Licence Restriction
14 December 2007 at 9:10pm
I notice that the 3rd bullet point of the COPYING file included in the root directory of the expanded tarball states:
* Neither the name of SilverStripe nor the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software
without specific prior written permission.
To me I read this as meaning that I cannot provide a link to SilverStripe website in the footer of the website I have generated using SilverStripe without getting written permission.
I was planning on having a:
Powered by the SilverStripe CMS
in my footer.
Is this the intended purpose of this restriction???

I surely hope not, because I have done this too without asking and was planning on doing it again.
But I cannot imagine they wouldn't like being linked to, as it's only free advertising.
I recall that I even mentioned to Sigurd that I was having a 'powered by Silverstripe' and he didn't say I couldn't, only replied: 'cool'...
Maybe he can clear this out?

What we like you to get permission for, is where you are stating that we're endorsing or promoting your work:
e.g. We would want to approve footers like:
"SilverStripe and Sigurd Magnusson love 3dkiwi's website".
"This heavily customised version of SilverStripe is brought to you by 3dkiwi and Sigurd Magnusson" (in which case any bugs or features you've introduced may be misattributed to me).
Whereas these are fine:
"SilverStripe was used to build this site, and 3dkiwi loves SilverStripe"
"This heavily customised version of SilverStripe was brought to you by 3dkiwi and based off the original SilverStripe system"
"Powered by SilverStripe"
Because these are not examples of us endorsing you, and not pretending your work is actually ours as a way to gain credibility.
Clearly, the more websites with "Powered by SilverStripe" footers, the more people learn about and trust SilverStripe, so we're dead keen on you doing that!

That was what I was expecting and hoping the bullet point meant.
I could not see it making any sense for you to restrict "advertising" back to your website. Just the wording in the COPYING file seemed a little confusing for us mere mortals not being legal beagles and all.
While on this subject of footers and banners. Do you guys have any "official" icons, banners etc. that could be used for this sort of thing? Thinking of the small dokuwiki icon type of thing.

The Old Rectory was built around 1880 as a home for the St. Joseph parish priests. Money wasn't plentiful at the time. The pioneer parishioners, with their nickels, dimes, quarters and dollars accomplished the task of establishing a church, school, residence for nuns and a rectory. The Rectory served as the priests' residence until 1980.The Old
Rectory is believed to be the first brick structure in Bonne Terre. The bricks were made on the property and then dried in the sun. All exterior walls are solid brick and 15 inches thick. (This can be observed by looking at the inset of the windows.)
There are 33 windows in the building with all facings and baseboard moldings nailed with square nails. All are made of Georgia pine. The interior walls are of solid brick and approximately 12 inches thick. The flooring is ¾ inch tongue and groove and also made of Georgia pine. In between the floor and ceilings, the space was filled with coke (a solid residue consisting mainly of carbon, left after the volatile elements have been driven from bituminous coal or other petroleum materials), possibly for insulation and sound deadening. The roof sheathing is of ¾ inch tongue and groove pine. Five fireplaces heated the building. The original lighting was furnished by Kerosene lamps. There were no closets in the original building.
On the exterior, there are metal stars about halfway up the walls between the first and second floor. They are attached to a steel rod that runs to the opposite wall and is attached to another star. A three foot square by fourteen feet high extension is located on the east wall just outside the rear door. It is believed that this was an above ground cistern that furnished water by gravity feed to the building.
There is no other structure like The Old Rectory in St. Francois County.
In 1980 the building was desperately in need of repair. It was closed and a new residence was built. This new residence is attached to the church. The Old Rectory was then used by the church for storage.
To honor their past and rich heritage, a group of parishioners entered into negotiations with the Archdiocese of St. Louis about the building. The building was purchased for one dollar. Renovations began in 1996 and were completed in 1999. The second floor houses a luxury apartment that is rented to help support the upkeep of The Old Rectory. The first floor houses a museum with mementos of early church history in Bonne Terre and elsewhere.
The Old Rectory is owned and operated by The Rectory, Inc., a not for profit corporation. It is an association which welcomes new members who care about the upkeep and continuing operation of the facility. Membership is ten dollars per year. For more information about the association please contact "The Rectory, Inc." at P.O. Box 486, Bonne Terre, Mo. 63628.

Every time I visit Zoo Atlanta, I am always amazed by the wonderful mothering going on there. Not by the zookeepers, but by the animals themselves.
They're not reading any books, attending classes or incessantly Googling their fears on the Internet. They're just instinctively good caregivers.
I'm sure they don't know it, but many of the animals practice the Dr. Sears Attachment Parenting theory. All the mammals usually nurse their babies. Many "wear" their babies. And co-sleeping is all the rage. From the savanna grasslands to the jungle habitats, mommies and babies cuddle up together – keeping warm and giving comfort to their young.
Two weeks ago, I chaperoned an overnight trip to the zoo with my daughter's second-grade class. I loved spending time with my little girl and all her friends, and I learned more amazing facts about how the mommy animals take care of their young.
So to celebrate Mother's Day I wanted to share with you some of my favorite mommy moments from Zoo Atlanta.
8. All the co-sleeping animals - Each time we walked by the Asian small-clawed otters' habitat, they were all cuddled up together sleeping. They were lying so close together you couldn't tell where one stopped and the other began. It reminded me of our bed. Sometimes I wake up and all three kids are snuggled between me and my husband.
7. The Pandas - On the morning after our Night Crawler adventure at the zoo, we had a private viewing of the pandas. We were lucky and saw them all. Mommy and Daddy were out first. Big sister was lying on her back gnawing on bamboo, and we watched new baby brother timidly step outside into view. He stood there awhile and finally the mommy panda went over to him. It looked like she encouraged him to come on out. Then she climbed a platform and encouraged him to follow. It was precious to see her reassure her baby just like we do!
6. All the nursing going on in that place - As a mother who nursed all three of her babies about 18 months each, I love all the nursing at the zoo. Even the most ferocious beasts nurse their babies. The lioness had three cubs almost a year ago and nursed them all. Gorilla mothers nurse upwards of three years! The American Academy of Pediatrics would be so proud.
5. Wearing the baby - Many animals "wear" their babies just like humans. Well not exactly like humans, they don't need a Baby Bjorn. But starting at a very young age, many babies cling to their mommies bodies. It keeps them safe from predators, warm and close by to nurse.
Tiny baby gorillas cling to the hair on the mothers' stomachs at first and then as they get older begin riding on their backs. Baby gorillas are weak and can't support their necks. The mommy gorilla is extremely devoted and holds her baby non-stop for about the first four months of life.
4. Taking care of twins - The gorilla mommy Kuchi has achieved an amazing feat that any human mother would have to respect – she has cared for her twins without any help. Generally zoo keepers have to intervene and help the mommy care for twins. It is especially hard for gorillas to care for two. They need at least one hand to help them walk – the really walk on all fours. So it was very hard for Kuchi to eat, walk and hold both babies but she managed it. She developed a strategy when the twins became mobile to keep one by her foot and would pull the baby back if he wandered.
3. The multi-tasking kangaroo - The kangaroo exhibit was a new one for me, and we learned some truly amazing facts about these multi-tasking mommies. These mommies can tandem nurse! They can have an itty bitty baby joey living in the pouch nursing all the time and then have a big joey outside her body jumping around come over and also nurse! Tandem nursing is something human mommies can do too if they so choose.
2. The kangaroo is truly in charge of her reproduction - The kangaroo mommy can suspend the growth of a developing embryo inside of her (technically known as embryonic diapause) if she is already caring for two joeys! Also she can suspend the growth if there has been some drastic environmental change where she couldn't support the growth of another baby – such as a bad drought. What an amazing adaption.
1. Orangutans have the compassion and instinct to be a foster parent – A few years back an orangutan had a baby but didn't take care of him. Instead of just letting the baby (named Bernas) die, Madu, another female orangutan in the group, stepped in and took care of him. I love that this animal was empathetic and compassionate. I love that despite never having her own babies, her maternal instincts kicked in and she took care of him. Since she couldn't nurse the baby, the zoo keepers trained her to bring the baby to the edge of the habitat so the baby could be given a bottle. She did such a wonderful job as a foster mother that another zoo brought an orphan to her to see if she would care for him. And she did! She has now been a successful foster mother to two babies!
Who do you think are some of the best mommies? What do you make of the similarities in parenting practices between man and beast? Happy Mother's Day! (I want to thank Michael McClellan, one of the dads who went on the second-grade zoo trip, for letting me use all his photos. His shots were so much better than mine.)

Don't compare human and animal behavior. Mammals, marsupials and some other animal species care for their young until they're ready to survive on their own. On the other hand, most reptiles (alligators and rattlesnakes are exceptions) bury their eggs and forget about them. And most animals (primates excepted) do not live in "family" units… in many species the male's responsibility ends at mating. And in zoos, it's usually not necessary for a "mother" animal to kill the weakest of her offspring to provide food for her others, or eliminate the "defective". Survival of the species and reproduction is the raison etre for all organisms on earth, and is the reason for the care shown by mammals (and others) in raising their young. The "mothering" instinct in animals is simply "survival of the species."

And of course, my family's favorite animal observation with regards to the treatment of unruly children: "This is why some animals eat their young!"

It's much easier to care for your young when you don't have to work, do laundry, clean the house, take anyone to baseball practice, etc.
I only wish we had time to snuggle in bed and sleep the day away.

As a mom who struggled with nursing all three of her babies, I'm very glad I'm not an animal. Of course, Dr. Sears implies I'm a bad parent for feeding them formula, but I guess I'll survive. BTW, they will too. :-)

You're not a bad mom! Some people don't choose to and sometimes you just can't no matter how much you want to. And they do all survive!!

OK, I know this is unrealted but, did anyone watch the new Star Trek movie? Why is it PG13? Too much violence, sex, adult situations? My kids (6 and almost 9) really want to see it, but I worry about that rating. I haven't seen it.
Can anyone give me advice?

To momtoAlex&Matt, Star Trek is not for small kids. I saw it this weekend. Yes there is some language, one bedroom scene, and a lot of violence. Not to mention that little kids aren't going to understand the story so they'll be bored or if like my son, they would ask unending questions throughout the movie trying to get the plot. I'd go see it yourself and then you can consider what you wish for your kids when it comes out on DVD.

The zoo always makes me sad. I know they do a lot of good for conservation, but seeing those apes sitting on big concrete blocks with those sad looks, just makes me want to free them all.
One time while I was there, a plastic bag blew in to the Orangatan exhibit. An older male took the bag, wrapped it around the electric fence, and started shaking it. He wanted out so badly.

I don't like the zoo either, and don't get me started on birds that are in cages…….I hate going to the pet stores. I want to open the cages and let them fly!!!!!
I want to release the lobsters at the grocery stores too. I can't stand to see them in that tiny tank, with their claws taped……
May 11th, 2009

I am not much for the zoo either. However, I do like national geographic specials and animal planet showing animals in their more natural environment. I like to see how different species raise their young.
On the off topic, I saw Star Trek twice this weekend. The movie is not for small children. Even though it is mostly fantasy violence, very mild sexual situations it is solid PG-13 rating. I would bring a more mature 10 or 11 who can follow quick plots changes but this movie moves really quick. You may want to review on DVD before letting your children see this movie.

Re: "Star Trek"; I'm not sure how much an under-13 would relate to the movie. It's a fun romp for those of us who grew up on "Star Trek", and it's hard for me to divorce my own familiarity with the material and look at the movie as just another sci-fi movie. There is some violence, but nothing hideous. Some heavy "making out", but no nudity. Basically, nothing much worse than they would find on the Disney Channel. People die, but you don't see the blood-spattering gore of so many movies these days. Very little blood, in fact, except for the beginning when Kirk gets beat up in a bar brawl, and then there's a bloody nose and cut-up mouth. If someone didn't know the emotional history of Vulcans, the backstory on Spock may not make much sense. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, but my 20-year-old son was only mildly entertained — and even then, more entertained by my reaction than by the movie, itself! The older movie-goers would chuckle at the references to the series that went right over the younger viewers. I agree with jct — mature 10 or 11 year olds only, younger than that, and it's a waste of money.
I have to admit, though, I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to connect the new "Star Trek" to the series and the movies that I know. Maybe a new, younger viewer would be more able to take it at face value. I am still annoyed at the relationship that seemed forced on Spock and Uhura, and walked out of the theatre thinking, "But she (undefined here, for purpose of spoilers) couldn't die, she showed up in the series later!" And it's work trying to sort out what we HAD known of Spock's relationship with his parents to what the new movie now purports to put forward as their re-tooled relationship. It redefines Spock quite a bit.

CJ your not a bad mom. My Pediatrician said "Will nursing your baby get them into Harvard? NO. Will get get them Valedictorian? NO. Will get them head cheerleader or captain of the football team? NO. Will get them CEO of a Fortune 500? NO." What is imporant is that the baby is healthy, cared for, and nurished in ALL ways (social, emotional, physical ect).
According to the Ped (and she is a lactation specialist) nursing has shown some antibodies of the mother helping the baby for a short term (3 months). She also said that the closeness and need build a dependency in the baby that sets up the bond of mother to child.
I sat with both my babies and cooed, sang (feel bad for my voice is horrible) etc while they fed from a bottle. I held them where the could hear my heart as they went to sleep. When my babies cried, Mommy showed up….I give them my love and support everyday….
One of them is showing great promise on the Soccer Field…..but I doubt it was the formula ;o)

CJ, Dr. Sears is a MAN. What the hell does he know about nursing a baby? It's a lot of work, and some babies just don't take to it, causing hours of frustration for mom and baby alike. I nursed my first baby for about six months — teeth came in, and the Dairy Queen closed forthwith! The second baby, although she slept through the night at five days old, was a very fussy nurser, and we fought for three months before I finally said — "Ok, you win". It was not worth my getting uptight and frustrated. So, an early lesson learned: Pick your battles. :-)

Not everyone can nurse a baby and not every baby can nurse. My son was a little premature, any he was very tiny. I tried and tried but he never learned to latch on. On top of that my milk didn't come down for several days, which can happen for premature births. Even with pumping, he just wasn't getting enough to eat. It was either give him a bottle or let him starve.

Zoos are nothing put prisons for animals. That these wonderful creatures have the courage to breed in this kind of captivity shows their resiliance, but doesn't diminish the thoroughly exploitive nature of the environment or the people that run and patronize these horrible places.
Every one of these moms would be even better moms in the wild where they belong.
The only worse animal exploitation venue in Atlanta is the GA Aquarium.
If your kids want to see animals in the wild, buy a DVD, check out the Discovery Channel, or go to the internet (or go on an ECO safari somewhere).

very happy and my 4 cats all love this! I am going to get another because they love to just lay on it also when not scratching it. Its very cute and looks nice in your home and its a great product for a good price! Thankyou overstock again!
Kind of a cute looking scratching board,and it is well made. I had hoped it would replace the messy cardboard one my cat likes, however she is not interested in this one, even after rubbing it with catnip. It's always hit or miss with cats!
Main part is made of sawdust and glue. It broke at the weakest point where the spinning scratcher is after only a few days. I tried to repair it but there is nothing of substance to screw into. Very disappointing. **** down the drain...
my boys love this thing! they can't be bothered with the squeaky wheel thingie up top, but that's fine .. they ran right over and had themselves a good scratch .. works for me!
I bought this in hopes that my cat would prefer it over the cardboard type of scratcher. He uses it some but still prefers the cardboard one. It is an Excellent made product, very sturdy, and cute as can be.
The three cats here had very little to do with the scratching board for about two weeks. They are slowly begining to use it. I have put fresh cat nip on it to encourage more use of it. Our cats are older and seem to take their time to get use to new things.

Error seen in Front Royal charter change
By Alex Bridges
FRONT ROYAL - A clerical error could have moved Front Royal elections from May to June instead of November as Town Council wants.
Del. Michael J. Webert, R-Warrenton, sponsored House Bill 2051 that seeks numerous changes to Front Royal's Town Charter. Changes include switching the town elections from May to November of the even-numbered years.
Town leaders and officials worked for months on the proposed changes, which require approval by the General Assembly to go into effect.
Mayor Timothy Darr and other council members on Monday expressed concern and disappointment that the legislation filed with the General Assembly includes an error that calls for town elections to move from May to June.
"We've been working on this ... since Thursday and Friday pretty diligently with the town attorney and hopefully we can at least have Del. Webert, [Del. C. Todd] Gilbert and Del. [Beverly] Sherwood or someone please get with us as soon as possible, let us know what's going on," Darr said. "At this point I don't want to go into any details other than the fact that I hope it was just an error made that can be corrected and we can move forward with our charter changes because over the last six months this council and the previous council worked very hard and diligently on our charter changes."
Webert's legislative aide, Joel Hensley, stated in an email Tuesday that the paragraphs indicating a change in the election schedule have been put back into the bill currently in the General Assembly. The language likely won't appear in the bill as listed on the legislative website until next week, Hensley stated.
But the simple typographical error sparked disappointment in some council members.
Darr added, "at the end of the day we sent it forward as a collective body and I hope that it continues on through Richmond in that same fashion."
Town Attorney Douglas W. Napier told council the bill's language changed at some point while in the hands of the General Assembly. Webert filed the legislation Jan. 9. Napier said he has since asked Webert to restore the bill to the original language approved by council. According to Napier, Webert said the changes might not appear in the filed bill right away.
Vice Mayor N. Shae Parker expressed concern that the deadline for legislators to file bills passed last Friday. Council Bret Hrbek said he hoped the wording error was an accidental typographical mistake.
Also at the meeting:
- Council heard from Michael Rush, director of housing with People Inc., who spoke about the nonprofit organization's proposal to build 28 units on property off Va. 55. People Inc. would use tax credits from the Virginia Housing Development Authority to complete the project. People Inc. has until Jan. 28 to report to the Virginia Housing Development Authority on whether the organization plans to move forward with the proposed project, Rush said. The nonprofit would need to obtain a special-use permit through the town's Planning Department, Rush added.
- Voted unanimously to renew a lease with Fusel Florist for approximately 22 parking spaces owned by the town through February 2018 for $12. Councilman Eugene Tewalt did not attend the meeting.
- Held a public hearing on a proposed amendment to town code related to fees charged for fulfilling certain requests through the Freedom of Information Act depending on the number of pages printed. No one spoke during the public hearing. Council approved the proposed change on a first reading.
- Held a public hearing on a proposed change to the town code pertaining to utility accounts. The amendment allows utility customers or their dependents who are in poor health an extension on the time allowed for nonpayment of the bills before the town disconnects service. No one spoke at the hearing. Council approved the measure on a first reading. The change would affect approximately 20-25 households, which were notified about the amendment, according to town Finance Director Kim Gilkey-Breeden. Town Manager Steven Burke told council staff does not have a problem tracking utility reconnections.
- Held a public hearing on a proposed amendment to the town code pertaining to outdoor displays, sales and storage, as well as certain vehicles, in the entrance corridor. Tammy Sullivan, of 1310 Adams Ave., asked where she could park her camper trailer. Sullivan said she received a warning from the town indicating that parking her trailer in the driveway at the side of her home violated the ordinance. Jeremy Camp, director of planning and zoning, said he would speak to her individually about the issue. Council voted 4-0 to approve the changes. Parker abstained from the vote. After a debate over whether Parker or any other council member should state why he abstained from voting, the vice mayor said: "I'm not going to vote on something that's not accurate and precise." Parker told council he would wait to vote on the matter when it returns for a second reading with any updates.
- Voted to approve the spending of no more than $36,500 to Patton, Harris, Rust & Associates to study the possible creation of a looped water system from the Happy Creek area to the U.S. 522 corridor and perform related preliminary engineering. The study will not include the analysis of a water system that would run parallel to the current pipes. Dominion will reimburse the town 75 percent of the cost of the study per its contract with Front Royal.

Anticipatory Computing - Fascinating stuff by ExpectLabs!
Anticipatory computing is another area where intelligent assistants will shine. Watch our founder explain how this technology will enable software to know precisely what you want — even before you do.
As a new resident of New York and an ITP graduate student, NYC's disruptive innovation scene drew me in very quickly with no bandwidth for anything else in life. No longer having time to sift through racks in storefronts, I turned to online stores to shop for clothes. Soon thereafter – as my mirror was mocking me for my most recent online purchase, an ill-fitting dumpy skirt – it became apparent to me that the current framework for online shopping does not work. It could vastly be improved by adopting emerging technology.
A number of companies are aiming to improve the online shopping experience. For example, True Fit, FITIQUETTE/Myntra.com, and UPcload allow consumers to create avatars based on several questions about their body type and then virtually try on outfits. Although I applaud the effort, the approach isn't progressive enough in my mind.
Why isn't there a Kinect based Xbox shopping app?
I pondered over an interesting intersection of 3D depth sensors and online shopping.I wanted to use the xbox kinect to try on clothes virtually before I bought it. Could this situation have been avoided (or minimized by reducing the frequency at which online clothing purchases are returned) if consumers were able to try on clothes on their actual body scan before purchasing?
Nordstrom Labs has done interesting experiments in collaboration with Styku. Styku stemmed from Microsoft's accelerator program, and aims to pioneer a precise apparel fit and size prediction and visualization platform. Their current solution requires an initial in-store body scan at a storefront. Once consumers' scans have been generated, their measurements are saved to a web-based profile. From that point forward, consumers are able to virtually try on clothing from the comfort of their homes. "Nordstrom appears to be on the cusp of rolling out a similar program but has been hesitant given their sales staff has "expressed difficulty understanding the commission scheme for online sales." "
What we need to understand is that 3D body scanning technology is here. It's here for tablets and it's here for the smartphones. Given it's applications, 3D body scanning technology is only going to get faster, smarter and more efficient. Companies, like 3D-A-PORTER, are working on solutions that seem more viable. On the consumer end, 3D-A-PORTER offers options of body scanning from a booth, computer or iPhone. For the retailers, they offer solutions for 3D scanning of their inventory, virtual try-ons and 3D mirrors.
This seems like a perfect solution for e-commerce retailers who have seemingly been more likely to experiment with technology-based solutions to augment the online shopping experience for consumers. MyHabit (owned by Amazon), for example, currently uses 360 video technology to showcase the fit and drape of most apparel on live models. I think fashion e-commerce retailers would stand to benefit from streamlining efforts to organize a new team that support virtual 3D fitting rooms. A part of this team would develop their websites and apps to integrate virtual try-ons. Another part of the team is focused on 3D scanning clothes and building out their inventory.
I believe this is the near future scenario they must accommodate for to be industry leaders.

Obama Aims at Romney in New AdBy Laura Meckler, Wall Street Journal
With a new TV ad, President Barack Obama's campaign is putting more muscle into its effort to paint Mitt Romney's tenure as Massachusetts governor as a failure on job creation. The Obama campaign began making this case last week with a news conference and a Web video. Now the campaign is out with a TV spot that will run in nine battleground states in what a campaign official called a "significant" purchase of air time.

Mitt Romney Visits Solyndra Headquarters, Knocks President ObamaBy Nia-Malika Henderson, Washington Post
Mitt Romney visited the shuttered headquarters of the bankrupt Solyndra solar energy company Thursday, venturing into the physical heart of his political argument against President Obama's stewardship of the economy. The Republican presidential candidate has repeatedly invoked the failed energy company as evidence of Obama's economic failure and his hostility to the private sector.

Sex Selection Is New Front in Abortion BattleBy Janet Hook, Wall Street Journal
Republicans opened a new front in their battle against abortion Thursday, by calling a House vote on legislation to ban abortions conducted for the purposes of sex selection. But the bill, which would punish doctors who perform sex-selection abortions, failed to pass the House because GOP leaders brought it to a vote under fast-track procedures requiring a two thirds majority. The bill drew a 246-168 majority, but fell short of two thirds.Read More
Obama, Romney Execute Game Plans, Amid DistractionsBy Dan Balz, Washington Post
The narratives are flying at warp speed in the presidential election. Private equity. Public equity. Bain. Solyndra. President Obama undercut by Newark Mayor Cory Booker and ex-governor Ed Rendell. Mitt Romney drowned out by The Donald. What's a person to think? The general election is only a few weeks old. What has happened in those weeks is not insignificant, because of what they say about the directions the two campaigns are heading and the arguments they want to make, rather than because one candidate or the other has seized the temporary advantage.Read More

Mitt Romney Wins the Republican Nomination!By John Dickerson, Slate
Yesterday Mitt Romney crossed the magic threshold of 1,144—the number of delegates he needs to win the GOP nomination. You didn't think you needed a yawn, but there … I've given you a chance to open wide. This is a news-free event—we've known Romney has had it locked up for weeks—but there was a time when this was not considered such an eventuality. Not long ago, who would win the Republican nomination was a hotly contested question, an object of intense speculation, theorizing, and sharp retorts. But then everything fell into place.Read More
Democrats Want a Fighting PresidentBy Janet Hook, Wall Street Journal
Americans increasingly want their presidents to fight for what they believe in rather than seek compromise — and much of the attitude change comes from Democrats, a fresh look at the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News Poll shows.

After ordering American forces to Libya last year, President Obama declared that he had tackled a humanitarian crisis more decisively than his predecessors.

Poland Seeks Stronger Apology after Obama's 'Death Camps' RemarkBy Christi Parsons, Los Angeles Times
The Polish prime minister is demanding a "stronger, more pointed response" from President Obama after he referred to "Polish death camps" during a White House ceremony Tuesday. Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Wednesday that Obama should have made it clear that the death camps were run by Nazis in occupied Poland. White House officials issued a statement expressing "regret" for the reference, but Tusk said he is not completely satisfied by the White House explanation that the president misspoke.Read More
Software Raises Bar for HiringBy David Wessel, Wall Street Journal
n an essay in this newspaper last fall, Peter Cappelli, a professor of management and human resources at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, challenged the oft-heard complaint from employers that they can't find good workers with the right skills. "The real culprits are the employers themselves," he asserted. "It is part of a long-term trend," he adds in an interview, "and the recession caused employers to be able to be pickier, to get even more specific in the skills they think they can find outside the company and to cut back on training."Read More

Mitt Romney and his allies opened a multi-pronged attack Tuesday on President Obama's stewardship of taxpayer dollars, as Romney won the Texas primary and clinched the Republican presidential nomination. Romney garnered at least 88 delegates in the Texas primary, bringing his total past the 1,144 delegates needed to win the nomination, according to an Associated Press count.Read More

Family Care Physician vs. Pediatrician
When it comes to child health care, nobody does it better than pediatricians do it, is that not right? After all, that is what the field of Pediatrics is all about, is it not: the care of children all under the adult age? Have you, however, tried to compare just how well pediatric practitioners take care of infants, kids, and adolescents alike, as compared to how family care physicians do whatever they do? Family care physicians, though not as specialized in the field of medically taking care of children and adolescents as pediatric practitioners are; however, they are still pretty well-trained when it comes t overall family medical care. Keep your eyes on this, as it tries to fully dissect just how pediatricians fare against family care physicians.
Pediatrics and Pediatricians 101
First off, what in the world is the medical branch of Pediatrics all about? It can be assured now that Pediatrics is a specialization, in the sense that pediatric practitioners are solely devoting their times to non-adults. The word Pediatrics itself and its correlated elements actually mean "healer of children". Pediatrics itself is not a specialization—there are further specializations within this branch of medicine (pediatric ophthalmology, pediatric hematology, pediatric dermatology among other pediatric specializations)—which means pediatricians are more of general practitioners, much like how there are general surgeons in hospitals. This does not, however, take away any credentials from these pediatric practitioners.
Compared to many other medical specialties, the specialty of Pediatrics is a relatively new one. This, however, has not stopped it from becoming one of the most well-known and sought after medical specializations in the medical field. The truth that many babies, kids, and adolescent teenagers out there are given extra medical care by parents and other guardians alike makes demand for pediatricians that much more. This, and the fact that some of the best doctors out there in the country are added testaments to just why it became so sought after a medical specialty. Why, there are 38 pediatricians in the list of U.S. News' top doctors in the great city of Atlanta alone. If that does not say anything about just how popular, and not to mention important a medical field Pediatrics has become, there might be little to add to that. To your surprise, however, there is still a lot.
In the United States, being a pediatrician is more of a principal health care physician than anything. That must be brought up because, in the Commonwealth of Nations, being a "paediatrician" (British English spelling), entails you with more of a medical specialist rather than just a general care physician. With regards to the length, or the number of years these hopeful pediatric practitioners learn Pediatrics, the United States requires fewer years of further study for their pediatric practitioners, compared to that of the Commonwealth of Nations' 1 or more extra years of further studying. Regardless of whether you are a pediatric practitioner in the United States or in the Commonwealth of Nations, however, the fact that pediatric practitioners are still regarded as medical experts is a worldwide regard.
The Family Care Physician, The General Practitioner
If anything has to be known about Pediatrics and pediatricians alike, it has been said. Now, however, the question which of whether a family care physician or a pediatrician should be the ones taking care of your children or non-adult family members must be addressed. Though, what are family care physicians? Are they any different from pediatricians, and if so, how and why?
Family care physicians (once called family practitioners but are now more commonly known as family doctors) are basically medical specialists focused on the health and wellbeing of the whole family, regardless of age. May it be an adult, a non-adult, a senior citizen, a teenager or a baby infant, family care physicians may attend to them and will have more or less ample knowledge on how to take medical care of each member of said multi-age ranging family. These family doctors are not bound or restricted by gender, type of disease, or any specific part of the body either. They are, more or less general as general health care practitioners may get.
Family care doctors specialize in the medical branch of primary care, in which's main objective is the total health care of any and all individuals. Primary care may probably one of the oldest medical fields of medicine in the whole history of medical branches. Since medicine in the ancient times was not as specialized as they are nowadays, primary care may actually have been the predominant medical field, if not the only one during its time. This may surely be one of the many reasons—but probably one of the more fundamental—why family care physicians are timeless doctors always requested by families.
They do not shy of being few either. Near Atlanta alone, almost 500 family care physicians are available, more than half of that number, maybe, are actually from Atlanta. The objective of these family care doctors or physicians is to provide more individual, and personal health care, geared towards the family, and at the largest, a small community. It is because of this fact that they are more known to the general public as "knowledgeable yet compassionate"—the general practitioner.
This is primarily one of the reasons why these family care doctors are so closely related to and compared with pediatricians. The fact that they are knowledgeable with what to do medically with children makes them candidates for taking care of children in the family, at times, even more than pediatricians. That being said, pediatric practitioners are still the more logical choice to medically take care of baby infants, kids and children, and teenage adolescents. There are a couple of very good reasons as to why.
Specialty Beats Generality
Though a lot family care physicians are very well-educated in the methods of how to properly take care of all types of individuals in the family, babies, children and teenagers not being exceptions, when it really comes down to it, specialty always trumps general knowledge of things.
When a baby coughs, a family care physician may diagnose it as a common cough, whereas a pediatric practitioner may see a completely different diagnosis. Where a family care physician may see only a small, seemingly insignificant wound, despite already taking into account the possibilities of any internal causes, a pediatrician would not take any chances and always assume any and all possibilities of everything about the wound. The cold, hard truth may really be that medical specialty will always be chosen over general practice.
Having medically specialized practitioners taking great care for the ultimate healthy wellbeing of your children would never be too much to ask. Would you not want someone who studied for a little over 10 years taking care of your child? This is the reason why pediatricians study and learn all there is to know about Pediatrics the way they do—to be able to offer all non-adults and provide them with the best possible medical health care they can possibly give. These pediatric practitioners studying extra years after already so many years of studying is worth it for them, for as long they get to give everything they have learned in service. In addition, an Atlanta pediatrician is screened by the Georgia Medical Board in order to get licensed for practice and only the best qualify.
This truth does not diminish anything from family care physicians. If anything, it only makes their professions and positions all the more admirable. Where there is the medical specialty of medically taking care of children in the form of the pediatric practitioners, they can only go so far as have a complete knowledge about their specified medical field. Family health care doctors may know general things, but they certainly know more about the other members of the family compared to that of the pediatric practitioners. It really finally depends on which purpose you would want a family care physician or a pediatrician for. Given all of this, however, it will probably already be clear to you whom you would choose, should either medical practitioner's expertise come more required from you.
If you still think that it matter whether you pick a pediatrician or a family care physician, the ultimate answer really lies within yourself. If you believe that there is not that much a difference between these two medically able practitioners, then either one of them taking care of you or your children would be fine. But to make things very clear, here is the bottom line: family care physicians are very different from pediatricians. Generality and specialty will always be different from each other. All you have to decide upon is whether you would need or really require generality, or specialty.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - As children around Florida head back to school, the toughest requirements of the state's contested class size amendment will go into effect.
The start of the new school year this week means districts will be required to meet strict limits on the number of students in core classes. Pre-k through third grade classes can have no more than 18 students. There will be a 22 student limit for grades four through eight, and a 25 student limit in high school classes.
Previously, class size averages were calculated at the schoolwide level.
The Florida School Boards Association plans to file a lawsuit challenging penalties for not meeting the state's class size requirements. Voters will decide in November whether to keep limits at the schoolwide average.

Good Questions: How Do I Hide The Plug?
Hello AT,
I recently moved into a new apartment. There is a huge plain wall in
the kitchen that needs some color. I'm not allowed to paint, so I
bought some fun, colorful artwork (that goes well with my bright
Here's my problem...I have many oddly placed outlets in the middle of my walls. If I hang my paintings so the middles falls at 57" like I want to, the outlet annoyingly sticks out from the bottom of the painting...
Email questions and pics with QUESTIONS in subject line to:
Link To All Good Questions
I tried some other combinations, but just don't like them as much. Any suggestions and/or advice?
Sorry about the photos...You have to use your imagination a little. I have yet to frame the paintings. And the magazine page is supposed to represent the clock that will be going there.
Thanks in advance for your advice! -Steph
This is how I would like to hang the paintings and clock, but the
outlet is in the way.
If I include the clock in the grouping and hang the group at 57", the
paintings seem too low.
Another Solution A
Another Solution B
Here's the clock that will be going on the wall.
Dear Steph,
This is a really frustrating one, and one we've dealt with before. While there is no perfect solution except moving the electrical box, we would vote for solution A and replacing the switch plate with a white one OR painting over it to match the wall.
In this situation your goal is to camouflage the plugs to blend in with the wall as much as possible. Do a good job and they really won't bother you so much.
Anyone else?

Go vertical
Try hanging a colorful table runner right below them, tacking with a straightpin or flat-headed pushpin underneath the lip of your paintings. You can even swag it and give it a bit of visual interest :) Good luck!
Tough problem.
Have you decided on frames for the art? If the frames/matte are wide/thick enough - it could change the way you hang the art.
If your frame choice is thick and beveled/angled - it might give you some clearance for the outlet.
Also, taking a closer look at your art - the one with the orange fruit on it looks like it has an outlet coming out of the piece of fruit. How ironic - perhaps that should be the piece you display in the middle aboce the outlet!
I vote for "another solution b."
Another thing you can look into is to create an "island" for the artworks. Buy a sheet of masonite large enough to cover the ground behind all three pieces, paint it a color and attach it to the wall. Then, to the masonite attach the artwork. The only downside is the loss of the outlet...
use larger frames and mattes
if you don't need to use the outlet, you can cover it with a plain plate -- very cheap at the hardware store, and no permanent change to the outlet. Not perfect, but better than that outlet.
just switch it back to an outlet plate when you leave...
i agree with maxwell, replace the switch plates with white ones. after all this is a kitchen, and we expect to see a certain level of hardware and technology in this area of the house.
you can't paint? damn!
I like "another solution B", too, which better integrates the clock into the grouping and solves the outlet problem.
Cool clocks and pretty pictures, too!
I was going to suggest the island idea as well, you could also do one large frame with 3 matte cutouts.
If you want to psint, I say go ahead and DO it! Seems like MOST apartment dwellers are not "allowed" to paint but do it anyway... hey, it's your home, & ya gotta live, right?!
uh, I meant PAINT... but I suspect a landlord wouldn't want a tenant to PSINT either,:)
this is one of those questions that brings us back to the the age old phrase 'rules are meant to be broken'
option A---- break the 'rule' hang the paintings 3 inches lower, no one will ever take out a yard stick at opne of your dinner parties.
option B- a chunky picture ledge/shelf that covers MOST of the switch plate, and the painting will cover the rest.
option c- one of those blank covers that have been mentioned above.... but you will see a cover.
I too am not allowed to paint under my lease. So my solution - I painted. The landlord hasn't seen the apt. yet since I painted. Just keeping the fingers crossed. I figure the worst that will happen is I have to paint it back. Depends on where you live - if you are in a highly-regulated rental market like NYC or SF, you probably can get away with it.
Your other option is too put a colorful gilded, carved empty frame around the outlet!
I would put one long rectangular backdrop behind the three art pieces. Fabric, stretched on a frame or not -- Mdf -- Framing mat? Let about 4-5 inches of backdrop extend past the outer edges of your picture grouping. It'll look like you planned it!
Thanks so much for the ideas! Now I'll have to decide what I want to do. Yeah, I can't paint. I mean I guess I could, but I'm too afraid to. I live in one of six apartments in a beautiful, old victorian house. The owner is SUPER picky. I'm lucky I can hang things. I have to use a certain kind of picture hanger to hang anything. Unfortunately when something happens (like a leak under the sink), they are the ones who come and fix it, so there'd be no hiding anything. I love the place and wouldn't want to create any bad blood...I'd really like to stay here for a while. I guess I'll have to come up with some creative solutions.
I have a similar outlet, right in the middle of a kitchen wall. I cut out the back of a shadow box and hung it over the outlet. When I need to use the outlet I just open the door. When I'm not using it I keep plastic outlet covers in it, just in case.
I have the exact same problem. I came up with a couple different solutions : a) put a narrow console table against the wall and create an arrangement out of the three framed paintings on the console table so as to cover the outlet. This makes accessing the outlet really easy. B) Have the pictures framed in deep shadowbox style frames with the art and matte flush to the glass. This should leave you with enough room for the outlet. It would be seamless in appearance but could be a hassle if you need to access the plug on a regular basis. Kelly's suggestion is great but I could never find a shadowbox with a door that was the right size. I used some premanufactured deep 16 X 20 frames from aaron brothers and had them do the matting. Option 3 would be to ask the landlord/owner if you could have the plug moved at your expense using his/her preferred electrician and handyman. As long as the work could be done to the landlords satisfaction and they don't have to pay, I don't really see the request as outrageous. They may say no, but no harm in asking - its the best solution if you can swing it.
depending on the height of the outlet, you may be able to put a shelf just above it to set the paintings on, and at a normal viewing angle, you wouldn't notice the outlet just under the shelf...
I like Claudia B.s idea of stretching fabric over a frame then hanging art on that. If you don't frame the pictures the fabric bulletin board should hold them up. You may also put less holes in the wall just hanging a big, light weight fabric bulletin board.
Get a big frame - and I mean BIG - then put all three pictures in it with lots of space between and around them - make sure the frame is big enough that you can hang it where you want it but it covers the outlet - problem solved!
Just lower the art - most art is hung too high. Viewer is supposed to have it below eye level. Frames will help.
Get some plain white switchplate covers, glue frames around them, and make little mini paintings that match your existing paintings.
Move the table over so that it's under the outlet, and plug in some appliances. And hang the pictures higher.
Having lived in Edwardian houses, I would be so grateful for those outlets. So, I'd be thinking about ways to use them.
1.You could have a self-contained water cascade that hides the outlets, and have the perfect power source for it. Your art could include the water feature, especially if the cascade had illumination in it. By changing the color of the bulb, if incandescant, you change the mood projected by the entire gallery.
2. IKEA may have some inexpensive picture lightes that could illuminate your fun prints--hung vertically. To make the color accent wall feature go floor to ceiling, I would take the primary color of the top and bottom pictures and, using fabric or paint two wallboard with those 1/4" holes with the same width framing you use for the pictures. By adjusting the height of the top and bottom frames, your vertical gallery could go floor to ceiling, if that's the look you seek. I would look for another wall for the clock, because it's too interesting (it changes!) and takes the eye off the artwork.
3. If you were to use acrylic, no border frames-very inexpensive--then a bolt of fabric, solid primary color or white linen, etc, attached from the ceiling to the floor, so that your pictures float on the fabric. If you don't need the outlet, then Guido's suggestion would allow you to hide the outlet better, behind the fabric.
I painted my walls, against the rules, and when the landlord saw the colors and the quality of work, he was impressed and did not require me to paint them white when I moved out. (Personalities are the playing field for ignoring rules. As has been pointed out, it is your home for which you pay money to occupy and that may require restoring to the "as rented" condition at the end of your lease. My soapbox!
Have fun with your decorating! It takes confidence to ask for help, so let your imagination loose and create something you really like seeing every morning.
There are switchplate covers that are more discrete than what you've got now. They still make the outlet usable, but cover up the round outlet plug in. All you see are small slits where the metal prongs go. They are white plastic, but are paintable.
Try as I might, I can't find a photo of one online. I bought some at Lowes for about $3.50

The 2013 NFL Supplemental Draft was held via e-mail at 1:00 p.m. ET today with six eligible players. The potential draft picks entered the draft with plenty of baggage and concerns about their game, so it comes as no surprise that no team was comfortable forfeiting a 2014 draft pick to select one of the prospects.
With that, the supplemental draft came and went without a single player being picked.
The players will now become free agents.
If you are looking for the scoop on the six players that were eligible for today's draft, here is a brief summary of each prospect:
James Boyd, defensive end, UNLV
Height/Weight: 6-foot-5, 255 pounds
Boyd is a very raw player that has never worked out on the college level. He has intriguing tools, but teams will have ask themselves if he is worth the risk. When you consider that he couldn't break through at UNLV against lesser competition, it is hard to see a team willing to forfeit a 2014 draft pick for a player as raw as Boyd.
Nate Holloway, defensive tackle, UNLV
Height/Weight: 6-foot-3, 365 pounds
Holloway enters the supplemental draft after leaving UNLV for "undisclosed reasons". Holloway showed flashes of potential during his first two years at UNLV, but academics brought his career to a halt as he was never able to return to the field. While he has intriguing NFL size, the lack of playing time and film on Holloway will lead him to the undrafted ranks. Some team could consider bringing him on board for a camp body, but it's hard to see him breaking through and finding a place on a regular-season roster or practice squad.
Toby Jackson, defensive end, Central Florida
Height/Weight: 6-foot-5, 257 pounds
Jackson was academically ineligible for his senior season. Jackson is a former Georgia Bulldogs recruit, but academics stopped him from being eligible to enroll in the university. He then made the move to Georgia Military College and Navarro College, but academics continued to haunt the player. Jackson made his way to UCF where the team still believed he could make an impact, but he failed to qualify for his senior season after a lackluster junior campaign. Jackson did hold a workout on Monday, but it won't be enough to interest teams after having basically no real college experience.
DeWayne Peace, wide receiver, Houston
Height/Weight: 5-foot-11, 190 pounds
Peace is another player that was academically ineligible. Peace's road to the supplemental draft began in junior college before ultimately splashing on to the scene with the Houston Cougars. Despite being the team's leading receiver last season, Peace could not stay atop the depth chart during spring ball. His lack of size and physicality will hurt him in the eyes of NFL scouts and the three-game suspension for violations of team rules won't help him one bit. However, there is a chance that Peace could be worth a training camp spot.
O.J. Ross, wide receiver, Purdue
Height/Weight: 5-foot-10, 188 pounds
Ross is one of the most talented players in the supplemental draft class, but there are major red flags after he has been suspended twice by Purdue. If there is a team desperate to add bodies at wide receiver, Ross could be worth a late-round pick. Ross was one of the most exciting playmakers in the Big Ten last season and he made some waves the year before, but the most recent suspension put his status for 2013 in jeopardy. Instead of sticking it out in the college ranks, Ross decided to make the jump and see if he could make a move in the NFL. Ross is probably the most likely player to warrant a selection and camp spot.
Damond Smith, defensive back, South Alabama
Height/Weight: 5-foot-11, 181 pounds
Smith has generated plenty of interest from NFL teams and likely would have already been on an NFL roster if he had been more responsible. The Green Bay Packers were hoping to sign Smith as an undrafted free agent after the 2013 NFL Draft, but he failed to complete his paperwork and was not eligible to be signed. Smith also has two major red flags on his record that include a fight with a teammate and a reported failed drug test. The physical skill set is definitely there, but with the focus on high character players it will be interesting to see if anyone forfeit's a 2014 draft pick to pick up a player that will surely get a chance in camp.

This blog is kind of embarrassing, but I'll keep it around because I had fun here.
I'm alive, btw.
Please Unfollow:
We'll be recycling this blog for another use so please unfollow, thank you!
((guys I feel really conflicted because people I used to RP with are going to runeyhigh and some of the ones I'm following are going there
Jill shook Yuri's hand. "I'm Jill. Nice to meet you, Yuri." Jill nodded. "Oh, okay that's fine." She glanced at the sketchbook. "So, uh, what are you drawing?"
Shaking her hand firmly, she nodded in acknowledgement. "….Jill, hmm. Suppose it's nice… to meet you as well…" her voice faded away, not knowing exactly what to say.
"……Umm.." Yuri felt a bit hesitant to show her the contents of her sketchbook, but she supposed it wouldn't hurt. Flipping the book easily open, she settled on one of her latest fashion designs, one that looked distinctly like Orland's foreign elf clothing.
"……It's not finalized yet but…" she hesitated for a moment and sighed, "….I suppose it'll have to do."
Jill wondered… if she had said something wrong? She looked back at the sketchbook and crouched over to see it closer. "Hey that reminds me of this little boy here!" She said brightly. "And that one teacher. They resemble each other, don't the?" The design made Jill think of fairy tales. "What?! This is a sketch? I… can't say I have those skills yet. Oh, it's a wonderful design. Do you plan on making it one day?"
open :)
Celia walked down the hall trying to get to her dorm. However, she had changed rooms and was quite lost. Groaning miserably, she leaned her head back against the wall. She took a glance at the paper once more and sighed. Stuffing the paper into her shoulder bag, she looked down the seemingly never-ending hallway. Sitting down with her back towards the wall, she rested her head on her knees and sighed frustratingly.
Jill disliked change. She missed all the people and when things suddenly changed, she feared she might fall and trip and get left behind. Lugging her schoolbag along with her, she sighed and tried to find her new dorm. She probably wasn't anywhere near it, though. The paper said Kardia, but what's that supposed to mean? Jill figured if she wandered aimlessly around the dorms, she'd end up there or someone might help her. She turned a corner and noticed Celia. She hadn't seen her since that one time in English class, which was… actually the only time she had seen her. Jill walked up to her excitedly, but stopped noticing her frustration. "Celia…? Uh, if you're like me, I don't think sitting like that will help. Unless you're like, resting or something. I guess thinking might do more than being aimless." She sighed and brushed herself. She felt like she was now just talking to herself. "What dorm are you anyway?"
"Runeyhigh Reboot" is NOT HMHSAU
Hello everyone, we just wanted to make a post to clear up any confusion about the Runeyhigh Reboot group and HMHSAU… No, we have nothing to do with Runeyhigh 2.0 and we're sorry about the inactivity here. There was a lot of hard work put into HMHSAU and we don't want all of the countless hours spent on this place to just die off in vain, so we've left this place open to those of you who are still here.
We're not ready to get things moving again because there's a lot of things on our plates, but perhaps after the busy Christmas-season is over and done with… Things can pick up again? (I know quite a few of the Moderators have jobs and are currently working crazy hours, so it's a bit hard to pull through everything as just one person.) But for now, feel free to keep playing here and maybe send in your own suggestions for when we can finally fix everything?
Okay good because original mod was veery vague on that and I was worried you guys might not come back
((I had a dream that one of the mods came back but I guess not ;w;
This Clutz
"Wonder where everyone is…" Jill muttered to herself as she made her way about the library with a stack of books in her arms. A day where she had nothing to do, or rather, wanted to do something else from what she intended, and Jill decided to help the at the library. Right now, she had been picking up and sorting books that had been misplaced. She came up to a bookshelf and took the book on top to place according to the Dewy Decimal System, while balancing something like 12 other books on her left hand. Yet, the shelf was too high, and the books in her other hand had lost their balance, along with her. On impulse, she stepped onto the bottom shelf and successfully placed the one book in it's proper place, but like the books she had still had in her hand, she fell. "Darn it…" Jill rubbed her head where a book hit her and placed a hand on the ground. She had expected a book, but instead, there was a shoe. Jill looked up and found herself in an awkward position. Above her was someone she hadn't met, and hadn't noticed all the time she was in the library. "Sorry…" She whispered, just barely enough to be heard. Jill quickly sat up and collected the books on the ground, but then hit her head on the shelf. "Tch…"
((okay, so I think I'll post an open later, maybe after I shower or tomorrow, but also know I am developing Jill some more .u. I noticed that only a handful of the same people have been relatively active compared to the rest of the group but I just wanna say that it would be totally awesome if anyone wants to rp with Jill so like if you want an open or would be willing to start an rp just like or reply. I'll also be replying to some of you people I owe .3. kay peace))

This conversation is closed.
Are we debating too many things?
There are A LOT of threads!
Are there too many to get anything really substantial out of it, are we "watering out" the Conversations by having to many of them?
Yes: Fewer threads would mean more devotion to the ones that are really important.
No: People should be able to discuss anything they want (with boundaries) on conversations and we need a wide range to get people talking, everything is important!
Topics: TED Conversations
Sargis B.Apr 3 2011: I would suggest a thread minimizing system because some posts get tons of replies which automatically drown the other posts which might be as important and informative.
A more efficient categorizing system for discussions would be nice, as well, but most importantly, a notification system to let users know when a thread gets responses. Otherwise we'll eventually not be able to keep track of all the discussions we've posted in, which will quite naturally create inconsistency and confusion. Annoyance will start to grow, as well.
2 Cents
Apr 3 2011: Just joined a few seconds ago... I think no. We need more thinkers. More talking is better than less talking. I am thinking locally and globally where people in my area seem to not care and people in other countries aren't allowed to debate.
Just make sure no one is posting pron links in the threads. Bad Trolls. Bad.
Apr 3 2011: Hi Daniel, It's wonderful that you've found your way to TED, welcome friend!
We don't really get trolls here on TED so no worries.
Would you care to share your opinion once again in 12-13 days when you've had some more experience of the discussions at TED? I think it might change...
Edit:You are of course welcome to comment the thread sooner if you wish, I did not mean to discourage you!
Apr 4 2011: Jimmy, don't forget that not everybody participates in all debates. Everybody picks what he finds interesting and is able to manage.
So no, there shouldn't be any limits to the # of threads.
What we need however, is a search tool that helps us find what we are looking for.
(key words, date posted, length of discussion, number of posts, etc)
Apr 3 2011: Have you really opened another debate, on whether we have too many debates? :)
Who decides which conversations are important? I don't think everything is important, and some things are important to some people and not to others. I'm comfortable making that decision for myself and I suspect others are too.
I would like to be able to remove conversations from 'My Conversations'. I'd also like a posting index number or time/date on the posts so a specific one could be referenced and/or searched.
Apr 3 2011: I don't know... I think I open perhaps one per day in average, but that differs a lot!
I don't know what the average is either, but it is not the question.
I'll try to rephrase:
The question is, do you feel overwhelmed and unfocused because of the sheer amount of discussions that there are? (or see above)
I think numbers have little to do with it.
