Harvard historian Niall Ferguson has a history of saying inflammatory nonsense to get attention. But recently while trying to sex up an attack on his long dead intellectual nemesis, John Maynard Keynes, Ferguson went way too far in his endless quest to widen the eyes of his audience.

Obama Continues to Accept Debt Crisis Frame
|By: David Dayen Thursday September 20, 2012 9:45 am
Republicans have gone all-in on their "redistributionist" attack on President Obama, which will work about as well as the last time they tried it, in 2008 with Joe the Plumber. If anything, it will reinforce the desire to increase taxes on the wealthiest Americans, a popular policy.
On the Economy, Austerity, and the "Drown the Government" Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
|By: David Dayen Friday June 22, 2012 10:33 am
Federal Reserve forecasts for GDP growth in 2012 have steadily fallen. In 2010, the Fed forecast an impressive 4% growth for 2012. By June of this year, they have lowered that to a little over 2%. And yet the Fed is also a policymaker, rather than just an independent observer. When these forecasts start to drop, they should be spurred into action. But that hasn't occurred.
It's Still a Fiscal Cliff If You're Headed Downhill
|By: David Dayen Monday May 21, 2012 11:00 am
At attention gets more focused on the "fiscal cliff" coming at the end of the year, of most concern to progressives is the continuing game of footsie Nancy Pelosi appears to be playing with Bowles-Simpson, the deficit reduction plan that makes cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security benefits. For tactical reasons, she wants to look more "reasonable" than Republicans on the issue of deficits. But in reality, this striving for reasonableness will only put those entitlement programs at risk while no one makes the case for increasing growth and jobs.
The Triumph of Keynesianism
|By: David Dayen Saturday December 31, 2011 7:52 am
We know how this movie will end. "The boom, not the slump, is the right time for austerity at the Treasury," John Maynard Keynes said in 1937, and the words are no less true today. The last few years in economic policy seem to be in one respect a consistent effort to deny Keynes, which happens to also deny reality. And the failures of austerity which can be seen around the globe, particularly in Europe, only serve to reinvigorate Keynes' central theories. Cutting government when government can provide the only source of demand only hurts the economy further, and it often increases the deficit, defeating the initial purpose.
The Death Of Keynesian Economics and the Resurrection of Supply Side Idiocracy
|By: masaccio Sunday July 31, 2011 5:00 pm
Keynes's ideas aren't dead. Congress is full of ignorant people who can't understand those ideas or their implications for our situation today, but the ideas aren't dead.
Absence of Progressive Economic Opinion Puts Country in Straitjacket
|By: David Dayen Wednesday July 27, 2011 1:00 pm
To those who want to say that the President is making the best of a bad situation, THIS is the problem. It changes the entire dynamic of the realm of possible economic solutions for the next decade or more. And when the economy suffers from austerity, since a Democrat basically called for it, that's who will be blamed.
The Normalization of Corruption
|By: Glenn W. Smith Sunday July 10, 2011 9:30 am
A decade ago the wise American public told us something important: they believe corruption is so endemic to our political system that unethical acts are no longer illegal.
As long as our leaders talk of virtue and morality, their actual acts are shrugged off as sad by-products of humankind's fall into sin.

U-Pick Farms
Do you like fruits and vegetables? Have you ever picked your own? There are many U-Pick farms opened from June through October.
Strawberry picking begins around the middle of June and lasts usually three weeks.
I picked strawberries at Rowe's in Ypsilant. Rowe's also has sugar peas and green beans for picking later in the summer. I began picking raspberries at Rowe's in late August. Raspberry picking is available usually from mid August through the second week of October. I make pies and jam with the raspberries each year.
Our family often take some grandchildren blueberry picking in July and August. We pick at Dexter Blueberry Farm in Dexter, MI. Blueberries are very easy to freeze and they stay firm when you thaw them later to put into muffins or on your cereal.

Dont know if this is better in here or a network section.
The school have a radiostation that the kids use its very good.
However over the past few weeks (since we have changed bb suppliers) we have noticed that it is not broardcasting properly.
It uses microsoft media services or something that and the programs broadcast on port 1755
In school we have one server that does everythign when the BB changed over i changed the network settings on there and all the other computers work.
The radiostation computer is in a work group with its own static IP everything looks ok it gets the internet and everything. in the prefered DNS server the numbers are pointing at the default server IP not the new DNS servers that the BB providers gave us. Is this a problem?
Anyways on the radiostation computer i can open up media player and go open url > localhost:1755 and it works if i go onto any other computer on the network and open up media player > open url > 10.72.240.15:1755 (which is the radiostations internal ip) it works. However if i go and open url >computername:1755 it fails with this error
Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server. The server name might not be correct, the server might not be available, or your proxy settings might not be correct.
How come the ip works but the name doesnt?
Thanks for any help

3.5 C# Basics Questions & Answers
Introduction to .NET Technology
.Net Technology is developed by Microsoft
in 2000. .Net technology is the new addition to Windows. The .NET ("dot - net")
environment is effectively a "virtual computer" that runs on a real computer,
through which a developers can create a .NET application in any .NET -
compatible language and participate in the same software project writing code in
the .NET languages in which (such as Visual C++.NET, Visual Basic .NET, C#,
Java, J# and more others).
.NET Core Technology- .NET
Technology has quite a few different parts
Common Language Runtime (CLR)
Common Language Infrastructure (CLI)
Common Language Specification (CLS)
.NET Framework tools (examples include gacutil, sn, and all the compilers)
.NET Framework is FREE (including the compilers!)
.NET development is made MUCH easier by using Visual Studio .NET
Introduction of .NET Framework-
.NET Framework is a software framework developed by Microsoft for
Microsoft Windows operating systems. .NET Framework has a large library, and it
supports several programming languages which allows language interoperability
(each language can use code written in other languages.)
Features of framework's Base Class Library-
User Interface
Web Application Development and
Database Connectivity
Data Access
Network Communications.
The class library is used by programmers, who combine it with their own
code to produce applications.
Versions of .NET Frameworks-
Version Number
Release Date
Visual Studio Framework
Operating System
Visual Studio .NET
Windows Server 2003
Visual Studio .NET 2003
Visual Studio 2005
Windows Server 2003 R2
Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008
Visual Studio 2008
Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2
Visual Studio 2010
Architecture of .NET Framework-
History of C#
Sharp) was designed for developing application in a fully object-oriented manner
as part of the Microsoft .NET initiative. C# debuted in the year 2000 by
Microsoft founder Bill Gates. At the same time, Visual Studio .NET was
announced. C# is an object-oriented programming language as part of their .NET
initiative in response to the success of Sun Microsystems' Java programming
language. C# source codeas well as those of other .NET languagesis compiled
into an intermediate byte code called MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language. C#
is primarily derived from the C, C++, and Java programming languages with some
features of Microsoft's Visual Basic in the mix. C# is used to develop applications like
Console Application
Window Base Application
Web Based Application
Mobile Application
.NET offers an alternative to Java development. Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET
development environment incorporates several different languages including
ASP.NET, C#, C++, and J# (Microsoft Java for .NET), all of which compile to the
Common Language Runtime.
Why C# is better than other languages-
C# and Java- Here are some features that C# has
but Java does not:
Delegates- You can kind of do this in Java, but its not as clean.
Lambdas- Which are way better than anonymous inner classes. (C# has
anonymous inner classes, too.)
LINQ (Language Integrated and Query )
Operator overloading- This feature can be abused, but it is still
occasionally useful, especially in libraries and DSLs.
Properties- No need to write getters and setters. Everything looks like a
direct field access, even if it isnt.
Yield CO-Routine capability- This is a powerful and highly useful
capability, especially for lazy iterators.
Extension methods- They permit you to extend existing classes.
Null coalescing operator that provides a simple syntax for dereferencing a
reference and supplying a default if the reference is null.
C# and VB
C# is a new, type-safe language, object-oriented language. It has
automatic garbage collection feature. It is developed solely for running along
with CLR frameworks. We can use pointers, if needed, though unsafe. On the other hand, VB.NET is developed from VB.
Comments in C# are just better. You can do Multiline comments, XML
comments, single line comments, etc.
Regions in C# are far better. The key here is that you can place a region
inside a function, thus breaking up the implementation into logical pieces.
C# and C++
C++ too complex and unsafe
C++ system-dependent
C++ not Web-ready
C++ does not manage memory
C++ has pointer types
C# nicely improved on Java, VB and C++.
C# can be used for everything like -sockets, threading, events, sql,
C# by Dissection: a plug Parallel treatment
Advance features of C# -
(Language Integrated and Query)-
LINQ to SQL
LINQ to OBJECT
2. XML Web Services
3. Cryptography
Most Important Advantages of C# -
C# is supported by Microsoft.
C# is type safe which comes with its advantages.
Nothing is better when you are developing windows applications.
Its syntax is also very well designed. Code looks pretty good.
Its intelligence IDE
Its worth learning because lots of code is written and is being written in
It feels so good when you code in C# in Visual Studio.
With C# you can explore lots of interesting things .NET,WPF,WCF,XNA,ASP.NET

Pair In Panties
I love wearing panties. I stole my stepsister's panties. She's four years older than me. She came into my bedroom, pulled down the bed covers, and saw me in her pink panties. I nearly died. She said, "I knew it was you. Do you find them sexy?" I said yes. Then she made me model them for her. Then she said. "I'm also wearing pink panties." She made me come to her bedroom. Then, we had awesome sex. When we were done, she opened her top drawer and said, "You know where my panties are?" I said yes. "Get one," she said. I took my time and picked white cotton panties with lace. They were gorgeous. She said to get her a pair of the same kind, so I did. My stepsister then said, "From now on, I want you and me to wear the same panties everyday. Is that okay?" I said yes and gave her a big kiss. Then we put our panties on. She said, "Those panties look sexy on you." The white panties on my stepsis also looked gorgeous. I told her that she looked very sexy in those panties. I also told her that she was the sexiest girl I knew and that she was a real sex machine. She was so thrilled to hear me give her all of those compliments. She said, "Sleep with me tonight." I said okay. Standing there in panties and seeing her in panties was a real turn on. I gave her a big kiss, and then I thanked her for her panties. She said, "That's what stepsisters are for."

Winter's final storm could break bank for Manchester plow budget
"We're hoping that this won't push us over budget, but we'll have to keep our eyes on it," Public Works Director Kevin Sheppard said Tuesday.
"No storm is ever welcomed by us, especially late in the season like this," he said. "Our snow budget is tight."
His department prior to Tuesday had a little less than $100,000 left of its $1.2 million annual snow budget. Sheppard won't know for a few days how much this storm will cost. If the snow budget is exceeded, Sheppard will look at other areas for savings. The city's single-stream recycling program has boosted recycling and reduced garbage tonnage, providing some savings he could tap, he said.
Last winter's snow removal cost of $550,000 compared to $1.2 million in 2011, $900,000 in 2010 and close to $1.8 million in 2009.
"We try to budget for an average winter, but I'm not sure there is such a thing as an average winter," Sheppard said.
Overtime and salt roughly split the $1.2 million budgeted, with fuel for trucks coming from a different budget line item.
Mayor Ted Gatsas said Sheppard manages his department well.
"There's been some big ones," Gatsas said of the parade of winter storms. "I think if we see another big storm like this, that would make me worry."
Sheppard said the city had more than 40 pieces of snow-removal equipment out Tuesday to clear more than 400 miles of roads as well as downtown sidewalks.
"We just ask people to keep their vehicles off the streets during our plowing operations," he said. "That allows us to clean up quicker and keep the roads safer."

First Lockheed Martin F-35As Report To Nellis AFB For Operational Testing
FORT WORTH, Texas, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Four Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) aircraft were officially welcomed by the U.S. Air Force Warfare Center at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. during a commemorative ceremony today. The jets are assigned to the 422 Test and Evaluation Squadron of the 53rd Test and Evaluation Group.
"For more than 50 years, it's been our privilege to support the Air Force mission, and we're honored to deliver the first four F-35A CTOL aircraft to Air Force Warfare Center," said Orlando Carvalho, executive vice president of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. "The work done by the Nellis team will forge the F-35 into the fighter of the future and test it to its limits. Their skilled pilots and maintainers will take the F-35's performance to new heights and define the tactics the F-35 will one day use to defend freedom around the world."
The first four operational-coded 5 th generation F-35A CTOL fighters to Nellis marks the beginning of operational testing and evaluation at the base. To date, 24 CTOL aircraft have been delivered to the Air Force and 58 aircraft to the Department of Defense.
The 422 nd TES is a composite squadron that executes Operational Test & Evaluation for the F-35. The squadron conducts tactics development, foreign materiel exploitation, and special access programs to optimize system combat capability. By 2019, a total of 12 F-35As will be assigned to the base for testing and evaluation.The F-35 Lightning II is a 5 th generation fighter, combining advanced stealth with fighter speed and agility, fully fused sensor information, network-enabled operations and advanced sustainment. Three distinct variants of the F-35 will replace the A-10 and F-16 for the U.S. Air Force, the F/A-18 for the U.S. Navy, the F/A-18 and AV-8B Harrier for the U.S. Marine Corps, and a variety of fighters for at least ten other countries. Lockheed Martin is developing the F-35 with its principal industrial partners, Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems.

Dr. Neil Anderson's invitation to the conference: "Many pastors are overwhelmed by the problems besetting their people, and some feel they are not adequately equipped to deal with them. In addition, most pastors don't want or can't handle one more activity on their plate. Freedom in Christ Ministries is fully aware of the problems that pastors are facing. In addition, there aren't enough pastors and counselors in this country to help more than five percent of the population if that is all they did. We have to equip the lay person to do the work of ministry or it is not going to get done. Discipleship Counseling is a ministry that can be accomplished by well trained lay people. Several exploratory studies and research dissertations are clearly showing the positive results of Discipleship Counseling and the encouragers in the studies were all lay people. Read More »

Riot bans two more 'toxic' pro League of Legends players
You would be forgiven for thinking that the very public example of professional League of Legends player IWillDominate getting banned due to unruly behavior would have made people think twice before repeating history. Not so: PC Gamer has picked up on the banning of two more players who will now be unable to compete in the Championship Series for a period of one year.
Player enVision was reported in 29 percent of total matches -- a rate six times greater than the average European player -- and had a peak harassment score in the worst 0.06 percent of all European accounts this month. The second player, Linak, shared a similar peak harassment score and reportedly had behavior which "worsened in the past three months, even as his team advanced into the upcoming [LCS] Season Three EU Qualifier."
According to Riot Games, "Their toxic behavior in-game has led to a recent permanent ban of their accounts, and, for both players, this is not their first permaban. We're now taking action in order to help ensure that players seeking to compete in the LCS represent the principles of good sportsmanship and clean play."

Tango music is so sexy that women's juices flow as soon as they hear its sultry sound.
The music — born from a mix of African and European influences in Buenos Aires and Montevideo — has been leaving dance floors sticky, hot, and wet since the 1890s. The dance involves a close embrace between partners, complex footwork, and semigymnastic maneuvers. It's like the Kama Sutra with your clothes on.
In 2005, Jimena Fama recognized the music's allure, went on a musicological quest through Argentina, and then started Tango Conspiracy, an electro-dub-tango band employing live musicians and electronic elements. The result has been wowing audiences from posh Miami to rich New York City and every TV set in between thanks to constant shows and a crucial placement on Dancing With the Stars.
337 SW 8th St.
Miami, FL 33130
Category: Music Venues
Region: Little Havana
Now, for Winter Music Conference, Jimena and crew bring the heat back to Miami, strutting up SW Eighth Street like stilettos on some long legs.

R.I.P. TomKat. It wasn't meant to be. Last week, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes announced their divorce. This news begs many questions and strategies as to where the family goes from here. So let me offer some free advice. I'm also open to cash payment for this advice, but I'm in no way demanding it, as I consider celebrity PR work a hobby of mine, even though I have no training nor have I ever had a client.
But I do have a passion for telling near-strangers how famous people should live their lives. And I've got a vehicle (this site) with a substantial, albeit demented, readership.
Tom Cruise could pick up another doe-eyed starlet or other impressionable flame, but that's sort of what we expect. I'm waiting for news to break that he's on vacation with their nanny any minute now. No one wants that story. It's trite, it's sad for the kids, and it would be non-news were it to occur.
Rather, Tom should do what we all really, really want him to do. Cavort around town as a big flamboyant queen. Like Capri pants and tank tops-style queen. I don't really care if he's gay or not, nor does most of America, but we'd like to see TC do something a little different.
Lance Bass.
I had a team of scientists working on an algorithm that could determine the one person that was the exact opposite of a hypothetical amalgam of Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, and Katie Holmes, and they came back with results that indicated Lance Bass is the most diametrically different person in the universe from the aforementioned. Interestingly enough, Joey Fatone was number two. Huh.
Tom would go to club openings, get pictured gassing up a tiny Mercedes convertible and just generally being really gay. I don't need him to start a handbag line or anything, but just live a little louder than he did before. He'd become likable again, something he hasn't been in more than a decade.
I guarantee if he jumps on Oprah's couch as a result of loving some dude, he becomes America's sweetheart. He's got a winning style, an amazing pedigree, and despite all the hate, I think America and the world really wants to like this guy. I mean, what kind of world is it that people are rooting for Tom Cruise to fail?
That's totally f*cked, guys. For reals. I mean, he did this:
Katie has youth on her side, which is a nice thing to have. It affords her time and options. Initially, she was seen as a damsel that would be indoctrinated into Scientology and would be kept as Mr. Cruise's child bride.
It didn't quite go down that way. Or maybe it did. People stopped thinking of Katie in any human way whatsoever and just started thinking of her as a younger, healthier-looking version of Victoria Beckham. Not bad, but not really good, either.
Katie Holmes is likable enough, I guess. I say that meaning I don't explicitly wish her any harm. So let's see her have some fun, too. Before Tom Cruise, she was dating Chris Klein, which I'm sure was pleasant enough, but not like a carnival ride of fun.
Which is why she needs to get after a guy that's nothing but fun. I'm thinking Pete Doherty, I'm thinking Andy Dick, I'm thinking 50 Cent. Maybe Johnny Knoxville. I don't really care who, which is unfortunate, because I'm tasked with writing this feature on who she should see next.
I know precisely jack shit about Connor Cruise. And that's high praise. Despite being the adopted black son of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, he's miraculously managed to stay out of the headlines and out of trouble. Nicely done, Connor. Don't change a thing. And if you were close with your step-mom, I'm sorry you lost her in all this, but just stay in touch.
You're doing it right Connor. Against all odds,
Oh, Suri. Oh, Suri. Oh SuriSuriSuriSuri.
Where do I begin? This won't be easy for you. You were fighting an uphill battle to be a normal child the second you were born, and now you belong to a broken home. You might be inclined to just give up as you hear these words read to you by the Scientology intern that reads you all the articles that pop up on your Google Alert, but don't.
This is an opportunity to make a fresh start. One that you've needed for so long. You look tired, Suri. Take a step back from the spotlight. Hang out with Connor. That kid has a good head on his shoulders. Own the opportunity for reinvention by getting a fun new haircut like your mom did with that pixie cut a few years back.
Dance like no one's watching, Suri.
Take some time for yourself by just going to that island that your parents probably bought you for your half birthday between your second and third birthdays. Spoil yourself rotten with Lunchables and flaxseed shakes and just rise above all the noise that you're hearing right now. Most of all, know that your parents love you very much, even if they're pretty weird, what with your mom never smiling and your dad smiling all the damn time.
You're going to get through this. Most importantly, don't see Rock of Ages. Avoid it like the plague if you still want to maintain a shred of respect for your dad.
Good luck to this whole, weird, sill family.
Consider posting a comment.

Question of the Month
From the Catherwood Library reference librarians
January-February 2008
PLEASE NOTE: The Reference Question of the Month is kept current only during the month for which it was written. Archived questions will not be updated, and over time may contain inaccurate information or broken web links. We provide archived questions as a service, since much of the information will remain accurate and of continued interest to the ILR community.
Question: Where can I find information about which unions can be found in my local area?
Whether you are looking for the corporate offices or local representatives for a certain union, there are a few good resources to help you out.
One great source is your state's Department of Labor. Most states have an office that oversees state laws and regulations and collects information regarding unions operating in that state. To find your state's Department web site, visit http://www.dol.gov/esa/contacts/state_of.htm. Of course, each state will have different information available, so it might take a bit of searching to find where the information is kept, if it is made public at all.
For the Ithaca area, the appropriate source is the New York State Department of Labor, whose web site is: http://www.labor.state.ny.us/. This site contains the Directory of Labor Unions & Employee Organizations in New York State, http://www.labor.state.ny.us/workforceindustrydata/apps.asp?reg=nys&app=unions.
This directory "includes private and public employee organizations, and contains the name, address, telephone number (if available), and principal or executive officer of nearly 4,000 locals."
The directory lists labor organizations by region of the state, so if you were interested in local Ithaca organizations you would need to select "Southern Tier" from the "Select a Region" drop down menu. You may also limit your search by type of organization, whether you are interested in locals in the public Sector or private sector. One drawback, however, is that the information is updated infrequently and hasn't been updated since 2002.
The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Labor Management Standards (http://www.olms.dol.gov) is also of great use. Each local must file a report with the Department of Labor each year indicating membership and other vital statistics. These reports are available online and are now able to be searched. The web site is the "Union or Trust Search" page (http://erds.dol-esa.gov/query/getOrgQry.do). Fields that can be searched include city, state, or zip code range allowing you to limit it to the area in which you are interested.
The records that are retrieved include the name of the organization, and the assets, liabilities and membership of each. Links are provided to the PDF version of the most recent report on file with the Department of Labor, and a list of previous reports can be found by clicking on the organization's name. From the page listing the reports, the most recent version of the local's constitution and bylaws are also sometimes available.
More great resources for information about labor unions can be found in the Catherwood Library's own "Labor Unions" subject guide (http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/library/research/subjectGuides/laborUnions.html) as well as the Best of the Web guide entitled "Labor Unions and the Internet" (http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/library/research/subjectGuides/laborUnionsInternet.html).
Both of these sources have been created by experts in the subject and contain numerous valuable resources for all your research needs on labor unions.

I think you might have to think this through again with the launch of Windows 8. The new interface means that a lot of people no longer "know how to use it." The desktop paradigm that everyone has been using for decades is still there, but Microsoft seems to be doing their best to hide it. But I must agree with you about the cli. I use it constantly on both Windows and OS X, but then I learned in the days of DOS. Most of my high school CS students have no idea it even exists, much less have any idea how to use it. I get a lot of looks of fascination and horror when they see me use it.

Dogs, and indeed most domesticated species, are poor examples to use for evolution. They have been selectively breed by humans to enhance or eliminate various traits. Dogs didn't evolve, they were created. Same thing for cats: they have been selectively breeding humans for 6000 or so years....

That will be their name after Homeland Security tosses them in prison. It's not rocket science. Fuck with corporations, they pay politicians, laws get passed, profit. Fuck with the US Senate, the FBI, they _find_ you. And you know very well the US doesn't care about jurisdiction.

Re:Godwin (179 comments)
I'd have to question that definition of a failed state. The United States government has never had a monopoly over the use of force within it's borders. The general populace has always been better armed than the state, and it is a founding principle that this is the correct way to do things, that the people should retain the ability to overthrow the government should it turn tyrannical. While I would find merit in a statement that the US is failing, indeed seems in danger of imminent collapse, it has nothing to do with force, or a monopoly on violence.
Re:not necessarily (494 comments)
I have to agree on this one. It seems the one thing the Mac haters refuse to acknowledge is that, at it's core, OS X is a *nix. I have the Terminal app on my dock, and spend as much time on the command line as I do clicking things. BootCamp takes care of games, and VM's for any Linux/Whatever application I need that I can't either find a port of or compile myself.
Once I got "under the hood" (on my teacher issue Mac) and realized what I was working with, I ditched my Windows machine in favor of one that "just works" when I need it to, and does serious work when that is required.

Which brings up an interesting question: does patent imply copyright? Does having a patent on a compound confer copyright on source code used to simulate that compound? And if it doesn't, how long until the lawyers claim it does, and you all start calling me a bastard for bringing it up?
Re:He will shortly find himself in court... (236 comments)
Dunno, but I'm sure they'll try. Large US corporations are not known for playing by the rules.

Re:Question/Opinion I have about song value (167 comments)
Actually, that's kind of brilliant. I'm sure some bright lawyer for the defendant will do just that, and I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls it off.
Now, how do we start a class action against the RIAA for price gouging by charging us 99 cents a song? They set the value, let's make them stick to it!
Re:Can you prove the date of your notes? (82 comments)
There is a more or less standard format that has developed for Lab/Engineering notebooks. The "no blank space" part is done specifically so you can't add information to a previous date. That way the notebook shows how an idea was developed over time, documenting the entire development process rather than just the end result.
Pages are generally signed off on by two people, the person taking the notes and a second "witness," which is supposed to cut down on forgeries.
And yes, they can be entered into evidence as legal documents. How valid they are becomes a matter for the lawyers/jury/whatever.

Re:Weapons are typically illegal (138 comments)
It doesn't matter where their offices are, it matters where they are incorporated. Google is incorporated in the US, and hence is expected to follow US law, even if those laws are idiotic, or a half century out of date.
Re:Peculiar policies (138 comments)
There is no jurisdiction within the US in which the ownership of any type of firearm is illegal. This was never true even in DC before they lost the recent Supreme Court case. Our constitution does not permit such laws.
Possession of fully automatic weapons is illegal everywhere in the United States, unless the owner has a federally issued Class 3 firearm license. They don't just hand those out to everyone who wants them. In addition, certain jurisdictions limit the the types of firearms you can own. Often these restrictions are completely illogical ("assault weapon" bans, for example, which ban some weapons based on what they look like, not on how they function,) but they do not violate the 2nd Amendment.
Re:Penny (301 comments)
I have two PS3's. My recently purchased slim (bought the same week that PSN went down) will not let me watch Netflix, no matter what I try. My ancient fat (original, 1st gen) will eventually let me watch, after sever failed attempts to log in to PSN. Both have the same firmware version, and the slim's settings were copied from the fat. So, just because one person can get to Netflix with PSN down does not mean everyone can. It all depends on some combination of hardware, software, and settings.

The Hawaii Department of Education (HDOE) has chosen PD 360 from School Improvement Network (SINET) for its statewide online professional development resource. After a few schools in the state already using the service reported positive results, HDOE purchased access for all 289 of Hawaii's public schools.
"The schools that have already infused PD 360 into their professional learning development have found success in getting closer to their achievement goals," said Robert Campbell, HDOE director of federal compliance and project management. "I believe this success is because teachers love the flexibility and comprehensiveness of this resource and have integrated its use into their daily schedules."
The program offers online training from 65 education experts on a variety of topics, including differentiation, assessment, ELL, leadership, student achievement, and subject-specific strategies. In addition, PD 360 offers various supplemental tools and activities, as well as collaboration and discussion forums, file sharing, and social networking.

North America is a dynamic migration region, with the United States home to more immigrants than any other country in the world, the Mexico-U.S. corridor the globe's top migration corridor, and Canada a leading destination for migrants. Research collected here focuses on everything from visa policy and border management to immigrant integration, national identity, the demographics of immigrants in the region and their educational and workforce outcomes, and ways to more effectively use migration policy as a lever for national and regional competitiveness.
The Migration Information Source's annual Top 10 examines key migration developments of 2014. The Top 10 touches down around the world: from Africa, where the Ebola outbreak prompted quarantines, travel controls, and bans; to Europe, confronting rising humanitarian flows; to the Middle East, where the migrant worker regulation system is under ever sharper attack; and to Asia, where reform to China's hukou system could benefit more than 100 million internal migrants.
Find relevant MPI resources on the child migration crisis—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in migration of unaccompanied minors to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place. Click here.
Nearly 1.3 million individuals became lawful permanent residents of the United States in 2006. MPI's Gretchen Reinemeyer and Jeanne Batalova look at the latest statistics on legal immigration.
In response to an agricultural worker shortage over 40 years ago, Canada initiated a temporary migration program to brings workers from the Caribbean and later Mexico. But this "model" program also has its drawbacks, as Tanya Basok of the University of Windsor explains.
MPI's Aaron Matteo Terrazas and Claire Bergeron report on the halting of DHS plans to crack down on unauthorized employment, Iraqi refugee admissions, the extended deployment of the National Guard on the Southwest border, and more.
In the 1990s, Mexican immigrants began to leave California, Texas, and Illinois for the so-called new settlement states where they had not previously resided. As Ivan Light of UCLA explains, their reasons for leaving or bypassing Los Angeles were both economic and political.

As I said when we recently premiered "Sleeptalker," TOPS have a very different sound than the one typically associated with Arbutus Records, but they still deliver smolderingly romantic songs similar to their labelmates. Their newest, "Way To Be Loved," is filled with crisp, modest guitar riffs, not-so-modest bass lines, and Jane Penny's soft but firm vocals. It's a fantastic statement of purpose for an album opener — and the album it kicks off looks to be another great addition to the label's rich catalog. Listen below.

Presidents Council on Fitness Sports and Nutrition
In June 2010, Drew Brees was appointed to serve as co-chair of the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition by U.S. President Barack Obama. In this role, he advises the President on programs and initiatives that educate, engage and empower all Americans to lead a healthy lifestyle that includes regular physical activity and good nutrition.
PCFSN's mission is to engage, educate and empower all Americans across the lifespan to adopt a healthy lifestyle that includes regular physical activity and good nutrition.
The Council plays a key role in the development of the administration's programmatic priorities, outreach and awareness efforts to improve the health and quality of life for all Americans. Among the Council's charges are to:
1. Expand national interest in and awareness of the benefits of regular physical activity, fitness, sports participation, and good nutrition;
2. Stimulate and enhance coordination of programs within and among the private and public sectors that promote physical activity, fitness, sports participation, and good nutrition;
3. Expand availability of quality information and guidance regarding physical activity, fitness, sports participation, and good nutrition; and
4. Target all Americans, with particular emphasis on children and adolescents, as well as populations or communities in which specific risks or disparities in participation in, access to, or knowledge about the benefits of physical activity, fitness, sports participation, and good nutrition have been identified.
The PCFSN is a committee of up to 25 volunteer citizens who advise the President through the Secretary of Health and Human Services about opportunities to develop accessible, affordable and sustainable physical activity, fitness, sports and nutrition programs for all Americans regardless of age, background or ability.

Why do we sit? The answer depends on place and time, says designer Jonathan Olivares.
It often seems as though we spend at least half our lives sitting. For some people, much more than that. Sitting, therefore, concerns designers as much if not more than any other physical activity. But that's no guarantee of comfort. I once took part in a museum acquisition meeting where a very well-known designer's custom chair, which was distinctive in every way, was rejected because it was also uncomfortable in every way. Similarly, the wooden Rietveld chair, which looks like a three-dimensional Mondrian painting, is a classic—but not for sitting.
Jonathan Olivares thinks about sitting a lot. An industrial designer whose Jonathan Olivares Design Research (JODR) has designed furniture for Danese Milano and Knoll, he produced four-year investigation of office chairs funded by Knoll that culminated in the book A Taxonomy of Office Chairs (Phaidon Press, 2011). I recently emailed with him about the interplay between sitting and design.
To write your book, you obviously considered the various ways by which people sit. But what did you learn about where people sit?
Sitting means different things in different places, but generally in the office it reinforces a sense of belonging, purpose, and in certain contexts authority. Where you sit often determines how you want to sit. For instance, having a seat at a bus stop means something entirely different from sitting in a conference room. The situation determines what is appropriate in terms of posture, duration, and comfort.
"What's really exciting for the designer is that every once in a while a single product will change society's definition of comfort."
Are there different ways to sit? And are there optimal ways to sit?
There are at least as many ways to sit as there are unique situations. Whenever I'm asked if I have a favorite chair, I then ask, for what context? A café is entirely different from an airport lounge. Within a café a hard surface keeps one alert to the environment and engaged in conversation, and the right amount of curvature in the seat can allow extended periods of seated comfort. Another thing that is crucial in a café is the ability to comfortably sit in a chair sideways, and shift around in it, while speaking with adjacent people, or getting a waiter's attention.
Sitting around a campfire with a group of friends is one of the most enjoyable ways to sit. There a simple, low folding chair does a stellar job. Another great way is on the beach, barefoot in the sand. In my own office chair, I tend to forego comfort in exchange for elegance, even though my back suffers a little more. Women do this all the time with their shoes, and I think it's a perfectly reasonable trade.
Chairs are not the only sitting devices. Is a chair the most efficient way to sit?
I guess I consider all sitting devices chairs. Peter Opsvik's Variable Balans chair balances the body's weight on the knees, shins, and rear. I know a few people who sit in one at work. There are slings, like Alejandro Aravena's Chairless, which you strap yourself into. This is quite efficient, but I tend to think people strapped into these look like seated hostages. People sit on the floor in airports all the time, either while they charge their mobile devices at poorly placed outlets, or because there are no available seats. This always makes me somewhat sad, because no one considered them.
In Asian cultures sitting on the floor cross legged was always part of the upbringing, though less so today, and people developed the flexibility and muscles to support themselves. Probably the most efficient way to sit upright is on a nicely shaped rock, where no human effort is exerted or resources used in the production of the chair. When Eames designed his steel wire chair, he was influenced by Buckminster Fuller's ideas on maximum structural effectiveness with minimum material usage, and this was highly efficient. Then there was the Blow chair by De Pas, D'Urbino, and Lomazzi, which was inflated with air. I could be wrong, but I think that's the closest we've come to sitting on thin air.

Comedy Cardiff caper
Cardiff's controversial head of recruitment Alisher Apsalyamov will not work for the Barclays Premier League club while the Home Office investigates his work permit situation, Press Association Sport understands.
The 23-year-old Kazakh, a friend of club owner Vincent Tan's sons, replaced Iain Moody earlier this month in a move which cast doubt over manager Malky Mackay's long-term future at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Reports on Thursday suggested Apsalyamov had been asked to step down from the role but it is understood that, while he is not currently operating for the Bluebirds in an official capacity, he retains the position while his visa documentation is assessed.

If eastbound Wilmette Avenue is part of your daily driving regimen, village officials are asking you to have a little patience for the next month as the latest phase of work on Wilmette's ongoing $21.3 million sanitary sewer upgrade program forces traffic detours.
Since July 22, eastbound Wilmette Avenue traffic has been detoured between Locust Road and Meadow Drive in west Wilmette, officials said. To keep contractors safe as they work, other short-term, daytime road closures on Locust and on westbound Wilmette will probably take place from time to time. However, those closures will be kept to a minimum.
The village's Public Works Department has put detour signs up for the eastbound rerouting, and will put closure signs up as necessary throughout the span of the project. Depending on the weather, detours and closures in that area should end around Aug. 22, officials said.
Wilmette's multi-phased sanitary sewer improvement project, aimed at cutting sewage backups in thousands of Wilmette basements after rainstorms, began last year and is in full swing this summer.
Work on increasing sanitary sewer storage capacity along Wilmette Avenue and Hibbard Road is a major segment of the project, at a cost of $1.7 million. The latest phase began earlier this month on Wilmette Avenue west of Locust, between Locust and Sunset Drive.
Residents with questions or concerns about the latest phase of construction, or about the sewer improvement project in general are asked to contact Andy Witt at RJN Group, the consultant overseeing the project, at 630-258-4738, or at email@example.com.
WHERE: Wilmette Ave.
DIRECTION: Eastbound
BETWEEN: Locust Road, Meadow Drive
WHEN: July 22-Aug. 22, weather permitting

Bitcoin operators charged in illicit drug site bustComment on this story
New York - A US judge says the top executive of a New York City-based Bitcoin company can be freed pending trial on charges relating to the black market website Silk Road.
Magistrate Judge Henry Pitman ordered electronic monitoring for 24-year-old Charlie Shrem.
He was released to stay with his parents Monday over the objection of prosecutors.
Shrem is chief executive officer of BitInstant and vice chairman of a foundation that promotes the Bitcoin currency system.
He was arrested Sunday at Kennedy Airport.
Prosecutors say he conspired to commit money laundering by selling more than $1 million in Bitcoins to Silk Road lawyers.
They say he personally bought drugs on the website.
His lawyer says he is presumed innocent and has spoken online about the need to obey the laws regarding virtual currency. - Sapa-AP
