This daily newspaper comic strip, created by Patrick McDonnell in 1994, is centered on the day-to-day adventures of two companion animals: a dog named Earl and a cat named Mooch. Earl and Mooch interact with each other, their human guardians and a large cast of neighborhood animals.
Mutts explores the special bond between animals and their guardians, and the endearing friendship of Earl, the dog, and Mooch, the cat. It strikes a delicate balance between joy, fun and responsible social commentary. Mutts has been recognized for its distinctive style, heartwarming humor and compassionate advocacy for animal issues.
Charles M. Schulz, the creator of Peanuts, was a fan of this strip, saying that it's "one of best comic strips of all time."

A 17-year-old male was seriously wounded on Northumberland Avenue Thursday night. The teen, who was shot in the chest, is listed in serious condition at Erie County Medical Center Friday morning, police said.
Police responded to Northumberland just after 8 p.m. Thursday, officials said.
Much of the street, which runs between East Ferry and Scajaquada streets, was cordoned off by police crime scene tape.
Police are continuing to investigate, city spokesman Michael J. DeGeorge said Friday morning.

LINCOLN — An investigation by Vermont state game wardens has let to a 25-year-old Starksboro man being charged with taking a moose out of season.
Game Warden Robert Currier and Sgt. George Scribner responded on Oct. 5 to a report of a moose found dead on Guthrie Road in Lincoln. The wardens determined the moose had been illegally shot. Vermont's firearms moose hunting season was Oct. 20-25 this year.
Further investigation led authorities to cite Shaun E. Rublee of Starksboro in the killing of the moose.
Wardens and Vermont State Police executed a search warrant on Rublee's residence. Wardens seized eight bags of moose meat, moose antlers, several tools used to butcher the moose, a rifle, and several rounds of .32 caliber ammunition. Rublee was then charged with taking a moose in closed season.
Rublee is subject to fines and restitution totaling up to $2,500 and faces up to 60 days in jail or both. Rublee is also facing the loss of his privileges to hunt, fish and trap in Vermont for three years.
Fish and Game Department officials asked for help from members of the public, who are asked to report poaching violations to a game warden or anonymously through Operation Game Thief (OGT). Operation Game Thief, a nonprofit joint project of the Vermont Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs and the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department, pays rewards to citizens who turn in poachers. Callers do not have to reveal their names, testify in court or sign a deposition. Rewards are paid if an arrest is made or if a citation is issued.
The toll-free OGT phone is 1-800-75ALERT (1-800-752-5378). Reports also can be made on Fish & Wildlife's website, www.vtfishandwildlife.com.

text: edstar1960 379 Posted February 13, 2014 Same problem I had. Check out the input allocation on that patch. Tuner only works on input 1 - so if you have, say, a Variax connected but "inputs" are specified as Input 1= Guitar, Input 2=Variax, then - even if only the Variax is actually connected it won't show up or register in the tuner. It's totally frustrating if you regularly use both a guitar and a Variax with the HD500. Crazy arrangement! Correct. It is the way it is designed. The TUNER only works for whatever is connected to INPUT 1. I have never understood why it is like that and I have just worked around the limitation when I have encountered it. Why can't the tuner also be used for INPUT 2? Maybe there is some good technical reason why but I have not seen anything reported to explain it. Perhaps it has already been mentioned on Ideascale and if not, perhaps it should be suggested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Letter to the Editor in the Nov. 1, 2011, Tomahawk Leader:
I recently learned of a website, established by the governor's office, which purportedly lists the "savings" of the recently enacted state budget measures. To say the least, what I read there, was extremely disturbing.
One of the examples cited referred to a school district which, instead of providing tax relief for residents, found that these "savings" allowed them to upgrade their track and other athletic facilities. That's what these measures were forced upon their employees for? That has something to do with balancing the state budget?
That, unfortunately, wasn't the part that really disturbed me, though. Another example cited was where a district administrator was complaining that he/she said that it was all the school could do, to ensure that teachers didn't have more than 311 minutes of "face time" with the students – that, if the school wanted them to meet with students for 312 minutes, there would be a union grievance.
What I can't, personally, verify or debunk this statement, I can only imagine the employee/employer atmosphere that must exist, in this school. My ex-wife worked for the Tomahawk School District for over 30 years. If the school had had to pay her for all of the time she spent, working for the school, working for the students, planning, taking calls at home, and other school-related activities, it would have cost the school at least twice as much as it did. Most of the other teachers, counselors, administrators, and other school employees I met and dealt with were, to varying extents, in the same situation. It always struck me that, whenever I saw two teachers together socially, such as at a Christmas party, all that was talked about were the students – who was having what problems, what could be done to help a student, and so forth. Their minds were never "off the job."
What I see from the current state administration – this vilification of dedicated employees, in order to, somehow, rationalize and justify their own selfishness and, yes, downright greed, infuriates me.
And, it's not just teachers, as some people seem to think. This legislation affected all public employees.
Snow-plow drivers.
Security employees at detention centers, such as Lincoln Hills.
Not exactly glamorous, high-paying jobs, to being with. But, jobs we all rely upon, to perform needed, necessary work, to make our lives better.
Apparently, there are people, out there, who think it is a laudable goal, to turn Wisconsin into the Mississippi of the north. More than anything else, what I feel for these people is pity. I just can't imagine being so heartless and selfish. I've lived in Wisconsin all of my 61 years. Never, before, have I seen this state stoop so low.
Never, before, have I been so ashamed of the state that I've called home, for all of my life.

Difficult to find much in this governor's administration and partisan clique supporting and protecting him that is not selfish.

What do I mean when I refer to an over 100% machine?" An over 100% machine simply means a machine that pays back more than you put in. Fantastic, except for one thing: this is factored over a long period of time. It does not mean over 100% in every session." In fact, an over 100% machine isn't guaranteed to earn you a profit even over what most would consider a long period of time. And it's certainly not graphed by a steady upward curve. The only sure thing I've ever found in casino gambling is streakiness, and video poker results can be as streaky as it gets.
Also, and this is a very important concept to grasp: whether or not you achieve that over 100% return depends on the number of royals you hit. A royal contributes approximately 1.7%-2% (depending on the game) to the total payback percentage, and you only hit a royal about once every 35,000- 45,000 handssome 80 hours of play. So during those other 79 hours, even if you're playing a deuces wild machine with a 100.76% payback percentage and accruing .5% slot club cash back for your play, that 1.8% you lose for not hitting the royal pretty much wipes out your advantage during the periods in between the big jackpot. During these periods, you will most likely lose money (positive expectation is sweet, but it usually doesn't come easily). That's why it's necessary to analyze situations in terms of what mathematicians call expected value" or expected return," which assumes an infinite period of play.
Okay, with that groundwork laid, here are a couple of examples of positive expectation readily available in any number of casinos in Las Vegas at any given time.
Playing full-pay" deuces wild with computerperfect (optimal") strategy, the return percentage is 100.76%. Another way to say this is: for every $100
you put into a full-pay deuces wild video poker machine, you'll get back $100.76. It may look skinny," but that's a pretty good edge. Unfortunately, only a computer can play computer-perfect strategy. Humans make mistakes. They get tired of sitting and staring at a screen. They get a little fuzzy from the free drinks. The guys get distracted by short skirts on cocktail waitresses. I figure skilled human strategy on a full-pay deuces wild machine is more like 100.5%. In these examples, my numbers are based on that one-half-percentage-point advantage.
Playing 25 full-pay deuces, you're making $1.25 bets (five quarters). If you play slowly (say 320 hands per hour), you'll put about $400 through the deuces wild machine in 60 minutes. At our skilled human capability of 100.5%, over that hour your expected return is $402 (1.005 X $400 = $402). Thus, your expected return (or win) is $2 per hour. Don't quit your day job!
Example 2. This time you're playing $1 deuces wild with skilled human strategy, but you're playing fast (600 hands per hour). Betting $5 per hand, you're putting $3,000 through the machine per hour. Now your .5% positive expected return produces $3,015; over the long term you'll take in $15 per hour. That's like a $30,000-a-year paycheck.
A Closer Look at Negative Expectation
The flip side of positive expectation is, logically enough, negative expectation. An under 100% machine" is a machine that pays back less than you put in. Let's say you find a 25 deuces wild machine that has only one change in the pay table from the full- pay deuces schedule. A key changeit pays only four coins for four-of-a-kind instead of five. That's just one tiny alteration, but it gives the house a whopping 5.7% edge. This means that you're playing a game that returns only 94.3%. Now if you play a slow 320 hands per hour, you're losing $22.80 per hour (.057 X $400)and that's on a 25 machine.
Does the $2-per-hour profit from full-pay deuces look better to you now? And does the $22.80-per- hour loss convince you to read pay tables carefully? The main reason for all the new video poker variations is that casino know there are a lot of players with a little bit of video poker knowledge. Many people now know that full-pay jacks or better and deuces wild are good games, but they're not real careful about reading the pay tables to make sure that full-pay is what they're playing. Point them toward any jacks or better or deuces machine and they assume it pays liberally. The casinos, of course, make sure that they aren't: Play this game. It's almost like the other one that pays a lot more."
This occasionally backfires on a casino when it monkeys with a pay schedule of a well-known machine and the changes result in a larger payback percentage. If you become a true student of the game, you'll be able to spot these situations, know what changes to make in the strategy, and take advantage to make a lot of money on these machines, until the casino wises up and fixes the schedule or removes the machines entirely.
Jacks or Better
Jacks or better is the basic video poker game. One of the first to come out, it's considered something of a video poker standard. The full-pay version is known as 9/6 jacks or better, meaning the payback (with one coin in) for a full house is 9 coins and for a flush is 6 coins. Sad to say, there are not a lot of them outside of Las Vegas. Full-pay jacks or better has a return percentage of 99.5%. It's not a positive game; as we've seen, the casino has a .5% advantage. But because it's readily available in Vegas and a lot of other video poker variations are derived from it, I also consider it the standard. Often you get enough cash back from the slot club or a promotion to make jacks or better an over 100% game.The first chart is what the pay table for a 9/6 jacks or better video poker machine looks like. The second is also a jacks or better pay table, but with a crib- cal difference: it's an 8/5 machine. Note the difference in the payouts for full house and flush; this lowers the return to 97.3%.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm not going to provide you with the strategies, which are readily available in any number of books and computer software programs. See the Appendix for recommendations.

With the firing of Ned Yost yesterday with less than two weeks to go in the regular season, I thought it would be interesting to continue the errata from It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over: The Baseball Prospectus Pennant Race Book with this tidbit on managerial changes and pennant winners.
After dropping a 4-2 contest to Brooklyn at Ebbets Field on Tuesday August 2nd 1932, the Cubs under manager Rogers Hornsby were sitting at 53-46 in second place staring up at the Pirates who held a 5-game lead. As in his three previous managerial jobs Hornsby rubbed the powers that be the wrong way and William Veeck (father of the more famous Bill Veeck) ousted him and his $8,000 per month salary "for the best interests of the club" as the Cubs traveled on to Philadelphia. In his place he ensconced first baseman Charlie Grimm. After an off-day the team beat the Phillies 12-1 with the Pirates dropping a doubleheader to the Dodgers to shrink the lead to three and a half games. Under Grimm the Cubs went a sizzling 37-18 the rest of the way including a 14-game winning streak from the 20th of August through the 3rd of September. The Pirates meanwhile struggled to a 27-26 finish thereby propelling the Cubs to the pennant by a comfortable 4-game margin and coming in 132nd in our rankings.
The distinction of the 1932 season was that it was the first time in the modern era that a team changed managers in mid season and went on to win the pennant. Perhaps inspired by the move owner P.K. Wrigley in 1938, with his team in third place with a record of 45-36 5.5 games out, fired Grimm at the end of July and replaced him with catcher Gaby Hartnett. In no small part the hiring of Grimm as the needed sparkplug was based on the results of a study performed by a University of Illinois professor Wrigley hired to psychoanalyze the team. While team chemistry is often derided, perhaps the professor was onto something. Down the stretch the Cubs posted a 44-27 record including a 10-game winning streak from September 22-28. And of course famously it was manager Hartnett who homered in the bottom of the ninth on September 28th with darkness threatening to give the Cubs a 6-5 win over the Pirates and the league lead which they would not relinquish. That 1938 race ranked 70th in our list and so in the span of six years the Cubs had twice replaced their manager well into the season and both times it paid dividends.
Although these first two occurrences were wildly successful, it would take another 40 years and the advent of divisional play before the fateful summer of 1978 would see a similar occurrence. With the Yankees sitting at 52-43 in fourth place and behind the Red Sox by 10.5 games on the morning of July 25th, Bob Lemon would replace Billy Martin (Dick Howser managed one game in the interim) who resigned after disparaging comments referencing star Reggie Jackson and owner George Steinbrenner. Lemon is credited with calming the stormy sea and the team went on a 47-20 tear to tie for the AL East title and then…well, the rest as they say is history.
It wasn't long after, that three teams in the fateful summer of 1981 would make the post season after having made a managerial change.
But none of these were, statistically speaking anyway, the biggest turnarounds correlated with managerial changes by post season teams. That honor goes to the 1989 Toronto Blue Jays. After enduring a 12-24 (.333) start under Jimmy Williams, General Manager Pat Gillick hired Cito Gaston on May 31st as the interim manager. That interim title was quickly forgotten as the Jays reeled off a 77-49 (.611) record with the help of acquisitions Lee Mazzilli and Mookie Wilson from the Mets leading to a 20-9 August that saw them pull into a first place tie with the surprising Orioles as the month closed. After holding a slim lead most of the month of September, the Jays hooked up with the Orioles in a three game series at the new Sky Dome (opened in June and host to a new Major League attendance record of almost 3.4 million fans) on the season's final weekend with the Orioles one game back. The Blue Jays took the first two games of the series 2-1 and 4-3 to seal the deal and come in 129th in our rankings. The difference in winning percentage after the managerial change of .278 was the largest in history by a wide margin.
All of the races already mentioned and a few more where post season teams have made managerial moves are shown in the table below and sorted by change in winning percentage.

1981 New York AL Gene Michael 48 34 0.585 Bob Lemon 11 14 0.440 -0.145
A few notes:
From an analysts perspective the thing to note is that except in the cases of the first three teams listed in the table, all the rest were respectable to good teams who simply played better once their new managers were in place. The aggregate winning percentage of these thirteen before the change was .512 while after it skyrocketed to .616. In other words, these teams were already in a position to succeed.
Aside from these teams there have been 276 others since 1900 (not counting the 1961-62 Cubs whose famous "college of coaches" experiment failed) that have employed multiple managers (with the 1937 Tigers and 1968 White Sox employing five managers each). Obviously the vast majority of managerial changes engender no such turnaround. Even so, considering only the 52 teams who already had a .500 record or greater when their first manager was replaced, we find that roughly 20% (13 of the now 65) of the teams equipped to win, went on to post season play after changing managers. Most front offices would take those odds. Knowing when to pull the trigger, on the other hand, is the tough part.

Tips from Michael Robertson On Stealing Copyrighted Material
Robertson explains how "Sophisticated users have always been able to do this, but now for the first time it's point and click easy with a menu of choices next to the video that you can choose from." Gee, what a guy, helping make theft point and click easy.
It seems to me that Robertson is making a career (all be it a not very successful one) out of helping you steal copyrighted material and then letting you pay him to store your stolen goods for you.
I don't think Robertson knows how to find a legit way to make money. Heck, he can't even seem to find an illegitimate way.

Well, repackaging Debian and selling it for profit while calling Debian/Ubuntu users thieves for not buying into the IP protection racket from Microsoft and the RIAA is not how you win friends and influence people, that's why Linspire went down in flames.
I do kind of wish the RIAA would sue Robertson though, I really don't care who wins, it would be like a Jerry Springer slap fight, both sides are scum, but it is worth bringing the popcorn for.

What I thought was the most funny thing about Michael's Minute was the fact that he presented the download helper firefox add-on as something revolutionary and new.
I've been using that same plug-in forever.
Not that I'm promoting piracy or theft of intellectual property - but sometimes that clip from Pushing Daisies is just easier to snag from Youtube than ripping it from your DVDs.

Yep, I believe in respecting IP. Got me there.
You and Robertson must have a lot in common.
- March 10, 2009 at 10:01 PM
Maybe I should clarify?
I believe in the copyright system, I believe in patents, but not in the way they are implemented.
Both last way longer than they were originally intended to, and you can get a patent on crazy things that you never intend to do anything at all with.
It's a ploy by rich special interests to (1) Make sure that nothing they create will effectively ever be in the public domain. -and- (2) Make sure that patent trolling is widespread.
Tell me how much money I'd have if I went back to 1980 and took out patents on things that vaguely described digital music, video game consoles and accessories, and things like keyboards and mice. It's ridiculous, it's ludicrous, and I am not bound to support such activity.
Show me the law that says I have to pay Microsoft or Apple to use my computer, show me where it says that every American is obligated to buy music from iTunes or to support the RIAA.
These outfits are not innovators, they're 2nd rate knockoffs of talent and features invented by people who take the risks and may just end up competing with their own ideas.
Linspire's failure was, in my mind, a great victory for the GPL, which as you may know uses the copyright system against itself to ensure that one organization cannot horde a protected work. ;)

I am kind of torn over 'file sharing'.
Lets face it....it's been around for years. In the 'good old days' it was called "hey man let me borrow your record/tape to make a copy."
To me...if you are not into selling or sharing music....downloading music from the net is the same as recording a song from the radio onto a cassette.
I pay for music from Yahoo.com...but I don't have too much enmity for those who don't pay.
Sam Donaldson interviewed Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks....talking about how their record "Fly" had sold over 250 million copies.
Natalie responded with "I really wish you hadn't told me that....we don't even have a million dollars in the bank to show for that."
Lets face it...artists make their money touring. The people who make the majority of the money from music albums are the music companies themselves. When you download...you are not hurting the artist per se...you are hurting the music companies.....(but are they?)
Radiohead(?) I believe showed a pioneering idea of offering an album over the internet. If you wanted to pay something you COULD...but you didn't have to.
Quite a few people opted to pay something for the music...proving that not all the people downloading the album were scum.
- March 13, 2009 at 2:06 PM
- Kevin Carmony said...
I'm totally fine with what Radiohead did, because it was THEIR music to choose to do that.
I'm a little less fine, but still understand teenage kids "taping" music from each other (although I was taught this is steeling, and have taught my children the same thing). If it's not yours, it's not yours. Plane and simple.
However, what I'm NOT fine at all with, is someone like Robertson trying to PROFIT by educating people how to explicitly go against the wishes of a copyright holder. It's one thing when YOU record Saturday Night Live for your own personal use, but when the owners of SNL EXPRESSLY have let it be known they wish to protect their content (which is certainly their right), I believe that should be respected. It's basic ownership rights. Would Robertson like someone to break into his house and steel stuff from him? Apparently he wouldn't mind, since he seems pretty proud of himself for helping others steal copyrighted material.
When someone uploads copyrighted content, such as SNL, to YouTube, and then SNL has it taken down, it's not right for Robertson to say with pride, "Hey, I can help you rip off SNL, even thought they don't want you to have their content. Oh, AND I'll grow my business if you do!"
Some kid making a copy of Dark Side of the Moon is one thing (all be that dishonest and not respecting the copyright...you listening kids?), but it's quite another to blatantly encourage such behavior to make a profit. Just shows what kind of ethics Robertson has (or doesn't) have.

Interesting that you brought that up.
One of the reasons I refuse to use Windows is because I was looking at where they can put "broadcast flags" in the program you're trying to record and disable your shiny new Windows Media(R) PC from recording it for you, even though you were probably just at work or something and wanted to watch it one time and then trash it.
Back in the 80s, Sony was sued for selling people VCRs, because the big greedy networks were afraid you'd make an "unlicensed copy" and watch it later, and the networks lost.
Failing to find some reason why they could have this made illegal, they now resort to tampering with your property to make it disobey you.
Guess what? MythTV has never refused to let me record a TV show, therefore, Windows is beyond useless to me, and a piece of freeware is actually much more functional.
We're way past the days of bugs, and into the age of intentional defects, and I for one refuse that in its entirety. (Mac is the same deal with a prettier face)
I believe that when I pay for cable, I get to watch it on my terms, I believe when I buy a CD, I have the right to make a personal copy in whatever format I want. I haven't stolen anything from anyone, they just want to "Sell you the White Album again"

Actually, I believe you should only have the right that the owner grants to you. It's up to them to decide which rights to grant, and up to you to decide if you want to accept it or not.
If someone creates something, it's theirs. Period. They can choose to license it how they see fit. That's up to them, and your choice is to use it under their terms or not. They may choose to give it away, or they may choose to say you can listen to it one time and then you have to pay them one zillion dollars each time you listen to it after that. Your choice is to accept it or not, but not to ignore their license and do whatever YOU think SHOULD be fair.
I agree the labels only hurt themselves when they sell you a pair of handcuffs with their music, but I defend their right to do that if they want. Just because it hurts them, doesn't mean they don't have the right to be dumb about THEIR property.
I agree completely, however, that they absolutely have no right to mess with your hardware or software.
What I completely disagree with is people who, just because they think someone's license isn't "fair," can ignore it. That's not their choice. Their choice is to accept the license or NOT to accept it. They don't have the right to alter it, just because they think it's "not fair."
I may think Big Macs are over priced, so my choice is to not buy one. I do not have the right to just walk behind the counter, take one without paying, and say "That's my right, because you charge too much."

Correct. Robertson falsely accused several very good Linspire employees of embezzlement, simply because they were given reasonable severance payments which he, being the greedy man that he is, felt they didn't deserve. (Given that months later all the assets turned up missing, it's pretty obvious that Robertson just wanted to keep all the cash for himself.) It's also been nearly a year since he took all the assets from Linspire and left 100 shareholders without any information as to what happened.
I think people need to know what kind of unethical person they are dealing with, should they choose to ever get involved in any way with Robertson. So yes, I am using my freedom of speech to tell the story about Robertson. He's certainly free to go public with anything he wishes about me as well. Not sure what he'd say that could possibly justify trying to have former employees arrested or for giving shareholders the shaft.
I have a list of dozens of former employees, board members, VCs, investment bankers, lawyers, partners, shareholders, etc. that one can also contact and see what their opinion of Michael Robertson is.
Robertson is certainly free to use his Michael's Minute to encourage copyright infringement, and I'm certainly free to point out how it shows just how unethical doing so I feel it makes him.

It's perfectly legal to use Debian just the way it is, it neither encourages copyright or patent infringement or provides you any way of doing it for that matter.
If you want to buy Fluendo's codec pack, that's up to you, if you want to buy LinDVD and use it on Debian that' your choice too.
If you want to go to debian-multimedia.org (Which is not affiliated with Debian) and get the free codecs, you can do that.
A few things to consider:
The free codecs and libdvdcss may be illegal in the US (but no legal precedent has ever affirmed this.)
There are also many other sovereign nations that are not a state in the United States, and where US law means nothing, which currently are home to about 95% of the world population.
If I told you that something you did was against the law in Russia, do you care? (Or have any reason to)
Finally, using Debian doesn't make you a software pirate just because you can pirate software, if this is the case then everyone that uses MS Windows or Apple Mac OS X or any OS is a pirate just because nothing stops them from being able to do so.
One of the things that disgusted me about Freespire was that instead of truly giving users a choice, they just dumped the big pile o' crap on them and encouraged them to use it instead of seeking out non-proprietary solutions.
I can kind of understand Linspire being commercial because it never made any allusions to not be, and because many good distributions (Mandriva as an example) have a commercial version.
But when you blasted Debian users, I really took offense to that as (1) I am a Debian user. and (2) I don't have *any* of that crap, or any interest in obtaining it.
The worst I've done was use the BSD-licensed Fluendo MP3 decoder (which is both free software and legal) to help convert some MP3s to Ogg Vorbis.

Where did I EVER blast Debian users? That I'd like to see.
- March 15, 2009 at 2:52 AM
"Clearly these distributions must have demand for these proprietary technologies, because several tools exist which are promoted on their sites to provide illegal copies of software, drivers and codecs. They offer disclaimers about the laws in certain countries, yet they must know that many of their customers are using the information from within those countries. This portrays more of an attitude of how to 'get around' the law, rather than trying to live within it."
- http://xml.sys-con.com/node/401639
That's why I said 95% of the world population are not Americans and have precisely no reason to care about what's against the law here.
Just as you have no reason to care what's against the law in another country.
If I see that that stuff is easily available and take it, then I've broken US law, they didn't do anything wrong because I chose to take it.
And on the day I pay Microsoft anything, Satan will be ice skating to work, Windows 98 was the last money they saw from me. :)
Oh, and.... http://kevincarmony.blogspot.com/2007/10/review-ubuntu-710-wow-best-desktop.html
"...was called the Ubuntu Restricted Extras. This package contained dozens of files to add things like Flash, MP3 and Java to your system. Not sure how many laws I br0ke, but I did install this program..."
So the law is different when it's you?
Btw, Flash and Java are not illegal, merely non-free (as in freedom) and evince (GNOME) or Okular (KDE) can read PDFs, Konquerer even automatically turns into Okular when you click on a PDF link in a web page. (Reverse engineering for compatibility is legal in the US)
If Microsoft ever names any of those 235 patents it doesn't have and gets Linux shut down (Yeah, right!), it won't make me a Microsoft customer, it will make for one less computer user.
Do I feel that strongly against all things proprietary? No. I have the Nvidia driver and Flash 10, I also have some commercial video games I bought and play in Wine or with their native Linux installer.
Microsoft/Apple just particularly disgust me. :) The RIAA/MPAA slightly more...

I repeat...where did I EVER blast Debian users? You said I did, so there must be some quote where I said "Debian users yadda, yadda..." Or were you just putting words in my mouth?

Commenting on your use of copyright holders rights granted. The very unfortunate thing about copyrighted content is that once you release it to the public the rights aren't quite what they seem to want it to be. Copyright holders want complete control over the content, which is not exactly how it works. There are plenty of exceptions in copyright law for "fair use." Something copyright holders want to get rid of.
You may want to sell me one copy of your content. I, however, have the right to copy that content for my own personal use. In the old days of computing, it was perfectly reasonable to backup your media (floppy disks) of purchased, copyrighted (sometimes patented) material. As a matter of fact, it was considered insane to use the originals. You made a backup copy of the originals, and used the backups to do all the installing you needed to do. That way the originals stayed fresh. The more paranoid of us, would make multiple copies, one pure backup, and then a use version. My current use disks were always a copy of a copy. Only replacing the original copy with a copy of the original when it degraded, meaning fewer copies and uses of the originals.
Music and movie providers don't want us to make backups either. Even more important, they want to control where I view/listen to something. Maybe I want to watch a movie or listen to music on a portable device, or maybe on my home theatre. Maybe a new device will be released and I want to use it there. I should have the right to transfer the media on the content that I am licensed to use. They should control the media the content is on. I am only a stealing if I didn't purchase a license to the content, not the media it's developed distributed on.
If you've ever worked with the disabled, you'll also know that these media can be fragile to the disabled. It's a good idea to back up the media for them in case they drop, scratch, or otherwise damage it. Should they be forced to buy replacements for it? For that matter, should I be forced to buy a replacement because I am not allowed to backup my media? Fine, don't want me to make a backup, then you need to provide free replacements for broken media... forever.
At home, I am building a media server. It will house copies of all my movies, music and photos and other content. Ripping my legally purchased DVDs is difficult, but not impossible. It's also frustrating. I am not doing anything wrong, I am just trying to create a nice media server that I can call up any movie or music or whatever that I want. Why am I suddenly a criminal for trying to do something that copyright law allows for? I am because they are creating laws to prevent me from doing something that use to be legal (DMCA). They can't know what the future of devices and media will be, and I shouldn't be forced to purchase new copies because those devices and media change.
Fine, you don't want someone using your copyrighted material, then you should think hard before you broadcast it into space. Right now aliens are listening to the latest music, and watching TV and haven't purchased a license for it. Think of the trillions in sales lost.

Junior forward Colleen Moriarty
NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA- Junior forward Colleen Moriarty (Canton, MA/Canton HS) of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's women's basketball team has been honored by the Little East Conference.
Moriarty has been named LEC Women's Basketball Player of the Week.
Moriarty averaged 19.5 points and 11 rebounds per game for a double double in two games last week. She made 15 of 25 shots from the field for 45.7 per cent. Moriarty scored 16 points and grabbed eight rebounds against Rhode Island College, then scored 23 points and added 16 rebounds and three blocked shots against Eastern Connecticut State.
"Colleen is a tremendous offensive weapon," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Amanda Van Voorhis. "She is smarter with her moves from the block, she is recognizing the double and triple teams, and she is finding the open player on the perimeter. This has been a breakout season for her. I was confident she could lead the way for us statistically and that is what she has done all season. "
The Corsairs are 14-9 and 5-7 in the Little East Conference and will return to action when they visit UMass Boston Tuesday evening.

Continuing our look toward the 2012 NFL Draft, now inside a week in the countdown, BigRon back in to continue the discussion with another part of the picture. Our last entry was a look at some of the possible options for your Houston Texans' 1st round selection at #26. By now many Fans are familiar with players likely tabbed for top 75 selections. To me one of the more interesting things about draft research is digging into the various mid to late-round prospects. It's a prime area for teams to shape rosters around their marquee players and even unearth a few hidden gems that might join the headliners. One thing I definitely wanted to get to with our readers before the clock starts ticking Thursday evening is a look past the first few rounds. This entry is all about the lesser-known NFL hopefuls, from under-the-radar guys that have become some of our favorite prospects, to the small schoolers, to the 7th rounders or even priority free agents you might have in mind for the squad to take a chance on. Of course I have quite a few of my own lesser-known faves, and in kicking around ideas I posed the question on Twitter asking for 'favorite under-the-radar prospects'. The focus was on players likely to be available on day 3 that arent getting the publicity of the round 1-3 types, and the response was a number of additional candidates that could also be intriguing additions to the 2010 Texans. I broke the names down by position and put it together for our readers to check out along with some commentary on each group…
- B.J. Coleman – Tennessee – Chattanooga
- Ryan Lindley – San Diego St.
- Chandler Harnish – Northern Illinois
QB is a spot where I actually expect the Texans could add a player that fits their scheme and has some upside to develop. After last season I don't think it's unreasonable at all for them to keep three QBs, and with only Schaub and Yates currently on the roster, they'll have to add one or two somehow for Camp. Why not look at guys with some potential. Coleman is one who has significant upside in his natural talents and would be a nice fit in Kubiak's offense. Harnish is similar in how he'd fit the offense but is a clear step down in athletic ability and arm talent. Both played in the Shrine Game, and acquitted themselves fairly well. Harnish was also one of the 'throwing QBs' at the Combine… Like one Taylor Jonathan Yates was a year ago. Lindley is a guy I like personally, and was also brought up by my guy and friend of the FanBlog, 'Eric K'. Paraphrasing what NFL Films' Greg Cosell said about Lindley, the kid makes more 'wow' throws than most of the QBs in this class. He comes from a pro-style O in San Diego State and has most of the tools you want to see. The biggest issues are his inconsistent ball placement and unsteady footwork, but I'd be interested to see what a good QB coach could mold Lindley into.
- Marvin Jones – California
- Greg Childs – Arkansas
- Brian Quick – Appalachian St
- DeVier Posey – Ohio St
- Patrick Edwards – UH
- Lavon Brazil – Ohio
- Dale Moss – South Dakota St.
- Gerrel Robinson – Arizona St
- Derek Moye – Penn St.
- Eric Page – Toledo
It's a given that the Texans will be looking to add a WR out of this draft, and they could very likely select more than one. Fortunately, this is one of the deepest WR classes, top to bottom, that I can recall in my eight years studying the draft. As such, the list of guys I like that aren't as highly touted as some others is also pretty healthy. The 1st two listed here aren't really 'under-the-radar', as I've been stumping for Marvin Jones since the Senior Bowl. I think he's the best combination of scheme fit, value, upside, and immediate impact potential in this class of receivers and have me eyes on him with the Texans' 3rd rounder (#76). Jones also mentioned in a SiriusXM NFL Radio interview that the Texans were one of the teams showing interest in him. Greg Childs was a much more highly touted prospect before he suffered a serious knee injury in 2010. He didn't get back into the Razorbacks' lineup until the latter part of the 2011 season and was clearly not at the same level of play. Reports are Childs could be ready to fully rebound physically, and with his natural gifts, he could be a steal for the team that gambles on a return to top form for Childs. Brian Quick is a promising FCS prospect that many Texans Fans have their sights on with prototype size and athletic upside to get into the 2nd round. Posey was a bigger-name, top receiving prospect prior to being part of the tattoo scandal at Ohio State and his subsequent suspension for the beginning of 2011. The missed time, combined with a new QB (after having played with Terrell Pryor, who was never the best thrower) had Posey's stock lukewarm at best after his final season. He's since had a solid, but low key Senior Bowl performance, won a WR skills challenge during Super Bowl week, and had an excellent all around showing at the Combine. I like Posey's size, hands and proficiency running routes to the point that I think the team that takes a shot on him is going to get a very consistent producer with WR2 upside. Houstonians should be very familiar with Patrick Edwards, as he was only the most prolific WR for one of the most potent offensive attacks in the country, my Houston Cougars. I won't break down Pat's exceptional resume here, as y'all should already know. I'll just say I'm a rather huge fan and would be ecstatic if he ended up a Texan. Lavon Brazill and Eric Page are non-BCS school WRs that still stood out away from the spotlight for their polish and production. Brazill is one of the cleanest WR prospects in this class in the Steve Smith (USC/NYG/PHI) mold and my top late round sleeper. Page's name came up in the twitter discussion as more the Wes Welker type, slot ankle-breaker guy that catches everything. Robinson, Moye, and Moss are all among the taller, bigger-bodied late round WR types. Robinson and Moye come with production from BCS schools but very little individual hype, with Moss being a late bloomer from an unheard-of program but with absolutely sick physical ability and upside as a converted high-flying hoopster with only one year of NCAA football experience (youtube Dale Moss and see what I mean). I probably could have listed twice as many names here, and I'm sure some of you have others. Just goes to show how many draftable WRs this class has to offer.
Running Back
- Cyrus Gray – Texas A&M
- Ronnie Hillman – San Diego St.
- Tauren Poole – Tennessee
- Daniel "Boom" Herron – Ohio St.
- Bobby Rainey – Western Kentucky
- Michael Hayes – UH
The Texans 1-2 punch of Arian Foster and Ben Tate became one of the more formidable RB tandems in the League last season. However, there is very little behind Foster and Tate. Derrick Ward, the 3rd RB last season, is an unrestricted free agent still seeking a contract. The only other RB on the roster is Javarris Williams, who was brought into Camp last summer, cut, and spent a good portion of the season on the Texans practice squad. I doubt the Texans are considering bringing Ward back, as the minimum salary for his years of service is likely too high for the role he would fill. This leads me to believe that the Texans could be looking to add another RB to their stable, whether via a later round selection or as a priority free agent. Cyrus Gray is a guy I'm sure many Texans Fans have seen a bunch of for the Texas Aggies. I put him here because I just haven't heard much buzz, even though I could see him coming off the board as early as the 3rd round. I don't think the Texans value a RB that early, but if they did, Cyrus would be an excellent fit. The remaining RBs listed are all guys I really like, but I would think will be available in the 5th round or later. Hillman was the main ball carrier for the last two years, breaking Marshall Faulk's SDSU freshman rushing record with 1532 yards and backing that up with a WAC record 1711 yards this season, before declaring for the draft as a red-shirt sophomore. With low 4.4 speed and good receiving ability, Hillman is exactly what I have in mind as a 3rd RB for the Texans if it's not Javarris. Tauren Poole is another 3rd-down type with good hands and a one-cut style that would fit nicely with the Texans as well. Bobby Rainey is a non-Combine guy who will go late or may be undrafted but will make an NFL roster. His size (5'7"-205) belies the fact that he is an absolutely tenacious runner between the tackles and has been relied upon for high volume totes of the mail. Rainey reminds me of Jacquizz Rodgers, the Lamar High standout now playing for the Falcons by way of Oregon State. Rainey, the two-time Sunbelt Conference OPOY, runs with relentlessness at that size and is surprisingly tough to get on the ground, just like Quizz. Mike Hayes is another one of my UH Coogs that I just had to include here. He didn't get a Combine invite but reportedly showed well at the UH pro day, running mid 4.5s with 23 strength reps and good performances in drill work. Hayes worked out for the Texans over the weekend along with Pat Edwards, Case Keenum, and a few other players, so I know he's on their radar whether as a late round pick or UDFA. Herron, who also faced suspension for the Ohio State violations, is a guy I see with the body and running style of a lead back albeit lacking the speed and explosiveness. I was a big fan of "Boom"'s performance his junior season and included him here with thoughts of last year more than what he showed as a senior.
Tight End
- Kevin Koger – Michigan
- Brad Smelley – Alabama
- Chase Ford – Miami
- Drake Dunsmore – Northwestern
- Evan Rodriguez – Temple
These are a few of the TEs that haven't gotten much run in the pre-draft process, and any of them might be a decent fit to replenish the depth the Texans lost with Joel Dreessen departing for Denver. Koger, Smelley and Ford all come from football factories, but aren't near the top of the TE class and weren't at the Combine. Dunsmore and Rodriguez are from smaller scale FBS schools, but both were invited and performed well in pass receiving drills at the Combine. Koger and Ford are built similarly to Dreessen and project to be more effective in the blocking aspect while still being functional receivers. On the other hand, Smelley, Dunsmore and Rodriguez, all at around 6'2-240, are more the types to be flexed and used more exclusively as receiving threats. It will be interesting to see how the TE prospects are valued and prioritized by the Texans. They do still have Garrett Graham as the 'next man up', but I figure they'll look to add one more versatile TE/H-Back type to the fold.
Offensive Line
- OT Tom Compton – South Dakota
- OT Brandon Mosley – Auburn
- T/G Tony Bergstrom – Utah
- OC David Molk – Michigan
- OG Adam Gettis – Iowa
- OG Derek Dennis – Temple
- OG Joe Looney – Wake Forest
With the losses of Eric Winston and Mike Brisiel at RT and RG respectively, depth on the OL with an eye toward potential starters has to be addressed. Though there have been rumblings that the Texans could consider OL as early as the 1st round, I more expect to see them looking for value in the middle rounds. Tom Compton is my #1 'sleeper' in this class on offense. He dominated at the FCS level but faces an even greater leap in competition as a pro than many FBS prospects will. The highly athletic tackle prospect was a Shrine Game participant, though he didn't play much in the game for some reason. He did receive good reviews in practice reports and caught my eye in his Combine workouts, where he placed in the top 10 of almost every test except the bench. His attributes would make him a possibility in the 4th-5th round as another developmental ZBS tackle, and he's another player in this entry that has had the Texans express some level of interest. Mosley and Bergstrom are both possible fits from BCS programs with fair amounts of athleticism in their own right, although Bergstrom may project better to guard. Molk is a target for many Texans Fans as an excellent ZBS center prospect with college awards to back it up. I'm not as big on Molk as some, as I think he's limited to only playing center, but he's certainly worth including here. Gettis is a guard prospect from a school known for producing pro linemen, and he absolutely blew up the Combine to possibly earn a spot in the late rounds with that athleticism zone teams love. Dennis and Looney were suggestions by my Twitter peeps who are both decent thoughts for fits at guard in the ZBS as well.
Defensive Line
- DT Hebron Fangupo – BYU
- DT Tydreke Powell – North Carolina
- DT/DE DaJohn Harris – USC
- DE Jaye Howard – Florida
- DE Tyrone Crawford – Boise St.
- DE Akiem Hicks – Regina (Canada)
Most of the DE and NT prospects I'm looking at for the Texans are in the middle rounds anyway, as I don't believe they'll covet either position before the 3rd round. As such, the players above are ones I believe could be of interest to the Texans more so than those in this list at other positions. Fangupo is a NT prospect from BYU with very good movement skills for a big man. Like many BYU guys, Fangupo undertook a religious mission prior to college so he's older than the average prospect at 27 y/o before the season. I think he could be a very good value selection around the late 4th/early 5th area as a future replacement for Shaun Cody. Tydreke Powell is another guy with significant college production and a Senior Bowl appearance, but he doesn't seem to have gotten much attention. I see Powell as a rotational NT, again similar to Shaun Cody, with nice anchor ability, very good awareness and enough tenacity for the position to be a solid late round depth addition. In the same vein as Powell, Harris is a player who I believe is more talented than the buzz he's gotten. With significant experience in USC's 'multiple' front, Harris offers potential to play every spot on the DL in Wade Phillips scheme. He's a very active player with excellent hustle and effort who offers good size and use of his heavy hands along with flexibility along the line. Jaye Howard is right there with Compton as my biggest defensive sleeper in this class. A very athletic DT for Florida, I think Howard could be an excellent backup to Watt and Smith and has the talent to eventually start, possibly as the heir apparent to Antonio. At 6'3" 301, Howard has excellent size for a 3-4 DE and matches that size with excellent athleticism, quickness (4.82 40yd/4.47 short shuttle), and some natural movement ability to shed blocks and get penetration. Crawford is a similar player to Howard, but he's longer and about 25 lbs. lighter, which is why I'd favor Howard even though Crawford would be a good get as well. Akiem Hicks is an intriguing player who started his career at LSU, but due to a recruiting violation by the coach that signed him out of juco, Hicks will make his way into the League via University of Regina (Canada). He flashed his talents for NFL scouts at the Shrine Game, and though he's a raw prospect Hicks offers ample size for the DE position (6'4" and change/318lbs) and is another player with the flexibility to play up and down the line in the Texans' scheme.
- Sammy Brown – UH
- Frank Alexander – Oklahoma
- Adrian Hamilton – Prarie View A&M
- Josh Kaddu – Oregon
- Miles Burris – San Diego St.
- Chris Galippo – USC
In the 3-4, LBs will always be in demand, and even if the Texans take one early they might still be interested in more depth for the group later in the draft. The first four above are all rush OLB prospects. Sammy Brown, the third UH Cougar in our list, is loaded with potential and led the NCAA in tackles for a loss in 2011. His pro day numbers were outstanding and he should be on teams' radar on day three. Adrian Hamilton is another somewhat local prospect out of PVAMU who put up serious numbers in 2011 with 24.5 TFLs and a staggering 22 sacks in the SWAC. He's been linked to the Texans and could be another late round or UDFA target that could come in and fight for a roster spot. Alexander and Kaddu are both OLB prospects from BCS schools who have battled injuries in the lead up to the draft but have gained a bit of buzz in the late going. Burris is an interesting player that has the flexibility to project to a rotation spot both outside and inside. His career at SDSU was very productive, and he led the team in tackles (72), tackles for loss (19.0), sacks (8.0) and fumble recoveries (3) in 2011, his second season as a 1st-team all MWC selection. Galippo was highly recruited as a prep LB, but his career at USC wasn't nearly as distinguished as some anticipated. However, I like his experience in the middle of that defense and the level of competition and training he's accustomed to coming from Southern Cal. He's not the athlete of some of his predecessors and not nearly as highly regarded as a pro prospect, but Galippo is a guy that could be a good value addition to the group as a reserve ILB and special teams guy should he be available late in the draft.
Defensive Back
- CB Ron Brooks – LSU
- CB Justin Bethel – Presbyterian
- CB Asa Jackson – Cal Poly
- DB DeQuan Menzie – Alabama
- CB Coty Sensabaugh – Clemson
- CB Jeremy Lane – Northwestern St. (LA)
- S Kelcie McCray – Arkansas St.
Though the Texans secondary improved greatly with the free agent additions they made last season, they'll certainly be looking to add more quality prospects to the back end to maintain that level of performance. With the investments they've already made at DB, I don't think it will be a very high priority, but there are plenty of indications that the Texans have been sniffing around cover men. Various reports have connected the Texans to Brooks, Lane, and McCray whether with visits or at workouts. The Texans were one of a small number of teams represented at the Northwestern St. pro day, supposedly with interest in Lane. They've also had Brooks, one of the fastest CBs in the draft (4.37 40yd), and McCray, a safety with outstanding physical traits (6'2"/202/4.54 40yd), in for pre-draft visits. Jackson and Menzie are two CBs who played at the Senior Bowl and showed fairly well, Menzie of course coming off a BCS Championship with Alabama. Neither will be highly coveted, but both could be solid contributors. Coty Sensabaugh, cousin of Gerald, is another player that had a solid Combine workout and fits the size/speed profile the Texans like in their CBs (5'11"/4.42 40yd), but he also has some significant production for a highly ranked Clemson squad and shows very good movement ability and feel in coverage to go along with the athletic numbers. Last, but not least, Justin Bethel is a small school guy that I read good reports about during Shrine week and really impressed me in drills at the Combine. I also saw a number of draftniks I follow and respect make similar remarks about Bethel and earmarked him as another small school CB to watch.
— — —- — —
There are many more unheralded, mid-late round prospects that would be great additions, and I figure if even one or two of the guys listed here end up as Texans it'd just be 'lucky guesses'. Still, a number of prospects we've identified also appear in our local draft guru, Lance Zierlein's lists of potential Texans for both offense and defense, so I figure it's a decent look. I appreciate anyone who took the time to check out the entry, and I definitely want to send a shout to all my Texans buds on twitter that responded to my question (Eric, Cleave, DC, Pat, Ben, Amir, Rivers, Matt R… if any of you check this out and want me to link your feed, hit me up!). I also encourage our readers to drop in your own favorite under-the-radar prospects in the comments below and/or give us some feedback on the list above. Draft Weekend is almost here, so as we come down the stretch, let us know what you're thinkin'!

Motorola has announced a new Android handset on Wednesday and Pocket-lint is, of course, on hand to get a gander.
The new handset, which will sport Android 2.1 and the company's Motoblur interface, will become the latest phone to be a part of Motorola's range of handsets, and is one more notch in getting to the 20 handsets the company hopes to launch in the next 12 months.
This time, instead of a candy bar or slider design, the square Motorola Flipout will feature a QWERTY keyboard that swivels out from beneath a touchscreen.
That swivel, which is likely to be incredibly addictive for those always looking for something to play with, is also the way to answer calls.
With interchangeable covers and a "fun" interface, the company is clearly attempting to appeal to the 20-something handset owner already tempted by other, similar phones yet to be released like the HTC Wildfire and Microsoft Kin range.
Due out in July, Motorola has confirmed that the phone will be available on Orange in the UK. Other operators have yet to be announced.
We will keep you posted with a full review when handsets become available.
And those colours? Featured is Fairway Green, Saffron and Raspberry Crush, but you'll also be able to get Licorice, Brilliant Blue, Poppy Red, and White.
