SCO Group, the software company that claims Linux is infused with a million lines of its Unix source code, is taking its fight directly to Linux users. The vendor said last week that it will initiate legal proceedings against one or more large companies, charging that their use of the open-source operating system violates its copyrights. If a court were to eventually rule in SCO's favor, the outcome could have implications for all companies that use Linux. And that's the way SCO wants it.
There has been ample warning this day would come. From the time SCO filed a $1 billion breach-of-contract suit against IBM eight months ago"charging, among other things, that IBM illegally moved copyrighted Unix code into Linux during development"the vendor has signaled that Linux users might one day be held accountable, too. "We've always said it was license or litigate," SCO CEO Darl McBride says.
In May, SCO sent letters to 1,500 companies alerting them to its intellectual-property concerns. Then, in August, the vendor introduced a licensing program intended to persuade IT departments to voluntarily pay SCO $800 per CPU for the right to use Linux. (That fee doubled on Oct. 15.) A week after launching the program, SCO said more than 300 companies had responded, yet only one had signed up. McBride declines to give a current tally on licenses.
SCO's pending legal action appears to be an attempt to prompt more companies to sign its license to avoid being sued. "They're [trying] to make the users nervous and bring them to the table," says Brian Ferguson, a partner in the intellectual-property practice of law firm McDermott, Will & Emery.
It's not certain the strategy will work. Linux distributors IBM and Red Hat Inc. insist SCO's claims have no merit, while an angry chorus of open-source advocates argues that SCO's actions are misguided, hypocritical (SCO used to sell Linux), and doomed to fail. What's more, if the uptake of Linux is any measure, businesses are moving ahead with deployments: Subscriptions for Red Hat's Enterprise Linux grew 10% in the fiscal quarter ended Aug. 31, compared with the previous quarter.
"SCO's threat to sue a Linux user doesn't worry me," says Cliff Rittel, director of IT at ADCS Inc., a secure-document-management company. Rittel figures Linux can replace his company's Windows environment at about one-fifth the cost. "We're going to go on a big push to install Linux," he says.
But make no mistake: The decision to use Linux in business-technology environments just took on added risk. At least one company using Linux now has a "target on its back," says attorney Ferguson, who estimates damages sought by SCO in a single case could run into the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Like some other Linux supporters, ADCS's Rittel says the General Public License, which governs the use of Linux, provides all the protection his company needs. Yet McBride is focused on two words that appear at the end of the license: No Warranty.
CIOs already are tuned in to the issue. When InformationWeek Research recently asked 400 business-technology professionals about their concerns with open-source software, 37% cited accountability if problems were to arise, and 28% cited intellectual-property issues. SCO's pending legal action underscores those concerns. "I would recommend they pay very close attention," says Yankee Group analyst Laura DiDio.
Peter Schamel, senior VP and CIO with iN Demand Networks, which distributes content to cable-TV networks, believes SCO should provide more evidence to support its copyright claims before going after users. "I wish I had enough information to understand if they have a valid claim," he says. If SCO is correct, Schamel says, the company should be fairly compensated. "We're an [intellectual-property] company, too," he explains.
Which company or companies does SCO have in its sights? As of last week, that decision had not yet been made. "We're culling the list down," McBride says. The mystery will be over shortly; SCO plans to initiate legal action within 90 days. The target will be a large, "fairly high-profile" company or companies that have been uncooperative to date, McBride says.

Mucho Macho Man wins Breeders' Cup Classic
ARCADIA, Calif. -- Gary Stevens had never won the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic in his long career. Kathy Ritvo came close a year ago with Mucho Macho Man only to settle for second.
The veteran jockey and the trainer who got another chance at life after a heart transplant in 2008 teamed up with the hard-knocking horse to win by a whisker Saturday.
Mucho Macho Man edged Will Take Charge in a photo finish decided by a nose, making Ritvo the first female trainer to win North America's richest race at a Breeders' Cup that began tragically with the death of a horse in the first race.
"I didn't know the photo was as close as it was," said Stevens, who was 0-for-14 in the Classic.
Stevens capped his comeback at 50 in stellar fashion, surviving a photo finish in the Classic after winning the $2 million Distaff with Beholder on Friday for a sweep of the biggest races at the two-day world championships at Santa Anita.
Ritvo became the fifth female trainer to win a Breeders' Cup race and got to celebrate a year after seeing Mucho Macho Man finish second by a half-length to winner Fort Larned.
"Thrilling," she said.
First, though, Ritvo had to sweat out the results.
Mucho Macho Man stretched his neck to hold off Will Take Charge, trained by 78-year-old Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas.
Game On Dude, the 8-5 favorite who was 5-0 this year, finished ninth on his home track for trainer Bob Baffert and co-owner Joe Torre, the retired Dodgers and Yankees manager.
Mucho Macho Man ran 1¼ miles in 2:00.72 and paid $10, $4.60 and $3.60 as the 4-1 second choice. The victory likely earned him champion older male honors and might get him consideration for Horse of the Year honors, which Game On Dude could have wrapped up with a win.
Current Horse of the Year Wise Dan repeated in the $2 million Mile, winning by three-quarters of a length under Jose Lezcano, a late replacement for Velazquez.
The 30th Breeders' Cup got off to a troubling start, with a rare disqualification in the opening race and Secret Compass euthanized because of a broken leg in the $2 million Juvenile Fillies.
John Velazquez, who rode Secret Compass, had emergency surgery to remove his spleen after internal bleeding was discovered shortly before he was to be released from a Pasadena hospital.
Ria Antonia finished second but was declared the winner of the 11/16-mile race after She's a Tiger was disqualified by the stewards.
They ruled that She's a Tiger and Stevens drifted out late, bumped Ria Antonia and Javier Castellano, slowing her momentum.
It was the first DQ of a winner since the inaugural 1984 Juvenile Fillies race in which Fran's Valentine won and later was placed 10th.
Baffert was smiling later when 10-1 shot New Year's Day rallied on the rail to win the $2 million Juvenile by 1 ¼ lengths. The colt paid $23 to win, with jockey Martin Garcia earning his first Cup victory.
Baffert and Garcia also teamed to win the $1.5 million Sprint by a neck with Secret Circle.
After the early drama, 3-2 favorite Dank restored order by winning the $2 million Filly & Mare Turf by a half-length over Romantica. Ridden by Ryan Moore, Dank ran 1 ¼ miles in 1:58.73 and paid $5, $3.40 and $2.80.
Mizdirection defended her title in the $1 million Turf Sprint for co-owner Jim Rome, the sports talk host.

The Brazilian Doctors Who Sounded the Alarm on Zika and Microcephaly
RECIFE, Brazil—When they first started seeing newborns with shrunken skulls last August, Dr. Vanessa van der Linden Mota and her mother, Dr. Ana van der Linden, didn't realize they were looking at a looming public-health disaster.
But it didn't take long for the two neuropediatricians to start connecting the dots. The tiny heads were classic signs of microcephaly, an incurable condition associated with incomplete brain development typically caused by chromosome disorders or maternal alcohol abuse. Unusually, though, some of the infants' heads were draped with excess skin. Others' skulls bore calcified patches that squeezed their brains in a vise grip. Some of their limbs were crumpled and bent at odd angles. Also oddly, in 70% of the cases the two doctors were seeing, mothers reported itching or rashes during their pregnancies.
Then there was this: In a typical year, the doctors said, they might see one microcephaly case every couple of months. Suddenly, they were seeing dozens.
By October, the two doctors alerted Pernambuco state health authorities and fingered what they believed was the likely culprit: the mosquito-borne Zika virus that is ravaging Brazil and sweeping rapidly across the Americas.
"With all my years of experience, I never had seen an epidemic of this magnitude," said Dr. Ana van der Linden, 75 years old, the matriarch of a family of five physicians.
At the time, the microcephaly connection struck some experts as implausible. After all, the Zika virus, discovered in Uganda in 1947, had long been considered a mild pest, rarely fatal, and certainly not associated with catastrophic birth defects. But now, the global medical community is starting to fear that the van der Lindens were right.
On Thursday, the World Health Organization said it would convene an emergency committee Monday to decide if the Zika outbreak ought to be declared an international health emergency. WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan said the virus was "spreading explosively."
Experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and at U.S. university medical centers, along with the heads of Brazil's leading medical research laboratories, now believe that evidence for a connection between Zika and microcephaly is strong. Brazilian Health Minister Marcelo Castro says he has "100% certainty" a link exists.
What remains uncertain are how the virus works its damage—and the number of victims. In 2014, the year Zika is believed to have arrived in Brazil, the country recorded 147 microcephaly cases. Since October, the country has reported 4,180 suspected cases and the death of 70 babies. Some of those suspected cases have been found not to be microcephaly, and very few have been positively linked to Zika. Most cases are still under investigation.
Dr. Artur Timerman, president of Brazil's Society of Dengue and Arbovirus, made headlines when he predicted Brazil eventually could be dealing with 50,000 to 100,000 cases of Zika-related microcephaly by 2020.
Dr. Timerman said he based his estimate on the fertility index of Brazilian women, and by taking account of similar diseases such as rubella.
"I do not think that cases of microcephaly are overstated," Dr. Timerman said. "Data in Brazil on this subject is still precarious, but I suspect that the data is being underestimated more than overestimated."
In the U.S., numbers derived from state tracking systems of birth defects suggest that microcephaly afflicts between two and 12 babies per 10,000 live births, according to the CDC. If Dr. Timerman's predictions hold, that would put Brazil in the range of 45 to 60 per 10,000.
Apart from the microcephaly scare, Brazil is suffering its worst public health crisis since yellow fever raged in the early 20th century. The country is struggling to contain a growing epidemic not only of Zika but of two similar viruses spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito: dengue and chikungunya. Last year, Brazil had a record number of 1.6 million dengue cases.
The van der Lindens have found themselves plunged into the middle of the crisis. Descended on one side from Dutch-German immigrants who settled Brazil's impoverished northeast, the family has produced five doctors, including the father, Dr. Hélio van der Linden, a neurosurgeon who is deceased.
His widow, Dr. Ana van der Linden, and 46-year-old daughter Vanessa, work as neuropediatricians in different public hospitals in Recife.
The metropolis of about 3.7 million had all the ingredients to hatch an epidemic. Recife's sodden topography is interlaced with canals filled with raw sewage. Flooded streets and mounds of rain-soaked garbage are common during the rainy season.
Despite the faded grandeur of its downtown (part of which is a Unesco World Heritage site), and its gleaming $226 million soccer stadium built to host a total of five games during the 2014 World Cup tournament, Brazil's fifth-largest city is dotted with sprawling shantytowns. Crumbling wooden shacks perch on stilts alongside riverbanks and estuaries.
Recife's poorest residents, lacking reliable water, have taken to building cisterns and hoarding supplies in swimming pools and other containers where mosquitoes breed. Most cannot afford insect repellent.
For many poor families in Pernambuco, the only bright spot in this bleak picture are physicians like Dr. van der Linden Mota and her mother.
Dr. van der Linden Mota's eureka moment took place last August, while she was tending to a woman who had given birth to twins, one with microcephaly, the other healthy. Testing for congenital defects turned out normal, the doctor said, "an indication that we were dealing with something new."
She also noticed the malformed twin's head had an excess amount of skin. Further questioning revealed that the baby's mother had broken out in red spots and rashes at the beginning of her pregnancy—the symptoms of Zika. Soon she found other mothers who had given birth to babies with microcephaly experienced the same symptoms.
At the same time that his mother and sister were treating the surge of ailing babies in Brazil's northeast, Dr. Hélio van der Linden Jr., 42, a neuropediatrician, noticed an early case of microcephaly in Goainia, the capital of the central-western state of Goias.
He and his sister began swapping information and CT scans of babies' brains via WhatsApp, and, last October, Dr. Hélio van der Linden Jr. notified officials of Goiania's first suspected case of Zika-related microcephaly, a city health official confirmed.
"It was very important throughout this process, the dialogue with my sister and my mother," said Dr. Hélio van der Linden Jr., whose other sister, Ivana, is a pediatric endocrinologist in Goiania.
Vanessa van der Linden Mota met in October with the state health secretary, Iran Costa, and asked for help in running more tests. In October, the state board of health began requiring that all new cases of microcephaly be reported, and that every newborn with a skull less than 32 centimeters in circumference, or about 12½ inches, which is slightly smaller than the standard medical measure, would be considered to suffer microcephaly.
Still, making the connection of microcephaly to Zika is extremely difficult.
Zika is a tricky virus to study. Four out of five people who are infected never develop symptoms, and the disease is very mild for most of those who do, the CDC says. Samples have to be analyzed in labs at the CDC or some state health departments, because there is no commercially available test.
Follow-up studies by the global medical community are starting to unravel the microcephaly mystery. Tests in CDC labs found the virus in the placentas of two fetuses that had had microcephaly and miscarried, and in the brains of two full-term babies who were born with microcephaly and died.
Those tests showed the virus that infected pregnant mothers also infected their babies. But the tests didn't show how the virus causes the birth defects. More studies are under way or planned to find that out, researchers say.
Researchers are also studying the rise in cases of microcephaly in Brazil to try to determine how many of them are due to Zika rather than other factors.
Among the unanswered questions are whether Zika can harm the babies of infected pregnant mothers who never develop symptoms of disease themselves, said Anne Schuchat, the CDC's principal deputy director. "We're working hard to find out," she said.
"We're taking it very seriously, and we know it's a difficult thing for women to hear," she said.
Also unclear is, why Brazil? Although at least 22 countries or territories in Latin America and the Caribbean, including Mexico and Puerto Rico, have registered homegrown Zika cases, no cases of microcephaly have yet been reported anywhere in the hemisphere but Brazil, according to the WHO.
Experts in mosquito-borne diseases say that microcephaly may not have been linked with Zika before because most previous outbreaks weren't large enough to identify it. In light of Brazil's troubles, researchers reviewed data from an outbreak in French Polynesia that occurred in 2013 and 2014. They found an increase in cases of microcephaly in the area where the outbreak occurred, said Lyle Petersen, director of the CDC's division of vector-borne diseases. "That provides some evidence that this may be occurring in other areas as well," he said.
The consequences are grave. Newborns who survive could be experiencing the tragic aftershocks for years or even decades: epileptic seizures, dysfunctional motor skills, and other maladies requiring drugs and therapies that their predominantly impoverished families can ill-afford.
"These children have a super-agitated behavior, they do not sleep right, and they scream and cry, too," said Dr. van der Linden Mota. "In Brazil we do not have many centers developed to address these ills. Even before this outbreak we had queues and poor service."
Roughly one-third of Brazil's cases of Zika-related microcephaly have occurred here in Pernambuco state, where infected women from small towns that lack medical clinics have no choice but to travel hours to the capital of Recife.
Firsthand reports by the mother-daughter physicians were crucial in mobilizing state health officials to combat microcephaly, said Dr. Maria Angela Rocha, a pediatric infectologist at Recife's public Oswaldo Cruz Hospital.
"Dr. Vanessa and Dr. Ana are experts, and they made us alert," Dr. Rocha said. "The discovery by them of this high number of cases was very important to create a performance protocol as soon as possible."
One infected mother, Nadja Gomes Bezerra, 42, praised Dr. van der Linden Mota, who earlier this month started treating her daughter Alice, born Oct. 22 with microcephaly. Ms. Gomes Bezerra said the doctor was the first physician to realize that Alice was having seizures. She prescribed medication that is helping the baby girl sleep.
"Many physicians who looked at Alice did not even know how to take care of this. Not Dr. Vanessa," Ms. Gomes Bezerra said. "Dr. Vanessa is so special that she even gave us her cellphone to talk to her whenever you need."
Ms. Gomes Bezerra said she started screaming when she found out during a routine ultrasound exam that Alice had microcephaly.
"My husband João had to keep holding me because he thought I would kill myself, throw myself in front of cars," said Ms. Gomes Bezerra, a telemarketing attendant whose spouse works at Recife's airport.
The couple, each of whom earns minimum wage (about $220 a month), spends one-sixth of their income on a battery of medications and treatments for Alice, in addition to train and bus fares to keep their packed schedule of appointments. The family has borrowed money from Mr. Bezerra's colleagues. They have no idea how they will repay it.
"What makes me sad is to know that I'm fighting for my daughter and I do not know if she will keep living," Ms. Gomes Bezerra said.
The Zika outbreak comes at a tenuous time for Brazil's public health system. With the country sunk in recession, some funding for medical research and laboratory testing has been cut or delayed, researchers and laboratory directors say. A major public hospital in Rio de Janeiro was forced to close temporarily over the holiday season.
Dr. van der Linden Mota said there are fewer than 10 neuropediatricians in Recife, and perhaps a total of 15 in the entire state. Many of the state's public hospitals are underfunded, overcrowded and understaffed.
Medical specialists and administrators at leading research centers such as the Butantan Institute in São Paulo and the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) in Rio de Janeiro say that a Zika vaccine is at least three to five years away.
For some young women in Recife, the warnings came too late. Among those seeking help last week at the government-run IMIP Hospital, where the elder Dr. van der Linden works, was first-time mother Sueli Maria das Graças.
Cradling her day-old daughter Milene Rafaela in the maternity ward, Ms. Maria das Graças said she had traveled 2½ hours to Recife from her small town of Bom Jardim to give birth. The baby's father is a poor farmer.
During her third month of pregnancy, the mother said, her body broke out in red spots, "but it did not look serious" and didn't hurt. She learned that her baby had microcephaly just before she was born.
Ms. Maria das Graças glanced at the tiny child. "Now, we only ask God for everything to work. I leave everything in God's hands."

1 minute pure music! Too bad it's just 1 minute, but then again, I would think that it can get really repeative and less melodic if it's made to be longer.

Jean-Francois Clervoy, Gerhard Thiele, Frank de Winne, Pedro Duque, Christer Fuglesang, Paolo Nespoli, André Kuipers and Reinhold Ewald sat down with children from Belgium and other European countries for yoghurt, rolls and some slightly less conventional fare.
"Space food is not too bad," said Frank de Winne as he unrolled a funny-looking shrink-wrapped pack of... "What is that?" said the girl sitting next to him. "This looks like spaghetti," said de Winne, reading a small white label on the package. "Oh yes, it's spaghetti. It doesn't look like much now, but, in space, it's one of our favorite meals."
Astronaut Pedro Duque said, "Being an astronaut is hard work. You are busy most of the time when you're in space, but there are also moments to stop and think, to look out of the window and realise how incredible it is to be in space, looking down on our planet. That, by itself, is reward enough for all the hard work and training. Yes, I do like my job."
Born on 19 November 1958 in Longeville-les-Metz, France, he flew twice aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis and once aboard Discovery for a total of 675 hours in space.
In October and November 2002, de Winne participated in the Odissea Mission, a support flight to the International Space Station (ISS). He served as Flight Engineer on the newly designed Soyuz TMA spacecraft during ascent, and on Soyuz TM during reentry. He was born in Ghent, Belgium, on 25 April 1961.
In 2003, Pedro Duque participated in the Cervantes Mission. During this 10-day mission to the ISS, Duque served as Flight Engineer on the Soyuz-TMA, launching with the Expedition Eight crew and returning with Expedition Seven.
Born 14 March 1963 in Madrid, Spain.
Ewald flew as a research cosmonaut on the Russian Soyuz TM 25 vehicle and spent 18 days on board the Mir Space Station. He was born on 18 December 1956 in Mönchengladbach, Germany.
Born on 18 March 1957 in Stockholm, Sweden, he will be the first Swedish astronaut to travel into space, expected to fly aboard a Space Shuttle mission in the near future.
Born on 5 October 1958 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Kuipers was Flight Engineer for a Soyuz flight to the ISS in April 2004, participating in the Delta Mission.
Nespoli is currently working at NASA's astronaut office at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Born on 6 April 1957 in Milan, Italy, he is awaiting his first spaceflight assignment.
In February 2000, Thiele was Mission Specialist on the STS-99 Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, dedicated to the first, three-dimensional, digital mapping of the Earth surface on a nearly global scale. He was born on 2 September 1953 in Heidenheim-Brenz, Germany.
"Of course, I would like to go back into space as soon as possible" said de Winne, "and for a longer stay, but there are others in our group who have not been up yet and who deserve a chance, and they have priority."
Roberto Vittori, currently undergoing intensive training in Star City, Russia, is scheduled to be the next European astronaut in space. He will travel to the ISS aboard a Soyuz rocket in April 2005. He is to be followed in June 2005 by Thomas Reiter, currently training in Texas. Reiter will be a member of the first American shuttle mission to lift off since the Columbia disaster in 2003.

YOUNGSTOWN — Approving a three-year contract is a testament to the ongoing cooperation between the city and the International Association of Firefighters Local 312, said fire Chief John O'Neill.
City council and the union, which represents 140 firefighters, came to an agreement on the pact, which will include a 3-percent retroactive pay increase during its first year.
Council passed the agreement at its meeting tonight. The agreement was a result of a fact-finder report on union contracts, as well as the proposals of both the city and the union.
"I'm thrilled; it's always tough working through negotiations," O'Neill said.
For the complete story, see Thursday's Vindicator and Vindy.com
Oldman... I've agreed with your comments a number of times, but this time we differ.
The dedicated and fearless men and women of the Youngstown Fire Department have earned every penny of this pay raise and then some.
Keep in mind please, if it weren't for them, Youngstown would have no "store" to give away. Arson in this town is something that endangers them and others whether a building is vacant or not, and sorry to say it seems to be on the increase.
I was born and raised in this town and yes, I agree there isn't much here to brag about. But if my home caught fire, I know we'd have the best firefighters around on the scene.
Exactly right TLP. They, union public workers, have an entitlement mentality nowadays. They think they are irreplaceable and hold the government entities and tapxpayers hostage. Everyone else is lucky to be employed and yet they demand more in wages and benefits. It simply is ridiculous and amazing.

Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Reader Contributions Are Encouraged So We...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Partners Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer failed to win FDA approval for use of the oral Factor Xa inhibitor Eliquis® (apixaban) in the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. The agency's Complete Response Letter (CRL) requested additional information on data management and verification from the Phase III Aristotle trial, but hasn't asked for the completion of any new studies.
The firms say they will work with the drug regulator to define the next steps toward achieving approval. In the meantime Eliquis is under review in the EU and Japan for the stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation indication, backed by data from 24,000 patients in the pivotal Aristotle and Averroes studies.
Eliquis was approved in Europe in May 2010 for use in the prevention of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) in adults undergoing elective hip or knee replacement surgery. The clinical program for the anticoagulant is projected to include some 60,000 patients across multiple indications, and includes nine completed or ongoing Phase III studies.
BMS and Pfizer teamed up in 2007 to develop Eliquis, which was originally discovered by BMS. Under terms of the initial development plan, Pfizer funds 60% of all development costs, and the firms jointly develop the clinical and marketing strategy, and share commercialization expenses and profits equally on a global basis. BMS manufactures the product.

By MarkHeckler-Oracle on Dec 18, 2012
Just a quick post to spread the good word: the Developer Preview of JDK8 and JavaFX8 for Linux on ARM processors - hard-float ABI - is now available here. Right here.
It's been tested on the Raspberry Pi, and many of us plan to (unofficially) test it on a variety of other ARM platforms. This could be the beginning of something big.
So...what are you still doing here? Go download it already! (Did I mention you could get it here?) :-D

Great Bed - exceeded expectations.
This bed is solid, real wood! The finish is beautiful!! Relatively easy to put together - we used a drill for the screws - and it feels very sturdy and secure.Read More
This bed just straight up sucks. There are only two feet beside the standard four that are meant to hold the weight in the middle. We got a king, combined, me and my other half only weight about 285 lbs and yet those center feet completely broke within a month! Mind you, we weren't in any way hard on the bed. Because of the horrible slope from the legs breaking, we had to completely reinforce the bed, thankfully my boyfriend is a general contractor or I would have thrown this damn bed in the trash! I would get rid of this thing if it hadn't cost so much.Read More
It might be wood but it's not solid! Fell apart!
I bought this based on the reviews and it is as beautiful as described! It really is wood, and the headboard was so heavy I could barely drag it in from the porch where it was delivered. I had to get help taking it upstairs. Very easy to put together. Plenty of cross pieces (slats), Great buy, especially for the money! UPDATE 5/16/16 I wrote original review days after I received the bed, before it was really used. Well, after 8 months of use (by a single woman), I see that the quality is not what if first appeared. The bed is not made of "solid" wood, which is really important in areas where it is bolted together. The footboard is framed in wood with a thin "skin" of wood covering it; and I think the headboard is the same. A month ago the footboard started coming apart and the screws came out. Luckily my contractor was on site and he glued and screwed it back together. Now tonight the frame totally broke away from the headboard - the bolts pulled right out. It's just too wobbly and insecure, which puts stress on all the places it is all bolted together. If you try to move the bed at all, it falls apart. I would not recommend - it is attractive looking but not worth is since it is definitely NOT solid and sturdy.Read More
Exactly what I was looking for
This bed is sturdy and low profile. Although it does include slabs we added plywood on top because the bed is too low to fit a boxspring as well without covering the headboard. We currently have a 13" mattress and looks great, I have no complaints. The shipping was great, I am definitely shopping at overstock again, I love their coupons so make sure to subscribe to their email and rewardsRead More
Great Solid Wood Mid-Century Bed
My wife and I purchased this bed frame to go along with a new 14-inch King Slumber Solutions Memory Foam Mattress that we also purchased through Overstock and it is really stylish! We read the majority of the reviews before purchasing, to see what we were getting into and nothing in them scared us away or wasn't something that we had already planned to handle. Particularly with the support of the bed. The bed arrived in 7 business days and came in 4 separate boxes, however, we had it set up in under 30 minutes. It comes with roughly 12-14 slates to support the bed and these appear to be peoples biggest qualms about the quality of this bed. However, having read the reviews, we were prepared to deal with them. First, as your are spacing the support slats, it is going to appear like you have too many. What I would recommend, and what my wife and I did, is space them according to weight. For example, the majority of the weight from the bed and yourself will be from the middle moving towards the headboard, i.e. your waist to head. So space the slats to where you end up with more supporting that section of bed. Obviously, on the average person, your legs weigh less than your upper body, so fewer support slats are needed towards the bottom of the bed. Now, that is not to say, don't put any. Here is how it worked for us, we had 14 support slats with the King Size frame. So I first spaced the slats 5 - 6 inches apart, moving from the foot of the bed to the headboard. This landed me with 2 extra slats, so I placed that additional support at the head of the bed. Next, we purchased two twin size pieces of 1/2 inch particle board from Home Depot for just under $30 and placed these on the support slates to form a solid base for the bed. This provides additional support by giving the bed a solid uniform base on which to displace yours and the bed's weight. It also helps a memory foam bed retain its form by preventing the memory foam from "muffin topping" between the support slats. Sure it is a little extra cash and time to measure for the particle board, but I know it will be worth it in the long run. All in all, we are loving the design and look of this bed. It is solid wood, with a beautiful finish. Initially, it looks like it is going to sit really low, especially with a memory foam bed minus the box spring, but even without a box spring, it is only a few inches lower than traditional spring mattress/box spring combo. I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a mid-century modern style without paying the $1500-$3000 for a similar solid wood frame bed from your big box furniture store. Last, as with everything my wife and I have bought from Overstock, read the reviews! They will save you a bundle in time and money! Look at the good with the bad and make your decision then. Reading the reviews allowed us to move forward with purchasing the bed and doing a little DIY, not to MAKE the bed sturdy, it already is, but to do something that will ensure it lasts far beyond what is expected. Also, go out around your local city or town and look at comparisons to get a good idea of what you want and if you want to forgo any savings to be able to get something you can see, feel and walk out the door with.Read More

Great bed, one small issue
We love this bed. It was easy to assemble and looks great. The only problem was it only has two center supports, so the bed would creak and if you sit on the end of the bed you will not be supported. This is the only reason I didn't give it an excellent rating. Easy fix - two 9-inch 1x2's screwed into the center slat.Read More
Build it and it will come all together
For starters the price was right in the ball park i wanted to spend and it being solid wood, can't go too wrong. Mind you it isn't solid piece of wood, but peices put together, but at leaset it isn't particle board. so here are my pros and cons: -Note: I have a memory foam mattress- Tools: Electric drill and a socket wrench (the provide tools that work pretty good, but increase building timeframe) Built in about a hour and a half (including prep time, laying everything out before building) Pros: Price-allowed me to buy a box spring that i highly recommend getting. You can get them for less than 300 if you shop around. Style-dark tobacco brown wood looks great and gives a unique look that you don't get in similar priced furniture Strength-holds up two adults, sometimes dogs and a bun in the oven no problem. Buy a box spring though, read cons. Puting it together was pretty straight forward, but you'll need to a second hand when you get to the slats Cons: Slats start to sag over time and a memory foam mattress really helps you know that it is happening. Bought a box spring and never looked back. Sleeps low too, my boxer kept staring me in the face when i was woke up each morning. Bought a box sping and never looked back. Buy a box of self drilling wood screws (about a inch and a half in length) to keep everything sturdy, you'll want to screw in each slat. With a boxspring i still recommend doing this. there are two small legs tht attach to two slats that provide center support, if you move the bed around at all; make sure the legs are recentered. I've already moved once with this bed and it still going strong, something else you don't get in this price range. Hope this info helped >MRead More
This bed works great w/ our tempurpedic set!!
The bed and night stands were easy to assemble and the color and design are just like the picture! We are soooo pleased with it and the value can't be beat!! We have a normal tempurpedic box spring and a tempurpedic mattress....they work great with the bed and you still can see the head board even though the box spring brings up the mattress level. Our bed is heavy and still feels very secure. There is no squeaking or creaking and the bed frame feels very solid! With our king size mattress measurements it fits just right....no extra room to tuck in the bed spread and that is A OK since it is much easier to make the bed!Read More
Beautiful bed
This bed is very heavy and sturdy. It was pretty easy to put together by myself. The support could be better in there are 2 blocks of wood that screw into middle of the slats and with any movement of the bed the blocks move (buckle). I have hardwood floors in the bedroom and the bed will slide easily. Overall, I am very happy with this bed. It's beautiful and is exactly what I had in mind when I purchased it. I will be adding additional support just for peace of mind.Read More
Simple, elegant bed
Very easy to put together. I was worried that there were no notches to show where some of the screws were to be placed, but it was simple to figure out. The size of all dimensions were just right for our new house with a smaller master room. Our 14" memory foam mattress fits snug and nearly doubles the floor height. If you had a thinner mattress, it might not look right or be comfortable climbing in or out.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hi, is there a recommended box spring for this frame? We purchased this a few months ago and the height of the mattress seems a little low for us. Thanks
I purchased this frame and felt the same way. We purchased a low profile bedframe from *. I was happily surprised at how nice it was. It does require assembly, but it is very easy to put together and I am pleased with its height.
Is the headboard measurement from the floor or from the frame?
Sorry, can't determine measurement as bed is in a vacation home, but it is very attractive. I think I bought 2 for two large bedrooms. I purchased king-sized bunkie boards to support heavy mem foam mattresses used.
Interested in the king bed but reading alot about the lack of supports. Can you purchased additional slats with the bed?
Unfortunately no, additional slats are not available for this bed.

Hi there, if I had a 14 in mattress and didn't use a box spring what would the height from the floor to the top of the mattress be?
Hello amaepotts, the height from the floor to the top of your 14-inch mattress would be approximately 23 inches. Thank you for shopping with us!
are the legs for this bed fixed, or do they screw in?
We are still researching this and should have the answer shortly.
Hello bigdealdave, I hope you are having a great morning. The legs screw in. Thank you for shopping with us.
Can this fit a Cal King size mattress?
Hello jimmydkate, I hope your morning is off to a great start. I am sorry but a Cal King would not work with this bed. Thank you for shopping with us and have a great day. Here is a link to what we have that would work. http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=cal+king+bed+frame&taxonomy=sto1&ralt=sto43,sub22394,sub2013&TID=AR:TRUE&searchtype=Header
How far apart are the slats?
Hello airmilt, I hope your day is going well. The piece of wood that the slats lay on is 74 1/2 inches long and the 12 slats are 2 1/2 inches wide. That is approximately a 2 1/2 inch space between the slats. Thank you for shopping with us.
Are the legs made of solid wood?
Yes. It's very sturdy. However, we did have to put supports under the bed along the middle due to it being a king and so wide. The mattress sagged in middle when we'd lay on it. You couldn't see the sag but you definitely tended to roll towards the middle.
Does the king size bed come in light charcoal finish?
Thank you for shopping with us furni2. I did not find this bed in charcoal. I will leave a link to black king size beds with the hope that something will catch your eye. Have a nice day.

According to the latest reports from NetApplications, Xp is still leading the OS worldwide even after ten years of its release. although windows 7 is now starting to catch up holding in the second place. so probably soon enought Windows 7 will take the throne. Windows Vista has got into the third place.
Microsoft announced that they will end the support for Windows XP in April 2014. so now will be a good time to start switching into the windows 7. although the most of the XP users wont be happy about the decision.

Diabetes Health Center
Many Girls With Diabetes, PKU Have Symptoms of Eating Disorders
April 27, 2000 -- Girls and young women with metabolic disorders such as diabetes or phenylketonuria (PKU) must often follow restrictive diets that will last throughout their lives. A new study shows that some of these girls and women develop serious eating problems and behave in ways that may worsen their health.
The findings suggest that living with diseases that have strict dietary requirements may affect patients' eating behaviors and attitudes toward food, increasing their risks of developing eating disturbances, researcher Joan C. Chrisler, PhD, writes in the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.
"There's almost an epidemic of eating disorders in this country among young girls," Chrisler, of Connecticut College in New London, Conn., tells WebMD. "There's a lot of bulimia, binge eating and chronic dieting. ... We were concerned about girls with chronic illnesses who are on diets that they must maintain for their metabolic health and safety. We wondered how they would react to these diets and whether they are at risk for eating disorders."
Together with colleague Jeanne E. Antisdel, MA, Chrisler studied girls and young women attending specialized summer camps for people with medical problems, along with staffers at the camps.
The first group they looked at was girls with type 1 diabetes mellitus, a condition characterized by the body's failure to make insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar. Diabetics must strictly monitor their consumption of sweets and starches to avoid gaining too much weight. Failure to follow a careful diet or take insulin properly can lead to serious complications, such as kidney failure, problems with blood circulation, and eye problems. The diabetes group included 54 girls and young women 11 to 21 years old.
The second group, consisting of 30 girls and women 11 to 36 years old, had PKU, a hereditary disease caused by the lack of the enzyme needed to break down the amino acid phenylalanine in the body. Phenylalanine is found in many foods containing protein, such as red meat, as well as in some fruits and vegetables and the artificial sweetener aspartame. Failure to follow the proper diet may lead to brain damage. These patients are often underweight and are urged to consume nutritional supplements to gain weight. They also may not grow to an average height because of their restricted intake of protein.

SEOUL, April 1 (Yonhap) -- South Korea will showcase its traditional crafts at one of the world's largest international furniture fairs set to open in Milan, Italy, next week, the culture ministry said Monday.
The government-led exhibit, "Constancy and Change in Korean Traditional Craft 2013," will be part of the Milan International Furniture Fair on April 9-14, the ministry said, adding that it will be the first time Korean crafts will be on display at the trade fair.
The annual fair, also known as "Milan Design Week," is the largest trade fair of its kind in the world with annual visitation numbers of 300,000 attendees from more than 150 countries worldwide. It showcases the latest in furniture and design from countries around the world.
"I want to show people around the world that Korea's rapid growth in various fields today came from the force of our traditional culture," Sohn Hye-won, the art director of the exhibit's planning committee, was quoted as saying in a press release from the ministry.
For the exhibit, the government has selected 16 traditional craft artists who are known for creating new things while preserving the value of tradition, said Sohn, the head of the Seoul-based brand consulting company Crosspoint.
Some 50 works by the 16 artists in seven fields such as ceramic art, metalworking and wooden furniture making will be displayed at a 200-square-meter exhibit hall in the Italian city's Triennale design museum, according to the ministry.
"I hope it will serve a chance to bring a new wind of traditional Korean crafts and Korean culture to the world design industry," Cho Hyun-jae, a vice culture minister, was quoted as saying in the statement.

…sex assault charges involving dead pigeons.
A Toronto minister is charged with two counts of sexual assault linked to alleged incidents at his small north-end Toronto church.
Two women allege they were forced to have sex against their will and had babies fathered by 59-year-old Frank Lawrence, pastor at Toronto Mount Zion Revival Church of the Apostles.
One woman told police that under the guise of spiritual healing, she had the blood of a sacrificed pigeon poured over her head and ointment rubbed over her body after a ritual bath in 1995.

Tip of the Day
Bayern Munich began the season as heavy favorite to land a 23rd title in German football, but midway through the campaign the country's most successful club is in unfamiliar territory.
The Bundesliga entered its four-week winter break with Borussia Dortmund at the top of the standings, some 14 points ahead of last year's champion.
Bayern's dismal season can be partly attributed to the fact the team started the campaign without its two superstars, Franck Ribéry and Arjen Robben. Since they returned to the lineup in recent weeks, results have improved to the point that Bayern is now fifth and may offer some value at 6/1 with Bet365 to overhaul Dortmund.
The league leader, however, has only lost twice in the league, and is still best-priced 6/17 with Bwin to win its first title since 2001-02.
An outside contender is FC Mainz. The club emerged as the surprise package of the season. Recent stumbles have seen it fall 10 points behind Dortmund, but a top-three finish is possible and currently available at 4/1 with Bwin.
Dortmund's Lucas Barrios and Shinji Kagawa have scored 16 goals between them—they are available at 16/1 and 50/1 respectively to be top of the scoring charts in May. Theofanis Gekas has 14 goals from 17 league games and is 7/2 with Unibet to be crowned top scorer. Bayern's Mario Gomez scored his second hat-trick of the season before the break and is 5/2 favorite to be leading scorer.

I think I have a simple request for VFB Pro V 1.8.
I would like a field that I can use to display text, html, images, etc that I can also control the field layout on. It could be as simple as modifying the Instructions form item to have a Field Layout option since the Instructions allows HTML tags.
My dream would be to have a Form Item that has WYSIWYG display like wordpress visual page post option allowing visual formatting and insertion of links, images, etc.
I'll settle for modifying the Instructions form item to have a Field Layout option. So I can put a field question and then more detail beside it.
thank you

Tyler Clementi's Rutgers Roommate Rejects Plea Deal
The Rutgers suicide saga is not over yet.
Dharun Ravi, the former Rutgers student haunted by his role in the suicide of his roommate Tyler Clementi, still faces charges including invasion of privacy and witness tampering, but today turned down a plea offer that included no jail time. The deal promised Ravi that authorities would attempt to stop his deportation to India, where he's a citizen, and proposed community service, probation, and counseling as punshment for his surreptitious videotaping of Clementi during a romantic encounter, and the alleged subsequent cover-up. "Simple answer, simple principle," said Ravi's lawyer. "He's innocent. He's not guilty. That's why he rejected the plea." Ravi has a month to reconsider before taking his chances at trial and dragging this thing out longer.
