SL being what SL is with the social aspect requires that Linden Lab keep those records for, at least, any time frame required by some law enforcement authority. For instance, if something occurs in SL and the actions are done by one or more of the residents of SL and it at later comes to the attention of some law enforcement agency those law enforcement folks are going to want (and have the authority to demand) those records. Yes, LL logs everything that can be logged and keeps those logs for as long as necessary to protect both Linden Lab and it's residents. Why would you ever think otherwise?

When these little arguments come up it is nice to know there is a place to go and get the right answer than hearing a bunch of people that really don't know. Trust me I have no intention of asking such a question as a paying customer to do something stupid lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When middling people hear of the Way, it sometimes seems to be there, sometimes not. When lesser people hear of the Way, they ridicule it greatly. If they didn’t laugh at it, it wouldn’t be the Way. So there are constructive sayings […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #41: “If they didn’t laugh at it, it wouldn’t be the Way”" 29 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #40: “The Tao moves the other way, the Tao works through weakness” Return is the movement of the Way; yielding is the function of the Way. All things in the world are born of being; being is born of nonbeing. – Thomas Cleary The Tao moves the other way, the Tao works through weakness the things of this world come from something something comes from nothing […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #40: “The Tao moves the other way, the Tao works through weakness”" 28 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #39: “Attaining unity” When unity was attained of old, heaven became clear by attaining unity, earth became steady by attaining unity, spirit was quickened by attaining unity, valley streams quickened by attaining unity, all beings were born filled by attaining unity; and by attaining unity lords acted rightly for the sake of the world. What brought this about […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #39: “Attaining unity”" 27 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #38: “Virtue comes after loss of the Way” Higher virtue is not ingratiating; that is why it has virtue. Lower virtue does not forget about reward; that is why is it virtueless. Higher virtue is uncontrived, and there is no way to contrive it. Lower virtue is created, and there is a way to do it. Higher humanity is created, but there is […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #38: “Virtue comes after loss of the Way”" 26 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #37: “By not wanting, there is calm, and the world will straighten itself” The Way is always uncontrived, yet there’s nothing it doesn’t do. If lords and monarchs could keep to it, all being would evolve spontaneously. When they have evolved and want to act, I would stabilize them with nameless simplicity. Even nameless simplicity would not be wanted. By not wanting, there is calm, and the world […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #37: “By not wanting, there is calm, and the world will straighten itself”" 25 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #36: “Flexibility and yielding overcome adamant coerciveness” Should you want to contain something, you must deliberately let it expand. Should you want to weaken something, you must deliberately let it grow strong. Should you want to eliminate something, you must deliberately allow it to flourish. Should you want to take something away, you must deliberately grant it. This is called subtle illumination.

Where there is music and dining, passing travelers stop; but the issue of the Way is so plain as to be flavorless. When you look at it, it is invisible; when you listen to it, it is inaudible; when […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #35: “the Tao speaks plain words that make no sense … yet we use it without end”" 23 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #34: “Therefore sages never contrive greatness; that is why they can become so great.” The Great Way is universal; it can apply to the left or the right. All beings depend on it for life, and it does not refuse. Its accomplishments fulfilled, it does not dwell on them. It lovingly nurtures all beings, but does not act as their ruler. As it has no desire, it can be […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #34: “Therefore sages never contrive greatness; that is why they can become so great.”" 22 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #33: “Those who know others are wise; those who know themselves are enlightened.” Those who know others are wise; those who know themselves are enlightened. Those who overcome others are powerful; those who overcome themselves are strong. Those who are contented are rich; those who act strongly have will. Those who do not lose their place endure; those who die without perishing live long. – Thomas Cleary […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #33: “Those who know others are wise; those who know themselves are enlightened.”" 21 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #32: “The Way is essentially nameless” The Way is essentially nameless. Though simplicity is small, the world cannot subordinate it. If lords and monarchs can keep to it, all beings will naturally resort to them. Heaven and earth combine, thus showering sweet dew. No humans command it; it is even by nature. Start fashioning, and there are names; once names also […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #32: “The Way is essentially nameless”" 20 Sep 2017 8 Apr 2022 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #31: “Weapons are the tools of violence; all decent men detest them” Fine weapons are implements of ill omen: people may despise them, so those with the Way do not dwell with them. Therefore the place of honor for the cultured is on the left, while the honored place for the martialist is on the right. Weapons, being instruments of ill omen, are not the tools of […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #31: “Weapons are the tools of violence; all decent men detest them”" 19 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #30: “do not coerce the world with weapons” Those who assist human leadership with the Way do not coerce the world with weapons, for these things are apt to backfire. Brambles grow where an army has been; there are always bad years after a war. Therefore the good are effective, that is all; they do not presume to grab power thereby: they are […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #30: “do not coerce the world with weapons”" 18 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #29: “Should you want to take this world” Should you want to take this world, and contrive to do so, I see you won’t manage to finish. The most sublime instrument in the world cannot be contrived. Those who contrive spoil it; those who cling lose it. So creatures sometimes go and sometimes follow, sometimes puff and sometimes blow, are sometimes strong and […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #29: “Should you want to take this world”" 17 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #28: “Know the male, keep the female” Know the male, keep the female; be humble toward the world. But humble to the world, and eternal power never leaves, returning again to innocence. Knowing the white, keep the black; be an exemplar for the world. Be an exemplar for the world, and eternal power never goes awry, returning again to infinity. Knowing the […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #28: “Know the male, keep the female”" 16 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #27: “Good works are trackless” “Good works are trackless” Good works are trackless, good words are flawless, good planning isn’t calculating. What is well closed has no bolt locking it, but cannot be opened. What is well bound has no rope confining it, but cannot be untied. Therefore sages always consider it good to save people, so that there are […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #27: “Good works are trackless”" 15 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #26: “Gravity is the root of lightness” Gravity is the root of lightness; calm is the master of excitement. Thereby do exemplary people travel all day without leaving their equipment. Though they have a look of prosperity, their resting place is transcendent. What can be done about heads of state who take the world lightly in their own self-interest? Lack of gravity […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #26: “Gravity is the root of lightness”" 14 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #25: “Something undifferentiated was born before heaven and earth” Something undifferentiated was born before heaven and earth; still and silent, standing alone and unchanging, going through cycles unending, able to be mother to the world. I do not know its name; I label it the Way. Imposing on it a great name, I call it Great. Greatness means it goes; going means reaching afar; […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #25: “Something undifferentiated was born before heaven and earth”" 13 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #24: “Those on tiptoe don’t stand up” Those on tiptoe don’t stand up, those who take long strides don’t walk; those who see themselves are not perceptive, those who assert themselves are not illustrious; those who glorify themselves have no merit, those who are proud of themselves do not last. On the Way, these are called overconsumption and excess activity. Some people […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #24: “Those on tiptoe don’t stand up”" 12 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #23: “To speak rarely is natural” To speak rarely is natural. That is why a gusty wind doesn’t last the morning, a downpour of rain doesn’t last the day. Who does this? Heaven and earth. If even heaven and earth cannot go on forever, how much less can human beings! Therefore those who follow the Way assimilate to the Way; the […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #23: “To speak rarely is natural”" 11 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #22: “Be tactful and you remain whole” Be tactful and you remain whole; bend and you remain straight. The hollow is filled, the old is renewed. Economy is gain, excess is confusion. Therefore sages embrace unity as a model for the world. Not seeing themselves, they are therefore clear. Not asserting themselves, they are therefore meritorious. Not taking pride in themselves, they […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #22: “Be tactful and you remain whole”" 10 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #21: “For the countenance of great virtue” For the countenance of great virtue, only the Way is to be followed. As a thing, the Way is abstract and elusive: elusive and abstract, there are images in it; abstract and elusive, there is something there. Recondite, hidden, it has vitality therein: that vitality is very real; it has truth therein. From ancient times […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #21: “For the countenance of great virtue”" 9 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #20: “Detach from learning and you have no worries” Detach from learning and you have no worries. How far apart are yes and yeah? How far apart are good and bad? The things people fear cannot but be feared. Wild indeed the uncentered! Most people celebrate as if they were barbequing a slaughtered cow, or taking in the springtime vistas; I alone am aloof, […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #20: “Detach from learning and you have no worries”" 8 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #19: “Eliminate sagacity, abandon knowledge” Eliminate sagacity, abandon knowledge, and the people benefit a hundredfold. Eliminate humanitarianism, abandon duty, and the people return to familial love. Eliminate craft, abandon profit, and theft will no longer exist. These three become insufficient when used for embellishment causing there to be attachments. See the basic, embrace the unspoiled, lessen selfishness, diminish desire. – […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #19: “Eliminate sagacity, abandon knowledge”" 7 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #18: “When the Great Way is deserted” When the Great Way is deserted, then there is humanitarian duty. When intelligence comes forth, there is great fabrication. When relations are discordant, then there is family love. When the national polity is benighted and confused, then there are loyal ministers. – Thomas Cleary When the Great Way disappears we meet kindness and justice […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #18: “When the Great Way is deserted”" 6 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #17: “Very great leaders in their domains” Very great leaders in their domains are only known to exist. Those next best are beloved and praised. The lesser are feared and despised. Therefore when faith is insufficient and there is disbelief, it is from the high value placed on words. Works are accomplished, tasks are completed, and ordinary folk all say they are […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #17: “Very great leaders in their domains”" 5 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #16: “Attain the climax of emptiness” Attain the climax of emptiness, preserve the utmost quiet: as myriad things act in concert, I thereby observe the return. Things flourish, then each returns to its root. Returning to the root is called stillness: stillness is called return to Life, return to Life is called the constant; knowing the constant is called enlightenment. Acts […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #16: “Attain the climax of emptiness”" 4 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #15: “Skilled warriors of old were subtle” Skilled warriors of old were subtle, mysteriously powerful, so deep they were unknowable. Just because they are unknowable, I will try to describe them. Their wariness was as that of one crossing a river in winter, their caution was as that of one in fear of all around; their gravity was as that of a […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #15: “Skilled warriors of old were subtle”" 3 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #14: “What you don’t see when you look” What you don’t see when you look is called the unobtrusive. What you don’t hear when you listen is called the rarefied. What you don’t get when you grasp is called the subtle. These three cannot be completely fathomed, so they merge into one; above is not bright, below is not dark. Continuous, unnamable, it […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #14: “What you don’t see when you look”" 2 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #13: “Favor and disgrace seem alarming” Favor and disgrace seem alarming; high status greatly afflicts your person. What are favor and disgrace? Favor is the lower: get it and you’re surprised, lose it and you’re startled. This means favor and disgrace are alarming. Why does high status greatly affect your person? The reason we have a lot of trouble is that […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #13: “Favor and disgrace seem alarming”" 1 Sep 2017 10 Aug 2021 Tim Miller Tao Te Ching #12: “Colors blind people’s eyes” Colors blind people’s eyes, sounds deafen their ears; flavors spoil people’s palates, the chase and the hunt craze people’s minds; goods hard to obtain make people’s actions harmful. Therefore sages work for the middle and not the eyes, leaving the latter and taking the former. – Thomas Cleary The five colors make our eyes […] Continue Reading "Tao Te Ching #12: “Colors blind people’s eyes”" Robinson Jeffers: 10 Essential Poems - Human Voices Wake Us Please consider supporting Human Voices Wake us by clicking here.

Small Victory Against NSA: Amendment Says NIST No Longer Has To Consult NSA On Standards
from the it's-a-step dept
These are serious allegations. NIST, which falls solely under the jurisdiction of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, has been given "the mission of developing standards, guidelines, and associated methods and techniques for information systems". To violate that charge in a manner that would deliberately lessen encryption standards, and willfully diminish American citizens' and business' cyber-security, is appalling and warrants a stern response by this Committee. Many businesses, from Facebook to Google, have lamented the NSA's actions in the cyber world; and some, such as Lavabit, have consciously decided to shut their doors rather than continue to comply with the wishes of the NSA. Changes need to be made at NIST to protect its work in the encryption arena.
Even as major NSA reform appears to have become a cruel joke , there are still some small wins happening elsewhere. As noted by Access, the House Science and Technology Committee adopted an amendment to the FIRST Act (Frontiers in Innovation, Research, Science, and Technology -- which is supposed to be about increasing funding in science and technology) that says the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) no longer has to consult with the NSA on encryption standards.As you may recall, the NSA secretly took over an encryption standard, purposely weakened it, paid RSA to make it a "default" in one of its products and basically weakened everyone's security. NIST has been dealing with the consequences ever since.The Amendment, authored by Rep. Alan Grayson, would mean that NIST can skip dealing with the NSA altogether. As Grayson noted in a statement

A group of immigrants wave goodbye as they are deported, 1952. (Photo: Library of Congress)
On November 17, 1950 famed Hungarian-born violinist Joseph Szigeti arrived in New York City to begin an American concert tour. Szigeti was no stranger to the United States, having already toured the U.S. over two dozen times. But within minutes of his arrival, immigration officials removed him from his ship and delivered the bad news—the U.S. Department of Justice had refused his admission into the United States. Officials quickly carted Szigeti to a detention site familiar to nearly all Americans—a 27.5 acre piece of land in Upper New York Bay known as Ellis Island.
“It makes me a prisoner,” the bewildered 58-year-old musician, a California resident for the previous nine years, told the New York Times, “What have I done?”
At the time, Szigeti’s case was far from exceptional. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Ellis Island became a de facto prison for an improbable mix of immigrants, visitors, displaced persons, political dissidents, and refugees from across the globe. Caught up in the sweeping paranoia of the Cold War, the majority of Ellis Island’s denizens were suspected communists, incarcerated at the immigration port while the United States undertook lengthy, and often secretive, reviews of evidence against them.
These immigrants and foreign nationals remained trapped on Ellis Island for months and even years. And much like Szigeti, many never knew the exact charges against them or the specific evidence the Immigration and Naturalization Service used to detain them. As Szigeti’s lawyer reported, they had no idea what was in the Department of Justice files, making it particularly difficult to craft a defense of their client. This pattern of restricted civil liberties was born in the World Wars, but found surprising staying power as the United States entered the 1950s and confronted new ideological demons.

This, of course, runs contrary to the popular vision of Ellis Island. The site has occupied, and continues to occupy, a revered place in the national imagination—it’s estimated that around a third of the U.S. population today can trace family to the New York City port. The most common images of the site come from the early years of the 20th century, when immigration from Europe was relatively unrestricted, and immigrants from across the Atlantic poured into the United States with ease.
But this is far from the full story. In 2016, America continues to grapple with many of the same issues that plagued it at Ellis Island—what are the rights of those who come to the U.S.? What constitutes “acceptable risk” in admitting the foreign-born? What does due process look like for those jailed in the U.S. yet not charged with criminal acts?
Ellis Island is not a simple symbol of American opportunity—the proverbial golden door had a very tight lock.
‘You can see Miss Liberty from your window but she can’t see you’
Ellis Island did not become a detention center overnight. Even as the beacon of America’s open doors, the site was rarely without controversy in its 50-plus years of operation. But the image of it being a way station, not a holding cell, is factually accurate—prior to 1921. Before then, officials allowed nearly all European immigrants who arrived at Ellis Island to enter the United States; only one to two percent were excluded each year, usually on the basis of illness or their risk of becoming “a public charge” in America. For the vast majority of immigrants, Ellis Island was a quick pit stop on their journey to the U.S.
The role of Ellis Island changed in 1921, when Congress established national quotas capping how many immigrants could come from each country in the Western Hemisphere. Immigrants who came in excess of their nation’s quota (most commonly immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe) could be detained on Ellis Island until officials arranged for their return. It was then that the island began to transition from straightforward processing point to something murkier.
According to Ellis Island Commissioner I.F. Wilson in 1931, the changing immigration rules represented “a complete reversion.”
“Whereas previously it was regarded as the gateway to America, it is now the port of expulsion,” he wrote, “our Law Division and Deporting Division are the two most important at the Station.”

The World Wars posed a particular challenge for the island. If the United States sent a deportation steamship across the Atlantic during a war, there was a fair chance it could receive unwanted attention from a military submarine. As a result, maritime safety issues forced the United States to temporarily hit the brakes on trans-Atlantic removals at a time when paranoia about the “enemy alien” was higher than ever. Though the story of the Japanese internment has become increasingly well known, it’s perhaps less recognized that the U.S. also incarcerated significant numbers of visitors and residents from other countries that the United States was fighting. Ellis Island, with its large dining halls and good-enough dormitories, was prime internment real estate.
For instance, four days after Pearl Harbor, 413 German “enemy aliens” found themselves in detention at Ellis Island—many were accused of affiliation with the Nazi Party, and would stay there for the duration of the war. At the peak years of wartime internment, Ellis Island held between 1,600 and 1,800 people, primarily from Germany, Italy, and Japan.
By the end of World War II, memories of Ellis Island as a joyous port of entry were a hazy memory; the New York Times reported that, to the contrary, “the Island’s name had become a symbol for being unwanted by America.”
The Ties that Bind
With the war over, most Americans assumed that Ellis Island’s role as a detention center would come to an end. Ships could traverse the Atlantic once again, and most of the remaining detainees could be safely deported to Europe. But rather than a return to normalcy, paranoia about foreign influences and communist subversion triggered even more detentions.
In 1950, Congress passed the Internal Security Act, over the veto of a very unhappy President Truman. The law marked a new era in anti-communist hysteria, and made nearly every foreign-born person, both visitors and immigrants, a suspected subversive. Under the new policy, the United States would deny entry for any alien “who holds or has held membership or has been affiliated with any totalitarian or Communist organization,” formalizing a policy that had existed in practice since the end of the war. The director of Immigration Service informed the New York Times that it was “immaterial” how long ago or for what amount of time the alien was affiliated with such a political group—“A connection that was broken after even a single day is as binding as one that lasted for a period of years.”

What this meant in practice was that entire steamships of immigrants coming from nations like Italy—where one would be hard pressed to find anyone without a fleeting “affiliation” to their nation’s totalitarian government—all now faced extended detentions at Ellis Island. An Italian opera singer named Fedora Barbiei was detained at Ellis Island after admitting that she attended a Fascist school as a child—effectively debarring any Italian who received an education during the years of the Fascist regime. Two weeks after the legislation passed, Ellis Island officials were holding nearly 1,000 foreign detainees, hailing from countries as disparate as Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Cuba, Germany, and Italy.
If the term “affiliation” seems a little vague, that’s because it was. Immigration officials had broad discretionary power in determining what constituted an “affiliation,” and immigrants had little recourse to protest their exclusions. Since the Supreme Court had long held that deportation was “not punishment for a crime,” those being detained and sent back across oceans had no right to legal representation or a trial by jury. Though immigration officials always had enormous amounts of power to make decisions about who would be let in, in earlier years those decisions were about who had enough money, who entered the country with a job, and who was visibly ill. Now the same officials were conducting extensive, invasive interrogations about foreigners’ political pasts, often with minimal training.
Friends in High Places
In you were unlucky enough to arouse the suspicion of immigration officials, it helped to have powerful friends on call. The musician Szigeti, for instance, as a well-known public figure, was able to get his papers expedited from Washington, D.C. and the backlash to his detention was almost immediate. Newspaper editorials called out “Ellis Island Horseplay” labeling the security protocol “ridiculous” and the ongoing detention of foreigners like Sziegti a “national embarrassment.” His detention was brief, and within six days of arriving on American shores he was conducting an orchestra in Pittsburgh. Most other detainees would not fare so well. The New York Times reported that immigration authorities “declined to say” why Szigeti was detained and “made no explanation concerning his release, either.”
In 1948, the U.S. government detained a Nobel Prize winning scientist at Ellis Island, who just so happened to be Marie Curie’s daughter. Irene Joilot-Curie was also, conveniently, a close friend of Albert Einstein. It was later revealed in the FBI’s 1,800 page file on Albert Einstein (the U.S. heavily suspected Einstein was a foreign intelligence agent) that he had personally telegrammed authorities to express dismay at Joilot-Curie’s detention, and encouraged other American scientists to do likewise. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Joilot-Curie was released in under 48 hours.
As a general rule, the less paperwork you brought to Ellis Island, the more trouble you were in—since the vast majority of people arriving in the post-war years were “displaced persons,” many of whom had been on the run from extreme violence and persecution. Proper paperwork was often a distant dream. The average detention at the island was about eight to ten days, but stories abounded of immigrants stuck in immigration purgatory for months and even years. In 1953, the Los Angeles Times reported on the story of Karl-Heinz Pfeiffer, a 17 year-old Polish teenager who fled his home country, and walked westward through the dead of night for several days until he reached West Germany. Once in Frankfurt, the teenager snuck onto the (heated, pressurized) cargo compartment of a Pan American plane bound for New York City. He arrived on Ellis Island without a scrap of paperwork or proof of identity.

A year later, Pfeiffer was in exactly the same place—a dormitory on the island, while the U.S. tried to determine what to do next. The Times opined that there “was a time when a shrewd examiner, looking at him and hearing reports of his cheerfulness to work during his exile on Ellis Island might have thought; It’s a big country, let the country swallow him and he will serve her well.” But things were different in 1953. The Times assessed his chances of becoming an American in the midst of the Cold War were “roughly the chance of a snowball’s chance in August.” As immigration law became more punitive, officers had more discretion to exclude and deport, but less freedom to make exceptions. When in doubt, they erred on the side of exclusion.
Managing Ellis Island
The post-war years were a tough time to be in charge of Ellis Island. The question of whether Ellis Island was a prison created significant tension for immigration administrators trying to explain the site’s changing role to the public. “The people detained here are not criminals. That’s the first thing I teach my security officers,” Ellis Island Chief Phillip Forman told the Reading Eagle in 1951.
Representatives of the immigration service highlighted the relatively humane conditions in which the detainees were held, arguing that the site was more a “self-contained city” than the “concentration camp” its opponents labeled it. The island had some amenities: a chapel, a post office, laundry service, and a kindergarten and playroom for children. Single men stayed in “bachelor’s quarters” with six beds to a room, while families received rooms of their own with beds, drawers, and a chair. Reports proliferated of women attempting to make the dormitories more livable—hanging up lace curtains from their luggage or scrubbing the decades of grime off the rooms. A 1950 newspaper photograph showed a woman bent over an ironing board, with the caption “LIFE GOES ON: Detention in Ellis Island does not deter housewives from the family ironing.”

The highlight of a day in detention was the mail call, where detainees received letters, and the library call, where detainees were allowed to visit an on-site library operated by the Salvation Army. The library had more than 20,000 books, alongside newspapers and magazines in many languages—commissioners reported that the most popular selections were fiction and books about art. There was also a commissary selling candy, soda, cigarettes, stamps, and stationary from which immigrants could purchase additional goods.
But despite the distractions, it was hard to combat the suffocating monotony of weeks in detention. “When the weather is good, men and women tramp endlessly up and down the yard with the fixedness of people who don’t like to admit they’re not going anywhere,” wrote one journalist in 1950. Ellis Island’s yard had a sweeping view of the Manhattan skyline, which detainees would peer at through the high wire-mesh fence that surrounded the site. “Here was a subtle torture,” a writer for the New York Herald Tribune opined, “for inmates could divert themselves for days with this picture postcard view of the Promised Land while reflecting that this might be as close as they’d ever get.”

In an attempt to garner more favorable press coverage of the island, officials paraded journalists through the facilities on an annual basis. Reports came back mixed. In 1948, a journalist reported that German detainees had engulfed reporters attempting to plead their cases and declaring their “love for democracy.” Multiple news outlets reported that the detainees yelled to the reporters that the conditions and food had been temporarily improved to impress the media. Other times the press tours seemed to be veering into bribery—before a 1949 tour, all reporters were given a filet mignon lunch at the island’s cafeteria. When reporters inquired if this was the kind of food the detainees received, the Ellis Island Commissioner laughed at the absurdity of the question, responding, “There are only so many filets to a steer.” (Translation: No.)
Much like the second Red Scare itself, detention at Ellis Island had fierce critics and adamant defenders—those who claimed every detainee was a communist, and those who claimed few were, those who argued the conditions were sub-human, and those who argued the island was better than many Manhattan hotels. The reality was likely somewhere in the middle. One journalist who had been critical of the lengthy detentions and shaky legal precedents conceded that “(unarmed) guards, freedom of communication, second helpings at mealtime, a school for children, a hospital for the sick, a constant effort on the part of officials to make themselves approachable” all indicated that the United States “(was) not aping Hitler’s concentration camp methods.” Faint praise indeed.
‘America’s Own Concentration Camp’
Excluded aliens did not quietly accept their fate at Ellis Island. Resistance by immigrants took many forms, but one of the most dramatic (and enduring) means of protest was the hunger strike.
A 1948 hunger strike orchestrated by Gerhart Eisler, a man U.S. officials described as the “brains” of the Communist party in the United States, became a particularly lively media circus. Eisler, along with four other labor organizers detained on Ellis Island, refused to eat for nearly six days, arguing that as legal residents of the United States, they had a right to bail rather than detention while the government reviewed their deportation cases. For six days, they drank only water, as the media published a steady stream of articles speculating over whether they had a secret food supply. After nearly a week, the court relented and released four of the five men on $3,500 bail each.
Hunger strikes galvanized activists, triggered media attention, and in the case of Eisler and company, got them the legal results they wanted. “I can’t eat. I’m not concerned with food. I’m more concerned with freedom,” one protester crowed to reporters.

Other detainees tried to channel their idle time into more ambitious political projects. C.L.R. James, a prominent historian and social theorist from Trinidad, spent nearly six months on Ellis Island, where he worked for 12 hours a day on a critical literary analysis of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. James sent a copy of his manuscript to every member of Congress, hoping it would cement his credentials as an intellectual and forestall his deportation orders. He also included a request for $1 to put toward his legal defense fund. Unfortunately, most congressmen were confused as to why they were receiving a book about Moby Dick from a detained Caribbean immigrant. The United States deported James in 1953. (Perhaps James got the last laugh: his Melville tome was re-released in 2001, with the New York Times hailing it as a “170-page amalgam of brilliant critical analysis and desperate personal pleading…evidence of a major James revival now under way.”)
Though excluded foreigners had no right to a trial, many received one anyway thanks to the relentless work of immigrant advocacy organizations. Both the ACLU and the American Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born (ACPFB) organized legal and political campaigns that sought to bring immigrants’ cases to court, far away from the discretionary authority of the Ellis Island officers. They also worked to provoke a sense of public outrage about the perceived injustices at the NYC port. These organizations frequently used the language of civil liberties and suggested that anti-communist crusaders were dismantling the Bill of Rights. They also relied heavily on the “slippery slope” argument—first the government arbitrarily detains immigrants, but next they’ll arbitrarily detain you, the citizen.
The organizations insisted that unchecked federal power and suppression of free speech was a threat to all Americans. Many people bought into this idea—they arranged letter writing campaigns, sponsored fancy dinners with formerly detained speakers, and even produced plays about the plight of detained foreigners. Sometimes these organizations argued that the people on Ellis Island were being falsely accused of communist affiliation, but even more frequently the advocates argued that it didn’t matter if these people were communists—political ideology was irrelevant to legal rights. In the context of the Cold War, this was a bold, progressive, and extremely contentious argument.

Immigrant advocates paired the language of rights with inflammatory accusations of injustice. One of their most devastating claims was that Ellis Island was “America’s concentration camp.” Unsurprisingly, the term became a particularly blistering critique in the wake of World War II, and the ACPFB used the comparison in almost every publication. Activists also deployed comparisons to the Nazis to highlight the discriminatory nature of U.S. immigration law, which explicitly favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe. “We fought a war to destroy the Nazi myth of racial superiority,” one ACPFB pamphlet proclaimed, “But the ghost of that racial myth still lives—in the immigration laws of the United States of America.”
Even more concerning in the midst of the Cold War was that America’s allies and enemies both had some big questions about what was going on at the NYC port. Why were such large numbers of their countrymen being imprisoned with no trial and no formal charges? “The wholesale detention of Italians on Ellis Island,” wrote one foreign correspondent, “is interpreted as an insult to the Italian people and an affront to the national pride.” Italian newspapers flashed headlines like “Absurdities of an American Law” and “Spy Mania of America,” while embassies from Sweden to France petitioned the U.S. for the release of their citizens.
Closing Ellis Island and the End of Detention
Ellis Island shut its doors in 1954, after processing over 20 million immigrants. There were many reasons for the island’s eventual decline—fewer and fewer immigrants were moving through the port and the island’s buildings were in total disrepair. But on top of this, public opinion about the island had become more critical than ever. When a 1953 Supreme Court case determined that if deportation was not an option, an immigrant could be detained on Ellis Island forever, many Americans saw it as the final straw.
In the wake of the closure, government officials went on the record saying that a regrettable period of immigration law enforcement was over. The 1952 McCarran-Walter Act made detention “the exception, not the rule” and created a new policy where most deportees would be released under parole rather than detained. Supreme Court Justice Tom C. Clark clarified that detention of aliens would be “employed only as to security risks or those likely to abscond” and added, “certainly this policy reflects the humane qualities of an enlightened civilization.”

But in November 1954, mere weeks after the government shuttered Ellis Island, the New York Times reported that the remaining detainees had been moved off of the island and into local jails—a far cry from the “new policy of administering the immigration laws humanely” that the INS had trumpeted. The case of whether people who broke immigration law could be held among “common criminals” generated an outpouring of public concern. One letter to the Times held that “the conditions at Ellis Island, which was virtually a prison, were bad enough; but to send incoming visitors to our shores…to jails is an insult of the most serious kind.” Capitalizing on Cold War tensions, the writer speculated, “What an uproar would take place if Americans arriving in the U.S.S.R. were to be accorded similar treatment.”
Yet again, it was the intervention of a famous person that got results. Pearl Buck, author of The Good Earth, wrote a letter to the media denouncing the jailing policy and triggering multiple congressmen to launch investigations into the prison conditions. Within weeks the Sheriff of Westchester demanded that the INS halt the practice of placing foreign detainees in his county’s prison facilities. The remaining detainees were moved to an office building in Lower Manhattan. Despite their hopes to the contrary, the closure of Ellis Island was not a silver bullet for immigrant advocates seeking an end to detention.
So what would become of the island? Its role as a national heritage site was far from predestined. In the years after its closure, the federal government fielded bids to buy the island. The largest came from a New York builder, Sol G. Atlas, who planned to convert the site into a $55 million luxury resort called Pleasure Island, a “Miami Beach of the North.” As the developer envisioned it, the island would feature a 600-room hotel, swimming pools, a drive-in movie theatre, and a marina—plus, as homage to the island’s history, a Museum of New Americans and a language school. City and state officials also seriously considered a plan to turn the site into a hospital for narcotics addicts, before deciding it might look questionable to isolate addicts on an island.

Ellis Island’s fate hung in the balance until 1965, when President Johnson designated the station a part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument. That same year, Johnson signed a law eliminating immigration quotas and marking a significant liberalization of U.S. immigration law.
Today, Ellis Island’s role as a site of mass exclusion and deportation is largely overlooked. Admittedly, the number of people passing through dropped over the years. At its peak, Ellis Island was examining and admitting as many as 5,000 immigrants a day; this number had plummeted by the Second World War. But the emphasis on the island’s early years is also a political decision. A country that has long embraced the self-image of a “nation of immigrants” relied on Ellis Island as a symbol of all that is good about our immigrant past. As the Cold War raged on through the 1960s, Ellis Island became almost hallowed ground, with the immigrant as a heroic liberty-seeker, finding freedom and opportunity beneath the Statue of Liberty. The flip side, a complex tale of hunger strikes, political interrogations, and fierce debates over civil liberties was not necessarily the narrative visitors to New York City sought.
Meanwhile, detention has reemerged as a critical tool of 21st century immigration authorities. The U.S. government currently detains over 400,000 people a year who are awaiting deportation hearings. These immigrants and asylum seekers sit in detention centers, county jails, and federal prisons throughout the country for weeks to years, caught in an all-too-familiar legal limbo. If we can forget what happened at the most famous immigration site in American history, Ellis Island, it’s no surprise that we hear so little about the conditions in our detention centers today.

BRONCOS VS RABBITOHS
7.50pm Friday at Suncorp Stadium
Broncos: Brisbane got through their 53-0 belting of Newcastle with no injuries to report, but Anthony Milford’s foot might be getting sore from kicking field goals all the time.
Rabbitohs: Fullback Greg Inglis came off late for a concussion test in the big loss to North Queensland and continues to be troubled by an apparent knee injury but he should be fit for the Rabbitohs’ second straight game in Queensland. Alex Johnston is still troubled by a hamstring but is listed to return this week.
BULLDOGS VS TITANS
3pm Saturday at ANZ Stadium
Bulldogs: Des Haslerwill likely move James Graham and Aiden Tolman back to the starting side after the Dogs missed their early fire badly in the loss to the Warriors. Chase Stanley is still a week away from returning from a hamstring injury but will struggle to get a game ahead of the impressive Kerrod Holland.
Titans: Halfback Ashley Taylor was knocked out in the final moments of the loss to the Dragons but the club is hopeful he’ll be fit for Saturday. Leivaha Pulu hurt his ribs in the first half but would have probably been replaced in the starting team anyway by Chris McQueen while Eddy Pettybourne’s return to first grade went poorly after he suffered a broken finger. Greg Bird will start at lock with Agnatius Paasi dropping back to the bench.
media_camera The Titans will welcome back Bird after a week on the sidelines.
RAIDERS VS TIGERS
5.30pm Saturday at GIO Stadium
Raiders: Five-eighth Blake Austin won’t be back until next weekend as he fights off a hamstring problem, so Sam Williams will continue to partner Aidan Sezer in the halves. The only thing that got hurt in the Raiders awful home loss to the Sharks were a lot of feelings. Jeff Lima and Sia Soliola are still a couple of weeks away from returning but coach Ricky Stuart may be tempted to shake things up a bit after being outscored 76-20 over the last two weeks.
Tigers: Prop Sauaso Sue is expected to return after missing last week with a concussion but it remains to be seen if David Nofoaluma will be back after he was a late scratching with a knee injury. Rookie Josh Addo-Carr is expected to retain his place after a strong debut on the wing.
media_camera Sue will be a welcome addition in the middle of the field for the Tigers.
COWBOYS VS EELS
7.30pm Saturday at 1300 Smiles Stadium
Cowboys: No injuries for the Cowboys after Kane Linnett made a strong return from injury. John Asiata dropped off the bench late to play Queensland Cup in a ploy to get the promising lock some more game time but he could return this weekend.
Eels: Prop Junior Paulo came off late in the win over Manly with a concussion but is expected to play. Tepai Moeroa faces a little more of a battle after suffering deep bone bruising to his shin.
LOWDOWN: Who starred and who struggled?
KENT: NRL blanket ban won’t work
SHARKS VS PANTHERS
4pm Sunday at Southern Cross Stadium
Sharks: Veteran backrower Luke Lewis will return from suspension on the right edge with Jayson Bukuya dropping back to the bench and Joseph Paulo falling out of the team.
Panthers: Penrith coach Anthony Griffin says injured duo James Segeyaro and Dean Whare will spend another week on the sidelines. That means another week for Peter Wallace at hooker, so young gun Te Maire Martin can hold his place in the halves. Sam McKendry is facing a week on the sidelines for contact with a match official and faces a one-match ban regardless of his plea.
media_camera Classy centre Dean Whare has played just one match this season.
KNIGHTS VS SEA EAGLES
2pm Monday at Hunter Stadium
Knights: You’d have to look high and low for a match that was more disheartening than the Knights’ 53-0 disembowelling against Brisbane. Not only were Newcastle beaten like they stole something, Jarrod Mullen, Tyler Randall and Nathan Ross were all concussed, Jeremy Smith was a late withdrawal with a knee injury and Danny Levi and Jake Mamo continue to miss time with niggling ankle and back injuries. Mullen, Randall and Ross should be fit for the home game against the Sea Eagles.
Sea Eagles: Prop Brenton Lawrence should be back this weekend after missing the loss to Parramatta with a hip injury but Matt Parcell and Daly Cherry-Evans are both a week away. Jorge Taufua broke his collarbone and will be out until Round 14 which could mean a recall for Brayden Williame.
UNEXPECTED: Matagi moment sums up Panthers intent
FIGHT: Rabbitohs turn to UFC fighter
DRAGONS VS ROOSTERS
4:00pm Monday at Allianz Stadium
Dragons: Halfback Benji Marshall was a late out for the second week in a row and his status for the Anzac Day clash with the Roosters is currently unknown. Euan Aitken is almost definitely out after suffering a hamstring injury with Peter Mata’utia and Kurt Mann in contention to fill the void at right centre.
Roosters: The troops are set to come back at last for the Roosters with Boyd Cordner and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves in the frame to make their long-awaited returns this week. Cordner will jump straight in on the left edge, which will push Mitchell Aubusson back to the bench, while Waerea-Hargreaves also return from a knee injury. Mitchell Pearce will be free to play again when his eight-match ban expires the week after against Newcastle. The battling Bondi club could also be without Isaac Liu after he was hit with a Grade One dangerous tackle charge for a crusher tackle. He’ll miss one game with an early plea or two games if he fights and loses.
media_camera Boyd Cordner is set to play his first match of the season this weekend.
STORM VS WARRIORS
7pm Monday at AAMI Park
Storm: Melbourne’s backline injury crisis seems to have benefited them somewhat with the unearthing of the exciting Suliasi Vunivalu, who scored a double on debut and churned out almost 200 metres with ball in hand. He should retain his spot on the right wing but the Storm could be without Tim Glasby, who suffered an early concussion and did not return.
Warriors: Just as Roger Tuivasa-Sheck seemed to be finding his feet the Kiwi fullback has had the rug pulled out from under him and he’ll miss the rest of the season with an ACL injury. However, the Warriors are well stocked in terms of replacements with Tuimoala Lolohea producing his best game of the season on the weekend and he should jump straight in. Thomas Leuluai will likely replace Lolohea at five-eighth and Jazz Tevaga may take Leuluai’s role as bench utility, although veteran half Jeff Robson could come into calculations after being dumped last week. | positive |
Doxing is an internet term with an evil overtone that covers a variety of events from having just your name and location revealed to having your banking information, credit cards and social security number posted online. Anonymity is part of the appeal of the internet and being doxed is perceived as victimization whereas in many cases it is more accurately the cyber equivalent of a citizen’s arrest. While it can happen to anyone it mostly happens to certain types of people: Public figures.
A public figure is defined as “anyone who has gained prominence in the community as a result of his or her name or exploits, whether willingly or unwillingly” and, as such, has lost privacy, being “only protected by knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard for the truth by anyone writing about them.” Outside of provable intentional misrepresentation of facts, a public figure has no recourse.
When discussing individuals rights we can’t eliminate those which aren’t convenient at the time – we must look at all the rights as a unified body. Censorship on the internet is actually a more important issue than anonymity and one that carries more weighted concern. There is good reason for that.
While freedom of speech is the right that most internet users scream about, they decry freedom of the press, which grants other users the right to react and discuss your speech. Having the right to an opinion does not make your opinion right. While people are perfectly correct that they can go online and make videos or write opinions as they see fit, they must also accept that others have the right to disagree or take offence.
You don’t have to break a law to get doxed, you just have to do or say something interesting.
The more videos you post and the more opinions you express, the larger the body of work, and then the more likelihood you qualify as a public figure. This is not up for debate. People need to understand that the internet is not some private “Dear Diary” with a key to the lock hidden in your underwear drawer. Your underpants are strewn about the internet on a laundry line stretching from Facebook all the way back to a random comment you made on a news article ten years ago. Not everyone uses bleach.
The right to anonymity is only a protection against government demands for private information from servers, it does not protect you from other private citizens investigating and discovering your identity when they follow the laundry line.
According to police, “private info is legal as long as not used to threaten, steal identity, or access private emails.” It’s not enough to feel threatened, because that’s subjective, the threat has to be specific and show real malice or intention of violence. In most cases of internet doxing, the “victim” is actually only the “victim” of their own words.
If someone posted my name and address after I said something innocuous nobody, including myself, would care. The main threat to having your name doxed is when you’ve said something that can get you fired. If you are worried about getting fired for what you are about to type, don’t type it. This is a concern for most members of the MHRM as what we do and say here is considered hate speech by many.
In a movement that needs to expand and grow, it would beneficial to assure people that they will never be doxed but it’s a promise no one can make. Paul Elam has assured members that he will go to jail before handing over IP addresses or private information on members to police or government. The privacy laws actually do protect individual sites but no single site can hide your dirty laundry if you’ve pegged it all over the internet.
The platform for free speech online, whether you blog or post videos or create a profile on any type of social media site, needs to be approached with a healthy, realistic perspective. Every time the “upload” or “publish” button is clicked it becomes part of the worldwide press. It stops being private information and becomes public material unless you set the information as private. Make sure you use bleach if you don’t want to get attention.
Most people writing or vlogging are doing so to make a public statement. If anonymity is crucial then the publisher should avoid saying anything important, offensive, or funny enough to go viral. The tough part is that we can’t always know what is going to go viral. Make no mistake, every time you post something online you take a risk of becoming a limited public figure.
A basic guideline to consider is that those who have ‘thrust themselves to the forefront of particular public controversies in order to influence the resolution of the issues involved” are making themselves public figures. We need more public figures in the MHRM who are willing to use their real names, who are willing to show their faces on youtube videos and show that we are serious. We can not be dismissed as cowards. We are not just throwing stones then running to hide behind a bush.
Not everyone is ready to publish their own names and it’s a serious decision to make. You have to think it through and make an informed choice. If you are not ready, don’t do it. Some will decide to never do it, which is an equally dignified decision. If you are not prepared to be recognized, don’t put your face on youtube. If and when you are ready, you’re still going to struggle when you get negative attention so have your tools prepared and your Stuart Smalley videos preloaded.
One of the hottest topics of contention on AVfM involves doxing. The publishing of personal information about foes of the MHRM reminds members that it can happen to them too.
John Hembling’s article about Krista Milburn received over 650 comments in three days. There were differing reasons given by those who objected to the doxing but the fact remains that Krista published a body of work which she acknowledges is aggressive, has resulted in many followers, and prescribes a social change to the world we all share. She made choices which garnered her the exact type of attention she sought: to be a cult leader. In her reply on that article, she claimed to be receiving unwanted attention but bragged about how many followers she has and clarified her intentions with information that she is writing a book. Krista Milburn is a public figure.
AVfM is regularly criticized, from within and without, for maintaining a site called register-her.com which is a wiki site that lists and identifies women found guilty of specific types of crimes. The only ambiguous category on the wiki is bigot, which the site defines as “used to designate individuals whose active ideology is one that results in socially inflicted harm on men and/or boys in the general population.” All of the information on register-her.com was acquired using legal methods of search.
The list of bigots includes celebrities, lobbyists, mainstream writers/bloggers, and visible activists. It caused a stir when young feminist protestors were added to the list after attending a protest against a seminar about men’s issues. These women chose to go in public and make statements and accusations in front of cameras without shielding their faces and in a manner that intended to garner public attention. As a result they became public figures.
In general, the feminists that are doxed by AVfM are women who make a living, or seek to make a living, by promoting hatred, intolerance, injustice, or violence against men and boys. Having their real names published for this behaviour, whether they’ve chosen to or not, does not interfere with their lives because women don’t get fired for saying that men are evil. Members of the MHRM do not have the same luxury. The criticism against doxing feminists is that they might be stalked or threatened as a result. That is also a risk they take whenever they post online.
There has been a lot of recent mainstream media hype over the perceived threats received by women who use the internet. It’s not just women who receive this type of harassment. The internet is loved for its lack of regulation but is hated for the results of that same freedom. The pros and cons can be weighed by each individual who chooses to use this platform of free speech. “Be nice” is not yet a law.
For MHRAs, just being a member of an organization or activist group does not make you a public figure. As the membership grows so does the movement and all of you are valuable whether you get on a soapbox and make speeches or just applaud from the corner of the room. The more people we have who are willing to take that risk and become a public figure the faster we will see results but it is never advisable to do something foolish. Match your level of activism to the level of exposure you are willing to risk.
And stop feeling sorry for these stupid twits who think they can hide behind tears when someone holds them responsible for their actions.

Bob Slade was threatened with suspension by officials who said he should have one hand on lollipop and one signalling traffic
A lollipop man has hung up his fluorescent jacket for the last time after being threatened with suspension for giving children high fives.
Bob Slade, 65, has spent four years making sure youngsters cross the road safely outside the school gates.
But he has resigned after officials at Plymouth city council threatened him with four weeks' suspension for greeting children with a cheery hand slap.
He was told the hand gesture was inappropriate – because he should be holding his lollipop with one hand and using the other to signal traffic.
They also said lollipop men and women's "full attention must be on the road and they must watch the traffic closely at all times".
Slade, of Plymouth, Devon, said he had already stopped high-fiving kids following an earlier warning – but was so fed up he had now quit the role.
He said: "I really enjoyed the job. I have been doing it for more than four years without a single accident. When I got the job they told me to make contact with the kids and be friendly.
"But then they changed their minds and I stopped high-fiving them earlier in the year because they told me to stop.
"They also said I was going out into the road without looking properly. They said they would suspend me for four weeks but I said I would rather leave.
"I appreciate the support of the parents but I won't be going back again. This is the end of it now."
Bob worked at Plymouth's Devonport Dockyard for 45 years before taking up his position at Manadon Vale primary school in 2009, helping children cross a busy junction.
Parents – who were told Slade had resigned for personal reasons – have criticised the situation as ridiculous.
Gary Hay, 46, a father of two and mental health worker, said: "He was a lovely man and the kids loved him. There was always a great atmosphere in the morning and he made every individual child feel special.
"There's no one on the road now which is worrying as it's quite a dangerous crossing. It's a shame he's been penalised as he did his job so well – his priority was to keep the kids safe, which he always did."
Penny Boom, 39, a sales assistant who has one child at the school, said: "Everyone seems to be pretty shocked by his resignation as he was so well loved.
"All the children would look forward to seeing him in the morning and afternoon and parents would encourage their children to high-five him as they crossed. As a result of health and safety concerns we've been left with no one to patrol the crossing."
A Plymouth city council spokesperson said: "We take the safety of children very seriously and school crossing patrols exist to make sure children can cross roads as safely as possible. To do this they must hold out the lollipop with one arm and hold their other arm outstretched to signal that all traffic must stop, this is well established signalling that should be understood by all drivers.
"While patrols can be friendly, their full attention must be on the road and they must watch the traffic closely at all times. We will be recruiting to fill the school crossing patrol position at Manadon Vale primary school as quickly as possible." | positive |
Former UFC heavyweight champion Bas Rutten says he's sick and tired of the antics of Nick Diaz , whose failure to comply with the UFC's promotional requirements got him pulled out of a welterweight title fight with Georges St. Pierre In an appearance on The MMA Hour , Rutten called himself a Diaz fan, but he said Diaz needs to shape up and start acting like a professional and stop doing things like blowing off appearances."I was really disturbed by that," Rutten said. "It got to me. I literally had to tell myself, 'OK, let it go.' Because this is a guy with so much talent -- I'm a big Nick Diaz fan also -- and I thought, 'OK, now I'm going to see a fight against Georges, it's going to be great.'"Rutten noted that Diaz has said several times that he's underpaid, and that now his failure to make the St. Pierre fight is going to cost him the biggest payday of his career."He's always complaining about not having money enough, and he does a thing like this? It really was upsetting to me. I had to step away from it because I don't like it," Rutten said. "He wants to keep complaining about money? It's his own fault."Although Diaz has been pulled from the St. Pierre fight, he has been given a fight with former champion B.J. Penn , and if Diaz wins that fight he's expected to get the next crack at the welterweight title. Rutten said that for as frustrated as he gets seeing the way Diaz acts, he'll be excited for the opportunity to see Diaz fight for a welterweight belt."Hopefully, he's going to be smart and show up for the press conference," Rutten said. | positive |

Refrigeration hasn’t changed in more than 100 years. Consumers have learnt blithely to accept energy-guzzling fridges that periodically need defrosting, or develop mysterious warm pockets. Existing systems also require a consistent power supply, which is a huge challenge for vaccine storage in the developing world.
Now, one British inventor has developed a new cooling technology, as simple and cheap to make as a bottle of water, that is set to revolutionise the refrigeration industry.
Ian Tansley has created a system that remains cold for up to 12 days without power. It maintains a consistent temperature throughout the fridge, eliminating the hot and cold fluctuations. The impact of such technology is significant. Not only can vaccines be safely transported to off-grid rural areas in developing nations where diseases such as polio still claim hundreds of lives each year, the massive energy savings will benefit both people and planet.
Tansley’s Snowdonia-based firm, Sure Chill, has spent almost a decade developing the technology. Its vaccine fridges are now in use in 40 countries around the world. In the first three months of this year, the United Nations’ children’s organisation, Unicef, is using 200 of its fridges to transport drugs to the Philippines as part of the relief effort.
Tansley came up with the idea for the ground-breaking invention while walking through the Gwynedd countryside in North Wales. “I was inspired by a frozen lake,” he says. “I thought, 'If hot water rises, why is the top of the lake frozen and not the bottom?’ That’s what gave me the idea. It’s just so simple and works with the density of water.”
Tansley is a serial inventor who has worked in the field of sustainable energy for 25 years. His first attempts at energy-efficient refrigeration involved solar panels, but it was only when he met angel investor Peter Saunders that he began looking at completely new power sources.
The pair met in 2005, a year after entrepreneur Saunders had sold Halo Foods. “Ian is an expert in alternative technologies and green energy,” he says. “I decided to build a business around him.”
Saunders invested £2.5m for 80pc of the company, and set Tansley the task of developing a new refrigeration system.
“All the vaccine fridges on the market require a rechargeable battery,” explains Saunders. “The problem is that once the battery fails, the expensive piece of kit goes to waste. The World Health Organisation was looking for a solution.
“After Ian had his brainwave, he locked himself in a room for a week,” he continues. “He had built this crazy, Heath Robinson arrangement, but the thing worked the first time we tested it.”
The Sure Chill entrepreneurs have global ambitions for their firm and their technology now has patent coverage in 89 countries.
The Sure Chill system appears to solve all the problems inherent in conventional refrigeration.
“We have achieved the evenness of temperature distribution,” says Tansley.
“While batteries wear out and don’t like high temperatures, this technology is robust and only needs short bursts of power to keep going indefinitely, even in tropical countries. And our technology costs as little as a bottle of water to build.”
Nevertheless, bringing the technology to market was a challenge. “People think that if a technology sounds too good to be true, that it is,” admits Tansley. “It was so difficult to get people who had worked in the refrigeration business for a long time to accept that this works.”
A turning point came when Sure Chill received endorsements from the World Health Organisation, the Clinton Health Initiative and renowned climate scientist Sir John Houghton. “We managed to get one of our fridges in front of Bill Gates,” says Saunders. “It’s amazing to think that he has actually seen one of our products in action.”
The Microsoft founder was so impressed by the invention that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has now given the company a grant to develop a new range of smaller vaccine fridges with a cool life of up to 30 days, even in the tropics.
“They want to put these systems at the end of the cool chain, at clinics in the middle of nowhere,” says Tansley. “It was an impossible task and yet we’ve just trialled a device that has managed to maintain its temperature for 37 days.”
However, the applications for Tansley’s invention are far wider than vaccine transportation. Sure Chill is currently in talks with a number of beverage companies about rolling out their fridges in markets where the electricity supply is sporadic.
“People selling drinks have hugely ambitious targets and they won’t be able to meet them without reaching vast new populations in developing countries,” says Tansley.
In countries such as India and Brazil, shopkeepers routinely turn off their fridges and freezers when they turn off the lights at the end of the day.
“It’s a cultural norm that results in thousands of cases of food poisoning,” says Saunders. “That risk will be eliminated by this technology.
“And there’s the simple pleasure of a cold drink in a hot country,” he adds. “Something we all take for granted.”
The company recently signed a licensing agreement with Godrej, a white-goods manufacturer in India, to start mass-producing its technology. There is a strong pipeline of new deals in the offing, all protected by non-disclosure agreements.
“We’re following the Intel model,” says Saunders. “We want Sure Chill to be in every refrigerator.”
Tansley’s invention has been embraced by the Smart Grid movement, which is shortly to be rolled out across Europe and the US.
“Your fridge is the single biggest user of electricity in your home,” he says. “Smart Grid will allow generators to be turned off or turned down during peak times and reward consumers with lower energy costs.
“You can’t just turn off a telly or a cooker – you can dim lights a bit, but not much. With Sure Chill, you could power your fridge during the night and it would stay cold all day.”
Tansley is developing new Sure Chill models all the time, from tiny fridges to walk-in cold-rooms. “I can make it any size you like,” he says. “The technology is really flexible and we have potential licensees across scores of markets.”
Turnover expectations are being revised up each month on the back of the new deals.
However, Tansley’s ambitions remain chiefly humanitarian. “Millions of people have never had a fridge because there simply wasn’t consistent access to electricity,” he says. “Now these people can keep food cold, which will bring down incidence of all sorts of medical problems.
“There’s finally a product that meets the need. This is like the mobile phone revolution, only with cooling.” | positive |

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Milwaukee still has two high-speed trains that were at one point on track to connect three Midwestern cities. Now, we're learning those trains are on their way out of Milwaukee.
The Talgo trains were constructed for Wisconsin's now defunct high-speed rail service.
"This is one of the ending chapters of the history, the sad history of Talgo in the city of Milwaukee," Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said.
Mayor Barrett said within weeks, the trains will be leaving Milwaukee -- along with the last remnants of Talgo America.
"The city of Milwaukee's Redevelopment Authority has received notice that (Talgo) will be terminating its month-to-month lease -- that it's ending its operations here," Mayor Barrett said.
The lease will expire sometime during the next 60 days. The lease provided the city with $29,000 a month.
Mayor Barrett says the city's administration remains focused on continuing the redevelopment of a neighborhood known as "Century City."
"We've had interest from companies who are interested in locating there," Mayor Barrett said.
Later this year, Mayor Barrett says construction will begin on a 50,000-square-foot building, which will house an unidentified light manufacturing operation.
"I don't want anybody to think that we're throwing in the towel at this site, because -- to the contrary, we've been investing millions of dollars in this site," Mayor Barrett said.
Mayor Barrett says he's not certain where the trains are headed, but published reports indicate Michigan may be the destination. | positive |

The Tsarnaev defense team’s poll of potential jurors’ attitudes toward the bombing suspect is apparently an unprecedented legal tactic in Massachusetts that is catching the eye of other lawyers.
“That’s good lawyering,” said Terrence Kennedy, a criminal defense attorney not involved in the case. “I haven’t seen it in the past. I don’t think it’s an unreasonable thing to do, especially in a case like this. This is the highest-profile terrorism case maybe ever in Massachusetts, so this isn’t out of bounds.”
Accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s lawyers hope to use the taxpayer-funded poll to convince Judge George A. O’Toole Jr. their client must be tried elsewhere due to bias here.
Their poll claims 57.9 percent of Boston-area people polled said Tsarnaev is guilty, and 37 percent think he deserves the death penalty. The poll could give the lawyers ammunition for an appeal if the change of venue motion is denied. Boston residents have been inundated with media reports about the bombings, and thousands were there — or know people who were — when the horrific attacks took place.
Making every legal move to get the case out of Boston is entirely reasonable for attorneys who are trying to save their client’s life.
“It’s unique to this case, but the publicity here was so pervasive and so negative that almost everybody has heard about it,” said Randy Chapman, a criminal defense attorney not involved in the case. “In this case, given the death penalty, it’s certainly appropriate.”
Typically, jurors are vetted during an extensive process, known in courts as “voir dire.” In this case, the process is likely to be cumbersome. If O’Toole tries to empanel a jury, and fails, he can at that point change venue. While the Tsarnaev lawyers would like a trial in Washington, D.C., — which polled favorably to their cause — O’Toole could move the case to Springfield or Worcester with less disruption if he finds less bias there.
David Paleologos, a pollster at Suffolk University, said he’s never been asked to conduct a poll for a defense attorney, though he’s been called into court to cast doubt on litigants’ statistics. He did, however, think it was a good idea.
“Research is more substantive than a lot of other legal arguments,” said Paleologos, whose own 2013 poll found that 56 percent of local respondents were ready to see Tsarnaev executed. “Survey research gives you, within a margin of error, a picture of what public sentiment is.” | positive |
Canelo Alvarez files lawsuit against DAZN, Golden Boy Promotions - The Ring News Media Trivia Podcasts Ratings Schedule Shop Login Subscribe Saturday, September 24, 2022 | Follow Us: Subscribe RING CENTENNIAL HUB! Ring TV News Media Trivia Podcasts Ratings Schedule Shop Login Subscribe News Media Trivia Podcasts Ratings Schedule Shop Login Subscribe News Canelo Alvarez files lawsuit against DAZN, Golden Boy Promotions 09 Sep by Michael Montero Unfortunately, it seems likely that the only fight for boxing’s biggest financial draw will take place in the courtroom, rather than the ring, in 2020. Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez has filed a lawsuit against sports streaming service DAZN, as well as his longtime promoter, Golden Boy Promotions. The suit, filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleges that DAZN and Golden Boy have not lived up to their end of the record-breaking deal that the parties agreed to in late 2018. Just three fights into the 11-fight, $365 million contract he signed less than two years ago, Alvarez wants out and is seeking at least $280 million in damages. After back-to-back fights between Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin on HBO PPV in 2017 and 2018, the cable network, a former powerhouse within the sport, announced they were leaving the boxing business. That left many fighters without a home, including Canelo, whose fights with Golovkin brought in more than $50 million in total gate revenue, and produced over two million PPV buys. That’s when DAZN jumped headfirst into the boxing world, inking a deal with Alvarez that made him the highest-paid fighter in the world, and briefly the highest-paid athlete in all of sports. Subsequent to that deal, DAZN picked up Golovkin with the intent of putting on a third fight between him and Canelo. Golden Boy founder Oscar De La Hoya allegedly promised DAZN that Alvarez would face Golovkin in 2019, but Alvarez claims he was unaware of such promises, among other stipulations in the deal. Ultimately, the fight did not happen. Since signing with DAZN, Alvarez has fought the unheralded Rocky Fielding in December 2018 (for a reported $15 million, not the guaranteed $35 million of his new deal), then Danny Jacobs and Sergey Kovalev in 2019. DAZN executives pushed hard to make the third Canelo-Golovkin bout last September around the Mexican Independence Day holiday, but Alvarez ultimately rejected those offers, opting to face Kovalev in November instead. Before the global COVID-19 pandemic, Canelo was rumored to be facing Billy Joe Saunders this May. However those plans were scrapped during the quarantine period over the spring/summer. When things began to open back up, talks between Canelo, Golden Boy and DAZN reconvened for his fall bout. Offers were made and rejected, with disagreements over the quality of proposed opponents and the amount of proposed fight purses. Canelo agreed to take a pay cut from him normal $40 million guarantee ($35 million to him, $5 million allocated to his opponent), but only against a certain level of opposition. DAZN rejected multiple names, including Saunders and Ring super middleweight champ Callum Smith, citing that they were not “premium” opponents. According to the lawsuit, “DAZN offered to pay Alvarez and Golden Boy Promotions a fraction of the contracted $40 million license fee in cash and some DAZN stock in advance of a potential IPO.” Canelo’s side alleges that the offer from DAZN was “substantially less” than his contractual guarantee, but does not give an exact figure. In the suit, Alvarez’s representatives claim he asked Golden Boy to explore other broadcast options (outside of DAZN) for a fall 2020 bout. “Although Golden Boy Promotions reported that it was talking to various broadcasters, it failed to put forth a single alternative plan by which it would pay Alvarez the $35 million it had promised him for each of his fights. Alvarez has suffered harm and damages, including, but not limited to, the denied guaranteed payments, lost gate revenue, and opportunities for ancillary revenue associated with bouts, such as sponsorships and apparel revenue.” This one could get ugly, real ugly.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Worries about Greece's future are front and center yet again, as Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou gets ready to officially resign on the condition that Greece's €130 billion bailout gets approval.
That upheavel serves as just another reminder that the the crisis is far from over.
Papandreou will meet with opposition leader Antonis Samaras Monday to discuss who will become the nation's next prime minister as well as who will serve in the new government, according to the statement from President Karolos Papoulias.
How that shakes out is anyone's guess.
The Greeks could decide that they've had enough of Germany and France telling them to cut their retirement benefits, make people work longer hours and raise taxes. They could simply say they want out.
The country would default on its debt and abandon the euro currency.
"I don't see how you have a disorderly default and Greece stays in the eurozone," said George Magnus, a senior economic advisor at the Swiss bank UBS.
The government would fire up its own printing presses and begin circulating its former currency, the drachma.
Even so, few people want this to happen, or indeed think that it will.
While the lower-valued drachma would make Greek exports more competitive on the international market and the Greek tourism industry could get a boost, Greek creditors and people with bank deposits in the country would likely lose a lot of money.
Eurasia Group, a political risk consultancy, put the odds of Greece leaving the eurozone at zero in the near term. Global Insight, another consultancy, puts it at about one in three.
But UBS's Magnus puts it at 50-50 in the next year or two, and 80% by 2016.
Still, what if? While a worse-case scenario is unlikely, it might look like this:
Bank runs in Greece: If Greece defaulted, the big European economies would likely cut off all aid. The Greek government would be left without new euros coming in or the ability to get credit.
"The economy would collapse to a cash basis," said Jan Randolph, director of sovereign risk at IHS Global Insight.
Those with bank accounts would rush to get their money. Since even the healthiest banks can only cover a small portion of the deposits, there would be bank failures.
Extreme austerity: The Greek government would be able to spend only as much as it's taking in, so there would be dramatic spending cuts. The government would have to lay off a huge number of employees.
"Unemployment would surge, going from 15% to 25%," said Randolph.
Investors panic over Italy and Spain: This is the contagion scenario. Once Greece sets a precedent of leaving the euro zone, investors might think the same is possible for other troubled economies, most notably Italy and Spain.
If investors see that Greece was able to leave the eurozone and default on its debt, why would they lend money to other high risk countries.
This would drive up the cost of borrowing, making it even more expensive for these troubled counties to balance their budgets.
"Why would anyone want to own any European bonds if they don't get paid back," said Magnus.
The good news: This scenario is unlikely. Analysts say the rich European countries have too much at stake to let other countries drop out.
With its massive export-driven economy, Germany has been able to use the single currency to sell its goods in other European markets more cheaply than it otherwise could.
"No one has benefited from the eurozone more than Germany," said Randolph.
Unlike with Greece, it's likely the rich EU counties would pressure the European Central Bank to make ample cash available for these countries.
Global recession: If Greece leaves the eurozone, Europe may be thrust into another recession, analysts say. In fact, most are predicting Europe is already in or will soon see a slight recession regardless of the Greek outcome.
Mario Draghi, the new president of the European Central Bank, said as much this week: "What we are observing now is slow growth heading towards a mild recession by year end."
The United States would not be immune, Douglas J. Elliott of the Brookings Institution wrote in a story for CNNMoney. Over $400 billion of U.S. exports in 2010 went to the European Union, and U.S. firms have over $1 trillion of direct investment in the European Union.
U.S. banks and their subsidiaries have $2.7 trillion in loans and other commitments to eurozone governments, banks and corporations -- and roughly $2 trillion more of exposure to the United Kingdom.
Still, not all analysts are convinced of the ripple effect.
UBS's Magnus thinks it would tip the United States into recession, and China would have an even harder time engineering a soft landing for its fast-growing economy.
But Randolph doesn't think there would be too much of an impact, provided other European countries didn't suffer the same fate.
"In the grand scheme of things, Greece is too small," he said.

The Patriot in Purgatory
Episode Summary
The episode opens with five of Brennan's interns -- Bray, Edison, Vaziri, Abernathy, and Fisher -- gathered around a corpse with a chainsaw in its chest. Saroyan tells them to await Brennan's orders. Immediately they become suspicious, and Abernathy starts a differential on the chainsaw victim -- he was ripped through the xiphoid process , fluid on the 4th and 5th left ribs. Fabric is found in the cut that transected the xiphoid process, and Edison thinks it may have been a tennis ball. The interns are fighting when Brennan shows up, only to reveal that they're not working that case; that man died after attempting to juggle a chainsaw, a Fuji apple, and a tennis ball... while drunk.
Brennan has taken a page from the Phil Jackson playbook (after Booth made her watch basketball) and decided to set the intern team on the task of identifying cold cases now that the missing persons database has been thoroughly digitized. Brennan leaves, and the interns immediately start firing on all cylinders, rattling off identifications and cutting into one another's explanations of who the dead person is on the table.
Fisher identifies Lisa Bowrey, a mechanical bull-riding stripper who went missing in 1980, based on the size of the humeral head, the intra-articular fracture to the thumb , abrasions on L2 and L3, and the presence of sequins among her personal effects. Abernathy discovers he is looking at the remains of George Leto, a blacksmith who went missing in 1898. Erratic ossification on his pubic symphysis puts him in his mid-50s, and he also had a woodcutter's lesion (also known as an olecranon spur ). Clark has Chad Winnike, a suspected murder victim who disappeared 18 years ago. He identified the remains based on lateral epicondylitis of the elbow joint (aka tennis elbow ) and high strontium. And Bray finds Sarah Mahoney based on a compression fracture of the C7 body with subluxation, or milker's neck
Doo doo doo... where do the fibulae go again?
Vaziri, however, does not have easy answers to his case, a homeless man found beaten in a sleeping bag behind a parking garage at the Pentagon in September, 2001. Other than a chipped tooth and a fracture to the left 6th rib, Vaziri has little to go on. He convinces Hodgins to test the residue in the tooth, however, which reveals traces of kerosene and ethylene glycol , or jet fuel. On the skeletal remains, Vaziri finds an old, healed bullet wound that occurred roughly 10 years before the man's death. Based on the state of the remains, the temperature at the time, and the Calliphoridae (blow flies) in the decomposing tissue, Hodgins and Saroyan put time of death at 4 days before the body was discovered. The interns are all interested at this point, and Fisher, an expert on bone remodelling, is asked to take a look at the rib fracture. He puts the injury at about 10 days before death, or on September 11, 2001. Because of the presence of jet fuel and the man's injuries, the team thinks that he was in or near the Pentagon when it was struck by one of the planes.
The bullet wound, Booth thinks, could indicate the man fought in the Gulf War, and this would match with the high level of uranium found in his body. There was no DNA database for servicemen in the 1990s, though, so a DNA test of the body does not find an identity match.
The interns further examine the body and find all sorts of abrasions and small microfractures to the bones -- the ends of the humeri, the L4 and L5, the knees, the right metacarpals -- all suggestive of a violent death in which the individual was dragged or hung upside down.
After a day of going to homeless shelters with a facial reconstruction provided by Angela, Booth gets an ID: Tim Murphy. Murphy did indeed serve in the Gulf, where he was the sole survivor in an explosion in a munitions dump. He suffered from severe PTSD, and his wife would often find him missing for days at a time. One day, he simply didn't come home.
Hodgins tests the fragment of metal from the rib and finds that it's made of indium tin oxide , which was used on the lamp posts on the west side of the Pentagon. A military big-wig, Ben Foster ( Officer Doug! ), asks around about Murphy and finds out that he used to hang out outside the Pentagon shouting "Walk in Moore Park" to everyone who passed. Booth realizes that this wasn't a sentence but rather the names of Murphy's fellow soldiers who were killed in the Gulf: Walken, Moore, and Park.
The interns examine the skeletal evidence again, noting that the injuries to the bone look strikingly like those seen in weightlifters. Murphy, though, had no history of that. They decide to test his personal effects, namely the blood on his clothing. They find that the blood came from three different people who were working at the Pentagon on September 11. Booth interviews Rollins, and she remembers Murphy -- he saved her life by lifting heavy pieces of concrete off her, and he saved the lives of the two men as well. The damage to his shoulders, the compression fractures to his spine, the strain on his knees, all of these injuries were from heroic acts of strength to help free people pinned under rubble. His rib fracture is likely what killed him, though. When he started exerting himself to help others, the rib punctured his lung. It took him 10 days to bleed out, forgotten and presumed homeless. Murphy is lain to rest at Arlington National Cemetery with a full military burial.
Comments
Forensic
All of the forensic IDs were alright... in that each intern offered at most three pieces of evidence that might be used to ID someone from skeletal remains. Hardly conclusive, but if we assume they did additional work we didn't see, it all sounded entirely reasonable.
I was peeved that the interns didn't look for cause or manner of death in the cold cases, though. There were no notes as to what may have killed those individuals.
Clark's ID included a mention of "high strontium" which doesn't make much sense. Isotope ratio? Concentration? Trace element? All could tell you something about the deceased, but they'd tell you different things.
They always put the fibulae medial to the tibiae when laying out a skeleton (see picture above). I just don't get why.
Plot
So Daisy isn't an intern anymore? Man, that must have been a really rough break-up, that she lost her job too.
Where people were on 9/11 - Saroyan was a coroner in NY and posted at least 900 people. Fisher was breaking into his history teacher's desk to steal a test he hadn't studied for. Clark was at a coffee shop before grad school. Abernathy had just been stabbed with scissors by his stepfather. Vaziri was at morning prayers. Bray was with his aunt, as his uncle was a firefighter in NY and died that day. Brennan was part of DMORT and helped recover remains from the Pentagon. No indication as to what Booth was doing on that day. (For my part, Clark's story mirrored mine... I was getting coffee on campus at ECU and thought the TV showing planes ramming the WTC was some kind of joke, then wondered how a plane could go off course so badly that it hit a building, then realized the magnitude of the situation and listened to NPR for the rest of the day.)
Dialogue
"Idle talk is like a mama bear whose cubs have long gone in search of a teat." - Abernathy
"I plan to offer numerous 'attaboys' while administering pats on their hindquarters." - Brennan (and she did)
"I'm a special agent. I beat up bad guys and leap over things." - A very self-aware Booth
Ratings
Forensic Mystery - A-. Pretty good misdirection about the skeletal injuries, which really did make it seem like Murphy had been killed by someone else.
Forensic Solution - A-. The vast majority of the forensics on the show tonight were pretty spot-on. Would have liked a confirmation of the deceased's ID with dental records or something, though, and some causes/manners of death for the cold cases.
Drama - B. I very much liked Vaziri in this episode, and especially his dressing-down of perpetually clueless Abernathy, my least favorite intern. But the writers' continued attempts to "humanize" Brennan fell very flat tonight. All it takes is the love of a good man to become a real person, amIright ladies? | positive |

The Student Scholars for 9/11 Truth catch up with John Edwards in the hope that the Senator would tell the truth.
Edwards did admit to attending the meeting, echoing statements he made to We Are Change where he told cameras that he did attend, but declined to explain why there is so much secrecy. Edwards replied, "That’s a good question; you should ask them that."
"I’ve only been there one time; I just went and spoke; I’m not a member of the group," Edwards elaborated.
This time, Edwards downplayed the significance of the meeting. "All I did was go. They had a Republican and a Democrat. I gave like a 20-minute talk on the presidential election."
However, Edwards denied that his appearance at Bilderberg had anything to do with being selected as Kerry’s running mate. "No, because I wasn’t his running mate then." The Bilderberg group has a deserved reputation as kingmaker, as Bill Clinton, George Bush, Tony Blair and other leaders met there before gaining office.

Quote Paradigm is a surreal adventure game set in the strange and post apocalyptic Eastern European country of Krusz.
Play as the handsome mutant, Paradigm, who's past comes back to haunt him in the form of a genetically engineered sloth that vomits candy.
Paradigm’s unfortunate life begins at DUPA genetics, a company who sells prodigy children to the rich and powerful who don’t want to leave their inheritance to their poor excuse for biological children.
Classic point and click adventure: Think Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Space quest, Full Throttle.
Surreal 2D Graphics: Pixar meets Fallout
Post apocalyptic: The year is 2026, dial-up is back in fashion.
70/80’s influences: Paradigm's world is what people from that era imagined it to be; large super computers, space age furniture and floppy disks that can save the world.
Mature content and dark humour: Help the local drug addict and have a hot date with a toaster.
Ugliest protagonist in gaming (maybe): Look at him, Jesus.
Evil sloth antagonist: Who is a genetically engineered living candy machine.
Glam metal cult: May your pants be tight and your excess be excessive.
The developer of Paradigm [ Steam Official Site ], an incredibly strange adventure game sent out word that it will release for Linux on June 23rd!Come see how weird it is:I have to say, it's not often I feel I absolutelyto play a game.

British former Prime Minister Tony Blair is set to be the subject of a UK parliamentary inquiry after allegations in a new book that he tried to save late Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi back in 2011, the Times of London reported on Monday.
According to a new biography of current UK Prime Minister David Cameron, Blair was contacted by “a key individual close to Qaddafi” during the 2011 military campaign to end the dictator’s regime.
Upon receiving the information, Blair phoned the prime minister’s residence, Number 10 Downing Street, on his behalf. In his call to Downing Street, Blair purportedly said that Qaddafi wanted “a deal with the British.”

However - apparently fearing he would seem too supportive of the Libyan dictator – rejected to intervene.
The chairman of the UK parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Crispin Blunt, was quoted by the Times as saying that “the suggestion that he made an intervention during the course of 2011 certainly strengthens the case for having him come and give evidence.” The parliament committee is currently examining Britain’s role in the campaign five years ago.
New relations
In 2005, while prime minister, Tony Blair decided to seek rapprochement with Qaddafi and his regime, after years of frosty relations between Libya and the UK.

In a 2004 visit to the Libyan capital Tripoli, Blair said that he had hopes for a “new relationship” with Libya.
The two leaders kept up personal ties even after Blair left his premiership in 2007. Qaddafi sponsored Blair's trips to Tripoli on at least two occasions in 2008 and 2009 on private jets, according to UK media reports.
Later media reports describes Blair’s jaunts around Qaddafi’s residences in Libya. In a 2007 letter revealed earlier this year, the-then British premier addressed the Libyan leader with “Dear Muammar” and signed his name: “Best wishes yours ever, Tony.”
But this new phase of diplomacy came to an abrupt end in 2011, when Britain and NATO allies made the decision to bomb Qaddafi regime targets in a bid to support rebels on the ground.
The fresh “risks proving highly damaging” for Blair, the paper said. In May, Blair stepped down as the U.N.’s Middle East peace envoy, a role he held for eight years. His Labour party – which he once led – is currently undergoing a bitter contest to select a new leader.

Three hurricanes are currently brewing in the Atlantic ocean. As Hurricane Florence is expected to hit North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia as a Category 4, sparking a preemptive state of emergency, Hurricanes Isaac and Helene lie in wait.
It's a startling triple threat that's not without precident. In fact, it happened only last year with Hurricane Irma barreling toward Florida, Hurricane Katia hammering Mexico, as Hurricane Jose was waiting in the wings.
A trio of powerful hurricanes growing simultaneously is obviously bad, but it also raises a question: How much worse could it be? Just how many hurricanes can the Atlantic harbor at once?
To try to find an answer, we asked Dr. Anand Gnanadesikan, a climate modeler and professor of Earth and planetary sciences at the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. According to Gnanadesikan, the number of storms in the Atlantic depends on two main factors. The first is whether or not conditions are favorable to the development of tropical cyclones.
"The Atlantic has to be in a certain 'state' to allow for hurricane formation. One key appears to be the difference between surface air temperatures and air temperatures much higher up at the top of the troposphere at altitudes where thunderclouds smooth out into anvils. Surface air temperatures are set by the local water temperatures. Upper tropospheric temperatures are more set by the rest of the tropics. So when the surface is warm locally, but the tropics are colder, you can get more tropical cyclones."
The second thing you need is a spark—"seed" storms that, under the right circumstances, are supercharged into hurricanes. These low-pressure systems sometimes self-organize; other times hurricanes-to-be trace their roots eastward to Africa. They generally form a few thousand kilometers apart, which means there's limited space. Gnanadesikan says: "So a question one could ask is, 'How many seeds might one find in the Atlantic and how likely is it that they will all grow?'"
Using NOAA's HURDAT2 database, which contains data from as far back as 1851, Gnanadesikan found that any time one tropical cyclone is present in the Atlantic, there's historically about a 20 percent chance that a second seed will grow up into a cyclone. The odds of a third seed ascending are roughly the same—20 percent of the those two-storms situations. This diminishing trend probably leads to a three-cyclone situation in about four percent of records, but that also includes many cyclones which never made landfall.
By the time you get to four or more cyclones at one, that level is found in only about 340 records—less than one percent. At about four simultaneous storms, Gnanadesikan says, "you might start running out of seeds."
For example, there aren't any other disturbances in the entire North Atlantic which might spawn a tropical cyclone in the couple of days before Katia slams into Mexico. There are only 32 records with five or more storms, again suggesting that we might be running out of seeds—and a handful (9 cases) with six."
Given the twin restrictions of hurricane formation—atmospheric conditions and seed-storm supply—and using historic data as a guide, Gnanadesikan supposes that the practical worst-case scenario is seven simultaneous storms, despite the fact that there is physically room for many more to cram in.
"I'd guess that seven might be the maximum possible," Gnanadesikan says. "Certainly one wouldn't expect the basin to fill with a dozen hurricanes, even though geometrically a dozen hurricanes might fit."
The affects of a warming climate on this limit are complicated and unclear for the moment. Since climate change is expected to warm the air in the upper atmosphere more than the surface of the water below Gnanadesikan explains, it could make it harder for storms to form, but more likely they will be severe. Additional variables like wind shear—the variance in wind speed and direction over a short distance—only serve to complicate predictions further.
As always, the only way we can truly know how many storms will show up in the future will be to watch. | positive |

The use in the drug allows you eliminate anxiety and concern, and have a hard potency during the sexual practice. VILITRA 20 is Generic Levitra from India and possesses Vardenafil inside the dose of 20 mg. The identical pharmacological proeprties plus a therapeutic effect get this medications similar. The difference can be a cost. Original Levitra is perfect for sale by 3-4 times more expensive than Generic VILITRA 20 . hard potency during the sexual activityA low priced is not a sign of the reduced quality. A cause of this difference in prices are how the pharmaceutical companies readily already developed and studied formula of Vardenafil and don’t buy the studies. Bayer has spent million dollars to synthesize and release Vardenafil in the marketplace. Therefore, a price in the Levitra pills has all expenses for the development and promotion of a new service. These expenses are absent in the progression of Generic VILITRA 20, and that’s why the drug costs cheaper. The connection between VILITRA 20 are felt following the first use, and it is one in the advantages of Vardenafil. This drug allows you return erection even in the chornic type with the erection dysfunction. The effect is achieved as a result of pharmacological action of Vardenafil which is often a stimulant of the natural physiological processes inside the penis. What is Generic Vardenafil? Generic Vardenafil is a vasodilator product which acts selectively about the blood vessels of the penis. The mechanism with the action is conditioned from the inhibition of the PDE5 enzyme which prevents an average blood flow within the cavernous bodies. Blocking this enzyme, the circulation is regulated within the tissues of the penis, and because of this, the natural physiological process is improved through the sexual arousal. Nota bene! The action of Vardenafil is started only during the sexual stimulation. Do not expect the increase from the sexual drive or arousal. Generic Vardenafil isn’t aphrodisiac. Taking VILITRA 20 tablets, a person must be ready which a therapeutic effect is reversible as well as the action last for many period. As Vardenafil could be the fastest inhibitor of PDE5, the action starts in approximately quarter-hour following your use of the single dose. Single Vardenafil dose is 20 mg (1 tablet of VILITRA 20 ) The ingredients will block the game of PDE5 next 6 hours, and a person will have a tough erection during every sexual stimulation. A man might have 2-3 sexual intercourses immediately due to pills, and he could have a difficult erection in this period. In 6 hours, Vardenafil is gradually excreted in the body, as well as the effect is reduced. In 8 hours, VILITRA 20 stops stimulating the potency. But in spite with this, the medication might be taken once every day. Do not abuse VILITRA 20 given it might cause negative effects. A reversible effect of Vardenafil has several pluses: The drug is not accumulated in the body and does not cause an affection of the internal tissues VILITRA 20 is harmless and not toxic for the body Vardenafil may be taken for a long period because the drug does not cause an addiction The reversible action helps to activate the natural physiological processes without affecting the mechanisms of the erection. The erectile dysfunction is a temporal disorder which is easily treatable. Taking Vardenafil, the man will not harm the natural processes. The use of the pills may be stopped after the end of the treatment. Due to the soft therapeutic action of VILITRA 20 , the drug is allowed for old men who cannot take more intensive drugs such as Sildenafil. Vardenafil is the only PDE5 inhibitor which does not cause a high blood pressure and tachycardia.

The 28-year-old athlete recorded ten defensive tackles, including a sack in 30 regular season outings with Montreal. He also added four special teams tackles.
“Jesse really managed to establish himself with the club and made his presence felt with solid performances during his two first years with us. He is a hard-nosed, versatile asset with a very high football IQ and we are happy to be able to count on him for the next two seasons,” stated Alouettes General Manager Kavis Reed.
Joseph played 37 career-games in four seasons with the University of Connecticut Huskies, recording 118 tackles and 13 sacks. His most dominant performance came against North Carolina on September 8, 2012 where he picked-up eight tackles in a single game. He completed his senior year in 2013 with 40 tackles, including six for losses and a sack. The former Vanier Cheetah took part in the Chicago Bears rookie mini-camp in 2014. | positive |
Courtney and Matthew Fall Cumberland Heritage Museum Wedding Contact Blog Weddings Galleries Families Home Newsletter About The Barnett Company Weddings Filter by Engagements Personal Search for: Courtney and Matthew Fall Cumberland Heritage Museum Wedding Weddings Courtney and Matthew’s fall Cumberland Heritage Museum wedding was so much fun! Courtney spent the day laughing and having the time of her life. Courtney’s engagement ring was the prettiest engagement ring I have ever seen. Her engagement ring had been designed by Matthew and was a large oval diamond rose gold ring with many crafted designs on the band. The bride and bridesmaid flowers bouquets were also breathtaking and were designed by one of their friend who was a guest at their wedding, Virginia Dodsworth. They opted to do a first look before the wedding ceremony to be able to have some alone time and see each other for the first time in their wedding attire. I love the first look moment because it is by far the most emotional and private moment of a wedding day. Courtney also did a first look with her father right after. I always love to see the expression in a father’s face when he first sees his princess in her wedding dress. Courtney and Matthew got married in an outdoor ceremony with the cutest white chapel as a backdrop. The ceremony was full of giggles and had a special place for their two cute doggies. Being able to have their dog participate in their ceremony was at the top of their list of what they were looking for in a ceremony venue. The Cumberland Heritage Museum fit the bill perfectly! It was also the perfect place for the husband and wife portraits following the ceremony! Both Courtney and I loved the small white house on the property and we spent most of the portrait time taking advantage of the dreamy light! As the day went, the temperature was getting colder, making it harder for the bridesmaids not to turn as blue as their dress in the pictures. It was particularly hard for one of the bridesmaid who had just flew in from Hong Kong for the wedding. But one of the bride and groom’s friend brought pizza to help the wedding party warm up. The wedding reception took place in Courtney and Matthew’s backyard and neighbor’s backyard down the street from the Cumberland Heritage Museum. They had a tent, bar and a few fire pits set up. One of the key event of the evening was an open mic styled speeches where guests were invited to make a quick speech.

Alagiri, 62, told media persons on Saturday that he was suspended for questioning large-scale corruption in the party. He says he will expose it on his birthday on January in Madurai.
Alagiri
The sibling war in the DMK is getting dirtier by day. A day after his suspension, former Union minister and elder son of DMK patriach M.K. Karunanidhi, M.K. Alagiri, has alleged large-scale corruption in the party, saying the party will lose in the Lok sabha elections. Meanwhile, his supporters conducted a meeting in Madurai to lend support to him.
Alagiri, 62, told media persons on Saturday that he was suspended for questioning large-scale corruption in the party, adding, he will expose it on his birthday on January 30 in Madurai.
"They didn't investigate corruption. I questioned it. There is proof of corruption in the party. I have evidence and I will prove it soon in Madurai. Democracy is dead in this party. I will make an important announcement on 31st of this month," he said.
Alagiri was suspended on Friday from the party on charges of going against the party's stand and airing divergent views on the issue of a possible alliance with actor-turned-politician Vijayakanth's DMDK. Alagiri was temporarily removed from all posts including the primary membership of DMK.
Lashing out at party leader M.K. Stalin, whom Karunanidhi has chosen as his successor, and the DMK high command, Alagiri has asked why action wasn't taken against his brother for putting up posters hailing him.
"They are putting posters for him (Stalin) calling him the future of the party. Why is there no action against him?" Alagiri said.
The suspended DMK leader now says he will not contest elections and the "party will lose" at the hustings.
Alagiri loyalists are now gearing up to prove his strength in the Southern Districts. They have put up posters across the district for his birthday. Supporters also conducted a meeting in Madurai on Saturday to show their strength.
"I am the opposition leader in the corporation and district joint secretary. Without giving notice, they have suspended. I have participated in all party meetings and have also worked for the people in the corporation raising voices," says expelled Alagiri supporter Raja.
On January 31, Alagiri may make an announcement regarding the next course of action. Many within the party and outside it are speculating if it could also be launching of a new party.
The sibling rivalry is not new in the DMK. But this time around, it seems to have hit a new low. And this month end could be crucial for both Alagiri and DMK.

No time to stand and stare ~ BULLy the BEAR BULLy the BEAR Login About Me Goals Newbie's FAQ SGX Announcement HKSE Announcement Monday, January 28, 2008 No time to stand and stare Monday, January 28, 2008 No comments Been quite busy these days, so hardly have time to do a quality posting or a good reflection of those books I've read. I think by this week, I should be more free to at least do a reflection of the Investment Madness book that I've covered a week ago. Market is gyrating up and down with huge up and down movement. Haven't been looking at charts for some time, so I've got no idea where are the supports/resistances. I only remember that 3000 is a support level and the last low is around 2800 thereabouts. It's crucial not to break below the previous low. Fengshui by Raymond Lo said that when the earth rat comes in, the market will be more stable and less volatile. It remains to be seen, of course, but we'll know soon enough with the chinese new year approaching in another week's time. In the meantime, stay tuned for more announcement by FED when they go into a two day meeting starting tmr and wed. Some say that they will cut another 50 basis point after last week's emergency cut of 75 basis point. DJ stands at -72 now.

The Obama administration rejected NASA’s proposal to detect asteroids on a collision course with Earth.
The rejection of NASA’s Near-Earth Object Camera’s (NEOCam) means the space agency won’t be able to complete its mission of detecting 90 percent of asteroids that are at least 459 feet in diameter by 2020. If the Obama administration’s decision stands, the search for incoming asteroids won’t even get started until at least 2023.
“We urge the new administration to direct NASA or another involved agency to fund an asteroid-hunting infrared space telescope through an open solicitation rather than a science mission competition (e.g. Discovery), since the primary purpose would be for planetary defense and space development,” the B612 Foundation, a private nonprofit group which advocates for defenses against dangerous asteroids, said in a press statement.
NASA would need at least five years of warning if an asteroid or comet is on a collision course with Earth, and there’s relatively little that can be done to shorten the response time.
“The biggest problem, basically, is there’s not a hell of a lot we can do about it at the moment,” Dr. Joseph Nuth, a scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, told Alphr. “If you look at the schedule for high-reliability spacecraft and launching them, it takes five years to launch a spacecraft.” Nuth noted that NASA only had 22 months of warning before a comet very nearly slammed into Mars in 2014.
Obama appointed NASA administrator Charles Bolden told reporters in 2013 that the only response to a “surprise” asteroid on a collision course with Earth is to “pray.” NASA’s record on stopping asteroids in simulations isn’t encouraging.
In a recent “wargame,” NASA and other federal agencies was unable to launch a deflection mission before a simulated asteroid hit Earth in 2020, causing the “city-killer” to eventually slam into the ocean just off Southern California. Federal Energy Management Agency (FEMA) personnel were forced to coordinate a mass evacuation of the metropolitan Los Angeles area due to a potential tsunami and impact damage.
The simulated asteroid was relatively small at only around 800 feet in diameter. It had a possibility of making impact anywhere along a long swath of Earth, including the U.S. Such an asteroid could strike with a force about 55 times stronger than the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in World War II.
“It’s not a matter of if—but when—we will deal with such a situation,” Dr. Thomas Zurbuchen, an administrator at NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington, said in a press statement. “But unlike any other time in our history, we now have the ability to respond to an impact threat through continued observations, predictions, response planning and mitigation.”
Global asteroid detection programs found more than 15,307 near-Earth objects of all sizes; 1,693 new near-Earth objects were identified this year alone, according to International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planets Center. These newly discovered near-Earth objects are part of a much larger population of more than 700,000 known asteroids in our solar system.
NASA and its European partners are now focused on finding objects that are 450 feet in diameter or larger. Those could devastate a city or country if they struck Earth.
In the event an asteroid can’t be prevented from hitting Earth, NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office would work with FEMA, the Department of Defense, and other federal agencies to coordinate disaster response.

In Benghazi on Sunday, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu offered the rebels official recognition [AFP]
Turkey has extended official recognition to Libya's rebels and offered at least $200 million in aid as part of a diplomatic shift away from the regime of longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi.
Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, met with rebel leaders in Benghazi during a one-day visit to the country on Sunday. He said his country now recognised the opposition National Transitional Council (NTC) as the legitimate representative of the Libyan people.
At the same time, Turkey officially withdrew its ambassador from Tripoli. Salim Levent Sahinkaya had left the Libyan capital in March due to the fighting and had not returned or been replaced.
Turkey has long maintained business ties with Gaddafi's Libya and initially expressed disapproval for NATO air strikes that sought to halt a regime advance on the rebel-held east. But since that campaign began, Turkey has distanced itself.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Davutoglu called Libya a "rising star" and said Turkey wanted to see the country succeed.
Rebels back off Gaddafi 'retirement' offer
After Davutoglu's press conference, a spokesman for the rebels retracted a statement made earlier by the opposition leader that Gaddafi could be allowed to "retire" if he gives up all his authority.
Abdel-Hafiz Ghoga suggested that Mustafa Abdel Jalil, the chairman of the NTC, was expressing a personal view and said that the idea is "not part of any discussions on our part in negotiations".
"Let Gaddafi show us one place in Libya where he hasn't harmed, tortured or killed people and he could stay there, but this place doesn't exist," Ghoga said on Sunday evening.
In an interview with the Reuters news agency earlier in the day, Jalil said that the longtime Libyan leader is free to "retire" and stay in the country if he resigns from his position and gives up all power. Jalil said he made the offer to Gaddafi via the United Nations one month ago and had not received a response.
Gaddafi now a 'wanted man'
The International Criminal Court (ICC) last week issued an arrest warrant for Gaddafi, his son, Saif al-Islam and his intelligence chief, Abdullah Sanussi, citing evidence of crimes against humanity committed against political opponents.
The rebel leadership has said it will do its best to see the three men arrested, but it appeared from Jalil's interview that the offer to Gaddafi still stood.
"If he desires to stay in Libya, we will determine the place and it will be under international supervision. And there will be international supervision of all his movements," he said.
"As a peaceful solution, we offered that he can resign and order his soldiers to withdraw from their barracks and positions, and then he can decide either to stay in Libya or abroad."
Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr, reporting from Benghazi, said news of the offer had been met with dismay by some residents and that it no longer stood, since Gaddafi was a wanted man.
But Jalil still seemed to stand by it. He said the rebel council believed Gaddafi could be held in a military barracks or a civilian building. Jalil is Gaddafi's former justice minister; he defected in the early days of the uprising, which began in mid-February.
There was no immediate reaction from the regime in Tripoli, where Gaddafi has been maintaining a tight hold in an effort to preserve his 41-year rule.
Zuma diplomacy
Meanwhile, South African President Jacob Zuma, who has failed so far in efforts to mediate an end to the conflict, announced he would be visiting Moscow to continue negotiations.
He visited Tripoli at the end of May as a representative of the African Union (AU) but failed to secure a concession from Gaddafi, and the rebels rejected his effort. One sticking point has been disagreements over Gaddafi's future.
The visit to Russia follows an AU summit in Equatorial Guinea, which sought to push a regional peace plan to end the conflict in the north African nation.
The Kremlin said in a statement late on Saturday that Zuma and Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president, held a telephone conversation in which they agreed to meet as soon as possible.
"The heads of state agreed on a personal meeting in the closest time to agree and co-ordinate the ensuing steps for a solution to the internal Libyan conflict," it said. | positive |
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has been the least effective person to hold that post in the past 50 years, according to results of Foreign Policy’s Ivory Tower survey, a poll of 660 U.S. international relations scholars released Thursday. Only two said Kerry was the most effective secretary of state.
The survey didn’t have scholars give explanations for their rankings, which had former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger as the most effective secretary of state of the past five decades. More than 32 percent of the surveyed scholars, or 213 of them, gave Kissinger that distinction. Nearly 20 percent, or 120 scholars, said they couldn't name the most effective secretary of state.
Secretary of state since 2013, Kerry has had a lot on his plate as the country’s top diplomat. Since he replaced Hillary Clinton, Kerry has had to deal with the crisis in Ukraine, the rise of the Islamic State militant group, last year’s war between Israel and Gaza, and negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program. Clinton was dubbed the most effective secretary of state by 58 scholars, or nearly 8.8 percent.
To put Kerry’s ranking into perspective, he was tied with Lawrence Eagleburger, who held the post for only six weeks during the George H.W. Bush administration, the Washington Post noted. But the Ivory Tower survey lists Kerry last.
Besides ranking the secretaries of state, the poll also sought the opinions of more than 1,600 scholars on the most important foreign policy issues facing the U.S. today and over the next 10 years. Global climate change topped both lists, while armed conflict in the Middle East was second for today’s challenges and third among issues over the next 10 years. Failed or failing states was ranked as the third-biggest challenge facing America today while China’s rising military power was the second-biggest concern in the next 10 years. | positive |
UPDATE: Sean David Kuntz was found deceased on Saturday July 1 by Lillooet RCMP, and the local Search and Rescue in the Fraser River. Police do not suspect foul play and the BC Coroners Service has conduct of the investigation.
RCMP are looking for a man who went missing while riding his bike from northern B.C. down to Vancouver Island earlier this month.
Sean Kuntz, 45, planned to ride from Smithers to Saanich to visit his mother. He left on June 9 and texted her four days later, telling her he was in between Quesnel and Williams Lake.
Kuntz, 45, is believed to have been sleeping on the side of the highway. RCMP said this photo was taken east of Houston, B.C. on June 10. (RCMP)
He hasn't contacted his mother since. Officials said the cyclist was last seen at the Cariboo Visitor Centre in 100 Mile House on June 14 — just over halfway through his 1,200-kilometre trip.
Kuntz is described as Caucasian, 5'11" and well-built with dark eyes and dark hair. He's also missing half of his thumb.
Officials said he's believed to have been sleeping on the side of the highway.
Anyone with information is asked to call RCMP. | positive |
"Energy Transition of Kecskemét" by Zita Szabó and Ágnes Sallay Home Search Browse Collections My Account About Digital Commons Network™ Skip to main content ScholarWorks@UMassAmherst My Account Home > FABOS > Vol. 7 > Iss. 1 (2022) Article Title Energy Transition of an industrial settlement through the example of Kecskemét Authors Zita Szabó, Hungarian Universíity of Agriculture and Life SciencesFollow Ágnes Sallay, Hungarian Universíity of Agriculture and Life SciencesFollow Publication Date August 2022 Abstract In the context of climate change to decrease greenhouse gas emissions the decarbonisation of the energy sector is the main goal (Masson-Delmotte et al. 2021). There is much research about the effects of energy resources including fossil fuels and renewables, but there are questions about the implementation of this knowledge into spatial planning. In this research, we examine the energy transition through the example of Kecskemét. The project area is situated in the Great Hungarian Plain, in the middle of Hungary. It is the eighth largest settlement with the population of 109 651 (Hungarian Central Statistical Office n.d.). Geographically, it is a typical example of a lowland settlement with a long history of agriculture. However, in the last decade industrial development has changed its characteristics after. In the last decade, industrial development has changed its characteristics after Mercedes-Benz opened its factory. Our research goal is to examine the possibilities and barriers of self-sufficient energy production of Kecskemét based on renewable sources. Which energy resources are available in the area? Which environmental affects are related to renewable resources specifically in the research area? Which landscape use tendencies characterize the area, and how do these tendencies effects the availability of renewable energy sources? How has been the fast-growing industry affected the land use system? How could landscape architecture improve to use renewable sources most efficiently? Firstly, we examine the land use characteristic of Kecskemét in time aspect to identify the tendencies, and the available renewable resources. Afterwards, the environmental effects of each resource are examined related to the land-use system. To put it into a broader context, we also identify the energy networks and their roles in decarbonisation and self-sufficient energy production. Finally, we present landscaping tools for energy efficiency. Geographic conditions and land-use systems influence the availability of renewable energy. The research area has potential in solar and wind energy, but both resources are not flexible and controllable. Lack of surface water also limits energy production. Water is not only a renewable energy resource but also plays a key role in thermal power plants. The study shows that self-sufficiency based on renewable energy has a time and space aspect and existing energy networks plays a key role in self-sufficiency. It is also visible that an industrial explosion cause difficulties to find a balance in energy production. Energy systems of settlement with the same character are more likely to be interpretable on a regional scale.

beast-against-cgl If shippers disappeared I wouldn’t have to worry about my cousin stumbling onto pedophilia whenever she searches up ‘black butler’.
Actually, your cousin shouldn’t be watching that show in the first place. Not only is it built around mature content, but the creator draws doujins for her own work, and I’m pretty sure there is at least one officially licensed hentai game for it.
That’s purely the fault of your cousin’s parents being really, REALLY shitty parents.
Honestly, you’re putting the mental well-being of yourself and others into the hands of total strangers. That’s not fucking okay. We don’t know you, and you’re NOT our responsibility. Honestly, use your fucking brain: Would you let a small child go by themselves to Columbia, and expect that the drug and murder capital of the world would mind its manners while they were present? Would you even send a small child downtown on their own? If the answer is ‘no’, then they shouldn’t be online by themselves.
I’m going to say this one last time: Your lack of maturity–and your inability to take responsibility for your own browsing–is your problem. The rest of the world is NOT going to change itself just for you. If you are going into PUBLIC SPACES, you are going to have to share those spaces with people that think and feel differently than you do. You have ZERO control over that, and the only thing your bitching accomplishes is making people want to produce more content just to spite you.
Literally nobody gives a fuck what you went through in life. Nobody gives a fuck how you feel. You are a total stranger online. You are nothing but words to the rest of us. You don’t give a fuck how CSA survivors that disagree with you feel–why the fuck should we care about YOU? You are NOT OUR PROBLEM.

TORONTO Zahi Hawass is back.
The famous, and at times controversial, Egyptologist is free of legal charges, free to travel and is launching a worldwide lecture tour with the aim of getting tourists back to Egypt, he told LiveScience in an interview.
Hawass also said that he believes there are some fantastic discoveries waiting to be made, including more tombs in the Valley of the Kings and a secret burial chamber, containing treasure, which he believes to be inside the Great Pyramid built by the pharaoh Khufu (also known as Cheops). [Image Gallery: Egypt's Valley of the Kings]
It's a turnaround for the archaeologist, who, just a few months ago, was under investigation and banned from traveling outside Egypt. At the time, there were a number of allegations related to his tenure as Egypt's antiquities chief in Hosni Mubarak's former government. These allegations reportedly included allowing antiquities to travel out of the country illegally, wasting public funds and using his position inappropriately to aid a charity run by Suzanne Mubarak (wife of the deposed Hosni Mubarak). He was banned from travelling outside Egypt while under investigation.
Hawass was head of the Supreme Council of Antiquities for nearly 10 years and became Egypt's first-ever antiquities minister near the end of Mubarak's regime. A revolution succeeded in tossing out Mubarak in February 2011 and Hawass was dismissed from his post a few months later. "All the accusations against me were dropped, were completely false, and this is why everything's finished, I can travel, I can do anything," he told LiveScience in an interview after a lecture held here on Monday at the Royal Ontario Museum.
The massive gallery where the lecture was held was filled to capacity, with a waiting list just as robust. The museum's director Janet Carding said that Egypt's ambassador to Canada, Wael Aboul-Magd, helped bring Hawass to Toronto and was in attendance.
[pullquote]
Hawass said that Toronto is only the beginning. He'll be in Montreal on June 6 and will be launching a worldwide tour.
"I'm traveling the whole world. I'm going to Brazil, going to Argentina at the end of the month, going to Australia, New Zealand, everywhere to promote tourism to Egypt and to bring the tourists back because, I think, I'm the only one who can really bring the tourists back to Egypt," he told LiveScience.
Tourism plummeted after Egypt's revolution, resulting in lower ticket sales at ancient sites, a situation that has the antiquities ministry strapped for cash.
"We don't have any money at all for excavation or preservation," he told the audience.
A hidden chamber inside the Great Pyramid
In the interview, and in his lecture, Hawass said that he is excited at the robot work that has been going on over the past two decades at the Great Pyramid. One chamber in the pyramid called the "Queen's Chamber" (although there is no evidence it was ever used for a queens burial) contains two shafts that go up into the pyramid but do not exit outside.
Robots have been up these shafts and found that both contain doorways with copper handles. When a robot drilled through one of the doors, they found a small chamber with what might be a sealed door behind it.
Ultimately, these shafts may point the way to a secret burial chamber where Khufu (Cheops) was buried, Hawass said. While the pyramid already has three known chambers (one of which contains a sarcophagus), he said the true burial place of the pharaoh has yet to be found.
"I really believe that Cheops chamber is not discovered yet and all the three chambers were just to deceive the thieves, and the treasures of Khufu [are] still hidden inside the Great Pyramid, and these three doors could be the key to open this burial chamber," he said in the interview. [Image Gallery: Glitzy Discovery at the Giza Pyramid]
"There is no pyramid of the 123 pyramids in Egypt that have these type of doors with copper handles," he added. "Really, I believe they're hiding something."
Another era for archaeology
Hawass is also very enthusiastic about finding new tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Within the past decade, two new tombs, KV 63 and 64, have been excavated and Hawass told LiveScience, and the Toronto audience, that he believes there are many more to be found.
"The tomb of Thutmose II, not found yet, the tomb of Ramesses VIII is not found yet, all the queens of dynasty 18 [1550-1292 B.C.] were buried in the valley and their tombs not found yet," he said in his lecture. "This could be another era for archaeology," he added in the interview.
Finding these tombs will pose a challenge. Ground-penetrating radar tests conducted while Hawass was antiquities chief had difficulty locating tombs and he said he believes that radar will not be effective in finding them.
Pharaohs were buried with their brains
If they find these pharaohs, they may also find their brains. Hawass and Dr. Sahar Saleem of Cairo University looked at CT scans of 12 royal mummies that date to between 1493-1156 B.C.
Based on their findings, detailed in the American Journal of Roentgenology, Hawass doesn't believe the Egyptians removed the brains of their dead pharaohs. "All these ideas about removing brains came from Herodotus," he said, referring to a Greek historian who lived more than 2,400 years ago. "It was wrong."
Hawass pointed out that "the brain of Tutankhamun was desiccated (dried) out butstill it's there."
A return as antiquities minister?
After a recent article in Smithsonian magazine, there was speculation that Hawass could be plotting his return as antiquities minister.
In the LiveScience interview, Hawass poured cold water over this idea, saying that it does not appeal to him at all.
"To become a minister, I don't like," he said.
"I only wear a suit and a tie when I come to give a lecture, but all my life, I'm in my jeans," Hawass said, adding he disagreed with the decision to make antiquities a cabinet-level position and hates the meetings required for a cabinet minister. "I can't stand being in the cabinet listening for nine hours of nonsense."
In terms of a future role in Egypt's antiquities ministry, Hawass said he plans to wait a year or two until the situation in Egypt improves. "In a year or two, after everything is relaxed, I would like to continue [building] the 24 museums" that are underway, he said. He also would like to help train young archaeologists and aid in repatriating Egyptian artifacts that are now abroad.
"All of this I need to continue," he said. "I hope one day I'll be able to do that."

HMAS Adelaide escorts the former Japanese whaling vessel towards Hobart in December. Credit:LSIS Sarah Williams Ten men on board the boat when it was raided, nine Chinese and a Singaporean, have already been charged with attempting to import a commercial quantity of a border-controlled drug. The six Victorian men are expected to be charged with the same offence and face court later on Wednesday. The syndicate allegedly tried to use an increasingly common method for drug importation, known as the "mothership" method where a ship importing drugs from overseas loiters off the coast before being met by a smaller boat which brings the drugs to shore. But it is one of the first times this method has been attempted in Victoria, as the seas are considered more treacherous than in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia, where similar schemes have been detected.
Cocaine found aboard the Kaiyo Maru No.8. The joint operation targeting the drug syndicate and the boat, codenamed Barada, has been heralded by law enforcement as an almost unparalleled effort of collaboration. It involved the Australian Federal Police and Victoria Police's joint organised crime task force, Australian Border Force, Australian Defence Force, Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission and Tasmania Police. The former whaling boat, Kaiyo Maru No.8, after docking in Hobart Sources said it was legally complex and quite uncommon for a boat to be raided despite never entering waters in Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone.
But, after the boat was found to have started moving even further from Australia, authorities gained approval for the operation, based on strong evidence that a significant amount of drugs was aboard. Cocaine allegedly found on the Japanese whaling boat. The Navy's amphibious assault ship HMAS Adelaide was then used to intercept the 50-metre vessel. It is suspected the crew had deliberately avoided entering Australian waters, knowing it made their interception less likely. Authorities are still investigating the exact weight, purity, and origin of the cocaine, but it is expected that at least 180 kilograms was onboard, and that it came from South America.
The drug had been wrapped in bricks weighing about one kilogram and packed into nine hessian sacks which were found in a small storage room on the boat. The origin of the Kaiyo Maru No.8, which was last registered in Japan, is also being investigated. It remains unclear where the boat was launched from, although authorities believe that because of modifications to the vessel, including the installation of extra fuel tanks, it was possible it could have avoided docking for many months. It will be investigated if the vessel had been used to make other drug shipments, although it is unlikely the Melbourne syndicate had attempted any other large-scale importations. It is suspected the crew were sailing towards South America when they were intercepted.
AFP Acting Deputy Commissioner Neil Gaughan said the investigators that worked on the operation had put in "long hours over the last few months to stop this group benefiting from the exploitation of Australians". "Investigations into organised crime syndicates such as this are incredibly complex and require significant resources, patience and sophisticated police work to get successful results." Australian Border Force Commissioner Roman Quaedvlieg said there had been an increase in commercial vessels, including from China, being used for drug importation. "This operation highlights the sophisticated and highly converged nature of transnational crime; an ex-research vessel, crewed by nine Chinese nationals and one Singaporean national, and attempting to import cocaine produced in South America." The collaborative effort by law enforcement to reduce the harm caused by illegal drugs would continue, Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Shane Patton said. | positive |

It all started with
Do read RT @pragmatic_d What does the SGDP growth rate data of states since 2004-05 tell us? Evidently, nothing. http://t.co/A5miAXsr — Amit Paranjape (@aparanjape) May 2, 2012
and then
BS Editor AKB punctures Gujarat's growth claims in his column.6% growth for 7 yrs.Whereas Mah, TN & Haryana hav had double digit growth — Vivek Sengupta (@vsengupta) May 2, 2012
The original article in Business Standard by AK Bhattacharya.
Then i had tweeted a bunch in the morning and left it at that and forgot about the same.
http://t.co/EEtb5Rsh – Basic Arithmetic & Economics gone for a toss and he writes for business standard — Vijay (@centerofright) May 2, 2012
So Mr. Bhattacharya writes that Guj had 6.3% growth Annually from 2004 – 2005 to 2010-2011 in 7 years 1/n — Vijay (@centerofright) May 2, 2012
2/n – 2004-05 -GSDP at current prices – 203373 Crores – 2010-2011 – 513173 Cr – Avg Growth 21.76% — Vijay (@centerofright) May 2, 2012
3/n – 2004-05 – GSDP at constant prices – 203373 Crores – 2010-2011 – 365295 Cr – Avg growth rate – 11.37% — Vijay (@centerofright) May 2, 2012
4/n – 2004-05 – NSDP at current prices – 172265 Crores – 2010-2011 – 440942 Cr – Avg growth rate – 22.28% — Vijay (@centerofright) May 2, 2012
5/n – 2004-05 – NSDP at current prices – 172265 Crores – 2010-2011 – 309409 Cr – Avg growth rate – 11.37% — Vijay (@centerofright) May 2, 2012
6/n – soeconomists, mathematicians and experts, can you please look at numbers and say how was it 6.3% growth for 7 years in guj — Vijay (@centerofright) May 2, 2012
Then Soutik From BBC Came up with this Gem and a link to his BBC Article with a Headline – Is Gujarat Red Hot Economy a Myth? quoting the same Business Standard article.
The Original BBC Article is Below.
As usual again the crowd went delierious now with even BBC quoting it.
That is when i said enough and put out a challenge of a lakh of rupees for anyone to prove the BS & BBC Numbers or retract and modify.
I am ready to put in a lakh of rupees to anyone who can prove that Gujarat has grown by 6.3% in last 7 years as mentioned in BS — Vijay (@centerofright) May 2, 2012
Any one ready for that challenge? Else a public apology by everyone who carried that BS article including Rediff, BBC and others is in order — Vijay (@centerofright) May 2, 2012
Last but not the least – Accept your intellectual dishonesty of not doing your fricking homework and you call urself esteemed — Vijay (@centerofright) May 2, 2012
After the above then the first retraction and corrected article in Business Standard comes up.
Followed by the BBC with a change in Head line – Gujarat IS a Red Hot Economy – Article below.
All i say is, you may have liking or hatred towards Narendra Modi. Try the electoral route to defeat him or try proving that the numbers he quote are wrong with facts and please don’t peddle falsehoods as facts.
Also remember that every state’s growth is a growth for India as a whole. I donot know how folks can forget this simple fact. The reason the negative campaign was to be countered as remembered that a lie repeated N number of times becomes the truth.
P.S. Business Standard carried this correction in their news paper on Page 10 4th May Edition. Just putting it on record.

Coffee lovers may be on to something. Aside from a necessary aid to wake up in the morning, a new study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute has found that drinking coffee could protect you from skin cancer.
The study surveyed over 447,000 people in the United States over an average of 10 years. Those who drank coffee were associated with a decreased risk of developing melanoma skin cancer. They found those who drank four or more cups of joe a day were 20 percent less likely to develop melanoma.
Melanoma skin cancer is mainly caused by exposure to UV radiation. This can be through natural sunlight or the artificial light used in sunbeds. About 12,800 people in the UK are diagnosed with melanoma each year.
The findings builds on a 2007 study published by Dr. Ernest Abel, which found that risk of non-melanoma skin cancer also fell with increased coffee consumption.
Decaffeinated coffee had no affect on the risk of skin cancer in both studies. | positive |

But that doesn’t mean intelligent, inquisitive engineers shouldn’t give modern electronics gadgets a good hack. The rewards tend to outweigh the drawbacks. As Steve Ciarcia argues in Circuit Cellar 264 (July), you stand to learn a lot by looking inside electronics systems, especially broken ones. Even if you can’t fix them, you can pull out the components and use them in future projects. In “Fix It or Toss It?” he writes: No prophetic diatribes or deep philosophical insights this month. Just the musings of an old guy who apparently doesn’t know when to throw in the towel. Let me explain. I have a friend with a couple LCD monitors he purchased about two years ago. Perhaps due to continuous duty operation (only interrupted by automatic “Sleep mode”), both were now exhibiting some flakiness, particularly when powering up from “sleep.” More importantly, if power was completely shut down, as in a power failure, they wouldn’t come back on at all without manual intervention. He asked if they could be repaired or must they be replaced. Since I remembered something about a few manufacturers who’d had a bunch of motherboard problems a while back due to bad electrolytic capacitors, I suspected a power supply problem. Of course, agreeing to look into the problem and figuring out how to get inside the monitors was a whole different issue. Practically all of today’s electronics are not meant to be opened or serviced internally at all. Fortunately, my sledgehammer disassembly techniques weren’t so bad that I couldn’t reassemble them. In the process, I found several bulging and leaking capacitors on the power supply board. After replacing the capacitors, the monitors came right up with no problems. Power supplies just seem to have it out for me. Recently, I had a wireless router stop working and, after a little diagnosing, I determined that its power supply (an external wall-wart) had failed. While hardly worth my time, I was curious, so I cracked open the sealed case to see just how complicated it was. Sure enough, replacing one scorched electrolytic capacitor and gluing the case back together put me back in business. — ADVERTISMENT— —Advertise Here— All this got me thinking about the relative value of various electronic devices. What is the replace/repair decision line? These $200 high-tech electronic LCD monitors failed because of $3 worth of old-tech components that I was fortunately able to fix. It took time to do the repair that has some value, but it also takes time to shop for and purchase a replacement. There must be better monitors these days for the same price. Should I have told him to toss them and use the opportunity to upgrade? It’s interesting to consider the type of person who repairs stuff like this (being an EE with a fully equipped lab doesn’t hurt either). I mean, I do it primarily because I like knowing how things work. Okay, so I’m getting a little carried away after fixing a couple burnt capacitors, but there’s still an incredible sense of satisfaction in being able to put something back together and having it work. Since I was a kid, dissecting circuits and equipment helped me understand the design choices that were made, and my curiosity naturally lead me to engineering. Now, I recognize that people like me who repair their own electronics for curiosity or adventure are very much in the minority. So, what about the average person with a failed piece of $200 electronics? For them, the only goal is getting the functionality back as soon as possible. Do they go to a repair service where it takes longer and involves a couple trips? Worse yet, some things just can’t be repaired, and the bad news then is having both the repair “inspection” cost and the replacement cost. I’m guessing that in 99% of typical cases, the no-brainer decision is to toss the failed unit and buy a new one—without ever giving me a chance to tear it apart and play with it. Let’s face it. Taking modern equipment apart to make even simple repairs is next to impossible. The manufacturers use every trick in the design book to minimize the cost of the goods. This means leaving out features that might make end-user repair easier. Cases that snap together (once)—or worse, are heat-welded together—are cheaper than cases with screws or latches. Most board electronics are custom-labeled surface mount devices, everything uses custom connectors, and the short cabling between boards has no slack to swing out subassemblies for access, and so forth. You couldn’t even fit a scope probe inside most of this stuff if you tried. Sure, some manufacturers do still put component reference designators in the silkscreen, but I suspect it’s so they can repair subassemblies on their production line before final assembly, not make it easier for me to poke around. Anyway, like I said, there’s no prophetic conclusion to be drawn from all of this. I fix stuff because I enjoy the challenge and I usually learn something from it. Even if I can’t repair the item, I usually keep some of the useful components and/or subassemblies for experimenter one-off projects or proof-of-concept prototypes. You never know when something in the junk box might prove useful. Circuit Cellar 264 (July 2012) is now available on newsstands and at the Circuit Cellar Webshop.

CFL bulbs are great, but the mercury they use can be harmful. LEDs don’t use mercury, but the technology is still pretty rough, and it’s tough to get something that resembles a normal lightbulb from them. There’s been a couple of examples of how LED light can be used as a replacement for normal lighting, but nothing that’s really practical.
GE just announced a new lightbulb that’s going to change all that. The new technology combines the omnidirectional light of a incandescent bulb, and the power savings of and LED. The new bulb is expected to last 17 years before it needs replaced, which is about 25 times longer then a 40w incandescent. There’s a down side to the new bulb though, it’s going to cost between $40 to $50. The new bulb produces 450 lumens, which is the equivalent of a 40w incandescent, or 10w CFL, but the LED will only consume 9w of power. Expect to see the new LED bulb sometime in 2011.

While Democrats have been busy reacting to the administration’s blockbuster-of-the-day, Republicans have been quietly working in Congress to alter procedural laws that allow consumers, employees, citizens, and others to challenge corporate and government wrongdoing.
Last week, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee voted to introduce H.R. 985, the Fairness in Class Action Litigation Act of 2017, a bill that would undermine class actions and other mass lawsuits by a set of deceptively labeled procedural reforms.
ADVERTISEMENT
What better way to accomplish the legislative ends of the business lobby, while the executive branch offers an endless stream of diversions, than to tinker with procedure? “I’ll let you write the substance,” John Dingell Jr., the longest-serving member of Congress in history, once said, “you let me write the procedure, and I’ll screw you every time.”
The bill says that its goal is to “assure fair and prompt recoveries for class members and multi-district litigation plaintiffs with legitimate claims.” But no plaintiff with a legitimate claim would favor this legislation. The bill’s provisions read like a wish list for corporate defendants. Rather than offer ways to distinguish meritorious from non-meritorious claims, or to distinguish fair from unfair settlements, the bill erects obstacles to reduce the chance that corporations and government actors will be held accountable for wrongdoing.
The federal class action rule, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23, permits class actions only if stringent requirements have been met. Under the existing rule, which has been interpreted and refined by courts for decades, plaintiffs must prove that the number of claimants is too large to handle by standard techniques, that the claims share common questions, and that class representatives are typical and will adequately represent the class members.
For money damages class actions, plaintiffs must prove that common questions predominate over individual questions, and they must convince the judge that a class action is the superior way to resolve the dispute.
The courts, particularly the Supreme Court, have interpreted Rule 23 strictly. Many observers think that the pendulum already has swung too far toward restricting the use of class actions for litigating group claims.
The bill, rather than leave well enough alone, adds new layers of restrictions. It requires that plaintiffs prove that each class member suffered the same “type and scope” of injury, a tall order in discrimination cases and other worthy class actions. It requires that plaintiffs demonstrate a mechanism for identifying each class member, an impossible task in many consumer class actions, and unnecessary for achieving justice.
The bill forbids any class representative who was previously a client of the class lawyer, thus standing in the way of institutional investors hiring experienced lawyers in securities class actions. It prohibits payment of attorney's’ fees until after all class members have been paid, a ludicrous proposal in a world where, appropriately, class remedies may last for half a century or more.
Beyond these burdens on class actions, the bill makes various changes to the procedures for multi-district litigation — the dominant form of mass litigation in federal court — to reduce the ability of plaintiffs’ lawyers to collect their contractual fees and to reduce the ability of judges to move the cases toward resolution.
Class actions, to be sure, need improvement. In particular, the lawyers who dominate class action practice too often get away with settlements that enrich themselves rather than provide meaningful benefits for class members. Critical observers, including myself, have urged judges to intervene more aggressively to prevent self-serving conduct by class action lawyers.
Judges increasingly take this responsibility to heart, and a number of courts recently have struck down settlements that failed to provide real benefits for class members.
But to say that class actions have problems is not to say that we would be better off without them. At their best, class actions empower plaintiffs to pursue claims that have legal merit but cannot efficiently be litigated on an individual basis.
Class actions remain an essential tool for consumers, investors, employees, and others to fight corporate wrongdoing. And they remain an essential tool for citizens, voters, inmates, immigrants, and others to challenge government conduct.
We are all consumers, and many of us are investors and employees. We are citizens, voters, inmates, or immigrants. In a host of capacities, we are all potential victims of wrongdoing by corporations and government entities.
In other words, we are all prospective class members in lawsuits where our interests are at stake but where individual litigation is unrealistic.
A genuine effort to clean up class actions would benefit us in this capacity. But a crass effort to gut class actions — which is the only fair way to describe H.R. 985 — harms all of us.

Sharing a common frustration with the state of patent analytics, they set out to build an easy to operate and useful patent analytics tool that would be freely accessible to the patent community and general public. The site now receives over 250,000 monthly visitors. Mission (it's all about being useful) Patent Buddy's mission is to provide insightful information to and about the patent community. Our focus is on patents, inventors, patent owners, and attorneys/agents. Our goal is to create insightful information that is easy to access. We strive to provide your entire patent analytic needs in our software. Data Integrity We have all been frustrated by data that has not been normalized. We have developed algorithms and processes that do a better job of normalizing data than existing systems, regardless of their cost. We think you will be impressed with the accuracy of our data if you compare it to our competitors. We all know that data normalization is an imperfect art. In many of our competitors systems there will be multiple entries for the same inventor; e.g. William Smith, W R Smith, William R Smith, William R. Smith. This is not a problem with Patent Buddy as we have cross referenced this information so Mr. Smith appears as one inventor in our system. Insightful and Innovative We are driven by a simple question: what type of information and manner of presentation would be the most useful? For example, when measuring the strength of a patent by its forward citations, we not only wanted to know the number of forward citations, but how that patent compares against other patents that were filed in the same period and in the same technology class. As a result, you are able to see which patents are strongest in your portfolio, areas of weakness, and holes in your patent portfolio.

Nielsen’s official TV season ended almost a month ago, but because we live in the DVR Era, final numbers for the 2011–12 campaign came out just a few days ago. Some fundamentals about the season remain unchanged from what we knew at the end of May: CBS is still the most-watched network, nobody watched Bent, and far too many people tuned in for Rob! But now that all the data is in, Vulture has been able to dive deeply into the ratings and uncover a slew of fun factoids about What We Watched during the season now ended. Read on to discover why zombies are even more powerful than you thought, how Shonda Rhimes owns the hearts (and vajayjays) of American women, and which show ended up being the least-watched program on all of network TV.
(Some housekeeping notes: When we refer to the impact DVRs have on a show’s rating, we’re talking about Nielsen 2011–12 season-to-date ratings for first-run broadcasts only. When breaking down how shows do in various demo groups, we’re referring to numbers for combined live and DVR viewing up to seven days after first broadcast; and, unless otherwise noted, we count both first-run and repeat telecasts.)
Why Modern Family Is Really TV’s No. 1 Show With Young Adults …
DVRs definitely make a difference in overall standings, as do repeats. In terms of entertainment programs, American Idol is tops among viewers 18 to 49 when you count only viewing that takes place the day it airs, followed closely by The Voice. Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, and Two and a Half Men are all grouped together in third place. These standings are based on ratings for both originals and repeats, because Nielsen rules say encores count in the official standings, if they air in a show’s regular timeslot. But this gives reality shows like Idol and Voice an advantage, since they rarely air reruns and most comedies (and many dramas) on network TV air a lot of repeats. So what happens when you take out the repeats and also include people who watch via DVR? Boom! Suddenly, Modern Family jumps dramatically to become the No. 1 entertainment show on TV. Plus, Big Bang leapfrogs over the singing shows to No. 2, while Idol and Two and a Half Men have to settle for third.
… Unless You Don’t Count DVRs
No DVRs at all? Suddenly, the No. 1 show among viewers under 50 is The Voice, which edges out Idol by 0.1 of a rating point (but only because NBC kind of cheated and counted the post–Super Bowl debut of Voice in its average). The No. 1 comedy? Sans DVRs, it’s now Two and a Half Men, followed by Big Bang Theory. Modern Family settles for third. In a world without DVRs, Criminal Minds and NCIS: LA get higher ratings than Grey’s Anatomy.
The Ten Shows We’d Rather Watch Later
Ten shows are so DVR-friendly, they actually get higher ratings via DVR playback than they do live. Fringe rules this category: Its live-only adults 18 to 49 rating is a tiny 0.8, but it delivers a 1.1 rating just via time-shifting, a whopping 138 percent gain. (We’re counting any DVR viewing at all, including folks who watch the same night a show airs). Friday time slot rival Grimm follows a similar pattern, averaging a 1.1 rating live and a 1.5 with DVR audiences. Eight other network shows that draw more viewers outside of their time slots: Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, Modern Family, The Office, Up All Night, House, Glee, and New Girl.
Men Are From Mars, Women Love Reality Shows
Credit (or blame) young women for the continued abundance of reality shows on network TV. Nine of Nielsen’s top twenty shows among adult women under 35 are unscripted: The performance and results shows for The Voice and Idol, as well as the performance of The X Factor, are all in the top ten, while the results show for X, as well as The Bachelorette, America’s Got Talent, and The Bachelor, land in the top twenty. By contrast, dudes in the same age category only consider the performance episodes of The Voice, Idol, and X worthy of their twenty most-watched shows.
A Tale of Two Networks
The gap in audience between CBS and NBC is pretty stunning. The Eye’s least-watched scripted entertainment series last season was A Gifted Man, which drew an average of 8.63 million viewers each week in L7 and ranked No. 59. It got the ax. And yet, Gifted Man regularly brought in almost as many weekly fans as watch NBC’s most-watched weekly scripted series, Smash (9.3 million viewers, No. 47) and Harry’s Law (9 million, No. 52). (Smash will be back, but Harry’s won’t because it skews too old for NBC’s taste). Overall, nearly twenty scripted shows on NBC, including Law & Order: SVU and The Office, had smaller total audiences than Gifted.
Maybe It’s Time for Zombie Xtina?
Among viewers under 35, the top-rated non-sports entertainment show on TV last season wasn’t on a broadcast network. AMC’s The Walking Dead averaged a stunning 6.6 rating in this demo, ranking No. 1. (NBC’s The Voice was the No. 2 show, and tops on broadcast.) In the broader, more coveted category of adults under 50, the zombies still impressed: Dead averaged a 5.1 and would rank No. 8 among all shows if Nielsen published a combined broadcast-cable list. (One other caveat: As noted earlier, repeats bring down the average for many network shows. Dead’s average only includes originals. If you only look at original runs of network shows, ABC’s Modern Family suddenly averages a 6.7 in adults under 35 — and reclaims the top spot in the demo. Damn those Nielsen rules!)
Revenge: Not As Sweet As It Seems
Vulture loves Revenge. Everyone in the media loves Revenge. But check this: Even with DVR data figured in, the cray-cray Graysons manage just a 3.0 rating with adults under 50. That’s slightly smaller than the average ratings for Terra Nova, Desperate Housewives, and House, all of which have been canceled. Part of the problem: The show aired at 10 p.m., where network dramas have struggled to compete against competition from cable and DVRs. Still, even among 10 p.m. dramas, Revenge isn’t as hot as its buzz: CSI, Hawaii Five-0, The Mentalist, and Smash all outperform it in the demo; it’s tied with Private Practice. The good news is ABC has wisely decided to shift Revenge to Sundays at 9 p.m., right behind the red-hot Once Upon a Time.
Don’t Call Her Adorkable
Zooey Deschanel is the Bill Cosby of the Girls generation: Season one of New Girl is the No. 1 scripted show on broadcast TV among women under 35 — bigger than Modern Family, Glee, or the nerds on The Big Bang Theory. (The only network show bigger than Zooey is NBC’s unscripted competition series The Voice. But its average was boosted by its post–Super Bowl debut).
The Show Everyone Watches, But Nobody Talks About
It is impossible to underestimate the power of CBS’s NCIS. NBC has been able to declare its Sunday Night Football franchise as TV’s most-watched program because, according to Nielsen rules, repeat telecasts of a show count against its average. Since there are no repeats in football (no, the NFL Network doesn’t count), but CBS makes sure to rerun NCIS whenever it can, the latter show’s overall average comes out below football (and American Idol). If you count only first-run episodes, however, NCIS is seen by 22.4 million patriotic Americans each week, nearly 1.5 million more than NBC’s Sunday pigskin. Among the ad-coveted demo of adults under 50, however: Football averages a whopping 8.0 rating, far ahead of NCIS’s 4.9.
Rupert Murdoch’s Teen Fetish
Rupert Murdoch owns the minds of American teenagers. Fox has six of the top ten shows among viewers ages 12 to 17. In order, they’re Glee, American Idol (performance shows), Family Guy, Idol (results), The Cleveland Show, Napoleon Dynamite, and The X Factor (results and performance). The network is particularly mighty with teen boys: The top ten scripted shows on network TV all air on Fox. (The highest-rated non-Fox show in the teen male demo? ABC’s Modern Family.)
The Shonda Gap
Talk about a gender gap: Among men 18-34, Fox’s The Cleveland Show, perhaps because of its proximity to Sunday afternoon football, is a big hit: It ranks No. 18 with young guys. But among women of the same age, Cleveland might as well be in Moscow, ranking a dismal 87th place, well behind canceled shows such as The Finder, The River, and The Playboy Club. On the flip side, NBC’s Smash is a big hit with women under 35, ranking No. 14 (and tied with the results show for The X Factor). Among men of this certain age? Smash falls all the way to No. 62, even lower rated than Whitney and Desperate Housewives. Still, that’s nothing compared to the Shonda Gap: Ms. Rhimes’s Private Practice is one of TV’s twenty biggest entertainment shows in prime time with women under 35. With guys 18 to 34, the docs ended their season tied for 105th place, below even Are You There, Chelsea?
The Kids Love Their Sitcoms
Reality TV may seem played out, but the genre still provides most broadcast nets with their most-watched entertainment shows. For ABC, it’s The Bachelor; for NBC, The Voice; for Fox, American Idol. CBS’s MVP is NCIS. Younger viewers may be tiring of unscripted fare, however (or are simply getting their fix on cable). Among adults under 35, the No. 1 show on three of the Big Four nets is a comedy: Modern Family (ABC), New Girl (Fox), The Big Bang Theory (CBS), The Voice (NBC).
But Dramas? Not So Much
Younger viewers gave up watching dramas on the big broadcast networks last season. Only six hour-long dramas made Nielsen’s top 25 with viewers under 35: Grey’s Anatomy, Once Upon a Time, House, Desperate Housewives, Smash, and Alcatraz. (Glee is considered a comedy by Fox and the TV Academy.) Three of those six shows are now dead, while Grey’s is headed toward the exits (specifically, its ninth season).
ABC: No Penises Allowed
ABC says it targets younger women (those under 50), and it seems to be reaching said target. The network boasted seven of the top twenty shows in this demo group. On the flip side, the following should scare Shawn Ryan, whose testosterone-pumped drama Last Resort debuts on ABC this fall. Among male viewers under 50, the Alphabet network pretty much doesn’t exist: It has just two entertainment shows, Modern Family (No. 3) and Once Upon a Time (No. 35), that crack Nielsen’s top 40 list.
Nobody’s Watching
It’s a modest hit in Canada, but the CW’s broadcasts of The LA Complex will be remembered for something else: During the 2011–12 season, nothing else on the five broadcast networks had a lower viewer count. The five episodes the network broadcast in-season averaged just 609,000 viewers (and yes, that includes DVR playback). Leave out the tiny CW and NBC’s Saturday night infomercial for Ford, something called Escape Routes, captures the bottom slot, with a mere 1.1 million weekly viewers. As for established shows, it saddens us to report that TV’s lowest-rated returning series was Gossip Girl, which, even with DVR usage included, drew an average of just 1.6 million viewers. | positive |
Against Me! to Play North Carolina in Protest of Anti-LGBTQ Laws
Photo: Greg Gallinger
Published Apr 14, 2016
Last week, Bruce Springsteen cancelled an upcoming show in North Carolina to show support for the LGBTQ community in the wake of the state's recently passed "Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act." Also known as House Bill 2, the law mandates that transgendered people must use public bathrooms that correspond with the biological sex listed on their birth certificate, and no longer requires businesses to uphold policies against sexual orientation and gender identity-based discrimination.And while other artists like Ringo Starr and Bryan Adams have followed the Boss's lead and cancelled shows in states passing discriminatory legislation, Against Me! are taking a different, but equally defiant, stance against House Bill 2.Frontwoman Laura Jane Grace — who has become a beacon for the LGBTQ community since coming out as a transgender woman in 2012 — has announced that her band will go ahead with playing a previously scheduled show in Charlotte on May 15 as her own form of protest."What something like HB 2 does is it makes trans people fearful, and when you're being made a target, the natural inclination is to go into hiding," Grace told the Washington Post . "That's why going there now and being visible is all the more important."Grace also spoke to Buzzfeed , applauding other artists for taking a stance against the new law."Bryan Adams and Bruce Springsteen aren't transgender," she said. "For them to say, 'I think this bill is messed up and I'm not going to go here and be part of the state,' that seems like the effort of an ally, which is really commendable."Nevertheless, she reiterated the importance of being present and drawing attention to the anti-LGBTQ legislation. She also highlighted the differences between her band and the megastars that have spoken out so far. "No one would care if we canceled," she said.Grace is set to release a memoir about her life and experiences with gender dysphoria called Tranny . It's due out on November 15. | positive |
Michelle Alexander
Michelle Alexander, the author of an acclaimed book on mass incarceration, said Wednesday that African American voters should not support Hillary Clinton because of policies that former president Bill Clinton enacted and she supported that were detrimental to black communities.
In an essay in The Nation, Alexander, the author of “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness,” said that black voters have been “remarkably loyal to the Clintons for more than 25 years” and blacks appear to be supporting Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders now, despite his vow to take on Wall Street and tackle mass incarceration.
“What have the Clintons done to earn such devotion?” Alexander wrote in the essay, entitled ‘Why Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Deserve the Black Vote.’ “Did they take extreme political risks to defend the rights of African Americans? Did they courageously stand up to right-wing demagoguery about black communities? Did they help usher in a new era of hope and prosperity for neighborhoods devastated by deindustrialization, globalization, and the disappearance of work?
“No,” she wrote. “Quite the opposite.
Alexander’s essay comes as Clinton moves on from her defeat in the New Hampshire primary and into South Carolina, where there is a large number of black voters. Former Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. is featured in a Clinton commercial running in South Carolina that is meant to appeal to black voters.

“I’ve known her for almost 25 years,” Holder says in the 30-second Clinton ad. “This is a woman who’s fought her whole life for children, to protect civil rights, voting rights and today Hillary is pushing hard for tougher gun laws and police accountability. If you want to make sure Republicans don’t take us backward, help Hillary move us forward.”
But Alexander, an associate professor of law at Ohio State University, said that while the Clintons are “courting the black vote,” President Clinton “presided over the largest increase in federal and state prison inmates of any president in American history.” She points out that the former president supported the 100-to-1 sentencing disparity for crack versus powder cocaine, championed the idea of a federal “three strikes” law and signed a $30 billion crime bill that created dozens of new federal capital crimes and mandated life sentences for some three-time offenders.
Both Bill and Hillary Clinton have expressed regret over the crime bill. In July, the former president addressed the issue at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s annual meeting in Philadelphia.
“I signed a bill that made the problem worse,” Clinton told the group. “And I want to admit it.

A few months earlier, Hillary Clinton told an audience at Columbia University in New York that it is time for a nationwide overhaul of what she called failed policing and prison strategies. While she did not mention her husband, many of those policies grew out of the crackdown on drug crimes and the harsh sentencing policies that took place before and when Bill Clinton was president.
“We need to restore balance to our criminal justice system,” Clinton told the audience in her April speech.
A Clinton spokesman did not immediately respond to a comment about the Alexander piece.
Alexander’s book is considered to be the Bible for many sentencing reform advocates, attorneys who have it on their shelves and inmates who have copies of it in their prison cells. Last fall, Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said the book inspired him to visit San Quentin State Prison with his wife. “The New Jim Crow” is cited constantly during the bipartisan efforts to overhaul the criminal justice system and reverse the nation’s costly and troubling mass incarceration of mostly people of color. | positive |
As he spiraled downward from civic-minded citizen of the year in Port Orange to meth-making motel dweller, Pete Atwood has confounded the people who once knew him as an affable and responsible individual.
As he spiraled downward from civic-minded citizen of the year in Port Orange to meth-making motel dweller, Pete Atwood has confounded the people who once knew him as an affable and responsible individual who worked tirelessly for his community.
But in the last five years, the 66-year-old Atwood has been arrested six times, half of those apprehensions for cooking meth in roadside motels with people half his age, police reports show.
His most recent meth-cooking incident on Feb. 10 in room 12 at the Town & Country Motel in Port Orange got him arrested along with two women, one of them a 21-year-old.
In 2012, the year he was arrested three times, he deserted his wife of 36 years and emptied the couple's bank account leaving his former spouse “penniless” to the point she had to apply for food stamps, divorce papers show.
Those who have known him for more than two decades described a man who cared about his city — Port Orange — and who was involved with almost everything from entertainment to planning and zoning. Those same people are wondering what they could have done, if anything, to help thwart Atwood's free fall into a world of drug addiction and drug manufacturing.
“His is a story of a real community tragedy and a real personal tragedy,” said John E. Evans of DeLand. “I don't know what happened to him.”
Atwood's ex-wife Jayne Atwood believes her former spouse's dive into drug addiction began in 1992 after he was in a car accident. Jayne Atwood said it was then her husband started taking pain pills. Port Orange Mayor Allen Green, who said he's known Atwood about 30 years, said Atwood once told him he had back pain when he worked in food management.
“He said he took pain pills for his back. If that's what got him in trouble, I don't know,” Green said.
Like Evans, Green hailed Atwood for his extensive work in the community.
“His involvement in this community was amazing,” Green said. “I'm saddened by the current results and I don't know how to help him.”
On Oct. 30, 2012, Atwood told a Daytona Beach Shores investigator that he had a “problem with being addicted to methamphetamine,” an arrest report shows.
That day the Daytona Beach Shores Department of Public Safety arrested Atwood and a 32-year-old woman inside Unit 6 at the Famous Shores Motel, 3738 S. Atlantic Ave. Atwood said he kept chemicals needed to manufacture meth under the kitchen sink of his motel room, the report shows.
Atwood pleaded no contest to a charge of manufacturing methamphetamine and was given drug offender probation by Circuit Judge Leah Case in May 2013. He violated probation in August of that year after he was again caught manufacturing meth and was re-arrested, court records show. His probation was revoked in October 2013 and he served 102 days in the county jail.
He was released on Feb. 8 only to be arrested again on Feb. 10 at the Town & Country by Port Orange police, a report shows. This time, Atwood invoked his Miranda rights and asked for an attorney, the arrest report shows. He is still in custody at the jail and has repeatedly declined requests for to be interviewed.
When she filed for divorce in July 2012, Jayne Atwood's petition for dissolution of marriage summarized hers and her husband's final days together: “He deserted me with all the overdue bills. He transferred joint funds to an unknown bank account. He left me penniless and failed to pay mortgage, property taxes and income taxes. He is hooked on crack cocaine and is hiding out. I have had severe stress and mental abuse.”
Reached by telephone earlier this week, Jayne Atwood said her former husband “was a good person.”
That's not disputed by either Evans or Green. Both men said Atwood is the type of person who would help anyone and they recalled Atwood's heyday in Port Orange when he was part of Family Days with founder Al Bell.
Atwood came into the Family Days fold after he met Bell and he soon became vice president of the board. In 2007, after being involved with several organizations in Port Orange, Atwood was honored as the Citizen of the Year by the Volusia League of Cities. He was also on the board of the Friends of the Bandshell, and was a planning commissioner for Port Orange in the mid-2000s.
Atwood and Bell were investigated by Port Orange police in 2008, though, when both were accused of stealing money from Family Days. Bell was never charged, but at the time Port Orange police said Atwood stole $21,395 from Family Days between October 2005 and October 2007. Atwood pleaded no contest to a charge of grand theft in 2009 and he was sentenced to two years probation with adjudication withheld, court records show. Atwood repaid more than $8,000 to Family Days, court records show.
No one knows when Atwood began his dalliance with meth, but when he was arrested by Daytona Beach Shores detectives in 2012, he told one of the law enforcement officers that he had “manufactured methamphetamine in the past,” the arrest report shows.
Evans, who was president of Family Days until early last year, said he believes “temptation got in the way” of Atwood.
“He got involved with someone who used recreational drugs,” Evans said of Atwood. “Apparently he developed some skills for making meth. You ask yourself, is there anything we could do to help?”

A 2.1-metre tall Kiwi is being deported from Australia because his size makes him an "unacceptable threat to the national interest".
Hayden Harlem Tewao, 26, who weighs 200kg, had his Australian visa cancelled after he committed an armed robbery in 2010.
Immigration minister Chris Bowen ... said the brutality of the crime and Tewao’s role as an enforcer made any future offending "potentially very serious".
Tewao, who is known as "Tiny", appealed to the Australian Administrative Appeals Board which overturned the decision to deport him to New Zealand, saying he had a low risk of reoffending and had shown remorse for his crime.
However, Immigration Minister Chris Bowen used his ministerial powers to override the decision, citing Tewao's "exceptionally large" stature as being a risk factor that made it not in the national interest for him to remain. | positive |
The Pro-Assad regime, Syrian hackers Syrian Electronic Army today hacked the official website of Reuters. Reuters is a international news agency which is headquartered in Canary Wharf, London, United Kingdom and it transmits news in English, French, Arabic, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese and Chinese to almost all parts of the world. The hack came into public notice after several of the visitors who tried to access the articles on the Reuters website were redirected to a deface page saying,
Hacked by Syrian Electronic Army Stop publishing fake reports and false articles about Syria! UK government is supporting the terrorists in Syria to destroy it, Stop spreading its propaganda.
The Syrian Electronic Army later confirmed the attack from their official Twitter account.
All @Reuters articles links were redirected to a message from the Syrian Electronic Army #SEA #Syria pic.twitter.com/QBHwHZE4UD
— SyrianElectronicArmy (@Official_SEA16) June 22, 2014
Earlier this week Syrian Electronic Army hacked Two other U.K’s prominent news agencies website, “The Sunday Times and The Sun”.
However experts says that it was not that the Reuters web servers which were breached in this hack. According to the sources, the Reuters website is managed by a third party ad provider Taboola and it is Taboola who is to be blamed.
Many visitors who used adblockers on their browsers were not redirected, which meant that one of the code inserted from Taboola was poisoned by the Syrian Electronic Army. This makes it difficult to pin the blame on Taboola, because one of the admin’s account who managed the ads code on the website may also be responsible. Neither Taboola, nor Reuters have commented over the matter yet but a press release is soon expected.
It is not the first time when Syrian Electronic Army has targeted a western media group, they keep doing it all the time as they believe that the Western world and media are pro rebels and against the Assad regime in Syria. Their official statement however always states that they do it when any media group makes any fake news about Syria or poke them about their ways.
We have already contacted the Syrian Electronic Army for more information on the hack and will update you with one.
UPDATE: Adam Singolda Founder & CEO of Taboola confirmed the breach in a blog post and said the attack was carried out using Phishing attack.
The Company has changed all its access passwords and will continue to investigate the attack for next 24 hours, he said.
Syrian Electronic Army too confirmed that the attack was carried out using Taboola.
A tweet tweeted earlier today shows the screenshot taken by the SEA from Taboola’s Paypal account. | positive |

Silent, tree-shaped wind turbines to debut in Paris
Wind-generated power has the potential to make a huge contribution to varying renewable energies around the globe, but the issue of where turbines are built can be a big issue for some communities, or even countries. When wind turbines can’t be built off-shore, some places feel constructing them on land ruins the scenery of the landscape, takes up too much space, or generates too much noise. Enter France’s NewWind, which has been developing aesthetically pleasing, tree-shaped turbines meant to run silently within cities, at ground level.
Dubbed the Wind Tree, NewWind’s turbines measure 36 feet (11 meters) tall and around 26 feet (8 meters) in diameter, and feature 72 artificial leaves. Each leaf is actually a small turbine that rotates while in a vertical position. Due to their light weight material, they can spin enough to generate power with as little as 4.4 mph (2 meters/second) of wind; nothing more than a gentle breeze.
NewWind says the 72 turbines on a single tree can generate 3.1kW of power, which may not seem like much in comparison to the huge turbines most often seen, but again because of their low mass, the leaves are expected to spin on roughly 280 days out of the year. Large turbines spin less frequently because of how much wind is needed.
Several Wind Trees are scheduled to be installed in Paris this March as part of a test. One hurdle to future wide-spread adoption is that each tree costs around $36,500, but it’s argued that they can pay for themselves within just a few years.
Each unit has its cables and generators sealed within its steel housing, and they can be either connected to public power grids or generate electricity for specific buildings or complexes. The ideal goal for these turbines is that they be installed in somewhat large numbers throughout a city, possibly in clusters, and since they operate completely silent, they could act as urban sculptures or maybe even be scattered among real trees within public parks.

Even though the money isn’t yet in place, the town of Canton is considering several options for economic development incentives for businesses willing to invest in the downtown corridor.
Town leaders have been working steadily over the last couple of years to revive Canton’s dilapidated downtown by creating an economic development initiative, adopting downtown commercial maintenance standards, completing beautification projects and trying to host more events downtown.
It’s been a slow and steady process, but Town Manager Seth Hendler-Voss said the board of aldermen is beginning to see some good indicators of success — Kobe Express opened another location on the corner of Park Street and Main Street, Smoky Mountain Sub Shop is getting ready to open a location in downtown, more people are getting their vacant buildings ready to sell and more people are interested in buying downtown real estate.
While the board has met many of its economic development goals, Assistant Town Manager Jason Burrell said the next step is to approve a policy for offering economic development incentive options for building and business owners downtown.
“We’re basically throwing everything plus the kitchen sink at folks to help them help us,” Burrell said. “This is everything we can do under the law to help people.”
The proposed policy offers seven different grant options for industries, developers and entrepreneurs wanting to start a business in Canton and also grants for existing commercial real estate owners wanting to make improvements to their buildings.
“The size and scope of the potential incentives will be based on a number of factors, including the category of incentive requested; the location of the site; the amount of capital investment in the project; the number of employees and the equity and quality of jobs created,” the policy states. “A major component of the incentive policy is to foster sustainable business and create quality jobs that will in turn stimulate the economy and further economic development potential.”
The incentive plan was put before the board of aldermen and approved during a March 10 meeting.
If the town moves forward with implementing these programs, Burrell said, state law requires that the town designate a Business Improvement District area in order to offer some of the incentives. A public hearing would have to be held before that district is finalized. As the town begins to hold budget workshops in the coming months, the board will discuss possible funding allocations for these programs.
Here are the options laid out in the incentives policy:
Economic Development Assistance Program — A financial incentive between the town and a new or existing commercial entity where the town can issue a grant for up to five years in exchange for a new capital investment and a certain number of full-time jobs. The grant will be calculated and based on the actual value, schedule and payment of property taxes. Under this option, a qualified business would pay its property taxes but would then be reimbursed a portion of the taxes based on the grant agreement with the town. The grant applicant must renovate an existing building or construct a new building for a minimum investment of $1.5 million. An existing business looking to relocate must have a minimum of 10 full-time jobs with a promise to expand its labor force in whatever way is agreed upon in the grant. Eligible industries include manufacturing, service industry, distribution, administrative management, transportation, brewing and other tourism-related businesses.
Small Business Development Incentive — This incentive is designed to provide the same kind of assistance as the first program but specifically for building or business owners wanting to invest in redevelopment projects between $200,000 and $1.49 million. This program grant can be awarded for a maximum of three years.
Infrastructure Development Program — While this program is not a grant initiative, it will assist new commercial industries with needed infrastructure like road access, sidewalks, waterlines and sewer lines. The town is willing to make site-specific infrastructure improvements up to the point where public property meets the private property when it’s in the best interest of the town. The amount of funding will depend on the amount of increased town property tax revenue generated from the business locating to Canton.
Interior Building Improvement Grant Program — This grant is to offer an incentive program to locate, upgrade or expand the interior of a building otherwise in a state of dilapidation or in danger of becoming a blight. Priority will be given to projects that address safety and health concerns and those that have a clear economic impact in the district. Grant reimbursement would be available for up to $10,000 or 50 percent of the rehabilitation costs depending on which one is less.
Façade Improvement Grant Program — Since the architectural quality and aesthetic appeal in downtown Canton is especially important to the board, this program would assist business and building owners in making improvements to the exterior face of a building in downtown. The town would work with the owner to ensure any façade upgrades are consistent with the historic feel of downtown Canton.
Architectural and/or Design Services Grant Program — This incentive is to encourage professional design projects that will capitalize on the rehabilitation of existing properties or the introduction of new buildings downtown. To be eligible, a building must be listed on the National Register of Historic Places, located in the historic district or within the town’s Business Improvement District. The grant would provide 50 percent of the design cost or up to $1,500 per project, depending on which is cheaper.
Delayed annexation — Town policy states that any commercial customer outside of the town limits wanting a new connection to the town’s water and sewer system must petition for voluntary annexation and the annexation must be final before the business can hook onto the system. However, this incentive would allow commercial businesses to delay annexation for up to five years while the industry is under construction and getting on its feet. As with the other incentives, businesses must be making a substantial capital investment and show proof of project financing. | positive |

They Said Nobody in Jordan Knew About Linux but They Were Wrong
In this story, “Roblimo” takes us back to 2002, to an open source conference in a country where the common belief was that “nobody knew anything about Linux.” Boy, were they in for a surprise.
In December, 2002, I gave the keynote speech at an open source conference in Amman, Jordan. It was a tense time in that part of the world. Not long before I was there, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAISD) chief in Amman was assassinated. Anti-U.S. demonstrations had been shut down by Jordan’s armed forces earlier in the year. King Abdullah II was still new in the job and did not yet have as certain a hand on the helm as his father, Hussein (amateur radio call JY1) did during previous decades. To make things even more fun, the country was flooded with refugees from Iraq, and rumors were rife that the U.S. would soon go to war with Saddam Hussein over 9/11. Or something. Of course, the war rumors turned out to be true.
But the Linux show must go on! Several American speakers dropped out, and one nearly did, but I was determined to go, and so I did — even though people from USAID (which sponsored the conference and paid my expenses) warned me that nobody in Jordan knew anything about Linux.
Fine. Then I’d teach them! And to get a better handle on the Linux situation in Jordan, I checked the country on the Linux Counter as part of my trip preparation.
Through the Linux Counter I learned that not only were there Linux users in Jordan, but that some of them were even starting to organize a LUG. I sent word of the conference and invited them all. Hey! Free admission! Free food, too! I knew that would draw an American Linux crowd in a heartbeat, and I didn’t think it would be much different in Jordan.
So I’d done my part to draw a crowd. I packed up my laptop and drove to Dulles to catch the plane.
When we got to Amman we went to a hotel ringed with sandbags, machine gun emplacements, and soldiers carrying M-16s. We ate, we showered, we rested, then we went to visit the Education Minister, who had gotten his job the traditional way: by being part of the Hashemite royal family. Except Mohammad (not an uncommon name there) was also an MIT grad. We gave him one of the hundreds of Knoppix CDs we’d brought. He eagerly grabbed it and shoved it into the CD drive on the nearest computer in his office. Was he thrilled to try Linux for the first time? No. He was thrilled to try Knoppix, and by extension Debian, because he’d been running Red Hat up until then.
What’s more, Mohammad wanted to tell us all about GNU, which he’d learned about at MIT from a guy named Richard, who worked there and had helped him a lot. This was, of course, Richard M. Stallman. So we were going to tell this guy about Linux? Not exactly. By the time we left his office he’d given orders to a secretary to make copies of Knoppix for every school in the country, and also for the rural computing and Internet centers the old King, Hussein, had put up out in rural areas so even the most backward Bedouin children could get exposed to modern technology.
These computing centers ran Windows because Microsoft had donated not only software but had kicked in heavily for hardware. Jordan had (and still has) no oil or any other natural resources besides sand, people, and a ruined city that served as a set for an Indiana Jones movie. Jordan has had a hand out ever since the Hashemites rebelled against the (much hated) Ottoman Empire with British help. It was a dramatic event. You could probably make an epic movie out of it, with British colonel T.E. Lawrence as the main character.
Back then, most Arabs were poor and often nomadic. Outside of the few cities, the same holds true of most Arabs in Jordan in the 21st century, whether they are Bedouins or Palestinians. And being an American egalitarian, it never crossed my mind that these “country Arabs” might not be welcome at a Royal-led conference held in an expensive international hotel. And guess what? My “Y’all come!” invite drew over 100 dirt-poor Linux users from the countryside who were teaching themselves system administration and software development at the government computer centers, where they’d installed Linux all over the place.
Hah! Lots of Linux in Jordan, from royal ministers to guys so poor they used rope instead of belts to hold their pants up.
The funny thing was, while the government bureaucrats looked totally down their noses at the sandal-wearers, Mohammad the Education Minister loved finding people he could hire to teach computers to kids out in the boonies. Royal or not, by the end of the first day he was chattering with a whole crowd of his countrymen, making plans to visit this town or that one, taking notes on what supplies their computer centers and school computer labs needed. And the country boys were ecstatic to have a friend in the royal family. Jordan is, like it or not, a country where the King can still say, “Off with their heads!” and have someone say, “Yes, Your Highness,” and get to chopping.
IBM used this conference to announce the opening of a brand-new Linux lab at the University of Jordan. The IBM people running that effort were downright ecstatic to find an entire horde of Linux users (or at least self-taught trainees) they could hire. They had been worried about recruiting. Problem solved. Ragged clothes? No problem. A month or so on the payroll and they’d be able to outfit themselves appropriately for business meetings in the capital city.
One thing to note is that the dirt-poor party crashers (who weren’t really crashers since I’d invited them, and it was supposed to be a free conference, “open to all”) were not ignorant. Jordan has had a decent public school system and a literate population for many decades.
Considering the country’s high level of education, at least in the Middle East context, why should anyone have been surprised to find many computer-literate, Linux-aware people in Jordan? I certainly wasn’t.
Here is a reprint of the NewsForge story I wrote immediately after my return to the U.S., titled Advocating Linux and Open Source in Amman, Jordan. Reading it really takes me back. And yes, I truly enjoyed writing that piece. I hope you enjoy reading it, too, these many years later.

If you ask Marleine Bastien, a chill wind from the White House is fast cooling the warmth of the Haitian Heritage Month celebrations in Miami’s Little Haiti neighbourhood.
Undocumented immigrants avoid vital nutrition services for fear of deportation Read more
The party pooper, according to the executive director of the advocacy group Fanm Ayisyen Nan Miyami (Haitian Women of Miami), is Donald Trump, the man who barely eight months ago on a campaign visit here told the city’s sizeable Haitian community that he wanted to be “your greatest champion”.
Now there are signs that the US president is poised to pull the plug on a longstanding humanitarian program and expose up to 58,000 Haitians to immediate deportation. Until now they have been allowed to remain under a special immigration status while their homeland recovers from disasters including a 2010 earthquake, a cholera epidemic and Hurricane Matthew last year that left multitudes homeless.
Just this week the Associated Press reported that immigration officials were urgently seeking data on crimes committed by Haitian immigrants, or claims for welfare benefits to which they were not entitled.
“There’s a lot of fear and anxiety,” Bastien said of thousands of families in Little Haiti who, instead of celebrating the festival of music, culture and traditions of the impoverished Caribbean nation, are focused on whether Trump will renew or abolish the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) introduced in 2010 for Haitian visitors when the program expires in July.
“They came to here to try to build a life and keep their families safe and now, after so many years, they have to contemplate being separated from their family members and going back to a nation in turmoil,” she said. “They have children in school, students in college, they have businesses and have bought homes. They pay tax and contribute to the economy, here and in Haiti by sending money home. Now they are worrying about the choices they will have to make.
“A man walked into my office the other day, he became a nurse after the earthquake, he works at one of the major hospitals in town and has two little girls flourishing in our public schools. He was in tears as he told me he may have to pull them out from everything they know to take them to Haiti.
“You’re talking about thousands and thousands of US-born children with parents facing the heart-wrenching decision of being separated from their loved ones or leaving their children behind to give them a better life.”
Anybody reading the tealeaves would likely concur that the portents are not favorable for Haitians in the United States under the TPS program, the majority of whom are in Florida, mostly in Miami, Tampa and Orlando, with other significant communities in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
In December, while Barack Obama was still in office, secretary of state John Kerry recommended renewal of TPS based on a comprehensive eight-page report from James McCament, acting director of US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). McCament’s report concluded that Haiti remained “fragile and vulnerable” and faced serious challenges including “a housing shortage, a cholera epidemic and limited access to healthcare, political instability, security risks, food insecurity and considerable environmental risk.”
By April, three months into the Trump administration, McCament had changed his tune. A memo obtained by USA Today revealed that he now believed conditions had improved enough for him to recommend to the new secretary of homeland security John Kelly the ending of the TPS programme for Haitians by next January.
For Bastien, it is an unlikely U-turn. “Are you telling me that from December to April, Haiti has recovered to a point where it can absorb 58,000 deportees and their families?” she said. “Haiti is still reeling. Most of the infrastructure has not been rebuilt. There are thousands of people homeless and the cholera epidemic continues to create hardships for 1.2 million people.”
Kelly must make his own recommendation by May 23 to meet a 60-day notice period before the current TPS program, which has been renewed every 18 months since 2010, reaches its scheduled end date for Haitians on 22 July.
On Friday at the Hard Rock Stadium, the home of the Miami Dolphins, prominent members of the Haitian American community were due to dress up for a lavish heritage month gala to raise funds for the Sant La Haitian neighborhood centre.
Gepsie Morriset-Metellus, co-founder and executive director of the centre that has helped thousands of displaced Haitians settle in south Florida, said the event was a welcome opportunity to temporarily forget the swirling uncertainty over TPS before a protest rally outside the USCIS office in Miami on Saturday morning.
Many of Florida’s senior politicians from both political parties, including the Democratic senator Bill Nelson, have already written to the administration urging the renewal of TPS, and local lawmakers are expected to attend the march to lend their support.
“There’s a saying that if you’re not at the table you’re on the menu, so it’s important for us to be at the table,” Metellus said.
“There are lots of Haitians, allies and supporters, people who understand this threat is targeting Haitians today but it may target Haitian Americans tomorrow, other immigrant groups tomorrow.”
Santcha Etienne, from the coastal town of Petit-Goave that was the epicenter of the January 2010 earthquake estimated to have killed up to 160,000, said there would be no jobs in Haiti for anybody forcibly deported.
“I stand up, I want to march, I want to scream, I want to yell for TPS to be extended,” she said. “Many people lost their homes and family members in the earthquake. Here they are homeowners, business owners and parents. There is no hope for them if they are made to go back.” | positive |
As announced earlier, the United States Commodities and Futures Trading Commission dedicated a portion of their meeting today to the subject of Bitcoin derivatives. The full video won't be released for a few days, but the full transcript of the session on Bitcoin derivatives is below.
>>: Thank you Mr. Chairman. We have our next panel here to discuss the next topic of cryptocurrency derivatives and here to help us with that we have Jerry Brito from the Coin Center, newly created Coin Center, I believe.
Professor Houman Shadab, I hope I am saying that right, from New York Law School.
Tim by an from BitPay and Leonard Naura from TeraExchange and Tom Leahy from the staff here at CFCT. Thank you for coming to and I think we will start with Tom who can go through some of the new and novel issues that and challenges have been raised by the filing exchange as as well as the discussions with other platforms who appear to be poised also to try to submit a contract for listing.
Tom?
>> THOMAS LEAHY: Thank you, Commissioner Wetjen.
The agenda says I will discuss the process for self certifying.
>>: Can you speak up? It may just be me that is hard of hearing, but I would appreciate it if everyone could speak up.
>>: It is not.
>> THOMAS LEAHY: Okay. The agenda says I am going to speak about the process for self certifying Bitcoin derivatives and I am going to use our experience with TeraExchange as a case study if you wish.
So TeraExchange is a self certifying Bitcoin Non-Deliverable Forwards contract subsequently listed that contract for trading on the following business day and according to the salsa vacation precursors of commission 40 .2.
Any contract that is listed that itself certified and listed for trading pursuant to 40 .2 has not been approved by the commission.
The staff conducts and in — the staff conducts a review of the salsa location filing to verify compliance with the commodity exchange act.
However, given the limited review time for a or vacation provided by the commodity exchange act, commission staff generally encourages them to send draft file for innovative contracts prior to self certification this allows staff to raise issues or express concerns, asked questions before the contract is listed for trading.
TeraExchange provided draft filings to commission s taff.
With a new contract, the staff a test is the terms and contract to see the conditions and appliance — compliance with the core principles.
Pending C 2 part 30 A is referenced as a acceptable practice for trade.
For these contracts such as the Bitcoins swap, self certified and listed by TeraExchange, the cash, so let price should not be readily susceptible to many relation. It should be reflected of the underlying market for that commodity.
In addition to this, should be a reliable indicator to the cash market price and acceptable for hedging.
The staff raised questions about the Bitcoin index that TeraExchange initially used two cash and settle its contract.
In this respect, there are very few prices used to calculate that index and the calculation methodology might result in an index that is not robust.
So TeraExchange responded to staff questions by developing a proprietary index that addressed those questions.
TeraExchange, the terror index uses several inputs from Bitcoin exchanges and is captivated using a volume weighted methodology that trims out.
Back testing of the index shows that the index consistently shows prevailing it coin prices and was not affected by outlier prices.
The staff also raise questions with respect to court principles four and five which are monitoring of trading and the ability to obtain information respectively.
Court principle for requires staff to monitor for price after malice in the index and requires es methodologies to resolve the threat of many relation or distortion.
Core principle five requires the staff to have the principal to carry out international information sharing agreements that the commission may require.
So TeraExchange provided a demonstration to the commission staff concerning how they would monitor training activity in the Bitcoin market and then a contracted with a third party for regulatory services including market surveillance.
In addition, TeraExchange entered into an information sharing agreement with each Bitcoin exchange that provides prices for the calculation of the Tara Bitcoin index and Tera made signing an information agreement a preclusion for (Indiscernible) in the index.
Having largely addressed that questions during the draft review process, TeraExchange self certified their Bitcoin Non-Deliverable Forwards swaps contract and it is currently listed for trading.
Thank you.
>>: Thank you, Tom.
We will go outside of the order of the agenda. I think it might be more natural to have Leonard speak next because he represents TeraExchange who honestly has listed and designed the contract.
Leonard, you want to go with your presentation?
>> LEONARD NAURA: Sure. They you Commissioner.
I am Leonard Nuara from TeraExchange. I want to thank you for the opportunity to speak. It has been a number of months that we have been working with the staff here. And Tom just spoke about, we originally started this back in March, and it has been a great process that involves a lot of people and we would like to recognize the staff for the amount of time they gave us in working through this.
>>: A little closer to the mike's before. We were going to speak about the demand for the estimate, why we created it, the process to self certify. I will touch on this briefly because Tom Leahy did a great j ob. I will talk about how it operates and how it is traded on TeraExchange. We will go through this and then we will go to the other speakers.
So we have some slides that they might want to turn on.
Look at that.
Thank you, in the back room.
So first of all,, the demand for the US dollar, B itcoin, Non-Deliverable Forwards.
You will here little bit about this from my fellow speakers here is much larger and much brighter than most people realize.
There are merchants accepting Bitcoin as a method of payment. There are payment processors, one of which is here today that has 40,000 merchants worldwide accepting payments in Bitcoin.
There are minors. These are minors, not with hats and pics, but it is a phrase in the marketplace for those that are generating Bitcoin and there will be a technical conversation about how that happens.
There are wallets, places to store your digital commodity. You will hear that phrase in a little while as well from some of my colleagues.
And there are investors in the Bitcoin industry itself that are investing (indicating) structure, Bitcoin technology as well as those that are investing in the Bitcoin themselves, similar to investing in gold or silver.
The point to be made here is that the trading of Bitcoin, various exchanges that this exchange connects to his rather volatile.
There is a calculation of 3 .57, if you fancy that, or you can say that a Bitcoin on average trading can be 3% difference every day, 3% market change on a daily b asis, sometimes more and less.
It is being accepted wildly, because it is being used by a diversity of players that I just spoke about because it is a payment mechanism, again, that Jerry and whom I will speak to.
A mechanism that doesn't have the same friction that lets a using regular banking channels or otherwise, there is a greater acceptance for electronic, e-commerce platforms.
There's a great demand for some regulated type of risk transfer solution, namely, swaps or other future products and regulated because is it too since products.
It is not a platform or a product for the trading by retail customers. It is an institutional level swap, execution platform, institutions of the user of the product, and his additions are looking for a way to hedge the volatility that currently exists or take a view with regard to the direction of where Bitcoin price is going.
So the process that Tom so neatly just described for us started back in March.
We did provide drafts, it is a phrase that Tom mentioned and we have had numerous discussions with the staff over the ensuing months from March until this September 11.
The key features of those conversations were to make sure that TeraExchange, the product, underline or otherwise, met all the core principles that a swap execution facility must satisfy, in particular the reference rate, which is the rate that Tera Bitcoin index is not necessarily (Indiscernible) to our swap market.
Both meet ongoing oversight and surveillance.
Will utilize the NFA for some of the services, we utilize the sharing agreement like Tom mentioned, excuse me, Bitcoin execution venues to provide affirmation.
We self certified on September 11, not too long ago and our first trade was yesterday.
The market is going to lift off slowly as most new markets to.
We are on board a and clients daily as we speak that want to start to trade in the space.
The contract itself is a bilateral, non-cleared, different from this morning. It is not an issue with clearing.
It is a bilateral, non-cleared trade that has credit support Annex, collateral delivery by either side to support the trade.
It is nondeliverable. No Bitcoins exchange. This is a US cash settled forward.
It is settled the similar as to what was described this morning. It will follow the track as a type of forward contract.
Dollars are exchanged with contrite maturity. Ultimately the settlement rate, which is determined by the Tera Bitcoin index. And we will provide a little bit more detail in a minute.
It follows or tracks traditional Non-Deliverable Forwards. Again, this one is a non-cleared instrument.
The Bitcoin price index, the Tera Bitcoin price index is one we spent a lot of time working with the staff here to firm up. We originally had some ideas back in March, and they were not as firm and as robust as they could have been.
So we proceeded to build our own and we proceeded to connect to the variety of venues worldwide that are trading Bitcoin online and we started to build a tool that would pull that data in an normalize that data, essentially neutralized outliers and also to limit the influence of the numbers, diversion prices coming through from other Bitcoin exchanges.
, namely, to mute the possibility that there could be many relation in other exchanges and that many relation essentially affecting the index, which would in turn affect the contracts on our marketplace.
That took quite some time including accessing numerous times, both internally and also accessing the data to the CFCT.
And the staff has the full data to analyze that.
The index ultimately becomes what is the fair value of Bitcoin spot price without having specific reliance on one exchange or another.
It is essentially a composite that leads to the market price and at least to the ability of the escrow agents and the custodians as well as others to have that number for margining and collateral purposes on the traits.
Finally how is it traded?
Because this is a bilateral contract, it is traded as a request for quote with the option for liquidity providers to provide indications of interest.
That would light up the screen.
Obviously none of you can read this from the distance it currently is.
But on the screen there is prices posted by the liquidity providers and when someone hits one of those prices, it essentially turns up a request for coat — for quote to the counterparty. There is a risk transfer insurance there.
That is where collateral comes into praise.
There are pre-trade checks. We adopted that concept and there are credit checks based upon the amount of deposit that the participant has for their market account.
Tenors range from one day all the way up to two skiers, no different than normal NDF.
And then the CME is actually the SDR for the SDR reporting.
The trades were reported yesterday after they were completed and the files were dumped over to the NFA for their constant surveillance.
Here's a quick summary. There is more slides for the other presenters, but I do not know who was next.
Thank you very much for the time.
>>: Thank you. Jerry?
>> JERRY BRITO: Thank you, Commissioner we for having me here today. My name is Jerry Brito and I am the executive director of Coin Center, a recently launched nonprofit advocacy center that is focused on the public policy issues facing digital currency.
I would like to provide some background on the technology that we are discussing, explain some of the demand for the derivative products and answering the questions that you might have.
So Bitcoin is regally described as a digital currency and a lot of the descriptions are accurate, but can be misleading because it is at once to broad and too narrow. It is too broad because 21 — Bitcoin is a particular kind of currency. Is a cryptography base currency, indeed the first-of-its-kind.
The description is also too narrow because although currency is one aspect of the Bitcoin system, Bitcoin is more broadly and Internet protocol with many applications beyond payment or money transfer.
You can think of it like email or the World Wide Web. It is an open network to which anyone can connect without permission from a central authority.
Anyone can send a message to anyone else and on top of that, you can really build any number of different kinds of applications. In that way it is like the web or email.
Online virtual currencies are nothing new. They have existed for decades from World of Warcraft gold to basement credits.
They have been around for a long time and online payment system is — payment systems are not new.
We have had PayPal, visa, Western Union.
What is it about Bitcoin and similar cryptography based currencies that make them unique? Bitcoin is a world first completely decentralized digital currency.
And it is the decentralized part that makes it unique.
Prior to Bitcoin's invention in 2009, online currency or payment systems had to be managed by a central authority.
For example, you could have had Facebook issuing Facebook coins or PayPal insuring a transaction between customers in are reconciled. They provide the central authority.
However, by solving a long-standing conundrum in computer science known as double spending, Bitcoin for the first time makes possible transactions online that a person-to-person without the need for an intermediary between them, just like cash.
Comparing Bitcoin traditional payments of money transfer systems, this helps explain the distinction.
So before Bitcoin, all the transactions were required with third-party intermediaries.
For example, if Alice wanted to send $100 to Bob over the Internet, she would have to rely on a third surface like PayPal or Bank of America.
Intermediaries like PayPal keeping ledger of account holders balances.
When Alice sends Bob $100, PayPal deducts the amount from her account and as it to Bob's account.
Without such intermediaries, digital money could be spit twice.
Out is and $100 to Bob by attaching a money file to a message, but just like with email, sending an attachment does not remove it from one's computer.
Alice would retain a perfect copy of the money file after she had sent it.
She could easily spend it a second time, sending the same $100 to Charlie.
Tran ones invention is revolutionary because of the first time, the double spending problem is solved without the need for third-party.
Bitcoin does this by distributor necessary ledgers among all the users of the system via a peer to peer every transaction on the network is registered in the distributed public ledger, which is called the block chain.
Transactions are ledger to get the block chain thus eliminating the global spending problem.
The global peer-to-peer network composed of thousands of users takes place at the intermediary.
Allison and Bob can interact online with added third-party intermediary.
How is this possible? With bitcoin, transactions are verified and double spending is prevented by public key cryptography.
That requires each user to be assigned one private key like a password and one public key that can be shared with the world.
When Alice decides to transfer Bitcoins to Bob, she creates a message called a transaction, which creates and contains Bob's public key and how many coins as she ascended.
She signs it with her private key and broadcast this message over the entire network.
By looking at Alice's public key anyone can verify that the transaction was sign with her private key.
It is an authentic exchange and then Bob is the owner of the funds.
The transaction, and thus the transfer of ownership of the Bitcoin is recorded, time stamped, and displayed in one block of the block chain.
Public cryptography ensures all computers in the network have constantly been updated and verified records of all transactions within the Bitcoin network, which prevents double spending and fraud.
Out of technical necessity, transactions on the Bitcoin network are not denominated in dollars or euros or Yuan like PayPal. This makes Bitcoin a global currency. It is not derived from gold or silver, but from the value people assigned to it.
The dollar value of the Bitcoin is determined on the open market just as the exchange rate between two different world currencies.
The total number of Bitcoin that will ever be issued as well is the rate, which they are algorithmically released into the system is determined, predetermined at the time the protocol is established.
To date, Bitcoin has represented money out of floating exchange rates and the Bitcoin network has employed as a vast expensive meaning of money transfer or payment.
But there is no reason why particular Bitcoins could not represent something besides money.
If we see a Bitcoins as a token, other applications become apparent.
For example, we could agree that a particular Bitcoin or indeed and in potentially a small fraction of a Bitcoin such as eight (Indiscernible) token, we could agree a particular Bitcoin represents a house, car, share of stock, ounce of gold.
Conceived in this way, the Bitcoin block chain becomes more than a payment system. It can be completely decentralized and perfectly reconcile property registry.
Bitcoin is therefore an open platform for innervation, innovation just like the Internet.
In fact, Bitcoin looks very much like the Internet did in 1995.
Some dismissed at the Internet then as a curiosity, but many could see that such an open platform for innovation would allow for world changing applications to be built on top of it.
View in 1995 could foresee Facebook or Skype or N etflix, but they could see that the building blocks were therefore amazing innovation.
Bitcoin is like that today.
We cannot conceive yet what will be the future applications, but it is pretty obvious they will come.
Bitcoin faces some challenges; however, and chief among them is regulatory uncertainty.
If we think back again, to the early Internet, it was not until the government made it clear that it would pursue a light touch regulatory approach that Internet in a patient really took all.
Bitcoin today is in need of similar commitment from the government.
And the case of financial regulation specifically, Bitcoin would benefit from the development of hedging estimates.
As I explain earlier, Bitcoin's value is determined on the open market and that market is still developing and it is not very liquid and as a result it has been historically volatile.
Merchant and merchant processing services and exchanges and many other businesses and institutions who want to build on top of the Bitcoin platform are in search of good hedging estimates.
Additionally, as Bitcoin matures, it is up to about — a public cryptography mechanism could be entered.
While unprecedented, such a use of technology could lead to important efficiencies and interventions.
As regulators begin to consider these developers, they should do so with an open mind and avoid undue restrictions that could have unintended consequences including limiting animation.
So thank you for your time and I look forward to your questions.
>>: Thank you, Jerry,.
>> HOUMAN SHADAB: Thank you so much for having me here Commissioner Wetjen. It is a pleasure to do be here with all the panelists and the guest in this room and thank you to GMAC for organizing this hearing as well.
My name is Houman Shadab, a professor at New York Law School and my focuses primarily on derivatives and primarily cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.
It is serendipitous to be here today.
I was asked to speak about the regulatory challenges from the CFCT perspective facing Bitcoin and I see them as three.
One, what is Bitcoin from the commissioner's perspective.
What is the nature of it?
Second of all how do we apply the traditional estimate between futures and forwards to Bitcoin derivatives in cases where could be ambiguous? And finally how do we regulate, not derivatives that reference Bitcoin, but derivatives that are executed and cleared and traded and settled and so forth through the block chain, through the Bitcoin networker protocol?
So the first one I want to say is that Bitcoin is best understood not actually is a digital currency, but as a digital commodity.
Certainly the primary application or use right now, of Bitcoin, perhaps besides investment or specular purposes of owning itself are for payments and there are a growing number of merchants that accept Bitcoin and that certainly is an important aspect of what it is used for.
But Bitcoin fundamentally, as Jerry Brito just noted, is a method of transmitting messages over a block c hain, what is also called a distributed ledger network.
Because of that, many software developers right now, are currently developing applications that go beyond payments including things like smart contracts, which essentially allow two parties to trade in automated fashion, which is also decentralized, secure a sort of basically publicly verifiable through the block chain.
So because of all that, I think it is best to view it coins as a commodity more like gold and silver and less like excluded commodities under the commodity exchange act such as currency and other financial interest.
Think of Bitcoin as just a currency would be to think of the Internet just like a network for sending an email.
It is true, but it is too narrow.
>> COMMISSIONER WETJEN: I don't me to throw you off, but you made the extension between excluded versus exempt.
Help us understand more what that matters?
>> HOUMAN SHADAB: I think I would not bring into the equation sort of regulars including banking regulators and monetary authorities that might be more concerned about currency type issues.
Second of all for the more nitty-gritty type, details with respect to the commodity exchange act, being an exempt commodity pretty much means that Bitcoin would fall and look more like an intangible commodity that can be physically delivered as as opposed to, let's say, a currency.
When we think about regulating many Bitcoin swaps or Bitcoin future forwards, we may think about the deliverability aspects of it and not so much whether, for example, a Bitcoin swap falls under something that looks like the in VF classification or something that looks like a treasury exemptions for physically delivered FX, certain FX futures and forwards.
It is subtle. At the end of the day, it might not matter too much for how the regulatory structure wraps around Bitcoin, but I think that for a bigger picture idea, it is sort of important to classify and get the conception right about what exactly Bitcoin it looks like from your commission's perspective.
Given that is the case, the second challenge is how do we apply that traditional distinction between futures and forwards that is huge with digital commodity Bitcoin and often we look at the commission and how it distinguishes between futures and forwards between whether or not they are deliverable, physically deliverable or cash settled.
Whether or not the contracts are standardized, whether or not the platform serves as a central counterparty and whether or not the contracts are findable as well.
That is important, of course, with respect to futures and forwards because forwards basically do not fall within the same jurisdiction, starting not like the futures contract.
If you look at some of the platforms that are currently being developed with respect to trading Bitcoin derivatives, some of them fall in between and it is hard to determine whether or not certain contracts are futures for Bitcoin or maybe forwards.
For example, maybe they are studying jurisdictional questions aside, the ICBT, which calls itself a futures exchange, cells Bitcoin futures and the contracts are relatively fundable, one, two, three month standardized future contracts.
But on the other hand, the platform doesn't serve as a central counterparty and does not have physical delivery.
So maybe that kind of contract, that kind of platform, again, setting aside jurisdictional issues, Mayer and a not fall under the scope of the jurisdiction of the commission and something to think more deeply about, recognizing that even though Bitcoin's digital, and to that extent may be intangible, it can be physically delivered just for the same reason the commission recognizes physical delivery in a sense of other intangible commodities such as pollution rights for example.
So that is my second General regulatory challenge.
And finally, all the foregoing I talked I talked about really applies to derivatives written on Bitcoin whether it is Bitcoin futures or swaps or forwards or options.
But there is another sort of Bitcoin derivative and that is really, it is a smart contract. Age riveted and that enables basically that goes through the Bitcoin lock chain system.
And what is interesting about these contracts is that like many other aspects of the financial market, they are programmable ahead of time.
So maybe if you had a Bitcoin, excludes me a block chain future or a smart features Contra Costa you could program because the futures are already sort of by definition standardized, all of the terms of the agreement except for the price, the quantity, the maturity, and so forth.
And then maybe the internal processes of the software application that applies to the block chain could help determine the price.
And although many of these smart contracts, platforms and applications are currently works in progress, many companies, organizations are developing underlying codes, and plummeting these agreements.
Two or three aspects of this is that programmers or developers are starting to identify what is important, multi- signature authentication to sort of verify and authenticate different aspects of the agreement or different types of the performance as the contract proceeds.
Escrow services as well to sort of safeguard parties, capital, or other assets.
Is sort of an Oracle, what is basically a part of the application or a separate one the sort of interacts with the outside world to essentially incorporate or provide a data feed to the agreement.
So that is sort of operating properly and sort of in the financial estimates based, we can see how interact with the outside world including prices and so forth would be important to execute that.
Certainly the derivatives markets are very are ready using a lot of software and very tech and able to with, but nonetheless I do think that the Bitcoins block chain could provide a sort of unique functionality, unique advantages that currently are not being fully utilized or even available. Traditional or 10 logical means if that is not a bit of an oxymoron.
One is maybe the block chain doesn't use fewer intermediaries.
The transactions could be traded, cleared, and settled much quicker and may be at a cheaper cost as well.
Furthermore, you can probably build in, let's say, the 23 core principles at the futures exchanges are required to abide bye into the very code itself.
If you embed those types of rules into the agreement ahead of time, one question is Wellco maybe these types of transactions — transactions to qualify for an exemption under a traditional rule that would otherwise be applicable to a contract that essentially is provided for, say, a future delivery of a commodity, whether it is physically delivered or cash settled.
Finally another potential damage of a Bitcoin futures, block chain futures is that it could actually allow for integration with other markets better than current future market do in the sense that if there is sort of one universal block chain or block chains that interact with each other on a global basis, it can allow for future markets to be integrated with more like a securities market or even for futures markets being more integrated with commercial markets and at some point, a physical producer of agriculture would automatically purchase in the sense or be entered into in order for futures agreement if the projected price of a commodity goes below a certain point in the future.
So I last sort of conclusion here is that given that it may be possible and certainly many of these concepts or sort of potentials are about what technology may look like in the future, which is always sort of inherently difficult to do.
But given that it may be regulatory for the policy objectives to be achieved through the block chain, to be achieved through software, code, and into the contract rules themselves, the commission may want to think about or consider exempting these types of agreements from the full scope of the regulations to sort of balance consumer protection, market stability, and the systemic risk with animation and progress.
So thank you, so much for hearing my remarks.
I really look forward to the discussion.
>>: Thank you, Professor. Tim?
>> TIM BYUN: Good afternoon. I am the Chief Compliance Officer for Bitpay. Thank you, GMAC members for this opportunity. I have maybe five minutes of prepared comments and also to address your two initial questions, but I would love to address any further questions that you may have and I think based on your look with the distinguished panel. , there's going to be quite a few questions.
But let me please start off with the next slide please.
I just wanted to give you a short introduction of myself because I think I'm very fortunate to be sharing some remarks to you today.
As I mentioned I serve as the Chief Compliance Officer, but I also spent five years at Visa , Inc. as their anti-money officer and head of credit settlement risk.
Publicly disclosed on their website, visa has about 50 billion dollars worth of credit risk on any given day.
Prior to that I was a regulator for the Federal Reserve Bank and the FDIC. And I also worked for a commercial bank in their credit corporate underwriting department.
So I hope my background can shed a little more light, specifically on the next slide I want to get into your first question of how is the adoption of Bitcoin going in the market place?
And we have some visibility of that because we are a merchant processor out there.
In short as on the next slide, as a merchant processor, I want to let you know that we were founded in M ay 2011.
Bitcoins were the white paper was conceived in 2008.
Bitcoin, the first version or first block of Bitcoins came out in 2009.
So by that standard, we are a veteran out there, but we are a very small startup.
We have a thousand merchants worldwide.
On the next slide, we have about 32 million dollars investment capital from our venture capitalist and we have just a few of those names out there.
You can see Index ventures from the UK, founders fund led by Peter Thiel, horizon ventures supported by Lee Heashing, the prior CEO of American Express and others.
We have about 75 employees worldwide.
Bitpay is headquartered in Atlanta and we have colleagues all over the world as you can see.
On the next slide is the adoption side.
Here is a glimpse of as up-to-date from August 2014, how many transactions we do permanent.
And as you can see, we have been hovering about 40,000. But from a year ago, it has significantly or exponentially increased.
And so we see adoption from our point of view being very robust.
I want to also present you this public chart from block chain where they measure or provide charts on the entire Bitcoin system.
And you can see that the total transactions there are steadily increasing over time.
This is a two-year look back chart.
I think adoption is great.
Is it in the mainstream? No..
Is it in Wall Street? It will get there.
But currently no.
So it is very experimental currently. I think you are seeing significant startup capital being invested in the marketplace. I believe you're today, 2014, there is about 300 million dollars dedicated or invested in Bitcoins ecosystem startups such as ourselves.
And so it is progressing very nicely or very robustly.
Your second question asked to start.
What is the possible use of derivatives or Bitcoin instruments? And IC it as and kind of three categories.
For Wall Street, for your marketmakers, or for even ecosystem exchangers that need to build the infrastructure and idea of how to use Bitcoin.
And I think they will build up the ecosystem.
It could also be used in Wall Street for trading purposes.
As a principal or even an agent.
It could be used as an alternative class for your money managers.
This it would be on the buy side.
Corporations such as Bitpay could use it to hedge our treasury operation as we need to pay on the merchant side or settle they are, which we see every day.
For individual or sophisticated investors, they could diversify their holdings or even speculate on Bitcoin, the price itself.
So I am sure, especially in this conference room, you have a better perspective of what is possible on a derivative scale.
And with that, I will leave it open for Q.
>>: Thank you very much, Tim. We are now joined by the commissioner. Chris, do you want to make a few remarks?
>>: First opening up to the group. I do not know if any members have questions of the panelists. We could start there. I have a couple of my own.
>>: A question as far as you know, ski we had some pre-read that was from George Mason University.
And in the reference, it kept referring to this as a digital currency.
I am trying to get my head, I think is a digital currency, but this is opposed to a swap and changing the nuances around that.
I can see a digital currency and how the valuation and using it to purchase goods, the link there, but could you speak a little bit more? It was not clear to me as far as it being a digital commodity itself.
>> TIM BYUN: Let me answer first. I am not sure — honestly it is a digital currency in the sense that there are things —
>> JERRY BRITO: Things that are denominated in Bitcoins prices or dollars and then have a conversion.
And you can use it to pay.
And the first thing, the most widely application of Bitcoin's payment and it definitely is a digital currency.
I think you cannot stop thinking of it as a digital currency.
At the end of the day, it is a token. You can use the token as currency, but there is no reason why you cannot use that token as something else.
You could use it to represent any number of things.
And I think what Houman Shadab was getting at and you can confer this or not, but because it is digital, these tokens are digital, it is programmable.
So we could have, normally if I give you $100, I take a $100 bill and I give it to you. Now I have it and now you do and I do not.
That now without an intermediary between us, now you have it and I don't.
We could introduce this into the transaction. It is not a simple transfer. We can do something as simple as give this Bitcoin to Mike only if the price of Google is over X tomorrow and only if that happens, doesn't get transferred.
That is a possibility that is available to Bitcoin.
>>: Let me elaborate. It is a digital currency, but it is a lot more. There is no doubt that Bitcoins is unique. It is hard to classify whether under a particular body of regulations or may be conceptually, but certainly in commercial transactions, financial transactions, I think that any sort of software in transaction it can be used to automate a lot of the processes. But the block chain makes the messages themselves sort of be a type of contract performance. Let's say you take a loan through the block chain.
Then the borrowers' funds could sort of be automatically deducted from their account, weathered his monthly or annually or quarterly, whatever it is.
At the same time, if the borrower breaches a financial or loud covenant, the loan could be immediately accelerated which the lenders have the right to do.
In addition the interest rate could change as sort of a performance pricing contract, again, automatically without the parties having to engage in an active monitoring of contracts, legal enforcement, or sort of do any additional conduct such as borrowing people telling the lenders that (Indiscernible) and what are we going to do about it.
Contract automation in every case and all the way through is the best thing for the market. Certainly software providers already scale back and pull back on the automation, which is even further possible because human intervention, manual overrides are sometimes, or often in certain contacts, better than completely automated contracts, which pre-commit to arrange a scenario that they may or may not know about ahead of time.
But just to go back to that question, it seemed like the block chain was much more application or functionality rather than transferring payments.
>>: Thank you. So Mike, on a more basic level, in regards to a swap, the swap can be put to an asset and the asset is Bitcoin. The Bitcoin is we are getting the pricing data from a variety of exchanges worldwide and we are establishing and index value to that. So you can do a forward contract. You are doing the swap, which is the forward, the Non-Deliverable Forwards based off of that index value of the Bitcoin.
So you and I can agree today that Bitcoin is trading today at 375, and you want to lock in at 350. You have a large contract and you need to use a lot of it.
So you and I can lock in at 350 and then in one week, one month, or whatever, we look at the end and the price is at 320.
Well, you get the benefit of that and I will pay the difference. Or it is at 400. You are ahead, and you would just pay me back the difference.
It operates just like regular, but this thing that we call Bitcoin, it is the underlying asset.
And in our application, 40 .2, we labeled it a digital asset, one way to call it, but the point is it is an asset. We use the index to establish what the price is.
And that is will we put the structure around. It is very simple.
>>: One of the issues discussed in the paper, the degree of anonymity available in the Bitcoin exchanges themselves and the corresponding potential for money laundering resulting from that and I was wondering if you could explain further the response in the paper to that concern.
I wasn't sure that it was entirely satisfactory.
I was wondering what your thoughts were on that.
>>: Sure. So on the Bitcoins block chain, payments are neither identified or anonymous.
So if you think about a cash transaction.
A cash transaction is completely anonymous.
So you and I can meet at Union Station and I give you $100. You give me a bicycle. We parked our separate ways.
I do not know your name and you do not know my name and there is no record of that transaction happening, Time, Place, amount.
That is cash and an. Then you have a credit card transaction that is completely identified.
The credit card issuers know your name, my name, and there is a record kept of the amount and the date anytime and sometimes even the purpose of the transaction, perfectly identified.
Bitcoin transactions are in the middle, between the two.
So every Bitcoin transaction is recorded, the time, the amount, and two Bitcoin addresses from which payment went from one addressed to the other.
And that is recorded in the public ledger known as the block chain and it is public.
Anybody at any moment can go online and see all transactions that are happening right now or has ever happened.
There is a record available of all transactions, available to you and me and law enforcement, anybody.
These addresses are simply random, essentially random strings of letters and numbers, basically like an account number.
So it has account number XYZ 123, this amount, this time to this account number.
So you have a perfect record, but it is not tied necessarily to a particular identity.
You have exchanges.
I want to acquire a Bitcoins.
I have dollars and my bank account and I want to acquire this way use one of Bitpay's margins.
I go to an exchange. I happen to you something called coinbase.
A very popular service.
Coinbase works with regulations and so they do the AML and KY see. So they identify me and my identity as tied to an address.ess.
So there are some other folks I could refer you to in computer sciences who are looking at how easy or difficult it is to D anonymize transactions. It is a lot easier than some folks think it is.nk it is.
>>: Could I add a few comments to that? And hopefully, shed some light.
Yes, Bitcoin transactions are synonymous or in your words, anonymous, but it is really what you are seeing is real time, almost like a ticker that goes across the NYSE ticker.
You see IBM getting crossed 100 shares at $104. But you don't see on the ticker who is buying or selling that. When you eventually pull that record and find the broker/dealer, you can see who the broker/dealer was.
When you examine the broker/dealer was, you can find out the ultimate party.
Similarly when Jerry by something at a merchant, Bitpay as the merchant processor conducts the KYC on the merchant, our customer. We want to know what did they sell, who owns the shop, what is their tax ID number.
So we conduct the KYC on that.
Coinbase is a money transmitter determined by virtual currency guidelines that came out in March 2013.
As a money service business, coinbase as well as other money service businesses, the more traditional ones being Western Union and Money Gram must conduct KYC on their customer, which is the consumer or shopper in this case, Jerry.
So I think it is a bit of a misnomer that it is completely anonymous, but I want to make sure that the ticker going across that is on the block chain that is in realtime, you don't know who is on the underlying, who is making that transaction underline.
>>: And one last point on that.
Tom Leahy mentioned earlier that TeraExchange has an information agreement with every exchange to establish index.
Every one of those exchanges in that agreement has agreed to supply as the details and they all do AML, KYC on all of the people trading on each of the exchanges.
The exchanges that do not provide us this cannot be on this. We are not ascribing to anonymous trades that are happening out in the market place.
>>: Yes?
>>: I have a basic question on the mining of the component of Bitcoin. Like if you could just explain a little bit like what happens. Because it seems like from the pre-reading, there is a limited number of Bitcoin there and then on the next lie, 120 odd euros will get unlocked based on the computing power or, you know, for whatever transaction verification.
So I was interested to hear like is there, is that public information? And are you taking on variability of like your Bitcoin currency being devalued or d eluded? What if it was unexpectedly? Somewhat it said in the paper that it is incentive driven. How many people are going to be, you know, trying to unlock these Bitcoins?
>>: That is a great question. There is this idea that the processing power necessary to mine the Bitcoin's ever-increasing.
That is not actually the case. It is varied and I tell you what the variability is.
The Bitcoin network essentially looks to see how many Bitcoin is being issued in a given time period, usually two weeks.
Every two weeks, when I say it, is very difficult because there is no central server. All of the machines are collectively connected following a protocol.
They look to see how many Bitcoins have been issued.
If there is more than should have been issued, the math problem that must be solved becomes harder.
If less Bitcoins have been issued than should, then the math problem gets easier.
But what in up happening is that on average a new block is mind every 10 minutes and every 10 minutes, 25 new Bitcoins are introduced into the money supply and that is predictable.
So it is out rhythmically self-regulating.
If you have many more miners coming into the ecosystem, maybe for a few days you might get a bit more Bitcoins than average, but it would soon revert to 25 Bitcoins every 10 minutes. It is self-regulating in that way and if diners leave the space, the problem would get easier.
And again, it would always revert to that predetermined algorithmic rate.
>>: Who owns that protocol?
>>: It is open source. Nobody owns it. It is an open protocol. Anybody can use it.
I know.
>>: I mean, it just seems, like you mentioned that, you know, there is a dependency of everyone, all of these Bitcoins being connected via this protocol.
So just like I was trying to understand. When somebody joins, how is that regulated if it is open source and nobody owns it.
>>: Great question.
>>: So we kind of need some sort of verification for you can join in.
>>: Very good question. It is consensus-based.
If I try to join the network and I write open source, I can rewrite the code and I would write it to say I'm going to generate one Bitcoins a minute, a lot of Bitcoins and I join the network.
So it is a peer to peer network. You join first one. Next to you, 121 and then you join other peers.
The first. I joined is going to shake my hand, look at me look at the fact I am to do that and will reject it.
It is consensus-based.
If you are not following the rules, what is the first thing that a Bitcoins client does? It is to look at the peer it is connecting to and see are they following the same rules I am? If not, it is rejected. If they are following the same rules, you can join Bitcoin in that fashion.
>>: To questions. The first is how do you know there is no fraud or backdoors built in to the initial code? And then the second is if all the goodie is coming from the block chain, why not just put dollars on the block chain?
>>: Good question.
So how do you know that there isn't some secret back?
You know — so I presume that many of what we are using her today, the TVs and the projector run on open s ource, they run on Linux.
So how do we know there is not a backdoor? The answer is all open source by definition is open and public to scrutiny and review by anybody who wants to look at it.
So there are a couple of ways to do this.
And a trust list manner, you can download the source code yourself self, review it, and verify for yourself that there are no backdoors.
I am not a computer programmer, so I have to trust some of the worlds foremost cryptographers who have looked at it and have given if the thumbs up.
But essentially, it is open and verifiable to anybody.
So that is how — it is actually probably, I trust it more than I would trust a proprietary software system where you have to trust the company.
That is my position. Your second question is why not dollars?
I was sort of turn it around and say how would you do that with dollars? You could imagine — so you have to have a token that can be transferred between two different parties. That token, we call it a Bitcoin.
Because there is a limited amount of them, the value floats.
It is relative to the dollar.
You can imagine the US government tagging the dollar to the Bitcoin.
I doubt that will happen.
That is how you would accomplish it, but there is no technical way really that you could technically put it to the dollar without a third-party guaranteeing that.
>>: I think it is an excellent question and I think it is possible and we have a live example of Ecuador starting to do that now.
So they actually want to tie their national currency using the Bitcoin protocol and the validation system and as you may know, the Federal Reserve is looking to modernize their financial system, ACH, fed wire and I think it could be very feasible.
I see it as, just like Bitcoin itself, we are in the experiment of.
The Fed is due a small experience, tie a few US treasuries to the protocol, tie it as a U.S. Treasury and let that be exchanged and validated.
Because the core of the Bitcoins is really just a validation system.
The real power of the Bitcoins is to say that I no longer have that one Bitcoins. I sent it to you and now you have it and all the miners are putting their power — and it is actually not a peer to peer — I think it is a competitive peer mining ecosystem.
They are all trying to first calculate the winning formula or output so that they can get the 25 Bitcoins reward.
There are a lot of losing miners out there that spend a lot of expensive electricity, but they don't win that reward and they hurry up and tried to win the next reward.
So as some are unsuccessful, they are going to drop out.
Summer going to be more successful because they have more computing power.
May they set up shop in Seattle where the electricity is cheaper.
You know it is a very open market.
But I think your question is a possible future use of Bitcoin.
>>: I think I was just asking — it seems to me like it is just a distributed ledger that this intermediates.
If you can have a token that represents a Bitcoin, could you have a token that represents a dollar on yet a separate block chain.
>>: And that is what Ecuador is doing.
>>: But it sounded to me like they were tying it to the Bitcoin. That I missed that?
>>: No.
>>: It is a separate block chain?
>>: Yes. It is a separate copied or mimicked Bitcoin protocol because it is a free source. It is a free open source code out there.
>>: David?
>>: So the material we were reading, it talks about the market either being unregulated or subject to existing regulation.
Where do you see this between those two? And what are the differences between the American perspective and that of Europe or are there any differences? I think there is a misconception that Bitcoin is unregulated. I think since it's invention, since they won, it is subject to existing Money transmission regulations and other consumer protection or.
So it is definitely regulated in many different ways.
I could go into detail about my transmission if you would like me to. But I will not.
These other countries, it varies.
There are some countries that are friendlier and some countries that are more hostile.
So take for example, Russia. It seems to be, have a law proceeding through its processes that might make it illegal.
And I think it is largely the cause they are concerned about the capital controls.
You need to have other things such as — Amsterdam — it has been especially from the.
The UK recently, they announced that he wants the UK in London to be the capital of Bitcoin finance and he wants to initiate a proceeding on how to figure out how to open up that regulatory space there.
So there seems to be a bit of competition right now to attract that investment and to attract that innovation.
>>: I also think for a regulatory perspective, you have to think about different US, or whatever countries, regulators, from their own perspective or wheelhouse, things they are concerned about in particular.
Maybe the consumer finance protection Bureau, which deals with consumer issues and the securities and exchange Commission will think about other issues.
From the FCC perspective, whether you raise capital with dollars or dog biscuits or Bitcoin, you still have to abide by securities regulation.
And we have seen a couple of relatively prominent fraud and Ponzi scheme that happened with Bitcoin.
Coming back to this commission here, I think that Bitcoin is regulated by and could still achieve the policy objectives while fostering really important innovation in the marketplace through contract structure and market structure as well.
I think on some level that regulators need to let Bitcoin developers put their money where their mouth i s.
And say if there is a system that can sort of revolutionize or up in finance this by making it decentralized and cheaper and so forth and faster, you should try it and see what sort of policy objectives in terms of consumer and investor protection and market protection you can achieve as well.
>>: Just one more point on that.
The question to regulate or not, usually with regard to underlined activity.
To regulate Bitcoin is like regulating the Internet.
It is what you do on the Internet or how you use that, money transfer, by an asset, e-commerce or otherwise.
You don't just regulate the Internet, no one does and the Internet is a protocol. Most people don't know that. But it is TCP/IP, Internet protocol. Nobody in the room really cares about analyzing what the protocol is or who wrote it or otherwise, but it has long existed, originally developed with government research money, and it is used reliably for very long time.
Bitcoin is another protocol.
What would you regulate? The activity using the protocol called Bitcoin and if it is for money transfer, then okay. If it is for swaps, that is the regulation that the FCC uses as an index. If it has a Bitcoin asset beneath it.
You cannot say regulate Bitcoin so much as you can say regulate activity that touches, utilizes, or otherwise, involves the use of that protocol.
>>: From the perspective of this regulator, to what extent would markets and swaps for Bitcoin be susceptible to me relation?
>>: So with regard to what we have established in the filing that we presented to the CF CT, we built a a swap. And the swap relies on an index, a series of underlined markets.
The underlined markets could potentially be susceptible to manipulation and what we had to establish with the staff and ultimately our self certification is that the numbers we are pulling from these various exchanges will ultimately be curated, filtered, take out anonymous behavior to prevent somebody from essentially attempting to manipulate, either meeting the requirement that is not susceptible for many relation and two levels.
First is our market susceptible? Every participation is marketed and we have our own surveillance and we also have the surveillance of the NSA to back us up with regard to market participants.
He also surveilled the underlined market that feed into the index and as I mentioned before we had information sharing agreements with each market so the location we pull data from provides us access to individual traders if necessary, positions they may hold to determine whether there is going to be manipulation.
As a matter of fact,, the changes, the exchanges we use are proud of the fact they are following KYC and what robust market places to address the very question you are asking, which is is there many relation happening? They want a sound marketplace and they are achieving it in their marketplaces and we can take the data and build the swaps off of that.
>>: So you have these information sharing agreements between the TeraExchange, the cash markets, and the SEF's? Correct.
>>: Okay. But what other functions, surveillance functions do you use? You're getting a right of access of some sort, but otherwise, how are you surveilling these individual cash markets around the globe?
>>: We use surveillance by pulling the feed and watching surveillance on the feed, watch the price action and when we find the behavior, it is filtered in the index automatically props up on call for us to make an inquiry.
During the analysis for between March and when we ultimately filed, there was activity on what in the exchanges.
For example, it essentially look like someone could essentially be doing something. It triggered flags on our system to advise us to look out, look at this behavior which we did.
We made the phone call, spoke to the technology personnel and also spoke to the underlying controllers of the account. They said no. We know these players. There is nobody moving the market. There is no lost to trade.
We have that information at our disposal, so we can constantly monitor it.
>>: Anything else?
>>: I think that is going to bring the meeting to a close. We have gone over time.
Thank you again very, very much. Just one last point I would like to make on Bitcoin.
Obviously, there is relevancy here in taking up this topic today in light of TeraExchange filing.
As I mentioned before we expect that we are going to receive other filings from other platforms as well in the very, very near future.
I was interested to hear in some, some of the remarks by the professor about these applications that could be made at this technology in a way that is actually useful to our space, the derivatives space.
And it just seems like based on what I have learned, some of those applications could be so compelling that it would be a real mistake for us as a commission to not make sure we are staying on top of these development's.
Not, because we want to do anything other than understand the developments because it seems like this protocol, the Bitcoin protocol or something like it is very, very likely here to stay.
So the more information and education we can do on this now in trying to stay somewhere on the appropriate spot of the learning curve, it seems to be a very sensible thing to do.
So I think that it has been very, very helpful and thank you for representing the CFCT staff and I will turn it back over now.
>>: I think we are good. I want to thank everybody for coming. I want to give a special thanks to the staff and her team that does all the work going on behind the scenes.
I appreciate everyone coming today. And as the temporary chair, I now adjourn the meeting.
Thank you for your participation in today's conference. | positive |
Coral reef scientists estimate that mass bleaching has killed 35% of corals on the northern and central Great Barrier Reef.
After months of intensive aerial and underwater surveys, researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies have released an initial estimate of the death toll from coral bleaching.
The impact, which is still unfolding, changes dramatically from north to south along the 2300km length of the Reef.
“We found on average, that 35% of the corals are now dead or dying on 84 reefs that we surveyed along the northern and central sections of the Great Barrier Reef, between Townsville and Papua New Guinea,” says Professor Terry Hughes, Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University (JCU).
“Some reefs are in much better shape, especially from Cairns southwards, where the average mortality is estimated at only 5%.
“This year is the third time in 18 years that the Great Barrier Reef has experienced mass bleaching due to global warming, and the current event is much more extreme than we’ve measured before.
“These three events have all occurred while global temperatures have risen by just 1 degree C above the pre-industrial period.
“We’re rapidly running out of time to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
Coral bleaching occurs when abnormal environmental conditions, like heightened sea temperatures, cause corals to expel tiny photosynthetic algae, called ‘zooxanthellae’.
The loss of these algae causes the corals to turn white, and ‘bleach’.
Bleached corals can recover if the temperature drops and zooxanthellae are able to recolonise them, otherwise the coral may die.
“Fortunately, on reefs south of Cairns, our underwater surveys are also revealing that more than 95% of the corals have survived, and we expect these more mildly bleached corals to regain their normal colour over the next few months,” says Dr. Mia Hoogenboom, also from JCU.
Although substantially fewer corals have died to the south, the stress from bleaching is likely to temporarily slow down their reproduction and growth rates.
Move slider to see bleached mature staghorn coral in February 2016 at Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef. It was dead and overgrown by algae by April 2016.
According to the scientists, the reefs further south have escaped damage because water temperatures there, were closer to the normal summer conditions.
“It is critically important now to bolster the resilience of the Reef, and to maximise its natural capacity to recover,” says Professor John Pandolfi from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at The University of Queensland.
“But the reef is no longer as resilient as it once was, and it’s struggling to cope with three bleaching events in just 18 years.
“Many coastal reefs in particular are now severely degraded,” he said.
“In Western Australia, bleaching and mortality is also extensive and patchy,” says Dr. Verena Schoepf from The University of Western Australia.
“On the Kimberley coast where I work, up to 80% of the corals are severely bleached, and at least 15% have died already.
The researchers plan to re-visit the same reefs over coming months to measure the final loss of corals from bleaching.
The recovery of coral cover is expected to take a decade or longer, but it will take much longer to regain the largest and oldest corals that have died.

LAWRENCE, Mass. - A Massachusetts woman convicted of attempted murder for withholding cancer medications from her autistic son was sentenced to eight to 10 years in prison.
Kristen LaBrie wept and expressed remorse before a judge announced her punishment Friday in Lawrence Superior Court. She said she misses her son every day.
Authorities say LaBrie stopped filling Jeremy Fraser's cancer medication prescriptions. The boy died in 2009 at age 9. Prosecutors argued that he had an 85 to 90 percent chance of surviving had he received the proper treatment.
Mom kept meds from cancer-ridden autistic son
But LaBrie testified that the medicine made her son suffer even more.
"He was very, very sick, and I was afraid, and I did not want to have to make him get any more sick."
Judge Richard Welch said he had sympathy for the "tremendous pressures" LaBrie faced as a single parent raising a severely disabled child. But he said withholding the boy's treatment was "an extended, secretive and calculated act that chills the soul."
LaBrie could have gotten 20 years. Prosecutors asked for at least 16. Her lawyer sought one year in jail.
Her lawyer argued she was simply overwhelmed by caring for her son and asked for one year in jail plus probation. | positive |
Agile Job Descriptions
I'm in the process of reorganizing and streamlining job descriptions in our company, and now the HR manager wants me to define the differences between a junior software developer, a medior software developer and a senior software developer. Ehm… ok, that's a tough one. My first thought was that juniors need coaching, senior don't, and mediors end up somewhere in the middle. I would be perfectly happy with such a fuzzy-logic definition, but I'm afraid both our HR manager and our employees want more tangible function profiles.
Oh boy…
The Problem with Competences
The easy solution is to use competences. I could write job descriptions formalizing that seniors should be able to do A, B, and C, that mediors are able to do A and B, and that juniors are only expected to do A. But then I would be painting myself into a corner. I'm quite sure that, soon after formalizing such competence-oriented definitions, our software developers will need to acquire the new competences E, F and G. What then? I might be stuck with people not willing to adapt to the new situation, because the new competences haven't been formally documented. And continuously changing formal documents is the last thing I want. Not in the least because, in a country like The Netherlands, any change in a formal document needs the approval of at least three committees, two management layers and one counsel of wise old men.
Using Agile Requirements
Creating job descriptions is like setting up requirements, and I am gonna try and do this the agile way. I am unable to predict the future, therefore I am unable to define what competences people need to acquire three months from now. It's something we simply have to discover along the way.
Therefore, I think I might define our new job descriptions along the following lines:
Be able to satisfy project stakeholders, among customers and colleagues. Be able to deliver projects that are profitable, and matching their quality criteria. Be able to learn, follow and adapt professional software development processes.
Each of these requirements can be measurable (well, more or less), and they can be tuned to fit the different levels of juniors, mediors and seniors. For example: juniors must be able to learn processes, but seniors should be able to introduce and adapt them. But most important, they allow for any kind of changes in processes, technologies, quality criteria and stakeholder requirements. And with an ever-changing environment, that's exactly what I want.

Guilt floods her thoughts as she listens to him speak in that low, disappointed tone. The tone she had always feared from him before, worked so hard to hear the opposite. She had wanted to be different, wanted to be there for him after Blake left, but as he said - she was really no different after all. She’d done exactly what Blake had done, turned her back on him when he needed her the most. But… She couldn’t live that life anymore. Blake had made her realise that the White Fang was on the wrong path, and that Adam wasn’t who they thought he was.
“Don’t pretend to know what my parents would think…” A hint of bitterness is present in her tone as her own fist clenches, her gaze lowering. “I thought we were doing what was right. But… I was wrong. I watched you change, let you change me too. But when you sent us to kill the Belladonnas? Sent us to kill our own people? That’s when I realised how wrong I was.”
She lifts her gaze to meet his once more, her eyes a bright blue as she struggles with her inner turmoil. “And when I saw you were prepared to press that button and kill us all when the plan went wrong? That’s when I realised I was right.”

MassDOT reports that ridership on the only only-in-Boston commuter rail line increased 25% during the first of two fare-free weeks in May - and 44% the second week - but then dropped back down to normal light levels when the fares came back.
US Rep. Michael Capuano contributed roughly $50,000 from his congressional campaign coffers to fund the experiment, aimed at promoting use of the line, on which the state is spending more than $100 million to add more and new stations.
According to MassDOT:
An increase in total trips occurred during the two-week period, though this increase did not extend after the sponsored service expired. During the first week of the program, the number of weekday trips increased by approximately twenty-five percent (an additional 550 one-way trips per day or fourteen passengers per train) compared to the week before. The second week of the free-fare period showed an increase of forty-four percent from the week before the program. This is approximately 1,000 additional one-way trips per day or twenty-five more passengers per train. In the inbound direction, the additional trips were primarily in the morning peak and at 4 p.m. In the outbound direction, the additional trips were primarily in the afternoon peak and early afternoon.
Despite ridership falling back to non-free levels, advocates remained optimistic more people will eventually find their way to the commuter line, which has subway-levels fees, except at the end of the line at Readville - especially if the T increases the frequency of trains. In a statement, the Fairmount Indigo Transit Coalition said:
The Fairmount Indigo Transit Coalition appreciates Congressman Capuano’s bold step of sponsoring free rides to demonstrate the need for strong service on the Fairmount/Indigo Line. The FITC is excited about how our community mobilized to support bringing about a dramatic increase in ridership during the two weeks of sponsored free rides. We look forward to continuing to work with our elected officials, the City, and MassDOT/MBTA to improve service and make the Fairmount Line the best possible.

Update: Since we've written this article, gaming websites (CVG, Game Informer and more) have started to announce next week's previews, which will hit the web on Thursday May 2nd. We've also been told that these previews will contain signifcant new information, and that GTA fans will be VERY pleased. Stick to GTAV.net, as we'll have a summary and links to all of next week's previews from around the globe once they go online. Original Article: Earlier this week, we've been hearing some buzz about new previews for GTAV scheduled to go online next week. Today, we've been hearing more of this.
While over the last couple of years we've generally chosen to stay away from V rumors, we think this one is VERY credible to report on! Some of you may remember that for GTA IV we were spot on whenever it came to similar reporting on imminent previews... We don't really know anything on the specifics of these previews, other than that they'll contain new information on the game. Previews generally tend to come with new screenshots to go along, so we have our fingers crossed for that, as well. Much like last November, it seems we're heading for another explosive blow-out on more V information and images. The only difference: instead of just one trailer, we'll be getting three character trailers! We also noticed that CVG is running a poll for most anticipated game of 2013. The poll is not very functional, and kind of confusing at first, but make sure to vote for GTAV on this page! Remember, 10 is the highest score (meaning, yo | positive |

(booth #4231) will feature KEMPEROL 022, a solvent-free, fully-reinforced membrane system for sealing kitchens, bathrooms, locker rooms, laundry and utility areas before installing tile or stone. Coverings, the global tile & stone experience, is April 4-7 in Orlando, Fla. The seamless indoor waterproofing system is engineered to protect the underlying structure, and tile or stone can usually be installed the next day. Ideal for commercial projects, the high-performance KEMPEROL 022 system can seal shower stalls, floors, walls, counters and backsplashes in any wet indoor area. The self-flashing membrane system bridges small cracks, and monolithically seals into corners, around penetrations and irregular shapes. As a solvent-free system, KEMPEROL 022 offers a special advantage for hotels/motels, commercial offices, government buildings, condos and high-rises, schools and healthcare facilities. Unlike other liquid waterproofing systems, the two-component resin system is fully reinforced, solvent-free and requires no primer. Because it fully adheres to substrates, the membrane is more reliable than shower liners which are usually nailed or tacked in place. The KEMPEROL 022 membrane waterproofing system is manufactured by Kemper System America Inc. and available nationwide through building product distributors.

Our Bill Passed! Top slideshow: Thank you, PSC members! The bill on future funding for CUNY passed in the NYS Senate the evening of June 18. There is no doubt that the reason it moved out of committee and onto the Senate floor for a full vote was that the PSC, together with our allies, gave it a strong final push. You sent 6,407 messages to the Senate just in the past six days. And that effort was only the final phase of a legislative campaign that has spanned many months. Congratulations to everyone who met with legislators in Albany or their districts, who made calls or sent letters or otherwise made your voices heard. This is your victory. And special thanks to the CUNY graduates who recorded radio ads for the PSC. The bill, A5370a/S281a, requires the State to allocate funding to CUNY in the annual budget at a level sufficient to cover mandatory cost increases, including contractual raises. It covers only future years, not retroactive pay, so we will continue our fight on that front, but it is a huge step forward. The bill is not law until it is signed by the Governor, and bills are sent to him for signature throughout the summer. We will keep you posted. Critical and organized as our campaign was, we did not accomplish this alone. I want to thank the PSC’s terrific legislative staff, the other PSC officers and former officers, our statewide affiliate NYSUT—which dedicated significant resources to this fight—and the CUNY administration, which strongly supported the bill. But the biggest thanks go to you, the active members of the PSC. I cannot celebrate our victory today without being conscious of the sickening mass murder in Charleston’s Emanuel AME Church and the persistence of murderous racism. For many of us, working at CUNY is part of a larger anti-racist commitment. The PSC will send a contribution to the church community and will rededicate itself to racial and educational justice.

Current reports of North Korea’s July 4 missile test say the missile had a range of “more that 930 km” (580 miles), and flew for 37 minutes (according to US Pacific Command).
A missile of that range would need to fly on a very highly lofted trajectory to have such a long flight time.
Assuming a range of 950 km, then a flight time of 37 minutes would require it to reach a maximum altitude of more than 2,800 km (1700 miles).
So if the reports are correct, that same missile could reach a maximum range of roughly 6,700 km (4,160 miles) on a standard trajectory.
That range would not be enough to reach the lower 48 states or the large islands of Hawaii, but would allow it to reach all of Alaska.
There is not enough information yet to determine whether this launch could be done with a modified version of the Hwasong-12 missile that was launched on May 14.

As details emerge about the most deadly incident of the Afghan war, you’ve got even more reasons to worry.
First an unnamed Afghan official tells the AFP that the strike was a Taliban trap:
“The Taliban knew which route the helicopter would take. That’s the only route, so they took position[s] on either side of the valley on mountains and as the helicopter approached, they attacked it with rockets and other modern weapons. It was a trap that was set by a Taliban commander.”
Second, a US Army insider tells Wired’s Danger Room this may have been the first use of an Improvised Rocket Assisted Mortar in Afghanistan:
The so-called “Improvised Rocket-Assisted Mortar” made its debut in Iraq in 2008, although not in attacks on aircraft. IRAMs combine traditional tube mortars with rocket boosters and, in many cases, remote triggers, allowing insurgents to fire them from a distance.
IRAMs have killed several U.S. troops in Iraq over the years, but haven’t factored heavily in the Afghanistan fighting. The weapon’s appearance in Wardak, if confirmed, could be proof of Afghan insurgents’ continued ability to adapt and innovate despite mounting losses.
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Improvised rockets are notoriously inaccurate. But with bigger warheads than shoulder-fired RPGs, IRAMs are potentially much more destructive when they do hit.

THREE PEOPLE arrested in connection with alleged smuggling of illegal immigrants through Dublin Airport are to appear in court tomorrow morning.
Two of the men arrested are Aer Lingus employees. The third was a suspected illegal immigrant. Gardaí suspect the two Aer Lingus workers were facilitating this man’s illegal entry into the state.
The arrests of the three men (aged 61, 56 and 28) took place at the airport last night in an operation carried out by the Garda Immigration Bureau (GNIB) assisted by the Garda Special Detective Unit (SDU).
The three men are currently detained at Ballymun and Coolock garda stations.
Speaking to reporters on Monday afternoon, Assistant Commissioner John O’Driscoll said gardaí have searched a number of premises and vehicles as part of the investigation.
They are working to identify how many occasions in the past this may have taken place. He said gardaí investigating this incident were analysing a “considerable amount of data”.

Clearly people who are from particular jurisdictions are willing to pay considerable sums of money if they can enter a jurisdiction where they would not otherwise have that capacity. There is always a temptation there for people to succumb to the offering of corrupt payments.
O’Driscoll said Ireland’s reputation would be “greatly damaged” if it did not show a capacity to continuously monitor immigration controls. However, he pointed out that authorities are regularly refusing leave to land to people detected in the course of their attempt to enter the state.
Last year, they refused leave to land to some 3,300 people – a 15% increase on the previous year.
In a statement, the Aer Lingus confirmed two of its employees had been arrested and said it is co-operating fully with gardaí. DAA, which runs Dublin Airport, also said it is assisting the GNIB with inquiries.

Wolves midfielder Ben Marshall (number 64) watches his free-kick hit the crossbar against Ipswich
Ipswich Town were held to a goalless draw at home against Championship strugglers Wolves, who remain one place above the relegation zone.
The visitors ended a six-match losing run, but could have snatched victory late on when both Jon Dadi Bodvarsson and Ben Marshall hit the woodwork.
Ipswich's top goalscorer Tom Lawrence had earlier seen a cross-shot cleared off the line by Matt Doherty.
A drab affair ended in the fifth successive draw between the two sides.
There were only three efforts on target in the whole match, with Romain Saiss firing over a free-kick in a dangerous position for the visitors in the first half.
Lawrence then teed up David McGoldrick after pouncing on a defensive lapse, but the Town forward was thwarted by keeper Carl Ikeme, who also had to be alert to keep out Lawrence's direct corner away from his own goal-line.
Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy remains unbeaten against his former club in seven matches against them, and his Town side are now unbeaten in seven matches, but they have drawn six of those.
Paul Lambert's Wolves, without a victory since 31 January, are a point above 22nd-placed Bristol City with two games in hand over all of the teams in the drop zone.
Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy:
"I think they were the better team in the second half, though I am not sure why that was.
"I am not looking for excuses - we have to play better than that. I don't think we are safe yet. We still have a bit to do and I think we need to scrap it out.
"Our only positive is that we have got a point and kept a clean sheet."
Wolves head coach Paul Lambert:
"I thought we were pretty comfortable in the first half and we were on top after the break when we had lots of the ball and hit the bar and the post. We deserved to win.
"It is a big point for us as it stops the slide we were on. But, believe it or not, we have been playing well during this bad run against the likes of Reading and Newcastle.
"We have been dominating some games, we just haven't had that finishing touch. Performance-wise, I couldn't ask for more and if we keep doing what we have been doing, we will be fine." | positive |
Football is a team game at its core, but it's also a playground rich with big personalities and outrageous skill. The biggest stars are defined by their otherworldly egos; calculated branding; and absurd, highlight-worthy goals.
Cristiano Ronaldo's hair. Mario Balotelli's non-celebration celebration. Lionel Messi's childlike glee. Every word that passes through Jose Mourinho's lips. Yaya Toure's callous treatment of opponents, not as human beings but simply as physical matter to be navigated, anonymous in his wake.
We remember them because they force us to remember. To watch a game involving any of the above is to see history made in real time. Even when they're injured, the camera is drawn to them in the stands, on the sidelines.
Pirlo has won the Serie A title in each of his three seasons at Juventus.
Wherever they happen to be watching the game, we can't help watching them and making GIFs of every reaction, facial tic or style choice. Though Gareth Bale's gazelle-esque acceleration beyond Marc Bartra for Real Madrid's Copa del Rey-winning goal was a breathless force of nature, there was as much attention lavished on Ronaldo's black Nike hat as on the goal itself.
Yet there's another strata of equally worthy heroes, those whose quiet command of the spotlight is just as intriguing. To borrow a recent line from Colson Whitehead, they're the Peter Lawford of football's Rat Pack, the "ones who hold the secrets."
They don't demand your attention; they steal it.
- #WorldCupRank: No. 15, Andrea Pirlo
- 32 teams in 32 days: Italy
Andrea Pirlo is the crown prince of football's secrets. Enigmatic to the point of redefining the word, his skill has steadily propelled every team of which he's ever been a part. Dashing looks, fly-like vision, unparalleled passing range and a free-kick gift that's simply unmatched.
Ball games were invented centuries ago with Pirlo as the endgame, each leather orb seemingly made to nestle on his instep. When Pirlo parts with it, there's no separation anxiety given his intent; an assist, a sublime pass into space, yet another set piece nestled in the back of a net, another goalkeeper beaten.
Pirlo's impudent penalty is one of the abiding memories of Euro 2012.
The apex of his brilliance? Euro 2012. That penalty. Sure, he was using another man's trick -- the Panenka, named for its Czech creator, Antonin, who beat West Germany in Euro 1976 with it in a penalty shootout -- but the execution was so ballsy and flawless that it's almost worth renaming in Pirlo's honour.
Humiliation from 12 yards out, Pirlo's delicate chip set the tone for Italy's PK win over England in the quarterfinals, an emasculating slap from which the Three Lions (and, to some extent, Joe Hart) have arguably never quite recovered.
It wasn't the first time he'd done it, but such is Pirlo's confidence that he could do it 100 times and score 99.
(It's worth watching the entire shootout again to see how much it swung the outcome in the Azzurri's favour. England were up 2-1 at the time of Pirlo's casual amble to the spot; after Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney thundered theirs beyond Gianluigi Buffon, Riccardo Montolivo sidefooted his wide of the post. Hart was confident; so were England. After Pirlo's chip, Ashley Young thumped one off the bar, desperately trying to erase Andrea's hex, while Ashley Cole surrendered with a tame sidefooter into Buffon's gut. It was the jab before the uppercut.)
Euro 2012 was "his" tournament -- as the Gazzetta dello Sport rhapsodized that summer, "The only thing missing now is for [Pirlo] to start multiplying loaves of bread and fish" -- but countless others have been, too.
The 2007 Champions League final, in which he erased Milan's renown as victims in the Miracle of Istanbul by steadily calming Gerrard's fiery influence and growing his own with every pass. Liverpool could barely get near him.
Pirlo has amassed over 100 caps since his Italy debut in 2002.
The 2006 World Cup; his pass for Fabio Grosso's extra-time goal that broke the spirit of host nation Germany and pushed Italy into the final. Though the Italian left-back deserves endless credit for his curling finish, Pirlo's no-look dink into a tiny pocket of space was the difference.
The 2011-12 Serie A season; after joining Juventus thanks to Milan's crumbling finances (they mutually agreed not to renew his contract as he passed his 32nd birthday), he led The Old Lady to the first of three successive Scudettos, notching 13 assists and winning the club's player of the season award.
It could be argued, to a point, that Pirlo is a bit of a luxury in the modern era. Many teams couldn't afford to carry him in midfield given the uptick in pace and the need for defensive work from every man on the pitch, but both Juve and Italy have been all too happy to surround him with agile, hard-working teammates so that his curated skill sets can shine to the fullest.
Pirlo isn't all grace, either. Take his goal against Parma, almost antithetical to his usual art as he thundered it from fully 35 yards into the top corner. While the opponent sat back to prepare for a clever pass into the penalty area, he blew the house down.
He grew a beard; he grew better with age. He wrote a bracingly honest autobiography -- funny how Zlatan Ibrahimovic is mocked for his egotistical reflections, while Pirlo is lauded for his -- posed in vineyards, studied his free-kick skills on the toilet and revealed that he might, in fact, be a wizard.
But most of all, what makes Pirlo so revered is that he never changed his style to fit the modern game.
The game changed for him. | positive |
Before yesterday’s loss to Illinois, Minnesota announced that three Gophers players would be suspended for the game for an unspecified violation of team rules. As always, you have to go to the message boards for the details.
Leading scorer Nate Mason and freshmen Kevin Dorsey and Dupree McBrayer (pictured above) were benched for the game, with no immediate word on the length of their suspension—or the reason. In a brief statement, Gophers head coach Richard Pitino said:
“With the privilege of being a member of the University of Minnesota basketball program there are expectations and standards to which we hold our student-athletes accountable, and they have failed to do so.”
On Friday evening, Dorsey posted two videos to his Twitter account. They were deleted within 30 minutes, and Dorsey deleted his account soon after.
The posters at the GopherHole.com message boards are on it. Each video reportedly showed Dorsey and another man engaged in a sex act with a woman. It’s apparently not clear whether the second man in each video was the same, or whether it was two separate women, and only Dorsey’s face was clearly shown.
After the Gophers’ 84-71 loss, Pitino spoke obliquely about the suspensions.
“Obviously, culture and doing what’s right is extremely important to myself, our staff and our players. I wake up every day, and I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity that I have to coach in an awesome basketball conference and to coach in a place where I consider my dream job. We’re going to do things the right way. Tonight wasn’t about wins and losses, it was about making sure our guys understand that this thing is bigger than just basketball. And we’re going to do what we believe is right. Unfortunately you may lose the battle, but you’re going to win the war. Today was unfortunately not as much about wins and losses but about the culture of our program. That’s something we work at every single day. And it’s extremely important to what we’re all about.”

Washington Times:
The emergence of a viable Republican challenger in Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District is the culmination of a monthslong recruitment effort by tea party activists who say they were double-crossed by Mr. Ryan when he passed a $2 trillion spending package late last year.
Eric Odom, a conservative activist and political consultant in Wisconsin, confirmed with “100 percent certainty” that a local business leader would be running to oust Mr. Ryan.
“I’ve had the privilege of attending multiple meetings with this individual, during which he has expressed his sense of betrayal by Speaker Ryan. He has a strong desire to see real representation for the people of the district versus a congressman who represents special interests in Washington,” he said.
“It’s very personal for him,” Mr. Odom added. “He intends to run a full-scale candidacy that will shake up the establishment in a profound way.”
He acknowledged that it won’t be easy to defeat Mr. Ryan, who was the party’s 2012 vice presidential nominee, currently ranks as one of the most powerful Republicans in Washington and has more than $5 million in his campaign war chest.
The businessman is prepared to put a substantial amount of his personal fortune into the campaign, Mr. Odom said.
“He was pushed to the edge and betrayed,” he said.
While it’s often an uphill run, there is precedent for a tea party challenger toppling a member of the House Republican leadership. Eric Cantor, while serving as majority leader, lost his seat in a Richmond, Virginia, suburb in a 2014 primary upset to tea party-backed Dave Brat.
However, Mr. Ryan’s predecessor as speaker, John A. Boehner, easily defeated a tea party-backed primary challenger the same year in Ohio. At the time Mr. Boehner faced widespread opposition from conservatives and a revolt in the House Republican conference, which ultimately prompted him to resign in October.
Mr. Ryan did not seek the speakership but was drafted by conservative and mainstream House Republicans who saw him as a unifying figure who could mend the divide in the conference.
Still, the discontent on the homefront for Mr. Ryan is part of the ongoing tension between conservatives who want aggressive action to implement a right-wing agenda and party leaders who have taken a measured approach. | positive |
Well, for starters, we know he was a SWSM from France. Yes, SWSM stands for “single, white, straight male” whose occupation is listed as an inventor and photographer.
Born on November 18,1787, Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre is best known for inventing the Daguerreotype. A form of photography and a process which was “a one-of-a-kind image on a highly polished, silver-plated sheet of copper,” according to www.metmuseum.org.
In addition, “… it was sensitized with iodine vapors, exposed in a large box camera, developed in mercury fumes, and stabilized (or fixed) with salt water or “hypo” (sodium thiosulphate).”
And although Daguerre was required to reveal certain details involving the process, “he wisely retained the patent on the equipment necessary to practice the new art.”
However, “Daguerre’s invention did not spring to life fully grown, although in 1839 it may have seemed that way.

Failure to renew the Domain Privacy service while your domain name registration is still valid will result in the Domain Privacy being suspended, terminated or cancelled and your Registration Information will be displayed in any public WHOIS search. Domain Privacy renewals after initial purchase will be at the standard list price, which is available by logging in to your account. g. The Company expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without any liability to you whatsoever, to suspend or cancel your use of the Service and/or reveal the Registration Information in any public WHOIS search or to any third party at any time without notice to you: * To comply with any applicable laws, rules, regulations or requirements, or with any subpoenas, court orders, official government inquiries or requests of law enforcement; * To comply with ICANN’s Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (http://www.icann.org/en/help/dndr/udrp); * To resolve any and all third-party claims, whether threatened or made, arising out of your use of the Domain Privacy service, including without limitation, to avoid a dispute of any claim that the registered domain name violates or infringes a third party’s trademark, trade name, or other legal rights; * In the event you breach any provision of this Registration Agreement or any other agreement you’ve entered into with the Company, including, but not limited to, the Terms of Service; * To comply with the rules, procedures, or practices of the registry that governs the domain name extension receiving the Domain Privacy service and to protect the integrity and stability of the applicable domain name registry; * To avoid any financial loss or legal liability (civil or criminal) on the part of the Company, its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, agents, officers, directors, or employees; * To prevent inappropriate activity that comes to the Company’s attention, including without limitation if you are using Domain Privacy to hide your involvement in illegal or morally objectionable activities, including without limitation, activities that are intended to or otherwise: (i) appeal purely to the prurient interests of third parties; (ii) defame, embarrass, harm, abuse, threaten, or harass third parties; (iii) violate state or federal laws of the United States and/or foreign territories; (iv) involve hate crimes, terrorism, or child pornography; (v) are tortious, vulgar, obscene, invasive of a third party’s privacy, racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable; (vi) impersonate the identity of a third party; (vii) harm minors in any way; or (viii) relate to or transmit viruses, Trojan Horses, access codes, backdoors, worms, time bombs, or any other code, routine, mechanism, device or item that corrupts, damages, impairs, interferes with, intercepts or misappropriates any software, hardware, firmware, network, system, data, or personally identifiable information. h. Pursuant to paragraph 3.7.7.3 (http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/approved-with-specs-27jun13-en.htm#raa) of ICANN’s Registrar Accreditation Agreement (“RAA”), you agree that if you license use of a Registered Name (as that term is defined in the RAA) to a third party, you are nonetheless the Registered Name Holder of record (as that term is defined in the RAA) and are responsible for providing the full contact information and for providing and updating accurate technical and administrative contact information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the Registered Name. A Registered Name Holder licensing use of a Registered Name according to this provision shall accept liability for any harm caused by wrongful use of the Registered Name, unless the Registered Name Holder discloses the current contact information provided by the licensee and the identity of the licensee within seven (7) days to a party that provides the Registered Name Holder reasonable evidence of actionable harm. 7. Domain Parking a. Upon registration, the domain will be automatically placed on name servers provided by the Company, and Internet users that type in the domain will be redirected to a “coming soon” page (collectively, “parking a domain” or a “parked domain”). There is no charge for parking a domain. You hereby consent to and authorize the Company’s placement of a “coming soon” page, and its associated contents, on your parked domain. You may change the name server configuration (or “un-park” the domain) after the registration is complete. If you need to register name servers using the domains that you are currently registering, the names will initially be parked with the Company until you modify the name servers after the domain registration is complete, using your account manager. b. In the event your domain registration expires, your registration is no longer valid. If you are able to renew the domain name, you may update the domain to its original settings. After expiration, but prior to renewal, the domain may be pointed to an “expired” page (collectively, “parking a domain” or a “parked domain”). There is no charge for the parked domain. By not renewing the domain, the Company may place an “expired” page, and its associated contents, on the parked domain. You may change the name server configuration (or “un-park” the domain) after the renewal is complete. If you need to register name servers using the domains that you are currently renewing, the names will initially be parked with the Company until you modify the name servers after the domain renewal is complete, using your account manager. c. The “coming soon” and/or “expired” pages may contain advertisements and other materials selected by the Company, in the Company’s sole discretion. This may include, but is not limited to third-party websites, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines. The Company reserves the right to collect and retain all revenue obtained from such advertising and other materials. d. DNS Wildcard. In the event you utilize the Company’s DNS management services and fail to configure a wildcard DNS for your domain, the Company may insert wildcard DNS records to resolve subdomains of your domain that would not otherwise resolve. The Company may point those subdomains to a web page that may contain advertisements and other materials selected by the Company in the Company’s sole discretion. This may include, but is not limited to, third-party websites, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines. 8. Registration Renewal a. Renewal obligations. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any and all domains and additional services are renewed prior to their expiration, should you so desire their renewal. You may renew your domain at any time before the expiration date. the Company shall have no liability to you or any third party in connection with the renewal, including, but not limited to, any failure or errors in renewing the services. b. You may be notified at the Company’s sole discretion when renewal fees are due. Should these fees go unpaid within the time specified in a notice or reminder regarding renewal, your registration will be cancelled. Payment must be made by such other method as we indicate in the renewal form. If your billing information is not accurate, you are solely responsible for the failure to renew. c. Autorenewal. You agree that if you paid for any services provided hereunder by credit card or other payment service (such as PayPal), you hereby authorize but do NOT obligate, the Company to automatically charge your credit card or payment service account and renew the applicable service(s) on or before their renewal date using the credit card or other acceptable payment information you have provided to the Company, unless you notify the Company that you do not wish to participate in the Company’s automatic renewal process. The Company must receive notification of your intent to not renew (opt-out) no later than sixteen (16) days prior to the renewal date. In the absence of such notification from you, the Company will automatically renew, for a period of one (1) or two (2) years, as set forth by the applicable registry depending on the TLD or ccTLD of your domain name, any domain that is up for renewal and will charge the credit card or payment service account you have on file with the Company, at the Company’s then current rates. You are solely responsible for the credit card or other payment information you provide to the Company and must promptly inform the Company of any changes thereto (e.g., change of expiration date or account number). If the credit card or payment service account has expired or is otherwise invalid, you are solely responsible for a failure to renew and the Company shall not be liable for your failure. d. Expired domain names. You agree that we may place our contact information in the WHOIS output for any expired domain name, as the failure to renew results in the immediate cancellation of registration and loss of all rights to the domain name. Should you choose not to renew your domain name, you agree that we may, in our sole discretion, renew and transfer the domain name to a third party on your behalf as an Expired Domain Transfer (“ED Transfer”). e. New customers through domain auction or brokerage partners and/or ED Transfers. If you are registering a domain name that was registered with, and not yet deleted by, the Company at the time of your purchase, you acknowledge and agree that the term of your registration will be for a period of one year from the original expiration date for the domain name immediately prior to your purchase, as the registration is the result of an ED Transfer (defined above). You will not be compensated for the inability to use the domain from the time it was expired until the time you are able to use the domain in your account.

For the adjudication of disputes concerning or arising from use of the second level domain (“SLD”) name, the SLD holder shall submit, without prejudice to other potentially applicable jurisdictions, to the jurisdiction of the courts (1) of the SLD holder’s domicile and (2) where registrar is located.

Your use of the Services is also governed by the following: * Informal Process First. You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and Ashopway (OPC) Pvt. Ltd., you will first contact us and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to arbitration under these Terms. * Binding Arbitration. Any dispute or claim that remains unresolved after the informal dispute resolution described in Section 1 except for disputes relating to the infringement of our intellectual property rights or the access or use of the Service in violation of these Terms (a “Claim”) or Claims seeking more than $10,000 in damages, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, provided that you may assert Claims in small claims court located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts if your Claims qualify * No Judge or Jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms as a court would * Arbitrator and Rules. The arbitration will be conducted before a neutral single arbitrator, whose decision will be final and binding, and the arbitral proceedings will be governed by the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, Consumer Due Process Protocol, and Supplementary Procedures for Resolution of Consumer Related Disputes. These rules can be found on the AAA website at www.adr.org. In the event of a conflict between the commercial arbitration rules and this Arbitration Agreement, this agreement shall control, and the parties shall designate another arbitrator. * Starting an Arbitration.

Ltd. should be sent by any of the following means:(i) electronic mail; or (ii) sending the Notice by U.S. Postal Service certified mail to Ashopway (OPC) Pvt. Ltd.. The Notice must (x) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (y) set forth the specific relief sought.

Ltd. may commence an arbitration proceeding. * Format of Proceedings. The arbitration will be conducted, at the option of the party seeking relief, by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions. * Fees. If you initiate arbitration, your arbitration fees will be limited to the filing fee set forth in the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. Unless the arbitrator finds the arbitration was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, we will pay all other AAA and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. Any fees greater than the filing fees of the small claims court in your home jurisdiction will be paid by Ashopway (OPC) Pvt. Ltd.. * Individual Basis; Jury Trial Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Ashopway (OPC) Pvt. Ltd. each agree that any proceeding to resolve a Claim will be conducted only in the respective party’s individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, multiple plaintiff or representative action (“Class Action”). If for any reason a Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and Ashopway (OPC) Pvt. Ltd. each waive any right to a jury trial. You and Ashopway (OPC) Pvt. Ltd. expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. Further, you agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings or more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and that if this specific proviso is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration clause shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. * Enforcement. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The United Nations Conventions on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will have no applicability. * Invalidity. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds the foregoing arbitration provisions invalid or inapplicable, you and Ashopway (OPC) Pvt. Ltd. each agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts located in Boston, Massachusetts, and you and Ashopway (OPC) Pvt. Ltd. each agree to submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any applicable dispute or claim. * Opting Out. If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with us and you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to legal@Ashopway (OPC) Pvt. Ltd.-inc.com within thirty (30) days of the first of the date you access or use the Service. * Confidentiality. The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and any award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision. d.

Ideal for displaying cut fruit or pre-packaged variety mixes. Size 48" × 32" Our Anti-Microbial Plastics NEW - The Benefits of Anti-Microbial Agent Added to Plastics We found a technology developed by a European Plastics company that launched a biomimetic solution for Anti-Microbial Plastics in mass production. We currently have the capability to add Sani-concentrates to our plastic sheets to safely create self-sanitizing products giving our Fresh Merchandising displays an Anti-Microbial property of up to 99% in less than 24 hours. What is Sani-concentrates? Sani-concentrates contains the trace element Zinc. Zinc is a mineral found in our food like spinach, chocolate and meat. Zinc used in plastics does not migrate outside of the plastic, thus giving no any "additives" to the produce sitting on the display. Plastic infused with Zinc creates a hostile environment for bacteria growth giving extra shelf life for your produce on display. Zinc is generally recognized as Safe (GRAS) and is permitted for use in plastics for the food industry. What does this mean? The Anti-Microbial Plastic will inhibit bacteria growth, creating a hostile environment in which bacteria cannot survive. This means, your produce would have extra day of shelf life, thus increasing profitability.

When the Denver Broncos signed slot receiver Wes Welker earlier in the offseason, it marked the end of veteran Brandon Stokley's time in Denver.
Stokley is 36, but he wants to play again in 2013 (per DenverBroncos.com). According to John Elway, Denver's executive vice president of football operations, he won't be returning to Denver.
"Having been in this league for 16 years, I had so many good friends go out the door year after year after year. You kind of realize it's part of the business," Elway told Dave Logan of 850 KOA (via DenverBroncos.com) on Monday.
Welker is five years younger than Stokley and is coming off an 118-catch season, providing an upgrade at the slot position for quarterback Peyton Manning. But it's still hard for fans—and even Elway—to see a player like Stokley leave.
"He came in and was a tremendous help for us. Great guy. Great leader. It's always hard to have a quality guy like that leave you," concluded Elway.
Stokley is a down-to-earth athlete that has been clutch as a slot receiver in the NFL since 1999, making him a fan favorite. He spent two different stints in Denver (2007-2009 and 2012) and created some historic memories along the way.
Including this epic play:
Despite losing his gig in Denver to Welker, Stokley is not yet ready to call it quits.
"This is about the only thing I do halfway decent, so for me, why not (continue playing)?” Stokley said in January. “I feel like I still love it, I still love competing and I still love playing football, so hopefully I’ll get another opportunity.”
That opportunity won't be in Denver, but the original Slot Machine is currently considering other options. Stokley visited the Tennesse Titans last week, according to Jim Wyatt of the Nashville Tennessean.
Thanks for the memories, Brandon. Wishing you all the best in 2013 and beyond. | positive |

Add it to your beam warm-up – Swing Big! Home About Services Consulting Clinics FAQ Blog Shop Praise Contact Add it to your beam warm-up 0 Hi All, Today I wanted to share one quick thing I’ve been doing in beam warm-ups a lot lately. I believe the first time I saw this exercise was in a Tammy Biggs lecture a long time ago, but I’ve only recently started having gymnasts do it a lot, and I have to say I really like it. This exercise requires a good deal of concentration for the kids to keep their upper body still, isolate the bottom leg moving and keep their high releve. Ideally kids hold each part (back, together, front) for about a second. It won’t look pretty at first (especially if you do it with little ones), but I’ve found that they get better at this really fast. This is a great little exercise for developing stability and control. I know it may seem tedious (three seconds per step is a lot), but it’s worth it to have gymnasts who are truly in control on beam. Train hard!

In his new book, out this week, the Arsenal legend says being good at football is not enough, you need to love the game
What motivates you, Dennis? "I think about this a lot, especially now I'm a coach. You see players who have a hunger to succeed because they had a difficult childhood. You know, people often say: 'You have to be down in the gutter to understand what it means in life.' You're always thinking about which of the young players has the drive to have a great career. As a coach you're looking for that hunger. I know I had that drive."
You weren't in the gutter. "No, no, not at all. I had a very secure, happy childhood. We could just about manage. Maybe you could say: 'Then money is my drive.' But it isn't."
Is it just passion? Is it something within yourself? You're very shy and modest but deep down inside you want to be the best in the world and that's your goal, your aim … "That's me. Sometimes you hear of people having drive because their parents divorced. My parents weren't divorced. Perhaps it was significant that we didn't have much money when I was a child. It doesn't explain my drive but maybe it formed me in some way. Perhaps it made me feel that, if you have a chance, you go for it and keep going for it."
What do you look for in the youngsters you coach now? "Well, you see straightaway who has drive. But it can come from different things. Let's say this kid wants to be a millionaire when he's 18. That's drive. Is it bad? 'By 28 I want to have three sports cars and the only way to get them is to win trophies and play good football.' If that's his conclusion, maybe it's OK. But if he thinks: 'I'm making one million each year now and if I play for five years I've got five million and that's it, I can retire,' that's different. Or: 'I'll stay in the reserves and just keep training as long as I can put gas in my Lamborghini.' I'm not sure that's drive at all. It's not a passion from the soul. And that's what you're looking for: the real passion that comes from inside."
And, in the end, perhaps the striving to improve becomes almost spiritual. Patrick Vieira says that with you it is both artistic and spiritual. "Well, you set yourself goals, targets. And once you've got there you want to move on and go further. You keep raising the bar and therefore it's never good enough. You want perfection. It's never good enough but it's within your reach. You climb one mountain and see the higher one. And I want to do it, I want to do that. But I like what you say that it's a passion – something within the soul, isn't it? It's deeper. Whereas ambition, for money or whatever, is more calculating. It can be satisfied. But passion is … no … you keep … you want to grab it. You do the hard thing, always go for the difficult thing, and then you have to go for the next thing."
Arsène Wenger has an interesting view about this. He says: "It is a spiritual thing. I am convinced of that. I believe you have two kinds of players who play football. Those who want to serve football like you serve God, and they put football so high that everything that is not close to what football should be is a little bit non-acceptable. And then you have those who use football to serve their ego. And sometimes the ego can get in the way of the game, because their interest comes before the interest of the game.
"Sometimes the big ego is linked with what we call strong personalities, charisma. But most of the time what people call charisma is just big ego. I believe that Dennis was one of those who had such a high idea of the game and such a respect for the game that he wanted that to be above everything. I believe that the real great players are guided by how football should be played and not by how football should serve them. If it becomes spiritual, it's endless and you're always driven to going higher and getting closer to what you think football should be."
Then Wenger gives the example of a player who knows he ought to pass but takes a massive gamble and scores. "If he really loves the game he'll go home and worry about it. He'll know he really should have passed to set up an easy chance for someone else. But he was selfish and got lucky. If he doesn't care about the game he'll go home and think: 'That was great – I'll do the same next time.'"
And he says that's the difference. "That's why you have to teach the kids to respect the game and treat the game a little bit like a religion, that is above you, where you want to serve the game."
Would you talk about this sort of stuff with Arsène? "I remember when Arsène talked about players, sometimes he'd say: 'Oh no, he doesn't love the game …' This is quite a big statement from him. But I know exactly what he means. There are some players who, as soon as the whistle went at the end of training … boom! … They went inside, got changed, then straight in the car and away.
But the real liefhebbers (the literal translation is "love-havers", the guys who really have love for the game) stayed behind to practise. And not only players. David Dein and Massimo Moratti are people who really love the game too. At Arsenal it was always the same players, eight or nine, who stayed behind to work after training. And I guarantee if you do that you'll become a better player."
Freddie Ljungberg would stay? "Well, yeah. And Thierry was always there. Robert Pirés would stay. Others would stay and go to the gym, which is working as well."
And you competed with each other? 'That as well. It's part of being a successful team. But I like what you said about pushing each other, challenging each other, in training as well."
When you arrived at Arsenal you told everyone: 'Don't give me these soppy little passes, give me fast, hard balls because I can deal with anything that comes at me and playing faster is playing better.' By the time Pires and Ljungberg are in the team, a few years later, it's moved on a long way, it's at a much higher level. "Yes, always give me a strong pass because I want to challenge myself by controlling a difficult ball. You have to keep pushing and testing each other. Like you test your pace and strength against Sol Campbell. He's your team‑mate but in training you're against him. If you can beat Sol, who can't you beat in the Premier League? And if he can stop me or he can stop Thierry Henry, who can't he stop in the Premier League? That's the challenge: always trying to improve yourself. But it can only work when everyone is giving 100%. Like having goalies who try in training.
At Inter they didn't try and it was so frustrating. But Jens Lehmann? David Seaman? Fantastic! Jens couldn't stand to have a single shot go past him. And if I tried to lob David Seaman … woaah! If it worked, it was a fantastic goal and he was like: "Great, well done." But if it didn't work out, he got hold of the ball and smashed it two hundred yards away! He'd just kick it away and say "Get that!" and I'd have to go and get it. David is a nice soft guy – but not when he plays. That was his drive: "You're not going to fool me! Now get that ball!" I loved that attitude."
There seems to be a critical mass. You have to get a certain number of people doing this, all with their different motivations and talents. Get the right number of the right kind of people together and somehow it works.
"It starts somewhere. Maybe, as the players say, it started with me because I was like that. I wanted to give everything and when training was finished I would go on and I would keep practising and going and going … and suddenly there's goalkeepers staying on as well, saying: 'Wait a minute, I'm going to have some of that.' And then others would stay behind, too."

Starting with Firefox 50, the browser will feature improved mitigation against MIME confusion attacks, preventing a threat actor from disguising malicious code as other files, mostly images.
Whenever the browser receives a file from the server, Firefox will check the server response for the Content-Type header, which tells it what kind of file it downloaded, like "image/jpeg" or "text/json".
But not all servers are correctly configured, and sometimes this response is incorrect, or absent altogether.
In these cases, browsers use a technique called MIME sniffing to detect the file type value. They sniff the first few bytes of a file, and they also use the "load context," meaning the source of the load request. If it's an IMG tag, then the file is likely an image, and the browser deals with it accordingly, sending it to the multimedia processing component instead of its JavaScript or rendering (CSS) engine.
Unfortunately, this opens the door for MIME confusion attacks on improperly configured servers, or the ones that feature the "X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff" setting.
MIME confusion attacks leveraged to deliver XSS/CSRF code
For example, a MIME confusion attack occurs when an attacker changes the file extension and alters the first few bites of a JavaScript file, enough to fool a server and browser into thinking it's an image.
He uploads the image on the target server, and the server thinks it's an image and saves it in its database. When the file is delivered to other users (as an avatar image for example), the malicious code executes and triggers an XSS or CSRF attack inside the user's browser.
According to Christoph Kerschbaumer, Security & Privacy Engineer at Mozilla, starting with Firefox 50, the browser will enforce a series of rules to prevent this from happening.
These rules will apply when the server, for various reasons was misconfigured to use the "X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff" setting.
Firefox 50 will use a strict "context load" approach. This means that if the advertised file type is not what the browser expects, Firefox will refuse to load it, and eliminate the risk of an attacker compromising a misconfigured server. This does not eliminate MIME confusion attacks but severely reduces the attack surface.
Filter Valid Content-Types Stylesheet (CSS) “text/css” Images Must start with “image/” Scripts (JS) – “application/javascript”
– “application/x-javascript”
– “application/ecmascript”
– “application/json”
– “text/ecmascript”
– “text/javascript”
– “text/json”
If these rules aren't met, Firefox 50 will refuse to load the file and show an error in the browser's console, like the one below. | positive |
Thousands honor Vietnam War veterans in Pueblo
PUEBLO, Colo. - Hundreds of Vietnam War veterans were honored Saturday in the Home of Heroes.
The Pueblo Veteran's Council hosted its Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans event Saturday.
Vietnam War veteran Manuel Pedraza said the event is 40 years in the making after U.S. soldiers returning from the war did not get a hero's welcome.
"I found a very cruel reception. I found people that were calling us names, spitting at us, I even had people throw rocks at me," he said.
Veteran Wayne White said the Vietnam veterans were even shunned at one point.
"They didn't care for us too much. I mean you go to some place, they find out (you're a U.S. soldier from Vietnam) and they didn't want to be around you," White said.
The event honored the veterans with a 21-gun salute and proclamations from Pueblo city and county leaders. Veterans were also given pins bearing the inscription, "It's never too late, welcome home."
"It's brought everyone's morale back up. People are getting real excited," Pedraza said.
The war ended in 1975. More than 50,000 U.S. soldiers died in the war. | positive |
