Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Gabriel Gomez is proposing a lifetime ban on lobbying by former members of Congress and term limits for both senators and representatives.
In parts of a speech released by his campaign late Wednesday, Gomez doesn't say how many terms should be allowed, but said limits would phase out what he called "career politicians."
The comments are the first policy statements from Gomez, who is planning to kick off his campaign with a tour of the state Thursday. In the excerpts, Gomez describes himself as a "new kind of Republican."
"Obviously as a Republican I hold some conservative views," Gomez said. "But I'm an independent thinker, and I have no interest in going to Washington to engage in partisan trench warfare."
Gomez is one of five candidates — three Republicans and two Democrats — who say they've collected more than the 10,000 certified signatures needed to land a spot on the April 30 primary ballot. The Senate seat became vacant when Democrat John Kerry resigned to become U.S. Secretary of State.
The Cohasset businessman and former Navy SEAL joins Norfolk state Rep. Daniel Winslow in the GOP primary along with former U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan, who said Wednesday his volunteer signature effort was successful.
Two Democrats — U.S. Reps. Edward Markey and Stephen Lynch — are also facing off. The election is scheduled for June 25.
Sullivan had been the biggest question mark. Unlike Winslow and Gomez, the Abington resident had relied solely on volunteer signature gatherers. Winslow and Gomez had relied on a mix of volunteer and paid gatherers.
Wednesday was the deadline for dropping signatures off at local city and town clerks to be certified. The signatures must be collected later and delivered to Secretary of State William Galvin's office before a candidate's name can officially be added to the ballot.
Sullivan said he was excited to submit so many signatures after launching the drive just 12 days ago. He said the ability to gather so many signatures so quickly shows he has a groundswell of support.
Sullivan described himself as fiscally conservative and said Congress and the White House share the blame for the current fiscal stalemate.
"I think there's tremendous common ground if people would apply some common sense," he said, speaking to reporters after dropping off a batch of signatures Wednesday morning at Abington Town Hall.
Sullivan, who likely has the strongest name recognition among the three Republican candidates, said he does not see himself as the front-runner, adding that "it's been a long time since I've gone out and campaigned."
He acknowledged that as a Republican, he faces an uphill battle in a largely Democratic state. He said before making his decision to run, he spoke to former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, who encouraged him.
Sullivan, who served as Plymouth district attorney before being named U.S. attorney for Massachusetts in 2001, staked out conservative positions on a series of issues. He describes himself as "pro-life" on abortion, said gun bans "do not have the results you want them to have" and opposes gay marriage.
"I'm a traditionalist. I believe that marriage is really between a man and a woman," said Sullivan, who was also appointed acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in 2006, and did double-duty for two years, working that job at the same time he was U.S. Attorney.
Markey planned to thank volunteers who helped collect signatures for him with a live webcast to dozens of house parties across the state Wednesday evening.
Gomez's tour of the state Thursday includes stops in Quincy, Shrewsbury and West Springfield. He hasn't spoken to reporters since first announcing his intention to run more than two weeks ago.
In his prepared comments, Gomez said he "will endeavor to be a voice for bipartisanship, reasonableness and common sense."
In pushing for term limits, Gomez said lawmakers should have to "come back home and live under the laws they have created."
On Tuesday, Lynch won the backing of the Massachusetts Nurses Association, the largest union of registered nurses and health professionals in the state. Markey had previously won the endorsement of the Massachusetts Teachers Union, the largest union in the state.
The crowded primary field is a sharp contrast to last year's high profile Senate race pitting Brown, a Republican, against Democrat Elizabeth Warren.
Both ran unopposed in their primaries, but still managed to run the most expensive campaign in Massachusetts history — with each raising and spending tens of millions of dollars.

Was this discussion of defending suicide bombers held in some clandestine basement setting? Actually, it was held publicly on the campus of Ohio State University, which hosted The Third Annual National Student Conference On Palestine Solidarity from November 7th to 9th. For three days, Islamist radicals gathered in Americas heartland to openly call for the destruction of Israel, the overthrow of the U.S. government and to take the side of the murderers in the War on Terrorism.
This meeting was originally set to take place at Rutgers University, but organizers moved it to OSU when Rutgers University had the good sense to cancel it. However, the cancellation only took place after Rutgers organizer Charlotte Kates publicly declared that Israeli children are "legitimate" targets of suicide bombers. Kates took part in the OSU meeting, where she was joined by many other radical activists advocating the destruction of Israel "by any means necessary."
Terrorism: Its a Family Affair
ONE OF THE CONFERENCES main organizers was Fayyad Sbaihat, a student at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, who heads the pro-Palestinian group Al Awda. (Al Awda means "the Return" in Arabic. This refers to Yasser Arafat's call for everyone who considers himself a Palestinian - all 4.5 million people to settle inside Israel's 1948 borders, flooding the Jewish state with Islamist elements.) According to Israeli security sources, Sbaihat and his entire family are active members of the terrorist organization, the Popular Front For the Liberation Of Palestine (PFLP). The PFLP was responsible for the murder of Israeli Tourism Minister Rahbaa'm Zevi in Jerusalem and has frequently engaged in terrorist attacks against innocent Israelis. Two of Sbaihat's brothers are active PFLP members in the West Bank.
Vietnam-Era Retreads
WHILE SOME PANEL GUESTS tried to obscure their family connections to death, others openly advocated murder at the conference. Vernon Bellecourt of the American Indian Movement (AIM), a group known for murdering two FBI agents in a 1975 shooting. Bellecourt, who introduced himself as AIM's "foreign minister," explained his group's relationship with the Palestinian movement started when AIM was invited on an all-expense-paid trip to Libya by terrorist chief-of-state Mohammar Quaddafi. Bellecourt called for activists to overthrow the U.S. government and declared the presidential candidates of both major parties as "war criminals," calling for "a people's tribunal to carry out a (death) sentence." Then he wrapped himself in an Arafat-style keffiyah as a gesture of his solidarity with the PLO. "I, too, am a Palestinian," he said.
Vernon Bellecourt later bemoaned the killing of Hussein's sons as "an assassination" carried out by the U.S. government. "Imagine," he bellowed, "if someone had killed President Bush's daughters in a similar way!" Hussein's sons were killed in a firefight in which American soldiers were wounded. And, of course, Bush's daughters did not torture and murder thousands of their own countrymen every single month. This not-so-subtle distinction eluded the rapt audience, which nodded and voiced its approval.
AIM's leftist fellow travelers on the Libyan visit, Kwame Ture's (better known as the late Stokely Carmichael's) All Afrika People's Revolutionary Party, were also at the OSU conference advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government. The APRP also seemed to take pride in being one of the earliest radical movements to seek the destruction of the State of Israel.
Al-Qaeda Freedom Fighters?
SPEAKERS ALSO HEAPED PRAISE upon al-Qaeda. Fatima Ayub, a female graduate student at Johns Hopkins University, spoke glowingly of "freedom fighters" in "Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq and Chechnya." These are all locations where al-Qaeda has been active, two of them areas where Americans are being killed. Most people would question if the Taliban and al-Qaeda are freedom fighters and ask about the 3,000 murdered on 9/11, but this crowd did not give it a thought. Trying desperately to maintain the multicultural flavor of the day, Ayub pledged to fight for the "freedom of the Palestinian people and social justice with the Iraqis, Native and Black Americans."
Hatefest, Day Two
THE SECOND DAY began with high security. Anyone wishing to attend the "General Meeting and Reports Back & Assessment," at which chapters of the Palestine Solidarity Movement on 80 U.S. campuses reported their progress in fostering hatred of Jews and Israel, had to go through a metal detector. The high security measure was not designed to protect the well-being of the participants but to protect their strategy. The detectors were to make sure no one had a camera or tape recorder, since reports of the previous conferences at Berkeley and the University of Michigan leaked out. I waited in line a half-hour behind a pin-emblazoned backpack with multiple buttons calling for the release of cop-killer Mumia abu-Jamal before finally getting in.
Students from all over the country took turns at microphones describing their successes (and, thankfully, failures) against the "Zionists" (Jews) on their campuses and what they had done that year to destroy Israel. Fortunately, many said they were not very successful - yet. But the West Virginia chapter boasted of having "infiltrated" the student government there and gotten divestment and anti-Israel amendments through. Wayne State in Michigan, the area in the U.S. with the largest Palestinian population, and Sbaihat's Al Awda at University of Wisconsin were the most successful in pushing their universities to divest and pass resolutions condemning Israel.
Jews for Genocide
SEVERAL PROMINENTLY FEATURED LEFTISTS JEWS joined the Islamists and aging hippies, forming a vital element of this pro-terror coalition. These leftist Jews lent invaluable cover to Palestinian radicals, casting their campaign of genocide as a "human rights" movement and deflecting the anti-Semitism so openly espoused at earlier conferences. Some of these, like Adam Shapiro of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), told me they no longer consider themselves Jews but have no problem representing themselves as such to aid the Palestinian cause. Still others said they considered themselves "Israelis" but not Jews. Henry Hershkovitz, himself a "Jew For Palestine," lamented the arrest of Sami al-Arian as a "setback" for the movement. Al-Arian is the North American leader of the terrorist organization Palestine Islamic Jihad, which has murdered more than 100 people, including some Americans.
Abe Greenhouse of Rutgers University boasted of how he had smashed a pie in the face of Natan Sharansky, Israeli Minister for Diaspora Affairs. (Greenhouse famously whined, "But I'm a Jew, too," as he was arrested that day.) The audience and Abe chuckled about Greenhouse's "Biotic Brigade" and its physical assault upon a Jewish leader who stood up against Soviet repression and emerged as an international hero.
Adam Shapiro of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) took to the stage to announce that he would unveil the plans radicals would follow in the coming year to help dismantle Israel.
But the foremost "token Jew" at this event was Ora Wise, a rabbi's daughter and Hebrew teacher at Kol Chayeinu Synagogue in Brooklyn, New York. Ora chanted, "Zionism is racism," and called for the end of Israel, an "apartheid" state. Ora spreads Palestinian propaganda around the U.S., providing an invaluable Jewish spokeswoman to the enemies of the Jewish state. (1)
Wise points to her own ethnicity as proof that there is no anti-Semitism in the movement. She did her job well at the conference, calling upon the "mainstream Jewish community to reject unfounded accusations of anti-Semitism against the Palestine Solidarity Movement." However, she admitted to a colleague of mine she is aware that the Palestinians ultimate goal is to wipe out Israeli Jews and appropriate Jewish homes to themselves.
All of these Jewish speakers illustrated the success of the Palestinian movements most recent agenda: enroll Jewish speakers on behalf of Islamist terror. The conference itself offered one session on how to infiltrate Jewish campus groups and use mainstream Jewish spokespeople especially those who marched against the Vietnam War - in the current campaign against Israel. Speakers even boasted that the Birthright Program, funded by Jewish philanthropists and designed to bring young Jews to visit Israel, was being manipulated to subsidize ISM volunteers, who interfere with anti-terror efforts of the Israeli army.
Squashing CATERPILLAR
Another "Action Workshop" dealt with "Building the Caterpillar Campaign: Developing A National Structure." This workshop discussed the most effective ways to resurrect Vietnam-era tactics to financially harass Dow Chemical, applying them to the Caterpillar Corporation. Why Caterpillar? Because Israel uses Caterpillar equipment to bulldoze the homes of suicide bombers and Caterpillar tractors to build its security fence. Attendees were advised how to dress as lobbyists to infiltrate Caterpillar's offices, how to stage mock performances of Rachel Corrie's accidental death, and how to pour fake blood all over the sidewalk to make an impression. The goal here was to damage Caterpillar's business and hence, further weaken Israel's ability to protect its people from terrorism.
As the conference drew to a close, Ora Wise read the principles that the inner circle had privately drawn up for the next conference. The P.C. document demanded adherence to democratic procedures, even allowing a "transgendered" person on every organizing board. Of course, the Palestinians these people support do not share any of their high-sounding democratic principles and, given the chance, would liquidate transgendered people. This conference hastened the day they can do precisely that, scripting the radical Islamists' strategy for an American campaign to weaken Israel through divestment campaigns and campus protests until calls for the "Right of Return" can finish her off. Then, just as Vietnam fell to Communism after America's withdrawal, democratic Israel can fall to Islamofascism the same way. In this way, Americans - even Jewish/Americans - can be fooled into thinking they are supporting "human rights" and "peace." Meanwhile, the suicide bombers and terrorists can ply their trade with the knee-jerk support of those Americans they would most like to kill: pampered college students and Jews from all walks of life.

X-ray imaging is used as a diagnostic tool to aid in the treatment of many different conditions. An x-ray is produced using a small amount of radiation. The image produced is called a radiograph. Your doctor will order an x-ray examination, which depending on the exam requested, may need to be scheduled by your physician.
Before Your Exam
Some exams may require special dietary preparations, which will be explained when they are scheduled. Please remember to carefully follow any special instructions you may have received.
During Your Exam
The technologist will explain the exam to you. If you know, or believe, you are pregnant, you will need to inform the technologist before the exam. In order to achieve the best possible examination results, the technologist will be giving you specific instructions regarding breathing and body positioning.
After Your Exam
The radiographs will be viewed by a radiologist (a physician who specializes in diagnostic imaging). The results of your exam will be sent to your referring physician.

Talk:Multilingual files uploader
Ideas from Alec:
Some ideas for multilingual file uploads: 1 - Use a modal for all multilingual file uploads. Have each possible language appear as a tab within the modal.
2 - Use a minimalist upload tool (less real estate) instead of plupload and use the same popover approach as we use for other multilingual inputs.
3 - Use the batch upload capabilities of plupload and then add a subsequent interface to associate images with languages.
Comments from Juan:
1 - This will get clunky, I think. 2 - This would be my preferred approach, but we need to identify a good widget. I suggest this is a good time to scour the internet for alternatives to plupload. 3 - This one is likely significantly more complicated and problematic from the implementation point of view.
Comments from Jason:
3 - How would that work? If a user is uploading a directory full of files, they're going to need to edit each one either during that process or afterwards, in order to add metadata. In the former case, its not really batch. In the latter, we're allowing files to exist at least temporarily with no metadata assigned to them other than what we can glean during upload.
Discussions below consider option 2 only. --Beghelli (talk) 10:13, 5 July 2013 (PDT)
From Alec about the other file types widget mode:
We don't have a good pattern for the following common set of elements:
1 - File upload field/widget to replace existing file, or upload initial version if creating new content
2 - Link or preview to allow download of current version, if any
3 - Indication of data re: existing file (name, MIME type, size...)
4 - Delete action, for situations where the file upload is optional (e.g. issue covers)
The differences between image uploads and non-image uploads are... 5 - Image uploads need to present an "alt text" field
6 - Image uploads can contain image previews, potentially with a download link; other types just have a download link
There is enough overlap here that there's still a good case for a single widget to handle both. --Beghelli (talk) 09:57, 5 July 2013 (PDT)
Related to Alec's last comments:
1 - The replace action can be added to this widget. If user clicks on it, then it has just to upload a file, the other extra information about the file will remain (alternate text, for example). Initial file upload can be done by clicking into the upload action. I will create more images to show this.
2 - User can download the file by clicking on the filename (it's a link) or clicking on the image.
3 - This can be accessed clicking on the info action. We can present all the information related to the file inside an information modal.
4 - We already have a delete action in the proposal.
5 - That's already covered by the proposal.
6 - I am not sure if we need a download link for images. I think it will only add more noise. --Beghelli (talk) 10:13, 5 July 2013 (PDT)
Added propose to use grids with multilingual rows.

Now Accepting Applications for Fall 2019
About Us
MFA graduates for many years now have learned upon graduation that there are woefully few teaching jobs available in creative writing and that they are unequipped to compete for work outside academia. In order to cultivate careers as professional writers, they frequently find it necessary to master multiple genres. But writers who have deep interest in genres other than poetry and fiction find few options for study in most MFA programs.
Furthermore, research has shown that the imaginative/emotional and rational/logical functions of the brain are interrelated and that real cultivation of intellectual prowess focuses on neither exclusively. The old model of studying writing as exclusively a "creative" or "practical" endeavor is outmoded.
Therefore, we are proud to announce the establishment of the first MFA program in writing that offers the aspiring writer training in both creative and practical writing: food for the soul and food for the table.
Please browse the site for more information, and feel free to contact our MFA Coordinator, Anthony D'Aries, if you have further questions.

Focus on Power Quality Surge suppression system
The Combotrab system can handle the current associated with a direct or nearby lightning strike and provides clamping voltages under 900V — independent of surge current. The unit uses the company's Flashtrab Plus lightning arrester, which is tested to the 10×350mS waveform test standardized by IEC 61024. The suppressor also uses a TVSS component to address lightning events and switching type transients.
Phoenix Contact
Circle 301
Transient voltage surge suppressor
The Surge3 surge suppressor uses metal oxide varistor (MOV) and diode technologies to provide overvoltage protection of industrial electronics. The two surge suppression methods are interchangeable with a plug-in suppressor and common base mount. The system is color-coded for proper installation.
Cooper Bussmann
Circle 300
Line reactors
The SLR series of DIN-rail-mounted line reactors protects sensitive equipment from supply-line irregularities, including harmonic distortion, nuisance tripping, and line notching. The reactors provide protection for high-frequency drives or other 3-phase electronic systems plagued by capacitor or large load switching events. An inductive filter removes harmonics, which eliminates drive crosstalk and interference and keeps line voltages smooth through notching. Units are available in 2-hp to 20-hp ratings.
Circle 307
The R12000 XR UPS features modular architecture consisting of four 3kVA modules. Each module has its own battery and electronics unit. Installers can find all information for paralleling using the modules' output power wave form. The unit's batteries are pure lead-tin for a shelf life of 5 years to 7 years.
Circle 312
Panel surge protectors
The ZoneMaster series of hardwired surge protectors for panel applications can be configured with an internal or fused disconnect, noise filter, surge counter, and remote monitoring capabilities. The line also includes panel extension units, which can double as stand-alone units in a metal enclosure.
The Wiremold Co.

VAR compensator
The PureWave AVC (adaptive VAR compensator) uses power-electronic switching to provide variable amounts of reactive compensation on a cycle-by-cycle basis. It continuously monitors load conditions and matches its output to the load's requirement, providing real-time VAR compensation.
S&C Electric
Circle 308
Connectors and adapters
This company's new stainless steel down conductor standoffs and stainless steel down conductor angle adapters attach down conductors to round tower members and angle tower members, respectively. Both are designed for use in the telecommunications market. The small side of the cable clamp accommodates bare stranded conductors from 6 AWG to 2/0 AWG, and the large side accommodates 2/0 AWG to 4/0 AWG.
Harger Lightning & Grounding
Circle 302
Double-conversion UPS
The SitePro 3-phase UPS is available in models from 10kVA to 300kVA. For high-power redundant applications, it can be installed with as many as eight units in parallel, achieving power protection as high as 2.4MVA. The unit is compliant with international standards on voltage frequency independent (VFI) operation, and its modules operate in a double-conversion mode, providing true online operation.
GE Digital Energy
Circle 314
Surge protection device
The Smart Module surge protection device is designed for low-voltage applications and requires no hard wiring for installation. Once the unit experiences a surge, an indicator light will engage to inform technicians that the module needs to be replaced. No tools or test equipment are required for module replacement.
Circle 313
Rack-mountable UPS
The Smart-UPS line has been updated to include the 5kVA XL, a rack-mountable unit that offers 4,000W of power and scalable extended runtime. The unit is designed to protect power for business-critical equipment like servers and networking and telecom systems. The UPS allows for the addition of as many at 10 external battery packs for runtime of almost 3 hr at the full load capacity of 4,000W.
American Power Conversion
Circle 303
Hybrid suppression device
The Surgelogic LC combines surge suppression and broadband noise filtration for protecting critical power in industrial, commercial, and OEM applications. The unit provides protection as high as 40kA, and its sine wave tracking and filter capabilities provide as much as 75dB of noise filtration. It uses a thermal fuse to protect against extreme surge currents and prevent thermal runway conditions.

That creaking sound
The G-8 meeting in the Umbrian hills of Italy served less to inspire unity, and more as a historical turning point, marking the passage of a tired institution.
The G-8 or "Gee-Otto" as the Italians say is misleading by both description and substance. For one, the members are no longer the leading industrialized nations, with China now the second largest economy in the world. Number two, the G-8 does not and cannot live life in isolation. In fact, 16 leaders were invited, with China's President Hu Jintao needing to duck out early to attend to protests back home.
There was little agreement from the core G-8 on the next steps to combat the worst downturn in six decades. Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel called for an exit strategy from the deficit spending and pump priming to inflate the global economy.
A global climate change commitment remains challenging -– despite verbal commitments -- as the developing countries focus instead on job and wealth creation. This should not be at the expense of the environment. As mobile phone technology helped developing countries leap-frog after years of underinvestment in that sector, so too can rapidly evolving green technologies. Environmental policy is a prime example of why the G-20 is a more modern body and why the door should be shut on the creaking G-8.
We will get a better idea if the G-20 can stand on its own in September when leaders gather in the old steel town, now modern research and development hub, of Pittsburgh. One cannot miss U.S. President Barack Obama's motivations here. Observers can almost hear him saying "You too can modernize with the times as did the old rust belt of America."
While this summit was short on real solutions, there was a non-binding consensus on what is a quickly evolving fair price for a barrel of oil. The range of $70-80 was floated at the meeting and a spokesman for Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev confirmed this raised few objections. Like most G-8 efforts, enforcement and follow through may be difficult, but the Goldilocks scenario –- of a price that is not too hot nor too cold –- is gathering momentum.
At the recent European Union-OPEC Meeting in Vienna, a similar consensus emerged from the closed door sessions. When oil prices slid from a peak of $147 a year ago down to $35 in December, OPEC members decided to shelve 35 of 150 projects on their books. What we have not heard since this recovery to $60 plus is whether more and more of them will come back on-line.
Middle East in Italy
Summit host Silvio Berlusconi, under fire at home for what may have happened at his private parties, wanted to use this meeting as a means to shore up poll ratings. Rather quietly, the billionaire also extended invitations to help secure Italy's long-term energy supplies.
Leaders from Algeria, Egypt, Libya and Turkey attended this G-8 meeting. Three of the players are key natural gas exporters to Italy, the fourth, Turkey, is a key transit hub for both oil and natural gas.
A few interesting facts to be aware of: Algeria ranks fourth in natural gas exports today; a large share of that gas ends up in the Italian market. Not surprisingly perhaps, Italian contractors are playing a major role in Algeria's natural gas development with two of the first nine tenders going to Italian companies.
There is a similar storyline playing out in Libya, where it is the largest holder of proven oil reserves in Africa, estimated at 41 billion barrels. Libya plans to expand oil production from 1.8 million barrels a day to three million in less than five years. It too is starting to ramp up natural gas production.
Prime Minister Berlusconi had a two-pronged strategy when he visited Libya last summer. He apologized for Italy's 30-year colonial rule and committed to a $5 billion compensation package spread out over two decades. The money will be used to modernize Libya's infrastructure and very likely cement Italy's relationship in this neighbourhood where energy is plentiful.
Berlusconi was not reserved in saying during President Qaddafi's recent visit to Rome last month that Italian companies should have priority or be "prima fila," the front row, for future contracts.
The G-8 may be short on concrete solutions for the global economy, but it may very well have served a purpose for Italy and by extension the European Union when it comes to energy.

Rant Mode Equals One: What if Sun is the next SCO?
But Momma! That's where the fun is...
--Manfred Mann Blinded by the Light
Please hold your breath until the end of the article.
Let me start this article as politely as I can by saying: If after reading this rant you're really hacked off, you can flame me at the above email address. (Know your rights, I always say.)
I say this because I'm going to suppose a few nasty things about Sun, and I know some of you Linux people are also mighty fond of Solaris. To a lot of heavy duty Unix administrator types, the first Unix is like a first love -- passions rise when people say negative things about your first love. Heck I still have a soft spot for HP-UX, but I'm in counseling for it these days.
Now, it's not like a lot of you wouldn't know, what with a title like "Rant Mode Equals One" and a subject line that points in inflammatory ways at one of the worlds largest hardware vendors in enterprise-class settings...
No, I don't mean Microsoft here -- note, I did use the words "hardware", and enterprise-class, not tinker-toy-class...
So let me describe for you a vendor. This vendor received a large cash-infusion from Microsoft recently. This vendor is feeling the heat from Linux in the sales area and has been recently using tactics that some would call "insanely stupid". Stupid, because this vendor has been attacking Linux head-on. This vendor did not listen to past ominous warnings from community members long ago that attacking Linux was akin to thrashing at the ocean with a sword. This vendor's revenue stream is falling, with direct accountability to the Linux phenomena.
And if you're paying attention, the "this vendor" noun could apply to either Sun or SCO -- the only differences are:
The difference in the magnitude of the cash should be rather telling here. For one thing, Sun's operational costs dwarf those of SCO, and for another, their revenue stream has been orders of magnitude higher.
But I wonder... I wonder if it's not another thing altogether. I wonder aloud, if Sun has been paid off -- not directly of course, that would be legally troublesome -- to play out a battle that has more of a marketing focus as compared to the legal battle that SCO wrought. SCO played this legal battle for the most part, in my humble opinion (oh no, I can't prove this mind you) to see what kind of marketing damage a good on-going lawsuit would have on Linux sales. And also for the most part, given this hypothetical *cough* supposition, I believe that the cash was wasted.
Again, in my humble opinion, the proof that it's not working is in the pudding: Linux sales are still happily rising, and mainly there's no more cash infusion forthcoming for SCO. The obvious fact is that good old fashioned Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt (FUD) tactics are simply having far less impact today than they used to.
This is due to quite a few factors, but the biggest one, this thing called the Internet, I would count among the most powerful. Right in second place with that would go the fact that most business decisions that give Linux a fair shake in the enterprise arena make the obvious choice to the GNU side of the equation. I'm talking from experience here, in case anyone is interested.
So, the SCO legal stuff didn't work. What to do? How about pick another embattled vendor, a much larger one, with much more at stake. Have that vendor try a different tactic. Have that vendor open source an operating system that is similar to Linux, only with a more destructive impact on cross-licensing pollution. Yes, Suns' choice of not to go with the GPL, In my not so humble opinion, is an attempt to lure code from Solaris into the Linux code-base. From there it's lawsuit time again.
Possibly from there it's Solaris switch time as well -- in someones' fantasy land, maybe, but in reality, something hair-brained like this will simply not work.
This isn't much different (long-term) from the SCO debacle, except for a couple of factors. There's a lot more cash at stake in this gamble, and the motivational aspects of copying Solaris code into Linux are much higher.
Before you laugh at what a crazy long-shot this is, bear in mind that shortly before the SCO lawsuit, they published a bunch of old SCO code right on their website, available for download -- and yanked it later. Bait, some people called it.
Linux could possibly use some of the things Solaris 10 has going for it, whereas copying things from the SCO code base would be likened to someone ripping off rusted junk car fenders to polish up a new sports car. Not that I think SCO was all that bad, mind you, but compared to Linux ..... let's just say it was all that bad, and move on.
I have similar opinions about Solaris -- except for one obvious, glaring fact. Solaris, unlike SCO's Unix, grew up on big iron, with big iron features. Mind you, at the user interface level, it's not Linux -- but a lot of Unix these days looks long in the tooth at the human interface level.
So that brings us back to square one: Is Sun the next SCO? Is this another company, paid off by the big boys in Redmond to play out yet another pointless FUD-oriented scam, to drag out in the marketplace and courtrooms of the future?
I have no idea. But you have to admit, it's an interesting thought.
"But what about Open Office?" You might say. I'd say that Sun is a huge corporation, and that if a dirty deal like this was made -- it was made at the top, and out of the realm of the mere mortals that might have open-source tendencies near the bottom. "But what about Java?" You might say. Yeah, what about Java? What about this problem child that Sun birthed, and that IBM and others helped raise into the enterprise-class adult it is today. Sun has yet to do the right thing with Java -- put a GPL license on the language portion of the code.
Those of you holding your breath can fall down now.

April 9, 2008
For only the third time since World War II, Wabash College has a new head coach of its track and field program.
Wabash President Patrick E. White has announced that Clyde J. Morgan will replace Robert H. Johnson, who has led the program since 1972.
Morgan has been the head track and field coach at Thiel College in Greenville, Pennsylvania since January 2004. He guided the Tomcats to the 2004 men's conference championship in the Presidents' Athletic Conference, earning the conference Coach of the Year Award in the process.
"I look forward to working with the young men of Wabash," Morgan said. "The level of commitment I saw while on campus — from the students to the faculty, staff, and administration — is something I noticed immediately. I am anxious to help the track and field team move to the next level with the backing I know I will have from everyone connected with the program. Wabash felt like home. I never felt like I was there to interview, I felt very welcomed."
"We are delighted Clyde has accepted our offer to become the next head track and field coach at Wabash," said Dean of Students Tom Bambrey, who participated in the search process. "Clyde's excellence in coaching allowed him to emerge from a very strong field of candidates. I believe he will interact in a very powerful and positive way with our students, faculty, and staff."
Morgan has coached five NCAA Division III All-Americans, including one national champion and one runner-up, in his time at Thiel. He has produced 96 Presidents' Athletic Conference champions, 156 All-PAC performers, and six PAC Most Valuable Athlete Award winners. He served as the assistant coach at Thiel from 2000 to 2004 before taking over the program. Morgan also served as the director of minority affairs, coordinating and planning on-campus programs to promote diversity.
"Without question Clyde Morgan is the right fit for this position," Wabash Athletics Director Vernon Mummert said. "Clyde has produced great results without an indoor or outdoor facility at Thiel. I am certain with the resources available at Wabash he can take our program to the next level."
Morgan graduated from Thiel in 2000 with a bachelor of arts degree in graphic design and elementary education. A member of the dean's list, he was also the track team captain in 1997, 1998, and 1999. Morgan helped the Tomcats to PAC championships in 1996 and 1998 as a 400- and 110-meter hurdler and 1600-meter relay runner. He was an NCAA provisional qualifier in the 400-meter hurdles in 1996. Morgan was also a member of the Thiel football team, earning All-America Honorable Mention honors as a kick returner in 1997 and 1999. A three-time captain of the Tomcats' team, he was a two-time Second Team All-PAC free safety.
Morgan will be only the third head track and field coach in the past 58 years at Wabash. He replaces Johnson, who is retiring from the College after 37 seasons as the head track and field coach and 32 seasons as cross country coach.
"I am extremely proud and pleased with the entire interview process," Johnson said. "Coach Morgan is clearly the best fit from among a group of over 50 applicants. I am confident with the same support I have received for these last 37 years he will do an excellent job."
Morgan will begin his duties on July 1.

The Center for Contemporary Art @ Bedminster (CCA)
We are a non-profit art center in central New Jersey. Our focus is on providing art education and hosting a wide array of high quality art exhibits. Over the past few months, we have embarked on a re-branding campaign and are looking to expand our reach.
We are a very creative organization and want our logo to reflect that!
Our patrons are mainly artists and art lovers. It is important that our logo conveys a great sense of visual style as our target audience has a great eye for art. We span both young and old and welcome all to enjoy our offerings.
We want a logo to reflect what we are - an art center that is contemporary and high quality but still approachable and friendly. Most of all, art is about tapping into your creativity and having fun, so our logo should be reflective of that frame of mind.
Here are some thoughts:
1. We would like our logo to be an artful representation of the letters "CCA" since that is what we go by.
2. Symbolically, we are the conduit for our patrons (artists) to bring art to life. It would be great if the logo could allow for some space in the letters for us to customize as needed (think how the google logo on their home page is really a template for their creativity - we would like ours to be able to function in a similar way, although we would prefer the letters to be more artful and exciting than the simple font used in the google logo).
3. This logo will be used everywhere for us and it needs to be able to work when printed very small (on envelopes and letterhead) and needs to work in black & white as well as color.
4. The best logo will be artful yet simple and bold.
5. If possible, please include a variation that works with "@ Bedminster" included.
The color options are open to you, but again, we would like to be able to use this logo in any color.

For the Shrimp
- 2 lbs. whole (or headless) large shrimp in the shell
- 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
- For the Mirepoix:
- 1 medium-sized green bell pepper diced
- 1 medium-sized onion sliced
- 1 medium-sized stalk celery sliced
- 3 medium-sized garlic cloves minced
For the Sauce
- 1 1/2 cups dark roux
- 2 bottles (or 24 ounces) dark beer
- 3 bay leaves
- 2 cups shrimp stock
- 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
- 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt
For Serving
- 4 to 5 cups steamed (or boiled) rice
- 3 or 4 green onions or scallions finely sliced
- 2 to 3 teaspoons Creole seasoning
Preparing the Shrimp: Set aside 4 to 6 whole unpeeled shrimp for final decoration. Shell the rest of the shrimp as follows: hold the body in one hand, grasp the head in the other and snap it back and off. Pinch the feet at the tail end and pull them off. Working from the underside of the shrimp, peel the shell from the body, removing the tail with it. To remove the intestinal vein (the black or greenish vein that may or may not be visible along the curve of the back), lay the shrimp on its side on the counter and with a sharp knife make a long slit along the back. With the tip of the knife, scrape out and discard the vein. Rinse the shrimp one at a time under cold tap water.
Preparing the Sauce Base: Mix together the ingredients for the mirepoix. Heat the roux in the saucepan, stirring continuously. Still stirring, and when very hot, slide in the mirepoix vegetables. Cook, stirring rather slowly, for 2 to 3 minutes over high heat, until the onions are translucent. Remove from heat, and vigorously beat in the beer, whisking until smooth. Return the pan to the burner and over moderately high heat add the bay leaves and whisk while gradually pouring in the stock. Continuing to whisk, add 1 tablespoon of the Creole seasoning, the hot pepper sauce, and the Worcestershire sauce; salt to taste. Simmer slowly for 20 minutes, and again correct seasoning.
Ahead-of-Time Note: The sauce may be made up to 3 days in advance; when cool, cover and refrigerate. Heat to bubbling before proceeding.
Adding the Shellfish: Sprinkle the shellfish with the remaining Creole seasoning; stir the shellfish, including those reserved for decoration, into the bubbling sauce, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink. Taste carefully for seasoning.
Serving Shrimp Étouffée: Spoon a portion of hot rice into the center of each warm dinner plate, and surround with a serving of shrimp and sauce. Place one of the reserved unpeeled shrimp decoratively on top of the rice and top it with a big spoonful of sauce. Scatter the green onions over both shrimp and rice, and sprinkle Creole seasoning over all, including a dusting at the edges of the plate.

Crazy Nun Tells High School Students Masturbation Turns You Gay
A nun had some surprising "revelations" for an assembly of students at Charlotte Catholic High School!
Sister Jane Dominic Laurel, a professor at Nashville, Tennessee's Aquinas College, asserted to students that masturbation and/or lack of a male father figure makes you gay.
Thankfully, the students aren't taking this nonsense lightly.
QNotes published a first-hand account of what transpired:
The letter and petition allege that Laurel said a variety of prejudiced comments about gay and lesbian people during her lecture on masculinity and femininity, including that masturbation or an absent father may make a boy more likely to be gay — two claims soundly rejected by all mainstream medical professionals and associations.
"Then she started talking about how gays [sic] people are gay because they have an absent father figure, and therefore they have not received the masculinity they should have from their father," reads one student's account of the message. "Also a guy could be gay if he masterbates [sic] and so he thinks he is being turned on by other guys. And then she gave an example of one of her gay 'friends' who said he used to go to a shed with his friends and watch porn and thats why he was gay. … Then she talked about the statistic where gay men have had either over 500 or 1000 sexual partners and after that I got up and went to the bathroom because I should not have had to been subject to that extremely offensive talk."
As mentioned above the students have drafted a petition in opposition to Laurel's commentary.
Here's an excerpt:
We the students of Charlotte Catholic High School would like to issue a formal complaint regarding Sr. Jane Dominic's speech given on on Friday, March 21st. We found some of ideas expressed to be both offensive and unnecessarily derogatory. We are incensed that you knew the content of this speech and allowed these ideas to be expressed in a school that should be preaching a message of love and acceptance.
The petition goes on to express the students' support of the gay community. As of this writing more than 3,500 people have added their signature.
It's interesting to see students being far more enlightened than their supposed "educators."
Thoughts, Instincters?
As a "professional" Roman Catholic she should know what the Roman Catholic Church teaches and she clearly does not. In a nutshell one can be gay just not do gay. From a pastoral standpoint, Pope Francis' response about gay people is "Who am I to judge?" She needs to be shut down. Because the Roman church did judge, I left it 16 years and now lead an Independent Catholic church that offers the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony to same gender couples, ordains women, and judges no one. Please don't judge Christianity by what this one woman says.
I'll begin by declaring that I'm not religious nor do I believe in a supreme being. I do find this type of disinformation, whatever your beliefs are, especiallly when given to school children, to be harmful and tantamount to abuse. It is incumbent.on all those who are dealing with vulnerable individuals, and in that I include minors, to ensure that whatever it is they are instructing is fact based and at least presents a balanced view so that those receiving instruction can make an informed choice of what to believe, especially where there is scientific evidence that contradicts previously held doctrine. The Catholic church acknowledge that the old testament stories are, in the main, allegories. Surely it is therefore impossible to square outmoded beliefs around male influence and masturbation with fact. In short, she was dumb to do this. Well done to the students though for standing up to such nonsense.
What would she know about sex? She's a nun for crying out loud! And I'm gay and I had a father figure in my life and I'm still gay! None of her claims were valid or politically correct. Bottom line she's a little crazy and really should look a little closer before making such harsh judgments about the LBGT community

This week the U.S. Supreme Court inserted itself into the heart of America's contentious and evolving national conversation about the nature of marriage. But instead of offering a thoughtful framework for the accommodation of the complex moral issues and the many legitimately engaged voices involved in that conversation, Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing on behalf of five justices, borrowed the phraseology of constitutional law to issue a polemical ultimatum against those who cherish how traditional marriage unites men and women for the benefit of children.
Kennedy's decision in Windsor v. United States, a challenge to the federal Defense of Marriage Act, was needless, thoughtless and damaging.
Needless because the court should not have even reached the merits of the so-called case before it; thoughtless because it failed to provide a recognizable rationale for its holding; and damaging because it has the effect of stifling meaningful dialogue about the nature and purpose of marriage.
Justice Antonin Scalia, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Clarence Thomas, argued powerfully in dissent that the Supreme Court lacked jurisdiction to offer a substantive opinion in the case because of how the litigants, instead of having a live controversy to resolve actually agreed with one another about the lower court outcomes. There was nothing to appeal. Nonetheless, a plausible enough case for jurisdiction obviously won the day and the majority of the court chose to reach the merits of the case in a novel approach to justiciability.
Kennedy's meandering opinion failed to provide a coherent rationale for its holding. Kennedy raised concerns about the states' special power to regulate marriage within our federal system, but didn't decide the case on the basis of federalism. He discussed issues of unequal classifications, but didn't ground the decision within recognizable standards of equal protection jurisprudence. He suggested that fundamental liberty interests are at risk but couldn't elucidate the history and tradition normally required to assert vigorous judicial protection of unarticulated liberties.
How the court ultimately grounded its decision, however, by castigating supporters of traditional marriage will stifle meaningful and needed ongoing dialogue. Kennedy's opinion asserts that when Congress passed DOMA in 1996, codifying for purposes of federal law the opposite-sex attributes of marriage that had been unquestioned in virtually all human societies, a majority of Congress and President Bill Clinton (who signed the act into law) acted with animus and malice that could only have been motivated by the intent to disparage, stigmatize and demean same-sex couples.
But, contrary to such reasoning, supporting traditional marriage is not the equivalent of disparaging, injuring, degrading, demeaning or humiliating homosexuals.
Kennedy's opinion can't contemplate that there are citizens and lawmakers who, on the basis of experience, social science, neuroscience, logic or theology sincerely believe that there is something positive and irreplaceable for children when biological parents are united into a nurturing household and who simultaneously believe it is important to protect the individual worth and dignity of their gay and lesbian friends.
Ours is a morally complex and pluralistic world, where some priests, whose theology only contemplates marriage as between a man and a woman, also seek to eliminate discrimination against gays and lesbians; where some ministers who feel enjoined by conscience to teach a scriptural standard of sexual rectitude also actively work, pray and counsel with homosexuals in their communities; and where some LGBT activists acknowledge that there is something unique and special about an intact biological family.
But Kennedy's opinion ignores this complexity and castigates any who might fret about redefining marriage as motivated by animus. This one-dimensional view uses the rhetorical power of the court to bully those who, for example, seek an honest and fact-based discussion about how the innovation of same-sex marriage might affect the well being of the increasingly unstable American family. And it has grave implications for the rights of conscience and the religious freedoms of those who believe that the traditional ideal of conjugal marriage is a transcendent truth.
Historically, it has been our republican institutions of representative government rather than our unelected courts that have done the best job of balancing, tempering and accommodating passionate competing interests into accommodative policies.
To that end, instead of judicial decrees, we desperately need more hands reaching across legislative aisles in a spirit of pragmatism and healing. States seeking to protect traditional marriage would do well to protect the dignity and civil rights of their gay and lesbian citizens. States seeking to extend the benefits of marriage to same-sex couples would do well to protect the religious freedoms of those whose conscience opposes a redefinition of marriage. And across the nation, all would benefit from increased fidelity to marital vows and loyalty to family.

I've been away from blogging for almost two months as I got injured
during my trip to Philippines.
I had a fall and sprained my foot. I managed to walk about for two weeks with a swollen foot (almost doubled). And had never known my foot was actually
fractured till I went to a clinic back in Tokyo.
That was a horrible, painful experiment. I got a cast on, and had to put men's size
Birkenstock sandal on the injured foot even at night parties.
Tasted such bitterness, the sweet happiness I'm feeling now is even more special
than before. The foot was healed and I can wear heels!!
Heels, oh my goodness, I've desperately longed for......!!
Also I'm so happy to be here, coming back to my blogging routine that
gives creative moment to my life.

Published July 18, 2013.
VANCOUVER -- It's all very hush-hush, with a secret plot allegedly involving a teenage girl, a young robot and a genius inventor in a mystical sci-fi world.
But what we do know is that the big-budgeted Disney flick called Tomorrowland will cast its spell on Vancouver come Aug. 8 when its star-studded cast — including George Clooney and Hugh Laurie — begin filming.
A leaked report on Film Thrasher about the script involves details about inter-dimensional travel, human-looking robots and a quest for revenge. Intriguing stuff, to be sure.
Not to mention, it will be directed by Brad Bird (Ratatouille, The Simpsons), who co-wrote the script with producer Damon Lindelof, one of the genius writers of Lost.
It's also rumoured that Britt Robertson, of new TV series Beneath the Dome, has joined the cast.
Vancouver Film Studios on Cornett Road is home base for crew, which will be stationed here in B.C. until Jan. 15.

In the meantime, star-spotters have been catching sightings of actors Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz around Metro Vancouver in recent days. They're here until Aug. 23 filming the Tim Burton feature film, Big Eyes.
The white film trucks will be stationed outside the Penthouse Nightclub at 1019 Seymour Street this Friday night from 11 p.m. until 4 a.m. Saturday shooting an exterior scene of a car pulling up outside the club. Filming of the interior, which was made into a '70s jazz club, was shot earlier this week.
Unlike the explosive Godzilla and Mission Impossible 4 scenes the downtown core has witnessed in the past, Friday night's shoot will not include any special effects, stunts or loud noises (to the relief of neighbours, no doubt).
Another curious project in the works includes the Sony movie Grace, starring a hot, young cast including Alexia Fast (Jack Reacher), Brett Dier (Ravenswood), Kurt Ostlund (Mr. Young), and model/actress Alexis Napp (who had a high-profile relationship with Ryan Phillippe).
My insider is tight-lipped on disclosing details about the plot, saying: "I can only say it's a horror film and something that has never been done before." (Cue Twilight Zone music).
Speaking of stepping into other dimension, Vancouverites wandering around Victory Square in their summer attire on Thursday may have had a chuckle seeing the festive Christmas lights at Bean Around the World Coffee, where they were filming a scene for TV pilot Cedar Cove (starring Andie MacDowell).
Shooting is also underway on a number of TV series, including Once Upon a Time, The Witches of East End, The Tomorrow People, Supernatural, Psych, Almost Human (JJ Abrams), and Arrow.
As for feature films, The Untitled Eadweard Muybridge Project, starring Michael Eklund, continues for a couple more weeks.
Many more projects in the works. For updates, follow Katya on Twitter.
