Again, I'm no fan of Ms. Sheff, but you picked a really bad example if you were trying to paint her in a bad light.
I didn't try to paint her in a bad light, I pointed out that she was no stranger to such things as she was plaintiff for in this proceding.
Clearly, beyond Ms. Bock, Ms. Sheff has a number of detractors who will not simply paint her in a poor light, but with a decidedly Snidely Whiplash theme.
Consider I watch most of my DVDs on a computer or device which employs an embeded one. If these DVDs don't work, people will return them and the market behviour will be self corrected.
Apparently Mrs. Sheff gets paid to refer people to specific schools... and it has been alleged in the past that she does so under false pretenses. If this is true, Mrs. Sheff is indeed the liar, con artist and crook the defendent claims she is. If it's true, it isn't libel.
This is where Ms. Bock should, rather than turn to the internet blogs to vent, gone to Child Welfare agencies in her state or Florida. Still, she could have reigned in her ire and posted objective transcript of what transpired to make her unhappy and kept it objective. Carelessly throwing around words has a way of biting one in the arse.
I'm currently in the midst of business transactions where vendors have been far less than on the up-and-up. How I choose to vent on their behaviour I take into consideration to be sure I am concrete with my statements and can back up the facts with letters, etc. Others deserve to know there are dubious people out there.
Come on people...the defendant called the plaintiff a crook, a con artist, and a fraud. If youare going to complain about someone's service, you can give specific complaints. Give evidence to back it up. But you can't make unsubstantiated allegations, which the defendant did.
"Stunning slap against free speech?" It was more like the spanking of a name calling toddler.
We had the tales of the notorious seaweed with, what petsworld or sommat, where the owner sued people who claimed his business sold defective goods on a pets forum. More harassment than anything. Anyway, Sheff and some Berryman have apperently a similar history of chatting down others on the internet. Do some googling on WWASP and PURE or find the other post I made under this article. There's probably fair chance Bock could have prevailed, had her side been told. All we have from TFA is 'crook', 'fraud', 'con artist' out of context. For all we know, PURE and Sheff did something which Bock considered patently unethical.
Today's Lesson: If you can sue someone in your home state, who can't even afford a lawyer and is out of reach due to natural disaster, you
too can win really big judgements!
So E360 wanted to get a "client hold" on the domain name, but ICANN refused, saying they don't have the authority to do so.
While this is actually very funny, I can't help but wonder if in some sick and twisted way this will further encourage the US congress to meddle in these affairs.
It would be normal, but the sick and twisted part would be doing this on behalf of e360. Kinda like Foley pushing a bill to protect children.
"I regret that some of the stock option problems identified by the Special Committee occurred on my watch,"
Well, regretting won't fix the problem, and neither will his ousting.
Translated: "I regret that this came to light while I was still around. Next time I hope to be out of the country before the federales find there was no actual pea in our exclusive executive shell game."
Seriously, what attracts people to these jobs? Money.
What do they try to get even more of than the large, by global standards, obscene salaries? Money.
What always irks me is these are often not the people who started the company, but some pinstripe variety of parasite which comes in, directs things around for maximum stock value and then gets out with as much lucre as they can get.
It's the way it is. Don't invest in companies which have overpaid CEOs and get your money if you have to work for one, get your money in your paycheck, not options.
It's called platelets. It was invented long ago. Thank goodness, or I would have died the first time my nose bled...
Platelets are fine for small wounds, but they don't do much for larger than a small cut. For external cuts I usually stick it together with a little superglue. I don't expect this will be over the counter though..
in case of massive fragging mix contents with one cup of tea and drink really fast!
Perhaps that's the true genius of it... The aliens will have to register with Macromedia to download the plug in and that's how we'll make alien contact! After that we'll defend ourselves against any hostiles with blasts of spam and junk faxes.
I highly doubt this 'time capsule' will reach anyone, but it is a neat idea.
No this is not neat>, this is just stupid. This is so incredibly stupid it's left me speechless... nearly:
So they're going to beam it into space via a laser from atop a ruin from a vanished civilisation. Are they going to rotate this
laser to maintain RA and DEC, to keep it as one continuos beam or will they just fire it straight up (for maximum theatric effect) and
thus have it whipped by the spin and orbit of the earth? Carl Sagan's record has a better chance. It's an opportunity for Yahoo to do something utterly useless to get
their name in the news, just like it now appears on Slashdot. Applause, applause. It certainly is fodder for some
comedy, maybe Mel Brooks will have someone in Spaceballs The Animated Series say, "what is that annoying glare?" while flipping down
their pair of Spaceballs The Sunglasses.
meanwhile, picked up in orbit, the stream is immediately recognised and decoded by a Zygorthean ship. After reviewing the contents, the focus down upon the
the pyramid of Teotihuacan and one says to another, "well, we certainly know what killed that civilisation!"
But they can tax it both directions. The customer has to have lasers to send respose packets and upload whatever it is they need to upload. They can tax bot the Tx and Rx parts!!
"Shut down error detection, shut down parity checking, shut down acknowledgements, shut down all outgoing light." - Memo from the PHB
I'm impressed, they see something coming out of it. I thought we observed black holes by what they did to matter and space (bending light) and radiation emissions.
Exactly how much closer is this black hole and do we need to start worrying about it, now...
Today, video games, tomorrow it's the same thing we do every night, Pinky: Try to take over the world!
Today the president said he is a poo-head and danced a little jig for reporters in the whitehouse press room. Meanwhile, Kim Jong Il has renounced leadership of North Korea and will take up his new profession as a Hollywood producer -- critics are not sure this is any kind of improvement in world affairs.
Even in nature, larger fruits and vegetables(of the same variety) generally less taste as their surgar production is spread out of the larger area. A good example I have is with tomatos. When water and sun are plentiful, they grow HUGE, but have virtually no taste. Now when you have just enough water to GROW the tomatos(not big, just grow), you will get tomatos that are about 75-50% of the size of thier "brothers" but all that sugar is stored in a much more compact area... and mmmm mmm good.
This was what we referred to as Stressing a plant. Once fruit has set and is approaching a good size, reduce the water to just enough to keep leaves from wilting. In the afternoon sun they may droop a bit, but don't worry. This stressing causes, as you say, a concentration of sugars, but is in effect reducing the amount of water stored in the fruit. I practiced this with my roma tomatoes and they were legendary goodness!
Mr. Oh said OilFresh will move beyond restaurants into food processing by the end of the month, when it delivers a 1,000-ton version of the device to a 'midsized potato chip company' that he said did not want to be identified. "
Well, there's a backhanded endorsement if ever I read one. What happened to that Olestra stuff? Safe, right? Oh, it gave people the trots and maybe was accused of other maladies. If you're Frito Lay, you're going to move cautiously on this one. Eh?
I'll take my food from the field any day over from the factory, thank you very much.
I'm all for engineering but when it comes to what I eat I'm very oldfashioned. No reconstituted, GM, reprocessed anything.
Me, too, but watch for those which are still raised in fields but have been bred for size and appearance. I've had enough of these damn foods which taste like cardboard. It isn't worth $3.00 for a basket of huge, red strawberries which don't have half the flavour of the little tiny ones which grow wild.
Also make sure nobody shits in your water source. This is where all this e. coli is coming from near San Juan Batista and Salinas. Evidently someone couldn't hold it to the porta-john.
I got into organic gardening years ago when I lived in Michigan. I joined a usenet group of UK gardeners, which had members from Michigan State University and Ohio State University Agriculture Extentions. Just spending the winter reading up on how simple it is, if you're smart enough, to scent mask your plants with flowers, how to properly till soil and not compact it with big clumsy feet, etc. I had a hugely successful 17' x 39' plot that year and most of my food for late spring and summer came from it including some astounding roma tomatoes.
That's because your body is mostly trying to keep your brain cool.
Yess.. but even while certifying for open water diving it was impressed upon us that most heat loss happens through the head, largely due to the high blood-flow to the brain and to the thinness of fat layers around the head. Also seems to have a greater density of pores than anywhere else on the body, perhaps for that reason alone.
But the amount of mechanical power you can get out of your muscles is limited by your ability to keep their operating temperature within spec. Dumping some of the heat from their surface lets them run at a (far) higher power level than if their cooling was entirely dependent on using the blood to carry the heat to some other heat sink.
I don't think you've done much long distance cycling. The legs lose heat very slowly, perhaps thanks to anscestors not wearing a lot of fur-lined trousers or such. More heat goes out through your lungs I think. Most of the excess heat generated by the large leg muscles, also doesn't seem to remain in the legs, so I believe it is carried away by circulated blood as it removes waste from the muscle cells. After a good hard ride on a hot day you can generally observe where you perspire most (which is the body's primary means of cooling itself) by the deposits of salts.
On long rides in air temperatures warming from early morning to mid day, leg warmers are the least uncomfortable, in terms of holding in heat. Arm warmers get peeled down quickly because arms tend to get hot quickly after you've warmed up. I refer to my upper arms as radiators.
If you're going to use a stationary bike for exercise, I strongly recommend a small fan blowing against your legs - especially the uppor portions, and that you wear shorts. Cooling the leg muscles greatly increases your power and endurance - far more than the power cost of the fan if you happen to be pedal-generating.
Hm.. It wasn't me legs that were pouring sweat, its my head mostly, but a bit from upper-body and arms. The pattern of drops on the floor after 45 minutes was concentrated below my chin. A sweatband won't help, once it is saturated. If you are doing this indoors, fan or no fan you will be heating up the room (it'll eventually smell like a gymnasium or locker room.) I don't think this is very realistic. Best to just go out and ride for an hour than clean up, have some decent non-fried food and then play your games.

Probably last until people in China start reading how their central government was made a fool by North Korea. Can't have that.

An $11,000,000 judgment against someone with no money is worthless.
In a "principle of the thing" exercise it does serve dire warning to anyone who feels compeled to follow in Bock's foot steps.
