Regarding the June 2002 issue, page 8, trivia question 1—please lay this myth to rest. Yes, Grace Hopper did find a moth in a relay. That log page is now in the Smithsonian Institute, I believe. But "bug" in the current sense has been around since Thomas Edison's days. See www.byte.com/art/9404/sec15/art1.htm and/or www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/bug.html.

Editor's note: The following Letter to the Editor came to us written by hand on a sheet of yellow legal pad paper.
From the Desks of Adrian and Mike: We understand that yours is a magazine that would like to appeal to Linux enthusiasts. Therefore, we have some suggestions regarding your fluffy layout:
Use fixed-sized, monospaced font throughout the entire publication. All pictures must be represented as ASCII art or PostScript files, and there must be no color. You've got black; you've got white. What more do you need?
The cover should not contain anything but the title and the date.
The binding should be staples and not glue, which is bad for the environment and embarrassingly corporate.
All type must be printed with high-impact printers to give each page a unique and profound texture.
You should change the name of your magazine from Linux Journal to Linux Kernel and, under no circumstances, write about anything that is not a part of or that cannot be directly compiled into the kernel.
There is no need to use English for all the articles. C and Bourne shell scripts are languages much more recognized by the global Linux community.
We could go on for pages but feel strongly that if you just covered the first 6, just a half a dozen honest, down-to-earth and from-the-heart suggestions, your circulation would multiply by a factor of ten (we know we would by ten issues each month just cause they were that cool); your revenues would skyrocket, never mind the inherent irony about the relationship between your capitalist intentions and the brilliant and revolutionary open-source model that Linux embraces, and, not to mention, we'd buy you beer.
—Adrian and Mike
On a whim I was reading Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin today. I was struck by how, at the time, abolitionists were considered socially destructive extremists—and the South's reflexive reaction was censorship. The essence of freedom is freedom of thought and creativity, bounded by essential (not submissive!) respect for others. I believe that, perhaps in 50 years, perhaps 2,000 years, but with the same certainty that humanity will survive, intellectual property will come to be regarded with the same revulsion and embarrassment as human beings as property.
—Stephen Schaefer
The Linux for Suits column, "The Protocol Problem", by Doc Searls in the July 2002 issue of Linux Journal, was of interest to me because it is an issue that I think we are seeing several major issues start to develop around. There seems to be an overwhelming amount of "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" mentality going around, at least insofar as trying to put nearly the entire world on top of IP—this is only making, what Doc Searls referred to as "the gating factor", worse.
As technology develops, the lower layers of the technology become more and more abstracted and hidden from the upper layers. Right now, it is doubtful if many people care or concern themselves with whether their IP packets ride over fiber or copper, the particular framing or link-level protocols being used, etc. Because we can connect fiber and copper and wireless networks together, we are not limited by the individual mediums.
Eventually, this is what is going to have to happen with IP and any other protocols occupying this space—the "end-to-end (network) protocol" mentality must give way to the "end-to-end application" mentality. One day, eventually, the IP network will be replaced by something else. It's going to happen—but the general mentality seems to be that an IP network must be IP end to end. Building for that, designing for that, that attitude will slow down the deployment of any future protocol technology...like IPv6.
One day, just as most people do not care whether their data are going end-to-end over a particular physical media (as long as the desired quality of service parameters are met), they will not care about the network protocol. When data networks are not an "IP-only" club where only IP through-and-through networks can play, but a true inter-net (as opposed to the current IP Internet, which is more of a giant shared-address space Intranet) where the intra-net protocols may all be different, then the barriers will be gone. Organizations will be freer to develop and deploy new protocols and technologies internally without getting ostracized by their peers for being different.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Skip to comments.Bill Nye the Science Guy says creationism not good for kids
Posted on 08/28/2012 3:39:34 AM PDT by rickmichaels
Scientist and childrens television personality Bill Nye, in a newly released online video, panned biblical creationism and implored American parents who reject the scientific theory of evolution not to teach their beliefs to their youngsters.
I say to the grownups, If you want to deny evolution and live in your world thats completely inconsistent with everything weve observed in the universe thats fine. But dont make your kids do it, said Nye, best known as host of the educational TV series Bill Nye the Science Guy.
The video, titled Creationism Is Not Appropriate for Children, was posted on Thursday by the online knowledge forum Big Think to YouTube and had netted more than 1.3 million views as of Monday.
In it Nye said widespread public doubt in the scientific concept of evolution which holds that human beings and all other forms of life developed from a process of random genetic mutation and natural selection would hinder a country long renowned for its innovation, intellectual capital and a general grasp of science.
When you have a portion of the population that doesnt believe in (evolution) it holds everybody back, really, he said.
According to a Gallup poll that surveyed 1,012 adults in May, 46 percent of Americans can be described as creationists for believing that God created humans in their present form at some point within the last 10,000 years.
Education advocates have argued for decades over what children should be taught in public schools in regard to the formation of the universe, life and humans.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1987 that requiring biblical creation to be taught in public schools alongside evolution was unconstitutional as a violation of the First Amendment separation between church and state.
In April, a law was passed that protects teachers in Tennessee who wish to critique or analyze what they view as the scientific weaknesses of evolution, making it the second state, after Louisiana, to enable teachers to more easily espouse alternatives to evolution in the classroom.
Nye said that while many adults may believe in creationism, children should be taught evolution in order to understand science. Absent a grasp of evolution, he said, Youre just not going to get the right answers. And he called evolution the fundamental idea in all of life science, in all of biology.
Teaching children the building blocks of science is essential for the countrys future, he added, saying, We need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future.
Nyes popular show, produced by Disneys Buena Vista Television, aired from September 1993 to June 1998 on PBS and was also syndicated to local television stations.
So, we are to take child rearing advice from someone who has no kids, has never raised kids and can only stay married very briefly.... ok, that will work, NOT!
Yet so many scientists I have read over the many years I've been on this planet say that science reinforces their belief in creationism. Go figure!
I know of a life long school science teacher who started out as a militant atheist many years ago, but actually became a Christian as a result of trying to disprove God. He later made a life ministry out of apologetics work.
I don't know what Nye is bitching about
Our govt schools and institutions are shrines to Darwinism
The Smithsonian Museum, our "national" natural history umusuem, is a one-sided exhibit to ape-ism
Raising children to be "scientifically literate taxpayers" sounds like good little robots, doesn't it? What a rewarding life

That pattern worked for him, right? He would not have the public voice that he has if he were to deny the Liberal gods.
The details are beyond all of us, and thus no one who is intellectually honest and sufficiently thoughtful would be smug about what we know, and what we understand scientifically. The fossil record is intriguing, and yes there were dinosaurs and human predecessors, but how does any of that answer the question 'why do we or anything exist'?
To believe that the totality of the known universe 'just happened' and that there is no 'meaning' to anything is as intellectually vacuous as any position one could possibly hold. It is, in essence, more anti-intellectual than the most ardent opponent of evolution could ever be legitimately accused of, but it is nonetheless the position that many 'intellectuals' hold.
Bill, from someone who worked 14+ years in newborn ICU, every mutation I ever saw was bad. Guess how many fingers I'm holding up and which one.
In it Nye said widespread public doubt in the scientific concept of evolution which holds that human beings and all other forms of life developed from a process of random genetic mutation and natural selection would hinder a country long renowned for its innovation, intellectual capital and a general grasp of science.
Well Bill we (America) got to be the greatest Nation in the world with a steady belief in God and if we want to continue to be the best Nation, I think we had netter make sure out children understand how we got here.
Probably a rainbow soldier.
Actually, it holds that all life evolved from a universal common ancestor. A belief that has a mathematical possibility of roughly one in infinity (see Infinite Monkey Theorem)
I know of a life long school science teacher who started out as a militant atheist many years ago, but actually became a Christian as a result of trying to disprove God.
While I wouldn't characterize myself as a militant atheist or trying to disprove the existence of God, after completing a biology degree, it became obvious to me that there is A Creator.
Neversaw his show.
It's amazing that people think they know better than the Bible.
The pride involved is one thing.
These people are usually remarkably boring.
We like Alton Brown's "Good Eats" in our house. He puts science to good use and he is very amusing.
And he doesn't seem to think his popularity is cause to announce his world view.
Mind your own business, turkey.
Galileo, the most profound philosopher of his age, when questioned by the Roman Inquisition as to his belief in the existence of God, replied, pointing to a straw on the floor of his dungeon, that from the structure of that object alone he would infer with certainty the existence of an intelligent Creator.
Rev. Walter Baxendale, 1888
Dictionary of anecdote, incident, illustrative fact, Page 259
Let's see, who should we believe..... Bill Nye or Galileo?
Bill needs to stay tending his veggie patch:
A lot of what passes for "science education" on PBS appears to me to be little more than indocrination of children to respect authority, which at its base, is the antithesis of science.
"The Universe is very, very old. We know this because very smart people say so." Which conditions you to accept dogma about Wal*Mart and Obama from your teachers.
Also: Galileo got into a dust up with the Church. Galileo was no more correct scientifically than the church, but ignore that and claim he had The Truth, which Proves that Very Smart People (i.e., teachers) know more than religous leaders, about everything.
Absolutely. There isn't much harm in a small number of individuals who believe the metaphorical creation stories of Genesis are literal accounts from 6,000 years ago--but when there are enough such people that they can force laws to be passed mandating teaching religion in lieu of science in science classrooms, there is a problem. We cannot keep our scientific edge when people are not only scientifically illiterate, but cling tooth and nail to that illiteracy.
So, you think the world is the center of the universe and the sun revolves around it instead of the other way around? Galileo said that the earth revolves around the sun and that is correct. Galileo was correct and the church imprisoned him for it.
Bill must be pushing for a job at the re-education camp.
I don't personally know anyone like that but they usually end up being some of the most powerful advocates of God and are really good at spreading the Word - our God can withstand scrutiny and does not require us to go on jihad to protect His good name - He's not one of those pitiful Gods...
Time for Bill D Nye to get a real job rather than Nationalist Socialist TV. Hey Bill, where's your proof?
Pray for America
There are many such life stories out there.
It seems that their militant atheism simply comes from a childish rebellion, though they claim it to be based on "reason".
However, when they actually engage in the intellectual exercise of investigation into "disproving" God and His Word, they end up finding rationally irrefutable evidence that either it is true, or nothing is true.
Schaefer referred to this thinking as "sociological science", in that, when "choosing" which explanation fits the evidence, the chooser puts more emphasis on the sociological impacts than on the evidence.
We're living the sociological impacts, today, of rejecting Creationism (man is a special creation made in God's image and is inherently worthy of respect), vs Evolution (humans are an accident of mutation, time, and environment, and are no more special than any other creature on the planet).
I point out the sociological impacts of evolution only to show those like Nye who claim a sociological superiority of evolutionary thinking that they are responsible for the social mess that we are in.
Pope Urban VI asked some very reasonable questions about the treatment of tides in manuscript of Dialogue. Galileo told him he would clear it up in the print edition. Galileo put the Pope's question in the mouth of the doltish character Simplico, only to have them swatted aside dismissively by the the wise interlocutor, Salvati. It is embarassment to Galileo's supporters that he exhibits absolutely no understanding of the mechanism of tides, the Pope's question was reasonable, Galileo's answer was not.
Galileo was something of a hot head and a contraversalist. When his enemies accused him of heresy he might have counted on support from the Pope, but the Pope let the trial go on.
A further embarassment is that Galileo did not understand the details of either Copernican nor Ptolemaic astronomy. As Owen Gingerich points out ("The Eye of God" - read it) Copernican astronomy does not represent any improvement over Ptolemaic as a scientific theory. In a sense it is somewhat retrograde: Its appeal lies in the fact that Copernicus could obey the Aristolean dictum that planetary motion must be resolved into uniform circular motions. Copernicus achieved this, but only at a cost of greater complexity and, at best, no more accuracy.
Koestler ("The Sleepwalkers") thinks that heliocentricist in the Vatican (and he believes Jesuits were overwhelmingly heliocentricist) were alarmed by Galileo's hamfisted and half cocked advocacy of heliocentricism. Sort of like the way a pro-lifer might be alarmed by the pronouncements of Rep. Akins.
It's nice to know the I am not scientifically literate after undergrad degrees in biology and general science, a doctorate, and 3 years of post grad education. Now if I only bought into the poorly supported and falling apart theory of evolution I could have saved all that time and expense and immediately qualified as a scientist. Who knew?
Guess I better not help college daughter with her organic chemistry any more being as I'm not scientifically literate and all. Maybe she can find a first grader who was taught the TOE to help her
Bill Nye has observed macro-evolution? You'd think with that kind of proof, he wouldn't have to do schtick for Disneyworld rides.....
Oh, wait...he HASN'T observed a species turn into another species? Well. No wonder he still has to do bow tie crap.
I believe this garbage is being introduced the week of the Republican convention on purpose....these questions have NOTHING to do with the state of the economy and Obamugabe's mismanagement thereof....
But look at CBS News right now...at 8:45 am, that pathetic network has Bill Nye on LIVE pushing his pro-evolution point of view. What a shock.
Well Bill, I've worked in aerospace for 40 years, and most of the best and brightest were either educated in Catholic schools, or in a Jewish household.
Having their formative years, steeped in a belief in creation did not stifle their scientific curiosity.
It does, however, ground them in the concepts of purpose and consequence.
However, I'll bet Bill Nye is just fine with allowing Muslims to teach their children that all non-Muslims are infidels and need to be destroyed.
Galileo got imprisoned for being a smart ass to the pope. He wasn't very "politic" and it got him into trouble. I've read that the church officials at the time weren't necessarily against Galileo's notion, but he challenged the church's authority and the leadership's reputations. In the end it was Galileo's pride verses the pope's pride and in the end all of the people at the time lost!
When you have a portion of the population that doesnt believe in (God) it holds everybody back, really.
I am a scientist and a devout Christian.
It is interesting to look at the distribution of believers among scientists. The harder the science, the more likely the belief in God. Those in the social "sciences" are the least likely to believe in God. They are also the least likely to be considered real scientists.
I wonder what right answers Nye might be concerned about? Are these to questions concerning human behavior and accountability. We've tried the evolutionary answers for the better part of the past century and all we have to show for these right answers are moral apathy, confusion, cultural rot and a potpourri of half-baked belief systems.
In it Nye said widespread public doubt in the scientific concept of evolution which holds that human beings and all other forms of life developed from a process of random genetic mutation and natural selection would hinder a country long renowned for its innovation, intellectual capital and a general grasp of science.
When you have a portion of the population that doesnt believe in (evolution) it holds everybody back, really, he said.
Oh sure. We'd never have invented stuff like the steam engine, the telephone, and the light bulb if we had all believed that God created living things like the Bible says.
Say, Bill, what's your view on AGW and the 'scientific method' used to develop the models?
I'm sad to hear this because I thought he had an excellent TV show. I hope he opens his heart and mind to faith.
I've been told by several atheists that they are confident there is no such thing as God because they cannot see, hear, taste, smell, or touch Him. I ask them if by the same reasoning they believe there is no such thing as love.
I would bet, that as a whole, children who are taught Creationism are also taught the theory of evolution.
It would be interesting to see the test scores [relative to the theory of evolution] of children with a knowledge of Creationism vs. those without.
I read your words. They are one sided. The angelic church and the hot headed ignorant Galileo. Hmmmm. The facts are Galileo was right. The church was wrong. Those are the facts and no matter how you/church wish to manipulate them, they remain. It is/was immoral what the church did to that man. The pope did not show the mercy, love or patience of Christ. He showed what he truly was and that was a prideful spiteful man.
Wow! With so much knowledge packed into one post, I can't wait to see the reply from the other poster.
Thank you for a well researched and presented answer.
BTW, Martin Luther was adamantly opposed to heliocentricism (he had read some early papers by Copernicus, prior to the release of De Revolutionibus) and condemned it as heresy. Copernicus was a Roman Catholic Cannon, about equal in rank to a Monsiegnor. The Roman Church was indifferent to heliocentricism, until Galileo made a fuss about it and had De Revolutionibus added to the Index. Again, like Akin on abortion, Galileo's hamfisted proclamations gave the geocentricists power they never would have had otherwise.
Many of the people in my area believe in creationism, so I am also teaching my kids about ID, even a little about Genesis, although I dont endorse it, I think it would be nice for him to know.
It hasn't hurt him one bit, and he "gets" it. I can't see how its harmful. So bill nye is being stupid.
I still dont care for Creationism to be taught in public schools, though it probably deserves a mention.
Well..let's see if belief in evolution is really important to the understanding of science by looking at some notable scientific accomplishments.
Landing on the moon, development of the internet, the discovery of sub-atomic particles, landing machines on Mars.....belief in evolution played no part in these scientific, technological accomplishments...no part.
Going back a bit.... Understanding blood circulation, discovery of antibiotics, Mendel's understanding of heredity, discoveries in electricity and magnetism, gravity, development of the internal combustion engine, electronics....
Evolutionary theory? Completely irrelevant to the major scientific developments that we take for granted today.
You read a lot of long winded wordy books (Catholic propaganda) that ignore the facts. You try to prove Galileo was wrong (even though he was right) and the church was right (even though they were wrong). I don't care if Galileo could fully understand and precisely explain the planetary motions. He was still right. Now go read up and see if the sky is blue or it just looks that way because of the color.
Owen Gingerich was a memonite missionary and son of preacher before he was an astronomy professor at Harvard. Koestler was an anti-communist Hungarian atheist. Some Catholic propagandists. Dava Sobel is a New York secular Jew, who takes more or less the same view of the Church-Galileo contraversy. Anyone with any more historical perspective than is generally available in public schools knows these things.
Many creationists unfortunately believe not just humans, but the entire universe.
Galileo really didn't have any coherent theory of his own. Being smart-assed with the Pope, his former friend and supporter, lost him the Pope's protection. He was really good at making enemies. The Church had avoided the heliocentricism contraversy, in part because a lot of smart people worked at the Vatican, some of them Jesuits, and realized that it was not in the Church's interest to inject itself into unresolved scientific contraversies. Galileo gave the geocentricists an opening and they seized it, much to the detriment of the Church. (Things we take for granted, like Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press were very much foreign concepts in every civilization and culture up to that time.)
Anyway, his conviction cemented his reputation as a free thinker and made his place in history. If they ignored him, he would probably be a minor player, ranking somewhat below Robert Hook in the history of science. Hook published "Newton's" law of motion nine years before Newton in almost identical form. Hook's publication was sterile because he lacked Newton's genius. Newton created the calculus of variation to show that Hook's law lead to Kepler's empirical laws as a solution to the two body problem. Without the calculus of variations and Kepler's law, Hook's statement of the laws of motion are little more than sterile speculation. BTW, the "Hook's Law" we all learn in high school physics isn't really a physical law, it's at best an engineering approximation, used to illustrate some elementary principles.
You and I have the exact same outlook. I've been considering Mandelbrot's idea that large things in nature tend to be made up of smaller things that are similar. You could start with a cell in your body. It has no idea what it is part of, nor does it have the capacity to understand, yet it's part of a "super-organism". Following Mandelbrot's idea, why couldn't humans then be a supporting component of a super-being?
Like you were saying, the details are beyond all of us, just like it's beyond the capacity of a cell in your body to understand what it is part of.

The new home of
Take a look at our new Inspire and Explore section for the ultimate guide to holiday activities in the Yorkshire Dales.
The county of Yorkshire has a lot to offer visitors with a varied landscape of dales, moors and coast, a rich historical heritage, fascinating cities, market towns and picturesque villages. Yorkshire has a very distinctive character and is rightly considered one of Britain's premier holiday destinations.
Once you arrive in Yorkshire you'll see why it's called 'God's Own County'. Take for example the wild, beautiful expanse of the Yorkshire Dales, which actually consists of lots of different Dales each with their own unique character, covering in total some 554 square miles of heather moorland, rich pasture land, and characterful Dale's villages and of course dry stone walls. Much of this area is protected and forms the famous Dales National Park; the perfect place for walking and cycling amongst some of Britain's most stunning landscapes.
To the east is another National Park; The North York Moors National Park extends all the way to the Yorkshire coast. This is a place of wide open spaces and wind swept heather moorland, an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways as well as hidden valleys where you'll discover pretty villages. It's also home to the North Yorkshire Moors Steam railway which runs from Pickering to Whitby (and back) and is a great day out for both adults and children.
The Yorkshire coast has been attracting holidaymakers since Victorian times and is renowned for its pretty fishing villages and bustling coastal resorts such as Whitby, Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington. Here you'll find family friendly clean sandy beaches and plenty of activities for visitors of all ages. The picturesque town of Whitby clusters around its fishing harbour where fishing boats and pleasure cruisers come and go. High above the town Whitby Abbey dominated the skyline and can be reached with a vigorous walk up some 199 steps.
To the south are the family resorts of Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington. Scarborough has two lovely horseshoe bays with golden sands and plenty to offer families and couples looking for a traditional seaside break. Filey and Bridlington also have lovely beaches and coastal promenades.
And there's plenty more to Yorkshire including the wonderfully historical city of York, internationally renowned for its medieval architecture that includes one of the finest buildings in Europe; York Minster. Then there's the Yorkshire Wolds; a quiet and peaceful place of undulating countryside and market towns. To the south of the region in West Yorkshire is Bronte Country and its dramatic brooding open moorlands and of course connections with the Bronte sisters.
Take a look at our selection of holiday cottages in Yorkshire.

Doubles Bracket | Singles Consolation Bracket
Minnesota men's tennis doubles tandem Mathieu Froment and Jack Hamburg advanced to the 2013 USTA/ITA Central Region Doubles Main Draw Championship with a pair of wins Sunday in Tulsa, Okla. The duo, which advanced twice Saturday to stay alive, did the same Sunday to reach Monday's final.
The day began in the quarterfinal round, where the third-seeded Froment and Hamburg downed Oklahoma State's Vasili Caripi and Lucas Gerch 8-6 in their second two-point match of the tournament.
The junior tandem moved on to the semifinal round to face 35th-ranked and second-seeded Guillermo Alcorta and Axel Alvarez of Oklahoma. Froment and Hamburg came out on top once again, this time by a score of 8-4.
The duo will play for the Regional title Monday at 11 a.m. against Robin Goodman and Ravi Patel of Drake.
Also in action for the Gophers was Ruben Weber, who won his only match of the day in singles consolation action, defeating Johan den Toom of Arkansas in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2. Weber finished 3-0 in consolation play after falling out of main-draw contention.

Thanks for the article.
If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be any coverage of this mess at all.
What's the end game for the taxpayers of Menomonee Falls on their nearly $18,000,000 taxpayer funded loan from 2010 that is currently in foreclosure?
It's quite obvious that the taxpayers of Menomonee Falls not only hold the debt for the Radisson, but will now, in all probability, become the outright owners of the hotel some time in early 2013.
May I suggest some additional information for the hotel story that would normally be considered hard news by any measureable means that could and should be included in your future stories on the hotel so taxpayers can get the full picture of what the Village Manager, Village Attorney and Village Board did to them and the effect it will have on their future tax bills?
Please consider including the following in your future stories:
*4 of the 5 hotel owners either went bankrupt personally and or with their businesses shortly after they received their multi-million dollar cash advances from the taxpayers in 2010
*One of the hotel owners filed bankruptcy for over $106,000,000 within 120 days or so after he got his personal $1,006,500 cash advance from the taxpayers in 2010 along with divesting himself of his assets for protection purposes
*A majority of the 5 hotel owners stoled some $1,200,000 from a Madison investor and lied to the Village about it in order to qualify for the nearly $18,000,000 bond sale in 2010
*Moody's assigned the Village a "negative outlook" on its debt in May of 2012 because of the default
*The Village financed the entire nearly $18,000,000 reconstruction of the hotel which is equal to the entire property tax levy to run the entire Village for some 35,000 people for one year
*Dizard and Crocker have written statements from July of 2012 to the Village Board that guaranteed Village taxpayers they would get their $18,000,000 back plus the $180,000 from June 2012

About Kathy J Snow
Born in a Northern town Dryden Ontario, I was so blessed to have my childhood days surrounded by the beauty and wonder of nature; from the Northern lights dancing in the sky, to the frosty breath seen in the early 40 below winters morn, to the summer sun setting over beautiful Eagle Lake,catching the bright orange and yellow leaves as they fell from the tall birch that lined our front property, and spending hours in the great outdoors, these all have had a great impact on my life, and have influenced my art and poetry greatly.
If just one piece of my work has touched one life, then my work has been successful.

Workplace Communication
In an era of Casual Fridays and work-from-home colleagues, how can you maintain effective office communication in a changing business climate?
We'll steer you through changes in business etiquette, and help you successfully navigate through the new realities of workplace conflict and office politics.
Based on the experiences of men who ran for U.S. president and didn't make it, here are some lessons on how to recover from failure:
For your people's sake—or for yours—let's blow up these four excuses for not networking:
Back in 1952, Sid Caesar was the highest-paid entertainer in America, earning more than $1 million a year for his NBC variety show, "Caesar's Hour." But that show brought incredible pressure. On weeks when programs were aired, Caesar and his team locked themselves behind closed doors for days, perfecting every joke and skit.
Sandy Stash was handed an assignment from hell: Atlantic Richfield Co. sent her to Butte, Mont., to manage the cleanup of the nation's biggest Superfund site, reduce the company's liability and try to calm everybody's nerves.
Here's some advice to aspiring leaders from Jodi Solomon, president of a speakers bureau in Boston:
How effectively are you conveying the image that you strive to build as a leader? To find out, perform this simple test over the next workday:
Saint Augustine postulated that the human mind is made up of little chambers that will hold whatever is directed into them. Fill those images with success, you become successful; fill them with regret, you will fail and become bitter. This is true of organizations as well. Here's how one admin put that idea into practice while working for New York City's government.
From the movie "A Beautiful Mind," you might get the idea that the important thing about mathematician and economist John Nash is that he won the Nobel Prize for creating a "theory of everything." For leaders, though, the important thing about Nash is his obsession with originality. As more and more organizations become labs for innovation, those who lead will be the ones who create the most original products and services. Take these steps to develop a unique way of seeing things and to maintain your creative momentum:
Test your career and work-related goals to see if they stand up to these four questions:
George Stalk's fiercely competitive spirit has helped companies around the world play to win ... decisively. His gospel of continuous improvement in a "virtuous cycle" exhorts leaders to set the pace, never to rest on their laurels and to stretch out the life span of each product. Here are Stalk's strategies:

Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
3D Insert™, the first product line commercialized by 3D Biotek, is a series of porous devices for cell and tissue culture applications. All 3D Inserts have increased surface area compared to 2-D cell culture plates, so more cells can reportedly be cultured in the same size dish, plate, flask, or bioreactor. Additionally, the 3D Inserts do not absorb cytokines and growth factors commonly secreted by cultured cells. This makes it easier to recover desired products from culture media without extensive separation steps. The 3D Inserts are prepackaged into wells of tissue culture plates or custom fitted into bioreactors.
3D Inserts are ideal for early drug screening of oncology and other drugs in cell cultures. Researchers generally evaluate drug efficacy in 2-D petri dishes. "But cancer cells prefer to grow in 3-D environments, and 2-D cell culture methods are not a reliable model for tumor cells," says Dr. Liu. Therapeutic agents, such as tamoxifen tested on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, give more realistic results in 3-D cultures than 2-D cultures, according to experiments performed at 3D Biotek.
3D Inserts also meet the needs of stem cell researchers. "The promise of stem cells is that they have the potential to become all kinds of tissue," says Dr. Liu, and a 3-D scaffold helps them to differentiate into various types of cells. The same concept applies to tissue-engineering research where specific tissue types grow better in a 3-D environment.
A second product, the 3D Cell Transfection Kit, increases transfection efficiency, Dr. Liu notes. The kit was co-developed with BioCellChallenge (www.biocellchallenge.com) and is based on a 3-D in vitro transfection technology that achieves high delivery efficiencies of plasmid DNA, Dr. Liu says.
The kit contains a sterile plate with 3-D scaffolds and a special reagent that's optimized to transfect cells growing in physiological tissue environments. As a proof-of-concept of the kit's potential, HEK293T cells were transfected and showed a prolonged increase of IL-2 cytokine secretion that was about 10-fold higher than a 2-D control system.
Bioactive scaffolds are also being developed to improve tissue engineering, such as bone and cartilage repair. When cells grow on scaffolds, they lay down their own cellular matrix that secretes needed growth factors. The porous scaffold structure can be optimized to promote the cellular matrix, and growth factors and other agents can be added to simulate natural morphogenesis.
Researchers worldwide contact 3D Biotek to ask about using 3-D scaffolds in novel ways. Currently, however, the company does not have the resources to pursue the ideas. "But we can provide our scaffolds to others who want to develop protocols for other applications," Dr. Liu says.

There are however some problems already, the bushings need to be replaced and the passenger side windows are also shot.. the front passenger still goes down about six 8 inches but after that it has trouble and doesn't wanna go back up without a little help
This is also the first manual car i ever owned... needless to say i'm not the best with the clutch, i stalled her about a dozen times my first week of driving. i got a lot better with it tho.
My biggest worry right now is that there wasn't very much paperwork that came with the car, i don't know when or if the previous owner did a transmission flush, i heard regardless of the manual, this should be done.
The car feels great!!! Picks up like new, i get about 350 miles per tank of gas and sound system bumps! I've become a Bimmer fan for LIFE!!
any feedback, advise, warnings would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!

Qatar has rejected Baghdad's demand to hand over Iraq's Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi, who is accused of running a death squads, and who arrived in the Gulf state on Sunday.
"Diplomatic norms and the post of Hashemi prevent Qatar from doing such a thing," said Khaled al-Attiyah, Qatar's state minister for foreign affairs, on Tuesday.
"Mr Hashemi came in his capacity as a vice president and he continues to occupy this post, and has not been sentenced or stripped of his title," said Attiyah.
Hussain al-Shahristani, Iraq's deputy prime minister, said on Monday that Qatar's decision to host Hashemi, the top Sunni official in Iraq's government, was "unacceptable".
Heshemi arrived in Qatar from Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region where he had been living since December.
"Qatar should review its position and send al-Hashemi back to Iraq so that he stands trial," Shahristani said.
Hashemi disputes the validity of Baghdad's extradition request, saying he enjoys constitutional immunity and has not been convicted.
"Why do they demand that Qatar extradite me? Officials in Kurdistan have responded to a similar request by telling them that I have immunity according to Article 93 [of the Iraqi constitution]," said Hashemi told reporters in Doha, the Qatari capital.
He has denied the charges against him, saying they are "politically motivated". Hashemi told Al Jazeera in December that he never fled Baghdad for Kurdistan.
Hashemi said he was willing to return and stand trial if he had a guarantee that a "minimum requirement of justice is available".
Doha arrival
After arriving in Doha, Hashemi met Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani to discuss "relations between the two brotherly countries and developments in the region", according to Qatari state news agency QNA.
QNA added that he was to meet Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabr Al Thani, before visiting unnamed other countries and returning to Kurdistan.
Shahristani also said Kurdistan, where Hashemi had been staying since charges were issued against him in December, had committed a "clear challenge to law and justice" by allowing him to leave Iraq.
Baghdad had demanded that Kurdistan hand over Hashemi to face justice, but the region declined to oblige.
The row is the latest sign of worsening ties between the central government and Kurdish authorities in Arbil, with the two sides arguing over disputed territory in north Iraq, dozens of energy contracts awarded by Kurdistan, and Kurdish claims that Baghdad is consolidating power.
Nouri al-Maliki, Iraq's prime minister, told a news conference on Sunday that Hashemi "is wanted in a member country of the Arab League, and he should not be received, especially under the title of vice president".
The accusations were leveled against Hashemi the day after US forces withdrew from Iraq in December 2011, and have resulted in a worsening political feud.

I would never recommend Patrick to anyone. He managed my case very poorly. He prepared only two documents for court and both was rejected by judge as "files inappropriately". He was not even able to file papers according to the San Jose court standards. It was not pleasant to stay in front of judge and hear words "It is an easy application, but at least you have to file it properly".

Xi'an Jiaotong University (abbreviated XJTU) is a Chinese C9 League university with strengths in engineering, technology, and public health located in Xi'an, Shaanxi, China. XJTU's twenty schools comprise a comprehensive research university offering programs in nine areas: science, engineering, medicine, economics, management, art, law, philosophy and education. XJTU houses five national key laboratories, four national special laboratories, and two national engineering research centers.[1] XJTU's eight affiliated teaching hospitals include two ranked in China's top 100.[2]
XJTU began in Shanghai in 1896 as the Nanyang Public School (南洋公学) through an imperial edict issued by the Guangxu Emperor, under the Business and Telegraphs Office of the imperial government. Four schools were established: a normal school, a school of foreign studies, a middle school, and a high school. Sheng Xuanhuai, the mandarin responsible for proposing the idea to the Guangxu Emperor, became the first president and is regarded as the founder of the university, with the assistance of John Calvin Ferguson, a missionary educator.
The university underwent a series of transitions. In 1904, the Ministry of Commerce took over the school, and in 1905 changed its name to Imperial Polytechnic College of the Commerce Ministry. In 1906, the college was placed under the Ministry of Posts and Telegraphs, and its name was changed to Shanghai Industrial College of the Ministry of Posts and Telegraphs. When the Republic of China was founded, the college was placed under the Ministry of Communications and its name was once again changed, this time to Government Institute of Technology of the Communications Ministry.
The Republic of China founded the School of Management in 1918. In 1920, the Government Institute of Technology of the Communications Ministry merged with two other colleges and changed its name to Nan Yang College of Chiao Tung. In 1938, the Ministry of Education took over the university and renamed it to National Chiao Tung University (Chinese: 国立交通大学). During the anti-Japanese War, the university was moved to the French Concession and in 1940 the state-run branch of Jiaotong University was set up in Chongqing. In 1941, to prevent the Wang puppet government from taking over the university, it was run continually in the name of Private Nanyang University. In 1942, the Wang government took over Shanghai School. So the Education Department of Guomin Government chose Chongqing Branch as the headquarters of Jiaotong University. In 1943, the graduate school was founded. After the anti-Japanese War was won, Chongqing headquarter went back to Shanghai and merged with Shanghai School. In 1946, the name of state-run Jiaotong University was recovered.[3]
After the Kuomintang were defeated in 1949, a part of the faculty retreated to Taiwan with Chiang Kai-shek and, in 1958, formed the eponymous National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan. The institution that remained in Shanghai was renamed Chiao Tung University to reflect the fact that all universities under the new socialist state would be public. In the 1950s, the pinyin romanization system was developed in Mainland China and Chiao Tung University changed its English name to Jiao Tong University.
In 1956, following the national strategy, the major portion of Jiao Tong University moved to Xi'an, Shaanxi and later became Xi'an Jiaotong University in 1959. In the same year, Xi'an Jiaotong University was listed as a key university in China. Later, it became one of a handful of universities built according to the "Seventh Five-Year Plan" and "Eighth Five-Year Plan." It was one of the universities that entered the construction of "211 project" of China. In April 2000, approved by the State Council, Xi'an Medical University, Shaanxi Institute of Finance and Economics and Xi'an Jiaotong University were merged and formed the new Xi'an Jiaotong University.
