Project Harmony Launches Today
"Project Harmony is like Creative Commons for contributor agreements. We've set out to capture the best practices of free and open source software contributions, across a diverse array of project cultures, communities, and values." said Allison Randal, a community participant in Project Harmony. "The public review process for the Alpha versions of the documents launches today, and runs through May 6th. After a year of hard work by the original ~100 drafting volunteers, we're really looking forward to broader participation in this public review."
Project Harmony—community-centered group focused on contributor agreements (CAs) for free and open source software (FOSS)—was launched today by Amanda Brock, General Counsel for Canonical. There is a diverse group of individuals who make up this project and represents varying perspectives, experiences, communities, projects and more. This group comes together under their common belief in the future of FOSS and combines that common belief with their common interest in using their skills to the benefit of collaborative FOSS communities.
For those who would like to get involved in the project that seeks to "enable more people to contribute code, by reducing the cognitive cost and legal time of reviewing contribution agreements" can do so by joining the mailing list and IRC channel. Interested individuals can also help by participating in the public review process of the contributor agreements (alpha phase).
There is also a guide to the Harmony contributor agreement templates and the options a FOSS project may choose from. In addition there is an FAQ page which more information about the project, its overview, CAs, guide to the CAs, and provisions that were considered but not included can be found.

Oh, That Easter Bunny!
Historical postcards are among the many images that the Library's Digital Gallery collects. And I've found a gold mine of Easter Bunny cards. How easily does this secular holiday figure fit into our pop culture – you can see just by the types of scenes depicted on these cards. Fertility is one obvious clue to the pagan origins of the Easter Bunny, since rabbits generally have large litters. But why are these furry mammals hauling around chicken eggs? Another fertility symbol, a harbinger of new life. The use of a rabbit or hare for an Easter symbol may have started in Germany. Certainly, the Germans were the first people to make a sweet Easter Bunny, starting with pastry and sugar before moving on to chocolate. The Easter Bunny made it to America courtesy of Pennsylvania Dutch children who sang the praises of the "Oschter Haws" and the colored eggs he'd leave behind for lucky people to find. The next step was the creation of Easter baskets to hold goodies… Children's stories abound about the doings of the Easter Bunny. Most of them feature his giving out of eggs. Most valuable of all Easter eggs are the fabulous creations of Faberge, made for the ill-fated last Russian Czar and his family. Should you encounter an Easter Bunny this weekend, be sure to show some respect. After all, I can tell you personally that there's nothing worse than disapproving rabbits. p.s. My rabbits, Beau and Jack, wish everyone a good Rabbit Day. Should any of you feel a desire to learn more about rabbits as companion animals, check out the House Rabbit Society.

That is water leaking from the seams of the exhaust. The car is 2 months old, 1.6tdi SportBack. Done just over 2000 miles. It has been back to the dealer, they are ordering a new back box, should take a few weeks to come from Germany, they have been very good though. Hopefully it's a one off.

WATCH: Landlord-tenant dispute heats up
A dispute between a landlord and a tenant in Hope took a dramatic turn this week.
A backhoe was brought in by the landlord to make his point over plans to expand a sundeck at a mobile home park.
The shed housing four years of accumulated household items was unexpectedly razed to the ground.
Jane, who doesn't want her last name used, says she now has a big clean-up job ahead.
It was the owner of the manufactured home park who ordered the shed torn down even though Jane owns her home and the shed.
The shed was custom built by the previous homeowner seven years ago.
However, when the park owner renovated a mobile home on the adjacent pad, and built a big sundeck, selling it for $60,000, that's when the problems started.
The district of Hope requires minimum six meters between mobile homes.
So in order to get occupancy for the new owners, either the sundeck had to be shortened, or Jane's shed had to be moved.
After more than a year of emails, phone calls and notices, on Monday Jane told her landlord she was going to file a dispute with the residential tenancy branch.
"Instead of waiting for the process to go ahead, he took the law into his own hands and did what he wanted to do," she says.
John David Nelson wouldn't return our phone calls and emails, and when we went to his downtown office, we were told he was now on vacation.

On August 27, 2011, hundreds of music lovers will descend upon Atlanta's Piedmont Park for the second annual ONE Music Fest. For this special edition of SoulTrain.com's Artist to Artist series, we are spotlighting some of the artists slated to perform at the festival.
We caught up with Phonte and Nicolay, the masterminds behind the Grammy-nominated The Foreign Exchange—a musical collective that also boasts brilliant artists such as Zo!, Sy Smith, Median, and YahZarah as major collaborators. Born out of a series of international music swaps between Phonte (in North Carolina) and Nicolay (in the Netherlands) via the internet, the two solidified their partnership and began releasing tunes as The Foreign Exchange in 2004 with their debut offering, Connected. The follow-up, 2008's Leave it All Behind, scored The Foreign Exchange a Grammy nod for the single "Daykeeper" (featuring Muhsinah), and in 2010 the group released Authenticity. Their latest collection, Dear Friends: An Evening with The Foreign Exchange, is an acoustic presentation recorded during a private performance in early 2011. In addition to his work with The Foreign Exchange, Nicolay has produced four solo projects, and Phonte will treat FE fans to his debut solo album this September.
ST: Yours is hands-down one of the most fascinating stories of how two artists came to be creative partners, with Phonte based in the states and Nicolay based in Europe. What were some of the challenges you faced while working on those early collaborations, and how has your working relationship changed now that you're in somewhat closer geographical proximity?
Phonte: Our relationship really hasn't changed in terms of how we make the music. We still pretty much record our songs through email. We still have yet to record a song in the studio together and I don't think we ever will. We pretty much have a system that works for us, and we just enjoy working that way. We have that trust to where Nic can go to his corner and do what he does, and I go to my corner and do what I do, and then we just meet in the middle. It works for us, so we keep it where it is.
ST: One of the hallmarks of your "brand"—if you will—is that you frequently bring guest vocalists and producers in to perform on your projects. When you're in the process of writing new material, do you typically have in mind whom you'd like to feature? How do you decide what artists fit best with which songs?
Phonte: When Nic sends me music, if I hear someone on {the song} then I'll try to reach out to that person. I don't think there's ever been a time when we say, "Hey, we want to work with Artist X", and then we try to make something for Artist X. It's a little more organic than that. We do what we do and when it's done we say, "Hey, I think so and so would sound good playing guitar on this" or "we can reach out to this person for some background vocals or this person for some strings". It starts with us, then we branch out.
ST: As independent artists, without a major label to support and promote your projects and without the significant mainstream presence other artists may benefit from, you've made a phenomenal impression in the industry and you've built an incredibly loyal following. Phonte, you recently shared some of your thoughts about label support versus independent artist status on Twitter. What advice would you and Nicolay offer emerging artists who may be debating whether or not to pursue relationships with major labels?
Nicolay: I personally don't have any major label experience—Phonte would be able to shed more light on that. But I think it's pretty clear that no matter what label is on the horizon for you, it's very important to be realistic about what will happen and what will not. For a lot of people—especially coming out of the music industry of the 70s, 80s, and 90s—there's still the idea that being signed to a label is the end solution. But nowadays we see it as kind of the opposite. So artists have to decide what they want the labels to do for them, and whether it's something they can actually do for themselves a lot better.
Phonte: For me, being that I've been on major label and done the independent thing, it's really all about freedom and the ability to make your own moves. Of course, with freedom comes a lot of responsibility and there's an incredible amount of work that goes into running your own operation. It's absolutely exhausting. There's no way to sugarcoat it, there's no way to cushion the blow. It is a lot of work! But the tradeoff is that you get to present your music the way you see fit. So for artists looking to make a career in music, I would tell them straight up: If you're looking to go with a major label, then you've pretty much got to look at that as a cash out. One of the most profound pieces of advice I've ever heard was from my man LP, who ran the Definitive Jux label out of New York for awhile and is a member of the group Company Flow. He was one of the first guys to pop independently on the hip hop scene in the late 90s. One of the things he told me that always stuck with me is, there's nothing wrong with selling out. If you're gonna sell out, that's fine. But make sure that when you sell out, you sell out so good you never have to sell out again. If you're going to sign to major label, pray that you make so much money that you won't ever have to make art again (laughs). Crazy as it sounds, it has to be that stupid, because otherwise you're at the mercy of someone else. That's the hard reality.
ST: We're celebrating 40 years of Soul Train. What are some of your favorite Soul Train memories?
Nicolay: I don't think we got Soul Train when it was originally aired, so like a lot of American culture we got it much later on. I started watching some of the classic Soul Train performances as I was getting more into music.
Phonte: Every Saturday morning, we got up and watched it and it was one of those things that's an institution in Black households—like, Soul Train on Saturday mornings is just a given. I always thought it was funny when Barry White was on there, because Barry White and Don Cornelius would have this "bass off". They would be trying to out-bass each other, they sounded like two Darth Vaders talking to each other! Like, bass for your face with Don Cornelius and Barry White (laughs)!
And any Al Green performance was always hot. And he performed live, not to a backing track.

Microsoft needs to get its story straight.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told attendees at a tech research conference in Orlando on Thursday that a deal with Yahoo (yhoo) "makes sense for their shareholders and ours."
But within an hour of the news, Microsoft (msft) spokesman Frank Shaw issued an statement to retract Ballmer's comments. "Our position hasn't changed. Microsoft has no interest in acquiring Yahoo!; there are no discussions between the companies," Microsoft said.
Yahoo spokeswoman Kim Rubey said the company had no comment on Ballmer's statement. Yahoo's investors, meanwhile, are loving the idea that Microsoft is even considering returning to the negotiating table. After trading in the $11 range, Yahoo's shares jumped 10% to $12.93 on Thursday.

Mercedes-Benz released a commercial featuring Kate Upton and their new CLA model just last week. That video already has over five million hits on Youtube. It should come to no surprise they would use her again.
Here is a sneak peak at another spot they're airing Sunday during the Super Bowl, and needless to say, they went all out with this one.
Not only does Kate Upton make an appearance, but so does music superstar Usher and Academy-Award nominee Willem Dafoe.
Gotta hand it to Mercedes-Benz; not only does the spot take place in New Orleans, but the commercial feels like a mini-movie. You want to be him. And if these cars really do start under $30,000, I might have to reconsider what I'm driving.
Mercedes-Benz is the official sponsor of the New Orleans Superdome, the host of stadium of Super Bowl XLVII. The automaker also took part in several charitable programs for the rebulilding and cleaning of the city post-hurricane Katrina.

Globes surprises: `Burlesque' but no `True Grit'
NEW YORK (AP) -- The Golden Globes are like a moth, forever drawn to the flame of star wattage.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a group of about 85 critics and reporters for overseas outlets, have always proved eager to bring prime red carpet fodder to its televised award show. On Tuesday, they made sure they'll have a glitzy lineup for the Jan. 16 event.
RELATED: Natalie Portman and other nominees react to their nods
A few surprises, snubs and notable trends:
-- SORRY, PARTNER: "True Grit," the Coen brothers' new take on the John Wayne Western, has been considered a top awards contender. Best director, best screenplay (by Joel and Ethan Coen), best actor (Jeff Bridges) and best supporting actress (Hailee Steinfeld) have all been pegged as possibilities to varying degrees. The film's late release could have hurt its chances with the Globes. Perhaps the Hollywood foreign press are big John Wayne fans, and are loath to see one of his films remade -- especially an Oscar-winning role. Or maybe they just feel like they honored Bridges enough last year, when they gave him best actor for "Crazy Heart." Bridges was even a guest on "Today" immediately after NBC's live broadcast of the Globes picks, but the Dude seemed to be abiding just fine.
-- "THE TOURIST"? REALLY? Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's thriller opened last week to generally poor reviews and weak box office, but the film still won three nominations, including best film (comedy or musical), best actress for Angelina Jolie and best actor for Johnny Depp. Depp is twice nominated in the category (best actor in a comedy or musical) for "Alice in Wonderland." The Globes, it would seem, REALLY want Depp at the show.
RELATED: See who Johnny's dated
-- FEW LAUGHS FOR COMEDY: Judging from the Globes nominees for best film, comedy or musical, 2010 was a bad year for laughs. "The Tourist," "Burlesque," "Alice in Wonderland" or "Red" were not particularly well received, and some were plainly panned. (The acclaimed fifth nominee, the lesbian family drama "The Kids Are All Right," will be the category favorite by a landslide.) Comedies that might have been included: the British dramatization of a 1968 strike over sexual discrimination, "Made in Dagenham"; Noah Baumbach's "Greenberg"; the breezy, high-school updating of "The Scarlet Letter"; "Easy A" (whose star Emma Stone was nominated); the goofy romance "Love and Other Drugs" (which earned nominations for Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway); or the coarsely hilarious "Barney's Version" (which earned a nod for Paul Giamatti).
-- ACTRESS UPSET: It came as a considerable surprise that among the actresses nominated, there was no Lesley Manville, whose performance in Mike Leigh's "Another Year" as a lonely, desperate friend has been widely hailed and considered a favorite for an Oscar nomination.
RELATED: Find out who won last year on MSN
-- BUMP IN ROAD TO OSCAR: The based-on-a-true-survival-story "127 Hours" and the rural crime drama "Winter's Bone" both saw their momentum slowed by the Globes. The star of each -- James Franco and Jennifer Lawrence -- respectively, was nominated, but neither caught on in other categories.
-- LOVE REKINDLED: Just two weeks ago, the prospects of the indie romance "Blue Valentine" looked bleak. The MPAA had slapped it with an NC-17 rating, dooming its distribution. But last week, the MPAA changed its rating to an "R" and now both its leads, Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, received Globes nominations.
RELATED VIDEO: Hear the nominees announced on MSN
-- THE LAST DIRECTOR: Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan"), David Fincher ("The Social Network"), Tom Hooper ("The King's Speech") and Christopher Nolan ("Inception") were all more or less locked in as nominees for best director. Candidates for the fifth spot have ranged from Roman Polanski for "The Ghost Writer" to Ben Affleck for "The Town." But David O. Russell ("The Fighter") edged them out, perhaps a sign that O'Russell has finally put the image problems from his on-set dustup with Lily Tomlin (which landed on YouTube in 2007) behind him.

The enigma of Adriano
Adriano has always lived his life on a tightrope. Sometimes depressed, sometimes enjoying the local nightlife, but always seemingly on a knife-edge.
A year ago, he looked to be in freefall at Inter Milan and he eventually made a major career decision. Living life to extremes, as has become his nature, Adriano momentarily left football and went AWOL for three days, missing, as it turned out, in a favela - or shanty town - in Rio de Janeiro.
The episode provoked the worst fears in Adriano's friends and family. His girlfriend admitted at the time that the player had failed to overcome his problems with alcohol. Perhaps more worryingly, she also recognised that Adriano was associating himself with some dubious characters: some of the country's most wanted drug traffickers.
"I am happy in the favela and I'll continue to go there," Adriano said. At the time, he was earning 5 million euros per year with the Serie A champions, and yet he found his place in one of the poorest neighbourhoods of Brazil. In Italy, the dreamworld had become a nightmare; at home, a dose of hard reality appeared to offer him a tonic.
Adriano grew up in Rio's Complexo do Alemao and, at the age of 27, he decided to return. His family, meanwhile, turned to their faith to help them through those dark days. "I pray for him," his mother said, "and I ask everyone to pray for him."
A year on, Adriano has become one of most important players in the Brazilian league with the reigning champions, Flamengo. He has been dominant enough in the Brasileirão to have prompted calls for Dunga to reintroduce him to the national side ahead of the World Cup, but it appears he has yet to leave behind all of the bad influences of his past.
Adriano insists that he has carried none of the old problems into his new life, but an extensive report published in Rio-based daily newspaper O Dia, entitled The forbidden world of Adriano, details a life of continued excess. "While he remains in Brazil, there will be no way for him to recover," a source close to the player at his club said. "At Flamengo, he does what he wants to do because the club allows him to."
Many of Adriano's friends have even tried to convince him that he should return to Europe, but the striker insists that he has been trying to leave his past behind him. "When I arrived in Brazil, I really was not at all happy," he told O Globo recently. ''I had problems with depression and alcohol. I had lost my father [in 2006], a World Cup. Today, I am well. What happened happened and, unfortunately, when these things happen with Adriano, they are blown out of proportion. Today, my relationship with alcohol is completely normal - if it wasn't, I would not be able to play. I drink two or three times a week."
Adriano recently inspired Flamengo to victory over Vasco de Gama and proved that he is ready to confront the big issues. After scoring a goal, Adriano sent a message, via his shirt, towards his detractors. "Forgive bad people," the shirt read.
His agent, meanwhile, has signalled that Adriano will come back to Europe in the near future yet, for now, the player is simply enjoying life in Brazil with his close friends in the favela, steering clear of the spotlight. "I have had to carry a lot of pressure on me since the age of 18," he added.
He is now 28, reaching what should be the peak of his career, and has regained his form in his homeland. What does the future hold? With a man like Adriano, it is better not to make predictions. Where he will be tomorrow, no one knows.

5 Technologies to Make Surgery Safer
Low-tech solutions such as checklists and calling a time-out before surgery can dramatically improve safety in the operating room, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), which recently released guidelines to deter surgical errors. But there are plenty of technologies that can help make the OR a safer place—from systems that keep track of sponges and to robots that may someday be able to deliver anesthesia remotely to systems that help counteract alert fatigue.
The ACOG guidance supports the Joint Commission's "three-part universal protocol" as a useful tool for healthcare teams to prevent surgical errors. The first protocol calls for the healthcare team to ensure that each patient's relevant documents and all of the surgical equipment are available, correctly identified, and reviewed before surgery."Using standard checklists, systems, and routines may sound to some like cook-book medicine, but they have been proven to greatly reduce surgery errors," said Richard Waldman, MD, ACOG's president.
The steps sound simple—and they are. And yet surgical errors still occur. The steps endorsed by ACOG rely heavily on humans to perform them, after all. And human behavior, human actions, and human memory are far from perfect.
Here are five surgical pitfalls and the technology that can help humans in the OR avoid them.
1. Retained surgical instruments
The FDA recently approved another surgical tool tracking system that helps keep all manner of surgical implements, including sponges, where they belong—namely, outside of the patient's body. There are a number of these systems, which keep track of every item in the room through RFID chips and alert OR staff when one is not in its proper place. Some systems have a wand that, when waved over the patient's body, detect any items left behind. These systems help cut down on complex and time-consuming counting procedures that are prone to human error.

As a graduate of White Hall in 2008, I had never witnessed the Bulldogs win a state title in any sport. After I left Fayetteville that weekend in May, I had watched White Hall capture two state titles in two days.
As a graduate of White Hall in 2008, I had never witnessed the Bulldogs win a state title in any sport. After I left Fayetteville that weekend in May, I had watched White Hall capture two state titles in two days.
The atmosphere in Bogle Park and Baum Stadium over the weekend was electric and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the White Hall fans had traveled the nearly 230 miles to support the teams.
The softball team was no stranger to the state title game as they were going for their third-consecutive state title. With this being my first time seeing White Hall play in a state championship game, I was nervous for them. The Lady Bulldogs, however, were fearless.
As I watched the game from the first-base side along with some friends, it was evident the Lady Bulldogs were not going to be denied their third-straight title. They played lights out and always battled back against an equally determined Vilonia team.
After the final out, the White Hall side cheered and I gave the people around me high fives as we watched the Lady Bulldogs celebrate their win on the field. With one exciting game down, I wasn't sure what to expect the next day for the baseball game.
When Pulaski Academy's Merritt Osment hit a deep fly ball to center field with two on and one out in the seventh inning, the White Hall fans and I held our collective breath as we watched Aaron Johnston sprint towards the wall.
When Johnston caught the ball near the warning track and threw it back to second base for a game-ending double play, a sigh of relief and enjoyment hit the stands on the White Hall side at Baum Stadium as we erupted in celebration. The Pulaski Academy side stood in disbelief.
The Cinderella No. 4 seed from the 5A-South Conference had climbed the mountain and took the title from the defending state champions. It was a surreal moment.
Through the cheering and the hugging, the crowd watched as the Bulldogs captured its second state title in the past three years while completing the 5A state sweep for the city of White Hall.
Watching your alma mater win a state title in any sport is a treat. As the players hoisted the trophy over their heads, you could see the excitement and satisfaction of the hard work they had put in all year had finally paid off. It really brings a smile to your face.
Winning a state title puts your city on the map and honestly it's fun to tell other people that you are a part of a community that is home to a state champion. It also made the nearly four-hour drive much more bearable.
As a fellow member of the White Hall community, I would like to say congratulations to the members of the 2014 Bulldogs baseball and Lady Bulldogs softball teams. You earned a spot in White Hall's sports history and nobody can take that away from you.

Books and online videos are VERY useful and I like them a lot but if you are totally in the dark about firearms the BEST (IMhO) method of getting educated would be to have a real live person show you how it's done.
If you're going to go to a range to shoot then easy-peasy, sign up for a class. If you're a rural resident I bet you have friends or relatives that shoot and pick one you trust and get them to show you how to shoot. (Then go take a class anyway.)
The down side to face to face instruction is you have to admit your ignorance to another person. The up side is you only have to do it once and you'll be able to ask questions and (once again IMhO) there's is NO substitute in shooting for having someone actually showing you how to do it.
As a pLus, being an uneducated person to the shooting world you won't have a lot of bad habits that will have to be unlearned (and any instructor will appreciate this-and a good attitude).

Tony Iommi, who is knee-deep into recording Black's Sabbath's new album, 13, is already looking beyond that project to something new — a riff-based album with Queen guitarist Brian May.
The idea behind the album, as reported by RollingStone.com this morning, is that fans would be able "build their own songs" around Iommi's and May's unused material.
May mentioned the project in UK music magazine Kerrang! in a feature where fellow musicians were able to ask the guitarist questions. Iommi's question to May was, "When are we going to get to work on that album of riffs together? You know what I'm talking about." May's answer: "Yes, I do know what he's talking about, and I'm very, very keen. The record he's talking about what supposed to be a secret, but I guess he's blown it now."
The idea came to May during a recent visit to Iommi's studio, where the pair discussed the sheer amount of unreleased material the Sabbath guitarist has accumulated over the decades. "I thought it would be great to make a compilation out of them," May said. "The idea was to put all these riffs out in some form so that people could build their own songs from them. You could make your own music with Tony Iommi on guitar!"
Beyond that, the details are sketchy. There is no planned release date or label — or even verification that the project will actually take place. Iommi still has to get through the Sabbath sessions. The band's new album, 13, is expected to be released in June.
To watch Black Sabbath in the studio, check out the behind-the-scenes video the band posted earlier this week:

UPDATED: Snow on Dereham shop roof still hanging on
PUBLISHED: 12:14 29 November 2010 | UPDATED: 17:41 02 December 2010
Some of the over-hanging snow on a shop roof in Dereham is still clinging on three days later, remaining a threat to passing shoppers.
UPDATED: Snow on Dereham shop roof still hanging on
The white mass, which captured readers on EDP24 earlier this week, has significantly reduced in size after large chunks relinquished hold of the Edinburgh Woollen Mill on the towns High Street.
The snow came down in two separate avalanches when there was luckily no one standing underneath.
A notice, put out on the pavements by the shops staff, had warned passersby to beware.
The remaining lump of snow is stubbornly holding on in the corner. People who have spent days watching it from nearby shops and offices have almost given up hope of it ever falling.
Original story published on EDP24 on Monday November 29:
A menacing looking lump of snow on a shop roof in Dereham is giving shoppers cause for concern.
As they negotiate the sludge-covered High Street, townsfolk are being warned of a large accumulation of snow above their heads.
Staff at the Edinburgh Woollen Mill have put a notice on the pavement warning people to beware - over-hanging snow on roof.
