Lil' Gotti Gambino - Die Rich lyrics
[Mr. Serv-On]
Time to release this terror on you
Best believe in these letters across my stomach
I'm gonna blast on you, piss on you
Fuck what these coward bitches told me
Live a quiet life, take a wife
Fuck that I'm slanging this shit day and night
Gimme a bitch, 36 ounces to a crooked scale
A thousand pounds to a bail, nigga thats mail
If I fail to die with money in my pocket
Nigga blast from my side if I ride
I'm high-siding on you motherfuckers
Lot of you bitches made to suffer
For that cheese, so drop to your knees, and say please
To these young niggas, cap pillas, and they be candy dealers
Ready to pistol whip and to die rich shit a jail trip
I'll frusterate your bitch
A nigga wanna be laying in them guts, nigga you know whats up
I'm slanging this 'cane, from Youngsfolk, Virginia to the bay
Every day, flipping them browns
Sharp me for my shit, I'm baseball whipping
Like pac man, niggas don't doubt it, been bout it
Rolling with my click, Prime Suspects
Ready to die rich or die a bitch
You know my trip, I'm ready to die rich or die a bitch
Nigga, you feel me
[Prime Suspects]
What's that music man?
Man what's the real Milly bro?
I said bro I got to get, we got to get rich
Man that nigga Gotti
Lil Gotti
Fuck it, so lets go get it cause you know I ain't no bitch
[Mac] Chorus
You either die rich or die a bitch
Hit that flow when my trigger finger itch
[Prime Suspects]
I want all that shit x4
[Prime Suspects]
Yo, I'm coming, you running, cause I'm gunning
My nine humming, 12 gauge to your fuckin stomach
Facing charges, my ??? is of runs and guns
Getting it done, for the fun, putting it down like Torrence nigga
Run, be that killa California
Home if that nigga did one leave you soaked
Like a sonar, a No Limit soldier
Been totin', fuck ghetto quotes
Murder he spoke, I never wrote
I live with the most, I left a note
PS undercover, pull the bluff from my coat, BITCH
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/lil-gotti-gambino/-/die-rich.html]
You die rich or a bitch nigga
Situation too real so you bail
And when you see us don't bow, nigga kneel
Used to wonder how you jump ship in full throttle
But when a nigga got your heart too so you usually follow
Now you screamin and hollerin, with that middle no ax
But the world can't hear you, with that deed off your back
You gameless but you shameless
Like a five dollar hoe on the stroll
And its gonna be ripped up to toe
Guarantee to die a bitch, block hardy
Not a prophet just a hoe ass bitch
Huh, realase that smoke from your ass, I hear you hollerin, whaaaat
My momma raised me up a little bad motherfucker
At the age of fifteen told me slow down it brother
You bout to get our shit with all that weed hold firm
Don't be no bitch little nigga, get the riches of the world
So I'm a let know, I'm out for the gusto rippin some key
I can't be late cause this murder rate is at an all time pace
Less your kicks up, you better duck cause I could give a fuck
As for this tool I got, step poppa gave me this stuff, nigga
Chorus x4
[Lil Gotti Gambino]
Four, five, mack 10, my only friend
Who can guarantee me papers till my end
Selecting my dividends I want it all
I'm macking a hog in 97, chasing down the chedder
Down for whatever, hustling in any kind of weather
Running with killers, thug niggas, drug dealers
You feel us, no limit thrillers, mob figures
Made niggas, livin the family of grave niggas
So misbehave, front page my mafia wave
Got me inches away from a cage my gat you display
On partners be played, my silent prayers be thug haters
In thier grave I be a breeder
All my days can I take time out to pray
Cause momma said judgement day ain't far away
So I be thuggin, pistol huggin, slug bustin
I wish a nigga would trip, I'm a do him wrong and split his dome
To the moon, to the danger zone
And get dealt with, you either die rich or die a bitch
Lil Gotti, representing
I'm representing that whole Gambino Family
Mia X, the farazano, unlady like, Mr. Serv-On
TRU, Prime Suspects, with that platinum shit
With the beats by the pound, P, the colonel, that nigga Silkk
The Shocker, C-Murder, the whole No Limit family
Represent, for you

U.S. Ambassador to Singapore Visits UCLA Anderson
Discusses major improvements among U.S. and Singapore relations
LOS ANGELES -- UCLA Anderson Center for Global Management recently hosted a visit to UCLA by U.S. Ambassador to Singapore, The Honorable David Adelman. His visit included a meeting with UCLA Anderson Dean Judy Olian, UCLA's Chancellor Gene Block and a roundtable discussion with faculty and professors from UCLA Anderson and main campus. It concluded with a private dinner with students from the school's Global Executive MBA (GEMBA) for Asia-Pacific program who met Ambassador Adelman and heard his discussion on the current relationship between the United States and Singapore. (The GEMBA Asia Pacific program is a collaborative, dual degree partnership between UCLA Anderson and the national University of Singapore.) Ambassador Adelman highlighted the major accomplishments involving security, trade and investment that have emanated from his office since his arrival in Singapore.
"U.S. investment in Singapore is at a level greater than ever before in history," Adelman said. "Direct foreign investment is now up to $116 billion. That's twice the U.S. investment in China, five or six times the U.S. investment in India and more than all the investment in Africa and other countries in South East Asia combined."
According to Adelman, collaboration between the two countries on issues of security and defense has progressed significantly since he took office in April 2010. He said that Singapore accepted the forward deployment of two United States Navy vessels, called littoral combat ships (LCS), an action first announced in January 2012. The first of these leading-edge, high-tech assets from the naval fleet will arrive in Singapore in March 2013, and the others later in the year. The ambassador highlighted this as an important development, as these vessels are especially equipped to provide humanitarian aid and disaster relief to South East Asia.
Adelman also explained how the growth of U.S. trade surplus, with increases in U.S. exports to Singapore and South East Asia, jointly benefits both countries. The relationship between U.S. and Singapore has produced thousands of additional jobs over the past 15 months and contributed to the American economic recovery. In addition, U.S. firms are employing hundreds of thousands of Singaporeans as a result of the very hospitable climate that has been established.
He further touched on the increasing efforts to promote regularity and institutionalization to the educational exchanges with Singapore. Currently there are 4,000 Singaporean students studying in the United States and 400 American students studying in Singapore.
The ambassador's international involvement is not limited to Singapore; he has been at the core of leading trade missions to India, Malaysia and Vietnam. Most recently, he lead the first American trade mission in history to Naypyidaw, the capital of Burma, and was responsible for releasing trade sanctions, which allows Coca-Cola to distribute its products in the country for the first time.
The ambassador encouraged the students to have the businesses they work for and strategies that they execute for shareholders, customers and employees touch Singapore and South East Asia in some way.
The event was hosted by the Center for Global Management (CGM), a privately funded center at UCLA Anderson that serves as the focal point for advancing the school's global agenda and as the coordinating mechanism for UCLA Anderson's global programs and activities.
The UCLA-NUS Global Executive MBA for Asia-Pacific class of 2012 celebrated their commencement Saturday August 25, 2012.

Moral Choices
I am what I am. In the same way I could no more change being right-handed to left-handed, or white to black, I can't change being gay to straight. Born gay or raised gay--who cares? I am gay. I have a responsibility to myself to make the most of it, and that's exactly what I intend to do.
I'm as entitled as any straight person to experience love, to live my life with the person I love, and to grow old and crotchety together. That's not a straight or gay right--that's a human right. And no one has the right to take that away from me.
As gay people, we have choices. Among them is the choice to live our lives in a way that's morally upstanding. Thus, we have the choice to be promiscuous, as many gay men are, or to seek a partner, settle down, and build a life together.
Is my intention to make homosexuality more socially acceptable by suggesting we adopt the heterosexual ideal of monogamy? Sure. What's wrong with that? How can any of us think sleeping around is as beneficial to our gay culture, to our reputation, and to our spirit, as settling down?
Young gay people have choices, and I urge them to make the right ones. Giving in to the impulse to be promiscuous as you expand into the gay community is not only the easy route, it's been done before, countless times. Millions of times. Believe me.
You can do better than that. Respect yourself enough not to be used sexually. Even though you think you're getting something out of every time you sleep with someone, make no mistake, you aren't. You're only being used.
Promiscuity in the gay community is rooted in low self-esteem. When you believe you have nothing to offer anyone but sex, you give it away willingly, and you lose yourself in the process. No one ever learned to love himself by having sex with every cute face or hot body.
That can only be done by making the tough choices, by choosing to live up to a high personal standard, and by believing you're worth so much more than one-night stands.

I don't know. For the most part I agree with you, but at the same time I know that I'm not ready to settle down yet I do need that kind of release. I think the thing is making sure that one-night stands are the exception rather than the rule.ReplyDelete
Fair enough, Strange Boy. I understand. But at least I got my idea out there, and at least you've given it some thought. That's all I ask. Each person has to decide for himself what's right and what's wrong.ReplyDelete
Honestly, I'm no stranger to one-night stands. It's pretty hard to be a gay male and not have them because that seems to be the prevalent way gay men relate to each other.
But I kept them to a minimum. I engaged in them only if I thought something more might develop between me and the other fellow. Did I feel used after they happened and he left? You bet. Didn't help my self-esteem at all.
More often than not, I didn't do what the other guy requested. This was when a lot about HIV and AIDS was unknown, and I wasn't willing to engage in any risky behavior, period. Also, I was raised to believe sex was shared between adults who love each other. I'm old-fashioned; I still believe that.
That said, I enjoyed some intimate and non-sexual encounters that satisfied whatever craving I had to be physically close to someone (an impulse common to all of us). Most times, that's all I really needed.
Thanks for your comment and your feedback. I appreciate your interest and your honesty.

The best way to conquer a balanced life has always been the more difficult option - it has lots of stones on the road. Temptation is always knocking at our doors.Generally it comes to us by the illusion of great looks and hot bodies.Frequently there are just the bodies! The secret is to resist. But this peculiar resistence is not a matter of moral or a matter of religious rules - it belongs to a matter of self-esteem. Sex is very good. Everybody knows it. But sex without a proposal except sex is just a synonym of masturbation. We are free to choose our best way: monogamy or a man by day without knowing his name sometimes. If we know that mind and soul come first than voluptuos bodies without brains and that the nature is uncontrolable, because it is not possible to stop our aging or death, better say:"SEEK A PARTNER, SETTLE DOWN, BUILT A LIFE TOGETHER" and never look back! LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR has no future! Antonio AugustoReplyDelete
Wow! A.A., you have said a mouthful. Of course, I love your point of view. And, of course, you're right.ReplyDelete
Long before I came out or was sexual, I always believed the "gay lifestyle" was empty and meaningless. And I did everything I could to resist it, even though, as you say, the temptation was always there.
I know my philosophy of living a moral, gay life isn't for everyone--that, to some, promiscuity is an entitlement, an opportunity to indulge in lots of sexual experiences with lots of different men. But I disagree.
As you point out, resisting the temptation to be promiscuous is a function of self-esteem. If you love yourself, you're more likely to make better choices, which was the point of this post. But this is not easy for some (which is the whole reason why I continue to harp on the subject of building self-esteem).
Oh, well, all I can do is make my beliefs known and hope some will give them some thought.
Thanks for your comment.

How to get a credit card settlement is a question that many holders ask. The reason is that many of them fell into the trap of piling up the bills and ended up facing a serious debt problem.
The problems on credit card debts are sometimes unanticipated. While you think the debt is under control, you won't see any reason why you should stop using the card so the tendency is to purchase lots of stuff, even the least important things.
The problem starts when you miss one month on the payment since the next amount due will surely appear substantially higher than expected. When you start to fail paying even the minimum amount, the increase will continue until the amount gets out of control and the accumulated bills will already be difficult to pay. When things like this happen, you need to know how to get a credit card settlement.
If this scenario is familiar to you, you should know how to get a credit card settlement or else risk getting collection calls, getting subsequent collection letters and worse, facing debt case from the legal department.
The settlement starts with your decision to negotiate with your creditor. It could either be a simple approach to the company or through a professional. When you want to do it yourself, you should keep the following things in mind:
1. Understand that creditors only want to get your payment. This means that they may not be always open to any negotiation especially to an arrangement that puts them in the losing end.
2. You will have tough times dealing with the credit card companies. It could be that they will not be nice to you or they will be nice but you will have a long wait on their feedback or updates.
3. Creditors may want you to play by their rules. This notion is very common that others think that creditors are playing you for a fool. The truth is that they do want you to play by their rules, but only to minimize their loss. So when you want to make a deal, do it in a way that will persuade them that it is for their own benefit.
4. Only commit to a deal when you are sure to meet them. Otherwise, don't commit at all. Always arrange a deal that is favourable for you and your creditors. Failing to meet your commitment may lead to more serious debt problem in the future.
5. Do your homework. Before approaching your creditors, it is important that you know how your creditors deal with credit card settlement, know the creditors policies and guidelines, know what documents to prepare, know how to make a persuasive proposal, and many others that would result to a good settlement.
If these things sound scary or daunting to you, then you can always opt for professional help to settle your accumulated credit card debt with your creditors. The professionals can do the dirty work on your behalf. All you have to do is give them the information that they need and they will take care of the rest. Just be sure to find a legitimate service provider.

The never too early 2013 College Football Top 25
1. Alabama - Big surprise
2. Oregon
3. Stanford
4. Ohio State
12. Notre Dame
18. Wisconsin
20. Nebraska
22. Northwestern
23. Michigan
The Wolverines are hoping they'll make the same improvement other recent teams have made in their coach's third season. Michigan went 8-5 in coach Brady Hoke's second season and never really seemed to recover from its 41-14 loss to Alabama in the opener. The good news is juniorDevin Gardner got some experience at quarterback after Denard Robinson was injured midway through the season. Gardner went 3-2 as a starter, completing 59 percent of his passes with 11 touchdowns in the five games he played under center. The Wolverines might have to replace four starting offensive linemen if junior left tackle Taylor Lewan leaves for the NFL draft. Six starters are coming back on defense, but they'll miss cornerback J.T. Floyd and safety Jordan Kovacs. Michigan's schedule won't be easy in 2013, with games at Penn State, Michigan State and Northwestern and home games against Notre Dame, Nebraska and Ohio State.

1/4 tsp turmeric
View the complete recipe
I love lamb burgers and can't wait to try this out. How much tumeric was used? It wasn't on your list. Thanks!
1/4 tsp! I just added. thanks!
Do you think the dish would benefit from sitting in the bridge overnight before cooking to let the flavors marry?
Another delicious sounding dish John. While they generally don't grind as finely why not get a glass mortar and pestle for the videos? They are the next best thing to a mortar with a light.
Thanks! The glass are way too slick to grind in for me. Need the rougher marble for this.
Chef. You are a food ninja ... or ninja chef. My food wish is for a list of your 5 (or so) favorite recipes ever. I know you love most of them, but what are a few of your recipes that you consider the "must try recipes?"
Also, thanks for helping me become a better cook.
Hi John, just a quick question, what's a good substitute for Harissa? I know you provided a link on how to make it from scratch but I don't have all the ingredients at the moment. Thanks in advance!
Basically, use anything spicy made from red peppers. Not sure what that means for you, but other hot chili sauces would be the only sub. Or, or a few tubes online. The stuff rocks!
Great! Thank you!
Chef John, what size mortar do you use? I have thought about getting one (though I usually use a powered grinder for spices, it's not really useful for making pastes) but I'm never sure what's the right size.
Love your videos!
Not sure, it's about 5 inches across. Size not a huge deal, just get one the size of a small bowl and you're good to go.
Hmm, wonder how this would work with ground chicken. Might give it a whirl.

Abstract: Music, Healing and Sacred Space in Classical Greece: A New Interpretation of the Thymele of Epidauros
Around 380 B.C.E., the citizens of the small Peloponnesian city Epidauros launched a massive building program at the nearby healing sanctuary of Asklepios. One of the most impressive and sophisticated structures belonging to this program was an elaborate, mysterious round building known in the ancient sources as the thymele. At that time, and for its size, the thymele was the most costly and most ornate building in all the Peloponnese.
Since its excavation in the nineteenth century, archaeologists have proposed a wide range of interpretations for the thymele. For example, the thymele has been considered to be either Asklepios's tomb or as an architectural frame for an altar to the hero-god. These readings seem logical, given the building's central position in Asklepios's sanctuary and the building's name—the term thymele is often associated with altars or other places of sacrifice. Perhaps less well known, the thymele has also been interpreted as a prytaneion, a fountain house, a dining hall, and astronomical tool, a library, a space for therapeutic incubation, and even as a house for Asklepios's sacred snakes. A curious hole at the center of the thymele's floor opens into the labyrinthine infrastructure below, and this been interpreted as a well or a pit (ἐναγιστήριον) for offerings including blood libations and eggs (a common symbol of rebirth) that were supposedly poured into it from the cella above. Other scholars have suggested that the labyrinthine infrastructure was a maze through which worshippers wandered like initiates in a mystery cult.
In this lecture, Dr. Peter Schultz offers another solution to this long standing mystery, the speculative suggestion that, in addition to many other possible functions, the thymele at Epidauros also served as a space for musical performance and that the design of the thymele, specifically its elaborate substructure, served to amplify and resonate sacred music performed within the building's cella. This argument complements a growing body of scholarship on the acoustics of ancient structures, a field of study known as archaeoacoustics, and seeks to place the thymele at Epidauros within a dynamic, living past.

As promised/threatened, I made the Ford Cocktail that Ted "Dr. Cocktail" Haigh recommended on NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday. Doc said to Liane Hansen that this is a drink he wants to revive in 2009 and rightfully so. It's delicious. He describes it as lovely and beautifully balanced, and once again, the doctor's prescription is right on the money. I'm happy to do my part.
Although the only source Haigh mentions is "an 1895 book," I was able to uncover it with my fancy Google fu–George J. Kappeler's Modern American Drinks.
Modern American Drinks How to Mix and Serve All Kinds of Cups and Drinks By George J. Kappeler
Haigh modernized the measurements for Hansen as follows:
Ford Cocktail
- 1 oz. gin
- 1 oz. dry vermouth
- 3 dashes Benedictine
- 3 dashes orange bitters
- Orange twist, for garnish
Technique: Stir over cracked ice in a mixing glass. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Add garnish.
Notes: Doc didn't actually mention the garnish to Hansen, but since it's in Kappeler's, I've added it. You can see from Jen's photo that I used lemon. You might recall that Jen's allergic to orange. Finally, to address the perennial question–how much is 3 dashes of Benedictine?–I dashed the orange bitters first into my measuring cup and noted the level. I then carefully measured a roughly equal amount of Benedictine.

Bastrop 14, Delhi Charter 4
Morgan Edmonds, Cade Cantrell and Kyle Perkins had two hits apiece as Bastrop was a 14-4 winner over Delhi Charter in the Bastrop-Sterlington Tournament on Thursday night at Baron Ballpark.
Oak Grove won the early game, 4-1, over Lakeside.
The tournament continues Friday with games at Baron, Sterlington, Ouachita Christian and St. Frederick.
Friday's schedule at Baron has Rayville vs. Cedar Creek at 4 p.m. and Southwood vs. Bastrop at 6:30. On Saturday, it's Farmerville vs. Oak Grove at 10 a.m., Oak Grove vs. Minden at 12:30 p.m. and Farmerville vs. Bastrop at 3.
In Thursday's late game, the visiting Gators jumped out to a 2-0 first inning lead.
Austyn Davis led off the game with a base hit, Cole Stracener put down a bunt single and T.J. Ramshur reached on a one-out error.
Bastrop didn't trail for long, scoring three runs after starting the bottom of the first with two outs and the bases empty.
Chase Cockrell was hit by a pitch and Cade Cantrell scorched a double down the left field line. Dollar Ridgell then legged out an RBI infield single to get the Rams on the board. Two more runs crossed when Gavin Pollock pulled into second base following a fielding error.
Plating three more runs with two away, the Rams padded their lead to 6-3 with three more in the third.
Perkins singled to right with one down and Khalil Key hit into a force play for the second out. Jerry Powell walked and Ty Cantrell was grazed by a pitch to jam the sacks. Next up, Edmonds pushed a two-run single into center field. Ty Cantrell continued home when the throw from home plate sailed into center field as Edmonds slid into second base.
DC closed within 6-3 in the fourth.
Davis doubled to right with one down and completed the circuit when Will Zeigler motored all the way to third on a mishandled fly ball. Outfielders from both teams had problems finding the ball after sunset.
Bastrop tacked on two more in the home half of the fourth.
Cade Cantrell walked, moved to third on a pair of wild pitches and beat the throw to the plate on Ridgell's RBI groundout to second base.
With one out and the bases clear, Pollock walked. Courtesy runner Ska'Darryo Johnson scurried to third on an overthrown pickoff attempt and tallied on Perkins' base knock, upping the Rams' lead to 8-3.
John Kevin Greer and Colby Dulaney drew back-to-back one-out walks in the DC fifth, before Bastrop starter Chase Cockrell gave way to Ridgell on the mound. Josh Gilmore's bunt single loaded the bases and, one out later, Davis was hit by a pitch to force in the Gators' final run.
Bastrop scored six runs on only one hit — Cade Cantrell's RBI infield single — in the bottom of the fifth to put the 10-run rule into effect. Key drove in the deciding run with an RBI groundout to shortstop.
"This was a good way to start the tournament," Bastrop coach Whit Whitlock said. "Chase didn't have his best stuff, but he gutted it out and Dollar came in and did his job. We hit the ball better than we have the past four or five games.
"Delhi Charter's a young team, but they beat Rayville and Franklin Parish. They were good competition."
Cade Cantrell went 2-for-3 with a double and three runs scored to pace the Rams (3-7) offensively. Perkins went 2-for-3 and drove in a pair of runs, Edmonds contributed a pair of singles and Ty Cantrell and Ridgell provided base hits.
Davis doubled and singled for the Gators (6-6) and Stracener and Gilmore beat out bunt singles.
Cockrell struck out four, walked three, hit two and allowed three hits in 4 1/3 innings for the win, with Ridgell picking up the save.
Zeigler was charged with the loss for the Gators, with Ramshur finishing up.
Notes: Bastrop first baseman Cade Cantrell was named to the All-Northeast Louisiana soccer team by the Monroe News-Star. The senior goalkeeper also earned first-team All-District accolades and Academic All-State honors. Cantrell's 14.36 saves per game average was tops in the state for all classifications and his 158 total saves were second in the state. … T.J. Weed, who coached Bastrop's freshmen quarterbacks last season, is now an assistant baseball coach at Delhi Charter.

Odessa, Ontario
The Thousand Islands region of Ontario, Canada, was the perfect backdrop for a childhood filled with adventure for Richard De Wolfe, an artist who still identifies strongly with rural life. The forests, fields, and of course the mighty St. Lawrence River, made the wonders of nature come alive for him.
The art of Richard De Wolfe has been very popular ever since his first one-man show at the age of eighteen. That show was a sell out, supplying him with commissions for many months after. He went on to spend twenty-five years as an illustrator, producing paintings for national and international corporations such as General Motors, Pepsi-Cola, and Sony.
"I believe that working as an illustrator was the best training I could possibly have had. The wide variety of subjects and tight deadlines forced me to hone my skills and become very proficient as a painter. I feel that many of the finest painters alive today are former illustrators," Richard says.
Richard's subject matter is wide-ranging and ever changing. He has painted landscapes and wildlife extensively, but also paints still-life subjects, farm and family scenes, boats, horses and just about anything that catches his eye and imagination. When asked what he wants to accomplish through his art, Richard says, "The important thing is to help people to see what I see and feel what I feel about a subject. What you paint is far less important than how you paint it."
Together with his wife Mary, Richard lives on a horse farm near Kingston, Ontario, where he can study and paint scenes of the Thousand Islands and rural life as well as the wildlife, which is all around him. Richard's work is available in limited edition prints as well as originals. He has participated in many prestigious art shows such as Wildlife Habitat Canada Stamp Competition, the Wye Marsh Festival, Ducks Unlimited, and Canadian Artists and Photographers in Communication Annual Exhibition. Richard's work is featured each year in December, in a one-man show, in Kingston, Ontario.

By Jim Jelter
Can this company get anything right? Briefly Tuesday, the answer seemed to be a resounding "yes."
Hard on the heels of its bizarre #TweetingWithMittens" Super Bowl experiment, J.C. Penney Co. Inc. /quotes/zigman/237947/delayed /quotes/nls/jcp JCP tossed investors something they might actually applaud: its first positive quarterly sales since 2011.
The retailer issued a preliminary report before the opening bell Tuesday stating its fiscal fourth-quarter comparable-store sales rose 3.1% during the all-important nine-week holiday shopping season. For its fiscal fourth quarter, the company said same-stores sales (sales at stores open at least a year) rose 2%.
"While 2013 brought a lot of change and challenges to JCPenney, the steady improvements in our business show that the company's turnaround is on track," Penney's CEO Mike Ullman said in a statement.
The report ended a company blackout on its holiday sales, which up until now had been seen as a sign that things probably weren't going well.
There are a couple of things that would make today's report noteworthy. One is that J.C. Penney, slogging through years of losses, layoffs, store closings and two CEO shifts in as many years, is luring customers back to its foundering brand.
The other is that it did it during a holiday season best remembered for cautious consumers, economic uncertainty and nasty winter weather.
So it was pure relief that sent J.C. Penney shares up 3% at the open.
But the rally didn't last. Wall Street took a closer look at the numbers and found them lacking. Less than an hour into the session, the 3% relief rally had turned into a 3% decline, extending Penney's losses to 39% since the start of 2014.
Under the headline "SSS in 4Q Just Not Good Enough," retail industry analysts at Sterne Agee wrote: "While posting a +2% comp in 4Q is a step in the right direction, the slope of the improvement continues to disappoint. Equally concerning our math suggests comps were negative (say 1%) during the December period which frankly is just unacceptable given the compare."
They continue: "JCPenney needs the improvement to be much better than currently tracking and it is becoming increasingly critical that the company starts to see meaningful improvement if it is to survive as currently constituted."
So apparently JCPenney has yet to make the case on Wall Street that Ullman's turnaround has taken hold.

NEW ORLEANS — Immediately after the Super Bowl ended, there were several sad sights. One of them wore a No. 11 jersey.
Alex Smith slowly left the field after the 49ers defeat, thus ending a season in which he lost his starting quarterback job. He had watched the 34-31 loss from the sideline and now was making the morose walk to the locker room, surely his last as a 49ers player.
Or was it?
It has seemed to be a foregone conclusion that Smith won't be with the 49ers next season. That's because Colin Kaepernick has so obviously established himself as the No. 1 guy at Smith's position — which supposedly means that Smith will be traded or waived during the offseason. If he's waived, that would make Smith a free agent able to sign with any other NFL team.
But who says it will happen for certain? You can make a case that letting Smith go is not the best choice for the franchise.
In fact, I will make that case fairly vociferously.
I refer you here to the words of Jim Harbaugh — and not just the ones he uttered Tuesday. From the moment Harbaugh took over as coach of the 49ers, he has preached the mantra of his college mentor, Bo Schembechler: the team, the team, the team.
So let's talk about Harbaugh's 2013 team, the one that will assemble again in summer training camp. There's no way that team will be better without Smith on the roster as a backup quarterback — if only because of the way Kaepernick utilizes his legs as such a vital part of his game.
Kaepernick stayed healthy and intact through his 10 starts after replacing Smith. But the law of averages tends to catch up with multipurpose quarterbacks of the read-option tribe.
Do you recall what happened to Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III in the Redskins' only playoff game this season? He was hurt early in the contest and ineffective. Michael Vick of Philadelphia missed three weeks of the 2012 schedule because of injury. Both men use their feet at least as much as Kaepernick.
So if Kaepernick goes down next season — for a game or longer — whom do you want trotting out to replace him? If Smith leaves, the backup 49ers quarterback would likely be the untested Scott Tolzien, who will be in his third NFL season. Smith, who was among the NFL passing leaders before the concussion that led to his demotion, is clearly a better player than Tolzien.
So why wouldn't the 49ers keep Smith, who is under contract for two more seasons? The arguments against it boil down to (1) the money they would have to pay him and (2) the 49ers owe Smith a favor because he has been such a good soldier since losing his starting job.
Both arguments are invalid. Smith did indeed sign a three-year contract for $24 million last March, a deal that would pay him a $7.5 million salary next season along with a $1 million bonus.
The 49ers can keep Smith on the roster if they pay him. And team executives hint that it would be possible to pay Smith the $8.5 million while still staying under the salary cap — largely because Kaepernick's salary is about $741,000 next season and his cap is a reasonable $1.297 million. The 49ers will need to spend a little money to re-sign some other players on the current roster — but with some finagling, they can certainly handle Smith's paycheck.
So. If money isn't an issue, then why not hold onto the guy? Near as I can tell, it's because Smith is a helluva guy. And he is — on the field and off.
Day after day during Super Bowl week, writers came up to Smith asking questions about whether he was bitter or angry. He deflected them all.
"This has been an amazing experience," Smith said during one of his media sessions in New Orleans. "It's a great team and I love being a part of it. . . . It's a team game and a team sport. If you want it to be about yourself, go play golf or tennis. I got into team sports to be a part of a team. There's something very unique about that, the selflessness of a team sport."
So are we to believe that Smith is now going to suddenly become selfish? Smith is going to demand his release March 12 when the free agent period begins? And the 49ers ought to give Smith that release, just because Smith has been a good soldier?
Sorry, that's not how the best NFL teams work, and Harbaugh said as much Tuesday when he indicated there would be no special favors granted to Smith. The best teams stockpile talent as much as possible. In the 49ers' glory days, coach Bill Walsh and coach George Seifert kept Joe Montana or Steve Young on the bench. If Walsh and Seifert could handle the Montana/Young dynamic, surely Harbaugh could handle another year of the Kaepernick/Smith dynamic.
Sure, it would make Smith unhappy. But it's hard to imagine him pouting and not reporting to camp. It's not in his nature. With Smith on the squad, the 49ers would have as good a 1-2 quarterback combination as any NFL team. Isn't that preferable?
If Smith were a different type of personality, it might be a risk to keep him around. But he's the kind of guy who understands the NFL's business model. Plus, did I mention he'd be making an $8.5 million salary? What's better, life as a backup quarterback for a Super Bowl contender or life as a starting quarterback for a lousy team?
Someone from the 49ers needs to at least think about asking Alex Smith that question. And Smith needs to think hard about the answer.

Montesa was formed in 1944 by Pedro Permanyer and Francisco Bulto (who later formed Bultaco). They built their first batch of machines based on the very successful Motobecanes of the day. By 1951, their 125cc machines were entered in the ISDT, one being ridden by Senor Bulto himself. In 1963, American entrepreneur Kim Kimball, in association with film star Steve McQueen, began importing the Montesa Impala 175cc Scrambler for the American market. The small operation that started in Kimball's garage would grow to the point where Montesa had 350 dealers in the United States and "Viva Montesa" became a well-known phrase. Race car drivers Dan Gurney and Phil Hill became Montesa stockholders.
The VR acronym stands for Vehkonen Replica. The Finnish rider gave Montesa its greatest Grand Prix results, including a fourth in the 1972 250cc World Championships (the first European brand in the standings). In March of 1973, riding a 360cc prototype, Kalevi Vehkonen won a 500 GP at De Duinen, Belgium, beating DeCoster and Mikkola. As with all Spanish bikes, Montesas were beautiful machines with their red fiberglass tanks, long seats, black fenders (with an M molded in), and their wrinkle-fin cylinder and head. Over the ensuing years, Montesa would change the acronym to V75 (1975), VA (1976-77), VB (1978), VE (1979), VF (1980-82) and VG (1983) before Honda bought the brand. It is no surprise that they skipped VC and VD.
After Montesa faltered, Honda bought the factory and the name. Honda manufactured Montesa trials machines (at a financial loss) just so they could have access to the Spanish market for their other motorcycles.
Montesa VRs are at the top of the list for AHRMA racers who want a Spanish brand. MXA's example was purchased by the Early Years of Motocross Museum from a Canadian collector for $4500 and is currently valued at $6000.
The 250VR was the only production motocross bike for Montesa in 1974. In 1976, Montesa would add the 125VA and 360VA to their lineup.
The most difficult items to source are the gel-coat fiberglass tank, black plastic fenders, Telesco shocks and Betor forks with "M" stamped on the sliders. But, the rarest parts of all are the rubber petcocks that were operated by squirting a ball bearing back and forth. Why are they rare? Smog would eat the rubber and the petcocks would fail.

Newtown casts long shadow over 2013 General Assembly
Hartford — Democratic and Republican leaders said Wednesday they were ready to work with the governor on gun violence prevention after hearing his "State of the State" speech.
Republican leaders, however, said Gov. Dannel P. Malloy was re-writing history when he spoke of fixing the state's budget and growing jobs.
"I think we, as citizens, owe him a debt of gratitude for the way he led us through Sandy Hook," House Minority Leader Larry Cafero, R-Norwalk, said. "The second part of his speech, however, was a bit of revisionist history. Anybody who believes, and obviously he does, ... (that) we in the State of Connecticut are in a better place than we were two years ago, I would like to hear why."
Going forward, Republicans said they hoped they would be included in the upcoming two-year budget discussions. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle said they were ready to focus on energy, in particular increasing access to natural gas. But the focus of the first part of the session will be on how to improve access to mental health services, bolster school safety and prevent gun violence.
Shadow of Newtown
Malloy opened his speech by recognizing those who lost their lives in the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, the victims' loved ones, and those who have helped the community during this trying time.
To First Selectwoman Pat Llondra and School Superintendent Janet Robinson, both seated with Cathy Malloy, the governor's wife, he said, "your compassion and leadership over the past month has been an inspiration to Connecticut, and to me personally."
He said his newly created Sandy Hook Advisory Commission would provide public safety recommendations by March 15.
"More guns are not the answer," he said. "Freedom is not a handgun on the hip of every teacher, and security should not mean a guard posted outside every classroom."
Legislators said they were ready for a bipartisan effort to address the Newtown tragedy. Cafero said he thought common ground could be reached. He said some people fear that all guns would be outlawed or that the new gun controls would be too weak, if, for example, they only limited high-capacity magazines to 100 rounds, he said. But controlling and restricting the use of guns to improve public safety doesn't have to mean taking away rights, he said.
"I believe those two things could co-exist if done properly," Cafero said.
He and newly confirmed Speaker of the House Brendan Sharkey, D-Hamden, said they met with state police Tuesday to get officers' perspectives on gun safety.
Cafero said he learned that it would be difficult to enforce a ban on all guns with magazines because there are "hundreds of millions" of them around the country.
There is currently a proposal by state Sen. Beth Bye, D-West Hartford, and state Rep. Bob Godfrey, D-Danbury, to ban the possession and sale of any rifle, shotgun or pistol magazine with a capacity of more than 10 rounds, and to expand the definition of an assault weapon.
Sharkey said he left the state police meeting thinking there were some actions that could be taken in the immediate future. Democratic and Republican leadership planned to meet Wednesday afternoon to discuss what could be done quickly. Sharkey said he hoped they could have bills ready for action by the end of February.
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., who also attended the governor's speech, said he would work in partnership with state legislators, and he hoped Connecticut could lead the nation in reducing gun violence.
Blumenthal proposed federal legislation Tuesday that would require ammunition buyers to go through a background check. He said this could first be implemented in Connecticut and then on the national level.
The gun seizure law, which allows police officers to take guns from someone before they commit a violent act, also could be strengthened and be a model for the country, he said.
Blumenthal added that he was speaking with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Gerald Fox about how he and state lawmakers could work together.
Budget disagreement
The governor said that two years ago, his administration and the legislature came together, passed a balanced budget and added new revenue.
Even when revenues fell short, the budget "as-enacted" solved more than 90 percent of the problem, he said.
Last month, in a bipartisan effort, the government closed the "final gap" without raising taxes. The state still faces a $40 million budget deficit for fiscal year 2013, according to Comptroller Kevin Lembo.
But Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, R-Fairfield, said the budget passed two years ago didn't work and wasn't created in a bipartisan fashion.
"It didn't work. Our unemployment rate has gone up, we still have deficits, he did not achieve the union savings that he said he would achieve," McKinney said. "Those are hard numbers that actuaries can say he didn't achieve what he said he did."
Cafero said the successful programs, including measures targeting education, jobs, energy and deficit mitigation, involved bipartisanship.
"Everything else that was done in the one-party form, the one-party rule, was a disaster," he said.
Going forward, both Cafero and McKinney said they are hopeful about being included in the budget development.
"I am going to engage in a bipartisan budget process starting now until I am told otherwise," McKinney said.
Cafero said he was hopeful that the "spirit" of Sandy Hook would carry into the upcoming session.
Energy strategy
The governor said he would continue to push forward his comprehensive strategy to expand access to energy, especially natural gas and clean energy.
Legislators on both sides of the aisle said it was time to expand the natural gas market. The controversy lies in how other energy providers, such as those in the oil and petroleum industries will react.
"I think it will be a question about the role of government in partnering or assisting one particular energy field versus others," state Sen. Andrew Maynard, D-Stonington, said.
Sharkey said he thought the state should diversify its energy sources to become economically competitive. The priority would be expanding energy choices, which should drop the cost of energy for homeowners and small businesses, he said.
What do you think is the most important issue for the Connecticut 2013 legislative session?
Tackle gun issues.
Resolve the budget shortfall.
Do away with partisan politics.
Adequately fund the state's share of healthcare.
I'm through hoping that politicians will do what's right.

Bug Report
From LinuxTVWiki
If you find a bug please report it on:
Please include as much relevant information as possible to help diagnosis the problem. For example, a good problem report should include:
- identification of the device with which your having difficulty
- the device's subsystem ID, taken from the output of lspci -vnn (for PCI/PCIe devices) or lsusb -v (for USB based devices)
- the environment your running it under (e.g. Fedora 10, with kernel 220.127.116.11, 64-bit), and with what other hardware (e.g. ASUS Core 2 Duo motherboard)
- a note of whether you're using the built in kernel drivers supplied by your distro or if you have installed the v4l-dvb driver set
- the relevant portions of your dmesg log showing module probing and/or tuning (if applicable). It also nice to add module debug options (for example: audio_debug, tuner_debug, tda9887 debug etc etc) for the driver module in question, and then provide the dmesg output.
- cite the television standard applicable for your device (e.g. ATSC tuner card, PAL capture card)
- Exact sequence of actions that causes your problem. If it is possible, try to provide a simple reproducible test case, as this makes it much easier to track down the actual problem.
Generally, "your problem" will likely be related to a driver, an app, or a combination of the two. It isn't always easy to tell where the exact problem lies. A big help is to check each part with various tools (for example, with analogue devices, you can try those in the V4L Test Suite).
Lastly, if you have an idea how to fix this bug please include the Bugfix in your email message!

When Will the Media's Obsession With the "Down Low" Die?
By Kellee Terrell
July 8, 2010
On the June 22 episode of The View, guest host D.L. Hughley attempted to school America on why HIV is so prevalent among African-American women. He said with confidence, "They are getting it from men who are on the down low."
Co-host Sherri Shepherd agreed with Hughley, and proceeded to offer her take on what the "down low" is: "The down low is African-American men who have sex with men and then have sex with their girlfriends -- or their wives. They're husbands, as well. It's very prevalent in the African-American community. Very!"
Despite the massive amount of data collected over the years that has found the down low is not fueling the HIV/AIDS epidemic in black America -- including a study released last October -- mainstream media has continued to scapegoat "undercover brothas," allowing its own homophobia and bias to take over its ability to cover the epidemic fairly and accurately.
This incident on The View became an instant topic of conversation in the LGBT blogosphere, with numerous bloggers weighing in, including Queerty and Rod: 2.0 Beta. (Ironically, mainstream media was somewhat reluctant to cover the controversy.) On June 24, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) issued a Call to Action petition against ABC and The View, asking for them to make a retraction for their defamatory and erroneous statements. While their efforts garnered thousands of signatures, ABC refused to apologize.
Last Thursday, The Root -- a Newsweek/Washington Post Interactive publication geared for African Americans -- printed an opinion piece I wrote about why media's obsession with blaming HIV/AIDS on down-low black men is dangerous.
In "The Down-Low Delusion," I wrote:
I also discussed the importance for media outlets to utilize seasoned experts as opposed to misinformed talking heads:
I also added that The View isn't the only news outlet guilty of blaming the down low:
Hopefully, ABC and CNN are listening.
Do you think that the media will ever get past the down low and start talking about real issues when it comes to HIV/AIDS? Leave a comment and tell us what you think.

Previously I was all happy and impressed by the performance and stability of NDepend v3.0. I still am, but alas, the fact remains that no matter how well you design and build something, there will always be something much more horrid to make your work crumble to pieces. When I started moving onto the larger deployments in the enterprise - numbering near 2000 assemblies - the several hundred DataSet assemblies reared their ugly heads again and utterly crushed NDepend with the weight of all their fatty members. This is no fault of NDepend, really, but just one of many signs that the architects who envisioned such work need to be burnt at the stake. With aircraft-grade jet fuel.
So how should one deal with when being faced with such gigantic .NET solutions? The most apparent workaround is simply to point out the DataSet assemblies and exclude them completely from analysis. But this prevents NDepend from gaining awareness of elements in those assemblies; crucial CQL queries regarding how DataSets and DataTables are being utilised cannot be fully realised.
Thankfully, there is an alternative - make the DataSet assemblies tier assemblies (blue) instead of application-level assemblies. How to do that? I discovered this by accident, when i originally moved all DataSet assemblies to a separate sub-directory. I did so to avoid selecting them with a Select-all operation during the assembly-selection process for Analysis. Of course, this only ended up with the above situation since my original intention was to exlcude the DataSet assemblies totally. The trick came when I actually re-added them into the (application) assembly list for analysis, and subsequently removed them. NDepend, knowing that those assemblies were being referenced and made use of, shifted their entries from the application column over to the tier column.
With such a setup, analysis of ~1500 application assemblies with ~300 tier DataSet assemblies was possible without OutOfMemoryException blowing up. With this manner of analysis completed, I was able to query out names of DataSets/DataTables being used within stacks of method calls, satisfying most of our data-related questions about our code base. Hopefully this tactic can help others faced with monolithtic systems manage a little better when attempting to do some untangling study with NDepend.
Indeed tier assemblies is a cool NDepeni features I descaibed in depth here: Controlling the usage of Library
> the several hundred DataSet assemblies reared their ugly heads again and utterly crushed NDepend with the weight of all their fatty members.
Our goal achieved with NDepend v3, was to be able to analyze the whole .NET Fx assemblies on a 32 bits machine in less than a minute. This represents around 1.5M Lines of Code. So with your datasets assemblies, your app seems to be bigger than the whole .NET Fx. You can buy a 64bits machine :)
interesting... and hilarious!!! especially now that im on the same boat! hahaha!

The Dolphins quarterback spot puzzles me a little bit.
Think about it: The team has a Pro Bowl caliber veteran in Chad Pennington that is unsigned beyond this year and no effort has been made to get the guy a new contract.
Well, that makes sense because the Dolphins want to transfer to Chad Henne by next season, you might say.
Problem is Henne is terribly unproven and even as he's had more work this offseason and preseason than any other QB on the team, he's been sometimes good (versus Carolina) sometimes bad (versus Tampa Bay), sometimes somewhere in between (versus Jacksonville). There's a word for that: Inconsistent.
The Tampa game in which Henne had a 16.1 quarterback rating was eye-opening. And coach Tony Sparano believes much of the problem is on Henne.
"Well, I mean, if you overthrow a ball, I think it's on you, you know, as a quarterback," Sparano said. "No way around that. There were maybe one or two read things I think that could have been done differently, and then there was some other help, you know. So, meaning: other guys not doing maybe what they should be doing on a play that, that the quarterback takes either the fault for or gets credit for, one way or the other. So, I would say that in that game, you know, Chad was responsible for some of that, and some of the other people were. I mean, that's an honest answer."
As to Pat White, well, don't even get me started on Pat White. White is simply not an NFL game-caliber QB right now. He has trouble getting the center snap, he has trouble exploding on his drop back, he's thinking too much about his footwork -- whether it's a three or five-step drop. And we haven't even started to discuss him recognizing coverages, setting up protections and then, finally, throwing an accurate pass downfield.
Let me put it this way: If the Dolphins suffer injuries to their No. 1 and No. 2 QB in the regular-season opener that would force them to play another QB in week 2, they would have to sign a veteran QB and that guy, after one week, would have as much a chance of succeeding as White in the next game.
I am not saying Pat White is a bust, so don't put words in my mouth. I am not saying Pat White cannot improve. I'm simply making the point that Pat White has a looooong way to go and much work to do.
That is the reason the Dolphins have been reticent about using White in the wildcat package. They're so busy trying to bring him up to speed on being able to play quarterback in the base offense, they don't want to overload him with extra stuff.
So where does this leave us?
It leaves the Dolphins in the very good hands of Chad Pennington. It leaves the Dolphins hoping Pennington stays healthy. It leaves them needing to do more things -- in practice and perhaps even in regular-season games -- to get Henne to play.
It leaves the grand plans for WildPat on the shelf for the time being. Oh, the Dolphins will use Wildcat, no doubt about that. But Ronnie Brown remains the triggerman for that package right now, with two weeks left before the start of the regular season.

Ever used a phony accent to fool somebody?
Yeah, me too.
When I was an 18-year-old college student, in 1963, my buddy Steve and I tried to impress girls at the beach with our English accents. We'd recently appeared in a Shakespearean production on campus and were pretty smug about our Elizabethan intonations. We took those accents on the road throughout Newport-Mesa to dazzle the girls.
Steve and I became Rupert and Clive from Oxford. Our rock-solid opening line was: "Hullo. Could you possibly direct us to the Newport Pier?"
Girls would gaze at us in wonder. "Ohmigosh! Are you guys from Canada?" To which we'd respond: "No, Worcestershire!"
For variety, we'd sometimes draw our vowels out to the threshold of incivility and become Derrick and Colin from Sydney, Australia. Same empire, different accent.
We soon learned that while cloaked in our Brit personas some girls thought us about as charming as a pork pasty or boiled potato. But, as Aussies, we could claim to be outrageous Bondi Beach surfer dudes. That garnered us significant cache in Newport.
Our egos were much too fragile to actually represent ourselves as Jim and Steve from Costa Mesa.
What we came to realize during our cultural forays into Newport's sunbathing set is that the little island nation of England — slightly smaller than the state of Alabama — has about a bazillion different accents.
There's no one accepted manner of English-speak!
You've got your Cornish, Liverpudlian, Yorkshire and Suffolk varieties to be sure, with dozens of others from throughout the English landscape, and a host of disparate tongues found in the warrens of London.
Steve and I strove to speak something akin to "BBC English."
Though British English is certainly not the most difficult of foreign dialects for Americans to mimic, I've learned that not everyone can effectuate a decent stiff-upper-lip rendition. It takes a certain joie de vivre.
Remember Kevin Costner in the 1991 film, "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves"? Brutal. Early in the film Costner tries valiantly — though fails miserably — to sound like a denizen of Nottinghamshire. By mid-movie he drops all artifice and is "Mr. SoCal" for the remainder of the journey.
And how about Dick Van Dyke's fractured Cockney brogue in the 1964 film "Mary Poppins"? Though his body was as limber as Silly Putty, Van Dyke's accent was as rigid as a sheet of Drywall.
Have you noticed that many Hollywood films of the 1930s and '40s employed something called Mid-Atlantic English? Though not the vernacular of any particular locale on Planet Earth, M-A English sort of artificially blends American with British English. It sounds hoity-toity.
Americans view Mid-Atlantic English as a faux-UK dialect, while Brits see it as quasi-American. It was taught in the 1930s and '40s at many of this nation's prestigious acting academies.
I recently watched the sophisticated 1940 comedy, "The Philadelphia Story." Ten minutes into the film I asked myself why all these Philadelphians sounded British? Ever heard a mush-mouthed Philly native speak? That's the town where people pronounce Walt Whitman's name "Wall Women."
Proponents of Mid-Atlantic English have included Americans Katharine Hepburn, William F. Buckley Jr. and Gore Vidal, and Brit Cary Grant. A modern advocate of the vernacular is Kelsey Grammer of "Cheers" and "Frasier" fame.
As an American, have you ever wondered what American English sounds like to a non-English speaker?
I don't speak French, German or Russian, but can distinguish among the three when I hear them spoken in the public arena. Each sounds distinctive to the ear.
So how does English sound? Lilting and melodious, like French? Guttural, like German? Something in-between?
Some individuals in my wife's family — they're native Dutch speakers — have told me that American English sounds "fast but melodic" to the Dutch tympanic membrane, but American Southern accents are almost 100% indecipherable.
Thank you!
Four of my eight grandchildren reside in North Carolina and speak sub-Mason-Dixon English. This Yank has absolutely no ability to comprehend their natterings!
Except when they inquire about the Newport Pier.

On one side of town you have the church who honors the first half of Jude 22, 23, "And of some have compassion". Then in other places around your city are the churches who preach messages designed to bring their attendee's under great conviction, doing as Jude says, "others save with fear" by proclaiming strong doctrine.
Across the board, in media, politics, the internet, and social media, we have found more that divides us than what brings us together. We are told that if we disagree, we hate. Civil discourse is a thing of the past. If we look at what July 4th means, we have a chance, if only for a brief moment, to come together as a nation.
Today we celebrate America's 242nd birthday. While that might not seem long in the timeline of history, we must remember that at one point our country was referred to as the "American Experiment." The Founders of the American Experiment crafted a government whose authority, at its heart, flowed from certain fundamental, biblical truths, not a person or personality.
So if you repeat the exact same propaganda as Planned Parenthood, are you really #prolife? Author, and former evangelical, Rachel Held Evans seems to think so.
One day I came out of my home and the American Flag that I had hanging as a banner on the front of my house was torn in half by a bad windstorm that night. I quickly tied a knot in the middle of the flag and proceeded to my car. I felt at the time that God wanted to promote unity in the hearts of the people of our nation. The tear metaphorically represented the division we feel every day. The knot however represented all the things we do agree on.
In these days of entrenched political and ideological divisions within the community of believers, it is important to point out who we are as a body called the Church. I am concerned that the Church is not embracing its uniqueness.
For the first time, after more than 35 thousand tweets, Twitter has locked my account. Why? Because I told the truth about radical Islam and I told the truth about the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria. How did this violate Twitter's guidelines?
Proverbs 11:3 tells us how critical integrity is. It says, "The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them." Lying seems to be the modus operandi of our politics. Some would argue it's always been that way, but it seems worse than ever nowadays.
The software's license gives the user the right to use the software in the licensed environment, and in the case of free software licenses , also grants other rights such as the right to make copies.
Proprietary software can be divided into two types:
Open source software

, granting the recipient the rights to modify and redistribute the software.
Software patents, like other types of patents, are theoretically supposed to give an inventor an exclusive, time-limited license for a detailed idea (e.g. an algorithm) on how to implement a piece of software, or a component of a piece of software. Ideas for useful things that software could do , and user requirements , are not supposed to be patentable, and concrete implementations (i.e. the actual software packages implementing the patent) are not supposed to be patentable either—the latter are already covered by copyright, generally automatically. So software patents are supposed to cover the middle area, between requirements and concrete implementation. In some countries, a requirement for the claimed invention to have an effect on the physical world may also be part of the requirements for a software patent to be held valid—although since all useful software has effects on the physical world, this requirement may be open to debate. Meanwhile, American copyright law was applied to various aspects of the writing of the software code. [5]
Software patents are controversial in the software industry with many people holding different views about them. One of the sources of controversy is that the aforementioned split between initial ideas and patent does not seem to be honored in practice by patent lawyers—for example the patent for Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), which purported to claim rights over any programming tool implementing the idea of AOP, howsoever implemented. Another source of controversy is the effect on innovation, with many distinguished experts and companies arguing that software is such a fast-moving field that software patents merely create vast additional litigation costs and risks, and actually retard innovation. In the case of debates about software patents outside the United States, the argument has been made that large American corporations and patent lawyers are likely to be the primary beneficiaries of allowing or continue to allow software patents.
Design and implementation of software varies depending on the complexity of the software. For instance, the design and creation of
Microsoft Word
took much more time than designing and developing

because the latter has much more basic functionality.

Joost van Bleiswijk
Co-evolution | 8
The exhibition Co-evolution shows eighty highlights of the first twelve years of the careers of the designers duo Kiki van Eijk and Joost van Bleiswijk. The objects vary from furniture, small utensils and ornamental objects, clocks and carpets to free work. Van Eijk and van Bleiswijk made the design of this exhibition themselves.
The exhibition took place from the 25th of May till the 18th of August 2013 at Het Noordbrabants Museum, 's-Hertogenbosch.
