The movie industry is always looking for help when it comes to financing motion pictures, especially the really big, expensive kind. Companies who lay down lots of cold, hard cash are molding products, logos, and slogans into the very building blocks of our entertainment, often without audiences even realizing it. The new trend, of course, is to mock product placement even as you feature the product: "30 Rock," I'm looking at you!
Today's Top 10 look at product placement comes from Elliot Kort and Abby Olcese, the Two Awesome Movie Nerds from Lawrence, KS. Check out their own personal list of favorite Top 10 Product Placements in Movies here. Also, be sure and leave them some comments because there are a metric crap-ton of other prominently featured products in movies these days. Let's hear what you have to say, too! If you have a Top 10 list of your own, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Since the G10 and the XF100 are identical sensor-wise (doesn't mean they are as far as their MWB is concerned, I know) and I am looking very closely at the G10, what would your opinion be on their MWB capabilities compared to those of the CX550?
Absolutely no idea. You'd need to take it underwater and test it.

Ive been saying this forever but I dont understand why all these fanboys think this team is some machine and dynasty waiting to happen.
They ARENT that good. When they play good teams there flaws get majorily exposed.
No way this team beats either OKC or the Spurs
is it just me or Wade looked a lot better last year, he looks sluggish and is missing a lot of shots
What ive seen tonight is just a continuation of what ive seen all season
the way people talk up this team is hilarious
Ya the road team gaining home court advantage after game 1 is nothing hahaha
The excuses these Heat fans come up with are a riot.
To add to there obvious flaws, they show up to play when they want.
they will prolly come back and win this game but it doesnt matter, once they play the big dogs (okc, spurs, celtics) this garbage wont fly.
Lebron covers up for a lot of flaws that this team has...and D Wade covers up the flaws too
But make no mistake about it....LBJ and D Wade are the best one two punch in the NBA and thats what makes Miami special
The holes to me that RILEY must fix are obvious
backup PG is still missing....what happended to Coles?
Rebounding....why Riley did not acquire a legitimate BIG to grab 8 to 12 rebounds a night is puzzling....it puts a lot of extra pressure on LBJ and D Wade....heck at SF...LBJ is leading rebounder and that is inexcusable and problematic
consistent outside shooting.....James Jones needs to be on the floor more...Miller is still searching for his consistent shooting touch
To me, those are the major flaws....everytime has flaws...no team is perfect
hopefully, Riley will get a BIG on this team and one more outside shooter then the Dynasty talk will be legit

Can Linux Help Both Haves and Havenots?
Linux For All Worlds
How does Linux help IT companies make money, while at the same facilitating computer access among the world's "havenots"? In a special session at the CeBIT America, sponsored by the Business Council for the United Nations, representatives from IBM, Red Hat, Oracle and other organizations explored some manifestations of the paradoxical role played by Linux in today's global economy.
"We're in this for the money," said IBM's Sam Docknevich, echoing an admission frequently made by others during the roundtable discussion.
According to Docknevich, who is IBM's Linux and grid services executive, Americas, the profit motive serves the best explanation for why IBM has established Linux centers for customers worldwide, and has invested heavily in two leading Linux distributors, Red Hat and Novell/SuSE Linux. "(But) we've invested in both of them because we believe in choice and freedom," Docknevich added.
Jon "Maddog" Hall, moderator of the special session, touted "services" as the way for IT firms to prosper from Linux.
According to Hall, who heads up Linux International, "services" are about a lot more than burger-flipping, even though many people still associate the word mostly with low-paying, menial work. Doctors, lawyers, and IT consultants are all service providers, too, he suggested.
"Open source" doesn't necessarily mean that users get everything for free, the panelists agreed. Quite often, vendors will give away software, while charging for professional services.
"Everything we do (at Red Hat) is about 'open source.' It's really in the blood of our company." said Paul Cormier, executive VP for engineering at Red Hat.
The term "open source," though, pertains not just to "the bits," but also to "the process," according to Cormier. "('The process') is about the services needed to keep the bits functioning."
Cormier also said he wants to dismiss stereotypes anybody might hold that all Red Hat practitioners are "blue-haired kids."
Wim Coekaerts, Oracle's director of Linux engineering, pointed to another way in which Linux helps vendors to make money. Proprietary software companies, including Oracle, typically need to sell their software. "We have to keep our shareholders happy," he acknowledged. However, by combining proprietary software with an underlying open source operating environment, vendors can effectively drive down total system pricing, Coekaerts indicated.
Yet Coekaerts also suggested that small companies are often in particular need of professional Linux services. He told the sad tale of one small firm, which somehow managed to "lose all of its source code, after going 'open source.'"
Companies without inhouse expertise in open source and Linux "don't want to go out there alone," Coekaerts maintained. Organizations should also make sure that any improvements they make to open source code get funneled back into the open source community, he recommended.
Open source, though, isn't for everyone, according to Hall. If a company -- or a country -- is already using Windows without any problems, it might be better off sticking with Windows, he implied. Linux, on the other hand, often works best for entirely new implementations.
In the interests of international standardization, every major Linux distribution has now gained Linux Standard Base (LSB) certification, said another panelist, Scott McNeil, consultant and former executive director at the Free Standards Group. The standardization group is now looking at submitting LSB for ISO certification by next year, he said.
Although panelists stood unabashed about their profit motives, they also talked about how the Linux OS is now starting to benefit traditionally 'havenot' nations.
According to Hall, Linux is just on the verge of gaining the leading OS market share in both China and India.
According to Docknevich, IBM's customers include organizations in China, India, Russia, and Brazil, for example. Russia is deploying Linux at 50,000 schools, and China is about to roll out Linux at 12,000 post offices.
Red Hat's Cormier noted that Linux is also particularly strong in Eastern Europe, an area of the world that was "shut off from Microsoft" for many years.
Oracle, for its part, is active in the Chinese market through an investment in Red Flag Linux, Coekaerts said.
Vinay Deshpande, chairman and CEO of Encore Software, described Simputer, a project to provide computer access to the rural poor by providing them with Linux-based PDAs.
The Simputer was specifically designed for the areas where it is used, said Deshpande, who is also a trustee of the Simputer Trust.
Instead of rechargeable batteries, for example, Simputer uses AA batteries. Although electricity still isn't present in many parts of the world, AA batteries can typically be purchased in local stores almost anywhere.
The Simputer project also considered AAA batteries, he said. AA batteries, though, turned out to be more prevalent, as well as cheaper, than their AAA counterparts.

Rothman racked up 35 assists, nine digs, and three aces while freshman Lindsey Wang (Cupertino, Calif.) chipped in six digs.
On Saturday morning, the Engineers battled Western New England for a 22-25, 25-17, 25-16, 18-25, 15-6 victory. Leonard led the way with 13 kills, a .480 hitting performance, and seven digs as Berger compiled 13 kills and a .542 hitting percentage.

Spielbauer collected 17 digs and four aces while Wang generated 11 digs and four aces. Rothman finished the match with 45 assists and 14 digs.
The Cardinal and Gray blanked Rivier, 25-18, 25-21, 25-19, in the finale Saturday afternoon. Taylor posted 10 kills on 12 errorless hitting attempts for a .833 hitting performance while Bunker had eight kills, a .500 hitting percentage, four blocks, and two aces. The solid attacking efforts continued with Hunt (nine kills, .438 hitting percentage) and Berger (seven kills, .545 hitting percentage) as sophomore Jenny Astrachan (Austin, Texas) contributed five kills and two blocks to the front row. Spielbauer anchored the defense with 11 digs to go along with two aces while Wang tallied nine digs and two aces. Rothman dished out 37 assists as Hao added five digs.
Next up for MIT will be a trip to NEWMAC rival Babson College on Tuesday, Oct. 16.

The East Central University baseball team split the second and third games of a four-game series with Abilene Christian at Crutcher Scott Field
The Tigers (3-5) were led by senior Justin Sutherland, who tallied three hits, two runs and a .500 batting average for the day. Senior Spencer Penrod also hit .500 for the day with three hits. ECU finished the day with a 14 hits, three RBI's, four runs and a team batting average of .250.
Senior Andrew Olson picked up the win on the mound with five innings of work in game one. He allowed five hits and a walk, but also struck out three batters. Junior Robert Buitrago suffered the loss in game two, with five innings of work and one strike out. As a group, the Tiger pitching staff allowed zero earned runs on the day.
ECU will finish up the series with the Wildcats (4-3), Sunday, Feb. 10 with a 1 p.m. game at Crutcher Scott Field.
Game 1
ECU was the first to get on the score board, with a two-run second inning. Sutherland got the Tigers going with a two-out single down the left field line. Junior Chris Lane then reached on an error by the short stop and was followed on base by junior Michael Mariano, who single up the middle to load the bases. Junior Brede Kochi reached on a second error by short and the first run crossed the plate. The final run came with senior Justin Gibson earned a single to left field.
The Tiger made it 3-0 after the fifth inning. Junior Jake Caton reached on an error by the second baseman and was sent to third on a hit to right field by Woodard. Caton scored when senior Mac Grace sent a single to left field.
The ECU defense then stepped up and held the Wildcats scoreless for the next three innings for the 3-0 win.
Game 2
The Tigers again opened the scoring, with one run in the second inning. Sutherland earned a single and was on second after an error when Penrod sent a single to right field to advance Sutherland to third. Mariano then earned the RBI with a single to left field for the 1-0 lead.
That is how the scored stayed until the bottom of the fifth, when the Wildcats took the lead with two runs off a hit and an error.
ECU was not able to put together any more runs in the final two innings and fell 1-2.

Former NFL and Cal star Hardy Nickerson was announced Thursday as the new head football coach at Bishop O'Dowd High.
Nickerson, whose son Hardy Jr. is a sophomore who plays for the Dragons, was O'Dowd's linebackers coach last season and takes over for 25-year veteran Paul Perenon, whose contract was not renewed.
Nickerson spent 16 years in the NFL, most notably with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and spent time as a linebackers coach for the Chicago Bears. He also served stints as an assistant at Providence Day School and Charlotte Country Day School, both located in Charlotte, N.C.
"Any time I can teach football, that's my passion," Nickerson said. "I love teaching football. It's all about the kids. For the kids, it's about the opportunity to go beyond the x's and o's and teach some of the valuable lessons you learn in life."
Nickerson's immense football background was a big selling point for O'Dowd.
"We feel he brings an incredible leadership ability garnered from being a team captain at the highest level, as a coach and especially his work with disadvantaged youth through his charity organizations," Dragons athletic director Mike Bowler said in a release. "His ability to communicate with everyone will make him an incredible ambassador for Bishop O'Dowd. His passion for football will be contagious throughout our community and will make for a great experience for all."
Nickerson said it's his goal for O'Dowd to be in position to compete for a state championship. Despite being competitive every year, the Dragons haven't won a Hayward Area Athletic League title since 1999. They won a North Coast Section 2A East Bay crown in 2004.
"I think we have to go out and play football with a lot of effort and enthusiasm," Nickerson said. "You do that, and guys are enjoying playing football, and good things happen. That's the goal right off the bat, to create that type of excitement."
Nickerson said it's always been in his blood to be a coach.
"I've always had the coach's mentality," he said. "My wife and kids call me 'linebacker man' because I'm always pointing out something, always coaching.
"I've always felt like I've had a gift for teaching and helping kids. Not only helping kids but helping the guys I coached with the Bears. I always felt like I wanted to coach and felt like I'd be a coach at some point. I'm excited."

BABSON PARK, Fla. - The University of South Carolina Beaufort baseball team used an 11-run inning salvage the final game of a three-game series to open Sun Conference play Saturday at Webber International.
After dropping a 2-1 decision in a pitchers' duel Friday night, the Sand Sharks lost Saturday's opener 10-2 before rebounding for a 16-5 victory in the final game of the series.
USCB (3-4, 1-2 conference) took advantage of six Warriors errors and racked up a season-high 11 hits in the nightcap.
Senior Terry McClinton, sophomore Brandon Joyce and senior Mitchell Johnson each collected two hits and two RBIs. Sophomore Ashly Morris added a hit and three RBIs, and juniors Erik Armstrong and Blake Cilwick each drove in two runs.
Senior Andrew Barrineau (1-0) pitched three innings out of the bullpen for the win, allowing two runs on three hits in relief of sophomore Junior Delatorre.
The Sand Sharks travel to Voorhees College for a doubleheader at noon Tuesday, then return home to face Embry-Riddle in a three-game Sun Conference series over the weekend. The opener against the Eagles is set for 3 p.m. Friday, and the series concludes with a doubleheader starting at noon Saturday.

The two head coaches will hold a final joint press conference Friday morning at the Rose Theater in the Tim Warner Center on Columbus Circle and they will not face the media again until the winner is crowned late Sunday night.
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was asked on Thursday about the Seahawks Mantra. "Our mantra at the beginning of the year was, 'Leave no doubt: Seahawks 24/7.' It's kind of something that we came up with together. Every time we step onto the field, make sure that we leave no doubt, have no regrets, go after it. Prepare the right way. Prepare the right way in the weight room, prepare the right way in the classroom, prepare the right way on and off the field. The whole Seahawks 24/7 thing, kind of the whole idea of we're representing the organization, we're trying to do everything we can to do the best we can to win a lot of football games and help this city do something it's never done before. We're excited about this. We're here. It's time to take advantage of it and time to go after it."
His star running back, Marshawn Lych, who has been a man of few words during all the media hype during the week was asked when he knew Wilson would be good. "I don't know. You just hope for the best for him. It was probably during the preseason when he started showing flashes of it, and then his work ethic just took over. That was probably something that he knew a long time ago, but for me, just watching him progress, knowing he can still get better."
Cornerback Richard Sherman, who garnered more than his normal amount of attention due to his comments after the 'Hawks won the NFC Championship Game, and who will be a major thorn in Denver's side during the game, was asked why he embraces the media so easily, unlike his teammate Lynch.
"I don't know. I guess I'm comfortable with my words. I'm comfortable in front of a crowd – public speaking. Obviously, not everybody in the world is comfortable. Sometimes people get anxiety. Some people are uncomfortable with it, and I really don't think everybody should be forced to do it because it's not for everyone. Just because you're a great football player doesn't mean you're going to be great in front of crowds and great in front of a large amount of people, a large audience. So I think he (Marshawn Lynch) shouldn't have to do everything that he doesn't feel comfortable with. But myself, I'm fine with it. I enjoy it. I enjoy getting the message out that I want to get out, and I enjoy supporting my teammates. The great Marshawn Lynch, I think his game speaks for itself. It says enough for everybody to talk about for weeks and weeks. And I enjoy talking about Doug Baldwin, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, so I think it's fun for me."
Denver quarterback Peyton Manning has played in two previous Super Bowls. He won his first appearance as an Indianapolis Colt when his team defeated the Chicago Bears. He then lost his second appearance, also as a Colt, when his team lost to Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints. He was asked how confident Denver was coming into Sunday's game.
"There is no question these past two games have been team wins. There hasn't been just an offensive win or defensive win. The offense, the defense and even the special teams have played well together at the same time these past two postseason games. That is certainly what we like to occur on Sunday. The only way to win a world championship is if all three phases are playing at a high level. That is going to give us the best chance in order to win the game on Sunday. To beat a team like Seattle, all three phases have to be doing their part. So, that is what we are working on. It's nice that it has occurred these past two weeks at the right time. For a while there, we were kind of alternating. Offense might have a day, defense might be a little better the next day. You want them playing well together at the same time. That's our goal for Sunday."
One of Manning's key offensive teammates will be wide receiver Wes Welker, who has experienced both the high of winning a Super Bowl, as well as the low of losing a Super Bowl. He was asked what challenges the Seattle defense brought into the game.
"They do a lot of different things, but they do what they do. They pretty much just line up, and say, 'Hey we are better than you, and we're going to beat you.' They do a great job (in different) situations, and getting pressure on the quarterback. Their defensive backs are instinctive and can make plays. We will definitely have our hands full on Sunday."
Another key component of the Broncos making to the Super Bowl this year has been the coaching of former Jacksonville Jaguars coach and current Denver Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio. He filled in when Head Coach John Fox missed time during the regular season due to necessary heart surgery and kept the team together and playing well during a tough emotional time. He was asked on Thursday how his team's practice went during the week.
"Good, and it started last week. One thing we've had all year, we've had a very committed group. We've really been on a mission since we got that stinging loss at home last year in the playoff game. We've been on a mission. Very resolute, our guys. There have been a lot of well-documented things that have occurred in the last 12 months and we've just kind of kept grinding. Never stopped believing that we have the ability to be here if we worked hard, worked together and committed and that's what these guys have done."
At this point, both teams have 100% confidence they are ready to play the game, and both are certain they will come out on top. Now we just have until Sunday and see which team was right about their feeling!

Who is behind Cerveza Xteca?
With a single beer, lowrider brewers tap a coveted market
Ian Anderson 3 p.m., March 21
Alpine Beer Co. (2351 Alpine Boulevard, Alpine) benefits from a rabid cult following. On the surface, this is the perfect situation, but for many years this small brewery has been unable to produce anywhere near enough beer to appease its fans. It's something that has pained owner Pat McIlhenney, driving him to work up a number of solutions that includes a brewery expansion in Alpine in addition to working with out-of-state company Cold Spring Brewing to brew more beer. Like most large-scale projects, these are taking a great deal of time to realize, meaning little progress—and not a drop more beer—has been made thus far.
Mike Hinkley, the owner of Green Flash Brewing Company (6550 Mira Mesa Boulevard, Mira Mesa) remembers a few years back when he was looking to expand his business from its much smaller initial home in Vista and sees parallels between he, McIlhenney, and their companies. He also sees the ability to help a friend in need. Thus, he and brewmaster Chuck Silva recently reached out to McIlhenney, offering him the opportunity to have Alpine beer brewed and fermented at Green Flash's facility. Moved by this gracious offer, McIlhenney accepted. As a result, Green Flash will soon begin producing 50-barrel batches of Alpine's Duet, Nelson, and Hoppy Birthday for keg distribution.
This is not some typical "contract brewing" arrangement in which Alpine would pay Green Flash to produce their beers for them. While Silva and his staff will do the actual brewing, they will only charge Alpine for the overhead costs of producing, fermenting and kegging the beer. The ingredients will be provided by McIlhenney, who will be drawing off the increased stock of hops he secured for the Cold Spring venture for this endeavor. And when the beer is ready, Green Flash will put it in kegs and move it to their loading dock for Alpine's distributors to pick up to take to market. It's an atypical situation that communicates San Diego's solid brand of craft brewing camaraderie better than words ever could.
In addition to their professional collegiality, Silva and McIlhenney maintain a long-standing friendship. Truth be told, McIlhenney feels a bit uncomfortable about not paying a mark-up to Green Flash, but Hinkley is not interested. Both the owner and his brewmaster say they are just happy that they'll be able to drink more Alpine beer, and that they look forward to learning from Pat and his son, head brewer Shawn McIlhenney, along the way.
The exact timeframe for production of Alpine's beers has yet to be solidified, but the companies are aiming for September as the earliest possible start time. At that point, Green Flash will begin producing one 250-barrel tank's worth of beer (typical yield is 200 barrels, which equates to 400 kegs) per month of the aforementioned beers. Six fermentation tanks will be utilized for this project. The tanks will someday be used to store Green Flash beer, but at the moment, the company has no immediate need for the receptacles.
Both companies excel at producing West Coast-style hoppy beers and their brewing methods are quite similar. Still, one brewery producing another's beers to the degree that they are indiscernible from those produced at their home site is no easy feat, nor one Silva or McIlhenney are taking lightly. According to Silva, Green Flash will conduct critical analysis of the beers produced at each facility to make sure color, bitterness, and alcohol-by-volume are spot-on. They will also conduct complex water analysis to make sure they get off to a proper start with each brewing session, and enlist the quality assurance expertise of local yeast production facility White Labs.
Scaling recipes from Alpine's smaller scale will also present challenges, but Silva has experience in that arena. When Green Flash moved from its Vista brewhouse to its current much larger digs in Mira Mesa, Silva went from working on a 25-barrel brewhouse to a 50-barrel rig.
Currently, Alpine produces 1,500 barrels of beer annually. This arrangement, which is scheduled to last about a year at present, plus their existing agreement with Cold Spring (which, when finalized, will exclusively cover canned beer production—16-ounce Alumitek cans to be exact), will allow the company to jump to 5,000 barrels annually; an increase of over 200%. It's a beyond significant increase made possible by a beyond generous gesture from one San Diego brewing company to another.

Just an observation but with justification. Several pundits have already stated that the Willson TE pick was horrible at the 5th round and should have probably not been on any teams draft board. From the sounds of what limited related press there is, he shouldn't have even been given a shot as an undrafted free agent.
So considering that many of those same pundits have wrongly been so initially critical of the recent Seahawks drafts, that leads me to believe that once again, the braintrust in the Seahawks draft war room have found that hidden gem that will light up the NFL this season.
The way that everyone has discounted and ignored him I would be surprise if any teams out there will even commit any resources to cover this kid...
It just makes too much sense to be wrong.

Carly Rae Jepsen Dishes on 'Friendly' Justin Bieber Collaboration
Carly Rae Jepsen and Justin Bieber team up on the duet 'Beautiful' on Jepsen's latest album, 'Kiss,' which hits stores tomorrow (Sept. 18.) What does 'Beautiful' sound like? Jepsen herself describes the tune as, "charming, friendly and hopefully feel-good."
Jepsen tells MTV Europe, "It's kind of like a friendship ballad, it's kind of charming and it's sweet and a little bit of a different flavor to what I have on my album too... I think it's like a feel-good song for sure."
'Beautiful' has a light, acoustic style reminiscent of Colbie Caillat, with lyrics that sound like they're directed to a sweetie rather than just a friend. Jepsen sings, "The more that I look around, the more I realize you're all I'm looking for," while Bieber croons, "Nothing in the world compares to the feelings that we share."
Jepsen added that the duet was an unplanned accident after she flew to L.A. to meet Bieber for the first time. "He was just a regular guy, so nice, so talented but at the same time really humble about it and played me some songs from his record 'Believe.' One of the tunes was the song 'Beautiful' and he'd written it with a good friend and producer that we both know, named Tony Gad."
She added, "I remember just thinking 'Wow, this is such a different flavor than I'd ever think of doing. It's really cool,' and he asked me if I'd like to sing on it. Of course, I was very excited to do that, and we did it that night. I was going to go to bed but they were like, 'Why don't you just jump into the studio tonight and finish the song right now?' So, 15 minutes later I was in the vocal booth."
The 26-year-old Canadian thanked Bieber for being in her corner. "Since I was seven years old, this is all I've been wanting to do, and having him kind of be my supporter and really my introduction to everything; it's the greatest gift. I'm forever thankful to him for that."

High school plays, I remember them well.
Some of my most memorable moments from the old halls of Trimble revolve around the dramas presented by the junior and senior classes from days of yore.
There were a number of great productions directed by the husband and wife team James and Martha Quisenberry in the mid-1960s in old McCain Auditorium. After the Quisenberry's left Trimble after the 1965-66 school year, Carl Rucker and Nina Coffin stepped in to direct several productions through the end of my high school days.

Upon Further Review, There Will Be Balloons
Randy York's N-Sider Blog
The Official Blog of the Huskers
Call it an audible and know this: Upon further review, Big Red balloons will continue to be an important part of Nebraska's Game Day tradition Saturday against Arkansas State and every home game the rest of this season and, hopefully, for every other season for generations to come.
"We took another look at the helium inventory issue and how filling our game day balloons might affect hospital levels of liquid helium, and we found that the risk really was not there like we first understood," said Michael Stephens, Nebraska's associate athletic director for Marketing, Licensing and Concessions. "With that understanding and knowing that the helium shortage is being addressed by both the private sector and the federal government, we will continue celebrating the first score of every home game with the release of 2,000 red balloons - about half of what we've been producing normally."
When helium inventory levels rise, Nebraska will consider returning to the release of 4,000 to 5,000 red balloons after the first score. "Whenever the supply gets back to a normal level, we'll make a decision," Stephens said. "In the meantime, we'll continue to monitor the situation and go with 2,000 balloons every game. This time-honored tradition is an important part of Nebraska Game Day, so we did more research, took another look at the problem and found that we could continue doing it on a smaller scale."
Obviously, balloons are something Husker fans wanted to hold onto, pun intended. Now that Big Red-inflated helium will be back in Nebraska fans' hands again, please make sure to wait until the first score before releasing. Since this tradition started in the late 1950s, who knows what might happen when we reach a 100-year celebration? Maybe, just maybe, Nebraska will find enough helium to launch 100,000 balloons at once, and who wouldn't want to see something like that?

Microsoft's Dell Play: Smart Save or Nokia 2.0?
Feb 14, 2013 5:00 AM PT
It's no secret that partnerships involving Microsoft tend to make Linux bloggers nervous, and given the lessons of history, it's not exactly any wonder, either.
So FOSS fans will have to be excused for the anxiety with which they've watched Microsoft's deal with Dell.
"Michael Dell has teamed up with investment firm Silver Lake to buy computer maker Dell, the company he founded as a 19-year-old in 1984, in a deal valued at about US$24.4 billion," began a NetworkWorld report last week.
Sounds innocent enough, right? As one might expect, however, it wasn't long at all before the plot thickened considerably.
'The Growing Influence of Linux'
First was the tidbit that Microsoft was involved in the deal with a $2 billion loan.
Then came the interpretation.
"Microsoft's US$2 billion loan to Dell is a sign that the software maker wants to influence hardware designs in a post-PC world while protecting itself from the growing influence of Linux-based operating systems in mobile devices and servers, according to analysts," a follow-up article reported.
Did the Slashdot masses have any thoughts to share on the matter? You bet they did, and it came faster than the proverbial rabbit on rollerskates.
'A Shotgun Approach'
"Microsoft's battle is not with Linux," began Slashdot blogger Taco Cowboy, for example. "Rather, Microsoft's future battle is with the smartphones and the tablets and all other new wearable form factors of computing.
"Ballmer is waging a shotgun approach of computing war -- trying anything and everything -- because the guy has no idea what to do now," Taco Cowboy added.
Then again, "You can't be in the server business and not support Linux," suggested Anonymous Coward. "You can't be in mobile and not support Linux, unless you're Apple. Pee Cee's? I'm not sure they matter to the fate of Linux any longer.
"But feel free to squander that bit of your Linux customer base, if you wish," Anonymous Coward added. "This is just some tech writer generating page views."
Down at the blogosphere's Broken Windows Lounge, Linux Girl got an earful.
'It Is Totally Expected'
"Dell has not been a good friend for Free Open Source Operating Systems," offered Google+ blogger Gonzalo Velasco C. "Traditionally they sell only a few models, and not top ones, with one Linux distribution (Ubuntu), and for a price almost equal to the Windows version, that is supposed to have the cost of the license included.
"Their site shows in more than one place: 'Dell recommends MS Windows...,'" he pointed out.
"Now the company was bought by the founder (nothing against) with a good 2 billion loan from whom? Microsoft," Gonzalo Velasco C. added. "If this is not going to lead Dell into a less Linux-friendly policy, what should it be, then!?"
The underlying reality is that "MS is [losing] market steadily in the last years, both for Linux OS on PCs and Macintosh machines with their Mac OS X, even before the Windows 8 fiasco," he concluded. "So, it is totally expected to see some fight from them, securing the market and the monopoly they have been building."
'Microsoft Is Right to Be Afraid'
Indeed, "when I first heard that Dell was going to go private, I had hopes that this might be an effort to get away from Microsoft's control, but those hopes were dashed pretty quickly when I saw that Microsoft itself was investing 2 billion in the venture," Linux Rants blogger Mike Stone agreed.
Now it looks like Microsoft is being even less subtle about its OEM manipulation," Stone added. "It's looking like Windows 8 is such a stinker that Microsoft is having to go to extreme measures to keep their OEMs from venturing outside the fold."
Actions speak louder than words, as the old saying goes, and "Microsoft continues to talk a big game as if Windows 8 is a great success, but their actions say that they're very afraid or losing their market dominance," he concluded. "Even a stopped clock is right twice a day; Microsoft is right to be afraid."
'That Might Be a Bigger Lure'
Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien hopes that Microsoft's motivation is "to try and slow down Linux -- what better proof do we need that Linux is winning?" he asked Linux Girl.
Still, "I am not 100 percent certain that is the major motivation here," O'Brien admitted. "Microsoft is probably looking at Apple as well, and Apple controls the entire platform, software and hardware, and has done very well.
"Microsoft has moved into hardware in the tablet market, and is currently blaming OEMs for the relative failure of Windows 8," he pointed out. "That might be a bigger lure for them than Linux."
'The Tablet, Not Linux'
Similarly, "the Linux community somehow still sees itself as the greatest threat to Microsoft, but that is really far from the truth," Robin Lim, a lawyer and blogger on Mobile Raptor, told Linux Girl.
"Why worry about Linux as a potential threat, when Microsoft has already lost serious ground to other operating systems?" Lim added. "One in three personal computers shipped in 2012 was a tablet; one in five personal computers shipped in 2012 was an Apple machine; one in seven personal computers shipped was an Android Tablet or a Google Chromebook.
"Over the past three years, Microsoft's 90 percent hold on the 'Personal Computer' market is effectively down to less than 60 percent," he noted. "The biggest threat to Microsoft domination of the desktop in almost two decades is the tablet, not Linux."
That, of course, doesn't even include "the most common 'personal computer' in the world: the smartphone," Lim added.
'Very Little to Do With Linux'
In short, "the investment in Dell is probably like the investment in Nokia," Lim suggested. "Microsoft needs to hold ground, and feels that it needs some key hardware partners to do this.
"The last thing Microsoft wants Dell to do is to revive their Android based program and come out with its own Chromebook," he concluded. "But the investment in Dell is really more about pushing Windows 8, Windows RT and Windows Phone 8 products for the new generation of mobile personal computers. It has very little to do with the Linux powered Dell XPS 13."
In fact, perhaps for that very reason, "there are many doubts over the move raised by shareholders who don't want Dell to become Nokia 2.0," Google+ blogger Alessandro Ebersol pointed out.
'Its Willing Slave'
Consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack, however, took a positive view of the move.
"In the end, I think this is a good thing," Mack told Linux Girl. "Dell no longer has pressure from investors to maximize profit at all costs, so we should see more long term planning where short term profits get sacrificed for the long term good of the company (which is the complete opposite of what shareholders usually want)."
Similarly, "the deal looks like Michael Dell buying the company when the stock dipped and M$ making an investment which will in the end allow Dell to innovate and even to profit from GNU/Linux," opined blogger Robert Pogson. "That is a lot more palatable for M$ than admitting to the world that GNU/Linux works.
"They can let Dell be its willing slave to develop GNU/Linux hardware and software and to take all the risks," Pogson explained.
"I don't think M$ can buy exclusivity for such a small investment," he mused. Rather, "it just buys another diversified revenue stream -- just what old money needs. If M$ cannot compete, it can still invest and live off its income for decades to come."
'Honestly, Who Cares?'
In any case, "if Microsoft ever tried to coerce Dell via the loan terms to drop Linux support, I think Dell could get a lot more than $2 Billion in court," Chris Travers, a blogger who works on the LedgerSMB project, pointed out.
Last but not least, Slashdot blogger hairyfeet wasn't sure the question even matters.
"Honestly, who cares?" hairyfeet said. "It's two badly managed companies getting together so they can be badly managed as a pair."
Microsoft "refuses to listen to its customers, who have made it quite clear that if they wanted an Apple tablet they'd have bought an Apple tablet, and no matter how many times Ballmer clicks those ruby slippers together and says, 'there is no place like Cupertino, there is no place like Cupertino!' making a lame copy of Apple just isn't gonna fly," he explained.
'The Magic Word Is Fail'
Windows has "a completely different demographic than those that buy the latest iStuff," hairyfeet pointed out. "And as for Dell, they've been wedded at the hip to Intel and MSFT almost since the day the company began; all this will do is kill their Ubuntu offerings, which frankly weren't that great to begin with and didn't sell well."
Meanwhile, "everybody from Asus to Toshiba will be sitting down to talk to Google about ChromeOS and Android," hairyfeet predicted, "because instead of accepting that Windows users DO NOT WANT their PC to behave like a cellphone and giving the OEMs more Win 7 licenses to sell, they are playing the blame game and demanding the OEMs spend an insane amount of money making tablets more expensive than Apple's because Windows is not a 'premiere brand,' to hear Ballmer tell it.
"Yeah, tell that to the OEMs with warehouses full of unsold Ultrabooks," he added.
"So, at the end of the day, Dell going private changes nothing," hairyfeet concluded. "They'll continue pushing whatever MSFT tells them to, will continue bombing, and until Steve 'Forbes worst CEO' Ballmer gets punt kicked like a 30-yard field return, the magic word at MSFT is gonna be 'fail.'"

Dr. Pete Linnerooth touched many people's lives.
He did his best, each and every day, to care for those who needed his help.
He did it at what ultimately became a terrible personal cost to him and his family.
He shares something in common with many other Soldiers who did their best each day during tremendously challenging times. Each only wanted to take care of the Soldier on their left and right, performing their duty to the best of their ability, fighting back fear of failure, injury, or death, all the while wishing they were home but never leaving their post.
I don't want that to sound trite.
I had the privilege of serving alongside the outstanding Soldiers and Family Members in my battalion as part of the Dagger Brigade. I will always be in awe of those men and women. My service with them forever changed me.
As one of their leaders, and, as an American, we will never be able to compensate them or say thank you enough for what they did and still do each day.
Pete is just another example of how special these young people are that volunteer to serve their nation.
The last decade plus of war has taught many valuable lessons. Unfortunately some lessons were only known after the fact.
Pete is an extreme example of "provider burnout," and I think we have to be concerned and watch out for all providers – doctors, chaplains, and anyone else who provides care.
We have to be vigilant to signs that they have taken on too much of everyone else's burdens, and need help themselves.
That was one of my key lessons from that experience.
Unfortunately, I didn't learn it soon enough to take care of Pete. I'm sure Pete is now helping folks in a better place, and I hope he finds personal peace there.
Army Colonel Keith Sledd is a former brigade commander, currently serving in Afghanistan. He was Dr. Linnerooth's battalion commander in the Dagger Brigade, 2BCT/1st ID, in Iraq in 2006-2007. The views expressed here are his own.

Sometime over the next two days, Pope Benedict will receive a dossier with the proposed program for his visit to the United Nations and the United States next April.
Much has been circulated about the papal visit in recent weeks, including detailed plans about liturgies in New York and Washington, encounters with New York seminarians and U.S. bishops, and of course the pope's expected address to the U.N. General Assembly. But all those plans are tentative at this point — and it bothers the Vatican that they've prematurely made their way into blogs and news reports.
The pope's advance team was on the East Coast last week putting together a definitive program for a trip that focuses on two stops, Washington and New York. But even this "final" program is not final, because the pope hasn't sat down and reviewed it yet. The ultimate decisions are indeed up to him, and it's quite possible that the pope could change things, either tweaking the schedule or deciding to add a city.
Typically, papal trip planning goes through several drafts. The host country usually announces the main events a few months ahead of time, and the Vatican doesn't release the pope's official schedule until about six weeks before the trip. But in this case, media interest and logistical demands may move all that up. With no other papal travel on the horizon, excitement is already building for B16's first UN/US encounter — even if it's nearly six months away.

The Family
35395, Children's Songbook, The Family, 194
When the fam'ly gets together, after evening work is done,
Then we learn to know each other, popping corn and having fun.
Then our father tells a story, mother leads us in a song,
And it seems that nothing in this world could possibly go wrong.

It seems that we purchased a house today. Unfortunately I've changed my mind. I would like to stay in Brooklyn, please. Do you think the buyer of our apartment will let us stay? Maybe we can talk her into taking the New Jersey place.
My last-minute panic is based on nothing reasonable, except that where we live is cool, and where we will live, while probably cool in infinite ways, is not as cool. Period. We will never be this cool again. And we weren't all that cool to begin with. You may think, reading this, that I have long placed my coolness in high esteem, but in fact I have never bothered much with the coolness. I didn't have to, because I live here. Not that I even got much pleasure out of the cool things here. I can't afford them, and even if I could, I'm too old. And I spend my time with a preschooler whose idea of fun is playing air accordion while blasting Led Zeppelin. Actually I don't disagree with him. Even if I had never had a child I would probably be doing that. In my underwear, probably. And not the hot kind of underwear, oh no. I'm talking Jockey For Her Hipsters with sagging elastic because I still own panties that my mother purchased for me in 1985.
Oh my god, what am I talking about? Do you see what this has done to me? I am weak with panic. What the hell was I thinking? I'm going to have to drive places. And my god, I've just made my holiday shopping a million times more complicated. In Brooklyn we are steps away from so many damn clever shops that are so crammed with hip whimsy that it can give you a migraine if you take it all in at once. In New Jersey we will be steps away from a KFC, a Dunkin' Donuts, and a CVS. And I don't think my mom wants a six pack of Crispy Nuggets for her birthday. I could be wrong about this.
But a person cannot live in a neighborhood just because of the cute shops, right? Right? They can't, right? Oh god, what have I done?
It's not just the coolness and the cute shops and the friends who will never move to Jersey and I see them every week and what was I THINKING. Crap, it's everything. I can't believe we can't afford to live here anymore. I've lived here for fifteen years. Almost every day, I walk out of our house and I run into someone I know and love. Or someone I know and don't like very much. Either way. I can't believe I'm moving to the suburbs. I think I might throw up. I know I need to get over myself. I do. And I'm sure I will. Maybe in a year or two.

Former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger got away with a criminal cover-up today when he pled guilty to a misdemeanor in connection with his theft of sensitive documents from the National Archives.
It is undisputed that Berger illegally stuffed original documents relating to America's response to the threat of Islamic terrorism into his coat, pants and briefcase. Berger then destroyed a number of these top-secret documents, so that they will never see the light of day. The idea that this was "an honest mistake," as Berger now claims, is ridiculous. Obviously, he was trying to destroy documents that showed the negligence of the Clinton administration–of which he was a key member–in dealing with the threat of terrorism. Key documents relating to our government's inadequate reaction to the threat of Islamic terrorism prior to Sept. 11 are now gone forever, successfully purged from the historical record by one of Bill Clinton's most loyal servants. This plea bargain appears, on its face, to be a disgrace. If anyone can think of a reason why this is not correct, please let us know.

Lunardi previews M's NCAA tourney chances
It seems Joey Whack Brackets doesn't think too highly of Michigan:
It seems Joey Whack Brackets doesn't think too highly of Michigan:
March 15th, 2011 at 12:31 AM ^
Ouch man! Well Let's "shock the world!"
1. Michigan is playing in the NCAA tournament with a middle-of-the-road seeding
2. We start an unusual number of freshmen, and we are one of the youngest teams in the country
3. No one, at the start of the season, gave us any kind of shot to make the NCAA, much less make any noise at the Dance
4. [Assuming we beat Tennessee] We play Duke.
That's right. Let's shock the world! Only this time let's put a whupping on Duke!
(Okay, we're not exactly the Fab Five, but you have to admit there are some strange parallels)
March 15th, 2011 at 12:33 AM ^
And this is different from what we've been hearing about this team this entire seson how?
We are peaking now, with are best basketball happening over the past 10 games. Tennessee peaked in November. I think we have as good a shot as anyone.
March 15th, 2011 at 12:34 AM ^
Well Lunardi didn't think we were a bubble team until we lost to Wisconsin...also how did that whole predicting UM as one of the last 4 byes go? Why would I care what this guy thinks?
March 15th, 2011 at 12:34 AM ^
F Lunardi. Let's shut him up on Friday boys.
Agreed, screw Lunardi, a double digit loss - oh hell no he didn't. I just don't see how were in big trouble against the Vols, they weren't that good in a crappy SEC. They did beat a few good teams, but also lost to some not so good teams. I think we'll be alright.
March 15th, 2011 at 12:39 AM ^
a double digit loss, and to go as far as to say that Tenn. and Duke are happy that they might play us. I consider that taking a shot at us. I also think other people are overblowing the 8 seed being way too high for us. Honestly look at our record against the teams in the tourney below us. We were 7-1 against MSU, PSU, Ill., Clemson, and Oakland with four of those games being a neutral or away game. We deserved to be ranked above of those teams.
On a side note, it kinda makes me happy that Lunardi shit the bed in predicting the bracket this year. Makes him lose a lot of credibility moving foward.
[blockquote]On a side note, it kinda makes me happy that Lunardi shit the bed in predicting the bracket this year. [/blockquote]
To be fair, the committee did such a crappy job, nobody's bracket predictions were all that great. Not defending Lunardi, more putting down the osu-ad led selection committee.
March 15th, 2011 at 12:47 PM ^
Still trying to figure out the terrible injustices from the bracket. When did beating K-State 3 times and doing nothing else in a shitty conference after playing literally nobody before conference play make you one of the best teams in the country? The difference between Alabama, Colorado, St. Mary's, VCU, UAB, and USC is tiny. Everyone here understands an argument that Michigan should be the #8 seed. And the dastardly OSU AD a) doesn't consult when B1G teams are discussed and b) had to get 11 Big East teams in.
Particularly since all the teams left out this year would have been left out last year and then some (as the tournament expanded by 3 teams), I'm astonished at all the whining. What's funny is that VCU, UAB, and USC would have missed the tournament last year, and Colorado (and the rest) would have no argument they were better than, say, MSU or (IMO) Clemson and the rest. Totally meaningless nonsense, and not some mythical "terrible" bracket.
March 15th, 2011 at 12:36 AM ^
does anyone believe that this guy even watches any basketball? looking at him and listening to him, i get the feeling he just looks at box scores, formula rankings, wins and losses.
i've never really ever heard of him talking about players, coaches, team strengths and weakness, etc; only RPI, wins against good teams, etc. i really have my doubts on whether or not he actually knows much about basketball.
I mean we are a weak 8. But, am I the only one who is happy to play Tennessee? I think they suck.
When watching the selection show, I cheered when Tennessee came up next to our name and yelled "Awesome! They suck right now." So you are not alone.
If we get to Duke we will have the home court advantage! All the UNC fans will be there and cheering hard for Duke to get upset.
...Nah! I don't think so. I think Duke is gonna have home court bud. More Duke fans are gonna show up than UNC fans...
March 15th, 2011 at 10:38 AM ^
Please explain your logic. Here is mine. You do realize both games will be on the same ticket right? Duke enrollment is around 6500. UNC is over 20000. Its a numbers game and there is 4 times the students/ 4 times the alumni at UNC compared to Duke. I have been to a lot of Final Fours and at that stage of the tournament there has been far greater following by UNC then Duke. I would assume it will be similar early in the tournament as well.
March 15th, 2011 at 10:46 AM ^
Though UNC fans are most docile group that I've ever seen in college basketball.
Went to a game in the Dean Dome earlier this year, which came down to a last-second shot, and couldn't believe the lack of noise, espcially compared to their counterparts in Durham. It was like watching a basketball game with an opera crowd.
Dear John Beilein,
Please show this video to the boys in the next couple days. I think it may provide some motivation.
The Michigan Fanbase
Just b/c he and all the other nerd bracketologists out there had Michigan seeded much lower, they think M isn't that good.
Well, all the statistical indicators (kenpom chief among them) and past performance suggest otherwise.
The Vols haven't won back-to-back games since Feb. 3 and, outside of winning at Vandy Feb. 22nd, haven't beaten a top 100 rpi team since Jan. 18th.
People like to point to Tenn's quality wins, but they were a looong time ago. Sure, they beat Pitt, but that was on Dec. 11th.
I would have gone with "Lunardi can suck it"... but I suppose it is more compelling when you add facts and figures.
Lunardi can suck it. He needs a new haipiece that doesn't look like the shaved hair off my cat's ass. I was also pleased with the UT draw. Should be fun watching another win on Friday. Go Blue!
Tennessee is a team that lost to Oakland at home during the stretch of their season when they were arguably playing their best basketball. They stumbled down the final dozen or so games of their season. Michigan is clearly peaking now. Although the Vols are an athletic team, I really like our chances. Beating Duke will be another story...
March 15th, 2011 at 11:58 AM ^
..Tennessee went 7-4 in their last 11 games and lost to Oakland early on just after they beat Villanova and Pitt. UM beat Oakland by 18 points the very next game after Oakland took down Tennessee. Why should UM fear Tennesee?
We should too. Morgan needs to take it to the beat-up Williams down low.
Top assist man on the Vols averages 2.9. This means all their scoring comes from Hopson one on one's and their length inside. Harris isn't that big, so this should be a welcome sight after facing the Illini front line and Sully last game. I expect to see a lot more zone than we have seeing as how this isn't an assist oriented team, and only Hopson has a respectable 3pt %. The vols are a young team also. With young teams, coaching is a huge factor. Advantage MICH. Beilein will have those kids running around screens trying to get out on threes. If we can knock em down, we can break their backs in the second half with pick n rolls and good ol' smash mouth, big ten defense.
My homer bracket has MICH beating Tenn, Duke, AND Arizona, before falling to one of the 4 big east teams I have in the final four. Probably a more likely scenario for next years team, but March is all about this madness
March 15th, 2011 at 11:59 AM ^
The Vols are not a young team. They have 6 guys that get the majority of their points and minutes, and of those six, three are seniors and two are juniors. In addition, they have two more guys who get significant minutes off the bench, Pearl and Fields, who are also seniors.
Yes, Tobias Harris is a freshman and they have a few other freshmen and sophomores who come off the bench. But they get 78.7% of their minutes from juniors and seniors, and outside of Harris, almost all of their statistical production.
Yeah okay Double-Chin! You sure sound like you've followed Michigan very closely! Has this guy even watched a Michigan game this year?
March 15th, 2011 at 10:03 AM ^
Well based on his great predictions for his "bracketology", I feel pretty good about this assclown's prediction.
Most of these mouthbreathers had M losing to Clemson two years ago.
March 15th, 2011 at 10:09 AM ^
So at no point during that spiel did Lunardi provide on iota of evidence backing up his opinion that UM is in "big trouble" against the Volunteers and will probably lose "by double digits." Yeah, great research there. Good thing these games are played on the court.
March 15th, 2011 at 10:32 AM ^
You know, the natural inclination is for everyone to say we are mismatched against any opponent. We played against Minnesota and Illinois, of course they have too much size, we won't be able to get shots off, we'll lose. Oh wait, we didn't. Beilein is comfortable playing mismatches on the court and just has faith in his guys and his coaching enough to overcome those mismatches. Against Illinois, the fact that Mike davis had to cover Novak got him so many more open looks than he had been getting in "normal" matchups the previous several games.
So, when I look at Tennessee, even though I don't like their height and length, the fact is we have performed far more consistently and far closer to potential than they have. I think that counts for something, and I think we'll be ready to go on Friday.
March 15th, 2011 at 11:14 AM ^
The guy is a bracket analyst. He studies resumes, and rpi.......so what all of a sudden makes him an expert at picking games???? Let's ask Karl Ravech instead who will win the NCAA tourney, and maybe have him do a break down analysis too, or better yet let me up there and i'll ramble on about what i think.
Comcast has an echo again......maybe I should bitch about my bill more often.

Streamlining Linerless Labeling Technology
The most fascinating breakthrough this decade
from the labeling industry…
The Silgon™ Linerless Technology (patent pending)
You are now able to take non-tacky label stock and activate it to generate everlasting pressure sensitive adhesive properties. This enables you to conserve the environment, streamlining your labeling process and becoming more cost efficient.
If you wish to set up a demonstration within our labeling technology center, please let us know.
The following is a short summary of how this unique material can help you save a tree…Or possibly a whole forest.
Polykote Corp. has long been delivering answers to the Tape and Label Industry for upwards of 20 years. With our full staff of Engineers and Technicians we have developed this Labeling Breakthrough.
We were challenged to produce a label material that would be non-tacky and dry to the touch, but would display Pressure-Sensitive properties on demand. This is exactly what we have done!
You can now have what looks to be a non-adhesive piece of paper or film and activate just before application to generate an everlasting Pressure-Sensitive Label.
Now imagine the benefit of creating the Pressure-Sensitive adhesive characteristics just before a label needs to be applied, with this ability you can eliminate the need for a release liner. Typically the liner's job is to "protect" the sticky adhesive throughout the printing, die-cutting and pre-application steps. Once the Label is applied, the liner is disposed and often becomes Landfill.
Now imagine what you can save if you didn't need the release liner…What you can save is:
1. The cost of the liner, which is often more expensive than the Label face material alone.
2. The cost to dispose of the liner.
3. The cost to ship the extra weight of the liner from the coating process, all the way through to the printing/converting process, to the application process and then to the disposal site.
4. You can save a Tree!
We acknowledge that this method is not probable in every single labeling application. However numerous high volume, repetitive action labeling systems, including bottle labeling, box labeling and package operations can easily retro-fit to use this Green and cost saving idea. Both roll fed and sheet fed dispensing systems can be used. It is simplest if the system incorporates a vacuum plate or belt for application.
We have partnered with several Label Dispensing & Applying groups who can design and build a line for your needs, or we can work with your equipment team if you prefer.
This one-of-a-kind material is inactive, dry and non-tacky until you activate it by briefly subjecting it to an energy source.
We now have tested several energy sources including:
1. High-Energy Light
2. Radiant Heat
3. Hot Air
As soon as activated the adhesive functions like any common PSA. The activation process is time/temperature dependent, it commences at 150 F, the more energy you introduce the quicker it forever becomes a pressure sensitive label. We can easily work with you to design the best product for your needs.

My DearI am Mr Abubaka ahmed,the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department
Bank Of Africa. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of US$14.5M (fourteenmillion five hundred thousand US dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his family in the 2002 in a plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guide lines and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make thisbusiness proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after four years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkina cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agree that 45% of this money will be for you as respect to the provision of a foreign account , 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 50% be for me.
Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to thepercentage indicated. Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be transfer.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail,Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully, I am Mr Abubaka ahmed _________________________________________________________________Don't just search. Find. Check out the new MSN Search! http://search.msn.com/
