Speaking of patent lawsuits - somebody pointed out to me that both Oracle and Google are members of the Open Invention Network. This struck me as odd - doesn't the OIN license require you to promise not to assert your patents against Linux systems? And, uhm, isn't that kind of what Oracle is doing right now? Well, yes, they might be suing a Linux System - but they're not suing a Linux System as defined by the OIN.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A man accused of killing seven people at a small Northern California Christian college is not mentally fit for trial, a judge ruled before temporarily suspending criminal proceedings until the defendant is deemed competent.
Alameda County Superior Court Judge Carrie Panetta on Monday put on hold the criminal case against One Goh. Two psychiatric evaluations concluded that Goh suffers from paranoid schizophrenia.
Goh is charged with seven counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder in the April 2 attack at Oikos University in Oakland. He has pleaded not guilty and remains jailed.
Alameda County Assistant Public Defender David Klaus said after Monday's brief hearing that both doctors who examined Goh found that he suffers from hallucinations and delusions and harbors a deep mistrust of people, including those trying to help him.
"He's certainly a deeply troubled man," Klaus said. "He's locked up in shame, remorse and sadness. He's not eating, he's not taking care of himself."
Alameda County Assistant District Attorney Stacie Pettigrew declined to comment after the hearing.
Authorities have said Goh, a former Oikos student, planned the killing spree at the school that caters to Korean immigrants after becoming angry with school officials over a tuition dispute. He previously decided to drop out of the school's nursing program.
Panetta ordered Goh to return to court on Jan. 28, when Klaus said discussions will likely focus on where his client should be placed in order to regain his competency.
Eventually, Klaus said, the plan would be for Goh to go to a facility, likely Napa State Hospital, where "he is expected to be restored to competency with a combination of medication and therapy."
There was no timetable on when Goh could stand trial, Klaus said.
Relatives of some victims have suggested Goh may be faking his condition. Klaus said his client is not trying to avoid anything.
"I just want to make sure it's understood that this is a temporary suspension of proceedings in this case," Klaus said. "This is really about his present mental status and the Constitution demands he be competent and be able to understand and rationally participate in the proceedings.
"And, right now, he can't do that."

Though associated with high-tech design, Ron Arad's multi-decade career goes back to pre-digital days. Some of his earliest pieces, like hand-wrought chairs, are obviously handcrafted and retain all the traces of small-scale production. Often working in steel, Arad now capitalizes on new technology—remote controlling his own designs and fabricating Bluetooth-enabled furniture. In 2005, he designed crystal chandeliers for Swarovski that display text messages in LED lights. Arad is responsible for, among other spaces, the technology floor at Selfridge's in London and a Yohji Yamamoto boutique in Tokyo. "Boredom," says Arad, "is the mother of creativity."

Some of the more experienced among the readers can surely configure CUPS with Samba by editing configuration files with closed eyes. This kind of exercise is useful and fun the first few times, but it can quickly become a mundane task if it has to repeated often. Wouldn't it be nice if we had a distribution that could do it near-automatically? In other words, wouldn't it be nice if we just used Xandros? And despite our natural resistance to use GUI for any kind of configuration, could we still love Xandros? Robert Storey investigates.

I'm very disappointed that John McCain would put someone as inexperienced and lacking in foreign policy and national security background as Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from the presidency.
UPDATE: During lunch, I saw Palin's speech. She looks great on the stump and speaks very well. Her husband, it turns out, is a member of the Steelworkers Union, and looks like he was sent by central casting.
Palin praised Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton for blazing the trail. She agreed that Hillary had put 18,000,000 cracks in the glass ceiling. She then added, "it turns out women aren't finished yet."
Sadly, but not surprisingly, identity politics has run amok in this country. In my view, Palin wouldn't have been seriously considered for vice president but for her gender. But at least she appears to be a very substantial person with real potential for high office.

In May 2003 the centrist Democratic Leadership Council published its yearly list of "100 New Democrats to Watch." The DLC frequently puts out these lists as a way to publicly solidify its identification with the New Democratic movement within the Democratic Party. The 2003 list, however, contained a number of questionable additions, including then-Illinois State Senator Barack Obama. As a state senator, Obama had continually passed progressive legislation–a record that he vowed to add to when he began his run for the US Senate on a platform of clear opposition to the Patriot Act, the Iraq War and NAFTA, all positions anathema to the DLC. The puzzling addition caused The Black Commentator magazine to wonder, a month after the DLC list came out, whether Obama had been "corrupted" by the centrist group. Obama's reply to the Commentator was indicative of how the DLC plays the "New Democrat" card.
"Neither my staff nor I have had any direct contact with anybody at the DLC since I began this campaign a year ago," Obama wrote. "I don't know who nominated me for the DLC list of 100 rising stars, nor did I expend any effort to be included on the list…. I certainly did not view such inclusion as an endorsement on my part of the DLC platform." After realizing that his name appeared in the DLC's database, Obama asked to have it removed. The message was clear: The DLC needed Obama a lot more than Obama needed the DLC.
Today, the same is true for many politicians. After dominating the party in the 1990s, the DLC is struggling to maintain its identity and influence in a party beset by losses and determined to oppose George W. Bush. Prominent New Democrats no longer refer to themselves as such. The New Democratic movement of pro-free market moderates, which helped catapult Bill Clinton into the White House in 1992, has splintered, transformed by a reinvigoration of grassroots energy. A host of new donors, groups and tactics has forged a new direction for Democrats inside and outside the party, bringing together vital parts of the old centrist establishment and the traditional Democratic base. The ideological independence of the DLC, which pushed the party to the right, has come to be viewed as a threat rather than a virtue, forcing the DLC to adapt accordingly. Corporate fundraisers and DC connections–the lifeblood of the DLC–matter less and less: Witness the ascent of MoveOn.org and Howard Dean's election as chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). "It's not that the DLC changed," says Kenneth Baer, who wrote a history of the organization. "It's that the world changed around the DLC."
Today's DLC is a far cry from the anti-establishment organization created by New Democrats who captured power within the party in the Clinton era by distancing themselves from the party's traditional base and liberal candidates. After co-founding the DLC in 1985, former Congressional aide Al From aggressively expanded what had been an informal caucus of Southern and Western Congressmen into a $7-million-a-year operation at its peak in 2000. By that time it had 5,000 members, who paid $50 a pop to join; and politicians, policy wonks and lobbyists flocked to its annual conferences. The DLC's tough free-market positions, connections to big business and early media savvy enticed Clinton into becoming chair in 1990. Although the organization always took more credit than it deserved for his 1992 victory, downplaying Ross Perot's impact and Clinton's own charisma, that election nevertheless institutionalized the DLC's rising status. DLC strategists William Galston, Elaine Kamarck and Bruce Reed became top domestic policy aides in the Clinton White House. After the Republican Revolution of 1994, From told the Democrats to "get with the [DLC] program." The DLC quickly became the new Washington establishment, launching state chapters, creating a New Democratic Coalition in Congress and expanding its Progressive Policy Institute think tank. A top aide to Jesse Jackson groused of the post-Clinton Democratic Party, "The DLC has taken it over."

I would love to go but I am so scared if I left DD2 that she would wean while I was away. No matter what I would pump to keep up my supply but I really really really don't want her to wean that soon! Are there ways I could get her to get her nursing again if she doesn't show interest? I really dont' want to miss this opportunity but I don't want her to wean either. I know I have some time to think about it but I thought I'd ask for advice in the meantime. TIA!

Jobless claims decreased by 5,000 to 343,000 in the week ended June 29 from a revised 348,000 in the prior period. The ADP report showed the U.S. boosted employment by 188,000 workers in June. Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi defied protests demanding his resignation.
Equities: The SEP13 E-mini S&P 500 (CME:ESU13) is down 5 points this morning to 1602. The economic data which was released this morning, specifically the ADP report, was positive, but this market is still down slightly on the day. We believe the market is indeed concerned about the instability in Egypt, and also concerned that the good economic data will cause the Fed to taper the stimulus program later this year, thus potentially causing headwinds for the market and economy. Generally, the market is staying right around the key 1600 level before the big jobs report on Friday. The sentiment for U.S. business seems to be very high, so we still believe the market wants to head higher.
Bonds: The interest rate market continues to be quiet leading up to the non-farm payrolls report on Friday. Even with the 188K jobs figure released this morning, the bond market is not down a lot, likely due to a safe-haven bid with the goings-on in Egypt. We believe the bond market is not done going down yet, and is potentially waiting for another solid cue to make another big leg down in price.
Currencies: The Aussie dollar (FOREX:AUDUSD) looks weak to us, and is trading below our key volume pivot level of 90.30. If this currency stays below 90.30, we have our next downside target at 89.17. The US Dollar Index is in a slight pullback today, trading down 18 ticks to 83.58, still above our key pivot of 83.40. We believe the USD will rally sharply if we get a big jobs number on Friday. The Euro (FOREX:EURUSD) is also struggling today, holding below the 1.30 level, likely due to concerns about Portugal. Also, recent inflation data from Europe came in low, thus probably causing the market to believe Draghi could be more dovish for a longer period of time.
Commodities: Gold (COMEX:GCQ13) is up $12 to $1,256, after dipping down to below $1,240 last night. We believe gold is in a range trade environment at this point. $1,230 is our key line in the sand for this market. If gold gets below $1,230, it could test $1,200, and even the low of $1,179. If gold stays above $1,230, it could test the $1,275 level. We believe gold is also supported today by the Egypt circumstances. We focus on crude oil (NYMEX:CLQ13). Crude oil has broken above a key level of $100, and now is trading up $2.37 to $101.98. Its anyone's guess as to how high crude oil can go when crisis erupts in the Middle East. We believe this is a key breakout move, and would not be surprised to see crude head higher from here. Our next short term target is $103.40.

I am looking for information about this very old bear that was given to me 43 years ago by an elderly friend of my grandmothers who had him as a child herself. This bear must be at least 103 years old, with a birthday of 1908 at the latest. He is about 16 inches tall with a jointed head, arms and legs. His limbs are about 9.5 inches long. He is stuffed with straw, covered with light tan mohair (which is getting thin in spots)and has felt pads at the ends of his limbs which is worn away in areas exprosing the straw. He has a black fabric nose that was sewn on, glass or plastic eyes that sort of screw in. His left ear is torn at the seam a little where it joins his head but there is no marking. I would like to know who manufactured this bear, approximately when he was made, and how much he is worth. Thank you for your help.

19. Chapter 19
Rating 0/5 Word Count 1201 Review this Chapter
I had just empied a well sized jaguar and then turned to Edward who had stayed in the same place frozen while I hunted. He was analyzing my every move
"Nothing I'm still having trouble adjusting to the tought that you are not so breakable anymore" he gave me a half smile then added "and I'm also impreseed by your gratfullness when chasing"
"I was not always like that" I smiled to myself remembering my very first chasse
"I would have loved to be there" and then his expression becamed pained " I should have been there"
"You are here now…and I rather you see my gracefulness now than my messy first preys" I encouraged reaching to his lips and planting a small kiss, I was about to turn when he embraced me further and kissing me fireusly which suited me everytime. " I still doubt that this is all real, how can someone do something so reckless and still… I canot believe it. I don't deserve to be this happy"
"So, having me as a vampire was not so bad after all?"
"It was always the easiest solution…For me…not for you…you deserve much much better"
"I don't believe that, I think I believe that whatever course of action you or me would have taken it will end in this" I could see that this subject was still touchy for him... he had not hunted yet and I wanted him to be fed thinking on my own thirst and knowing the he would be burning too.
"Are you ready go find another jaguar" I said eager to move on, I found that even thought mountain lions where my favorite jaguars where also very doable . There was a crease of concern in his feature something I could not really but my finger on…doubt? Undesition?
"Another how many have you had already" he said mockingly I was happy to see him relax.
"What do you mean how many? I just got here"
"I thought you've been here for days" how strange "I was under the impression that Isabella Hale bought a flight ticket to travel to Sao Paulo days ago" he let a small laugh as he pronounced my last name
"Oh that…" So he knew... Amanda most have tell him "I was about to get in the plane… but the smell…to think that I had to sit there for hours" I cringed a the thought of the horror movie that would have been. " I held my breath and got out of the airport as soon as possible… Instead me and Jacob took a road trip. He accompanied me as far as Colombia, and then he returned home and I crossed the jungle.
"Wolfs" Edward said in distaste.
"Yeah they smell pretty bad don't they"
"Not to mention that they were part of the problem. Do you know that Alice can't see them? We had no idea that you where going through all that. about all that you and Amanda have been doing. " resentfulness was tick in his voice
"They helped me a lot. Jacob the most" I defended him
"I thought you died Bella" It was clear that he was using all his will to stay correct "I went back and could not find you or your scent or and Alice was unable to see you what conclusion I had left"
"So you didn't found Amanda in Forks?" That was strange how did he know then where to find me.
"No, I followed Amanda's trace, when I found her, she was not very explicit, mind games over and over I guess in her way she was trying to tell me that this was the best way , probably the only way without someone watching over you while human, but still " anger was filtring though his velvet voice, I did not pass unnoticed his hesitation when speaking like he was editing, he did not say for instance where he found her " I can not believe that she did this to you... No wonder why she was that cryptic with news like this"
He lost me there I tried to connect what he was saying, her anger towards Amanda could only mean.. the only reasonable explanation to his behavior would be that he believed she changed me "But she did not do it"
"What?" A frond appeared in his mind he was perplexed
"She did not change me"
"That is what I had understood..."
"No… of course not… it was…." But al of the sudden I realized that if he really saw Amanda, and she did not tell him what really happened she most have had her reason, I knew her enough to know that even though she was not able to live with the Collens for her diet, she was attached to the coven and considered them as family, in how much trouble will I get her? And really in the end was it really her fault that she happened to know Victoria? "someone else … I finished"
Edward expression changed from confusion, to curiosity to anger to pain? It was definitely some kind of sorrow, to anger again, being a mind reader, I could not be easy for him to not know. to realize he has been lied to or that the information was not complete
"Who was it? How did it happened"
But instead of answering his questions another click sounded in my head, for it was the first time that I realized that not only Amanda had not picked up the phone that day I called her but she had never return the call, that was not like her and if Edward was trying to find me wouldn't she come with him too? I ran trought my head once or twice the idea that the hunting trip she mentioned was only an excuse and he was trying to get in touché with the Collens before, As Edward was looking for me I had assumed that it was her who pointed to him where I might be. "Why isn't she here?"
"Where is Amanda" The reaction in his eyes was immediate this time too, fear and then intrigue. I have to admit that he composed himself rather fast even for our kind but I knew what I saw, it made me wonder how many times he had got his way by lying to me before.
"I'm sure she would have like to see you" he said surrounding my waist with his arms and planting a small kiss on my lips "but she could not come here" I knew what he was trying to do he was trying to deviate the conversation-which was working- and he was trying to dismiss the fact of Amanda's location by trying to make it sound like it was nothing to worry about… which of course made me be even more suspicious
"Is she all right ?"
"What makes you think…" he started shaking his head
"You are not as good of a liar as you think you are…." I knew he was bluffing with his your are imagining things actitude "What is that you are not telling me? "

The Granite Falls City Council used its last meeting of the year to establish some important groundwork it will need to navigate 2013.

The Granite Falls City Council used its last meeting of the year to establish some important groundwork it will need to navigate 2013.
Headlining Monday's meeting were council actions that included the approval of the 2013 budget and levy and a call for public hearing for both the proposed 2013 utility and street improvement projects.
During the previous meeting on December 3, a Truth in Taxation hearing was held to provide the public an opportunity to be educated and/or provide input in regard to the city budget.
Perhaps it was because the city was in a position to reduce the city's tax levy for 2013, but there was no public in attendance with concerns as well as no real disagreement amongst the council. Thus, the 2013 General Fund Budget and tax levy was passed expeditiously.
Overall the council approved a General Fund Budget that will increase from $2.113 million in 2012 to approximately $2.21 million for 2013, which is a difference of $97,414 or 4.61 percent. According to City Manager Bill Lavin, increases to the city's budgetary expenses were largely driven by a 16.2 percent group health insurance hike as well as increases to city salaries and fringe benefits.
Typically additional budgetary expenses must be accounted for either through cuts and/or tax increases but an unexpected increase in Local Government Aid (LGA) spared council members from having to consider such options.
During the prior three years, the amount of LGA that the city has received from the state had remained frozen. In 2013, however, a new LGA formula increased the city's allotment to $717,911, an $86,046 gain.
The total tax levy is a composite of the general fund and debt levies. In 2013 the general fund –– which is dedicated to financing annual services such as those performed by the public works and the police and fire departments –– will remain equal to the 2012 levy of $824,453, while the 2013 debt levy –– used for special projects like street and other infrastructure improvements –– is actually down $17,000 from 2012 to 687,000.
In sum, the 2013 general fund and debt levies comes to $1,511,533, which is a $17,000 or 1.13 percent decrease from last year. This means that, per capita, taxes levied will equal $525 as opposed to $527 in 2012.
Utility and Street
Improvement Projects
Plans for the city's 2013 Utility and Street Improvement Projects have evolved over the course of the year as the Granite Falls City Council and City Engineer Dave Berryman have worked to develop a plan for addressing street and utility upkeep in a fiscally responsible manner.
"Most of these projects identified haven't been touched in over 20 years. There are over 40 miles of street in the city and there's a lot to do, but you have to keep up with it. If you don't, you end up getting clobbered all at once." said Mayor Dave Smiglewski in regard to street improvement plan.
The proposed street and utility improvement projects are detailed in two separate plans.
The utility improvement projects involve a sum total of $585,000 in work that will include improvements to watermain loops, located south of Highway 212 at 9th St. and 14th Ave., and to storm sewers, located in the industrial park, the alley between 8th and 9th Ave. and at the high school track.
The estimated costs for street improvement project, meanwhile, comes to $553,000. This includes work planned for 8th St., from 7th Ave. to 10th Ave.; the alley between 10th and 11th Avenues, from 2nd St. to 3rd St.; the entrance to Memorial Park; Bergeson Drive and, finally, patching/miscellaneous projects.
The percentage of costs allotted to the city and that which will be assessed to property owners will vary depending on the particular city statute associated with a specific project. In addition, the council has proposed adjusting its assessment policy for businesses when it comes to storm sewer work in light of property owner project costs concerns.
Information detailing that which would be assessed to property owners impacted by the projects will be included within public hearing notices.
Council members unanimously approved calling for the hearing which is set to be held Tuesday, February 19 at 8:00 p.m. for the utility projects and on the same day at 8:30 p.m. for street projects.
In other news, the council made citizen board and commission appointments, designated the Advocate Tribune as the city's official newspaper and named both Granite Falls and Citizens Alliance Banks the designated depository of city funds.

WWII Remington 11/Browning A5 (Brownington?)
There's an earlier thread that addressed the same issue I had, but it's older. No biggie, but you may not like my thoughts.
The dis-assembly of every A5 and model 11 involves driving a pin out of the bolt by putting a punch through an assembly hole on the left side of the receiver. The pin falls out of a notch cut on the bottom of the ejection port. Every model 11 and A5 has this setup, except the Brownington and I think I know why. The bolt, I believe, was never meant to be dis-assembled or removed. On the left side of the receiver, there is an assembly hole. With the bolt in the correct position, there is a pin visible. Here is where trouble sets in. The pin doesn't go all the way through the bolt. Once the pin was driven into the bolt at the Remington factory, it had no way to get back out.
Why do this?
It's no secret that Remington was not keen on building mod 11's for Browning, and I can't blame them. No one wants to build product for their competition. This may have been just a little kick in the teeth as payback. I can't prove my payback theory, but there is no mechanical way possible to remove the bolt without destroying something.

Did Remington ever make model 11's for Browning? If so, I didn't know that. I suppose that it was a wartime situation. My Remington Model 11 was made by Remington and my Browning A5 was made by Browning in Belgium. And I always assumed that the Savage version of that shotgun was made by Savage.

During The Great War, Belgium was occupied by Germany. This meant that the Belgian FN plant was unavailable to produce civilian firearms. After the war, FN was able to resume producing Brownings. No A5 shotguns were produced the the Great War. When WWII started, Browning didn't want the same situation, so they went to Remington and asked them to produce a model 11 with the Browning logo stamped on it. Remington accepted the deal since they had been making money from that Browning design for thirty years, but they weren't happy about it.
Browning A5s have been produced for Browning in Belgium and later Japan. The brief relationship with Remington makes the WWII era A5 the only A5 produced in the US. As a result, this particular model is sometimes called the "American Browning."

FWIW, the American Browning, built by Remington 1940-47, is actually a modified Model 11, with a separate SN range with either "A", "B" or "C" as a SN prefix:
A5000-A19450 (16ga)
B5000-B43129 (12ga)
C5000-C16152 (20ga)

It depends on the gauge. The 12 gauge has the notch in the receiver. But the 20 does not because the pin in the smaller bolt clears the edge of the port without a notch. The same is true of the Belgian guns. I don't recall whether the 16 gauge has the notch or not; maybe someone else can help on that one.
Edited to add:
I am both amazed and amused by the "wild blue yonder" ideas that can arise from a simple and obvious engineering change. How did the idea arise that the Remington guns were not meant to be disassembled or that there was some kind of "war" between Remington and Browning?
Just FWIW, Browning was an independent inventor. Once he had an idea and a working model, he took it to whatever arms company would give him the deal he wanted, whether that was a flat purchase of the patent rights, a royalty arrangement, employment as a consultant, or some combination of those. Usually that involved the company lawyers writing the patent applications, and sometimes the company regretted that. Browning first offered the Auto 5 to Winchester, and their lawyers drew up and filed the patents for him. But he fell out with Winchester over royalty arrangements and took the gun to Remington. But Marcellus Hartley, head of Remington died while Browning was waiting to see him and Browning decided to go to Belgium and have them produce the gun.
Later, when Winchester wanted an autoloading shotgun, poor T.C. Johnson, Winchester's in-house designer, had to work around all those neat, tight patent specifications that Winchester's own attorneys had drawn up so carefully.

I am prepared to eat crow.
I know this thread is older, but I feel the need to say mea culpa. I was wrong.
My American Browning 12g is now on the workbench with the bolt removed from the receiver and disassembled. This particular receiver has no notch at the bottom of the ejection port. When I got the gun it was packed full of grease. Between the lack of a notch and the excessive grease, I could not see the assembly pin on the bolt. The only reason I can now see the pin on the right side is that I've been trying to clear grease out of the receiver, of course with the bolt in place. I saw what looked like dirt on the bolt, but it would not come clean. I then realized the dirt was in fact the pin.
To remove the bolt, it was necessary to use the smallest punch in my possession (as I could not get a more appropriately sized punch between the receiver and bolt) to push the pin backwards toward the left side of the receiver. Once the pin cleared the outside of the receiver, I could grab it with pliers.
Again, I was wrong. I've seen many requests online for this information, but nothing indicating how to remove the bolt from this particular variant of the A5 design.

Later, when Winchester wanted an autoloading shotgun, poor T.C. Johnson, Winchester's in-house designer, had to work around all those neat, tight patent specifications that Winchester's own attorneys had drawn up so carefully.
And the resulting work-around gun that Winchester shipped was the 1911 or "Model 1911 SL" (not to be confused with the 1911 pistol of Browning's design). Outwardly, the 1911 had similar lines to the Auto-5... but the similarities quickly ended there.
The Winchester 1911 came to be known as "the headbuster" or more popularly, "The Widowmaker" because of how it had to be operated, thanks to the design's inability to use features in the Browning/Winchester patent for the Auto5.
The gun was cocked by grasping a knurled area on the barrel and pulling rearwards. There was no operating handle on the breech block. Many hunters and shooters found it was less awkward to put the gun butt-down on the ground, and push down on the barrel. This often meant that their heads or chests were over the muzzle - hence the name "widowmaker."
It was also known for splitting stocks from the recoil.
In hindsight, we can see why Winchester has gone out of business several times over their history. It seems that they can't see the larger picture of their business... letting JMB walk out the door with a design they had already patented for him was perhaps one of Winchester's most stupid moves.

You all must have different A5's and Model 11's than I do. My 12,16, and 20ga Brownings and M11's all have the notch cutout, including my RAS, predecessor to the M11. Even the 1902 made FN Brownings have it, they are missing the MC though.
Powder if you are talking about this screw in front of the bolt release, you are in bad shape. You will probably have to have someone make one for you.

BOSTON — One of David Krejci's most dramatic goals of the season also put him in some lofty company.
Krejci scored the game-tying goal with 32.5 seconds left today at TD Garden in a game the Bruins eventually lost 3-2 to Pittsburgh in overtime.
It was Krejci's second point of the night and 50th of the season (in 58 games), which tied him with Patrice Bergeron (who missed the game while attending to a personal matter) atop the Bruins' scoring charts.
"I tried to get a very quick shot, I tried to pick a corner, and it worked," said Krejci, who beat Pittsburgh goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury with a wide-open shot from the slot.
The top of the Bruins' points list is right where he belongs, considering he's not just the team's No. 1 center by default — he's earning it. Krejci has now recorded points in six of his last seven games, which have featured him posting 2-9-11 totals. He also has at least one point in 13 of his last 18 games. His play is more than making up for the loss of Marc Savard for the season.
"Well I mean this is something that we've talked about for a good portion of the year, is that he's capable of doing that," said head coach Claude Julien, whose team had its winning streak ended at seven. "I think right now we're seeing David Krejci playing the way I think we expect him to play, it's as simple as that. So if we're amazed by that, that's the way David Krejci should play and that's what we expect out of him. He's capable of making those plays, he's capable of seeing the ice well and his two linemates [Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton] are playing pretty well also so that's made for a pretty successful line lately."
Krejci recorded just 52 points in 79 games last season. His career-high of 73 was set the year before. It's a long shot, but the way he's playing now, you can't count out Krejci's chances of passing that mark over Boston's final 17 games.

Frank de Boer has advised Christian Eriksen to stay at Ajax for two more seasons before making the step to a bigger league.
The Denmark international has been continually linked with a move away from the Eredivisie champions with a host of top European clubs believed to be interested in his signature.
Nevertheless, his current coach hopes that his playmaker will not leave the Amsterdam ArenA any time soon and ignore the rumours.
"Eriksen will be 23 if he stays at Ajax for two more seasons. That would be a good age for him to make the big step," De Boer said at a press conference.
The 20-year-old's current contract with Ajax is due to expire in the summer of 2014, but De Boer recently stated that the Godenzonen have offered the midfielder a new and improved deal.

Napster To Go Loophole
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Portable Audio / Video, Software,
It has not been two weeks since the launch of Napster's To Go service, and already there is a crack that allows you to circumvent the subscription's copy protection. Armed with a Napster To Go subscription, Winamp, and Output Stacker Winamp Plug-in, burning audio CDs from Napster To Go library turns into a feasible task. All you would have to do is download the track from Napster, load it into Winamp, convert to WAV, and burn them using your favorite CD burning software. We are not advising you do this, just pointing out an incentive to choose Napster instead of iTunes.

Methanol Fuel Cells Being Tested
Posted by Categories: Misc. Tech,
High octane MP3s are soon to be a reality. DTI Energy of California has joined the small group of licensees trying to create fuel cells using methanol as a base. Methanol, air and water are combined to create a thermodynamic (heat releasing) reaction between the hydrogen in methanol and oxygen, which produces electricity. These fuel cells are estimated to be 5 times more powerful then standard batteries, and when they run out, you simply refill the methanol. Estimates say these cells are ten times more powerful than Lithium Ion batteries.

Wearable Warnings Electroshock Clothing
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Wearables,
Want to keep creeps away from from you, but don't have a pair of nunchucks with you at all times? Wearable Warnings, a project by Philip Worthington at the RCA in London, is a prototype coat that helps you do just that. From their website:
The prototype design is a coat with warning strips of fur that become electro-statically charged in situations where the wearer feels threatened. When charged the fur begins to stand on end; a visual indication that the wearer is uncomfortable. If someone invades the wearer's personal space they will begin to feel a second warning; as they enter the coat's electrostatic field they will feel tingling skin sensations and their hair will stand on end. The fur will begin to twitch toward them and emit crackling sounds. If the 'threat' proceeds to touch the fur then 100,000 volts of electro-static charge discharges from the fur, into the offender's body (non-lethal but definitely a bite).
They forgot to mention that it makes you look like a B-movie monster.

The Matrix: Path of Neo Scheduled For Holiday Release
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Video Games,
There are a few reasons we're stoked about this announcement. First, the game should benefit from the added development time that has passed since the last game, which was rushed to market in order to coincide with The Matrix Reloaded release and suffered for it. Secondly, this game will allow us to play as Neo himself, as the subtitle "The Path of Neo" suggests, as opposed to secondary (and some might call the tertiary) characters Niobe and Ghost. Thirdly, it's not going to involve card-based combat, or monthly fees, ala "The Matrix Online", which is scheduled for release next month. "Path of Neo" is coming this Holiday season on PC, PS2, and Xbox. We'll be keeping a close eye on this one.

The White House, with concurrence by the FBI and Justice Department, held off on asking for Petraeus' resignation until after the election. His resignation occurred three days after the election, avoiding the possibility that Obama's ill-fated appointment of Petraeus could become an issue in the election.
FBI agents on the case were aware that such a decision had been made to hold off on forcing him out until after the election and were outraged.
"The decision was made to delay the resignation apparently to avoid potential embarrassment to the president before the election," an FBI source says. "To leave him in such a sensitive position where he was vulnerable to potential blackmail for months compromised our security and is inexcusable."
Michael Kortan, the FBI's assistant director for public affairs, said he had no comment.

TOWN OF NEWBURGH — A former Clarion Hotel on Route 17K filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last week, a few days before a scheduled foreclosure sale of the property.
TOWN OF NEWBURGH — A former Clarion Hotel on Route 17K filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last week, a few days before a scheduled foreclosure sale of the property.
The Hudson Valley Hotel & Conference Center came into financial trouble in 2009, according to its bankruptcy papers. The recession diminished the business' revenue, and the hotel lost its brand-name flag.
Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union, which claims the hotel owes it about $3 million, last year began foreclosure proceedings against the 13-acre property. A foreclosure sale of the 120-room hotel had been scheduled for last Friday, but the bankruptcy filing halted that proceeding.
The property was initially a Clarion Hotel and later changed to a Quality Inn, according to court papers. After the economic downturn, it became difficult to continue maintenance and make improvements. The hotel failed its inspection by the Quality Inn franchisor and one of its owners suffered from health problems.
The hotel then became a Knights Inn, but business still suffered, even with the employment of an outside management company. It eventually lost the Knights Inn flag and began operating independently as the Hudson Valley Hotel & Conference Center.
The mid-Hudson's hospitality industry was hard hit in the recession. Occupancy at a sampling of hotels in the Newburgh-Kingston area fell 5 percentage points, to about 52 percent, in 2009, and the revenue per available room decreased $10, according to data from Smith Travel Research, which tracks supply and demand in the hospitality industry.
Occupancy has since bounced back to about 57 percent, and revenue per available room increased about $5, according to the data.
Asif Javaid, vice president of WABNO Hospitalities, the corporation that owns the Hudson Valley Hotel & Conference Center, declined to comment Monday. Another one of Javaid's companies owns the Econo Lodge in Highland Falls.
Javaid is planning to turn around the Hudson Valley Hotel & Conference Center by reducing operating costs and increasing revenue at the hotel, which has a swimming pool and banquet rooms, according to its website.
The hotel projects occupancy rates to increase from 49 percent in 2013 to 53 percent by 2017. The hotel's current occupancy rate isn't apparent in court papers.
The hotel also expects to be in the black by about $267,000 in 2017. It reported a loss of $425,523 in 2011, according to filings.
Part of the projected revenue increase comes from Javaid's subdivision plans. He is hoping to divide up some of his property and lease out two front pad sites, according to court papers. He also might lease out the hotel's restaurant and bar.

There's nothing like a big unhealty dose of acute bronchitis to get you contemplating lack of a future. Reality, so called, sharpens to an almost unbearable sequence of images, almost all of them surreal, such as leaving the doctor's office and stopping off at the health food grocer's, there only to be accosted by a scruffy looking customer who apologizes in order to catch your attention. What does he want, I ask. "Are you a Christian?" Hesitant, I ask myself, what is this, a come-on? A guy I know in my profession, a devout Catholic who once told me I could have as clients all the nuns in the archdiocese if only I'd convert, regularly enjoys making fools of street people, e.g. telling the pan-handlers seeking money for lunch, "I'll take you to a nearby restaurant," knowing they'll almost invariably beg off, some with honest admissions they're only seeking the cash for liquor or beer.
Feeling lousy, I couldn't think of anything to say except "No, I'm not," adding, in a cold voice, "and I am not religious, either." Had I felt better I would have said something blatantly atheist, but as it was, I only wanted to be left to my own devices. I just wanted to get rid of him, fast. Bob Dylan in a movie made the sound-over point that American capitalism uses fear to get us to buy things we don't really need, but I think he copped that notion from Burroughs, who said that our government and that nebulous thing we called, in the 60s, "the Establishment," put out conflicting messages ("believe this, don't believe this") in order to put us in a perpetual state of conflict, such that we buy things we don't need, thinking they'll distract us from our fears. Then, too, Eldridge Clever said that we would never have another revolution so long as the supermarkets stay open.
Dis-ease does something else to you, too: it heightens awareness of the truths of atheism, including the explanation that we are not conscious of life before birth, nor will we be conscious of it after death. Also, that the moment of birth is the time we begin to die. Dylan said that, too. One also finds less hostility to Christians who say that they're praying for you. Burroughs said "Pray in one hand, shit in the other; see which one fills up faster." Knowing from my awful cough, wheezing, and spitting gunk into tissue, at least three of my clients this week have said, "We're praying for you." I could set them straight, telling them, for example, that actual studies of prayer for seriously ill hospital patients showed not that prayer helped them but that it caused the prayed-for patients to die in greater numbers. But when you are seriously ill, you are not exactly in a mood to pick quarrels with people. And all of the drugs I've been taken have rendered me ineffective in debate.
Facing death is harrowing for some. I hope I can emulate the great Christopher Hitchens, dying of a brain tumor, incurable. I hope I can go out like he did, without retreat to belief, especially belief in that other country from which no one returns. But will I? Will I have that courage. To me, religion preys on people more than it prays for them. Like the Consul in John Huston's film of Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano, I would like to believe but I can't. The scene of the Consul going into a cathedral and staring up at one of those waxy-faced Madonnas so prevalent in Mexican churches especially, is pure John Huston (the director of the film). In interviews, the atheist filmmaker said he wanted to believe but could not, that he actually envied those who could. He had emphysema and eventually died of it. I hope my acute bronchitis goes away soon without putting my lights out just yet. But I ain't gonna pray it away. If I die after their prayers, they can always say God works in mysterious ways. There's no mystery to me. You're born, you live, and you die. Life is what you make of it, and you don't need deity to get there.

'Living' with depression I scare myself with thoughts of my mortality, it usually happens at night when I am settled into my nice warm bed and everything is silenced around me. I feel the smallness of my life compared to the whole universe and the Earth itself. The thoughts and questions of will I be lucky or will I suffer on that destined day, will it be sooner or later, natural or otherwise. smh I am morbidly curious by it but at the same time the blood seeps from my gums and my skin shivers with a chill. I am reminded of something Penn Jillette said I am not sure if he is the originator or if he was quoting but it was something like 'Are you afraid of 1860?' when ask about his mortality and if he feared death. Someone else had joked though I forget whom said it but it helps me feel a little more grounded that 'I am not afraid of death but of the act of dieing...death is final.' It helps hearing the same thoughts come from others, in the end I think to know that one is not alone in their mind's turmoils is kind of healing.
Anyone who is not afraid of 1860 is due for a surprise: somewhere on the face of the earth people are living in the 19th century, and certain wars being fought as I speak are akin to our own Civil War (or, as my conservative friend likes to put it, the War of Northern Aggression). At the subatomic level, as one version of quantum reality has it, we are all linked, particle to particle, an implicate order, but we are infinitely connected not just in space but in time. It could even be said that some people in 2012 are acting as if the electric light had not been invented. Some Muslims are living in the 8th century. Or earlier.
Put in that perspective is intriguing and I see it as terrifying that there are cultures that live present time as if it were a distant past yet can reach out and touch a modern living place with destructive force. That said I love the idea that what energies we are built from never die and that is by far more awesome then any cloud god could bring to the table, I just wish I could retain a conciseness to explore along with it.
I offer you an article I wrote for the Humanist titled 'Death and the Skeptic'. I wrote it with people like you in mind.
Hiram, beautifully written. THanks.
Beautiful piece Hiram, thank you!
A related observation; when I de-converted I noticed that the vast majority of the fear I had of "death" was actually fear of going to hell.
Excellent point. I think true for me too. By the fundamentalist definitions, I was clearly headed down the road to hell. Being freed of that, now all I need to think about is living the best life possible, and what kind of legacy I will leave when gone.
Here is a Philip Larkin Poem Aubade on the subject of the fear of death. The title is ironic—an aubade is a morning song, a happy song for awakening, but this is not joyous at all.
I work all day, and get half-drunk at night.
Waking at four to soundless dark, I stare.
In time the curtain-edges will grow light.
Till then I see what's really always there:
Unresting death, a whole day nearer now,
Making all thought impossible but how
And where and when I shall myself die.
Arid interrogation: yet the dread
Of dying, and being dead,
Flashes afresh to hold and horrify.
The mind blanks at the glare. Not in remorse
- The good not done, the love not given, time
Torn off unused - nor wretchedly because
An only life can take so long to climb
Clear of its wrong beginnings, and may never;
But at the total emptiness for ever,
The sure extinction that we travel to
And shall be lost in always. Not to be here,
Not to be anywhere,
And soon; nothing more terrible, nothing more true.
This is a special way of being afraid
No trick dispels. Religion used to try,
That vast, moth-eaten musical brocade
Created to pretend we never die,
And specious stuff that says No rational being
Can fear a thing it will not feel, not seeing
That this is what we fear - no sight, no sound,
No touch or taste or smell, nothing to think with,
Nothing to love or link with,
The anesthetic from which none come round.
And so it stays just on the edge of vision,
A small, unfocused blur, a standing chill
That slows each impulse down to indecision.
Most things may never happen: this one will,
And realisation of it rages out
In furnace-fear when we are caught without
People or drink. Courage is no good:
It means not scaring others. Being brave
Lets no one off the grave.
Death is no different whined at than withstood.
Slowly light strengthens, and the room takes shape.
It stands plain as a wardrobe, what we know,
Have always known, know that we can't escape,
Yet can't accept. One side will have to go.
Meanwhile telephones crouch, getting ready to ring
In locked-up offices, and all the uncaring
Intricate rented world begins to rouse.
The sky is white as clay, with no sun.
Work has to be done.
Postmen like doctors go from house to house.
That's not the way I understand the Buddhist notion of rebirth. (The term rebirth better describes the idea than reincarnation.) The personality does not carry over from one existence to the next because there is no individual self linking them. Eventually released from all desires and impurities, the mind or soul permanently escapes the long cycle of rebirths into eternal peace. Birth as a human being offers an opportunity to advance toward this state by casting off the fetters of desire and attachment to material things. Buddhism has no notion of sin or punishment for unskillful living.
Perhaps you are better informed about eastern religions than I am. I can only go by what I have read—I have never practiced any of them. Here you will find the explanation I have encountered:
Buddhism does not totally deny the existence of a personality in an empirical sense. It only attempts to show that it does not exist in an ultimate sense. The Buddhist philosophical term for an individual is santana, i.e., a flux or a continuity. It includes the mental and physical elements as well. The kammic force of each individual binds the elements together. This uninterrupted flux or continuity of psycho-physical phenomenon, which is conditioned by kamma, and not limited only to the present life, but having its source in the beginningless past and its continuation in the future — is the Buddhist substitute for the permanent ego or the immortal soul of other religions.
The notion of rebirth is common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism, but it takes different forms in each and within each religion there are different sects or schools holding various beliefs.
I suppose what I'm harping on about is rebirth/reincarnation as practised in India where a distinction is made twixt dacoits and brahims for example. The higher caste are further along the spiritual evolution path unto The Great Bliss.
Here you've lost me completely and I cannot connect what you say with the notions of Buddhism at all. Here is what the Buddha is recorded as saying in one of the sutras:
In this Teaching that is so well proclaimed by me and is plain, open, explicit and free of patchwork; for those who are arahants, free of taints, who have accomplished and completed their task, have laid down the burden, achieved their aim, severed the fetters binding to existence, who are liberated by full knowledge, there is no (future) round of existence that can be ascribed to them.

Taylor Swift Sued Over Botched Canadian Show
Country-pop crossover cutie Taylor Swift is being sued over a botched Canadian show, known as "Capital Hoedown," even though the fact that the show never took place is not her fault. The promoters simply want the $2.5 million advance they paid the singer to be returned.
T. Swizzle was tapped to headline the event, which was scheduled to take place in Ottawa last August. The organizers were unable to get the show off the ground and it was ultimately canceled.
A federal lawsuit filed in New York claims Swift was paid upfront. Her rep says she never made a deal with the ticket company so she's clearly in no rush to write them a check to cover the advance after ticket refunds, which would mean she'd still net a profit.

Super Bowl Champion Coach Speaks at CIU; Talks about his relationship with controversial NFL star
Super Bowl champion coach Tony Dungy challenged over 500 people gathered in CIU's Moore Fitness Center gym March 16 to consider if they may represent the older son in Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son.
Dungy, who led the Indianapolis Colts to a 2007 Super Bowl win, was at CIU speaking at a luncheon to benefit the ministry "With Open Eyes," a group that meets the humanitarian needs of Christians in Sudan. In the morning Dungy visited South Carolina prison inmates who are housed just across the Broad River from CIU, including 30 CIU student-inmates who are earning an Associate of Arts degree in the CIU Prison Initiative Program.
While Dungy is best known for his football career, he is also the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Quiet Strength, and is involved in a wide variety of charitable organizations, including the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Athletes in Action, Mentors for Life, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys & Girls Clubs, the Prison Crusade Ministry, and All Pro Dad.
Dungy shared how he became a committed follower of Jesus Christ while playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the many opportunities for ministry that have come his way since his fame as a Super Bowl championship coach. Dungy says people tell him he's doing great things, but when it came to ministering recently to NFL quarterback Michael Vick, some people didn't support him. Vick, who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles, served prison time after pleading guilty for his role in an interstate dog fighting ring.
"I started getting letters saying, 'how could you help him? This guy electrocuted dogs,'" Dungy recalled.
Dungy said that caused him to reflect on whether he should be helping Vick. Until Dungy picked up his Bible.
"But the more I read the Bible that is exactly what God would have us do. Help that person who has made a tremendous mistake, who wants to turn their life around." Dungy said.
That's where the older brother in the Parable of the Prodigal Son comes in. Dungy says that while the older brother was not openly rebellious, he didn't want to accept the homecoming of the younger prodigal.
"Where was he when the younger brother was making those bad decisions?" Dungy asked. "When his younger brother started to be rebellious - did he pull him in and counsel him and keep him on the right track? Or was that older brother really just focused on himself and what he was going to get out of the deal? That's really a great story because it really makes us think where our heart is."
CIU President Bill Jones presented Dungy with a personalized CIU athletic jersey with Dungy's name on the back.
Also at the luncheon, CIU introduced its first athletics director, Kim Abbott, who is currently serving as athletics director at the University of South Carolina-Beaufort. The announcement is a major step toward CIU's entry into intercollegiate athletics. For more on Kim Abbott see http://www.ciu.edu/news/newsitem.php?id=505

Automatic monobloc in stainless steel with non-welded high stiffness mechanical frame, in a single piece, composed of: [1] 28 two phases rinser-blower (example water + gas) Øp mm 1260 in stainless steel for bottles with 110mm max diameter. A gripper device takes the bottle by the neck and - through a system of sprocket-wheel-rack pushed by a cam - turns it upside down. The nozzle enters in to the bottle neck for 75 mm. The injection takes place only in bottle presence. There is no contact between the bottle neck and the injector parts.The two injection system are completely separated. The calibration and duration of the injections may be adjusted through an external cams system. The dripping water is recovered in a closed circuit without wetting the machine. The pincers then go back to normal position and opens letting the outlet star place the bottle on the conveyor belt. [2] 6 Multi-heads revolving deaerator for bottle deaeration with high vacuum pump. Bottle filling with neutral gas on the same station. [3] 32 Gravity filler Øp mm 1260 with light depression . The filling valves (patented) cut off both the wine and the gas return, excluding any contact between the inside of the tank and the environment. The filling level changes between 20 and 90mm from the top of the mouth. The pedestals of the bottles (mechanical at spring) are not on the same axle. This implies that they are completely protected from the washing water or from eventual glass slivers. Centralised oil mist lubrication for the pedestals.The feeding of the wine centrally from below allows the tank to be emptied naturally and completely. The washing and sterilization of the tank implies the outflow from above. The filling valves washing and sterilization are simplified by an automatic sterilization cycle. It involves the lift of the filler tank, the contemporary filler valve adjustment at the higher level, the release of the dummy bottle in axle with the filler valve. The filler tank goes down until the filler valve is completely dip in the dummy bottle that will open the valve itself. In this position, sterilization with liquid or steam can start. Eventually, the dummy bottles move backward and the filler returns to the height and filling level previously adjusted. The washing liquid is canalized through a return pipe. The filler is pre-set for CIP both if the machine is idle both if it is working. [4] 6 Multi-heads inert gas injector before corking. This operation reduces the quantity of oxygen in the head space. The reduction of oxygen in wine is important in the natural cork corking and even more in the screw capping. The user may decide to control the filling level (mm). [5] 6 Vacuum revolving corking turret Øp mm 324. Cork closure at 16mm. Mono pipe cork feeding with cam system for secure cork dispensing into the head (Corks feeder not included in the price list see CAPSULES FEEDER section). Heads, centring cones and high vacuum cam sector disassembling is very easy and quick. Oil bath bottle lifting pedestals. Cork presence photocell. Generalized use of stainless steel. [6] 6-4290x V1 screw capping revolving turret Øp mm 324 (without thread) fed by vibration with vibrator on the turret. Capsules distribution "on the spot" with inert gas blow in the cap. Closing capsules head with 4 rolls with "no cap no roll" system. Magnetic sensor for metallic screw capsules. It is possible by-pass the rinser and/or corker and/or capper rotation.The corker rotation can be by-passed. The inlet and the transfer between the filler and the corker are granted by infeed screws that guides and synchronize the bottles.The filler and the corker height adjustment is electric.Equipped for one type of cylindrical bottle. The monobloc is equipped with: -Safety guards in accordance with CE standards with tempered glass doors.-Centralized dummy bottles with manual positioning for rinser sterilization.-Centralized dummy bottles with manual positioning for deaerator sterilization.-3 Capacitive probe (Vega) with analogue signal from 4 to 20 mA for feeding pump inverter management of the filler.-Spout centring device with cam movement for bottle neck centring on the inlet star.-Centralized dummy bottles with manual positioning for gas injector sterilization.-Tank for wine collection from gas injector.-Proximity to check bottles descending at the end of the filling stage.-Electrical adjustment of punches for the depth of the cork in the bottle-Photoelectric cell device to avoid the store up of bottles at the exit of the monobloc.-PLC and operating terminal (touch screen).

How did it happen that Democrats are associated with the color blue and Republicans are associated with the color red?
— John M., Medford
We thought the answer to this was simple, John, and in some ways it is. But there's also an interesting history involving red, blue, Republicans and Democrats.
Credit for identifying R-leaning and D-leaning states as red states and blue states is widely given to now-deceased political commentator Tim Russert, who was discussing the 2000 presidential election while on air with NBC's Today Show host Matt Lauer about a week before election day. (You remember that race, don't you, John? George W. Bush, Al Gore, hanging chads, Florida, the Supreme Court, et al.)
According to a 2004 article in The Washington Post, Lauer and Russert were discussing the projections for the various states, using a map with red or blue states that had first shown up a few days earlier on NBC's sister network, MSNBC.
In discussing what it would take for the Republican to win, Russert asked, "So how does (Bush) get those remaining ... red states, if you will?"
And so it began, although Russert opined later that he believed the phrase had been uttered before. Nevertheless, he is credited as the originator (It helps if tens of millions of people are watching when you say something important).
Use of the colors red and blue to designate political affiliation of states was hardly new in 2000, although the color scheme was flipped.
According to the Post, in 1976, NBC identified states won by Republican Gerald Ford in blue and Jimmy Carter's states in red. In 1980, ABC News highlighted states going to Ronald Reagan with blue lights and Carter's states in red. Time magazine used red for Democrats and blue for Republicans in its election maps in every presidential election from 1988 to 2000. The Washington Post's election graphics for the 2000 election were Republican-blue, Democratic-red.
While Russert gets credit as father of the phrases, some also give a nod to David Letterman, who in the midst of the post-election controversy in 2000 suggested that a compromise would "make George W. Bush president of the red states and Al Gore head of the blue ones."
Given what's gone on in our nation's capital lately, it makes sense that a comedian should get some of the credit.

Home Insurance. Saturday , February 24th , 2018 - 20:18:10 PM
The rapid adoption of Wi-Fi enabled devices has allowed for an increase in what are called "non-monitored" systems. These are security systems that are set up in a home, but are not connected to an alarm company. While these types of systems do offer an additional level of home protection, they might not qualify for a discount on homeowners or renters insurance premiums.
