Not a German Boxing World Champion Today

Brewster was indeed a little better than Luan Krasniqi in the 8th and 9th rounds. Heavyweight means that one second of not paying attention and the steam hammer comes. And he took two of them. Really exciting fight. In the first 7 rounds, everything was still open. Brewster really had to defend his world title.

HH-CDU and Democracy? Not really.

Because the CDU is changing the electoral law and the composition of the districts - and against a citizens' vote:

The SPD, GAL, and the initiative "More Democracy" reacted with outrage to the Union's plans, which can be decided by a simple majority in the Bürgerschaft. The vote of the Hamburg citizens in the referendum had been clear, said SPD state chairman Mathias Petersen. The SPD interior expert Andreas Dressel spoke of a "renewed moral breach of the constitution". Referendums were apparently only followed, "when the gentlemen Beust and Fischer have no objections".

Open Dylan

Open Dylan is ex-Harlequin Dylan, ex-Functional Developer - an integrated environment for Dylan programming and a library of various classes for different purposes - open-sourced some time ago and now available as the first beta for download for Linux and Windows.

I would prefer if Apple would release Apple Dylan, because its development environment was really light years ahead of everything else on the market, but that will probably never happen - rather there will be an OS X version of Open Dylan. Also quite nice.
