Lone Star College: Student Group Threatened with Probation and Derecognition for Posting Flyer
The Young Conservatives of Texas (YCT) were among a variety of student organizations distributing flyers at Lone Star College - Tomball during an event for student groups to recruit new members. YCT's flyer included a satirical list of "Top Ten Gun Safety Tips" including, "If your gun misfires, never look down the barrel to inspect it." Program Manager for Student Activities Shannon Marino reportedly told the YCT Chairman that the flyer was inappropriate and confiscated the flyers. Comer appealed to Dean of Student Development E. Edward Albracht, but Albracht also said the flyer was inappropriate and invoked the prior year's shootings at Virginia Tech. Marino informed Comer that the school's legal department would be reviewing YCT's flyers and that afterward, the school might disband YCT or put the group on probation for the year. FIRE contacted the Lone Star administration about its violations of YCT's rights. Brian S. Nelson, General Counsel for the Lone Star College System. replied that any "mention of firearms and weapons" is inherently a "material interference with the operation of the school or the rights of others" because such language "brings fear and concern to students, faculty and staff." Nevertheless, YCT was allowed to remain a student organization without any disciplinary consequences.
- "FIRE Launches New Video Series With Short Film on Censorship of Gun-Related Speech," June 30, 2010: Today, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is proud to release a new short film, "Empty Holsters: Gun Speech on America's Campuses," highlighting widespread campus censorship of student speech about guns. The film is the first in a new FIRE series focusing on how colleges and universities across America are preventing students and faculty members from speaking out on the weightiest political issues of the day.
- ""Top Ten Gun Safety Tips" Censored at Lone Star College in Texas," October 20, 2008: After distributing a jocular flyer listing "Top Ten Gun Safety Tips" at the school's "club rush," a student group was threatened with probation and derecognition at Lone Star College–Tomball, a public college near Houston. After college officials banned the Young Conservatives of Texas from distributing the flyer, the school's general counsel invoked the specter of the Virginia Tech shootings, suggesting that even a "mention of firearms and weapons" is inherently a "material interference" with the school's operations. The group has turned to FIRE for help.

- "Jefferson 'Muzzle' Awards for Censorship Given to Two Colleges Involved in FIRE Cases," by Robert Shibley, April 7, 2009
- "Speech Code of the Month: Lone Star College," by Samantha Harris, December 1, 2008: FIRE announces its Speech Code of the Month for December 2008: Lone Star College in Texas. FIRE recently addressed the suppression of free speech at one of the colleges in the Lone Star College System, when Lone Star College–Tomball censored a student group for distributing a jocular flyer listing "Top Ten Gun Safety Tips." Now, FIRE has learned that the Lone Star College System maintains speech codes that threaten free expression at all five of the system's campuses. The most vague and overbroad of these policies, found in the system-wide Student Code of Conduct, prohibits any "vulgar expression" on any Lone Star College campus, including in electronic communications. This policy is unconstitutionally vague; students have no way of knowing what exactly is prohibited, since what is "vulgar" depends entirely on who is hearing or viewing the expression in question. It is also overbroad, explicitly prohibiting speech and expression such as the kinds of "vulgar" satire, parody, and social commentary that the Supreme Court has repeatedly held are protected by the First Amendment.

SALT LAKE CITY — Artwork created by Latter-day Saint youth from around the world is featured in a new exhibit, "Arise and Shine Forth" at the Church History Museum through June 17, 2013. A three-member adult jury and a six-member youth jury selected 82 pieces for the exhibition from more than 400 entries received last June. The exhibit features a variety of visual art mediums including paintings, sculptures, textiles, photographs and ceramics. The theme of the exhibit carries an invitation from the Lord to church members to "arise and shine forth" so that their "light may be a standard for the nations" (Doctrine and Covenants 115:4-6), according to a press release. The young artists featured in the exhibit profile a promising outlook for Latter-day Saint art, said Museum Director Kurt Graham. "Anyone wondering about the future of LDS art needs to see this show exhibit," Graham said. "The caliber of the work makes it clear the field is in good hands. The talents of these young artists will prove to be a great blessing to the church and its members. The majority of the work came from artists in the United States, but it also includes works from Brazil, the Philippines, Canada, Taiwan, Austria, Japan, Mexico and several other countries. The artwork is a testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the gospel principles shared by young church members through artistic expression, said exhibit curator Rita Wright. "We have been very impressed with the technical skills and thoughtfulness of the entries," she said. "The artwork significantly portrays ways that youth in the church can allow their testimonies to shine forth. We are grateful for the willingness of the artists to share their feelings through their artwork and applaud their talents." Museum visitors may vote for their favorite works in the galleries and online through the museum's website and Facebook page. The top choices will receive Visitor's Choice Awards at the end of the exhibit.

Meal Planning for Vegetarian Diets
Many people are choosing to follow a vegetarian diet these days. People who follow a vegetarian diet do not eat any meat (meaning no red meat, poultry, seafood, or products made with these foods).
This diet is a healthy option to consider, but it should be well-planned. If you choose to follow a vegetarian diet, be sure to eat a mix of vegetables, fruits, beans, whole grains, nuts, and low-fat dairy products (if you choose to include dairy).
There are many different types of vegetarian diets. The most common types are:
- Vegan — This group does not eat meat, eggs, or dairy products.
- Lacto-vegetarian — This group does not eat meat or eggs. However, they will eat dairy products.
- Lacto-ovo vegetarian — This group does not eat any meat. However, they will eat both dairy products and eggs.
Is it Safe for Someone With Diabetes to Follow a Vegetarian Diet?
Yes! A vegetarian diet is a healthy option, even if you have diabetes. Research supports that following this type of diet can help prevent and manage diabetes. In fact, research on vegan diets has found that carbohydrate and calorie restrictions were not necessary and still promoted weight loss and lowered participants' A1C.
Vegan diets are naturally higher in fiber, much lower in saturated fat, and cholesterol-free when compared to a traditional American diet. The high fiber in this diet may help you feel full for a longer time after eating and may help you eat less over all. When fiber intake is greater than 50 grams per day on a vegan diet, it may help lower blood glucose levels.
This diet also tends to cost less. Meat, poultry, and fish are usually the most expensive foods we eat.
The Vegan Diet
This is also called the total or pure vegetarian diet. Those who follow a vegan diet do not eat any meat or foods made with meat products.
People with diabetes can choose to follow this type of vegetarian diet too. The vegan diet includes a variety of plant-based foods. Eating soy products and a mix of vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains provides plenty of protein and other important nutrients. The main nutrient of concern for this group is vitamin B12, so taking a supplement or multi-vitamin is usually necessary.
Be sure to check out the Key Nutrients page to learn more about vitamin B12.

text: Château Camensac borders on the Saint-Julien appellation, in the commune of Saint-Laurent-Médoc. The vines are located on the commune's finest gravelly rise. The topography is fairly steep and the pebby soil quite deep. This makes for excellent natural drainage, which is complemented by a well-maintained man-made drainage system. The estate's excellent potential is fully realised thanks to a "craftsmanship" approach by the Camensac winemaking team. Each vineyard plot, each vintage, and each vat constitute a unique entity, and are treated as such. Systematic methods leaving no room for variation are avoided. The vineyards are carefully observed every day, and viticultural operations are carried out only when required, according to strictly natural criteria. The vineyard has a density of 10,000 vines per hectare, and grape varieties are as follows: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. The average age of the vines is quite old, which makes for reasonable yields. Only natural fertiliser is applied, and quite sparingly. Pruning is rather severe and, if need be, bunches of green grapes are removed to improve concentration. As a result, the average yield does not exceed 40-45 hectolitres per hectare, which is considerably below the usual figure for the appellation. At the end of the growing season, the vines invariably produce healthy, ripe grapes that are well-ventilated (to avoid rot). Sorting is also done at harvest-time so that only the best fruit is made into fine, great growth wine. Careful consideration is given to the ideal date to start picking. This entails a "risk in the interest of quality" so aptly described by the eminent professor Emile Peynaud. A wine as fine as Camensac will only live up to its reputation if the grapes are sufficiently ripe to provide good extract. The staff at Camensac are helped in their decisions by consulting oenologist Michel Rolland (who also makes his own wine!). Monsieur Rolland is closely involved with Camensac, and his experience is quite precious. He knows the vineyard very well and takes great pains to stress the importance of picking only perfectly ripe fruit. He also follows the winemaking very closely.

You and the others are incorrect on a few facts; the entry fees do not cover the total expense of these events, not even close for the labor and security, none of these events are "fundraisers" and no money has ever gone to a charity from an official event.
So let me get this straight, the funds for these events which my family has done for several years and on the app its states that funds will go to chairty are incorrect?????
So the wounded warrior event makes no money for them??
please dont even try and tell me these fat donut eaters who man the stations and drive around the base have to work harder that day.
There are so many fat security guys on their radios on events at the base that Im suprised anyone can be heard.
the base and the promoters make a huge bank on these events. labor are you kidding me??

I've found it's best to start a newcomer off on a rockered board. I've just taught a couple buddies and my girlfriend over the past years. I feel one of the main things to learn is weight distribution. Learning to ride on your back leg and when wanting to come to a stop transferring your weight to your front foot and positioning your shoulders down hill. I've had good luck with teaching that as first priority. Once that is comfortable I have my student or whatever u want to call them do the exact same thing on the toe side. After a whole day of practicing the weigh distribution I see the most progression coming when the student is feeling like they are on their own. Kinda hiding in the background. You can only tell someone heels and toes so much before you have to let them catch the edge and take the fall. People need time to register what they did wrong and I feel its best to let the person fall and ask you what happened.

Yo gunda pickle. I woundnt pay anyone for a park lesson. Find the kids that are better than you in the park and ride with them whether they know ur there or not. A lesson can only teach you what the instructor wants you to learn. Following the park rats will show you what they are doing and make it an endless lesson. Confidence is key and watching someone do something when they make it look easy helps to make you believe you can do it.

thanks for the falling tips Doug. I never thought about that. My ex taught me how to snowboard and all she and her friends told me was keep your hands in and don't reach out. Which has been fine so far, even though I still stick out my hand/arm every now and then, but definitely didn't think about these techniques.

Hi there, I am not Doug, who is an AASI examiner, but if you post some vids when you get back on snow, I'd be happy to take a look and give you a couple pointers. One thing I'd specifically recommend is to be open to fixing things on flat snow first. Of the 80% of the park lessons I teach, there is some little glitch (physical or psychological) that can be worked out on flat snow/low-progression before you lap the M/L/XL parks. Some of my students have been adverse to trying this stuff (too baby for me ...) but those that listen progress far faster 99% of the time by taking a little step back. Mike

In Stanley Kubrick's 1980 movie adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining, Wendy, the wife of aspiring novelist Jack Torrance, is searching for Jack and finds his manuscript.
Jack had been frequently heard banging away at his trusty typewriter, presumably creating his first best seller. But Wendy discovered he had instead been typing endless pages repeating the phrase "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". Well, OK, so not every writer is Shakespeare.
But in that one scene we (and Wendy) immediately learn two things. First, Jack is one fruit loop shy of a full breakfast.
Second, he's not a real writer!
Frankly, writers don't work in that manner. Even the worst ones know that the readers expect a little plot variation here and there, unless they're been watching Jersey Shore.
So I'm going to reveal a writer's secret. Oh, not the reviled Big One that addresses the often-asked question "where do you get your ideas?". We'll do that another time. I'll just the answer your wife's nagging 'what did you do today?'
To make the big bucks, drive fancy cars and get all the hot wimmen by writing a few best selling mystery-action-adventure-science fiction-horror-comedy-westerns -- with lots of sex and explosions – all writers start with a fantastic title and then move on to that all important, attention grabbing first sentence.
The real process goes something like this:
[it helps to imagine the intermittent clickety-clack of an old fashioned typewriter instead of the near silent click of the keys on a laptop as you read]
"It was a dark and stormy night ..."
'Hmmm', thinks The Writer. "That sounds kinda familiar; I think that one may have been done before. I'll try again."
"It was a stormy and dark night ..."
'Ugh. A little too depressing; I'll see if I can make it a little more upbeat.'
"Once upon a time, it was a stormy and dark night."
' Nah. That doesn't grab the reader. Wait! I got it! I'll do a story told in the first person! '
"If I remember correctly, it was a stormy and dark night."
' Better, I guess -- but magazines pay by the word.'
"It may have been stormy ... it may have been dark ... but of one thing, however, I'm certain -- it was night!"
' Perfect!!!! :)
And now for the second sentence.'
Sorry, Jack. Better luck next time.

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Time is running out to avert the automatic spending cuts or -- -- that once again.
But there's growing talk on Capitol Hill this time the spending cuts are happening and with more on this Republican congressman James Lankford of Oklahoma.
Congressman on the back to the show always great to have you -- I'm hearing that this is gonna go through that the Republicans have gotten on the same page.
Will happen what happened to the naysayers.
Well at the end of the day we have to cut spending that's the real -- The worst way to do it is across the board but it seems like -- away washing never gets a cut -- just say everybody gets people kind of repetitive crossed.
The reality of this is the government's grown 40%.
In the last five years.
This is a 2% cut of government off the 40% growth -- was dramatic in some budget line items it's not really dramatic across the board.
Well you know it's interesting you say it's definitely gonna happen and Fred Upton today told me the exact same thing because -- have people like John McCain who doesn't want to see go through.
So how do you bring everybody in line.
Together real issues noticeably wanna see the across import cuts because -- specific line items that are bloated and others that are actually fairly close to efficient.
Though there's nothing in government that's truly efficient just by its own design.
-- -- we'd rather -- targeted cuts and quite frankly we'd rather see long term in the mandatory side to look out.
You know how do we get out 5101520.
-- -- continue to make savings when -- on the discretionary side you -- for a couple of years.
Do on the mandatory side you say for decades so -- -- get -- there.
Well I would cheer went Fred -- to -- on our network today talking about sequestration.
Here's Fred -- It has to happen without an alternative you know in the house last year under speaker Boehner and cantor.
We passed in the house two different bills.
With spending offsets on the sequester.
And the senate didn't take either one of them all of them so we are now left in the position of the -- that's gonna come.
So you know it occurs to me that it's very likely we'll get some scare tactics coming out of the administration if Republicans are on board with sequestration.
Warning people of all the bad things are and -- happen at this spending stops.
Do you think that happened.
-- do -- it's already happening.
The first -- -- come out and say is -- have to close down the entire united states air force and shut down the Marines and when no longer have all these things.
And it's always the worst case scenario first.
There are what what's called accounts that are out there that divert money that wasn't spent last year they can also be reduced and military this year.
There are multiple accounts that can't be reduced is -- a better way to do this yes.
But at the end of the day do we have to reduce spending yes we absolutely do.
And that's so our focus is let's get to the serious business there's a huge tax increase that just happen again months ago there I I remind people all the time.
2013 is expected to be the largest amount of revenues in the history of the federal government coming into the treasuries.
Yet we're still a trillion dollars short in our budget so we have.
Different point and you look at it this way we're back to revenue levels pre recession.
Now why -- -- -- guys can't run our government on that I I it just for the life and may I don't understand that.
Why can't the federal government being run on 2007.
Level revenues what's -- problem.
Well there's there's two problems one is the baby -- is happening right now and so we have 101000 people -- -- the retiring.
-- -- People are getting help congressman that's like not gonna blustery.
I'm amazed I came to congress two years ago and it's like noted ever heard of the term baby boom.
Because we watched all this simple but this is something it's incredibly predict one has been critical for long time.
The second part -- though was the stimulus that occurred in -- in 2009.
There's issue just up.
Plus up and all the different accounts.
That has never really come back down.
We're spending a trillion dollars a year more now.
There -- we were just five years ago our proposal was but you're spending back down -- the 2008 level and allowed to grow to inflation and not deal with over doing right now.
I have to ask you about another spending issue and that's entitlements.
-- today the white house Press Secretary Jay Carney is automatically ruling out any provision to raise eligibility for Medicare.

"The /parallel programming/ problem has been around for quite a while and there are no signs it will be resolved any time soon. It was an issue before clusters came on the scene and will be a huge issue for multi-core systems." I agree with you. I have read sometimes that parallel architecture is the only way to go faster than the Moore's Law, (let's recall us that this is a law coming from the industry). But it is not really the case, Parallel clusters follow the Moore's Law : for the same price, you can have more and more of cpus in the same volume/pizza box/rack. That's what we see in the top500. Then, today, the main problem that shows up is not the choice of the OS, linux vs ms windows, (in fact Linux has not been designed for clusters, so why not ms windows ?!). The real problem for the one who doesn't use any embarassingly parallel program, is clearly the parallel programming and scalability beyond some tens of cpus.

MPOH Priorities
Jim Fausone
Veterans Disability Attorney
We work with Veteran Service Organizations every week. We help their members. We attend their functions and fund some projects. So it is in that spirit that we want to acknowledge the Military Order of Purple Heart and its commander's recent testimony before Congress.
Bill Hutton, National Commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, testified before a joint hearing of the Senate and House Committees on Veteran's Affairs on the priority veteran issues that the organization believes the Congress needs to address in the 112th Session of Congress. The issues that deserve priority include: TBI, PTSD, VA backlog, elimination of offsets like DIC and concurrent benefits, and VA funding. I would encourage you to read more about MPOH's proposed priorities because they are our priorities as veteran advocates.

So -- harbor is a senior naval analyst at the institute for the study of war recently wrote in an analysis of Israel's iron -- their missile defense shield of course.
He is also a former US navy helicopter pilot he trained extensively.
With the Israeli navy while operating in the Mediterranean Chris welcome back to the show.
Let's get right to have -- here expert opinion.
Do you think awards and -- hair.
I'm elicits it's a pleasure to be with -- again thank you for having me no I don't think war is imminent I think what we have right here.
It's what I would describe as a medium or high intensity.
Tactical conflict until the Israelis.
Cross the border with ground forces into -- we haven't really stepped up into full war the other thing to keep in mind is this sort of low intensity.
Low intensity conflict between Israel and Hamas has been going on for the better part of six years it's only been.
Within the past week or two that it's exploded into this level of violence so why.
Think it's exploding now I mean is it -- sort of a change in the neighborhood we've been talking about this a little bit that.
You -- neighbors have become even more hostile to Israel.
John you seeing Egypt with that Muslim Brotherhood in their ties for potential ties to Hamas.
It just seems like Turkey I mean their words have been so inflammatory against Israel it seems like all of a sudden.
They're finding themselves more alone than ever is that I do agree with -- Yes absolutely unfortunate there's two problems that Israel is facing the first is the increase -- Islamist influence in both Turkey and Egypt.
Historically Israel and Turkey and had a fairly decent.
Working relationship between their militaries unfortunately.
A lot of the changes in domestic political structure in Turkey.
Have favored the rise of islamists to power there so the Turkish military is no longer cooperating as closely.
With the Israel as they once were.
At the same time we've seen the rights of president more seat of power and he -- and that does not bode well for the future of Egyptian Israeli.
Relations in the last -- to make.
In your introduction you said it's always about the money I think the best way to view this conflict.
Is a new front of an economic front opened by the Iranians against the Israelis are raining its manufacture rockets for about a thousand dollars a -- Because -- ratings anywhere from 250000.
Dollars to shoot these rockets down.
So the Iranians are under pressure from the yes -- sanctions against them.
They -- applying pressure against Israel by supplying.
Massive quantities of low cost rockets to Hamas and has.
-- that's.
Really interesting point so how does that play out from -- -- what's the logical extension who runs out of money.
First -- the logical extension is it's really bad news for Israel 5060 years ago the Israelis could fight in the same manner that there enemies fought.
You know Israel started out 1948 as a very poor agrarian based Steve and they were essentially fighting guerrilla warfare against the Arab armies.
-- the -- 6070 years the Israeli defense forces the IDF.
They have embraced technology advantages and now they have a qualitative advantage.
Against all of their foes but as you know it takes a lot of money to maintain a qualitative advantage technologically.
The Israelis are gonna lose that advantage if they have to spend a hundred times as much money.
To shoot down a single rocket as it costs -- -- to make that rocket.
-- -- knows that they have long term better strategic situation in Israel here and I think the these secondary analysis here of the deeper analysis -- -- this is a ran providing low cost weapons to Israel's enemies.
And those enemies are using it to play economic pressured Israel.
That it's such an interesting point I haven't heard anyone say that in all of the discussions that we've had on these networks.
About what's going on in the Middle East let me ask you about the iron dome as well because that is something that you know so much about.
You know there are reports that it failed to prevent one rocket from hitting the ground.
What what do you think about that I mean is that is it just one rocket.
Or does that indicate a larger weakness.
Us by any statistical analysis iron dome has been an overwhelming success we're seeing at least -- 90% success rate.
Probably closer to 95%.
Success rate.
That iron dome is shooting down in down rockets out of Gaza now know system's going to be a 100% effective but I think your viewers can understand.
The technological complexity required.
To shoot -- rocket with a missile it's like shooting a -- with a bullet deep technology requires intense.
And the Israelis have perfected it so the Israelis paid for the development of the iron dome system -- sell themselves.
America has been paying for the production of the iron dome systems.
There's another problem here economically which is we don't know exactly how many iron dome interceptors Israel has in their supply system.
But the Hamas and -- -- Felices.
Money might informal assessment based on open source reporting was -- at about thirteen hundred maybe thirteen 150 interceptors to start.
They shut -- the least 400 in this past week.
They seen a drop of 25 to 30% of their supply now the problem is.
Hamas had at least 101000 rockets and -- of the start Hezbollah has anywhere from forty to 60000 rockets in Syria in its southern Lebanon.
Iron dome is qualitatively superior to anything to Hamas or Hezbollah has unfortunate we.
Right it can only he has the quality of -- -- yes.
Chris thanks you so much for coming not mean that is all really fascinating important information I haven't heard anywhere -- I hope you'll come back soon.
Absolutely think you having illicit -- now for the fuel gauge report crude oil futures falling almost three plus.
Chapter two section climb the drop comes as hopes first.

brand roadmaps
Posted by Dale Buss on February 24, 2012 04:32 PM
When it comes to product strategy, Campbell Soup has gone through more twists and turns over the last several years than one of the noodles in its classic Chicken Noodle Soup.
The world's leading maker of soup has come up with heartier flavors and lighter flavors, chunkier textures, new ingredients, heart-healthy blends — you name it. The company also has infamously tacked back and forth about sodium reduction in its soups, firset embracing the idea as a major new platform and then, recently, trimming back its salt-cutting ambitions in the interests of taste.
Once again, Campbell is stirring the pot, this time under new CEO Denise Morrison, who presented her strategy to analysts in New York this week that the Campbell Soup Company has a few things cooking to jump-start growth.
Her new approach "requires moving from a high dependence on line extensions to more disruptive innovation, new and differentiated products, packaging and category segments that create new pathways for growth."Continue reading...

Spain's jobless figures hit record high
Spain's unemployment rate has climbed to its highest level ever, the Spanish government said Thursday, as a painful recession takes a toll on the debt-stricken nation.
The latest official figures show 26.02% of the population without jobs in the last quarter of 2012, with just over 55% of those aged 16 to 24 unemployed.
The unemployment rate is the highest in the country's history, according to the Spanish National Statistics Institute, with the total number of jobless people at 5.97 million.
In 2007, before the global economic crisis hit, Spain had 1.9 million people unemployed -- 8.6% of the active population. By this time last year, the number had climbed to 5.2 million.
In the eurozone, only Greece, which is facing a sixth year of recession, has a greater proportion of young people out of work.
Spain, the fourth-largest economy in the eurozone, is suffering its second recession in three years, and its ailing banking industry has had to draw on the eurozone's bailout fund to stay afloat.
But it has stopped short of following in the footsteps of Greece, Ireland and Portugal in requesting a full-blown sovereign bailout.
Successive rounds of austerity measures have prompted angry public protests on Spain's streets.

Clever! And of course, quite literal, literally in the literal sense.
Your attitude is all platitude.
... then you also need to convince them not to buy $200 sports jerseys, $100 bottles of Tequila, and designer clothes...
Your data-less, prejudicial canard is based on the Regan-era false-trope of the "Welfare Queen". It's a way of expressing contempt for the poor and for those who have an economic condition of disadvantage institutionally guaranteed by public and corporate policy. You get to hate, and to justify your lack of compassion. Way to go.
The fact is this: "You need to convince them" is key. Billions of dollars are spend convincing the entire American public they need this valueless, empty bullshit.
The "You" in your prescription had better be prepared to spend at a commensurate level to counter the consumerist brainwashing.
But I suspect that you don't really have your own opinions, do you? You get to select those pre-digested doctrines which allow you to justify your current role and station, while assuaging your fear of losing position.

Open Business Intelligence from Infobright and Jaspersoft
The Infobright and Jaspersoft firms have combined their open source software into an integrated data warehousing and business intelligence solution.
Infobright Community Edition (ICE) is not multipurpose data storage. Instead, the GPL software is intended for loading data and using it in read-only mode, called data warehousing. The storage can be as much as 30 TBytes of data, a table can contain billions of records. The software is available for Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) and Windows (32-bit). A white paper goes into some of the details of the Infobright architecture. The database system used is MySQL.
Jaspersoft adds its Business Intelligence Suite to the Community Edition solution. Jaspersoft is under LGPL and consists of the BI Suite, JasperReports, iReport, JasperServer, JasperAnalysis and JasperETL (Extract Transfer Load). The software is ready for download at the Jasperforge site.
The combined Infobright and Jaspersoft project page evidently still has problems with the Infobright CE (ICE) download data.
However, the data warehousing software is also available at the Infobright site. A short Jaspersoft data sheet includes the critical aspects of the integrated solution.
According to the partner firms, the combined solution is already in production at Bi3 Solutions, which provides business intelligence and collaborative performance management solutions using the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.

Detroit I-75 freeway pileup that killed 3 involved 43 vehicles in 12 separate crashes
Chain-reaction wreck happens Jan. 31 - scene stretched for mile
A chain-reaction wreck last week that killed three people on a slick Detroit freeway during a sudden snow squall involved 43 vehicles in a dozen separate crashes.
Michigan State Police continue to reconstruct Thursday's accidents along southbound Interstate 75 on Detroit's southwest side. The pileups included cars, SUVs and semi-trailers.
SPECIAL COVERAGE: Deadly I-75 crash
Police say the two crashes that claimed the lives of 9-year-old Gabrielle Greenwood of Windsor, Ontario, and her 7-year-old stepbrother Aidan Hicks, and the wreck that resulted in the death of 54-year-old Larry Manolis of Allen Park still were being investigated.
--Larry Manolis
More than a dozen people also were injured.
The adult driver and a third child in the car from Canada were released Tuesday from a Detroit hospital. A woman in the car was in serious condition.
