Who said I was talking to you? I mean I don't mind talking to you, but I was replying to Individual.spiritnoname wrote:Luke, there are few things that offend me like alcohol and drugs, but it doesn't change the tantras,.. I've got no word in this matter, I can't change it, pointless to try to convince me.
The story I posted above about Gampopa and Milarepa should be viewed in context. Gampopa drank one cup of strong beer with Milarepa, which had great symbolic significance. Then Gampopa begin intense meditation training under Milarepa's guidance which resulted in him attaining enlightenment, but I don't think he drank at all during this period of time.
So I think the lesson is to accept small amounts of alcohol from one's lama during certain rituals and that other alcohol consumption has no positive effect on one's practice.

ESPN Host's Remark That UFC is Starting Its Own TV Network Fuels Speculation That Announcement is Imminent
It may have been a speculative remark fueled by an interview Dana White did with Broadcasting Cable this week in which the UFC president intimated that his promotion was considering starting its own television network, but to many MMA news sites, an eight-second conversation the hosts of ESPN's Pardon The Interruption show had on the subject yesterday was enough to prompt speculation that this is the major announcement that will be made during today's media conference call.
Here's what White told BC's Ben Grossman:
"A lot of people don't realize we are in a half a billion homes around the world. You know all the things we've been through in the United States, but this sport travels well. Cricket will never be big here and the NFL will never be big around the world. But we are all human beings and fighting is in our DNA. We get it and we like it. So we are working on a couple moves now and should be in a billion homes around the world in the next couple months. Sports Business Journal just came out with a survey asking big names in the industry which sport could start its own network and 4 out of 5 said us. They are right. I agree. That will happen within the next couple years.You are starting to see now ESPN is starting to cover us more. I think this is one of those things ESPN will probably kick themselves in 10 years saying, 'We could have fucking had that.'"
It is possible that if it is true that ESPN got wind of the news, considering they have a deal to broadcast UFC events and to produce satellite pre and post-event MMA Live programs, but it's more likely that PTI is just throwing the scenario out there to create dialogue on the possibility.Read More DIGG THIS

Dear Sir/Madam,
I sent an email this morning regarding my problem to firstname.lastname@example.com. After which, I was asked to post my problem here, in order to allow Adafruit technical Support and engineers to assist me. here is my email:
We are a research group at University of Central Florida. My Advisor ordered a 12" eTape Liquid Level Sensor. I had a problem with the sensor, since the resistance reading can not be stabilize; It fluctuates too much and generally keep dropping (never stop at any value). Also, when it socked up to the max level, the resistance reading is about 800 ohms, which much more than what specified in the data sheet (400 ohms +/- 10%). Actually, I contacted the manufacturer of the eTape Sensor and they suggested some stuff which I did but it didn't not work. After which, they suggested that we buy another sensor and see what happened with the reading. Thus, we purchased five (5) more sensors from you (adafruit). I personally checked and calibrated all of them and they were initially in very good condition and the plotted graphs (water depth vs. resistance) agree with the data sheet, so I realized that the first sensor either was a defective one or something wrong was occurred either during handling or calibration.
Hence, I would like you to help me by either fixing or replacing the defective sensor, because we need this sensor for our sensor network research as soon as possible.
Here is the Order Confirmation No: 226018
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Mohamed Alrowaimi

The Big Black Trunk by Mary Rice Somerville
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Eleanor L Niedeck The Big Black Trunk. What would you do if the Lord was coming? What would you do if forced to become one nation under one government? What if money was worthless and a computer chip had to inserted in the hand or head of every man, woman and child or starve without it?
What horrifying events to suddenly find yourself faced with all at once. This story follows one family faced with the end times and the decisions they chose. The times of tribulation are endless. Will Christ come? Or is this family just another set of kooks who will be proven wrong when nothing happens?
This book is very well written and once started, difficult to put down. The author tells it in such an insightful and humbling way it gives the reader pause to truly stop and think about what you would do if it were not only you, but your children as well. Would your faith be strong or falter? I recommend this for every Christian and every apolitical reader in general. It raises serious question and food for thought.Renee Robinson [[ASIN:1492844470 Misty Serenade: Wings (The Rise of Dragon Rose) (Volume 1)]] Series 1
When Mountains Move by Julie Cantrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Julie Cantrell, When Mountains Move. A beautiful story with the right touch of romance, mystery and drama. Millie is a lovely character which at first glance, appears to be meek and gentle. Upon further reading, it becomes clear there is much more substance to her. Though she lacks confidence in herself, she is incredibly strong. She has lived through difficult times. Where most would follow down the path they've always known, Millie manages to overcome, seek and find a better life. Something she knew existed, but never had.With time and experience, like a fine wine, an author continues to improve. I will be happy to watch this author as I know it is difficult to improve perfection.

ATLANTA (AP) — With memories of thousands of vehicles gridlocked for hours on icy metro Atlanta highways fresh in their minds, emergency officials and elected leaders in north Georgia are preparing for another round of winter weather.
Gov. Nathan Deal, who was criticized for his response to the Jan. 28 storm that paralyzed the metro area and left motorists stranded in vehicles overnight, said in a news release Sunday that he's put emergency response agencies on alert and began significant preparations.
The governor scheduled a news conference for noon Monday to discuss winter storm preparations.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather watch from 7 p.m. Monday through 7 p.m. Tuesday and a winter storm watch from Tuesday evening through Thursday morning for the metro Atlanta area.

Are you considering starting a blog? Maybe your blog isn't working for you? Blogging is one of the hottest ways to build business online.
It's changed considerably from the early days of "dear diary" and "angry conspiracy theorist" blogs. Even Time Magazine has started honoring their "Best Blogs" of the year.
Here are eight questions to ask–keys if you will to blogging success.
#1: Are You Passionate?
In The New Rules of Marketing & PR, David Meerman Scott urges would-be bloggers to "be passionate about and want the world to know about" their subject. If you need copy written for a corporate blog and you don't have a fire in your belly for the subject matter, delegate to or hire someone who does.

|[Jakarta HiveMind Wiki] New: InjectingNonServiceFactoryObtainedObjects
|Thu, 24 Jun 2004 13:37:16 GMT
Date: 2004-06-24T06:37:16 Editor: 18.104.22.168 <> Wiki: Jakarta HiveMind Wiki Page: InjectingNonServiceFactoryObtainedObjects URL: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-hivemind/InjectingNonServiceFactoryObtainedObjects no comment New Page: = Q. Injecting Non-Service Factory Obtained Objects = ''(DanielFeist 21/06/2004)'' ''(Maybe this is a ChangeProposal rather than a question. That depends on the answer ... lets wait and see and possibly move it is it doesn't belong here)'' Is there anyway to inject a service, using the BuilderFactory, with an object obtained by invoking a method of another service. I can think of many cases were this would be very useful but it doesn't seem to be possible. Concrete examples are as follows: ''Example 1'': I have a Mailer service which depends on, and uses, a datasource to obtain email address. This datasource is to be obtained via JNDI so i decide to use the NameLookup service to obtain the datasource. As the datasource is not a service but rather the result from executing a lookup method of a service it seems i am limited from injecting it into my Mailer service through declarative configuration in the hivemodule.sdl. ''Example 2'': I have a Mailer service which uses a Properties to obtain email address. The backing store of the properties has to be flexible and configurable so i decide to create a !PropertyFactory service that returns a Properties object for a given locator and whose backing store is defined and configured through a configuration point. This is a good solution to my problem but as in example 1 I cannot inject this properties into my Mailer Service. On a side note: If this type of injection is possible then a clean solution to my change proposal ModuleResourcesProposal is very simple. Resources would be created using a factory specifically designed to do this (much like the BeanFactory) which would also manage backing-store type and synchronization issues. These resources could then be injected into services by using !ResourceFactory's get method to obtain the resource. ---- HowardLewisShip: Seems that !BuilderFactory could do this, by changing the nested {{{set-service}}} element to have an additional attribute, {{{read-property}}} that would be a property of the service to read as the value to assign to the service implementation under construction. Perhaps {{{set-service}}} should be left alone, and there should be a {{{read-service-property}}} element added instead. ---- DanielFeist: What we are actually want to set here (in order to accomplish what is explained in the examples above) is not as you mentioned the property of another service (i.e. allowing the copying properties between servcies) BUT rather the value obtained from invoking a method of another service. Something like the following would be needed as a nested BuilderFactory element in order to set a property of the service in construction with an object (in this case a datasource) obtained from another factory/lookup service: {{{ set-service-method-return-value (property=datasource service-id=hivemind.lib.NameLookup method=lookup){ argument{ java:/jdbc/myDS } argument (translator=class) javax.sql.DataSource } } }}}. Obviosly the name i have put 'set-service-method-return-value' is rather long and would need to be improved. I've put that name in the example so it is clear what in fact the functionality is. HowardLewisShip: Going down this path, you quickly get to the point where you want to use ["OGNL"] for this ... or a full scripting language. I don't have an objection to that as an add-on, but don't think it is right for the core module. The fact that you can add this (by creating your own service implementation factory) is good enough. DanielFeist: What about including just the basics of this functionality in the core module? I am keen on seeing this available to be able to do such simple things such as inject an object obtained from the BeanFactory or similair without the complexity of having to implement and define your own service implementation factory. For more complex situations, where more than one String attribute is required yes its fair enough to have extend the BuilderFactory. {{{ set-service-method-value (property=myBean service-id=my.lib.MyFactory method=get argument=myBean)} }}} The addition of this functionality to the BulderFactory doesn't actually require changes to the core module implementation but rather just the addition of an element in the BuilderFactory schema definition and a translator. Is there anyway of extending BuilderFactory's schema defined in core hivemind module? HowardLewisShip: I think there may be a proposal about making it easier to reuse and extend portions of a schema. !BuilderFactory's parameter's schema is massively complex. An OGNL builder parameter element might look something like: {{{ set-expression (property=datasource expression=<< service["hivemind.lib.NameLookup"].lookup("java:/jdbc/myDS") >>) }}} This would imply a magic {{{service}}} property attached to {{{Module}}} that could invoke {{{getService(String,Class)}}}. I may end up building something like this for Tapestry, since Tapestry already has an OGNL dependency. DanielFeist: What then, in terms of !HiveMind 1.0 (assuming no OGNL) is the solution to the simple problem put forward in the two initial examples? Implement and define in sdl my own !CustomBuilderFactory (the implementation of builder factory would be identical but with a slightly more complex schema)? There's no simpler solution? I think considering OGNL or something similar to make builder paramenters simpler and more flexible for the next version is a good move. HowardLewisShip: A completely reasonable and testable solution is to assign the service (i.e. {{{hivemind.lib.NameLookup}}} to a property of your service, and use the {{{initialize-method}}} attribute to have your service initialize. In Java code, you can access the methods of the collaborating services. DanielFeist: Yes that's a good workable solution the downside it that its not 100% IOC i.e. the !DataSource is not being injected but rather work has to be done in the services init method to obtian the datasource. In !HiveMinds current state that is the best solution I suppose. I do believe though that the ability to be able to inject other objects that are not services or configurations (obtained from a lookup/factory service) is an important functionality that should certainly be considered as not everything we might want to use and inject can or should de represented as a service. DanielFeist: I've just been looking at the BeanFactory and translator and it would seem that you have actually started implementation of something that allows the us to obtain objects from a factory. The PiplineFactoryService, for example uses, in its configuration contributions, beans obtained from the BeanFactory. This is good and works well for the needs of the PipelineFactoryService configuration but it would be far more flexible to be able to obtain an object from any POJOF (plain old java object facotry) and not just from a BeanFactory. Is there anyway of doing the same sort of thing but allowing the use of arbitary user implemented factories (not neccessarly implementing BeanFactory)? Maybe it would be possible to extend the !ObjectTranslator or !BeanTranslator to do this. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Over the lunch table yesterday afternoon my friend Tim and I talked about how liberals say they hate Rush Limbaugh even though they have never heard his show. Then, in the LA Times of all places, there is this:
Oh no, you haven't. Whenever I interrupt a liberal's anti-Limbaugh rant to point out that the ranter has never actually listened to the man, he always says the same thing: "I've heard him!"
On further questioning, it always turns out that by "heard him," he means he's heard the selected excerpts spoon-fed him by the distortion-mongers of the mainstream media. These excerpts are specifically designed to accomplish one thing: to make sure you never actually listen to Limbaugh's show, never actually give him a fair chance to speak his piece to you directly.
By lifting some typically Rushian piece of outrageous hilarity completely out of context, the distortion gang knows full well it can get you to widen your eyes and open your mouth in the universal sign of Liberal Outrage. Your scrawny chest swelling with a warm sense of completely unearned righteousness, you will turn to your second spouse and say, "I'm not a liberal, I'm a moderate, and I'm tolerant of a wide range of differing views -- but this goes too far!"
There is more untruthfulness in that statement than in a speech by President Obama. Even the commas are self-deceiving. You're not a moderate or you wouldn't be reading this newspaper. You're not tolerant of a wide range of views; you are tolerant of a narrow spectrum of variations on your views. And, whatever you claim, you still haven't listened to Rush Limbaugh.
Which leads to a question: Why not?
Let me guess at your answer. You don't need to listen to him. You've heard enough to know he's a) racist, b) hateful, c) stupid, d) merely an outrageous entertainer not to be taken seriously or e) all of the above.
Now let me tell you the real answer: You're a lowdown, yellow-bellied, lily-livered intellectual coward. You're terrified of finding out he makes more sense than you do.
This is a brilliant Op-Ed, and it's printed in exactly the right place—arguably the most liberal major newspaper in the country. Read the whole thing, and e-mail it to your liberal friends.
Update: Patterico notes this article, too, and takes the opportunity to clarify his record regarding El Rushbo. After Rush's CPAC speech this year, Pat criticized his formulation of the "I want Obama to fail" meme. Pat defended the point that Rush was trying to make (Rush wanted Obama to fail in implementing his radial policies, so that America would succeed) while lamenting the choice of words he used to express it. It was fair criticism, though I'm not sure I entirely agree with it (controversy has its palce, after all), and it was presented in the well reasoned manner that is the hallmark of Patterico's Pontifications.
Unfortunately, there are as many on the right as on the left who want their leaders to go unquestioned. Pat has experienced a backlash from these people, who think he doesn't show enough love for the big guy. They couldn't be more wrong.
Putting aside any quibbles about the meaning of Rush's recent comments, I agree with Klavan that, if you're going to criticize someone, you should do them the favor of listening to their actual words.
I thought about this recently when a reader wrote me and asked:
Patrick: Just what is it about Rush that you dislike? . . . [T]here seems to be something in his personae that just has gotten under your skin?
Not at all. How could someone ask me that, when I have a long history of defending this man on my site?
As someone who loves both Rush and Patterico, I encourage you to listen carefully to both of them. They agree on almost everything, you know. And I have heard Rush, on his radio show, sharing the love with Patterico.

When teams re-sign their own players in the offseason, those moves don't always resonate with some observers. There are fans who clamor for something different and new, even if something different and new isn't the smartest decision. There's a tendency to think different must be better.
By signing Hiroki Kuroda to a one-year, $15 million contract, and closing in on one-year deals with Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera, the Yankees will have three crucial pitchers returning for 2013. While bringing back three aging pitchers might not seem sexy, these were the right moves for the Yankees.
As long as Rivera and Pettitte decided they would pitch in 2013, the belief was that they would return to the Yankees. But, with the winter meetings less than a week away, the Yankees felt an urgency to sign both pitchers so general manager Brian Cashman would know how much he could spend in other areas (catcher, right field, bench). Pettitte is expected to sign for $11 million. Rivera will get about the same.
No matter what the Yankees do for the rest of the offseason, it will be difficult for them to top the signing of Kuroda. Kuroda is a legitimate No. 2 starter who was the Yankees' best pitcher last season. He is a no-nonsense performer who wanted a one-year deal, which worked well for the Yankees because they don't want to sign any pitchers to multi-year deals. That's because the Yankees are intent on keeping their payroll under $189 million in 2014 to reap the massive financial benefits.
In keeping Rivera, Pettitte and Kuroda, the Yankees will have three pitchers who will be 43, 41 and 38 next season. Should that be a concern? Age is always a concern. Rivera must prove that he can rebound from knee surgery, but, even if Rivera is 85 percent of what he has been recently, that would mean he's still a stellar closer. Pettitte had a 2.87 earned run average last season, but a fractured fibula limited him to 75 1/3 innings. He needs to stay healthy and pitch 200 innings, something he hasn't done since 2008. Kuroda needs to carry the consistency of 2012 into 2013.
With CC Sabathia, Kuroda and Pettitte as their top three starters, the Yankees have a reliable front end of the rotation. Obviously, they must avoid injuries. But, for anyone who doubts what those three can do, where would the Yankees be if Kuroda signed elsewhere and Pettitte retired? The Yankees would have been in deep trouble. Instead, Phil Hughes is now the favorite for the fourth spot while Ivan Nova and David Phelps will compete for the fifth spot. Michael Pineda won't be ready to start the season.
For the Yankees to exceed what they did in 2012, they still need significant contributions from Kuroda, Pettitte and Rivera. These pitchers are part of the solution, not part of the problem. When the Yankees forecast how they would be best assembled to win it all in 2013, the plan always included the three veteran pitchers they are welcoming back.

A tragedy took place just outside of Mannsville Saturday night when three people were killed in a collision involving two motorcycles and a pick-up truck.
Scott Lawson, 39, of Ardmore; Robert Lynn Pullen, 64, of Davis; and Karen Pletcher, 56, of Ardmore, were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident ½ mile west of Mannsville on state Highway 199. The three people, along with Christie Lawson, 37, of Ardmore, were traveling west on motorcycles when an eastbound 2003 GMC pick-up went left of center and struck the motorcycles head-on, according to the Department of Public Safety.
John Peebles, 80, of Blanchard, was identified as the driver of the pick-up. Peebles was pinned in his vehicle for 35 minutes before being freed by the Mannsville Fire Department. He was admitted in good condition to Mercy Hospital Ardmore with a leg injury.
All four on the motorcycles were thrown for an unknown distance upon impact. Scott Lawson was driving a 2006 Harley-Davidson and was pronounced dead at the scene with a massive head injury. Christie Lawson was transported to the OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City and admitted in stable condition with trunk, internal and head injuries. Both Pullen and his passenger, Pletcher, were pronounced dead at the scene with massive head injuries.
A seat belt and airbag were in use by Peebles. The report indicated helmets were not in use.
The accident remains under investigation.

College of Business AIS Students Win Big in Stewart Project Competition
This past summer, undergraduate students (pictured at left, along with Professor Hayes) Tim Cona, Jordan Molnar, Mike Ketchersid, and Drew Askew won the Jack and Maye Stewart Student Project Competition for a video the team designed in Professor David Hayes's Accounting Information Systems class. Their project investigated the embezzlement case of former Virginia Secretary of Finance John Forbes and culminated in a video report on the details of the story.
On behalf of his students, Professor Hayes submitted the video to the Jack and Maye Stewart Project Competition, a contest that recognizes the outstanding work done by students in Accounting Information Systems classes. As one of the top three projects, the group received $200 and each member of the group was given a plaque to commemorate this honor.
In June, Professor Hayes presented the students' winning video at the AIS Educators Conference in Laramie, Wyoming.
The College of Business congratulates Tim Cona, Jordan Molnar, Mike Ketchersid, Drew Askew, and Professor David Hayes on this accomplishment.

The National Federation of Women Workers, 1906-1921
Date published:February 2014
This is the first full length history of the National Federation of Women Workers – a pioneering, all-female trade union operating from 1906 to 1921. It centres on the leaders, organisers, activists and members throughout the regions of Britain who built and sustained the union. By focusing on strikes, disputes and branch life, Hunt provides vital details of the working lives of thousands of women workers in the early twentieth century. The Federation, led by the charismatic Mary Macarthur, was influential out of all proportion to its size and attracted brilliant women activists to its campaigns, many of whom became well known in British Labour politics.

DOUALA, Cameroon (AP) — Police in Cameroon held two employees of a human rights organization for three days in connection with the killing of a prominent gay rights activist, their lawyer said, sparking criticism over how the investigation is being handled.
The two employees, Michel Engama and Cedric Mbarga, were released Tuesday afternoon without charge, said Michel Togue, a member of the legal team representing them as well as the family of the slain activist, Eric Ohena Lembembe.
Engama and Mbarga worked with Lembembe at CAMFAIDS, a human rights organization based in the capital of Yaounde, and were among the last people to see him alive on July 12, Togue said. Three days later, Lembembe's body was discovered at his home bearing signs of torture.
Lembembe's friends suspect he was killed over his activism. Just weeks before his death, he had warned about the threat posed by "anti-gay thugs" in Cameroon, one of the most hostile countries for sexual minorities in sub-Saharan Africa.
Human Rights Watch had earlier expressed doubt over whether law enforcement officials were willing and able to carry out a thorough, effective investigation of Lembembe's death, pointing out that previous incidents of anti-gay threats and violence had only resulted in the taking of statements.
A law enforcement official in Yaounde, who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case, told The Associated Press that Lembembe's colleagues had been arrested "to give the impression that headway is being made in the case."
He said Lembembe's case had "really embarrassed" President Paul Biya's government. The killing drew statements of concern from France, Britain, the United States and the United Nations.
"There are fears that Cameroon may be further blacklisted by donors and denied foreign aid in the near future," the official said. "But the investigation was flawed from the start. The interrogators arrived at the scene of the murder several hours late, and all they did was collect testimonies from the late Lembembe's neighbors. I think they are onto the wrong lead."
Togue said the two rights workers should not have been held for three days. Cameroon's criminal procedure code says suspects can be held a maximum of 48 hours before being charged.
Law enforcement officials in Yaounde declined to speak on the record about the case.
The only official response from the government to Lembembe's death was a statement on July 19 condemning the international media for tarnishing the country's image and warning that future "provocative commentary" on the case would be illegal.
Corey-Boulet reported from Dakar, Senegal.

Google Changes Net Neutrality Tune in Fiber Spat
Jul 31, 2013 4:54 PM PT
The Federal Communications Commission is looking into a complaint that Google Fiber's ban on hosting computer servers on its network violates the FCC's Open Internet Order and Rules.
In its response to Douglas McClendon's complaint, Google Fiber told the FCC, among other things, that its policy was fully consistent with the Order and Rules.
News of Google Fiber's response has sparked allegations that the company has done an about-face on its previously vociferous support for Net neutrality.
"Google is a strong supporter of the open Internet, and our stance here hasn't changed," company spokesperson Jenna Wandres told the E-Commerce Times.
This is a standard practice of network management," she insisted.
"What about when a community group ... wants to set up a forum for residents to [discuss] crime prevention and community building and needs a server to do that?" asked Stephanie Chen, energy and telecommunications policy director for the Greenlining Institute. "Technically, that's not a private server, but it's also not a commercial one. Would Google fight that use?"
Google Fiber's Case
Google Fiber's terms of service declare that users should not host any type of server using the Google Fiber connection, company attorney Darah Smith Franklin wrote in her response to the FCC's notice of informal complaint. Customers also cannot use their Google Fiber account to provide a large number of people with Internet access, or use the account to provide commercial services unless they have a written agreement with the company letting them do so.
Complainant McClendon has signed up to receive service at an address in Kansas City, Kansas, that is not yet served by Google Fiber, Franklin pointed out. Further, he apparently resides in Lawrence, Kansas, a city not yet served by Google Fiber.
McClendon asked the FCC to modify Google Fiber's ToS because he wants to host a server for use in his business, Franklin said. However, Google Fiber is currently a residential offering, so even if the FCC grants McClendon the relief he seeks, he will not be able to connect a business server to the service.
Google plans to introduce a business service through Google Fiber later, Franklin said.
"Google is trying to prevent its residential customers from putting servers onto its network because they want to someday offer a business service that would presumably cost more and permit use of servers," the Greenling Institute's Chen told the E-Commerce Times. "They're restricting today's use because of the promise of tomorrow's product."
What About Net Neutrality?
McClendon apparently contends that the restrictions on server hookups violate prohibitions in the FCC's Open Internet Order against blocking and/or unreasonable discrimination, but Google contends the Order provides an exception in both instances for reasonable network management.
Google Fiber also argues that this is standard practice for major providers, including AT&T, Charger Communications, Comcast Xfinity and Cox Communications.
Server guidelines like Google Fiber's were specifically discussed in the record of the FCC's Open Internet proceedings, but the commission did not restrict them in its order, Franklin pointed out.
"As we said in our filing, the policy does not prevent legal, noncommercial use of applications such as multiplayer gaming, videoconferencing and home security," Google's Wandres said.
The fact that Google cited the practices of Net neutrality opponents in its response to the FCC, and the belief that it has now joined their ranks have stoked public anger over the McClendon case.
"We do see [Google] softening their initial pro-neutrality stance in significant ways," the Greenlining Institute's Chen said.
Google 's defense of its teaming up with Verizon last year pointed out that the companies' joint legislative proposal would prohibit blocking or degrading wireline Internet traffic, prohibit discriminating against wireline Internet traffic in ways that harm users or competition, and presume against all forms of prioritizing wireline Internet traffic, among other things.
Further, Google's restrictions on the use of network servers on Google Fiber "seems motivated not by concerns about traffic congestion ... but rather by the prospect that someone could set up a service that would compete with one of Google's other lines of business," Chen remarked.
"If that's in fact the case, it raises serious concerns about anticompetitive effects in the market."
The FCC did not respond to our request for further details.

Marty Straube
Engine Group Vice President
Strategic sourcing equals reliable cost reduction
Briggs & Stratton beats cost-reduction goals 2 years in a row
Briggs & Stratton, the world's largest manufacturer of air-cooled gasoline engines, is taking a more strategic approach to purchasing. By using SAS® Business Intelligence to analyze spending, the company significantly enhanced its cost-reduction performance.
"We beat our cost-reduction numbers two years in a row,'' says Marty Straube, Engine Group Vice President. "The ability to analyze data is the foundation to being able to embark on that kind of performance.''
We beat our cost-reduction numbers two years in a row. The ability to manipulate data is the foundation to being able to embark on that kind of performance.
Marty Straube
Prior to using SAS to analyze its purchasing spending, the company took a typical transactional approach to purchasing, with a strong focus on pricing.
The company's SAP transactional system provides volumes of data, but without an analytical solution, the company couldn't do anything with the data. "I don't think we had a good view of what we bought and where we bought it from,'' explains Tom Glatch, Purchasing Data and Systems Integrity Specialist for Briggs & Stratton. The department often worked more on anecdotal data rather than relying on fact-based decisions.
"We have one supplier that has two plants, and supposedly quality from one plant was far superior to quality at the other. But when we looked at the data, we realized we had the plants reversed. The plant we thought was the problem child was actually the better of the two,'' Glatch said.
Since using SAS, Briggs & Stratton has:
- Discovered it has too many suppliers for some products and not enough for others. "In case of natural disaster, you don't want to have just one supplier,'' Glatch says.
- Created a supplier scorecard that shows quality, delivery, purchase-price variance, defects and other metrics. "It is really easy to see trends in commodity cost changes,'' Glatch says.
- Developed a supplier portal so suppliers can view details on delivery times, quality and invoices.
"Our buyers can take a data set with millions and millions of rows and pull up a report literally in seconds,'' Glatch says.
Briggs & Stratton uses SAP ECC 6.0. In undertaking the analysis and scorecard project, it used SAP's classification system to assign commodity codes to purchases. SAP pulls 12 months of data into the scorecard and shows the company's top 50 suppliers.
"You get so much data from SAP, but it is hard to analyze without SAS,'' Glatch says.
The buyers work with the data through the reports that reside on the platform for SAS Business Analytics. Glatch can also handle custom requests using the point-and-click SAS Enterprise Guide. If the custom request looks like something all buyers could use, the process or report is surfaced to the appropriate personnel on the SAS BI system.
Glatch's success with the supplier scorecard in the engine group has won him recognition. "We've just cloned it for our Home Power Products division, our Yard Power Products division and our Service division,'' Glatch says.
The company needed a big-picture look at its purchasing spending.
With SAS® Business Intelligence the company harnesses the data from its SAP system to study quality, purchase price variance, delivery and defects.
The savings in purchasing represented reliable cost reduction execution and strategic sourcing strategy.

Hydrogen is produced from coal by first gasifying the coal to form synthesis
gas or syngas, a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide,
cleaning the syngas, then processing the syngas further to increase the hydrogen
content, and removing other components to produce a pure hydrogen stream. Once
the syngas is cleaned to remove ash, slag, and sulfur, it becomes a source of
useful and valuable clean fuels and chemicals. Alternatively, the syngas can be
burned directly in a gas turbine to make electricity either instead of, or in
addition to, other clean fuels production. Carbon dioxide from gasification can
be captured in a highly concentrated form that is amenable to sequestration or
The Hydrogen and Clean Fuels program addresses hydrogen from coal pathways
and RD&D activities related to those pathways. From clean syngas, there are
many routes to clean energy, as shown schematically in the figure at right.
Pure hydrogen can be made from syngas for use in stationary fuel cells or
fuel cell vehicles, as shown on the lower right side of the figure. There are
two key steps in this process; increasing the percentage of hydrogen in the
syngas using the shift reaction, and separating the pure hydrogen from the other
gases. Carbon dioxide remaining in the syngas can be captured at this point and
transported for sequestration or storage. The option of producing hydrogen
directly is called the Central Production Pathway.
Alternatively, liquid hydrocarbon fuels such as diesel fuel or gasoline can
be made via Fischer-Tropsch chemistry, or, with different catalysts, methanol or
other alcohols can be produced for use as transportation fuels, or substitute
natural gas (SNG) can be produced. These options are shown on the left side of
the illustration above. Carbon dioxide can be captured for sequestration in
either case. Either liquid fuels or SNG could be used as hydrogen carriers for
fuel cell vehicles, by being produced in central plants, transported to local
facilities, and reformed into hydrogen. These options are collectively called
the Alternate Production Pathway.
The figure at right shows the main R&D elements of the program. In the
Primary Production Pathway, as illustrated on the left side of the figure,
R&D needs to reduce costs of central station hydrogen production are
addressed. Key R&D topics include hydrogen separation, membrane reactors
that combine the shift reaction with other functions, and advanced concepts to
simplify processes. The Alternate Production Pathway, shown at right in the
figure, can enable use of the current infrastructure to move hydrogen-containing
fuels nearer to the markets. Key R&D topics for this pathway include
catalysts and reactor systems to improve efficiency and reduce cost of liquid
fuel and SNG production, and better systems to reform the carrier materials into
hydrogen near the site of utilization.
The program also supports R&D thrusts in the areas of hydrogen storage,
delivery, and utilization in advanced engines, as shown at the bottom of the
Systems analyses are conducted to guide the program and assist in
prioritization of R&D efforts.
The Hydrogen & Clean Fuels Technology R&D program is subdivided into
four areas, shown below. Click the links for more information on each program

Heading into this weekend's Deutsche Bank Championship, Erik Compton is on his third heart and has an endless supply of perspective.
NORTON – More than any other PGA Tour player, Erik Compton can do without the additional stress.
But there he was again last Friday, two shots over the cut line with two holes to play at The Barclays, needing to make the cut to at least have an outside chance of moving on to the next tournament in the FedEx Cup playoffs. He already had played 31 holes that day because of a rain delays, and his tank was empty.
But his heart? No one questions that.
This is the scrappy Florida kid who took up golf after a heart transplant when he was 12. The same guy who suffered a heart attack in 2007 and, with his heart pumping at 15 percent capacity and his foot on the accelerator, drove himself to the hospital while calling everyone to tell them he loved them because he thought it was over. He had his second heart transplant six months later.
He went birdie-birdie at The Barclays to make the cut.
"Some guys focus like every hole is the last hole. And I need to play like that every week," Compton said. "Your energy level plays a major factor in how you think. Sucking it up, basically that's what I've been doing my life – figuring out how to play golf when you're not at your best."
Two days later, Compton was 3 under for the final round and projected to be inside the top 100 in the FedEx Cup to advance to the Deutsche Bank Championship. He made bogey. Then another one. And then he chipped into the water on the 16th and faced a 10-foot putt for bogey.
More stress he didn't need. More clutch golf he always seems to deliver. He made the bogey putt, made a birdie putt on the next hole from the same distance and then saved par on the final hole with a 5-foot putt that allowed him to head north to the TPC Boston this week.
"Everyone says I'm going to give them a heart attack," Compton said, smiling at his metaphor. "But I've already had a couple of those."
Compton is on his third heart and has an endless supply of perspective. After going through a second transplant, and showing off a scar that runs the length of his chest, he once said, "I've been dead twice."
The next day, the 33-year-old Compton was on "CBS This Morning" with Jeff Glor, talking about his amazing life and his work with Donate Life America and Genentech to raise awareness of organ donation and transplants.
"I guess my story's like a movie," Compton said. "It's not a made-up story, but it's real. It just doesn't faze me anymore. We all have issues, right?"
"Yeah, but this is a pretty big one – with all due respect," Glor said as the audience laughed.
"Yeah, but I trade some of the bad issues and bad things that have happened," Compton replied. "I have a lot of great things."
He has a wife and a daughter. He has a job on the PGA Tour, right alongside Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy. And that might be the most amazing thing of all in his remarkable life. Through it all, Compton earned his way to the highest level of golf.
And this year, for the first time, he stayed there.
He first reached the big leagues in 2012 through the Nationwide Tour money list. He lost his card and went back to Q-school, surviving six rounds to get back to the PGA Tour. Going into the Deutsche Bank Championship, which starts Friday, his ranking is three spots behind Ernie Els, two spots ahead of Justin Leonard. He belongs.
Trouble is, that's not how Compton views his job.
The public tends to look at him as a sympathetic figure, a walking miracle with two heart transplants and a PGA Tour card.
Compton sees himself as a golfer who would be more inclined to celebrate a victory than merely keeping his card. It was like that at the Honda Classic this year when he tied for fourth for his first top-10 finish on the PGA Tour. Everyone wanted to pat him on the head. He was kicking himself in the rear for a bogey on the last hole.
"It seems like a bit of tug-of-war going on inside there," said Scott Piercy, who played with Compton last weekend. "He knows he's living a dream. I think a little in his mind it's like, 'OK, I'm lucky to be here.' But I know a competitor lurks in there, too. Because at the end of the day, there's a lot of fight in that kid, for sure. He wants to win."
Compton understands that. He says he'll be at home, sitting alone on the couch, and his wife will ask him what's going through his mind. His answer more times than not: How to get better. How to win.
"I want to be a top 50 player in the world," Compton said. "I have to keep getting better. I'm bound to have a win and have a good season. It's not impossible. I have a good swing. The guys out here are really, really good. But I'm really good, too. I'm not just a dead guy walking."
He does not take his position lightly. Compton has given countless hours to "Donate Life America" to get out the message that kids are waiting every day for an organ to survive. He already was planning to be in the Boston area this week to speak about it. And now he gets to play golf, and even greater platform.
It will take another big week for him to advance to the third playoff event in Chicago. But at least it's a chance.
"I want to see how far I can go," Compton said. "I see a win in my future – next week, next year."
And then he grinned.
"There's only 99 guys I have to beat, right?"

Divorce documents reveal tensions between murder victim and ex-husbandBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
March 14. 2013 8:16PM
EXETER - Customers at Steve's Diner in Exeter often watched as Amanda "Amy" Warf handed off her little boy to her ex-husband, Aaron Desjardins, in the parking lot.
Week after week, customers say they saw the 36-year-old Desjardins, who most recently worked at the local diner, making the swap around 7 a.m. as Warf headed off to work at Exeter Hospital's administrative office.
Exactly what happened on the morning of March 7 isn't known, but somehow Warf's body ended up on the second floor of the vacant City Concrete building on Hampton Road - just around the corner from the hospital office where Warf was a financial counselor.
It was about 7 a.m. when prosecutors say a fire was set inside the abandoned concrete plant and Warf's lifeless body was discovered amid the flames.
Her former husband is now charged with first-degree murder, accused of slitting her throat before the fire. He maintained his innocence in an interview with the Union Leader three days before he was arrested Wednesday near his Epping home.
Authorities have not said whether Warf was on her way to work when she was murdered, but the Hyundai Elantra found parked outside the concrete plant at the time of the fire is believed to be hers.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell has not revealed a possible motive for the killing that came just as Desjardins and his former wife were working out a final parenting plan and the amount of time he would spend with his 11-month-old son, William.
Warf and Desjardins seemed to adore their son, but they had their differences long before William was born on April 15, 2012.
Their marriage broke down while she was pregnant and both found new loves.
With the divorce finalized in February 2012, Desjardins married his new wife, Sarah, a few months later and Warf had a new boyfriend with whom she was living in Hampton at the time of her murder.
Their divorce file revealed some of their disagreements and tension between Warf and Desjardins' new wife.
Last August, Warf filed a motion to modify their divorce decree that obligated her to continue providing his health insurance coverage through her employer, Exeter Hospital, and paying his premiums until 2015.
However, Warf asked the court to change the agreement because Desjardins remarried and received coverage through his new wife. She also learned that Exeter Hospital is self-insured and doesn't provide health benefits to divorced spouses.
In her motion, which was later granted, Warf stated that she was the sole caretaker of William and that she provides all of his care, housing and food and that Desjardins "contributes zero towards the baby's care, including zero in the form of child support." She also indicated that providing the healthcare coverage was a "financial impossibility."
Desjardins objected to her motion and pointed out his own financial struggles.
In court papers, Desjardins said he agreed to pay Warf $5,000 when their house is sold.
"At the time of the divorce, there was no equity in the home and by retaining the home, (Desjardins) took on a large financial burden to protect both (Warf) and himself from a foreclosure or bankruptcy," court documents said.
Desjardins also stated that his decision to take on the financial responsibility and agreeing to pay the $5,000 was based on Warf's promise to continue his medical insurance.
Since he said he has multiple sclerosis, "going without medical insurance would be extremely costly," his motion to object said.
Desjardins also stated that he's been "willing and able" to care for their son since birth but that Warf "has not allowed him to." His Epping home had a full nursery and at one point "had clothing and diapers that were bought for William that sadly will not be used because he has outgrown them," the motion said.
Desjardins also insisted that his ex-wife's claims of him "contributing zero" isn't true. His motion listed numerous items that he's provided for his son during his parenting time, including formula, diapers, toys, and a stroller.

Two Forums, One Common Goal
This time, things were different. We became real players in the public discussion about mitigating climate change in Central Asia.
The forum in question -- the second Central Asia Climate Knowledge Forum: Moving towards Regional Climate Resilience – was organized by the World Bank Group in Almaty in May, and brought together about 200 participants from nearly all institutions interested or involved in this problem -- including top officials of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, and donors. Around 30 civil society representatives from the Central Asian countries also attended the event. NGOs were represented more solidly at the second forum compared to the first.
"Focus on the journey, not the destination," was our guiding principle.

INDIO >> On the third day, the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival celebrated Easter with as only the mega festival could: with several surprises, from an artist cancellation to a fake appearance of Daft Punk.
It was only fitting headliners Arcade Fire chose to cover Prince's "Controversy" on the main stage Sunday night as front man Win Butler started off the night by announcing a surprise guest only to reveal two men in white suits who appeared to be Daft Punk standing behind a DJ booth playing an off beat version of "Get Lucky."
Fans quickly caught on they were being duped and referred to the appearance as "Daft Punk'd." The set also featured an appearance of the Reflektors — the bobble heads made out of each band member — and Beck as pope.
Earlier in the night, Beck played his own set featuring some classics such as "Devil's Haircut," "Where It's At" and a cover of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" on the Coachella Stage. Early in his set he told the crowd he was going to keep things short, referring to the first weekend when his set was cut off.
Guests during the day ranged from set to set, from hip-hop's Jhene Aiko and special guest Kurupt in the Gobi tent to Motorhead and Slash inside the Mojave tent.
While Kurupt was not expected and helped Aiko perform "Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None)," Slash was a welcomed encore performance from last weekend. The guitarist played with the rock band on the same song, "Ace of Spades."
There was also a cancellation from Chance The Rapper due to illness early in the day, but strong sets from Los Angeles alternative rock band Fishbone, New Orleans' Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue and English folk/punk singer and songwriter Frank Turner helped fill some of the void.
Besides the music, fans celebrated Easter and marijuana culture, marking 4/20.One Coachella vendor advertised an Easter nut hunt for actual nuts.

Motorola is secretly working on a dual-core superphone featuring NVIDIA's Tegra 2 processor which will be the flagship device for the upcoming release of Gingerbread. Both Motorola's CEO and NVIDIA's CEO have confirmed the phone exists, but you will not find many people talking about it because Motorola has issued some of the strictest non-disclosure agreements the industry has ever seen.
I don't want to over-hype this device, but it is going to make the current generation of Android phones look like toys and this is the reason Motorola doesn't want you to know about it. Imagine what would happen if people knew that waiting a couple more months would get them a dual-core Gingerbread phone with 2x faster web browsing and up to 5x faster gaming performance. It would greatly damage the sales of Motorola's Android 2.1 phones this holiday season and that is why Motorola employees have been instructed not to talk about it.
As some of you know, Motorola will split into two companies next year and Sanjay Jha will take over as CEO for Motorola Mobility. I was told by a current Motorola employee that the Tegra 2 phone is "Sanjay's baby" and it will be his early defining moment as leader of the new Motorola Mobility. That pretty much kills a holiday release because this device is so important to Sanjay's new company that he does not want to rush a release it before it's ready.
Originally we thought the dual-core phone, which we are calling the T2 or Terminator, would be a Verizon exclusive, but a source familiar with the project has informed me I was wrong and it will ship on multiple carriers (similar to Samsung's strategy with their Galaxy lineup). We also hoped the phone would launch this year, but the latest evidence I have suggests it will be unveiled at CES on January 5th.
Believe it or not, I was also told that Verizon might not even be the first carrier to launch the Terminator. I've heard some rumors that Verizon could make it their first 4G LTE phone, so that might be the reason why they need additional time and another carrier would have it out the door first.
So what else have I heard about the Terminator? This may not come as a surprise, but it is going to be a mobile gaming powerhouse. Google's Andy Rubin recently said, "gaming is an area that I think is underserved right now" and hinted Gingerbread would be the Android release to address that issue. I was told that the Terminator's hardware was virtually finished and Motorola is just waiting on the software to reveal the device. This leads me to believe that several game developers will have launch titles ready for when the phone finally ships.
We reached out to both companies seeking a comment when Sanjay Jha confirmed the phone was coming, but only NVIDIA responded.
"Yes, we are working with Motorola. If you have questions, please check with Motorola, as we're under NDA."Matt WuebblingProduct Marketing Director, Mobile Business at NVIDIA
That doesn't exactly say much, but what did you expect? Motorola could be one of NVIDIA's biggest customers so I'm sure they want to keep them happy.
What are your thoughts on the Motorola Terminator? If you are in the market for a new Android phone, will you wait till next year or grab the best available device that gets released before Christmas? What other possible concerns do you have about owning a dual-core phone that would need to be addressed before you forked over your hard earned cash?

February 26, 2003
Fr. Fr. Frank Pavone, Director of Priests for Life, has released the
following statement:
"We have just heard of the victory for pro-life protestors in today's Supreme
Court Decision in Scheidler vs. NOW, a case we have followed closely from
its beginning. While we look forward to studying the decision in more detail in
the days ahead, we wish to offer a few preliminary observations.
"Abortion is not just a 'legal procedure.' To groups like NOW, it is a
sacred ritual. They try to use any maneuver of power they can to perpetuate
it. Today their efforts have hit the brick wall of our nation's sacred right to
protest. Long live that right!
"The Scheidlers have been our friends for years, and I have been privileged
to stand with them, and many other pro-life activists, at killing centers from
coast to coast. We look forward to standing with them until legal abortion is no
more than a bad memory.
"Priests for Life has always held that the best way to defend our First
Amendment rights is to exercise them without fear. Fear within our own ranks is
a bigger obstacle than anything that the National Organization for Women, or any
other pro-abortion group, can put in our way. In the light of today's decision,
we will formulate plans to increase protest activities at our nation's abortion
mills, and in particular to bring those in the Church who have shied away from
such activity to realize that it is perfectly consistent, not only with the law,
but with the Gospel."

Are you testing your HTML markup automatically yet? If your markup does not match the Java code, your Wicket panel does not work. It's easy to get early feedback when your panels are broken: just unit test them!
In this blog post I describe a way of automatically verifying that the HTML markup of Wicket panels match the Java code. Scroll down to download the demo project!
Unit test
I created a JUnit test that you can add to your project to automatically test as much Wicket Panels as possible. Automatic testing works by resolving all panels on the Java class path and feeding them to the WicketTester. When a panel has invalid markup, the WicketTester will give an error: early feedback!
How does it work?
The Wicket panels that can automatically be tested should have a 'default' Wicket constructor, like this:
public DemoPanel(String id)
Resolving all panels is done with Spring 2.5's ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider (don't you love those names! How can they stay below 120 characters per line?)
The ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider is a component provider that scans the classpath from a base package. It then applies exclude and include filters to the resulting classes to find candidates.
Testing panels
@Test public void testAllWicketPanels() throws Exception { WicketTester wicketTester = new WicketTester(new WicketApplication()); ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider provider = new ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider(true); provider.addIncludeFilter(new AssignableTypeFilter(Panel.class)); Set components = provider.findCandidateComponents("nl/stuq/demo"); for (BeanDefinition component : components) { Class clazz = Class.forName(component.getBeanClassName()); if(hasDefaultConstructor(clazz)){ testWicketPanel(wicketTester, clazz); } } } private void testWicketPanel(WicketTester wicketTester, Class clazz) { wicketTester.startPanel(clazz); wicketTester.assertNoErrorMessage(); wicketTester.assertNoInfoMessage(); } private boolean hasDefaultConstructor(Class clazz) { for(Constructor constructor : clazz.getConstructors()){ if(constructor.getParameterTypes().length == 1 && constructor.getParameterTypes()[0].getSimpleName().equals("String")){ return true; } } return false; }
The test instantiates a new WicketTester. After that, the ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider is created and configured to scan only for Panel classes in the nl.stuq.demo package and below.
After that, the found components are all checked. If they have a default constructor, the test is executed.
The boolean hasDefaultConstructor(clazz) method checks if the class has a constructor with only one String argument, the Wicket id.
Keep in mind
- This is only for lazy people (good developers are lazy in some ways).
- You need a dependency to Spring.
- Only Panels with a certain constructor are tested.
- Only instantiating the Panel is tested, so code coverage has no meaning for this test. Real testing is still needed.
Download demo project
The demo project is a Maven project based on the Wicket 1.4.3 quickstart that contains the test class and an example panel to be tested.
Download demo project.
Extract the zip file and run mvn test to run the tests. Then fire up your IDE and check how it's done.
You can change or adapt the given JUnit test to also automatically test classes extending from Page or Component.
Join in with your opinions and code! I'm curious to see what clever way you have of testing code.
