About HumbleForeigner
I don't know if the typo was deliberate, or a Freudian slip, but the first sentence:
"Copyright which hunts indeed."
Suddenly gave me a mental image of a copyright symbol stalking the land, hunting for prey :)
I find the words "This is a billion-dollar industry. This is about their self-interest." to be interesting. Could he be inviting, subtly, the game industries to send a few lobbyists his way? With some nice "campaign contributions" in their briefcases to make this go away?
The open corruption within the politics of the USA raises this as a strong possibility in my mind.
Biased source?
Fox News anyone?
And extradition can only be merited if the charges being pressed would be a criminal offense if they had occurred in New Zealand. Evidence is absolutely required by the defense to defend that it is not.
The other take-away point from Article IV is:
...if the evidence be found sufficient, according to the laws of the place where the person sought shall be found, either to justify his committal for trial if the offense of which he is accused had been committed in that place...
Which as I read it means that the charge that extradition is being sought after also must be a crime in the country where they are. If that is the case, then the evidence must be seen as it will needed to prove if Kim Dotcom has committed a criminal offense under New Zealand law, and not just a crime under US law.
Hmm, so let's see...
El-P, record label founder: Such a great guy
Amanda Palmer, Independent artist: Flash in the pan
Dan Bull, Independent artist: OMG! Filthy pirate! How dare he work around the artificial barriers to entry!
Now, nothing against El-P, he seems to understand and accept how the world now works. That he was willing to come here and discuss it speaks volumes for him. What I want to know is why can't the RIAA shills, and their bought and paid for "artists", who post here under the name AC show the same level of understanding?
I suddenly had this running through my head when I read bob's comment :)
(Sung to the tune of Daydream Believer)
Bear up weepy team
Oh what can it mean
To a paywall believer
And a big drama queen
The current insanity of the ownership mentality has gone too far! How long until you are charged for merely looking at a painting, under the reasoning that you are making a mental copy. How long until you are charged for simply breathing because a ownership troll owns a plantation and some of "their" oxygen is in the air you are breathing. This needs to end, NOW!
A revolution is way overdue, the government must be reminded that THEY ARE THERE TO SERVE OUR INTERESTS, not the interests of a chosen few. As for the content industries...they need to be reminded that We.Don't.Need.Them, if anything, they need us.
I'm going to reply to a couple of postings here:
First, everyone seems to be thinking that Kim Dotcom will be tried in the USA, what you seem to miss is that the NZ court has to OK the extradition, no OK, no extradition...and the criteria for extradition is very high.
Second, can we please make it legal to shoot anyone who uses the phrase "Intellectual Property" seriously! There are patents, copyrights and trade secrets, and none of them are actual properties. If you want copyright you don't get patents or trade secrets, choose one.
One last thought, it should be mandatory that if you sue over a patent any court proceeding must be stayed pending PTO review, and the PTO review is automatic. For each patent found invalid and rejected the plaintiff must pay the costs of the review.
I swear that there should be a special Hell waiting for the judges that opened the door for software patents.
I see them sitting there, hearing the most stupid software patents lawsuits forever. And then having the case referred back from the Infernal Court Of Appeal and having to listen to the same case...again...FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY!
It is no less than they deserve.
Hmm, a few points that you may want to take into account:
1. ISP's are not distributing a thing, their customers may be, but they aren't
2. Labels are not paying the creators, refer to Kenny Rogers and other artists being cheated by the label
3. Google was built on providing search results, the ranking of said results determined by what people are actually selecting
So yes, facts are stubborn things.
And lest you bring up the decline in the Music industries profits, please read the following:
http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120210/11270617732/how-much-collapse-recorded-music-s ales-revenue-was-due-to-end-illegal-price-fixing.shtml
And realise that, yes, your revenue will drop once you are prevented from illegal price fixing. That and the fact that the labels are producing very little that is worth spending money on, so people will get from iTunes etc. the one or 2 tracks that they want.
If the Music industry wants to increase revenues:
start producing quality that people will pay for
start making it easier and more convenient for us to buy the music
stop treating your customers as thieves
stop treating the artists you rely on as serf's
I must admit to no small amount of confusion here. If I have paid my phone company for x amount of data traffic, and they have accepted my money, how can they have any say in how I use the data I have paid for? Is this some sort of uniquely American thing?
I have a mobile data plan with my phone company in New Zealand, and I can tether whatever I want to my phone with no issues or threats of extra charges, mainly because I HAVE PAID FOR IT. Why does the American public let the telco's do this without calling them to account?
I have seen comments about the "justice system" or the "misjustice system", but I think you are misinformed...America does not *have* a justice system, it has a legal system...there is no justice in it any more. Justice, in America, is now the domain of the lawyers and rich and powerful, you, as a mere peon, have no access to justice anymore. Let's take a hypothetical example, $rich_mega_corp has done something very wrong, you don't want to enrich a lawyer too much, so you take them to court, now you need to ask:
- Can you afford the initial trial?
- Can you afford the inevitable appeal, on appeal, on appeal?
- How far can you go before you are bankrupt?
If you are a normal person, the answers are: Barely, no and not far. An appeal against a court verdict should be a very, very serious move, not a business as usual step. If you appeal you are questioning the judge, jury and entire legal process, serious penalties should be levied against both the client and lawyer for a failed appeal where the law was correctly applied.
Until such a time, when appeals are serious, you will end up with the rich and powerful making endless appeals until their opponents cannot afford to continue.
At its root, privilege means private law
Why someone who invents something to make the world a better place, pouring in time, effort and sheer creativity gets 17 years to recoup the cost they have paid. While another who makes a catchy song gets, effectively, forever. When did music or literature become vastly more important than inventions?
Which is the model the allofmp3 (remember them) used. The cost of a track was based on the MB size of the track, and you chose the kbs quality of the track and encoding, and hence the size.
My understanding is that they did remit royalties to the Russian collection agency, but the label's etc. never claimed it. My guess is that they were afraid to legitimise the business model and would be unable to impose artificial constraints. Also, the artists would rise or fall based solely on the merits of their music, and not by the promotion of the label.
To the labels, allofmp3 was evil incarnate and needed to be crushed at all costs, and it was.
Let's see, "flawed understanding of the law" and "historical facts are no one's property". Well, if their lawyers did not understand the historical FACTS part, then they deserve to be disbarred! My understanding of lawyers is that they serve 2 functions; provide sound legal advice to their clients, act as agents of the court. In this case the legal team involved failed on both counts. They failed to recognise that historical facts cannot be owned, and they made baseless legal threats that supposedly had the full weight of the courts behind them.
These lawyers should be disbarred at the very least.
"Picasso had a saying: 'Good artists copy, great artists steal.' We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas...I think part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians, poets, artists, zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world."
- Steve Jobs (1955 � 2011)
Can I ask on behalf of the rest of the world, please go home.
Now, don't get me wrong, some of you seem quite nice. But, what we mainly see are your tourists, and your insane laws...and honestly, the tourists are nicer.
We don't really need your "Free Trade Agreements", we were doing quite well thank you. We don't need your SOPA or PIPA. We don't need your ACTA or TPP (you really need to stop infecting international treaties and so on with your brand of "Intellectual Property" madness).
In conclusion, please go home and put your own house in order, it really needs your attention.
The Rest Of the World
The only way I could ever put the slightest iota of support to this, would be if the politicians, who advocate and vote for this, accept to have their entire web browsing history, Google searches and all, on a publicly accessible website. After all, if you have nothing to hide...
Oh, and the website would be real-time, and it would be for any Internet account under any of their family.
If they don't accept that, then what are they hiding?
SOPA, PIPA, ACTA and TPP, of all of them TPP is the most accurately named...
Toilet Paper Politics
Where the politicians wipe their ass on the rights of people and the legislative process of their country.
As Billy Connolly said "I think, roughly, the desire to be a politician, should ban you for life for ever being one."

By Alexandros Petersen
First published in Eurasia Daily Monitor January 10, 2013.
While the concept of a "New Silk Road" of trade, transport and telecommunications connections across Eurasia was formally endorsed by the US State Department, it is Beijing and Chinese companies that have taken the lead in realizing the immense infrastructure projects that will tie the mega-continent together. The latest is the completion of a second railway link between China and Kazakhstan at the burgeoning Khorgos crossing point and Special Economic Zone. This nearly 600-kilometer section is part of a larger project that connects China's eastern port of Lianyungang with Kazakhstan's rail system and points west toward Russia and the Caspian region. Chinese officials refer to it as part of the New Eurasian Land Bridge from China's ports to Western European ports such as Rotterdam (Global Times, December 22, 2012).
Plans call for the railway to handle 20 million tons of freight by 2020, increasing to 30 million by 2030. The 292-km Chinese portion of the project was built for less than $1 billion—relatively inexpensive by global standards. Khorgos is already the key border crossing for the Central Asia–China natural gas pipeline from Turkmenistan and a new highway network under construction. According to Kazakhstan's Minister for Transport and Communications Askar Zhumagaliyev, 800 km of this Western Europe–Western China highway will be completed in 2013, with much of the route running alongside the just-completed railway (Tengrinews, December 20, 2012).

Missouri Visits Children's Medical Center
Missouri Tigers visit Childrens Medical Center Dallas as they prepare for their January 3rd AT&T Cotton Bowl matchup with Oklahoma State Cowboys.
DALLAS – Missouri Head Coach Gary Pinkel and the Missouri Tigers football team spent Monday afternoon visiting Children's Medical Center in Dallas as part of the events surrounding the 78th annual AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic.
Players from Mizzou spent their time at the hospital interacting with patients in the center's Butterfly Atrium, while a group of senior players and captains visited patients in their rooms.
Chris Durovich, president and chief executive officer of Children's Health Services of Texas, welcomed the group along with former Cotton Bowl Chairman John Stuart and his wife, Barbara.
"Thank you Children's Medical Center for all you do for young children and the opportunities you provide so that these kids can become healthy," said Coach Pinkel. "What you have to understand is that we get just as much out of this as these kids. It means a lot to us to be here."
During the visit, players signed hats and posters, helped patients with arts and crafts projects, and posed for group pictures. Dozens of children from the hospital, accompanied by family and nurses, enjoyed coloring Mizzou logos, making paper football helmets and learning the Mizzou chant, led by Coach Pinkel.
"This is all for the kids," said senior All-American defensive end Michael Sam. "It makes their day and it's so great to see how excited they are. We're very happy to be here."
For Missouri players, the trip to Children's Medical Center was much more than a break from preparation for Friday's game.
"It brightens our day to see these kids," said junior offensive lineman Mitch Morse. "Our coaches stress to us that no matter how bad you think your day is going, even if football is keeping you down, you have to understand that at the end of the day, you have it pretty good. It's such a blessing to be here today. People may say that we're touching these kids' lives, but really they are touching ours."
Founded in 1913, the not-for-profit Children's Medical Center is the fifth-largest pediatric health care provider in the country. Dedicated to making life better for sick children and kids with serious illnesses, Children's was the state's first pediatric hospital to receive Level 1 Trauma status. A major pediatric kidney, liver, intestine, heart and bone marrow transplant center, Children's specializes in treatment ranging from simple eye exams to treatment in areas such as heart disease, hematology-oncology and cystic fibrosis. This year, Children's is celebrating 100 years of making life better for children.
The 78th AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic is Friday, Jan. 3 on FOX. Airtime is set for 6:30 p.m. CST with kickoff scheduled for 7:10 p.m. Making their fourth appearances as members of FOX's broadcast crew, Gus Johnson and Charles Davis will describe all the action and will be joined by Kristina Pink reporting from the sideline. FOX is broadcasting the Classic for the 16th consecutive year.
ESPN Radio returns as the Classic's national radio partner for the second-straight year. Brad Sham, the "Voice of the Dallas Cowboys," will partner with Ed Cunningham offering color commentary and Ian Fitzsimmons adding analysis from the sideline to provide the call of the 78th Classic to hundreds of affiliate stations around the country as well as subscribers of Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio in the United States and Canada.

How Willful Ignorance Doomed HealthCare.gov
Back in the mid-1990s, I did a lot of web work for traditional media. That often meant figuring out what the client was already doing on the web, and how it was going, so I'd find the techies in the company and ask them what they were doing, and how it was going. Then I'd tell management what I'd learned. This always struck me as a waste of my time and their money; I was like an overpaid bike messenger, moving information from one part of the firm to another. I didn't understand the job I was doing until one meeting at a magazine company.
The thing that made this meeting unusual was that one of the company's programmers had been invited to attend, so management could outline their web strategy to him. After the executives thanked me for explaining what I'd learned from log files given me to by their own employees just days before, the programmer leaned forward and said, "You know, we have all that information downstairs, but nobody's ever asked us for it."
Story Continued Below
I remember thinking "Oh, finally!" I figured the executives would be relieved that this information was in-house, delighted that their own people were on it, maybe even mad at me for charging an exorbitant markup on local knowledge. Then I saw the look on their faces as they considered the programmer's offer. The look wasn't delight, or even relief, but contempt. The situation suddenly came clear: I was getting paid to save management from the distasteful act of listening to their own employees.
In the early days of publishing, you had to understand the tech to run the organization. (Ben Franklin, the man who made America a media hothouse, called himself Printer.) But in the 19th century, the printing press became domesticated. Printers were no longer senior figures — they became blue-collar workers. And the executive suite no longer interacted with them much, except during contract negotiations.
This might have been nothing more than a previously hard job becoming easier, hallelujah. But most print publishing companies took it further. Talking to the people who understood the technology became demeaning, something to be avoided. Information was to move from management to workers, not vice-versa (a pattern later embraced by other types of media businesses as well). By the time the web came around and understanding the technology mattered again, many media executives hadn't just lost the habit of talking with their own technically adept employees, they'd actively suppressed it.
I'd long forgotten about that meeting and those looks of contempt (I stopped building websites before most people started) until the launch of HealthCare.gov.
* * *
In the first days after the health care site launched, I assumed that any difficulties were caused by unexpected early interest in it, and that once the initial crush of traffic ebbed, all would be well. The sinking feeling that all would not be well came over me when I read a disillusioning anecdote about what had happened when a staff member at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the department responsible for HealthCare.gov, warned about possible difficulties with the site back in March. As the New York Times reported, the staffer was told by his superiors:
"...in effect, that failure was not an option, according to people who have spoken with him. Nor was rolling out the system in stages or on a smaller scale, as companies like Google typically do so that problems can more easily and quietly be fixed. Former government officials say the White House, which was calling the shots, feared that any backtracking would further embolden Republican critics who were trying to repeal the health care law."
The idea that "failure is not an option" is a fantasy version of how non-engineers should motivate engineers. That sentiment was invented by a screenwriter, riffing on an after-the-fact observation about Apollo 13; no one said it at the time. (If you ever utter this phrase, wash your mouth out with soap. If anyone ever says it to you, run.) In fact, NASA's vaunted moonshot, so often referred to as the best of government innovation, tested with dozens of unmanned missions first, several of which failed outright.
Failure is always an option. Engineers work as hard as they do because they understand the risk of failure. In the case of HealthCare.gov, what these unnamed officials were saying was the opposite of what they thought—"addressing the possibility of failure is not an option."

More burglaries are reported to police during the holiday season, when people are often out shopping during the day or out of town visiting family. Tuscaloosa police are planning to conduct extra patrols with hopes of keeping that number down this year, said Sgt. Brent Blankley of the Tuscaloosa Police Department.
TUSCALOOSA | Several people at a home near the University of Alabama campus slept early Sunday morning while two men plundered through the house for valuable items.
They woke to find that a laptop computer and an iPhone 4 had been stolen. The burglary was one of 77 reported to Tuscaloosa police this month, according to department statistics. Police say that the number of burglaries could rise as Christmas approaches, if trends from past years are repeated.
More burglaries are reported to police during the holiday season, when people are often out shopping during the day or out of town visiting family. Tuscaloosa police are planning to conduct extra patrols with hopes of keeping that number down this year, said Sgt. Brent Blankley of the Tuscaloosa Police Department.
The house on University Circle that was burglarized is equipped with security cameras, which provided police with clear images of two men. Most homeowners don't have an advanced security system, but Blankley said there are simple precautions people can take to decrease the chance of becoming a victim.
People should keep their doors and windows locked at all times and keep shrubs trimmed to eliminate areas where burglars can hide, he said.
Exterior doors that are solid wood or steel clad are the safest, he said. Locks should have a bolt that extends at least an inch and a half into the structural jamb.
Homeowners should keep an up to date inventory of valuable items and include photographs.
He encouraged travelers to close their curtains and blinds and use timers and motion sensors on radios, lamps and televisions. Mail and newspaper deliveries should be stopped.
Keys should never be left outside, Blankley said, because they are too easy to find. People should take valuable jewelry, firearms and cash with them when leaving town. Trusted friends and neighbors should check on the home or park in the driveway if possible.
People who return home and see that their home has been burglarized shouldn't go inside.
"Entering could be dangerous and destroy important evidence," he said.
It's more likely for stolen items to be recovered if the owner has compiled a property inventory and marked items with their driver's license numbers.
"Items are sometimes recovered before they are even discovered missing," he said.
He encouraged people to report burglaries even if they believe nothing can be done. Police need to know where to concentrate patrols, he said.
Anyone who recognizes the suspects from the photos released Monday is asked to call Tuscaloosa County CrimeStoppers at 205-752-STOP (78667) or text "Tusc" and the suspect's information to CRIMES (274637). Anyone who witnesses suspicious activity is encouraged to call or text CrimeStoppers or the Tuscaloosa Police Department at 205-349-2121.

To give you an idea of just how seriously we at Warners' Stellian take our Extreme Warehouse Sale…
Two of our customer service reps, Amy and Paula, and I got our nails done festively in anticipation of our big sale this Saturday and Sunday (yellow and black are our colors for the sale; red and black are our normal logo colors).
We three will be among nearly 60 workers entering orders in the checkout area, trying to keep the process as efficient as possible.
I guess you could say it's all hands on deck.
I think we'll really nail it.
OK, that's about all the groaners I can come up with for now.

You guys, this is clearly not Michael Kors' first time at the rodeo, even if it was his first time on safari. Kors used a recent trip to a luxurious South African resort in the middle of a nature reserve to power the Michael Kors Spring 2012 show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York, and if you're having a hard time seeing the theme in these photos, then you might want to get your eyes checked.michael kors satchel bagReplyDelete

President Obama, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and other senior administration officials are pushing to end the program.
The House Thursday voted to end production of the F-22 Raptor fighter jet, marking another decisive victory for the Obama administration as it tries to realign the military's spending priorities and rid the defense budget of programs it deems overpriced and unnecessary.
On a 269-165 vote, the House approved an amendment from House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman John Murtha, D-Pa., that stripped a $369 million down payment in the fiscal 2010 Defense spending bill for 12 more of the radar-evading fighters in fiscal 2011.
The vote preceded House passage of the Defense appropriations measure, a $636.3 billion bill that includes $128.2 billion for continuing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The bill passed 400-30.
Murtha has long supported buying more F-22s than the 187 already on order. But he reversed course abruptly last week after the Senate voted 58-40 to eliminate funding for more aircraft in the fiscal 2010 defense authorization bill after an intense push by President Obama, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and other senior administration officials to end the program.
Instead of buying more of the Lockheed Martin Corp. fighters, which have never been used in combat, Murtha's amendment redirects the funding to buy spare parts for the F-22s procured or on order, as well as parts for C-17 Globemaster III cargo planes.
"We're doing the best we can with what we have," Murtha said on the floor. "Politically, it's changed so dramatically that we just have no alternative."
The F-22, parts of which are manufactured in 44 states, once enjoyed widespread support from lawmakers who boasted that the planes generate $12 billion in economic activity annually in the United States.
But Gates has insisted 187 F-22s are adequate to meet current and future threats. And, in a strong endorsement of Gates' decision, Obama took the unusual step of personally threatening to veto any bill that contains funds for more planes.
During Thursday's consideration of the bill, lawmakers rejected, 307-124, an amendment from Reps. John Tierney, D-Mass., and Rush Holt, D-N.J., that would have eliminated $80 million in the bill for the troubled Kinetic Energy Interceptor program that the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency wants to end.
In addition, the House defeated several amendments from Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., aimed at striking earmarks in the bill, including add-ons that would benefit former clients of the now-defunct lobbying firm PMA Group, which is under federal investigation. The House rejected more than 550 amendments offered en bloc by Flake, all targeting earmarks.
Although stripped of the F-22 funding, the House spending bill still has veto bait, namely provisions on two other programs the administration has sought to end.
The bill includes $485 million to keep alive the VH-71 presidential helicopter program, which Obama says he doesn't want and whose costs have more than doubled over the last four years. It also contains $560 million to fund a second engine program for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter that the Defense Department has tried to cancel for several years only to be rebuffed repeatedly by Congress.

Research Board
We are only accepting applications for the categories of Humanities and Fine Arts and Social and Behavioral Sciences. Any other applications received will be disqualified from the competition.
About the Research Board
The University of Missouri Research Board consists of 22 faculty members appointed by the president for two-year terms. Its mission is to enhance the long-term quality and quantity of scholarship throughout the university by supporting meritorious research projects. An important goal is to provide seed funding for research initiatives with significant potential for high return on investment, in terms of future external funding, student theses and dissertation, publications, presentations, exhibitions, or other figures of merit associated with high-quality scholarship and research.
This support is intended to:
- help promising new faculty initiate their research programs
- provide seed money to test new ideas in their preliminary stages before enough data have been gathered to submit a proposal for external funding
- provide modest resources for excellent scholarship in fields for which external support may be quite limited
The Board considers these key factors in the review of projects:
- quality of the proposed research or creative activity
- importance and probable impact the proposed work may have on the field
- potential of the project to obtain future external funding
- potential value for enhancing the stature of the university
- project design and procedures
- resources and environment available to carry out the project
- value for development of the applicant's research potential
- quality, productivity, and current research funding of the applicant
- budget appropriateness in terms of the project and the board's resources, including consideration of need and availability of external support
Projects that would not be possible without UMRB funding and which have significant promise for long term impact are of particular interest, since such projects may generate substantial return on investment over the investigator's career. Proposals from young faculty are encouraged, in part because a modest investment may make a large impact over the course of their career. New initiatives of senior faculty who are expanding beyond their traditional areas of expertise are also encouraged. All funding, regardless of the rank of the applicant, is extremely competitive.
The board has established programs for:
- individual or collaborative projects
- book publication subventions
No funds are set aside for specific programs or for specific types of proposals, though in 2014 the UMRB elected to set aside at least $150,000 per competition to promote research in the Arts and Humanities. Inter-departmental, inter-campus collaboration and new cross-disciplinary research initiatives are encouraged and may strengthen a proposal and serve as a positive factor in its evaluation. A commitment of partial support for a project from the campus, college or unit is not required, but it may be a positive factor in the review.
Awards are not renewable. The research board will not serve as a source of continuing support for specific projects or facilities. Awards normally are for a one-year period, but longer terms (up to a maximum of two years) are permitted if fully justified in the proposal.

Flowering trees are one of the most important additions to any landscape. These trees add color and beauty in addition to curb appeal and property value. Flowering trees provide shade in the warm months and most drop their leaves in fall, allowing sun to heat your home just when you need some warmth. Your pocketbook will thank you! All of our flowering trees are low maintenance once established. You don't have to be an expert to take care of these easy to grow trees.
So, how do you choose which flowering trees are right for you?
Start with your site. If you have full sun, great, almost all flowering trees enjoy full sun. If you have a slightly shady spot choose a Flowering Dogwood or a Redbud tree. The Profusion Crabapple, Cleveland Flowering Pear, and Eastern Redbud are going to be the most tolerant of poor soil.
Check your planting zone before choosing your tree. Cold areas - The Royal Star Magnolia, Newport Flowering Plum, and Eastern Redbud are going to be the most cold-hardy Flowering trees, growing into a zone 4. Warm climates - Several varieties of Crape Myrtle can grow into a zone 10. These include Muskogee, Natchez, Tonto, and the Black Diamond series. The Knockout Rose trees and the Newport Flowering Plum can also tolerate heat and grow into a zone 10.
Determine what size tree is right for your space. Be sure to check the mature height and spread of the flowering tree you like before buying. You want to make sure your new tree has plenty of room to grow. We definitely have a size that will suit your needs. From Knock Out® Rose trees and Crape Myrtles as small as 4 feet to the Cleveland Flowering Pear and Crape Myrtles that can grow over 30 feet tall and everything in between you have plenty of options.
Now for the fun part! Pick the color, features, and look you like.
Few things announce spring quite like the early emerging blossoms of the Dogwood, Flowering Cherry, and Redbud trees. We treasure these blooms not only for their delicate and exquisite beauty but also for letting us know that warm weather is upon us and the dreary winter is coming to an end.
The Flowering Dogwood is sure to please with color options of white, pink, and red. No matter what color you choose this native tree is sure to add value to your property. Adored for its pretty four-lobed blooms, distinctive bark, and fiery red fall color, this classic tree puts on a show all year round. The Dogwood is your best option if you have a shady spot
Flowering Cherry trees are immensely popular all over the world. They have beauty beyond compare. The beloved Yoshino Flowering Cherry tree is one the very first trees to flower, blooming around Mid-March. The striking white-pink blossoms of the Yoshino have a uniquely light and sweet almond scent. Serious curb appeal here! The hardy Kwanzan Cherry tree has the longest bloom time of any Flowering Cherry tree. It touts lush pink blooms. The Kwanzan Cherry tree is the largest of these picturesque trees easily reaching 30 feet tall and wide at maturity.
Redbud trees have showy, purplish blooms that form clusters that pop up all over the tree, even on the trunk! Shimmery, heart-shaped leaves emerge in spring. Small, low maintenance, deer and drought tolerant, and adaptable, these stunning trees are perfect for any yard. The hardy Eastern Redbud is a great tree for tough sites and the most adaptable of the Redbuds. The Oklahoma Redbud is great for warmer regions and, like the Eastern Redbud, will tolerate some shade. The Rising Sun Redbud is the best Redbud for small spaces. Its mature size is only 8 to 12 feet tall and 8 feet wide. The foliage is amazing. From green to yellow to orange throughout the year this tree is a real looker. If you want true purple blooms choose the Forest Pansy Redbud. The heart-shaped foliage emerges plum purple in spring, fading to green in summer. If you love purple this is your tree!
If you are looking for a long bloom period, look no further than the Crape Myrtle. These southern beauties can bloom for over 4 months and add tons of color and character to your landscape. You can find just about any color you desire, light purple, dark purple, various shades of pink and red, and white. Try the Dynamite Crape Myrtle for a true red bloom virtually impossible to find in the plant world! Sizes range from 4 to 6 feet shrub-like dwarf trees to towering trees over 30 feet. There are even unique varieties with black leaves (Black Diamond series) and a few Crape Myrtles that can grow in the north. Check out the Red Rocket and the Magic series for the highest cold tolerance, growing into a planting zone 6. All of the Crape Myrtles we carry are pest and disease resistant as well as drought and deer tolerant.
You won't find larger, more fragrant blooms than those of the Magnolia. These stunning trees are generally known as southern trees, but the Royal Star Magnolia grows all the way from a chilly zone 4 to a toasty zone 9! This dwarf tree also has a great compact shape and a petite size, only growing about 10 to 15 feet tall and wide at maturity. The large, white fragrant blooms that open in spring are the star of the show!
Check out the Profusion Crabapple for a striking tree that is pest and disease resistant and tough as nails, even tolerating pollution and salt. The deep pink blooms are stunning and bountiful. An added bonus of this gorgeous flowering tree is that it pollinates Apple trees. So, it you have apple trees look forward to better quality and quantity in your fruit.
If you want a truly unique Flowering tree, plant a Newport Flowering Plum. These trees are tough and can grow almost anywhere in the US. Deep purple leaves make this trees stand out in the crowd. And they aren't just around in fall. Enjoy dark purple leaves in spring, summer, and autumn! Gorgeous and delicate white to pink blossoms coat this tree in spring.
The Cleveland Flowering Pear is the fastest growing flowering tree. This sturdy tree is tough and easy to maintain. It is loaded with white blooms in spring and has gorgeous deep red fall foliage.
Knock Out® Rose trees are perfect if you want a flowering tree but don't have the space. These little trees are just as tough as Knock Out® Rose shrubs and have most of the same options in Sunny (yellow), Blush, Double Pink and Double Red. Great for containers, pest and disease resistant, low maintenance, and with 3 seasons of colorful blooms you can't beat these little flowering trees! Knock Out® Rose Trees are the perfect gift too!
Be sure to browse our Dwarf Trees, Flowering Cherry Trees and Flowering Pear Trees for additional options.

Cheap Buzz: Buffalo Wild Wings
While I shouldn't start an article by professing my love for a location that I review—though with chain restaurants, let's be honest, I almost always have an opinion going in—I do want to at least call out a few good things about Buffalo Wild Wings.
They tend to be big and lively and feel like sports bars, with huge screens on the wall for my Steelers games. Beyond the wings, they have Naked Chicken Tenders (grilled tenders with no breading) which are a rare chain restaurant order that's not awful for you. (Hey, I write about McFlurrys all day; I'm allowed my off-duty low-carb diet.) And finally (to negate that last sentence), it has an awesome beer list.
But at Cheap Buzz, it's about the cocktails. And I must say, my friends, trying those drinks was a learning experience.
The Mojito at Buffalo Wild Wings reminded me of mint chewing gum, almost as if there were a mint flavor in the cocktail along with the mint leaves that filled my glass; it was very sweet, weak on the rum, and aggressively minty. If I had to guess, I'd say it was a mix doctored up with cosmetic mint and ice. Drinkability: Not bad, but not good.
If the Mojito was chewing gum, the Margarita was a Pixie Stick—incredibly sweet, with a strong "fruit" flavor—not fruit flavor. It was reasonably tart, in its favor, but couldn't overcome the sweetness; in the end, it just tasted like watery store-bought mix with a minimum pour of tequila. Drinkability: Like the mojito, generic and sweet.
The most interesting drink of the night, the Loaded Lemon Tea, combined sweet tea vodka and lemon; though it too was sweet, it wasn't as offensively so. Lemon, honey, and that tea vodka were all in balance; it's refreshing and easy enough to drink. That said, it's my favorite only in that there wasn't anything I hated about it. Drinkability: A great idea for a summer drink, and not too bad a version of it.
But things went wrong again with the Red Stag and Coke—a promotion with Red Stag, Jim Beam's Black Cherry flavored bourbon. Though the Stag and Coke had the most alcohol of any drink here, it also had the most sugar; cherry-flavored sodas are fine by me, but even for a guy who likes Cherry Coke, this thing was undrinkably sweet. Drinkability: Worst of the evening. Should Red Stag even have a mixer?
The Hangover Report
My favorite, by process of elimination, would be the Loaded Lemon Tea; however, best of the worst isn't a good place to be.
Luckily, there's an easy solution: stick to the beer. By any standards, their beer selection is impressive. At the Brooklyn location I visit, you can find Abita, Arrogant Bastard, Stone Ruination, Lagunitas, Coney Island Brewery, and a slew of others in bottles and on draft; other chains only carry the big brands, and maybe Sam Adams. Buffalo Wild Wings is miles ahead. I feel bad giving them a D+ for cocktails, but I feel like an A- beer rating makes up for it. And really, aren't sports bars are about beer?

PARIS, FRANCE and SAN DIEGO, CA – December 17, 2009
SYSTRAN, the leading provider of language translation technologies, today announced excellent results were achieved by training its new award-winning hybrid MT engine on the DGT Multilingual Translation Memory of the Acquis Communautaire.
The Acquis Communautaire Corpus, released by the Commission's Joint Research Center, is the largest existing parallel corpus for 22 languages and offers the ability to create 462 language pair combinations.
The new hybrid MT engine embedded in SYSTRAN Enterprise Server 7 was released in June 2009 and is the outcome of a three-year cooperative research program between SYSTRAN and Dr. Philipp Koehn of Edinburgh University.
Dr. Koehn is the scientific lead of the Moses software, an open source statistical machine translation system that has become the reference for research in this domain.
