Everyone wants to succeed, but few people achieve it because they're not willing to do the big scary thing. The only thing standing between you and success is the ability to do the big scary things. Listen to this episode to learn how to do them.
Welcome to Rich & Thin™ Radio, the only podcast that helps you get more bank with less bulk. Today's episode is for every listener who is struggling with that age old dilemma of going big or staying small. I'm Kelly Hollingsworth and if this is something you're wrestling with, I'm glad you're here because today we're going to talk about some tools for getting past it.
I'm thinking about big vs. small this week because I was working with a client who is poised on the brink of business success. We've developed her offer, and we wrote a compelling message that describes it. And now it's time to get out there and deliver the message. It's time to contact people and see if she can speak in front of their groups and organizations.
But she feels paralyzed. She feels terrified. Why? It's not because she's afraid the message won't land. We know it will, because when she tells people about what she's doing in casual conversation, they are effusive in their praise on what a great idea it is. New acquaintances are volunteering all the time to introduce her around so that more people can learn about it. People who hear about this are telling their that they need her and they want to hire her. You can always tell when something truly resonates vs. when you're just getting a polite response, and we know that her message is dialed in, so what's the problem?
She's at a very common place. It's one thing when the work is in our heads or it's happening in private. It feels contained then. It feels manageable. But when we think about actually taking the message out in front of others, that's when things start to get real. That's when it can start to feel too big and too scary, and that's when we often get stuck.
Whenever you're stuck, that's a sign you're in a coaching opportunity. At every stage of achieving a successful business, we must manage our minds around the thing that's tripping us up, around the next obstacle. When we're developing the offer, we have to manage our minds. When we're writing the message, we have to manage our minds. And when it's time to go out and deliver the message, we really must manage our minds because this is when we leave the theoretical and bring the business out into the real world. This is when things get real and it can feel like things are loom too large. It's when we begin stepping out of what we see as the smaller role, and into the bigger role.
What I want to offer to everyone who's feeling paralysis at this stage is to go and see the movie A Star is Born. The current, 2018 version. Not one of the prior films. This year's version stars Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, with Bradley Cooper also directing. In the movie, he plays Jackson Maine, an aging rock star who's swimming around in a bottle of booze. He's being chauffeured away from a concert of his one night when the bottle runs dry. He's desperate for more alcohol so he ducks into the nearest neighborhood watering hole to get it. It turns out to be a drag bar, and Lady Gaga is there. Her character is named Ally, and she's a waitress who's all but given up on her dream of becoming a singer/songwriter. She's been told that her songs are good, but her nose isn't right and she's not beautiful enough to perform for big audiences. So when we first encounter her in the film, her career is confined to singing once a week at this drag bar where she used to waitress, and Jackson Maine enters the bar just in time to be mesmerized by her performance of La Vie en Rose, which is a French song about a woman who finds new love after going through a trying time.
The two of them collide in a cataclysm of chemistry and artistry. The energy between them just crackles in this film, and if you see no other movie for the rest of your life, go see this one. It's pure art. I saw it this weekend and when it was over, everyone in the theater just sat there in the dark. We were silent, motionless, just watching the credits roll. I don't think anyone even knew what to do, until finally one man in the audience swore out loud, so loud everyone in the theater could all hear it. He said something that I won't repeat on the podcast, but he was basically conveying, Wow, that was amazing, and everyone else started laughing and applauding. It is such a powerful film, for I think everyone who sees it, but I think it's an especially powerful film for entrepreneurs who are struggling with the mental debate of going big vs. staying small.
One scene I'd suggest for all struggling entrepreneurs to pay particular attention to is the one where Ally is standing backstage at one of Jackson's concerts. They've just met, and he's performing to thousands of screaming fans, and then, completely without her knowledge or permission, he announces to the audience that she's going to come out and sing one of the songs that she wrote. Initially she refuses, so he goes out on stage and sings the first verse by himself, and as he's singing, we see her backstage wrestling with the decision: should I stand here and stay small, or should I go out there and embrace big?
This is a movie, so of course she joins him on stage just in time to sing her part. If she didn't step out on stage, there would be no movie, because there would be no story. Why? Because there would be no decision to do the heroic thing, and every story has that decision, the decision to do the thing that most other people would find too big and too scary to actually do. They might wish for it. They might talk about doing it. But when push comes to shove, they won't actually step out from the old and into the new.
In screenplay parlance, we call the moment of this decision "the point of no return." It's the moment when the hero crosses a threshold and steps into a new world, into what we view as a bigger role, and it's an essential part of the hero's journey in every story, in every movie. The point of no return in the movie The Blind Side, for example, is when Michael Oher crosses beneath the gates of Wingate School where he embarks on the education that sets him up for his NFL career. In the Godfather, the threshold is when Michael Corleone, who previously sat on the sidelines and didn't participate in the "family business," kills a rival who put out a hit on his father, and the police chief who was protecting that rival. In Legally Blonde, it's when Elle Woods drives across the bridge to arrive at Harvard Law School.
If you look, you'll see this "crossing of a threshold" in every movie, and I think it's a good idea to look for this in fiction, because I think that watching it on the screen helps us get comfortable with doing it in real life.
How does it help? I think it helps because we notice a few things about what's really going on in these scenes. We can glean things from them that can help us in real life.
So now let's look at exactly why the heroic thing feels heroic and how you can put these moments to work in your own life.
Consider the scene when Ally, Lady Gaga's character in A Star is Born, steps out on stage to sing the song she wrote with Jackson Maine. It feels like a big moment. It feels like a heroic triumph over fear that few of us would dare to .do. It feels huge. But exactly what is so big about it?
It's not the action that she takes. When you watch it, you see her walking up to the mic. Singing words that she knows she can sing. She wrote the words, for Pete's sake. She's doing something that she can do in her sleep. On so many levels, what she's doing on stage in that scene, after crossing the big scary threshold, is no different than what she was doing in the drag bar. It's a performance that she's totally capable of delivering. So it's not the actions. That's not the heroic part.
It's not the circumstances either. It's no longer a performance in the small bar that's occupied by her friends. This is a giant stadium filled with strangers. But what do we know about circumstances? They're neutral. She feels comfortable in the small bar and scared in the stadium, but others might feel differently. Some might feel mortified to perform in a tiny venue because they think it's too intimate. For them, a nameless, faceless crowd might feel a lot better. It's all about the thoughts you think. It's the meaning that a person attaches to the circumstance that determines if an action will feel too big to take, or if it will feel like something they can totally do. My client who's struggling this week can talk about her business all day long, if it comes up in casual conversation. But if she sets out to have that conversation, if she deliberately tries to steer that conversation into a discussion about her business, then the discussion means something else entirely. That's when it feels too big.
So the first thing to notice here is that big and small are mental constructs. Our brains are meaning-making machines, and if something feels too big, if a step feels too huge to take or even contemplate, it's because of the meaning we're attaching to it in our minds. Even the step out onto the moon was just one step. It felt huge when Neil Armstrong took it, but that's because of what we were thinking about it.
So if it's not the circumstance, and I can promise you, it never is, what is it, exactly, that makes a moment feel heroic? Is it the result? When Ally stepped out on stage and sang the song with Jackson, the crowd went wild. Is this response what made it heroic? No. We see movies all the time where the hero doesn't get the intended result. A failed hero is someone who is swallowed by overwhelming force, but they are no less a hero when they do something heroic.
So exactly what is the heroic thing? What makes something heroic? It's the inner shift, my friends. The step feels big because the hero is stepping into a new type of wisdom. If you do your mental work and that enables you to do something you've never done before, we just witnessed an act of heroics, because now you're wise about something other people don't know. They want to do it, but they don't know how, and they admire when you do it. We love to see these acts of heroism. Why? Because that inner shift that allows the hero to do what previously felt too big, too scary, is what moves us forward as a species. Human growth on a micro level, person by person, is how we get big improvements for the human race on a macro level.
So now let's talk about 3 tools that can help you achieve these heroic inner shifts, so you can start doing things that few others would dare to do, but that everyone wants to do.
The first tool is deconstructing the circumstance. When something feels too big, it's because you've built it up in your mind. If you want it to feel smaller, more manageable, tear it down to its essential activities. If you're Ally on stage with Jackson Maine, all you're doing is approaching a microphone and singing a song. You've done it a million times. If you're my client who's seeking places to deliver your keynote presentation, all you're doing is speaking words about your business to someone who is hearing those words and speaking words back. Viewed in this way, it's very much like ordering takeout from an unfamiliar restaurant. You might have a strange interaction, but if you do, all you have to do is call someone else.
This is what you do when something feels too big. Make it smaller, by removing the meaning you're attaching to it and just focusing on the essential actions of it.
The second tool I have for you today is to redefine the risk. I wish that in film we didn't call these big moments, or rather, these moments that "feel" big, the point of no return, because that makes them seem risky when often they are not. Occasionally you'll see a movie where to take the beach, the army decides to burn their boats. In those situations, there really is no going back, and that's a true risk.
But mostly, there's no real risk in the moments we perceive as fraught with peril, because even though the moment feels scary, you can always go back. You're not jumping off a building where things can permanently change for you. In most or almost all cases, nothing permanently changes when we try for the thing that feels big, because the boat-burning situations are rare. We can always go back. Even if we can't go back to the identical place we were in before, we can always find a similar replacement that's basically the same. There's always another crappy job. Another substandard relationship. Another opportunity to do the thing that isn't really our dream.
Here, what I'd like to offer is that if the worst thing that can happen is a feeling, you haven't encountered a risk. All you have encountered is an opportunity to manage your mind. We've talked about this before, but it's worth going over again. If Ally sings or if my client asks to make a presentation, and either of them are rejected, all that means is that someone said no. We can make that mean everything, or we can make it mean nothing.
The truth is that we hear no all the time. We can ask in a restaurant, "Do you have cherry pie?" Answer: no. It's no big deal because we don't make it mean anything. We can ask a friend, "Do you want to go see A Star is Born with me for the third time this week?" If the answer: "No." I can make that mean that my friend is busy, or I can make it meant that they think I'm nuts. The meaning I attach to it, the thoughts I think about, determines if I will experience the rejection as painful or as something else.
And similarly, if we're trying for something in our business, if we're Ally stepping out on stage or if we're my client asking for an opportunity to deliver her keynote, we can make a no mean something negative about us, or we can make it mean that they just don't need the thing that we're offering, or that we need to sharpen or improve the message.
So that's the second tool for this week. Remove the risk from a step that you're contemplating taking, remove the risk that isn't really there, and it will feel smaller and easier to take.
This is such a common question, and as you move forward with your big goals you're going to encounter it.
When you're about to step into something that feels scary-big and you're confronted with this question, answer it. I don't care who's asking. It can be your mother, God, the universe, or a voice inside your own head. When you hear the question, "who do you think you are?" Just answer. Sometimes when I sit down to record the podcast, I hear this question, "Who do you think you are?" And for a second I feel pretty terrible, and then I just answer the question. The answer I give is, "I'm the person who's recording the podcast." And then I feel better. It seems silly, but it really works.
So I hope you try these things. When something feels too big, too risky, too scary to do or even to contemplate, deconstruct it. Remove the risk. And decide that you're the person who does these things.
This is the way you become a rock star in your own life, my friends. I promise, it will help if you give it a go. I want to thank you for joining me today. It's been fun having you here, and I look forward to talking with you next time.

College basketball or football: which is better?
Kyle Guy nervously awaiting his three free throws that would lead Virginia to victory over Auburn, sending them to the finals in Minneapolis.
Another year of the madness of college basketball has come and gone. One year after becoming the first one-seed team to lose in the first round, the University of Virginia men's basketball team avenged their loss and cut down the nets in Minneapolis.
The first matchup of the 2019 Final Four took place on Saturday between Auburn and UVA. After a tightly contested first half, Auburn came out up 31-28. After such a solid run, however, Virginia began dominating the pace of the game, shutting down Auburn on defense, and securing a double digit lead with under five minutes to play. This lead did not last long, as Auburn made a valiant comeback and took a four point lead with 17 seconds to go. After a clutch three pointer by senior guard Kyle Guy, and a free throw from Jared Harper of Auburn, the Tigers lead 62-60 with seven seconds to go. The ball was inbounded to junior guard Ty Jerome, who was fouled by an Auburn player with 1.5 seconds on the clock. With only enough time for a catch and shoot, Virginia inbounded the ball to Guy, one of the best shooters in the nation. Guy immediately pulled up for a three in the left corner and was undercut on his jump, resulting in an Auburn shooting foul. With just 0.6 seconds on the clock, Guy knocked down all three free throws. Virginia won 63-62, reaching their first national championship berth.
After a reluctant win for Virginia came the Michigan State vs. Texas Tech matchup. Both teams wore their hearts on their sleeves from the tip-off, scrapping for loose balls and rebounds, resulting in a 23-21 halftime score. Despite a low-scoring first half, Texas Tech exploded in the second half, with an incredible display of shooting by senior guard Matt Mooney, notching a game-high 22 points. Late in the game, star forward Jarrett Culver took over, scoring seven of Tech's last nine points in the final minutes. This included a three point dagger to take the lead by seven, securing the Red Raiders' spot in the national championship game.
On Monday night, Virginia was trying to set a record for the second straight year in a row (this time hopefully for the better). It was neck and neck through most of the game, and when it seemed that Texas Tech was going to take the trophy home, Virginia sophomore DeAndre Hunter proved them wrong. Hunter drained a clutch three with 12 seconds to go to tie the game, sending the national championship to overtime. Virginia were shot from guns at the start of overtime and quickly found their rhythm, running away with the game 85-77.

Jewish American Mobster
Fads & Fashions
Ancient History and Culture
Ariela Pelaia
Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel was a powerful member of the mafia in the early to mid 1900s. He was handsome, had a quick temper and a ruthless personality. Siegel was killed in June of 1947 when an unknown assailant shot him while he was visiting his girlfriend, Virginia Hill.
Siegel's Early Life
Benjamin Siegel was born on February 28, 1906 in Brooklyn, New York. His Russian Jewish immigrant family was poor and lived in the crime-ridden neighborhood of Williamsburg. As a young boy, Siegel became involved with a local gang and began stealing and committing other petty crimes. Later, Siegel began extorting "protection" money from pushcart peddlers in the New York area.
In 1918 Siegel became friends with Meyer Lanksy, another Jewish teen who would also become a prominent member of the mafia. Together they formed the Bugs-Meyer Gang and began extending their crimes to include contract killing, gambling and bootlegging.
Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel
During the 1920's Italian gangster Charles "Lucky" Luciano formed a national syndicate in conjunction with other gangsters. They gave Siegel the nickname "Bugsy" because of his hot temper. According to an article on PBS.org, they said Siegel was "crazy as a bedbug" and was "like a pistol when he got mad." Although his fellow gang members likely meant the nickname to be a form of compliment, Siegel apparently despised the moniker and few would call him "Bugsy" to his face.
Siegel soon became a key player in Luciano's group of organized criminals and was one of four hit men from the Bugs-Meyer Gang hired to kill Sicilian mob boss Joe "the Boss" Masseria in 1931. Masseria was gunned down at one of his favorite restaurants on Long Island.
In January 1929 Siegel married his childhood sweetheart, Esta Krakower, who was the sister of hit man Whitey Krakower. They had two daughters together, though the marriage eventually ended in divorce.
Siegel's Moves to the West Coast, Begins Las Vegas
In the late 1930's Siegel relocated to California where he setup bootlegging and gambling rackets and recruited mafia member Mickey Cohen (also Jewish) to be his second in command. Siegel led an extravagant life, buying real estate, throwing lavish parties and hobnobbing with the rich and famous of Los Angeles. According to some sources, actress Jean Harlow was the godmother to Siegel's daughter, Millicent.
Siegel eventually began dating actress Virginia Hill, who was known not only for her beauty but, like Siegel, her temper. She remained his mistress for many years, both during and after his marriage to Esta. During this time of his life Siegel also explored the possibility of become an actor himself.
In the mid-1940's Siegel and Hall moved to Nevada at the behest of Meyer Lansky. Siegel began working on plans to create a gambling center and eventually built The Pink Flamingo Hotel and Casino with funds pooled by the syndicate. At the time, Las Vegas was not a developed gambling center and Siegel envisioned a luxurious resort area where the wealthy could gamble away their money. In this way Siegel, Lansky and other mob members created the original casinos that paved the way for the Las Vegas we know today.
The Pink Flamingo Hotel opened on December 26, 1946 in Las Vegas, Nevada after a total project cost of $6 million. (The original budget was $1.5 million.) Siegel hoped to generate revenue with the casino's opening but it closed two weeks later. It reopened on March 1st under a new name – The Fabulous Flamingo – and eventually began to turn a profit. However, by this time Siegel was on the bad side of many of the mobsters who had originally funded the project. It was believed the hotel had gone so far over budget and was performing so poorly because of Siegel's poor business acumen and because he was skimming money for his own personal use.
Bugsy Siegel's Death
Meyer Lansky and other powerful mob figures were enraged to learn of Siegel's mismanagement and theft of funds that had been allocated for The Pink Flamingo. Perhaps as a result, on June 20, 1947 Siegel was murdered in Virginia Hill's Beverly Hills home. An unknown assailant fired at Siegel through the living room window, hitting him several times. According to his death certificate, he died of gunshot wounds to the head resulting in cerebral hemorrhage.
None of Siegel's associates attended his funeral. He was buried at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood, CA where his body was interred in the Beth Olam Mausoleum.
Bugsy Siegel's Character on "Boardwalk Empire"
Bugsy Siegel appears as a character on HBO's series "Boardwalk Empire." He is played by actor Michael Zegen and first appears in Season 2.

If there is an appliance in House that remains unchanged despite the passage of time is the monitor. The "Bell" as often referred to as and that in many households still presenting an appearance quite stale and with a rather limited functions.
To change these trends Fermax launches its VEO Kits, a family of video door entry seeking to offer performance and maximum security trying to combine both factors with an elegant design. A kit that other tries to make easy its installation even the clumsier. To mount the monitor pack includes street Cityline, monitor plate see and feeder.
The new monitor I see account with a design of clean lines and a series of functions that allow customize and control various aspects of the team, even the melodies that sound the call. All this in addition will carry it out in an intuitive manner using an OSD menu.
Other functions that are the possibility to program a panic button or activate up to two auxiliary functions that the user will be responsible for deciding. In addition the monitor I see has the DUOX technology, which allows that your installation is not complicated to be able using the wiring already in homes or businesses.

Q: How to set explicit axis extents for datetime axis in Highcharts? I have a Highcharts scatter plot with a datetime x-axis. I want to explicitly set the min and max values for the x-axis, regardless of the chart width.
In the example below, I set xAxis.min to be 01/05/2023, but you can see that the plot renders with 01/04/2023 as the minimum value. It seems this minimum value can vary depending on the width of the plot.
Is there any way that I can set specific start/end values for the axis (and use startOnTick/endOnTick), regardless of the plot width?

let start = "05 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT"; // x-axis start
let end = "12 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT"; // x-axis end

496 F2d 800 Silver Chrysler Plymouth Inc v. Chrysler Motors Corporation Chrysler Motors Corporation
SILVER CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH, INC., Plaintiff-Appellee,
CHRYSLER MOTORS CORPORATION and Chrysler Realty Corporation,
Defendants-Appellants.
Honorable Jack B. WEINSTEIN, Judge of the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of New
York, Respondent.
Motion Nos. 4, 10, Dockets 74-1104, 74-1095.
United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.
Argued Jan. 15, 1974, Submitted to the Court En Banc April 16, 1974.
Decided April 25, 1974.
Kelley, Drye, Warren, Clark, Carr & Ellis, New York City, in opposition to the motion to dismiss the appeal and in support of the petition for a writ.
Hammond & Schreiber, New York City, for the motion to dismiss the appeal and in opposition to the petition for a writ.
Before KAUFMAN, Chief Judge, and MOORE, FRIENDLY, HAYS, ANDERSON, FEINBERG, MANSFIELD, MULLIGAN, OAKES and TIMBERS, Circuit Judges.
MOORE, Circuit Judge:
This is a motion to dismiss an appeal from an order denying a motion to disqualify counsel. It originally came on to be heard before a panel consisting of the writer and Judges Friendly and Anderson. A member of the court then in regular active service having requested that the motion be considered en banc and all of the judges having voted in favor of such hearing, it has been so considered by all active judges and the members of the panel on the original briefs and record, without further oral argument.
The merits of the present controversy which relate solely to the appealability of Judge Weinstein's order denying Chrysler's motion to disqualify plaintiff's counsel in an action entitled Silver Chrysler Plymouth, Inc. against Chrysler Motors Corporation and Chrysler Realty Corporation, 73 Civ. 853, are not before us (D.C., 370 F.Supp. 581).
A young law clerk, Dale A. Schreiber, employed after graduation from law school by Kelley Drye Warren Clark Carr & Ellis (Kelley Drye) apparently worked for almost three years in the litigation department of that firm. One of the principal clients of the firm is the Chrysler Corporation. Schreiber was engaged in certain litigation matters for Chrysler, petitioner-appellant in this case. Schreiber left Kelley Drye to join Alexander Hammond and together they formed the firm of Hammond & Schreiber. Hammond (and the firm of Hammond & Schreiber) is alleged to specialize in prosecuting automobile dealers' claims against manufacturers, including Chrysler. The suit creating this controversy is a dealer suit against Chrysler in which Schreiber is representing the dealer. Chrysler's attorneys seek to disqualify Schreiber from acting as the attorney and to dismiss the complaint because of such representation. Judge Weinstein denied Chrysler's motion to disqualify.
The problem facing Chrysler's attorneys is: how can an appeal, if there be one, be taken at this stage of the litigation?
For years this appealability problem has plagued both counsel and the courts. The procedures followed by Chrysler, as petitioner-appellant, on this phase of the case, exemplify the current situation and uncertainty.
On August 27, 1973, Chrysler moved to disqualify and to enjoin plaintiff-dealer's attorneys, Hammond & Schreiber, from further participation in the case. By order, November 26, 1973, Judge Weinstein denied the motion.
On December 11, 1973, Chrysler sought to have Judge Weinstein amend his order to include a Section 1292(b) statement that an immediate appeal might materially advance the termination of the litigation.1 This, by order of December 17, 1973, the Judge refused to do. Chrysler then filed its notice of direct appeal dated December 21, 1973.
Chrysler then turned to this Court for permission to appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1292(b) and Rule 5, Fed.,R.A.P. This motion was denied on January 10, 1974. Chrysler previously (January 3, 1974) had sought to stay District Court proceedings until the appeal should be determined. On January 15, 1974, the motion was granted.
On January 9, 1974, plaintiff-respondent-appellee moved to dismiss Chrysler's appeal and challenged the power of this Court to grant relief by way of mandamus. Apparently still uncertain as to how to reach this Court, Chrysler on January 23, 1974, filed its petition for an Extraordinary Writ pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1651 and Rule 21, Fed.R.A.P., directing Judge Weinstein to vacate his original order, to disqualify the law firm of Hammond & Schreiber, and to dismiss the complaint.
Thus, procedural uncertainties subsequent to denial of the motion have produced (1) a notice of appeal; (2) a motion in the District Court to amend the order to include a 1292(b) statement; (3) a motion to this Court for permission to appeal; and (4) a petition for an Extraordinary Writ-- each except for the notice of appeal included the same repetitious statements of fact and law and each required time-consuming consideration by the courts.
By order of January 29, 1974, this Court joined the petition for a Writ and the motion to dismiss the appeal. The upshot of all these maneuverings is to bring before us the simple question and the necessity of resolving the difficult answer: is the order denying disqualification appelable?
Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949), may be taken as the cornerstone. There in a case involving the appealability of the denial of a motion in a stockholders' derivative action to require security for expenses, Mr. Justice Jackson with his background of long trial experience wrote:
(After final judgment) it will be too late effectively to review the present order and the right conferred by the statute, if it is applicable, will have been lost, probably irreparably . . .. This decision appears to fall in that small class which finally determine claims of right separable from, and collateral to, rights asserted in the action, too important to be denied review and too independent of the cause itself to require that appellate consideration be deferred until the whole case is adjudicated. The Court has long given this provision of the statute this practical rather than a technical construction . . ..
337 U.S. at 546-547.
Appeal from less than a final judgment was permitted.
Resolution of the problems attendant to any litigation usually calls for a 'practical' rather than a 'technical' approach if the desideratum of an equitable result is to be attained. However, we are not here writing on a clean slate.
This Circuit in 1956 in Harmar Drive-In Theatre v. Warner Bros. Pictures, 239 F.2d 555 (2d Cir. 1956), squarely faced the appealability question saying: 'Before reaching the merits it is necessary to consider whether the order is appealabel.' There, as here, supplemental briefs addressed to this question had been requested by the court and submitted. The court referred to four earlier (1954, 1955, 1956) cases in this Circuit involving motions to disqualify counsel. In Consolidated Theatres v. Warner Bros. Circuit Management Corp., 216 F.2d 920 (2d Cir. 1954), Judges Chase, Frank and Hincks affirmed on the merits an order granting disqualification. Appealability was not discussed. A year later Laskey Bros. of W. Va., Inc. v. Warner Bros. Pictures and Austin Theatre, Inc. v. Warner Bros. Pictures, 224 F.2d 824, cert. denied, 350 U.S. 932, 76 S.Ct. 300, 100 L.Ed. 814 were decided. (Then Chief) Judge Clark wrote the opinion affirming disqualification in Laskey Bros. as well as the denial of disqualification in Austin. Judge Chase concurred; Judge Ryan of the District Court dissented. Reference was made to the Fisher Studio case, argued but then undecided. Fisher Studio came before this Court in early 1956.2 (Then Chief) Judge Clark wrote the opinion affirming with minor modifications an order of disqualification, noting as to jurisdiction that 'since these orders of disqualification are collateral to the main case * * * (the final order of disqualification is) also appropriately treated as a separate and collateral proceeding.' (p. 204). Late in 1956 Harmar was decided with the benefit of Cohen and the cases above mentioned. After considering the question Judge Swan wrote: 'A majority of the court are of opinion that with respect to appealability no distinction exists between orders granting disqualification and those refusing to do so.' (p. 556). Thus, from Cohen in 1949 and until 1959, the law in this Circuit in favor of appealability of disqualification orders, granted or denied, rested on the solid foundation of Cohen, and appeared to have been definitely established.
However, in February 1959 an order denying disqualification came before a panel of (then Chief) Judge Clark, Circuit Judge Moore and District Court Judge Gibson (D.C.Vt.) in the case of Fleischer v. Phillips, 264 F.2d 515. (Then Chief) Judge Clark chose not to follow Cohen or his colleagues in Harmar or his own opinion in Laskey Bros. and rejected appealability. District Judge Gibson joined him. Judge Moore in his dissent after referring to Cohen and Harmar pointed out that 'The disqualification of the attorneys selected by the defendants is wholly collateral to the issues in that case' and that 'consideration should also be given to the practical situation with which some future trial judge will be confronted in ruling on questions of admissible evidence.' (p. 519).
Four months later (June 1959) another order denying disqualification was appealed. Marco v. Dulles, 268 F.2d 192 (2d Cir. 1959). The appellant here relied on Judge Swan's opinion in Harmar. Judge Swan apparently felt that Fleischer superseded his Harmar opinion and that the majority (Judge Hincks concurring) were 'constrained to dismiss the appeal.' Judge Moore, still preserving the stare decisis approach, dissented, again referring to the law as expounded in Cohen and Harmar and issued a Cassandra-type warning that 'the dismissal of this appeal will only accomplish all that both the Supreme Court and the recent legislation (28 U.S.C. 1292(b), Sept. 1958) hoped to avoid, namely, repetition, duplication, delay and expense.' (p. 194).
Over the years the composition of the Court has changed-- and so have structures of large metropolitan law firms. Charges of conflict of interest and motions to disqualify will probably increase rather than abate. But equally the importance of resolving this issue at the outset also increases in greater ratio lest a costly and protracted trial be tainted on the merits by an issue collateral thereto.
Thus we find in 1973 an appeal from an order granting motions to disqualify an attorney, Emle Industries, Inc. v. Patentex, Inc., 478 F.2d 562, Judge (now Chief Judge) Kaufman, writing for the panel which included Judges Anderson and Oakes, accepted the appeal and affirmed the District Court's order, saying as to jurisdiction 'We have jurisdiction to review an order disqualifying an attorney under the doctrine of Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949).' (p. 570, fn. 5). In the same footnote he showed his awareness of both Fleischer and Marco, supra.
Other circuits have approached the disqualification problem in various ways. In the Ninth Circuit after referring to Fleischer (as not following Harmar), Marco and Wilhelm, 312 F.2d 399 (1963) in this Circuit, the Court in Cord v. Smith, 338 F.2d 516 (1964), although holding the order not appealable, reached the same result by writ approach (28 U.S.C. 1651)-- even as Chrysler alternatively seeks to do here-- and directed the lower court to set aside the order denying disqualification and directed disqualification, saying:
We think that we should exercise our discretion to so treat (as a petition for a writ) the matter in this case. Continued participation as an attorney, by one who is disqualified by conflict of interest from so doing, will bring about the very evil which the rule against his participation is designed to prevent, and a subsequent reversal based upon such participation cannot undo the damage that will have been done as a result of such participation. We therefore proceed to the merits.
338 F.2d at 521-522.
The court followed Cord in Chugach Elec. Ass'n v. United States, 370 F.2d 441 (9 Cir. 1966), employing the writ method to effect disqualification after denial thereof by the District Court.
In 1972 the Fourth Circuit in United States v. Hankish, 462 F.2d 316, declined to take jurisdiction via the writ procedure (the petition would have had to have been construed as an application for a writ) because it indicated that the order of disqualification might be held to be appealable under Cohen and our own decision in Harmar (reference is also made to Fleischer), saying: 'If we should follow the decision in Harmar, the order in the instant case would be appealable under the rule in Cohen.' Unlike the present case, however, an appeal under 28 U.S.C. 1291 had not been sought by the filing of a notice of appeal.
In Yablonski v. United Mine Workers of America, 142 U.S.App.D.C. 193, 454 F.2d 1036 (1971), the D.C. Circuit, dealing with the denial of a motion to disqualify counsel, said: 'We think the order now challenged was appealable, * * *.' (p. 1038). As to mandamus, the Court said: 'It is clear that the case may be sufficiently extraordinary for mandamus 'where it (is) necessary to confine a lower court to the terms of an appellate tribunal's mandate." The Court adopted the reasoning of Cord, which is equally true here, namely, 'Continued participation as an attorney, by one who is disqualified by conflict of interest from so doing, will bring about the very evil which the rule against his participation is designed to prevent, and a subsequent reversal based upon such participation cannot undo the damage that will have been done as a result of such participation.' Cord, supra, at 521-522.
In the Fifth Circuit, Judge Tuttle, writing for the Court in Uniweld Products, Inc. v. Union Carbide Corporation, 385 F.2d 992 (1967), held that an order denying disqualification was appealable, saying: 'First, we conclude that this is an appealable order, in the light of the decision of this court in Tomlinson v. Florida Iron & Metal, Inc., 5th Cir. (1961), 291 F.2d 333.' (p. 994). Tomlinson had held that an order denying a disqualification motion was appealable under the Cohen principle.
In Greene v. The Singer Company (November 2, 1971, unreported, No. 71-1835), the Third Circuit held that an order denying a petition to disqualify one of the appellee's lawyers was appealable under the Cohen rule. The court, believing that 'The Second and Ninth Circuits have held the Cohen rule inapplicable.' (citing Fleischer, Marco and Wilhelm in the Second Circuit and Cord in the Ninth Circuit) chose to follow the Fifth Circuit's Tomlinson approach authorizing an appeal, and said: 'To require appellant to await a final judgment on the merits before testing the legality of the order denying the disqualification may, for practical purposes, deny it the reality of appellate processes. * * * Conversely, if the appeal goes forward now, prior to trial, the possibility of irreparable injury would be substantially lessened.'
Attempted appeals either by notice of appeal or by the writ approach in proceedings other than counsel disqualification are neither dispositive nor authoritative.
In American Express Warehousing, Ltd. v. Transamerica Ins. Co., 380 F.2d 277 (1967), the appeal was from a discovery order in a so-called 'big case.' The order, unlike the order here, was within the mainstream of the litigation and not collateral thereto. (Then Chief) Judge Lumbard dissented and would have granted mandamus.
In Weight Watchers of Phila. v. Weight Watchers Int., 455 F.2d 770 (1972), an order permitting the defendant to communicate with potential members of a class on whose behalf the plaintiff sought to maintain a class action, was held non-appealable by this Court, (then Chief) Judge Friendly writing the opinion, concurred in by Judges Moore and Oakes. As Judge Friendly pointed out (p. 773), 'When we compare the order here sought to be appealed with others implicating Cohen, the inapplicability of that decision becomes clear.'
In International Business Machines Corp. v. United States, 480 F.2d 293 (1973) (en banc), this Court dismissed both appeal and the petition for mandamus. Judges Moore and Timbers dissented. The majority opinion held that the Expediting Act (15 U.S.C. 29) deprived this Court of jurisdiction to hear the appeal and that 1292(b) was of no avail since the District Court had not certified that a controlling question of law was involved. Moreover, IBM involved the production of documents in the case being prepared for trial. Production was not a separate or collateral issue as is disqualification here.
Thus, none of these three cases bears upon the issue now before us.3
By way of summary, in this Circuit, subsequent to Cohen, in Consolidated Theatres, Laskey Bos. of W. Va., and Fisher Studio, supra, the respective panels all accepted the appeals. Harmar definitely held an order denying disqualification to be appealable. In 1959 (then Chief) Judge Clark and a District Court Judge, without referring the case to an en banc court, in effect, overruled Harmar.
This review would indicate that (then Chief) Judge Clark accepted a disqualification order appeal in Laskey Bros. but rejected an appeal from an order denying disqualification in Fleischer. Judge Swan in Harmar sustained the appealability of an order denying disqualification but felt 'constrained' to decide otherwise in Marco. Judge Moore was consistent in sustaining the appealability of orders granting or denying disqualification. Now in 1974 we believe that Cohen requires a return to the wisdom of Harmar and so we uphold the appealability of an order denying disqualification, just as we have long upheld the appealability of an order granting this. There is no sufficient basis for distinguishing between the two. In both situations the order is collateral to the main proceeding yet has grave consequences to the losing party, and it is fatuous to suppose that review of the final judgment will provide adequate relief.
It would seem to be appropriate at this time to dispel the needless uncertainty as to the law and procedure relating to the appealability of disqualification orders. All three prerequisites of Cohen are met. Since this is so, there is no reason not to follow the mandate of the Supreme Court and adopt their decision, namely:
We hold this order appealable because it is a final disposition of a claimed right which is not an ingredient of the cause of action and does not require consideration with it.
337 U.S. at 547.
By holding such an order directly appealable, we eliminate the uncertainties (and the paperwork) attendant to resorting to 1292(b) and/or 1651. Since the ultimate objective is to bring before an appellate court an important question which, if unresolved, might well taint a trial, why should not this question be presented before judicial and attorney time may have been needlessly expended?
Fleischer and Marco, holding to the contrary, are overruled.
Motion to dismiss appeal denied.
In view of our decision denying the motion to dismiss the appeal, the petition for a writ becomes moot and is therefore dismissed.

FreeBSD 4.4: What does this mean for OS X?
I hate to ask this and show what little knowledge I have regarding Unix but what advantages are there for using FreeBSD 4.4?
Yeah, I'd be very interest to find out what effect these under the hood changes are going to have on Mac OS X.
Not only the new FreeBSD, but also the new GCC 3 compiler, IPv6 (it's just a IP protocol, but still, an important one don't you think? considering the internet and all ).
I believe Amorph, AirSnuff, Programmer, or even an AI admin would be able to give us all the kind of in-depth, understandable explanation we're looking for.
This seems a little silly ehh?
Do we really need a gravestone graphic for beloved OS 9? Reminds me of new Windoze introductions...with all the hype and bs.
Mac OS X was previously mostly in sync with FreeBSD 3.2. Moving to 4.4 means OS X's BSD underpinnings will be almost as modern as the current FreeBSD. I believe the latest stable release is FreeBSD 4.5.
Correct. 4.6 is scheduled for release on June 1.
I wonder how much of 4.4 will actually be synched into Jaguar. Hopefully SoftUpdates will be.
Anyway, Classic is gone.. Good riddance. I have fond memories of the old beast, but it's time to move on to bigger and better things.
<strong>Yeah, I'd be very interest to find out what effect these under the hood changes are going to have on Mac OS X.
... further to that effect, what's the big difference between freeBSD and Linux?
... oh, and is Darwin basically freeBSD's apps and utilities stuck on top of a Mach Kernel?
Sure, but I doubt it will help you to become a man.
man: no entry for love in the manual.
The kernel. It's convergent evolution really...like dolphins and sharks. These days the reals differences are in philosophy and politics. The GPL vs the BSD License...and various little quibbles here and there.
At the very lowest level, the Darwin name can be attributed to the kernel, which is Mach 3.0 derived with a BSD personality grafted onto it. The Darwin distribution is a mixture of open source, much BSD, a little GNU, much NeXT/OpenStep type stuff.

I'm having two problem with this code. First one is that this is retrieving issues from filenames of source folder that were deleted long time ago and I don't understand why, because if I enter to sonarqube local web api on localhost/9000 that code is not there
and second and most important, I'm trying to get Issues from a filename but sonarqube is giving me issues from all the project(even projects when I had more than one), including deleted codes from the first problem I said above.
I'm fetching issues with this URL
http://localhost:9000/api/issues/search?q=" + fileName;

I'm using  SonarQube version: 6.7.1
this is my first time with sonarqube so maybe I'm missing something

A: Where did you see that q is a valid parameter? It's not in the list I'm looking at, which is probably why you're getting random results.
You need to be using componentKeys instead, altho the right-hand side is going to be more than just the file name; instead it will be something like projectKey:path/to/file so you'll need to work out the details of that.
Regarding the issues you're getting back on deleted files, closed issues are cleaned out of the database 30 days (default value) later. Since your query is currently pulling a random set of issues, unconstrained by status, that explains seeing these "ghost" issues.

Fundamentals of Web Design Layout: Part 1
Layout is the foundation of all visual design, yet it commonly sits back seat to "sexier" design techniques like depth, color and typography. When layout is ignored, designs become fundamentally unusable, rendering a website useless to both users and stakeholders.
To respect the role of layout requires a solid understanding of what it is.
Layout Defined
The classic definition of layout is "The way in which parts of something are arranged." In web design specifically, layout is "The way elements, content and graphics are organized on the page." A key distinction here is the substation of "arranged" for "organized." Arranging elements without organizing them doesn't create a layout, it creates visual vomit.
The purpose of a layout is organization, more specifically layout uses organization to:
Convey relative importance of content
Group similar content and separate unrelated
Optimize visual flow
Establish a basic visual hierarchy
Each aspect of layout might not be compelling alone, but together they make or break a design.
When Good Layouts Go Bad
A great layout makes design look easy. Every element fits so well within the design, you would never consider putting them anywhere else. The "logical" organization of elements makes navigating the website easy. Users don't need to think where desired content is located, the layout tells them. If users are looking for important content, they know to look in the primary content area, typically located in the area with the most space. If they are looking for something less important, like navigation, they look for secondary or tertiary areas which are smaller and placed in less prominent locations.
Because layouts are purely visual, the best way to understand what works and what doesn't is through example.
Well Organized Layouts
Information Architects
The Information Architects website, while minimal to the point of being plain, has a beautiful designed layout. The layout is so predominate, it's actually the strongest design element.
The design makes no attempt to hide the underlying grid structure. Ample whitespace makes it easy to identify where each section within the layout starts and stops. The few graphical elements that are on the page receive maximum attention because they heavily contrast the otherwise white and text heavy design.
In terms of layout, the first element a user encounters is the top navigation which is broken up into four columns (1). That same four column structure is retained at the bottom where the footer navigation lies (2). By using the same column structure, users can easily extrapolate that the footer elements are also navigation. This occurs based on principles of consistency. Elements which look alike are thought as related, elements that look different are considered to be unrelated.
The primary area is bold, and large, equipped with a massive photo and supported with text which is broken up into three columns (3). Immediately below lives a news section, which for all intensive purposes is a single column. By shifting that column to the right and confining it to a smaller column whitespace and legibility are maximized (4).
Why this Layout Works
The primary goal of any layout is to clearly organize and locate information. The Information Architects website does so beautifully. By observing the layout you can decipher what's most important and in what order. Larger, higher up elements are clearly most important and as elements become less importance they shrink and are moved further down the page. The grid keeps everything organized neatly, everything falls into place in a logical way and your focus is never divided between two elements that seem equally important.
In this design, the layout is fitted the content.
Mark Boulton Design
The Mark Boulton Design website also employs a well executed layout. Like Information Architects, the design uses a grid to clearly organize content on the page. Unlike Information Architects, the design is bold, vibrant and graphical in nature. This demonstrating that using a grids and organization doesn't mean the site must be graphically stark.
The page header is placed at the very top of the page and is larger than anything else by a factor of at least 100. This clearly communicates it's the most important element (1). The header content is case studies, intentionally telling the user that above else, they should be aware of the companies previous work. Once you travel past the header, there is a full column tagline describing what the company does (2). Because the tagline is smaller and placed further down the page, it's apparent that Mark Boulton Design feels previous work is more compelling.
Below the tagline resides four equal width columns (3). The content with in those columns seem unrelated, but their size and placement indicates they are of equal importance. The ample whitespace makes it easy to read and digest content within a column, if you choose to do so.
It doesn't feel like it, but there is a lot of content on this page: Case studies, navigation, a logo, the mission statement (or tagline), a brief company description, news, contact information and a portfolio section... phew! Because the content is laid out in a logical, well organized way it is easy to read and comprehend. The layout tells you what to look at and in what capacity.
With a quick glance you know what's most important (the header), almost as important (the tagline) and that everything else is equally important. Additionally, by using four equal width columns you can easily scan the headline of each to determine if the column contains the content you are seeking. If not, you continue scanning until you find the one that does.
Again the design puts content together like a puzzel. Everything fit's into place perfectly.
Hopefully these examples illustrate what a well designed layout is composed of. Specifically, the layout organizes the content on the page based on it's importance and relationship. More important content is placed in large containers and located at the top of the page. Less important content is contained in smaller cells and placed lower on the page. Similar content (or content that's related) is grouped together which communicates their relationship.
In our next installment we will cover how to design your own layout in the most effective way.

How do Americans spend their days?
One of my favorite data graphics is an interactive piece by The New York Times that shows how Americans spend their day, based on the American Time Use Survey (ATUS). I've also been wanting to play with Mike Bostock's Data-Driven Documents, or D3 for short, for a while now. So put the two together, and this is what I got.
Main takeaway: we spend most of our time sleeping, eating, working, and watching television.
I followed the NYT aesthetic mostly for myself. I've found that a good way to learn is to try to copy something you like, and then use what you learn to do your own thing.
The NYT version was a stacked area chart with a number of interactions that made the data easier to read. I took a different route and split up some of the main activities, such as sleeping, eating, and working, into separate time series charts to see if it allowed you to see anything new. Showing separate charts at once places more focus on comparisons than on the distributions.
There was one challenge with the data that I didn't anticipate. ATUS provides a table of percentages by hour, but you'll notice with the NYT graphic the numbers are per ten minutes. You can actually calculate this with the ATUS microdata, which is basically the raw survey data from a few thousand respondents. I did this at first but lost patience, because I really just wanted to play with D3 rather than spend all my time building estimates.
I went with the hourly data which are averages for the sample population. The demographic breakdowns were only available in PDF, so I had some data entry fun, too. Luckily, I got my hands on Able2Extract (going off of Matthew Ericson's advice) to ease some of the pain.
Once the graphic was done, I noticed that the transitions are actually a nice way to show differences. For example, if you look at the time use for men and then women, the differences are subtle, but because the change is animated it's easier to spot. I think I knew this already, but probably never thought about it very deeply.
Anyways, it was fun playing around with D3. The beginning learning curve was kind of steep for me, but now that I know my way around a little better, I'm expecting more fun to come.
Mess around with the final graphic here. Let me know what you think.
[How Americans Spend Their Day]
Love the One You're With
After C. S. Lewis lost his wife, Helen, to cancer, he realized he didn't have a single good picture of her. Maybe that's hard to grasp in our culture of profile pics from every angle, but he wasn't upset about it. In fact, he saw the distinct advantage of lacking a quality image of his wife. He wrote:
I want H., not something that is like her. A really good photograph might become in the end a snare, a horror, and an obstacle.
How could a photo of the woman he loved become a snare? Because in the absence of the real person, he saw his tendency to fill the image with his own fancy. In fact, this was one of the prominent themes for Lewis in A Grief Observed. He was terrified at the prospect of shaping Helen into a phantom of his own making. Particularly alarming was his inclination to long for certain aspects of Helen's personality more than others. Of course he would never intentionally import something fictitious about her, but, he mused, "won't the composition inevitably become more and more my own?" What worried Lewis most was that Helen would become to him merely an extension of himself, of his old bachelor pipe-dreams.
Spousal Resistance
Lewis illuminates an overlooked gift in marriage: spousal resistance. I am not talking about red-faced tension or caustic defiance. I mean the simple fact that your spouse is a real person whose very existence will not conform to the image you have of him or her. Spousal resistance anchors you to reality, a reality in which God calls you to love your actual spouse, not your preferred one. Lewis observed:
All reality is iconoclastic. The earthly beloved, even in this life, incessantly triumphs over your mere idea of her. And you want her to; you want her with all her resistances, all her faults, all her unexpectedness. That is, in her foursquare and independent reality. And this, not any image or memory, is what we are to love still, after she is dead.
And, I would argue, when she is alive, too. As odd as it sounds, we can be thankful for the thousands of little disagreements that season the marital relationship, the countless differences of perspective that make it alive. These indicate that you are interacting with an independent being, one you've been entrusted with to love sacrificially.
The very essence of sacrificial love is accommodating another rather than expecting another to accommodate self. Taking Lewis's insight, then, we should be suspicious of our tendency to admire only those characteristics we approve of in our spouse and to revise those we don't. When remembering a deceased spouse, this is bad enough; you aren't loving her, but an edited memory of her. When serving a living spouse, it is worse; you aren't pursuing her, but what you hope she would be. Far better is to love the original, not your revised edition. After all, you're an original, too.
Loving the original requires lifelong adjustment on your part, and this deference is a key proof of the marital love that Christians are called to (Eph. 5:21-33). Don't be discouraged when you don't see eye-to-eye with your spouse. Where there is no disagreement, no annoyance, no resistance, there is no opportunity for sacrifice. If we love only what is pleasing to us in our spouse, we are loving only our preferences. We don't need the gospel to do that.
We do need it to free us from our tendency to adjust one another constantly to our liking. Jesus came to serve an impulsive Peter, a distracted Martha, a dubious Thomas. And he came to serve a silly person like each one of us. And yes, Christ's redemptive love changes us by degree, but this change is about conformity to righteousness, not conformity to personal preference.
So if your wife laughs too easily for your taste, love her for it. If she's more pessimistic than you prefer, minister to her fears. If your husband is quieter in social gatherings than you'd like, be grateful for it. If he has more difficulty making plans than you think reasonable, come alongside happily. In all the little spousal resistances, celebrate the privilege of loving a person, not an image.
As Lewis said, reality is iconoclastic. And thank God this is especially true in marriage.
Google To FCC: Stop Letting The Voice Network Tail Wag The Internet Dog
The Internet carries nearly 160 times more traffic than voice networks in North America, yet many of the regulations and inter-carrier traffic fees are based on the quickly receding era when voice networks ruled. Google calls this the "Tail Wagging The Dog" in a letter to the FCC (embedded below) urging them not to impose antiquated per-minute voice traffic fees on IP networks. This is becoming an issue as IP voice traffic approaches that of traditional circuit-switched voice traffic. Google's lawyers write in their letter:
Standalone voice traffic already is decreasing markedly relative to other forms of communications traffic; in fact, as depicted in the attached, the majority of voice traffic will be IP-based in just a few years. Accordingly, the FCC should not allow what amounts to the very small tail of legacy voice wireline services to wag the very large dog of all communications traffic exchange. In particular, per-minute voice traffic origination and termination charges are a persistent but unwelcome relic from the circuit-switched telephony era, and not best-suited for modern IP traffic and networks.
Google illustrates the changing nature of the network in a series of dramatic slides. Back in 1997, U.S. Internet traffic was only 3,300 terabytes per month, compared to 54,000 terabytes per month for the voice network. Three years later in 2000, voice traffic peaked at 66,000 terabytes per month, while Internet traffic had grown more than eightfold to 28,000 terabytes oer month.
By 2005, consumer IP traffic had reached 669,000 terabytes per month (with 2 terabytes of that being IP voice traffic), while voice traffic had shrunk to 48,000 terabytes per month.
In 2010, consumer IP traffic in North America completely dwarfed voice traffic with 5.7 terabytes per month versus 36,000 for the aging voice network. What's more, IP voice traffic (Skype, Google Voice, etc.) accounted for 21,000 terabytes per month, or nearly 60 percent of what was going over the old switched network.
All of these networks, both data and voice, are going to IP networks. By 2015, Google estimates that consumer IP traffic in North America will more than triple again to 19.4 million terabytes per month, whereas the voice network will shrink further to 26,000 terabytes per month. And IP voice traffic will be almost as big at 21,000 terabytes per month (See top slide). The entire letter with all the slides is embedded below.

Zetros, Zetros, Golly! Ultra-Luxury Mercedes-Benz 6×6 RVs Tackle Mongolian Wilderness (And We've Got Interior Photos)
In Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, there are a couple of guys who've done well for themselves in the business world. One owns a brewery that specializes in German-style beer; the other made his bones in the mining industry. Sometimes, they like to use eagles to hunt for wolves in the Altai mountains.
Now, after a long day of raptor-vs.-lupine action, your average Mongolian businessman might be content to retire to a lean-to by the side of his Land Rover, settling down with his companions and birds of prey for the night. These two, however, have decided to wet-sand the bejeezus out of the concept of roughing it. They bring the indoors with them, bolted to the chassis of Mercedes-Benz Zetros 6×6 trucks. Equipped with a 7.2-liter diesel inline-six that thwacks out 959 lb-ft of torque, the Zetros has three locking differentials and routes the power to all six wheels through a transfer case with a 1.69:1 low ratio.
The interior's where things really get nutty. Far more opulent than our beloved GMC MotorHome, these custom-built living stations were designed and constructed by Hartmann in Alsfeld, Germany and outfitted by RV-interior specialist Huenerkopf. They feature fully insulated walls, furniture designed to withstand the harsh realm of the Gobi desert, a fully equipped galley, and perhaps most important, heated marble floors and a combo bidet/toilet in the head. One of the trucks also features a parking bay for a quad.
Tech amenities include two TV monitors (in 40- and 46-inch diagonals)—ironically seen in these pics showing a documentary about the wonders of the wild world—satellite communications and a Mac-mini based media hub plugged into a Bose sound system. It's all run off four 220-Ah batteries charged automatically by a diesel generator and two 80-watt solar panel units mounted on the roof.
In the 1982 cinema classic Conan the Barbarian, the eponymous hero spends some time bunking with a Mongol horde. After a day of battle, a general asks his jubilant charges a simple question, "What is best in life?"
A proud Mongol warrior immediately replies "The open steppe! Fleet horse! Falcons at your wrist and the wind in your hair!"
"Wrong!" interjects the General. "Conan! What is best in life?"
"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!"
What if the answer were actually both? These custom Zetros trucks may well be your rides.

It's time for English teachers to stop teaching that the earth is flat
By Dennis Baron
When I asked a class of prospective teachers to discuss the impact on students of prescriptive rules like "Don't split infinitives," "Don't end sentences with prepositions," and "Don't use contractions," one student ignored the descriptive grammar we had been studying and instead equated correctness in language with intelligent design:
I think I support prescriptivism. I believe that some words are absolutely unacceptable in any situation. I think there should be an accepted way of speaking and deviation would not be tolerated. I believe in a set of absolute values. I believe there is one right and wrong for everyone. Perhaps what I think is right is not what you think is right but in the final analysis that isn't going to matter. What God thinks is right is what really matters and He doesn't have one right for you and one right for me.
Her faith-based answer, God speaks standard English so you should too, may be extreme, but her emphasis on correct language is one that too many English teachers accept without question. So far as grammar lessons go, it's time they stopped teaching that the earth is flat.
Even though creationists attack evolution as "just a theory," high school biology covers the origin of species, along with DNA, microbes and the circulatory system. Physics teaches the big bang, subatomic particles, and as even Galileo knew 400 years ago, an earth that moves around the sun. And students in chem labs aren't turning lead into gold, except perhaps at Hogwarts. There are no fundamentalist wingnuts enforcing the view that the rules of English are written in stone, yet English teachers act like the study of language hasn't advanced since eighteenth-century grammarians started making lists of good grammar and bad or decided that a noun is the name of a person, place, or thing.
It's not that English teachers don't know that linguistic knowledge has progressed over the past 250 years. Prospective teachers get a healthy dose of sociolinguistics, transformational grammar, and the history of English. They study the emergence of dialects and the social contexts from which language standards grow. And they learn that unlike the standard meter or kilogram, which can be measured with scientific precision, there is no single, objective standard language which everybody speaks. They study language contact, assimilation, and heritage language loss, and they learn that when schools abandon bilingual education and leave non-English-speaking students to sink or swim in English-only classes, most sink. And last but not least, they're taught to regard their students' language not as something to be constantly graded and corrected, but as an energetic, highly-competent, continually-evolving form of language, complete with its own standards and variants.
But when they get their own classrooms, many of these same teachers reject such knowledge in favor of the simplistic language model they absorbed when they were in school, a model that ignores the complexities of the language people use every day in favor of a few prescriptive rules that can be memorized and tested, but that have little connection with what really happens when we talk or write.
Galileo, sitting in a science class today, would be mystified by a curriculum that has gone way beyond his experiment with an inclined plane, but Apollonius, the 2nd-century CE Greek grammarian who was one of the first to write about the parts of speech, would be perfectly at home with a modern grammar lesson, assuming he could follow it in English. And speaking of immigrants, if we could actually transport Apollonius and Archimedes, the Greek mathematician who first described the principle of buoyancy, to the local high school, they might find themselves sinking in an English-only immersion program.
For years linguists have been trying with little success to bring school grammar back to the present. We're not proposing to do away with notions of correctness — ideas about appropriate usage form an important part of the way that English speakers function. Instead, we'd like to transmute the conventional right-wrong language dichotomy into a contextually-dependent sliding scale of language that works in particular situations, and language that may not work so well, demonstrating that there are many varieties of standard English, not just one. Plus, we'd like to point out that even in an English-speaking country, the language people use doesn't always have to be English.
Unfortunately our schools have always been too focused on enforcing and testing a monolithic model of standard English to encourage teachers and their students to explore the language phenomena that surround us. As a result, teachers find it easier to tell students simply to avoid the passive voice than to get them to understand that although the passive can be problematic, it's often useful and sometimes mandatory.
But even with the simplistic rule, "the passive should be avoided," it turns out that many students can't figure out the difference between the passive voice and the past tense. So in the end, standard English, which may or may not actually exist, often remains a mystery, and too many students leave school convinced that whether or not language is the product of intelligent design, its design is far from intelligible to them.
Luckily, outside the classroom things linguistic are neither obscure nor monochromatic. It's true that when put on the spot, most people will parrot what they learned in school, that there's a right and a wrong way to speak or write. But mostly people take a practical approach to correctness in language, recognizing as correct what works in a given context, not what's categorically good or bad.
Perhaps the most important grammar lesson to learn, then, is to trust our language instincts instead of mimicking some ideal which turns out to be a moving target. We need to finally leave the eighteenth-century prescriptions behind and aim for language that is simply good enough to do the job of expressing whatever it is we need to say. And when we study language, we should study what it is, not what someone thinks it should be.

Contact lenses of the future projects images onto eyeballs
The future does bring some rather interesting additions to the fore, among them include contact lenses that are capable of projecting images right on top of your retinas, according to researchers at the University of Washington who have been hard at work on super small and semi-transparent LEDs which will be integrated into existing contact lenses. To date, they managed to develop red and blue pixels, awaiting the day when they are able to figure out green ones to create full color displays. Now fret not that the images are just millimeters away from your retinas – they will still be in perfect focus, and once the display is turned off, everything else will end up being transparent. As the lenses themselves are inside your eyelids, you won't be able to not see anything that is projected – so closing your eyes won't work at all. Does this mean we will have to pay more to get ad-free contact lenses in the future? That is certainly open to debate.

Word Lens Translates Words Inside of Images. Yes Really.
Ever been confused at a restaurant in a foreign country and wish you could just scan your menu with your iPhone and get an instant translation? Well as of today you are one step closer thanks to Word Lens from QuestVisual.
The iPhone app, which hit iTunes last night, is the culmination of 2 1/2 years of work from founders Otavio Good and John DeWeese. The paid app, which currently offers only English to Spanish and Spanish to English translation for $4.99, uses Optical Character Recognition technology to execute something which might as well be magic. This is what the future, literally, looks like.
Founder Good explains the app's process simply, "It tries to find out what the letters are and then looks in the dictionary. Then it draws the words back on the screen in translation." Right now the app is mostly word for word translation, useful if you're looking to get the gist of something like a dish on a menu or what a road sign says.
At the moment the only existing services even remotely like this are Pleco, a Chinese learning app and a feature on Google Goggles where you can snap a stillshot and send that in for translation. Word Lens is currently self-funded.
Good says that the obvious steps for Word Lens' future is to get more languages in. He's planning on incorporating major European languages and is also thinking about other potential uses including a reader for the blind, "I wouldn't be surprised if we did French next, Italian and since my mom is Brazilian, Portuguese."
Says Good, modestly, "The translation isn't perfect, but it gets the point across." You can try it out for yourself here.

Q: Configuring Teamcity's logging behaviour I'm using Teamcity 5 for our CI environment. It's a great tool, but I've been struggling with one thing: the stdout_yyyyMMdd.log file in the \TeamCity\logs folder grows to ridiculous sizes. Is there a way to turn it off?
Places I've looked so far:

*

*Jetbrains: Nothing on stdout;

*Google for "tomcat stdout logs": the first few links don't really address the issue.

Edit:
At KIR's suggestion, I actually looked to see what's in stdout. It's the same exception message repeated over and over again:

Any idea what this file is?

A: If you're running TC on unix you could use logrotate: http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/logrotate8.html (Obviously, this is a workaround but it should be effective.)
This guy has a windows equivalent that may do the trick too: http://www.datori.org/?p=7

A: Remove .BuildServer\system\caches\search directory and restart TeamCity. May be this would help.

A: The problem is caused by someone or something deleting the Lucene Index in Team city.
Everytime you hit a page after this it will log in stdout that it couldnt find the file.
If you clear out the whole folder which should be
%USERPROFILE%.BuildServer\system\caches\search\
See http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/TCD5/TeamCity+Data+Directory for more information on where to find the folder.
And restart Teamcity it will recreate the index on start up and stop logging the error message.
Oh and search should start working again too.


An Oklahoma legislator who wants to restrict when police can seize cash and other assets from people they suspect of drug-trade involvement – even without a conviction – fears his colleagues won't have a chance to take up his idea this session.
A group of Oklahoma prosecutors say a proposal to change the state's civil asset forfeiture process would hinder drug enforcement efforts in the state.
A Canadian County deputy's seizure of more than $25,000 in cash from a man and his father traveling I-40 turned into a four-year legal battle. The case raises questions about grounds and motives for search and seizure and whether a proposed law would benefit the illegal drug trade.
Nearly two-thirds of seizures of cash by Oklahoma law enforcement agencies come from blacks, Hispanics and other racial or ethnic minorities, an Oklahoma Watch analysis of high-dollar forfeiture cases in 10 counties shows.
We need better safeguards on civil forfeiture to protect innocent Oklahomans and avoid creating the wrong incentives that can distort the important work of law enforcement.
State Sen. Kyle Loveless has withdrawn his interim study on civil asset forfeiture after a committee chairman scheduled the meeting at a police outpost in Tulsa.
A state senator looking to change Oklahoma's laws that allow police to seize money or property believed to come from criminal activity is facing fierce opposition from law enforcement agencies that use the forfeited property to help fund their operations.

First launched in Atlanta, Dallas and San Antonio at NXTComm in June, AT&T Inc. has now expanded its Video Share service to 160 markets nationwide.
Video Share, which enables users to show people on the other end of the line what theyre looking at, requires a Video Share-capable handset and one of two Video Share service packages: $4.99 each month for 25 minutes of Video Share usage, or $9.99 each month for 60 minutes of usage. Alternatively, per-use charging is available for 35 cents per minute. The pricing is in addition to voice minute charges.
AT&T is billing Video Share as the first commercial IMS service in the United States. A SIP client on the handset talks to the application that resides in the core IMS-enabled part of the network, which also auto-detects if the user speaking to someone with the same client on his or her phone. It then prompts you that you are "video-share ready," and with a click, the one-way video stream (with audio) is enabled.
AT&T has said this is the lead-off service for what will be a full three-screen strategy of fixed-mobile convergence toward the end of the year people will be able to stream video to a PC, and eventually to a television.
The Partner Exchange portfolio just got deeper.
5G trials will begin later this year for both business customers and consumers.
She will expand the company's North American reseller and distributor base, and develop new opportunities to support partners in key vertical markets.
