Watch Live Coverage of Tuesday's Game
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The No. 5 Yale men's hockey team (9-3-3, 5-1-2 ECAC), puts its five-game unbeaten streak on the line with a 7 p.m. game at Harvard (2-10-2, 2-5-2) on Tuesday.
blue VS. CRIMSON
Harvard has a 134-74-18 lead heading into the 227th meeting, but Yale has won the last two. The Bulldogs, looking for a second straight win at Harvard, are 4-35-3 in the 42 games played at the Bright Center.
the crimson
Harvard, which beat Quinnipiac in its last conference outing on Dec. 29, is coming off a pair of losses at Minnesota last weekend. Michael Biega leads the team with 12 points while Kyle Richter (.905, 3.54, 2-8-1) has had most of the time in net.
The Bulldogs won 6-2 at the Bright Center before taking the Ingalls game 5-1. Brian O'Neill had two goals at Harvard, while Mike Matczak notched a pair at home. Billy Blase (32 saves) got the win in goal on the road, but Alec Richards (14) was in net at New Haven.
The Elis, 7-1-1 since Thanksgiving Day week, have 44 goals in those nine games after tallying 19 times over the first six contests of 2009-10. Yale has scored six goals or more in five games this winter compared to four last year. Fifteen different Bulldogs have lit the lamp to give Yale a 64-40 goal advantage.
Mark Arcobello scored twice while freshman goalie Jeff Malcolm made 29 saves in a 4-2 Bulldogs win before 2,954 at Thompson Arena on Sunday. A 1-0 Yale lead after two periods turned into a wild, five-goal third period with 21 shots on target, four Dartmouth man-advantages and 11 Malcolm saves. A 3-0 lead by the visitors with nine minutes left suddenly became a one-goal contest with players shuffling in and out of the penalty boxes. Arcobello had the game's first goal and the eventual game-winner in the third. Jeff Anderson and Brendan Mason, who had two points, had the other two tallies.
Arcobello nets pair
Senior F Mark Arcobello (5-8-13) notched his first mutiple-goal outing of 2008-09 Sunday at Dartmouth in a 4-2 win. He scored his first collegiate shorthander to give the Blue a 1-0 lead in the second period before tallying the winner in the third. He was a 2008-09 second-team All-America pick after recording 17-18-35. He has 39 goals and 93 points in three-plus seasons. He is second to Backman among active career leaders in goals and assists (54).
On LINE
On a night when the Elis were outshot and and held well below their average while scoreless with the man-advantage, you would not expect a line with a combined 10 points on the year to come up with four of them. The line of junior Brendan Mason, junior Jeff Anderson and Charles Brockett (first point of the year) did that Sunday.
Bulldog Bites
Yale has had 24 skaters suit up for games this year and all four goalies... Senior G Billy Blase is president of Sigma Nu (fraternity) and the founder and president of Yale's Undergraduate Student Entertainment Society... Freshman F Antoine Laganiere, whose brother is in his fourth year at the Yale Medical School, is an accomplished piano player who also plays guitar... Freshman G Nick Maricic started playing hockey on rollerblades in Alta Loma, Calif... Freshman F Andrew Miller worked as a lacrosse coach at Cranbrook Kingswood School in Michigan.
The Yale roster includes players from 12 different states and three provinces. The most from a state is two (California, Connecticut, Illinois and New Hampshire) while six hail from Alberta, including a Calgary pair.
The Bulldogs have outshot opponents in 10 of the 15 games and are 8-1-1 in those outings. The Elis average 37 shots and give up just over 27. In the third period alone, the Blue has a 71-shot advantage.
Powering Play
The Blue managed four PPG over the first six games and were operating at just over 11 percent efficiency. The Elis (20.7% for season) are 14-for-54 (25.9) in the last nine games. Yale's best day on special teams was (4-for-8) at Holy Cross on Nov. 28.
Lots of Little
Junior F Broc Little (15-20-35 last year) leads the Elis with 11 goals. He has a point in all but three games and six multiple-point outings this season. Little's .73 goals per game average is sixth in Division I, while he has the second best GWG (3) total and is 39th in points per game with 1.13. He led the nation in SHG with five last winter.
Sophomore F Brian O'Neill, who has points in 11 of 15 games and had the tying goal in the OT draw in the Badger Showdown title game, leads the team with 20 points. He had 2-1-3 in the win over Sacred Heart on Nov. 24 and 1-2-3 vs. Ferris State. O'Neill's 1.33 points per game are 13th in Division I. He made the CHN (national) and ECAC Hockey All-Rookie teams after going 12-14-26 last winter.
Kearney PRODUCING
Junior F Denny Kearney (6-8-14), who has a point in 11 of 15 games, had two goals in the win over Quinnipiac. He is second to Mark Arcobello (54) in active career assists with 44. Kearney (Hanover, NH), who played in his hometown last Sunday at Dartmouth, was in Colorado over the break to watch his sister, Hannah, 2005 world champion, qualifiy for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver as a mogul skier.
net mix
Four different Bulldogs have earned a win in net this season. The Elis have two freshmen, a junior and senior battling for the top job. Newcomers Nick Maricic (2.41, .909, 3-1-2) and Jeff Malcolm (2.01, .916, 4-1-0), junior Ryan Rondeau (3.84, .880, 1-1-1) and senior Billy Blase (3 saves, 1-0-0) have been in net. Rondeau has the top save night with 40 at Princeton, while Malcolm gave up the fewest (1) goals in a 1-0 loss at UVM. Maricic, the only Eli goalie who qualifies for the national rankings, is 25th in GAA among Division I players and is 42nd in save percentage. Maricic has the most (373) minutes played, Blase, the only Eli with a collegiate shutout, has the fewest (12).
Backman MOVING UP
F Sean Backman (10-7-17) has 108 points in 108 career games and is fifth at Yale with 66 career goals. Backman, who trails Mark Kaufmann (69) by three for the No. 4 spot, was named to the College Hockey News (CHN) 2008-09 Pre-Season All-America squad. Ding Palmer's 87 career goals between 1927-30 are a long way off. Backman has a point in 10 of 15 outings this winter and is 15th in Division I with .67 goals per game. He was second-team All-ECAC last year after leading his team with 20 goals. Backman tallied the team's lone hat trick of the year in a 5-0 win over Cornell that gave the Blue the ECAC Hockey Tournament Title and made him tournament MVP.
Senior defenseman Tom Dignard (4-11-15) has 17 career goals, which is fourth on the school charts and a dozen shy of the record set by Dave Baseggio (29-79-108) between 1985-89. Dignard needs five goals to catch Darcy Ryan and Ray Giroux (22) and tie for second. He is seventh among Yale blueliners in career points with 62, five behind Bill Nichols (67). The current Bulldog ranks No. 2 in the nation among blueliners with 1.25 points per game.
Century Mark
Senior F Mark Arcobello has 112 career games played. Most Eli seniors don't get a glimpse of triple digits until late in their final campaigns. Teammates F Sean Backman (108) and D Ryan Donald (104) recently followed Arcobello. All three could break the record of 125 games shared by Jeff Hamilton '01 and Jeff Hristovski '06.
Captain Ryan Donald
Ryan Donald (St. Albert, ALB), a class of 2010 defenseman, is the captain of the 2009-10 Bulldogs. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Bulldog skater is one of 20 NCAA hockey candidates for the 2009-10 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence - classroom, character, community and competition. Donald has compiled a 2.93 grade point average as a political science major at one of the nation's top universities. He was recognized as a member of the ECAC All-Academic team in 2009.
The 2008-09 Bulldogs enjoyed the best season in the history of Yale hockey after starting 10-5 overall with 47 goals. The current Bulldogs have one less victory in their first 15 but have hit the net 64 times. The Elis were 2-1 against nationally ranked teams in the first 15 last year, they are 4-2-1 this season.
In the Polls
Yale moved from up one place from No. 6 on both the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine & USCHO.com lists this week. Yale's No. 6 ranking in the USCHO poll the first week of November had been the "highest" it had been listed this season. The Elis' best ranking ever was No. 5 in both polls late March of 2009. The Bulldogs are 2-0-2 against top 15 teams in the current USA Today rankings and 3-2-2 vs. top 20 teams in the USCHO poll. Yale is 4-2-1 against ranked teams this season.
On the Bench
Keith Allain '80, Yale's Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach of Hockey, has helped establish the Bulldogs on the national scene since he joined the program three years ago. In 2008-09 he led Yale to the best season in the program's history. A school-record 24 wins, Yale's first ECAC Tournament Championship and a school-best No. 5 national ranking in late March backs up that statement. The Elis' second ECAC regular-season title, a third NCAA Tournament appearance and an Ivy League crown confirm the status of the 2008-09 squad. He was honored by ECAC coaches as conference coach of the year (Tim Taylor Award) and College Hockey News named him national coach of the year. This is Allain's 11th overall year at Yale; he spent four as a student-athlete and goalie and three as an assistant coach in the 1980s.
Allain AFTER SUNDAY'S GAME
"It was a tough, hard-fought road victory. I was very pleased with the play of our young goalie, who came up with some big saves for us. The Mason-Brockett-Anderson line did a good job of setting the tone for us. "It was their defensive play, offense and physical play that made the difference. They had the whole package tonight. As a group, they were very difficult to play against."
The junior class has contributed 22 goals this season, two more than the seniors. The sophomores are third with 13 while the newcomers have eight goals and 26 points.
Fourteen former Yale players are skating professionally this winter. Here are the details on each. Alec Richards '09 (Rockford Icehogs, AHL), Brennan Turner '09 (Elmira Jackals, ECHL), David Meckler '09 (Manchester Monarchs, AHL), Blair Yaworski '08 (Wheeling Nailers, ECHL), Matt Cohen '07 (Trenton Devils, ECHL), Brad Mills '07 (Lowell Devils, AHL), Chris Brooks '06 (Bakersfield Condors, ECHL), Joe Zappala '06 (Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs, CHL), Chris Higgins '05 (New York Rangers, NHL), Joe Callahan '05 (Worchester Sharks, AHL), Stacey Bauman '03 (Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees, CHL), Jeff Hamilton '01 (Lugano, Swiss-A), Ray Giroux '98 (St. Petersburg SKA, KHL) Alex Westlund '98 (Linz EHC, Austria)
Ingalls Renovations
Saturday is Ingalls Rink dedication day and includes alumni day (and an alumni game at 9:45 AM). The official dedication (invitation only) is 2:30, while Yale and Brown drop the puck at 7:30. The dedication will also be recognized Saturday night at the game. The rink has been modernized in many ways while adding 13,000 square feet of varsity operational space. The additions include locker rooms and space for strength & conditioning, student-athlete study area, medical & training, officials, video, coaches, equipment, reception (Schley Room) and more. There are new historical displays and concession stands and bathrooms.
All Yale home games include live video and audio streaming. All games from Ingalls can be seen live through Yale's All Access on yalebulldogs.com. The audio is provided by WYBC radio, and the broadcast can also be heard on either AM 1340 or on wybc.com.
The YUAD invites Yale hockey fans to an Ingalls Rink open skate with the men's and women's teams from Noon to 1 on Sunday, Feb. 7. Facility tours will also be available.

RIPLEY – The season started optimistically. After all, Coach Ken Swisher returned four seniors who were the last players on the roster to experience the 2009 state championship
The season started optimistically. After all, Coach Ken Swisher returned four seniors who were the last players on the roster to experience the 2009 state championship.
The Lady Vikes finished (16-9) and were ranked tenth at the end of the regular season. Unfortunately, The girls in blue were ousted by all state hurler Cece Bailey and Parkersburg South 2-1 and 6-0 in the sectionals. An 8-0 dismantling of Parkersburg kicked off the Ripley softball postseason.
Makenzie Hesson, Kayla Ford, Ryne Hill and Abby Brannon led a youthful Viking team with enthusiasm and class as the girls jumped out of the shoot and snatched early victories to establish their season early.
Returning all state sophomore hurler Reese Gandee would handle the bulk of the pitching this season.
Gandee layed down a firm foundation and kept the Lady Vikings in virtually every game she pitched. Chelsey Hager also made the occasional start and worked in relief. If needed, Karly Fitzsimmons and Dusti Fisher were ready to fire from the bullpen.
Hager, the speedy Ali Cunningham and Fisher patrolled the outfield and did so with precision as all three made the all MSAC team for 2012.
Senior Hesson led the squad in hitting (.386) and played a near flawless second base for the Lady Vikings. Ripley's Female athlete of the year Ryne Hill also had a fine season. Hill played multiple positions including catcher. Hill and Hesson also snagged MSAC selections. Hill hit .306 and drove in 12 and crossed the dish 14 times.
Senior Abby Brannon drove in 14 runs and scored nine on the season. Brannon had a knack for bringing the ducks in off the pond in her career.
Cunningham and Hager stole bases at will for the Lady Vikes with 23 between them.
Arguably, the best team performance of the season was a 1-0 shutout of a very talented South Charleston team. In the contest, Gandee hurled a gutsy one hitter for Ripley in a fierce pitching dual.
The Lady Vikes spent spring break at Myrtle Beach for the Grand Strand Softball tournament. The tourney boasted 16 top teams from the east coast. Ripley faired very well against top competition and finished No. 4. A very impressive showing for the gals in blue as they represented Ripley and the State of West Virginia.
There were close calls, a 1-0 loss to then No.1 Saint Albans on the road was a hard one to bring back home for the team.
A 13-3 victory over rival Ravenswood on senior night was a wonderful memory for the seniors to take with them. Previously, Ripley swept a double header at home over George Washington at Lady Viking Park. Looking ahead to 2013, Coach Swisher returns some very talented ball players. It was good to see so many other underclassmen shine like Mikayla Pursley, Meghan Brannon, Ashley Mellinger, Montana Kershner, Hannah Ford, Desiree' Johnson and Sierra Norris among others.
The team will return three seniors next year in Cunningham, Katelyn Jordan and Kershner. The Junior class next year will be a special and talented one.
It's worthy of noting that the development of frosh catcher Ashley Mellinger was something to truly witness. Mellinger gained confidence as they season progressed and this really helped in the loss of Dusti Fisher's consistent bat to injury late in the season.
Terry Landis turned in a fabulous year from the press box. Landis is a dedicated Viking and his presence at the ball field is always special. Coach Bower, Coach Nester, Coach Hager, Coach Ratliff and Coach Vannest put in long hours for the Lady Vikings.
Coach Swisher was proud of the girls and all of the hard work and dedication they put forward and looks forward to the 2013 season. "I wouldn't trade this team for any other. We had good senior leadership. We relied on quite a few younger girls this year and they stepped up and delivered."

Gallery: Alec Baldwin Rethinks His Stance On Farming In Hamptons Magazine
Much like his 30 Rock character Jack Donaghy, Alec Baldwin is widely known to be a sharply dressed man. "It's after six. What am I, a farmer?" Jack once said in response to being asked why he was wearing a tux, and it's always seemed like Alec agreed. Imagine my surprise, then, when I saw him impersonating a farmer in Hamptons Magazine, even going so far as to wear cut-offs. Are there exceptions to the don't-look-like-a-farmer rule that are specific to Alec Baldwin while he is summering in the Hamptons? In any case, my love for him is unconditional.

Difference between revisions of "Morgantown (West Virginia)"
Revision as of 04:59, 7 April 2011
Morgantown is in Monongalia County, West Virginia and is the county seat. It is home to the West Virginia University Mountaineers. It has been described as the #1 small city in America. Morgantown was established in 1772 by a man named Zaquill Morgan; hence the name Morgantown.
Get in
By Air:
By Car:
Morgantown is: 77 miles South of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania 322 miles North of Richmond, Virginia 225 miles West of Baltimore, Maryland 327 miles West of Philadelphia, Pennsylania 205 miles East of Columbus, Ohio
Get around
The PRT provides the primary mode of transportation between Downtown Morgantown, the WVU Downtown Campus, the Evansdale Campus and the Medical Center Complex for students, faculty, and staff of the University and residents of the Morgantown area. Nominal cost to ride across campus. Summer Hours: Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 6:15 p.m.; Saturdays 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The Mountain Line is a public transit bus system providing service in and around the city of Morgantown. The service is free to students, with nominal fares for the public. The city of Morgantown subsidizes the bus system, making the fares very affordable.
Movie Theaters
Arts & Entertainment
Night Life
The Morgantown area has been home to over 30 glass factories over the past 100 years, including Seneca Glass, Monongahela Valley Cut Glass, Mississippi Glass, Pressed Prism Glass, Beaumont Glass, and others. Currently there are only two glass factories left in the area:
Sally's Beauty Supply, Maurice's, Petco, TJ Maxx, Old Navy, Target, Giant Eagle, Goody's, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, Dick's Sporting Goods, Barnes & Noble, Sam's Club, Super Wal-Mart, Olive Garden, Cheddar's, Longhorn Steakhouse, Chili's, CiCi's Pizza, Evergreen Buffet
Because Morgantown is home to a major University, downtown Morgantown nightlife thrives for those in their twenties to early thirties. High Street is the main center for bar activity. Similar student activity can be found adjacent to the main WVU campus in "Sunnyside". Don't expect this to apply to the summer months, however.

Ten thousand in cold hard cash should be sufficient for anyone to act crazy inside a social gathering, and it was enough for these students who were eager to produce an incredible celebration to send to daredorm.

These people started out simply by enjoying the game Dirty Dice, and it slowly but surely grew to be a full-scale make out session, which generated a snatch licking event. All these young ladies appeared so sexy when they were being fucked, that it convinced everyone else at the social gathering take off their clothes and start fucking one another.

Brian Proffitt should shut up and stop trying to manufacture some kind of controversy over absolutely nothing controversial or even notable.
The source article mispells H. Peter Anvin [wikipedia.org] as "Alvin" where he's listed for "The Linux Kernel Organization". I normally wouldn't have cared but for all the times I've seen his name on various Linux bootloaders...he's kind of a big deal.
Ha! [youtube.com] You got me.
If I need a new electrical socket, I may hire an electrician to put one in. I pay him some money.
Yet, the specs of the socket, the wiring, how to connect them all up are easily available and in the public domain, for free. After he's connected the socket, I can see his work, I could even copy it to add my own socket in another room.
The electrician would be paid money for what he did. He does not fit sockets out of 'love'!!
Why should Open Source software development be any different?
Why should Open Source software development be any different?
Wrong question. The correct question is why should software development be any different? Back in the day, putting software on disks, boxing it up and distributing it was a large part of the cost of development. Now, with the Internet, distributing software is basically free. Writing software, however, still takes time, which means it takes money (even if it's just opportunity cost). In fact, given the increase in complexity of software, it often costs a lot more than it used to.
So does it make sense to do the expensive bit (creating the software) for free and then try to charge for the trivial bit (copying the software)? Absolutely not! It would be like your electrician putting in the socket for free and then charging you a small fee every time you turned it on or off.
I write quite a lot of open source software. Some of it I write because I want to use it. Some of it I write because I'm paid. The people who pay me are almost always people who want to use the software. It's usually much cheaper for them to pay me to add a few features to an existing project than to pay a team of people to recreate it. I get paid to write it, so I'm happy. They get the software that they want to use and don't have to worry about EULAs, license audits, or hidden costs when they scale up their business, so they're happy. The only people who are unhappy are the ones trying to cling to a business model that doesn't make any sense.
Either from the consumer or the author's standpoint. The real problem is with software that is complex and expensive to develop but, if done right, easy to use. There's little to no ability to sell support on it if you do it right because it is easy to use, well documented, and so on. So you aren't going to make money trying to sell support contracts. However you also can't rely on good will. If you need to spend $10 million to write the stuff you'd better have a way to make that money back. However it isn'
The problem with FOSS is what I call the "Busted shitter dilemma" which you ran into when you couldn't find a replacement for Vegas. As you pointed out taking one of the existing FOSS editors and bringing it to to Vegas level? Really really REALLY not fun, instead it'll be long, slow, headache inducing thankless work. Since as you have pointed out it is VERY difficult to make money with FOSS except in some very niche circumstances that work simply doesn't get done.
I bet the FOSS editing software you looked at had lousy or incomplete docs, obvious features missing, and one or more nasty bugs that had been well documented but not fixed. That isn't because all FOSS software is shit, its because of human nature. We humans love to create new things but HATE long boring tedious jobs. Ask for someone to write you a song or paint you a portrait for free? you'll probably find several willing to do so. Ask them to come fix your busted shitter? Watch as you have ZERO willing to do this, its just the way it is.
That is why I have been saying for years we need a NEW license, one that will allow companies like Canonical the ability to get paid for fixing busted shitters. Wouldn't it be nice if Canonical didn't have to flail around trying to find some way to make money, like slapping together Unity and trying to sell it to TV and phone OEMs that will never bite? Wouldn't it be nice if instead they could pay developers to ONLY make things better? Better docs, QA, regression testing, insuring that all software fit the UI conventions, in short making a truly world class OS? Wouldn't that be nice? Because like it or not for every creative job you have in FOSS you have 100 that are about as pleasant as being the guy that cleans up the puke at the Chuck E Cheese. So instead we need a new license i call the "Hard Work" license, because I think we would all agree if you bust your ass you should get to be paid for your labor. here is the new license:
1.-You are allowed to have the code, 2.-You are free to modify that code for personal use in any way you desire, 3.-If you distribute that code YOU MUST PAY for a license, which must be offered.
See how simple that is? You still get ALL your freedoms, even the freedom to distribute (since the other company can't just refuse to sell you a license) but those that actually fix the busted shitters can be paid for their doing the thankless jobs nobody will do for free. Imagine how truly incredible the FOSS landscape would be in less than 5 years...Vegas? There would be software MUCH better since the devs would get feedback direct from the users and wouldn't have to depend on selling new features. Operating systems? Apple and MSFT are stunned when the latest releases come out and ALL the complaints have been wiped out, all drivers are solid and stable, upgrades never break, all the docs are well written and helpful, the entire ecosystem thanks to having the users and devs tied tightly together and the devs having a monetary incentive to listen to their users causes a complete change, no more itch scratching and "will not fix" blowing off the users since those that strive for a "it all just works perfectly" mantra get rewarded for their hard work.
Its really simple folks, the GPL works in SOME places but not ALL places and I would argue not even in most places does the GPL license work. It works in both servers and embedded because large corporations make money on those servers and embedded devices and thus see it as an investment, this model simply doesn't work on the desktop or on software that will primarily be used on a desktop. What you end up with is what we have now, where companies that try to treat FOSS as more than a hobby blow millions before finally folding for lack of a way to recoup costs. The landscape is littered with the dead, gOS, Xandros, Linspire, Novell, Mandriva any day now and within 3 years Canonical. If you want the desktop software to get beyond some guy's hobby and the desktops to have more polish than "Bob's distro" then you simply have to
And I'd be fine with some hybrid model software. In fact I really don't care at all what model the software has. I just want something that does what I need for the lowest cost possible. If that means OSS, great. If it means pricey commercial software, fine. I am a pragmatist about software, I view it as a tool to get a job done. My concern is thus the right tool for the job.
The problem is as you say that people don't want to do the boring shit. However the boring shit is also the highly important shit. Als
1.-You are allowed to have the code, 2.-You are free to modify that code for personal use in any way you desire, 3.-If you distribute that code YOU MUST PAY for a license, which must be offered.
I'm not clear exactly how this would work. Is it similar to my Rails Wheels Licence [railswheels.com]?
Under a Rails Wheels licence, although a software package's source and build system must be made available, the software's owner has the option to only allow people who have paid for the software to run it in other than a test system.
Second, other developers can freely fork the software, but if they re-distribute it they must pay the original developer their normal asking price for each copy they distribute, meaning that they'll usually have to charge at least as much, keeping any premium their enhanced package can charge.
This makes the licence differ from a FOSS licence in two respects: The freedom to run (FSF Freedom 0) restricted to paying customers; and redistribution can require a per-copy fee to be paid to the original developer (though is otherwise unfettered).
Such a system can percolate money up fork trees so that each fork only gets paid for the value they add. All the FOSS benefits of being able to tinker with the software are unchanged.
I think an app marketplace centred around this licence would be a way to make commercial 100% open source software a reality, where by commercial I mean charging for the software itself rather than back door methods like product placement (Mozilla), support, donations, or proprietary extensions.
While I like your idea mine was based on killing the "you're hurting the poor!" arguments I've often seen thrown about, like how they'll always point out some third world country using FOSS in schools or giving it to kids and say 'You'll destroy that you monster!".
So I based my idea on a license that has been around for ages in the Windows world, the "Free for non commercial use" license. this lets individuals and charities, those that are making NO profits on the software, the right to use it. in my modifi
So I based my idea on a license that has been around for ages in the Windows world, the "Free for non commercial use" license. this lets individuals and charities, those that are making NO profits on the software, the right to use it. in my modified form you lose NO freedoms, you simply have one freedom modified and that is the right to distribute which says if you distribute then you MUST pay for a license that MUST be offered.
Right. That seems to be the same concept as Rails Wheels: don't stop people forking and re-distributing the software, but remove the GPL freedom of allowing the distributor to charge whatever they like (including nothing) for their version — ensure that money flows back to who did the work.
Ultimately as things become ever more complex and integrated i believe you will see the GPL model dying out, simply because good programmers don't have the spare time to futz with software they can't make a cent off of. if the numbers in an article.
I think GPL and BSD can work well, and will continue to be the best licence for very large foundation software projects that provide a common resource to many. But I agree that we need a licence that allows Inde
I just don't understand why so many act like you are a baby killer if you want to actually get paid for your hard work, I mean they act like all programmers should just starve rather than get paid to fix the busted shitters. As Apr 2014 approaches I've been looking long and hard for a distro that will actually "just work" for all these off lease office boxes that are coming through my door and so far have found ZERO that will work, and it all comes down to 3 problems nobody is willing to fix: 1.-updates/upg
It's usually much cheaper for them to pay me to add a few features to an existing project than to pay a team of people to recreate it.
My dad's a master carpenter. If you asked him to, say, add in a bay window to the front of your house he'd be able to estimate what it would cost including materials, time, and potential cost overruns. Contractors pretty much always pocket the difference.
I really like the whole "bug bounty" thing as it provides an economic incentive to find bugs... so why aren't there more software developers that do the same thing? "Want me to add a feature to this program? Ask me. If enough people ask me I might do
why aren't there more software developers that do the same thing? "Want me to add a feature to this program? Ask me. If enough people ask me I might do it for free. If it's something you really want, I may very well do it for a fair price."
Most open source developers will do this. If you want a feature, we'll quite happily give you a quote for implementing it. I usually work on a fixed price, so I estimate how long it will take, multiply that by my daily rate, and will do it for that amount. Even if projects don't advertise it, a mail to the list saying 'I want this feature, what will it cost' will usually get some replies...

Consider my ignorance of the fact a hint that maybe you guys should advertise it a bit. Think of all the people who are not taking advantage of something they otherwise would had they known it exists.
Back in the day, putting software on disks, boxing it up and distributing it was a large part of the cost of development. Now, with the Internet, distributing software is basically free.
Way back in the day, I wrote code for single configuration computer systems (8 bit Apple/Atari/Commodore), and when I had it working, I copied it onto a disk and shipped it. There were some optional fancy loader schemes, but basically, no headaches at all.
Now, get out NSIS or whatever to make an installer, test it on 3 or 4 of the OSs it's supposed to run on, put in the "live patching via web" module, test that... you could invest a couple of hundred man hours in distributing "Hello World" to a typical spr
When Firefox corrupts Microsoft Windows it often damages operations in Windows that are not connected with browsing.
That Windows allows itself to be corrupted in a way that survives killing firefox.exe is the fault of Microsoft (for defective Windows code) or of hardware manufacturers (for defective driver code).
Crashes per 100 active daily users, version 10.0, the version before the most recent:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/products/Firefox/versions/10.0 [mozilla.com]
Version 11 is less stable. Crashes per 100 active daily users, version 11.0, the most recent version:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/products/Firefox/versions/11.0 [mozilla.com]
Comparing crashes this way isn't quite fair. Firefox interacts with other software (plugins, extensions, injected DLLs) and it is likely that a new release will cause more crashes that a release that has been out for 6 weeks already because the developers of this software haven't tested or updated it to work in the new version. One would need to compare the current crash rate in 11 vs. the crash rate in 10 at the same point in the release cycle to come up with meaningful numbers.
I'm only pointing out that the methodology you're using in that specific comparison is flawed. I'm not even saying you're wrong (I don't know if you are).
I'm not making up excuses, I'm actually trying to help you come up with more compelling arguments.
You can spare us the list/rant. I know I've read it many times before.
The crashes are often preceded by rapidly increasing memory use. Firefox often corrupts Microsoft Windows, so that Windows needs to be re-started. When Firefox corrupts Microsoft Windows it often damages operations in Windows that are not connected with browsing.
Can you give any references for that? Given that Windows (NT, anyway) has process separation and all that other nifty stuff, the only way a user mode process can "corrupt" the system is if you've stumbled into a kernel security hole that would be potentially exploitable - and those kinds of things tend to be Slashdot front page news.
As long we can obtain the source code for free (as in both beer and freedom) does anyone care if someone found a way to make a profit off it?
I would much rather give a company selling FOSS related products so they could profit over someone else.
You find a number of people like OSS not because it is free as in speech but because they don't want to pay for anything. They don't tend to claim that is the reason, of course, but it is. I've met more than a couple people that were big OSS heads and claimed it was all about freedom of the code (though they never did anything with it themselves) but were completely opposed to the idea of paying for any software.
How they expected developers to put food on the table I'm not sure.
"You find a number of people like OSS not because it is free as in speech but because they don't want to pay for anything."
Which they have perfect right to do. *I* don't want to pay for anything, from software to Ferraris. When I pay for something is because I *have* to do it.
"were completely opposed to the idea of paying for any software."
I am basically opposed to the idea of paying for something that it is already done, payed for and that has zero replication costs too.
Paying for writing new software or servicing said software, both of them activities that have obvious production cost tagged to them, on the other hand, I find perfectly reasonable.
"How they expected developers to put food on the table I'm not sure."
I'll tell you. By doing what they are qualified to do: writing software, not distributing software of tagging artificial scarcity to something with no replication costs.
I am basically opposed to the idea of paying for something that it is already done, payed for and that has zero replication costs too.
So what if the replication costs are zero? The work to make the software in the first place isn't free (we're assuming of course a for-sale product), so compensating for said effort is appropriate. It might take quite a number of sales before the costs for developing a product breaks even. Then there are the distribution costs, which even if it's something as simple as a serv
I think he favours the Blender model of FOSS: there are people in the community coming up with ideas for new features and making fundraisers for it. It's like Kickstarter except the result becomes OSS. If not enough money comes together, less features will be implemented. Of course it only works for people with proper resume/portfolio. (See their OpenCL renderer.)
Many years ago I stopped paying for non-free software. I don't want it. I don't need it. And I'm not going to pay for it unless it's (going to be) free.
After all, for most software the major part of the value comes from all the other lemmings.
(And, yeah, I know, that means I should be running (pirated) Windows
"So what if the replication costs are zero?"
I already said what. Why do you cite out of context asking question already answered within that text?
"compensating for said effort is appropriate"
No, that's never appropriate. If it were, I could make a living out of farting. Compensation is never asociated to effort -and it shouldn't, but to percieved benefits to the recieving end. That's in fact why selling software usage licenses have been such a good business no matter how much I dislike it: because there
An illustrative example, taken from real life:
Many years ago, I was working at a small cell phone company who wanted to introduce a new voice mail system. The dev team's manager found an OSS project that did the job and did it well, but was written for GSM phones when the company was running CDMA phones. Now, we looked through the source code (which we could never have done if it had been closed source), found the portion that was specific to GSM phones, then placed some appropriate ads and found somebody w
There is no such thing as zero replication cost. It may be small, you may be able to get/sucker other people to bear the cost, but it's not zero.
Shit, I'll admit it. It used to be because I though it was a nice ideology (and it is), but nowadays I'll freely admit that I just like free software. I don't want to pirate anymore, but I don't want to buy software if there's a perfectly good OSS alternative available. Plus by using the OSS alternative I future-proof myself in case I finally decide to move to Linux (which may never happen, but it can't hurt to keep my options open and make the possible transition as painless as possible).
There's nothing wr
I don't want to buy software if there's a perfectly good OSS alternative available.
What's your opinion on income tax return preparation tools? Even if the engine is free, Intuit and H&R Block treat their machine-readable interpretations of this year's amendments to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the 50 states' respective tax codes as a valuable trade secret and thus have no business case to make their products free software.
I tend to now buy games and media more than tools, so long as the games are cross-platform and the media is non-DRMed.
Except for the fact that a lot of games that aren't FPS, RTS, or MMORPG aren't cross-platform; they're either Wii exclusive, Xbox 360 exclusive, PS3 exclusive,
The real problem isn't people using Linux because it's free.. If a developer wants to create a piece of software and give it away, or they sign up to work on a project that they know will be free, there really isn't a problem.
The problem is when those users, start making demands that cost the developers money. They demand features from a commercial version be added to the free version; or they demand tech support; or even just free downloads instead of a torrent. (Yes, that download of Ubuntu wasn't free..
I don't hate RH. I like RH. I'm kind of annoyed with RHEL because people keep using ancient bug-ridden libraries and blaming me.
I've lost track of the number of times I've had this conversation:
Them: Foo doesn't work. Fix it. Fix it now.
Me: That was fixed upstream in library bar 7 years ago.
Them: We use RHEL4, and our policy won't let us install 3rd party library update packages.
Me: So you have an expensive contract. I'm sure RedHat will provide an official patch.
Them: Actually, we use CentOS4.
Me: . o O (Go buy a RHEL contract, you cheapskates. Or change your idiotic policy.)
But that's not RedHat's fault.
I was going to post almost exactly this, but then I thought it would be interpreted as trolling. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who's had this experience. If any RedHat employees are reading this, please pay careful attention to the following:
A stable system means not changing the ABI. It does not mean refusing to ship bug fixes.
I agree. Frankly I'm shocked about the low numbers reported. Surely the author of Python deserves more than $30K/year? I'm not a big fan of the coders behind the GTK+ code base. Could it be partly because the whole Gnome organization runs on about $500K/year? Maybe that doesn't buy very many good coders? Apache makes practically nothing. How is that a good thing? I had no idea that our collective generosity added up to so little. I mean, we seem to be able to put together a couple hundred million i
Hmm, just because the foundations don't get a lot, doesn't mean the programmers don't - some (many?) of them are employed by other companies.
For example, the creator of Python, Guido van Rossum, is employed by Google not by the PSF, so you can be well sure he gets more than $30k/year.
Take 5 of the most grating bugs collated from any Slashdot project discussion, particular those which are often compared to 'the leading (non-floss) brand.' Imagine 5 programmers hired FULL TIME every year to work on each respective area. Subtract an average programmer's salary times 5 from (the top few, with some assumptions in data) salaries occupied in the upper management echelon.
A simple calculation shows which management figureheads understand the long term role of floss in public technology. You can
I work for a for-profit company. What the boss decides to do with the software is none of my buisiness - I still need to put food on the table.
If I worked at a company who's target was not to make profit - I still would need to eat if its my full-time job. Just that at the end of the day(year) the company won't cut a big check to shareholders.
I have no problem with non-profits making money - if you don't have fulltime developers the company will collapse sooner rather than later.
there are aspects of 'non profit' where there are no profits because the directors pay themselves such large salaries that there's (strangely!) no cash left over each year. I don't consider these non-profit at all.
eg. from TFA:
the Mozilla Foundation generated the highest compensation levels for Baker and Eich who, while receiving no direct salary from the Mozilla Foundation, were compensated $589,953 each from "reportable compensation from related organizations" and "estimated amount of other compensation from the [Mozilla Foundation] and related organizations."
"Related organizations," in this instance, is the Mozilla Corp., the for-profit subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation that generates much of the Foundation's revenue.
With a revenue of $1,934,659, the Mozilla Foundation ranked fourth of the eighteen FLOSS-related non-profits researched for this report. But with a net cash flow loss of $1,333,815 for the 2010 fiscal year, the Mozilla Foundation was next to last on money lost for the year.
so, basically Mozilla Corp pays Mozilla Foundation cash to make stuff that the corp then sells/advocates/etc. Only the foundation sat on a net loss of $1.3m, yet the corp paid its 2 directors $1.2m..... hmm.
Now I don't mind the directors making a reasonable amount of money from the situation, we all got to eat after all, but I'd say a more reasonable remuneration would be more like $100k, not nearly 600k. And I totally disagree with directors sucking the non-profit cash-cow dry.
And it doesn't stop with cash. Mozilla had a private jet for "advocating" that the CEO used to travel. There are many perks associated with the job.
I get angry they have money for private jets and large salaries but won't support more operating systems and get more development going on the products. Don't tell me you don't have resources to officially support mobile or even larger OS projects when you can fly around the country in your own plane.
Citation please? I'm not aware of either Gary Kovacs or John Lilly traveling in a private jet during their tenures as CEO....
It was Mitchell Baker. I'm having trouble finding the article now. It was something I read on a mozilla blog some years ago.
I would also be very very surprised by that. Please do cite, because so far this looks like pretty basic FUD to me...
Do you really think $100k is the correct salary for a full-time job being CTO of a 500+ person company whose main business is technology? In the Bay Area?
This is not money Brendan and Mitchell are being paid as "directors"; this is money they are being paid as employees with quite specific jobs involving a good bit of responsibility.
Mozilla has employees in multiple locations, some of which have lower cost of living than Silicon Valley.
Mozilla also has a number of employees who happen to not be the CTO...
Was your question serious (as in, you really don't understand why different people in an organization might be paid different amounts), or are you just trolling?
But last of all.. The site you linked to just has bad data. For one thing, it lists a "high" of $116k, which is quite obviously bogus....
Mozilla has employees in multiple locations, some of which have lower cost of living than Silicon Valley.
Tha'ts very interesting, but the locations of all of the positions given on the site are listed right next to them - Mountain View, California. I'm not sure where the site gets it's data, but you're right that it's clear that they don't have information on every employee. I suspect that this is self-reported information.
Given that I didn't ask why different people are paid different amounts, your question is a nonsequiter. I wrote what I did in the hope that a reader (you) would be able to do a modicum of
> with some variation a software engineer at Mozilla is

Those numbers are too low, especially if you look at total compensation (including bonuses), and not just salary.
I have no idea where the site you linked to is getting its numbers, but they're just flat-out wrong. If Mozilla was paying those rates in the Bay Area they wouldn't be able to hire people. The correct numbers for salary+bonus are probably close to 1.5x to 2x that much for
I guess I'm being voted flamebait or troll for this, but someone's got to say it.
The only problem with FLOSS is that you can't make money with with two exceptions: (1) You can earn money if your software is sufficiently complicated; in that case you get money mostly for support work and maintaining the software, not from selling the software itself. (2) You can earn money by making the software FLOSS, but using obscure languages, build systems, or distributing the source in a way that makes it almost imposs
where's the money to develop a sequel?
From people who want to play the sequel, perhaps? If you enjoyed playing the first game, would you pay $10 towards the development of a sequel? If you're allowed to share the game with any of your friends, then this increases the number of people who might be similarly willing. This also reduces the risk for game developers: they don't invest a lot of money in developing a game and then find no one buys it, they pitch the game to people who will buy it and then get the money in advance if they will.
You seem to be missing the reason why most software is written in the first place. It's not done because someone wants to make money, it's done because someone wants to use the resulting code. This accounts for 100% of the open source code I've worked on. Some projects I've started because no one else provided the tools I wanted. Some projects other people started and I've contributed to because it's easier than rewriting everything.
Clang is a good example: it was started because Apple wanted a modular [Objective-]C[++] front end that could be used in a compiler, in refactoring tools, for syntax highlighting, and so on. My first contribution was to support the GNU Objective-C ABI - something of no use to Apple, but a great deal of use to me. I didn't get paid for this directly, but having a decent compiler for Objective-C stuff on Linux/*BSD has helped me get paid for other stuff. I've since done paid work on clang for other companies that needed other features implemented, or other systems supported.
Clang wasn't started in the hope that its authors would be able to get people to pay, it was started because its authors' employer needed it. It was open sourced because that helped reduce the cost of development for everyone involved. Apple probably could have kept it proprietary and developed in house, but then companies like Google and ARM, and individuals like myself, wouldn't have contributed anything, so their costs would have been higher.
The people who do the real work don't.
No, the point of free software (per FOSS definition of "free") is that you're free to obtain and redistribute the source code. That's what makes the traditional sales model of commercial software inapplicable here.
Here's how it works under the GPL: FAQ - Does the GPL allow me to sell copies of the program for money? [gnu.org] Most of the info is behind the "right to sell copies" link. tl;dr: you can sell the binary for whatever price you want, but (1) you have to also provide the source at no additional cost (except reasonable shipping fees if you send physical media) and (2) the user can turn right around and sell the software for whatever price they want. AFAIK this is exactly what happens with Red Hat Enterprise Linux v
That was precisely my point - you can't base your business model on selling copies, when users can copy and resell one for a lower price as soon as they get it. You have to look elsewhere for profits.
more importantly, non profits doesn't mean that the organzizaion doesn't make profits... non-profit is simply a tax designation that says "profits aren't our first motivation", and in exchange get slightly different tax considerations under the law, especially in regards to 'gifted contributions'. Every organization must make at least as much as it spends, or it dies. whats leftover from year to year is the profit.
Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work. -- John G. Pollard

Forest officials plan to round up cattle that have been roaming freely for years in the Gila Wilderness in southwestern New Mexico.
The Wilderness Ranger District announced its impoundment order this week. It stems from reports of cattle roaming along the Gila River near Turkey Creek, Johnson Canyon and Miller Springs.
Forest officials say the cattle are leftover from a 2006 impoundment effort.
District Ranger Ray Torres says the roundup will help with grazing management. He says stray livestock can often be found roaming in sensitive riparian areas or places occupied by threatened or endangered species.
Once the livestock is gathered, the forest will work with state livestock inspectors to identify the owner, if possible.
If an owner cannot be identified, unclaimed animals are typically turned over to the state Livestock Board for disposal.

I had my surgery on June 4 and I'm still on restriction. I had a bone graft done on my jaw again but the infection in the bone was so bad that it had spread to my throat and tongue. So the surgeon had to cut away part of my tongue underneath and I was on strong antibiotics and have just finished them. I haven't been allowed to eat hot or hard foods, can't work out, can't lift or bend (that one is difficult b/c I just do it automatically b/c I've lived alone for so long). I'll need another surgery in 4-6 months and hopefully that will be it for a loooong time. The side benefit is that I've lost weight and can get into pants that I had practically given up on. The antibiotic took most of my appetite away and after being told all the diet restrictions, I'd just as soon not eat anyhow. I have to gag down Ensure w/my vitamins daily so I consider that a meal. When I'm off restriction, I'm going to eat a whole bag of peanuts. LOL The dr. told me to stock up on popsicles, eat lots of room temp. vegetable soup and oatmeal. I used to LOVE oatmeal but it's going to be a long time before I eat it again. As for the veg. soup, I don't like luke warm anything, so I passed on that.
Thanx for thinking of me. It's nice to be missed. I check in occasionally and I'm on Facebook to keep up w/my nieces and nephews but that's about it. I hope all is well w/you and your furkids. My Fur Posse is doing fine, thankfully. I had several home improvement projects I wanted to get done but my ins. co. considers my surgery to be elective (yeah, who needs a jaw anyhow) so I had to pay cash for it. That hurt more than the surgery did so I've put the home improvement projects on hold. "The Boy" and I have been saving for a trip to Italy, so we may have to move that up for another year. Ah well, that's the least of my troubles. I just want good health!
So take care, everyone, and I'll be back soon.

FLUSHING, NY (Nov. 10) -- 2011 ITA National Women's Co-Rookie of the Year Robin Anderson from UCLA and 2011 ITA National Men's Player to Watch Sebastian Fanselow of Pepperdine added to their college honors Saturday when they were named the 2012 USTA/ITA Sportsmanship Award winners following their respective semifinal matches at the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships, hosted by Columbia University at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Anderson, a sophomore for the Bruins, has had a tremendous week in Flushing, winning all of her singles matches in straight sets en route to reaching the women's singles final. She also performed well at this national championship a year ago, losing in the consolation singles championship match in a third-set tiebreak. From nearby Matawan, NJ, Anderson is one of the most liked players in college tennis.
"It is an honor to receive the Sportsmanship Award," Anderson said. "It is great to be given this award, especially here where I used to train. I have felt the support from everyone all week, and it's great to know that everyone thought I showed good sportsmanship."
Fanselow, a senior for the Waves, has lived up to his National Player to Watch honors so far this season by reaching the title match of the men's singles draw this week. He has defeated two seeded players on his way to the finals, taking out No. 8 seed KU Singh of Georgia in the opening round before surviving a three-set thriller against top seed Alex Domijan from Virginia in the semifinals. Despite facing a number of tension-filled moments this week, Fanselow never lost his composure.
"I have never won a sportsmanship award before, so it feels great to be given this award. I try to be as fair as possible on the court, so maybe this is a reward for that."
Anderson and Fanselow were selected by a panel of coaches, officials and tournament committee members. Both will be in action on Sunday as they try to take home more hardware from the 2012 USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships.

BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton men's basketball team failed to hold on to its late lead as the Beavers fell to rival Defiance College, 71-68, on January 21, 2009. The heartbreaking loss dropped the Beavers' record to 10-7 overall, and an even 4-4 in conference play. Defiance improved to 11-6 and 6-2 in the HCAC.
The Yellow Jackets' senior post Anthony Pettaway, who has had monster games against the Beavers during his four years at Defiance, opened the contest with a jumper. Bluffton did a good job on Pettaway for most of the night, holding him to 12 hard-earned points, three fewer than his season average of 15.
Bluffton's Colt Cunnigham (Powell/Worthington Christian) got the Beavers into the scoring column, hitting a jumper to tie the score at two with 18:34 left. Eric Stolly picked off a Bluffton pass and took the ball down the floor for a three-pointer, pushing the Yellow Jackets' advantage to 10-4.
Just when it looked like Defiance was starting to pull away, Josh Eichar (North Baltimore) hit a three, thanks to an assist from Cunningham, which cut the deficit to 12-10. At the 13:53 mark, freshman Brent Farley (Lima/Shawnee) bucketed his first deuce of the night off the bench, and it also gave the Beavers their first lead of the contest, 14-12.
The game continued to go back and forth, but Defiance managed to open up a five-point lead, 21-16, following a Heath Armstrong three-pointer. Senior Josiah Stober (Spencerville) gave Bluffton a two-point lead (25-23) with 7:31 left in the first half. Defiance's Josh Stuckey answered for the visitors, tying the game for the eighth time at 27 with two freebies. Both teams capitalized on free throw opportunities as Defiance went 14-of-18 from the line, and the Beavers hit an impressive 14-of-15.
The Beavers again faced a five-point deficit with 3:39 before halftime, but the home team rallied to take a one-point lead into the locker room. Brent Farley started the run with a layup, and it continued when Nick Wilson (Continental) converted a layup from Justin Rufenacht (Wauseon/Pettisville). The half was capped by a Nate Heckelman (Norwalk) layup with 29 seconds left, giving Bluffton a 35-34 lead.
To start the second half, Bluffton was the team that looked poised to pull away. Aaron Taylor (Antwerp) hit a layup for two of his team-high 15 points, giving the Beavers a 41-37 lead. Taylor followed that possession with a hoop and harm for the 44-37 lead with 16:12 left in the contest.
With just over 12 minutes left in the game, the Beavers' lead ballooned to eight (52-44) as Brent Farley got to the rack. Bluffton's lead was 10 with just over seven minutes left when Aaron Taylor hit a deep three as the 35-second clock expired.
By the 4:50 mark, however, Bluffton's lead had almost disappeared to just two points (64-62) following a Mike Floyd three-pointer. With 1:57 to play Colt Cunningham stepped to the line and hit two free throws, putting Bluffton up 68-64. Those were the final points Bluffton was able to muster as Defiance ended the contest on a 7-0 run for the 71-68 victory.
Bluffton was down by a point with 9.6 ticks remaining when the Jackets got a hand on the home team's inbounds pass and Nick Sales went coast-to-coast for a game-clinching layup. Taylor's three at the buzzer bounded out of the rim and the Jackets improved to 6-2 in the HCAC, keeping pace with Transy, Franklin and Anderson, who all won on Wednesday night.
Bluffton had two players score in double figures, as Aaron Taylor led the home team with 15 and fellow senior Josiah Stober scored 11. The Beavers worked the ball around well, finishing with assists on 16 of their 25 field goals. Colt Cunningham paced the home team with four dimes and Eichar tallied three assists.
Defiance was led in scoring by guard Mike Floyd who torched the nets for 24 points on 9-of-13 shooting from the field. Bluffton executed its defensive game-plan to near perfection, limiting Floyd, who averages nearly eight assists per contest, to just two dimes, but he was able to get to the rim and make the Beavers pay for not helping on him.
The Beavers won the turnover game with just 12 miscues compared to Defiance's 17, but Bluffton had two costly turnovers in the last 19 seconds of the game that led to four points for the Yellow Jackets. Defiance dominated on the boards, collecting 30 rebounds to just 17 for Bluffton.
The Beavers will next be in action at home on January 24 when they host HCAC foe Rose-Hulman on Hall of Fame Day. The tip is scheduled for 3 p.m. following the women's contest with the Engineers.

Ohio Governor John Kasich has signed two bills that make election law changes in state.
One bill improves access to the polls for disabled voters. The other bill restricts the time groups have to collect extra signatures needed to ensure their ballot issues get before voters. Under the proposal, groups couldn't gather additional signatures until the secretary of state notifies them whether their initial petitions have fallen short. Current law already allows groups 10 days to file any added signatures once they get notification. But campaigns typically continue to collect signatures after they submit their initial petitions. Supporters want groups to have a uniform number of days. Opponents say the bill erodes referendum and initiative rights.

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum, and hoping someone might be able to shed some light on a difficult problem I'm having.
What I am trying to do is possible. I have created an EAD (an XML schema) file that connects to an XSL stylesheet, yet it loads only with Firefox, and no other browser (that i've tried). A great example of what I am trying to accomplish--an EAD/XML file connecting to a XLS stylesheet that works across multiple browsers--is: http://www.mnhs.org/library/findaids/sv000039.xml.
My XSL and XML code are valid (confirmed by Altova's XMLSpy software), and I would prefer not to have to convert the XML/XSL into an HTML file.
I am attempting to do this for my master's thesis, so any help would be greatly appreciated. My EAD/XML file, which connects to the XLS stylesheet can be found here.
Thanks so much (in advance),
I can view the page you linked to (http://ryanbuckley.ca/findingaid/chusseau-flaviens.xml) in both FF and IE.
Which version of IE does it not display in? Do you get an error message?

Now You Can Carry Your Glock
Most people are familiar with the phrase "Glock Perfection". It's on Glock's brochures, and mimmicked by Glock owners everywhere, whose numbers are legion.

That said, if there's one feature ... Read More »

I would recommend
Nektar - especially 'Sounds like This' and 'A Tab in the Ocean'
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - 'Brain Salad Surgery'
Yes - Fragile
Grateful Dead
The Doors
Of course floyd & crimson
and for something a little more electronic driven, but brilliant none the less...
Tangerine Dream
War of the Worlds
Black Mass Lucifer (by Mort Garson, its confusing as to wheather this project or album goes by both or either names)

Nice to see another mention of ELP - I think of the bigger prog bands they're always overlooked, perhaps because towards the end of the 70s they really failed to make anything as good as their first 4-5. I always find it odd that the "rock press" always choses to slam Yes/Rick Wakeman over ELP - as some of the things they did were far more rediculous than any Yes related things! In fact, as a whole the way the press treats prog rock makes me really angry!
Tangerine Dream is a good call too - I guess they do have elements that could fall under prog, especially on "Cyclone", but all their albums between 74-78 are worth checking out, though I like almost everything they've done. Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene and Equinoxe albums are worth checking out also if anyone's into this stuff.

Mahavishnu Orchestra could fall under the prog umbrella even though they're more of a jazz-rock fusion band. Don't let that scare you though, the first two albums ("The Inner Mounting Flame" and "Birds of Fire") are full of brain-melting guitar solos and some of the fastest most precise drumming you're likely to hear. I hate most fusion shit but these are REALLY killer!!!
I also always feel that psychedelic rock and prog have a really gray area where there's a lot of overlap... Soft Machine's first two are worth a mention, Franco Battiato's "Embryo" album is really great, Achim Reichel and Machines "Die Grune Reise" is FAR OUT, Incredible String Band's "The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter" is wonderful folk-prog... again, these are more on the psychedelic side of things and less "swords and sorcery" prog as the OP mentioned, but still great releases...

Mahavishnu Orchestra's first two are brilliant! Personally I think the drumming on Colosseum II is a bit better/madder, but it's good stuff! John McLaughlin's guitar playing is fucking amazing!

Don't worry, when prog is 'cool' again, the press of course will always have been 'in' on it and were always closet prog fans of course.
Anyway cheers for the recommendations guys. Did actually check out Shub Niggurath last night after seeing them on Dan's page and of course not easy listening but very good.
Also didn't know Prog Archives had a forum but I'll look into it. I have to admit considering prog snobbery, considering we have a knack for calling people 'posers' and what have you, I'll go into hysterics if there's such a thing as a wannabe prog fan, how the fuck would that work!?

Haha! That would be hilarious! I found myself on the "metal poseur scum" thread or whatever it was called on the FMP forum. I don't know why, I have long hair, have a beard, was wearing a God Macabre shirt, but there were about two pages of people laughing at me and calling me a poseur because I was smiling and had a beer in my hand! The prog equivalent of that must be hilarious!

For some reason I have an account on that forum I never use. I may have to join just so I can call everyone there wankers. I don't even have long hair and to be honest I don't dress metal 24/7 so what they'd make of me I don't know.
But anyway, having a laugh is absolutely for posers. We're grim and serious here. If you even have a smile in the corner of your mouth you should be banned. Best not let them know we listen to more than just black metal either...
Anyway lets not wonder off topic here! I have checked out a bit of Mahavishnu Orchestra and Colesseum II because of your myspace and seemed good. I would like to look into the Krautrock and Zeuhl movements. As good as the well known prog was it gets too much coverage.
Having said that, this video is fucking cool. There are other segments, but seeing how Rush and Hawkwind are perhaps my two favourite prog bands (for the time being at least), this video is great:
There are other segments too like Camel etc.

Zeuhl - I'm fairly sure Shub Niggurath fall under that catagory. A lot of people really rate Magma, I've heard bits and bobs of them that sound cool, but I have one of their albums and I can only really describe it at best as heavy going.
I remember that Bill Bailey program being on TV years and years ago! It was pretty cool!

Muscle-searing. Sweat-rousing. Mud-drenching.
Sound like fun? To a growing number of fitness die-hards, indeed it does. And for the coordinators and host communities of major-draw obstacle-racing events such as Tough Mudder, Mudderella and Hard Charge, it's big business.
McHenry County, which hosted Hard Charge Chicago in Richmond last summer, will play host again to Hard Charge this year, and will add the much bigger Tough Mudder and Mudderella events as well.
These and similar events nationwide drew an estimated 1.6 million participants in 2013, according to the Los Angeles Times. Other races include Warrior Dash, which will be held in Channahon this year, and the female-only Dirty Girl Mud Run, which will be at the Lake County Fairgrounds.
Hard Charge, Tough Mudder and Mudderella, combined, are expected to draw between 20,000 and 30,000 participants and spectators to McHenry County in May and July. Not all will book a hotel room, but a significant portion will. And even those who don't will spend, on average, $81 a day at local businesses, according to Visit McHenry County.
"It's definitely a great benefit for McHenry County to land these events," said Jaki Berggren, executive director of Visit McHenry County, formerly the McHenry County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"It brings in quite a few outside visitors who would not otherwise be here, and who will see that there's a viable visitor economy if they choose to return to McHenry County at a later date to enjoy other experiences," Berggren said.
Hard Charge had an estimated 2013 area economic impact of $56,700 during its activity Aug. 10 at the Richmond Hunt Club, according to Visit McHenry County data. The Tough Mudder and Mudderella races this summer should bring in about $1.8 million and could bring in more in the coming years.
Richmond Hunt Club has an exclusive contract with Tough Mudder to host the event for five years, said owner Richard Wonderlic. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but Wonderlic said it didn't guarantee the race would stay in Richmond. The news already has generated buzz throughout the area.
"It's the talk of the town," Wonderlic said. "I think the exposure McHenry County is going to get is fantastic."
After hosting Hard Charge in 2013, Wonderlic sought out a deal with Tough Mudder, which he called "the granddaddy of the industry."
Last year, Tough Mudder held its Chicago race in Seneca. The event is a good fit for Richmond Hunt Club, which offers hunting, paintball, fishing and other activities, Wonderlic said.
Although Richmond has been seen as a "pass-through" town on the way to Wisconsin, Wonderlic said he expects the race will introduce more people to outdoor adventures in the area.
"I hope they embrace it and crave it a bit more in their lives," he said.
This summer's Hard Charge Chicago is scheduled for July 19 at Richardson Adventure Farm in Spring Grove. Tough Mudder Chicago will be May 10-11 at the Richmond Hunt Club, and Mudderella, marketed to the female set, will be May 31 at the Richmond Hunt Club.
What's involved? Well, these are not your run-of-the-mill 5Ks. Both Hard Charge and Tough Mudder build challenging, miles-long courses (4 miles for Hard Charge and about 10 for Tough Mudder) that feature military-style obstacles.
Tough Mudder is billed as "probably the toughest event on the planet" and features an obstacle called Electroshock Therapy where participants run through a field of live wires. In another, called Electric Eel, participants crawl on their stomachs through mud under a tangle of live wires. Those who touch the wires "find out what it feels like to get slapped in the face by a jellyfish," according to Tough Mudder's website. Others include jumping into icy water and jumping over fire.
Hard Charge has both a Charge for Glory (competitive, timed and marshaled, as well as filmed for Comcast SportsNet Chicago) and a Charge for Fun, in which heats are not timed and participants may skip some obstacles, with the goal simply to finish and have fun.
"We had 700 to 800 participants last year," said Lindsay Babb, director of public relations and marketing for Hard Charge. "We really wanted to bring the event to the Chicago area because we have strong TV distribution on Comcast SportsNet Chicago.
"We looked a little bit north, and McHenry County was great," she continued. "We had formed some relationships with [Visit McHenry County] and decided that it would be a really great place."
This year's event will include a Hard Charge for kids, too, with a child-appropriate version of the obstacles, complete with a mud-crawl portion, of course.
"Those events are open to kids ages 5 and up," Babb said.
Berggren said McHenry County has the dual draw of featuring open spaces amenable to creating obstacle-race courses and being located about one hour from Rockford, Milwaukee and Chicago.
Carol Gottshall, media relations associate with Tough Mudder, said coordinators there are excited about this May's McHenry County debuts.
"The land at Richmond Hunting Club definitely drew our attention – the varied terrain, with rugged trails, creeks and ponds, will allow us to build a challenging course for our participants," Gottshall said. "We're excited about the 2014 event and look forward to beginning discussions around plans for 2015."
