Re: [At-Large] Happy Labour Day! [Was: Happy Labor Day!]
by Alan Greenberg Sept. 4, 2012

Sept. 4, 2012

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Day) we seem to be the only ones that celebrate it on the first Monday in September. Most other countries later in the year or typically May 1. In this case, it is not pride in British spellings that caused me to say that "Labour" is the correct spelling. The concept of celebrating labour started in Canada and was emulated by the US (although it is unclear which made it a federal holiday first). Alan At 03/09/2012 05:20 PM, Salanieta T.

Dear All, I was reminded by someone in an email today that it is Labor Day in the US. I looked it up in Wikipedia and it says that *Labor Day* is an American federal holiday<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_holidays_in_the_United_States> observed on the first Monday in September (September 3 in 2012) that celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day] I would like to wish all members of At Large Worldwide a Happy Labor Day as I reflect on the massive economic and social contributions you make and continue to make for the greater good and in the name of global public interest as volunteers is indeed powerful and significant. I wish both the Staff and volunteers a very Happy Labor day! Kind Regards, -- Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro aka Sala P.O.

Members of United Stated Congress have approached the Department of Homeland Security in regards to domains that have been seized by the agency. In a letter directed to Attorney General Holder and Secretary Napolitano, the members question Homeland Security's procedures and jurisdiction when action is taken to bring down sites that may violate copyright laws. http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/3/3287392/congress-questions-homeland-securi… The letter : http://lofgren.house.gov/images/Letter_to_AG_Holder_083012.pdf ---- Dev Anand Teelucksingh

Survey: Many Believe “The Cloud” Requires a Rain Coat
by Carlton Samuels Aug. 31, 2012

Aug. 31, 2012

.....um, well, take this with a pinch of salt. 51% believe 'stormy weather would interfere with their cloud computing', the survey gasps! Here's where survey technique comes in play. For depending on the state of mind meaning of 'stormy weather' and even with a tenuous hold on the actual understanding of what cloud computing means, the assumption is defensible! An electrical storm in Washington State the other day caused problems for a couple Google and Amazon data centers that knocked several 'cloud services' offline for awhile. The least you could call these respondents is idiot savants.
