While bored in an airport recently, I pored over the magazines at a newsstand and noticed that the new Harvard Business Review (April 2008) has an article on open source. Curious to know how the corporate types view open source, I got hold of the issue - at my local library rather than paying the Harvard-style $16 cover price - and read it. Here are my impressions.

The 2006 mayoral election for Altus - where Gary Zolliecoffer thumped incumbent Veronica Post by a vote of 136 to 123 - is shaking up the political world. Zolliecoffer is accused of having violated state law by signing a pledge indicating he had never been convicted of a felony. Indeed, he was disqualified from office on the finding that he was convicted of burglary and grand larceny in 1965, when he was a mere lad, sixteen years of age. Zolliecoffer's attorney insists court files do not include a signed judgment and that there is no proof of a conviction. But, it is now reported that Zolliecoffer applied to a court for clemency in 2006, admitting to the crime in the accompanying paperwork. The Franklin County Election Commission has declared Zolliecoffer the official winner. But lawyers f

OK, I know it is damn difficult to trade with an up bias these days with this entire media constantly projecting nothing but gloomy outlooks. Mentioned in “about popular bearish sentiment”, by the time the uninformed crowd has mostly got on board with downside partiality, not much more selling pressure exists in the near term future.Sticking to the Freaking PlanMy own strategy called for bullish trades this week, but I ended up making a lot less than I should have due to distractions from the media. Projections about the jobless report earlier today made it particularly scary. Yet if I had ignored it all and stuck to the plan, my return this week would have resulted at least twice as much.Bad Economic Report, Up Stock IndexSo we have a whole lot of people on the unemployment line accor

You can now rule out the baseball field at Glen Cove High School as a place where it is safe for organized-crime figures to plot their racketeering activities.

I find it interesting how many in the world cannot or do not deal well with others who have strong convictions contrary to their own. This is especially true in the Christian community. Our culture has seeped in more than many realize. Are we to put a disclaimer saying, "this may not apply to every individual -- the Lord calls some to one thing and others to another," for people to be comfortable and to keep from being hit with the onslaught of accusations of judgmentalism??Firstly, I think that if we always preface things we disagree with or are not comfortable with by saying, " the Lord calls some to one thing and others to another," this really can simply be a cop-out. Where is the conviction in that? There is indeed absolute truth! To say otherwise is to take up the cultural manda

In an interview published in yesterday’s Jackson Free Press, Grisham says he met many wrongfully convicted people while researching the book, and “it doesn’t take too many conversations with men who are imprisoned and will probably never get out, who are innocent, to kind of flip you, to make you suddenly aware of this problem. That’s what happened to me.”It was Ron Williamson’s obituary in the Dec. 9, 2004, issue of The New York Times that caught attorney and author John Grisham’s eye.“It had all the elements of a novel,” Grisham said in an interview with the Jackson Free Press. “The small town Southern feel to it; the small town sport hero going off to make his mark in the major leagues and failing; a grizzly murder; a wrongful conviction; a trip to death row; insanit

I saw the following video on Daniel’s blog and, after watching it, immediately agreed that it’s so true that most of us nowadays do not really speak with conviction when it comes to defending our faith. Yea, you might see some people you know or have come across in the video. Perhaps you will even see yourself in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCNIBV87wV4 So why are we so afraid to speak our mind? I can think of two good reasons: (more…)

Peter Riddell, writing in the Times, reports on a new Populus poll and assesses whether Gordon Brown has met "key conditions for winning the next general election":The conditions are: first, to show that he could assume the mantle of prime minister and look convincing in the office; second, that he could offer the right blend of continuity and change from the Tony Blair years; and, third, to persuade voters that Labour is making a real difference to their lives.On the first, the Populus poll, undertaken on September 7 to 9, demonstrates that Mr Brown has established himself in his own right. More than half the public (53 per cent) agree that he has “succeeded in bringing a real feeling of renewal to the Labour Government”. This includes not only 76 per cent of Labour voters, but also 36 per cent of Tories. And, unlike before June 27, Mr Brown is clearly ahead of David Cameron as the preferred Prime Minister in Populus (by 55 to 36 per cent) and every other poll (54 to 21 per cent i

Acting on an emergency defense appeal, Louisiana’s Third Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the aggravated second-degree battery conviction of Mychal Bell, 17, ruling that the youth had been tried improperly as an adult. Mychal Bell, the first of the six black students to stand before a judge, was tried as an adult, convicted of aggravated second-degree battery, and was about to face up to 15 years in prison for beating up a white classmate. The September 2006 beating allegedly stems from an incident in which some white students hung nooses from a tree at the high school because black students sat under it. Bell has been in jail since December because he has been unable to post a $90,000 bond, unlike the other five students. Carwin Jones, Theo Shaw and Robert Bailey Jr, all initially charged with attempted-murder charges, now face aggravated-battery charges. An unidentified minor is being tried in juvenile courts. It has also been reported that District Attorney Reed Walters, will be

I am posting this entry to celebrate the return of DSL at home! (But not before two weeks of daily badgering of the Globe people in their 173 hotline and a subsequent promise of a technical support onsite visit which never happened anyway.) I was about to move on from commenting about Erap if not for this: this morning I was able to pass by and sit down for a while in a lecture-forum on Trillanes with Dr. Dodong Nemenzo as speaker. In the open forum, he mentioned quite a bit about the Erap conviction - echoing the line pursued by the camp of his old friend. (more…)

Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 NKJVI have been convicted of my sin. One of them anyway. You see I have 4 wonderful children that shape my life everyday. Perhaps, even more than I shape theirs, sometimes. Recently, my eldest daughter, who is 14, asked my husband about something we both do that is a sin. About why we do it, if we know it is a sin. (By the way, that sin is continuing to smoke, though we both know it is something we should not do. We both know that we are dirtying up our "temple," and we have both been led by the Spirit that quitting is something we most certainly should do. And yet we haven't. The other reason that this is a sin is that any addiction will become your Master. The bible teaches us that we are to have one Master in our lives and that is God. This is the other reason it is sinful.)We both know it is bad for us, and we both know to continue is a sin. So why do we do it??? We are both

Ubisoft has announced that they have delayed the release of the latest game in their stealth-action series, Splinter Cell: Conviction, till 2008 (sometime between January and March). The game is the latest in a long line of Xbox 360 exclusives (although it’s also scheduled for release on PC) and it aims to reinvent the Splinter Cell saga. In the game, you once again take on the role of Sam Fisher, only this time you are a fugitive and you’re being ruthlessly hunted by the very government you once served. The key to your survival is to improvise, adapt and overcome as you wander through crowds in broad daylight! To survive, you must build an underground network of allies who will help you obtain hi-tech gadgets and stay one step ahead of your pursuers as you struggle to unmask the forces that want you dead. Splinter Cell Conviction will deliver an adrenaline rush of game play with blood-pumping chase sequences, close combat and intense gun battles. See Splinter Cell: Convicti

The music for the 5th Splinter Cell game, Conviction, will be composed by Kaveh Cohen and Michael Nielsen in association with Groove Addicts. This marks Groove Addicts first foray in original scoring for interactive gaming, an initiative for the company spearheaded by GA’s Business Development team, led by Mike Zarin and J.P. Rahmann. First or not, it seems these guys know what they’re doing as Ubisoft Montreal’s Technical & Artistic Director of Audio Simon Pressey is happy: “It’s the most definitive music I have heard to date for the series. I would go so far to call it ‘classic Splinter Cell.’ ” Groove Addicts’ Zarin concurs: ”We are ecstatic to be involved with this incredible Ubisoft AAA franchise. The fact that this is our first game says a lot about the caliber of music we at Groove Addicts work so very hard to deliver everyday. Michael Nielsen and Kaveh Cohen have a rare knack to consistently create great music in a timely man

HOUSTON -- A Texas appellate court on Thursday let stand the conviction of Shaquanda Cotton, the black teenager from the small east Texas town of Paris whose sentence of up to seven years in youth prison for pushing a hall monitor at her high school provoked national criticism and fueled allegations of racial discrimination in the town's schools and courts.The Sixth Appellate District Court in Texarkana denied the 16-year-old's appeal of her March, 2006, conviction for assault on a public servant and turned aside her claim that she received ineffective assistance from her defense lawyer at her trial in juvenile court before Lamar County Judge Chuck Superville.The appeals court decision has no immediate impact on the teenager, who was ordered released in late March by a special conservator in charge of the state's juvenile justice agency after she had served one year of her sentence. Her case rose to national prominence after it was featured in a March 12 Tribune story, which noted
