Konstantin Tsiolkovsky - founding father of cosmonautics
This year marks the 49th anniversary of the world's first manned space flight, which was accomplished on April 12, 1961 by Yuri Gagarin. The way for this fantastic event had been paved by the outstanding Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, a schoolteacher from a small Russian town of Kaluga.
"Humanity will not remain on Earth forever; in its quest for light and space it will timidly overstep the limits of the atmosphere, and then conquer the entire Solar system, - said the founder of cosmonautics Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. In his time, in the late 19th century, this sounded as a fantasy, as a utopia. However, what fed the inventor's mind all his life with scientific fantasies. They were the motive power, which led him on his road of scientific discoveries despite all the trials and tribulations. And they were numerous. At the age of 9 Tsiolkovsky contracted scarlet fever and as a result of which he lost hearing almost completely. The misfortune played a great role in the formation of his character. It taught him to overcome every obstacle that confronted him. But it also turned him into a shy and reserved person.
His poor hearing made his studies at school difficult, he heard almost nothing of what his teachers said, so he turned to books, which became his best friends and teachers. At the age of 23, having passed the necessary exams, he received the right to teach mathematics at school. His modest earnings enabled him to do what he wanted - to engage in scientific research. What interested him particularly was aeronautics. Spending his salary almost entirely on instruments and reagents, denying himself even decent food, he made amazing discoveries. Back in 1887, when no one heard about cars, when air flights seemed utopian, Tsiolkovsky worked on a project for building an airship with a metal hull. The provincial teacher no one had heard about made a sensational report at the Moscow Polytechnic Museum. However, few people took his project seriously. Those who were capable of helping Tsiolkovsky implement his ideas simply failed to notice him. Moreover, they preferred to turn to foreign investors.
Tsiolkovsky went on with his work. He was interested in airships that were heavier than air. He made a drawing of an aircraft in a form of a bird or beetle, with its propeller in its front, with its gasoline engines instead of muscles, with wheels instead of its tail. His aircraft was streamlined - the form airplanes got only in the 1920s. He described how it must take of the land.
His further research brought him to a remarkable discovery; he devised a wind tunnel without which aircraft building was unthinkable. A similar wind tunnel was used after him by the brothers Wright in America in 1902.
Tsiolkovsky was referred to as an eccentric, as a dreamer. Ordinary people could not understand the man who forestalled his time, who already thought of space flights. Back in his youth he said that the universe was inhabited by other higher life forms, not only by humans. And the time will come, he said, when humanity will carve its way to other planets. "The thought of communicating with outer space has never left me, - Tsiolkovsky wrote. According to him, that was an inherent inclination of his mind that was always with him. He even wrote a science-fiction novel, which described a universe inhabited by amazing asteroid dwellers.
Once he read a booklet by a St.Petersburg inventor about flights into the atmosphere. Like the apple that had nudged Newton toward discovering the law of gravitation, the booklet gave Tsiolkovsky the idea of building a spacecraft capable of flying into interstellar space. He engaged in mathematical calculations, which brought him to his unique invention - the building of a rocket. Tsiolkovsky put the date of concluding his calculations as May 10, 1897. He did not realize that this stated his precedence in scientific space research.
Unfortunately, this discovery as hundreds of other works by the brilliant scientists remained either unnoticed or ignored. But Tsiolkovsky continued to work in the hope that the future generations would appreciate him.
"The main task of my life is not to waste time, let humanity move forward, - Tsiolkovsky wrote. - That is why I am interested in what yields neither bread nor strength; nonetheless I hope that my works will give society heaps of bread and bottomless powers maybe soon, maybe in the remote future."
Tsiolkovsky's hopes materialized. His scientific discoveries were recognized in his declining years, in the 1920s and 30s. His works laid firm foundations for developing rockets and space machinery, and secured for this country a breakthrough into outer space. A Russian citizen, Yuri Gagarin, became the world's first cosmonaut.

Overdue & still unsure on names!
Hiya all.
Posted in the boys forum too! Im one day overdue with our second child and still dont have a name picked out - We dont know the sex!
We already have a 2year old boy called Taylor John.

Girls names have been a little easier for us as its been a name we have wanted for years, its a middle name we cant fully agree on!
Leah is definately the first name. Just wondering what people think is best. Were not very outrageous and quite like filler middle names (sorry!)
Here are what we like...
Leah Grace - This is the girls name we had for our son, but alot of people around us have either us have either used Grace or used LG for initials.
Leah Jade - Just seems abit boring
Leah Sophia - I stuck my heels in with this one because i loved it but now im not sure if it sounds too much/too posh!
Leah Kiera - We love both names Leah and Kiera.
If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated too.
Thanks in advance everyone

British MPs (Members of Parliament) have introduced some pretty stupid laws over the past years. Eleven years, to be exact.
These aren't old, outdated laws from the 1800s that forbid unmarried people from sleeping in the same hotel bed. These are laws the Labour party has introduced since they took power in 1997. Labour has created 3,600 new criminal laws since that time.
According to a story from Agence France-Presse, it's against the law to disturb packs of eggs after being ordered by an "authorized officer" from doing so. It's also against the law to offer to sell wild birds that were killed on a Sunday or Christmas Day, willfully pretending to be a barrister, or to cause a nuclear explosion.
Liberal Democrat MP Chris Huhne has accused Labor of creating these stupid laws, and accused Prime Minister Gordon Brown's government of doing nothing to repeal the laws. He was then clapped in irons and hauled away, since it's against the law to accuse Gordon Brown of not repealing laws.
Justice minister Jack Straw has asked Huhne for a list of the laws he wants repealed, and promised to review them.
However, the question on everyone's mind is, are there really officers whose job it is to order people not to disturb packs of eggs?

Buccaneers could pursue DE Taylor
Published: March 2nd, 2009 | Tags: Free Agency 2009, Jason Taylor, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Tribune is reporting that the Buccaneers could have interest in recently released DE Jason Taylor.
It would be a curious move considering that the Buccaneers have released a lot of their older, veteran players.
But the paper is reporting that there is a link between Taylor and his former defensive coordinator from Miami, Jim Bates, who was recently hired by the Buccaneers.

The public face of the Dodgers now rests with Stan Kasten as their president and co-owner. On Monday we caught up with him at the Winter Meetings and asked him about his new position in LA; how the ownership group was assembled; what Magic Johnson brings to the table, and; how that massive TV deal factors into what the Dodgers do, not only now, but years to come.
Few recent club sales have altered the landscape in Major League Baseball as quickly as that of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Whether it was the unprecedented purchase price of $2.15 billion, the flurry of trades that including taking on over $163 million in contract dollars as part of the blockbuster trade with the Red Sox that included Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett and Carl Crawford, or the media rights deal that the club is on the cusp of completing that is reported to be between $6-$7 billion, the Dodgers have become a juggernaut.

Inspired by the top-heavy Tigers and Dodgers, Brad investigates how well NBA-style roster construction works in MLB.
Since the NBA playoffs are currently going full throttle, this seems as apt a time as any to explore a basic concept of roster construction from that league to big-league baseball. Of course, many of you will disagree with this necessity of this because you don't like the NBA. Some of you will deny the very existence of professional basketball. That's okay. Trust me, this is a baseball article.
The Inside the Park series is about stories, but sometimes there in no particular story angle to what otherwise seems like a fun idea for an article. That's the case here. During the offseason, and after the Prince Fielder signing, I read a number of analyses of the Detroit Tigers that described their roster as top-heavy. Insofar in that there is criticism in that observation, the issue is that such a team is going to be more vulnerable to an injury to a key player. When Victor Martinez was injured, Detroit was able to throw the GDP of a good-sized nation Fielder's way, but such an option doesn't exist once the season begins. If Fielder or Miguel Cabrera or Justin Verlander were to go down, the Tigers would be perhaps be sunk even give their tepid competition in the AL Central. They would likewise be more exposed in the event of less-than-elite performances by any of the aforementioned trio. In fact, that may be happening already.

A look at the sale of the Los Angeles Dodgers
It took a day longer than expected, but shortly after 10 AM PT on May 1, the sale of the Los Angeles Dodgers from Frank McCourt to Guggenheim Baseball Management LLC ("GBM") for $2 billion took place. The Dodgers' new ownership includes Mark Walter as control person, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, and Stan Kasten as CEO of the organization.
The Los Angeles Dodgers stated, "The Dodgers emerge from the Chapter 11 reorganization process having achieved its objective of maximizing the value of the Dodgers through a successful Plan of Reorganization, under which all claims will be paid. The Dodgers move forward with confidence - in a strong financial position; as a premier Major League Baseball franchise; and as an integral part of and representative of the Los Angeles community."

The Frank McCourt era blissfully comes to an end in Los Angeles, as a group led by Magic Johnson agrees to purchase the Dodgers for a whopping $2.15 billion.
It wasn't the most cash in the deal that won the day, but rather a whopping total, and maybe—just maybe—some goodwill for Frank McCourt.
Late Tuesday night, the Dodgers and Frank McCourt announced they had reached an agreement under which Guggenheim Baseball Management LLC ("GBM") will acquire the Dodgers for $2 billion upon completion of the closing process. The purchasing group includes Mark R. Walter, who is the CEO of Guggenheim Partners, a privately held global financial services firm with more than $125 billion in assets under management , as its controlling partner. However, it's former Los Angeles Laker great Earvin "Magic" Johnson who will likely be the face of the Dodgers. The group also includes Peter Guber (the Golden State Warriors co-owner who is also the chairman and chief executive of Mandalay Entertainment, which is invested in the successful Dayton Dragons minor-league team); Stan Kasten (former Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves president), Bobby Patton (oil and gas investor), and Todd Boehly (president of Guggenheim Partners ) as other key investors.

A look at the final contenders in the mix to buy the Dodgers and the chances of each succeeding
That which does not kill us makes us stronger. – Friedrich Nietzsche
Who knows how many fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers prescribe to Nietzsche's well-worn quote, but it's a fervent prayer for baseball and certainly for many who are watching the bankruptcy sale of the club. The Dodgers are more than just some random club; they are a cornerstone of the league's history.

Thank the Winter Meetings for encouraging all of Major League Baseball to forget the age-old maxim, "loose lips sink ships."
"We have sent a formal offer to Matsuzaka and his agent Scott Boras. I believe it is fair and comprehensive, and offers a great deal of security and a substantial level of compensation."

Maury sits down with the President of the Washington Nationals to talk about their new ballpark, organizational philosophy, and rebuilding the team from the ground up.
At the beginning of May, I interviewed Kasten just two days after the club was awarded to the ownership group headed by developer Ted Lerner. That interview, for Business of Baseball, covered how Kasten's relationship in the past with the Lerners made for an easy transition into the group, whether the formation of the Red Sox ownership group in 2002 had any bearing on the Nationals' ownership creation (Selig moving individuals from the groups around to get a "super group"), and what Kasten learned in the development of Turner Field that can be applied to the new Nationals stadium.

*** UPDATED x2 *** Tax hike expiration budget to get House vote today
Friday, May 23, 2014
*** UPDATE 1 *** To streamline the debate, the House only allowed one proponent and one opponent to speak.
The House voted against the budget proposal, 5-107.
So, just five people say they want these cuts. But not nearly enough favor the tax hike extension.
On to the next turn in the road.
*** UPDATE 2 *** Targets were all "No" votes…
So, the targets mostly voted against the tax hike budget, and they voted against the tax cut budget.
Except Crespo has said he's leaning against voting for the tax hike.
* Meanwhile, Madigan more than just hinted at the tax hike's fate yesterday…
That's not really a conflicting answer.
Watch the live blog for the debate.

Wednesday, Aug. 30, 2000 | 8:56 a.m.
Now more than ever this city abounds with outside catering facilities -- private kitchens, restaurants and even hotels that will come to your house, office or selected venue and throw a party.
Many of us are familiar with hotel catering, weddings and large events, but those are almost always on site. Outside caterers are flexible and will travel. Rainbow Caterers recently did a private barbecue in Newport Beach, Calif. Another, Affairs to Remember, took a crew of 17 to Hiko, Nev., 120 miles north of Las Vegas.
When you deal with an outside caterer, the best strategy is to be clear and specific about budget and group size. Generally, you can plan the menu yourself, or the catering service can do it for you. The options are endless.
Here are a half-dozen local outside caterers, and a short peek at what they do. One of them should be right for that special anniversary, event or party you are planning. But if not, you'll find dozens of other choices in the local yellow pages:
Wolfgang Puck Catering
Don't expect the superstar chef to show up at your function, even though he will do so for a hefty fee, schedule permitting. This company does anything from intimate groups of 10 to events for more than 1,000. What's more, menu items from Puck's diverse local restaurants -- Spago, Lupo, Chinois and Postrio -- make it a versatile option indeed.
At Links for Life, a charity golf event, dishes from Chinois such as pot stickers, Szechuan beef and Chinese chicken salad were featured. At a party for Virgin Atlantic, the stations were stocked with British and American dishes.
Director of Catering Kimberly Gora says lunches generally run from $25-$50 per person, dinners from $50-$150. The company teaches cooking classes and arranges special wine dinners, with Master Sommelier Greg Harrington in charge of wines. Gora says she is about to cater a posh affair at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. If you can dream it up, Wolfgang Puck Catering can probably put it together.
Piero Selvaggio Valentino Catering
Here is one more prime example of a top chef expanding into the catering business. That would be chef Luciano Pellegrini, who cooks some of the best Italian food in town at his restaurant in the Venetian, and who often comes to his events personally.
This isn't an inexpensive option, but as the chef himself says, "everything is negotiable." He recently did a deluxe wedding dinner for 30 guests at $150 per person. The menu included everything from truffles and foie gras to lobster and caviar.
But that's the high end. A $50 Pellegrini lunch might include two or three hors d'oeuvres, his famous grilled pizzas, bruschetta or stuffed zucchini flowers, a salad course, a simple pasta such as rigatoni with a tomato basil sauce, and then a main course like chicken rollatina or striped bass with an almond crust.
Dessert might be tiramisu, and the restaurant's manager Arturo Nieto, an Italian wine expert, will be happy to provide the wines in any price range, though preferably ones from his native Italy. The above prices, incidentally, do not include labor, rentals or gratuities. Whenever you arrange an outside caterer, be sure to iron out these details in advance.
Rainbow Caterers
Ed Baba, one of the owners, is quick to point out that his business is the oldest established catering company in town, aged 22 years. He refers to his business as an upscale one that has flourished because of referrals, word of mouth and consistency.
Baba and his chef, Tom Gehringer, do just about anything. Says Baba: "We aren't limited to any type of menu -- if we don't know it, we'll ask the host for a recipe, or consult a cookbook."
Breakfast in bed for two starts at $250 and features champagne, fresh-squeezed juice, New Orleans-style beignets and several other goodies. A deluxe dinner for two is a heart-stopping $675, perhaps seafood bisque, lobster under glass, abalone and other super luxury items.
But you don't have to go the highroad with Rainbow. Prices vary, but generally start at around $75 per person, with a minimum of eight guests. Ask for the whole roasted beef tenderloin, one of their enduring specialties.
Rosie's Catering and Private Parties
This fledgling operation belongs to Michael and Wendy Jordan, chef-owners of the excellent Rosemary's Restaurant. Says Wendy Jordan: "We get lots of request for pass-around cocktail parties, but if you want ribs in the backyard, we'll do that as well."
They just did a grand opening for a shop at Bellagio for $275, where they served such goodies as preserved lemon shrimp salad, new potatoes with chive cream and caviar, seared New York strip steak and a variety of pastries.
There is no real minimum, so be prepared to negotiate. "I've done sit down dinners for couples," Jordan says. What's more, she is almost always on site, rare for a chef of her stature, doing most small parties with the aid of nothing more than her trusty Ford Bronco. Signature dishes include Texas barbecued shrimp with Maytag blue cheese slaw and marinated lamb with black olives.
Affairs to Remember
Chef-owner Mike Whitesides is a full-time, on-site chef who says jokingly, "I never feed less than one person at a time." He is also quick to point out that the smaller the group, the higher the price per person. Nonetheless, he will cater an event for as little as $15 a person, and his prices usually go no higher than $100.
A sample $25 lunch from him might include a green or Caesar salad, angel hair pasta with buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil and a boneless chicken breast finished "any way the client prefers." For a little extra, he'll throw in a dessert such as bananas Foster, one of his specialties.
"Every menu I do is a custom menu," he says, "but the customer is welcome to write his own menu." That's flexibility.
Regent Las Vegas
This hotel just recently expanded into the outside catering field, and Associate Director of Catering Paul Moss says he thinks that it is the first hotel in this area to do so.
"Our off-site catering is intended for a 10-mile radius of the hotel property here in Summerlin, sort of a jewel in the crown here," Moss says. "The idea is to do high-end in-home, in-business catering and to become an integral part of the community here."
The operation will do two styles of catering. The first is a custom-designed, food, equipment and staff operation where everything is done for the guests. The second is what Moss refers to as "drop and go," where food is delivered to the door and the client sets everything up himself.
Regent Executive Chef Joseph Mulligan is at the helm, and a few of his signature dishes are pistachio-crusted sea bass, Moroccan lamb chops and filet of venison. The custom designed catering ranges from around $50 to $150 per person. The drop-and-go catering will run from $25-$75. It's a win-win proposition, if you ask me.

Identify Your Porsche® 928 Engine
These photos will show you where to find the engine model on a Porsche® 928. There will be two numbers stamped into the block just below the upper radiator hose as shown. The top number is the Engine Serial Number. Below that will be the Engine Model Number, beginning with "M28/xx" The model of the engine is the two digits after "M28/"
The Model number will identify the compression ratio, Horsepower, Torque, and factory fuel system for that motor.
Identify Your 16v Fuel Injection System
There were one of two fuel injection systems installed on the 16v Porsche 928 engines, depending on where the finished automobile was going to be shipped (North America or ROW) and which engine was selected. It is easy to tell them apart.
Open the hood and look at the intake manifold. The K-Jetronic system (or "K-Jet) is a mechanical injection system. You can identify it by the fact that each fuel injector has a hard metal line feeding it and there are no wires to the injectors. See Picture.
The L-Jetronic system (or "L-Jet") is a first-generation electronic fuel injection system. You will see there is a fuel rail that runs across all the injectors (yellow arrows) and the injectors are attached to that rail by short rubber hoses. Also, each injector has some wiring going to it (Green arrows).

Malphite Build Guide
Becoming junglephite or tankphite!written by TK3poonpad
Malphite Build

|Pretty basic tricks, but things you should keep in mind as you play.
Quick Reference!
Want a brief overview of how (Laning) Malphite is played, give this a quick read!
Summoner Spells
9/21/0 or 0/21/9
Spell Priority
, , ,
I typically go Q, E, E, W, E, R, E, etc.... with above priority in mind.
Items at Start
Item Core
Late Game Items
Core Tanking Items vs Casters
[item_icon=Force of Nature]
Core Tanking Items vs DPS
Late Game Options
Malphite is one versatile beast. He has the ability to initiate team fights, tank incredible amounts of damage (esp. early game), interrupt channeling ults, deal out some quick burst damage, and jungle if you play him right! I've played a few hundred games with Malphite with great success, but feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you have on this guide. Enjoy.
If you plan to lane with Malphite, it is best to go with 9/21/0 or 0/21/9; your choice. It is essential to have those point in the defensive mastery in order to maximize the use of your skills.
Jungling is also an option when playing Malphite. Make sure you read the runes section next, but you will be best off using 0/9/21 on your masteries for this scenario.
These runes will give you the surviveability you are going to need to be your teams tank. Beefing up on defensive stats are key with Malphite as well because you will increase the amount of damage it takes to break your passive shield. Also, the more armor you have the higher damage you will deal out with your Ground Slam.
Armor Pen is key when jungling, you should be able to jungle using the "laning marks," however you will not be as quick and will be cutting it closer than you'd like when killing the golem.

[item_icon=Heart of Gold]OR
From here you have many options. Depending on what your team needs, sometime I like to build a Frozen Mallet, however you will be ridiculed for it. Otherwise, continue with the same items listed in the laning build.
Skilling Order
I typically go Q, E, E, W, E, R, E, etc.... with above priority in mind. It is also an option to start off right away with your Ground Slam and build it up similarly. It really depends on what you are laning against and how you choose to play.
Ground Slam is obviously much better for farming multiple low minions at once, however seismic shard is useful for harassing at a distance and picking up minions if you are being kept back from the lines of battle.
Jungle Skilling Order goes as follows: E, W, E, Q, E, R, E, etc... Getting Brutal Strikes at level 2 speeds up the time it takes you to kill jungle monsters significantly with its increased armor/damage active and the passive splash damage does not hurt either!
Summoner Abilities
My personal favorites:
- This provides you with some extra damage and killing ability to finish off pesky heroes (e.g. Tryndamere, Mundo, or anyone with a flash or invis)
Also acceptable:
This is 100% essential to jungling.
or are the most appealing secondary options but my preference is flash because of its ability to jump walls in sticky situations.
Jungle Strategy
First I will give you the order of the camps and then will go into further strategy detail.
Begin at Blue buff golem, then dance with some wolves, continue to wraith camp, red buff, and finally the golems.
Before picking up your blue, make sure that you and your team are patrolling (or camping) in bushes around to make sure you are not going to be ganked right off the bat. If you do not get blue on your first try, you are quickly gimped and will have to come back to it later. When killing blue, keep spamming your ground slam and use smite when its a bit under half hp for the kill. Make sure to use your health potion as soon as your rock armor crumbles to deter the amount of damage you're taking. Level up your Brutal Strikes and carry on through the forest.
Make sure to use health potions as the previous one wears off, and if you continue unmolested you should not have more than two health pots left when you begin red buff. Recall after final ogres to purchase some items and feel free to pick up respawned camps, ward dragon (suggested against teams with jungle), search for other team's jungle, or gank lanes. Ganking, however, is not very effective until level 6 because you do not have any way to quickly initiate battle or stun the opponent.
Pretty basic tricks, but things you should keep in mind as you play.
A few things to note when battling (or running):
1) When you first turn level 6, you have the ability to kill just about any champion (of comparable level of course) when they are not full health. Make sure you have the mana and that ignite is not on cooldown when you level. Charge them with your , activate , follow it with a and and a few big rock punches and you should have a kill.
2) You can use your flash and ult back to back and it will be very useful in some situations. For example if someone is getting away but it too far for your ult, you can flash closer and then ult. Also these skills have the ability to go over and through most cliffs/tree lines on LoL, so use that to your advantage.
3) It is a near-must that you initiate team battles using your ult. During those long stand off near turrets when people are shuffling around looking for an advantage do not be afraid to throw yourself in on a squishy that has stepped out of place. Your team will follow and the fight will now be underway. Depending on the time of game, your shield will be able to absorb a few turret shots and you will be able to easily back down without dying.
Keep these things in mind and you should have some great success using Malphite. I hope this was useful and please send me your construct criticism.

Jacksonville, FL - Memorial Health and St. Vincent's HealthCare have come to an agreement over the development of a Memorial Health proposed 85-bed acute care hospital on Jacksonville's Westside.
Memorial Health was granted a Certificate of Need (CON) by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) late last year. St. Vincent's HealthCare originally opposed construction of the new hospital but a series of negotiations over several months resulted in a solution agreeable to both parties.
"We are delighted that the barriers to convenient, quality health care have been eliminated for the Westside," said James B. Wood, President & CEO of Memorial Hospital. "In our extensive discussions with residents of the Westside, we have repeatedly heard of their desire to have ready access to emergency care, specialty care, and a hospital. With this agreement, we now have the go-ahead to begin to work with the Westside community to design the health care system of the future."

DuPont Announces Second Settlement
According to DuPont, the European manufacturer allegedly was engaged in inappropriate export of high-value HFC blend refrigerants into the Asia-Pacific market. The infringement alleged by DuPont was primarily focused on the manufacturer exceeding the scope of its authorization to manufacture, market, and sell DuPont™ Suva® HFC-404A.
This is the second out-of-court settlement that DuPont has reached this year over HFC refrigerant blend patent infringement. An earlier settlement, announced in February, also involved a major fluorochemicals manufacturer.

"Oh, you do that 700 Club website, right?"
"Yeah, no. The 700 LEVEL. It's not religious. I don't run any nightclubs in Northern Liberties either."
I've had that conversation countless times. But it's okay, people who have no idea what the 700 level at Vet Stadium was, I'll forgive you.
Not surprisingly, the short 700 Club segment on the Christian Broadcasting Network which aired as part of the sponsored program on the CW focuses on Ben Revere's relationship with Jesus and the challenges he overcame to actually play Major League Baseball.
After proving himself for 4 seasons in the minors, Ben was called up to the Twins. Now with the Phillies, the undersized outfielder is in his 3rd year in the big leagues. He's says it's not just his talent that has gotten him to the big leagues, but the Lord. "It's a humbling, it's a humbling thing. It helps me grow up. It really helps you grow up. Because you see these little kids there who look up to you. And they'd be like, 'Man, you're my hero.' I'm like, 'I should not be your hero. Jesus should be your hero. I'm playing this for Him. It's just playing this game; I'm never playing for myself. I'm always going to play for the Big Man upstairs. Because He gave me this, I mean, He gave me the chance to do this."
It also includes the line:
Anyone who's played with Ben will tell you that his best quality isn't his ability to catch pop flies, but his charismatic personality that's rooted in his faith in the Lord.
Oh, we know nobody is going to tell us his best quality is his ability to catch pop flies. We know.
You can read more about it here and watch the video here.

Liddick: Barack Obama by the numbers
October 22, 2012
As we steel ourselves for the last foul stretch of this season of slander and calumny – early voting began yesterday – here are a few things to consider about our president and his administration. With minimal comment, the following is Barack Obama, by the numbers.
> 5.5 trillion – dollars of new debt accumulated in less than four years by the president, who as a candidate pledged to "cut the deficit in half" during his first term. His administration estimates there will be $1.13 trillion of new debt this year – more than twice what it was in the last year of George W. Bush's presidency.
> 1.03 trillion – dollars spent in our FY 2011 budget for entitlements. Forty percent of that amount was borrowed money.
> $875 billion – dollars spent in Obama's ARRA "stimulus" bill, intended to keep the unemployment rate below 8 percent by providing "shovel-ready" jobs.
> Between 200,000 and 1.1 million – jobs created by the stimulus bill, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Studies by George Mason University's Mercatus Center indicate that almost half of these are not new, but are simply preexisting jobs now being funded by tax dollars. You do the math.
> 44 – consecutive months the unemployment rate was above 8 percent during the Obama presidency. And if you believe that the unemployment rate is now 7.8 percent because we've been creating jobs like mad over the past year instead of finding ever more creative ways not to count the unemployed, I've got some Florida real estate to sell you. We'll just have to wait until the tide goes out…
Recommended Stories For You
> $763 billion – what the deficit would have been in 2011 had the "1 percent" been dispossessed of every last dime of their income – something a government gets to do once. As the White House knows only too well but will not admit, we cannot tax our way out of the hole in which our spending habits landed us, no matter how appealing the "fairness" argument might be.
> 142 million – working Americans in August, 2012, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In August of 2008, 145.5 million Americans were working. The Obama Administration crows that it "created or saved" 4.5 million jobs, but the BLS can't seem to find them. Instead, 3.5 million fewer Americans are working now than in mid-2008. More than 600,000 Americans were dropped off the rolls in the past three months, the real reason the unemployment rate has fallen.
> 47 million – Americans now receiving Federal food assistance, a marker for poverty. Note that if one simply divided our Federal entitlement budget by this number, it's $200,000 per person. Would one-third that amount be enough to "end poverty as we know it?" And what does it tell you when federal antipoverty programs could be more efficiently handled by simply handing out $100 bills on the street corner?
> 6.1 million – Americans who have given up looking for work entirely in the past three years.
> 4.5 million – middle class Americans whose taxes will go up courtesy of Obamacare, the brainchild of the President who has repeatedly promised "never to raise taxes on the middle class…" So says the Congressional Budget Office, which notes that an additional 1.5 million people and businesses in higher income brackets will also see tax increases.
> $4,511 – decline in Colorado's median household income during the Obama recession. $400 of that occurred last year. Democrats and their hangers-on insist this is proof that things are getting better – because they are getting worse less quickly.
> 4 – US diplomats, including an Ambassador, killed in an al-Qaeda planned attack on our mission in Benghazi, Libya on Sept. 11, 2012.
> 3 – days of intense questioning before the White House finally admitted the Benghazi attack might – repeat, might – be the work of terrorists, not just a result of "…continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims," to use our Cairo Embassy's phrase. Even the "new to foreign policy" team of Romney and Ryan got this right before the White House.
> 2 – weeks during which the administration continued to misrepresent the Benghazi attack while knowing it was the work of an al-Qaeda linked terrorist group. To add insult to injury, we now also know the administration received warnings of such an attack from multiple sources, but ignored them.
> $3.81 – Average price per gallon of unleaded gas last weekend. It was $1.82 when George W. Bush left office.
> 1.2 – percent growth rate in the past quarter – revised downward from 1.7 percent. The most optimistic projections for annual growth this year is 1.5 percent.
> Zero – reasons to vote to return this president, with his record of division and debt, dissembling, discouragement and defeatism, to another term.
So go vote. And choose wisely.

VERMILION — Handmade tables — now waterlogged — sat in a pile of ice and a thin layer of mud in the corner of Lou Kuhnle's basement workshop Tuesday. They were products of hours of work, but since Saturday, most of them had been ruined.
"(The water) turns everything upside down and then you've lost everything," Kuhnle's son, Lou Kuhnle Jr., said.
The Kuhnles were one of many families affected by flooding in Vermilion over the weekend that soaked basements and left piles of ice in the yards closest to the Vermilion River.
On Saturday, an ice jam in the river near Mill Hollow reached 14 feet, flooding areas downriver with water and ice. Mayor Eileen Bulan said the city was forced to evacuate six families from their homes on Saturday afternoon as a result of the flooding. Houses around Riverside Drive and the string of buildings near the Olympic Outing Club off of West River Road were affected the most, she said.
For Lou Kuhnle Sr., who has lived in his home near the Olympic Outing Club for 35 years, the flooding in his basement was a shock.
Kuhnle and his son have spent the past two days clearing his basement of water and mud, trying to clean and salvage everything they can. Kuhnle said the basement held his workshop where he made and painted wooden tables as part of a retirement hobby.
The water — which reached about five feet high in his basement — ruined almost $20,000 worth of his tools and destroyed much of his handiwork, Kuhnle said.
Antique chairs and tables — some of which dated to the early 1900s — lay on the floor of his basement, coated in mud and destroyed by the water.
Though Kuhnle said he raised all of his possessions up a few feet in preparation for the water, he didn't expect the flooding would be so bad.
"This is the worst it's ever been," Kuhnle said.
Riverside Drive resident George Hammond agreed. Hammond, on vacation in California during the flooding, came home Sunday to find a "wall" of ice blocking the door to his backyard. In his garage, a pool of water several feet high floated his belongings, including car tires. A basement refrigerator lay overturned and his car, which was parked across the street, was filled with water.
"It's amazing how water can move things," Hammond said.
In the two days following his return home, Hammond chipped away enough of the ice to open his door and cleared the water and most of the mud from his garage.
"It's a multi-stage process," he said, adding that he had a lot of cleaning and salvaging left to do. "It teaches you."
Hammond and the Kuhnles, who all have lived in Vermilion for years, know that it is only a matter of time before the next flood threatens to cause more damage to their homes. The ice that has built up outside houses along the river will melt when the weather gets warmer, and both families said they have to be prepared.
"The next one could be just as bad," Lou Kuhnle Jr. said.

Though already into the first few months of it's theatrical re-release, there is still plenty of dates to catch. And any fan of horror knows that any chance to see "Evil Dead" on the big screen is a must.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – Grindhouse Releasing has set the first dates for its big-screen revival of Sam Raimi's EVIL DEAD, scheduled to begin in January 2010.
Landmark Theaters will present the director's 35mm print of EVIL DEAD at special midnight shows in Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle, New York, Houston, Dallas, and Los Angeles in the first quarter of 2010. The 1981 horror classic will also play the Alamo Drafthouse in North Austin, and a big EVIL DEAD celebration is planned in Portland, Or.
Endorsed by Raimi, producer Rob Tapert, and star/co-producer Bruce Campbell, Grindhouse Releasing's reissue of EVIL DEAD will hit theaters across North America in the coming year.
"We've had tremendous response to our announcement that EVIL DEAD has returned," says David Szulkin, head of theatrical bookings for Grindhouse Releasing. "We want to show it in as many cities as we can, and encourage fans to contact us and petition their local theater to screen the movie."
Grindhouse Releasing has designed a new full-color movie poster for the theatrical release. Designed by Tad Leger, the collectible one-sheet features rare images from the original movie poster photo shoot by Mike Ditz.
"Nothing can prepare an audience for what they are about to see, because nothing punishes an audience like EVIL DEAD — especially on the big screen," says Bruce Campbell. "I'm really glad it's back. People are gonna be hurt."

Cruel Iditarod glamorized by USA Network and sponsors.
From the Sled Dog Action Coalition, http://www.helpsleddogs.org :
USA Network aired a program that glamorized the cruel Iditarod dog sled race and the relationship between the mushers and their dogs. The truth is that mushers treat their dogs abominably.
Mushers force their dogs to live in concentration camp lots attached to 5 foot chains in their own urine and filth. The dogs are beaten into submission, unwanted puppies are shot in the head, and dogs are skinned for fur. In the Iditarod the dogs are forced to race 1,150 miles over a grueling terrain in 9 to 14 days, which is the approximate distance between Orlando and New York City.
In this year's race, a sick dog was sent to a prison to be cared for by inmates and received no veterinary care. He was chained up in the cold and died. Another dog died by suffocating on his own vomit. The program did not mention these deaths. It also did not mention that mushers often sleep on their sleds while the dogs race, or that many mushers hallucinate during the race from lack of sleep.
Please write to the companies that sponsored the USA Network program. A sample letter and contact information are below.
BOYCOTT: If you decide to boycott, please say so in your letter.
Your company sponsored the USA Network program which glamorized the cruel Iditarod dog sled race and the relationship between mushers and their dogs. The truth is that mushers treat their dogs abominably. Please stop promoting this abusive race and all of the evils associated with it.
In the Iditarod, dogs are forced to run 1,150 miles over a grueling terrain in 9 to 14 days, which is the approximate distance between Orlando and New York. Dog deaths and injuries are common in the race. Jon Saraceno, sports columnist for USA Today, called the race "Ihurtadog" and "an outrage." Fox sportscaster Jim Rome called it "I-killed-a-dog." The Iditarod is condemned by animal protection groups across the United States.
Please visit the Sled Dog Action Coalition website http://www.helpsleddogs.org to see pictures, and for more information. Be sure to read the quotes on http://www.helpsleddogs.org/remarks.htm. All of the material on the site is true and verifiable.
In almost all of the 29 Iditarod races, at least one dog death has occurred. The first race is reported to have resulted in the deaths of 15 to 19 dogs. In 1997, the Anchorage Daily News, which is a strong supporter of the race, admitted that "at least 107 (dogs) have died." Since that report, ten more dogs have died in the Iditarod, bringing the grand total of dogs who have died in the Iditarod to at least 117. There is no official count of dog deaths available for the race's early years and this count relies only on a reported number of deaths.
Causes of death have included strangulation in towlines, internal hemorrhaging after being gouged by a sled, liver injury, heart failure, and pneumonia. "Sudden death" and "external myopathy," a condition in which a dog's muscles and organs deteriorate during extreme or prolonged exercise, have also occurred. In 1985 a musher kicked his dog to death. The 1976 Iditarod winner, Jerry Riley, was banned for life in 1990 after being accused of striking his dog with a snow hook (a large, sharp and heavy metal claw). In 1996 one of Rick Swenson's dogs died while he mushed his team through waist-deep water and ice.
In this year's race, a sick dog was sent to a prison to be cared for by inmates and received no veterinary care. He was chained up in the cold and died. Another dog died by suffocating on his own vomit.
Tom Classen, retired Air Force colonel and Alaskan resident for over 40 years, tells us that the dogs are beaten into submission:
"They've had the hell beaten out of them.""You don't just whisper into their ears, OK, stand there until I tell you to run like the devil.' They understand one thing: a beating. These dogs are beaten into submission the same way elephants are trained for a circus. The mushers will deny it. And you know what? They are all lying." -USA Today, March 3, 2000 in Jon Saraceno's column
Beatings and whippings are common. Jim Welch says in his book Speed Mushing Manual, "I heard one highly respected (sled dog) driver once state that "Alaskans like the kind of dog they can beat on.'" "Nagging a dog team is cruel and ineffective...A training device such as a whip is not cruel at all but is effective." "It is a common training device in use among dog mushers...A whip is a very humane training tool."
The race has led to the proliferation of concentration camp dog kennels in which the dogs are treated very cruelly. Many kennels have over 100 dogs and some have as many as 200.
It is standard for the dogs to spend their entire lives outside tethered to metal chains that can be as short as four feet long. In 1997 the United States Department of Agriculture determined that the tethering of dogs was inhumane and not in the animals' best interests. The chaining of dogs as a primary means of enclosure is prohibited in all cases where federal law applies. A dog who is permanently tethered is forced to urinate and defecate where he sleeps, which conflicts with his natural instinct to eliminate away from his living area. Because he is close to his own to his own fecal material, a dog can easily catch deadly parasitical diseases by stepping in or sniffing his own waste.
Mushers believe in "culling" or killing unwanted dogs, including puppies. Dogs who are permanently disabled in the Iditarod, or who are unwanted for any reason, are killed with a shot to the head. Dogs are skinned for their fur, which is then used on mittens and parkas.
Iditarod dogs are unhappy prisoners with no chance of parole. Please end your company's association with the Iditarod dog sled race.

After an afternoon in the sun and a pina colada or two, it's easy enough to confuse the two biggest of Spain's Balearic Islands. Majorca and Menorca sit side by side in the western Mediterranean Sea, and each gives an equally warm welcome to Britain's sunseekers.
Majorca is the bigger island by far, but Menorca matches it in sizzling hot summers and postcard-perfect beaches.
But just as life in London's Camden couldn't be more different than in Westminster, despite those boroughs being cheek-to-cheek, holidays in Menorca and Majorca are worlds apart.
When size does matter?
- Menorca is smaller and less developed than Majorca, despite having some top-notch resorts and attractions. Away from the crowds, Menorca gives you plenty of room to unwind at a serene pace. It's also less transformed by tourist tastes than Majorca or sister-island Ibiza, so it offers a more authentic slice of life in the Balearics – and often at lower prices.
Best for: blissed-out breaks for families and couples
- Majorca comes into its own at night because its buzzing resort scene makes for a big choice in nightclubs – and more people to get the party started. Yet Majorca's enduring popularity as a destination hasn't diminished its ability to deliver the kind of beach and mountain beauty that makes it a millionaires' playground – and a magnet for the likes of Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas, Claudia Schiffer and Michael Schumacher.
Best for: fun-packed party breaks and celebrity spotting
That something special
Menorca's Camí de Cavalls is an ancient network of paths that was originally built to defend the island's perimeter. Soldiers once patrolled it on horseback – hence the name, which means 'path of horses'.
- It's now been restored to provide 116 miles of coastal paths for walking, cycling or horseriding. The Camí de Cavalls is easily reached by road, and it provides access on foot to some of Menorca's most out-of-the-way beaches.
- The trail is divided up into sections (the shortest is 3.7 miles and the longest 8.5 miles), which are classed easy, moderate or difficult.
Best for: exploring the coast at your own pace
- Majorca's Palma: in contrast to the high-rise hotels and foam parties of Magaluf, Palma's old city is a dignified reminder of Majorca's long and intriguing back-story.
- Its Gothic cathedral, Arab baths and Medieval castle, all atop Palma's ancient Roman ruins, tell of serial conquests and reinventions – and create a spellbinding setting for wandering along Palma's leafy boulevards and winding lanes, or indulging in its sophisticated hotels and restaurants.
Best for: soaking up the atmosphere
Best of all, if you can't decide between relaxing on Menorca or living it up on Majorca, they're just a quick plane hop (37min) or ferry ride (60–90min) apart.
If you're particularly partial to Majorca or Menorca, let us know which one and why!
I have to go to Mahon every September for their Fiesta, it's a great four days with NO health and safety people in sight. The horses are beautiful and the menorceans know how to party.
Sounds great! We all love a party! Thanks for your comment.

Although the number of outpatient visits for chronic abdominal pain (CAP) declined by almost a fifth from 1997–1998 to 2006–2008, visits during which an opioid was prescribed more than doubled, according to a new study. CAP is a common reason for outpatient visits, and its management is often a challenge for clinicians. Nevertheless, opioid analgesics have not been proven effective for treating CAP and have been linked to drug misuse and gastrointestinal symptoms, including worsening pain. Based on two national surveys, each conducted a decade apart (the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey), the researchers estimated that there were 14.8 million outpatient visits (2,464 per 100,000 population) for CAP from 1997 through 1999, which decreased by 17.6 percent (to 12.2 million outpatients visits, or 1,863 per 100,000 population) for 2006 through 2008. Over the same period, the proportion of visits for CAP in which the patient received at least one opioid prescription increased from 5.9 percent during 1997–1999 to 12.2 percent during 2006–2008.
The likelihood of receiving an opioid prescription was highest for patients 25 to 50 years old (4.8 times more likely than for ages 18 to 24 years). In contrast, opioid prescriptions were least commonly given to uninsured patients (12 percent of the rate for privately insured patients) and blacks (34 percent of the rate for whites). The researchers call for more studies to better understand the reasons for and consequences of these trends.
This study was funded in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS19468). More details are in "Increasing frequency of opioid prescriptions for CAP in US outpatient clinics," by Spencer D. Dorn, M.D., M.P.H., Patrick D. Meek, D.Pharm., M.S.P.H., and Nilay D. Shah, Ph.D., in the December 2011 Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 9(12), pp. 1078-1085.

I knew joining this massive swap of baked goods was a going to be a lot of fun the day I dropped my three packages of a dozen cookies off at the post office. Upon seeing my three perishable boxes addressed to Addicted to Recipes, Cooker Girl, and A Half Baked Life, the desk attendant asked, "Are you and your girlfriends cookie whores?"
Something like it, I guess.
I'll admit I am a sucker for a good, homemade cookie, but the best part of this swap is all the good that comes from the simple act of sharing cookies. First, a huge donation was made to Cookies for Kids' Cancer from the registration fee every blogger paid to participate. Second, I got to make a few new blogger friends through the process of the swap. Third, the post office worker and I shared a few (awkward) laughs, and he ended up dishing out his wife's "secret" recipe for saffron snickerdoodles. Talk about a sweet deal.
This year, I had the pleasure of receiving Cranberry Bittersweet Chocolate Shortbread from Jess at Urban Sacred Garden,
Jammin' Thumbprint Cookies from Christy at My Invisible Crown,
and Grinch Cookies from fellow Wisconsinite Sarah at Food, Fun and Life in Waukesha.
Check out each of their blogs for the recipes!
I had a hard time deciding what kind of cookies to make for my matches, but eventually settled on a simple but poignant (can cookies be poignant?) recipe for Honey-Vanilla Macaroons. These little guys have only five ingredients, not a grain of cane sugar, and all the toasty goodness one would demand from a homemade coconut macaroon. Make sure you find shredded, unsweetened coconut for this recipe — it's available at most health food stores and some supermarkets.
Honey-Vanilla Macaroons
Makes ~48
6 egg whites
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ cup honey (if using raw honey, warm to a liquid consistency)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, whisk egg whites and salt until stiff, about 2 minutes. Fold in honey, vanilla and coconut. Drop batter onto a parchment paper, one rounded tablespoonful at a time. Pinch each macaroon at the top to create peak. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned.
What is your favorite holiday cookie recipe, and who will you share it with this year?

Hypoglycemia is a blood glucose (blood sugar) level below normal. Sometimes it is called low blood sugar or insulin reaction.
A person with diabetes taking insulin is at risk for hypoglycemia, usually when the blood glucose is less than 70 mg / dL. Check with your healthcare provider or diabetes educator for specific guidelines.
If your child is having any of these symptoms, test the blood glucose. If the blood glucose is less than 70 mg / dL or you are unable to test blood glucose and see symptoms of hypoglycemia, follow the "Treatment for Hypoglycemia" (below).
You need to treat hypoglycemia right away. To treat, take 15 grams of fast-acting carbohydrate, such as one of the following, as soon as symptoms start:
If treating a child, do not leave him or her alone. Re-test blood glucose in 15 minutes. Repeat the treatment if blood glucose is still low and re-test in 15 minutes. If blood glucose continues to be low, call your healthcare provider or dial 911.
If the blood glucose gets too low, it can cause a person to become unconscious (pass out) and / or have a seizure.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Hello, my name is XXXXX XXXXX I would love to assist you. Give me a moment to research your issue and I will answer promptly.
That is a good question.
It really depends on teh creditor, but the answer is Yes.
They have to agree to settle for less, but it happens often.
For example, if you get a judgment for $4,000.00 and call the creditor and say "I know it is for $4k, but if I give you $2,500.00 this week, can that be a final settlement on the account?"
Quite often they will say yes to that.
The preference period of 90 days applies to all creditors who received $600.00 or more per creditor. So if 4 creditors got $1,000.00 each, yes the Trustee is likely to do that. Now if 10 creditors got $400 each, then the Trustee cannot go after that money.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.
I will be off and on throughout the day and evening, so I will check back periodically to see if you have further questions.
Good luck, I know frivolous lawsuits can be awfully annoying and stressful, so I hope it works out for you.
As always, be sure to provide a positive rating when I have completely answered your questions.
Have a great day!!!!\
i plan to reaffirm a few debts that were my personal debts not my husband's business debts that i guaranteed. i therefore think a seven should be possible since we owe the small business administration over a million dollars and have no assets. (we were 9/11 victims and took out loans that they promised would become grants but never did.) personally i owe about 20,000 and i've been current on all my debts. i am also repaying non-government business debts.
should i care if the trustee does a clawback? it's such a small amount of money it seems hardly worth their time.
No, a clawback does not affect you at all, so it is ok.
Basically they will take the money back and then spread it evenly amongst the other creditors. This can tend to help you at times because it can take money from a unsecured creditor and redistribute it to a priority creditor, like taxes, so that you get credit for the money.
i was planning to pay some past due sales tax from the company before filing. i would have to pay it anyway. i assume that tax is an amount that is not subject to clawback.

To the Editor:
Edina homeowners residing in the Parkwood Knolls neighborhood have petitioned the Hopkins School Board to secede and join the Edina School District, as reported in the Nov. 22 Sun Sailor.
Cry me a river.
These residents knew the school district boundaries when they bought their homes. Moreover, they have the option of open enrolling in Edina or any other district under the law.
So here's my letter to the Hopkins School Board:
I am writing to express in the strongest terms my objection the proposed action. I am a Hopkins resident, taxpayer and parent of a Hopkins School District child. You are accountable to district residents as a whole, not a tiny, disgruntled segment that thinks its property values will go up if its neighborhood is allowed to join the "prestigious" Edina School District.
The only conditions under which I would support the departure are if one, lost tax revenues due to the departure were made up in perpetuity, dollar for dollar (I'm not sure how this would be accomplished) or two, a numerical majority of district voters – as a whole – voiced their support for this effort through a special referendum, the cost of which to be borne by the group advocating secession.

Detailed Description:
The researchers hypothesize that emergency contraception (EC) will initiate the changes associated with atresia or ovulatory failure at all stages of follicular development and that the image attributes associated with atresia will be similar regardless of the diameter of the dominant follicle when ovarian suppression is initiated. Second, changes associated with atresia may be observed, but ovulation of the dominant follicle is unimpeded.

In the past few weeks, the Ogg family of patent-free media formats have received something of a boost. Some developments playing to Ogg's advantage have been unintentional, such as Microsoft's renewed claims to ownership of open-source software patents and online music retailers' shift towards DRM-free sales. Others, such as the Free Software Foundation's launch of a new Ogg awareness campaign at PlayOgg.org, have been directly proactive. Read more about the re-kindled interest in Ogg in the Wired News story, "How to Live an Open-Source Musical Life with Ogg Vorbis."
We got the chance to ask Ogg creator and Xiph.org co-founder Chris "Monty" Montgomery a few questions about these developments and what they mean for the future of Ogg, Digital Rights Management technologies and those ubiquitous little music machines.
Monty's answers, sent to us over e-mail (he says he was far too busy hacking code for a phone call) are presented here verbatim.
Wired News: Would you care to comment on the Free Software Foundation's move to promote Ogg?
Monty: I've been wondering when they'd finally get around to it. I also suspect the position they're taking has more to do with patents than DRM although the intersection of the two in the news might be what finally prompted them to act.
Patents have been the elephant in the room for so long it's hard to remember when that wasn't true. DRM, on the other hand, has been dead on arrival since it first popped up. It doesn't practically exist except in a legal fantasy world.
Case in point: for some reason I can't get Microsoft's Windows Media DRM to work right on my one Windows machine. The player always crashes while playing licensed files. So I took the easy route; rather than figuring out why WMP is crashing, which I don't have time to do, I just downloaded a program to strip all the DRM off Windows Media files. Then they play fine on the Windows machine and I can also play them on Mac and Linux.
WN: Do you think the format stands a better chance of adoption now that Amazon and Apple are moving partially to DRM-free sales?
Monty: First off, "DRM-free" is a very good thing. That doesn't really have a lot to do with Ogg aside from the fact that we also strongly discourage DRM. MP3, which is still the defacto standard everywhere, never had DRM so this is more about Apple and Amazon finally owning up to reality. No customer wants DRM, period. Everybody who wasn't sitting on $100,000,000 already knew that.
The good it does for Ogg is just part of the good it does the whole industry. The precedent of a few large players stepping up and saying "DRM does nothing but drive away customers" makes it more certain that DRM-free formats (like Ogg) will not become illegal. Don't laugh, it's been a real if somewhat farfetched fear. For example, see the Media Technologies lawsuit that claims any digital media file for sale in the US that doesn't include DRM violates the DMCA.
Ogg's lack of dominance can be boiled down to three reasons that have nothing to do with DRM.
WN: Is the lack of player support on the iPod still going to stand in the way?
Monty: Of course it does. Every iPod in the country could offer Ogg support tomorrow if Apple wanted it. However, Apple is a member of MPEG which owns and licenses all the patents on the mainstream formats (MP3 and AAC) and by adopting Ogg they'd be cutting into their own license revenue stream.
Remember: everyone not part of MPEG is paying Apple for every MPEG player, every MPEG file, every MPEG piece of software they produce. If they used Ogg instead, Apple wouldn't get that money. So, it's obvious Apple has no reason to encourage a switch.
Snappy hipster commercials aside, Apple is in business to make money, just like everyone else. We've been saying for years that there's more money to be made without DRM than with it, and a few very large players are finally coming to agree. It's a nice coincidence that DRM-free is also better for the public and our country as well. Once we also finally get across that there's more money to be made without software patents, we'll have achieved a large chunk of our mission.
By the way, not many people realize Microsoft also has to license the MPEG patents for Windows Media; MPEG has a near complete monopoly on digital media technology. We're pretty much the only independent technology left today.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.
