TheStar.com | Sports | Grey Cup arrives at city hall
On hand to greet the Cup were a dozen fans, four times as many media and city hall's feral squirrels, which practically crawl up your leg in search of food. Amidst the fear, one was reminded of the words of Steve Coogan, "If it's between me and a crack squirrel, I will take that squirrel down. I will take that squirrel down to Chinatown." After being marched into council chambers by an honour guard, Mayor David Miller took over. The city's first citizen relived his fondest CFL moments and almost managed to make them seem unscripted. CFL commissioner Mark Cohon the praised the city's love for "Canada's national game." In his defence, he was born in Chicago. But in his offence, I was born in Toronto and I don't think America's national pastime is hockey. After that, Miller officially proclaimed this Grey Cup Week, which excited those fans to fits of shouting 'Go (Insert Winnipeg Blue Bombers or Saskatchewan Roughriders here)!' But when Miller finished his remarks with 'Go Riders,' the mood soured slightly.
IBM explores 67.1m-core computer for running entire internet
We'll hand it to IBM's researchers. They think big - really big. Like holy-crap-what-have-you-done big. The Register has unearthed a research paper that shows IBM working on a computing system capable "of hosting the entire internet as an application." This mega system relies on a re-tooled version of IBM's Blue Gene supercomputers so loved by the high performance computing crowd. IBM's researchers have proposed tweaking the Blue Gene systems to run today's most popular web applications such as Linux, Apache, MySQL and Ruby on Rails. .
DeepLinks Archives, January 2008
This week, along with our co-counsel, EFF filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings asking a U.S. District Court judge to throw out a copyright infringement suit brought by talk show host Michael Savage against the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Savage sued CAIR in December, alleging that CAIR infringed the copyright in his show when it posted on its web site brief excerpts from Savage's radio program in order to criticize Savage's remarks. Savage also added a federal racketeering claim stemming from that alleged copyright infringement. CAIR's use of the radio program excerpts is, of course, protected under the fair use doctrine. The Copyright Act specifically makes clear that third parties may utilize copyrighted works for purposes of commentary or criticism, as CAIR did in this case.
UIL realignment results in a tough 5A and a 3A baseball powerhouse
Calallen, Alice, Flour Bluff, Tuloso-Midway and Kingsville will put some miles on their buses as they travel between 100-150 miles to test their collective mettle against three Laredo teams that have been added into their district fray. And in District 31-3A, Sinton, Falfurrias and Robstown won't have to venture four rounds deep into the baseball playoffs to find competition -- it will be right there on the district schedule. Those are only some of the scenarios set into motion with Friday morning's announcement by the University Interscholastic League of its biennial realignment, a process guaranteed to produce interesting matchups. The UIL adjusts its districts, regions and classes for about 1,200 schools every two years based on enrollment figures collected from the Texas Education Agency.
