experience, I feel like this route lets you get a good "feel", ie offwidth, loose block, and most importantly VIEW!
The rap was the best part (great view), until the ropes wouldn't pull. Probably would be easier to bring a 46m or 50m rope and rap/down solo the climb. Summit was cool too. Second pitch should just be soloed if you do the climb. The hanging valley was really cool. This route is more of an adventure than a climb. If I were a hermit in the Moab area, I would inhabit the hanging valley. The loose block on the third pitch, is more of a loose dirt clod...
Huh.... I wonder how your rope got stuck. I"ve done it three times and had no problems. The rope is away from the main crack. Maybe knot on the ledge?
I'm pretty sure it was on the ledge. We had some chunks come off when we first tried to pull the ropes. The ropes finally came when we tied slings and cord together to extend our ropes and get further from the cliff.
Lots of loose rock. The third pitch, in particular, had a bunch of that sugar-cube like rock in the crack. I'm not sure if any of the gear on the last pitch would have held a fall. This is not a route to forget your helmet.

A lot of plug-ins are throwing notices or warnings at the moment. They've been there for a while. It's just that since RC4 the error reporting has been made visible. I doubt much will get done until 1.0 is available, then all the plug-in authors might get into a bit of updating. :)

Calling hours for Anthony Aceto and his sons Stephen Aceto and Timothy Aceto will be held from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Myslinski Funeral Home on French Road in Utica.
The funeral service will follow calling hours.
Anthony Aceto, 66, Stephen Aceto, 41, and Timothy Aceto, 33, died in a boating accident after their boat struck a cement channel marker. Anthony J. Aceto, 39, survived the accident with broken ribs and a cracked shoulder.
The family was spending the day boating on Oneida Lake, celebrating Stephen's upcoming engagement to his girlfriend.
Investigators say fireworks may have caused a distraction that led to the crash.
All three of the men were born and raised in Utica and graduated from Proctor High School.
Anthony Aceto was an engineer with the NYS Department of Transportation prior to retiring. He was married to his wife Jane for 43 years, and they had three sons. (Obituary)
