When I say that BlackBerry® is used for business, I'm not only referring to the corporate tower sheathed in reflective glass with its soft carpets and mahogany board rooms. Industries like construction, field services, and law enforcement also make use of BlackBerry devices, and rely on them to get the job done in what can be hostile environments. In these scenarios, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the smartphones is important to factor in, especially concerning durability.
Over our social media conversations with #TeamBlackBerry, we've heard many great stories about how BlackBerry smartphones have pulled through in daring circumstances. Beyond the inherent durability and quality of materials used in designing BlackBerry smartphones, there are protective cases designed to further ruggedize your smartphone. This doesn't just protect your smartphone; it protects your investment and can reduce long-term costs.
Enter my friends at OtterBox! We've worked with the OtterBox team for many years, and we were able to catch up with them to explore how the work that they do extends beyond a simple case for your phone, and goes deep into providing core benefits for major industries. OtterBox cases can work to drive down the Total Cost of Ownership I mentioned above. Check out the video below for the full scoop:

A field naturalist wearing only panties and an ankle length blond wig rode a horse through downtown Vancouver Monday in a Lady Godiva-style protest against logging on Saltspring Island.
Briony Penn, five more bare-breasted women and another 30-odd demonstrators became a traffic-stopping sight for more than an hour as they circled the city block around the Howe Street offices of Texada Land Corp. four times.
Penn said their action was the result of desperation.
"We've tried everything to raise awareness about endangered ecosystems, but they won't listen to the scientists and they won't listen to the people," said Penn, 40, who has a doctorate in geography.
"So we're exploiting the media, taking our clothes off. And look at all of you."
More than a dozen television camera operators, newspaper photographers and reporters encircled the 40-year-old woman on the horse.
"I've got a PhD and no one listens," she declared. "I take my clothes off, and here you all are. So thank you."
Now I know what my NDP friends would say, a real progressive wouldn't have worn panties ;)

HL index (beta)
HL index is an indicator of the quality of a project, which is calculated by our system for evaluating the execution and the entire work of the project as a whole. This indicator is influenced by technical characteristics, our personal opinion, as well as dynamic parameters, such as popularity, advertising campaign, development, investor attitude, etc. Therefore, this indicator may change over time.
The purpose of developing this indicator is primarily to help newcomers, with its help we will try to warn you against elementary mistakes. As well as the index will be used as an additional tool for sorting projects.
The purpose of developing this indicator is primarily to help newcomers, with its help we will try to warn you against elementary mistakes. As well as the index will be used as an additional tool for sorting projects.
How to use
The index has a value from 0 to 10 points:
This is the highest risk! Here are projects that are known will not give any profit, just refrain even from viewing these projects.
In this range, things are a little better. The lower limit is likely to be represented by projects with a weak technical part and with overvalued interest rates, but in some cases giving a profit. The rest of the range will be presented by projects with poor preparation, but showing work and projects that have good preparation, but due to the short period of work or lack of development and advertising, have not yet moved into the next range.
It is not recommended to invest in this category without possessing additional information and experience, as well as the amount of more than the minimum. Not a rare case is the blocking of accounts with relatively large amounts.
In this range, projects have gathered, with good or even excellent preparation, but recently launched or projects that already show good results and development. In any case, it is possible to look narrowly at projects of this category.
In this range are projects worthy of attention. Here are presented long-running projects, with an impeccable reputation, and new ones, but with the best performance and an extensive advertising campaign. Remember, that aggressive advertising at the start of the project can lead to a fast scam.
Always remember that this index is not a panacea, it is only an auxiliary analysis tool that does not guarantee 100% of the profits and safety of your funds in a particular project.
All projects that have the status "Not paying" are assigned an index equal to 0.
At this stage, this indicator is in beta testing, if you find a mistake or it seems to you that the indicator is not true, please write to email@example.com
Tracking PerfectMoney Accounts
Often, project admins use the same PerfectMoney account for their projects, changing only the number of the wallet itself. Our system allows you to track such projects.For billing information, it can take up to 24 hours from the moment the project itself is published on our website. Periodically check the projects of interest for new updates.
At this stage, the system is in beta testing, if you find a bug, please write to firstname.lastname@example.com
Trust of Monitoring/Blog
Trust reflects how high quality this or that monitoring service is currently working. It is calculated on the basis of many indicators, the main of which are:
- Activity and reaction, that is, how quickly the service responds to changes in the status of an investment project.
- The quality of the projects that the service takes on monitoring.
- Complaints from administrators of investment projects and users.
A score of more than 1 point is already considered acceptable.
At this stage, this indicator is at the beta testing stage, if you find a mistake or it seems to you that the indicator is not true, please write to email@example.com

I must have really had something against Crazy8's back then, or maybe he was on my ignore list. I noticed that i didnt reply to anything he said. What happened to Akamu and ABCD? Akamu was a key part of TeamSTarbury and ABCD was hilarious...one of the top 3 funniest posters in knicksonline history.
Toons was hilarious too, although i never agreed with him much i didnt care after a while. I dont think Toons likes me to this day but its cool with me, i wouldnt mind at all if he posted more. I'd imagine him being a short and very angry man in real life

So who's going to do the game threads Crazy signed up for? Will somebody please think about the game threads
The starbury wars were a dark time around here in my opinion. My work productivity was at an all time low thanks to the amount of energy and time I spent on here blasting him. Remember Marvel's Civil War story? That was basically what those times reminded me. I think we lost a lot of posters but a lot of new ones came at that time also
I just read the whole thread, and that's by far the best thread on this forum's history.
Everyone shined and had strong post in that thread, not really a winner, but everyone made their points, posted articles, quotes, links, MSGKnicks with the awesome pics. It had everything you needed.
LMAO @ Trillion.
Dude, I remember my ex was blowing me and I was posting in my the forums and she read over what Trillion was saying to me. She decided to register as Ms Metrocards
I'm in tears right now.
What's funny is that I have an order of protection against her, she tried claiming she was pregnant, tried suicide because I wouldnt give her my FB password and threaten to kill some female friends of mines and did a lot of other crazy ****.

Drivers preparing for first round of highway projects
Highway dept. prepares for lane closures on Interstate 540
The Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department said a stretch of Interstate 540 in Fort Smith will experience some road work in the coming days.
The roadwork, the highway dept. said, could cause lane closures in both directions.
One driver says he's worried about the possible delays.
"I just hate the fact that they like to log jam the traffic all the time. It always seems like when they do something it backs it up for miles on end and makes it a hassle to get from one place to the other," said Troy Halsey, a driver who depends on I-540 to get to work.
The road work is expected to begin on Tuesday, January 22.MAP: I-540 Jan. 22 planned road maintenance
Maintenance work will start from the Arkansas - Oklahoma state line to Arkansas State Highway 45 (Old Greenwood Rd.)
The highway dept. said their crews will be making repairs to the roadway and bridges on I-540.
Drivers said you need to watch out and stay safe when people are out working in the roads.
"You got to watch for the workers and all the other cars out there so -- yeah, you got to pay more attention while driving," said Halsey.
The highway dept. said this is not the $78.8-million project that goes from Rogers Ave. to Interstate 40.
That I-540 project is expected to begin on January 28.

Tinolang Baboy is one of the easiest Filipino soup to prefer. Highly recommended for beginners into cooking Filipino Cuisine. This is something you should try if you wanna impress somebody who never knew you can cook. It is a one dish meal, it is a Soup, a Main course and a Vegetable dish all in one. In most Pinoy homes, all we need for lunch is a soup like this and a lot of hot Steamed Rice.
I grew up with the Tagalog version of Pork Tinola without adding Lemongrass into it. And then, I got married to a drop-dead georgeous Dabawenya{Davao City has a lot of beauty and it's quite peaceful too.} which means Lemongrass will always be a part of our Soup and Roasting till death do us part. But honestly, after I tasted it I instantly love the aroma and taste of Lemongrass in our soup.
So expect more recipe of Soup with Lemongrass in it.
Now on with the cooking…
Pork Tinola with Lemongrass
Prep. time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 60 minutes
Difficulty: Very Easy
Makes; 5 liter clear pork soup
Good for 12 crew
You will need;
1 kg. pork belly, cut into chunks {pork ribs, shoulder or neck is also a good choice.}
100 grms. (2thumbsize) ginger, sliced or julienned
3 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
100 grms onion, coarsely chopped
2 Tbsp. cooking oil
2 stalks of fresh lemongrass{TANGLAD}, pounded and tied.
2 Tbsp. fish sauce{PATIS)
4 ltrs. rice washing or water
1 large (250grms.) chayote or green unripe papaya, peeled and cut into chunks
3 pcs. green/red long chilli, whole
Season with salt to taste.
a bunch of green leafy vegetables{PETCHAY, chinese cabbage or lettuce}
Heat oil on a large 5 liters capacity soup pot. Sweat ginger, garlic and onion in hot oil. Add the pork belly and lemongrass, stir until the pork change in color. Pour-in the fish sauce. Cover with lid for a minute to let the flavour to sip in. Pour-in the rice washing or water, bring it back to a boil. Use a soup laddle to scoop out white scum on the soup surface. Cover pot with lid and simmer until pork is tender, about 45 minutes. Discard lemongrass. Add the chayote and green/red long chillies, let it simmer until chayote is tender. Season with salt to taste. Lastly, add some green leafy vegetables.
Pork Tinola is great to serve with hot Steamed Rice.
Enjoy your meal 😉
Here's how I do it;
Pork Tinola is great to serve with hot Steamed Rice.

Super Micro fattens up Xeon E5 nodes with FatTwins
Crammed with fat memory or fat disk – you pick
The chassis is the new rack, at least for customers who want cheap server nodes and none of that fancy schmancy management software that comes in blade servers, but who do want the density and shared power.
So Super Micro, an early maker of half-width motherboards that allowed servers to be double- and quadruple-stuffed with its Twin machines, is now coming out with a beefier generation of machines known as the FatTwins.
True to their name, the FatTwin chassis have more heavily configured server nodes, but they do not offer any server node density advantages over the earlier Twin2 machines announced back in September 2009. Those machines could cram four half-width servers into a 2U chassis, and the FatTwin can do eight half-width nodes in a 4U chassis.
The difference with the FatTwin design is that it is made to accommodate higher nodes with bigger SATA disks, and the machines have more compute power and more main memory as well; you can put four of these in the 4U chassis.
The fattest server nodes in the FatTwin have as much memory and storage capacity as you see crammed into a 2U server with only two-socket one server node, and that is the relevant comparison and this still yields a 2X density improvement over those generic rack servers. Which, by the way, Super Micro makes mobos for and which Super Micro will sell you itself if density is not an issue that you are willing to pay a premium for.
Super Micro's 8-node FatTwin server
The initial FatTwin machines are based on Intel's Xeon E5-2600 processors, but it stands to reason that Super Micro will offer variants using Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron 4200 and 6200 processors and very likely the cheaper Xeon E5-2400 processors as well at some point.
The SYS-F617R2-R is the FatTwin machine that uses the thinnest of the nodes and that can put up to eight in the FatTwin chassis. The nodes themselves are hot-pluggable into the power supplies that feed them, and you can take one node out without disturbing the others as they run.
The chassis has four 1,620 watt power supplies rated at 94 per cent efficiency, which is a serious upgrade over the Twin2 machines. Each node has two E5-2600 processors and 16 memory slots, for a maximum of 512GB total if you want to shell out the bucks for 32GB memory sticks. You can also run that memory at 1.6GHz when the machine is fully loaded with the heavy sticks, by the way.
The mobo has two PCI-Express 3.0 slots: one low-profile x16 slot on a riser card and one micro-low-profile x8 slot. It has two Gigabit Ethernet ports and an optional SAS2 LSI 2208 RAID disk controller that can snap into the board that supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, and 99. (OK, there is no RAID 99, I just made that up.)
Each node has six 2.5-inch hot swap bays for SAS or SATA drives. With the earlier Twin machines, there were six drives shared across four nodes, and the balance was all off. The balance is still not perfect for all workloads – Hadoop likes to have one big ol' fat 3TB drive per CPU core these days – but it is a lot better.
If you like big, fat, juicy, and cheap SATA drives, then the SYS-F627R3-F version of the FatTwin. This one puts four two-socket server nodes that are twice as high (2U high, in fact) as the ones above into the machine.
Super Micro's 4-node FatTwin server
The fattest FatTwin has four 1280 watt power supplies, rated at 95 per cent efficiency, and the taller nodes mean you can shift to fatter and cheaper 3.5-inch SATA disks, of which each node can have eight drives – six in the front and two in the back.
So if you go with the cheap four-core Xeon E5s, you can make a credible case for these fatter nodes of the Fatties to be used for Hadoopery. These nodes also have an optional LSI 2308 disk controller for SAS drives with RAID 0, 1, and 10 support.
The fat-disk variants of the FatTwin server nodes only support half as many memory slots, at eight, and therefore only up to 256GB of total memory using 32GB sticks. There's also no room for any peripheral expansion excepting one PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot on the riser card. There is a two-port Gigabit Ethernet NIC on the mobo for networking.
With either node type, you can put in a faster Ethernet or InfiniBand network adapter if Gigabit Ethernet is cramping your code. In this case, Super Micro is favoring the switch-hitting ConnectX-3 FDR InfiniBand/10GE adapters from Mellanox Technologies.
The FatTwin nodes slide in from the front and have the disks mounted in the nodes rather than in the chassis, and that helps make the system admin's life easier and also allows the nodes to be hot plugable individually.
On last thing: These FatTwin machines are certified to run at anywhere from 0 to 47 degrees Celsius, which means you can use outside air cooling – a key thing for modern hyperscale data centers and HPC centers which are tired of running up the electric bills.
Pricing on the new FatTwin machines has not been set yet. Super Micro tells El Reg that production of the FatTwins is ramping up now, and that shipments will begin in mid-July. ®

Install or update Android Studio to its latest version.
Make sure that your project meets these requirements:
- Targets API level 16 (Jelly Bean) or later
- Uses Gradle 4.1 or later
- Uses
Jetpack (AndroidX),
which includes meeting these version requirements:
com.android.tools.build:gradlev3.2.1 or later
compileSdkVersion28 or later
Set up a physical device or use an emulator to run your app.
Emulators must use an emulator image with Google Play.
Sign into Firebase using your Google account.
If you don't already have an Android project and just want to try out a Firebase product, you can download one of our quickstart samples.
You can connect your Android app to Firebase using one of the following options:
- Option 1: (recommended) Use the Firebase console setup workflow.
- Option 2: Use the Android Studio Firebase Assistant (requires additional configuration).
Option 1: Add Firebase using the Firebase console
Adding Firebase to your app involves tasks both in the Firebase console and in your open Android project (for example, you download Firebase config files from the console, then move them into your Android project).
Step 1: Create a Firebase project
Before you can add Firebase to your Android app, you need to create a Firebase project to connect to your Android app. Visit Understand Firebase Projects to learn more about Firebase projects.
Create a Firebase project
In the Firebase console, click Add project, then select or enter a Project name.
If you have an existing Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project, you can select the project from the dropdown menu to add Firebase resources to that project.
(Optional) If you are creating a new project, you can edit the Project ID.
Firebase automatically assigns a unique ID to your Firebase project. Visit Understand Firebase Projects to learn about how Firebase uses the project ID.
Click Continue.
(Optional) Set up Google Analytics for your project, which enables you to have an optimal experience using any of the following Firebase products:
When prompted, select to use an existing Google Analytics account or to create a new account.
If you choose to create a new account, select your Analytics reporting location, then accept the data sharing settings and Google Analytics terms for your project.
Click Create project (or Add Firebase, if you're using an existing GCP project).
Firebase automatically provisions resources for your Firebase project. When the process completes, you'll be taken to the overview page for your Firebase project in the Firebase console.
Step 2: Register your app with Firebase
After you have a Firebase project, you can add your Android app to it.
Visit Understand Firebase Projects to learn more about best practices and considerations for adding apps to a Firebase project, including how to handle multiple build variants.
Go to the Firebase console.
In the center of the project overview page, click the Android icon () to launch the setup workflow.
If you've already added an app to your Firebase project, click Add app to display the platform options.
Enter your app's package name in the Android package name field.
What's a package name, and where do you find it?
A package name uniquely identifies your app on the device and in the Google Play Store.
A package name is often referred to as an application ID.
Find your app's package name in your module (app-level) Gradle file, usually
app/build.gradle(example package name:
(Optional) Enter other app information: App nickname and Debug signing certificate SHA-1.
How are the App nickname and the Debug signing certificate SHA-1 used within Firebase?
App nickname: An internal, convenience identifier that is only visible to you in the Firebase console
Debug signing certificate SHA-1: A SHA-1 hash is required by Firebase Authentication (when using Google Sign In or phone number sign in) and Firebase Dynamic Links.
Click Register app.
Step 3: Add a Firebase configuration file
Add the Firebase Android configuration file to your app:
Click Download google-services.json to obtain your Firebase Android config file (
Move your config file into the module (app-level) directory of your app.
What do you need to know about this config file?
The Firebase config file contains unique, but non-secret identifiers for your project. To learn more about this config file, visit Understand Firebase Projects.
You can download your Firebase config file again at any time.
Make sure the config file name is not appended with additional characters, like
To enable Firebase products in your app, add the google-services plugin to your Gradle files.
In your root-level (project-level) Gradle file (
build.gradle), add rules to include the Google Services Gradle plugin. Check that you have Google's Maven repository, as well.
buildscript { repositories { // Check that you have the following line (if not, add it): google() // Google's Maven repository } dependencies { // ... // Add the following line: classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3' // Google Services plugin } } allprojects { // ... repositories { // Check that you have the following line (if not, add it): google() // Google's Maven repository // ... } }
In your module (app-level) Gradle file (usually
app/build.gradle), apply the Google Services Gradle plugin:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application' // Add the following line: apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' // Google Services plugin android { // ... }
Step 4: Add Firebase SDKs to your app
To your module (app-level) Gradle file (usually
app/build.gradle), add the dependencies for the Firebase products that you want to use in your app.
You can add any of the supported Firebase products to your Android app.
Analytics enabled
dependencies { // ...
// Add the Firebase SDK for Google Analytics implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.2.2'
// Add the SDKs for any other Firebase products you want to use in your app // For example, to use Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:19.2.0' implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:21.4.0'
// Getting a "Could not find" error? Make sure that you've added // Google's Maven repository to your root-level build.gradle file }
Analytics not enabled
dependencies { // ...
// Add the SDKs for the Firebase products you want to use in your app // For example, to use Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:19.2.0' implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:21.4.0'
// Getting a "Could not find" error? Make sure that you've added // Google's Maven repository to your root-level build.gradle file }
Sync your app to ensure that all dependencies have the necessary versions.
If you added Analytics, run your app to send verification to Firebase that you've successfully integrated Firebase. Otherwise, you can skip the verification step.
Your device logs will display the Firebase verification that initialization is complete. If you ran your app on an emulator that has network access, the Firebase console notifies you that your app connection is complete.
That's it! You can skip ahead to the next steps.
Option 2: Add Firebase using the Firebase Assistant
The Firebase Assistant registers your app with a Firebase project and adds the necessary Firebase files and code to your Android project — all from within Android Studio.
Note that the recommended option to connect your app to Firebase is to use the Firebase console setup workflow.
Open your Android project in Android Studio.
Select Tools > Firebase to open the Assistant window.
Expand one of the listed Firebase products (for example, Analytics), then click the provided tutorial link (for example, Log an Analytics event).
Click Connect to Firebase to register your app with an existing or new Firebase project and to automatically add the necessary files and code to your Android project.
Check that your plugin and library versions are up-to-date:
In your root-level (project-level) Gradle file (
build.gradle), check that your Google Services plugin version is up-to-date (
In your module (app-level) Gradle file (usually
app/build.gradle), check that your Firebase Android library versions are up-to-date.
Sync your app to ensure that all dependencies have the necessary versions.
Configure your Analytics data sharing settings in the Firebase console Project settings.
Enabling the sharing of Analytics data with other Firebase products is required to use Firebase products like Firebase Predictions or Firebase A/B Testing.
Run your app to send verification to Firebase that you've successfully integrated Firebase.
Your device logs will display the Firebase verification that initialization is complete. If you ran your app on an emulator that has network access, the Firebase console notifies you that your app connection is complete.

Control library versioning with a Firebase Bill of Materials (BoM) (experimental)
For easier library version management, consider importing a Firebase Bill of Materials (BoM).
Add Firebase SDKs to your app using a Firebase BoM
Using the Bill of Materials (BoM) Gradle feature with Firebase, you can set the version of the Firebase platform as a whole. Each Firebase BoM version contains compatible versions of the Firebase libraries; review the release notes for the library versions mapped to specific BoM versions.
Updating to the latest BoM version updates all of the Firebase Android libraries to the latest versions available at the BoM's release.
To add Firebase SDKs to your app using a Firebase BoM:
- For Gradle 5.0 and later, BoM support is automatically enabled.
Set up your dependencies in your module Gradle file (usually
dependencies { // Import the platform implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:24.7.0') // When using a BoM, dependencies don't require a specified version // If you do specify a version, it overrides the library version specified in the BoM implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth' implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore' }
- For earlier versions of Gradle, you must
the BoM feature:
- Add
enableFeaturePreview('IMPROVED_POM_SUPPORT')to your
- Import the BoM like a normal library (without the
- Add
After you add
firebase-bom to your dependencies, you can declare
Firebase libraries without specifying their versions. When you want
to update Firebase library versions, you only need to update the Firebase BoM
Be aware of the following options for setting up your dependencies:
- Use a different version: If you want to use a different version of a
library than what's included in the BoM, specify the desired version in your library
dependency line. The specified library version overrides the version value contained
in the BoM. For example, if you want to use v18.0.0 of App Indexing rather than the BoM's
v19.1.0, set up your dependencies like so:
implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:24.7.0') implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:18.0.0'
- Use a specific product library: If a product offers alternative libraries (for
example, an alternative KTX library or legacy library), declare only one of the
library dependencies. For example, if you want to use Crashlytics in your app, declare
either the Firebase Crashlytics dependency or the legacy Fabric dependency:
implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:24.7.0') implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics'OR
implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:24.7.0') implementation 'com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics'

Big Island Grill, Kailua KonaMarch 23rd, 2013 by James
Looking for a place to grind in Kona? Skip the resorts and anywhere on Ali'i drive and head one street up to Big Island Grill. You won't find a loco moco like this anywhere nearby.
We got a super loco ($11.25). Choose 3 types of meat.
"Ok coming! My son loaded 'um up.", our waitress said with a smile. The family atmosphere in here really warmed up the place.
Isn't it lovely? *brief pause to take it all in*
Crispy chicken katsu, juicy tender roast pork, and a nicely grilled homemade burger patty topped with 2 eggs and thick tasty gravy. I don't think I've had all of my favorite things all on one plate before!
We also shared some banana pancakes ($7.25). These were light and moist. Bananas were sweet.
Come early. It was packed by 9am on a Saturday with a long wait list.

WIPO: Giving Computers For 'Patents' To North Korea And Iran Didn't Violate UN Sanctions... But We'll Stop Doing It
from the you-know,-just-because deptI still think that one of the craziest stories of the year was the news that the World Intellectual Property Organization, WIPO, was caught defying UN sanctions (despite being a part of the UN) and giving computer systems to both North Korea and Iran -- officially to help both set up a database of international patents. Of course, none of this makes any sense, considering that neither country has shown much, if any, interest in respecting foreign patents. However, both have shown quite a lot of interest in building nuclear bombs... for which they need computing power.
The whole thing should be seen as a massive scandal that calls into question the judgment of those at the top of WIPO -- but it doesn't seem to be fazing too many people. WIPO recently released a statement trying to play down the whole thing, while at the same time admitting that it was changing its policies and likely would stop handing computers over to such regimes based on promises that they'd be used to setup patent databases. In other words, while it won't do it again, leadership there doesn't seem particularly apologetic for its actions.
The provision of standard IT equipment to the IP offices of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the Islamic Republic of Iran that occurred in the preceding years, within the context of the Organization's business modernization program for IP Offices in developing countries, is being referred to the relevant UN Sanctions Committees for their information and guidance.It still amazes me that anyone at WIPO thought this was a good idea. The fact that they still refuse to admit doing anything wrong suggests they don't even realize how badly they were played by those governments.
The initial steps are being undertaken for a full external and independent review of the technical assistance provided to countries subject to UN sanctions.
A new internal instruction has been issued ending any provision of IT hardware in any of WIPO's technical assistance programs.
Either way, WIPO boss Francis Gurry did an interview with IP-Watch where he continues to downplay the seriousness of the issue, and also says he doesn't feel any compulsion to respond to the US's stated concerns about the program. He says that they stopped sending the program because of some "ambiguity."
"There's a relatively small number of countries who benefit from hardware as opposed to our complete software package," Gurry said. "And since certain member states perceive that there is some ambiguity in the use of standard IT equipment – printers, cartridges, PCs and servers – we think the only complete answer we can give because of their perception of ambiguity is to say, we no longer do that."Something about that statement reminds me of a particular Monty Python quote. Either way, it still seems like WIPO still doesn't understand why its actions are being questioned here.
"We can argue for hours and hours and hours about the legal interpretation, that it's only a few PCs, and so on," he said. "But if there's lingering doubt, let's eliminate it."

It's a sad state of affairs...
When your immediate reaction to a patent issue is "troll!".
And you're right.
Microsoft is suing Barnes & Noble, Invetec, and Foxconn International over alleged patent infringements by the Android-based Nook e-reader sold by Barnes & Noble. On monday, the software giant said that Android infringes on a number of its patents and that the trio must respect Microsoft's intellectual property rights. The …
"The patents cover ways of tabbing through various screens to find information, quickly surfing the web, and interacting with documents and e-books.'
So all things that are blatantly obvious to anyone who has used tabbed browers, surfed the web or made notes.
Aren't patents supposed to be *original* inventions which *aren't* obvious to anyone with experience in that field? Oh, of course, not in the USA...
Yet another reason the USPTO and global patent laws need to be harmonized to recognize simultaneous or near-simultaneous invention.
Even when an inventor creates something and wins a patent, if a new invention works around it and is not based on theft of and direct use of the first product's details, then let the better-selling, better-received product win.
Having said that, though, I don't know if B&N's suppliers, partners, or others involved had their hands in skullduggery or malfeasance...
These types of patents cannot generally be worked around, because they patent the entire concept of doing something, rather then the spacific method by which that something is done. This is why software patent are such an atrocity.
After taking a glance at the pattens listed by Mr. Muller, I highly doubt there is any corporate espionage or other malfeasance going on, These all look pretty non-novel and obvious to someone with even minor training in the art (which is not to say I expect the court to agree).
Google should take this case on behalf of these companies seeing as its them who ultimately suffer if Microsoft deters people from using Android (as its obviously trying to do). That would put a big thorn in Microsofts backside because they know Google would go the full way with the case and they certainly don't want that!
Pretty obvious, patent trolling relies on targets just paying up because it's cheaper than fighting. For larger companies the costs stay the same but the payout increases, above a threshold size it should become more cost effective to fight. Given the shocking quality of US issued patents it's a fair gamble perhaps 90% can be invalidated. Attack Google and winning could be at the cost of losing many of the patents at issue.
Don't forget, MSFT were involved enough in SCO's 'sue the deepest pockets' adventure to know how badly wrong that can go. They'll tax the smaller players.
One delicious possibility arises here, MSFT might end up forced to reveal the terms of any previous patent deal it made with HTC along the way. If it turns out HTC's WP7 support is being compelled that would be devastating for MSFT... ;)
The SCO lawsuit went right. Sitting on a relatively small pile of Microsoft investment, which I think Microsoft even got back, SCO frightened businesses away from using Linux for whole years, and it's still working today. For Microsoft, that's money very well not-spent.
went 'right' for a reason... they found a desperate proxy, run by a sue-happy cretin and hid in the shadows while the proxy committed very messy suicide. We can disagree about how 'right' it went beyond MSFT so far escaping any liability for the whole fraudulent affair.
This time they don't have a proxy to hide behind. It won't be so cheap or consequence free.
> Isn't this similar to the 'look and feel' thing that Apple had with Windows many years ago? It's not like someone stole the source code or did some reverse engineering, Deja vu
I don't see any similarities, whilst aggreeing to develop apps for the Apple, Microsoft cloned the Apple desktop. Apple sued, Microsofts defence was that Apple had borrowed heavly from work done at the Xerox the PARC research lab.
In this case a) Android, is a wholly independently developed platform and b) Microsoft is sueing down stream customers of Google. I thank you :)
The patents cover ways of tabbing through various screens to find information, quickly surfing the web, and interacting with documents and e-books.
I am sure that M$ has been totally innovative in that space, drawing on their long successful experience in designing touch tablets, so that they have plenty of hard-earned IP to protect that bottom feeders like Google & Apple would just love to copy.
@Patrick O'Reilly doesn't matter: you can also patent something just to cut competitors off from inventing something useful you don't want. E.g. if no one is allowed to make a faster browser than Microsofts' , IE9 will be the fastest browser in the world without needing to compete. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent_encumbrance_of_large_automotive_NiMH_batteries ("who killed the electric car").
A couple of points:
Microsoft is advertising this as a lawsuit against Android in general, when it in fact is particular to certain ebook reader interfaces. While I'm sure they have some basis for the lawsuit itself, the positioning of it as part of their greater anti-Android campaign is just more Microsoft FUD.
Remember SCO's "the hidden cost of Linux"? Now we have Microsoft's "the hidden cost of Android", and it's equally nonsense.
Secondly, Florian Mueller's name comes up again and again in these baseless Android attacks, and his motivations, financial and otherwise, remain very murky. Please, report the news (and this lawsuit is clearly news), but do it without treating him as a primary source or giving him more of a platform to stand on.
And as such he is being PAID to advocate particular opinions. It's less important to discover WHO is paying him (he refuses to disclose that) than to simply STOP treating him as a news source! Regardless of whether you agree with his opinions or not, by definition he is NOT objective.
That's because Google are cowards and can't even take responsibility for their own software. It's all done by them, don't even release the new versions as GPL until they very well feel so. No one would want Android without Google's closed apps either. Android would die the day Google left it.
To say they don't own it is just a fantasy to appease lawyers.
This way after its been found that Google has no creativity and had to copy Java, copy the Linux kernel and whatever's yet to come to get anything done, they'll just pass on the the problems to the Open HA and move on to their next beta project, probably involving how to spy on the color of your underwear.
This is just from the first patent in question;
"Remote retrieval and display management of electronic document with incorporated images
A browser remotely retrieves electronic documents from a remote computer network for viewing by a user. For enhancing responsiveness, the browser initially displays an electronic document without a background image so that the electronic document is initially displayed more quickly. The browser also prioritizes downloading of embedded images of the document by their incorporation in the currently visible portion of the electronic document. Further, the browser dynamically creates additional connections for retrieving resources incorporated into the electronic document from the remote computer network. "
So basically they have patented how web browsing works. Way to "innovate" M$, no, really, your lawyers must love you guys.
"A browser remotely retrieves electronic documents from a remote computer network for viewing by a user. For enhancing responsiveness, the browser initially displays an electronic document without a background image so that the electronic document is initially displayed more quickly. The browser also prioritizes downloading of embedded images of the document by their incorporation in the currently visible portion of the electronic document. Further, the browser dynamically creates additional connections for retrieving resources incorporated into the electronic document from the remote computer network. "
That's the summary of one of the patents. So download the important stuff first and then download the background and only get stuff that is on the screen.... and MS managed to patent that..... and this apparently:
"Described herein is a portable computer having a limited display area. An Internet or other hypermedia browser executes on the portable computer to load and display content in a content viewing area. During times when the browser is loading content, the browser displays a temporary, animated graphic element over the content viewing area. The graphic element is removed after the content is loaded, allowing unobstructed viewing of the loaded content. "
back in the CompuServe and Prodigy days of the BBS, a company created a multi-threaded BBS browser called Golden Compass which threaded the loading of images and text so that text showed up quick while the images continued to load so you got a faster browser. Years before MS rented their first web browser and then purchased it after the legal threat which ensued from that deal.
And in a surprise development, none of the patents would stand up to the slightest scrutiny by anyone with experience in computing:
US Patent No. 5,778,372: HTML
US Patent No. 6,339,780: progress bar
US Patent No. 5,889,522: just plain window controls
US Patent No. 6,891,551: selected area controls
US Patent No. 6,957,233: metadata dialog box and storage
The idea that this shite is Microsoft's "innovation" only flies if your definition of "innovation" is as low as Microsoft's generally is.
It's long past time to dump the patent system completely - it simply doesn't work and it never really made any sense even when it stayed near the original conception. Now that it basically covers ideas and ways of scratching your nose it's worse than worthless.
Would it be possible to achieve rapid results in reforming the patent system if USPTO was told that if they didn't start reviewing patents properly, then the whole system will be disbanded, all patents will be nullified and they'll all be out of a job.
That's all fine, except for how to measure them doing their job well. A good start would most likely be the number of patents revoked or successfully challenged and use some recent data to give them a benchmark. Give them 24 months, reviewing every 12 months thereafter.
Two things should then happen. The companies putting in crap patents for trolling will start to worry that their business will evaporate overnight if they submit rubbish patents that get challenged -- this should start to stem the tide at source. Next, the PTO people should have some more time... and they should use it to perform proper reviews in fear of their livelihoods.
The problem might be people wanting to submarine the patent system might try to get crap patents past with the promise of the system being disbanded. Is that such a bad outcome?
That all seems fair, right?
going after Foxcomm reminds me of SCO. They are a contract manufacturer and are hired to make the devices. Microsoft is spraying its law suit all over to scare people and businesses away from Android just like SCO was doing this( with Microsoft's help of funding ) to Linux.
the grenade because sometimes, they blow up on yourself if you don't get rid of it fast enough.
250 million US citizens
550 million people in the EU
1 billion Chinese
1 billion people in India
Only one of those in the list has something called "software patents". Or cares about patents in general. (Hint: it's the one with the smallest market).
Wanna guess where the current and future development and sales will be?

Feel free to edit the title to explain better what I am going to write here.
When I copy big files to a pen drive for example, the progress window shows an estimate that most of the time does not fail to show the real time and percent to finish, but there are cases where it says everything is finished and the progress window closes. I go to extract the pen drive and it says it is still in use. After checking the pen drive I see it is still copying the files but there is no progress window showing this.
It does not only happen with big files, it also happens with many small files. If I copy them, the progress bar might say 15 seconds for example and finish in that time, but the real time might be 1 minute and for the next 45 seconds I need to actually look at the light in the pen drive to see if there is real activity on it.
I do not want to know how to fix it since I have read how deep a fix for this could go. What I want to know is why does then the progress window show an estimate that does not correspond with the process of copying.
Is it dependent of the Cache in the external unit?
Is the file size and amount of file influence on the correct estimation. For example 1 file of 4 GB or 1000 files of 4 MB.
Is there configuration options that can change the behavior.
There are other questions similar to this like copying files to usb stick never finished but am more focus on the mechanics into why it would behave like this.

(To a student)
Dear Miss --
I have read about sixteen pages of your manuscript ... I suffered exactly the same treatment at the hands of my teachers who disliked me for my independence and passed over me when they wanted assistants ... keep your manuscript for your sons and daughters, in order that they may derive consolation from it and not give a damn for what their teachers tell them or think of them. ... There is too much education altogether.
The World as I See It, (New York, 1949), 21-22.
(Written in old age)
I have never belonged wholeheartedly to a country, a state, nor to a circle of friends, nor even to my own family.
When I was still a rather precocious young man, I already realized most vividly the futility of the hopes and aspirations that most men pursue throughout their lives.
Well-being and happiness never appeared to me as an absolute aim. I am even inclined to compare such moral aims to the ambitions of a pig.
Quoted in C P Snow, Variety of Men, (Harmondsworth 1969) 77.
The relativity principle in connection with the basic Maxwellian equations demands that the mass should be a direct measure of the energy contained in a body; light transfers mass. With radium there should be a noticeable diminution of mass. The idea is amusing and enticing; but whether the Almighty is laughing at it and is leading me up the garden path -- that I cannot know.
When I am judging a theory, I ask myself whether, if I were God, I would have arranged the world in such a way.
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
.. common sense is nothing more than a deposit of prejudices laid down in the mind before you reach eighteen.
Quoted in E T Bell, Mathematics: Queen and Servant of Science
Thus the partial differential equation entered theoretical physics as a handmaid, but has gradually become mistress.
The World as I See It
But the creative principle resides in mathematics. In a certain sense, therefore, I hold true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed.
Quoted in H R Pagels, The Cosmic Code
But there is another reason for the high repute of mathematics: it is mathematics that offers the exact natural sciences a certain measure of security which, withut mathematics, they could not attain.
Quoted in E T Bell Men of Mathematics
One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts.
Sidelights on Relativity
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
Sidelights on Relativity
How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought which is independent of experience, is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality? Is human reason, then, without experience, merely by taking thought, able to fathom the properties of real things?
Sidelights on Relativity
Mathematics are well and good but nature keeps dragging us around by the nose.
Quoted in A P French, Einstein: a Centenary Volume
Education is that which remains when one has forgotten everything learned in school.
Ideas and opinions (New York, 1954).
A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labours of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received.

For now, Google sits safely at the top, reigning as it has for many years as the most popular search engine. In August, people in the U.S. ran 66.9 percent of their search queries on Google, while Microsoft ranked a distant second with a 17.9 percent share, according to comScore. Yahoo, which uses Bing as its back-end engine, came in third with 11.4 percent.
But a new logo, a remade interface and improved search features signal "the beginning of a new, more modern era for Bing," wrote Lawrence Ripsher, Bing's user experiences general manager, in the blog post.
One of the main changes is the merging of two features -- Snapshot and Sidebar -- which were introduced last year. Snapshot provides factual, structured information about people, places and things, while Sidebar mines users' social media accounts to deliver relevant information posted by their contacts on sites like Twitter and Facebook.
"In our new design, we've combined these two sources of knowledge to provide people with all the supporting context they'll need for any given query," Ripsher wrote.
An entirely new feature is Page Zero, which attempts to resolve a query while the user is still typing it, by displaying links, information and actions on the fly before the first page of results appears.
"We think the time people will save using Page Zero instead of navigating a search results page will be significant," he wrote.
Also new is Pole Position, a set of links and answers displayed prominently and in a larger format at the top of the results page that appear when Bing is highly confident it understands a query's intent.
Examples of this scenario are when the search engine knows "someone wants images of a celebrity, is looking for a specific fact or needs a detailed view of the weather in a particular city," according to Ripsher.
Microsoft also enhanced the way Bing is rendered in a wide variety of devices and screen sizes. "Results should look as beautiful on a Surface or iPad as they do on a PC or phone," he wrote. This also includes incorporating touch-friendly interface controls and designs.
While some of the new features mirror things that the Google search engine already does, Bing offers a richer user interface and user experience, Sterling said. "And the social content integration into search is novel if not useful," he said.
Overall, at the interface level, Microsoft also revised a variety of elements, including fonts, spacing, color, visual patterns, the search box's design and the Bing logo. These changes attempt to convey the idea that Bing's scope now extends beyond the web, since its technology is now included in products as diverse as Xbox, Office and Windows Phone, according to Scott Erickson, a Microsoft senior director of brand and creative.
The goal was "to create a new visual identity that best reflected Bing as part of the Microsoft family," Erickson wrote in another blog post.
Sterling agreed that Bing has become an integral part of the broader Microsoft product ecosystem. "So it has considerable value for the company beyond directly competing with Google in search and paid search," he said.
People interested in learning more about the changes to Bing can go to the page Bing.com/explore/newbing.
It's not clear when the main Bing product will be upgraded with the new look and features.
Microsoft didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

(September 2, 2015) – The 2015-16 New York Red Bulls Academy season is underway and the U-18s, U-16s and U-14s all kicked off their seasons with victories on Saturday, Aug. 29 at the Red Bulls Training Facility in Whippany, N.J. New York Red Bulls U-18 (4) vs. PA Classics (2) The New York Red Bulls U-18 opened up the new USDA season with a home win against PA Classics, 4-2. Mason Toye opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a strong run and finish. However, the lead was short lived as PA Classics leveled the match two minutes later. The Red Bulls were then awarded a penalty kick when Ryan Mingachos was pushed from behind as he attempted to chest the ball down and shoot. Jared Gilbey dispatched the penalty kick to give the Red Bulls a 2-1 lead at the break. New York made a number of changes and started the second half on the front foot. Pierre Reedy, who was making his debut for the club, won the ball high and made a powerful run through to finish. Reedy nearly scored again with an exchange of passes with D'Andrea, with Marin at the edge of the penalty area. Marin played in Reedy who narrowly missed from the angle. The Red Bulls extended their lead with a good combination play between Callum Johnson and Barry Sharifi. Johnson played in Sharifi who showed technique and composure to lift the ball over the advancing goalkeeper. PA Classics would end the scoring in the 86th minute when they got a goal back, and Red Bulls U-18s claimed their first victory of the season. "I thought it was good to be able to play my first official game with the team," said Man of the Match Pierre Reedy. "It was for us to get the first win under our belts early on that way we can carry that mentality into our upcoming games. With that said there's a lot we can improve on going forward." The Red Bulls have two home games next weekend at Red Bulls Training Facility. The first game will be against Richmond United at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 5, followed by MLS rivals DC United on Sunday, Sept. 6, with kickoff also at 11 a.m. Man of the Match: Pierre Reedy Scoring Summary (Assist in parenthesis): NY: Mason Toye 20' PA Classics 22' NY: Jared Gilbey (PK) 32' NY: Pierre Reedy 46' NY: Barry Sharifi (Callum Johnson) 61' PA Classics 86' Lineup: Wojciech Gajda, Sean Teixeria, Mason Deeds, Kyle Perno (Cristian Martinez 75'), Kevin O'Toole, Ryan Mingachos, Jared Gilbey, Jeanpaul Marin (Callum Johnson 60'), Kyle Casey (Pierre Reedy 46'), Mason Toye (Rodrigo D'Andrea 46'), Barry Sharifi (Dantae Greer 65') Subs not used: Xavier Kennedy, Zaire Bartley New York Red Bulls U-16 (6) vs. PA Classics (1) The New York Red Bulls U-16 kicked off their season on Saturday with a win at home against the PA Classics, 6-1. The Red Bulls started strong, scoring 10 seconds into the game on a goal by Jack Valderabanno. New York continued to pressure the visitors, but after striking the post twice, PA Classics equalized off a long throw in at the 25 minute mark. The goal seemed to wake up New York, as they scored three goals from Zach Ryan, Omir Fernandez and Valderabanno to take a three-goal lead into halftime, 4-1. In the second half, Valderabanno earned a hat-trick and Ryan would score again as the Red Bulls U-16 earned its first victory of the season. Up next for the U-16s are two games on Labor Day weekend against Richmond United and D.C. United.

Watt scored his second goal of the game in the 17th minute, and completed his hat-trick in the 36th minute. Forward Dylan Sullivan scored in the 26th minute and Watt scored his fourth goal of the game in the 42nd minute as the Red Bulls took a 4-0 lead into halftime.

Oregon Ruling Is Unprecedented Victory for Gay Civil Rights
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk

(LOS ANGELES, December 10, 1998) -- Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund said Thursday that an Oregon appellate court decision ordering that employment benefits be given to both married and same-sex couples is historic, and has great potential to advance a big array of lesbian and gay civil rights in the state.
"The court said that the state discriminates against gay people when it uses marital status to determine which workers are entitled to government-controlled protections and benefits," said Lambda Legal Director Beatrice Dohrn. "This ruling should help us stop anti-gay discrimination in other contexts -- from family law to the right to make medical decisions for a partner who is incapacitated," she said.
"We now have an important new tool to challenge the state any time its use of marital status puts lesbians and gay men at a disadvantage," she said.
On December 9, the Court of Appeals of the State of Oregon ruled in Tanner v. Oregon Health Sciences University that extending important employment benefits like health coverage only to married state employees is unfair to lesbian and gay workers who cannot legally marry and violates the Oregon Constitution's "equal privileges and immunities" clause.
The case was brought by Christine Tanner and two other lesbian employees of Oregon Health Sciences University and their domestic partners. Lambda, the nation's oldest and largest gay legal organization, submitted a friend-of-the-court brief on their behalf.
Jennifer C. Pizer, managing attorney of Lambda's Western Regional Office and co-author of the brief, said, "This is an unprecedented victory for gay workers and one step toward addressing the many inequities lesbian and gay families suffer. Oregon's is the first court in the nation to rule that this kind of discrimination is unconstitutional under its state constitution."
In its 29-page opinion, the court ruled that a state law barring employment discrimination on the basis of sex also prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The court also found that because lesbians and gay men are a socially recognized group that has been the subject of adverse stereotyping or prejudice, they are members of a "suspect class" and thus entitled to the powerful heightened scrutiny standard under Oregon law when bringing forward claims of discrimination.
"These findings transform Oregon's protections from anti-gay workplace discrimination into some of the strongest in the nation," Pizer said.
Dohrn added, "The Court has recognized the vital protections and benefits denied to lesbian and gay families simply because we still cannot have the legal recognition that non-gay couples automatically get with the two words, 'I do.'"
Lambda's amicus brief was also co-authored by Lynn Nakamoto, an attorney with the Portland firm Markowitz, Herbold, Glade & Mehlhaf and a cooperating attorney of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon.

Fresh helmets won't hurt you
The points raised by Mr. Ballance and the Hook in the May 24 article on bike helmets ["More risk? Safety engineer slams proposed helmet law"] are not valid arguments against helmet usage. There is no debate that bike helmet use can prevent head injuries.
The risk factor cited by Mr. Ballance for helmets "digging in" and causing neck injuries is associated with an obsolete helmet design no longer manufactured or sold in the U.S. These "soft shell" helmets disappeared from the market when the research showing their dangers emerged and have been replaced with the "micro shell" design that largely eliminates the problem.
The claim that wearing helmets leads to riskier behavior is not supported by the evidence. The data showed that cyclists who wear helmets regularly were more fearful and rode more slowly when they rode without helmets. Well, duh.
People who wear helmets understand that helmets reduce risk of injury and realize that they are less at risk when they are wearing their helmets. If they are forced to ride without helmets, they will ride more slowly and cautiously than when they are riding with their helmets because they are scared to death that if they fall they could sustain a head injury. It doesn't mean that when they are wearing their helmets that they are riding at an unsafe speed or engaging in "risky" behavior.
The new under-14 helmet ordinance requires helmet use on public roads, places where Mr. Ballance would also argue for helmet use. The ordinance does not indicate required helmet usage in parks (e.g. Riverview Trail) or in your private driveway or yard.
Bottom line, wear a helmet anytime you get on a bike and you will be safer than without a helmet.

Thank you Ruth for your well-reasoned letter.
Wearing a helmet requires a rider to wear it properly -- position the front of the helmet just above the eyes, the straps should be snug but not tight and the straps should make a "Y" below the ears. If a helmet is involved in a crash, then it should be replaced. It's one and done.
Too often I have seen young riders with the helmet tilted back, exposing their foreheads or cocked to the side, both of which reduces protection.
Also, I see children wearing helmets, but not their parents. When I ask parents where their helmets are, I get the lamest excuses -- I forgot it: it doesn't fit; I don't need it. It only takes one unforeseen circumstance to cause a crash and a concussion for children and parents.
Parents, set a good example and wear your helmet too.
You say that the new micro shell design "largely eliminates the problem" of helmets digging in. Largely, but not totally. So you're saying Mr Ballance's concerns are still valid, as at least some of the problem remains, right?
You say "people who wear helmets" ride more slowly and cautiously when they remove the helmet, yet you say they (to paraphrase) don't ride in a more risky fashion when they wear the helmet. So what you mean is when they don their helmets, they just ride faster and less cautiously than when without. Right. Got it. I think.
You say that the "bottom line [is], wear a helmet anytime you get on a bike and you will be safer than without a helmet." Well, actually, you (and everyone) should be wearing their helmets whenever they aren't laying down, statistically speaking. According to the Brain Injury Association of America and the CDC, 595,000 people suffer a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) every year - by falling down! The BIAA says 10,000 TBI's come from motorcycles while there are 8,000 TBI's come from pedestrians every year! Oh, and car drivers suffer almost 200,000 TBI's every year. Who needs the helmets?
The problem is a matter of perceived risks. We all know about gravity and Newton's 3 laws of motion. Driving a motorcycle just looks risky. But when you fall down-go-boom, your head follows Newton's laws, and WHAM - TBI! But hey, walking isn't as loud or fast as that-there motorcycle-thingy, is it?
The other problem is: there aren't as many motorcyclists as there are car drivers, pedestrians and people who can't walk without falling down - so putting helmets on the heads of motorcycles has much less political repercussion.
Going after 10,000 TBI's and part of the 6,000 deaths from motorcycles every year and ignoring the remaining 1,700,000 TBI's coming from everything else is like planting a tree in your yard to combat environmental pollution when 130,000 acres of rain forest is being destroyed every day. But what the heck, if it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy-like... that's all that matters!
DUH! I done-did forgot to add the TBI stats for bicycles. Sorry!
The BIAA and CDC say 1,100 TBI's come from bicycles. That's almost 7,000 fewer than pedestrians, 9,000 fewer than motorcycles, 199,000 fewer than people in cars, and 594,000 less than people who just plain-old fall down.
And since I'm here, here's another scary fact everyone ignores: the National Center for Biotechnology Information (a division of the National Institutes of Health) says 2,177,888 fall off a ladder every year. Maybe we should mandate parachutes and safety nets be sold, and used, with every ladder. Sound right?
Terry, I don't want to be a statistic; I just want to be safe as a bicyclist. That's why I always wear a helmet. As a 11-year-old, I suffered a concussion and skull fracture that required emergency surgery and weeks of recovery following a non-bicycling incident. I don't want to experience that again.
Only you can prevent head damage.........

sex! semen is a natural cervical dialator! It helps your uterus to contract. Docs will tell you not to have sex if you are at risk of going into labor early. They say have at it, if you want to start labor. It worked both times for me! :-)
Let's Go >>
What are some ways to get labor started naturally?
I have not given birth, I'm an adoptive Mom, BUT my friends have had success with getting things started by going to the Mall and walking, walking, and walking. A whole day of walking around the Mall, and labor started the same or next day! Be careful not to eat everything in sight while you're there, 'cause you may end up throwing it all up when labor starts. (One friend ate a huge bag of Movie theatre Popcorn she got at the Mall, and it call came up on the ride home, when she went into labor that evening! Then there was the Big Mexican meal one ate at the Mall, that all came up when she got to the hospital.) Walking for hours at teh Mall is the trick though!

Silver: poor man's gold turning to fool's gold?
Silver bulls may be hoping that the metal's healthy first-quarter price rise is the first step back towards record highs. Not so fast.
Its advocates say silver, which occupies a middle ground between industrial metals like copper and investment vehicles like gold, can benefit both from the fledgling economic recovery that is lifting copper and from the investment that is driving gold.
But record-high mine supply and questions over demand have left a long shadow over silver's underlying fundamentals, while huge price volatility last year, when the metal crashed 35 percent in a matter of days on two occasions, has undermined its appeal to investors as a cheaper alternative to gold.

real events MALIN KUNDANG from indonesian

Posted in WikinutWritingTrue Stories
Malin Kundang's huge ship was wrecked. He was thrown by the wave out of his ship, and fell on a small island. Suddenly, his whole body turned into stone. He was punished for not admitting his own mother.***
real events MALIN KUNDANG from indonesian
Once upon a time, on the north coast of Sumatra lived a poor woman and his son. The boy was called Malin Kundang. They didn't earn much as fishing was their only source of income. Malin Kundang grew up as a skillful young boy. He always helps his mother to earn some money. However, as they were only fisherman's helper, they still lived in poverty. "Mother, what if I sail overseas?" asked Malin Kundang one day to his mother. Her mother didn't agree but Malin Kundang had made up his mind. "Mother, if I stay here, I'll always be a poor man. I want to be a successful person," urged Malin kundang. His mother wiped her tears, "If you really want to go, I can't stop you. I could only pray to God for you to gain success in life," said his mother wisely. "But, promise me, you'll come home."
In the next morning, Malin Kundang was ready to go. Three days ago, he met one of the successful ship's crew. Malin was offered to join him. "Take a good care of yourself, son," said Malin Kundang's mother as she gave him some food supplies. "Yes, Mother," Malin Kundang said. "You too have to take a good care of yourself. I'll keep in touch with you," he continued before kissing his mother's hand. Before Malin stepped onto the ship, Malin's mother hugged him tight as if she didn't want to let him go.
It had been three months since Malin Kundang left his mother. As his mother had predicted before, he hadn't contacted her yet. Every morning, she stood on the pier. She wished to see the ship that brought Malin kundang home. Every day and night, she prayed to the God for her son's safety. There was so much prayer that had been said due to her deep love for Malin Kundang. Even though it's been a year she had not heard any news from Malin Kundang, she kept waiting and praying for him.
After several years waiting without any news, Malin Kundang's mother was suddenly surprised by the arrival of a big ship in the pier where she usually stood to wait for her son. When the ship finally pulled over, Malin Kundang's mother saw a man who looked wealthy stepping down a ladder along with a beautiful woman. She could not be wrong. Her blurry eyes still easily recognized him. The man was Malin Kundang, her son.
Malin Kundang's mother quickly went to see her beloved son. "Malin, you're back, son!" said Malin Kundang's mother and without hesitation, she came running to hug Malin Kundang, "I miss you so much." But, Malin Kundang didn't show any respond. He was ashamed to admit his own mother in front of his beautiful wife. "You're not my Mother. I don't know you. My mother would never wear such ragged and ugly clothes," said Malin Kundang as he release his mother embrace.
Malin Kundang's mother take a step back, "Malin…You don't recognize me? I'm your mother!" she said sadly. Malin Kundang's face was as cold as ice. "Guard, take this old women out of here," Malin Kundang ordered his bodyguard. "Give her some money so she won't disturb me again!" Malin Kundang's mother cried as she was dragged by the bodyguard, "Malin... my son. Why do you treat your own mother like this?"
Malin Kundang ignored his mother and ordered the ship crews to set sail. Malin Kundang's mother sat alone in the pier. Her heart was so hurt, she cried and cried. "Dear God, if he isn't my son, please let him have a save journey. But if he is, I cursed him to become a stone," she prayed to the God.
In the quiet sea, suddenly the wind blew so hard and a thunderstorm came. Malin Kundang's huge ship was wrecked. He was thrown by the wave out of his ship, and fell on a small island. Suddenly, his whole body turned into stone. He was punished for not admitting his own mother.***

S.K. Day: Stop Wal-Mart whining
I wish people would stop whining about the new Wal-Mart store coming to Craig.
I have lived here my whole life and have seen major stores come and go. This town needs a Wal-Mart for two reasons. One is Craig is too high in prices. Second, there are hundreds of people who cannot make the commute to Steamboat or Rifle or even Utah to go shopping at Wal-Mart.
If these businesses were really for the people, then their prices would be more affordable. I say this because we live on my husband's disability, and I am a full-time student and a mother and grandmother.
Craig needs this Wal-Mart, if not for everyone, then the ones who cannot afford Craig prices. Do not stop the Wal-Mart. If anything, it will bring in more business to our town.
S.K. Day
