Tuesday, September 8 2009 - Truth Movement News
AE911truth.org at Commonwealth Club - Live Stream Tonight
AE911Truth with Richard Gage, AIA
LIVE STREAMED from The Commonwealth Club of California
TONIGHT, Tuesday, September 8 starting at 5:45PM Pacific
An important event for the 9/11 truth movement will occur on Tuesday night in San Francisco when Richard Gage, AIA, speaks at the oldest public forum in the nation, The Commonwealth Club in California. Architects & Engineers For 9/11 Truth will webcast this event live on the Internet from our website AE911Truth.org.
We follow in the footsteps of the great David Ray Griffin, who first broke the 9/11 Truth barrier at the Commonwealth Club last year. In just under 40 minutes we will present the scientific evidence for the explosive controlled destruction of the 3 World Trade Center high-rises on 9/11. We will examine the behavior of these buildings as well as the explosive evidence found in the debris. More evidence may be found on our website and DVD.
A screening of this historic moment will be presented in New York City at 56 Walker Street. Also, everyone is encouraged to tune in on your own computer as Mr. Gage explains why the official conspiracy theory put forth by NIST is not supported by the evidence, and that explosive controlled demolition is, very unfortunately, the only viable explanation for the WTC destruction in New York City on September 11, 2001.
Pre-register! If you are local and coming please make sure to get your tickets today as it might be sold out.
We'll see you live at 5:45!

Lady Antebellum exploring names for Hillary's baby
Listen to Lady Antebellum on iHeartRadio
Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott admits she and husband Chris Tyrell still haven't picked out a name for their baby. It's the couple's first child, and they know they're having a girl.
Scott tells "The Country Vibe" she and Chris have a number of names that they like, but are having a very difficult time settling on one. She admits that they "might just have to wait until she's here" and they "get to hold her," and maybe she'll tell them "what her name is."
Hillary is also open to input from others, saying "any suggestions are greatly appreciated." And bandmates Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood are among those tossing out ideas.
They say they wouldn't object to Hillary naming her child after them. Charles likes the name Charlotte, while Dave is going with the name Daisy.
Scott's baby is due in July.

title: I Didn't Know That: Milking a Cow

allowUserEmbed: True

transcript:
JONNY PHILLIPS: This time, we're looking at something which has been consumed by mankind for thousands of years.
RICHARD AMBROSE: We're talking about milk.
But first, how is milk created?  Well in fact a cow has four stomachs.  The first stomach begins to break down the grass before it passes through the second and third stomachs where nutrient absorption begins.  Eventually, in stomach number four, gastric juices finish off the digestion process and nutrients extracted from the food are absorbed into the blood stream.  In the udder, the blood passes through very small blood vessels, surrounding groups of secreting cells called Alveoli.  It's these that actually produce the milk using the nutrients carried in the bloodstream.  Aside from the food they eat, cows must also drink plenty of water 18 litres of it produce just 4.5 litres of milk.
JONNY PHILLIPS: And the traditional way of milking a cow was of course by hand using a stool and a bucket, and I'm gonna give it a go.
NARRATOR: Farmers going back to the Iron Age milked cows in this way.
RICHARD AMBROSE: Jonny is that the first time you've done that?
JONNY PHILLIPS: Yeah.  She's obviously very full because that's coming out without much encouragement, but, it's not as easy as it might seem.
RICHARD AMBROSE:  There you go girls.
JONNY PHILLIPS: The average cow produces about 27 liters of milk a day, but it has been known for cows to produce more than a 100 liters in a day.  And you can drink the milk straight from the udder, as I am about to demonstrate.  There we go whisky. There we go.  Aahhh, that is absolutely delicious.
NARRATOR: Technology has entered the world of the Moo Cow.  Richard and Jonny have come to one of the most modern dairy farms in Britain where a laser-guided robot milks the cows.  It's called an Automated Milk Harvester and it operates 24/7, allowing the cows to enter of their own free will.
So talk us through the process, how does it work?
NEIL ROWE: Okay, the cows walk on from this side.  Come into the box and stand there.  They're identified by a microchip, which they have in a collar on their necks.  The computer will then decide whether it wants to milk this cow or whether to let this one go and take the next one.  So it's trying to be as efficient as it can.  It's always looking to harvest the maximum amount of milk every 24 hours.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Why would it let a cow go then, why would it not milk one?
NEIL ROWE: If she doesn't have enough milk in her udder, it won't invest six and a half minutes of its time for a small amount of milk, it's looking for a cow with about 10 litres of milk.
JONNY PHILLIPS: And sorry, just explain Neil, how does it know whether it's worth milking her
NEIL ROWE: It keeps a running total on every cow in the herd.  It can then calculate to within half a liter how much milk is in the cow before it starts to milk her.
RICHARD AMBROSE:  And how many cows a day is it milking?
NEIL ROWE: It'll milk 70 cows, 3 times a day.  It can do about 200 milkings over the 24 hour period.
RICHARD AMBROSE:  And what's the most say, a cow can yield?
NEIL ROWE: We've had cows on here that have given 100 liters in a 24 hour period.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Goodness me.
NEIL ROWE: Which is extraordinary isn't it.
RICHARD AMBROSE: That's massive.
NARRATOR:  Once the robot has committed to milking a cow, a brush system first cleans and sterilizes the teats with hydrogen peroxide to prevent any infection being passed on.  The orange brush then massages the cow's udder to encourage the production of the hormone oxitocin, which is needed to stimulate the milk flow.
NEIL ROWE:  The milk comes down through these tubes, goes through this electronic box and there's 10,000 pounds worth of sensors in there which monitor the quality of the milk.  It can see watery substances, cow muck, dirt, blood.  Anything which isn't normal in the milk, it will see it, and then it separates that milk out into these buckets and then when the process is finished, it takes about uh, 4 seconds to chill the milk down from 37 degrees down to 2 degrees.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Goodness me.
NARRATOR:  And it's not just the milk that's chilled.  This system can prove much less stressful for the cows.  In fact on this farm they're actually living an average of 30% longer than those on farms where they use more traditional milking methods.  But what happens if something goes wrong with milking when the farmer is not around?  Well, this technology is so advanced the robot just contacts him over the phone!
JONNY PHILLIPS: The system actually automatically contacts you if there's a problem?
NEIL ROWE: It does, yeah.  It will ring me immediately, within seconds of identifying a problem.  There are about 100 sensors on here that can all detect whether it's working correctly or not.  Any one of those finds a problem, rings me straightaway, gives me a message to tell me what the problem is.  I can then text back codes to try and fix the problem from where I am, or even if I've got my laptop and a wireless broadband connection, I can connect on anywhere in the world, using the cameras I can see what's going on and I can use my keyboard to sort the problems out.
RICHARD AMBROSE & JONNY PHILLIPS: Wow!

Trying to be Super Safe
The Super Bowl fans will gather to watch the game at sports bars, restaurants or Super Bowl-themed parties, and the authorities will be watching you.
The New York State Police is joining other law enforcement agencies in a special effort to crackdown on impaired and distracted driving during Super Bowl Weekend. These efforts began Friday, January 31 and runs through Monday, Feb. 3.
"Before choosing to drink, choose a sober designated driver," Troop G Commander Major Steven James said in a release. "Drunk driving is always preventable, and driving drunk could result in seriously injuring or killing yourself or someone else. Motorists can expect troopers, deputies and municipal officers to have a visible presence and to stop anyone who makes the dangerous decision to drink and drive."
Major James also emphasized that these efforts will also include a crackdown on Texting-While-Driving. While STOP-DWI and distracted driving efforts across New York State have led to significant reductions in the numbers of alcohol, drug and texting-while-driving related fatalities, lives are still being lost because of crashes caused by impaired and/or distracted drivers. Highly visible, highly publicized efforts like the STOP-DWI Crackdown and texting-while-driving campaigns aim to raise awareness about and reduce drunk or distracted driving.
If you're attending a Super Bowl party or watching the game at a sports bar or restaurant:
Designate your sober driver before the party begins.
Avoid drinking too much alcohol too fast. Pace yourself. Eat plenty of food, take breaks, and alternate with non-alcoholic drinks.
If you don't have a designated driver, ask a sober friend for a ride home; call a cab, friend, or family member to come and get you; or if possible stay where you are for the night and don't drive until you are sober.
Use your community's sober ride program.
Never let friends drive drunk.
Arrange a safe way for them to get home.
Always buckle up. It's still your best defense against other drunk drivers.
If you're hosting a Super Bowl party:
Make sure all of your guests designate their sober drivers in advance, or help arrange ride-sharing with sober drivers.
Serve plenty of food and non-alcoholic beverages at the party.
Host your party just like they do at the stadium. Stop serving alcohol at the end of the third quarter of the game. The fourth quarter is perfect for serving coffee and dessert.
Keep the phone numbers of local cab companies on hand and take the keys away from anyone who is thinking of driving drunk.
Remember, you can be held liable and prosecuted if someone you served ends up in a drunk-driving crash.
If an underage person drinks and drives, the parent may be legally liable for any damage, injury or death caused by the underage driver.
Likewise, parents or other adults who provide alcohol to, or host a party where alcohol is available to, those under age 21 could face jail time.
Rensselaer County Sheriff Jack Mahar advises residents to make the safe play and pass along their keys to a designated driver so that everyone can make it home safely.
We know drinking and driving is more prevalent over Super Bowl weekend, so we'll be taking extra precautions by adding extra patrols Friday night with heavy emphasis on Sunday evening.
The Super Bowl is one of America's most highly anticipated sports events, when friends and family gather in homes, bars and restaurants to celebrate. As Super Bowl Sunday approaches and football fans across the country prepare for the game, the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), along with the National Football League (NFL) and Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management (TEAM) Coalition, have joined forces with Rensselaer County Sheriff's Office to spread the message about designating a sober driver on Super Bowl Sunday, because – Fans Don't Let Fans Drive Drunk.
According to NHTSA, in 2011, 9,878 people were killed in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes. These crashes were 31 percent more likely to occur on weekends than on weekdays.*
Whether attending the game, watching at a bar or hosting a party, NHTSA, TEAM Coalition, the NFL and the [name] County Sheriff's Office remind everyone that Fans Don't Let Fans Drive Drunk. Before choosing to drink, choose your team's MVP – a sober designated driver. NHTSA offers these additional safety tips:
If you are hosting a party:
•Make sure all guests designate a sober driver before kickoff
•Serve plenty of food
•Offer a variety of non-alcoholic choices
•Be prepared for guests to spend the night
•Only serve alcohol to guests 21 and older
If you're attending a party:
•Designate a driver before the party begins
•Before you arrive have a cab company listed in your cell phone
•Avoid drinking too much alcohol too fast, and make sure to eat enough food
•Always buckle up- it's the best defense against other drunk drivers

Exactly 226 years after the signing of the U.S. Constitution, Francis Marion University will observe Constitution and Citizenship Day, Tuesday, Sept. 17.
Sponsored by the FMU Department of Political Science and Geography and the McNair Center for Government and History, the observance will be held from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. on the lawn of Founders Hall, near the fountain. This annual celebration is free and open to the public.
Students and faculty members housed under tents across the lawn will have several Constitution-related activities for attendees to enjoy – some to test their knowledge of the Constitution. Free mini-copies of the U.S. Constitution will also be distributed.
Representatives from all three branches of the federal government will be on hand to speak to attendees from 9 a.m. until noon. These include staff members for three members of the U.S. Congress who represent South Carolina, the U.S. Marshall for South Carolina, and a federal magistrate. For those who haven't registered to vote, Florence County Election and Voter Registration Office staff will be registering voters and explaining South Carolina's new voter photo identification law.
Constitution Day honors the signing of the Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787. U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia inserted language into the 2005 federal spending bill that requires all educational institutions, including colleges and universities, which receive federal funds from any agency to have programming for Constitution.

Malamud Lookin' Good, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- Here's our Southern editor, John Jeremiah Sullivan, on the art of preservation—not in the sense of manly survivalism but in the sense of making jam. His essay was recently nominated for a James Beard Award.
- And here's Charlotte Strick, our art editor, interviewed about her sharp new designs for the Bernard Malamud centenary.
- While we're at it, Daily contributor Caleb Crain has asked, "how much gay sex should a novel have?" ("The half answer, half protest that immediately springs to mind is, It depends. Many are the conditions that it depends upon.")
- And Daily contributor Willie Osterweil found that today's sports movies have comparatively few feats of athleticism in them. "There's a new breed of sports movie in town, one that does away with all that pesky team-building and ersatz democracy. These films celebrate the real heroes of sports, the real heroes of any workplace: the bosses."
- The lost art of memorizing poetry: "Many of today's prominent poets seem to be writing poems that actively resist memorization. Take John Ashbery, for example … As I walked uphill, repeating Ashbery's lines to myself, I found them as slippery as an eel."
- Why do we tend to place painful episodes in parentheses? A variety of literature has "windows in a wall of verse or prose that suddenly open on an expanse of personal pain. Masquerading as mere asides, they might hold more punch than parentheses are usually expected to hold, more even than the surrounding sentences, and have all the more impact for their disguise as throwaways."

D-backs' Shipley solid in pro debut
First-round pick pitches two shutout innings, strikes out two
By Jake Seiner / MiLB.com | July 2, 2013 10:34 PM ET
Braden Shipley was trying to treat it like any other game. And on the outside, he certainly made it seem that way. But that doesn't mean his professional debut came and went like just another start.
"It felt weird at first," the D-backs' 2013 first-round pick said. "I had the adrenaline pumping in the first inning. And then I went out for the second and I was a little bit tired just from pitching off all that adrenaline."
The 21-year-old right-hander worked effectively through his debut Tuesday night, calling on his full arsenal to retire six of the seven batters he faced in short-season Hillsboro's 3-2, 11-inning loss to Eugene.
Shipley allowed one hit in his two-inning stint. He struck out the first two hitters he faced, getting both Wynton Bernard and Henry Charles swinging, then retired Anthony Torres on a groundout.
In the second, Eugene's Trae Santos hit a leadoff double on a line drive to right field, took third on a passed ball but was stranded as Shipley got consecutive groundouts from Ryan Miller, Michael Miller and Michael Bass.
MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo rated Shipley as the ninth-best prospect heading into the Draft, grading his fastball as plus with the chance to be better. The 6-foot-3 right-hander has been clocked at 98 mph, making use of what Mayo described as a "quick, loose arm." His secondary offerings are not as advanced, but he has a breaking pitch and a changeup that could both become at least average offerings at the Major League level.
Despite being on the mound for the first time in five weeks, Shipley said he felt good using all three offerings from the outset Tuesday.
"I had all three pitches straight out of the gate," he said. "I knew I was only throwing two innings, but I was treating it like I was going deep into the game."
The D-backs' game plan for Shipley the rest of the summer is to cap him at around 150 innings by limiting his starts to three innings as he acclimates to pro ball. He pitched 107 1/3 innings for the University of Nevada this spring.
After being recruited as a shortstop, Shipley's arm impressed the Lobos coaching staff so much, they moved him to the mound full-time. The right-hander had a strong sophomore season and followed that with a dominant junior campaign in 2013. This spring, he went 7-3 with a 2.77 ERA in 15 starts. He struck out 102 batters, walked 34 and surrendered only four homers while limiting foes to a .218 batting average.
The D-backs picked Shipley 15th overall, making him the first Nevada product taken in the first round, and signed him on June 18 for a reported $2.25 million.
He reported to Hillsboro on June 19, and he and fellow 2013 first-rounder Aaron Blair have been working with Hops pitching coach Doug Drabek -- a former Cy Young Award winner.
"He's a great guy," Shipley said. "He has a lot of information that obviously he can give to us young guys. It's tough because they want to let us go out and pitch, especially the guys from the current Draft. They're not trying to work with us too much right now.
"They're letting us do our own thing, letting us get our feet wet and find out what it's like pitching in pro ball."
Tuesday was particularly special for Shipley because plenty of family and friends were on hand. He hails from Medford, Ore., which is a little under three hours from Eugene. Shipley's dad, Mike, as well as siblings, aunts, uncles, former coaches and friends were able to make the trip to see him.
In all, the debut couldn't have gone much smoother for the 21-year-old.
"The last couple of weeks have been pretty hectic," he said. "Once I got to Hillsboro, it felt better to be in the place and get a chance to step on the field and put on a uniform and everything. It was crazy with the Draft and all that. I'm glad to finally be back on the field, have it over with and be playing ball."
Emeralds starter Jeffrey Enloe allowed three hits and struck out seven over six scoreless innings. Eugene tied the game, 2-2, on Bernard's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth, then won it in the 11th on Ronnie Richardson's RBI single.

The vision thing
The Linux Foundation posted this on Facebook this morning: "TODAY'S NEWS: Torvalds, Shuttleworth and other Linux/OSS visionaries to be in Barcelona Nov 5-7. Will you be there?" Of course, it links to the press release here.
I would grant you that Linus Torvalds is a visionary — perhaps, arguably, an accidental visionary in the sense that he never expected the kernel he developed would grow into what it has become. But fortunately for everyone involved, Torvalds is a visionary who has kept a significant degree of humility amid the vast contribution to society he has made.
Looking at the lineup in the press release, I would have put Marten Mickos on the release as a "Linux/OSS visionary" instead. Mickos is the MySQL guy, despite the fact that it has gone through a couple of, um, changes since he sold it to Sun in 2008, and is now in the evil clutches of Oracle. Regardless of what it has become now, MySQL is an important piece of FOSS history, and Mickos deserves the visionary label, along with a degree of gratitude for fostering such an important project.
But Shuttleworth? I'm not so sure how he ranks as a visionary. Doing great work in promoting Linux/FOSS in financially backing Ubuntu is commendable and worthy of praise, but this is hardly "visionary." Add to this going off on his own to develop things that are generally not used by the wider FOSS community — Unity and HUD come immediately to mind — and arguably he has done more to stifle progress in the wider FOSS world rather than contribute to its advance. How this is visionary remains to be seen.
Further, I think I can put Shuttleworth's contributions to the wider FOSS paradigm better in perspective with a little help from The Oatmeal here. If Linus Torvalds is Nikola Tesla, then Mark Shuttleworth is Thomas Edison.
No, Linux Foundation, I won't be going to Barcelona for the European version of LinuxCon. But thanks for asking.

Enjoy the quiet?
Well, judging by the standing level of eyeballs that WordPress tracks on my behalf and passes on to me regarding this blog, it appears most everyone has enjoyed the quiet during the time there has been neither a hue nor a cry about anything — FOSS related or non-FOSS related — on this blog for the last three weeks or so.
Again, for the 40th or 50th time, I don't usually write something unless inspired or provoked, somewhat like a wasp (which also doesn't write unless inspired but usually provoked, but that's another matter). Also, if you add into the mix the fact that I get busy sometimes with the mystery of life and the trappings that surround it, then you'll have to just forgive me if these blog items are not more forthcoming.
Nevertheless, since I wrote last about the 20-second F-bomb the Linus offered in what was an outstanding one-hour-plus presentation — if anyone cared to watch the whole thing instead of getting persnickity about the offending clip — there have been a couple of items of note that crossed the radar. Like
Jon maddog Hall comes out: As I give him a tip of the hat, it's hard to imagine that I could think any more of Jon maddog Hall than I did before his recent essay on Alan Turing. But I do, and I think his essay is pretty remarkable — worthy of his choice of lager, should I have an opportunity in the near or distant future to buy him one. To some, this is not a big deal, and yet for others it is a big deal, and I can see both sides. It's not a big deal in the sense that his sexual preference neither adds nor subtracts from the great guy and outstanding contributor to FOSS that he is and has always been. Yet it is a big deal because it makes gays both less invisible and also shows that it's a lot harder to hate someone you know who's LGBT. I'm not doing the essay justice here, so read it yourself at the link above (worth the read — stop reading this blog and go there now, if you haven't read it already). I should also mention that he wrote the essay on the 100th birthday of Alan Turing who, if he did nothing else (and he did much), saved England, and the world for that matter, from the Nazi uprising in the 1930s and 1940s, and was thanked by the British government with imprisonment and chemical castration which essentially forced him to suicide.
Higgs Boson, brought to you by . . .: Winston Churchill — or was it Vikings running back Adrian Peterson? — once said that a lie travels halfway around the world before the truth can put on its pants. Or words to that effect. In any case, someone posted on reddit that CERN used Scientific Linux — which CERN developed (a fun fact about this Red Hat-based distro I did not know) — and, wait for it, Ubuntu. Meanwhile some in the FOSS press who should have better journalistic skills — Katherine Noyes for starters — ran with it because, well, someone on reddit said it, so it must be true. Well, having been in journalism since the day Jimmy Carter was inaugurated, I put my skills to work — something every reporter would do — to find a.) it was mostly Scientific Linux that gave physicists a leg-up on making this remarkable discovery, and b.) Ubuntu had little, if anything, to do with it. Proof? Linux @ CERN only mentions Scientific Linux and another blog item in German (incidentally, Google Translate speaks excellent German) outlines OS use at CERN.
What's missing? Ubuntu, of course.
Funny thing is that apologists for the Ubuntu Apocalypse brush this inaccuracy off as none of their concern. One response to me on social media was, in effect, "Well, did Canonical say it?" Actually, they didn't. But that doesn't make it any more accurate, and of course the right thing to do would be for either an Ubuntu advocate, or Canonical itself, come out and say, "Um, hold on a minute." But then doing the right thing may not be in the proverbial playbook for Ubunteros, but playing fast and loose with facts might be. At least it seems that way, a lot more often than not.
That's about all from here — as if that's not enough. I'm trying to confirm that Jaroslav Reznik from the Czech Republic has been named the Fedora Project Manager, taking the place of Robyn Bergeron who became the Fedora Project Leader, but for some reason, I can't seem to confirm that. So rather than offer congratulations, I'll just wait until that's confirmed or denied.

Fox Disappeared Bush-Era Gunwalking
Fox News correspondent William La Jeunesse falsely suggested that the ATF's Operation Wide Receiver occurred at "about the same time" as Operation Fast and Furious, in which ATF agents allowed guns to "walk" to Mexico in an attempt to build a case against a Mexican cartel. In so doing, La Jeunesse left out the fact that Wide Receiver, which used similar tactics, occurred during the Bush administration.
La Jeunesse Falsely Suggested Bush And Obama-Era Investigations Occurred At "About The Same Time"
Fox's La Jeunesse: "Similar Case Is Very Important Because It Was Happening About The Same Time" As Fast And Furious. From the November 1 edition of Fox News' Happening Now:
JON SCOTT: There is new information about a government gun-trafficking operation that put weapons in the hands of the drug cartels in Mexico. A top Justice Department official on the hot seat on Capitol Hill today, taking questions about Fast and Furious and another similar operation. William La Jeunesse live in Los Angeles with a look at that. William?
LA JEUNESSE: Hey, Jon. That similar case is very important because it was happening about the same time. [Fox News, Happening Now, 11/1/11]
Wide Receiver Was A Bush-Era Operation That Was Undertaken Nearly Two Years Before Fast And Furious. From The Washington Post:
Republican lawmakers for eight months have been leading the probe into "Fast and Furious," the controversial ATF gun operation, and trying to determine who in President Obama's Justice Department knew what, and when they knew it.
But it turns out there was another gun operation run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives years before, using the same tactics of allowing guns to flow illegally onto U.S. streets and into Mexico. This operation was conducted under the Bush administration's Justice Department.
Dubbed "Operation Wide Receiver," the case was run out of Tucson between 2006 and 2007 and involved hundreds of guns that were purchased by small-time buyers who transferred them to middle men who then passed them up the chain and into Mexico. [Washington Post, 10/6/11 [1]]
Fast And Furious Began In Fall 2009. From a joint staff report prepared for House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA):
In the fall of 2009, the Department of Justice (DOJ) developed a risky new strategy to combat gun trafficking along the Southwest Border. The new strategy directed federal law enforcement to shift its focus away from seizing firearms from criminals as soon as possible--and to focus instead on identifying members of trafficking networks. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) implemented that strategy using a reckless investigative technique that street agents call "gunwalking." ATF's Phoenix Field Division began allowing suspects to walk away with illegally purchased guns. The purpose was to wait and watch, in the hope that law enforcement could identify other members of a trafficking network and build a large, complex conspiracy case.

The swish package
Swish is a framework, written in the purely functional programming language Haskell, for performing deductions in RDF data using a variety of techniques. Swish is conceived as a toolkit for experimenting with RDF inference, and for implementing stand-alone RDF file processors (usable in similar style to CWM, but with a view to being extensible in declarative style through added Haskell function and data value declarations). It explores Haskell as "a scripting language for the Semantic Web".
Swish is a work-in-progress, and currently incorporates:
Turtle, Notation3 and NTriples input and output. The N3 support is incomplete (no handling of @forAll).
RDF graph isomorphism testing and merging.
Display of differences between RDF graphs.
Inference operations in forward chaining, backward chaining and proof-checking modes.
Simple Horn-style rule implementations, extendable through variable binding modifiers and filters.
Class restriction rule implementation, primarily for datatype inferences.
RDF formal semantics entailment rule implementation.
Complete, ready-to-run, command-line and script-driven programs.
Changes in version 0.9.0.12:
Updated the upper bound on the text dependency to include version 1.1 (requires an update to semigroups to use).
Changes in version 0.9.0.11:
Hackage has a better chance of finding the CHANGELOG file if it is included in the distribution! There are *no* changes to the library or examples.
Changes in version 0.9.0.10:
Renamed CHANGES to CHANGELOG in the hope it will get picked up by Hackage. There are *no* changes to the library or examples.
Changes in version 0.9.0.9:
Updated the upper bound on the semigroups dependency (thanks to Leif Warner).
Updated the upper bound on the text dependency (however, requires changes to intern and semigroups to use).
Changes in version 0.9.0.8:
Updated the upper bound on the semigroups dependency (thanks to Leif Warner).
Display library version when running the runw3ctests executable and ensure there is a space between file name and test result in the screen output.
Changes in version 0.9.0.7:
Minor documentation fix for Swish.RDF.Graph.quote.
Changes in version 0.9.0.6:
Turtle/N3 output: \f characters in literals are converted to \u000C to work around some interoperability issues.
Changed the test handling to use test-framework.
Changes in version 0.9.0.5:
Turtle/N3 output: more changes for string literals containing double-quote characters.
N3 Parser: parsing of string literals within three quote marks has been updated to match the Turtle parser.
Turtle Parser: a few more error messages have been added.
Changes in version 0.9.0.4:
Turtle parser: updated to the Candidate Recommendation (19 February 2013) specification; added minor improvements to error messages when given invalid syntax. As part of the upgrade, there is no longer a default namespace set up for the empty prefix and numeric literals are no-longer converted into a canonical form.
Turtle/N3 output: improved string formatting (better handling of string literals with three or more consecutive " characters); blank node handling has been improved but the output may not be as elegant.
NTriples parser: now accepts upper-case language tags such as en-UK (case is preserved).
Swish.QName.LName names can now contain #, : and / characters.
Added tests for the Turtle parser and formatter.
The new w3ctests flag will build the runw3ctests executable, which will run the W3C Turtle tests (if downloaded from http://www.w3.org/2013/TurtleTests/).
Minor fixes and additions to the documentation.
Changes in version 0.9.0.3:
Minor Haddock fix to Swish.RDF.Parser.Utils.appendURIs.
Changes in version 0.9.0.2:
Updated the upper bound on the polyparse dependency.
Changes in version 0.9.0.1:
Updated the upper bound on the semigroups dependency (thanks to Leif Warner).
Changes in version 0.9.0.0:
Updated to support hashable-1.2 series; although this should *not* change the API from the 0.8 series, I have decided to bump up the version to 0.9 just in case.
Fix failing test on 64-bit GHC (no change to the library).
Changes in previous versions can be found at https://bitbucket.org/doug_burke/swish/src/tip/CHANGELOG.

Hello friends,My Photoshop 7 version is not working and Disk is also not loading so i need a online free and full version of Photoshop 7 so please can anyone recommended me any source or link where i can download a full version or not a trial version. I am waiting for you reply. I was searched in google and can't find any website which offer a free version.
No. That would be illegal.
As locic_earth says, that is not the sort of thing you will find help with here.Instead, why don't you try one of these free PhotoShop alternatives?I can especially recommend Gimp.http://gizmodo.com/5974500/10-photoshop-alternatives-that-are-totally-free
Why this illegal?
It would be illegal for any site to host a full version of PS and offer it as a download to the masses.Presuming you have an original PS copy (with serial no.) and your disk is broken, your best bet is to contact Adobe directly.
As mentioned above, it is illegal to do see.I hope you kept your SN somewhere and then you can contact Adobe support (as Pullo suggested) and they will find a solution for you.
It's software piracy--the unauthorized distribution of copyright-protected software.
Ok Thanks for your advices. I bought a disc and install PS.
Good call!
Closed since OP resolved it (the right way :))

Mean Betty Wonders: Do We Need a Sequel to 'The Devil Wears Prada?'
'The Devil Wears Prada' book two, 'Revenge Wears Prada,' will be released next April. Do we care?
-Mean Betty
When first-time author Lauren Weisberger's book The Devil Wears Prada was released way back in 2003, it hit the best-seller book list and stayed there for months. Mean Betty remembers lending it out so many times that she was thinking about charging her friends a rental fee. Kittens, did you know that Lauren made over $4 million dollars in book and movie deals? Devil sold 1.2 million copies, so Meanie scoffs when she hears that people don't read any more! Or is it that people only like to read gossip dressed as a novel?
Kittens, you may ask yourself — why haven't you heard more from Lauren? Why haven't we fought over more of her books and gone to movies based on them? Lauren wasn't abducted by aliens — au contraire my lambies, she didn't go anywhere and neither did her other books. Yes kittens. Meanie did say "other books."
Lauren's followup to Devil was Everyone Worth Knowing. It hit the New York Times Bestseller list for two weeks, and then disappeared. The next one, Chasing Harry Winston was voted by Entertainment Weekly as the "#1 Worst Book of 2008." Lauren tried again with Last Night at Chateau Marmont back in 2010; Entertainment Weekly gave it a B.
Poor Lauren, you can't blame her for trying to re-capture her first book's glory again and again and again. After all if one of your books is voted as the worst of an entire year, you can either shop yourself into a coma, move overseas where no one's ever heard of Devil (could the only place be Antarctica?) or try again. Which is what she's been doing, and doing and doing. It could have been that the other books failed because they didn't get the publicity push that the first one did. It could have been that the publicity push for the first book and the idea that we were all reading an insider's view of Vogue overshadowed the poor writing of the first book and everyone realized the lack of skills in the following books. Meanie's leaning towards the latter theory.
Ten years have now passed — does anyone care any more about Devil heroine Andy and her cohorts? In the original book, Andy only wanted to work for a publication like the New Yorker and took the job as Miranda's second assistant so that she could get to her goal. In the book, she ignored her roomie's mental health issues, her friends, her boyfriend and, well basically anything that detracted her from (a) her goal and (b) her chance to whine about the good fortune she was cursed with. If Meanie's memory serves her well, Andy did end up at her dream job — with a little help from Miranda.
Read Mean Betty on Anne Hathaway's Ultimate Ex Revenge
Please don't think that Meanie's the only one who disliked Andy. There are legions of people who didn't like the first book, including someone who worked with Anna Wintour (whom we all presume to be the real version of Miranda Priestly, aka The Devil). That would be Kate Betts, the former Editor in Chief of Harper's Bazaar and now a contributing editor at Time and The Daily Beast. She wrote a essay in the New York Times after The Devil Wears Prada was published and stated "…Andrea also has an unbecoming superiority complex and is just as much a snob as the snobs she is thrown in with… But Andrea makes no bones about the fashion business being beneath her."
Kittens, if you have to the time, do read Kate's essay, it's interesting and oh, shall we say illuminating!
Let's get back to the sequel — Meanie wonders if it was written to pay for a mortgage or a pair of shoes or eighty. It's has such an original title too! Revenge Wears Prada. Does Lauren also hate Prada or does she just hate people who are doing better than her?
Andy, it turns out, didn't light any fires writing deeply interesting articles at her dream magazine. Now she's editing The Plunge, a bridal magazine (gasp! The horror!) and working with her one-time nemesis-turned BFF Emily (double gasp — she wants Emily Blunt to be in the movie version!) and is about to be married to the son of a titan of media (triple gasp!). Somehow the upcoming nuptials, Andy's wacky life at the magazine, and her general hijinks attract the attention of the great white shark known as Miranda Priestly.
Is the Miranda Preistly we'll meet if we bother to pick up the book a kinder, gentler Miranda? Or is she still a woman who would eat someone else's children for breakfast? Are we interested enough to find out?
Meanie does hope that Lauren's writing has finally improved so that EW won't label this one the worst of 2013.
So kittens, will you be beating on the doors of your fave bookstore next April waiting for Andy's sequel in the glam life of publishing or will you be washing your hair?

Auto Insurance for the Hard-to-Insure
If you're having a hard time getting auto insurance, it may be the result of your being classified as a high-risk driver. But being classified as high risk doesn't mean that you're entirely out of luck when it comes to auto insurance.
Definition of a high-risk driver
The definition of a high-risk driver varies, depending on the insurance company. However, if you've ever had a serious traffic offense (e.g., drunk driving) or multiple traffic offenses (e.g., speeding tickets), there's a good chance that you'll be classified as high risk. Other factors that could play a role are your age, the type of car that you drive, and your payment history.
Coverage for high-risk drivers
Many insurance companies have developed a more liberal philosophy when it comes to high-risk drivers. So even if your driving record isn't spotless, you may still be able to obtain insurance through a private insurance company. If this isn't the case, however, you may fall into your state's assigned-risk pool. Each state's assigned-risk pool works differently, but its main purpose is to make sure that every driver has access to some level of auto insurance. Although assigned-risk pool insurance does cost a lot more than a standard auto insurance policy, at least it ensures that you'll be covered.
What is an SR-22 form?
When you're classified as a high-risk driver, you may have to obtain an SR-22 form. This form confirms that you have auto insurance, even though you're in a high-risk classification. The laws regarding SR-22 status vary, depending on the state.
Ridding yourself of high-risk classification
There's no doubt about it--if you're classified as a high-risk driver, your insurance premiums are going to be expensive. So you're going to want to take steps to clean up your driving record. Some helpful hints for ridding yourself of high-risk classification:
- Drive safely and try to avoid causing an accident
- Drive within speed limits to avoid getting a speeding ticket
- Send your payments in on time
- If you drive a high-performance car, consider selling it or trading it in for a low-risk car (e.g., station wagon, sedan)
Once your classification is improved, you'll save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in premiums. You may have to be patient for this to happen, however, since some states keep violations on your driving record for as long as six years.

K-Mets Fall To Braves In 13
August 12, 2012 8:56 PM ET
It's not quite Christmas in July, but the Kingsport Mets definitely were in a giving mood on Sunday night. The K-Mets committed six errors, and surrendered three unearned runs as a result, during the rubber game of their Appalachian League series at Hunter Wright Stadium. The defensive gaffes helped Danville seize a 5-2 lead, and although the K-Mets rallied to force extra innings, the Braves prevailed in 13 innings, winning by a 6-5 margin.
It definitely was not the way Kingsport wants to head into its final scheduled off day of the season, before opening a four-game, three-night series with Johnson City on Tuesday that marks the K-Mets' penultimate homestand of the 2012 Appy campaign.
The K-Mets middle infielders had a rough night. Shortstop Anthony Chavez and second baseman Branden Kaupe each committed two errors. Chavez's first miscue came on a two-error play in the first inning that helped Danville score two runs. Chavez misplayed a groundball up the middle for a two-base gaffe, and an ensuing throwing error by Maikis De La Cruz in center field allowed the second run across the plate.
Kingsport got back into the game with a nice rally in the bottom of the seventh. Gavin Cecchini loomed large in the comeback, connecting on a bases-loaded single to make it a 5-4 game before a sacrifice fly by Jorge Rivero tied the score at 5-all.
That's where the game remained deadlocked until the 13th inning, when Logan Russell coaxed a leadoff walk, reached second on a sacrifice bunt and came home on Levi Hyams' line-drive single.
The K-Mets were retired in order in the bottom half, finally ending a marathon game that went more than four hours.
Rafael Briceno (3-1) picked up the win in relief, working the final three innings of the game. Kingsport's Rafael Estevez (0-2), who came in to start the 12th frame, took the loss.
Despite the errors, Kingsport had a golden opportunity to win the game on a walk-off in the ninth. The K-Mets loaded the bases and Jeyckol De Leon drew a 3-0 count from Danville reliever Bryam Garcia before striking out to send the contest into extras.
One bright spot for Kingsport in defeat was the pitching performance of Akeel Morris. The former opening-night starter made his third straight appearance out of the bullpen and went five scoreless innings, allowing two hits and two walks while tallying nine strikeouts.
NOTES: Cecchini, the Mets' first-round draft pick, was in the lineup for the first time since he broke the tip of a finger when hit by a pitch during an Aug. 1 game at Greeneville. Cecchini was the designated hitter, and tallied three singles. ... A short bench forced K-Mets manager Jose Leger to get creative when substituting. Two of the Mets' relief pitchers, Edioglio Villasmil and Flabio Ortega, came on as pinch runners in the late innings with Kingsport running low on healthy position players. ... Danville manager Jonathan Schuerholz was ejected in the bottom of the ninth for arguing balls and strikes. ... It was a rough Sunday for Braves outfielder Edison Sanchez, who went hitless in seven at-bats and struck out five times.

The first question:
Osho,Who are you and what type of play are you playing with us? And how long will you play? Please explain.
To be frank with you - which usually I am not - I don't know who I am. Because knowledge is not possible here where I am. There is only the knower left, the known has disappeared; only the container is left, the content is no more.
For knowledge to exist, a great division is needed in reality - the knower and the known. Between the two, knowledge happens. The known is a must for knowledge to happen.
The space I am in is absolutely undivided and indivisible. Knowledge is not possible. So, to be exact, I don't know.
And I would like you also to come to this innocent ignorance, to this state of not-knowing, because the state of not-knowing is the highest state of knowing - not of knowledge, mind you, but of knowing. And this knowing is contentless - not that you know something, there is nothing to know. You simply are. I am, but I don't know who. All identities have disappeared, just a tremendous emptiness is left behind.
I call it emptiness because you are full of identities - otherwise it is an absolute presence, not emptiness, not an absence. It is the presence of something which by its very nature is a mystery and cannot be reduced to knowledge.
So I don't know who I am, but I am tremendously content in this not-knowing. And whosoever has ever come to this door of not-knowing has laughed at all knowledge and the stupidity that goes on in the name of knowledge. Knowledge is mediocre. To be in the state of not-knowing is intelligence, it is awareness - and it is non-accumulative. Each moment that which happens disappears, it leaves no trace behind, no existential trace. One comes out of it again pure, again innocent, again like a child.
So I am a child on the seashore of time, collecting seashells, colored stones. But I am tremendously fulfilled. I know not who I am because I am not. When I say 'I am not' I mean that that 'I' no longer has any relevance. I use the word - obviously I have to use it and there is nothing in the word to be against it - but it is no longer relevant to my inner world. It is still of use with you, but when I am alone I am not. When I am with you, then this word I has to be used as a communicative device. But when I am alone I am not. Aloneness is there, amness is there, but the I is not. So who should know, and whom?

Where We Pick Up: The action begins merely seconds after Shelburne opened the door and Steve uttered, "Mom?"
It was at Holbach's that Shelburne met Morellet with whom he carried on a long and serious correspondence on economics.
He invited Shelburne first, and then Gower, to form a ministry.
Informal negotiations began between Shelburne and Franklin, who for many years had been warm friends.
In this matter Shelburne does not appear to have been guilty of intrigue.
Composition, character, and policy of the Shelburne Ministry.
No canoe ever got out of the upper Shelburne River quicker than ours.
Franklin also sent a letter to Shelburne, describing Oswald as a gentleman with whom he found it very pleasant to deal.
He respected Shelburne, however, as one who trusted the people, and was distrusted by the Whig aristocracy.
Shelburne, telling him what he had missed, went on:-'I dare say the Doctor will be kind enough to give it to us again.'

Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj Are Barbie Dolls for Charity!
Place a bid on these Katy Perry or Nicki Minaj Barbie dolls and help raise money for the charity Project Angel Food!
-Lucia Peters
Have you ever wished that you could just snap up Katy Perry and/or Nicki Minaj and keep them in your pocket? Well, now you can—and you can help out an amazing cause while doing it!
Mattel has produced one-of-a-kind Barbie dolls of both Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj, and guess what? CharityBuzz is auctioning them off. CharityBuzz offers you the chance to win everything from designer merchandise to experiences with your favorite celebrities, and each winning bid raises money for well-respected charities in support of dozens of different causes. From now until December 19, though, there's an extra-special set of auctions going on: The Divine Design annual fundraising event for Project Angel Food. By putting in a bid for one (or both!) of these pop-tastic dolls, you can help Project Angel Food deliver free, nutritious meals to men, women, and children affected by HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life-threatening illnesses.
The Katy doll is inspired (of course) by her "California Girls" getup, though the cupcake boobs are notably missing. Instead, she sports a dress with a skirt featuring 70 hand-painted mini cupcakes and a glittery bodice, as well as fishnet stockings dotted with Swarovski crystals. She also carries a candy cane microphone and comes with a waffle cone display stage with ice cream mountains and cotton candy clouds.

The Nicki doll, on the other hand, is dressed in an exact replica of her frilly pink dress from the Pink Friday album cover. Her shoes are just as crazy-high, and although you can't quite see it in this image, she's even got her signature tattoo on her left arm.
The high bid on Katy is currently $3,000 with a minimum next bid of $3,250, while Nicki is going for $3,355 with a minimum next bid of $3,605. Both auctions will be open for two more weeks, so if you've got a major Barbie, Katy, or Nicki fan in your life and have the cash to burn? Well, all we can say is, "best holiday gift EVER." And Project Angel Food will thank you for it! Place a bid on Katy here or on Nicki here. Happy bidding!

Ask your child's care provider if you wish to speak to a financial counselor or call (414) 266-6200. Learn more about billing, payments and insurance.
All children 12 years old and younger should ride in the back seat of the car. Children younger than 8 should be in a car seat or booster seat made for their age and weight.
If you have questions about car seats or booster seats, ask your child's care provider to contact the injury prevention educator at Children's Hospital or make an appointment with the Car Seat Clinic by calling (877) 607-5280.
MyChart allows you access to a portion of your child's electronic medical records, send secure messages to your doctor's office, and more. This will help you to be more involved in your child's care. Talk to your doctor or get more information.
Some children may require continued medical care after they have been discharged from the hospital. There are several organizations that offer professional community-based skilled nursing services to our patients, including:

text: For some reason when I select "Lock Session" in KDE nothing happens and if I try to Configure KDesktop and click on Screen Saver, the window crashes and if I try to select another desktop, its a black screen and I have to reboot my system as system/KDE locks up. Actually its a strange phenomena, applications which are already running keep running but the desktops disappear and trying to get a context menu with right-mouse button is inefective and a reboot is required for full functionality. I think this occurred after a crash and e2fsck does not fix it. Any Idea how I can fix this problem please?

Alonzo Guyton was known for many things. His state championship track performance. His musical talent. His stint in the Marines. For many, he was best known for his enormous smile. Family and friends knew a concert in his honor would have brought out the smile.
On April 21, Wayne Pridgeot Stadium at Chiefland High School hosted the first annual Alonzo Guyton Memorial concert. The concert raised over $1,600 for a scholarship in his name.
All that would have made Alonzo very happy.

The State of Sexual Health in the US South: Opportunities and Challenges
Yanyi K. Djamba, Theresa C. Davidson, Mosisa G. Aga

Advances in Applied Sociology,
Vol.2 No.4,
ABSTRACT: This paper examines the socio-demographic characteristics and the state of sexual health in the US South, a region comprised of 10 states: Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The results show that the region is home to 18 percent of the US population, but its residents are statistically significantly more likely to have lower educational attainment and to live in poverty than other US residents. In addition, residents of the US South have poor sexual health compared to their counterparts living in other regions. Teenagers who live in the US South are more likely to get pregnant and have babies than teenagers in other regions. Likewise, the rates of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea among females age 15 - 19 were higher in the US South than elsewhere in the US. This poor sexual health cost the 10 US South states an estimated $2.3 billion in 2008. The paper concludes with a discussion of the sexual health challenges and opportunities in the US South in light of new federal funding streams that allow for the use of evidence-based approaches in sexual health programs.

Notes from The Jungle Room
Next up: OSCON. Get there if you can — it's starting today — and give them my regards because I can't make it this year 😦
The new apartment has what is considered by my family a sort of study, but it's quickly becoming the computer lab that I lost when I gave up my commercial space. That lab, of course, was dubbed "The Jungle Room," after the man cave at Graceland. The study has been dubbed the same.
[Yes, if he had done nothing else, Elvis would have earned my respect and admiration for inventing the man cave decades before the concept existed on cable TV. Uhthankyouverymuch]
Before I continue, allow me a mea cupla: In my last item, I wrote about Openbox and referred to a "desktop" in the same paragraph. Technically, Openbox is a window manager, not a desktop environment, as I was so dutifully reminded by an astute commenter. True. However, when using the term "desktop," I was actually referring to what one sees on their screen as opposed to a specific desktop environment — my bad for being unclear.
Nevertheless, as the last moving boxes are being punted out the door (Oh, I will take them down to the recycling bin shortly), I wanted to drop off in today's blog a couple of items worth mentioning in FOSS news over the last few days, like . . . .
Mac hardware to get that shiny Chrome look? The VAR Guy drops an interesting hint in a column late yesterday outlining the proposition that Google's Chrome OS has been compiled for the MacBook Air, thanks to a blogger/hacker named Hexxeh. "It's a unique utopia, and one that won't likely exist anytime soon," he writes. "But the alleged smoothness in which the MacBook Air runs Chrome OS is worth watching." Indeed, and the VAR Guy promises a review of Chrome OS in the near future. Watch that space.
Matt Hartley gives us the business: On a couple of rare occasions I've crossed proverbial swords with Matt Hartley, but for the most part his articles are informative and newsworthy. Special mention goes to yesterday's Datamation item about choosing the right distro for your business. In the wrap-up, Matt writes that, "Everyone is going to have different needs. A company's decision may range from weighing what type of support is needed down to selecting a community-based option over a highly specialized Linux distribution. With every example presented above, the common theme is that Linux offers plenty of choices." Amen to that.
At ease, soldier: You find developers of Linux in the most interesting places; like, oh I don't know, the U.S. Department of Defense, for example. The DOD brings us Lightweight Portable Security (LPS) Linux, which is a live CD focusing on privacy and security. It boots from a CD and executes from RAM, providing a browser, a file manager and some interesing tools. From the screenshots at Unixmen, it looks surprising like . . . Windows. Now if that's not great camouflage, I don't know what is. I haven't tried it yet — I might soon — but if it runs off a CD and has all the tools I can use, it might replace the Ultimate Boot CD and Knoppix CD that I usually carry and often lose.
Last, but not least . . .
An extra chair at the dinner table: Until recently, Lubuntu was an independent project based on Ubuntu — Ubuntu with the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment, or LXDE for short. Starting with Ubuntu 11.10 in November, however, Lubuntu will join the Ubuntu family as an official variant, according to this article on the Liliputing site. Welcome to the family, Lubuntu.

Does the First Amendment protect animal activists as they use drones to spy on farmers and ranchers?
That's the question being asked as more states across the country pass laws to protect the privacy of producers. According to the Washington Post, however, legal experts anticipate that this answer is "yes," but courts have not yet considered the question.
Earlier this year, PETA announced it planned to use drones to watch hunters and farmers, and many have expressed concern about the ramifications of the invasion of their privacy.
In response to the growing use of drones by these activists and others, six states have passed laws to regulate drone use. In Idaho, for example, a drone privacy bill goes into effect on July 1 that will require a farmer's permission before "farm, dairy, ranch or other agricultural industry" can be monitored with an unmanned aerial vehicle.
"It comes down to private property rights," Idaho farmer Robert Blair said in an interview with Capital Press. "Would I let people walk around my farm without an invitation? In PETA's case, I am not giving permission to fly over my farm."
A similar bill introduced in the Missouri House earlier this year put similar restrictions on drone surveillance. The bill's sponsor, Rep. Casey Guernsey of Bethany, Mo., points that it is "completely reasonable for citizens to rely on constitutional right for reasonable expectation of privacy."
Texas is another state limiting drone use in private use. The legislation, signed by Gov. Rick Perry last week, includes a "broad prohibition" on public and private drone use and a long list of exceptions. However, this approach illustrates the complexity of private drone regulations.
At least one legal expert believes that these laws raise First Amendment problems. Marot Kaminski, a Yale Law School scholar, believes that Idaho and Texas are "likely to end up with a ruling that says this doesn't pass First Amendment muster."
Read, "Can state laws protect you from being watched by drones?"

WILLISTON - Make no mistake, the Chiefland High baseball team is in the midst of a fine season.
The 14-3 record through this past Monday speaks volumes for that.
But every once in a while, the Indians just don't have it. And when they're bad, they're pretty darn bad.
Take Monday's 11-4 loss to Dunnellon on the first day of the Williston Spring Break Tournament, for example.
Lackluster, lethargic and lifeless are just a few adjectives on how the Indians looked.

A majority of the blog posts thus far have been more geared toward authors publishing work for the general fiction reader. But what if you've written an academic, professional, or technical book that doesn't have the far-reaching market of a novel? Should you follow the marketing guidelines put forth thus far?
Well, yes and no.
Building a community through social media is important no matter who you're writing for. However, there are certain aspects niche marketers need to pay more attention to, such as:
Planning your book's release: Trade books can be released at any point of the year because there is always a willing market of readers. Professional, academic, and technical books are another story altogether. You wouldn't release a manual for the iPhone4S a month before the iPhone5 is scheduled to come out, nor would you release an SAT guide in May, right after a majority of high school juniors in the country have taken the test. So, before you decide on a release date, research sales spikes for your topic to determine the best season and month for publication.
Finding your niche: This should be a goal for all writers, but it's especially important for those who write about more obscure or challenging concepts. The good news is that, given the narrow breadth of your topic, you have a smaller community to break into — and thus more of a chance of being noticed. So even before you finish your book,

JTV and POD HD500 Multi-effect: Building the Perfect Beast

Rock Creek resident surprises burglar
Early Sunday morning, Sheriff's Deputies were called to a residence in the 4000 block of NW Malhuer Avenue concerning a burglary.
The homeowner reported he heard a noise in his dining room area and he went to investigate. He told deputies he saw an unknown man run from the house exiting the rear sliding door. The homeowner told Sheriff's Deputies that the door had been left unlocked from the night before.
Multiple deputies converged upon the area in an attempt to capture the man. Deputies were assisted by a Hillsboro Police K9 and handler. After over one hour of searching, Sheriff's Deputies located Garrett Fitzgerald, 48, a transient, walking in the area with wet and muddy clothing. Garrett Fitzgerald was identified as the man that was in the house.
Nothing was reported missing from the house. Deputies believe Mr. Fitzgerald was in the process of burglarizing the home before he was scared away. There have been vehicle break-ins recently in the Rock Creek area. The vehicles were left unlocked and valuable items were left in plain view.
Garrett Fitzgerald was lodged in the Washington County Jail charged with Criminal Trespass and a Parole Violation warrant for a previous Burglary. He is held without the possibility of release.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office reminds citizens to keep doors and windows locked and valuables secured and out of sight.

Patrick Dempsey Gossip
Patrick Dempsey gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
The perennial first runner up
For years, at the height of Grey's Anatomy's popularity, Patrick Dempsey was always second place. And back then – why am I talking like it was 1960? – Dr McDreamy was just as buzzy as Don Draper. And remember, on a main network like ABC, Grey's ratings dwarfed Mad Men. But the Sexiest Man Alive is a Movie Star. Full Story
But will there be a story?
Well... it's a Michael Bay movie. Transformers 3 continues to shoot in Chicago – here's Shia LaBeouf in a suit taking a break on set yesterday. So cute. Also Patrick Dempsey and Shia earlier in July and on the weekend shooting a post-destruction scene. They have similar hair, non? Yeah Patrick Dempsey is in this mess too. Full Story
Does it seem...
Like Adrien Brody is always, kinda, posing? Or is his body just made that way? With a lean or something. Adrien and Keanu Reeves were at the 2010 Toyota Pro Celebrity Race Press Day this afternoon along with Patrick Dempsey, Christian Slater, and Brian Austin Green, among others. As you can see, they were all photographed together and only Adrien seems like he's trying to turn it into a Vogue editorial. Full Story
Sunny & Scowl
A spectacular Reese Witherspoon showed up at the Avon event in New York last night. And she knows it too. Look at that smug little face. America's Sunshine is the Avon spokesperson, and she certainly pulled it all out for the photos to make sure the Avon name gets enough play today. As for Jakey, well, he's in NYC too. Full Story
Portraits of Patrick
Gorgeous. He's in France for the LeMans 24 hour race enjoying his Grey's hiatus and the benefits of his paycheque...from the show and movies like Made of Honour. Patrick may be the perennial silver medallist in the Sexiest Man sweepstakes but having achieved a rare teen to bleak to adult success comeback in Hollywood, he - unlike so many of his female tv contemporaries - appears to have tamed the itch to overreach. Full Story
Wedding = Ratings?
What is it with the MiniVan Majority and its obsession with weddings and babies? They can't resist either. Here are photos of the cast of Grey's Anatomy shooting a mystery wedding scene today for the end of season. Get out your hankies! Ghost boyfriends, brain tumours, proposals, and now a wedding…Shonda Rhimes is trying every trick in the book to keep her show relevant when it stopped being relevant oh a year ago, maybe more? Anyway, if you do care to play photo detective, note that Ellen Pompeo/Meredith is wearing purple underneath that coat. Full Story
The best McDreamy
He was never my quiver even at the height of Grey's Anatomy. But I know he was/is for many of you. I've interviewed Patrick Dempsey – am happy to tell you in person he's even more charming. Truly lovely. And sexy too but not in a skeevy way either. It's just… hard not see his wife's bitch face, you know? Here are my favourite photos of Patrick Dempsey, ever. Full Story
Where`s Princess AssTalk…
When you actually need her??? If there was any time for Katherine Heigl to come out and run her mouth like she loves to do, it would have been yesterday as news spread of Brooke Smith's firing because ABC couldn't handle the MiniVan homo hate. And yet the Crown Princess of AssTalk has remained curiously quiet. Full Story
Dry Bitter Melon Peels needs The Secret?
Last month on my birthday I broke my goddess charm – a red string pendant I've worn around my neck for years. It was moldy and frayed and still, I had it with me on every occasion, even the dress up ones. And then I dropped it and it cracked and for an entire night I couldn't reach my mother and, paralysed with fear, I spent the evening of my 35th birthday living as though it would be my last. Full Story
The New Cloon
You're right. Many of you have complained that I don't give Mad Men enough love. True. I should. And many are even more upset that Jon Hamm isn't allotted enough quiver space. Not that I dispute it if he's yours but Jon Hamm isn't my particular loin poison. However, after watching him host Saturday Night Live this weekend, one thing is for sure: there is finally an heir to George Clooney. Full Story
Donatella or BitchFace?
Patrick Dempsey showed up at the Whitney gala last night without his scowly wife. Replacing her on his arm was none other than Donatella Versace who…well… you know what I'm about to say, I don't have to say it, because all of you are feeling it: she's raping your eyes. Full Story

Man Eating Crocodile Shot by Hunter in Africa
A hunter shot this man eating crocodile in Africa. When they were cleaning him, they found a partially digested person inside.
To crocs, we were just part of the food chain, and man eating crocodiles are fairly common. Crocodile hunters often discover bracelets, bits of jewelry and human remains in the stomach of crocs when they clean them.
The most deadly existing reptile, the crocodile has always been on the "Man's worst enemies" list. It evolved over 170 million years ago as an efficient killing machine. More people are killed and eaten by crocodiles each year in Africa than by all other animals combined. Their instinct is predation, to kill any meat that floats their way. Native's in Africa won't eat crocodiles because they feel they are eating their relatives. That's how many man eating crocodiles there are in Africa.
Hunting Crocodiles:
Crocodile hunts are often done as a croc, hippo combo hunt. Crocodile hunting is surprisingly challenging and you should plan on at least 10 days to find and take a big one. What you do is find where a big male croc lives and wait for him to come out on the bank to lay in the sun. Once you find the one you want, you have to take a shot at a tiny bump on top of his skull. These animals can be over 100 years old and risky shots are not allowed. A croc hunt is a very cool adventure!
If you have a weak stomach, beware. These pictures are…. graphic to say the least.

Chad your stuff is dope you should just keep sketching constantly and post a lot
rough photoshop sketch... hope it works this time
Last edited by Legendary; 06-22-2010 at 11:19 AM.
Legendary- im liking that E. not so much the N and check that thickness on the A. Keep at it though. Props for doin that on photoshop.
Chadone- I really liek it. I maybe wouldve rounded out the C just cause the D is round but I like that you're trying diff things.
trying to get back into sketching, i didn't do a lot since i got busted,i want to do some exchanges now.
romero- do you want to exchange,i wwrite ERG at the moment.
Treating every day like it's the weekend, this is not how i was raised...
But if it were just the doggish seal looking shit, with the legs turning into letters, without the doubled back stuff on the a and r, and the extension off of the r, it would actually looks pretty sweet for a "just for the hell of it".
& on your handie, cut off the o looking thing with the 1 in it and just write it out like CEASR ONE
Yeah, Keanu is a trolling ass bitch. Who wastes a lot of paint on a "burner" simple, that wasn't even done right. No style whatsoever.

AKD + AKWD (p.s. stars are fucking hard to draw...)
lazy AKWD
awk - 3d pic on the top looks good
ceaser on the pink i think the loop of the r shouldnt be so big,same thing with the r on the other one..get a ruler and do a straight line on the top and bottom so u can keep all the letters at the same level.
chad - looks dope but the bottom left of the c im not feelin,everything else is on point
kane - im feelin all the letters except the a,sketch that out but make it cleaner

I said EURO STYLE, MSK STYLE, GBAK STYLE, AND SATANIC STYLE ARE THE FUTURE OF GRAFFITI. Separate things.
and MSK has members worldwide. Just because you only suck the top few members' dicks doesn't mean there aren't awesome writers from Europe who have a similar style to that.
EDIT: Hey, look, Tofe, Keanu did something you STILL can't do correctly. A straight letter simple. ^^^
i simply said that keanus style reflects nothing to msk and u said so urself its "msk-oriented" ..when did i even mention europen writers,stop talking out of ur ass kid

John Singleton To Direct Tupac Biopic
The long awaited biopic about slain rapper Tupac Shakur is one step closer to becoming a reality.
The film will revolve around the rapper's rise to fame and his murder in Las Vegas in 1996.
"Variety" has confirmed that filmmaker John Singleton will direct and produce that untitled project. He is also slated to rewrite the film's screenplay. With Singleton behind the project, the film could get on its feet by the summer. Before Singleton signed on, Training Day director Antoine Fuqua was expected to head up the film.
Singleton directed Tupac in the 1993 film Poetic Justice, which also starred Janet Jackson and Regina King. Singleton is also known for directing Boyz n the Hood, Baby Boy, Four Brothers and 2 Fast 2 Furious.

It's an article of faith among the digerati of Silicon Valley: Going public is the key to innovation. Sure, an IPO makes them rich (most of the time), they acknowledge, but in the end the whole world benefits from the storm of innovation their newly public companies unleash.
Not so fast.

A study by a finance professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business finds that innovation slowed down by about 40 percent at tech companies after they went public. That's right: It declined, as measured by the number of patents these companies generate and by the quality of those patents.
What's more, the real generators of innovation -- the inventors -- tend to leave when their companies went public, and the ones who stay behind show a steep decline in "innovation quality." Indeed, the newly public tech companies become much more dependent on buying technology from outside -- usually by making corporate acquisitions, which is to say that they outsource innovation.
Shai Bernstein's study is no broadside against Silicon Valley or the need to raise capital. Without an infusion of cash, which is what an IPO produces, young companies might well die in infancy and thus never innovate. And the prospect of IPO riches does attract huge numbers of bright people to the industry. Still, Bernstein's work is a counterintuitive corrective to a self-serving myth, and it raises important questions about the real wellsprings of creativity and innovation.
Patents measure innovation
As broken as our patent system may be, it's still the best measure of innovation, so that's where Bernstein started his analysis. He looked at thousands of companies that announced plans to go public between 1985 and 2003 and compared those that actually completed their IPOs to those that later withdrew them. To make the comparison as equal as possible, he looked at companies that announced their IPOs in the same year and were in similar technology sectors.
He looked at data on nearly 40,000 patents awarded to companies before and after they said they were going public. But not all patents are created equal when it comes to innovation and originality, so Bernstein factored in two other criteria: He scored the importance of each patent by seeing how many times it was cited in other patent applications, and he scored them by how many different technologies each patent cited.
Five years after those companies went public -- or decided not to -- the results were striking: The quality of the patents issued to the companies that did go public declined by 40 percent. But patents granted to the companies that stayed private didn't change very much.
